I was a new lifeguard that summer, and on my first shift I admitted to myself: Mike looked more like a warning than a watcher. One August dusk the sea turned unpleasant. A rip(离岸流) current dragged two small boys seaward while their mother, frozen in panic, screamed from the shore. Mike was off the tower before the whistle finished echoing. He entered the water sideways, cutting across the current until he was level with the boys, then swam sideways again to escape the rip. I watched from the sand, helpless. In less than four minutes he returned, a child tucked under each arm like footballs. The mother ran forward, snatched her sons and spun away without a word. No thank-you, no eye-contact—just the back of her T-shirt disappearing into the crowd. I waited for Mike to swear or shrug. He simply jogged back to his tower, eyes already scanning the next wave. Later I asked why he stayed silent. He laughed, salt water still on his lashes. “Words don’t keep kids alive, watching does.” He added, “She was scared. Fear makes people forget manners.” That night I wrote in my logbook: Heroism is sometimes missed because it doesn’t look like the stories we were promised. Mike’s pay was twelve dollars an hour, but the sea had measured him at a different rate. Ten years on, whenever I feel judgement rising in my throat, I remember the scar across Mike’s scalp and the two boys who will never know the name of the man who gave them the rest of their lives. I promised myself never to let appearance drown reality again. 4. What first impression did Mike make on the author? A. He appeared friendly but careless. B. He struck people as shy and quiet. C. He seemed experienced but unreliable. D. He looked frightening and unapproachable. 5. Why did Mike enter the water sideways? A. To offer comfort to the boys. B. To avoid being swept away by the rip. C. To hear the whistle from other lifeguards. D. To demonstrate professional swimming skills. 6. What lesson did the author learn from the incident? A. Never judge people by their appearance. B. Always thank those who help you. C. Fear is a natural reaction. D. Lifeguards are underpaid. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. A Mother’s Fear B. The Unthanked Hero C. A Summer Lifeguard D. The Danger of the Sea 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者作为救生员目睹了Mike救起两个落水男孩却未被道谢的事件。Mike因外表凶悍而引人注目，但他专业地救助了孩子。这件事让作者认识到不能以貌取人，并决心不被表面现象蒙蔽。 4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Mike’s shaved head and tattooed arms made mothers pull their children closer on the beach. I was a new lifeguard that summer, and on my first shift I admitted to myself: Mike looked more like a warning than a watcher.(Mike剃光了头发，手臂上还有纹身，在海滩上，他这副模样让不少母亲都把孩子拉得更紧了。那年夏天我是新来的救生员，上岗的第一天我就暗自承认：Mike看起来更像是个警告，而不是守护者。)”可知，Mike给作者的第一印象是看起来很吓人，让人不敢接近。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“He entered the water sideways, cutting across the current until he was level with the boys, then swam sideways again to escape the rip.(他侧身潜入水中，穿过水流，一直游到与孩子们齐平的位置，然后再次侧身游动，以避开那股离岸流。)”可知，Mike侧身进入水中是为了避开离岸流，防止被冲走。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I promised myself never to let appearance drown reality again.(我承诺自己再也不会让外表掩盖了事实)”可知，作者从这次事件中学到的教训是不要以貌取人。A选项“Never judge people by their appearance.(永远不要根据一个人的外表来评判他。)”符合题意。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容，全文主要讲述了Mike作为救生员的一次英勇救援，以及事后孩子母亲没有表示感谢，但Mike并不在意，他认为实际行动比言语更重要。文章最后作者也从中得到了不要以貌取人的教训。由此可知，文章主要围绕Mike这位未被感谢的英雄展开。B选项“The Unthanked Hero(未被感谢的英雄)”符合题意。故选B项。 C For three hot days in August 2023, at one of the biggest music festivals in the Netherlands, a line of people snaked outside the entrance of four shipping containers. They were queuing up to meet some mosquitoes. The shipping containers were a pop-up laboratory, and the people were volunteering for a study that measured how attractive they were to the blood-sucking insects. Festival-goers rested their arms against acrylic boxes (亚克力盒子) that let caged mosquitoes smell but not bite. A camera helped track the insects’ landings, and then a computer calculated a score. Felix Hol, a quantitative biologist at Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, directed the study. There’s probably