W: So, what exactly are the scientists at your company doing? M: We’re developing a tool to help blind people see again, specifically those who lost their sight because of an accident. W: Sounds great! How will this new tool work? M: Well, it uses a computer chip and special glasses. We start by putting the chip into the blind person’s eye. The chip is very, very small, of course. And the glasses have a very small video camera inside. W: So, how do the computer chip and glasses work together? M: Well, a blind person puts on the glasses and looks at something, for example, this pen. And the video camera in the glasses takes a picture of the pen. The camera then sends the picture to the computer chip in the person’s eye. W: And then the person can see the pen! M: Exactly! This whole process happens very quickly, of course. W: Wow! Now, using this tool, will a blind person be able to see as well as a normal person? M: No, they won’t have perfect vision, but they will be able to see many things. This tool is still new, but for many of the people in our study, it has changed their lives. 听下面一段独白，完成下面小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 18. What is the company’s goal? A. To reduce labor costs. B.

Having spent her previous decades fulfilling traditional roles as a wife, mother and caregiver, Ashu faced the invisible weight of the common belief that her time for chasing dreams had long passed. But she wasn’t ready to fade into the background. “Mothers of my age reach a point where our responsibilities peak and our dreams take a back seat. My family had my back and I found the courage to reclaim mine,” shares Ashu. At 44, she. resolved to pick up her education. The decision wasn’t easy. Pursuing her studies meant making trade-offs-meals weren’t perfectly timed, the house looked lived-in, and exam dates conflicted with family plans. But the family adjusted and she managed to finish her PhD course. Then came the health scare in March 2022 when she was 54. Her blood pressure shot up and the doctor suggested lifelong medication. “That moment was a wake-up call,” she recalls. “I didn’t want to submit to a dependent old age.” Determined to turn her condition around naturally, she opted for physical activities and joined a gym, a turning point in her life. “What truly astonished me was how much our bodies can change with right efforts and consistent self-care,” she said. Today, her daily routine which reflects the discipline she’s well established begins at 4 a. m. with a refreshing glass of water, followed by a handful of nuts. Then it’s time for gym training, where she focuses on strength sessions and deadlifts. She alternates between yoga, running and walks throughout the week, ensuring a mix of activities. Ashu launched her social media journey with occasional Instagram posts under @not.just.a.grandma. Her videos featuring workouts, recipes, and an active lifestyle quickly went viral, inspiring millions. Her advice to women is, “Don’t stop just because you are ageing. You can redefine what it means to age with purpose, strength and joy.” 24. What was the attitude of Ashu’s family toward her going for her dream?. A. Favourable. B. Critical. C. Dismissive. D.

My family had my back and I found the courage to reclaim mine,” shares Ashu.(“我这个年纪的母亲们会面临这样一种情况：我们的责任达到顶峰，而梦想只能退居其次。我的家人支持我，我因此找到了重拾梦想的勇气。” 阿舒说道)”可知，阿舒的家人对她追求梦想持支持态度，故选A项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Pursuing her studies meant making trade-offs-meals weren’t perfectly timed, the house looked lived-in, and exam dates conflicted with family plans.(追求学业意味着做出权衡——饭菜不能按时准备，家里看起来乱七八糟，考试日期也与家庭计划冲突)”可知，为了获得博士学位，阿舒放弃了有序的家庭日常。