As nations strive to reduce their carbon footprints, residential energy use — responsible for nearly 20% of energy-related emissions — poses unique challenges. Below is the 2022 breakdown of household emissions by source. ELECTRICITY 52% HEATING 28% COOLING 12% APPLIANCES 6% LIGHTING 2% Clean energy solutions for homes must be affordable, efficient, and adaptable to diverse climates. While technologies vary, here are key innovations driving the shift toward sustainability. HEAT PUMPS — Efficient Heating/Cooling Replacing gas boilers, electric heat pumps transfer warmth from air or ground, cutting heating emissions by 50%. Hybrid models, hopefully, might be able to work in sub-zero temperatures in the near future. SMART GRIDS (电网) — Dynamic Electricity Management AI-powered grids optimize energy use, storing surplus solar power during peak hours and reducing reliance on fossil-fuel backups. SOLAR PANELS — Rooftop Revolution Solar energy is the most accessible renewable source for households. Advances in photovoltaic cells have cut costs by 80% since 2010, making them viable in numerous regions. WIND TURBINES — Community Microgrids Small-scale turbines (涡轮机) in windy areas can power neighborhoods, though land use debates persist. “The scale of this transition is staggering,” says Dr. Elena Torres, a climate scientist at MIT. Residential renewables like solar and heat pumps could meet 90% of global household demand by 2050 — but only if investments triple within this decade. Recent studies show that every $1 invested in green homes today saves $5 in future climate adaptation costs. This isn’t just an environmental imperative; it’s economically inevitable. 1. Which two categories combined account for over three-quarters of total household emissions? A. Electricity and Heating. B. Heating and Cooling. C. Appliances and Lighting. D. Cooling and Appliances. 2. Which technology is highlighted as cost-effective for diverse climates? A. Heat pumps. B. Smart grids. C. Solar panels. D. Wind turbines. 3. What does Dr. Torres emphasize about the energy transition? A. The dominance of gas boilers. B. The increase in solar efficiency. C. The need for higher investment. D. The breakthrough in heat pump technology. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了家庭清洁能源的未来，包括家庭排放来源、清洁能源技术及投资需求。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Below is the 2022 breakdown of household emissions by source. ELECTRICITY 52%，HEATING 28%(以下是2022年家庭排放来源的细分。电力占52%，供暖占28%)”可知，电力和供暖两个类别加起来占家庭总排放量的四分之三以上。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据SOLAR PANELS — Rooftop Revolution部分中“Solar energy is the most accessible renewable source for households. Advances in photovoltaic cells have cut costs by 80% since 2010, making them viable in numerous regions.(太阳能是家庭最容易获得的可再生能源。自2010年以来，光伏电池的进步使成本降低了80%，使其在许多地区都可行)”可知，太阳能电池板被强调为适用于不同气候的成本效益高的技术。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据WIND TURBINES — Community Microgrids部分中“Residential renewables like solar and heat pumps could meet 90% of global household demand by 2050 — but only if investments triple within this decade.(到2050年，太阳能和热泵等住宅可再生能源可以满足全球90%的家庭需求，但前提是未来十年的投资要增加两倍)”可知，Torres博士强调了能源转型需要更高的投资。故选C。 B In 2022, feeling unwell at home, celebrated novelist and screenwriter Hanif Kureishi fell, broke his neck and woke up paralyzed, unable to move his hands or body. For a year, he recovered in hospitals before returning home, where he now relies on full-time care. Kureishi poured his anger and depression into writing. Just days after the accident, he began dictating (口述) his work Shattered to his partner and son. The book explores his loss of independence and the shame of relying on others. Yet writing gave him purpose: “Even on painkillers, I wrote daily blogs. People cared about my story—it kept me going,” he says. Today, Kureishi uses a wheelchair and cannot stand or hold objects. Despite limited mobility, he works daily. “My job — talking and writing — saved me,” he explains. Many paralyzed patients cannot return to work, but Kureishi continues creating. “I earn money and support my family. I write more now than before,” he adds. His determination overcomes physical