It can autonomously navigate (巡航) outdoor environments, following you like a futuristic pet. A supersmart wheelchair Billed as a “smart everyday vehicle,” the Strutt EV1 electric motorized chair is marketed to everyone, whether they have mobility challenges or simply want a cool, voice-controlled ride. The EV1 uses sensors and cameras to make a continuously updated 3D map of its surroundings, detecting obstacles and independently planning safe routes. An all-in-one ring Compared to wearable health-tracker rings, the lightweight Prolo Ring has a distinct purpose. Worn on your finger, this smart ring lets you control your computer, phone and other devices with simple hand movements — one ring to rule them all. There’s no need for a traditional mouse or touchscreen, making it a magical tool for students and office workers alike. These inventions offer more than a look at what’s new — they show how technology is quietly finding its way into our daily life. 1. What do the Solar Mars Bot and the Strutt EV1 have in common? A. They run on solar power. B. They support remote monitoring. C. They rely on voice control. D. They feature autonomous navigation. 2. What is unique about the Prolo Ring? A. It is developed for the disabled. B. It keeps track of the wearer’s health. C. It is made of lightweight material. D. It serves as a wearable device controller. 3. What is the text? A. A scientific report. B. An exhibition review. C. A product brochure. D. An instructive guide. 【答案】1. D 2. D 3. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了2026年拉斯维加斯消费电子展（CES）上展出的几项具有开创性的科技创新产品及其特点。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据A rolling solar-powered charger部分“It can autonomously navigate (巡航) outdoor environments, following you like a futuristic pet.(它可以在户外环境中自主行进，像一只未来感的宠物一样跟随着你。)”以及A supersmart wheelchair部分“The EV1 uses sensors and cameras to make a continuously updated 3D map of its surroundings, detecting obstacles and independently planning safe routes.(EV1利用传感器和摄像头绘制持续更新的周围环境3D地图，探测障碍物并独立规划安全路线。)”可知，这两款产品都具备自主导航的功能。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据An all-in-one ring部分“Worn on your finger, this smart ring lets you control your computer, phone and other devices with simple hand movements — one ring to rule them all. There’s no need for a traditional mouse or touchscreen, making it a magical tool for students and office workers alike.(戴在手指上，这款智能戒指让你只需简单的手部动作就能控制电脑、手机和其他设备——一枚戒指掌控所有设备。无需传统鼠标或触摸屏，这让它成为了学生和上班族的实用神器。)”可知，这款智能戒指的独特之处在于它可以作为可穿戴的设备控制器，通过手势操作其他电子设备。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The 2026 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the world’s largest tech show, took place in Las Vegas from January 6 to 9.(2026年1月6日至9日，全球最大的科技展会——消费电子展（CES）在拉斯维加斯举办。)”及“Here are a few of the most groundbreaking innovations that point the way forward.(以下是几项最具开创性、指明未来发展方向的创新成果。)”可知，文章是对消费电子展的相关报道与介绍。 When I was a child, I drew a face. A grown-up corrected me quickly with a circle, round eyes, a seven-shaped nose and a curved mouth. I stood confused, for this cold, mechanical pattern felt nothing like the lively faces I knew in real life. As I grew up, I kept wondering how to draw a real face. Once, I got a chance to ask people to draw each other following two rules: never lift the pencil, and never look down at the paper. They could only look at their partner. After a minute, the drawings were terrible but wonderful. Why? Because they had drawn what they truly saw, not what they thought a face should look like. They also did something rare: they made eye-to-eye, face-to-face contact for almost a full minute without looking away. They slowed down, focused fully, and truly noticed another person. That was the secret to drawing “a real face.” Later, as an illustrated journalist, I planned a drawn story about how public libraries served the people. I explored every corner of the library and genuinely connected with the staff. I found with their intentional, public-spirited help, those seemingly ordinary facilities served people in far more meaningful ways. Computers that I assumed were for checking out books or emails were actually lifelines for people searching for jobs and housing. The sinks in the public restroom served as a laundromat (洗衣房) and showers for the homeless. The entirely new and rich truth contributed to my series of breathing drawings. I do not hope everyone becomes an artist, but everyone can learn to see deeply. Slow down, pay attention, and truly observe; you will rediscover love for the world and all people around you. We urgently need this courage — to see each other and ourselves clearly, and to honor the real truth hidden in plain sight. 4. What confused the author in the first paragraph? A. The adult’s serious criticism. B. The lack of clear drawing rules. C. The adult’s fixed way of drawing. D. The strangeness of the adult’s face. 5. Why were the drawings described as “terrible but wonderful” in paragraph 2? A. They were messy but detailed. B. They were rough but lively. C. They appeared ugly but organized. D. They seemed simple but friendly. 6. What do the underlined words “The entirely new and rich truth” refer to in paragraph 3? A. The library’s hidden social service. B. Better maintenance of facilities. C. The intention to help the homeless. D. The discovery of good stories. