A
Each year, I examine new consumer technology to identify innovations that could genuinely affect your daily
life. Here are the trends to watch in 2026.
We’ll finally be talking to our computers
While voice assistants have failed to convince people to talk to computers, the rise of AIchatbots offers tech
giants new hope. Companies are developing voice-based virtual companions — a pair of headphones solves the
issue of public-use awkwardness. This makes interaction far more engaging. However, it also poses risks for
vulnerable users who may develop unhealthy attachments.
The search continues for a successor to the smartphone
While smartphones remain dominant, AI advancement is pushing tech companies toward the next major
personal computing platform. Some are heavily investing in smart glasses,which have gained some market
acceptance. At the same time, a leading company is focusing on phone innovation, with reports of a book — like
foldable phone that functions as a compact tablet.
AI is changing how we browse the web
It’s now almost unavoidable. A major search engine frequently leads with AI-generated answers, and chatbots
have been integrated into apps. Several web browsers also now include built-in AI assistants to answer questions.
The trend of web AI- ification (人工智能化) will continue.
Self-driving taxis are becoming widespread
Robot taxis are pushing forward with major expansions despite recent challenges. A great deal of the initial
public concern has gone away. Robot taxis have been operating in cities likePhoenix, Los Angeles, and Austin,
which have begun allowing freeway rides. Several companies are advancing steadily in this field. If you haven’t
ridden in one yet, add it to your must-do list this year.
1．What feature of voice-based AI is a double-edged sword?
A．Using in public.
B．Strong attractiveness.
C．Need for the Internet.
D．Understanding emotions.
2．What trend does a search engine using AI show?
A．Tech challenges.
B．User preference shift.
C．AI integrating into online service.
D．Privacy improvement.
3．Which does the author highly suggest we experience in person in 2026?
A．AI chatbots.
B．Smart glasses.
C．Foldable phones.
D．Self-driving taxis.
B
Every December, my house turns into the island of unwanted gifts. People are kind, but there are only so
many candied nut tins, caramel popcorn towers, and sugar cookies one family can consume.
Let us not forget my wedding-regift incident. We received a very expensive electric teakettle. We don’t drink
tea, so we returned it to the store and got S75. Later, the store manager called, furious, accusing us of trading them a
piece of junk. Someone had bought the kettle and discovered an obviously used cut-glass Easter basket inside. It
turns out that person had regifted it to us. We paid the store back and were handed that ugly Easter basket.
This made me wonder: Is regifting a form of rudeness? To find out, let’s explore both sides of the regifting
debate.
First of all, humans have been regifting since the dawn of time. Caveman A gives Caveman B a rock;
Caveman B gives it to Caveman C． We call that anthropology (人类学). Modern life demands efficiency. Why let
something sit in a cabinet? Why not give that brand-new item to someone who will actually use it? It’s economical.
It’s environmentally friendly. It’s basically the circle of life.
And yet, regifting is a high-risk sport. It requires memory and strategy. Give the gift to the wrong person, and
suddenly people are texting: “Didn’t I give this to you?” Regifting can go terribly wrong if you misjudge a person’s
taste, so you should not regift within the same social ecosystem, while also carefully removing all the evidence
(cards, receipts, etc.). Ultimately, the key is to match the gift to the person — so never give spa products to someone
who hates lotions (乳液).
My official ruling? Regifting is not rude. Thoughtlessness is rude. Waste is rude. But giving something new,
unused and suited to someone else’s preferences is generosity in its most practical, planet- friendly form. So go
ahead — regift joyfully, wisely and guilt-free. After all, someone out there really needs those candied nuts.
4．What does the underlined word “furious” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Confused.
B．Frustrated.
C．Annoyed.
D．Surprised.
5．Why does the author mention “Caveman” in the text?
A．To trace back the long history of regifting.
B．To provide examples of human efficiency.
C．To encourage the proper action of regifting.
D．To explain the nature of ancient anthropology.
6．Which of the following might be a successful regifting?
A．Sending a spa product to a colleague.
B．Returning a costly gift to a local store.
C．Sharing fresh candies with a neighbor.
D．Giving a suitable scarf to a new friend.
7．What is a suitable title for the text?
A．Does regifting make sense?
B．Is regifting actually rude?
