A 【解析】 【原文】W: Good morning, everyone. Today I’d like to talk about a common problem among teenagers — being addicted to social media. A recent survey shows that 72% of high school students use social media for over 2 hours every day, with most starting at the age of 13 or 14. On one hand, social media helps students stay connected with friends, share interesting stories, and even access free educational resources, like online courses and study tips. On the other hand, it brings many problems. Parents and teachers have noticed that students who spend too much time on social media often have trouble focusing in class. They may also feel upset after comparing their daily lives with the “perfect” posts online, which makes them lose confidence. What’s worse, some students get disturbed by messages during study time, leading to a drop in grades. Experts suggest that instead of banning social media completely, schools should teach students to manage their screen time wisely. For example, setting a fixed time for checking social media after finishing homework, or choosing educational accounts to follow instead of those with meaningless content. Remember, social media is a tool. It can either help us or harm us, depending on how we use it. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A The Silk Road International Arts Festival is a unique event that brings together artists from around the world through performances and exhibitions.

Primarily, my parents wanted me to try out a sport that could make me enjoy workouts; I also knew that my mom loved playing it in Venezuela during her youth. I thought maybe I could feel the same. Indeed, I fell in love with it after just a couple of practices. Between practices, I would stretch (伸出) my arms out, hold my hands together and push my wrists down to try to build muscle memory of the perfect platform. I would catch the ball, focusing on forming a triangular (三角形的) shape each time, with my right hand guiding the movement. Each time I’d release the ball upwards, I knew I was one try closer to getting it right. I worked tirelessly because I wanted to get better. I wanted to be great one day. However, I lacked the head start most girls had. I started playing years after many other girls had. I was thrown into the deep end when the club where I practiced placed me on their most competitive team for my age group mid-season. Most of the girls did not welcome me. While this competition within and between teams was sometimes productive, it proved to be unhealthy. It was dangerous when it reached a tipping point. By the end of my freshman year of high school, I’d reached my breaking point. Over four years, I only touched a volleyball a couple of times and only in casual settings. When the opportunity came to play with one of my best friends in a series of friendly matches, I hesitated. I eventually agreed, making it a point not to be so hard on myself. Volleyball finally brought the same enjoyment that had made me fall in love with it. I look forward to every opportunity I have to play now. I expect there will be more volleyball matches. 24．Why did the author choose to play volleyball? A．To find joy in exercise. B．To copy her mother’s experience. C．To be a great player. D．To prove herself to others. 25．What did the author do to improve her volleyball skills? A．She practiced the correct hand position. B．She stretched her arms for strength. C．She released the ball higher each time. D．She caught the ball to check her hand shape. 26．What can be drawn from the author’s team experience? A．It improved her skills quickly. B．It kept her away from volleyball. C．It taught her to handle teammates. D．It proved that hard work pays off. 27．What does the text indicate? A．Early practice guarantees better performance. B．Joy returns when you ease up on yourself. C．A strict coach makes a great player. D．Pressure sometimes breaks a person. 【答案】24．A 25．A 26．B 27．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者从爱上排球、因高压竞争而放弃，到最终重新找回排球乐趣的经历。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Primarily, my parents wanted me to try out a sport that could make me enjoy workouts; I also knew that my mom loved playing it in Venezuela during her youth. I thought maybe I could feel the same. (首先，我的父母想让我尝试一项能让我享受锻炼的运动；我也知道妈妈年轻时在委内瑞拉喜欢打排球。我想也许我也会有同样的感受。)”可知，作者选择打排球是为了在锻炼中找到快乐。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Between practices, I would stretch (伸出) my arms out, hold my hands together and push my wrists down to try to build muscle memory of the perfect platform. I would catch the ball, focusing on forming a triangular (三角形的) shape each time, with my right hand guiding the movement. (在训练间隙，我会伸直手臂，双手合拢，向下压手腕，试图建立完美接球平台的肌肉记忆。我会接住球，每次都专注于形成一个三角形，用右手引导动作。)”可知，作者通过练习正确的手部姿势来提高排球技术。 26．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“While this competition within and between teams was sometimes productive, it proved to be unhealthy. It was dangerous when it reached a tipping point. By the end of my freshman year of high school, I’d reached my breaking point. (虽然队伍内部和队伍之间的这种竞争有时是有成效的，但事实证明它是不健康的。