As I squeezed my fingers into the handles, the paper turned into a mess. She sighed, “Try harder.” What she didn’t know was that I had just begun my lifelong fight against a world built for the right hand. That fight follows me everywhere. Lecture seats with desks on the right twist my body like a knot and leave handwriting that looks like a doctor’s notes. Scissors, zippers, notebooks and even door handles seem to work against us. When I took up guitar in college, my instructor looked at me as if I had done something strange. Apparently, left-handed guitars are “special order” — code for twice the price, half the sympathy. You’d think a few legends would change things. Paul McCartney flipped his bass and changed music forever. Rafael Nadal trained his left hand to become a tennis champion. Even Isaac Newton was left-handed. But no. Despite all these famous lefties, the world still treats us like some kind of oddity. My grandmother, for instance, once tied my left hand behind my back. “Use your right,” she ordered. I tried — and spilled a whole bowl of soup on the floor. She gave up, muttering, “Maybe she’s special.” I think she meant “hopeless.” Science, of course, has my back. Researchers say lefties are more creative and better at problem-solving. It’s no surprise we’re common among artists, musicians, and athletes. When you’ve spent your life wrestling with scissors and doorknobs that don’t fit, a blank page or a tennis racket feels like child’s play. Even so, the daily comedy continues. At restaurants, I’ve developed a sixth sense for table positioning — always to the left of right-handers. People still stare sometimes, but I’ve come to enjoy it. Being left-handed isn’t just about using a different hand — it’s about thinking differently, adapting constantly, and laughing through the chaos. After all, in a right-handed world, being left isn’t wrong — it’s just brilliantly inconvenient. 24. What do we know about the author’s guitar instructor? A. He thought her playing odd. B. He placed a special guitar order. C. He suggested changing her habit. D. He felt sympathy for left-handers. 25. Why does the author mention several celebrities? A. To celebrate influential figures. B. To show fame fails to end bias. C. To inspire disadvantaged groups. D. To prove ability earns recognition. 26. What strength do left-handers possess according to researchers? A. Natural talent for children’s games. B. Smooth adaptation to surroundings. C. Good command of regularly-used tools. D. Exceptional competence in solving problems. 27. What is the author’s present attitude towards being left-handed? A. Proud and casual. B. Relieved and optimistic. C. Confused and hesitant. D. Resigned and unconcerned. C Have you ever obeyed the suggestions of a digital writing assistant to replace a word or restructure a sentence? Before the appearance of digital tools, you’d probably have turned to a dictionary for the same assistance. Dictionaries enable us to write not with fail-safe convenience but with originality and a point of view. While AI assistants produce phrases and statements so writers don’t have to think them up, dictionaries provide us with the knowledge to use language ourselves in expressive and potentially infinite (无穷的) ways. They place choice and authority literally in human hands, forcing us to discover how we want to explain ourselves and our ideas to the world. The abundance of digital writing assistants gives greater urgency to debates about what a dictionary should be. In 1946, George Orwell described good writing as “picking out words for the sake of their meaning,” a practice that dictionaries facilitate while digital writing programs stifle. Writers consulting a dictionary make a choice, while writers guided by an app have their choices made for them. The digital-native approach delivers hands-off, derivative (衍生的) communication. The other requires leafing through pages without knowing exactly where you’ll end up. Without dictionaries to provide us with a guide to English’s potential, writing that way is nearly impossible. Our ability to express ourselves is critical — it helps us define who we are. Dictionaries aid us in achieving this: They categorize our unique ways of thinking through language. I’m a Canadian; my feeling of pride in my native land is enhanced by small verbal Canadianisms like “eaves trough” or “serviette”, which are well-documented in dictionaries but rarely used by AI chatbots, for the most part. As digital writing extends deeper into our lives and minds, we need dictionaries more than ever. Abandoning dictionaries and embracing mechanized writing would weaken our capacity for collective identity quite as much as the ability to express ourselves. 28. What might be a distinct feature of dictionaries according to the author? A. They promise fail-safe phrases. B. They possess academic authority. C. They facilitate creative writing. D. They provide ready-made expressions. 29. What does the underlined word “stifle” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Favor. B. Revise. C. Observe. D. Discourage. 30. Why does the author mention “eaves trough” and “serviette” in paragraph 4? A. To show how AI aids us in expressing. B. To indicate the weakness of dictionaries. C. To celebrate the diversity of Canadian English. D. To illustrate how language use affects identity. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why Keep Your Dictionary? B. How to Deal with Digital Writing? C. Who Uses Writing Assistants? D. What to Expect from Dictionaries? D Chinese scientists have developed a new refrigeration method that solves a long-standing challenge in cooling technology. Published in Nature, the study responds to rising energy demands in applications ranging from food preservation to data center cooling. Traditional vapor-compression systems consume vast amounts of electricity and rely on harmful refrigerants. In China, refrigeration accounts for nearly 20% of the nation’s electricity use and 7.8% of its carbon emissions (碳排放). While solid-state cooling avoids harmful gases, it suffers from poor heat transfer, limiting its real-world application. Led by Professor Li Bing from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the research team overcame this by combining solid cooling effects with liquid flow. They used