But the modern movement itself didn’t emerge until the late 1960s. Below are some artworks that help tell the story of Land Art as it has expanded and evolved since then. A Line Made By Walking One of the first examples of Land Art, A Line Made By Walking, was created by Richard Long in 1967 by walking the same path again and again in Wiltshire, United Kingdom. Since it was unable to be commercialized, it was applauded for having changed the definition of what art could be. Spiral (螺旋) Jetty Another noticeable piece of Land Art is undoubtedly Spiral Jetty, which was created by Robert Smithson in April of 1970. Using natural materials including rocks and earth, Smithson built a 457-meter-long spiral off the shore of the Great Salt Lake in Utah. The Lightning (闪电) Field The most unusual Land Art work of all is The Lightning Field created by Walter de Maria in 1977. She used unconventional materials to draw attention to the power of nature. The piece consisted of 400 steel poles arranged in a desert ringed by mountains in New Mexico to attract lightning during storms. Due to the unpredictability of nature, this display could take on many forms depending on the weather. Washington’s Crossing In 1969, Bill Beckley went to the location of George Washington’s famous crossing of the Delaware River during the Revolutionary War and repeated the action while pouring white paint behind him. This work built a sort of bridge between Land Art which tries to promote a more positive relationship between the audience and the earth and the so-called Narrative Art in which story is the top priority. 1. When was A Line Made By Walking created? A. In 1967. B. In 1969. C. In 1970. D. In 1977. 2. Which artwork should be appreciated during storms? A. Spiral Jetty. B. Washington’s Crossing. C. The Lightning Field. D. A Line Made By Walking. 3. What is special about the last piece? A. It focuses on preservation. B. It stresses story-telling. C. It can’t be sold to museums. D. It uses unusual materials. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了大地艺术的起源及现代大地艺术运动兴起后的几件代表性作品，包括创作时间、创作者、创作方式及作品特点。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据“A Line Made By Walking”部分中“One of the first examples of Land Art, A Line Made By Walking, was created by Richard Long in 1967 by walking the same path again and again in Wiltshire, United Kingdom. (大地艺术的早期范例之一 —— 《行走的轨迹》，是理Richard Long于1967年在英国威尔特郡通过反复行走同一条路径创作而成的。)”可知，《行走的线条》创作于1967年。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The Lightning (闪电) Field”部分中“The piece consisted of 400 steel poles arranged in a desert ringed by mountains in New Mexico to attract lightning during storms. Due to the unpredictability of nature, this display could take on many forms depending on the weather. (这件作品由400根钢杆组成，这些钢杆排列在新墨西哥州一片被山脉环绕的沙漠中，在风暴期间吸引闪电。由于大自然的不可预测性，这个装置会根据天气呈现出多种形态。)”可知，《闪电原野》通过400根钢杆吸引暴风雨中的闪电，需在暴风雨期间欣赏才能感受其艺术形式。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Washington’s Crossing”部分中“This work built a sort of bridge between Land Art which tries to promote a more positive relationship between the audience and the earth and the so-called Narrative Art in which story is the top priority. (这项工作在大地艺术和所谓的叙事艺术之间架起了一种桥梁。大地艺术致力于促进观众与地球之间更积极的关系，而叙事艺术则将故事置于首位。)”可知，《华盛顿横渡》的特别之处在于它连接了大地艺术与叙事艺术，而叙事艺术以“讲故事”为首要核心，即该作品强调叙事性。故选B项。 (共4小题，每小题2.5分，满分10分) When I shopped for a new car seven years ago, my focus was on style, size, and color. This time, I found I had to learn such new terms as range anxiety and one pedal driving because, for the first time, I was in the market for an electric vehicle(EV). When I asked the dealer how long the battery could last, he assured me that range anxiety was not a big problem now. “More than 50 EV models today go more than 500km per charge, with some topping 800. Plus, the number of public charging stations has doubled in the past five years. 64 percent of Americans live within two miles of one,” he explained. The dealer added that EVs also used their energy much more efficiently than gas cars, with some 90 percent of their power moving the car, compared to 25 percent for conventional vehicles. “The loss of energy in the form of heat is why you could fry eggs on the engine!” he said. “In addition, gas cars also have many more parts, making upkeep and repairs about 40 percent more costly per mile driven. With no oil to change, EVs also require little routine maintenance.” There was still a lot to learn. But when I got behind the wheel, I thought the dealer should have marketed drivability to me first. I was glad to find that I could put my foot on the brake (制动器) less frequently. Depending on the setting selected, the car could often be stopped without touching the brake. I was especially pleased that the ride was amazingly smooth and that the car could go from zero to 100km/h astonishingly fast! “That smooth ride is partially due to the battery on the bottom that allows the car to better hug the road,” the dealer explained. “And since the battery provides immediate power to the car, EVs speed up much faster.” 