Balochistan: Nature’s Bounty Unveiled Stretching across vast expanses, Balochistan is Pakistan’s largest province, boasting not only abundant mineral resources but unique natural beauty. Its mountain ranges, mines and extensive coastal belt, which is home to the prosperous Gwadar Port, attract adventurers. Punjab: A Tapestry of History and Heritage In the heart of Pakistan lies Punjab province, a land of green agricultural fields, intricate (交错的) river networks, ancient forts and charming Mughal-era gardens. Over two millennia (千年) ago, the Gandhara Buddhist civilization thrived in northern Pakistan, with Taxil a serving as its primary center of learning. Sindh: A Tapestry of History and Culture Sindh, in Pakistan’s southern region, weaves together a tale of history and natural beauty. It is home to the ancient city of Mohenjo-Daro, a relic of the Indus Valley Civilization, along with the modern city of Karachi and its picturesque coastline. Northern Pakistan: Nature’s Masterpiece Spread over 72,496 square kilometers, Pakistan’s northern regions are a masterpiece of nature. Among towering peaks, including numerous summits over 8,000 meters, peaceful valleys like Gilgit, Hunza and Skardu offer a brief escape. As Pakistan invites the world to explore its diverse and fascinating landscapes, it also extends a warm invitation to discovery the history, spirituality and natural wonders that define this remarkable nation. 1. As a Buddhist, your favorite destination in Pakistan might be __________. A. Balochistan B. Punjab C. Sindh D. Gilgit 2. What do the four parts have in common? A. Natural beauty. B. Historical origin. C. Cultural relics. D. Diverse resources. 3. The passage serves as a(n) __________. A. guidance B. introduction C. commercial D. notice B I used to believe that only words could catch the essence of the human soul. The literary works contained such distinct stories that they shaped the way we saw the world. Words were what composed the questions we sought to uncover and the answers to those questions themselves. Words were everything. That belief changed. In an ordinary math class, my teacher posed a simple question: What’s 0.99 rounded to the nearest whole number? Easy. When rounded to the nearest whole number, 0.99=1. Somehow, I thought even though 0.99 is only 0.01 away from 1, there’s still a 0.01 difference. That means even if two things are only a little different, they are still different, so doesn’t that make them completely different? My teacher answered my question by presenting another equation:1=0.9, which could also be expressed as 1=0.99999... repeating itself without ever ending. There was something mysterious but attractive about the equation. The left side was unchangeable, objective: it contained a number that ended. On the right was something endless, number repeating itself limitless times. Yet, somehow, these two opposed things were connected by an equal sign. Lying in bed, I thought about how much the equation paralleled our existence. The left side of the equation represents that sometimes life itself is so unchangeable and so clear. The concrete, whole number of the day when you were born and the day when you would die. But then there is that gap in between life and death. The right side means a time and space full of limitless possibilities, and endless opportunities into the open future. So that’s what life is. Objective but imaginative. Unchangeable but limitless. Life is an equation with two sides that balances itself out. Still, we can’t ever truly seem to put the perfect words to it. So possibly numbers can express ideas as equally well as words can. For now, let’s leave it at that:1=0.99999... and live a life like it. 4. What does the author emphasize about words in Paragraph 1? A. Their wide variety. B. Their literary origins. C. Their different sounds. D. Their expressive power. 5. What may the number “1” refer to? A. Valuable chances. B. Definite facts. C. Creativity imagination. D. Social development. 6. What made the author find the equation attractive? A. The repetition of a number. B. The difference between the two numbers. C. The question the teacher raised. D. The way two different numbers are equal. 7. What is a suitable title for the text? A The Perfect Equation B. Numbers Build Equations C. An Attractive Question D. Words Outperform Numbers C Have you ever joyously stepped out to your backyard garden only to find your well-cared-for plants withered and dying? Was the soil too dry? Did pests find their way in? During times like these, some frustrated gardeners may wish their plants would just tell them what they need. A new Microsoft-partnered project in the UK is trying to see if that concept can be demonstrated in the real world. Next year, at the Chelsea Flower Show, the Royal Horticultural Society in England will show off an “intelligent garden” that uses an AI model to monitor the garden’s environment and inform gardeners when it needs care. Visitors can ask the AI-powered garden questions. The model could then respond with phrases like “I need a bit more water,” or “I could use a haircut” depending on data captured in the soil. Aside from the pleasant novelty of chatting with plants, the garden will provide visitors with a physical representation of the many ways AI technologies could be used to enhance sustainability efforts. The Intelligent garden will rely on a network of sensors nestled throughout the garden measuring environmental factors like soil moisture and nutrient levels as well as wind and rainfall. All