Overtourism has made this clear. As outlined in our blog, ecotourism mainly includes wildlife viewing, cultural ecotourism, hiking and recreation and citizen science and voluntourism. Wildlife Viewing Responsible wildlife viewing offers the chance to observe animals behaving naturally and moving freely within healthy ecosystems. This may involve guided forest walks to spot birds, watching elephants walking across open plains, or observing whales from a distance. Cultural Ecotourism Cultural ecotourism offers insight into local traditions and lifestyles. Experiences may include learning from long-established communities, visiting important sites, or joining nature-related activities. Such activities must get permission from local communities and should directly benefit communities, ensuring heritage is shared on the community’s own terms. Hiking and Recreation Hiking and recreation ecotourism activities might include cycling along coastlines, or snowshoeing through valleys. These activities slow the pace of travel, making it easier to notice details like wildflowers or bird songs that are often missed. To be considered ecotourism, recreational activities must follow the Leave No Trace principles, stay on selected roads and park legally. Citizen Science and Voluntourism Citizen science and voluntourism engage travelers in hands-on conservation activities such as wildlife monitoring, habitat restoration, or road maintenance. These experiences give participants a clearer understanding of environmental challenges while supporting scientific research. Well-designed activities create a mutually beneficial exchange: travelers learn from local experts, and conservation programs gain extra capacity. 1. Which experience requires local permission? A. Wildlife Viewing. B. Cultural Ecotourism. C. Hiking and Recreation. D. Citizen Science and Voluntourism. 2. Which activity belongs to Citizen Science and Voluntourism? A. Riding trained elephants. B. Repairing natural paths. C. Visiting tourist-only villages. D. Taking photos with dolphins closely. 3. What is the author’s purpose of writing the blog? A. To tell travel stories. B. To explain overtourism. C. To introduce real ecotourism. D. To show fun outdoor activities. B Maria Onate had not read a book until her son started high school. Her parents ended her education when she was 15 to prepare her for marriage and work. Decades later, at her son’s new high school, she joined a book club for immigrant parents. Maria’s early hesitation turned into enthusiasm shortly after she attended the book club meetings, where she and 15 other Latina mothers passionately discussed novels. Principal Torres Flores started the club. She noticed that parents’ involvement directly influenced students’ attitudes toward reading. Initially, like Maria, only a few parents joined the club, doubting their ability to read at a high level. Over time, the group grew to a core of 15 regular members, mostly mothers, who proudly call themselves lifelong learners. The book club meetings are an extension of the parents’ involvement in their children’s education. The book club often discusses stories that provide a valuable reference for family life. For example, The Diary of a Young Girl inspired perseverance, while Rain of Gold sparked deep discussions about family and tradition. Beyond reading, the club empowers them to take on leadership roles at school and share their love of books at home. The schedule for the book club is tight, but the mothers still find time to attend. They even organize activities for other parents and contribute to the school’s energetic community. The positive impact extends to their families. Parents who once spent weekends watching TV now enjoy reading with their children. Research shows that having books at home has a positive effect on children’s studies. For many, the club has inspired them to create personal libraries, fostering a culture of learning. Torres Flores believes these efforts benefit both parents and students. Parents feel more confident and connected to the school, while students see the value of education. At the end of a meeting, the group selects a new book to read together, often choosing stories that offer lessons they can apply to their families. For these parents, the book club is more than a reading group; it influences their children and supports their future. 4. Why did Maria hesitate to join the book club initially? A. Her parents discouraged her. B. She was an immigrant parent. C. Only a few parents joined it. D. It was beyond her reading ability. 5. What’s the main purpose of Torres starting the book club? A. To strengthen parents’ modelling influence. B. To develop parents’ communication skills. C. To have parents teach children how to read. D. To discuss children’s problems with parents. 6. How do students benefit from the book club? A. They will enjoy powerful family libraries. B. They can achieve greater academic success. C. They will be invited to manage a school. D. They can learn how to organize activities. 