limits, proving creativity develops well in tough times. Each morning, he tackles physical therapy (治疗) with the same discipline he applies to writing, viewing both as acts of rebellion against his condition. Reflecting on his accident, he recalls hospital patients with similar stories: a man who jumped into an empty pool and another who tripped over a garden tool. “These unpredictable moments change everything. You are upset, asking ‘Why me?’, but anger gradually goes away when you rebuild purpose,” he says. Kureishi acknowledges the unfairness but focuses on what he can control — his work and relationships. He emphasizes gratitude for his support system, crediting loved ones for helping him handle daily challenges. Looking ahead, Kureishi remains ambitious. He’s writing another book, working together on a film with director Luca Guadagnino, and eagerly awaits Shattered’s US release. His days combine creativity and routine: mornings devoted to writing, afternoons to physical therapy, and evenings spent brainstorming new ideas. “Disability isn’t the end,” he insists. “It’s a new chapter — one where I write my own rules.” 4. What happened to Hanif Kureishi in 2022? A. He had a life-changing accident. B. He had a big argument with his son. C. He suddenly lost his ability to speak. D. He failed to complete his work on time. 5. What does the underlined word “rebellion” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Doubt. B. Struggle. C. Argument. D. Complaint. 6. Why does Kureishi mention other patients’ stories? A. To highlight the predictability of events. B. To explain the process of physical therapy. C. To show the importance of a positive mentality. D. To describe the challenges of writing while disabled. 7. What can we learn about Kureishi from the last paragraph? A. He is giving up on recovery. B. He is very angry about his disability. C. He thinks his disability is not affecting him. D. He is determined to live life on his terms. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了著名小说家和编剧Hanif Kureishi在遭遇意外瘫痪后的生活、心态变化以及他的创作活动。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In 2022, feeling unwell at home, celebrated novelist and screenwriter Hanif Kureishi fell, broke his neck and woke up paralyzed, unable to move his hands or body.(2022年，著名小说家兼编剧Hanif Kureishi在家中感到身体不适，不慎摔倒导致颈椎骨折，醒来后全身瘫痪，双手和身体都无法动弹)”可知，2022年Hanif Kureishi在家中因身体不适摔倒，导致颈椎骨折并瘫痪，失去了活动手和身体的能力，那是一场改变他人生的事故。故选A。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句“Each morning, he tackles physical therapy (治疗) with the same discipline he applies to writing, viewing both as acts of rebellion against his condition.(每天早晨，他以对待写作的自律进行物理治疗，将两者都视为对自身状况的rebellion)”可知，此处强调了Kureishi通过坚持工作和治疗与身体限制“抗争”。由此可知，划线词rebellion与struggle“斗争”意思接近。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Reflecting on his accident, he recalls hospital patients with similar stories: a man who jumped into an empty pool and another who tripped over a garden tool. “These unpredictable moments change everything. You are upset, asking ‘Why me?’, but anger gradually goes away when you rebuild purpose,” he says.(回顾那次事故，他想起医院里有类似遭遇的病人：一个跳进空泳池的男人，还有一个被园艺工具绊倒的人。“这些不可预测的瞬间改变了一切。你会心烦意乱，质问‘为什么是我？’，但当你重新找到目标时，愤怒会逐渐消散。” 他说)”可知，Kureishi提及其他患者的故事，是为了说明人生中充满不可预测的意外，但重要的是在困境中重建生活目标，让愤怒逐渐消退。由此推知，Kureishi提及其他患者的故事的目的是强调面对意外时积极心态的重要性。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“He’s writing another book, working together on a film with director Luca Guadagnino, and eagerly awaits Shattered’s US release. His days combine creativity and routine: mornings devoted to writing, afternoons to physical therapy, and evenings spent brainstorming new ideas. “Disability isn’t the end,” he insists. “It’s a new chapter — one where I write my own rules.”(他正在撰写另一本书，与导演Luca Guadagnino合作一部电影，并热切期待《破碎》在美国的出版。他的日常生活融合了创造力与规律：早晨专注写作，下午进行物理治疗，晚上则思考新创意。“残疾不是终点，”他坚持认为，“这是新的篇章——由我自己书写规则的篇章。”)”可知，Kureishi在残疾后依然坚持创作新书、与导演合作电影，并强调 “残疾不是终点，而是由自己书写规则的新篇章”。由此推知，他决心按照自己的方式生活，不向命运妥协。故选D。 