故选B项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Then came the health scare in March 2022 when she was 54. Her blood pressure shot up and the doctor suggested lifelong medication. “That moment was a wake-up call,” she recalls. “I didn’t want to submit to a dependent old age.” Determined to turn her condition around naturally, she opted for physical activities and joined a gym, a turning point in her life..(接着，2022 年 3 月，在她 54 岁时，健康问题敲响了警钟。她的血压急剧升高，医生建议她终身服药。“那一刻敲响了警钟”她回忆道。“我不想屈服于依赖他人的老年生活”她决心自然地改变自己的身体状况，于是选择了体育活动并加入了健身房，这成为她人生的一个转折点）”可知，她拒绝依靠药物维持健康，所以在50多岁时开始体育锻炼。故选C项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Ashu Jain, a 57-year-old Indian woman who once struggled as a homemaker with exhaustion and social expectations, has now become a social media star and fitness influencer, rewriting the narrative about ageing and motherhood.(57 岁的印度女性阿舒・贾恩（Ashu Jain），曾作为家庭主妇在疲惫与社会期望的重压下艰难前行，如今却摇身一变成为社交媒体明星和健身达人，改写了关于衰老与母性的固有认知)”可知，文章讲述了阿舒在44岁时决定继续深造，54岁开始健身，最终成为社交媒体明星和健身影响者，实现人生转变。这表明重新开始永远不晚。故选B项。 C Katherine Rundell’s follow-up to 2023’s Impossible Creatures—a novel that sees two children trying to protect “the world’s last magical place”, which is home to all manner of imaginary beings—goes hand in hand with the previous one. But rather than a fantasy story, Vanishing Treasures is a nonfiction survey of some of the seemingly impossible creatures who call our planet home. As the title suggests, many of our neighbors are disappearing at an alarming rate mostly due to humanity’s irresistible greed and desire to dominate whatever is beautiful and rare. In this book, Katherine Rundell takes us on a tour of the world’s most awe-inspiring animals currently facing extinction. She combines history and personal experiences with a vivid storytelling style. Her own observations and interactions color her description of each animal in an accessible way, which is as enjoyable to read as the facts. Having witnessed the Amur leopard’s stealthy approach to its victim while tracking it, Rundell writes, “The leopard glides through the underbrush like a shadow, its powerful muscles working in perfect harmony with the silence of the forest. Each step is a silent promise of both beauty and danger.” The book unfolds a wealth of wonders. The seahorse couples meet each morning for a dance, changing colors before going their separate ways. The wood frog survives winter by allowing itself to freeze solid, its heartbeat slowing until it stops altogether. When spring comes, the heart kick-starts itself naturally back to life. Regrettably, these extraordinary animals are each on the border of extinction. This brilliant essay collection focusing on 23 unusual and underappreciated creatures serves as a forceful call insisting we re-envision the world around us—to truly recognize the fascinating animals, along with their hidden histories and remarkable capabilities and above all, to treasure the immeasurable fortune of inhabiting the same ground as such disappearing treasures. Beautifully illustrated, and full of intellect, Vanishing Treasures is a chance to be awestruck and lovestruck, to engage with the world’s beauty and its delicate nature and its strangeness. 28. What do we know about the creatures in Rundell’s new novel? A. They’re extinct species. B. They’re fictional but magical. C. They inhabit different planets. D. They’re real but endangered. 29. What does the underlined word “stealthy” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Secretive. B. Hesitant. C. Awkward. D. Obvious. 30. Why does the author mention the seahorse couples and the wood frog? A. To reveal animals’ bonds. B. To prove animals’ adaptability. C. To indicate animals’ amazing features. D. To contrast animals’ survival skills 31. What is Vanishing Treasures aimed at? A. Driving environmental actions. B. Sharing personal adventures. C. Resolving human-animal conflicts. D. Promoting ecological appreciation. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了Katherine Rundell的新书《Vanishing Treasures》，这是一本非虚构作品，聚焦地球上真实存在的濒危神奇生物，通过生动的叙述和科学事实，呼吁人们重新认识并珍惜这些即将消失的自然瑰宝。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容“But rather than a fantasy story, Vanishing Treasures is a nonfiction survey of some of the seemingly impossible creatures who call our planet home. As the title suggests, many of our neighbors are disappearing at an alarming rate mostly due to humanity’s irresistible greed and desire to dominate whatever is beautiful and rare.(但《Vanishing Treasures》并非一部奇幻故事，而是一本关于一些看似不可思议却生活在我们地球上的生物的非虚构作品。正如书名所示，我们的许多“邻居”正在以惊人的速度消失，这主要是由于人类无法抗拒的贪婪以及想要主宰一切美丽和稀有的事物的欲望所致。)”可知，《Vanishing Treasures》是一部非虚构作品，描述了地球上真实的生物，而这些生物正以惊人的速度消失，主要原因是人类的贪婪。因此，这些生物是真实存在的，但处于濒危状态。故选D项。 【29题详解】 词义猜测题。根据后文的细节描述“The leopard glides through the underbrush like a shadow, its powerful muscles working in perfect harmony with the silence of the forest. Each step is a silent promise of both beauty and danger.(这只豹子在灌木丛中悄无声息地滑行，宛如一片阴影。它那强壮的肌肉与森林的寂静完美地协调一致。每一步都蕴含着美丽与危险的无声承诺。)”可知，“悄无声息”，“无声承诺”都描写了豹子的行动隐蔽、安静，避免被发现，因此可推知，“stealthy”意为“隐秘的”或“偷偷摸摸的”。故选A项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。通过阅读该段可知，该段首句“The book unfolds a wealth of wonders.(这本书展现了丰富的奇迹。)”指出“书展现了丰富的奇迹”，为该段的中心主旨句，由此推知，后文“The seahorse couples meet each morning for a dance, changing colors before going their separate ways. The wood frog survives winter by allowing itself to freeze solid…(海马夫妻每天早晨都会一起跳舞，然后变换颜色后各自离开。木蛙能在冬季存活下来是因为它能够让自己完全冻结起来……)”提及的海马夫妇和木蛙是用书中的动物举例说明“丰富的奇迹”。由此推测，提及它们是为了表明“奇迹”的真实存在，显示动物的惊人特征。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段内容“This brilliant essay collection focusing on 23 unusual and underappreciated creatures serves as a forceful call insisting we re-envision the world around us—to truly recognize the fascinating animals, along with their hidden histories and remarkable capabilities and above all, to treasure the immeasurable fortune of inhabiting the same ground as such disappearing treasures.(这部精彩的文集聚焦于 23 种罕见且未得到充分重视的生物，它以强有力的呼吁形式提醒我们重新审视我们周围的世界——要真正认识到这些迷人的动物、它们隐藏的历史以及非凡的能力，最重要的是，要珍惜与这些即将消失的珍宝共处同一片土地所带来的无价之宝。)” 可知，该书是“一个强有力的呼吁”，让读者重新审视世界，真正认识动物的迷人之处、历史和能力。由此推知，该书旨在提升人们对生态的欣赏和珍视。故选D项。 D Last week, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy sent an email to his employees warning that artificial intelligence could displace them. “We will need fewer people doing some of the current jobs, but more people doing other types of jobs,” he wrote. Nothing in his email was shocking. Technological advances as far back as the printing machine have got rid of some jobs while creating many others. The real danger is that too much reliance on AI could lead to a generation of young people unequipped for the jobs of the future because they have never learned to think creatively or critically. The brain continues to develop and mature into one’s mid-20s, but like a muscle, it needs to be exercised and challenged to grow stronger. Technology, especially AI, can block this development by doing the work that the brain is expected to do. A study last year analyzed brain electrical activity of university students during the activities of handwriting and typing. Those who were handwriting showed higher levels of neural (神经) activation across more brain regions. “Whenever handwriting movements are included as a learning strategy, more of the brain gets stimulated, resulting in the formation of more complex neural network connectivity,” the researchers noted. “However, most students in colleges and many in high schools use AI tools to take notes and summarize lectures.” Why commit information to memory when AI tools can provide answers at our fingertips? For one thing, the brain can’t draw connections between ideas that aren’t there. Nothing comes from nothing. Creativity doesn’t happen unless the brain is engaged. College and high-school students also increasingly use AI tools to write papers, perform mathematical proofs, and create computer code. That means they don’t learn how to think through, express or defend ideas. “Why hire a brainless bachelor’s degree holder for a job that an AI tool can do at lower costs and with no complaint?” Andy Jassy asked by the end of the letter. 