We’re sure they will take your breath away. Capri’s Blue Grotto The Blue Grotto in Capri is one of Italy’s main draws for the incredible blue light visible within the cave. The peculiar effect is caused by sunlight passing through a deep underwater cavity and shining back up through the water. The mouth of the sea cave is only a meter high, so visitors will find it difficult to enter it, unless they take small boats. The Tuscan Countryside Few views are as attractive as those of Italy’s rural Tuscan hills, where rolling landscapes stretch endlessly under a golden sun. Lined with cypress trees, the countryside is all at once quiet and calm, while its vibrant shades of green and yellow are a feast for the eyes, creating a picturesque scene that feels like stepping into a masterpiece of nature and human harmony. Cliffs (悬崖) of Moher The attractive Cliffs of Moher in Ireland are a sight to behold — the rugged cliffs rise up 214m high from the water and are 7km long. With the Atlantic Ocean continuously breaking onto the cliffs and heavy winds greeting you along the edge, this dramatic landscape represents the force of nature in its purest form. Plitvice Lakes National Park The Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia is a standout attraction and well worth a day trip. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is famous for its waterfalls, caves, and lakes, which were created due to water flowing through limestone for centuries, demonstrating the enduring strength and transformative power of nature over time. 21. Why might visitors struggle to visit the Blue Grotto? A. Because of the low entrance. B. Because of a lack of lighting. C. Because of the deep water. D. Because of a lot of invisible rapids. 22. What makes the Tuscan countryside appealing? A. Bare trees. B. Colorful lights. C. Rich night life. D. Peaceful rural scenery. 23. What do the last two attractions both show? A. The mystery of stone caves. B. The power of natural forces. C. The history of local cultures. D. The steepness of attractive cliffs. B As the founder of Code Blue CPR, Sullivan dedicates himself to teaching the vital skills of CPR and using defibrillator (除颤器), both at home and globally. Earlier this year, the old man set out on an inspiring journey to the Himalayas, where he installed what he proudly calls the world’s highest defibrillator. In the challenging environment of Qomolangma, where climbers face numerous risks, the timely use of a defibrillator can significantly boost survival rates from cardiac arrest (心搏停止), increasing the chances from 8% to over 50% within the first three minutes. To ensure the defibrillator was fully operational, Sullivan climbed to an impressive altitude of over 18,000 feet before descending to a nearby village at around 17,000 feet for the installation. He returned from this incredible adventure on April 30th and was thrilled to learn just weeks later that the device had successfully saved a 30-year-old French woman who had suffered a cardiac arrest. “It was the proudest moment of my life when I learned what had happened,” said Sullivan. A Sherpa informed him of the successful use of the defibrillator. He hopes it will inspire others to understand the importance of having access to such lifesaving equipment. During his time in Nepal Sullivan also took the opportunity to share what he knew about CPR and defibrillator training with local villagers, many of whom had never received such instruction before. Now back in the UK, he is busy preparing to present a training initiative to the government aimed at equipping 1.2 million children across London with essential CPR skills. Sullivan conceives a future where every school is equipped with a defibrillator and where every student, teacher, and staff member is trained to save lives. He emphasized the need for widespread training. He gave an example: Once, around 30 people watching nearby couldn’t help a person in cardiac arrest because they lacked the necessary knowledge. 24. Why did Sullivan install the defibrillator in the Himalayas? A. To lift climbers’ survival chances. B. To advertise his new defibrillator. C. To promote his CPR training company. D. To test the device in extreme conditions. 25. What did the author want to show by mentioning the French woman’s survival? A. Climbing mountains was risky. B. Sullivan’s effort paid off. C. There were too few defibrillators. D. Sullivan’s journey was adventurous. 26. What did Sullivan do when staying at Nepal? A. He presented a training initiative. B. He inspired people to extend CPR. C. He installed defibrillators across the country. D. He provided relevant knowledge on CPR training for locals. 