an interplay of different elements at work, like someone’s diet, scent, temperature and the microbial (微生物的) companions living on their skin, Hol says. In the pop-up lab, Hol’s team tested mosquitoes’ responses to volunteers and collected a lot of other data, including information about their cleanliness, diet, and alcohol use, sleeping habits and sunscreen application. The team tested over 500 volunteers and observed a wide range of mosquito responses. After some people placed their arm against the cage, the insects zipped away to the sugar feeder on the opposite side. Other participants had mosquitoes targeting them within seconds. Such extra-attractive humans may have been beer drinkers. People who recently drank beer were 44 percent more attractive to mosquitoes than people who didn’t. Among people who had showered recently, those who had applied sunscreen were about half as attractive as those who had not, the team found. Overall, the team’s results suggest that if you don’t want to get bitten by mosquitoes, “don’t drink beer and put on your sunscreen,” Hol says. If that advice doesn’t sound appealing, he says, there is an alternative: “You can do whatever you want and put on long sleeves.” 8. What is the primary function of the first paragraph? A. To introduce the research. B. To highlight the challenges. C. To detail the scientific ways. D. To assess the volunteers’ motivations. 9. What does the underlined word “interplay” in Paragraph 3 most likely mean? A. Random combination. B. Unexpected result. C. Single effect. D. Interaction. 10. What can be inferred about the role of the sugar feeder in Paragraph 4? A. Its effect has nothing to do with the volunteers’ gender. B. It was the food source for mosquitoes in the experiment. C. It helped compare how much humans attracted mosquitoes. D. It tested mosquito preferences by creating a nature-like environment. 11. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To report factors in human attractiveness to mosquitoes. B. To prove sunscreen is an effective preventer. C. To promote music festivals as research sites. D. To explain why beer attracts mosquitoes. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在荷兰的一个音乐节上，研究人员通过实验研究了影响人类对蚊子吸引力的因素。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“For three hot days in August 2023, at one of the biggest music festivals in the Netherlands, a line of people snaked outside the entrance of four shipping containers. They were queuing up to meet some mosquitoes.(在2023年8月的三个炎热的日子里，在荷兰最大的音乐节之一上，一队人蜿蜒在四个集装箱的入口外。他们在排队等着接触一些蚊子)”和第二段中“The shipping containers were a pop-up laboratory, and the people were volunteering for a study that measured how attractive they were to the blood-sucking insects.(集装箱是一个临时实验室，人们自愿参加一项研究，测量他们对蚊子的吸引力)”可知，作者描述了2023年8月在荷兰最大的音乐节之一上，一队人在四个集装箱入口外排队等着接触一些蚊子的场景，目的是引出下文中关于“人类对蚊子的吸引力”的研究。故选A项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“There’s probably an interplay of different elements at work, like someone’s diet, scent, temperature and the microbial (微生物的) companions living on their skin(这可能是不同因素的interplay，比如某人的饮食、气味、体温以及生活在他们皮肤上的微生物伙伴)”可知，此处列举了影响蚊子选择的不同因素，包括饮食、气味、体温和皮肤上的微生物等。由此可推知，这些因素之间是相互作用的，故划线词“interplay”的意思是“相互作用”，与D项“Interaction”意思相近。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“In the pop-up lab, Hol’s team tested mosquitoes’ responses to volunteers and collected a lot of other data, including information about their cleanliness, diet, and alcohol use, sleeping habits and sunscreen application. The team tested over 500 volunteers and observed a wide range of mosquito responses .After some people placed their arm against the cage, the insects zipped away to the sugar feeder on the opposite side. Other participants had mosquitoes targeting them within seconds.(在临时搭建的实验室里，霍尔团队测试了蚊子对志愿者的反应，并收集了大量其他数据，包括个人清洁状况、饮食习惯、酒精摄入量、睡眠习惯及防晒用品使用情况。该团队对500多名志愿者进行了测试，观察了蚊子的各种反应。有些人把手臂放在笼子旁边后，昆虫迅速飞到对面的糖源处。其他参与者在几秒钟内就被蚊子盯上了)”可知，有些人把手臂放在笼子旁边后，蚊子飞到了另一边的糖源处，而有些人很快就被蚊子叮咬了。由此可推知，糖源的作用帮助发现哪些人对蚊子更有吸引力，甚至超过糖的魅力，即帮助比较人类对蚊子的吸引力。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中“The shipping containers were a pop-up laboratory, and the people were volunteering for a study that measured how attractive they were to the blood-sucking insects.