Should our desks be kept neat and tidy,or is it fine to leave them messy and piled high with books and papers?My view is clear:a tidy desk is definitely a necessity,especially when deadlines pile up. Some may argue that a messy desk makes for a creative mind and that tidiness is simply a matter of personal preference.However,I believe a well-organized desk helps us concentrate.With less visual clutter around us,we can focus more easily and work more efficiently.Moreover,tidiness saves time,as we no longer need to hunt through piles of papers for a notebook or a worksheet.In a shared classroom,it also shows respect for classmates by keeping our materials from spilling onto their desks. In brief,a tidy desk boosts focus and efficiency.So let's start with small changes and keep our desks neat廿 参考答案及评分参考第3页 第二节（满分25.0分） 一、评分标准 1.本题总分为25分，按七个档次进行评分。 2.评分时，主要从续写内容、语言表达、篇章结构三个方面考虑，具体为： (1)创造内容的质量，续写的完整性及与原文情景的融洽度。 (2)所使用词汇和语法结构的准确性、恰当性和多样性。 (3)上下文的衔接和全文的连贯性。 3.评分时，应先根据作答的具体情况确定其所属的档次，然后以该档次的要求来综合衡量， 确定或调整档次，最后给分。 4.评分时还应注意： (1)词数少于120的，酌情扣分： (2)书写较差以致影响交际的，酌情扣分： (3)单词拼写和标点符号是写作规范的重要方面，评分时应视其对交际的影响程度予以考 虑，英、美拼写及词汇用法均可接受。 二、各档次的给分范围和要求 档次 描述 创造了新颖、丰富、合理的内容，富有逻辑性，续写完整，与原文情境 融洽度高： 第七档 使用了多样且恰当的词汇和语法结构，表达流畅，语言错误很少，且完 (22~25分) 全不影响理解： -自然有效地使用了段落间、语句间衔接手段，全文结构清晰，前后呼应， 意义连贯。 创造了比较丰富、合理的内容，比较有逻辑性，续写比较完整，与原文 情境融洽度较高： 第六档 使用了比较多样且恰当的词汇和语法结构，表达比较流畅，有个别错误， (18~21分) 但不影响理解； -比较有效地使用了语句间衔接手段，全文结构清晰，意义比较连贯。 -创造了基本合理的内容，有一定的逻辑性，续写基本完整，与原文情境 相关： 第五档 -使用了比较恰当的词汇和语法结构，表达方式不够多样性，表达有些许 (15~17分) 错误，但基本不影响理解； 使用了语句间衔接手段，全文结构比较清晰，意义比较连贯。 参考答案及评分参考第4页 -创造了基本完整的故事内容，但有的情节不够合理或逻辑性不强，与原 文情境基本相关： 第四档 使用了简单的词汇和语法结构，有部分语言错误和不恰当之处，个别部 (11~14分) 分影响理解； -有语句衔接的意识，全文结构基本清晰，意义基本连贯。 -内容和逻辑上有一些重大问题，续写不够完整，与原文有一定程度脱节； 第三档 -所用的词汇有限，语法结构单调，错误较多且比较低级，影响理解； (6~10分) 未能有效地使用语句间衔接手段，全文结构不够清晰，意义欠连贯。 -内容和逻辑上有较多重大问题，或有部分内容抄自原文，续写不完整， 第二档 与原文情境基本脱节： (15分) -所使用的词汇非常有限，语法结构单调，错误极多，严重影响理解。 几乎没有使用语句间衔接手段，全文结构不清晰，意义不连贯。 第一档 未作答：所写内容太少或无法看清以致无法评判：所写内容全部抄自原 (0分) 文或与题目要求完全不相关。 三、示范样文 One Possible Version (202 words) Paragraph 1:As usual,I went into the shop afer school.Mr.Watson was sorting shelves when I handed him my story,full of hope and pride.He paused his work and began reading with his usual keen interest.I pretended to browse the shelves,though my heart was racing.Soon I noticed his brows knitted and his expression grew serious.When he finished,he called me over,silently handed the pages back."I'm sorry Michael,but I can't exchange your story when you pass off someone else's work as your own,"he said.My head drooped.How I wish I could disappear among the rows of books!

