When I stepped off a ship in New York Harbor in 1949, I was a nine-year-old war refugee, who had lost his mother and was coming to live with the father he did not know. My mother, Eleni Gatzoyiannis, had been imprisoned and shot for sending my sisters and me to freedom. I was thirteen years old when I entered Chandler Junior High. Shortly after I arrived, I was told to select a hobby to pursue during “club hours.” The idea of hobbies and clubs made no sense to my immigrant ears, but I decided to follow the prettiest girl in my class. She led me into the presence of Miss Hurd, the school newspaper adviser and English teacher. A tough woman with salt-and-pepper hair and determined eyes, Miss Hurd had no patience with lazybones. She drilled us in grammar, assigned stories for us to read and discuss, and eventually taught us how to put out a newspaper. Her introduction to the literary wealth of Greece gave me a new perspective on my war-torn homeland, making me proud of my origins. Her efforts inspired me to understand the logic and structure of the English language. Owing to her inspiration, in the twenty-five years that followed, I worked as a professional journalist. Miss Hurd retired at the age of 62. By then, she had taught for a total of 41 years. Even after her retirement, she continually made a project of unwilling students in whom she spied a spark of potential. The students were mainly from the most troubled homes, yet she alternately bullied and charmed them with her own special brand of tough love, until the spark caught fire. Miss Hurd was the one who directed my grief and pain into writing. But for Miss Hurd, I wouldn’t have become a reporter. She was the catalyst that sent me into journalism and indirectly caused all the good things that came after. 4. Which of the following caused the author to think of his homeland differently? A. Following the prettiest girl in his class. B. Knowing his mother’s miserable death. C. Being exposed to Greek literary works. D. Stepping on the American soil for the first time. 5. Which words best describe Miss Hurd as a teacher? A. Strict but inspiring. B. Tough but indifferent. C. Impatient but caring. D. Serious but approachable. 6. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. The students Miss Hurd taught were all finally fired. B. Miss Hurd’s contribution was recognized across the nation. C. Miss Hurd employed a unique way to handle these students. D. Students from troubled homes preferred Miss Hurd’s teaching style. 7. Why does the author call Miss Hurd a “catalyst”? A. To stress her role in starting his writing career. B. To suggest she changed his personality completely. C. To indicate she was the only person who helped him. D. To show she was as powerful as a chemical substance. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述作者追忆恩师玛乔丽·赫德如何引导自己走上新闻写作道路的经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Her introduction to the literary wealth of Greece gave me a new perspective on my war-torn homeland, making me proud of my origins.(她向我介绍希腊丰富的文学作品，让我对饱受战争摧残的祖国有了全新的看法，让我为自己的出身感到自豪)”可知，接触希腊文学作品让作者对自己的祖国产生了不同的看法。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“A tough woman with salt-and-pepper hair and determined eyes, Miss Hurd had no patience with lazybones.(赫德老师是一位头发花白、眼神坚定的严厉女性，对懒汉毫无耐心)”和“Owing to her inspiration, in the twenty-five years that followed, I worked as a professional journalist.(在她的启发下，之后的二十五年里我成为了一名职业记者)”可知，赫德老师既严格又能给学生带来启发。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The students were mainly from the most troubled homes, yet she alternately bullied and charmed them with her own special brand of tough love, until the spark caught fire.(这些学生大多来自问题最严重的家庭，但她用自己独特的严厉关爱方式，时而督促时而引导，直到他们身上的潜力火花被点燃)”可知，赫德老师用了一套独特的方法来引导这些问题学生。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“She was the catalyst that sent me into journalism and indirectly caused all the good things that came after.