From my perspective, peer learning works better for most students. With classmates working together, we can share different ideas, solving problems more efficiently. Not only does it deepen our understanding, but it also builds communication skills. If time permits, group discussions often spark creative solutions that we might never discover alone. That said, independent learning still matters. What we should do is combine both approaches, using peer learning to exchange ideas while developing self-study habits. Only in this way can we achieve real academic growth. 第二节【参考范文】 【答案】Version 1: Still, he knew what had to be done. Gathering courage, Mark announced, “I don’t want to play basketball anymore.” The smiles on his parents’ faces froze instantly. “What do you mean?” his father asked in surprise. Taking a deep breath, Mark explained that his true passion was cheerleading although he was good at basketball. The room fell silent. His parents exchanged confused looks, struggling to understand. Mark felt his heart pounding but continued, saying he had been training for months. Just when the tension seemed unbearable, his mother finally spoke gently, “If this is what you really love, you deserve a chance — and we’ll always stand by you.” His father hesitated, then nodded slowly. A week later, it was time for the cheerleader audition. Standing on the field, Mark felt a mix of nervousness and excitement. Remembering the countless hours of practice, he pushed aside his doubts and focused on every move. When the music started, he jumped, turned and lifted with confidence. His strength and determination impressed the judges and the crowd. When the results were announced, Mark heard his name among those selected. At that moment, he spotted his parents in the stands, clapping proudly. He realized that by following his heart, he had finally stepped out of his brother’s shadow and started his own journey. Version 2: Still, he knew what had to be done. Taking a deep breath, he gathered the courage to speak. His parents’ eager faces filled him with guilt, but he could no longer hide the truth. With a steady voice, he told them that basketball was never his dream. Instead, his heart belonged to cheerleading. The room fell into a heavy silence. His father’s proud expression crumbled into disbelief, while his mother stared at him as if seeing a stranger. Mark felt the weight of their unspoken disappointment pressing down on him. Just then, Reggie stepped forward. Without a word, he placed a firm hand on Mark’s shoulder and nodded — a small gesture that spoke volumes. Tears welled in Mark’s eyes. His family didn’t fully understand yet, but at least they were willing to listen. A week later, it was time for the cheerleader audition. Mark’s heart hammered against his ribs as he walked onto the gym floor. Around him, dozens of talented athletes moved with grace and power. When his name was called, he stepped onto the mat, shut out the noise, and let his body take over. Every jump, every spin, every tumbling pass was a testament to months of secret sweat and sacrifice. The moves that once felt clumsy now flowed like music. As he struck his final pose, the room erupted in applause. Through the crowd, he spotted his family — his mother wiping tears, his father clapping with genuine pride, and Reggie cheering louder than anyone. Days later, when the team list was posted, Mark’s name was there. He was no longer chasing someone else’s glory. He had found his own. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了擅长篮球、背负家人期待的马克，内心真正热爱啦啦操，他瞒着家人私下刻苦训练，摆脱哥哥的光环、想要走出属于自己的道路，在篮球试训顺利结束后，决心向家人坦白真实梦想的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写（参考Version 1） ① 由第一段首句可知，接下来可描写马克鼓足勇气向父母坦白自己放弃篮球、热爱啦啦操的真实想法，讲述自己长期私下训练的经历，以及父母从错愕、不解到最终理解、支持他的态度转变过程。 ② 由第二段首句可知，接下来可描写马克参加啦啦操选拔时的状态、精彩的赛场表现，凭借扎实的训练成果成功入选，看到父母为自己骄傲喝彩，最终实现自我、走出哥哥光环的圆满结局。 2. 续写线索 鼓足勇气坦白真实梦想——父母错愕沉默、面露疑惑——马克坚定诉说训练经历与初心——父母释怀选择支持——马克自信参加啦啦操选拔——凭借实力成功入选——收获家人认可、活出自我 3.词汇积累 行为类： ①宣布：announce/declare ②询问：ask/inquire 情绪类： ①兴奋：excitement/thrill ②紧张，不安：nervousness/unease 【点睛】 【高分句型1】Taking a deep breath, Mark explained that his true passion was cheerleading although he was good at basketball.（运用了现在分词作状语以及that引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】When the results were announced, Mark heard his name among those selected.（运用了when引导时间状语从句以及过去分词作后置定语） 听力录音稿 Text 1 M: Is the wild elephant survey still going ahead on Tuesday? A typhoon is expected to make landfall that day. W: We’ve double-checked the latest weather forecast. To ensure everyone’s safety, we’ve postponed it by two days. Text 2 W: Could you help me move this cupboard to the bedroom, please? M: I’m sorry. I’m washing the dishes here, as you can see. Timmy is lying on the sofa in the living room. Why don’t you ask him? W: Good idea. Text 3 W: Dad, would you like a cold drink? M: Yes, a glass of iced coffee, please. It feels like an oven out there. W: Yeah. This summer seems much hotter than usual. M: And it’s said that today we’ll have record-breaking temperatures. Text 4 W: I’m in a cold sweat and have a headache. And I’m thirsty, too. M: Did you eat a hamburger at the market? W: How did you know? M: Because I’ve treated someone with the same symptoms. You probably have food poisoning. Text 5 W: Look at all those poems! How many have you written now? M: Oh, I don’t know, maybe fifty or sixty. I often find time at the weekends when my mom’s working at the hotel and the house is empty. I can think clearly then. Text 6 W: Eric, I just finished recording the audio guide for the pencil drawings that’ll be included in our modern art exhibit next week. M: That’s great. But unfortunately, we have to make one change. The drawing by Claudia Hoffman will no longer be in the exhibit. There was a scheduling mix-up, and it was promised to another museum starting next week. W: Oh, will you put anything in its place? M: No. We’ll just remove it. W: OK, I’ll make that change to the audio guide recording right away. Text 7 W: Good evening, Mr. Brown. This is Ms. Green from Lakeside Primary School. M: Good evening. Is anything wrong with Daniel? W: No. I’m calling about Daniel’s listening homework.  