It’s hardly surprising, then, that the city boasts unequaled opportunities for observing these gentle giants. After consulting travelers and experts, we identified the following whale watching tours as the best available. San Diego Whale Watching This tour features a certified marine biologist as a guide, ensuring that sea life enthusiasts will get the maximum amount of insight about the whales, dolphins and other creatures they’ll see. Reviewers appreciate the friendly crew members’ informed commentary, as well as their respect for the animals. It also offers a sunset cruise and private charters. Adventure Whale Watching If you’re looking for an adventurous ride that puts you within arm’s reach of wildlife, this tour may be for you. The company uses military-style rigid inflatable (需充气的) boats that are low to the water. Thanks to the boat’s high speed, it can quickly navigate to where whale activity is detected and cover more ground than a traditional whale watching boat. Flagship Cruises & Events This tour aims to be educational and fun, and reviewers consistently report that it succeeds in both respects, with the crew winning praise for being knowledgeable and personable. Reviewers also appreciate that the cruise departs from Broadway Pier, which is within walking distance of other top San Diego attractions, making it easy to add a whale watching cruise to a day of sightseeing. Next Level Sailing For many recent cruisers, the beautiful, 141-foot sailing yacht (游艇) used for this whale watching tour is as much a draw as the attentive crew. The sailboat boasts more than just good looks — its size makes it more stable than other boats used for whale watching tours. In fact, the company offers a “no seasickness guarantee” — if you get sick, you’ll receive a $25 gift certificate. 21. Which tour involves a scientist accompanying the tourists? A. San Diego Whale Watching. B. Adventure Whale Watching. C. Flagship Cruises & Events. D. Next Level Sailing. 22. What distinguishes Adventure Whale Watching from the other tours? A. The crew’s knowledge. B. The boat’s speed. C. The reviewers’ report. D. The better accessibility. 23. What is an advantage of Next Level Sailing? A. It gives visitors extra gifts. B. It offers military-style boats. C. It ensures a sense of comfort. D. It departs from Broadway Pier. B When famous stem cell (干细胞) biologist Helen Blau reads her recently published picture book, Stem cells to the Rescue, to her grandchildren, even the 5-year-olds sits still. “I’ve read it to them many times,” says Blau. The grandmother of four describes how her grandkids, between the ages of 5 and 9, especially love to point to the curly-haired frog looking through a microscope on page 30. “They knew right away it was me,” she says, laughing. Filled with dancing stem cell blobs (小团) and active frogs — who like to color, eat ice cream, and swim, just like her grandchildren — Blau’s rhyming book is a joint effort with illustrator Margery Fain, 69. It was inspired by their own grandchildren and by a desire to educate all children (and hopefully their parents and grandparents too) about stem cells — those building blocks that play an important role in tissue maintenance and repair. “It’s not very easy for the general public to understand what stem cells are all about,” says Blau, “We thought the book was a possible means to address this as the book can teach while bringing joy to kids.” The book was published last year by Cold Spring Harbour Laboratory Press. The first half of Blau’s book shows how stem cells come to the rescue when kid frogs hurt their knees. Then, in the second half, as the frogs age and turn into grandparents with glasses, facing age-related problems, scientist frogs like Blau become the rescuers who develop stem cell technologies to treat these conditions. Researchers are making progress on how to “make new stem cells,” the book says, to repair grandma’s eyes or to regenerate cartilage (软骨) in grandpa’s aching knees — both among Blau’s research projects. For Blau, who has written hundreds of scientific publications, this was her first attempt into children’s literature. It was fun and she might write another. She says, “Wouldn’t it be great if we could motivate kids to become scientists?” 24. What do Blau’s grandchildren think of the book? A. Confusing. B. Appealing. C. Valuable. D. Professional. 25. What is a feature of Stem cells to the Rescue according to the text? A. It uses personified characters. B. It focuses on frog activities. C. It presents rhyming songs. D. It stresses a healthy lifestyle. 26. What does the underlined word “this” mean in paragraph 4? A. The public’s limited understanding of stem cells. B. The lack of children’s books about stem cells. C. The difficulty of making science interesting. D. The need of carrying out joyful education. 27. What does Blau expect of the book in the future? A. It can have a place in children’s literature. B. It can show her progress in stem cells study. C. It can help apply the stem cell research. D. It can inspire children’s scientist dream. C Adrian Ward, a psychologist at the University of Texas, remembers a dial-up connection in his home as a kid. “In those days, the Internet lived in a room in your home. You used it at specific times because you had limited minutes and had to make sure nobody else was using the phone line,” Ward recalls. So, what would it be like to go back to those days? No mobile-app shopping, no streaming shows or media on your phone? The researchers measured three different outcomes of well-being, mood and attention at the beginning, middle and end of a four-week study. While 91% of the 467 participants, aged 18 to 74, improved their scores in at least one category, 71% reported better mental health after the break, compared to before, and 73% reported better subjective well-being. The participants completed a survey often used by doctors to assess symptoms (症状) of depression and anxiety. It includes questions such as: How often in the past week have you felt little interest or pleasure in doing things you typically enjoy? The participants’ responses pointed to a significant lift in mood. One of the surprising findings was that the decrease in depressive symptoms was comparable to — or even greater than — reductions documented in studies of people taking antidepressant medications. The effects were larger than anticipated. A break from the Internet on their phones also improved participants’ attention spans (持续时间), which was measured by a computer task. They tracked pictures which changed repeatedly between mountain landscapes and urban landscapes. Prior research has shown that performance tends to drop off as people age, but to the researchers’ surprise, after the Internet break, there was a significant boost in scores. It’s not clear how long-lasting the effect of less time online would be, but this study proves what has been found in observational studies. “It’s one of the first experiments that does provide causal evidence that reducing time spent on your phone has all these significant benefits,” Ward says. 28. What did the researchers aim to find out through the study? A. The health risks caused by mobile phones. B. The impact of an Internet break on people. C. The factors affecting people’s mental health. D. The effective ways of dealing with depression. 