Sharing a box of donuts with study partners. D. Keeping a sealed bottle of juice in the bag. B When Jonathan Kola met two students from MIT’s Sloan School of Management in his last year at Harvard, his life changed. The students were trying to found a company to improve recycling in Nigeria, but they needed someone who could handle the computer programming and other technical elements. Kola, an electrical engineering and computer science major at the Harvard was greatly inspired and he joined them part time. That start-up, Wecyclers, ended up influencing so many decisions Kola would make later in his career. Like the MIT students, he went on to business school, eventually getting his MBA from Stanford University. After graduating both SEAS and Stanford, Kola worked at Google as a cloud engineer for three years. He was fascinated by the company’s ongoing research into self-driving cars, but noticed that the streets those cars were tested on were of a much higher quality than in his home country. He eventually founded his own company, AMT Technologies. AMT produces an artificial intelligence-based driver safety platform, capable of detecting everything from potential crashes to distracted driving. Kola founded the company to address a major challenge in Africa, which has the highest rate of road deaths of any region in the world, with Kenya among the worst countries. Kola owes those deaths and injuries to a range of factors, from poorly maintained roads to a lack of enforcement of road rules to a high frequency of older cars. “A vehicle that rolls off the Ford production line in 2024 has so many bells and whistles with regards to safety, such as self-braking systems and crash warning,” he said. “But in Kenya, most of the vehicles that are imported tend to be at least seven years old, so they’ll have less complicated safety systems.” Kola said, “I’m always curious about new technologies, always trying to see what’s out there and how it could be applied to Kenya.” 4. How did Wecyclers influence Kola’s career choice? A. It inspired him to work at Google. B. It taught him technical skills. C. It provided him with financial support. D. It motivated him to pursue an MBA. 5. Why did Kola leave Google? A. He disliked the company’s focus on self-driving cars. B. He determined to tackle issues specific to his country. C. He aimed to earn higher pay by starting his own business. D. He wanted to compete with Ford’s vehicle safety systems. 6. What is the main function of AMT’ driver safety platform? A. To maintain roads in poor-condition areas. B. To upgrade outdated vehicle safety systems. C. To design self-braking systems for new vehicles. D. To detect potential crashes and distracted driving. 7. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Wealth and Wisdom: How Education Transforms Lives B. From Harvard to Google: A Journey of Academic Excellence C. Innovation with Purpose: Tech Solutions for Local Challenges D. The Future of Self-Driving Cars: A Kenyan Engineer’s Vision C Clown fish live their adult lives in the protective arms of sea anemones, the small brightly colored sea animals attached onto rocks to house clown fish. Between birth and adulthood, however, the fish have to complete a treacherous journey. After hatching, they swim out to the open sea to finish developing. After maturing, the young fish swim back, during which they have to avoid a “wall of mouths” by sensing the unfriendly smells. With ocean acidification, a trend that is occurring worldwide, scientists began to wonder what might happen to fish’s sense of smell. My team put 300 recently hatched clown fish in our lab. When we introduced a friendly fish odor (气味), they did not react. But when we introduced an enemy odor, they swam away. We then repeated the experiment with 300 new hatchlings from the same parents in the more acidic water-a level we can expect by the year 2100 if current trends continue. When we introduced friendly and unfriendly smells at the same time, the fish seemed unable to make up their minds, spending equal time swimming toward one smell and the other. They could sense chemical signals but couldn’t recognize the meaning of them. It is always tricky to say that behaviors seen in a lab would also be seen in the wild. So we went to a sandy lake near one of the Great Barrier Reef’s northern islands to test how wild-caught damselfish would react to enemy smells after exposing them to acidic water. In a tank, about half of them held in water with acidity expected by 2050 were attracted to the unfriendly odor and half were not, yet not one held in water anticipated by 2100 avoided being attracted to the enemy odor. We then let the marked damselfish loose in the lake. The fish once held in the most acidic water swam farther away from their protective home. Can fish adapt? Most studies have habituated fish to lifted acidic conditions over a few days or months-an extremely short length of time. The animals are not given a realistic opportunity to adapt. Yet some scientists thought that fish might escape the anger of ocean acidification, in part because early research done in the 1980s showed that certain animals had an astonishing ability to regulate their internal chemistry to survive acidified water. But maintaining normal functions such as avoiding danger is a different challenge. At a minimum, confusion could place yet another stressor on fish already challenged by rising water temperatures, overfishing, etc. Further, if many ocean creatures start to behave strangely, entire food webs and ecosystems could come crashing down. Although the science is still new, the results appear to be lining up: ocean acidification is messing with fish’s minds. 8. What does the underlined word “treacherous” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Risky. B. Hurried. C. Mysterious. D. Helpless. 9. What can we learn about the fish in the acidic water? A. They lost their senses to chemical signals. B. They were less likely to respond to threats. C. Their behavior in the lab disappeared in the wild. D. They tended to seek the protection from their home. 10. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The author’s study confirms previous findings. B. Fish’s adaptation to acidic water is a matter of time. C. Different fishes behave differently to acidity change. D. The chances of restoring fish’s minds are yet to be seen. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. What Do Different Stressors Do to Ocean Creatures? B. What Does Ocean Acidity Mean to Ocean Creatures? C. How Does Ocean Acidification Destroy the Ecosystem? D. How Do Ocean Creatures Adapt to Ocean Acidification? D While rose flowers remain symbolically cherished on Valentine’s Day, their fate afterward poses both ecological and practical challenges — a problem food scientist Anand Mohan addresses through innovative sound-wave applications. His research at the University of Georgia explores how ultrasound technology, traditionally used to extend shelf life in processed foods, could transform post-holiday flowers into useful resources rather than landfill waste. Fresh flowers, composed largely of water, face rapid decay under conventional storage methods. Traditional drying techniques, such as warm-air dehydration, often degrade their vivid shades and delicate structures over extended periods. Ultrasound, however, accelerates this process by generating heat through high-frequency vibrations, efficiently removing moisture while preserving color intensity and nutritional content. Furthermore, this technique also enables the extraction of hidden compounds — proteinis, vitamins, and antioxidants — that flowers naturally contain. When Mohan began his research, the original goal was to find new ways to extend the shelf life of beef. His lab found that roses contain an antioxidant that could keep beef fresh for longer, which then redirected his focus toward wider applications. Eatable varieties like broccoli flowers, rich in protein, could enhance plant-based foods, while hibiscus (芙蓉花) extracts might replace artificial additives in biodegradable packaging. Such innovations challenge the perception of flowers as temporary decoration, repositioning them as multi-functional ingredients. Seasonal blooms, if processed using sound waves, could supply year-round materials — natural food colorants, preservatives, or nutrient boosters — for diverse industries. Although the discovery of this technique is encouraging, realizing its full potential remains difficult due to prohibitive ultrasonic equipment costs and rooted public perceptions undervaluing flowers beyond pure decorations. One possible solution is industry partnerships to share financial burdens. Pioneering firms must first invest to drive a broader adoption of the technique. Only when physical products are right before people’s eyes will they recognize blooms as sustainable resources rather than short-lived beauty. As Mohan concludes, “Every petal (花瓣) holds potential — we’re merely unlocking stories that continue long after Valentine’s Day.” 12. What is an advantage of ultrasonic flower processing? A. Preventing water loss. B. Reducing production cost. C. Enhancing natural fragrance. D. Keeping beneficial elements. 13. Why are broccoli flowers and hibiscus mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To demonstrate broader uses of flowers. B. To emphasize their high protein content. C. To compare the benefits of different flowers. D. To advocate the inclusion of flowers in diets. 14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Physical products will enter the market soon. B. Public awareness still requires transformation. C. Local governments will fund pioneering firms. D. Ultrasound drying technique has been widely applied. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Secret to Keeping Flowers Fresh B. Consumer Waste Ends with Tech C. Petals to Products via Ultrasound D. Advance in Ultrasound Technology 第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In the digital age, it’s quite easy to access anything you want right away through your digital devices — including books. ___16___ They’re better for your eyes. The blue light from screens can be harmful to your eyes. Studies have shown that light can actually harm the eyes. Staring at a screen for too long can cause redness and dryness. ___17___ You’ll keep more information. A 2014 study found that readers who use printed books absorb more information than those who read digitally on e-readers. Holding a physical book in your hands helps you stay focused. ___18___ Scientists owe this better absorption to the tactile (触觉的) experience of holding the book, as well as the fact that readers could see their progression easier in a physical book. ___19___ Whether you’re reading on an iPhone, Kindle, or some other devices, digital e-readers typically mean you have the Internet at your fingertips, As a result, it can easily cause you to surf the web. Having a physical book prevents you from quickly jumping to a new page or responding to a notification, meaning you’ll be less likely to get disturbed by other things. Physical books improve your sleep habits. Routine research has shown that the blue light from screens and devices change our melatonin (褪黑激素) levels and circadian (生理节奏的) cycles. ___20___ Therefore, you’ ll have more difficulty enjoying a good night’s rest. Instead of reading an e-book, choose a physical copy that is gentler on your eyes and sleep schedule. A. It also allows you to remember more. B. You’ll be more likely to get focused. C. It can weaken your ability to fall asleep at night. D. However, blue light tells your brain that you should be awake. E. It’s impossible to ignore the popularity of digital entertainment. F. Luckily, with printed books, this is not something to worry about. G. With the growing popularity of e-books, it’s worth considering the benefits of physical ones. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空（共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) Born in Hamburg, Germany, in 1833, Brahms soon expressed a keen interest in music and displayed unusual talent.

