B In first grade, I took a spelling test with the word “of” on it. O-F. Of. Every student in the class spelled it correctly except Malcolm, who wrote “Uv.” I initially thought how stupid this kid was. But later it hit me that spelling “of” with a U and a V made more sense than with an O and an F, which had nothing to do with the sounds in the word “of.” Why was this ever-so-simple word spelled so illogically? The best answer I had was: That’s just the way it is. That’s what adults told me was the truth, and that’s how I had to spell the word to get it right on the test. So I’d better just keep quiet, look smart, and use an O and an F. I didn’t know it then, but this was my first brush with an understanding of what indoctrination was. We all embraced standards silently because they were backed by authority and custom. It was the rule, and the world would see Malcolm as stupid, and not the spelling. As I grew older, this memory helped me realize that the world has lots of strange rules and assumptions that we rarely question. As a teenager, I called them “uvisms,” spelled with a U and a V. For example, we are often told that success means good grades, yet many creative minds struggle in school but shine later in life. Such beliefs don’t always hold true. Growing up, I recognized the presence of these uvisms in the expectations placed on me by my surroundings. My parents, though well-meaning, handed down values that no longer fit my life. I doubted many, chose my own path and achieved great success — just as I chose to spell “of” with O and F to pass the test, but never stopped thinking about the U and the V. I have learned that many rules and traditions are there for good reasons, but many are not. You don’t have to follow all of them. I believe in the misspelling of the word “of,” and the necessity for each generation to rethink the assumptions of the previous generation. 4. What did the author think of “Uv”? A. It seemed odd but reasonable. B. It showed Malcolm’s talent. C. It helped to achieve good grades. D. It proved novel but controversial. 5. What does the underlined word “indoctrination” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Promoting creative projects. B. Teaching without questioning. C. Extending existing standards. D. Interacting without interrupting. 6. How did the author feel about the “uvisms”? A. Respectful. B. Astonished. C. Inspired. D. Critical. 7. What does the author’s experience show? A. Interest is the best teacher. B. Curiosity is the key to knowledge. C. Doubt is the beginning of wisdom. D. Creativity is the bridge to success. C Squid (鱿鱼) are widely regarded as one of the most intelligent groups of animals living in the ocean. Across roughly 375 species, squid can hunt cooperatively, recognize individual humans and learn from experience. However, according to an ongoing scientific study, ocean acidification (酸化), an often overlooked effect of human-caused climate change, could change this within decades. Researchers raised newly hatched squid in separate tanks-one reflecting present-day ocean CO₂, (pH 8.2) and the other representing CO₂ levels in the year 2100 based on a climate change prediction model (pH 7.8). After 90 days, the squid were removed and their heads were kept for analysis. Dr. Allen discovered that the brains of squid from the high-acid tank were 49% smaller in volume than the brains of squid raised under current CO₂ conditions. The most striking damage occurs in the squid’s optic lobes and optic tracts — brain regions responsible for handling visual information-which shrink (收缩) by over 50%. This brain damage directly leads to changes in behaviour. An earlier study found that squid exposed to high CO₂, hunt less often, and Dr. Allen links this to weaker vision. He believes the shrinking brain makes it harder for brain cells to pass signals correctly, which in turn affects their judgment and makes them more hesitant while hunting. The oceans take in nearly 30% of human-released CO₂ which has raised seawater acidity by about 30%, says the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). NOAA predicts ocean acidity could rise another 100%-150% by the end of this century if we keep releasing CO₂, at the current rate. If wild squid suffer the same brain damage, the impact could spread through the entire ocean food chain. Squid are not the only sea creatures at risk, but their sharp ability to learn makes their loss especially troubling. As our oceans grow more acidic, we may not only be changing what lives in the sea-but also how smart those creatures can be. 8. What did Dr. Allen’s research find about squid? A. Acidic water caused their brains to shrink. B. Present-day oceans sped up their growth. C. High CO₂ boosted their learning abilities. D. Climate change shortened their life span. 9. What causes squid to hunt less often? A. A lack of available food sources. B. A drop in overall physical strength. C. A decline in visual processing ability. D. A change in their living temperatures. 