C．What’s the power of regifting?
D．Why is regifting high-risk?
C
Rise with the sun and rest at sunset — his was the way of life for our ancestors. Thanks to artificial light,
which improves visibility at night, we can enjoy a much safer society and around-the-clock productivity. For
wildlife, however, studies have shown it disturbs animals’ natural sleep cycles, affects amphibian ( 两栖类的)
reproduction and throws migrating birds off course.
New research in Frontiers in Plant Science investigated how artificial light impacts plant-insect relationships.
Researchers from Chinese Academy of Sciences noticed tree leaves in cities typically showed fewer signs of insect
damage than those outside of cities, so they analyzed 5,500 leaf samples from two tree species throughout Beijing.
Researchers found more artificial light in a given area meant tougher leaves. And the tougher the leaf, the less
evidence of hungry insects. They don’t fully understand why, but assume that trees under artificial light at night
might be extending their photosynthesis (光合作用) time.
“Plants distribute their limited resources, such as nutrients, water and energy, among various functions like
growth, reproduction and defense, depending on the environment. Light can affect how plants use resources,” says
Ellen Cieraad, a plant ecologist from New Zealand. “Since plants use light for growth, artificial night light could be
unnaturally increasing the time trees spend on photosynthesis, allocating more resources to chemical compounds that
make leaves tougher.”
Changes in plants, and in interactions between plants and animals, can significantly impact the entire urban
ecosystem. Herbivorous insects, which rely on leaves for food, may struggle to survive, thus breaking the food
chain. Fewer herbivorous insects could lead to declines in predators like birds, affecting biodiversity. Insects also act
as pollinators (传粉媒介) and eat dying plants, supporting healthy soil and plant life that benefit humans, as plants
provide shade and reduce heat trapped in cities.
Moving forward, researchers are committed to refining their discovery, aiming to guide people to take
corresponding actions. They will cooperate with urban planners to take effective measures, like applying special
devices to lights, to establish practical guidelines for cities to balance lighting and ecological health.
8．What influence does artificial light bring according to the text?
A．It hardens tree leaves.
B．It shortens animals’ sleep hours.
C．It lights up birds’ migrating routes.
D．It increases amphibian reproduction rates.
9．Why is Ellen Cieraad quoted in paragraph 3?
A．To raise a concern.
B．To introduce a concept.
C．To support an assumption.
D．To clarify a misunderstanding.
10．Which of the following best summarizes the phenomenon in paragraph 4?
A．Time heals all wounds.
B．Nature always finds a way.
C．A chain is as strong as its weakest link.
D．A small move may affect the bigger picture.
11．What will the following research probably focus on?
A．Enhancing soil quality.
B．Improving urban biodiversity.
C．Selecting plant species in cities.
D．Reducing impacts of nighttime light.

Last Sunday morning, I was sitting on the sofa in my parent’s living room. Before me on the tea table was a
worn journal of thin and discolored pages. It was my grandfather’s journal and now belongs to my father. My
grandfather had passed away in the months leading up to my birth. I never got to visit the places he had frequented
and the people who had been a part of his life’s journey.
I was now about to enter his world, through the words he had left behind. Within minutes, I was captivated by
the power of the written words. In the magical script before me, I was transported to another age when food was an
everyday art, planned, prepared and enjoyed in the company of others, and a time when people had the heart to pause
their own lives to embrace each other’s struggles. All this was conveyed to me in the beauty of the words that flowed
together to connect with the writer’s mind and understand the world they lived in.
This kind of writing seems to be lost on us today. We have gotten used to writing in bite-sized pieces for a
public looking for entertainment, and hungry for information. No wonder, there are nearly 200 million bloggers on
the Internet and a new blog is created somewhere in the world every half a second. Instead of adding to our
collective wisdom, most of these writings reflect the superficiality (肤浅) and impatience of our day and age.
This not only robs us of the skill of writing impressive essays, it also prevents us from exploring what is
indeed important. Writing humbles us in a way that is vital for our character growth, by reminding us about the
limits of the self and our appropriate place in the vast flow of life.
Writing frees us by helping us explore the unknown so that we really open up to the magic of the world
around us. I saw all of this in the writing of my grandfather. And I’ve seen it again and again in the writings of the
greatest thinkers of humanity. Their writing reflects deep thought on issues of human importance.
