At the end of my final training run, I threw myself down on the floor the moment I got home, only to see my watch had failed me. Twenty-one miles briefly flashed on the screen before it went blank and disappeared forever. I screamed in pain. That tragic image of me crying on my living room floor pretty much sums up my relationship with exercise tracking technology. It can be a total joy to watch your data change as you get stronger and faster, but sometimes it became a stick for punishment. I would compare my pace with other people’s or criticize myself for not doing it 30 seconds faster. I never really recognized this as a problem. To me, tracking was the route to self-improvement, and the point was to be better. In the past year, “being better” has taken on a different meaning. My mental health dropped, and things like brushing my teeth became unimaginably difficult. Being better stopped meaning getting faster or stronger. It meant taking care of myself and feeling some joy. Once I started getting better, I reflected on what made me happy and what did not. So, I stopped tracking my runs and deleted all the data. I then found I genuinely love running. I run around my local park with a silly little smile. But I do not love running quickly. I do not like races. I do not want to be pushed to be faster. I now notice how my legs feel and how my mind feels afterwards — clear and focused. I notice the smell of the wild plants and the sunshine on my face. I am better. Sometimes I am worse. But either way I’m moving forward slowly and firmly, and that’s good enough. 4. What happened when the author got home after the final training run? A. She deleted all the data on her watch. B. Her watch broke down. C. She fell on the floor due to pain. D. Her watch failed to record her pace. 5. What changed the author’s attitude towards exercise tracking? A Her thirst for running casually. B. Her comparison with others. C. Her self-improvement determination. D. Her shift in personal priorities. 6. What does “being better” mean to the author now? A. Getting pleasure out of winning races. B. Being more focused on her speed. C. Improving her overall well-being. D. Freeing herself from school tasks. 7. What can we conclude from this passage? A. Adjustment brings happiness. B. Passion is the key to success. C. Sports contribute to happiness. D. Success equals self-improvement. C A new study published in Science Advances reveals that long-term exposure to extreme heat, such as the record-breaking 188 days above 90℉ (with 140 days over 100℉) in Phoenix last year, can speed up biological aging at the molecular (分子的) level. Led by University of Southern California expert Eunyoung Choi, the research found that long-term heat exposure changes gene behavior through DNA methylation (甲基化), a process with impacts “similar to smoking and drinking.” The study compared adults over 56 in hot regions like Phoenix-where heat readings were over dangerous levels for over half the year-and cooler cities like Seattle. Participants in extreme heat showed biological signs of aging 14 months faster, even after controlling for factors like income, education, and lifestyle.“ Biological aging and actual age don’t always match,” explains Choi, noting that DNA methylation acts as a “molecular clock,” controlling gene activity like a light switch. The study also analyzed blood samples from 3,600 adults, using climate models to track heat exposure over six years-confirming heat’s independent role in speeding up aging. This early aging is connected to getting age-related diseases sooner. “It puts stress on individuals, families, and healthcare systems,” says Boston University expert Deborah Carr, “If that’s something that takes you out of the workforce for a year, that makes you go to the doctors every day for a year, that increases your medical budget.” As the U.S. National Climate Assessment warns of 20-30 more extreme heat days by mid-century, aging populations face heightened risks: older adults have reduced sweating capacity, poor blood circulation (循环), and drug sensitivities that hinder body heat control. “Heat adds extra physical stress,” says Harvard’s Robert Meade. Future research will focus on personalized home heat exposure to find ways to reduce heat’s damage to genes. This work emphasizes heat’s hidden harm to human health and calls for targeted interventions as climate changes. 8. What can be learned about the study from paragraph 2? A. It was focused on gene activity. B. It adopted a comparative approach. C. It overlooked some important factors. D. It was conducted in Phoenix and Seattle. 9. What is the focus of Deborah Carr’s words? A. The function of the study. B. The impact of premature aging. C. The way to reduce medical cost. D. The pressure to improve productivity. 10. What does the underlined word “hinder” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Get in the way of. B. Facilitate. C. Lay the foundation of. D. disable. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A To promote a new anti-aging treatment. B To warn of heat risks and call for further study. C. To reveal the connection between heat and aging. D. To inform about heat’s aging effect and urge action. D Humanoid robots have been a part of science fiction for decades. While this technology has yet to make waves, several companies are already competing for dominance, and one of them is Unitree. The company recently introduced its all-new humanoid robot, the G1, which can perform various tasks and is flexible enough to do a standing long jump and practice Kung Fu. Founded in 2016, Unitree Robotics, officially known as Hangzhou Yushu Technology, is a Chinese robotics company specializing in developing, manufacturing, and selling high-performance robots for industrial and commercial applications. While companies like Boston Dynamics also make similar robots, Unitree differentiates (区别) itself on a few key metrics (指标). First, its robots are significantly more affordable thanks to the internal development of core components like controllers and AI models. Additionally, Unitree has open-sourced its training datasets and reinforcement (强化) learning frameworks for robots like the G1 and H1. For many years, we’ve seen some robots performing actions like walking, bar-tending (倒酒), and serving food. While they have been impressive, these robots often lacked natural movement. This is exactly where the Unitree G1 shines. Weighing around 35 kg and standing at 130 cm, the G1 comes in various versions with 23 to 43 degrees of freedom, tailored to different application needs. Plus, the robot’s 3D LiDAR sensor, combined with a depth sensor and multiple microphones, allows it to be highly aware of its surroundings and make informed decisions. In a recent video, Unitree showcased its G1 robot skipping rope like a regular human. The robot, which can run up to 4.5 mph, also demonstrated training in Kung Fu with humans while performing some tricky moves. Additionally, thanks to its flexible hands, the G1 can perform precise tasks such as solving a Rubik’s cube and turning book pages. The robot runs on a 9,000 mAh battery, which provides up to two hours of operation. The Unitree G1 represents a major leap forward in robotics. As the company continues to improve its robots, we’ll move closer to a future where they are part of our daily lives and relieve humans of repetitive work. 12. What can be learnt about Unitree from paragraph 3? A. It is the first high-end humanoid robots company. B. It avoids competition with Boston Dynamics. C. It can afford internal core components for production. D It shares resources openly to promote robotics development. 13. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A. The G1’s outstanding capabilities. B. The G1’s production process. C. The G1’s development history. D. The G1’s marketing strategy. 14. What does the author think of the Unitree G1? A. It can make decisions like humans. B. It has unlimited applications. C. It is a leading product in robotics. D. It is part of human life. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce the development history of Unitree. B. To compare Unitree with other robotics companies. C. To discuss the future of humanoid robots in daily life. D. To showcase the features and potential of the Unitree G1. 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。 In a world that moves faster than ever, where screens flash and notifications buzz, it’s easy to feel disconnected. But what if the answers to our modern struggles were found not in the latest app, but in the wisdom of a 16th-century Chinese philosopher? Wang Yangming, a thinker who bridged the gap between mind and action, offers a timeless guide for navigating the chaos of today’s world. The Man Behind the Philosophy: A Life of Action Wang Yangming’s life was anything but ordinary. ___16___ But his greatest achievement was his philosophy, which centered on the idea of zhixing heyi — the unity of knowledge and action. “To know and not to act is not to know,” he famously said. Isn’t that exactly what we need in a world full of ideas but often lacking in action? The Modern Dilemma: Information Overload, Action Underload ___17___ It’s easy to feel overwhelmed. We read through endless feeds, absorbing ideas but rarely acting on them. Wang Yangmin’s philosophy reminds us that true wisdom isn’t about consuming more information; it’s about turning what we know into meaningful action. ___18___ Wang led military campaigns, reformed local governance, and taught students from all walks of life. His approach was practical and grounded, focused on solving real-world problems. In today’s terms, he was the ultimate problem-solver — a philosopher who didn’t just talk the talk but walked the walk. ___19___ So, how can you apply Wang Yangming’s wisdom to your life? Start by looking within. In a world that constantly pulls our attention outward, take a moment to reflect. What do you truly believe in? What values guide your actions? ___20___ Whether it’s pursuing a passion, standing up for a cause, or simply being more present in your daily life, remember that knowledge without action is empty. A. The Turning Point: Enlightenment in War. B. The Problem-Solver: Philosophy in Practice. C. “The mind is the principle of all things.” Wang Yangming declared. D. Once you’ve connected with your inner knowing, take the next step: act. E. In our modern world, we’re constantly exposed to information and opinions. F. Born in 1472 during the Ming Dynasty, he was a scholar, a general, and a reformer. G. And that’s exactly the kind of mindset we need in our fast-paced, ever-changing world. 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。 Today, I visited my bank to put a cheque into my account.

