The sight of the scene prompted me to take action.Approaching her,I inquired if she required assistance.She nodded with a smile.With me carrying the bags,the lady talked humorously about her youth.Laughter accompanied us all the way to her home,driving away my tiredness thoroughly.She expressed her heartfelt thanks,and so did I. Helping others not only brightens their day but also fills our hearts with joy."Rose presented,smell remained"is the best description of my experience. 第二节（满分25分） One possible version: And that's when a sudden inspiration came to me.Why not try to make the same for my family?Perhaps I could also make some hot chocolate using alternatives not causing allergic reactions for them to drink.Actions speak louder than words!Firstly I made the mashed potatoes with almond milk as my beloved mum did.Perfect!Then I poured almond milk in a pan and slowly melted chocolate chips into it.The result was better than expected:They dissolved like butter."Ha!"I yelled.My first victory.Wild with joy,I raised my chocolate spoon and cried out, "Hot chocolate!Who wants hot chocolate?" My husband was amazed at it,"You made hot chocolate?Can we have any?"Yes,dear.It's safe."He laughed and started pouring while I began pulling off coats and hats for children.My husband enjoyed every mouthful of the hot chocolate and gave me the thumbs up.That's when I realized my daughter and son were running merrily in the dining room,stopping to take a bite of what I had cooked.My husband and our little children were drinking hot chocolate together in a 高三英语答案第1页（共6页） toast to the first heavy snow and the approaching Christmas.There it was.I had thought it was completely impossible,but here,I was witnessing our first holiday tradition,everyone participating in his or her own way.And it was beautiful. 写作第一节评分标准 一、评分原则 1.本题总分为15分，按以下5个档次给分。 2.评分时，应主要从内容组织、词汇语法和篇章结构三个方面考虑，具体为： (1)对内容要点的覆盖情况以及表述的清楚程度和合理性。 (2)使用词汇和语法结构的准确性、恰当性和多样性。 (3)上下文的衔接和全文的连贯性。 3评分时，先根据作答的整体情况初步确定其所属档次，然后以该档次的要求来综合衡量， 确定或调整档次，最后给分。 4.评分时还应注意： (1)词数少于60或多于100的，从总分中减去2分。 (2)单词拼写和标点符号是写作规范的重要方面，评分时应视其对交际的影响程度予以 考虑。英、美拼写和词汇用法均可接受。 (3)书写较差以至影响交际的，将分数降低一个档次。 二、各档次的给分范围和要求 第五档：(13-15分)能写明全部要点：语言基本无误：行文连贯，表达清楚： 第四档：(10-12分)能写明全部或绝大部分要点；语言有少量错误：行文不够连贯，表达 基本清楚： 第三档：(79分)能写明基本要点：语言虽有较多错误，但基本达意： 第二档：(4-6分)能写出部分要点：语言错误多，影响意思表达： 第一档：(13分)只能写出一两个要点：语言错误很多，只有个别句子正确。 写作第二节评分标准 一、评分原则 1.本题总分为25分，按七个档次给分。 2.评分时，应主要从内容、词汇语法和篇章结构三个方面考虑，具体为： (1)续写内容的质量、完整性以及与原文情境的融洽度。 (2)所使用词汇和语法结构的准确性、恰当性和多样性。 (3)上下文的衔接和全文的连贯性。 3评分时，先根据作答的整体情况初步确定其所属档次，然后以该档次的要求来综合衡量， 确定或调整档次，最后给分。 4.评分时还应注意： (1)词数少于120的，的情扣分： (2)书写较差，以至影响交际的，酌情扣分。 (3)单词拼写和标点符号是写作规范的重要方面，评分时应视其对交际的影响程度予以 考虑。英、美拼写和词汇用法均可接受。 高三英语答案第2页（共6页） 二、各档次的给分范围和要求 档次 描述 第五档 1.创造了丰富合理的内容，富有逻辑性，续写完整，与原文情境融洽度高。 (21-25分) 2.有效使用了多样且恰当的词汇和语法结构，表达流畅，语言错误少，且完 全不影响理解。 3有效的使用了语句间的衔接手段，全文结构清晰，意义连贯。 第四档 1.创造了比较丰富合理的内容，比较逻辑性，续写比较完整，与原文情境融 (16-20分) 洽度较高。 2.比较有效使用了多样且恰当的词汇和语法结构，表达比较流畅，有个别错 误，但完全不影响理解。 3.比较有效的使用了语句间的衔接手段，全文比较结构清晰，意义比较连 贯。 第三档 1.创造了基本丰富合理的内容，基本具有逻辑性，续写基本完整，与原文情 (11-15分) 境相关。 2.基本有效使用了多样且恰当的词汇和语法结构，表达基本流畅，语言有些 许错误但基本不影响理解。 3.基本有效的使用了语句间的衔接手段，全文结构基本清晰，意义基本连 贯。 第二档 1.内容和逻辑上有一些重大的问题，续写不够完整，与原文有一定程度上脱 (6-10分) 节。 2.所使用的词汇有限，语法结构单调，错误较多且比较低级，影响理解。 3.未能有效的使用词句间的衔接手段，全文结构不够清晰，意义欠连贯。 第一档 1.内容和逻辑上有较多重大的问题，或有部分内容抄自原文，续写不完整， (1-5分) 与原文情节基本脱节。2.所使用的词汇非常有限，语法结构单调，错误极多 且严重影响理解。 3.几乎没有使用词句间的衔接手段，全文结构不清晰，意义不连贯。 零分 未作答：所写内容太少或无法看清以致无法判断：所写内容全部抄自原 文或与题目要求完全不相关。 高三英语答案第3页（共6页） Text 1 W:Thanks for the birthday card,Tom.How did you remember that it was my birthday on Wednesday?

