B To see Garnett Puett’s latest sculpture at the Hammer Museum, you have to enter a dark room protected by a series of heavy curtains. Inside, glowing red light lights up a glass cage. Within the cage are three human figures with a large group of insects crawling over them. The bees move slowly over the faces of the figures. The colony of bees is so thick in places, it looks like fur (毛皮) growing on the statue — fur that moves. “Woah.” “I’ve never seen.” Visitors say as they enter the silent room. Puett has been making his “apisculptures”, using metal, beeswax (蜂蜡) and colonies of live bees, for four decades now. It’s art with a purpose: Puett wants to remind viewers of the power and creativity of bees, whose survival is under threat around the world. “It’s sort of subconscious advertising,” Puett said. “Bees are good.” In the 1980s, when Puett’s bee sculptures first became an art world hit, people just thought he was a guy playing with bees. Actually, his use of bees came from a deep family tradition. He grew up as a fourth-generation beekeeper, whose family had worked with bees since the 1700s. His great-grandfather raised queen bees, passing the business down to his son and grandson. Puett worked on those farms as a teenager, starting with the simplest tasks. His bee farm experience has resulted in precision in the art he makes with bee colonies. In the four decades since, the eco-artist withdrew somewhat from the art world. He moved to Hawaii, where he and his family have spent three decades running an organic honey farm. The work is challenging and labor intensive. That work has put him on the frontlines of dealing with threats to bee populations. Foreign species have killed numerous bees on his family’s farm, shrinking the number of surviving beehives (蜂巢) from 4,000 to about 2,000 in the past 15 years. “People used to call me up really mad saying words I can’t repeat if the hives were bothering them,” relates Puett with a laugh. “But since we lost half the bee population within two years, people are more aware of their importance and are far more understanding and appreciative. That’s been the one bright side to all this difficulty.” 24. What do visitors think of Puett’s bee sculpture? A. It is cruel. B. It is creative. C. It is educational. D. It is frightening. 25. Why did Puett make his “apisculptures”? A. To advocate for bees through art. B. To commercialize his bee products. C. To offer a shelter for threatened bees. D. To illustrate a new method of sculpture. 26. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. A background in bee art. B. The history of beekeeping. C. Bee-themed activities for kids. D. Four generations under one roof. 27. What was the impact of the bee population loss? A. Puett downsized his beekeeping. B. People became tolerant of Puett. C. Puett shifted his focus to his sculptures. D. Public perception of bees has been improved. C Go to any movie theater or sports venue, and it’s obvious there’s an invisible bond that forms from laughing, crying, and simply feeling while brushing shoulders with others. Researches have long backed up this sense of connection, but some aspects of the phenomenon remained unclear. Now, a new study is offering insight. Writing in the journal Royal Society Open Science, Victor Chung of the École Normale Supérieure in France and his team reported how they examined the matter by inviting strangers to watch videos together in same sex pairs. Pairs of strangers watched three types of videos together: positive, negative, and neutral (中性的) with a curtain between them that was either open or closed. At the start of the experiment the researchers asked each participant whether they’d like to meet the other member of their pair again. After watching each video, participants reported their emotions and feelings of connectedness, and after seeing all three videos they were asked once again about their feelings towards the other participant. The results showed the emotional films generated stronger responses than the neutral film. Crucially, the team said participants’ feelings of connectedness within the pairs was boosted when they experienced more intense emotions. However, this was only the case when participants watched the films with the curtain between them open. The researchers said that whether or not the pairs could see each other had no impact on how positively or negatively they felt about the films. “We found that silently watching emotional films together with another individual is associated with social bonding, even when this person is a stranger and without any verbal (口头的) communication,” said Chung, the study author. The team added that the findings may help explain why people seek out group activities that generate strong emotions, “even participating in sad memorials that cause negative emotions.” In other words, because emotion bonds us, and humans have a fundamental desire to belong, we’re up for experiences one might think we’d naturally want to avoid. 28. What does “the phenomenon” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Shared emotions bond people. B. Physical touch helps tackle stress. C. A chance encounter leads to a friendship. D. Entertainment is a crucial part of human life. 29. How did the researchers get their findings? A. By analyzing participants’ emotions. B. By comparing participants’ self-reports. C. By documenting participants’ video responses. D. By stimulating participants’ desire for interaction. 