Here are some odd events scheduled for 2026. Air Guitar World Championships (August 26-29, 2026) For 30 years, people have traveled from every continent to Oulu, Finland, to compete in the Air Guitar World Championships — performing on an instrument that doesn’t exist. The motto: “Make Air, Not War”. The philosophy: If everyone grabbed their air guitar and played, nobody could hold a gun, and the world would be a better place. National Storytelling Festival, Jonesborough, Tennessee (October 2-4, 2026) Jonesborough is Tennessee’s oldest town and the self-proclaimed “Storytelling Capital of the World”. The International Storytelling Center is headquartered here, and each October it hosts the National Storytelling Festival. Five big-top tents rise over the historic downtown, drawing more than 10,000 people to hear over 35 oral storytellers from around the world. Trailing of the Sheep Festival, Ketchum, Idaho (October 7-11, 2026) In Idaho’s Wood River Valley, a band of 1,200 sheep pours down Main Street in Ketchum each October in this five-day celebration — a river of wool. Thousands of people line the route to watch. The festival honors the 150-year-old annual tradition of moving sheep from high mountain summer pastures to winter grazing grounds in the south. The event includes a Sheep Folklife Fair, lamb culinary offerings, and National Qualifying Sheepdog Trials. Dickens on the Strand, Galveston, Texas (December 4-6, 2026) Galveston holds Victorian-era buildings constructed during the lifetime of Charles Dickens, the British author of A Christmas Carol. For one December weekend, the annual Dickens on the Strand transforms Galveston’s streets into Victorian London. No contemporary Christmas songs are allowed. Gas lamps line the route while stop signs hide beneath Dickens’s life story panels, and parking meters disappear under bags. 1. What is the main goal of the Air Guitar World Championships? A. To advocate peace. B. To train guitar players. C. To sell musical instruments. D. To mark Finland’s anniversary. 2. What does the National Storytelling Festival feature? A. International writing workshops. B. Five large circuses. C. Ancient building tours. D. Live oral tales. 3. In which festival can visitors find the effort to hide modern elements? A. Dickens on the Strand. B. National Storytelling Festival. C. Trailing of the Sheep Festival. D. Air Guitar World Championships. B “I am not crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. “I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine-combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine. Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets. Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment. Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal. That’s my job.” 4. What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him? A. He’s odd. B. He’s strict. C. He’s brave. D. He’s rude. 5. Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets? A. He was trained in it at university. B. He was inspired by another veterinarian. C. He benefited from it as a patient. D. He wanted to save money for pet owners. 6. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B. The complexity of veterinarians’ work. C. Examples of rare animal diseases. D. The effectiveness of holistic medicine. 7. Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association? A. To prove Farber’s point. B. To emphasize its importance. C. To praise veterinarians. D. To advocate animal protection. C When you were trying to figure out what to buy for the environmentalist on your holiday list, fur probably didn’t cross your mind. But some ecologists and fashion (时装)enthusiasts are trying to bring back the market for fur made from nutria(海狸鼠). Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have showcased nutria fur made into clothes in different styles. “It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur-unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year”, says Cree McCree, project director of Righteous Fur. Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters $5 a tail. Some of the fur ends up in the fashion shows like the one in Brooklyn last month. Nutria were brought there from Argentina by fur farmers and let go into the wild. “The ecosystem down there can’t handle this non-native species(物种).It’s destroying the environment. It’s them or us.” says Michael Massimi, an expert in this field. The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades，but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s，the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy. Biologist Edmond Mouton runs the nutria control program for Louisiana. He says it’s not easy to convince people that nutria fur is green, but he has no doubt about it. Hunters bring in more than 300,000 nutria tails a year, so part of Mouton’s job these days is trying to promote fur. Then there’s Righteous Fur and its unusual fashion. Model Paige Morgan says，”To give people a guilt-free option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on them-I think that’s going to be a massive thing, at least here in New York.” Designer Jennifer Anderson admits it took her a while to come around to the opinion that using nutria fur for her creations is morally acceptable. She is trying to come up with a label to attach to nutria fashions to show it is eco-friendly. 8. What is the purpose of the fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn? A. To promote guilt-free fur. B. To expand the fashion market. C. To introduce a new brand. D. To celebrate a winter holiday. 9. Why are scientists concerned about nutria? A. Nutria damage the ecosystem seriously. B. Nutria are an endangered species. C. Nutria hurt local cat-sized animals. D. Nutria are illegally hunted. 10. What does the underlined word “collapsed” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Boomed. B. Became mature. C. Remained stable. D. Crashed. 11. What can we infer about wearing fur in New York according to Morgan? A. It’s formal. B. It’s risky. C. It’s harmful. D. It’s traditional. 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（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5分，满分 12.5分） Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question: “Should I jump?” This is what motivation or the lack of it can do.