27. What does the underlined word “conceives” in the last paragraph mean? A. Imagines. B. Announces. C. Witnesses. D. Doubts. C Caffeine has long been linked to potential health benefits, including reduced risk of age-related diseases. But, until now, how it works inside our cells, and what exactly is its connection with nutrient and stress responsive gene and protein networks have remained a mystery. In new research on fission yeast (裂殖酵母), a single-celled organism surprisingly similar to human cells, researchers found that caffeine affects ageing by employing an ancient cellular energy system. A few years ago, the same research team found that caffeine helps cells live longer by acting on a growth regulator called Target of Rapamycin (TOR). TOR is a biological switch that tells cells when to grow, based on how much food and energy is available. This switch has been controlling energy and stress responses in living things for over 500 million years. But in their latest study, the scientists made a surprising discovery: Caffeine doesn’t act on this growth switch directly. Instead, it works by activating another important system called AMPK, a cellular fuel gauge (测量仪器) that is evolutionarily conserved in yeast and humans. “When your cells are low on energy, AMPK kicks in to help them cope,” explains Dr Charalampos, the study’s senior author. “Importantly, our results show that caffeine helps turn on that switch.” Using their yeast model, the researchers showed that caffeine’s effect on AMPK influences how cells grow, repair their DNA, and respond to stress—all of which are tied to ageing and disease. “These findings help explain why caffeine might be beneficial to health and longevity,” said Dr John-Patrick, a postdoctoral research scientist leading this study. “And they open up exciting possibilities for future research into how we might flip these effects more directly—with diet, lifestyle, or new medicines. 28. What is the main purpose of the new research mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To find new use of caffeine in medicine. B. To identify how caffeine influences cell ageing. C. To explore the history of caffeine consumption. D. To compare human cells with fission yeast cells. 29. What does TOR serve as? A. An obvious sign of ageing. C. A growth command center. B. An energy source. D. A cellular fuel gauge. 30. Which aspect does John-Patrick state about the research in the last paragraph? A. Its disadvantages. B. Its potential. C. Its characteristics. D. Its economic benefits. 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. AMPK Is Conserved in Yeast and Humans for Long B. Fission Yeast Is Surprisingly Similar to Human Cells C. The Yeast Model Unlocks Ageing’s Hidden Pathways D. Your Morning Coffee Flips an Ancient Longevity Switch D In recent years, research into using robots as carers or nurses has grown significantly. A team led by a famous professor is developing a robot called Nadine. This robot can monitor a patient’s physical and mental condition, call for help in emergencies, and engage in conversations. “The robot never experiences exhaustion or boredom,” the professor remarks. “The robot could be caring for the elderly within 10 years, although they are far from perfect now.” Some major technology companies are also actively involved in the research of robo-nurses. However, a researcher admits that not everyone is receptive to the idea of having a robot as a carer. This perspective is supported by a research company, which revealed resistance to the use of humanoid robots in elderly care. People feel uneasy about the thought of their parents being attended to by “machines”. Although the extensive use of humanoid robots may still be in the distant future, robo-pets have already found applications worldwide. A therapeutic robo-seal, developed in Japan, has been shown to relieve the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (痴呆). A doctor states, “Some patients who were previously non-verbal started speaking again first to the seal, and then to others about the seal.” The doctor acknowledges that there are limitations to robo-pets, especially the high cost. One such robo-pet is priced at about $5,000. Robotic solutions also have their disadvantages. Another expert points out that one concern is whether the popularity of humanoid carers could lead to the further loneliness of the elderly. “We must pose the question: Are robots isolating people more, or truly helping them?” he says. He also mentions that the use of robotics raises issues regarding personal data security. Despite these doubts, the expert believes that the development of robo-care is inevitable. 32. What can Nadine do according to the text? A. Cook meals for patients. B. Monitor nurses and doctors. C. Look after patients. D. Do heavy work for the elderly. 33. Why do some people dislike the idea of using humanoid robots in elderly care? A. Robots are too expensive. B. Robots cannot relieve dementia symptoms. C. They think robots fail to handle emergencies. D. They disbelieve machines’ caring for loved ones. 34. What can we infer about robo-pets from the text? A. They are only available in Japan at present. B. The low price makes them accessible to most people. C. They are more widely accepted than humanoid robots. D. They have successfully cured dementia in many patients. 35. What is the author’s overall attitude to robotic carers? A. Objective. B. Appreciative. C. Opposed. D. Indifferent. 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。 