(为了将青少年与海洋联系起来，Bow Seat发起了以“你的故事，我们的海洋”为主题的2026年海洋意识竞赛)”可知，该竞赛的目的是加深青少年对海洋的理解与联系。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Entry Requirements部分“Entries can be submitted either by an individual or a group of any size, and participants need to provide documents to prove their identity. (参赛作品可以由个人或任何规模的团体提交，参与者需要提供证明身份的证件)”可知，参赛者必须提供身份证明。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Judging Criteria部分“Entries will be judged according to the requirements of their respective categories.

My name is Dorian, and I was turning seventeen — a milestone that had somehow been reduced to a hollow (空洞的) joke. It had all begun with a miscalculation so silly that I still feel awkward whenever I think about it. Having misread the group chat’s calendar, I had firmly believed that my closest friends — Elias, Thalia, and the rest — were planning secretly to throw a surprise party for me. Consequently, I spent three weeks making overly obvious suggestions about my favorite cake flavors, expecting a grand celebration. What I failed to realize, however, was that the event they were actually planning was a farewell (欢送) gathering for a teacher who was transferring to another school. The conflict of these two separate universes occurred at precisely 4 pm three weeks later. While I stood in my mother’s newly cleaned living room, wearing a silly party hat and waiting for the doorbell to ring, I received a single text from Elias: “Dorian, where are you? We’re all at the school gym. Coach Miller’s leaving.” The shock was physically painful; I felt my face burn with an embarrassment so intense that I briefly considered pretending an illness just to escape the situation. Eventually, I had to choose between feeling sorry for myself and saving the day. Grabbing a box of dark chocolates from the table, I ran all the way to the gym, arriving breathless just as the speeches were ending. Rather than accusing them of forgetting me, I handed the gift to Coach Miller and simply said, “I heard you like dark chocolate.” It was a lie, of course, but watching his face light up made the lie feel kinder than the truth would have been. This taught me that the world does not exist to meet my expectations. 4. Why did Dorian expect a party? A. He misunderstood group messages. B. His friends planned a big get-together. C. His classmates reminded him clearly. D. He decided to give a teacher a surprise. 5. What happened to Dorian that afternoon three weeks later? A. He forgot the party totally. B. The party began ahead of time. C. No guests showed up at his home. D. Miller sent him congratulations. 6. What did Dorian do after he learned about the truth? A. He behaved thoughtfully. B. He forgave his friends’ mistake. C. He told the truth to his coach. D. He held another celebration party. 7. What does the author intend to tell readers? A. Staying with like-minded friends. B. Avoiding becoming self-centered. C. Valuing the roles of lies in daily life. D. Learning to face sudden embarrassment. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了多里安因误读群聊信息而在家苦等朋友开派对，最终发现是误会，并选择用善意谎言化解尴尬的经历，告诉我们应避免以自我为中心。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Having misread the group chat’s calendar, I had firmly believed that my closest friends — Elias, Thalia, and the rest — were planning secretly to throw a surprise party for me.(由于误读了群聊里的日历信息，我坚信我最亲密的朋友——伊莱亚斯、塔利亚和其他人——正在秘密计划为我举办一个惊喜派对)”可知，多里安期待派对的原因是他误读了群聊里的日历信息，误以为朋友们在为他筹办惊喜派对。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The first time I seriously questioned my own judgment was not during a math exam or a college interview, but on a sticky July afternoon, surrounded by the deafening silence of a party that nobody attended.(我第一次认真质疑自己的判断不是在数学考试或大学面试期间，而是在一个闷热潮湿的七月下午，被一个无人参加的派对的震耳欲聋的寂静包围时)”以及第三段“While I stood in my mother’s newly cleaned living room, wearing a silly party hat and waiting for the doorbell to ring, I received a single text from Elias: “Dorian, where are you? We’re all at the school gym. Coach Miller’s leaving.”(当我站在妈妈新打扫的客厅里，戴着一顶愚蠢的派对帽，等待门铃响起时，我收到了伊莱亚斯的一条短信：“多里安，你在哪里？我们都在学校体育馆。米勒教练要走了。”)”可知，那天下午多里安家里没有客人出现，他在空荡荡的房间里独自等待。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Grabbing a box of dark chocolates from the table, I ran all the way to the gym, arriving breathless just as the speeches were ending. Rather than accusing them of forgetting me, I handed the gift to Coach Miller and simply said, “I heard you like dark chocolate.”(我从桌子上抓起一盒黑巧克力，一路跑到体育馆，在演讲结束时气喘吁吁地赶到。我没有指责他们忘记了我，而是把礼物递给米勒教练，简单地说：“我听说你喜欢黑巧克力。”)”可知，得知真相后，多里安没有责怪朋友，而是选择跑去体育馆，将礼物送给教练并送上祝福，这一行为体现了他懂事、体贴的一面。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“This taught me that the world does not exist to meet my expectations. (这让我明白，世界并不是为了满足我的期望而存在的)”以及全文内容可知，作者通过多里安的故事告诫读者不要过于以自我为中心，不要认为自己是一切的焦点。 