4. What was the dealer doing in paragraph 2? A. Explaining a new term to readers. B. Trying to reduce the author’s range anxiety. C. Introducing EV models to the author. D. Showing the latest developments in the US. 5. Why are gas cars less efficient than EVs? A. They run too fast, B. They have more functions. C. They are very heavy. D. They produce a lot of heat. 6. What did the author like most about EVs? A. The comfort and ease of use. B. Their environmental impact. C. The low costs of maintenance. D. Their much simpler structures. 7. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To persuade readers to buy EVs. B. To stress EVs’ advantages. C. To share his shopping experience. D. To compare two types of cars. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者在文中分享了他第一次购买电动汽车的经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When I asked the dealer how long the battery could last, he assured me that range anxiety was not a big problem now.(当我询问经销商电池的续航时间时，他向我保证，现在续航焦虑已经不那么严重了)”可知，经销商试图缓解作者的焦虑情绪。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The loss of energy in the form of heat is why you could fry eggs on the engine!(这种以热能形式散失的能量，就是为什么能在发动机上煎鸡蛋的原因！)”可知，传统汽车能效低的原因是大部分能量都转化成了热能。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“But when I got behind the wheel, I thought the dealer should have marketed drivability to me first. I was glad to find that I could put my foot on the brake (制动器) less frequently. Depending on the setting selected, the car could often be stopped without touching the brake. I was especially pleased that the ride was amazingly smooth and that the car could go from zero to 100km/h astonishingly fast!(但当我坐进驾驶座时，我觉得经销商本应该先向我介绍车辆的驾驶性能。我很高兴发现我几乎不用频繁踩刹车了。根据所选的设置，车辆通常无需踩刹车就能停住。我尤其感到惊喜的是，行驶起来异常平稳，而且车辆从零加速到100公里/小时的速度变化惊人地快！)”可知，最能打动作者的是电动汽车的舒适性和驾驶简单。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“This time, I found I had to learn such new terms as range anxiety and one pedal driving because, for the first time, I was in the market for an electric vehicle(EV).(这一次，我发现自己得去学习一些新的术语，比如“续航焦虑”和“单踏板驾驶”了，因为这是我第一次考虑购买电动汽车（EV）)”可知，作者写本文的目的是分享他购买电动汽车的经历。故选C。 (共4小题，每小题2.5分，满分10分) As the prices of electricity are rising rapidly in the US, residents wonder whether the air-conditioning (AC) should be turned off when they head to work during the day. Some say that turning off the AC when they’re gone for a few hours is the most energy-efficient, cost-saving method. Others swear it’s better to leave it running continuously. But experts say there are a lot of factors to consider when deciding which AC habit saves the most energy and money. “If you’re gone for 15 minutes, you don’t get any gain by turning off your AC,” said Elizabeth Hewitt, an urban planning expert. “But as a general rule, if you’re going for your workday, you’ll always save energy by turning it off.” In some climates, however, turning off the AC might not be a good choice. In wet climates like Florida, air inside the home can become even wetter when the AC is turned off. “Wet air is not only harder to cool, but may also cause damage to the furniture and electronics in the house,” Hewitt warned. “How much energy you can save also depends on the kind of home you live in,” Hewitt added. “If you live in homes built with heavy materials like bricks that hold in cool air longer, it makes sense to turn off the AC even if you’re stepping out for just a few hours.” Hewitt suggested that smart thermostats are a handy tool to remove the mental burden of adjusting the AC multiple times a day. They can raise the temperature when no one is home to conserve energy and lower it when people return. Gregor Henze, a professor at the University of Colorado Boulder, agreed, “According to the US Department of Energy, adjusting our thermostat by 4-6℃ for eight hours a day can save up to 10% a year on heating and cooling. Air conditioning for residential buildings in the US accounts for about 4-7% of the nation’s total energy consumption. That’s a lot.” 8. What can be inferred from the first paragraph? A. Air-conditioning costs rise rapidly in the US. B. Americans are concerned about AC pollution. C. People agree on how to use the AC efficiently. D. Experts have simple solutions to save energy. 9. Why is it a bad idea to turn off the AC frequently in summer in Florida? A. It is extremely hot in the state. B. The houses are built with bricks. C. The wet air will cause damage. D. It won’t affect energy consumption. 10. What might Elizabeth Hewitt suggest people do when they’re away for work? A. Set the temperature a few degrees lower. B. Turn off the AC if they leave for 15 minutes. C. Replace the building materials with better ones. D. Let the AC run at a relatively higher temperature. 11. What might be Gregor Henze’s attitude to smart thermostats? A. Skeptical. B. Approving. C. Critical. D. Unclear. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了各种空调使用习惯的优缺点。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第一段“As the prices of electricity are rising rapidly in the US, residents wonder whether the air-conditioning (AC) should be turned off when they head to work during the day.(随着美国电价迅速上涨，居民们在思考白天上班时是否应该关闭空调。)”可知，电价上涨会导致空调使用成本增加，由此可推断美国空调使用成本在上升。