It not only affects future earnings but also reflects personal interests and life goals. A report from Georgetown University breaks down the economic value of different majors, looking at entry-level wages and comparing bachelor’s degree holders with those who hold graduate degrees. Not all bachelor’s degrees lead to the same income. Among entry-level workers, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) majors earn the most. Along with business, STEM is one of the most preferred choices, as it combines strong employment demand with attractive long-term pay. For those who continue to graduate school, earnings usually increase — sometimes dramatically. Sciences see the biggest jump, while arts have the smallest growth. Here’s the breakdown of average earnings and the wage increase from a graduate degree. Major Bachelor’s Average Earnings Wage Increase by Graduate Degree Engineering $80,000 25. 00% Computer $72,000 24. 60% Sciences $64,000 50. 00% Business $65,000 33. 30% Arts $48, 700 22. 90% However, a major does not determine one’s future. The top 25% of education majors can earn at least $59,000 a year, matching the bottom 25% of engineering majors. This highlights how personal effort and wise career choices matter greatly, sometimes more than the major itself. Therefore, when choosing a major, we need to take our interests, strengths and long-term life goals into full consideration, without ignoring practical value. No matter which major we choose, continuous hard work and right attitudes will always help us achieve success and realize our own value in life. 1. Why are STEM majors so popular? A. They share some core courses with business. B. They offer good prospects and competitive pay. C. They guarantee great short-term economic value. D. They mean attractive wages to mid-level workers. 2. Which major earns the most on average after graduate school? A. Sciences.  B. Business.  C. Computer.  D. Engineering. 3. What is the author’s advice to young people? A. Prioritizing the potential earnings.  B. Planning careers based on majors. C. Going all out in their chosen field.  D. Following their personal interests. B People are always shocked when they find out I own three white couches (长沙发). “But you have kids!” they say. “And pets! You must live in constant fear of stain (污渍)!” Honestly, I’m always amused by the panic they project onto my furniture. I call it “stainxiety”. And yes, I’ve felt it too. My own worst-case scenes play out daily: a chocolate chip becoming liquid on the cushion (坐垫), or my kid running away from dinner with dirty hands. My heart leaps into my throat. I picture the worst: Should I just throw the couch away? Is this the one that finally ruins it? Then I reach for the stain remover — desperately. A few moments later, the mark disappears, my heart steadies, and life goes on. I didn’t go for white couches to prove I’m fearless. I chose them because they make the room feel calm and bright. Somewhere along the way, they started teaching me how to handle small disasters without turning them into big ones. The turning point came a couple of years ago. I was on a work trip when my husband called, whispering in panic, “There’s blood everywhere.” My brain was instantly flooded with the worst images. It turned out that my son had a tiny cut and moved from cushion to cushion before anyone noticed. He was fine. The couch was fine. But I saw something wasn’t: the way my family walked on eggshells around me, afraid to mention a little mess. That was the moment I started rethinking my own relationship with stains — not to eliminate the panic, but to move through it faster. Now I buy washable slipcovers. When anxiety rises, I clean the stain, calm down, and enjoy daily life. The funny thing is, my white couches aren’t perfectly clean anymore. They’re lived-in. They tell stories of birthday parties and lazy Sundays; they’re proof that we’ve really lived here. Stains will come, and we’ll deal with them. That’s not chaos; it’s confidence. 4. What causes the author’s stainxiety? A. The couches’ getting dirty very easily.  B. The kids’ always ruining the couches. C. The white furniture’s needing replacing.  D. The house’s taking effort to keep clean. 5. Why did the author originally choose white couches? A. To make small marks more noticeable.  B. To create a peaceful living atmosphere. C. To practise a certain living philosophy.  D. To show her brave attitude to untidiness. 6. What did the author realize after the phone call? A. She could barely remove dirt.  B. She was too focused on chaos. C. Her couches were a bad choice.  D. Her panic affected her family. 7. What key lesson has the author learned? A. A full life leaves room for imperfection.  B. Confidence comes from avoiding the mess. C. Small accidents in life should be ignored.  D. Family happiness outweighs personal taste. C The moringa tree, known as the “miracle tree”, is one of the most nutrient-rich plants on the planet. Recently, a team of scientists from Brazil and the UK found that extracts (提取物) from the seeds of these trees are highly effective at removing microplastics from water. Microplastics are tiny particles (微粒) that can be as small as 1/25,000 of an inch and are pernicious, raising serious health concerns. They can get into our food and drinking water. A previous study found microplastics in 83% of tap water samples worldwide. They have also been found in the human body, including the brain and reproductive organs. The seeds of the tree serve as a natural material which causes tiny particles in water to stick together and form larger masses that can be easily filtered (过滤) out. In their study, the researchers focused on PVC microplastics, one of the most dangerous types of microplastics. The team discovered that seed extracts could remove 98.5% of these microplastics from tap water when used in filtering systems. This removal rate is nearly equal to that of alum, a commonly used chemical substance. Moreover, the scientists found that moringa seeds outperformed alum in water across broader pH ranges. A major advantage of using the seeds instead of alum is that they are renewable and biodegradable and raise fewer safety concerns. Professor Matthew Campen said replacing alum-based filtering materials with a natural product could lower the cost of removing PVC microplastics. He added that this method would also reduce the need for mining the metal used to make alum, an activity that can have negative environmental consequences. However, more research is still needed to determine whether moringa seeds work against other types of microplastics as effectively as they do against PVC microplastics. Matthew Campen expressed confidence that moringa seeds would prove effective against various types of plastics, and the team plans to conduct follow-up studies on this topic. 8. What does the underlined word “pernicious” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Invisible.  