They always focus on an awkward sentence, a short stop while speaking, or a not quite right comment. Even if the mistake is so small that it won’t change the final result, they keep thinking about that moment again and again in their heads. They blame (责备) themselves for not doing things perfectly. Most people believe thinking over things many times shows they are careful and that it will help them become better. Yet for these harmless small mistakes, too much thinking offers no new lessons. Usually people have already seen where they went wrong. When necessary, they have said sorry or given explanations to make up for what they did. Actually, repeatedly thinking about small mistakes is no longer helpful self-checking. It becomes useless self-blame. This comes from a strong habit of wanting everything perfect. It drives people to go for goals no common person can reach. What makes this circle of bad thoughts even more useless is the spotlight effect. People wrongly think others will see their little embarrassing moments and form bad opinions about them. In truth, most people spend most of their time worrying about their own weak points and mistakes. That uncomfortable moment that troubles you for days may escape other people’s memory very soon. Stopping this kind of bad thinking does not mean refusing to face your mistakes. You just need to know helpful self-correction is different from useless repeated thinking inside your mind. One simple rule: think about whether this mistake will count much in the future. If something must be done right away, solve it completely at once. If not, leave it behind. Real progress comes from giving up regrets that bring nothing good. Learning to treat yourself well and accept that no human is perfect is an important lesson as we grow up. 4. Why do people keep replaying their tiny mistakes? A. They hope to gain self-improvement. B. They are used to accepting imperfection. C. Their mistakes bring serious consequences. D. Others constantly remind them of the mistakes. 5. What is the author’s attitude to overthinking small mistakes? A. It does no good to personal growth. B. It helps form careful working habits. C. It is an effective way of self-reflection. D. It corrects people’s perfectionist tendency. 6. What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A. The spotlight effect helps build self-confidence. B. Others care little about our minor embarrassments. C. People enjoy judging others’ embarrassing behavior. D. Most people have no mistakes in their communication. 7. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph? A. Avoid making any mistakes in our daily life. B. Try our best to reach the standard of perfection. C. Tell useful correction from meaningless thinking. D. Keep thinking over mistakes until lessons are learned. 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了人们常反复纠结小错误的心理原因（聚光灯效应、完美主义），并指出应区分有益纠错与无意义反复思考，学会放下无用自责。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Most people believe thinking over things many times shows they are careful and that it will help them become better.(大多数人认为反复思考事情表明他们很谨慎，并且会帮助他们变得更好)”可知，人们反复回想小错误是因为希望借此获得自我提升。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Actually, repeatedly thinking about small mistakes is no longer helpful self-checking. It becomes useless self-blame. (实际上，反复思考小错误不再是有效的自我检查，而变成无用的自责)”及最后一段“Real progress comes from giving up regrets that bring nothing good. (真正的进步来自放弃毫无益处的懊悔)”可知，作者认为过度纠结小错误对个人成长毫无益处。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In truth, most people spend most of their time worrying about their own weak points and mistakes. That uncomfortable moment that troubles you for days may escape other people’s memory very soon.(事实上，大多数人大部分时间都在担心自己的弱点和错误。那个困扰你数天的尴尬时刻可能很快就被别人遗忘)”可推断，别人很少在意我们的小尴尬。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“You just need to know helpful self-correction is different from useless repeated thinking inside your mind.(你只需明白有益的自我纠正与脑海中无意义的反复思考是不同的)”可知，作者建议我们把有用的纠错和无意义的反复思考区分开来。 