7. What is the main theme of the passage? A. Many hands make light work. B. Parental influence plays a vital role. C. Hard work eventually bears fruit. D. Reading is what makes a difference. C Want to lose fat? There’s one method scientifically proven to work: eating a little less food than your body needs to fuel itself each day. Do that, and your body starts using its energy reserves — its stored fat — to make up the deficit. It sounds straightforward. You dutifully keep track of the calories in every meal to make sure your daily intake stays less than your fixed limit, but the number on your weight scale never changes at all. It’s frustrating and disheartening. But there’s good news: you’re not to blame. Recent scientific findings suggest it’s almost impossible to count calories with any degree of accuracy, which explains why trying to lose weight by calorie counting is so hard. It’s not bad maths that trips most of us up, though. Generally, unless you diligently log every ingredient before you eat, humans just aren’t very good at recalling exactly what was on their plate, let alone the handful of snacks they ate without thinking. Given all that, it’s no surprise that studies suggest the average person underestimates their daily consumption by around 30 per cent (roughly 600-750 calories), or about 10 digestive biscuits. The very idea of working out calorie amounts is problematic. And that’s before we even consider the effect your individual biology can have. For instance, a 2023 study tested the outcomes of giving people a high-fibre diet, designed to feed their gut microbes (肠道菌群). With growing microbial communities in their guts, the scientists found that the participants in the study lost a little bit of weight — without eating less or feeling hungry — because they were absorbing fewer calories from their food. “That means, depending on what you eat and how many microbes are thriving (旺盛繁殖) in your gut, some calories are used by you, while others feed the microbes.” says Professor Rosa Brown, a co-author of the study. If all this is starting to make you think that calorie monitoring might be off the menu, you’d be right. 8. What does the underlined word “deficit” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Database. B. Shortfall. C. Nutrition. D. Weight. 9. What makes it hard for dieters to count calories? A. Inaccuracy of intake records. B. Lack of tracking approaches. C. Absence of scientific evidence. D. Complexity of calculation procedures. 10. What can we learn from the 2023 study? A. Calorie absorption may vary. B. Eating less means losing weight. C. Fibre reduces people’s hunger. D. Food calories determine body weight. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Forget the Strict Diet B. Simplify Your Calorie Log C. Skip the Dietary Math D. Adjust Your Diet Structure D For years, smartphones and computers have threatened to make handwriting outdated. As a reporter who now works primarily on a keyboard, I’m worried that even my carefully developed handwriting — once modeled after my engineer mother’s perfect block letters — is fading (退化). This concern reflects a broader societal shift: emails replaced letters, smartphones replaced paper notes and calendars, and US schools have increasingly prioritized typing over writing. More recently, AI has further reduced the need for humans to write anything down, making handwriting seem truly set to disappear. Yet this decline may carry drawbacks that are often ignored. Research by Karen Ray at the University of Newcastle suggests that children who grow up holding devices rather than pencils often show lower overall motor proficiency (动作熟练度) than previous standards, potentially leaving them less prepared to learn handwriting when they enter kindergarten. Actually, handwriting really matters because most experts agree that it offers significant cognitive (认知的) benefits. According to psychologist Robert Wiley, writing by hand helps students learn to read and improves memory more effectively than typing. Beyond the classroom, STEM professionals still need basic handwriting skills for problem-solving and lab notes. Beyond these concerns, overreliance on keyboards can also lead to “character amnesia (提笔忘字)” — a phenomenon where people gradually forget how to physically form letters they rarely write. Surprisingly, this very dependence on digital tools may now cause a handwriting comeback. To fight cheating with ChatGPT, university professors are reportedly bringing back handwritten exams, driving up sales of traditional “blue books.” However, this return raises serious fairness concerns. As author Anne Trubek notes, judging students by their handwriting risks punishing those with poor handwriting regardless of their actual cognitive ability or the quality of their arguments. Ultimately, as AI increasingly offloads critical thinking from humans, handwriting may evolve from an endangered skill into one of the few remaining ways to prove authentic human comprehension. Like students showing their work in math class to prove they understand what calculators do, putting pen to paper is becoming a vital demonstration of genuine understanding. 12. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1? A. By analyzing social changes. B. By comparing old and new habits. C. By sharing a personal experience. D. By predicting the end of handwriting. 13. What is mainly discussed in paragraph 2? A. Experts’ disagreement on handwriting. B. The cognitive benefits of writing by hand. C. The motor skills of device-heavy children. D. The hidden costs of handwriting’s decline. 14. Why are handwritten exams reportedly being brought back? A. To prevent AI-assisted cheating. B. To address character amnesia. C. To improve students’ handwriting. D. To promote the sales of “blue books”. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward the future of handwriting? A. Worried. B. Hopeful. C. Doubtful. D. Neutral. 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。 If you find yourself thinking, “I am a failure,” it’s important to know that there are things you can do to feel better. Knowing how to cope (应对) with failure in a healthy way takes some of the fear out of it. ___16___ First of all, it’s important to acknowledge that everybody fails at one time or another, but that doesn’t make us failures—it just means we are human, and that things didn’t work out this time.