C A popular musician posts a music video or an athlete shares a workout, and suddenly they seem like part of our lives. People like and share these posts, and over time, admiration can start to feel like friendship — people like to think they know celebrities. Psychology Today defines this phenomenon as a parasocial relationship (准社会关系) — a one-sided connection that exists only in the fan’s mind. First identified in 1956 to describe television viewers feeling closely connected to on-screen figures, this behavior has existed for ages. Today, social platforms deepen this illusion by offering constant, seemingly real updates on the lives of public figures. However, what audiences actually see is a carefully selected version of reality, edited for perfection rather than truth. Despite this created closeness, young people frequently view celebrities as standards for success. This influence often unconsciously shapes everything from their self-image to their long-term career goals. These relationships are not always harmful. For some, especially those who feel left out in society, seeing public figures with similar backgrounds can offer a sense of belonging. These connections can inspire confidence and make people feel less alone. In that sense, they can serve a real and meaningful purpose, offering comfort. The danger arises when the line between admiration and imagination disappears. The relationship becomes unhealthy when fans act as if they truly know a celebrity. They might take planned posts as personal messages and develop unrealistic expectations. Furthermore, these feelings now extend to artificial intelligence (AI). Chatbots acting like real friends can produce deep emotional responses, making it harder to tell real human connection from AI. Admiration itself is fine. Music, sports and entertainment have long connected communities, but that influence needs clear boundaries. Without them, simply watching a video is easily mistaken for close friendship, and carefully chosen content is mistaken for true connection. Parasocial relationships should remain what they are: distant and one-sided. In a digital age where everything is designed to feel personal, we must remember that it is not. 8. Why did the author mention the musician and the athlete in the first paragraph? A. To reveal the market value of stars’ posts. B. To criticize celebrities’ too-much-sharing. C. To show an imagined familiarity with stars. D. To illustrate progressive fan-star connection. 9. How do digital bonds built on celebrity posts affect the youth? A. They shape youths’ personal values. B. They make the youth perfectionists. C. They ease beauty standards for youths. D. They develop the youth’s social skills. 10. Which of the following is an example of the “danger” in paragraph 4? A. Flooding friends’ chats with celebrity updates. B. Using AI chatbots to solve academic challenges. C. Taking idols’ livestream as private video calls. D. Tracking a star’s posts to monitor their traces. 11. What may be the best title for the text? A. Music and Sports: The Uniting Strength B. Posts and Responses: The Healing Circle C. Blessing or Disaster: The Booming Internet D. Stardom or Friendship: The Mistaken Closeness 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了社交媒体时代准社会关系的现象，即粉丝对名人的单向情感依恋常被误认为真实友谊，这种错觉可能带来风险，需保持界限。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A popular musician posts a music video or an athlete shares a workout, and suddenly they seem like part of our lives. People like and share these posts, and over time, admiration can start to feel like friendship — people like to think they know celebrities. (一位受欢迎的音乐家发布音乐视频或运动员分享健身日常，突然间他们似乎成了我们生活的一部分。人们喜欢并分享这些帖子，随着时间的推移，崇拜开始感觉像友谊——人们喜欢认为他们了解名人。)”可知，作者提到音乐家和运动员是为了展示人们与名人之间一种想象出来的熟悉感。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Despite this created closeness, young people frequently view celebrities as standards for success. This influence often unconsciously shapes everything from their self-image to their long-term career goals. (尽管这种被刻意营造出来的亲近感，年轻人经常将名人视为成功的标准。这种影响常常在不知不觉中塑造了一切，从他们的自我形象到他们的长期职业目标。)”可知，建立在名人帖子上的数字纽带塑造了年轻人的个人价值观。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The danger arises when the line between admiration and imagination disappears. The relationship becomes unhealthy when fans act as if they truly know a celebrity. They might take planned posts as personal messages and develop unrealistic expectations. (当崇拜和想象之间的界限消失时，危险就出现了。当粉丝表现得好像他们真的了解名人时，这种关系就变得不健康了。他们可能会把计划好的帖子当作私人信息，并产生不切实际的期望。)”可知，“将偶像的直播当作私人视频通话”正是将计划好的内容误认为私人信息、产生不切实际期望的危险例子。