The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins If you used Tiktok in 2024, your feed was likely full of praise for a new mindset tool called “The Let Them Theory”. Coined by motivational speaker Mel Robbins, the idea is to unburden yourself from trying to control what you can’t, and focus on what you can. In her book, Mel explores how this viral tool came to life and shows how to apply it to eight key areas of life, with insights from leading experts. The Full Moon Coffee Shop by Mai Mocking If you love cosy, fantasy books, this Japanese fiction is a treat. The Full Moon is not your typical coffee shop, but a magical one run by talking cats that only appear on full moon nights, when someone needs them the most. Inviting three customers who are at a crossroads in their life, what wordy wisdom will the furry felines (猫科动物) have to offer them? Nine Minds: Inner Lives on the Spectrum by Daniel Ammeter From a surgeon to a bestselling novelist, Nine Minds digs into the extraordinary lives of nine men and women from around the world who have one thing in common: they are all neurosurgery (神经差异者). In sharing their experiences and how they view the world, it overturns stereotypes and celebrates the beauty in what sets them apart. Dogs and Their Humans: Stories of Healing by Noel Fitzpatrick The love we have for our pets is incomprehensible, and Noel Fitzpatrick knows this only too well as a veterinary surgeon of 30 years. Sharing stories of healing and hope from his practice, including entertaining ones which will make you laugh out loud, the book is strong evidence of how profound this connection is. 21.

B James Harrison, Australia’s most frequent blood and plasma (血浆) donor known as the “Man with the Golden Arm,” died at 88 on February 17, 2023. Over 60 years, he donated blood and plasma 1,173 times-every two weeks from 1954 to 2018-saving an estimated 2.4 million babies from a serious blood disorder called hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN). This condition occurs when a mother’s blood type conflicts with her baby’s, causing the mother’s immune system to attack the unborn child. Harrison’s plasma contained a rare substance called anti-D antibody, discovered in the 1960s, which became essential in preventing HDFN. Harrison’s dedication began with a life-changing event: At 14, he needed surgery to remove a lung and received nearly two gallons of donated blood. This inspired him to give back, even though he feared needles. “I wanted to help others like those who saved me,” he said. Starting at 18, he became Australia’s first regular anti-D donor, switching to plasma donations after doctors found his rare antibody. His donations created over 3 million anti-D treatments since 1967, helping about 45,000 mothers and babies yearly through a small group of fewer than 200 donors. Though awarded Australia’s Medal of the Order in 1999, Harrison stayed humble. “I’m just a donor sitting in a room with snacks,” he told NPR in 2015. His family continued his legacy: His daughter Tracey, who needed anti-D during pregnancy, and grandson Scott, who donated alongside him during his 1,000th session, followed his example. Harrison kept donating even after his wife Barbara’s death, stopping only when Australia’s rules required donors to retire at 81. At his final donation in 2018, surrounded by mothers holding babies he saved, Harrison said, “I’d keep donating if they allowed me.” His legacy lives on through the “James in a Jar” project by the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, which aims to create his antibody artificially to prevent HDFN worldwide. Lifeblood CEO Stephen Cornelissen praised Harrison’s “kindness, humility, and lifelong mission to save lives.” His story shows how one person’s generosity can inspire global change, proving that ordinary actions can achieve extraordinary things. 24. Which of the following best describes James Harrison’s character? A. A public figure seeking recognition for his sacrifices. B. A cautious traditionalist resistant to scientific advancements. C. A humble hero driven by selflessness and quiet perseverance. D. A determined innovator who pioneered medical breakthroughs. 25. Why does the author specifically mention Tracey’s experience? A. To prove the scientific accuracy of anti-D treatments. B. To explain the biological origins of HDFN in families. C. To criticize the limited availability of anti-D in Australia. D To emphasize the personal impact of Harrison’s donations. 26. What’s the main purpose of the “James in a Jar” project? A. To develop new blood donation technologies in Australia. B. To overcome the limited natural supply of Harrison’s antibody. C. To reduce the global treatment costs of HDFN. D. To study the genetic causes of HDFN in families. 