More than just places to buy books, they are community centers and educational playgrounds. Barnes & Noble (Union Square, NY) America’s largest bookstore company has reinvented itself. Covering 62,000 square feet across several floors, this Manhattan store includes carefully chosen books, vinyl (黑胶) records, and children’s sections. It now feels more personal, with local book selections and a comfortable café. Regular author events draw large crowds, proving that big stores can still feel warm and welcoming. Powell’s City of Books (Portland, OR) This Portland landmark sits on a full city block with an area of over 68,000 square feet. Its brightly colored rooms guide visitors through more than one million new, used, and rare (罕见的) books. The store now puts author readings online and sells books through the Internet. This combination (结合) of physical presence and online activity keeps Powell’s at the heart of American bookselling. The Last Bookstore (Los Angeles, CA) Housed in a former bank building, this 22,000-square-foot space features artistic book showcases, and a room of rare books. The store offers workshops, live music, and art shows, mixing arts with literature. This creative approach makes it both a tourist destination and a community gathering place. Book People (Austin, TX) The largest independent bookstore in Texas serves as Austin’s literary center. At 25,000 square feet, it builds strong community ties through excellent book choices. The store hosts a yearly literary festival and works closely with local writers, making it important to the city’s creative life. 1. What makes Barnes & Noble feel more personal? A.

How does Powell’s City of Books keep its leading position in American bookselling? A. By organizing workshops. B. By cooperating with writers. C. By covering a full city block. D. By selling both online and offline. 3. Which bookstore mixes art showcases with its books? A. Barnes & Noble. B. Book People. C. The Last Bookstore. D. Powell’s City of Books. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. C 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了四家特色书店。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“Barnes & Noble”部分中的“It now feels more personal, with local book selections and a comfortable café.( 它现在感觉更具个性化，提供本地书籍选择和舒适的咖啡馆。)”可知，提供本地书籍和咖啡馆使其显得更具个人特色。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“Powell’s City of Books”部分中的“This combination of physical presence and online activity keeps Powell’s at the heart of American bookselling.( 实体店和线上活动的结合使Powell’s保持在美国图书销售的核心地位。)”可知，通过线上和线下同时销售的模式保持了其领先地位。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“The Last Bookstore”部分中的“Housed in a former bank building, this 22,000-square-foot space features artistic book showcases, and a room of rare books. The store offers workshops, live music, and art shows, mixing arts with literature.( 这座书店坐落于一座旧银行大楼内，占地面积达2.2万平方英尺，设有艺术主题的图书展示区以及珍本图书陈列室。该书店举办各类工作坊、现场音乐和艺术展览，将艺术与文学融为一体。)”可知，The Last Bookstore将艺术展示与书籍完美融合在了一起。 B Commencement (毕业典礼) season has arrived again — and this year, many keynote speakers have discovered that it’s tough to get graduating students excited about a future shaped by artificial intelligence (AI). Last weekend, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt faced repeated boos (倒彩) during his speech to about 10,000 University of Arizona graduates on the great changes brought about by AI. A similar response met Scott Borchetta, the CEO of Big Machine Records, when he spoke to the graduating class of Middle Tennessee State University about how AI is helping the music industry. “At the beginning we were excited about it,” said Kareen Gill, a graduate of University of Arizona with a political science degree. “But now, we don’t want it messing with the jobs that we’ve worked for years — so hard for four years — to be qualified for.” “One immediate impact I have noticed is fewer entry