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第一段“People like and share these posts, and over time, admiration can start to feel like friendship — people like to think they know celebrities. (人们喜欢并分享这些帖子，随着时间的推移，崇拜开始感觉像是友谊——人们喜欢认为自己了解名人。)”以及最后一段“Parasocial relationships should remain what they are: distant and one-sided. In a digital age where everything is designed to feel personal, we must remember that it is not. (准社会关系应该保持原样：有距离的和单向的。在一个一切都被设计得让人感觉很私人的数字时代，我们必须记住，事实并非如此。)”可知，文章主要探讨了人们容易将名人的单向展示误认为真实亲密关系的现象，因此最佳标题是“Stardom or Friendship: The Mistaken Closeness (明星光环还是真实友谊：被误解的亲近感)”。 D Will there be another Harry Potter? Between 1997 and 2007, it seemed like every child was reading J.K. Rowling’s fantasy novels about a teenager’s adventures. Kids worldwide spent long hours reading the thick hardcovers many times. But when digital reading began supplanting print reading, we may never again see another book series attract kids’ attention as Harry Potter did. In addition, the switch to digital reading may be affecting kids’ reading comprehension skills, a recently published study finds. Scientists at the University of Valencia in Spain analyzed 26 previous studies, each exploring the effect of leisure-time digital reading on comprehension. They found that digital reading does improve comprehension skills, but the beneficial effect of deep reading is between six and seven times smaller than that of print reading, and it’s smallest for children. Great exposure to digital reading activities may prevent early readers from building firm reading basics in a critical period. Digital texts tend to be much shorter and have worse linguistic (语言学的) quality compared to printed works. Phones and computers also expose readers to distractions (干扰) from social media, You tube, and video games. Because youth tend to have poor impulse (冲动) control, they are more likely to be distracted than adults when engaging in digital reading. They also are less likely to have mastered vocabulary and grammar rules. With paper, there is a literal laying on of hands, along with the visual geography of distinct pages. People often link their memory of what they’ve read to how far into the book it was or where it was on the page. The more kids are exposed to print reading, the better able they are to understand and recall what they are reading. Moreover, as young readers consume longer and more complex texts, their reading skills improve, further boosting their abilities. It is therefore recommended that parents and teachers limit kids’ time with digital content, or at least emphasize printed works or using basic e-readers with ink-screens. 12. What does the underlined word “supplanting” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Changing. B. Replacing. C. Influencing. D. Aiding. 13. What does the author focus on in the first two paragraphs? A. The loss of deep reading. B. The importance of reading. C. The appeal of print reading. D. The benefits of digital reading. 14. The study finds that print reading can enhance kids’ reading abilities because of __________. A. Parents’ reading skills. B. Social Media’s support. C. Paper’s physical properties. D. Kids’ consumption of easy texts. 15. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Basic e-readers can be promoted. B. Print reading still has a place nowadays. C. Teachers should limit kids’ reading time. D. Parents should emphasize digital reading. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了电子阅读的兴起，以及其对孩子们阅读的积极和消极的影响。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段中“Kids worldwide spent long hours reading the thick hardcovers many times.( 世界各地的孩子们花很长时间反复阅读这本厚厚的精装书。)”以及划线单词句中“... we may never again see another book series attract kids’ attention as Harry Potter did.( ……我们可能再也不会看到像《哈利波特》这样吸引孩子们注意力的系列图书了。)”可知，前后文形成对比，提到数字阅读和纸质阅读，且表示数字阅读开始后，像《哈利・波特》那样吸引孩子注意力的纸质书系列可能不会再出现了，由此可推测“supplanting”意思是“取代”，即数字阅读开始取代纸质阅读，“replace”有“取代”之意。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“But when digital reading began supplanting print reading, we may never again see another book series attract kids’ attention as Harry Potter did. In addition, the switch to digital reading may be affecting kids’ reading comprehension skills, a recently published study finds.( 但是，当数字阅读开始取代纸质阅读时，我们可能再也不会看到像《哈利波特》这样吸引孩子们注意力的系列图书了。此外，最近发表的一项研究发现，转向数字阅读可能会影响孩子们的阅读理解能力。)”以及第二段中“They found that digital reading does improve comprehension skills, but the beneficial effect of deep reading is between six and seven times smaller than that of print reading, and it’s smallest for children.( 他们发现，数字阅读确实能提高理解能力，但深度阅读的有益效果比纸质阅读小6到7倍，对儿童的影响最小。)”