For Alyssa Rae Tootle, the owner and creative mind behind A.R.T Photography, her passion for capturing life’s rawest, most unfiltered (未加滤镜的) moments was planted early and bloomed naturally into the career for which she was meant. Born and raised in Statesboro, Alyssa’s love for photography started at home. Her mother was rarely seen without a camera in hand. At just 12, Alyssa was gifted her first camera. Her world shifted, suddenly everything became an adventure worth documenting. As she grew older, her natural curiosity and love for people were woven into her art. Photography became the perfect marriage between her adventurous spirit and her gift of making others feel seen, and what once was a passion project gradually turned into something much bigger: a career rooted in storytelling and service. The name A.R.T Photography is more than just her initials; it’s her philosophy. Every session is a chance to add artistic skills into real life, to capture a brief moment and turn it into something timeless. Alyssa describes her style in three words: raw, real moments. She leans into spontaneity (自发行为) and encourages her customers to do the same, promising to create an atmosphere where they can be their truest selves. Still, no journey is without challenges. For Alyssa, the hardest part of becoming a photographer wasn’t the art itself but combining artistic work with business demands. “There are days when you just have to weigh the pros and cons of a situation and go with the flow,” she said. Looking ahead, Alyssa has an ambition: building A.R.T Photography into a more established and trusted local brand in Statesboro and beyond. But more than anything, she wants her work to continue to inspire others to slow down and notice the small beauty in their own lives, passions and paths — those hidden treasures that are so often overlooked. 4. What first inspired Alyssa’s interest in photography? A. A camera as a gift. B. A family outing. C. A perfect marriage. D. A chance encounter. 5. Which of the following best reflects Alyssa’s philosophy? A. Art mirrors culture. B. Form matters more. C. Plan for big moments. D. Find beauty in ordinary life. 6. What was Alyssa’s main challenge? A. Winning local trust. B. Balancing art and business. C. Creating a new brand. D. Perfecting her artistic skills. 7. Which of the following best describes Alyssa? A. Curious and patient. B. Creative and ambitious. C. Honest and practical. D. Adventurous and independent. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了摄影师Alyssa Rae Tootle从小萌生摄影爱好，逐步创立A.R.T Photography摄影工作室，介绍了她的摄影理念、从业遇到的困难以及未来的发展愿景。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“At just 12, Alyssa was gifted her first camera. Her world shifted, suddenly everything became an adventure worth documenting.(在12岁时，Alyssa收到了她的第一台相机作为礼物。她的世界发生了改变，突然间一切都成了值得记录的奇遇)”可知，一台作为礼物的相机激发了她对摄影的兴趣。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Every session is a chance to add artistic skills into real life, to capture a brief moment and turn it into something timeless.(每一次拍摄都是把艺术技巧融入现实生活的机会，捕捉短暂瞬间，将它变为永恒)”以及最后一段“But more than anything, she wants her work to continue to inspire others to slow down and notice the small beauty in their own lives, passions and paths — those hidden treasures that are so often overlooked. (但最重要的是，她希望自己的工作能继续激励他人放慢脚步，去发现生活中、热爱的事物以及人生道路上那些微小而美好的瞬间——那些常常被忽视的珍贵宝藏)”可知，她的理念是在平凡生活中发现美好。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“For Alyssa, the hardest part of becoming a photographer wasn’t the art itself but combining artistic work with business demands.(对Alyssa来说，成为一名摄影师最困难的部分并非艺术本身，而是将艺术创作与商业需求相结合)”可知，她的主要挑战是平衡艺术与商业。