30. The study found that strong bonds were indeed created between pairs only when ______. A. they were familiar with each other B. they watched neutral films together C. they were aware of the presence of each other D. they could see each other while watching the films 31. What is presented in the last paragraph of the text? A. An interpretation of the findings. B. Potential implication of the findings. C. Supporting evidence for the findings. D. The underlying logic behind the findings. D Next time you’re walking through a park on a hot day, take a moment to sit under a big old tree. You’ll find that the temperature is something like 2℃ cooler than if you were beneath an umbrella. Why? Because a mature tree releases a massive amount of water from its leaves, which cools the surrounding air, just like the way sweating cools our bodies down. So a single tree influences the microclimate around it — but what about an entire forest? That’s the question explored in The Power of Trees by German forester Peter Wohlleben. He writes about trees, ecosystems, roots and the many creatures who live in and among them in a fresh, lively way. He believes forests and trees make decisions about their survival, protect and look after their young. For readers, some of this language is familiar, and some may know that this style has been a source of derision (嘲笑) in the past. However, it’s this down-to-earth, conversational style that makes the book come to life and makes complex science accessible. He explains processes, such as the way trees access and use sugars at different times of the year, in simple, everyday terms. Wohlleben writes in a calm style, but he can’t hide his anger with the way people today — including many environmentalists — now “think of trees as little more than biological storage units for carbon dioxide either while they are alive or when they are dead”. This narrow perspective ignores the vast beneficial effects that forests generate for global temperature management. His claims and criticisms are backed by emerging science and new research, as well as practical observations of how the presence of forests changes the landscape nearby. This book is wise and thought-provoking. In his chapter highlighting the role of wolves as top predators (捕食者) in preserving the forest, Wohlleben writes: “We can come at protecting forests from whatever direction we want, but the results are always the same. We must put less pressure on nature by exploiting (开发) it less. We must strengthen forests by allowing them to take care of themselves.” 32. What does The Power of Trees explore? A. Temperature management. B. The loss of water in leaves. C. Formation of microclimates. D. The vital role that forests play. 33. Which can describe the language in the book? A. Complex. B. Fancy. C. Approachable. D. Professional. 34. How does Wohlleben deal with people’s narrow perspective on forests? A. He treats it lightly. B. He turns a deaf ear to it. C. He refers to it selectively. D. He argues against it convincingly. 35. What does Wohlleben suggest for protecting forests? A. Fighting climate change. B. Leaving them alone. C. Returning farmland to forest. D. Driving wolves away. 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。 Meetings are a key way to get yourself noticed. When you “hold your own” in a meeting, you show that you’re confident, and this can mark you out as a future leader. ____36____ So no matter how many great ideas you have in your head, they’re useless to you, your team, and your organization until you express them. Here is the guide to getting your voice heard at meetings. Come prepared. Have some talking points planned out before you express your idea. Practice with a trusted colleague who can help you iron out any problems. Imagine the possible reactions people might have to your idea. ____37____ What are some questions that might come up in response to your idea? How will you answer those questions? Get to the point. Engage people in the main points of the idea, then dive into the details. When you start strong you’ll give them a reason to continue listening. ____38____ people are overwhelmed with numerous things to do at work. While the eight second attention span may be a myth, people certainly appreciate brevity (简短) now more than ever. ____39____ People lose interest when they’re listening to a long talk. Invite them to be a part of your idea. Organize your argument in a way that makes them want to ask questions and learn more. When you give them time to ask questions, they’ll be more interested, attentive, and engaged. The more you can engage them, the more they’ll truly listen. Have confidence in yourself. The more you believe in yourself, the more that shows through when you express an idea. People can hear the confidence in your voice when you speak and see it in your body language. If you allow yourself to think that you’re nervous, you’ll convince yourself to be. Fight nerves by taking a few moments to stand in a power pose. ____40____ A. Time is precious. B. Make it a conversation. C. Speak with elegance and intention. D. Unluckily, your colleagues can’t read minds. E. It gives you time to quiet your mind and focus. F.