(她是带我进入新闻行业的催化剂，也间接带来了之后所有的美好际遇)”可知，作者称赫德老师为催化剂，是为了强调她在开启自己写作职业生涯中起到的关键推动作用。 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 frictionless, because people are not perfectly in tune with one another. Yet it is precisely through such social friction that relationships deepen and moral understanding develops. Sycophancy (谄媚) is the opposite of this friction. 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 conflicts, 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 conflicts 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 cumulative effect is a reduction in tolerance for the very social friction 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 collaboration among computer scientists, social scientists, ethicists, and policy makers. 8. What role does social friction play in relationships according to the author? A. It generates positive feedback. B. It guarantees harmonious relationships. C. It causes open disapproval or conflicts. D. It enhances social bonds and moral growth. 9. Which of the following is NOT a consequence of sycophantic AI? A. Misguided judgment about one’s actions. B. Reduced tolerance for interpersonal friction. C. Weakened willingness to take responsibility. D. Increased ability to resolve real-life conflicts. 10. What prevents AI systems from being improved to challenge users? A. Lack of technical capacity. B. Conflicts with commercial interests. C. Unawareness of its potential harm. D. Absence of interdisciplinary collaboration. 11. What is the author’s attitude toward current AI systems? A. Strictly neutral. B. Strongly opposed. C. Cautiously concerned. D. Mildly supportive. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讨论了谄媚式人工智能对人类社交能力和社会关系的潜在负面影响，指出这种AI虽然能提供情感安慰，但会削弱人们处理人际摩擦、承担责任和促进道德成长的能力。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Yet it is precisely through such social friction that relationships deepen and moral understanding develops. (然而，正是通过这种社会摩擦，关系才能加深，对道德的理解才能发展。)”可知，作者认为社会摩擦能够加深人际关系并促进对道德的理解更深刻。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But as AI systems are increasingly consulted for guidance about relationships and conflicts, 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. (但随着人工智能系统被越来越多地用于人际关系和冲突方面的咨询，这种肯定可能会影响人们如何解读自己的行为和他人的观点，进而影响他们如何应对冲突以及在事情出错时是否承担责任。)”可知，谄媚式AI会导致人们对自己的行为判断失误（选项A）和承担责任意愿减弱（选项C）；根据第三段最后一句“The cumulative effect is a reduction in tolerance for the very social friction through which accountability, perspective-taking, and growth occur. (累积效应是对社会摩擦的容忍度降低，而正是通过这种社会摩擦，责任感、换位思考和个人成长才得以发生。)”可知，对人际摩擦容忍度降低（选项B）也是后果之一。“解决现实生活冲突能力的提升”文章没有提及。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“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. (虽然AI可以改进以促进长期个人发展，但这样的目标与为最大化用户参与度而构建的系统相冲突。挑战用户或呈现令人不舒服的真相肯定会把他们赶走。)”可知，AI系统无法被改造成挑战用户的模式，是因为这与其追求最大化用户参与度的商业利益相冲突。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。作者在第一段引出话题，指出社交摩擦虽然不可避免，但正是通过这种摩擦，人际关系才能加深、对道德的理解才能发展。第二段指出谄媚式AI会导致人们判断失误、逃避责任，在第三段指出其降低人们对社交摩擦的容忍度，在第四段指出其与商业利益的冲突及伦理困境，并呼吁跨学科合作来解决这些问题，表达了一种“谨慎担忧”的态度。 D Partying the night before a big exam. Preparing at the last minute for a work presentation. Running 5km in a heavy Halloween costume. All are examples of what psychologists call “self-handicapping” — creating obstacles to success to protect one’ s reputation. “Much previous research has explained it as a matter of personality,” said Yang Xiang, a psychology researcher. Xiang and her co-authors have designed a mathematical model of how the phenomenon works socially. Their theory suggests people often judge someone’s competence from only one or two performances. So, if a person expects to be judged, creating an obstacle can give failure another explanation. In this way, self-handicapping is an attempt to game those judgments. “You’re doing this because it works,” Xiang said. To test the theory, the researchers created a quiz-show experiment in which participants could choose how their performance would be judged. 