B. Harmful.  C. Simple.  D. Temporary. 9. How do the miracle tree’s seeds help remove microplastics? A. By absorbing them into the seeds.  B. By changing the acid level of water. C. By gathering tiny particles together.  D. By breaking them into smaller parts. 10. What did Matthew Campen say about the seed extracts? A. They posed no safety concerns.  B. They offered a sustainable solution. C. They cost more than chemicals.  D. They required metal mining activities. 11. What will be the research team’s focus regarding the seeds? A. Proving their lasting effectiveness.  B. Putting them into practical use soon. C. Exploring their wider applications.  D. Testing them on PVC microplastics. D Many live in quiet fear that AI will someday be the death of art. With screenwriters protesting and AI-generated works selling for millions, the future can seem rather dark. But history paints a different picture. When photography emerged in the 19th century, painters feared the worst. Around 1840, a French painter declared, “From today, painting is dead!” In truth, the camera didn’t kill painting — it forced it to evolve. Movements like Impressionism and Cubism (立体主义) arose in part from painters asking “What can I do that this new machine cannot?” The answer was to represent the world subjectively, as they themselves experienced it. Today’s artists face a harder question, because AI is a more powerful tool than the camera. But one thing AI cannot do is simply exist in the world; to live a life that is naturally unique. It cannot form relationships or build memories of its own. For this reason, human-made art in the age of AI will likely turn more personal, inseparable from the artist’s own character and experiences. We can already see this shift happening. More and more video creators are choosing to appear on camera without heavy editing to lean toward what distinguishes them: themselves. Artists will also need to keep reinventing their styles. The more you stick to a specific style, the easier it will be for AI to do what you do. Originality won’t be art’s only aim. Inimitability — the resistance to being reproduced — will become just as important. The pursuit of inimitability may take art in an unexpected direction. As AI art becomes more advanced, human artists will seek to distinguish themselves through intentional imperfection, for example, rough lines rather than polished images. Even mistakes will be key components of AI-era aesthetics (美学). The more AI can do, the more our idea of what makes us human will change, and human-made art will reflect that. 12. How did painting change with the rise of photography? A. Its styles showed less variety.  B. Its creation involved less emotion. C. It paid more attention to reality.  D. It became more personally expressive. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. What today’s artists need to stay productive.  B. What kind of human ability AI may develop. C. How AI’s limitations may reshape human art.  D. How human experiences affect artistic works. 14. Which quality of art will become increasingly valued? A. Being difficult to copy.  B. Keeping a fixed pattern. C. Showing unique editing.  D. Appearing highly perfect. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards AI’s influence on human art? A. Slightly critical.   B. Deeply concerned. C. Overly enthusiastic.   D. Cautiously optimistic. 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。 A map gives you certainty. You can hold it in your hands, follow its borders, and know exactly where it ends. A scientific theory tells a different story. ____16____ And that is precisely what makes science possible. Newton’s laws of motion are a perfect example. For more than two centuries, they explained the physical world with remarkable accuracy. ____17____ However, then came relativity and quantum mechanics (量子力学). They revealed that Newton’s laws of motion only apply on a specific scale: the slow-moving, everyday world. Newton was not wrong. His theory simply had a limited field of applicability. Within that field, it remains as reliable today as ever. ____18____ Instead, they are redefined. As our knowledge expands, we identify the conditions under which a theory applies and where it no longer does. The difficulty is that those boundaries cannot be predicted beforehand. A theory appears complete until an unexpected observation can no longer be explained by it. Here lies the paradox (悖论) of science. Every theory works until it doesn’t. What seems like a complete explanation today may simply be one that has not yet encountered the exception that challenges it. Every scientific breakthrough reveals a new truth. ____19____ People are naturally attracted to the dream of a single theory that explains everything. Yet that ideal is probably beyond our reach. ____20____ The willingness to acknowledge ignorance, welcome uncertainty, and accept the possibility of being wrong is what keeps science alive. A. Its boundaries are hidden. B. Each discovery leaves its mark. C. Great theories are rarely overthrown. D. It also reminds us that no theory is final. E. After all, every breakthrough began with creativity. F. Science advances because it remains open to revision. G. Many believed that the ultimate theory had been discovered. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I used to spend years searching for passion. Everyone around me seemed so ____21____ of their direction, but I kept jumping from one to another, never able to ____22____. I went after every ____23____. One month, I thought writing was my calling. I started a novel, wrote fifty pages, but ____24____ them all. Later, I decided to become a ____25____. I eagerly tended every seed, but nothing came up. This pursuit ____26____ me like a cage. And I could barely ____27____ anything else. A good meal, a sunny afternoon, a laugh with friends — even these felt like ____28____ to me; they only got in the way. Searching for passion had become a ____29____, not a joy. Then one day, I was eating toast as sunlight filled the room. At that ____30____ moment, I felt it, the “plain passion”. I had thought passion had to be ____31____. But the truth was simpler. Actually, I had always been ____32____ — not in a grand way, but in small moments: the bread, the warmth, and a morning with no plan. I’ve never found my “passion.” Perhaps that word itself is the ____33____, too grand and too heavy. Life isn’t a ____34____ to reach the finish line, but a slow unfolding of many small moments. These moments pile up, ____35____, like coins in a jar (罐子) left in a dark corner. And one day you reach in and realize: I have enough. I’ve always had enough. 21. A. convinced  B. respectful  C. protective  D. considerate 22. A. turn back  B. slow up  C. settle down  D. step out 23. A. reward  B. possibility  C. speech  D. expectation 24.