32. What is the author’s real concern? A. Human beings will be replaced by AI. B. Big companies are too eager to adopt AI. C. We are losing our ability to think properly. D. New jobs can’t be created fast enough. 33. What did the researchers find in their study? A. AI tools were wisely used by students. B. Students could benefit more from typing. C. The brain had to be challenged to stay healthy. D. Handwriting was a superior learning strategy. 34. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about? A. The convenience of AI tools. B. The need to challenge our brain. C. A function of the neural network. D. A way to memorize information. 35. What does Andy Jassy imply in his letter? A. Amazon needs creative engineers. B. Amazon will cut its workers’ salary. C. Employees should not complain. D. Bachelor’s degree holders are preferred. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者认为，我们面临的危险不是AI取代人类，而是我们过度依赖AI会导致创造性及批判性思维丧失。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The real danger is that too much reliance on AI could lead to a generation of young people unequipped for the jobs of the future because they have never learned to think creatively or critically.(真正的危险在于，对人工智能的过度依赖可能导致一代年轻人无法胜任未来的工作，因为他们从未学会创造性或批判性思考。)”可知，作者真正担心的是我们过度依赖AI会导致创造性及批判性思维丧失。故选C项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Those who were handwriting showed higher levels of neural (神经) activation across more brain regions. “Whenever handwriting movements are included as a learning strategy, more of the brain gets stimulated, resulting in the formation of more complex neural network connectivity,” the researchers noted. (那些手写的人在更多的大脑区域表现出更高水平的神经激活。研究者强调：“当手写动作被作为一种学习策略时，大脑的更多部分会受到刺激，从而形成更复杂的神经网络连接。”)”可知，手写的人在更多的大脑区域表现出更高水平的神经激活，当手写动作被作为一种学习策略时，大脑的更多部分会受到刺激，从而形成更复杂的神经网络连接，由此可知研究人员发现手写是一种更优越的学习策略。故选D项。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“Why commit information to memory when AI tools can provide answers at our fingertips? For one thing, the brain can’t draw connections between ideas that aren’t there. Nothing comes from nothing. Creativity doesn’t happen unless the brain is engaged.(当人工智能工具触手可及就能提供答案时，为什么还要把信息记在脑子里呢？一方面，大脑无法在不存在的想法之间建立联系。无中不能生有。除非大脑参与其中，否则创造力不会产生。)”可知，该段主要讨论了即使有AI工具，我们仍需让大脑参与思考、锻炼大脑的必要性，即挑战大脑的需求。故选B项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Why hire a brainless bachelor’s degree holder for a job that an AI tool can do at lower costs and with no complaint?(为什么要雇佣一个没有头脑的学士学位持有者去做一份人工智能工具能以更低成本、毫无怨言完成的工作呢？)”可知，Andy Jassy认为不能雇佣一个没有头脑的学士学位持有者去做一份人工智能工具能以更低成本、毫无怨言完成的工作，可推理出他暗示那些只会依赖AI、没有独立思考能力的人将不被需要，反之，具备思考能力、有创造力的人（如创造性工程师）才是企业所需要的。故选A项。 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。 Summer vacation has begun for many of us, and chances are your kids are spending their free time in front of a screen instead of enjoying the nice weather.

Actually 58. what 59. to negotiate 60. was documented 61. under 62. withdrew 63. encouraging 64. left 65. an 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了贸易、好奇心和文化交流对人类伟大成就的重要性，以及古代丝绸之路和郑和下西洋等贸易与探索活动，还提及了当今中国在相关区域的投资及未来探索的必要性。 【56题详解】 考查名词。句意：贸易、好奇心以及文化交流，常常构成了人类最伟大成就的基础。定冠词the后需接名词，found的名词形式为foundation，意为“基础”，作宾语。故填foundation。 【57题详解】 考查副词。句意：事实上，东方的商人和探险家从东向西航行的时间比哥伦布首次航行的时间要早得多。此处位于句首，修饰整个句子，应用副词actually，意为“事实上”，首字母大写。故填Actually。 【58题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：在古代，中国的丝绸沿着后来被称为丝绸之路的路线流通。along后接宾语从句，从句中缺少主语，表示“……的事物”，应用what引导。故填what。 【59题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在这里，来自中国和其他许多地方的商人会面，协商贸易协定。