2025届高三英语保温卷 (一) 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和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A The Language Exchange Programme allows students in pairs to communicate in two different languages they wish to share and learn each week. Students record short entries after each partner meeting, noting the language skills practised and the topics discussed. Each pair of students meets three times throughout the term with a teacher who decides if the exchange is effective. Students who successfully complete the programme will receive one credit each. Requirements for completion: • One welcoming session on the second Friday of the term ·18 weekly one-hour pair meetings · Weekly progress reports for all pair meetings • At least three pair-teacher meetings · One five-minute final video Sign up! The sign-up and registration process is as follows: • Students sign up and indicate the languages they can share and languages they are interested in learning. • Based on the information entered by each student, potential pairs are identified. • Proficiency (熟练) levels are confirmed through coursework or placement tests. • Once a pair has been determined to be suitable, the students will be contacted individually with a special permission number to register for the programme. Reminders: Signing up for the programme does not automatically mean that you will be able to register and participate. Pairs are matched by languages of interest and proficiency levels. Since there are many factors involved in the pairing process, not all students who sign up will be matched with a partner and be able to register for the programme. 21. In the programme, students will . A. chair daily meetings B. evaluate the exchange C. meet teachers each week D. practise their language skills 22. To complete the programme, students are required to . A. development tests B. welcome new students C. participate in pair meetings D. work on weekly videos 23. What do students need to do during the registration? A. Indicate their languages of interest. B. Select their own coursework. C. Make individual contact. D. Choose their partners. B Ladakh, in the trans-Himalayas, has fascinated me since my first visit 20 years ago. In 2011,my fifth time in Ladakh, the region's raw beauty held an entirely different pull — one that seemed full of an ancient energy, a force I hadn't noticed before. In the very bones of the land lay a collection of prehistoric carvings known as petroglyphs(岩画), the only remains of prehistoric human presence in the area. Seeing these carvings, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was witnessing something far deeper than I had imagined. There was an urgency to document them, as centuries-old carvings were being destroyed under the pressures of development. As a mountain enthusiast always seeking adventures, I began a decade-long journey of discovery and documentation. These markings were not just carvings on rock but reflections of an ancient culture we know little about. Despite tough living conditions, these hunter-gatherers still found ways to convey their beliefs and observations through highly stylized forms, reflecting the deep artistic desire that has always been a part of the human. As artist and anthropologist Desmond Morris put it, “It is as if the human species were incapable of being artless regardless of material circumstances.” To bring these open-air art galleries to a wider audience, I wanted to create something that had not been attempted before by using specialized photography techniques with my focus being on distribution, styles and creative range. It was no small matter, given the vastness of Ladakh, my ambition to capture art from every region, the limited windows of opportunity, and the harsh conditions I faced. Not to mention, all my trips were personally funded. When the book —Speaking Stones: Rock Art of Ladakh —— was named a finalist for the Banff Mountain Book Award in 2024,I was honored, but the recognition was secondary. My true reward was a deeper connection with time and nature through a vast unbroken string, binding us all together. 24. What drove the author to document the petroglyphs? A. The threat of regional progress. B. The appeal of amazing scenery. C. A search for thrilling experiences. D. A childhood bond with ancient art. 25. What can we learn from Morris's quote in paragraph 3? A. Art is the mirror of nature. B. Art inspires human wisdom. C. Art is deeply rooted in humans. D. Art can't exist without materials. 26. Which can best describe the process of creating the book? A. Systematic. B. Painstaking. C. Brain-tearing. D. Eventful. 27. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Tasting the Past: The Analysis of Petroglyphs B. Written in Stone: Ladakh's Timeless Artistry C. Guarding the Rocks:A Saver of Ladakh's Heritage D. Carved by Time:A Record of Himalayan Geography C Understanding a simple-looking English sentence such as“I read this article yesterday”actually requires some complicated conceptual computation: a subject (“I”) performed an action(“read”) on an object(“article”) at a specific time(“yesterday”). But the human brain routinely does this work nearly at once based on the language’ s grammatical rules, says linguist Andrea E. Martin.And Martin's team has now found that the human brain can accommodate fundamental grammatical differences across languages by adjusting how it processes each sentence. For a recent study in PLOS Biology, the researchers observed variations in Dutch-speaking participants’ brain waves while they listened to a Dutch-language audiobook. To visualize these changes, the scientists used a metric (指标) quantifying how many new“predictions” the brain makes of words that could come next in a sentence. This framework was then tested against three different parsing (语法分析的) strategies, or linguistic models that illustrate how the brain builds information over time. Previous English-based studies with a similar setup concluded in favor of a model where listeners“wait and see” how each phrase in a sentence will end before interpreting it. But the Dutch speakers in Martin's study leaned strongly toward a highly predictive model; participants tended to finish each phrase in their head preemptively before it was complete.(A third model, in which listeners wait to hear all of the phrases in a sentence before interpreting any part of it, is seldom used in either language.) In Dutch language structure, verbs come near the end of a sentence rather than immediately after the subject like they do in English, while in Korean, the subject is usually left out and inArabic verbs often come first. So flexibility is vital in processing different languages simply because they have different properties. The findings support the need for scientists to include more diversity when crafting linguistic models. “This is going to help us capture how the brain is understanding the structured meaning of language, and the social application of language,” Martin says. “There's so much yet to be understood in the brain.” 28. Why does the author cite the example in paragraph 1? A. To introduce a grammar rule. B. To analyze an English sentence. C. To bring in a new research finding. D. To stress the complexity of human brain. 29. What does the underlined word“preemptively” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. By accident. B. In advance. C. On time. D. By mistake. 30. Which sentence can match the Dutch language structure, according to the passage? A. Universe the about documentary saw. B. Saw I a documentary about the universe. C. I saw a documentary about the universe. D. I a documentary about the universe saw. 31. What does Martin try to stress in the last paragraph? A. The challenges of brain researches. B. The application of diverse languages. C. The purposes of different linguistic models. D. The necessity to diversify subjects in studies. D Recently, a friend asked for help with a tricky problem: they were staging a play, and the script had a large number of characters. They didn't want to hire an actor for each role, and while they could double up, they would run into problems if the same actor were playing two characters in a scene. Luckily, I was the right person to come to for help. There's a versatile (通用的) piece of maths — graph colouring — that’ s effective at solving many such problems, from casting a play to timetable scheduling. Mathematicians are often particularly interested in graph colouring, which involves assigning a colour to each point of a graph-networks of points joined by lines, so that any two points joined with a line are assigned different colours. Finding the minimum number of colours needed to do this can tell us something useful about the graph's structure. For example, a graph with a triangle of points all joined to a fourth point in the centre will need at least four colours to fill it in. One of my favourite uses of graph colouring is in scheduling problems: imagine a set of students, with a shared set of classes. We can draw a graph, indicating each class by a point, and join two points if those classes have any students taking both (so they can't happen at the same time). Then, we find a way to colour the graph using the fewest possible colours. The minimum number of colours will tell us how many timetable periods we will need: each colour represents a set of classes with no overlap in students, so they can all happen simultaneously (同时地). This may tell you how I solved my friend's problem: I suggested they draw a graph, represent each character with a point, and join two characters with a line if they appeared in any scenes together. Colouring this graph minimally then told them exactly how many actors they would need to stage the play. Another victory for maths — on with the show! 32. What worried the author's friend most? A. The lack of towering actors. B. The numerous scene changes. C. The tight budget for costumes. D. The scene conflicts of the same actor. 33. Which of the following best illustrates the example in paragraph 2? B: Blue G: Green R: Red Y: Yellow 34. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3? A. Clarify an assumption. B. Present an application. C. Introduce an approach. D. Analyze a phenomenon. 35. How does the author sound in the last paragraph? A. Proud. B. Serious. C. Hesitant. D. Authoritative. 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。 