a common, non-toxic salt whose dissolution (溶解) in water absorbs large amounts of heat. Conversely, applying pressure causes the salt to come out and release heat. Cycling this pressure achieves continuous cooling. “Unlike traditional solid methods, where heat moves slowly, our system integrates the refrigerant and heat-transfer medium into a single liquid,” Li said. “This solves the ‘impossible triangle’ — achieving low pollution, strong cooling, and fast heat transfer all at once.” Lab tests showed a temperature drop of nearly 30°C in just 20 seconds at room temperature, and up to 54°C at higher temperatures — significantly outperforming existing solid coolers. A prototype cycle achieved a cooling capacity of 67 joules per gram with nearly 77% efficiency. The system also proved stable, reversible, and instantly responsive to pressure changes. “This technology moves beyond traditional refrigeration principles,” Li added. “By turning the coolant into a fluid, it opens the door to high-performance, zero-emission cooling for homes and industry.” He noted the method’s strong high-temperature performance makes it an ideal candidate for heat management in next-generation AI computing facilities. While engineering challenges remain, especially in achieving rapidly switchable pressure cycles, the principle could be adapted to other materials for diverse cooling needs. 32. What is the main problem with traditional solid-state cooling systems? A. They transfer heat poorly. B. They produce harmful gases. C. They fail at high temperature. D. They use too much electricity. 33. What is the key innovation of the new cooling method? A. Using salt instead of chemical refrigerants. B. Increasing pressure inside traditional systems. C. Replacing pressure cycles with continuous flow. D. Combining solid cooling with liquid heat transfer. 34. Why does the author mention the “impossible triangle” in the text? A. To highlight the value of the new system. B. To illustrate the design of the new system. C. To explain why old systems are still in use. D. To show the limitations of previous systems. 35. What does Li Bing see as a promising application of the new technology? A. Preserving food in supply chains. B. Replacing traditional home refrigerators. C. Cooling future AI data centers. D. Achieving rapidly switchable pressure cycles. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 FOBO is short for “Fear of a Better Option”. We live in a world of overwhelming (过多的) choices. ____36____ Even the decisions that used to be simple, like choosing a restaurant or making everyday purchasing, are now filled with comparisons because of it. When you can’t make decisions with certainty, you waste precious time and energy. Luckily, there are ways to overcome FOBO. ____37____ This will determine your decision-making strategy. When it comes down to it, you only really face three types of decisions in life: no-stakes, low-stakes and high-stakes. Let’s start with no-stakes decisions. ____38____ A good example of this is choosing what to watch on TV. With thousands of shows, it is easy to get confused. However, no matter what you pick, there are no consequences. The key is to outsource them to the universe. For instance, you can narrow your choices to just two and then flip (抛) the coin. Then come the low-stakes decisions. These have risks, but none are earth-shattering, and there are plenty of acceptable outcomes. Many routine things at work, like purchasing a printer, or booking a hotel, are classically low-stakes in nature. ____39____ Set some basic criteria, select someone to present a suggestion, and take his advice. ____40____ These are things like “which house should I buy” or “which job should I accept”. Since the stakes are high and there are long-term effects, you absolutely want to get it right. Start by picking out a front-runner, and then compare each of your options with the front-runner, one by one. Each time, choose the better of the two and abandon the other one. Now repeat the process until you get down to one final choice. A. These are minor details of life. B. Here is the tip to avoid FOBO. C. This time you outsource to a person. D. You first have to think about the stakes. E. Technology has only made the problem more complicated. F. Now you have the space and time to handle high-stakes decisions. G. Your personal and professional life will be negatively influenced. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A group of senior high school graduates visited their old professor, eager to share postgraduation twists. As they chatted ____41____ in the cozy living room, swapping ambition and frustration stories, the professor ____42____ himself and went to the kitchen. Soon, he returned with a steaming pot of coffee and a tray of various cups. The cups were of all ____43____ — porcelain, glass, clay; some plain and dull, some ____44____ and exquisitely carved; a few inlaid with sparkling crystals. “Help yourselves to the coffee,” the professor said, eyes twinkling with purpose. The students ____45____ and picked up the tray, eager to seize the finest cups, each striving for one that ____46____ the rest. Plain, simple ones were left ____47____ on the tray edge, unworthy of notice. With cups filling with coffee in hand, the professor leaned back and spoke. “I’ve observed something telling,” he said, glancing at their chosen cups. “You all picked out the eye-catching cups, ____48____ the ordinary ones. But the cup itself adds no ____49____ to the coffee. You were so fixed on the container that you barely noticed the coffee’s rich fragrance.” The students fell silent, ____50____ by his words. The professor continued, “Life is coffee; jobs, wealth and status are ____51____. They are tools to ____52____ life, but cannot alter its ____53____. Fixing gaze on ‘cups’ makes you ____54____ missing life’s genuine joy — the quiet fulfillment that ____55____ our souls.” He paused, and then added softly, “The happiest don’t have the best of everything. They simply make the best of what they have.” The students nodded, grasping the lesson hidden in a cup of coffee. 41. A. enthusiastically B. coldly C. cautiously D. awfully 42. A. adjusted B. relaxed C. behaved D. excused 43. A. sorts B. depths C. heights D. widths 44. A. awkward B. fancy C. fragile D. faded 45.

