B When John Todd was a child, he loved to explore the woods around his house, observing how nature solved problems. A dirty stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making. After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria (细菌)? Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals? With the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine. The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge (污泥). First, he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other. Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by little, these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem. After a few weeks, John added the sludge. He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water. Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse — like facility that treated sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China. “Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does. “Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor,” he says. “You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.” 24. What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs? A. He was fond of traveling. B. He enjoyed being alone. C. He had an inquiring mind. D. He longed to be a doctor. 25. Why did John put the sludge into the tanks? A. To feed the animals. B. To build an ecosystem. C. To protect the plants. D. To test the eco-machine. 26. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Fuzhou? A. To review John’s research plans. B. To show an application of John’s idea. C. To compare John’s different jobs. D. To erase doubts about John’s invention. 27. What is the basis for John’s work? A. Nature can repair itself. B. Organisms need water to survive. C. Life on Earth is diverse. D. Most tiny creatures live in groups. C Globally, about 192.1 million animals are used annually for experimental purposes. Iran has conducted animal-based research dating back to the time of Ibn Sina. Although, like many countries, Iran regulates the use and treatment of laboratory animals, it lacks sufficient enforcement. To ensure ethical treatment of research animals, Iran needs better data about their use, and institutions and individuals need to take responsibility for their care. Iran’s Ministry of Health, which oversees animal testing, requires all animals are treated according to international ethical standards. However, some institutions that produce or use animals provide substandard treatment, disregarding the ministry’s guidelines. To facilitate better enforcement of established regulations, Iran needs clear, accurate and reliable information about the quantity of animals used in research. All Iranian research institutions that use animals should be required to collect and report annual data on the number of animals they use, the conditions in which the animals are kept, and the animals’ research purpose. Such data would allow Iran to track each institution’s adherence (遵守) to the “3Rs” of animal research: Replacing animal-based experiments with alternative strategies, reducing the number of animals used, and refining techniques to minimize the pain and discomfort research animals experience. In addition to government enforcement, individual institutions should prioritize the replacement, reduction, and refinement of animal use. Iran’s medical schools and research institutions should establish an accessible database with comprehensive experimental details to prevent excessive animal studies. Ethics committees shouldn’t approve experiments that use more animals than necessary or methods that require animals when alternative methods are available. In some cases, technical sampling (using a small sample size) can replace experimental sampling (using a relatively large sample size). Individuals should also take an active role. All researchers must be trained to adhere to ethical principles and understand unnecessary pain or discomfort in animals could affect the interpretation of data. Maintaining international ethical standards for animal treatment is vital for Iran to establish its global standing in the field of medical sciences. Iran’s government, institutions, individual scientists, and public can work together to ensure ethical animal research. 28. What is the main idea of paragraph 1? A. The origin of Iran’s animal-based research. B. The regulations of Iran’s research into animals. C. The development of Iran’s animal-based research. D. Moral concerns for Iran’s research animals’ welfare. 29. Why does Iran need better data about the use of research animals? A. To follow the ministry’s guidelines. B. To be in control of animal-based research. C. To ensure the adherence to the “3Rs” in animal-based research. D. To replace animal-based experiments with alternative strategies. 30. Why should a database with overall experimental details be established? A. To follow government regulations. B. To reduce unnecessary animal-based studies. C. To make research more visible to the public. D. To ensure the accuracy of experimental results. 31. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To encourage cooperation for ethical animal-based research in Iran. B. To promote the use of an accessible experimental database in Iran. C. To highlight ethics committees’ role in animal-based research in Iran. D. To stress international ethical standards in animal-based research in Iran. D Today, poetry and science are often considered to be completely separate career paths. However, that wasn’t always the case. The mathematician Ada Lovelace and the physicist James Clerk Maxwell were both accomplished poets. Similarly, the poet John Keats was also a licensed surgeon. The combination of these disciplines fell out of favor in the 1800s. Recently, however, there has been a reappearance of interest among scientists in expressing their research through poetry, such as lyrics and haiku, as alternative ways to inspire others with their findings. “Poetry is a great tool for questioning the world,” says Sam Illingworth, a poet and a geoscientist who works at the University of Western Australia. Through workshops and a new science-poetry journal, called Consilience, Illingworth is helping scientists to translate their latest results into poems that can attract appreciation from those outside of their immediate scientific field. Stephany Mazon, a scientist from the University of Helsinki, participated in one of Illingworth’s workshops where she and fellow scientists were tasked with writing haikus that highlighted water, a common theme in their research. “It was a lot of fun, and surprisingly easy to write the poem,” Mazon says. She plans to continue writing. “We do harm ourselves to think that scientists can’t be artistic and that art can’t be used to communicate scientific ideas,” Mazon says. That viewpoint is echoed by Illingworth, who thinks science communication initiatives are too often dominated by public lectures with their hands-off PowerPoint slides. “Actually, when science communication involves writing and sharing poems, it invites a two-way dialogue between experts and nonexperts,” he says. Scientist-poet Manjula Silva, an educator at Imperial College London, agrees, noting that poetry simplifies complex scientific concepts into language that everyone can understand. Scientists and poets are both trying to understand the world and communicate that understanding with others. The distinction between scientists and poets is less than people might think. We’re all just people with hopefully really interesting things to say and to share. 32. What trend has been observed recently among scientists? A. A decline in interest in poetry and science. B. A preference for traditional research methods. C. An increase in combining science and poetry. D. A focus on historical figures like Ada Lovelace. 33. How does Sam Illingworth bridge the gap between science and the public? A. By translating classic poetry into different languages. B. By teaching at the University of Western Australia. C. By advocating for more funding in geoscience research. D. By organizing workshops and publishing a science-poetry journal. 34. How did Stephany Mazon feel about the experience of writing a haiku in the workshop? A. It was challenging and difficult. B. It was enjoyable and straightforward. C. It was a waste of time. D. It was too artistic for her taste. 35. What is one advantage of using poetry for science communication? A. It simplifies complex scientific ideas for a general audience. B. It promotes academic research in universities. C. It replaces traditional boring science textbooks. D. It emphasizes the significance of public lectures. 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。 There are many customary differences between the West and the East, of which are some of China’s eating habits, which many Westerners would find quite hard to understand. ___36___ Not eating food dropped on a table I’ve seen the disgust (恶心) in people’s faces here when I’ve dropped food on the table only to then pick it up and eat it. ___37___ Our thought is, “A tabletop has had nothing but food on it.