He does the other exercises carefully—he gets an A in writing — but he often skips the listen-and-write part. M: How come? W: He says it takes too long. He likes to look at the listening script first. If he does that, it’s only reading practice instead of listening practice. M: Oh, this is indeed a problem. W: Exactly. I don’t expect every word to be right. I just want him to try before checking the text. However, I don’t want him to feel forced. Would he accept a smaller task? M: Probably. Two sentences a day may work better than five. I’ll encourage him at home, but not push too hard. W: Great. Let’s try it for a week. Text 8 M: Hello, Elizabeth. How are you? You look a bit worried today. W: Well, there is something wrong actually. Last night when I returned from the theater, I found that I lost my wallet. M: Oh dear! What was in your wallet? W: Some money, of course, my visa, my identity card and some photos. M: Well, if I were you, I’d go to the police station straight away and report it. W: Yes. I’ve already done that, and they said they’d look for it. But we're leaving soon and I need my visa and identity card badly. M: I think you should put an advertisement in the local newspaper, saying when and where you lost your wallet. W: But that takes too long. M: Wait a minute! My uncle lives very close to the theater. I’ll telephone him and ask him to go there to inquire about it. You’d better have breakfast now and I’ll meet you later. W: Oh, thank you. I hope he finds it. Text 9 W: I’m a bit worried about my interview tomorrow. What if they ask me something I don’t know? M: If they do, just think of the best way to answer the question, and if you really don’t know, ask them to phrase the question in a different way. That’s what I did when I was interviewed for my accounting job. How many are going tomorrow? W: There are six other people there tomorrow. But they had two hundred applicants originally. After tomorrow, the company will invite the top two to a second interview next Wednesday. M: Well done for getting this far. There are so many people hoping to be playwriters these days. It’s really not an easy profession to get into. W: Yes. They have a good idea of my writing ability as I sent in examples of my work when I applied. I think tomorrow is about getting to know us and seeing if we’d fit into their production team. M: Good luck! I hope it goes well. Text 10 W: Good morning, everyone.

B Growing up in America as a child of first-generation Chinese immigrants, I was used to living in two worlds. But as I grew older, the Chinese side faded away. While I happily accepted the red envelopes during Lunar New Year and consumed mooncakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival, I didn’t feel connected to the culture. Before my children were born, I had already decided that I would teach them Mandarin (普通话). I felt that they ought to be able to speak the language of their heritage. Parenting books advised describing your actions while playing with your children, so I started digging out the long-buried words during every activity: “ball”, “eat”, “sleep”, “play”. However, as this exercise continued, the gaps in my Mandarin became more and more obvious. Luckily, the ready availability of Chinese language media — from books to television shows to music — made things much easier. As they grew older, I took them to the local library where the tale of the Monkey King and the legend of Chang’e immediately caught their imagination. When I see my son converse with his grandfather in Mandarin or when my daughter insists on fish for Lunar New Year, the time spent reading all those books closely feels well-spent. Last fall, my youngest son recited Li Bai’s “Quiet Night Thoughts” for the Moon Festival performance at his preschool. His voice rang out with confidence and his arms swept up to indicate the moon above. Joy and wonder lit up my father’s face as he listened to the familiar verses from the mouth of his grandson. Decades ago, my Chinese teacher explained to me how the moon connects all those who seek its light, no matter how far apart they are. So, too, does language. It influences culture and history, and connects future generations to past ones. 24. What do we know about the author as a child? A. She travelled between two countries when young. B. She was brought up in an all-English environment. C. She once lost her sense of belonging to Chinese culture. D. She was attracted to Chinese traditional festivals the most. 25. How did the author teach her children Mandarin? A. Talking about her daily routine. B. Sending them to a Chinese teacher. C. Buying them ancient Chinese storybooks. D. Taking advantage of Chinese language media. 26. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Ambitious. B. Devoted. C. Proud. D. Optimistic. 27. What lesson can be learnt from this article? A. All roads lead to Rome. B. Every cloud has a silver lining. C. Great minds think alike. D. Language bridges generations. C Experts are calling for a global effort to identify “positive tipping points” to accelerate the green transition and have devised a method to find them in a new academic paper. A tipping point is a threshold (临界点) where a small change can cause a significant, often irreversible (不可逆转的), transformation. Positive tipping points in human societies and economies can bring about rapid reductions in emissions and other environmental harm, even as climate breakdown becomes increasingly damaging and dangerous. Some positive tipping points are already happening — with solar power and electric vehicles rapidly replacing fossil-fuelled alternatives — but many more are needed to ensure a sustainable future. “The global economy is decarbonising (脱去……的碳) at least five times too slowly to meet the Paris Agreement target of limiting global warming to well below 2℃,” said Professor Tim Lenton, from the Global Systems Institute at the University of Exeter. “The challenge now is to identify potential positive tipping points, and the actions that can bring them forward — while avoiding wishful thinking about their existence, or oversimplification of their nature, drivers and impacts.” The paper sets out a method for identifying positive tipping points, assessing their proximity, identifying the factors that can influence them, and the actions that can lead to them. This includes looking for evidence that a system, or a similar system, has “tipped” in the past. Another factor is whether there is potential for “self-pushing uptake” of zero-or low-carbon behaviors. For example, as more people buy electric cars, the performance, price and infrastructure improve — making it easier for others to follow, and therefore accelerating the transition. “We know positive tipping can happen in sectors such as power and road transport,” said Dr Steve Smith, also from the Global Systems Institute at the University of Exeter. “In other sectors, there is little sign of approaching tipping points and in a few, such as nuclear power and concrete production, we should not expect there to be tipping points at all.” 28. How does the author present the topic in the first paragraph? A. By raising a question. B. By defining a key concept. C. By listing specific data. D. By telling a personal story. 29. What is the current situation of positive tipping points? A. They remain purely theoretical at present. B. They are too slow to affect global warming. C. They have occurred in some areas already. D. They are happening in all economic sectors. 30. What is Dr Steve’s attitude to the tipping points of nuclear power? A. Negative. B. Cautious. C. Optimistic. D. Indifferent. 