If you’ve spent most of your life avoiding failure, it can feel really scary when it finally happens. Facing your fears, however, can be the key to reducing the discomfort. ___20___ Do things that might get you rejected or try new things where you could fail.

Tucker sat absent-mindedly in one of the library chairs. Most of the students wanted to hear about the writer’s work. Tucker did not. “Why bother?” Tucker thought to himself. He always received low marks on his writing assignments, no matter how hard he worked on them. He could never think of anything interesting to write about. “Does anyone have any questions?” Mrs Flippen asked her class. Tucker raised his hand, “How do you know what to write about?” “Well, sometimes I don’t,” the author replied. “It takes a lot of hard work to come up with ideas.” She reached down and pulled a worn-looking book from a cloth bag on the floor. “I find making a scrapbook (剪贴簿) helps.” Tucker sat up a little straighter in his seat. “What’s in the book?” he asked. “I fill it with pictures, stories, and notes about things that interest me.” The writer opened the scrapbook on her knee. “When I need an idea, I look through the book instead of staring at a blank page.” Tucker thought about the author’s scrapbook as he walked home. He thought about staring at a blank page each time he tried to write a story. Digging in his bookcase, Tucker found an old binder (活页夹). He filled the binder with notepaper from his desk. After supper, Tucker cut some pictures out of the newspaper. Then he drew some pictures of his own. He cut and pasted (粘贴) stories from his old magazines. Then he looked up the words he did not know and wrote down their meanings. In the days and weeks that followed, Tucker collected more ideas. He found that the more he collected, the easier it became to find things to collect. Tucker’s book of ideas grew fatter and fatter. 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。 One morning, Mrs Flippen told the class about a story writing competition. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then came the day when the headmaster announced the result. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 长沙市实验中学2027届高三第三次阶段检测 英语试题 本试卷共四部分,共 10 页 满分:150 分 时间:120 分钟 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分 30 分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共 5 小题;每小题 1.5 分,满分 7.5 分) 听下面5段对话。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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了真正的生态旅游的四种类型——野生动物观赏、文化生态旅游、徒步与休闲以及公民科学与志愿旅游。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Cultural Ecotourism部分中“Such activities must get permission from local communities and should directly benefit communities, ensuring heritage is shared on the community's own terms. (此类活动必须获得当地社区的许可，并应直接惠及社区，确保遗产以社区自身的方式分享。)”可知，文化生态旅游需要获得当地社区的许可。。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Citizen Science and Voluntourism部分中“Citizen science and voluntourism engage travelers in hands-on conservation activities such as wildlife monitoring, habitat restoration, or road maintenance. (公民科学和志愿旅游让旅行者参与动手保护活动，如野生动物监测、栖息地恢复或道路维护。)”可知，修复自然步道属于公民科学与志愿旅游的范畴。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Not every outdoor or nature-based activity qualifies as ecotourism. Overtourism has made this clear. As outlined in our blog, ecotourism mainly includes wildlife viewing, cultural ecotourism, hiking and recreation and citizen science and voluntourism. (并非所有户外或以自然为基础的活动都符合生态旅游的定义。过度旅游已经清楚地表明了这一点。正如我们在博客中所述，生态旅游主要包括野生动物观赏、文化生态旅游、徒步旅行与休闲活动以及公民科学与志愿旅游。)”可知，全文围绕“什么才是真正的生态旅游”展开，逐一介绍四种类型及其标准，目的是向读者介绍真正的生态旅游。 B Maria Onate had not read a book until her son started high school.

