For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear
winner. Like a border conflict between neighbouring countries, the parent teen war is about boundaries
(边界): Where is the line between what I control and what you do?
Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is
because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the
only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it
in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.
In this article, I’ll describe three no win situations that commonly arise between teens and
parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no win situation is quarrels over
unimportant things. Examples include the colour of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the
preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to
sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other
admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It
大庆铁人中学2025级高一年级上学期期中考试英语试题 第 5 页 共 13 页doesn’t matter what the topic is — politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg —
the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish
to be considered an authority — someone who actually knows something —and therefore to command
respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the
other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.
39. Why does the author compare the parent teen war to a border conflict?
A. Both can continue for generations.
B. Both are about where to draw the line.
C. Neither has any clear winner.
D. Neither can be put to an end.
40. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. The teens accuse (指责) their parents of misleading them.
B. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.
C. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.
D. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.
41. Why do parents and teens want to be right?
A. To give orders to the other.
B. To know more than the other.
C. To gain respect from the other.
D. To get the other to behave properly.
42. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A. Solutions to the parent teen problems.
B. Examples of the parent teen war.
C. Causes of the parent teen conflicts.
D. Future of the parent teen relationship.

At top universities, there’s a phenomenon known as “Stanford Duck Syndrome (综合征)”. Like ducks,
students appear to move gracefully (优雅地). However, beneath the surface, they’re kicking hopelessly
to keep up.
大庆铁人中学2025级高一年级上学期期中考试英语试题 第 6 页 共 13 页Experts from Stanford’s Health Services explored this troubling trend: during the day, many
Stanford students are seen socializing in cafés, seemingly without any stress or the need to study.
However, at night, they start studying, sometimes for the entire night, trying to maintain the image of
effortless success. This comes at a high price: tiredness and anxiety are widespread. Furthermore, it
leads to a common wrong idea: true talents achieve success effortlessly, while those working hard are
less intelligent.
In an effort to challenge this misconception ( 误 解 ), researchers designed an experiment.
Participants were asked to observe a series of colors carefully while scientists tracked their brain
activity throughout the process. The experiment was divided into two parts: one with easily recognized
colors and the other with colors that were quite similar, requiring more effort to recognize. As the
difficulty of the task increased, there was a noticeable increase in brain activity, particularly in areas
linked to memory and abstract (抽象的) reasoning.
The study shows that as tasks require more effort, more areas of the brain become engaged.
Growth doesn’t come from talent alone but from the continuous application of effort. Our brain
functions like a muscle. Without effort, even our inborn talents will disappear over time.
This pushes us to reconsider the culture behind that might lead to this phenomenon. Instead of focusing
too much on outcomes or singing high praise for inborn talents, we should emphasize (强调) the
learning process and continuous improvement. By encouraging a culture that values effort, we can help
students realize that intelligence is not fixed but grows through hard work. Such a change would not
only reduce the pressures related to the “Stanford Duck Syndrome”, but also have a big effect on
personal development and the future of education.
43. What phenomenon does the “Stanford Duck Syndrome” probably describe?
A. Choosing effort over well-being.
B. Relieving (缓解) stress through social activities.
C. Showing graceful images to attract others.
D. Hiding hard work to appear naturally gifted.
44.How does the experiment in paragraph 3 challenge misconception?
A. By showing effort activates (激活) the brain activity.
大庆铁人中学2025级高一年级上学期期中考试英语试题 第 7 页 共 13 页B. By proving focus improves brain function.
C. By linking color recognition to intelligence.
D. By connecting careful observation with talent.
45.What is the author’s main concern about “Stanford Duck Syndrome”?
A. It values the learning process over outcomes.
B. It causes stress and false ideas about success.
C. It prevents students from recognizing their talents.
D. It makes students value socializing more than studying.
46.Which of the following might the author agree with?
A. Fortune prefers those with a clear mind.
B. Hard work is the seed that grows into success.
C. Work in silence and let success make the noise.
D. Keep moving forward even when no one sees it.
D
Using a raised eyebrow or smile, people with speech or physical disabilities can now operate
their Android-powered smartphones without using their hands, Google said on Thursday.
Two new tools put machine learning and front-facing cameras on smartphones to work,
identifying face and eye movements. Users can look at their phone screens and select a task by smiling,
raising eyebrows, opening their mouths, or looking to the left, right or up.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that 61 million adults in the United States
live with disabilities, which has pushed Google, Apple and Microsoft to make products and services
more accessible to them. “Every day, people use voice instructions, like ‘Hey Google’, or their hands to
operate their phones,” the tech giant Google said in a blog post. “However, that’s not always possible
for people with serious physical or speech disabilities.”
The changes are the result of two new features: One is called “Camera Switches”, which lets
people use their faces instead of taps to interact with smartphones. The other is Project Activate, a new
Android application which allows people to use those gestures to start an action, like having a phone
play a recorded phrase, send text, or make a call. The free Activate app is available in Australia, Britain,
大庆铁人中学2025级高一年级上学期期中考试英语试题 第 8 页 共 13 页Canada and the United States at the Google Play Store.
Apple, Google and Microsoft have kept rolling out inventions that make Internet technology
more accessible to people with disabilities or who find that age has made some tasks, such as reading,
more difficult. Voice-instructed digital assistants built into speakers and smartphones can enable people
with sight or movement challenges to tell computers what to do. There is software that identifies text on
web pages or in images and then reads it aloud, as well as automatic generation of captions that display
what is said in videos. Apple built “AssistiveTouch” into the software powering its smartwatches. It lets
touchscreen displays be controlled by sensing movements such as finger pinches or hand clenches.
47．What is the main role of the two new tools?
A．Taking sharper photographs with a phone.
B．Using smartphones with face gestures.
C．Curing people’s speech or physical disabilities.
D．Increasing the fun of playing with smartphones.
48．What do we know about the Project Activate app?
A．It’s sold at a high price.
B．It’s mainly used to send texts.
C．It’s instructed by voice.
D．It’s being used in a few countries.
49．What does the underlined part “rolling out” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A．Picking out. B．Referring to. C．Bringing out. D．Reacting to.
50．What’s the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph?
A．To promote Android-powered smartphones.
B．To encourage more movements suitable for the disabled.
C．To explain the problems disabled smartphone users have.
D．To introduce some other inventions benefiting the disabled.