10. Why does the author mention the data from NOAA in paragraph 4? A. To predict what will happen to different sea creatures. B. To warn of the severity of ongoing ocean acidification. C. To prove human activities have caused global warming. D. To compare the CO₂ absorption rates of different periods. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Squid: A Smart Indicator of Ocean Acidification B. Climate Change: A Big Killer of Intelligent Squid C. The Food Chain Crisis: A Result of Human Actions D. Acidification: A Hidden Threat to Marine Intelligence D Visit an antique shop and you may find photographs, letters, or old brochures from decades ago. These objects were never designed to last forever, yet many have survived. Their physical form gives them a chance to remain part of the historical record. This raises an important question: will today’s digital information survive as successfully? For centuries, historians have relied on physical objects that endured even when their creators made no special effort to preserve them. A letter or photograph carries its information in the object itself. Digital information is different. It depends on devices, software, and file formats, all of which may become outdated. Saving a digital object, therefore, does not always mean saving the information inside it. Libraries and archives (档案馆) have long organized, preserved, and provided access to information. By digitizing physical collections, librarians allow researchers around the world to search materials quickly. Yet this success can make libraries seem less necessary. When people say that “everything is on a phone,” they often forget the careful work that made such access possible and the continuing effort required to maintain it. The danger becomes clear when we think about an old ZIP disk. The disk may still exist, but the files on it may be impossible to open because the necessary equipment or software has disappeared. Without regularly moving digital information into new formats, parts of the historical record may suddenly become unreadable. Future researchers could face a serious gap beginning when digital materials replaced physical ones. No complete solution to digital preservation yet exists. However, librarians and archivists are working to identify, organize, transfer, and protect digital materials. They also understand how researchers search for and use information. Their work cannot guarantee that every digital record will survive, but it can prevent the digital past from becoming inaccessible. Preserving digital history will remain difficult, yet professional care can ensure that future researchers find it challenging rather than impossible. In this sense, preservation is not an automatic process but a continuing responsibility. 12. What causes digital information to be at risk of loss? A. Its huge amount of data. B. Its high cost of daily maintenance. C. Its poor storage conditions. D. Its reliance on changing technology. 13. What misconception about libraries does the author point out? A. Digital access makes them unnecessary. B. They prefer to store physical materials. C. Researchers no longer need archives. D. Digitizing collections is very easy. 14. Why does the author mention the old ZIP disk? A. To introduce a popular storage device. B. To show the short lifespan of hardware. C. To prove the necessity of format updates. D. To compare different digital saving methods. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. Accessing databases is essential to researchers. B. Keeping digital historical records is a challenge. C. Hard work should be done to preserve artifacts. D. The contribution of libraries should be recognized. 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。 