B I was born with a rare disease that prevented the normal growth of my right arm. I was heart-broken at school. Those cruel experiences won’t affect me now, but back then they struck me very hard. My parents realised playing with Lego was a great way to improve my flexibility, so they bought me a set when I was five. I built planes and cars, and even a prosthetic (义肢的) arm, though I had already decided I didn’t need a prosthetic arm — it was very expensive, and I was doing just fine. I made one because it’s fun. I have since made several new versions. And my latest model is the most advanced and comfortable. It has a control unit that can send and receive orders from sensors on the arm to the motors, with cables that contract like muscles. A lot of people don’t have the ability to buy a prosthetic. I hate it when people have to pay up to €100,000 for a prosthetic. They shouldn’t pay that much — it’s not a luxury. My goal is to try to make some that more people can afford. When I was 19, the parents of an eight-year-old boy got in touch to ask if I could build him a prosthetic. His arms and legs are underdeveloped as part of his condition, so I made two prosthetic arms using Lego units costing only €15. His smile when he used them for the first time was very encouraging. To me, my creations don’t necessarily tell the story of how I overcame my condition with Lego; they’re about how I overcame the tough period almost every day at school. 4. Which word best describes the author’s school life? A. Rewarding. B. Demanding. C. Unpleasant. D. Satisfactory. 5. What did the author decide to do with prosthetics? A. To make them reliable. B. To make them advanced. C. To make them flexible. D. To make them affordable. 6. What has the author benefited from creating prosthetics? A. He has gained great popularity. B. He has become more optimistic. C. He has enjoyed his school life. D. He has recovered his flexibility. 7. What kind of person is the author? A. He is sympathetic and creative. B. He is outgoing and adaptable. C. He is patient but aggressive. D. He is ambitious but proud. C Every week, Angela looked at her recycling bin, filled with shampoo bottles and plastic containers, with mixed feelings. Sure, it was a lot of plastic, but it was going to be recycled. Or so she thought. Then, her husband sent her some articles revealing that less than 6% of the country’s plastic gets recycled. She was shocked. Determined to cut back on her plastic consumption, Angela got a starter kit from a company selling refillable household cleaners (家用清洁器). In it were tablets, containing concentrated hand soap as well as glass and bathroom cleaners, and four empty containers. She filled each one with tap water, then dropped in a tablet and watched it dissolve. If she was happy with the cleaners, she would order more tablets but reuse the containers. No new plastic required. Given plastic’s harmful effects on the environment, nearly three quarters of Americans say they are trying to reduce their reliance on single-use plastic, according to Pew Research Center. Since plastic is everywhere and avoiding it altogether is extraordinarily difficult, some, like Angela, have revived a once-customary practice: refilling containers. Household cleaners seem particularly prepared for a refill revolution, for many can be easily concentrated and reconstituted (with water. If just 10% to 20% of plastic packaging are reused, a report from the World Economic Forum estimates, the amount of plastic waste entering the ocean will be cut in half. Not everyone is as enthusiastic, though. Jan Dell, a chemical engineer, noted that many cleaning products are packaged in PET or HDPE, two types of plastic with relatively high recycling rates. So she is less concerned about them but far more concerned about the packaging of other products. “What companies should be focusing on is everything else that isn’t recyclable, that is single use and that often becomes plastic pollution,” she said, pointing to plastic bags and cups. “This is just a classic example of big corporations doing something to attract people’s attention over here on something that’s not the main issue to distract from all the single-use plastic they’re pushing out.” 8. Why is Angela mentioned? A. To promote a tablet. B. To lead in the topic. C. To clarify a concept. D. To recommend a kit. 9. What does the underlined word “dissolve” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Float over water. B. Turn over in water. C. Change color in water. D. Mix with water. 10. What’s Jan Dell’s attitude towards the deeds of big corporations? A. Critical. B. Favourable. C Conservative. D. Unconcerned. 11. Where is the text probably taken from? A A chemistry paper. B. An academic report. C. A lifestyle magazine. D. A cleaner advertisement. D Who has no regrets about things done in the past? Wouldn’t it be nice if, somehow, we could go back to change a couple of bad decisions? This sounds like science fiction. The laws of physics prohibit traveling back in time for many reasons. If we did travel back in time and changed the course of events, we would be altering the course of history. An example often cited is the grandfather’s paradox (悖论): If your grandfather died when he was still a high school student, he wouldn’t have met your grandmother and your father and you wouldn’t exist. Putting humans or consciousness traveling back in time aside for the moment, is there anything in science even similar? Surprisingly, yes. At the level of quantum particles (量子粒子), there is something called Wheeler’s delayed-choice experiments that show that actions in the present can influence the past. The experiments use something called the wave-particle duality (波粒二象性) of light and of matter. The fact that the physical nature of quantum objects is undetermined until it is measured. In other words, this means that a particle of light or of matter can behave either as a wave (spreading out in space) or as a particle (staying together) depending on the measuring devices. Long and ongoing discussions about the nature of quantum physics are still trying to work out what this actually means. Do our minds determine the nature of physical reality? Should we offer food for thought for the future or the past? Unfortunately, these experiments say very little about how we could interfere with the past in events relevant to the human scale. Better to think carefully about decisions than to try to fix them backwards. 