As expected I was almost the last to cross the finish line.Immediately,my classmates held my arms and urged me to walk on my feet and not to sit down.I was surrounded,with all kinds of drinks handed to me.I felt a kind of warmth I had never felt before.Even though I was almost the last to finish the race,I was full of confidence that I would improve in the future.That sports meet was an unforgettable experience.Sports are no longer about winning or losing.They give me a lot of confidence,both confidence in my fellow students and confidence in my own potential.I am no longer lonely,no longer afraid. 高三英语参考答案第1页（共4页） 【参考答案解析】 2l.A考查细节理解。根据第一个路径This short route through the Dee Valley is perfect for beginners,可知A 正确。 22.C考查细节理解。根据第三个路径Falkirk to Edinburgh里面which offers interactive family activities..可 知C正确。 23.C根据第一段内容，比较四个路径可知这四个都是水路旅游，因而C正确。 24.D考查细节理解。根据第二段内容The lack of commercial facilities at the area makes it difficult for visitors to attain supplies such as drinking water.可知D正确。 25.A考查主旨大意。本段内容讲述了和平台合作，游客扫码下单，无人机投递包裹供给的整个过程。而 其他选项只是整个过程中的一部分。 26.B考查推理判断。根据第四段内容On the return trip,the drone may also transport the waste generated, significantly reducing the labor costs for the Great Wall's maintenance staf,可推断B正确。 27.D考查推理判断。根据最后一段Beijing has been continuously expanding new situations for the application of the low-.altitude cconomy的提示，可以推断下文会进一步讲述低空经济的扩大应用。 28.B考查推理判断。根据第一第二段内容可以推测Coral Vita就是一个在陆地上农场里种植珊瑚以修复珊 瑚礁的项目。因而B正确。 29.D考查推理判断。根据第四段的内容可知珊瑚种植已经有了相当高的生存率，因而D正确。 30.B考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段内容it is a for--profit organization,.which Teicher says was a conscious choice.和最后一段内容So what if we could create a company that can pay for restorations instead of a donation here and a grant there可知B正确。 31.A考查主旨大意。综合全文可知，本文讲述Coral Vita在陆地建设农场种植珊瑚以修复海洋珊瑚礁，A 选项既能体现这一点也更能引起读者的兴趣，因而选择A项。 32B考查推理判断。根据第一段内容可知医生能够利用病人数字双胞胎作出精准的诊断，因而有益于病 人。 33.A考查推理判断。根据第三段内容作者提出atrial fibrillation以说明数字镜像双胞胎能够有效而又不伤 害病人的情况下去帮助治疗病人，因面A正确。 34.C考查词义猜测。根据下文内容可知数字双胞胎技术在各个领域被应用，因而spring up出现符合词义。 35.D考查情感态度。综合全文可以看出作者对数字双胞胎的使用大加赞赏，因而前途光明，所以D正确。 4l.B我碰巧坐在Clay Parker的旁边，从后文看作者以前和Clay Parker并不联系，因而B最符合语境。 42.A从后文看作者比较关心学生毕业后的职场应对，因而A正确。 43B学生没有为今天的职场准备好并非不满意。B符合语境。 44C根据上下文内容，此处为转折关系，因而C正确。 45D根据前后文可知此处意为学生们学习的东西似乎没有用，D正确。 46,A根据后文可知，我问Parker的是在一个有可能成为他的员工身上他最想要的品质素养是什么，所以A 最符合语境。 47D因为Parker是技术公司CEO,因而我预期他会列出一个技术技能清单，因而D正确。 48D根据后文可知，我弄错了。D符合语境。 49.B根据后文可知Parker寻找的是善于问问题的人，因而选B。 50.A根据前后文看这里Pakr指对愿意解决问题或学习新事物的员工来说，他们得知道问什么问题，因 而A正确。 51.C我们不能教他们怎样问问题，也就是怎样思考，所以C正确。 52C问正确问题的能力反映了良好的思考能力一一最重要的品质。C正确。 53.A的确，问好的问题的能力是今天职场的一个被不断重复的话题，A正确。 54.D事实证明在大多数雇主的头脑中，问良好问题的能力是与解决问题的能力相辅相成的。因而tumn out 证明是，结果是，符合语境。 55.B解析同上。 高三英语参考答案第2页（共4页） 【听力录音原文】 Text 1 W:What about taking a trip to Luodai Ancient Town this weekend?It's a Sichuan attraction near the city of Chengdu.

