_
According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (TUCN), hundreds of marine(海洋的
species across the world come under endangered and critically endangered categories. Some of the
endangered and recognizable marine species are named here
Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtle
The Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtle, also known as the Atlantic Ridley Sea Turtle, is endangered as the rarest
and smallest sea turtle
Distributed throughout the Gulf of Mexico and U. S. Atlantic seaboard, they gather off the coast in
northeastern Mexico and come ashore in large groups to lay eggs every year. As marine reptiles(爬行动物)
they are threatened by oil spills, lack of food and marine pollution
Vaquita
As a rare marine mammal, Vaquita is on the edge of extinction only a half-century after its first sighting
Extensive fishing in the Gulf of California has endangered this marine species, resulting in a gradual
drop in population since the 1940s. According to reports, there are only a dozen of these marine mammals
left in the world since the percentage of dec line in their population was as much as9o% since 2011.
Whale
Fin Whale is the second-largest mammal on the planet after Blue Whale and it is also a victim of hunting
According to estimates, the global population of Fin Whale ranges from below 10o,ooo to around 119,000
Humpback Whale, another whale species, has also been listed as an endangered marine speeies. Before
the introduction of the whaling moratorium (暂停) in 1966, the species was hunted for its fur. while the
population dropped by 90%. Currently, around 2,5oo Humpback Whales survive in the world

live on warm beaches, unlike other seals.
According to recent research, only 1.4oo Hawaiian Mon k Seals remain on the Islands. These seals are
mainly threatened by predators like tiger sharks. Besides, other reasons like habitat loss and food limitation
also contribute to their critical situation.

A. To nest.
C. To avoid attack.
D. To hunt foods
2. What is the major threat to Hawaiian Mon k Seal?

Deforestation-by clear-cutting or wildfires-has massive conseauences both on climate and health
But leaving reforestation to Mother Nature can take decades, particularly as disastrous wildfires are
increasing in frequency and intensity. And the time, cost and labour involved makes traditional methods of
tree planting not as practical as they once were.
Bryce Jones knows how hard it is to replant forests. For four months in 2013, he worked as a tree planter
throughout Canada. "There's no technology there." he says. "The only way you can automate reforestatior
is through the air." But it wasn't until 2o19 that he hit on the one that he thought had potential: use drones
(无人机) to fire specially designed seed pods (菜) into the ground-at 10 times the normal rate and costing
20. percent less than traditional methods. He proposed the idea to his brother and Flash Forest was born. His
first goal was to plant a billion trees by 2025
The team took out a loan, bought a drone and used 3D printers at Jones's school to make casts of the
pods. Now, only two and a half years later, the company has a group of drones with each able to carry several
thousand pods per flight. Three operators work in a field, controlling five drones, whose flights take 15 to 20
minutes. Flash Forest's big draw is its seed pod, which contains everything seedlings (幼苗) need to promote
survival. And its technology allows them to reach post-burn sites or remote areas that are difficult fo
traditional tree planting
There are challenges every day, Jones says, as they work to improve the engineering, hardware, software
and seed-pod recipes. Then there are the chalenges presented by the climate-this year, record temperatures
record wildfires and drought. "That was something that was totally out of our control," he says
Unlike some traditional forms of reforestation, Flash Forest is focused on biodiversity, For Jones, the
target of planting a billion trees by 2o25 is just the beginning. "I have a dream that the company will plan
on six continents-everywhere where our technology is needed," he says
4. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 1?
A. The benefits of reforestation.
B. The power of Mother Nature
C. The way of putting out wildfires
D. The urgency to seek a planting way
5. What are the features of Jones' technology?
A. Efficient and cost-saving
B. Innovative and back-breaking
C. Pricey and ground-breaking
D. Challenging and time-consuming
高三英语试题 第2页 共8页
6. What contributes to the particular appeal of Flash Forest?
A. Its drone operators.
B. The freauent flights
C. Its seed pod
D. The low cost of seedlings
7. What can we infer about Flash Forest from the last paragraph?
A. It changed its focus in the past
B. It will achieve its final target in 2025.
C. It might be available worldwide one day
D. It has replaced traditional forms of reforestation
C
Ariel Procaccia has thought a lot about how to cut a cake over the last 15 years. As the father of three
children, he knows how hard it is to divide a birthday cake to everyone's satisfaction. But it's also because
Procaccia's work focuses on exploring the mathematical rules for dividing stuff up fairly. One way to do that
is to think abstractly about dessert
For decades, researchers have been asking the seemingly simple question of how to cut a cake fairly
The answer reaches far beyond birthday parties, A mathematical problem at its heart, cake cutting connects
strict reasoning to real-world issues of fairness, and so attracts not only mathematicians, but also social
scientists, economists and more. "It's a very elegant model in which you can distill what fairness really is
and reason about it." Procaccia says.
The simplest approach is called the "divider-chooser" method, where one person cuts the cake into two
equal pieces in his view, and the other person picks first. Each receives a piece that they feel is as valuable
as the other's. But when personal preferences are taken into account, even the easiest rule becomes
complicated. Suppose Alice and Bob are to divide a cake, and Alice knows Bob prefers chocolate, she may
knowingly divide the cake unequally so the smaller piece contains more chocolate. Then Bob will choose
according to his preference, and Alice will get the larger piece. Both of them are satisfied with what they get
but the meaning of fairness changes in this situation
The cake is a symbol for any divisible good. When cake-cutting principles are employed to settlin
disagreements, they are potentially helping the world find solutions. Procaccia has used fair division
algorithms (算法) to model food distribution. Social scientist Haris Aziz is exploring situations ranging from
how to divide up daily tasks to how to best schedule doctors' shifts in hospitals
Even after decades of investigation, cake cutting isn't like a simple igsaw puzzle (拼图) with a well
defined solution. Instead. over time, it has evolved into a kind of mathematical sandbox, a constructive
playground that brings together abstract proofs and easy applications. The more researchers explore it, the
more there is to explore.
8. What does the underlined word "distill" in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Find the opposite of
B. Get the essence of.
C. Keep the focus on
D. Reduce the impact on
9. What can we learn about fairness from the example given in paragraph 3?
A. Its standard is stable.
B. It prevents unequal division
C. Its concept is complex
D. It dominates personal preferences
10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about concerning cake cutting?
A. The application of its rules
B. The details of its process.
C. The problems it produces
D. The harmony it symbolizes

