书面表达
A possible version
It is obvious that more and more students spend much time on short videos nowadays. On the one hand,
watching short videos is a good way for us to have a break and get rid of the pressure from school. Besides, we
can also learn some knowledge and useful skills at the same time. On the other hand, if not controlled, students
can easily indulge in short videos, which makes them unable to focus on their studies.
In my opinion, short videos have brought pleasure and relaxation to us, and we should make better use of it
and properly manage our time.
读后续写
The pickup finally stopped, and out stepped the driver. “What’s up? young man!” asked the driver. “I have
a flat tire.” I responded. The driver then knelt on his knee and took a close look at the broken tire. “Nothing
serious, I’ll help replace the tire.” Hearing his words, I breathed a sigh of relief. A surge of warmth soon flowed
through my heart. The driver immediately pulled some tools out of the trunk and set to work. Just within minutes,
the spare tire was installed in place. Deeply touched by the driver’s selfless help, I grabbed his arm, trying to cram
some cash into his hand.
The driver drew back and refused to take the money. In no time, he stepped onto the pickup and soon
disappeared into the dark night, leaving me greatly shocked. An accident turned out to be a blessing when a
stranger approached me like an angel. Many years have passed, but the driver’s kind gesture still sticks in my
head. It was his generous help that drove away cold, bringing me warmth on that snowy night. Even though I
don’t know his name, his act of kindness makes a great difference to me, always inspiring me to reach out to those
in need.

地。
21.细节理解题。根据Destination 1: Machu Picchu, Peru中的介绍“The site’s mysterious history and stunning
natural setting make it a must-visit destination for those with a penchant for exploration.(该遗址神秘的历史和令
人惊叹的自然环境使其成为那些喜欢探索的人必去的目的地。)”可知，其难以解释的历史和自然景观。
使其成为必游之地。故选D。
22.推理判断题。根据Destination 2: Santorini, Greece中的“Wander through the charming white-washed
限公司 高二（上）期中检测英语试题 第 1 页 共 6 页villages of Oia and Fira, and savor the local cuisine, which includes fresh seafood and delicious Mediterranean
delicacies. (漫步在伊亚和费拉迷人的白色村庄，品尝当地的美食，包括新鲜的海鲜和美味的地中海美
食。)”以及Destination 4: Prague, Czech Republic中的“Prague’s vibrant nightlife and world-class cuisine
make it a popular destination for travelers from around the world.(布拉格充满活力的夜生活和世界级的美食使
它成为世界各地游客的热门目的地。)”可知，两者的共同之处是他们提供美味佳肴。故选B。
23.推理判断题。根据Destination 1: Machu Picchu, Peru中的介绍“The site’s mysterious history and stunning
natural setting make it a must-visit destination for those with a penchant for exploration.(该遗址神秘的历史和令
人惊叹的自然环境使其成为那些喜欢探索的人必去的目的地。)”以及Destination 3: Kyoto, Japan中的
“As the cultural heart of Japan, Kyoto is a city steeped in history and tradition. (作为日本的文化中心，京都是
一座充满历史和传统的城市)”可知，如果对历史感兴趣，可以选择参观目的地1和目的地3。故选A。
B篇
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过个人经历，说明了扫地机器人的好处和弊端，并阐了自己的期
待。
24.细节理解题。由文章第二段中“When the box arrived, I was afraid the device would detect me and
soak up (汲) data along with the dog hair and dust. (当盒子到达时，我担心这个设备会检测到我，并随
着狗毛和灰尘吸收数据。)”可知，起初，作者对扫地机器人的担忧是怕它侵犯她家人的隐私。故选C。
25.推理判断题。由文章第三段“I powered up the sweeper, watched it leave its docking station to work,
and quickly fell in love with my newly shiny floors. I kept shooting its working videos. “I think you’re
giving more attention to it than to us,” joked my son. (我给扫地机充上了电，看着它离开坞站开始工
作，很快就爱上了我新铺的闪闪发光的地板。我一直在拍摄它的工作视频。“我觉得你把更多的注意力放
在它身上，而不是我们身上，”我儿子开玩笑说。)”可知，作者使用扫地人后对扫地机器人充满热情。故
选A。
26.推理判断题。由文章第五段“The robot acted properly as it was programmed to clean “dirty” things.
