G. 幸运的是，你可以通过改变自己的行为来过一种低浪费的生活方式。 文章开头提到美国人每天产生大量垃圾，大部分都被填埋，因此这里提到可以通过改变自己的行为来过一种低浪费的生活方式，引出下文关于如何减少垃圾的建议。 37. D. 根据房间或活动来整理你的清单。 下文提到“你可能会在‘育儿室’一栏下写下‘用过的湿巾和纸巾’，或在‘烹饪’一栏下写下‘食物残渣和金属罐’”，因此这里建议根据房间或活动来整理垃圾清单，以便更好地了解垃圾来源。 38. E. 此外，想想如何创造性地保存你的剩饭剩菜。 上文提到“能省则省”，并举例了修补旧牛仔裤和剪旧T恤做抹布等节约方法，这里进一步提出创造性地保存剩饭剩菜的建议，如把熟透的香蕉放进冰箱做香蕉面包。 39. B. 这意味着自己做一些食物。 上文提到“要寻找不需要从包装里取出的食物来源”，这里进一步解释，即自己做一些食物，避免包装浪费。下文也给出了具体例子，如自己在家做燕麦奶并装在罐子里。 40. C. 寻找减少家庭以外垃圾的方法。 下文提到“一旦你开始注意到你在家里产生了多少垃圾，你就会开始在其他地方减少垃圾的产生”，因此这里建议寻找减少家庭以外垃圾的方法，如自带可重复使用的餐具去餐馆等。 Wx 我和猫咪的故事开始于多年前，而现在我不得不准备与她告别。那是2003年，我的一个童年朋友驻扎在北卡罗来纳州的布拉格堡，她是第82空降师的一员。她当天的跳伞任务已经完成了，在返回基地的路上，听到一间仓库里传来了猫叫声。 在里面，她发现了一只流浪猫，它虽然脏兮兮的，但却显得很骄傲，于是她决定把它带回家。很快，这只猫就适应了新家。有一天，我的朋友给我发了一封电子邮件，邮件里是她腿上放着一群可爱的小猫崽的照片。她问道：“你不想养一只吗？” 几周后，小猫崽们被放在了一辆吉普车的后座上，一路向北驶去。其中两只被送到了我父母家，还有一只跟着我到了我的公寓。由于它们的妈妈来自军营，所以这个家庭开玩笑说这些小猫都是“军用级别”的！ 渐渐地，我开始对我的猫咪产生了依恋。每当我向她讲述我们的故事时，她都会靠在我的前臂上：我描述了我们住过的公寓，我们遇到过的朋友，以及我们一起见证过的日落。几乎每天早上，我都会在她柔软的爪子轻抚我的脸颊中醒来。当然，她那明亮的眼睛融化了我的心，而她那在房间里洁白无瑕的肚皮是我一天中最美好的慰藉。 二十一年后，只剩下我一个人站着。猫咪病得很重，所以我知道离别的时刻就要到了。喜剧是悲剧加上时间。这是不变的规律。然而，我认为这里有一个关于“养育”的教训。 注： 41. 此处原文未给出具体人名，故保留“一个童年朋友”的译法。 42. “when she heard meowing coming from a warehouse”译为“在返回基地的路上，听到一间仓库里传来了猫叫声”，补充了“返回基地的路上”这一背景信息，使句子更加连贯。 43. “Inside, she 43 a stray(流浪的) cat”中的“43”为填空处，根据上下文可推断出应填入“found”（发现）。 44. “Soon, the cat was 44 .”中的“44”同样为填空处，根据上下文可推断出应填入“settled”（适应）。 45. “She 45 , ‘Don’t you want to have them?’”中的“45”为填空处，根据上下文和引号内的内容可推断出应填入“asked”（问）。 46. “her shock-white belly in the room was the best 52 throughout my day.”中的“52”为填空处，根据上下文可推断出应填入“comfort”（慰藉）。 47. “ 55 , I think there’s a lesson here about ‘nurture.’”中的“55”为填空处，但此处更像是一个总结性的陈述或转折，因此可以填入“However”（然而）等表示转折的词汇。但考虑到原文并未给出具体词汇，且此句在段落末尾作为总结，也可以不填任何词汇，直接以句号结尾。这里为了保持句子的完整性，我选择了“However”作为填空词汇。但请注意，这并不是唯一的答案。 Gramm “意大利当代艺术与丝绸之路上的艺术家”展览在西安大唐不夜城举行，为期37天，吸引了超过6万名观众。艺术爱好者张寅称，这一独特活动展现了中国传统与西方现代的融合，提供了一场跨越时空的迷人之旅。 