Better known as “Ms. Stephanie” online, Walsh has been featured on social media accounts with some videos drawing more than 11 million people to watch. Walsh believes the videos gained popularity because she is 75. “It’s because I’m a senior,” said Walsh. “You don’t usually see someone my age doing hip-hop and moving like that. ”But actually, it’s more than that. Just as her profile claims, Walsh’s videos are “inspiring the world to dance like no one is watching. ” “Dance isn’t just your body, it’s what you’re feeling inside about the dance and it’s what comes out here in your face,” Walsh said. “What I want to put through my movement is how much fun it is and how much joy it gives you.” From a young age, Walsh loved to dance but her family didn’t have the money for classes. When she was nearly 30, she got her daughter ballet lessons, which her daughter hated. So, she took her daughter out and started classes herself right away. Walsh believes her lifelong passion for dance is what motivates her today. “Everybody has to have a passion in their life,” she said. “It’s like that saying, ‘A life without passion is a life half lived.’ I believe that.” Walsh dances for fun and fitness, but also for therapy (心理治疗). She struggled through countless hardships, and she has more than enough reasons to keep her down. But they don’t. She turns to her faith, her friends and of course, dance, to shine as an inspiration to those around her. Gilbert, one of Walsh’s followers, says she inspires him every day. “She’s a beautiful soul who teaches me that it doesn’t matter about your age or your size. As long as you feel good, that’s all that matters,” says Gilbert. “I am truly thankful that Walsh is teaching me at the age of 32 to live my life full and stop being so scared.” 4. What motivates Walsh to do hip-hop? A. Its great social benefit. B. Its growing popularity. C Her enthusiasm for dance. D. Her hunger for reputation. 5. What contributes to her videos’ popularity according to Walsh? A. Her advanced age. B. Her smooth moves. C. Her endless energy. D. Her confident claim. 6. What will Walsh’s story probably inspire Gilbert to do? A. Be active in social media. B. Set a good example to others. C. Take full advantage of his talent. D. Adopt a positive approach to life. 7. Which is a suitable title for the text? A. Optimistic About Life: The Way to Survive B. Forever Young in Dance: An Inspiring Figure C. Embracing Social Media: The Key to Success D. Dancing with the Young: An Amazing Journey C You stayed up too late browsing through your phone, answering emails or watching just one more episode.The next morning, you feel sleepy and impatient.That dessert or sandwich suddenly looks more appealing than your usual yogurt and berries.This isn't just about willpower.Your brain, short on rest, is pushing you toward quick, high-calorie fixes． Research shows that insufficient sleep disturbs hunger signals, weakens self-control and increases your risk of weight gain.Sleep inadequacy affects millions.More than one-third of U.S.adults regularly get less than seven hours of sleep per night.Nearly three-quarters of adolescents fall short of the recommended 8-10 hours sleep during the school week.First responders, including nurses, firefighters and emergency workers, are especially vulnerable due to night shifts and varying uncontrollable schedules.These patterns disturb the body's internal clock and are linked to increased appetite, poor eating habits and elevated risks for obesity and metabolic disease． Studies show that after just one night of sleep deprivation(匮乏), reward-related areas such as the amygdala, a part of the brain that drives motivation and reward-seeking, become more reactive to inviting food.Your brain becomes more excited by junk food and less capable of resisting it．Participants in sleep deprivation studies not only rated high-calorie foods as more desirable but were also more likely to choose them, regardless of how hungry they actually felt． Sleep is as important as diet and exercise in maintaining a healthy weight．Fortunately, even a few nights of consistent, high-quality sleep can help rebalance key systems and start to reverse some of these effects.In a culture that glorifies hustle and late nights, sleep is often treated as optional.So the next time you find yourself reaching for junk food after a short night, recognize that your biology is reacting to stress．