People around the world have enjoyed exciting and meaningful sports since ancient times. Here are some examples of ancient sports from different cultures. Egyptian Pharaohs’ Running Race In ancient Egypt, kings demonstrated their physical strength by running during the Sed Festival. This special event took place after a king had ruled for 30 years. For example, Pharaoh Djoser ran around the temple for a long time to prove he was still healthy and strong. Minoan Bull-Leaping The Minoan people created a very dangerous sport called bull-leaping. In this event, athletes would run directly at a charging bull, grab its horns (角) and leap over its back. Wall paintings from the Palace of Knossos show these exciting scenes. Mesopotamian Wrestling Ancient Mesopotamians practiced wrestling and boxing. Stone carvings show strong fighters wearing skirts during matches. These matches were intense with fighters wrestling like wild animals. Ancient Chinese Archery (射箭) In the Zhou Dynasty’s royal education, archery was a required skill for men. Competitions, called “sheyi”, were held with strict rules and ceremonies. To win, a person needed both physical skill and qualities such as grace, self-control and respect. These contests often took place in temples and served to promote moral values and social order. Although ancient sports varied widely in form and intent, they universally highlighted the value of skill. Beyond mere competition, these activities were deeply integrated into their societies, reflecting cultural beliefs and shaping a sense of community. 1. What do Minoan bull-leaping and Mesopotamian wrestling have in common? A. They followed strict ceremonies. B. They were created to honor kings. C. They were physically demanding. D. They included fighting against animals. 2. What is special about ancient Chinese archery? A. It had flexible rules. B. It helped build character. C. It encouraged self-expression. D. It served as public entertainment. 3. What is the purpose of the text? A. To stress the importance of sports. B. To inform readers of modern sports. C. To discuss the possible origins of sports. D. To show some ancient sports and their cultural value. B From an early age, Edward Norton was taught what protecting the environment really requires. His father, an environmental lawyer, founded the Grand Canyon Trust and his grandfather was a pioneer in low-income housing policy. Norton built his own career in a different field, becoming one of his generation’s most respected actors. When Norton first became famous, he concluded that he wasn’t interested in ordinary celebrity ambassador work. “I am not interested in being some weak sauce kind of spokesperson,” he says. “It’s not that I don’t believe those things are important, but that held no nourishment for me.” What does nourish Norton is his work with a Kenya-based organization called the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust which helps the Maasai people to make a living from their land through innovative means. One project that Norton is particularly proud of channels profits from the sale of carbon offsets (碳补偿) to local Maasai communities who use that money to support health, education, and conservation initiatives. One challenge that concerns Norton would be familiar to his father and grandfather: raising funds. This led Norton to a realization. “We can’t have the conservation movement depend only on donor-funded charity,” he says, “It not only can’t scale; it’s fundamentally unstable.” A new model is needed. Norton and his partners argue that tourist dollars being spent in fragile places ought to remain in-country — or better yet, in-community. Norton and his team have started a company called Conservation Equity that will invest in tourism in critical places and will reinvest its profits locally, instead of paying distant shareholders. Norton is optimistic about the model’s prospects, “I think what we are doing has no previous example to follow. The needs of people are not going to take a lower priority to the spiritual value of nature. If protecting and restoring nature can’t produce a stronger and more reliable economy, the effort will fail.” 4. How did Norton feel about being a typical celebrity spokesperson? A. Enthusiastic. B. Tolerant. C. Dissatisfied. D. Confused. 5. What is Norton’s main concern about the conservation movement? A. Expansion of its public influence. B. Lack of a stable source of funding. C. Failure to meet the needs of local communities. D. Repetition of the faults of previous generations. 6. What is special about Norton’s new model of conservation? A. Downplaying the value of nature. B. Raising funds from distant donors. C. Focusing on local children’s education. D. Benefiting local economic development. 