31. Which can be the best title for the text? A. The Role of Electric Vehicles in Climate Action B. The Way to Decarbonise the Global Economy Rapidly C. Challenges of Reaching Environmental Tipping Points D. Identifying Positive Tipping Points for Green Transition D For decades, marine researchers have faced major obstacles in ocean conservation. Remote, dark coastal waters shelter rare marine species, largely inaccessible to human divers. Traditional cameras perform poorly in dim conditions, and costly human surveys cover less than 3 percent of global shallow marine areas yearly. To solve these problems, a modern AI bioacoustics (生物声学的) monitoring system has been developed to boost conservation efficiency. Jointly created by environmental tech teams and marine reserves, this innovative system adopts low-cost underwater microphones to record complex ocean soundscapes. Equipped with advanced machine learning technology, it is able to identify various marine species according to their unique acoustic (声音的) features automatically. Compared with traditional approaches, it reduces survey costs by 62 percent and expands detectable sea areas by over 18 times. Inspired by dolphins’ echolocation, its bionic algorithm (算法) can block interference from waves and ship engines, accurately recognizing faint and mixed underwater sounds. In a 12-month field study off Ghana’s western coast, Dr. Lena Marquez’s team placed 46 solar-powered hydrophones (水听器). The AI uncovered three locally extinct fish species, missed by human divers’ annual searches for five years. It also locates hidden seagrass and coral habitats overlooked by humans. Guided by its data, local fishermen adopted seasonal fishing bans, raising young fish populations by 41 percent in eight months. Nevertheless, the system has two noticeable limitations. It fails to identify silent marine creatures such as shellfish with no acoustic signals. Additionally, its high-precision analysis demands steady internet access and basic digital training, which many remote island regions lack. To overcome these obstacles, researchers are optimizing offline data processing systems and offering free professional training for coastal residents in relevant regions. This bionic AI technology marks a significant breakthrough in marine ecological protection. Rather than isolating technology from natural ecosystems, it learns and follows natural biological rules to repair damaged ocean habitats. As affordable hydrophones and open-source AI programs gain global popularity, local coastal communities are empowered to guard marine resources effectively, turning abstract ocean protection theories into practical daily action. 32. What is a key advantage of the new AI system? A. It functions well in dark environment. B. It can operate without any workers on site. C. It makes marine surveys much more efficient. D. It’s able to cover less than half sea area worldwide. 33. What can we learn about the field study in Ghana? A. It improved adult fish population quickly. B. It was influenced by local fishing activities. C. It relied on human divers’ repeated searches. D. It found some previously unseen local fish species. 34. What is one shortcoming of the bioacoustic system? A. It cannot work in bright seawater. B. It is unable to detect soundless sea life. C. It ignores human fishing activities. D. It needs no digital training for users. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. AI Technology Empowers Ocean Conservation B. New Rules for Global Ocean Fishing C. Hidden Marine Habitats Discovered by Divers D.

Many believe that children today are less resilient, less empathetic, and less mentally healthy than previous generations. Headlines frequently warn of a youth crisis, and many parents quietly worry about the future. 36 Studies suggest that young people today are, in many ways, doing better than those of previous generations. Their basic literacy (素养) and curiosity have improved. They are more empathetic, more open-minded and inclusive than those 50 years ago. 37 Konrath and her colleagues surveyed nearly 700 adolescents and found that 73% had volunteered or donated to charities. 38 Many factors are probably at play, but experts believe that changes in parenting and educational styles could be an important driver. One significant change in parenting is a greater focus on emotional literacy. “Over the past 15 years of clinical work, many young children have come in with a richer emotional vocabulary than those I saw earlier in my career,” says Tracy, a clinical psychologist. Meanwhile, more schools have introduced social and emotional learning programs that encourage empathy and self-control. What about the role of social media? It is often blamed for damaging young people. Even experts support banning smartphones in schools. 39 Some studies, however, find that technology may be helping kids connect with others, find support, and learn about world issues. “It can make them more thoughtful, conscious citizens,” Konrath says. So why does the negative view of young people remain so common? One reason is that our minds are built to notice threats. Our ancestors who noticed danger were more likely to survive, which may explain why negative information attracts more attention than positive news. Cognitive (认知的) biases also make people remember the past as better than it actually was. 40 Today’s young people are, on the whole, doing quite well. A. The big question is why. B. They are more willing to offer help, too. C. Yet the recent research tells a different story. D. There is no doubt that social media poses risks. E. Older generations were clearly happier and healthier. F. They fear their children may struggle to find decent jobs. G. Whatever the reason, the negative view rarely matches reality. 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。 I had always prided myself on my sharp tongue and witty retorts (反驳), so when I was selected to represent the school in the national debate competition, I was 41 confident. Little did I know this would be one of the most important lessons of my life. The run-up to the finals was a 42 for my team. We were all good speakers who had the benefit of an experienced teacher who trained us well. I was seen as the most outstanding speaker, my confidence 43 as the finals approached. 44 , I began to put on airs, mocking my teammates and 45 practices. On the finals day, I felt 46 about showcasing my skills, but the reality was different. My 47 from practices had created tension within the team, and our cooperation was poor, 48 even our supporters. My speech lacked coherence, and the judges’ 49 looks brought me close to tears, and I realized the stupidity of my arrogance (傲慢). Overwhelmed by the possibility of losing, never before had I felt so 50 . Then, a 51 hand touched mine — my teammate whom I had insulted. She 52 to me that it was okay, making me feel worse. My other teammates comforted me, despite my deserving punishment for 53 us the title. I kept apologizing, feeling worse as they 54 my irresponsibility.

