(这座堡垒见证了 1826 年秘鲁战胜西班牙取得最终胜利，如今每日对外开放，还提供有导游讲解服务。)”可知，皇家费利佩堡垒每日开放并提供导游服务，游客可以在导游带领下游览。 【22题详解】 答案B细节理解题。根据Cape York Peninsula, Australia部分中“Covering over 45,000 square miles of rainforest and wetlands, Australia’s northernmost region features 20,000-year-old rock art created by Indigenous Australians, one of the world’s oldest continuous civilizations. (澳大利亚最北端地区覆盖超过 45000 平方英里的雨林与湿地，这里拥有澳大利亚原住民创作的、距今两万年历史的岩石艺术；原住民文明也是世界上最古老的未曾中断的文明之一。)”可知，约克角半岛以有两万年历史的古老岩画艺术而闻名。 【23题详解】 答案D细节理解题。根据Gcwihaba Caves, Botswana部分最后一句“The caves are best visited in the dry season.(这些洞穴最好在旱季游览。)”可知，参观格维哈巴洞穴的特殊之处在于建议在旱季前往，此时条件最佳。 B篇【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在患有心理疾病期间独自奋战，痊愈后一直坚持赞美他人，尤其是女性和女孩的故事。 【24题详解】 答案D推理判断题。根据第一段中“Her face registered surprise for a second, and then she smiled.(她的脸上露出惊讶的神色，然后她笑了)”和“Her final steps to her car seemed lighter (她走向车的最后几步似乎轻快了一些)”可知，这位女士先是惊讶，后来脚步变得轻快。由此可推知，她在听到作者的赞美后很开心。故选D。 【25题详解】 答案A 25．推理判断题。根据第二段中“With no cheerleaders in my court, I fought this battle alone. I am proud of the progress I have made thus far. There are times when I thought, what if I had had someone to hold me and say, “Susan, I believe in you. You can do this, and I’ll be there every step of the way.” I wonder how much sooner I would have recovered. I’ll never know. (没有啦啦队员在我的场上，我独自战斗。我为我迄今取得的进步感到自豪。有时候我想，如果当时有人抱着我说：“苏珊，我相信你。”你可以做到的，我会全程陪伴你。”我不知道我要多久才能恢复过来。我永远不会知道)”和第三段中“So I have made it a point in recent years to praise people, especially women and girls.(因此，近年来，我一直强调要赞美别人，尤其是女性和女孩)”可知，虽然作者为自己独自完成战斗，取得进步感到自豪，但她觉得如果当时有人鼓励她，她可以更快地恢复，因此她后来坚持赞美别人。由此可知，作者的经历让她选择成为一名生活中的“啦啦队员”。故选A。 【26题详解】 答案C细节理解题。根据第三段中“Now, when I compliment someone and she denies, I say to her, “Just say thank you.” Most women are relieved that they don’t have to deny the compliment; they can accept the praise without guilt.(现在，当我赞美一个人而她否认时，我对她说：‘说声谢谢就行了。’大多数女性都松了一口气，因为她们不必否认这些赞美；她们可以毫无内疚地接受赞美)”可知，在作者赞美他人时，她希望她们能毫无内疚地接受赞美。故选C。 【27题详解】 答案B．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第三段中“So I have made it a point in recent years to praise people, especially women and girls. Instead of just thinking that someone looks nice or did a great job, I say it out loud.(因此，近年来，我一直强调要赞美别人，尤其是女性和女孩。我不会仅仅认为某人看起来很漂亮或工作做得很好，而是大声说出来)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者在患有心理疾病期间独自奋战，痊愈后她意识到赞美的重要性，一直坚持赞美他人，尤其是女性和女孩。由此可推知，作者是一个关爱他人的人。故选B。 C篇【答案】28. B 29.C 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】很多老年人使用智能手机有困难。他们很难网购、缴费或者和家人视频通话。为了解决这个问题，一个团队开发了一款简易人工智能应用，名叫 EasyLink。 【28题详解】 答案：B 解析： 定位原文第一段：Many old people have trouble using smartphones. ... To solve this problem, a team designed a simple AI app called EasyLink. have trouble doing = have difficulty doing，意思是老年人使用智能手机存在困难，这就是开发 EasyLink 想要解决的问题。A 年轻人、C 家人沟通、D 社区公共服务，原文均未提及。 【29题详解】 答案：C 解析： 定位原文第二段：It can turn voice into text and text into voice. turn voice into text and text into voice = change voice and text into each other（语音和文字互相转换）。 A 错：普通 app 才有很多小按钮；B 文章没有提到翻译多国语言；D 帮孩子写作业，文中没有。 【30题详解】 答案：A 解析： 定位第三段：It helps old people book hospital tickets, check bus times and contact their children quickly. 原文直接提到可以预约挂号。 B 实体店购物（原文是 online 网上购物，不是实体店）；C 打扫房间、D 训练口语，文中没有。 