B My phone buzzed with a video titled “WARNING: 5 Foods That Are Actually Plastic.” My mother doesn’t offer advice; she issues warnings. I suspect her phone has declared war on me. Every time she scrolls, the feed whispers to her that my favorite snack is a “poison”. I never challenge her claims, since she trusts a forwarded article more than my college degree. One day, she was telling me about a fitness contest at her gym, and I started lecturing about body fat percentages. While I was spreading all this wisdom, I was glued to the sofa, extending one leg like a crane to grab the remote with my big toe to avoid sitting up. She was watching me with a blank expression, “If you worked out as hard as you avoided standing up, you would be in great shape now.” To my face, she’s a critic, but I caught her describing me as a “highly intellectual, talented person” on a call with my aunt. From the next room, I wondered, “Wait, who is she talking about? Am I that person?” She is the only one allowed to roast her children. It’s a “membership-only” club. Even when she praises me, it’s her way of saying, “I raised this, so of course it’s excellent,” although she just told me five minutes ago that my room looks like a disaster zone. Despite her warnings, she’s always the first I run to when I need help. Every festival or family event becomes her next design assignment. I send her screenshots of high-fashion looks, like a creative director with impossible demands. She looks at the picture, gives her signature nervous laugh and says, “I’m not a certified fashion designer.” But then she spends hours on the floor with chalk and a measuring tape. She eventually creates her own edition, and somehow, her version turns out better than the original. And maybe that’s just another way mothers say they love you. 4. Why does the author avoid challenging her mother’s claims? A. It will hurt her mother’s feelings. B. She respects her mother’s authority. C. It is useless to argue with her mother. D. She believes in warnings from her mother. 5. How does the mother sound in paragraph 3? A. Deeply annoyed. B. Playfully mean. C. Genuinely proud. D. Bitterly jealous. 6. What does the “membership-only club” indicate? A. Only the mother can criticize the author. B. Family members get automatic membership. C. The mother only praises the author in private. D. Club members are encouraged to judge the author. 7. What can be inferred about the mother from paragraph 6? A. She enjoys assigning festival tasks. B. She values professional certification. C. She takes pride in raising a designer. D. She expresses love through practical acts. C While “chaos gardening” became a viral social media trend in 2023, its core philosophy of letting nature lead has come to stay — it’s a return to time-honored ecological gardening principles, reimagined for modern homeowners. Unlike strictly planned, pesticide-reliant gardens, this approach rejects inflexible design, instead sowing a diverse mix of seeds and embracing the unpredictability of natural growth. Far from mere “messy gardening”, the practice is rooted in ecological science: a diverse plant community creates layered habitats that support pollinators (授粉者), soil microbes, and native wildlife. As climate anxiety and biodiversity loss grow, chaos gardening has emerged as an accessible solution for ordinary people to contribute to ecosystem restoration. It eliminates the need for artificial chemicals, reduces water pollution, and captures carbon. As Dr. Rebecca Hartman, an ecologist at Washington University, puts it, “What looks like randomness to the untrained eye is actually a complicated web of ecological relationships. Chaos gardening taps into that complexity instead of fighting it.” Critics often dismiss it as unmanaged neglect (忽视), but successful chaos gardening requires intentionality, not inaction. The key lies in selecting native, locally adapted seed mixes: non-native invasive species can outcompete native plants, disturbing local ecosystems, while carefully chosen native plants provide sustained food and shelter for local pollinators. Results are naturally variable — some gardens bloom into lively wildflower fields, others evolve into food-producing landscapes, making each space a unique ecological experiment. Landscape designer Marcus Chen, who has applied chaos gardening principles to over fifty residential projects, notes, “People are surprised when I tell them that a ‘wild’ garden often takes more thoughtful planning than a traditional one. You’re not abandoning care — you’re redirecting it toward the right plant choices and then stepping back.” For beginners, it offers a low-pressure entry to gardening, free from the pressure of perfection. It’s more than a gardening style; it’s a mindset shift, inviting people to observe, adapt, and coexist with nature, rather than control it. In an era of environmental crisis, chaos gardening turns small, personal outdoor spaces into agents of ecological hope. 8. How does the author present the core idea of chaos gardening in the first paragraph? A. By listing its benefits. B. By introducing its origin. C. By showing its popularity. D. By describing its practices. 9. What does Dr. Hartman say about chaos gardening? A. It restores the ecological balance. B. It upsets ecological relationships. C. It employs ecological networks. D. It reduces ecological complexity. 