C With artificial intelligence developing fast, modern AI models can complete all kinds of difficult tasks, from writing reports to making videos. As AI technology becomes more dependable, public worry is increasing. Many people fear that AI will take the place of human beings at work, and online searches for “AI unemployment” have hit a record high. Whether people will soon lose their jobs to AI has even turned into a popular discussion topic in big cities. Many experts hold the view that AI is already bringing about job losses. They refer to studies connecting AI automation with less need for translators, and mention tech companies which once used AI to replace customer-service workers. However, real-world economic data show something different. Official US statistics (数据) show employment for translation work has risen by 7% compared with last year. The tech company Klarna also changed its AI automation rules and kept its human workers. Some observers think young graduates’ comparatively higher unemployment rate proves an AI-caused job crisis (危机), because the basic knowledge-related jobs they take can be easily finished by AI. Yet this trend started back in 2009, much earlier than the birth of generative AI. Besides, graduates’ unemployment rate is still fairly low. More studies on white collar jobs — jobs thought to be easily influenced by AI — find no signs of job losses caused by AI. Instead, the percentage of white-collar jobs has gone up a little. Around the world, low unemployment rates and gradual pay increases in most developed countries also contradict the opinion that AI reduces job demand. Two main reasons account for this situation. To begin with, in spite of widespread reports, less than 10 percent of American businesses use AI in official production and service work. Secondly, most companies make use of AI to raise their workers’ work efficiency instead of firing staff. At present, there is no reason to worry about job losses brought by AI. 8. What is many people’s worry about AI’s fast development? A. AI will cause plenty of people to lose their jobs. B. AI will produce low-quality work automatically. C. AI will replace human beings in every field soon. D. AI searches online take up too much public attention. 9. Why does the author mention Klarna in Paragraph 2? A. To show AI automation rules are hard for firms to follow. B. To prove AI actually fails to work well in tech industry. C. To offer evidence against the idea that AI leads to job losses. D. To explain why translation jobs see a slight rise in employment. 10. What does the underlined word “contradict” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Rely on. B. Back up. C. Focus on. D. Go against. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Businesses widely apply AI in their daily work. B. People needn’t fear that AI will take human jobs. C. AI has caused serious job losses across the world. D. AI technology is developing at a surprising speed. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要论述尽管公众担心人工智能会导致失业，但真实经济数据与多项研究表明AI并未造成大规模失业，人们无需为此担忧。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Many people fear that AI will take the place of human beings at work, and online searches for “AI unemployment” have hit a record high. (许多人担心人工智能会在工作中取代人类，在线搜索“人工智能失业”的人数创下历史新高)”可知，许多人担心人工智能快速发展会导致大量人失去工作。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“However, real-world economic data show something different. Official US statistics (数据) show employment for translation work has risen by 7% compared with last year. The tech company Klarna also changed its AI automation rules and kept its human workers. (然而，现实世界经济数据显示情况不同。美国官方统计数据显示，与去年相比，翻译工作的就业人数增长了7%。科技公司Klarna也改变了其人工智能自动化规则并保留了人工员工)”可知，提到Klarna是为了提供证据反驳“人工智能导致失业”的观点。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“More studies on white collar jobs — jobs thought to be easily influenced by AI — find no signs of job losses caused by AI. Instead, the percentage of white-collar jobs has gone up a little. Around the world, low unemployment rates and gradual pay increases in most developed countries also contradict the opinion that AI reduces job demand. (更多针对白领工作的研究——被认为容易受到人工智能影响的职位——发现没有人工智能导致失业的迹象。相反，白领岗位的比例略有上升。