Over the years I’ve noticed how well my parents manage to look after their health and how healthy they are. I had never bothered to follow their example or been that curious about the secret of their good health. I never realized what a great resource they could be. I would look at them both, so slim, strong and healthy — much more so than me — and think, how will I ever get to be like them? I’m constantly impressed by their toughness. They have never taken any sick days from work, unless they really need to. They don’t need to visit the doctor much. Their habits are deep-rooted and it works for them. Part of their success is how efficiently they control what they eat. Their diet is extremely healthy and they stick to it. For breakfast, it’s porridge; lunch is salad or a wholemeal sandwich with butter, garlic, raw onion and black pepper. Dinner is boiled vegetables, or beans. Both of them grew up eating fresh, unprocessed food. My dad is a bus driver, and my mum works part-time as a sales assistant. My dad started skipping at the age of six. He’s now a mini celebrity and admired by people worldwide with thousands of followers on social media. And my mum has won fitness competitions at the gym. In this respect, I was the complete opposite. I hated fitness and was lazy and unfit. Last week I had a health scare; I found a lump (肿块) on my neck. After an examination, it turned out to be fatty tissue, which isn’t harmful but unless I lose weight, or I have surgery, it could get worse. My parents said to me: don’t get surgery, let us train you and you’ll feel much better. I wanted to take the easy option and have it removed. But I also thought, maybe this was an eye-opener and a wake-up call for me to start getting fit. 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。 We worked out an exercise plan that suited all three of us. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now I can feel the benefits. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025届高三第三次调研测试 英语 注意事项 考生在答题前请认真阅读本注意事项及各题答题要求 1．答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，请用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does the man need help with?

During a charity event. C. Because of a plane crash. 19. Why did the speaker decide to skydive? A. To help some patients. B. To have fun with friends. C. To overcome a fear of heights. 20.

B 【解析】 【原文】M: If you’d told me a year ago that I’d be jumping out of a plane, I’d have laughed. I hated heights. It’s not the kind of thing I enjoy doing with friends! But something changed after my grandad passed away from Alzheimer’s. I wanted to do something meaningful that could help others affected by the same disease. So, I signed up for a charity skydive. I’d never even done a bake sale before! We watched a safety video and we jumped from 4,000 meters. The free fall lasted for one minute, and we dropped at 200 kilometers per hour. I worked out that meant I fell roughly 3,300 meters before the parachute (降落伞) opened. It was peaceful. You’d expect panic, but instead I felt calm. Everything looked so small, and yet I felt part of something huge. The great part? We raised £8,452 — the highest amount anyone in our area has ever raised for Alzheimer’s. But even better than the total was hearing people talk about their experience with this illness. So many had been through the same as my grandad. I still don’t love heights, so I’ve not overcome that fear. But I’ve learned that sometimes, doing something scary opens doors — and hearts. 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 Anderson Lodge About Anderson Lodge is a family-run facility owned by Arvid and Vicki Anderson.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。本文围绕 Anderson Lodge 这一度假中心展开，详细介绍了其基本信息、设施、价格、入住和退房规定等内容。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Groups enjoy the quality accommodations well suited for groups ranging from 20 — 80 overnight guests and more! (团体可以享受适合团体的优质住宿，能够容纳20到80名过夜客人，甚至更多！)”可知，Anderson Lodge度假中心适合团体聚会。故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Pricing部分的“Base price per night: $825 (每晚基本价格：$825)”、“Guests covered in base price: 15 (基础价格包括客人人数：15人)”以及“Price for additional guests above base: Up to 50: $10 per person After 50: $8 per person (基数以上额外客人价格：50人以下为每人10美；50人以上为每人8美元)”可知，25人团体，基础价格涵盖15人，超出的人数为25 - 15 = 10人；超出的人数且在50人及以内，所以这10人每人每晚10美元；一晚的费用为基础价格825美元加上超出10人的费用（10 × 10 = 100美元），即两晚的费用为（825 + 100）×2 = 1850美元。