He was different from all other men in our village. He valued education and I was one of the very few girls who received education though my family wasn’t well off then. I loved learning new things as a girl and my favourite day of a week was Thursday, for I would sit beside my grandfather who would recite many poems by famous poets. My favourite poet of all was Lord Byron whose poems made me dive into another world of beauty. I loved the way he chooses words that can easily lift me up and make me forget everything around me. I imitated him and started writing poems by myself, I felt it was something I could continue doing for the rest of my life. With several years’ effort, I had written a stack of poems. I found my heart in words and enjoyed writing, poems more and more. One day, while I was helping my grandfather milk the cow, I overheard our neighbours telling my father about a poetry competition, whose winner would get 3,000 pounds. That was good news! At that time my mother became very ill, and the doctor who diagnosed (诊断) her with a serious disease said her condition was growing worse and worse. He suggested that she should have an operation as soon as possible. Unfortunately, our financial state kept deteriorating (恶化); we didn’t have enough money for such an operation. I thought if I won the prize of this poetry competition, I could easily have the money for my mother’s surgery. Hearing my ambitious idea, my father expressed full support for it. So I took out all my poems that were put under my bed, selected one poem from them and registered for the competition. I could barely wait for the competition results. 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。 The big day came — my father and I went to the studio where the prize distribution was taking place. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then we rushed to the hospital to deliver the great news to my mother. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025年8月高三年级阶段性测试 英语 全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1．答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号等填写在答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2．选择题的作答：选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3．非选择题的作答：用签字笔直接写在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4．考试结束后，请将本试题卷和答题卡一并上交。 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2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。 例：How much is the shirt?

At the end of my final training run, I threw myself down on the floor the moment I got home, only to see my watch had failed me. Twenty-one miles briefly flashed on the screen before it went blank and disappeared forever. I screamed in pain. That tragic image of me crying on my living room floor pretty much sums up my relationship with exercise tracking technology. It can be a total joy to watch your data change as you get stronger and faster, but sometimes it became a stick for punishment. I would compare my pace with other people’s or criticize myself for not doing it 30 seconds faster. I never really recognized this as a problem. To me, tracking was the route to self-improvement, and the point was to be better. In the past year, “being better” has taken on a different meaning. My mental health dropped, and things like brushing my teeth became unimaginably difficult. Being better stopped meaning getting faster or stronger. It meant taking care of myself and feeling some joy. Once I started getting better, I reflected on what made me happy and what did not. So, I stopped tracking my runs and deleted all the data. I then found I genuinely love running I run around my local park with a silly little smile. But I do not love running quickly. I do not like races. I do not want to be pushed to be faster. I now notice how my legs feel and how my mind feels afterwards — clear and focused. I notice the smell of the wild plants and the sunshine on my face. I am better. Sometimes I am worse. But either way I’m moving forward slowly and firmly, and that’s good enough. 