Once ____56____ (dismiss) as a niche (小众的) convenience, they now range from semi-finished stir-fries to fully cooked meals that only need reheating. In the past few years, the category ____57____ (balloon) into a multibillion-yuan industry, fueled by busier lifestyles, advances in processing and official support that has turned ____58____ began as a consumer trend into a strategic priority. ____59____ (analyst) expect the market’s value to top 749 billion yuan by 2026. Investors have piled in: from food processors to cold-chain logistics (物流) providers. The latter ____60____ (be) critical. Without reliable refrigeration, the promise of scale collapses. Progress has been made, but gaps remain in building ____61____ cost-effective distribution network. Policy has kept pace. In 2022 Guangdong issued “Ten Measures” ____62____ (promote) the sector while in 2023, the central government mentioned pre-prepared meals in its annual No.1 Document, ____63____ (place) them on the national strategic agenda. Yet that same year laid bare the lack of comprehensive national standards, sparking calls for ____64____ (clear) definitions and tighter oversight. Regulators face a delicate balance: encourage innovation while protecting consumers. The challenge is to ensure that the appeal ____65____ convenience does not come at the cost of nutrition, quality or the authenticity (地道性) that makes cuisine so central to culture. 第三部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 应用文写作（满分15分） 66. 假定你是李华，请你向学校英文报‌“Critical Thinking”栏目投稿，以‌“How to avoid being replaced by AI”为题，阐述作为学生当下我们需要怎么做才能避免未来被人工智能取代，内容包括： 1.介绍AI发展现状； 2.陈述措施。 要求： 1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 How to Avoid Being Replaced by AI ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节（满分25分） 67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 It was a typical busy noon at the downtown fast-food spot. The smell of sizzling patties and crispy fries lingered (弥漫) in the air, and the place was packed with folks rushing to grab a quick meal. I’d just gotten off a long morning at work, and my stomach was empty as I finally reached the front of the line and got my order-a burger, fries, and a cold drink. As I set the tray (托盘) down on a small table by the window, I glanced over and saw two firefighters in the corner. Their uniforms were heavy with faint spots, like they’d just stepped away from a smoky scene, and their boots still held a hint of damp from the morning dew. They stood in the back of the line, shoulders relaxed but eyes tired. I was just about to pick up my burger-the cheese melted perfectly-when a loud, sharp siren (警报) cut through the noise of the restaurant. The two firefighters froze for half a second, and then moved. No hesitation, no exchange of words — just muscle memory. One grabbed his helmet off the nearby counter, the other adjusted his radio on his shoulder, and they turned toward the door, their steps quickening. I watched them go, and my fork paused mid-air. My empty stomach served as a quiet reminder of how long I’d waited for this meal. I’d stood in that line for 15 minutes, my feet aching from the morning’s work. Giving them my lunch meant I would have to wait again-maybe another line, maybe my break slipping away faster. I bit my lip, staring at the tray. Then I thought of their uniforms, the spots, the way they’d act upon hearing the siren like it was a call they couldn’t ignore. They didn’t get to pause for a meal when emergencies hit. They’d probably go hours without eating, running from one call to the next. 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。 My hesitation melted away. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went back to the counter, only to find the manager was waiting for me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 濮阳市一高高三年级（2024级）上学期第二次质量检测 英语试卷 （时间：120分钟 满分：150分） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。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，并标在试卷的相应位置。每段对话读两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What will the speakers do together?