12．According to the author, what is a characteristic of the age described in his grandfather’s journal?
A．Mutual support.
B．Artistic food.
C．Popular diaries.
D．Public entertainment.
13．What is the primary purpose of the third paragraph?
A．To give internet statistics.
B．To blame the public’s tastes.
C．To promote traditional media.
D．To contrast past and present writing.
14．What message does the author convey in the last two paragraphs?
A．Writing skills ensure success.
B．Writing documents external reality.
C．Only great thinkers’ works are valuable. D．Writing shapes character and perspective.
15．What is the author’s attitude towards his grandfather’s writing?
A．Critical and dismissive.
B．Admiring and respectful.
C．Indifferent and neutral.
D．Confused and uncertain.
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。
Bathrooms are naturally damp and steamy. Even with regular cleaning, moisture (潮湿) stays around. Among
work, family, and a social life, cleaning every wall hard daily is almost impossible. And that’s exactly when mold
(霉菌) takes the opportunity to grow.
Recently, a friend noticed yellow stuff falling down her bathroom walls. Naturally, I panicked and wanted
answers fast. 16 Its tiny particles (颗粒) float through the air and settle in damp spots. Once there, mold
spreads rapidly.
17 Certain types can cause allergic reactions, breathing issues, and long-lasting health problems if
left unchecked. Bathrooms, with their constant moisture, are prime breeding grounds. Mold grows well in warm,
damp conditions. After a shower, steam turns to water on walls and ceilings. 18 Mold often starts in
corners or near pipe parts, then spreads quickly if ignored.
The key to prevention is controlling moisture. Let fresh air into your bathroom by opening a window or
running an exhaust fan during and after showers. 19 If mold already appears, act fast. For surfaces that
don’t absorb water, a bleach and water mix works well. For hard-to remove mold or chemical sensitivities, vinegar
and a hydrogen-based cleaning liquid are safer choices. Always wear gloves and a mask to protect your skin and
lungs.
Keeping your bathroom clean and dry is the best defense. Let fresh air in regularly, clean frequently, and
consider a machine that reduces dampness in damp areas. If the problem gets out of hand, calling professionals is
wise. 20
A．Mold isn’t just ugly — it’s dangerous.
B．Without proper airflow, this moisture stays around.
C．Even with good airflow, moisture doesn’t go away.
D．Mold grows wherever moisture, meets organic matter.
E．Wipe surfaces sometimes, especially areas easy to get wet.
F．Dry surfaces regularly, especially those likely to get water drops.
G．Maintaining a clean environment ensures a healthy home for everyone.

47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Coach Harper announced the school’s Spring Relay and invited families to join practices so everyone could
learn the meaning of teamwork. My best friend Ruby immediately pulled me into signing up with Lucas, who was
always athletic and energetic. My dad promised to attend every practice, calling himself our “team booster”.
On the first day, practices soon filled with energy. Ruby’s dad, Lucas’s mom, and my dad cheered for us.
Coach Harper taught us basic techniques, such as gentle stretching movements and steady breathing techniques. I
wasn’t sure how well I could run, but joining with friends and family felt like stepping into a warm adventure.
After our first training session, Coach Harper saw my dad carrying a special whistle in his hand, which was
given by my granddad, a retired PE teacher. Then he borrowed it for our practice.
Before each run, Coach Harper blew the whistle regularly, as if rhythm helped him guide us. I watched this
habit with a small smile, and it reminded me of my granddad. Passing the baton (接力棒) felt tricky at first, but my
dad kept repeating, “Trust the hands waiting for you.”
Coach Harper added new tasks as we improved. First, we ran in a slow turn. Then we jumped lightly on soft
ground before giving the baton. Ruby laughed the whole time, and Lucas wrote down our times. Parents helped
prepare the track and cheered for us, making me feel braver each day.
One afternoon, Coach Harper announced that the official relay would include a “family-assist moment”, but
he didn’t say what form it would take. Ruby guessed cheering signs, and Lucas guessed little bells. My dad showed a
yellow ribbon (丝带) he planned to wave on race day and said that he would run “one heroic lap”, which I treated as
a joke. I only knew our practices became smoother each week.
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。
