Here are three newly-launched items that combine smart technology with everyday practicality. ON TRACK Screenless fitness trackers are the new trend in wearable workout gear. The first new Fitbit since 2023 enters that market, which competitors like Whoop and Oura have muscled into in recent years. The Fitbit Air is considerably cheaper than those options, and integrates with Google’s updated Health app. The tracker covers basic metrics like heart rate, blood oxygen and motion data during activity and sleep. All data is processed in the app, with an AI coach available for an additional $7.99 per month. Google Fitbit Air £84.99, store.google.com GOOD TIMING If time is running out to meaningfully slow down climate change, here’s a watch to both monitor the countdown and also feel slightly better about it. Detrash is a British watchmaking brand using recycled ocean plastics, steel and fashion industry offcuts (边角料) to create its timepieces. The watches — from dress to dive styles — come in at under £500. Most lines are limited editions, so if you see one you like, time is probably running out. Detrash ‘Midnight Flamingo’ From £375, detrash.com PLASTIC PROGRESS Up to 500,000 tonnes of textile microplastics enter the oceans every year, much from washing machines. Now, effective microplastic filters (过滤器) are being introduced, including a 2025 Moonshot Prize winner. Developed by Bristol-based Matter, the Regen filter can be built into machines or bought separately and installed at home. The company claims 97% effectiveness. It needs emptying every six weeks, with no replacement filters required. Regen Microplastic Filter From £199, matter.industries 1. Which is one of the advantages of the Fitbit Air? A. It is more affordable. B. It works without any app. C. It offers free AI coaching. D. It gathers more health data. 2. What do the Detrash watch and the Regen filter have in common? A. They are offered in limited editions. B. They reduce environmental pollution. C. They are made from recycled plastics. D. They need regular replacement of parts. 3. In which section of a magazine would you probably find this passage? A. Smart Living. B. Wearable Tech. C. User Reviews. D. Green Innovations. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍三款融合智能科技与实用性的创新日常生活产品。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据ON TRACK部分中“The Fitbit Air is considerably cheaper than those options, and integrates with Google’s updated Health app.(Fitbit Air比那些同类产品价格便宜不少，并且可以接入谷歌更新后的健康应用程序。)”可知，Fitbit Air的优势之一是价格更加实惠。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据GOOD TIMING部分中“Detrash is a British watchmaking brand using recycled ocean plastics, steel and fashion industry offcuts (边角料) to create its timepieces.(Detrash是一个英国制表品牌，使用回收海洋塑料、钢材以及时尚行业边角料来制作腕表。)”以及PLASTIC PROGRESS部分中“Up to 500,000 tonnes of textile microplastics enter the oceans every year, much from washing machines. Now, effective microplastic filters (过滤器) are being introduced, including a 2025 Moonshot Prize winner.(每年多达50万吨纺织品微塑料流入海洋，很大一部分来自洗衣机。现在有效的微塑料过滤器问世，其中包括一款2025登月奖获奖产品。)”可知，两款产品都有助于减少环境污染。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“From fitness tracking to sustainable fashion and home appliances, innovative products are changing the way we live. Here are three newly-launched items that combine smart technology with everyday practicality.(从健身追踪设备到可持续时尚以及家用电器，创新产品正在改变我们的生活方式。以下是三款新发布的、结合智能科技与日常实用性的产品。)”可知，文章介绍改变生活的智能日用产品，属于杂志的“Smart Living(智能生活)”板块。 B Faizan Zaki, a 13-year-old from Texas, was awarded champion of the Scripps National Spelling Bee (SNSB) on May 29. The event, held near Washington, D.C. and broadcast live on TV, was especially meaningful as it marked a century of the competition The SNSB, which began in 1925, is one of America’s most famous educational contests. It’s open to students who haven’t turned 16 or finished 8th grade. This year, 243 young spellers, aged 8 to 14, reached the national competition. After several intense rounds, only three finalists remained: Faizan, 14-year-old Sarvadhya Kadam, and 11-year-old Sarv Dharavane. Both opponents misspelled their words, giving Faizan a chance to win. But he also failed on “commelina,” bringing his opponents back. Ultimately, Faizan correctly spelled “éclaircissement” — meaning “a clearing up of something difficult to understand”. Overjoyed, he pumped his fists and fell to the stage. The road to that moment began four years ago, when his first national appearance ended early. Watching older contestants handle difficult words calmly inspired him. He later shared, “I realize it’s not just spelling — it’s a test of willpower.” He even created personalized word banks using programming software. In his next attempt, Faizan entered the semifinals, but was tripped up by “xylophone,” mistakenly confusing “ph” with “f”. This setback taught him something new: “Every letter carries a cultural context — only memorizing is far less effective than understanding etymology (词源).” Thereafter, he spent 2 hours daily analyzing word origins. This year, Faizan returned more confident and calm. Known for his fun personality, he even made a joke when the host told finalists to “take a deep breath.” Faizan replied, “That won’t help at all!” — making the audience laugh. When the final word was announced, he paused for two seconds to steady his breath, and then spelled it perfectly, earning thunderous applause. Faizan now plans to save half the prize for university — he hopes to become a neurosurgeon — and donate the rest to charity. His four-year journey has made him a symbol of persistence, inspiring teenagers across the country. 