I picked up the phone and called her halfway across the world. As I waited for her to pick up, my concerns kept growing every second. Finally she was on the phone. Without waiting for her “Hello”, I said, “It's me. I just want to tell you I really miss you. I know we aren't as close as some sisters, but that doesn't mean I'm not missing you a ton.” For a long time there was nothing but silence on the other end of the line. Finally she spoke. Her voice sounded as though it came from nearby. “I've been sitting here, all alone, thinking about you guys back home, too. Your voice makes me feel as though I were right there with you,” she said very quickly just as I did. “I miss you, too. I'm counting down the days before I can go home.” 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026届高三第一学期英语90分钟限时练（一） 第一部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A PARIS, FRANCE Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa receives her own fan mail each week.

One early morning at 2:30, I arrived at a dimly lit apartment building to pick up a passenger. Most drivers would just honk and wait, but I knocked — experience had taught me that late-night fares often needed extra help. An elderly woman in her 80s answered, dressed like she’d stepped out of an old film. Her apartment was bare, its furniture covered. As we slowly made our way to the cab, she leaned heavily on my arm, thanking me repeatedly for my patience. “It’s nothing,” I said. “I just treat passengers how I’d want my mother treated.” Once settled in the backseat, she requested a detour (绕行) through downtown. I hesitated — until she whispered, “I’m on my way to a hospice (临终安养院). I’m in no hurry.” In that moment, I turned off the meter. For the next two hours, we traveled through the sleeping city as she guided me to landmarks of her life: The office building where she’d worked, the apartment where she and her late husband began their life, a warehouse that had once been a ballroom where she’d twirled in her youth. At each location, she’d grow quiet, staring at shadows where her memories lived. As dawn painted the horizon pink, she sighed, “I’m tired. Let’s go now.” We arrived at the hospice. As I helped her into a wheelchair, she tried to pay. “You owe me nothing,” I said. On impulse, I bent down and embraced her. She held on tighter than I expected. “You’ve given an old woman one last moment of joy,” she whispered. Then I drove away, haunted by her words. That quiet night taught me that life’s most meaningful moments often come disguised as small acts of kindness. 4. Why did the driver knock on the passenger’s door? A. Apartment rules required no honking at night. B. Dim lighting made honking ineffective there. C. Night fares often needed special assistance. D. Elderly passengers preferred personal contact. 5. How did the woman react at her life landmarks? A. She compared old and new city views. B. She silently revisited past memories. C. She requested photos of each location. D. She described youthful adventures vividly. 6. What does the woman’s tight hug imply? A. Anxiety about entering hospice alone. B. Physical weakness required support to stand. C. Emotional gratitude for the journey given. D. Regret about being unable to pay the fare. 7. Which saying conveys the driver’s lesson? A. Time heals all wounds. B. Small kindnesses have great impacts. C. He who helps others helps himself. D. Actions speak louder than words. C A number of well-known factors, including exposure to UV radiation, genetics, and aging, can lead to cataracts (白内障), a condition affecting roughly 94 million people, in which the lenses of the eyes become cloudy, causing blurry vision. But in recent years, researchers have found another causative (成为原因的) factor for cataracts and other eye disorders: climate change. Climate change is increasing risks to eye health in multiple ways. First, it is making the planet hotter. Body temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) can cause heatstroke, a condition that disrupts biological processes throughout the body. In the eyes, heatstroke damages the natural defense systems that normally fight against the buildup of harmful molecules called reactive oxygen species, explains Lucía Lucas, an ophthalmologist at Hospital of La Axarquía in Spain’s Málaga province. Another way global warming is contributing to eye disorders is by increasing our exposure to UV radiation, according to Lucas and study co-author José María, a geographer at the University of Málaga. Some of this exposure is driven by behavior — people tend to spend more time outdoors when it’s warm. But in some places, such as Southern California and the Costa del Sol in Spain, hot, dry winds decrease the water vapor in the air that would normally absorb UV radiation, resulting in greater UV exposure. UV radiation also generates reactive oxygen species that damage the eye lens and can directly damage the DNA of lens cells, Lucas adds. There are ways to protect the eyes from climate-driven damage. First and foremost, outdoor workers should be given sufficient shade and frequent breaks to cool down, says Jesús Rodrigo, a geographer at the University of Granada and a co-author of the Spanish study. He also recommends wearing a hat with a visor (遮阳帽舌) that shields the eyes, as well as UV-filtering sunglasses: Sunglasses offer nearly 38 percent more protection than wearing nothing, Rodrigo says. 8. How does heatstroke damage eyes? A. By accelerating aging of eye lenses. B. By raising body temperature to 104°F. C. By directly clouding the eye’s lens structure. D. By weakening defenses against harmful molecules. 9. Why do some regions have increased UV exposure? A. Clouds fail to block UV radiation. B. Higher temperatures increase UV intensity. C. People outdoors neglect UV protection. D. Hot winds reduce UV-absorbing water vapor. 10. What can be inferred about eye protection? A. Sunglasses alone prevent most climate-related damage. B. Hats with visors block more UV than sunglasses. C.Combining strategies offers better protection. D. Outdoor workers face lower risks with frequent breaks. 11. Which title best summarizes the text? A. Global Crisis: Climate Change Blindness B. UV Radiation’s Role in Cataract Formation C. Fighting Reactive Oxygen in Eye Disorders D. Climate Change: An Emerging Eye Health Threat D In a new study, the researchers examined trends in subjective well-being (幸福) over the course of a lifespan based on 443 samples from a total of 460,902 participants. “We focused on changes in three central components of subjective well-being: life satisfaction, positive emotional states and negative emotional states,” explains Professor Susanne Bücker. The findings show that life satisfaction decreased between the ages of 9 and 16, then increased slightly until the age of 70, and then decreased once again until the age of 96. Positive emotional states showed a general decline from age 9 to age 94, while negative emotional states fluctuated (波动) slightly between ages 9 and 22, then declined until age 60 and then increased once again. The authors identified greater median changes in positive and negative emotional states than in life satisfaction. “Overall, the study indicated a positive trend over a wide period of life, if we look at life satisfaction and negative emotional states,” Susanne Bücker concludes. The researchers attribute (把……归因于) the slight decline in life satisfaction between the ages of 9 and 16 to, for example, changes to the body and to the social life that take place during puberty. Satisfaction rose again from young adulthood onwards. Positive feelings tended to decrease from childhood to late adulthood. In very late adulthood, all components of subjective well-being tended to worsen rather than improve. “This could be related to the fact that in very old people, physical performance decreases, health often worsens, and social contacts reduce; not least because their peers pass away,” calculates the researcher. The study highlights the need to consider and promote subjective well-being with its various components across the life, as the authors of the study conclude. Their findings could provide significant guidance for the development of intervention programmes, especially those aimed at maintaining or improving subjective well-being late in life. 12. What is exactly the subject of the study? A. Life satisfaction of the elderly. B.Factors affecting positive emotional states. C. Ways to control negative emotional states. D.Trends in lifelong subjective well-being. 13. When do all components of subjective well-being go worse? A.At middle age. B. During childhood. C. In late adulthood. D. In young adulthood. 14. What is the positive significance of this study? A. Teaching to improve physical performance. B. Giving suggestions on the lifetime increase. C. Providing a theoretical basis for healthy growth. D. Guiding to improve the well-being of the elderly. 15. What’s the best title for the text? A. When does happiness matter most to us? B. What does subjective well-being consist of? C. Why will we be more positive as we get older? D. How does subjective well-being develop over the lifetime? 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。 Need to Solve a Problem? Try a Power Nap Stuck on a difficult task? New research suggests a 20-minute nap might spark creative solutions. 16 Scientists asked 90 healthy adults to complete a computer task involving moving dots. Unbeknownst to them, the dots’ direction was secretly linked to colors. 17 The remaining 75 participants then took a 20-minute nap while their brain activity was monitored. After napping, participants retried the task. Results showed 85.7% who reached N2 sleep (a deeper non-REM stage) discovered the hidden pattern. Only 63.6% in lighter N1 sleep succeeded. Merely 55.5% of non-sleepers figured it out. 18 N1 is characterized as light sleep, typically lasting under 10 minutes, whereas N2 represents a deeper non-REM stage from which waking is more challenging, often spanning 30 to 60 minutes in duration. Though the exact brain mechanism is unclear, researchers believe naps make the brain “more open to new ideas.” 19 This might explain why naps trigger “aha!” moments. Great minds like Thomas Edison used similar techniques. He napped holding steel balls — if he slept too deeply, the clatter woke him. 20 Modern science now confirms deeper N2 sleep benefits complex problem-solving. While naps aren’t a universal solution, this study proves targeted rest can unlock hidden insights. Next time you’re stuck, try a power nap! A. Strategic naps may fuel daily innovation. B. This proves specific sleep stages matter. C. He likely only reached light N1 sleep. D. Earlier no-nap tests had lower success rates. E. Brainwaves showed deep sleep before insights. F. REM sleep involves dreams but wasn’t studied. G. 15 participants spotted the pattern early and left. 第二部分语言运用（共两节, 满分30分） 第一节（共15小题; 每小题1分, 满分15分） One afternoon, I stared at an old picture frame unused for years.