A. answer  B. mindset  C. problem  D. framework 34. A. mirror  B. race  C. novel  D. show 35. A. unchanged  B. unrecorded  C. unwanted  D. unnoticed 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The Songhua inkstone is a distinctive type of inkstone, one of China’s Four Treasures of the Study. Made from Songhua stone, it is smooth enough on the surface ____36____ (generate) the ink, yet suitably rough for grinding (磨) ink sticks ____37____ wearing down the brush. In Qiaotou, Liaoning Province, making Songhua inkstones ____38____ (keep) alive for centuries. By the Ming Dynasty, local craftsmen had already made Songhua inkstones for their own use. The craft reached its peak during the Qing Dynasty, when Emperor Kangxi established a royal workshop ____39____ produced these inkstones for the court. This craft follows the principle of “the beauty of balance and harmony.” A craftsman selects a pure stone, then carves and polishes it according to its natural patterns — a process that can take months, ____40____ (transform) raw stone into a delicate work of art. Beyond its artistic appeal, a fine inkstone should also meet ____41____ (practice) standards. In 2014, the craft of making Songhua inkstones ____42____ (enter) China’s national intangible cultural heritage list. Today, Feng Yueting, ____43____ young inheritor (传承人) of the craft, works to promote inkstone culture through study tours, livestreams and short videos. “My original ____44____ (intend) was simply to introduce Songhua inkstones to more young people. Only when this heritage becomes ____45____ (wide) recognized will it grow stronger and, in turn, inspire more people to learn this time-honored craft,” says Feng. 第四部分  写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，你校英文广播站新增“每日金句”（Quote of the Day）栏目，但同学们对它不是很感兴趣。作为站长，请你给广播站顾问Ms. Carrie写一封邮件，分析原因并提出改进方案。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80个左右。 （2）请按如下格式作答。 Dear Ms. Carrie, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 47. 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。 Miles was certain his plan was perfect. The numbers didn’t lie. The old Maple Street neighborhood had only one-quarter the commercial efficiency of the new downtown district. Its buildings looked worn and outdated. The solution was clear: full demolition (拆除), followed by a large commercial complex. At the city council public hearing, the young city planning director presented his plan confidently. First came the data comparing foot traffic and showing sales in each area. Next, he stopped for a while, letting the new restaurant design sink in. The flagship restaurant featured clean white walls decorated with uniform artwork. There was an open kitchen, self-service ordering machines, and a separate area for takeout food. Every part of the space was designed to be as efficient as possible. Then came the public comment period. Maggie, the owner of Harbor Diner, which had been there for 28 years, spoke about how these family-run shops held the community together. Several other shop owners spoke after her, saying much the same thing — memories, emotions, and community bonds. Miles listened politely, but his opinion remained unchanged. He thought they were just afraid of change. As required by regulations, the planning department had to conduct a site visit. Miles chose an ordinary Wednesday afternoon and went to Harbor Diner. Barely five minutes after he sat down, a man in work boots pushed through the door. Before he could say a word, Maggie called toward the kitchen, “Bacon cheeseburger, chili fries, black coffee!” The man smiled, nodded, and headed straight for his regular seat. He moved as naturally as if he were walking into his own dining room. Miles looked around, his eyes moving slowly across the wall. There were yellowed photos of the Maple Street Little League team from twenty years ago, the players smiling proudly behind a trophy (奖杯). There was also a poster for a lost orange cat. And a handwritten note said, “Mrs. Henderson’s piano Lessons. Beginners welcome.” 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右。 （2）请按如下格式作答。 Back in his office, something began to shift in his mind. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two months later, Miles presented his new plan in the same city council room. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三英语试题 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 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。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，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。 1.