10. Why does the author quote Marcus Chen? A. To highlight intentional efforts. B. To support critics’ opinions. C. To advise growing native seeds. D. To show the benefits of wild gardens. 11. What can be the suitable title for the text? A. Messy Ways, Clear Results B. Chaos Planted, Hope Grown C. Wild Looks, Wise Planning D. Nature Leading, Diversity Lost D A research team from AMOLF in Amsterdam has created a soft robot that walks, jumps, and swims — all without a brain, electronics, or AI. As described in the study published in Science, it has no computer, no software, and no sensors. And still, it moves with surprising autonomy and speed, simply because of its body and how it interacts with the world. So, what’s really driving it? Underneath the movement is a principle you’ve probably seen, though you might have overlooked. Think of those shaky, air-filled tube dancers swinging freely around in front of gas stations. The same physics that makes them move could hold the key to the next generation of autonomous robots. Powered by a continuous stream of air alone, each of the robot’s soft, tubular legs begins to swing. On its own, each leg waves around randomly. But when many are coupled together, their motions quickly synchronize. “Suddenly, order emerges from chaos,” says the first author Alberto Comoretto. “No controllers, no programming. Complex collective motions arise just from simple interactions.” Even more surprising, the synchronization adapts. If the robot runs into an obstacle, it adjusts itself. When it moves from land to water, it quickly shifts to freestyle swimming. All the movement emerges from the tight coupling between body and environment. The research challenges the conventional idea that robots need complicated control systems to realize lifelike behavior. “Simple objects, like tubes, can give rise to complex and functional behavior, provided we understand how to take advantage of its physics,” says principal investigator Bas Overvelde. “There is no brain, no computer. Essentially, it’s a machine. But when properly designed, it can outperform many robotic systems and behave like an artificial creature.” Possible future applications range from smart pills to space technology: safe microrobots that can be swallowed and release drugs after autonomously reaching the target tissue, robotic wearable suits matching the walking steps without processors, reducing power consumption while enhancing human strength. More broadly, these examples illustrate how this research opens doors to mechanical systems that behave as if they had a computer, without actually needing one. 12. Why does the author mention tube dancers in paragraph 2? A. To stress the wide use of robots. B. To explain the working principle. C. To show the need for observation. D. To introduce a daily application. 13. What does the underlined word “synchronize” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Slow down. B. Match up. C. Change direction. D. Consume energy. 14. What enables the soft robot to adjust itself? A. Its ability to get over obstacles B. Its connection with a computer. C. Its reliable performance underwater. D. Its integration with the environment. 15. What should robots be like according to Bas Overvelde? A. Cost-effective. B. Physics-based. C. Function-focused. D. Human-controlled. 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。 What’s the first thing you notice when you step into a museum? Is it the long-faded colors of ancient artifacts or the sounds of visitors discussing what they see? ____16____ Some locations might even offer an eatable treat inspired by an ancient recipe. Museums allow us to indirectly experience the past by tapping into our primary senses — sight, hearing, touch, taste. ____17____ “Representations of the past are often scentless (无气味的), but smell probably played a huge role in many historical realities,” says Barbara Huber, an archaeologist in Germany. ____18____ She and her workmates tracked down some molecular (分子的) remains that can let us smell the past. Through trial and error, they created Scent of the Afterlife, a mix of scent that would have accompanied mummification processes in ancient Egypt. “____19____ One of the reasons is that it is incredibly hard to study. The scents and smells in the past were already gone before archaeologists could come and investigate the sites,” says Huber. Luckily, new chemical and biomolecular methods in archaeology have kind of reopened the door to continue to study these things. “These molecules that we detect can tell us a lot about ancient materials. At the same time, when we reconstruct them like we did with Scent of the Afterlife, we can bring a piece of the past to visitors today. ____20____” says Huber. “If you enter a room and can somehow smell how it must have smelled in a mummification room in ancient Egypt, you’re experiencing the history in a different way. History isn’t something we only see.” A. It can also enrich our understanding of smells. B. However, more often than not, smell is missing. C. Smell has long been ignored in studying the past. D. Maybe there’s a copy of a sculpture you can touch. E. And the exhibit in the museum is not just a displayed object. F. This “aha moment” changed her attitude towards the research. G. The obvious absence of scent in the study of history inspired her. 第三部分 英语知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 For nearly ten years, Lara worked in the circus as a costume maker.