7. Which of the following words best describe Norton? A. Confident and honest. B. Generous and talented. C. Practical and pioneering. D. Ambitious and conventional. C It’s a familiar scene: You assure your parents you’ll leave for school in “just five minutes”, or confidently plan to memorize 50 words in an hour. Yet reality hits. You’re ten minutes late, breathless at the classroom’s front door. And of the fifty words? You managed barely twenty. So why do we keep misjudging time so badly? You’re not alone, and you’re not simply bad at planning. Most of us suffer from what is called the planning fallacy（谬误）, a concept introduced by psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky. It describes how we consistently underestimate the time to complete a task, often accompanied by a failure to account for effort and risk, even if it contradicts our experiences. This happens because people tend to imagine the ideal situation and omit real-world challenges. Imagine trying to finish a math worksheet before evening study session. You picture yourself focused and finishing it in thirty minutes. But reality is different. You get stuck on a tough problem, look for your textbook, and check your phone “just once”, and suddenly an hour has passed. Before you know it, you’re rushing to complete the work, feeling stressed, and worried about how others will perceive your delay. So, what can you do? First, instead of thinking about the task, use data. Ask: how long did similar tasks take last time — not just the writing, but the thinking, searching, revising? Second, break big goals into small, more predictable steps and estimate the duration of each one. It’s easier to estimate “answer the first three multiple-choice questions” than “finish biology homework”. Third, don’t just add a fixed number to your estimate; adjust by percentages because larger tasks scale differently. A 10-minute task might need 5 extra minutes while a 2-hour task might need 30. The next time you catch yourself thinking “this will just take a few minutes”, pause for a moment and remind yourself of the planning fallacy. The goal is, however, not to become pessimistic about your capabilities, but to become realistic about the complexities of the real world. Your future self will thank you. 8. What phenomenon does the planning fallacy mainly describe? A. Anxiety over future plans. B. Frequent mistakes in daily life. C. Misjudgment about task duration. D. Failure to reflect on past experiences. 9. What does the underlined word “omit” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Meet. B. Accept. C. Handle. D. Ignore. 10. Which of the following is a solution to the planning fallacy? A. Dividing a project into smaller parts. B. Doing more research before acting. C. Adding at least five more minutes to a task. D. Following the same time estimate as before. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. How Perfectionism Fools Us. B. Closing the Planning Gap. C. Why Realism Is So Important. D. Breaking the Deadline Cycle. 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? 12. 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. 13. 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. 14. 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. 15. 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。 Resolving (解决) Conflict in Friendships Conflict is surely a common problem in life and friendships.___16___ That's because there isn't enough depth to guarantee all the trouble it takes to smooth over the disagreement. Unfortunately, even when the friendship reaches a deeper level, conflict continues to happen and can break apart a relationship. Here are some resolutions. Resolve it the day it happens. One rule my parents follow in their marriage is that they don't go to bed angry with each other. They always attempt to resolve things the day it happens so that in the morning, it's a fresh start with no past grudge (怨恨). I've found I need a short cool down period so that I don't act in anger.___17___ Whatever you do, don't let things ride for too long. ___18___ Sometimes if you sit down and talk things over, you begin to see where the other person is coming from. Realize that everyone has been created differently with various talents, abilities, and personality traits. For example, you might be a leader while your friend is more of a follower. You may be frustrated with him or her for not being very decisive. Yet it is important to understand that each person is unique and needs to be appreciated. Initiate resolution. ___19___ Even when you think the other person is wrong，it's not a bad thing to say "I'm sorry if I offended you in that way." If you're honest and genuine in delivering your words, there's a good chance your friend will respond positively. Most importantly, be loving in what you do. Try to focus on peacefully resolving the disagreement. It is not a most pleasant task to resolve conflict in any friendship. ___20___ A. Don't expect too much. B. Try to see the other person's perspective. C. Be the first person in a fight to say sorry for your part. D. Many shallow friendships end up being ruined after an argument. E. To say sorry bravely when a conflict breaks out is a better resolution. F. However, it is worth the efforts because it results in a deeper friendship. G. For some, counting to one hundred before saying anything may be an option. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳 选项。 Sixteen-year-old Priya stared at the robotics club’s “Innovation Challenge” poster.

