广州市真光中学2026学年第一学期期中测试高二英语试题 2026.10 本试卷共9页，满分130分。考试用时120分钟。 第一部分阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Uber Boats: River Bus Services of Thames Exploring London by boat along the River Thames is a fantastic experience. While you can take tourist cruises (游轮), a more local and integrated option is the River Bus service, which is operated by Thames Clippers and branded as Uber Boats. As part of London’s public transport network, these boats offer a practical way to travel between points along the river, much like a bus or the subway. By going on a river bus, you’ll see London from a unique angle as it passes through the centre of the city. You will get to see most of the famous buildings and landmarks of London. The only downside is that there is no tour guide and no outdoor seating. To board a River Bus, you can either book your ticket online in advance or purchase (购买) one at the ticket office. If the ticket office is closed, you can buy a ticket on board. You can also use your oyster card to pay for the tickets. ◆Using the oyster card When you use an oyster card, you will automatically get a discount on the price of a single journey ticket bought at the ticket office. All you need to do is tap your oyster card on the yellow card reader when boarding and stepping off the boat. ◆Price for kids Children aged 5 — 15 receive a 50% discount on the price of a ticket and children under 5 travel for free. ◆Price comparison River Bus Adult (single) River Bus Adult (return) Child 5—15 Ticket Office £10. 00 £17. 00 £5. 00 With the Oyster Card £7. 00 £12. 60 £3. 50 1. What can River Bus Service provide for tourists? A. A faster travel option on the Thames. B. A way to see landmarks with guides. C. A chance to experience the local life. D. A practical vehicle with a special view. 2. What can we learn about buying tickets? A. The convenience of purchasing methods. B. The higher price of buying a ticket on board. C.

C. £25.00. D. £41.00. B In medical school and throughout his career as a neonatologist, William Cashore was often asked to read and correct others’ work. Little did they know that he was a spelling champion, with a trophy (奖品) at home to prove it. Cashore won the Scripps National Spelling Bee in 1954 at age 14. Now 84, he’s the oldest living champion of the contest, which dates back to 1925. As contestants from this year’s competition headed home, he reflected on his experience and the effect it had on him. Cashore credits his parents for helping him prepare for his trip to Washington, D.C., for the spelling bee. His mother was an elementary school teacher and his father was a lab technician with a talent for taking words apart and putting them back together. When the field narrowed to two competitors, the other boy misspelled “uncinate”, which means bent like a hook. Cashore spelled it correctly, then clinched the title with the word “transept”, an architectural term for the transverse part of a cross-shaped church. Cashore, who was given $500 and an encyclopedia set, enjoyed a brief turn as a celebrity. He didn’t brag about his accomplishment after returning to Pennsylvania, but the experience quietly shaped him in multiple ways. “It gave me much more self-confidence and also gave me a sense that it’s very important to try to get things as correct as possible, he said. “I’ve always been that way, and I still feel that way. If people are careless about spelling and writing, you wonder if they’re careless about their thinking.” “Preparing for a spelling bee today requires more concentration and technique than it did decades ago,” Cashore said. “The vocabulary of the words are far, far more technical. The English language, in the meantime, has imported a great many words from foreign languages which were not part of the English language when I was in eighth grade,” he added. 4. What can we learn about Cashore from the first two paragraphs? A. He is the best ever spelling champion. B. He prepared alone for the spelling bee. C. He used his spelling ability to help others. D. He preferred to show off his spelling talent. 5. What does the word “clinched” underlined in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Won. B. Declined. C. Removed. D. Gave. 6. How did the spelling bee competition affect Cashore? A. It helped him start his career. B. It strengthened his confidence. C. It limited his way of thinking. D. It brought him lasting popularity. 7. What should we do to prepare for today’s spelling bee according to Cashore? A. Learn multiple languages. B. Go abroad for language study. C. Be a remarkable technician. D. Try to improve relevant skills. C AI fakery (伪造) is quickly becoming one of the biggest problems confronting us online. Deceptive pictures, videos and audio are increasing as a result of the rise and misuse of generative artificial intelligence tools. With AI deepfakes cropping up almost every day, it’s getting harder to tell what’s real from what’s not. Video and image generators like DALL-E, make it easy for people without any technical skills to create deepfakes — just type a request and the system spits it out. These fake images might seem harmless. But they can be used to carry out fraud and identity theft. Here is how to avoid being cheated by deepfakes. Face-swapping is one of the most common deepfake methods. Experts advise looking closely at the edges of the face. Does the facial skin tone match the rest of the