Crystal River, Florida Located about one hour and a half north of Tampa, Crystal River is the only part of Florida where swimmers are monitored around manatees or sea cows. The area keeps a list of Special Use permit holders authorized to offer tours, rentals, and instruction within its limits. If you’re ready to dive into water and meet manatees for yourself, there’s no better place to start your adventure. Clear Lake, Oregon Located in Willamette National Forest in Central Oregon, the snow-fed Clear Lake has a year-round temperature of about 43 degrees Fahrenheit. True to its name, Clear Lake’s water allows people on its surface to see a surprising 200 feet below. Its coldness has preserved an underwater forest. Cooper River, South Carolina The Cooper River is a short, wide river that begins at Lake Moultrie and finally empties into Charleston Harbour. The water is cold and you can hardly see anything at 20 feet deep, making it a significant challenge even for experienced divers. It is legal here to search for and collect megalodon (巨齿鲨) teeth and whale fossils (化石) buried in the depths. Hopeful collectors need not only excellent diving skills but also a strong flashlight, a collection net, and a South Carolina Hobby License. Blue Hole, New Mexico On historic Route between Albuquerque and Amarillo, the Blue Hole of Santa Rosa, New Mexico, looks like a valuable blue stone in the desert. Its spring water refreshes itself every six hours and keeps a steady, year-round temperature of 62 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s a popular destination for swimmers and an excellent location for diving instructors to conduct training courses. 1. What makes Crystal River a unique diving destination in Florida? A. It is the deepest river in Florida with clear water B. It offers the cheapest diving tours in Florida. C. It is close to Tampa and has the best diving conditions. D. It is the only place in Florida to dive with manatees. 2 Why is diving in Cooper River considered challenging? A. It requires special permission from local authorities. B. Divers must handle extremely fast water currents. C. Visibility is poor and water temperatures are low. D. Collecting fossils demands advanced equipment. 3. What do the Clear Lake and the Blue Hole have in common? A. They are located in national forests. B. They have exceptional water depth. C. They have steady water temperatures year-round. D. They are popular destinations for diving instructors. B Maria Rodriguez, our school cafeteria server for ten years, always greeted us with a warm smile while preparing meals. One Monday, however, I noticed her quietly wiping tears in the corner of the staff room. My first thought was that she might be facing personal hardships — until I saw her gently holding a framed certificate and whispering, “I did it... finally.” Her tears, I soon realized, were of overwhelming pride. At 42, Maria had just earned her high school diploma. Struggling with hearing loss since childhood, Maria dropped out at 15 to support her sick parents. She worked multiple low-income jobs until securing stable work in our school cafeteria. Last year, when the school introduced a new digital ordering system, Maria’s supervisor gently explained that operating it required basic computer literacy — which in turn required a high school credential. “We’ll keep your position,” he said, “but to continue long-term, you’ll need to complete your diploma within two years.” Maria enrolled in night classes at a local adult education center. Balancing her cafeteria shifts, parenting two teenagers, and studying meant surviving on 4-5 hours of sleep nightly. She tracked her progress uniquely: every passed practice test earned a gold star on her kitchen calendar. “Those stars shouted ‘Keep going!’ on exhausting days,” she laughed. Her biology teacher remarked, “Maria often stayed after class to review materials — her determination was extraordinary.” When Maria received her diploma last month, she called it “a key unlocking doors I thought were sealed forever.” But for her, graduation isn’t an endpoint — it’s a launchpad. She now enrolled in online business courses. “My next goal is to manage a food-service team,” she declared. “This is just the beginning.” 4. Why was Maria crying in the staff room? A. She felt exhausted from overwork. B She recalled her family difficulties. C. Her supervisor criticized her performance. D. She had achieved an important milestone. 5. What did the school require Maria to do to keep her job? A. Master the digital system within a nonth. B. Complete her high school education. C. Train another staff member. D. Switch to part-time work. 6. How did Maria motivate herself during tough times? A. By focusing on small symbols of progress. B. By reducing her workload significantly. C. By seeking financial support from the school. D. By prioritizing sleep over studying. 7. What can we learn from Maria’s story? A. Nothing can stop a willing heart. B. The early bird catches the worm. C. Always prepare for a rainy day. D. Grasp all, lose all. C In recent years, the concept of “slow travel” has emerged as a reaction to the fast paced, mass tourism that dominates the industry. Slow travel encourages travelers to engage profoundly with local cultures, stay longer in destinations, and form meaningful connections with local communities. One of the key principles of slow travel is to reduce environmental impact. By choosing to stay in locally-owned accommodations, eating at family-run restaurants, and using public transportation or bicycles, travelers can significantly decrease their carbon footprint. For instance, a study found that tourists who engage in slow travel produce up to 70% less greenhouse gas emissions compared to those on traditional package tours. Slow travel also allows for