The best food destination is the Muslim Quarter，which has a history of several hundred years. Consisting of a number of food streets, the area has become a famous attraction in the city for its rich and authentic Muslim cultural atmosphere.(其中一个亮点是游览西安时当地的小吃。最好的食物目的地是有几百年历史的穆斯林区。该地区由多条美食街组成，以其丰富而真实的穆斯林文化氛围而成为该市著名的景点。)”可知，在那你可以品尝各式各样美味的小吃。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Shaanxi History Museum部分的最后一句“Its collections range from bronze ware（器皿）to pottery ware, gold and silver ware and mural paintings from the Tang Dynasty tombs.(其收藏范围从青铜器到陶器、金银器和唐代墓葬壁画。)”可知陕西历史博物馆有黄金制成的展品。。故选A。 B A 12-year-old girl, Eleanor Woods, has created a green backpack that filters (过滤) out air pollution. Her innovative bag won the award of the “Backpack to the Future” competition. The competition was launched to encourage students to combine an interest in fashion with a career in science, technology, engineering or maths. Powered by green energy from solar power and a dynamo — a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy — the backpack filters polluted air before fanning out cleaner air nearby. Air pollution was always Eleanor’s concern. Meanwhile, spending a lot of time with her asthmatic (患哮喘病的) mum, Eleanor especially focused on how pollution affects a person’s health and the spread of diseases. “We have an air filter at home because my mum has mild asthma. But what if she wants to go out? It would be inconvenient and dangerous! My Breathe Better Backpack is about keeping those like my mother safe using an air filter. It looks cool and will help get them outside and fight off colds,” Eleanor said. The girl added, “My generation has really realized pollution, and we have lessons on it at school. This is another reason why I designed this, because we need to do something.” The Breathe Better Backpack came under the spotlight in the competition. Stratton Smith, one of the judges of the competition, said the impact of Eleanor’s design would be far-reaching. “If just a few people start using it, it can be really good for the planet,” he explained. 4. What do we know about the backpack? A It collects polluted air. B. It is powered by wind. C. It is of practical use. D. It sells well at present. 5. What inspired Eleanor Woods to design the backpack? A. The award of the competition. B. High expenses of air filters. C. Stratton Smith’s behaviour. D. Her concern for air pollution. 6. Who will most probably benefit from the backpack? A. Students living in poverty. B. Those suffering from asthma. C. People working in an open way. D. Judges worried about pollution. 7. Which of the following can best describe Eleanor Woods? A. Humorous and modest. B. Ambitious and selfless. C. Confident and fearless. D. Creative and considerate. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了12岁女孩Eleanor Woods设计了一款能过滤空气污染的绿色背包。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Powered by green energy from solar power and a dynamo — a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy — the backpack filters polluted air before fanning out cleaner air nearby.(这个背包由太阳能和一种将机械能转化为电能的发电机提供绿色能源，它会过滤被污染的空气，然后将更清洁的空气散发到附近)”可知，这个背包可以过滤污染的空气，有着实际用途。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Air pollution was always Eleanor’s concern. Meanwhile, spending a lot of time with her asthmatic mum, Eleanor especially focused on how pollution affects a person’s health and the spread of diseases.(空气污染一直是Eleanor关心的问题。与此同时，由于和患哮喘的妈妈在一起的时间很长，Eleanor特别关注污染如何影响一个人的健康以及疾病的传播)”可知，她对空气污染的担忧激发了Eleanor Woods设计这个背包。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“We have an air filter at home because my mum has mild asthma. But what if she wants to go out? It would be inconvenient and dangerous! My Breathe Better Backpack is about keeping those like my mother safe using an air filter.(我们家有一个空气过滤器，因为我妈妈有轻度哮喘。但如果她想出去呢？这将是不方便和危险的！我的Breathe Better背包是为了让像我妈妈这样的人通过使用空气过滤器保持安全)”可知，那些患有哮喘的人最有可能从这个背包中受益。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A 12-year-old girl, Eleanor Woods, has created a green backpack that filters out air pollution.(一个12岁的女孩Eleanor Woods发明了一个能过滤空气污染的绿色背包)”及第四段“My Breathe Better Backpack is about keeping those like my mother safe using an air filter. It looks cool and will help get them outside and fight off colds(我的Breathe Better背包是为了让像我妈妈这样的人通过使用空气过滤器保持安全。它看起来很酷，会帮助他们走出去，抵御感冒)”可推知，Eleanor Woods既有创造力又体贴他人。故选D。 