Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
[2026·福州模拟] Search engines, virtual worlds, the Internet—have you ever get the feeling that you're living in a science fiction fantasy Well indeed you are. For more than a century, inventors have been driven to create what sci fi writers have boldly imagined before.
As a boy in India, Amit Singhal dreamed of space. “Those were my favorite times as a little child on a hot summer day, sitting in a room watching Star Trek,” he says. Singhal now works at a technology company, where he is in charge of maintaining its search algorithms(算法). “But my main job is to dream about what searching would look like a few years from now,” he says. And what do those dreams look like Singhal was fascinated by the way Star Trek characters simply talk to a computer to find out about almost anything, so now he's working on the company voice recognition search products.
Singhal isn't unique. Scratch the surface (作肤浅的探讨) of many inventors in Silicon Valley, and there's a kid who loved science fiction underneath. “Teenagers read these things. They fall in love with the novel; they get inspired by the technology and they keep it in the back of their minds till they're about 30, and then they build it,” technology forecaster(预言家) Paul Saffo says.
The grandfather of science fiction is probably Jules Verne, whose novels have inspired whole generations of people. And ever since Verne, there's been a long list of inventions that come from science fiction. Buck Rogers inspired a generation of scientists excited about space exploration. William Gibson dreamed up the Internet while writing Neuromancer on a manual typewriter. Neal Stephenson predicted virtual worlds in his novel Snow Crash. One of his readers Philip Rosedale, built the virtual world Second Life based on the “Metaverse” from the novel.
“Science fiction helps engineers see the meaning of their work,” says Snow Crash author Stephenson. “It makes it possible for these people to see a realized vision of what all of their efforts could eventually lead to.”
(　 　)1.What can we learn about Singhal
A.He has shown less enthusiasm for space.
B.He has strongly criticized the movie Star Trek.

D.It should be based on scientific facts.
(　 　)3.How is Paragraph 4 mainly developed
A.By presenting writers' achievements.
B.By analyzing the reasons for technological progress.
C.By making comparisons between fiction and reality.
D.By giving examples of innovations driven by science fiction.
(　 　)4.What is the best title for the text

[2026·岳阳模拟] Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a science fiction concept; it is rapidly integrating into the fabric of our workplaces. From automated customer service chatbots to algorithms that analyze vast amounts of data, AI is changing the way businesses operate. But what does this mean for the future of work
One of the most significant impacts of AI is the potential for job displacement. Routine tasks that are rule based, such as data entry and some aspects of manufacturing, are at high risk of being automated. A study by McKinsey Global Institute predicts that by 2030, up to 375 million workers globally may need to switch occupational categories due to automation. This displacement is not limited to low skilled jobs. Even some white collar professions, like certain types of financial analysis, are vulnerable(易受影响的) as AI algorithms can process and analyze financial data more quickly and accurately than humans.
However, AI also has the potential to create new job opportunities. As AI systems become more widespread, there is a growing need for professionals who can develop, maintain, and improve these technologies. Jobs in AI research, machine learning engineering, and data science are on the rise. These new roles require high level technical skills, often in fields like computer science, mathematics, and statistics.
The challenge lies in preparing the workforce for this shift. There is a need for reskilling and upskilling programs to help workers transition into new roles. Governments, educational institutions, and businesses must work together to provide accessible and relevant training. For instance, some companies are already offering in house training programs to teach employees basic coding and data analysis skills.
In conclusion, AI is a double edged sword for the future of work. While it poses a threat of job displacement, it also offers the promise of new and more fulfilling career paths. The key is to manage this transition effectively, ensuring that the benefits of AI are shared widely.
(　 　)5.According to the McKinsey Global Institute's prediction, what might happen by 2030
A.AI will replace all human workers.
B.375 million workers will lose their jobs.
C.White collar workers will be at full employment.
D.Numerous workers may need to change occupations.
(　 　)6.What new job opportunities does AI bring
A.Jobs in traditional manufacturing.
B.Positions in AI related technical fields.
C.Low skilled customer service jobs.
D.Manual labor jobs in construction.
(　 　)7.What is the key to dealing with the impact of AI on the future of work
A.Letting the market adjust naturally.
B.Effective management of the transition.
C.Workers finding new jobs on their own.
D.Banning AI development to protect jobs.
(　 　)8.Which of the following would be the best title for the text
A.AI: Transforming the Future of Work
B.AI: A Threat to the Future of Workplace
C.Negative Impact of AI on Job Market

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A Journey Through Europe's Iconic Cities
Europe is a continent rich in history, culture, and architectural wonders. From ancient ruins to modern masterpieces, each city has its own unique charm. Let's embark on a virtual tour of four of Europe's most captivating destinations.
Rome, Italy
Often referred to as the “Eternal City”, Rome, the heart of the Roman Empire and dating back to 753 BCE, is a living museum. The Colosseum, built in 80 CE, could hold 80,000 spectators for gladiatorial shows. Another iconic landmark is the Pantheon, a former Roman temple, which, with its massive concrete dome, once the world's largest for over 1,300 years, amazes with its interior. Vatican City within Rome, housing St. Peter's Basilica and the Sistine Chapel, famous for Michelangelo's ceiling paintings, is a must visit attraction.
Paris, France
Known as the “City of Light”, Paris is a global center for art, fashion, and culture. The Eiffel Tower, built in 1889 by Gustave Eiffel, is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world. The Louvre Museum, housed in a former royal palace, is the world's largest art museum. It is home to countless masterpieces, including Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci and Venus de Milo. Notre Dame Cathedral, though damaged by fire in 2019, remains an iconic example of Gothic architecture. Parisian streets, cafés, and the Seine River add to its charm.
Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona is a city that combines modern architecture with a rich cultural heritage. Antoni Gaudí, one of the most famous architects in the world, left his unfinished masterpiece. Sagrada Familia, under construction since 1882, and another unique and intricate design from him, Park Güell, inspired by nature, were made UNESCO World Heritage sites. Besides, the Gothic Quarter, with its ancient buildings, and the city's beautiful beaches are popular among locals and tourists alike.
Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Amsterdam is famous for its canals, bikes, and liberal culture. Its canal system, a UNESCO site, consists of 165 canals and over 1,200 bridges. Taking a canal cruise is a great way to see the city's unique architecture, including the gabled houses that line the canals. The Van Gogh Museum houses the largest collection of the artist's works, providing a fascinating insight into the life and work of this famous artist. The Anne Frank House preserves the hiding place where she wrote her famous diary during World War Ⅱ. With more bikes than people, Amsterdam truly embodies a unique lifestyle.