12. What’s the purpose of mentioning the paradox? A. To show it is interesting. B. To explain Wheeler’s tests. C. To demonstrate time is different from what we have known. D. To show it’s impossible to travel back in time. 13. What can we infer from paragraph 3? A. Consciousness traveling back in time was tried in the experiments. B. Different measuring devices have the same result. C. More research is needed in the future. D. These experiments can determine the nature of matter. 14. Which can best summarize the last paragraph? A. We should focus on the present. B. The future food is more nutritious. C. We can change the past from the experiments. D. It is never too late to make up for mistakes. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Is changing the past wise? B. Can we change the past? C. Do our minds determine the future? D. Do the laws of physics ban traveling back? 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。 Research suggests that parental favouritism is surprisingly common, and can actually be very harmful. ____16____. Widespread as it is, it can damage children’s well-being across the lifespan, from their childhood to middle age and beyond. It is considered such an important factor in a range of emotional problems that psychologists have a name for it—“parental differential treatment”. However, siblings (兄弟姐妹) in the same family may disagree over whether their family is even affected by it. ____17____. Laurie Kramer, a professor of applied psychology says, “It is an experience that a parent prefers another child to them.” She adds, “____18____. It possibly means less control, so that they may enjoy fewer restrictions and be subject to less discipline or even punishment.” ____19____. Such perceived parental favouritism has been associated with low self-esteem in children, as well as childhood anxiety, depression, and behavioural problems. There may also be a knock-on effect on emotional well-being that causes more indirect problems. In a small Canadian study of eight homeless teenagers, seven said they felt that their parents had favoured a sibling over them while they had always been the “problem children”. ____20____. While the study may be too small to draw wider conclusions, it highlights just how far a child’s experience of favouritism can potentially go. A. Being the favourite can also come with pain B. That’s because feeling less-favoured can be very subjective C. This could mean devoting more time, attention or affection D. They believed this had contributed to the breakdown of family ties E. This may not be the same observation that the other siblings encounter F. For those who feel they are treated as second-best, the consequences can be serious G. It occurs in around 65% of families, and has been studied across different cultures 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) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A baby born before 28 weeks isn’t likely to survive.

He was tall and thin, just like a basketball player should be. At the age of 11, he had already developed impressive skills on the court. Spencer was known for his shooting and his ability to dribble (运球) the ball. Spencer took basketball very seriously. He always made sure his jersey (球衣) was clean and his shoes were clean. He believed that looking good on the court would help him perform better. But sometimes, his obsession (痴迷) with perfection would get in the way of his game. One day, Spencer’s team was in the championship game. They were leading by three points, and it was up to Spencer to secure the victory. As he stepped onto the court, he felt the pressure. He knew that every shot counted, and he couldn’t afford to make any mistakes. But as the game progressed, Spencer’s focus started to waver. He began to notice small things that bothered him, like a scuff (磨痕) on his shoe or a loose thread on his jersey. These started to affect his performance. His shots were off target, and he couldn’t seem to make a basket. Coach Dan, who had been watching Spencer closely, called a timeout. He walked up to Spencer and put his hands on Spencer’s shoulders. “I know what’s wrong,” Coach Dan said, “you’re letting these little things get to you. Remember, basketball is about focus and determination, not about having a perfect uniform.” With those words Coach Dan pulled down Spencer’s sock. “This will remind you to stay focused on the game, “he said. Spencer felt a mix of embarrassment and gratitude. He realised that Coach Dan was right. He had been so caught up in his appearance that he had forgotten what really mattered-playing basketball with passion and joy. 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。 From that point forward, Spencer’s mindset towards the game underwent a transformation. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Years later, Spencer’s reputation as a reliable and skilled basketball player continued to grow. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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.

Thank you. 第二节(满分25分) 【47题答案】 【答案】From that point forward, Spencer’s mindset towards the game underwent a transformation. They lost the game, but Spencer learned to let go of his need for perfection. He focused on the game itself, rather than worrying about his jersey and his shoes. And he focused his efforts on the fundamental aspects of the sport. Consequently, his abilities experienced significant growth, enhancing his performance on the basketball court. Spencer grew more confident and learned to fully enjoy the pleasure of playing instead of winning. This shift in attitude stimulated him to become a genuine basketball champion. Years later, Spencer’s reputation as a reliable and skilled basketball player continued to grow. He still constantly improved his basketball technique. What’s more, in moments of adversity during games, he would catch a glimpse of his sock, serving as a constant reminder of the invaluable wisdom which he had learned from Coach Dan. Basketball became more than just a pursuit for Spencer—it brought him joy and allowed him to pour his heart and soul into the game. Basketball was no longer just about winning or looking good. And through this transformative mindset, Spencer became a true basketball champion and left a lasting impression on the court. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
