My heart raced with a mix of anxiety and hope when I saw the email sender’s name. The email started off: “Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process took longer than expected”. It ended with “We are sorry to inform you…” and my vision blurred (模糊). The position — measuring soil quality in the Sahara Desert as part of an undergraduate research programme — had felt like the answer I had spent years looking for. I had put so much time and emotional energy into applying, and I thought the rejection meant the end of the road for my science career. So I was shocked when, not long after the email, Professor Mary Devon, who was running the programme, invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shocked — and overjoyed — when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn’t seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to, but I was going to give it my all. I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest to pursue. When I applied to graduate school, I found three programmes promising to allow me to follow my desired research direction. And I applied with the same anxious excitement as before. When I was rejected from one that had seemed like a perfect fit, it was undoubtedly difficult. But this time I had the perspective to keep it from sending me into panic. It helped that in the end I was accepted into one of the other programmes I was also excited about. Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them. 4. How did the author initially feel upon seeing the email? A. Quite curious and interested. B. Quite nervous and excited. C. Rather surprised and confused. D. Deeply disappointed and upset. 5. What was the author’s first reaction to the rejection? A. He decided to abandon his scientific dream. B He immediately sought alternative programs. C. He felt it signaled the end of his career in science. D. He chose to observe the lab work without hesitation. 6. What does the author imply about the project he eventually undertook? A. It proved to be effective and innovative. B. It was more exciting than the Sahara project. C. It was completed under the tough desert conditions. D. It was a perfect fit for his original research interest. 7. What is the main life lesson the author learned from his experience? A. Only apply for programs that are a perfect fit. B. Seize and maximize the opportunities at hand. C. Rejections are unavoidable on the road to success. D. Always have a backup plan ready for any situation. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者申请项目被拒后抓住新机会并获得成长的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“My heart raced with a mix of anxiety and hope when I saw the email sender’s name. The email started off: “Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process took longer than expected”. It ended with “We are sorry to inform you...” and my vision blurred (模糊).(看到发件人名字的那一刻，我的心因焦虑与希望交织而狂跳不已。邮件开头写道：“亲爱的Green先生，感谢您的关注”，接着是“审核流程比预期耗时更长”。邮件结尾写着“我们很遗憾地通知您……”，看到这里，我的视线变得模糊。)”可知，作者看到邮件时最初是既紧张又兴奋的。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“I had put so much time and emotional energy into applying, and I thought the rejection meant the end of the road for my science career.(我投入了大量的时间和情感精力去申请，我认为被拒绝意味着我的科学职业生涯走到了尽头。)”可知，作者的第一反应是觉得这标志着他科学职业生涯的结束。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t.(那个项目，我可以在沙发上完成，而不用在炎热的沙漠中，它不仅在封锁期间得以继续，而且在传统方法不起作用的地方也发挥了作用。)”可知，作者最终承担的项目被证明是有效且创新的。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them.(我没有制定一成不变的计划，而是认识到有时候我需要抓住提供给我的机会，即使当时它们听起来并不完美，也要充分利用它们。)”可知，作者从他的经历中学到的主要人生教训是要抓住并充分利用眼前的机会。故选B。 C “Hitting a green wave? It’s the best feeling, especially when you’re in a hurry,” says actor Samuel Traum, unlocking his bike by a Copenhagen intersection crowded with cyclists. The Green Wave is a system started by the city 16 years ago: traffic lights on key routes are synchronized (同步) so that a cyclist riding about 20 km/h can catch green lights all the way. This system, designed to encourage bike travel, is now set to expand to 15 more routes. Like many European cities, Copenhagen became a city of cars after World War II. But in the 1970s, people fought back with mass bike protests that pushed the city to build a wide network of cycle lanes (车道). A recent study found that if all cities had as many, global CO₂ emissions from private cars could fall by 6%. Still, even Copenhagen struggles to reduce car use. Cycle highways help people reach the city’s end, but red lights slow them once they arrive. Planners hope the green waves will solve this. “It’s so important to have the freedom on a bike to just ride along at a good speed,” says Line Barfod, the mayor for technology and environment. “You can feel the city wants you — and supports you — going on a bike.” The new plan has faced little opposition. Yet at rush hour, some say the lanes are too crowded to enjoy the wave. Lars, who usually cycles too fast to ride the wave himself, thinks the city is reaching a difficult trade-off point. “We’re at a point now where we need to choose between cars and cycles. If you give cycles more space, it will compromise the ability of drivers to access different spaces.” Copenhagen has approved a 602-million-kroner cycling package to improve the system, building the country’s longest cycling bridge and upgrading lighting. The city has also set up 19 bicycle counters to study cyclists’ speed and plans to adjust lights to match their flow. Experts say such measures represent a vision: moving people out of cars and onto bikes — to save energy, reduce pollution, and make cities more livable. 