B Four-year-old Camila loves to dress up and rarely leaves the house without lipstick. Camila’s mother Annette Vea Lopez didn’t always know how to respond to Camila’s self-expression, but since participating in the Casa de los Ninos Parents as Teachers program, she now accepts her daughter’s fashion choices happily. “Camila’s been very independent since she was very young,” Vea Lopez said. “Adults would always comment on her makeup and how she dressed. She was always very girly. She’s 4 now and still that way. That’s just her personality. We love her just as she is. And we love that Parents as Teachers always encouraged us to let Camila be herself.” Vea Lopez heard about the Parents as Teachers home visitation program from a friend who suggested that she take part then 1-year-old Camila. The FTFPSRP Council funds this program to help parents become their child’s first and best teacher. Parents as Teachers gives families personalized, in-home support through a trained parent educator. During home visits, the parent educator introduced the family to activities that support social-emotional development, such as being able to recognize and label emotions. Vea Lopez notices the impact these activities have had on her daughter. “I see that Camila’s confidence and self-esteem have grown. She began to open up to me more and talk about when she was feeling anxious or what she needed support with.” said Vea Lopez. Camila recently graduated from the program and is ready for kindergarten. Vea Lopez feels indebted to Parents as Teachers for helping get her there. 24. How did Annette feel about Camila’s self-expression at first? A. Helpless. B. Favorable. C. Unclear. D. Indifferent. 25.

XR, an umbrella term including technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality( AR) and Mixed Reality( MR), refers to real-and-virtual combined environments and human-machine interactions generated by wearable devices and computer technology. As XR technologies become more mature, they have been gradually applied in more scenarios (场景 ) that are closely related to the daily life of ordinary people, and have seen new consumer markets in recent years. The application of XR technologies has made it possible for users to “travel to the past” and “wander in the universe” through virtual trips. An XR experience store in Shenzhen, recently launched a programe for citizens, which involved digital tours to the Jurassic period (侏罗纪) and outer space. XR technologies have also been integrated into the application scenarios concerning smart tourism projects. XR technologies can help tourist attractions launch systems that enable visitors to better learn about faraway places and remote times in immersive(沉浸式的 ) scenes, as well as tourist guide systems and other systems that bring wonderful experiences for visitors through VR or AR glasses, mobile apps and browsers. Compared with offline tours, scenarios reproduced by XR technologies can enrich the experiences of users. China’s Spring Festival Gala last year adopted XR technologies, enabling singers who couldn’t be present at the gala to give performances remotely. The XR industry is full of possibilities, and the 5G technology is considered a catalyst(催化剂) for further stimulating its potential. Last January, the branch of China Mobile, a major Chinese telecommunications operator in Zhengzhou, built the province’s first “5G + XR” commercial complex in shopping mall. Industry insiders pointed out that with constant progress being made in the large-scale deployment of the 5G network and its innovative applications, the “5G+XR” model is producing a large number of new application scenarios including social networking, office work, entertainment, exhibition and education, which will provide broad development space for the XR industry. 28. What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A. The historical development of XR technologies. B. The XR technologies and their commercial value. C. The challenges faced by the XR industry in the global market. D. The comparison between XR and other emerging technologies. 29. How does XR help in daily life? A. Help visitors better plan their travel routes. B. Take users to travel in outer space in person. C. Let singers in different places share the same stage. D. Make tourist attractions more environmentally friendly. 30. What can be inferred from the passage about the “5G+XR” model? A. It has been widely used in Zhengzhou. B. It will lead to more people to fail to socialize. C. It will create many new opportunities for people. D. It has made traditional shopping malls disappear. 31. How does the writer introduce the use of XR technologies in the text? A. By listing data. B. By giving examples. C. By making comparisons. D. By explaining reasons. D 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 5 Evolution can perform spectacular changes. But some organisms like the coelacanth, a modern-day fish, seem to change very little over eras. Scientists have long wondered how these species withstand the pressures of natural selection. The current theory for this “stasis paradox (停滞悖论)” is that stabilizing selection, which favors moderate features , keeps some species unchanged , unlike directional selection that causes change. However, a study published in the PNAS contradicts this idea, showing that evolution constantly favors different features in seemingly unchanging animals that improve short-term survival. In the long term, though, “all that evolution cancels out and leads to no change,” says the study’s lead author, James Stroud, a biologist at the Georgia Institute. Stroud and his colleagues studied four anole lizard(变色龙蜥蜴 ) species, all relatively unchanged for 20 million years, living on a small island in Florida. The researchers captured members of these populations every six months for three years. They measured each lizard’s head size, leg length, mass and height, as well as the size of its sticky toe pads, noting which individuals survived. Stroud expected to observe stabilizing selection at work preserving moderate features. Instead he saw clearer evidence of directional selection: some lizards with unique features, such as stickier toes survived better in the short term. In each generation, though, the best features changed — for instance, long legs aided survival in some years and short legs in others. The direction and strength of selection swung so much that sometimes there was no clear pattern. Because the new study shows that natural selection favored extreme features from year to year rather than moderate ones, its results don’t support the theory of stabilizing selection. Many new features are evolving in the short term, but they don’t provide a crucial advantage over the long term. In other words, species in stasis may simply have found the best possible combination of features for lasting success in their environment. So what happens when a static (静态的) species environment changes more dramatically? To help answer this bigger question, Stroud is still making trips to Florida to follow ever more generations of the lizards. 32. What is “stasis paradox” according to the text? A. Directional selection keeps some species unchanged. B. Some species change rapidly while others remain unchanged. C. Some species seem free from the pressures of natural selection. D. Stabilizing selection prefers extreme features keeping species changed. 33. What did Stroud and his colleagues do in the study of anole lizards? A. Comparing different lizard species and studying their fossils. B. Studying various features of lizards and their survival. C. Measuring the survival rate of lizards every year. D. Focusing on the living conditions of lizards. 34. What did Stroud find in the study of anole lizards? A. Some features of lizards changed in a short term. B. Stabilizing selection played a key role in evolution. C. Many evolved new features can offer a lasting benefit. D. Sharp environment changes caused great effects on lizards. 35. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Stabilizing Selection: The Key to Species Stasis. B. Stasis Paradox: The Traditional Theory Proven Right. C. Directional Selection: The Dominant Force in Species Evolution. D. Rethinking Stasis Paradox : Insights fromAnole Lizard Studies. 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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 6 余选项。 Sedimentay rock (沉积岩 ) is a type of rock that covers about three fourths of Earth’s land surface. 36 These layers can be seen clearly in steep rock walls. There are many different kinds of sedimentary rock. 37 Some sedimentary rocks form as wind and water leave behind small bits of rock and sand. Others form from chemicals or from the remains of living things. The most common kinds of sedimentary rock consist of deposits left behind by water. The water wears away rocks and carries away sand and small bits of rock. These minerals are deposited in many places. Over time, the deposits build up into layers. 38 The weight of the layers presses the bits of rock together. Water seeps through the layers, leaving minerals that cement the bits together to form rock. Some of the rocks formed by wind and glaciers are loess and tillite. 39 This yellow rock covers large regions of the world. A rock made up of large bits of rock that have combined together is called tillite. 40 Chalk and coal are two kinds of rock that form in this way. Chalk forms from animal skeletons and shells that gather on the floor of the sea. Coal is formed from the remains of plants. Over time, the layers of dead matter become solid chalk and coal. All sedimentary rock takes thousands of years to form. A. But they have different features. B. Each kind forms in a different way. C. Chalk and coal come from the same substances. D. Sedimentary rock can even form from the remains of living things. E. It is formed when minerals and other matter are deposited in layers. F. Weak rock formed from the dust blown by the wind is called loess. G. Over thousands of years, old layers of matter are covered by new layers. 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项， 并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 “What do you want to do for your birthday?