Every dollar I earned from my part-time job was put into a glass jar on my desk. Photography was more than a hobby for me — it was how I saw the world. But my father, a local factory repairman, never understood it. “It’s too expensive and impractical,” he would say, wiping grease (油脂) off his hands. My mother supported me quietly instead. She would leave photography magazines on my bed from time to time. As I saved money day by day, I finally had enough to order the lens online a week before my birthday. Yet on my birthday, my father gave me a worn camera bag. I forced a smile, but felt disappointed — he didn’t know which lens I wanted. Later, my mother found me sitting in my room, staring at the wall. After a quiet moment, she touched the old bag gently. “He tries,” she said gently. “Not in the way you hope, but he does.” Her words made me doubt my anger. I pretended not to care, yet felt a little guilty. When my lens arrived, somehow, I felt nothing but emptiness. That night, I was looking through a photographers’ forum (论坛) when a post caught my eye: “The best photo I ever took was of my father’s hands.” It showed a wonderful picture of rough, scarred hands, just like my father’s, worn out from long factory work. Moved deeply, I thought of my mother’s words. Suddenly, I realised that I had only wanted my father to understand my passion, but I had never tried to understand him — not his tiredness, nor his silent care for me in his own way. I looked at the light in the garage and remembered my mother’s words. It was unfair to ask for his understanding while ignoring his world. I had waited passively. Now, it was my turn to try. 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。 I got up, took my camera, and walked into the garage. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Early the next morning, my father saw the photo on the kitchen table. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 福州八中2026—2027学年第一学期质检卷二 高三英语 考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分 2026.10.10 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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.

While I was spreading all this wisdom, I was glued to the sofa, extending one leg like a crane to grab the remote with my big toe to avoid sitting up. She was watching me with a blank expression, “If you worked out as hard as you avoided standing up, you would be in great shape now.” To my face, she’s a critic, but I caught her describing me as a “highly intellectual, talented person” on a call with my aunt. From the next room, I wondered, “Wait, who is she talking about? Am I that person?” She is the only one allowed to roast her children. It’s a “membership-only” club. Even when she praises me, it’s her way of saying, “I raised this, so of course it’s excellent,” although she just told me five minutes ago that my room looks like a disaster zone. Despite her warnings, she’s always the first I run to when I need help. Every festival or family event becomes her next design assignment. I send her screenshots of high-fashion looks, like a creative director with impossible demands. She looks at the picture, gives her signature nervous laugh and says, “I’m not a certified fashion designer.” But then she spends hours on the floor with chalk and a measuring tape. She eventually creates her own edition, and somehow, her version turns out better than the original. And maybe that’s just another way mothers say they love you. 4. Why does the author avoid challenging her mother’s claims? A. It will hurt her mother’s feelings. B. She respects her mother’s authority. C. It is useless to argue with her mother. D. She believes in warnings from her mother. 5. How does the mother sound in paragraph 3? A. Deeply annoyed. B. Playfully mean. C. Genuinely proud. D. Bitterly jealous. 6. What does the “membership-only club” indicate? A. Only the mother can criticize the author. B. Family members get automatic membership. C. The mother only praises the author in private. D. Club members are encouraged to judge the author. 7. What can be inferred about the mother from paragraph 6? A. She enjoys assigning festival tasks. B. She values professional certification. C. She takes pride in raising a designer. D. She expresses love through practical acts. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者与母亲之间充满吐槽却饱含深情的日常互动，展现了母亲用独特的批评式关爱表达对孩子的爱。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I never challenge her claims, since she trusts a forwarded article more than my college degree. (我从不质疑她的说法，因为比起我的大学学历，她更相信转发来的文章。)”可知，母亲的观念根深蒂固，与她争论毫无意义，所以作者从不挑战她的说法。