B 2. C 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍联合国教科文组织推出的三门媒介与信息素养在线课程的相关信息。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Education for all must therefore include Media and Information Literacy (MIL) for all. With this recognition, UNESCO has supported the development of massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) on MIL in multiple languages, in cooperation with different partners.(因此，全民教育必须包括全民的媒介与信息素养。基于这一认知，联合国教科文组织与不同合作伙伴合作，支持开发了多语言的媒介与信息素养大规模开放在线课程。)”可知，教科文组织支持开发相关课程，是为了让更多人有机会接受MIL相关的培训，普及该素养。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据“MIL: fostering A cognitive-Emotional Approach”部分中的“This self-directed and interactive course created by UNESCO aims to help learners gain a deep understanding of media literacy and recognize its significance in both their daily lives and society as a whole.(这门由联合国教科文组织打造的自主式互动课程，旨在帮助学习者深入理解媒介素养，并认识到其在日常生活和整个社会中的重要性。)”可知，第一门课程的特点之一是具有互动性。故选C项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。对比三门课程的开设周期，第一、二门课程均标注“Offer Period: Anytime (开设周期：随时可学)”，而第三门课程“Alfabetismo Meditáctico Informacional”标注“Present Offer Period: self-paced between 25 March-30 November 2026(当前开设周期：2026年3月25日至11月30日期间可自主安排学习进度)”，有明确的固定时间范围，这是其独特之处。故选A项。 B篇：人与社会——跨文化沟通与文化传承 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲的是作者作为第一代中国移民的女儿，在成长中一度疏离中国文化，后来通过教孩子普通话、借助中文媒体和传统节日，使语言成为连接文化与代际的桥梁。 第24题.C 细节理解。解析：根据第一段“as I grew older, the Chinese side faded away”和“I didn’t feel connected to the culture”可知，作者小时候虽然接受红包、吃月饼，但逐渐对中国文化失去了归属感。故选C。 第25题.D 细节理解。解析：根据第三段“the ready availability of Chinese language media—from books to television shows to music—made things much easier”可知，作者主要利用中文语言媒体来教孩子普通话。故选D。 第26题.B 推理判断。解析：作者在孩子出生前就决定教他们普通话，并持续利用中文媒体、图书馆故事、传统节日等方式坚持文化传承，说明她非常投入、尽心尽力。故选B。 第27题.D 推理判断。解析：末段将月亮与语言类比，指出语言影响文化历史，并连接未来与过去世代；儿子为祖父背诵李白诗句、祖父听后欣喜，也说明语言能够沟通代际、传承文化。故选D。 C篇：人与社会——科学与技术 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲的是在AI能快速生成建筑图像的背景下，建筑设计的真正价值不在于技术本身，而在于哲学思考、价值判断以及对人、社区、时间和可持续性的人文关怀。 第28题.C 细节理解。解析：第二段指出“建筑不只是结构”，它还反映人类如何理解生活，并从个人情感、社区关系、历史保存与变化需求等层面展开，说明建筑具有哲学和人文意义。该段是从哲学视角呈现建筑。故选C。 第29题.A 细节理解。解析：哥伦比亚图书馆把阅览室而非办公室安排在最明亮、最高的空间，这一设计象征平等与关怀，说明好的设计具有尊重、包容、安全等品质，核心是以人为本。故选A。 第30题.B 词义猜测。解析：画线词fathom所在句意为“AI无法____我们生活中最深层的信念”。结合前文“AI cannot make value judgments”“cannot judge for us what kind of life is worth living”，可知fathom应表示“理解、领悟”。故选B。 第31题.D 推理判断。解析：最后一段指出，AI时代建筑师从重复性绘图中解放出来后，应更深入地思考人性、社区和可持续性；未来伟大的设计产生于技术与哲学相遇之处，而不是一方取代另一方。因此建筑师应给设计注入灵魂和意义。故选D。 D篇：人与自然——环境保护 本文是一篇科普说明文。文章主要讲的是新研究发现土壤氮充足可使热带森林在砍伐后恢复速度提高一倍，并建议通过种植豆科固氮树等可持续方式促进森林恢复、增强碳汇。 第32题.B 细节理解。解析：第二段主要介绍研究如何开展：选取76块林地、监测长达20年、按林龄和大小差异跟踪树木生长与死亡，并设置氮、磷、两者都有和都没有等不同养分处理。这是在解释实验过程与步骤，故选B。 第33题.A 细节理解。