As I squeezed my fingers into the handles, the paper turned into a mess. She sighed, “Try harder.” What she didn’t know was that I had just begun my lifelong fight against a world built for the right hand. That fight follows me everywhere. Lecture seats with desks on the right twist my body like a knot and leave handwriting that looks like a doctor’s notes. Scissors, zippers, notebooks and even door handles seem to work against us. When I took up guitar in college, my instructor looked at me as if I had done something strange. Apparently, left-handed guitars are “special order” — code for twice the price, half the sympathy. You’d think a few legends would change things. Paul McCartney flipped his bass and changed music forever. Rafael Nadal trained his left hand to become a tennis champion. Even Isaac Newton was left-handed. But no. Despite all these famous lefties, the world still treats us like some kind of oddity. My grandmother, for instance, once tied my left hand behind my back. “Use your right,” she ordered. I tried — and spilled a whole bowl of soup on the floor. She gave up, muttering, “Maybe she’s special.” I think she meant “hopeless.” Science, of course, has my back. Researchers say lefties are more creative and better at problem-solving. It’s no surprise we’re common among artists, musicians, and athletes. When you’ve spent your life wrestling with scissors and doorknobs that don’t fit, a blank page or a tennis racket feels like child’s play. Even so, the daily comedy continues. At restaurants, I’ve developed a sixth sense for table positioning — always to the left of right-handers. People still stare sometimes, but I’ve come to enjoy it. Being left-handed isn’t just about using a different hand — it’s about thinking differently, adapting constantly, and laughing through the chaos. After all, in a right-handed world, being left isn’t wrong — it’s just brilliantly inconvenient. 24. What do we know about the author’s guitar instructor? A. He thought her playing odd. B. He placed a special guitar order. C. He suggested changing her habit. D. He felt sympathy for left-handers. 25. Why does the author mention several celebrities? A. To celebrate influential figures. B. To show fame fails to end bias. C. To inspire disadvantaged groups. D. To prove ability earns recognition. 26. What strength do left-handers possess according to researchers? A. Natural talent for children’s games. B. Smooth adaptation to surroundings. C. Good command of regularly-used tools. D. Exceptional competence in solving problems. 27. What is the author’s present attitude towards being left-handed? A. Proud and casual. B. Relieved and optimistic. C. Confused and hesitant. D. Resigned and unconcerned. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述身为左撇子在生活、学习中遭遇诸多不便与偏见，科研表明左撇子更具创造力，作者最终乐观接纳自身不同。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When I took up guitar in college, my instructor looked at me as if I had done something strange.(在大学里我开始学习吉他时，我的老师看着我，仿佛我在做一件很奇怪的事情)”可知，作者的吉他老师觉得她的演奏很奇怪。故选A。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“You’d think a few legends would change things. Paul McCartney flipped his bass and changed music forever. Rafael Nadal trained his left hand to become a tennis champion. Even Isaac Newton was left-handed. But no. Despite all these famous lefties, the world still treats us like some kind of oddity.(你可能会认为一些传奇人物的出现能够改变一切。保罗·麦卡特尼把贝司翻转过来演奏，从而彻底改变了音乐的走向。拉斐尔·纳达尔通过训练左手成为了网球冠军。就连艾萨克·牛顿也是左撇子。但事实并非如此。尽管有这么多著名的左撇子，这个世界却仍然把我们当作某种怪异的存在来对待)”可知，作者提及几位名人是为了表明名声无法消除偏见。故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Science, of course, has my back. Researchers say lefties are more creative and better at problem-solving.(当然，科学是站在我们这边的。研究人员表示，左撇子更具创造力，也更擅长解决问题)”可知，研究人员称左撇子具有解决问题的非凡能力。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Being left-handed isn’t just about using a different hand — it’s about thinking differently, adapting constantly, and laughing through the chaos. After all, in a right-handed world, being left isn’t wrong — it’s just brilliantly inconvenient.(左撇子并非仅仅意味着使用不同的手——它还意味着思维方式的差异、不断适应变化以及在混乱中保持乐观。毕竟，在一个以右手为主的世界里，左撇子并非错误——只是极其不便罢了)”可知，作者对于自己是左撇子这一事实如释重负且乐观。故选B。 C Have you ever obeyed the suggestions of a digital writing assistant to replace a word or restructure a sentence? Before the appearance of digital tools, you’d probably have turned to a dictionary for the same assistance. Dictionaries enable us to write not with fail-safe convenience but with originality and a point of view. While AI assistants produce phrases and statements so writers don’t have to think them up, dictionaries provide us with the knowledge to use language ourselves in expressive and potentially infinite (无穷的) ways. They place choice and authority literally in human hands, forcing us to discover how we want to explain ourselves and our ideas to the world. The abundance of digital writing assistants gives greater urgency to debates about what a dictionary should be. In 1946, George Orwell described good writing as “picking out words for the sake of their meaning,” a practice that dictionaries facilitate while digital writing programs stifle. Writers consulting a dictionary make a choice, while writers guided by an app have their choices made for them. The