可知，第一段提到数字阅读开始取代纸质阅读，可能不会再有像《哈利・波特》那样吸引孩子的书系列，第二段指出数字阅读对阅读理解技能提升效果不如纸质阅读，尤其是对孩子，综合两段内容，作者重点关注的是深度阅读的缺失，因为数字阅读的兴起影响了孩子像以前那样进行深度阅读。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“With paper, there is a literal laying on of hands, along with the visual geography of distinct pages. People often link their memory of what they’ve read to how far into the book it was or where it was on the page.( 在纸上，有一个字面上的手，以及不同页面的视觉地理。人们通常会把他们对所读内容的记忆与书的深度或在书页上的位置联系起来。)”可知，研究发现，纸质阅读可以提高孩子的阅读能力，是因为纸质书的物理特性，这种特性有助于提高孩子的阅读能力。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It is therefore recommended that parents and teachers limit kids’ time with digital content, or at least emphasize printed works or using basic e-readers with ink-screens.( 因此，建议家长和老师限制孩子接触数字内容的时间，或者至少强调印刷作品或使用基本的带墨水屏幕的电子阅读器。)”可推知，作者在最后一段暗示了在如今，纸质阅读仍然有其存在的价值和地位。故选B项。 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。 Is AI Helping or Hurting High School Students? Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more common in education. Many high school students now use AI tools like ChatGPT to help with homework, write essays, or even study for exams. ____16____ But are they really helping students learn better? A recent study from MIT found that students who used AI to write essays showed lower brain activity than those who wrote without help. ____17____ Researchers believe that when students rely too much on AI, they stop using their own minds to solve problems. ____18____ Some students feel anxious when they cannot tell if the AI’s answer is correct. Others worry that they are not really learning, just copying. This can lead to less motivation and more stress. However, AI is not entirely negative. ____19____ This helps students understand their mistakes and improve faster. AI can also help with language learning, math practice, and science projects if used in the right way. Experts say the key is balance. The users can let AI lend a hand, but never let it replace the mind. For example, AI can give ideas or explain difficult words, but students should still try to solve problems on their own first. Teachers also need to teach students how to use AI responsibly, so they don’t lose important skills like critical thinking and creativity. ____20____ In the age of AI, learning is changing. But one thing stays the same: real learning happens when students think for themselves. A. These tools are fast, smart, and easy to use. B. In short, AI is just a helper, not a replacement. C. AI will completely replace teachers in the near future. D. Another problem is that AI can make students feel less confident. E. In some schools, teachers use AI to give students personalized feedback. F. The Internet makes it possible for students to study anywhere at any time. G. Over time, these students also had poorer memory and weaker thinking skills. 【答案】16. A 17. G 18. D 19. E 20. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要讨论了人工智能对高中生的影响，分析了过度依赖AI带来的弊端、AI的积极作用，并提出应合理、平衡地使用AI。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Many high school students now use AI tools like ChatGPT to help with homework, write essays, or even study for exams.(许多高中生现在使用像ChatGPT 这样的AI 工具来帮忙做作业、写文章，甚至备考。)” 可知，前文介绍学生使用 AI 工具的现象；选项A“These tools are fast, smart, and easy to use.(这些工具快捷、智能且易于使用。)” 是对这些AI工具特点的描述，与上文衔接自然，说明学生使用这些工具的原因。故选A。 【17题详解】 根据前文“A recent study from MIT found that students who used AI to write essays showed lower brain activity than those who wrote without help.(麻省理工学院最近的一项研究发现，使用AI写文章的学生比独立写作的学生大脑活跃度更低。)” 可知，前文说明使用AI对大脑活动的负面影响；选项G“Over time, these students also had poorer memory and weaker thinking skills.(久而久之，这些学生的记忆力和思维能力也会变差。)” 进一步说明长期使用AI带来的危害，与上文逻辑一致。故选G。 【18题详解】 根据后文“Some students feel anxious when they cannot tell if the AI’s answer is correct. Others worry that they are not really learning, just copying.(一些学生因无法判断 AI 答案是否正确而感到焦虑。另一些人担心自己没有真正学习，只是在抄袭。)” 可知，本段在讲述AI给学生带来的心理问题；选项D“Another problem is that AI can make students feel less confident.(另一个问题是 AI 会让学生变得不自信。)” 总领本段内容，符合语境。故选D。 【19题详解】 根据前文“However, AI is not entirely negative.(然而，AI 并非完全是负面的。)” 以及后文“This helps students understand their mistakes and improve faster.(这有助于学生理解错误并更快进步。)” 可知，本段介绍AI的积极作用；选项E“In some schools, teachers use AI to give students personalized feedback.(在一些学校，教师利用 AI 给学生提供个性化反馈。)” 具体说明了AI的正面用途，与上下文衔接紧密。故选E。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Experts say the key is balance. The users can let AI lend a hand, but never let it replace the mind.(专家表示关键在于平衡。用户可以让AI帮忙，但绝不能让它取代思考。)” 以及“Teachers also need to teach students how to use AI responsibly, so they don’t lose important skills like critical thinking and creativity.(教师们还需要教导学生负责任地使用人工智能，这样他们才不会丧失批判性思维和创造力这类重要能力。)” 可知，前文强调AI只是辅助工具；选项B“In short, AI is just a helper, not a replacement.