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一句“Lower the volume of music and attendees by 12:00 pm. (要求在中午12点降低音乐音量和参与者音量。)”可知，客人需要减少午夜后的噪音。故选C。 B To see Garnett Puett’s latest sculpture at the Hammer Museum, you have to enter a dark room protected by a series of heavy curtains. Inside, glowing red light lights up a glass cage. Within the cage are three human figures with a large group of insects crawling over them. The bees move slowly over the faces of the figures. The colony of bees is so thick in places, it looks like fur (毛皮) growing on the statue — fur that moves. “Woah.” “I’ve never seen.” Visitors say as they enter the silent room. Puett has been making his “apisculptures”, using metal, beeswax (蜂蜡) and colonies of live bees, for four decades now. It’s art with a purpose: Puett wants to remind viewers of the power and creativity of bees, whose survival is under threat around the world. “It’s sort of subconscious advertising,” Puett said. “Bees are good.” In the 1980s, when Puett’s bee sculptures first became an art world hit, people just thought he was a guy playing with bees. Actually, his use of bees came from a deep family tradition. He grew up as a fourth-generation beekeeper, whose family had worked with bees since the 1700s. His great-grandfather raised queen bees, passing the business down to his son and grandson. Puett worked on those farms as a teenager, starting with the simplest tasks. His bee farm experience has resulted in precision in the art he makes with bee colonies. In the four decades since, the eco-artist withdrew somewhat from the art world. He moved to Hawaii, where he and his family have spent three decades running an organic honey farm. The work is challenging and labor intensive. That work has put him on the frontlines of dealing with threats to bee populations. Foreign species have killed numerous bees on his family’s farm, shrinking the number of surviving beehives (蜂巢) from 4,000 to about 2,000 in the past 15 years. “People used to call me up really mad saying words I can’t repeat if the hives were bothering them,” relates Puett with a laugh. “But since we lost half the bee population within two years, people are more aware of their importance and are far more understanding and appreciative. That’s been the one bright side to all this difficulty.” 24. What do visitors think of Puett’s bee sculpture? A. It is cruel. B. It is creative. C. It is educational. D. It is frightening. 25. Why did Puett make his “apisculptures”? A. To advocate for bees through art. B. To commercialize his bee products. C. To offer a shelter for threatened bees. D. To illustrate a new method of sculpture. 26. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. A background in bee art. B. The history of beekeeping. C. Bee-themed activities for kids. D. Four generations under one roof. 27. What was the impact of the bee population loss? A. Puett downsized his beekeeping. B. People became tolerant of Puett. C. Puett shifted his focus to his sculptures. D. Public perception of bees has been improved. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了艺术家Garnett Puett通过雕塑来支持蜜蜂，呼吁人们保护蜜蜂。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““Woah.” “I’ve never seen.” Visitors say as they enter the silent room.(“哇。”“我从来没见过。”参观者走进寂静的房间时说道。)”可知，游客们认为Puett的蜜蜂雕塑很有创意。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“It’s art with a purpose: Puett wants to remind viewers of the power and creativity of bees, whose survival is under threat around the world.(这是一种有目的的艺术：Puett想提醒观众蜜蜂的力量和创造力，它们的生存在世界各地受到威胁)”可知，Puett创作他的雕塑是为了通过艺术来支持蜜蜂。故选A。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“In the 1980s, when Puett’s bee sculptures first became an art world hit, people just thought he was a guy playing with bees. Actually, his use of bees came from a deep family tradition. He grew up as a fourth-generation beekeeper, whose family had worked with bees since the 1700s. His great-grandfather raised queen bees, passing the business down to his son and grandson. Puett worked on those farms as a teenager, starting with the simplest tasks. His bee farm experience has resulted in precision in the art he makes with bee colonies.(在20世纪80年代，当Puett的蜜蜂雕塑首次成为艺术界的热门作品时，人们只是认为他是一个玩弄蜜蜂的人。实际上，他对蜜蜂的使用源于一个很深的家庭传统。他是第四代养蜂人，他的家人从18世纪开始就和蜜蜂一起工作。