真光中学（汾水校区）2025学年第一学期高三10月阶段练习 高三英语 问卷 考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：120分 第Ⅰ卷（满分65分） 第二部分 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。 A This month’s smartest tech I’VE GOT NO STRINGS Eufy says its new model, E15 (out in June), is fully “self-driving” — no wires or pegs (钉子) needed, which could make it a game changer. Aimed at smaller lawns (800 m2 rather than 1,200 m2), the E15 is smart enough to detect trees, borders and even pets while cutting. It’ll even detect when it rains or gets dark and head back to base. Eufy E15 £1,499, eufy.com NEXT IN LINE Last month, Nintendo launched the successor to one of the most popular games of all time. The Switch 2 will cost £395 and Mario Kart World £65 in the UK. You just need to pay £429 if you bundle (捆绑购买) them (a set). Buy the Switch 2 alone now and you’ll get a 10% discount. If you buy 2 sets or more, you can enjoy a 20% discount. Any Nintendo console isn’t really about the tech specs, it’s about how it makes you feel when you knock that smug Donkey Kong off his kart on the last corner. We’ll see you in line. Nintendo Switch 2 From £395, nintendo.com JUST LOOK AT IT! While we wouldn’t recommend dropping $10,000 on a record player, we can’t ignore how good this turntable looks. The idea here is that sound and light unite. As the player’s needle dances across the surface of the record, the light shines in harmony. Plus, the turntable itself is held up in the air via magnetic suspension, which, as well as looking unbelievably cool, means it’s isolated from vibrations (震动) to provide maximum musical faithfulness. Audio Technica Hotaru $10,000 (£7,480), audio-technica.com 1. What is an advantage of E15? A. It requires a buried wire to operate. B. It can detect obstacles while cutting. C. It is designed for lawns over 1,200 m2. D. It can predict when it rains or gets dark. 2. How much do you pay for 2 Switches with 2 Mario Kart World the least? A. £736 B. £617 C. £686 D. £790 3. What helps Audio Technica Hotaru provide maximum musical faithfulness? A. Its amazing look. B. Its creative design. C. Its application of vibrations. D. Its combination of sound and light. B On Dec. 26, when Gelinne, 60, was gazing out the back windows of his home in Edgewater, he saw a small aircraft a few hundred yards away, losing altitude. As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former Navy commander and current cybersecurity expert, realized it was going to land in the stream. He flashed on a moment from more than 20 years earlier: Sept. 11, 2001. Gelinne was at work in the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., when terrorists crashed a jumbo jet into the building. He fled the chaos but has always wondered if he could have stayed inside and helped. “To the right was the crisis, and to the left was escape. I don’t even know if I could’ve gone right, but I went left,” he recalled. “I always second-guessed myself about that decision.” On this day, Gelinne didn’t hesitate. He ran down to the waterfront. The plane was now sinking. The pilot was standing on the wing. Gelinne knew from his Navy training that even a few minutes in the icy water could kill the pilot. Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it. So he and his son, John Jr., pulled two kayaks (皮划艇) out from under their back deck. The two men set off, pushing their boats across the ice. It was exhausting work. When Gelinne reached the plane, the pilot was standing on a tail wing, submerged up to his chest, surrounded by open water. Gelinne pushed his kayak off the ice and into the water, paddling toward the pilot and thinking, What if he panics? What if I flip? With his son nearby, Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the boat as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the kayak’s bow. Now the two men were floating together, but Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot out of the water and up onto the shelf of unbroken ice behind him before the man lost too much body heat. But each time Gelinne tried to land atop the ice shelf, the kayak broke through. By now a boat from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources appeared, breaking through ice as it arrived. It picked up the pilot and swiftly transported him to safety. Later the boat returned to help Gelinne, now exhausted, to shore. The rescuers had arrived just in time, Gelinne recalled. “I’m 60 years old,” he says. “There was no way I could get him to shore.” Still, he was satisfied he’d gone the right way that day. 4. The author describes Gelinne’s experience on September 11, 2001, mainly to ________. A. illustrate the source of his guilt and how it fueled his determination this time B. show his experience in the military made him qualified for rescue operations C. emphasize the psychological trauma of the event had impacted him negatively D. suggest individuals have the moral obligation to assist others in crisis 5 The underlined word “second-guessed” most likely means________ in the context. A. completely forgave B. strongly doubted C. constantly consulted D. passionately defended 6. What were the challenges Gelinne faced in the rescue attempt? ①the sinking plane ②the broken kayaks ③the drowning pilot ④his panicked son ⑤the icy water A. ①②③ B. ①③⑤ C. ①④⑤ D. ②③④ 7. Which of the following may serve as the best title for the passage? A. A pilot’s icy survival: a plane crash on frozen creek B. A veteran’s attempt: overcoming past regret with a brave act C. A family’s highlight moment: how united rescue saved a life D. Navy training in action: an emergency rescue operation saves life C When I was seven my father gave me a Timex, my first watch. I loved it, wore it for years, and haven’t had another one since it stopped ticking a decade ago. Why? Because I don’t need one. I have a mobile phone and I’m always near someone with an iPod or something like that. All these devices (装置) tell the time — which is why, if you look around, you’ll see lots of empty wrists; sales of watches to young adults have been going down since 2007. This is ridiculous. Expensive cars go faster than cheap cars. Expensive clothes hang better than cheap clothes. But these days all watches tell the time as well as all other watches. Expensive watches come with extra functions — but who needs them? How often do you dive to 300 metres into the sea or need to find your direction in the area around the South Pole? So why pay that much of five years’ school fees for watches that allow you to do these things? If justice were done, the Swiss watch industry should have closed down when the Japanese discovered how to make accurate watches for a five-pound note. Instead the Swiss reinvented the watch, with the aid of millions of pounds’ worth of advertising, as a message about the man wearing it. Rolexes are for those who spend their weekends climbing icy mountains; a Patek Philippe is for one from a rich or noble family; a Breitling suggests you like to pilot planes across the world. Watches are now classified as “investments” (投资). A 1994 Philippe recently sold for nearly £ 350,000, while 1960s Rolexes have gone from £ 15,000 to £ 30,000 plus in a year. But a watch is not an investment. It’s a toy for self-satisfaction, a matter of fashion. Prices may keep going up — they’ve been rising for 15 years. But when of fashion. Prices may keep going up — they’ve been rising for 15 years. But when fashion moves on, the owner of that £ 350,000 beauty will suddenly find his pride and joy is no more a good investment than my childhood Times. 