C More than half of the world’s largest lakes have lost significant amounts of water over the last three decades, and roughly one-quarter of the world’s population lives in the basin of a drying lake, according to a new study by a team of international scientists, which pins the blame largely on climate change and excessive(过度的)water use. While lakes cover only around 3% of the planet, they hold nearly 90% of its liquid surface freshwater and are primary sources of drinking water, irrigation and power, and they provide vital habitats(栖息地) for animals and plants. Across the world, the most significant lakes are seeing sharp declines. The Colorado River’s Lake Mead in Southwest US has shrunk dramatically due to a megadrought(大干旱) and decades of overuse. The Caspian Sea, between Asia and Europe the world’s largest inland body of water has long been declining. The shrinking of many lakes has been well documented by environmental groups, but the reasons behind it have been hardly examined, said Fangfang Yao, the study’s lead author and a visiting scholar at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder. The researchers used satellite measurements of nearly 2,000 of the world’s largest lakes, which together represent 95% of Earth’s total lake water storage. Examining more than 250,000 satellite images spanning from 1992 to 2020, along with climate models, they were able to reconstruct the history of the lakes going back decades. “The results were staggering,” Yao said. “It’s a little scary to see how many freshwater systems are unable to store as much water as they used to.” “As many parts of the world become hotter and drier, lakes must be managed properly. Otherwise climate change and human activities can lead to drying sooner than we think,” Yao added. 8. What might be the author’s purpose in writing the second paragraph? A. To broaden readers’ horizons. B. To encourage readers to protect wildlife. C. To lighten readers’ worries over water shortage. D. To show shrinkage of lakes should be taken seriously. 9. What has environmental groups ignored? A. The recording of shrinking lakes. B. The influence of water shortage. C. Causes of the shrinkage of many lakes. D. Measures to stop the shrinkage of lakes. 10. What can we learn about the new study from Paragraph 5? A. It’s scientifically-grounded. B. It’s much-debated. C It’s commercially-successful. D. It’s partially-acceptable. 11. Which does the underlined word “staggering” probably mean in Paragraph 6? A. Puzzling. B. Shocking. C. Inspiring. D. Amazing. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。根据一个国际科学家团队的一项新研究，在过去三十年中，世界上一半以上的最大湖泊都失去了大量的水，大约四分之一的世界人口生活在干涸的湖泊流域，该研究将主要归咎于气候变化和过度用水。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“While lakes cover only around 3% of the planet, they hold nearly 90% of its liquid surface freshwater and are primary sources of drinking water, irrigation and power, and they provide vital habitats(栖息地) for animals and plants(虽然湖泊只覆盖了地球的3%左右，但它们容纳了近90%的地表液态淡水，是饮用水、灌溉和电力的主要来源，为动植物提供了重要的栖息地。)”可知本段讲了湖泊是饮用水、灌溉和电力的主要来源，为动植物提供了重要的栖息地，说明了湖泊的重要性，可推理出作者写第二段的目的是表明湖泊萎缩应受到重视，故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The shrinking of many lakes has been well documented by environmental groups, but the reasons behind it have been hardly examined(环保组织已经充分记录了许多湖泊的缩小，但其背后的原因几乎没有得到研究。)”可知，环保组织忽视了湖泊萎缩的原因，故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The researchers used satellite measurements of nearly 2,000 of the world’s largest lakes, which together represent 95% of Earth’s total lake water storage. Examining more than 250,000 satellite images spanning from 1992 to 2020, along with climate models, they were able to reconstruct the history of the lakes going back decades.(研究人员对世界上近2000个最大的湖泊进行了卫星测量，这些湖泊合计占地球湖泊总蓄水量的95%。通过检查1992年至2020年的25万多张卫星图像，以及气候模型，他们能够重建几十年前湖泊的历史)”可知，研究人员使用科学方法，通过检25万多张卫星图像并结合气候模型进行研究，可知这个研究有科学依据，故选A项。 【11题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词下文“It’s a little scary to see how many freshwater systems are unable to store as much water as they used to.(看到有多少淡水系统无法像过去那样储存水，这有点可怕)”可知，淡水系统如果无法储存水，那将是很可怕的，可推理出划线词的含义为“令人震惊的”，故选B项。 