(集装箱是一个临时实验室，人们自愿参加一项研究，测量他们对蚊子的吸引力)”和最后一段中“Overall, the team’s results suggest that if you don’t want to get bitten by mosquitoes, “don’t drink beer and put on your sunscreen,” Hol says.(霍尔说，总体而言，研究小组的结果表明，如果你不想被蚊子叮咬，“就不要喝啤酒，涂上防晒霜。”)”可知，文章主要目的是介绍一项研究，研究人员通过实验研究了影响人类对蚊子吸引力的因素。故选A项。 D The monster black hole at the center of our galaxy is spinning at near “top speed”, according to a new artificial intelligence(AI) model. The model, trained partially on complex telescope data that was previously considered too noisy to be useful, aims to create the most detailed black hole images ever. For decades, scientists have been trying to observe and characterize Sagittarius A *, the supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy. In May 2022, they uncovered the first-ever image of this object, but there were still a number of questions, such as how it behaves. An international team of scientists has now used AI technology to analyze data from the Event Horizon Telescope(EHT), hoping to discover new details about Sagittarius A*. However, this method is easily affected by water vapor in Earth’s atmosphere. This means it can be tough for researchers to make sense of the information the instrument collects. Michael Janssen, an astrophysicist at Radboud University in the Netherlands, said, “A neural(神经) network is ideally suited to solve this problem.” Janssen and his team trained an AI model on EHT data that had been previously abandoned for being too noisy, Through this AI technique, they generated a new image of Sagittarius A *’s structure, and their picture revealed some new features. For example, the black hole appears to be spinning at “almost top speed”, and its rotational(旋转的) axis also seems to be pointing toward Earth. However not all experts are convinced that the AI model is accurate. “I’m very sympathetic and interested in what they’re doing,” Reinhard Genzel, one of the winners of the 2020 Nobel Prize in physics, said. “But artificial intelligence is not a miracle cure.” According to Genzel, the relatively low quality of the data going into the model could have produced unreliable results. As a result, the new image may not perfectly reflect the original, he said. In the future, Janssen and his team plan to apply their technique to the latest EHT data and measure it against real-world results. They hope this will help to enhance the model and improve the future ones. 12. Which of the following is NOT included in Paragraph 2? A. The research target. B. The achievement. C. Remaining gaps. D. Financial issues. 13. What did the AI model achieve? A. Formerly unknown features of Sagittarius A*. B. Immediate recognition among scientists. C. More accurate observational data. D. The most detailed galaxy images. 14. What is the attitude of Genzel toward the AI technique? A Deeply concerned. B. Completely opposed. C. Cautiously optimistic. D. Reasonably confident. 15. What will Janssen likely do in the future? A. Supply additional training data to the AI model. B. Cross-check AI results with newer EHT data. C. Adjust the observation angle of the EHT. D. Apply corrections to the EHT data. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家利用AI模型分析事件视界望远镜数据，获得了银河系中心超大质量黑洞Sagittarius A*的新图像，显示其高速旋转。但诺贝尔物理学奖得主Genzel对此表示谨慎，认为数据质量可能影响结果。科学家计划用最新数据改进模型。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“For decades, scientists have been trying to observe and characterize Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy.(几十年来，科学家们一直在努力观察和描述银河系中心的超大质量黑洞Sagittarius A*。)”可知，此处指出了研究目标，即A选项“The research target(研究目标)”；又提到“In May 2022, they uncovered the first - ever image of this object(在2022年5月，他们公布了这一物体的首张图像)”指出了研究所取得的成就，即B选项“The achievement(成就)”；还提到“but there were still a number of questions, such as how it behaves.(但仍然存在许多问题，比如它是如何表现的。)”指出了现行研究存在的差距，即C选项“Remaining gaps(现存的差距)”。而该段并未提及财务问题，即D选项“Financial issues(财务问题)”。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Through this AI technique, they generated a new image of Sagittarius A *’s structure, and their picture revealed some new features. For example, the black hole appears to be spinning at ‘almost top speed’, and its rotational(旋转的) axis also seems to be pointing toward Earth.