Seldom had she felt such heavy pressure to complete a project within a strict time limit. Her grandmother, recently kept in a plain and simple hospital room, deeply missed her beloved rose garden, which used to be her entire world. Determined to bring back her grandmother’s lost joy, Maya decided on a bold plan; she would build a virtual reality paradise entirely from the beginning. The initial design phase proved far more challenging than expected. Faced with endless technical problems, Maya spent countless sleepless nights working on software errors. Her fingers flying across the keyboard, she coded carefully to build every single petal and leaf again. With the equipment setup finally completed after three weeks of hard work, Maya gently placed the heavy VR glasses over her grandmother’s tired eyes. Everyone in the quiet hospital room held their breath anxiously. Suddenly, the old woman cried out in soft surprise. Instead of the sad white walls, a lively digital garden appeared around her, full of softly moving roses and the gentle sound of virtual bees. Determined to perfectly copy the natural movement of the ancient willow trees, Maya had frequently studied outdoor videos late into the night. To make the experience truly believable, she even added a smart fan system in the room to create a gentle spring breeze. Reaching out to touch a digital butterfly, her grandmother let a tear roll down her wrinkled cheek. “Thank you for everything, my sweet girl,” she whispered, holding her hands together in deep gratitude. “It feels exactly like home.” Technology is frequently blamed for separating today’s youth from the real world, but Maya proved the exact opposite. Her lines of code did far more than simply run a computer program; they successfully built a digital bridge — connecting a sick patient in bed straight back to the life she loved. 4. What motivated Maya to create the virtual reality project? A. To practice advanced programming skills. B. To bring her bedridden grandma comfort. C. To test out a newly purchased VR headset. D. To win a school digital design competition. 5. What made the virtual experience feel incredibly real? A. The physical breeze generated by a fan. B. The high-quality screen of the monitor. C. The real flowers placed around the bed. D. The cheerful music playing in the room. 6. How did the grandmother most likely feel when experiencing the virtual garden? A. Amazed but somewhat doubtful. B. Deeply touched and grateful. C. Saddened and deeply homesick. D. Pleased but extremely tired. 7. What would be the most suitable title for this text? A. A High-Tech Medical Treatment B. A Teenage Programming Genius C. A Digital Bridge Built by Love D. A Virtual Reality Hospital Tour 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述少女玛雅编写代码打造虚拟玫瑰园，用VR技术给住院的奶奶带去慰藉与欢乐的暖心故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Her grandmother, recently kept in a plain and simple hospital room, deeply missed her beloved rose garden, which used to be her entire world. Determined to bring back her grandmother’s lost joy, Maya decided on a bold plan; she would build a virtual reality paradise entirely from the beginning.(她的祖母最近住在一间朴素简陋的病房里，十分思念她心爱的玫瑰园，那片园子曾经是她的全部世界。玛雅决心找回祖母逝去的快乐，于是定下一个大胆的方案：她要从零开始搭建一个虚拟现实乐园。)”可知，玛雅制作这个虚拟现实项目是为了给卧病在床的奶奶带来慰藉。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To make the experience truly believable, she even added a smart fan system in the room to create a gentle spring breeze. (为了让体验足够真实可信，她甚至在房间加装智能风扇系统，制造柔和的春风。)”可知，风扇产生的真实微风让虚拟体验格外真实。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Reaching out to touch a digital butterfly, her grandmother let a tear roll down her wrinkled cheek. “Thank you for everything, my sweet girl,” she whispered, holding her hands together in deep gratitude. “It feels exactly like home.”(奶奶伸手去触碰一只数字蝴蝶，一滴泪水从布满皱纹的脸颊滑落。“谢谢你所做的一切，我亲爱的孩子，”她低声说道，满怀感激地双手合十。“这感觉就和家里一模一样。”)”可知，奶奶内心十分感动并且充满感激。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是尾段中的“Her lines of code did far more than simply run a computer program; they successfully built a digital bridge — connecting a sick patient in bed straight back to the life she loved.(她写下的代码不只是运行电脑程序；它们成功搭建起一座数字桥梁，将卧病的老人直接带回她热爱的生活。)”可知，全文讲述玛雅用爱搭建数字桥梁，让奶奶重获美好体验，“一座由爱搭建的数字桥梁”最适合作为标题。 