Beyond reading, the club empowers them to take on leadership roles at school and share their love of books at home. The schedule for the book club is tight, but the mothers still find time to attend. They even organize activities for other parents and contribute to the school’s energetic community. The positive impact extends to their families. Parents who once spent weekends watching TV now enjoy reading with their children. Research shows that having books at home has a positive effect on children’s studies. For many, the club has inspired them to create personal libraries, fostering a culture of learning. Torres Flores believes these efforts benefit both parents and students. Parents feel more confident and connected to the school, while students see the value of education. At the end of a meeting, the group selects a new book to read together, often choosing stories that offer lessons they can apply to their families. For these parents, the book club is more than a reading group; it influences their children and supports their future. 4. Why did Maria hesitate to join the book club initially? A. Her parents discouraged her. B. She was an immigrant parent. C. Only a few parents joined it. D. It was beyond her reading ability. 5. What’s the main purpose of Torres starting the book club? A. To strengthen parents’ modelling influence. B. To develop parents’ communication skills. C. To have parents teach children how to read. D. To discuss children’s problems with parents. 6. How do students benefit from the book club? A. They will enjoy powerful family libraries. B. They can achieve greater academic success. C. They will be invited to manage a school. D. They can learn how to organize activities. 7. What is the main theme of the passage? A. Many hands make light work. B. Parental influence plays a vital role. C. Hard work eventually bears fruit. D. Reading is what makes a difference. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲的是校长Torres Flores创办移民家长读书俱乐部。原本缺乏阅读能力的家长参与其中，收获成长；家长在家养成阅读习惯，进而影响孩子，让孩子受益，实现家校共赢。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Initially, like Maria, only a few parents joined the club, doubting their ability to read at a high level.(起初，和Maria一样，只有少数家长加入俱乐部，他们怀疑自己能否进行高水平阅读。)”可知，玛丽亚最初对加入读书俱乐部感到犹豫的原因是她认为读书俱乐部超出了自己的阅读能力。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Principal Torres Flores started the club. She noticed that parents’ involvement directly influenced students’ attitudes toward reading.(读书俱乐部由校长托雷斯·弗洛雷斯创办。她注意到，家长的参与直接影响学生对阅读的态度。)”可知，托雷斯创办读书俱乐部的主要目的是加强家长的榜样作用。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Research shows that having books at home has a positive effect on children’s studies.(研究表明，在家中拥有书籍对孩子的学业有积极影响。)”可知，学生从读书俱乐部中能获得的好处是能够取得更大的学业成就。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“For these parents, the book club is more than a reading group; it influences their children and supports their future.(对这些家长而言，读书俱乐部远不止是一个阅读团体，它影响着他们的孩子，也支持着他们的未来。)”可知，本文主要讲的是校长Torres Flores创办移民家长读书俱乐部。原本缺乏阅读能力的家长参与其中，收获成长；家长在家养成阅读习惯，进而影响孩子，让孩子受益，实现家校共赢，因此本文的主题是B选项“Parental influence plays a vital role.(家长的影响至关重要。)”。 C Want to lose fat? There’s one method scientifically proven to work: eating a little less food than your body needs to fuel itself each day. Do that, and your body starts using its energy reserves — its stored fat — to make up the deficit. It sounds straightforward. You dutifully keep track of the calories in every meal to make sure your daily intake stays less than your fixed limit, but the number on your weight scale never changes at all. It’s frustrating and disheartening. But there’s good news: you’re not to blame. Recent scientific findings suggest it’s almost impossible to count calories with any degree of accuracy, which explains why trying to lose weight by calorie counting is so hard. It’s not bad maths that trips most of us up, though. Generally, unless you diligently log every ingredient before you eat, humans just aren’t very good at recalling exactly what was on their plate, let alone the handful of snacks they ate without thinking. Given all that, it’s no surprise that studies suggest the average person underestimates their daily consumption by around 30 per cent (roughly 600-750 calories), or about 10 digestive biscuits. The very idea of working out calorie amounts is problematic. And that’s