C．Adaptability. 【答案】18．B 19．B 20．C 【原文】M: When we talk about the future of work, many people fear that AI and robots will replace most human jobs, but this view is far too simple. The real change ahead is not human versus machine, but human working with machine. As technology advances, most routine, repetitive tasks in offices and industries will be automated efficiently, yet human beings still hold the key to unique skills like creativity, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence. The era of a “job for life” is already over, and in the coming years, many of us will have multiple careers rather than just different jobs. This means continuous learning will be non-negotiable for anyone who wants to stay relevant in their career. And the most critical skill for the future won’t be a single technical ability like coding or data analysis — it will be adaptability: the ability to learn new things, unlearn outdated knowledge, and relearn constantly. So the best way to prepare now is not to focus on mastering one so-called “safe” skill, but to cultivate a growth mindset and build a diverse set of transferable skills, such as communication, collaboration, project management and cross-field thinking. Investing in your ability to learn and adapt is the most reliable investment in your future career. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）TechForward is looking for local residents to be the first to test its new smart home assistant — a voice-controlled helper that simplifies daily tasks, like setting reminders, adjusting lights, checking the weather, and playing music.

Innovations have happened so fast that the “old way” of doing things from 20 years ago now feels like a centuries-wide gap. As a result, senior citizens sometimes feel left behind for lack of knowledge in technology and the language around how it is used. Daily banking, neighborhood communication and shopping have become more difficult for those who grew up relying on a checkbook and a postal address. Even entertainment is complicated with subscriptions and services. Recently, young Aadi Kulkarni often watched his grandmother struggle to join family Zoom calls, open attachments and fill out online medical forms. It was more than staying connected in an online world; Kulkarni realized an entire generation struggled with weakening dignity and confidence. He also wanted his own generation to have the same type of respectful relationship he had with his grandmother. “What if,” he thought, “students like me, who grew up with technology, could help seniors like her feel less left behind?” So he founded TechPals. Kulkarni began with a few friends at the local library. They started by teaching the basics of smartphones. What he thought would be a few sessions turned into regularly scheduled events. Classes expanded to help seniors develop texting skills, use FaceTime, and, most importantly, recognize online scams (诈骗). To date, Kulkarni and TechPals have held over 150 hands-on workshops at libraries, senior centers and retirement homes, in addition to offering online training sessions. More than 5,000 seniors have benefited. “I’ve learned that social impact doesn’t have to require millions of dollars or a massive platform,” says Kulkarni. “Sometimes, it starts with a few students, a library room and the courage to show up.” Digital literacy crosses the divide to help every generation access the amazing new world that technology has delivered to our living rooms. But technology is best when added to face-to-face relationships — like that created when a seasoned grandmother connects with a young grandson and both are eager to learn from each other. 24．(2.5分)What is the main idea of paragraph 2? A．New technology is progressing rapidly. B．A gap appears between generations. C．The elderly struggle with technology. D．Daily activities rely more on digital tools now. 25．(2.5分)Why did Kulkarni set up TechPals? A．To improve community life. B．To popularize digital knowledge. C．To build his own management skills. D．To enable seniors to join family Zoom calls. 26．(2.5分)What does the phrase “a seasoned grandmother” imply in the last paragraph? A．She has lived through many hardships. B．She is good at adding seasonings to food. C．