C Researchers from the University of Buenos Aires have successfully used a robotic tutor to teach the male chingolo, a kind of small bird in South America, a song that was once part of the species’ culture but had been lost for more than half a century. Male chingolos learn their unique, two-second melody from adult males. “It is a distinctive song — like a fingerprint, but learned,” says one of the researchers. “It serves to attract females and protect territory. It is the birds’ way of saying, ‘This is me, and here I am.’” However, urbanization and habitat loss have broken this learning chain, causing local song “dialects” to disappear. Driven by this problem, researchers took on a pioneering task: bringing back a song that had disappeared from the wild — known only from a musical record made in the 1960s — to a population of chingolos. Using physics-based modeling of the birds’ vocal tract (声道), the team first created an accurate artificial version of the lost song. They then engineered this model into a physical device designed to broadcast the forgotten melody — a “robotic tutor”. This artificial song was introduced to the chingolos in a park during their critical learning period from October to February. The sessions took place during peak singing hours and were limited to a maximum of eight hours. There were random pauses in between so that the birds interpreted the playback from the three devices placed in the area as a real exchange, as if these devices were responding to each other. This stimulated the birds’ vocal responses. The results were impressive. Young chingolos learned and adopted the song, though they added their own population’s “accent” to the final trill (颤音), which showed that their singing is shaped by learned behaviors and inborn characteristics. “This is about preserving not just genetic, but cultural biodiversity,” says another researcher. The team is now developing AI systems to automatically identify individual bird songs and planning to study cultural spread in bird populations to ensure that bird culture is not lost again. 8. Why did the researchers teach the birds the song? A. To save an endangered species. B. To study the birds’ brain structure. C. To develop new robotic devices. D. To preserve the birds’ cultural heritage. 9. What is a role of chingolos’ song? A. It keeps hunters away from them. B. It helps them adapt to urban growth. C. It functions as their social identity. D. It makes them remember their habitat. 10. What is the purpose of the random pauses? A. To protect the birds’ vocal tract. B. To test the birds’ reaction speed. C. To push the birds to catch the beat. D. To trick the birds into interaction. 11. What do the birds’ learning results suggest? A. Young birds simply copy what they hear. B. Birds song reflects both learning and nature. C. Local accents make new songs hard to learn. D. Bird populations develop songs independently. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍科研人员利用机器人导师，成功让南美一种小鸟重新学会消失半个多世纪的鸟鸣，保护鸟类文化多样性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““This is about preserving not just genetic, but cultural biodiversity,” says another researcher. The team is now developing AI systems to automatically identify individual bird songs and planning to study cultural spread in bird populations to ensure that bird culture is not lost again. (另一位研究人员说：“这不仅仅是为了保护基因多样性，也是为了保护文化多样性。”该团队正在开发人工智能系统，用来自动识别鸟类个体鸣唱，并计划研究鸟类种群中的文化传播，确保鸟类文化不再消失)”可知，研究者教鸟儿鸣叫是为了保护鸟类的文化遗产。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““It is a distinctive song — like a fingerprint, but learned,” says one of the researchers. “It serves to attract females and protect territory. It is the birds’ way of saying, ‘This is me, and here I am.’”(这是一种独特的鸣唱——如同指纹一般，但却是后天习得的。它用来吸引雌鸟、保卫领地。这是鸟儿表达“这就是我，我就在这里”的方式。)”可知，这种鸟鸣充当它们的社会身份。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“There were random pauses in between so that the birds interpreted the playback from the three devices placed in the area as a real exchange, as if these devices were responding to each other. This stimulated the birds’ vocal responses.(播放过程中设置随机停顿，让鸟儿把三台设备的播放声当成真实交流，仿佛设备之间在互相回应。这激发鸟儿做出鸣叫回应)”可知，随机停顿的目的是诱使鸟儿产生互动。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The results were impressive. Young chingolos learned and adopted the song, though they added their own population’s “accent” to the final trill (颤音), which showed that their singing is shaped by learned behaviors and inborn characteristics.