此处表示目的，应用动词不定式to negotiate作目的状语。故填to negotiate。 【60题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：几个世纪以来，更多的贸易活动使得人们对中国西部的地区有了更多探索，这些在8世纪杜环的《经行记》中有记载。which引导非限制性定语从句，指代前面整个句子，与document之间是被动关系，即“这些探索活动被记录”，且事情发生在过去，应用一般过去时的被动语态，其结构为“was/were +过去分词”，which指代的内容为单数，所以用was documented。故填was documented。 【61题详解】 考查介词。句意：在1405年到1433年间，在郑和的率领下，七支大型舰队向西航行，进行贸易和探索之旅。under the command of为固定短语，意为“在……的指挥下”。故填under。 【62题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：尽管1433年之后中国停止了进一步的远航，但几个世纪以来，这些陆路和海路仍然是不同文化之间活跃的交流通道。根据时间状语“after 1433”可知，此处描述的是过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时，withdraw的过去式为withdrew。故填withdrew。 【63题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：如今，中国已经在这些路线沿线的系统和服务上投资了数十亿美元，鼓励在历史上丝绸之路地区开展合作与贸易。句中已有谓语动词“has invested”，encourage需用非谓语形式。encourage与逻辑主语“China”之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词encouraging作伴随状语，表示与“has invested billions in systems and services along these routes”同时发生的动作。故填encouraging。 【64题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：还有许多其他地方有待探索，仍然迫切需要研究其他重要项目，这将推动中国在未来继续远航。此处为“with +宾语+宾语补足语”的结构，leave与“many other places”之间是被动关系，即“地方被留下（有待探索）”，所以用过去分词left作宾语补足语。故填left。 【65题详解】 考查冠词。句意：还有许多其他地方有待探索，仍然迫切需要研究其他重要项目，这将推动中国在未来继续远航。need此处为可数名词，意为“需要的事物”，此处表示泛指“一种迫切的需要”，且urgent是以元音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词an。故填an。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66. “The future depends on what you do today.”是一句名言。请以此为题用英语写一篇短文，内容包括： （1）对这句话的理解； （2）举例说明。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The future depends on what you do today ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The future depends on what you do today The saying reminds us that what we do is the building blocks of our future.

She had prepared lots of snacks, while my job was to have the backyard in order. There was plenty of space for the kids to run and play. There was just one thing I hadn’t counted on: My brother chose to bring his dog Toby, a 50-pound ball of fire. Though friendly, he could easily knock over my niece’s small boys and my six-month-old granddaughter. So, when my brother showed up, I asked him to watch Toby and keep him outside. My plan was working out just fine. Toby was using up his energy by running back and forth in the backyard and giving the kids plenty of room. Unexpectedly, after supper, the weather changed. It started to rain and everyone went indoors. It was an awkward moment. I didn’t want Toby to be running around in the house, and my brother wasn’t happy with driving home with a wet dog. Eventually, my brother decided to leave rather than force the issue. A few days passed, and I hadn’t heard anything from my brother. I texted him and expressed wishes for him to come out again. His reply came as a surprise — a shock, actually: “Not a chance.” Clearly, he was unhappy over the way we had parted. After all, I had left him little choice. Well, he’ll get over it, I reasoned. Two months passed. My wife suggested I get in touch with my brother, but I resisted, thinking he should call first. However, my conscience (良心) kept bothering me. I tried to put myself in my brother’s shoes. He was facing health issues and his wife of thirty-five years had passed away a few months earlier. Toby was his constant companion, the one who kept him going. 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 realized it was me who was at fault. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the biscuits my wife had made, I arrived at my brother’s door. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I realized it was me who was at fault. I had been so focused on keeping the party under control that I failed to consider how important Toby was to my brother during this difficult time. My pride had kept me from reaching out, and now months had passed without a proper conversation. One evening, I picked up the phone and left him a voice message, apologizing for my behavior and asking if we could meet. To my relief, he called back the next day, and we agreed to get together soon. With the biscuits my wife had made, I arrived at my brother’s door. He opened it with a surprised smile, and for a moment, neither of us spoke. Then we hugged — something we hadn’t done since before his wife passed away. We sat on the porch with Toby resting beside us, and I handed him the box of biscuits. “Thank you,” he said quietly. We talked for hours, laughing, remembering old times, and slowly rebuilding what had been lost. As I watched Toby gently rest his head on my brother’s leg, I knew we were finally on the path to healing. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者因担心弟弟的狗Toby影响聚会，要求弟弟看好狗，后因天气变化导致弟弟提前离开并心生芥蒂。两个月后作者意识到自己的过错，主动带着妻子做的饼干登门道歉，最终兄弟俩和解的故事，展现了亲情中理解与包容的重要性。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我意识到是我错了。” 可知，第一段可描写作者反思自己在聚会上只顾控制局面，忽视了Toby对弟弟的重要性，因骄傲迟迟未联系弟弟，最终通过电话留言道歉并约定见面。 ②由第二段首句内容“带着妻子做的饼干，我来到了弟弟家门口。”可知，第二段可描写弟弟开门时的惊讶与沉默，兄弟俩拥抱和解，坐在门廊上谈心，看着Toby依偎在弟弟腿边，明白亲情修复的意义。 2. 续写线索：反思过错——电话留言道歉——约定见面——带饼干登门——拥抱沉默——谈心和解——领悟亲情 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①道歉：apologize/say sorry/make an apology ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③重建：rebuild/restore/reconstruct 情绪类： ①宽慰：relief/comfort/satisfaction/ease ②惊讶：surprised /shocked/astonished 【点睛】[高分句型1] I had been so focused on keeping the party under control that I failed to consider how important Toby was to my brother during this difficult time.（运用了“so...that...”引导结果状语从句以及how引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] One evening, I picked up the phone and left him a voice message, apologizing for my behavior and asking if we could meet.（运用了现在分词短语作状语以及if引导的宾语从句） [高分句型 3] As I watched Toby gently rest his head on my brother’s leg, I knew we were finally on the path to healing.（运用了as引导时间状语从句以及省略that的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 山东省济南市2026-2027学年高三上学期英语期中考模拟卷 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。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Where does the conversation probably take place?

Each has a personality shaped by the goods and services produced and traded for centuries. But each town has more to do than shop. Hereford, Herefordshire Hereford has remained a lively market town since 1189. Skirting the town square, you’ll find lovely shops, eateries, and the Black and White House Museum. The Hereford Cathedral is the most impressive building in town. It’s also home to an ancient library. One of the four original copies of the Magna Carta is displayed there. Ludlow, Shropshire Ludlow is known as the Foodie Center of England. Butcher shops, greengrocers, bakeries, and cheese shops line the town square. Bordering the square, the Ludlow Castle is a “must explore” medieval stronghold. The three-day Ludlow Food Festival is held each September. Shrewsbury, Shropshire Getting to Shrewsbury Town Center from London is challenging but worth the anxiety. The River Severn has a significant turn through town, almost making an island of Shrewsbury Town Center. The shape creates a perfect market where goods could be shipped and received using the river as a highway. Flowers are everywhere—hanging baskets, window boxes, and planters—just what you imagine in an attractive English market town. Mevagissey, Cornwall Even if you haven’t been to the small fishing village Mevagissey, you’ve probably seen it in a movie or British TV show. The working harbor (港口) took shape in 1774. Fishermen go out to sea daily and sell their fish in harbor-side markets. Don’t leave the harbor without a traditional Cornish pie. It’s delicious. 21.

