B It was the first day of my track (田径) practice. I was already up and dressed. I was shocked when I saw Mum trying to feed my big brother. “Mum, aren’t you going to take me to track right now?” I exclaimed, my left leg already shaking with anxiety. I hated being late. “Oh, I don’t have the time to take you today.” I gave a side-eye to my brother. He was 14, but had the mental age of one. It wasn’t the first time she had canceled on something because of my brother. My brother is six years older than me. His autism (自闭症) seemed to only get worse. With every passing year, I felt like my parents prioritized my brother over me more and more. I rarely got time or attention from them. Two years later, my brother was taken to the hospital in the middle of one night. He had a high fever. It wasn’t the most severe, but any time he had a health concern, my parents immediately took him to the hospital, just in case. “I just wish he was able to have a normal life. He deserves it, and so does she.” Mum talked guiltily on the phone with her friend, tears streaming down her face. Asking my parents to take me to places and let me pursue activities seemed impossible in 8th and 9th grade. Then I noticed that high school came with newfound independence. Mum never said no to me, because she didn’t have to. All I needed was her approval to go places. On the last day of my freshman year, my friends and I went to the same cafe we went to every Friday. Sitting there, we reflected on the stories of the past year. I realized I had built a great group of friends who made me feel cared for. After all these years, I learned that my brother’s autism wasn’t a situation anyone could change. I could either learn to deal with it or give my parents a hard time. I picked the former. Feeling bitter and impatient won’t make anyone’s life easier. I needed to find other avenues to get my needs for attention met, which I found in my friends and peers. It isn’t ideal, but neither is life. 24. Why was the author upset with her mother? A. Her mother forgot her track practice. B. Her mother always put her brother first. C. Her mother changed the plan last minute. D. Her mother was always late for any event. 25. What can you infer from paragraph 2? A. The author lost confidence in her brother. B. The mother tried to consult many doctors. C. The author offered her brother much care. D. The mother loved both children equally. 26. What helped the author feel more at peace regarding her family? A. Increased attention from her parents. B. Improvement of her brother’s health. C. Formation of her own circle of friends. D. Shifting focus to academic performance. 27. What did the author want to highlight in the last paragraph? A. It is necessary to accept imperfection in life. B. It matters to prioritize personal achievements. C It is critical to get along well with a brother. D. It pays to gain more attention from parents. C Lately, it is getting harder and harder to find clothes that aren’t laced (镶边) with plastic. When you check a garment’s fabric composition, it’s not uncommon to be confronted by a list of scientific words, which refer to various types of plastic. However, too few realize that unless you’re paying close attention, most of your cupboard contains a whole lot of plastic. Often it is invisible, like the microplastics shed by synthetic (合成的) materials; while you may never see them, they have been found at the bottom of the ocean and in human blood. So why do we continue to use plastics? The main reason is, of course, cost. The market price for synthetic fibers is significantly less compared to natural fibers, creating an apparent incentive for fashion brands to find ways to replace traditionally used natural fibers with synthetic ones. Moreover, making synthetic materials isn’t dependent on seasons or farms affected by rainfall or heatwaves, as is the case with cotton and wool. You’ve likely seen a lot of brands promoting themselves as sustainable by using plastic bottles to make their clothes. But the problem is, our plastic-based textile economy has led to unsustainable overproduction of clothing that is unhealthy for our communities and our ecosystems. And plastic clothing is still going to impact our health and have a lasting effect on the environment. Textiles made from plastic fibers are responsible for microplastic fiber shedding at every stage of their lives: when they’re worn, washed, and disposed of. These microplastics enter the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat. Plus, clothing made from plastic bottles can actually shorten its life cycle. When a bottle is transformed into clothing, it often accelerates that bottle’s journey to the landfill because we purchase and abandon our clothing at such a rapid pace. While the hidden story of plastic in our clothes doesn’t have the happiest of endings, we can each take measures. Reduce our overall consumption of clothing and textile products and extend the life of our favorite garment. Learning to mend can be a game-changer. When we do make textile purchases, buy and wear natural fiber products, especially those originating from land-based production systems that are working to restore and build ecosystem and soil health. 28. What can we learn about plastic from the first paragraph? A. It is widely used in our clothes. B. It is impossible to enter our body. C. It is a rare material for clothing. D. It is always noticeable in clothing. 29. What does the underlined word “incentive” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Problem. B. Difference. C. Concept. D. Motive. 30. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The marketing strategies of clothing brands. B. The sustainability of plastic bottle recycling. C. The environmental impact of plastic clothing. D. The process of making plastic-based clothes. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. We Might Consume Too Much B. Measures Benefit Consumers C. We Might Wear Plastic Bottles D. Plastics Promote Economy D UK researchers found that the motion capture suit technology that brings characters to life in movies like Avatar can measure the severity of two diseases. The AI system analyzes some body movements that humans cannot pick up on, enabling quicker and more affordable disease diagnoses (诊断) and drug trials. Two separate studies were published in the journal Nature Medicine this year, Both detailed how wearable motion capture suits could be helpful in research on two different genetic degenerative (退化的) diseases that have no cure. One team at Great Ormond Street Hospital tested the motion sensor suits on patients with DMD, a genetic disorder characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and weakness. To collect movement behavior data, the patients wore motion capture suits while completing everyday activities, such as standing up from a chair. The technology predicted how their movement would be affected six months in the future much more accurately than a doctor. Similarly, a team at Imperial College London tested the motion sensor suits on patients with FA, a genetic disorder that causes progressive nervous system damage and movement problems. They found that the AI could predict the worsening of the disease over twelve months, half the time it would normally take an expert. Researchers believe that the sensors could also speed up and lower the cost of clinical trials to test out new drugs for a broad variety of conditions. In particular, it may help trials of new drugs for rare genetic disorders bring the best possible profits for the lowest possible costs. One of the scientists who came up with the idea, Professor Aldo Faisal, believes that the technology of the motion sensor detectors “has the capability to transform clinical trials as well as improve diagnosis and monitoring for patients.” Professor Paola Giunti also said: “We will be able to try more drugs with fewer patients at a lower cost.” Following the success of the two studies, researchers are currently seeking approval from the authority for the use of motion capture for drug trials for FA and DMD. They are also gathering data for the new technology’s use with other diseases, which has far-reaching implications. 32. What is an application of the motion capture suit technology in medicine? A. Seeking a new cure for degenerative diseases. B. Enabling doctors to diagnose more diseases. C. Predicting how soon the patients will recover. D. Testing the effectiveness of some new drugs. 33. How did researchers find the worsening tendency for patients? A. By observing their daily motion. B. By analyzing their movement data. C By developing their moving habit. D. By measuring their walking distance. 34. Which of the following can best describe the motion capture suit technology? A. Costly and time-consuming B. Complex and effective. C Accurate and cost-effective. D. Advanced and popular. 35. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph about the new technology? A. Its appeal to the authority. B. Possibilities of its practical use. C. Concern over future studies D. Researchers with new visions. 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。 Apologizing is crucial in maintaining healthy and meaningful relationships.

I lived in a small town and I had three best friends, Danny, Mia, and Ruby. We loved to play together after school and our favorite pastime was flying colorful kites in the open field near the large oak tree (橡树). One sunny Saturday, we met up to play. We all had our kites ready, beautifully decorated with bright colors and patterns. The wind was just right, so it was a perfect day to let our kites soar (翱翔). After a while, we decided to have a competition — who could fly the kite the highest. The field echoed (回响) with our joyful laughter as we each took turns, our eyes gleaming with anticipation. However, as I let my kite fly high up into the sky, a gust of wind blew it off course. It got tangled (使缠结) in the branches of the large oak tree that stood tall in the field. I was disappointed but determined. I decided to climb the tree to rescue my kite. My friends looked at me nervously as I started my climb, the tree towering over them. As I climbed higher and higher, the others watched with bated breath (屏住呼吸). They were worried but also a little excited. After all, it was quite an adventure to see me climbing so high. Suddenly, I felt something wrong. I was stuck! The branch I was standing on was slippery and couldn’t seem to move. My friends looked at me with wide, scared eyes. They didn’t know how to help me. They just shouted words of encouragement, hoping I could manage it. I tried my best to move, but I was scared and my heart was pounding hard. Suddenly, I lost my footing and fell! My friends gasped in shock. Fortunately, I didn’t fall from a high height, but it was enough to hurt my legs badly. I cried out in pain. Mia and Ruby quickly ran over to me while Danny ran to look for an adult. I was sobbing, my arm throbbing (抽痛) with pain. 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。 Soon Danny returned with several adults. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, there came an ambulance. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2025届高三期中质量监测 英语 注意事项 考生在答题前请认真阅读本注意事项及各题答题要求： 1. 本试卷共10页，包含听力(共30分)、阅读(共50分)、语言运用(共30分)、写作(共40分)四部分。本次考试满分为150分，考试时间为120分钟。 2. 答题前，请您务必将自己的姓名、考试号等用黑色0.5毫米签字笔填写在答题卡上。 3. 作答非选择题必须用书写黑色字迹的0.5毫米签字笔写在答题卡上的指定位置，在其它位置作答一律无效。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 【1题答案】 【答案】A 【2题答案】 【答案】A 【3题答案】 【答案】C 【4题答案】 【答案】C 【5题答案】 【答案】B 第二节(共15小题;每小题1.5分，满分22.5分) 听下面5段对话或独白。每段对话或独白后有几个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，标在试卷的相应位置。听每段对话或独白前，你将有时间阅读各个小题，每小题5秒钟;听完后，各小题将给出5秒钟的作答时间。每段对话或独白读两遍。 【6~7题答案】 【答案】6.

It also gave me a deeper respect for those who work in labor-intensive jobs every day. Yours, Li Hua 第二节(满分25分) 【67题答案】 【答案】Soon Danny returned with several adults. Their faces were etched with concern as they hurried over to me. One of them, a middle-aged man, gently examined my legs. “They might be broken,” he said softly. “We must call an ambulance to take the poor child to hospital right now.” They calmed and comforted me, waiting for the ambulance. Meanwhile, my friends huddled around me and whispered encouraging words to me. At that moment, I felt a warm current welling up in my heart, my leg pain seeming to get less intense. Finally, there came an ambulance. After assessing my injury quickly, the medical staff put me onto a a stretcher and then I was rushed to hospital. As the ambulance drove away, I caught a glimpse of my friends through the rear window, their faces being a mix of relief and worry. After the doctors’ timely treatment, I was getting better. Without the help of these strangers and friends, I would have been in a more serious situation. Thinking of this, I was overwhelmed by a wave of gratitude. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