(简而言之，AI只是帮手，而非替代品。)” 总结观点，符合逻辑。故选B。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It was late afternoon that day, yet still hot.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲的是作者在炎热午后好心搭载一位提着杂货的老妇人，因对方住处偏僻、接应的年轻人外形有威慑感而仓促离开，途中误以为手机被偷心生悔意，最终发现是老妇人不慎误拿手机，年轻人特意追来归还，这件事让作者领悟到不能仅凭外表刻板评判他人，普通人也能拥有高尚的品格。 【21题详解】 ‌考查动词。句意：我向北开车时，看到一位提着杂货的老妇人正艰难地向南走，显然需要帮助。A. glancing扫视；B. running奔跑；C. struggling艰难行进；D. riding骑行。根据上文“I saw an elderly woman with groceries”和下文“obviously in need of help”可知，老妇人提着沉重的杂货，在炎热的午后赶路，用struggling最能体现她步履维艰、需要帮助的状态。 【22题详解】 考查动词。句意：“但我怎么能在不阻碍傍晚时期车流的情况下安全停车呢？”我暗自思忖。A. complained抱怨；B. reasoned逻辑思考；C. confirmed确认；D. doubted怀疑。根据上文“But how can I safely stop without blocking late-afternoon traffic”可知，作者在为自己不停车的行为找合理的解释，用reasoned体现他当时的心理活动，表示作者在进行思考。 【23题详解】 考查副词。句意：这个想法暂时缓解了我的愧疚感。A. occasionally偶尔；B. completely完全地；C. gradually逐渐地；D. temporarily暂时地。根据下文“Yet I still made a U-turn”可知，作者还是掉头回去帮忙了，说明这份愧疚只是被暂时缓解，并没有彻底消失。 【24题详解】 考查动词。句意：但我还是掉了头，这惹恼了其他司机。A. annoyed使恼怒；B. discouraged使气馁；C. disappointed使失望；D. inspired鼓舞。根据上文“I still made a U-turn”和“late-afternoon traffic”可知，在车流中突然掉头的行为会影响其他车辆正常通行，自然会让其他司机感到恼怒。 【25题详解】 考查动词。句意：“愿上帝保佑你。”她说道，指引我往更南的方向开。A. urging催促；B. directing指引；C. driving驾驶；D. leaving离开。根据下文“me farther south. As we drove”可知，作者主动提出载老妇人一程，老妇人自然是要告知他目的地的方向，用directing符合语境。 【26题详解】 考查形容词。句意：当我进入一个街道杂乱、到处都是无家可归者的区域时，心里开始不安。A. sensible明智的；B. mindless盲目的；C. uneasy不安的；D. curious好奇的。根据下文“streets and homeless people”可知，陌生的偏僻区域加上流浪汉，很容易让独自驾车的人产生不安的情绪。 【27题详解】 考查形容词。句意：当我进入一个街道杂乱、到处都是无家可归者的区域时，心里开始不安。A. messy杂乱的；B. orderly有序的；C. safe安全的；D. busy繁忙的。根据下文“homeless people”可知，这里有流浪汉，整体环境不会是整洁有序的，messy最贴合该区域的特征。 【28题详解】 考查动词。句意：我迅速把她的东西卸下来，然后快速开车离开了。A. dropped放下、卸下；B. unpacked打开（包裹）；C. carried搬运；D. fetched取来。根据下文“her things off, and then quickly drove away”可知，作者当时感到威胁，只想快速把老妇人的东西从车上卸下来，立刻脱身，drop off是固定搭配，表示“卸下（物品）”。 【29题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：我伸手去拿手机拨打911，却发现手机不见了。A. put away收好；B. picked up捡起；C. held on to紧紧抓住；D. reached for伸手去拿。根据下文“my phone to call 911”可知，遇到危险想要报警，自然是伸手去够放在某处的手机，reached for精准描述了这个动作。 【30题详解】 考查动词。句意：“她偷走了我的手机！”我心想，不禁后悔自己的善意之举。A. recalling回忆；B. mourning哀悼；C. regretting后悔；D. appreciating感激。根据上文“She stole it”可知，作者误以为自己的好心帮忙换来了手机被偷，自然会对之前的善意行为感到后悔。 【31题详解】 考查动词。句意：那个骑摩托车的人一直示意我停下，手里挥着个东西——正是我的手机！A. warning警告；B. signaling示意；C. forcing强迫；D. begging乞求。根据上文“Soon, a motorcycle roared behind me”和下文“me to stop, waving something”可知，他在作者车后骑行，通过挥手的方式向作者发出停车的信号，signaling符合场景逻辑。 【32题详解】 考查介词短语。句意：我把车停了下来，他把手机递给我：“奶奶送过来这个手机——她是不小心拿走的。”A. in advance提前；B. in secret秘密地；C. by accident意外地；D. at random随意地。根据下文“I was sorry for my thoughts”可知，作者误会老妇人了，说明老妇人并不是故意偷手机，只是下车时不小心顺手带走了，by accident解释了手机不在作者身上的合理原因。 【33题详解】 考查名词。句意：我再也没有机会为我之前的恶意揣测向他们道歉了。A. attempt尝试；B. honour荣誉；C. motivation动机；D. chance机会。根据上文“soon disappeared into the night”可知，那个年轻人送完手机就消失在夜色里，作者之后再也没有遇到他们，自然没有道歉的机会。 【34题详解】 考查名词。句意：那天我还领悟到了别的东西：有时候我们会把别人判定为坏人，仅仅是因为他们的外表不符合我们心中认定的“正确标准”。A. behavior行为；B. appearance外表；C. perspective观点；D. personality性格。根据第第二段中“a young man, wearing long hair, on a motorcycle, was smiling at me, but appearing threatening”可知，年轻人留着长发、骑着摩托车，看起来有威胁感，这些都是外在的表象，让作者先入为主产生了偏见。 【35题详解】 ‌考查形容词。句意：他们或许没有开时髦的车，但谁又能说他们和我们不平等，甚至不比我们更高尚呢？A. generous慷慨的；B. friendly友好的；C. loyal忠诚的；D. equal平等的。根据上文“They may not drive a stylish car”可知，此处作者是想说不能以物质条件评判他人，每个人在人格上都是平等的，甚至拥有比普通人更可贵的品质。 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。 In 1999, Ronald Sakolsky, ____36____ American teacher at Luoyang Foreign Language School, learned about Yin Yuzhen’s ongoing efforts to fight desertification in the Mu Us Sandy Land (毛乌素沙地).

For decades, it had been a shelter for book lovers. The wooden sign above the door, weathered but proud, read “Hopkins’ Books” in brick red. It had been a constant place where time moved slower with the first turn of a page. Now, it was closing. The news felt like a physical blow to David, a quiet college student who had grown up reading in the cozy corners of the shop. The smell of old paper was the smell of his childhood, witnessing his growth. He couldn’t imagine the street without its warm, inviting light. When the news spread throughout the entire neighborhood, worry was written all over everyone’s faces. The reason for the closure was a woman named Sarah Chen. Representing a large development company, she had made a generous offer to buy the building. She saw the space not for its shelves of stories, but for its potential as a trendy café, a profitable upgrade. To her, it was just business. Mr. Hopkins, now old and tired, felt defeated. “Maybe it’s time, David,” he sighed, his hand resting on a dusty copy of his favorite novel. “The world has moved on.” On the day of the final meeting, David arrived early, his backpack filled with items he had collected over the years from the store: a bookmark from his tenth birthday, a receipt from the first book he had bought with his own money, a photograph of himself and Mr. Hopkins taken during a summer reading program. He walked to the children’s section and drew a small, worn copy of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The cover was faded, the pages yellowed, but the spine still held strong. Sarah arrived precisely at 2:00 p.m. She wasted no time getting down to business, reviewing the contract with Mr. Hopkins. David watched from the sidelines, his heart pounding in his chest. 