To find different communities that had unique relationships with nature, I moved to Manaus in the Amazon Rainforest to feel the energy of the forest and see the local people’s integration with the forest. I discovered we can have many relationships with nature that aren’t always detrimental to those places. They took care of the land and cultivated these gardens filled with fruits and nuts we loved eating without harming the forest. I think many people unaware of how the local communities have shaped a “completely” natural space. The Amazon Rainforest is not just created by natural processes. Doing research in the field could be a big challenge. We often went to really isolated places when doing field work in the Amazon Rainforest. We were aware that if anything happened to us, we could die. If a venomous snake were to bite you out there, you would be in a dangerous situation. We needed to manage those feelings while doing our work and collecting data. I worked on an article about how we could engage native knowledge in conservation science. We had held small meetings with five native researchers, talking about how they viewed the Amazon Rainforest and trying to understand how we could maintain the Amazon Rainforest in the future. These conversations led me to start reflecting on how we did science. I submitted our paper to two other scientific journals before it was accepted. At the time, I didn’t feel that the article was good enough to be published in a major scientific journal like Science. I tried other journals and was rejected immediately. My coauthors and supervisors said that we had nothing to lose by submitting it to Science. We tried again and they accepted it. That experience has showed me that we need to commit ourselves to what we think we should do. We cannot give up when it comes to science. We need determination. 4. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Similar. B. Relevant. C. Harmful. D. Beneficial. 5. What impressed the author most about Manaus? A. The locals’ care for nature. B. The change of natural processes. C. The local communities’ relationships. D. The situation of the Amazon Rainforest. 6. Which of the following can best describe the author’s field work? A. Tiring. B. Risky. C. Costly. D. Demanding. 7. Why does the author mention the experience of submitting the paper? A. To reveal backgrounds. B. To establish credibility. C. To highlight challenges. D. To demonstrate resolve. C Solar eclipses (日食) happen when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun. These events are always spectacular. But total solar eclipses are extra special. One such eclipse was visible across large parts of North America on April 8, 2024. During that time, sky watchers felt surprised at the view. They also took part in scientific research. The eclipse was a piece of exciting news for solar science. On April 8, the Sun neared its most active phase when the Sun gave off more radiation and a lot of charged particles from its surface. Such solar storms threatened satellites orbiting the Earth. They even disrupted power grids on the ground. These are what the science pros found. “Luckily, researchers now have more scientific instruments to study our star than ever before,” said Kelly Korreck, who is an astrophysicist. “This provides a unique chance to learn about the Sun and its effects on our planet and its atmosphere.” But science pros aren’t the only ones getting in on the fun. Citizen scientists are members of the public who help gather observations and analyze them. “There is a lot of emphasis on citizen science and having folks do solar science projects,” Korreck said. Scientists hoped to recruit as many phones as possible, which would spread out over the 2,000- mile- long and 100- mile- wide path of the April 2024 eclipse. Korreck said, “That will offer views of the solar shape from a very large number of vantage points. And it’s up to citizen scientists to do it.” Citizen scientists were able to take part without interrupting their view of the eclipse. They just started an app on their phone and propped it up facing the Sun at least five minutes before the Moon passed in front of the Sun. The app handled the rest. They could get to keep copies of the pictures as a souvenir. “That was a good chance for citizen scientists to contribute to eclipse research,” Korreck said. That’s true whether they set up a camera or installed an app. 8. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. The total solar eclipse was visible in the entire America. B. The total solar eclipse has some impact on the Earth. C. The Earth gives off more radiation during solar eclipses. D. Sky watchers contributed a lot to scientific research. 9. What did Korreck think of citizen scientists? A. They are enthusiastic. B. They are creative. C. They are optimistic. D. They are essential. 10. What did the scientists want to get from citizen scientists during the total solar eclipse? A. Useful points about the total solar eclipse. B. As many phones as possible with apps installed. C. Observations of the total solar eclipse from different angles. D. More scientific instruments to help observe solar eclipses. 11. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. What citizen scientists got from the eclipse research. B. How citizen scientists got involved in the eclipse research. C. How much time citizen scientists spent in taking pictures. D. Why the total solar eclipse was a good chance for the scientists. D A wearable health monitor developed by Washington State University researchers can reliably measure levels of important biochemicals in sweat during physical exercise. The 3D- printed monitor could someday provide a simple and non- invasive (无创的) way to track health conditions and diagnose common diseases, such as diabetes, kidney disease or heart disease. Reporting in the journal, ACS Sensors, the researchers were able to accurately monitor the levels of volunteers’ glucose (葡萄糖) and uric acid (尿酸). “Diabetes is a major problem worldwide,” said Chuchu Chen, the first author of the paper. “I think 3D printing can