He didn’t even go to school until the age of 14. Instead, his parents educated him at home. Like many genius children, his teachers criticized him, calling him “unteachable, absolutely talentless.” Yet young Mach excelled at university in Vienna. He studied mathematics, physics and philosophy. He was also boundlessly curious. He conducted all kinds of experiments, believing that theories must be tried, tested, and proven in facts, but first formulated in the mind. He brought this rigorous (严密的) approach to his studies, believing that true science is based on what actually happens and can be observed. In addition to his work in the sciences, Mach was also a well-rounded student, with interests in philosophy and even sports. He was an excellent boxer and fencer, which reflected the wide range of his abilities and interests. As a teacher, Mach was serious and demanding. That was the model of pedagogy (教学) of his time, and Mach followed this standard: tight collar, buttoned-down tie, waistcoat and jacket, and serious eyes behind wire-framed glasses. He expected exactness from his students. Among those he influenced was the young Albert Einstein. Mach’s insistence on clarity and rigorous testing of ideas helped shape Einstein’s thinking. Though Mach was doubtful about some of Einstein’s later conclusions, such as E=mc2, his doubt drove Einstein to prove his ideas further. He pushed the young Einstein to achieve excellence. While Mach is credited with many theories of his own, including the aircraft velocity (速度) measurement that bears his name, “Mach 1, Mach 2, etc.”, his mentorship of Einstein is perhaps his greatest achievement. The best teachers in our lives also challenge us and see us as not yet complete but full of potential. They shine a light on the path that gets us to a successful reality. And through us, they live on. 4. What can we know about Ernst Mach from paragraph 1? A. He attended university at the age of 14. B. He was considered a genius by his teachers. C. His early education was coached by his parents. D. His physical disability discouraged his studying. 5. How did Ernst Mach impact Albert Einstein? A. He challenged Einstein to excel. B. He forced Einstein to give in. C. He introduced new theories to Einstein. D. He inspired Einstein to focus on physics. 6. Which can best describe Ernst Mach? A. Cautious and ambitious. B. Professional and influential. C. Diligent and dependent. D. Incredible and accessible. 7. Which of the following can best describe the text? A. Suffering is the best teacher. B. Great minds think alike. C. Two heads are better than one. D. A great teacher produces a brilliant student. C When danger approaches, many creatures seem to follow the ancient saying that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Researchers have recently been finding complex ways that animals communicate with other species in such situations. For example, a recent study in Nature Ecology & Evolution documented more than 20 bird species on four continents that give off virtually identical “whining” calls when they spot brood parasites (巢寄生物) such as cuckoos. “That call is essentially the word for ‘cuckoo,’ ” says study co-lead author James Kennerley, a wildlife biologist at Cornell University. “And it’s rounding up individuals to come together against this common enemy.” Brood parasites lay eggs in other birds’ nests, tricking the host parents into raising their chicks for them. At a field site in Australia, Kennerley has witnessed individuals from a dozen or more species attack a cuckoo in response to a chorus of whining calls. These attacks can be so violent that Kennerley and his coworkers need to cage the cuckoo used in their experiments to protect it. Many birds also share a common vocabulary for predators (捕食者). Research by wildlife ecologist Erick Greene, a professor at the University of Montana, and others shows that various songbirds produce recognizable “seet” calls to alert others to an eagle in flight. The calls are at a frequency too high for eagles to detect well, so the predators remain oblivious as information about their arrival shoots through the forest. If the eagle stops on a branch, songbirds switch to “mobbing” calls, a distinct vocalization that, as Greene puts it, “draws in the other birds to drive that eagle off.” Cooperative defense is not the only reason for cross-species communication. Among other things, it may help birds enhance food intake. A recent study found that when seabirds with good vision, such as albatrosses, hunt with seabirds with strong senses of smell, such as petrels, they both have far greater success at catching small shellfish. “Clearly, information is constantly traded between different kinds of animals, which is a fundamental ecological phenomenon,” Greene says. “It can be life-saving.” 