I just nodded my chin (下巴) toward the old round clock that had hung on our kitchen wall since before she was born. “When the big hand points straight up and the little hand is on eight,” I said. She went quiet for a moment. Then I heard her sigh, “But Mom,” she said, “that doesn’t tell me numbers. My tablet gives me the time in numbers. Why can’t you just tell me like normal?” It struck me then that Lily, who could unlock my phone, find her favorite app, and send voice messages to her grandmother in seconds, had never actually learned to read a clock face. She lived in a world of digital numbers, where time was just digits glowing (发亮) on a screen, not two hands moving slowly across a painted circle. I took the clock down from the wall and sat with her at the kitchen table. It took a while to explain that each number stood for five minutes, that the hands moved together like partners in a dance, that “half past” meant thirty and “quarter to” meant forty-five. She stared at the clock, clearly confused at first. Then suddenly her eyes lit up and she smiled. “It’s like a puzzle!” she said, and began pointing and counting under her breath. After a few more tries, she looked up. “So right now it’s twenty to eight?” she asked, and I nodded. I thought of my own mother then, who had taught me to tell time on the same clock when I was exactly Lily’s age. That clock had hung in our house for over thirty years, a quiet witness to countless bedtimes and hurried breakfasts. Lily ran off to watch her cartoon, but I stayed there, the old clock resting in my hands. Sometime thirty years ago, my mother leaned over this same table, pointing at those same hands, and I was the child who couldn’t read a clock. Now it is my turn. The clock ticks (滴答走时) on, steady and sure, and I realize it has never really been just measuring time. It has been measuring love, passed quietly from one pair of hands to the next. 4. Why couldn’t Lily tell when her cartoon would start? A. She had poor eyesight. B. She couldn’t read clocks with hands. C. She didn’t trust the old clock. D. She hadn’t learned numbers yet. 5. How did Lily react when she finally worked out the clock? A. Confused. B. Frightened. C. Joyful. D. Blank. 6. What does the clock stand for in the text? A. Family affection and continuity. B. A valuable family antique. C. A disappearing old tradition. D. Happy childhood memories. 7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Lily’s Puzzle B. Two Generations C. Digital Times D. Love Ticks on C For decades, city governments across the globe have been racing to expand urban tree cover, long convinced that greenery represents the single most effective weapon against the urban heat island effect. Trees cast shade, pump cooling moisture (水分) into the air, and can drive down street-level temperatures by several degrees on a summer afternoon. The common wisdom has been refreshingly simple: the more trees, the cooler the city. Yet a new study led by Professor Yuyu Zhou at the University of Hong Kong suggests this widely accepted picture is far from complete. Analyzing high-resolution satellite data from more than 700 cities across five continents, the researchers uncovered a striking geographical divide. In humid cities blessed with abundant rainfall, trees do deliver the expected cooling. But in dry urban centers, they can unexpectedly make the heat worse. The mechanism behind this warming paradox lies in how trees regulate their temperature. In wet climates, trees engage in evapotranspiration — releasing water vapor (水汽) through microscopic leaf pores (孔) — which draws heat away from the surrounding air much as sweating cools the human body. But in water-scarce regions, trees shut down this process to conserve moisture, effectively switching off their built-in cooling system. Their dark, thick tops, meanwhile, continue to absorb solar radiation rather than reflect it, trapping warmth at street level. In the driest neighborhoods, the team found, tree-lined avenues can run as much as 2℃ hotter than nearby light-colored open spaces. “This is by no means an argument against planting trees,” Professor Zhou emphasized. “They deliver a whole range of benefits — carbon storage, wildlife habitat, psychological well-being — that no amount of concrete can replace. But our findings do call for more careful, climate-sensitive planning.” The team recommends that dry-climate cities prioritize drought-adapted species capable of sustaining evapotranspiration with minimal water, or pair trees with pale, reflective paving. In wetter regions, by contrast, the conventional approach holds firm: trees remain unmatched in their cooling power. The broader lesson, Zhou argues, is that urban greening demands place-specific thinking rather than blanket, one-size-fits-all targets. 8. Which is the new finding of the study about urban trees? A. They fail to cool streets in most cities. B. Their cooling ability depends on tree species. C. Their cooling effect varies with local climate. D. They absorb less heat than previously thought. 9. Why is human sweating mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To explain the way trees cool the air. B. To explain the structure of leaf pores. C. To explain the features of wet climates. D. To explain the benefits of human sweating. 10. What does the underlined word “paradox” in paragraph 3 mean? A. A popular idea. B. A recent discovery. C. An established rule. D. A contradictory situation. 11. What would Professor Zhou probably support? A. Dry cities should plant fewer trees. B. High-tech materials can replace trees. C. Tree-planting should suit local conditions. D. Wet cities should use reflective paving. D A team of psychologists at Princeton and UCLA conducted experiments to compare how note-taking by hand versus on a laptop influences learning, and to identify the mechanism behind any difference. In one study, 65 students watched a 20-minute lecture and were randomly assigned to one of three conditions. One group took notes by hand. A second typed normally, as they would in class. A third also typed, but was clearly instructed not to copy what the speaker said word for word and instead to put ideas into their own words. Tested immediately on factual questions, all three groups performed about the same. On conceptual questions, however, the normal typists scored the lowest, while hand writers and the instructed typists performed roughly equally — nearly 20 percent above the normal typists. The pattern suggested that the advantage of handwriting lay not in the physical act itself but in the deeper processing it demanded. Normal typists, able to