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。 Paragraph 1: He couldn’t let this happen — not without trying to make his voice heard. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A decision was made to combine a bookstore and a café in one project, and the construction began. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: He couldn’t let this happen — not without trying to make his voice heard. As Sarah flipped through the contract, David gripped The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, stepping forward with courage. “Ms. Chen, may I show you something?” He laid out a bookmark, and faded photos — tangible threads of the neighborhood’s memories. “This store isn’t just wood and shelves: here I learned to dream, Mrs. Henderson reads to kids weekly, and Mr. Hopkins found my first poetry book.” His eyes glistened as children glanced from the corner, clutching books. “It’s a living legacy, not just profit.” Sarah’s pen froze, her gaze softening and hesitation flickering across her face. A decision was made to combine a bookstore and a café in one project, and the construction began. Workers handled the store with utmost care crafting a cozy café bar bathed in warm light. David volunteered diligently, sorting books and hanging lights that cast gentle glows on pages. When the doors reopened, joy filled the air: kids stretched on cushions reading, and elders chatted over the bar. Mr. Hopkins smiled by the door as the store breathed new life — no longer just a book lovers’ shelter, but a vibrant harbour where memories endured and new stories unfolded. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Hopkins先生的书店多年来一直是书迷们的避风港，如今却面临关闭，原因是Sarah Chen要收购这座建筑用于商业行为，心灰意冷的Hopkins先生也决定放手，但这对其中一名顾客David来说犹如晴天霹雳，书店承载着他童年的记忆，见证了他成长的历程，在最终会议的那天，David背着多年来从书店里收集来的物品早早到达，看着Sarah与Hopkins先生一起审查合同，他的心在胸膛里剧烈地跳动着。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“如果他没有努力让自己的声音被听到，他绝不能让这种情况发生”可知，第一段可描写David向Sarah展示自己带的东西，讲述书店的意义，Sarah态度变得缓和。 ②由第二段首句内容“最终决定将书店和咖啡馆合二为一，开始进行建设。”可知，第二段可描写书店和咖啡馆建成，焕发出新的生机。 2.续写线索：走向Sarah——讲述书店的意义——态度变得柔和——最终决定——书店和咖啡馆建成——焕发新的生机 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①浏览，草草翻阅：flip through/flick through ②铺开，展开：lay out/spread out ③闪闪发光：glisten/shine 情绪类 ①勇气：courage/bravery ②欢乐：joy/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1] As Sarah flipped through the contract, David gripped The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, stepping forward with courage.（由连词as引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2] David volunteered diligently, sorting books and hanging lights that cast gentle glows on pages.  （由关系代词that引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 荥阳高中2025级高二上学期期中考试 英语试题卷 满分：150分 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段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，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。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

B The first time I seriously questioned my own judgment was not during a math exam or a college interview, but on a sticky July afternoon, surrounded by the deafening silence of a party that nobody attended. My name is Dorian, and I was turning seventeen — a milestone that had somehow been reduced to a hollow (空洞的) joke. It had all begun with a miscalculation so silly that I still feel awkward whenever I think about it. Having misread the group chat’s calendar, I had firmly believed that my closest friends — Elias, Thalia, and the rest — were planning secretly to throw a surprise party for me. Consequently, I spent three weeks making overly obvious suggestions about my favorite cake flavors, expecting a grand celebration. What I failed to realize, however, was that the event they were actually planning was a farewell (欢送) gathering for a teacher who was transferring to another school. The conflict of these two separate universes occurred at precisely 4 pm three weeks later. While I stood in my mother’s newly cleaned living room, wearing