解析：原文指出“nitrogen-rich forests recovered twice as fast as nitrogen-lacking ones”，即富氮森林的恢复速度是缺氮森林的两倍，说明氮能使森林恢复速度加倍。故选A。 第34题.C 推理判断。解析：研究者不建议直接给森林施氮肥，而是建议种植豆科树木，利用其根部固氮细菌自然给森林施肥；或选择因空气污染已有充足氮的地区恢复森林。这体现的是借助自然生态过程的解决方案。故选C。 第35题.A 主旨大意。解析：全文围绕新研究展开，核心是土壤氮显著影响热带森林砍伐后的恢复速度，并据此提出可持续管理建议。故选A。 【答案】36. F 37. G 38. E 39. C 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了心不在焉（mind-drifting）在学习过程中的积极作用，包括给大脑额外时间、引发远程联想、在内心测试规则等，同时也回应了一些对心不在焉会浪费时间的批评。 【36题详解】 根据上文“More importantly, it can connect them in fresh ways. This process, called inferential learning, lets us go beyond the given facts and reach new conclusions.(更重要的是，它能以全新的方式将它们联系起来。这个过程被称为推理学习，它让我们超越既定事实，得出新的结论)” 可知，此处强调心不在焉在学习过程中的作用，F选项“事实证明，心不在焉在这项工作中是一个默默的帮手” 符合语境，其中 “this work” 指代前文的推理学习。故选F。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Mind-drifting gives the brain extra time. Suppose a student hears that plants bend toward light.(心不在焉给大脑额外的时间。假设一个学生听到植物向光弯曲)” 以及下文 “Neurons repeat the pattern without effort.(神经元会不费力气地重复这个模式)” 可知，此处应描述学生在听到这个知识后心不在焉时大脑的状态，G 选项 “当她的眼睛望向窗外时，她的大脑仍在想着这个想法” 符合语境，体现了心不在焉时大脑对知识的持续思考，故选G。 【38题详解】 根据上文 “From this mix she may infer that light direction, not just sunlight itself, guides plant growth.(从这种融合中，她可能会推断出，引导植物生长的不仅仅是阳光本身，还有光的方向)” 可知，此处应阐述这个推断的意义，E 选项 “这个飞跃虽小，但却是她自己构建的新知识” 符合语境，故选E。 【39题详解】 根据上文“While the teacher moves to the next topic, the student’s thoughts may run a quick test: “If the light comes from below, will the stem still bend up?”(当老师进入下一个话题时，学生的思绪可能会快速进行一个测试：“如果光从下面来，茎还会向上弯曲吗？”)”以及下文“These quiet experiments sharpen understanding and prepare the learner for real tests later.(这些无声的思考实验深化了理解，为学习者日后应对真实考验做好准备)” 可知，此处应描述学生在内心进行这个测试的特点，C 选项 “不需要实验室；大脑运行着一个无声的模型” 符合语境，呼应下文，故选C。 【40题详解】 根据下文“They forget that controlled wandering is not the same as chaos.(他们忘记了有控制的走神和混乱是不一样的)” 可知，此处应是有人对心不在焉提出了负面看法，A 选项 “批评者可能会说分心浪费时间” 符合语境，引出后文对这种看法的回应，故选A。 完形填空：人与社会——文学、艺术与体育 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲的是Academy篮球队在因记分失误误夺冠军后，主动承认错误并归还奖牌，最终Apache被正式认定为冠军，彰显诚信与体育精神。 第41题.A 动词辨析。解析：A.contacted联系；B.followed跟随；C.praised表扬；D.welcomed欢迎。教练Brendan King周末从不联系球员，却突然催促他们回体育馆，说明情况反常。故选A。 第42题.D 形容词辨析。解析：A.relaxed放松的；B.awkward尴尬的；C.excited兴奋的；D.nervous紧张的。球员们前一晚刚夺冠，却被教练突然叫回体育馆，而且他们“knew something was wrong”，说明他们不知道发生了什么，内心应是紧张不安的。nervous最符合语境，故选D。 第43题.B 动词辨析。解析：A.exchanged交换；B.broke公布/打破；C.heard听说；D.gathered聚集/收集。break the news为固定搭配，意为公布消息，符合教练宣布坏消息的语境。故选B。 第44题.C 副词辨析。解析：A.informally非正式地；B.regularly定期地；C.mistakenly错误地；D.automatically自动地。由于技术问题，一次投篮被错误记录，mistakenly符合语境。故选C。 第45题.D 习语辨析。解析：A.cold冷的；B.huge巨大的；C.white白色的；D.bitter苦的。a bitter pill to swallow为习语，意为不得不吞下的苦果，表示难以接受的事实。故选D。 第46题.B 动词辨析。解析：A.managed设法；B.decided决定；C.hesitated犹豫；D.struggled挣扎。