全球范围内，大多数发达国家低失业率和逐渐增长的工资也contradict人工智能减少就业需求的观点)”可知，前面说白领岗位比例小幅上升，可见这些事实和该观点相悖，contradict意为“与……相矛盾/违背”，与Go against意义相近。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。综合全文，尤其是末段“At present, there is no reason to worry about job losses brought by AI.(目前没有理由担心人工智能带来的失业)”可知，文章主旨是人们不必害怕人工智能会夺走人类的工作。 D Most people believe young people live happier lives. Yet worldwide surveys from 149 countries show a surprising result: the old usually feel happier than young and middle-aged grown-ups. This unexpected discovery encouraged plenty of studies. One important reference is Jonathan Rauch’s 2018 book The Happiness Curve (曲线). Its data show happiness forms a U-shape: people aged 20 — 34 feel pretty happy; their sense of joy falls sharply during middle age. Then happiness rises slowly from age 51 to the mid-80s, and finally becomes higher than that of young adults. Psychologists separate happiness into two parts of “subjective well-being”. The first is short-term happiness, including sudden joy and good feelings. The second is life satisfaction, which means you feel your life is valuable and you have clear life goals. A 2022 research project by Karwetsky examined both kinds of happiness. It interviewed 1,597 healthy German people from 10 to 99 years old. Researchers divided these people into four age groups. The participants gave marks (from 0 to 100) for their real-time joy and overall life satisfaction, and talked about what they cared about most in life. Researchers also studied other influences such as health, partners, grandchildren and religious ideas. The key findings: only life satisfaction increases as people get older. Unlike young people, the old do not need quick pleasant feelings to feel satisfied with their lives. Having a partner, grandchildren and religious beliefs improves life satisfaction for people of all ages. Pressure from money problems lowers satisfaction, especially for those aged 50 — 69. Poor health reduces short-term happiness, but it does little harm to the old’s life satisfaction. The study proves the U-shaped happiness pattern. Researchers also put forward three practical ways to achieve long-term happiness: keep close personal connections; save enough money for later life; and live a meaningful life. In short, people become more satisfied with life as they age, even when they meet difficulties. 12. What does Jonathan Rauch agree with about happiness? A. It keeps going up all the way. B. It follows a U-shaped pattern. C. It keeps dropping as people grow older. D. It reaches its highest point in middle age. 13. What is the main purpose of Karwetsky’s research? A. To examine the two kinds of happiness. B. To explain the U-shaped happiness curve. C. To prove the existence of two kinds of happiness. D. To further explore the survey result on happiness. 14. Which age group suffers most from money pressure? A. Those aged 20 to 34. B. Those aged 35 to 49. C. Those aged 50 to 69. D. Those in the mid-80s. 15. What’s the best title for the passage? A. The U-shaped Curve of Happiness. B. The Two Kinds of Personal Happiness. C. The Key Factors Destroying Happiness. D. The Practical Ways of Solving Troubles. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了幸福呈U形曲线的研究发现，说明老年人比年轻人更幸福、生活满意度随年龄增长而上升，并给出获得长期幸福的实用建议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“One important reference is Jonathan Rauch’s 2018 book The Happiness Curve (曲线). Its data show happiness forms a U-shape: people aged 20 — 34 feel pretty happy; their sense of joy falls sharply during middle age.(乔纳森·劳赫2018年出版的《你的幸福曲线》一书是一个重要的参考。其数据显示，幸福呈U形：20-34岁的人感到非常幸福；他们的幸福感在中年时急剧下降)”可知，Rauch认为幸福遵循U形模式。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Yet worldwide surveys from 149 countries show a surprising result: the old usually feel happier than young and middle-aged grown-ups. This unexpected discovery encouraged plenty of studies.(然而，来自149个国家的全球调查显示了一个令人惊讶的结果：老年人通常比年轻人和中年人更快乐。这一意外发现促使了大量研究)”、第二段“A 2022 research project by Karwetsky examined both kinds of happiness.(Karwetsky在2022年进行的一个研究项目考察了这两种幸福)”和第三段“The study proves the U-shaped happiness pattern.(该研究证明了U形幸福模式)”可知，Karwetsky的研究目的是进一步探究关于幸福的调查结果。