a deeper cultural understanding. Instead of rushing through tourist attractions, slow travelers take the time to participate in local traditions, learn about historical significance, and interact with residents. This not only enriches the travel experience but also provides economic benefits to local communities. In some rural areas, slow travel initiatives have helped preserve endangered crafts and revitalize (使恢复元气) dying traditions. However, slow travel is not without challenges. It requires more planning and flexibility, as travelers need to research local customs, transportation options, and authentic experiences. Additionally, slow travel may not be feasible for everyone due to time or budget constraints (约束). For busy professionals or families with limited vacation days, spending weeks in a single destination may seem unrealistic. Despite these challenges, the slow travel movement continues to grow. Travelers are becoming more conscious of their environmental and cultural impact, and many are seeking more authentic and sustainable ways to explore the world. As a result, travel companies are starting to offer more slow-travel options. such as extended homestays and cultural immersion programs. 8. What is the benefit of slow travel? A. It can save money on traveling. B. It can be more environmentally friendly. C. It can allow travelers to visit more places hurriedly. D. It can increase the financial income of travel companies. 9. What can we learn about slow travel from the third paragraph? A. It has little impact on local economies. B. It focuses on superficial interactions with locals. C. It discourages travelers from learning about history. D. It may contribute to the preservation of traditional crafts. 10. What does the underlined word “feasible” mean in this context? A. practical B. inevitable C. contradictory D. desirable 11. What can be inferred about the future of slow travel? A. It will replace traditional tourism entirely. B. It may become more popular in the future. C. It will cost less as time passes. D. It will only be accessible to wealthy travelers. D French scientists from France’s Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) have announced their experiment — carried out on February 12 — has set a new record of 1,337 seconds for keeping or maintaining hydrogen atoms in a state called plasma (等离子体), 25 percent longer than the previous one, which was set in China last month. The team said their work marks an important step in the search for nuclear fusion (核聚变) methods that could produce clean, safe and almost limitless energy. The aim of fusion research is to create the same kind of nuclear reaction as happens in the center of the sun. In a fusion reaction, the centers of two atoms fuse, or join together, to form a new atom with a heavier nucleus, or center, releasing large amounts of energy. However, because fusion happens at very high temperatures, it is difficult to control. The scientists in France used a machine — a circular ring with strong walls to resist intense heat — called a tokamak to do their research. Inside the ring, hydrogen atoms are heated to temperatures up to about 50 million degrees Celsius, creating plasma that is held together by powerful magnets. Anne-Isabelle Etienvre, CEA’s head of fundamental research, told the French news agency AFP the new record for making plasma shows “that we control its production, but also its maintenance.” However, Etienvre noted that there are still many “technological barriers” to overcome before fusion can “produce more energy than it consumes”. Scientists say that for nuclear fusion to succeed, hydrogen atoms will need to be heated up to more than 100 million degrees Celsius. But at this extreme temperature, plasma can become unstable and difficult to control, which can lead to energy loss and limit how well a possible future nuclear fusion reactor could work. In the coming months, the research team will look to increase the time they can keep the atoms in a plasma state, hoping to bring the total time “up to several hours combined”. The CEA noted that in future experiments, scientists will also aim to heat the plasma to higher temperatures and examine the effects the hot plasma has on their testing machine. Teams from multiple countries are working together in southern France to build the world’s largest tokamak and fusion research center, called ITER, hoping the current research on maintaining plasma will be useful for future projects at ITER. However, AFP reports that repeated delays and increasing costs have postponed operations at ITER until at least 2033. 12. What is the main achievement reported by French scientists? A. They created a new type of tokamak machine. B. They achieved nuclear fusion at 100 million degrees Celsius. C. They broke China’s record for plasma maintenance time by 25%. D. They sustained plasma for 1337 seconds, setting a new world record. 13. According to the text, what remains a major challenge for nuclear fusion? A. Building larger tokamak machines. B. Reducing experiment costs. C. Maintaining plasma stability at over 100 million degrees Celsius. D. Finding alternative energy sources. 14. What will the scientists mainly try to do in the next step? A. To heat the plasma to 100 million degrees Celsius. B. To keep hydrogen atoms in a plasma state longer. C. To test how the hot plasma affects the testing machine. D. To research how nuclear fusion happens. 15. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Plasma — a state of hydrogen atoms B. Nuclear fusion — a technology to improve human life C. A great breakthrough — scientists made in nuclear fusion D. Hydrogen atoms — the fuel of nuclear fusion 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。 Successful team collaboration is essential for achieving complex goals.