The sound of clay hitting a wooden worktable fills the air as foreign visitors try crafting Terracotta Warrior sculptures 56 (use) ancient techniques. One such visitor is Yun Ye-chan, a 15-year-old South Korean student, who 57 (come) to Xi’an last month specifically to make a figurine. He hoped to see how the 2,000-year-old warriors were made after learning about them in books. Yun said that making figurines 58 hand was more rewarding than just visiting, as it helped him understand ancient wisdom and craftsmanship. Yun, visiting China for the first time, is among 59 growing number of foreign tourists heading for Emperor Qinshihuang’s Mausoleum Site Museum to create their own 60 (meaning) experiences and feel Qin Dynasty’s charm. This trend in recent years 61 (draw) numerous foreign visitors to nearby hands-on workshops. There visitors can make small Terracotta Warriors, 62 allows them to touch ancient history in person.

He had just finished trying out for Oakwood High School’s basketball team, and he knew making it to the team was a pretty sure thing. After all, he wasn’t just good — he was excellent. Basketball ran in the family — his older brother Reggie was now playing at a top college, and Mark was expected to follow in his brother’s footsteps. But Mark had a secret: his heart was in another sport. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Mark jumped on a bus heading home. Through the window, his eyes were drawn to the field where cheerleaders (啦啦队) danced effortlessly. He couldn’t look away. For months now, cheerleading had been on his mind. Reaching into his bookbag, he pulled out a poster: CHEERLEADER AUDITIONS (选拔). This was what he really wanted. Mark knew pursuing cheerleading wouldn’t just be a physical challenge. His family had poured so much hope into his basketball future. But he was tired of living in his brother’s shadow. He was ready to carve his own path. Six months ago, Mark once told his best friend Darren about his dream. “Cheerleading is girly,” Darren said. “You’re so good at basketball. Why throw that away?” Mark stood his ground. “This is where I want to put my strength,” he insisted. Over time, Darren began to understand and support him. Still, Mark kept his passion hidden from his family. Secretly, Mark trained with two cheerleaders. Cheerleading didn’t come naturally — every move demanded more than basketball ever had. But month by month, he improved. Maybe, just maybe, he stood a chance of making it to the cheerleading team. But right now, after his basketball tryout, he had to face his family. As soon as Mark arrived home, his parents were at the door. “So …?” his father asked. “The tryout? It went well.” Mark replied, staring at his feet. Everyone in the family was smiling … except Mark. 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。 Still, he knew what had to be done. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, it was time for the cheerleader audition. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页（共3页） 试卷第1页（共3页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 湖北省武汉中学2026-2027学年度高二上学期10月月考 英 语 命题人：高二备课组 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.