当它达到临界点时就很危险了。到高一年级结束时，我已经达到了崩溃的边缘。)”以及最后一段中的“Over four years, I only touched a volleyball a couple of times and only in casual settings. (四年多来，我只碰过几次排球，而且都是在随意的场合。)”可推断出，作者的团队经历让她远离了排球。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I eventually agreed, making it a point not to be so hard on myself. Volleyball finally brought the same enjoyment that had made me fall in love with it. (我最终同意了，并且特意不给自己太大压力。排球终于带来了当初让我爱上它的那种快乐。)”可推断出，当你不苛求自己时，快乐就会回来。 C Greenland sharks, the mysterious giants lying low in the deep, cold waters of the Arctic and North Atlantic, are known for their extraordinarily long life — some can live for over 400 years. Scientists have long wondered how these creatures manage to outlive all other vertebrates (脊椎动物). Through a series of studies, they desire to reveal the secrets behind their long life. Lily Fogg, a biologist at the University of Basel in Switzerland, and her team focused on the sharks’ eyes. Examining tissue from ten Greenland sharks, including some up to 150 years old, they found that these animals possess all the necessary cellular structures for vision in the deep sea’s dim light. Surprisingly, the eye tissue showed little sign of aging. Fogg suggests this may be due to highly active DNA repair mechanisms that prevent cell death and tissue degeneration. A separate study of the sharks’ sets of genes also pointed to enhanced DNA repair functions. However, not all organs benefit from such protection. Alessandro Cellerino, an Italian physiologist, led a study on the sharks’ hearts. Examining six Greenland sharks, his team discovered that their hearts accumulate tough scars and cellular damage over time. In humans, similar scarring would indicate cardiovascular (心血管) disease, hardening the heart and reducing its pumping efficiency. Catherine Macdonald, an ecologist at the University of Miami, finds these findings fascinating. She notes that any animal with such a long lifetime must possess both repair and maintenance abilities. While studying living Greenland sharks is difficult owing to their deep-sea habitat — they can dive to 2,200 meters, Macdonald believes that understanding their long life can offer valuable insights into human aging. However, she cautions against drawing quick conclusions on human health, emphasizing that these discoveries are just the beginning of a much longer scientific journey. 28．What is the scientists’ attitude to Greenland sharks’ long life? A．Shocked. B．Curious. C．Doubtful. D．Indifferent. 29．What can be inferred about Greenland sharks’ hearts? A．They stop functioning at an old age. B．They age faster than their eyes. C．They are free of age-related injuries. D．They can repair damage thoroughly. 30．What does Macdonald think of the findings? A．They are difficult to understand. B．They lack corresponding evidence. C．They offer conclusions on human health. D．They are important for further study. 31．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．How Greenland Sharks Resist Aging B．How Greenland Sharks Live in the Sea C．How Greenland Sharks Get Genetic Protection D．How Greenland Sharks Keep Healthy for Long 【答案】28．B 29．B 30．D 31．A 【导语】文章主要介绍了科学家对格陵兰鲨鱼长寿机制的研究，涉及眼睛组织、心脏状况以及对其抗衰老研究的评价。 【详解】28．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Scientists have long wondered how these creatures manage to outlive all other vertebrates (脊椎动物). Through a series of studies, they desire to reveal the secrets behind their long life. (科学家们长期以来一直想知道这些生物是如何比其他所有脊椎动物都长寿的。通过一系列研究，他们渴望揭开其长寿背后的秘密。)”可知，科学家们对格陵兰鲨鱼的长寿现象充满好奇，希望揭示其背后的秘密。 29．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Surprisingly, the eye tissue showed little sign of aging. (令人惊讶的是，眼部组织几乎没有衰老的迹象。)”以及第三段“Examining six Greenland sharks, his team discovered that their hearts accumulate tough scars and cellular damage over time. (他的团队检查了六条格陵兰鲨鱼，发现它们的心脏随着时间的推移会积累坚硬的疤痕和细胞损伤。)”可知，格陵兰鲨鱼的眼睛几乎没有衰老迹象，而心脏却积累了疤痕和细胞损伤。通过两者对比可以推知，心脏的衰老速度快于眼睛。 30．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“While studying living Greenland sharks is difficult owing to their deep-sea habitat — they can dive to 2,200 meters, Macdonald believes that understanding their long life can offer valuable insights into human aging. However, she cautions against drawing quick conclusions on human health, emphasizing that these discoveries are just the beginning of a much longer scientific journey. (尽管由于深海栖息地——它们可以潜到2200米深——研究活的格陵兰鲨鱼很困难，但Macdonald认为，了解它们的长寿可以为人类衰老提供有价值的见解。然而，她告诫不要对人类健康迅速下结论，强调这些发现只是更漫长科学旅程的开始。)”可知，Macdonald认为这些发现对人类衰老研究具有重要价值，但强调研究尚处于起步阶段，需要进一步深入研究。 31．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章第一段引出格陵兰鲨鱼长寿之谜，第二段介绍其对眼睛的保护机制，第三段说明并非格陵兰鲨的所有器官都有抗衰保护，其心脏会随时间积累疤痕和细胞损伤，第四段讨论研究意义与局限。全文围绕科学家如何探索格陵兰鲨鱼抵抗衰老的机制展开。A选项“How Greenland Sharks Resist Aging (格陵兰鲨鱼如何抵抗衰老)”准确概括了文章核心内容，贴合文意，适合作标题。 