Nowadays, smart watches are becoming increasingly popular among students. Many students wear them to school every day. The main benefit is that they can help students keep track of time and manage their schedules better, which is very useful for busy students. What’s more, some smart watches have health-monitoring functions that can remind students to exercise. However, there are also potential problems. One issue is that students may get distracted by the various apps on the watches during class, which affects their learning. In my opinion, students should use smart watches wisely and only when necessary. 第二节 （满分25分） The next morning, Wilson told Peter his thoughts. He described how their robotic arm could help clean the polluted lake. With excitement, Peter quickly grasped the potential. They spent every afternoon in the workshop, where they carefully adjusted the design for cleaning the lake. The arm’s fingers were reshaped to better grasp trash, while new sensors helped identify different types of waste. In the end, their creation was ready for testing. After a month, they tested their new design near the lake. A small group of curious onlookers gathered as the robotic arm extended over the murky water. With precise movements, it successfully retrieved plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and even a submerged bicycle tire. Local residents cheered. When the arm struggled with a particularly heavy object, Wilson quickly adjusted the pressure settings, demonstrating their invention’s adaptability. As the sun set, casting golden light on the cleaner water, Mr. Hurd proudly announced, “This is what technology can do for our environment.” 　 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年高二选择性必修第三册英语单元测试卷 Unit9·提升卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：120分钟，满分：150分） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 做题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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．How does Emily sound now?

Try one or more of these plant experiments for fun and learning. *Color carnations (康乃馨) Fill a glass with water and color the water. Add a white carnation stalk (茎) and watch the plant become colorful as it “drinks” the colored water. This is a great, short experiment to show how plants take in water. *Plant root vegetables Find out how root vegetables form underground by planting them in a clear container. First, fill the bottom of the container with small stones. Next, add potting soil and plant rot vegetable seeds, trying carrots or onions, evenly. Keep the soil wet and enjoy watching the rot form. Best of all, when the vegetable is done growing, you can eat it! *Study speedy sunflowers Sunflower seeds sprout (发芽) and grow quickly, making this the perfect flower for impatient children. These seeds can be started just about anywhere, even in a paper coffee cup or yogurt container. Kids love seeing the plant push its way out of the soil, wearing the seed’s outer part like a hat! Move your plant to a flower pot after it sprouts to observe the lower as it forms. *Make a grass basket Grass is another seed that grows quickly. Make a living basket by lining a basket with plastic and filling it with potting soil Put grass seeds on top and water them lightly every day. Growing plants is a great way to bring some leaning—and a little sunshine—to your daily life. Try any of these inexpensive garden experiments for a fun project this spring. 21．Which garden experiment will you choose to see how plants “drink” water? A．Color carnations. B．Make a grass basket. C．Plant root vegetables. D．Study speedy sunflowers. 22．What is special about the experiment of “Plant root vegetables”? A．It has strict requirements for temperature. B．It offers you the tasty fruits of your labor. C．It is prefect for impatient kids. D．It is boring to carry on. 23．What do sunflowers and grass have in common? A．They both need little water. B．They both welcome sunshine. C．They both prefer clear containers. D．They both grow very quickly. 【答案】21．A 22．B 23．D 【导语】本文为说明文，主要介绍了几个适合儿童进行的植物生长实验，旨在通过有趣且富有教育意义的活动，向孩子们传授关于植物生长的知识。 21．细节理解题。由文章Color carnations (康乃馨)部分中的“Add a white carnation stalk (茎) and watch the plant become colorful as it “drinks” the colored water. This is a great, short experiment to show how plants take in water. (添加一根白色的康乃馨茎，看着植物在“喝”彩色的水时变得五彩缤纷。这是一个伟大而简短的实验，展示了植物是如何吸收水分的。)”可知，Color carnations可以观察植物如何“喝水”。故选A。 22．细节理解题。由文章Plant root vegetables部分中的“Best of all, when the vegetable is done growing, you can eat it! (最重要的是，当蔬菜生长完成后，你就可以吃了！)”可知，该实验的特别之处在于它为你提供了劳动的美味成果。故选B。 23．推理判断题。由文章Study speedy sunflowers部分中的“Sunflower seeds sprout (发芽) and grow quickly, making this the perfect flower for impatient children. (葵花籽发芽，生长迅速，使其成为不耐烦的孩子完美的花。这些种子可以在任何地方开始，甚至在纸咖啡杯或酸奶容器中。)”和Make a grass basket部分中的“Grass is another seed that grows quickly. (草是另一种生长迅速的种子。)”可知，它们两者都生长得非常快。故选D。 