D Here’s a quick quiz. Person A does a favor for you. Person B asks you to do a favor for him. Who do you tend to like more? Surprisingly, the answer is Person B. This quirk (怪癖) of human nature is known as the Ben Franklin Effect. Benjamin Franklin came across the phenomenon in 1736 when serving as a clerk to the Pennsylvania Assembly. A powerful member didn’t care for Franklin and threatened to make life miserable for him. What to do? Instead of winning him over with sweet talk, Franklin asked if he could borrow a rare and valuable book the man owned. This request altered the man’s attitude and paved the way for their friendship. Franklin’s takeaway: “He that has once done you a kindness will be ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged.” Several studies have confirmed this. But how can we explain the Ben Franklin Effect? Some psychologists refer to cognitive dissonance (失调). It’s difficult to hold two contradictory thoughts at the same time. It makes us uncomfortable. We resolve this tension by changing our mind. “I don’t like Joe, but I am doing him a favor,” we might think. “So maybe I do like him.” While cognitive dissonance explains a lot, it alone doesn’t explain the Ben Franklin Effect. One 2015 study found that it was, rather, the affiliative (亲和的) motive that the requests convey. That is, we humans want to maintain good relations with other humans, and one way to achieve this is by doing favors for others. This explains a lot about altruistic behavior. We like being useful and, by extension, we like those who give us the opportunity to do so. It’s in our genes. Yet there is much we still don’t know about the Ben Franklin Effect. Does it apply equally across cultures? Is there a point beyond which asking a favor makes you less, not more likable? Asking to borrow a book is one thing; asking to borrow a car is another. 12. Why does the author mention Benjamin Franklin’s experience? A. To illustrate a dilemma in making choices. B. To suggest a way of striking up friendships. C. To stress the importance of strategic requests. D. To introduce the origin of the Ben Franklin Effect. 13. What is a reason for people’s tendency to like those asking for favors? A. Reducing the tension caused by social contact. B. Increasing the chance of getting help in return. C. Avoiding the discomfort from conflicting thoughts. D. Establishing a cooperative community of shared trust. 14. What does the underlined word “altruistic” probably mean in paragraph 4? A. Selfless. B. Impolite. C. Aggressive. D. Responsible. 15. What does the author think of the Ben Franklin Effect? A. It makes little sense. B. It applies to most cultures. C. It has situational limitations. D. It has great practical significance. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了本·富兰克林效应。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“Surprisingly, the answer is Person B. This quirk (怪癖) of human nature is known as the Ben Franklin Effect.(令人惊讶的是，答案是B型这种人性的怪癖被称为本·富兰克林效应。)”和第二段的“Benjamin Franklin came across the phenomenon in 1736 when serving as a clerk to the Pennsylvania Assembly. A powerful member didn’t care for Franklin and threatened to make life miserable for him. What to do? Instead of winning him over with sweet talk, Franklin asked if he could borrow a rare and valuable book the man owned. This request altered the man’s attitude and paved the way for their friendship. Franklin’s takeaway: “He that has once done you a kindness will be ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged.”(本杰明·富兰克林(Benjamin Franklin)在1736年担任宾夕法尼亚州议会书记员时遇到了这种现象。一个有权有势的成员不喜欢富兰克林，并威胁要让他的生活很痛苦。该怎么办？富兰克林没有用甜言蜜语来说服他，而是问他是否可以借他拥有的一本珍贵的书。这个请求改变了男人的态度，为他们的友谊铺平了道路。富兰克林的结论是：“曾经善待过你的人，会比你所善待的人更愿意为你做另一件事。”)”可推断，作者提到本杰明·富兰克林的经历为了介绍“本杰明·富兰克林效应”的起源。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Some psychologists refer to cognitive dissonance (失调). It’s difficult to hold two contradictory thoughts at the same time. It makes us uncomfortable.(一些心理学家称之为认知失调。同时持有两种相互矛盾的思想是很难的。这让我们感到不舒服。)” 可知，人们倾向于喜欢寻求帮助的人是因为认知失调，即避免持有矛盾的想法带来的不适。故选C。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“One 2015 study found that it was, rather, the affiliative (亲和的) motive that the requests convey. That is, we humans want to maintain good relations with other humans, and one way to achieve this is by doing favors for others.(2015年的一项研究发现，更确切地说，这是请求所传达的亲和动机。也就是说，我们人类希望与他人保持良好的关系，而实现这一目标的一种方式就是帮助他人。)”以及下文“We like being useful and, by extension, we like those who give us the opportunity to do so. It’s in our genes.(我们喜欢成为有用的人，推而广之，我们喜欢那些给我们这样做机会的人。这是我们的基因。)”可推断，划线词所在句说明人类希望通过帮助他人来保持良好的关系，这解释了无私的行为，因此推断画线词与selfless“无私的”意思相近。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Yet there is much we still don’t know about the Ben Franklin Effect. Does it apply equally across cultures? Is there a point beyond which asking a favor makes you less, not more likable? Asking to borrow a book is one thing; asking to borrow a car is another.(然而，我们对本·富兰克林效应还有很多不了解的地方。它在不同文化中都适用吗？有没有一个点，超过了这个点，请求别人帮忙会让你更不讨人喜欢，而不是更讨人喜欢？借书是一回事；向别人借车是另一回事。)”可知，作者认为本·富兰克林效应有情境限制。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分,满分12.5分） 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Do you ever have months when you struggle to keep your money under control?