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Pressure from money problems lowers satisfaction, especially for those aged 50 — 69. (经济问题的压力会降低满意度，尤其对50至69岁的人)”可知，受金钱压力影响最大的是50—69岁人群。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，第一段提出“One important reference is Jonathan Rauch’s 2018 book The Happiness Curve (曲线). Its data show happiness forms a U-shape: people aged 20 — 34 feel pretty happy; their sense of joy falls sharply during middle age. Then happiness rises slowly from age 51 to the mid-80s, and finally becomes higher than that of young adults. (乔纳森·劳赫2018年出版的《你的幸福曲线》一书是一个重要的参考。其数据显示，幸福呈U形：20-34岁的人感到非常幸福；他们的幸福感在中年时急剧下降。然后幸福感从51岁到85岁左右缓慢上升，最终变得高于年轻人)”，随后通过Karwetsky的研究证实该模式，并给出获得长期幸福的建议，故最佳标题为“The U-shaped Curve of Happiness.(幸福的U形曲线)”。 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。 We often feel stressed and want to escape when facing piles of difficult work. Our brain naturally fears heavy and tough tasks, but we can train it to deal with pressure properly. ____16____ The “salami slice” method. When we are faced with a huge task, our brain will get nervous and refuse to take action. The smart way is to break the whole project into several tiny, manageable steps, just like eating pizza slice by slice instead of finishing it at one time. ____17____ Every time you complete a small part, you will gain a strong sense of achievement, which pushes you to move on without feeling worn out. The “2-minute” rule. This rule works in two ways. First, finish any tiny task that takes less than two minutes immediately. Second, trick your brain into starting tough work by promising yourself only two minutes of effort. ____18____ Once you cross the hardest starting point, working longer will become easy. ____19____ Human brains are sensitive to pleasant rewards. Dopamine, a special chemical inside our brain, creates motivation (动力) when we receive treats. After finishing a difficult task, you can reward yourself with a favorite snack or a five-minute relaxing break. These little treats can greatly lift your mood and drive you to finish the next task actively. Speak positive words to yourself. Everyone needs constant encouragement, especially when trapped in hard work. Repeat warm and powerful sentences such as “I can make it” or “I am fully capable of this challenge” to yourself. ____20____ Gradually, they fill you with confidence to keep moving forward. A. Take regular relaxing breaks. B. Build your own reward system. C. Here are four useful methods to deal with hard work. D. Small divided steps make huge jobs much less frightening. E. Starting a task is far more difficult than keeping on doing it. F. Many students fail to make progress due to endless heavy homework. G. Such positive self-talks help you clear away self-doubt during difficult tasks. 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. E 19. B 20. G 【解析】 【导语】文章开篇点明面对繁重工作易焦虑，介绍四种应对方法：萨拉米切片法、两分钟法则、建立奖励机制、积极自我暗示，帮大脑应对压力完成任务。 【16题详解】 根据上文“We often feel stressed and want to escape when facing piles of difficult work. Our brain naturally fears heavy and tough tasks, but we can train it to deal with pressure properly.(面对堆积如山的繁重工作时，我们常常感到压力重重，想要逃避。大脑天生会对艰巨的任务产生畏惧，但我们可以通过训练让它更好地应对压力)”可知，空处位于首段末尾，下文开始逐一介绍应对压力的具体方法，C项“这里有四个应对困难工作的实用方法”起到总起下文的作用，符合语境。 【17题详解】 根据上文“When we are faced with a huge task, our brain will get nervous and refuse to take action. The smart way is to break the whole project into several tiny, manageable steps, just like eating pizza slice by slice instead of finishing it at one time.(当我们面对一项巨大任务时，大脑会变得紧张，从而拒绝采取行动。聪明的做法是将整个项目分解成若干个微小且可管理的步骤，就像一块块吃披萨，而不是一次性吃完一样)”以及后文“Every time you complete a small part, you will gain a strong sense of achievement, which pushes you to move on without feeling worn out.(每完成一个小任务，你都会获得强烈的成就感，这让你在不感到疲惫的情况下继续前进)”可知，该空对应“萨拉米切片法”的内容，前文提到把大任务拆分成多个易完成的小步骤，D项“拆分出的小步骤会让艰巨的工作不再那么吓人”承接上文拆分任务的逻辑，和后文完成小部分获得成就感的内容衔接顺畅。 【18题详解】 根据上文“This rule works in two ways. First, finish any tiny task that takes less than two minutes immediately. Second, trick your brain into starting tough work by promising yourself only two minutes of effort.(这条规则有两种作用方式。第一，立即完成任何耗时不到两分钟的小任务。