[2026·十堰模拟] Every year, as many as 3,000 dogs from all over the world gather in New York City to compete in the famous Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show that usually lasts two days. Established in 1877, it's the oldest show of its kind. It's also one of the biggest, drawing crowds of dog lovers. Behind the scenes, Paul Campanella manages the whole operation.
Campanella is senior director of event operations for the Westminster Kennel Club(WKC). In 2025, show events were held at Madison Square Garden and the Jacob Javits Convention Center, both in New York City. Campanella's team worked with the venues to determine everything from lights to decorations to floral(花的) arrangements, while working closely with the television networks that broadcast the show. The competition takes place once a year. Planning for the following year begins the moment the show ends. One of Campanella's biggest responsibilities is handling the budget. Since the WKC is a nonprofit organization, it's important to stick to a budget.
Campanella started working for the WKC on a part time basis as head of security in 2001.At the time, he worked for the New York City Police Department. When he retired in 2013, the WKC hired him full time. His job was to create two new events for the annual show. For Campanella, this was more than a career move. It was a dream opportunity. He's loved dogs and dog shows since he was 12, when his parents gave him a dog named Starr. Today, he serves as a judge for other events and also shows his dog, Nigel.
Although Campanella majored in criminal justice as a college student, he believes a business degree is the best foundation for a career in event operations. Success in the field also requires specific skills. “You have to be very organized and be able to organize other people,” Campanella says. He also notes it's important to know how to “work with numbers” to negotiate contracts with the different companies hired for the event.
(　B　)1.What can we learn about the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show
A.It belongs to Campanella.
B.It is held annually.
C.It lasts over a week.
D.It is a local event.
(　C　)2.Which best describes Campanella's 2025 event operations

[2026·江门模拟] Boys grow up to be engineers and computer scientists. Girls become nurses and teachers. That seems like an out of date notion(观念) in a world where many students are encouraged to explore a wide range of careers. But the stereotypes(模式化的思想) continue.
Aptitude tests, which seek to measure students' potential in a particular field, may be one way to help students decide their career paths.
To understand how these tools may lead a particular student toward a field they may not have considered—or even heard of—researchers at the University of Missouri conducted an independent review. The study compared 7,222 high school students' natural aptitudes with their self reported interests in four areas: manufacturing(制造业), computer technology, construction, and healthcare. For healthcare, the study looked at both a student's capacity and interest in direct patient care jobs and more technical jobs in the healthcare industry. The study included 3,619 females and 3,603 males.
“If you just look at people's interest scores, they fall into areas which I call what they are exposed to, what they can see based on their life experiences. Many young people are exposed to very little,” said Rich Feller, a professor at Colorado State University who worked on the study. Students' different life experiences create an exposure gap, he said, that aptitude tests can help bridge.
The study found that more than four times as many girls were found to have potential in manufacturing, more than seven times more in construction and technical healthcare fields, and two times more in computer technology than an interest list alone would show. What's more, males were more than 1.6 times more likely to show promise in patient care positions.
“It opens up all kinds of opportunities for students who have been less fortunate and have been stereotyped,” Feller said. “We've got great potential that we're not tapping into.”
(　C　)5.What does the author think about the career prejudice mentioned in Para.1
A.It is deeply rooted in some truth.
B.It is encouraged by a majority of people.
C.It still affects students' choices of career.
D.It stops the popularity of a wide range of careers.
(　D　)6.Why did researchers at the University of Missouri conduct the study
A.To improve students' career ability.
B.To assess the reliability of aptitude tests.
C.To have a deep insight into students' interests.
D.To understand the function of aptitude tests.
(　D　)7.What does the underlined phrase “an exposure gap” in Para.4 refer to
A.A low score in the interest test.
B.A decreased relation to society.
C.A huge difference among students.
D.A lack of understanding of diverse careers.
(　A　)8.What does Feller suggest in the last paragraph
A.Aptitude tests are beneficial.
B.The future plan must be examined first.
C.Studies need more participants.
D.A narrower interest list would be better.
【文本大意】文章主要介绍了关于学生能力倾向测验的研究,旨在说明通过能力倾向测验可以帮助学生发现他们可能未曾考虑或甚至未曾听说过的职业领域,并指出学生的不同生活经历会造成认知差距,而能力倾向测验有助于弥补这一差距。
5.C　细节理解题。根据第一段“Boys grow up to be... continue.(男孩长大后会成为工程师和计算机科学家,女孩则成为护士和教师。在如今这个鼓励众多学生探索广泛职业领域的世界里,这种观念似乎已经过时。然而,这些刻板印象依然存在。)”可知,职业偏见依然存在,也就意味着它仍在影响学生的职业选择。故选C。
6.D　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To understand how these tools may... an independent review.(为了了解这些测试工具如何引导学生进入他们可能从未考虑过甚至从未听说过的领域,密苏里大学的研究人员进行了一项独立评估。)”可知,密苏里大学的研究人员进行这项研究是为了了解能力倾向测验工具如何引导学生进入他们可能从未考虑过甚至从未听说过的领域,即了解能力倾向测验的作用。故选D。
7.D　词义猜测题。根据画线短语上文“‘If you just look at people's... who worked on the study.(‘如果你只看人们的兴趣得分,就会发现他们倾向于那些我称之为基于自身生活经历所接触到、所能看到的领域。很多年轻人接触的东西非常有限,’ 科罗拉多州立大学参与此项研究的教授Rich Feller说道。)”可推测,很多年轻人接触的东西有限,所以画线短语“an exposure gap”指的是对不同职业缺乏了解。故选D。
8.A　细节理解题。根据最后一段“‘It opens up all kinds of opportunities for students who have been less fortunate and have been stereotyped,’ Feller said. ‘We've got great potential that we're not tapping into.’(Feller说:‘这为那些不太幸运且一直被刻板印象束缚的学生开启了各种机会。我们有着巨大的潜力尚未挖掘。’)”可知,Feller提到能力倾向测验为那些被刻板印象束缚的学生开启了各种机会,挖掘了未被开发的潜力,这表明他认为能力倾向测验是有益的。故选A。

