B(改编) The sun hangs heavy over central Iraq in the late afternoon,painting the ruins of Babylon in heat and light.Dust rises from the ground in soft clouds,creating a scene that seems older than time itself.In this moment the city feels both empty and timeless,its silence broken only by the visitors who have come to stand in the footprints of kings. Once,Babylon was the jewel of Mesopotamia,the city that gave its name to entire eras-the Oid,Middle,'and New Babyionian periods.It was here where grand temples and palaces were built,and where poets and historians imagined one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient Worid:the Hanging Gardens.Ancient Greek and Roman writers described them as a green paradise ()watered by artful pumps that lifted water from the Euphrates River. According to tales,Nebuchadnezzar,then King of Babylon,had them built for his queen who longed for the forested mountains of her homeland. For some iraqi archaeologists,the gardens are more than fairy tales.Some believe the gardens were located near the city of Hillah,about a two-hour drive south of the capital Baghdad, while others point to Nineveh,hundreds of miles to the north.For travelers,however,the debate hardiy matters.Standing among the ruins,it takes a good imagination to think of the gardens that left no marks to follow. In recent times,conservation work has been carried out to restore parts of Babylon.With the many challenges the site faces,it is often individuals rather than institutions that keep Babylon's stories alive.We met a 22-year-old tour guide Hashem,who was enthusiastic about introducing Iraqi history to foreigners.He graduated from the University of Babylon with a degree in biomedical engineering,and after that he turned to tourism,where his knowledge and command of English came in handy. 高三英语第3页共8页 Beyond its broken walls,Babylon continues to cast its spell.Visitors come and express admiration,wondering how the Hanging Gardens once rose from the desert plain.The ruins may be gone some day,but the tales will live on. 24.Why does the writer describe the ruins of Babylon in paragraph 1? A.To explain the reasons for its destruction. B.To highlight its heavy boring atmosphere. C.To create a contrast with its spiendid past. D.To express admiration for its great history. 25.What do archaeologists disagree about regarding the Hanging Gardens? A.Jts origin.B.Its location.C.Its designer. D.Its influence. 26.What does the author want to show by telling Hashem's story? A.Ordinary people contribute to preserving history. B.The restoration work provides job opportunities C.Tourism is successful in areas with a rich culture D.The country is in need of energetic young people. 27.What does the underlined phrase"cast its spell"in the last paragraph probably mean? A.Remain in ruins. B.Disappear over time. C.Hold great charm D.Make people puzzled. C(改编) Earlier this year,Alicia Meyer,a researcher at the University of Pennsylvania,tried to figure out the true ownership of a pair of leather gloves that rested in the university's library for nearly a century.The iong-forgotten mysterious gloves couldn't have belonged to William Shakespeare.Or couid they? Few relics tied to Shakespeare,who died in 1616,have survived the centuries.The writer's signature is extremely rare,existing only in legal documents.However,that Penn may possess a Shakespearean treasure is no surprise.Its Shakespeare collections,mostly from the donations of H.H.Fumess,the greatest Shakespearean scholar of his time,are world-famous.Among the Shakespearean jewels at Penn's library is a 1611 edition of Hamlet,one of only 19 copies in the world.But nothing like the gloves.They caused a stir when Fumess'son donated them in 1931. Meyer reached out to conservation librarian Tessa Gadomski for help,who studied them with technology normally used to treat and care for rare books and papers.Examining the gloves under ultraviolet light,Gadomski searched for clues of any post-industrial materials,which would show the gloves were likely made or repaired after Shakespeare's time.And found none.Next,she used x-ray fluorescence technology to search for signs of chromium (Cr)or titanium (Ti,commonly used in 18th-and 19th-century tanning techniques.Again,she found none. It would fit that Shakespeare would own a pair of fancy gloves.Clothes,as he once famously wrote,make the man.His plays made the money.His father was a glove maker.Plus,it was common for rich people to donate clothes,and even gloves,to theaters for costumes,Meyer said. "If he really wore them,then we feel like we're somehow in the presence of him,"Penn professor Zachary Lesser said about the gloves.But in his heart of hearts,he feels it's a long shot that they"'ll ever truly know.He hopes the renewed attention could unearth some historical evidence that could definitively tie the gloves-to the hands of perhaps the greatest writer the world has ever known. 