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Drawing a Magic. B. Discovering the Art. C. Seeing the Real Face. D. Creating Fine Works. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】主要讲述作者从绘画经历中感悟到，摒弃固有模板、用心深度观察，才能看见事物与世界的真实模样。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A grown-up corrected me quickly with a circle, round eyes, a seven-shaped nose and a curved mouth. I stood confused, for this cold, mechanical pattern felt nothing like the lively faces I knew in real life.(一位成年人迅速帮我把画改成了一个圆形的脸框、圆圆的眼睛、七字形的鼻子和弯弯的嘴巴。我满心疑惑，这般冰冷刻板的轮廓，和我现实里鲜活的脸庞截然不同。)”可知，成年人固化、模板化的绘画方式与现实鲜活的人脸不符，让作者感到困惑。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Because they had drawn what they truly saw, not what they thought a face should look like. They also did something rare: they made eye-to-eye, face-to-face contact for almost a full minute without looking away.( 因为他们描绘的是亲眼所见，而非脑海中既定的人脸模样。他们还做出难得的举动：整整一分钟对视凝望，目光始终没有移开。)”可知，这些画作画面粗糙不精致，却是真实观察所得，充满生命力，因此糟糕却美好。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Computers that I assumed were for checking out books or emails were actually lifelines for people searching for jobs and housing. The sinks in the public restroom served as a laundromat and showers for the homeless.(我原本以为仅用于借书、查邮件的电脑，实则是人们求职找房的救命工具，公共洗手间的水池为无家可归者提供洗衣、淋浴的便利。)”可知，图书馆看似普通的设施，暗藏着服务弱势群体的隐性社会功能，由此可知，划线短语指的是图书馆潜藏的社会服务价值。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是尾段中的“I do not hope everyone becomes an artist, but everyone can learn to see deeply. Slow down, pay attention, and truly observe; you will rediscover love for the world and all people around you.(我并非期许人人都成为艺术家，但每个人都能学会用心洞察。放慢脚步、留心细节、真切观察，你会重新爱上这个世界与身边所有人。)”可知，文章以绘画识人、观察图书馆为线索，核心主旨是呼吁人们摆脱固有认知，用心看见真实的人与事物，因此“Seeing the Real Face(窥见真实面容)”最能概括全文核心，适合作为最佳标题。 In an attempt to study soil health, a group of scientists from Australia’s Flinders University planted microphones (麦克风) in the ground to see if the acoustics (声学) of ants and worms would be a solid indicator of biodiversity. “It’s a bit like going to the doctor,” ecologist Jake Robinson told The Guardian. “They put a stethoscope (听诊器) on your chest, take a health check, listen to your beating heart. ... We’re doing something similar in the soil.” Since the sounds created by the tiny living animals in the soil are barely hearable to the human ear, the researchers set up microphones that picked up vibrations from contact with the dirt and then made them louder. Land in Adelaide Hills in South Australia was filled with plants and tiny animals. It was also home to diverse “invertebrate (无脊椎动物) instrumentals,” creating a soil symphony of crackles, pops, and clicks. But unhealthy soil only made dull white noise, according to the research. Because insects and other invertebrates build up soils and improve their nutrient content, their presence underground indicates whether the soil is healthy. “It’s clear acoustic complexity and diversity of our samples are associated with soil invertebrate plentifulness — from earthworms, beetles to ants and spiders — and it seems to be a clear reflection of soil health,” Robinson said in a statement for the university. “This technology holds promise in addressing the global need for more effective soil biodiversity monitoring methods to protect our planet’s most diverse ecosystems.” Until now, traditional methods of studying soil health have included costly DNA tests, or damaging traps and digging to identify these music-makers. But the acoustic method could pave the way for researchers, conservationists, and farmers to detect — and fix — soil degradation (恶化) with ease. “Restoring and monitoring soil biodiversity has never been more important,” Robinson added, sharing that an affordable “rock concert” might be available to more people soon. “We’re trying to popularize it, so everyone can just buy their own little recorder and microphone.” 8. What is the main purpose of the soil acoustic study? A. To record interesting insect conversations. B. To improve the traditional farming methods. C. To find a new way to monitor ecosystem health. D. To collect growth sounds of underground plants. 9. What can be an indicator of healthy soil? A. High in water content. B. The presence of plentiful insects. C. Strong resistance to pests. D. The production of dull white noise. 10. What is a characteristic of the acoustic method? A. High efficiency. B. Zero cost. C. Stable operation. D. Strong systematicness. 11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. Problems of traditional soil tests. B. Urgent need for soil restoration. C. Revolution in rock concert. D. The prospect of acoustic method. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了澳大利亚弗林德斯大学科学家通过在土壤中埋设麦克风、录制蚂蚁和蠕虫等无脊椎动物发出的声音来监测土壤健康和生物多样性的创新研究。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“In an attempt to study soil health, a group of scientists from Australia’s Flinders University planted microphones (扩音器) in the ground to see if the acoustics (声学) of ants and worms would be a solid indicator of biodiversity.(为了研究土壤健康状况，澳大利亚弗林德斯大学的一组科学家在地下放置了收音麦克风，以此探究蚂蚁和蚯蚓活动发出的声学信号，能否作为衡量生物多样性的可靠指标。)”和第五段中的““This technology holds promise in addressing the global need for more effective soil biodiversity monitoring methods to protect our planet’s most diverse ecosystems.”(这项技术有望满足全球需求，助力研发更高效的土壤生物多样性监测手段，以此保护地球上物种最丰富的各类生态系统。)”可知，这项土壤声学研究的主要目的是找到监测生态系统健康的新方法。