level positions because AI is replacing many of those jobs,” said Sami Wargo, who just graduated from Middle Tennessee State University. “I have applied for around 30 jobs but haven’t landed one yet. That sucks.” Not everyone has been met with verbal pushback to AI, though. When CleanHarbors founder Alan McKim spoke at the Northeastern University commencement, he appealed to the graduates to accept AI, but warned, “Your character will matter more than your code (代码).” No boos were heard in the audience. As Dave Lee wrote in Bloomberg, “For any commencement speaker in 2026, no conversation about the future could be credible without mentioning AI. But in front of today’s graduates, striking the right tone is hard. They know the world of work they are entering has never been more uncertain. Anxiety runs high.” 4. What message can we get from the first two paragraphs? A. The keynote speeches were boring. B. Many graduates felt threatened by AI. C. AI has become an unavoidable topic. D. Some graduating students were rude. 5. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Graduation. B. Speech. C. AI. D. Music industry. 6. Which is closest in meaning to “That sucks” in paragraph 4? A. It is fair enough. B. It is untrue. C. It is very bad. D. It is funny. 7. What is Dave Lee’s advice? A. Focus on AI’s harm. B. Persuade graduates to accept AI. C. Avoid mentioning AI. D. Be mindful of graduates’ worry. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要报道了2026年毕业季中，多位演讲嘉宾因谈论AI而遭遇毕业生负面反应的现象。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Commencement (毕业典礼) season has arrived again — and this year, many keynote speakers have discovered that it’s tough to get graduating students excited about a future shaped by artificial intelligence (AI). (毕业典礼季节再次来临——今年，许多主讲人发现，要让毕业生对一个由人工智能塑造的未来感到兴奋，实在不容易)”和第二段“Last weekend, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt faced repeated boos (倒彩) during his speech to about 10,000 University of Arizona graduates on the great changes brought about by AI.(上周末，前谷歌首席执行官埃里克·施密特在亚利桑那大学向约1万名毕业生发表关于人工智能带来的巨大变革的演讲时，多次遭到嘘声)”可知，当演讲者提及一个由人工智能塑造的未来时，许多毕业生倒彩，说明他们感受到AI带来的威胁。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Last weekend, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt faced repeated boos (倒彩) during his speech to about 10,000 University of Arizona graduates on the great changes brought about by AI. A similar response met Scott Borchetta, the CEO of Big Machine Records, when he spoke to the graduating class of Middle Tennessee State University about how AI is helping the music industry.(上周末，前谷歌首席执行官埃里克·施密特在亚利桑那大学向约1万名毕业生发表关于人工智能带来的巨大变革的演讲时，多次遭到嘘声。类似的情景也出现在大机器唱片公司首席执行官斯科特·博切塔身上，他在中田纳西州立大学的毕业典礼上谈论人工智能如何助力音乐产业时，同样遭到了学生们的嘘声)”和第三段中大学毕业生Kareen Gill的话“At the beginning we were excited about it (一开始我们对它感到兴奋)”可推知，指示代词it指代的是前文提到的AI。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“I have applied for around 30 jobs but haven’t landed one yet. (我已经申请了大约30份工作，但还没有找到一份。That sucks.)”可知，Sami Wargo投了很多简历，都没有找到工作，处境很糟糕，因此“That sucks”意为“这非常糟糕”，与“It is very bad.”同义。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Dave Lee的话“For any commencement speaker in 2026, no conversation about the future could be credible without mentioning AI. But in front of today’s graduates, striking the right tone is hard. They know the world of work they are entering has never been more uncertain. Anxiety runs high. (对于2026年的任何毕业典礼演讲者来说，不谈人工智能，关于未来的谈话都缺乏可信度。但在当今的毕业生面前，把握好分寸却很难。他们知道自己即将进入的工作世界比以往任何时候都更加不确定。焦虑情绪高涨)”可知，Dave Lee建议演讲者应注意毕业生的担忧。 