Hours later, I completed my first short story. Since then, I’ve written many stories, short and long. But also, since then, I’ve read more and noticed just how well people my age could write. Since then, I also felt less and less willing to share my work:what if my writing isn’t as good as everybody else's? What started off as something creative that I could share with friends turned into competition changed by feelings of competence. Oftentimes, hobbies begin as something just for fun. But eventually, what was once fun now contributes to feelings of stress and inadequacy. I have plenty of memories of thinking I was going to pick up something new and stick with it, whether it be playing the piano, or drawing. But there is always a part of me that expects myself to just magically be good at all of those things. And when I’m not, the enjoyment tapers off as, slowly, I think mediocrity(平庸) isn’t acceptable anymore. Writing is the only hobby that I have repeatedly come back to despite dropping it constantly. I can see the growth in my writing all these years, but the expectations to be better and better is never satisfied. This is why I drop writing for months at a time. This feeling of a hobby becoming, for a lack of better word, a chore, lowers the satisfaction of said hobby. But hobbies are there to give you a breath of fresh air from having to excel at everything, from academics to your occupation. We must accept that it is okay to just suck at an activity but still doing it because it brings you joy. There is a balance between joy and expectations, either set by others or by ourselves. 4. What does the author do in the first paragraph? A. He challenges a tradition. B. He relates an experience. C. He envisions a coming trend. D. He compares varied hobbies. 5. Which can best replace the underlined phrase “tapers off” in paragraph 1? A. Thins out. B. Tops out. C. builds up. D. Spreads around. 6. Why does the author drop writing constantly? A. He is inadequate for it. B. He prefers mediocrity. C. He equates joy with achievement. D. He receives bitter comment. 7. What message does the passage convey? A. Mediocrity is the key to enjoyment. B. A hobby shared is a hobby squared. C. Excellence ensures academic success. D. Enjoyment outweighs excellence in hobbies. The future of human flight arrived quietly, at a time when no one was clocking up air miles. It was June 2020 and the skies were unusually empty, but down on the ground, something huge was happening with a small aircraft. The European Union Aviation (航空) Safety Agency(EASA), certified a two-seat plane made in Slovenia as safe to fly. Within a few years, the plane called Pipistrel Velis Electro was certified in the UK, the US and elsewhere. “The achievement represents a growing interest and trust in the reliability of electric planes,” says Dr Tine Tomazic, director of engineering and programs at the company Pipistrel. “We recently completed production of our 100th Velis Electro, marking a significant milestone for Pipistrel and the industry.” “The aviation industry is improving its carbon emissions (排放) by nearly 2% per passenger mile per year,” says Dr Guy Gratton, associate professor of aviation at Granfield University in the UK. However, the global demand for air transport is estimated to double by 2040, which means that while other industries are showing meaningful signs of decarbonizing, aviation is on track to increase its total emissions. “So, we need to prevent aviation becoming a majority polluter,” Gratton says. “Now, how can we do that?” The Velis Electro is leading the way, but the first electric planes aren’t designed to replace large passenger aircraft. Instead, these pioneer aircraft are designed specifically for flight training, offering just 50 minutes of flight time with 20 minutes reserve and a range of 185 kilometers. It’s powered by a 58kW electric motor with two lightweight lithium batteries. Traditional batteries are either too heavy or too hot to be practical for an aircraft. Pipistrel’s system, however, makes the whole powertrain safe, light and efficient. The battery weighs 70 kg and the whole aircraft weighs just 425 kg when empty. Pilots don’t need an additional license to fly Velis Electro, but they’ll notice differences. “The aircraft delivers power without hesitation,” Tomazic explains. “It uses a simplified user interface in a cockpit (驾驶舱) that maintains the same look and feel of its conventionally-powered planes. The cockpit is also much quieter than with conventional aircraft.” 8. What does the underlined part “something huge” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. The small plane got very popular. B. The small plane was being produced. C. The small plane had improved greatly. D. The small plane received official approval. 9. Why is Dr Guy Gratton mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To show the significance of Velis Electro. B. To tell the development of Velis Electro. C. To prove the growing demand for air travel. D. To stress the aviation’s contribution to environment. 10. What do we know about the design of Velis Electro? A. It involves huge batteries. B. It aims to drive large aircraft. C. It is based on global cooperation. D. It is intended for short flights. 