As Lily and Sunny boarded the No.17 bus, especially intended for serving the local residents living in the community, uneasy murmurs immediately rippled through the crowd. A teenager pulled up his feet while a woman frowned holding a baby tightly. “Dogs aren’t allowed!” someone shouted from the back row. “Service animals are permitted,” the driver silenced the loudest protest, “She is a new comer in our community.” The crowd saw Sunny guide Lily past a middle-aged woman’s perfume cloud to the priority seat, his nose expertly avoiding a potato chip wrapper. Lily was seated, Sunny lying at her feet, silent and still. The bus started. “The giant guy is gentle, isn’t it?” the young mother asked seriously. “Of course he is,” Lily smiled, “This is his first ride, but he is my second one.” Then Lily shared the stories about her dogs and her. Lily was born with a rare type of childhood eye cancer. She had to have her eyes removed at a young age. When Lily started her first job she had to use a walking stick to get to work at a bank in the West End, which was too stressful. So she decided to turn to The Guide Dogs, a non-profit organization, mainly supported by donations of individuals. Wendy was Lily’s first dog. He helped Lily to embrace the world of work and life more confidently and independently. Wendy accompanied her for about five years. “Thanks to The Guide Dogs, I managed to meet with Wendy and Sunny.” Lily’s hand instinctively touched Sunny’s warm fur. “Nearly two out of three guide dogs are funded by the public donors. People can help provide the guide dogs of the future, as well as expand other services.” At that time, the bus stopped. Sunny led Lily off the bus cautiously and skillfully. The driver carried onward with the neighbors. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 The next day, the No.17 bus door opened again and Lily and Sunny got on the bus. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One month later, Lily received a letter of appreciation from The Guide Dogs. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 石家庄实验中学2026届高三年级第一学期期中考试 英语 命题：高三英语 考试时间：120分钟 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) 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。 1．When will the last train depart?

The students were trying to found a company to improve recycling in Nigeria, but they needed someone who could handle the computer programming and other technical elements. Kola, an electrical engineering and computer science major at the Harvard was greatly inspired and he joined them part time. That start-up, Wecyclers, ended up influencing so many decisions Kola would make later in his career. Like the MIT students, he went on to business school, eventually getting his MBA from Stanford University. After graduating both SEAS and Stanford, Kola worked at Google as a cloud engineer for three years. He was fascinated by the company’s ongoing research into self-driving cars, but noticed that the streets those cars were tested on were of a much higher quality than in his home country. He eventually founded his own company, AMT Technologies. AMT produces an artificial intelligence-based driver safety platform, capable of detecting everything from potential crashes to distracted driving. Kola founded the company to address a major challenge in Africa, which has the highest rate of road deaths of any region in the world, with Kenya among the worst countries. Kola owes those deaths and injuries to a range of factors, from poorly maintained roads to a lack of enforcement of road rules to a high frequency of older cars. “A vehicle that rolls off the Ford production line in 2024 has so many bells and whistles with regards to safety, such as self-braking systems and crash warning,” he said. “But in Kenya, most of the vehicles that are imported tend to be at least seven years old, so they’ll have less complicated safety systems.” Kola said, “I’m always curious about new technologies, always trying to see what’s out there and how it could be applied to Kenya.” 4. How did Wecyclers influence Kola’s career choice? A. It inspired him to work at Google. B. It taught him technical skills. C. It provided him with financial support. D. It motivated him to pursue an MBA. 5. Why did Kola leave Google? A. He disliked the company’s focus on self-driving cars. B. He determined to tackle issues specific to his country. C. He aimed to earn higher pay by starting his own business. D. He wanted to compete with Ford’s vehicle safety systems. 