C Do you love seeing beautiful lanterns outside? The best time to do this is during the Lantern Festival, which falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month. This year it is on Feb. 22, marking the end of Spring Festival celebrations. Lanterns are a big part of the festival. One story says that the bright lanterns show respect for gods. Another says that people light lanterns to celebrate the declining darkness of winter. Watching lanterns is a great event. You see lanterns in any sizes and shapes you can imagine, from animals to plants and flowers. To make this activity more fun, people paste (粘贴) riddles (谜语) on the lanterns. “Ten plus ten, still is ten, ten minus ten, again is ten.” Guess what? It is a pair of gloves. In some places, people like releasing sky lanterns, which are called Kongming lanterns. A sky lantern is a small hot air balloon made of paper, with an opening at the bottom, where there is a small fire source. When the bright lights fly high in the sky, people bless family members and make wishes. Releasing river lights is also a way to bless for each other. Usually, the lights are in the shape of a lotus. In old times, the Lantern Festival was also romantic. At that time, young girls were not allowed to go out very often except during certain festivals. Therefore, looking at lanterns gave young people a chance to meet each other. A line from Xin Qiji, a poet during the Song Dynasty, shows this: “Anxiously, I searched for her in thousands, hundreds of ways. Suddenly I turned, and there she was in the declining light.” 8. Why do people light lanterns during the Lantern Festival? A. To paste riddles on lanterns for fun. B. To release sky lanterns and make wishes. C. To give young people a chance to meet each other. D. To show respect for gods and celebrate the end of winter’s darkness. 9. Which of the following statements about the Lantern Festival is TRUE? A. People make wishes when releasing lights. B. People light lanterns to drive animals away. C. People paste riddles to show off their knowledge. D. Young girls were not allowed to go out on the day. 10. What does the underlined word in the last paragraph most likely mean? A. growing. B. fading. C. brightening. D. steady. 11. What would be the best title for the text? A. A day to Guess Lantern Riddles. B. The Origin of the Lantern Festival. C. Celebrations of the Lantern Festival. D. River Lights on the Lantern Festival. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了元宵节的庆祝形式。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Lanterns are a big part of the festival. One story says that the bright lanterns show respect for gods. Another says that people light lanterns to celebrate the declining darkness of winter.(灯笼是节庆中非常重要的一部分。有一种说法认为，明亮的灯笼是对神灵的敬意；另一种说法则认为，人们点亮灯笼是为了庆祝冬季逐渐消逝的黑暗)”可知，人们用花灯来庆祝元宵节这一传统节日的目的是为了表达对神灵的敬意，并庆祝冬日黑暗的结束。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“When the bright lights fly high in the sky, people bless family members and make wishes.(当明亮的灯光在天空中高高飞起时，人们为家人祈福并许下心愿)”可知，人们放灯时会许愿。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Anxiously, I searched for her in thousands, hundreds of ways. Suddenly I turned, and there she was in the(众里寻他千百度，蓦然回首，那人却在……)”可知，这句话是诗歌：众里寻他千百度，蓦然回首，那人却在灯火阑珊处。故猜测declining light指渐渐暗淡的灯火，表示“变暗、褪去”，与fading同义。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Lanterns are a big part of the festival. (灯笼是节庆中非常重要的一部分)”，第三段“ In some places, people like releasing sky lanterns, which are called Kongming lanterns.(在一些地方，人们喜欢放天灯，它们被称作孔明灯)”以及最后一段“In old times, the Lantern Festival was also romantic. (在过去，元宵节也是浪漫的)”可知，文章主要介绍了元宵节的庆祝形式。C选项“元宵节的庆祝活动”为最佳标题。 D Exciting news from the University of Waterloo! A team of devoted researchers, led by PhD student Wei Wei, has made a remarkable discovery that holds the potential to change plastic waste into acetic acid (醋酸), using the power of sunlight. Dr. Yimin Wu, a professor at the university, shared their inspiring vision, saying, “Our goal was to solve the plastic pollution challenge by changing microplastic waste into high-value products using sunlight.” This mission is especially significant as plastic waste, particularly microplastics, has spread across ecosystems worldwide, raising serious concerns about its impact on both wildlife and human health. With