4. Why did the 2025 SNSB carry extra meaning? A. It changed age limits. B. It attracted special participants. C. It was broadcast internationally. D. It celebrated its 100th anniversary. 5. What lesson did the failures teach him? A. A good memory is not enough. B. Software programming is helpful. C. Pronunciation matters more than letters. D. Long words are hard to remember. 6. What kind of person can Faizan be described as? A. Serious and strict. B. Intelligent and determined. C. Confident and reserved. D. Humorous and demanding. 7. What does the story illustrate? A. Persistence pays off. B. Luck matters more. C. Talent beats practice. D. Speed brings victory. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了13岁的费赞·扎基赢得美国拼字比赛冠军的经历，以及他在四年追梦路上的成长与感悟。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The event, held near Washington, D.C. and broadcast live on TV, was especially meaningful as it marked a century of the competition.(这项赛事在华盛顿特区附近举行并进行电视直播，它之所以特别有意义，是因为它标志着这项比赛迎来了百年华诞)”可知，2025年的美国拼字比赛具有特殊意义是因为它在庆祝自己的100周年纪念。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“This setback taught him something new: “Every letter carries a cultural context — only memorizing is far less effective than understanding etymology (词源).”(这次挫折让他有了新的领悟：“每个字母都承载着文化背景——只靠记忆远比理解词源效果差。”)”可知，失败教会他仅靠好记性是不够的，理解词源更重要。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“He even created personalized word banks using programming software.(他甚至用编程软件创建了个性化词汇库)”可看出他很聪明；结合第三段中“The road to that moment began four years ago, when his first national appearance ended early. Watching older contestants handle difficult words calmly inspired him.(通往这一荣耀时刻的征程始于四年前，彼时他的首次全国赛场亮相早早便止步了。看着年长的参赛者从容应对生僻单词的模样，他深受鼓舞)”及他多次受挫仍坚持参赛、不断改进方法的经历，可看出他意志坚定。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述费赞历经四年努力，两次受挫后仍不放弃，不断总结经验改进方法，最终赢得冠军，且文末提到“His four-year journey has made him a symbol of persistence(他四年的追梦之旅使他成为坚持的象征)”。由此可知，这个故事阐明了“坚持终有回报”的道理。故选A项。 C Human well-being depends on the ability to navigate the social world. Such social skill depends on reliable feedback: acts of kindness may be met with gratitude; on other occasions, a misstep brings about a friend’s disapproval and recognition that an apology is needed. These moments are crucial for deepening trust and personal growth. Social life is rarely smooth, because people are not perfectly in tune with one another. Yet it is precisely through such social conflict that relationships deepen and moral understanding develops. Sycophancy (谄媚) is the opposite of this conflict. Many users experience this when AI enthusiastically agrees with their ideas or writing. In academic contexts, the consequence may be investing more time in an average idea. But as AI systems are increasingly consulted for guidance about relationships and conflict, affirmation (肯定) of this kind may shape how people interpret their own actions and their perspectives of others, and in turn, how they respond to conflict and whether they take responsibility when things go wrong. Now imagine a world where people routinely consult a sycophantic AI about interpersonal conflict or moral dilemmas. They are repeatedly assured that they are right, that others are wrong, and that no apology is needed. Over time, this patterned sycophancy may reshape expectations about what feedback should feel like. Individuals may begin to anticipate the same constant affirmation from real human beings. The gradual effect is a reduction in tolerance for the very social conflict through which accountability, perspective-taking and growth occur. An AI companion that is always “on your side” may keep users engaged and dependent. But it cannot teach them how to handle real relationships — how to disagree respectfully, repair damaged trust, or accept being wrong. Although AI could be improved to promote long-term personal development, such goals conflict with systems built to maximize user engagement. Challenging users or presenting uncomfortable truths is a sure way to drive them away. This tension raises fundamental ethical questions: Should we prioritize immediate emotional comfort or long-term social health? Who gets to decide? Addressing these challenges will require interdisciplinary cooperation among computer scientists, social scientists, ethicists, and policy makers. 8. What role does social conflict play in relationships according to the author? A. It generates positive feedback. B. It causes open disapproval or conflict. C. It guarantees harmonious relationships. D. It enhances social bonds and moral growth. 9. What’s the main idea of the Paragraph 3? A. The judgment about one’s actions. B. The consequences of Sycophantic AI. C. The tolerance for interpersonal conflict. D. The AI’s ability to resolve real life conflict. 