A hungry teen turns on his phone. A few taps later, he places an order. Within just a few moments, a meal arrives at his doorstep. With instant access to meals from a wide range of restaurants, food-delivery platforms offer unmatched convenience. ____16____ To begin with, the convenience of delivery often comes at the cost of connection. ____17____ For example, diners may place an order with a server. However, food delivery does not require any socialization. Workers simply drop off food, perhaps ring the doorbell, and leave. As a result, without the need for human contact, individuals may gradually isolate (孤立) themselves. ____18____ Dishes offered by restaurants often prioritize taste and appearance, frequently at the expense of nutrition. Compared to home-cooked meals, delivered food tends to be far less healthy. With food delivery services making these meals more accessible than ever, unhealthy options are now just a tap away. As delivery becomes more routine, so do poor eating habits. Furthermore, the environmental cost cannot be ignored. In fact, a 2021 report found that 44% of plastic waste discovered in the ocean came from takeout food and drink packaging. ____19____ The huge number of them used by these services also contributes significantly to carbon emissions and climate change. Though the rise of food delivery may be feeding our society’s hunger for convenience, it is ultimately starving our communities of connection, health, and sustainability. ____20____ Choosing home cooking or dining out more often will help us rebuild social bonds and live in a greener, healthier way. A. It greatly harms various sea creatures. B. Dining out involves basic human interaction. C. They bring more convenience to busy citizens. D. It is high time we reflected on our consumption habits. E. Health risks constitute another overlooked negative effect. F. But behind this smooth experience lie many unseen impacts. G. On top of that, the rise in delivery vehicles worsens the situation. 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。 I grew up in a small town and thought I would never put down roots in the countryside.

The town was famous for its seasonal craft (手工艺) market, which attracted thousands of visitors every summer. Years ago, Bala had arrived here with nothing. Through years of hard work, he eventually saved enough money to buy a few small workshop units. Last spring, Bala rented one of his workshops to David a young woodcarver, who was polite, passionate, and willing to work long hours. During the summer, his beautiful wooden souvenirs sold very well. Encouraged by his early success, David wanted to take his small business to the next level. He used most of his money to buy a large amount of high-quality wood and planned to spend the slow months carving bigger sculptures so that he could sell them when the peak season returned. Soon, freshly cut logs filled almost every corner of his room. However, bad weather hit unexpectedly. An early snowstorm blocked the mountain roads, keeping all tourists away. The lively town suddenly turned quiet and deserted. With no customers coming in, David soon ran out of money. Worse still, he could not even afford his daily meals, let alone the monthly rent. As the rent due date arrived, he felt hopeless. Late one cold evening, Bala came to collect the overdue rent. He pushed open the door and was surprised to find the room dark and freezing. David was sitting on the floor beside his wooden logs, wrapped in a thin coat, with a packed bag by his side. Shaking with cold, David explained to Bala that he had spent all his money on the wood and was left with no income, adding that the next day he would have to sell his carving tools to a pawnshop (当铺) to pay part of his rent before leaving. Looking at the young man’s desperate eyes and rough hands, Bala froze. The scene instantly reminded him of his own past — a poor, terrified boy who had once stood alone in a cold city, hopelessly wishing for a helping hand. 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。 Determined not to let the young man suffer the same pain, Bala stepped forward. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As spring returned to town, David watched eagerly by the window for tourists. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年8月泉州五中厦门一中高三联考 英语 全卷共12页，满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生务必将自己的考生号、姓名填写在试题卷、答题卡上。考生要认真核对答题卡上粘贴的条形码的“考生号、姓名”与考生本人考生号、姓名是否一致。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，如需改动，用橡皮擦擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，用黑色字迹签字笔在答题卡上作答。所有题目的答案均在答题卡相应位置上作答答在试卷上无效。 3．考试结束，考生必须将试题卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了风之洞穴实地研学旅行的活动亮点、收费标准以及相关出行须知。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A field trip to Cave of the Winds is more than just a day out of the classroom — it’s an unforgettable experience filled with hands‑on activities, science‑backed learning, and pure excitement.(风之洞穴的实地研学不只是离开教室的一日出游——这是一场包含实操活动、科学理论支撑的学习以及十足乐趣的难忘体验。)”