before we even consider the effect your individual biology can have. For instance, a 2023 study tested the outcomes of giving people a high-fibre diet, designed to feed their gut microbes (肠道菌群). With growing microbial communities in their guts, the scientists found that the participants in the study lost a little bit of weight — without eating less or feeling hungry — because they were absorbing fewer calories from their food. “That means, depending on what you eat and how many microbes are thriving (旺盛繁殖) in your gut, some calories are used by you, while others feed the microbes.” says Professor Rosa Brown, a co-author of the study. If all this is starting to make you think that calorie monitoring might be off the menu, you’d be right. 8. What does the underlined word “deficit” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Database. B. Shortfall. C. Nutrition. D. Weight. 9. What makes it hard for dieters to count calories? A. Inaccuracy of intake records. B. Lack of tracking approaches. C. Absence of scientific evidence. D. Complexity of calculation procedures. 10. What can we learn from the 2023 study? A. Calorie absorption may vary. B. Eating less means losing weight. C. Fibre reduces people’s hunger. D. Food calories determine body weight. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Forget the Strict Diet B. Simplify Your Calorie Log C. Skip the Dietary Math D. Adjust Your Diet Structure 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了通过计算卡路里来减肥的方法之所以困难重重，是因为人类难以准确记录饮食摄入，且个体生物学差异（如肠道菌群）会影响卡路里的吸收，因此卡路里监测可能并不可行。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“eating a little less food than your body needs to fuel itself each day. Do that, and your body starts using its energy reserves — its stored fat — to make up the … (每天摄入比身体所需略少的食物。这样做，你的身体就会开始使用其能量储备——储存的脂肪——来弥补……。)”可知，前文提到了(每天摄入比身体所需略少的食物，还提到了你的身体就会开始使用其能量储备，可推理出划线词的含义为“不足”，与B项“Shortfall(不足，短缺)”意思相近。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Recent scientific findings suggest it’s almost impossible to count calories with any degree of accuracy, which explains why trying to lose weight by calorie counting is so hard. It’s not bad maths that trips most of us up, though. Generally, unless you diligently log every ingredient before you eat, humans just aren’t very good at recalling exactly what was on their plate, let alone the handful of snacks they ate without thinking. (近期的科学研究表明，想要精准计算卡路里几乎是不可能的，这也解释了为什么靠计算卡路里减肥如此困难。不过，困扰大多数人的并不是计算失误。一般来说，除非你在进食前认真记录每一样食材，否则人们很难准确回忆起自己盘中究竟吃了什么，更不用说那些不知不觉吃下的少量零食。)”以及“studies suggest the average person underestimates their daily consumption by around 30 per cent (研究表明普通人每天低估约30%的摄入量)”可知，让节食者难以计算卡路里的原因是摄入记录的不准确。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“With growing microbial communities in their guts, the scientists found that the participants in the study lost a little bit of weight — without eating less or feeling hungry — because they were absorbing fewer calories from their food. (随着肠道微生物群落的生长，研究人员发现参与者在没有少吃、也没有感到饥饿的情况下减了一点重，因为他们从食物中吸收的卡路里变少了。)”以及第五段“depending on what you eat and how many microbes are thriving in your gut, some calories are used by you, while others feed the microbes. (取决于你吃什么以及肠道中有多少微生物在旺盛繁殖，有些卡路里被你吸收，有些则喂养了微生物。)”可知，卡路里的吸收因人而异（受肠道菌群影响）。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“It sounds straightforward. You dutifully keep track of the calories in every meal to make sure your daily intake stays less than your fixed limit, but the number on your weight scale never changes at all. It’s frustrating and disheartening. But there’s good news: you’re not to blame. (这听起来简单明了。你认真记录每一餐的卡路里，确保每日摄入量低于设定的上限，可是体重秤上的数字却丝毫不变。这让人倍感沮丧、灰心丧气。不过有个好消息：这并不是你的问题。)”以及最后一段“If all this is starting to make you think that calorie monitoring might be off the menu, you’d be right. (如果这一切让你觉得卡路里监测可能行不通，你是对的。)”可知，本文说的是通过卡路里赤字减肥法却不见效的挫败感，原因是人类回忆饮食不准确，并通过研究证明卡路里吸收受生物学因素影响，末段劝读者别再纠结于卡路里的数字计算，C项“Skip the Dietary Math (跳过饮食数学计算)”最契合主旨。 