keep pace with the speaker, tended to record without much thought. Handwriters, forced to select and summarize, automatically engaged with the material. The third group, when told to reframe ideas, gained the same benefit even while typing — proof that the key variable was mental engagement, not the tool. To examine whether the effect held over time, the team ran a second experiment with roughly 150 students under the same three conditions. A week later, all returned for a surprise test, with half in each group given ten minutes to review their notes and the other half given none. Even with review, normal typists lagged behind the other two groups by about 15 percent. Without review, the gap widened further. The advantage, it seemed, came from thinking during the lecture, not from studying afterward. “The takeaway isn’t that laptops are bad,” said lead author Dr. Pam Mueller. “If you force yourself to think while typing, you can do just as well. The trouble is that typing makes mindless copying too easy. Handwriting, by slowing you down, builds that thinking in.” The finding carries weight beyond the lecture hall: whatever the setting, active processing outweighs passive recording. 12. What did the study mainly aim to discover? A. When taking notes helped students remember best. B. Why reviewing notes could improve typists’ scores. C. How different note-taking methods affected students’ learning. D. Whether laptops could influence students’ attention in class. 13. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The best method for determining sample size. B. The significance of accurate experimental data. C. The approach to scientifically assigning groups. D. The process and findings of the first experiment. 14. Why did the researchers include the third group? A. To find a better way to type lecture notes. B. To identify the real factor behind the advantage. C. To prove handwriting is the best learning method. D. To examine how typing speed affects learning. 15. What can we know from the last paragraph? A. Laptops are not suitable for class note-taking. B. Reviewing notes matters more than taking them. C. Making sense of lectures tops mindless note-taking. D. Different settings call for different learning methods. 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。 Self-esteem shapes how children see themselves and the world. Kids who feel good about themselves dare to try new things, bounce back from failures, and treat others with kindness. The good news is that strong self-worth is built, not born. Here are four simple, practical ways to nurture it at home. ●Give them real responsibilities. Children come to trust their own abilities most deeply when given tasks that carry genuine weight and matter to others within the household. ____16____ When they finish, rather than flooding them with empty, sweeping praise, step back and let them taste the particular satisfaction that arises when a job, carefully done, bears the mark of their own two hands. ● ____17____ Children are remarkably quick to absorb the unspoken messages adults send about themselves. When they hear you speak of your own mistakes with gentleness rather than shame, they take in that lesson more powerfully than any lecture could deliver. ____18____ The quiet respect with which you treat yourself will, more often than not, become the blueprint from which they draft their own self-regard. ●Let them solve their own problems. The desire to rush in, to smooth every rough edge, to spare your child the discomfort of struggle, can be nearly impossible to resist. But hold back; it is precisely in the wrestling — through the false starts, the frustrated sighs, and the small adjustments — that they come to see their own resourcefulness, discovering strengths they did not know they possessed. ____19____ ●Celebrate effort, not just results. ____20____ When your child finishes a task, resist the immediate urge to ask only about the grade or the prize. Ask instead: Did they throw themselves into it? Did they hang on when the work grew boring? Praising effort, strategy, and persistence — rather than talent or result — teaches them that their worth is not conditional on being the best or never making mistakes. A. Model healthy self-respect in your daily life. B. Even small everyday ones carry this quiet power. C. That hard-won confidence will serve them for years. D. Make sure to praise the final product more than the process. E. Children learn more from what you do than from what you say. F. Learn to look past the final result and notice the effort behind it. G. Help them understand that failure is a natural part of growing up. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I lived my entire childhood in a southern Maine town with 6,000 people, two stop lights, the occasional deer, and nothing that resembled a downtown. My mom, aunts, uncles, and cousins had all ____21____ the same high school I did. And, for much of high school, I worked weekends at my family’s ____22____, where I served eggs and coffee to customers who had known me since kindergarten. While I always had an eagerness to experience the world outside my town, it was also the place I felt comfortable, safe, and ____23____. For this reason, making the decision to attend ____24____ in “the big city” was a big deal. When I arrived on the very urban campus of the university I attended, there were things I loved, like the number of Starbucks, and things that ____25____ me, like the bus system in Boston. The large volume of people, sounds, and smells took me some time to get used to. The most challenging was coping with the ____26____ that came with missing out on the traditions and events that had ____27____ life in my small town. In spite of missing home, making the ____28____ to college ultimately gave me so much, the most important being ____29____. By independently exploring the city’s neighborhoods, engaging with the diversity of Boston, and ____30____ relationships with a wide range of classmates, my understanding of identity, equality, ____31____, and resilience (韧性) was developed. Leaving my small town was its own form of ____32____, separate from my college classes, because it ____33____ how I perceived the people, institutions, systems, and laws around me. But ____34____, so much of what I believe in came from experiencing two contrasting ____35____ and engaging in the critical thinking necessary to reach my own opinions. 21. A. found B. visited C. attended D. reached 22. A. restaurant B. farm C. store D. office 23. A. hesitant B. adventurous C. cautious D. secure 24. A. church B. college C. camp D. court 25.