Start using a budget. ____18____ If you aren’t sure about how much you take home each month and how much your expenses add up to, you’ll continuously fall into the trap of buying all the things you think you can afford, only to get a rude awakening at the end of the month when your bank account isn’t looking too great.

C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。针对很多人不能控制花钱的问题，文章提供了一些切实可行的建议。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Do you ever have months when you struggle to keep your money under control? There are many reasons why we overspend. It could be because we aren’t aware of our true spending habits. (你是否曾有过几个月在努力控制自己的钱？我们超支的原因有很多。 这可能是因为我们没有意识到自己真正的消费习惯)”结合后文给出了如何避免超支和控制钱的建议，故D选项“这里有一些关于如何避免超支和控制你的钱的建议”符合语境，故选D。 【17题详解】 根据本段内容“When you head out to the mall, take only the amount of cash you’ll probably need and leave the credit cards at home. By doing this, you avoid the temptation of using the card for a spur of the moment purchase, which is often the fastest way to find yourself in debt.(当你去购物中心的时候，只带你可能需要的现金，把信用卡留在家里。这样做，你就避免了一时冲动用信用卡购物的诱惑，这通常是发现自己负债的最快方式)”可知，本段的建议是出门只带需要的现金，避免信用卡购物，A选项中cash对应后文中cash。故A选项“只用现金”符合小标题，故选A。 【18题详解】 根据小标题“Start using a budget.(开始做预算)”以及后文“If you aren't sure about how much you take home each month and how much your expenses add up to, you'll continuously fall into the trap of buying all the things you think you can afford only to get a rude awakening at the end of the month when your bank account isn't looking too great.(如果你不确定你每个月带回家多少钱，你的费用加起来是多少，你就会不断落入这样的陷阱：买你认为你能买得起的所有东西最后才追悔莫及，导致月底时你的银行账户看起来不是太好)”可知，本段主要建议要做好预算，即制定消费计划。故G选项“没有消费计划是人们似乎无法停止消费的主要原因之一”符合语境，故选G。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Those small things you buy on a regular basis can really add up by the end of the month.(你定期买的那些小东西到月底就会累积起来)”以及后文“By following this simple step, you’ll also learn to respect your money more.(通过这个简单的步骤，你也将学会更加尊重你的金钱)”可知，上文提到买的东西会积累起来，后文则提到了这个简单的步骤可以让你学会更加尊重你的金钱，故本句是在说明这个步骤是什么：记录下你的所有开支。F选项中The best way对应后文中this simple step。故F选项“控制你的钱最好的方法是记录下你的所有开支”符合语境，故选F。 【20题详解】 根据后文“Let’s not allow ourselves to fall into the trap of overspending on unnecessary things in the new year. (在新的一年里，让我们不要让自己落入在不必要的事情上过度消费的陷阱)”可知，后文在建议不要落入过度消费的陷阱，可推测本句是在说明原因：陷入过度消费的陷阱会给生活带来压力，故C选项“如果那样，我们将承受更大的压力”符合语境，故选C。 第三部分 语言运用 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分, 共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。 Last night I was walking on the beach to enjoy the sunset and watch the whales playing lively and happily right offshore.

