B One day, I was walking across campus when I spotted one of my students sitting on a bench, her face turned toward the sun, her eyes closed. I went over and asked if 1 could sit with her. When I asked how she was doing, she explained that her phone had “crashed”, and she was bored. The moment reminded me how deeply we’re shaped by the digital world. Our devices, including computers, smartphones and the never-ending flow of online content, keep feeding us fresh updates, training us to expect continued stimulation(刺激). We’ve become trapped in a cycle of response, as if any pause(停顿) were a problem to be solved. My thoughts wandered back to my childhood—those afternoons spent staring out the window, doing nothing in particular. What felt like aimless boredom was actually a retooling period when my mind needed to reset before it could rediscover joy and invention. Before I knew it, I was building models, climbing trees, or playing instruments. “What are your personal interests?” I asked my student. Her eyes lit up as she showed me her amazing artwork. “Have you ever felt bored while drawing?” I asked. “Never, ” she said, though ideas didn’t always come easily. “Does that annoy you?” “No,” she responded, “because I know that something will eventually pop into my head. When it does, it’s a real rush of satisfaction.” That was it. That was exactly it. She needed to walk in the desert before arriving at the oasis (绿洲). She needed to experience a complete lack of inspiration before it struck her. This must have been what Ralph Waldo Emerson meant when he wrote, “Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds...Improve them and they will become the brightest gems (宝石) in a useful life.” As I left, I told her the truth：“I envy you”—not for her dead device, but for the creative space it had opened. 24. What is the author’s main concern over digital devices? A. They require frequent software updates. B. They cause unease during quiet pauses. C. They often stop working without warning. D. They may replace face-to-face interaction. 25. What role did boredom play in the author’s childhood? A. It gave him time to recharge. B. It taught him to be patient. C. It developed his rich imagination. D. It helped him avoid digital distraction. 26. What can we learn from the student’s response? A. True artists never feel bored. B. Drawing requires special training. C. Satisfaction begins when desire ends. D. Inspiration comes after waiting. 27. What advice is the author implying by saying“I envy you”? A. Use phone less. B. Hold tight to youth. C. Spare time for creativity. D. Search for more treasure. C Scientists in Australia have used Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help them locate an endangered bird called the Plains-wanderer. Data obtained from such technology shows great promise and is expected to boost the recovery of its shrinking(缩减) population. The Plains-wanderer is a small bird that lives in Australia’s grasslands. Not just any grasslands. Plains-wanderers are picky. There can’t be too much grass or too little. Zoos Victoria, the group behind the recent effort to locate Plains-wanderers, says the birds’ number has declined(下降) by over 85% in recent decades as grasslands have been turned into farms and cities. Scientists believe there are now only 250 to 1,000 of the birds left in the wild. Scientists have put the species into a “family” all by itself, since there are no other similar birds. The female Plains-wanderers are larger, and are in charge of protecting the territory while the male birds are smaller and take care of the eggs. To protect these rare birds, scientists first had to learn where they were, so Zoos Victoria worked with Queensland University of Technology on a plan to track the birds. Since Plains-wanderers were hard to spot, the team chose to “listen” for the birds instead. Female Plains-wanderers make an unusual “Ooom” call, and this is the key to tracking them. The researchers set up 35 special recording devices called “song meters” in nine different grassy areas where Plains-wanderers could possibly have been. Song meters recorded all the sounds made in an area over a long period of time. The song meters collected tens of thousands of hours of recordings — far more than humans could analyse. So the researchers fed the recordings to an AI system trained to identify the calls of Plains-wanderers. The AI system discovered Plains-wanderer calls coming from two of the sites. The scientists carried out further manual verification (人工核实) and confirmed the reliability of the AI system’s identification results. Chris Hartnett, who worked with Zoos Victoria, said it was like “striking gold”. The new information will help scientists protect the birds. And the researchers are still “listening” — using song meters and AI to try to locate more of these Goldilocks birds. 28. What mainly leads to the sharp drop of Plains-wanderer numbers? A. Increased natural enemies. B. Destruction of native habitat. C. Shortage of food sources. D. Unstable climate conditions. 29. What can we infer about the AI system used in the research? A. It processes huge recordings efficiently. B. It can replace the need for human field work. C. It is designed to record the birds’ unique calls. D. It can increase the population of Plains-wanderers. 30. What does the underlined phrase imply in Paragraph 4? A. The discovery proves vital to the research. B. The AI equipment brings huge economic gains. C. The Plains-wanderer’s population has unexpectedly recovered. D. The research team has discovered gold mines near the grasslands. 31. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Studies on the crisis facing a unique grassland bird. B. Advanced technology for general wildlife observation. C. Intelligent tools to track and conserve a threatened species. D. Exploration of causes for a grassland bird’s population loss. D Electric vehicles (EVs) could do more for our environment than simply replace gasoline. A new assessment of EV charging strategies, published in the Cell Press journal Joule, suggests EVs could serve as a vast network of mobile batteries — storing excess(过剩的) energy and feeding it back into the grid (电网)when demand increases greatly. This approach eases grid pressure, cuts emissions, and generates profits — but only if paired with timely grid upgrades(升级). “People debate whether EVs are truly green, as much electricity still comes from fossil fuels,” says senior author Ziyou Song of the University of Michigan. “Meanwhile, the grid struggles to absorb irregular and unpredictable renewable energy like solar and wind.” Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology — software enabling charging stations to communicate with the grid — bridges both challenges, allowing EVs to draw power and send it back when needed. This two-way flow contrasts with current one-way charging systems. However, critics(批评家) question the practicality of large-scale launch of V2G and the high upfront(前期的) costs of necessary infrastructure (基础设施). To assess V2G’s real-world potential, researchers examined the San Francisco Bay Area under different grid conditions. They projected EV ownership and solar energy adoption, mapped charging times and locations, and evaluated the cost-effectiveness of proactive(预先的) versus phased(分阶段的) grid upgrades. “I was surprised by the results,” says Song. “The ideal solution is to upgrade the power system as soon as possible.” If upgraded proactively, each charger needs just $0.12 to $0.18 daily to offset(抵消) V2G costs, versus $1.49 to $1.78 for phased updates. Under California’s proposed decarbonization policies, V2G plus proactive upgrades could cut 2030-2045 annual emissions by up to 59,200 metric tons of CO2 equivalent and yield $47.5 million in total carbon incentive (奖励)profits. “First upgrade the power system to support EVs, then scale V2G when needed — that’s the key,” Song emphasizes. Major grid assets like transformers(变压器) last decades, while V2G chargers have limited lifespans(寿命) and can expand with EV adoption. 32. What is the core function of V2G technology? A. To replace fossil fuels with renewable energy. B. To reduce the cost of EV chargers significantly. C. To store excess energy only for EV owners' use. D. To enable two-way energy flow between EVs and the grid. 33. Why do critics doubt the large-scale use of V2G? A. It may damage the existing power grid. B. It fails to cut carbon emissions effectively. C.It cannot adapt to solar and wind energy systems. D.It requires expensive initial infrastructure investment. 34. What is the ideal strategy for promoting V2G according to the study? A. Delaying grid upgrades to save costs. B. Upgrading the power system proactively first. C.Scaling up V2G chargers before grid updates. D.Focusing on carbon incentive profits instead of emissions. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Are EVs the Future of Green Transportation? B. V2G Technology: A New Way to Power Homes C. How Electric Vehicles Could Back Up Our Power System D. Carbon Policies: A Driver for EV and V2G Development 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。 An educated person understands that education is a lifelong journey, not a destination. Being truly educated means more than just having academic qualifications. 36 Such individuals are literate, culturally aware, well-informed, and composed in their demeanor（举止）. First, staying informed about the world is crucial. An educated person follows daily news from a variety of reliable sources at regional, national, and international levels. Reading multiple publications, such as The Guardian or Le Monde, helps provide a balanced view. 37 However, you must always stay critical and not take everything at face value, noticing the biases in different reports. Beyond current affairs, a truly educated person actively appreciates culture. 38 Burying yourself in classic and contemporary literature（当代文学） fosters empathy（共情） by displaying diverse human experiences. Reading foundational philosophy provides tools to ponder （深思）morality and free will. Exploring diverse films, reading criticism, and listening to various musical genres (体裁) all contribute to a rich, cultured perspective. Taking notes while engaging with these works helps you absorb key ideas. 39 An educated person listens carefully, contributes selectively, and does not dominate conversations. Humility（谦逊） is key — avoiding bragging (吹嘘) shows genuine respect for others. When you don’t understand something, asking questions demonstrates a willingness to learn. A calm and level-headed demeanor is also a hallmark; instead of reacting with anger, an educated person responds calmly and seeks to resolve issues constructively. Ultimately, becoming educated is not about showing off what you know, but about demonstrating a continuous willingness to learn. These habits require consistent（始终如一的） effort and genuine curiosity. 40 A. Visiting museums and studying art pieces help develop visual literacy. B. This does not mean that you need to agree with everything you hear. C. Equally important is the ability to interact with others thoughtfully. D. It involves actively and consistently broadening your mind. E. The truly educated person knows learning never ends. F. Besides that, seeking is an important character. G. Listening to news radio is also valuable. 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。 It was late afternoon that day, yet still hot.