global plastic recycling rates still falling behind, this research team has stepped up to the challenge. They have developed a bio-inspired photocatalysis (光催化) method using special iron atoms (铁原子). This technology copies how certain fungi (真菌) break down organic matter, showing the creativity of nature. When placed under sunlight, the material drives a series of chemical reactions that change plastic into acetic acid with high selectivity. The reaction takes place in water, which is particularly important for addressing plastic pollution in waters. The study shows that this method can effectively produce acetic acid from common plastics and it works well even with mixed plastic types. This adaptability makes the approach a promising replacement to traditional plastic burning, supporting eco-friendly use of materials and offering a fresh strategy for upcycling. Roy Brouwer, coauthor of the research, stresses the benefits of this innovation, noting, “In terms of business and society, the financial and economic benefits related to this innovation seem promising.” The research findings also open up exciting new ways for directly addressing microplastics. By breaking down plastics at the chemical level, this process could play an important role in preventing the build-up of microplastics in our water systems. While still at the laboratory stage, the team expects that this approach could be adapted for large-scale, broader environmental cleanup and the photocatalytic upcycling system can be further improved. 12. What led the research team to start their study originally? A. Rising recycling rates of plastic. B. Business profits from acetic acid. C. Discovery of sunlight’s chemical power. D. Plastic pollution’s widespread harm. 13. What can we learn about the photocatalysis method? A. It can be applied to various plastics. B. It can completely remove microplastics. C. It breaks down plastics faster than burning. D. It needs high temperatures to support reactions. 14. What does the team expect of their research findings? A. Helping reduce chemical use. B. Coming into use immediately. C. Being used on a larger scale. D. Opening up a market for acetic acid. 15. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A guidebook to waste treatment. B. A scientific research report. C. A brochure on acetic acid production. D. A review on the plastic industry. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了滑铁卢大学的研究团队研发出一种利用阳光将塑料废料转化为醋酸的光催化技术，介绍该技术原理、优势、经济前景以及未来规模化应用的期待。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Dr. Yimin Wu, a professor at the university, shared their inspiring vision, saying, ‘Our goal was to solve the plastic pollution challenge by changing microplastic waste into high-value products using sunlight.’ This mission is especially significant as plastic waste, particularly microplastics, has spread across ecosystems worldwide, raising serious concerns about its impact on both wildlife and human health.(该校教授吴益民博士分享了他们振奋人心的构想，他表示：‘我们的目标是利用阳光将微塑料垃圾转化为高价值产品，解决塑料污染难题。’这项研究任务意义格外重大，原因在于塑料垃圾尤其是微塑料已经遍布全球生态系统，对野生动植物与人类健康造成巨大威胁。)”可知，塑料污染大范围的危害促使团队开启这项研究。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“The study shows that this method can effectively produce acetic acid from common plastics and it works well even with mixed plastic types.(研究表明该方法可以利用普通塑料高效制取醋酸，即使是混合塑料种类也能良好运作。)”可知，这种光催化方法适用于多种塑料。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“While still at the laboratory stage, the team expects that this approach could be adapted for large-scale, broader environmental cleanup and the photocatalytic upcycling system can be further improved.(目前该技术仍处于实验室阶段，团队希望这项技术可以调整优化，实现大规模应用、用于大范围环境清理。)”可知，团队期待研究成果能够大规模投入使用。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A team of devoted researchers, led by PhD student Wei Wei, has made a remarkable discovery that holds the potential to change plastic waste into acetic acid (醋酸), using the power of sunlight.