Laughter filled the narrow lanes, mixing with the voices of street vendors and the occasional honking of cars passing by. Eleven-year-old Hasan walked through the crowd, his thoughts already on his evening chores (家务). Suddenly, a deep, threatening roar broke the silence — a car racing at an unusual speed. Hasan’s eyes fixed on a vehicle speeding toward the crowd, panic spreading and children screaming. The driver’s purpose was clear, and chaos broke out. The car’s engine growled (咆哮), making the air feel heavy with danger. For a moment, Hasan was frozen with fear. His legs felt heavy, as if rooted to the ground. His heart raced, and his breath caught in his throat. But then, something clicked. He remembered the advice his father had given him during difficult times: In moments of fear, think, and then act. Taking a deep breath, Hasan scanned the surroundings. He didn’t turn around and run in the direction the vehicle was moving. Instead, he faced the vehicle and quickly dodged (躲闪) to the side before it rushed past. The air was thick with dust as the car zoomed by, the sound of its tires (轮胎) screeching on the pavement. “Get to the walls! Hide in the alleys (小巷)!” Hasan shouted, his voice cutting through the noise, surprisingly calm. Several younger children, their faces pale with fear, looked to him for guidance. They followed his lead, narrowly avoiding the car’s path. Hasan waved others toward a narrow side street. “Quick, this way!” he urged. The small group of children followed him, their footsteps quick and light, as they moved toward safety. Hasan’s heart raced, but he remained focused, checking that everyone was safe. Minutes later, Officer Ben Bella, an experienced officer, arrived with his team and shot the terrorist dead. Hasan felt a wave of relief wash over him as the officer approached. 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。 The next day, Hasan was visited by Officer Ben. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ So, they also recorded a TikTok video. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The next day, Hasan was visited by Officer Ben. Arriving at Hasan’s home with a warm smile and a bouquet of flowers in his hand, Ben said, sitting down beside him, “You were incredibly brave yesterday, Hasan. Not many adults could have kept cool like you did.” Ben handed him a certificate of bravery, which he proudly displayed on his wall. Hasan blushed and appreciated the officer’s praise. “You’re a hero,” Officer Ben added, his voice filled with admiration. “You saved lives yesterday, and your bravery will inspire others for years to come. Maybe we could do something to educate people to acting smart when needed.” So, they also recorded a TikTok video. In the video, Officer Ben asked Hasan to explain how he had reacted in the dangerous situation. With a shy smile, Hasan confidently shared, “As the saying goes, calmness brings clarity. Common sense tells us that in the event of an oncoming car collision, never run in the same direction the car is moving — it’s much faster than you. Instead, run toward a blind spot where the car will have difficulty turning or reaching you.” The video quickly went viral, inspiring many young viewers to be brave and stay calm in critical moments. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了也门11岁男孩哈桑在一场恐怖袭击中勇敢冷静自救，并帮助其他孩子躲避危险，成功挽救生命的故事。他的英勇事迹受到警官表扬，还通过TikTok分享经验，激励更多人遇险时保持冷静与机智。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“第二天，Ben 警官来看望Hasan”可知，第一段可描写警官在看望Hasan的具体场景，包括表扬、送礼物等。 ②由第二段首句内容“他们还录制了小视频。”可知，第二段描写的是他们通过录制小视频，达到让更多的人能学习Hasan在紧急情况下，如何临危不惧，救自己和别人的经验。 2. 续写线索：警官上门——慰问——表扬——录视频——分享经验 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①展示：display/show ②脸红：blush/turn red ③激励：inspire/encourage 情绪类 ①勇敢的：brave/courageous ②感激：appreciate/be grateful to 【点睛】[高分句型1]Ben handed him a certificate of bravery, which he proudly displayed on his wall.(which引导的非限制性定语从句) [高分句型2]In the video, Officer Ben asked Hasan to explain how he had reacted in the dangerous situation.(how引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年高三上学期第3次检测英语试卷 第一部分　听力(共两节，满分30分) 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。 1．When will the woman probably get the phone?