可知，这次研学旨在让学习变得有趣且注重实践。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Prices板块表格中的“November-February(11月到2月)”，对应的学生票价是“$21.00(21美元)”，以及表格下方的注释“One teacher free with every 15 paid students.(每15名付费学生就可免一名教师的费用)”可知，16名学生付费，教师免费。总费用为16×21=336美元。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Guidelines部分中的“All participants must bring a headlamp, a pair of gloves, a change of clothes, and an extra pair of shoes. Please wear clothing you won’t mind getting dirty and possibly ruined by the mud.(所有参与者必须带头灯、一副手套、换洗衣物以及额外一双鞋子。请穿上你不介意被泥土弄脏甚至弄坏的衣物。)”可知，参与者要准备适合泥泞环境的衣物。 B In first grade, I took a spelling test with the word “of” on it. O-F. Of. Every student in the class spelled it correctly except Malcolm, who wrote “Uv.” I initially thought how stupid this kid was. But later it hit me that spelling “of” with a U and a V made more sense than with an O and an F, which had nothing to do with the sounds in the word “of.” Why was this ever-so-simple word spelled so illogically? The best answer I had was: That’s just the way it is. That’s what adults told me was the truth, and that’s how I had to spell the word to get it right on the test. So I’d better just keep quiet, look smart, and use an O and an F. I didn’t know it then, but this was my first brush with an understanding of what indoctrination was. We all embraced standards silently because they were backed by authority and custom. It was the rule, and the world would see Malcolm as stupid, and not the spelling. As I grew older, this memory helped me realize that the world has lots of strange rules and assumptions that we rarely question. As a teenager, I called them “uvisms,” spelled with a U and a V. For example, we are often told that success means good grades, yet many creative minds struggle in school but shine later in life. Such beliefs don’t always hold true. Growing up, I recognized the presence of these uvisms in the expectations placed on me by my surroundings. My parents, though well-meaning, handed down values that no longer fit my life. I doubted many, chose my own path and achieved great success — just as I chose to spell “of” with O and F to pass the test, but never stopped thinking about the U and the V. I have learned that many rules and traditions are there for good reasons, but many are not. You don’t have to follow all of them. I believe in the misspelling of the word “of,” and the necessity for each generation to rethink the assumptions of the previous generation. 4. What did the author think of “Uv”? A. It seemed odd but reasonable. B. It showed Malcolm’s talent. C. It helped to achieve good grades. D. It proved novel but controversial. 5. What does the underlined word “indoctrination” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Promoting creative projects. B. Teaching without questioning. C. Extending existing standards. D. Interacting without interrupting. 6. How did the author feel about the “uvisms”? A. Respectful. B. Astonished. C. Inspired. D. Critical. 7. What does the author’s experience show? A. Interest is the best teacher. B. Curiosity is the key to knowledge. C. Doubt is the beginning of wisdom. D. Creativity is the bridge to success. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者儿时目睹同学按发音拼写单词of却被判错，由此感悟社会存在诸多不经质疑的固有规则，倡导人们敢于质疑、重新审视前人的固有认知。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But later it hit me that spelling “of” with a U and a V made more sense than with an O and an F, which had nothing to do with the sounds in the word “of.” (但后来我意识到，用U和V拼写of比O和F更合乎逻辑，O和F和of这个单词的发音毫无关系)”可知，作者认为Uv这种拼法看着怪异，但从发音角度是说得通的。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“I didn’t know it then, but this was my first brush with an understanding of what indoctrination was. We all embraced standards silently because they were backed by authority and custom. It was the rule, and the world would see Malcolm as stupid, and not the spelling. (那时我并不知道，这却是我第一次开始理解____是什么。我们都默默接受既定标准，只因它们由权威与习俗背书。这就是既定规则，世人只会觉得Malcolm愚蠢，不会怀疑这套拼写本身)”可知，indoctrination指不加思辨、一味遵从权威灌输，也就是不加质疑地灌输教导。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“As I grew older, this memory helped me realize that the world has lots of strange rules and assumptions that we rarely question. (随着年龄增长，这段记忆让我意识到，世界上存在许多奇怪的规则和假设，而我们很少去质疑。)”以及“Such beliefs don’t always hold true. (这类观念并非永远成立)”以及第五段“I doubted many, chose my own path and achieved great success (我质疑许多固有观念，选择自己的道路并取得成功)”可知，作者对“uvisms”这类盲从的固有规则持批判态度。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“I doubted many, chose my own path and achieved great success — just as I chose to spell “of” with O and F to pass the test, but never stopped thinking about the U and the V. (我质疑许多固有观念，选择自己的道路并取得成功——就像我选择用O和F拼写“of”来通过考试一样，却从未停止思考U和V的存在。)”