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“For Alyssa Rae Tootle, the owner and creative mind behind A.R.T Photography, her passion for capturing life’s rawest, most unfiltered (未加滤镜的) moments was planted early and bloomed naturally into the career for which she was meant.(对A.R.T摄影的创始人兼创意灵魂Alyssa Rae Tootle而言，她从小便萌生了捕捉生活中最真实、最未经雕琢瞬间的热情，并自然而然地发展成了她命中注定的职业)”和最后一段“Looking ahead, Alyssa has an ambition: building A.R.T Photography into a more established and trusted local brand in Statesboro and beyond.(展望未来，Alyssa怀有远大目标：将A.R.T摄影发展成为在斯托茨伯勒及更广泛地区内一个更加稳固且值得信赖的本地品牌)”可推知，Alyssa富有创造力且胸怀抱负。 C An interesting cultural phenomenon occurs every summer when Europeans and Americans visit each other’s continents. Europeans complain that shops and restaurants in America are so coldly air-conditioned as to require a jacket. Americans holidaying in Europe grow impatient on finding that European old-world buildings cause them to sweat. The divide is rooted in both climate and culture. Long before American companies began using cooling chemicals for air-conditioning, Southern Europe was built to handle heat. In traditional houses, white paint and shaded courtyards keep things cool. Windows are thrown open and rooms aired in the mornings. Shutters keep out the midday sun. Northern Europe, meanwhile, is mostly spared the problem by its cold weather thanks to geographical advantages. These days, as global warming is putting Europe to test, some Europeans who celebrate green lifestyles still feel pangs of carbon guilt about equipping their houses with air-conditioning. Actually, they needn’t. The rapid expansion of renewable energy in Europe means that lowering the temperature will not do much to melt the glaciers. In Spain, solar capacity has grown nearly ten times in the past decade, so it causes fewer carbon emissions to generate power. Portugal and France do just as well, thanks to dozens of nuclear reactors. Apart from climate morality, many Europeans also worry about the costs, but there is good news on that front as well. Their homes are smaller than American ones, which helps them save two thirds as much electricity on average. Moreover, the solar energy boom means that power is not just greener but cheaper than before. And some governments even offer funding to make old houses energy-efficient. As the world warms, Europe is heating up faster than any other region. Those who prefer to tough out the summer are free to do so. However, as Dr. Elena Rossi, a climate researcher, points out: “Cooling should no longer be a luxury but a basic necessity.” Therefore, the ultimate goal should be to make cheap, clean air-conditioning for everyone. 8. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By criticizing energy waste. B. By describing a tourist trend. C. By presenting a cultural conflict. D. By analyzing different personalities. 9. What contributes to the cooling of houses in Southern Europe? A. Adjusted lighting system. B. Modern cooling technology. C. Unique geographical advantages. D. Traditional architectural wisdom. 10. Which of the following is an example of “climate morality”? A. Using renewable energy to lower electricity bills. B. Refusing air-conditioning to cut carbon emissions. C. Upgrading old houses to gain government funding. D. Expanding power capacity to promote cozy lifestyles. 11. What do Dr. Elena Rossi’s words mean? A. Traditional cooling methods are outdated. B. Affordable air-conditioning should be accessible. C. The public should avoid using air-conditioners. D. People can choose to endure the summer heat. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍欧美对待空调的文化差异，分析背后原因，提出空调应当成为大众可获得的基础生活必需品。