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第三段“In some climates, however, turning off the AC might not be a good choice. In wet climates like Florida, air inside the home can become even wetter when the AC is turned off. “Wet air is not only harder to cool, but may also cause damages to the furniture and electronics in the house,” Hewitt warned.(然而，在某些气候条件下，关闭空调可能不是一个好的选择。在佛罗里达州等潮湿的气候条件下，当空调关闭时，家里的空气会变得更加潮湿。休伊特警告说：“潮湿的空气不仅更难冷却，还可能对家里的家具和电子产品造成损坏。”。)”可知，佛罗里达夏天频繁关空调不好是因为潮湿空气会造成损害。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第五段“Hewitt suggested that smart thermostats are a handy tool to remove the mental burden of adjusting the AC multiple times a day. They can raise the temperature when no one is home to conserve energy and lower it when people return.(休伊特建议，智能恒温器是个实用工具，能减轻每天多次调节空调的精神负担。没人在家时，它可以调高温度以节能；人们回来时，再调低温度。)”可知，休伊特可能建议人们上班时让空调保持在相对较高的温度。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段休伊特提出智能恒温器的建议以及第六段Gregor Henze所说“According to the US Department of Energy, adjusting our thermostat by 4-6℃ for eight hours a day can save up to 10% a year on heating and cooling.(根据美国能源部的数据，每天将恒温器调节4-6℃8小时，每年可节省高达10%的供暖和制冷费用。)”可知，亨兹对智能恒温器持认可态度。故选B。 (共4小题，每小题2.5分，满分10分) Amit Lennon’s Artificial Intelligence Portrayal project compares real studio portraits (肖像) with AI-generated replacements, exposing unsettling questions about reality. Using Adobe Firefly, Lennon inputs basic facial measurements and brief self-descriptions to create digital copies. The AI results, while astonishingly similar, often erase imperfections, producing idealized versions with shiny hair and spotless skin. Lennon’s goal is to stimulate reflection on how AI constructs images and what prejudices shape its outputs. The project reveals AI’s tendency to strengthen social assumptions. A man of mixed background is given a bright red beard, while female subjects are smoothed into standardized beauty standards. “It beautifies people a lot,” Lennon notes, highlighting gender discrimination toward polished perfection. Some subjects, like student Lola Choo Antopolski, think their AI versions look cold and unnatural. It’s like a mix of their own features and what the computer guessed. The tool uses common images and social media styles, which makes the results look very similar and like they have an “Instagram filter (滤镜美化).” This takes away people’s unique qualities. AI is getting better very quickly, and it’s becoming hard for us to tell what’s real and what’s artificial. Tools can make super-realistic images and videos. This is causing a big problem with trust. Lennon says it feels like we’re being tricked, because it’s hard to tell if something was made by a person or a machine. The rise of AI sets off legal battles over intellectual property. Many AI tools learn from copyrighted materials taken without permission, which raises concerns about misuse. Niek Dunmur of the Association of Photographers warns AI risks pushing out human creators. Lennon adds that companies favor AI for its cost-free, copyright-free outputs, but portraiture’s uniqueness resists easy reproduction. While AI popularizes image creation, Lennon argues it lacks the intentionality of photography: “There is no camera.” His work invites debate about technology’s role in art—whether it enhances or weakens human expression. As AI develops, society must tackle its moral limits and figure out what importance we attach to things like being imperfect, being real, and the unique little details that come from a human point of view. 12. Why did Amit Lennon start the Artificial Intelligence Portrayal project? A. To show AI’s ability in portraits. B. To compare AI and traditional portraits. C. To promote Adobe Firefly. D. To reflect on AI’s image creation. 13. What is the main concern about AI-generated images in paragraph 2? A. They lose people’s unique qualities. B. They are too similar to each other. C. They are not realistic enough. D. They are too difficult to create. 14. What leads to the legal fights over AI? A. AI uses illegal copyrighted materials. B. AI tools are too expensive to develop. C. AI is not accurate enough in its outputs. D. AI is replacing human workers too quickly. 15. What does Amit Lennon think about the role of AI in art? A. It greatly enhances human expression. B. It lacks careful planning of photography. C. It completely replaces traditional art forms. D. It makes art more accessible to everyone. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了阿米特・伦农的人工智能肖像项目，探讨了AI生成肖像存在的问题、引发的法律争议以及AI在艺术领域存在的弊端与局限。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Lennon’s goal is to stimulate reflection on how AI constructs images and what prejudices shape its outputs.(Lennon的目标是激发人们对人工智能如何构建图像以及什么偏见塑造了其输出的思考。)”可知，Amit Lennon启动人工智能肖像项目是为了反思人工智能的图像创作。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The tool uses common images and social media styles, which makes the results look very similar and like they have an ‘Instagram filter (滤镜美化).’ This takes away people’s unique qualities.(该工具使用常见图像和社交媒体风格，这使得结果看起来非常相似，就像有‘Instagram滤镜美化’一样。这带走了人们独特的品质。)”可知，第二段中关于人工智能生成图像的主要担忧是它们失去了人们独特的品质。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The rise of AI sets off legal battles over intellectual property. Many AI tools learn from copyrighted materials taken without permission, which raises concerns about misuse.