【文本大意】文章主要讲述了郭山秋韵从美国求学到回国返乡追梦的故事,展现了新一代留学生价值选择的转变历程。
1.braver　考查形容词比较级。句意:15岁时,郭山秋韵决定去美国读中学,8年后,她做出了一个更勇敢的决定——回到中国,在农村开始自己的事业。根据空前“even”可知,此处隐含与之前决定的比较, brave的比较级为braver。故填braver。
2.who　考查定语从句。句意:与她父母那一代人不同,他们渴望搬到城市或出国,郭山秋韵和她的丈夫选择在风景如画的安徽省黄山市汤家庄村追寻自己的梦想。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为“people in her parents' generation”,指人,关系词在从句中作主语。故填who。
3.to pursue　考查非谓语动词。句意同上。choose to do sth意为“选择做某事”。故填to pursue。
4.continuing　考查非谓语动词。句意:郭山秋韵在美国本特利大学学习商业,之后在苏富比艺术学院继续学习亚洲艺术。before为介词,后接动名词作宾语。故填continuing。

6.has grown　考查时态和主谓一致。句意:自2012年以来,回国学生人数显著增加,约有340万人回国,占出国留学人员的80%以上。根据时间状语“since 2012”可知,句子时态应用现在完成时,句子主语为The number of students,所以助动词用has。故填has grown。
7.a　考查冠词。句意:根据《环球时报》2021年对中国1 281 名15至35岁人群的调查,过去五年中,认为西方国家与自己国家平等的人的比例增加了6个百分点,而崇拜西方的人的比例从37.2%下降到了8.1%。survey为可数名词单数,此处泛指“一项调查”,且survey以辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a。故填a。
8.equals　考查名词的数。句意同上。空处作as的宾语,因此equal在此处为名词,意为“同等的人”,此处理解为“与自己国家平等的国家”,对应空前的Western countries,因此用复数形式。故填equals。
9.while　考查连词。句意同第7小题。前后句之间为对比关系,应用while连接,表示“而”。故填while。
10.cultural　考查形容词。句意:郭山秋韵承认西方国家教育的益处,那里的文化、体育和科学活动有助于培养学生的技能和领导力。空处与athletic、scientific并列修饰名词activities,应用形容词cultural作定语。故填cultural。高效作业35选择性必修第四册　Unit 4　Sharing(见学生用书P69)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
[2025·八省联考] Jim Johnson, a mail carrier, was an institution in the leafy Westmoreland, Westhaven and Westover Hills neighborhoods, just north of downtown Wilmington, where he delivered much more than the mail.He knew all the kids and their pets by name; he carried in the groceries; he took note of unlocked doors, offered gardening advice, and taught more than a few young boys the art of the curveball.When he wasn't doing all that, Jim was running across a checkerboard of green lawns(草坪) to ensure the local postal service did not fall short of its daily promise.
Though the postal service is often disparaged now, the trust in local postal service lives on.In many communities, that trust is won every day when life saving medicine, greeting cards, social security checks, college acceptance letters—even the bills—appear in mailboxes in front of the houses.
After more than three decades, Jim approached his final days on the job much like any other.He drove a boxy postal truck to North DuPont Road for the first unofficial stop of the day.Butch, a dog who belonged to one of the neighbors, was waiting just like every day before.And just like every day before, he got into the jump seat and they were off.On the route, Jim and Butch had become inseparable.Now, the dog and the mailman would ride off to retirement together.At every stop, Jim accepted the parting good wishes of families that had become his own.There were tears and laughter, and hugs filled with warm memories.
It's been 33 years since Jim left the route, but we are still reminded of the deep bond established between community and letter carrier.That's what the postal service means to us.
(　C　)1.What do we know about Jim Johnson from the first paragraph
A.He's open minded.
B.He's sharp eyed.
C.He's warm hearted.
D.He's strong willed.
(　B　)2.What does the underlined word “disparaged” in Paragraph 2 mean
A.Refused.　　　　　B.Criticized.
C.Investigated. D.Suspended.
(　D　)3.What did Jim do besides daily delivery on his final days of work
A.He drove Butch to its owner.
B.He sent presents to his friends.
C.He prepared a retirement party.
D.He said goodbye to the neighbors.
(　A　)4.What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A.To remember a respected mail carrier.
B.To record an unforgettable experience.
C.To raise funds for the postal service.
D.To call for harmony in the community.
【文本大意】文章主要讲述了邮递员吉姆·约翰逊在工作中热心帮助邻居,与大家建立了深厚感情,在他退休33年后,作者依然记得他。
1.C　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“He knew all the kids... art of the curveball.(他能叫出所有孩子和他们宠物的名字;他把食品杂货搬进来;他注意到那些没锁的门,提供园艺方面的建议,还教了很多小男孩曲线球的技巧。)”可推知,吉姆·约翰逊是一个热心肠的人。故选C。
2.B　词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句“Though the postal service is often disparaged now, the trust in local postal service lives on.(虽然邮政服务现在经常disparaged,但人们对当地邮政服务的信任仍然存在。)”可知,前后句是转折关系,后半句说对当地邮政服务的信任依然存在,那么前半句应该是说邮政服务现在常被批评或抨击。由此可推知,画线词disparaged与“criticized(批评)”意思相近。故选B。
3.D　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“At every stop, Jim accepted the parting good wishes of families that had become his own.There were tears and laughter, and hugs filled with warm memories.(每到一站,吉姆都会接受那些已经成为他自己家人的告别祝福。有泪水,有欢笑,有充满温暖回忆的拥抱。)”可知,吉姆在工作的最后几天除了送货外,还向邻居们告别。故选D。
4.A　推理判断题。文章主要讲述了吉姆·约翰逊这位邮递员在工作中热心帮助邻居,与大家建立了深厚感情,在他退休33年后,作者依然记得他。由此可推知,作者写这篇文章的目的是纪念一位受人尊敬的邮递员。故选A。

