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. We’ve become trapped in a cycle of response, as if any pause 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. 4. What is the author’s main concern over digital devices? A. They cause unease during quiet pauses. B. They require frequent software updates. C. They often stop working without warning. D. They may replace face-to-face interaction. 5. What role did boredom play in the author’s childhood? A. It taught him to be patient. B. It gave him time to recharge. C. It developed his rich imagination. D. It helped him avoid digital distraction. 6. What can we learn from the student’s response? A. True artists never feel bored. B. Drawing requires special training. C. Inspiration comes after waiting. D. Satisfaction begins when desire ends. 7. What advice is the author implying by saying“I envy you”? A. Use phone less. B. Hold tight to youth. C. Search for more treasure. D. Spare time for creativity. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。本文叙述了作者与一位学生的校园邂逅，反思数字时代对“空白”的恐惧，指出创造力正孕育于放下电子设备的静默之中。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Our devices, including computers, smartphones and the never-ending flow of online content, keep feeding us fresh updates, training us to expect continued stimulation. We’ve become trapped in a cycle of response, as if any pause were a problem to be solved. (我们的设备不断推送新内容，训练我们持续寻求刺激；我们陷入了“一停就要回应”的循环，好像任何停顿都是必须解决的问题)”可知，作者担忧的是数字设备让人在安静时感到不安。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“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.(我回想起自己的童年——那些下午，我凝视着窗外，没做什么特别的事。那种看似漫无目的的无聊，实际上是一段重新调整的时期，那时我的大脑需要重置，之后才能重新发现快乐与创造力)”可知，童年那段无所事事的空白，实质上是大脑重启，给作者“充电”时间。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段学生说的“I know that something will eventually pop into my head. When it does, it’s a real rush of satisfaction.(我知道灵感终究会出现；当它到来时，会带来真正的满足感)”可知，灵感会在耐心等待之后降临。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段作者道别时所说“As I left, I told her the truth：‘I envy you’—not for her dead device, but for the creative space it had opened. (当我离开时，我向她坦诚：‘我羡慕你’——不是羡慕她那坏掉的手机，而是羡慕它打开的那片创意空间)”可知，作者明确说明“羡慕的不是学生故障的手机，而是手机故障带来的创作空间，可见其隐含建议是“为创造力留出时间。故选D项。 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 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 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 (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. 8. What mainly leads to the sharp drop of Plains-wanderer numbers? A. Increased natural enemies. B. Shortage of food sources. C. Unstable climate conditions. D. Destruction of native habitat. 9. What can we infer about the AI system used in the research? A. It can replace the need for human field work. B. It is designed to record the birds’ unique calls. C. It processes massive audio recordings efficiently. D. It can increase the population of Plains-wanderers. 10. 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. 11. 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. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述澳大利亚科学家利用 AI 技术定位濒危鸟类平原漫游鸟，助力该物种的保护工作。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Zoos Victoria, the group behind the recent effort to locate Plains-wanderers, says the birds’ number has declined by over 85% in recent decades as grasslands have been turned into farms and cities.(维多利亚动物园是近期开展平原漫游鸟搜寻工作的牵头机构，该机构表示，近几十年来，由于草原被改造为农田与城市，这种鸟类的数量已经下降了85%以上。)”