8. The author don’t need another watch because ________. A. he don’t like wearing a watch B. he has mobile phone and can ask someone for help C. he has no sense of time D. he thinks watches too expensive 9. It seems ridiculous to the writer that________. A. expensive watches with unnecessary functions still sell B. expensive clothes sell better than cheap ones C. cheap cars don’t run as fast as expensive ones D. people dive 300 metres into the sea 10. What can be learnt about Swiss watch industry from the passage? A. It wastes a huge amount of money in advertising. B. It’s hard for the industry to beat its competitors. C. It targets rich people as its potential customers. D. It’s easy for the industry to reinvent cheap watches. 11. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Timex or Rolex? B. My Childhood Timex C. Watches? Not for Me! D. Watches----a Valuable Collection D Humans, it turns out, are better than current AI models at describing and interpreting social interactions in a moving scene—— skills necessary for self-driving cars, assistive robots, and other technologies that rely on AI systems to navigate(导航) the real world. The research, led by scientists at Johns Hopkins University, finds that AI systems fail at understanding social dynamics and context necessary for interacting with people and suggests the problem may be rooted in the infrastructure(基础设施) of AI systems. To determine how AI models measure up compared to human awareness, the researchers asked human participants to watch three-second video clips(片段) and rate features important for understanding social interactions on a scale of one to five. The clips included people either interacting with one another, performing side-by-side activities, or conducting independent activities on their own. The researchers then asked more than 350 AI language, video, and image models to predict how humans would judge the videos and how their brains would respond to watching. For large language models, the researchers had AI evaluate short, human-written captions(说明文字). Participants, for the most part, agreed with one another on all the questions; the AI models, regardless of size or the data they were trained on, did not. Video models were unable to accurately describe what people were doing in the videos. Even image models that were given a series of still frames to analyze could not reliably predict whether people were communicating. Language models were better at predicting human behavior, while video models were better at predicting neural activity in the brain. The results provide a sharp contrast to AI’s success in reading still images, the researchers said. According to the lead author, Leyla Isik, there are many details, but the main point is that no AI models fully match human brain and behavior responses to scenes, unlike in still images. These models miss essential parts of human scene processing. 12. In which aspect does AI need improving? A. Carrying out word orders. B. The ability to drive cars. C. The cooperation between humans and AI. D. Recognizing dynamic intentions. 13. What might cause the problem of AI systems? A. Lack of data. B. Low intelligence. C. The basic structures. D. Limited training time. 14. What was the purpose of participants’ rating video features? A. To train AI caption generators. B. To quantify human insight. C To highlight AI models’ accuracy. D. To study videos’ emotional impact. 15. What can be inferred about Leyla Isik? A. She is optimistic about AI’s future. B. She feels AI is better with action scenes. C. She believes AI matches human abilities. D. She thinks AI lacks human-like processing. 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。 For years, we’ve treated sustainability only as a knowledge problem. If people just understood the climate crisis — the graphs, melting ice caps and emissions charts, they’d change. ____16____. Take smoking as an example. In the 1980s, everyone was aware that it was harmful to their health but research cites that it was smoking policies and bans that had real impact. Numbers dropped because the world around smokers changed quietly, structurally and persistently. If guilt isn’t working, design might A 2022 Pew survey found that majorities in most countries consider climate change a serious threat to their nation’s future. Yet behavioural change, especially in food, transport and energy use, falls far behind. ____17____. Awareness does not equal action and information alone is insufficient. We must stop relying on guilt and start focusing on systemic design that makes sustainable choices easy and automatic. Why we need a better story Psychologists have shown that narratives are more persuasive than facts. In one study, people were more likely to act when shown a story about a single identifiable person than overwhelming statistics. Yet, the dominant climate narrative today is not a story. ____18____. And it centers around guilt, sacrifice and shame. Food is the frontline of climate Food is key to climate action. ____19____. So we need to design food environments that make climate-smart choices intuitive (出于直觉的), tasty and culturally relevant. ____20____ The most impactful thing we can do isn’t to convince people to care more but to build systems that make better choices easier, cheaper and more joyful. These are systems that reward low-emission lifestyles, push people toward sustainable meals and normalize pride rather than shame in acting for the planet. A. It’s a warning in fact B. Systems must change, not people C. Behaviour is downstream of design D. This is the contradiction we must face E. That’s exactly the playbook sustainability needs now F. But behaviour doesn’t work that way and we’ve seen it before G. Food systems account for over one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions 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。 Years ago, as a shy and uncertain post-graduate, I took a decent job but felt like wearing ill-fitting shoes.