29. The questions in the survey focused on the participants’ ______. A. mood swings B. personal interest C. health indicators D. medical history 30. How did the study measure the participants’ attention spans? A. By observing their daily use of phone Internet. B. By asking doctors to assess their attention directly. C. By having them monitor alternate images on a computer. D. By asking them to complete a paper-and pencil survey. 31. What’s Ward’s tone like in the last paragraph? A. Humorous. B. Doubtful. C. Grateful. D. Confident. D Throughout history, trees have played a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance. They absorb CO2 and transform it into oxygen. But one of the challenges with this traditional carbon absorption is that the CO2 trees store can be released back into the atmosphere when they die. However, the discovery of certain trees in Kenya adds a new dimension to this natural process. These trees, also found in several other countries, have been observed to transform CO2 into calcium oxalate. Then bacteria (细菌) present in the trees and surrounding soil transform it further into calcium carbonate (碳酸钙), a primary component of limestone and chalk. The unique process ensures that the CO2 is kept in solid form for much longer, even after the tree’s life ends. This finding was emphasized by Mike Rowley from the University of Zurich at the Goldschmidt Conference. While the scientific community is optimistic about these findings, several challenges remain. The primary concern is determining the exact amount of CO2 that these trees can transform throughout their lifetime. Without this accurate data, it is challenging to assess the full impact of this method globally. Understanding the ecological balance and ensuring the preservation of biodiversity are crucial before worldwide planting of these trees. Cooperative research efforts are needed to explore these aspects and develop a comprehensive strategy for using these trees as a natural solution to climate change. This discovery in Kenya invites us to reconsider the potential of natural processes in addressing environmental challenges. While technological solutions to climate change are vital, integrating natural methods offers an alternative approach. The unique ability of these trees presents a promising method for exploration. The journey to fighting climate change is complex. As we dig deeper into understanding natural phenomena like the Kenyan trees, we must ask ourselves: How can we make the best of the power of nature to create a sustainable future for generations to come? 32. What is special about the trees found in Kenya? A. They absorb more CO2. B. They help turn CO2 into solids. C. They release oxygen quickly. D. They live in harmony with bacteria. 33. What is the core challenge before applying the discovery globally? A. Assessing the cost of the process. B. Understanding the impact on soil. C. Quantifying the CO2 transformation. D. Collecting the data on biodiversity. 34. What does the author try to explore in the last two paragraphs? A. The seriousness of climate change. B. The method of green development. C. The prospect of scientific approaches. D. The role of nature in climate solutions. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A defensive Strategy in Nature B. A Recent Advance in CO2 Research C. Kenyan Trees: A Natural Carbon Lock D. Tree Planting: A Key to Ecological Balance 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。 My sister is a three-time breast cancer survivor who has personally experienced significant loss in her lifetime. 36 She is one of the most resilient(有韧性的)people I know. Her story got me thinking: How does resilience impact overall health and well-being? Resilience is our ability to bounce back from adversity. It’s defined as “the process and outcome of successfully adapting to difficult or challenging life experiences, especially through mental, emotional, and behavioral flexibility.” 37 And as it turns out, there are significant health benefits to being resilient. Physically, resilience contributes to health by reducing the negative impacts of stress on the body. Research indicates that individuals with higher levels of resilience tend to have lower rates of some diseases, and exhibit stronger immune system function. 38 For example, do exercise regularly and keep a balanced diet, which further support physical well-being. Mentally and emotionally, resilience serves as a protective factor against the development of mental health disorders like anxiety and depression. Resilient individuals are better equipped to manage stress and maintain a positive outlook. 39 Such emotional resilience not only enhances mental health but also improves relationships, productivity, and overall quality of life. 40 Resilient individuals are good at seeking help, offering assistance, and building strong social networks that serve as valuable resources during challenging times. These connections provide emotional support and practical assistance, promoting collective well-being. A. Generally, invest effort in communication. B. However, she expresses joy and gratitude frequently. C. But people are not born with high levels of resilience. D. Socially, resilience strengthens interpersonal connections. E. This helps them develop greater strength in the face of adversity. F. Resilient people like my sister find ways to adjust and move forward. G. Moreover, resilient individuals often engage in healthier lifestyle behaviors. 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，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。 Becoming a regular at the corner coffee shop was an accident. It began when my car 41 nearby on a rainy Monday morning. While waiting for repairs, I took shelter there, ordering a black coffee just to 42 my presence. The next day, I dropped by again. The barista (咖啡师) remembered my 43 : “Large black, no sugar?” I nodded, surprised. That small recognition made me feel   44 in a city where I’d lived without being known for years. Soon, visiting the coffee shop became a 45 . Not for the coffee, but for the 46 : the professor grading papers, the young mother with her baby... We were all background characters in each other’s lives, yet our 47 visits formed an unspoken bond. Modern life has taught us to value 48 over community. We order deliveries to 49 traffic, stream movies to skip theaters, and work 50 to save commute (通勤) time. But in this ordinary coffee shop, I’d found what my smartphone could never provide — the comfort of 51 . Now I go there not when my car breaks down, but when my 52 does. The professor shares crossword clues; we celebrate the first steps of the young mother’s baby. Though we 53 briefly, the communication has become my steadfast anchor (精神支柱). Perhaps we all need a “third place” — not home, not work, but somewhere in between. A place where a simple “Your usual?” means “You 54 .” A place where community isn’t 55 , but just reflected in the steam of a coffee cup. 41.