Apart from the Terracotta Warriors, there are also some other attractions in the city. Here are some of them. Ancient City Wall Xi'an City Wall was built in the 14th century in the Ming Dynasty as a military defense system. Now it is one of the oldest and best preserved Chinese city walls. The wall is now a landmark, dividing the city into inner and outer areas. Giant Wild Goose Pagoda （塔） Situated in an ancient temple, the pagoda built with layers of bricks was built in the Tang Dynasty. It is traditional Chinese architecture. One of the main functions of the pagoda was to store Buddhist scriptures（经文） and figurines brought to China from India by the famous monk and traveler Xuan Zang, who stayed here for 19 years translating Buddhist scriptures. Shaanxi History Museum The Shaanxi History Museum, built in 1991，is home to over 370,000 precious relics unearthed in Shaanxi over the years, The museum consists of three main sections. Its collections range from bronze ware（器皿）to pottery ware, gold and silver ware and mural paintings from the Tang Dynasty tombs. The Muslim Quarter One of the highlights is its local snacks when you tour Xian. The best food destination is the Muslim Quarter，which has a history of several hundred years. Consisting of a number of food streets, the area has become a famous attraction in the city for its rich and authentic Muslim cultural atmosphere. 1. In which place can you know more about Buddhism?

Xuan Zang died in the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda. C The Xi'an City Wallis the oldest Chinese city wall. D. The Muslim Quarter has a history of 100 years. B A 12-year-old girl, Eleanor Woods, has created a green backpack that filters (过滤) out air pollution. Her innovative bag won the award of the “Backpack to the Future” competition. The competition was launched to encourage students to combine an interest in fashion with a career in science, technology, engineering or maths. Powered by green energy from solar power and a dynamo — a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy — the backpack filters polluted air before fanning out cleaner air nearby. Air pollution was always Eleanor’s concern. Meanwhile, spending a lot of time with her asthmatic (患哮喘病的) mum, Eleanor especially focused on how pollution affects a person’s health and the spread of diseases. “We have an air filter at home because my mum has mild asthma. But what if she wants to go out? It would be inconvenient and dangerous! My Breathe Better Backpack is about keeping those like my mother safe using an air filter. It looks cool and will help get them outside and fight off colds,” Eleanor said. The girl added, “My generation has really realized pollution, and we have lessons on it at school. This is another reason why I designed this, because we need to do something.” The Breathe Better Backpack came under the spotlight in the competition. Stratton Smith, one of the judges of the competition, said the impact of Eleanor’s design would be far-reaching. “If just a few people start using it, it can be really good for the planet,” he explained. 4. What do we know about the backpack? A. It collects polluted air. B. It is powered by wind. C. It is of practical use. D. It sells well at present. 5. What inspired Eleanor Woods to design the backpack? A. The award of the competition. B. High expenses of air filters. C. Stratton Smith’s behaviour. D. Her concern for air pollution. 6. Who will most probably benefit from the backpack? A. Students living in poverty. B. Those suffering from asthma. C. People working in an open way. D. Judges worried about pollution. 7. Which of the following can best describe Eleanor Woods? A. Humorous and modest. B. Ambitious and selfless. C. Confident and fearless. D. Creative and considerate. C More than half of the world’s largest lakes have lost significant amounts of water over the last three decades, and roughly one-quarter of the world’s population lives in the basin of a drying lake, according to a new study by a team of international scientists, which pins the blame largely on climate change and excessive(过度的)water use. While lakes cover only around 3% of the planet, they hold nearly 90% of its liquid surface freshwater and are primary sources of drinking water, irrigation and power, and they provide vital habitats(栖息地) for animals and plants. Across the world, the most significant lakes are seeing sharp declines. The Colorado River’s Lake Mead in Southwest US has shrunk dramatically due to a megadrought(大干旱) and decades of overuse. The Caspian Sea, between Asia and Europe the world’s largest inland body of water has long been declining. The shrinking of many lakes has been well documented by environmental groups, but the reasons behind it have been hardly examined, said Fangfang Yao, the study’s lead author and a visiting scholar at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder. The researchers used satellite measurements of nearly 2,000 of the world’s largest lakes, which together represent 95% of Earth’s total lake water storage. Examining more than 250,000 satellite images spanning from 1992 to 2020, along with climate models, they were able to reconstruct the history of the lakes going back decades. “The results were staggering,” Yao said. “It’s a little scary to see how many freshwater systems are unable to store as much water as they used to.” “As many parts of the world become hotter and drier, lakes must be managed properly. Otherwise climate change and human activities can lead to drying sooner than we think,” Yao added. 