A robot is chatting to an elderly British man in his bedroom. 51 Perhaps because of the
man’s age, the robot starts asking him about his memories of the Second World War. The elderly man
大庆铁人中学2025级高一年级上学期期中考试英语试题 第 9 页 共 13 页goes on to tell how his father was in the army, and he hasn’t seen him for years.
52 The behavior is the product of the Caresses project which aims to design robots that can
take into consideration the cultural background of the person they’re talking to. The man is British, so
the robot thinks he will be interested in such a topic, regardless of (不顾) the man’s personal feelings.
Cultural robotics is part of a wider movement to make robotics more culturally inclusive. 53
For example, because the Internet is mainly in English, large language models are primarily trained on
English text — with the cultural biases (偏见) existing. Similarly, the move to make robots more
culturally sensitive means well, but people are worried about where it could lead, considering the
diverse cultural preferences across different social groups.
Humans from different cultures react differently to robots. For example, different cultures have
different expectations around personal space, and this affects how far they prefer robots to stand from
them. 54 People are more able to understand a robot if it uses the facial expressions they are
familiar with.
Culture is a complex concept, open to various explanations. 55 To avoid designing robots
based on stereotypes (刻板印象), we will need to be more thoughtful.
A．It has a pleasantly bright voice.
B．Does this topic really hold a person’s interest?
C．However, concerns about this have been raised.
D．This practice is widely recognized across cultures.
E．Therefore, a one-size-fits-all approach is impractical.
F．Why does a robot mention a topic that may cause pain?
G．Different cultures interpret facial expressions differently too.

Tom is an odd sculptor who always gains unique creativity from nature. One morning, he was

his garden. 72 (draw) by what he saw, Tom decided to sculpt it. He took a photograph of the frog

sculpted a huge stone frog 74 he titled Nature.
The sculpture 75 (quick) became the talk of the village and there was a heated debate
about the sculpture. Some people commented that the sculpture was somewhat a 76 (reflect) of the
creative author’s inner world which was invisible to us, while those who opposed it thought it was ugly.
If this was the future of the art world, it would be 77 misadventure for art.
The local formal organization 78 (subscribe) to the former opinion contacted Tom and
invited him to put the sculpture on the show titled How Natural Resources Influence Our Behaviour.
Tom was rather happy to accept it. The show wound up with Tom’s sculpture winning the 79

The sculpture reminds us that art is not only based 80 human creativity, but also present in
our daily activities.