She is mature and experienced in life. D．She is familiar with traditional ways of life. 27．(2.5分)Which words can best describe Kulkarni? A．Considerate and responsible. B．Learned and talented. C．Generous and honest. D．Courageous and ambitious. 【答案】24．C 25．B 26．C 27．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了青年Aadi Kulkarni因目睹祖母面对网络和科技的困惑和懵懂，从而创立TechPals组织，教授老年人数字技能的故事。 【详解】24．主旨大意题。根据第二段“As a result, senior citizens sometimes feel left behind for lack of knowledge in technology and the language around how it is used. Daily banking, neighborhood communication and shopping have become more difficult for those who grew up relying on a checkbook and a postal address. Even entertainment is complicated with subscriptions and services.(因此，老年人有时会因缺乏相关技术知识以及对其使用方式的了解而感到被排斥。对于那些从小依赖支票簿和邮政地址生活的人来说，日常的银行业务、邻里间的交流以及购物都变得更加困难了。就连娱乐活动也变得复杂起来，因为涉及到订阅和各种服务。)”可知，该段主旨是老年人在面对科技时遇到困难。故选C项。 25．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Kulkarni realized an entire generation struggled with weakening dignity and confidence. He also wanted his own generation to have the same type of respectful relationship he had with his grandmother.(Kulkarni意识到，整整一代人都在经历着尊严和自信的不断丧失。他希望自己的这一代人也能拥有与他与祖母之间那种相互尊重的关系。)”和第四段““What if,” he thought, “students like me, who grew up with technology, could help seniors like her feel less left behind?”(他心想：“要是像我这样熟悉科技的学生能够帮助像她这样的老年人更好地融入社会，那该多好啊？”)”可知，Kulkarni建立TechPals是为了普及数字知识。故选B项。 26．词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“both are eager to learn from each other (双方都渴望相互学习)”可知，这种代际关系涉及“双向学习”，孙子的优势是全文铺垫的数字技术，因此祖母所能提供的，必然是与之形成互补的人生阅历与智慧。由此可知，该短语描绘的是一位经岁月沉淀而经验丰富、成熟老练的祖母形象，与“她成熟且有生活经验”含义一致。故选C项。 27．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Kulkarni realized an entire generation struggled with weakening dignity and confidence. He also wanted his own generation to have the same type of respectful relationship he had with his grandmother. (Kulkarni意识到，整整一代人都在经历着尊严和自信的不断丧失。他希望自己的这一代人也能拥有与他与祖母之间那种相互尊重的关系。)”和第五段“So he founded TechPals. Kulkarni began with a few friends at the local library. They started by teaching the basics of smartphones. What he thought would be a few sessions turned into regularly scheduled events.(于是他创立了TechPals组织。Kulkarni最初是和几位朋友在当地的图书馆一起开展活动的。他们起初只是教授智能手机的基础知识。他原本以为只是几节课的活动，结果却变成了定期举行的活动。)”可知，Kulkarni能体察到祖母乃至整个老年群体的困境，并主动采取行动去解决这个问题，这体现了他为他人着想的“体贴”和解决问题的“责任感”。故选A项。 （本题10分）For thousands of years, humans have dreamed of exploring outer space. This ancient dream has finally come true with the development of modern aerospace technology. Space exploration, known for high costs and strict technical requirements, has become an important sign of a country’s scientific strength. In the early days, space exploration projects were completely controlled by government space agencies. At that time, rocket launch and space equipment maintenance cost a huge amount of money. Ordinary private companies did not have enough money or technology to join this field. However, with technological progress, modern reusable rockets and simple space equipment have appeared. More private space companies have taken part in space research, bringing new development chances to this field. Though space exploration sounds far from daily life, it actually brings many practical benefits to ordinary people. Weather satellites can watch atmospheric and ocean changes in real time, helping people predict natural disasters and reduce losses. Space positioning technology supports smart transportation and global logistics. Besides, new materials created for space exploration are now widely used in medical devices and sports equipment. Space observation also helps scientists find new planets for future human exploration. However, space exploration still faces many unavoidable problems. Long-term stay in space will harm astronauts’ bones and cardiovascular health. Cosmic radiation may damage human body cells. What’s more, plenty of waste space equipment has become space debris. These fast-moving fragments may hit working satellites, causing serious safety problems for future space activities. Despite these technical and safety challenges, space exploration is still of great value. It not only helps humans know more about the universe but also encourages young people to study science. In the long run, space exploration will keep pushing human civilization forward. 