But as I grew older, the Chinese side faded away. While I happily accepted the red envelopes during Lunar New Year and consumed mooncakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival, I didn’t feel connected to the culture. Before my children were born, I had already decided that I would teach them Mandarin (普通话). I felt that they ought to be able to speak the language of their heritage. Parenting books advised describing your actions while playing with your children, so I started digging out the long-buried words during every activity: “ball”, “eat”, “sleep”, “play”. However, as this exercise continued, the gaps in my Mandarin became more and more obvious. Luckily, the ready availability of Chinese language media — from books to television shows to music — made things much easier. As they grew older, I took them to the local library where the tale of the Monkey King and the legend of Chang’e immediately caught their imagination. When I see my son converse with his grandfather in Mandarin or when my daughter insists on fish for Lunar New Year, the time spent reading all those books closely feels well-spent. Last fall, my youngest son recited Li Bai’s “Quiet Night Thoughts” for the Moon Festival performance at his preschool. His voice rang out with confidence and his arms swept up to indicate the moon above. Joy and wonder lit up my father’s face as he listened to the familiar verses from the mouth of his grandson. Decades ago, my Chinese teacher explained to me how the moon connects all those who seek its light, no matter how far apart they are. So, too, does language. It influences culture and history, and connects future generations to past ones. 24. What do we know about the author as a child? A. She travelled between two countries when young. B. She was brought up in an all-English environment. C. She once lost her sense of belonging to Chinese culture. D. She was attracted to Chinese traditional festivals the most. 25. How did the author teach her children Mandarin? A. Talking about her daily routine. B. Sending them to a Chinese teacher. C. Buying them ancient Chinese storybooks. D. Taking advantage of Chinese language media. 26. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Ambitious. B. Devoted. C. Proud. D. Optimistic. 27. What lesson can be learnt from this article? A. All roads lead to Rome. B. Every cloud has a silver lining. C. Great minds think alike. D. Language bridges generations. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. D 【导语】文章主要介绍了身为华裔二代移民的作者从小在美国长大，逐渐疏远中华文化，后来决心教自己的孩子学习普通话，借助日常言传、中文媒体与图书馆中文读物传承语言与文化，并从孩子能用中文交流、背诵古诗中感受到语言跨越时空、联结世代与文化的力量。 24. 细节理解题。根据文章第一段But as I grew older, the Chinese side faded away. While I happily accepted the red envelopes during Lunar New Year and consumed mooncakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival, I didn’t feel connected to the culture. (但随着年龄增长，中国元素逐渐淡出了我的生活。虽然我每逢春节都开心地收下红包，在中秋节时享用月饼，却不再感受到与这种文化的联系)可知，作者曾经失去了对中国文化的归属感。 25. 细节理解题。根据文章第三段Parenting books advised describing your actions while playing with your children, so I started digging out the long-buried words during every activity: “ball”, “eat”, “sleep”, “play”. However, as this exercise continued, the gaps in my Mandarin became more and more obvious. Luckily, the ready availability of Chinese language media-from books to television shows to music-made things much easier. As they grew older, I took them to the local library where the tale of the Monkey King and the legend of Chang’e immediately caught their imagination.(育儿书籍建议在和孩子玩耍时描述自己的动作，于是我开始在每次活动中重新翻出那些早已被遗忘的词语：“球”、“吃”、“睡”、“玩”。然而，随着练习的进行，我的汉语水平差距变得越来越明显。幸运的是，中文媒体易获取、随处可得——从书籍、电视剧到音乐——让学习变得容易多了。当他们渐渐长大后，我带他们去了当地图书馆，那里孙悟空和嫦娥传说立刻激发了他们的想象力)可知，作者利用中文媒体教孩子普通话。 26. 推理判断题。根据文章第二段Before my children were born, I had already decided that I would teach them Mandarin.(在我孩子出生之前，我就已经决定要教他们汉语了)及文章第三段描述作者如何利用中文媒体教孩子们普通话的经历可知，作者为了让孩子传承母语，主动重拾自己早已生疏的普通话，借助各类资源坚持教孩子中文，付出了大量时间精力，是非常用心投入的，devoted（投入的、尽心的）最符合对她的描述。 27. 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段Decades ago, my Chinese teacher explained to me how the moon connects all those who seek its light, no matter how far apart they are. So, too, does language. It influences culture and history, and connects future generations to past ones.(几十年前，我的中文老师向我解释过，月亮连接着所有追寻其光芒的人，无论他们相隔多远。语言也是如此，它影响着文化与历史，并将后代与过去联系在一起)可知，作者教自己的孩子学习普通话，从孩子能用中文交流、背诵古诗中感受到语言跨越时空、联结世代与文化的力量可知，文章主旨是语言与文化能够跨越时空、联结人们。 C Experts are calling for a global effort to identify “positive tipping points” to accelerate the green transition and have devised a method to find them in a new academic paper. A tipping point is a threshold (临界点) where a small change can cause a significant, often irreversible (不可逆转的), transformation. Positive tipping points in human societies and economies can bring about rapid reductions in emissions and other environmental harm, even as climate breakdown becomes increasingly damaging and dangerous. Some positive tipping points are already happening — with solar power and electric vehicles rapidly replacing fossil-fuelled alternatives — but many more are needed to ensure a sustainable future. “The global economy is decarbonising (脱去……的碳) at least five times too slowly to meet the Paris Agreement target of limiting global warming to well below 2℃,” said Professor Tim Lenton, from the Global Systems Institute at the University of Exeter. “The challenge now is to identify potential positive tipping points, and the actions that can bring them forward — while avoiding wishful thinking about their existence, or oversimplification of their nature, drivers and impacts.” The paper sets out a method for identifying positive tipping points, assessing their proximity, identifying the factors that can influence them, and the actions that can lead to them. This includes looking for evidence that a system, or a similar system, has “tipped” in the past. Another factor is whether there is potential for “self-pushing uptake” of zero-or low-carbon behaviors. For example, as more people buy electric cars, the performance, price and infrastructure improve — making it easier for others to follow, and therefore accelerating the transition. “We know positive tipping can happen in sectors such as power and road transport,” said Dr Steve Smith, also from the Global Systems Institute at the University of Exeter. “In other sectors, there is little sign of approaching tipping points and in a few, such as nuclear power and concrete production, we should not expect there to be tipping points at all.” 28. How does the author present the topic in the first paragraph? A. By raising a question. B. By defining a key concept. C. By listing specific data. D. By telling a personal story. 