In a kitchen, dirt can be garden debris (碎片) such as leaves and mud. In a garden, this kind of dirt
does not need to be removed. The context is important. The problem for robots is that reading this
context is difficult. (这个机器人的行为是正确的，因为它被编程来清理“脏”的东西。在厨房里，污垢可以
是花园的碎片，比如树叶和泥土。在花园里，这种污垢不需要清除。背景很重要。机器人面临的问题
是，阅读上下文是很困难的。)”可知，发生事故的根本原因是机器人缺乏批判性思维，故选B。
27.主旨大意题。由文章第六段“This accident inspired me to think more about AI (artificial intelligence).
As far as I am concerned, AI is simply well trained and reproduces what it has learned. And it is
undeniable that robots are increasingly being given powerful intelligence. Some experts even predict that
we will soon see not only AI-enabled robots designed to solve problems according to their instructions,
but also those with the ability to judge how they should respond when they are in a different setting.
(这次事故激发了我对AI（人工智能）的更多思考。就我而言，人工智能只是训练有素，并复制了它所学
到的东西。不可否认的是，越来越多的机器人被赋予强大的智能。一些专家甚至预测，我们很快就会看
到不仅能够根据指令解决问题的人工智能机器人，而且还能在不同的环境中判断自己应该如何应对。)”可
知，关于人工智能，第六段主要讲作者的观点。故选D。
C篇
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章以美国缅因州的蓝莓种植业为例，介绍了“农业光伏”这一概念。
28.推理判断题。根据第二段“At David Dickey’s small farm, farmers harvest blueberries, packing a burst of
sweetness into tiny purple package. They’re also harvesting sunshine. A grid (格子) of solar panels stands a few
feet above four hectares (10 acres) of the land. The electricity these generate powers a few hundred nearby homes.
Under and around these panels are extending fields of the low, thick blueberry bushes.(在大卫·迪基的小农场
里，农民们收割蓝莓，用紫色的小包装包装出阵阵甜味。他们也在收获阳光。太阳能电池板网在4公顷
限公司 高二（上）期中检测英语试题 第 2 页 共 6 页（10英亩）土地上几英尺高的地方竖立着。这些发电站产生的电力可供附近几百户家庭使用。在这些嵌
板的下面和周围，是一片又矮又厚的蓝莓灌木丛)”可知，第二段是通过进行具体的描述展开的。故选A
项。
29.细节理解题。根据第三段“Solar panels generate electric power without sending out the carbon dioxide and
other greenhouse gases that fossil fuels release as they’re burned.(太阳能电池板发电时不会像化石燃料燃烧时
那样释放二氧化碳和其他温室气体)”可知，太阳能电池板发电不会产生污染。故选B项。
30.推理判断题。根据第五段“Agrivoltaic projects can benefit farmers by giving them a second crop: electric
power. Also, farmers can pick up some extra cash by renting their land to power companies that will fix their own
solar panel son the site.(光伏发电项目可以给农民带来第二种作物：电力。此外，农民还可以通过把土地租
给电力公司来获得一些额外的现金，电力公司将在现场安装他们自己的太阳能电池板)”可知，“农业光
伏”项目使农民有了额外的收入来源。故选C项。
31.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although the idea behind Agrivoltaics has been around for decades, it’s really
just exploded over the last few years.(“农业光伏”背后的理念已经存在了几十年，在过去几年才真正盛
行)”可知，“农业光伏”正处于一个不断增长的趋势。故选B项。
D篇
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了熟悉性原则对我们决策的影响，并提出了一种平衡的观点
来看待这个原则，而不是将其视为阻碍，作者建议我们可以通过逐步扩展熟悉区域来利用这一原则来促
进创造性和成长。
32.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Studies have shown the mere exposure effect, also referred to as the
familiarity principle, inspires our decisions. It is a helpful psychological mechanism that helps us sustain our
energy and focus our attention on other things. Getting used to new things takes effort and it can be tiring. So
unless we have a terrible experience, we are likely to buy from companies we’ve got used to. That is why