Text10(Q17-2014:33~15:50) Hello,everyone.For our school science project,my group chose Urban rewilding,a movement bringing nature back into busy city centers.In London's West End,an initiative called Wild West End has built green walkways between parks like Hyde Park and Regent's Park.Each walkway,or green stepping stone,covers at least 100 square meters every 100 meters,with green roofs and street trees.As a result,black redstarts,one of Britain's rarest birds, now nest in the city center together with four bat species.In Chicago,a project using 108 rain gardens now sends 40,000 cubic meters of rainwater into the river each year instead of the old pipes,and the gardens bring bees and butterflies into the city.In Singapore,the Park Royal Hotel covers more than twice its site with gardens and water, and its green spaces have attracted squirrels and even fireflies.While its room rates have since doubled.And so our research shows cities can share space with wildlife.Thank you! ·播报结束17：30· 听力材料·第2页这是2026学年第一学期杭州市高三年级教学质量检测英语科听力测试第一节。听下面五段录音，每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段录音播放两遍。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。Oh, my goodness, James, this meal is absolutely incredible. really.

Cho then went back to New York to find a job in publishing. Later she moved to London to work for Madeleine Milburn Literary Agency. She started Paper Literary in May 2021. “Going to law school taught me to bargain, to understand a contract,” Cho says. “I learned about persuasion and influence. I love the feeling of advocating for someone, and honestly that moment of discovering a novel from an email submission, and the thrill of being able to tell someone their book will be published — it is such a high,” she says. In 2020 Cho published a memoir, A Memoir of Motherhood and Madness. The book was a New York Times Editors’ Choice and Cho was shortlisted for The Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year. “I think having been an author has made me kinder as an agent,” Cho says. “It was only once I was on the other side of the submission process that I understood just how vulnerable it is to share your work.” You can find Cho online at PaperLiterary.com and on X @Catkcho.

B A few years ago, I assigned a reading to my class about the experience of a young woman standing in line to register for her university classes in the 1980s. In the personal essay, the writer reflected on how she second-guessed her choices while waiting, and how other students in the line offered both positive and negative opinions on her course selection. As discussion of the reading unfolded, a student asked, “Why didn’t she just register on-line?” This question was met with a few snickers, but also with knitted brows and nods. Why, indeed? Feeling like a relic from the Natural History Museum, I reminded the students that the article was written in the early 1980s. “There was no ‘on-line’,” I explained. “There was just a human line. Before the internet, we waited in line for hours during freshers’ week — for registration, student cards, financial aid, health insurance… for everything. Sometimes there were barbeques, bands playing, T-shirt giveaways. It was fun!” The class looked at me with pity. And I understood. Online services, like shopping and registrations, have reduced our in-person wait time significantly. Those willing and able to pay can upgrade their tickets to skip the long lines at amusement park attractions. Self-checkout and drive-up delivery offer time-saving alternatives to waiting in line at the supermarket. Still, I sometimes choose to wait. The supermarket checkout offers several off-line pleasures. I scan the magazine display, survey other peoples’ purchases as they move along the conveyor belt, and marvel at new chewing gum flavours. Grapefruit-melon — who knew? Most people are absorbed with their phones, but the old and very young are happy to make eye contact and exchange a few words. I talk to elderly shoppers and make faces at toddlers. The other day, a happy two-year-old chatted me up. “BAH!” she said, and held out a sticky candy bar from a tiny red box. 24. What did the class think of the woman’s waiting in line for registration? A. They considered it fun. B. They saw it as pointless. C. They regarded it as controversial. D. They found it eye-opening. 25. How did the author respond to the students’ question? A. He expressed a deep sense of self-pity. B. He briefed them on the historical context. C. He scolded the students for their ignorance. D. He admitted online registration was far superior. 26. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Why modern conveniences are criticized. B. Why technology changes almost everything. C. How the tradition of queuing has been reshaped. D. How the students viewed the teacher’s experience. 