B 【解析】根据第二段 “This ‘unlocks’ the donations of the private sponsors who fund the program — raise rice and you raise money. The funds then go to support The World Food Programme (WFP)’s work in emergencies” 可知，玩家答题积累虚拟米粒、填满虚拟碗只是触发条件，GoRice 真正帮助 WFP 的方式是解锁赞助商的捐款，筹得资金用于世界粮食计划署的应急工作。A 项只是玩家的表面操作，并非资助 WFP 的途径；C 项错误，捐款来自赞助商而非玩家；D 项错误，应急物资发放是 WFP 的工作，并非 GoRice 所为。故选 B。 22. D 【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段 “New content areas cover Women Leaders, Foods of the World and Pop Culture. These are the contributions of volunteers who include educational influencers, academics and GoRice fans.” 可知，志愿者可以为本项目提供新的内容板块。A 项错误，分类面向所有年龄段，并非仅针对青少年；B 项错误，英语词汇是原有热门板块，不属于新增内容；C 项无原文依据。故选 D。 23. A 【解析】主旨大意题。文章介绍公益项目 GoRice 的设立宗旨、运行模式、题库分类、平台新增功能以及面向学校的配套教学资源，旨在介绍这一非营利项目。B、C 两项均为局部信息，并非写作目的；D 项，WFP 只是资金受助方，不是文章介绍主体。故选 A。 B 【语篇导读】本文介绍了一位神秘的法国街头艺术家“Invader”及其遍布全球的马赛克艺术品，并详细说明了配套的“FlashInvaders”手机游戏如何通过将艺术像素化，引导玩家在现实生活中探索城市，探索生活。 24. B 考查技能： 段落功能/写作意图推断（识别引入手法）。 定位第一段。作者先描述游客“往下看（looks down）”，紧接着用转折词 Yet 引出“懂行的人往上看（gaze upwards）”，去看的不是城市，而是“a mosaic（马赛克）”。这种先抑后扬、制造反差的写作手法，正是为了引出本文的主角——Invader 的艺术作品。 25. C考查技能： 细节信息的归纳与逻辑推断（通过列举看本质）。 定位第二段。原文列举了“over 80 cities”、“Hollywood sign”、“bottom of the ocean”以及“International Space Station”。从城市到高山，再到海底甚至太空，这些跨度极大的地点列举，其共同指向的结论就是作品“分布极其广泛（widely distributed）”。 26. A考查技能： 句际逻辑分析（理解事物在上下文中的多重功能）。 定位第四段。原文提到“pixel（像素）”有两个作用：一是“makes the mosaics look like digital images”（让作品呈现图像艺术感）；二是“can be scanned on a phone... to play FlashInvaders”（让人能用手机扫描进行游戏互动）。这两句话共同支撑了A选项的结论：将艺术（art）与互动（interaction）融合。 27. D 考查技能： 段落主旨概括与对比逻辑理解。 最后一段将常见手机游戏“让人死盯屏幕”与这款 App“教你关注周围世界”进行对比，强调它鼓励人们观察环境、探索现实世界。D 项“Encouragement of real-world exploration”准确概括了这一主旨。A、B、C 均无原文依据或概括不全。故选 D。 C 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了关于人类早期语言形式的最新研究，指出早期语言可能仅依赖“动词-名词”配对（如catch fish）进行交流。 28. D 细节理解题 根据第一段中“the earliest form of language used simple verb-noun pairings like ‘catch fish’ or ‘throw spear’.”（最早的语言形式使用简单的动词-名词配对，如catch fish或 throw spear）可知，早期语言的特征就是动词-名词配对。A 项“时态标记”、B 项“主谓结构”、C 项“完整句子”均与原文“no tense markers, no clear subjects or objects”相悖。故选 D。 29. B 词义猜测题 根据第二段划线词所在句In“pickpocket,” we cannot be sure who is doing the action. That ambiguity reflects an earlier stage of language”（在 pickpocket 中，不确定是谁在做这个动作。这种______反映了更早期的语言阶段），B 项“Lack of clearness”（缺乏清晰性）是对“we cannot be sure”的同义转述。 30. A 主旨大意题 根据第三段内容可知，该段先指出早期词语组合“expanded what language could do”（拓展了语言的功能），接着说明通过组合具体词汇，人们可以表达抽象概念，又以“time flies”为例说明词语组合能将字面意义延伸为隐喻，最后指出同样的机制还能解释幽默的产生。全段围绕“词语组合”这一核心，阐述其带来的多重作用——表达抽象思想、创造隐喻、产生幽默，故选 A。B、C、D 三项均只对应段中一个例子或一个方面，以偏概全。 31. C 推理判断题 最后一段指出，这些简单的双词结构逐渐成为复杂语法的基础；即使语言变得更加复杂，这些早期“积木”也从未消失，仍隐藏在现代语言中。全段强调的是早期语言结构对语言发展的基础性作用和持续至今的影响，故选 C。A 项“解释复杂语法的发展”只对应段首一句，概括不全，且文中并未强调“发展”本身是整段重点；B 项“为研究提供进一步证据”在段中无依据；D项“挑战先前关于语言演变的观点”与文意不符，最后一段并没有反驳旧观点。 D 【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍认知耐力可以通过训练得到提升，日常持续专注的活动有助于培养认知耐力。 32．C 细节理解题。根据第二段 “Notably, the decline was greater among students who typically spend their school days in passive activities such as listening to lectures and copying from the board. Those who did more silent reading or worked through problems on their own—activities that demand sustained, independent focus—showed less decline.(值得注意的是，日常进行听课、抄板书这类被动学习活动的学生，成绩下滑幅度更大；而那些经常默读、独立解题，也就是进行需要持续独立专注活动的学生，下滑幅度更小)” 可知，不同的日常学习活动对学生的认知耐力产生不同影响。故选 C。 33．D 细节理解题。根据第三段 “Both programs adapted to each student’s level, keeping the tasks challenging.(这两套训练项目都适配每个学生的水平，保证任务具有挑战性)” 可知，实验组的任务是根据学生个人水平量身设计的。故选 D。 34．A 推理判断题。根据第四段 “It made little difference whether they had practiced math or played puzzles: the benefits were nearly identical. What mattered was sustained concentration rather than the specific content of the activity. (练习数学题还是玩拼图差别不大，两者带来的效果几乎相同。重要的是持续专注本身，而非这项活动的具体内容)” 可知，专注这一行为本身比活动内容更加重要。故选 A。B错误，全文只提到训练都是每天 20 分钟，没有对比不同时长的效果，不存在 “练习时长决定结果”。无中生有。C错误，原文the benefits were nearly identical，数学题和拼图游戏效果几乎相同，不存在数学题效果更好。正反混淆。D错误，非学术类益智游戏（拼图、七巧板）恰恰提升认知耐力，而不是造成精神疲惫，正反颠倒。 35．D 主旨大意题。根据最后一段 “Cognitive endurance is not fixed. Like physical fitness, it may be built through activities such as reading, puzzles or playing a musical instrument, as long as they require sustained, focused mental effort.(认知耐力不是一成不变的。就像体能一样，可以通过阅读、拼图、演奏乐器等活动来培养，只要这些活动需要持续、专注的脑力投入)” 可知，想要提升认知耐力，可以进行需要持久专注的活动。故选 D。