他的曾祖父养了蜂王，把生意传给了他的儿子和孙子。Puett十几岁时就在这些农场工作，从最简单的工作开始。他的养蜂场经验导致了他的艺术精确与蜂群)”可知，第4段主要讲了蜜蜂艺术的背景。故选A。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“But since we lost half the bee population within two years, people are more aware of their importance and are far more understanding and appreciative.(但由于我们在两年内失去了一半的蜜蜂种群，人们更加意识到它们的重要性，并且更加理解和感激)”可知，蜜蜂数量减少的影响是公众对蜜蜂的认知有所改善。故选D。 C Go to any movie theater or sports venue, and it’s obvious there’s an invisible bond that forms from laughing, crying, and simply feeling while brushing shoulders with others. Researches have long backed up this sense of connection, but some aspects of the phenomenon remained unclear. Now, a new study is offering insight. Writing in the journal Royal Society Open Science, Victor Chung of the École Normale Supérieure in France and his team reported how they examined the matter by inviting strangers to watch videos together in same sex pairs. Pairs of strangers watched three types of videos together: positive, negative, and neutral (中性的) with a curtain between them that was either open or closed. At the start of the experiment the researchers asked each participant whether they’d like to meet the other member of their pair again. After watching each video, participants reported their emotions and feelings of connectedness, and after seeing all three videos they were asked once again about their feelings towards the other participant. The results showed the emotional films generated stronger responses than the neutral film. Crucially, the team said participants’ feelings of connectedness within the pairs was boosted when they experienced more intense emotions. However, this was only the case when participants watched the films with the curtain between them open. The researchers said that whether or not the pairs could see each other had no impact on how positively or negatively they felt about the films. “We found that silently watching emotional films together with another individual is associated with social bonding, even when this person is a stranger and without any verbal (口头的) communication,” said Chung, the study author. The team added that the findings may help explain why people seek out group activities that generate strong emotions, “even participating in sad memorials that cause negative emotions.” In other words, because emotion bonds us, and humans have a fundamental desire to belong, we’re up for experiences one might think we’d naturally want to avoid. 28. What does “the phenomenon” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Shared emotions bond people. B. Physical touch helps tackle stress. C. A chance encounter leads to a friendship. D. Entertainment is a crucial part of human life. 29. How did the researchers get their findings? A. By analyzing participants’ emotions. B. By comparing participants’ self-reports. C. By documenting participants’ video responses. D. By stimulating participants’ desire for interaction. 30. The study found that strong bonds were indeed created between pairs only when ______. A. they were familiar with each other B. they watched neutral films together C. they were aware of the presence of each other D. they could see each other while watching the films 31. What is presented in the last paragraph of the text? A. An interpretation of the findings. B. Potential implication of the findings. C. Supporting evidence for the findings. D. The underlying logic behind the findings. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了共同观看情感视频如何促进陌生人之间的社会联系。研究通过实验发现，当陌生人一起观看情感视频并能够看到彼此时，他们的联系感会增强。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段中“Go to any movie theater or sports venue, and it’s obvious there’s an invisible bond that forms from laughing, crying, and simply feeling while brushing shoulders with others.(去任何电影院或体育场馆，很明显，通过与他人一起笑、哭和感受，会形成一种无形的联系。)”可推知“the phenomenon”指的是上文提到的“共享情感会联系人们”。故选A。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“After watching each video, participants reported their emotions and feelings of connectedness, and after seeing all three videos they were asked once again about their feelings towards the other participant.(观看每个视频后，参与者报告了他们的情绪和联系感，看完所有三个视频后，他们再次被问及对另一位参与者的感受。)”可推知，研究人员通过比较参与者的自我报告得出研究结果。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“Crucially, the team said participants’ feelings of connectedness within the pairs was boosted when they experienced more intense emotions. However, this was only the case when participants watched the films with the curtain between them open.