B A company from Finland called IXI is creating smart glasses. This new invention aims to provide clear vision at various distances, getting rid of the need for bifocals (双光眼镜). Indeed, this new development could fix main problems with bifocals. Bifocals have separate areas for near and far sight, forcing users to move their heads to see clearly and offering a smaller field of view. IXI’s method provides a clear view at all distances without such actions. This advancement represents a major leap forward from earlier attempts. While not the first of their kind, they mark a significant improvement. More than ten years ago, a company named Adlens made glasses that could be manually changed by the wearer to match their vision needs. However, this was a one-time setting. IXI’s glasses are different. They are made to keep adjusting constantly and automatically according to where the wearer is looking. The battery inside is designed to last for two days and can be charged at night. The company also hopes the glasses will accommodate many different face shapes. The key technology relies on a special material called liquid crystals (晶体) in the lenses (镜片). Niko Eiden, the company leader, says, these crystals can be repositioned electrically, allowing the lenses to be freely adjusted. A built-in eye-tracker and a system that uses light to measure distance work together to determine the distance of an object and adjust the lenses accordingly. This adjustment occurs in just 0.2 seconds, faster than the human eyes’ natural focusing speed. Even with this exciting technology, there are still problems to solve before the glasses can be sold. There are strict medical rules for vision correction products. Designers also need to fit a battery without making the glasses heavy. What’s more, additional real-world testing is needed for activities like driving. Fortunately, for safety, if the system stops working, the wearer can still look through the top part of the lenses. 24．Who would benefit most directly from this technology? A．People losing their glasses frequently. B．People caring about the weight of glasses. C．People relying on bifocals for vision correction. D．People mainly working in the dark environments. 25．How do IXI’s glasses differ from Adlens’ earlier product? A．IXI’s glasses are much cheaper for users. B．IXI’s glasses needn’t be charged anymore. C．IXI’s glasses adjust automatically and continuously. D．IXI’s glasses use a much more common material. 26．Which two parts work together to determine object distance? A．The lenses and the safety-related design. B．The liquid crystals and the built-in battery. C．The liquid crystals and the eye-tracker. D．The eye-tracker and the light-based system. 27．What will IXI most probably do next? A．Do more practical tests and meet demanding medical rules. B．Increase adjustment speed and reduce production cost. C．Replace liquid crystals and add more safety functions. D．Promote the glasses to international consumer markets. 【答案】24．C 25．C 26．D 27．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了芬兰IXI公司研发的智能眼镜，阐述其优势、工作原理，以及上市前需解决的问题。 24．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“This new invention aims to provide clear vision at various distances, getting rid of the need for bifocals (双光眼镜).(这项新发明旨在提供不同距离的清晰视野，不再需要双光眼镜)”和第二段中的“Indeed, this new development could fix main problems with bifocals.(事实上，这一新进展可以解决双光眼镜的主要问题)”可知，这款智能眼镜专为解决双光眼镜的弊端设计，因此依赖双光眼镜矫正视力的人会最直接地从这项技术中受益。故选C项。 25．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“More than ten years ago, a company named Adlens made glasses that could be manually changed by the wearer to match their vision needs. However, this was a one-time setting. IXI’s glasses are different. They are made to keep adjusting constantly and automatically according to where the wearer is looking.(十多年前，一家名为Adlens的公司生产了一种眼镜，佩戴者可以手动调节以适应自己的视力需求。然而，这只是一次性设置。IXI的眼镜则不同。它们能根据佩戴者的注视方向持续自动调节)”可知，IXI眼镜与Adlens早期产品的区别在于前者可自动持续调节。故选C项。 26．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“A built-in eye-tracker and a system that uses light to measure distance work together to determine the distance of an object and adjust the lenses accordingly.(内置的眼动追踪器和一个利用光线测量距离的系统协同工作，确定物体的距离并相应地调节镜片)”可知，眼动追踪器和光基测量系统共同作用以确定物体距离。故选D项。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“ Even with this exciting technology, there are still problems to solve before the glasses can be sold. There are strict medical rules for vision correction products. Designers also need to fit a battery without making the glasses heavy. What’s more, additional real-world testing is needed for activities like driving. (尽管这项技术令人振奋，但这款眼镜正式上市前，仍有诸多问题亟待解决。视力矫正类产品有着严苛的医疗相关规定，设计师还需要在不增加眼镜重量的前提下嵌入电池。此外，针对驾驶这类场景，还需开展更多的实际场景测试)”可推断，IXI接下来最可能做的是完成更多实际测试，同时满足严苛的医疗规定。故选A项。 