(年轻的南美歌鹀学会并接受了这支鸣唱，不过它们会在最后的颤音里加入自己种群的 “口音”，这说明它们的鸣唱同时受后天习得行为和先天特质影响)”可知，鸟类的鸣唱既反映后天学习也反映先天本性。 D Although photovoltaic cells (光伏电池) and wind turbines (涡轮机) were invented almost 150 years ago, they still generate only 7% of the world’s electricity today. This might appear to show limited progress. Nevertheless, the situation is changing rapidly: over the past decade, these renewable technologies have grown faster than any other energy source, as their costs continue to fall and make them competitive with fossil fuels. BP, an energy enterprise, expects renewables to account for half of the growth in global energy supply over the next 20 years. It is no longer hard to believe that the world is entering an era of clean, unlimited and cheap power, where society could rely less on polluting fossil fuels and more on sustainable energy sources. However, there is a $20-trillion hitch. In the coming decades, huge amounts of investment will be needed to replace old polluting power plants, upgrade outdated infrastructure (基础设施), and improve the power lines that deliver electricity reliably to homes and businesses. Normally investors enjoy putting their money into electricity because it brings reliable returns. Yet green energy has a dirty secret. The more it is used, the more it drives down the price of electricity from all sources. That makes it difficult to manage the transition to a carbon-free future, when many kinds of power generation, both clean and dirty, need to remain profitable. Unless the market is fixed, subsidies (补贴) to the industry will only grow. Policymakers are beginning to see this problem as a reason to slow down the use of renewable energy. In some parts of Europe and China, investment in renewables is falling because subsidies have been reduced. However, the answer is not to use less wind and solar power, but to rethink how clean energy is priced so that it can be used more effectively, thereby helping energy providers remain profitable and enabling clean energy to contribute fully to a sustainable, low-carbon energy future. 12. What do we know about renewable energy according to the first paragraph? A. Its costs are still higher than fossil fuels. B. It faces no financial or market challenges. C. It generates most of the world’s electricity. D. It is growing fastest and becoming cheaper. 13. What does the underlined word “hitch” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Opportunity. B. Problem. C. Solution. D. Advantage. 14. Why does the transition to a carbon-free future become difficult? A. Green energy increases the overall cost of electricity generation. B. Falling prices make many types of power generation unprofitable. C. Investors are no longer investing in the global electricity industry. D. The government has stopped providing subsidies for green energy. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Better pricing may support clean energy growth. B. Lower subsidies may improve energy efficiency. C. Slower expansion may protect energy providers. D. Higher prices may attract more investment. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍可再生能源发展迅速、成本持续下降，但同时存在资金与定价难题，需要重新设计定价机制。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Nevertheless, the situation is changing rapidly: over the past decade, these renewable technologies have grown faster than any other energy source, as their costs continue to fall and make them competitive with fossil fuels.(然而，形势正在迅速变化：在过去十年里，这些可再生技术的发展速度超过其他任何能源，因为它们的成本持续下降，足以和化石燃料竞争。)”可知，可再生能源发展速度最快并且价格越来越低。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“However, there is a $20-trillion hitch. In the coming decades, huge amounts of investment will be needed to replace old polluting power plants, upgrade outdated infrastructure, and improve the power lines that deliver electricity reliably to homes and businesses.(然而，这里存在一个价值20万亿美元的hitch。在未来几十年，需要巨额资金替换老旧污染电厂、升级基础设施、改造输电线路。)”可知，前文提到可再生能源发展前景向好，后文转而指出需要巨额投资的阻碍，因此“hitch”的意思是“难题、障碍”。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The more it is used, the more it drives down the price of electricity from all sources. That makes it difficult to manage the transition to a carbon-free future, when many kinds of power generation, both clean and dirty, need to remain profitable.(它被使用得越多，它就越压低来自所有能源的电价。