The four successful advertising campaigns below show how important a clever slogan is for a company’s brand. Nike: “Just Do It” Nike adopted this slogan in 1988 while the company was in the midst of financial difficulties. This simple saying is now closely connected with the brand’s sports clothes. “Just Do It” is a perfect saying because it inspires a feeling of boldness and encourages consumers to try harder. Nowadays, the slogan has been referenced in music, television shows, movies, and everyday language. Apple: “Think Different” Although Apple’s advertising slogan was criticized for being grammatically incorrect, it still managed to make its way into the minds of consumers. Launched in 1997, the slogan asked consumers to act rebelliously (反叛地) and defy expectations in order to achieve greatness. Since this was the inspiring story of the founding of the company by Steve Jobs, it impressed many consumers. American Express: “Don’t Leave Home Without It” American Express first advised consumers that they shouldn’t leave home without it in 1975. The slogan was originally used to promote American Express Traveler’s Checks and the commercials featured the Academy Award-winning actor Karl Malden. Although Malden was the brand’s ambassador for over two decades, other celebrities such as Stephen King and Jerry Seinfeld have been featured in advertisements for American Express. De Beers: “A Diamond Is Forever” De Beers launched this simple slogan in 1947 and it’s still in use today. The slogan “A Diamond Is Forever” was created by Frances Gerety from the Philadelphia advertising agency NW Ayer. De Beers’s slogan changed most of Americans’ relationship with diamonds. Before the slogan, it was not usual to propose with a diamond engagement ring. Ian Fleming’s novel featuring the character James Bond was published in 1956 with the title “Diamonds Are Forever”, further promoting the slogan’s popularity. 1. Which of the following slogans was put forward to overcome crisis? A. Just Do It B. Think Different C. Don’t Leave Home Without It D. A Diamond Is Forever 2. What made Apple’s slogan impressive? A. Its incorrect grammar. B. Its advanced ideas. C. Its inspiring story. D. Its target customers. 3. What is special about De Beers’s slogan? A. It was created by a novelist. B. It misled people once launched. C. It is the only one that has been used till today. D. It changed Americans’ proposing custom. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】文章通过耐克、苹果、美国运通和戴比尔斯四个品牌的成功广告语，说明了巧妙标语对品牌形象和消费者行为的重要影响。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Nike部分中的“Nike adopted this slogan in 1988 while the company was in the midst of financial difficulties. (耐克在1988年采用这个口号时，公司正处于财务困难之中。)”可知，“Just Do It”这一口号的提出旨在克服危机。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Apple部分中的“Since this was the inspiring story of the founding of the company by Steve Jobs, it impressed many consumers. (由于这是史蒂夫·乔布斯创立公司的鼓舞人心的故事，它给许多消费者留下了深刻印象。)”可知，其背后的励志故事让苹果的口号令人印象深刻。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据De Beers部分中的“De Beers’s slogan changed most of Americans’ relationship with diamonds. Before the slogan, it was not usual to propose with a diamond engagement ring. (戴比尔斯的广告语改变了大多数美国人与钻石的关系。在这句广告语出现之前，用钻戒求婚并不常见。)”可知，该口号的特别之处在于它改变了美国人求婚的习俗。 B Robert Bateman is a well-known wildlife painter who receives global popularity for his realistic and accurate depictions of the natural world. His numerous honors include hosting a major exhibit at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D. C. and selling more than a million copies of his books about his art and his love for nature. But Bateman’s success has come with a demerit. Throughout his career, his highly realistic painting style has been repeatedly overlooked and rejected by critics for not being “serious” art. To this day, he’s never been invited to exhibit at the National Gallery of Canada. “They think I’m just too digestible,” Bateman says. “I’m sort of like a simple cookie or something, but they prefer something a little harder to swallow.” Now, at age 96, Bateman is the subject of a new documentary, The Art of Adventure, which reveals how Bateman fell in love with the natural world and what led him to launch a lifelong fight to protect it. Though Bateman has been a keen artist and naturalist since childhood, he didn’t always paint in his signature realistic style. At certain points in his career, he experimented with impressionism and abstract expressionism. But after seeing some of Andrew Wyeth’s paintings, he says he realized that realism wasn’t simply decorative — it could be just as serious and thought-provoking (发人深省的) as abstract art. Bateman personally regards his art as a way of fulfilling his mission of environmental advocacy and education. Realism, he says, is the most suitable way to express that. “I’ve always loved young people and teaching, and spreading the word about nature,” he says. “I consider it a mission in life to let people know the names of their neighbors of other species. It’s all that particularity in knowing the names that I consider a mission in life. And that’s why my art also had to show this.” 4. Which is closest in meaning to “demerit” underlined in paragraph 2? A. Threat. B. Mistake. C. Disadvantage. D. Commitment. 