It’s incredible!” she said. Jonathan Smith, and his 13-year-old daughter, Ava, were driving on the 1.4-mile-long, two-lane Route 90 bridge, which spans (横跨) the shallow waters of Assawoman Bay. Suddenly, the calm was disturbed by the scream of tyres. Not far ahead of them, a black pickup truck (小卡车) was sliding from one lane to the other. It crashed into a barrier, turned around like endless, and came to rest hanging over the edge of the bridge. Smith hit the brakes in time to avoid the vehicles in his path, but too late: he ran into a BMW directly ahead of him. Smith stopped the car. “Ava, are you OK?” he asked. She was obviously shocked, but unhurt. He ran to the BMW. “Are you OK?” he asked the driver. She nodded, too terrified to speak. And then another scream came from the pickup. The truck bed hung out past the railing (栏杆), about 10 meters above the waters of the bay. The driver’s door was pushed open and a man climbed out. He dropped to the ground, then ran to the railing. The man pointed down, saying something in Spanish to Smith. In the water was a car seat. Next to it was a girl, about two years old: pink dress, brown hair, brown eyes, floating on her back, kicking and shouting. Matters quickly went from bad to frightening when the baby girl rolled over onto her stomach. Smith waited for the pickup driver to do something, but he didn’t. Maybe he was in shock. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右： 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Ava!” Smith yelled, removing his shoes. “Stay by the car!” _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Standing, he laid her against his shoulder and beat her back hard. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2025届江苏启东中学8月期初调研 高三英语 参考答案及评分细则 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 略 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 21～23 CBA 24～27 CDBA 28～31 BACD 32～35 CDBA 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 36～40 BGAEF 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 41～45 CBDCA 46～50 BBCDA 51～55 DAACB 第二节（共10小题；每小题1. 5分, 满分15分） 56．treasures 57．have stuck 58．to enhance 59．prosperous 60．carrier 61．for 62．diligently 63．the 64．whose 65．laying 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66. The Influence of Artificial Intelligence on Our Daily Life Artificial intelligence has greatly impacted our lives. It offers conveniences in transportation, making it more efficient. In home appliances, it simplifies our tasks. In communication, it enhances connections. However, it also brings problems. Jobs may be replaced, and privacy could be at risk. To make the best of it, we should develop it with regulations to avoid negative effects and train people for new jobs. 第二节（满分25分） 67. “Ava!” Smith yelled, removing his shoes. “Stay by the car!” Climbing onto the railing, he eyed the shallow water. “Better less than 3 feet deep.” he thought to himself. As if mustering up all his courage, Smith jumped off with belly down. A moment later, he was bouncing off the sandy bottom and luckily, unhurt! The little girl was less than 1 meter away. Smith swam to her in a few quick strokes and lifted her out of the water: mouth half open, eyes nearly closed, not breathing. “Come on, stay with me!” A sense of panic crept over this middle-aged man. Seconds later, composing his thoughts, Smith recalled the first aid measures learned years ago. Standing, he laid her against his shoulder and beat her back hard. Some water came streaming down the baby’s mouth. But still no breath. Another whack on the back and then Smith felt the little fingers gripping him around the neck. Her eyes were opened now. Smith hugged her to shield her from the cold. Just then a family on a small boat pulled up and took Smith and the little girl to the waiting ambulance near a dock. The toddler suffered a broken shoulder but was otherwise uninjured. However, on seeing Ava, Smith hugged her tighter than ever. When interviewed later, Smith admitted the fear flashing across his mind but the desire to save a life took the upper hand. That heroic deed not only kept one girl from dying, but fueled the passion of another girl. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