Waterways offer a very different perspective on the UK, their quiet channels taking in some of the country’ s most picturesque landscapes as well as its most fascinating industrial heritage. Chirk to Ellesmere & Llangollen Trip length:16 hours return For a journey that takes in some of the most dramatic scenery in the UK, head to Chirk in Wales for a trip on the Llangollen Canal. This short route through the Dee Valley is perfect for beginners, with plenty of stop-off points and the option to avoid locks. Ely to Cambridge Trip length: Three to four days This East Anglian classic launches from the cathedral city of Ely, a few miles northeast of Cambridge. It's18 miles each way on the scenic rivers Ouse and Cam. The route passes through Wicken Fen wetland nature reserve, an ancient habitat of reedbeds and marshland that’ s home to birds and butterflies. There are just four locks to tackle, which brings the strain for beginners.

From there, sail into the Falkirk Tunnel and make a stop at the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots, ruined Linlithgow Palace, which offers interactive family activities. Try watersports on Linlithgow Loch, before continuing across the 820ft-long Avon Aqueduct; kids will love that it snakes 85ft above the ground. Stourport Ring, from Stoke Prior Trip length: Seven to 14 days Starting at Stoke Prior in Worcestershire, this 76-mile route passes Bimingham family attractions and Cadbury World, where you can pause for a chocolatey afternoon tea and new attractions unfolded for the brand's 200th anniversary this year. 21.

B Beijing has launched its first unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) logistics(后勤) delivery route in the Badaling section of the Great Wall, which enables tourists to receive summer relief items and emergency supplies within minutes, said the Badaling scenic area on Friday. The south ninth watchtower on the extended line of the Badaling Great Wall serves as the delivery point for the new route. The area, which opened to the public at the end of 2023, mainly hosts activities such as outdoor hiking, adventure crossings, Great Wall studies and travel photography. The lack of commercial facilities at the area makes it difficult for visitors to attain supplies such as drinking water. To address the delivery of supplies, the Badaling Great Wall scenic area partnered with a delivery platform to launch the UAV delivery route. Once at the delivery spot, tourists may scan a QR code with their mobile phones to place orders on a food delivery platform, and the supplies will be delivered by drones(无人机) within five minutes. A single trip to the spot usually takes 50 minutes on foot. On the return trip, the drone may also transport the waste generated, significantly reducing the labor costs for the Great Wall’ s maintenance staff, according to the delivery platform participating in the UAV service. Among the most popular sections of the Great Wall, the Badaling scenic area was first opened to tourists in 1958, and has since received more than 200 million visitors from home and abroad. In recent years, Beijing has been continuously expanding new situations for the application of the low- altitude economy. In addition to such drone delivery services, tourists can also take a trial class in pilot training, or enjoy the majestic view of the Great Wall from a helicopter or a fixed-wing aircraft. 24. Why do they choose the south ninth watchtower as the delivery point? A. The area supplies convenient facilities for the drones. B. The area mainly hosts activities like outdoor hiking. C. The area newly opened to the public last year. D. The area lacks commercial facilities providing supplies. 25. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. How the delivery system works. B. How tourists order supplies. C. How long the delivery takes. D. How to launch the UAV delivery route. 26. How do they reduce the maintenance cost? A. By increasing the delivery cost properly. B. By transporting waste on the return trip. C. By largely reducing the maintenance staff. D. By providing more commercial facilities. 