C Recently, African ports are expected to welcome a unique border-patrol (巡逻) “team” — Giant African Pouched Rats wearing small red vests. Relying on their remarkable sense of smell, they are about to play a crucial role in the fight against illegal wildlife trade. In regions such as West Africa, the rich wildlife resources attract enormous tourists. However, poaching (偷猎) and smuggling (偷运) activities are pushing some species to the danger of extinction. Poachers, driven by huge profits, either capture animals for the illegal pet trade or cruelly kill elephants, rhinos, etc. to obtain ivory and rhino horns. These precious items are then smuggled to other countries for sale, severely disturbing local biodiversity. Isabelle Szott, a behavioral ecologist, previously cooperated with the organization APOPO in Tanzania, which has successfully trained these rats for various tasks before, like detecting dangerous weapons and some infectious diseases. Given their excellent olfactory (嗅觉) ability, APOPO believes the rats also have great potential in port prevention and control. Szott’s team carefully selected and trained 11 rats. In a specially-made training box in the laboratory, researchers placed different smell samples to teach the rats to identify the smells of poached animals. Each time a rat accurately detected the target smell and signaled, it received delicious food as a reward. After training, these rats can not only recognize the smells of elephant tusks, rhino horns and African blackwood, but also precisely distinguish them from 146 other smells. Lab training is just the first step. Some rats then underwent field drills in simulated warehouses and real ports. When these rats get too old to work, they will “retire” honorably and enjoy their remaining years surrounded by fruits, vegetables, and dried fish. The involvement of Giant African Pouched Rats is expected to bring new hope to tackling wildlife poaching and smuggling. 8. Why are these rats a good choice for border-patrol? A. They are out of extinction. B. They are sensitive to the smell. C. They can maintain local biodiversity. D. They can distract poachers’ attention. 9. What tasks have the African Pouched Rats been trained for before? A. Detecting threatening arms. B. Controlling wildlife products. C. Protecting tourists in West Africa. D. Identifying different kinds of fruits. 10. How did the researchers train the 11 rats in the laboratory? A. They satisfy the rats’ appetite as bonus. B. They taught the rats to fit in the real fields. C. They let the rats play with different samples. D. They led the rats to track the poachers’ smells. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. New Hope Brought by APOPO for the Rats in Red Vests B. Measures Taken to Prevent Poaching and Smuggling C. The Remarkable Life of Giant African Pouched Rats D. A New Force in Fighting Wildlife Smuggling 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了各港口将迎来一支独特的边境巡逻“队伍”——巨型老鼠。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后“Relying on their remarkable sense of smell, they are about to play a crucial role in the fight against illegal wildlife trade.(凭借它们非凡的嗅觉，它们将在打击非法野生动物贸易中发挥至关重要的作用)”可知，巨型老鼠凭借其敏锐的嗅觉成为边境巡逻的好选择。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Isabelle Szott, a behavioral ecologist, previously cooperated with the organization APOPO in Tanzania, which has successfully trained these rats for various tasks before, like detecting dangerous weapons and some infectious diseases.(行为生态学家伊莎贝尔·肖特（Isabelle Szott）此前曾与坦桑尼亚的APOPO组织合作，该组织曾成功地训练这些老鼠完成各种任务，比如探测危险武器和一些传染病)”可知，这些老鼠以前进行过危险武器和传染病的探测。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Szott’s team carefully selected and trained 11 rats. In a specially-made training box in the laboratory, researchers placed different smell samples to teach the rats to identify the smells of poached animals. Each time a rat accurately detected the target smell and signaled, it received delicious food as a reward.(肖特的团队精心挑选并训练了11只老鼠。在实验室一个特制的训练箱里，研究人员放置了不同的气味样本，教老鼠识别被偷猎动物的气味。每当老鼠准确地探测到目标气味并发出信号时，它就会得到美味的食物作为奖励)”可知，只要识别出正确的味道，就会得到食物的奖励。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Recently, African ports are expected to welcome a unique border-patrol (巡逻) “team” — Giant African Pouched Rats wearing small red vests. Relying on their remarkable sense of smell, they are about to play a crucial role in the fight against illegal wildlife trade (近日，非洲各港口将迎来一支独特的边境巡逻“队伍”——身穿红色小背心的巨型非洲老鼠。