2026学年第一学期9月学情调研 英语 考试时间：120分钟 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Composition of E-Waste Nowadays, e-waste is one of the world’s fastest-growing waste streams. Waste electronics contain harmful substances like lead and mercury, posing serious environmental and health risks. However, e-waste also represents a valuable “urban mine”. It holds an estimated 31 million tonnes of metals, 17 million tonnes of plastics, and 14 million tonnes of glass. One tonne of circuit boards can contain up to 800 times more gold than a tonne of gold-bearing rocks. Despite this, less than 1% of rare earth elements are recycled. Recycled e-waste is a valuable resource for sustainable manufacturing (制造业). Its metals, e.g. gold and copper, are reused in electronics, vehicles, and renewable energy systems. Recovered plastics find new life in durable products, while glass is processed into building materials. This circular (循环的) approach cuts energy use, reduces mining demand, and transforms waste into industrial resources, supporting both the economy and the environment. The e-waste management market is projected to more than double by 2027. While 81 countries have adopted Extended Producer Responsibility laws, collection rates still fall behind policy goals. To improve recycling, governments should strengthen EPR laws, and invest in facilities. Institutions can promote research and public awareness. Individuals should properly drop off e-waste at collection points, fix items rather than throw them away, and support brands with strong environmental commitments. 1. What percentage do screens and cables account for in all e-waste compositions? A. 12% B. 14% C. 17% D. 60% 2. What is a key advantage of e-waste compared to natural mines? A. It can be richer in precious metals. B. It provides more recoverable non-metals. C. It works better as building materials. D. It contains a greater variety of rare elements. 3. What is suggested for individuals to help recycle e-waste? A. Invest in formal recycling facilities. B. Choose repair over replacement. C. Launch public awareness campaigns. D. Set clear personal take-back plans. B When I was twelve, my grandmother gave me an unusual task: to water her garden not with a hose (水管), but with a small, bent tin cup. “The hose is too fast,” she said, adjusting her straw hat. “It doesn’t know when to stop. The cup makes you look at every leaf.” I grumbled, naturally. It took an hour to water what could have been done in ten minutes. I marched back and forth to the rain bucket, splashing water onto the thirsty soil. But as the weeks passed, the forced slowness began to change things. I started noticing the small dramas of the garden: the determined climb of a ladybug, the slight droop of a begonia (秋海棠) that needed extra care, the way the soil darkened when it had truly had enough to drink. One afternoon, I found a cocoon (茧) attached to a tomato vine. If I had been blasting away with the hose, I would have knocked it off. Instead, I sat and watched. Over the next few days, I saw the miracle of transformation. When the butterfly finally emerged, drying its wings in the sun, I felt a sense of ownership. I hadn’t just watered a plant; I had protected a life. Years later, working as a high-speed data analyst, I often felt overwhelmed by the constant flow of information. It was like the hose — too fast, too much, blindly covering everything. One day, stressed and burnt out, I remembered the tin cup. I turned off my monitors and printed out just one complex dataset. I sat with it, pencil in hand, looking at every “leaf” of data. My boss was skeptical of my slow pace, until I found a critical error that the automated algorithms had missed. “How did you spot that?” he asked. I smiled, thinking of the tomato vine. “I stopped using the hose,” I said. 4. Why did the grandmother ask the author to water the garden with a tin cup? A. To save water during a drought. B. To punish the author for laziness. C. To encourage the author’s patience. D. To replace the broken hose. 5. What does “the small dramas of the garden” refer to in the second paragraph? A. The conflicts between different plants. B. The subtle and lively details of nature. C. The fascinating behaviors of garden creatures. D. The plays performed in the garden. 6. How did the author’s childhood experience influence his career? A. It made him focused and detailed. B. It directly inspired his career choice. C. It inspired him to take up gardening. D. It taught him to appreciate physical work. 7. Which is a suitable title for the text? A. The Joy of Slow Living B. A Lesson from the Tin Cup C. The Challenge of Data Analysis D. The Way of Watering the Garden C When a Los Angeles hospital authorized handwriting courses for its doctors, it highlighted a modern contradiction: in an era of digital perfection, the simple act of writing by hand remains critically important. The chief of staff explained to Science Daily, “Many of our physicians don’t write clearly.” The consequences can be severe, as seen in an unfortunate case where a chemist’s misreading of a doctor’s prescription (处方)led to a patient’s death. Even though many medical records are now stored on computers, physicians still spend a lot of their time writing notes on charts or writing prescriptions by hand. Clarity in handwriting isn’t merely an aid to communication. In some significant way, writing by hand primes the brain for learning to read. Psychologists Mueller and Oppenheimer found that “Laptop note takers’ tendency to write down lectures verbatim (逐字地) rather than processing information and reframing it in their own words has a negative effect on learning.” In their experiments, students typing notes processed information shallowly, while those writing by hand were forced to summarize, leading to better understanding. The slower pace of pen and paper acts as a cognitive filter, activating the brain for deeper comprehension. Yet, the skill is fading rapidly. Researchers worry that abandoning the pen for the keyboard will lead to any number of unforeseen negative consequences. Anne Mangen, who studies how technology transforms literacy, notes that typing, being more “abstract and unconnected,” could have profound implications; this decline is similar to a form of cultural pollution, a loss of a fundamental human capacity. A common misconception is that we have simply traded an inefficient tool for a superior one. However, like the loss of face-to-face interaction, this trade for efficiency comes at a hidden cost. We are sacrificing irrecoverable ways of learning and knowing. Ultimately, a child who masters the keyboard but cannot sign their name is not a symbol of progress. Handwriting is not a relic; it is a vital thread in the fabric of our cognition, and its wearing demands our immediate attention. 