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Because insects and other invertebrates build up soils and improve their nutrient content, their presence underground indicates whether the soil is healthy.(由于昆虫及其他无脊椎动物能构建土壤、提升土壤养分含量，它们在地下的存在情况可以反映土壤是否健康。)”和第五段中的““It’s clear acoustic complexity and diversity of our samples are associated with soil invertebrate plentifulness — from earthworms, beetles to ants and spiders — and it seems to be a clear reflection of soil health,” Robinson said in a statement for the university.(罗宾逊在该校的一份声明中表示：“很明显，我们采集样本的声音复杂度与多样性，和土壤无脊椎动物的数量密切相关——包括蚯蚓、甲虫、蚂蚁以及蜘蛛——而且这一声学特征能够清晰反映土壤的健康状况。”)”可知，大量昆虫的存在可以作为土壤健康的指标。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Until now, traditional methods of studying soil health have included costly DNA tests, or damaging traps and digging to identify these music-makers. But the acoustic method could pave the way for researchers, conservationists, and farmers to detect — and fix — soil degradation (恶化) with ease.(迄今为止，研究土壤健康的传统方式，要么是成本高昂的 DNA 检测，要么是使用具有破坏性的捕捉装置、挖土采样，来识别这些发出声响的土壤生物。而声学检测法有望为科研人员、环保工作者和农民开辟新途径，让他们能够轻松发现并治理土壤恶化问题。)”和最后一段中的““Restoring and monitoring soil biodiversity has never been more important,” Robinson added, sharing that an affordable “rock concert” might be available to more people soon.(罗宾逊补充道：“修复并监测土壤生物多样性，如今比以往任何时候都更为重要。”他还透露，一种经济实惠的“土壤生物声测法”（戏称 “摇滚音乐会”）不久或将普及，惠及更多人群。)”可知，声学检测法的特点是效率高。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Restoring and monitoring soil biodiversity has never been more important,” Robinson added, sharing that an affordable “rock concert” might be available to more people soon. “We’re trying to popularize it, so everyone can just buy their own little recorder and microphone.”(罗宾逊补充道：“修复和监测土壤生物多样性，如今比以往任何时候都更为重要。”他还表示，一种经济实惠的“摇滚音乐会”式监测方式，不久后或许就能面向更多人普及。“我们正努力推广这项技术，让每个人都能轻松买到小型录音设备和收音麦克风。”)”可知，最后一段主要讲述了声学检测法的发展前景。 When mass commercialism and art mix, artistic integrity often suffers. I acknowledge artists need enough money to live on. Nevertheless, I don’t think art should be about trying to make as much money as humanly possible, and I can’t imagine ever being convinced otherwise. Visual arts have often been a place for artists who stay true to their art to express themselves. Van Gogh sold one painting during his lifetime and is now considered one of the best artists ever to have lived. Although his lack of commercial success was a cause of suffering during his lifetime, it was probably also a source of his uniqueness. Van Gogh did not have artistic agents giving him market feedback, and he didn’t bend to market demands in order to sell his works. The danger of pieces of art being sold for unreasonable amounts of money is that artists turn their works into brands. When art accumulates (积聚) that much commercial value, it starts being seen in the same way as a really flashy car that is too expensive to risk driving. A piece of art gets bought by a millionaire, and to accumulate value and minimize the risk of damage, he keeps it in his private museum. Ultimately, few people get the chance to appreciate it, especially since art museums can’t keep up with rising art prices. Even galleries as big as Tate Britain only have acquisition budgets of £5 million, and with the upcoming government cuts to the arts, this purchasing power will decrease continuously. There’s a reason why Mark Rothko turned down the commission (委托制作) from the Four Seasons Restaurant. Rothko recognized how damaging the idea of making art purely for a paycheck was. He did not want his paintings to be merely used as decorative items in a luxurious restaurant, but hoped that they could be placed in a more suitable place where people could truly feel the spiritual power of his works. 12. How does the author find the commercialization of art? A. Profitable. B. Misleading. C. Unavoidable. D. Destructive. 13. How does the author develop paragraph 2? A. By listing data. B. By analyzing effects. C. By giving examples. D. By making comparisons. 14. What consequence does high-priced art bring? A. It degrades the quality of art. B. It restricts public enjoyment. C. It boosts art galleries’ budget. D. It facilitates massive copying. 15. Which of the following would Mark Rothko agree with? A. Art ought to maintain its purity. B. Art may exist in every little corner. C. Artworks often go unrecognized. D. Artworks are no more than decorations. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】主要探讨艺术商业化对艺术完整性的破坏及相关案例和影响。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When mass commercialism and art mix, artistic integrity often suffers.(当商业大潮与艺术相互交融时，艺术的纯粹性往往会受到损害)”可知，作者认为艺术商业化具有破坏性。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Visual arts have often been a place for artists who stay true to their art to express themselves. Van Gogh sold one painting during his lifetime and is now considered one of the best artists ever to have lived. Although his lack of commercial success was a cause of suffering during his lifetime, it was probably also a source of his uniqueness. Van Gogh did not have artistic agents giving him market feedback, and he didn’t bend to market demands in order to sell his works.(视觉艺术常常是那些坚守艺术本真、敢于表达自我的艺术家们的舞台。梵高在生前仅售出过一幅画作，但如今他却被视为有史以来最杰出的艺术家之一。尽管他在生前未能取得商业上的成功，这给他带来了痛苦，但这也可能是他与众不同的根源所在。梵高没有艺术经纪人来为他提供市场反馈，也没有为了卖出作品而迎合市场需求)”可知，作者在第二段的写作手法是举例子。