27. What will the article probably continue to tell? A. The situation of the Badaling scenic area. B. The popularity of the newly open area of the Great Wall. C. The advantage of the application of the low-altitude economy. D. The expansion of the application of the low-altitude economy. C A coral farm in the Bahamas is proving that the most efficient way to restore coral reefs may be growing them on land. Coral Vita is a reef restoration project which grows corals using micro fragmentation —— the process of cutting corals into small pieces and positioning them near each other to trigger a natural healing and accelerate the rapid growth of coral tissue. While on the farm, corals are also exposed to managed stress such as water warming or acidification, to help cultivate their resilience(弹性) —— this process is also known as “assisted evolution”. Once fully grown, the corals are moved to degraded reef sites in the ocean where their impact is already noticeable. “One of the restoration sites in Grand Bahama had 75 percent survivorship of corals after one year,” co- founder Sam Teicher tells Mashable. “In the Bahamas, if you have 30-50 percent survivorship after one year, that’ s considered a good project. So we had one site 75 percent, another site 30 percent, another site 99 percent.” During a mass bleaching(变白) in the summer of 2023, natural corals in the area were wiped out. But the corals Coral Vita planted, which had been given a resilience boost on the land farm, survived. One of the elements that distinguishes Coral Vita from other reef restoration projects is that it is a for-profit organization, which Teicher says was a conscious choice. “We felt like many environmental challenges weren’t being solved rapidly or effectively enough by those sectors, despite the best intentions and hard work,” he says. “So what if we could create a company that can pay for restorations instead of a donation here and a grant there, which is how most coral farming projects are funded, which unfortunately limits a lot of the critically needed impact to keep reefs alive.” 28. What does Coral Vita do? A. It collects endangered corals from the ocean, B. It restores coral reefs by planting them on land. C. It triggers a healing process of corals under the sea. D. It cuts corals into pieces and plants them in water. 29. What does the fourth paragraph imply? A. The restoration process still face huge challenges. B. The restoration process will surely bring great changes. C. The restoration will greatly improve the environment. D. The restoration has made significant achievements. 30. Why does Coral Vita choose to be a for-profit organization consciously? A. Because it cannot acquire enough donation from society. B. Because Coral Vita can pay for restorations with the profit. C. Because most coral farming projects are funded by companies. D. Because the company's objective is to make profits from the project. 31. Which of the following might be the best title? A. What if Protecting Coral Reefs Means Growing Them on Land? B. How Was a Reef Restoration Founded in the Bahamas? C. The Great Achievements Coral Vita Has Achieved D. Endangered Coral Reefs Were Saved by A Company D When visiting a doctor a few years from now, you can expect to be accompanied by a virtual version of yourself. This so-called digital twin will be a working model of your body that can be summoned onto a physician's computer screen. Updated with your latest vital signs, it will help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis. It also opens the door for medicines and procedures designed specifically for you, greatly increasing recovery rates. This might seem like fantasy, but the foundations are being laid. Researchers at Queen Mary University of London already use computer simulations of the hearts of individual patients to evaluate different treatments for atrial fibrillation(心房颤动), a common disorder. It would be far too risky to experiment this way on someone's real heart. With other organs also being twinned by scientists, it seems likely they will eventually link up to form a virtual body. Digital twins are starting to pop up everywhere. Among other things, they monitor the health of jet engines on airlines, keep track of Uber's network of vehicles and replicate Amazon's extensive supply chain well enough for the online retailer to accurately forecast sales several years ahead. They are helping local authorities respond to the effects of flooding and letting carmakers shave years off the development of new models by simulating test drives and crashes. Twins are also being developed to help manage factories, companies and entire cities. All this is being turbo-charged by recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI), which gives twins the ability to make predictions about their physical counterparts, and fine-tune themselves on new data. Digital twins began as basic computer models of physical objects and systems. As computers have become more powerful, twins have become more sophisticated. Complex design and modelling software means many physical objects initially take shape in the virtual world. 