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“An interesting cultural phenomenon occurs every summer when Europeans and Americans visit each other’s continents. Europeans complain that shops and restaurants in America are so coldly air‑conditioned as to require a jacket. Americans holidaying in Europe grow impatient on finding that European old‑world buildings cause them to sweat.(每年夏天都会发生一个有趣的文化现象：欧洲人和美国人互相到访对方的大洲。欧洲人抱怨美国商店和餐馆的空调冷得厉害，得穿上外套。在欧洲度假的美国人发现欧洲旧式建筑让他们满身大汗，于是变得不耐烦。)”可知，作者通过展示一种文化冲突引出本文话题。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Long before American companies began using cooling chemicals for air‑conditioning, Southern Europe was built to handle heat. In traditional houses, white paint and shaded courtyards keep things cool. Windows are thrown open and rooms aired in the mornings. Shutters keep out the midday sun.(早在美国公司开始将制冷化学物质用于空调设备之前，南欧的建筑就已设计用来应对酷暑。传统住宅依靠白色涂料和背阴庭院维持凉爽。早晨窗户全部敞开，房间通风换气。百叶窗隔绝正午的阳光。)”可知，南欧房屋依靠传统建筑智慧实现降温。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“These days, as global warming is putting Europe to test, some Europeans who celebrate green lifestyles still feel pangs of carbon guilt about equipping their houses with air‑conditioning.(如今，随着全球变暖正在考验欧洲，一些崇尚绿色生活方式的欧洲人，在给自己住宅安装空调时，依然会心生强烈的碳排放负罪感。)”以及第四段开头“Apart from climate morality(除了气候道德之外)”可知，“气候道德”指出于减少碳排放而拒绝使用空调，因此，“拒绝空调以削减碳排放”符合语境。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“However, as Dr. Elena Rossi, a climate researcher, points out: “Cooling should no longer be a luxury but a basic necessity.” Therefore, the ultimate goal should be to make cheap, clean air‑conditioning for everyone.(然而，正如气候研究员埃琳娜・罗西博士所指出的：“降温不应再是一种奢侈品，而应成为一项基本必需品。”因此，最终目标应当是为所有人提供廉价、洁净的空调设备。)”可知，罗西博士话语的含义是大众都应该能用上负担得起的空调。 D In mid-February 2026, several Chinese humanoid robots (人形机器人) took center stage at the country’s annual Spring Festival Gala, widely considered the world’s most-watched television program. The show featured robots from multiple startups performing synchronized (同步的) kung fu moves, dances, and gymnastics routines. The performance contrasted sharply with the 2025 gala, when earlier humanoid models appeared less capable and performed an unsteady folk dance. Within a year, however, improvements in motion control, balance and coordination have led many observers to reassess the technology’s progress. “People should absolutely be taking these robots seriously,” said Reyk Knuhtsen, an analyst at SemiAnalysis. “They’re becoming visibly smoother and more capable.” “At the early stage of humanoid robot development, Chinese companies are outpacing their U.S. rivals in both speed and volume,” said Selina Xu, a China and AI policy lead at the office of Eric Schmidt. “China has a more robust hardware supply chain — much of it built up through the EV sector, from sensors to batteries — and the world’s strongest manufacturing base, allowing companies to iterate (迭代) far faster than Western competitors.” In 2025, Chinese companies shipped most of the roughly 13,000 humanoid robots delivered worldwide, far outstripping U.S. rivals such as Tesla and Figure AI, according to research firm Omdia. China also accounted for more than 85% of the approximately 15,000 humanoid robot installations globally in 2025, compared with about 13% in the U.S., according to data from Barclays. Despite the technological progress showcased at the gala, analysts said significant technical problems remain before humanoid robots can operate widely in real-world environments. Knuhtsen said that the next phase will focus less on flashy demonstrations and more on the robots’ ability to reason better, work longer, and combine multiple actions to complete real-world chores. 12. Why is the 2025 gala mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. To show the role of TV programs in promoting robotics. B. To stress the rapid progress of China’s humanoid robotics. C. To present the challenges of developing humanoid robots. D. To reveal the growing popularity of China’s humanoid robots. 