(通过这种人工智能技术，他们生成了Sagittarius A*结构的新图像，他们的图像揭示了一些新特征。例如，黑洞似乎以‘接近最高速度’旋转，其旋转轴似乎也指向地球。)”可知，人工智能模型发现了Sagittarius A*以前未知的新特征，即A选项“Formerly unknown features of Sagittarius A*(Sagittarius A *星的先前未知特征)”符合题意。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“However, not all experts are convinced that the AI model is accurate.(然而，并非所有专家都相信人工智能模型是准确的。)”以及“According to Genzel, the relatively low quality of the data going into the model could have produced unreliable results.(根据Genzel的说法，输入模型的相对低质量的数据可能会产生不可靠的结果。)”，由此可以看出Genzel对人工智能技术持谨慎乐观的态度，即C选项“Cautiously optimistic(谨慎地乐观)”。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In the future, Janssen and his team plan to apply their technique to the latest EHT data and measure it against real-world results.(未来，Janssen和他的团队计划将他们的技术应用于最新的EHT数据，并将其与实际结果进行对比。)”，由此可知Janssen未来可能会用更新的EHT数据来交叉核对人工智能结果，即B选项“Cross-check AI results with newer EHT data(用更新的EHT数据来交叉核对人工智能结果)”符合题意。故选B。 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。 The old saying “time is money”, by Benjamin Franklin, shows a deep truth about time’s importance.____16____Unlike money, once time is used, it can never be regained, making it humanity’s most priceless resource. Many people feel sorry for wasting time later in life, wishing they had prioritized goals or relationships. Good time management turns this regret into opportunity. Individuals who ignore the significance of it may endanger their own future. You should start by finding core priorities — work deadlines, family time, or personal growth — and focus on tasks that match them.____17____ Things that take your attention away are modern time’s biggest enemies. Smartphones, social media, and unplanned interruptions take up useful hours.____18____For example, set specific “screen-free” periods or use apps that block distracting websites during work time. Small changes like these can greatly increase daily productivity. ____19____Working too much leads to tiredness, while too much free time wastes potential. The key is to alternate regularly: work in focused short periods, then take short breaks to get energy back. This way keeps up your energy and improves overall results. In essence, time management is not about controlling time itself.____20____By using time properly, we can go after goals, care for relationships, and live more satisfying lives. Franklin’s words remind us that our hours, indeed, shape our lives. A. Balance is also important in time management. B. This helps avoid the “busy but unproductive” trap. C. It often makes people lose focus on important tasks. D. This means thinking of every moment as invaluable. E. Instead, it’s about mastering how we use our own hours. F. Forgetting rest to work more harms long-term productivity. G. To fight them, you must set clear limits on these distractions. 【答案】16. D 17. B 18. G 19. A 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章强调了时间的重要性，指出时间不可再生。由此就时间管理提出了一系列方法和建议。 【16题详解】 上文“The old saying ‘time is money’, by Benjamin Franklin, shows a deep truth about time’s importance.(本杰明·富兰克林的名言‘时间就是金钱’揭示了时间重要性的深刻真理。)”引出了关于时间重要性的话题；D选项“This means thinking of every moment as invaluable.(这意味着把每一刻都视为无价之宝。)”进一步阐述了时间的重要性，强调要把每一刻都当作珍贵的，与上文关于时间重要性的论述相契合，符合题意。故选D。 【17题详解】 上文“You should start by finding core priorities — work deadlines, family time, or personal growth—and focus on tasks that match them.(你应该首先确定核心优先事项——工作截止日期、家庭时间或个人成长——并专注于与之匹配的任务。)”说明了要确定核心优先事项并专注于相关任务；B选项“This helps avoid the ‘busy but unproductive’ trap.(这有助于避免陷入‘忙碌但无成效’的陷阱。)”指出了按照上述做法的好处，即避免忙碌却没有成果的情况，与上文逻辑连贯，符合题意。故选B。 【18题详解】 上文“Things that take your attention away are modern time’s biggest enemies. Smartphones, social media, and unplanned interruptions take up useful hours.(分散你注意力的事物是现代时间最大的敌人。智能手机、社交媒体和意外的干扰会占用宝贵的时间。)”指出了分散注意力的事物对时间的消耗；G选项“To fight them, you must set clear limits on these distractions.(为了对抗它们，你必须对这些干扰设定明确的限制。)”中them指代前文的分散注意力的事物，针对上文提到的问题提出了解决办法，即对干扰设定限制，符合题意。故选G。 【19题详解】 下文“Working too much leads to tiredness, while too much free time wastes potential. The key is to alternate regularly: work in focused short periods, then take short breaks to get energy back.(工作太多会导致疲劳，而太多的空闲时间会浪费潜力。关键是要定期交替：集中精力工作一小段时间，然后短暂休息以恢复精力。)”强调了工作与休息之间的平衡；A选项“Balance is also important in time management.(在时间管理中，平衡也很重要。)”直接点明了本段的主题，即时间管理中的平衡问题，符合题意。故选A。 【20题详解】 上文“In essence, time management is not about controlling time itself.(本质上，时间管理不是控制时间本身。)”否定了时间管理是控制时间本身的观点；E选项“Instead, it’s about mastering how we use our own hours.(相反，它是关于掌握我们如何利用自己的时间。)”进一步说明了时间管理的真正含义，即掌握如何利用自己的时间，与上文形成转折关系，符合题意。故选E。 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。 My first guitar lesson ended in pain, confusion and defeat.