digital-native approach delivers hands-off, derivative (衍生的) communication. The other requires leafing through pages without knowing exactly where you’ll end up. Without dictionaries to provide us with a guide to English’s potential, writing that way is nearly impossible. Our ability to express ourselves is critical — it helps us define who we are. Dictionaries aid us in achieving this: They categorize our unique ways of thinking through language. I’m a Canadian; my feeling of pride in my native land is enhanced by small verbal Canadianisms like “eaves trough” or “serviette”, which are well-documented in dictionaries but rarely used by AI chatbots, for the most part. As digital writing extends deeper into our lives and minds, we need dictionaries more than ever. Abandoning dictionaries and embracing mechanized writing would weaken our capacity for collective identity quite as much as the ability to express ourselves. 28. What might be a distinct feature of dictionaries according to the author? A. They promise fail-safe phrases. B. They possess academic authority. C. They facilitate creative writing. D. They provide ready-made expressions. 29. What does the underlined word “stifle” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Favor. B. Revise. C. Observe. D. Discourage. 30. Why does the author mention “eaves trough” and “serviette” in paragraph 4? A. To show how AI aids us in expressing. B. To indicate the weakness of dictionaries. C. To celebrate the diversity of Canadian English. D. To illustrate how language use affects identity. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why Keep Your Dictionary? B. How to Deal with Digital Writing? C. Who Uses Writing Assistants? D. What to Expect from Dictionaries? 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章通过对比数字写作助手和字典指出，在数字写作普及的当下，字典对保留写作原创性、塑造身份认同有不可替代的作用，最后点明我们比以往更需要字典。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Dictionaries enable us to write not with fail-safe convenience but with originality and a point of view.(词典让我们写作时并非依靠万无一失的便捷，而是能够展现独特性和观点)”可知，字典能帮助我们写出有原创性的内容。故选C。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前“a practice that dictionaries facilitate(字典促进这种做法)”和“while”表示的对比关系可知，stifle和facilitate含义相反，即“抑制、阻碍”，选项中discourage“阻拦、使气馁”意思一致。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。第四段开头“Our ability to express ourselves is critical — it helps us define who we are. Dictionaries aid us in achieving this: They categorize our unique ways of thinking through language.(我们表达自我的能力至关重要——它帮助我们定义自己是谁。词典有助于我们实现这一目标：它们通过语言将我们独特的思维方式进行分类)”点明观点：表达自我的能力帮助我们定义自身身份，字典能帮我们保留独有的语言表达。下文“I’m a Canadian; my feeling of pride in my native land is enhanced by small verbal Canadianisms like “eaves trough” or “serviette”, which are well-documented in dictionaries but rarely used by AI chatbots, for the most part.(我是加拿大人；我对祖国的自豪感因一些小小的加拿大式词汇而得到增强，比如“檐沟”或“餐巾纸”，这些词汇在词典中有详细记载，但在大多数情况下，人工智能聊天机器人很少使用它们)”作者举这两个加拿大特有的词汇，是为了说明：这类特有语言能增强本土身份认同感，即语言使用会影响个人/群体身份。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合最后一段“As digital writing extends deeper into our lives and minds, we need dictionaries more than ever. Abandoning dictionaries and embracing mechanized writing would weaken our capacity for collective identity quite as much as the ability to express ourselves.(随着数字写作深入我们的生活和思维，我们对词典的需求比以往任何时候都更加迫切。放弃词典而转向机械化写作，将同等程度地削弱我们建立集体认同的能力和表达自我的能力)”可知，全文对比数字写作助手和字典，层层论述：在数字写作普及的当下，字典对保留写作原创性、塑造身份认同有不可替代的作用，结尾点明我们比以往更需要字典。由此可知，A项“为什么要保留字典？”适合作本文标题。故选A。 D Chinese scientists have developed a new refrigeration method that solves a long-standing challenge in cooling technology. Published in Nature, the study responds to rising energy demands in applications ranging from food preservation to data center cooling. Traditional vapor-compression systems consume vast amounts of electricity and rely on harmful refrigerants. In China, refrigeration accounts for nearly 20% of the nation’s electricity use and 7.8% of its carbon emissions (碳排放). While solid-state cooling avoids harmful gases, it suffers from poor heat transfer, limiting its real-world application. Led by Professor Li Bing from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the research team overcame this by combining solid cooling effects with liquid flow. They used a common, non-toxic salt whose dissolution (溶解) in water absorbs large amounts of heat. Conversely, applying pressure causes the salt to come out and release heat. Cycling this pressure achieves continuous cooling. “Unlike traditional solid methods, where heat moves slowly, our system integrates the refrigerant and heat-transfer medium into a single liquid,” Li said. “This solves the ‘impossible triangle’ — achieving low pollution, strong cooling, and fast heat transfer all at once.” Lab tests showed a temperature drop of nearly 30°C in just 20 seconds at room temperature, and up to 54°C at higher temperatures — significantly outperforming existing solid coolers. A prototype cycle achieved a cooling capacity of 67 joules per gram with nearly 77% efficiency. The system also proved stable, reversible, and instantly responsive to pressure changes. “This technology moves beyond traditional refrigeration principles,” Li added. “By turning the coolant into a fluid, it opens the door to high-performance, zero-emission cooling for homes and industry.” He noted the method’s strong high-temperature performance makes it an ideal candidate for heat management in next-generation AI computing facilities. While engineering challenges remain, especially in achieving rapidly switchable pressure cycles, the principle could be adapted to other materials for diverse cooling needs. 