Puppets (皮影人) are usually made from leather fashioned from the hides of animals. After ____39____ (treat), washed, dried and ironed, it goes through 10 more processes, including design, carving and coloring. The puppet head, body, arms and legs are separately carved and strung ____40____ (loose) into a flexible and movable whole. Performing with these carefully made puppets, however, is no easy task. Performers seem to do everything at once. They control the silk strings to which the puppets ____41____ (attach) while beating drums or gongs (锣), telling stories and singing songs all at the same time. Scholars believe that Chinese shadow puppetry first came ____42____ being during the Western Han Dynasty. When the favorite wife of Emperor Wudi (156 BCE — 87 BCE) died of illness, he was so sad that a man devised the idea of a back-lit puppet show behind a curtain to comfort him. The star puppet looked just like the emperor’s favorite wife, ____43____ both comforted and pleased him. As the world’s earliest screened performance art, shadow puppetry is praised as the forerunner (先驱) of movies ____44____ a living fossil of Chinese folk culture.

Lily, her fourteen-year-old daughter, had spent the first day complaining about the rain and comparing their trip to her friends’ holidays in Spain and Greece. Simon, eleven, was unusually quiet, staring out of the cottage window at the grey sky. And Sean, Diane’s husband, had brought his laptop and phone as if the Lakes were merely another office with a better view. Diane had chosen this trip for a reason. With Sean’s engineering job taking him all over the country and her own administrative work filling the gaps, the family had started to feel less and less like one. She had hoped that the familiar lakes, woodland trails and picnic spots would remind them what it meant to be together. Determined to make the most of it, she planned a visit to Dove Cottage, where the poet William Wordsworth had once lived. But Sean’s unscheduled online meeting delayed their departure, and when they finally arrived, the place was packed with damp, impatient tourists. Lily rolled her eyes; Simon said nothing; Sean checked his phone. Back at the cottage, Diane tried to save the day. She prepared a meal of local produce and suggested a board game. Simon mumbled (嘟囔) that he had homework. Lily said angrily, “Why do you insist on organising us all the time? It drives me mad. We’re not little kids anymore.” She stormed off to her room, Simon trailing behind her. Diane turned to Sean. “Did you hear that?” He put down his phone. “She’s only telling the truth, Diane. I know you mean well, but it can get a bit … tiresome.” Diane blinked (眨眼) back tears and said softly, “That’s because we’re a family and we’re supposed to be on holiday. Before we know it, the children will be grown up. It would be nice to spend some time together, which hardly seems to happen nowadays.” Sean looked away. 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。 After quite a long silence, Sean finally found his voice. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, the rain cleared and soft sunlight filled the cottage. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2027届高三10月教学质量检测 英 语 考生注意： 1．本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2．考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了Maplewood公共图书馆为社区提供的夏季活动、设施服务以及借阅规则。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Upcoming Summer Events表格中“Teen Creative Writing (青少年创意写作)”对应的“Ages 13 — 17 (13至17岁)”可知，只有青少年创意写作的目标群体是青少年，其他三个都不是专门为青少年设计的。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Reader Services部分中“For those who need absolute quiet, the fourth floor — the building’s top floor — houses the Scholar’s Nook, with private study booths (隔间) and individual reading lamps. (对于那些需要绝对安静的人来说，第四层——也就是这栋楼的顶层——设有“学者角落”，那里有私人学习隔间和个人阅读灯。)”可知，对于那些想要完全安静的读者来说，“学者角落”是最适合的区域。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Borrowing & Visitor Rules部分中“A valid library card is required to borrow books or join special events. (借阅书籍或参加特别活动都需要有效的图书馆卡。)”可知，借阅书籍需要一张有效的借书卡。 B The other evening, my seven-year-old daughter Lily wandered into the kitchen, and asked me how soon her favorite cartoon would start. I just nodded my chin (下巴) toward the old round clock that had hung on our kitchen wall since before she was born. “When the big hand points straight up and the little hand is on eight,” I said. She went quiet for a moment. Then I heard her sigh, “But Mom,” she said, “that doesn’t tell me numbers. My tablet gives me the time in numbers. Why can’t you just tell me like normal?” It struck me then that Lily, who could unlock my phone, find her favorite app, and send voice messages to her grandmother in seconds, had never actually learned to read a clock face. She lived in a world of digital numbers, where time was just digits glowing (发亮) on a screen, not two hands moving slowly across a painted circle. I took the clock down from the wall and sat with her at the kitchen table. It took a while to explain that each number stood for five minutes, that the hands moved together like partners in a dance, that “half past” meant thirty and “quarter to” meant forty-five. She stared at the clock, clearly confused at first. Then suddenly her eyes lit up and she smiled. “It’s like a puzzle!” she said, and began pointing and counting under her breath. After a few more tries, she looked up. “So right now it’s twenty to eight?” she asked, and I nodded. I thought of my own mother then, who had taught me to tell time on the same clock when I was exactly Lily’s age. That clock had hung in our house for over thirty years, a quiet witness to countless bedtimes and hurried breakfasts. Lily ran off to watch her cartoon, but I stayed there, the old clock resting in my hands. Sometime thirty years ago, my mother leaned over this same table, pointing at those same hands, and I was the child who couldn’t read a clock. Now it is my turn. The clock ticks (滴答走时) on, steady and sure, and I realize it has never really been just measuring time. It has been measuring love, passed quietly from one pair of hands to the next. 4. Why couldn’t Lily tell when her cartoon would start? A. She had poor eyesight. B. She couldn’t read clocks with hands. C. She didn’t trust the old clock. D. She hadn’t learned numbers yet. 5. How did Lily react when she finally worked out the clock? A. Confused. B. Frightened. C. Joyful. D. Blank. 