B One of my bad habits is saying "busy"when people ask me how I'm doing. Sometimes it's because I actually am busy,but other times it's because that's what I think I'm supposed to say.That's what important people say.That's what people who get promoted say.But working long hours doesn't drive better results.Never taking a vacation won't lead to a promotion.So why are we so proud to talk about how busy we are all the time? In 2016,researchers from Columbia,Harvard,and Georgetown conducted a study to figure it out.They found busy people are perceived to be of high status,and interestingly, these status attributions are heavily influenced by our own beliefs about social mobility.In other words,the more we believe that one has the opportunity for success based on hard work,the more we tend to think that people who skip leisure and work all the time are of higher standing. That's why we feel like we have to appear busy,and there's a real perception that if someone is knee-deep in meetings,e-mails,and stress,then they're probably a big deal. This culture of busyness is making it hard for employees to find work-life balance. According to a recent study,one in five highly engaged employees is at risk of burnout. Personally,I'm going to stop saying"busy"when people ask me how I am.It sounds self-righteous and sets the wrong tone.Phrases like "I have limited access to e-mail"and "I'll respond as soon as I get back"sound like you're being held back from working against your will as opposed to making the most of your time off. By rejecting the myth that busyness equals worth,we free ourselves and others from 高三年级英语试题第5页共15页 exhaustion.True success isn't about working harder,it's about working smarter and finding balance.Let's redefine what it means to be productive-and start valuing rest as much as effort. 24.How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph? A.By quoting famous people. B.By presenting statistical data. C.By comparing different opinions. D.By introducing personal experience. 25.Why do we tend to think that busy people are of high status? A.Our status can be attributed to our social mobility B.We hold the belief that hard work leads to success. C.Our own opportunity for success never comes easily. D.We find few people of high status have time for leisure. 26.What does the underlined phrase"knee-deep in in paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Bored with. B.Worried about. C.Fully involved in. D.Very interested in 27.What is the author's purpose in writing the passage? A.To advise employees on how to achieve work-life balance B.To share his personal experience of overcoming a bad habit. C.To introduce a study on people's attitude toward busyness. D.To argue against the culture of equating busyness with worth. C The ability to detect a nearby presence without seeing or touching it may sound fantastical-but it's a real ability that some creatures have.A family of African fish known as Mormyrids are weakly electric,and have special organs that can locate a nearby target,even when it's hiding in the mud.Scientists have now developed an artificial sensor system modelled on the ability of these fish. "We developed a new strategy for 3D motion positioning by electronic skin, bio-inspired by electric fish',"says Dr.Xinge Yu,an associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the City University of Hong Kong.The team described their e-skin sensor in a paper published on November 14 in Natre. The artificial sensor is multi-layered.One layer acts as a transmitter,which will generate an electric field once activated,and another layer acts as a receiver to detect both 高三年级英语试题第6页共15页 the direction and the distance to an object.A separate controller creates the driving signal to activate the transmitter.When an object comes within range,the electric field around the sensor is disrupted,which in turn can be detected by the receiver.This data is then processed by the microcontroller unit,which computers the position of the target object and sends that information to a smartphone or other devices. A special hydrogel(生物凝胶)is used in the sensor,which has the ability to transmit and receive electric signals from a pattern of microchannels on the surface.The end result is a sensor that is thin,soft and flexible,making it cosy to adapt to irregular surfaces,such as the human body.In contrast to the traditional sensor system that needs a large number of sensors to achieve spatial positioning,the new system can locate an object precisely in 3D space using just a few sensors.This significantly reduces the power consumption of data collection,transmission and processing. The researchers hope that this sensor could one day open up a new range of wearable technologies,including sensors for human-machine interaction and thin,flexible e-skin 28.The first paragraph aims to show A.the special ability of African fish B.the inspiration for a new invention C.the big challenge of locating objects D.the reason for developing a sensor 29.What is the correct order of the system's working procedures? a.The transmitter creates an electric field. b.A unit computes the position of the target. c.The controller sends the activating signal. d.The receiver detects the change of electric signals e.The electric field is disrupted by an approaching object. A.c-a-e-d-b B.c-a-d-e-b C.a-c-e-d-b D.a-e-c-d-b 30.What is an advantage of the new sensor system? A.Its sensitivity to different