(人工智能的兴起引发了关于知识产权的法律斗争。许多人工智能工具从未经许可获取的受版权保护的材料中学习，这引发了人们对滥用的担忧。)”可知，导致人工智能法律斗争的原因是人工智能使用了非法的受版权保护的材料。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“While AI popularizes image creation, Lennon argues it lacks the intentionality of photography: ‘There is no camera.’(虽然人工智能使图像创作普及，但Lennon认为它缺乏摄影的意图性：“没有相机”)”可知，Amit Lennon认为人工智能在艺术中缺乏摄影的精心规划。 (共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) In a fast-paced modern world, stress builds up quickly. It doesn’t just affect your mood, but also harms your health. Here are the things you can do right now — and the science behind why they work. Take deep breaths. ____16____. Studies show that deep breaths can lower blood pressure and slow heart rate. It also reduces the stress hormone associated with a range of issues, including poor sleep and brain fog. Controlled breathing has even been linked to better emotional regulation and memory. Hug it out — or hold a hand. ____17____. Even a quick hug or a gentle touch can increase the release of a chemical that helps reduce stress and foster feelings of connection. In one study, couples who hugged for 20 seconds before a stressful task had lower heart rates and blood pressure than those who didn’t. ____18____. Research shows that self-touch — such as placing a hand over your chest, rubbing your arms, or gently touching your face — also works equally well. Take a 5-minute walk. This simple movement brings more blood flow and oxygen to the part of the brain responsible for focus, planning, and decision-making. At the same time, it activates the neural network in our brain that is strongly linked to daydreaming and creative insight. ____19____ Step outside for sunlight and fresh air. Just a few minutes in natural light can improve heart rate variability and boost mood. One review found that the most dramatic improvements in both mood and heart rate variability happen within the first two minutes outdoors. ____20____? Actually, any green space will do! A. No parks nearby B. Feeling very stressed C. Touch matters for human beings D. Deep breathing is a proven tool for clearer thinking E. But we don’t need another person to get similar benefits F. Few things affect the nerve system as immediately — or as powerfully — as deep breathing G. So short walks are really effective to reduce your stress when you are doing such activities 【答案】16. F 17. C 18. E 19. G 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一些缓解压力的方法以及这些方法背后的科学原理。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Take deep breaths. (做深呼吸)”以及下文“Studies show that deep breaths can lower blood pressure and slow heart rate. It also reduces the stress hormone associated with a range of issues, including poor sleep and brain fog. (研究表明，深呼吸可以降低血压，减慢心率。它还能减少与一系列问题相关的压力荷尔蒙，包括睡眠不良和脑雾。)”可知，本段主要介绍的是深呼吸对压力的影响，且下文提到了对神经系统的影响，F选项“Few things affect the nerve system as immediately — or as powerfully — as deep breathing (很少有事情能像深呼吸那样立即或强烈地影响神经系统)”点出深呼吸对神经系统的强效影响，“deep breathing”与上文标题及下文“deep breaths”直接呼应，为下文介绍深呼吸的具体益处做铺垫，逻辑连贯。故选F。 【17题详解】 根据下文“Even a quick hug or a gentle touch can increase the release of a chemical that helps reduce stress and foster feelings of connection. (即使是一个快速的拥抱或温柔的触摸也能增加一种化学物质的释放，这种化学物质有助于减轻压力，促进亲密感。)”可知，本段主要说明的是触摸对缓解压力的作用，C选项“Touch matters for human beings (触摸对人类很重要)”是对本段核心内容的概括，点明“肢体触碰”是缓解压力的关键，起到统领段落的作用。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据下文“Research shows that self-touch — such as placing a hand over your chest, rubbing your arms, or gently touching your face — also works equally well. (研究表明，自我触摸 —— 比如把手放在胸前、揉手臂或轻轻触摸脸部 —— 也同样有效。)”可知，下文提到了自我触摸， E选项“But we don’t need another person to get similar benefits (但我们不需要另一个人来获得类似的好处)”通过“but”转折，承接上文“与他人肢体触碰缓解压力”的内容，引出“自我触碰”这一替代方式，“similar benefits”对应下文“works equally well”，逻辑衔接自然。故选E。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Take a 5-minute walk. This simple movement brings more blood flow and oxygen to the part of the brain responsible for focus, planning, and decision-making. At the same time, it activates the neural network in our brain that is strongly linked to daydreaming and creative insight. (进行5分钟的散步。这个简单的动作会给大脑中负责注意力、计划和决策的部分带来更多的血液流动和氧气。与此同时，它激活了我们大脑中的中性网络，这个网络与白日梦和创造性洞察力密切相关。)”可知，本段主要说明的是散步对缓解压力的作用，G选项“So short walks are really effective to reduce your stress when you are doing such activities (所以当你做这些活动时，短距离散步对减轻压力真的很有效)”通过“so”总结上文，“short walks”对应上文“5-minute walk”，“really effective to reduce your stress”点明散步的核心作用，呼应段落主题。故选G。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Step outside for sunlight and fresh air. Just a few minutes in natural light can improve heart rate variability and boost mood. One review found that the most dramatic improvements in both mood and heart rate variability happen within the first two minutes outdoors. (到户外去晒晒太阳，呼吸新鲜空气。只需在自然光下待几分钟，就能改善心率变异性并提升情绪。一项综述发现，在户外的最初两分钟内，情绪和心率变异性的改善最为显著。)”以及下文“Actually, any green space will do! (事实上，任何绿地都可以!)”可知，本段主要说明的是到户外享受阳光和新鲜空气对缓解压力的作用，且下文提到了任何绿地都可以，说明本句是在询问没有公园怎么办，A选项“No parks nearby (附近没有公园)”以设问形式提出读者可能的顾虑，下文则回应“任何绿地都可行”，解答顾虑，使建议更具实用性，衔接紧密。故选A。 三、完形填空(共15小题,共15分) (共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) In Alaska, many villages have no roads connecting them with hospitals in the cities.