I was eleven years old when I spotted my neighbor, Julie, working in her garden. She asked me if I would help her cut back the hedge(树篱) overgrown over the pathway. I agreed and my brother Josh also came along to help us. We wheeled Julie's garden bin down to the hedge. 1.　C　
We posted photos of our handiwork on “Our Malmesbury”, our local online group. The community reaction was amazing. A wheelchair user was so grateful that he didn't have to go onto the road anymore to pass the hedge. 2.　A　 Many people raised their hands to volunteer and do more to keep our town tidy.
3.　D　 Before, it looked a bit run down, but now, the place looks cleaner and tidier. Residents comment how amazing the roses look when they flower and make the place brighter.
To keep the projects going, I managed to sort funding through local businesses and associations. I used a website online that lists available grants(补助). 4.　B　 So Julie applied on our behalf. The funding has helped us obtain trees, plants and gardening equipment.
When we first started, everything was done out of my parent's garage. I started with nothing, just borrowing equipment we already had. But as time went on, donations came in from the local community. 5.　G　 It got so big that we had to move this all to Julie's.
I'm so pleased that six years later, the campaign is still in full swing. Our mission won't stop.

Last summer, I volunteered at a community center in Toronto where Ms Thompson ran weekly mental health workshops. Her 　1　 approach blended personal storytelling with scientific research, creating a safe space for healing.
One participant, 16 year old Clara, had suffered from social 　2　 for years. “I felt like a prisoner in my own mind,” she admitted. Her turning point came when Ms Thompson asked everyone to draw their emotions. Clara's sketch of a caged bird sparked a 　3　 discussion about invisible struggles.
“Mental health isn't about being ‘fixed’,” Ms Thompson emphasized. “It's about learning to 　4　 with imperfections.” She introduced mindfulness techniques, comparing anxious thoughts to passing clouds. “You don't have to 　5　 every storm,” she'd say, “just build a stronger umbrella.”
Research supports this metaphor. A 2023 Johns Hopkins study found that communities adopting 　6　 coping strategies reduced anxiety related hospital visits by 34%. Clara gradually implemented these lessons, replacing self criticism with 　7　 emotional support. Her progress wasn't smooth—some days she'd 　8　 into old habits—but the group's consistent support became her anchor.
The program's success lies in its 　9　 structure. Morning sessions focused on skill building; afternoons allowed 　10　 reflection through journaling or art. Ms Thompson cleverly used gardening as therapy—nurturing plants helped participants 　11　 patience. “You can't rush a rosebud,” she'd smile.
Cultural barriers initially caused disagreement. For example, Mr Davies 　12　 the “soft” methods until his daughter persuaded him to try. His eventual participation demonstrated mental health's universal 　13　. By summer's end, Clara presented a new drawing: The bird rested on an open cage. “It's still there,” she said, “but now I know the 　14　 isn't locked.”
Ms Thompson's final advice stayed with me: “Mental wellness isn't a destination. It's the 　15　 we maintain through life's seasons.”

[2026·十堰模拟] Every year, as many as 3,000 dogs from all over the world gather in New York City to compete in the famous Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show that usually lasts two days. Established in 1877, it's the oldest show of its kind. It's also one of the biggest, drawing crowds of dog lovers. Behind the scenes, Paul Campanella manages the whole operation.
Campanella is senior director of event operations for the Westminster Kennel Club(WKC). In 2025, show events were held at Madison Square Garden and the Jacob Javits Convention Center, both in New York City. Campanella's team worked with the venues to determine everything from lights to decorations to floral(花的) arrangements, while working closely with the television networks that broadcast the show. The competition takes place once a year. Planning for the following year begins the moment the show ends. One of Campanella's biggest responsibilities is handling the budget. Since the WKC is a nonprofit organization, it's important to stick to a budget.
Campanella started working for the WKC on a part time basis as head of security in 2001.At the time, he worked for the New York City Police Department. When he retired in 2013, the WKC hired him full time. His job was to create two new events for the annual show. For Campanella, this was more than a career move. It was a dream opportunity. He's loved dogs and dog shows since he was 12, when his parents gave him a dog named Starr. Today, he serves as a judge for other events and also shows his dog, Nigel.
Although Campanella majored in criminal justice as a college student, he believes a business degree is the best foundation for a career in event operations. Success in the field also requires specific skills. “You have to be very organized and be able to organize other people,” Campanella says. He also notes it's important to know how to “work with numbers” to negotiate contracts with the different companies hired for the event.
(　 　)1.What can we learn about the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show
A.It belongs to Campanella.
B.It is held annually.
C.It lasts over a week.
D.It is a local event.
(　 　)2.Which best describes Campanella's 2025 event operations
A.They were flexible.
B.They were cost ineffective.
C.They required careful planning.
D.They lacked local support.
(　 　)3.What was Campanella's childhood dream
A.Attending dog shows.
B.Becoming a policeman.
C.Learning criminal justice.
D.Judging animal contests.
(　 　)4.What does the text focus on concerning Campanella
A.His love for animals.
B.His job responsibilities.
C.His charity events.
D.His unique personality.