C 错误（强干扰项）原文只是说短视频容易造成注意力频繁切换，但并没有提出建议要避开短视频，选项属于过度推断，主观加码。 第二节 36．E 37．D 38．F 39．G 40．B 【语篇导读】伦敦国王学院一项 2025 年注意力研究发现，近半数英国民众存在 “爆米花大脑” 现象：注意力碎片化、思绪容易飘忽游离。文章介绍心理学家 Tina Chummun 提出的四种改善注意力涣散的实用方法，帮助人们平复纷乱思绪，重新找回专注力。 36. E前文提到49% of the UK public 有popcorn brain，They指代the UK public，继续描述这类人的感受，承接上文解释“爆米花大脑”的表现。排除A：后文直接介绍解决办法，没有探讨成因。 37. D本段是思维导图的操作流程：写下所有事情 → 分类整理 → Then（然后）判断事情优先级。 D句Then体现动作顺承；区分轻重缓急，对应后文This creates order（建立秩序）。 38. F前面描述一套3秒觉察练习：呼吸、识别感受、重新把注意力拉回。 This practice指代前面整套操作；manage emotions对应原文name what you’re feeling，slow down呼应后文turn down the heat when your brain is working overtime（缓解大脑过载）。 39. G长时间无屏幕+短时屏幕奖励，不是一刀切完全禁止电子产品。 It指代这套奖惩机制；tolerate stillness without feeling tortured or depressed 完美解释了这种模式让大脑适应安静，不会因为强行断网而产生受折磨和觉得沮丧的抵触感。 40. B段首主旨句。后文核心：无音乐散步、静坐观察思绪、让大脑休息。 Allow space…for doing nothing概括本段核心——给大脑留白休息。后文feel bored对应：爆米花大脑习惯不停运转，一旦无事可做就感到无聊。排除C：C核心是主动对抗干扰、培养专注力（训练模式）。本段不是训练专注，而是让大脑休息回血，话题不符。 英语知识运用 第一节 完形填空 41. B 42. A 43. C 44. A 45. B 46. D 47. C 48. D 49. C 50. A 51. D 52. B 53. D 54. C 55. B 【语篇导读】文章讲述教师面对AI写作作弊的教育转变，摒弃硬性禁令，主张合理规范AI工具，坚守培养学生独立思辨能力这一教育核心。 41. B考查动词词义辨析。句意:这名学生把聊天机器人生成的内容当作自己的作业上交，我一开始无法接受这件事。A.expose揭发、使曝光; B.accept接受，侧重内心接纳、认可某件事，贴合教师最初难以认同学生AI代写行为的心理; C.resist抵抗、抗拒; D.emphasize强调，语义与原文场景完全无关。 42. A考查形容词词义辨析，修饰experience。句意:事实上，近二十年来，我接触早期人工智能技术有着颇有价值的经历。A.rewarding有益的、收获颇丰的，rewarding experience有价值的经历; B.embarrassing令人尴尬的，后文无任何尴尬经历的情节铺垫; C.disturbing令人不安的，与后文“用AI简化人们生活”的正面叙述相悖; D.touching感人的，无法形容研究、使用AI的从业经历。后文说明作者长期运用AI优化生活，证明多年接触AI的经历是有益、有收获的。故选A。 43. C 考查动词固定搭配辨析。句意:但如今在课堂上，我一直推行严格禁止使用人工智能的规定。A.abandoned放弃、废除，语义和后文“no-AI政策”完全相反; B.revised修改、修订，文中无调整政策的相关描述; C.maintained坚持推行、维持，maintain a policy表示长期执行某项制度; D.examined检查、审查。此处But构成前后对比，作者线下教学中长期坚持一刀切禁用AI的管理规则。故选C。 44. A考查动词词义辨析。句意:就在这个两难时刻，这个我原本打算给予不及格处分的学生走进了我的办公室。A.fail使(学生)不及格、判定不合格(正确选项)，呼应首句disqualify取消资格; B.employ雇佣，语义与师生校园场景无关; C.recommend推荐，情感倾向完全相反; D.abuse滥用，主语只能是人、工具，不能搭配学生。开篇waiting to disqualify a student 表明教师最初准备处罚学生，fail 对应取消成绩、判不及格的处置方式。故选A。 45. B考查动词词义辨析。句意:他没有隐瞒自己的错误，反而吐露了内心的焦虑。A. swallowed吞下，咽下; B.admitted坦言、倾诉(正确选项)，指主动说出内心不安与担忧;C. masked: 掩饰、掩盖，与前文 didn’t hide his mistake 语义对立; D. fueled 加剧(情绪), 无法体现学生主动倾诉的动作。but表转折，学生没有遮掩过错，主动向老师说出心中的顾虑。故选B。 46. D考查形容词搭配。句意:他声称掌握这些生成式人工智能工具对他未来的职业生涯至关重要。A.risky有风险的，语义反向，不符合学生认可AI价值的立场; B.available可使用的，仅描述工具属性，无法表达“对职业重要”; C.responsible:有责任的; D.essential至关重要的，be essential for为标准固定搭配。学生使用AI并非单纯偷懒，而是认定AI技能是未来职业发展必不可少的能力。故选D。 47. C考查非谓语动词辨析。句意:我们聊得越多，我越在他身上看到我自己的顾虑被映照出来。A.ignored，被忽略; B.deepened，被加深; C.mirrored映照、呼应，see doubts mirrored in him 指两人内心的困惑高度重合、互相映照; D.preserved被保留。深入沟通后教师意识到自己和学生有着相同的困惑，mirror体现想法的重合共鸣。故选C。 48. D考查动词熟词生义。句意:我意识到，与其筑起更高的隔阂壁垒，不如消除这些阻隔。A.paint粉刷，仅修饰实体墙壁，无法表示抽象心理隔阂; B.fence用栅栏围起，等同于搭建壁垒，语义相反; C. strengthen加高墙，与build higher walls同向; D. remove 消除、撤除, remove walls打破隔阂壁垒，与前文筑墙形成反向对比。instead of否定隔绝AI的强硬管理模式，主张消除人与AI之间的对立隔阂。故选D。 49. C考查原词复现。句意:从那以后，我和学生签订了一份人工智能使用公约。A.application申请书; B.license官方授权执照，不符合师生自制约定的语境; C.contract公约、书面约定，sign a contract with sb 与某人签订协议，后文The agreement 同义复现提示答案; D.proposal提议、草案，一般是讨论提案，并非用来约束双方的正式约定。后文反复提及双方达成的AI使用约定，contract契合师生共同签署书面规则的场景。故选C。 50. A考查形容词词义辨析。句意:这份约定明确规定，独立分析思考必须依靠人类自主完成。A.human人类自主的、人为完成的(正确选项)，与机器AI生成形成对立，贴合全文核心立意; B.artificial人造的（与自然生成的相对）; C.precise精准的，仅形容内容严谨，不突出“人主导而非AI”; D.automatic自动的，和文章“抵制AI代写、坚持独立思考”主旨无关。全文核心观点为区分机器生成内容与人类独立思辨，规定分析过程必须体现人的思想。故选A。 51. D考查形容词。句意:我把书面报告缩短至两页，并且将学生成绩更多依托批判性讨论来评定。A.formal 正式的，规范的; B.heated 热烈的，不符合教学评价场景; C.brief简短的，范围宽泛，无法突出独立思考、辨析观点; D.critical批判性的，critical discussions批判性讨论，对应文末 critical thinking核心关键词。文章全程强调培养学生批判性思维，课堂讨论以思辨辨析为核心考核标准。故选D。 52. B考查动词词义辨析。句意:这让我能够探究他们的思考过程，并针对他们的判断提出质疑。A.skip:跳过、忽略，语义与教师教学目的完全相反; B.examine检查，探究，指深入了解学生的思考逻辑；C.interrupt打断，破坏课堂引导学生思考的逻辑;D. control:操控，教师并非控制学生思路，而是探究、引导思路。思辨类口头讨论能够完整展现学生思考脉络，教师可以深入探究其思维过程。故选 B。 53.