6. What is the main function of AMT’ driver safety platform? A. To maintain roads in poor-condition areas. B. To upgrade outdated vehicle safety systems. C. To design self-braking systems for new vehicles. D. To detect potential crashes and distracted driving. 7. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Wealth and Wisdom: How Education Transforms Lives B. From Harvard to Google: A Journey of Academic Excellence C. Innovation with Purpose: Tech Solutions for Local Challenges D. The Future of Self-Driving Cars: A Kenyan Engineer’s Vision 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了 Jonathan Kola从哈佛学生到科技企业家的成长历程。他在哈佛期间参与初创企业 We cyclers，受MIT学生启发攻读MBA，后入职谷歌研究自动驾驶技术，但最终选择离开并创立AMT Technologies，致力于通过人工智能驾驶安全平台解决非洲(尤其是肯尼亚)的高交通事故率问题。文章强调了他将技术创新与本土社会需求结合的使命感。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Like the MIT students, he went on to business school, eventually getting his MBA from Stanford University. (像麻省理工学院的学生一样，他去了商学院，最终在斯坦福大学获得了MBA学位。)”可知，We cyclers的经历促使 Kola选择与MIT 学生相似的职业路径，即攻读 MBA。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“He was fascinated by the company’s ongoing research into self-driving cars, but noticed that the streets those cars were tested on were of a much higher quality than in his home country. He eventually founded his own company, AMT Technologies. (他对该公司正在进行的自动驾驶汽车研究非常着迷，但他注意到，这些汽车所测试的街道的质量要比他的祖国高得多。他最终成立了自己的公司AMT Technologies。)”以及第四段“Kola founded the company to address a major challenge in Africa, which has the highest rate of road deaths of any region in the world, with Kenya among the worst countries. (科拉创立这家公司是为了应对非洲面临的一个重大挑战。非洲是世界上交通事故死亡率最高的地区，其中肯尼亚是交通事故最严重的国家之一。)”可推断，Kola离开谷歌是为了解决祖国面临的独特挑战。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“AMT produces an artificial intelligence-based driver safety platform, capable of detecting everything from potential crashes to distracted driving. (AMT生产了一个基于人工智能的驾驶员安全平台，能够检测从潜在碰撞到分心驾驶的一切。)”可知，AMT驾驶员安全平台的主要功能是检测潜在的撞车事故和分心驾驶。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“AMT produces an artificial intelligence-based driver safety platform, capable of detecting everything from potential crashes to distracted driving. (AMT生产了一个基于人工智能的驾驶员安全平台，能够检测从潜在碰撞到分心驾驶的一切。)”以及全文围绕 Kola将技术创新应用于解决本土社会问题，如非洲高交通事故率而展开。故C选项“目的性创新：应对当地挑战的技术解决方案”最符合文章标题。故选C。 C Clown fish live their adult lives in the protective arms of sea anemones, the small brightly colored sea animals attached onto rocks to house clown fish. Between birth and adulthood, however, the fish have to complete a treacherous journey. After hatching, they swim out to the open sea to finish developing. After maturing, the young fish swim back, during which they have to avoid a “wall of mouths” by sensing the unfriendly smells. With ocean acidification, a trend that is occurring worldwide, scientists began to wonder what might happen to fish’s sense of smell. My team put 300 recently hatched clown fish in our lab. When we introduced a friendly fish odor (气味), they did not react. But when we introduced an enemy odor, they swam away. We then repeated the experiment with 300 new hatchlings from the same parents in the more acidic water-a level we can expect by the year 2100 if current trends continue. When we introduced friendly and unfriendly smells at the same time, the fish seemed unable to make up their minds, spending equal time swimming toward one smell and the other. They could sense chemical signals but couldn’t recognize the meaning of them. It is always tricky to say that behaviors seen in a lab would also be seen in the wild. So we went to a sandy lake near one of the Great Barrier Reef’s northern islands to test how wild-caught damselfish would react to enemy smells after exposing them to acidic water. In a tank, about half of them held in water with acidity expected by 2050 were attracted to the unfriendly odor and half were not, yet not one held in water anticipated by 2100 avoided being attracted to the enemy odor. We then let the marked damselfish loose in the lake. The fish once held in the most acidic water swam farther away from their protective home. Can fish adapt? Most studies have habituated fish to lifted acidic conditions over a few days or months-an extremely short length of time. The animals are not given a realistic opportunity to adapt. Yet some scientists thought that fish might escape the anger of ocean acidification, in part because early research done in the 1980s showed that certain animals had an astonishing ability to regulate their internal chemistry to survive acidified water. But maintaining normal functions such as avoiding danger is a different challenge. At a minimum, confusion could place yet another stressor on fish already challenged by rising water temperatures, overfishing, etc. Further, if many ocean creatures start to behave strangely, entire food webs and ecosystems could come crashing down. Although the science is still new, the results appear to be lining up: ocean acidification is messing with fish’s minds. 