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中作者的情况“While I was spreading all this wisdom, I was glued to the sofa, extending one leg like a crane to grab the remote with my big toe to avoid sitting up. (我一边滔滔不绝地分享这些真知灼见，一边牢牢赖在沙发上，像鹤一样伸出一条腿，用大脚趾去勾遥控器，就不用坐起身。)”以及作者妈妈的评论“If you worked out as hard as you avoided standing up, you would be in great shape now. (如果你像避免站起来一样努力锻炼，你现在身材会很好。)”可知，母亲看到作者懒得用脚趾抓遥控器，用调侃的语气吐槽她的懒惰，由此可推知母亲的语气是开玩笑式的刻薄。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中“membership-only club”前面的“She is the only one allowed to roast her children. (只有她才被允许吐槽自己的孩子。)”可知，该短语指只有母亲才有资格批评作者，别人不可以随意评判她的孩子。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“Every festival or family event becomes her next design assignment. I send her screenshots of high-fashion looks, like a creative director with impossible demands. (每一个节日或家庭活动，都成了她的下一项设计任务。我会把高定造型的截图发给她，就像一个有着各种苛刻要求的创意总监。)”、妈妈的回复“I’m not a certified fashion designer. (我并不是持证时尚设计师。)”以及“But then she spends hours on the floor with chalk and a measuring tape. (但她还是花几个小时在地上用粉笔和卷尺量来量去。)”可知，母亲嘴上说自己不是专业设计师，实际却用心为作者制作节日服装。由此可推知母亲是通过实际行动来表达爱的。 C While “chaos gardening” became a viral social media trend in 2023, its core philosophy of letting nature lead has come to stay — it’s a return to time-honored ecological gardening principles, reimagined for modern homeowners. Unlike strictly planned, pesticide-reliant gardens, this approach rejects inflexible design, instead sowing a diverse mix of seeds and embracing the unpredictability of natural growth. Far from mere “messy gardening”, the practice is rooted in ecological science: a diverse plant community creates layered habitats that support pollinators (授粉者), soil microbes, and native wildlife. As climate anxiety and biodiversity loss grow, chaos gardening has emerged as an accessible solution for ordinary people to contribute to ecosystem restoration. It eliminates the need for artificial chemicals, reduces water pollution, and captures carbon. As Dr. Rebecca Hartman, an ecologist at Washington University, puts it, “What looks like randomness to the untrained eye is actually a complicated web of ecological relationships. Chaos gardening taps into that complexity instead of fighting it.” Critics often dismiss it as unmanaged neglect (忽视), but successful chaos gardening requires intentionality, not inaction. The key lies in selecting native, locally adapted seed mixes: non-native invasive species can outcompete native plants, disturbing local ecosystems, while carefully chosen native plants provide sustained food and shelter for local pollinators. Results are naturally variable — some gardens bloom into lively wildflower fields, others evolve into food-producing landscapes, making each space a unique ecological experiment. Landscape designer Marcus Chen, who has applied chaos gardening principles to over fifty residential projects, notes, “People are surprised when I tell them that a ‘wild’ garden often takes more thoughtful planning than a traditional one. You’re not abandoning care — you’re redirecting it toward the right plant choices and then stepping back.” For beginners, it offers a low-pressure entry to gardening, free from the pressure of perfection. It’s more than a gardening style; it’s a mindset shift, inviting people to observe, adapt, and coexist with nature, rather than control it. In an era of environmental crisis, chaos gardening turns small, personal outdoor spaces into agents of ecological hope. 8. How does the author present the core idea of chaos gardening in the first paragraph? A. By listing its benefits. B. By introducing its origin. C. By showing its popularity. D. By describing its practices. 9. What does Dr. Hartman say about chaos gardening? A. It restores the ecological balance. B. It upsets ecological relationships. C. It employs ecological networks. D. It reduces ecological complexity. 10. Why does the author quote Marcus Chen? A. To highlight intentional efforts. B. To support critics’ opinions. C. To advise growing native seeds. D. To show the benefits of wild gardens. 11. What can be the suitable title for the text? A. Messy Ways, Clear Results B. Chaos Planted, Hope Grown C. Wild Looks, Wise Planning D. Nature Leading, Diversity Lost 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】主要说明了混沌园艺顺应自然、种植多样本土植物，依托生态原理保护生物多样性、改善环境。它并非放任荒芜，而是精心规划，以自然方式为生态保护带来希望。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“While “chaos gardening” became a viral social media trend in 2023, its core philosophy of letting nature lead has come to stay — it’s a return to time-honored ecological gardening principles, reimagined for modern homeowners.