5. Why does Bateman compare himself to a cookie? A. His works lack artistic techniques. B. His art is seen as too easily accessible. C. He brings people a sense of easy pleasure. D. He prefers simple subjects in his paintings. 6. How did Wyeth’s painting affect Bateman? A. He switched to wildlife art. B. He began to care about the environment. C. He reassessed the value of realism. D. He realized the limitation of abstract art. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Robert Bateman: A Deeply Misunderstood Painter B. Robert Bateman: A Super Hardworking Painter C. Robert Bateman: A Master Fighting for Nature D. Robert Bateman: A Master of Abstract Wildlife Painting 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了罗伯特·贝特曼是知名野生动物画家，虽享誉世界却遭评论家轻视。受怀斯启发，他坚持写实风格，借画作宣传环保，一部新纪录片讲述了他的故事。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句以及后文“But Bateman’s success has come with a demerit. Throughout his career, his highly realistic painting style has been repeatedly overlooked and rejected by critics for not being “serious” art.(但贝特曼的成功也伴随着一个demerit。在他整个职业生涯中，他高度写实的绘画风格一直被评论家忽视和拒绝，认为其并非“严肃”的艺术)”可知，成功伴随弊端、不利之处，评论家不认可他的作品。故划线词意思是“缺点”。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““They think I’m just too digestible,” Bateman says. “I’m sort of like a simple cookie or something, but they prefer something a little harder to swallow.”(“他们觉得我太容易理解了，”贝特曼说，“我就像一块简单的饼干之类的东西，但他们更喜欢稍微难咽一点的东西。”)”可知，贝特曼把自己比作一块饼干是因为他的艺术被认为过于容易理解。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“But after seeing some of Andrew Wyeth’s paintings, he says he realized that realism wasn’t simply decorative — it could be just as serious and thought-provoking (发人深省的) as abstract art.(但看了安德鲁·怀斯的几幅画作后，他说他意识到写实主义不仅仅是装饰性的——它同样可以像抽象艺术一样严肃而发人深省)”可知，怀斯的画作让贝特曼重新评估了写实主义的价值。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“But Bateman’s success has come with a demerit. Throughout his career, his highly realistic painting style has been repeatedly overlooked and rejected by critics for not being “serious” art. To this day, he’s never been invited to exhibit at the National Gallery of Canada.(但贝特曼的成功也有其不足之处。在他的职业生涯中，他高度写实的绘画风格一再被评论家忽视和拒绝，认为其并非“严肃”的艺术。直到今天，他从未被邀请在加拿大国家美术馆展出)”并结合文章可知，本文主要说明了罗伯特·贝特曼是知名野生动物画家，虽享誉世界却遭评论家轻视，受怀斯启发，他坚持写实风格，借画作宣传环保，一部新纪录片讲述了他的故事。A选项“罗伯特·贝特曼：一位被严重误解的画家”最符合文章标题。 C On the waterside in Dun Laoghaire, a coastal suburb of Dublin, a small crowd gathers around colorful yoga mats (瑜伽垫). Naoise Ní Bhroin, a yoga instructor, calls for an inward breath to the sound of crashing waves. Her classes are mostly in Irish, long seen by many as a useless language, says Ms Ní Bhroin. But not any more. A century ago, just 18% of the country’s population spoke Irish; UNESCO has declared it endangered. Yet today 1.8m people in Ireland (around 40% of the population) claim some ability to speak the language, up 71% from 1991. Nearly half of students now study Irish at advanced level in secondary school, compared with less than a third in 2005. In Northern Ireland, it has overtaken French as the second-most popular A-Level language after Spanish. Exam reforms explain some of the growth. Final grades in Ireland now place greater emphasis on the oral exam. But Irish has also become cool. Cillian Murphy, an Irish actor, chose it for his acceptance speech at the Academy Awards in 2024. Paul Mescal, another actor, uses Irish casually on the red carpet. Irish-language storytelling and music are earning global recognition, from the film “The Quiet Girl” to Kneecap, an Irish-language music group. On social media, Irish-speaking influencers have made the language a fixture of everyday life. Catherine Connolly, Ireland’s president since November 2025, said she would move Irish beyond ceremonial greetings to make it the official working language of the country’s presidential office. The government has set a 20% hiring target for Irish speakers in the public sector by 2030. All this means growing demand for fluent Irish speakers. Darren O Rodaigh, chief executive of Gaelchultúr, a Dublin-based provider of Irish language courses, says that registration has more than doubled since 2020. Participation has expanded beyond teachers and academics to include young professionals in tech, health care, and entertainment. Around 1,900 candidates sat the state-certified Irish-language exam in the 2021-2022 academic year. In 2024-2025 the number was nearly 40% higher. 8. What can we infer about Ms Ní Bhroin? A. She is a devoted Irish learner. B. She promotes Irish actively. C. She teaches Irish through yoga. D. She uses Irish to make a living. 