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“A piece of art gets bought by a millionaire, and to accumulate value and minimize the risk of damage, he keeps it in his private museum. Ultimately, few people get the chance to appreciate it, especially since art museums can’t keep up with rising art prices.(一件艺术品被一位百万富翁买下，为了保值并降低受损风险，他将其存放在自己的私人博物馆中。最终，很少有人有机会欣赏它，尤其是因为艺术博物馆无法跟上艺术品价格不断上涨的趋势)”可知，高价艺术品会限制公众对其的欣赏。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Rothko recognized how damaging the idea of making art purely for a paycheck was. He did not want his paintings to be merely used as decorative items in a luxurious restaurant, but hoped that they could be placed in a more suitable place where people could truly feel the spiritual power of his works.(罗斯科深知那种纯粹为了赚钱而创作艺术的想法是多么有害。他不想自己的画作仅仅被用作豪华餐厅里的装饰品，而是希望它们能被安置在更合适的场所，让人们能够真正感受到其作品所蕴含的精神力量)”可推断，马克·罗斯科认为艺术应该保持其纯粹性，不应沦为商业工具或装饰。 第二节（共5小题：每题2.5分,满分12.5分） There are times in life that call for you to give a good pep talk (加油打气). Maybe your partner just lost his job. Maybe your kid is anxious about returning to school. ____16____ Here are guidelines for crafting meaningful pep talks. Being specific matters. Instead of using vague (含糊的) phrases like “You can do this!”, take time to understand the underlying concerns. For instance, if your younger brother is nervous about giving a speech at his high school graduation, acknowledge his fears directly. Then, offer to go over it with him one more time before the big day. ____17____ Pep talks shouldn’t be reserved for major events alone. We often cheer people on for major challenges, like running a marathon, but overlook everyday struggles. ____18____ That’s why lending support in ordinary times matters. If a friend mentions feeling overwhelmed by daily chores, send a simple message: “I believe in you.” Small gestures can make a big difference, showing care every bit as meaningful as grand support. ____19____ Sometimes, it’s simply about listening, acknowledging someone’s feelings and putting yourself in their shoes. If a friend is upset after losing a pet, assess if they want solutions. If not, offer comfort and acknowledge their pain. Remind them you understand how hard it is, but assure them you’re there. This presence and support can be deeply comforting without needing new insights. Keep it simple. Whether you’re cheering others or lifting your spirits, a pep talk needn’t be complex. Leaving a brief note saying “Don’t give up!” on a colleague’s desk, or sending a message to a friend who failed an exam, expressing belief in their ability to improve, can significantly boost spirits. ____20____ There’s no need for perfection; sometimes, simple, touching words are enough to make a difference. A. Advice isn’t always necessary in a pep talk. B. This shows empathy and provides tailored help. C. Yet it’s these small moments that shape our days. D. A pep talk doesn’t always require a full understanding of others. E. Even for yourself, straightforward encouragement yields great results. F. And sometimes, it’s you yourself that need a boost of encouragement. G. Though time-consuming, the encouragement you give proves to be effective. 【答案】16. F 17. B 18. C 19. A 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了给出有意义加油打气的几条指南，包括具体、日常、倾听、简洁等要点。 【16题详解】 上文“There are times in life that call for you to give a good pep talk (加油打气). Maybe your partner just lost his job. Maybe your kid is anxious about returning to school.(生活中有些时候需要你好好加油打气。也许你的伴侣刚失业，也许你的孩子对返校感到焦虑)”列举了需要给他人打气的场景。空处承接前文，补充打气的对象。选项F“And sometimes, it’s you yourself that need a boost of encouragement.(有时候，你自己也需要鼓励)”补充了自我鼓励的情况，使内容更完整，引出下文打气指南。故选F。 【17题详解】 上文“For instance, if your younger brother is nervous about giving a speech at his high school graduation, acknowledge his fears directly. Then, offer to go over it with him one more time before the big day.(例如，如果你弟弟对高中毕业演讲感到紧张，直接承认他的恐惧，然后在重要日子前陪他再练一遍)”举例说明具体打气的做法。空处总结该做法的效果。选项B“This shows empathy and provides tailored help.(这体现了共情并提供针对性帮助)”中的This指代前文具体安慰的行为，总结其作用，与前文相呼应。故选B。 【18题详解】 上文“We often cheer people on for major challenges, like running a marathon, but overlook everyday struggles.(我们常为重大挑战鼓励他人，如跑马拉松，却忽视日常的挣扎)”指出人们忽视日常小事。空处承接说明日常小事的重要性。选项C“Yet it’s these small moments that shape our days.(然而正是这些小瞬间构成了我们的生活)”与前文形成转折，强调日常小事的意义，与后文“ordinary times matters”相呼应。故选C。 【19题详解】 下文“Sometimes, it’s simply about listening, acknowledging someone’s feelings and putting yourself in their shoes.(有时，打气只是倾听、认可感受、换位思考)”说明打气有时只需倾听而非建议。空处总领本段。选项A“Advice isn’t always necessary in a pep talk.(打气并不总是需要建议)”点明本段主旨，与后文“不需要解决方案、只需陪伴安慰”相呼应。故选 A。 【20题详解】 上文“Whether you’re cheering others or lifting your spirits, a pep talk needn’t be complex. Leaving a brief note saying “Don’t give up!” on a colleague’s desk, or sending a message to a friend who failed an exam, expressing belief in their ability to improve, can significantly boost spirits.(无论你是在鼓励他人，还是在鼓舞自己，打气的话都不必复杂。在同事的桌上留一张写着“别放弃！”的便条，或是给考试失利的朋友发一条信息，表达你相信他们有能力进步，这些都能极大地振奋人心) ”强调鼓励要简洁。空处进一步补充说明。选项E“Even for yourself, straightforward encouragement yields great results.(即使对自己，直接的鼓励也会带来好效果)”承接前文自我鼓励与简洁鼓励的内容，强化观点，与后文“simple, touching words are enough”相呼应。故选E。 第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节。满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题：每题1分。满分15分） Vera sat in front, introverted (内向的) and silent.