Growing up on the farm in rural Vermont,Fisher lived with all kinds of animals. Before she could read,her parents used to read to her poems by Mary Oliver and WB Yeats. Fisher herself was educated through the Steiner system.She studied stories from the Bible,Homer and the Greek mythology ()transforming what she learned into home made textbooks that she drew and sewed,which were presented to her classmates at the end of every school year,as a Steiner tradition. She took a master's and then a doctor's degree in medieval(中世纪的)Irish poetry, but then she pivoted completely."After spending years in academia,I missed animals and that connection that I had with them since childhood.I suppose I had confidence to just follow my heart,not to be afraid to take risks and try new things."she said.She is based now in the Wicklow wilds of the Glenmalure Valley. The intention to write for children was stimulated by a wander Fisher took one winter morning in the remote hills around Glenmalure."The calm environment reminds me of what I had read about the discovery of reindeer bones in Ireland.I decided to write about human- deer relationship.”Initially writing in prose(散文)，she chose to turn it into a verse novel, which posed a particular challenge for the writer.With an illustrator,the book Fia and the Last Snow Deer became visually unique.It won the award for children's book of the year at the Irish Book Awards. 24.What's a characteristic of Fia and the Last Snow Deer? A.It copies Walden in content. B.It combines nature and verse. C.It focuses on Irish mythology. D.It describes Fisher's childhood. 25.What's the Steiner tradition? A.Handing in a final paper. B.Sharing strategies on writing. C.Giving presentations on poems. D.Making stories into handmade books. 高三英语试题第5页（共12页） 26.What do the underlined words "she pivoted completely"in paragraph 4 mean? A.She stayed in academia. B.She kept loving animals C.She changed her career path. D.She turned to ancient poetry. 27.What led Fisher to write the awarded book? A.The inspiration during a walk. B.A book on human-deer relationship. C.The enthusiasm for poetry writing. D.A historical discovery about reindeer. C Does it often feel as if the world is getting stupider?Data released on December 10th by the OECD,a club of mostly rich countries,suggest this may not be all in your head. Roughly every ten years the organisation asks adults in dozens of places to sit tests in abilities to calculate,read and write. The latest tests were carried out in 31 rich countries.They suggest that a fifth of adults do no better in maths and reading than might be expected of a primary-school child.In maths,average scores have risen in a few places over the past ten years,but fallen in almost as many.In reading and writing,a lot more countries have seen scores decline than advance,despite the fact that adults hold more and higher educational qualifications than ever before. Some guess that video games and social media are reducing sharpness.It is just as likely that education and training systems have failed. Yet a century of extreme technological change has not cut demand for people who are good with numbers,or who have a way with words.Adults who do badly in the OECD's tests earn vastly less than those who are expert in them.They are also in poorer health and less satisfied with their life. Improving lessons for children is the surest way of creating more capable grown-ups. England's adults have topped the OECD's league table,mostly because the youngest ones (aged 16-24)are scoring better than before.That may reflect reforms which have made exams for older teenagers more difficult,and begun requiring youngsters who fail them to try again. The second task is to oil creaking(嘎吱作响的)systems for educating adults.These hand dropouts second chances;they also serve people who change careers and help migrants integrate.Yet people with the weakest skills tend to have the least time and money for 高三英语试题第6页（共12页） self-improvement.They are less likely to attend adult classes,or get training,even though they are the most in need. 28.Which of the following best describes the result of the test? A.Encouraging.B.Debatable. C.Disappointing. D.Predictable. 29.What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A.The development of technology. B.The necessity of advanced education. C.The living conditions of modern adults. D.The importance of calculating and reading skills. 30.What is indicated by the example of England's adults in paragraph 5? A.The older adults perform better in the test. B.England's education to teenagers is ineffective. C.Children have to participate in different exams. D.Stricter academic requirements to teenagers count. 