You must live in constant fear of stain (污渍)!” Honestly, I’m always amused by the panic they project onto my furniture. I call it “stainxiety”. And yes, I’ve felt it too. My own worst-case scenes play out daily: a chocolate chip becoming liquid on the cushion (坐垫), or my kid running away from dinner with dirty hands. My heart leaps into my throat. I picture the worst: Should I just throw the couch away? Is this the one that finally ruins it? Then I reach for the stain remover — desperately. A few moments later, the mark disappears, my heart steadies, and life goes on. I didn’t go for white couches to prove I’m fearless. I chose them because they make the room feel calm and bright. Somewhere along the way, they started teaching me how to handle small disasters without turning them into big ones. The turning point came a couple of years ago. I was on a work trip when my husband called, whispering in panic, “There’s blood everywhere.” My brain was instantly flooded with the worst images. It turned out that my son had a tiny cut and moved from cushion to cushion before anyone noticed. He was fine. The couch was fine. But I saw something wasn’t: the way my family walked on eggshells around me, afraid to mention a little mess. That was the moment I started rethinking my own relationship with stains — not to eliminate the panic, but to move through it faster. Now I buy washable slipcovers. When anxiety rises, I clean the stain, calm down, and enjoy daily life. The funny thing is, my white couches aren’t perfectly clean anymore. They’re lived-in. They tell stories of birthday parties and lazy Sundays; they’re proof that we’ve really lived here. Stains will come, and we’ll deal with them. That’s not chaos; it’s confidence. 4. What causes the author’s stainxiety? A. The couches’ getting dirty very easily.  B. The kids’ always ruining the couches. C. The white furniture’s needing replacing.  D. The house’s taking effort to keep clean. 5. Why did the author originally choose white couches? A. To make small marks more noticeable.  B. To create a peaceful living atmosphere. C. To practise a certain living philosophy.  D. To show her brave attitude to untidiness. 6. What did the author realize after the phone call? A. She could barely remove dirt.  B. She was too focused on chaos. C. Her couches were a bad choice.  D. Her panic affected her family. 7. What key lesson has the author learned? A. A full life leaves room for imperfection.  B. Confidence comes from avoiding the mess. C. Small accidents in life should be ignored.  D. Family happiness outweighs personal taste. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述作者拥有三张白色沙发，从害怕污渍到慢慢接纳生活中的不完美。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“People are always shocked when they find out I own three white couches (长沙发). “But you have kids!” they say. “And pets! You must live in constant fear of stain (污渍)!”(当人们发现我有三张白色沙发时总是很震惊。“但是你有孩子！”他们说。“还有宠物！你一定一直生活在对污渍的恐惧之中！”)”以及第二段“And yes, I’ve felt it too.(是的，我也有这种感受。)”可知，白色沙发容易变脏引发了作者的“污渍焦虑”。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“I didn’t go for white couches to prove I’m fearless. I chose them because they make the room feel calm and bright.(我选择白色沙发不是为了证明自己无所畏惧。我选择它们，是因为它们让房间感觉宁静又明亮。)”可知，作者最初选择白色沙发是为了营造宁静的居住氛围。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“But I saw something wasn’t: the way my family walked on eggshells around me, afraid to mention a little mess.(但我发现有件事不对劲：我的家人在我面前小心翼翼，一点脏乱都不敢提。)”可知，作者意识到自己的恐慌影响到了家人。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“They’re lived-in. They tell stories of birthday parties and lazy Sundays; they’re proof that we’ve really lived here.(它们带着生活痕迹，诉说着生日派对和慵懒周日的故事；它们证明我们在这里真实地生活过。)”可知，作者学到充实的生活可以包容不完美。 C The moringa tree, known as the “miracle tree”, is one of the most nutrient-rich plants on the planet. Recently, a team of scientists from Brazil and the UK found that extracts (提取物) from the seeds of these trees are highly effective at removing microplastics from water. Microplastics are tiny particles (微粒) that can be as small as 1/25,000 of an inch and are pernicious, raising serious health concerns. They can get into our food and drinking water. A previous study found microplastics in 83% of tap water samples worldwide. They have also been found in the human body, including the brain and reproductive organs. The seeds of the tree serve as a natural material which causes tiny particles in water to stick together and form larger masses that can be easily filtered (过滤) out. In their study, the researchers focused on PVC microplastics, one of the most dangerous types of microplastics. The team discovered that seed extracts could remove 98.5% of these microplastics from tap water when used in filtering systems. This removal rate is nearly equal to that of alum, a commonly used chemical substance. Moreover, the scientists found that moringa seeds outperformed alum in water across broader pH ranges. A major advantage of using the seeds instead of alum is that they are renewable and biodegradable and raise fewer safety concerns. Professor Matthew Campen said replacing alum-based filtering materials with a natural product could lower the cost of removing PVC microplastics. He added that this method would also reduce the need for mining the metal used to make alum, an activity that can have negative environmental consequences. However, more research is still needed to determine whether moringa seeds work against other types of microplastics as effectively as they do against PVC microplastics. Matthew Campen expressed confidence that moringa seeds would prove effective against various types of plastics, and the team plans to conduct follow-up studies on this topic. 8. What does the underlined word “pernicious” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Invisible.  B. Harmful.  C. Simple.  D. Temporary. 9. How do the miracle tree’s seeds help remove microplastics? A. By absorbing them into the seeds.  B. By changing the acid level of water. C. By gathering tiny particles together.  D. By breaking them into smaller parts. 10. What did Matthew Campen say about the seed extracts? A. They posed no safety concerns.  