companies spend so much money on advertising and marketing and why insurance (保险)companies openly
charge existing customers more than new ones.(研究表明，单纯的暴露效应，也被称为熟悉原则，会激发我
们的决定。这是一种有益的心理机制，可以帮助我们保持精力充沛，并将注意力集中在其他事情上。习
惯新事物需要努力，而且可能会让人筋疲力尽。因此，除非我们有糟糕的经历，否则我们很可能会从我
们已经习惯的公司购买股票。这就是为什么公司在广告和营销上花那么多钱，为什么保险公司公开向现
有客户收取比新客户更高的费用。)”可知，熟悉原则让保险公司向老客户收取更多费用。故选C。
33.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“It’s not the case that we only desire things we already know. Some studies
suggest when invited to share our preferences, we sometimes see less familiar options as more desirable. But
when acting on that preference, we fall back to what we know. This might explain why sometimes the things we
want and the things we do don’t quite match up. We might even return to companies that treated us poorly in the
past or stay in bad relationships.(这并不是说我们只想要已知的东西。一些研究表明，当被邀请分享我们的
偏好时，我们有时会认为不太熟悉的选择更可取。但当我们按照这种偏好行事时，我们又回到了我们所
知道的。这也许可以解释为什么有时候我们想要的和我们做的并不完全匹配。我们甚至可能回到过去对
我们不好的公司，或者保持糟糕的关系。)”可知，本段解释了为什么有时候我们想要的和我们做的并不
完全匹配，也就是说有时候我们的欲望和行动可能不匹配。故选D。
34.推理判断题。根据文章第三段“While this can appear effective in the short run, we may only end up
replacing one problem with another. It also risks overwhelm and burnout.(虽然这在短期内看起来是有效的，但
我们最终可能只是用一个问题代替另一个问题。它也有让人不堪重负和精疲力竭的风险。)”可知，这段
话表明作者对文章中提出的解决方案持反对态度，认为这种解决方案可能只是暂时有效，而且可能带来
新的问题和风险。因此，作者的态度是反对的。故选A。
35.主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Studies have shown the mere exposure effect, also referred to as the
familiarity principle, inspires our decisions. It is a helpful psychological mechanism that helps us sustain our
energy and focus our attention on other things. Getting used to new things takes effort and it can be exhausting.(研
限公司 高二（上）期中检测英语试题 第 3 页 共 6 页究表明，单纯的暴露效应，也被称为熟悉原则，会激发我们的决定。这是一种有益的心理机制，可以帮
助我们保持精力充沛，并将注意力集中在其他事情上。习惯新事物需要努力，而且可能会让人筋疲力
尽。)”以及最后一段“We can broaden the zone of familiarity bit by bit. If we think of familiarity as something
that can expand, we can consider changing the conditions in and around our lives to make more space for our
preferences to take root and grow gently. From here, we will start to make decisions, drawing from an ever-
deepening pool of valuable options.(我们可以一点一点地扩大熟悉的范围。如果我们认为熟悉是一种可以扩
展的东西，我们可以考虑改变我们生活中的环境，为我们的喜好提供更多的空间，让它生根发芽。从这
里开始，我们将从越来越多的有价值的选择中做出决定。)”可知，文章主要讨论了熟悉性原则对我们决
策的影响，以及如何利用这一原则进行创新和拓展。文章强调了我们可以逐步扩大熟悉的范围，通过改
变生活中的条件，为我们的偏好提供更多的空间，使其能够生根并温和地成长。因此，选项 C“Gently
Expand Your Familiarity Zone(慢慢扩大你的熟悉范围)”最能概括文章的主题。故选C。
七选五
【导语】这是一篇说明文。大城市单间公寓甚是普遍。其虽空间小，但功能俱全。本文作者就如何在这
狭小的空间里做到既工作有成效又睡眠有保障，把从网上搜集的建议和大家分享。
36.答案D。【考查前后语义衔接和连贯】。 根据第一段第二句，“可能就比较难从工作中抽离，好好睡
一觉了。”在单间公寓里，这样生活工作就更难了。紧接着，就单间公寓做出诠释和说明。所以答案选
择D项。
37.答案A。【考查前后语义衔接和连贯】。 前面一句提到墨菲床，37空又出现he, 所以该空应该是一个
人物。墨菲床是用威廉·墨菲的名字命名的。所以答案选择A项。
38.答案B。【考查前后语义衔接和连贯】。 本段文字前面讲到严格划分睡眠区。而38空后所讲的是床
并不是完全用于睡觉，同样可以用来读书或者你可以做一些小事来将白天的任务和睡眠分开。所以说，
严格区分这并不总是可行的。此处使用半否定。
39.答案F。【考查段尾句】。 本段主题两个，一是保证空气清新二是减少光源。本段第一第二句紧扣第
一个主题；第三句以及本空就应该围绕第二个主题。本空分析原因——为什么要关掉这些设备。
40.答案E。【考查前后语义衔接和连贯】。 本段先给出建议——被子不能不叠。然后分析原因，此空可
能的选项会是C项和E项。但试想，单间公寓存储空间小，那我们应该怎么做？我们完全可以不买无用
的东西或者是购买多功用的东西就可以了。而不是通过叠被子这件事情来实现增加存储空间。不叠被
子，只会让人觉得你懒和不爱整洁，但同时也会增加房间的局促感。