[2026·江门模拟] Boys grow up to be engineers and computer scientists. Girls become nurses and teachers. That seems like an out of date notion(观念) in a world where many students are encouraged to explore a wide range of careers. But the stereotypes(模式化的思想) continue.
Aptitude tests, which seek to measure students' potential in a particular field, may be one way to help students decide their career paths.
To understand how these tools may lead a particular student toward a field they may not have considered—or even heard of—researchers at the University of Missouri conducted an independent review. The study compared 7,222 high school students' natural aptitudes with their self reported interests in four areas: manufacturing(制造业), computer technology, construction, and healthcare. For healthcare, the study looked at both a student's capacity and interest in direct patient care jobs and more technical jobs in the healthcare industry. The study included 3,619 females and 3,603 males.
“If you just look at people's interest scores, they fall into areas which I call what they are exposed to, what they can see based on their life experiences. Many young people are exposed to very little,” said Rich Feller, a professor at Colorado State University who worked on the study. Students' different life experiences create an exposure gap, he said, that aptitude tests can help bridge.
The study found that more than four times as many girls were found to have potential in manufacturing, more than seven times more in construction and technical healthcare fields, and two times more in computer technology than an interest list alone would show. What's more, males were more than 1.6 times more likely to show promise in patient care positions.
“It opens up all kinds of opportunities for students who have been less fortunate and have been stereotyped,” Feller said. “We've got great potential that we're not tapping into.”
(　 　)5.What does the author think about the career prejudice mentioned in Para.1
A.It is deeply rooted in some truth.
B.It is encouraged by a majority of people.
C.It still affects students' choices of career.
D.It stops the popularity of a wide range of careers.
(　 　)6.Why did researchers at the University of Missouri conduct the study
A.To improve students' career ability.
B.To assess the reliability of aptitude tests.
C.To have a deep insight into students' interests.
D.To understand the function of aptitude tests.
(　 　)7.What does the underlined phrase “an exposure gap” in Para.4 refer to
A.A low score in the interest test.
B.A decreased relation to society.
C.A huge difference among students.
D.A lack of understanding of diverse careers.
(　 　)8.What does Feller suggest in the last paragraph
A.Aptitude tests are beneficial.
B.The future plan must be examined first.
C.Studies need more participants.
D.A narrower interest list would be better.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
[2026·福州模拟] Search engines, virtual worlds, the Internet—have you ever get the feeling that you're living in a science fiction fantasy Well indeed you are. For more than a century, inventors have been driven to create what sci fi writers have boldly imagined before.
As a boy in India, Amit Singhal dreamed of space. “Those were my favorite times as a little child on a hot summer day, sitting in a room watching Star Trek,” he says. Singhal now works at a technology company, where he is in charge of maintaining its search algorithms(算法). “But my main job is to dream about what searching would look like a few years from now,” he says. And what do those dreams look like Singhal was fascinated by the way Star Trek characters simply talk to a computer to find out about almost anything, so now he's working on the company voice recognition search products.
Singhal isn't unique. Scratch the surface (作肤浅的探讨) of many inventors in Silicon Valley, and there's a kid who loved science fiction underneath. “Teenagers read these things. They fall in love with the novel; they get inspired by the technology and they keep it in the back of their minds till they're about 30, and then they build it,” technology forecaster(预言家) Paul Saffo says.
The grandfather of science fiction is probably Jules Verne, whose novels have inspired whole generations of people. And ever since Verne, there's been a long list of inventions that come from science fiction. Buck Rogers inspired a generation of scientists excited about space exploration. William Gibson dreamed up the Internet while writing Neuromancer on a manual typewriter. Neal Stephenson predicted virtual worlds in his novel Snow Crash. One of his readers Philip Rosedale, built the virtual world Second Life based on the “Metaverse” from the novel.
“Science fiction helps engineers see the meaning of their work,” says Snow Crash author Stephenson. “It makes it possible for these people to see a realized vision of what all of their efforts could eventually lead to.”
(　D　)1.What can we learn about Singhal
A.He has shown less enthusiasm for space.
B.He has strongly criticized the movie Star Trek.
C.He has dreamed of becoming a science fiction writer.
D.He has been exploring future possibilities of search engines.
(　A　)2.What does Saffo say about science fiction
A.It plants seeds of creativity in teenagers' hearts.
B.It helps readers understand real human issues.
C.It fails to live up to its full potential.
D.It should be based on scientific facts.
(　D　)3.How is Paragraph 4 mainly developed
A.By presenting writers' achievements.
B.By analyzing the reasons for technological progress.
C.By making comparisons between fiction and reality.
D.By giving examples of innovations driven by science fiction.
(　B　)4.What is the best title for the text
A.Jules Verne Imagined the World Ahead
B.Science Fiction Inspires Engineers to Build Our Future
C.Why Teens Are Fascinated by Science Fiction
D.Why Science Fiction Writers Are So Good at Predicting the Future

[2026·岳阳模拟] Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a science fiction concept; it is rapidly integrating into the fabric of our workplaces. From automated customer service chatbots to algorithms that analyze vast amounts of data, AI is changing the way businesses operate. But what does this mean for the future of work
One of the most significant impacts of AI is the potential for job displacement. Routine tasks that are rule based, such as data entry and some aspects of manufacturing, are at high risk of being automated. A study by McKinsey Global Institute predicts that by 2030, up to 375 million workers globally may need to switch occupational categories due to automation. This displacement is not limited to low skilled jobs. Even some white collar professions, like certain types of financial analysis, are vulnerable(易受影响的) as AI algorithms can process and analyze financial data more quickly and accurately than humans.
However, AI also has the potential to create new job opportunities. As AI systems become more widespread, there is a growing need for professionals who can develop, maintain, and improve these technologies. Jobs in AI research, machine learning engineering, and data science are on the rise. These new roles require high level technical skills, often in fields like computer science, mathematics, and statistics.
The challenge lies in preparing the workforce for this shift. There is a need for reskilling and upskilling programs to help workers transition into new roles. Governments, educational institutions, and businesses must work together to provide accessible and relevant training. For instance, some companies are already offering in house training programs to teach employees basic coding and data analysis skills.
In conclusion, AI is a double edged sword for the future of work. While it poses a threat of job displacement, it also offers the promise of new and more fulfilling career paths. The key is to manage this transition effectively, ensuring that the benefits of AI are shared widely.
(　D　)5.According to the McKinsey Global Institute's prediction, what might happen by 2030
A.AI will replace all human workers.
B.375 million workers will lose their jobs.
C.White collar workers will be at full employment.
D.Numerous workers may need to change occupations.
(　B　)6.What new job opportunities does AI bring
A.Jobs in traditional manufacturing.
B.Positions in AI related technical fields.
C.Low skilled customer service jobs.
D.Manual labor jobs in construction.
(　B　)7.What is the key to dealing with the impact of AI on the future of work
A.Letting the market adjust naturally.
B.Effective management of the transition.
C.Workers finding new jobs on their own.
D.Banning AI development to protect jobs.
(　A　)8.Which of the following would be the best title for the text
A.AI: Transforming the Future of Work
B.AI: A Threat to the Future of Workplace
C.Negative Impact of AI on Job Market
D.New Job Opportunities Created by AI
【文本大意】本文讨论了人工智能如何迅速融入我们的工作场所,以及它对未来工作的双重影响:一方面可能导致工作岗位的替代,另一方面也可能创造新的就业机会。
5.D　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“A study by McKinsey Global Institute predicts that by 2030, up to 375 million workers globally may need to switch occupational categories due to automation.(麦肯锡全球研究院的一项研究预测,到2030年,全球多达3.75亿工人可能因自动化而需要更换职业类别。)”可知,到2030年,大量工人可能需要更换职业。故选D。
6.B　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“As AI systems become... are on the rise.(随着人工智能系统的日益普及,对能够开发、维护和改进这些技术的专业人员的需求也在不断增加。人工智能研究、机器学习工程和数据科学领域的工作正在增加。)”可知,人工智能带来了人工智能相关技术领域的职位。故选B。
7.B　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The key is to manage this transition effectively, ensuring that the benefits of AI are shared widely.(关键是要有效地管理这一转型,确保人工智能的好处得到广泛分享。)”可知,有效管理转型是应对人工智能对未来工作影响的关键。故选B。
8.A　主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要讨论了人工智能对工作的双重影响,既带来了职业替代的风险,也创造了新的职业机会。由此可知,A项“人工智能:改变未来工作”最能概括文章的主题,适合作为本文的标题。故选A。

