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 As Pakistan and China are marking 2023 as a Year of Tourism, Pakistan’s breathtaking natural beauty, diverse cultural heritage and historical landmarks are all set to catch the attention of tourists. 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) 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. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 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 As Pakistan and China are marking 2023 as a Year of Tourism, Pakistan’s breathtaking natural beauty, diverse cultural heritage and historical landmarks are all set to catch the attention of tourists.

B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了作者对数学等式的新认识及感悟。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段“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. (我曾以为，只有文字才能捕捉人类灵魂的精髓。文学作品蕴含着各式各样的故事，这些故事塑造了我们看待世界的方式。文字构成了我们试图探索的问题，以及这些问题的答案本身。文字就是一切)”可知，作者在第一段强调了文字的表现力，即文字能够表达很多东西。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。由文章倒数第三段中“The left side was unchangeable, objective: it contained a number that ended. (左边是不可改变的、客观的：它包含了一个有终点的数字)”以及倒数第二段中“ 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. (等式的左边代表着生活中有时是如此不可改变且清晰明了。就像你出生和死亡的具体、完整的日期)”可知，等式左边的“1”是不变的、客观的，代表着生活中像出生和死亡的具体日子这样明确的事实，是确定的、不可改变的。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段“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. (这个等式既神秘又吸引人。左边是不可改变的、客观的：它包含了一个有终点的数字。而右边则是无限的，数字无休止地重复着。然而，不知何故，这两个截然相反的事物却被一个等号连接在了一起)”可知，正是这种两个不同的数（一个有限一个无限）却相等的方式让作者觉得这个等式很有吸引力。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由第一段中的“I used to believe that only words could catch the essence of the human soul. (我曾以为，只有文字才能捕捉人类灵魂的精髓)”和最后一段中的“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. (所以，生活就是这样。既客观又富有想象力，既不可改变又无限广阔。生活是一个两边平衡自身的等式。然而，我们似乎永远无法用完美的文字来描述它。所以，也许数字也能像文字一样同样好地表达思想。就目前而言，让我们就这样认为吧：1=0.99999…，并像这个等式一样去生活)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者从一个认为只有语言才能捕捉人类灵魂本质的文学爱好者，通过一个数学等式1=0.99999...的启发，认识到数字和语言一样可以表达思想，生活就像这个等式一样，是客观但富有想象力的，不可改变但无限的。因此，“The Perfect Equation (完美的等式)”最适合作为文章标题。故选A。 C Have you ever joyously stepped out to your backyard garden only to find your well-cared-for plants withered and dying?

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. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了去墨打印机的相关信息，包括其工作原理、优势、经济角度的考虑以及面临的挑战等。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“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.(去墨打印机的出现代表了印刷技术和纸张回收利用方面的一项进步，它解决了我们这个时代最为紧迫的环境挑战之一)”可知，去墨打印机的目标是减少资源浪费。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Using an advanced sensor system, it first identifies the presence of ink on the surface of the paper. Subsequently, a high-intensity laser is precisely directed to target and vaporize ink effectively, removing them without causing any damage to the paper fibers.(它首先使用先进的传感器系统识别纸张表面的墨水。随后，精确地将高强度激光对准目标，有效地汽化墨水，将其去除，而不会损坏纸张纤维)”可知，去墨打印机通过结合传感器和激光来从纸上去除墨水。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“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.(此外，在用户接受度方面存在重大障碍：许多个人和组织仍然习惯于使用新纸，即使回收纸的质量相当，他们也可能不愿意使用回收替代品)”可知，人们不愿意使用回收纸阻碍了去墨打印机的广泛应用。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“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.(总之，去墨打印机是实现印刷行业更可持续未来的一线希望。随着技术的不断进步和环保意识的增强，这项技术有潜力改变整个行业，为构建一个更加环保和资源高效的世界做出贡献)”可知，作者对去墨打印机的态度是乐观的。故选A。 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. 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. F 19. E 20.

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.
