The magical world of Harry Potter has fascinated and engaged all ages for over two decades.With seven books and eight movies,this series has brought in over $24 billion in income worldwide.

C Listening to music after surgery seems to ease a patient's pain and anxiety,which could be a cheap and easy way to reduce painkiller(止痛药)use. “Many people,when they are awakening from anesthesia(寐醉)，are lost,”says Eldo Frezza at California Northstate University College of Medicine."They have anxiety or maybe they feel pain of the surgery."Research has repeatedly shown that music can be calming,which encouraged Frezza and his colleagues to investigate if it may help after an operation. The team analyzed the results of 35 studies that explored how listening to music immediately after surgery affected people's pain,anxiety,heart rate and painkiller use. Each study involved about 100 people,half of whom were asked to listen to music,of different genres,after abdominal()or bone-related surgery.The studies varied in how long the participants did this,ranging from half an hour to until they were discharged.The other partieipants who were matched to the former group for age,sex and surgery type didn't listen to music after their procedures. After comparing,Frezza's team found that music seemed to reduce pain levels by about 20 percent,on average.Those who listened to music also required less than half as much morphine while in hospital as those who did not. The team also found that listening to music seems to reduce anxiety.It lowered heart rates by around 4.5 beats per minute,on average,and reduced self-reported anxiety levels by about 2.5 points. "A 2.5-point reduction is pretty small,but it's moving in the direction we want it to go,"says Annie Heiderscheit at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge,UK."Music diverts our attention from pain by boosting levels of a signaling molecule called serotonin()that passes between brain 高三·英语第4页（共8页） cells and makes us feel good."she adds. "Future research should include large studies.This would give a more reliable result than combining the results of previous small studies."Eldo Frezza says. 28.What inspired Frezza and his team to study the effect of music after surgery? A.The high cost of painkillers. B.The lack of effective post-operative treatments. C.The patients'strong requests. D.The previous research on music's calming effect. 29.How did Frezza's team find that music after surgery seemed to reduce pain and anxiety? A.By listing data. B.By giving examples. C.By doing surveys. D.By making comparisons. 30.What does the underlined word "diverts"mean? A.Transfers. B.Increases. C.Sharpens. D.Attracts. 31.What does Frezza suggest about future research? A.Stopping doing research. B.Carrying out large-scale studies. C.Interviewing the study participants. D.Focusing on different types of music. 0 The electric vehicle(EV)revolution is in full swing,with significant effects on various aspects of society and the economy. Advancements in battery technology have been a game-changer.Contemporary EV batteries,such as the latest iterations of lithium-ion batteries,showcase improved energy density,permitting vehicles to travel further on a single charge.For example,leading EV models can now achieve ranges comparable to those of traditional gasoline vehicles under certain conditions. At the same time,the expansion of the charging facility is underway.Governments and private companies around the world are investing in the installation of charging stations,not only in urban areas but also along highways.This relieves the range anxiety that was once a major presenter for potential EV buyers.In response,major automakers are ramping up production and introducing new models at a rapid pace.This has led to a wider range of choices for consumers.For example,some companies are now offering electric SUVs with long driving ranges and advanced safety features, catering to the needs of families. While challenges remain,the production of EV batteries requires the extraction()of rare earth metals,which can have environmental and geopolitical consequences.Moreover,the recycling of these batteries is still a developing field,and proper disposal methods need to be further refined to minimize waste.The last concern is the impact on the power grid ()The rising electricity demand for EV charging may stress the grid,especially at peak times.Companies are working on solutions such as demand response programs and the development of smart grids to manage the load more efficiently. The EV revolution is a complex journey filled with both opportunities and obstacles.The path forward requires continued innovation,collaboration between industries and governments,and a concerted effort to address the environmental,economic,and technological challenges. 32.What has enabled EV to travel longer distances? A.Enhanced battery energy. B.Larger vehicle size. C.More charging stations. D.Traditional gasoline. 33.Why was "range anxiety"a problem for EVs? A.Because of the abundant range of EVs. B.Due to the fear of running out of charge. C.Owing to the high cost of charging. D.Because of the high speed charging process. 高三·英语第5页（共8页）】 34.Which of the following is not a challenge faced by EVs? A.Battery recycling is not well-developed. B.Rare earth metal is extracted for batteries. C.More charging stations are being built. D.EV charging demand is burdening the grid 35.What is the main idea of the text? A.To compare EVs with traditional vehicles in all aspects. B.To focus on the benefits of EVs for the environment. C.To promote the use of EVs without considering any problems. D.To discuss the progress and challenges of the EV revolution. 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。 What are the 5Rs? The idea of sustainable living has become increasingly important in modern society.One approach to achieving this is through the 5Rs:Refuse,Reduce,Reuse,Recycle,and Rot.Understanding and applying these principles can have a significant impact on our environment and quality of life. 36 It means saying no to unnecessary things.For example,refusing single-use plastics like straws and plastic bags.This prevents them from ending up in landfills or oceans.This helps cut down on waste from the very beginning. Reduce focuses on minimizing consumption.We can reduce our energy usage by turning off lights and unplugging electronics when not in use.37 Buying only what we need and avoiding over- purchasing also falls under this category. Reuse is about finding new ways to use items.Old jars can be used to store food or as vases. 38 Clothing can be passed on to others or transformed into something new like a quilt. Recycle involves processing materials so they can be made into new products.Paper,plastic bottles,and aluminum cans are commonly recycled.39 However,it's important to note that recycling should be the last resort after reducing and reusing. Rot refers to composting organic waste.Kitchen scraps like fruit peels and vegetable trimmings can be composted.40 The compost can then be used to fertilize gardens,enriching the soil. By following the 5Rs,we can all contribute to a more sustainable future. A.Refuse is the first step. B.Refuse is unnecessary. C.It gives new life to old and abandoned things. D.This not only saves resources but also money. E.These small actions can make a big difference. F.It turns waste into a valuable resource for plants. G.Recycling plants have been set up in many areas 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，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最 佳选项。 Xiong Jiarui is a student from High School Affiliated to Central China Normal University in Wuhan.From a young age,Xiong Jiarui 41 a deep passion for astronomy.The vast expanse of the universe and the countless celestial (wonders filled his heart with wonder and 42.