凭借它们非凡的嗅觉，它们将在打击非法野生动物贸易中发挥至关重要的作用)”可知，本文主要讲述了非洲运用了巨型老鼠来打击非法野生动物贸易。D项“打击野生动物走私的新力量”符合主题，故选D。 D China has made remarkable achievements in space exploration. The China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) aims to land its astronauts on the moon before 2030 and has recently shown the spacesuit they plan to use. However, the name of the suit is still up in the air. As reported by Space News, the CMSA revealed their new extravehicular (舱外的) activity (EVA) spacesuit at an event on September 28 in Chongqing, China. The suit was modeled by Wang Yaping, China’s second woman in space, and Zhai Zhigang, another astronaut. The presentation mainly focused on the suit’s outer features. In particular, the new suit is slimmer and lighter than the CMSA’s earlier Feitian EVA suit used for low Earth orbit. It is covered in a protective fabric to guard against extreme temperatures and lunar dust. The suits also have a wide-ranging, non-reflective shield (防护)and both short and long focus length cameras. Unlike the earlier suits, these lunar suits allow for much more flexibility while moving on the moon. Apart from the practicalities, representatives explained that aesthetics (美学) were also important during the design phase. The appearance of the new spacesuit was emphasized. According to CNN, the mainly white spacesuits have red stripes on their upper parts inspired by the “flying apsaras” from ancient Chinese art. “The stripes on the legs are designed to look like ‘rocket launch flames,’ representing a strong-willed and determined spirit, and that’s the key.” as Zhang Wanxin, director of the CMSA’s engineering office, told China’s CCTV. This weekend’s announcement also saw the CMSA officials task the nation with helping name the new suits, which will be chosen later. This not only shows China’s remarkable achievements in space exploration but also reflects its cultural pride and rapid advances in science and technology. By integrating traditional Chinese cultural elements into modern technology, China showcases its unique charm and great power to the world. Meanwhile, the public naming initiative encourages citizens to engage with the space program, creating a closer link between the space and the people. 12. What is one advantage of the new spacesuit? A. It is more user-friendly. B. It is more cost-effective. C. It is more pressure-resistant. D. It is more water-proof. 13 Why is the appearance emphasized in the new design? A. To follow the international trend. B. To adjust the lunar environment. C. To highlight Chinese cultural elements. D. To downplay the aesthetic value. 14. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The technical descriptions of the new spacesuits. B. The cultural pride behind China’s space exploration. C. The future prospect of the China Manned Space Agency. D. The international development in space technology. 15. What is the writing purpose of the text? A. To report China’s exploration progress. B. To introduce the manufacturing process of new spacesuit. C. To involve more people in the public naming initiative. D. To summarize China’s significant achievement. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道。本文报道了中国在太空探索方面取得的显著成就，特别是中国载人航天局（CMSA）计划在2030年前将宇航员送上月球，并展示了他们计划使用的太空服。整体而言，本文展示了中国在太空探索领域的实力和文化自信。 12题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Unlike the earlier suits, these lunar suits allow for much more flexibility while moving on the moon.(与早期的宇航服不同，这些月球宇航服在月球上移动时具有更大的灵活性)”可知，新的太空服在月球上移动时具有更大的灵活性，因此更加人性化（user-friendly）。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“According to CNN，the mainly white spacesuits have red stripes on their upper parts inspired by the ‘flying apsaras’ from ancient Chinese art.(据美国有线电视新闻网报道，这些以白色为主的宇航服上半部分有红色条纹，灵感来自中国古代艺术中的“飞天”)”可知，新的太空服外观设计强调突出了中国文化元素。故选C。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章最后一段中“This not only shows China’s remarkable achievements in space exploration but also reflects its cultural pride and rapid advances in science and technology.(这不仅展示了中国在太空探索方面取得的显著成就，也反映了中国的文化自豪感和科学技术的快速发展)”可知，该段主要讲述了中国太空探索背后的文化自豪感。