29. What is the current situation of positive tipping points? A. They remain purely theoretical at present. B. They are too slow to affect global warming. C. They have occurred in some areas already. D. They are happening in all economic sectors. 30. What is Dr Steve’s attitude to the tipping points of nuclear power? A. Negative. B. Cautious. C. Optimistic. D. Indifferent. 31. Which can be the best title for the text? A. The Role of Electric Vehicles in Climate Action B. The Way to Decarbonise the Global Economy Rapidly C. Challenges of Reaching Environmental Tipping Points D. Identifying Positive Tipping Points for Green Transition 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. D 【导语】文章主要介绍专家提出要寻找“正向临界点”助力绿色转型，阐释其概念、识别方法以及不同领域的现实情况。 28. 推理判断题。根据第一段中的A tipping point is a threshold (临界点) where a small change can cause a significant, often irreversible (不可逆转的), transformation. (临界点是一个阈值，微小变化可引发重大且往往不可逆转的转变。)可知，作者通过对核心概念下定义的方式引出文章话题。 29. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的Some positive tipping points are already happening — with solar power and electric vehicles rapidly replacing fossil‑fuelled alternatives — but many more are needed to ensure a sustainable future. (一些积极的临界点正在发生 —— 太阳能与电动汽车正在迅速取代化石燃料驱动的同类产品 —— 但还需要更多此类临界点，才能保障一个可持续的未来。)可知，正向临界点已经在部分领域发生。 30. 推理判断题。根据第六段中的In other sectors, there is little sign of approaching tipping points and in a few, such as nuclear power and concrete production, we should not expect there to be tipping points at all.(在其他行业，几乎没有接近临界点的迹象，而在少数领域，例如核能和混凝土生产，我们压根不应该指望会存在临界点。)可知，史蒂夫博士认为核能领域不会出现临界点，对此持否定态度。 31. 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的Experts are calling for a global effort to identify “positive tipping points” to accelerate the green transition and have devised a method to find them in a new academic paper. (专家呼吁全球共同努力识别“正向临界点”以加速绿色转型，并在一篇新学术论文中设计出识别该临界点的方法。)可知，文章围绕识别绿色转型的正向临界点展开，介绍正向临界点的含义、现实案例、识别方式和各行业的不同现状，因此“Identifying Positive Tipping Points for Green Transition(识别绿色转型的积极临界点)最能概括全文核心，适合作为最佳标题。 D For decades, marine researchers have faced major obstacles in ocean conservation. Remote, dark coastal waters shelter rare marine species, largely inaccessible to human divers. Traditional cameras perform poorly in dim conditions, and costly human surveys cover less than 3 percent of global shallow marine areas yearly. To solve these problems, a modern AI bioacoustics (生物声学的) monitoring system has been developed to boost conservation efficiency. Jointly created by environmental tech teams and marine reserves, this innovative system adopts low-cost underwater microphones to record complex ocean soundscapes. Equipped with advanced machine learning technology, it is able to identify various marine species according to their unique acoustic (声音的) features automatically. Compared with traditional approaches, it reduces survey costs by 62 percent and expands detectable sea areas by over 18 times. Inspired by dolphins’ echolocation, its bionic algorithm (算法) can block interference from waves and ship engines, accurately recognizing faint and mixed underwater sounds. In a 12-month field study off Ghana’s western coast, Dr. Lena Marquez’s team placed 46 solar-powered hydrophones (水听器). The AI uncovered three locally extinct fish species, missed by human divers’ annual searches for five years. It also locates hidden seagrass and coral habitats overlooked by humans. Guided by its data, local fishermen adopted seasonal fishing bans, raising young fish populations by 41 percent in eight months. Nevertheless, the system has two noticeable limitations. It fails to identify silent marine creatures such as shellfish with no acoustic signals. Additionally, its high-precision analysis demands steady internet access and basic digital training, which many remote island regions lack. To overcome these obstacles, researchers are optimizing offline data processing systems and offering free professional training for coastal residents in relevant regions. This bionic AI technology marks a significant breakthrough in marine ecological protection. Rather than isolating technology from natural ecosystems, it learns and follows natural biological rules to repair damaged ocean habitats. As affordable hydrophones and open-source AI programs gain global popularity, local coastal communities are empowered to guard marine resources effectively, turning abstract ocean protection theories into practical daily action. 32. What is a key advantage of the new AI system? A. It functions well in dark environment. B. It can operate without any workers on site. C. It makes marine surveys much more efficient. D. It’s able to cover less than half sea area worldwide. 33. What can we learn about the field study in Ghana? A. It improved adult fish population quickly. B. It was influenced by local fishing activities. C. It relied on human divers’ repeated searches. D. It found some previously unseen local fish species. 34. What is one shortcoming of the bioacoustic system? A. It cannot work in bright seawater. B. It is unable to detect soundless sea life. C. It ignores human fishing activities. D. It needs no digital training for users. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. AI Technology Empowers Ocean Conservation B. New Rules for Global Ocean Fishing C. Hidden Marine Habitats Discovered by Divers D. Advanced Ways to Improve Internet Service 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. A 【导语】本文主要介绍了一种仿生AI生物声学监测系统，借助水下麦克风与机器学习自动识别海洋物种、大幅降本增效并扩大探测范围，虽有无声生物难识别等局限，仍持续优化以赋能全球海洋生态保护。 32. 细节理解题。根据第一段To solve these problems, a modern AI bioacoustics (生物声学的) monitoring system has been developed to boost conservation efficiency. (为了解决这些问题，一种现代AI生物声学监测系统被研发出来以提升保护效率)以及第二段Compared with traditional approaches, it reduces survey costs by 62 percent and expands detectable sea areas by over 18 times. (与传统方法相比，它将调查成本降低62%，并将可探测海域扩大超过18倍)可知，该系统的一个关键优势是使海洋调查变得更加高效。 33. 细节理解题。根据第三段The AI uncovered three locally extinct fish species, missed by human divers’ annual searches for five years. (人工智能发现了三种当地被认为灭绝的鱼类，这些鱼类在人类潜水员五年的年度搜索中被遗漏)可知，这次实地研究发现了一些此前人类未曾见到的(被认为已灭绝的)当地鱼类物种。 34. 细节理解题。根据第四段Nevertheless, the system has two noticeable limitations. It fails to identify silent marine creatures such as shellfish with no acoustic signals. (然而，该系统有两个明显的局限性。它无法识别没有声音信号的无声海洋生物，如贝类)可知，其短板是无法探测到无声的海洋生物。 35. 主旨大意题。文章第一段引出AI生物声学监测系统在海洋保护中的应用，第二、三段介绍了其工作原理、优势和在加纳的成功实践，第四段指出其局限性及解决办法，最后一段总结该AI技术是海洋生态保护的重大突破。全文核心围绕“AI技术如何助力海洋保护”展开，因此“AI技术赋能海洋保护”最适合作为本文标题。 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。 If you ask people how today’s children are doing, you will likely get an earful of complaints and concerns. Many believe that children today are less resilient, less empathetic, and less mentally healthy than previous generations. Headlines frequently warn of a youth crisis, and many parents quietly worry about the future. 36 Studies suggest that young people today are, in many ways, doing better than those of previous generations. Their basic literacy (素养) and curiosity have improved. They are more empathetic, more open-minded and inclusive than those 50 years ago. 37 Konrath and her colleagues surveyed nearly 700 adolescents and found that 73% had volunteered or donated to charities. 38 Many factors are probably at play, but experts believe that changes in parenting and educational styles could be an important driver. One significant change in parenting is a greater focus on emotional literacy. “Over the past 15 years of clinical work, many young children have come in with a richer emotional vocabulary than those I saw earlier in my career,” says Tracy, a clinical psychologist. Meanwhile, more schools have introduced social and emotional learning programs that encourage empathy and self-control. What about the role of social media? It is often blamed for damaging young people. Even experts support banning smartphones in schools. 39 Some studies, however, find that technology may be helping kids connect with others, find support, and learn about world issues. “It can make them more thoughtful, conscious citizens,” Konrath says. So why does the negative view of young people remain so common? One reason is that our minds are built to notice threats. Our ancestors who noticed danger were more likely to survive, which may explain why negative information attracts more attention than positive news. Cognitive (认知的) biases also make people remember the past as better than it actually was. 40 Today’s young people are, on the whole, doing quite well. A. The big question is why. B. They are more willing to offer help, too. C. Yet the recent research tells a different story. D. There is no doubt that social media poses risks. E. Older generations were clearly happier and healthier. F. They fear their children may struggle to find decent jobs. G. Whatever the reason, the negative view rarely matches reality. 【答案】36. C 37.

One significant change in parenting is a greater focus on emotional literacy. (多种因素可能共同起作用，但专家认为育儿方式和教育模式的改变或许是重要原因。育儿方面一个显著变化是更加重视情绪素养。)可知，本段整段用来解释“当代青少年共情等能力更强”的原因。A项“关键问题是原因是什么。”作为本段主题句，开启下文原因分析。 39. 根据上文What about the role of social media? It is often blamed for damaging young people. Even experts support banning smartphones in schools. (社交媒体带来了什么影响？它常被指责对青少年造成伤害。甚至专家也支持在校内禁用智能手机。)和下文Some studies, however, find that technology may be helping kids connect with others, find support, and learn about world issues. (不过，一些研究发现科技或许能帮助孩子与人建立联系、获得支持，并了解世界大事。)可知，上文承认社交媒体的弊端，下文再用however转折引出它的积极作用，形成“先抑后扬”的逻辑。D选项“毫无疑问社交媒体确实存在风险。”‌符合语境。 40. 根据上文One reason is that our minds are built to notice threats.…Cognitive (认知的) biases also make people remember the past as better than it actually was. (其中一个原因是，人类大脑天生就会留意危险信号。……认知偏见也会让人们美化记忆中的过去，认为往昔比实际情况更好。)和下文Today’s young people are, on the whole, doing quite well. (总体来看，当代年轻人的状态相当不错。)可知，上文分析了人们对年轻人保留负面印象的两大认知层面原因，下文总结当代年轻人整体表现很不错，‌G选项“无论原因是什么，这种负面看法几乎都与现实不符。”‌收束前文的原因分析，呼应全文核心观点。 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。 I had always prided myself on my sharp tongue and witty retorts (反驳), so when I was selected to represent the school in the national debate competition, I was 41 confident.

From my perspective, peer learning works better for most students. With classmates working together, we can share different ideas, solving problems more efficiently. Not only does it deepen our understanding, but it also builds communication skills. If time permits, group discussions often spark creative solutions that we might never discover alone. That said, independent learning still matters. What we should do is combine both approaches, using peer learning to exchange ideas while developing self-study habits. Only in this way can we achieve real academic growth. 【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生就“同伴一起学习”与“自主学习”哪一种学习效果更好发表看法，阐述理由，向校英文报“Opinion”栏目投稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 理解：understanding→comprehension 激发：spark→trigger/stimulate 培养：develop→cultivate/foster 实现：achieve→accomplish/attain 2.句式拓展：同义句转换 原句：If time permits, group discussions often spark creative solutions that we might never discover alone. 拓展句：Time permitting, group discussions often spark creative solutions that we might never discover alone. 【点睛】 【高分句型1】With classmates working together, we can share different ideas, solving problems more efficiently.