After the filming wrapped up, she summed up her takeaway: rural areas in China are full of unique beauty and irreplaceable value. 【答案】36. known 37. a 38. where 39. more personal 40. has evolved 41. participant 42. truly 43. at 44. to maintain 45. locals 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了尼日利亚留学生王倩参与节目拍摄，沉浸式体验中国乡村生活。来华十年，她已然成为中非文化交流的积极参与者，并感慨中国乡村发展兼顾传统，独具魅力与价值。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这位女士是来自尼日利亚的一名学生，在中国更广为人知的中文名字是王倩。此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰a Nigerian student，a Nigerian student和know为被动关系，所以为过去分词形式。 【37题详解】 考查冠词。句意：她正在参与《一位外国学徒来到山区》的拍摄，这是位于中国东部浙江省丽水市云和县的一档独特的节目，她在这里沉浸于中国乡村生活的节奏、技能和特色之中。根据句意可知，此处泛指“一个独特的节目”，“unique”发音以辅音音素 /juː/ 开头，因此用不定冠词 a。 【38题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：她正在参与《一位外国学徒来到山区》的拍摄，这是位于中国东部浙江省丽水市云和县的一档独特的节目，她在这里沉浸于中国乡村生活的节奏、技能和特色之中。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是“Zhejiang province”（地点），关系词在从句中作地点状语，故用关系副词where引导。 【39题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：起初只是一次拍摄任务，如今却变得更具个人色彩。“far”修饰形容词比较级，“personal”是多音节形容词，比较级形式为“more personal”，表示 “变得更加私人化”，符合语境。 【40题详解】 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：在过去的十年里，Ugochinyere从一个她自己所描述的对文化的好奇探索者，转变为积极参与中非文化交流的活跃参与者。时间状语“During her past 10 years in China”是现在完成时的标志，主语“Ugochinyere”是第三人称单数，所以为“has evolved”。 【41题详解】 考查名词。句意：在过去的十年里，Ugochinyere从一个她自己所描述的对文化的好奇探索者，转变为积极参与中非文化交流的活跃参与者。前面有形容词“active”和不定冠词 “an”，需要填入名词形式。“participate”的名词是“participant”，意为“参与者”。 【42题详解】 考查副词。句意：这次经历让我真切地感受到了生活的美好。修饰动词“enjoying”，需要用副词形式。“true”的副词是“truly”，意为“真切地”。 【43题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：最让她印象深刻的是，在像云和这样的地方，以及后来在金华的武义，发展并非以牺牲记忆为代价。此处为固定搭配“at the expense of”，意为“以……为代价”，此处表示“发展并没有以牺牲记忆为代价”。 【44题详解】 考查动词不定式。句意：她所遇到的那些古老的房屋、传统的建筑和留存下来的手工艺品，并非要被抛弃的遗迹，而是村庄保持自身特色的途径。此处为固定结构“a way for sb. to do sth.”，意为“某人做某事的方式”，所以为动词不定式“to maintain”。 【45题详解】 考查名词复数形式。句意：给她留下同样深刻印象的还有那些返乡创业、致力于振兴家乡产业的年轻当地人。“local”作名词时意为“当地人”，此处指“返乡创业的年轻人们”，表示复数概念，所以为“locals”。 五、应用文写作(共1小题,共15分) 66.(15分) 46. 你校英文报正在开展“AI-assisted Teaching in School”为题的讨论。请使用图表中的调查结果写一篇短文投稿，内容包括： 1. 图表内容描述; 2. 你的观点。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Recently, our school conducted a survey on “AI-assisted Teaching in School”. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Recently, our school conducted a survey on “AI-assisted Teaching in School”.

