And only seven hours left of a 19-hour flight before I would arrive in South Africa for my third volunteer trip in three years. But this time it was different. I’d be there alone for a whole year, without friends or family. Plus, I had one challenge other volunteers fighting AIDS in Africa didn’t have—I was in a wheelchair. At eight years old, I was paralyzed（瘫痪的）from the waist down in a car accident. I spent months in a hospital, learning how to use a wheelchair, how to get up from the floor and how to dress myself. Basically, how to live my life as independently as possible. After graduation from college, I made a year-long commitment to Lily of the Valley Children’s Village, outside Mophela, South Africa, where 90 percent of the children are infected with HIV. I would see to the kids’ medical needs and teach math and English. Those first few weeks were hard, harder than anything I had done before. I forced myself to keep trying. I needed to prove myself. But how could I tell if I was doing any good? One night, a big storm hit. I rolled out of my cottage the next morning and my chair lurched（突然倾斜）, the wheels sinking into mud. I grasped the wheels tight and pushed hard. The chair wouldn’t move. All of my worst worries seemed to be coming true. I was stuck, hopelessly stuck. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw children running toward me. Two of the oldest grabbed the handlebars and the others pushed me forward. The wheels came free. The kids shouted with delight. When I said “Thank you!”, they laughed, “You help us. We help you.” That echoed in my ears all day. The next morning, the kids were waiting to push me through the mud to homework club. And the day after that, it became our little routine. The more they helped me, the easier it got to help them. The kids and I bonded. I wasn’t alone during my year in Africa. Not at all. I had reached out to the people I was assisting, and they, in turn, became my support. I was aware, more than ever, that anyone, even in a wheelchair, can make a difference. 24．What was the author’s unique challenge during this volunteer experience? A. Overcoming physical limitations. B. Adapting to a new cultural environment. C. Managing a long-term solo commitment. D. Dealing with the harsh weather conditions. 25．How did the author feel in the first few weeks in South Africa? A. Disappointed and wanting to give up. B. Satisfied with the progress made. C. Uncertain about the effectiveness of his help. D. Frustrated by the children’s lack of cooperation. 26．What was the turning point in the author’s relationship with the children? A. The children’s voluntary assistance. B. The author’s initial arrival in the village. C. The author’s first teaching session. D. The author’s struggle with the wheelchair. 27．What is the main idea of the passage? A. The struggle of adapting to a new environment. B. The transformative power of mutual support. C. The challenges of living with a physical disability. D. The impact of education on underprivileged children. C Researchers have long known that the brain links kinds of new facts, related or not, when they are learned about the same time. For the first time, scientists have recorded routes in the brain of that kind of contextual memory, the frequent change of thoughts and emotions that surrounds every piece of newly learned information. The recordings, taken from the brains of people awaiting surgery for epilepsy (癫痫), suggest that new memories of even abstract facts are encoded (编码) in a brain-cell order that also contains information about what else was happening during and just before the memory was formed. In the new study, doctors from the University of Pennsylvania and Vanderbilt University took recordings from a small piece of metal implanted in the brains of 69 people with severe epilepsy. The implants allow doctors to pinpoint the location of the flash floods of brain activity that cause epileptic happening. The patients performed a simple memory task. They watched a series of nouns appear on a computer screen, and after a brief disturbance recalled as many of the words as they could, in any order. Repeated trials, with different lists of words, showed a predictable effect: The participants tended to remember the words in groups, beginning with one and recalling those that were just before or after. This pattern, which scientists call the contiguity effect, is similar to what often happens in the card game concentration, in which players try to identify pairs in a row of cards lying face-down. Pairs overturned close are often remembered together. The way the process works, the researchers say, is something like reconstructing a night's activities after a hangover: remembering a fact (a broken table) recalls a scene (dancing), which in turn brings to mind more facts, like the other people who were there. Sure enough, the people in the study whose neural(神经) updating signals were strongest showed the most striking pattern of remembering words in groups. “When you activate one memory, you are reactivating a little bit of what was happening around the time the memory was formed, and this process is what gives you that feeling of time travel,” said Dr Michael J. Kahana. 28. What does “contextual memory” refer to according to the text? A. Memories about the past facts. B. Unrelated facts linked together. C. Ideas and feelings around new facts. D. New facts encoded into brain alone. 29. What is the purpose of studying patients with epilepsy? A. To track the brain activity of contextual memory. B. To find the brain activity causing epilepsy. C. To show the formation of memory. D. To test the new cure for epilepsy. 30. What do the underlined words “contiguity” mean in paragraph 4? A. Implication. B. Similarity. C. Contrast. D. Neighborhood. 31. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. The feature of the research method. B. The category of the research subjects. C. A brief summary of the research process. D. A further explanation of the research results. D The blanket of pollution resulting from carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels is already warming the planet and causing more extreme weather disasters. One way to keep climate change from getting worse is to take some of those historic emissions out of the atmosphere. More than 200 scientists have signed onto a letter pushing for “responsible” research into ways to trap planet-heating carbon dioxide in the world’s oceans. Oceans already do that for us, absorbing and holding around 50 times more carbon than the atmosphere. What if humans could supercharge that ability? That’s what scientists want to better understand, along with any side effects that might come with messing with the chemistry of our oceans. Startups have already developed new technologies to sequester(隔绝)more CO2 in the sea. But there’s still a lot we don’t know about what impact that might have or what strategies might be most successful, the letter says. These are all pretty early efforts, and hacking the high seas is no replacement for preventing greenhouse gas emissions from accumulating in the atmosphere by getting rid of fossil fuels. Some environmental advocates are also worried about new CO2-filtering technologies harming marine life. The letter today calls for controlled field trials to evaluate carbon removal strategies, along with a third-party review of the results. There also need to be safety measures in place to address any “unintended or harmful consequences” and inclusive policies to engage different stakeholders (利益相关者).Some big names in climate and environmental sciences have signed on. “I have seen these massive declines in ocean health...Doing nothing is unethical (不道德的) essentially,” says Débora, Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Biology department chair at the University of California, Santa Barbara, who signed the letter released today. When it comes to studying new ways to use oceans to tackle climate change, she says,“ We need to at least figure out the risks and the benefits, see whether we can help resolve the problem we have created.” 32. What is the letter aimed at? A. Preventing carbon dioxide emissions. B. Advocating a fossil-fuel-free lifestyle. C. Pushing for carbon removal technologies. D. Promoting the heating of carbon dioxide. 33. What can be inferred from the previous efforts? A. The most effective way to trap CO2 has been found. B. Hacking the high seas can replace getting rid of fossil fuels. C. The technology has caused severe side effects messing the oceans. D. New technologies for trapping CO2 in the sea are already available. 34. What does the letter demand according to paragraph 4? A. Make polices for target groups. B. Prepare safety measures in advance. C. Review the results from three aspects. D. Evaluate side effects with uncontrolled trials. 35. What is Débora’s attitude toward the studies of new ways? A. Approving. B. Unclear. C. Dismissive. D. Doubtful. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分） 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。有两项为多余选项。 Sustainable and eco-friendly travel has become imperative for modern explorers. Read on to find out what you can do to take your responsibility toward the planet. Mindful Destination Choices Choosing destinations committed to eco-tourism and environmental conservation is an essential starting point for sustainable travel. 36 They allow travelers to immerse themselves in untouched beauty. National parks, wildlife reserves, and eco-lodges often serve as prime examples, where visitors can experience the wonders of the natural world while actively contributing to its preservation. Eco-Friendly Transportation 37 Opting for eco-friendly modes, such as trains; buses, or carpooling, minimizes your carbon footprint. Trains, in particular, are renowned for their energy efficiency and reduced greenhouse gas emissions per passenger mile compared to other options. When air travel is necessary, opting for direct flights is environmentally favorable. Pack Light and Smart Efficient packing is both a practical and eco-conscious aspect of travel. Packing light is a sustainable choice that makes your journey more manageable and reduces waste. You decrease your reliance on disposable items by avoiding single-use plastics and packing reusable essentials like water bottles, utensils, and shopping bags. 38 It is not just from your luggage but from the planet’s burden. Respect for Local Culture and Wildlife Respect for the cultures and ecosystems of the places you visit is fundamental to sustainable travel. 39 Seeking permission before photographing and familiarizing yourself with local customs and traditions demonstrates a respectful approach. Support Sustainable Tourism Initiatives Participating in eco-tours, wildlife conservation projects, or volunteering with local environmental organizations allows travelers to connect more deeply with their destination. These initiatives offer a hands-on experience where your involvement can make a meaningful difference. By supporting sustainable tourism, you become a steward (守护者) of the places you visit. 40 A. It ensures their continued prosperity and preservation. B. Engaging with local communities requires understanding. C. Carrying something essential sheds unnecessary weight. D. It promotes the mutual respect in their different cultures. E. Sustainable travel begins with your choice of transportation. F. These places prioritize the protection of their natural ecosystems. G. Remove those heavy things to make it a light traveling. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节, 满分30分） 第一节　完形填空(共15小题; 每小题1分, 满分15分) 阅读下面短文, 从各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。 The journey of learning Beijing Opera has been a meaningful one for me.