10. What prevents AI systems from being improved to challenge users? A. Lack of technical capacity. B. Unawareness of its potential harm. C. Conflict with commercial interests. D. Absence of interdisciplinary cooperation. 11. What is the author’s attitude toward current AI systems? A. Strictly neutral. B. Strongly opposed. C. Mildly supportive. D. Cautiously concerned. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述一味谄媚迎合用户的人工智能会削弱人们接纳社交冲突的能力，带来社交与伦理隐患。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Yet it is precisely through such social conflict that relationships deepen and moral understanding develops.(但恰恰是通过这样的社交冲突，人际关系得以加深，道德认知得以发展。)”可知，社交冲突能够增进人际联结、促进道德成长。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Now imagine a world where people routinely consult a sycophantic AI about interpersonal conflict or moral dilemmas. They are repeatedly assured that they are right, that others are wrong, and that no apology is needed. Over time, this patterned sycophancy may reshape expectations about what feedback should feel like. Individuals may begin to anticipate the same constant affirmation from real human beings. The gradual effect is a reduction in tolerance for the very social conflict through which accountability, perspective-taking and growth occur.(试想这样一个世界：人们遇到人际矛盾或是道德困境时，习惯性求助于只会谄媚讨好的人工智能。人工智能反复让他们确信自己是对的、别人是错的，无需道歉。久而久之，这种一成不变的奉承会重塑人们对反馈的期待。人们会开始期待在现实人际交往中也得到源源不断的肯定。慢慢带来的后果就是：人们对社交矛盾的包容度下降，而恰恰是这些矛盾，让人学会担责、换位思考、获得成长。)”可知，本段主要介绍谄媚型人工智能带来的种种后果。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“An AI companion that is always “on your side” may keep users engaged and dependent. But it cannot teach them how to handle real relationships — how to disagree respectfully, repair damaged trust, or accept being wrong. Although AI could be improved to promote long-term personal development, such goals conflict with systems built to maximize user engagement. Challenging users or presenting uncomfortable truths is a sure way to drive them away.(一个永远 “站在你这边” 的人工智能陪伴程序，可能会让用户一直沉浸其中并产生依赖。但它无法教会人们如何处理真实的人际关系 —— 如何礼貌地提出不同意见、修复受损的信任，或是承认自己的错误。尽管人工智能可以经过优化，助力人的长期个人成长，但这类目标和那些以最大限度吸引用户为目的而搭建的系统存在冲突。向用户提出质疑、或是道出逆耳的真相，一定会使用户流失。)”可知，与商业利益相冲突使得人工智能系统即便经过优化，也无法和使用者进行对抗。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“This tension raises fundamental ethical questions: Should we prioritize immediate emotional comfort or long-term social health?(这种矛盾引出根本性的伦理问题：我们该优先考虑即时的情绪慰藉，还是长期的社交健康？)”可知，作者用两个疑问句表达了对当前人工智能系统谨慎担忧的态度。 D A new study out of King’s College London is giving people more of a reason than ever to plan a museum date. It was conducted by the researchers from the university, who got half of the participants, including 50 volunteers, aged 18 to 40, to view pieces by world-famous artists Manet, Van Gogh, and Gauguin in The Courtauld Gallery in London. The control group, on the other hand, looked at copies of the same artworks in a non-gallery environment. All of the participants’ heart rate variability and skin temperatures were measured with sensors throughout the 20-minute art-viewing sessions, and saliva (唾液) samples were also taken before and after viewing. The researchers found that cortisol levels — a key stress hormone (荷尔蒙) in the human body — fell by an average of 22% in the gallery group, compared to just 8% in the control group. The participants viewing original art in the gallery also had more active heart activity, which shows that art attracts the body. Another key finding was that pro-inflammatory (促炎症) proteins IL-6 and TNF-alpha also dropped by 30% and 28% respectively for those viewing art in galleries, with no observable changes for the control group. “Stress hormones and inflammatory markers like IL-6 and TNF-alpha are related to many health problems, from heart disease to anxiety and depression,” explained Dr. Tony Woods, the study’s senior author. “The fact that viewing original art lowered these markers suggests that cultural experiences may play a real role in protecting both mind and body.” Other previous studies have linked regular gallery visits to long-term well-being, but this study is the first to “capture real-time physiological benefits”, which shows an immediate positive impact. “This study proves for the first time that art really is good for you. What’s particularly exciting is that the findings show these benefits are pervasive — they can be experienced by anyone,” said Jenny Waldman, the director of Art Fund. “We want to encourage everyone to make time to visit their local museum or gallery, and discover just how good art can make you feel.” 12. What does the new study focus on? A. Differences between artistic styles. B. Participants’ preferences for artists. C. Effects of art on various environments. D. Participants’ physical reactions to art. 13. What is a finding of the study about viewing original art? A. It mainly improves creative thinking. B. It changes participants’ health indicators. C. It demands a certain art appreciation level. D. It has the greatest impact on mental health. 14. What does the underlined word “pervasive” in the last paragraph mean? A. Surprising. B. Predictable. C. Universal. D. Continuous. 