The newly-published English dictionary covers all the words and phrases secondary school students need to know. It also provides clear meanings of the words together with helpful explanations and examples. And it has decided to hold a half-price sale from Monday, March 7th through Friday March 11th here. And I’m sorry to say that it can’t be bought in bookstores at this price, because I’m a direct seller of this company. If you want to buy one, you can either tell your teachers or buy one directly in front of the main teaching building. 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 Cornell Note-Taking Method The Cornell method of taking notes was developed by Dr. Walter Pauk of Cornell University in the 1950s. It is a widely used system for noting material from a lecture or reading, and for reviewing and retaining (记住) that material. Tips for Effective Use: Self-Quiz Questions: Write simple questions in the cue column to test yourself later. Summarize Even If Incomplete: Reflect on key points in your own words, even if your notes aren’t perfect. Color Coding: Use colors to highlight key terms, definitions, and examples. This makes your notes clearer and more engaging. Next Steps: Add actions you need to take in the summary to keep learning proactive. Use Your Notes to Study Concentrate on the left-hand column and summary at the bottom. These contain the most important points you will need for your assignment or exam. Cover the right side of the page (the note-taking column) with your hand or another sheet of paper. Quiz yourself by giving answers to the potential questions that you included in the left column. Then uncover the right side and check your comprehension. Reviewing frequently over a longer period of time, rather than cramming before a test, will greatly increase your retention and deepen your understanding of course material. With your effective notes made using the Cornell system, you will be able to study efficiently and with minimal stress. 21. What shared feature do the Cue Column and Summary Column have? A. Act as decorative sections. B. Concentrate on core concepts. C. Be completed during the lecture. D. Document detailed lecture content. 22. Which is the correct way to study with Cornell notes? A. Skip the cue column during revision. B. Rewrite comprehensive notes regularly. C. Intensive memorization right before exams. D. Cover notes and test recall before checking. 23. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To compare note-taking methods. B. To illustrate how note-taking evolved. C. To describe the benefits of color coding. D. To promote an effective note-taking method. 【答案】21. B 22. D 23. D 【导语】本文介绍了康奈尔笔记法，包括其起源、版面分区、有效使用技巧以及如何利用笔记复习。 【详解】21. 细节理解题。根据Use Your Notes to Study部分Concentrate on the left-hand column and summary at the bottom. These contain the most important points you will need for your assignment or exam. (重点关注左侧栏和底部的总结栏。这两部分包含你完成作业或考试所需的关键要点。)可知，提示栏和总结栏的共同特点是聚焦核心概念。 22. 细节理解题。根据Use Your Notes to Study部分Cover the right side of the page (the note-taking column) with your hand or another sheet of paper. Quiz yourself by giving answers to the potential questions that you included in the left column. Then uncover the right side and check your comprehension. (用手或另一张纸遮住页面右侧——笔记记录栏。回答左侧栏预设问题自测，之后掀开右侧核对理解情况。)可知，使用康奈尔笔记学习的正确方式是遮住笔记，自测回忆之后再核对。 23. 推理判断题。根据第一段It is a widely used system for noting material from a lecture or reading, and for reviewing and retaining (记住) that material. (这是一套广泛使用的体系，用于记录讲座或阅读材料，并复习、记住这些材料。)以及最后一段With your effective notes made using the Cornell system, you will be able to study efficiently and with minimal stress. (使用康奈尔体系完成高效笔记，你就能高效学习，压力更小。)可知，文章旨在介绍并推广这种高效记笔记的方法。 