28．(2.5分)What can we know about early space exploration? A．Wide private participation. B．Total government control. C．Low-cost rocket use. D．Civilian-tech improvement. 29．(2.5分)What practical benefit does space technology bring? A．Better transport management. B．Improved magnetic environment. C．Instant planet migration. D．Enhanced physical health. 30．(2.5分)What is the author’s view on current space exploration? A．Easy-to-solve technical problems. B．Space debris as the top threat. C．Minor radiation influence. D．Various restricting risks. 31．(2.5分)What is the author’s attitude toward space exploration? A．Critical. B．Doubtful. C．Uncertain. D．Cautiously optimistic. 【答案】28．B 29．A 30．D 31．D 【导语】文章主要介绍太空探索发展、民用益处、现存难题与作者乐观态度。 【详解】28．细节理解题。 根据第二段中“In the early days, space exploration projects were completely controlled by government space agencies.(早期，太空探索项目完全由政府航天机构控制。)”可知，早期的太空探索完全由政府控制。 29．细节理解题。 根据第三段中“Space positioning technology supports smart transportation and global logistics.(太空定位技术支持智慧交通和全球物流。)”可知，太空技术带来了更好的交通管理。 30．推理判断题。 根据第四段“Long-term stay in space will harm astronauts’ bones and cardiovascular health. Cosmic radiation may damage human body cells. What’s more, plenty of waste space equipment has become space debris. These fast-moving fragments may hit working satellites, causing serious safety problems for future space activities.(长期驻留太空会损害宇航员的骨骼与心血管健康。宇宙辐射可能损伤人体细胞。此外，大量废弃航天设备形成了太空碎片。这些高速飞行的碎块有可能撞击正常运行的卫星，给未来太空活动带来严重安全隐患。)”可知，当前的太空探索面临着多种限制性风险。 31．推理判断题。 根据第五段“Despite these technical and safety challenges, space exploration is still of great value. It not only helps humans know more about the universe but also encourages young people to study science. In the long run, space exploration will keep pushing human civilization forward.(尽管存在这些技术与安全层面的难题，太空探索依旧具备重大价值。它不仅帮助人类加深对宇宙的认知，还能激励青少年钻研科学。长远来看，太空探索会持续推动人类文明向前发展。)”可知，作者在承认挑战的同时肯定了太空探索的价值，持谨慎乐观的态度。 （本题10分）Visit an antique shop and you may find photographs, letters, or old brochures from decades ago. These objects were never designed to last forever, yet many have survived. Their physical form gives them a chance to remain part of the historical record. This raises an important question: will today’s digital information survive as successfully? For centuries, historians have relied on physical objects that endured even when their creators made no special effort to preserve them. A letter or photograph carries its information in the object itself. Digital information is different. It depends on devices, software, and file formats, all of which may become outdated. Saving a digital object, therefore, does not always mean saving the information inside it. Libraries and archives (档案馆) have long organized, preserved, and provided access to information. By digitizing physical collections, librarians allow researchers around the world to search materials quickly. Yet this success can make libraries seem less necessary. When people say that “everything is on a phone,” they often forget the careful work that made such access possible and the continuing effort required to maintain it. The danger becomes clear when we think about an old ZIP disk. The disk may still exist, but the files on it may be impossible to open because the necessary equipment or software has disappeared. Without regularly moving digital information into new formats, parts of the historical record may suddenly become unreadable. Future researchers could face a serious gap beginning when digital materials replaced physical ones. No complete solution to digital preservation yet exists. However, librarians and archivists are working to identify, organize, transfer, and protect digital materials. They also understand how researchers search for and use information. Their work cannot guarantee that every digital record will survive, but it can prevent the digital past from becoming inaccessible. Preserving digital history will remain difficult, yet professional care can ensure that future researchers find it challenging rather than impossible. In this sense, preservation is not an automatic process but a continuing responsibility. 32．(2.5分)What causes digital information to be at risk of loss? A．Its huge amount of data. B．