经过辩论，全队决定做正确的事，decide to do sth表示决定做某事。故选B。 第47题.C 形容词辨析。解析：A.balanced平衡的；B.casual随意的；C.intense激烈的；D.flexible灵活的。比分接近，最后一节Apache领先14分，Academy又连续追分，说明比赛紧张激烈。故选C。 第48题.D 动词搭配。解析：A.learned学会；B.tended倾向于；C.pretended假装；D.refused拒绝。refuse to give up意为拒绝放弃，符合Academy球员连续命中、奋力追分的语境。故选D。 第49题.B 动词辨析。解析：A.sweated出汗；B.erupted爆发/沸腾；C.nodded点头；D.escaped逃跑。投中压哨三分后，球员们爆发庆祝，erupted符合语境。故选B。 第50题.C 动词辨析。解析：A.relieved缓解/宽慰；B.forgotten忘记；C.confirmed证实；D.hidden隐藏。King重新计算每一分后，他担心的事被证实：记分板有误。confirmed符合语境。故选C。 第51题.D 名词短语辨析。解析：A.assumption假设；B.examination检查；C.appointment约会/任命；D.exception例外。make an exception意为破例，符合官方改变规则、归还奖牌的语境。故选D。 第52题.C 名词辨析。解析：A.leaders领导者；B.hosts主办方；C.champions冠军；D.competitors竞争者。官方正式承认Apache为冠军，champions符合语境。故选C。 第53题.B 名词辨析。解析：A.gift礼物；B.gesture姿态/举动；C.strategy策略；D.score分数。Apache教练说这一举动比冠军头衔更重要，gesture符合语境。故选B。 第54题.A 介词短语辨析。解析：A.at all costs不惜一切代价；B.behind the wheels在车轮后/掌控中；C.under the spotlight在聚光灯下；D.on the horizon即将来临。很多人常常关注不惜一切代价获胜，at all costs符合语境。故选A。 第55题.A 名词辨析。解析：A.victory胜利；B.ambition野心；C.responsibility责任；D.reputation名声。Academy的选择表明，真正的胜利关乎正直和体育精神，victory符合语境。故选A。 语法填空：人与社会——历史、社会与文化 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是点心作为中国传统食物，与饮茶传统紧密相连，历经从茶楼小吃到精致点心的演变，并在传统与创新中走向全球，但其核心仍是共享时光的中国传统。 第56题.a 冠词。解析：此处“a celebrated traditional Chinese food”作“Dim sum”的同位语，表示“一种著名的中国传统食物”。food在此表示“一种食物”，可数且celebrated以辅音音素开头，故用不定冠词 a。 第57题.tasty 词性转换（动词变形容词）。解析：空格处修饰名词snacks，需要用形容词。taste的形容词形式为tasty，意为“美味的”，符合“享受美味小吃”的语境。 第58题.is meant 固定搭配、被动语态和主谓一致。解析：be meant to do表示“旨在做某事、被设计用来做某事”。主语the small, delicate dish为单数，且全文以一般现在时为主，故填is meant。 第59题.where 定语从句（关系副词）。解析：先行词为the teahouses of southern China，表示地点；从句“travelers came for a cup of tea“结构完整，缺地点状语，因此用关系副词where，相当于in which。 第60题.Served 非谓语动词（过去分词作状语）。解析：dim sum与serve之间是被动关系，表示“点心被以小份供应”，故用过去分词Served，首字母大写。相当于As it was served in small portions。 第61题.presentation 词性转换（动词变名词）。解析：空格处与shape并列，作介词in的宾语，需用名词。present的名词形式为presentation，意为“呈现、展示、摆盘”。 第62题.increasingly 词性转换（动词变副词）。解析：空格处修饰形容词delicate，需用副词。increasing变为increasingly，意为“越来越……”，构成increasingly delicate，表示“越来越精致”。 第63题.allows 时态和主谓一致。解析：主语This creative tension为单数，且文章陈述一般事实，用一般现在时，故谓语用第三人称单数allows。allow...to do 表示“允许/使……能够做”。 第64题.without 介词。解析：句意为“这种传统与创新之间的创造性张力使点心能够适应不同时代和地区，而没有失去其本质特征”。losing为动名词，前面需用介词without，表示“没有失去”。 第65题.giving 非谓语动词（现在分词作结果状语）。解析：主语Local chefs与give之间是主动关系，且“调整食谱以适应当地口味”带来了“融合点心”这一结果，故用现在分词giving作结果状语。give rise to 意为“导致、产生”。 【答案】Dear Mr. Smith, I’m writing to share my creative design for the Future Classroom Experience Zone to be held next month. Equipped with holographic screens, the classroom allows teachers to display 3D models, making abstract knowledge vivid.