13. What do Selina Xu’s words in Paragraph 3 show? A. China’s advantages in developing humanoid robots. B. The necessity of China-U.S. cooperation in robotics. C. Fierce global competition in the humanoid robot market. D. The importance of software supply in advancing AI robots. 14. What does the underlined word “outstripping” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Matching. B. Approaching. C. Surpassing. D. Equaling. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. AI Industry: Global Fierce Race. B. Home-use Robots: A Distant Dream. C. Chinese Gala Stage: Robots’ Shining Moment. D. Chinese Humanoids: Advances and Challenges. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了中国在2026年春晚展示了人形机器人的显著技术进步，并通过与2025年春晚的机器人表演情况对比，展现了中国在硬件供应链等多方面的优势，同时指出尽管进步明显，人形机器人仍面临实际应用中的技术挑战。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The performance contrasted sharply with the 2025 gala, when earlier humanoid models appeared less capable and performed an unsteady folk dance. Within a year, however, improvements in motion control, balance and coordination have led many observers to reassess the technology’s progress. (这场表演与2025年春晚形成了鲜明对比，当时更早的人形机器人型号能力较弱，表演了一段不稳定的民族舞。然而，在一年之内，运动控制、平衡和协调能力的提升已使许多观察者重新评估该技术的进展。)”可知，作者通过对比2025年春晚机器人能力较弱的表现，来说明2026年机器人的显著进步，从而强调中国在人形机器人领域的快速发展。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“China has a more robust hardware supply chain — much of it built up through the EV sector, from sensors to batteries — and the world’s strongest manufacturing base, allowing companies to iterate (迭代) far faster than Western competitors. (中国拥有更强大的硬件供应链——其中很大一部分是通过电动汽车行业发展起来的，从传感器到电池——以及全球最强大的制造基地，这使得中国公司能够比西方竞争对手更快地迭代。)”可知，中国拥有更强大的硬件供应链和全球最强大的制造业基础，这使中国公司能够比西方竞争对手更快地迭代。这直接表明了中国在开发人形机器人方面的优势。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在的句子“In 2025, Chinese companies shipped most of the roughly 13,000 humanoid robots delivered worldwide, far  outstripping  U.S. rivals such as Tesla and Figure AI, according to research firm Omdia.(根据研究公司Omdia的数据，2025年，在全球交付的大约13,000台人形机器人中，中国公司出货了大部分，远远outstripping了美国竞争对手，如特斯拉和Figure AI。)”可知，中国公司出货了大部分机器人，而美国竞争对手如特斯拉和Figure AI出货量较少。且根据本段第二句“China also accounted for more than 85% of the approximately 15,000 humanoid robot installations globally in 2025, compared with about 13% in the U.S., according to data from Barclays. (根据巴克莱银行的数据，2025年，中国在全球约15,000台人形机器人安装量中占比超过85%，而美国仅占约13%。)”可知，中国的机器人安装量远超美国，因此“outstripping”应为“超过、超越”之意。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段介绍2026年春晚机器人表演，第二段通过与2025年对比强调技术进步，第三段分析中国在硬件供应链和制造业方面的优势，第四段通过数据展示中国的出货量和安装量领先，第五段指出尽管技术进步显著，但机器人在实际应用中仍面临重大技术挑战。综合全文，文章既展示了中国在机器人领域的进步，也指出了面临的挑战。选项D“Chinese Humanoids: Advances and Challenges (中国的人形机器人：进步与挑战)”准确概括了全文主旨，适合作为文章标题。 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。 Do you ever feel like you’re always busy, yet you aren’t sure that you’re actually getting things done? Or have you reached full capacity, but still feel like you should be doing more? You could be stuck in a productivity trap. ____16____ Here are three productivity traps you may be stuck in and how to address them. ·You’re switching between tasks. Multitasking may feel productive, but it splits your attention and slows you down. ____17____ These are the tasks you will commit to focusing on first. This small reset restores direction and keeps you from jumping between tasks. ·____18____ When your days are filled with constant output, your brain doesn’t have the space it needs to generate new ideas. Without time for inspiration, motivation and creativity can quickly dry up. So schedule intentional time for activities that leave you feeling energised. This could mean reading, going for