stimulations B.Its adaptation to environmental changes. C.Its efficiency in achieving 3D positioning. D.Its speed in data collection and processing 31.What is the best title for the text? A.Machine Detective Wears"Flexible E-skin 高三年级英语试题第7页共15页 B.Bio-inspired Sensor"Feels"Without Touching C.E-Skin Sensor:The Future of Machine Learning D.Electric Fields:The Frontier of Object Detection D How do you tell if something is real or imaginary?We have now discovered a brain pathway that seems to help you decide,which could improve treatments for hallucinations (caused by conditions like Parkinson's disease. We already know that the parts of the brain that activate when we imagine something visual are similar to those involved in seeing actual visual objects,but it is unclear how we distinguish between the two. To find out,Nadine Dijkstra and her colleagues asked 26 people to carry out a visual task while their brain activity was recorded via MRI scans.The participants had to view a still gray block on a screen for 2 seconds,in a process repeated more than 100 times.They were also instructed to imagine seeing diagonal lines on each block,though half of the blocks really did have diagonal lines.After viewing each block,the participants were asked to rate how vividly they saw the lines on a scale of 1 to 4 and say whether they thought the lines were real or imaginary. By analyzing the brain recordings,the researchers found that an area called the fusiform gyrus was more active when people saw lines more vividly.Crucially,when the activity in the fusiform gyrus rose above a certain level,this led to a jump in activity in an area called the anterior insula,leading people to judge something as real. While it is unlikely that these brain regions are the only ones involved in deciding what is real versus imaginary,further exploration of this pathway could deepen our understanding of how to treat visual hallucinations caused by conditions like Parkinson's disease. 32.Why did Dijkstra's team conduct the study? A.To advance MRI scanning technology. B.To map different functions of the brain. C.To know how brains tell real from imaginary. D.To explore an immediate cure for hallucinations 高三年级英语试题第8页共15页 33.What were participants required to do in the experiment? A.Decide if the lines really existed B.Count the blocks with diagonal lines C.Identify the color of blocks in 2 seconds. D.View blocks with real diagonal lines only. 34.What role does the fusiform gyrus play according to the findings? A.It makes diagonal lines real. B.It produces imaginary diagonal lines. C.It lessens the anterior insula's activity. D.It reflects vividness of visual experiences. 35.What is the last paragraph mainly about? A.Practical treatments for Parkinson's.B.Medical significance of the findings C.Eager anticipation for other studies. D.Further analysis of the experiment. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10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。 What's social jet lag?Socialjet lag occurs when you stay up later and then sleep in later on weekends than you do on weekdays.Changing the hours that you sleep from day to day affects your body's natural internal clock. Social jet lag affects the body similarly to travel jet lag.When you shift your sleeping hours,your body feels as if it were in a different time zone.36 For example,if you stay up late on Saturday night and then sleep in on Sunday morning,you will likely have a hard time falling asleep on Sunday night.This is because your body has not been awake for enough hours to feel tired at your usual Sunday bedtime.37 Yet,frequently changing your body's internal clock doesn't just cause daytime sleepiness. 38 Social jet lag has been linked to several chronic health problems.Changes in the internal clock caused by inconsistent sleeping hours lead to changes in the circulatory (血液循环的)system and raise the risk of heart disease.ndividuals who regularly experience social jet lag are also more likely to smoke cigarettes and consume more caffeine. These habits can significantly influence sleep 高三年级英语试题第9页共15页 Sticking to your sleep schedule is an important part of addressing social jet lag.39 A 2019 study found that when participants kept their sleep and wake up times within 15 to 30 minutes of the same time each day,they reported better sleep,less depression,and less stress.Study participants were also able to improve their cognitive reaction time scores. 40 If you usually change your regular sleep schedule on weekends,it may be time to try to keep a more consistent one.While it may feel difficult to keep the same sleeping hours each day,you will likely notice the health benefits right away. A.It can significantly impact your health as well. B.This can make falling and staying asleep difficult C.Moreover,establishing a regular sleep schedule is crucial D.Adjust your sleep schedule,and everything will be OK E.This likely makes waking up early on Monday morning difficult F.Aim to go to bed at the same time every day,even on weekends. G.In general,social jet lag is a common problem that we may all experience. 第三部分英语知识运用（共四节，满分40分) 第一节完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入 空白处的最佳选项。 Having a child that is nonverbal or speech-delayed can be frustrating.It's also heartbreaking to see them interact with other children but 41 to express their full selves.So,when a child with autism makes their first language 42,it's a significant moment.

