Finally, I took Rusty to the vet(兽医）”可知，本平静、可爱的Rusty变得极具攻击性，它四处冲撞且破坏规则,行为异常狂野，因此作者带它去看兽医，故选C. A项“它严重掉毛”;B项它失去了方向感’;D 项“它表现出暂时的不活跃”. 25.B 理解具体信息第三段尾句讲经过仔细检查后，兽医给出的结论是Rusty状态很好，一点问题都没有。再结合第四段作者的回应“he's not great. He's absolutely awful"可知，作者 认为Rusty的问题很严重。由此可知，作者认为兽医未找到自己认为的“问题”,这让作者很生气，几乎要哭了,故选B。 26.A 理解句意根据画线句上一段的 the human-to-cat bond is so powerful that a perfectly healthy cat will act out in response to his human's emotional stresses”可知，兽医提出，人与猫之间的联系非常强大，以至于一只完全健康的猫会因为主人的情绪压力而表现异常。作者连续用多个yes回应，结合第二段描述的作者因生活变化而感到世界崩塌可知,作者认同兽医的解释，感到自己被兽医理解，故选A。B项作者对兽医失去耐心”；C项‘作者赞同对Rusty 的治疗”;D项“作者知道 Rusty很快会康复”。 27.A 推断根据最后两段的内容可知看完兽医后，作者接受专业治疗缓解压力，并改变了对猫的态度，猫因此恢复了平静,作者也因此感到宽慰，故选A项“宽慰且平静的”。B项“愉悦且自豪的’；C项“积极且热诚的；D项感激且坚定的” C 语篇类型:说明文主题:人与社会——科技商 文章大意:文章主要介绍了新词TQ（科技商）,它代表人们接受和使用新科技的能力，与IQ（智商） EQ（情商）并列为预测成功潜力的指标。 28.D 理解具体信息 第二段中的“It's like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff….Having a high TQ means you're awesome at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet"说明TQ是我们理解、利用最新科技发明的能力，即利用新科技的本领。 understanding the latest tech stuff + using all the cool new things-→apply new technologies. A“学习新语言的速度”；B“维修高科技产品的技能”;C“跟随时代变化的天赋”；D“应用新科技的能力”。 错误项分析 A项，“languages与TQ无关；B项，“fixing与文中的“understanding”和“using”不是同一概念;C项范围过大,未点出新科技核心。 29.B 推断 第三段举例说明了三类高 TQ人群——用视频网课的家长、优化搜索引擎的经理、借助人工智能分析CT扫描结果的医生。 B项与文中例子相符。 A“经常使用现代搜索引擎的经理”;B“借助人工智能分析CT扫描结果的医生”；C“觉得新科技设备难以操作的祖父(母)”;D“观看孩子学校生活视频的妈妈”。 错误项分析 A项，经理虽用搜索引擎，但文中的“boosting”指高级优化,并非普通使用: C项描述的老人与高TQ人物形象相反;D项未提及利用最新科技。 30.A 理解作者态度 综观全文，尤其是最后一段中的“As TQ rises, it will combine with IQ and EQ, reshaping how we live, work, and learn--turning adaptability with tech into measurable edge”(随着TQ变得重要，它将与IQ和EQ结合，重塑我们的生活、工作和学习方式—一把对科技的适应能力转化为可衡量的优势）可知，作者对TQ的评价是积极的,故应选A项。 31.C 理解文章主旨要义:全文主要介绍了TQ是新时代的第三个评价标准,将和IQ. EQ一样能够预测个人成功的潜力,以及TQ为何如此重要。因此C项“是什么让TQ成为新的智商？”最符合文章主旨。A “为什么IQ和EQ对TQ重要？”:B “TQ在现代是如何变化的？”；C “是什么让TQ成为新的智商？”；D“该从哪里开始适应 TQ的变化？” 错误项分析 A项,文章并未重点探讨三种智商的关系;B项只谈变化，未点出TQ的重要性；D项“从哪里开始适应”无依据，文章未给起步指南。 D 语篇类型:说明文 主题:人与自然---天上的星星不见了 文章大意:本文主要讲述了光污染正在夺走我们的夜空，使得星星在我们眼前消失。 32.B 理解词汇 根据第一段中的“In the endless sky, the unaided human eye should be able to perceive several thousand stars on a clear, dark night'（在一望无际的天空中,在一个晴朗、黑暗的夜晚，人类的肉眼应该能够看到几千颗星星）以及画线词上文“Unfortunately"可知，画线词所在句与前句应为转折关系,应指人类的肉眼本来可以看到几千颗星星，不幸的是，日益严重的光污染却使人们不能欣赏夜景。故画线词意思是“使.....不能”。故选B。 33.D 理解具体信息 读题 题目问“可见星星的消失会导致什么？”。A项较差的人类健康”;B项更少的野生生物物种”;C项更为脆弱的生物系统；D 项“更少的夜空文化元素”。解题 根据第三段中的“the loss of visible stars is a great loss of human cultural heritage（可见星星的消失是人类文化遗产的巨大损失)可知,可见星星的消失会导致较少的夜间天空文化元素。