He studied tirelessly, pouring over medical books late into the night, just as he had once hidden behind that chest of drawers, observing the doctor’s every move. Eventually, he graduated with honors and became a respected physician in his hometown. His gentle demeanor and unwavering dedication reminded many of the doctor who had saved his brother years ago. Edward’s dream was coming true, but he realized treating illnesses alone wasn’t enough. He noticed how anxiety and lack of medical knowledge often worsened his patients’ suffering. So, he began organizing free health workshops, teaching families preventive care and simple medical measures to treat some illnesses. His childhood memory of his parents’ despair fueled his mission—to heal not just bodies, but also hearts. And when anxious faces lit up with understanding, Edward knew he had found his true calling: to be both a healer and a teacher, just as that long-ago doctor had been for him. 读后续写范文(二） Years passed by, but Edward never forgot that night or his dream. Determined to become a doctor, he devoted himself to his studies, excelling in science and medicine. Despite the challenges of long hours and limited resources, Edward’s resolve never wavered. His family, though poor, supported him wholeheartedly, remembering how the doctor’s words had once brought them hope. After years of relentless effort, Edward finally graduated from medical school. His first act as a doctor was to return to his hometown, where he opened a small clinic, expecting to serve those in need just as the doctor had done for his brother. Edward 's dream was coming true, but he remained unsatisfied. He realized that treating illnesses alone wasn’t enough—he wanted to prevent suffering altogether. Inspired by his childhood experience, he began researching infectious diseases, particularly measles, aiming to find a way to protect children from such hardships. His work eventually contributed to advancements in vaccines, saving countless lives. Though fame and opportunities arose, Edward chose to stay in his community, where he continued to heal, teach, and inspire. To him, the greatest reward was seeing the same relief on his patients’ faces that he had once seen on his parents’. 听力材料 Text 1 W: Hi, Steve. Did you check the weather for this week? M: Hi, Molly. Yes, I did. It will be fine tomorrow. But it looks like there will be heavy rain and strong wind this weekend. Text 2 M: Smile for the camera! This is an exciting day. It’s your sixteenth birthday! W: I don’t want to smile! I had a bad day at school, and getting my photo taken is the last thing I need. M: Oh, come on. I have a surprise for you later! Text 3 M: This bread is a little hard. Is this old bread or something? W: No, I bought it fresh, but it was in the fridge for two days. I just took it out a few minutes ago. You need to put it in the oven. Text 4 W: Can you help me with this essay? I’m trying to write my conclusion, but I’m not really sure how to go about it. M: Sure. You should give a summary of the main points of your essay, but also try to leave your reader with an interesting thought or idea. Text 5 M: Maria, look! What is that? It looks like a dead animal. I’m afraid to go near it. W: Oh, George, that’s just a plastic bag! Look, you can tell what it is when it blows in the wind. M: I think I’ve been watching too much Discovery Channel. Text 6 M: I’m calling about plane tickets to London. I understand you are offering a special discount right now. W: That’s correct. Right now, we are offering business class tickets at 20% off our regular rates. The condition is that you must spend at least five days in London, and you must leave on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. M: I see. That’s not really going to be convenient for me. I can’t leave until Friday afternoon at the earliest. And I have to fly back right after a meeting there on Monday morning. W: That is bad news for two reasons. First, the special discount is not in effect at that time, and there are no seats available on our Friday flight. M: That’s a real pity. But I have to fly to London, anyway. I’ll just go check online. Text 7 M: Jessica, will you be attending the goodbye party for Yolanda? It’s scheduled to begin at 7:00 across the street at the Italian restaurant. W: I’ll be there eventually, but probably not until late. I’m waiting for a call from our Australian office, and that means I’ll have to be here until at least 9:00. 2M: But Yolanda won’t be staying too late because she needs to catch an early flight tomorrow morning. This will be your last chance to see her before she moves away to start her new job in Paris. Can’t you have your assistant wait for the call? You could have dinner and then go back when the call comes in. W: Hey, that’s a great idea. OK! Count me in! Text 8 M: Bonnie, I’m super nervous right now. W: Why? What’s up? I thought you were flying down to Los Angeles today. Are you afraid of flying or something, Trevor? M: No, I fly all the time. It’s just that I’m doing my biggest interview of my entire career tomorrow, and I don’t want to mess it up. W: Come on, you’ve been at the magazine for more than a year. Your editor wouldn’t send you down there unless he had confidence in your abilities. Who is the interview with? M: Quentin Tarantino. W: Uh… what? Quentin Tarantino? The director? Are you serious? M: Yeah! W: Oh, my God! I can’t believe this! Pulp Fiction is my favorite movie of all time, and Kill Bill might be number two. And even my parents liked Jackie Brown. He’s, like, an A-list director! He might be the best director of the last