9. What does the data in paragraph 2 show? A. More people know Irish than before. B. More students learn Irish at an early age. C. Irish is now a dominant language in Ireland. D. Irish is overtaking Spanish in Northern Ireland. 10. Which of the following is a reason for the rise of Irish? A. The great financial support from UNESCO. B. The reduction of oral exam weight in exams. C. The decrease of English speakers in Ireland. D. The influence of pop culture and state policy. 11. What does the last paragraph indicate about Irish? A. Its courses are now offered online. B. Its certification is now easier to obtain. C. Its learners are from both home and abroad. D. Its demand is growing beyond traditional fields. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了都柏林海边瑜伽课用爱尔兰语开展。曾经濒危的爱尔兰语如今学习者大增。流行文化与国家政策助推其发展，语言人才需求扩大，学习者不再限于教师学者。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Her classes are mostly in Irish, long seen by many as a useless language, says Ms Ní Bhroin. But not any more. (尼·布罗恩女士表示，这些课程主要使用爱尔兰语，长期以来许多人认为这门语言毫无用处。但现在已不再如此。)”可知，尼·布罗恩女士积极推广爱尔兰语。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Yet today 1.8m people in Ireland (around 40% of the population) claim some ability to speak the language, up 71% from 1991. (但如今，爱尔兰有180万人（约占人口的40%）声称自己能够说这种语言，比1991年增加了71%。)”可知，第二段中的数据表明了会说爱尔兰语的人比以前更多。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But Irish has also become cool. Cillian Murphy, an Irish actor, chose it for his acceptance speech at the Academy Awards in 2024. Paul Mescal, another actor, uses Irish casually on the red carpet. Irish-language storytelling and music are earning global recognition, from the film “The Quiet Girl” to Kneecap, an Irish-language music group. On social media, Irish-speaking influencers have made the language a fixture of everyday life. (但爱尔兰语也变得越来越流行。爱尔兰演员基里安·墨菲在2024年奥斯卡颁奖礼上用爱尔兰语发表了获奖感言。另一位演员保罗·梅斯卡尔也在红毯上随意使用爱尔兰语。从电影《安静的女孩》到爱尔兰语音乐团体Kneecap，爱尔兰语的叙事和音乐正获得全球认可。在社交媒体上，讲爱尔兰语的网红们也让这种语言成为日常生活的一部分。)”以及第四段“Catherine Connolly, Ireland’s president since November 2025, said she would move Irish beyond ceremonial greetings to make it the official working language of the country’s presidential office. The government has set a 20% hiring target for Irish speakers in the public sector by 2030. (自2025年11月起担任爱尔兰总统的凯瑟琳·康诺利表示，她将推动爱尔兰语的使用不局限于礼仪性问候，使其成为该国总统办公室的官方工作语言。政府已设定到2030年在公共部门雇佣爱尔兰语使用者的目标为20%。)”可知，流行文化的影响和国家政策是爱尔兰语兴起的原因。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Participation has expanded beyond teachers and academics to include young professionals in tech, health care, and entertainment. (参与范围已从教师和学者扩展到科技、医疗和娱乐领域的年轻专业人士)”可知，最后一段关于爱尔兰语的内容表明其需求正超越传统领域不断增长。 D Static electricity — the spark you feel when touching a doorknob or pulling on a sweater — may be a brief annoyance for humans. But scientists are discovering that it plays a major role in the survival of many small organisms. S. carpocapsae (斯氏线虫) can hold on to flying insects with the help of static electricity, according to new research. The researchers discovered that electrically charged fruit fly’s wings generate an electric field of several hundred volts (伏) as they move through the air. This charge creates an opposite charge in the needle-tip-sized worm, creating an attraction that pulls the two together. They confirmed that the process is powered by static electricity. The researchers wanted to investigate how electrostatic forces affect the success rate of S. carpocapsae to connect with a flying insect. S. carpocapsae is a roundworm that kills insects through a symbiotic (共生的) relationship with bacteria. It is increasingly used for biological pest control in agriculture, with researchers around the world studying how to further drive its effectiveness as a natural pesticide. When the worm senses an insect overhead, it rolls up and then launches itself in the air as high as 25 times its body length. That’s the equivalent of a human being jumping higher than a 10-story building. The researchers also found that only one out of 19 worms successfully reached the target in the absence of electrostatics. A charge of a few hundred volts generates an opposite charge in a jumping worm and significantly increases the odds of it connecting to a midair insect. A charge of just 100 volts resulted in a probability for hitting the target of less than 10%, while 800 volts boosted the probability of success to 80%. A worm spends a vast amount of energy to jump and faces risks of predation (捕食) or drying out while suspended in the air. “Our findings suggest that, without electrostatics, it would make no sense for this jumping predatory behavior to have evolved in these worms,” says Victor Ortega-Jimenez, co-lead author and assistant professor of biomechanics at the University of California, Berkeley. The work serves as a new