D Scientists are advancing brain-computer interface (BCI) technology with a breakthrough system that translates inner speech into audible words. Developed by US researchers, this “thought decoder (解码器)” achieved 74% accuracy in converting the imagined speech of four paralyzed volunteers into sound. Unlike earlier BCIs, which relied on brain signals from attempted speech or writing, the new device directly interprets neural patterns linked to phonemes (speech units), aiming to restore fluent communication for those with speech or motor disabilities. The system works by implanting sensors in the motor cortex (运动皮层), the brain region controlling movement, including speech. As volunteers think of words, machine learning algorithms (算法) analyze neural activity to identify phoneme patterns and reconstruct sentences. Stanford neuroscientist Benyamin Meschede-Krasa explains, “If you just have to think about speech instead of actually trying to speak, it’s potentially easier and faster.” Researchers discovered overlapping brain signals between attempted and imagined speech, but the system could distinguish them through probability calculations. For example, it recognized 125,000 words by linking frequent phoneme combinations. “These patterns are a similar but smaller version of attempted speech activity,” notes Stanford’s Frank Willett, adding, “We decoded them well enough to prove the principle, but not as well as attempted speech.” There’s still a long way to go here, and the BCI often fell far short of that 74% maximum accuracy rating. However, by utilizing upgraded implant technology and mapping more of the brain for thought cues, the researchers are confident that the system can be quickly improved over the next few years. Another issue to overcome is the potential for translating, logging, and speaking out inner monologues that are intended to be kept private — not something you want in a BCI. Safeguards like thinking of a special password start and stop decoding could be implemented here, the researchers suggest. This concept was trialed in the experiments with 98 percent accuracy. This follows other progress, such as a recent real-time thought-decoding study (personalized to one individual). “The future of BCIs is bright,” Willett says. “This gives hope that speech BCIs may one day restore communication as fluent and natural as conversational speech.” 32．How does the new BCI system differ from earlier models? A．It uses external sensors instead of implants. B．It requires physical movement to generate speech. C．It relies on brain signals from attempted writing only. D．It directly decodes neural patterns associated with inner speech. 33．What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A．Benyamin Meschede-Krasa invented the new BCI system. B．The motor cortex is only responsible for speaking movements. C．Machine learning plays a key role in linking brain signals to words. D．The new BCI needs users to silently speak words to generate neural signals. 34．What does the underlined word “overlapping” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Conflicting completely. B．Coexisting partially. C．Functioning independently. D．Changing constantly. 35．What privacy concern is raised about the BCI system? A．It stores thoughts without user approval. B．It might decode unintended private thoughts. C．It cannot differentiate between multiple users. D．It requires users to share mental passwords publicly 【答案】32．D 33．C 34．B 35．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了美国研究人员开发出一种“思维解码器”，能将瘫痪患者想象中的语言转化为声音，实现了74%的准确率，并讨论了其工作原理、当前局限及未来改进方向。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Unlike earlier BCIs, which relied on brain signals from attempted speech or writing, the new device directly interprets neural patterns linked to phonemes (speech units), aiming to restore fluent communication for those with speech or motor disabilities.(与早期依赖尝试说话或写字的脑信号的脑机接口不同，新设备直接解读与音素（语音单位）相关的神经模式，旨在为有语言或运动障碍的人恢复流利的交流。)”可知，新的脑机接口系统与早期模型的不同之处在于它直接解码与内心独白相关的神经模式。 33．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“As volunteers think of words, machine learning algorithms (算法) analyze neural activity to identify phoneme patterns and reconstruct sentences.(当志愿者思考单词时，机器学习算法分析神经活动以识别音素模式并重建句子。)”可知，机器学习在将大脑信号与单词联系起来的过程中起着关键作用。 34．词句猜测题。根据第四段画线词“overlapping”后面的“but the system could distinguish them through probability calculations(但该系统能够通过概率计算区分它们)”以及“These patterns are a similar but smaller version of attempted speech activity(这些模式是言语活动尝试的类似但规模更小的版本)”可推知，画线词所在的前半句强调尝试说话和想象说话的大脑信号存在部分重合的相似之处，所填词含有“部分重合”之意。 35．细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Another issue to overcome is the potential for translating, logging, and speaking out inner monologues that are intended to be kept private — not something you want in a BCI.(另一个需要克服的问题是，翻译、记录和说出本应保密的内心独白的潜在可能性——这不是你在脑机接口中想要的。)”可知，脑机接口系统可能存在的隐私问题是它可能会解码意外的私人想法。 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。 