Serving as a nice haven for numerous homeless animals, it offered food, shelter and care. One day, young Jack and Grace walked by the shelter and noticed a sign for a voluntary service. Jack was absorbed immediately, “Grace, just take into consideration those sad animals in urgent need of help. Let’s join to be volunteers.” Grace, however, showed somewhat uncertainty, “I am not sure, Jack, voluntary service takes hard work, and we have school to go to and something else to do.” Jack insisted, “just think about what a meaningful difference we would make to the homeless animals. Don’t hesitate! Do it now!” Eventually, Grace nodded. Both Jack and Grace ran to the animal shelter and sprang into action. Sweeping the shelter, feeding the animals and having games with them were great fun for them. With days passing, they became attached to the lovely creatures and felt a sense of pride. On one Sunday afternoon full of sunshine, when making nice meals for the lovely, Jack happened to hear a conversation, leaving him worried. The shelter’s director, Mr. Frank, was telling a worker a financial crisis Paws Home was faced with. As donations were declining and running costs were rising, the shelter was on the verge (边缘) of being closed. “The shelter will stop in the near future”, sighed Mr. Frank. Jack told Grace the news promptly. Surely, both of them felt how urgent it was to find a way out. “We can’t wait doing nothing,” Grace said, resolve shining in her eyes, “we have to take action again.” They immediately put forward a good plan: stage a community fundraising called “An Evening for Paws” — animals talent show, bake sale and auction (拍卖) on the square. The weeks that followed saw how busy they were. Jack persuaded some local shops to donate pet supplies, baked goods, and art works for the auction. At the same time, Grace promoted the event online, attracting attention fast. She designed posters which would appear in the neighborhood. 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。 Then came the day when the community fundraising started. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Overexcited, Mr. Frank, couldn’t be more grateful to everyone. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Then came the day when the community fundraising started. The Paws Home took on an electric look. In the breeze danced the dazzling streamers. On the tables lay the donated pet supplies, baked goods and art works eager to be auctioned. On the stage stayed the excited pet animals eager to show talents. In the neighborhood shuttled Jack and Grace among the crowd in the warm sunshine. Suddenly, cheers exploding thunderously, the highlight came into view. Dogs were doing tricks, cats were showing catwalks and parrots were reciting rhymes. So amazing was the show that the crowd were overwhelmingly entertained, donating generously. Meanwhile, the crowd rushing to offer, the auction lived up to their expectations instantly. Mr. Frank seeing it, his excited tears were streaming down. Overexcited, Mr. Frank, couldn’t be more grateful to everyone. First, he looked at Jack and Grace affectionately and said proudly “well done!” On hearing it, both Jack and Grace were smiling knowingly. Then, Mr. Frank voiced the sincere thanks to the enthusiastic crowd. Immediately, they cheered in response. The cheers were resonating in the breeze and in the sunshine. Next, Mr. Frank with confidence hanging on his face promised that the Paws Home would be kept open to the homeless animals continuously. Everyone was convinced that a small community could make a big difference. For Jack and Grace, the experience was a reminder that many hands make light work. 【解析】 【导语】本文以事件为线索展开，讲述Jack和Grace看到动物收容所招募志愿者便加入其中，后得知收容所面临财务危机，他们策划了社区筹款活动。