a walk, or spending time on hobbies you love. ·You never feel “done”. Your to-do list feels like it’s growing faster than you can tick things off. ____19____ Over time, this “never-finished” feeling risks leading you closer to burnout. Instead of focusing on what’s left to do, keep a “done” list to track your progress. It can give you something to look back on when you are feeling overloaded. Real productivity isn’t a race to get more and more tasks done. ____20____ When you manage to break free from the productivity trap and start working with your brain instead of against it, you can create the space to achieve more of what truly matters. A. You’d better schedule time to rest. B. You’re lacking motivation or creativity. C. The more I do, the longer my to-do list grows. D. It’s about balancing focus, energy, and intention. E. Take a moment to set a simple three-item priority list. F. And even when you do get things done, it doesn’t feel like enough. G. It is the feeling of being endlessly busy, while real priorities remain untouched 【答案】16. G 17. E 18. B 19. F 20. D 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了常见的“生产力陷阱”及其应对方法。 【16题详解】 根据空格前的句子“You could be stuck in a productivity trap.(你可能陷入了一个生产力陷阱。)”可知，前文提出了“生产力陷阱”这一概念。结合空格后的句子“Here are three productivity traps you may be stuck in and how to address them.(以下是你可能陷入的三个生产力陷阱以及如何应对它们。)”可知，空格处应对“生产力陷阱”进行进一步解释或定义，起到承上启下的作用。G项“It is the feeling of being endlessly busy, while real priorities remain untouched.(这种感觉就是不停地忙碌，而真正的优先事项却始终没有得到处理。)”中的It指代前文的“productivity trap”，且“endlessly busy”呼应了前文的“always busy”，“real priorities remain untouched”则点明了陷阱的本质。 【17题详解】 根据空格前的句子“Multitasking may feel productive, but it splits your attention and slows you down.(多任务处理可能让人感觉高效，但它会分散你的注意力并拖慢你的速度。)”可知，前文指出了多任务处理的弊端。结合空格后的句子“These are the tasks you will commit to focusing on first.(这些是你将优先集中精力完成的任务。)”可知，空格处应提出一个具体的解决方法，且该方法会产出一个“任务列表”供后文的“These”指代。E项“Take a moment to set a simple three-item priority list.(花一点时间列一个简单的三项优先事项清单。)”提出了列清单的建议，且“priority list”与后文的“These are the tasks”完美衔接。 【18题详解】 根据空格后的句子“When your days are filled with constant output, your brain doesn’t have the space it needs to generate new ideas.(当你的日子被持续的输出填满时，你的大脑就没有空间来产生新的想法。)”以及“Without time for inspiration, motivation and creativity can quickly dry up.(如果没有时间汲取灵感，动力和创造力很快就会枯竭。)”可知，该段讨论的核心问题是缺乏灵感和创造力。空格处作为小标题，应概括本段的主旨。B项“You’re lacking motivation or creativity.(你缺乏动力或创造力。)”概括了本段内容，且与后文“motivation and creativity can quickly dry up”直接呼应，符合语境。 【19题详解】 根据空格前的句子“Your to-do list feels like it’s growing faster than you can tick things off.(你会感觉待办清单的增长速度比你划掉已完成事项的速度还要快。)”可知，前文描述了待办事项越积越多的焦虑感。结合空格后的句子“Over time, this “never-finished” feeling risks leading you closer to burnout.(久而久之，这种‘永远做不完’的感觉存在让你逐渐陷入倦怠的风险。)”可知，空格处应进一步描述这种“永远做不完”的心理感受。F项“And even when you do get things done, it doesn’t feel like enough.(即使你真的完成了事情，也感觉不够。)”中的“even when you do get things done”与“never-finished feeling”形成呼应，且“doesn’t feel like enough”加深了这种焦虑感。 【20题详解】 根据空格前的句子“Real productivity isn’t a race to get more and more tasks done.(真正的生产力不是一场完成越来越多任务的竞赛。)”可知，前文否定了“生产力就是做更多事”的错误观念。空格处应提出对“真正生产力”的正确定义。D项“It’s about balancing focus, energy, and intention.(它是关于平衡专注力、精力和意图。)”中的“It”指代“Real productivity”，且“balancing focus, energy, and intention”正是对真正生产力的定义。 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Burning desert sun beat down and sweat dropped down my brow.

I have accepted my new identity!”可知，作者在康复过程中主动重建生活、拓展新的人生方向、接受新身份，本质上是在主动塑造未来的自己。 第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The Zhongyuan Festival, also called the Ghost Festival, falls on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, ____36____ (regard) as a special occasion for Chinese people to show respect for deceased family members.