head or the body? Are the edges of the face sharp enough? If you suspect video of a person speaking has been doctored, look at their mouth. Do their lip movements match the audio perfectly? Sometimes the context matters. Take a beat to consider whether what you’re seeing is reasonable. The Poynter journalism website advises that if you see a public figure doing something that seems “exaggerated, unrealistic or not in character”, it could be a deepfake. Another approach is to use AI to fight AI. Microsoft has developed an authenticator tool that can analyze photos or videos to give a confidence score on whether it’s been manipulated (操控). Chipmaker Intel’s Fake Catcher uses algorithms (算法) to analyze an image’s pixels (像素) to determine if it’s real or fake. All this being said, artificial intelligence has been advancing with breakneck speed and AI models are being trained on Internet data to produce increasingly higher-quality content with fewer flaws. That means there’s no guarantee that this advice will still be valid even a year from now. Experts say it might even be dangerous to put the burden on ordinary people to become digital Sherlocks because it could give them a false sense of confidence as it becomes increasingly difficult, even for trained eyes, to spot deepfakes. 8. What is the concern regarding AI fakery? A. The decline in artistic creativity. B. The difficulty in identifying truth. C. The ease of technical skill acquisition. D. The rise in AI-generated entertainment. 9. Which image is likely generated by AI deepfake technology? A. An image with consistent skin tones. B. An image with proper public figure action. C. An image with unclear edges around the face. D. An image with perfect lip movement with audio. 10. Which of the following is the method for an AI tool to detect fake media? A. Training AI models on Internet data. B. Applying machine learning algorithms. C. Evaluating the likelihood of media manipulation. D. Producing higher-quality content with fewer flaws. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the public’s ability to detect deepfakes? A. Optimistic. B. Pessimistic. C. Neutral. D. Dismissive. 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. 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 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 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. B y 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. T he motor skills of device-heavy children. D. T he hidden costs of handwriting’s decline. 14. Why are handwritten exams reportedly being brought back? A. To address character amnesia. B. To improve students’ handwriting. C. To promote the sales of “blue books”. D. To  limit students’ reliance on AI tools in assessments. 15. What is the best title for the passage? A. An old skill gaining new value in the Al age B. A debated method to fight against AI cheating C. Digital progress pushing handwriting into decline D. Cognitive edges of handwriting versus typing and AI?  第二节七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，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。 Improve your attention span May I have your attention, please? I’ll try and be quick, as I probably only have about 47 seconds before your mind starts wandering (走神). That, according to psychologist Dr Gloria Mark, is now our average attention span (注意力持续时间), based on her latest study of people’s use of screens in the workplace. Of course, this figure has its limits. As other psychologists have argued your concentration can vary so much, the very idea of an “average" attention span is almost meaningless. ____16____. Nevertheless, it’s likely your attention span is decreasing. As one recent survey suggests, nearly half the population nowadays feels as if theirs is worse than it was. ____17____. Of course, we can silence our phone notifications (通知) and put on noise-canceling headphones. ____18____. Unknowingly, you’re “interrupting” yourself all day long, according to Mark. Even while reading this, you may have gotten the sudden desire to look something up online, check your emails or do something else. “It’s something we do without realizing,” said Mark. ____19____. Lining up your most mentally taxing tasks with your natural peaks (顶峰) of focus is key to concentration, says Mark. Her research has found that, on average, these high points occur around 10 a.m. in the morning and around 2 — 3 p.m. in the afternoon. ____20____, depending on whether you’re more of a morning person or a night person. “If a person is an early type, their peak focus would be earlier — before 10 a.m.,” explains Mark. “And if they’re a late type, their peak focus will be later.” A. There are differences around these times B. Don’t expect to always be focused and productive C. One solution to this is to pay attention to your body clock D. Because of this, there isn’t even scientific agreement on how to measure focus E. With the ever-present pull of our emails and social media, it’s easy to see why F. However, even when we’ve done all that, there’s still the enemy within to deal with G. While we don’t all have the same attention span, truly paying attention to something is universal 第二部分：语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节：完形填空(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 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白 处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.