展览路线从意大利出发，横跨丝绸之路沿线国家，最终回到西安——这条路线的起点。意大利外交部官员帕斯夸莱·特拉恰诺将此次展览视为复兴与对话的象征，强调了艺术在弥合文化鸿沟中的作用。 历史上，丝绸之路促进了中国与意大利之间的文化交流，这从马可·波罗的旅行以及中国文化在意大利的传播中得到了佐证。西安美术馆与意大利同行共同保存了这一遗产，此前还曾在佛罗伦萨举办了“超越城墙：西安当代艺术展”。 此次展览汇集了33位意大利艺术家的31件作品，展现了从20世纪60年代至今意大利艺术的多样化创意表达。其中，“万物归一”是一件尤为引人注目的作品，它以瓷器与有机玻璃制成，灵感源自中国风，体现了中意两国之间持久的文化纽带。 尽管该展览已在西安落幕，但它对文化景观产生的深远影响仍在持续发酵，促进了中意两国之间创意和谐的新时代。 注： 56. 此处应为过去分词held，表示展览是被举行的，但由于原句已给出hold的动词原形，故在翻译时直接翻译为“举行”。 57. enthusiastic的名词形式为enthusiast，表示“爱好者”。 58. 原文中的“an 5 (appeal) journey”存在错误，应为“an appealing journey”，表示“一场吸引人的旅程”。在翻译时已进行修正。 59. 原文中的“ending in Xi'an, 59 route's origin”存在语法错误，应为“ending in Xi'an, the route's origin”，表示“最终回到西安——这条路线的起点”。在翻译时已进行修正。 60. view...as...表示“将...视为...”。 61. historically为副词，表示“在历史上”。 62. which is evidenced by...表示“这从...中得到了佐证”。 63. Featured为过去分词，表示“以...为特色”。 64. which exemplified...为定语从句，修饰前面的作品“What holds it all together”，表示这部作品“体现了...”。 65. continue为动词原形，但在此处表示持续进行的动作，故翻译为“仍在持续发酵”。由于主语为the echo of its profound impact，为单数形式，故continue需用第三人称单数形式continues，但在翻译时为了保持句子的流畅性，仍翻译为“仍在持续”。 Zw 当德文的妹妹莉尔去上大学时，德文觉得心里七上八下的。这时，妈妈说来自印度的高中生卡皮尔将会住到他们家，住在莉尔的房间，因为他们是寄宿家庭。这个消息让德文的心情更糟了，因为他非常想念妹妹。“要是我听不懂他说话怎么办？”德文问。“他英语说得很好，”妈妈说。 卡皮尔来的第一天，他和德文简单聊了几句后就进了他的新房间。德文提醒自己，那是莉尔的房间。随着时间的推移，卡皮尔开始花更多时间在房子的其他地方。他经常在厨房里，他做的饭总是让空气中弥漫着水汽和香料味，熏得德文直流眼泪。“真香啊！”妈妈感叹道。几天后，莉尔打来电话，德文跟她讲了卡皮尔的厨艺。“真幸运！我喜欢印度菜！”莉尔说。“但对我来说似乎太辣了，”德文回答道。 有一天，妈妈要加班。“卡皮尔会陪你直到我回家，”她解释道。德文心里又七上八下了。以前妈妈加班时，莉尔总是陪着他。 德文放学回家时，卡皮尔在门口迎接他。“你想吃点零食吗？”卡皮尔问。德文耸了耸肩。以前莉尔和他放学后总是一起做饭，他们称之为“制造混乱”。卡皮尔打开冰箱。“来个酸奶怎么样？”“我早饭吃过一个了，”德文冷冷地回答。卡皮尔打开一个橱柜，笑了笑。“在这儿等着。”他拿着一个包裹回来了。“我来做个印度小吃，”他宣布道。卡皮尔拿出一种像小飞盘一样大小的薄脆饼，往锅里倒了些油，把脆饼炸了。然后厨房里就充满了辛辣的气味。过了一会儿，卡皮尔递给德文一个盘子，上面放着滋滋作响的煎饼。“这是印度薄饼，”他说，“是用豆粉做的。” 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 润新学校2025届高三周测 英语试题（11.22） 第二部分 阅读理解（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，并在答题卡上 将该项涂黑。 A Are you looking for your next great read?