可知，草原也就是原生栖息地遭到破坏导致该鸟数量锐减。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“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 (核实) and confirmed the reliability of the AI system’s identification results.(这些设备收集了数万小时的录音资料，远远超出人类的分析处理能力。于是研究人员将录音输入经过训练、可以识别平原漫游鸟叫声的人工智能系统。人工智能系统检测到其中两处地点出现了平原漫游鸟的叫声。科学家开展进一步人工核实，证实了人工智能识别结果的可靠性。)”可知，人工智能系统可以高效处理海量音频录音。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“The AI system discovered Plains-wanderer calls coming from two of the sites. The scientists carried out further manual verification (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”.(人工智能系统检测到其中两处地点出现了平原漫游鸟的叫声。科学家开展进一步人工核实，证实了人工智能识别结果的可靠性。就职于维多利亚动物园的Chris Hartnett称，这就如同“striking gold”一般。)”可知，Chris Hartnett认为这次发现对研究至关重要，striking gold暗示“这次发现对研究至关重要”。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“Scientists in Australia have used Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help them locate an endangered bird called the Plains‑wanderer.(澳大利亚的科学家利用人工智能来帮助他们定位一种名为平原漫游鸟的濒危鸟类。)”可知，文章主要介绍智能工具追踪、保护濒危物种。 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 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. “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 question the practicality of large-scale V2G deployment and the high upfront 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 versus phased 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 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 last decades, while V2G chargers have limited lifespans and can expand with EV adoption. 12. 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. 13. 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. 14. What is the ideal strategy for promoting V2G according to the study? A. Delaying grid upgrades to save costs. B. Scaling up V2G chargers before grid updates. C. Upgrading the power system proactively first. D. Focusing on carbon rebate revenue instead of emissions. 15. 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 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍电动汽车可借助V2G技术服务电网，缓解电网压力、减排创收，并阐述该技术落地的争议、研究及最优推广策略。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“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.(车辆到电网技术（V2G）是一种能让充电站与电网通信的软件，它化解了这两大难题，让电动汽车可以按需耗电并回输电力。这种双向电力流动与目前单向的充电系统形成了对比)”可知，V2G技术的核心功能是实现电动汽车与电网之间的双向能量流动。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“However, critics question the practicality of large-scale V2G deployment and the high upfront costs of necessary infrastructure (基础设施).(然而，批评者质疑大规模部署V2G技术的可行性，以及配套基础设施高昂的前期成本)”可知，批评者质疑V2G大规模应用的原因是其需要昂贵的初期基础设施投入。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The ideal solution is to upgrade the power system as soon as possible.(最理想的解决方案是尽快升级电力系统)”以及第七段“First upgrade the power system to support EVs, then scale V2G when needed — that’s the key(首先升级支持电动汽车的电力系统，再按需推广V2G技术，这是关键)”可知，推广V2G的最优策略是率先主动升级电力系统。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第一段“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 energy and feeding it back into the grid (电网) when demand increases greatly.(电动汽车对环境的作用不仅仅是替代汽油。发表在细胞出版社期刊《焦耳》上的一项关于电动汽车充电策略的新评估表明，电动汽车可以充当庞大的移动电池网络 —— 储存多余的能源，并在需求大幅增加时将其输送回电网)”可知，文章开篇提出电动汽车可作为移动电池服务电网，引出V2G技术，介绍其功能、外界争议、相关研究，最终阐明该技术助力电网运行、节能减排的价值及推广方案。C项“电动汽车如何为电力系统提供支持”贴合文章主旨，适合作标题。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 An educated person understands that education is a lifelong journey, not a destination.