【31题详解】 答案：B 解析： 主旨题。全文围绕一款专门给老年人设计的 AI 应用 EasyLink 展开，介绍它的特点、功能、测试情况。 A：文章没有讲老人讨厌手机的原因；C 只是结尾一句细节，不是全文主旨；D 文章不是讲 “如何教老人用手机”。 D D篇【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了人们习惯刷手机逃避独处思考的现状，通过多项研究证明，放空走神、思绪漫游并非浪费时间，反而能够巩固所学知识、解决难题、增进情感联结，拥有诸多隐藏益处。 【32题详解】 答案C细节理解题。根据原文第二段“Social psychology professor Erin Westgate compares the common mindless scrolling to “brain candy” which offers temporary pleasure, yet is of little meaning.(社会心理学教授Erin Westgate将常见的无意识刷手机行为比作“大脑糖果”，它只能带来短暂的愉悦，却毫无实质意义。)”可知，无意识刷手机即时取悦大脑但缺乏内涵，因此被比作“大脑糖果”。 【33题详解】 答案B推理判断题。根据原文第三段“Many people fear boredom, but this fear is often overstated. In a 2022 study conducted by Murayama, university students were asked to sit alone for 20 minutes with nothing to do but think. Though they had expected the wait to be unbearable, most ended up enjoying it far more than predicted (许多人惧怕无聊，但这种恐惧往往被夸大了。Murayama开展了一项2022年的研究，实验要求大学生独自静坐20分钟，全程只能放空思考。尽管他们原本以为这段煎熬的时光难以忍受，但绝大多数人最后发现，独处思考远比自己预想的要愉悦得多)”可知，作者列举2022年的研究，是为了证明人们对无聊、放空独处的恐惧是言过其实的。 【34题详解】 答案A推理判断题。根据原文第五段“Even when people are not actively thinking, their brains remain active in a so-called default mode, allowing ideas to connect in new ways.(即使人们没有主动思考，大脑仍会在所谓的默认模式下保持活跃，让想法以全新的方式产生联结。)”可知，非专注的放空思考能够激发新思路、产生新想法。 【35题详解】 答案C主旨大意题。根据原文第一段“But studies suggest that if you resist that urge and let your mind wander instead, you may gain some surprising benefits.(但多项研究表明，如果你克制住刷手机的冲动，转而放空思绪、任由大脑自由漫游，你或许能收获一些意想不到的益处。)”并通读全文可知，文章层层阐述思绪漫游、放空走神在学习记忆、解决问题、社交情绪等方面的多重积极作用，核心是挖掘并介绍大脑放空思考的强大力量；因此最佳标题为“解锁思绪漫游的力量”。 七选五【答案】36．C 37．D 38．G 39．E 40．F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了让人更快乐、过上更有意义的生活的方法。 【36题详解】 答案C．根据空处后一句“So getting 7-9 hours of good sleep each night is important for your mood.”（所以每晚7-9小时的良好睡眠对你的心情很重要。）可知，空处与后文之间是因果关系。再根据本段的小标题可知，本段是建议人们吃好睡好，把健康放在首位。因此可推断，空处论述的应是睡眠与健康的关系。结合C项There’s a strong link between depression and poor sleep.（抑郁和睡眠质量差有着密切的联系。）可知，C项与本段话题相符，和下文形成因果关系，符合题意。故选C项。 【37题详解】 答案D．根据本段的内容可知，作者建议巩固和强化自己最亲密可靠的关系，因为改善社交生活是成为一个更快乐的人的最好方法之一。根据空后一句内容“In fact, the quality your relationships are much more important than the quantity.”（事实上，人际关系的质量比数量重要得多。）可知，空处应引出下文人际关系的质量胜过数量的话题。结合D项This doesn’t always mean you need lots of friends to be happy.（这并不总是意味着你需要很多朋友才能快乐。）可知，该选项不仅与本段的关键词吻合，且能承接下文，符合题意。故选D项。 【38题详解】 答案G．根据空后的“Moreover, spending too much time on social media can be especially harmful.”（此外，在社交媒体上花费太多时间尤其有害。）可知，空处与后句在逻辑上是递进关系，共同说明过度使用社交媒体的危害。分析选项可知，G项Excessive screen time can have negative effects on both your physical health and mental health.（看屏幕时间过长会对你的身心健康产生负面影响。）符合此处语境和逻辑关系，上下文紧密连接，符合题意。故选G项。 【39题详解】 答案E．根据空处所在的位置可知，空处应填本段的小标题。根据下文“The happiest people are often people who consider themselves lifelong learners or students of life. Even they’ve finished college and earned a lot of letters behind their names, happy people are continuing to themselves to learn, grow, and improve.”（最幸福的人往往是那些认为自己是终身学习者或生活的学生的人。即使他们已经完成了大学学业，并在他们的名字后面赢得了很多头衔，快乐的人仍在继续自己学习、成长和提高。）可知，本段主要讲述的是最快乐的人往往是那些认为自己是生活的终身学习者或学生的人，即使他们已经完成了大学学业，快乐的人仍然会继续督促自己去学习、成长和提高。由此可推断，本段是建议人们养成终身学习和成长的习惯。E项Devote yourself to lifelong learning and growth.（致力于终身学习和成长。）和该段主旨意思一致，总结该段内容，符合题意。