8. What does the underlined word “treacherous” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Risky. B. Hurried. C. Mysterious. D. Helpless. 9. What can we learn about the fish in the acidic water? A. They lost their senses to chemical signals. B. They were less likely to respond to threats. C. Their behavior in the lab disappeared in the wild. D. They tended to seek the protection from their home. 10. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The author’s study confirms previous findings. B. Fish’s adaptation to acidic water is a matter of time. C Different fishes behave differently to acidity change. D. The chances of restoring fish’s minds are yet to be seen. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. What Do Different Stressors Do to Ocean Creatures? B. What Does Ocean Acidity Mean to Ocean Creatures? C. How Does Ocean Acidification Destroy the Ecosystem? D. How Do Ocean Creatures Adapt to Ocean Acidification? 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章通过科研团队对小丑鱼和小热带鱼的实验和研究，说明了海洋酸化正在搅乱海洋生物的思维，对它们产生了较大的影响。 【8题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段“After hatching, they swim out to the open sea to finish developing. After maturing, the young fish swim back, during which they have to avoid a “wall of mouths” by sensing the unfriendly smells. ”（孵化后，它们游到大海中完成发育。成年后，幼鱼会游回来，在此期间，它们必须通过感知不友好的气味来避开“口墙”。）可知，小丑鱼出生后要独自去大海中生活，成年后才能回来，这期间随时都有被其他生物吃掉的可能，有着较大的风险，可谓是一场有风险的旅程。故划线词“treacherous”表示“有风险的”。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When we introduced friendly and unfriendly smells at the same time, the fish seemed unable to make up their minds, spending equal time swimming toward one smell and the other. They could sense chemical signals but couldn’t recognize the meaning of them.”（当我们同时引入友好和不友好的气味时，鱼似乎无法下定决心，花同样的时间游向一种气味和另一种气味。他们可以感知化学信号，但不能识别它们的意义。）可知，鱼在酸性水中，不太能识别不友好的具有威胁性的气味。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“But maintaining normal functions such as avoiding danger is a different challenge.”（但维持正常功能，如避免危险则是另一种挑战。）和最后一段“Although the science is still new, the results appear to be lining up: ocean acidification is messing with fish’s minds.”（虽然这门科学还是新兴的，但结果似乎是一致的：海洋酸化正在扰乱鱼类的思维。）可知，海洋酸化正在扰乱鱼的思维，使鱼很难避免危险，所以恢复鱼的思维的可能性还有待观察。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“With ocean acidification, a trend that is occurring worldwide, scientists began to wonder what might happen to fish’s sense of smell.”（随着全球范围内海洋酸化的趋势，科学家们开始想知道鱼类的嗅觉会发生什么。）和最后一段“Although the science is still new, the results appear to be lining up: ocean acidification is messing with fish’s minds.”（虽然这门科学还是新兴的，但结果似乎是一致的：海洋酸化正在扰乱鱼类的思维。）及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了海洋酸化对海洋生物产生的影响。故选B。 D While rose flowers remain symbolically cherished on Valentine’s Day, their fate afterward poses both ecological and practical challenges — a problem food scientist Anand Mohan addresses through innovative sound-wave applications. His research at the University of Georgia explores how ultrasound technology, traditionally used to extend shelf life in processed foods, could transform post-holiday flowers into useful resources rather than landfill waste. Fresh flowers, composed largely of water, face rapid decay under conventional storage methods. Traditional drying techniques, such as warm-air dehydration, often degrade their vivid shades and delicate structures over extended periods. Ultrasound, however, accelerates this process by generating heat through high-frequency vibrations, efficiently removing moisture while preserving color intensity and nutritional content. Furthermore, this technique also enables the extraction of hidden compounds — proteinis, vitamins, and antioxidants — that flowers naturally contain. When Mohan began his research, the original goal was to find new ways to extend