framework for further investigations into the role of electrostatics in ecology. “We live in an electrical world, and electricity is all around us, but the electrostatics of small organisms remains mostly an enigma,” Ortega-Jimenez says. “We are developing the tools to investigate many more valuable questions surrounding it.” 12. What do we know about S. carpocapsae? A. It saves lots of energy when jumping into the air. B. It can be applied to agricultural biological pest control. C. It produces symbiotic bacteria inside its body. D. It seldom faces danger when hanging in mid-air. 13. Why does the author mention a 10-story building in paragraph 4? A. To show the amazing jumping ability of the worm. B. To describe the living environment of the worm. C. To explain how high a building usually is. D. To prove humans are poor at jumping. 14. What can we infer from Victor Ortega-Jimenez’s words in paragraph 6? A. The worm can jump safely without facing any risks in the air. B. It costs much energy for the worm to finish an adventurous jump. C. Scientists uncovered the secrets of small organisms’ static electricity. D. The jumping behavior of the worm developed thanks to electrostatics. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. How electric charges improve biological pest control. B. How static electricity poses a threat to flying insects. C. How electrostatics aids worms’ survival and hunting behavior. D. How worms boost the effect of the charge within their bodies. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】研究发现静电可帮助斯氏线虫吸附空中昆虫，大幅提升捕猎成功率，静电是该线虫演化出跳跃捕食行为的关键。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“S. carpocapsae is a roundworm that kills insects through a symbiotic (共生的) relationship with bacteria. It is increasingly used for biological pest control in agriculture, with researchers around the world studying how to further drive its effectiveness as a natural pesticide. (斯氏线虫是一种线虫，通过与细菌的共生关系杀死昆虫。它越来越多地被用于农业生物虫害防治，世界各地的研究人员正在研究如何进一步提高它作为天然杀虫剂的效果。)”可知，斯氏线虫可用于农业生物防虫。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“When the worm senses an insect overhead, it rolls up and then launches itself in the air as high as 25 times its body length. That’s the equivalent of a human being jumping higher than a 10-story building. (当线虫感知到头顶上方有昆虫时，它会蜷缩起来，然后腾空跳起，高度可达自身体长的25倍。这相当于人类跳得比一栋十层楼还要高。)”可知，作者用十层楼作类比，是为了展现线虫惊人的跳跃能力。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“Our findings suggest that, without electrostatics, it would make no sense for this jumping predatory behavior to have evolved in these worms. (我们的研究结果表明，如果没有静电，线虫的这种跳跃捕食行为就不会演化出来。)”可推断，正是静电促使线虫演化出这种跳跃捕食行为。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“But scientists are discovering that it plays a major role in the survival of many small organisms. S. carpocapsae (斯氏线虫) can hold on to flying insects with the help of static electricity, according to new research. (但是科学家发现静电在许多小型生物的生存中起到重要作用。新研究表明，斯氏线虫可以借助静电抓住飞行昆虫。)”以及后文实验内容可知，文章主要介绍静电如何帮助线虫生存与捕猎。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When preparing for an interview, it’s always a good idea to anticipate the questions that might be asked. By preparing ahead of time, you will give yourself a better chance to answer well. ____16____ Why do you want this job? The worst answer you can give to this question is, “Because I need the money”. ____17____ Employers want to know why you are attracted to their business and want to work for them. You need to figure out in detail why the company interests you and how it could benefit from your expertise. ____18____ You maybe tend to either greatly limit when you can work, or tell the interviewer that you can work at any hour. Whatever you do, be straightforward with your future employer about your limits on your time. ____19____ Although you may not want to work every weekday evening, it may be possible that a few evenings a week will work out. If you are unable to work Sunday afternoons let your future employer know that, but let him or her know the other days you’d be willing to put in extra time. What do you know about the company? ____20____ This is why it is always a good idea to do some research ahead of time on any company you’re applying to work for. You may not need to go in depth about the company, but it’s always a good idea to know some things about it other than just the services it provides. By preparing for these questions, you will help yourself stay calm, and avoid those uncomfortable moments of trying to come up with reasonable answers. A. What hours are you available? B. Do you have reliable transportation? C. Remember not to be too strict about the limits D. The fact that you want to earn a paycheck is obvious. E. More often than not, an interview will include this question. F. It can also reduce the anxiety that often comes with interviews G. Regardless of how you go to work, make sure that you have a back-up. 