(由博士生韦伟带领的一支潜心钻研的科研团队取得了一项突破性发现——利用太阳能，有望将塑料废弃物转化为醋酸。)”以及全文内容可知，文章介绍了大学科研项目的发现、技术原理、实验效果、研究价值与未来研发方向，内容符合科研报道特征。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项 涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The first time I swam at night was in the sea, just off the beach in Dover. I was in my mid-20s, training with a group of strangers for a Channel relay (英吉利海峡接力赛). Back then, I didn’t like the dark on land, and if something touched my leg in the water, I would get really frightened. Naturally, the dark sea just made me especially nervous. However, because I knew how much this chance meant, I tried to hide my fear and get on with it. ____16____ But inside, my heart raced. What I remember is unclear: the brown water of that coastline and the red and green lights hanging from our goggles (护目镜). There were no clear conversations or details I can remember. ____17____ Just unclear moments and nerves. And yet, some of my most powerful, emotional swims since then have been in the dark. ____18____ It was early summer and my friend Amanda encouraged me to come along for a night swim in the hope of seeing them. I had no idea what to expect. The experience was amazing. I walked into the water and trusted the people near me. After a few minutes, when I started swimming, I saw a line of sparkling (闪烁的) lights in the water. It took my breath away. Every move made lights appear. It felt like magic. The lights stayed and every time I moved, I saw more shining lights. It was unusual and quietly extraordinary. ____19____ It may seem strange to invite you into darkness in May just as the days lengthen and light stays further into the evening. ____20____ Whether you are planning your first night swim or training for a long and difficult challenge, I hope you can discover the magic that waits after sunset. A. Outwardly I put on a brave face. B. I can’t think of any beauty or joy. C. The other swimmers seemed calm and confident. D. But this is a beautiful time to experiment and play. E. My friend Amanda had been swimming at night for years. F. One of my favorite swimming memories was looking for sea lights. G. It is a gift from the wild that feels almost unreal until you actually experience it. 【答案】16. A 17. B 18. F 19. G 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文作者讲述自己从畏惧夜泳到爱上夜间下海游泳的经历，分享夜泳遇见海上荧光的奇妙体验与感悟。 【16题详解】 根据空前的“However, because I knew how much this chance meant, I tried to hide my fear and get on with it.(然而，因为我知道这次机会意义有多重大，我努力隐藏恐惧、坚持下去。)”以及空后的“But inside, my heart raced.(但我的内心心跳加速、十分紧张。)”可知，空格内容与内心紧张形成内外对比，表现作者表面故作勇敢。A选项“Outwardly I put on a brave face (我表面上装作十分勇敢)”中的Outwardly与后文inside形成鲜明对比，符合转折逻辑，贴合语境。 【17题详解】 根据空前的“There were no clear conversations or details I can remember.(我记不清清晰的对话和具体细节了。)”以及空后的“Just unclear moments and nerves.(只剩下模糊的片段和紧张的情绪。)”可知，作者对这次夜泳没有美好记忆，只剩紧张模糊的感受。B选项“I can’t think of any beauty or joy (我回想不起任何美好与愉悦的感受)”承接上文记忆模糊的内容，引出后文仅有紧张感，符合语境。 【18题详解】 根据空后的“It was early summer and my friend Amanda encouraged me to come along for a night swim in the hope of seeing them.(初夏时节，朋友阿曼达鼓励我夜泳，希望能见到它们。)”以及后文描写水中发光的景象可知，本段讲述作者一次难忘的寻海光夜泳经历。F选项“One of my favorite swimming memories was looking for sea lights (我最喜爱的游泳回忆之一是寻找海上荧光)”总领本段内容，引出下文神奇的夜泳见闻，符合语境。 【19题详解】 根据空前的“It was unusual and quietly extraordinary.(这不同寻常，静谧又非凡。)”可知，空格处需要进一步升华海上荧光美景的独特与珍贵。G选项“It is a gift from the wild that feels almost unreal until you actually experience it (这是大自然的馈赠，亲身经历前会觉得无比虚幻)”中的It指代前文水中闪烁的光影，承接上文对美景的赞美，贴合语境。 【20题详解】 根据空前的“It may seem strange to invite you into darkness in May just as the days lengthen and light stays further into the evening.(五月白昼渐长、夜色姗姗来迟，此时邀请大家夜泳似乎有些奇怪。)”可知，前后存在转折关系，空格处需要解释五月夜泳的独特意义。D选项“But this is a beautiful time to experiment and play (但这正是体验和享受夜泳的绝佳时段)”通过 But 转折，化解前文的违和感，收束全文并发出体验夜泳的期许，符合语境。 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 My dad worked as a used car salesman 28 years ago.