8. What might be the author’s purpose in writing the second paragraph? A. To broaden readers’ horizons. B. To encourage readers to protect wildlife. C. To lighten readers’ worries over water shortage. D. To show shrinkage of lakes should be taken seriously. 9. What has environmental groups ignored? A The recording of shrinking lakes. B. The influence of water shortage. C. Causes of the shrinkage of many lakes. D. Measures to stop the shrinkage of lakes. 10. What can we learn about the new study from Paragraph 5? A. It’s scientifically-grounded. B. It’s much-debated. C. It’s commercially-successful. D. It’s partially-acceptable. 11. Which does the underlined word “staggering” probably mean in Paragraph 6? A. Puzzling. B. Shocking. C. Inspiring. D. Amazing. D Here’s a quick quiz. Person A does a favor for you. Person B asks you to do a favor for him. Who do you tend to like more? Surprisingly, the answer is Person B. This quirk (怪癖) of human nature is known as the Ben Franklin Effect. Benjamin Franklin came across the phenomenon in 1736 when serving as a clerk to the Pennsylvania Assembly. A powerful member didn’t care for Franklin and threatened to make life miserable for him. What to do? Instead of winning him over with sweet talk, Franklin asked if he could borrow a rare and valuable book the man owned. This request altered the man’s attitude and paved the way for their friendship. Franklin’s takeaway: “He that has once done you a kindness will be ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged.” Several studies have confirmed this. But how can we explain the Ben Franklin Effect? Some psychologists refer to cognitive dissonance (失调). It’s difficult to hold two contradictory thoughts at the same time. It makes us uncomfortable. We resolve this tension by changing our mind. “I don’t like Joe, but I am doing him a favor,” we might think. “So maybe I do like him.” While cognitive dissonance explains a lot, it alone doesn’t explain the Ben Franklin Effect. One 2015 study found that it was, rather, the affiliative (亲和的) motive that the requests convey. That is, we humans want to maintain good relations with other humans, and one way to achieve this is by doing favors for others. This explains a lot about altruistic behavior. We like being useful and, by extension, we like those who give us the opportunity to do so. It’s in our genes. Yet there is much we still don’t know about the Ben Franklin Effect. Does it apply equally across cultures? Is there a point beyond which asking a favor makes you less, not more likable? Asking to borrow a book is one thing; asking to borrow a car is another. 12. Why does the author mention Benjamin Franklin’s experience? A. To illustrate a dilemma in making choices. B. To suggest a way of striking up friendships. C. To stress the importance of strategic requests. D. To introduce the origin of the Ben Franklin Effect. 13. What is a reason for people’s tendency to like those asking for favors? A.

Laughter filled the narrow lanes, mixing with the voices of street vendors and the occasional honking of cars passing by. Eleven-year-old Hasan walked through the crowd, his thoughts already on his evening chores (家务). Suddenly, a deep, threatening roar broke the silence — a car racing at an unusual speed. Hasan’s eyes fixed on a vehicle speeding toward the crowd, panic spreading and children screaming. The driver’s purpose was clear, and chaos broke out. The car’s engine growled (咆哮), making the air feel heavy with danger. For a moment, Hasan was frozen with fear. His legs felt heavy, as if rooted to the ground. His heart raced, and his breath caught in his throat. But then, something clicked. He remembered the advice his father had given him during difficult times: In moments of fear, think, and then act. Taking a deep breath, Hasan scanned the surroundings. He didn’t turn around and run in the direction the vehicle was moving. Instead, he faced the vehicle and quickly dodged (躲闪) to the side before it rushed past. The air was thick with dust as the car zoomed by, the sound of its tires (轮胎) screeching on the pavement. “Get to the walls! Hide in the alleys (小巷)!” Hasan shouted, his voice cutting through the noise, surprisingly calm. Several younger children, their faces pale with fear, looked to him for guidance. They followed his lead, narrowly avoiding the car’s path. Hasan waved others toward a narrow side street. “Quick, this way!” he urged. The small group of children followed him, their footsteps quick and light, as they moved toward safety. Hasan’s heart raced, but he remained focused, checking that everyone was safe. Minutes later, Officer Ben Bella, an experienced officer, arrived with his team and shot the terrorist dead. Hasan felt a wave of relief wash over him as the officer approached. 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。 The next day, Hasan was visited by Officer Ben. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ So, they also recorded a TikTok video. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