8. What do Samuel Traum’s words reflect in paragraph 1? A. The danger caused by cycling. B. The convenience brought by the system. C. The importance of following traffic rules. D. The necessity of riding at a specific speed. 9. What caused Copenhagen to build a wide network of cycle lanes? A. A plan to improve traffic in Europe. B. A study on reducing greenhouse gas. C. The order from the mayor after the war. D. The mass bike protests in the 1970s. 10. What does the underlined word “compromise” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Assess. B. Strengthen. C. Ensure. D. Weaken. 11. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Monitoring bike speed with devices. B. Building a landmark cycling bridge. C. Upgrading the green wave system. D. Adjusting traffic lights for cyclists. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了哥本哈根的“绿波”系统，包括其起源、发展、面临的挑战以及未来的改进计划。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Hitting a green wave? It’s the best feeling, especially when you’re in a hurry.(赶上绿波？这是最好的感觉，尤其是当你赶时间的时候。)”可知，Samuel Traum的话反映了“绿波”系统为骑行者带来的便利，特别是在赶时间的时候。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Like many European cities, Copenhagen became a city of cars after World War II. But in the 1970s, people fought back with mass bike protests that pushed the city to build a wide network of cycle lanes.(和许多欧洲城市一样，哥本哈根在二战后成为了一个汽车城市。但在20世纪70年代，人们通过大规模的自行车抗议活动进行反击，促使该市建立了广泛的自行车道网络。)”可知，是20世纪70年代的大规模自行车抗议活动促使哥本哈根建立了广泛的自行车道网络。故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“We’re at a point now where we need to choose between cars and cycles. If you give cycles more space, it will compromise the ability of drivers to access different spaces.(我们现在处于一个需要在汽车和自行车之间做出选择的时刻。如果你给自行车更多的空间，这将compromise司机进入不同空间的能力。)”可知，如果给自行车更多的空间，那么司机进入不同空间的能力就会受到影响，也就是会削弱司机的这种能力，所以“compromise”在这里的意思是“削弱”。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Copenhagen has approved a 602-million-kroner cycling package to improve the system, building the country’s longest cycling bridge and upgrading lighting. The city has also set up 19 bicycle counters to study cyclists’ speed and plans to adjust lights to match their flow.(哥本哈根已经批准了一项价值6.02亿克朗的自行车计划，以改善该系统，建设该国最长的自行车桥并升级照明。该市还设立了19个自行车计数器来研究骑行者的速度，并计划调整灯光以适应他们的流量。)”可知，最后一段主要讲的是哥本哈根正在升级绿波系统，包括建设自行车桥、升级照明、设立自行车计数器以及调整灯光等。故选C。 D The youngest members of society — children and teenagers — are growing up in a digitalized world, where they are increasingly dependent on electronic devices. Many children engage with screens as early as babyhood and early childhood. Instead of interacting with playmates, children often find themselves buried in single-player gaming. Even family dinners are now frequently dominated by screens rather than meaningful interactions. Developmental psychologists warn that this phenomenon could have long-term effects. “Children need in-person interactions to build empathy (共情) and emotional regulation,” said Dr. Daniel, a clinical psychiatrist. “Without those formative experiences, they’re at risk of becoming adults who struggle to deal with relationships that involve complex social interactions and emotions.” He described in his article America’s Loneliness Epidemic: What Is to Be Done? Studies indicate that prolonged contact with digital devices during critical developmental years can influence the growth of the prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮质), the part of the brain responsible for decision-making and empathy. These changes may leave children ill-equipped to navigate the complexities of adult relationships, creating a cycle of isolation. Teenagers are perhaps the most at-risk groups in the loneliness crisis. In the period of two decades, in-person social interaction among teens has dropped by 70%, replaced largely by digital communication. Social media platforms make it seem like people are connected, but they often make people feel worse about themselves and left out. The damage to people’s minds is really bad. Depression and anxiety rates among teenagers have increased, and studies by Dr. Vivek, link social media use to loneliness and confirm it. For teens, loneliness is not just an emotional state but a sign to life-threatening mental health crises. So it is essential to solve the problem of children’s dependence on digital devices through various approaches. This includes establishing clear guidelines for screen time, encouraging activities that promote social development, and educating children about the importance of a balanced lifestyle. By doing so, we can create an environment that supports the overall well-being of children. 12. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph? A. The over-reliance on digital device. B. The lack of habitual self-discipline. C. The improvement of family bonding. D. The rapid development of technology. 13. What potential harm does this phenomenon do to teenagers according to Dr. Daniel? A. Weakening their problem-solving skills. B Increasing their struggle for self-independence. C. Impacting the development of their social responsibility. D. Reducing their ability to handle complicated relationships. 14. What’s the trap of social media according to the passage? A. It feeds constant self-doubt. B. It sets off comparison anxiety. C. It creates an image of belonging. D. It forces people to share private data. 15. What can be done to solve the mental health crises? A. Support digital exploration. B. Have real-life interaction. C. Encourage tech engagement. D. Receive specific training. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了儿童和青少年对电子设备的过度依赖及其带来的长期负面影响，并提出了相应的解决措施。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The youngest members of society — children and teenagers — are growing up in a digitalized world, where they are increasingly dependent on electronic devices.(社会中最年轻的成员——儿童和青少年——正在一个数字化的世界中成长，他们越来越依赖电子设备。)”可知，第一段描述的现象是儿童和青少年对电子设备的过度依赖。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中““Children need in-person interactions to build empathy (共情) and emotional regulation,” said Dr. Daniel, a clinical psychiatrist. “Without those formative experiences, they’re at risk of becoming adults who struggle to deal with relationships that involve complex social interactions and emotions.”(临床精神病学家Daniel博士说：“孩子们需要面对面的互动来培养共情能力和情绪调节能力。如果没有这些形成性的经历，他们有可能成为在处理涉及复杂社会互动和情感的关系时感到困难的成年人。”)”可知，Daniel博士认为，这种过度依赖电子设备的现象会降低青少年处理复杂关系的能力。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Social media platforms make it seem like people are connected, but they often make people feel worse about themselves and left out.(社交媒体平台让人们看起来是相互联系，但它们往往会让人们对自己感觉更糟，产生被孤立感。)”可知，社交媒体的陷阱是营造出“彼此相连”的假象（即归属感的表象），实则加剧孤独感。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“So it is essential to solve the problem of children’s dependence on digital devices through various approaches. This includes establishing clear guidelines for screen time, encouraging activities that promote social development, and educating children about the importance of a balanced lifestyle. By doing so, we can create an environment that supports the overall well-being of children.(因此，通过多种途径解决儿童对电子设备的依赖问题至关重要。这包括制定明确的屏幕时间指南，鼓励促进社会发展的活动，以及教育儿童了解平衡生活方式的重要性。通过这样做，我们可以创造一个支持儿童整体健康的环境。)”可知，解决心理健康危机的措施包括鼓励现实生活中的互动。故选B。 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。 Vertical (垂直的) farming can date back to as far as 2,500 years ago. The hanging gardens of Babylon are considered one of the first examples of vertical farming. About 1,500 years later, the Aztecs developed a form of hydroponic (水培的) farming. ____16____ In the 1600s, French and Dutch farmers grew Mediterranean fruits on walls that maintained heat to help the fruits survive colder conditions. Controlled environments for food production are not new. ____17____ In 1999, Dickson Despommier and his graduate students explored the concept of vertical farming as a way to feed growing urban populations, leading to the broader use of the term in the 2010s and 2020s. Vertical farming as a practice really didn’t become popular in the United States until around 2020, but it has been used in countries like Japan and the Netherlands for decades, according to Koga, where greenhouses (the early form of vertical farming) in general are a much more integral part of their culture and food production. ____18____ Today, much of the work in creating more nutrient-rich food through vertical farming comes down to science. ____19____ Currently, researchers are working to create seeds that are best suited for an indoor, controlled environment. ____20____ For instance, FFAR invested some $7.5 million in the PIP consortium to research varieties specific to indoor planting. “We’ve adapted plants through history,” Reich told Built In. “We need to try to see if we can adapt plants specifically to indoor agriculture, to see if that makes it more economically practical for the future.” A. The research witnesses more than one sponsor. B. This practice was copied by many other farmers. C. They created floating boats to grow crops on waters. D. Yet the term “vertical farming” caught on much later. E. The older industry shapes vertical farming’s operations. F. Conventional methods adjust seeds for weather and soil. G. Thus, vertical farming is adopted to reduce greenhouse gases. 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. E 19. F 20.