twenty years. M: Did you see now why I’m nervous? W: Yes, I’d be scared out of my mind if I were you. But this will be good for your career. Hey, there is something that I still don’t understand. M: What? W: Why on earth did Quentin Tarantino agree to accept an interview with your magazine? M: What’s that supposed to mean? W: Um… never mind. Good luck down there! Get a good night’s sleep tonight because Saturday will be the biggest day of your life! Text 9 M: We’re so happy to have you here on the show with us today! So, what was it like filming a movie in Iceland? W: Very cold! I had never been to Iceland before, so I didn’t really know what to expect. There aren’t a lot of people in the country. We were filming in this small fishing village, so it wasn’t uncommon to go days without seeing anyone. The villagers mainly kept to themselves. M: I think everyone in the audience is dying to know if you hung out with Johnny Depp. W: Yes, of course. He was staying at the house, too. M: Well, what is he like? W: He’s very nice. He also told some really great jokes. He spent a lot of time being wrapped up in blankets when we were on set. It snowed quite a bit for the first few days. Text 10 M: Good morning. I’m Bill Smith from Riverside Travel Agency. I am so happy to be with you on Leeds City Radio. Today, I’m going to talk about the biggest island, the so-called “last white spot” on Earth: Greenland. Our agency runs two tours per season to Greenland. Each tour lasts eight days, and we offer an extraordinary experience in this magical land. To begin with, the 3beautiful Arctic scenery is almost endless, and with a total population of only 55,000, you are truly on your own as soon as you leave one of the small towns and settlements. Humans are the exception in this place. The mountains, valleys, rivers, and huge ice caps are practically untouched. However, what attracts tourists most must be the whale watching. Greenland’s whale watching can be enjoyed from the streets or even from your hotel room. If you sail along the coast on a passenger ship, the captain will often announce when whales are close. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 银川一中2026届高三年级第一次月考 英 语 试 卷 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题的答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷及草稿纸上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 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。并标在试卷相应的位置。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.

That is the objective of the Earthshot Prize. The global award for environmental innovation was launched in 2020 in the United Kingdom by Prince William and British historian and biologist David Attenborough. The objective of the nonprofit organization, according to its website, is to find companies “that are working to repair and regenerate our planet.” The name of the prize is inspired by President John F. Kennedy’s “Moonshot” challenge in 1961. This year’s winners were announced in five categories: ★“Protect and Restore Nature.” Accion Andina, a community group in South America, was recognized for their efforts to protect diverse ecosystems high in the Andes Mountain Range. ★“Clean Our Air.” A Chinese company named GRST won for recycling lithium (锂) batteries. ★“Revive Our Oceans.” WildAid Marine Program, a global nonprofit organization, was spotlighted for its efforts to prevent illegal fishing. ★“Build a Waste-Free World.” S4S Technologies, a company in India, was praised for making solar-powered dryers and other equipment to deal with food waste and allow farmers to preserve their crops. ★“Fix Our Climate.” A global initiative called Boomitra won for providing innovative rewards to farmers to restore land. To date, Earthshot has named 15 winners. But there is more work to be done. The organization’s goal is that, by 2030, “for the first time in human history, the natural world will be growing on our planet.” 21.What do we know about the Earthshot Prize? A. It was started in the UK in 1961. B. It has awarded twenty winners in total. C. Its name was given by John F. Kennedy. D. Its goal is to restore and renew our planet. 22. In which category did GRST win the Earthshot Prize? A. “Clean Our Air.” B. “Protect and Restore Nature.” C. “Revive Our Oceans.” D. “Build a Waste-Free World.” 23.What do S4S Technologies and Boomitra have in common? A. They are based in China. B. They contribute to supporting farmers. C. They make solar-powered dryers. D. They focus on protecting diverse ecosystems. B People have different reading habits. Some focus on dialogues in a text, while others skip long paragraphs or read only the first and last sentences. A few read every word carefully and even revisit sections to avoid missing details. The digital age has significantly changed how we read. With endless online information, studies show people now spend more time skimming—quickly searching for main ideas—rather than practicing close reading, which requires deep focus. But is there a single “correct” way to read? Experts explain that skimming works well for reading for fun or when short on time. For example, skimming a familiar story helps finish it faster while still understanding the plot. Your experience with similar texts can make skimming more efficient. On the other hand, close reading involves connecting the text to your existing knowledge, asking questions, and analyzing details. Research shows this method activates more brain areas than skimming. However, getting a deep understanding also doesn’t mean reading each word in order as the term “close reading” might suggest. In fact, it might be