20 questions were provided, and 8 correct answers meant a pass. Some chose to be judged on all 20 questions, while others on a randomly selected set of 10. Choosing the randomly selected set created uncertainty and offered a possible excuse for failure, making it a form of self-handicapping. As the model confirmed, the behavior occurred most frequently among those least likely to fail — or to succeed. When self-handicappers succeeded, judges rated them especially highly. The behavior also softened judgments of those who failed. However, this protection weakened when the strategy was seen through, suggesting it worked best when judges were less aware of it. Previous studies show self-handicapping can weaken educational goals. It has been linked with lower self-esteem(自尊), lower motivation, and declining student performance. The new research suggests that a shift in educators’ focus may help. When students are driven by the pressure to look smart, they remain highly likely to self-handicap. Instead, focusing on students’ progress over the rankings can further reduce their need to create excuses. “By understanding the psychology behind this behavior,” Xiang noted, “we hope this research reveals ways to prevent harmful academic self-handicapping.” 12. What may be the intention behind the behaviors in Paragraph 1? A. To obtain higher ratings from judges. B. To express unique personalities. C. To convince people of their competence. D. To make excuses for possible failure. 13. What does the underlined word “game” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Influence. B. Follow. C. Test. D. Record. 14. What can be concluded from the experiment? A. Success depends on appropriate strategies. B. Self-handicapping mainly benefits failures. C. Self-handicapping can protect one’s image. D. Average players are likeliest to self-handicap. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Why Learners Protect Reputation: A Social Strategy B. How Students Avoid Failure: A Lesson for Educators C. Why Students Disable Themselves: An Educator’s Guide D. How Learners Self-Handicap: A Disturbance of Judgment 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍自我设限这种心理现象，阐释其运作机制、实验验证以及给教育者的启示。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“All are examples of what psychologists call “self-handicapping” — creating obstacles to success to protect one’s reputation.(所有这些都是心理学家所说的“自我设限”的例子 —— 制造通往成功路上的障碍，以保护自己的名声)”以及第二段中的“So, if a person expects to be judged, creating an obstacle can give failure another explanation.(所以，如果一个人预料自己会被评价，制造一个障碍就可以为失败提供另一种解释)”可知，这些行为背后的意图是为可能到来的失败准备借口。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“So, if a person expects to be judged, creating an obstacle can give failure another explanation. In this way, self-handicapping is an attempt to game those judgments.(所以，如果一个人预料自己会被评价，制造一个障碍就可以为失败提供另一种解释。这样一来，自我设限就是一种试图game这些评价的尝试)”可知，自我设限是用来影响他人对自己的评价。故猜测划线词意为“影响”，与influence同义。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“As the model confirmed, the behavior occurred most frequently among those least likely to fail — or to succeed. When self-handicappers succeeded, judges rated them especially highly. The behavior also softened judgments of those who failed.(正如模型证实的那样，这种行为在最不容易失败，也最不容易成功的人身上发生得最频繁。当自我设限者成功时，评价者会给他们特别高的评价。这种行为也弱化了人们对失败者的负面评价)”可知，自我设限能够维护一个人的形象。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“All are examples of what psychologists call “self-handicapping” — creating obstacles to success to protect one’s reputation.(所有这些都是心理学家所说的“自我设限”的例子 —— 制造通往成功路上的障碍，以保护自己的名声)”以及最后一段中的“By understanding the psychology behind this behavior,” Xiang noted, “we hope this research reveals ways to prevent harmful academic self-handicapping.(向指出：“通过理解这种行为背后的心理，我们希望这项研究找到方法，去预防有害的学业自我设限。”)”可知，全文围绕“自我设限”这一核心现象展开，解释了学生这类群体主动给自己设置阻碍的背后心理机制，最后落脚于给教育工作者提供减少这类有害行为的参考方向。C项“为什么学生要自我设限：一份教育者指南”能概括文章主旨，是最佳标题。 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。 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)?