But everything changed when I turned sixteen. One evening, I came home to find her holding our mother’s broken porcelain vase — the one that had been passed down for generations. Her hands trembled as she tried to explain it was an accident. “You broke it” I screamed. “This meant everything to Mom” Lily burst into tears and ran out of the room. From that day on, she avoided me, and our once-close bond shattered. A month later, our school organized a community service project at the local nursing home. I was paired with Lily, much to my dismay. The thought of spending hours with her filled me with dread. As we walked into the nursing home, an elderly woman named Mrs. Wilson greeted us with a warm smile. “You girls look just like my granddaughters,” she said. “Would you mind helping me with my garden?” We nodded reluctantly. In the garden, Lily and I worked, in silence. Mrs. Wilson chatted about her late husband and how much she missed him. Suddenly, both Mrs. Wilson and I glanced at Lily staring at a cracked flowerpot. Mrs. Wilson went up to her, and touched the flowerpot gently.” This is the last gift from my husband. Though it is broken, every time I see it my husband’s smile comes to my mind. “Seeing Lily and me, listening seriously, she continued softly “Love isn’t about perfection.” It’s about seeing the beauty in broken things.” 注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: That night, I found Lily sitting on the porch, staring at the stars. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next day we decided to fix the broken vase together. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 江淮十校2026届高三第一次联考 英语试题 2025.8 注意事项： 1.本试卷由四个部分组成。其中第一、二部分和第三部分的第一节为选择题;第三部分的第二节和第四部分为非选择题。共10页、150分。 2.全部答案在答题卡上相应区域内完成，在本试卷上作答无效。选择题请使用2B铅笔填涂，非选择题请使用0.5毫米黑色签字笔作答。要求字体工整、笔迹清晰。 3.请在答题卡规定的地方填写好个人信息，并认真核对答题卡上所粘贴的条形码是否与本人的信息一致。 4.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，请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.

One Monday, however, I noticed her quietly wiping tears in the corner of the staff room. My first thought was that she might be facing personal hardships — until I saw her gently holding a framed certificate and whispering, “I did it... finally.” Her tears, I soon realized, were of overwhelming pride. At 42, Maria had just earned her high school diploma. Struggling with hearing loss since childhood, Maria dropped out at 15 to support her sick parents. She worked multiple low-income jobs until securing stable work in our school cafeteria. Last year, when the school introduced a new digital ordering system, Maria’s supervisor gently explained that operating it required basic computer literacy — which in turn required a high school credential. “We’ll keep your position,” he said, “but to continue long-term, you’ll need to complete your diploma within two years.” Maria enrolled in night classes at a local adult education center. Balancing her cafeteria shifts, parenting two teenagers, and studying meant surviving on 4-5 hours of sleep nightly. She tracked her progress uniquely: every passed practice test earned a gold star on her kitchen calendar. “Those stars shouted ‘Keep going!’ on exhausting days,” she laughed. Her biology teacher remarked, “Maria often stayed after class to review materials — her determination was extraordinary.” When Maria received her diploma last month, she called it “a key unlocking doors I thought were sealed forever.” But for her, graduation isn’t an endpoint — it’s a launchpad. She now enrolled in online business courses. “My next goal is to manage a food-service team,” she declared. “This is just the beginning.” 4. Why was Maria crying in the staff room? A. She felt exhausted from overwork. B. She recalled her family difficulties. C. Her supervisor criticized her performance. D. She had achieved an important milestone. 5. What did the school require Maria to do to keep her job? A. Master the digital system within a nonth. B. Complete her high school education. C. Train another staff member. D. Switch to part-time work. 6. How did Maria motivate herself during tough times? A. By focusing on small symbols of progress. B. By reducing her workload significantly. C. By seeking financial support from the school. D. By prioritizing sleep over studying. 7. What can we learn from Maria’s story? A. Nothing can stop a willing heart. B. The early bird catches the worm. C. Always prepare for a rainy day. D. Grasp all, lose all. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7.