Outside of my classroom I fearfully opened the envelope that held my academic report card. “Please, I just want to pass.” I prayed in my heart. “Promoted to fifth grade,” the report read. I was letting out a loud sigh of relief when my eyes went to the words on the bottom. “Teacher: Mrs. Walitt.” “What?” I looked closer, certain I’d misread, but now the name seemed to jump off the page in 3D. This wasn’t possible. Mrs. Walitt taught first grade. My one comfort about school was that this woman-literally my least favorite teacher on the planet-would never teach me. I was no favorite of hers either. I was self-conscious about my stutter (口吃), and tried to make up for it by speaking and reading out loud. That past year I’d been frequently pulled from my regular class for special tutoring in a room shared with Mrs. Walitt’s first graders. One day early on, Mrs. Walitt called me out from across the room. “Quiet down,” she said. “You’re interrupting us.” I instantly responded. “Oh, just leave me alone!” I said. “You’d better be glad you’re not in my class, young man. I’d put you in your place.” I’d been taught by my parents to respect my teachers. But all my frustration came pouring out of me. I said, “You will never be my teacher.” No matter how badly I did in school, I was sure I wouldn’t have to repeat first grade. For the rest of the year, Mrs. Walitt and I didn’t have much communication. Now Mrs. Walitt was having the last laugh. On the first day of fifth grade, I sat unhappy in the last row. “Welcome to fifth grade,” she announced once we were settled. “I expect students to come to school ready to learn...” She went on and on, talking about the orders. I felt quite bored. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 But the moment she began teaching, an entirely different Mrs. Walitt appeared. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With Mrs. Walitt’s constant encouragement, my grades improved beyond belief. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 But the moment she began teaching, an entirely different Mrs. Walitt appeared. I had to admit she could be funny and engaging. Through her vivid descriptions, the boring knowledge came to life. I hung on Mrs. Walitt’s words so much that at one point, I forgot myself and shot up my hand. Instead of feeling bothered, she was interested in what I said. Mrs. Walitt always had the power to keep us on the edge of our seats. Gradually, I got used to participating in her class with her praise and encouragement. To my amazement, I was stuttering less and less. With Mrs. Walitt’s constant encouragement, my grades improved beyond belief. For the first time in my life, I was bringing home A’s. Mrs. Walitt moved me from the lower reading and writing level to the advanced. I beamed with pride and worked even harder. More than that, Mrs. Walitt made me feel like I could accomplish anything with enough focus. Fifth grade had been my favorite year of school ever. On the last day, I opened my report card. “Promoted to the sixth grade,” I read. “Advanced class.” And I knew I owed it all to Mrs. Walitt. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了四年级最后一天，作者得知五年级老师是最不喜欢的沃尔蒂夫人，她曾教一年级，作者因口吃和她有过冲突。但五年级时，她教学风趣，鼓励作者参与课堂，让作者口吃减轻、成绩大幅提升，还进入高级班。作者深知这都归功于她。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“但当她开始授课时，一个完全不同的沃尔蒂夫人出现了。”可知，第一段可描写沃尔蒂夫人的课吸引了作者，作者开始专注上课，口吃也减轻了。 ②由第二段首句内容“在沃尔蒂夫人不断鼓励下，我的成绩突飞猛进，简直超乎想象。”可知，第二段可描写作者成绩大幅提升，还进入高级班，作者深知这都归功于沃尔蒂夫人。 2.续写线索：沃尔蒂夫人上课——作者被吸引——专心听课——口吃减轻——成绩提升——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①实现：accomplish/achieve ②参加：participate in/take part in ③习惯于：get used to/get accustomed to 情绪类 ①惊讶：amazement/surprise ②烦恼：bothered/annoyed 【点睛】[高分句型1] Instead of feeling bothered, she was interested in what I said.（运用了what引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] I hung on Mrs. Walitt’s words so much that at one point, I forgot myself and shot up my hand.（运用了结果状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年下学期高三开学考试 英语 一、听力(共20小题,共30分) 1.What are the speakers mainly talking about?

But the modern movement itself didn’t emerge until the late 1960s. Below are some artworks that help tell the story of Land Art as it has expanded and evolved since then. A Line Made By Walking One of the first examples of Land Art, A Line Made By Walking, was created by Richard Long in 1967 by walking the same path again and again in Wiltshire, United Kingdom. Since it was unable to be commercialized, it was applauded for having changed the definition of what art could be. Spiral (螺旋) Jetty Another noticeable piece of Land Art is undoubtedly Spiral Jetty, which was created by Robert Smithson in April of 1970. Using natural materials including rocks and earth, Smithson built a 457-meter-long spiral off the shore of the Great Salt Lake in Utah. The Lightning (闪电) Field The most unusual Land Art work of all is The Lightning Field created by Walter de Maria in 1977. She used unconventional materials to draw attention to the power of nature. The piece consisted of 400 steel poles arranged in a desert ringed by mountains in New Mexico to attract lightning during storms. Due to the unpredictability of nature, this display could take on many forms depending on the weather. Washington’s Crossing In 1969, Bill Beckley went to the location of George Washington’s famous crossing of the Delaware River during the Revolutionary War and repeated the action while pouring white paint behind him. This work built a sort of bridge between Land Art which tries to promote a more positive relationship between the audience and the earth and the so-called Narrative Art in which story is the top priority. 1. When was A Line Made By Walking created? A. In 1967. B. In 1969. C. In 1970. D. In 1977. 2. Which artwork should be appreciated during storms? A. Spiral Jetty. B. Washington’s Crossing. C. The Lightning Field. D. A Line Made By Walking. 