Originally起初，表时间开端，不用于总结制度带来的多重益处; B.Regretfully遗憾地，无法衔接上下文逻辑; C.Fortunately幸运地是; D.Ultimately归根结底、总而言之，用于递进总结AI公约带来的多重积极影响。上文介绍调整考核形式的具体做法，下文继续延伸这项制度更多的育人价值，此处用Ultimately进行递进总结。故选D。 54. C考查动词。句意:简短报告迫使学生整合梳理自己所学知识，严谨的论述训练也提升了他们的论证能力。A.expand 拓展; B.review 复习; C. integrate 整合、融汇，integrate knowledge整合知识; D.share分享。篇幅有限的短报告无法照搬AI生成的长篇内容，学生需要自主融汇各类知识完成写作。故选C。 55. B考查名词词义辨析。句意:身处机器可以代劳思考的时代，我们教师真正的职责，是想办法引导学生投入痛苦却必不可少的批判性思维训练。A.pressure压力，后文是老师的职责，不是一种压力; B.duty职责、本分，特指行业与生俱来的责任; C. identity身份，仅代表人物定位，无法概括核心工作任务; D. expectation期待，多指外界对教师的要求，并非教师自身使命。语境分析:文章升华全文教育主旨，点明人工智能时代教师不可被机器替代的核心本职。故选B。 第二节 语法填空 56. snaking. 考查非谓语动词。find waiting lines ______ outside shops，此处为“find + 宾语 + 宾语补足语”结构. waiting lines 与 snake（蜿蜒排开）之间是主动关系，且强调动作正在进行，故用现在分词 snaking 作宾补。（snake 此处作动词，意为“蜿蜒行进、排成长队”。） 57. labels. 考查名词单复数。fashion labels（时尚品牌）与后面的 toy stores 并列，指多个品牌，且 label 是可数名词，故用复数形式 labels。 58. recognised/recognized. 考查非谓语动词作定语。globally ______ consumer brands 中，consumer brands 与 recognise 之间是被动关系（“被全球认可的品牌”），故用过去分词 recognised//recognized 作前置定语。 59. competition. 考查词性转换。intense 是形容词，后接名词，故将动词 compete 变为名词 competition。competition 此处为不可数名词，表示“竞争”，不加 -s。 60. has been. 考查时态。时间状语 for decades（几十年来）常与现在完成时连用，表示从过去持续到现在的状态；主语 China 为单数，故填 has been。 61. like. 考查介词。空格处需要一个介词，表示“像名创优品这样的公司”，即“以 Miniso 为例的公司”，故填 like（意为“像……这样的”，“例如”）。 62. which. 考查定语从句。The chain store, ______ sells toys and movie products 为非限制性定语从句，先行词 The chain store 指物，从句中缺少主语，故用关系代词 which。 63. electric. 考查词性转换。______ vehicle maker 中，需要一个形容词修饰 vehicle（电动汽车）。electric vehicle 意为“电动汽车”，故将名词 electricity 变为形容词 electric。（注意：electrical 意为“与电有关的”，electric 意为“用电的、电动的”，此处指电动汽车。） 64. to build. 考查非谓语动词作目的状语。as an effort ______ (build) an ecosystem 中，表示“为了建立……生态系统”，用动词不定式 to build 作目的状语。（也可理解为 effort to do sth. 的固定结构。） 65. whether. 考查名词性从句。the question is no longer ______ they can compete on the world stage but how far their influence will spread 中，空格处引导表语从句，与后面的 but how far... 构成“whether... or...”式的对比，表示“他们是否能在世界舞台上竞争已不再是问题，问题在于其影响力能传播多远”，故填 whether。 第三节 课文填空 66. a lifelong job 67. set the poem aside 68. is representative of 69. are committed to 70. are tailored to 应用文写作 一、 命题目的 考查应用文体裁：要求以校英文报报道的形式写作，考查新闻通讯类应用文的格式、客观陈述的语气以及一般过去时的准确运用。考查信息整合与扩写能力：在规定篇幅内，精准涵盖活动内容和活动反响两大核心要点，并能合理补充细节。 考查主题切合度：题目主题为“Poetry and Me”（诗歌与我）。命题不仅考查写事，更考查学生能否建立诗歌与自我的情感联结。如果只写大家朗诵了诗歌，则未点透主题；必须体现出诗歌对学生个人的影响、共鸣或自我表达。 二、 写作结构 文章建议采用三段式结构： 第一段：导语—— 交代背景，点明主题 内容：时间（Last Friday）、地点、事件（a poetry sharing event）、主题（themed "Poetry and Me"）。开门见山，完成新闻报道的基本要素交代。 第二段：主体—— 描述活动内容，紧扣“Me” 详细描写活动的内容过程，对具体的活动进行举例，避免泛泛而谈。同时本段活动要与主题"Poetry and Me"呼应：全文必须有至少一处明确把诗歌与个人的体验、情感或成长绑定在一起，例如分享了自己喜欢的诗、解释了这些诗对自己的意义、或者朗读了自己创作的诗歌，绝不能写成纯粹的诗歌赏析会。 第三段：结尾—— 说明反响，升华主题 活动反响涵盖好评/收获/启发，描述活动的积极影响。除了写活动受欢迎was highly spoken of，更要写出内心的收获，如找到了情感共鸣found resonance、激发了创造力、以诗歌为媒介表达自我等。首尾呼应，再次扣住主题，使报道有深度。 范文一 A Poetry Sharing Event at Our School Last Friday, our school held a poetry sharing event themed “Poetry and Me” in the school hall, drawing a large crowd of students and teachers. The event began with a recitation of classic poems. Following that, several students shared their favorite verses. They vividly analyzed how the poets used imagery and metaphors to express emotions, and shared personal stories of how poetry helped them through tough times. “Every time I feel lost”, Mike, a participant, said, “Robert Frost’s The Road Not Taken encourages me.” The event received an overwhelmingly positive response. It deepened students’ appreciation for literature and inspired them to express their inner feelings. Everyone is looking forward to the next event. 范文二 A Poetry Sharing Event at Our School Last Friday, our school held a poetry sharing event themed “Poetry and Me”, attracting over a hundred students and teachers. The event opened with a recitation of Maya Angelou’s Caged Bird, followed by students sharing what poetry means to them. Li Ming related to Su Shi’s Ding Feng Bo, explaining how the poet's philosophy of facing life's hardships inspired him to stay optimistic. Another student reflected on Frost's The Road Not Taken, pointing out how its metaphor guided her through personal choices. Many students said the event made them realize that poetry is alive in daily experience rather than just text on a page. The school plans to make it an annual tradition. 读后续写： 导读： 喜欢拍搞笑视频的Leo将同学Ethan比赛失利的尴尬瞬间发到网上博取流量，导致Ethan遭受网络暴力而不敢上学。在老师的严厉教育下，Leo深感愧疚，不仅公开道歉还亲自登门致歉，用长期的真诚弥补过错，最终懂得了在社交媒体时代尊重他人与谨言慎行的重要性。 一、文本分析 1. 角色 Leo： 十六岁，喜欢逗人笑，喜欢拍视频博取关注，缺乏边界感（把别人的尴尬当笑话），但在得知真相后能感到内疚、有勇气认错并反思成长的学生。 Ms. Carter： 认真负责、敏锐、善于引导的教育者，及时指出Leo的错误并让他认识到后果。 Ethan： 无辜的受害者，因比赛失利被嘲笑，遭受网络暴力和心理压力，内心受伤、羞愧，需要时间恢复。 2. 视角： 第三人称（全知视角，主要跟随Leo的心理活动） 3. 情节线 学校篮球决赛，Ethan投丢关键球→Leo出于取乐将其拍下并配以嘲讽文字发到学校论坛→视频爆火，Leo沉浸在被关注的虚荣中，无视负面评论→周一Ethan缺席，Leo内心隐隐不安但仍自我安慰“只是开玩笑”→（续写）老师Ms. Carter把Leo叫出教室，严肃告知Ethan因遭到网络嘲笑而羞于上学→Leo深感愧疚，意识到所谓“玩笑”造成的真实伤害→（续写）Leo删帖、公开道歉，并亲自登门向Ethan致歉，用长期的真诚行动弥补过错，最终深刻反思了网络时代言行的责任。 