I had gone up and down the tower when, outside the little door at the foot, a blind man came toward me. He was a pale, thin man with dark glasses. He kept close to the inner wall of the courtyard. On reaching the door, he touched it and sharply turned inside. In a moment, he disappeared up the staircase. I stood still, looking at the little sign that said “To the Tower…” I felt it necessary to follow. I didn’t follow closely. I caught up with him in the ticket office. There I was surprised to see the attendant selling him a ticket as though he were any other visitor. With the ticket in one hand and touching the wall with the other, he reached the staircase leading to the hallway. “That man is blind,” I said to the attendant, but he showed no concern. “He’s blind,” I repeated. He didn’t answer, looking at me vacantly. “Perhaps he wants to jump,” I said. But his chair was too comfortable. He didn’t stir. He still looked down at a crossword puzzle he had begun. I turned toward the staircase. “The ticket,” the attendant said, rising from his chair. It seemed the only thing that could move him. After purchasing my ticket, I hurried up the staircase. The man hadn’t gone as far as I imagined. After ten minutes, I approached him. “Excuse me,” I said as politely as I could, “but I am very curious to know why you came up.” “You’d never guess,” he said. “Not the view, I take it, or the fresh air on this winter day,” I said. He smiled. “Coming up the stairs, one can feel the change — the cool staircase suddenly becomes quite warm, and how up here behind the wall there is shade, but as soon as one goes opposite a narrow window one finds the sun. In all of Siena there is no place so good as here.” He moved into the sunlight. Then he stepped into the shade. “Light, shade, light, shade,” he said, and seemed as pleased as a child who, in a game of hopscotch, jumps from square to square. We went down the tower together. I left him, gladdened as one can only be by the sunlight. 24. Why did the author follow the blind man? A. To offer timely help. B. To satisfy his curiosity. C. To teach him a lesson. D. To prevent him from climbing up. 25. What was the attendant’s attitude to visitors? A. Enthusiastic. B. Concerned. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful. 26. What encouraged the blind man to climb the tower? A. The fresh air on the top. B. The pleasant childhood memories. C. The fantastic view from the tower. D. The striking contrast between light and shade. 27. What message does the writer want to convey in the text? A. Nature is the best gift for humanity. B. When one door shuts, another opens in life. C. Every individual can appreciate beauty in life. D. The disadvantaged deserve care from the society. C History was recently made at a half-marathon in Beijing. In addition to welcoming 12, 000 runners, the race also featured 21 robot participants. The only design rule for the competing robots was that they were bi-pedal (双足行走的) instead of running on wheels. Otherwise, it was a free for all, resulting in interesting design choices with mixed results. The strategies used included robots with kid-sized sneakers, or shoes made out of tape. Some didn’t have a head, while others did, resulting in teams fixing them mid-race to prevent them from falling. Others used knee pads (护膝) to prevent them from breaking in case they fall downwards — and many of them did. Only six of the 21 robots finished the race. Running on a separate track from the human competitors, almost every robot faced difficulties, from falling down to overheating. One robot needed a cooling pad to make it to the end while others had liquid sprayed on them. All robots were accompanied by two or three human operators who ran beside them to help control their speed with control panels or to clear their path. The winner was a robot named Tiangong Ultra, designed by UB Tech and the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center. It finished the race in two hours and 40 minutes. Despite being the robot victor, its path was not free of accidents either. It fell down once and its team had to change its batteries three times. “Until five years ago or so, we didn’t really know how to get robots to walk reliably,” Alan Fem, a robotics professor at Oregon State. “And now we do, and this will be a good demonstration of that.” Fern also noted that there’s no market demand for running robots, which likely explains why it’s not a priority for developers, adding that it was definitely interesting to see them follow instructions in a challenging environment. As such, the half-marathon provided them with a platform to showcase their hardware robustness (稳定性). Ultimately, there’s no need to worry — a robot will not likely beat you in a race. Not right now anyway. 