He had just finished trying out for Oakwood High School’s basketball team, and he knew making it to the team was a pretty sure thing. After all, he wasn’t just good — he was excellent. Basketball ran in the family — his older brother Reggie was now playing at a top college, and Mark was expected to follow in his brother’s footsteps. But Mark had a secret: his heart was in another sport. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Mark jumped on a bus heading home. Through the window, his eyes were drawn to the field where cheerleaders (啦啦队) danced effortlessly. He couldn’t look away. For months now, cheerleading had been on his mind. Reaching into his bookbag, he pulled out a poster: CHEERLEADER AUDITIONS (选拔). This was what he really wanted. Mark knew pursuing cheerleading wouldn’t just be a physical challenge. His family had poured so much hope into his basketball future. But he was tired of living in his brother’s shadow. He was ready to carve his own path. Six months ago, Mark once told his best friend Darren about his dream. “Cheerleading is girly,” Darren said. “You’re so good at basketball. Why throw that away?” Mark stood his ground. “This is where I want to put my strength,” he insisted. Over time, Darren began to understand and support him. Still, Mark kept his passion hidden from his family. Secretly, Mark trained with two cheerleaders. Cheerleading didn’t come naturally — every move demanded more than basketball ever had. But month by month, he improved. Maybe, just maybe, he stood a chance of making it to the cheerleading team. But right now, after his basketball tryout, he had to face his family. As soon as Mark arrived home, his parents were at the door. “So …?” his father asked. “The tryout? It went well.” Mark replied, staring at his feet.

Gathering courage, Mark announced, “I don’t want to play basketball anymore.” The smiles on his parents’ faces froze instantly. “What do you mean?” his father asked in surprise. Taking a deep breath, Mark explained that his true passion was cheerleading although he was good at basketball. The room fell silent. His parents exchanged confused looks, struggling to understand. Mark felt his heart pounding but continued, saying he had been training for months. Just when the tension seemed unbearable, his mother finally spoke gently, “If this is what you really love, you deserve a chance — and we’ll always stand by you.” His father hesitated, then nodded slowly. A week later, it was time for the cheerleader audition. Standing on the field, Mark felt a mix of nervousness and excitement. Remembering the countless hours of practice, he pushed aside his doubts and focused on every move. When the music started, he jumped, turned and lifted with confidence. His strength and determination impressed the judges and the crowd. When the results were announced, Mark heard his name among those selected. At that moment, he spotted his parents in the stands, clapping proudly. He realized that by following his heart, he had finally stepped out of his brother’s shadow and started his own journey. Version 2: Still, he knew what had to be done. Taking a deep breath, he gathered the courage to speak. His parents’ eager faces filled him with guilt, but he could no longer hide the truth. With a steady voice, he told them that basketball was never his dream. Instead, his heart belonged to cheerleading. The room fell into a heavy silence. His father’s proud expression crumbled into disbelief, while his mother stared at him as if seeing a stranger. Mark felt the weight of their unspoken disappointment pressing down on him. Just then, Reggie stepped forward. Without a word, he placed a firm hand on Mark’s shoulder and nodded — a small gesture that spoke volumes. Tears welled in Mark’s eyes. His family didn’t fully understand yet, but at least they were willing to listen. A week later, it was time for the cheerleader audition. Mark’s heart hammered against his ribs as he walked onto the gym floor. Around him, dozens of talented athletes moved with grace and power. When his name was called, he stepped onto the mat, shut out the noise, and let his body take over. Every jump, every spin, every tumbling pass was a testament to months of secret sweat and sacrifice. The moves that once felt clumsy now flowed like music. As he struck his final pose, the room erupted in applause. Through the crowd, he spotted his family — his mother wiping tears, his father clapping with genuine pride, and Reggie cheering louder than anyone. Days later, when the team list was posted, Mark’s name was there. He was no longer chasing someone else’s glory. He had found his own. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了擅长篮球、背负家人期待的马克，内心真正热爱啦啦操，他瞒着家人私下刻苦训练，摆脱哥哥的光环、想要走出属于自己的道路，在篮球试训顺利结束后，决心向家人坦白真实梦想的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写（参考Version 1） ① 由第一段首句可知，接下来可描写马克鼓足勇气向父母坦白自己放弃篮球、热爱啦啦操的真实想法，讲述自己长期私下训练的经历，以及父母从错愕、不解到最终理解、支持他的态度转变过程。 ② 由第二段首句可知，接下来可描写马克参加啦啦操选拔时的状态、精彩的赛场表现，凭借扎实的训练成果成功入选，看到父母为自己骄傲喝彩，最终实现自我、走出哥哥光环的圆满结局。 2. 续写线索 鼓足勇气坦白真实梦想——父母错愕沉默、面露疑惑——马克坚定诉说训练经历与初心——父母释怀选择支持——马克自信参加啦啦操选拔——凭借实力成功入选——收获家人认可、活出自我 3.词汇积累 行为类： ①宣布：announce/declare ②询问：ask/inquire 情绪类： ①兴奋：excitement/thrill ②紧张，不安：nervousness/unease 【点睛】 【高分句型1】Taking a deep breath, Mark explained that his true passion was cheerleading although he was good at basketball.（运用了现在分词作状语以及that引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】When the results were announced, Mark heard his name among those selected.（运用了when引导时间状语从句以及过去分词作后置定语） 试卷第1页（共3页） 试卷第1页（共3页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