It had always been on his wish list to see this lake, and he wanted us to make the hike to reach it. The trail was a 10-mile round trip, rated as a difficult hike. The moment I heard this, my heart sank, and panic began to set in, as I feared I wouldn’t have the energy to make it to the top. I hadn’t been very active recently and couldn’t shake the belief, that with academic pressure and workload growing heavier, comes a natural decline in energy and motivation. Nonetheless, early the next morning, we set off, eager to make this dream a reality. The difficulty was apparent from the start. The route was steep, and my body protested with every step. About halfway up, we encountered another brother and sister who had decided to turn back, clearly discouraged by the difficulty of the route. I noticed the brother’s disappointed expression, and something in me shifted. I couldn’t bear the thought of giving up. Right then, I made up my mind that I would press on, no matter how tough it got. As we continued on, a surprising thing happened. Instead of focusing on how difficult the hike was, I found myself appreciating the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Each step through the woods felt like a journey into a timeless world, where the heavy burden and stress from study seemed to disappear, replaced by the timeless rhythms of nature. My brother and I chatted as we walked, and I realized how much joy I found in the simple pleasure of his company. What had seemed like an unattainable goal had transformed into a source of personal fulfillment and connection with nature and my brother. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 However, the hike wasn’t without its challenges. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, after hours of hard work, we made it to the top. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 However, the hike wasn’t without its challenges. My legs began to ache, and my breath came in short bursts as the path became more uneven, with loose rocks and roots tripping me up. Despite the fact that my mind tried to convince me to stop and turn back, my resolution was stronger now. The disappointed expression of the brother we encountered was etched in my mind, driving me to clench my teeth to persevere. Every time my legs protested, I reminded myself that with each step, I was growing stronger, both physically and mentally. Finally, after hours of hard work, we made it to the top. The view that greeted us was beyond anything I had imagined. I stood there, taking in the breathtaking scenery. My brother smiled at me, his eyes reflecting pride and joy. It was at that moment that I realized the journey had been just as important as the destination. The hike had tested me in ways I didn’t expect, but it had also shown me how much I was capable of. Together, we had made it, and it felt like a true triumph. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和哥哥假期决定徒步去看山顶的隐秘湖泊，起初因学业压力、体力不足而担忧害怕。途中遇到一对半途放弃的兄妹后，作者决心坚持到底。他渐渐放下疲惫，欣赏自然美景，享受与哥哥相伴的时光，咬牙克服路途艰难。最终成功登顶，看到绝美风光。这次经历让他明白，过程与终点同样重要，坚持能让人突破自我、收获成长。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，这次徒步旅行并非一帆风顺”可知，第一段可描写作者决心坚持到底，咬牙克服路途艰难。 ②由第二段首句内容“最终，经过数小时的艰苦努力，我们终于登上了山顶”可知，第二段可描写作者最终成功登顶，看到绝美风光。这次经历让他明白，过程与终点同样重要，坚持能让人突破自我、收获成长 2.续写线索：徒步不顺利——克服困难——决心坚持——登上山顶——看到绝美风景——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①疼痛：ache/hurt ②绊倒：trip/stumble ③遇到：encounter/run into 情绪类 ①失望的：disappointed/upset ②胜利：triumph/victory 【点睛】[高分句型1] The view that greeted us was beyond anything I had imagined.（运用了that引导定语从句） [高分句型2] Every time my legs protested, I reminded myself that with each step, I was growing stronger, both physically and mentally.（运用了that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 南昌启华双语学校高二年级开学考试英语试卷 试卷总分：150分 考试时长：120分钟 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段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

More than just places to buy books, they are community centers and educational playgrounds. Barnes & Noble (Union Square, NY) America’s largest bookstore company has reinvented itself. Covering 62,000 square feet across several floors, this Manhattan store includes carefully chosen books, vinyl (黑胶) records, and children’s sections. It now feels more personal, with local book selections and a comfortable café. Regular author events draw large crowds, proving that big stores can still feel warm and welcoming. Powell’s City of Books (Portland, OR) This Portland landmark sits on a full city block with an area of over 68,000 square feet. Its brightly colored rooms guide visitors through more than one million new, used, and rare (罕见的) books. The store now puts author readings online and sells books through the Internet. This combination (结合) of physical presence and online activity keeps Powell’s at the heart of American bookselling. The Last Bookstore (Los Angeles, CA) Housed in a former bank building, this 22,000-square-foot space features artistic book showcases, and a room of rare books. The store offers workshops, live music, and art shows, mixing arts with literature. This creative approach makes it both a tourist destination and a community gathering place. Book People (Austin, TX) The largest independent bookstore in Texas serves as Austin’s literary center. At 25,000 square feet, it builds strong community ties through excellent book choices.