3. What is special about the last piece? A. It focuses on preservation. B. It stresses story-telling. C. It can’t be sold to museums. D. It uses unusual materials. (共4小题，每小题2.5分，满分10分) When I shopped for a new car seven years ago, my focus was on style, size, and color. This time, I found I had to learn such new terms as range anxiety and one pedal driving because, for the first time, I was in the market for an electric vehicle(EV). When I asked the dealer how long the battery could last, he assured me that range anxiety was not a big problem now. “More than 50 EV models today go more than 500km per charge, with some topping 800. Plus, the number of public charging stations has doubled in the past five years. 64 percent of Americans live within two miles of one,” he explained. The dealer added that EVs also used their energy much more efficiently than gas cars, with some 90 percent of their power moving the car, compared to 25 percent for conventional vehicles. “The loss of energy in the form of heat is why you could fry eggs on the engine!” he said. “In addition, gas cars also have many more parts, making upkeep and repairs about 40 percent more costly per mile driven. With no oil to change, EVs also require little routine maintenance.” There was still a lot to learn. But when I got behind the wheel, I thought the dealer should have marketed drivability to me first. I was glad to find that I could put my foot on the brake (制动器) less frequently. Depending on the setting selected, the car could often be stopped without touching the brake. I was especially pleased that the ride was amazingly smooth and that the car could go from zero to 100km/h astonishingly fast! “That smooth ride is partially due to the battery on the bottom that allows the car to better hug the road,” the dealer explained. “And since the battery provides immediate power to the car, EVs speed up much faster.” 4. What was the dealer doing in paragraph 2? A. Explaining a new term to readers. B. Trying to reduce the author’s range anxiety. C. Introducing EV models to the author. D. Showing the latest developments in the US. 5. Why are gas cars less efficient than EVs? A. They run too fast, B. They have more functions. C. They are very heavy. D. They produce a lot of heat. 6. What did the author like most about EVs? A. The comfort and ease of use. B. Their environmental impact. C. The low costs of maintenance. D. Their much simpler structures. 7. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To persuade readers to buy EVs. B. To stress EVs’ advantages. C. To share his shopping experience. D. To compare two types of cars. (共4小题，每小题2.5分，满分10分) As the prices of electricity are rising rapidly in the US, residents wonder whether the air-conditioning (AC) should be turned off when they head to work during the day. Some say that turning off the AC when they’re gone for a few hours is the most energy-efficient, cost-saving method. Others swear it’s better to leave it running continuously. But experts say there are a lot of factors to consider when deciding which AC habit saves the most energy and money. “If you’re gone for 15 minutes, you don’t get any gain by turning off your AC,” said Elizabeth Hewitt, an urban planning expert. “But as a general rule, if you’re going for your workday, you’ll always save energy by turning it off.” In some climates, however, turning off the AC might not be a good choice. In wet climates like Florida, air inside the home can become even wetter when the AC is turned off. “Wet air is not only harder to cool, but may also cause damage to the furniture and electronics in the house,” Hewitt warned. “How much energy you can save also depends on the kind of home you live in,” Hewitt added. “If you live in homes built with heavy materials like bricks that hold in cool air longer, it makes sense to turn off the AC even if you’re stepping out for just a few hours.” Hewitt suggested that smart thermostats are a handy tool to remove the mental burden of adjusting the AC multiple times a day. They can raise the temperature when no one is home to conserve energy and lower it when people return. Gregor Henze, a professor at the University of Colorado Boulder, agreed, “According to the US Department of Energy, adjusting our thermostat by 4-6℃ for eight hours a day can save up to 10% a year on heating and cooling. Air conditioning for residential buildings in the US accounts for about 4-7% of the nation’s total energy consumption. That’s a lot.” 8. What can be inferred from the first paragraph? A. Air-conditioning costs rise rapidly in the US. B. Americans are concerned about AC pollution. C. People agree on how to use the AC efficiently. D. Experts have simple solutions to save energy. 9. Why is it a bad idea to turn off the AC frequently in summer in Florida? A. It is extremely hot in the state. B. The houses are built with bricks. C. The wet air will cause damage. D. It won’t affect energy consumption. 10. What might Elizabeth Hewitt suggest people do when they’re away for work? A. Set the temperature a few degrees lower. B. Turn off the AC if they leave for 15 minutes. C. Replace the building materials with better ones. D. Let the AC run at a relatively higher temperature. 11. What might be Gregor Henze’s attitude to smart thermostats? A. Skeptical. B. Approving. C. Critical. D. Unclear. (共4小题，每小题2.5分，满分10分) Amit Lennon’s Artificial Intelligence Portrayal project compares real studio portraits (肖像) with AI-generated replacements, exposing unsettling questions about reality. Using Adobe Firefly, Lennon inputs basic facial measurements and brief self-descriptions to create digital copies. The AI results, while astonishingly similar, often erase imperfections, producing idealized versions with shiny hair and spotless skin. Lennon’s goal is to stimulate reflection on how AI constructs images and what prejudices shape its outputs. The project reveals AI’s tendency to strengthen social assumptions. A man of mixed background is given a bright red beard, while female subjects are smoothed into standardized beauty standards. “It beautifies people a lot,” Lennon notes, highlighting gender discrimination toward polished perfection. Some subjects, like student Lola Choo Antopolski, think their AI versions look cold and unnatural. It’s like a mix of their own features and what the computer guessed. The tool uses common images and social media styles, which makes the