以及最后一段“I believe in the misspelling of the word “of,” and the necessity for each generation to rethink the assumptions of the previous generation. (我认可“of”一词的拼写错误，也认为每一代人都有必要重新审视前一代人的固有设想)”可知，全文核心是倡导敢于质疑，质疑开启智慧。 C Squid (鱿鱼) are widely regarded as one of the most intelligent groups of animals living in the ocean. Across roughly 375 species, squid can hunt cooperatively, recognize individual humans and learn from experience. However, according to an ongoing scientific study, ocean acidification (酸化), an often overlooked effect of human-caused climate change, could change this within decades. Researchers raised newly hatched squid in separate tanks-one reflecting present-day ocean CO₂, (pH 8.2) and the other representing CO₂ levels in the year 2100 based on a climate change prediction model (pH 7.8). After 90 days, the squid were removed and their heads were kept for analysis. Dr. Allen discovered that the brains of squid from the high-acid tank were 49% smaller in volume than the brains of squid raised under current CO₂ conditions. The most striking damage occurs in the squid’s optic lobes and optic tracts — brain regions responsible for handling visual information-which shrink (收缩) by over 50%. This brain damage directly leads to changes in behaviour. An earlier study found that squid exposed to high CO₂, hunt less often, and Dr. Allen links this to weaker vision. He believes the shrinking brain makes it harder for brain cells to pass signals correctly, which in turn affects their judgment and makes them more hesitant while hunting. The oceans take in nearly 30% of human-released CO₂ which has raised seawater acidity by about 30%, says the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). NOAA predicts ocean acidity could rise another 100%-150% by the end of this century if we keep releasing CO₂, at the current rate. If wild squid suffer the same brain damage, the impact could spread through the entire ocean food chain. Squid are not the only sea creatures at risk, but their sharp ability to learn makes their loss especially troubling. As our oceans grow more acidic, we may not only be changing what lives in the sea-but also how smart those creatures can be. 8. What did Dr. Allen’s research find about squid? A. Acidic water caused their brains to shrink. B. Present-day oceans sped up their growth. C. High CO₂ boosted their learning abilities. D. Climate change shortened their life span. 9. What causes squid to hunt less often? A. A lack of available food sources. B. A drop in overall physical strength. C. A decline in visual processing ability. D. A change in their living temperatures. 10. Why does the author mention the data from NOAA in paragraph 4? A. To predict what will happen to different sea creatures. B. To warn of the severity of ongoing ocean acidification. C. To prove human activities have caused global warming. D. To compare the CO₂ absorption rates of different periods. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Squid: A Smart Indicator of Ocean Acidification B. Climate Change: A Big Killer of Intelligent Squid C. The Food Chain Crisis: A Result of Human Actions D. Acidification: A Hidden Threat to Marine Intelligence 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了海洋酸化会导致鱿鱼大脑萎缩、智力下降，威胁海洋生物的学习能力与整个食物链。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Dr. Allen discovered that the brains of squid from the high-acid tank were 49% smaller in volume than the brains of squid raised under current CO₂ conditions.(Allen博士发现，来自高酸度水箱的鱿鱼大脑体积比在当前二氧化碳条件下饲养的鱿鱼大脑体积小49%)”可知，Allen博士的研究发现酸性海水导致鱿鱼大脑萎缩。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“An earlier study found that squid exposed to high CO₂ hunt less often, and Dr. Allen links this to weaker vision. He believes the shrinking brain makes it harder for brain cells to pass signals correctly, which in turn affects their judgment and makes them more hesitant while hunting.(较早的一项研究发现，暴露在高浓度二氧化碳下的鱿鱼捕食次数减少，Allen博士将此归因于较弱的视力。他认为大脑萎缩使脑细胞更难正确传递信号，进而影响它们的判断，使它们在捕食时更加犹豫)”可知，鱿鱼捕食次数减少的原因是视觉处理能力的下降。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The oceans take in nearly 30% of human-released CO₂ which has raised seawater acidity by about 30%, says the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). NOAA predicts ocean acidity could rise another 100%-150% by the end of this century if we keep releasing CO₂, at the current rate.(美国国家海洋和大气管理局表示，海洋吸收了近30%的人类释放的二氧化碳，这使海水酸度提高了约30%。