These small-scale recreational areas are typically built on ____36____ (regular) or abandoned plots once considered unused. With rapid urbanization, residents in dense cities find it increasingly difficult ____37____ (access) large public parks due to long commutes. Since 2020, municipal governments ____38____ (invest) heavily in transforming neglected corners into vibrant community hubs. Spanning 500 to 5,000 square meters, these parks are designed to serve the immediate needs of nearby inhabitants. Unlike traditional sprawling gardens, they prioritize functionality, often ____39____ (feature) fitness equipment and shaded walkways ____40____ melt seamlessly into the surroundings. The concept corresponds ____41____ China’s broader “ecological civilization” initiative. According to the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, over 8,000 such parks ____42____ (establish) nationwide by the end of last year. Beyond environmental value, they boost social well-being. Elderly citizens practice tai chi, while children chase each other under the canopy of newly planted trees lining the pathways. Planners note that even tiny greenery can ____43____ (low) surface temperatures and improve air quality. The ____44____ (combine) of ecological benefit and social utility makes pocket parks a cornerstone of sustainable city planning. As more cities embrace this trend, the “five-minute walk-to-park” goal is becoming _____45_____ reality for millions of urban dwellers. 【答案】36. irregular 37. to access 38. have invested##have been investing 39. featuring 40. that##which 41. with##to 42. had been established 43. lower 44. combination 45. a 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕中国近年来兴起的口袋公园展开介绍，说明了口袋公园产生的城市化背景、建设规模、功能设计，指出其兼具生态效益与社会价值。 【36题详解】 考查形容词。句意：这些小型休闲区通常建在曾经被认为无法使用的不规则或废弃地块上。由并列连词or可知，空格处需要填入与形容词abandoned并列的定语修饰名词plots；结合语境，口袋公园利用的是城市规划中难以使用、形状不规整的闲置地块，因此需要填regular的反义词irregular，意为“不规则的”。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：随着快速城市化，人口密集城市的居民发现，由于通勤时间长，前往大型公园变得越来越困难。本句使用固定结构“find it+形容词+to do sth”，其中it为形式宾语，真正的宾语是后置的不定式短语，因此此处需要用动词access的不定式形式to access。 【38题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：自2020年以来，市政府已经投入大量资金，将被忽视的城市角落改造为充满活力的社区中心。句中时间状语Since 2020表示动作从过去持续到现在，强调对当前的影响，因此可以使用现在完成时；如果强调投资动作从2020年至今一直在持续进行，也可以使用现在完成进行时；主语municipal governments是复数名词，谓语动词用复数形式。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：和传统杂乱无序拓展的园林不同，它们优先考虑功能性，通常配备健身器材和遮阳步道，这些设施自然融入周边环境。句中已有谓语动词prioritize，空格处需要用非谓语动词作伴随状语；逻辑主语they指代前文的these parks，和动词feature(以……为特色)之间是主动关系，因此用现在分词featuring。 【40题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：和传统杂乱无序拓展的园林不同，它们优先考虑功能性，通常配备健身器材和遮阳步道，这些设施自然融入周边环境。先行词是fitness equipment and shaded walkways，指物，关系词在定语从句中作主语，因此可以用关系代词that或which引导定语从句。 【41题详解】 考查介词。句意：这一理念与中国更广泛的“生态文明”倡议相一致。固定搭配correspond with/ to表示“与……相一致、符合”。 【42题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：根据住房和城乡建设部的数据，到去年年底，全国已经建成了超过8000座这样的公园。时间状语by the end of last year表示截止到过去某一时间点之前发生的事情，需要用过去完成时；主语over 8,000 such parks和动词establish之间是被动关系，因此用过去完成时的被动语态had been established。 【43题详解】 考查动词。句意：规划者指出，即使是小片绿地也可以降低地表温度，改善空气质量。情态动词can后需要接动词原形，并列连词and连接两个谓语动词，给定词low是形容词，对应的动词形式是lower，表示“降低”。 【44题详解】 考查名词。句意：生态效益和社会效用的结合让口袋公园成为可持续城市规划的基石。定冠词The后需要接名词作句子主语，给定词combine是动词，对应的名词形式是combination，the combination of表示“……的结合”。 【45题详解】 考查冠词。句意：随着越来越多的城市接受这一趋势，“五分钟步行到公园”的目标正在成为数百万城市居民的现实。名词reality表示“一件成为现实的具体事情”，为泛指，且reality发音以辅音音素开头，因此用不定冠词a修饰。 第三部分 写作 （共两节，满分40分） 第一节 满分15分 46. 假定你是李华，上周你参加了学校组织的“走进新农村(Exploring New Rural China)”研学活动。请你给新西兰朋友Oliver写一封邮件分享这次经历，内容包括： (1)你的见闻；(2)你的感想。 注意：(1)写作词数应为100左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Dear Oliver, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】A possible version: Dear Oliver, How have you been?