The misunderstanding started on my tenth birthday. I accidentally kicked my soccer ball into his rose bushes, crushing several of his most beautiful blooms. He rushed out of his house, shouting at me in anger I had never seen before. I was so hurt and embarrassed that I shouted back, calling him an unreasonable old man. From that day on, we exchanged no more than cold nods and uneasy silences. Over the years, that small moment grew into a wall. We avoided eye contact. We crossed the street to avoid walking past each other. My parents tried to smooth things over, but I refused. “He started it,” I would say. And so the distance between us became a habit — a cold, quiet routine of pretending the other didn’t exist. That belief was broken on a cold November evening six years later. My parents were away for the weekend, leaving me alone. Around 9 PM, while carrying a stack of books down the stairs, I missed a step and tumbled to the bottom. A sharp pain shot through my ankle, so intense that I screamed. I tried to stand, but my leg wouldn’t hold me. I dragged myself to the living room, only to find my phone dead on the sofa. No charger nearby. I shouted for help, but the wind outside swallowed my voice. Fifteen minutes passed. Twenty. Panic began to creep in. I thought about how foolish I had been to push everyone away. Then came a soft knock at the door. “Hello? Are you okay? I heard someone shouting.” It was Mr. Miller. The man I had avoided for six years. The man whose rose bushes I had crushed. The man I had called unreasonable. 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。 I hesitated, then told him I had fallen and couldn’t move. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Mr. Miller showed up at my house to check how I was feeling. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 I hesitated, then told him I had fallen and couldn’t move. Without another word, he opened the unlocked door and rushed to my side. He knelt down, examined my ankle gently, and helped me onto the sofa. “You should have called me earlier,” he said softly, handing me his phone to reach my parents. Then he went back home and returned with an ice pack and a bowl of hot soup. Watching him move around my living room — fetching blankets, adjusting the ice pack — I felt a strange mix of shame and warmth. Shame for the years I had wasted on pride, and warmth for a kindness I never knew existed. The next day, Mr. Miller showed up at my house to check how I was feeling. In his hand lay a jar of fragrant rose jam made from his garden roses. Memories of the ruined roses flashed through my mind, and guilt overwhelmed me. I mumbled an apology for destroying his roses six years ago. To my surprise, he smiled, saying he had long forgiven my childish mistake. He sat beside me and we chatted casually, six years of cold nods melting away. It dawned on me that the invisible wall between us had crumbled entirely. This incident taught me that misunderstandings can be cleared with sincerity, and never should we let trivial conflicts build barriers in our life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者与邻居米勒先生之间因误会筑起的无形隔阂墙为线索展开，讲述了作者十岁时踢球弄坏米勒先生的玫瑰丛，二人发生争吵后六年互不往来；一次作者独自在家摔伤脚踝，米勒先生听到呼救主动上门施救，次日又带自制玫瑰果酱探望，作者为当年的过错主动道歉，二人冰释前嫌，作者最终领悟到真诚可化解误解、不应让小事成为人际隔阂的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写米勒先生进门查看作者的伤情，递手机让作者联系父母，又回家取来冰袋和热汤悉心照料，作者内心生出羞愧与温暖交织的复杂情绪。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写米勒先生带自制玫瑰果酱登门探望，作者回忆起当年毁坏玫瑰的往事，愧疚之下主动道歉，米勒先生表示早已原谅，二人轻松交谈，多年隔阂彻底消解，作者领悟到真诚化解矛盾的道理。 2.续写线索： 摔伤求助→米勒进门施救→悉心照料安抚→次日登门探望→道歉冰释前嫌→感悟相处之道 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①冲向：rush to/dash to ②检查：examine/inspect 情绪类 ①羞愧：shame/remorse ②内疚：guilt/compunction 【点睛】【高分句型1】“You should have called me earlier,” he said softly, handing me his phone to reach my parents.(运用了现在分词短语作伴随状语) 【高分句型2】It dawned on me that the invisible wall between us had crumbled entirely.(运用了it作形式主语、that引导的主语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 南充高中高2024级高三第一次月考 英语试卷 (考试时间：120分钟 满分150分) 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 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.