[2026·马鞍山模拟] More is known about the surface of Mars than the floor of the ocean. By one count, America spends 150 times more on space exploration than ocean research. Scientists have mapped almost every large hole on the surface of Mars but only about 20% of the seabed. Yet, interest in the ocean is growing.
In The Underworld, Susan Casey, a Canadian writer, describes her trip to an underwater volcano off the coast of Hawaii in 2021, alongside Victor Vescovo, an explorer. When the deep sea submersible(潜水器) parked 5,017 meters down, she found a world of slow moving beauty. Mr Vescovo has previously explored the deepest part of the Mariana Trench (nearly 11,000 meters down), where the water pressure is so high that it feels like 50 large airplanes piled on top of you.
Ms Casey's book flows between descriptions of the deep and the history of ocean exploration. In the 19th century, scientists believed the deep sea regions were azoic. Yet, the situation is different. The HMS Challenger brought all manner of sea creatures to light on its trip around the world in the 1870s. Around 60 years later, William Beebe, an American naturalist, explored the Atlantic Ocean in a submersible and saw such living beings for himself.
For much of the 20th century oceanography grew significantly, popularized by explorers such as Jacques Cousteau, who wrote that the deep was a “silent world”. In truth, it is remarkably noisy. Sing Like Fish, by Amorina Kingdon, a science writer, reveals remarkable facts about ocean noise. Readers learn that sound travels four and a half times faster underwater than on land, and that fish have the greatest variety of sound producing organs of any vertebrate(脊椎动物) group. Sometimes fish are so noisy that they are heard above water. In the 1980s, houseboat owners in Sausalito, California, thought a loud sound was being produced by a secret military experiment. In reality, it was the call of a male toadfish.
(　 　)4.What did Casey do in 2021
A.She explored the Mariana Trench.
B.She witnessed an erupting volcano.
C.She had The Underworld published.
D.She traveled deep beneath the ocean.
(　 　)5.What does the underlined word “azoic” in Paragraph 3 mean
A.Beautiful.　　　　　　 B.Dangerous.
C.Lifeless. D.Freezing.
(　 　)6.What does Sing Like Fish uncover
A.The underwater world is not quiet.
B.Sound travels quite slowly in the ocean.
C.Fish are lacking in sound producing organs.
D.A secret military experiment was being conducted.
(　 　)7.What would be the best title for the text
A.Up to Mars

1.A　细节理解题。根据What kinds of activities do campers get to do 部分中的“Hands on activities to practice specimen(标本) collection procedures.(动手实践标本收集活动。)”可知,该夏令营提供标本收集实践。故选A。

3.B　细节理解题。根据Application Requirements部分中的“Note: Answers to questions provided by anyone other than that applicant will disqualify the application.(注:由申请人以外的人提供的问题的答案将取消申请资格。)”可知,提供别人给出的答案会导致申请人被取消资格。故选B。

