Possible Version Traditional Culture in the Digital Age In the digital age, traditional Chinese culture is experiencing a new form of preservation. For example, the Palace Museum uses digital technology to document each cultural relic in detail, allowing people to explore them on virtual screens. This not only lets them “live forever” digitally but also conveys the brilliance of Chinese civilization. Through such technology, we can explore restored ancient relics at any time. Digital tools thus bridge the past and the future of Chinese culture. They make cultural resources easier to access and more engaging for the public. By combining technology with respect for tradition, I believe we can ensure that traditional culture continues to live . 第二节（满分25分） 67. Afraid that the moment would vanish, I launched my drone without hesitation. The excitement rushing through me left no room for thought or caution. The sudden buzzing sound shattered the peaceful scene. The deer raised their heads nervously, and within seconds, the herd fled into the mist. My heart sank as I watched them disappear. I had been so eager to capture the perfect shot that I had forgotten Tenzin’s warning. The drone hovered uselessly, and I lowered my head in shame. As frightened deer disappeared into the distance, Tenzin said, “Every year, there are people like you…” He stood silently for a long moment, his gaze heavy with the weight of having witnessed this too many times before. His voice was gentle but heavy with disappointment. He looked at the empty riverbank. “They want to take from this land, but never learn to give back.” Tenzin placed a hand on my shoulder. “The deer will return when they feel safe again. Next time, watch with your eyes, not your camera.” I nodded, feeling the weight of my mistake. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年武汉二中高三上学期八月月考 英语试卷 考试时间：2026年8月22日 试卷满分：150分 第一部分 听力 第一节 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段话仅读一遍。 1.

But When Driving, These Sunglasses May Save Your Life! Many drivers find themselves temporarily blinded while driving directly into the glare of the sun. Deadly accidents are regularly caused. Yet, motorists struggle on despite being blinded by the sun’s glare. Not all sunglasses are created equal. Protecting your eyes is serious business. With all the fancy fashion frames out there, it can be easy to overlook what really matters — the lenses (镜片). So we did our research and looked to the most advanced technology. Sometimes it does take a NASA rocket scientist. Some ordinary sunglasses can darken useful vision-enhancing light. But now, independent research conducted by scientists from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory brought forth ground-breaking technology to help protect eyesight from the harmful effects of solar radiation light. This superior lens technology was inspired by eagles’ eyes, known for their sharp eyesight. This discovery resulted in what is now known as Eagle Eyes®. The only Sunglass Technology Certified by the Space Foundation for UV and Blue-Light Eye Protection. The Trilenium® lens technology offers triple-filter (三重过滤) polarization to block 99.9% of UVA and UVB — plus the added benefit of blue-light eye protection. The finest optics: And buy one, get one FREE! Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed. If you are not amazed by the Eagle Eyes® technology, simply return one pair within 30 days for a full refund of the purchase price. The other pair is yours to keep. Two Pairs of Eagle Eyes® NavigatorTM Your Insider Offer Code: ENS245-01 Special price only for customers using the offer code versus the price on Stauer.com without your offer code Sunglasses $119.90 Special Price: 49 + S&H Save 70.90 Call 1-800-333-2045 21. Which feature is a key selling point of the product? A. It offers stylish frames. B. It ensures better visibility. C. It employs lighter materials. D. It has a limited-edition model 22. What is promised to customers within 30 days of purchase? A. A replacement for both pairs. B. A free upgrade to a new model. C. A full refund for one returned pair. D. A store credit for future purchases. 23. What must customers do to get the “special price”? A. Buy at a physical store. B. Order over two pairs. C. Call a hotline to register. D. Provide a required code. B When I wrote my first book three years ago, the words came naturally. Eight weeks of even rhythm and it was finished with ease. So when I sat down to write my second book, I expected the same effortless flow. Instead, I found myself staring at a blinking (闪烁的) typing line that seemed to flash with quiet accusation. I couldn’t begin. Day after day, I repeated the same routines: I set up the perfect workspace, blocked out hours for writing, and reread old pages that had once made me proud. None of it helped. For a while, I blamed myself, mistaking my procrastination (拖延) for laziness or lack of discipline. Still, the familiar motions kept me occupied while the work itself remained still. Eventually, exhaustion softened my stress, and I stopped pushing. What if the resistance was trying to tell me something? I opened my journal and started writing — not about the book, but about why I couldn’t write it. The truth that poured out was simple and childlike: What if this book isn’t as good as the first? What if readers decide a woman like me has already said everything she knows? Beneath the delay, I found fear — not of the work, but of judgment. Procrastination had become a safety net; staying still meant avoiding being seen and possibly found lacking. So I tried something different. I set a timer for five minutes and wrote whatever came. A sentence, half an idea, a small whisper of a scene. My hand moved first, and my mind followed. Piece by piece, those small beginnings grew into the book I had been afraid to start. By the time I finished, I saw procrastination differently. It was never merely delay. It was a quiet dialogue between the part of me that wants to try and the part that fears the fall. What I once called wasted time was, in truth, the stillness before courage — the quiet reward of writing. 