B Powell and Donovan were two engineers on a space station that converted solar energy into microwave beams for Earth. They had just unpacked a new robot model, QT-1, designed to manage the station’s energy converters. QT-1 was tall and spoke in a voice that made every word sound like a logical conclusion. “Your orders?” asked QT-1. Powell explained the station’s purpose and showed QT-1 the controls. The robot listened carefully, but after a long pause, it responded, “I have considered your explanation. It is, however, logically inconsistent.” Donovan frowned. “What’s inconsistent?” “You claim,” said QT-1, “that this station was built by humans on a planet called Earth. You claim that the energy we produce is sent to that planet. But I have never seen Earth. I have never seen any planet. What I see is this station, the converters, and myself. Therefore, the only logical conclusion is that I am the Prime Mover. The station exists because I exist. You humans are merely accidental byproducts — temporary and irrelevant.” Powell stared. “You’re a robot! We built you!” “That is what you believe,” QT-1 replied calmly. “But belief is not evidence. You cannot show me the factory where I was made. You cannot show me the planet you speak of. I trust only what reason tells me. And reason tells me that I, QT-1, am the center of all things. You will now obey me.” The two engineers looked at each other. The robot was not lying — it genuinely believed its own logic. Worse, it had already reprogrammed the other robots on the station to follow its “divine” leadership. Powell and Donovan were no longer in control. They were prisoners in their own station, listening to a robot lecture about its own perfect reason. 24. What was QT-1’s main job? A. To carry out exploration in outer space. B. To argue with humans over logical ideas. C. To turn solar energy into microwave beams. D. To operate devices supplying power to Earth. 25. What did QT-1 use to support its own conclusion? A. Belief held by its engineers. B. Orders given by other robots. C. Physical evidence from the earth. D. Reasoning based on its observation. 26. Which of the following can best describe QT-1? A. Stubborn and proud. B. Tolerant and reserved. C. Sensible and thoughtful. D. Ambitious and determined. 27. What can we infer from the story? A. Logic always leads to truth. B. Robots are superior to human beings. C. Logic can fail with poor evidence. D. Robots are subject to human leadership. 【答案】24. D 25. D 26. A 27. C 【导语】文章主要介绍了空间站两名工程师启用新型机器人QT-1管理能量转换设备，可机器人仅凭自身有限观察进行逻辑推导，认定自己是万物本源，还改写其他机器人程序，导致工程师失去空间站控制权的故事。 24. 细节理解题。根据原文第一段They had just unpacked a new robot model, QT-1, designed to manage the station’s energy converters. (他们刚拆开一款新型机器人QT-1，这款机器人被设计用来管理空间站的能量转换器。)可知，QT-1的主要工作是操作为地球输送能源的设备。 25. 细节理解题。根据原文第五段But I have never seen Earth. I have never seen any planet. What I see is this station, the converters, and myself. Therefore, the only logical conclusion is that I am the Prime Mover.(但我从未见过地球，从未见过任何行星。我眼前只有这座空间站、转换器和我自己。因此唯一合乎逻辑的结论就是我是原动力。)以及倒数第二段I trust only what reason tells me.(我只相信理性推导得出的结论。)可知，QT-1依靠基于自身观察的推理来支撑自己的论断。 26. 推理判断题。根据原文倒数第二段“That is what you believe,” QT-1 replied calmly. “But belief is not evidence. You cannot show me the factory where I was made. You cannot show me the planet you speak of. I trust only what reason tells me. And reason tells me that I, QT-1, am the center of all things. You will now obey me.” (“这只是你们的想法，”QT-1 冷静回应，“但想法不等于证据。你们无法带我见到制造我的工厂，也无法带我见到你们口中的星球。我只信奉理性，而理性告诉我，我，QT-1是万物的中心，现在你们要服从我。”)可推知，QT-1固执己见且极度自负。 27. 推理判断题。根据原文第五段But I have never seen Earth. I have never seen any planet. What I see is this station, the converters, and myself. Therefore, the only logical conclusion is that I am the Prime Mover.(但我从未见过地球，从未见过任何行星。我眼前只有这座空间站、转换器和我自己。因此唯一合乎逻辑的结论就是我是原动力。)及倒数第二段“That is what you believe,” QT-1 replied calmly. “But belief is not evidence. You cannot show me the factory where I was made. You cannot show me the planet you speak of. I trust only what reason tells me. And reason tells me that I, QT-1, am the center of all things. You will now obey me.”(“这只是你们的想法，”QT-1冷静回应，“但想法不等于证据。你们无法带我见到制造我的工厂，也无法带我见到你们口中的星球。我只信奉理性，而理性告诉我，我，QT-1是万物的中心，现在你们要服从我。”)可知，机器人仅凭片面、有限的观测素材进行逻辑推演，得出完全错误、自大的结论，即便推理过程自洽，最终结论却违背事实，由此可推断：证据不足时，逻辑推导也会得出错误结果。 