For Alyssa Rae Tootle, the owner and creative mind behind A.R.T Photography, her passion for capturing life’s rawest, most unfiltered (未加滤镜的) moments was planted early and bloomed naturally into the career for which she was meant. Born and raised in Statesboro, Alyssa’s love for photography started at home. Her mother was rarely seen without a camera in hand. At just 12, Alyssa was gifted her first camera. Her world shifted, suddenly everything became an adventure worth documenting. As she grew older, her natural curiosity and love for people were woven into her art. Photography became the perfect marriage between her adventurous spirit and her gift of making others feel seen, and what once was a passion project gradually turned into something much bigger: a career rooted in storytelling and service. The name A.R.T Photography is more than just her initials; it’s her philosophy. Every session is a chance to add artistic skills into real life, to capture a brief moment and turn it into something timeless. Alyssa describes her style in three words: raw, real moments. She leans into spontaneity (自发行为) and encourages her customers to do the same, promising to create an atmosphere where they can be their truest selves. Still, no journey is without challenges. For Alyssa, the hardest part of becoming a photographer wasn’t the art itself but combining artistic work with business demands. “There are days when you just have to weigh the pros and cons of a situation and go with the flow,” she said. Looking ahead, Alyssa has an ambition: building A.R.T Photography into a more established and trusted local brand in Statesboro and beyond. But more than anything, she wants her work to continue to inspire others to slow down and notice the small beauty in their own lives, passions and paths — those hidden treasures that are so often overlooked. 4. What first inspired Alyssa’s interest in photography? A. A camera as a gift. B. A family outing. C. A perfect marriage. D. A chance encounter. 5. Which of the following best reflects Alyssa’s philosophy? A. Art mirrors culture. B. Form matters more. C. Plan for big moments. D. Find beauty in ordinary life. 6. What was Alyssa’s main challenge? A. Winning local trust. B. Balancing art and business. C. Creating a new brand. D. Perfecting her artistic skills. 7. Which of the following best describes Alyssa? A. Curious and patient. B. Creative and ambitious. C. Honest and practical. D. Adventurous and independent. C An interesting cultural phenomenon occurs every summer when Europeans and Americans visit each other’s continents. Europeans complain that shops and restaurants in America are so coldly air-conditioned as to require a jacket. Americans holidaying in Europe grow impatient on finding that European old-world buildings cause them to sweat. The divide is rooted in both climate and culture. Long before American companies began using cooling chemicals for air-conditioning, Southern Europe was built to handle heat. In traditional houses, white paint and shaded courtyards keep things cool. Windows are thrown open and rooms aired in the mornings. Shutters keep out the midday sun. Northern Europe, meanwhile, is mostly spared the problem by its cold weather thanks to geographical advantages. These days, as global warming is putting Europe to test, some Europeans who celebrate green lifestyles still feel pangs of carbon guilt about equipping their houses with air-conditioning. Actually, they needn’t. The rapid expansion of renewable energy in Europe means that lowering the temperature will not do much to melt the glaciers. In Spain, solar capacity has grown nearly ten times in the past decade, so it causes fewer carbon emissions to generate power. Portugal and France do just as well, thanks to dozens of nuclear reactors. Apart from climate morality, many Europeans also worry about the costs, but there is good news on that front as well. Their homes are smaller than American ones, which helps them save two thirds as much electricity on average. Moreover, the solar energy boom means that power is not just greener but cheaper than before. And some governments even offer funding to make old houses energy-efficient. As the world warms, Europe is heating up faster than any other region. Those who prefer to tough out the summer are free to do so. However, as Dr. Elena Rossi, a climate researcher, points out: “Cooling should no longer be a luxury but a basic necessity.” Therefore, the ultimate goal should be to make cheap, clean air-conditioning for everyone. 8. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By criticizing energy waste. B. By describing a tourist trend. C. By presenting a cultural conflict. D. By analyzing different personalities. 9. What contributes to the cooling of houses in Southern Europe? A. Adjusted lighting system. B. Modern cooling technology. C. Unique geographical advantages. D. Traditional architectural wisdom. 