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段的“China has made remarkable achievements in space exploration.The China Manned Space Agency （CMSA）aims to land its astronauts on the moon before 2030 and has recently shown the spacesuit they plan to use. (中国在太空探索方面取得了显著成就。中国载人航天局（CMSA）的目标是在2030年之前将宇航员送上月球，最近展示了他们计划使用的宇航服)”以及最后一段中“This not only shows China’s remarkable achievements in space exploration but also reflects its cultural pride and rapid advances in science and technology.(这不仅展示了中国在太空探索方面取得的显著成就，也反映了中国的文化自豪感和科学技术的快速发展)”可知，文章旨在报道中国在太空探索方面的进展和新的太空服。故选A。 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。 Practical Guides to Gift Giving Many people find special occasions and holidays to be stressful.

He was trembling (发抖) with cold, for he wore only sports shoes with holes in them, which couldn’t keep the cold out. He’d been there for nearly an hour, trying to come up with an idea for his mother’s Christmas gift. But he failed. With a heavy heart and tears in his eyes, he headed towards the street with shops. He walked from shop to shop, looking into each decorated window. Everything seemed so beautiful but he did not have money. It was getting dark and he was about to turn back home reluctantly (不情愿地), a glimmer (微光) on the roadside caught his eye. It was a shiny dime (一角硬币)! For a moment, Bobby felt unbelievably rich. He hurried into shop after shop, only to be told that his dime was too little to buy anything. Finally, he went into a flower shop and wait in line. When the shop owner asked if he could help him, Bobby showed his dime and asked to buy a single flower for his mom’s Christmas present. The shop owner, looking at Bobby’s sincere face and his dime, gently put a hand on Bobby’s shoulder. “Wait right here. I’ll see what I can do for you,” he said. As Bobby waited, he looked at the beautiful flowers and even though he was a boy, he could see why mothers and girls loved flowers. Paragraph 1: A few minutes later, the shop owner came out. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: With the bunch (束) of roses in his hands, Bobby walked out of the door and then began to run. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 A few minutes later, the shop owner came out. He asked Bobby to come to the counter. There, before Bobby’s eyes, lay twelve red roses, with leaves of green and tiny white flowers all tied together with a big silver tape. Bobby’s heart sank as the owner placed them gently into a long white box. “That will be ten cents, young man.” the shop keeper said, reaching out his hand for the dime. Slowly, Bobby moved his hand to give the man his dime. Could this be true? He wondered. With the bunch of roses in his hands, Bobby walked out of the door and then began to run. Within minutes, he was at home, still breathless. “Look, Mother, what have I bought for you?” Bobby called out in the backyard. Mother came out from inside the house. She could hardly believe her eyes upon seeing the beautiful flowers in front of her. “Merry Christmas!” Bobby said and began to tell her everything he had experienced in the flower shop. Tearfully, Mother hugged her son in her arms. Standing in the bitter cold air, they somehow didn’t feel cold at all. 【解析】 【导语】本文以六岁男孩鲍比为主线，讲述了在雪天里，失去父亲的鲍比为给母亲准备圣诞礼物，在街头苦苦寻觅。他意外捡到一角硬币，走进花店想用这微薄的钱买花。最终，在店主的帮助下，鲍比成功为母亲送上礼物，展现了孩子对母亲的爱以及陌生人的善意。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几分钟后，店主出来了。”可知，第一段可描写店主拿出精心准备的玫瑰，将其包装好，并以一角硬币的价格卖给鲍比，鲍比既惊喜又难以置信的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“鲍比手里拿着那束玫瑰，走出店门，然后开始奔跑。”可知，第二段可描写鲍比迫不及待跑回家，向母亲展示礼物，母亲看到花后十分震惊，鲍比讲述经历，母亲感动落泪并拥抱他，寒冷的天气里，母子俩却感受不到寒冷的温馨场景。 2. 续写线索：店主拿出花——低价卖给鲍比——鲍比惊喜——鲍比跑回家——展示礼物——母亲感动——母子相拥 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①放置：lay/placed /put/ ②伸出：reach out/stretch out ③拥抱：hug /embrace 情绪类 ①上气不接下气：breathless/out of breath 【点睛】[高分句型1] Bobby’s heart sank as the owner placed them gently into a long white box.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2] Standing in the bitter cold air, they somehow didn’t feel cold at all.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年第一学期 高三年级英语学科期中考试测试卷 (时间：120分钟　满分：150分) 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。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.