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“社区筹款活动开始的日子到了。”可知，第一段可描写活动现场的热闹场景，如动物表演、拍卖等，以及人们积极捐款，Frank先生感动落泪。 ②由第二段首句内容“Frank先生兴奋不已，对每个人感激不尽。”可知，第二段可描写Frank先生向Jack、Grace和众人表达感谢，承诺收容所会继续开放，大家意识到团结的力量。 2. 续写线索：活动开场——动物表演——拍卖顺利——Frank感谢——承诺开放 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①使快乐：entertain/amuse ②捐赠：donate/contribute ③欢呼：cheer/shout with joy 情绪类 ①兴奋的：excited/thrilled ②热情的：enthusiastic/passionate 【点睛】[高分句型1] In the breeze danced the dazzling streamers.(运用了完全倒装结构) [高分句型2] So amazing was the show that the crowd were overwhelmingly entertained, donating generously.(运用了so...that引导结果状语从句的部分倒装结构) [高分句型3] For Jack and Grace, the experience was a reminder that many hands make light work.(运用了that引导同位语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 长沙市一中2026届高三月考试卷（三） 英语 时量：120分钟 满分：150分 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?

B Mike’s shaved head and tattooed(有纹身的) arms made mothers pull their children closer on the beach. I was a new lifeguard that summer, and on my first shift I admitted to myself: Mike looked more like a warning than a watcher. One August dusk the sea turned unpleasant. A rip(离岸流) current dragged two small boys seaward while their mother, frozen in panic, screamed from the shore. Mike was off the tower before the whistle finished echoing. He entered the water sideways, cutting across the current until he was level with the boys, then swam sideways again to escape the rip. I watched from the sand, helpless. In less than four minutes he returned, a child tucked under each arm like footballs. The mother ran forward, snatched her sons and spun away without a word. No thank-you, no eye-contact—just the back of her T-shirt disappearing into the crowd. I waited for Mike to swear or shrug. He simply jogged back to his tower, eyes already scanning the next wave. Later I asked why he stayed silent. He laughed, salt water still on his lashes. “Words don’t keep kids alive, watching does.” He added, “She was scared. Fear makes people forget manners.” That night I wrote in my logbook: Heroism is sometimes missed because it doesn’t look like the stories we were promised. Mike’s pay was twelve dollars an hour, but the sea had measured him at a different rate. Ten years on whenever I feel judgement rising in my throat, I remember the scar across Mike’s scalp and the two boys who will never know the name of the man who gave them the rest of their lives. I promised myself never to let appearance drown reality again. 4. What first impression did Mike make on the author? A. He appeared friendly but careless. B. He struck people as shy and quiet. C. He seemed experienced but unreliable. D. He looked frightening and unapproachable. 5. Why did Mike enter the water sideways? A. To offer comfort to the boys. B. To avoid being swept away by the rip. C. To hear the whistle from other lifeguards. D. To demonstrate professional swimming skills. 6. What lesson did the author learn from the incident? A. Never judge people by their appearance. B. Always thank those who help you. C. Fear is a natural reaction. D. Lifeguards are underpaid. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. A Mother’s Fear B. The Unthanked Hero C. A Summer Lifeguard D. The Danger of the Sea C For three hot days in August 2023, at one of the biggest music festivals in the Netherlands, a line of people snaked outside the entrance of four shipping containers. They were queuing up to meet some mosquitoes. The shipping containers were a pop-up laboratory, and the people were volunteering for a study that measured how attractive they were to the blood-sucking insects. Festival-goers rested their arms against acrylic boxes (亚克力盒子) that let caged mosquitoes smell but not bite. A camera helped track the insects’ landings, and then a computer calculated a score. Felix Hol, a quantitative biologist at Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, directed the study. There’s probably an interplay of different elements at work, like someone’s diet, scent, temperature and the microbial (微生物的) companions living on their skin, Hol says. In the pop-up lab, Hol’s team tested mosquitoes’ responses to volunteers and collected a lot