8. What is the main purpose of birds’ “whining” calls? A. To attract female mates. B. To defend their own nests. C. To indicate food sources. D. To signal their newborns. 9. What does the underlined word “oblivious” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Unbearable. B. Unconcerned. C. Unaware. D. Uncertain. 10. Why do seabirds like albatrosses and petrels cooperate? A. They try to improve feeding efficiency. B. They defend against common predators. C. They need to establish a shared territory. D. They learn hunting skills from each other. 11. What do Greene’s words in the last paragraph stress? A. The diversity of ecological phenomena. B. The rareness of multispecies cooperation. C. The complexity of cross-species interactions. D. The significance of interspecies communication. D Deep within the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, wonderful ancient murals (壁画) have whispered stories of faith for centuries. However, these national treasures face the constant threat of natural damage. Today, a new “guardian” has arrived to protect them: Artificial Intelligence (AI). Wang Wanfu, a senior researcher at the Dunhuang Academy, is leading this great change. To him, AI is a bridge connecting ancient art with modern science. The protection begins with a close watch on the environment. Wang’s team uses AI to monitor temperature and humidity (湿度). While human eyes might overlook tiny changes, AI can study tens of thousands of high-definition photos to find the tiniest breaks. “The key is determining whether the worsening is active,” Wang explains. “If risks are found, we step in immediately with targeted techniques before the damage becomes irreplaceable, ensuring the best possible outcome for these precious relics (遗迹).” The power of AI was evident during the repair of a “flying ribbon” from a Dunhuang painting. By studying various artistic styles across different dynasties, AI’s massive computing ability processed thousands of patterns and generated several repair options for the team. This task would have taken humans months or even years to complete. Then, scientists and art historians stepped in to select the most historically accurate plan. This human-machine partnership ensures that technology respects history. “Technology brings relics to life, but we must ensure they are passed down in their original forms,” says Wang. Looking ahead, Wang highlights that conservation is becoming a cross-subject field, drawing on areas from microbiology to computer science. He is calling for more young talents to join the mission. “Whatever your background, if you’re passionate about heritage, there’s a place for you here,” he says. With AI’s assistance, Wang is confident that the glory of Dunhuang will continue to inspire the world, proving that the past can indeed have a bright future. 12. What is Wang Wanfu’s view of AI? A. It replaces human staff. B. It restores cave structures. C. It combines art and science. D. It has massive computing ability. 13. How does AI help in monitoring the murals? A. By controlling temperature. B. By discovering potential risks. C. By decreasing natural damage. D. By partly adjusting humidity levels. 14. What was the role of humans in the “flying ribbon” repair? A. Providing repair options. B. Developing artistic styles. C. Processing massive patterns. D. Choosing the best repair plan. 15. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To compare human and AI abilities in art repair. B. To explain the historical value of Dunhuang murals. C. To introduce a new method of preserving ancient art. D. To showcase the advantage of AI over human experts. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Get Smart About Saving Knowing how to manage money is an important life skill. ___16___ Here’s how you can explore what it means to budget, save, and spend your money wisely. ·Open a bank account.

I’ve always been passionate about exploring and solving problems — whether fixing a broken toy or figuring out how a phone app works. This led me to join our school’s Coding (编程) Club. In our first lesson, Ms. Davis told us that coding is more than writing lines of code. It is about using technology to make life easier for others. “Your project,” she announced in class one day, “is to create a simple app that solves a real-life problem.” “You have one week to prepare,” she added gently, hoping this would give us enough time to find inspiration and finish the project. The challenge stayed with me as I walked to my neighbor Mrs. Thompson’s apartment after school. She had invited me for tea, as she often did on Tuesdays. Mrs. Thompson was kind and cheerful, but lately she had been a little forgetful, often misplacing her keys or repeating the same story twice without realizing it. When I arrived, she was in the kitchen. “Mae! Good timing,” she greeted me warmly, and then stopped, glancing at the kettle. “Did I already boil water for tea?” I checked the kettle — it was still