As nations strive to reduce their carbon footprints, residential energy use — responsible for nearly 20% of energy-related emissions — poses unique challenges. Below is the 2022 breakdown of household emissions by source. ELECTRICITY 52% HEATING 28% COOLING 12% APPLIANCES 6% LIGHTING 2% Clean energy solutions for homes must be affordable, efficient, and adaptable to diverse climates. While technologies vary, here are key innovations driving the shift toward sustainability. HEAT PUMPS — Efficient Heating/Cooling Replacing gas boilers, electric heat pumps transfer warmth from air or ground, cutting heating emissions by 50%. Hybrid models, hopefully, might be able to work in sub-zero temperatures in the near future. SMART GRIDS (电网) — Dynamic Electricity Management AI-powered grids optimize energy use, storing surplus solar power during peak hours and reducing reliance on fossil-fuel backups. SOLAR PANELS — Rooftop Revolution Solar energy is the most accessible renewable source for households. Advances in photovoltaic cells have cut costs by 80% since 2010, making them viable in numerous regions. WIND TURBINES — Community Microgrids Small-scale turbines (涡轮机) in windy areas can power neighborhoods, though land use debates persist. “The scale of this transition is staggering,” says Dr. Elena Torres, a climate scientist at MIT. Residential renewables like solar and heat pumps could meet 90% of global household demand by 2050 — but only if investments triple within this decade. Recent studies show that every $1 invested in green homes today saves $5 in future climate adaptation costs. This isn’t just an environmental imperative; it’s economically inevitable. 1. Which two categories combined account for over three-quarters of total household emissions? A. Electricity and Heating. B. Heating and Cooling. C. Appliances and Lighting. D. Cooling and Appliances. 2. Which technology is highlighted as cost-effective for diverse climates? A. Heat pumps. B. Smart grids. C. Solar panels. D. Wind turbines. 3. What does Dr. Torres emphasize about the energy transition? A. The dominance of gas boilers. B. The increase in solar efficiency. C. The need for higher investment. D. The breakthrough in heat pump technology. B In 2022, feeling unwell at home, celebrated novelist and screenwriter Hanif Kureishi fell, broke his neck and woke up paralyzed, unable to move his hands or body. For a year, he recovered in hospitals before returning home, where he now relies on full-time care. Kureishi poured his anger and depression into writing. Just days after the accident, he began dictating (口述) his work Shattered to his partner and son. The book explores his loss of independence and the shame of relying on others. Yet writing gave him purpose: “Even on painkillers, I wrote daily blogs. People cared about my story—it kept me going,” he says. Today, Kureishi uses a wheelchair and cannot stand or hold objects. Despite limited mobility, he works daily. “My job — talking and writing — saved me,” he explains. Many paralyzed patients cannot return to work, but Kureishi continues creating. “I earn money and support my family. I write more now than before,” he adds. His determination overcomes physical limits, proving creativity develops well in tough times. Each morning, he tackles physical therapy (治疗) with the same discipline he applies to writing, viewing both as acts of rebellion against his condition. Reflecting on his accident, he recalls hospital patients with similar stories: a man who jumped into an empty pool and another who tripped over a garden tool. “These unpredictable moments change everything. You are upset, asking ‘Why me?’, but anger gradually goes away when you rebuild purpose,” he says. Kureishi acknowledges the unfairness but focuses on what he can control — his work and relationships. He emphasizes gratitude for his support system, crediting loved ones for helping him handle daily challenges. Looking ahead, Kureishi remains ambitious. He’s writing another book, working together on a film with director Luca Guadagnino, and eagerly awaits Shattered’s US release. His days combine creativity and routine: mornings devoted to writing, afternoons to physical therapy, and evenings spent brainstorming new ideas. “Disability isn’t the end,” he insists. “It’s a new chapter — one where I write my own rules.” 