15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Museum Trips Bring Immediate Benefits. B. Copying Masterpieces Lowers Stress. C. London Leads World Gallery Tours. D. Sensors Reveal Visitors’ Secrets. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了伦敦国王学院的一项新研究发现，观赏原创艺术作品能够带来即时的生理益处，如降低压力激素和促炎蛋白水平。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“All of the participants’ heart rate variability and skin temperatures were measured with sensors throughout the 20-minute art-viewing sessions, and saliva (唾液) samples were also taken before and after viewing.(在20分钟的艺术观赏过程中，所有参与者的心率变异性和皮肤温度都用传感器进行了测量，并且在观赏前后还采集了唾液样本)”可知，这项新研究关注的是参与者对艺术的生理反应。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers found that cortisol levels — a key stress hormone (荷尔蒙) in the human body — fell by an average of 22% in the gallery group, compared to just 8% in the control group.(研究人员发现，画廊组参与者体内的一种关键压力激素——皮质醇水平平均下降了22%，而对照组仅为8%)”以及“Another key finding was that pro-inflammatory (促炎症) proteins IL-6 and TNF-alpha also dropped by 30% and 28% respectively for those viewing art in galleries, with no observable changes for the control group.(另一个关键发现是，对于在画廊观看艺术作品的人来说，促炎蛋白IL-6和TNF-alpha也分别下降了30%和28%，而对照组没有观察到变化)”可知，观赏原创艺术改变了参与者的健康指标。故选B。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“they can be experienced by anyone(任何人都可以体验到)”可知，任何人都可以体验到这些益处，即这些益处是普遍存在的，故画线词意思是“普遍的”。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Other previous studies have linked regular gallery visits to long-term well-being, but this study is the first to “capture real-time physiological benefits”, which shows an immediate positive impact.(其他先前的研究已经将定期参观画廊与长期健康联系起来，但这项研究是第一个“捕捉到实时生理益处”的研究，显示了即时的积极影响)”结合文章主要说明了伦敦国王学院的一项新研究发现，观赏原创艺术作品能够带来即时的生理益处，如降低压力激素和促炎蛋白水平。可知，A选项“参观博物馆能带来立竿见影的好处”最符合文章标题。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分 12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It used to be simple: if you were stuck on homework, you went to a tutor or looked through a textbook. Today, many students admit their first instinct (本能) is to open short-video apps. ____16____ And here’s the catch: while short-form video makes information accessible, are students actually learning or just scrolling (滚屏)? Students aren’t choosing short videos to study by accident; it fits the way their brains are wired in today’s world. Studies suggest the average attention span has dropped to around 8-12 seconds. Quick videos match that rhythm. Instead of sitting through a 40-minute lecture, students can learn one concept or definition in a minute. Short videos also turn idle time, like waiting for the bus, into learning opportunities. ____17____ However, for every upside, there’s a hidden drawback that students often feel but don’t always recognize. Short videos sometimes oversimplify — students may remember a “fun fact” but struggle to apply it in problem-solving. Constant exposure to fast content trains the brain to expect stimulation, making complex reading or full lectures harder to sit through. ____18____ Students can end up overwhelmed, recalling bits of many topics but mastering none. Here’s where it gets tricky. Short-video platforms aren’t built for studying; they’re built for endless scrolling. That means students who go in looking for a “quick explainer” often end up an hour deep into unrelated content. ____19____ Students describe feeling “busy” while scrolling through study content, but later realize they didn’t remember much. ____20____ The reality is, it’s both. Short-form content is a tool, not a replacement. Students who use it as a supplement to traditional learning gain the best of both worlds: quick tips and deeper practice. Those who depend only on it often face burnout, divided attention, or surface-level understanding. A. So, is short-form video helping or hurting? B. This makes video-learning fit easily into daily life. C. Many creators make money by posting educational clips. D. To them, such videos don’t just entertain but feel like learning. E. Short videos make students unable to finish homework within fixed time. F. Besides, too many short videos, brief as they are, can cause information overload. G. This unclear line between entertainment and education makes it harder to manage time. 【答案】16. D 17. B 18. F 19. G 20. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要探讨了短视频学习对学生的利弊，分析了短视频学习流行的原因、潜在弊端，并指出短视频应作为传统学习的补充而非替代。 【16题详解】 由上文“Today, many students admit their first instinct (本能) is to open short-video apps. (如今，许多学生承认他们的第一本能是打开短视频应用。)”以及下文“And here’s the catch: while short-form video makes information accessible, are students actually learning or just scrolling (滚屏)? (关键在于：虽然短视频让信息变得容易获取，但学生们是真的在学习还是只是在滚屏？)”可知，本空要说学生们对短视频学习的认知，D选项“To them, such videos don’t just entertain but feel like learning. (对他们来说，这些视频不仅娱乐，而且感觉像是在学习。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“To them”指代上文的“many students”，且该选项中的“feel like learning”与下文的“are students actually learning”形成呼应和质疑，表示学生们自以为在学习，但实际情况可能并非如此。 【17题详解】 由上文“Short videos also turn idle time, like waiting for the bus, into learning opportunities. (短视频还将空闲时间，比如等公交车，转化为学习机会。)”