Chaos gardening taps into that complexity instead of fighting it.”(正如华盛顿大学的生态学家丽贝卡·哈特曼博士所说：“对于未经训练的眼睛而言看似毫无规律的现象，实际上却是一张错综复杂的生态关系网。而‘混沌园艺’正是利用了这种复杂性，而非与之对抗。”)”可知，哈特曼博士认为“混沌园艺”运用了生态网络。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Landscape designer Marcus Chen, who has applied chaos gardening principles to over fifty residential projects, notes, “People are surprised when I tell them that a ‘wild’ garden often takes more thoughtful planning than a traditional one. You’re not abandoning care — you’re redirecting it toward the right plant choices and then stepping back.”(景观设计师马库斯·陈将混沌园艺理念应用于超过五十个住宅项目中。他指出：“当我告诉人们‘野生’花园往往比传统花园需要更精心的规划时，他们都会感到惊讶。实际上，并非放弃对植物的照料，而是将精力重新分配到正确的植物选择上，然后退一步观察。”)”可知，作者引用马库斯·陈的观点是为了强调有意为之的努力。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“While “chaos gardening” became a viral social media trend in 2023, its core philosophy of letting nature lead has come to stay — it’s a return to time-honored ecological gardening principles, reimagined for modern homeowners.

As described in the study published in Science, it has no computer, no software, and no sensors. And still, it moves with surprising autonomy and speed, simply because of its body and how it interacts with the world. So, what’s really driving it? Underneath the movement is a principle you’ve probably seen, though you might have overlooked. Think of those shaky, air-filled tube dancers swinging freely around in front of gas stations. The same physics that makes them move could hold the key to the next generation of autonomous robots. Powered by a continuous stream of air alone, each of the robot’s soft, tubular legs begins to swing. On its own, each leg waves around randomly. But when many are coupled together, their motions quickly synchronize. “Suddenly, order emerges from chaos,” says the first author Alberto Comoretto. “No controllers, no programming. Complex collective motions arise just from simple interactions.” Even more surprising, the synchronization adapts. If the robot runs into an obstacle, it adjusts itself. When it moves from land to water, it quickly shifts to freestyle swimming. All the movement emerges from the tight coupling between body and environment. The research challenges the conventional idea that robots need complicated control systems to realize lifelike behavior. “Simple objects, like tubes, can give rise to complex and functional behavior, provided we understand how to take advantage of its physics,” says principal investigator Bas Overvelde. “There is no brain, no computer. Essentially, it’s a machine. But when properly designed, it can outperform many robotic systems and behave like an artificial creature.” Possible future applications range from smart pills to space technology: safe microrobots that can be swallowed and release drugs after autonomously reaching the target tissue, robotic wearable suits matching the walking steps without processors, reducing power consumption while enhancing human strength. More broadly, these examples illustrate how this research opens doors to mechanical systems that behave as if they had a computer, without actually needing one. 12. Why does the author mention tube dancers in paragraph 2? A. To stress the wide use of robots. B. To explain the working principle. C. To show the need for observation. D. To introduce a daily application. 13. What does the underlined word “synchronize” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Slow down. B. Match up. C. Change direction. D. Consume energy. 14. What enables the soft robot to adjust itself? A. Its ability to get over obstacles B. Its connection with a computer. C. Its reliable performance underwater. D. Its integration with the environment. 15. What should robots be like according to Bas Overvelde? A. Cost-effective. B. Physics-based. C. Function-focused. D. Human-controlled. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了科研团队研发出的一款软体机器人，该研究打破传统机器人认知，在多个领域具备应用潜力。