4. 情感线 Leo： excited/proud（发布视频后）→ indifferent（无视评论）→ puzzled/uncomfortable（周一没看到Ethan）→ guilty/ashamed（老师告知真相后）→ determined（决定弥补）→ apologetic/sincere（登门道歉）→ mature/reflective（最终反思成长） 5. 本文主题 个人成长与网络道德类：在社交媒体时代，言行需谨慎，不能把自己的快乐建立在别人的痛苦之上（不要把别人的尴尬当玩笑）；真正的成长在于勇敢直面错误、承担责任，并学会尊重与共情他人。 二、情节构造 Paragraph 1: Then Ms. Carter came over to him. 衔接句 1—— What did Ms. Carter tell Leo about Ethan? How did Leo feel and react? 情节构思： 老师告知Ethan缺席的真相（视频导致Ethan被网暴、极度羞愧）→ Leo试图辩解只是开玩笑 → 老师严厉指出这并不好笑，造成了真实的伤害 → Leo的心理转变（羞愧、愧疚、意识到严重性）。 Paragraph 2: Leo decided he had to make things right. 衔接句 2—— How did Leo make amends? Did Ethan forgive him immediately? What did Leo learn from this? 情节构思： 采取实质性行动（删视频、网上公开道歉）→ 亲自登门道歉 → Ethan的反应（不会立刻原谅，需要时间）→ Leo的后续弥补（在训练和比赛中支持Ethan）→ 获得原谅与最终的感悟（网络言论的重量、尊重他人）。 范文 Then Ms. Carter came over to him. Noticing Leo’s confusion, she called him out to the hallway, looking far more serious than usual. She told Leo Ethan had seen the video. Tormented by teasing online comments, Ethan was filled with shame and self‑blame, too upset to attend school. Leo tried to explain that it was just for fun. “What you considered a joke has brought real pain to him,” Ms. Carter said firmly. Leo stood still, cheeks burning. His former excitement faded at once. The tightness in his chest turned into heavy guilt. It suddenly dawned on him what harm his thoughtless video had done. Leo decided he had to make things right. He deleted the post and issued an online apology, but it felt far from enough. After school, he went to Ethan’s house. When Ethan opened the door, Leo apologized at once. “Ethan, I’m really sorry. I shouldn’t have posted the video.” Ethan fell silent, admitting he had read the apology. “I need time,” he added, “but thanks for coming.” Leo nodded, aware trust could not be rebuilt overnight. Later, his consistent support during practices and games gradually earned Ethan’s forgiveness. Never again would Leo, in an age when social media gives every word power, act without thought or respect for others. 听力原文 Text 1 1. W: Hello, Jack. I was told that Mike is going to buy a new apartment, is that true? M: Mike? I doubt it. What he earns is just enough to put his body and soul together. Text 2 2. M: I’ve looked and looked, but I can’t seem to find this book. W: Well, I guess someone must have already checked it out. You can put in a reserve slip. M: A reserve slip? What should I do? Text 3 3. W: I’d like to check my luggage. Here is my ticket. M: All right, are you going to have any stops? W: Yes, I’m going to have a temporary stop in Singapore, but I want to check my things through to Australia. Text 4 4. W: Now let me take your temperature. Well... I’m afraid you’ve got a fever. M: Can I possibly take part in the sports meeting the day after tomorrow? W: I’m afraid not. You must stay home for one or two days. I’ll give you some medicine for it. Text 5 5. W: You know what, you can buy your textbooks already. M: Really? But I haven’t registered for the courses yet. W: Yes, but you can get the books as long as you’ve decided what courses you should take. Text 6 6-7. W: When are you moving out of your apartment, Jim? M: This Saturday, but my rent isn’t due yet. Do you know anyone who is interested? W: I am. I’ve just changed my job, and your apartment is close to my new office. M: Really? That’d be great. You will like it, as the balcony is spacious enough to accommodate seating, so you can enjoy the scenery comfortably, and there are many trees in the community providing environmental benefits to the area. That’s actually why I chose it in the first place. W: Sounds nice. How about the rent? I’m trying to stay with a $300 budget. M: It was $320 a month. But recently, the landlady has raised it by $30, is it okay? W: That’s a bit higher, but it’s worth the price. Text 7 8-10.M: Are you going to the career fair at school tomorrow? W: Yes, I can’t decide what career to follow. I thought about nursing, maybe even becoming a doctor, if my grades are good enough. But the thing that appeals to me most is teaching. M: Really? You surprise me. I did admire that teachers can broaden their knowledge and they adopt a mindset of continuous learning, but they have to meet lots of targets