故选D。 34.A 理解段落主旨要义 读题 题目问的是“在第五段中作者强调什么?”。A项“众包数据是无价的’;B项“较短的波长很难被检测到”;C项卫星发挥着至关重要的作用”；D项白色LED被广泛使用” 解题 根据第四段中的“Globe at Night has been gathering data... the Globe at Night web application”可 Globe at Night一直在鼓励能够提供观察数据的人们提供星星夜间可见度的数据。根据第五段中的“Existing satellites are not well suited to……Space-based instruments do not measure light from windows'可知，第五段提到了现有高级设备难以测量到一些数据，由此可见，普通人提供数据就显得很重要了，因此，作者在第五段中强调了众包数据是 无价的。故选A。 35.D 推断细节信息 根据最后一段中Walker所说的话“The Globe at Night dataset…… whoever can to get involved to help protect the starry night sky”（Globe at Night数据集 对于我们持续评估天空辉光的变化是必要的，我们鼓励任何可以参与的人来帮助保护星空)可推断，Walker期望会有更多的参与者加人。“join in"与“get involved"同义转换。故选D。 A项“他们的持续努力得到了回报”；B项“数据集需要更新；C项“天空的光污染问题被 过分强调了”;D项‘‘期待有更多参与者加入”。 36-40 GEBFD 主题语境：人与自我——生活与学习 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是“生产力陷阱”的含义、三种表现（多任务切换、缺乏动力或创造力、从不感觉完成）及应对方法，指出真正的生产力在于平衡专注、精力和意图。 第36题.G 根据上下文理解概念或定义。解析：空前说“You could be stuck in a productivity trap.”，空后又说“Here are three signs...”，由此可知空格处应解释“productivity trap”的含义。G项“It is the feeling of being endlessly busy, while real priorities remain untouched.”用“It”指代“productivity trap”，说明它是“无休止地忙碌而真正重要的事却未被触及”的感觉，与下文三种表现相呼应。故选G。 第37题.E 代词指代与上下文衔接。解析：空前提到多任务会分散注意力、降低效率；空后说“These are the tasks you will commit to focusing on first.”，其中“These”需要指代具体的任务。E项“Take a moment to set a simple three-item priority list.”建议列出三项优先任务清单，正好与后文“These are the tasks”衔接，也能解决多任务切换的问题。故选E。 第38题.B 段落主旨概括。解析：该空为小标题。本段指出当人们持续输出时，大脑没有空间产生新想法，没有灵感时间，动力和创造力会枯竭，因此要安排让自己恢复精力的活动。B项“You’re lacking motivation or creativity.”能概括该段核心问题，并与文中的“motivation and creativity can quickly dry up”直接对应。故选B。 第39题.F 语义递进与同义复现。解析：空前说“You never feel ‘done’”，并说待办清单增长快于完成速度；空后又说“this ‘never-finished’ feeling”可能导致倦怠。F项“And even when you do get things done, it doesn’t feel like enough.”进一步说明即使完成了也仍觉得不够，与“never feel done”和“never-finished feeling”形成同义复现和语义递进。故选F。 第40题.D 对比逻辑与总结句。解析：空前说“Real productivity isn’t a race to get more and more tasks done.”，空格处需要从正面说明真正的生产力是什么。D项“It’s about balancing focus, energy, and intention.”中的“It”指代“Real productivity”，与上文的“isn’t...”形成对比，引出正面定义，并与文章结尾“working with your brain”相呼应。故选D 完型填空 语篇类型:记叙文主题:人与自我——优秀品行——微小善行 行文脉络:Bill Price 因一次在孤单时被邀请加入群体的善意举动而感悟到微小善行的重要性。 考点分布:动词（短语）8个，名词5个，形容词1个,副词1个。 41.A 下文信息推断。根据最后一段的Price因 Westman的善举意识到自己也能给予同样的温暖以及“it couldmean the world”可知,此处指善举能改变人生进程。 course“进程,进展”；reality“现实”; aim“目标”；value“价值”。 42.C上下文信息推断。结合上文的“change”和下文Price的经历可知,这是一次带来巨大改变的经历。 cooperative“合作的”;productive“多产的’; transformative“有改革能 力的,起改造作用的”;appreciative“感激的”。 43.