the shelf life of beef. His lab found that roses contain an antioxidant that could keep beef fresh for longer, which then redirected his focus toward wider applications. Eatable varieties like broccoli flowers, rich in protein, could enhance plant-based foods, while hibiscus (芙蓉花) extracts might replace artificial additives in biodegradable packaging. Such innovations challenge the perception of flowers as temporary decoration, repositioning them as multi-functional ingredients. Seasonal blooms, if processed using sound waves, could supply year-round materials — natural food colorants, preservatives, or nutrient boosters — for diverse industries. Although the discovery of this technique is encouraging, realizing its full potential remains difficult due to prohibitive ultrasonic equipment costs and rooted public perceptions undervaluing flowers beyond pure decorations. One possible solution is industry partnerships to share financial burdens. Pioneering firms must first invest to drive a broader adoption of the technique. Only when physical products are right before people’s eyes will they recognize blooms as sustainable resources rather than short-lived beauty. As Mohan concludes, “Every petal (花瓣) holds potential — we’re merely unlocking stories that continue long after Valentine’s Day.” 12. What is an advantage of ultrasonic flower processing? A. Preventing water loss. B. Reducing production cost. C. Enhancing natural fragrance. D. Keeping beneficial elements. 13. Why are broccoli flowers and hibiscus mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To demonstrate broader uses of flowers. B. To emphasize their high protein content. C. To compare the benefits of different flowers. D. To advocate the inclusion of flowers in diets. 14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Physical products will enter the market soon. B. Public awareness still requires transformation. C. Local governments will fund pioneering firms. D. Ultrasound drying technique has been widely applied. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Secret to Keeping Flowers Fresh B. Consumer Waste Ends with Tech C. Petals to Products via Ultrasound D. Advance in Ultrasound Technology 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是Anand Mohan如何利用超声波技术将废弃花卉转化为有价值资源的研究，探讨了该技术的潜力、面临的挑战以及未来的发展方向。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Ultrasound, however, accelerates this process by generating heat through high-frequency vibrations, efficiently removing moisture while preserving color intensity and nutritional content. Furthermore, this technique also enables the extraction of hidden compounds—proteinis, vitamins, and antioxidants— that flowers naturally contain.(然而，超声波通过高频振动产生热量来加速这一过程，有效地去除水分，同时保持颜色强度和营养成分。此外，这项技术还可以提取隐藏的化合物——蛋白质、维生素和抗氧化剂——这些都是鲜花天然含有的。)”可知，超声波花卉处理的优点是保持有益元素。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“His lab found that roses contain an antioxidant that could keep beef fresh for longer, which then redirected his focus toward wider applications. Eatable varieties like broccoli flowers, rich in protein, could enhance plant-based foods, while hibiscus (芙蓉花) extracts might replace artificial additives in biodegradable packaging.(他的实验室发现，玫瑰中含有一种抗氧化剂，能够延长牛肉的保鲜期，这一发现促使他将研究重点转向更广泛的应用领域。例如，西兰花等可食用花卉品种富含蛋白质，可用于强化植物基食品；而芙蓉花提取物则可能替代生物可降解包装材料中的人工添加剂。)”可知，在第三段中提到了花椰菜和芙蓉花是为了展示花的更广泛用途。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although the discovery of this technique is encouraging, realizing its full potential remains difficult due to prohibitive ultrasonic equipment costs and rooted public perceptions undervaluing flowers beyond pure decorations.(尽管这项技术的发现令人鼓舞，但由于超声波设备成本高昂，以及公众长期形成的观念（即认为花卉仅具有纯粹的装饰价值）根深蒂固，要充分发挥该技术的潜力仍然困难重重。)”可知，从最后一段可以推断出公众意识仍然需要转变。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“His research at the University of Georgia explores how ultrasound technology, traditionally used to extend shelf life in processed foods, could transform post-holiday flowers into useful resources rather than landfill waste.(他在佐治亚大学的研究探索了传统上用于延长加工食品保质期的超声波技术如何将节后鲜花转化为有用的资源，而不是填埋垃圾。)”可知，本文主要讲的是Anand Mohan如何利用超声波技术将废弃花卉转化为有价值资源的研究，探讨了该技术的潜力、面临的挑战以及未来的发展方向，因此最恰当的题目是C选项“Petals to Products via Ultrasound(超声波技术：让花瓣蜕变为实用产品)”。故选C。 第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In the digital age, it’s quite easy to access anything you want right away through your digital devices — including books. ___16___ They’re better for your eyes.