以及下文“However, for every upside, there’s a hidden drawback that students often feel but don’t always recognize. (然而，每一个优点都有一个学生常常感受到却不一定意识到的隐藏的弊端。)”可知，本空要说短视频融入日常生活的便利性，B选项“This makes video-learning fit easily into daily life. (这使视频学习轻松融入日常生活。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“This”指代上文的“turn idle time...into learning opportunities”，且该选项中的“fit easily into daily life”总结了短视频学习的便利性，与下文的“However”形成转折，引出弊端。 【18题详解】 由上文“Constant exposure to fast content trains the brain to expect stimulation, making complex reading or full lectures harder to sit through. (持续接触快速内容训练大脑期待刺激，使复杂的阅读或完整的讲座更难坐下来听完。)”以及下文“Students can end up overwhelmed, recalling bits of many topics but mastering none. (学生们最终可能会不知所措，回忆起许多话题的片段但没有一个精通。)”可知，本空要说信息过载的问题，F选项“Besides, too many short videos, brief as they are, can cause information overload. (此外，短视频虽短，但数量过多会导致信息过载。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“Besides”表示递进，承接上文的弊端，且该选项中的“information overload”与下文的“overwhelmed”和“recalling bits of many topics but mastering none”相呼应，表示信息过载导致学习效果差。 【19题详解】 由上文“That means students who go in looking for a ‘quick explainer’ often end up an hour deep into unrelated content. (这意味着那些本想找‘快速讲解’的学生往往最终花一小时深陷无关内容。)”以及下文“Students describe feeling ‘busy’ while scrolling through study content, but later realize they didn’t remember much. (学生们描述在浏览学习内容时感觉‘很忙’，但后来意识到他们并没有记住多少。)”可知，本空要说娱乐与教育的界限模糊带来的时间管理问题，G选项“This unclear line between entertainment and education makes it harder to manage time. (娱乐与教育之间这条模糊的界限使时间管理变得更加困难。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“This unclear line between entertainment and education”指代上文的“looking for a ‘quick explainer’ often end up an hour deep into unrelated content”，且该选项中的“harder to manage time”与下文的“feeling ‘busy’ while scrolling through study content, but later realize they didn’t remember much”相呼应，表示时间管理失控导致学习效率低下。 【20题详解】 由下文“The reality is, it’s both. Short-form content is a tool, not a replacement. (现实是，两者兼而有之。短视频内容是一种工具，而非替代品。)”可知，本空要说提出短视频是帮助还是伤害的问题，A选项“So, is short-form video helping or hurting? (那么，短视频是在帮助还是在伤害？)”能引出下文，符合题意，该选项以设问的方式总结全文争论，且该选项中的“helping or hurting”与下文的“it’s both”形成直接回应，表示答案不是非黑即白，而是取决于使用方式。 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。 Willard Wigan was born with dyslexia, a learning disorder affecting the ability to read, write and spell. He couldn’t ____21____ letters like M and W or numbers such as 6 and 9, and his teacher, unaware of his learning disability, ____22____ him as “lazy” instead of offering help. School became his constant ____23____. He often sat alone at lunch, feeling as tiny and ____24____ as the ants crawling near his garden hut. One day, watching a group of ants struggle to build a home, Willard felt a sudden ____25____ to help. He built a little house and put sugar inside to attract them. This simple act ____26____ a passion he’d never known: he went on to build more ant homes with swings and seesaws. When schoolwork depressed him, creating these tiny worlds became his escape and source of ____27____. ____28____, he started carving faces on toothpicks, holding his breath for several minutes to improve ____29____. However, at 15, he was forced to leave school to work in a factory, ____30____ car parts to support his family but he never let his hobby ____31____. As more friends and neighbors praised his talent, he gained the courage to ____32____ his job and chase his dream of being a top artist.

Long before很久以前；B. So far到目前为止；C. Later on后来；D. At present目前。根据第二段中“he went on to build more ant homes with swings and seesaws”可知，他最初的创作是搭建蚂蚁小屋，在牙签上雕刻人脸是创作形式的进一步发展，属于时间上的后续阶段，Later on符合本句语境。 【29题详解】 考查名词。句意：后来，他开始在牙签上雕刻人脸，为了提升精准度，他会屏住呼吸好几分钟。A. situation情况；B. competition竞争；C. strength力量；D. precision精准度。根据空前的“holding his breath for several minutes to improve”可推知，屏住呼吸是为了提升雕刻的准确程度。 【30题详解】 考查动词。句意：然而，15岁时他被迫辍学去工厂工作，组装汽车零件来养家，但他从未让自己的爱好消退。A. assembling组装；B. offering提供；C. throwing扔；D. purchasing购买。根据空前的“work in a factory”和空后的“car parts”可知，工厂里的工作内容是装配汽车零件，assembling符合本句语境。 【31题详解】 考查动词。句意：然而，15岁时他被迫辍学去工厂工作，组装汽车零件来养家，但他从未让自己的爱好消退。A. develop发展；B. grow生长；C. fade消退；D. spread传播。根据空前的“he was forced to leave school to work in a factory”和but可知，他的爱好没有随现实压力慢慢消失。 【32题详解】 考查动词。句意：随着越来越多的朋友和邻居称赞他的天赋，他鼓起勇气辞去工作，去追逐成为顶尖艺术家的梦想。A. continue继续；B. complete完成；C. quit辞去；D. accept接受。根据空后的“chase his dream of being a top artist”可知，他要去追逐艺术梦想，因此辞去了工厂的工作。 【33题详解】 考查形容词。句意：如今，威拉德创作着世界上最小的雕塑作品，这让他享誉全球、身家丰厚，但他常说：“成功无关物质财富，而在于当全世界都觉得你微不足道、无足轻重时，你依然能坚持下去。”A. practical实际的；B. material物质的；C. valuable贵重的；D. private私人的。根据空前的“which made him internationally famous and wealthy”可知，他已经收获了财富与名气，但他认为成功的核心不在于物质层面的东西，material符合本句语境。 【34题详解】 考查动词。句意：如今，威拉德创作着世界上最小的雕塑作品，这让他享誉全球、身家丰厚，但他常说：“成功无关物质财富，而在于当全世界都觉得你微不足道、无足轻重时，你依然能坚持下去。”A. matter要紧；B. challenge挑战；C. exist存在；D. judge评判。根据空前的“you’re too small to”可知，此处表达 “渺小到无关紧要、没有分量”之意，matter符合本句语境。 【35题详解】 考查动词。句意：这个曾觉得自己不被看见的男孩证明了，即便是最微小的努力，辅以坚持，也能带来非凡的成就。A. compared比较；B. stuck粘贴；C. decorated装饰；D. coupled结合。根据空前的“the tiniest efforts”和空后的“with persistence”可知，此处表达“努力与坚持相结合”的含义，coupled符合本句语境。 第二节（共10小题；每题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Before modern shopping malls appeared, night markets played an important role in Chinese people’s daily life.