故选E项。 【40题详解】 答案F．空处位于段尾，应是对本段进行总结概括。上文“Flow is a concept coined by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, who describes flow as a state of being “at one” with a task or activity which people should strive to get.(心流是心理学家Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi创造的一个概念，他将心流描述为一种与人们应该努力完成的任务或活动“融为一体”的状态)”说明心理学家认为“心流”是一种人与所做任务或活动“物我合一”的状态，是人们应该努力达到的一种状态。F项Flow activities can make you happier by increasing engagement, fulfillment, and a sense of purpose.（心流活动可以通过增加参与度、满足感和使命感让你更快乐。）符合本段的语境，为上文内容的语意递进，符合题意。故选F项。 完形填空【答案】41.

Personally, I believe using AI for homework is acceptable only when it serves as a learning aid, not a shortcut to avoid thinking. On the positive side, AI can help us understand difficult concepts, generate ideas, or check grammar and logic. For instance, I sometimes use AI to find relevant sources for research or to rephrase sentences for better clarity. This saves time and improves efficiency, allowing us to focus on deeper understanding. However, I’m strongly against directly copying AI-generated answers. Homework is meant to develop our independent thinking, problem-solving skills, and creativity. If we rely on AI too much, we’ll lose the ability to analyze and reason on our own. Moreover, it undermines academic honesty and the value of genuine effort. My suggestion is to set clear boundaries: use AI as a guide, but always complete the work yourself. After all, the real goal of learning is to grow, not just to get the right answers. What’s your take on this? Looking forward to your reply. Yours, Li Hua 第二节 One possible version: Tom had no choice but to turn to his parents for help. He walked slowly to the living room, where his parents were checking emails on their phones. Holding the broken watch in both hands, he whispered, “Mom, Dad… Ling is gone.” His voice trembled. His parents looked up, surprised. “I know you’re busy,” Tom continued, tears welling up, “but Ling was the only one who talked to me every day. She said good morning, helped with my homework, sang to me at night… But she’s not real. I wish it were you.” His words hung in the air, heavier than any silence. His parents froze, their phones sliding onto the sofa. At that moment, both Mom and Dad saw clearly what they had missed. Dad knelt down and pulled Tom into a tight hug, while Mom gently wiped his tears. “We’re so sorry, sweetheart,” she said, her voice breaking. “We thought the watch could replace us, but we were wrong.” Dad added softly, “From now on, I’ll read you stories every night. And we’ll have weekend outings, just the three of us.” That evening, they sat together at the dinner table—no phones, no emails—just laughter and conversation. Tom didn’t need Ling anymore. Because finally, the voices he had always longed for were right beside him. 听力材料 Text 1 决定独立生活 W: Dennis, do you still live with your parents? M: No. I moved out last month.

Actually there’re many other great beaches in Thailand. We don’t have to visit that one. W: You’re right. But I don’t know any other beaches. M: It’s easy. Let’s search for some information on websites and then make a decision. W: Good idea.