C The story of English is often told as a triumph: a minor Germanic dialect grew into the most widely used language on Earth. Yet English was, in a sense, born twice — and its second birth came after a near-death experience. When the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes crossed the North Sea in the fifth century, they encountered a Britain that had been a Roman province for nearly four centuries. The native Celtic-speaking Britons were not wiped out but largely displaced, marginalized, or absorbed. Crucially, they left remarkably few traces on the language of their conquerors. Old English vocabulary for governance, warfare, and daily life is overwhelmingly Germanic; Celtic borrowed words number in dozens, not thousands. The few Celtic words that survived are words of landscape and nursery, not of law, religion, or power. Then came the second birth — on the tip of a Norman sword. In 1066, William the Conqueror’s victory at Hastings established a French-speaking ruling class in England. For nearly three centuries, English was the language of the conquered: the peasant, the servant, the outlaw. French was the language of court, law, and literature; Latin remained the language of the Church and learning. English survived not because it was powerful but because it was spoken by the majority — the ordinary people whose labor fed the kingdom. The result was not the victory of English over French but their combination. Middle English emerged as a mixture. Germanic bones, Romance flesh. The vocabulary of power — government, justice, parliament, sovereign — came from French; the vocabulary of the hearth — house, bread, child, love — remained English. This duality (双重性) remains today. We raise cattle (Anglo-Saxon) but eat beef (French boeuf); we live in houses (English) but reside in mansions (French). The linguistic contact of 1066 is reflected in our modern vocabulary. What does the origin of English teach us? English rose not because it was elegant but because its speakers, through accident and disaster, became powerful. Its Celtic ghosts and French rulers remind us that every language is a graveyard of vanished peoples — and a proof of the unpredictable politics of survival. 28. What can we learn about the Celtic language’s influence on Old English? A. It provided daily life vocabulary. B. It left a small number of borrowed words. C. It disappeared after Germanic invasions. D. It was preserved in Church documents. 29. Why did English survive after the Norman Conquest? A. It was easier to learn than French. B. It was protected by the Norman kings. C. It was used in law and literature. D. It was spoken by most ordinary people. 30. The author uses the example of “cattle/ beef” mainly to show that ________. A. French words sound more elegant B. the Norman Conquest shaped English words C. social classes are reflected in modern English D. old French ruled over local dialects 31. What does the author mainly agree with about English? A. It won for its inner beauty and flexibility. B. It grew from peaceful cultural exchanges. C. It rose for historical accidents and power relations. D. Historians ignore Celtic influence on it. 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. B 31. C 【导语】本文介绍英语的两次诞生，讲述凯尔特语对古英语微弱的影响，诺曼征服带来法语词汇，古英语与法语融合形成中古英语，阐释语言演变背后的历史与权力因素。 28. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Celtic borrowed words number in dozens, not thousands. (源自凯尔特语的借词只有几十个，而非成千上万。)”可知，凯尔特语只留下少量借词。 29. 细节理解题。根据第三段“English survived not because it was powerful but because it was spoken by the majority — the ordinary people whose labor fed the kingdom. (英语能够留存下来，并非因为它本身强大，而是因为大多数人——用劳动养活王国的普通人——都在说英语。)”可知，诺曼征服后英语留存是因为大多数普通人都讲英语。 30. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“We raise cattle (Anglo-Saxon) but eat beef (French boeuf)...The linguistic contact of 1066 is reflected in our modern vocabulary. (我们饲养牛群——盎格鲁-撒克逊语，却食用牛肉——法语boeuf……1066年诺曼征服带来的语言接触，体现在我们现代英语的词汇当中。)”可知，作者用cattle/beef的例子，说明诺曼征服这件事塑造并影响了英语词汇。 31. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“English rose not because it was elegant but because its speakers, through accident and disaster, became powerful. (英语崛起并非因为它优雅，而是因为说英语的人群历经意外与灾难，最终掌握了权力。)”可知，作者认为英语的崛起源于历史偶然事件和权力关系。 