B Commencement (毕业典礼) season has arrived again — and this year, many keynote speakers have discovered that it’s tough to get graduating students excited about a future shaped by artificial intelligence (AI). Last weekend, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt faced repeated boos (倒彩) during his speech to about 10,000 University of Arizona graduates on the great changes brought about by AI. A similar response met Scott Borchetta, the CEO of Big Machine Records, when he spoke to the graduating class of Middle Tennessee State University about how AI is helping the music industry. “At the beginning we were excited about it,” said Kareen Gill, a graduate of University of Arizona with a political science degree. “But now, we don’t want it messing with the jobs that we’ve worked for years — so hard for four years — to be qualified for.” “One immediate impact I have noticed is fewer entry level positions because AI is replacing many of those jobs,” said Sami Wargo, who just graduated from Middle Tennessee State University. “I have applied for around 30 jobs but haven’t landed one yet. That sucks.” Not everyone has been met with verbal pushback to AI, though. When CleanHarbors founder Alan McKim spoke at the Northeastern University commencement, he appealed to the graduates to accept AI, but warned, “Your character will matter more than your code (代码).” No boos were heard in the audience. As Dave Lee wrote in Bloomberg, “For any commencement speaker in 2026, no conversation about the future could be credible without mentioning AI. But in front of today’s graduates, striking the right tone is hard. They know the world of work they are entering has never been more uncertain. Anxiety runs high.” 4. What message can we get from the first two paragraphs? A. The keynote speeches were boring. B. Many graduates felt threatened by AI. C. AI has become an unavoidable topic. D. Some graduating students were rude. 5. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Graduation. B. Speech. C. AI. D. Music industry. 6. Which is closest in meaning to “That sucks” in paragraph 4? A. It is fair enough. B. It is untrue. C. It is very bad. D. It is funny. 7. What is Dave Lee’s advice? A. Focus on AI’s harm. B. Persuade graduates to accept AI. C. Avoid mentioning AI. D. Be mindful of graduates’ worry. C Do you love seeing beautiful lanterns outside? The best time to do this is during the Lantern Festival, which falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month. This year it is on Feb. 22, marking the end of Spring Festival celebrations. Lanterns are a big part of the festival. One story says that the bright lanterns show respect for gods. Another says that people light lanterns to celebrate the declining darkness of winter. Watching lanterns is a great event. You see lanterns in any sizes and shapes you can imagine, from animals to plants and flowers. To make this activity more fun, people paste (粘贴) riddles (谜语) on the lanterns. “Ten plus ten, still is ten, ten minus ten, again is ten.” Guess what? It is a pair of gloves. In some places, people like releasing sky lanterns, which are called Kongming lanterns. A sky lantern is a small hot air balloon made of paper, with an opening at the bottom, where there is a small fire source. When the bright lights fly high in the sky, people bless family members and make wishes. Releasing river lights is also a way to bless for each other. Usually, the lights are in the shape of a lotus. In old times, the Lantern Festival was also romantic. At that time, young girls were not allowed to go out very often except during certain festivals. Therefore, looking at lanterns gave young people a chance to meet each other. A line from Xin Qiji, a poet during the Song Dynasty, shows this: “Anxiously, I searched for her in thousands, hundreds of ways. Suddenly I turned, and there she was in the declining light.” 8. Why do people light lanterns during the Lantern Festival? A. To paste riddles on lanterns for fun. B. To release sky lanterns and make wishes. C. To give young people a chance to meet each other. D. To show respect for gods and celebrate the end of winter’s darkness. 9. Which of the following statements about the Lantern Festival is TRUE? A. People make wishes when releasing lights. B. People light lanterns to drive animals away. C. People paste riddles to show off their knowledge. D. Young girls were not allowed to go out on the day. 10. What does the underlined word in the last paragraph most likely mean? A. growing. B. fading. C. brightening. D. steady. 11. What would be the best title for the text? A. A day to Guess Lantern Riddles. B. The Origin of the Lantern Festival. C. Celebrations of the Lantern Festival. D. River Lights on the Lantern Festival. D Exciting news from the University of Waterloo! A team of devoted researchers, led by PhD student Wei Wei, has made a remarkable discovery that holds the potential to change plastic waste into acetic acid (醋酸), using the power of sunlight. Dr. Yimin Wu, a professor at the university, shared their inspiring vision, saying, “Our goal was to solve the plastic pollution challenge by changing microplastic waste into high-value products using sunlight.” This mission is especially significant as plastic waste, particularly microplastics, has spread across ecosystems worldwide, raising serious concerns about its impact on both wildlife and human health. With global plastic recycling rates still falling behind, this research team has stepped up to the challenge. They have developed a bio-inspired photocatalysis (光催化) method using special iron atoms (铁原子). This technology copies how certain fungi (真菌) break down organic