(关键的是，研究团队表示，当参与者经历更强烈的情感时，他们之间的联系感会增强。然而，这种情况仅发生在参与者拉开窗帘观看电影时。)”可知，他们在看电影时可以互相看到对方。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段中“The team added that the findings may help explain why people seek out group activities that generate strong emotions, ‘even participating in sad memorials that cause negative emotions.’(研究团队补充说，这些发现可能有助于解释为什么人们会寻求产生强烈情感的群体活动，“甚至参加引发负面情绪的悲伤纪念活动”。)”可知，最后一段提出了研究结果的潜在意义。故选B。 D Next time you’re walking through a park on a hot day, take a moment to sit under a big old tree. You’ll find that the temperature is something like 2℃ cooler than if you were beneath an umbrella. Why? Because a mature tree releases a massive amount of water from its leaves, which cools the surrounding air, just like the way sweating cools our bodies down. So a single tree influences the microclimate around it — but what about an entire forest? That’s the question explored in The Power of Trees by German forester Peter Wohlleben. He writes about trees, ecosystems, roots and the many creatures who live in and among them in a fresh, lively way. He believes forests and trees make decisions about their survival, protect and look after their young. For readers, some of this language is familiar, and some may know that this style has been a source of derision (嘲笑) in the past. However, it’s this down-to-earth, conversational style that makes the book come to life and makes complex science accessible. He explains processes, such as the way trees access and use sugars at different times of the year, in simple, everyday terms. Wohlleben writes in a calm style, but he can’t hide his anger with the way people today — including many environmentalists — now “think of trees as little more than biological storage units for carbon dioxide either while they are alive or when they are dead”. This narrow perspective ignores the vast beneficial effects that forests generate for global temperature management. His claims and criticisms are backed by emerging science and new research, as well as practical observations of how the presence of forests changes the landscape nearby. This book is wise and thought-provoking. In his chapter highlighting the role of wolves as top predators (捕食者) in preserving the forest, Wohlleben writes: “We can come at protecting forests from whatever direction we want, but the results are always the same. We must put less pressure on nature by exploiting (开发) it less. We must strengthen forests by allowing them to take care of themselves.” 32. What does The Power of Trees explore? A. Temperature management. B. The loss of water in leaves. C. Formation of microclimates. D. The vital role that forests play. 33. Which can describe the language in the book? A. Complex. B. Fancy. C. Approachable. D. Professional. 34. How does Wohlleben deal with people’s narrow perspective on forests? A. He treats it lightly. B. He turns a deaf ear to it. C. He refers to it selectively. D. He argues against it convincingly. 35. What does Wohlleben suggest for protecting forests? A. Fighting climate change. B. Leaving them alone. C. Returning farmland to forest. D. Driving wolves away. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇书评，主要介绍了德国护林员Peter Wohlleben的著作《树木的力量》。书中探讨了森林对微气候的影响、树木的生存智慧以及人类对森林的狭隘认知，并以通俗易懂的语言阐释了复杂的科学原理。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“That’s the question explored in The Power of Trees. He writes about trees, ecosystems, roots and the many creatures who live in and among them in a fresh, lively way. He believes forests and trees make decisions about their survival(《树木的力量》探讨了这一问题。他以新颖生动的笔触描写树木、生态系统、根系以及栖息其间的无数生物。他认为森林和树木会为自己的生存做决定)”可知，该书聚焦森林的核心作用。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“it’s this down-to-earth, conversational style that makes the book come to life(正是这种接地气的对话式风格让书生动起来)”和“in simple, everyday terms(用简单的日常用语)”可知语言风格平易近人。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“His claims and criticisms are backed by emerging science and new research, as well as practical observations of how the presence of forests changes the landscape nearby.(他的主张和批评得到了新兴科学研究和实地观察的支撑——这些研究证明了森林如何改变周边地貌。)”可推知，作者用科学论据有力反驳了狭隘观点。故选D。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“We must strengthen forests by allowing them to take care of themselves(我们必须通过让森林自我管理来加强它们)”可知，作者主张减少人为干预。