Its high cost of daily maintenance. C．Its poor storage conditions. D．Its reliance on changing technology. 33．(2.5分)What misconception about libraries does the author point out? A．Digital access makes them unnecessary. B．They prefer to store physical materials. C．Researchers no longer need archives. D．Digitizing collections is very easy. 34．(2.5分)Why does the author mention the old ZIP disk? A．To introduce a popular storage device. B．To show the short lifespan of hardware. C．To prove the necessity of format updates. D．To compare different digital saving methods. 35．(2.5分)What is the main idea of the text? A．Accessing databases is essential to researchers. B．Keeping digital historical records is a challenge. C．Hard work should be done to preserve artifacts. D．The contribution of libraries should be recognized. 【答案】32．D 33．A 34．C 35．B 【导语】本文讲述了实体物件可长久留存历史信息，但数字信息依赖设备、软件与文件格式，容易失效；图书馆档案人员需持续维护，保存数字历史是一项长期的责任。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第二段“Digital information is different. It depends on devices, software, and file formats, all of which may become outdated. (数字信息不一样。它依赖设备、软件以及文件格式，而这些都有可能过时。)”可知，数字信息面临丢失风险是因为它依赖不断变化的技术。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段“Yet this success can make libraries seem less necessary. When people say that “everything is on a phone,” they often forget the careful work that made such access possible and the continuing effort required to maintain it. (然而这份成功会让图书馆显得不那么必要。当人们说“所有东西都在手机上”时，常常忘了实现这种访问背后繁杂的工作以及维持它所需持续付出的努力。)”可知，作者指出人们误以为数字化让图书馆不再必要，但实际上背后有大量工作。 34．推理判断题。根据第四段“The disk may still exist, but the files on it may be impossible to open because the necessary equipment or software has disappeared. Without regularly moving digital information into new formats, parts of the historical record may suddenly become unreadable. (磁盘或许还在，但磁盘里的文件可能无法打开，因为配套的设备或软件已经消失。如果不把数字信息定期转换为新格式，部分历史记录就会突然无法读取。)”可知，作者举老式ZIP磁盘例子，是为了证明更新文件格式十分必要。 35．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Preserving digital history will remain difficult, yet professional care can ensure that future researchers find it challenging rather than impossible. In this sense, preservation is not an automatic process but a continuing responsibility. (保存数字历史依旧困难重重，但专业的维护可以让后世研究者虽面临难题却不至于完全无法获取资料。从这个意义上讲，保存并非自动完成，而是一份持续的责任。)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要说明保存数字历史记录是一项挑战。 （本题12.5分）On September 9, Apple entered the foldable phone market with the iPhone Duo, its first folding phone. For a company whose every move leads the industry, this was no small event. 36(2.5分) Huawei had in fact moved before Apple. Two days before the Apple event, it unveiled its second tri-fold flagship, the Mate XT2, putting it on sale before the iPhone Duo could even be pre-ordered. 37(2.5分) The message to consumers was plain: Huawei had no intention of giving up its ground. Huawei’s confidence rests on hard numbers. In the first half of 2026, it held roughly two-thirds of China’s foldable market. 38(2.5分) No other company came close. 39(2.5分) In evaluating the iPhone Duo, Huawei sees more opportunity than threat. Many analysts agree: Apple’s entry has finally made the foldable form impossible to doubt, and the company best placed to profit from a bigger market is the one that already leads it. Production targets for Huawei’s foldable lines are said to be rising for the second half of the year. Rather than narrowing its defense, Huawei is widening it. Beyond the tri-fold Mate XT2, it is reportedly developing another book-style foldable with a 7.6-inch main screen, one that looks much like the iPhone Duo on paper. 40(2.5分) All of these devices run on Huawei’s own Kirin chips and HarmonyOS — a sign that the battle for the future of folding phones has only begun. A．Many buyers, however, say they would rather wait for a second generation. B．This second model is expected to appear within months, giving Huawei an Apple-style answer of its own. C．Huawei first entered the foldable market in 2019 with its original Mate X. D．That confidence, however, tells only half the story. E．This early strike was carefully timed to seize the spotlight before Apple could own it. F．Yet the louder answer to it would come from its strongest challenger in China, Huawei. G．Such dominance took years of patient work to build. 