Street names help us figure out where we are. 36 Some names, like 125th Street, are just descriptions of locations. But often, streets are named after people, which places us in a historical or political context too. Not far from where my brother lives in north London is a street called Kitchener Road. Just behind the lamp post is an old sign, made of thick iron, bearing the name. 37 That sign seems to say this person was and still is deserving of recognition. But Kitchener Road reminded me of Britain’s history of colonial (殖民地的) rule, as Kitchener (1850－1916) was a cruel British military officer across Asia and Africa. Saying street names are markers of history attracts two types of criticism. One is that it’s nothing more than a storm in a teacup. Street names don’t really matter. 38 But naming streets after people responsible for killings means continuing to celebrate them and making that view of history seem normal in everyday life. So what should we do? 39 Another option is the Amsterdam approach. There, a street honoring anti-apartheid (反种族隔离) leader Albert Luthuli has a sign noting: “Formerly: Louis Botha street,” named after a prime minister of colonial South Africa. Where controversial names remain, people are also creating walking tours to provide fuller historical context. In Glasgow, a tour was organized to make people know about the city’s role in the enslavement of people. This practice is a creative response to damaging histories and provides local communities with a thoughtful way forward. Walking away from Kitchener Road, I thought of a different Kitchener: the legendary Trinidadian calypso musician. Upon arriving in England, he sang London is the Place for Me. If Kitchener Road must keep its name, I’d prefer to imagine they honor the “King of Calypso,” not the colonial butcher. 40 A．This idea works in two ways. B．In my view, such streets should be renamed. C．The other concern is that renaming may erase history. D．Perhaps reinterpreting street names is an approach we can adopt. E．To name a street after a person is a way of honoring his or her achievements. F．Old street names can sometimes encourage people to investigate local history. G．The real question is not whether history matters, but how it should be presented. 【答案】36．A 37．E 38．C 39．B 40．D 【导语】文章主要介绍街名承载历史信息，一些以有争议殖民人物命名的街道引发两类批评，文章列举了改名、增设历史注释、重新解读街名等不同处理方案，探讨应当如何呈现历史。 【详解】36．根据前文“Street names help us figure out where we are.(街道名称帮助我们确定我们所在的位置。)”以及后文“Some names, like 125th Street, are just descriptions of locations. But often, streets are named after people, which places us in a historical or political context too.(有些名字，例如125th Street，仅仅是对地点的描述。但街道常常以人名命名，这也将我们置于历史和政治背景之下。)”可知，前文说明街名可以定位，后文区分了街名的两种类型。空处总起，说明街名有两种作用，引出下文的两类街名。选项A“This idea works in two ways.(这种想法通过两种方式起作用。)” 契合原文内容。 37．根据前文“Just behind the lamp post is an old sign, made of thick iron, bearing the name.(就在灯柱后面有一块老旧的标牌，由厚铁制成，刻着这个名字。)”以及后文“ That sign seems to say this person was and still is deserving of recognition.(那块标牌仿佛在诉说这个人过去、现在都值得被铭记。)”可知，前文提到刻着名字的旧路牌，后文说路牌似乎代表这个人值得被铭记。空处应该解释用人名命名街道的初衷。选项E“To name a street after a person is a way of honoring his or her achievements.(以人名来命名街道是致敬其成就的一种方式。)”契合原文内容。 38．根据前文“Saying street names are markers of history attracts two types of criticism. One is that it’s nothing more than a storm in a teacup. Street names don’t really matter.(街名是历史标志这一观点引来两类批评。一类认为这只不过是小题大做，街名无关紧要。)”可知，前文提出有两类批评，并介绍了第一种批评观点；空处介绍第二种批评。选项C“The other concern is that renaming may erase history.(另一顾虑是改名可能会抹去历史。)”契合原文内容。 39．根据后文“Another option is the Amsterdam approach.(另一种方案是阿姆斯特丹模式。)”可知，后文提到“另一种方案”表明空处介绍第一种解决办法。选项B“In my view, such streets should be renamed.(在我看来，这类街道应当改名。)”契合原文内容。 40．根据前文“If Kitchener Road must keep its name, I’d prefer to imagine they honor the “King of Calypso,” not the colonial butcher.(如果基奇纳路必须保留原名，我宁愿把这个名字理解为致敬卡利普索音乐之王，而不是那个殖民刽子手。)”可知，作者提出保留原名，但更换解读角度。选项D“Perhaps reinterpreting street names is an approach we can adopt.(或许重新解读街名是我们可以采用的办法。)”契合原文内容。 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。 In Blue Earth, Minnesota, travelers often pulled off the highway hoping to meet a nonexistent giant. They would ask, “Where is the Jolly Green Giant?” With cameras ready, they only found 41 . Every summer, Paul Hedberg, a local radio host, holding his microphone and recorder, 42 motorists who had left Interstate 90 (a major U.S. highway) and found their way into the town, hoping to discover what had drawn them into the town. The trouble was that visitors arrived with a perfectly reasonable expectation. The town had a Green Giant canning plant (a food company) whose famous mascot (吉祥物) was the Jolly Green Giant, so travelers 43 asked where they could take a picture with the Jolly Green Giant. And Paul had to tell them there was no such 44 . It wasn’t heartbreaking, but it was a small 45 in a family vacation. The same question kept coming up. Paul didn’t brush the questions aside. He 46 . He heard what was 47 inside the questions: people wanted a reason to stop, smile, and say, “Well, would you look at that.” In an effort to raise funds, Paul 48 with Green Giant company and local businesses, 49 giving travelers what they had already been looking for. Not a brochure, but a real 50 . A huge one. Eventually, the town put up a 55.5-foot fiberglass Jolly Green Giant which stood proudly by the road and no one would miss it. The cost was about $43,000 — a large sum for a very 51 idea. But there was something wonderfully practical about the whole thing: people kept asking for a giant, so the town 52 them a giant. The 53 was simple and sweet. The disappointed tourists finally had “someone” to visit. Blue Earth had turned a repeated “sorry” into a warm 54 . The statue now stands in Green Giant Park, giving travelers a reason to 55 before the road pulls them onward. 