Unexpectedly, there was a time in my life when everything changed. A sunshine suddenly arose from my heart, opening its door to a new world where I was the key in helping those in need of a hand. I was a freshman in high school when I stepped in our local nursing home, complaining about having to volunteer there on weekends because my mom had asked me to. Anyway, when I pulled into the parking lot, I realized how different the place was. It was nice and clean with elders everywhere. As I checked in at the front desk for my first service hours, I received a stream of greetings from the surrounding people. It felt as good as breathing in love, which filled me with sudden warmth. Shelby, the lady in charge of community service, assigned me to watch for the elder in room 111. My job was to help with anything she needed. At first I thought this was the beginning of a nightmare, but it turned out to be something completely different. After listening to Shelby’s instructions, I walked toward my destination and knocked softly at the door, asking if I could come in. A voice came from inside answering yes. I stepped inside and introduced myself, with an explanation of why I was there. Meanwhile, I took a look around. The white walls were almost covered in picture frames. I could tell from the pictures she must have been a teacher before. While I was looking around, she introduced herself as Marie Brown, going to be 80 in two months. Her face marked by wrinkles of wisdom could really tell me her life story. “So you’ve been here for a while?” I asked. For a minute it was all silent, and then she answered yes with a very sad voice, adding that she had no family. Realizing I had asked the wrong question, I felt bad, for the first time, for hurting someone’ s feelings, especially this lonely elder’s. 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。 Seeing my embarrassment, Marie smiled at me and signed to me to sit by her. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Touched by her stories, I determined to give Marie care, company and even surprises. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026-2027学年第一学期阶段质量调研 高三英语 考试时间：150分钟 分值：150分 2026年9月 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。每段录音播放两遍。 1.What will the woman do next?

Here are some odd events scheduled for 2026. Air Guitar World Championships (August 26-29, 2026) For 30 years, people have traveled from every continent to Oulu, Finland, to compete in the Air Guitar World Championships — performing on an instrument that doesn’t exist. The motto: “Make Air, Not War”. The philosophy: If everyone grabbed their air guitar and played, nobody could hold a gun, and the world would be a better place. National Storytelling Festival, Jonesborough, Tennessee (October 2-4, 2026) Jonesborough is Tennessee’s oldest town and the self-proclaimed “Storytelling Capital of the World”. The International Storytelling Center is headquartered here, and each October it hosts the National Storytelling Festival. Five big-top tents rise over the historic downtown, drawing more than 10,000 people to hear over 35 oral storytellers from around the world. Trailing of the Sheep Festival, Ketchum, Idaho (October 7-11, 2026) In Idaho’s Wood River Valley, a band of 1,200 sheep pours down Main Street in Ketchum each October in this five-day celebration — a river of wool. Thousands of people line the route to watch. The festival honors the 150-year-old annual tradition of moving sheep from high mountain summer pastures to winter grazing grounds in the south. The event includes a Sheep Folklife Fair, lamb culinary offerings, and National Qualifying Sheepdog Trials. Dickens on the Strand, Galveston, Texas (December 4-6, 2026) Galveston holds Victorian-era buildings constructed during the lifetime of Charles Dickens, the British author of A Christmas Carol. For one December weekend, the annual Dickens on the Strand transforms Galveston’s streets into Victorian London. No contemporary Christmas songs are allowed. Gas lamps line the route while stop signs hide beneath Dickens’s life story panels, and parking meters disappear under bags. 1. What is the main goal of the Air Guitar World Championships? A.

International writing workshops. B. Five large circuses. C. Ancient building tours. D. Live oral tales. 3. In which festival can visitors find the effort to hide modern elements? A. Dickens on the Strand. B. National Storytelling Festival. C. Trailing of the Sheep Festival. D. Air Guitar World Championships. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了2026年全球四个独具特色的节日庆典，包括空气吉他世锦赛等。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Air Guitar World Championships (August 26-29, 2026)部分中“The motto: “Make Air, Not War”. The philosophy: If everyone grabbed their air guitar and played, nobody could hold a gun, and the world would be a better place. (活动口号：“奏响空气吉他，远离硝烟战火”。活动理念：倘若所有人都拿起空气吉他尽情演奏，就没人能持枪动武，世界也会变得更加美好。)”可知，该赛事的主要宗旨是倡导和平。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据National Storytelling Festival, Jonesborough, Tennessee (October 2-4, 2026)部分中“Five big-top tents rise over the historic downtown, drawing more than 10,000 people to hear over 35 oral storytellers from around the world.(五个大帐篷矗立在历史悠久的市中心，吸引了超过一万人前来聆听来自世界各地的超过35位口头讲故事者的表演。)”可知，该节日的特色在于现场口头讲故事。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Dickens on the Strand, Galveston, Texas (December 4-6, 2026)部分中“No contemporary Christmas songs are allowed. Gas lamps line the route while stop signs hide beneath Dickens’s life story panels, and parking meters disappear under bags.(不允许播放当代圣诞歌曲。煤气灯沿路排列，停车标志隐藏在狄更斯生平展板之下，停车计费表也被袋子遮盖起来。)”可知，在这个节日里，组织者刻意隐藏现代元素以还原维多利亚时代的氛围。 B “I am not crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. “I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods.