28.Why is it not surprising that the gloves at Penn may belong to Shakespeare? A.The gloves have been kept there for years. B.Penn has a history of seeking valuable relics. C.The gloves were donated by a Shakespearean scholar. D.Penn is known for owning rare Shakespearean items 29.What was the significance of Gadomski's work? A.It ruled out non-Shakespearean possibilities. B.It confirmed the gloves'link to Shakespeare. 高三英语第4页共8页 C.It secured the gloves'long-term preservation. D.It uncovered post-industrial glove-making methods. 30.What is the function of Paragraph 4? A.To suggest another origin of the gloves. B.To conclude the findings of the research C.To support the assumption about the gloves. D.To provide more information about Shakespeare. 31.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Where did the Gloves Lead Us? B.Did Shakespeare Own These Gloves? C.Shakespeare's Gloves Resurfaced at Penn D.Long-forgotten Gloves Found Their Owner D(改编) These days,institutions and companies love to announce what they're doing to tackle the climate crisis.But in reality,the claims are not always accompanied by real,effective action -a shady practice known as greenwashing.But at the same time,other companies are not communicating their sustainability actions.This phenomenon is known as "greenhushing"and it could be just as dangerous as greenwashing.When organizations tone down their efforts,the broader sustainability conversation can be weakened-and the opportunity for businesses to be drivers of social change could be lost.But why would companies deliberately hide things that they are doing well? Our research has investigated how and why organizations take part in greenhushing.We focused particularly on how this occurs in service organizations.First,we examined the communication strategies of 300 UK hotels engaged in environmentally friendly practices across three channels:hotel websites,profiles (on travel site Booking.com,and sociai media platforms.We found that 62%of UK hotel websites do not inciude sustainability information, with only 2%of social media posts referring to it.Although booking platforms signal the sustainability of hotels that have third-party certifications,hotel websites often don't provide much explanation in this regard. Next,we uncovered three main reasons for the tendency towards not communicating-or even hiding-sustainability actions.First,managers spoke of reputational risks,highlighting their fear of being accused of greenwashing.Second,managers said they lacked confidence about the effectiveness of their sustainability practices.Finally,many service managers highlighted that instead of communicating good practice,they relied on sustainability ceriifications provided by third-party institutions to do the talking for them.But consumers don't always understand all these certifications. To build trust,it'would be better for organizations to provide clear and comprehensive information about their specific sustainability actions.The sustainability dialogue needs to be promoted so that businesses have the opportunity to act as genuine drivers of social change. 32.What does the author think of greenhushing in paragraph 1? A.It is a new form of greenwashing. C.It urges organizations to make efforts. B.It slows down sustainability progress. 33.What do the statistics presented in paragraph 2 indicate? D.It is more harmful than greenwashing. A.A rise in the quality of environmental posts. B.A gap between green actions and communication. C.A drop in the communication effectiveness of hotels D.A contrast between hotel websites and other channels. 34.What may cause companies tc avoid communicating their sustainability efforts? A.Fear of unfair criticism. C.Lack of third-party certifications. B.Consumers'low demands. 35.What can be a suitable title for the text? D.Managers'dependence on laws. 高三英语第5页共8页 A.Greenwashing:Businesses Promoting Sustainable Development B.Greenhushing:Businesses Discouraging Environmental Efforts C.Greenhushing:Businesses Understating Sustainable Practices D.Greenwashing:Businesses Showing Environmental Commitments 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。