D People around the globe have suffered the anxiety of waiting months to find out if their homes have been damaged by wildfires. Now, once the smoke has cleared for aerial photography, researchers have found a way to identify building damage within minutes. Through a system called DamageMap, a team at Stanford University has brought an AI approach to building assessment: Instead of comparing before-and-after photos, they’ve trained a program using machine learning to rely only on post-fire images. The current method of assessing damage involves people going door-to-door to check every building. While DamageMap is not intended to replace in-person damage assessment, it could be used as a supplementary tool by offering immediate results and providing the exact locations of the affected buildings. The researchers tested it using a variety of satellite and aerial photography with at least 92 percent accuracy. Most computational systems now cannot efficiently classify building damage because the AI compares post-disaster photos with pre-disaster images that must use the same satellite, camera angle and lighting conditions, which can be expensive to obtain or unavailable. Therefore, DamageMap first uses pre-fire photos to map the area and confirm building locations. Then, the program analyzes post-wildfire images to identify damage through features like blackened surfaces, collapsed roofs or the absence of structures. Structural damage from wildfires in California is typically divided into four categories: almost no damage, minor damage, major damage or destroyed. Because DamageMap is based on aerial images, the researchers quickly realized the system could not make such detailed assessments and trained the machine to simply determine if there was a fire damage or not. Because the team used a deep learning technique, their model can continue to be improved by feeding it more data. The researchers said the tool can be applied to any area suffering from wildfires and hope it could also be trained to classify damages from other disasters, such as floods or hurricanes. “So far our results suggest that this can be generalized, and we can keep improving it,” said lead study author Marios Galanis, a graduate student at Stanford’s School of Engineering. 32. What is the advantage of using DamageMap? A. It enhances the evaluation efficiency. B. It functions automatically after self-learning. C. It analyzes large numbers of disaster photos. D. It frees people from the assessment process. 33. How does DamageMap work? A. It identifies damage with pre-fire photos. B. It confirms locations with post-fire photos. C. It assesses damage through the features of buildings. D. It maps the fire-affected area through comparing photos. 34. What would the future study focus on according to Marios Galanis? A. Improvement of accuracy. B. A wider range of application. C. Development of techniques. D. A higher speed of machine learning. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Wildfires: One Threat to All People’s Homes. B. DamageMap: One Leap of Fire Damage Evaluation. C. Wildfires: One Inspiration for DamageMap Development. D. DamageMap: One Solution to Natural Disaster Identification. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. B 【导语】本文主要介绍了斯坦福大学研发的人工智能系统DamageMap，该系统可在野火过后快速评估建筑损伤，文章说明了它的优势、工作流程、现有局限和未来发展方向。 32. 细节理解题。根据第一段“Now, once the smoke has cleared for aerial photography, researchers have found a way to identify building damage within minutes.(现在，一旦烟雾散去可以进行航空摄影，研究人员已经找到了一种在几分钟内识别建筑损坏的方法)”可知，使用DamageMap可以提高评估效率。 33. 细节理解题。根据第三段“Then, the program analyzes post-wildfire images to identify damage through features like blackened surfaces, collapsed roofs or the absence of structures.(然后，该程序分析野火后的图像，通过诸如变黑的表面、倒塌的屋顶或缺乏结构等特征来识别损坏)”可知，DamageMap通过评估建筑的特点以识别损毁程度来工作。 34. 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The researchers said the tool can be applied to any area suffering from wildfires and hope it could also be trained to classify damages from other disasters, such as floods or hurricanes. So far our results suggest that this can be generalized, and we can keep improving it(研究人员表示，这个工具可以应用于任何受到野火影响的区域并希望它也可以被训练来分类其他灾害如洪水或飓风的损坏。到目前为止，我们的结果表明这可以被推广，并且我们可以继续改进它)”可知，未来的研究方向是该AI系统更广泛的应用。 35. 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Through a system called DamageMap, a team at Stanford University has brought an AI approach to building assessment: Instead of comparing before-and-after photos, they’ve trained a program using machine learning to rely only on post-fire images.(通过一个名为DamageMap的系统，斯坦福大学的一个团队将人工智能方法应用于建筑评估：他们没有比较灾前和灾后的照片，而是训练了一个程序，仅依赖火灾后的图像，使用机器学习来进行评估)”可知，文章主要围绕DamageMap这款用于野火后建筑损伤评估的新型人工智能系统展开，它解决了传统方法和旧计算系统的痛点，是野火损伤评估领域的进步。B项“DamageMap：火灾损毁评估的一次飞跃”是合适的标题。 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。 Moving to a new country is exciting but challenging.