美国国家海洋和大气管理局预测，如果我们继续以目前的速度释放二氧化碳，到本世纪末，海洋酸度可能会再上升100%-150%)”可知，作者引用NOAA的数据是为了说明海洋酸化的严重程度，警告人们这一问题的严峻性。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“However, according to an ongoing scientific study, ocean acidification, an often overlooked effect of human-caused climate change, could change this within decades.(然而，根据一项正在进行的研究，海洋酸化——这一人为气候变化常被忽视的影响——可能在几十年内改变这一点)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍海洋酸化对鱿鱼智力的影响，并指出这可能威胁整个海洋生态系统，因此D项“酸化：对海洋智力的隐性威胁”最适合用作本文标题。 D Visit an antique shop and you may find photographs, letters, or old brochures from decades ago. These objects were never designed to last forever, yet many have survived. Their physical form gives them a chance to remain part of the historical record. This raises an important question: will today’s digital information survive as successfully? For centuries, historians have relied on physical objects that endured even when their creators made no special effort to preserve them. A letter or photograph carries its information in the object itself. Digital information is different. It depends on devices, software, and file formats, all of which may become outdated. Saving a digital object, therefore, does not always mean saving the information inside it. Libraries and archives (档案馆) have long organized, preserved, and provided access to information. By digitizing physical collections, librarians allow researchers around the world to search materials quickly. Yet this success can make libraries seem less necessary. When people say that “everything is on a phone,” they often forget the careful work that made such access possible and the continuing effort required to maintain it. The danger becomes clear when we think about an old ZIP disk. The disk may still exist, but the files on it may be impossible to open because the necessary equipment or software has disappeared. Without regularly moving digital information into new formats, parts of the historical record may suddenly become unreadable. Future researchers could face a serious gap beginning when digital materials replaced physical ones. No complete solution to digital preservation yet exists. However, librarians and archivists are working to identify, organize, transfer, and protect digital materials. They also understand how researchers search for and use information. Their work cannot guarantee that every digital record will survive, but it can prevent the digital past from becoming inaccessible. Preserving digital history will remain difficult, yet professional care can ensure that future researchers find it challenging rather than impossible. In this sense, preservation is not an automatic process but a continuing responsibility. 12. What causes digital information to be at risk of loss? A. Its huge amount of data. B. Its high cost of daily maintenance. C. Its poor storage conditions. D. Its reliance on changing technology. 13. What misconception about libraries does the author point out? A. Digital access makes them unnecessary. B. They prefer to store physical materials. C. Researchers no longer need archives. D. Digitizing collections is very easy. 14. Why does the author mention the old ZIP disk? A. To introduce a popular storage device. B. To show the short lifespan of hardware. C. To prove the necessity of format updates. D. To compare different digital saving methods. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. Accessing databases is essential to researchers. B. Keeping digital historical records is a challenge. C. Hard work should be done to preserve artifacts. D. The contribution of libraries should be recognized. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了实体物件可长久留存历史信息，但数字信息依赖设备、软件与文件格式，容易失效；图书馆档案人员需持续维护，保存数字历史是一项长期的责任。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Digital information is different. It depends on devices, software, and file formats, all of which may become outdated. (数字信息不一样。它依赖设备、软件以及文件格式，而这些都有可能过时。)”可知，数字信息面临丢失风险是因为它依赖不断变化的技术。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Yet this success can make libraries seem less necessary. When people say that “everything is on a phone,” they often forget the careful work that made such access possible and the continuing effort required to maintain it. (然而这份成功会让图书馆显得不那么必要。当人们说“所有东西都在手机上”时，常常忘了实现这种访问背后繁杂的工作以及维持它所需持续付出的努力。)”可知，作者指出人们误以为数字化让图书馆不再必要，但实际上背后有大量工作。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The disk may still exist, but the files on it may be impossible to open because the necessary equipment or software has disappeared. Without regularly moving digital information into new formats, parts of the historical record may suddenly become unreadable. (磁盘或许还在，但磁盘里的文件可能无法打开，因为配套的设备或软件已经消失。