of other data, including information about their cleanliness, diet, and alcohol use, sleeping habits and sunscreen application. The team tested over 500 volunteers and observed a wide range of mosquito responses. After some people placed their arm against the cage, the insects zipped away to the sugar feeder on the opposite side. Other participants had mosquitoes targeting them within seconds. Such extra-attractive humans may have been beer drinkers. People who recently drank beer were 44 percent more attractive to mosquitoes than people who didn’t. Among people who had showered recently, those who had applied sunscreen were about half as attractive as those who had not, the team found. Overall, the team’s results suggest that if you don’t want to get bitten by mosquitoes, “don’t drink beer and put on your sunscreen,” Hol says. If that advice doesn’t sound appealing, he says, there is an alternative: “You can do whatever you want and put on long sleeves.” 8. What is the primary function of the first paragraph? A. To introduce the research. B. To highlight the challenges. C. To detail the scientific ways. D. To assess the volunteers’ motivations. 9. What does the underlined word “interplay” in Paragraph 3 most likely mean? A. Random combination. B. Unexpected result. C. Single effect. D. Interaction. 10.

D The monster black hole at the center of our galaxy is spinning at near “top speed”, according to a new artificial intelligence(AI) model. The model, trained partially on complex telescope data that was previously considered too noisy to be useful, aims to create the most detailed black hole images ever. For decades, scientists have been trying to observe and characterize Sagittarius A *, the supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy. In May 2022, they uncovered the first-ever image of this object, but there were still a number of questions, such as how it behaves. An international team of scientists has now used AI technology to analyze data from the Event Horizon Telescope(EHT), hoping to discover new details about Sagittarius A*. However, this method is easily affected by water vapor in Earth’s atmosphere. This means it can be tough for researchers to make sense of the information the instrument collects. Michael Janssen, an astrophysicist at Radboud University in the Netherlands, said, “A neural(神经) network is ideally suited to solve this problem.” Janssen and his team trained an AI model on EHT data that had been previously abandoned for being too noisy, Through this AI technique, they generated a new image of Sagittarius A *’s structure, and their picture revealed some new features. For example, the black hole appears to be spinning at “almost top speed”, and its rotational(旋转的) axis also seems to be pointing toward Earth. However, not all experts are convinced that the AI model is accurate. “I’m very sympathetic and interested in what they’re doing,” Reinhard Genzel, one of the winners of the 2020 Nobel Prize in physics, said. “But artificial intelligence is not a miracle cure.” According to Genzel, the relatively low quality of the data going into the model could have produced unreliable results. As a result, the new image may not perfectly reflect the original, he said. In the future, Janssen and his team plan to apply their technique to the latest EHT data and measure it against real-world results. They hope this will help to enhance the model and improve the future ones. 12. Which of the following is NOT included in Paragraph 2? A. The research target. B. The achievement. C. Remaining gaps. D. Financial issues. 13. What did the AI model achieve? A Formerly unknown features of Sagittarius A*. B. Immediate recognition among scientists. C. More accurate observational data. D. The most detailed galaxy images. 14. What is the attitude of Genzel toward the AI technique? A. Deeply concerned. B. Completely opposed. C. Cautiously optimistic. D. Reasonably confident. 15. What will Janssen likely do in the future? A. Supply additional training data to the AI model. B. Cross-check AI results with newer EHT data. C. Adjust the observation angle of the EHT. D. Apply corrections to the EHT data. 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。 