27. What is the text mainly about? A. The history of blood donation technology in Australia. B. A man whose lifelong donations saved millions of babies . C. The challenges of treating hemolytic disease in newborns. D. The importance of family support in medical research. C Norwegian scientist Bodil Holst became fascinated by polar bear fur after a TV show revealed its unique infrared (红外线的) invisibility, which stems from the fur’s ability to match the temperature of icy surroundings. Unlike human hair that freezes when wet, polar bear fur remains ice-free even after repeated dips into freezing water-a mystery that drove Holst to investigate its hidden mechanisms. Initially believing the secret lay in the fur’s physical structure, Holst’s team used advanced microscopes but found nothing unusual. The breakthrough came when they noticed the fur’s greasy (油脂的) texture, leading them to test its grease. Washing the fur removed its anti-icing power, proving the grease was key. Detailed lab analyses revealed two critical factors: the grease contains special chemicals that resist ice, while lacking squalene (鲨烯), a substance common in other marine animals that promotes ice formation. This dual mechanism, combining ice-resistant compounds and the absence of ice-binding substances, allows polar bear fur to perform as effectively as banned chemical ski waxes. To confirm the uniqueness of this trait, a student grew his hair greasy for weeks and tested it. Despite being unwashed, human hair failed to resist ice, highlighting the evolutionary specialization of polar bears. Published in Science Advances, the study offers hope for eco-friendly anti-icing solutions in aviation and sports equipment. While Holst credits Arctic communities for knowing this fur property for centuries, her team is the first to explain its scientific basis. “Nature’s designs,” she notes, “often outmatch human inventions, guiding us toward sustainable alternatives.” By decoding how polar bears avoid icy coatings, this research bridges traditional knowledge and modern science, proving that observing nature can solve complex human challenges. 28. Why did Holst’s team shift their focus from the fur’s physical structure to its grease? A. They observed the fur’s greasy texture after failed structural tests. B. A TV program suggested grease might explain infrared invisibility. C. Microscopic analysis proved the fur’s structure was fairly ordinary. D. They wanted to test if human hair grease could simulate polar bear fur. 29. What did the students’ greasy hair experiment primarily demonstrate? A. Human hair grease is chemically like polar bear fur. B. Structure matters more than grease in resisting ice. C. Polar bear grease has unique anti-icing properties. D. Squalene is vital for ice resistance in mammals. 30. What does the study suggest about Arctic knowledge and Holst’s research? A. Traditional knowledge directly proved the scientific findings. B. Science confirmed a long-held belief through modern analysis. C. Scientific proof revealed a misbelief about the fur’s properties. D. Researchers relied more on lab tests than native insight. 31. What general conclusion can be drawn from the research? A. Technology often replaces natural adaptations. B. Evolution favors short-term survival traits. C. Nature can inspire human-made solutions. D. Sustainability needs less use of chemicals. D A headless, four-legged robot will be employed to protect wildlife at a US airport. About the size of a large dog, it will be camouflaged as a wolf or fox to scare away migratory birds and other animals. The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities has named the new robot Aurora and said it will be based at the Fairbanks Airport — the state’s second largest — to enhance safety and operations. The transportation department released a video of the robot climbing rocks, going up stairs and doing something similar to dancing while flashing green lights. Those dancing skills will be put to use during the migratory bird season when Aurora imitates predator-like movements to keep birds and other wildlife from settling near runways. The plan is to have Aurora watch over an outdoor area near the runway every hour in an attempt to prevent harmful encounters between planes and wildlife, said Ryan Marlow, a program manager with the transportation department. The test period in Fairbanks will also see how effective Aurora would be with larger animals and how bears would respond to the robot, Marlow added. Fairbanks “is leading the country with wildlife reduction at the airport through the use of Aurora. Several