Slow travel encourages travelers to engage profoundly with local cultures, stay longer in destinations, and form meaningful connections with local communities. One of the key principles of slow travel is to reduce environmental impact. By choosing to stay in locally-owned accommodations, eating at family-run restaurants, and using public transportation or bicycles, travelers can significantly decrease their carbon footprint. For instance, a study found that tourists who engage in slow travel produce up to 70% less greenhouse gas emissions compared to those on traditional package tours. Slow travel also allows for a deeper cultural understanding. Instead of rushing through tourist attractions, slow travelers take the time to participate in local traditions, learn about historical significance, and interact with residents. This not only enriches the travel experience but also provides economic benefits to local communities. In some rural areas, slow travel initiatives have helped preserve endangered crafts and revitalize (使恢复元气) dying traditions. However, slow travel is not without challenges. It requires more planning and flexibility, as travelers need to research local customs, transportation options, and authentic experiences. Additionally, slow travel may not be feasible for everyone due to time or budget constraints (约束). For busy professionals or families with limited vacation days, spending weeks in a single destination may seem unrealistic. Despite these challenges, the slow travel movement continues to grow. Travelers are becoming more conscious of their environmental and cultural impact, and many are seeking more authentic and sustainable ways to explore the world. As a result, travel companies are starting to offer more slow-travel options. such as extended homestays and cultural immersion programs. 8. What is the benefit of slow travel? A. It can save money on traveling. B. It can be more environmentally friendly. C. It can allow travelers to visit more places hurriedly. D. It can increase the financial income of travel companies. 9. What can we learn about slow travel from the third paragraph? A. It has little impact on local economies. B. It focuses on superficial interactions with locals. C. It discourages travelers from learning about history. D. It may contribute to the preservation of traditional crafts. 10. What does the underlined word “feasible” mean in this context? A. practical B. inevitable C. contradictory D. desirable 11. What can be inferred about the future of slow travel? A. It will replace traditional tourism entirely. B. It may become more popular in the future. C. It will cost less as time passes. D. It will only be accessible to wealthy travelers. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了近年“慢旅行”兴起以应对快节奏大众旅游，其能减少环境影响、深化文化理解，但存在规划多等挑战，如今仍在发展，相关旅行选择增多。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“One of the key principles of slow travel is to reduce environmental impact.

The team said their work marks an important step in the search for nuclear fusion (核聚变) methods that could produce clean, safe and almost limitless energy. The aim of fusion research is to create the same kind of nuclear reaction as happens in the center of the sun. In a fusion reaction, the centers of two atoms fuse, or join together, to form a new atom with a heavier nucleus, or center, releasing large amounts of energy. However, because fusion happens at very high temperatures, it is difficult to control. The scientists in France used a machine — a circular ring with strong walls to resist intense heat — called a tokamak to do their research. Inside the ring, hydrogen atoms are heated to temperatures up to about 50 million degrees Celsius, creating plasma that is held together by powerful magnets. Anne-Isabelle Etienvre, CEA’s head of fundamental research, told the French news agency AFP the new record for making plasma shows “that we control its production, but also its maintenance.” However, Etienvre noted that there are still many “technological barriers” to overcome before fusion can “produce more energy than it consumes”. Scientists say that for nuclear fusion to succeed, hydrogen atoms will need to be heated up to more than 100 million degrees Celsius. But at this extreme temperature, plasma can become unstable and difficult to control, which can lead to energy loss and limit how well a possible future nuclear fusion reactor could work. In the coming months, the research team will look to increase the time they can keep the atoms in a plasma state, hoping to bring the total time “up to several hours combined”. The CEA noted that in future experiments, scientists will also aim to heat the plasma to higher temperatures and examine the effects the hot plasma has on their testing machine. Teams from multiple countries are working together in southern France to build the world’s largest tokamak and fusion research center, called ITER, hoping the current research on maintaining plasma will be useful for future projects at ITER. However, AFP reports that repeated delays and increasing costs have postponed operations at ITER until at least 2033. 12. What is the main achievement reported by French scientists? A. They created a new type of tokamak machine. B. They achieved nuclear fusion at 100 million degrees Celsius. C. They broke China’s record for plasma maintenance time by 25%. D. They sustained plasma for 1,337 seconds, setting a new world record. 13. According to the text, what remains a major challenge for nuclear fusion? A. Building larger tokamak machines. B. Reducing experiment costs. C. Maintaining plasma stability at over 100 million degrees Celsius. D. Finding alternative energy sources. 14. What will the scientists mainly try to do in the next step? A. To heat the plasma to 100 million degrees Celsius. B. To keep hydrogen atoms in a plasma state longer. C. To test how the hot plasma affects the testing machine. D. To research how nuclear fusion happens. 15 Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Plasma — a state of hydrogen atoms B. Nuclear fusion — a technology to improve human life C. A great breakthrough — scientists made in nuclear fusion D. Hydrogen atoms — the fuel of nuclear fusion 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15.

