D.The richness of the writing style B Isabella Osbourne's weight loss journey is an inspiring story.For years,she'd struggled with her weight, which often left her feeling limited in her ability to fully enjoy life.She'd openly shared that her weight often left her feeling tired and sleepy,which affected her energy levels and overall mood.This,together with seeing her parents and her son Wolf live healthy lives,inspired her to lose weight.As a mother,she wanted to show Wolf the importance of self-love and taking care of one's body. Isabella's remarkable weight loss in 2025 was driven by her commitment to making sustainable and mindful dietary changes.She included whole foods into her meals,such as fresh fruits,vegetables,lean proteins,and whole grains,and focused on meals rich in fiber and protein,which helped limit her appetite and prevent overeating.She reduced her consumption of processed foods and sugary drinks,opting instead for whole, nutrient-dense options.She also started using smaller plates and bowls to help avoid overeating.Additionally, drinking plenty of water throughout the day and maintaining a consistent sleep schedule supported her overall health. 【高三开学考·英语第3页（共8页）】 X-G Meanwhile,Isabella kept working out regularly.Aside from jogging,running and swimming,Isabella also included strength training into her fitness routine to build lean muscle mass.She focused on exercises like squats,deadlifts,and resistance band workouts to target different muscle groups.Strength training has been shown to increase resting metabolic(rate,meaning that even at rest,the body burns more calories. Additionally,Isabella incorporated stress management techniques into her daily routine.She practiced mindfulness meditation()and deep-breathing exercises to stay calm and focused.These practices not only helped her manage stress but also improved her mental clarity and emotional resilience(). Isabella's jourey taught her the value of balance and consisteney.She learned sustainable weight loss isn't about perfection but about making small,meaningful changes over time.By focusing on both her physical and mental well-being.Isabella was able to create a lifestyle that supported her goals and brought her joy. 24.What is a reason for driving Isabella to lose weight? A.Her son's love. B.Her medical report. C.Her parents'advice. D.Her family's healthy lives 25.What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A.Isabella's lifestyle adjustments. B.A strong support group. C.A well-structured fitness routine. D.The impact of mental health. 26.What can we infer about Isabella's exercise routine? A.It ignored strength workouts. B.It was impossible to follow.

B.The value of gradual changes C.The role of professional training. D.The necessity of extreme diets To know body language better,Christina Stach,a 25-year-old healtheare provider,read What Eerybody Is Saying by Joe Navarro."It changed how I communicated with everyone,"she says.While approximately80% of our interactions with each other are nonverbal-from birth,our body language sends out clues to what we're thinking,and Stach says,"We can learn to exercise control over it." Becoming aware of her own body language,the physician recognized her preferred way of sitting with her arms and legs crossed.While it was comfortable for her,patients considered it discomfort with them.She found the same to be true with eye contact."I don't make much eye contact with people because it makes me uncomfortable,"Stach says,"but it makes others think I'm inattentive." Armed with the knowledge,she began uncrossing her arms and legs and making more eye contact when in conversation."Using positive body language helps strengthen patient interactions,and once these habits become natural,you may notice your patients are more receptive to your advice,"she says. "Talking with patients at eye level is important,"Stach says."It shows them that I'm here to listen to what they have to say and to make joint decisions about their healthcare."She recommends that physicians lower their eye level as much as possible by sitting on a low chair facing their patient while the patient remains seated on the exam table. Eye contact is another important element."If you're typing notes into your computer without looking at your patients-even if you are listening and can say everything they said,your body says you aren't listening," Stach says."And you no longer have a closed space of attention with each other. Anyway,body language can send a message of care and trust."In medicine,we're often in our patient's face during a medical exam,but when talking with them,being too close may be intrusive,especially in Western cultures where we have broader personal body comfortable distance,"Stach notes."But in Eastern cultures that 【高三开学考·英语第4页（共8页）】 X-G distance is much narrower.So,when interacting with people from these cultures,stepping back is seen as offensive(冒犯的)-that's something to keep in mind..” 28.How did Christina Stach get better at using body language? A.By keeping practicing it in her family. B.By communicating with patients C.By learning a lot from professionals. D.By reading a related book. 29.Why did Christina Stach change her sitting posture and eye contact? A.To show her professional skills. B.To feel more personally comfortable. C.To achieve better care results. D.To enhance her specialized knowledge. 30.What is Christina Stach's suggestion for physicians talking with patients? A.Repeating everything the patients said. B.Positioning themselves on lowered seats C.Avoiding frequent eye contact. D.Making decisions for the patients. 