The desire to stand out consumed me. Toby’s raised hands always lit up teachers’ eyes. Josh, the basketball star, pulled cheers from the crowd with every shot. And George could walk into a silent room and start conversations with everyone around him. I envied them all. “Maybe I would be visible when I climbed my way to the top of every exam ranking,” I thought. To stand out academically, I doubled my effort. I spent every minute trying to be number one. Whenever classmates asked for help, I would close my textbook and lied. “Sorry, I don’t get it either,” terrified they would outperform me. Mr. White, our head teacher, noticed. “Real respect grows when you lift others up, Vik.” But I dismissed his words-grades were my only currency. The school was organizing a relay race for the upcoming sports day, and our class was making the team. The monitor turned to me with hopeful eyes. “Vik, you have to be on our team!” But I shook my head, “No way, I can’t afford to waste time on that. I have studies to do.” He tried to reason, “It’s just one afternoon, and it’s for the class!” Yet I stood firm, my mind fixed on my academic goals. Mr. White saw the whole exchange and called me aside, “Vik, life isn’t just about books and grades. The relay isn’t just a race; it’s a chance to build teamwork.” I was too blind to see his point. 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。 Eventually, I ranked first in the mid-exam, expecting cheers and congratulations. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I realized what I should do. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 荆州中学2025-2026学年高三上学期10月月考 英语试题 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?

D To show some ancient sports and their cultural value. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四种古代文明中的体育项目：埃及的法老赛跑、米诺斯的跃牛仪式、美索不达米亚的摔跤和中国周朝的射箭。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Minoan Bull-Leaping部分的“In this event, athletes would run directly at a charging bull, grab its horns (角) and leap over its back.(在这个项目中，运动员会直接冲向一头正在冲过来的公牛，抓住它的角，跳过它的背。)”和Mesopotamian Wrestling部分的“These matches were intense, with fighters wrestling like wild animals.(这些比赛非常激烈，选手们像野兽一样摔跤。)”可知，这两项运动的体能要求都很高。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Ancient Chinese Archery (射箭)部分的“To win, a person needed both physical skill and qualities such as grace, self-control and respect.(要赢得比赛，一个人既需要身体技能，也需要优雅、自我控制和尊重等品质。)”可知，射箭比赛不仅是技术的较量，还需要参赛者拥有优雅、自我控制和尊重等品质。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although ancient sports varied widely in form and intent, they universally highlighted the value of skill. Beyond mere competition, these activities were deeply integrated into their societies, reflecting cultural beliefs and shaping a sense of community.(尽管古代体育运动的形式和目的各不相同，但它们都强调技术的价值。除了单纯的竞争之外，这些活动还深深融入了他们的社会，反映了文化信仰，塑造了一种社区意识。)”可知，文章旨在说明古代体育的文化价值。故选D。 B From an early age, Edward Norton was taught what protecting the environment really requires.

