2025-2026学年度第一学期高三学业水平测试模拟考试英语试卷 （考试时间75分钟 满分100分） 第一部分 选择题 (共两节，满分70分) 第一节 阅读理解 (共20 小题；每小题2分，满分40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 Chinese New Year is right around the corner! This is the time of year when we “sweep away the dust". We give our homes a good, thorough cleaning. We do this in order to make a clean, first start in the new year. Another great way to start fresh is to get rid of all the clutter. Over a year ago, I did just that. In preparation for a move, I found a lot of things were not used. So I gave away around 75 percent of my clothes. I got rid of 60 percent of my furnishings. A first, I was afraid I would miss those things. However, I soon realized what a burden on my life that excess had become. I found that caring for fewer things means more time to spend with friends and family. Here are some benefits simply: More free time. The more things you own, the more time you’ spend cleaning and organizing them. Keep only the items you need, use or enjoy. You’ll be surprised at how much time you’ll have to do what you actually want to do. More money. As you stop buying things you don’t need, your finances will improve. You can save the extra money and take a special trip or an interesting class instead. Learn to reward yourself with rich experiences, not things. Changed values. Once you break the accumulation (累积) habit, your values shift. You come to realize that things don’t bring lasting happiness. True joy comes from making memories with loved ones. Living simply lowers your stress level, improves your health and allows you to focus on what’s important. The good news is that you don’t have to wait for a holiday to start living simply. Start living with less today and discover the peace and happiness this lifestyle can bring. 1. We clean our homes when Chinese New Year is coming because __________. A. we will have a lot of visitors B. we want to have a good new beginning C. we don’t like some old clothes any more D. we are making preparations for a move 2. The underlined word “clutter” in Paragraph 2 probably means “something ________”. A. ugly B. strange C. old-fashioned D. unnecessary 3. After the writer got rid of some of her clothes, she ________. A. got a feeling of joy B. missed those things C. regretted her decisions D. began to buy new clothes 4. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A. Living with less B. Buying things you need C. Having a thorough cleaning D. Discovering lasting happiness B The Tanzania Forestry Services Agency (TFS), has started using the technology of systems to monitor fire indicators and events, through the Internet through satellites. The systems will enable conservationists to take quick action in such incidents and control them, in cooperation with other stakeholders(利益相关者). Nyinondi, who is an expert in forest fire monitoring, said that the purpose of building that capacity is for conservationists to receive messages about fire incidents in the areas they manage through smart phones. He said that finding these incidents quickly and identifying the fire indicators will make it easier for them to control and reach these incidents more quickly and put them out. He said the digital system uses satellites sponsored by the American space agencies and other European countries. "This is a system that brings productivity quickly and it is also a friendly system. What is needed is to have a smart phone and use the internet to log in and see fire incidents in various places, so that if you are in the neighborhood, take precautions early," he said. He also said that the technology is there, TFS will continue to train its experts who will reach out to the people and teach them the systems, which will help people to take precautions in the future. And the Conservation Officer, Zarina Shaweji, from the Uluguru Nature Reserve, said that the training they received in using satellites using the internet to identify or find indicators of fire occurring in the forest, has been important. He said that this method enables the conservationists even when they are outside the forests to identify the fire that occurs in the forest, by getting a message on the phone. 5. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. satellites B. such incidents C. a smart phone D. the Internet 6. Having built the systems aims to ________. A. enable the conservationists to monitor and manage fire incidents B. enable the conservationists to put out fires quickly C. teach the conservationists how to operate satellites D. make the conservationists use smart phones correctly 7. Although the technology is there, TFS will go on to___________. A. teach more people to use the systems to monitor fire incidents B. train its experts to teach more people the systems to take precautions in the future C. train more experts to use the systems to take precautions in the future D. to use the internet to identify or find indicators of fire by satellites 8. Which of the following statements is True according to the passage? A. People must put out the forest fire as soon as they learn to use the technology of systems. B. The digital systems are made in the US and sold to Tanzania Forestry Services Agency. C. The conservationists can use the systems to monitor and identify the fire occurring in the forest even if they are not in the forests. D. The system is quickly productive and friendly but difficult to operate. C Malaria, the world’s most widespread parasitic（寄生虫引起的）disease, kills as many as three million people every year—almost all of whom are under five, very poor, and African. In most years, more than five hundred million cases of illness result from the disease, although exact numbers are difficult to assess because many people don’t (or can’t) seek care. It is not unusual for a family earning less than two hundred dollars a year to spend a quarter of its income on malaria treatment, and what they often get no longer works. In countries like Tanzania, Mozambique, and the Gambia, no family, village, hospital, or workplace can remain unaffected for long.         