11 How does the author mainly describe the advantages of Pipistrel’s batteries? A. By giving examples. B. By making comparisons. C. By presenting detailed figures. D. By showing scientific analyses. It’s a problem that has annoyed many horror movie makeup artists: How do you give someone the appearance of having a second head? Seemingly to fake out hunters, many butterflies have found their own solutions to this problem, with complicated patterns and structures on their wings that create what look like second heads on their backsides. Now, in a new study, researchers at the Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISER) dive deeper into the origins of these “false heads”. Previous studies have shown these false heads help confuse hunters: Damage to the back end of a butterfly’s wings near the false head has less impact on vital behaviors such as flying and mating than damage to the butterfly’s real head. Scientists had long theorized that butterflies’ false heads arose because five key traits (特征) — namely false feelers, noticeable coloration, wing patterns that contain special lines, large spots, and head like shapes — evolve (进化) together to redirect predator attention. But no one had traced the evolutionary history of these traits. Evolutionary ecologists at IISER began by analyzing images of nearly 1,000 species of butterflies and marking how many of the false head traits each species exhibited. The researchers then constructed a phylogenetic tree (系统树), which allowed them to visualize how closely related false-headed species were to one another, as well as how each of the traits evolved over time. Computational modeling of this tree revealed that four of the five false head traits all evolved in a correlated manner, while also showing the order in which the traits first appeared within butterflies. The researchers propose that the separate traits integrated into a single, complex false head trait because of a common selective force: attacks from hunters. However, questions remain on the exact advantages that these distinctive defense mechanisms provide to the butterflies that use them. 12. Why is “makeup artist” mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To support a scientific theory. B. To illustrate a filming technique. C. To introduce an evolutionary trick. D. To justify a long-held assumption. 13. What might previous studies focus on? A. The development of the five traits. B. The special behaviors of butterflies. C. The defensive function of false heads. D. The evolution theories of butterflies. 14. What did IISER scientists do in the new study? A. They classified wing patterns of butterflies. B. They reconstructed history of trait evolution. C. They innovated methods of studying butterflies. D. They analyzed the survival benefits of false heads. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. To survive? False a Second Head B. Confused? Phylogenetic Tree Helps C. Do Key traits Enhance Insects’ Survival? D. Does Evolution Reshape Butterflies’ Bodies? 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从七个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。 Children love playing outdoors, They usually get muddy, with no regard for the colour of their clothing. “Don’t get dirty!” was once a constant family warning, as parents watched their children ruin their best clothes.

She had a quarrel (争吵) with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping （哭泣) sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding (责备) from her mother. Having wandered (闲逛） aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not even possible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand (摊位) for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave. The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?” “Oh, yes… but I don’t have money on me” she replied. “That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,”said the man, “come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently. “What is it?” asked the man kindly. “Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears, “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother, drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless (无情的) compared to a stranger!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?” Jenny sat there, speechless and numb (呆滞的）with shock; she remembered mother’s familiar face and weathered (饱经风霜的) hands. “Why did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted (感激的；蒙恩的), but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.” On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home. 注意：1.写作词数应为100左右；2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph1: Approaching the doorway Jenny took a deep breath. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2:  A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 南阳一中2025年春期高三年级开学考试 英语试题 第一部分 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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 【1~3题答案】 【答案】1.

Opinions concerned are divided. Some students approve of it. Their reasons are as follows. Short videos, rich in various contents, can convey a large amount of information readily, which broadens our horizons. Besides, they serve as excellent stress relievers after a long day of study, allowing us to relax. However, just as every coin has two sides, others hold the opposite view, arguing that watching short videos is a waste of time, especially for those with poor self-control. Once addicted, students will find it extremely tough to focus on study, thus negatively affecting their academic performance. As far as I’m concerned, I hold the view that short videos themselves are harmless in that the key lies in self-discipline. As long as we can control the time spent and prevent them from distracting us, watching short videos can be a beneficial form of entertainment. 第二节（满分25分） 【62题答案】 【答案】 Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. She could hear her own heart beating loudly in her ears. Her hand trembled slightly as she reached for the doorknob. As she entered, she saw her mother sitting in the dimly lit living room. Jenny walked slowly towards her, her steps heavy with guilt. “Mom,” she said softly, “I’m back. I’m so sorry for what I did. I was so blind and ungrateful. You’ve given me so much love and care all these years, and I repaid you with rudeness.” A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. Jenny looked into her mother’s eyes, which were filled with a mixture of relief and love. Her mother cupped her face in her hands and said, “My dear, I was so worried about you. I’m just glad you’re safe.” They hugged each other tightly. Jenny realized that this was the place where she truly belonged, and that her mother’s love was an unbreakable bond. From then on, she made it a point to be more patient and understanding with her mother, knowing that every moment spent with her was a precious gift. Because in the end, it was the love of family that could heal all wounds and make one whole again. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