warm. We laughed about it as I poured water, and soon we were chatting. Our conversation turned to her weekly book club with friends. Mrs. Thompson smiled, talking about her two old friends. Mr. Brown arrived late for the game, and Mrs. Smith failed to bring her glasses twice. “We’re quite a group,” she said. Then her expression grew thoughtful. “We manage, of course. But sometimes I think wouldn’t it be nice if something simply reminds us? Take medicine. Water the plants. Friday for book club.” She tapped her head with a soft laugh. Her words sank in. At that moment, an idea formed in my mind. As I stood up to leave, I smiled mysteriously, “Give me a few days, and I’ll bring you a little surprise.” “Oh? I’ll try not to forget that,” she laughed. 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。 That night, I sat at my desk, notebook open and mind racing with details. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, I presented my project to Ms. Davis. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 赣州市第一中学2026—2027学年第一学期10月份月考 高二英语试题 2026年10月 （满分150分，考试时间120分钟） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，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段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

He didn’t even go to school until the age of 14. Instead, his parents educated him at home. Like many genius children, his teachers criticized him, calling him “unteachable, absolutely talentless.” Yet young Mach excelled at university in Vienna. He studied mathematics, physics and philosophy. He was also boundlessly curious. He conducted all kinds of experiments, believing that theories must be tried, tested, and proven in facts, but first formulated in the mind. He brought this rigorous (严密的) approach to his studies, believing that true science is based on what actually happens and can be observed. In addition to his work in the sciences, Mach was also a well-rounded student, with interests in philosophy and even sports. He was an excellent boxer and fencer, which reflected the wide range of his abilities and interests. As a teacher, Mach was serious and demanding. That was the model of pedagogy (教学) of his time, and Mach followed this standard: tight collar, buttoned-down tie, waistcoat and jacket, and serious eyes behind wire-framed glasses. He expected exactness from his students. Among those he influenced was the young Albert Einstein. Mach’s insistence on clarity and rigorous testing of ideas helped shape Einstein’s thinking. Though Mach was doubtful about some of Einstein’s later conclusions, such as E=mc2, his doubt drove Einstein to prove his ideas further. He pushed the young Einstein to achieve excellence. While Mach is credited with many theories of his own, including the aircraft velocity (速度) measurement that bears his name, “Mach 1, Mach 2, etc.”, his mentorship of Einstein is perhaps his greatest achievement. The best teachers in our lives also challenge us and see us as not yet complete but full of potential. They shine a light on the path that gets us to a successful reality. And through us, they live on. 4. What can we know about Ernst Mach from paragraph 1? A. He attended university at the age of 14. B. He was considered a genius by his teachers. C. His early education was coached by his parents. D. His physical disability discouraged his studying. 5. How did Ernst Mach impact Albert Einstein? A. He challenged Einstein to excel. B. He forced Einstein to give in. C. He introduced new theories to Einstein. D. He inspired Einstein to focus on physics. 6. Which can best describe Ernst Mach? A. Cautious and ambitious. B. Professional and influential. C. Diligent and dependent. D. Incredible and accessible. 7. Which of the following can best describe the text? A. Suffering is the best teacher. B. Great minds think alike. C. Two heads are better than one. D. A great teacher produces a brilliant student. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍的是恩斯特·马赫的成长经历、学术理念以及他对年轻爱因斯坦的深远影响，强调了优秀导师对学生成长的重要作用。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“He didn’t even go to school until the age of 14. Instead, his parents educated him at home. (他直到14岁才上学。相反，他的父母在家教育他。)”可知，马赫的早期教育是由父母在家辅导的。  【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Mach’s insistence on clarity and rigorous testing of ideas helped shape Einstein’s thinking. (马赫对清晰性和严格检验思想的坚持帮助塑造了爱因斯坦的思维方式。)”以及“He pushed the young Einstein to achieve excellence. (他推动年轻的爱因斯坦追求卓越。)”可知，马赫通过挑战促使爱因斯坦追求卓越。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“He brought this rigorous (严密的) approach to his studies, believing that true science is based on what actually happens and can be observed. (他将这种严密的方法带到他的研究中，相信真正的科学基于实际发生和可以观察到的事物。)”以及第三段“As a teacher, Mach was serious and demanding. (作为一名教师，马赫严肃且要求严格。)”