Voice-controlled devices also enable quick interaction without raising hands. This design, combining high technology with flexible communication, eases students’ learning pressure and improves class efficiency. It also encourages active participation rather than passive listening. I sincerely hope my idea can be adopted. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生以李华的身份，围绕校园科技节未来教室设计写一封邮件，包含教室场景设计、设计优势两大要点。 【详解】1.词汇积累 举办：hold → host 展示：display → demonstrate 减轻：ease → alleviate 效率：efficiency → productivity 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：I’m writing to share my creative design for the Future Classroom Experience Zone to be held next month. 拓展句：Since our school will hold the Future Classroom Experience Zone next month, I’m writing to share my creative design for it. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Equipped with holographic screens, the classroom allows teachers to display 3D models, making abstract knowledge vivid.(运用了过去分词短语作状语和现在分词短语作结果状语) 【高分句型2】Instead of fixed seats, movable desks are arranged freely, where students can discuss group projects instantly with digital tablets linked to the teacher’s platform.(运用了where引导的非限制性定语从句和过去分词短语作后置定语) 【答案】 Instead, she gestured toward the worn copy of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. She pulled a chair closer and asked him to tell her what struck him about the story. Hesitant at first, Leo spoke about how he couldn’t focus on the content and make the connections. Mrs. Evans listened without interrupting. When he finished, she smiled. “The connection,” she said, “is the heart of your essay. You just didn’t know you had it.” That afternoon, they agreed to meet twice a week — she would help him with writing; he would keep her tablet from dying. A month later, Leo stood nervously outside Mrs. Evans’s door, holding his A essay. When Mrs. Evans opened the door, he held out the paper. “I couldn’t have done it without you.” She took the essay, her eyes shining as she read the first paragraph. “You found your own voice,” she said softly. Just then, Emma was calling. Leo saw her eagerness. He smiled and pointed toward the screen. “Go on. I’ll fix any bugs later.” As mother and daughter laughed across continents, Leo realized that some connections, like the one he now shared with Mrs. Evans, needed no update to stay strong. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述退休图书管理员Evans太太因平板故障无法与远在澳洲的女儿视频，向邻居高中生Leo求助。Leo修好平板，却因写不好《汤姆·索亚历险记》读后感而苦恼。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句‌可知，第一段可描写Evans太太主动提出帮助Leo写作文，倾听他对小说的想法，并鼓励他找到自己的声音，两人达成互助约定。 ②由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写Leo拿着A等级作文来感谢Evans太太，此时Emma正好打来视频电话，Leo让Evans太太先接电话，两人的友谊在跨代互助中愈发深厚。 2. 续写线索：手指旧书——倾听想法——给予鼓励——达成约定——一月后携作文来访——感谢“老师”——视频来电——友谊升华 3. 词汇激活： 行为类： ①专注于：focus on/concentrate on ②插嘴：interrupt/cut in 情绪类： ①犹豫的：hesitant/tentative ②温柔地：softly/tenderly 【点睛】[高分句型1] Hesitant at first, Leo spoke about how he couldn’t focus on the content and make the connections. (运用了形容词短语作状语和how引导的宾语从句) [高分句型2] As mother and daughter laughed across continents, Leo realized that some connections, like the one he now shared with Mrs. Evans, needed no update to stay strong.