It plays a key role in 56 (preserve) the nation’s written heritage — a legacy that carries the 57 (wise) of scholars and artists over millennia. For centuries, restorers have worked to repair old, damaged books, many of 58 are hundreds of years old and at risk of being lost. The process of restoring an ancient book demands technical skill and cultural understanding. First, restorers clean the pages to remove dirt and mold. Then, they repair 59 (tear) pages using special paper that matches 60 original in color and texture. This work requires great patience-restorers often spend weeks or even months on a single book. 61 is special about Chinese book restoration is its respect for the historical artifact 62 (it). Restorers try to make as few changes as possible, ensuring that the book’s original appearance and content are left undamaged. Today, young people are joining this field. They learn from master restorers and also use modern technology, 63 digital scanning, to carry out their work accurately. In recent years, with 64 (interact) displays, restored book exhibitions 65 (inspire) more people to care about protecting cultural relics. This craft not only saves old books but also passes on the spirit of preserving history, a value that has been cherished by Chinese people for generations. 第四部分 写作(共两节, 满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 假设你是校英文报编辑李华，近期你校开展了“校园劳动实践周”活动。请你写一篇英文报道，内容包括： 1. 活动目的； 2. 具体活动内容； 3. 活动意义及效果。 注意： 1. 词数80左右； 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Cultivating Community Through Labor: A Week of Growth ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节(满分25分) 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 In my memory, my parents have always been the model of understanding and patience. Their gentle support has guided me through many hard moments in life. Once, I made a big mistake in my mid-term exam. I scored far below my usual level and even lied to them about the result at first, afraid of their disappointment. But when they found the test paper in my schoolbag, I lowered my head, waiting for a scolding (训斥). Instead, my father sat down beside me, patted my hand softly and said, “Mistakes are just lessons in disguise (伪装), dear. What matters is being honest and fixing what went wrong.” My mother brought me a cup of hot milk, adding, “We know you’ve been trying. Let’s go over the paper together tonight, okay?” Their words removed my anxiety like sunlight on ice. Another time, I fell in love with painting and spent almost all my after-school time on it, which made my homework pile up. My teacher even called my parents to talk about my poor grades. I thought they would take away my paintbrushes, but they only had a calm chat with me. “We love seeing you so fond of something,” my father said, “but balance is key-your studies lay the foundation for your future, and painting can be a wonderful break from it.” With their guidance, I made it a rule: finish homework first, and then paint for an hour. Soon, my grades improved, and my paintings even won a school award. Last month, I faced a tough choice; join the school’s art competition which would take weeks of practice or take extra classes to prepare for the upcoming physics exam. I hesitated, staying up late worrying about letting my parents down no matter what I chose. That night, I found a note on my desk. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I picked up the note and read my father’s handwriting carefully. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With their encouragement, I signed up for the art competition and made a study plan. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第10页，共10页 试卷第1页，共10页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★启用前 高三英语期中模拟调研卷01（江苏卷）解析版 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

My name is Grace Collins and I’m excited to share my experiences with you tonight. For the past ten years, I’ve worked to protect and restore natural ecosystems particularly in a small island nation in the Pacific. One of my proudest projects was creating a community program where local fishermen could work together to monitor and protect the environment. These partnerships have shown me that successful conservation isn’t just about using the latest tools or technologies. It’s about building trust, respecting local traditions and finding ways to solve problems together. I’ve learned so much from the people. I’ve worked with and their knowledge has been key to bringing real change. Later in my talk, I’ll introduce some new techniques. We’ve recently developed to help speed up restoration efforts but first I’d like to tell you more about the work we did and what we learned along the way. After my presentation, I’d be happy to take any questions. 