He ____31____ “If she becomes the next Taylor Swift, give us a shoutout.” At her birthday party, Aubree ____32____ into the living room like a joyful rabbit. Her face lit up at the sight of the keyboard. That night, Shumaker texted Spencer her thanks, adding that Aubree was so fascinated by the ____33____ that she hadn’t even opened her other gifts.

Alex and Sam became partners. They picked out a little hamster (仓鼠) with soft brown fur and shiny black eyes. They named it Peanut and set up a cage for it on the bookshelf next to their desks. They took turns feeding Peanut, cleaning the cage and giving it water. Alex liked watching Peanut run on the wheel in the cage. Sam liked holding it gently. Peanut soon became the class star. Everyone passing by would stop and say hi. Some even brought vegetable pieces and Peanut would eat them greedily. One morning, it was Alex’s turn to clean the cage. He took Peanut out and set it on a chair while he cleaned the plastic base. When he finished and looked back, Peanut was gone. Alex’s heart sank. He got down on his hands and knees and searched under the desks, his face pale with worry. At that moment, Sam rushed over, face red, blaming Alex for being careless. Alex felt awful but also angry. “Hey, remember yesterday you left the cage door unlocked? So don’t just blame me.” Sam shook his head. “I didn’t lose him today — you did!” They said no more and searched under every chair, behind the bookshelf, and inside desks. But Peanut was nowhere to be seen. Then the bell rang. They had to stop. Sam walked back to his seat, head down. Alex stood there for a second, then did the same. The empty cage sitting on the bookshelf was like a wall standing between them, right in their hearts. After school, without a word, they both stayed behind. They searched everywhere again but found nothing. Alex was about to give up when he heard a tiny scratching (抓挠) sound. It came from the corner near the bookshelf. 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。 Immediately, Alex rushed to the bookshelf. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Picking Peanut up, Alex and Sam looked at each other, both with a guilty look. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 广州市真光中学2026学年第一学期期中测试高二英语试题 2026.10 本试卷共9页，满分130分。考试用时120分钟。 第一部分阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Uber Boats: River Bus Services of Thames Exploring London by boat along the River Thames is a fantastic experience.

(作为伦敦公共交通网络的一部分，这些游船提供了一种实用的沿河出行方式，很像公交车或地铁。乘坐river bus，游船穿过市中心时，你能以独特的视角欣赏伦敦。)”可知，River Bus服务能为游客提供兼具实用性且有独特观赏视角的出行方式。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To board a River Bus, you can either book your ticket online in advance or purchase (购买) one at the ticket office. If the ticket office is closed, you can buy a ticket on board. You can also use your oyster card to pay for the tickets.(要乘坐river bus，你可以提前在网上订票，也可以在售票处购票。如果售票处关门了，你还能在船上买票。你也可以用牡蛎卡支付车票费用。)”可知，river bus的购票方式多样，能看出购票方式的便捷性。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中的票价表及优惠信息，“With the Oyster Card”栏中成人单程票价为7英镑，5-15岁儿童单程票价为3.5英镑，一对夫妻加一个10岁孩子的单程最低总费用为7×2+3.5=17.5英镑。故选B项。 B In medical school and throughout his career as a neonatologist, William Cashore was often asked to read and correct others’ work.