4. What happened when the author got home after the final training run? A. She deleted all the data on her watch. B. Her watch broke down. C. She fell on the floor due to pain. D. Her watch failed to record her pace. 5. What changed the author’s attitude towards exercise tracking? A. Her thirst for running casually. B. Her comparison with others. C. Her self-improvement determination. D. Her shift in personal priorities. 6. What does “being better” mean to the author now? A. Getting pleasure out of winning races. B. Being more focused on her speed. C. Improving her overall well-being. D. Freeing herself from school tasks. 7. What can we conclude from this passage? A. Adjustment brings happiness. B. Passion is the key to success. C. Sports contribute to happiness. D. Success equals self-improvement. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己从最初追踪自己运动训练数据到后来为改善心理健康放弃这种做法的经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“At the end of my final training run, I threw myself down on the floor the moment I got home, only to see my watch had failed me. Twenty-one miles briefly flashed on the screen before it went blank and disappeared forever.(在最后一次训练结束后，我一回到家就立刻瘫坐在地上，却发现我的手表出故障了。屏幕上短暂闪过21英里的数字，随后便一片空白，再也消失不见)”可知，在最后一次跑步训练后，作者的手表坏了，上面的数据消失了。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“My mental health dropped, and things like brushing my teeth became unimaginably difficult. Being better stopped meaning getting faster or stronger. It meant taking care of myself and feeling some joy. Once I started getting better, I reflected on what made me happy and what did not. So, I stopped tracking my runs and deleted all the data.(我的心理健康状况变差了，就连刷牙这样的小事也变得异常困难。康复不再意味着跑得更快或更强壮，而是意味着照顾好自己并获得一些快乐。一旦我开始好转起来，我就思考了哪些事情能让我感到快乐，哪些事情则不能。于是，我停止了记录跑步数据，并删除了所有的数据)”可知，作者精神健康下降，后来意识到情绪快乐才是自己首先需要的，由此改变了对锻炼记录的看法。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Being better stopped meaning getting faster or stronger. It meant taking care of myself and feeling some joy.(康复不再意味着跑得更快或更强壮，而是意味着照顾好自己并获得一些快乐)”可知，作者现在认为“变得更好”是要照顾自己，提高精神健康。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“To me, tracking was the route to self-improvement, and the point was to be better.(对我来说，追踪记录就是实现自我提升的途径，关键在于要变得更好)”，第四段“Being better stopped meaning getting faster or stronger. It meant taking care of myself and feeling some joy.(变得更好不再意味着跑得更快或更强壮，而是意味着照顾好自己并获得一些快乐)”和最后一段中的“But either way I’m moving forward slowly and firmly, and that’s good enough.(但不管怎样，我都在稳步坚定地向前迈进，这就足够了)”可知，作者从前追踪自己的训练数据到后来改善整体健康状况的改变和调整让自己爱上了跑步。因此“调整会带来幸福”符合本文描述观点。故选A。 C A new study published in Science Advances reveals that long-term exposure to extreme heat, such as the record-breaking 188 days above 90℉ (with 140 days over 100℉) in Phoenix last year, can speed up biological aging at the molecular (分子的) level. Led by University of Southern California expert Eunyoung Choi, the research found that long-term heat exposure changes gene behavior through DNA methylation (甲基化), a process with impacts “similar to smoking and drinking.” The study compared adults over 56 in hot regions like Phoenix-where heat readings were over dangerous levels for over half the year-and cooler cities like Seattle. Participants in extreme heat showed biological signs of aging 14 months faster, even after controlling for factors like income, education, and lifestyle.“ Biological aging and actual age don’t always match,” explains Choi, noting that DNA methylation acts as a “molecular clock,” controlling gene activity like a light switch. The study also analyzed blood samples from 3,600 adults, using climate models to track heat exposure over six years-confirming heat’s independent role in speeding up aging. This early aging is connected to getting age-related diseases sooner. “It puts stress on individuals, families, and healthcare systems,” says Boston University expert Deborah Carr, “If that’s something that takes you out of the workforce for a year, that makes you go to the doctors every day for a year, that increases your medical budget.” As the U.S. National Climate Assessment warns of 20-30 more extreme heat days by mid-century aging populations face heightened risks: older adults have reduced sweating capacity, poor blood circulation (循环), and drug sensitivities that hinder body heat control. “Heat adds extra physical stress,” says Harvard’s Robert Meade. Future research will focus on personalized home heat exposure to find ways to reduce heat’s damage to genes. This work emphasizes heat’s hidden harm to human health and calls for targeted interventions as climate changes. 