As Lily and Sunny boarded the No.17 bus, especially intended for serving the local residents living in the community, uneasy murmurs immediately rippled through the crowd. A teenager pulled up his feet while a woman frowned holding a baby tightly. “Dogs aren’t allowed!” someone shouted from the back row. “Service animals are permitted,” the driver silenced the loudest protest, “She is a new comer in our community.” The crowd saw Sunny guide Lily past a middle-aged woman’s perfume cloud to the priority seat, his nose expertly avoiding a potato chip wrapper. Lily was seated, Sunny lying at her feet, silent and still. The bus started. “The giant guy is gentle, isn’t it?” the young mother asked seriously. “Of course he is,” Lily smiled, “This is his first ride, but he is my second one.” Then Lily shared the stories about her dogs and her. Lily was born with a rare type of childhood eye cancer. She had to have her eyes removed at a young age. When Lily started her first job, she had to use a walking stick to get to work at a bank in the West End, which was too stressful. So she decided to turn to The Guide Dogs, a non-profit organization, mainly supported by donations of individuals. Wendy was Lily’s first dog. He helped Lily to embrace the world of work and life more confidently and independently. Wendy accompanied her for about five years. “Thanks to The Guide Dogs, I managed to meet with Wendy and Sunny.” Lily’s hand instinctively touched Sunny’s warm fur. “Nearly two out of three guide dogs are funded by the public donors. People can help provide the guide dogs of the future, as well as expand other services.” At that time, the bus stopped. Sunny led Lily off the bus cautiously and skillfully. The driver carried onward with the neighbors. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 The next day, the No.17 bus door opened again and Lily and Sunny got on the bus. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One month later, Lily received a letter of appreciation from The Guide Dogs. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The next day, the No.17 bus door opened again and Lily and Sunny got on the bus. Unlike the previous day, the crowd greeted them with warm smiles. The young mother holding a baby waved and said, “Sunny, you’re here!” A teenager even moved aside to let them take the priority seat easily. An elderly man handed Lily a small bag of snacks, saying, “For you and your good helper.” Lily thanked everyone happily, and Sunny wagged his tail gently, as if responding to the kindness. The bus ride this time was filled with friendly chats, not uneasy murmurs. One month later, Lily received a letter of appreciation from The Guide Dogs. The letter said that many residents of her community had donated to the organization after hearing her story on the No.17 bus. Some even volunteered to help train guide dogs. The donations would help more visually impaired people get guide dogs like Sunny. Lily was deeply touched. She stroked Sunny’s head and whispered, “Look, our small bus ride has brought so much help to others.” Sunny nuzzled her hand, as if understanding her joy. 【解析】 【导语】文章以Lily和导盲犬Sunny乘坐公交车展开，讲述了他们上车后人们都在小声议论，认为狗不应该上公交车。司机用“服务犬允许乘坐公交车”使人群安静下来，此后Lily和邻座分享她和Sunny的故事以及导盲犬的相关知识。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①根据第一段首句“第二天，17路公交车的门又开了，Lily和Sunny上了车。”并结合上文Lily和邻座分享的内容推测，接下来可描写大家的态度与昨天完全不同，大家都很欢迎他们，他们在车上高兴地交谈。 ②根据第二段首句“一个月后，Lily收到了导盲犬协会的一封感谢信。”推测接下来可描写感谢信的内容（社区居民得知导盲犬的事情后，纷纷向导盲犬协会捐款，并提供帮助）以及Lily的感悟。 2.续写线索：第二天坐车——人们热情地欢迎他们——Lily和大家快乐的聊天——受到导盲犬协会的感谢信——信的主要内容——Lily的感悟 3.词类激活 行为类 ①递给：hand/pass ②说：say/put ③抚摸：stroke/pet 情绪类 ①令人不适的：uneasy/uncomfortable ②快乐：joy/happiness 【点睛】【高分句型1】An elderly man handed Lily a small bag of snacks, saying, “For you and your good helper.” （运用了现在分词作状语） 【高分句型2】The letter said that many residents of her community had donated to the organization after hearing her story on the No.17 bus.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