When the field narrowed to two competitors, the other boy misspelled “uncinate”, which means bent like a hook. Cashore spelled it correctly, then clinched the title with the word “transept”, an architectural term for the transverse part of a cross-shaped church. Cashore, who was given $500 and an encyclopedia set, enjoyed a brief turn as a celebrity.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了威廉·卡索尔参加拼字比赛的经历以及取得的成就。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In medical school and throughout his career as a neonatologist, William Cashore was often asked to read and correct others’ work. Little did they know that he was a spelling champion, with a trophy at home to prove it. (在医学院和整个新生儿科医生的职业生涯中，威廉·卡索尔经常被要求阅读和纠正别人的作品。他们不知道他是一个拼写冠军，家里有一个奖杯可以证明这一点。)”可知，卡索尔利用自己的拼写能力帮助他人阅读和纠正作品。故选C项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“When the field narrowed to two competitors, the other boy misspelled “uncinate”, which means bent like a hook. Cashore spelled it correctly, then clinched the title with the word “transept”, an architectural term for the transverse part of a cross-shaped church. (当比赛只剩下两名选手时，另一个男孩拼错了“uncinate”，意思是弯曲如钩。卡索尔拼写正确，然后用“transept”这个词 冠军，“transept”是十字形教堂横断部分的建筑术语。)”可知，卡索尔在对手拼错单词后，自己拼写正确，最终赢得了比赛。因此，“clinched”在此处的意思是“赢得”。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“It gave me much more self-confidence and also gave me a sense that it’s very important to try to get things as correct as possible,” he said. “I’ve always been that way, and I still feel that way. If people are careless about spelling and writing, you wonder if they’re careless about their thinking.” (“这不仅让我自信心大增，还让我意识到，尽可能把事情做到准确无误是至关重要的。” 他说，“我向来如此，现在也依然秉持这样的态度。如果一个人在拼写和写作上敷衍马虎，那你难免会怀疑，他在思考问题时是否也同样草率。”)”可知，拼字比赛增强了卡索尔的自信，并让他更加注重事情的准确性。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Preparing for a spelling bee today requires more concentration and technique than it did decades ago,” Cashore said. “The vocabulary of the words are far, far more technical. The English language, in the meantime, has imported a great many words from foreign languages which were not part of the English language when I was in eighth grade,” he added. (卡索尔说：“如今备战拼字大赛，需要比几十年前投入更多的专注力，也要掌握更多的技巧。” 他补充道：“现在比赛涉及的词汇专业性要高出太多太多。与此同时，英语吸纳了大量外来词汇，这些词在我上八年级的时候，还根本不属于英语词汇的范畴。” )”可知，卡索尔认为现代拼拼写比赛需要更多的专注力和技巧，词汇也更加专业，因此我们应该努力提升相关技能来准备今天的拼写比赛。故选D项。 C AI fakery (伪造) is quickly becoming one of the biggest problems confronting us online. Deceptive pictures, videos and audio are increasing as a result of the rise and misuse of generative artificial intelligence tools. With AI deepfakes cropping up almost every day, it’s getting harder to tell what’s real from what’s not. Video and image generators like DALL-E, make it easy for people without any technical skills to create deepfakes — just type a request and the system spits it out. These fake images might seem harmless. But they can be used to carry out fraud and identity theft. Here is how to avoid being cheated by deepfakes. Face-swapping is one of the most common deepfake methods. Experts advise looking closely at the edges of the face. Does the facial skin tone match the rest of the head or the body? Are the edges of the face sharp enough? If you suspect video of a person speaking has been doctored, look at their mouth. Do their lip movements match the audio perfectly? Sometimes the context matters. Take a beat to consider whether what you’re seeing is reasonable. The Poynter journalism website advises that if you see a public figure doing something that seems “exaggerated, unrealistic or not in character”, it could be a deepfake. Another approach is to use