故选B。 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。 Meetings are a key way to get yourself noticed. When you “hold your own” in a meeting, you show that you’re confident, and this can mark you out as a future leader. ____36____ So no matter how many great ideas you have in your head, they’re useless to you, your team, and your organization until you express them. Here is the guide to getting your voice heard at meetings. Come prepared. Have some talking points planned out before you express your idea. Practice with a trusted colleague who can help you iron out any problems. Imagine the possible reactions people might have to your idea. ____37____ What are some questions that might come up in response to your idea? How will you answer those questions? Get to the point. Engage people in the main points of the idea, then dive into the details. When you start strong you’ll give them a reason to continue listening. ____38____ people are overwhelmed with numerous things to do at work. While the eight second attention span may be a myth, people certainly appreciate brevity (简短) now more than ever. ____39____ People lose interest when they’re listening to a long talk. Invite them to be a part of your idea. Organize your argument in a way that makes them want to ask questions and learn more. When you give them time to ask questions, they’ll be more interested, attentive, and engaged. The more you can engage them, the more they’ll truly listen. Have confidence in yourself. The more you believe in yourself, the more that shows through when you express an idea. People can hear the confidence in your voice when you speak and see it in your body language. If you allow yourself to think that you’re nervous, you’ll convince yourself to be. Fight nerves by taking a few moments to stand in a power pose. ____40____ A. Time is precious. B. Make it a conversation. C. Speak with elegance and intention. D. Unluckily, your colleagues can’t read minds. E. It gives you time to quiet your mind and focus. F.

E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了如何在会议中有效表达自己的观点，从而获得他人的注意和认可。文章提供了五个具体的建议，包括充分准备、简洁明了、控制时间、互动交流以及保持自信。 【36题详解】 前文“Meetings are a key way to get yourself noticed. When you “hold your own” in a meeting, you show that you’re confident, and this can mark you out as a future leader.(会议是让自己引人注目的关键途径。当你在会议上“保持自信”时，你展现出了自信，这能让你成为未来的领导者。)”提到会议是展示自己的重要场合，后文“So no matter how many great ideas you have in your head, they’re useless to you, your team, and your organization until you express them.(因此，无论你脑子里有多少伟大的想法，除非你表达出来，否则它们对你、你的团队和你的组织来说都是无用的。)”强调如果不表达出来，想法就毫无价值。由此可知，前后是转折关系，空处应指出他人无法直接了解你的想法。D项“Unluckily, your colleagues can’t read minds.(不幸的是，你的同事无法读懂你的想法)”符合，引起下文，故选D。 【37题详解】 前文“Imagine the possible reactions people might have to your idea.(想象一下人们对你的想法可能会有的反应)”建议预想他人对你想法的反应，后文“What are some questions that might come up in response to your idea? How will you answer those questions?(针对你的想法，可能会提出哪些问题？你将如何回答这些问题？)”进一步说明要从不同的角度思考可能的问题。由此可知，空处应强调从多角度思考问题。F项“Look at it from as many other perspectives as possible.(尽可能从其他角度看待它)”符合，故选F。 【38题详解】 前文“Get to the point. Engage people in with the main points of the idea, then dive into the details. When you start strong you’ll give them a reason to continue listening.(直奔主题用核心观点吸引听众，再深入细节。强有力的开场能让他们有理由继续倾听。)”强调要简洁明了地表达观点，后文“People are overwhelmed with numerous things to do at work. While the eight second attention span may be a myth, people certainly appreciate brevity (简短) now more than ever.(工作中人们常被琐事淹没。虽然“8秒注意力”可能是谣言，但如今人们比以往更看重简洁。)”说明现代人时间有限，更看重简短表达。由此可知，空处应点明时间的重要性。A项“Time is precious.(时间很宝贵)”符合，故选A。 【39题详解】 后文“People lose interest when they’re listening to a long talk. Invite them to be a part of your idea. Organize your argument in a way that makes them want to ask questions and learn more.(冗长的发言会让人失去兴趣。邀请他人参与你的想法，用激发提问的方式组织论述。)”指出长篇大论会让人失去兴趣，建议通过互动提升参与感。由此可知，空处应提出将表达转化为对话。B项“Make it a conversation.(让它成为一场对话)”符合，故选B。 【40题详解】 前文“Fight nerves by taking a few moments to stand in a power pose.(用力量姿势站立片刻来对抗紧张。)”提到用“能量姿势”缓解紧张，空处应需补充这一行为的作用。E项“It gives you time to quiet your mind and focus.(它能让你有时间平静思绪并集中注意力)”说明其效果，符合语境，故选E。 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。 Growing up, I would constantly ask my parents what new words meant in English when I was reading novels in primary school.