a silly party hat and waiting for the doorbell to ring, I received a single text from Elias: “Dorian, where are you? We’re all at the school gym. Coach Miller’s leaving.” The shock was physically painful; I felt my face burn with an embarrassment so intense that I briefly considered pretending an illness just to escape the situation. Eventually, I had to choose between feeling sorry for myself and saving the day. Grabbing a box of dark chocolates from the table, I ran all the way to the gym, arriving breathless just as the speeches were ending. Rather than accusing them of forgetting me, I handed the gift to Coach Miller and simply said, “I heard you like dark chocolate.” It was a lie, of course, but watching his face light up made the lie feel kinder than the truth would have been. This taught me that the world does not exist to meet my expectations. 4. Why did Dorian expect a party? A. He misunderstood group messages. B. His friends planned a big get-together. C. His classmates reminded him clearly. D. He decided to give a teacher a surprise. 5. What happened to Dorian that afternoon three weeks later? A. He forgot the party totally. B. The party began ahead of time. C. No guests showed up at his home. D. Miller sent him congratulations. 6. What did Dorian do after he learned about the truth? A. He behaved thoughtfully. B. He forgave his friends’ mistake. C. He told the truth to his coach. D. He held another celebration party. 7. What does the author intend to tell readers? A. Staying with like-minded friends. B. Avoiding becoming self-centered. C. Valuing the roles of lies in daily life. D. Learning to face sudden embarrassment. C A popular musician posts a music video or an athlete shares a workout, and suddenly they seem like part of our lives. People like and share these posts, and over time, admiration can start to feel like friendship — people like to think they know celebrities. Psychology Today defines this phenomenon as a parasocial relationship (准社会关系) — a one-sided connection that exists only in the fan’s mind. First identified in 1956 to describe television viewers feeling closely connected to on-screen figures, this behavior has existed for ages. Today, social platforms deepen this illusion by offering constant, seemingly real updates on the lives of public figures. However, what audiences actually see is a carefully selected version of reality, edited for perfection rather than truth. Despite this created closeness, young people frequently view celebrities as standards for success. This influence often unconsciously shapes everything from their self-image to their long-term career goals. These relationships are not always harmful. For some, especially those who feel left out in society, seeing public figures with similar backgrounds can offer a sense of belonging. These connections can inspire confidence and make people feel less alone. In that sense, they can serve a real and meaningful purpose, offering comfort. The danger arises when the line between admiration and imagination disappears. The relationship becomes unhealthy when fans act as if they truly know a celebrity. They might take planned posts as personal messages and develop unrealistic expectations. Furthermore, these feelings now extend to artificial intelligence (AI). Chatbots acting like real friends can produce deep emotional responses, making it harder to tell real human connection from AI. Admiration itself is fine. Music, sports and entertainment have long connected communities, but that influence needs clear boundaries. Without them, simply watching a video is easily mistaken for close friendship, and carefully chosen content is mistaken for true connection. Parasocial relationships should remain what they are: distant and one-sided. In a digital age where everything is designed to feel personal, we must remember that it is not. 8. Why did the author mention the musician and the athlete in the first paragraph? A. To reveal the market value of stars’ posts. B. To criticize celebrities’ too-much-sharing. C. To show an imagined familiarity with stars. D. To illustrate progressive fan-star connection. 9. How do digital bonds built on celebrity posts affect the youth? A. They shape youths’ personal values. B. They make the youth perfectionists. C. They ease beauty standards for youths. D. They develop the youth’s social skills. 10. Which of the following is an example of the “danger” in paragraph 4? A. Flooding friends’ chats with celebrity updates. B. Using AI chatbots to solve academic challenges. C. Taking idols’ livestream as private video calls. D. Tracking a star’s posts to monitor their traces. 