D For years, smartphones and computers have threatened to make handwriting outdated. As a reporter who now works primarily on a keyboard, I’m worried that even my carefully developed handwriting — once modeled after my engineer mother’s perfect block letters — is fading (退化). This concern reflects a broader societal shift: emails replaced letters, smartphones replaced paper notes and calendars, and US schools have increasingly prioritized typing over writing. More recently, AI has further reduced the need for humans to write anything down, making handwriting seem truly set to disappear. Yet this decline may carry drawbacks that are often ignored. Research by Karen Ray at the University of Newcastle suggests that children who grow up holding devices rather than pencils often show lower overall motor proficiency (动作熟练度) than previous standards, potentially leaving them less prepared to learn handwriting when they enter kindergarten. Actually, handwriting really matters because most experts agree that it offers significant cognitive (认知的) benefits. According to psychologist Robert Wiley, writing by hand helps students learn to read and improves memory more effectively than typing. Beyond the classroom, STEM professionals still need basic handwriting skills for problem-solving and lab notes. Beyond these concerns, overreliance on keyboards can also lead to “character amnesia (提笔忘字)” — a phenomenon where people gradually forget how to physically form letters they rarely write. Surprisingly, this very dependence on digital tools may now cause a handwriting comeback. To fight cheating with ChatGPT, university professors are reportedly bringing back handwritten exams, driving up sales of traditional “blue books.” However, this return raises serious fairness concerns. As author Anne Trubek notes, judging students by their handwriting risks punishing those with poor handwriting regardless of their actual cognitive ability or the quality of their arguments. Ultimately, as AI increasingly offloads critical thinking from humans, handwriting may evolve from an endangered skill into one of the few remaining ways to prove authentic human comprehension. Like students showing their work in math class to prove they understand what calculators do, putting pen to paper is becoming a vital demonstration of genuine understanding. 12. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1? A. By analyzing social changes. B. By comparing old and new habits. C. By sharing a personal experience. D. By predicting the end of handwriting. 13. What is mainly discussed in paragraph 2? A. Experts’ disagreement on handwriting. B. The cognitive benefits of writing by hand. C. The motor skills of device-heavy children. D. The hidden costs of handwriting’s decline. 14. Why are handwritten exams reportedly being brought back? A. To prevent AI-assisted cheating. B. To address character amnesia. C. To improve students’ handwriting. D. To promote the sales of “blue books”. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward the future of handwriting? A. Worried. B. Hopeful. C. Doubtful. D. Neutral. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述手写面临消亡危机，但它意义重大或将重新受到重视。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“As a reporter who now works primarily on a keyboard, I’m worried that even my carefully developed handwriting — once modeled after my engineer mother’s perfect block letters — is fading (退化). (作为一名现在主要用键盘工作的记者，我担心自己精心练就的笔迹——曾经是模仿我工程师母亲那工整的印刷体——也正在退化。)”可知，作者通过分享自己作为记者手写能力逐渐退化的个人经历引出话题。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Yet this decline may carry drawbacks that are often ignored. (然而，这种衰退可能带来一些常被忽视的弊端。)”以及后续提到的儿童动作熟练度不足、手写的认知益处等内容可知，本段主要讨论手写能力衰退带来的隐性代价。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“To fight cheating with ChatGPT, university professors are reportedly bringing back handwritten exams, driving up sales of traditional ‘blue books.’ (据报道，为了应对用ChatGPT作弊，大学教授们正在重新采用手写考试，这推高了传统‘蓝皮书’的销量。)”可知，高校恢复手写考试是为了防范借助AI工具的作弊行为。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Ultimately, as AI increasingly offloads critical thinking from humans, handwriting may evolve from an endangered skill into one of the few remaining ways to prove authentic human comprehension. Like students showing their work in math class to prove they understand what calculators do, putting pen to paper is becoming a vital demonstration of genuine understanding. (最终，随着人工智能越来越多地替代人类进行批判性思考，手写可能会从一种濒临消失的技能，演变为少数几种能够证明人类真正理解能力的方式之一。就像学生在数学课上展示解题过程以证明自己理解计算器所做的工作一样，动笔书写正成为证明真正理解的一种重要方式。)”可知，作者认为手写会从濒危技能转变为证明人类真实理解能力的重要方式，对其未来持充满希望的态度。 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。 If you find yourself thinking, “I am a failure,” it’s important to know that there are things you can do to feel better.