It was just my parents and me. Over the years I’ve noticed how well my parents manage to look after their health and how healthy they are. I had never bothered to follow their example or been that curious about the secret of their good health. I never realized what a great resource they could be. I would look at them both, so slim, strong and healthy — much more so than me — and think, how will I ever get to be like them? I’m constantly impressed by their toughness. They have never taken any sick days from work, unless they really need to. They don’t need to visit the doctor much. Their habits are deep-rooted and it works for them. Part of their success is how efficiently they control what they eat. Their diet is extremely healthy and they stick to it. For breakfast, it’s porridge; lunch is salad or a wholemeal sandwich with butter, garlic, raw onion and black pepper. Dinner is boiled vegetables, or beans. Both of them grew up eating fresh, unprocessed food. My dad is a bus driver, and my mum works part-time as a sales assistant. My dad started skipping at the age of six. He’s now a mini celebrity and admired by people worldwide with thousands of followers on social media. And my mum has won fitness competitions at the gym. In this respect, I was the complete opposite. I hated fitness and was lazy and unfit. Last week I had a health scare; I found a lump (肿块) on my neck. After an examination, it turned out to be fatty tissue, which isn’t harmful but unless I lose weight, or I have surgery, it could get worse. My parents said to me: don’t get surgery, let us train you and you’ll feel much better. I wanted to take the easy option and have it removed. But I also thought, maybe this was an eye-opener and a wake-up call for me to start getting fit. 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。 We worked out an exercise plan that suited all three of us. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now I can feel the benefits. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】We worked out an exercise plan that suited all three of us. We rose early in the morning, did some sit-ups and breathing exercises and then went for a run. We chose unprocessed food over fried chips and drank more water. Initial days were tough for me—my legs aching, and sweat streaming down, paired with unappealing meals. However, Dad’s firm “Keep going” drove me on, while Mom would wipe the sweat from my forehead. Gradually, the painful drills have transformed into a sustainable habit. Now I can feel the benefits. And breathing during working out has became easier and jeans has been loosening around my waist. Dad is content with my steadier pace, murmuring, “You’ve been a very different man!” I feel more positive. It is these lifestyle changes that have made a real difference. My parents’ fitness levels are still far higher than mine, but it’s a motivation to keep me going. Finally, the stubborn lump on my neck disappeared, which is an award for my efforts. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个长期忽视健康的年轻人，在经历健康警讯后，决定跟随父母健康生活方式的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我们制定了一个适合我们三人的锻炼计划。”可知，第一段可描写制定具体锻炼计划及初期实施过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“现在我可以感受到好处了。”可知，第二段可描写身体变化和心理感悟。 2.续写线索：制定计划——晨跑训练——饮食调整——身体变化——心理感悟——家庭纽带 3.词汇激活 行为类： ①起床：rise/get up ②擦：wipe/rub ③小声说：murmur/whisper 情绪类： ①困难的：tough/hard ②积极的：positive/active 【点睛】[高分句型1] Dad is content with my steadier pace, murmuring, “You’ve been a very different man!” （现在分词作状语） [高分句型2]It is these lifestyle changes that have made a real difference（运用了强调句） [高分句型3]Finally, the stubborn lump on my neck disappeared, which is an award for my efforts.（which引导的非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $南通市2025届高三第三次调研测试英语听力考试现在开始。第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。I arranged for wifi to be installed at my home on thursday.