（改编） Soilless farming,as the name implies,is a type of farming where plants are cultured and grown without the use of the soil.It is also a systematic technique where plants are grown without the use of soil as a rooting environment.36 Due to lacking originality,conventional farming has many processes and requires the manure (of chemical mixtures to make the soil rich in nutrients.37 Nutrients are provided to the piants,majorly in liquid form,and their needs are met throughout life,from seeds to ripe fruit. In many soilless farming systems,water is recycled and reused until the plants are ready to harvest.38Additionally,it reduces the physical labor and energy required from workers, heiping them achieve higher profits while keeping costs very low. By following standardized steps throughout the entire production process,soilless farming can supply crops to the market every day,meeting consumers'needs.When countries that rely on food imports see how productive this farming method is,they will begin growing crops locally all year round.39 40_The rate at which pathogens (attack the farm will be zero as a result of how the planting environment is concerned,and if the pathogen ever attacks,the infected plant will be easily separated to avoid infecting the farm as a whole.Developed countries in the world are expected to adopt this mode of farming because doing so reduces the level of food importation and increases the availability of food in the country. A.However,soil farming requires more workload. B.The quality of the harvested food may be controlled. C.After all,food imports might pollute the environment. D.Hence,soilless farming is an alternative to dry regions. E.With this method,crops can be planted almost everywhere. F.Soilless farming has less workload and can enhance growth. G.In this way,even seasonal produce can be harvested anytime. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）（改编） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中远出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Nyeeerhhh...a continuous sound rings over Skwentna,a remote village in Alaska.It's a signal,but not one to be 41 by.Viilagers step outside their houses,look up at the "bomb"-a 15-pound frozen turkey-and run for it with 42 Esther Keim,a Skwenina native,began her "turkey-bombing"43 after a family visit,during which she learnt some villagers44food in winter.Recalling a family friend's act of 45 a turkey from a plane when she was a child,Keim thought,"maybe I can help more Alaskans in 46 winter." _areas where roads are blocked by heavy snow in 48 47,Keim will ask online if anyone needs a "turkey bomb".After getting she will make the purchase and fly to the destination with her friend Hastings.When they arrive,they fly low and tip the wing to make the nyeeerhhh sound which49their arrival.Aiming is a big 50 :Keim has to quickly51speed and distance to 高三英语第6页共8项 hit an open space.The turkey often goes missing,so she52 a video of the“bomb” falling to make it easier for receivers to 53 "It wouldn't be a big deal for me to do that,but it would bring me a lot of joy to 54 other people just like we were blessed years ago,"Keim says."Now we receive enough 5 so that we no longer pay out of pocket."

My wife Clara stood behind the counter,her eyes full of tiredness."The house owner called again,"she said,pushing a pile of unpaid bills toward me."If we don't pay the rent next month..." Her voice faded away.We'd run this shop for three years,but lately,it felt like the walls were closing in. Just then,rain poured down.A familiar figure was passing the window.It was Mrs.Green, a 61-year-oid lady.She had worked in the textile factory (for 40 years until she retired last year.As her husband died years ago and her children lived in another city,she lived alone in a small house.I often saw her sitting in her yard and doing some sewing and mending () She had grown quieter these months,usually hurrying past the shop with her head down,as if she didn't want to catch anyone's eye. Through the shop window,we saw her hurrying past,her thin coat a bit wet."Mrs.Green! Come in and take shelter!"Clara called out,waving her over.She hesitated for a moment,then slowed down and pushed open the door.Standing in the doorway,she looked awkwardly at the shelves,hands grabbing her wet clothes.We handed her a dry towel and offered a cup of tea. She sat on a chair by the counter,drinking slowly,and didn't say much-just watched us fold clothes and tidy books.Clara picked up a box of old dolis()-their plastic arms broken, button eyes missing,dresses worn out,asking me to throw them out.They were too worn out to be sold. 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。 While I was going out,a clear voice stopped me. nexpectedly,the mended dolls were quite popular with chiidren. 高三英语第8页共8页