I'm delighted to know you intend to apply AI to help mark our English compositions. From my perspective, Al is a great helper.

I’d appreciate it if you can take my advice into cosideration. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 写作二 写作思路: Step1故事梗概 情节线 开端:“我”计划暑期在空手道营当助教，同时参加游泳队及经营遛狗生意→发展:妈妈提醒“我”可能力不从心,“我”不以为然,前两周因任务未完全重叠尚算顺利→高 潮：Ollie回来后遛狗任务叠加，“我”勉强承接多任务→结局：？ 情感线 自信得意勉→强支撑→？ Step2 续写思路 (1) Para. 1: However, it didn't take long for everything to turn into a mess. 然而,没过多久，所有事情变得一团糟。 →Q1:“我”在兼顾三项任务时，会出现哪些具体的混乱场景？Q2:这些混乱会引发什么后果？Q3:“我”此时的心理状态如何？ →续写第一段需聚焦“混乱”的具体体现，通过生活化的细节(如衣物混乱、物品遗漏、任务出错）增强真实感，同时融入“我”的心理变化，以妈妈的提醒呼应上文，为下文转变作铺垫。 (2) Para. 2:I hated admitting I was wrong, but I knew I needed to change.我不愿承认自己错了，但我知道我需要做出改变。Q1: “我”打算怎么改变？Q2:“我”是如何行动的？ Q3:“我” 最终的状态如何？从中领悟到什么道理？ →续写第二段需围绕‘改变”展开，通过“主动求助”的行为体现成长，借助具体的解决措施（分工、做计划）推动情节好转，结尾升华主题，点明“专注做好事比贪多更重要”的感悟 。 However, it didn´t take long for everything to turn into a mess.On Saturday morning, I rushed from Alfie's walk to Karate Camp---dog hair stuck to my karate uniform(空手道服)， and treats crumpled（压皱） in my pocket. I forgot to bring the kids' practice belts, so we used ribbons instead. Then I sprinted (飞奔) to swim practice, only to realize my swim cap was still in Alfie's yard . Coach made me sit out the first lap, and as I watched the team glide by, I felt the weight of "everything’’ crashing down--Mom's warning about biting off too much echoed in my head. I hated admitting I was urong, but I new I needled to change. That evening, I told Ollie and Mom I couldn't keep up（跟上）. Ollie offered to take Muffin's Tuesday walks, and Mom helped me mark a ‘’no-swim’’ day on the calendar for karate prep. By the end of the week, I handed out karate belts on time, walked Alfie without rushing, and swam with a dry cap. The chaos faded, and I finally understood that it's not about doing everything--it's about doing what you can well. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 漯河市高级中学2026—2027学年上学期高二年级第一次月考 英语试卷 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段录音。从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

B Anyone who has ever been around a cat for any length of time well knows cats have great patience. Yikes! My cat changed a lot recently. In just a week or so, my calm, adorable, long-haired Rusty turned into the attack cat of the century! It was not what I needed at all! Wasn’t the rest of my life in enough chaos? Changes at work. Changes in relationships. I already felt as if my entire world was falling apart. Nothing calmed my cat down either. He ran and dove in every direction. He broke every single rule we had ever had to keep peace in the home we shared. He’d turned into a cat I’d never met before! Finally, I took Rusty to the vet (兽医). After a careful examination, the vet shook his head, “Not a thing is wrong with him, Miss. He’s doing great.” “NO,” I argued with anger, “he’s not great. He’s absolutely awful.” I almost burst into tears. Then the vet asked the most insightful question that anyone had ever asked me — at least, anytime recently. “So,” said my cat’s kind-hearted vet, “how has your life been going lately?” Shock shot through me. “Me?” I stared at him, essentially speechless, ready to throw myself into his cat-cradling arms. I managed a relatively coherent response. “Not so good,” I admitted. The kindly cat doctor nodded and replied, “Just what I suspected. Often, the human-to-cat bond is so powerful that a perfectly healthy cat will act out in response to his human’s emotional stresses”. I nodded along, thinking, “Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!” “Do your best,” our doctor told us both, “to be calm, patient and kind. Once you’re doing better, then Rusty will do better, too.” That day turned our life around. I got some good professional treatment for my super stressors. Rusty got a kinder, gentler me with more ear touches and back petting. 24. Why did the author take Rusty to the vet? A. He suffered heavy hair loss. B. He lost his sense of direction. C. He became unusually wild. D. He showed temporary inactivity. 25. The author nearly cried because she thought A. the vet announced good news B. the vet didn’t find the problem C. the vet didn’t express sympathy D. the vet drew an awful conclusion 26. What does the underlined sentence imply? A. The author felt understood by the vet. B. The author was impatient with the vet. C. The author favored the treatment for Rusty. D. The author knew Rusty was to recover soon. 27. How did the author feel after visiting the vet? A. Relieved and calm. B. Amused and proud. C. Motivated and passionate. D. Grateful and determined C A new era requires a new vocabulary. Will we still talk about the “mobile” phone when all phones are mobile, or when they are implanted (植入) in us? Technology is everywhere nowadays, especially at work. Some people are really good at using all the cool new tools that keep popping up. They have something called TQ, or technology quotient. It’s like superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really impossible. Having a high TQ means you’re awesome at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet. The examples