B. They offered a sustainable solution. C. They cost more than chemicals.  D. They required metal mining activities. 11. What will be the research team’s focus regarding the seeds? A. Proving their lasting effectiveness.  B. Putting them into practical use soon. C. Exploring their wider applications.  D. Testing them on PVC microplastics. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍辣木籽提取物可高效去除水中PVC微塑料，它环保可再生，但还需研究其对其他微塑料的效果。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Microplastics are tiny particles (微粒) that can be as small as 1/25,000 of an inch and are pernicious, raising serious health concerns. They can get into our food and drinking water. A previous study found microplastics in 83% of tap water samples worldwide. They have also been found in the human body, including the brain and reproductive organs. (微塑料是微小的颗粒，可以小至1/25000英寸，是pernicious，引发了严重的健康问题。它们可以进入我们的食物和饮用水。之前的一项研究发现，全球83%的自来水样本中都含有微塑料。它们也存在于人体内，包括大脑和生殖器官。)”可知，微塑料引发严重的健康问题，会进入食物、饮用水甚至人体的大脑和生殖器官等信息，可以推断出微塑料对人体是有害的，pernicious表示“有害的”，与Harmful意义相近。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The seeds of the tree serve as a natural material which causes tiny particles in water to stick together and form larger masses that can be easily filtered (过滤) out. (这种树的种子是一种天然材料，能让水中的微小微粒粘在一起，形成可以轻松过滤掉的大团物质。)”可知，辣木树种子是通过将微小颗粒聚集在一起来帮助去除微塑料的。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“A major advantage of using the seeds instead of alum is that they are renewable and biodegradable and raise fewer safety concerns. (使用种子代替明矾的一大优势是它们可再生、可生物降解，安全隐患更少。)”可知，种子提取物提供了一种环保且可持续的解决方案。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“However, more research is still needed to determine whether moringa seeds work against other types of microplastics as effectively as they do against PVC microplastics. Matthew Campen expressed confidence that moringa seeds would prove effective against various types of plastics, and the team plans to conduct follow-up studies on this topic. (然而，仍需要更多研究来确定辣木籽对付其他类型微塑料是否和对付PVC微塑料一样有效。Matthew Campen表示相信，辣木种子将被证明对各种类型的塑料有效，该团队计划对这一主题进行后续研究。)”可知，研究团队接下来的重点是验证辣木种子对除PVC以外的其他类型微塑料的去除效果，即探索其更广泛的应用场景。 D Many live in quiet fear that AI will someday be the death of art. With screenwriters protesting and AI-generated works selling for millions, the future can seem rather dark. But history paints a different picture. When photography emerged in the 19th century, painters feared the worst. Around 1840, a French painter declared, “From today, painting is dead!” In truth, the camera didn’t kill painting — it forced it to evolve. Movements like Impressionism and Cubism (立体主义) arose in part from painters asking “What can I do that this new machine cannot?” The answer was to represent the world subjectively, as they themselves experienced it. Today’s artists face a harder question, because AI is a more powerful tool than the camera. But one thing AI cannot do is simply exist in the world; to live a life that is naturally unique. It cannot form relationships or build memories of its own. For this reason, human-made art in the age of AI will likely turn more personal, inseparable from the artist’s own character and experiences. We can already see this shift happening. More and more video creators are choosing to appear on camera without heavy editing to lean toward what distinguishes them: themselves. Artists will also need to keep reinventing their styles. The more you stick to a specific style, the easier it will be for AI to do what you do. Originality won’t be art’s only aim. Inimitability — the resistance to being reproduced — will become just as important. The pursuit of inimitability may take art in an unexpected direction. As AI art becomes more advanced, human artists will seek to distinguish themselves through intentional imperfection, for example, rough lines rather than polished images. Even mistakes will be key components of AI-era aesthetics (美学). The more AI can do, the more our idea of what makes us human will change, and human-made art will reflect that. 12. How did painting change with the rise of photography? A. Its styles showed less variety.  B. Its creation involved less emotion. C. It paid more attention to reality.  D. It became more personally expressive. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. What today’s artists need to stay productive.  B. What kind of human ability AI may develop. C. How AI’s limitations may reshape human art.  D. How human experiences affect artistic works. 14. Which quality of art will become increasingly valued? A. Being difficult to copy.  B. Keeping a fixed pattern. C. Showing unique editing.  D. Appearing highly perfect. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards AI’s influence on human art? A. Slightly critical.   B. Deeply concerned. C. Overly enthusiastic.   D. Cautiously optimistic. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要探讨了人工智能 (AI)对艺术的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In truth, the camera didn’t kill painting — it forced it to evolve. Movements like Impressionism and Cubism (立体主义) arose in part from painters asking “What can I do that this new machine cannot?” The answer was to represent the world subjectively, as they themselves experienced it. (事实上，相机并没有杀死绘画——而是迫使它不断进化。印象派和立体主义等艺术流派的兴起，部分源于画家们提出的问题：“我能做些什么，是这台新机器做不到的？”答案是以他们自己体验世界的方式主观地呈现世界。)”可知，随着摄影术的兴起，绘画转向了更主观、更个人化的表达方式，变得更加注重个人情感与体验的表达。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“But one thing AI cannot do is simply exist in the world; to live a life that is naturally unique. It cannot form relationships or build memories of its own. For this reason, human-made art in the age of AI will likely turn more personal, inseparable from the artist's own character and experiences. (但有一件事AI做不到，那就是在世界中真实地存在；过一种自然独特的生活。它无法建立关系或形成自己的记忆。因此，AI时代的人类艺术很可能会变得更加个人化，与艺术家自身的性格和经历密不可分。)”可知，本段主要讲述了AI的局限性如何推动人类艺术向更个人化的方向重塑。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Originality won't be art's only aim. Inimitability — the resistance to being reproduced — will become just as important. (原创性不会是艺术的唯一目标。不可模仿性——对被复制的抵抗——将变得同等重要。)”