以及第四段“While Mach is credited with many theories of his own, including the aircraft velocity (速度) measurement that bears his name, ‘Mach 1, Mach 2, etc.’, his mentorship of Einstein is perhaps his greatest achievement. (虽然马赫因其许多理论（包括以他名字命名的飞机速度测量方法‘Mach 1, Mach 2’等）而受到赞誉，但他对爱因斯坦的指导或许是他最大的成就。)”可知，马赫是一位专业且有影响力的人。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段“While Mach is credited with many theories of his own, including the aircraft velocity (速度) measurement that bears his name, ‘Mach 1, Mach 2, etc.’, his mentorship of Einstein is perhaps his greatest achievement. The best teachers in our lives also challenge us and see us as not yet complete but full of potential. (虽然马赫因其许多理论（包括以他名字命名的飞机速度测量方法‘Mach 1, Mach 2’等）而受到赞誉，但他对爱因斯坦的指导或许是他最大的成就。我们生活中最好的老师也会挑战我们，将我们视为尚未完成但充满潜力的人。)”可知，本文主要讲述的是优秀导师培养出杰出学生的故事，因此最能描述文本核心主旨的是“名师出高徒”。 C When danger approaches, many creatures seem to follow the ancient saying that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Researchers have recently been finding complex ways that animals communicate with other species in such situations. For example, a recent study in Nature Ecology & Evolution documented more than 20 bird species on four continents that give off virtually identical “whining” calls when they spot brood parasites (巢寄生物) such as cuckoos. “That call is essentially the word for ‘cuckoo,’ ” says study co-lead author James Kennerley, a wildlife biologist at Cornell University. “And it’s rounding up individuals to come together against this common enemy.” Brood parasites lay eggs in other birds’ nests, tricking the host parents into raising their chicks for them. At a field site in Australia, Kennerley has witnessed individuals from a dozen or more species attack a cuckoo in response to a chorus of whining calls. These attacks can be so violent that Kennerley and his coworkers need to cage the cuckoo used in their experiments to protect it. Many birds also share a common vocabulary for predators (捕食者). Research by wildlife ecologist Erick Greene, a professor at the University of Montana, and others shows that various songbirds produce recognizable “seet” calls to alert others to an eagle in flight. The calls are at a frequency too high for eagles to detect well, so the predators remain oblivious as information about their arrival shoots through the forest. If the eagle stops on a branch, songbirds switch to “mobbing” calls, a distinct vocalization that, as Greene puts it, “draws in the other birds to drive that eagle off.” Cooperative defense is not the only reason for cross-species communication. Among other things, it may help birds enhance food intake. A recent study found that when seabirds with good vision, such as albatrosses, hunt with seabirds with strong senses of smell, such as petrels, they both have far greater success at catching small shellfish. “Clearly, information is constantly traded between different kinds of animals, which is a fundamental ecological phenomenon,” Greene says. “It can be life-saving.” 8. What is the main purpose of birds’ “whining” calls? A. To attract female mates. B. To defend their own nests. C. To indicate food sources. D. To signal their newborns. 9. What does the underlined word “oblivious” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Unbearable. B. Unconcerned. C. Unaware. D. Uncertain. 10. Why do seabirds like albatrosses and petrels cooperate? A. They try to improve feeding efficiency. B. They defend against common predators. C. They need to establish a shared territory. D. They learn hunting skills from each other. 11. What do Greene’s words in the last paragraph stress? A. The diversity of ecological phenomena. B. The rareness of multispecies cooperation. C. The complexity of cross-species interactions. D. The significance of interspecies communication. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍的是动物在面临危险时跨物种交流的复杂方式，包括鸟类通过共同叫声联合防御巢寄生物和捕食者，以及海鸟合作捕食等现象。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“‘That call is essentially the word for ‘cuckoo,’ ’ says study co-lead author James Kennerley, a wildlife biologist at Cornell University.‘And it’s rounding up individuals to come together against this common enemy.’ (‘那个叫声本质上就是‘杜鹃’这个词，’该研究的共同第一作者、康奈尔大学野生生物学家James Kennerley说。‘它召集个体团结起来对抗这个共同的敌人。’)”以及第三段“Brood parasites lay eggs in other birds’ nests, tricking the host parents into raising their chicks for them. (巢寄生物在其他鸟的巢中产卵，欺骗宿主父母为它们抚养幼鸟。)”可知，鸟类的“哀鸣”叫声是为了召集同伴共同防御巢寄生物，保护自己的巢穴。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“The calls are at a frequency too high for eagles to detect well, so the predators remain oblivious as information about their arrival shoots through the forest. (这些叫声的频率太高，老鹰无法很好地察觉，因此当关于它们到来的信息在森林中迅速传播时，捕食者仍然oblivious。)”可知，由于叫声频率超出老鹰的感知范围，老鹰对鸟类的警报“毫无察觉”，“oblivious”意为“不知道的、未察觉的”，与“Unaware”意思最接近。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Cooperative defense is not the only reason for cross-species communication. Among other things, it may help birds enhance food intake. A recent study found that when seabirds with good vision, such as albatrosses, hunt with seabirds with strong senses of smell, such as petrels, they both have far greater success at catching small shellfish. (合作防御并不是跨物种交流的唯一原因。