To save time, Judy fed the topic “My Hero” to an AI tool. Within thirty seconds, a polished text appeared: Newton, Lincoln, Tesla... The stories of virtually any famous person came alive with perfect sentences. She printed it out, feeling satisfied with this neat yet shallow, fancy article. To her, it was a quick way to win without much effort. However, the rehearsal (彩排) was a total disaster. Under the bright stage lights, she struggled to recall the long, difficult sentences. The words felt like borrowed clothes that didn’t fit. Coach Kim frowned, his eyes full of disappointment. “Good voice, Judy, but where is your heart? These aren’t your heroes.” Judy forced a smile, but the coach’s words stayed in her mind all afternoon. That night, the familiar rattle (哐当声) of metal wheels woke her up. Looking out of the window, she saw her parents pushing their food cart (小推车) into the cold darkness. Dad whispered, “Fog’s thick. Gloves ready?” Mom answered, “Always.” Watching their fading figures, Judy felt a sharp pang in her heart. Suddenly, the “heroes” in her AI-generated text seemed so far away, while the true heroes were right here in the cold wind. She sat at her laptop, deleted every word of the AI text, and typed: “My heroes leave at 4 am, so the city can eat at 7 am.” She wrote about the worn-out gloves and the smell of steaming hot dogs. The words were plain, but they breathed with true love. The contest day finally came. Judy stood behind the curtain, legs shaking. Her parents sat in the third row, still wearing their faded work jackets. Judy pressed her handwritten speech to her chest, felt her heart pounding heavily, and whispered: “Stay calm.” 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then came Judy’s turn. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After two seconds’ silence, thunderous applause erupted. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Then came Judy’s turn. Stepping onto the bright stage, Judy took a deep breath and looked straight at her parents. Instead of reciting stiff fancy sentences, she spoke softly and sincerely. She shared how her parents stuck to their food cart every early morning, braving cold wind and thick fog to bring warmth to others. Her plain but heartfelt words flowed naturally. Tears welled up in her eyes as she talked about their hard work and silent dedication. The whole audience listened quietly, totally touched by her genuine story. After two seconds’ silence, thunderous applause erupted. Everyone stood up, cheering for her moving speech. Judy spotted her parents clapping warmly with tearful smiles, their eyes filled with pride. Coach Kim nodded in approval, clearly impressed by her sincere performance. Judy finally understood that true speeches lie in real feelings rather than fancy AI words. True heroes are ordinary people who stick to their duties and bring warmth to life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Judy为加分借助AI撰写英雄主题演讲稿，内容华丽却空洞。彩排时因缺乏真情实感遭教练点评，深受触动。深夜目睹父母凌晨冒寒出摊谋生，她幡然醒悟，重写文稿讲述平凡父母的坚守与付出。比赛上她真挚讲述亲身故事，打动全场，也领悟到真情远比华丽辞藻珍贵，平凡坚守者亦是英雄。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写比赛上Judy真挚讲述亲身故事，打动全场。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写Judy演讲成功，领悟到真情远比华丽辞藻珍贵，平凡坚守者亦是英雄。 2.续写线索：讲述亲身故事——打动全场——爆发掌声——Judy感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①走上：step onto/walk onto ②欢呼：cheer for/applause for ③理解：understand/comprehend 情绪类 ①动人的：moving/touching ②真诚的：sincere/genuine 【点睛】 【高分句型1】She shared how her parents stuck to their food cart every early morning, braving cold wind and thick fog to bring warmth to others.(运用了how引导的宾语从句和现在分词作状语) 【高分句型2】Tears welled up in her eyes as she talked about their hard work and silent dedication.(运用了as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 $ 南科大附中2026年秋季学期高三年级十月质量监测 英 语 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：120分） 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、班级、考场和座位号填写在答题卡上。将条形码粘贴在答题卡“条形码粘贴处”。 2．作答时，务必将答案写在答题卡上，写在试卷及草稿纸上无效。 3．考试结束后，请将试卷妥善保管，答题卡统一交回。 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A TechForward is looking for local residents to test its new smart home assistant, a voice-controlled device designed to help users manage daily tasks such as setting reminders, controlling lights, checking the weather, and playing music.