6. What does the clock stand for in the text? A. Family affection and continuity. B. A valuable family antique. C. A disappearing old tradition. D. Happy childhood memories. 7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Lily’s Puzzle B. Two Generations C. Digital Times D. Love Ticks on 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者教女儿认读传统时钟指针，回忆起自己儿时被母亲教导的经历，感悟到时钟传递着代代延续的亲情与爱。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。​根据第一段中“Then I heard her sigh, “But Mom,” she said, “that doesn’t tell me numbers. My tablet gives me the time in numbers. Why can’t you just tell me like normal?”(然后我听到她叹了口气说：“但是妈妈，你说的这个没告诉我数字形式的时间。我的平板电脑会直接用数字告诉我时间你为什么就不能像平常那样直接告诉我呢？”)”以及第二段中“It struck me then that Lily, who could unlock my phone, find her favorite app, and send voice messages to her grandmother in seconds, had never actually learned to read a clock face.(我突然意识到，莉莉能在几秒钟内解锁我的手机、找到她最喜欢的应用程序、给祖母发语音信息，但她实际上从来没学会认读指针式时钟的时间)”可知，莉莉无法判断动画片何时开始是因为她不会看带指针的时钟。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。​根据第三段中“She stared at the clock, clearly confused at first. Then suddenly her eyes lit up and she smiled. “It’s like a puzzle!” she said, and began pointing and counting under her breath.(她盯着时钟，起初显然很困惑。然后突然她的眼睛亮了起来，微笑着。“这就像一个谜题！”她说，然后开始低声指着数数)”可知，当莉莉最终弄懂时钟时，她先是眼睛发亮，然后微笑着开始数数，表现出高兴和兴奋的情绪。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。​根据第四段中“I thought of my own mother then, who had taught me to tell time on the same clock when I was exactly Lily’s age. That clock had hung in our house for over thirty years, a quiet witness to countless bedtimes and hurried breakfasts.(我想起了我自己的母亲，她在我和莉莉一样大的时候用同一个时钟教我看时间。那个时钟在我们家挂了三十多年，静静地见证了许多次就寝时间和匆忙的早餐)”以及最后一段中“The clock ticks (滴答走时) on, steady and sure, and I realize it has never really been just measuring time. It has been measuring love, passed quietly from one pair of hands to the next.(时钟滴答作响，稳定而坚定，我意识到它从来不仅仅是在测量时间。它一直在测量爱，从一双手悄悄地传递到下一双手)”可知，时钟不仅是一个计时工具，更是家庭情感和世代延续的象征。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。​根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段中“The clock ticks (滴答走时) on, steady and sure, and I realize it has never really been just measuring time. It has been measuring love, passed quietly from one pair of hands to the next.(时钟滴答作响，稳定而坚定，我意识到它从来不仅仅是在测量时间。它一直在测量爱，从一双手悄悄地传递到下一双手)”可知，文章通过教女儿认时钟的经历，揭示了时钟所承载的亲情与爱的传递，标题“Love Ticks on”既呼应了时钟的滴答声，又点明了爱的延续这一主题。 C For decades, city governments across the globe have been racing to expand urban tree cover, long convinced that greenery represents the single most effective weapon against the urban heat island effect. Trees cast shade, pump cooling moisture (水分) into the air, and can drive down street-level temperatures by several degrees on a summer afternoon. The common wisdom has been refreshingly simple: the more trees, the cooler the city. Yet a new study led by Professor Yuyu Zhou at the University of Hong Kong suggests this widely accepted picture is far from complete. Analyzing high-resolution satellite data from more than 700 cities across five continents, the researchers uncovered a striking geographical divide. In humid cities blessed with abundant rainfall, trees do deliver the expected cooling. But in dry urban centers, they can unexpectedly make the heat worse. The mechanism behind this warming paradox lies in how trees regulate their temperature. In wet climates, trees engage in evapotranspiration — releasing water vapor (水汽) through microscopic leaf pores (孔) — which draws heat away from the surrounding air much as sweating cools the human body. But in water-scarce regions, trees shut down this process to conserve moisture, effectively switching off their built-in cooling system. Their dark, thick tops, meanwhile, continue to absorb solar radiation rather than reflect it, trapping warmth at street level. In the driest neighborhoods, the team found, tree-lined avenues can run as much as 2℃ hotter than nearby light-colored open spaces. “This is by no means an argument against planting trees,” Professor Zhou emphasized. “They deliver a whole range of benefits — carbon storage, wildlife habitat, psychological well-being — that no amount of concrete can replace. But our findings do call for more careful, climate-sensitive planning.” The team recommends that dry-climate cities prioritize drought-adapted species capable of sustaining evapotranspiration with minimal water, or pair trees with pale, reflective paving. In wetter regions, by contrast, the conventional approach holds firm: trees remain unmatched in their cooling power. The broader lesson, Zhou argues, is that urban greening demands place-specific thinking rather than blanket, one-size-fits-all targets. 8. Which is the new finding of the study about urban trees? A. They fail to cool streets in most cities. B. Their cooling ability depends on tree species. C. Their cooling effect varies with local climate. D. They absorb less heat than previously thought. 9. Why is human sweating mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To explain the way trees cool the air. B. To explain the structure of leaf pores. C. To explain the features of wet climates. D. To explain the benefits of human sweating. 