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 Though San Diego is home to a habitat of sea lions, dolphins and birds, its most popular animals are whales. It’s hardly surprising, then, that the city boasts unequaled opportunities for observing these gentle giants. After consulting travelers and experts, we identified the following whale watching tours as the best available. San Diego Whale Watching This tour features a certified marine biologist as a guide, ensuring that sea life enthusiasts will get the maximum amount of insight about the whales, dolphins and other creatures they’ll see. Reviewers appreciate the friendly crew members’ informed commentary, as well as their respect for the animals. It also offers a sunset cruise and private charters. Adventure Whale Watching If you’re looking for an adventurous ride that puts you within arm’s reach of wildlife, this tour may be for you. The company uses military-style rigid inflatable (需充气的) boats that are low to the water. Thanks to the boat’s high speed, it can quickly navigate to where whale activity is detected and cover more ground than a traditional whale watching boat. Flagship Cruises & Events This tour aims to be educational and fun, and reviewers consistently report that it succeeds in both respects, with the crew winning praise for being knowledgeable and personable. Reviewers also appreciate that the cruise departs from Broadway Pier, which is within walking distance of other top San Diego attractions, making it easy to add a whale watching cruise to a day of sightseeing. Next Level Sailing For many recent cruisers, the beautiful, 141-foot sailing yacht (游艇) used for this whale watching tour is as much a draw as the attentive crew. The sailboat boasts more than just good looks — its size makes it more stable than other boats used for whale watching tours. In fact, the company offers a “no seasickness guarantee” — if you get sick, you’ll receive a $25 gift certificate. 21. Which tour involves a scientist accompanying the tourists? A. San Diego Whale Watching. B. Adventure Whale Watching. C. Flagship Cruises & Events. D. Next Level Sailing. 22. What distinguishes Adventure Whale Watching from the other tours? A. The crew’s knowledge. B. The boat’s speed. C. The reviewers’ report. D. The better accessibility. 23. What is an advantage of Next Level Sailing? A. It gives visitors extra gifts. B. It offers military-style boats. C. It ensures a sense of comfort. D. It departs from Broadway Pier. 【答案】21. A 22. B 23. C 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了圣地亚哥的四种观鲸之旅的相关信息。 21. 细节理解题。根据第二段“This tour features a certified marine biologist as a guide, ensuring that sea life enthusiasts will get the maximum amount of insight about the whales, dolphins and other creatures they’ll see.(本次旅行将由一位经过认证的海洋生物学家担任导游，这将确保海洋生物爱好者能够充分了解他们将会见到的鲸鱼、海豚以及其他生物)”可知，San Diego Whale Watching 配备了一位持证的海洋生物学家作为导游。故选A。 22. 细节理解题。根据第三段“Thanks to the boat’s high speed, it can quickly navigate to where whale activity is detected and cover more ground than a traditional whale watching boat.(由于这艘船的航行速度很快，它能够迅速抵达发现鲸鱼活动的区域，并且比传统的观鲸船能够覆盖更广阔的区域)”可知，Adventure Whale Watching 使用的船速度快，能够快速抵达鲸鱼的活动区域。这是其区别于其他旅行的特点。故选B。 23. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The sailboat boasts more than just good looks — its size makes it more stable than other boats used for whale watching tours. In fact, the company offers a “no seasickness guarantee” — if you get sick, you’ll receive a $25 gift certificate.(这艘帆船不仅外观美观，其尺寸也使其比用于观鲸游船的其他船只更加稳定。实际上，该公司还提供“免晕船保证”服务——如果你在航行中晕船了，就可以获得一张价值 25 美元的礼品券)”可知，Next Level Sailing 使用的帆船体积大，稳定性强，且公司提供“不晕船保证”。这体现出该旅行能确保游客的舒适感。故选C。 B When famous stem cell (干细胞) biologist Helen Blau reads her recently published picture book, Stem cells to the Rescue, to her grandchildren, even the 5-year-olds sits still. “I’ve read it to them many times,” says Blau. The grandmother of four describes how her grandkids, between the ages of 5 and 9, especially love to point to the curly-haired frog looking through a microscope on page 30. “They knew right away it was me,” she says, laughing. Filled with dancing stem cell blobs (小团) and active frogs — who like to color, eat ice cream, and swim, just like her grandchildren — Blau’s rhyming book is a joint effort with illustrator Margery Fain, 69. It was inspired by their own grandchildren and by a desire to educate all children (and hopefully their parents and grandparents too) about stem cells — those building blocks that play an important role in tissue maintenance and repair. “It’s not very easy for the general public to understand what stem cells are all about,” says Blau, “We thought the book was a possible means to address this as the book can teach while bringing joy to kids.” The book was published last year by Cold Spring Harbour Laboratory Press. The first half of Blau’s book shows how stem cells come to the rescue when kid frogs hurt their knees. Then, in the second half, as the frogs age and turn into grandparents with glasses, facing age-related problems, scientist frogs like Blau become the rescuers who develop stem cell technologies to treat these conditions. Researchers are making progress on how to “make new stem cells,” the book says, to repair grandma’s eyes or to regenerate cartilage (软骨) in grandpa’s aching knees — both among Blau’s research projects. For Blau, who has written hundreds of scientific publications, this was her first attempt into children’s literature. It was fun and she might write another. She says, “Wouldn’t it be great if we could motivate kids to become scientists?” 24. What do Blau’s grandchildren think of the book? A. Confusing. B. Appealing. C. Valuable. D. Professional. 25. What is a feature of Stem cells to the Rescue according to the text? A. It uses personified characters. B. It focuses on frog activities. C. It presents rhyming songs. D. It stresses a healthy lifestyle. 26. What does the underlined word “this” mean in paragraph 4? A. The public’s limited understanding of stem cells. B. The lack of children’s books about stem cells. C. The difficulty of making science interesting. D. The need of carrying out joyful education. 27. What does Blau expect of the book in the future? A. It can have a place in children’s literature. B. It can show her progress in stem cells study. C. It can help apply the stem cell research. D. It can inspire children’s scientist dream. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. A 27.