[2026·马鞍山模拟] More is known about the surface of Mars than the floor of the ocean. By one count, America spends 150 times more on space exploration than ocean research. Scientists have mapped almost every large hole on the surface of Mars but only about 20% of the seabed. Yet, interest in the ocean is growing.
In The Underworld, Susan Casey, a Canadian writer, describes her trip to an underwater volcano off the coast of Hawaii in 2021, alongside Victor Vescovo, an explorer. When the deep sea submersible(潜水器) parked 5,017 meters down, she found a world of slow moving beauty. Mr Vescovo has previously explored the deepest part of the Mariana Trench (nearly 11,000 meters down), where the water pressure is so high that it feels like 50 large airplanes piled on top of you.
Ms Casey's book flows between descriptions of the deep and the history of ocean exploration. In the 19th century, scientists believed the deep sea regions were azoic. Yet, the situation is different. The HMS Challenger brought all manner of sea creatures to light on its trip around the world in the 1870s. Around 60 years later, William Beebe, an American naturalist, explored the Atlantic Ocean in a submersible and saw such living beings for himself.
For much of the 20th century oceanography grew significantly, popularized by explorers such as Jacques Cousteau, who wrote that the deep was a “silent world”. In truth, it is remarkably noisy. Sing Like Fish, by Amorina Kingdon, a science writer, reveals remarkable facts about ocean noise. Readers learn that sound travels four and a half times faster underwater than on land, and that fish have the greatest variety of sound producing organs of any vertebrate(脊椎动物) group. Sometimes fish are so noisy that they are heard above water. In the 1980s, houseboat owners in Sausalito, California, thought a loud sound was being produced by a secret military experiment. In reality, it was the call of a male toadfish.
(　D　)4.What did Casey do in 2021
A.She explored the Mariana Trench.
B.She witnessed an erupting volcano.
C.She had The Underworld published.
D.She traveled deep beneath the ocean.
(　C　)5.What does the underlined word “azoic” in Paragraph 3 mean
A.Beautiful.　　　　　　 B.Dangerous.
C.Lifeless. D.Freezing.
(　A　)6.What does Sing Like Fish uncover
A.The underwater world is not quiet.
B.Sound travels quite slowly in the ocean.
C.Fish are lacking in sound producing organs.
D.A secret military experiment was being conducted.
(　B　)7.What would be the best title for the text
A.Up to Mars
B.Into the Depths
C.Sounds of the Deep
D.Amazing Sea Creatures
【文本大意】人们对海洋探索关注度渐长,文章通过旅行、历史及研究揭示了海洋深处的奥秘与独特之处。
4.D　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In The Underworld, Susan Casey, a Canadian writer, describes her trip to an underwater volcano off the coast of Hawaii in 2021, alongside Victor Vescovo, an explorer.When the deep sea submersible(潜水器) parked 5,017 meters down, she found a world of slow moving beauty.(在《地下世界》一书中,加拿大作家苏珊·凯西描述了 2021 年她与探险家维克多·维斯科沃一起前往夏威夷海岸附近一座水下火山的旅行。当深海潜水器下潜到5 017米深时,她发现了一个缓慢移动的美丽世界。)”可知,2021年凯西进行了深海旅行。故选D。
5.C　词义猜测题。根据第三段第三句“Yet, the situation is different. The HMS Challenger brought all manner of sea creatures to light on its trip around the world in the 1870s.(然而,情况是不同的。19世纪70年代,‘挑战者号’在环球航行中发现了各种各样的海洋生物。)”中的“Yet”表示转折可知,之前科学家认为深海区域的情况和后来发现有各种海洋生物的情况不同,即之前认为深海区域是没有生命的,由此可推测画线词azoic意为“无生命的”。故选C。
6.A　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Sing Like Fish, by Amorina Kingdon, a science writer, reveals remarkable facts about ocean noise.(科学作家阿莫里娜·金登所著的《像鱼一样歌唱》揭示了有关海洋噪声的非凡事实。)”可知,《像鱼一样歌唱》揭示了水下世界并不安静。故选A。
7.B　主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章开篇指出对海洋的了解比对火星表面的了解少,接着通过苏珊·凯西的深海旅行、海洋探索的历史以及《像鱼一样歌唱》中关于海洋噪声等内容,围绕海洋深处展开介绍。所以B项“Into the Depths[进入深处(这里指海洋深处)]”最适合作为文章的标题。故选B。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A Journey Through Europe's Iconic Cities
Europe is a continent rich in history, culture, and architectural wonders. From ancient ruins to modern masterpieces, each city has its own unique charm. Let's embark on a virtual tour of four of Europe's most captivating destinations.
Rome, Italy
Often referred to as the “Eternal City”, Rome, the heart of the Roman Empire and dating back to 753 BCE, is a living museum. The Colosseum, built in 80 CE, could hold 80,000 spectators for gladiatorial shows. Another iconic landmark is the Pantheon, a former Roman temple, which, with its massive concrete dome, once the world's largest for over 1,300 years, amazes with its interior. Vatican City within Rome, housing St. Peter's Basilica and the Sistine Chapel, famous for Michelangelo's ceiling paintings, is a must visit attraction.
Paris, France
Known as the “City of Light”, Paris is a global center for art, fashion, and culture. The Eiffel Tower, built in 1889 by Gustave Eiffel, is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world. The Louvre Museum, housed in a former royal palace, is the world's largest art museum. It is home to countless masterpieces, including Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci and Venus de Milo. Notre Dame Cathedral, though damaged by fire in 2019, remains an iconic example of Gothic architecture. Parisian streets, cafés, and the Seine River add to its charm.
Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona is a city that combines modern architecture with a rich cultural heritage. Antoni Gaudí, one of the most famous architects in the world, left his unfinished masterpiece. Sagrada Familia, under construction since 1882, and another unique and intricate design from him, Park Güell, inspired by nature, were made UNESCO World Heritage sites. Besides, the Gothic Quarter, with its ancient buildings, and the city's beautiful beaches are popular among locals and tourists alike.
Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Amsterdam is famous for its canals, bikes, and liberal culture. Its canal system, a UNESCO site, consists of 165 canals and over 1,200 bridges. Taking a canal cruise is a great way to see the city's unique architecture, including the gabled houses that line the canals. The Van Gogh Museum houses the largest collection of the artist's works, providing a fascinating insight into the life and work of this famous artist. The Anne Frank House preserves the hiding place where she wrote her famous diary during World War Ⅱ. With more bikes than people, Amsterdam truly embodies a unique lifestyle.
(　C　)1.What can we learn about the Colosseum in Rome according to the passage
A.It was built more than 2,000 years ago.
B.It once served as a religious site in ancient Rome.
C.It could hold a large number of spectators.
D.It is older than the Pantheon.
(　B　)2.What do Paris and Amsterdam have in common according to the passage
A.Both are known for Gothic architecture.
B.Both are home to famous art museums.
C.Both are listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites.
D.Both suffered damage to historic landmarks.
(　A　)3.Where is the passage most likely taken from
A.A travel magazine or website.
B.A personal blog entry.
C.A textbook on European history.
D.A scientific journal article.
【文本大意】本文主要介绍了欧洲四个标志性城市。
1.C　细节理解题。根据Rome, Italy部分中的“The Colosseum, built in 80 CE, could hold 80,000 spectators for gladiatorial shows.(罗马角斗场建于公元80年,可容纳8万名观众观看角斗表演。)”可知,罗马角斗场可以容纳大量观众。故选C。
2.B　细节理解题。根据Paris, France部分中的“The Louvre Museum, housed in a former royal palace, is the world's largest art museum.(卢浮宫博物馆坐落在一座前皇宫内,是世界上最大的艺术博物馆。)”及Amsterdam, the Netherlands部分中的“The Van Gogh Museum houses the largest collection of the artist's works(梵高博物馆收藏了这位艺术家数量最多的画作)”可知,两者都是著名美术馆所在地。故选B。
3.A　推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Europe is a continent rich in... most captivating destinations.(欧洲是一个历史、文化和建筑奇迹丰富的大陆。从古老的废墟到现代的杰作,每个城市都有自己独特的魅力。让我们开始一场虚拟之旅,游览欧洲最迷人的四个目的地。)”可知,本文介绍了四个拥有迷人地标和文化亮点的城市,因此本文最可能来自旅游杂志或网站。故选A。

