In a city of wealth, comfort and fine food, there’s a quiet alley (小巷) in London’s Camden where passers-by often take several photos. Sharing space with elegant cafes and world-class bars, a tiny fruit and vegetable stand seems to have been transported from a country road far away. But what makes the stall even more remarkable in the heart of Camden is that payment is on the honor system—customers just throw coins into an old mailbox—and most of the items on offer are priced at £1 in a neighborhood where fresh food usually goes for much, much more. The greengrocer with a heart of gold—a Chinese immigrant in her 50s who runs this stall alone—is rarely glimpsed by her grateful customers. Lena Wong rises before dawn to prepare to work in her small plot in Enfield, outside London. Depending on the season, she’ll reap onions, eggplant, green peppers, etc. And she works several overnight shifts every week at a nursing home to supplement her and her husband’s modest salaries. All this started one day as she was selling produce in Enfield, and a young customer said that he barely earned enough to buy food. “I hate the idea of young people walking around hungry,” Lena Wong said. The seed was planted. “I want young people to feel that they’re not forgotten, that they are treasured,” she said. “That not everyone is out for himself. I can make money anytime. Right now, I want to give young people a helping hand.” Sometimes, when she arrives late in the day, customers get a chance to thank her in person. In return, she’s fond of offering botanical sayings that she collected from a life that has had its share of both joy and pain. “Even in a field full of weeds,” Lena Wong likes to say, “you can grow something— if you put in the effort.” 4. Why is the stall in the quiet alley special? A. It is located in an expensive cafe. B. People often take good pictures there. C. It operates on a trust and credit system. D. The goods sold there come from distant places. 5. What can we learn about Lena Wong’s job? A. It requires her to work long hours. B. It pays well to support her family. C. It attracts widespread media attention. D. It focuses on organic produce. 6. Who inspired Lena Wong to help others? A. Her grateful customers. B. A hungry youth. C. Her modest husband. D. Some young people. 7. Which of the following best describes Lena Wong according to the text? A. Kind-hearted. B. Well-educated. C. Job-centered. D. Strong-willed. While you do the dishes or drive to work, your mind is likely not on the task at hand; perhaps you’re composing a grocery list or daydreaming about retiring in Italy. But research published in the Journal of Neuroscience suggests you might be taking in more than you think. In the study, participants practiced a simple task in which they pressed keyboard buttons corresponding to the direction of arrows that lit up on a screen. But there were patterns hidden within the task that the participants were unaware of — and they learned these patterns without consciously noticing them. The researchers found that when participants reported letting their minds wander, they adapted to the task’s hidden patterns significantly faster. “This is an exciting and important piece of work, especially because the authors opted for a nondemanding task to check how mind wandering would affect performance and learning,” says Athena Demertzi from the University of Liège in Belgium. Previous related research focused more on long and demanding tasks, she says — on which zoning out is typically shown to have a negative effect. But the results are not clear-cut, says Jonathan Smallwood, a psychology researcher at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. “I don’t think that this means the mind-wandering episodes themselves cause implicit (隐性) learning to occur, ” he says. “Rather, both emerge at the same time when people go into a particular state.” Neither Smallwood nor Demertzi was involved in the new study. Using EEG (脑电图) recordings, the team found that during the test periods, participants’ brains produced more of the slow waves that are dominant during sleep. “Perhaps mind wandering is like a form of light sleep that provides some of that state’s learning benefits,” says Péter Simor, lead author of the recent study. To better understand whether mind wandering might compensate (弥补) for lost sleep, Simor and his colleagues next plan to study sleep loss. 8. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By setting relatable scenes. B. By defining a new concept. C. By presenting a research timeline. D. By providing historical background. 9. According to Athen a Demertzi, what may happen if a task becomes more demanding? A. Mind wandering may increase. B. Zoning out may hurt performance. C. Hidden patterns may be easier to detect. D. Participants may adapt to the task faster. 10. What is Péter Simor doing with his remark in paragraph 5? A. Taking back an earlier claim. B. Ruling out Smallwood’s view. C. Presenting conclusive evidence. D. Offering a possible interpretation. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Why Our Minds Wander B. How to Stop Mind Wandering C. The Power of a Wandering Mind D. The Dangers of Mind Wandering As the wild shrinks, zoos are increasingly being looked to as modern-day arks (方舟): the last shelter against a rising tide of extinction. At the end of the 19th century the Cincinnati Zoo tried — unsuccessfully — to breed (培育) passenger pigeons, whose numbers were in sharp decline. And in the early 20th century, the Bronx Zoo started a program that helped save the wild bison. But zoos have to support themselves, and the sorts of animals that draw crowds are not necessarily the sorts that most need help. This makes prioritization unavoidable. “I think it’s a bit of a cop-out to say the public wants to see x, y, or z,” says Onnie Byers, chair of the Conservation Breeding Specialist Group. “This allows institutions to avoid making hard choices. Plenty of species need exactly the expertise that zoos can provide. I would love to see a trend toward zoos’ phasing out species that don’t need that care and using the space for species that do.” Under tight budgets, conservation programs tend to be led by large big-city zoos. But littler zoos are increasingly joining in. The Miller Park Zoo, one of the smallest zoos in the country, is hoping to figure out how to breed an endangered subspecies of squirrel which doesn’t require much space. Sadly, for every success story like the wild bison, there are dozens of other species hanging on the edge of extinction. The po‘ouli went extinct a year or two after the San Diego Zoo made a last-ditch (最后) effort to save it. When the final bird died, his body was immediately sent to a special room in the zoo. Along with thousands of other identical-looking containers, the tubes of po‘ouli cells represent what might be described as a beyond-the-last ditch conservation effort: the Frozen Zoo. For now, at least, all but one of the species in deep freeze still have flesh-and-blood members. But it seems safe to predict that in the coming years, more and more will go the way of the po‘ouli. After they die, they will, in a manner of speaking, live on — one last hope, suspended in a frozen cloud. 12. What does the underlined word “cop-out” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. A brave choice. B. A necessary step. C. A legal obligation. D. A convenient excuse. 13. Which case is presented as a conservation success? A. The wild bison at the Bronx Zoo. B. The po‘ouli at the San Diego Zoo. C. The passenger pigeon at the Cincinnati Zoo. D. The subspecies of squirrel at the Miller Park Zoo. 14. What do we know about the Frozen Zoo? A. It is a nonprofit for animal rights. B. It is a facility to store animal cells. C. It is a shelter for cold-climate animals. D. It is a program to breed endangered animals. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Zoos’ choices on what to save. B. Zoos’ role in animal conservation. C. The history of zoos' conservation work. D. The reasons why animals end up in zoos. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In our constant pursuit of productivity and achievement, we often overlook the quality of our daily experiences.

What if the key to a more fulfilling life isn’t about doing more, but about doing differently? ______16______ Activities actually can be divided into different categories. Understanding what each category truly is helps make better choices. Pleasing activities are low-effort, high-reward. You don’t need to plan them far in advance or clear out a full afternoon.

The smell of sizzling patties and crispy fries lingered (弥漫) in the air, and the place was packed with folks rushing to grab a quick meal. I’d just gotten off a long morning at work, and my stomach was empty as I finally reached the front of the line and got my order-a burger, fries, and a cold drink. As I set the tray (托盘) down on a small table by the window, I glanced over and saw two firefighters in the corner. Their uniforms were heavy with faint spots, like they’d just stepped away from a smoky scene, and their boots still held a hint of damp from the morning dew. They stood in the back of the line, shoulders relaxed but eyes tired. I was just about to pick up my burger-the cheese melted perfectly-when a loud, sharp siren (警报) cut through the noise of the restaurant. The two firefighters froze for half a second, and then moved. No hesitation, no exchange of words — just muscle memory. One grabbed his helmet off the nearby counter, the other adjusted his radio on his shoulder, and they turned toward the door, their steps quickening. I watched them go, and my fork paused mid-air. My empty stomach served as a quiet reminder of how long I’d waited for this meal. I’d stood in that line for 15 minutes, my feet aching from the morning’s work. Giving them my lunch meant I would have to wait again-maybe another line, maybe my break slipping away faster. I bit my lip, staring at the tray. Then I thought of their uniforms, the spots, the way they’d act upon hearing the siren like it was a call they couldn’t ignore. They didn’t get to pause for a meal when emergencies hit. They’d probably go hours without eating, running from one call to the next. 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。 My hesitation melted away. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went back to the counter, only to find the manager was waiting for me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 惠州市实验中学2026届高三(上)10月阶段性检测英语 考试时间：(2025年10月) 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 grabbed the tray and hurried after the two firefighters, calling out softly, “Excuse me!” They paused at the door, turning with slight surprise. I held out the tray, smiling, “You guys must be in a rush — take this. It’s not much, but it’ll keep you going.” One of them hesitated for a second, then nodded gratefully, taking the tray. “Thank you, really,” he said, before they rushed out into the street, the siren growing louder as they went. I stood there for a moment, my stomach still growling, but my chest felt light. I went back to the counter, only to find the manager was waiting for me. He smiled warmly, holding up a new tray with a burger, fries, and a drink. “Saw what you did for the firefighters,” he said, handing it over. “This one’s on the house. We need more people like you.” I was shocked, then grateful, taking the tray. “Thank you so much,” I replied. As I sat back down by the window, biting into the burger, the taste felt sweeter than before. Sometimes, giving up a small thing didn’t just help others — it filled your own heart, too. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