and deal with difficult students, which I wouldn’t like. W: It depends on your character. What job would you like to do after graduation, Howard? M: I thought of becoming a photographer. They seem to travel a lot. W: That’s a good idea, but it might be hard to succeed in it. Everyone takes pictures with their phones these days. M: Yeah, but you have to be very good to be a professional and I think I could manage it. Text 8 11-13. W: It was very nice of you to see me off. M: It’s my pleasure, Anna. I know you must be excited to go home after such a long business trip. You’ll keep in touch with me, won’t you? W: Of course. And I will miss you, and miss the tasty food, the friendly workmates who helped me pick up a lot of Chinese. It would have been perfect, except for the days of continuous rain in Shanghai. By the way, please let me know if your daughter needs any help while she’s studying in London. M: Will do, thanks a lot. Oh, I’d like to give you something to take home. Let me show you. W: This is beautiful. Chinese paper-cutting. What do these characters mean? M: They mean all the best. And the Chinese knot is for your parents. W: Thank you. Oh, it sounds like they’re boarding now. I have to go. M: Have a good trip. Anna, bye. Text 9 14-17. W: Martin, how do you like playing a superhero? M: Overall, It makes me proud, but it really bothered me to stay fit, and keeping the superhero face on is quite tiring too. Yet those challenges don’t even come close to the difficulty of chasing and fighting. You have to make concerted efforts to act as if it’s effortless. W: I heard you grew up in Canada. How was that? M: I have many family members there. I went to an international school. But the best thing was the fantastic countryside near my home. I spent most weekends camping in the forest, which was really great. W: So how did you get into acting? M: Well, at university, I studied literature, but never acted in any drama. After graduating, I worked as an assistant for a producer, working on a musical comedy. One night, an actor was ill and I was asked to play his part and it just went from there. W: What would you have done if you hadn’t become an actor? M: Well, both my parents devote themselves to educational careers, even so it hardly interested me. My older brother owns a company, and he said that I could have a job in his office. I guess that’s what I’d probably have done. Text 10 18-20. World Sleep Day was organized since 2008. It is held on March 21 every year. It aims to highlight the importance of good sleep and raise awareness of how sleep determines our everyday lives. Now, a world first study from the University of South Australia shows that increased physical activities during the day improve sleep quality and reduce tiredness, emphasizing the importance of exercise for a good night’s rest. The study found that children and adults with higher levels of moderate to vigorous physical activity have less troubled sleep and better sleep quality. In general, adults are thought to need at least eight hours of sleep a night, but a recent survey found that on work days, only 21% of them really get a full eight hours of sleep. For teenagers, a healthy amount is about eight to nine hours per night. However, 27% of people throughout the world have sleep problems. Now there are over 80 kinds of sleep disorders, and most people know little about their danger. So for our good life and work, it’s necessary for us to realize the importance of sleep and try to have a good sleep. 第 1 页 共 10 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $2026年下学期雅里中学高二期中考试英语听力部分。第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话读两遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Hello, jack.