I enjoy the tactile pleasure of holding a book and the focus it brings, and I dedicate at least 30 minutes to it every day. This habit has proven immensely beneficial. Firstly, reading physical books significantly enhances my concentration and memory retention, which directly improves my academic performance, especially in literature. Moreover, by immersing myself in various literary worlds, I have broadened my horizons and developed critical thinking skills. For instance, after reading To Kill a Mockingbird, I reflected deeply on social justice. In conclusion, paper reading is far more than a hobby; it is a vital practice that continuously enriches my mind and soul. Version 2 The Efficiency of Digital Reading As a modern student, I primarily adopt digital reading. Using a lightweight e-reader, I can access a vast library anytime, anywhere. This allows me to make use of bits of time efficiently, such as during my daily commute. The advantages are remarkable. The most significant one is the instant access to diverse and up-to-date resources, which keeps me well-informed. Furthermore, features like the built-in dictionary allow me to look up new words instantly, greatly boosting my vocabulary learning efficiency and reading fluency. This method has made me a more independent learner. All in all, digital reading serves as a powerful key, unlocking a world of knowledge conveniently and effectively. Version 3 My Balanced Reading Strategy To maximize benefits, I smartly combine paper and digital reading. I choose paper books for deep, immersive reading at home, while using my e-reader for its convenience on the go. This hybrid approach offers me the best of both worlds. Paper books enhance my focus and comprehension, whereas digital reading provides timely information and saves space. Consequently, this strategy has not only broadened my knowledge across various fields but also sharpened my language skills flexibly and effectively. In conclusion, by choosing the right medium for the right situation, I have made reading a sustainable and highly rewarding part of my life. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生就学校英文报的“Youth Voice”栏目正在举办关于“中学生课外阅读习惯”的讨论活动写一篇短文投稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 喜爱：preference→fondness 不同的：various→diverse 例如： for instance→for example 重要的：vital→essential 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：As a regular reader, I have a strong preference for paper reading. 拓展句：As I am a regular reader, I have a strong preference for paper reading. 【点睛】【高分句型1】 Firstly, reading physical books significantly enhances my concentration and memory retention, which directly improves my academic performance, especially in literature. （运用了动名词reading作主语和which引导的非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】For instance, after reading To Kill a Mockingbird, I reflected deeply on social justice.（运用了动名词reading作介词后宾语） 第二节 (满分25分) 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Siya was excited to set off for her long-awaited holiday in Himachal. After working at a stretch for months, she couldn’t wait to escape to the peaceful mountains. Her parents would be joining her too. The weather, the mountains and the peace, everything would be theirs for a whole month! She reached a day earlier to settle into the guest house before her parents arrived. As she sat by the window, sipping her coffee and watching the mountains, the caretaker of the guest house arrived, worried. “Ma’am, there’s been heavy snowfall in all parts of the state. So, the flights to Himachal have been canceled. It’s going to be difficult for anyone to get through