totally nonlinear and involve rereading words or some sections of the text. Since close reading is thought to require more focused attention and is typically more time-intensive, maintaining such concentration can be challenging; therefore, experts suggest finding a quiet space free from distractions. Some studies claim screen reading encourages skimming and weakens our ability to concentrate on long texts. This idea remains debated. One psychologist argues that shorter attention spans (持续时间) may not come from weaker brains, but from the Internet’s endless distractions. He adds that people feel pressured to consume information quickly due to its overwhelming amount. The good news is that close reading skills can improve with practice. Ultimately, every reader is unique. Goals, interests, and skills vary, making the use of multiple strategies natural. Experts emphasize that skimming and close reading aren’t opposing methods. While skimming helps manage large amounts of information, close reading builds deeper understanding. Balancing both is essential in today’s digital world. 24. Why do people spend more time skimming in the digital age according to the text? A. Close reading skills have become outdated. B. Online information is too vast to read in detail. C. Digital devices weaken their concentration abilities. D. They prefer reading for entertainment rather than learning. 25. What does the underlined word “nonlinear” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Reading from start to finish without stopping. B. Using digital tools to assist comprehension. C. Jumping between parts of the text flexibly. D. Focusing only on highlighted key words. 26. What does the psychologist believe causes shorter attention spans? A. Weaker thinking abilities of modern humans. B. The brain’s inability to process digital content. C. Pressure to read quickly due to limited time. D. Constant distractions from online entertainment. 27. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To criticize the negative effects of digital reading. B. To compare traditional and modern reading methods. C. To explain different reading strategies and their uses. D. To encourage people to abandon skimming completely. C Researchers at MIT（麻省理工学院）have developed a new prosthetic（假肢的）leg that can be controlled by brain signals, an achievement that could greatly enhance the experience of walking for people with leg disabilities. According to a new study published in the journal Nature Medicine, the researchers found that their “neuroprosthetics” increased walking speed by 41 percent compared to a control group who received traditional prostheses, enabling equal peak speeds to persons without leg amputation（截肢）.“Better yet, such a device could adapt in real-time to a variety of environments such as slopes, stairs and uneven pathways”, the researchers argued. “This is the first prosthetic study in history that shows a leg prosthesis controlled fully by the brain. It creates a natural walking movement,” said the author Hugh Herr, who has lost both legs himself. “No one has been able to show this level of brain control. The human’s nervous system is controlling the movement, not a robotic control algorithm（算法）.” The study examined seven patients who underwent special surgery, which allows them to accurately sense the position, speed, and turning force of their legs. “Because of the interface (接口) of this special surgery, we were able to boost the neural signaling, preserving as much as we could,” said lead author Hyungcun Song. “This helped people continuously and directly control their walking position in different situations such as stairs and slopes, and they could even go over barriers.” Better yet, “not only will they be able to walk on a flat surface, but they’ll be able to go hiking or dancing because they’ll have full control movement,” Herr told us. “This work represents yet another demonstrating what is possible in terms of function in patients who suffer from severe leg injury,” Harvard Medical School associate professor Carty added. 28. What can we know about the new legs developed by MIT researchers? A. It is designed for the use on flat surfaces. B. It operates with a robotic control algorithm. C. It can be brain-controlled and improve walking speed. D. It has a lower cost compared to the traditional prostheses. 29. What’s Hugh Herr’s attitude towards this new prosthetic leg? A. Skeptical. B. Indifferent. C. Supportive. D. Ambiguous. 30. Which aspect of the special surgery is mentioned in paragraph 5? A. Its working principle. B. Its positive effects. C. Its application limit. D. Its testing history. 31. What would be the best title for this text? A. MIT’s Breakthrough in Prosthetic Leg B. Surgical Techniques for the Disabled C. Traditional Prosthetics vs. Modern Ones D. The Challenges of Leg-Injured Patients. D A Japanese candy company has been making national news headlines for its idea to produce gummy candy that tastes like an “imaginary fruit” called Kiraspika. Last year was a great one for gummy candy producers, and the market continued to expand throughout this year, with fruit-flavored gummies being the most popular. While there are plenty of fruit flavors to choose from, including interesting fruit combinations, companies are still limited to the fruits available in our world. But what if someone broke down barriers and started making candy that tastes like imaginary fruits? That was the genius idea that Japanese sweets maker Kauro recently came up with. Last month, the company launched a new type of gummy candy that tastes like “Kiraspika no Mi”, a