32. How does the digital twin benefit a patient? A. It can accompany the patient anytime and anywhere. B. It can help the doctor make a precise diagnosis. C. It can replace the patient's body to receive treatment. D. It can be called to the reality with the order from doctors. 33. Why does the author mention atrial fibrillation in the third paragraph? A. To stress the effective use of digital twins. B. To promote the widespread use of digital twins. C. To prove the theory is correctly used in practice. D. To showcase the risk of using digital twins. 34. What does the underlined phrase in the fourth paragraph mean? A. Turn up. B. Pull up. C. Spring up. D. Put up. 35. What may be the author's attitude to the future of digital twins? A. Indifferent. B. Critical. C. Negative. D. Promising. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Do you start something and then leave it midway? Do you also feel an enthusiastic rush at the beginning of new things but lose motivation after some time? 36 Set a “SMART” goal. Setting a goal is always the first step but what is the true essence of a goal? Your goal has to be “SMART”. What does a SMART goal mean? Well, it has to be: S: SPECIFIC;M: MEASURABLE;A: ACHIEVABLE;R: RELEVANT;T: TIME-BOUND. Setting a SMART goal will give you clarity about what you are trying to achieve, and how you have to divide your time to achieve it. 37 Find your source. We all have that one Why inside of us that pushes us to work hard to reach our goal. 38 Your source can be anything like financial freedom, trying to prove yourself, a desire to make an impact, or simply having something meaningful in life. Finding your why will help you connect with your goal on a deeper level. Divide your task. 39 Sometimes, when we think that we have a lot to do on our hands, we end up doing nothing because the fear of having to do a lot of work paralysis us. It is always better to divide your main goal into smaller, achievable tasks. 40 For some people, creating a visual representation board can be really helpful. You can collect images, quotes, or symbols that align with your goal. Place it on your wall or workstation, somewhere you can see it daily and be reminded of your destiny. A. Make your goal realistic. B. Visualize representation of the goal. C. Don't worry, I have got a cheat code for you! D. It can be overwhelming to look at your goal as a whole. E. It will tell you if your goal is relevant and achievable or not. F. Sharing your progress is a recognized way of staying on track. G. It pinches us every day and reminds us where we have to go. 第三部分 英语知识运用 (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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I was asked to give a speech at a conference on education.

To me, they mean growth under the care of others. I learned this the hard way. I used to be very shy and often felt lonely. Although I did well in all the academic subjects, I was afraid of physical education. My classmates often laughed at me. “Look at that girl,” they said. “Her feet don't leave the ground when she runs!” Their words embarrassed me. Moreover, whenever the teacher organized some competitive games, no one in the class liked to have me as their partner or team member. As a result, I often ended up looking at others enjoy their games. Things would go on like that if not for a sports meet in my high school. By mistake, my name was put on the list of those who would compete in the women's 1500 meters race. By the time people found the mistake, it was too late to change. I was utterly dumbfounded(目瞪口呆的).1500 meters! Running against the best runners from other classes! And in front of students of the entire school! It would be the worst nightmare I’ d ever have! “You still have time to catch up because there is still one month before the sports meet,” my classmates all said this to me, including my teacher. My desk-mate patted me on the shoulder, “Cool! You will run for our class! And we will do training together.” Yes, this is not just for myself, but for my class too, I said to myself. But still, 1500 meters to me was like Mount Everest to a beginning climber. I had no idea even how to start my preparation. Fortunately, my desk-mate gave me a hand. Every afternoon after class, several of us ran together. They gave me strengths. While we were running, some others would stand by the tracks cheering for us. One month certainly couldn’t make me a good runner. But when I was standing behind the start line, I no longer felt lonely or afraid. I saw my classmates standing by the tracks waving at me as if about to run beside me. 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。 The day came!