41．A．everything B．something C．anything D．nothing 42．A．approached B．interviewed C．encountered D．welcomed 43．A．naturally B．hesitantly C．urgently D．indirectly 44．A．factory B．picture C．statue D．town 45．A．surprise B．tragedy C．mistake D．disappointment 46．A．listened B．ignored C．forgot D．complained 47．A．written B．spoken C．hidden D．conveyed 48．A．argued B．identified C．competed D．cooperated 49．A．insisting on B．succeeding in C．dreaming of D．objecting to 50．A．souvenir B．landmark C．plant D．town 51．A．serious B．cheerful C．expensive D．practical 52．A．sold B．left C．sent D．built 53．A．handout B．payoff C．makeup D．breakthrough 54．A．welcome B．goodbye C．apology D．promise 55．A．escape B．hide C．stay D．rush 【答案】 41．D 42．B 43．A 44．C 45．D 46．A 47．C 48．D 49．B 50．B 51．B 52．D 53．B 54．A 55．C 【导语】本文讲述了美国明尼苏达州布卢厄斯经常有游客停车寻找不存在的快乐绿巨人雕像，当地主持人Paul为满足游客的需求，联合企业建造巨型雕像，最终将游客的遗憾变成小镇特色景点。 【详解】41．考查不定代词。句意：准备好了相机，他们只发现什么都没有。A. everything所有事物；B. something某物；C. anything任何事物；D. nothing没有什么。根据上文“hoping to meet a nonexistent giant”可知，游客要找的巨人根本不存在，因此他们来到这里之后什么都找不到。 42．考查动词。句意：每年夏天，当地电台主持人Paul Hedberg拿着麦克风和录音机，采访那些离开90号州际公路（美国的一条重要公路）来到小镇的司机，想弄清是什么吸引他们来到这个小镇。A. approached接近；B. interviewed采访；C. encountered遇到；D. welcomed欢迎。根据上文“Paul Hedberg, a local radio host, holding his microphone and recorder”可知，Paul是电台主持人，拿着麦克风和录音机是为了采访过往的司机。 43．考查副词。句意：小镇有一个绿巨人罐头食品厂（一家食品公司），该厂著名的吉祥物就是快乐绿巨人，所以游客自然会问他们在哪里可以和快乐绿巨人合影。A. naturally自然地；B. hesitantly犹豫地；C. urgently紧急地；D. indirectly间接地。根据上文“The town had a Green Giant canning plant (a food company) whose famous mascot (吉祥物) was the Jolly Green Giant”可知，既然小镇本身有以绿巨人命名的工厂，游客想要和绿巨人吉祥物合影是自然而然会提出的要求。 44．考查名词。句意：Paul不得不告诉他们，这里并没有这样的雕像。A. factory工厂；B. picture照片；C. statue雕像；D. town小镇。根据上文“travelers ______ asked where they could take a picture with the Jolly Green Giant”讲述游客想要和绿巨人合影，以及第四段中“Eventually, the town put up a 55.5-foot fiberglass Jolly Green Giant”可知，原本小镇并没有绿巨人的雕像。 45．考查名词。句意：这并不让人伤心，但这是家庭度假中的一个小小失望。A. surprise惊喜；B. tragedy悲剧；C. mistake错误；D. disappointment失望。根据最后一段中“The disappointed tourists”并结合上文可知，游客满怀期待来找绿巨人，却发现根本没有，因此会感到失望。 46．考查动词。句意：他听进去了。A. listened倾听；B. ignored忽视；C. forgot忘记；D. complained抱怨。根据上文“Paul didn’t brush the questions aside”以及下文“He heard what was ________ inside the questions”可知，Paul没有忽略问题，而是认真倾听游客的心声。 47．考查动词。句意：他听出了这些问题背后隐藏的东西：人们想要一个停下脚步、微笑着说“哇，你看那呀”的理由。A. written书写；B. spoken说出；C. hidden隐藏；D. conveyed传达。根据下文“people wanted a reason to stop, smile, and say, “Well, would you look at that.””可知，游客表面上问的是在哪里能找到绿巨人，真正的需求隐藏在问题背后，人们想要一个停下来开心打卡的理由。 48．考查动词。句意：为了筹集资金，Paul和绿巨人公司以及当地企业合作，成功给游客提供他们一直在寻找的东西。A. argued争论；B. identified识别；C. competed竞争；D. cooperated合作。根据下文“with Green Giant company and local businesses”可知，Paul为了筹资建造雕像，与企业合作。 49．考查动词短语。句意：为了筹集资金，Paul和绿巨人公司以及当地企业合作，成功给游客提供他们一直在寻找的东西。A. insisting on坚持；B. succeeding in成功做成；C. dreaming of梦想；D. objecting to反对。根据后文“Eventually, the town put up a 55.5-foot fiberglass Jolly Green Giant ”可知，他们最终成功建造了雕像，满足了游客的需求。 50．考查名词。句意：不是一本小册子，而是一个真正的地标。A. souvenir纪念品；B. landmark地标；C. plant工厂；D. town小镇。根据后文“Eventually, the town put up a 55.5-foot fiberglass Jolly Green Giant which stood proudly by the road and no one would miss it.”可知，这个巨型雕像成了小镇的标志性地标。 51．考查形容词。句意：成本大约是43000美元——对于一个非常愉快的创意来说，这是一笔不小的数目。A. serious严肃的；B. cheerful愉快的；C. expensive昂贵的；D. practical实际的。根据第三段中“travelers ______ asked where they could take a picture with the Jolly Green Giant”和第四段中“people wanted a reason to stop, smile, and say, “Well, would you look at that.””可知，建造绿巨人雕像是一个让人心情愉悦的创意，满足了游客找快乐绿巨人的趣味需求。 52．考查动词。句意：但整件事有非常实用的意义：人们一直想要一个巨人，所以小镇就给他们建了一个巨人。A. sold售卖；B. left留下；C. sent发送；D. built建造。根据上文“the town put up a 55.5-foot fiberglass Jolly Green Giant”可知，小镇为游客建造了巨人雕像。 53．考查名词。句意：这件事的回报简单又美好。A. handout传单；B. payoff回报；C. makeup化妆品；D. breakthrough突破。根据后文“The disappointed tourists finally had “someone” to visit.”可知，当初投入资金建造雕像的回报就是让游客满意，给小镇带来了新的景点。 54．考查名词。句意：布卢厄斯把一次次的“抱歉”变成了热情的欢迎。A. welcome欢迎；B. goodbye再见；C. apology道歉；D. promise承诺。此处与a repeated “sorry”对应，原本小镇只能一次次对游客道歉说没有绿巨人雕像，现在有了雕像，小镇热情欢迎到来的每一位游客。 55．考查动词。句意：这座雕像现在伫立在绿巨人公园，在游客继续上路之前，给他们一个留下来停留的理由。A. escape逃跑；B. hide隐藏；C. stay停留；D. rush冲奔。根据第四段中“people wanted a reason to stop”以及后文“before the road pulls them onward”可知，雕像给了游客在小镇停留的理由。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1. 5分, 满分15分） 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或所给单词的正确形式。 You’ve probably seen groups of people practicing tai chi in a park, so you have some idea 56 it’s all about: slow, mindful movements.