Over 100 stone burial chambers, some 5,000 years old, are scattered across the hills, with underground passages once believed to lead to a mythical underworld. The most dramatic is Queen Maeve’s tomb atop Knocknarea Mountain. Both Keshcorran and Carrowkeel are free to visit — just a 10- to 20-minute walk from parking lots. Cape York Peninsula, Australia‌ Covering over 45,000 square miles of rainforest and wetlands, Australia’s northernmost region features 20,000-year-old rock art created by Indigenous Australians, one of the world’s oldest continuous civilizations. The peninsula is home to only 17,000 people — more than half of whom are Indigenous. It begins about 100 miles north of Cairns, where visitors can rent a car or fly to small communities. Real Felipe Fortress, Peru‌ Ten miles west of Lima, this seaside fortress was rebuilt after the 1746 earthquake as a five-sided fort with a moat and a mile-long stone wall. Tourists can explore its 24-acre grounds and two military museums, and enjoy views of the sea where Spanish ships once retreated. The fortress witnessed Peru’s final victory over Spain in 1826 and is open daily, with guided tours available. Gcwihaba Caves, Botswana‌ Burrowed into the Aha Hills near the Namibian border, these six cave systems contain fossils and rock formations over two million years old — possibly the richest in southern Africa. A 630-mile drive from Gaborone requires a four-wheel-drive vehicle. Inside, bats fill dark chambers; outside, visitors may spot rare trees and geckos. The caves are best visited in the dry season. 21. Which site can visitors tour with a guide? A. Sligo Passage Tombs. B. Cape York Peninsula. C. Real Felipe Fortress. D. Gcwihaba Caves. 22. What do we know about Cape York Peninsula? A. It is heavily populated. B. It is known for ancient rock art. C. It is located south of Cairns. D. It has underground passages. 23. What is special about visiting the Gcwihaba Caves? A. Free entry is offered. B. A short walk is needed. C. A sea view is provided. D. A visit in the dry season is recommended. B I opened my car window and called out “Ma’ am! Ma’ am!” The only lady in the parking lot looked around until she saw me. “I just wanted to tell how nice you look today,” I said. “The colors you have on are beautiful on you.” Her face registered surprise for a second, and then she smiled. “Thank you!” she called back. Her final steps to her car seemed lighter, and I smiled to myself. I grew up with very few cheerleaders in my own life. When I was in the middle of fighting a battle for my life, I had been confirmed depression, along with anxiety. It has taken many years and more effort and determination than I thought I was capable of recovering from this illness. With no cheerleaders in my court, I fought this battle alone. I am proud of the progress I have made thus far. There are times when I thought, what if I had had someone to hold me and say, “Susan, I believe in you. You can do this, and I’ll be there every step of the way.” I wonder how much sooner I would have recovered. I’ll never know. So I have made it a point in recent years to praise people, especially women and girls. Instead of just thinking that someone looks nice or did a great job, I say it out loud. It doesn’t take long, and it’s easy. So, I wonder, why don’t more people do this? As women, we have learned from our role models to be quiet. We downplay our own achievements even when we do receive a rare compliment. Now, when I compliment someone and she denies, I say to her, “Just say thank you.” Most women are relieved that they don’t have to deny the compliment; they can accept the praise without guilt. Cheerleading doesn’t require any skills. It only takes a few seconds, although you do have to remind yourself to do it. Eventually, it becomes a habit. 24．How did the lady feel after hearing the author’s praise? A．Relaxed. B．Anxious. C．Guilty. D．Delighted. 25．What made the author become a cheerleader? A．Her experience. B．Her habit. C．Her personality. D．Her ambition. 26．What does the author hope when she praises people? A．She can be rewarded. B．She can be appreciated. C．They can accept the praise. D．They can praise her in return. 27．Which of the following best describes the author? A．Intelligent. B．Caring. C．Cautious. D．Honest. C Many old people have trouble using smartphones. They find it hard to shop online, pay bills or chat with family through video calls. To solve this problem, a team designed a simple AI app called EasyLink. Different from common apps with many small buttons, EasyLink has big icons（图标）and clear words. It can turn voice into text and text into voice. If the old users have questions, they can speak to the AI directly instead of reading long instructions. The app also offers useful daily services. It helps old people book hospital tickets, check bus times and contact their children quickly. What’s more, it can send warm reminders for medicine-taking and birthdays. In tests, most seniors learned to use EasyLink within 10 minutes. Even those who never used smartphones before said it was easy to operate. Now the app is being tried in many communities. The designers hope the app can help old people enjoy the convenience brought by modern technology. 28. What problem does EasyLink aim to solve? A. Young people spend too much time on phones. B. Old people have difficulty using smartphones. C. People fail to communicate with their family. D. Communities lack enough public services. 29. What is special about EasyLink? A. It has many small buttons. B. It can translate different languages. C. It can change voice and text into each other. D. It helps kids with their homework. 30. What can EasyLink do for the old? A. Book hospital tickets. B. Help them do shopping in stores. C. Clean their houses. D. Train their speaking skills. 