第二，通过承诺自己只需付出两分钟的努力，来欺骗大脑，让它开始进行艰巨的工作)”以及后文“Once you cross the hardest starting point, working longer will become easy.(一旦你跨过最艰难的起点，坚持更长时间就会变得容易)”可知，该空对应“2分钟法则”的内容，后文提到一旦跨过最难的起点，长时间工作就会变容易，E项“开启一项任务远比坚持做下去更难”引出了“启动是最大难关”的逻辑，契合后文语境。 【19题详解】 根据后文“Human brains are sensitive to pleasant rewards. Dopamine, a special chemical inside our brain, creates motivation (动力) when we receive treats. After finishing a difficult task, you can reward yourself with a favorite snack or a five-minute relaxing break. These little treats can greatly lift your mood and drive you to finish the next task actively.(人类的大脑对愉快的奖励很敏感。大脑中一种特殊的化学物质——多巴胺，会在我们获得奖励时产生动力。完成一项困难任务后，你可以用喜欢的小吃或五分钟的放松休息来犒劳自己。这些小小的奖励能显著提升情绪，并激励你积极完成下一项任务)”可知，空处是该段的小标题，该段核心内容是完成任务后给自己奖励来激发动力，B项“建立你自己的奖励机制”精准概括段落主旨。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Everyone needs constant encouragement, especially when trapped in hard work. Repeat warm and powerful sentences such as “I can make it” or “I am fully capable of this challenge” to yourself.(每个人都需要持续的鼓励，尤其是在陷入艰难工作时。对自己反复念叨一些温暖而有力的话语，比如“我能行”或“我完全有能力应对这个挑战”)”以及后文“Gradually, they fill you with confidence to keep moving forward.(渐渐地，他们会让你充满信心，继续向前迈进)”可知，该空对应“对自己说积极话语”的内容，前文提到对自己重复鼓励的语句，G项“这类积极的自我对话能帮你在完成困难任务时消除自我怀疑”承接积极自我暗示的话题，和后文获得自信的内容呼应。 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 In Sri Lanka, a startup is improving lives by offering tourists a unique adventure with tuk-tuks, three-wheeled vehicles. Instead of buying, the company ____21____ them from locals and hands the ____22____ to holidaymakers eager to explore the country at their own speed. Charith Rajindra once worked long factory hours to support his family. When a sudden emergency hit, his hours were cut, greatly ____23____ his income. To make ends meet, he ____24____ $4,500 to buy a tuk-tuk. Within two years, he cleared the loan and established a homestay.

When it comes to which matters more for great achievements, I argue that effort comes before talent. I admit that talent provides a slightly higher starting point. However, natural ability alone doesn’t lead to success necessarily. Even the most gifted people will waste their potential without hard work. Tu Youyou’s discovery of artemisinin after over 190 failures is the best proof that constant effort drives real progress. To sum up, talent may give us a head start, but it is constant effort that really ensures we can reach the final destination. Possible version 2: Which Matters More for Great Achievements: Talent or Effort? There are many different views on whether talent or effort matters more for great achievements. Personally, I believe that talent plays a more significant role. I admit that effort is necessary. However, what truly makes the difference is talent. Among numerous physicists who devoted their lives to research, only Einstein, the genius, put forward the theory of relativity, completely changing our understanding of the universe. In closing, though effort contributes to daily progress, it is talent that brings about great achievements. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生就“取得伟大成就时，天赋与努力哪个更重要”这一话题谈谈自己的观点并说明理由，以“Which Matters More for Great Achievements: Talent or Effort?”为题，写一篇短文，向校英文报Voice栏目投稿。 【详解】以范文二为例： 1.词汇积累 不同的：different → various/distinct 成就：achievement → accomplishment 众多的：numerous → multitudinous 理解：understanding → comprehension 2.句式拓展 改写句子 原句：However, what truly makes the difference is talent. 拓展句：However, what truly makes the difference is talent, because unique talent enables people to think differently and see hidden connections, which makes historic breakthroughs possible. 【点睛】【高分句型1】However, what truly makes the difference is talent.(运用了what引导的主语从句) 【高分句型2】Specifically, unique talent enables people to think differently and see hidden connections, which makes historic breakthroughs possible.(运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句) 第二节（满分25分） 47. 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。 