B 14-year-old Jessica was born with small eyes, making it difficult for her to see the markings and numbers on traditional maths sets at school. Disappointed that standard equipment just didn’t add up, Jessica’s mum, Sam, emailed stationery (文具) giant Maped Helix, more in hope than expectation that they might have something that could help. She was so surprised when she got a reply saying that the team at Helix, inspired by Jessica’s story, had decided to develop a unique stationery set specifically to support the needs of children with sight difficulties. The groundbreaking Oxford Vision Maths Set includes a self-centering metal compass with safety point, a pencil sharpener, 15 cm/6-inch ruler, 45° and 60° set squares, etc. Designed in cooperation with the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB), the maths set has been created using a high contrasting black and yellow design to make each item easier to read. The complete set is sold in plastic-free packaging made from recycled materials. Following guidance from the experts, clever details such as large print graduations (刻度线) on the ruler, as well as all the text being raised by 0.5 mm have been included. “We receive a lot of emails, but this particular one really struck a chord with us, making us really think of how we can have a commitment to empower all children,” said Gray Richmond, Managing Director at Maped Helix. “This product will make a huge difference to the lives of children with vision conditions, allowing them to have independence in the classroom and giving them access to the same opportunities as their sighted classmates,” said Nicola Cornwell, Head of Business Services at RNIB. 24. What difficulty does Jessica face at school? A. She cannot understand numbers. B. She fails in her maths examinations. C. She finds it hard to hear in the classroom. D. She struggles to use traditional stationery. 25. What do we know about the new maths set? A. It is only available in one color. B. It is designed under the guidance of RNIB. C. It has complex designs and decorations. D. It uses plastic packaging to protect the items. 26. What do the underlined words “struck a chord with” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Touched. B. Satisfied. C. Comforted. D. Entertained. 27. Why did Helix decide to develop the Oxford Vision Maths Set? A. To make maths sets more affordable. B. To respond to a customer’s complaint. C. To support children with visual challenges. D. To create a simplified version of maths tools. C Conflict in communities is usually about the task or the person. Of course, sometimes it’s hard to separate one from the other. Task conflict happens when people have different ideas of what needs to be done. It points to potential differences in opinion about everything you can imagine that is essential for a group: mission, priorities of tasks, compensation mechanism (机制), decision-making mechanisms, etc. Task conflict is not a problem when people realize the source of the conflict is the task and not the people. Community members must resolve tension inclusively with everyone’s voice being heard and acknowledged. However, this does not mean that the solution must include everyone’s opinion. After the conversation, everyone should feel that they had a fair chance to express their opinion and that it was taken seriously by others and not brushed aside. Conflict between people is tricky because it’s attacking a person’s essence and self-worth. Often this form of conflict, relationship conflict, happens when two conditions are met: First, people have different values or are holding different assumptions, and secondly, neither party can see beyond their own biases. With relationship conflict, the person is perceived to be the problem and is being attacked by others. Each party assumes that most people are on their side and that the other person is acting out of self-interest. This eventually leads to people disagreeing with each other, not for the task’s sake but to prove the other person is wrong. Sometimes conflict originates in a task. People might prefer different tools or different approaches. If this initial controversy is ignored or not dealt with appropriately, the relatively easy task conflict turns into a more complex relationship conflict. When relationship conflict occurs, a lot of things are reactive rather than reflective. People stop thinking and act impulsively (冲动地). All in all, remember that every culture has its own way of handling conflict. Some people consider it dishonest if an argument is not addressed openly, while in other cultures, such a discussion will not be acceptable. It comes down to “Don’t assume everyone thinks like you”. 28. What does the underlined phrase “brushed aside” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Approved. B. Ignored. C. Swept. D. Denied. 29. Which of the following is a relationship conflict? A. Eric has a quarrel with his girlfriend in shopping mall. B. Group members are debating which approaches to be used. C. Tom is criticized by his best friend for being irresponsible. D. Two neighbors have a big argument over community health issues. 30. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph? A. Relationship conflict originates from task conflict. B. Task conflict is easier to resolve than relationship conflict. C. Conflict in communities causes people to make impulsive decisions. D. Task conflict can be sometimes transformed into relationship conflict. 31. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. Give a warning. B. Offer a suggestion. C. Make an assumption. D. List a misconception. D Nature vs. Nurture Curiosity has always been one of the most innate and prevailing qualities of humankind. Our endless pursuit of truth and reason has resulted in a lot of crucial discoveries in the world. However, the more we uncover the world, the more we end up generating more questions to answer. Out of all the wonders of the world, human psychology is deemed to be one of the most controversial. The complexity of the mind and its reflection on human behavior has been a subject of many studies and debates. One of the oldest and, still, most talked about argument in psychology is the nature against nurture debate. Nature refers to the biological structure and processes that determine a person’s physical and behavioral attributes. Due to the advancement of genetics, scientists have uncovered that physical traits such as eye color, hair type, height, and life expectancy of a person can strongly be related to the genetic makeup. These discoveries have led to the speculation that most psychological characteristics like intellect, personality, and language acquisition ability are already pre-wired to our system through our genetic pattern. In contrast, nurture theory suggests that behavior is shaped from socio-cultural factors. This theory is guided by John Locke’s “blank slate” theory, which refers to the idea that the human mind, in its primal state, is a blank slate that is gradually filled in with information