32. What is the main problem with traditional solid-state cooling systems? A. They transfer heat poorly. B. They produce harmful gases. C. They fail at high temperature. D. They use too much electricity. 33. What is the key innovation of the new cooling method? A. Using salt instead of chemical refrigerants. B. Increasing pressure inside traditional systems. C. Replacing pressure cycles with continuous flow. D. Combining solid cooling with liquid heat transfer. 34. Why does the author mention the “impossible triangle” in the text? A. To highlight the value of the new system. B. To illustrate the design of the new system. C. To explain why old systems are still in use. D. To show the limitations of previous systems. 35. What does Li Bing see as a promising application of the new technology? A. Preserving food in supply chains. B. Replacing traditional home refrigerators. C. Cooling future AI data centers. D. Achieving rapidly switchable pressure cycles. 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲的是中国科学家开发出一种结合固体冷却效应与液体流动的新型制冷方法，解决了传统固态制冷技术传热效率低的核心难题，实现了低污染、强冷却和快速传热的平衡，并在实验室测试中展现出显著的温降性能与高能效比。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“While solid-state cooling avoids harmful gases, it suffers from poor heat transfer, limiting its real-world application. (虽然固态冷却避免了有害气体的排放，但其传热效果不佳，限制了其在实际应用中的推广。)”可知，传统固态冷却系统的主要问题是它们散热效果不佳。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Led by Professor Li Bing from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the research team overcame this by combining solid cooling effects with liquid flow. (由中国科学院的李兵教授领导的研究团队通过将固态冷却效果与液体流动相结合克服了这一难题。)”和第四段““Unlike traditional solid methods, where heat moves slowly, our system integrates the refrigerant and heat-transfer medium into a single liquid,” Li said. (李教授表示：“与传统的固态方法不同，我们的系统将制冷剂和传热介质整合到了一种单一的液体中，这样热量的传递就变得迅速得多。”)”可知，创新在于将固态冷却效应与液态传热结合。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“This solves the ‘impossible triangle’ — achieving low pollution, strong cooling, and fast heat transfer all at once. (这解决了‘不可能的三角形’问题——同时实现低污染、强冷却和快速散热。)”可知，此处引用这一概念是为了凸显新系统同时兼顾了以往技术难以兼得的三个优势，从而突出其创新价值与突破性。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“He noted the method’s strong high-temperature performance makes it an ideal candidate for heat management in next-generation AI computing facilities. (他指出，该方法在高温方面的出色表现使其成为下一代人工智能计算设施中热管理的理想选择。)”可知，这项新技术可以冷却未来的人工智能数据中心。 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 FOBO is short for “Fear of a Better Option”. We live in a world of overwhelming (过多的) choices. ____36____ Even the decisions that used to be simple, like choosing a restaurant or making everyday purchasing, are now filled with comparisons because of it. When you can’t make decisions with certainty, you waste precious time and energy. Luckily, there are ways to overcome FOBO. ____37____ This will determine your decision-making strategy. When it comes down to it, you only really face three types of decisions in life: no-stakes, low-stakes and high-stakes. Let’s start with no-stakes decisions. ____38____ A good example of this is choosing what to watch on TV. With thousands of shows, it is easy to get confused. However, no matter what you pick, there are no consequences. The key is to outsource them to the universe. For instance, you can narrow your choices to just two and then flip (抛) the coin. Then come the low-stakes decisions. These have risks, but none are earth-shattering, and there are plenty of acceptable outcomes. Many routine things at work, like purchasing a printer, or booking a hotel, are classically low-stakes in nature. ____39____ Set some basic criteria, select someone to present a suggestion, and take his advice. ____40____ These are things like “which house should I buy” or “which job should I accept”. Since the stakes are high and there are long-term effects, you absolutely want to get it right. Start by picking out a front-runner, and then compare each of your options with the front-runner, one by one. Each time, choose the better of the two and abandon the other one. Now repeat the process until you get down to one final choice. A. These are minor details of life. B. Here is the tip to avoid FOBO. C. This time you outsource to a person. D. You first have to think about the stakes. E. Technology has only made the problem more complicated. F. Now you have the space and time to handle high-stakes decisions. G. Your personal and professional life will be negatively influenced. 【答案】36. E 37. D 38. A 39. C 40. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍 FOBO（更好选择恐惧症）的定义、影响，以及针对不同风险等级的决策给出具体应对方法。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据上文“FOBO is short for “Fear of a Better Option” We live in a world of overwhelming choices. (FOBO 是 更好选择恐惧症”的缩写，我们生活在一个选择过多的世界里)”和下文“Even the decisions that used to be simple, like choosing a restaurant or making everyday purchasing, are now filled with comparisons because of it. (即使是过去很简单的决定，比如选择餐厅或日常采购，现在也因为它而充满了比较)” 可知，空格处需衔接“选择过多”和 “简单决定变得复杂”，E选项“Technology has only made the problem more complicated. (科技只会让这个问题变得更复杂)”中的 the problem指代前文“选择过多”的问题，且more complicated与后文“简单决定充满比较”相呼应，符合语境。