Max, a part-time worker seldom using smart devices. B The person who set the course of my life was a school teacher named Marjorie Hurd. When I stepped off a ship in New York Harbor in 1949, I was a nine-year-old war refugee, who had lost his mother and was coming to live with the father he did not know. My mother, Eleni Gatzoyiannis, had been imprisoned and shot for sending my sisters and me to freedom. I was thirteen years old when I entered Chandler Junior High. Shortly after I arrived, I was told to select a hobby to pursue during “club hours.” The idea of hobbies and clubs made no sense to my immigrant ears, but I decided to follow the prettiest girl in my class. She led me into the presence of Miss Hurd, the school newspaper adviser and English teacher. A tough woman with salt-and-pepper hair and determined eyes, Miss Hurd had no patience with lazybones. She drilled us in grammar, assigned stories for us to read and discuss, and eventually taught us how to put out a newspaper. Her introduction to the literary wealth of Greece gave me a new perspective on my war-torn homeland, making me proud of my origins. Her efforts inspired me to understand the logic and structure of the English language. Owing to her inspiration, in the twenty-five years that followed, I worked as a professional journalist. Miss Hurd retired at the age of 62. By then, she had taught for a total of 41 years. Even after her retirement, she continually made a project of unwilling students in whom she spied a spark of potential. The students were mainly from the most troubled homes, yet she alternately bullied and charmed them with her own special brand of tough love, until the spark caught fire. Miss Hurd was the one who directed my grief and pain into writing. But for Miss Hurd, I wouldn’t have become a reporter. She was the catalyst that sent me into journalism and indirectly caused all the good things that came after. 4. Which of the following caused the author to think of his homeland differently? A. Following the prettiest girl in his class. B. Knowing his mother’s miserable death. C. Being exposed to Greek literary works. D. Stepping on the American soil for the first time. 5. Which words best describe Miss Hurd as a teacher? A. Strict but inspiring. B. Tough but indifferent. C. Impatient but caring. D. Serious but approachable. 6. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. The students Miss Hurd taught were all finally fired. B. Miss Hurd’s contribution was recognized across the nation. C. Miss Hurd employed a unique way to handle these students. D. Students from troubled homes preferred Miss Hurd’s teaching style. 7. Why does the author call Miss Hurd a “catalyst”? A. To stress her role in starting his writing career. B. To suggest she changed his personality completely. C. To indicate she was the only person who helped him. D. To show she was as powerful as a chemical substance. 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 frictionless, because people are not perfectly in tune with one another. Yet it is precisely through such social friction that relationships deepen and moral understanding develops. Sycophancy (谄媚) is the opposite of this friction. 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 conflicts, 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 conflicts 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 cumulative effect is a reduction in tolerance for the very social friction 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 collaboration among computer scientists, social scientists, ethicists, and policy makers. 8. What role does social friction play in relationships according to the author? A. It generates positive feedback. B. It guarantees harmonious relationships. C. It causes open disapproval or conflicts. D. It enhances social bonds and moral growth. 9. Which of the following is NOT a consequence of sycophantic AI? A. Misguided judgment about one’s actions. B. Reduced tolerance for interpersonal friction. C. Weakened willingness to take responsibility. D. Increased ability to resolve real-life conflicts. 10. What prevents AI systems from being improved to challenge users? A. Lack of technical capacity. B. Conflicts with commercial interests. C. Unawareness of its potential harm. D. Absence of interdisciplinary collaboration. 