As the popularity of short videos increases, a critical question arises: Are short videos helpful or harmful to students? ____________________________________________________________________________________ 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。 I was an arrogant (傲慢的) high school boy full of blind self-confidence, firmly believing that I was more capable than all my classmates at managing group tasks. When our teacher formally announced that our school would hold a lively campus charity fair to raise money for poor children in remote villages, I volunteered without hesitation to take charge of the second-hand book stall. I also actively persuaded nearly ten warm-hearted classmates to donate their unused books to support my booth. My thoughtful classmate Lina had kindly reminded me in advance to classify different kinds of books, mark clear and reasonable prices, and design simple promotional posters to attract visitors. However, I rudely turned down her sincere advice and even laughed openly at her for being overly cautious. I gathered large piles of various books, including interesting storybooks, popular magazines and practical exam reference books. Without any careful arrangement, I stuffed these mixed books randomly into several rough cardboard boxes. On the official day of the charity fair, while other groups devoted plenty of time and energy to decorating their stalls with colorful ribbons and beautiful handwritten signs, I did almost no preparation at all. I just laid all my books in a total mess on the table and wandered around the campus casually, firmly convinced that high-quality books alone would naturally draw a large number of buyers. As noon slowly rolled around, all the neighboring stalls were packed with busy and energetic students. In sharp contrast, almost no one stopped or spared a glance at my book booth. Worse still, several reference books accidentally slipped off the table and got badly stained by the fruit juice spilled by passing students. Standing alone beside my cold booth, I watched Lina’s handmade toy stall become extremely popular and listened to their cheerful and merry laughter. Strong regret and great embarrassment wrapped me tightly. I fully realized that my stupid arrogance and laziness had wasted my classmates’ kind donations. Just as I sank into deep self-blame and despair, Lina finished her temporary work and walked straight towards me. 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。 Seeing my depression, Lina didn’t mention my previous rudeness but proposed a plan. __________________________________________________________________________________________ When the charity fair drew to an end, our book stall unexpectedly topped the donation list. __________________________________________________________________________________________ 2026—2027学年度高二上学期英语10月月考答案 听力1-5 ACBAC 6-10 ABBCB 11-15 BCABC 16-20 ACBCA 阅读 21-23 DAC 24-27 BADC 28-31 BAAC 32-35 DDBC 36-40 DGACE 完型 41-45 DADDC 46-50 BCDAB 51-55 CDAAC 56. an 57. to support 58. whom 59. separated 60. has kept 61. into 62. gratitude 63. expressing 64. be integrated 65. that Short Videos: Helpful or Harmful to Students? As the popularity of short videos increases, a critical question arises: Are short videos helpful or harmful to students? The answer lies not in labeling them as “good” or “bad”, but in how students choose to use them. On one hand, short videos can be powerful tools for students’ learning and growth. Beyond academics, short videos also broaden students’ horizons, boosting their confidence and social skills. On the other hand, short videos pose significant risks if misused. The biggest challenge is their addictive nature, which not only harms academic performance but also disrupts sleep, leading to tiredness and poor focus in class. To use them well, we students should choose carefully: pick study videos like English learning or fun science facts. Also, set a time limit — maybe 20 minutes a day. If we use short videos as learning tools, not just for fun, they can really help us! Seeing my depression, Lina didn’t mention my previous rudeness but proposed a plan. Eager to make up for my mistakes, I nodded gratefully and we set it in motion. We sorted the messy books into three groups: fairy tales, novels, and review materials. Lina set about creating eye-catching price tags with colorful pens, while I borrowed long, elegant ribbons to decorate our table. Knowing students hunted for cheap books, we wiped the juice-stained copies clean and shouted warm promotions. Gradually, as curious buyers gathered, I regretted laughing at her good advice earlier. When the charity fair drew to an end, our book stall unexpectedly topped the donation list. To our great joy, the collected cash was far more than expected. The heavy donation box in my hands, I turned to Lina with red-rimmed eyes. Not only did I formally apologize for my unbearable arrogance, but I also thanked her for saving the day. She accepted it softly, a forgiving smile washing away my lingering guilt. Ultimately, this unforgettable experience taught me an important lesson: true success lies in team work rather than blind pride. 1. W: Excuse me. I’m going to the Grand Hotel, but I get lost. M: Just take the bus over there, and get off at Vegetable Company Station. The hotel is behind it. W: Thanks. 2. W: The City Art Gallery has asked me to create a painting in the image of the man who built the building in 1876. M: How do you know what he looks like? W: There is a photo of him. 3.

I’ve never realized that there are so many homeless people in Germany and France. M: You also can’t believe how many people in our country are waiting for us to help! W: Yeah. Although overall, New York is rich in the United States, it still has lots of homeless people. We can do something to make a difference to the poor in our hometown. What do you think we can do to help them? M: Well, we can raise money through a charity sale, which may help them a little. 9. W: Oh, so slow. M: Yeah, it’s a long line. People are buying a lot for the holiday. Would you like to go ahead of me? W: Really? Thank you so much. My husband is waiting outside the store and we’re in a hurry. I really appreciate it. M: That’s okay. If you don’t mind, could you pay it forward by doing something kind for someone else? W: Sure, I’d love to. I will figure out something nice to do on my way back. M: By the way, I’m doing it for random acts of the kindness week. Could I tell you something about it? W: Yes, please. M: It’s initiated by the local church. We do it from Monday to Thursday. On Monday, we encouraged people to smile more. Tuesday’s challenge was to have lunch with someone we don’t normally eat with. Yesterday we had the third challenge — volunteering. I helped at a nursing home. Today we do something for someone in need and ask them to pay it forward. W: That’s great. I love it. How can I join? M: Here is the website. Just apply online. It’s simple. W: Okay, I’ll do it now. 10.W: Welcome to Montfort School, and thank you for choosing our school and for joining the happy Montfort family.