以及最后一段中“The pursuit of inimitability may take art in an unexpected direction. (对不可模仿性的追求可能会将艺术引向意想不到的方向。)”可知，难以被复制的品质将越来越受到重视。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Many live in quiet fear that AI will someday be the death of art. (许多人默默担忧AI终有一天会成为艺术的终结者。)”和第二段中“But history paints a different picture. (但历史描绘了不同的画面。)”以及最后一段中“The more AI can do, the more our idea of what makes us human will change, and human-made art will reflect that. (AI能做的越多，我们对人类本质的认识就会越改变，而人类创作的艺术也将反映这一点。)”可知，作者认为 AI 不会毁灭艺术，艺术会随之演变，态度是谨慎乐观的。 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。 A map gives you certainty. You can hold it in your hands, follow its borders, and know exactly where it ends. A scientific theory tells a different story. ____16____ And that is precisely what makes science possible. Newton’s laws of motion are a perfect example. For more than two centuries, they explained the physical world with remarkable accuracy. ____17____ However, then came relativity and quantum mechanics (量子力学). They revealed that Newton’s laws of motion only apply on a specific scale: the slow-moving, everyday world. Newton was not wrong. His theory simply had a limited field of applicability. Within that field, it remains as reliable today as ever. ____18____ Instead, they are redefined. As our knowledge expands, we identify the conditions under which a theory applies and where it no longer does. The difficulty is that those boundaries cannot be predicted beforehand. A theory appears complete until an unexpected observation can no longer be explained by it. Here lies the paradox (悖论) of science. Every theory works until it doesn’t. What seems like a complete explanation today may simply be one that has not yet encountered the exception that challenges it. Every scientific breakthrough reveals a new truth. ____19____ People are naturally attracted to the dream of a single theory that explains everything. Yet that ideal is probably beyond our reach. ____20____ The willingness to acknowledge ignorance, welcome uncertainty, and accept the possibility of being wrong is what keeps science alive. A. Its boundaries are hidden. B. Each discovery leaves its mark. C. Great theories are rarely overthrown. D. It also reminds us that no theory is final. E. After all, every breakthrough began with creativity. F. Science advances because it remains open to revision. G. Many believed that the ultimate theory had been discovered. 【答案】16. A 17. G 18. C 19. D 20. F 【解析】 【导语】文章通过对比地图与科学理论，阐述了科学理论的边界具有隐蔽性，科学进步在于其始终对修正保持开放态度，而非追求一个解释一切的终极理论，这种对不确定性和自身错误的接纳正是科学得以持续发展的动力。 【16题详解】 上文“A scientific theory tells a different story.(科学理论讲述的是另一个故事。)”引出科学理论与地图的不同，下文“And that is precisely what makes science possible.(而这正是科学之所以可能的原因。)”说明这种不同使科学成为可能。A项“Its boundaries are hidden.(它的边界是隐藏的。)”中Its指代上文的scientific theory，说明理论的边界不像地图那样明确可见，与下文“正是这一点使科学成为可能”构成逻辑衔接——正因为边界隐藏，科学才需要不断探索和修正。 【17题详解】 上文“For more than two centuries, they explained the physical world with remarkable accuracy.(两个多世纪以来，它们以惊人的准确性解释了物理世界。)”说明牛顿定律长期被广泛认可，G项“Many believed that the ultimate theory had been discovered.(许多人相信终极理论已经被发现了。)”承接上文牛顿定律的巨大成功，人们因此认为物理学已臻完善。下文“However, then came relativity and quantum mechanics(然而，随后出现了相对论和量子力学)”用However转折，引出后来的挑战，与G项形成“曾被认为是终极→然而被超越”的逻辑。 【18题详解】 上文“Newton was not wrong. His theory simply had a limited field of applicability. Within that field, it remains as reliable today as ever.(牛顿没有错。他的理论只是有一个有限的适用范围。在这个范围内，它今天仍然一如既往地可靠。)”说明伟大理论不会被彻底推翻，下文“Instead, they are redefined.(相反，它们被重新定义。)”用Instead转折，说明理论不是被推翻而是被重新界定。C项“Great theories are rarely overthrown.(伟大的理论很少被推翻。)”承上启下，与下文“Instead, they are redefined”形成“不是被推翻，而是被重新定义”的对应关系。 【19题详解】 上文“Every scientific breakthrough reveals a new truth.(每一次科学突破都揭示了一个新的真理。)”说明突破揭示新真理，下文“People are naturally attracted to the dream of a single theory that explains everything.(人们自然会被一个解释一切的单一理论的梦想所吸引。)”引出人们对终极理论的追求。D项“It also reminds us that no theory is final.(它也提醒我们没有任何理论是最终的。)”中also与上文递进，It指代breakthrough reveals a new truth，说明每次突破也提醒我们理论并非终极，自然引出下文人们追求终极理论但可能无法实现的内容。 【20题详解】 上文“Yet that ideal is probably beyond our reach.(然而那个理想可能是我们无法企及的。)”说明终极理论难以实现，下文“The willingness to acknowledge ignorance, welcome uncertainty, and accept the possibility of being wrong is what keeps science alive.(承认无知、欢迎不确定性、接受犯错可能性的意愿，才是让科学保持活力的东西。)”说明科学保持活力的方式。F项“Science advances because it remains open to revision.(科学进步是因为它始终对修正保持开放。)”承上启下，既回应上文终极理论难以实现的原因——科学始终开放修正，又引出下文对不确定性的接纳。 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I used to spend years searching for passion. Everyone around me seemed so ____21____ of their direction, but I kept jumping from one to another, never able to ____22____. I went after every ____23____. One month, I thought writing was my calling. I started a novel, wrote fifty pages, but ____24____ them all. Later, I decided to become a ____25____. I eagerly tended every seed, but nothing came up. This pursuit ____26____ me like a cage. And I could barely ____27____ anything else. A good meal, a sunny afternoon, a laugh with friends — even these felt like ____28____ to me; they only got in the way. Searching for passion had become a ____29____, not a joy. Then one day, I was eating toast as sunlight filled the room. At that ____30____ moment, I felt it, the “plain passion”. I had thought passion had to be ____31____. But the truth was simpler. Actually, I had always been ____32____ — not in a grand way, but in small moments: the bread, the warmth, and a morning with no plan. I’ve never found my “passion.” Perhaps that word itself is the ____33____, too grand and too heavy. Life isn’t a ____34____ to reach the finish line, but a slow unfolding of many small moments. These moments pile up, ____35____, like coins in a jar (罐子) left in a dark corner. And one day you reach in and realize: I have enough. I’ve always had enough. 21. A. convinced  B. respectful  C. protective  D. considerate 22. A. turn back  B. slow up  C. settle down  D. step out 23. A. reward  B. possibility  C. speech  D. expectation 24. A. deleted  B. revised  C. forgot  D. published 25. A. sorter  B. designer  C. researcher  D. gardener 26. A. surrounded  B. pressed  C. trapped  D. followed 27.