10. What does the underlined word “paradox” in paragraph 3 mean? A. A popular idea. B. A recent discovery. C. An established rule. D. A contradictory situation. 11. What would Professor Zhou probably support? A. Dry cities should plant fewer trees. B. High-tech materials can replace trees. C. Tree-planting should suit local conditions. D. Wet cities should use reflective paving. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍一项新研究，城市树木降温效果随当地气候而不同，城市绿化要因地制宜规划。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In humid cities blessed with abundant rainfall, trees do deliver the expected cooling. But in dry urban centers, they can unexpectedly make the heat worse.(在降水充足的湿润城市，树木确实能起到预期的降温效果。但在干旱的城市中心，树木却会意外加剧高温)”可知，树木的降温效果随当地气候发生变化。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“In wet climates, trees engage in evapotranspiration — releasing water vapor (水汽) through microscopic leaf pores (孔) — which draws heat away from the surrounding air much as sweating cools the human body.(在湿润气候环境中，树木会进行蒸散作用——通过叶片微小气孔释放水蒸气——以此带走周围空气中的热量，原理和人体出汗降温十分相似)”可知，作者借用人类出汗的例子，解释树木给空气降温的原理。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“The mechanism behind this warming paradox lies in how trees regulate their temperature.(这种变暖paradox背后的机制在于树木如何调节自身的温度)”和“But in water-scarce regions, trees shut down this process to conserve moisture, effectively switching off their built-in cooling system. Their dark, thick tops, meanwhile, continue to absorb solar radiation rather than reflect it, trapping warmth at street level.(但在缺水地区，树木会停止这一过程以保存水分，相当于关闭了自身内置的降温系统。与此同时，它们颜色深、茂密的树冠持续吸收太阳辐射而非将其反射，在近地面留存热量)”可知，树木本应降温，干旱地区树木反而增温，这是矛盾的现象，因此，画线单词paradox意为“矛盾的情况”。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The broader lesson, Zhou argues, is that urban greening demands place-specific thinking rather than blanket, one-size-fits-all targets.(周教授认为，更重要的启示是城市绿化需要因地制宜思考，而不是一刀切的统一目标)”可知，周教授支持植树要贴合当地实际条件。 D A team of psychologists at Princeton and UCLA conducted experiments to compare how note-taking by hand versus on a laptop influences learning, and to identify the mechanism behind any difference. In one study, 65 students watched a 20-minute lecture and were randomly assigned to one of three conditions. One group took notes by hand. A second typed normally, as they would in class. A third also typed, but was clearly instructed not to copy what the speaker said word for word and instead to put ideas into their own words. Tested immediately on factual questions, all three groups performed about the same. On conceptual questions, however, the normal typists scored the lowest, while hand writers and the instructed typists performed roughly equally — nearly 20 percent above the normal typists. The pattern suggested that the advantage of handwriting lay not in the physical act itself but in the deeper processing it demanded. Normal typists, able to keep pace with the speaker, tended to record without much thought. Handwriters, forced to select and summarize, automatically engaged with the material. The third group, when told to reframe ideas, gained the same benefit even while typing — proof that the key variable was mental engagement, not the tool. To examine whether the effect held over time, the team ran a second experiment with roughly 150 students under the same three conditions. A week later, all returned for a surprise test, with half in each group given ten minutes to review their notes and the other half given none. Even with review, normal typists lagged behind the other two groups by about 15 percent. Without review, the gap widened further. The advantage, it seemed, came from thinking during the lecture, not from studying afterward. “The takeaway isn’t that laptops are bad,” said lead author Dr. Pam Mueller. “If you force yourself to think while typing, you can do just as well. The trouble is that typing makes mindless copying too easy. Handwriting, by slowing you down, builds that thinking in.” The finding carries weight beyond the lecture hall: whatever the setting, active processing outweighs passive recording. 12. What did the study mainly aim to discover? A. When taking notes helped students remember best. B. Why reviewing notes could improve typists’ scores. C. How different note-taking methods affected students’ learning. D. Whether laptops could influence students’ attention in class. 13. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The best method for determining sample size. B. The significance of accurate experimental data. C. The approach to scientifically assigning groups. D. The process and findings of the first experiment. 14. Why did the researchers include the third group? A. To find a better way to type lecture notes. B. To identify the real factor behind the advantage. C. To prove handwriting is the best learning method. D. To examine how typing speed affects learning. 15. What can we know from the last paragraph? A. Laptops are not suitable for class note-taking. B. Reviewing notes matters more than taking them. C. Making sense of lectures tops mindless note-taking. D. Different settings call for different learning methods. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了一项实验，比较手写与电脑打字记笔记对学习的影响，发现关键在于是否进行深度思考。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A team of psychologists at Princeton and UCLA conducted experiments to compare how note-taking by hand versus on a laptop influences learning, and to identify the mechanism behind any difference.(普林斯顿大学和加州大学洛杉矶分校的一个心理学家团队进行了实验，比较手写记笔记与用笔记本电脑记笔记如何影响学习，并找出差异背后的机制。)”可知，这项研究的主要目的是发现不同的记笔记方式如何影响学生的学习。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“In one study, 65 students watched a 20-minute lecture and were randomly assigned to one of three conditions.