27. What is the best title of the passage? A. The Lost Art of Waiting B. The Magic of Online Service C. Technology: A Time-saving Solution D. Standing in Line: A Real Struggle C AI is learning our beauty standards. Looking for a fitness model for a social media post? AI can generate an endless stream of attractive faces without the involvement of a single real person. Many people assume it creates something entirely new. In reality, AI does not invent a new standard of attractiveness. It simply recycles — and in some cases intensifies — the one that already dominates popular media. Research has long shown that exposure to idealized bodies contributes to body dissatisfaction. Social comparison is almost automatic and those comparisons can affect self-esteem, eating habits, exercise behaviors, and overall psychological well-being. What makes AI different is its scale. Anyone can now generate thousands of seemingly realistic images in minutes. That creates a false impression that these bodies are common or typical — but they aren’t. Instead, they represent statistical averages drawn from internet content that already overrepresents conventionally attractive, highly fit individuals. The result is a feedback loop. Existing media influences AI, AI produces more idealized images, and those images become part of the media that future AI systems learn from. The cycle reinforces itself. This is especially relevant for athletes. Sports emphasize performance, discipline, and physical capability. Yet appearance now shapes public identity. AI-generated athletic bodies often appear posed for admiration rather than engaged in sport. When looks become the primary measure, athletes risk body dissatisfaction, unhealthy weight control practices, or disordered eating. The psychology behind it is even more troubling. For a broader sense, perhaps the most concerning is what is missing from the AI-generated images: few bodies reflect diversity in fat, muscle, age, disability, or shape, with women especially restricted to a narrow range. Such bodies become psychologically invisible, making most people feel excluded. Ironically, AI has enormous potential to promote inclusion, but current systems reproduce training data stereotypes. AI is often described as a mirror of society. The danger is that mirrors do not always merely reflect reality. They can also distort it. 28. What phenomenon does the author describe in paragraph 1? A. AI ignores body image issues. B. AI creates new beauty standards. C. AI reproduces existing beauty standards. D. AI plays a dominant role in popular media. 29. What is the correct understanding of “a feedback loop” in paragraph 2? A. Media and AI boost each other. B. AI reduces social comparison pressure. C. Internet users reject AI-generated images. D. The standards of idealized bodies keep changing. 30. What worries the author most about AI-generated images? A. They draw too much attention to athletes. B. They fail to shape certain public perceptions. C. They lack diversity and exclude many people. D. They feature women with athletic body shapes. 31. What does the author want to say in the last paragraph? A. Stay true to yourself. B. The mirror never lies. C. Beauty is only skin deep. D. Seeing is not always believing. D Nighttime light is a well-known threat to migrating birds and sea turtles. New research suggests it may also pose risks for human health — The itchy-eyed misery of allergy (过敏症) season may be getting a boost from the glow of city streetlights. Plants time their flowering and pollen (花粉) release by both temperature and light, and the artificial glare that bathes urban areas at night appears to upset their internal clocks. In a study published in PNAS Nexus, researchers analyzed pollen counts and satellite data across the eastern United States from 2012 to 2023, using NASA’s Black Marble nighttime images. They found that the more light pollution a place endured, the higher its pollen levels and the longer its allergy season. In low or no light areas, pollen counts were significant for 170 to 210 days a year. In brightly lit locations, days with significant pollen counts reached 300 days annually in places like New York City. The exposure severity also increased: as much as 27% of pollen season days reached severe levels in brightly lit areas, compared to 17% where there was little or no artificial lighting. Longer and more intense pollen seasons boost allergy sufferers’ symptoms, raising the risks for people living with asthma or other ailments worsened by airborne pollen. “Seasonal allergies cost billions of dollars in health-care costs as well as making life miserable for those who are highly sensitive,” says Andrew Richardson, an ecologist at Northern Arizona University who wasn’t involved in the study. “If you’re one of those people, then this research is clearly nothing to sneeze at.” Environmental scientist Lin Meng, lead author of the study, calls the link a “blind spot” in urban planning. The trend for planners these days is to pack cities with trees and lights, but a longer pollen season is bad for a city’s bottom line. She plans to share this study with planners and urban decision-makers so they can take light pollution’s impact on pollen into consideration when building cities. 