airports across the country have employed robots for various tasks such as cleaning, security patrols and customer service,” agency spokesperson Danielle Tessen said. Last year, there were 92 animal strikes near airports across Alaska, including 10 in Fairbanks, according to a Federal Aviation Administration database. Most strikes resulted in no damage to the aircraft, but Marlow said the encounters can be expensive and dangerous in the rare instance when a bird is sucked into an engine, potentially causing a crash. If the test proves successful, Marlow said the agency could send similar robots to smaller airports in Alaska, which could be more cost-effective than hiring human teams. Aurora, which can be controlled from a table, computer or on an automated schedule, will always have a human handler with it. It can move through rain or snow. 32. What does the underlined word “camouflaged” in the text most likely mean? A. disguised. B. anticipated. C. upgraded. D. equipped. 33. What is the primary purpose of the robot Aurora at Fairbanks Airport? A. To clean runways and airport facilities. B. To assist passengers with customer service. C. To reduce wildlife risks near aircraft operations. D. To safeguard the airport for security threats. 34. How to guarantee the Aurora will work well with larger animals like bears? A. Evaluating operating robots in harsh weather. B. Having it tested for a period of time. C. Referring back to its flying record. D. Forcing it to do different jobs. 35. Which is the suitable title for the passage? A. Robots Revolutionize Airport Cleaning and Security B. Alaska Tests Animal-stopping Robot to Improve Airport Safety C. The Dangers of Bird Strikes in Aviation History D. How Fairbanks Airport Reduced Wildlife Populations 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。 Anxiety is often seen as a negative emotion, but some psychologists now think a certain amount of anxiety can be useful. ____36____ For example, mild anxiety sharpens focus and motivates problem-solving. A study even found that slightly anxious people generate more creative solutions than calm individuals. A concept called the Yerkes-Dodson curve explains it. It shows that when people have very high levels of anxiety, they don’t tend to perform well. ____37____ But at very low levels of anxiety, performance also suffers: They might be so relaxed that they rush through the project to watch Netflix. “____38____ Here, anxiety is really adaptive, or helpful,” says Shannon, a clinical psychology professor. “At that middle-ground point, anxiety tells you, ‘This is important, I should pay attention to it, I should prepare for it.’” Some people try to suppress (压制) anxiety, but this often backfires (事与愿违). ____39____ For instance, avoiding nervous feelings during a presentation may cause mental blocks. Instead, acknowledging anxiety as a signal to prepare can transform it into a tool. Anxiety can help narrow attention and heighten focus and detail orientation. ____40____ In some studies, people who felt anxious came up with more and better solutions to problems than those who felt calm. In a word, you shouldn’t want to live completely free of anxiety, because you need anxiety to get things done. A. Its benefits depend on intensity. B. Trying to ignore it may worsen the situation. C. This approach only increases the discomfort. D. There’s actually the sweet spot in the middle. E. Extreme anxiety can cause physical symptoms. F. It facilitates creativity and motivates us to solve problems. G. They might be so worried about a big work project that they avoid getting started. 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。 When Nancy Beiman was 65, she retired from her job as a professor of animation and had no ____41____ how she would ____42____ her days.

Nancy wasn’t planning to ____47____ with her idea until she showed her drawings to her friend, Lynn Johnston, a cartoonist. Lynn ____48____ her and taught her how to write scripts for the comics. Despite her long ____49____ in animation, transitioning to comics wasn’t ____50____ for Nancy. In animation, she focused on showing action without words, but comics required her to combine visuals with ____51____. With her friend’s help, Nancy wrote 24 mini-scripts and ____52____ them to a social platform. In April 2023, she was ____53____ to be accepted on her first try. Nancy ____54____ FurBabies daily online, which is a big ____55____, but she enjoys the immediate feedback from readers of all ages. It’s like having a film on display every day, bringing smiles to people’s faces. Nancy believes that comics offer some protection from the prejudice against older people in animation studios. 41.