【答案】36．F 37．E 38．G 39．D 40．B 【导语】文章主要介绍苹果推出首款折叠手机iPhone Duo，华为抢先发布三折叠机型，二者在折叠屏市场展开竞争。 【详解】36．根据上文提供的信息“On September 9, Apple entered the foldable phone market with the iPhone Duo, its first folding phone. For a company whose every move leads the industry, this was no small event.(9月9日，苹果凭借iPhone Duo进入折叠手机市场，这是它的首款折叠手机。对于一家一举一动都引领行业的公司来说，这可不是小事)”可知，上文提出苹果发布折叠手机这一行业大事件，后文段落转而介绍华为的抢先动作，空格需要过渡句引出华为。F选项“Yet the louder answer to it would come from its strongest challenger in China, Huawei.(然而，对此更响亮的回应来自它在中国最强劲的对手，华为)”中的代词it指代苹果发布折叠手机这件事，句子起到承上启下的作用，自然引出下文华为的举措。 37．根据上文提供的信息“Huawei had in fact moved before Apple. Two days before the Apple event, it unveiled its second tri-fold flagship, the Mate XT2, putting it on sale before the iPhone Duo could even be pre-ordered.(事实上华为行动早于苹果。苹果发布会前两天，它发布第二款三折叠旗舰Mate XT2，在iPhone Duo开启预售前就开售)”可知，上文描述华为抢在苹果之前发布新机，空格需要对该行为进行总结评价。E选项“This early strike was carefully timed to seize the spotlight before Apple could own it.(这次抢先出击精心选好了时机，意在在苹果抢占关注度之前夺得焦点)”中的This early strike指代华为抢先发布新机的行为，对上文事件进行解读，衔接后文华为不愿让出市场的态度。 38．根据上文提供的信息“In the first half of 2026, it held roughly two-thirds of China’s foldable market.(2026年上半年，它占据中国折叠屏市场大约三分之二的份额)”以及下文“No other company came close.(没有其他公司能望其项背)”可知，上文给出华为超高市场份额的数据，下文强调无人能及。空格承接这个市场优势，说明这种优势不是凭空得来。G选项“Such dominance took years of patient work to build.(这样的主导地位是历经多年潜心经营才建立起来的)”中的Such dominance指代上文三分之二的市场占有率，衔接前后两句。 39．根据上文提供的信息“Huawei’s confidence rests on hard numbers.(华为的信心建立在实打实的数据之上)”以及下文“In evaluating the iPhone Duo, Huawei sees more opportunity than threat.(在评估iPhone Duo时，华为看到的更多是机遇而非威胁)”可知，上文讲华为基于数据充满信心，下文转换视角，讨论苹果入局带来的市场机遇，存在语义转折。D选项“That confidence, however, tells only half the story.(然而，这份信心只说明了一半情况)”中的That confidence指代上文中华为依托市场数据产生的信心，通过转折开启新一层论述。 40．根据上文提供的信息“Beyond the tri-fold Mate XT2, it is reportedly developing another book-style foldable with a 7.6-inch main screen, one that looks much like the iPhone Duo on paper.(除三折叠Mate XT2之外，据报道它正在研发另一款横向折叠手机，主屏7.6英寸，理论外观很像iPhone Duo)”可知，上文介绍华为正在研发一款新折叠机型，空格继续介绍这款新机。B选项“This second model is expected to appear within months, giving Huawei an Apple-style answer of its own.(这第二款机型预计几个月内亮相，让华为拥有属于自己的对标苹果的产品)”中的This second model指代上文提到的正在研发的横向折叠新机，承接上文新机信息，引出后面全部设备搭载麒麟芯片和鸿蒙系统的内容。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Most 10-year-olds spend their free time playing video games, but Ernesto is different.

Leo, a quiet and thoughtful boy, had a deep passion for robotics. For months, he had secretly been working on a project he called “Project GreenHand” — a small, solar-powered robot designed to help water the plants and check soil wetness in the school’s community garden. He believed it could make a real difference. However, there was a problem. His best friend, Sam, was also entering the fair with a flashy drone (无人机) that could take overhead photos. Everyone thought Sam would win easily. When Sam saw Leo’s simple robot, he laughed. “Come on, Leo, that looks like a shoebox with wheels. Build something cooler.” Leo felt his face burn with embarrassment. He looked down at his creation — it wasn’t beautiful, but every wire and sensor was placed with care. He remembered the hours spent studying solar energy and coding. However, comparing his plain robot to Sam’s high-tech drone, Leo realized a cruel truth: in a contest of “coolness”, practical use might not matter. If the judges found it boring, all his efforts would be a joke. Leo’s heart sank. Maybe Sam was right. Maybe his project was too simple to win. The next day, Leo decided to give up. He put “Project GreenHand” in a box and pushed it to the back of his closet (壁橱). When the day of the fair arrived, Leo walked through the gym, feeling empty. He saw Sam’s drone flying high, attracting a crowd of cheering students. Just then, he noticed Mr. Green, a school gardener sitting alone on a bench near the garden, looking tired. Leo walked over. “Mr. Green, are you okay?” he asked. The old man sighed. “It’s just so much work, Leo. My back is hurting, and the garden is so big. I wish I had a helper.” A sudden thought struck Leo. He didn’t need a big fair to prove his idea was good. He needed to show it could help. 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。 Leo took out his robot and brought it straight to the garden. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon, the news of “Project GreenHand” spread across the school. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】(one possible version) Leo took out his robot and brought it straight to the garden. He quickly switched on the robot, whose solar panels caught the sunlight and started to work steadily. Moving slowly and gently, the robot precisely checked soil wetness and watered the dry plants one by one. Seeing the simple robot do all the dull garden work, Mr. Green’s face broke into a bright smile. He sighed with relief, saying it was exactly the helper he had long wished for. A warm sense of pride filled Leo’s heart, making him realize the true value of his creation. Soon, the news of “Project GreenHand” spread across the school. Crowds of students came to watch the practical robot work in the garden, and even Sam was astonished by its great performance. At the Science Fair, Leo didn’t win the first prize, but he won a special Community Impact Award. The headmaster spoke highly of his work, stating that the essence of science is solving real-life problems. Leo finally understood that cool high-tech devices are never superior to creations that bring warmth and convenience to life. 【导语】 本文以人物为线索展开。利奥痴迷机器人，悄悄研制出可为社区花园浇水的太阳能机器人“绿手”。遭好友嘲笑后他一度灰心弃赛，却在科学博览会当天偶遇疲惫的园丁，顿悟实用价值远胜虚名，决心让发明真正帮到人。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段句首可知，第一段可以描写利奥把机器人带到花园并启动，格林先生目睹机器人大幅减轻园艺劳作后的欣慰反应，最后写利奥内心的自豪，体会发明的意义。 ②由第二段句首可知，第二段可以描写机器人的事迹在校内传开，同学们纷纷前来围观，再介绍科学博览会的结果，利奥虽未拿一等奖却斩获社区影响力特别奖；借校长发言点明科学的核心是解决生活实际问题，结尾升华主旨：能给生活带去温暖便利的发明远比炫酷高科技更珍贵。 2. 续写线索：拿出园艺机器人带到花园 —— 机器人自动浇灌绿植 —— 格林先生十分欣慰，认可这个帮手 —— 利奥心生自豪感 —— 发明项目在校内传开，众人围观赞叹 —— 科技展收获特色奖项，领悟科学真正的价值 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①启动：switch on →turn on/power up ②解决：solve → address/tackle 情绪类 ①惊讶的：astonished → amazed/shocked ②宽慰：relief → ease/comfort 【点睛】【高分句型1】He quickly switched on the robot, whose solar panels caught the sunlight and started to work steadily.

Listen to the next question. When we talk about the future of work, many people fear that I and robots will replace most human jobs. But this view is far too simple. The change ahead is not human versus machine, but human working with machine. As technology advances, most routine repetitive tasks in offices and industries will be automated efficiently, yet human being still hold the key to unique skills like creativity, critical thinking and emotional intelligence. The era of a job for life is already over, and in the coming years, many of us will have multiple careers rather than just different jobs. This means continuous learning will be non negotiable for anyone who wants to stay relevant in their career, and the most critical skill for the future won't be a single technical ability like coating or data analysis. IT will be adaptability, the ability to learn new things, unlearn outdated knowledge, and relearn constantly, so the best way to prepare now is not to focus on mastering one so called safe skill, but to cultivate a growth mindset and build a diverse set of transferable skills such as communication, collaboration, project management, and cross field thinking. Investing in your ability to learn and adapt is the most reliable investment in your future career.

The era of a job for life is already over, and in the coming years, many of us will have multiple careers rather than just different jobs. This means continuous learning will be non negotiable for anyone who wants to stay relevant in their career, and the most critical skill for the future won't be a single technical ability like coating or data analysis. IT will be adaptability, the ability to learn new things, unlearn outdated knowledge, and release constantly, so the best way to prepare now is not to focus on mastering one so called safe skill, but to cultivate a growth mindset and build a diverse set of transferable skills such as communication, collaboration, project management and cross field thinking. Sting in your ability to learn and adapt is the most reliable investment in your future career. 听力部分到此结束。 高中英语单元测试——Unit 4 Living with Technology（适中版02） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）What causes the man’s monthly bill to vary?