Initially, it was just a little, but then, it seemed like overnight, my face was covered with it. I tried to hide it with my hair, but it just wouldn’t work. I was consumed with worry that my peers would make fun of me. I couldn’t concentrate in class, as my mind was constantly preoccupied with my appearance, causing my grades to slip sharply. I started to feel inferior to my classmates and even avoid interaction with them. I tried to get rid of the acne. I washed my face multiple times a day, using all sorts of acne creams I found. I also avoided snacks that might cause it. But all ended up in vain. One day, our school announced a sports day and the teacher asked us to form our own teams. As a sports enthusiast, I had been eagerly expecting it, but I was scared that no one would join me because of how I looked. Standing in front of the mirror, I kept imagining how my classmates would react when I asked them to team up with me. The fear of rejection held me back from approaching them. But then, Kim came to me, “Do you want to join us for the relay race (接力赛)? I’ve seen you run before and you’ve got the speed. If you join us, we’ll have a good chance to win.” In disbelief, I managed to utter “Yes”, still feeling self-conscious but also incredibly grateful. Along with three other classmates, I signed up for the relay race. We trained and discussed strategies together, with no one paying any attention to my acne. Thanks to my speed advantage, I was even assigned to run the final leg — the most critical role in the race. 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。 Then came the long-awaited sports day. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The victory was a turning point in my junior life. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Then came the long-awaited sports day. My palms were sweaty as I stood at the final position of the track. When the third runner approached, I grabbed the baton firmly and sprinted like the wind. Cheers erupted as I overtook two opponents. Crossing the finish line first, I saw my teammates rushing towards me with joyful screams. To my surprise, classmates patted my shoulder excitedly, their eyes shining with admiration instead of judgment. Kim hugged me, “You’re our superhero!” No one mentioned my acne — they only remembered my flying figure on the track. The victory was a turning point in my junior life. Gradually I realized people valued my abilities more than my appearance. I started raising my hand in class again and joined the school basketball team. Though acne still occasionally troubled me, I stopped hiding behind my hair. When a new student once asked about my skin, Kim immediately defended, “That’s just his warrior paint from saving our relay race!” We all laughed, and I finally understood true friendship sees beyond surfaces. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者进入七年级后因长青春痘而自卑，担心同学嘲笑，成绩下滑，在运动会接力赛报名时，Kim邀请作者加入，作者最终和队友们一起训练并在比赛中获胜的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“终于到了期待已久的运动会了”可知，第一段可描写作者在运动会接力赛上的表现，以及获胜后同学们的反应，突出大家对作者能力的认可，而非关注其青春痘。 ②由第二段首句内容“这次胜利是我初中生活的一个转折点”可知，第二段可描写这次胜利对作者的影响，作者开始积极融入集体，不再因青春痘而自卑，明白了真正的友谊是超越外表的。 2.续写线索：运动会开始——努力比赛——同学欣赏——作者感悟——明白友谊真谛 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①抓住：grab/seize ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③举手：raise one’s hand/put up one’s hand 情绪类 ①激动地：excitedly/with excitement ②欣赏：admiration/appreciation 【点睛】【高分句型2】My palms were sweaty as I stood at the final position of the track.(运用了as引导时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】Gradually I realized people valued my abilities more than my appearance.