My brother Steven was born when I was seven. My sister Trudi and I treated him like a prince. But at eighteen months a doctor told us part of Steven’s brain had never grown. “He may never walk or talk,” he said. “Don’t expect much.” Mum cried for days. That night Dad held our hands at the kitchen table. “As long as the four of us stick together, nothing can beat us.” Then a new habit began. Every evening Trudi or I sat on the kitchen floor and read to Steven from the same red picture book. For three months he only looked into the empty air. Then one evening he pulled himself across the floor, reached the shelf and pushed the book open with both hands. At four he stood up with two metal sticks. At five he said his first word. Now, at eight, he knew about seven hundred words, and his favourite was my name: “Jen-ni-fer.” Everyone in our family was proud of him, but outside our house, I was not. I had just entered senior high school and joined the basketball team, never mentioning Steven to my friends. His slow, broken words gave everything away at once, and I could not bear the look on people’s faces. Last Friday Dad brought him to my first game. Steven had spent a whole week on a paper sign: JENNIFER 12, in huge letters, using every colour he owned. In the second half a loud voice rose above the crowd: “Come on, Jen-ni-fer!” I did not turn my head. After the game a teammate asked, “Who’s that funny little kid with the sign?” “No idea,” I heard myself say. Steven was three metres away, and he heard me too. That night he did not ask me to read. On Monday our coach said Friday’s game would be the final. “Invite your families.” At dinner Dad asked Steven if he would like to come. Steven shook his head and left the table. Later I found the sign in the kitchen rubbish bin (垃圾桶), folded small, every colour still bright. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 On Thursday night, I brought the sign and the red picture book to Steven’s room. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Friday, just before the final began, Dad and Steven appeared at the gym gate. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible Version 1: On Thursday night, I brought the sign and the red picture book to Steven’s room. He sat in silence. I placed the bright sign on his desk and held his hands. “I am sorry for my silly behaviour,” I whispered. “I was afraid of what others might think, but I made a mistake.” He looked away, but I opened the red picture book. As I read the familiar story, tears dropped from my eyes. Slowly, he turned his head and listened. “Please forgive me,” I begged him. “I want you to be there for my final game.” On Friday, just before the final began, Dad and Steven appeared at the gym gate. I could hardly believe my eyes. I rushed out of the court and gave him a big hug. “You came!” I cried. I then led him to my team. “This is Steven, my brother,” I introduced him with pride. The boy who had asked me the question smiled and greeted Steven. During the game, Steven waved his colourful sign, cheering loudly. His voice gave me courage to perform well. Dad was right: as long as we stick together and embrace each other, nothing can beat us. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的弟弟Steven先天脑部发育不足，在家人陪伴下逐步学会读写，进入高中的作者因虚荣不愿向朋友承认有这样的弟弟，伤了Steven的心后最终醒悟，决定弥补过错。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者主动道歉、用童年共同的回忆（红色图画书）修复姐弟关系。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写决赛现场的场景，完成了Jennifer从“害怕别人知道Steven的存在”到“坦然为弟弟骄傲”的心理转变。 2.续写线索：道歉——邀请Steven观看比赛——向队友自豪地介绍Steven——Steven为作者欢呼——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①犯错：make a mistake/commit a mistake ②冲出：rush out/dash out 情绪类 ①害怕：afraid/fearful ②自豪：with pride/proudly 【点睛】[高分句型1] I was afraid of what others might think, but I made a mistake.（由连接代词what引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] The boy who had asked me the question smiled and greeted Steven.（由关系代词who引导定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年高二10月题库 英语试题 考生注意： 1．本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2．考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 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段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，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.