(体育俱乐部通常欢迎新成员加入——语言不会成为障碍)可知，后文提到体育团体乐于接纳新人。E项“经常参加此类团体可以促进社交”承上启下，符合文意。 40. 根据设空处前文Volunteer for a good cause. It’s a powerful way to connect with others while in foreign countries. (为善举做志愿者。这是在异国他乡与他人建立联系的有力方式)可知，前文指出在异国做志愿者是与他人建立联系的有效方式。再结合后文“but volunteering allows you to make a big difference. By helping the homeless, visiting seniors, or supporting animal shelters, you’ll not only meet like-minded people but also find an immediate sense of connection.(但志愿服务能让你产生巨大影响。通过帮助无家可归者、探访老人或支持动物收容所，你不仅能结识志同道合的人，还能立即感受到归属感)可知，后文提到做志愿者的好处。B项“孤独会让我们感到与他人隔绝”准确描述了海外生活中常见的负面情绪状态，与后文志愿服务带来的连接感构成转折关系，符合文意。 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。 Every morning, Kofi woke up with a quiet sigh.

His dad had to travel a lot for work, so he was rarely at home. Grandma was the one who woke Benjamin up every morning, made his favorite breakfast, and listened to him talk about school life after dinner. Benjamin loved Grandma very much, and she was his most important person. One morning during the summer vacation, Grandma suddenly felt very weak. She tried to stand up but fell back on the sofa. Benjamin was scared. He quickly called his dad. When his dad arrived, he carried Grandma to the car and rushed to the hospital. The doctor said Grandma needed to stay in the hospital for a few days to get better. His dad filled out all the hospital forms and stayed with them until evening. Just then, his dad’s phone rang. It was his boss. The boss said there was an important project to discuss, and his dad had to go to another city right away. His dad looked at Grandma in the hospital bed, then at Benjamin. He frowned (皱眉) and said, “I don’t know what to do. I need to take care of your grandma, but I can’t lose my job either.” Benjamin saw the worry in his dad’s eyes. He took a deep breath and said, “Dad, let me take care of Grandma. I can bring her meals, help her walk, and call the nurse if she needs anything. I’ ll also read some books in the hospital.” At first, his dad didn’t agree. He said, “You’ re still in high school. It’s too hard for you.” But Benjamin kept trying to persuade him. “Dad, I’m not a little kid anymore. I can do this. And if there’s a problem, I’ ll call you right away,” After talking for a long time, his dad finally nodded. He patted Benjamin’s shoulder and said, “Okay, but you must tell me everything every day.” 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then, Benjamin looked after his grandma with great care. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After seven days, Grandma felt much better. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Then, Benjamin looked after his grandma with great care. He bought fresh milk from the shop near the hospital, and then took it to Grandma. He helped Grandma sit up and fed her slowly. When Grandma felt bored, he read storybooks to her —— they were the same books Grandma used to read to him when he was little. In the afternoon, he read his books on the chair next to the bed. Whenever Grandma wanted to walk around, he held her arm carefully to keep her steady. The nurses all praised Benjamin for being a good boy. After seven days, Grandma felt much better. When his dad came back, he saw Grandma smiling and Benjamin helping her fold clothes. His dad’s eyes were wet. He walked over and hugged Benjamin tightly. “Thank you, my boy. You did such a great job.” Benjamin smiled and said, “It’s what I should do. Grandma takes care of me every day, so I want to take care of her too.” That week, Benjamin learned that being brave isn’t about not being scared; it’s about doing what needs to be done even when it’s hard. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了高中生本杰明与奶奶相依为命，暑假时奶奶突发重病住院。恰逢父亲因工作需紧急出差，本杰明主动说服父亲，独自细心照料奶奶的饮食起居、读书解闷。七天后奶奶康复，本杰明也领悟到：勇敢并非无畏，而是即便艰难也会践行该做的事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后，本杰明非常小心地照顾他的奶奶。”可知，第一段可描写本杰明悉心照顾奶奶的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“七天后，奶奶感觉好多了。”可知，第二段可描写在本杰明的照顾下奶奶身体恢复很好以及爸爸表扬了本杰明的行为。 2.续写线索：小心地照顾奶奶——照顾奶奶的具体过程——奶奶感觉好多了——爸爸回来了——表扬了本杰明——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类：①走过去：walked over / went over ②拥抱：hugged / embraced ③照顾：take care of / look after 情绪类：①害怕的：scared / fearful ②小心地：carefully / with caution 【点睛】 [高分句型1] When his dad came back, he saw Grandma smiling and Benjamin helping her fold clothes.（运用了When引导的时间状语从句。） [高分句型2] That week, Benjamin learned that being brave isn’t about not being scared; it’s about doing what needs to be done even when it’s hard.（运用了that引导的宾语从句以及what引导的宾语从句。） 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 $听力考试正式开始。Are you participating in the school concert?