【答案】16. F 17. D 18. A 19. C 20. E 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了面试前要预判问题。文章介绍三类常见面试题：求职动机、可工作时间、对公司的了解。充分准备能让人保持冷静，从容作答。 【16题详解】 根据上文“When preparing for an interview, it’s always a good idea to anticipate the questions that might be asked. By preparing ahead of time, you will give yourself a better chance to answer well.(在准备面试时，提前预想可能被问到的问题总是一个好主意。通过提前准备，你将有更大的机会给出更好的回答)”可知，前文提到提前准备面试问题能提升答好的几率，F项的“还能减轻面试常有的焦虑”是对提前准备好处的延续补充，衔接自然。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Why do you want this job? The worst answer you can give to this question is, “Because I need the money”.(你为什么想要这份工作？对于这个问题，最糟糕的回答就是：“因为我需要钱。”)”可知，前文指出回答“想要这份工作”最糟的答案是“因为我需要钱”，D项“你想要赚薪水是显而易见的”承接该内容，引出雇主真正想了解的是你对公司的认可，逻辑通顺。 【18题详解】 根据后文“You maybe tend to either greatly limit when you can work, or tell the interviewer that you can work at any hour. Whatever you do, be straightforward with your future employer about your limits on your time.(你可能容易走向两个极端：要么大幅限制自己可上班的时间，要么告诉面试官自己随时都能上班。无论采取哪种方式，都应坦诚地向未来的雇主说明你的时间安排上的限制)”可知，空后内容围绕工作时间的限制、可工作的时段展开，A项“你什么时段有空？”对应本段的核心话题，作为段落主题句合适。 【19题详解】 根据后文“Although you may not want to work every weekday evening, it may be possible that a few evenings a week will work out. If you are unable to work Sunday afternoons let your future employer know that, but let him or her know the other days you’d be willing to put in extra time.(虽然你可能不想每个工作日的晚上都工作，但每周有几天晚上或许可以安排。如果你无法在周日下午工作，就告诉未来的雇主，但要让他或她知道你在其他时间愿意加班)”可知，空后说明不必完全拒绝加班、可协调部分时段，C项“记住不要对时间限制太过严苛”能引出后文的弹性时间沟通建议。 【20题详解】 根据上文“What do you know about the company?(你对这家公司了解多少？)”以及后文“This is why it is always a good idea to do some research ahead of time on any company you’re applying to work for. You may not need to go in depth about the company, but it’s always a good idea to know some things about it other than just the services it provides.(因此，提前对申请工作的任何公司进行一些调研总是一个好主意。你可能不需要深入了解公司本身，但除了了解其提供的服务外，掌握一些其他信息也总是一个好主意)”可知，前文抛出问题“你对公司有什么了解？”，后文说明要提前做公司调研，E项“面试通常都会包含这个问题”衔接前后，解释了提前做调研的原因。 第三部分 语言应用（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。 In 2024, my older brother was going through a tough time.

You worked hard, waited patiently, and the result would arrive like a neatly wrapped gift. That belief held true until this spring, when our physics teacher announced an innovation fair. I signed up immediately, convinced that this would finally be the stage where my late-night efforts would pay off. My plan sounded impressive even to myself: a sensor-controlled bridge model designed to show how simple engineering can solve everyday problems. For weeks I worked alone in my room, surrounded by sketches (草图) and the soft noise of various tools. I told myself that independence was strength and that effort would be enough. When I carried the model into the school gym on the morning of the fair, I felt quiet pride. It wasn’t beautiful, but it was mine. I believed it would speak for itself. The gym was alive with activity. Projects lit up, whirred (发出嗡嗡声), and came to life. My bridge stood near the wall, its wooden sides freshly painted and its wires carefully hidden. The first few visitors nodded politely as I demonstrated how the sensor was supposed to activate the small engine. Then the judges arrived. Halfway through my explanation, the engine hesitated. The bridge rose a few centimeters and froze. I tried again, but nothing happened. I felt the heat rise to my neck. The judges thanked me and moved on. That evening, I carried the bridge home and placed it on my desk like a reminder of my failure. The next few days were worse. At school, everyone was talking about the winners and their clever designs, and I found myself keeping my head down to avoid anything that reminded me of the fair. One afternoon, while cleaning my desk, I opened the notebook where I had planned the project. Page after page was filled with rushed decisions and baseless assumptions. I had worked hard, but entirely alone, and I had treated testing like something unimportant. This understanding was more important than losing the competition. The failure was not because of bad luck, but my own mistakes. 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。 I decided not to let the failure define me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the next fair arrived, I was ready to present my improved bridge. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】【参考范文】 I decided not to let the failure define me. I began by asking for help and testing every part of the model. After school, I stayed in the lab, sharing my design with classmates who were better at coding and mechanics. They asked tough questions, but I learned to welcome them. We took the bridge apart, checked the sensor, and ran the engine again and again until errors became a guide rather than an enemy. I took notes, revised my plans, and tested twice before I trusted the results. Slowly, the bridge started to rise smoothly with quiet certainty — and so did my confidence. When the next fair arrived, I was ready to present my improved bridge. This time, I arrived with a team by my side and a checklist in my pocket. As the judges gathered, the sensor responded instantly, the engine ran without hesitation, and the bridge rose and held steady — exactly as we had tested it. When the results were announced, my name stood at the top. The applause felt warm, but what mattered more was the path that led there. I had not only fixed a bridge — I had rebuilt my understanding of what success truly meant. Success does not move in a straight line — it grows through revision, shared effort, and the courage to try again. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者曾以为成功是一条直线。作者独自制作感应桥梁模型参加创新展，展示时模型失灵。复盘后作者发现问题在于单打独斗且缺少测试。作者找同学组队改良模型。在下一届展会，取得成功了。作者明白了成功并非一帆风顺，而是来自不断修正、团队协作以及重新尝试的勇气。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者向他人寻求帮助，改良模型。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写在下一届展会作者取得成功了以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：求助→改良模型→进行测试→信心增长→展会取得成功→作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①修改：revise/modify ②检查：check/examine 情绪类 ①勇气：courage/bravery ②信心：confidence/self-confidence 【点睛】[高分句型1] After school, I stayed in the lab, sharing my design with classmates who were better at coding and mechanics.（运用了who引导定语从句） [高分句型2] When the results were announced, my name stood at the top.（运用了when引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 太原五中2026—2027学年度第一学期学科阶段性检测 高 三 英 语 时间：2026.9.18 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.

The four successful advertising campaigns below show how important a clever slogan is for a company’s brand. Nike: “Just Do It” Nike adopted this slogan in 1988 while the company was in the midst of financial difficulties. This simple saying is now closely connected with the brand’s sports clothes. “Just Do It” is a perfect saying because it inspires a feeling of boldness and encourages consumers to try harder. Nowadays, the slogan has been referenced in music, television shows, movies, and everyday language. Apple: “Think Different” Although Apple’s advertising slogan was criticized for being grammatically incorrect, it still managed to make its way into the minds of consumers. Launched in 1997, the slogan asked consumers to act rebelliously (反叛地) and defy expectations in order to achieve greatness. Since this was the inspiring story of the founding of the company by Steve Jobs, it impressed many consumers. American Express: “Don’t Leave Home Without It” American Express first advised consumers that they shouldn’t leave home without it in 1975. The slogan was originally used to promote American Express Traveler’s Checks and the commercials featured the Academy Award-winning actor Karl Malden. Although Malden was the brand’s ambassador for over two decades, other celebrities such as Stephen King and Jerry Seinfeld have been featured in advertisements for American Express. De Beers: “A Diamond Is Forever” De Beers launched this simple slogan in 1947 and it’s still in use today. The slogan “A Diamond Is Forever” was created by Frances Gerety from the Philadelphia advertising agency NW Ayer. De Beers’s slogan changed most of Americans’ relationship with diamonds. Before the slogan, it was not usual to propose with a diamond engagement ring. Ian Fleming’s novel featuring the character James Bond was published in 1956 with the title “Diamonds Are Forever”, further promoting the slogan’s popularity. 1. Which of the following slogans was put forward to overcome crisis? A. Just Do It B. Think Different C. Don’t Leave Home Without It D. A Diamond Is Forever 2. What made Apple’s slogan impressive? A. Its incorrect grammar. B. Its advanced ideas. C. Its inspiring story. D. Its target customers. 3. What is special about De Beers’s slogan? A. It was created by a novelist. B. It misled people once launched. C. It is the only one that has been used till today. D. It changed Americans’ proposing custom. B Robert Bateman is a well-known wildlife painter who receives global popularity for his realistic and accurate depictions of the natural world. His numerous honors include hosting a major exhibit at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D. C. and selling more than a million copies of his books about his art and his love for nature. But Bateman’s success has come with a demerit. Throughout his career, his highly realistic painting style has been repeatedly overlooked and rejected by critics for not being “serious” art. To this day, he’s never been invited to exhibit at the National Gallery of Canada. “They think I’m just too digestible,” Bateman says. “I’m sort of like a simple cookie or something, but they prefer something a little harder to swallow.” Now, at age 96, Bateman is the subject of a