are common and becoming more and more frequent. For the parent it might be a home- schooling video class. For the brand manager it might be search engine boosting. And for the clinician, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan. TQ attempts to quantify our ability to make sensible use of current technologies and to quickly adapt to, embrace and capitalize on future creations. This adoption is critical from a variety of perspectives, from social to business. One trip into the world of ChatGPT and we can see how the dynamics of AI and search are changing for just about everyone. Any Mom or Dad can understand the value of IQ and EQ in projecting the potential for a child’s success. But what about technology? The ability for the child and the teacher to understand, embrace and adopt technology will be a defining aspect of their lives as we speed into the future. We are increasingly defined by technology and our active participation in everything from smart phones to social media. It might just be time for the basic human needs of food, water and shelter to incorporate (吸收) technology too. And when that happens, it just might be a good idea to measure it. While this shift brings challenges, it’s unstoppable. As TQ rises, it will combine with IQ and EQ, reshaping how we live, work, and learn — turning adaptability with tech into a measurable edge. 28. What is TQ according to the passage? A. Speed of learning new languages. B. Skill of fixing high-tech products. C. Talent for following modern changes. D. Ability to apply new technologies. 29. Which of the following people has a high TQ? A. A manager who often uses modern search engines. B. A doctor who analyzes CT scans with AI assistance. C. A grandparent who finds new tech devices awkward. D. A mom who watches videos of her child’s school life. 30. What’s the writer’s attitude towards TQ? A. Positive B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Contradictory. 31. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Why Are IQ and EQ Important for TQ? B. How Has TQ Changed in the Modern Era? C. What Makes TQ the New Intelligence? D. Where to Start Adapting to TQ Changes? D In the endless sky, the unaided human eye should be able to perceive several thousand stars on a clear, dark night. Unfortunately, growing light pollution has impeded people from the nightly view. New citizen-science-based research throws alarming light on the problem of “skyglow”, the diffuse illumination (漫射照明) of the night sky that is a form of light pollution. The data came from crowdsourced observations collected from around the world as part of Globe at Night, a program developed by astronomer Connie Walker. Light pollution has harmful effects, not only on the practice of astronomy but also on human health and wildlife, since it disturbs the cycle from sunlight to starlight that biological systems have evolved alongside. Furthermore, the loss of visible stars is a great loss of human cultural heritages. Until relatively recently, humans throughout history had an impressive view of the starry night sky, and the effect of this nightly spectacle (壮观景象) is evident in ancient cultures. Globe at Night has been gathering data on star visibility since 2006. Anyone can submit observations through the Globe at Night web application. Participants record which one best matches what they can see in the sky without any telescopes or other instruments. Researchers find that the loss of visible stars indicates an increase in sky brightness of 9.6% per year while roughly 2% is measured by satellites. Existing satellites are not well suited to measuring skyglow as it appears to humans, because they can not detect wavelengths shorter than 500 nanometers (纳米).White LEDs, with shorter wavelengths under 500 nanometers, now are increasingly commonly used in outdoor lighting. But human eyes are more sensitive to these shorter wavelengths at nighttime. Space-based instruments do not measure light from windows, either. But these sources are significant contributors to skyglow as seen from the ground. “The increase in skyglow over the past decade has underlined the importance of redoubling our efforts and developing new strategies to protect dark skies,” said Walker. “The Globe at Night dataset is necessary for our ongoing evaluation of changes in skyglow, and we encourage whoever can to get involved to help protect the starry night sky.” 32. What does the underlined word “impeded” in the first paragraph mean? A. Separated. B. Disabled. C. Demanded. D. Protected. 33. What does the loss of visible stars lead to? A. Poorer human health. B. Fewer wildlife species. C. More delicate biological systems. D. Fewer nightly cultural elements of the sky. 34. What does the author stress in paragraph 5? A. Crowdsourced data are invaluable. B .Shorter wavelengths are hard to detect. C. Satellites play a vital role. D. White LEDs are widely used. 35. What can be inferred from Walker’s words? A. Their consistent efforts pay off. B. The dataset needs to be updated. C. The skyglow has been overemphasized. D. More participants are expected to join in. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Do you ever feel like you’re always busy, yet you aren’t sure that you’re actually getting things done? Or have you reached full capacity, but still feel like you should be doing more? You could be stuck in a productivity trap. 36 Here are three signs you’re stuck in a productivity trap and how to address them. ● You’re switching between tasks. Multitasking may feel productive, but it splits your attention and slows you down. 37 These are the tasks you will commit to focusing on first. This small reset restores direction and keeps you from jumping between tasks. ● 38 When your days are filled with constant output, your brain doesn’t have the space it needs to generate new ideas. Without time for inspiration, motivation and creativity can quickly dry up. So schedule intentional time for activities that leave you feeling energised. This could mean reading, going for a walk, or spending time on hobbies you love. ●You never feel “done”. Your to-do list feels like it’s growing faster than you can tick things off. 39 Over time, this “never-finished” feeling risks leading you closer to burnout. Instead of focusing on what’s left to do, keep a “done” list to track your progress. It can give you something to look back on when you are feeling overloaded. Real productivity isn’t a race to get more and more tasks done. 40 When you manage to break free from the productivity trap and start working with your brain instead of against it, you can create the space to achieve more of what truly matters. A. You’d better schedule time to rest. B. You’re lacking motivation or creativity. C. The more I do, the longer my to-do list grows. D. It’s about balancing focus, energy, and intention. E. Take a moment to set a simple three-item priority list. F. And even when you do get things done, it doesn’t feel like enough. G. It is the feeling of being endlessly busy, while real priorities remain untouched. 第三部分 语言知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In our day-to-day lives, there are moments when we get to decide whether to offer a helping hand.

Around 5000 exoplanets 58 (find) since 1995, but no Earth- sized planets in the habitable zones of Sun-like stars have been spotted. Earth 2.0, or ET, 59 (propose) by the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), intends to use six telescopes to observe about 2 million stars in the Kepler mission star field and other larger nearby regions, continuously 60 (monitor) for transits of so-called exo-Earths over four years. The mission is now targeting launch in 2028. The spacecraft will be launched to Sun-Earth Lagrange point 2, 61 will provide a stable orbit, a constant view of deep space, and reduced interference (干扰) from Earth. While Earth-like planets have been detected, these have been found in 62 (relative) short orbits around quite bright stars or low-mass red dwarfs (红矮星), giving off strong radiation. ET will be able to stare at 63 (it) target areas of sky for long periods. This extended observation time will allow it to detect planets with much 64 (long) orbital periods in the habitable zones around Sun-like stars, and thus potentially pick up 65 (signal)of exo-Earths. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 假定你是李华，外教Ryan打算使用AI技术辅助英语作文批改，并向同学们征询意见。请你给外教写一封邮件，内容包括： （1）你的看法；（2）你的建议。 注意：（1）写作词数应为80左右； （2）开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Ryan, I hope this email finds you well. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 I know how it feels to be so busy that things turn totally messy. One day, I was talking to my mom about summer activities. “I want to do everything,” I said. I want to be a junior counselor for the Little Dragons Karate (空手道) Camp. I have to be on the summer swim team. And my friend Ollie and I already have two customers for our dog-walking business. “Everything is too much,” my mom frowned. “You might be biting off more than you can chew.” “Don’t worry,” I grinned. “I have strong teeth!” My mom smiled back, “In this case, it’s your organizational skills, not your teeth that need to be strong.” “No problem!” I claimed. The first week was smooth sailing. Ollie was out of town, and Karate Camp hadn’t started, so I only focused on swimming — no stress, no chaos. The next week went well too. I hit my fastest freestyle time ever, and a kid at Karate Camp even called me his favorite teacher. Cycling between the camp and the pool with two bulging (鼓起的) bags was a hassle, but I still kept things under control — until Ollie came back. “We’re way behind on the dog-walking business!” he said. “We need every free minute to get organized.” “But I don’t have free minutes!” I groaned. He reminded me we’d promised to walk Alfie every Saturday and Muffin at 4 p.m. on Tuesdays. I didn’t want to let him down, so I grabbed a third backpack, filled it with dog toys, treats and plastic bags, and forced a grin. “There! I’m all prepared.” 注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式作答。 However, it didn’t take long before everything turned into a mess. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I hated admitting I was wrong, but I knew I needed to change. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