11. What may be the best title for the text? A. Music and Sports: The Uniting Strength B. Posts and Responses: The Healing Circle C. Blessing or Disaster: The Booming Internet D. Stardom or Friendship: The Mistaken Closeness D Will there be another Harry Potter? Between 1997 and 2007, it seemed like every child was reading J.K. Rowling’s fantasy novels about a teenager’s adventures. Kids worldwide spent long hours reading the thick hardcovers many times. But when digital reading began supplanting print reading, we may never again see another book series attract kids’ attention as Harry Potter did. In addition, the switch to digital reading may be affecting kids’ reading comprehension skills, a recently published study finds. Scientists at the University of Valencia in Spain analyzed 26 previous studies, each exploring the effect of leisure-time digital reading on comprehension. They found that digital reading does improve comprehension skills, but the beneficial effect of deep reading is between six and seven times smaller than that of print reading, and it’s smallest for children. Great exposure to digital reading activities may prevent early readers from building firm reading basics in a critical period. Digital texts tend to be much shorter and have worse linguistic (语言学的) quality compared to printed works. Phones and computers also expose readers to distractions (干扰) from social media, You tube, and video games. Because youth tend to have poor impulse (冲动) control, they are more likely to be distracted than adults when engaging in digital reading. They also are less likely to have mastered vocabulary and grammar rules. With paper, there is a literal laying on of hands, along with the visual geography of distinct pages. People often link their memory of what they’ve read to how far into the book it was or where it was on the page. The more kids are exposed to print reading, the better able they are to understand and recall what they are reading.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more common in education. Many high school students now use AI tools like ChatGPT to help with homework, write essays, or even study for exams. ____16____ But are they really helping students learn better? A recent study from MIT found that students who used AI to write essays showed lower brain activity than those who wrote without help. ____17____ Researchers believe that when students rely too much on AI, they stop using their own minds to solve problems. ____18____ Some students feel anxious when they cannot tell if the AI’s answer is correct.

For decades, it had been a shelter for book lovers. The wooden sign above the door, weathered but proud, read “Hopkins’ Books” in brick red. It had been a constant place where time moved slower with the first turn of a page. Now, it was closing. The news felt like a physical blow to David, a quiet college student who had grown up reading in the cozy corners of the shop. The smell of old paper was the smell of his childhood, witnessing his growth. He couldn’t imagine the street without its warm, inviting light. When the news spread throughout the entire neighborhood, worry was written all over everyone’s faces. The reason for the closure was a woman named Sarah Chen. Representing a large development company, she had made a generous offer to buy the building. She saw the space not for its shelves of stories, but for its potential as a trendy café, a profitable upgrade. To her, it was just business. Mr. Hopkins, now old and tired, felt defeated. “Maybe it’s time, David,” he sighed, his hand resting on a dusty copy of his favorite novel. “The world has moved on.” On the day of the final meeting, David arrived early, his backpack filled with items he had collected over the years from the store: a bookmark from his tenth birthday, a receipt from the first book he had bought with his own money, a photograph of himself and Mr. Hopkins taken during a summer reading program. He walked to the children’s section and drew a small, worn copy of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The cover was faded, the pages yellowed, but the spine still held strong. Sarah arrived precisely at 2:00 p.m. She wasted no time getting down to business, reviewing the contract with Mr. Hopkins. David watched from the sidelines, his heart pounding in his chest. 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。 Paragraph 1: He couldn’t let this happen — not without trying to make his voice heard. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A decision was made to combine a bookstore and a café in one project, and the construction began. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