这使得向无碳未来的转型很难推进，此时许多种类的发电方式，无论是清洁的还是有污染的，都需要保持盈利。)”可知，电价下跌让很多发电项目难以盈利，造成转型困难。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“However, the answer is not to use less wind and solar power, but to rethink how clean energy is priced so that it can be used more effectively, thereby helping energy providers remain profitable and enabling clean energy to contribute fully to a sustainable, low-carbon energy future.(然而，解决办法不是减少风能和太阳能的使用，而是重新思考清洁能源如何定价，以便它能够被更高效地利用，从而帮助能源供应商保持盈利，并使清洁能源能够充分助力一个可持续、低碳的能源未来。)”可知，合理优化定价方式能够支撑清洁能源持续发展。 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。 Most students know the feeling: an essay is due tomorrow and could be finished without much trouble, yet instead of beginning, they tidy their desks or check their phones. Researchers say this habit of putting things off is rarely laziness; it is usually a way of escaping the discomfort a task creates ____16____ That is why the habit is worth breaking. The good news is that putting things off is a habit, not a fixed personality — and habit can be rebuilt. One effective way is to break a large task into small, clear steps.____17____ Each small step gives the brain a sense of progress, and the desire to continue usually grows after we begin, not before. Changing how we talk to ourselves helps too. Many students are held back not by the difficulty of a task but by the fear that the result will not be good enough. If a friend felt anxious about starting, we would hardly call them lazy; we might remind them that a rough beginning is still a beginning.____18____ A third way is to make the start rewarding. Pair the first minutes of work with something pleasant — music, a warm drink, a clean desk — and plan a short break after each finished part. ____19____ Then, remind yourself that the discomfort of beginning usually passes quickly. Each time you start, you prove to your brain that beginning is possible — and often rewarding. None of these methods asks for perfection.____20____ Every tiny step— opening the file, writing one sentence, reading one page— teaches the brain to move toward what matters instead of away from discomfort. Over time, those small starts add up to something powerful. A. A little reward makes the first step less punishing. B. Students need to feel ready before they take the first step. C. Instead of the whole essay, promise yourself one opening sentence. D. The escape brings relief at first, but the delay ends in greater stress later. E. Small steps, kindness, and rewards can turn delay into a lasting habit of beginning. F. Blaming ourselves strengthens our wish to avoid the task, while kindness makes starting much easier. G. Many students say they often work best under pressure and wait until the very last minute to begin. 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. F 19. A 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍拖延并非懒惰，讲解几种改掉拖延习惯的实用方法，引导人们主动迈出行动的第一步。 【16题详解】 根据空前的“Researchers say this habit of putting things off is rarely laziness; it is usually a way of escaping the discomfort a task creates.(研究人员表示，这种拖延的习惯很少是懒惰造成的；它通常是一种逃避任务带来不适感的方式。)”以及空后的“That is why the habit is worth breaking.(这就是这个习惯值得改掉的原因。)”可知，前文点明拖延是逃避不适的方式，空格需要说明这种逃避行为带来的弊端，解释为什么要改掉拖延。D选项“The escape brings relief at first, but the delay ends in greater stress later (这种逃避起初会让人放松，但拖延最后会带来更大的压力)”中的The escape承接上文逃避任务的行为，前后因果逻辑成立。故选D项。 【17题详解】 根据空前的“One effective way is to break a large task into small, clear steps.(一个有效的办法是把一项大任务拆分成清晰的小步骤。)”以及空后的“Each small step gives the brain a sense of progress, and the desire to continue usually grows after we begin not before.(每一个小步骤都会给大脑带来成就感，想要继续下去的意愿往往是开始之后才产生，而不是开始之前。)”可知，本段中心是拆分大任务为小任务，空格需要给出拆分任务的具体例子。C选项“Instead of the whole essay, promise yourself one opening sentence (不要想着完成整篇文章，只要求自己写出一个开头句)”对应前文拆分任务的策略，贴合后文对小步骤作用的论述。 【18题详解】 根据空前的“Changing how we talk to ourselves helps too. Many students are held back not by the difficulty of a task but by the fear that the result will not be good enough. If a friend felt anxious about starting, we would hardly call them lazy; we might remind them that a rough beginning is still a beginning.(改变我们的内心独白同样有用。很多学生受阻，并非因为任务本身很难，而是害怕结果不够理想。如果朋友害怕开始，我们不会骂他懒，我们会包容他，告诉他不完美的开端也是开端)”可知，前文建议我们友善对待焦虑的朋友，本段主题是改变自我对话的方式，空格需要延伸到自我态度，对比自责和善待自己带来的不同结果。F选项“Blaming ourselves strengthens our wish to avoid the task, while kindness makes starting much easier (自我责备会加剧我们逃避任务的想法，而善待自己会让着手做事容易很多)”承接上文。 