AI to fight AI. Microsoft has developed an authenticator tool that can analyze photos or videos to give a confidence score on whether it’s been manipulated (操控). Chipmaker Intel’s Fake Catcher uses algorithms (算法) to analyze an image’s pixels (像素) to determine if it’s real or fake. All this being said, artificial intelligence has been advancing with breakneck speed and AI models are being trained on Internet data to produce increasingly higher-quality content with fewer flaws. That means there’s no guarantee that this advice will still be valid even a year from now. Experts say it might even be dangerous to put the burden on ordinary people to become digital Sherlocks because it could give them a false sense of confidence as it becomes increasingly difficult, even for trained eyes, to spot deepfakes. 8. What is the concern regarding AI fakery? A. The decline in artistic creativity. B. The difficulty in identifying truth. C. The ease of technical skill acquisition. D. The rise in AI-generated entertainment. 9. Which image is likely generated by AI deepfake technology? A. An image with consistent skin tones. B. An image with proper public figure action. C. An image with unclear edges around the face. D. An image with perfect lip movement with audio. 10. Which of the following is the method for an AI tool to detect fake media? A. Training AI models on Internet data. B. Applying machine learning algorithms. C. Evaluating the likelihood of media manipulation. D. Producing higher-quality content with fewer flaws. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the public’s ability to detect deepfakes? A. Optimistic. B. Pessimistic. C. Neutral. D. Dismissive. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了AI伪造现象，特别是深度伪造在图片、视频和音频领域的快速增加，以及它们如何成为网络上面临的重大问题。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“With AI deepfakes cropping up almost every day, it’s getting harder to tell what’s real from what’s not. Video and image generators like DALL-E, make it easy for people without any technical skills to create deepfakes—just type a request and the system spits it out.(随着人工智能换脸技术几乎每天都在出现，辨别真假变得越来越困难。像DALL-E这样的视频和图像生成器，让没有任何技术技能的人也能轻松制作出换脸内容——只需输入一个指令，系统就能生成相应内容。)”可知，随着人工智能换脸技术几乎每天都在出现，辨别真假变得越来越困难。像DALL-E这样的视频和图像生成器让没有技术技能的人也能轻松制作换脸内容。也就是说，对于人工智能造假的担忧是辨别真相的困难。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Face-swapping is one of the most common deepfake methods. Experts advise looking closely at the edges of the face. Does the facial skin tone match the rest of the head or the body? Are the edges of the face sharp enough? If you suspect video of a person speaking has been doctored, look at their mouth. Do their lip movements match the audio perfectly? (换脸是最常见的人工智能换脸方法之一。专家建议仔细观察人脸的边缘。面部肤色与头部其他部分或身体的肤色匹配吗？人脸的边缘是否足够清晰？如果你怀疑一段某人说话的视频被篡改过，那就观察他们的嘴巴。他们的嘴唇动作与音频完全匹配吗？)”可以了解判断人工智能换脸技术生成图像的方法。依据文中“Are the edges of the face sharp enough?”可判断选项C“An image with unclear edges around the face.( 一张人脸边缘不清晰的图像)”很可能是人工智能换脸技术生成的图像。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第六段“Another approach is to use AI to fight AI. Microsoft has developed an authenticator tool that can analyze photos or videos to give a confidence score on whether it’s been manipulated (操控). Chipmaker Intel’s Fake Catcher uses algorithms(算法) to analyze an image’s pixels(像素) to determine if it’s real or fake.(另一种方法是利用人工智能来对抗人工智能。微软开发了一种验证工具，它可以分析照片或视频，并给出其是否被操控的可信度评分。芯片制造商英特尔的“假图捕手”则使用算法来分析图像的像素，以确定其真假。)”可知，使用人工智能来对抗人工智能的方法中，微软开发的验证工具可以分析照片或视频，给出其是否被操控的可信度评分；英特尔的“假图捕手”使用算法分析图像像素来确定真假，这些都是评估媒体被操控的可能性的方法。由此可知，人工智能工具检测虚假媒体的方法是评估媒体被操控的可能性。