Innovations have happened so fast that the “old way” of doing things from 20 years ago now feels like a centuries-wide gap. As a result, senior citizens sometimes feel left behind for lack of knowledge in technology and the language around how it is used. Daily banking, neighborhood communication and shopping have become more difficult for those who grew up relying on a checkbook and a postal address. Even entertainment is complicated with subscriptions and services. Recently, young Aadi Kulkarni often watched his grandmother struggle to join family Zoom calls, open attachments and fill out online medical forms. It was more than staying connected in an online world; Kulkarni realized an entire generation struggled with weakening dignity and confidence. He also wanted his own generation to have the same type of respectful relationship he had with his grandmother. “What if,” he thought, “students like me, who grew up with technology, could help seniors like her feel less left behind?” So he founded TechPals. Kulkarni began with a few friends at the local library. They started by teaching the basics of smartphones. What he thought would be a few sessions turned into regularly scheduled events. Classes expanded to help seniors develop texting skills, use FaceTime, and, most importantly, recognize online scams (诈骗). To date, Kulkarni and TechPals have held over 150 hands-on workshops at libraries, senior centers and retirement homes, in addition to offering online training sessions. More than 5,000 seniors have benefited. “I’ve learned that social impact doesn’t have to require millions of dollars or a massive platform,” says Kulkarni. “Sometimes, it starts with a few students, a library room and the courage to show up.” Digital literacy crosses the divide to help every generation access the amazing new world that technology has delivered to our living rooms. But technology is best when added to face-to-face relationships — like that created when a seasoned grandmother connects with a young grandson and both are eager to learn from each other. 24．(2.5分)What is the main idea of paragraph 2? A．New technology is progressing rapidly. B．A gap appears between generations. C．The elderly struggle with technology. D．Daily activities rely more on digital tools now. 25．(2.5分)Why did Kulkarni set up TechPals? A．To improve community life. B．To popularize digital knowledge. C．To build his own management skills. D．To enable seniors to join family Zoom calls. 26．(2.5分)What does the phrase “a seasoned grandmother” imply in the last paragraph? A．She has lived through many hardships. B．She is good at adding seasonings to food. C．She is mature and experienced in life. D．She is familiar with traditional ways of life. 27．(2.5分)Which words can best describe Kulkarni? A．Considerate and responsible. B．Learned and talented. C．Generous and honest. D．Courageous and ambitious. （本题10分）For thousands of years, humans have dreamed of exploring outer space. This ancient dream has finally come true with the development of modern aerospace technology. Space exploration, known for high costs and strict technical requirements, has become an important sign of a country’s scientific strength. In the early days, space exploration projects were completely controlled by government space agencies. At that time, rocket launch and space equipment maintenance cost a huge amount of money. Ordinary private companies did not have enough money or technology to join this field. However, with technological progress, modern reusable rockets and simple space equipment have appeared. More private space companies have taken part in space research, bringing new development chances to this field. Though space exploration sounds far from daily life, it actually brings many practical benefits to ordinary people. Weather satellites can watch atmospheric and ocean changes in real time, helping people predict natural disasters and reduce losses. Space positioning technology supports smart transportation and global logistics. Besides, new materials created for space exploration are now widely used in medical devices and sports equipment. Space observation also helps scientists find new planets for future human exploration. However, space exploration still faces many unavoidable problems. Long-term stay in space will harm astronauts’ bones and cardiovascular health. Cosmic radiation may damage human body cells. What’s more, plenty of waste space equipment has become space debris. These fast-moving fragments may hit working satellites, causing serious safety problems for future space activities. Despite these technical and safety challenges, space exploration is still of great value. It not only helps humans know more about the universe but also encourages young people to study science. In the long run, space exploration will keep pushing human civilization forward. 28．(2.5分)What can we know about early space exploration? A．Wide private participation. B．Total government control. C．Low-cost rocket use. D．Civilian-tech improvement. 29．(2.5分)What practical benefit does space technology bring? A．Better transport management. B．Improved magnetic environment. C．Instant planet migration. D．Enhanced physical health. 30．(2.5分)What is the author’s view on current space exploration? A．Easy-to-solve technical problems. B．Space debris as the top threat. C．Minor radiation influence. D．Various restricting risks. 31．(2.5分)What is the author’s attitude toward space exploration? A．Critical. B．Doubtful. C．Uncertain. D．