A. answer  B. mindset  C. problem  D. framework 34. A. mirror  B. race  C. novel  D. show 35. A. unchanged  B. unrecorded  C. unwanted  D. unnoticed 【答案】21. A 22. C 23. B 24. A 25. D 26. C 27. B 28. D 29. A 30. C 31. D 32. A 33. C 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述作者苦苦追寻宏大的热爱却屡屡受挫，后来在平凡日常里领悟到热爱藏在细碎瞬间，不必执着于寻找一个宏大的人生热情。 【21题详解】 考查形容词。句意：身边每个人似乎都十分确定自己的方向，而我不断从一个目标跳到另一个，始终无法安定下来。A. convinced确信的；B. respectful恭敬的；C. protective保护的；D. considerate体贴的。根据下文“but I kept jumping from one to another,”可知，此处表示转折对比，作者反复更换方向，而作者身边的人清楚自己的方向。 【22题详解】 考查动词短语。句意同上。A. turn back返回；B. slow up放缓；C. settle down安定，专注；D. step out外出。根据上文“I used to spend years searching for passion.”以及“but I kept jumping from one to another,”可知，作者反复更换方向，说明作者无法稳定专注于一件事。 【23题详解】 考查名词。句意：我追逐每一种可能性。A. reward回报；B. possibility可能性；C. speech演讲；D. expectation期待。根据下文“One month, I thought writing was my calling.”以及“Later, I decided to become a ____. I eagerly tended every seed, but nothing came up.”可知，作者先后尝试写作、种植，去尝试每一种可能成为热爱的事情的可能性。 【24题详解】 考查动词。句意：我开始写小说，写了五十页，但全部删掉了。A. deleted删除；B. revised修改；C. forgot忘记；D. published出版。根据下文“Later, I decided to become a ____. I eagerly tended every seed, but nothing came up.”可知，作者再次更换了目标，所以此处表示作者的这次写作尝试没有坚持下去，删掉稿件。 【25题详解】 考查名词。句意：后来，我决定当一名园丁。A. sorter分类员；B. designer设计师；C. researcher研究者；D. gardener园丁。根据下文“I eagerly tended every seed, but nothing came up.”可知，作者照料种子，所以此处表示作者决定当园丁。 【26题详解】 考查动词。句意：这种追寻像牢笼一样困住了我。A. surrounded包围；B. pressed按压；C. trapped困住；D. followed跟随。根据下文“me like a cage. And I could barely ____ anything else.”可知，作者无法做其他事情，被困住。 【27题详解】 考查动词。句意：我几乎无法享受其他任何事物。A. predict预测；B. enjoy享受；C. recognize认出；D. request要求。根据下文“A good meal, a sunny afternoon, a laugh with friends — even these felt like ____ to me; they only got in the way.”可知，这些美好小事都妨碍自己追寻热爱，所以此处表示作者几乎没法儿享受它们。 【28题详解】 考查名词。句意：一顿美食、一个晴朗午后、和朋友欢笑，这些对我来说都像是干扰；它们只会碍事。A. favors恩惠；B. failures失败；C. necessities必需品；D. disturbances干扰。根据下文“they only got in the way”可知，它们只会碍事，对作者来说是干扰。 【29题详解】 考查名词。句意：寻找热爱已经成为一种负担，而不是一件乐事。A. load负担；B. test测试；C. trend趋势；D. puzzle谜题。根据上文“This pursuit ____ me like a cage.”可知，作者追寻热爱使得作者被困住，无法享受生活，这件事不再快乐，变成负担。 【30题详解】 考查形容词。句意：就在这个平凡的瞬间，我感受到了这份“朴素的热爱”。A. heated热烈的；B. hopeful充满希望的；C. ordinary平凡的；D. critical关键的。根据上文“Then one day, I was eating toast as sunlight filled the room.”可知，吃吐司这样的场景，是平凡的瞬间。 【31题详解】 考查形容词。句意：我曾经以为热爱必须是定义人生的大事。A. well-planned精心规划的；B. perfectly-timed时机刚好的；C. heart-warming暖心的；D. life-defining定义人生的。根据下文“But the truth was simpler. Actually, I had always been ____ — not in a grand way, but in small moments: the bread, the warmth, and a morning with no plan.”可知，作者从前以为热爱是宏大、足以定义人生的，实际热爱是简单的、在很小的时刻的。 【32题详解】 考查形容词。句意：事实上，我一直都满怀热爱——不是宏大的形式，而是藏在微小瞬间里：面包、暖意、没有计划的清晨。A. passionate满怀热爱的；B. confident自信的；C. optimistic乐观的；D. generous慷慨的。根据上文“I had thought passion had to be ____. But the truth was simpler.”可知，此处表示作者一直满怀热爱。 【33题详解】 考查名词。句意：或许这个词本身就是问题，它太过宏大、太过沉重。A. answer答案；B. mindset思维模式；C. problem问题；D. framework框架。根据下文“too grand and too heavy.”可知，“热爱”太过宏大、太过沉重，给人沉重的束缚，所以这个词本身就是问题所在。 【34题详解】 考查名词。句意：生活不是一场冲向终点线的赛跑，而是无数微小时刻慢慢铺展。A. mirror镜子；B. race赛跑；C. novel小说；D. show演出。根据下文“to reach the finish line”以及常识可知，到达终点线对应的赛跑，此处表示冲向终点线的赛跑。 【35题详解】 考查形容词。句意：这些瞬间不断累积，不被留意，就像被放在黑暗角落罐子里的硬币。某天你伸手进去，才发现：我已经足够了，一直都足够。A. unchanged不变的；B. unrecorded未被记录的；C. unwanted不想要的；D. unnoticed不被留意的。根据下文“like coins in a jar (罐子) left in a dark corner”可知，此处将这些时刻比作黑暗的角落里罐子里的硬币，说明这些细碎时刻在默默积攒、不被留意。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The Songhua inkstone is a distinctive type of inkstone, one of China’s Four Treasures of the Study. Made from Songhua stone, it is smooth enough on the surface ____36____ (generate) the ink, yet suitably rough for grinding (磨) ink sticks ____37____ wearing down the brush. In Qiaotou, Liaoning Province, making Songhua inkstones ____38____ (keep) alive for centuries. By the Ming Dynasty, local craftsmen had already made Songhua inkstones for their own use. The craft reached its peak during the Qing Dynasty, when Emperor Kangxi established a royal workshop ____39____ produced these inkstones for the court. This craft follows the principle of “the beauty of balance and harmony.” A craftsman selects a pure stone, then carves and polishes it according to its natural patterns — a process that can take months, ____40____ (transform) raw stone into a delicate work of art. Beyond its artistic appeal, a fine inkstone should also meet ____41____ (practice) standards.