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Experts say it might even be dangerous to put the burden on ordinary people to become digital Sherlocks because it could give them a false sense of confidence as it becomes increasingly difficult, even for trained eyes, to spot deepfakes.(专家表示，让普通人成为数字时代的“福尔摩斯”来辨别真假甚至可能是危险的，因为随着辨别换脸内容变得越来越困难，即使是经过专业训练的人也难以察觉，这可能会让他们产生一种错误的自信感。)”可知，专家认为让普通人成为数字时代的“福尔摩斯”来辨别真假甚至可能是危险的，因为随着辨别换脸内容变得越来越困难，即使是经过专业训练的人也难以察觉，这可能会让他们产生一种错误的自信感。作者引用专家的话，表明了自己对公众辨别深度伪造内容能力持悲观态度。故选B。 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. 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 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 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. B y 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. T he motor skills of device-heavy children. D. T he hidden costs of handwriting’s decline. 14. Why are handwritten exams reportedly being brought back? A. To address character amnesia. B. To improve students’ handwriting. C. To promote the sales of “blue books”. D. To  limit students’ reliance on AI tools in assessments. 15. What is the best title for the passage? A. An old skill gaining new value in the Al age B. A debated method to fight against AI cheating C. Digital progress pushing handwriting into decline D. Cognitive edges of handwriting versus typing and AI?  【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了在智能手机、电脑以及人工智能的冲击下，手写这一技能逐渐式微，但手写的消退存在诸多弊端，如今手写重新回归并在人工智能时代拥有了新的价值。​ 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“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.(作为一名现在主要靠键盘工作的记者，我担心就连我那精心练就的笔迹——曾经模仿我工程师母亲工整的正楷大写字母——也正在慢慢退化)”可知，作者是通过分享自身经历引出话题。​ 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Yet this decline may carry drawbacks that are often ignored.(然而这种消退可能带来一些常常被人们忽视的弊端)”等内容可知，第二段主要介绍手写技能消退背后隐藏的代价。​ 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“To fight cheating with ChatGPT, university professors are reportedly bringing back handwritten exams, driving up sales of traditional “blue books”.(据报道，为了打击使用ChatGPT作弊的行为，大学教授们正在恢复手写考试，这推高了传统“蓝皮答题册”的销量)”可知，恢复手写考试是为了在测试中限制学生对人工智能工具的依赖。​ 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“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.(最终，随着人工智能越来越多地替人类承担批判性思考，手写可能从一项濒临消失的技能，转变为为数不多能够证明人类真实理解能力的方式之一)”可知，文章主要讲一项古老技能在人工智能时代获得新价值，A项“一项古老技能在人工智能时代重获新价值”最适合作为文章标题。 第二节七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，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。 Improve your attention span May I have your attention, please? I’ll try and be quick, as I probably only have about 47 seconds before your mind starts wandering (走神). That, according to psychologist Dr Gloria Mark, is now our average attention span (注意力持续时间), based on her latest study of people’s use of screens in the workplace. Of course, this figure has its limits. As other psychologists have argued your concentration can vary so much, the very idea of an “average" attention span is almost meaningless. ____16____. Nevertheless, it’s likely your attention span is decreasing. As one recent survey suggests, nearly half the population nowadays feels as if theirs is worse than it was. ____17____. Of course, we can silence our phone notifications (通知) and put on noise-canceling headphones. ____18____. Unknowingly, you’re “interrupting” yourself all day long, according to Mark. Even while reading this, you may have gotten the sudden desire to look something up online, check your emails or do something else. “It’s something we do without realizing,” said Mark. ____19____. Lining up your most mentally taxing tasks with your natural peaks (顶峰) of focus is key to concentration, says Mark. Her research has found that, on