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“So, what’s really driving it? Underneath the movement is a principle you’ve probably seen, though you might have overlooked. Think of those shaky, air-filled tube dancers swinging freely around in front of gas stations. The same physics that makes them move could hold the key to the next generation of autonomous robots.(那么，究竟是什么在驱动它？这种运动背后隐藏着一个你可能已经见过但或许忽略了的原则。想象一下那些在加油站前自由摆动、充满空气的管状舞者。让它们动起来的这套物理原理，可能是下一代自主机器人的关键)”可知，作者先点明这款机器人的运动背后是一个大家可能见过的原理，接着举加油站前充气管状舞者的例子，说明让这些管子舞动的物理原理正是下一代自主机器人的核心关键，目的是用常见事物解释机器人的工作原理。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“On its own, each leg waves around randomly. But when many are coupled together, their motions quickly synchronize.(单独来看，每条支腿随机摆动。但多条支腿连接在一起时，它们的动作会迅速synchronize)”及“Suddenly, order emerges from chaos(混乱之中，秩序骤然产生)”可知，每条腿单独运动时是随机晃动，多条腿连接在一起时，动作就从混乱变得协调有序，也就是动作互相匹配、同步。match up意为“同步、匹配”，意义相近。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“If the robot runs into an obstacle, it adjusts itself.(如果机器人碰到障碍物，它会自行调整)”及“All the movement emerges from the tight coupling between body and environment.(所有运动都源自本体与环境之间的紧密互动)”可知，机器人能够自我调整，源于它和周围环境之间的相互作用。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““Simple objects, like tubes, can give rise to complex and functional behavior, provided we understand how to take advantage of its physics,” says principal investigator Bas Overvelde.(首席研究员Bas Overvelde说：“只要我们懂得利用底层物理原理，像软管这类简单物体，就能产生复杂且具备功能性的运动。”)”可推知，Bas Overvelde认为机器人应该是基于物理学原理的。 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。 What’s the first thing you notice when you step into a museum? Is it the long-faded colors of ancient artifacts or the sounds of visitors discussing what they see? ____16____ Some locations might even offer an eatable treat inspired by an ancient recipe. Museums allow us to indirectly experience the past by tapping into our primary senses — sight, hearing, touch, taste. ____17____ “Representations of the past are often scentless (无气味的), but smell probably played a huge role in many historical realities,” says Barbara Huber, an archaeologist in Germany. ____18____ She and her workmates tracked down some molecular (分子的) remains that can let us smell the past. Through trial and error, they created Scent of the Afterlife, a mix of scent that would have accompanied mummification processes in ancient Egypt. “____19____ One of the reasons is that it is incredibly hard to study. The scents and smells in the past were already gone before archaeologists could come and investigate the sites,” says Huber. Luckily, new chemical and biomolecular methods in archaeology have kind of reopened the door to continue to study these things. “These molecules that we detect can tell us a lot about ancient materials. At the same time, when we reconstruct them like we did with Scent of the Afterlife, we can bring a piece of the past to visitors today. ____20____” says Huber. “If you enter a room and can somehow smell how it must have smelled in a mummification room in ancient Egypt, you’re experiencing the history in a different way. History isn’t something we only see.” A. It can also enrich our understanding of smells. B. However, more often than not, smell is missing. C. Smell has long been ignored in studying the past. D. Maybe there’s a copy of a sculpture you can touch. E. And the exhibit in the museum is not just a displayed object. F. This “aha moment” changed her attitude towards the research. G. The obvious absence of scent in the study of history inspired her. 【答案】16. D 17. B 18. G 19. C 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了传统博物馆主要通过视觉、听觉、触觉、味觉让人们感受历史，但嗅觉一直被忽视。德国考古学家Barbara Huber受此启发，利用现代分子技术复原古代气味，让参观者能通过嗅觉更真实、立体地体验历史，使博物馆展览不再只是单纯的展品展示。 【16题详解】 根据后文“Museums allow us to indirectly experience the past by tapping into our primary senses — sight, hearing, touch, taste.(博物馆让我们通过调动视觉、听觉、触觉、味觉等主要感官间接体验过去。)”可知，该部分应是讲到了博物馆提供的“视觉、听觉、触觉、味觉”等感官体验，而空前内容“Is it the long-faded colors of ancient artifacts or the sounds of visitors discussing what they see?(是那些古老文物早已褪色的色彩，还是游客们讨论所见之物的声音？)”以及空后内容“Some locations might even offer an eatable treat inspired by an ancient recipe.(有些地方甚至会提供一种源自古老食谱的可食用美食。)”涉及了“视觉”，“听觉”和“味觉”，由此推知，设空处应涉及博物馆提供的“触觉”。