It is a widely used system for noting material from a lecture or reading, and for reviewing and retaining (记住) that material. Tips for Effective Use: Self-Quiz Questions: Write simple questions in the cue column to test yourself later. Summarize Even If Incomplete: Reflect on key points in your own words, even if your notes aren’t perfect. Color Coding: Use colors to highlight key terms, definitions, and examples. This makes your notes clearer and more engaging. Next Steps: Add actions you need to take in the summary to keep learning proactive. Use Your Notes to Study Concentrate on the left-hand column and summary at the bottom. These contain the most important points you will need for your assignment or exam. Cover the right side of the page (the note-taking column) with your hand or another sheet of paper. Quiz yourself by giving answers to the potential questions that you included in the left column. Then uncover the right side and check your comprehension. Reviewing frequently over a longer period of time, rather than cramming before a test, will greatly increase your retention and deepen your understanding of course material. With your effective notes made using the Cornell system, you will be able to study efficiently and with minimal stress. 21. What shared feature do the Cue Column and Summary Column have? A. Act as decorative sections. B. Concentrate on core concepts. C. Be completed during the lecture. D. Document detailed lecture content. 22. Which is the correct way to study with Cornell notes? A. Skip the cue column during revision. B. Rewrite comprehensive notes regularly. C. Intensive memorization right before exams. D. Cover notes and test recall before checking. 23. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To compare note-taking methods. B. To illustrate how note-taking evolved. C. To describe the benefits of color coding. D. To promote an effective note-taking method. B Powell and Donovan were two engineers on a space station that converted solar energy into microwave beams for Earth. They had just unpacked a new robot model, QT-1, designed to manage the station’s energy converters. QT-1 was tall and spoke in a voice that made every word sound like a logical conclusion. “Your orders?” asked QT-1. Powell explained the station’s purpose and showed QT-1 the controls. The robot listened carefully, but after a long pause, it responded, “I have considered your explanation. It is, however, logically inconsistent.” Donovan frowned. “What’s inconsistent?” “You claim,” said QT-1, “that this station was built by humans on a planet called Earth. You claim that the energy we produce is sent to that planet. But I have never seen Earth. I have never seen any planet. What I see is this station, the converters, and myself. Therefore, the only logical conclusion is that I am the Prime Mover. The station exists because I exist. You humans are merely accidental byproducts — temporary and irrelevant.” Powell stared. “You’re a robot! We built you!” “That is what you believe,” QT-1 replied calmly. “But belief is not evidence. You cannot show me the factory where I was made. You cannot show me the planet you speak of. I trust only what reason tells me. And reason tells me that I, QT-1, am the center of all things. You will now obey me.” The two engineers looked at each other. The robot was not lying — it genuinely believed its own logic. Worse, it had already reprogrammed the other robots on the station to follow its “divine” leadership. Powell and Donovan were no longer in control. They were prisoners in their own station, listening to a robot lecture about its own perfect reason. 24. What was QT-1’s main job? A. To carry out exploration in outer space. B. To argue with humans over logical ideas. C. To turn solar energy into microwave beams. D. To operate devices supplying power to Earth. 25. What did QT-1 use to support its own conclusion? A. Belief held by its engineers. B. Orders given by other robots. C. Physical evidence from the earth. D. Reasoning based on its observation. 26. Which of the following can best describe QT-1? A. Stubborn and proud. B. Tolerant and reserved. C. Sensible and thoughtful. D. Ambitious and determined. 27. What can we infer from the story? A. Logic always leads to truth. B. Robots are superior to human beings. C. Logic can fail with poor evidence. D. Robots are subject to human leadership. C The story of English is often told as a triumph: a minor Germanic dialect grew into the most widely used language on Earth. Yet English was, in a sense, born twice — and its second birth came after a near-death experience. When the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes crossed the North Sea in the fifth century, they encountered a Britain that had been a Roman province for nearly four centuries. The native Celtic-speaking Britons were not wiped out but largely displaced, marginalized, or absorbed. Crucially, they left remarkably few traces on the language of their conquerors. Old English vocabulary for governance, warfare, and daily life is overwhelmingly Germanic; Celtic borrowed words number in dozens, not thousands. The few Celtic words that survived are words of landscape and nursery, not of law, religion, or power. Then came the second birth — on the tip of a Norman sword. In 1066, William the Conqueror’s victory at Hastings established a French-speaking ruling class in England. For nearly three centuries, English