Imagine it's the dead of winter. A group of hedgehogs(刺猬) get together to share body heat, but they quickly withdraw as their quills(刺) hurt one another when they get too close. As the cold weather sinks in, the hedgehogs get together again, and withdraw again.36. : do they tolerate the cold in isolation(孤立) or share the pain? This is the hedgehog's dilemma, invented byGerman philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer in 1851. Today, the hedgehog's dilemma is widely known for its examination of complex questions about human connection and isolation. It is a metaphor for human closeness. Hedgehogs get together for warmth, while we for love and affection. 37. . Insensitive words and poor decisions are the sharp quills we use to stab one another. The closer we get to a person, the greater mutual harm. People with an avoidant attachment style tend to guard themselves against human hedgehogs’quills. They prefer the pain of loneliness. Contrarily, the anxious attachment style draws too close to the other hedgehogs.38. . Different as they seem, both types of people are trapped in a dilemma that prevents them meeting their emotional needs. 39. . But it isn't impossible to solve. Arthur Schopenhauer himself proposed that the key solution to the hedgehog's dilemma is to find balance. Like the hedgehogs finally finding the right distance to keep warm without touching, people at two extremes of the dilemma must meet in the middle. So, if you find yourself overstepping or pulling away in your relationships, talk to your partner.40. . It will save you both a lot of needless suffering. A. No one wants to compromise B. Now they' re faced with the dilemma C. The hedgehog problem is a tricky one D. Understanding our own behavior is tough sometimes E. In their search for closeness, they get hurt over and over again F. Work together to identify a compromise that works for both of you G. The cold winter is the loneliness we experience when we withdraw from society 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 spent a lot of time outdoors — camping and skiing in the mountains.

There is rarely a moment when my head is completely clear and Iam devoting all of my attention to one subject matter. I can't even relax in my sleep; I solve math problems in my dreams more than I would like to admit. It was freshman year and I wanted to explore the new and exciting electives (选修课) that Icould enroll in and that my middle school didn't offer. As I was carefully studying the list of what seemed like a million courses I could take, one stuck out: Interior Design(室内设计). My mom andI watch HGTV every Sunday morning as we drink coffee. After watching so many of these shows, Iwas confident that I could design a whole house. What could go wrong? It's just about colors,patterns, textures, and furniture, right? At the end of the semester, we were at the final stretch of the year, with only about a week left of regular classes before finals, and we were working on our final projects. The assignment was simple:“Design a 3D model of a room in your dream home.”“Perfect,” I thought to myself, “an easy 100 final grade.” As I dived into my final project, I quickly realized that designing a 3D model of a room in my dream home was far from the piece of cake I had pictured. At first, I was overwhelmed by the complexity of the software. It wasn't just about picking colors and arranging furniture; it was about understanding dimensions, angles, and lighting. Every time I thought I had a handle on it,something would go wrong. The walls wouldn't arrange in a line, the furniture would float in mid-air, and the colors I chose looked nothing like they did on-screen. My anxiety began to grow. I found myself staying up late into the night, staring at my computer screen, and feeling more and more frustrated with each passing minute. I started to doubt myself. What if I wasn't cut out for this? What if I failed the course because of this one project? 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 I decided to reach out for help and approached my mom one day. Armed with my mom's support,I spent days fully engaged in my project. I decided to reach out for help and approached my mom one day. Armed with my mom's support, I spent days fully engaged in my project —— Sample I decided to reach out for help and approached my mom one day. Tears welled up in my eyes as I spilled out all my frustrations about the project. “I just can't seem to get it right,” I sobbed. My mom listened patiently, and then gave me a reassuring hug. “Design isn’ t just about getting everything perfect technically,” she said. “It’ s about expressing yourself and having fun with it.Come on! We' ll work on it together.” Afterwards, we dived back into the project with renewed energy. My mom helped me navigate the software, offering tips and tricks she had picked up from watching all those HGTV shows. We chose a color that reflected my cheerful personality and picked out furniture that fit the style I was going for. Armed with my mom's support, I spent days fully engaged in my project. I adjusted the lighting,aligned the walls, and arranged the furniture. As I worked, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. For the first time, my anxious mind was focused solely on creating something beautiful. When I finally presented my project, I was thrilled with it. The room I had designed was a perfect blend of style and comfort, and a reflection of who I was. And as I looked at my mom, who was beaming with pride, I knew that I couldn't have done it without her support. Together, we had turned my frustration into a masterpiece. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