选项D“Maybe there’s a copy of a sculpture you can touch.(或许这里有一件雕塑作品的复制品，你可以摸一摸。)”讲到了“触觉”，符合语境分析，前后衔接紧密。故选D项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Museums allow us to indirectly experience the past by tapping into our primary senses — sight, hearing, touch, taste.(博物馆让我们通过调动视觉、听觉、触觉、味觉等主要感官间接体验过去。)”提出博物馆提供了“视觉、听觉、触觉、味觉”感官体验，缺少“嗅觉（气味）”，由此推知，设空句应提及“嗅觉（气味）”，选项B“However, more often than not, smell is missing.(然而，通常情况下，气味是缺失的。)”提出了“气味缺失”，符合逻辑，且与前文构成转折，同时呼应后文“Representations of the past are often scentless…(对过去的再现往往是没有气味的……)”。故选B项。 【18题详解】 根据前文“Representations of the past are often scentless (无气味的), but smell probably played a huge role in many historical realities(对过去的再现往往是没有气味的，但气味很可能在许多历史现实中扮演了重要角色)”可知，Barbara Huber提出“历史呈现中缺少气味，但气味很重要”，后文“She and her workmates tracked down some molecular (分子的) remains that can let us smell the past.(她和她的同事们找到了一些分子残留物，这些残留物能够让我们闻到过去的气息。)”说Huber和同事开始研究气味、还原气味。由此推知，设空处在两句之间应是承前启后的衔接句，即，“Huber做气味研究的动机”。选项G“The obvious absence of scent in the study of history inspired her.(在历史研究中那种明显缺失的“气味”给了她（研究）灵感。)”在句意上符合分析，可衔接前后内容，且“inspired(启发)”对应后文她开展的研究。故选G项。 【19题详解】 后文“One of the reasons is that it is incredibly hard to study.(其中一个原因在于，研究工作极其困难。)”解释“原因之一是研究气味非常难”，由此推知，空处需要提出结果，与后文构成“因果关系”，选项C“Smell has long been ignored in studying the past.(气味在历史研究中长期被忽略)”讲述了结果，符合因果逻辑。故选C项。 【20题详解】 前文“At the same time, when we reconstruct them like we did with Scent of the Afterlife, we can bring a piece of the past to visitors today.(与此同时，当我们像复原“来世之香”那样复原这些气味时，我们就能为今天的参观者带回一段历史。)”提及“还原气味能把过去带给游客”，由此推知，设空句紧跟其后，应继续讲述其深层意义。选项E“And the exhibit in the museum is not just a displayed object.(而博物馆里的展品并不仅仅是一件陈列出来的物品。)”在句意上可表达出“博物馆展品具有了深层含义”，用“And”与前文构成递进关系，且呼应后文“…you’re experiencing the history in a different way. History isn’t something we only see.(……你正在以一种不同的方式去体验历史。历史并非只是我们能够亲眼目睹的事物。)”。故选E项。 第三部分 英语知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 For nearly ten years, Lara worked in the circus as a costume maker.

Studies 39. Whether 40. recommended 41. are 42. sensible 43. which 44. by 45. easier 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍2026年热门饮食趋势“最大化摄入膳食纤维”，分析其益处、风险与科学摄入方法。 【36题详解】 考查连词。句意：多吃膳食纤维，或者说“膳食纤维最大化”，或许是2026年最热门的新饮食趋势。此处表示对前文的另一种说法，意为“或者”，所以用连词or。故填or。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：膳食纤维可以阻止消化酶接触糖、脂肪等易快速分解的食物，防止过多营养被人体吸收。此处位于介词from后，且absorb与逻辑主语too much之间为被动关系，所以用动名词的被动形式being absorbed。故填being absorbed。 【38题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：研究表明，每天摄入的膳食纤维越多（最高可达25至30克），患癌症、糖尿病和心脏病的风险就越低。此处作主语，根据谓语动词show可知，主语应用复数形式，所以用studies，句首首字母大写。故填Studies。 【39题详解】 考查主语从句。句意：摄入量更高时益处是否会持续增加，这一点尚不清楚。此处引导主语从句，从句不缺成分且表示“是否”含义，所以用连接词whether，位于句首，首字母大写。故填Whether。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：半条全麦面包就能让你接近每日推荐的膳食纤维摄入量，但它缺乏蔬菜中含有的多种维生素和矿物质。此处为非谓语动词作定语，修饰amount，recommend与amount之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词recommended。故填recommended。 【41题详解】 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：半条全麦面包就能让你接近每日推荐的膳食纤维摄入量，但它缺乏蔬菜中含有的多种维生素和矿物质，且可溶性膳食纤维含量也较低。此处为定语从句谓语动词，描述客观事实用一般现在时，先行词vitamins and minerals为复数，所以用are。故填are。 【42题详解】 考查形容词。句意：更合理的方法是食用各类植物性食物。此处修饰名词approach，应用形容词形式，所以用sense的形容词形式sensible意为“合理的”。故填sensible。 【43题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：一项研究综述发现，每天多吃水果和蔬菜带来的健康益处会持续增加，直到摄入量达到800克时趋于稳定。此处为“介词+关系代词”引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为800g a day，指物，在定语从句中作介词at的宾语，所以用关系代词which。故填which。 【44题详解】 考查介词。句意：从已经部分分解、更易于人体消化的膳食纤维开始，每隔几天将摄入量增加3至5克。此处表示“增加的幅度”，用介词by。故填by。 【45题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：从已经部分分解、更易于人体消化的膳食纤维开始，每隔几天将摄入量增加3至5克。此处为“find+宾语+宾补”结构，所以使用形容词作宾补，结合句意，此处暗含与普通膳食纤维相比的含义，应用比较级，所以用easy的比较级easier。故填easier。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，英语教材出版社正面向学生征求使用意见。请给你所用教材的主编Professor Nunan写一封电子邮件，内容包括： 1.使用教材的收获； 2.改进教材的建议。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Professor Nunan, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best regards, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Professor Nunan, Learning that you are gathering feedback on our English textbooks, I’m glad to share my thoughts.