I had been working on a register for over two weeks when they decided that I was ready to work as a shop assistant. I remember the feeling of excitement because this was something new, and nervousness because I didn’t know what was going to happen. I didn’t even know whom I would be working with. So many thoughts came floating into my head as I walked from my car to the store. “What if the customers don’t like me? What if I can’t handle this job? Will I remember everything?” With my mind filled with all these what ifs, I walked back to the break room and put my purse in my locker. Then, with my shaking hands and upset stomach, I walked back to the front of the store and met with Theresa at the service desk where Theresa greeted me warmly. “We are going to have you work with Vicki today. She is a friendly lady and takes charge of the men’s department. She can teach you how to communicate with the customers. So let’s take a walk back to the men’s department, and she can get you trained in,” Theresa said. “Okay,” I replied with nervousness. Walking for what seemed like a long time, we finally reached our destination. Vicki, a young lady in her early thirties, came bouncing out to receive us with a light- hearted walk and a brilliant white smile. We must have caught her a little off guard because she stopped, stared at us for a moment, and said, “Hi Theresa!” “Hey, Vicki! I’d like you to meet Kayli. She is going to be working with you for the next couple of weeks.” Theresa introduced me to this young lady. “Hi, Kayli,” she replied with more enthusiasm than I had expected. “Well, I’ll leave it up to you, Vicki.” Theresa happily replied, then turned and walked away, leaving Vicki and me standing there. 注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 In front of a stranger alone, my nervousness grew._________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ Listening to her words, I started to relax and had more confidence in myself. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高三英语月考【答案】 听力 1-5.

But some bad eating habits of teens are really serious and need to be changed. It is said that students have difficulty in concentrating in class if they don’t have breakfast, causing bad results in their school performances. So it’s important to make a reasonable life plan and obey it. For some teenagers, eating too much fast food is a habit that they can’t get rid of. Containing too much sugar and fat, fast food contributes to various diseases. It’s advised to quit consuming fast food frequently. Besides, most of the teenagers prefer meat to fresh vegetables and fruits so that their bodies lack vital nutrients. Therefore, it matters that we keep a balanced diet, which helps build our bodies. In general, how our bodies develop depends on what and how we eat. So it’s time to form a healthy eating habit. One possible version: In front of a stranger alone, my nervousness grew. I had a smile on my face. But as a matter of fact, I had butterflies in my stomach. I expected the usual uncomfortable silence that always happens when two strangers meet and are supposed to be friends right away, but I was wrong. Vicki was very comfortable to be around and easy to talk to. She felt my nervousness. “Take it easy. Just be yourself and you will do a good job,” Vicki smiled at me. Then she explained different styles and trends, and how to assist customers. Listening to her words, I started to relax and had more confidence in myself. I recited the information of many clothes and couldn’t wait to serve the customer on my own. That day I received ten customers and all of them showed satisfaction with me. I regained my confidence and no longer doubted myself. That day, I ended up learning more than just the tasks of a fashion’s worker. I learned to communicate, and to just be myself. Vicki has taught me that it was okay to be myself, and for that, I will be forever grateful. 高三英语 第4页, 共4页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