【19题详解】 根据空前的“A third way is to make the start rewarding. Pair the first minutes of work with something pleasant — music, a warm drink, a clean desk — and plan a short break after each finished part.(第三种方法是让开始的过程有回报。把刚开始工作的几分钟和令人愉悦的事情搭配在一起——音乐、热饮、整洁的书桌，并且在完成每一部分之后安排短暂休息。)”以及空后的“Then, remind yourself that the discomfort of beginning usually passes quickly.(然后提醒自己，开始时的不适感通常很快就会消失。)”可知，本段围绕“给起步设置奖励”展开，空格说明奖励带来的效果。A选项“A little reward makes the first step less punishing (一点奖励会让迈出第一步不再那么难熬)”呼应本段主旨，语义连贯。 【20题详解】 根据空前的“None of these methods asks for perfection.(这些方法都不要求做到完美。)”以及空后的“Every tiny step — opening the file, writing one sentence, reading one page — teaches the brain to move toward what matters instead of away from discomfort.(每一个微小的步骤——打开文档、写一句话、读一页书——都在训练大脑朝着重要的事前进，而不是逃避不适感。)”可知，空格起到总结全文三种方法的作用，对应前文拆分小步骤、自我善待、设置奖励这三点。E选项“Small steps, kindness, and rewards can turn delay into a lasting habit of beginning (小步骤、自我善待和奖励可以把拖延转变为愿意着手行动的稳定习惯)”概括全文三条策略，总结整篇文章。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15 小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A Devoted Dog As the Camp Fire continued, killing at least 85 people and displacing thousands more in Northern California, Madison, a shepherd dog, waited there.

Vera, the head of her class’s booth, was known for her carefulness and sense of responsibility. Her best friend, Evan, was warm-hearted but a little careless, so he was put in charge of attracting customers and carrying boxes. On the day of the bazaar, the school yard was crowded and lively. Students called out, selling cookies, bookmarks, and handmade paintings, and the donation box filled up quickly. Vera was busy counting money and recording every sale, while Evan ran back and forth carrying goods. Meanwhile, a quiet boy named Kevin stayed in the crowd near the donation box, though nobody paid him any attention. When the bazaar ended, the class gathered to count the money and found one hundred yuan short. The teacher asked if anyone had noticed anything unusual. A classmate said Evan had been alone beside the donation box in the afternoon and had looked nervous. Evan’s face turned red, and he kept repeating, “I didn’t take it,” but the doubtful looks around him made his voice shake. Then a scene flashed back to Vera. In the busiest moment of the afternoon, when Evan was carrying a pile of boxes outside, she had seen Kevin’s hand slip into the donation box and out in a flash, a banknote disappearing into his pocket. She had been about to cry out when Kevin looked up, his face pale and his eyes pleading. As the class separated, Kevin stopped Vera in the hallway. “Please don’t tell anyone,” he begged in a low, trembling voice. “My family is going through a hard time, and my mother has been ill. I know it was wrong — I just couldn’t help it.” Before she could reply, he turned and hurried away, leaving Vera rooted to the spot, her mind in turmoil (混乱). 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, Vera lay awake, Kevin’s pale face staying in her mind. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, Vera walked up to Kevin with her heart racing. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: That night, Vera lay awake, Kevin’s pale face staying in her mind all the time. She felt terribly painful. If she told the truth right away, Kevin would get punished badly for taking the money; but if she kept silent, Evan would be wrongly accused forever and their class would lose the money raised for mountain children. After careful thought, she came up with a better idea. She decided not to report Kevin immediately. Instead, she would talk with him privately, persuade him to return the money and explain his real difficulty properly to the teacher. The next morning, Vera walked up to Kevin with her heart racing. She told him she wouldn’t expose him on condition that he returned the 100 yuan and turned to the teacher for help with his mother’s illness. Ashamed, Kevin nodded in tears. Later, they went to the teacher together. The teacher forgave Kevin and arranged help for his family. Evan’s name was cleared, and Vera learned that kindness works better than simple blame when dealing with mistakes. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述学校举办慈善义卖，清点钱款时少了一百元，Evan遭大家怀疑。