After more than 10 years, GoRice is growing up. A Game with a Cause GoRice, a quiz game that raises rice grains for each correct answer, runs entirely on sponsorship and volunteer support, with no profit for its creators. In GoRice, players have to earn rice grains to fill a virtual bowl. This “unlocks” the donations of the private sponsors who fund the program — raise rice and you raise money. The funds then go to support The World Food Programme (WFP)’s work in emergencies — in countries impacted by conflict, climate disasters and rising prices. Categories for All Ages and Interests GoRice has more than 60 categories covering academic subjects, general knowledge, the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and more. The most popular categories are English Vocabulary and the Multiplication Table. New content areas cover Women Leaders, Foods of the World and Pop Culture. These are the contributions of volunteers who include educational influencers, academics and GoRice fans. Now there are even more ways to learn and give back. The new GoRice aims to provide young people with resources and ideas on how to become advocates in their communities. Visitors can read stories on the Blog and submit their own stories to be featured on the program. Some of the latest stories you’ll find on GoRice include: • How climate change is affecting our food systems • 5 tips on how to live a more sustainable life • How to incorporate more pulses into your diet • The power of corn Schools are one of GoRice’s biggest audiences, so the new program also offers printable materials for the classroom, including an A-Z ebook that introduces WFP’s work, a toolkit for using the game and certificates of participation to reward players for raising rice grains. 21. How does GoRice help support WFP? A. By filling up bowls of rice grains. B. By freeing up sponsors’ donations. C. By appealing to players to donate money. D. By handing out material aid in emergencies. 22. What can we know about GoRice’s categories? A. There are over 60 categories targeting teenagers. B. The new content includes English Vocabulary. C. The best-liked categories center on hunger relief. D. Volunteers can contribute new content areas. 23. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce a non-profit program. B. To attract people to submit stories. C. To persuade people to play games. D. To inform people of WFP’s work. B Standing at the top of the Eiffel Tower, almost everyone looks down. Tourists push their way to peer at Paris’s famous landmarks. Yet those in the know gaze upwards: they climb to the highest public platform to view not the metropolis, but a mosaic（马赛克）. Invader, the Frenchman behind the mosaic, is one of the most productive street artists in the world. He has planted more than 1,500 works across Paris alone. There are thousands more such “invasions” in over 80 cities around the world, from New York to Tokyo. His works have been attached to the Hollywood sign and a ski lift in the Swiss Alps; they lie at the bottom of the ocean near Cancún and orbit Earth in the International Space Station. Like any successful intruder and serious street artist, his identity is a secret. That hasn’t stopped him from gaining fans. If you know a child in a city that has been invaded, chances are you’ve heard of FlashInvaders, an app on which you score points for finding the mosaics. The game has more than 550,000 players. Invader uses the ancient practice of mosaic to create figures inspired by video games. Each piece acts as a “perfect pixel (像素)”, which makes the mosaics look like digital images. The pixels also mean the images can be scanned on a phone, a bit like a QR code, to play FlashInvaders. The aim of the game is not only to interact with fans, but also to spark curiosity and urban exploration. Searching for the mosaics takes you to parts of cities you wouldn’t normally see. The app stands out because it encourages people to “look at their environment in a different way”. Mobile games are often criticized for gluing people to their phones, but this one teaches you to take notice of the world around you. Whether on a little-known street or at the top of the Eiffel Tower, it’s always worth looking up. 24. Why does the author mention tourists looking down from the Eiffel Tower? A. To judge tourists’ behavior. B. To introduce an artwork. C. To describe a common sight. D. To explain the tower’s design. 25. What do the locations in paragraph 2 show about Invader’s works? A. They have varied patterns. B. They focus on landmarks. C. They are widely distributed. D. They stay within city streets. 26. What role do the “pixels” play in Invader’s art? A. They blend art with interaction. B. They make the mosaics hard to recognize. C. They imitate QR codes in appearance. D. They replace traditional painting methods. 