After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment. Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal. That’s my job.” 4. What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him? A. He’s odd. B. He’s strict. C. He’s brave. D. He’s rude. 5. Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets? A. He was trained in it at university. B. He was inspired by another veterinarian. C. He benefited from it as a patient. D. He wanted to save money for pet owners. 6. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B. The complexity of veterinarians’ work. C. Examples of rare animal diseases. D. The effectiveness of holistic medicine. 7. Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association? A. To prove Farber’s point. B. To emphasize its importance. C. To praise veterinarians. D. To advocate animal protection. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述兽医威廉·法伯(William Farber)博士在从针灸中受益后，将综合医疗应用于动物，并取得了初步成效。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods.( 如果他看起来有点戒备的姿态，那可能是因为他的一些同事偶尔会嘲笑他不寻常的方法。) ”可知，Farber的同事们有时会嘲笑他不寻常的方法，他们认为他很奇怪。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets.(然后，他尝试了针灸，这是一种古老的中国疗法，并惊讶地发现，经过两三次治疗，他的病情有所好转。对兽医有效的方法似乎对他的病人也有效。因此，在研究了这些技术几年后，他开始把它们提供给宠物。)”可知，Farber作为患者从针灸中受益，这促使他决定尝试在宠物上使用针灸。故选C。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段内容“Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment.(利·廷代尔的狗查理患有严重的心脏病。廷代尔说，查理心脏病发作后，她准备让他进入睡眠状态，但法伯的治疗大大减轻了她的狗的痛苦，她能够让它多活五个月。普里西拉·杜因(Priscilla Dewing)报告说，她的马纳皮(Nappy)经过脊椎按摩调整后，“行动更容易，乘车更舒服”。) ”可知，本段主要讲述了两个例子，一个是Farber通过整体医学方法帮助了患有严重心脏病的狗Charlie，另一个是马Nappy在接受脊椎按摩治疗后移动和骑行更为舒适。这些例子都是为了说明整体医学的有效性。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容“Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. ( 法伯确信，随着时间的推移，综合疗法会越来越受欢迎，如果过去有任何迹象的话，他可能是对的:自1982年以来，美国综合兽医协会的会员已经从30个增加到700多个。)”可知，法伯认为综合疗法会越来越受欢迎，随后作者列举了美国综合兽医协会的会员已经从30个增加到700多个的例子，因此推断美国整体兽医协会是为证明法伯的观点。故选A。 C When you were trying to figure out what to buy for the environmentalist on your holiday list, fur probably didn’t cross your mind. But some ecologists and fashion (时装)enthusiasts are trying to bring back the market for fur made from nutria(海狸鼠). Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have showcased nutria fur made into clothes in different styles. “It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur-unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year”, says Cree McCree, project director of Righteous Fur. Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters $5 a tail. Some of the fur ends up in the fashion shows like the one in Brooklyn last month. Nutria were brought there from Argentina by fur farmers and let go into the wild. “The ecosystem down there can’t handle this non-native species(物种).It’s destroying the environment. It’s them or us.” says Michael Massimi, an expert in this field. The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades，but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s，the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy. Biologist Edmond Mouton runs the nutria control program for Louisiana. He says it’s not easy to convince people that nutria fur is green, but he has no doubt about it. Hunters bring in more than 300,000 nutria tails a year, so part of Mouton’s job these days is trying to promote fur. Then there’s Righteous Fur and its unusual fashion. Model Paige Morgan says，”To give people a guilt-free option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on them-I think that’s going to be a massive thing, at least here in New York.” Designer Jennifer Anderson admits it took her a while to come around to the opinion that using nutria fur for her creations is morally acceptable. She is trying to come up with a label to attach to nutria fashions to show it is eco-friendly. 8. What is the purpose of the fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn? A. To promote guilt-free fur. B. To expand the fashion market. C. To introduce a new brand. D. To celebrate a winter holiday. 9. Why are scientists concerned about nutria? A. Nutria damage the ecosystem seriously. B. Nutria are an endangered species. C. Nutria hurt local cat-sized animals. D. Nutria are illegally hunted. 10. What does the underlined word “collapsed” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Boomed. B. Became mature. C. Remained stable. D. Crashed. 11. What can we infer about wearing fur in New York according to Morgan? A. It’s formal. B. It’s risky. C. It’s harmful. D. It’s traditional. 