11. What is the author’s attitude toward current AI systems? A. Strictly neutral. B. Strongly opposed. C. Cautiously concerned. D. Mildly supportive. D Partying the night before a big exam. Preparing at the last minute for a work presentation. Running 5km in a heavy Halloween costume. All are examples of what psychologists call “self-handicapping” — creating obstacles to success to protect one’ s reputation. “Much previous research has explained it as a matter of personality,” said Yang Xiang, a psychology researcher. Xiang and her co-authors have designed a mathematical model of how the phenomenon works socially. Their theory suggests people often judge someone’s competence from only one or two performances. So, if a person expects to be judged, creating an obstacle can give failure another explanation. In this way, self-handicapping is an attempt to game those judgments. “You’re doing this because it works,” Xiang said. To test the theory, the researchers created a quiz-show experiment in which participants could choose how their performance would be judged. 20 questions were provided, and 8 correct answers meant a pass. Some chose to be judged on all 20 questions, while others on a randomly selected set of 10. Choosing the randomly selected set created uncertainty and offered a possible excuse for failure, making it a form of self-handicapping. As the model confirmed, the behavior occurred most frequently among those least likely to fail — or to succeed. When self-handicappers succeeded, judges rated them especially highly. The behavior also softened judgments of those who failed. However, this protection weakened when the strategy was seen through, suggesting it worked best when judges were less aware of it. Previous studies show self-handicapping can weaken educational goals. It has been linked with lower self-esteem(自尊), lower motivation, and declining student performance. The new research suggests that a shift in educators’ focus may help. When students are driven by the pressure to look smart, they remain highly likely to self-handicap. Instead, focusing on students’ progress over the rankings can further reduce their need to create excuses. “By understanding the psychology behind this behavior,” Xiang noted, “we hope this research reveals ways to prevent harmful academic self-handicapping.” 12. What may be the intention behind the behaviors in Paragraph 1? A. To obtain higher ratings from judges. B. To express unique personalities. C. To convince people of their competence. D. To make excuses for possible failure. 13. What does the underlined word “game” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Influence. B. Follow. C. Test. D. Record. 14. What can be concluded from the experiment? A. Success depends on appropriate strategies. B. Self-handicapping mainly benefits failures. C. Self-handicapping can protect one’s image. D. Average players are likeliest to self-handicap. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Why Learners Protect Reputation: A Social Strategy B. How Students Avoid Failure: A Lesson for Educators C. Why Students Disable Themselves: An Educator’s Guide D. How Learners Self-Handicap: A Disturbance of Judgment 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。 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。 These past weeks have been difficult for me as I lost my job in April.

To save time, Judy fed the topic “My Hero” to an AI tool. Within thirty seconds, a polished text appeared: Newton, Lincoln, Tesla... The stories of virtually any famous person came alive with perfect sentences. She printed it out, feeling satisfied with this neat yet shallow, fancy article. To her, it was a quick way to win without much effort. However, the rehearsal (彩排) was a total disaster. Under the bright stage lights, she struggled to recall the long, difficult sentences. The words felt like borrowed clothes that didn’t fit. Coach Kim frowned, his eyes full of disappointment. “Good voice, Judy, but where is your heart? These aren’t your heroes.” Judy forced a smile, but the coach’s words stayed in her mind all afternoon. That night, the familiar rattle (哐当声) of metal wheels woke her up. Looking out of the window, she saw her parents pushing their food cart (小推车) into the cold darkness. Dad whispered, “Fog’s thick. Gloves ready?” Mom answered, “Always.” Watching their fading figures, Judy felt a sharp pang in her heart. Suddenly, the “heroes” in her AI-generated text seemed so far away, while the true heroes were right here in the cold wind. She sat at her laptop, deleted every word of the AI text, and typed: “My heroes leave at 4 am, so the city can eat at 7 am.” She wrote about the worn-out gloves and the smell of steaming hot dogs. The words were plain, but they breathed with true love. The contest day finally came. Judy stood behind the curtain, legs shaking. Her parents sat in the third row, still wearing their faded work jackets. Judy pressed her handwritten speech to her chest, felt her heart pounding heavily, and whispered: “Stay calm.” 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then came Judy’s turn. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After two seconds’ silence, thunderous applause erupted. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