The grandmother of four describes how her grandkids, between the ages of 5 and 9, especially love to point to the curly-haired frog looking through a microscope on page 30.(布劳说：“我已经给他们读了很多遍了。” 这位有四个孙辈的奶奶描述了她5到9岁的孙辈们如何特别喜欢指着第30页上那个透过显微镜看的卷发青蛙)”可知，布劳的孙辈们很喜欢这本书，觉得它很有吸引力。故选B。 25. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Filled with dancing stem cell blobs (小团) and active frogs — who like to color, eat ice cream, and swim, just like her grandchildren — Blau’s rhyming book is a joint effort with illustrator Margery Fain, 69.(布劳的这本押韵书是与69岁的插画师玛格丽•费恩合作完成的，书中满是跳舞的干细胞小团和活泼的青蛙 —— 它们像她的孙辈们一样喜欢涂色、吃冰淇淋和游泳)”可知，这本书的特点是运用了拟人化的角色。故选A。 26. 词句猜测题。根据第四段中““It’s not very easy for the general public to understand what stem cells are all about,” says Blau, “We thought the book was a possible means to address this as the book can teach while bringing joy to kids.”(布劳说：“普通大众要理解干细胞到底是什么并不容易，我们认为这本书可能是解决这个问题的一种方法，因为这本书在给孩子们带来快乐的同时也能给他们带来教育。”)”可知，this指代的是公众对干细胞了解有限这一情况。故选A。 27. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“She says, “Wouldn’t it be great if we could motivate kids to become scientists?”(她说：“如果我们能激励孩子们成为科学家，那不是很棒吗？”)”可知，布劳希望这本书未来能激发孩子们的科学梦想。故选D。 C Adrian Ward, a psychologist at the University of Texas, remembers a dial-up connection in his home as a kid. “In those days, the Internet lived in a room in your home. You used it at specific times because you had limited minutes and had to make sure nobody else was using the phone line,” Ward recalls. So, what would it be like to go back to those days? No mobile-app shopping, no streaming shows or media on your phone? The researchers measured three different outcomes of well-being, mood and attention at the beginning, middle and end of a four-week study. While 91% of the 467 participants, aged 18 to 74, improved their scores in at least one category, 71% reported better mental health after the break, compared to before, and 73% reported better subjective well-being. The participants completed a survey often used by doctors to assess symptoms (症状) of depression and anxiety. It includes questions such as: How often in the past week have you felt little interest or pleasure in doing things you typically enjoy? The participants’ responses pointed to a significant lift in mood. One of the surprising findings was that the decrease in depressive symptoms was comparable to — or even greater than — reductions documented in studies of people taking antidepressant medications. The effects were larger than anticipated. A break from the Internet on their phones also improved participants’ attention spans (持续时间), which was measured by a computer task. They tracked pictures which changed repeatedly between mountain landscapes and urban landscapes. Prior research has shown that performance tends to drop off as people age, but to the researchers’ surprise, after the Internet break, there was a significant boost in scores. It’s not clear how long-lasting the effect of less time online would be, but this study proves what has been found in observational studies. “It’s one of the first experiments that does provide causal evidence that reducing time spent on your phone has all these significant benefits,” Ward says. 28. What did the researchers aim to find out through the study? A. The health risks caused by mobile phones. B. The impact of an Internet break on people. C. The factors affecting people’s mental health. D. The effective ways of dealing with depression. 29. The questions in the survey focused on the participants’ ______. A. mood swings B. personal interest C. health indicators D. medical history 30. How did the study measure the participants’ attention spans? A. By observing their daily use of phone Internet. B. By asking doctors to assess their attention directly. C. By having them monitor alternate images on a computer. D. By asking them to complete a paper-and pencil survey. 31. What’s Ward’s tone like in the last paragraph? A. Humorous. B. Doubtful. C. Grateful. D. Confident. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文围绕德克萨斯大学心理学家Adrian Ward的一项研究展开，探究“暂停使用手机网络”对人们的影响，实验发现，此举能改善人们的心理健康、情绪状态和注意力持续时间，并提供了因果证据支持这一结论。 28. 细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers measured three different outcomes of well-being, mood and attention at the beginning, middle and end of a four-week study (研究人员在为期四周的研究初期、中期和末期，分别测量了幸福感、情绪和注意力这三个不同的结果)”，以及全文围绕 “暂停使用手机网络” 的效果展开可知，研究目的是探究“暂停使用网络对人的影响”。故选B项。 29. 细节理解题。