Tucker sat absent-mindedly in one of the library chairs. Most of the students wanted to hear about the writer’s work. Tucker did not. “Why bother?” Tucker thought to himself. He always received low marks on his writing assignments, no matter how hard he worked on them. He could never think of anything interesting to write about. “Does anyone have any questions?” Mrs Flippen asked her class. Tucker raised his hand, “How do you know what to write about?” “Well, sometimes I don’t,” the author replied. “It takes a lot of hard work to come up with ideas.” She reached down and pulled a worn-looking book from a cloth bag on the floor. “I find making a scrapbook (剪贴簿) helps.” Tucker sat up a little straighter in his seat. “What’s in the book?” he asked. “I fill it with pictures, stories, and notes about things that interest me.” The writer opened the scrapbook on her knee. “When I need an idea, I look through the book instead of staring at a blank page.” Tucker thought about the author’s scrapbook as he walked home. He thought about staring at a blank page each time he tried to write a story. Digging in his bookcase, Tucker found an old binder (活页夹). He filled the binder with notepaper from his desk. After supper, Tucker cut some pictures out of the newspaper. Then he drew some pictures of his own. He cut and pasted (粘贴) stories from his old magazines. Then he looked up the words he did not know and wrote down their meanings. In the days and weeks that followed, Tucker collected more ideas. He found that the more he collected, the easier it became to find things to collect. Tucker’s book of ideas grew fatter and fatter. 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。 One morning, Mrs Flippen told the class about a story writing competition. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then came the day when the headmaster announced the result. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】作答示例 One morning, Mrs Flippen told the class about a story writing competition. Tucker wanted to win and he tried to make a good story. That night, Tucker looked through his scrapbook instead of staring at a blank page. At first, nothing happened. Slowly, he began to fit pieces together like a puzzle. He picked a setting for his story from a picture. He used the name from an article for his character. Tucker’s story started to grow. He worked on it every night until it came time to hand in the story. Then came the day when the headmaster announced the result. However, the headmaster didn’t call out Tucker’s name. His story did not win. “Why did I try?” he thought to himself and sank into his chair, at a loss. “I know you are disappointed, Tucker,” Mrs Flippen said. “I want you to know I really like your story. It might not be the best in the class this time, but it is your best work so far.” Tucker smiled at Mrs Flippen and went to congratulate his classmates. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了不擅长写作的Tucker从一位来学校做演讲的作家那里获得了如何去写作的方法——剪贴簿。回到家之后，Tucker采用了这个方法，他发现收集的东西越多，就越容易找到要收集的东西，塔克的思想之书越来越厚。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①根据段首句子“一天早上，弗利彭太太向全班同学宣布了一场故事写作比赛的事。”可知，下文可描写Tucker利用剪贴簿来为比赛做准备的过程，他最终写出了故事。 ②根据段首句子“然后，校长宣布结果的那一天到来了。”可知，下文要描写Tucker并没有听到自己的名字被校长念到，但是得到弗里彭太太的安慰和鼓励以及塔克对弗里彭太太笑了笑，然后去祝贺他的同学们。 2. 续写线索：翻阅剪贴簿，认真准备——完成故事——并没有获奖——弗里彭太太的安慰和鼓励——微笑——去祝贺他的同学们 3.词类激活 行为类 ①盯着：stare at/gaze at ②使用：use/utilise ③想要做某事：want to do sth./feel like doing sth. 情绪类 ①失望的：disappointed/despondent ②不知所措：at a loss/at his wits’ end 【点睛】[高分句型1] I want you to know I really like your story.