Vera知晓是Kevin拿走钱，Kevin恳求她保密，Vera内心十分纠结的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Vera彻夜思考，权衡利弊后想出妥善解决这件事的办法。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写Vera和Kevin沟通，劝说他归还钱款并一起求助老师，误会解开，Vera懂得善意胜于指责。 2. 续写线索：彻夜纠结——思索方案——私下交谈——认错归还——求助老师——感悟道理 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①劝说：persuade/talk him into/convince ②原谅：forgive/pardon/show mercy to 情绪类 ①痛苦的：painful/miserable/grievous ②羞愧：ashamed/feel guilty/be filled with shame 【点睛】【高分句型1】If she told the truth right away, Kevin would get punished badly for taking the money; but if she kept silent, Evan would be wrongly accused forever and their class would lose the money raised for mountain children.（运用了if引导的条件状语从句以及过去分词短语作后置定语） 【高分句型2】Evan’s name was cleared, and Vera learned that kindness works better than simple blame when dealing with mistakes.（运用了状语从句的省略结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三英语二 时量:120 分钟 满分:150分 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，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段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音放两遍。 1.

B Staring at lines of complex code glowing on her multiple screens, 15-year-old Maya rubbed her tired, aching eyes. Seldom had she felt such heavy pressure to complete a project within a strict time limit. Her grandmother, recently kept in a plain and simple hospital room, deeply missed her beloved rose garden, which used to be her entire world. Determined to bring back her grandmother’s lost joy, Maya decided on a bold plan; she would build a virtual reality paradise entirely from the beginning. The initial design phase proved far more challenging than expected. Faced with endless technical problems, Maya spent countless sleepless nights working on software errors. Her fingers flying across the keyboard, she coded carefully to build every single petal and leaf again. With the equipment setup finally completed after three weeks of hard work, Maya gently placed the heavy VR glasses over her grandmother’s tired eyes. Everyone in the quiet hospital room held their breath anxiously. Suddenly, the old woman cried out in soft surprise. Instead of the sad white walls, a lively digital garden appeared around her, full of softly moving roses and the gentle sound of virtual bees. Determined to perfectly copy the natural movement of the ancient willow trees, Maya had frequently studied outdoor videos late into the night. To make the experience truly believable, she even added a smart fan system in the room to create a gentle spring breeze. Reaching out to touch a digital butterfly, her grandmother let a tear roll down her wrinkled cheek. “Thank you for everything, my sweet girl,” she whispered, holding her hands together in deep gratitude. “It feels exactly like home.” Technology is frequently blamed for separating today’s youth from the real world, but Maya proved the exact opposite. Her lines of code did far more than simply run a computer program; they successfully built a digital bridge — connecting a sick patient in bed straight back to the life she loved. 4. What motivated Maya to create the virtual reality project? A. To practice advanced programming skills. B. To bring her bedridden grandma comfort. C. To test out a newly purchased VR headset. D. To win a school digital design competition. 5. What made the virtual experience feel incredibly real? A. The physical breeze generated by a fan. B. The high-quality screen of the monitor. C. The real flowers placed around the bed. D. The cheerful music playing in the room. 6. How did the grandmother most likely feel when experiencing the virtual garden? A. Amazed but somewhat doubtful. B. Deeply touched and grateful. C. Saddened and deeply homesick. D. Pleased but extremely tired. 