Months before this e-mail conversation, I wouldn’t have had the confidence to have asked for the opportunity. My complicated journey began as I undertook a nearly impossible mission to recreate my father-in-law’s military history. All his records were gone and the Army records center in St. Louis, Missouri, had suffered a fire, destroying Dad’s records. I wanted to fill in the blanks for him, but Dad was no longer with us. After he died, in his bedroom my husband George found a small, worn box. “What is that?” I asked him. “A pocket watch that Dad carried through his time in the Army during World War II,” he answered. “Wow! It is special,” I responded. “More than you know. Dad gave it to me before I left for basic training in 1961. I carried it during my tour of duty.” Tears shone in his eyes. Later, our son-in-law was sent to the front line. He was the third in line to receive the pocket watch. Meanwhile, after a full year of research, with the help of survivors who served with Dad, I was able to gather all his missing Army records. I thought my mission was completed. When our son-in-law returned home, having survived a fierce battle , he returned the pocket watch to us in an emotional account of how it had saved his life. The recreation of Dad’s military history now had another amazing story within it. Over fifty years, three generations of service members had carried the same pocket watch. I held the newly returned military pocket watch in my hands and said, “If only you could talk.” Then, I had an idea. Maybe I could be the voice of it and make it an narrator of the story. Eight years later, Guiding Pocket Watch was published, a historical novel evolving from digging into Dad’s military history. Writing a book is hard work, but it’s only the first step for me. Marketing and publicity are equally difficult. My family and friends encouraged me to promote Guiding Pocket Watch through the media, such as newspapers, magazines, TV shows, etc. 注意： 1.续写词数应为 150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 I told them I dare not approach the media for fear of being rejected. ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, I took their advice. ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 9 山东省临沂市2025届高三下学期一模考试英语试卷参考答案 21--23 CDB 24--27 ABDC 28--31 BCCB 32--35 CBAD 36--40 EBGFD 41--45 BADBC 46--50 DBCAD 51--55 BDAAC 56. to complete57. width 58. serving 59. an 60. features 61. is divided 62. and 63. which 64. of 65. cultural 第四部分 第一节 Dear Sir / Madam, I’d like to propose the following activity plan for the event themed stress relief and empowerment held by the English club. First of all, the English club can host English group games like word puzzles or team challenges where students solve tasks through English communication. In addition, it is a good idea to create a relaxation workshop with guided breathing exercises and simple art activities with the help of psychological health experts invited. Last but not least, the club can arrange a group discussion about stress-relief tips in English. These activities aim to create a supportive environment in which students can release academic pressure through laughter and creativity and let them build confidence in speaking and create friendship through shared experiences. I believe the event will make students feel supported and stronger to face the pressure. Yours, Li Hua 第二节 I told them I dare not approach the media for fear of being rejected. My heart was filled with nervousness. The thought of facing possible laughter made me hesitant. My family and friends, however, expressed their complete support. They kept emphasizing that every great success started with a brave step. They quoted numerous stories of people who overcame their fears and achieved remarkable things. Gradually, their words made me brave. I realized that if I didn’t try, I would never know what could happen. The desire to share Dad’s story and my book with the world began to outweigh my fear slowly. Finally, I took their advice. I summoned up my courage and started reaching out to various media. To my surprise, some media showed great interest. A local newspaper was the first to respond, expressing their eagerness to do a report on Guiding Pocket Watch. Then, a TV show invited me for an interview. During the interview, I poured out my heart, sharing the touching story behind the book, Dad’s military history, and the significance of the pocket watch. The book started to gain great popularity, and more and more people were touched. It was a dream come true, and I was grateful that I had overcome my fear and taken that crucial step. 第二部分 第一节 21.