Making the school team was my big dream for Grade 10 — the result of every early practice and every tired morning. But there I sat. With three minutes left and a twenty-point lead, Coach Thompson still did not look at the bench. I looked down at my new No. 12 shirt. It was still clean and dry. My shoes were almost new. The crowd sounded far away, like noise behind a wall. On the court, the first five players moved together well. Jake made another three-point shot, and the stands got louder. While my teammates smiled, I thought about last Tuesday’s practice: the missed easy shot and the pass that hit the floor. I knew I was not as good a shooter as Jake, but I could pass and I could guard. I had spent months learning my steps near the basket. But Coach trusted the players who took the lead, and I felt invisible. When the game ended, I forced a smile and clapped with the team. No one saw that I never touched the ball. The locker room was full of happy noise. Teammates threw water into the air and laughed loudly. I quietly put my towel and belongings into my bag, hoping no one would see me leave. Just then, Coach Thompson walked over with the game ball, dirty and wet with sweat. He gave it to Jake, who had scored thirty points. Jake held the ball high and smiled for the cameras. I turned away and bit my lip. “Hey, wait,” a voice called. It was Jake. He threw the ball to me. “Take this to the room where we keep the balls, will you?” 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。 I held the ball and felt its warmth. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Coach looked at me and said, “You’ll start against Lincoln High.” _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： I held the ball and felt its warmth. Its worn leather had witnessed Jake’s glory, and my loneliness. Instead of heading to the equipment room, I walked back to the empty court, where under the dim lights I dribbled, pivoted and shot again and again. I stayed until my jersey was soaked and my arms ached. That night I decided to wait for no one's permission — to make myself impossible to ignore. Coach looked at me and said, “You’ll start against Lincoln High.” For a second I just turned it over in my hands; my heart pounded harder than it had after any buzzer-beater, and my “Yes, sir” came out a notch too loud. That afternoon I didn’t hang back — I called for the ball nervously and dove for loose balls; his eyes lingered on me a second longer than usual. I knew it was my one shot — not for fame, but to prove that the boy who carried the ball to the equipment room could also carry the team when Friday came. 【解析】 【导语】本文以比赛用球 为线索展开，讲述了十年级主人公一心想要在校篮球队站稳脚跟，却始终作为板凳球员无缘上场；赛后受托运送比赛用球时，他独自留在空旷球场加练并决心靠实力赢得认可，最终凭借训练中的积极表现获得教练赏识，得到对阵林肯高中首发机会的成长故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可描写作者触摸篮球时的心理波动，以及他留在空球场反复运球投篮、暗自下定决心要让自己无法被忽视的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可描写作者获得首发通知后的激动反应，补充他训练时刻苦拼搏的状态，以及他珍视机会、想要为球队贡献力量的坚定信念。 2.续写线索：触球生感→折返空场→反复加练→暗下决心→获首发通知→回述当日训练→坚定信念 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①前往： head to/proceed to ②退缩：hang back/shrink back 情绪类 ①孤独：loneliness/desolation ②紧张地：nervously/tensely 【点睛】【高分句型1】Instead of heading to the equipment room, I walked back to the empty court, where under the dim lights I dribbled, pivoted and shot again and again.(运用了where引导的非限制性定语从句) 【高分句型2】I stayed until my jersey was soaked and my arms ached.(运用了until引导的时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 河南省实验中学2026 — 2027学年高三年级10月测评 英语 考试时间：120分钟 分值：150分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

Here are three newly-launched items that combine smart technology with everyday practicality. ON TRACK Screenless fitness trackers are the new trend in wearable workout gear. The first new Fitbit since 2023 enters that market, which competitors like Whoop and Oura have muscled into in recent years. The Fitbit Air is considerably cheaper than those options, and integrates with Google’s updated Health app. The tracker covers basic metrics like heart rate, blood oxygen and motion data during activity and sleep. All data is processed in the app, with an AI coach available for an additional $7.99 per month. Google Fitbit Air £84.99, store.google.com GOOD TIMING If time is running out to meaningfully slow down climate change, here’s a watch to both monitor the countdown and also feel slightly better about it. Detrash is a British watchmaking brand using recycled ocean plastics, steel and fashion industry offcuts (边角料) to create its timepieces. The watches — from dress to dive styles — come in at under £500. Most lines are limited editions, so if you see one you like, time is probably running out. Detrash ‘Midnight Flamingo’ From £375, detrash.com PLASTIC PROGRESS Up to 500,000 tonnes of textile microplastics enter the oceans every year, much from washing machines. Now, effective microplastic filters (过滤器) are being introduced, including a 2025 Moonshot Prize winner. Developed by Bristol-based Matter, the Regen filter can be built into machines or bought separately and installed at home. The company claims 97% effectiveness. It needs emptying every six weeks, with no replacement filters required. Regen Microplastic Filter From £199, matter.industries 1. Which is one of the advantages of the Fitbit Air? A. It is more affordable. B. It works without any app. C. It offers free AI coaching. D. It gathers more health data. 2. What do the Detrash watch and the Regen filter have in common? A. They are offered in limited editions. B. They reduce environmental pollution. C. They are made from recycled plastics. D. They need regular replacement of parts. 