根据第四段 “The participants completed a survey often used by doctors to assess symptoms (症状) of depression and anxiety. It includes questions such as: How often in the past week have you felt little interest or pleasure in doing things you typically enjoy? The participants’ responses pointed to a significant lift in mood.(参与者完成了一份医生常用来评估抑郁和焦虑症状的调查。问卷包含诸如 “过去一周内，你对平时喜欢做的事感到兴趣或愉悦的频率有多高？”等问题。参与者的回答显示情绪有显著提升)”可知，调查问题聚焦于参与者的 “情绪波动”。故选A项。 30. 细节理解题。根据第五段“A break from the Internet on their phones also improved participants’ attention spans (持续时间), which was measured by a computer task. They tracked pictures which changed repeatedly between mountain landscapes and urban landscapes.(暂停使用手机网络也提高了参与者的注意力持续时间，这一指标通过一项电脑任务测量：参与者需要追踪在山地景观和城市景观之间反复切换的图片)可知，测量方式是“让他们在电脑上监控交替出现的图像”。故选C项。 31. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s one of the first experiments that does provide causal evidence that reducing time spent on your phone has all these significant benefits (这是首批能提供因果证据的实验之一，证明减少手机使用时间能带来所有这些显著益处）可知，他明确指出实验的突破性（提供因果证据）和结论的确定性，语气“充满信心”。故选D项。 D Throughout history, trees have played a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance. They absorb CO2 and transform it into oxygen. But one of the challenges with this traditional carbon absorption is that the CO2 trees store can be released back into the atmosphere when they die. However, the discovery of certain trees in Kenya adds a new dimension to this natural process. These trees, also found in several other countries, have been observed to transform CO2 into calcium oxalate. Then bacteria (细菌) present in the trees and surrounding soil transform it further into calcium carbonate (碳酸钙), a primary component of limestone and chalk. The unique process ensures that the CO2 is kept in solid form for much longer, even after the tree’s life ends. This finding was emphasized by Mike Rowley from the University of Zurich at the Goldschmidt Conference. While the scientific community is optimistic about these findings, several challenges remain. The primary concern is determining the exact amount of CO2 that these trees can transform throughout their lifetime. Without this accurate data, it is challenging to assess the full impact of this method globally. Understanding the ecological balance and ensuring the preservation of biodiversity are crucial before worldwide planting of these trees. Cooperative research efforts are needed to explore these aspects and develop a comprehensive strategy for using these trees as a natural solution to climate change. This discovery in Kenya invites us to reconsider the potential of natural processes in addressing environmental challenges. While technological solutions to climate change are vital, integrating natural methods offers an alternative approach. The unique ability of these trees presents a promising method for exploration. The journey to fighting climate change is complex. As we dig deeper into understanding natural phenomena like the Kenyan trees, we must ask ourselves: How can we make the best of the power of nature to create a sustainable future for generations to come? 32. What is special about the trees found in Kenya? A. They absorb more CO2. B. They help turn CO2 into solids. C. They release oxygen quickly. D. They live in harmony with bacteria. 33. What is the core challenge before applying the discovery globally? A. Assessing the cost of the process. B. Understanding the impact on soil. C. Quantifying the CO2 transformation. D. Collecting the data on biodiversity. 34. What does the author try to explore in the last two paragraphs? A. The seriousness of climate change. B. The method of green development. C. The prospect of scientific approaches. D. The role of nature in climate solutions. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A defensive Strategy in Nature B. A Recent Advance in CO2 Research C. Kenyan Trees: A Natural Carbon Lock D. Tree Planting: A Key to Ecological Balance 【答案】3. B 33. C 34. D 35. C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍树木在维持生态平衡中的作用，重点阐述肯尼亚发现的特殊树木能将二氧化碳转化为碳酸钙以实现长期固碳的独特过程，同时提及当前研究面临的挑战，并指出该发现为利用自然方法应对气候变化提供了新思路。 32. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“These trees, also found in several other countries, have been observed to transform CO2 into calcium oxalate. Then bacteria (细菌) present in the trees and surrounding soil transform it further into calcium carbonate (碳酸钙), a primary component of limestone and chalk. The unique process ensures that the CO2 is kept in solid form for much longer, even after the tree’s life ends.(这类树木在其他几个国家也有分布，研究观察到它们能将二氧化碳转化为草酸钙。