This led Norton to a realization. “We can’t have the conservation movement depend only on donor-funded charity,” he says, “It not only can’t scale; it’s fundamentally unstable.” A new model is needed. Norton and his partners argue that tourist dollars being spent in fragile places ought to remain in-country — or better yet, in-community. Norton and his team have started a company called Conservation Equity that will invest in tourism in critical places and will reinvest its profits locally, instead of paying distant shareholders. Norton is optimistic about the model’s prospects, “I think what we are doing has no previous example to follow. The needs of people are not going to take a lower priority to the spiritual value of nature. If protecting and restoring nature can’t produce a stronger and more reliable economy, the effort will fail.” 4. How did Norton feel about being a typical celebrity spokesperson? A. Enthusiastic. B. Tolerant. C. Dissatisfied. D. Confused. 5. What is Norton’s main concern about the conservation movement? A. Expansion of its public influence. B. Lack of a stable source of funding. C. Failure to meet the needs of local communities. D. Repetition of the faults of previous generations. 6. What is special about Norton’s new model of conservation? A. Downplaying the value of nature. B. Raising funds from distant donors. C. Focusing on local children’s education. D. Benefiting local economic development. 7. Which of the following words best describe Norton? A. Confident and honest. B. Generous and talented. C. Practical and pioneering. D. Ambitious and conventional. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了演员爱德华・诺顿（Edward Norton）在环保领域的实践与探索，展现了他在环保领域的务实与创新。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“When Norton first became famous, he concluded that he wasn’t interested in ordinary celebrity ambassador work. “I am not interested in being some weak sauce kind of spokesperson,” he says. “It’s not that I don’t believe those things are important, but that held no nourishment for me.”(诺顿刚成名时，就认定自己对普通的名人发言人工作不感兴趣。他说：“我不想成为那种毫无分量的发言人。这并不是说我认为那些事不重要，而是那种工作对我来说没有任何意义。”)”可知，诺顿对成为典型的名人发言人并不感兴趣，甚至觉得这种工作“没有意义”，由此可判断他对此持不满态度。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“One challenge that concerns Norton would be familiar to his father and grandfather: raising funds. This led Norton to a realization. “We can’t have the conservation movement depend only on donor-funded charity,” he says, “It not only can’t scale; it’s fundamentally unstable.”(诺顿关注的一个挑战，他的父亲和祖父可能也很熟悉：筹集资金。这让诺顿有了一个认识。他说：“我们不能让环保运动只依赖捐赠者资助的慈善事业，这种模式不仅无法扩大规模，本质上还不稳定。”)”可知，诺顿认为环保运动目前依赖捐赠的资金模式不稳定，即他主要担心的是环保运动缺乏稳定的资金来源。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“A new model is needed. Norton and his partners argue that tourist dollars being spent in fragile places ought to remain in-country — or better yet, in-community. Norton and his team have started a company called Conservation Equity that will invest in tourism in critical places and will reinvest its profits locally, instead of paying distant shareholders.(需要一种新的模式。诺顿和他的合作伙伴认为，在生态脆弱地区花费的旅游资金应该留在当地——或者更好的是，留在社区里。诺顿和他的团队创办了一家名为“保护公平”的公司，该公司将在重要地区投资旅游业，并将利润再投资于当地，而不是支付给远方的股东。)”可知，诺顿的新型环保模式通过投资当地旅游业、将利润再投资于当地的方式，助力当地经济发展，这是其特别之处。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的““I am not interested in being some weak sauce kind of spokesperson,” he says. “It’s not that I don’t believe those things are important, but that held no nourishment for me.”(“我对当一个软弱无力的代言人不感兴趣，”他说。“这并不是说我认为那些事情不重要，但那对我毫无滋养。”)”以及第四段中的““We can’t have the conservation movement depend only on donor-funded charity,” he says, “It not only can’t scale; it’s fundamentally unstable.”(“我们不能让保护运动仅仅依赖于捐赠资金的慈善事业，”他说，“这不仅无法扩大规模，而且从根本上来说就是不稳定的。”)”可知，诺顿拒绝无意义的代言，直面传统环保模式弊端，注重实际效果，显务实特质。另外根据倒数第二段中的“Norton and his team have started a company called Conservation Equity that will invest in tourism in critical places and will reinvest its profits locally, instead of paying distant shareholders.(诺顿和他的团队创办了一家名为“保护公平”的公司，该公司将在重要地区投资旅游业，并将利润再投资于当地，而不是支付给远方的股东。)”以及最后一段中的“I think what we are doing has no previous example to follow. (我认为我们正在做的事情没有先例可循)”可知，他创新提出“旅游投资+本地再投资”模式并落地，且模式无先例，显开拓精神，因此他是务实且具有开拓精神的。故选C。 