28. What does the phrase “a free for all” most likely mean in Paragraph 2? A. The robots were allowed to run without any rules. B. The robots were designed in a variety of creative ways. C. The robots were not allowed to use wheels. D. The robots were all required to wear sneakers. 29. What barriers did the robot participants meet during the race? A. It was forbidden to charge the batteries. B. Human operators could not control their running speed. C. Running together with human competitors disturbed them. D. Some of them fell down and others had to be cooled with liquid. 30. What can be learned about the winner Tiangong Ultra? A. It defeated other running robot participants smoothly. B. It wouldn’t have won the championship without its team’s aid. C. It had the longest battery life among the robot participants. D. It set a good example for the marketers and other robot participants. 31. What can be inferred from Alan Fern’s comment? A. The market for running robots will definitely boom. B. Humanoid robots will dominate humans sooner or later. C. Running robots could not follow instructions in different situations. D. Every small step in the half-marathon race is one giant leap in robotics. D A report from the UN reveals that drylands, including vast areas of desert, cover 41.3% of Earth’s total land area. What if large amounts of this land could be transformed into fertile (肥沃的) ground capable of producing crops? In 2016, researchers from China’s Chongqing Jiaotong University developed a novel technology that can greatly improve the ability of desert sands to hold water, air and minerals essential for plant growth. It was applied to a sandy 1.6-hectare (公顷) plot in the Ulan Buh Desert, in the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region. Over time, the plot was transformed into cropland capable of producing tomatoes, rice, watermelon, sunflowers, and corn. Professor Yang Qingguo of Chongqing Jiaotong University explained that “The costs of artificial materials and machines for transforming sand into the soil is lower compared with controlled environmental agriculture and reclamation (开垦).” The research work at Chongqing Jiaotong University is not the first Chinese attempt to turn deserts into fertile land. As early as 1978, China launched the Three-North Shelter Forest Program, also known as the Great Green Wall. The goal of this program is to stop the expansion of the vast Gobi Desert and launch reforestation projects in the northeast, north, and northwest regions. It is a long-term initiative, scheduled for completion in 2050. In the past several decades, more than 7.88 million hectares of windbreak trees have been planted, 336,200 square kilometers of desert land have been reclaimed, and more than 10 million hectares of grasslands have been protected or restored. At the same time, in the Loess Gateau, grass and forest coverage has been increased by around 60%, and the silt (淤泥) build-up in the Yellow River has been reduced significantly. Beyond the Great Green Wall, China has taken other measures to stop the spread of deserts. Desert greening is a challenging task, but the experiments conducted in China and other parts of the world to implement desert reforestation have raised hopes for a healthy and resourceful future ahead. 32. What do we know about the application of the new technology in the Ulan Buh Desert? A. It produced as much as fertile soils did. B. It showed the benefits of organic fertilizers. C. It proved sandy land could support diverse crops. D. It resulted in the plot becoming a tourist attraction. 33. What is the advantage of creating soil from sand according to Professor Yang? A. It is lower in cost. B. It is more eco-friendly. C. It produces fast-growing crops. D. It simplifies the farming process. 34. What can be inferred from Paragraph 5 about the Great Green Wall? A. It has significantly improved the ecological environment. B. It focused only on planting trees in desert areas. C. It was completed ahead of schedule. D. It mainly benefited the Yellow River region. 35. What is the most suitable title for the text? A. The Challenges of Desert Greening. B. China’s Efforts in Turning Deserts into Farmland. C. The Role of the UN in Combating Desertification. D. The History of the Great Green Wall Project. 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。 Spending Time Outdoors Improves Health You don’t need extreme diets or painful workout routines to boost your well-being. Try research-backed rules developed by neuroscientist (神经学家) Rachel Hopman of Northeastern University to improve mental and physical health through time spent outdoors. 