For months, I'd discuss with members about our reading and ____26____ our progress, frustrations, and aha moments.

Another practice was “artist dates” — solo activities to inspire fun. Cameron emphasized that ____31____ our limiting beliefs was only half the battle; we must also ____32____ seek joy.

At sunset, I'd roll down my car window, sing loudly and ____34____ the pink sky. Joy entered my serious life. A year later, I quitted my job and ____35____ one in a creative field.

These were never the sorts of things that other people brought, such as dolls, books or toys. My dolls and toys have been gone for more than half a century, but many of my grandfather’s gifts are still with me. Once he brought me a little plastic cup. I looked inside, expecting to see something special. But there was only some loose soil in it, which made me disappointed. He smiled at me affectionately. Turning around, he picked up a little teapot from my dolls’ tea set and took me to the kitchen where he filled the little cup with water. Back in the living room, he put it on the windowsill(窗台) and handed me the teapot. “If you promise to put some water in the cup every day, something may happen.” he told me. At that time, I was only five years old. This whole thing made no sense to me at all. I looked at him doubtfully and asked, “Do I have to water it every day? What will happen?” He nodded to me with encouragement, “Yes, every day, dear.” And so I promised. At first, curious to see what would happen, I did not mind doing this. But as the days went by and nothing changed, it got harder and harder to remember to put water in the cup. After a week, I asked my grandfather if it was time to stop yet. Shaking his head no, he said, “Every day.” The second week was even harder, and I became regretful of my promise to put water in the cup. When my grandfather came again, I tried to give it back to him, but he refused to take it, saying simply the same words, “Every day.” By the third week, I began to forget to put water in the cup during the day. Often, I would remember only after I had been put to bed and would have to get out of bed and water it in the dark. But I did not miss a single day. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One morning something amazing happened. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This was perhaps my first lesson in the power of perseverance. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 真光中学（汾水校区）2025学年第一学期高三10月阶段练习 高三英语 问卷 考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：120分 第Ⅰ卷（满分65分） 第二部分 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。 A 【1~3题答案】 【答案】1.

I used to be a chronic procrastinator, often leaving my homework until the last minute and staying up late to finish it, which left me physically exhausted and mentally drained. Realizing that I was trapped in a harmful cycle, I felt overwhelmed by regret. To break this bad habit, I started to schedule my tasks reasonably and set specific deadlines for each one. Additionally, I divided large tasks into smaller, more manageable steps. Gradually, I found myself becoming more organized and efficient. This not only enhanced my sleep quality but also led to better academic performance. Now, let’s bravely identify our bad habits and take positive action to change them. Remember, small steps lead to big changes. Let’s leave behind the past and build better habits for a new life! Thank you! 第二节 读后续写（共1题，满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】One morning, something amazing happened. At that time, I went to water the plant as usual. To my surprise, a small bud appeared in the plastic cup. Under the supervision of grandpa, I spent three weeks watering the soil, not caring about the result, just watering it, and it did give wonders to me! I told my grandfather with excitement. He gave me praise kindly and said, “Nothing in the world is difficult if you are willing to put your heart into it. Keep trying.” This was perhaps my first lesson in the power of perseverance. I couldn’t help feeling that no matter how big a problem I encountered in my study. I could devote myself to solving it if I kept at it. Thank my grandpa for giving me such a precious plant. It is grandpa that let me understand that life on the road is easier as long as you don’t give up. It is possible to create a miracle! Therefore, whether it is to treat their own life, or treat their own work, the most important thing is to stick to it and act actively. There may be unexpected good harvest! 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