for the next few days,” he said. Siya’s heart sank. She quickly grabbed her phone to call her mother when a message arrived: “Dear kiddo, our flight got cancelled because of the snow. We’re stuck here for five more days. Stay safe, and we’ll be there as soon as we can.” “Well, what now?” Siya muttered to herself, feeling disappointed. “I was looking forward to seeing them. What will I do alone for so long?!” The next day, Siya spent her time at the guest house all by herself. The snow continued to fall heavily and the roads remained blocked. It was peaceful yet lonely. She spent her time reading books and watching snowflakes but felt downhearted about how her holiday had begun. Then, on the second day, as she was lying on the couch of the living room, she heard a soft sound, like a tiny cry. She froze for a moment, wondering if her mind was playing tricks on her. She stood up and followed the sound to the porch (门廊). 注意： 1.写作词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 To her surprise, there was a wet, shaking baby cat on the porch. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As her parents stepped inside, Siya spotted an adult cat in the doorway. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 To her surprise, there was a wet, shaking baby cat on the porch. Its fur was matted with snow, and its small body trembled violently from the cold. Siya’s heart softened instantly — all her disappointment faded away. She rushed back inside to grab a warm towel, gently wrapped the kitten up, and placed it near the fireplace. She then fetched a bowl of warm milk, which the little cat drank eagerly. For the next few days, Siya no longer felt lonely. She named the kitten “Snowy” and spent her time feeding it, playing with it, and watching it curl up in her lap. The snow outside still blocked the roads, but her days were now filled with tiny, warm joys. As her parents stepped inside, Siya spotted an adult cat in the doorway. It stood there cautiously, its eyes fixed on Snowy in Siya’s arms. Suddenly, Snowy let out a soft meow and jumped down, running straight to the adult cat. The two rubbed against each other gently — Siya realized it must be Snowy’s mother. Her parents laughed as they watched the sweet scene. “We were worried you’d be bored,” her mother said, hugging her. Siya smiled and shook her head. “Snowy kept me company,” she said, looking at the two cats. Though the holiday started with a twist, it turned out to be more wonderful than she’d imagined — full of unexpected warmth and love. 【解析】 【导语】故事以人物为线索展开，讲述西亚满心期待前往喜马偕尔邦度假，她提前一天到民宿安顿，却得知因大雪航班取消，父母需滞留五天。之后她独自在民宿待着，虽环境宁静却倍感孤独，直到第二天在客厅听到细微的叫声，便循着声音走到了门廊。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①根据第一段首句“令她吃惊的是，门廊上有一只湿漉漉的、发抖的小猫。”可知，接下来可描写西娅把小猫带回家，并精心照顾，并和小猫逐渐产生的感情。 ②根据第二段首句“当她的父母走进去时，西娅发现门口有一只成年猫”可知，接下来可描写小猫径直奔向成年猫，此时西娅意识到她是小猫的妈妈，看到它们温馨的相见场景西娅觉得这个假期充满爱和温暖。 2.续写线索：看到小猫——带小猫回家——精心照顾——产生感情——成年猫到来——小猫和成年猫温馨的相见场景——西娅觉得假期充满爱和温暖 3.词类激活 行为类 ①颤抖：tremble/shake/quiver ②冲：rush/dash ③蹭：rub/brush 情绪类 ①孤独的：lonely/isolated/solitary ②令人愉悦的：wonderful/fantastic 【点睛】【高分句型1】She then fetched a bowl of warm milk, which the little cat drank eagerly.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】It stood there cautiously, its eyes fixed on Snowy in Siya’s arms.（运用了“名词+过去分词”的独立主格结构） 【高分句型3】Though the holiday started with a twist, it turned out to be more wonderful than she’d imagined — full of unexpected warmth and love.（运用了though引导的让步状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026届高三年级上学期模拟考试(一) 英语试题 本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 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。每段对话读两遍。 1.