M: Probably not, but I'll take a break then and carry on afterward. Sorry, I've been too busy all weekend preparing for the presentation to help much around the house. Text 2（第2小题） M: How much is this shirt? W: It's $50, but there's a 20% discount today and you need to pay an extra $5 for shipping. M: Okay, I'll take it. Text 3（第3小题） M: Hear that wind and rain. Good thing I skipped washing the car yesterday. W: Yesterday's weather was great for outdoor activities, and thankfully the forecast says it'll be back to the same tomorrow. Text 4（第4小题） M: Come on, the quiz show you like is about to start. W: Oh, brilliant. M: The football match is on afterward, so this is going to be a great day. W: Perfect. I'll make some popcorn and we can enjoy both together. Text 5（第5小题） W: I can't wait to replace this broken carpet. Our rabbits have chewed parts of it. M: That's why we need wooden flooring. W: Rabbits chew wood, too. How about we buy them some toys to chew? Section 2（Text 6Text10） Text 6（第6、7小题） M: Have you seen this in the newspaper? W: It's not another economic news, is it? You know, that sort of thing doesn't interest me. M: No, it's not that. It's a huge photo of a cup of coffee with the logo of that new coffee bar in town. It's quite an eyecatcher. W: We should check it out and see if it is as good as it looks. M: Well, instead of going there, we can make our own coffee using that new machine I bought. We could sit and read the sports pages at no extra cost. W: Good idea. Text 7（第8、9小题） M: I've really enjoyed my work here over the last three weeks. It's given me a real insight into my future work. W: Has it inspired you to pursue a career in law? M: It's certainly given me food for thought. Before coming here, I had my heart set on designing buildings as it's what my dad does. And it's something I've always been interested in since I was a kid. But working with you has truly made me reconsider. W: Do both your parents design buildings? M: No, my mom works in medicine. W: I see. But studying law takes a lot of hard work. M: Oh, I don't mind it. No pains, no gains. Text 8（第1013小题） M: When do we serve the meal? W: Right after the ceremony. M: Not quite. The ceremony is at noon. And by 12:30 p.m., the bride and groom will take pictures with guests in the gardens. Then the wedding party will move to the main reception room for drinks around 1:15 p.m. That's where you'll be needed first. M: So I'll be working in different rooms. W: Yes. After the drinks, the guests will make their way to the dining hall. We'll serve them the meal there at 2 p.m. M: Do the guests need to be in the hall before that? W: Yes, we'll invite them to sit down 15 minutes beforehand. Most guests are having the beef meal, but a few asked for the vegetarian option. I've marked their choices on the seating arrangements I've given you, but double check with each guest before serving, as some may have changed their minds. Oh, look, the first guests are arriving. Text 9（第1417小题） M: According to the villagers, if we keep quiet and stick to this path, there's a small chance we'll see a rare animal. W: What is it? M: It's in the same family as the domestic cat, but it's a lot bigger than the cat people have as a pet. They're about a meter long and half a meter in height. Having said that, their average weight is nothing compared to that of a lion. W: Are there a lot of them around here? M: In 2005, their numbers fell to around 100. Despite being one of the most threatened wild cat species, conservation efforts have helped their population grow across parts of Iberia. Iberia, it refers to the region that includes Spain, Portugal, Andorra, the Britishowned island of Gibraltar and a tiny part of southern France. This rare animal once lived throughout these areas, but now it is found only in parts of Spain and Portugal. W: It's very sad, but at least things have improved. M: That's encouraging. I believe future generations will still be able to witness these beautiful animals. Text 10（第1820小题） M: I'm so happy to be here in Beijing with you all today. My name is Dean and I'm a music production project leader at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts in England. As a music enthusiast, I have been blown away by the talent here in Beijing and would like to invite you to spend a few months in Liverpool. As a part of a student exchange program, the idea is that you partner a student from England, you spend time with them in Liverpool, and then they come and visit you in Beijing. For both groups of students, it'll be a great chance to improve your cultural understanding and enrich your musical experience. A little bit of surprising history for you. The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts was founded by a famous singer in 1996. His fellow band member once said life is what happens when you're busy making other plans. His saying reminds us that life is about enjoying the journey. With that in mind, what are you waiting for? Why not allow Liverpool to be part of your musical journey? 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三年级上期中考试模拟试题 英语试题 本试卷满分150分，考试用时150分钟。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 注意，回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 (共5小题；每小题1. 5分，满分 7. 