11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Who benefits most from fairness?
B. How has fairness changed over time?
C. What method works best in cake-cutting?
D. Why are researchers so interested in cake-cutting?
D
Amblyopia is the most common cause of vision loss in children. In all cases of amblyopia, there's a
stronger eye and a weaker eye, and it's winner-take-all in the cortex (大脑皮层). The cortex learns to ignore
the signal from the weaker eye. By ignoring the weaker eye, the brain doesn't fuse (融合) images from both
eyes. As a result, people with amblyopia can have trouble seeing in 3D
In an attempt to solve this problem, doctors start treating patients with amblyopia at a young age, while
their brain pathways are still developing. The children, usually under 7 vears old, are often told to wear an
eye patch over their strong eye to force the brain to rely on the weaker. But whenever the eye pa tch is
removed, the competition can start over. For lasting improvement, new treatments need to teach the brain to
stop suppressing(抑制) key visual cues coming from the weaker eye, says neuroscientist Dennis Levi of the
University of California
Now, several research teams are taking a new way that aims to get the brain to make better use of the
information coming from both eyes. Several companies are working on treatment s based on this new angle
One is called Luminopia
Luminopia's therapy involves having children watch videos through a virtual reality headset. As the
children watch, the headset blocks out certain parts of the display for each eye, so the patients actually have
to combine input from the two images to get the full video.
The company conducted a trial showing that children with amblyopia begin to see better on eye chart
assessments after three months of one-hour sessions done six days a week. But they have yet to measure
improvements in long-term effectiveness. It is believed that if people with amblyopia don't learn to fuse
signals from both eyes from a young age, they never will So some scientists think attempting to treat adults.
whose brains have suppressed signals from their weak eye for decades, is a lost cause.
12. Why does a person with amblyopia have trouble seeing in 3D
A. His brain is unable to receive images
B. His weaker eye fails to receive signals.
C. His stronger eye can't send signals to the brain
D. His cortex overlooks signals from the weaker eye
13. Which of the following best describes the effect of an eye patch?
B. Ineffective.
C. Wonderful
A. Temporary.
D. Comprehensive
14. What is the working principle of Luminopia's therapy?
A. Forcing the brain to rely on the weaker eye.
B. Activating the weak eye to get the full video
C. Improving the situations with eye chart assessments
D. Blocking out the images received from the stronger eye
高三英语试题 第4页 共8页
15. What can we learn about Luminopia's therapy from the last paragraph?
A. It has an instant effect
B. Adults are its main targets
C. It has long-term effectiveness
D. More trials need to be conducted