7. What would be the most suitable title for this text? A. A High-Tech Medical Treatment B. A Teenage Programming Genius C. A Digital Bridge Built by Love D. A Virtual Reality Hospital Tour C Researchers from the University of Buenos Aires have successfully used a robotic tutor to teach the male chingolo, a kind of small bird in South America, a song that was once part of the species’ culture but had been lost for more than half a century. Male chingolos learn their unique, two-second melody from adult males. “It is a distinctive song — like a fingerprint, but learned,” says one of the researchers. “It serves to attract females and protect territory. It is the birds’ way of saying, ‘This is me, and here I am.’” However, urbanization and habitat loss have broken this learning chain, causing local song “dialects” to disappear. Driven by this problem, researchers took on a pioneering task: bringing back a song that had disappeared from the wild — known only from a musical record made in the 1960s — to a population of chingolos. Using physics-based modeling of the birds’ vocal tract (声道), the team first created an accurate artificial version of the lost song. They then engineered this model into a physical device designed to broadcast the forgotten melody — a “robotic tutor”. This artificial song was introduced to the chingolos in a park during their critical learning period from October to February. The sessions took place during peak singing hours and were limited to a maximum of eight hours. There were random pauses in between so that the birds interpreted the playback from the three devices placed in the area as a real exchange, as if these devices were responding to each other. This stimulated the birds’ vocal responses. The results were impressive. Young chingolos learned and adopted the song, though they added their own population’s “accent” to the final trill (颤音), which showed that their singing is shaped by learned behaviors and inborn characteristics. “This is about preserving not just genetic, but cultural biodiversity,” says another researcher. The team is now developing AI systems to automatically identify individual bird songs and planning to study cultural spread in bird populations to ensure that bird culture is not lost again. 8. Why did the researchers teach the birds the song? A. To save an endangered species. B. To study the birds’ brain structure. C. To develop new robotic devices. D. To preserve the birds’ cultural heritage. 9. What is a role of chingolos’ song? A. It keeps hunters away from them. B. It helps them adapt to urban growth. C. It functions as their social identity. D. It makes them remember their habitat. 10. What is the purpose of the random pauses? A. To protect the birds’ vocal tract. B. To test the birds’ reaction speed. C. To push the birds to catch the beat. D. To trick the birds into interaction. 11. What do the birds’ learning results suggest? A. Young birds simply copy what they hear. B. Birds song reflects both learning and nature. C. Local accents make new songs hard to learn. D. Bird populations develop songs independently. D Although photovoltaic cells (光伏电池) and wind turbines (涡轮机) were invented almost 150 years ago, they still generate only 7% of the world’s electricity today. This might appear to show limited progress. Nevertheless, the situation is changing rapidly: over the past decade, these renewable technologies have grown faster than any other energy source, as their costs continue to fall and make them competitive with fossil fuels. BP, an energy enterprise, expects renewables to account for half of the growth in global energy supply over the next 20 years. It is no longer hard to believe that the world is entering an era of clean, unlimited and cheap power, where society could rely less on polluting fossil fuels and more on sustainable energy sources. However, there is a $20-trillion hitch. In the coming decades, huge amounts of investment will be needed to replace old polluting power plants, upgrade outdated infrastructure (基础设施), and improve the power lines that deliver electricity reliably to homes and businesses. Normally investors enjoy putting their money into electricity because it brings reliable returns. Yet green energy has a dirty secret. The more it is used, the more it drives down the price of electricity from all sources. That makes it difficult to manage the transition to a carbon-free future, when many kinds of power generation, both clean and dirty, need to remain profitable. Unless the market is fixed, subsidies (补贴) to the industry will only grow. Policymakers are beginning to see this problem as a reason to slow down the use of renewable energy. In some parts of Europe and China, investment in renewables is falling because subsidies have been reduced. However, the answer is not to use less wind and solar power, but to rethink how clean energy is priced so that it can be used more effectively, thereby helping energy providers remain profitable and enabling clean energy to contribute fully to a sustainable, low-carbon energy future. 