5 分) 听下面5 段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有 5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。 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) 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. C Today, with the help of AI tools, anyone can instantly generate impressive architectural images. Yet this raises a serious question for architects: if technology lowers the technical barrier, what remains the true value of design? The answer, many experts believe, lies in deeper philosophical（哲学的）thinking. Architecture is not only about structure. It also reflects how humans understand life. This understanding begins with the individual-how a building can shape people’s emotions. It then extends to the community-whether a neighborhood design brings people together or drives them apart. Ultimately, it touches upon time itself-how to balance the preservation of historical identity with the need for change. AI can copy thousands of design styles, but it cannot make value judgments. It doesn’t know why some designs are good in a moral or human sense. For instance, a library in Colombia places its reading rooms, not offices, in the brightest and highest spaces-a design choice symbolizing equality and care. As scholar Nayef Al-Rodhan points out, “Good design should possess valuable qualities, including respect, inclusion, and safety, which cannot be left to AI to handle.” In the future, the best architects may not be those who master AI tools, but those who comprehend philosophical reflection. Saudi Arabia’s project “The Line” is a case in point. Designed to let residents live in harmony with nature, the city spans 170 kilometres in length yet is only 200 metres wide, with no cars, no streets, and a transit system that reaches any destination within five minutes. Whether The Line succeeds or fails, it reminds us that although technology can help us design the city, it cannot judge for us what kind of life is worth living, and AI can’t fathom the deepest beliefs we have for our lives. Freed from repetitive drafting work, architects in the age of AI must think more deeply about humanity, community, and sustainability. The great designs of the future will emerge where technology meets philosophy, not where one replaces the other. 28. What is the main function of paragraph 2 in the passage? A. To introduce examples of architecture. B. To compare architecture with philosophy. C. To present architecture from a philosophical view. D. To explain how AI will change future construction. 29. What can we learn from the example of the library in Colombia? A. Great design is human-centered. B. AI can understand public buildings. C. Symbolic meaning should be considered. D. Equality is the core value of modern design. 30. What does the underlined word “fathom” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Decline. B. Understand. C. Recover. D. Measure. 31. According to the passage, what should architects do in the age of AI? A. Shift from drawing to building. B. Employ AI as a powerful tool. C. Prioritize philosophy over function. D. Bring soul and meaning to designs. D Newly published research finds that tropical forests can recover up to twice as fast after deforestation with sufficient soil nitrogen (氮). Scientists from the University of Leeds launched the largest and longest experiment ever designed to examine how nutrients affect forest regrowth in tropical areas cleared for activities such as logging and agriculture. They selected 76 forest plots across Central America and monitored them for up to 20 years. Each site differed in age and size, allowing the team to track tree growth and death during forest recovery. Different nutrient treatments were applied to test nutrient roles. Some were given nitrogen fertiliser, some phosphorus（磷）, some both, and others none. The results showed that the levels of nutrients in the soil strongly influence tropical forest regrowth speed:nitrogen-rich forests recovered twice as fast as nitrogen-lacking ones, while phosphorus alone had no such effect. The findings were published on January 13 in the journal Nature Communications. Lead author Wenguang Tang said, “Our study is inspiring because it suggests there are ways we can boost the storage of greenhouse gases through reforestation by managing the nutrients available to trees.” The research team used nitrogen fertiliser for the purposes of the experiment but does not advocate for fertilising forests, as that would have negative consequences, including polluting rivers and lakes and making the soil too weak for trees to stay healthy. Instead, the team suggests more sustainable alternatives. Forest managers could plant trees from the bean family, which host nitrogen-fixing bacteria in their root systems that can naturally fertilise the forest. Another option is restoring forests in areas that already have sufficient nitrogen due to the effects of air pollution. Tropical forests are seen as vital global carbon sinks which slow climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide and storing it in trees. If young tropical forests worldwide lack nitrogen, they may fail to store about 0.69 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide each year-roughly equal to two years of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas release in the U. K. 32. How is paragraph 2 developed? A. By making comparison. B. By explaining the process. C. By clarifying the principles. D. By analyzing cause and effect. 