But everything changed when I turned sixteen. One evening, I came home to find her holding our mother’s broken porcelain vase — the one that had been passed down for generations. Her hands trembled as she tried to explain it was an accident. “You broke it” I screamed. “This meant everything to Mom” Lily burst into tears and ran out of the room. From that day on, she avoided me, and our once-close bond shattered. A month later, our school organized a community service project at the local nursing home. I was paired with Lily, much to my dismay. The thought of spending hours with her filled me with dread. As we walked into the nursing home, an elderly woman named Mrs. Wilson greeted us with a warm smile. “You girls look just like my granddaughters,” she said. “Would you mind helping me with my garden?” We nodded reluctantly. In the garden, Lily and I worked, in silence. Mrs. Wilson chatted about her late husband and how much she missed him. Suddenly, both Mrs. Wilson and I glanced at Lily staring at a cracked flowerpot. Mrs. Wilson went up to her, and touched the flowerpot gently.” This is the last gift from my husband. Though it is broken, every time I see it my husband’s smile comes to my mind. “Seeing Lily and me, listening seriously, she continued softly “Love isn’t about perfection.” It’s about seeing the beauty in broken things.” 注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: That night, I found Lily sitting on the porch, staring at the stars. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next day, we decided to fix the broken vase together. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: That night, I found Lily sitting on the porch, staring at the stars. Her shoulders shook slightly as she wiped away tears. I hesitated, then took a deep breath and sat beside her. “I’m sorry,” I said quietly. “I shouldn’t have blamed you for the vase. Mom would’ve wanted us to forgive each other.” Lily turned to me, her eyes glistening. “I’ve been so scared to talk to you,” she whispered. “I thought you’d never forgive me. I didn’t mean to break it.” I wrapped my arm around her, and we sat in silence, the weight of our misunderstanding lifting. Finally, Lily said, “Mrs. Wilson’s pot had cracks, but she said it was still special.” I nodded. “Maybe we can stick these together?” Paragraph 2: The next day, we decided to repair the broken vase together. I brought out the box of vase pieces I’d swept up that day. We spread the pieces on the table and got white glue. Lily held two pieces up: “See? This curve fits here.” I pressed them gently, and they stuck! We kept going: put glue on the edges, hold them tight, wipe off the extra glue with a tissue. When we finished, the vase had thin lines where it was broken, but you could still see the blue birds flying around. “It’s not perfect,” I said. Lily smiled. “But it’s ours. And the cracks? They make it special, like Mrs. Wilson said, broken things can still be beautiful.” I looked at her, and knew — love’s not about being perfect. It’s about making broken things beautiful. That day, I realized that family isn’t about avoiding mistakes — it’s about growing through them. The vase may never be perfect, but our relationship was stronger than ever. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和妹妹莉莉曾亲密无间，16岁时因莉莉打碎家传瓷瓶，作者斥责她，两人关系破裂。一月后学校社区服务，他们被迫搭档去养老院，威尔逊夫人用丈夫留下的裂纹花盆，告诉他们“爱无关完美，要看见破碎事物的美”。作者向莉莉道歉，次日两人一起修复瓷瓶，虽有裂纹却依旧特别，也明白了家人应在过错中成长，关系更坚固。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上，我看到莉莉坐在门廊上，凝视着星空”可知，第一段可描写作者向莉莉道歉，两人和好。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，我们决定一起修复那件破碎的花瓶”可知，第二段可描写次日两人一起修复瓷瓶，虽有裂纹却依旧特别，也明白了家人应在过错中成长，关系更坚固。 2.续写线索：向莉莉道歉——莉莉原谅作者——两人和好——一起修复花瓶——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①闪光：glisten/shine ②完成：finish/complete ③意识到：realize that/be aware that 情绪类 ①害怕的：scared/frightened ②完美：perfect/ideal 【点睛】【高分句型1】Her shoulders shook slightly as she wiped away tears.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】Lily turned to me, her eyes glistening.（运用了独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