27. What can the app contribute to according to the last paragraph? A. An escape from the digital world. B. A better understanding of architecture. C. Free access to museum artworks. D. Encouragement of real-world exploration. C Human may have communicated using just two words at a time before full sentences. According to new research published in PNAS Nexus, the earliest form of language used simple verb-noun pairings like “catch fish” or “throw spear.” There were no tense markers, no clear subjects or objects, just a concise way to express action. That simple structure was enough for early humans, for whom speed and clarity mattered more than precision. Traces of this early system still exist today. Linguists call them “living fossils” — words like “killjoy”, “pickpocket”, and “crybaby” combine a verb and a noun into a single compound word. What sets them apart is how loosely they follow modern grammar. In “pickpocket”, we cannot be sure who is doing the action. That ambiguity reflects an earlier stage of language, before grammar became fully structured. Similar patterns appear across languages, showing they are no mere accidents but echoes of an early way of building meaning. These early combinations extended far beyond mere action descriptions; they expanded what language could do. By pairing concrete words, people could express abstract ideas. A phrase like “time flies” stretches literal meaning into metaphor, opening the door to more complex thought. That same mechanism explains humor—unexpected word combinations create surprise, which is often the origin of humor. This early language also played a role in social competition. The ability to create clever, memorable combinations helped individuals gain social advantage. Quick, expressive language could establish status or challenge opponents. As one researcher put it, this reflected a kind of “survival of the sharpest”. Over time, these simple two-word structures became the foundation for more complex grammar. Even as language grew more complex, those early building blocks never disappeared. They remain hidden in modern speech—small but powerful traces of how human language began. 28. What characterized the earliest form of language? A. Time indicators B. Subject-verb structure C. Complete sentences D. Verb-noun combination 29. What does the underlined word “ambiguity” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Depth of meaning. B. Lack of clearness. C. Complexity of form D. Simplicity of rules. 30. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Power of word combinations B. Features of metaphors. C. Origin of abstract thought. D. Functions of humor. 31. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To explain the development of complex grammar. B. To provide further evidence for the research. C. To stress the lasting influence of early language structures. D. To challenge the previous views on language evolution. D Have you ever found your focus slipping halfway through a challenging exam? This kind of mental tiredness is common. Some researchers found evidence that the ability to sustain mental effort over time, known as “cognitive endurance (认知耐力),” may be trainable, like physical fitness. Just as athletes train to exercise for longer, students may strengthen their capacity for sustained thinking through practice. While analyzing test results worldwide, scientists noticed a consistent pattern: students performed worse on questions that appeared in the latter half of the exams, even after the difficulty of the questions was considered. Notably, the decline was greater among students who typically spend their school days in passive activities such as listening to lectures and copying from the board. Those who did more silent reading or worked through problems on their own—activities that demand sustained, independent focus — showed less decline. To find out how school shapes students’ cognitive endurance, the researchers ran an experiment with 1,636 elementary school students in India. During self-study periods, the students were randomly divided into three groups. The control group continued its usual routine, which involved minimal mental effort. One treatment group spent 20 minutes solving