As she was getting her business off the ground,Kristina emailed race directors to ask if their event used disposable(-次性的)cups.“"The answer was always yes,”she said..Her response,“If you're looking for a sustainable solution,I have one."Now she rents out the cups by the thousand,driving them to events in big bags and leaving bins (with the company logo for collection after use. Kristina picks up the used cups and washes them in a specialized dishwasher. "It's just a solution to a problem that has been around for a long time,"Kristina said.Nevertheless, one trade-off is that the cup rentals cost race directors more than other options.Disposable cups might run just a few cents each,while 10,000 reusable cups would rent for about 15 cents each. Gleeson,of Project Drawdown,sees the reusable cups as just one of many ways that innovators( are looking to cut down on plastic waste.Such solutions often have to be rooted in convenience and grounded in local applications to get more people to adopt them.Some cities,for instance,are experimenting with reusable food takeout containers that customers return to nearby drop-off spots later on. While no one solution can fully tackle the problem,"The potential is there,"Gleeson said."I think in general,high adoption of these kinds of solutions is what is able to bring costs down and really maximize environmental benefits that you could get." 24.What inspired Kristina to design reusable cups? A.The suggestion from marathon race directors. B.Her own experience in reducing plastic waste C.High price paid by marathon runners for cups. D.The huge number of cups wasted in a marathon. 25.What is the main challenge of Kristina's reusable cups? A.High rental cost. B.Poor user experience. C.Unsatisfying quality. D.Complex washing process. 26.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A.Reusable cups are sufficient to reduce plastic waste. B.Innovators should attach importance to reducing costs. C.Solutions should fit local use and be convenient for adopters. D.Cities have made great progress in reducing plastic waste. 27.What is the author's purpose in writing this article? A.To describe the ways of producing reusable cups. B.To compare the costs of single-use and reusable cups C.To criticize race events for causing environmental damage D.To report a rental-cup plan for reducing plastic waste in races. 高三英语试卷第4页共10页 C Scientists are advancing forward in brain-computer interface (BCD)technology,and a newly developed system can translate our thoughts into text or sound. It's essentially an inner speech decoder(),developed by researchers from institutions across the US.In tests on four volunteers with severe disabilities,the decoder has an accuracy rate of up to 74 percent in translating thoughts into audible speech.The potential here is for a BCI that can help those with speech disabilities to communicate more effectively than ever before. Previous BCIs have relied on brain activity that is created when a person tries to speak or write, even though their bodies cannot carry out the action.This new technology gets a step closer to the source."If you just have to think about speech instead of actually trying to speak,it's potentially easier and faster for people,"says neuroscientist Benyamin Meschede-Krasa,from Stanford University in the US. Machine learning was used to train the BCI to connect brain signals to words as the four participants thought about them.The researchers found that there was overlap between certain brain patterns when the volunteers tried to speak and when they only imagined words and phrases.Despite this,the signals could be distinguished from each other.With some probability calculations thrown in, the new BCI can recognize up to 125,000 words using only inner speech."We found that we could decode these signals well enough to demonstrate a proof of principle,although still not as well as we could with attempted speech,"says neuroscientist Frank Willett,from Stanford University. There's still a long way to go there,and the BCI often falls far short of that 74 maximum accuracy rating.However,by employing more advanced technology,the researchers are confident that the system can be quickly improved over the next few years."This work gives real hope that speech BCIs can one day restore communication that is as fluent,natural,and comfortable as conversational speech,"says Willett. 28.How does the new BCI system differ from previous ones? A.It helps healthy people communicate fluently. B.It doesn't require the user to try to speak or write. C.It uses a more advanced machine learning model. D.It can identify more words with higher accuracy. 29.What does the underlined word "overlap"in paragraph 4 refer to? A.Gap B.Conflict. C.Balance. D.Similarity. 30.What is the main problem with the new BCI? A.Security. B.Speed. C.Accuracy. D.Convenience. 31.What is the text mainly about? A.A breakthrough in decoding inner speech. B.The working principle of a new BCI system. C.Differences between a new BCI and previous ones. D.Challenges for people with severe speech disabilities. 高三英语试卷第5页共10页 D Under the baking sun,Xu Xiaolong and his colleagues walked through wild grass in the Gobi Desert,scanning the rocky foothills of Helan Mountain in Yinchuan,Northwest China's Ningxia Hui autonomous region,in search of ancient carvings.Upon finding a pattern on a rock,the team immediately photographed and recorded its location. "This field survey not only assesses the preservation status of previously discovered rock carvings but also helps identify and record new ones,"says Xu,36,who works with the city's Helan Mountain rock art administration.He explains that the work lays the foundation for subsequent(protection efforts. Stretching 250 kilometers,Helan Mountain is home to more than 20,000 ancient rock carvings created by early residents with stones or metal tools.Dating back approximately 10,000 to 3,000 years, the carvings describe diverse subjects ranging from natural images like