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是说明文。介绍了美国新奥良和布鲁克林举办了不同寻常的时装秀。展出海狸鼠制成的皮衣。海狸鼠们每年都在破坏大片的湿地，因此设计师称这是一种环保的举措，科学家们也对海狸鼠损坏生态平衡表示了担忧。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have showcased nutria fur made into clothes in different styles. “It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur-unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year,”says Cree McCree, project director of Righteous Fur.得知，美国新奥尔良和布鲁克林举办了不同寻常的时装秀，时装秀上展出海狸鼠皮制成的不同风格的衣服，项目总监Cree McCree说：“除非了解海狸鼠正每年破坏大片湿地，否则谈论无罪感皮衣是很疯狂的事情”，可以判断出由于海狸鼠对生态造成了巨大的破坏，这场海狸鼠皮衣时装秀销售的是无罪恶感皮衣。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters $5 a tail.得知，科学家们如此担心以至于他们决定按照一条海狸鼠尾巴付给猎人们5美元，可以推断出科学家们担忧海狸鼠们严重破坏生态平衡，。故选A。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第五段The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades, but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s,the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy. 得知，毛皮贸易使海狸鼠受到了几十年的控制，但是当海狸鼠市场在20世纪80年代末崩溃时，这种猫大小的动物数量疯长，根据but判断，这是转折关系，以前由于皮毛交易，海狸鼠处于控制，现在这种海狸鼠之所以能够数量激增，是由于市场不再销售海狸鼠皮毛导致的，可以推断出划线词collapsed 是和D.crashed倒闭的意思最相近。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段Model Paige Morgan says, “To give people a guilt –free option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on them-I think that’s going to be a massive thing, at least in New York. ” 得知，为了给人们一种无罪的选择，人们可以穿皮衣而不被人们泼油漆，我认为在纽约将是一件巨大的事情，根据模特摩根所说得知，在纽约穿皮质衣服是有风险的。故选B。 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. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要探讨人工智能实时翻译技术广泛应用催生的重要议题：在机器翻译愈发精准高效的当下，耗费数年学习一门外语是否依旧值得。文章依托一项针对 94 名成年人的认知研究，揭示长期使用多种语言对特定认知能力的益处，并提出：人工智能翻译无法取代语言学习带来的认知锻炼价值。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“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? (从视频通话中的实时语音翻译到TikTok上的自动配音，由人工智能驱动的实时翻译如今已融入日常生活。这一切提出了一个至关重要的问题。如果机器能够比人类更快、更准确地完成这些任务，那么投入数年时间学习另一门语言是否还值得呢？)”可知，作者提及这两个例子是为了引出“机器翻译如此高效，学习外语是否还值得”这一值得深思的问题，即邀请读者进一步思考。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“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. (我们最近的研究考察了94名18至83岁成年人的认知表现，使用了涉及工作记忆、注意力和抑制的视觉空间和听觉任务。)”可知，该研究的受试对象年龄跨度从18岁到83岁，涵盖了不同年龄段。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“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.

(AI翻译在速度和可及性方面表现出色。AI将继续改变我们与语言学习的互动方式，它能够实现个性化教学、减少障碍，并大规模提供反馈。但它无法取代学习语言所带来的认知训练。这种训练能够建立并维持伴随我们一生的思维敏锐度。这种差异仍然很重要。)”可知，本段主要说明AI翻译虽然强大，但不会动摇语言学习本身的价值。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章围绕一项关于多语言使用与认知功能的科学研究展开，涉及认知科学、神经科学和人口健康等学术话题，语言风格客观严谨，具有科学研究报告的特征。因此最有可能出自科学杂志。 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5分，满分 12.5分） Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question: “Should I jump?” This is what motivation or the lack of it can do. Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of same coin. ___16___ Like the child on the diving board, you will stay undecided. ___17___ More than that, how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal? First, you need to evaluate yourself, your values, your strengths, your weaknesses, your achievements, your desires, etc. Only then should you set your goals. You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation. This is quite important, because it is directly related to your commitment. There are times when your heart is not in your work. ___18___ So, slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment. Clarity(清晰) of thoughts can help you move forward. Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives, keeping in mind your beliefs, values and strengths. Remember that goals are flexible. ___19___ They also need to be measurable. You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals. Your personal circumstances are equally important. For example, you may want to be a pilot but can’t become one because your eyesight is not good enough. ___20___You should reassess your goals, and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal. You will surely need to overcome some difficulties, some planned, but most unplanned. You cannot overcome them without ample motivation. Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals. A. This can affect your work. B. So how should you motivate yourself? C. However, this should not discourage you. D. So why should we try to set specific goals? E. They can change according to circumstances. F. Motivation is what you need most to do a good job. G.