Malaria starts suddenly, with violent chills, which are soon followed by an intense fever and, often, headaches. As the parasites multiply, they take over the entire body. Malaria parasites live by eating the red blood cells they infect. They can also attach themselves to blood vessels in the brain. If it doesn’t kill you, malaria can happen again and again for years. The disease passed on to humans by female mosquitoes infected with one of four species of a parasite. Together, the mosquito and the parasite are the deadliest couple in the history of the earth—and one of the most successful. Malaria has five thousand genes, and its ability to change rapidly to defend itself and resist new drugs has made it nearly impossible to control. Studies show that mosquitoes are passing on the virus more frequently, and there are more outbreaks in cities with large populations. Some of the disease’s spread is due to global warming. For decades, the first-choice treatment for malaria parasites in Africa has been chloroquine, a chemical which is very cheap and easy to make. Unfortunately, in most parts of the world, malaria parasites have become resistant to it. Successful alternatives that help prevent resistance are already available, but they have been in short supply and are very expensive. If these drugs should fail, nobody knows what would come next. 9. According to paragraph 1, many people don’t seek care because ________. A. they are too poor B. it is unusual to seek care C. they can remain unaffected for long D. there are too many people suffering from the disease 10. Which of the following may be the reason for the wide spread of the disease? A. Its resistance to global warming. B. Its ability to pass on the virus frequently. C. Its outbreaks in cities with large populations. D. Its ability to defend itself and resist new drugs. 11. It can be inferred from the passage that ____. A. no drugs have been found to treat the disease B. the alternative treatment is not easily available to most people C. malaria has developed its ability to resist parasites D. nobody knows what will be the drug to treat the disease 12. Which of the following questions has NOT been discussed in the passage? A. How can we know one is suffering from malaria? B. How many people are killed by malaria each year? C. Why are there so many people suffering from malaria? D. What has been done to keep people unaffected for long? D Humans are responsible for 25% to 40% more of the total share of methane emissions (甲烷排放) than previously estimated, according to a new study in Nature. Methane is one of the most powerful and effective greenhouse gases: about 28 times more effective than carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere. It's responsible for about a quarter of global warming. It's produced naturally by animals, volcanoes, and wetlands, but it's also a byproduct of oil and gas production. It's this last form of methane that the study focused on. Researchers used ice core measurements from Greenland from 1750 to 2013, plus previous data from Antarctica. They melted the ice to let the small quantities of ancient air trapped inside come out. These act a bit like time capsules, allowing us to learn about the methane in the atmosphere at the time. They used carbon-14, which comes from living things, as a substitute (替代物) to determine whether the methane they found came from biological sources. Until 1870, around the time when we started using fossil (化石) fuels, almost all methane came from these sources. After that, there was a rise in methane that didn't have any carbon-14, from ancient fossil sources in which carbon-14 had disappeared. That allowed the researchers to compare natural methane with methane caused by human activity. If more methane is created by humans, there's an even bigger opportunity to control how much we release. Methane stays in the atmosphere for only a decade (compared with 200 years for carbon dioxide). So efforts to cut methane, which mostly comes from the production and transportation of gas and oil, could bring great benefit right away. 13. Which methane source does the study focus on? A. Animals. B. Wetlands. C. Volcanoes. D. Fossil fuels. 14. What can we learn from this text? A. Methane comes mainly from animals and wetlands. B. There is more methane than carbon dioxide in the air. C. Fossil fuels have been used about a century and a half. D. Methane will remain permanently in the atmosphere. 15. What is the author's attitude towards methane control? A. Optimistic. B. Doubtful. C. Disappointed. D. Unconcerned 16. What can be the best title for the text? A. Fossil Fuels Cause Global Pollution B. Humans Produce More Methane than We Thought C. Methane Is the Biggest Cause for Global Warming D. Carbon Dioxide Has Less Impact on Climate than Methane E AI Suitcase is a smart suitcase developed by a blind computer scientist to aid the visually impaired(有缺陷的). It can navigate their surroundings more efficiently without the aid of guide dogs. 65-year-old Chieko Asakawa has been completely blind since she was only 14, following an accident. She is a computer scientist. Having long struggled with navigating unfamiliar and crowded places, Asakawa came up with an idea to help the visually impaired get around easier. In 2017, her own experiences inspired her to put forward the idea of a smart suitcase that could guide its user with the help of built-in sensors and cameras. Six years later, the AI Suitcase is almost ready for entering market. "AI guides me as it replaces the sight I have lost. It is a dream to be able to go out freely by myself, "Asakawa said during a 2020 interview when her invention first made international news headlines. After the user inputs their destination on their smartphone, the AI Suitcase can plan the best route to that point. The smart suitcase then relies on a set of sensors and a GPS system to assess its surroundings to avoid running into other people and blocks on its route. This smart device is now available for testing by any visually impaired person in front of the Miraikan Museum. Asakawa and the companies that financed her work over the last few years want to make the AI Suitcase available for hire at airports, shopping centers, and train stations in the near future. 17. What can we know about Chieko Asakawa? A. She is not totally blind. B. She sets foot in computer science. C. She raises some guide dogs. D. She dreams to stay indoors quietly. 18. When was the AI suitcase ready for market? A. In 2014. B. In 2017. C. In 2020. D. In 2023. 19. How can the AI suitcase assess its surroundings? A. By analyzing the data given by designers. B. By responding to the users' voice. C. By relying on sensors and GPS system. D. By showing the destinations on screen. 20. What is a suitable title for the text? A. A Female Computer Scientist Fought against Blindness B. Chieko Asakawa Did Her Own Business Successfully C. Asakawa and Her Company Financed the Visually Impaired D. A Scientist Created AI-Powered Suitcase for the Visually Impaired 第二节 完形填空（共15小题，每小题2分，共30分） Ronald Handel lived on a farm in California.