故选E项。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据上文“Luckily, there are ways to overcome FOBO. (幸运的是，有方法可以克服更好选择恐惧症。)” 和下文“This will determine your decision-making strategy. (这将决定你的决策策略)”可知，空格处需引出克服FOBO的方法，且与“决策策略”相关，D选项“You first have to think about the stakes. (你首先必须考虑风险)”既承接前文的“克服方法”，又为后文“根据风险分类决策”做铺垫，符合语境。故选D项。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据上文“Let’s start with no-stakes decisions. (我们从无风险决策开始)”和下文“A good example of this is choosing what to watch on TV. (一个很好的例子就是选择看什么电视节目)”可知，空格处需解释“无风险决策”的特点，A选项“These are minor details of life. (这些都是生活中的小细节)”中的these指代前文的“无风险决策”，且“小细节”与后文“看电视节目”的例子相匹配，符合语境。故选A项。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据上文“Many routine things at work, like purchasing a printer, or booking a hotel, are classically low-stakes in nature. (工作中许多日常事务，比如购买打印机或预订酒店，本质上都是典型的低风险决策)”和下文“Set some basic criteria, select someone to present a suggestion, and take his advice. (制定一些基本标准，选择一个人提出建议，并采纳他的意见)”可知，空格处需衔接“低风险决策”和“采纳他人建议”，C选项“This time you outsource to a person. (这次你可以把决策委托给别人)”中的outsource to a person与后文select someone to present a suggestion相呼应，符合语境。故选C项。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据下文“These are things like “which house should I buy” or “which job should I accept”. Since the stakes are high and there are long-term effects (这些事情比如“我应该买哪套房子”或“我应该接受哪份工作”，因为风险高且有长期影响)”结合前文先介绍无风险、再介绍低风险的逻辑可知，本段介绍的是“高风险决策”，F选项“Now you have the space and time to handle high-stakes decisions. (现在你有空间和时间来处理高风险决策了)”既承接前文的决策分类，又引出本段的高风险决策，符合语境。故选F项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A group of senior high school graduates visited their old professor, eager to share postgraduation twists. As they chatted ____41____ in the cozy living room, swapping ambition and frustration stories, the professor ____42____ himself and went to the kitchen. Soon, he returned with a steaming pot of coffee and a tray of various cups.

Once ____56____ (dismiss) as a niche (小众的) convenience, they now range from semi-finished stir-fries to fully cooked meals that only need reheating. In the past few years, the category ____57____ (balloon) into a multibillion-yuan industry, fueled by busier lifestyles, advances in processing and official support that has turned ____58____ began as a consumer trend into a strategic priority. ____59____ (analyst) expect the market’s value to top 749 billion yuan by 2026.

In 2022 Guangdong issued “Ten Measures” ____62____ (promote) the sector while in 2023, the central government mentioned pre-prepared meals in its annual No.1 Document, ____63____ (place) them on the national strategic agenda.

Regulators face a delicate balance: encourage innovation while protecting consumers.

Analysts 60. are 61. a 62. to promote 63. placing 64. clearer 65. of 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了中国预制菜市场的崛起、发展现状、面临的挑战及政策支持等情况。 【56题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：曾经被视为小众便利食品的预制菜，如今从半成品炒菜到只需加热的成品菜肴应有尽有。once引导的状语从句中的主语和主句一致且含有be动词，所以可以省略从句的主语they和be动词，dismiss与they之间是被动关系，所以空处需用过去分词。故填dismissed。 【57题详解】 考查时态。句意：在过去的几年里，由于生活节奏加快、加工技术的进步以及官方支持，这一类别已经膨胀成为一个价值数十亿元的产业，将最初的消费趋势转变为战略重点。根据时间状语In the past few years可知，空处谓语动词需用现在完成时态：have/has done，主语为category，所以此处助动词需用has。故填has ballooned。 【58题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意同上。空处需用连接词引导宾语从句，从句中缺少主语，表示“……的事物”，所以空处需用连接代词what引导宾语从句。故填what。 【59题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：分析师预计，到2026年，该市场的价值将超过7490亿元。空处需用名词作主语，analyst“分析师”，可数名词，此处表示泛指，且其前没有限定词，所以空处名词需用其复数形式，句首首字母需大写。故填Analysts。 【60题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：后者至关重要。根据后一句谓语动词collapse可知，空处描述客观事实，谓语动词需用一般现在时态。主语The latter指代前文“cold-chain logistics providers”，为复数，be需用复数形式are。故填are。 【61题详解】 考查冠词。句意：虽然已经取得了进展，但在建立一个具有成本效益的配送网络方面仍存在差距。空处需用不定冠词a/an泛指一个具有成本效益的配送网络，cost-effective是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以空处需用不定冠词a。故填a。 【62题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：2022年，广东出台了“十条措施”来促进该行业的发展，而2023年中央政府在其年度一号文件中提到了预制菜，将其列入国家战略议程。空处需用非谓语动词作目的状语，所以空处需用动词不定式。故填to promote。 【63题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意同上。本句已有谓语动词mentioned，且空处没有连词，所以空处需用非谓语动词作状语，空处动词place与句子主语之间是主动关系，所以空处需用现在分词作状语。故填placing。 【64题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：然而，同年也暴露出缺乏全面的国家标准，引发了人们对更明确定义和更严格监管的呼吁。根据空后tighter oversight可知，空处需用形容词比较级clearer，表示更明确的定义。故填clearer。 【65题详解】 考查介词。句意：挑战在于确保便利的吸引力不会以牺牲营养、质量或使烹饪成为文化核心的地道性为代价。the appeal of... 为固定搭配，意为 “…… 的吸引力”，此处指 “便利性的吸引力”，符合语境。故填 of。 第三部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 应用文写作（满分15分） 66. 假定你是李华，请你向学校英文报‌“Critical Thinking”栏目投稿，以‌“How to avoid being replaced by AI”为题，阐述作为学生当下我们需要怎么做才能避免未来被人工智能取代，内容包括： 1.介绍AI发展现状； 2.陈述措施。 要求： 1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 How to Avoid Being Replaced by AI ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 How to Avoid Being Replaced by AI Advancing at a rapid pace, AI is transforming the world by performing a wide range of tasks, which causes concerns among those who fear potential job displacement.