Normal typists, able to keep pace with the speaker, tended to record without much thought. Handwriters, forced to select and summarize, automatically engaged with the material. The third group, when told to reframe ideas, gained the same benefit even while typing — proof that the key variable was mental engagement, not the tool.(这一模式表明，手写的优势不在于身体动作本身，而在于它所要求的更深层次加工。正常打字者能够跟上演讲者的速度，往往不加思考地记录。手写者被迫选择和总结，自动与材料互动。第三组在被要求重新表述观点时，即使在打字时也获得了同样的好处——这证明关键变量是心理投入，而不是工具。)”可知，研究人员加入第三组是为了确定优势背后的真正因素。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“‌“The takeaway isn’t that laptops are bad,” said lead author Dr. Pam Mueller. ‌“If you force yourself to think while typing, you can do just as well. The trouble is that typing makes mindless copying too easy. Handwriting, by slowing you down, builds that thinking in.” The finding carries weight beyond the lecture hall: whatever the setting, active processing outweighs passive recording.(“结论并不是笔记本电脑不好，”首席作者帕姆·穆勒博士说。“如果你强迫自己在打字时思考，你也能做得一样好。问题在于打字让无意识的抄写变得太容易。手写通过让你慢下来，把这种思考融入其中。”这一发现的意义超越了讲堂：无论什么场合，主动加工都胜过被动记录。)”可知，从最后一段我们可以了解到理解讲座内容比无意识记笔记更重要。 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。 Self-esteem shapes how children see themselves and the world. Kids who feel good about themselves dare to try new things, bounce back from failures, and treat others with kindness. The good news is that strong self-worth is built, not born. Here are four simple, practical ways to nurture it at home. ●Give them real responsibilities. Children come to trust their own abilities most deeply when given tasks that carry genuine weight and matter to others within the household. ____16____ When they finish, rather than flooding them with empty, sweeping praise, step back and let them taste the particular satisfaction that arises when a job, carefully done, bears the mark of their own two hands. ● ____17____ Children are remarkably quick to absorb the unspoken messages adults send about themselves. When they hear you speak of your own mistakes with gentleness rather than shame, they take in that lesson more powerfully than any lecture could deliver. ____18____ The quiet respect with which you treat yourself will, more often than not, become the blueprint from which they draft their own self-regard. ●Let them solve their own problems. The desire to rush in, to smooth every rough edge, to spare your child the discomfort of struggle, can be nearly impossible to resist. But hold back; it is precisely in the wrestling — through the false starts, the frustrated sighs, and the small adjustments — that they come to see their own resourcefulness, discovering strengths they did not know they possessed. ____19____ ●Celebrate effort, not just results. ____20____ When your child finishes a task, resist the immediate urge to ask only about the grade or the prize. Ask instead: Did they throw themselves into it? Did they hang on when the work grew boring? Praising effort, strategy, and persistence — rather than talent or result — teaches them that their worth is not conditional on being the best or never making mistakes. A. Model healthy self-respect in your daily life. B. Even small everyday ones carry this quiet power. C. That hard-won confidence will serve them for years. D. Make sure to praise the final product more than the process. E. Children learn more from what you do than from what you say. F. Learn to look past the final result and notice the effort behind it. G. Help them understand that failure is a natural part of growing up. 【答案】16. B 17. A 18. E 19. C 20. F 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了培养孩子自尊心的四个实用方法：赋予责任、树立榜样、自主解决问题和重视努力。 【16题详解】 标题“Give them real responsibilities.(给他们真正的责任)”以及上文“Children come to trust their own abilities most deeply when given tasks that carry genuine weight and matter to others within the household.(当孩子们被赋予在家庭中具有重要分量且对他人有意义的任务时，他们会最深刻地信任自己的能力)”说明要给孩子安排有分量的家务。空处应承接上文，进一步说明任务的力量。B项“即使是日常的小任务也拥有这种安静的力量。”符合语境，该项中的ones指代前文的tasks，“this quiet power”呼应前文的“trust their own abilities”，说明小任务同样能培养孩子的自信。 【17题详解】 下文“Children are remarkably quick to absorb the unspoken messages adults send about themselves. When they hear you speak of your own mistakes with gentleness rather than shame, they take in that lesson more powerfully than any lecture could deliver.(孩子们能非常迅速地吸收成年人关于自己的无声信息。当他们听到你温和而非羞愧地谈论自己的错误时，他们对这一教训的吸收效果远胜于任何说教)”说明本段主要讲父母要以身作则，展示健康的自尊。空处为段落的主旨句，A项“在日常生活中树立健康的自尊榜样。”概括了本段主旨，即父母通过自身行为为孩子示范。 【18题详解】 上文“When they hear you speak of your own mistakes with gentleness rather than shame, they take in that lesson more powerfully than any lecture could deliver.(当他们听到你温和而非羞愧地谈论自己的错误时，他们对这一教训的吸收效果远胜于任何说教)”说明父母的身教胜于言传。空处承接前文，进一步点明孩子从父母的实际行动中学到的东西远多于道理。E项“孩子们从你的所作所为中学到的东西，远多于从你所说的话中学到的”是对前文的总结，且“what you do”与“what you say”分别对应前文的“speak of your own mistakes”和“lecture”，和后文“你对待自己的那种无声的尊重，通常会成为他们构建自我尊重的蓝本”形成顺畅衔接。 【19题详解】 上文“But hold back; it is precisely in the wrestling — through the false starts, the frustrated sighs, and the small adjustments — that they come to see their own resourcefulness, discovering strengths they did not know they possessed.(但是要忍住；正是在这种挣扎中——通过错误的开始、沮丧的叹息和微小的调整——他们才看到自己的足智多谋，发现他们不知道自己拥有的力量)”说明让孩子自己解决问题能培养他们的能力和信心。空处和前文为顺接关系，说明这种靠自己努力换来的自信会让他们长期受益。C项“那种来之不易的信心将使他们受益多年。”符合语境，该项中的“That hard-won confidence”指代前文通过解决问题获得的自信，说明这种自信的长远价值。 【20题详解】 本段主旨“Celebrate effort, not just results.(赞美努力，而不仅仅是结果)”以及下文“When your child finishes a task, resist the immediate urge to ask only about the grade or the prize.(当你的孩子完成一项任务时，克制住只问成绩或奖品的冲动)”说明要关注努力而非结果。空处作为段首主题句引出后文的具体做法。F项“学会忽略最终结果，注意到背后的努力。”与主旨句和下文内容一致，且“look past the final result”与下文的“resist the immediate urge to ask only about the grade or the prize”相呼应。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I lived my entire childhood in a southern Maine town with 6,000 people, two stop lights, the occasional deer, and nothing that resembled a downtown. My mom, aunts, uncles, and cousins had all ____21____ the same high school I did.