随后，树木内部及周围土壤中的细菌会进一步将草酸钙转化为碳酸钙 —— 石灰岩和白垩的主要成分。这一独特过程确保二氧化碳以固态形式被长期封存，即便树木寿命终结也不会轻易释放)”可知，肯尼亚发现的树木特殊之处在于，它们能通过一系列过程将二氧化碳转化为草酸钙，进而转化为碳酸钙，使二氧化碳以固态形式长期封存。故选B。 33. 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The primary concern is determining the exact amount of CO2 that these trees can transform throughout their lifetime. Without this accurate data, it is challenging to assess the full impact of this method globally.(首要问题是确定这类树木在其生命周期内可转化的二氧化碳精确量。若缺乏这一准确数据，将难以评估该方法在全球范围内的整体影响)”可知，在全球应用这一发现前，核心挑战是确定这类树木在生命周期内转化二氧化碳的精确量，即对二氧化碳转化量进行量化。故选C。 34. 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“This discovery in Kenya invites us to reconsider the potential of natural processes in addressing environmental challenges.(肯尼亚的这一发现，促使我们重新思考自然过程在应对环境挑战中的潜力)”以及最后一段“As we dig deeper into understanding natural phenomena like the Kenyan trees, we must ask ourselves: How can we make the best of the power of nature to create a sustainable future for generations to come?(当我们深入研究肯尼亚树木这类自然现象时，必须反问自己：如何充分利用自然的力量，为子孙后代创造一个可持续发展的未来？)”可知，作者在最后两段中，通过肯尼亚树木的发现，重点探讨了自然过程在应对气候变化、解决环境问题中的潜力与作用，强调应结合自然方法应对气候挑战。故选D。 35. 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“However, the discovery of certain trees in Kenya adds a new dimension to this natural process.

Her story got me thinking: How does resilience impact overall health and well-being? Resilience is our ability to bounce back from adversity. It’s defined as “the process and outcome of successfully adapting to difficult or challenging life experiences, especially through mental, emotional, and behavioral flexibility.” 37 And as it turns out, there are significant health benefits to being resilient. Physically, resilience contributes to health by reducing the negative impacts of stress on the body. Research indicates that individuals with higher levels of resilience tend to have lower rates of some diseases, and exhibit stronger immune system function. 38 For example, do exercise regularly and keep a balanced diet, which further support physical well-being. Mentally and emotionally, resilience serves as a protective factor against the development of mental health disorders like anxiety and depression. Resilient individuals are better equipped to manage stress and maintain a positive outlook. 39 Such emotional resilience not only enhances mental health but also improves relationships, productivity, and overall quality of life. 40 Resilient individuals are good at seeking help, offering assistance, and building strong social networks that serve as valuable resources during challenging times. These connections provide emotional support and practical assistance, promoting collective well-being. A. Generally, invest effort in communication. B. However, she expresses joy and gratitude frequently. C. But people are not born with high levels of resilience. D. Socially, resilience strengthens interpersonal connections. E. This helps them develop greater strength in the face of adversity. F. Resilient people like my sister find ways to adjust and move forward. G. Moreover, resilient individuals often engage in healthier lifestyle behaviors. 【答案】36. B 37. F 38. G 39. E 40.

It began when my car 41 nearby on a rainy Monday morning. While waiting for repairs, I took shelter there, ordering a black coffee just to 42 my presence. The next day, I dropped by again. The barista (咖啡师) remembered my 43 : “Large black, no sugar?” I nodded, surprised. That small recognition made me feel   44 in a city where I’d lived without being known for years. Soon, visiting the coffee shop became a 45 . Not for the coffee, but for the 46 : the professor grading papers, the young mother with her baby... We were all background characters in each other’s lives, yet our 47 visits formed an unspoken bond. Modern life has taught us to value 48 over community. We order deliveries to 49 traffic, stream movies to skip theaters, and work 50 to save commute (通勤) time. But in this ordinary coffee shop, I’d found what my smartphone could never provide — the comfort of 51 . Now I go there not when my car breaks down, but when my 52 does. The professor shares crossword clues; we celebrate the first steps of the young mother’s baby. Though we 53 briefly, the communication has become my steadfast anchor (精神支柱). Perhaps we all need a “third place” — not home, not work, but somewhere in between. A place where a simple “Your usual?” means “You 54 .” A place where community isn’t 55 , but just reflected in the steam of a coffee cup. 41.