Its complicated vines and old-fashioned clasp (搭扣) didn’t match her minimalist style of dressing. Mom had given it to her that morning with teary eyes. “It’s from your great-grandmother’s jewelry box.” Mom said tenderly, but Lila only rolled her eyes — she only saw a relic. “It’s so… Victorian (维多利亚时代的),” Lila muttered, glaring at the clunky charm shaped like an oak leaf. During lunch break, her friends burst out laughing, “Is that a museum piece?” Humiliated, her face turned red quickly. Furiously, she took off her bracelet and threw it into the fountain near the school gate with a splash. At night, Lila awoke to a rhythmic click-clack from the living room. Looking secretly through her bedroom door crack, she saw Mom bending over the kitchen table, magnifying glass in hand. A nearly identical broken bracelet lay amid scattered tools — a screwdriver (螺丝刀), tiny screws, , and a roll of red thread (线). Dad’s whisper floated from the doorway, “You’ve been repairing this one for all night… Why not tell Lila the stories behind the two bracelets? They are so precious to you.” Actually, the two bracelets were the last gift that Grandma left to Mom before she was dying. Mom gave Lila the more well-preserved one and kept the broken one for herself. Informed of these from their conversation, Lila froze for a second. Heart pounding, Lila grabbed a flashlight and tiptoed out into the cold night. 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。 Paragraph 1: The icy water made her jeans wet as Lila stepped into the fountain. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Back home, Mom’s hands froze when she saw Lila holding the bracelet in her hands. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 湖北省黄冈中学2025届高三5月第三次模拟考试 英语试卷 本试卷共10页。满分150分。考试用时120分钟。考试时间：2025年5月25日上午08:00-10:00 ★祝考试顺利★ 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 该部分分为第一、第二两节。注意：回答听力部分时，请先将案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你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题答案】 【答案】A 【2题答案】 【答案】B 【3题答案】 【答案】C 【4题答案】 【答案】A 【5题答案】 【答案】A 第二节（共15小题；每小题1.5分，满分22.5分） 听下面5段对话或独白。每段对话或独白后有几个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听每段对话或独白前，你将有时间阅读各个小题，每小题5秒钟；听完后，各小题将给出5秒钟的作答时间。每段对话或独白读两遍。 【6~7题答案】 【答案】6.

We have a rich variety, including art courses like painting and calligraphy to cultivate creativity, science-focused ones like robotics for curiosity, and some traditional Chinese courses. As far as I’m concerned, these electives have great effects. They liven up our school days and assist us in uncovering our potential. What is most impressive is that some students have shown a great passion for art because of the painting elective. Now, I’m quite curious about elective courses in American high schools. Could you share details like course types and selection methods? Looking forward to your reply. Best regards, Li Hua 第二节 读后续写（满分25分） 【67题答案】 【答案】范文 The icy water made her jeans wet as Lila stepped into the fountain. Her cold fingers searched through the dark water, touching slippery stones and old coins. Suddenly, the flashlight beam revealed something glinting beneath a mossy stone: the bracelet, its chain tangled with red threads, shining softly under the moonlight. Shaking, Lila realized that the red threads were the same as those on the table from Mom’s sewing kit. With a pull, she freed the bracelet, red threads sticking to her hand like blood vessels. Behind her, the school clock rang midnight. She ran home eagerly, the bracelet’ cold metal warming against her chest. Back home, Mom’s hands froze when she saw Lila holding the bracelet in her hands. A screwdriver fell from her fingers, hitting the roll of red thread. “I... I thought you hated it,” Mom said softly, touching the fixed clasp on her own bracelet-the one Lila had never seen her wear. “Mine was broken too,” Lila mumbled, placing the damp bracelet beside its twin. Mom’s tears fell silently as she wove a new red string, making their bracelets repaired and lie side by side. “Grandma said red threads connect hearts across generations,” she finally spoke, fastening both bracelets onto Lila’s wrist. Outside, the sky turned pink with dawn. Lila picked up the screwdriver, gently placing it in Mom’s rough hand. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$湖北省黄冈中学2025届高3 5月模拟考试三第一节听下面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。Hey, Chris, I was wondering if you were free next week. why?

Tomorrow will be one of the hard this days. To be honest, it's not the physical chAllenge of cycling ten hours per day, nor is IT the burning july sun in this desert like part of northern china. The real chAllenge is the lonely ess of cycling for days without any company. The local people in the cities are so friendly, but I ve only just been able to make friends with people who can speak english. But tomorrow morning, i'll have to say goodbye to the lovely family that housed me. I stayed here for an extra two days after this family helped me order food at a restaurant and invited me to stay at their home. They generously offered me a ride around their town and amazing introductions to local food and tradition. I'll miss them a lot as I continue writing, nor through the desert. I write this now not just to motivate myself to continue, but to remind myself that each new friend I make on this trip could provide materials for my new book. As I sit here looking out into an empty desert road, I feel so thankful for the friends i've made and so inspired by the experience of traveling.