Sleep is your most powerful tool for appetite control, energy regulation and long-term health． 8．What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1? A．High-calorie foods are more attractive． B．Staying up late can make people dizzy． C．Sleep loss stimulates the brain for appetite． D．People are addicted to using mobile phones． 9．Why are first responders more likely to suffer from sleep deprivation? A．They have unhealthy lifestyles． B．They bear expectation of the society． C．They have much pressure from the workload． D．They have demanding and shifting schedules． 10．Why is the brain more likely to shift into the reward mode after sleep insufficiency? A．The brain becomes more excited and unrealistic． B．Sleep loss changes how the brain evaluates food． C．The brain reacts more quickly to the environment． D．Sleep loss changes how the body absorbs nutrients． 11．What does the author advocate in the last paragraph? A．Getting enough sleep． B．Putting down the electronics． C．Staying away from junk food． D．Controlling our weight． D By the 2020s, only 40 percent of Barbie dolls were designed with permanently arched feet for wearing high heels (高跟鞋). In the 2023 Barbie movie, the title character, played by Margot Robbie, famously panics when her always-arched feet flatten. This scene inspired Australian researchers to investigate real Barbie dolls. “When we were kids, Barbie only wore high heels,” says lead researcher Cylie Williams. “Did the actual doll develop flat feet?” Luckily, Suzanne Wakefield, one of the members of the research team, had an extensive collection of 800 Barbie dolls. That helped guide the group’s search through online lists to track Barbie’s foot position over time. They examined the feet of 2,750 dolls released between 1959 and 2024 with a custom-made angle-measuring tool to categorize their feet as either arched or flat. They also looked at the diversity of each doll, whether she was employed and when the doll was made. Findings showed a dramatic shift. Early Barbies universally featured arched feet. As Barbie expanded into diverse careers, her feet adapted. By the 2020s, only 40% had arched feet. Notably, career-focused dolls were much more likely to have flat feet than fashion-focused versions. “Originally, Barbie attended operas or balls,” explained Wakefield. “Now she skis and scuba dives — activities needing practical footwear.” To maintain independence, the researchers didn’t contact toy company Mattel over the course of their study to ask whether the arch of the doll’s feet was connected to these factors. However, in a statement to the New York Times, the company confirmed this intentional design shift, stating Barbie’s feet now support “brave steps forward” with diverse footwear. As women entered more professions, workplace dress codes became less rigid about heels. Despite the often negative reputation of high heels for health, the researchers write that women should be allowed to select their own footwear “based on task demands”, slipping their feet into whatever shoes they like best. 12. What inspired Cylie Williams to research Barbie? A. A personal collection. B. The plot of a film. C. His impression on Barbie. D. Margot Robbie’s anxiety. 13 What has Barbie reflected over time? A. Changes in women’s social roles. B. Women’s more conservative ideas. C. Society’s picky demands on women. D. Expectations for women’s looks. 14. Why does the author mention Mattel’s statement? A. To confirm the research findings. B. To criticize its traditional beliefs. C. To advocate women’s liberation. D. To stress the company’s innovation. 15. What’s the best title for the text? A. Australian Scientists Studied Barbie B. Flat Feet Are Making Barbie Healthier C. Barbie’s Feet Are Getting Less Arched D. Mattel Bravely Changed Barbie’s Shoes 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。 Eighth grader Sam Gerber carefully holds a knife to the surface of a red apple. ____16____ Beside him, his classmate Sabelle Guido waits to chop up the apple crisps (苹果脆). This is a family and consumer science class at Lincoln Middle School in Maine, US. ____17____ All eighth-graders at the school have to take it.

Nowadays, schools focus more on math, English and science classes. They think “home ec” classes are for future housewives. ____20____ Recently, a Maine lawmaker introduced a bill.