The exciting event is where creators reveal devices that promise to reshape everyday experiences. Here are a few of the most groundbreaking innovations that point the way forward. A rolling solar-powered charger Need a convenient, clean-energy charger that doubles as a robot pet? California-based company Jackery has got you covered with its new Solar Mars Bot. Looking like an iPhone on a roller skate, the bot spreads out its solar panels when sensing sunlight, drawing power to charge your devices. It can autonomously navigate (巡航) outdoor environments, following you like a futuristic pet. A supersmart wheelchair Billed as a “smart everyday vehicle,” the Strutt EV1 electric motorized chair is marketed to everyone, whether they have mobility challenges or simply want a cool, voice-controlled ride. The EV1 uses sensors and cameras to make a continuously updated 3D map of its surroundings, detecting obstacles and independently planning safe routes. An all-in-one ring Compared to wearable health-tracker rings, the lightweight Prolo Ring has a distinct purpose. Worn on your finger, this smart ring lets you control your computer, phone and other devices with simple hand movements — one ring to rule them all. There’s no need for a traditional mouse or touchscreen, making it a magical tool for students and office workers alike. These inventions offer more than a look at what’s new — they show how technology is quietly finding its way into our daily life. 1. What do the Solar Mars Bot and the Strutt EV1 have in common? A. They run on solar power. B. They support remote monitoring. C. They rely on voice control. D. They feature autonomous navigation. 2. What is unique about the Prolo Ring? A. It is developed for the disabled. B. It keeps track of the wearer’s health. C. It is made of lightweight material. D. It serves as a wearable device controller. 3. What is the text? A. A scientific report. B. An exhibition review. C. A product brochure. D. An instructive guide. When I was a child, I drew a face. A grown-up corrected me quickly with a circle, round eyes, a seven-shaped nose and a curved mouth. I stood confused, for this cold, mechanical pattern felt nothing like the lively faces I knew in real life. As I grew up, I kept wondering how to draw a real face. Once, I got a chance to ask people to draw each other following two rules: never lift the pencil, and never look down at the paper. They could only look at their partner. After a minute, the drawings were terrible but wonderful. Why? Because they had drawn what they truly saw, not what they thought a face should look like. They also did something rare: they made eye-to-eye, face-to-face contact for almost a full minute without looking away. They slowed down, focused fully, and truly noticed another person. That was the secret to drawing “a real face.” Later, as an illustrated journalist, I planned a drawn story about how public libraries served the people. I explored every corner of the library and genuinely connected with the staff. I found with their intentional, public-spirited help, those seemingly ordinary facilities served people in far more meaningful ways. Computers that I assumed were for checking out books or emails were actually lifelines for people searching for jobs and housing. The sinks in the public restroom served as a laundromat (洗衣房) and showers for the homeless. The entirely new and rich truth contributed to my series of breathing drawings. I do not hope everyone becomes an artist, but everyone can learn to see deeply. Slow down, pay attention, and truly observe; you will rediscover love for the world and all people around you. We urgently need this courage — to see each other and ourselves clearly, and to honor the real truth hidden in plain sight. 4. What confused the author in the first paragraph? A. The adult’s serious criticism. B. The lack of clear drawing rules. C. The adult’s fixed way of drawing. D. The strangeness of the adult’s face. 5. Why were the drawings described as “terrible but wonderful” in paragraph 2? A. They were messy but detailed. B. They were rough but lively. C. They appeared ugly but organized. D. They seemed simple but friendly. 6. What do the underlined words “The entirely new and rich truth” refer to in paragraph 3? A. The library’s hidden social service. B. Better maintenance of facilities. C. The intention to help the homeless. D. The discovery of good stories. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Drawing a Magic. B. Discovering the Art. C. Seeing the Real Face. D. Creating Fine Works. In an attempt to study soil health, a group of scientists from Australia’s Flinders University planted microphones (麦克风) in the ground to see if the acoustics (声学) of ants and worms would be a solid indicator of biodiversity. “It’s a bit like going to the doctor,” ecologist Jake Robinson told The Guardian. “They put a stethoscope (听诊器) on your chest, take a health check, listen to your beating heart. ... We’re doing something similar in the soil.” Since the sounds created by the tiny living animals in the soil are barely hearable to the human ear, the researchers set up microphones that picked up vibrations from contact with the dirt and then made them louder. Land in Adelaide Hills in South Australia was filled with plants and tiny animals. It was also home to diverse “invertebrate (无脊椎动物) instrumentals,” creating a soil symphony of crackles, pops, and clicks. But unhealthy soil only made dull white noise, according to the research. Because insects and other invertebrates build up soils and improve their nutrient content, their presence underground indicates whether the soil is healthy. “It’s clear acoustic complexity and diversity of our samples are associated with soil invertebrate plentifulness — from earthworms, beetles to ants and spiders — and it seems to be a clear reflection of soil health,” Robinson said in a statement for the university. “This technology holds promise in addressing the global need for more effective soil biodiversity monitoring methods to protect our planet’s most diverse ecosystems.” Until now, traditional methods of studying soil health have included costly DNA tests, or damaging traps and digging to identify these music-makers. But the acoustic method could pave the way for researchers, conservationists, and farmers to detect — and fix — soil degradation (恶化) with ease. “Restoring and monitoring soil biodiversity has never been more important,” Robinson added, sharing that an affordable “rock concert” might be available to more people soon. “We’re trying to popularize it, so everyone can just buy their own little recorder and microphone.” 8. What is the main purpose of the soil acoustic study? A. To record interesting insect conversations. B. To improve the traditional farming methods. C. To find a new way to monitor ecosystem health. D. To collect growth sounds of underground plants. 9. What can be an indicator of healthy soil? A. High in water content. B. The presence of plentiful insects. C. Strong resistance to pests. D. The production of dull white noise. 