B Sitting in the garden for my friend’s birthday, I felt a buzz (振动) in my pocket. My heart raced with a mix of anxiety and hope when I saw the email sender’s name. The email started off: “Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process took longer than expected”. It ended with “We are sorry to inform you…” and my vision blurred (模糊). The position — measuring soil quality in the Sahara Desert as part of an undergraduate research programme — had felt like the answer I had spent years looking for. I had put so much time and emotional energy into applying, and I thought the rejection meant the end of the road for my science career. So I was shocked when, not long after the email, Professor Mary Devon, who was running the programme, invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shocked — and overjoyed — when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn’t seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to, but I was going to give it my all. I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest to pursue. When I applied to graduate school, I found three programmes promising to allow me to follow my desired research direction. And I applied with the same anxious excitement as before. When I was rejected from one that had seemed like a perfect fit, it was undoubtedly difficult. But this time I had the perspective to keep it from sending me into panic. It helped that in the end I was accepted into one of the other programmes I was also excited about. Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them. 4. How did the author initially feel upon seeing the email? A. Quite curious and interested. B. Quite nervous and excited. C. Rather surprised and confused. D. Deeply disappointed and upset. 5. What was the author’s first reaction to the rejection? A. He decided to abandon his scientific dream. B. He immediately sought alternative programs. C. He felt it signaled the end of his career in science. D. He chose to observe the lab work without hesitation. 6. What does the author imply about the project he eventually undertook? A. It proved to be effective and innovative. B. It was more exciting than the Sahara project. C. It was completed under the tough desert conditions. D. It was a perfect fit for his original research interest. 7. What is the main life lesson the author learned from his experience? A. Only apply for programs that are a perfect fit. B. Seize and maximize the opportunities at hand. C. Rejections are unavoidable on the road to success. D. Always have a backup plan ready for any situation. C “Hitting a green wave? It’s the best feeling, especially when you’re in a hurry,” says actor Samuel Traum, unlocking his bike by a Copenhagen intersection crowded with cyclists. The Green Wave is a system started by the city 16 years ago: traffic lights on key routes are synchronized (同步) so that a cyclist riding about 20 km/h can catch green lights all the way. This system, designed to encourage bike travel, is now set to expand to 15 more routes. Like many European cities, Copenhagen became a city of cars after World War II. But in the 1970s, people fought back with mass bike protests that pushed the city to build a wide network of cycle lanes (车道). A recent study found that if all cities had as many, global CO₂ emissions from private cars could fall by 6%. Still, even Copenhagen struggles to reduce car use. Cycle highways help people reach the city’s end, but red lights slow them once they arrive. Planners hope the green waves will solve this. “It’s so important to have the freedom on a bike to just ride along at a good speed,” says Line Barfod, the mayor for technology and environment. “You can feel the city wants you — and supports you — going on a bike.” The new plan has faced little opposition. Yet at rush hour, some say the lanes are too crowded to enjoy the wave. Lars, who usually cycles too fast to ride the wave himself, thinks the city is reaching a difficult trade-off point. “We’re at a point now where we need to choose between cars and cycles. If you give cycles more space, it will compromise the ability of drivers to access different spaces.” Copenhagen has approved a 602-million-kroner cycling package to improve the system, building the country’s longest cycling bridge and upgrading lighting.

D The youngest members of society — children and teenagers — are growing up in a digitalized world, where they are increasingly dependent on electronic devices. Many children engage with screens as early as babyhood and early childhood. Instead of interacting with playmates, children often find themselves buried in single-player gaming. Even family dinners are now frequently dominated by screens rather than meaningful interactions. Developmental psychologists warn that this phenomenon could have long-term effects. “Children need in-person interactions to build empathy (共情) and emotional regulation,” said Dr. Daniel, a clinical psychiatrist. “Without those formative experiences, they’re at risk of becoming adults who struggle to deal with relationships that involve complex social interactions and emotions.” He described in his article America’s Loneliness Epidemic: What Is to Be Done? Studies indicate that prolonged contact with digital devices during critical developmental years can influence the growth of the prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮质), the part of the brain responsible for decision-making and empathy. These changes may leave children ill-equipped to navigate the complexities of adult relationships, creating a cycle of isolation. Teenagers are perhaps the most at-risk groups in the loneliness crisis. In the period of two decades, in-person social interaction among teens has dropped by 70%, replaced largely by digital communication. Social media platforms make it seem like people are connected, but they often make people feel worse about themselves and left out. The damage to people’s minds is really bad. Depression and anxiety rates among teenagers have increased, and studies by Dr. Vivek, link social media use to loneliness and confirm it. For teens, loneliness is not just an emotional state but a sign to life-threatening mental health crises. So it is essential to solve the problem of children’s dependence on digital devices through various approaches. This includes establishing clear guidelines for screen time, encouraging activities that promote social development, and educating children about the importance of a balanced lifestyle. By doing so, we can create an environment that supports the overall well-being of children. 12. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph? A. The over-reliance on digital device. B. The lack of habitual self-discipline. C. The improvement of family bonding. D. The rapid development of technology. 13. What potential harm does this phenomenon do to teenagers according to Dr. Daniel? A. Weakening their problem-solving skills. B. Increasing their struggle for self-independence. C. Impacting the development of their social responsibility. D. Reducing their ability to handle complicated relationships. 14. What’s the trap of social media according to the passage? A. It feeds constant self-doubt. B. It sets off comparison anxiety. C. It creates an image of belonging. D. It forces people to share private data. 15. What can be done to solve the mental health crises? A. Support digital exploration. B. Have real-life interaction. C. Encourage tech engagement. D. Receive specific training. 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。 Vertical (垂直的) farming can date back to as far as 2,500 years ago. The hanging gardens of Babylon are considered one of the first examples of vertical farming. About 1,500 years later, the Aztecs developed a form of hydroponic (水培的) farming. ____16____ In the 1600s, French and Dutch farmers grew Mediterranean fruits on walls that maintained heat to help the fruits survive colder conditions. Controlled environments for food production are not new. ____17____ In 1999, Dickson Despommier and his graduate students explored the concept of vertical farming as a way to feed growing urban populations, leading to the broader use of the term in the 2010s and 2020s. Vertical farming as a practice really didn’t become popular in the United States until around 2020, but it has been used in countries like Japan and the Netherlands for decades, according to Koga, where greenhouses (the early form of vertical farming) in general are a much more integral part of their culture and food production. ____18____ Today, much of the work in creating more nutrient-rich food through vertical farming comes down to science. ____19____ Currently, researchers are working to create seeds that are best suited for an indoor, controlled environment. ____20____ For instance, FFAR invested some $7.5 million in the PIP consortium to research varieties specific to indoor planting. “We’ve adapted plants through history,” Reich told Built In. “We need to try to see if we can adapt plants specifically to indoor agriculture, to see if that makes it more economically practical for the future.” A. The research witnesses more than one sponsor. B. This practice was copied by many other farmers. C. They created floating boats to grow crops on waters. D. Yet the term “vertical farming” caught on much later. E. The older industry shapes vertical farming’s operations. F. Conventional methods adjust seeds for weather and soil. G. Thus, vertical farming is adopted to reduce greenhouse gases. 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) 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I decided at 10 that I was going to be a teacher because I had a burning desire for superpowers.

After working at a stretch for months, she couldn’t wait to escape to the peaceful mountains. Her parents would be joining her too. The weather, the mountains and the peace, everything would be theirs for a whole month! She reached a day earlier to settle into the guest house before her parents arrived. As she sat by the window, sipping her coffee and watching the mountains, the caretaker of the guest house arrived, worried. “Ma’am, there’s been heavy snowfall in all parts of the state. So, the flights to Himachal have been canceled. It’s going to be difficult for anyone to get through for the next few days,” he said. Siya’s heart sank. She quickly grabbed her phone to call her mother when a message arrived: “Dear kiddo, our flight got cancelled because of the snow. We’re stuck here for five more days. Stay safe, and we’ll be there as soon as we can.” “Well, what now?” Siya muttered to herself, feeling disappointed. “I was looking forward to seeing them. What will I do alone for so long?!” The next day, Siya spent her time at the guest house all by herself. The snow continued to fall heavily and the roads remained blocked. It was peaceful yet lonely. She spent her time reading books and watching snowflakes but felt downhearted about how her holiday had begun. Then, on the second day, as she was lying on the couch of the living room, she heard a soft sound, like a tiny cry. She froze for a moment, wondering if her mind was playing tricks on her. She stood up and followed the sound to the porch (门廊). 注意： 1.写作词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 To her surprise, there was a wet, shaking baby cat on the porch. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As her parents stepped inside, Siya spotted an adult cat in the doorway. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