As a sci-fi fan, I firmly believe robots should not be given human emotions. First, emotions make humans who we are. If robots gain feelings, the line between humans and machines may become unclear, leading to identity confusion. Second, emotional robots might cause unexpected problems. For example, they could refuse to perform dangerous tasks due to fear or sadness, which puts humans at risk.

Unexpectedly, there was a time in my life when everything changed. A sunshine suddenly arose from my heart, opening its door to a new world where I was the key in helping those in need of a hand. I was a freshman in high school when I stepped in our local nursing home, complaining about having to volunteer there on weekends because my mom had asked me to. Anyway, when I pulled into the parking lot, I realized how different the place was. It was nice and clean with elders everywhere. As I checked in at the front desk for my first service hours, I received a stream of greetings from the surrounding people. It felt as good as breathing in love, which filled me with sudden warmth. Shelby, the lady in charge of community service, assigned me to watch for the elder in room 111. My job was to help with anything she needed. At first I thought this was the beginning of a nightmare, but it turned out to be something completely different. After listening to Shelby’s instructions, I walked toward my destination and knocked softly at the door, asking if I could come in. A voice came from inside answering yes. I stepped inside and introduced myself, with an explanation of why I was there. Meanwhile, I took a look around. The white walls were almost covered in picture frames. I could tell from the pictures she must have been a teacher before. While I was looking around, she introduced herself as Marie Brown, going to be 80 in two months. Her face marked by wrinkles of wisdom could really tell me her life story. “So you’ve been here for a while?” I asked. For a minute it was all silent, and then she answered yes with a very sad voice, adding that she had no family. Realizing I had asked the wrong question, I felt bad, for the first time, for hurting someone’ s feelings, especially this lonely elder’s. 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。 Seeing my embarrassment, Marie smiled at me and signed to me to sit by her. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Touched by her stories, I determined to give Marie care, company and even surprises. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Para 1: Seeing my embarrassment, Marie smiled at me and signed to me to sit by her. Saying softly, “Never mind, I’ve been used to it,” she patted me on the arm, attempting to cheer me up. Learning I was in high school, Marie was lost in thought and started to talk about her old days as a teacher, from which I could sense her deep love for her students. Then she showed the pictures hanging on the walls, excitedly sharing her stories concerning her students and proudly introducing what each of them was up to. Para 2: Touched by her stories, I determined to give Marie care, company and even surprises. I’d call on Marie, chatting with her and doing everything I could for her. On her 80th birthday, with the help of Shelby and other elders, I held a grand party and managed to invite some of her students to come. When I accompanied Marie into the party, all present rose, clapping smilingly and wishing her happy birthday. The big surprise brought excited tears to her eyes, her wrinkled face glowing with happiness. Bathed in the heart-warming atmosphere, I felt so delighted to have lit up an old teacher’s life and made a difference to her. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者曾经是一个冷血的人，只活在自己的世界里。有一次作者在妈妈的要求下周末去当地养老院做志愿者，认识了一个名叫Marie Brown的老人，她没有家人。作者在和Marie相处的过程中，被她的故事所感动，还为她举办了一个盛大的生日派对。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“看到我的尴尬，Marie对我笑了笑，示意我坐在她旁边。”可知，第一段可描写作者和Marie相处的经过，以及Marie讲述自己的过去。 ②由第二段首句内容“被她的故事感动了，我决定照顾Marie，陪伴她，甚至给她惊喜。”可知，第二段可描写作者为Marie举办生日派对的经过。 2.续写线索：Marie讲述自己的过去——Marie分享自己的故事——作者受到感动——作者为Marie举办派对——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 习惯：be used to/get used to 尝试：attempt to/ try to 决定：be determined to/ decide to 情绪类 感动：touched /moved 高兴：delighted / pleased 【点睛】[高分句型1] Learning I was in high school, Marie was lost in thought and started to talk about her old days as a teacher, from which I could sense her deep love for her students.