Every dollar I earned from my part-time job was put into a glass jar on my desk. Photography was more than a hobby for me — it was how I saw the world. But my father, a local factory repairman, never understood it. “It’s too expensive and impractical,” he would say, wiping grease (油脂) off his hands. My mother supported me quietly instead. She would leave photography magazines on my bed from time to time. As I saved money day by day, I finally had enough to order the lens online a week before my birthday. Yet on my birthday, my father gave me a worn camera bag. I forced a smile, but felt disappointed — he didn’t know which lens I wanted. Later, my mother found me sitting in my room, staring at the wall. After a quiet moment, she touched the old bag gently. “He tries,” she said gently. “Not in the way you hope, but he does.” Her words made me doubt my anger. I pretended not to care, yet felt a little guilty. When my lens arrived, somehow, I felt nothing but emptiness. That night, I was looking through a photographers’ forum (论坛) when a post caught my eye: “The best photo I ever took was of my father’s hands.” It showed a wonderful picture of rough, scarred hands, just like my father’s, worn out from long factory work. Moved deeply, I thought of my mother’s words. Suddenly, I realised that I had only wanted my father to understand my passion, but I had never tried to understand him — not his tiredness, nor his silent care for me in his own way. I looked at the light in the garage and remembered my mother’s words. It was unfair to ask for his understanding while ignoring his world. I had waited passively. Now, it was my turn to try. 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。 I got up, took my camera, and walked into the garage. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Early the next morning, my father saw the photo on the kitchen table. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I got up, took my camera, and walked into the garage. My father was fixing a machine part attentively. I lifted my camera. Through the lens, I saw his rough hands lined deeply, covered with oil. I thought of how these hands had worked tirelessly to give me a better life. My heart felt tight. I clicked repeatedly and left silently. Back in my room, I chose a photo of his oily hand holding a tool, with warm light falling on his wrist. I printed it and put it in a frame. Early the next morning, my father saw the photo on the kitchen table. He stopped, his cup in hand, and looked at it for long. Then he reached out and touched the picture slowly, as if touching a memory. I walked over and told him I had taken it the night before. He looked at me softly, placing a heavy hand on my shoulder. “You see things,” he said. Then he added, “Maybe you can show me how the camera works someday.” Morning light filled the room. I felt a warmth that no camera could ever capture. 【解析】 【导语】本文以摄影爱好与父子隔阂为线索展开，作者攒钱想买新相机镜头，父亲不懂这份热爱、送了老旧相机包，作者满心失落；后来看到论坛帖子深受触动，意识到自己只渴望父亲理解自己，却从未试着理解父亲的辛劳与沉默的爱，决定主动走进父亲的世界、用心感受父爱。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者走进车库，默默用相机拍下父亲满是油污、辛苦劳作的双手，心生愧疚。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写父亲看到照片后的动容反应，父子二人敞开心扉，父亲主动想要了解摄影，二人达成和解。 2.续写线索：走进车库—抓拍父亲劳作双手—心生感慨—冲印装框—父亲发现照片—驻足凝视—温情对话—彼此理解 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①修理：fix/repair/mend ②看见：see/notice/spot 情绪类 ①内心触动：feel tight/be deeply moved ②温柔地：softly/gently/tenderly 【点睛】[高分句型1] I thought of how these hands had worked tirelessly to give me a better life.