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲的是作者在炎热午后好心搭载一位提着杂货的老妇人，因对方住处偏僻、接应的年轻人外形有威慑感而仓促离开，途中误以为手机被偷心生悔意，最终发现是老妇人不慎误拿手机，年轻人特意追来归还，这件事让作者领悟到不能仅凭外表刻板评判他人，普通人也能拥有高尚的品格。 【21题详解】 考查动词。句意：我向北开车时，看到一位提着杂货的老妇人正艰难地向南走，显然需要帮助。A. glancing扫视；B. running奔跑；C. riding骑行；D. struggling艰难行进。根据上文“I saw an elderly woman with groceries”和下文“obviously in need of help”可知，老妇人提着沉重的杂货，在炎热的午后赶路，用struggling最能体现她步履维艰、需要帮助的状态。 【22题详解】 考查动词。句意：“但我怎么能在不阻碍傍晚时期车流的情况下安全停车呢？”我暗自思忖。A. reasoned理性思考；B. complained抱怨；C. confirmed确认；D. doubted怀疑。根据上文“But how can I safely stop without blocking late-afternoon traffic”可知，作者在为自己不停车的行为找合理的解释，用reasoned体现他当时的心理活动，表示作者在进行思考。 【23题详解】 考查副词。句意：这个想法暂时缓解了我的愧疚感。A. occasionally偶尔；B. completely完全地；C. gradually逐渐地；D. temporarily暂时地。根据下文“Yet I still made a U-turn”可知，作者还是掉头回去帮忙了，说明这份愧疚只是被暂时缓解，并没有彻底消失。 【24题详解】 考查动词。句意：但我还是掉了头，这惹恼了其他司机。A. inspired鼓舞；B. discouraged使气馁；C. disappointed使失望；D. annoyed使恼怒。根据上文“I still made a U-turn”和“late-afternoon traffic”可知，在车流中突然掉头的行为会影响其他车辆正常通行，自然会让其他司机感到恼怒。 【25题详解】 考查动词。句意：“愿上帝保佑你。”她说道，指引我往更南的方向开。A. urging催促；B. driving驾驶；C. directing指引；D. leaving离开。根据下文“me farther south. As we drove”可知，作者主动提出载老妇人一程，老妇人自然是要告知他目的地的方向。 【26题详解】 考查形容词。句意：当我进入一个街道杂乱、到处都是无家可归者的区域时，心里开始不安。A. sensible明智的；B. uneasy不安的；C. mindless盲目的；D. curious好奇的。根据下文“streets and homeless people”可知，陌生的偏僻区域加上无家可归者的人，很容易让独自驾车的人产生不安的情绪。 【27题详解】 考查形容词。句意：当我进入一个街道杂乱、到处都是无家可归者的区域时，心里开始不安。A. safe安全的；B. orderly有序的；C. messy杂乱的；D. busy繁忙的。根据下文“homeless people”可知，这里有流浪汉，整体环境不会是整洁有序的。 【28题详解】 考查动词。句意：我迅速把她的东西卸下来，然后快速开车离开了。A. fetched取来；B. unpacked打开（包裹）；C. carried搬运；D. dropped放下、卸下。根据下文“her things off, and then quickly drove away”可知，作者当时感到威胁，只想快速把老妇人的东西从车上卸下来，立刻脱身，drop off是固定搭配，表示“卸下（物品）”。 【29题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：我伸手去拿手机拨打911，却发现手机不见了。A. reached for伸手去拿；B. picked up捡起；C. held on to紧紧抓住；D. put away收好。根据下文“my phone to call 911”可知，遇到危险想要报警，自然是伸手去够放在某处的手机。 【30题详解】 考查动词。句意：“她偷走了我的手机！”我心想，不禁后悔自己的善意之举。A. recalling回忆；B. regretting后悔；C. mourning哀悼；D. appreciating感激。根据上文“She stole it”可知，作者误以为自己的好心帮忙换来了手机被偷，自然会对之前的善意行为感到后悔。 【31题详解】 考查动词。句意：那个骑摩托车的人一直示意我停下，手里挥着个东西——正是我的手机！A. warning警告；B. forcing强迫；C. signaling示意；D. begging乞求。根据上文“Soon, a motorcycle roared behind me”和下文“me to stop, waving something”可知，他在作者车后骑行，通过挥手的方式向作者发出停车的信号。 【32题详解】 考查介词短语。句意：我把车停了下来，他把手机递给我：“奶奶送过来这个手机——她是不小心拿走的。”A. in advance提前；B. in secret秘密地；C. in turn轮流；D. by accident意外地。根据下文“I was sorry for my thoughts”可知，作者误会老妇人了，说明老妇人并不是故意偷手机，只是下车时不小心顺手带走了。 【33题详解】 考查名词。句意：我再也没有机会为我之前的恶意揣测向他们道歉了。A. chance机会；B. honour荣誉；C. potential潜能；D. attempt尝试。根据上文“soon disappeared into the night”可知，那个年轻人送完手机就消失在夜色里，作者之后再也没有遇到他们，自然没有道歉的机会。 【34题详解】 考查名词。句意：那天我还领悟到了别的东西：有时候我们会把别人判定为坏人，仅仅是因为他们的外表不符合我们心中认定的“正确标准”。A. appearance外表；B. behavior行为；C. perspective观点；D. personality性格。根据第二段中“a young man, wearing long hair, on a motorcycle, was smiling at me, but appearing threatening”可知，年轻人留着长发、骑着摩托车，看起来有威胁感，这些都是外在的表象，让作者先入为主产生了偏见。 【35题详解】 ‌考查形容词。句意：他们或许没有开时髦的车，但谁又能说他们和我们不平等，甚至不比我们更高尚呢？A. generous慷慨的；B. friendly友好的；C. equal平等的；D. loyal忠诚的。根据上文“They may not drive a stylish car”可知，此处作者是想说不能以物质条件评判他人，每个人在人格上都是平等的，甚至拥有比普通人更可贵的品质。 第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 In 1999, Ronald Sakolsky, ____36____ American teacher at Luoyang Foreign Language School, learned about Yin Yuzhen’s ongoing efforts to fight desertification in the Mu Us Sandy Land (毛乌素沙地).