human faces,animals and handprints,to ancient life scenes like hunting and herding () Launched in 2020,the administration has surveyed over 12 square kilometers in and around the Helan Mountain rock art ruins park.Among the carvings,one is characterized by two handprints-one large and the other small."The handprints likely symbolize'me'and you',carved into the rock to reach an agreement,"says Zhang Jianguo,deputy director of the administration.He adds that attaching a handprint to documents like contracts was a traditional practice in China,and this rock carving reflects that lasting cultural continuity. Within the park,the deepest carving reaches 1.5 centimeters,a depth that has survived many years of weathering.Through an experiment,the administration found that even three people carving throughout an entire day left only unclear marks,indicating that a single work likely took multiple generations of prehistoric people to complete. Despite their historic significance,the rock carvings face typical preservation challenges like weathering and rainwater.Throughout the entire conservation journey,concrete efforts including field surveys,the construction of flood-prevention dams and protective fencing have been made by workers from the Helan Mountain rock art administration. 32.Why do the researchers study rock carvings in Helan Mountain? A.To show prehistoric carving skills. B.To reveal ancient local life and culture. C.To help restore a ruined rock art park. D.To attract tourists to Helan Mountain. 33.What do the two handprints in paragraph 4 probably represent? A.A mark pointing to Helan Mountain. B.A record of an ancient hunting activity. C.A conventional way of signing a contract D.A gesture indicating family relationship. 34.What can we learn about the rock carving in paragraph 5? A.It was a long-term project. B.It was created in good weather. C.It was completed within limited time D.It was discovered in an experiment. 高三英语试卷第6页共10页 35.What is a suitable title for the text? A.A race against time to rescue rock carvings B.Advanced techniques to protect rock carvings C.A living museum of culture in Helan Mountain D.A symbolic handprint carving in ancient China 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。 Have you felt tired and frustrated by your schedule or workload lately?If so,you may be overcommitted ()Overcommitment occurs when you push your boundaries and take on more duties than you can handle at once.36 There are plenty of solutions to stop it. Think before you commit.Before you say "yes"to something,take some time to evaluate the commitment and your schedule.Can you add this task or activity to your list?Is it something you can complete without stretching yourself too thin?37 Set boundaries and stick to them.Making clear boundaries for your professional and personal life is a great and healthy way to avoid overcommitment.38 This can be as simple as turning off your phone at a specific point each night or leaving work behind at the office. 39 Not everything is set in stone.If a new duty comes around that's more important than others,do your best to rearrange your to-do list.For instance,when you receive an email from your boss asking you to complete an assignment for tomorrow morning's meeting by the end of the day,you can replace the time to work on a task due at the end of the week with the high-priority task. Ask for help when you need it.There's no shame in getting a little extra help now and then, especially when you're stressed out!Don't hesitate to reach out to your boss,coworker,or loved one if you need an extra hand with a commitment. 40 It is important to remember that it is not weak to ask for help.In fact,it shows that you are strong enough to voice your own needs. A.Accommodate to a tight schedule. B.Adjust your commitments to your schedule. C.Ask these questions to help decide which task is your top priority. D.You know your limits,so set them to protect your overall well-being. E.While many people face overcommitment,it doesn't have to be a permanent feeling. F.Sometimes,having even the smallest thing taken off your plate can make a big difference G.Ask yourself these questions to help decide whether or not a commitment is worth your energy. 高三英语试卷第7页共10页 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。 When Kevin Rider left his house one morning,he thought he was simply going out for another jog.

I remember the day when Shyla was brought to our house.She was only eight weeks old,and she came with a bag of puppy food and a lot of instructions.That night she whimpered and cried.Jed said she missed her puppy brothers and sisters. "She can sleep in my bed,"I told Jed,but he said Shyla could never sleep on any furniture,not even the couch.He rolled out his sleeping bag on the floor and lay down with Shyla by his bed.I put my sleeping bag on the other side of Shyla."Remember,Jenny,everything we do for Shyla is because of the blind person she'll work for later on,"Jed said to me.He had his arm around Shyla and his eyes were closed."If her blind person wakes up in the night and needs her,Shyla will have to be right there on the floor by the bed,"added Jed. When I woke up early the next morning,Jed was already heading out the back door with Shyla in his arms.I hurried to go along.I thought maybe we'd all play in the yard before breakfast.But Jed said no.It wasn't playtime.Our puppy needed to learn to go to the bathroom outside.Jed brought her back in right away,saying"Good dog!" I did get to play with Shyla then.But we stayed in the kitchen behind the baby gates where Mom used to keep me safe when I was little.Everything was more fun with Shyla around.Even dinner time. Jed trained Shyla to lie on the floor near his left foot every time he ate."That's where the blind person will need her to be,"he explained. 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。 After Shyla was 13 weeks old,we took her everywhere. △ △ 4 ▲ Last week our year was up. △ ▲ 4 △ 高三英语试卷第10页共10页