matter, showing the creativity of nature. When placed under sunlight, the material drives a series of chemical reactions that change plastic into acetic acid with high selectivity. The reaction takes place in water, which is particularly important for addressing plastic pollution in waters. The study shows that this method can effectively produce acetic acid from common plastics and it works well even with mixed plastic types. This adaptability makes the approach a promising replacement to traditional plastic burning, supporting eco-friendly use of materials and offering a fresh strategy for upcycling. Roy Brouwer, coauthor of the research, stresses the benefits of this innovation, noting, “In terms of business and society, the financial and economic benefits related to this innovation seem promising.” The research findings also open up exciting new ways for directly addressing microplastics. By breaking down plastics at the chemical level, this process could play an important role in preventing the build-up of microplastics in our water systems. While still at the laboratory stage, the team expects that this approach could be adapted for large-scale, broader environmental cleanup and the photocatalytic upcycling system can be further improved. 12. What led the research team to start their study originally? A. Rising recycling rates of plastic. B. Business profits from acetic acid. C. Discovery of sunlight’s chemical power. D. Plastic pollution’s widespread harm. 13. What can we learn about the photocatalysis method? A. It can be applied to various plastics. B. It can completely remove microplastics. C. It breaks down plastics faster than burning. D. It needs high temperatures to support reactions. 14. What does the team expect of their research findings? A. Helping reduce chemical use. B. Coming into use immediately. C. Being used on a larger scale. D. Opening up a market for acetic acid. 15. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A guidebook to waste treatment. B. A scientific research report. C. A brochure on acetic acid production. D. A review on the plastic industry. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项 涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The first time I swam at night was in the sea, just off the beach in Dover. I was in my mid-20s, training with a group of strangers for a Channel relay (英吉利海峡接力赛). Back then, I didn’t like the dark on land, and if something touched my leg in the water, I would get really frightened. Naturally, the dark sea just made me especially nervous. However, because I knew how much this chance meant, I tried to hide my fear and get on with it. ____16____ But inside, my heart raced. What I remember is unclear: the brown water of that coastline and the red and green lights hanging from our goggles (护目镜). There were no clear conversations or details I can remember. ____17____ Just unclear moments and nerves. And yet, some of my most powerful, emotional swims since then have been in the dark. ____18____ It was early summer and my friend Amanda encouraged me to come along for a night swim in the hope of seeing them. I had no idea what to expect. The experience was amazing. I walked into the water and trusted the people near me. After a few minutes, when I started swimming, I saw a line of sparkling (闪烁的) lights in the water. It took my breath away. Every move made lights appear. It felt like magic. The lights stayed and every time I moved, I saw more shining lights. It was unusual and quietly extraordinary. ____19____ It may seem strange to invite you into darkness in May just as the days lengthen and light stays further into the evening. ____20____ Whether you are planning your first night swim or training for a long and difficult challenge, I hope you can discover the magic that waits after sunset.

It had always been on his wish list to see this lake, and he wanted us to make the hike to reach it. The trail was a 10-mile round trip, rated as a difficult hike. The moment I heard this, my heart sank, and panic began to set in, as I feared I wouldn’t have the energy to make it to the top. I hadn’t been very active recently and couldn’t shake the belief, that with academic pressure and workload growing heavier, comes a natural decline in energy and motivation. Nonetheless, early the next morning, we set off, eager to make this dream a reality. The difficulty was apparent from the start. The route was steep, and my body protested with every step. About halfway up, we encountered another brother and sister who had decided to turn back, clearly discouraged by the difficulty of the route. I noticed the brother’s disappointed expression, and something in me shifted. I couldn’t bear the thought of giving up. Right then, I made up my mind that I would press on, no matter how tough it got. As we continued on, a surprising thing happened. Instead of focusing on how difficult the hike was, I found myself appreciating the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Each step through the woods felt like a journey into a timeless world, where the heavy burden and stress from study seemed to disappear, replaced by the timeless rhythms of nature. My brother and I chatted as we walked, and I realized how much joy I found in the simple pleasure of his company. What had seemed like an unattainable goal had transformed into a source of personal fulfillment and connection with nature and my brother. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 However, the hike wasn’t without its challenges. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, after hours of hard work, we made it to the top. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