36 • Get out in nature for 20 minutes. Research shows this is the sweet spot for lowering cortisol, your body’s primary stress stimulator. Better yet, you don’t need to sweat it out — just sit or walk in a natural setting, bathed in sunlight. However, Dr. Mary Hunter, lead author of the study, emphasizes the importance of disconnecting during these moments. 37 Think of it as a mini escape from artificial stuff, designed to reset your stress levels. • Aim for five hours a month in half-wild spaces such as state parks. 38 Finnish researchers agree, finding wilder settings, with their natural “chaos”, help form a sense of calm. • 39 Longer exposure to wild landscapes activates alpha brain waves— those linked to deep thoughts, creativity and deep relaxation, Men’s Health reported. Studies even show profound benefits for mental health: a four-day wilderness trip can reduce PTSD symptoms by 29 percent and stress by 21 percent. 40 So the next time you find yourself needing a “reset”, head outside for a quick lunchtime walk, or plan a weekend in the woods. Best of all, it’s free, accessible and waiting just outside your door. A. Remember to listen to some relaxing music. B. Its effects can even last for weeks afterward. C. Bury yourself in nature for three days annually. D. Avoid the use of social media, phone calls, and reading. E. The approach can be more effective if parents are involved. F. These environments provide heightened relaxation compared to city parks. G. These methods emphasize small, manageable steps that can lead to big rewards. 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。 One ordinary afternoon, seeking an old novel for research, I wandered into a cluttered secondhand bookstore. When I 41 the dusty shelves, a familiar spine (书脊) caught my eye. My heart 42 a beat — it was a childhood 43 I hadn’t seen in decades — the very copy that had been stolen from my school bag. 44 nostalgia (怀旧), I bought it immediately. Back at my desk, I carefully opened the 45 cover. What I saw left me breathless. There, on the first page, was my 46 childhood signature. But beneath it, unmistakable in its flowing writing, was my grandfather’s 47 , written when he first 48 it to me: “I really hope at many years later this book will once again fall into your hands, and you’ll read it again.” A wave of 49 washed over me. I recalled my childish 50 when the book was lost, and Grandpa’s 51 words: “Don’t cry, little one. Perhaps it’s just on an adventure, learning new stories to share.” Now, holding this tangible piece of my past, his hopeful wish felt like a 52 fulfilled. The book had completed its long, unexpected 53 , guided by an 54 thread of love. Grandpa’s simple words could no longer be 55 . Sometimes, love truly does find its way back home, even through the yellowed pages of a forgotten book. 41. A. cleaned B. searched C. repaired D. painted 42.

It’s amazing to watch as they discover their world. While we were outdoors last summer enjoying the sunshine, our oldest daughter, Kaytlin, called me to the doorway. Beneath the steps was a baby red squirrel (松鼠). We watched it from a distance, not wanting to disturb it or scare off its mother. But after a long wait — and looking all around our house for signs of a nest or a mother — we realized the tiny squirrel was lost. Shaking terribly, he was weak, thin, and hungry. We tried to find an expert to help, but the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife website showed that there were no wildlife experts in our area. After some quick research, we concluded that the best way to give the squirrel a fighting chance was to care for him ourselves. So a trip to the local store for milk and supplies was in order. More research taught us how much to feed him, how to estimate his age, how and when to wean (断奶) him, and that we should let him go as soon as he could survive on his own. We named the squirrel Squirt. Our daughters and I took turns on feeding Squirt. Kaytlin took on the most responsibility. She taught him to eat from a bottle, and she woke in the night for his feeds. To our relief, Squirt soon became healthy and strong. Within a few weeks he became more active. He would chatter (吱吱叫) for his next meal, playfully go around the girls, and lie down on them for sleep. It wasn’t long before he was weaned onto solid food and reintroduced to the wild. His first few visits to the great outdoors were funny. Just like a child, he would play in the grass some and then run back to Kaytlin for safety. Soon she had him climbing trees and finding nest material. 注意：1. 续写词数应为 150 个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在以下位置作答。 One day in the trees, Squirt met up with a family of gray squirrels. One night, Squirt didn’t come back to our house and it rained hard. 高三英语 第1页 （共12页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