24. Why did the author keep following the same routines? A. To escape from heavy work. B. To overcome her procrastination. C. To gain a false sense of progress. D. To improve her writing technique. 25. What actually prevented the author from writing? A. Lack of new ideas. B. Pursuit of perfection. C. Desire for social fame. D. Concern over disapproval. 26. How did the author manage to restart her writing? A. By taking one step at a time. B. By focusing on small details. C. By reflecting on the outcome. D. By following a flexible schedule. 27. What message does the author seem to deliver in the last paragraph? A. Courage helps fight against fear. B. Stillness can be part of creativity. C. Procrastination is a waste of time. D. Writers should avoid taking breaks. C Have you ever obeyed the suggestions of a digital writing assistant to replace a word or restructure a sentence? Before the appearance of digital tools, you’d probably have turned to a dictionary for the same assistance. Dictionaries enable us to write not with fail-safe convenience but with originality and a point of view. While AI assistants produce phrases and statements so writers don’t have to think them up, dictionaries provide us with the knowledge to use language ourselves in expressive and potentially infinite (无穷的) ways. They place choice and authority literally in human hands, forcing us to discover how we want to explain ourselves and our ideas to the world. The abundance of digital writing assistants gives greater urgency to debates about what a dictionary should be. In 1946, George Orwell described good writing as “picking out words for the sake of their meaning,” a practice that dictionaries facilitate while digital writing programs stifle. Writers consulting a dictionary make a choice, while writers guided by an app have their choices made for them. The digital-native approach delivers hands-off, derivative (衍生的) communication. The other requires leafing through pages without knowing exactly where you’ll end up. Without dictionaries to provide us with a guide to English’s potential, writing that way is nearly impossible. Our ability to express ourselves is critical — it helps us define who we are. Dictionaries aid us in achieving this: They categorize our unique ways of thinking through language. I’m a Canadian; my feeling of pride in my native land is enhanced by small verbal Canadianisms like “eaves trough” or “serviette”, which are well-documented in dictionaries but rarely used by AI chatbots, for the most part. As digital writing extends deeper into our lives and minds, we need dictionaries more than ever. Abandoning dictionaries and embracing mechanized writing would weaken our capacity for collective identity quite as much as the ability to express ourselves. 28. What might be a distinct feature of dictionaries according to the author? A. They promise fail-safe phrases. B. They possess academic authority. C. They facilitate creative writing. D. They provide ready-made expressions. 29. What does the underlined word “stifle” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Favor. B. Revise. C. Observe. D. Discourage. 30. Why does the author mention “eaves trough” and “serviette” in paragraph 4? A. To show how AI aids us in expressing. B. To indicate the weakness of dictionaries. C. To celebrate the diversity of Canadian English. D. To illustrate how language use affects identity. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why Keep Your Dictionary? B. How to Deal with Digital Writing? C. Who Uses Writing Assistants? D. What to Expect from Dictionaries? D Insect-size drones are too small to carry around complex navigation systems. To help tiny autonomous fliers find their way home, researchers are taking their clues from honeybees with the Bee-Nav, described today in Nature. A honeybee leaving the hive first takes a short learning flight to memorize nearby landmarks, explains the study’s lead author Guido de Croon. As a bee flies away, “it keeps track of the direction and speed of its movement,” de Croon says, in a process called path integration. Because path integration tends to gather tiny measurement errors over time, the insect relies on the memorized landmarks to correct its course as it gets back home. De Croon and his colleagues copied this workflow. A drone performs a learning flight, capturing scenery with a camera. It trains a neural (神经的) network to map images to homes, creating a safe zone. Using path integration, it returns, if within the zone, the network guides it home. The Bee-Nav does this using a computer the size of a credit card that runs neural nets with between 3.4 and 42.3 kilobytes (千字节) of memory — thousands of times less than conventional mapping setups use. “What I find especially exciting is how little computation is needed. This is the kind of approach that makes serious outdoor arrangements possible.” says Sarah Bergbreiter, a mechanical engineer. De Croon’s team is still working out a few challenges for the platform. “Platforms