As the popularity of short videos increases, a critical question arises: Are short videos helpful or harmful to students? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 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! 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文，要求考生就学校英文报正在开展主题为“Short Videos: Helpful or Harmful to Students?”的征文活动写一篇短文投稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 拓宽：broaden→expand 增强：boost→enhance 导致：lead to→result in 帮助：help→assist 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句： Beyond academics, short videos also broaden students’ horizons, boosting their confidence and social skills. 拓展句：Beyond academics, short videos also broaden students’ horizons, which boosts their confidence and social skills. 【点睛】【高分句型1】The answer lies not in labeling them as “good” or “bad”, but in how students choose to use them.（运用了how引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】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.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句） 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. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One Possible Version Seeing my depression, Lina didn’t mention my previous rudeness but proposed a plan. Eager to make amends, I nodded gratefully and we set it in motion. Our forces joined, we split the messy pile into three categories: fairy tales, novels, and review materials. Lina set about creating eye-catching price tags with colorful pens, whereas I humbly 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 a steady stream of curious buyers gathered, my face flushed with profound guilt for mocking her careful suggestions before. When the charity fair drew to an end, our book stall unexpectedly topped the donation list. To our immense thrill, the collected cash far exceeded our expectations. 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 engraved a priceless truth in my mind: true success is rooted in collaboration rather than blind pride. From then on, I swallowed my ego, always ready to embrace others’ valuable advice. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了一个傲慢的高中男生在负责校园慈善义卖二手书摊时，因盲目自信、拒绝同学建议而导致书摊无人问津，后在同学Lina的帮助下重新整理并大获成功，从而领悟到合作与谦逊重要性的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可描写Lina主动提出帮助计划，作者感激地接受，两人合作整理书籍、制作标签、装饰摊位并热情推销，书摊逐渐吸引顾客，作者内心充满愧疚。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可描写义卖结束时书摊捐款额意外位居榜首，作者向Lina真诚道歉并感谢她的宽容，这次经历让作者深刻认识到真正的成功源于合作而非盲目的骄傲，从此学会接纳他人建议。 2. 续写线索：陷入沮丧——Lina主动帮助——合作整理与推销——书摊大获成功——真诚道歉与感谢——领悟合作真谛 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①寻找：hunt for/seek for ②道歉：apologize/make an apology 情绪类 ①愧疚：guilt/remorse ②宽容的：forgiving/tolerant 【点睛】【高分句型1】Gradually, as a steady stream of curious buyers gathered, my face flushed with profound guilt for mocking her careful suggestions before.

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. We’ve become trapped in a cycle of response, as if any pause 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. 4. What is the author’s main concern over digital devices? A. They cause unease during quiet pauses. B. They require frequent software updates. C. They often stop working without warning. D. They may replace face-to-face interaction. 5. What role did boredom play in the author’s childhood? A. It taught him to be patient. B. It gave him time to recharge. C. It developed his rich imagination. D. It helped him avoid digital distraction. 6. What can we learn from the student’s response? A. True artists never feel bored. B. Drawing requires special training. C. Inspiration comes after waiting. D. Satisfaction begins when desire ends. 7. What advice is the author implying by saying“I envy you”? A. Use phone less. B. Hold tight to youth. C. Search for more treasure. D. Spare time for creativity. 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 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 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 (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. 8. What mainly leads to the sharp drop of Plains-wanderer numbers? A. Increased natural enemies. B. Shortage of food sources. C. Unstable climate conditions. D. Destruction of native habitat. 9. What can we infer about the AI system used in the research? A. It can replace the need for human field work. B. It is designed to record the birds’ unique calls. C. It processes massive audio recordings efficiently. D. It can increase the population of Plains-wanderers. 10. 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. 11. 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 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. “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 question the practicality of large-scale V2G deployment and the high upfront 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 versus phased 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 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 last decades, while V2G chargers have limited lifespans and can expand with EV adoption. 12. 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. 13. 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. 14. What is the ideal strategy for promoting V2G according to the study? A. Delaying grid upgrades to save costs. B. Scaling up V2G chargers before grid updates. C. Upgrading the power system proactively first. D. Focusing on carbon rebate revenue instead of emissions. 15. 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.

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. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