Under a soft spotlight, her voice rose and fell, complemented by background music from Yangqin, 37 (guide) a roomful of viewers through plots of a local legend and tugging at their heartstrings. As a 38 (culture) worker from the Guang’an district cultural center in Sichuan, she delivered the graduation 39 (perform) after a 30-day training stint along with dozens of other students from different cultural and art fields. With 40 (drama) expressiveness, they brought the soul of Sichuan Yangqin 41 life through weaving tales of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Dream of the Red Chamber, and local 42 (folktale).

I'm a just simple-minded girl, at least in her eyes, while she is literally the symbol of perfection. When I was young I wanted to be like her. If she wore her hair in a new style one day, I would do the same with mine the following day. I always tried to follow her and her friends around and begged to be included, but her life didn't really have much space for a bothersome two-year-younger sister. Over time, my admiration for her had turned into indifference. Living in the same apartment as strangers, we barely spoke to each other. I even felt relieved in secret when she informed me this year that she would be spending eight months studying abroad. I assumed I'd use her video player and wear the dresses she left behind. That was the only way l thought her leaving would affect me. I sat in my room that first evening after she departed and tried to concentrate on my homework. However, I couldn't get rid of the feeling that something was wrong, or something was missing. I looked around the apartment and everything was the same. But it was so silent that I could hear my own breathing. I went to Tina's room. Both her video player and her talk on the phone with her friends were absent. When I sat down on her bed, I became sharply aware of how different my life was without her. Even though we didn't always talk, just having her there made me feel secure. Sitting there, I looked back at the wasted years and regretted trying to live my own life and overlooking hers. I felt particularly bad because I had not even given her a hug before she boarded her plane, and that made my heart ache. 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。 As the night went on, I decided to do something to make it up. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ For a long time there was nothing but silence on the other end of the line. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