of that data is then sent to a specially designed AI model. The model, powered by Microsoft’s Azure Open AI Service, can then analyze those factors and inform gardeners on feeding, watering, or trimming. Onsite plant caretakers aren’t the only ones who can interact with the garden. Visitors to the show can also walk up to virtual platforms and ask the intelligent garden questions about its current environmental state. The AI language module will then interpret the data and respond to the visitors in a conversational dialogue. In theory, insights provided by models like this could help gardeners allocate resources efficiently and avoid over-watering plants before rainfall, both of which can aid in sustainability efforts. Those tools could bring convenience to casual growers or businesses looking to reduce costs. It’s unclear, however, whether even the best models can provide the same level of care as experienced gardeners. 8. What’s the possible effect of the intelligent garden project? A. It’ ll increase the profits for gardening industry. B. It’ ll replace human gardeners with AI technology. C. It’ ll promote sustainable development of gardening. D. It’ ll create an attraction at the Chelsea Flower Show. 9. How does the intelligent garden know what plants need? A. Via dialogues with gardeners. B. Through computers in the garden. C. By analyzing data from the sensors. D. By examining plants for signs of pests. 10. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The AI model will be widely used. B. The AI model helps save resources. C. The AI model can forecast the weather. D. The AI model makes gardeners unnecessary. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. Future gardens will be controlled by AI. B. The Chelsea Flower Show amazes audience. C. The intelligent garden is embraced by gardeners. D. AI technology helps to make gardens sustainable. D The emergence of de-inking printers represents an advancement of printing technology and paper recycling, addressing one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. For decades, conventional printing processes have been linked to substantial paper waste, with millions of tons of paper being consumed annually-often used just once before being thrown away. The innovative de-inking printer operates through a combination of advanced technologies. Using an advanced sensor system, it first identifies the presence of ink on the surface of the paper. Subsequently, a high-intensity laser (激光) is precisely directed to target and vaporize (汽化) ink effectively, removing them without causing any damage to the paper fibers. One of the most remarkable advantages of this technology lies in its potential to reduce overall paper consumption. By enabling the reuse of printed materials through effective ink removal, it significantly reduces the demand for newly produced paper. This shift not only preserves natural resources but also plays a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions associated with the paper production. From an economic perspective (角度), the adoption of de-inking printers presents long-term financial advantages. Although the initial investment in purchasing and installing the printer may be relatively high, the long-term savings from reduced paper and ink purchases can be substantial. However, the widespread adoption of de-inking printers is not without its challenges. The technology requires further improvements to enhance de-inking efficiency and ensure that the quality of recycled paper meets industry standards. Additionally, there exists a significant barrier in terms of user acceptance: many individuals and organizations remain accustomed to using new paper and may be reluctant to recycled alternatives, even when they are of comparable quality. In conclusion, the de-inking printer stands as a ray of hope for achieving a more sustainable future within the printing industry. With continued technological advancements and growing environmental awareness, this technology has the potential to transform the industry, contributing to a more eco-friendly and resource-efficient world. 12 What is the de-inking printer aimed at? A. Recycling the used ink. B. Producing recyclable paper. C. Improving the printing speed. D. Reducing the waste of resources. 13. How does the de-inking printer remove ink from paper? A. By adding chemicals into the ink. B. By combining sensors and lasers. C. By converting paper into new materials. D. By using laser to burn letters on the paper. 14. What blocks the broad application of de-inking printer? A. It can only be used with special ink. B. It is too large to be used in most offices. C. People are unwilling to use recycled paper. D. Users find it complex to understand. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards de-inking printer? A. Optimistic. B. Doubtful. C. Neutral. D. Negative. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选择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。 