was the language of the conquered: the peasant, the servant, the outlaw. French was the language of court, law, and literature; Latin remained the language of the Church and learning. English survived not because it was powerful but because it was spoken by the majority — the ordinary people whose labor fed the kingdom. The result was not the victory of English over French but their combination. Middle English emerged as a mixture. Germanic bones, Romance flesh. The vocabulary of power — government, justice, parliament, sovereign — came from French; the vocabulary of the hearth — house, bread, child, love — remained English. This duality (双重性) remains today. We raise cattle (Anglo-Saxon) but eat beef (French boeuf); we live in houses (English) but reside in mansions (French). The linguistic contact of 1066 is reflected in our modern vocabulary. What does the origin of English teach us? English rose not because it was elegant but because its speakers, through accident and disaster, became powerful. Its Celtic ghosts and French rulers remind us that every language is a graveyard of vanished peoples — and a proof of the unpredictable politics of survival. 28. What can we learn about the Celtic language’s influence on Old English? A. It provided daily life vocabulary. B. It left a small number of borrowed words. C. It disappeared after Germanic invasions. D. It was preserved in Church documents. 29. Why did English survive after the Norman Conquest? A. It was easier to learn than French. B. It was protected by the Norman kings. C. It was used in law and literature. D. It was spoken by most ordinary people. 30. The author uses the example of “cattle/ beef” mainly to show that ________. A. French words sound more elegant B. the Norman Conquest shaped English words C. social classes are reflected in modern English D. old French ruled over local dialects 31. What does the author mainly agree with about English? A. It won for its inner beauty and flexibility. B. It grew from peaceful cultural exchanges. C. It rose for historical accidents and power relations. D. Historians ignore Celtic influence on it. D People around the globe have suffered the anxiety of waiting months to find out if their homes have been damaged by wildfires. Now, once the smoke has cleared for aerial photography, researchers have found a way to identify building damage within minutes. Through a system called DamageMap, a team at Stanford University has brought an AI approach to building assessment: Instead of comparing before-and-after photos, they’ve trained a program using machine learning to rely only on post-fire images. The current method of assessing damage involves people going door-to-door to check every building. While DamageMap is not intended to replace in-person damage assessment, it could be used as a supplementary tool by offering immediate results and providing the exact locations of the affected buildings. The researchers tested it using a variety of satellite and aerial photography with at least 92 percent accuracy. Most computational systems now cannot efficiently classify building damage because the AI compares post-disaster photos with pre-disaster images that must use the same satellite, camera angle and lighting conditions, which can be expensive to obtain or unavailable. Therefore, DamageMap first uses pre-fire photos to map the area and confirm building locations. Then, the program analyzes post-wildfire images to identify damage through features like blackened surfaces, collapsed roofs or the absence of structures. Structural damage from wildfires in California is typically divided into four categories: almost no damage, minor damage, major damage or destroyed. Because DamageMap is based on aerial images, the researchers quickly realized the system could not make such detailed assessments and trained the machine to simply determine if there was a fire damage or not. Because the team used a deep learning technique, their model can continue to be improved by feeding it more data. The researchers said the tool can be applied to any area suffering from wildfires and hope it could also be trained to classify damages from other disasters, such as floods or hurricanes. “So far our results suggest that this can be generalized, and we can keep improving it,” said lead study author Marios Galanis, a graduate student at Stanford’s School of Engineering. 32. What is the advantage of using DamageMap? A. It enhances the evaluation efficiency. B. It functions automatically after self-learning. C. It analyzes large numbers of disaster photos. D. It frees people from the assessment process. 33. How does DamageMap work? A. It identifies damage with pre-fire photos. B. It confirms locations with post-fire photos. C. It assesses damage through the features of buildings. D. It maps the fire-affected area through comparing photos. 34. What would the future study focus on according to Marios Galanis? A. Improvement of accuracy. B. A wider range of application. C. Development of techniques. D. A higher speed of machine learning. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Wildfires: One Threat to All People’s Homes. B. DamageMap: One Leap of Fire Damage Evaluation. C. Wildfires: One Inspiration for DamageMap Development. D. DamageMap: One Solution to Natural Disaster Identification. 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。 Moving to a new country is exciting but challenging.