made-up fruit with an original flavor, design, and even an origin story. According to the Kauro official website, the star-shaped Kiraspika only grows in the mountainous region of Blue Knife, where temperatures drop to -50 degrees Celsius in winter. It is very difficult to obtain, as when the fruit ripens, on a full-moon night around the winter solstice (冬至), the fruit explodes as a mechanism to spread its seeds. Pieces of the fruit fly at a speed of 300 meters per second, and a direct hit can be fatal(致命的). Everything about Kiraspika was invented in Kauro’s fruit lab where its flavor experts combined various existing flavors to create an entirely original one that tastes like nothing you’ve ever eaten. According to its designers, the Kiraspika-flavored gummy candy has a mysterious sweetness combined with a sliced sourness, but many of those who have tried it have their own description of the taste. To some, the Kiraspika flavor can be compared to that of an energy drink, while others say it tastes a bit like a spicy apple, while some compare its sweetness to the cherry gummies, combined with a tongue-numbing spices. It is the mystery of the flavor and the personal interpretations that make Kauro’s product popular. Having been launched last month in the Eleven convenience store chain, Kiraspika gummies have been selling like hotcakes, and the Japanese company is already working on new creations in the Fantasy Fruit Lab. 32. Why did Kauro put Kiraspika-flavored gummy candy on the market? A. To break the limit of fruit flavors. B. To cope with the declining market. C. To make news headlines nationally. D. To make candy taste like Kiraspika. 33. What can we learn about Kiraspika in paragraph 4? A. Its explosion can be fatal. B. It explodes whenever it is ripe. C. It grows in cold mountainous regions. D. It tastes sweet with a sliced sourness. 34. What makes Kiraspika-flavored gummy candy popular? A. It combines various existing flavors. B. It is made of a fruit that is hard to obtain. C. Its delicious flavors can satisfy different people. D. Different people have different flavor interpretations. 35. What is the main idea of the text? A. Fruit-flavored gummies are increasingly popular in Japan. B. Kiraspika is found and made into gummy candy in Japan. C. Kauro’s gummy candies are selling out in Japanese market. D. Japanese gummy candy tastes like a fruit which doesn’t exist. 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。 Street art, usually referred to as “public art”, is defined as art on outer surfaces done with permission by the community. 36 .

Dancing took hours away from her research, and yet Rodriguez, who’s now a neurobiologist at the University of Alabama, quickly 45 that it was making her a better researcher. “The time I did spend in the lab was so much more 46 ; I could feel myself thinking 47 and remembering things better.” Her experience confirmed an increasing number of research findings about the 48 of the brain: Molecules(分子) produced by muscles in 49 can improve the structure and condition of the brain. Scientists used to think that the brain 50 the body, while the body worked passively by sending signals of 51 back to the brain, which was always in charge like a ruler. However, research in the last few years has 52 that belief. More studies have suggested that exercise has significant effects on the brain, including 53 the brain’s capacity to regenerate neurons (神经元) and improving neuron-to-neuron communication. “The emerging data really show that the brain is not this one-way organ that dominates the 54 of the body,” says muscle researcher Christoph Handschin. “ 55 , there’s a complex interaction between these systems.” 41.

Big Brother had the measles, as did two younger brothers and two sisters. Then one night, William, the oldest boy, became increasingly feverish as the hours passed. “We’d better call the doctor,” said Mother. “I think so too,” said Father. “Better hurry,” urged Mother. There was no telephone in the house in those long-ago days. So Father sent a messenger with a team of horses to get the doctor. The night wore on, but no one slept. Everyone was too worried about William. Edward worried most of all because he loved his big brother dearly. He wanted to go in and talk to William, but he wasn’t allowed in the room. He had never seen his parents so sad before. They looked so tired, so anxious, so much older. Finally, they heard the team of horses was returning. Was the doctor with them? Yes. Quickly, Mother and Father led the doctor to William’s bedroom. Meanwhile Edward, longing to see what was happening, had slipped into the room unnoticed and hid behind the big, old-fashioned chest of drawers. From this safe hiding place, he was able to see all that went on. Gently and carefully the doctor examined William. Then, pouring out some medicine that was to be given to him later, he turned to Mother and Father and said, “Don’t worry. He’s going to get well.” Instantly, the two tired, anxious faces lit up with joy and hope, like the sun breaking through clouds after a thunderstorm. Never had Edward seen his parents so happy, so relieved. As he observed them, he knew what he wanted to do with his life. Like most boys, Edward had wondered what he would be when he grew up. A farmer, perhaps, like his dad, or maybe a cowboy, a train engineer, or a gold prospector(勘探者). But now he knew. He would be a doctor. He wanted to help those who were worried and in pain, and bring light to people’s faces! 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Years passed by, but Edward never forgot that night or his dream.