I felt empty and frustrated at how much time I spent on my smartphone. So I spent the last five years steadily stripping my phone down to the basics. Social media was the first to go, then email, then news apps, and then even internet browsers. I long considered switching to a flip phone, but I always found an excuse to stay. Ultimately it was two of my students, 15- and 18-year-old sisters, who pushed me over the edge. Word spread around school that they had bought flip phones. If they were brave enough to take the plunge, I could, too. I spent $9 on a flip phone, plus $120 for a year of unlimited talk and text on a new number. For the last five months, I haven’t carried a smartphone with me, just my flip phone. This is the charming, romantic side of owning a flip phone: more conversations, more eye contact, more connection. The separation between work and life is much more noticeable. I don’t overthink work emails all day, since I no longer carry my work email in my pocket. I am living more like my creative, curious, phone-free children. This all sounds wonderful because it is wonderful. And now it’s confession time: I still have my smartphone. As it turns out, our addiction to smartphones is not just on an individual level. Intentionally or not, we have built structures that depend upon smartphone access, making it an essential feature of modern life. While most of the flip phone inconveniences are charming, some of them are so frustrating that they make you want to pull your hair out. Despite that, I will continue to use a flip phone as my primary phone so I don’t have to carry a smartphone with me. And I will continue to evangelize for it. I hope many others get flip phones. We will all be better for it. If nothing else, it’ll be nice to have more people to talk to in the grocery line. 24. What drove the author to switch to a flip phone? A. Disturbance of social media. B. Overspent time on his smartphone. C. Inspiration from his students. D. Negative feelings to smartphones. 25. What happened after the author used a flip phone? A. He got less work assignments. B. He had more interaction with people. C. He spent more time with his children. D. He lived a more romantic life. 26. Why is it difficult to stop using smartphones completely nowadays? A. They serve as a vital tool. B. They make people overthink. C. They represent the modern life. D. They bring people many profits. 27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To advise readers to use a flip phone. B. To advocate living without a smartphone. C. To inform readers of a flip phone’s advantages. D. To stress the disadvantages of having a smartphone. C The oak tree has been in southern England continuously for 12,000 years. But does it have a future? By 2050, London’s weather could resemble that of Barcelona, with long stretches of summer drought. These ancient trees were not designed to thrive in such conditions. Around the world, millions of creatures facing unprecedented temperatures and habitat loss are on the move. We do not tend to think of trees as migratory: they are slow-growing and rooted to the ground. Faced with this problem, the ecologist Charlie Gardner is one of a growing number proposing a radical, controversial solution: we help the trees on their march. Some scientists advocate moving individual species hundreds of kilo-meters north, within the country and from abroad. Others say entire ecosystems should be trans-located, moving multiple species at once. The “assisted migration” is divisive. Conservationists have long argued against introducing non-native species. They have concerns about unintended consequences of assisted migration. “Large-scale moving of ecosystems can’t be undone (撤销), so should be very much a last choice,” said Andrew Allen from the Woodland Trust. Allen believes we should prioritize helping native trees adapt to changes by encouraging natural regeneration, expanding and connecting existing woodlands. But others say those arguments fail to deal with speed or size of change caused by the climate crisis. “Earlier in my career the narrative was all about restoring past baselines, and then, as I got more independent in my research, I realized that’s impossible. We are changing the climate so much, so we have to be a little more inventive. When we have examples of assisted migration, it’s often with species which are absolutely on the edge of extinction and have run out of other options,” said Sarah Dalrymple, a conservation ecologist from Liverpool University, who is part of the task force. She wants to see assisted migration explored earlier, working with species before their populations become so small. “You can never get rid of all the risks, but there is also risk in inaction,” she said. “The risk of inaction is increasing every day.” 28. What is the problem facing ancient trees in London? A. Long summer. B. Habitat destruction. C. Extreme weather. D. Slow growth. 29. Which of the following statements may Andrew Allen agree with? A. Large-scale moving of ecosystems is impossible. B. Assisted migration may contribute to bad results. C. Non-native species are beneficial to ecosystems. D. Native species can survive changes by themselves. 