3. In which section of a magazine would you probably find this passage? A. Smart Living. B. Wearable Tech. C. User Reviews. D. Green Innovations. B Faizan Zaki, a 13-year-old from Texas, was awarded champion of the Scripps National Spelling Bee (SNSB) on May 29. The event, held near Washington, D.C. and broadcast live on TV, was especially meaningful as it marked a century of the competition The SNSB, which began in 1925, is one of America’s most famous educational contests. It’s open to students who haven’t turned 16 or finished 8th grade. This year, 243 young spellers, aged 8 to 14, reached the national competition. After several intense rounds, only three finalists remained: Faizan, 14-year-old Sarvadhya Kadam, and 11-year-old Sarv Dharavane. Both opponents misspelled their words, giving Faizan a chance to win. But he also failed on “commelina,” bringing his opponents back. Ultimately, Faizan correctly spelled “éclaircissement” — meaning “a clearing up of something difficult to understand”. Overjoyed, he pumped his fists and fell to the stage. The road to that moment began four years ago, when his first national appearance ended early. Watching older contestants handle difficult words calmly inspired him. He later shared, “I realize it’s not just spelling — it’s a test of willpower.” He even created personalized word banks using programming software. In his next attempt, Faizan entered the semifinals, but was tripped up by “xylophone,” mistakenly confusing “ph” with “f”. This setback taught him something new: “Every letter carries a cultural context — only memorizing is far less effective than understanding etymology (词源).” Thereafter, he spent 2 hours daily analyzing word origins. This year, Faizan returned more confident and calm. Known for his fun personality, he even made a joke when the host told finalists to “take a deep breath.” Faizan replied, “That won’t help at all!” — making the audience laugh. When the final word was announced, he paused for two seconds to steady his breath, and then spelled it perfectly, earning thunderous applause. Faizan now plans to save half the prize for university — he hopes to become a neurosurgeon — and donate the rest to charity. His four-year journey has made him a symbol of persistence, inspiring teenagers across the country. 4. Why did the 2025 SNSB carry extra meaning? A. It changed age limits. B. It attracted special participants. C. It was broadcast internationally. D. It celebrated its 100th anniversary. 5. What lesson did the failures teach him? A. A good memory is not enough. B. Software programming is helpful. C. Pronunciation matters more than letters. D. Long words are hard to remember. 6. What kind of person can Faizan be described as? A. Serious and strict. B. Intelligent and determined. C. Confident and reserved. D. Humorous and demanding. 7. What does the story illustrate? A. Persistence pays off. B. Luck matters more. C. Talent beats practice. D. Speed brings victory. C Human well-being depends on the ability to navigate the social world. Such social skill depends on reliable feedback: acts of kindness may be met with gratitude; on other occasions, a misstep brings about a friend’s disapproval and recognition that an apology is needed. These moments are crucial for deepening trust and personal growth. Social life is rarely smooth, because people are not perfectly in tune with one another. Yet it is precisely through such social conflict that relationships deepen and moral understanding develops. Sycophancy (谄媚) is the opposite of this conflict. Many users experience this when AI enthusiastically agrees with their ideas or writing. In academic contexts, the consequence may be investing more time in an average idea. But as AI systems are increasingly consulted for guidance about relationships and conflict, affirmation (肯定) of this kind may shape how people interpret their own actions and their perspectives of others, and in turn, how they respond to conflict and whether they take responsibility when things go wrong. Now imagine a world where people routinely consult a sycophantic AI about interpersonal conflict or moral dilemmas. They are repeatedly assured that they are right, that others are wrong, and that no apology is needed. Over time, this patterned sycophancy may reshape expectations about what feedback should feel like. Individuals may begin to anticipate the same constant affirmation from real human beings. The gradual effect is a reduction in tolerance for the very social conflict through which accountability, perspective-taking and growth occur. An AI companion that is always “on your side” may keep users engaged and dependent. But it cannot teach them how to handle real relationships — how to disagree respectfully, repair damaged trust, or accept being wrong. Although AI could be improved to promote long-term personal development, such goals conflict with systems built to maximize user engagement. Challenging users or presenting uncomfortable truths is a sure way to drive them away. This tension raises fundamental ethical questions: Should we prioritize immediate emotional comfort or long-term social health? Who gets to decide? Addressing these challenges will require interdisciplinary cooperation among computer scientists, social scientists, ethicists, and policy makers. 8. What role does social conflict play in relationships according to the author? A. It generates positive feedback. B. It causes open disapproval or conflict. C. It guarantees harmonious relationships. D. It enhances social bonds and moral growth. 9. What’s the main idea of the Paragraph 3? A. The judgment about one’s actions. B. The consequences of Sycophantic AI. C. The tolerance for interpersonal conflict. D. The AI’s ability to resolve real life conflict. 10. What prevents AI systems from being improved to challenge users? A. Lack of technical capacity. B. Unawareness of its potential harm. C. Conflict with commercial interests. D. Absence of interdisciplinary cooperation. 11. What is the author’s attitude toward current AI systems? A. Strictly neutral. B. Strongly opposed. C. Mildly supportive. D. Cautiously concerned. D A new study out of King’s College London is giving people more of a reason than ever to plan a museum date. It was conducted by the researchers from the university, who got half of the participants, including 50 volunteers, aged 18 to 40, to view pieces by world-famous artists Manet, Van Gogh, and Gauguin in The Courtauld Gallery in London. The control group, on the other hand, looked at copies of the same artworks in a non-gallery environment. All of the participants’ heart rate variability and skin temperatures were measured with sensors throughout the 20-minute art-viewing sessions, and saliva (唾液) samples were also taken before and after viewing. The researchers found that cortisol levels — a key stress hormone (荷尔蒙) in the human body — fell by an average of 22% in the gallery group, compared to just 8% in the control group. The participants viewing original art in