3.F　上文 “Be guided by the local guides.(由当地导游带领。)”与F项“You can experience the true essence of a destination with their guidance(在他们的引导下,你可以体验到目的地的真正精髓)”相一致,其中“their guidance”指代上文中的“local guides”的引导。故选F。
4.A　下文 “Whether you're traveling alone or with friends, small group travel fosters a sense of community.(无论你是独自旅行还是与朋友同行,小型团队旅行都能培养出一种群体感。)”与A项“Bond with like minded travelers (与志同道合的旅行者建立联系)”相一致,其中A项中的“like minded”呼应下文中的“shared experiences”。故选A。

1.wisely　考查副词。句意:埃菲尔铁塔原本计划只存在20年,认识到了它的重要性,巴黎人民明智地决定保留它。修饰动词decided,需用副词wisely,作状语。故填wisely。
2.recognizing　考查非谓语动词。句意同上。分析句子结构可知,句子的谓语动词为decided,因此空处需用非谓语动词作状语,the people of Paris和recognize之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,需用现在分词形式。故填recognizing。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
[2025·八省联考] Jim Johnson, a mail carrier, was an institution in the leafy Westmoreland, Westhaven and Westover Hills neighborhoods, just north of downtown Wilmington, where he delivered much more than the mail.He knew all the kids and their pets by name; he carried in the groceries; he took note of unlocked doors, offered gardening advice, and taught more than a few young boys the art of the curveball.When he wasn't doing all that, Jim was running across a checkerboard of green lawns(草坪) to ensure the local postal service did not fall short of its daily promise.
Though the postal service is often disparaged now, the trust in local postal service lives on.In many communities, that trust is won every day when life saving medicine, greeting cards, social security checks, college acceptance letters—even the bills—appear in mailboxes in front of the houses.
After more than three decades, Jim approached his final days on the job much like any other.He drove a boxy postal truck to North DuPont Road for the first unofficial stop of the day.Butch, a dog who belonged to one of the neighbors, was waiting just like every day before.And just like every day before, he got into the jump seat and they were off.On the route, Jim and Butch had become inseparable.Now, the dog and the mailman would ride off to retirement together.At every stop, Jim accepted the parting good wishes of families that had become his own.There were tears and laughter, and hugs filled with warm memories.
It's been 33 years since Jim left the route, but we are still reminded of the deep bond established between community and letter carrier.That's what the postal service means to us.

Ⅱ.七选五
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。
I was eleven years old when I spotted my neighbor, Julie, working in her garden. She asked me if I would help her cut back the hedge(树篱) overgrown over the pathway. I agreed and my brother Josh also came along to help us. We wheeled Julie's garden bin down to the hedge. 1.　 　
We posted photos of our handiwork on “Our Malmesbury”, our local online group. The community reaction was amazing. A wheelchair user was so grateful that he didn't have to go onto the road anymore to pass the hedge. 2.　 　 Many people raised their hands to volunteer and do more to keep our town tidy.
3.　 　 Before, it looked a bit run down, but now, the place looks cleaner and tidier. Residents comment how amazing the roses look when they flower and make the place brighter.
To keep the projects going, I managed to sort funding through local businesses and associations. I used a website online that lists available grants(补助). 4.　 　 So Julie applied on our behalf. The funding has helped us obtain trees, plants and gardening equipment.
When we first started, everything was done out of my parent's garage. I started with nothing, just borrowing equipment we already had. But as time went on, donations came in from the local community. 5.　 　 It got so big that we had to move this all to Julie's.
I'm so pleased that six years later, the campaign is still in full swing. Our mission won't stop.
A.The whole town was inspired to follow our lead.
B.When I first tried to apply, I wasn't of legal age.
C.All three of us tackled away at it until we reduced it.
D.With many willing hands, our town has transformed.
E.I even won a grant to fund the planting of Queen apple trees.
F.This was the beginning of many community projects completed by volunteers.
G.Our garage got filled up so quickly with brushes, gardening tools and leaf blowers.

Last summer, I volunteered at a community center in Toronto where Ms Thompson ran weekly mental health workshops. Her 　1　 approach blended personal storytelling with scientific research, creating a safe space for healing.
One participant, 16 year old Clara, had suffered from social 　2　 for years. “I felt like a prisoner in my own mind,” she admitted. Her turning point came when Ms Thompson asked everyone to draw their emotions. Clara's sketch of a caged bird sparked a 　3　 discussion about invisible struggles.
“Mental health isn't about being ‘fixed’,” Ms Thompson emphasized. “It's about learning to 　4　 with imperfections.” She introduced mindfulness techniques, comparing anxious thoughts to passing clouds. “You don't have to 　5　 every storm,” she'd say, “just build a stronger umbrella.”
Research supports this metaphor. A 2023 Johns Hopkins study found that communities adopting 　6　 coping strategies reduced anxiety related hospital visits by 34%. Clara gradually implemented these lessons, replacing self criticism with 　7　 emotional support. Her progress wasn't smooth—some days she'd 　8　 into old habits—but the group's consistent support became her anchor.
The program's success lies in its 　9　 structure. Morning sessions focused on skill building; afternoons allowed 　10　 reflection through journaling or art. Ms Thompson cleverly used gardening as therapy—nurturing plants helped participants 　11　 patience. “You can't rush a rosebud,” she'd smile.
Cultural barriers initially caused disagreement. For example, Mr Davies 　12　 the “soft” methods until his daughter persuaded him to try. His eventual participation demonstrated mental health's universal 　13　. By summer's end, Clara presented a new drawing: The bird rested on an open cage. “It's still there,” she said, “but now I know the 　14　 isn't locked.”
Ms Thompson's final advice stayed with me: “Mental wellness isn't a destination. It's the 　15　 we maintain through life's seasons.”