31. What is the main idea of the text? A. The reasons why old people hate smartphones. B. A new AI app for the elderly. C. The convenience of modern technology. D. How to teach old people to use phones. D At any bus stop or in a queue, most people couldn’t help keeping their heads down, scrolling (滚屏) on their phones. But studies suggest that if you resist that urge and let your mind wander instead, you may gain some surprising benefits. We seem to do anything to avoid being alone with our thoughts. Social psychology professor Erin Westgate compares the common mindless scrolling to “brain candy” which offers temporary pleasure, yet is of little meaning. She adds that what is of real meaning is high-order thinking leading to human achievements. Many people fear boredom, but this fear is often overstated. In a 2022 study conducted by Murayama, university students were asked to sit alone for 20 minutes with nothing to do but think. Though they had expected the wait to be unbearable, most ended up enjoying it far more than predicted — finding the empty time just as pleasant as scrolling on a phone would have made it. We badly underestimate how rewarding it can be to simply follow our own thoughts. Mind-wandering is a distinct human gift that boosts learning. In one study, Vékony and her colleagues(2023) found that when learners’ minds wandered, their brains slipped into brief, sleep-like “offline” moments. In these quiet pauses, freshly learned material was strengthened and allowed to take root. Mind-wandering is also key to problem-solving. People often find solutions better after unfocused thinking than intentional effort alone, especially during routine tasks like driving or showering. Even when people are not actively thinking, their brains remain active in a so-called default mode (默认模式), allowing ideas to connect in new ways. It’s especially helpful for complex problems. Daydreaming boosts social and emotional connections too. A study found that imagining pleasant interactions with loved ones made people feel closer. Social daydreaming allows individuals to practice conversations, reflect on past interactions, and prepare for future social situations. Murayama says he now tries to resist checking his phone during short waits and lets his thoughts wander. He finds that simply entertaining oneself mentally can be both satisfying and meaningful. 32. Why is mindless phone scrolling compared to “brain candy”? A. It does harm to the brain over time. B. It replaces higher-order thinking. C. It pleases us instantly but lacks meaning. D. It tastes sweet but is extremely hard to give up. 33. Why does the author mention the 2022 study? A. To reveal the pleasure of daydreaming. B. To show the fear of boredom is exaggerated. C. To state that the fear of boredom is common. D. To highlight the limits of mindless scrolling. 34. What does paragraph 5 imply about the “default mode”? A. Unfocused thinking sparks ideas. B. Intentional effort brings new ideas. C. Complex tasks require active minds. D. Routines involve little brain activity. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Stay Focused in the Age of Smartphones. B. Rediscover the Joy of Being Truly Alone. C. Unlock the Power of Your Wandering Mind. D. Uncover the Hidden Benefits of Social Daydreaming. 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。 While almost everyone wants to learn how to be happier or at least less sad, happiness often isn’t in places we expect to find it.

His parents were always occupied with work. They left home early in the morning and came back late at night. Tom often ate dinner alone and went to bed without a goodnight kiss. For him, there were no family games, no city tours, no weekend outings. One day, Tom's parents brought home a gift—a smart watch. "This watch has a special friend inside,” Mom said with a smile. "Her name is Ling. She can talk to you, answer your questions, and even tell you stories.” A wave of anticipation swept over Tom as he put on the watch and pressed the button. A gentle voice came out, "Hello, Tom! I'm Ling. Nice to meet you!” Tom's eyes lit up. He had never received such an interesting gift before. From that day on, Ling became Tom's closest companion. Every morning, Ling would say, "Good morning, Tom! Have a great day at school!” Whenever Tom encountered difficulties with his homework, Ling would patiently provide thorough explanations. After Tom got into bed, Ling would tell his favorite tales about brave knights and magical lands. Sometimes, when Tom felt scared of the dark, Ling would sing softly to comfort him. To Tom, Ling was more than a voice; she was family. His parents noticed Tom's change. "See? Our little boy seems much happier now,” Dad said one evening. Mom agreed, "The watch really helps,” relieved. They thought their son was no longer lonely. What they didn't know was that sometimes, after Ling had finished her stories, Tom would lie awake in the darkness, listening to the silence that filled the room. He loved Ling, but he couldn't help thinking: if only Mom and Dad were here. One afternoon after school, Tom tripped and fell on the way home. The watch hit a rock with a loud crack. When Tom picked it up, the screen was dark. He pressed the button again and again, but nothing appeared. "Ling? Ling, are you there?” he called desperately. There was no reply. 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。 Tom had no choice but to turn to his parents for help. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At that moment, both Mom and Dad saw clearly what they had missed. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高二10月质量检测 英语试卷 共12页 第 页1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