31.What can we learn about the weakest-skilled adults? A.They seek chances to get improved. B.They are in need of more job offers. C.They lack training to upgrade themselves. D.They are content with the current situation. D Leonardo da Vinci's world-famous painting,the Mona Lisa,inspired the Mona Lisa effect:the subject of an image is always looking directly at you,no matter where you stand. But according to research by scientists from Germany's Bielefeld University,published in the journal i-Perception,there's one painting that definitively doesn't demonstrate the Mona Lisa effect:the Mona Lisa herself. Horstmann and his assistants asked 24 participants to assess the stare of the Mona Lisa. Instead of simply asking each participant whether they felt the Mona Lisa was looking at them,they displayed the painting on a computer screen,and asked the participants to measure the direction of the stare on a two-meter ruler placed horizontally (k) between them and the screen. 高三英语试题第7页（共12页） The distance between the participants and the computer screen remained the same,at 66 cm,but the ruler was moved both closer to and further away from the sereen throughout the trial.The researchers also altered the size and visible area of the Mona Lisa to determine whether the perception of her stare was influenced by particular elements of her face.The participants were asked to respond to the painting at various degrees of zoom () between 30%and 70%,and saw crops that only included her eyes and nose,as well as others that showed her whole head.To avoid the participants settling on the same measurement on the ruler every time,the participants were showed the Mona Lisa moved 3.4 cm to the left and right. Previous research cited in the study indicates the range of the Mona Lisa effect:the subject of an image will appear to be looking at its viewer if its stare is within 5 degrees to the left or right.The stare of the "Mona Lisa",however,was measured by the study participants at an average angle of 15.4 degrees to the right-in short,the Mona Lisa is definitely not looking at her audience. "There is no doubt about the existence of the Mona Lisa effect,"Horstmann concluded. "It just does not occur with Mona Lisa herself. 32.What's the purpose of paragraph 1? A.To present the topic of the text. B.To argue over a conclusion. C.To popularize some knowledge. D.To provide some guidance. 33.How was the research carried out? A.By conducting a questionnaire survey. B.By comparing different types of paintings. C.By evaluating the subject from different angles. D.By analyzing the main features of the painting. 34.What does the underlined word "crops"in paragraph 4 mean? A.Parts of a painting. B.Techniques of drawing. C.Movements of a picture. D.Measurements of a photo. 35.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.The Mona Lisa:A Masterpiece B.Does Mona Lisa Really Look at You? C.A Phenomenon:The Mona Lisa Effect D.What Is the Range of the Mona Lisa Effect? 高三英语试题第8页（共12页） 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。 Online shopping often involves endless options and dizzying discounts.36 What if there is a tool capable of hunting for the best prices and making sure your purchases arrive on time? 37 They are capable of autonomous reasoning and multistep problem-solving.AI shopping agents not only suggest what you might like,but also act on your behalf.Imagine this:You remind Al to find a winter coat under 200 that's highly rated and will arrive by Sunday.In seconds,it scans websites,compares prices,checks reviews,confirms availability and places the order.all while you go about your day. Unlike traditional recommendation engines,AI agents learn your preferences and handle tasks autonomously.The agents are built with machine learning and natural language processing.38 Looking ahead,AI agents are likely to not only master personal shopping needs but also negotiate directly with corporate AI systems.They are likely to be able to book tailored experiences and handle payments across platforms. Consumers today are focused on value,looking for deals and comparing prices across platforms.Having an assistant perform these tasks could be a remarkable time saver. 39 A recent study using the GPT-4.0 model achieved 85%accuracy in copying the thoughts and behaviors of over 1,000 people after they interacted with the Al for just two hours,which is really a breakthrough. AI agents are moving beyond recommendations to autonomously performing complex tasks such as automating refunds (and approving pricing decisions.40 A.But can AI truly learn your preferences? B.The new innovation in artificial intelligence is Al agents. C.Companies using AI agents are seeing measurable benefits. D.A single search for running shoes can produce hundreds of results. E.They can learn from their interactions with users and become smarter. F.This is reshaping consumers'shopping habits and how businesses operate. G.Meanwhile,the nature of search and advertising is undergoing a major shift. 高三英语试题第9页（共12页） 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Sarah Stewart's favourite saying is "It's never too late to pursue a dream".At an age when many are settling into retirement,Sarah decided to 41 her life.After decades as a midwife(助产士)，wife and mother,.the62-year-old has42_from delivering babies to delivering jokes by taking to the 43 as a comedian.