4. What happened to Hanif Kureishi in 2022? A. He had a life-changing accident. B. He had a big argument with his son. C. He suddenly lost his ability to speak. D. He failed to complete his work on time. 5. What does the underlined word “rebellion” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Doubt. B. Struggle. C. Argument. D. Complaint. 6. Why does Kureishi mention other patients’ stories? A. To highlight the predictability of events. B. To explain the process of physical therapy. C. To show the importance of a positive mentality. D. To describe the challenges of writing while disabled. 7. What can we learn about Kureishi from the last paragraph? A. He is giving up on recovery. B. He is very angry about his disability. C. He thinks his disability is not affecting him. D. He is determined to live life on his terms. C Recently, African ports are expected to welcome a unique border-patrol (巡逻) “team” — Giant African Pouched Rats wearing small red vests. Relying on their remarkable sense of smell, they are about to play a crucial role in the fight against illegal wildlife trade. In regions such as West Africa, the rich wildlife resources attract enormous tourists. However, poaching (偷猎) and smuggling (偷运) activities are pushing some species to the danger of extinction. Poachers, driven by huge profits, either capture animals for the illegal pet trade or cruelly kill elephants, rhinos, etc. to obtain ivory and rhino horns. These precious items are then smuggled to other countries for sale, severely disturbing local biodiversity. Isabelle Szott, a behavioral ecologist, previously cooperated with the organization APOPO in Tanzania, which has successfully trained these rats for various tasks before, like detecting dangerous weapons and some infectious diseases. Given their excellent olfactory (嗅觉) ability, APOPO believes the rats also have great potential in port prevention and control. Szott’s team carefully selected and trained 11 rats. In a specially-made training box in the laboratory, researchers placed different smell samples to teach the rats to identify the smells of poached animals. Each time a rat accurately detected the target smell and signaled, it received delicious food as a reward. After training, these rats can not only recognize the smells of elephant tusks, rhino horns and African blackwood, but also precisely distinguish them from 146 other smells. Lab training is just the first step. Some rats then underwent field drills in simulated warehouses and real ports. When these rats get too old to work, they will “retire” honorably and enjoy their remaining years surrounded by fruits, vegetables, and dried fish. The involvement of Giant African Pouched Rats is expected to bring new hope to tackling wildlife poaching and smuggling. 8. Why are these rats a good choice for border-patrol? A. They are out of extinction. B. They are sensitive to the smell. C. They can maintain local biodiversity. D. They can distract poachers’ attention. 9. What tasks have the African Pouched Rats been trained for before? A. Detecting threatening arms. B. Controlling wildlife products. C. Protecting tourists in West Africa. D. Identifying different kinds of fruits. 10. How did the researchers train the 11 rats in the laboratory? A. They satisfy the rats’ appetite as bonus. B. They taught the rats to fit in the real fields. C. They let the rats play with different samples. D. They led the rats to track the poachers’ smells. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. New Hope Brought by APOPO for the Rats in Red Vests B. Measures Taken to Prevent Poaching and Smuggling C. The Remarkable Life of Giant African Pouched Rats D. A New Force in Fighting Wildlife Smuggling D China has made remarkable achievements in space exploration. The China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) aims to land its astronauts on the moon before 2030 and has recently shown the spacesuit they plan to use. However, the name of the suit is still up in the air. As reported by Space News, the CMSA revealed their new extravehicular (舱外的) activity (EVA) spacesuit at an event on September 28 in Chongqing, China. The suit was modeled by Wang Yaping, China’s second woman in space, and Zhai Zhigang, another astronaut. The presentation mainly focused on the suit’s outer features. In particular, the new suit is slimmer and lighter than the CMSA’s earlier Feitian EVA suit used for low Earth orbit. It is covered in a protective fabric to guard against extreme temperatures and lunar dust. The suits also have a wide-ranging, non-reflective shield (防护)and both short and long focus length cameras. Unlike the earlier suits, these lunar suits allow for much more flexibility while moving on the moon. Apart from the practicalities, representatives explained that aesthetics (美学) were also important during the design phase. The appearance of the new spacesuit was emphasized. According to CNN, the mainly white spacesuits have red stripes on their upper parts inspired by the “flying apsaras” from ancient Chinese art. “The stripes on the legs are designed to look like ‘rocket launch flames,’ representing a strong-willed and determined spirit, and that’s the key.” as Zhang Wanxin, director of the CMSA’s engineering office, told China’s CCTV. This weekend’s announcement also saw the CMSA officials task the nation with helping name the new suits, which will be chosen later. This not only shows China’s remarkable achievements in space exploration but also reflects its cultural pride and rapid advances in science and technology. By integrating traditional Chinese cultural elements into modern technology, China showcases its unique charm and great power to the world. Meanwhile, the public naming initiative encourages citizens to engage with the space program, creating a closer link between the space and the people. 12. What is one advantage of the new spacesuit? A. It is more user-friendly. B. It is more cost-effective. C. It is more pressure-resistant. D. It is more water-proof. 13. Why is the appearance emphasized in the new design? A. To follow the international trend. B. To adjust the lunar environment. C. To highlight Chinese cultural elements. D. To downplay the aesthetic value. 14. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The technical descriptions of the new spacesuits. B. The cultural pride behind China’s space exploration. C. The future prospect of the China Manned Space Agency. D. The international development in space technology. 15 What is the writing purpose of the text? A. To report China’s exploration progress. B. To introduce the manufacturing process of new spacesuit. C. To involve more people in the public naming initiative. D.

He was trembling (发抖) with cold, for he wore only sports shoes with holes in them, which couldn’t keep the cold out. He’d been there for nearly an hour, trying to come up with an idea for his mother’s Christmas gift. But he failed. With a heavy heart and tears in his eyes, he headed towards the street with shops. He walked from shop to shop, looking into each decorated window. Everything seemed so beautiful but he did not have money. It was getting dark and he was about to turn back home reluctantly (不情愿地), a glimmer (微光) on the roadside caught his eye. It was a shiny dime (一角硬币)! For a moment, Bobby felt unbelievably rich. He hurried into shop after shop, only to be told that his dime was too little to buy anything. Finally, he went into a flower shop and wait in line. When the shop owner asked if he could help him, Bobby showed his dime and asked to buy a single flower for his mom’s Christmas present. The shop owner, looking at Bobby’s sincere face and his dime, gently put a hand on Bobby’s shoulder. “Wait right here. I’ll see what I can do for you,” he said. As Bobby waited, he looked at the beautiful flowers and even though he was a boy, he could see why mothers and girls loved flowers. Paragraph 1: A few minutes later, the shop owner came out. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: With the bunch (束) of roses in his hands, Bobby walked out of the door and then began to run. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