12. What do we know about renewable energy according to the first paragraph? A. Its costs are still higher than fossil fuels. B. It faces no financial or market challenges. C. It generates most of the world’s electricity. D. It is growing fastest and becoming cheaper. 13. What does the underlined word “hitch” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Opportunity. B. Problem. C. Solution. D. Advantage. 14. Why does the transition to a carbon-free future become difficult? A. Green energy increases the overall cost of electricity generation. B. Falling prices make many types of power generation unprofitable. C. Investors are no longer investing in the global electricity industry. D. The government has stopped providing subsidies for green energy. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Better pricing may support clean energy growth. B. Lower subsidies may improve energy efficiency. C. Slower expansion may protect energy providers. D. Higher prices may attract more investment. 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。 Most students know the feeling: an essay is due tomorrow and could be finished without much trouble, yet instead of beginning, they tidy their desks or check their phones. Researchers say this habit of putting things off is rarely laziness; it is usually a way of escaping the discomfort a task creates ____16____ That is why the habit is worth breaking. The good news is that putting things off is a habit, not a fixed personality — and habit can be rebuilt. One effective way is to break a large task into small, clear steps.____17____ Each small step gives the brain a sense of progress, and the desire to continue usually grows after we begin, not before. Changing how we talk to ourselves helps too. Many students are held back not by the difficulty of a task but by the fear that the result will not be good enough. If a friend felt anxious about starting, we would hardly call them lazy; we might remind them that a rough beginning is still a beginning.____18____ A third way is to make the start rewarding. Pair the first minutes of work with something pleasant — music, a warm drink, a clean desk — and plan a short break after each finished part. ____19____ Then, remind yourself that the discomfort of beginning usually passes quickly.

Vera, the head of her class’s booth, was known for her carefulness and sense of responsibility. Her best friend, Evan, was warm-hearted but a little careless, so he was put in charge of attracting customers and carrying boxes. On the day of the bazaar, the school yard was crowded and lively. Students called out, selling cookies, bookmarks, and handmade paintings, and the donation box filled up quickly. Vera was busy counting money and recording every sale, while Evan ran back and forth carrying goods. Meanwhile, a quiet boy named Kevin stayed in the crowd near the donation box, though nobody paid him any attention. When the bazaar ended, the class gathered to count the money and found one hundred yuan short. The teacher asked if anyone had noticed anything unusual. A classmate said Evan had been alone beside the donation box in the afternoon and had looked nervous. Evan’s face turned red, and he kept repeating, “I didn’t take it,” but the doubtful looks around him made his voice shake. Then a scene flashed back to Vera. In the busiest moment of the afternoon, when Evan was carrying a pile of boxes outside, she had seen Kevin’s hand slip into the donation box and out in a flash, a banknote disappearing into his pocket. She had been about to cry out when Kevin looked up, his face pale and his eyes pleading. As the class separated, Kevin stopped Vera in the hallway. “Please don’t tell anyone,” he begged in a low, trembling voice. “My family is going through a hard time, and my mother has been ill. I know it was wrong — I just couldn’t help it.” Before she could reply, he turned and hurried away, leaving Vera rooted to the spot, her mind in turmoil (混乱). 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, Vera lay awake, Kevin’s pale face staying in her mind. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, Vera walked up to Kevin with her heart racing. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