31.What does the underlined word "intrusive"in the last paragraph mean? A.Disturbing. B.Comfortable. C.Relaxing. D.Formal D Faced with biodiversity loss worldwide,protected areas are set aside to provide wildlife with a safe space. Conservationists often focus on species counts when measuring success.But are these protected areas doing enough to preserve the entire structure of ecosystems?This question is at the heart of a new study from Swansea University. The relationships between organisms play a key role in ecological balance.That a hawk()hunts smaller birds or a songbird feeding on insects reflects interactions that keep ecosystems working.To figure out if protected areas help keep this ecological balance,the Swansea team examined the structure of food webs.They used data from platforms like eBird,where volunteers record bird sightings.This allowed the experts to track 509 bird species across 45 ecological networks from Spain to Finland. Using this large database,the team combined observational bird records with known predator-prey( links.For example,if a hawk feeds on smaller birds,that relationship was mapped.The team compared food webs inside protected areas to those in surrounding non-protected areas.They also looked at habitat diversity,the percentage of forest and agricultural land,and levels of human pressure. The networks inside protected areas tended to have more species overall.Intermediate-level species were more common.Also,predators inside protected areas tended to be larger in body size,both at the top and middle levels of the food web. However,the length of food chains and the connectivity of species within the web did not show consistent improvement.Generally,areas that were more remote or had higher habitat diversity had healthier food webs. Human pressure and the amount of nearby farmland had a strong influence,too.Interestingly,areas under the European Bird Directives showed stronger positive trends.This suggests clearer conservation planning makes a difference. The research shows relationships between species are equally vital.Protecting one bird species is good. Ensuring that it still plays its ecological role-as predator,prey or pollinator()-is better.Conservation needs to think about networks,not just the number of species saved. 32.Why did the Swansea team examine the structure of food webs? A.To test the species counts in protected areas. B.To prove the position of predators in ecosystems. C.To show the consequence of human pressure on wildlife. D.To understand the effectiveness of conservation efforts. 33.How was the finding of protected areas according to paragraph 4? A.Worrying. B.Encouraging. C.Unsatisfactory. D.Regretful. 【高三开学考·英语第5页（共8页）】 X-G 34.What caused the food web differences? A.The local culture. B.Financial support. C.The environmental factor. D.People's safety awareness. 35.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.The Importance of Species Relationships in Ecosystems B.The Purpose of Species Counts in Ecological Balance C.The Direction of Protected Areas in Conservation D.The Future of Global Biodiversity 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 One of the most significant developments throughout history is the speed of information sharing.Never has it been so easy to learn about what's happening in the world,and while sending it to our circles of friends and family who'll share it with their circles of friends and family,in less than five minutes,we've all read the same article,viewed the same post or watched the same video. 36 However,I find there's a bad side to every good thing.Due to the amount of information that's shared,sometimes, negative news outweighs positive ones.37 Consequently,the moment you open your phone,you're met with news about conflict,disease or economic instability.Unavoidably,this will affect the way your brain processes information and ultimately your mental health. You may feel more worried when a friend says to you,"There's nothing wrong with my life.38" Possibly it's because most of the conversations around you and the content you're consuming center around what someone is doing wrong,or what you shouldn't be doing with your life.It's impossible to feel good about yourself when you're constantly reminded of what's going wrong. How lucky I am that I can choose to simply put my phone away when I don't want to be reminded about a disease happening in a community!39 It's always essential to find the balance between staying informed and not letting the overconsumption of information affect our mental health. 40 If this information is mostly negative,we'll suffer because of it.So make sure that you stay informed from proper news sources,but it's also okay to choose to put your phone away and watch a comedy show instead. A.We live such fast-paced lives,with our brains constantly receiving information B.Everyone is angry and scared and they're sharing these emotions online. C.We must take care of ourselves to the extent that we can. D.It's with a certain sense of shame that I share this E.However,I don't know why I feel anxious. F.Personally,I find this to be remarkable. G.It must be dealt with in time. 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。 Maya Rodriguez,a shy girl,had always been more comfortable with paintbrushes than people.Her art teacher, Ms.Reyes,recognized something 41 in Maya's ability to describe not just faces,but souls."You don't just draw people,"she told Maya once,"you 42 their inner landscape.'