除此之外，它还可能帮助鸟类增加食物摄入。最近一项研究发现，当视力良好的海鸟（如信天翁）与嗅觉灵敏的海鸟（如海燕）一起捕食时，它们捕捉小型贝类的成功率都要高得多。)”可知，信天翁和海燕合作是为了提高捕食效率。  【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘Clearly, information is constantly traded between different kinds of animals, which is a fundamental ecological phenomenon,’ Greene says. ‘It can be life-saving.’ (‘很明显，信息在不同种类的动物之间不断交换，这是一种基本的生态现象，’格林说。‘这可能是救命的。’)”可知，格林的话强调了跨物种交流的重要性。 D Deep within the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, wonderful ancient murals (壁画) have whispered stories of faith for centuries. However, these national treasures face the constant threat of natural damage. Today, a new “guardian” has arrived to protect them: Artificial Intelligence (AI). Wang Wanfu, a senior researcher at the Dunhuang Academy, is leading this great change. To him, AI is a bridge connecting ancient art with modern science. The protection begins with a close watch on the environment. Wang’s team uses AI to monitor temperature and humidity (湿度). While human eyes might overlook tiny changes, AI can study tens of thousands of high-definition photos to find the tiniest breaks. “The key is determining whether the worsening is active,” Wang explains. “If risks are found, we step in immediately with targeted techniques before the damage becomes irreplaceable, ensuring the best possible outcome for these precious relics (遗迹).” The power of AI was evident during the repair of a “flying ribbon” from a Dunhuang painting. By studying various artistic styles across different dynasties, AI’s massive computing ability processed thousands of patterns and generated several repair options for the team. This task would have taken humans months or even years to complete. Then, scientists and art historians stepped in to select the most historically accurate plan. This human-machine partnership ensures that technology respects history. “Technology brings relics to life, but we must ensure they are passed down in their original forms,” says Wang. Looking ahead, Wang highlights that conservation is becoming a cross-subject field, drawing on areas from microbiology to computer science. He is calling for more young talents to join the mission. “Whatever your background, if you’re passionate about heritage, there’s a place for you here,” he says. With AI’s assistance, Wang is confident that the glory of Dunhuang will continue to inspire the world, proving that the past can indeed have a bright future. 12. What is Wang Wanfu’s view of AI? A. It replaces human staff. B. It restores cave structures. C. It combines art and science. D. It has massive computing ability. 13. How does AI help in monitoring the murals? A. By controlling temperature. B. By discovering potential risks. C. By decreasing natural damage. D. By partly adjusting humidity levels. 14. What was the role of humans in the “flying ribbon” repair? A. Providing repair options. B. Developing artistic styles. C. Processing massive patterns. D. Choosing the best repair plan. 15. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To compare human and AI abilities in art repair. B. To explain the historical value of Dunhuang murals. C. To introduce a new method of preserving ancient art. D. To showcase the advantage of AI over human experts. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了敦煌研究院研究人员带领团队运用人工智能技术监测、修复敦煌莫高窟壁画，通过人机合作的创新方式保护珍贵文化遗产。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“To him, AI is a bridge connecting ancient art with modern science.(对他而言，人工智能是连接古代艺术与现代科学的桥梁)”可知，汪万福认为人工智能连接了艺术与科学，它将艺术与科学结合起来。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“While human eyes might overlook tiny changes, AI can study tens of thousands of high-definition photos to find the tiniest breaks...If risks are found, we step in immediately with targeted techniques before the damage becomes irreplaceable...(虽然人类肉眼可能会忽略微小的变化，但是人工智能可以研究数万张高清照片，找到最细微的开裂……如果发现风险，我们会在损坏变得无法挽救之前立即用针对性技术介入处理……)”可知，人工智能可以帮助发现壁画存在的细微损伤和潜在风险。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Then, scientists and art historians stepped in to select the most historically accurate plan.(随后，科学家和艺术史学家介入，选出最具历史准确性的方案)”可知，在“飞天丝带”修复过程中，人类的作用是选出最合适的修复方案。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“However, these national treasures face the constant threat of natural damage. Today, a new “guardian” has arrived to protect them: Artificial Intelligence (AI). (然而，这些国宝一直面临自然损坏的威胁。如今，一位新的“守护者”来保护它们：人工智能(AI))”及全文内容可知，文章核心围绕人工智能保护敦煌壁画的全新方法展开，介绍了其工作流程与人机合作模式，也就是介绍一种保护古代艺术的新方法。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Get Smart About Saving Knowing how to manage money is an important life skill. ___16___ Here’s how you can explore what it means to budget, save, and spend your money wisely. ·Open a bank account.