average, these high points occur around 10 a.m. in the morning and around 2 — 3 p.m. in the afternoon. ____20____, depending on whether you’re more of a morning person or a night person. “If a person is an early type, their peak focus would be earlier — before 10 a.m.,” explains Mark. “And if they’re a late type, their peak focus will be later.” A. There are differences around these times B. Don’t expect to always be focused and productive C. One solution to this is to pay attention to your body clock D. Because of this, there isn’t even scientific agreement on how to measure focus E. With the ever-present pull of our emails and social media, it’s easy to see why F. However, even when we’ve done all that, there’s still the enemy within to deal with G. While we don’t all have the same attention span, truly paying attention to something is universal 【答案】16. D 17. E 18. F 19. C 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了现代人注意力时长缩短的现象，分析了外部和内部的原因，并提出根据个人生物钟安排任务以提高专注力的解决方案。 【16题详解】 前文“That, according to psychologist Dr Gloria Mark, is now our average attention span (注意力持续时间), based on her latest study of people’s use of screens in the workplace. Of course, this figure has its limits. As other psychologists have argued your concentration can vary so much, the very idea of an “average" attention span is almost meaningless. (根据心理学家Gloria Mark博士对人们在工作场所使用屏幕的最新研究，这是我们现在的平均注意力持续时间。当然，这个数字也有其局限性。正如其他心理学家所认为的那样，你的注意力可以变化很大，“平均”注意力持续时间的概念几乎是毫无意义的。)”指出平均注意力时长的数据及概念存在局限性，因此D项“Because of this, there isn’t even scientific agreement on how to measure focus (正因如此，科学界甚至对如何测量注意力都未达成一致)”符合语境，指出测量注意力也存在分歧，和前文构成因果关系，其中的this指代前文的争议。故选D。 【17题详解】 前文“Nevertheless, it’s likely your attention span is decreasing. As one recent survey suggests, nearly half the population nowadays feels as if theirs is worse than it was. (然而，很可能你的注意力持续时间正在减少。最近的一项调查显示，如今近一半的人感觉他们的注意力持续时间比以前更糟了。)”指出调查显示近半数人感觉注意力变差，因此E项“With the ever-present pull of our emails and social media, it’s easy to see why (由于电子邮件和社交媒体的持续干扰，这种现象很容易理解)”符合语境，解释注意力变差的原因，承接前文。故选E。 【18题详解】 前文“Of course, we can silence our phone notifications (通知) and put on noise-canceling headphones. (当然，我们可以将手机通知静音，戴上降噪耳机。)”提到关闭通知等外部措施，后文“Unknowingly, you’re “interrupting” yourself all day long, according to Mark. (Mark说，在不知不觉中，你一整天都在“打断”自己。)”提到自我打断的问题，此处需转折指出内部干扰仍存在，因此F项“However, even when we’ve done all that, there’s still the enemy within to deal with (然而，即使做了这些，我们仍需应对内在的敌人)”符合语境，和前文构成转折，引出后文的内部问题。故选F。 【19题详解】 后文“Lining up your most mentally taxing tasks with your natural peaks (顶峰) of focus is key to concentration, says Mark. (Mark说，把最耗费脑力的任务和你最容易集中注意力的时间排在一起是集中注意力的关键。)”建议根据生物钟安排任务，此处需提出关注生物钟的解决办法，因此C项“One solution to this is to pay attention to your body clock (一个解决方法是关注你的生物钟)”符合语境，提出生物钟方案，引出后文。故选C。 【20题详解】 前文“Her research has found that, on average, these high points occur around 10 a.m. in the morning and around 2 — 3 p.m. in the afternoon. (她的研究发现，平均而言，这些高峰出现在上午10点左右和下午2点至3点左右。)”给出平均高峰时间，后文“depending on whether you’re more of a morning person or a night person. “If a person is an early type, their peak focus would be earlier — before 10 a.m.,” explains Mark. “And if they’re a late type, their peak focus will be later.” (这取决于你是早起的人还是晚睡的人。Mark解释说：“如果一个人是早起型的人，他们的注意力会更早——在上午10点之前。如果他们是晚睡型的人，他们的注意力高峰将在晚些时候。”)”具体解释早起型人和晚睡型人的个体差异，此处需补充说明高峰的时间差异，因此A项“There are differences around these times (这些时间存在个体差异)”符合语境，承接前文，后文是对其展开说明。故选A。 第二部分：语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节：完形填空(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 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白 处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.