C It’s a familiar scene: You assure your parents you’ll leave for school in “just five minutes”, or confidently plan to memorize 50 words in an hour. Yet reality hits. You’re ten minutes late, breathless at the classroom’s front door. And of the fifty words? You managed barely twenty. So why do we keep misjudging time so badly? You’re not alone, and you’re not simply bad at planning. Most of us suffer from what is called the planning fallacy（谬误）, a concept introduced by psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky. It describes how we consistently underestimate the time to complete a task, often accompanied by a failure to account for effort and risk, even if it contradicts our experiences. This happens because people tend to imagine the ideal situation and omit real-world challenges. Imagine trying to finish a math worksheet before evening study session. You picture yourself focused and finishing it in thirty minutes. But reality is different. You get stuck on a tough problem, look for your textbook, and check your phone “just once”, and suddenly an hour has passed. Before you know it, you’re rushing to complete the work, feeling stressed, and worried about how others will perceive your delay. So, what can you do? First, instead of thinking about the task, use data. Ask: how long did similar tasks take last time — not just the writing, but the thinking, searching, revising? Second, break big goals into small, more predictable steps and estimate the duration of each one. It’s easier to estimate “answer the first three multiple-choice questions” than “finish biology homework”. Third, don’t just add a fixed number to your estimate; adjust by percentages because larger tasks scale differently. A 10-minute task might need 5 extra minutes while a 2-hour task might need 30. The next time you catch yourself thinking “this will just take a few minutes”, pause for a moment and remind yourself of the planning fallacy. The goal is, however, not to become pessimistic about your capabilities, but to become realistic about the complexities of the real world. Your future self will thank you. 8. What phenomenon does the planning fallacy mainly describe? A. Anxiety over future plans. B. Frequent mistakes in daily life. C. Misjudgment about task duration. D. Failure to reflect on past experiences. 9. What does the underlined word “omit” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Meet. B. Accept. C. Handle. D. Ignore. 10. Which of the following is a solution to the planning fallacy? A. Dividing a project into smaller parts. B. Doing more research before acting. C. Adding at least five more minutes to a task. D. Following the same time estimate as before. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. How Perfectionism Fools Us. B. Closing the Planning Gap. C. Why Realism Is So Important. D. Breaking the Deadline Cycle. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了“计划谬误”——人们往往会低估自己完成任务所需的时间。通过描述典型现象、心理原因以及三条实用建议，作者帮助读者改善时间管理，强调“现实规划”胜过“乐观假设”。 8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Most of us suffer from what is called the planning fallacy（谬误）... It describes how we consistently underestimate the time to complete a task, often accompanied by a failure to account for effort and risk, even if it contradicts our experiences.(我们大多数人都受到所谓“规划谬误”的影响……它指的是我们总是低估完成一项任务所需的时间，往往还会忽略所需的努力和潜在风险，即便这与我们的过往经验相悖。)”可知，规划谬误主要描述的是人们对任务所需时长的误判（低估）。故选C项。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“This happens because people tend to imagine the ideal situation and omit real-world challenges. Imagine trying to finish a math worksheet... You picture yourself focused... But reality is different. You get stuck on a tough problem, look for your textbook, and check your phone...(这种情况发生是因为人们倾向于想象理想状态，而omit现实中的挑战。想象一下你试图完成数学练习卷……你设想自己专注做题……但现实却不同：你被难题困住、找课本、忍不住看手机……)”可知，“理想状态”与“现实挑战”是对比关系，人们只想到理想情况，却没考虑到现实中的问题，因此“omit”意为“忽略、忽视”。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“So, what can you do? First... Second, break big goals into small, more predictable steps and estimate the duration of each one. It’s easier to estimate ‘answer the first three multiple-choice questions’ than ‘finish biology homework’.(那么，我们能做些什么呢？首先……其次，将大目标分解成更小、更易预估时长的步骤，并估算每个步骤的时间。估算‘完成前三道选择题’的时间，比估算‘完成生物作业’要容易得多。)”可知，“将项目拆分成更小部分”是解决规划谬误的方法之一。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章探讨了“计划谬误”——人们往往会低估自己完成任务所需的时间。通过描述典型现象、心理原因以及三条实用建议，作者帮助读者改善时间管理，强调“现实规划”胜过“乐观假设”。核心是“帮助人们缩小规划与现实的差距”。所以B选项“弥合规划缺口”为最佳标题。故选B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? 12. 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. 13. 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. 14. 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. 15. 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】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【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。 【12题详解】 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.