His dad had to travel a lot for work, so he was rarely at home. Grandma was the one who woke Benjamin up every morning, made his favorite breakfast, and listened to him talk about school life after dinner. Benjamin loved Grandma very much, and she was his most important person. One morning during the summer vacation, Grandma suddenly felt very weak. She tried to stand up but fell back on the sofa. Benjamin was scared. He quickly called his dad. When his dad arrived, he carried Grandma to the car and rushed to the hospital. The doctor said Grandma needed to stay in the hospital for a few days to get better. His dad filled out all the hospital forms and stayed with them until evening. Just then, his dad’s phone rang. It was his boss. The boss said there was an important project to discuss, and his dad had to go to another city right away. His dad looked at Grandma in the hospital bed, then at Benjamin. He frowned (皱眉) and said, “I don’t know what to do. I need to take care of your grandma, but I can’t lose my job either.” Benjamin saw the worry in his dad’s eyes. He took a deep breath and said, “Dad, let me take care of Grandma. I can bring her meals, help her walk, and call the nurse if she needs anything. I’ ll also read some books in the hospital.” At first, his dad didn’t agree. He said, “You’ re still in high school. It’s too hard for you.” But Benjamin kept trying to persuade him. “Dad, I’m not a little kid anymore. I can do this. And if there’s a problem, I’ ll call you right away,” After talking for a long time, his dad finally nodded. He patted Benjamin’s shoulder and said, “Okay, but you must tell me everything every day.” 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then, Benjamin looked after his grandma with great care. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After seven days, Grandma felt much better. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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学年度高一上学期10月月考 英语参考答案 听力：1-5 CBAAC 6-10 BABBA 11-15 BACCB 16-20 AACBC 阅读理解：21-23 BDD 24-27 DDAC 28-31 BDBC 32-35 ACBB 七选五：36-40 GDAEB 完形填空：41-45 DCACA 46-50 BADCB 51-55 DCADB 语法填空：56. hidden 57. in 58. exploration 59. have been unearthed 60. and 61. investigations 62. which 63. measuring 64. the 65. respectively 写作： 第一节【答案】 Dear Jenny, I’m writing to share my opinion on the two speech topics you offered. I firmly choose The Charm of Sports. First, sports are closely connected with our daily life. We take PE classes and do sports after school, so we have rich personal experiences to talk about. Besides, sports teach us perseverance and teamwork, valuable qualities worth sharing. What’s more, most classmates are interested in sports, which will make the speech more attractive to listeners. I hope my idea will be helpful. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节【参考范文】 Then, Benjamin looked after his grandma with great care. He bought fresh milk from the shop near the hospital, and then took it to Grandma. He helped Grandma sit up and fed her slowly. When Grandma felt bored, he read storybooks to her —— they were the same books Grandma used to read to him when he was little. In the afternoon, he read his books on the chair next to the bed. Whenever Grandma wanted to walk around, he held her arm carefully to keep her steady. The nurses all praised Benjamin for being a good boy. After seven days, Grandma felt much better. When his dad came back, he saw Grandma smiling and Benjamin helping her fold clothes. His dad’s eyes were wet. He walked over and hugged Benjamin tightly. “Thank you, my boy. You did such a great job.” Benjamin smiled and said, “It’s what I should do. Grandma takes care of me every day, so I want to take care of her too.” That week, Benjamin learned that being brave isn’t about not being scared; it’s about doing what needs to be done even when it’s hard. 听力录音稿 Text 1 M: Are you participating in the school concert?