C Green roofs are no longer merely eco-friendly architectural features that enhance urban landscapes and contribute to cleaner, healthier cities. A recent study shows a promising new function: they can block an estimated 97.5% of microplastics from rainwater. This positions green roofs as a strategic opportunity for the initial interception of atmospheric pollutants, offering valuable insights for future microplastic pollution management strategies. Also known as living roofs, green roofs are vegetated systems integrated into building structures, with designs varying by climate, and purpose. Their history spans from ancient Persia and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon to Scandinavian sod roofs. However, it was in 1980s Germany that a research-driven revival (复兴) took place, leading to modern “Building Integrated Vegetation” systems. The benefits of green roofs are diverse. They provide heat regulation, enhance urban biodiversity, manage stormwater, reduce flood risk, offer sound insulation (隔音), and create recreational or food production spaces. Moreover, they deliver both physical and mental health benefits to nearby residents and workers. Previous research has also highlighted their role in reducing energy costs and clearing airborne pollutants. A Tongji University study reveals green roofs can intercept most airborne microplastics. In simulated tests using soil and plants, 66%-92% of microplastic particles were trapped in the soil, with plants capturing the rest. While increased rainfall improved retention, fibers were harder to capture than fragments (碎片). This shows green roofs’ potential in reducing urban microplastic pollution. However, the study acknowledges limitations. Results are based on controlled conditions and may not represent all green roofs, which perform differently across climates and seasons. Moreover, green roofs themselves may age and degrade, potentially producing new microplastics over time. Thus, they are not a “set it and forget it” solution. Despite these uncertainties, the potential is significant. The researchers advocate for large-scale field studies to refine their findings. They maintain that expanding green roofs on a city or regional scale could cost-effectively reduce atmospheric microplastic pollution and support sustainable development. As they conclude, green roofs can play a valuable role in easing urban microplastic pollution and inform future environmental management strategies. 28．What is a newly discovered function of green roofs? A．Reducing urban noise pollution. B．Enhancing urban food production. C．Improving building energy efficiency. D．Blocking microplastics from rainwater. 29．What can be inferred about the effectiveness of green roofs in capturing microplastics? A．It is higher during dry seasons. B．It is unaffected by rainfall intensity. C．It varies with weather and location. D．It is consistent across all climates. 30．What is a potential long-term concern regarding green roofs? A．They may increase urban temperatures. B．They could become a source of microplastics. C．They might reduce urban biodiversity. D．They will require no further maintenance. 31．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．Green Roofs: A Tool Against Microplastics B．Microplastic Pollution: A New Threat C．Green Roofs: A Historical Review D．Building Design: Past and Future 【答案】28．D 29．C 30．B 31．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍绿色屋顶的新功能——拦截雨水微塑料，阐述其特性、优势、研究发现、局限性及应用潜力。 28．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A recent study shows a promising new function: they can block an estimated 97.5% of microplastics from rainwater.(最近一项研究发现了一个极具前景的新功能：绿色屋顶估计能阻挡来自雨水97.5%的微塑料)”可知，绿色屋顶新发现的功能是阻挡雨水里的微塑料。故选D项。 29．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“While increased rainfall improved retention, fibers were harder to capture than fragments (碎片).(降雨量的增加能提升（微塑料的）截留效果，不过纤维状微塑料比碎片状微塑料更难被捕捉)”和第五段中的“Results are based on controlled conditions and may not represent all green roofs, which perform differently across climates and seasons.(研究结果基于受控环境，可能无法代表所有绿色屋顶，其效果会因气候和季节不同而存在差异)”可推断，绿色屋顶捕捉微塑料的效果会随天气（降雨量）和地点（气候差异）变化。故选C项。 30．细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Moreover, green roofs themselves may age and degrade, potentially producing new microplastics over time.(此外，绿色屋顶本身可能会老化降解，久而久之可能产生新的微塑料)”可知，绿色屋顶潜在的长期担忧是它们可能成为微塑料的来源。故选B项。 31．主旨大意题。根据第一段“A recent study shows a promising new function: they can block an estimated 97.5% of microplastics from rainwater. This positions green roofs as a strategic opportunity for the initial interception of atmospheric pollutants, offering valuable insights for future microplastic pollution management strategies.(最近一项研究发现了一个极具前景的新功能：绿色屋顶估计能阻挡来自雨水97.5% 的微塑料。这使绿色屋顶成为初步拦截大气污染物的战略契机，为未来微塑料污染治理策略提供了宝贵思路)”，第四段中“This shows green roofs’ potential in reducing urban microplastic pollution.(这体现了绿色屋顶在减少城市微塑料污染方面的潜力)”和最后一段“As they conclude, green roofs can play a valuable role in easing urban microplastic pollution and inform future environmental management strategies.(研究人员总结道，绿色屋顶能在缓解城市微塑料污染方面发挥重要作用，并为未来的环境治理策略提供参考)”可知，文章开篇点明绿色屋顶拦截微塑料的新功能，中间补充其特性、优势及相关研究，结尾强调其在对抗微塑料污染中的价值，核心围绕“绿色屋顶作为对抗微塑料的工具”展开。