derived from direct and indirect experiences. This theory states people’s characteristics and behavioral diversity are results of social and cultural influences encountered during their development. The term Nature vs. Nurture debate was put forward by Sir Francis Galton, who believed that intellect is a quantifiable and hereditary (遗传的) human trait. He also believed that intellect can be passed from generation to generation. Thus, people with high intelligence have a major chance of having highly intellectual offspring, while people having lower than average intellect are more likely to have low intellectual offspring. However, the believers of nurture theory believed that intellectual ability is the result of inequalities in access to resources and opportunities. Thus, intellect is not a product of heredity but more of a result of the social construct. Countless research and experimentation have been conducted to put an end to the seemingly endless debate. Psychologists and researchers of the present already embrace the idea that a person’s character is highly influenced by his genetic makeup and the environment. The years of labored research on nature and nurture theory finally have borne fruit. Technology and research have expanded a better understanding of the human personality and mind, and will just continuously do as time passes by. 32. Why does the author mention “curiosity” in the first paragraph? A. To predict the research results. B. To emphasize the importance of exploring. C. To lead to the argument of nature against nurture. D. To raise the reader’s interest in the theory of nature. 33. What does John Locke’s “blank slate” theory suggest? A. Human mind is always blank. B. People’s behaviors are learned. C. Behavior is determined genetically. D. Culture has little influence on human. 34. What is the attitude of Sir Francis Galton towards the theory of nurture? A. Disapproving. B. Supportive. C. Neutral. D. Cautious. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A robot is chatting to an elderly British man in his bedroom. ____35____ . Perhaps because of the man’s age, the robot starts asking him about his memories of the Second World War. The elderly man goes on to tell how his father was in the army, and he hasn’t seen him for years. ____36____. The behavior is the product of the Caresses project which aims to design robots that can take into account the cultural background of the person they’re talking to. The man is British, so the robot thinks he will be interested in such a topic, regardless of the man’s personal feelings. Cultural robotics is part of a wider movement to make robotics more culturally inclusive. ____37____ For example, because the Internet is mainly in English, large language models are primarily trained on English text — with the cultural biases (偏见) existing. Similarly, the move to make robots more culturally sensitive means well, but people are worried about where it could lead, considering the diverse cultural preferences across different social groups. Humans from different cultures react differently to robots. For example, different cultures have different expectations around personal space, and this affects how far they prefer robots to stand from them. ____38____ People are more able to understand a robot if it uses the facial expressions they are familiar with. Culture is a complex concept open to various explanations. ____39____ . To avoid designing robots based on stereotypes (刻板印象), we will need to be more thoughtful. A. It has a pleasantly bright voice. B. Does this topic really hold a person’s interest C. However, concerns about this have been raised. D This practice is widely recognized across cultures. E. Therefore, a one-size-fits-all approach is impractical. F. Why does a robot mention a topic that may cause pain? G. Different cultures interpret facial expressions differently too. 第三部分：书面表达(共三节，32分) 第一节 阅读表达(共4小题;第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题纸指定区域作答。 If you feel like you may be a people-pleaser, you’re not alone. In today’s highly-connected world, we have a growing obsession (痴迷) with being liked and needing to please others. People seek to please others for various reasons, including avoiding conflicts, securing feelings of being needed, and reducing fears of abandonment. And they are forced to use agreeableness as self-defense. People-pleasing behavior can lead to mental and physical health problems such as fear of rejection, frustration, anger, addictions, headaches, stomach problems, and high blood pressure. It can also result in weak boundaries, problems with decision-making and dependency. Therefore, it’s important to recognize and overcome your own people-pleasing behaviors. Here are some simple exercises that you can start working on today. Learn to love your own company. Trust that people will not abandon you, even if you don’t drop everything for them. Believing you are lovable for who you are, not what you do, means knowing that people will still be there for you even if you do not always search for ways to please them. Practice this by going to a movie or restaurant alone. Value the plans made with yourself. They are as important as plans you make with other people. Otherwise, you are sending a message to your brain that a plan you make with yourself does not hold as much value. Don’t break long-or short-term plans you make with yourself, whether it’s going to the gym or studying for an exam. Say “no” when necessary. If you’re a people-pleaser, you may find it hard to say “no” because you feel it comes across as cruel or uncaring. But it absolutely does not have to. Be clear, be direct, and use “I” statements. Try statements like: “I would really love to be able to help you, but unfortunately, I’m already committed at that time.” By consistently integrating these strategies into your life, you’ll break your people-pleasing habits and develop more healthy, interdependent relationships. 40. What is a people-pleaser like? _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 41. Besides mental and physical problems, what other problems may a people-pleaser suffer from? _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. If you don’t want to be a people-pleaser, you should love being with others, value the plans made with yourself, and decline others’requests when necessary. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 43. What do you think of the behavior of pleasing others? (In about 40 words) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节 写作(20分) 44. 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你的英国笔友Jim给你写了一封信，提及因为误解，他和同学产生了不愉快。请用英文给Jim回复邮件，内容包括： 1. 安慰Jim； 2. 具体建议 注意：1．词数 100 左右； 2．开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 延庆区2025—2026学年第一学期质量监测 高三英语 2025.09 考生须知 1.考生要认真填写个人信息。 2.本试卷共11页，三大部分(共100分)，考试时间90分钟。 3.试题所有答案必须填涂或书写在答题卡上，在试卷上作答无效。选择题必须用2B铅笔作答;非选择题必须用黑色字迹的签字笔作答。 4.考试结束后，考生应将答题卡按要求放在桌面上，待监考员收回。 第一部分：知识运用(共两节，30分) 第一节 完形填空(共10小题：每小题1.5分，共15分) 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 【1~10题答案】 【答案】1.