The numbers didn’t lie. The old Maple Street neighborhood had only one-quarter the commercial efficiency of the new downtown district. Its buildings looked worn and outdated. The solution was clear: full demolition (拆除), followed by a large commercial complex. At the city council public hearing, the young city planning director presented his plan confidently. First came the data comparing foot traffic and showing sales in each area. Next, he stopped for a while, letting the new restaurant design sink in. The flagship restaurant featured clean white walls decorated with uniform artwork. There was an open kitchen, self-service ordering machines, and a separate area for takeout food. Every part of the space was designed to be as efficient as possible. Then came the public comment period. Maggie, the owner of Harbor Diner, which had been there for 28 years, spoke about how these family-run shops held the community together. Several other shop owners spoke after her, saying much the same thing — memories, emotions, and community bonds. Miles listened politely, but his opinion remained unchanged. He thought they were just afraid of change. As required by regulations, the planning department had to conduct a site visit. Miles chose an ordinary Wednesday afternoon and went to Harbor Diner. Barely five minutes after he sat down, a man in work boots pushed through the door. Before he could say a word, Maggie called toward the kitchen, “Bacon cheeseburger, chili fries, black coffee!” The man smiled, nodded, and headed straight for his regular seat. He moved as naturally as if he were walking into his own dining room. Miles looked around, his eyes moving slowly across the wall. There were yellowed photos of the Maple Street Little League team from twenty years ago, the players smiling proudly behind a trophy (奖杯). There was also a poster for a lost orange cat. And a handwritten note said, “Mrs. Henderson’s piano Lessons. Beginners welcome.” 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右。 （2）请按如下格式作答。 Back in his office, something began to shift in his mind. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two months later, Miles presented his new plan in the same city council room. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Back in his office, something began to shift in his mind. He thought about the warm diner that connected all the local people, which simple numbers could never describe. He realized that a community is not only about commercial efficiency, but also about sweet memories and close ties. Those old shops were the heart of Maple Street, and he understood that what he cared about before was far from enough. Every photo and note on the diner’s walls told a story of local life. He decided to make a new plan that would keep the old neighborhood alive. Two months later, Miles presented his new plan in the same city council room. He suggested that they fix the old buildings instead of pulling them down. Some small new shops would be added nearby, but the family-run businesses like Harbor Diner could stay. He told everyone that a good city should hold both progress and its warm community spirit. He hoped his plan could balance development and people’s feelings. Most people at the meeting smiled happily and agreed with his idea. 【解析】 【导语】本文以城市规划师迈尔斯的改造计划为线索展开。他认定枫树街老旧低效，计划全街拆除建商业综合体，在听证会上遭老店店主集体反对，他仍不为所动，直到按规定走访当地老店，才亲眼看见这里承载的鲜活社区记忆。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句可知，第一段可以描写迈尔斯回到办公室后的心理变化，回想餐厅里温暖的场景，反思自己之前只看重商业效益，下定决心修改方案。 ②由第二段首句可知，第二段可以描写迈尔斯在议会展示新方案，说明方案内容，表达兼顾发展与社区温情的想法，最后写大家认可这个方案。 2.续写线索：迈尔斯内心想法转变——反思数字之外的社区价值——决定制定新方案——准备新方案——向议会展示新方案——方案获得大家认同 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①思考：think about/reflect on/consider ②决定：decide/make up one’s mind/resolve 情绪类 ①温暖的：warm/cozy/heartwarming ②快乐地：happily/delightedly 【点睛】【高分句型1】Those old shops were the heart of Maple Street, and he understood that what he cared about before was far from enough.