“Green Roofs: A Tool Against Microplastics(绿色屋顶：对抗微塑料的工具)”最能概括全文主旨，适合作本文标题。故选A项。 D In February 2004, Ben Hammersley, a British journalist, noticed a new kind of digital media: “downloadable radio” produced by amateurs or public broadcasters. Hammersley suggested a few names for it. Fortunately, “audioblogging” and “GuerillaMedia” did not catch on. But a third did: podcasting, a combination of “iPod” and “broadcasting”. At a conference the next year, Steve Jobs, Apple’s late boss, asked how many people in the audience had heard of podcasting. Not a single person raised their hand. But 20 years later, podcasts are mainstream. Around 43% of American internet users and 30% of Britons listen to at least one a month and podcasting has turned anyone with a microphone into a talk show host or hostess. The trend came shortly after the birth of the iPhone which was released in 2007. The first standalone podcast apps came out between 2010 and 2012. Since then, tech companies and investors rushed in. For example, Spotify, which was always hungry for new customers and free audio content, has invested $1 billion in podcasting since 2018. But in 2024, the music stopped. Although podcasting was predicted to rise, advertisers and investors realized that they knew relatively little about how many people had actually listened to podcasts: “Downloads”, the standard industry measurement for engagement, did not always equate to listening. Podcasters were struggling to turn a profit. Spotify cut 200 podcasting jobs and others followed suit. What does the future hold? Some think the future of podcasting lies in video. Many podcasts, including a talk show hosted by Joe Rogan, the most popular podcast globally, now employ video to increase their audience. Betting that some people want visual entertainment while listening, Spotify started supporting video podcasts in 2020. “As trust in traditional media has fallen, podcasts appear more credible and reliable,” writes David Dowling in his new book Podcast Journalism. “Instead of formal interviews, listeners get casual conversations. Instead of news measured in minutes, listeners are led through whole investigations over hours.” 32．Why is Steve Jobs mentioned in paragraph 2? A．To stress the popularity of iPhones. B．To explain how podcasting was created. C．To highlight the influence of iPods. D．To show podcasting was not widely used then. 33．What do the underlined words “the music stopped” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A．The best time came to an end. B．Spotify stopped podcasting music. C．The audience disliked podcasting. D．Podcasters started turning to videos. 34．Which is gaining popularity in the 2020s? A．GuerillaMedia. B．Video podcasts. C．Audioblogging. D．Downloadable radios. 35．What does David Dowling think of podcasts? A．They are usually formal. B．They are outdated. C．They are more trustworthy. D．They are too long. 【答案】32．D 33．A 34．B 35．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了播客的发展历程。 32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“At a conference the next year, Steve Jobs, Apple’s late boss, asked how many people in the audience had heard of podcasting. Not a single person raised their hand.(第二年的一次会议上，已故的苹果老板史蒂夫·乔布斯问在场的观众有多少人听说过播客。没有一个人举手。)”可知，在乔布斯提问时，现场没有一个人举手，这表明当时播客并不被广泛使用。所以提到史蒂夫·乔布斯是为了表明当时播客并不流行。故选D项。 33．词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Although podcasting was predicted to rise, advertisers and investors realized that they knew relatively little about how many people had actually listened to podcasts: “Downloads”, the standard industry measurement for engagement, did not always equate to listening. Podcasters were struggling to turn a profit. Spotify cut 200 podcasting jobs and others followed suit.(尽管播客被预测会兴起，但广告商和投资者意识到，他们对实际收听播客的人数知之甚少：“下载量”是衡量参与度的行业标准，但并不总是等同于收听量。播客们正努力实现盈利。Spotify削减了200个播客岗位，其他公司也纷纷效仿。)”可知，虽然播客被预测会兴起，但实际情况是广告商和投资者对播客的收听情况了解甚少，播客难以盈利，Spotify等公司纷纷裁员。这表明播客行业的繁荣时期已经结束。所以“the music stopped”意思是“最好的时期结束了”。选项A“The best time came to an end.(最美好的时光终于结束了。)”符合题意。故选A项。 34．细节理解题。根据第五段中“What does the future hold? Some think the future of podcasting lies in video. Many podcasts, including a talk show hosted by Joe Rogan, the most popular podcast globally, now employ video to increase their audience. Betting that some people want visual entertainment while listening, Spotify started supporting video podcasts in 2020.(未来会怎样？一些人认为播客的未来在于视频。许多播客，包括全播客主持人乔·罗根主持的一档全球最受欢迎的脱口秀节目，现在都使用视频来增加观众。Spotify认为有些人在听的同时想要视觉娱乐，于是在2020年开始支持视频播客。)”可知，在2020年代，视频播客正在变得流行。故选B项。 35．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‘As trust in traditional media has fallen, podcasts appear more credible and reliable,’ writes David Dowling in his new book Podcast Journalism.(“随着对传统媒体的信任度下降，播客显得更加可信和可靠，”大卫·道林在他的新书《播客新闻》中写道。)”可知，David Dowling认为播客更可信、更可靠。故选C项。 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。 The UK, Finland, Germany, and Sweden are consistently the top performers in European tech ecosystems.