Their gentle support has guided me through many hard moments in life. Once, I made a big mistake in my mid-term exam. I scored far below my usual level and even lied to them about the result at first, afraid of their disappointment. But when they found the test paper in my schoolbag, I lowered my head, waiting for a scolding (训斥). Instead, my father sat down beside me, patted my hand softly and said, “Mistakes are just lessons in disguise (伪装), dear. What matters is being honest and fixing what went wrong.” My mother brought me a cup of hot milk, adding, “We know you’ve been trying. Let’s go over the paper together tonight, okay?” Their words removed my anxiety like sunlight on ice. Another time, I fell in love with painting and spent almost all my after-school time on it, which made my homework pile up. My teacher even called my parents to talk about my poor grades. I thought they would take away my paintbrushes, but they only had a calm chat with me. “We love seeing you so fond of something,” my father said, “but balance is key-your studies lay the foundation for your future, and painting can be a wonderful break from it.” With their guidance, I made it a rule: finish homework first, and then paint for an hour. Soon, my grades improved, and my paintings even won a school award. Last month, I faced a tough choice; join the school’s art competition which would take weeks of practice or take extra classes to prepare for the upcoming physics exam. I hesitated, staying up late worrying about letting my parents down no matter what I chose. That night, I found a note on my desk. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I picked up the note and read my father’s handwriting carefully. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With their encouragement, I signed up for the art competition and made a study plan. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I picked up the note and read my father’s handwriting carefully. It said, “Dear, we know you’re stressed. Choose whatever makes you happy — art or physics. We’ll support you. Love painting? Don’t miss the competition. Worry about physics? We’ll help you review. You don’t have to be perfect. Just follow your heart.” Tears filled my eyes. I hugged them tightly, saying, “Thank you for understanding me.” In that warm hug, I felt the quiet strength of their love wrapping around me like a soft blanket. With their encouragement, I signed up for the art competition and made a study plan. Mornings were for physics formulas; evenings, I painted after homework. My parents bought me new brushes to cheer me on. On competition day, they waited outside with snacks. When I won second prize, my father lifted me up, and my mother took photos. Later, my physics exam went well. Looking at their smiles, I knew their tolerance was the best gift for my growth. That night I wrote the word “PATIENCE” on the first page of my notebook, promising to pass their gentle gift to the next pair of wondering hands. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者曾在一次期中考试中犯错，成绩远低于平时且起初对父母撒谎，父母发现后没有责备，而是鼓励其诚实并一起分析试卷；作者迷恋绘画致作业堆积，父母与其平静沟通，助其平衡学业与爱好；作者面临参加艺术比赛或准备物理考试的艰难抉择时，发现父母留下的鼓励纸条。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“我拿起那张纸条，仔细阅读了父亲的笔迹。”可知，第一段可以描写作者逐字读完的过程；重点刻画便条内容引起的心理波动。 ②由第二段句首内容“在他们的鼓励下，我报名参加了艺术比赛，并制定了学习计划。”可知，第二段可以描写作者如何行动：父母买画笔与场外守候的细节；最后以作者“传承这份耐心”，升华亲情对个人成长的深远影响。 2.续写线索：发现纸条——逐句品读——心理起伏——泪目拥抱——制定学习计划——父母全程陪伴——结果——庆祝——影响。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①支持某人：support sb./back sb. up/stand by sb. ② 拥抱：hug/embrace ③ 买：buy/purchase 情绪类 ① 担心：worry about/be concerned about ② 爱：love/affection 【点睛】【高分句型1】Choose whatever makes you happy — art or physics.(运用了whatever引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】When I won second prize, my father lifted me up, and my mother took photos.(运用了when引导的时间状语从句) 试卷第18页，共19页 试卷第1页，共19页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $高三英语期中模拟调研卷01（江苏卷） 英语答题卡 第四部分写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 名： 缺考 贴条形码区 准考证写 0 0 0 0 0 0 With their encouragement,I signed up for the art competition and made a study plan. 123 123 123 123 1 注意事项 3 123 123 3 23 1234 1,答题前，考生先将自己的姓名，准考证号码填写清楚， 井认真检查监考员所粘贴的条形码。 456 4 选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂；非选择题必须用05mm 4 4 4 4 4 黑色字迹的签字笔填写，字体工整 5 5 5 5 3,请按题号顺序在各题的答题区内作答，超出答藏区城范 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 56 围的答案无效，在草纸、试卷上作答无效。 4,保持卡面清洁，不要折叠、不要弄破、弄皱，不准使用 88888选搔（请用2B填涂） 6 AA ic 第二节（满分25分） iG I picked up the n 请勿在此区域内作答 4A11B1C11D 或者做任何标记 43jAjiBiiCiiDi 44IAIIBIICIID 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第二节（共10小题：每小题1.5分，满分15分） 56. 57. 58. 59. 62 63 64 请在各圈目的按题风城内作答，超出黑色矩形边框限定区域的答案无效！ 英语第1页（共4页》 英语英语试卷听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。听力测试正式开始。第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话仅读一遍。Oh, no, the car won't start again.

My name is Grace Collins, and i'm excited to share my experiences with you tonight. For the past ten years, i've worked to protect and restore natural ecosystems, particularly in a small island nation in the pacific. One of my proud test projects was creating a community program where local Fishermen could work together to monitor and protect the environment. These partnerships have shown me that successful conservation isn't just about using the latest tools or technologies, it's about building trust, respecting local traditions and finding ways to solve problems. Together, i've learned so much from the people i've worked with, and their knowledge has been key to bringing real change. Later in my talk, i'll introduce some new techniques we've recently developed to help speed up restoration efforts. But first, i'd like to tell you more about the work we did and what we learned along the way. After my presentation, i'd be happy to take any questions. Good evening, everyone.