While I always had an eagerness to experience the world outside my town, it was also the place I felt comfortable, safe, and ____23____. For this reason, making the decision to attend ____24____ in “the big city” was a big deal. When I arrived on the very urban campus of the university I attended, there were things I loved, like the number of Starbucks, and things that ____25____ me, like the bus system in Boston. The large volume of people, sounds, and smells took me some time to get used to. The most challenging was coping with the ____26____ that came with missing out on the traditions and events that had ____27____ life in my small town. In spite of missing home, making the ____28____ to college ultimately gave me so much, the most important being ____29____. By independently exploring the city’s neighborhoods, engaging with the diversity of Boston, and ____30____ relationships with a wide range of classmates, my understanding of identity, equality, ____31____, and resilience (韧性) was developed. Leaving my small town was its own form of ____32____, separate from my college classes, because it ____33____ how I perceived the people, institutions, systems, and laws around me. But ____34____, so much of what I believe in came from experiencing two contrasting ____35____ and engaging in the critical thinking necessary to reach my own opinions. 21.

Controlling 37. a 38. musical 39. being treated 40. loosely 41. are attached 42. into 43. which 44. and 45. innovators 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍中国皮影戏的表演方式、制作工艺、起源历史以及它如今的传承发展现状。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：表演者在光源和一块白色幕布之间用丝线和竹棍操控皮影，让人物伴着鼓和其他乐器的音乐舞动、歌唱。此处为非谓语动词作状语，control与逻辑主语performers之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词controlling，位于句首，首字母需大写。 【37题详解】 考查冠词。句意：表演者在光源和一块白色幕布之间用丝线和竹棍操控皮影，让人物伴着鼓和其他乐器的音乐舞动、歌唱。white screen为可数名词单数，空前无限定词，所以此处使用冠词，结合句意，此处表示“一块白色幕布”，为泛指，且white是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词a。 【38题详解】 考查形容词。句意：表演者在光源和一块白色幕布之间用丝线和竹棍操控皮影，让人物伴着鼓和其他乐器的音乐舞动、歌唱。此处修饰名词instruments，要用形容词形式，music的形容词musical意为“音乐的”，musical instruments意为“乐器”。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：经过处理、清洗、晾干和熨烫之后，它还要经过十多道工序，包括设计、雕刻和上色。介词After后面接动名词，it和treat之间是被动关系，所以用动名词的被动形式being treated。 【40题详解】 考查副词。句意：皮影的头部、身体、手臂和腿被分开雕刻，再松散地串在一起，组成一个灵活可活动的整体。此处修饰动词strung，要用副词形式，loose的副词loosely意为“松散地”。 【41题详解】 考查动词语态。句意：他们操控连着皮影的丝线，同时敲鼓或锣、讲故事、唱歌。此处为定语从句中的谓语动词，主语the puppets和attach之间为被动关系，陈述客观事实，用一般现在时的被动语态，主语是复数，所以谓语动词为are attached。 【42题详解】 考查介词。句意：学者认为中国皮影戏最早诞生于西汉时期。固定搭配come into being意为“形成，诞生”，所以此处为介词into。 【43题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：这个明星皮影人偶长得和皇帝的爱妃一模一样，这既安慰了皇帝，也让他感到欣慰。此处引导非限制性定语从句，指代前面整句话的内容，在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which。 【44题详解】 考查并列连词。句意：作为世界最早的银幕表演艺术，皮影戏被誉为电影的先驱和中国民间文化的活化石。the forerunner of movies和a living fossil of Chinese folk culture是并列关系，所以此处为并列连词and。 【45题详解】 考查名词。句意：幸运的是，一些创新者找到了将它与动画结合的方法。some后面接可数名词复数，innovate是动词，其名词innovator意为“创新者”，复数形式为innovators。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 你校英文报“Pioneer”栏目正在征稿，请你就未来职业选择中的三个因素：personal interest（个人兴趣），social contribution（社会贡献），good pay（高薪），按重要性排序，并阐述理由。 注意： 1．写作词数应为80左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Ranking My Career Priorities ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Ranking My Career Priorities When choosing a future career, I put personal interest first, social contribution second, and good pay last. Interest is the engine that keeps us going: lost in work we love, we never feel drained. A job also gains meaning when it helps others, filling us with purpose. Money, meanwhile, pays the bills, yet a fat salary can never rescue a meaningless job. Follow interest, serve others, and treat pay as a reward, not a goal — such is the order that makes work worth pursuing. 【解析】 【导语】要求考生就未来职业选择中的三个因素按重要性排序并阐述理由，投稿至校报“Pioneer”栏目。 【详解】1.词汇积累 选择：choose→select 疲惫的：drained→exhausted 把……放在首位：put...first→prioritize 拯救：rescue→salvage 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Money, meanwhile, pays the bills, yet a fat salary can never rescue a meaningless job. 拓展句：Money, meanwhile, pays the bills, yet a fat salary can never rescue a job that is totally meaningless. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Interest is the engine that keeps us going: lost in work we love, we never feel drained.（运用了that引导的限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】A job also gains meaning when it helps others, filling us with purpose.