8. What can be learned about the study from paragraph 2? A. It was focused on gene activity. B. It adopted a comparative approach. C. It overlooked some important factors. D. It was conducted in Phoenix and Seattle. 9. What is the focus of Deborah Carr’s words? A. The function of the study. B. The impact of premature aging. C. The way to reduce medical cost. D. The pressure to improve productivity. 10. What does the underlined word “hinder” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Get in the way of. B. Facilitate. C. Lay the foundation of. D. disable. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To promote a new anti-aging treatment. B. To warn of heat risks and call for further study. C. To reveal the connection between heat and aging. D. To inform about heat’s aging effect and urge action. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍一项新研究发现长期暴露于极端高温会加速人体分子层面的生物衰老，还提及高温衰老的影响及应对研究方向。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The study compared adults over 56 in hot regions like Phoenix-where heat readings were over dangerous levels for over half the year-and cooler cities like Seattle.(该研究比较了凤凰城（一年中有超过一半时间的温度超过危险水平）等炎热地区和西雅图等凉爽城市中56岁以上的成年人。)”可知，这项研究采用了对比的方法。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This early aging is connected to getting age-related diseases sooner. “It puts stress on individuals, families, and healthcare systems,” says Boston University expert Deborah Carr, “If that’s something that takes you out of the workforce for a year, that makes you go to the doctors every day for a year, that increases your medical budget.”(这种过早衰老与更早患上与年龄相关的疾病有关。波士顿大学专家黛博拉·卡尔说：“这会给个人、家庭和医疗保健系统带来压力。如果这导致你一年无法工作，一年中每天都要去看医生，那会增加你的医疗预算。”)”可知，黛博拉·卡尔的话重点在于过早衰老带来的影响。故选B项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“older adults have reduced sweating capacity, poor blood circulation (循环), and drug sensitivities that hinder body heat control.(老年人出汗能力下降、血液循环不良，且对药物敏感，这些都会hinder身体的热量控制。)”可知，老年人的这些身体状况对热量控制是不利的，“hinder”应表示“阻碍”，与“Get in the way of（妨碍）”意思相近。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，文章开篇介绍研究发现长期极端高温会加速生物衰老，接着说明过早衰老的影响、老年人面临的高温风险，最后提到未来研究方向并呼吁针对性干预措施。由此可推断，作者写这篇文章的目的是告知读者高温对衰老的影响，并敦促采取行动。故选D项。 D Humanoid robots have been a part of science fiction for decades. While this technology has yet to make waves, several companies are already competing for dominance, and one of them is Unitree. The company recently introduced its all-new humanoid robot, the G1, which can perform various tasks and is flexible enough to do a standing long jump and practice Kung Fu. Founded in 2016, Unitree Robotics, officially known as Hangzhou Yushu Technology, is a Chinese robotics company specializing in developing, manufacturing, and selling high-performance robots for industrial and commercial applications. While companies like Boston Dynamics also make similar robots, Unitree differentiates (区别) itself on a few key metrics (指标). First, its robots are significantly more affordable thanks to the internal development of core components like controllers and AI models. Additionally, Unitree has open-sourced its training datasets and reinforcement (强化) learning frameworks for robots like the G1 and H1. For many years, we’ve seen some robots performing actions like walking, bar-tending (倒酒), and serving food. While they have been impressive, these robots often lacked natural movement. This is exactly where the Unitree G1 shines. Weighing around 35 kg and standing at 130 cm, the G1 comes in various versions with 23 to 43 degrees of freedom, tailored to different application needs. Plus, the robot’s 3D LiDAR sensor, combined with a depth sensor and multiple microphones, allows it to be highly aware of its surroundings and make informed decisions. In a recent video, Unitree showcased its G1 robot skipping rope like a regular human. The robot, which