Ask anyone how they're feeling these days and chances are that they'll reply with some version of
“exhausted". We're tired of operating amid uncertainty. We're tired of balancing childcare with work
16 They direct our focus to the most readily available information to help us make decisions quickly
without properly considering all the variables
The result is that we are wired to move toward things that make us feel good and away from things that
make us feel uncomfortable. 17 They default (默认) to what feels "normal". Those networks are
so deep in our thinking that when we're traveling a new and challenging path, our wheels default back to the
worn-in grooves (糟). So, how do we do hard things when our brains are constantly telling us to avoic
effort?
__18 A 2o16 study found that when people are upset, they're less likely to try to do hard things.
When they're feeling upbeat, however, they're more likely to take on the hard-but-essential tasks that
ultimately make life better. One way we can get ourselves in the right mindset is to do what's called
"reappraisal", in which we create a shift in our brains of how we perceive a task.
Moreover, we must give our brains the right amount of autonomy. When we have a choice, our brains
often want to programme something easy. 19 Put it into a work context: Do I want to experimen
with a new project management tool that might make things easier for my team next week, or do I want to
stick with the same sheet that a former employee established that none of us feel great about anyway?
20 But by understanding what's going on in your brain, you can work toward accomplishing
hard things and manage your fears better
A. Tackle them when we're in a good mood
B. Doing things like hard work can seem abnormal
C. Our brains label effort as bad because it's hard work
D. We should be creative and open-minded when doing tasks
E. This is called mindset fault, the tendency to do right things
F. When we feel like this, our brains want to save mental energy
G. But we can reduce the response by challenging ourselves to be innovative

“I' Il bet Anjali knows. Right, Anjali? Why don't you show us since you' re the star student, "Deepak
taunted(奚落).
Anjali was confused. She wasn't trying to show off. She was just playing tabla( 印度塔不拉鼓). like
everyone else. And why was Deepak being so mean lately? Is it because tabla is a boy's thing? She didn'
care that people thought it was a boys' instrument. Anjali knew there was no such thing. She danced her
fingers across the tabla to perform the composition in confusion. "Ugh!" Anjali heard someone groan, and
she stopped playing
"I guess I don't know it that well after all, "Anjali said sheepishly to the teacher, Mr. Zakir. Her stomach
was doing flip-flops. That wasn't true, Not even a little. Mr. Zakir's eves narrowed. He looked like he was
about to say something, but changed his mind."The recital (演奏会) is next week, everyone. Keep
practicing. I will be announcing who will get to perform onstage with me at my next concert! "Anjali had
dreamed of a moment like that. She wanted to win the opportunity, but she needed to sort things straight with
Deepak first.
As the class was dismissed, Aniali hurried over to Deepak, When she finally made eve contact with him
he purposely looked away and walked off. The next day at school, Anjali overheard Deepak whispering to
Mary." People are only interested because she's the only girl in tabla class and they want her to feel special.
She's not that good" Anjali was furious. She excused herself and went to the bathroom. She took some
deep breaths but couldn't relax. Her heart was pounding:
"It's not my fault that people make a big deal about a girl plaving tabla. I make mistakes too, but I work
really hard. Mavbe he should too. He should be less mean and practice more."
"If I play in this concert, no one will talk to me again. He will turn everyone against me."
"I don't want to see a tabla or hear a tabla or play a tabla EVER AGAIN!!"Anjali yelled at the mrror
It was quiet for a moment. She believed it was one of her darkest days ever