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句，现在分词作状语） 第二节（满分25分） 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 The Lake District had always been Diane’s favourite destination, but this family holiday was off to a tough start. Lily, her fourteen-year-old daughter, had spent the first day complaining about the rain and comparing their trip to her friends’ holidays in Spain and Greece. Simon, eleven, was unusually quiet, staring out of the cottage window at the grey sky. And Sean, Diane’s husband, had brought his laptop and phone as if the Lakes were merely another office with a better view. Diane had chosen this trip for a reason. With Sean’s engineering job taking him all over the country and her own administrative work filling the gaps, the family had started to feel less and less like one. She had hoped that the familiar lakes, woodland trails and picnic spots would remind them what it meant to be together. Determined to make the most of it, she planned a visit to Dove Cottage, where the poet William Wordsworth had once lived. But Sean’s unscheduled online meeting delayed their departure, and when they finally arrived, the place was packed with damp, impatient tourists. Lily rolled her eyes; Simon said nothing; Sean checked his phone. Back at the cottage, Diane tried to save the day. She prepared a meal of local produce and suggested a board game. Simon mumbled (嘟囔) that he had homework. Lily said angrily, “Why do you insist on organising us all the time? It drives me mad. We’re not little kids anymore.” She stormed off to her room, Simon trailing behind her. Diane turned to Sean. “Did you hear that?” He put down his phone. “She’s only telling the truth, Diane. I know you mean well, but it can get a bit … tiresome.” Diane blinked (眨眼) back tears and said softly, “That’s because we’re a family and we’re supposed to be on holiday. Before we know it, the children will be grown up. It would be nice to spend some time together, which hardly seems to happen nowadays.” Sean looked away. 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。 After quite a long silence, Sean finally found his voice. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, the rain cleared and soft sunlight filled the cottage. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: After quite a long silence, Sean finally found his voice. “You’re right,” he said quietly. “I’ve been everywhere except here. I’ve been treating this holiday like a break between meetings.” Diane felt the tight knot in her chest begin to loosen. Before she could speak, the door creaked open. Lily stood there, her eyes red, with Simon peeking over her shoulder. “We’re sorry, Mum,” Lily whispered. “We didn’t mean to ruin the holiday.” Diane opened her arms, and they all moved into a clumsy, warm hug. “We didn’t ruin it,” she said, her voice thick. “We just need to start again.” The next morning, the rain cleared and soft sunlight filled the cottage. Diane woke to the smell of bacon and the sound of laughter from the kitchen. When she went downstairs, she found Sean making breakfast, Lily setting the table, and Simon sketching the mountains through the window. “Forecast says it’s going to be fine,” Sean said, smiling. After breakfast, they walked to the lakeshore, where the water glittered like a mirror and wildflowers lined the path. They didn’t plan much; they simply stayed together, talking and laughing as the clouds drifted apart. Diane realised that holidays, like families, were not about perfect weather or perfect plans. They were about weathering the storms — together. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述黛安一家到湖区度假，起初氛围糟糕：女儿莉莉不停抱怨，儿子西蒙沉默寡言，丈夫肖恩忙于工作。黛安想借助这次旅行凝聚家人，精心安排活动却接连受挫，一家人爆发矛盾，黛安内心难过。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写沉默过后肖恩反思认错，莉莉和西蒙走出房间道歉，一家人拥抱和解。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写次日雨过天晴，家人一起准备早餐，漫步湖边，感悟家人相伴无需完美计划。 2. 续写线索：沉默反思——家人道歉——拥抱和解——雨过天晴——共度清晨——湖边漫步——感悟亲情 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①放松：loosen/relax ②低语：whisper/murmur 情绪类 ①道歉：say sorry/apologize/express regret ②温暖：warm/cozy/gentle 【点睛】【高分句型1】Lily stood there, her eyes red, with Simon peeking over her shoulder.（运用了独立主格结构和with复合结构作状语） 【高分句型2】After breakfast, they walked to the lakeshore, where the water glittered like a mirror and wildflowers lined the path.（运用了where引导的非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