The smell of sizzling patties and crispy fries lingered (弥漫) in the air, and the place was packed with folks rushing to grab a quick meal. I’d just gotten off a long morning at work, and my stomach was empty as I finally reached the front of the line and got my order-a burger, fries, and a cold drink. As I set the tray (托盘) down on a small table by the window, I glanced over and saw two firefighters in the corner. Their uniforms were heavy with faint spots, like they’d just stepped away from a smoky scene, and their boots still held a hint of damp from the morning dew. They stood in the back of the line, shoulders relaxed but eyes tired. I was just about to pick up my burger-the cheese melted perfectly-when a loud, sharp siren (警报) cut through the noise of the restaurant. The two firefighters froze for half a second, and then moved. No hesitation, no exchange of words — just muscle memory. One grabbed his helmet off the nearby counter, the other adjusted his radio on his shoulder, and they turned toward the door, their steps quickening. I watched them go, and my fork paused mid-air. My empty stomach served as a quiet reminder of how long I’d waited for this meal. I’d stood in that line for 15 minutes, my feet aching from the morning’s work. Giving them my lunch meant I would have to wait again-maybe another line, maybe my break slipping away faster. I bit my lip, staring at the tray. Then I thought of their uniforms, the spots, the way they’d act upon hearing the siren like it was a call they couldn’t ignore. They didn’t get to pause for a meal when emergencies hit. They’d probably go hours without eating, running from one call to the next. 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。 My hesitation melted away. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went back to the counter, only to find the manager was waiting for me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 My hesitation melted away. I grabbed the tray and hurried after the two firefighters, calling out softly, “Excuse me!” They paused at the door, turning with slight surprise. I held out the tray, smiling, “You guys must be in a rush — take this. It’s not much, but it’ll keep you going.” One of them hesitated for a second, then nodded gratefully, taking the tray. “Thank you, really,” he said, before they rushed out into the street, the siren growing louder as they went. I stood there for a moment, my stomach still growling, but my chest felt light. I went back to the counter, only to find the manager was waiting for me. He smiled warmly, holding up a new tray with a burger, fries, and a drink. “Saw what you did for the firefighters,” he said, handing it over. “This one’s on the house. We need more people like you.” I was shocked, then grateful, taking the tray. “Thank you so much,” I replied. As I sat back down by the window, biting into the burger, the taste felt sweeter than before. Sometimes, giving up a small thing didn’t just help others — it filled your own heart, too. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述市中心快餐店午间繁忙，作者下班后买了午餐，看到两位刚可能出完任务、面露疲惫的消防员排队。警报响起，消防员立刻行动，作者虽不舍排队换来的午餐，但想到他们应急时难以吃饭，内心纠结。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①根据第一段首句“我的犹豫消失了。”可知，下文可描写作者追上两名消防员并把自己的食物拿给他们，消防员表示感谢，作者虽然饿着，但心情舒畅。 ②根据第二段首句“我回到柜台，却发现经理正在等我。”可知，接下来可描写经理被作者的行为感动，为作者准备好了餐食，以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：犹豫消失——追上消防员——递上食物——消防员感激——作者心情舒畅——老板等着作者——递给作者准备好的食物——解释原因——作者感悟 3.词类激活 行为类 ①抓住：grab/get hold of ②看见：see/notice ③回答：reply/respond 情绪类 ①感激地：gratefully/with gratitude ②心情舒畅的：feel light/feel lighthearted 【点睛】【高分句型1】They paused at the door, turning with slight surprise.（运用了现在分词作状语） 【高分句型2】I stood there for a moment, my stomach still growling, but my chest felt light.（运用了独立主格结构） 【高分句型3】 As I sat back down by the window, biting into the burger, the taste felt sweeter than before.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。请看听力部分第一节，第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Well, there are few things in the fridge.