My Family Tradition
Para1:点明家风
It's really an honor to stand here to share my family tradition. In my family, respecting and honoring elders is highly cherished/valued.
Para2:
1.具体做法A small yet profound tradition we stick to is celebrating every elder's birthday by gathering together, sharing stories, and expressing our gratitude for their wisdom and guidance.
2.影响This tradition has profoundly impacted me. On one hand, it has instilled in me a deep respect for the older generations. I've learned valuable lessons from their life experiences, which have shaped my outlook/perspective on life and values. On the other hand, it has fostered a strong sense of family unity and belonging.
Para3:决心传承
Significantly influenced by this tradition, I am determined to carry it forward. By integrating this value into my daily life and eventually passing it on to future generations I hope to preserve and celebrate this precious legacy of my family. //I hope this tradition’s living on can be ensured.
其他家风
1.读书(做法+影响)
Every evening, instead of watching TV, my family gathers in the living room where each person dives into their own book. This is a passion that passed down through generations.
On one hand, it has immensely broadened my horizons, introducing me to a diverse range of cultures and ideas. On the other hand, this tradition has cultivated in me a profound sense of empathy and understanding towards others.
2.节俭(做法+影响)
One small act that represents frugality is our practice of creating handmade gifts for one another. Instead of buying expensive items, we invest time and effort into making something meaningful. This could be as simple as knitting a scarf or crafting a photo album.
On one hand, it has taught me the importance of valuing effort over material wealth. On the other hand, it has fostered a closer bond within our family, as each gift exchanged is a testament to the care we have for each other.
(打塔布拉鼓的Anjali)
One possible version:
Stepping out of the bathroom, Anjali saw some inspiring posters on the wall. Each poster depicted a legendary female musician from various cultures, their passion and determination evident in their eyes. Anjali felt a surge of inspiration washing over her as she absorbed the energy from those posters. In that
fleeting moment, she felt Deepak's biases and the external murmurs of skepticism fading into insignificance, while her own dreams took on a new, crystal-clear brightness. Fueled by this resolve, she immersed herself in relentless training in the days that followed, pouring all her heart into each tabla beat. It seems that opportunity always favors the resolute and diligent. A mere week later, fortune smiled upon Anjali as she was chosen to perform alongside the teacher. As expected, Anjali delivered a flawless performance.
After the recital, Deepak walked up to Anjali. "Anjali," he began, his expression softened yet his words hesitant. Anjali was actually startled by Deepak's sudden approach, utterly unsure of how to respond. "I… I wanted to apologize," Deepak continued, his gaze sincere. "You were brilliant on stage tonight. I couldn't believe how much effort you must have put in." Anjali was momentarily speechless, moved by the genuine remorse in Deepak's eyes. As he walked away, Anjali watched his retreating figure with a mixture of gratitude and disbelief. In that moment, Anjali, who had transformed into a resolute and assertive young lady, were fully aware that she would confront any challenges ahead with courage, for she had learned that
true strength lies not in the absence of fear, but in the willingness to persevere despite it.
【情节构思】
Para.1: 【街接 1】 inspiring posters 内容→Anjali 的反应:被激励+内心改变(回应原文想放弃)
→Anjali 的心理改变:不顾Deepak 的偏见/外界的声音,坚持自己的梦想→ Anjali 的行为改变:接下去的日子 努力训练→【街接2】最终入选与Mr. Zakir 一起演奏+演奏顺利完成
Para.2: 【街接3】(注意主语是Deepak,所以最好以D开场)Deepak:表情+语言结巴→ Anjali 的反应:惊讶+不知道如何反应→ Deepak:我要跟你道歉,+你在舞台上闪耀,你一定付出了很多努力
→Anjali 的反应:语塞 +Deepak 眼神里的坚定和真诚让她热泪盈眶→【结尾】场景:看着 Deepak 离开的背影,Anjali明白了:追逐梦想,努力坚持就完事了
补充素材:
Para.1 衔接:海报内容Her eyes darted across a message that seemed to squeeze every ounce of doubt from her heart: “Let your uniqueness shine.” This quote unfolded a new layer of determination in her. Just then, the rumor, jealousy and other thorns thrown at her were nothing but stepping stones to her inextinguishable dreams.
recital 场景描写When she finally took the stage, her performance enchanted the entire audience,the melodies she produced seeming to edge their way into everyone's memory. The applause that followed her act sparkled with genuine appreciation, marking a clear recognition of her hard work and talent.
Para.2 衔接:Surprisingly, he offered a sincere apology, “Your unparalleled performance is the best testament to your skills and efforts paid and I'm sorry for everything I said." Anjali, caught off guard, accepted his apology with a nod, feeling her self-esteem soaring.
升华:
1.The rupture healed, Anjali and Deepak became intimate friends ever since. More significantly, Anjali proved to all the fact that tabla was not a boy-only instrument.
2.With the applause still echoing in her ears, Anjali felt an unshakeable confidence about the upcoming concert. She was no longer the girl who doubted her place in the tabla class; she was now a star performer, ready to shine on a bigger stage.