Healthy Food Science. 3. Where can you most probably read the text? A. A biology textbook. B. A school notice board. C. A travel magazine for adults. D. A daily newspaper’s food column. B Many people often criticize themselves non-stop after small mistakes in daily talks or work. They always focus on an awkward sentence, a short stop while speaking, or a not quite right comment. Even if the mistake is so small that it won’t change the final result, they keep thinking about that moment again and again in their heads. They blame (责备) themselves for not doing things perfectly. Most people believe thinking over things many times shows they are careful and that it will help them become better. Yet for these harmless small mistakes, too much thinking offers no new lessons. Usually people have already seen where they went wrong. When necessary, they have said sorry or given explanations to make up for what they did. Actually, repeatedly thinking about small mistakes is no longer helpful self-checking. It becomes useless self-blame. This comes from a strong habit of wanting everything perfect. It drives people to go for goals no common person can reach. What makes this circle of bad thoughts even more useless is the spotlight effect. People wrongly think others will see their little embarrassing moments and form bad opinions about them. In truth, most people spend most of their time worrying about their own weak points and mistakes. That uncomfortable moment that troubles you for days may escape other people’s memory very soon. Stopping this kind of bad thinking does not mean refusing to face your mistakes. You just need to know helpful self-correction is different from useless repeated thinking inside your mind. One simple rule: think about whether this mistake will count much in the future. If something must be done right away, solve it completely at once. If not, leave it behind. Real progress comes from giving up regrets that bring nothing good. Learning to treat yourself well and accept that no human is perfect is an important lesson as we grow up. 4. Why do people keep replaying their tiny mistakes? A. They hope to gain self-improvement. B. They are used to accepting imperfection. C. Their mistakes bring serious consequences. D. Others constantly remind them of the mistakes. 5. What is the author’s attitude to overthinking small mistakes? A. It does no good to personal growth. B. It helps form careful working habits. C. It is an effective way of self-reflection. D. It corrects people’s perfectionist tendency. 6. What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A. The spotlight effect helps build self-confidence. B. Others care little about our minor embarrassments. C. People enjoy judging others’ embarrassing behavior. D. Most people have no mistakes in their communication. 7. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph? A. Avoid making any mistakes in our daily life. B. Try our best to reach the standard of perfection. C. Tell useful correction from meaningless thinking. D. Keep thinking over mistakes until lessons are learned. C With artificial intelligence developing fast, modern AI models can complete all kinds of difficult tasks, from writing reports to making videos. As AI technology becomes more dependable, public worry is increasing. Many people fear that AI will take the place of human beings at work, and online searches for “AI unemployment” have hit a record high. Whether people will soon lose their jobs to AI has even turned into a popular discussion topic in big cities. Many experts hold the view that AI is already bringing about job losses. They refer to studies connecting AI automation with less need for translators, and mention tech companies which once used AI to replace customer-service workers. However, real-world economic data show something different. Official US statistics (数据) show employment for translation work has risen by 7% compared with last year. The tech company Klarna also changed its AI automation rules and kept its human workers. Some observers think young graduates’ comparatively higher unemployment rate proves an AI-caused job crisis (危机), because the basic knowledge-related jobs they take can be easily finished by AI. Yet this trend started back in 2009, much earlier than the birth of generative AI. Besides, graduates’ unemployment rate is still fairly low. More studies on white collar jobs — jobs thought to be easily influenced by AI — find no signs of job losses caused by AI. Instead, the percentage of white-collar jobs has gone up a little. Around the world, low unemployment rates and gradual pay increases in most developed countries also contradict the opinion that AI reduces job demand. Two main reasons account for this situation. To begin with, in spite of widespread reports, less than 10 percent of American businesses use AI in official production and service work. Secondly, most companies make use of AI to raise their workers’ work efficiency instead of firing staff. At present, there is no reason to worry about job losses brought by AI. 8. What is many people’s worry about AI’s fast development? A. AI will cause plenty of people to lose their jobs. B. AI will produce low-quality work automatically. C. AI will replace human beings in every field soon. D. AI searches online take up too much public attention. 