A mere 8% engage in extended reading. Evidently, most students prioritize exam-focused drills yet overlook reading for interest and enrichment. Could you kindly offer some practical tips on optimizing their self-study schedules? Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分 25分） Getting water, she saw Mr. Carter, who was with the receptionist, pulling out his wallet. Getting water, she saw Mr. Carter, who was with the receptionist, pulling out his wallet. Mia paused, her hand freezing on the water dispenser. Mr. Carter slid a crumpled envelope to the receptionist, saying, “Settle their medical bills first.” When he turned and spotted Mia, he gave a faint smile: “Your dad fixed my wobbly porch step last month. Neighbors help each other.” Mia’s eyes shining with appreciation, she nodded, unable to utter a single word. By the time Dad left the exam room, the weight of their worry had replaced by a quiet, warm gratitude. Later that night, Leo recovered from his illness. Dad carried Leo to the car, then pulled out the 12 dollars and a thank-you note. “Mr. Carter, this is all we have now—please take them,” he said.Mr. Carter turned them down gently, his weathered hands pushing the few dollars back, “Don’t keep score of small favors—just pass the kindness on someday.” On the way home, Mia rested against the window, thinking about Mr. Carter’s warm smile. “Dad, next time Mrs. Henderson needs help with her groceries, I’ll go with you,” she said. She suddenly understood: a little kindness could take root in people’s hearts and grow. From that week on, Mia would leave a fresh cookie on Mr. Carter’s porch every Sunday morning. 听力原文： (Text 1) W: Excuse me. I’m looking for the nearest supermarket. M: It’s on this road, but I wouldn’t go there. W: Why not? It can’t be that far. M: There’s a store a bit farther, and it sells cheaper things, although it’s not as big as the supermarket. (Text 2) W: Jack, look at this poster! The school’s singing contest is next week. Are you joining? M: Maybe. But I heard the rules are strict — original songs only. I need time to prepare. (Text 3) W: Eric, you returned later than usual today. What are we having for dinner? M: Why don’t we get a takeaway? W: I thought you wanted to cook! OK then, let’s place an order. (Text 4) M: Did I tell you about my terrible day? I locked myself out of my house. W: Oh, no! What did you do? M: Well, I called the landlady … And I found out she was away on holiday. Luckily, I got in touch with her son. (Text 5) W: I was taking a walk after a day’s work last Friday, and I saw Morten Haarkett! M: That’s amazing! Did you speak to him? W: Yes! I would have regretted it if I had missed the opportunity. I said, “I am a big fan of your band! ” (Text 6) M: Are you going to the science festival this weekend? W: Yeah, I can’t wait! There’s going to be lots of workshops and talks. It’s the energy display that I’m really looking forward to. I think there might be some interactive games, too, which is your kind of thing. M: Yeah, they should be fun. W: Are you going to join in any of the interactive activities? M: Yeah, actually, I’ve signed up for something called Build a Bridge. It’s an engineering competition. Obviously, there are some cool prizes. (Text 7) M: What a fascinating lecture! The importance of choosing the right colors for a global website never crossed my mind. W: I already knew different colors mean different things in different cultures, so it makes sense to think about how the choice of color affects how successful a website is. I was totally absorbed in the lecture’s arguments, though. M: I thought the approach some companies take was a good solution. You know, changing the colors of their site according to the country they’re marketing products in. W: Well, I’d use a universally accepted color like blue. It maintains a uniform appearance for the company. Plus, it’s widely regarded as positive and trustworthy across diverse cultures, so it helps avoid any unintended misunderstandings or issues. (Text 8) M: I hear you went to Paris last week. How did you get there? W: I got the train from London. It was really quick and very comfortable, even in standard class. M: That’s a bit of a comedown for you. W: I must admit that I like traveling in style, but I also can’t resist an attractive price. I saw a very good deal online and just had to go for it! M: Then you stayed in an expensive hotel? W: I actually found somewhere that was also good value for money. It wasn’t right in the center but very close to a subway station. M: Did you visit art galleries and go on a boat trip on the River Seine? W: Absolutely not! With the money I’d saved, I ended up going to some wonderful restaurants. The bills were more than I spent on my train ticket or the hotel. (Text 9) M: How did you get on with your school-based research? W: Well, it was tiring but really valuable. M: Good. What was the specific focus you chose? W: My title is “Attitudes toward study among eleven-twelve year-old pupils”. M: Right. And what made you choose that focus? W: Well, that’s a bit difficult ... lots of my classmates decided on their focus mainly on the basis of what they thought would help in their future career, you know, in their first year’s teaching. M: So that’s what helped you decide? W: Actually, it was that I came across a book written by experienced teachers on student attitudes and that motivated me to go for the topic. M: Okay. So what were your research questions or issues? W: Well, I wanted to look at the ways students responded to different teachers, particularly focusing on whether very strict teachers made teenagers less motivated. M: And, did you find that was true? W: No, not from what I saw, you know, from my five days’ observation, talking to people and so forth. (Text 10) M: Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the Annual Ski and Snowboard Exhibition held from April 8th to 17th. I am Mark Granger, organizer of the event this year. The event features many highlights.This might be the first time coming here for some of you. So for those who are still wondering about the right accommodation, I recommend Sky Hotel. It has its own health and sports clubs just like most of the hotels here, but I love it because of its incredibly comfortable beds which guarantee good rest after a tiring day of exploration. Many have posed the question as to how to enter the skiing and snowboarding competition. Well, rather than filling out the back of the entrance ticket or flooding the committee with emails, the most effective method is by paying attention to the exhibition newsletter delivered every month for availability.As the most beloved local event, the exhibition has also drawn attention from the press. Last year, massive media expressed concern over the low snowfall. In order to avoid the same situation, several artificial skiing runs have been built. With more participants this year, we have lowered the entrance fee which has been widely reported by local newspapers. ( 2 )西安中学2026届高三质量检测考试(三)英语参考答案第5页共5页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