10. What is a characteristic of the acoustic method? A. High efficiency. B. Zero cost. C. Stable operation. D. Strong systematicness. 11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. Problems of traditional soil tests. B. Urgent need for soil restoration. C. Revolution in rock concert. D. The prospect of acoustic method. When mass commercialism and art mix, artistic integrity often suffers. I acknowledge artists need enough money to live on. Nevertheless, I don’t think art should be about trying to make as much money as humanly possible, and I can’t imagine ever being convinced otherwise. Visual arts have often been a place for artists who stay true to their art to express themselves. Van Gogh sold one painting during his lifetime and is now considered one of the best artists ever to have lived. Although his lack of commercial success was a cause of suffering during his lifetime, it was probably also a source of his uniqueness. Van Gogh did not have artistic agents giving him market feedback, and he didn’t bend to market demands in order to sell his works. The danger of pieces of art being sold for unreasonable amounts of money is that artists turn their works into brands. When art accumulates (积聚) that much commercial value, it starts being seen in the same way as a really flashy car that is too expensive to risk driving. A piece of art gets bought by a millionaire, and to accumulate value and minimize the risk of damage, he keeps it in his private museum. Ultimately, few people get the chance to appreciate it, especially since art museums can’t keep up with rising art prices. Even galleries as big as Tate Britain only have acquisition budgets of £5 million, and with the upcoming government cuts to the arts, this purchasing power will decrease continuously. There’s a reason why Mark Rothko turned down the commission (委托制作) from the Four Seasons Restaurant. Rothko recognized how damaging the idea of making art purely for a paycheck was. He did not want his paintings to be merely used as decorative items in a luxurious restaurant, but hoped that they could be placed in a more suitable place where people could truly feel the spiritual power of his works. 12. How does the author find the commercialization of art? A. Profitable. B. Misleading. C. Unavoidable. D. Destructive. 13. How does the author develop paragraph 2? A. By listing data. B. By analyzing effects. C. By giving examples. D. By making comparisons. 14. What consequence does high-priced art bring? A. It degrades the quality of art. B. It restricts public enjoyment. C. It boosts art galleries’ budget. D. It facilitates massive copying. 15. Which of the following would Mark Rothko agree with? A. Art ought to maintain its purity. B. Art may exist in every little corner. C. Artworks often go unrecognized. D. Artworks are no more than decorations. 第二节（共5小题：每题2.5分,满分12.5分） There are times in life that call for you to give a good pep talk (加油打气). Maybe your partner just lost his job. Maybe your kid is anxious about returning to school. ____16____ Here are guidelines for crafting meaningful pep talks. Being specific matters. Instead of using vague (含糊的) phrases like “You can do this!”, take time to understand the underlying concerns. For instance, if your younger brother is nervous about giving a speech at his high school graduation, acknowledge his fears directly. Then, offer to go over it with him one more time before the big day. ____17____ Pep talks shouldn’t be reserved for major events alone. We often cheer people on for major challenges, like running a marathon, but overlook everyday struggles. ____18____ That’s why lending support in ordinary times matters. If a friend mentions feeling overwhelmed by daily chores, send a simple message: “I believe in you.” Small gestures can make a big difference, showing care every bit as meaningful as grand support. ____19____ Sometimes, it’s simply about listening, acknowledging someone’s feelings and putting yourself in their shoes. If a friend is upset after losing a pet, assess if they want solutions. If not, offer comfort and acknowledge their pain. Remind them you understand how hard it is, but assure them you’re there. This presence and support can be deeply comforting without needing new insights. Keep it simple. Whether you’re cheering others or lifting your spirits, a pep talk needn’t be complex. Leaving a brief note saying “Don’t give up!” on a colleague’s desk, or sending a message to a friend who failed an exam, expressing belief in their ability to improve, can significantly boost spirits. ____20____ There’s no need for perfection; sometimes, simple, touching words are enough to make a difference. A. Advice isn’t always necessary in a pep talk. B. This shows empathy and provides tailored help. C. Yet it’s these small moments that shape our days. D. A pep talk doesn’t always require a full understanding of others. E. Even for yourself, straightforward encouragement yields great results. F. And sometimes, it’s you yourself that need a boost of encouragement. G. Though time-consuming, the encouragement you give proves to be effective. 第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节。满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题：每题1分。满分15分） Vera sat in front, introverted (内向的) and silent.

Initially, it was just a little, but then, it seemed like overnight, my face was covered with it. I tried to hide it with my hair, but it just wouldn’t work. I was consumed with worry that my peers would make fun of me. I couldn’t concentrate in class, as my mind was constantly preoccupied with my appearance, causing my grades to slip sharply. I started to feel inferior to my classmates and even avoid interaction with them. I tried to get rid of the acne. I washed my face multiple times a day, using all sorts of acne creams I found. I also avoided snacks that might cause it. But all ended up in vain. One day, our school announced a sports day and the teacher asked us to form our own teams. As a sports enthusiast, I had been eagerly expecting it, but I was scared that no one would join me because of how I looked. Standing in front of the mirror, I kept imagining how my classmates would react when I asked them to team up with me. The fear of rejection held me back from approaching them. But then, Kim came to me, “Do you want to join us for the relay race (接力赛)? I’ve seen you run before and you’ve got the speed. If you join us, we’ll have a good chance to win.” In disbelief, I managed to utter “Yes”, still feeling self-conscious but also incredibly grateful. Along with three other classmates, I signed up for the relay race. We trained and discussed strategies together, with no one paying any attention to my acne. Thanks to my speed advantage, I was even assigned to run the final leg — the most critical role in the race. 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。 Then came the long-awaited sports day. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The victory was a turning point in my junior life. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