When education fails to keep pace with technology, the result is inequality. Without the skills to stay useful as innovations arrive, workers suffer. ____16____ That fundamental insight seized reformers in the Industrial Revolution, boosting state-funded universal schooling. The combination of education and innovation, spread over decades, led to a remarkable flowering of prosperity. Today, robotics and artificial intelligence call for another education revolution. However, this time, working lives are so lengthy and fast-changing that simply adding more schooling at the start is not enough. People must also be able to acquire new skills throughout their careers. Lifelong learning starts at school. As a rule, education should not be narrowly vocational (职业的) ____17____ A focus on “thinking about one’s thinking” will make them better at picking up skills later in life. The market is innovating to offer employees chances to. learn and earn in new ways. Providers are building businesses on the promise of boosting and restarting careers. Massive open online courses (MOOCs) have shifted away from lectures on Plato or black holes in favour of courses that make their students more employable. ____18____ Companies can also encourage their staff to learn. AT&T, a telecoms firm wanting to equip its workforce with digital skills spends $30m a year on paying employees’ tuition costs. ____19____ This is particularly useful for workers in small firms or the self-employed, for whom company-provided training is unlikely. A union-run training programme in Britain has support from political parties on the right and left. If new ways of learning are to help those who need them most, policymakers should be aiming for something far more fundamental or extensive. Governments have a vital role — not just by spending more, but also by spending wisely. One way is for citizens to receive vouchers (抵用券) that they can use to pay for training. ____20____ It has given money to everyone over 25 to spend on any of the 500 approved courses. A. Singapore has such “individual learning accounts”. B. The importance of lifelong learning cannot be overstated. C. And if enough of them fall behind, society starts to fall apart. D. The curriculum needs to teach children how to study and think. E. Besides, trade unions can play a useful role as organizers of lifelong learning. F. Universities enable workers to improve their skills by offering degrees online. G. However, companies should not rely only on trade unions for employee training. 第三部分 语言运用(共三节，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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I was an angry adolescent in my first years of college.

Lily and her friends, James and Emily, were lost in the wilds, their hearts heavy with fear and uncertainty. They had been exploring the unexplored for days, but a wrong turn had led them off the course. The air was filled with the whispering of insects and the rustling (沙沙声) of leaves in the wind. Lily held her compass (指南针) tightly, but it seemed to be swinging in circles, offering no clear direction. James, their fearless leader, scanned the horizon for any sign of civilization, but the only thing visible was the shades of trees stretching into the distance. Emily’s face was pale, her eyes filled with tears. She grabbed a branch tightly, as if it could provide some comfort in this moment of desperation. Lily reached out and grasped her hand, offering a silent promise. “We’ll find our way,” James said, his voice steady. “Just stay close and trust each other.” Just then, they heard a distant roar (咆哮) that shook the ground beneath their feet. The roar grew louder, echoing through the forest like a thunderclap. Lily’s heart skipped a beat, and she tightened her grip on Emily’s hand. James raised his arm, signaling them to stay silent and still. Slowly, the source of the roar emerged from the shadows. It was a huge bear, its fur a mixture of brown and black, and its eyes flashing with a violent light. The bear smelled the air, and then its gaze settled on the three friends. James moved forward his hands raised in a calming gesture. “Stay still,” he whispered. “Don’t make any sudden movements.” Lily’s mind raced. She knew they had to find a way to escape, but with the bear blocking their path, every option seemed impossible. Suddenly, she spotted a small stream nearby, its water glinting in the fading light. 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。 “The stream!” She shouted in a low excited voice. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Relief flooded through their bodies as they continued their downstream journey. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 南阳市一中2025年春期高三第十五次限时训练 英语试题 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A 【1~3题答案】 【答案】1.

Yours, Li Hua 第二节(满分25分) 【47题答案】 【答案】参考范文 “The stream!” She shouted in a low excited voice. “We can follow it downstream. It might lead us to civilization.” James nodded quickly, and they began to edge their way towards the stream, keeping their eyes fixed on the bear. Inch by inch, they moved closer, their hearts pounding in their chests. Finally, they reached the stream. James gave a gentle signal, and they turned, putting their backs to the bear as they cautiously stepped into the water. The bear watched them go, its eyes following their every move. But as they moved further away, it seemed to lose interest and eventually turned away, disappearing back into the depths of the forest. Relief flooded through their bodies as they continued their downstream journey. The light of the moon guided them through the night, and they whispered encouraging words to each other as they pressed onward. Hours later, they stumbled upon a small village, its lights twinkling in the distance. They had made it. Their hearts filled with joy and gratitude as they walked towards the warmth of a new beginning. The journey home was long, but with every step, they grew stronger, knowing that they had faced their fears and emerged victorious in the end. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