can run up to 4.5 mph, also demonstrated training in Kung Fu with humans while performing some tricky moves. Additionally, thanks to its flexible hands, the G1 can perform precise tasks such as solving a Rubik’s cube and turning book pages. The robot runs on a 9,000 mAh battery, which provides up to two hours of operation. The Unitree G1 represents a major leap forward in robotics. As the company continues to improve its robots, we’ll move closer to a future where they are part of our daily lives and relieve humans of repetitive work. 12. What can be learnt about Unitree from paragraph 3? A. It is the first high-end humanoid robots company. B. It avoids competition with Boston Dynamics. C. It can afford internal core components for production. D. It shares resources openly to promote robotics development. 13. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A. The G1’s outstanding capabilities. B. The G1’s production process. C. The G1’s development history. D. The G1’s marketing strategy. 14. What does the author think of the Unitree G1? A. It can make decisions like humans. B. It has unlimited applications. C. It is a leading product in robotics. D. It is part of human life. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce the development history of Unitree. B. To compare Unitree with other robotics companies. C. To discuss the future of humanoid robots in daily life. D. To showcase the features and potential of the Unitree G1. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15.

But it is a fast-growing reality: there are at least 628 carbon capture and storage projects in the pipeline around the world. Perhaps the most ____38____ (ambition) type of carbon capture involves removing carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from the air, although there are just a few such ____39____ (facility) currently in operation worldwide.

Called 45. is designed 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍碳捕获技术的争议、类型及英国相关海水碳捕获项目进展。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：世界正大力押注碳捕获技术——该术语指在工业过程中阻止碳污染排放，进而将其永久封存的各类技术。此处为非谓语动词，位于介词之后，使用动名词作宾语，carbon pollution与release为被动关系，所以用动名词的被动形式being released。故填being released。 【37题详解】 考查介词。句意：这种做法引发了一些争议，一些人认为碳捕获成本高、未经证实，还可能分散人们对实际减少碳排放的注意力。此处为“with +宾语+宾语补足语”结构，arguing为现在分词作宾语，用介词with。故填with。 【38题详解】 考查形容词。句意：或许最具雄心的碳捕获类型是直接从空气中去除二氧化碳，尽管目前全球仅少数此类设施在运行。此处修饰名词type，用ambition的形容词形式ambitious，意为“有雄心的”。故填ambitious。 【39题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：或许最具雄心的碳捕获类型是直接从空气中去除二氧化碳，尽管目前全球仅少数此类设施在运行。facility为可数名词，根据a few可知，此处应用复数形式facilities。故填facilities。 【40题详解】 考查冠词。句意：一些科学家认为，更好的选择是从海水中而非空气中捕获碳，因为海洋是地球最大的碳汇，吸收了25%的碳排放。option为可数名词单数，此处表示泛指“一个更好的选择”，且better是以辅音音素开头的单词，用不定冠词a。故填a。 【41题详解】 考查连词。句意：一些科学家认为，更好的选择是从海水中而非空气中捕获碳，因为海洋是地球最大的碳汇，吸收了25%的碳排放。此处为连词引导的状语从句，结合句意，上下文之间为因果关系，所以使用because/as/since引导原因状语从句。故填because/as/since。 【42题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：英国政府于2023年宣布提供高达200亿英镑（267亿美元）资金支持碳捕获，最近在英国英吉利海峡附近，一个此类项目已初具规模。此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句，从句中不缺主语和宾语，所以使用关系副词，先行词为the UK，在从句中作地点状语，用关系副词where。故填where。 【43题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：英国政府于2023年宣布提供高达200亿英镑（267亿美元）资金支持碳捕获，最近在英国英吉利海峡附近，一个此类项目已初具规模。此处为谓语动词，结合“Recently”及语境，强调项目到现在的进展，用现在完成时；主语one such project为单数，所以谓语动词为has taken。故填has taken。 【44题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：该项目名为“海洋碳捕获与利用”（Sea CURE），旨在验证海水碳捕获技术是否切实可行。此处为非谓语动词，it（指代the project）与call为被动关系，用过去分词called作状语，位于句首，首字母大写。故填Called。 【45题详解】 考查动词语态和时态。句意：该试点工厂约一年前开始建设，过去几个月已投入运营，设计目标为每分钟处理3000升海水，预计每年去除100吨二氧化碳。此处为谓语动词，描述客观设计情况，用一般现在时；且it（指代the pilot plant）与design为被动关系，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，且主语为第三人称单数，所以谓语动词为is designed。故填is designed。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 面对日益严峻的环境问题，推广绿色生活方式变得尤为重要。假定你是校英文报编辑李华，请你代表校英文报写一封倡议信，呼吁大家在日常生活中践行绿色生活方式。 内容包括：1.倡议的原因； 2.倡议的具体内容； 注意：1.写作词数应为80左右； 2.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear fellow students, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear fellow students, Given the present challenging environmental conditions, I am asking you to take action to promote a green lifestyle.