Nowadays, smart watches are becoming increasingly popular among students. Many students wear them to school every day. The main benefit is that they can help students keep track of time and manage their schedules better, which is very useful for busy students. What’s more, some smart watches have health-monitoring functions that can remind students to exercise. However, there are also potential problems. One issue is that students may get distracted by the various apps on the watches during class, which affects their learning. In my opinion, students should use smart watches wisely and only when necessary. 第二节（满分25分） 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。 From Code And Arm To Care And Action In a senior high school, Mr. Hurd’s hands-on workshop was alive-robotic arms clicking and lines of code (代码) flashing on screens. Wilson sat focused at his workstation. With steady hands, he carefully connected the final wire of the robotic arm with the remoter and uploaded his code. With the remoter, Wilson tried to control the robotic arm beside his desk. Finally, the arm came to life, smoothly picking up a small ball as planned. At the sight of it, Wilson exchanged a high-five with his classmate Peter, who made a successful attempt as well. Around them, students were rewriting the code, adjusting their robotic arms, testing their functions and celebrating their progress. Mr. Hurd wandered between the desks, offering tips and encouragement. When he reached Wilson and Peter, he nodded with a satisfied smile. “Impressive,” he said. Wilson and Peter’s faces lit up at the praise. Seeing their proud smiles, Mr. Hurd nodded approvingly and said, “You’ve done a remarkable job with your robotic arms, but what can this arm help in real life?” After school, lost in Mr. Hurd’s question, Wilson unconsciously took a different route home, one he hadn’t adopted for years. As he approached the lake, he froze in disbelief, shocked by what he saw. The once-clear water was now dark and polluted, with bottles and other rubbish piling up along the bank. He couldn’t believe his eyes. The lake used to shine like silver under the morning sun, and butterflies danced above flowers while families laid out picnic blankets on the grassy banks. Wilson remembered those mornings clearly, especially the one when his grandfather said, “This lake raised us. One day, it’ll be your turn to take care of it.” Sitting on a rock by the shore, Wilson stared at the rubbish in front of him. “How did something so beautiful end up like this? What could I do to help it?” he thought. Then, suddenly, an idea hit him. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 The next morning, Wilson told Peter his thoughts. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After a month, they tested their new design near the lake. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【参考范文】 The next morning, Wilson told Peter his thoughts. He described how their robotic arm could help clean the polluted lake. With excitement, Peter quickly grasped the potential. They spent every afternoon in the workshop, where they carefully adjusted the design for cleaning the lake. The arm’s fingers were reshaped to better grasp trash, while new sensors helped identify different types of waste. In the end, their creation was ready for testing. After a month, they tested their new design near the lake. A small group of curious onlookers gathered as the robotic arm extended over the murky water. With precise movements, it successfully retrieved plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and even a submerged bicycle tire. Local residents cheered. When the arm struggled with a particularly heavy object, Wilson quickly adjusted the pressure settings, demonstrating their invention’s adaptability. As the sun set, casting golden light on the cleaner water, Mr. Hurd proudly announced, “This is what technology can do for our environment.” 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ ( …………○…………内…………○…………装…………○…………订…………○…………线…………○……………………○…………内…………○…………装…………○…………订…………○…………线…………○………… ) ( ※※请※※不※※要※※在※※装※※订※※线※※内※※答※※题※※ ) ( …………○…………外…………○…………装…………○…………订…………○…………线…………○………… ) ( 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ ) ( …………○…………外…………○…………装…………○…………订…………○…………线…………○………… ) 2025-2026学年高二选择性必修第三册英语单元测试卷 Unit9 提升卷 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ （时间：120分钟，满分：150分） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分1.5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．How does Emily sound now?

Try one or more of these plant experiments for fun and learning. *Color carnations (康乃馨) Fill a glass with water and color the water. Add a white carnation stalk (茎) and watch the plant become colorful as it “drinks” the colored water. This is a great, short experiment to show how plants take in water. *Plant root vegetables Find out how root vegetables form underground by planting them in a clear container. First, fill the bottom of the container with small stones. Next, add potting soil and plant rot vegetable seeds, trying carrots or onions, evenly. Keep the soil wet and enjoy watching the rot form. Best of all, when the vegetable is done growing, you can eat it! *Study speedy sunflowers Sunflower seeds sprout (发芽) and grow quickly, making this the perfect flower for impatient children. These seeds can be started just about anywhere, even in a paper coffee cup or yogurt container. Kids love seeing the plant push its way out of the soil, wearing the seed’s outer part like a hat! Move your plant to a flower pot after it sprouts to observe the lower as it forms. *Make a grass basket Grass is another seed that grows quickly. Make a living basket by lining a basket with plastic and filling it with potting soil Put grass seeds on top and water them lightly every day. Growing plants is a great way to bring some leaning—and a little sunshine—to your daily life. Try any of these inexpensive garden experiments for a fun project this spring. 21．Which garden experiment will you choose to see how plants “drink” water? A．Color carnations. B．