9. Why does the author mention Klarna in Paragraph 2? A. To show AI automation rules are hard for firms to follow. B. To prove AI actually fails to work well in tech industry. C. To offer evidence against the idea that AI leads to job losses. D. To explain why translation jobs see a slight rise in employment. 10. What does the underlined word “contradict” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Rely on. B. Back up. C. Focus on. D. Go against. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Businesses widely apply AI in their daily work. B. People needn’t fear that AI will take human jobs. C. AI has caused serious job losses across the world. D. AI technology is developing at a surprising speed. D Most people believe young people live happier lives. Yet worldwide surveys from 149 countries show a surprising result: the old usually feel happier than young and middle-aged grown-ups. This unexpected discovery encouraged plenty of studies. One important reference is Jonathan Rauch’s 2018 book The Happiness Curve (曲线). Its data show happiness forms a U-shape: people aged 20 — 34 feel pretty happy; their sense of joy falls sharply during middle age. Then happiness rises slowly from age 51 to the mid-80s, and finally becomes higher than that of young adults. Psychologists separate happiness into two parts of “subjective well-being”. The first is short-term happiness, including sudden joy and good feelings. The second is life satisfaction, which means you feel your life is valuable and you have clear life goals. A 2022 research project by Karwetsky examined both kinds of happiness. It interviewed 1,597 healthy German people from 10 to 99 years old. Researchers divided these people into four age groups. The participants gave marks (from 0 to 100) for their real-time joy and overall life satisfaction, and talked about what they cared about most in life. Researchers also studied other influences such as health, partners, grandchildren and religious ideas. The key findings: only life satisfaction increases as people get older. Unlike young people, the old do not need quick pleasant feelings to feel satisfied with their lives. Having a partner, grandchildren and religious beliefs improves life satisfaction for people of all ages. Pressure from money problems lowers satisfaction, especially for those aged 50 — 69. Poor health reduces short-term happiness, but it does little harm to the old’s life satisfaction. The study proves the U-shaped happiness pattern.

When we are faced with a huge task, our brain will get nervous and refuse to take action.

Dopamine, a special chemical inside our brain, creates motivation (动力) when we receive treats. After finishing a difficult task, you can reward yourself with a favorite snack or a five-minute relaxing break. These little treats can greatly lift your mood and drive you to finish the next task actively. Speak positive words to yourself.

My sister Trudi and I treated him like a prince. But at eighteen months a doctor told us part of Steven’s brain had never grown. “He may never walk or talk,” he said. “Don’t expect much.” Mum cried for days. That night Dad held our hands at the kitchen table. “As long as the four of us stick together, nothing can beat us.” Then a new habit began. Every evening Trudi or I sat on the kitchen floor and read to Steven from the same red picture book. For three months he only looked into the empty air. Then one evening he pulled himself across the floor, reached the shelf and pushed the book open with both hands. At four he stood up with two metal sticks. At five he said his first word. Now, at eight, he knew about seven hundred words, and his favourite was my name: “Jen-ni-fer.” Everyone in our family was proud of him, but outside our house, I was not. I had just entered senior high school and joined the basketball team, never mentioning Steven to my friends. His slow, broken words gave everything away at once, and I could not bear the look on people’s faces. Last Friday Dad brought him to my first game. Steven had spent a whole week on a paper sign: JENNIFER 12, in huge letters, using every colour he owned. In the second half a loud voice rose above the crowd: “Come on, Jen-ni-fer!” I did not turn my head. After the game a teammate asked, “Who’s that funny little kid with the sign?” “No idea,” I heard myself say. Steven was three metres away, and he heard me too. That night he did not ask me to read. On Monday our coach said Friday’s game would be the final. “Invite your families.” At dinner Dad asked Steven if he would like to come. Steven shook his head and left the table. Later I found the sign in the kitchen rubbish bin (垃圾桶), folded small, every colour still bright. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 On Thursday night, I brought the sign and the red picture book to Steven’s room. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Friday, just before the final began, Dad and Steven appeared at the gym gate. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