8. Why did the hospital introduce handwriting courses? A. To follow the latest handwriting trend. B. To prevent potential medical accidents. C. To improve doctors’ handwriting skills. D. To promote the use of handwritten records. 9. What can we learn from Mueller and Oppenheimer’s research? A. Typing facilitates meaningful understanding. B. Note-taking blocks verbatim comprehension. C. Keyboarding ensures higher learning efficiency. D. Handwriting benefits deeper cognitive engagement. 10. What is the cost of abandoning handwriting? A. The pollution of a traditional culture. B. The decline in communication efficiency. C. The over-reliance on modern technologies. D. The fading of an essential cognitive ability. 11. What does the author suggest we do? A. Preserve handwriting as a tradition. B. Encourage keyboard use in education. C. Value the crucial role of handwriting. D. Introduce handwriting courses widely. D From live speech translation in video calls to auto-dubbing on TikTok, real-time translation powered by artificial intelligence(AI) is now embedded in everyday life. All this raises a vital question. If machines can do this faster and more accurately than humans, is investing years in learning another language still worth it? Our recent study examined cognitive performance in 94 adults aged 18 to 83, using both visuospatial and auditory tasks across working memory, attention and inhibition. Put simply, we looked at how people process and respond to information they see or mentally map out in space(visuospatial) and information they hear(auditory). Examples include remembering sounds, focusing on visual patterns, or ignoring distractions. Our study measured multilingualism as a spectrum, not a category. This allowed us to capture diverse language backgrounds and experiences. Multilingual participants spoke a range of languages with varying levels of proficiency and daily use, reflecting the linguistic diversity common within multicultural communities. Across most tasks, multilinguals and monolinguals performed similarly. However, one pattern was striking. Individuals with richer, more diverse multilingual experience showed markedly better performance in visuospatial working memory. These effects were most pronounced in older people. This suggests that multilingual experience doesn’t broadly enhance cognition, like some headlines claim. Instead, it may help preserve specific functions over time. Separate population-level research has also linked multilingualism to later onset of Alzheimer’s disease and better overall ageing outcomes, though the mechanisms continue to be debated. Overall, however, it appears that sustained use of multiple languages represents a form of mental activity with effects that accumulate across a lifetime. AI translation excels at speed and accessibility. For many practical purposes, it works remarkably well. AI will continue to change how we engage with language learning. It can personalize instruction, minimize barriers and provide feedback at scale. But it can’t replace the cognitive work that comes from learning a language. This work builds and preserves the mental sharpness that sustains us across a lifetime. And this difference still matters. 12. Why does the author mention “live speech translation” and “auto-dubbing” in paragraph 1? A. To choose one as the topic. B. To invite further reflection. C. To recommend translation apps. D. To praise technological advances. 13. What do we know about the recent study? A. Its method is totally traditional. B. Its process is very time-consuming. C. Its subjects are distributed across ages. D. Its results match most previous claims. 14. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. AI translation excels in a wide range of aspects. B. AI will not shake the value of language learning. C. AI era greatly changes how people use a language. D. AI has a long way to go before doing cognitive work. 15. Where is the article most probably taken from? A. A science magazine. B. A local news update. C. A technological brochure. D. An English-learning guide. 第二节 阅读填空（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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 More than 30% of Gen Alpha children long to become social media creators, with around 32% of 12-15-year-olds naming “YouTuber” as their dream job. ____16____ This is where parental involvement becomes not just helpful, but vital, turning the risks into valuable teachable moments.

How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do. The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely. Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well. 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。 As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2026学年第一学期9月学情调研 英语 考试时间：120分钟 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A 【1~3题答案】 【答案】1.

Last year, I hiked along the ancient Silk Road in Xinjiang. Standing before a weathered beacon tower in the Gobi Desert, I sensed the loneliness of ancient guards. Running my fingers over the rough bricks, I felt centuries of dust come alive. Later, I was offered warm flatbread by a hospitable local Uyghur family. That far journey didn’t just open my eyes; it opened my heart to lives and stories no books could capture. That is the true reward of traveling far. Possible version 2: Travel Far, Know More The proverb “A person who travels far knows more” suggests stepping out of our comfort zone exposes us to realities beyond books. I learned this truth in a remote village, planting rice alongside locals. We worked for hours in the muddy fields, until my back ached and my legs were covered with mosquito bites. I came to help, but left knowing the cost of every grain and the warmth of strangers. I learned traveling far isn’t about distance, but about stepping into others’ life and reflecting on ours. 第二节 读后续写（共一节，满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】 As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared. Father’s appearing was like a savior to the two children. Under the guidance of their father, they took positive actions and started all over again. They made the bread and then went on cooking porridge. Father helped them adjust the fire, which was the key to success. It was all right this time. Delicious breakfast was ready. How happy they were! The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up. When their mother saw the delicious and perfect breakfast in front of her, she was very surprised. It was not only the gift, but the love of the children for her that moved her very much. The two children could finish cooking a breakfast, which she didn’t expect. The children said loudly, “Happy Mother’s Day!” Mother hugged them tightly and kissed them again and again. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