The old saying “time is money”, by Benjamin Franklin, shows a deep truth about time’s importance.____16____Unlike money, once time is used, it can never be regained, making it humanity’s most priceless resource. Many people feel sorry for wasting time later in life, wishing they had prioritized goals or relationships. Good time management turns this regret into opportunity. Individuals who ignore the significance of it may endanger their own future. You should start by finding core priorities — work deadlines, family time, or personal growth — and focus on tasks that match them.____17____ Things that take your attention away are modern time’s biggest enemies. Smartphones, social media, and unplanned interruptions take up useful hours.____18____For example, set specific “screen-free” periods or use apps that block distracting websites during work time. Small changes like these can greatly increase daily productivity. ____19____Working too much leads to tiredness, while too much free time wastes potential. The key is to alternate regularly: work in focused short periods, then take short breaks to get energy back. This way keeps up your energy and improves overall results. In essence, time management is not about controlling time itself.____20____By using time properly, we can go after goals, care for relationships, and live more satisfying lives. Franklin’s words remind us that our hours, indeed, shape our lives. A. Balance is also important in time management. B. This helps avoid the “busy but unproductive” trap. C. It often makes people lose focus on important tasks. D. This means thinking of every moment as invaluable. E. Instead, it’s about mastering how we use our own hours. F. Forgetting rest to work more harms long-term productivity. G. To fight them, you must set clear limits on these distractions. 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。 My first guitar lesson ended in pain, confusion and defeat.

Serving as a nice haven for numerous homeless animals, it offered food, shelter and care. One day, young Jack and Grace walked by the shelter and noticed a sign for a voluntary service. Jack was absorbed immediately, “Grace, just take into consideration those sad animals in urgent need of help. Let’s join to be volunteers.” Grace, however, showed somewhat uncertainty, “I am not sure, Jack, voluntary service takes hard work, and we have school to go to and something else to do.” Jack insisted, “just think about what a meaningful difference we would make to the homeless animals. Don’t hesitate! Do it now!” Eventually, Grace nodded. Both Jack and Grace ran to the animal shelter and sprang into action. Sweeping the shelter, feeding the animals and having games with them were great fun for them. With days passing, they became attached to the lovely creatures and felt a sense of pride. On one Sunday afternoon full of sunshine, when making nice meals for the lovely, Jack happened to hear a conversation, leaving him worried. The shelter’s director, Mr. Frank, was telling a worker a financial crisis Paws Home was faced with. As donations were declining and running costs were rising, the shelter was on the verge (边缘) of being closed. “The shelter will stop in the near future”, sighed Mr. Frank. Jack told Grace the news promptly. Surely, both of them felt how urgent it was to find a way out. “We can’t wait doing nothing,” Grace said, resolve shining in her eyes, “we have to take action again.” They immediately put forward a good plan: stage a community fundraising called “An Evening for Paws” — animals talent show, bake sale and auction (拍卖) on the square. The weeks that followed saw how busy they were. Jack persuaded some local shops to donate pet supplies, baked goods, and art works for the auction. At the same time, Grace promoted the event online, attracting attention fast. She designed posters which would appear in the neighborhood. 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。 Then came the day when the community fundraising started. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Overexcited, Mr. Frank, couldn’t be more grateful to everyone. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