results look very similar and like they have an “Instagram filter (滤镜美化).” This takes away people’s unique qualities. AI is getting better very quickly, and it’s becoming hard for us to tell what’s real and what’s artificial. Tools can make super-realistic images and videos. This is causing a big problem with trust. Lennon says it feels like we’re being tricked, because it’s hard to tell if something was made by a person or a machine. The rise of AI sets off legal battles over intellectual property. Many AI tools learn from copyrighted materials taken without permission, which raises concerns about misuse. Niek Dunmur of the Association of Photographers warns AI risks pushing out human creators. Lennon adds that companies favor AI for its cost-free, copyright-free outputs, but portraiture’s uniqueness resists easy reproduction. While AI popularizes image creation, Lennon argues it lacks the intentionality of photography: “There is no camera.” His work invites debate about technology’s role in art—whether it enhances or weakens human expression. As AI develops, society must tackle its moral limits and figure out what importance we attach to things like being imperfect, being real, and the unique little details that come from a human point of view. 12. Why did Amit Lennon start the Artificial Intelligence Portrayal project? A. To show AI’s ability in portraits. B. To compare AI and traditional portraits. C. To promote Adobe Firefly. D. To reflect on AI’s image creation. 13. What is the main concern about AI-generated images in paragraph 2? A. They lose people’s unique qualities. B. They are too similar to each other. C. They are not realistic enough. D. They are too difficult to create. 14. What leads to the legal fights over AI? A. AI uses illegal copyrighted materials. B. AI tools are too expensive to develop. C. AI is not accurate enough in its outputs. D. AI is replacing human workers too quickly. 15. What does Amit Lennon think about the role of AI in art? A. It greatly enhances human expression. B. It lacks careful planning of photography. C. It completely replaces traditional art forms. D. It makes art more accessible to everyone.

Here are the things you can do right now — and the science behind why they work. Take deep breaths. ____16____. Studies show that deep breaths can lower blood pressure and slow heart rate. It also reduces the stress hormone associated with a range of issues, including poor sleep and brain fog. Controlled breathing has even been linked to better emotional regulation and memory. Hug it out — or hold a hand. ____17____. Even a quick hug or a gentle touch can increase the release of a chemical that helps reduce stress and foster feelings of connection. In one study, couples who hugged for 20 seconds before a stressful task had lower heart rates and blood pressure than those who didn’t. ____18____. Research shows that self-touch — such as placing a hand over your chest, rubbing your arms, or gently touching your face — also works equally well. Take a 5-minute walk. This simple movement brings more blood flow and oxygen to the part of the brain responsible for focus, planning, and decision-making. At the same time, it activates the neural network in our brain that is strongly linked to daydreaming and creative insight. ____19____ Step outside for sunlight and fresh air. Just a few minutes in natural light can improve heart rate variability and boost mood. One review found that the most dramatic improvements in both mood and heart rate variability happen within the first two minutes outdoors. ____20____? Actually, any green space will do! A. No parks nearby B. Feeling very stressed C. Touch matters for human beings D. Deep breathing is a proven tool for clearer thinking E. But we don’t need another person to get similar benefits F. Few things affect the nerve system as immediately — or as powerfully — as deep breathing G. So short walks are really effective to reduce your stress when you are doing such activities 三、完形填空(共15小题,共15分) (共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) In Alaska, many villages have no roads connecting them with hospitals in the cities.

Outside of my classroom I fearfully opened the envelope that held my academic report card. “Please, I just want to pass.” I prayed in my heart. “Promoted to fifth grade,” the report read. I was letting out a loud sigh of relief when my eyes went to the words on the bottom. “Teacher: Mrs. Walitt.” “What?” I looked closer, certain I’d misread, but now the name seemed to jump off the page in 3D. This wasn’t possible. Mrs. Walitt taught first grade. My one comfort about school was that this woman-literally my least favorite teacher on the planet-would never teach me. I was no favorite of hers either. I was self-conscious about my stutter (口吃), and tried to make up for it by speaking and reading out loud. That past year I’d been frequently pulled from my regular class for special tutoring in a room shared with Mrs. Walitt’s first graders. One day early on, Mrs. Walitt called me out from across the room. “Quiet down,” she said. “You’re interrupting us.” I instantly responded. “Oh, just leave me alone!” I said. “You’d better be glad you’re not in my class, young man. I’d put you in your place.” I’d been taught by my parents to respect my teachers. But all my frustration came pouring out of me. I said, “You will never be my teacher.” No matter how badly I did in school, I was sure I wouldn’t have to repeat first grade. For the rest of the year, Mrs. Walitt and I didn’t have much communication. Now Mrs. Walitt was having the last laugh. On the first day of fifth grade, I sat unhappy in the last row. “Welcome to fifth grade,” she announced once we were settled. “I expect students to come to school ready to learn...” She went on and on, talking about the orders. I felt quite bored. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 But the moment she began teaching, an entirely different Mrs. Walitt appeared. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With Mrs. Walitt’s constant encouragement, my grades improved beyond belief. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