I’ve always been passionate about exploring and solving problems — whether fixing a broken toy or figuring out how a phone app works. This led me to join our school’s Coding (编程) Club. In our first lesson, Ms. Davis told us that coding is more than writing lines of code. It is about using technology to make life easier for others. “Your project,” she announced in class one day, “is to create a simple app that solves a real-life problem.” “You have one week to prepare,” she added gently, hoping this would give us enough time to find inspiration and finish the project. The challenge stayed with me as I walked to my neighbor Mrs. Thompson’s apartment after school. She had invited me for tea, as she often did on Tuesdays. Mrs. Thompson was kind and cheerful, but lately she had been a little forgetful, often misplacing her keys or repeating the same story twice without realizing it. When I arrived, she was in the kitchen. “Mae! Good timing,” she greeted me warmly, and then stopped, glancing at the kettle. “Did I already boil water for tea?” I checked the kettle — it was still warm. We laughed about it as I poured water, and soon we were chatting. Our conversation turned to her weekly book club with friends. Mrs. Thompson smiled, talking about her two old friends. Mr. Brown arrived late for the game, and Mrs. Smith failed to bring her glasses twice. “We’re quite a group,” she said. Then her expression grew thoughtful. “We manage, of course. But sometimes I think wouldn’t it be nice if something simply reminds us? Take medicine. Water the plants. Friday for book club.” She tapped her head with a soft laugh. Her words sank in. At that moment, an idea formed in my mind. As I stood up to leave, I smiled mysteriously, “Give me a few days, and I’ll bring you a little surprise.” “Oh? I’ll try not to forget that,” she laughed. 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。 That night, I sat at my desk, notebook open and mind racing with details. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, I presented my project to Ms. Davis. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 That night, I sat at my desk, notebook open and mind racing with details. I decided to design a gentle reminder app especially for the elderly. I listed simple functions: important dates, daily tasks, and warm notes. I focused on making the words big and the buttons easy to touch. Whenever I felt stuck, I thought of Mrs. Thompson’s kind smile and her wish for something to help her remember. I carefully tested every part again and again, making sure it was simple and helpful. Deep in my heart, I hoped this little app could bring convenience and warmth to her and more elderly people. A week later, I presented my project to Ms. Davis. I introduced the app’s purpose and showed how it worked. Ms. Davis praised my thoughtful idea and spoke highly of my project. After class, I brought the app to Mrs. Thompson. She was delighted and tried it at once. “This is exactly what I need,” she said happily. Watching her smile, I truly understood what Ms. Davis had meant: coding is not just code, but a way to use technology to care for others. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了主人公Mae加入编程俱乐部，需完成一个解决实际问题的App项目。她从健忘的邻居Mrs. Thompson的需求中获得灵感，设计了一款提醒类App，最终展示项目并理解了编程的意义 —— 用科技关爱他人。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上，我坐在书桌前，笔记本打开着，思绪在脑海中飞速运转，脑海中浮现着各种细节”可知，第一段可描写作者想专门为老人设计一款“提醒App”，并描写设计过程和决心。 ②由第二段首句内容“一周后，我向Davis女士展示了我的项目情况”可知，第二段可描写Davis女士对这款App的认可以及作者向Mrs. Thompson演示其使用方式，最后描写作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：明确设计理念，专为老人设计的一款“提醒App”—— 设计过程和决心 ——向Ms. Davis展示项目并获得认可 ——向Mrs. Thompson演示App的使用方法 —— 感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①决心做：decide to do/be determined to do/make up one’s mind to do ②测试、检验：test/check/examine ③专注于：focus on/share/concentrate on ④称赞：praise/think highly of/speak highly of 情绪类 ①高兴的：delighted/pleased/cheerful ②亲切的：kind/ genial 【点睛】[高分句型1].