He was different from all other men in our village. He valued education and I was one of the very few girls who received education though my family wasn’t well off then. I loved learning new things as a girl and my favourite day of a week was Thursday, for I would sit beside my grandfather who would recite many poems by famous poets. My favourite poet of all was Lord Byron whose poems made me dive into another world of beauty. I loved the way he chooses words that can easily lift me up and make me forget everything around me. I imitated him and started writing poems by myself, I felt it was something I could continue doing for the rest of my life. With several years’ effort, I had written a stack of poems. I found my heart in words and enjoyed writing, poems more and more. One day, while I was helping my grandfather milk the cow, I overheard our neighbours telling my father about a poetry competition, whose winner would get 3,000 pounds. That was good news! At that time my mother became very ill, and the doctor who diagnosed (诊断) her with a serious disease said her condition was growing worse and worse. He suggested that she should have an operation as soon as possible. Unfortunately, our financial state kept deteriorating (恶化); we didn’t have enough money for such an operation. I thought if I won the prize of this poetry competition, I could easily have the money for my mother’s surgery. Hearing my ambitious idea, my father expressed full support for it. So I took out all my poems that were put under my bed, selected one poem from them and registered for the competition. I could barely wait for the competition results. 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。 The big day came — my father and I went to the studio where the prize distribution was taking place. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then we rushed to the hospital to deliver the great news to my mother. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 The big day came — my father and I went to the studio where the prize distribution was taking place. I never felt more anxious and nervous. The moment the man on stage announced me as the winner of the 3, 000 pounds, I was filled with an incredible sense of excitement. As I made my way from the stage, I could see tears of joy in my dad’s eyes and I could feel how proud he was of me. “If only my mother were here to witness me receiving the award!” I thought. Then we rushed to the hospital to deliver the great news to my mother. Learning about the good news, she hugged me tightly. The operation afterwards went well and my mother’s condition got better and better. A deep sense of relief and satisfaction washed over me because I had made the right decision. Encouraged by my family, I have firmly resolved to pursue a professional career as a poet, devoting myself to writing more poems that bring joy and enrichment to others. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者喜欢诗歌，去参加诗歌比赛，父亲也表示支持。最终作者获得了丰厚的奖金，为妈妈赢得了治病的钱。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“重大的日子来了，我和父亲去了颁奖的工作室”可知，第一段可描写作者获奖以及当时的心理活动和感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后我们赶到医院，把这个好消息告诉了我妈妈”可知，第二段可描写母亲得知消息的反应以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：去颁奖工作室——宣布获奖——喜悦激动——告知妈妈——妈妈好转——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①充满：be filled with /be full of ②拥抱：hug/hold/cuddle 情绪类 ①快乐：joy/happiness ②紧张：nervous/anxious/stressed 【点睛】[高分句型1] As I made my way from the stage, I could see tears of joy in my dad’s eyes and I could feel how proud he was of me.