Make a grass basket. C．Plant root vegetables. D．Study speedy sunflowers. 22．What is special about the experiment of “Plant root vegetables”? A．It has strict requirements for temperature. B．It offers you the tasty fruits of your labor. C．It is prefect for impatient kids. D．It is boring to carry on. 23．What do sunflowers and grass have in common? A．They both need little water. B．They both welcome sunshine. C．They both prefer clear containers. D．They both grow very quickly. B A company from Finland called IXI is creating smart glasses. This new invention aims to provide clear vision at various distances, getting rid of the need for bifocals (双光眼镜). Indeed, this new development could fix main problems with bifocals. Bifocals have separate areas for near and far sight, forcing users to move their heads to see clearly and offering a smaller field of view. IXI’s method provides a clear view at all distances without such actions. This advancement represents a major leap forward from earlier attempts. While not the first of their kind, they mark a significant improvement. More than ten years ago, a company named Adlens made glasses that could be manually changed by the wearer to match their vision needs. However, this was a one-time setting. IXI’s glasses are different. They are made to keep adjusting constantly and automatically according to where the wearer is looking. The battery inside is designed to last for two days and can be charged at night. The company also hopes the glasses will accommodate many different face shapes. The key technology relies on a special material called liquid crystals (晶体) in the lenses (镜片). Niko Eiden, the company leader, says, these crystals can be repositioned electrically, allowing the lenses to be freely adjusted. A built-in eye-tracker and a system that uses light to measure distance work together to determine the distance of an object and adjust the lenses accordingly. This adjustment occurs in just 0.2 seconds, faster than the human eyes’ natural focusing speed. Even with this exciting technology, there are still problems to solve before the glasses can be sold. There are strict medical rules for vision correction products. Designers also need to fit a battery without making the glasses heavy. What’s more, additional real-world testing is needed for activities like driving. Fortunately, for safety, if the system stops working, the wearer can still look through the top part of the lenses. 24．Who would benefit most directly from this technology? A．People losing their glasses frequently. B．People caring about the weight of glasses. C．People relying on bifocals for vision correction. D．People mainly working in the dark environments. 25．How do IXI’s glasses differ from Adlens’ earlier product? A．IXI’s glasses are much cheaper for users. B．IXI’s glasses needn’t be charged anymore. C．IXI’s glasses adjust automatically and continuously. D．IXI’s glasses use a much more common material. 26．Which two parts work together to determine object distance? A．The lenses and the safety-related design. B．The liquid crystals and the built-in battery. C．The liquid crystals and the eye-tracker. D．The eye-tracker and the light-based system. 27．What will IXI most probably do next? A．Do more practical tests and meet demanding medical rules. B．Increase adjustment speed and reduce production cost. C．Replace liquid crystals and add more safety functions. D．Promote the glasses to international consumer markets. C Green roofs are no longer merely eco-friendly architectural features that enhance urban landscapes and contribute to cleaner, healthier cities. A recent study shows a promising new function: they can block an estimated 97.5% of microplastics from rainwater. This positions green roofs as a strategic opportunity for the initial interception of atmospheric pollutants, offering valuable insights for future microplastic pollution management strategies. Also known as living roofs, green roofs are vegetated systems integrated into building structures, with designs varying by climate, and purpose. Their history spans from ancient Persia and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon to Scandinavian sod roofs. However, it was in 1980s Germany that a research-driven revival (复兴) took place, leading to modern “Building Integrated Vegetation” systems. The benefits of green roofs are diverse. They provide heat regulation, enhance urban biodiversity, manage stormwater, reduce flood risk, offer sound insulation (隔音), and create recreational or food production spaces. Moreover, they deliver both physical and mental health benefits to nearby residents and workers. Previous research has also highlighted their role in reducing energy costs and clearing airborne pollutants. A Tongji University study reveals green roofs can intercept most airborne microplastics. In simulated tests using soil and plants, 66%-92% of microplastic particles were trapped in the soil, with plants capturing the rest. While increased rainfall improved retention, fibers were harder to capture than fragments (碎片). This shows green roofs’ potential in reducing urban microplastic pollution. However, the study acknowledges limitations. Results are based on controlled conditions and may not represent all green roofs, which perform differently across climates and seasons. Moreover, green roofs themselves may age and degrade, potentially producing new microplastics over time. Thus, they are not a “set it and forget it” solution. Despite these uncertainties, the potential is significant. The researchers advocate for large-scale field studies to refine their findings. They maintain that expanding green roofs on a city or regional scale could cost-effectively reduce atmospheric microplastic pollution and support sustainable development. As they conclude, green roofs can play a valuable role in easing urban microplastic pollution and inform future environmental management strategies. 28．What is a newly discovered function of green roofs? A．Reducing urban noise pollution. B．Enhancing urban food production. C．Improving building energy efficiency. D．