B Ashu Jain, a 57-year-old Indian woman who once struggled as a homemaker with exhaustion and social expectations, has now become a social media star and fitness influencer, rewriting the narrative about ageing and motherhood. Having spent her previous decades fulfilling traditional roles as a wife, mother and caregiver, Ashu faced the invisible weight of the common belief that her time for chasing dreams had long passed. But she wasn’t ready to fade into the background. “Mothers of my age reach a point where our responsibilities peak and our dreams take a back seat. My family had my back and I found the courage to reclaim mine,” shares Ashu. At 44, she. resolved to pick up her education. The decision wasn’t easy. Pursuing her studies meant making trade-offs-meals weren’t perfectly timed, the house looked lived-in, and exam dates conflicted with family plans. But the family adjusted and she managed to finish her PhD course. Then came the health scare in March 2022 when she was 54. Her blood pressure shot up and the doctor suggested lifelong medication. “That moment was a wake-up call,” she recalls. “I didn’t want to submit to a dependent old age.” Determined to turn her condition around naturally, she opted for physical activities and joined a gym, a turning point in her life. “What truly astonished me was how much our bodies can change with right efforts and consistent self-care,” she said. Today, her daily routine which reflects the discipline she’s well established begins at 4 a. m. with a refreshing glass of water, followed by a handful of nuts. Then it’s time for gym training, where she focuses on strength sessions and deadlifts. She alternates between yoga, running and walks throughout the week, ensuring a mix of activities. Ashu launched her social media journey with occasional Instagram posts under @not.just.a.grandma. Her videos featuring workouts, recipes, and an active lifestyle quickly went viral, inspiring millions. Her advice to women is, “Don’t stop just because you are ageing. You can redefine what it means to age with purpose, strength and joy.” 24. What was the attitude of Ashu’s family toward her going for her dream?. A. Favourable. B. Critical. C. Dismissive. D. Doubtful. 25. What did Ashu give up to obtain her PhD? A. Her physical well-being. B. An orderly household routine. C. Family union and stability. D. Her role as a wife and mother. 26. What drove Ashu to start her physical training in her 50s? A. The end of her motherly duties. B. Her desire to follow social trends. C. Her refusal to use medicine for health. D. The encouragement from the doctor. 27. What can we learn from Ashu’s story? A. Rome wasn’t built in a day. B. It’s never too late to start afresh. C. The early bird catches the worm. D. Actions speak louder than words. C Katherine Rundell’s follow-up to 2023’s Impossible Creatures—a novel that sees two children trying to protect “the world’s last magical place”, which is home to all manner of imaginary beings—goes hand in hand with the previous one. But rather than a fantasy story, Vanishing Treasures is a nonfiction survey of some of the seemingly impossible creatures who call our planet home. As the title suggests, many of our neighbors are disappearing at an alarming rate mostly due to humanity’s irresistible greed and desire to dominate whatever is beautiful and rare. In this book, Katherine Rundell takes us on a tour of the world’s most awe-inspiring animals currently facing extinction. She combines history and personal experiences with a vivid storytelling style. Her own observations and interactions color her description of each animal in an accessible way, which is as enjoyable to read as the facts. Having witnessed the Amur leopard’s stealthy approach to its victim while tracking it, Rundell writes, “The leopard glides through the underbrush like a shadow, its powerful muscles working in perfect harmony with the silence of the forest. Each step is a silent promise of both beauty and danger.” The book unfolds a wealth of wonders. The seahorse couples meet each morning for a dance, changing colors before going their separate ways. The wood frog survives winter by allowing itself to freeze solid, its heartbeat slowing until it stops altogether. When spring comes, the heart kick-starts itself naturally back to life. Regrettably, these extraordinary animals are each on the border of extinction. This brilliant essay collection focusing on 23 unusual and underappreciated creatures serves as a forceful call insisting we re-envision the world around us—to truly recognize the fascinating animals, along with their hidden histories and remarkable capabilities and above all, to treasure the immeasurable fortune of inhabiting the same ground as such disappearing treasures. Beautifully illustrated, and full of intellect, Vanishing Treasures is a chance to be awestruck and lovestruck, to engage with the world’s beauty and its delicate nature and its strangeness. 28. What do we know about the creatures in Rundell’s new novel? A. They’re extinct species. B. They’re fictional but magical. C. They inhabit different planets. D. They’re real but endangered. 29. What does the underlined word “stealthy” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Secretive. B. Hesitant. C. Awkward. D. Obvious. 