He was quiet and often found it difficult to join conversations, so he had few close friends. While almost every student owned a B-bot, a smart robot that could connect to the Internet, Barney was one of the few who did not. His father finally bought him one for his birthday. Its name was Ron. Unfortunately, Ron was different from other B-bots. He was slow to understand social situations. Worse still, he often said the wrong thing at the wrong time. At first, Barney found Ron amusing. But as his classmates showed off their clever B-bots, Barney became self-conscious. The other students laughed at Ron’s mistakes and called him a “broken” B-bot. Some even refused to let Ron join their games. They also teased (嘲弄) Barney for having such a strange B-bot. Barney tried to ignore them, but he became increasingly embarrassed. Ron noticed this and stayed close to Barney, even though he did not know how to make things better. Seeing Barney struggle to make friends, Ron tried to help, but often misunderstood social situations. Once, he loudly announced, “Barney has no friends nearby,” making everyone laugh. One afternoon, things went too far. Barney was talking to some classmates when Ron suddenly announced, “Attention, everyone! Barney needs friends! Please raise your hand if you want to be his friend. Don’t be shy — Barney is waiting!” Several students burst into laughter. Barney’s face burned with embarrassment. “Why can’t you be like the other B-bots?” Barney shouted. “I wish I had never gotten you!” He stormed off, leaving Ron behind. That evening, Barney noticed that Ron was not at home. Worried that he might still be at school, he hurried back. At the playground, he heard a faint electronic beep (嘟嘟声) and followed the sound. He found Ron sitting alone on a bench. Ron was sitting there, working on another message. On his screen were several new versions, each an awkward attempt to help Barney make friends. One simply read, “Maybe I can be your friend first.” Ron kept trying, even after Barney had shouted at him. Barney stood quietly behind him, watching the screen. 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。 Paragraph 1: With mixed feelings, Barney slowly sat down beside Ron. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next morning, Barney entered the classroom proudly with his friend, Ron. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文： With mixed feelings, Barney slowly sat down beside Ron. He looked at the messages and realized how hard Ron had tried to help him. Although Ron often made mistakes, he had never laughed at Barney or left him alone. Instead, he had stayed by Barney’s side when everyone else turned away. Barney gently touched Ron’s arm and said, “I’m sorry, Ron.” Ron’s screen lit up with a smile. Barney realized that he already had a friend who truly cared about him. The next morning, Barney entered the classroom proudly with his friend, Ron. When some classmates laughed at Ron, Barney did not hide or walk away. Instead, he stayed beside Ron and joined the others in a game. Ron still made a few silly mistakes, but Barney laughed and helped him try again. Gradually, the classmates stopped teasing them and began to accept Ron. Barney no longer cared whether his B-bot was as clever as the others’. He had learned that friendship was not about being perfect or fitting in, but about staying by someone’s side and accepting them for who they were. 【导语】本文以男孩巴尼与他的智能机器人罗恩之间的相处为线索，讲述了巴尼因罗恩而被同学嘲笑，他对罗恩发脾气，但罗恩始终陪伴并帮他交朋友。最终巴尼意识到罗恩是真正的朋友，学会了接纳不完美，懂得了友谊的真谛。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可以写巴尼看到罗恩屏幕上笨拙却真诚的留言，内心受到触动，向罗恩道歉，并意识到罗恩一直把自己当朋友。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可以写巴尼带着罗恩走进教室后，面对同学们的嘲笑不再逃避，并帮助罗恩融入集体，同学们接受罗恩，巴尼由此明白了友谊的真正含义。 2. 续写线索：看到留言→道歉→内心触动→带罗恩进教室→不再逃避→帮助罗恩→同学接受→明白友谊真谛 3. 词类激活 行为类 接受：accept/welcome/embrace 触摸：touch/stroke/lay a hand on 情绪类 亮起来，露出笑容：light up/beam with delight/sparkle with excitement 聪明的：clever/smart/intelligent 【点睛】[高分句型1] Although Ron often made mistakes, he had never laughed at Barney or left him alone.（运用了Although引导让步状语从句） [高分句型2] He had learned that friendship was not about being perfect or fitting in, but about staying by someone’s side and accepting them for who they were.（运用了that引导宾语从句以及who引导的宾语从句） 2 / 24 1 / 24 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $2027年高考第一次质量检测 英语·答题卡 姓 名： 缺考 贴条形码区 准考证号 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 注意事项 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 1.答题前，考生先将自己的姓名、准考证号码填写清楚！ 23456789 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 并认真检查监考员所粘贴的条形码。 4 4 4 4 4 4 2. 选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂；非选择题必须用0.5mm 456789 5 5 5 5 5 黑色字迹的签字笔填写，字体工整。 6 6 6 6 6 6 3.请按题号顺序在各题的答题区内作答，超出答题区域范 789 56789 789 56789 7 7 7 围的答案无效，在草纸、试卷上作答无效。 89 8 8 4. 保持卡面清洁， 不要折叠、不要弄破、弄皱，不准使用 涂改液、刮纸刀。 9 9 9 5.正确填涂 选择题 (请用2B 铅笔填涂) B 1 2 C 12 B 謀 345 BBBB 67890 C IA] 345 67890 A C I 11213415 [AI[BIICI[DIIE JIFIIG] IAJIBIICIIDIIEJIFJL 3371890 E-- B 132331455 B B D IAJIBIICIIDIIE]IFII 5308G u AJIBIICIIDIIEJIFJI 40 IAJ[BJICJID]IEJIFJ[ 蜜 41 B C) B 164738950 Ic BBBBB D IA 12345 DI BBB 非选择题 (请在各试题的答题区内作答) 第三部分 语言运用 （共两节，满分30分) 第二节 (共10小题： 每小题1.5分，满分15分) 凳 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61 62. 63 64. 65 英语第1页（共2页） 请在各题目的答题区域内作答，肃·黑色矩形边框限定区域的答案无效！ 第四部分写作巷两节客满分抑分)，超出黑色矩形边框限定区域的答案无效！ 第一节（满分15分） 密 第二节（满分25分） Paragraph 1: 封 Paragraph 2: 线 英语第2页（共2页) 学校 班级 姓名 准考证号 密 封 线 0 i ■第一节听下面五段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。You should have come earlier to see the appealing beginning of the live music festival in this park.

That's beautifully said. So how do you keep students engaged by . reminding them that technology is just a tool? The natural baLance is irreplacable. My students do various experiments with urbs, but I recommend that they should learn urban functions first. You are so sensible. Thank you for sharing. 听下面的录音，回答第十四至第十六小题。现在你有15秒钟的时间阅读这三个小题。Lisa, long time. no. See, what are you up to these days? Are you a designer at a fashion studio for a trainer at the gym? neither.