new documentary, The Art of Adventure, which reveals how Bateman fell in love with the natural world and what led him to launch a lifelong fight to protect it. Though Bateman has been a keen artist and naturalist since childhood, he didn’t always paint in his signature realistic style. At certain points in his career, he experimented with impressionism and abstract expressionism. But after seeing some of Andrew Wyeth’s paintings, he says he realized that realism wasn’t simply decorative — it could be just as serious and thought-provoking (发人深省的) as abstract art. Bateman personally regards his art as a way of fulfilling his mission of environmental advocacy and education. Realism, he says, is the most suitable way to express that. “I’ve always loved young people and teaching, and spreading the word about nature,” he says. “I consider it a mission in life to let people know the names of their neighbors of other species. It’s all that particularity in knowing the names that I consider a mission in life. And that’s why my art also had to show this.” 4. Which is closest in meaning to “demerit” underlined in paragraph 2? A. Threat. B. Mistake. C. Disadvantage. D. Commitment. 5. Why does Bateman compare himself to a cookie? A. His works lack artistic techniques. B. His art is seen as too easily accessible. C. He brings people a sense of easy pleasure. D. He prefers simple subjects in his paintings. 6. How did Wyeth’s painting affect Bateman? A. He switched to wildlife art. B. He began to care about the environment. C. He reassessed the value of realism. D. He realized the limitation of abstract art. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Robert Bateman: A Deeply Misunderstood Painter B. Robert Bateman: A Super Hardworking Painter C. Robert Bateman: A Master Fighting for Nature D. Robert Bateman: A Master of Abstract Wildlife Painting C On the waterside in Dun Laoghaire, a coastal suburb of Dublin, a small crowd gathers around colorful yoga mats (瑜伽垫). Naoise Ní Bhroin, a yoga instructor, calls for an inward breath to the sound of crashing waves. Her classes are mostly in Irish, long seen by many as a useless language, says Ms Ní Bhroin. But not any more. A century ago, just 18% of the country’s population spoke Irish; UNESCO has declared it endangered. Yet today 1.8m people in Ireland (around 40% of the population) claim some ability to speak the language, up 71% from 1991. Nearly half of students now study Irish at advanced level in secondary school, compared with less than a third in 2005. In Northern Ireland, it has overtaken French as the second-most popular A-Level language after Spanish. Exam reforms explain some of the growth. Final grades in Ireland now place greater emphasis on the oral exam. But Irish has also become cool. Cillian Murphy, an Irish actor, chose it for his acceptance speech at the Academy Awards in 2024. Paul Mescal, another actor, uses Irish casually on the red carpet. Irish-language storytelling and music are earning global recognition, from the film “The Quiet Girl” to Kneecap, an Irish-language music group. On social media, Irish-speaking influencers have made the language a fixture of everyday life. Catherine Connolly, Ireland’s president since November 2025, said she would move Irish beyond ceremonial greetings to make it the official working language of the country’s presidential office. The government has set a 20% hiring target for Irish speakers in the public sector by 2030. All this means growing demand for fluent Irish speakers. Darren O Rodaigh, chief executive of Gaelchultúr, a Dublin-based provider of Irish language courses, says that registration has more than doubled since 2020. Participation has expanded beyond teachers and academics to include young professionals in tech, health care, and entertainment. Around 1,900 candidates sat the state-certified Irish-language exam in the 2021-2022 academic year. In 2024-2025 the number was nearly 40% higher. 8. What can we infer about Ms Ní Bhroin? A. She is a devoted Irish learner. B. She promotes Irish actively. C. She teaches Irish through yoga. D. She uses Irish to make a living. 9. What does the data in paragraph 2 show? A. More people know Irish than before. B. More students learn Irish at an early age. C. Irish is now a dominant language in Ireland. D. Irish is overtaking Spanish in Northern Ireland. 10. Which of the following is a reason for the rise of Irish? A. The great financial support from UNESCO. B. The reduction of oral exam weight in exams. C. The decrease of English speakers in Ireland. D. The influence of pop culture and state policy. 