Initially, it was just a little, but then, it seemed like overnight, my face was covered with it. I tried to hide it with my hair, but it just wouldn’t work. I was consumed with worry that my peers would make fun of me. I couldn’t concentrate in class, as my mind was constantly preoccupied with my appearance, causing my grades to slip sharply. I started to feel inferior (自卑的) to my classmates and even avoid interaction with them. I tried to get rid of the acne. I washed my face multiple times a day, using all sorts of acne creams I found. I also avoided snacks that might cause it. But all ended up in vain. One day, our school announced a sports day and the teacher asked us to form our own teams. As a sports enthusiast, I had been eagerly expecting it, but I was scared that no one would join me because of how I looked. Standing in front of the mirror, I kept imagining how my classmates would react when I asked them to team up with me. The fear of rejection held me back from approaching them. But then, Kim came to me, “Do you want to join us for the relay race? I’ve seen you run before and you’ve got the speed. If you join us, we’ll have a good chance to win.” In disbelief, I managed to utter “Yes,” still feeling self-conscious but also incredibly grateful. I, together with another three classmates, signed up for the relay race. We trained for it and discussed strategies together, none paying attention to my acne. Because of my advantage in speed, I was even assigned to run the last leg, which was the most crucial part. 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 long-awaited sports day.___________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The experience was a turning point to my junior life._________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 龙川一中2026届高三10月月考英语参考答案 第一部分阅读(共两节，每小题2.5分满分50分) 1-3 BCD 4-7 CADB 8-11 CDBA 12-15 BAAC 七选五 16-20 BCFDA 第二部分语言运用(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) 21-25 CABDC 26-30 BADAC 31-35CADBB 第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 36.anticipated 37.a 38.earliest 39.with 40.were killed 41.which 42.heavily 43.awareness 44.creative 45.consulting 第三部分写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节 基础写作 (满分15分) Dear Miss Zhao,      I’m Li Hua, a high school student.

When the third runner approached, I grabbed the baton firmly and sprinted like the wind. Cheers erupted as I overtook two opponents. Crossing the finish line first, I saw my teammates rushing towards me with joyful screams. To my surprise, classmates patted my shoulder excitedly, their eyes shining with admiration instead of judgment. Kim hugged me, “You’re our superhero!” No one mentioned my acne — they only remembered my flying figure on the track. The experience was a turning point to my junior life. Gradually I realized people valued my abilities more than my appearance. I started raising my hand in class again and joined the school basketball team. Though acne still occasionally troubled me, I stopped hiding behind my hair. When a new student once asked about my skin, Kim immediately defended, “That’s just his warrior paint from saving our relay race!” We all laughed, and I finally understood true friendship sees beyond surfaces. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $龙川一中2026届高三10月月考 英语答题卡 高三()班姓名 试室号 座位号 注意事项： 条形码粘贴处 1、答题前，考生务必用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔填写班级、姓名和座位号。 2、保持卡面清洁，不要折叠，不要弄破。 1 [A][B][C][D] 6[A][B][C][D] 11 [A][B][C][D] 2[A][B][C][D] 7[A][B][C][D] 12 [A][B][C][D] 3 [A][B][C][D] 8[A][B][C][D] 13 [A][B][C]D] 4 [A][B][C][D] 9[A][B][C][D] 14 [A][B][C][D] 5[A][B][C][D] 1O[A][B][C][D] 15[A][B][C[D] 16 [A][B][C] [D][E][F][G] 17 [A] [B][C] [D][E][F][G] 18 [A][B][CJ[D][E] [F][G] 19 [A][B][C][D][E][F][G] 20 [A][B][C] [D][E][F][G] 21[A] [B][C][D] 26[A][B][C][D] 31 [A][B][C][D] 22 [A] [B][C][D] 27 [A][B][C][D] 32 [A] [B] [C][D] 23 [A] [B][C] [D] 28 [A][B][C][D] 33 [A][B][C][D] 24 [A][B][C][D] 29 [A][B][C][D] 34 [A][B][C][D] 25[A][B][C][D] 30 [A][B][C][D] 35 [A][B] [c][D] 第三部分 写作（共两节，满分40分) 第一节 基础写作（共1小题；满分15分) 第二部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 第三部分写作（共两节，满分40分) 第二节书面表达（满分25分） Then came the long-awaited sports day.
