Free Space As the name suggests,this performing-arts center is designed to be flexible and imaginative. The bunker-like complex houses a black box theater and studios for experimental performances and dance,as well as the Lau Bak Livehouse,a coffeehouse and bar with live music on weekends. Hong Kong Palace Museum Resembling a Chinese gold ingot(金元宝)，this museum showcases artifacts from China's imperial palaces,including Ming dynasty ceramics,scroll paintings,and double-headed dragons from the National Palace Museum in Beijing's Forbidden City. 高三英语试卷第1页（共10页） Art Park Hugging the waterfront promenade,this expansive lawn is an ideal place for joggers, picnickers,museum-goers,and dog walkers.There are more than a dozen places to eat and drink throughout-around sunset,grab a seat at one of the harbor side cafes below the Palace Museum. The facilities are spotless,too. Xiqu Center This performance hall,which hosts Cantonese opera,has an exterior with aluminum shingles that resemble fish scales.A large opening fills the atrium (with breezes and natural light.Even if xiqu(Chinese opera)isn't your cup of tea,the public atrium is an inviting place to rest before exploring the shops along Canton Road. 21.What do Free Space and Art Park have in common? A.People can walk dogs there. B.People can enjoy coffee there. C.People can listen to music there. D.People can watch the sunset there. 22.Which of the following does the Hong Kong Palace Museum display? A.Modern art. B.Gold ingot. C.Chinese artifacts.

B Three days ahead of his 20th birthday,Pan Zhanle of China produced a swim at the Paris Olympics that catapulted him to Olympic gold and international attention.Pan broke his own world record in the 100 metres freestyle,his time of 46.40 seconds at Paris La Defense Arena destroying his previous best of 46.80,set in February. Born in Wenzhou,Pan is regarded as China's"flying fish".Outstanding fitness earned him a spot in the Wenzhou Youth Swimming School's talent class at the age of four."Once I started swimming,I couldn't stop."Aged 10,Pan made a splash with seven gold medals in five days during the 2014 Zhejiang Provincial Games. 高三英语试卷第2页（共10页） His commitment was such that whereas most swimmers'mistakes or shortcomings would lead coaches to impose (harder training,Pan's coach would instead reduce his training as a form of discipline."I would punish him by not allowing him to get in the pool,and he would feel really uncomfortable,"Pan's former coach Wang Shi told Chinese media."He just really loves swimming."In 2023,Pan made his move.He broke the Asian record in the men's 100m freestyle at the Chinese national championships with a time of 47.22,a mark he then beat again at that year's Asian Games in Hangzhou,with 46.97. In 2022,American swimming coach Mark Schubert suggested that Pan switch to the individual medley(个人混合泳比赛)，on the basis that Chinese swimmers were unlikely to beat those of other nations as 100m freestyle specialists.His conclusion seemed to act as a challenge to Pan.“T'm rebellious(叛逆的)by nature,”Pan replied to Schubert after Doha,showing him his gold medal."The more others doubt my abilities,the more determined I am to prove them wrong.” 24.Why does the author mention the previous record set in February? A.To show the record is extremely hard to break. B.To show Pan has gained international attention. C.To indicate the fierce competition in swimming. D.To indicate Pan's capacity to go beyond himself. 25.What do the underlined words"made a splash"probably mean? A.Attracted great attention. B.Earned a big fortune. C.Started a better training. D.Caused some trouble. 26.What would make Pan unhappy in the training? A.Failing to meet the coach's standard. B.Being forbidden to swim in the pool. C.Getting involved in much harder training. D.Being punished to train for a longer time. 27.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.Pan was inspired by the American coach. B.Pan always goes against the coach's advice. C.Doubt motivates Pan rather than beats him. D.Showing off his gold medals is Pan's habit. 高三英语试卷第3页（共10页） C In today's interconnected world,maintaining personal independence is more important than ever.While cooperating with and relying on others are essential aspects of modern life,an overdependence on external (systems,technology,or individuals can gradually destroy autonomy,kill personal growth,and compromise one's ability to deal with challenges. First,independence develops self-reliance and adaptability.In a rapidly changing world, individuals must adapt to unexpected circumstances,from economic downturns (to technological disruptions.For example,someone who has developed financial knowledge and self-sufficiency is better equipped to handle economic challenges than someone who relies entirely on others for support.Independence enables individuals to take control of their lives and make informed decisions without being overly influenced by external forces. Second,independence promotes personal growth and self-fulfillment.Relying too much on others can limit one's opportunities to explore,take risks,and learn from mistakes.When individuals independently pursue their goals and passions,they gain confidence,skills,and a sense of purpose.For example,starting a personal project or business without external backing challenges people to innovate and think critically,developing creativity and problem-solving abilities. Maintaining independence protects individuality and personal identity in a world where conformity()is often encouraged.Social media and cultural trends can pressure individuals to agree with popular opinions or adopt popular lifestyles,potentially hiding their true selves. Independence allows people to form their own beliefs,values,and priorities,making them more empowered to contribute uniquely to society. Critics might argue that independence risks isolation or the loss of community values. However,independence does not prevent cooperation or meaningful relationships.In fact,truly independent individuals often bring more value to relationships because they contribute from a place of strength and confidence rather than dependency. Maintaining independence in today's society is vital for personal growth.While mutual support and interdependence are valuable,they should not come at the cost of autonomy. Keeping a balance between cooperation and independence ensures individuals can thrive in an ever-evolving world. 28.Who may handle economic challenges better according to Paragraph 2? A.People depending on themselves. B.People making innovative decisions. C.People influenced by external forces. D.People relying on unexpected settings 高三英语试卷第4页（共10页） 29.Why does independence matter in a world encouraging conformity? A.It makes people form common beliefs B.It allows people to maintain self-hood. C.It enables people to lead cultural trends. D.It helps people develop their intelligence. 30.Which can best describe an independent person in relationships? A.Confident and helpful. B.Isolated and indifferent. C.Cooperative and proud. D.Critical and autonomous. 31.How is the passage mainly developed? A.By inferring and comparing. B.By showing cause and effect. C.By giving opinions and examples. D.By stating problems and solutions. D Heating and lighting buildings consume a significant portion of global energy-about 18%, according to the Interational Energy Agency.Many buildings have outdated HVAC systems 调通风系统)that respond slowly to weather changes,leading to energy waste.However,.AIis seen as a potential solution.While AI itself can be energy-intensive-Microsoft has acknowledged that its AI development threatens climate goals-experts believe AI can improve energy efficiency in large buildings.A 2024 study suggests that AI could reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions in buildings by at least 8%,and initial efforts to integrate AI into HVAC systems have been promising. Sam Ramadori,CEO of BrainBox Al,explains that large buildings often have thousands of HVAC components that need to work together efficiently.His company's technology uses predictive AI to send instructions every five minutes to various parts of the system,optimizing energy use and comfort.For example,the AI system at 45 Broadway begins warming the building in prediction of a cold front,and it adjusts heat distribution based on sunlight exposure. Researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have also explored AI's potential in building efficiency.Their study suggests that integrating AI with HVAC systems could reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions by 8%to 19%,or even more with active policy measures.AI can help minimize a building's carbon footprint throughout its lifecycle, from design to maintenance,by predicting equipment failures and reducing downtime () 高三英语试卷第5页（共10页） Other initiatives have shown similar benefits.In Stockholm,AI tools were applied in 87 HVAC systems in educational facilities,resulting in an annual reduction of 64 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (and an 8%decrease in electricity usage.The University of Maryland's Center for Environmental Energy Engineering also supports the idea that AI can significantly reduce power consumption in complex HVAC systems,especially those with both indoor and outdoor units. As the globe warms,efficient cooling systems will be increasingly important.Arash Zarmehr,a building performance consultant at the engineering firm WSP,says that "All engineers are aware that human controls on HVAC systems reduce efficiencies,"he says."AI can help us move toward the actual decarbonization of buildings." 32.What does the 2024 study show? A.AI contributes to climate change. B.AI consumes much global energy. C.AI decreases energy consumption. D.AI is widely used in HVAC systems. 33.How can AI help building efficiency? A.By shortening a building's lifecycle. B.By minimizing HVAC's components. C.By regulating heat distribution randomly. D.By telling equipment failures in advance. 34.What is Arash Zarmehr's attitude towards the use of AI? A.Favorable. B.Neutral. C.Skeptical. D.Pessimistic. 35.What can be the best title of the text? A.The Challenges of AI's Rise B.The Energy Use in Buildings C.The Impact of HVAC Systems D.AI's Application in a New Field 高三英语试卷第6页（共10页） 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。 Societies encourage competition and focus on success."Giving up"is frowned upon.