Cautiously optimistic. （本题10分）Visit an antique shop and you may find photographs, letters, or old brochures from decades ago. These objects were never designed to last forever, yet many have survived. Their physical form gives them a chance to remain part of the historical record. This raises an important question: will today’s digital information survive as successfully? For centuries, historians have relied on physical objects that endured even when their creators made no special effort to preserve them. A letter or photograph carries its information in the object itself. Digital information is different. It depends on devices, software, and file formats, all of which may become outdated. Saving a digital object, therefore, does not always mean saving the information inside it. Libraries and archives (档案馆) have long organized, preserved, and provided access to information. By digitizing physical collections, librarians allow researchers around the world to search materials quickly. Yet this success can make libraries seem less necessary. When people say that “everything is on a phone,” they often forget the careful work that made such access possible and the continuing effort required to maintain it. The danger becomes clear when we think about an old ZIP disk. The disk may still exist, but the files on it may be impossible to open because the necessary equipment or software has disappeared. Without regularly moving digital information into new formats, parts of the historical record may suddenly become unreadable. Future researchers could face a serious gap beginning when digital materials replaced physical ones. No complete solution to digital preservation yet exists. However, librarians and archivists are working to identify, organize, transfer, and protect digital materials. They also understand how researchers search for and use information. Their work cannot guarantee that every digital record will survive, but it can prevent the digital past from becoming inaccessible. Preserving digital history will remain difficult, yet professional care can ensure that future researchers find it challenging rather than impossible. In this sense, preservation is not an automatic process but a continuing responsibility. 32．(2.5分)What causes digital information to be at risk of loss? A．Its huge amount of data. B．Its high cost of daily maintenance. C．Its poor storage conditions. D．Its reliance on changing technology. 33．(2.5分)What misconception about libraries does the author point out? A．Digital access makes them unnecessary. B．They prefer to store physical materials. C．Researchers no longer need archives. D．Digitizing collections is very easy. 34．(2.5分)Why does the author mention the old ZIP disk? A．To introduce a popular storage device. B．To show the short lifespan of hardware. C．To prove the necessity of format updates. D．To compare different digital saving methods. 35．(2.5分)What is the main idea of the text? A．Accessing databases is essential to researchers. B．Keeping digital historical records is a challenge. C．Hard work should be done to preserve artifacts. D．The contribution of libraries should be recognized. （本题12.5分）On September 9, Apple entered the foldable phone market with the iPhone Duo, its first folding phone. For a company whose every move leads the industry, this was no small event. 36(2.5分) Huawei had in fact moved before Apple. Two days before the Apple event, it unveiled its second tri-fold flagship, the Mate XT2, putting it on sale before the iPhone Duo could even be pre-ordered. 37(2.5分) The message to consumers was plain: Huawei had no intention of giving up its ground. Huawei’s confidence rests on hard numbers. In the first half of 2026, it held roughly two-thirds of China’s foldable market. 38(2.5分) No other company came close. 39(2.5分) In evaluating the iPhone Duo, Huawei sees more opportunity than threat. Many analysts agree: Apple’s entry has finally made the foldable form impossible to doubt, and the company best placed to profit from a bigger market is the one that already leads it. Production targets for Huawei’s foldable lines are said to be rising for the second half of the year. Rather than narrowing its defense, Huawei is widening it. Beyond the tri-fold Mate XT2, it is reportedly developing another book-style foldable with a 7.6-inch main screen, one that looks much like the iPhone Duo on paper. 40(2.5分) All of these devices run on Huawei’s own Kirin chips and HarmonyOS — a sign that the battle for the future of folding phones has only begun. A．Many buyers, however, say they would rather wait for a second generation. B．This second model is expected to appear within months, giving Huawei an Apple-style answer of its own. C．Huawei first entered the foldable market in 2019 with its original Mate X. D．That confidence, however, tells only half the story. E．This early strike was carefully timed to seize the spotlight before Apple could own it. F．Yet the louder answer to it would come from its strongest challenger in China, Huawei. G．Such dominance took years of patient work to build. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Most 10-year-olds spend their free time playing video games, but Ernesto is different.

Leo, a quiet and thoughtful boy, had a deep passion for robotics. For months, he had secretly been working on a project he called “Project GreenHand” — a small, solar-powered robot designed to help water the plants and check soil wetness in the school’s community garden. He believed it could make a real difference. However, there was a problem. His best friend, Sam, was also entering the fair with a flashy drone (无人机) that could take overhead photos. Everyone thought Sam would win easily. When Sam saw Leo’s simple robot, he laughed. “Come on, Leo, that looks like a shoebox with wheels. Build something cooler.” Leo felt his face burn with embarrassment. He looked down at his creation — it wasn’t beautiful, but every wire and sensor was placed with care. He remembered the hours spent studying solar energy and coding. However, comparing his plain robot to Sam’s high-tech drone, Leo realized a cruel truth: in a contest of “coolness”, practical use might not matter. If the judges found it boring, all his efforts would be a joke. Leo’s heart sank. Maybe Sam was right. Maybe his project was too simple to win. The next day, Leo decided to give up. He put “Project GreenHand” in a box and pushed it to the back of his closet (壁橱). When the day of the fair arrived, Leo walked through the gym, feeling empty. He saw Sam’s drone flying high, attracting a crowd of cheering students. Just then, he noticed Mr. Green, a school gardener sitting alone on a bench near the garden, looking tired. Leo walked over. “Mr. Green, are you okay?” he asked. The old man sighed. “It’s just so much work, Leo. My back is hurting, and the garden is so big. I wish I had a helper.” A sudden thought struck Leo. He didn’t need a big fair to prove his idea was good. He needed to show it could help. 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。 Leo took out his robot and brought it straight to the garden. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon, the news of “Project GreenHand” spread across the school. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