10. Which of the following is an example of “climate morality”? A. Using renewable energy to lower electricity bills. B. Refusing air-conditioning to cut carbon emissions. C. Upgrading old houses to gain government funding. D. Expanding power capacity to promote cozy lifestyles. 11. What do Dr. Elena Rossi’s words mean? A. Traditional cooling methods are outdated. B. Affordable air-conditioning should be accessible. C. The public should avoid using air-conditioners. D. People can choose to endure the summer heat. D In mid-February 2026, several Chinese humanoid robots (人形机器人) took center stage at the country’s annual Spring Festival Gala, widely considered the world’s most-watched television program. The show featured robots from multiple startups performing synchronized (同步的) kung fu moves, dances, and gymnastics routines. The performance contrasted sharply with the 2025 gala, when earlier humanoid models appeared less capable and performed an unsteady folk dance. Within a year, however, improvements in motion control, balance and coordination have led many observers to reassess the technology’s progress. “People should absolutely be taking these robots seriously,” said Reyk Knuhtsen, an analyst at SemiAnalysis. “They’re becoming visibly smoother and more capable.” “At the early stage of humanoid robot development, Chinese companies are outpacing their U.S. rivals in both speed and volume,” said Selina Xu, a China and AI policy lead at the office of Eric Schmidt. “China has a more robust hardware supply chain — much of it built up through the EV sector, from sensors to batteries — and the world’s strongest manufacturing base, allowing companies to iterate (迭代) far faster than Western competitors.” In 2025, Chinese companies shipped most of the roughly 13,000 humanoid robots delivered worldwide, far outstripping U.S. rivals such as Tesla and Figure AI, according to research firm Omdia. China also accounted for more than 85% of the approximately 15,000 humanoid robot installations globally in 2025, compared with about 13% in the U.S., according to data from Barclays. Despite the technological progress showcased at the gala, analysts said significant technical problems remain before humanoid robots can operate widely in real-world environments. Knuhtsen said that the next phase will focus less on flashy demonstrations and more on the robots’ ability to reason better, work longer, and combine multiple actions to complete real-world chores. 12. Why is the 2025 gala mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. To show the role of TV programs in promoting robotics. B. To stress the rapid progress of China’s humanoid robotics. C. To present the challenges of developing humanoid robots. D. To reveal the growing popularity of China’s humanoid robots. 13. What do Selina Xu’s words in Paragraph 3 show? A. China’s advantages in developing humanoid robots. B. The necessity of China-U.S. cooperation in robotics. C. Fierce global competition in the humanoid robot market. D.

The misunderstanding started on my tenth birthday. I accidentally kicked my soccer ball into his rose bushes, crushing several of his most beautiful blooms. He rushed out of his house, shouting at me in anger I had never seen before. I was so hurt and embarrassed that I shouted back, calling him an unreasonable old man. From that day on, we exchanged no more than cold nods and uneasy silences. Over the years, that small moment grew into a wall. We avoided eye contact. We crossed the street to avoid walking past each other. My parents tried to smooth things over, but I refused. “He started it,” I would say. And so the distance between us became a habit — a cold, quiet routine of pretending the other didn’t exist. That belief was broken on a cold November evening six years later. My parents were away for the weekend, leaving me alone. Around 9 PM, while carrying a stack of books down the stairs, I missed a step and tumbled to the bottom. A sharp pain shot through my ankle, so intense that I screamed. I tried to stand, but my leg wouldn’t hold me. I dragged myself to the living room, only to find my phone dead on the sofa. No charger nearby. I shouted for help, but the wind outside swallowed my voice. Fifteen minutes passed. Twenty. Panic began to creep in. I thought about how foolish I had been to push everyone away. Then came a soft knock at the door. “Hello? Are you okay? I heard someone shouting.” It was Mr. Miller. The man I had avoided for six years. The man whose rose bushes I had crushed. The man I had called unreasonable. 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。 I hesitated, then told him I had fallen and couldn’t move. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Mr. Miller showed up at my house to check how I was feeling. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