A Guide to Self-improvement We often hear about self-improvement, but real growth requires stepping out of our comfort zones. Imagine getting just 1% better each day — by the end of the year, you wouldn’t be 365% better, but nearly 38 times better! ____36____ Here are five practical ways to turn this idea into action. Practice mindfulness daily. ____37____ Instead of wasting time on your phone, spend a few minutes each day on mindfulness. You can try deep breathing, reflecting on your day, going outside, or writing down your thoughts. ____38____ This doesn’t mean skydiving, bungee jumping off a bridge and so on. Instead, take a difficult but interesting class, apply to your dream college, or speak up in class even when you’re nervous. These small brave acts build confidence and help you find your true abilities. Set a clear and meaningful goal. Choose a clear achievable goal — like reading one book a month, running a 5K, or getting top grades. Avoid overly big goals that may reduce your motivation. ____39____ A shared journey makes goals more motivating. Learn something new consistently. Pick something you’re curious about — cooking, playing the guitar, or coding — and practice a little each day. ____40____ Growth isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being brave, mindful, and willing to try. Challenge yourself a bit each day, and in 365 days, you’ll see a stronger and more capable version of yourself. A. You can get a friend’s support. B. Try extreme sport once in a while. C. Say “yes” to something that scares you. D. Mental health is as important as physical health. E. Your progress each day is not significant enough. F. The goal is to explore and grow, not to master it. G. The real challenge lies in these small consistent actions. 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。 Aaron Robinson passed something of a milestone on Sunday.

My teacher, Mr Clark, said the award wasn’t just about good grades, but for students who showed great character, like being honest, responsible, and kind to others, even when no one was watching. My mom had a good reputation for her honesty in the community, and she always shared the stories behind it. She once said to me, “Good grades could open doors, but strong morals and virtues would guide you through them.” So, I took all her words to heart. I worked very hard. I helped my classmates with their homework, and I always followed the school rules. When Mr Clark announced my name, I was so happy. My best friend, Sarah, gave me a big smile. I couldn’t wait to tell my mom. The award was a small, shiny badge (徽章). I pinned it to my schoolbag with pride. For a whole week, I felt like I was on top of the world. My mom said she was proud of me. However, something happened. I was looking for my English book in my schoolbag when I found something that made my heart stop. It was Sarah’s math competition medal. She was looking for it everywhere last week, even crying because she thought she had lost it forever. I felt terrible. I remembered that last week, I had borrowed her math book, and the medal must have fallen into my bag accidentally. But if I told everyone the truth, what would they think? Would they say I was a thief? My parents would be disappointed, and my friends might laugh at me. I thought about just putting the medal in Sarah’s desk secretly. No one would know, and I could keep my perfect image. It seemed like the easiest way out. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Not knowing what to do, I found my parents and poured out my story. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Influenced by my mom’s story, I went to school with a clear purpose. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2025—2026学年第一学期半期考 高三英语试卷 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号，考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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?

During the activity, with the park management’s permission, we worked in teams to accomplish different tasks. Some of us picked up litter around, while others planted flowers and trees in bare areas. Besides, many placed signs to remind visitors of eco-friendly practices. Finally, we were proud of the “green corner” that had buzzed with teamwork, and we were glad to find the park had become cleaner and greener. The activity beautified the park, turning it into a more pleasant place for the community. More importantly, it inspired us, modern young people, to take greater responsibility for our surroundings. 第二节（满分25分） 【67题答案】 【答案】参考范文： Not knowing what to do, I found my parents and poured out my story. They listened, and then my mom shared her story, “When I was at high school, I found a beautiful silver necklace in the restroom. I loved it and could have kept it. But finally, I chose to be an honest person and handed it over to the lost and found. Later, I learned that it belonged to a schoolgirl, which was a gift from her grandmother. Seeing her joy, I knew I had done the right thing.” Her story resonated with me, and I knew what I should do next. Influenced by my mom’s story, I went to school with a clear purpose. First, I found Sarah and returned the medal, apologizing for my mistake. Sarah was so overjoyed to have it back. Then I went to Mr Clark and told him the whole story. After hearing it, he smiled. “Alex,” he said, “anyone can make a mistake. But it takes real courage and integrity to correct it. You have shown me today that you truly deserve your award.” His words made me feel that the badge on my bag was finally earned, and it felt better than ever before. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意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。现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club, can I help you?