Blocking microplastics from rainwater. 29．What can be inferred about the effectiveness of green roofs in capturing microplastics? A．It is higher during dry seasons. B．It is unaffected by rainfall intensity. C．It varies with weather and location. D．It is consistent across all climates. 30．What is a potential long-term concern regarding green roofs? A．They may increase urban temperatures. B．They could become a source of microplastics. C．They might reduce urban biodiversity. D．They will require no further maintenance. 31．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．Green Roofs: A Tool Against Microplastics B．Microplastic Pollution: A New Threat C．Green Roofs: A Historical Review D．Building Design: Past and Future D In February 2004, Ben Hammersley, a British journalist, noticed a new kind of digital media: “downloadable radio” produced by amateurs or public broadcasters. Hammersley suggested a few names for it. Fortunately, “audioblogging” and “GuerillaMedia” did not catch on. But a third did: podcasting, a combination of “iPod” and “broadcasting”. At a conference the next year, Steve Jobs, Apple’s late boss, asked how many people in the audience had heard of podcasting. Not a single person raised their hand. But 20 years later, podcasts are mainstream. Around 43% of American internet users and 30% of Britons listen to at least one a month and podcasting has turned anyone with a microphone into a talk show host or hostess. The trend came shortly after the birth of the iPhone which was released in 2007. The first standalone podcast apps came out between 2010 and 2012. Since then, tech companies and investors rushed in. For example, Spotify, which was always hungry for new customers and free audio content, has invested $1 billion in podcasting since 2018. But in 2024, the music stopped. Although podcasting was predicted to rise, advertisers and investors realized that they knew relatively little about how many people had actually listened to podcasts: “Downloads”, the standard industry measurement for engagement, did not always equate to listening. Podcasters were struggling to turn a profit. Spotify cut 200 podcasting jobs and others followed suit. What does the future hold? Some think the future of podcasting lies in video. Many podcasts, including a talk show hosted by Joe Rogan, the most popular podcast globally, now employ video to increase their audience. Betting that some people want visual entertainment while listening, Spotify started supporting video podcasts in 2020. “As trust in traditional media has fallen, podcasts appear more credible and reliable,” writes David Dowling in his new book Podcast Journalism. “Instead of formal interviews, listeners get casual conversations. Instead of news measured in minutes, listeners are led through whole investigations over hours.” 32．Why is Steve Jobs mentioned in paragraph 2? A．To stress the popularity of iPhones. B．To explain how podcasting was created. C．To highlight the influence of iPods. D．To show podcasting was not widely used then. 33．What do the underlined words “the music stopped” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A．The best time came to an end. B．Spotify stopped podcasting music. C．The audience disliked podcasting. D．Podcasters started turning to videos. 34．Which is gaining popularity in the 2020s? A．GuerillaMedia. B．Video podcasts. C．Audioblogging. D．Downloadable radios. 35．What does David Dowling think of podcasts? A．They are usually formal. B．They are outdated. C．They are more trustworthy. D．They are too long. 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。 The UK, Finland, Germany, and Sweden are consistently the top performers in European tech ecosystems.

Wilson sat focused at his workstation. With steady hands, he carefully connected the final wire of the robotic arm with the remoter and uploaded his code. With the remoter, Wilson tried to control the robotic arm beside his desk. Finally, the arm came to life, smoothly picking up a small ball as planned. At the sight of it, Wilson exchanged a high-five with his classmate Peter, who made a successful attempt as well. Around them, students were rewriting the code, adjusting their robotic arms, testing their functions and celebrating their progress. Mr. Hurd wandered between the desks, offering tips and encouragement. When he reached Wilson and Peter, he nodded with a satisfied smile. “Impressive,” he said. Wilson and Peter’s faces lit up at the praise. Seeing their proud smiles, Mr. Hurd nodded approvingly and said, “You’ve done a remarkable job with your robotic arms, but what can this arm help in real life?” After school, lost in Mr. Hurd’s question, Wilson unconsciously took a different route home, one he hadn’t adopted for years. As he approached the lake, he froze in disbelief, shocked by what he saw. The once-clear water was now dark and polluted, with bottles and other rubbish piling up along the bank. He couldn’t believe his eyes. The lake used to shine like silver under the morning sun, and butterflies danced above flowers while families laid out picnic blankets on the grassy banks. Wilson remembered those mornings clearly, especially the one when his grandfather said, “This lake raised us. One day, it’ll be your turn to take care of it.” Sitting on a rock by the shore, Wilson stared at the rubbish in front of him. “How did something so beautiful end up like this? What could I do to help it?” he thought. Then, suddenly, an idea hit him. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 The next morning, Wilson told Peter his thoughts. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After a month, they tested their new design near the lake. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页 共4页 ◎ 第2页 共4页 第1页 共4页 ◎ 第2页 共4页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年高二选择性必修第三册英语 单元测试卷 Unit9·提升卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：120分钟，满分：150分） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 做题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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．How does Emily sound now?