the gallery also had more active heart activity, which shows that art attracts the body. Another key finding was that pro-inflammatory (促炎症) proteins IL-6 and TNF-alpha also dropped by 30% and 28% respectively for those viewing art in galleries, with no observable changes for the control group. “Stress hormones and inflammatory markers like IL-6 and TNF-alpha are related to many health problems, from heart disease to anxiety and depression,” explained Dr. Tony Woods, the study’s senior author. “The fact that viewing original art lowered these markers suggests that cultural experiences may play a real role in protecting both mind and body.” Other previous studies have linked regular gallery visits to long-term well-being, but this study is the first to “capture real-time physiological benefits”, which shows an immediate positive impact. “This study proves for the first time that art really is good for you. What’s particularly exciting is that the findings show these benefits are pervasive — they can be experienced by anyone,” said Jenny Waldman, the director of Art Fund. “We want to encourage everyone to make time to visit their local museum or gallery, and discover just how good art can make you feel.” 12. What does the new study focus on? A. Differences between artistic styles. B. Participants’ preferences for artists. C. Effects of art on various environments. D. Participants’ physical reactions to art. 13. What is a finding of the study about viewing original art? A. It mainly improves creative thinking. B. It changes participants’ health indicators. C. It demands a certain art appreciation level. D. It has the greatest impact on mental health. 14. What does the underlined word “pervasive” in the last paragraph mean? A. Surprising. B. Predictable. C. Universal. D. Continuous. 15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Museum Trips Bring Immediate Benefits. B. Copying Masterpieces Lowers Stress. C. London Leads World Gallery Tours. D. Sensors Reveal Visitors’ Secrets. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分 12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It used to be simple: if you were stuck on homework, you went to a tutor or looked through a textbook. Today, many students admit their first instinct (本能) is to open short-video apps. ____16____ And here’s the catch: while short-form video makes information accessible, are students actually learning or just scrolling (滚屏)? Students aren’t choosing short videos to study by accident; it fits the way their brains are wired in today’s world. Studies suggest the average attention span has dropped to around 8-12 seconds. Quick videos match that rhythm. Instead of sitting through a 40-minute lecture, students can learn one concept or definition in a minute. Short videos also turn idle time, like waiting for the bus, into learning opportunities. ____17____ However, for every upside, there’s a hidden drawback that students often feel but don’t always recognize. Short videos sometimes oversimplify — students may remember a “fun fact” but struggle to apply it in problem-solving. Constant exposure to fast content trains the brain to expect stimulation, making complex reading or full lectures harder to sit through. ____18____ Students can end up overwhelmed, recalling bits of many topics but mastering none. Here’s where it gets tricky. Short-video platforms aren’t built for studying; they’re built for endless scrolling. That means students who go in looking for a “quick explainer” often end up an hour deep into unrelated content. ____19____ Students describe feeling “busy” while scrolling through study content, but later realize they didn’t remember much. ____20____ The reality is, it’s both. Short-form content is a tool, not a replacement. Students who use it as a supplement to traditional learning gain the best of both worlds: quick tips and deeper practice. Those who depend only on it often face burnout, divided attention, or surface-level understanding. A. So, is short-form video helping or hurting? B. This makes video-learning fit easily into daily life. C. Many creators make money by posting educational clips. D. To them, such videos don’t just entertain but feel like learning. E. Short videos make students unable to finish homework within fixed time. F. Besides, too many short videos, brief as they are, can cause information overload. G. This unclear line between entertainment and education makes it harder to manage time. 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。 Willard Wigan was born with dyslexia, a learning disorder affecting the ability to read, write and spell.

Making the school team was my big dream for Grade 10 — the result of every early practice and every tired morning. But there I sat. With three minutes left and a twenty-point lead, Coach Thompson still did not look at the bench. I looked down at my new No. 12 shirt. It was still clean and dry. My shoes were almost new. The crowd sounded far away, like noise behind a wall. On the court, the first five players moved together well. Jake made another three-point shot, and the stands got louder. While my teammates smiled, I thought about last Tuesday’s practice: the missed easy shot and the pass that hit the floor. I knew I was not as good a shooter as Jake, but I could pass and I could guard. I had spent months learning my steps near the basket. But Coach trusted the players who took the lead, and I felt invisible. When the game ended, I forced a smile and clapped with the team. No one saw that I never touched the ball. The locker room was full of happy noise. Teammates threw water into the air and laughed loudly. I quietly put my towel and belongings into my bag, hoping no one would see me leave. Just then, Coach Thompson walked over with the game ball, dirty and wet with sweat. He gave it to Jake, who had scored thirty points. Jake held the ball high and smiled for the cameras. I turned away and bit my lip. “Hey, wait,” a voice called. It was Jake. He threw the ball to me. “Take this to the room where we keep the balls, will you?” 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。 I held the ball and felt its warmth. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Coach looked at me and said, “You’ll start against Lincoln High.” _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