11. What does the last paragraph indicate about Irish? A. Its courses are now offered online. B. Its certification is now easier to obtain. C. Its learners are from both home and abroad. D. Its demand is growing beyond traditional fields. D Static electricity — the spark you feel when touching a doorknob or pulling on a sweater — may be a brief annoyance for humans. But scientists are discovering that it plays a major role in the survival of many small organisms. S. carpocapsae (斯氏线虫) can hold on to flying insects with the help of static electricity, according to new research. The researchers discovered that electrically charged fruit fly’s wings generate an electric field of several hundred volts (伏) as they move through the air. This charge creates an opposite charge in the needle-tip-sized worm, creating an attraction that pulls the two together. They confirmed that the process is powered by static electricity. The researchers wanted to investigate how electrostatic forces affect the success rate of S. carpocapsae to connect with a flying insect. S. carpocapsae is a roundworm that kills insects through a symbiotic (共生的) relationship with bacteria. It is increasingly used for biological pest control in agriculture, with researchers around the world studying how to further drive its effectiveness as a natural pesticide. When the worm senses an insect overhead, it rolls up and then launches itself in the air as high as 25 times its body length. That’s the equivalent of a human being jumping higher than a 10-story building. The researchers also found that only one out of 19 worms successfully reached the target in the absence of electrostatics. A charge of a few hundred volts generates an opposite charge in a jumping worm and significantly increases the odds of it connecting to a midair insect. A charge of just 100 volts resulted in a probability for hitting the target of less than 10%, while 800 volts boosted the probability of success to 80%. A worm spends a vast amount of energy to jump and faces risks of predation (捕食) or drying out while suspended in the air. “Our findings suggest that, without electrostatics, it would make no sense for this jumping predatory behavior to have evolved in these worms,” says Victor Ortega-Jimenez, co-lead author and assistant professor of biomechanics at the University of California, Berkeley. The work serves as a new framework for further investigations into the role of electrostatics in ecology. “We live in an electrical world, and electricity is all around us, but the electrostatics of small organisms remains mostly an enigma,” Ortega-Jimenez says. “We are developing the tools to investigate many more valuable questions surrounding it.” 12. What do we know about S. carpocapsae? A. It saves lots of energy when jumping into the air. B. It can be applied to agricultural biological pest control. C.

You worked hard, waited patiently, and the result would arrive like a neatly wrapped gift. That belief held true until this spring, when our physics teacher announced an innovation fair. I signed up immediately, convinced that this would finally be the stage where my late-night efforts would pay off. My plan sounded impressive even to myself: a sensor-controlled bridge model designed to show how simple engineering can solve everyday problems. For weeks I worked alone in my room, surrounded by sketches (草图) and the soft noise of various tools. I told myself that independence was strength and that effort would be enough. When I carried the model into the school gym on the morning of the fair, I felt quiet pride. It wasn’t beautiful, but it was mine. I believed it would speak for itself. The gym was alive with activity. Projects lit up, whirred (发出嗡嗡声), and came to life. My bridge stood near the wall, its wooden sides freshly painted and its wires carefully hidden. The first few visitors nodded politely as I demonstrated how the sensor was supposed to activate the small engine. Then the judges arrived. Halfway through my explanation, the engine hesitated. The bridge rose a few centimeters and froze. I tried again, but nothing happened. I felt the heat rise to my neck. The judges thanked me and moved on. That evening, I carried the bridge home and placed it on my desk like a reminder of my failure. The next few days were worse. At school, everyone was talking about the winners and their clever designs, and I found myself keeping my head down to avoid anything that reminded me of the fair. One afternoon, while cleaning my desk, I opened the notebook where I had planned the project. Page after page was filled with rushed decisions and baseless assumptions. I had worked hard, but entirely alone, and I had treated testing like something unimportant. This understanding was more important than losing the competition. The failure was not because of bad luck, but my own mistakes. 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。 I decided not to let the failure define me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the next fair arrived, I was ready to present my improved bridge. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