Toby’s raised hands always lit up teachers’ eyes. Josh, the basketball star, pulled cheers from the crowd with every shot. And George could walk into a silent room and start conversations with everyone around him. I envied them all. “Maybe I would be visible when I climbed my way to the top of every exam ranking” I thought. To stand out academically, I doubled my effort. I spent every minute trying to be number one. Whenever classmates asked for help, I would close my textbook and lied. “Sorry, I don’t get it either,” terrified they would outperform me. Mr. White, our head teacher, noticed. “Real respect grows when you lift others up, Vik.” But I dismissed his words-grades were my only currency. The school was organizing a relay race for the upcoming sports day, and our class was making the team. The monitor turned to me with hopeful eyes. “Vik, you have to be on our team!” But I shook my head, “No way, I can’t afford to waste time on that. I have studies to do.” He tried to reason, “It’s just one afternoon, and it’s for the class!” Yet I stood firm, my mind fixed on my academic goals. Mr. White saw the whole exchange and called me aside, “Vik, life isn’t just about books and grades. The relay isn’t just a race; it’s a chance to build teamwork.” I was too blind to see his point. 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。 Eventually, I ranked first in the mid-exam, expecting cheers and congratulations. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I realized what I should do. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Eventually, I ranked first in the mid-exam, expecting cheers and congratulations. When the teacher read my name aloud, I sat up straight, waiting for the excitement I’d dreamed of. But the classroom stayed quiet—no cheers, no pats on the back. I stared at my paper, the red “1st” now feeling cold. For the first time, I realized the top rank I’d fought so hard for hadn’t brought me the respect I wanted. Mr. White’s words echoed in my head again, and this time, they hit home. I realized what I should do. The next break, I walked to the monitor, my heart beating fast. “Is there still a spot on the relay team?” His eyes widened in surprise, then lit up. At practice, I pushed through sore legs to keep up, and after class, I pulled out my notes to help classmates who struggled with math. On sports day, when I passed the baton to Josh, the whole class screamed. We finished second, but as we hugged one another, I felt warmer than I ever had holding a top exam paper. Popularity wasn’t about standing above others—it was about standing with them. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，作者渴望在班级中受关注，羡慕Toby、Josh等人的受欢迎。他认为考第一能让自己突出，便加倍努力学习，还因怕同学超越而拒绝帮忙，也不愿参加班级接力赛，即便班主任怀特老师提醒他互助与团队的重要性，他也未能理解。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“最终，我在期中考试中拔得头筹，满心期待着欢呼与祝贺。”可以预测这段主要内容：作者中考第一却未获关注，才悟榜首未带来渴望的尊重，懂了怀特老师的话。 ②由第二段首句内容“我终于明白自己该做些什么了。”可以预测这段主要内容：作者醒悟后，主动加入接力队坚持训练、帮同学补数学；运动会接力获第二，相拥时他倍感温暖，终懂受欢迎是与他人并肩。 2.续写线索： 作者期中考第一——仍未获关注——懂得怀特老师的话—— 融入同学——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①理解到：realize/understand/recognize ②帮助：help/assist/aid ③大叫：scream/shout/yell 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitement/thrill ②惊讶：surprise/astonishment/amazement 【点睛】[高分句型1]. When the teacher read my name aloud, I sat up straight, waiting for the excitement I’d dreamed of. （运用了现在分词作状语和省略which或that的定语从句） [高分句型2].