32. What does the new study mainly show? A. Light pollution elevates health risks. B. Artificial lights cause allergy directly. C. Allergy has been a great danger to health. D. Nighttime lighting harms migratory animals. 33. How does light pollution affect urban plants? A. By delaying their flowering. B. By slowing down their growth. C. By restricting their pollen production. D. By disturbing their biological rhythms. 34. Why does Andrew Richardson bring up the costs and the misery? A. To compare allergy rates across cities. B. To stress the study’s practical importance. C. To prove light pollution is the main cause. D. To challenge current urban tree-planting policies. 35. What advice would Lin Meng probably give to city planners? A. Identify all urban blind spots. B. Upgrade lighting facilities. C. Introduce more pollen-free plants. D. Weigh greenery and lighting impacts. 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。 Critical thinking refers to the ability to make objective, reasoned judgements based on interpreting and applying evidence. These days, we are constantly exposed to so much conflicting information. 36 Here’s how to sharpen them. ● Be open to a range of ideas. It’s easy to get stuck in your own bubble, particularly on social media where algorithms (算法) tend to feed us more of the same ideas. But being open to different perspectives can help us to take a step back and assess problems in a new way. 37 And listen with curiosity to people who see the world differently from you. ● Try to be less reactionary. Training yourself to be less reactionary can enable you to create space to consider a topic more fully. Say you’re having a debate with someone about a topic you’re passionate about, and they bring up a new idea that you wouldn’t usually agree with. 38 Curious questioning and taking a moment to turn over the idea in your mind could allow you to make a more informed judgement. ● 39 Sometimes, we might only see part of the problem that we’re facing. If you suspect this may be the case, try to fill in the gaps. Do your own research, consider what other perspectives may be out there, and look for information that may have been overlooked. ● Learn how to spot a bias. A bias is the act of giving disproportionate weight for or against something. A bias isn’t always negative. For example, someone who personally had a great experience with a service may give it more praise than the average person. But it’s important to be aware of biases. 40 Consider the language used, look into sources and validate information. A. Look for the full picture. B. Don’t reject it immediately. C. Try reading diverse news sources. D. They’re driven by politics, values or agendas. E. After all, they can quietly influence your opinions. F. In such a context, the skills involved can go a long way. G. We’re also likely to be surrounded by like-minded people. 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。 When I found Granddad’s old leather-bound album in the attic (阁楼), I was amazed: its pages packed with magnificent stamps arranged with 41 — Historical Figures, Art, Landscapes, Science and more — I had never realised stamps 42 such a broad range.

As the year progressed, the Friday 52 involved the whole school. Now at year’s end, as I turned the pages of the album, I saw very few blanks 53 .

Conveniently located on the high street, next to a café, it was on my way home from school. So, most afternoons, Mum would go for a coffee and leave me to browse the books in the shop under the watchful eye of Mr Watson. Mr Watson’s bookshop was one of those Aladdin’s cave sort of places. Treasures piled high. I have so many fond memories of my after-school hours, tucked up on the bench by the window with a book. The most exciting thing about Mr Watson’s bookshop was his story exchange policy. He had an agreement that if you brought him a story that you had written and he liked it, he would exchange it for a book of your choice from the shop. He would display these stories on their own special shelf on the wall by the counter and anyone could ask to read them. From the time I was eight to when I was ten, I watched this collection grow steadily. I was proud to say that I was responsible for a good portion of these works. I enjoyed writing stories about anything and everything, and often I would illustrate them too. Mr Watson would give specific feedback. I probably learned more about writing from him than from any teacher I had before or since. Mr Watson made me want to push myself more in my stories, especially adventure stories. This blissful period of my childhood came to an end when I decided to really try and impress Mr Watson. I had recently read an adventure novel and there was a passage in it that I liked so much that I lifted the whole thing and put it in my next story. There was no way Mr Watson would ever spot this, or so I thought. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 As usual, I went into the shop after school. That night I tore the pages into pieces and started over again. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