30. What does Sarah Dalrymple urge people to do in the last paragraph? A. Stop changing the climate. B. Have more options to help species. C. Help native trees to adapt to climate changes. D. Take action earlier to prevent species’ extinction. 31. What might be the author’s attitude towards assisted migration? A. Supportive. B. Cautious. C. Objective. D. Doubtful. D In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money,” as well as unusually high salaries or suspiciously cheap services, because they seem “too good to be true.” In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely – compared with about 20 percent of those offered $5 as well. Nine further experiments, involving more than 4,000 participants, used online questionnaires to present other scenarios. These included being offered money to accept a ride home, extremely high construction-job wages and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain point, higher potential monetary gain reduced participants’ likelihood of accepting the offer. The study lead author Vonasch says it illustrates that contrary to the “standard economic model,” which supposes humans always seek to maximize gains, transactions need to also be understood as social interactions between people trying to understand each other’s minds. If someone seems to break accepted rules, such as self-interest, without any explanation, we assume they have hidden motives and infer there will be “phantom costs” —— imagined consequences that reduce what Vonasch calls an offer’s “psychological value.” Factors beyond the present moment may come into play. “Understanding that others’ perceived overgenerosity may put us in their debt could also help explain people’s reluctance,” says Rachel McCloy, a psychologist at England’s University of Reading. The researchers also showed how to mitigate the effect: simply provide a reason for the deal. The “cheap flights” experiment included a condition where the seats were revealed to be very uncomfortable. “Uncomfortable seats aren’t typically a selling point,” Vonasch says. “But telling people the seats were uncomfortable made them more willing to take them because it was sufficient explanation.” The scientists are now experimenting with whether phantom costs play into humans’ interactions with robots and artificial intelligence. “If AI is overly generous, will people imagine phantom costs?” Vonasch says. “People tend to treat AI as if they have a mind, when obviously they don’t.” 32. According to paragraph 2, the experiments mainly focus on people’s . A. Thinking method. B. Decision making. C. Financial condition. D. Potential ability. 33. Why does the author mention “standard economic model”? A. To explain the experiments further. B. To clarify a psychological concept. C. To provide evidence for the study. D. To express doubt on the experiments. 34. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Analyse. B. Improve. C. Measure. D. Lessen. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Phantom costs: Where “standard economic model” doesn’t work B. Phantom costs: Whether people’s likelihood of accepting an offer reduces C. Phantom costs: Why “too good to be true” scares people off D. Phantom costs: How imagined consequences prevent hidden motives 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The average American generates five pounds of trash per day, according to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. Some of it gets recycled but most of it ends up in landfills. 36 Do a trash examination. Check what you' re throwing away by writing a list of the trash you produce. 37 You might write “used wipes and paper towels” under “nursery” or “food waste and metal cans” under “cooking”. This will help you grasp the extent of the trash you create and find ways to cut it, Save what you can. See if there's anything you can save before throwing it in the trash. Maybe you can mend an old pair of jeans instead of buying a new pair. Or maybe you can cut up old T-shirts into rag. 38 If you have a bunch of overripe bananas, put it in the freezer to make banana bread later. Rely less on pre-packaged foods. Often, food comes in wasteful packaging. Usually, some drinks come in plastic containers that may not be easy to recycle. So source your food in ways that don't require you to get it from a package. 39 Instead of buying oat milk in a non-recyclable container, make it at home and store it in a jar, removing the packaging waste. 40 Once you start noticing how much trash you produce at home, you' ll start to cut down on trash elsewhere. Bring your own reusable fork to a restaurant that uses single-use plastic tools, Or ask the waiter in a coffee bar to fill up your coffee mug instead of a paper cup. A. Cut down on rubbish in your daily life. B. That means making some of your own food. C. Look for ways to cut waste outside the home. D. Organize your list by the rooms in your house or by activity. E. Besides, think about how you can creatively save your leftovers. F. By doing so you can make the rooms in your house clean and tidy. G. Fortunately, you can live a low-waste lifestyle by redesigning your behavior. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15个小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My story with my cat started many years ago, and now I have to prepare to bid farewell to her. It was 2003 and a childhood 41 was stationed at Fort Bragg, in North Carolina where she was in the 82nd Airborne Division(空降师). She was done jumping out of planes for the day, 42 the base, when she heard meowing coming from a warehouse. Inside, she 43 a stray(流浪的) cat, proud but dirty, and decided to take her home. Soon, the cat was 44 . One day, my friend e-mailed me a photograph of the little lovely kittens, arranged on her laps. She 45 , “Don’t you want to have them?” A few weeks later, the kittens were 46 onto the back seat of a Jeep and driven north. Two were dropped off at my parents ’ house, and one with me at my studio apartment. The family 47 was that these were military-grade cats, since their mom was from the base! Gradually, I became 48 to my cat. She always leaned on my forearm the moment I told her the 49 of us: I described the apartments we’d lived in, the friends we’d met, and the sunsets we witnessed together. Almost every morning, I 50 with her soft paws rubbing against my face. 51 , her bright eyes melted my heart and her shock-white belly in the room was the best 52 throughout my day. Twenty-one years later, mine is the 53 one standing. The cat is very sick, so I know a 54 is at hand. Comedy is tragedy plus time. That’s the rule. 55 , I think there’s a lesson here about “nurture.” 41.A. friend B. neighbor C. teacher D. classmate 42.A. setting up B. heading off C. arriving at D. breaking into 43.A. removed B. spotted C. identified D. adopted 44.A. restless B. injured C. pregnant D. troublesome 45.A. added B. insisted C. declared D. explained 46.A. stuffed B. thrown C. handed D. loaded 47.A. secret B. truth C. joke D. issue 48.A. exposed B. attached C. devoted D. limited 49.A. story B. lesson C. emotion D. theme 50.A. wept B. waited C. whispered D. woke 51.A.

The piece of news made Devon’s stomach feel worse, as he missed his sister so much. “What if I can’t understand him?” Devon asked. “He speaks English well,” Mom said. On Kapil’s first day, he exchanged some small talk with Devon before disappearing into his new room. Lil’s room, Devon reminded himself. As days went on, Kapil started spending more time in the rest of the house. He was in the kitchen a lot, whose cooking always filled the air with steam and spice that made Devon’s eyes water. “Smells wonderful!” Mom exclaimed. When Lil called a few days later, Devon told her about Kapil’s cooking. “Lucky! I love Indian food!” Lil said. “But it seems too spicy forme,” replied Devon. One day, Mom had to work late. “Kapil will stay with you until I get home,” she explained. Devon’s stomach twisted. Lil had always stayed with him when Mom had to work late. When Devon got home from school, Kapil greeted him at the door. “Would you like a snack?” Kapil asked. Devon shrugged. Lil and he used to cook together after school, which they called “making messes.” Kapil opened the refrigerator. “How about a yogurt?” “I had one at breakfast,” responded Devon in a cold voice. Kapil opened a cupboard and smiled. “Wait here.” He returned with a package. “I’ll cook an Indian snack,” he announced. Kapil pulled out around, thin cracker the size of a small Frisbee, poured oil into a pan and fried the cracker. Then the kitchen was filled with spicy smells. After a while, Kapil handed Devon a plate with the sizzling pancake on it. “Papadum(印度薄饼),” he said. “Made from bean flour.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para 1: Devon’s stomach twisted again.____________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: Looking at the empty plate, Devon said to Kapil, “Let’s make messes!”____________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ( 第 8 页 共 9 页 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 11.22周测答案 阅读理解 1.

Staring at the still-sizzling pancake, Devon summoned up all his courage to pick it up, took a deep breath and had a tiny bite. What stunned him was that Kapil’s thin pancake didn’t taste like cardboard. Instead, it exploded in his mouth like numerous little flavor bombs. Every taste bud on his tongue awakened, Devon wolfed it down, exclaiming, “ I love Indian food just as my sister does!” Looking at the empty plate, Devon said to Kapil, "Let's make messes!" “What?” Kapil asked in puzzlement, eyes wide open. Noticing confusion etched on Kapil’s face, Devon grinned from ear to ear, explaining briefly that his sister Lil and he used to cook together after school and how much he missed her. Vivid memories of cooking with Lil crowding in, Devon begged Kapil with watery eyes, “Can we make food together?” Moved and determined to act as a big brother, Kapil nodded, eyes sparkling with joy and anticipation. Smiling at each other, they charged into the kitchen, rummaged through the cupboard，searched for the ingredients and cooked Devon and Lil’s dishes and spicy Indian food together. Ice between Devon and Kapil melting, Devon embarked on a new journey of making messes with Kapil and a “spicy” friendship began to bloom. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