D 根据文章第二段，本文通过蜥蜴研究挑战传统理论（稳定选择导致停滞），提出短期方向选择但长 期变化抵消的新观点。选项 D“重新思考停滞悖论：来自变色龙蜥蜴研究的启示”精准概括主题，突出研究 的颠覆性结论。其他选项或支持被反驳的理论（A、B），或片面强调方向选择（C），均不全面。 原文链接 https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/living-fossil-lizards-are-constantly-evolving-you-just-cant-see-it/ 第二节 36. E 根据后文 These layers can be seen clearly in steep rock walls.（在陡峭的岩壁上可以清楚地看到这些层） 可知，前文应提到沉积岩是由物质分层沉积形成的，E 选项 It is formed when minerals and other matter are deposited in layers.（当矿物质和其他物质分层沉积时就形成了它）符合语境，引出了沉积岩的形成方式与“层” 的关系。 37. B 根据后文 Some sedimentary rocks form as wind and water leave behind small bits of rock and sand. Others form from chemicals or from the remains of living things.（一些沉积岩是由风和水留下的小岩石和沙子形成的。 其他的则由化学物质或生物残骸形成）可知，不同种类的沉积岩形成方式不同，B选项 Each kind forms in a different way.（每一种形成的方式都不同）能概括这一内容。 38. G 根据后文 The weight of the layers presses the bits of rock together.（这些层的重量将岩石碎片挤压在一 起）可知，需要有新的层覆盖在旧的层上面才会产生重量，G选项 Over thousands of years, old layers of matter are covered by new layers.（经过数千年，旧的物质层被新的层覆盖）符合逻辑，解释了岩石碎片被挤压在 一起的原因。 39. F 根据前文 Some of the rocks formed by wind and glaciers are loess and tillite.（一些由风和冰川形成的岩 石是黄土和冰碛岩）以及后文 This yellow rock covers large regions of the world.（这种黄色的岩石覆盖了世 界上大片地区）可知，这里在介绍黄土，F选项Weak rock formed from the dust blown by the wind is called loess. （由风吹起的灰尘形成的松软岩石叫做黄土）符合语境，对黄土进行了定义和介绍。 40. D 根据后文 Chalk and coal are two kinds of rock that form in this way. Chalk forms from animal skeletons and shells that gather on the floor of the sea. Coal is formed from the remains of plants.（白垩和煤是通过这种方 式形成的两种岩石。白垩是由聚集在海底的动物骨骼和贝壳形成的。煤是由植物残骸形成的）可知，沉积 岩可以由生物残骸形成，D选项 Sedimentary rock can even form from the remains of living things.（沉积岩甚 至可以由生物残骸形成）能概括这部分内容。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 11 第三部分 第一节 41--45 BADBC 46--50 DBCAD 51--55 BDAAC 41. B. special 前文“I stuttered. ‘Something...’”（结结巴巴地说“一些……东西”）暗示作者想表达对“特别”生 日庆祝方式的诉求。A. outstanding（杰出的）：侧重成就，不贴合“生日庆祝”的日常场景。C. permanent （永久的）：与生日短暂性矛盾。D. strange（奇怪的）：情感色彩消极，与后文积极行为不符。只有 B项 能体现作者对“独特仪式感”的追求。 42. A. improve前文“I felt no event could... my attitude”（认为没有活动能改变对生日的态度）。 B. predict（预测）：与“改变态度”无关。C. maintain（维持）：与作者希望改变的意图矛盾。D. examine（检 查）：缺乏情感动态。A项“改善”呼应作者希望通过新方式扭转消极态度。 43.