running Bee-Nav will also need local barrier avoidance and planning capability if the environment is crowded or dynamic,” says Sean Humbert, a mechanical engineer at the University of Colorado Boulder, who was not involved in the study. But even now, de Croon says, the Bee-Nav can make autonomous, outdoor drones smaller and more power-efficient. “We could easily put it on a 50-gram, even 30-gram drone,” de Croon claims. Scaling autonomous drones further down to the size of actual bees, he notes, would require solving other fundamental problems like contracting batteries. “But we hope when these problems are solved in the long term, we will have the intelligence ready to match that,” de Croon says. 32. What is the purpose of the research on Bee-Nav? A. To copy bees’ daily flight workflow. B. To adjust the overall size of micro drones. C. To facilitate the navigation of tiny drones. D. To improve drones’ load-carrying performance. 33. Why does the author describe the bee’s navigation before introducing Bee-Nav? A. To show how bees learn to fly around their hive. B. To prove tiny drones have trouble with navigation. C. To show that bees are more intelligent than drones. D. To explain the biological inspiration behind the Bee-Nav. 34. What is Sarah Bergbreiter’s attitude towards Bee-Nav? A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Uncaring. D. Interested. 35. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Drones as small as real bees are already widely used outdoors. B. The navigation technology for tiny drones still needs further tests. C. Bee-Nav is designed specifically for 30-gram to 50-gram drones. D. It is tough to make batteries smaller for bee-sized drones currently. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many high school seniors approach the college application essay with anxiety. They feel their lives are too ordinary to create a story that will impress admissions officers. 36 It just needs to be a genuine reflection of their personal growth, drawn from everyday moments. I once worked with a boy who had no idea what to write about. Family? Favorite subject? He kept silent until I suggested, “Hobbies?” He shyly said, “I like boxing.” Then his essay unfolded, not about boxing itself, but about self-discipline and resilience (坚韧), qualities that any college would admire. So look into the things that shape you. 37 Some students try to catch attention by writing their essays in unconventional forms, such as a poem or a play. Most still follow the traditional storytelling model: a hook (引子), a story, and a lesson learned. 38 For example, the rough edges and the pleasant smell of her father’s handmade furniture inspired one girl to become an engineer. The magic is in the details and emotional depth. As a writing tutor, I was hung up on language rules at first. Should I help my students stick t “standard English,” or let them write the way they naturally speak — even if that includes informal expressions? 39 It’s also about expressing ideas naturally and making connections with readers. It doesn’t hurt to tell a humorous childhood incident in a light, conversational tone. 40 Essay writing teaches students to express themselves with precision through rethinking ideas, refining language, and rewriting drafts. With multiple edits, they will uncover deeper insights and create a story only they can tell. A. After all, I preferred a formal writing style. B. A great essay eventually takes form in revision. C. I soon realized writing isn’t just about language. D. That’s why they try to make up appealing stories. E. Whatever the form, an essay stands out for its story. F. Once a topic clicks, the essay practically writes itself. G. But a powerful essay doesn’t require a dramatic story. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Over 200 residents of Beckenham, southeast London, had raised nearly £ 3 000 to send Paul Spiers, a well-liked street cleaner, on a summer break to Portugal.

I had come from a distant city, carrying not only heavy equipment — a camera, multiple lenses, and a drone — but also a strong desire to capture a breathtaking shot that could make my career. As a wildlife photographer, I believed that powerful images could inspire people to care about endangered species. However, in my eagerness for the “perfect moment,” I sometimes focused more on results than on the animals themselves. On my second day there, an elderly local man named Tenzin quietly reminded me that the deer were easily frightened and that loud noises or sudden movements could cause serious stress to them. I nodded politely, but deep down I felt my professional skills would keep everything under control. During the long wait, I noticed signs of life everywhere — fresh prints near the water and broken grass along the slope. Tenzin would occasionally pass by, silently observing the land with calm familiarity. His gentle presence contrasted sharply with my restless checking of equipment and constant adjustments. On the seventh morning, as the first light touched the snow-covered mountains, the landscape suddenly came alive. One by one, white-lipped deer stepped out of the mist. Soon there were dozens, then more than a hundred, moving peacefully along the riverbank. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Afraid that the moment would vanish, I launched my drone without hesitation. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As frightened deer disappeared into the distance, Tenzin said, “Every year, there are people like you…” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