The one thing I've always liked about China 61(be)that they respect people who have a 62(tend)to take things easy.In a city like Chengdu,I'd heard,this kind of intellectual laziness was not only acceptable but also part of daily life.If you longed to have anything achieved, you'd better start with63 strong,hot cup of green tea.The fresh fragrance washed about you and your companions as you thought,chatted or played.Chengdu is just as busy as any city struggling 64(become)as wealthy as it can be.However,the roots in culture are still deep, and can 65 (feel)even still. 第四部分写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 假定你是李华，你的英国笔友Tom即将要来中国游玩，希望你给他推荐一道你喜欢的 小吃或者菜肴。请你就此给他回一封邮件，内容包括： 1.描述推荐的食物： 2.说明推荐的理由。 注意：1.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 2.词数80个左右； 3.短文开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数 Dear Tom, Best regards!

For as long as she could remember,Aria had found peace beneath its branches.It was her place where the world felt right,and everything seemed eternal.But over the years,things started to change.The village with towering trees had been replaced by a place with modern buildings and shopping centers,where plastic bags and waste can be seen everywhere.The paths hidden in the town had been turned into broad roads.Winters grew warmer,the river ran lower, and the once-lively fields seemed to lose their energy.Every season felt different,more unpredictable than the last. One day,as Aria sat beneath the oak tree,she noticed something that made her upset.The tree,which had once been full of life,had begun to lose its leaves far earlier than usual.It wasn't autumn,.yet the leaves were dry and brittle(跪弱的)，falling one by one with wind.She pressed her hand against the trunk.It seemed weaker somehow,as if the tree was trying to hold on. "Why are you losing your leaves?"Aria whispered to the oak. Of course,the tree didn't answer,but deep down,she knew the cause.For years,Aria had heard talks of climate change-on the news,in her school,in conversations between her parents-but it always felt distant,like something happening far away.Now,it was right here in front of her,affecting the place she loved most. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Determined to find the exact answer,Aria set off to the library. The next day,Aria organized a meeting at the town hall,where she shared what she had learned with her friends and family. 高三英语试卷第10页（共10页）