Today, i'd like to talk about a common problem among teenagers being addicted to social media. A recent survey shows that seventy two percent of high school students use social media for over two hours every day, with most starting at the age of thirteen or fourteen. On one hand, social media helps students stay connected with friends, share interesting stories, and even access free educational resources like online courses and steady tips. On the other hand, IT brings many problems. Parents and teachers have noticed that students who spend too much time on social media often have trouble focusing in class. They may also feel upset after comparing their daily lives with the perfect posts online, which makes them lose confidence. What's worse, some students get disturbed by messages during study time, leading to a drop in grades. Experts suggest that instead of banning social media completely, school should teach students to manage their screen time wisely. For example, setting a fix time for checking social media after finishing homework, or choosing educational accounts to follow instead of those with meaningless content. Remember, social media is a tool IT can either help us or harm us, depending on how we use IT. Good morning, everyone.

Primarily, my parents wanted me to try out a sport that could make me enjoy workouts; I also knew that my mom loved playing it in Venezuela during her youth. I thought maybe I could feel the same. Indeed, I fell in love with it after just a couple of practices. Between practices, I would stretch (伸出) my arms out, hold my hands together and push my wrists down to try to build muscle memory of the perfect platform. I would catch the ball, focusing on forming a triangular (三角形的) shape each time, with my right hand guiding the movement. Each time I’d release the ball upwards, I knew I was one try closer to getting it right. I worked tirelessly because I wanted to get better. I wanted to be great one day. However, I lacked the head start most girls had. I started playing years after many other girls had. I was thrown into the deep end when the club where I practiced placed me on their most competitive team for my age group mid-season. Most of the girls did not welcome me. While this competition within and between teams was sometimes productive, it proved to be unhealthy. It was dangerous when it reached a tipping point. By the end of my freshman year of high school, I’d reached my breaking point. Over four years, I only touched a volleyball a couple of times and only in casual settings. When the opportunity came to play with one of my best friends in a series of friendly matches, I hesitated. I eventually agreed, making it a point not to be so hard on myself. Volleyball finally brought the same enjoyment that had made me fall in love with it. I look forward to every opportunity I have to play now. I expect there will be more volleyball matches. 24．Why did the author choose to play volleyball? A．To find joy in exercise. B．To copy her mother’s experience. C．To be a great player. D．To prove herself to others. 25．What did the author do to improve her volleyball skills? A．She practiced the correct hand position. B．She stretched her arms for strength.

B．It kept her away from volleyball. C．It taught her to handle teammates. D．It proved that hard work pays off. 27．What does the text indicate? A．Early practice guarantees better performance. B．Joy returns when you ease up on yourself. C．A strict coach makes a great player. D．Pressure sometimes breaks a person. C Greenland sharks, the mysterious giants lying low in the deep, cold waters of the Arctic and North Atlantic, are known for their extraordinarily long life — some can live for over 400 years. Scientists have long wondered how these creatures manage to outlive all other vertebrates (脊椎动物). Through a series of studies, they desire to reveal the secrets behind their long life. Lily Fogg, a biologist at the University of Basel in Switzerland, and her team focused on the sharks’ eyes. Examining tissue from ten Greenland sharks, including some up to 150 years old, they found that these animals possess all the necessary cellular structures for vision in the deep sea’s dim light. Surprisingly, the eye tissue showed little sign of aging. Fogg suggests this may be due to highly active DNA repair mechanisms that prevent cell death and tissue degeneration. A separate study of the sharks’ sets of genes also pointed to enhanced DNA repair functions. However, not all organs benefit from such protection. Alessandro Cellerino, an Italian physiologist, led a study on the sharks’ hearts. Examining six Greenland sharks, his team discovered that their hearts accumulate tough scars and cellular damage over time. In humans, similar scarring would indicate cardiovascular (心血管) disease, hardening the heart and reducing its pumping efficiency. Catherine Macdonald, an ecologist at the University of Miami, finds these findings fascinating. She notes that any animal with such a long lifetime must possess both repair and maintenance abilities. While studying living Greenland sharks is difficult owing to their deep-sea habitat — they can dive to 2,200 meters, Macdonald believes that understanding their long life can offer valuable insights into human aging. However, she cautions against drawing quick conclusions on human health, emphasizing that these discoveries are just the beginning of a much longer scientific journey. 28．What is the scientists’ attitude to Greenland sharks’ long life? A．Shocked. B．Curious. C．Doubtful. D．Indifferent. 29．What can be inferred about Greenland sharks’ hearts? A．They stop functioning at an old age. B．They age faster than their eyes. C．They are free of age-related injuries. D．They can repair damage thoroughly. 30．What does Macdonald think of the findings? A．They are difficult to understand. B．They lack corresponding evidence. C．They offer conclusions on human health. D．They are important for further study. 31．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．How Greenland Sharks Resist Aging B．How Greenland Sharks Live in the Sea C．How Greenland Sharks Get Genetic Protection D．How Greenland Sharks Keep Healthy for Long D Scientists are advancing brain-computer interface (BCI) technology with a breakthrough system that translates inner speech into audible words. Developed by US researchers, this “thought decoder (解码器)” achieved 74% accuracy in converting the imagined speech of four paralyzed volunteers into sound. Unlike earlier BCIs, which relied on brain signals from attempted speech or writing, the new device directly interprets neural patterns linked to phonemes (speech units), aiming to restore fluent communication for those with speech or motor disabilities. The system works by implanting sensors in the motor cortex (运动皮层), the brain region controlling movement, including speech. As volunteers think of words, machine learning algorithms (算法) analyze neural activity to identify phoneme patterns and reconstruct sentences. Stanford neuroscientist Benyamin Meschede-Krasa explains, “If you just have to think about speech instead of actually trying to speak, it’s potentially easier and faster.” Researchers discovered overlapping brain signals between attempted and imagined speech, but the