Alex and Sam became partners. They picked out a little hamster (仓鼠) with soft brown fur and shiny black eyes. They named it Peanut and set up a cage for it on the bookshelf next to their desks. They took turns feeding Peanut, cleaning the cage and giving it water. Alex liked watching Peanut run on the wheel in the cage. Sam liked holding it gently. Peanut soon became the class star. Everyone passing by would stop and say hi. Some even brought vegetable pieces and Peanut would eat them greedily. One morning, it was Alex’s turn to clean the cage. He took Peanut out and set it on a chair while he cleaned the plastic base. When he finished and looked back, Peanut was gone. Alex’s heart sank. He got down on his hands and knees and searched under the desks, his face pale with worry. At that moment, Sam rushed over, face red, blaming Alex for being careless. Alex felt awful but also angry. “Hey, remember yesterday you left the cage door unlocked? So don’t just blame me.” Sam shook his head. “I didn’t lose him today — you did!” They said no more and searched under every chair, behind the bookshelf, and inside desks. But Peanut was nowhere to be seen. Then the bell rang. They had to stop. Sam walked back to his seat, head down. Alex stood there for a second, then did the same. The empty cage sitting on the bookshelf was like a wall standing between them, right in their hearts. After school, without a word, they both stayed behind. They searched everywhere again but found nothing. Alex was about to give up when he heard a tiny scratching (抓挠) sound. It came from the corner near the bookshelf. 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。 Immediately, Alex rushed to the bookshelf. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Picking Peanut up, Alex and Sam looked at each other, both with a guilty look. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Immediately, Alex rushed to the bookshelf. Bending down, he gently moved aside the piled books one by one, his heart pounding with anxiety. There, curling in the narrow space behind the shelf, was Peanut, trembling faintly, its tiny paws still holding a piece of vegetable. Alex let out a long sigh of relief and gently scooped up the little creature into his palms, rubbing his face against its soft fur. At that moment, Sam hurried over, eyes wide with astonishment, and the tense atmosphere between them instantly melted away. Picking Peanut up, Alex and Sam looked at each other, both with a guilty look. Alex was the first to break the silence, apologizing sincerely for his carelessness. Sam, his face flushed with shame, also apologized for losing his temper and blaming Alex without thinking twice. They carefully placed Peanut back in its cage and secured the door firmly. This small accident taught them a valuable lesson: staying calm and working together. Not only did they regain their lovely little pet, but they also learned to be more responsible and forgiving. Their friendship became deeper and more precious through this experience. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了亚历克斯和山姆结对认领饲养可爱仓鼠，二人默契照料、相伴相处，仓鼠也成为班级小明星。不料亚历克斯打扫笼舍时不慎让仓鼠走失，两人互相埋怨、心生隔阂，放学后结伴四处搜寻无果。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ① 由第一段首句可知，接下来可以描写两人一起小心翻找角落，发现受惊躲起来的仓鼠，内心十分惊喜，之前的矛盾瞬间缓和。 ② 由第二段首句可知，接下来可以描写两人主动互相道歉，反省自己的冲动和不负责任，一起把仓鼠放回笼子，重归于好。 2. 续写线索 冲向书架仔细搜寻 —— 发现受惊的仓鼠 —— 紧张心情放松 —— 两人心怀愧疚 —— 互相诚恳道歉 —— 细心安置仓鼠 —— 和好如初，懂得合作与珍惜友谊 3.词类激活 行为类 ①（心脏快速）跳动：pound/race/beat fast ②颤抖：tremble/shake/shiver 情绪类 ①惊讶：astonishment/surprise/shock ②诚恳地：sincerely/earnestly/genuinely 【点睛】【高分句型1】Bending down, he gently moved aside the piled books one by one, his heart pounding with anxiety.（运用了现在分词bending作状语和独立主格结构） 【高分句型2】Not only did they regain their lovely little pet, but they also learned to be more responsible and forgiving. （运用了部分倒装） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