如果不把数字信息定期转换为新格式，部分历史记录就会突然无法读取。)”可知，作者举老式ZIP磁盘例子，是为了证明更新文件格式十分必要。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Preserving digital history will remain difficult, yet professional care can ensure that future researchers find it challenging rather than impossible. In this sense, preservation is not an automatic process but a continuing responsibility. (保存数字历史依旧困难重重，但专业的维护可以让后世研究者虽面临难题却不至于完全无法获取资料。从这个意义上讲，保存并非自动完成，而是一份持续的责任。)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要说明保存数字历史记录是一项挑战。 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。 A hungry teen turns on his phone. A few taps later, he places an order. Within just a few moments, a meal arrives at his doorstep. With instant access to meals from a wide range of restaurants, food-delivery platforms offer unmatched convenience. ____16____ To begin with, the convenience of delivery often comes at the cost of connection. ____17____ For example, diners may place an order with a server. However, food delivery does not require any socialization. Workers simply drop off food, perhaps ring the doorbell, and leave. As a result, without the need for human contact, individuals may gradually isolate (孤立) themselves. ____18____ Dishes offered by restaurants often prioritize taste and appearance, frequently at the expense of nutrition. Compared to home-cooked meals, delivered food tends to be far less healthy. With food delivery services making these meals more accessible than ever, unhealthy options are now just a tap away. As delivery becomes more routine, so do poor eating habits. Furthermore, the environmental cost cannot be ignored. In fact, a 2021 report found that 44% of plastic waste discovered in the ocean came from takeout food and drink packaging. ____19____ The huge number of them used by these services also contributes significantly to carbon emissions and climate change. Though the rise of food delivery may be feeding our society’s hunger for convenience, it is ultimately starving our communities of connection, health, and sustainability. ____20____ Choosing home cooking or dining out more often will help us rebuild social bonds and live in a greener, healthier way. A. It greatly harms various sea creatures. B. Dining out involves basic human interaction. C. They bring more convenience to busy citizens. D. It is high time we reflected on our consumption habits. E. Health risks constitute another overlooked negative effect. F. But behind this smooth experience lie many unseen impacts. G. On top of that, the rise in delivery vehicles worsens the situation. 【答案】16. F 17. B 18. E 19. G 20. D 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述外卖虽十分便利，但会削弱人际交流、损害健康、破坏环境，我们应反思习惯，多居家做饭或堂食。 【16题详解】 由上文“With instant access to meals from a wide range of restaurants, food‑delivery platforms offer unmatched convenience.(可以即时订购众多餐馆的餐食，外卖平台带来了无与伦比的便利。)”可知，上文讲述外卖平台的便利，结合下文介绍点外卖的负面影响可知，空格处需要转折引出隐藏的负面影响，F项“But behind this smooth experience lie many unseen impacts.(但在这种顺畅体验的背后，存在许多看不见的影响。)”符合此处语境，其中“this smooth experience”指代上文外卖点餐的便捷体验，起到承上启下的作用。 【17题详解】 由后文“For example; diners may place an order with a server. However, food delivery does not require any socialization.(例如，就餐者可能会向服务员点餐。然而外卖不需要任何社交互动。)”可知，后文对比外卖缺少社交，空格处要说明堂食会有人际交往，B项“Dining out involves basic human interaction.(外出就餐包含基本的人际交流。)”符合此处语境，其中“Dining out”和后文“food delivery”形成对比。 【18题详解】 由后文“Compared to home‑cooked meals, delivered food tends to be far less healthy.(和家常菜相比，外卖食品往往要不健康得多。)”可知，整段围绕外卖带来的健康问题展开，空格处为本段主题句引出健康方面的弊端，E项“Health risks constitute another overlooked negative effect.(健康风险是另一项被忽视的负面影响。)”符合此处语境，总领本段内容。 【19题详解】 由上文“In fact, a 2021 report found that 44% of plastic waste discovered in the ocean came from takeout food and drink packaging.(事实上，一份2021年报告发现海洋里44%的塑料垃圾来自外卖餐饮包装。)”以及后文“The huge number of them used by these services also contributes significantly to carbon emissions and climate change.(外卖服务所使用的大量运输车辆也极大加剧碳排放与气候变化。)”可知，空格处继续补充外卖带来的环境问题，G项“On top of that, the rise in delivery vehicles worsens the situation.(除此之外，外卖车辆的增多让情况进一步恶化。)”符合此处语境，“On top of that”承接上文塑料垃圾问题，递进引出车辆带来的环境影响。 【20题详解】 由上文“Though the rise of food delivery may be feeding our society’s hunger for convenience, it is ultimately starving our communities of connection, health, and sustainability.(尽管外卖的兴起满足了社会对便利的渴求，但它最终让我们的社会失去人际联结、健康与可持续性。)”以及后文“Choosing home cooking or dining out more often will help us rebuild social bonds and live in a greener, healthier way.(多选择在家做饭或者外出就餐，将帮助我们重建社会纽带，以更环保、更健康的方式生活。)”可知，上文点明外卖的种种弊端，后文给出具体做法，空格处要呼吁反思消费习惯，D项“It is high time we reflected on our consumption habits.(是时候反思我们的消费习惯了。)”符合此处语境，起到过渡作用，引出下文建议。 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。 I grew up in a small town and thought I would never put down roots in the countryside.