make a difference to the healthcare fields, and I wanted to see if we can combine 3D printing with disease detection methods to create a device like this.” For their new health monitor, the researchers used 3D printing to make the health monitors in a unique, one- step manufacturing process. The researchers used a single- atom catalyst and enzymatic reactions to enhance the signal and measure low levels of the biomarkers. Three biosensors on the monitor change color to indicate the specific biochemical levels. Sweat contains many important chemicals that can indicate health conditions, but, unlike blood sampling, it’s non- invasive. Levels of uric acid in sweat can indicate the risk of developing kidney disease or heart disease. Glucose levels are used to monitor diabetes. But the amount of these chemicals in sweat is tiny and can be hard to measure, the researchers noted. While other sweat sensors (传感器) have been developed, they are complex and need specialized equipment and expertise to make. When the researchers compared the new monitors on volunteers’ arms to lab results, they found that their monitor was accurately and reliably measuring the concentration of the chemicals. The researchers are now working to further improve the device design and validation. They are also hoping to commercialize the technology. 12. What does Chuchu Chen stress? A. The application of 3D printing in real life. B. The way to make 3D printing develop quickly. C. The integration of 3D printing and medical technology. D. The change in people’s health caused by 3D printing. 13. What can we know about sweat from the text? A. The chemicals in it can reflect health conditions. B. Using it to monitor different diseases is invasive. C. It contains some chemicals that cause heart disease. D. The researchers find it difficult to measure its amount. 14. What is the advantage of the health monitor over other sweat sensors? A. It’s easier to operate. B. It’s more specialized. C. It’s more commonly used. D. It’s more environmentally friendly. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. 3D printing is used to monitor diseases B. Sweat can help treat some common diseases C. Blood sampling isn’t as accurate as sweat monitoring D A sweat health monitor measures levels of disease markers 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。 During the summer, a lot of people enjoy traveling, vacationing, and taking outdoor adventures when the weather is warm and comfortable.

The people there relied on corn farming for their livelihood. However, the harsh natural conditions often resulted in poor harvests. Droughts were the biggest challenge, while sudden downpours during the rainy season would flood the fields. Despite these difficulties, there was a young boy in the village named Steven who had a deep love for science. He dreamed of using knowledge to change the fate of his community. From a young age, the boy was fascinated by the wonders of science. He spent his days exploring the world around him, eager to know its mysteries. While other children played in the fields, he could be found conducting “experiments” and thinking about his future under the shade of a tree. He wanted to develop a dam to store rainwater and then pump (用泵抽运) the water from the dam to water the corn when there would be a drought. But to build the dam was a big problem. His passion tor learning was undeniable, but his father, a traditionalist who valued hard work above all else, did not understand or support his son’s ambition at first. To him, the only real way to help the family was through manual labor on the farm. Despite his father’s disapproval Steven remained determined in his pursuit of knowledge. Steven believed that education held the key to a better future, not just for himself but for the entire village. Seeing his son’s firm determination, the father changed his mind. The father realized that perhaps there was more to life than working in the fields. With a heavy heart, he emptied his savings to send Steven to school, hoping that one day his son would make his own dream come true. Years passed, and Steven tirelessly worked on his studies. His efforts paid off when he graduated with top honors from university. Armed with a wealth of knowledge and a burning desire to make a difference, he returned to his village with a mission. 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。 Upon returning to the village, Steven immediately started to solve the problem. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After knowing the project, all the villagers joined in the construction of the dam. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高三英语 注意事项: 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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) 阅读下列短文、从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A 【1~3题答案】 【答案】1.

Yours, Li Hua 第二节(满分25分) 【47题答案】 【答案】 Upon returning to the village, Steven immediately started to solve the problem. He gathered the villagers and presented his innovative plan to construct a multifunctional dam, which could conserve rainwater as well as provide a reliable water source during periods of drought. Although some villagers were initially skeptical, Steven’s enthusiasm and determination convinced them of the project’s importance. Meanwhile, he organized a team to create a detailed proposal and budget for the dam construction, which they planned to submit to the local government for funding and support. After knowing the project, all the villagers joined in the construction of the dam. Everyone generously contributed their time, labor, and resources to ensure the success of the dam project. The villagers worked tirelessly, devoting themselves to the construction of the dam. Within just a few months, their efforts bore fruit and the dam was completed. The dam not only successfully saved the rain water but also could pump water to irrigate the field during the dry season. With the toughest problem solved, both Steven and the villagers saw their wish come true. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