30. Why does the author mention the seahorse couples and the wood frog? A. To reveal animals’ bonds. B. To prove animals’ adaptability. C. To indicate animals’ amazing features. D. To contrast animals’ survival skills 31. What is Vanishing Treasures aimed at? A. Driving environmental actions. B. Sharing personal adventures. C. Resolving human-animal conflicts. D. Promoting ecological appreciation. D Last week, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy sent an email to his employees warning that artificial intelligence could displace them. “We will need fewer people doing some of the current jobs, but more people doing other types of jobs,” he wrote. Nothing in his email was shocking. Technological advances as far back as the printing machine have got rid of some jobs while creating many others. The real danger is that too much reliance on AI could lead to a generation of young people unequipped for the jobs of the future because they have never learned to think creatively or critically. The brain continues to develop and mature into one’s mid-20s, but like a muscle, it needs to be exercised and challenged to grow stronger. Technology, especially AI, can block this development by doing the work that the brain is expected to do. A study last year analyzed brain electrical activity of university students during the activities of handwriting and typing. Those who were handwriting showed higher levels of neural (神经) activation across more brain regions. “Whenever handwriting movements are included as a learning strategy, more of the brain gets stimulated, resulting in the formation of more complex neural network connectivity,” the researchers noted. “However, most students in colleges and many in high schools use AI tools to take notes and summarize lectures.” Why commit information to memory when AI tools can provide answers at our fingertips? For one thing, the brain can’t draw connections between ideas that aren’t there. Nothing comes from nothing. Creativity doesn’t happen unless the brain is engaged. College and high-school students also increasingly use AI tools to write papers, perform mathematical proofs, and create computer code. That means they don’t learn how to think through, express or defend ideas. “Why hire a brainless bachelor’s degree holder for a job that an AI tool can do at lower costs and with no complaint?” Andy Jassy asked by the end of the letter. 32. What is the author’s real concern? A. Human beings will be replaced by AI. B. Big companies are too eager to adopt AI. C. We are losing our ability to think properly. D. New jobs can’t be created fast enough. 33. What did the researchers find in their study? A. AI tools were wisely used by students. B. Students could benefit more from typing. C. The brain had to be challenged to stay healthy. D. Handwriting was a superior learning strategy. 34. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about? A. The convenience of AI tools. B. The need to challenge our brain. C. A function of the neural network. D. A way to memorize information. 35. What does Andy Jassy imply in his letter? A. Amazon needs creative engineers. B. Amazon will cut its workers’ salary. C. Employees should not complain. D. Bachelor’s degree holders are preferred. 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。 Summer vacation has begun for many of us, and chances are your kids are spending their free time in front of a screen instead of enjoying the nice weather.

She had prepared lots of snacks, while my job was to have the backyard in order. There was plenty of space for the kids to run and play. There was just one thing I hadn’t counted on: My brother chose to bring his dog Toby, a 50-pound ball of fire. Though friendly, he could easily knock over my niece’s small boys and my six-month-old granddaughter. So, when my brother showed up, I asked him to watch Toby and keep him outside. My plan was working out just fine. Toby was using up his energy by running back and forth in the backyard and giving the kids plenty of room. Unexpectedly, after supper, the weather changed. It started to rain and everyone went indoors. It was an awkward moment. I didn’t want Toby to be running around in the house, and my brother wasn’t happy with driving home with a wet dog. Eventually, my brother decided to leave rather than force the issue. A few days passed, and I hadn’t heard anything from my brother. I texted him and expressed wishes for him to come out again. His reply came as a surprise — a shock, actually: “Not a chance.” Clearly, he was unhappy over the way we had parted. After all, I had left him little choice. Well, he’ll get over it, I reasoned. Two months passed. My wife suggested I get in touch with my brother, but I resisted, thinking he should call first. However, my conscience (良心) kept bothering me. I tried to put myself in my brother’s shoes. He was facing health issues and his wife of thirty-five years had passed away a few months earlier. Toby was his constant companion, the one who kept him going. 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 realized it was me who was at fault. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the biscuits my wife had made, I arrived at my brother’s door. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。The view is amazing.

We're developing a tool to help blind people see, again, specifically, those who lost their site because of an accident. Sounds great. How will this new tool work? Well, IT uses a computer chip and special glasses. We start by putting the chip into the blind person's eye. The chip is very, very small, of course, and the glasses have a very small video camera inside. So how do the computer chip and glasses work together? Well, a blind person puts on the glasses and looks at something. For example, this pen and the video camera in the glasses takes a picture of the pen. The camera then sends the picture to the computer chip in the person's eyes. and then the person can see the pen exactly. This whole process happens very quickly. of course. wow. Now using this tool, will a blind person be able to see as well as . a Normal person? No, they won't have perfect vision, but they will be able to see many things. This tool is still new, but for many of the people in our study, IT has changed their lives. Doctor Spencer, thanks for joining us today. My pleasure.