33. What did the experiment find about forest regrowth? A. Nitrogen doubles the recovery speed. B. Mixed nutrients work the best among all. C. Phosphorus can aid forest regrowth indirectly. D. Forests boost the storage of greenhouse gases. 34. What can be inferred from the researchers’ recommendation? A. Fertilisers should be made full use of. B. Using nitrogen leads to harmful side effects. C. People should turn to nature-based solutions. D. Bean trees need to be planted in polluted areas. 35. What is the best title of the text? A. Nitrogen: Key to Forest Regrowth B. Nitrogen: Impact on Climate Change C. Tropical Forests: Recovering Soon D. Tropical Forests: Global Carbon Sinks 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many people think a good learner must keep steady focus. Yet new studies show the opposite. When the mind gently drifts, it can still absorb facts. More importantly, it can connect them in fresh ways. This process, called inferential learning, lets us go beyond the given facts and reach new conclusions. ___36___ Mind-drifting gives the brain extra time. Suppose a student hears that plants bend toward light. ___37___ Neurons repeat the pattern without effort. This hidden rehearsal strengthens memory traces and keeps the door open for later links. Drifting invites remote associations. During a break, the same student may recall her kitchen window, where the basil plant leans each morning. Two scenes—classroom and kitchen—meet in her mind. From this mix she may infer that light direction, not just sunlight itself, guides plant growth. ___38___ However, focused study rarely allows such loose pairing of places and times. A wandering mind tests rules in private. While the teacher moves to the next topic, the student's thoughts may run a quick test: "If the light comes from below, will the stem still bend up?" ___39__ These quiet experiments sharpen understanding and prepare the learner for real tests later. ___40___ They forget that controlled wandering is not the same as chaos. Learners can set soft borders: after twenty minutes of hard work, they allow five minutes of gentle drift. In this window, the mind roams but stays near the topic. The result is deeper insight without lost time. A. Critics may say distraction wastes time. B. Mind-wandering breaks cognitive barriers. C. No lab is needed; the brain runs a silent model. D. This random access generates innovative ideas. E. The leap is small, but it is new knowledge built on her own. F. A wandering mind, it turns out, is a quiet helper in this work. G. While her eyes look out of the window, her brain keeps the idea alive. 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。 The players on the Academy basketball team knew something was wrong.

The digital world, with its endless notifications and flashing screens, felt like a foreign language she had no desire to learn. Her life changed when her only daughter, Emma, moved to Australia for work. Video calls became their only bridge, yet Mrs. Evans’s ancient tablet, a gift from years ago, was a source of constant discouragements — frozen screens, sudden silences, and that unwelcome low battery indicator. Across the street lived Leo, a high school student known for his tech skills and quiet behavior. He often saw Mrs. Evans struggling on her door, her face fixed with confusion as she tapped uselessly on the silent device. One rainy afternoon, her call with Emma cut off suddenly. In a moment of uncharacteristic boldness, Mrs. Evans walked across the street and knocked on Leo’s door. “I’m sorry to bother you,” she said, holding out the tablet like a wounded bird. “It’s my daughter... I can’t see her.” Leo, who was more accustomed to fixing code than managing relationships with neighbors, invited her in. Within minutes, he had checked the problem — an outdated operating system and an overflowing with digital mess. As he worked, Mrs. Evans noticed the textbooks on his desk, all advanced mathematics and physics, but also a single, well-worn copy of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer with a bookmark stuck halfway. “You’re reading that for school?” she asked, her librarian instincts (直觉) kicking in. Leo shrugged (耸肩), and his face turned a little red. “It’s not for school. I just... like it. But the essays we have to write about it...” He stopped talking, and you could easily see he was upset. “I can make an app, but I can’t write what the teacher wants. It feels like a different kind of problem I just can’t solve.” Leo finished the update and handed back the tablet, but Mrs. Evans did not reach for it immediately. 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。 Instead, she gestured toward the worn copy of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A month later, Leo stood nervously outside Mrs. Evans’s door, holding his A essay. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $英语听力模拟。试题第一节。听下面五段录音，每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。I'm going to make dinner at six thirty.