C. annual生日是每年一次（annual）的事件。A. monthly（每月）、B. quarterly（季度）：与常识矛盾。 D. regular（定期）：泛指规律性，不如 annual具体。C项直接关联事件周期，明确且无歧义。 46. D. blessed后文列举的“影响作者生活的人”需具备正面情感色彩。A. pursued（追求）：中性词，不强调 对他人的影响。B. respected（尊重）：未体现主动给予祝福。C. served（服务）：过于功利化。D项“祝福” 体现受惠于他人的善意，符合语境。 47.

First of all, the English club can host English group games like word puzzles or team challenges where students solve tasks through English communication. In addition, it is a good idea to create a relaxation workshop with guided breathing exercises and simple art activities with the help of psychological health experts invited. Last but not least, the club can arrange a group discussion about stress-relief tips in English. These activities aim to create a supportive environment in which students can release academic pressure through laughter and creativity and let them build confidence in speaking and create friendship through shared experiences. I believe the event will make students feel supported and stronger to face the pressure. Yours, Li Hua 第二节 I told them I dare not approach the media for fear of being rejected. My heart was filled with nervousness. The thought of facing possible laughter made me hesitant. My family and friends, however, expressed their complete support. They kept emphasizing that every great success started with a brave step. They quoted numerous stories of people who overcame their fears and achieved remarkable things. Gradually, their words made me brave. I realized that if I didn’t try, I would never know what could happen. The desire to share Dad’s story and my book with the world began to outweigh my fear slowly. Finally, I took their advice. I summoned up my courage and started reaching out to various media. To my surprise, some media showed great interest. A local newspaper was the first to respond, expressing their eagerness to do a report on Guiding Pocket Watch. Then, a TV show invited me for an interview. During the interview, I poured out my heart, sharing the touching story behind the book, Dad’s military history, and the significance of the pocket watch. The book started to gain great popularity, and more and more people were touched. It was a dream come true, and I was grateful that I had overcome my fear and taken that crucial step. 首先分析第一段续写开头 I told them I dare not approach the media for fear of being rejected.这里表明作 者因害怕被拒绝而不敢接触媒体。接下来可以围绕作者内心的纠结、家人朋友进一步的鼓励等展开，丰富 作者从害怕到逐渐转变心态的过程。 对于第二段续写开头 Finally, I took their advice.则要描述作者接受建议后具体采取的行动，比如联系媒 体的过程、媒体的反应，以及最终书籍的推广效果和带来的影响等。 临沂市高三教学质量检测考试英语试题听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international club, can I help you?

My wise friend, Cynthia, advised, “If you don’t ask, you don’t ever allow anyone to say yes. What’s the worst thing they could say? No? Go away? But what if they say yes?” My husband, compared my dilemma to a sports competition. “Honey, you’ll miss 100 percent of the shots if you don’t take them.” My daughter, Margie, wisely commented, “Mom, the answer is always ‘no’ if you don’t ask.” Finally, I took their advice. I contacted the host of a local TV show whom I had met in a social setting actively. I told him all the remarkable experiences about the story of the book. He was moved and very interested in my account, saying “I love your story so much”. Meanwhile he invited me on his show. Two months later, Guiding Pocket Watch and I were on his TV show.” Since then, there have been newspaper and magazine articles, interviews etc. They all love the idea. How did it happen?

As it is, there’s only me to do everything. 第4页/共5页 科网（北京）股份有限公司 W: That must be really hard. M: It’s not easy! That’s one of the main reasons why my wife and I want at least two kids.

W: That’s right! M: What kind of research are you doing? W: I specialize in the study of deep ocean plant life. We took hundreds of samples from the Indian Ocean, then watched some of them grow in the laboratory. I can’t wait to see how they will grow in outer space, under very different conditions. M: How cool! W: I find what you do very interesting as well. I wish I knew more about computers. Will you make sure all the computers run smoothly? M: No. I used to specialize in airline flight tracking systems, so I will help guide our flight into orbit. I can teach you all the basics. After all, we’ll have a long time in space together once we start our mission. W: You can start by helping me figure out how to use the zero-gravity training room here.