system could distinguish them through probability calculations. For example, it recognized 125,000 words by linking frequent phoneme combinations. “These patterns are a similar but smaller version of attempted speech activity,” notes Stanford’s Frank Willett, adding, “We decoded them well enough to prove the principle, but not as well as attempted speech.” There’s still a long way to go here, and the BCI often fell far short of that 74% maximum accuracy rating. However, by utilizing upgraded implant technology and mapping more of the brain for thought cues, the researchers are confident that the system can be quickly improved over the next few years. Another issue to overcome is the potential for translating, logging, and speaking out inner monologues that are intended to be kept private — not something you want in a BCI. Safeguards like thinking of a special password start and stop decoding could be implemented here, the researchers suggest. This concept was trialed in the experiments with 98 percent accuracy. This follows other progress, such as a recent real-time thought-decoding study (personalized to one individual). “The future of BCIs is bright,” Willett says. “This gives hope that speech BCIs may one day restore communication as fluent and natural as conversational speech.” 32．How does the new BCI system differ from earlier models? A．It uses external sensors instead of implants. B．It requires physical movement to generate speech. C．It relies on brain signals from attempted writing only. D．It directly decodes neural patterns associated with inner speech. 33．What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A．Benyamin Meschede-Krasa invented the new BCI system. B．The motor cortex is only responsible for speaking movements. C．Machine learning plays a key role in linking brain signals to words. D．The new BCI needs users to silently speak words to generate neural signals. 34．What does the underlined word “overlapping” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Conflicting completely. B．Coexisting partially. C．Functioning independently. D．Changing constantly. 35．What privacy concern is raised about the BCI system? A．It stores thoughts without user approval. B．It might decode unintended private thoughts. C．It cannot differentiate between multiple users. D．It requires users to share mental passwords publicly 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。 Street names help us figure out where we are. 36 Some names, like 125th Street, are just descriptions of locations. But often, streets are named after people, which places us in a historical or political context too. Not far from where my brother lives in north London is a street called Kitchener Road. Just behind the lamp post is an old sign, made of thick iron, bearing the name. 37 That sign seems to say this person was and still is deserving of recognition. But Kitchener Road reminded me of Britain’s history of colonial (殖民地的) rule, as Kitchener (1850－1916) was a cruel British military officer across Asia and Africa. Saying street names are markers of history attracts two types of criticism. One is that it’s nothing more than a storm in a teacup. Street names don’t really matter. 38 But naming streets after people responsible for killings means continuing to celebrate them and making that view of history seem normal in everyday life. So what should we do? 39 Another option is the Amsterdam approach. There, a street honoring anti-apartheid (反种族隔离) leader Albert Luthuli has a sign noting: “Formerly: Louis Botha street,” named after a prime minister of colonial South Africa. Where controversial names remain, people are also creating walking tours to provide fuller historical context. In Glasgow, a tour was organized to make people know about the city’s role in the enslavement of people. This practice is a creative response to damaging histories and provides local communities with a thoughtful way forward. Walking away from Kitchener Road, I thought of a different Kitchener: the legendary Trinidadian calypso musician. Upon arriving in England, he sang London is the Place for Me. If Kitchener Road must keep its name, I’d prefer to imagine they honor the “King of Calypso,” not the colonial butcher. 40 A．This idea works in two ways. B．In my view, such streets should be renamed. C．The other concern is that renaming may erase history. D．Perhaps reinterpreting street names is an approach we can adopt. E．To name a street after a person is a way of honoring his or her achievements. F．Old street names can sometimes encourage people to investigate local history. G．The real question is not whether history matters, but how it should be presented. 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。 In Blue Earth, Minnesota, travelers often pulled off the highway hoping to meet a nonexistent giant.

He was quiet and often found it difficult to join conversations, so he had few close friends. While almost every student owned a B-bot, a smart robot that could connect to the Internet, Barney was one of the few who did not. His father finally bought him one for his birthday. Its name was Ron. Unfortunately, Ron was different from other B-bots. He was slow to understand social situations. Worse still, he often said the wrong thing at the wrong time. At first, Barney found Ron amusing. But as his classmates showed off their clever B-bots, Barney became self-conscious. The other students laughed at Ron’s mistakes and called him a “broken” B-bot. Some even refused to let Ron join their games. They also teased (嘲弄) Barney for having such a strange B-bot. Barney tried to ignore them, but he became increasingly embarrassed. Ron noticed this and stayed close to Barney, even though he did not know how to make things better. Seeing Barney struggle to make friends, Ron tried to help, but often misunderstood social situations. Once, he loudly announced, “Barney has no friends nearby,” making everyone laugh. One afternoon, things went too far. Barney was talking to some classmates when Ron suddenly announced, “Attention, everyone! Barney needs friends! Please raise your hand if you want to be his friend. Don’t be shy — Barney is waiting!” Several students burst into laughter. Barney’s face burned with embarrassment. “Why can’t you be like the other B-bots?” Barney shouted. “I wish I had never gotten you!” He stormed off, leaving Ron behind. That evening, Barney noticed that Ron was not at home. Worried that he might still be at school, he hurried back. At the playground, he heard a faint electronic beep (嘟嘟声) and followed the sound. He found Ron sitting alone on a bench. Ron was sitting there, working on another message. On his screen were several new versions, each an awkward attempt to help Barney make friends. One simply read, “Maybe I can be your friend first.” Ron kept trying, even after Barney had shouted at him. Barney stood quietly behind him, watching the screen. 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。 Paragraph 1: With mixed feelings, Barney slowly sat down beside Ron. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next morning, Barney entered the classroom proudly with his friend, Ron. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 24 1 / 24 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