math problems on tablets, using a plain application without game features. The other played cognitively demanding games, such as puzzles and tangrams (七巧板), which contained no academic content. Both programs adapted to each student’s level, keeping the tasks challenging. The results were striking. In listening, reasoning and math assessments, the performance of trained students showed 22% less decline than that of the control group. It made little difference whether they had practiced math or played puzzles: the benefits were nearly identical. What mattered was sustained concentration rather than the specific content of the activity. The gains also spread beyond tests: teachers reported the trained students were less impatient and followed multistep instructions better, and their grades rose accordingly. The findings carry a hopeful message in an age when short-form media often encourages rapid shifts of attention. Cognitive endurance is not fixed. Like physical fitness, it may be built through activities such as reading, puzzles or playing a musical instrument, as long as they require sustained, focused mental effort. 32. What can be learned from the test results in Paragraph 2? A. Questions on tests in the latter half were more difficult. B. Physical strength determined students’ concentration. C. Daily learning activities affected cognitive endurance. D. Passive school activities lowered students’ test scores. 33. What can we learn about the design of the experiment? A. Participants were required to finish tasks in groups. B. Participants chose their preferred experimental tasks. C. Tasks of equal difficulty were assigned to all groups. D. Tasks for treatment groups were suited to students’ levels. 34. What was a key finding of the experiment? A. The act of focusing outweighs the content of tasks. B. The practice time determines the test results. C. Math problems build mental endurance better. D. Non-academic games lead to mental tiredness. 35. What do the findings suggest about improving cognitive endurance? A. Choosing academic tasks over games. B. Doing intensive physical workouts regularly. C. Avoiding daily exposure to short-form media. D. Doing activities requiring lasting concentration. 第二节（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。 According to a 2025 attention study by King’s College London, 49% of the UK public are experiencing “popcorn brain”, a mental state featuring divided attention and wandering thoughts. 36 In response to the findings, psychologist Tina Chummun gives her top tips. Adopt the mind map method. To manage a distracted mind, write down everything, like appointments, worries and to-dos, without organizing it initially. Once everything is on paper, group these into life areas like work or emotional well-being. 37 This creates order and gives your brain permission to concentrate. Every time you feel your thoughts wandering, give yourself three seconds — breathe in, name what you’re feeling, and redirect your focus. 38 By doing so, you may turn down the heat when your brain is working overtime. Minimizing tech is also the key to getting back on track in your daily life. A full digital withdrawal is unrealistic. Instead, go totally screen-free for 25-30 minutes. Then it could be followed by a five-minute screen time reward. 39 40 At first, you may feel bored, as popcorn brain likes being “go go go” to feel safe. “Go for a walk without music, or simply stare out your window”, suggests Tina. “Sit in silence and observe your thoughts. Let your brain breathe. It is sometimes exactly what your nervous system needs.” So, are you ready to quiet the mental popcorn and get your focus back? A. What’s making our brains like popcorn? B. Allow space in your day for doing nothing. C. Starving distractions and feeding focus is a nice idea. D. Then ask yourself: what matters now and what can wait? E. They find it harder to focus and engage in deep thinking. F. This practice enables you to slow down and manage emotions. G. It teaches your brain to tolerate stillness without feeling tortured or depressed. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共三节，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。 I sat in the heavy silence of my office, waiting to disqualify a student.