The town was famous for its seasonal craft (手工艺) market, which attracted thousands of visitors every summer. Years ago, Bala had arrived here with nothing. Through years of hard work, he eventually saved enough money to buy a few small workshop units. Last spring, Bala rented one of his workshops to David a young woodcarver, who was polite, passionate, and willing to work long hours. During the summer, his beautiful wooden souvenirs sold very well. Encouraged by his early success, David wanted to take his small business to the next level. He used most of his money to buy a large amount of high-quality wood and planned to spend the slow months carving bigger sculptures so that he could sell them when the peak season returned. Soon, freshly cut logs filled almost every corner of his room. However, bad weather hit unexpectedly. An early snowstorm blocked the mountain roads, keeping all tourists away. The lively town suddenly turned quiet and deserted. With no customers coming in, David soon ran out of money. Worse still, he could not even afford his daily meals, let alone the monthly rent. As the rent due date arrived, he felt hopeless. Late one cold evening, Bala came to collect the overdue rent. He pushed open the door and was surprised to find the room dark and freezing. David was sitting on the floor beside his wooden logs, wrapped in a thin coat, with a packed bag by his side. Shaking with cold, David explained to Bala that he had spent all his money on the wood and was left with no income, adding that the next day he would have to sell his carving tools to a pawnshop (当铺) to pay part of his rent before leaving. Looking at the young man’s desperate eyes and rough hands, Bala froze. The scene instantly reminded him of his own past — a poor, terrified boy who had once stood alone in a cold city, hopelessly wishing for a helping hand. 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。 Determined not to let the young man suffer the same pain, Bala stepped forward. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As spring returned to town, David watched eagerly by the window for tourists. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Determined not to let the young man suffer the same pain, Bala stepped forward. He gently placed a warm blanket around David’s shoulders and said, “Keep your tools and your wood. I won’t take a single cent from you this winter.” Instead of demanding the rent, Bala offered David free accommodation and even brought him hot meals daily. Deeply moved, David promised to carve a masterpiece for Bala as thanks. With a safe place to sleep and food to eat, David threw himself into his work, spending the long winter carving the fine logs into stunning sculptures. As spring returned to town, David watched eagerly by the window for tourists. When the first visitors finally arrived, his beautiful carvings immediately caught their eyes. Every piece sold quickly, bringing him far more income than expected. David proudly paid Bala not only the overdue rent but also extra as a token of gratitude. Bala smiled, knowing he had helped a young artist survive. The mountain town blossomed again with the craft market, and David’s woodcarving business thrived, a living proof of how a little kindness can change a life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了小镇房东Bala在收租时看到年轻木雕师David因暴雪失去收入、即将变卖工具离开，联想到自己曾经的苦难，于是决定免除租金并提供帮助，最终David在春天凭借作品获得成功并回报善意的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Bala如何安慰David，主动免除租金并提供食宿，David深受感动并承诺雕刻杰作作为回报，随后整个冬天他全心投入创作。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写春天游客到来后David的作品大受欢迎，他不仅还清了租金还额外表达感激，Bala感到欣慰，小镇复兴，证明善意的力量。 2. 续写线索： Bala回忆往事——决定帮助David——提供免费住宿和食物——David承诺并雕刻——春天游客到来——作品热销并回报——小镇复兴与感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①给某人裹上毯子：place a warm blanket around sb./wrap sb. with a blanket ②全身心投入：throw oneself into/devote oneself to/be absorbed in 情绪类 ①自豪地：proudly/with pride/in a proud manner ②感激：gratitude/appreciation/thankfulness 【点睛】【高分句型1】When the first visitors finally arrived, his beautiful carvings immediately caught their eyes.（运用了when引导了时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】The mountain town blossomed again with the craft market, and David’s woodcarving business thrived, a living proof of how a little kindness can change a life.（运用了how引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