Try one or more of these plant experiments for fun and learning. *Color carnations (康乃馨) Fill a glass with water and color the water. Add a white carnation stalk (茎) and watch the plant become colorful as it “drinks” the colored water. This is a great, short experiment to show how plants take in water. *Plant root vegetables Find out how root vegetables form underground by planting them in a clear container. First, fill the bottom of the container with small stones. Next, add potting soil and plant rot vegetable seeds, trying carrots or onions, evenly. Keep the soil wet and enjoy watching the rot form. Best of all, when the vegetable is done growing, you can eat it! *Study speedy sunflowers Sunflower seeds sprout (发芽) and grow quickly, making this the perfect flower for impatient children. These seeds can be started just about anywhere, even in a paper coffee cup or yogurt container. Kids love seeing the plant push its way out of the soil, wearing the seed’s outer part like a hat! Move your plant to a flower pot after it sprouts to observe the lower as it forms. *Make a grass basket Grass is another seed that grows quickly. Make a living basket by lining a basket with plastic and filling it with potting soil Put grass seeds on top and water them lightly every day. Growing plants is a great way to bring some leaning—and a little sunshine—to your daily life. Try any of these inexpensive garden experiments for a fun project this spring. 21．Which garden experiment will you choose to see how plants “drink” water? A．Color carnations. B．Make a grass basket. C．Plant root vegetables. D．Study speedy sunflowers. 22．What is special about the experiment of “Plant root vegetables”? A．It has strict requirements for temperature. B．It offers you the tasty fruits of your labor. C．It is prefect for impatient kids. D．It is boring to carry on. 23．What do sunflowers and grass have in common? A．They both need little water. B．They both welcome sunshine. C．They both prefer clear containers. D．They both grow very quickly. B A company from Finland called IXI is creating smart glasses. This new invention aims to provide clear vision at various distances, getting rid of the need for bifocals (双光眼镜). Indeed, this new development could fix main problems with bifocals. Bifocals have separate areas for near and far sight, forcing users to move their heads to see clearly and offering a smaller field of view. IXI’s method provides a clear view at all distances without such actions. This advancement represents a major leap forward from earlier attempts. While not the first of their kind, they mark a significant improvement. More than ten years ago, a company named Adlens made glasses that could be manually changed by the wearer to match their vision needs. However, this was a one-time setting. IXI’s glasses are different. They are made to keep adjusting constantly and automatically according to where the wearer is looking.

What’s more, additional real-world testing is needed for activities like driving. Fortunately, for safety, if the system stops working, the wearer can still look through the top part of the lenses. 24．Who would benefit most directly from this technology? A．People losing their glasses frequently. B．People caring about the weight of glasses. C．People relying on bifocals for vision correction. D．People mainly working in the dark environments. 25．How do IXI’s glasses differ from Adlens’ earlier product? A．IXI’s glasses are much cheaper for users. B．IXI’s glasses needn’t be charged anymore. C．IXI’s glasses adjust automatically and continuously. D．IXI’s glasses use a much more common material. 26．Which two parts work together to determine object distance? A．The lenses and the safety-related design. B．The liquid crystals and the built-in battery. C．The liquid crystals and the eye-tracker. D．The eye-tracker and the light-based system. 27．What will IXI most probably do next? A．Do more practical tests and meet demanding medical rules. B．Increase adjustment speed and reduce production cost. C．Replace liquid crystals and add more safety functions. D．Promote the glasses to international consumer markets.

Nowadays, smart watches are becoming increasingly popular among students. Many students wear them to school every day. The main benefit is that they can help students keep track of time and manage their schedules better, which is very useful for busy students. What’s more, some smart watches have health-monitoring functions that can remind students to exercise. However, there are also potential problems. One issue is that students may get distracted by the various apps on the watches during class, which affects their learning. In my opinion, students should use smart watches wisely and only when necessary. 第二节（满分25分） 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。 From Code And Arm To Care And Action In a senior high school, Mr. Hurd’s hands-on workshop was alive-robotic arms clicking and lines of code (代码) flashing on screens. Wilson sat focused at his workstation. With steady hands, he carefully connected the final wire of the robotic arm with the remoter and uploaded his code. With the remoter, Wilson tried to control the robotic arm beside his desk. Finally, the arm came to life, smoothly picking up a small ball as planned. At the sight of it, Wilson exchanged a high-five with his classmate Peter, who made a successful attempt as well. Around them, students were rewriting the code, adjusting their robotic arms, testing their functions and celebrating their progress. Mr. Hurd wandered between the desks, offering tips and encouragement. When he reached Wilson and Peter, he nodded with a satisfied smile. “Impressive,” he said. Wilson and Peter’s faces lit up at the praise. Seeing their proud smiles, Mr. Hurd nodded approvingly and said, “You’ve done a remarkable job with your robotic arms, but what can this arm help in real life?” After school, lost in Mr. Hurd’s question, Wilson unconsciously took a different route home, one he hadn’t adopted for years. As he approached the lake, he froze in disbelief, shocked by what he saw. The once-clear water was now dark and polluted, with bottles and other rubbish piling up along the bank. He couldn’t believe his eyes. The lake used to shine like silver under the morning sun, and butterflies danced above flowers while families laid out picnic blankets on the grassy banks. Wilson remembered those mornings clearly, especially the one when his grandfather said, “This lake raised us. One day, it’ll be your turn to take care of it.” Sitting on a rock by the shore, Wilson stared at the rubbish in front of him. “How did something so beautiful end up like this? What could I do to help it?” he thought. Then, suddenly, an idea hit him. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 The next morning, Wilson told Peter his thoughts. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After a month, they tested their new design near the lake. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【参考范文】 The next morning, Wilson told Peter his thoughts. He described how their robotic arm could help clean the polluted lake. With excitement, Peter quickly grasped the potential. They spent every afternoon in the workshop, where they carefully adjusted the design for cleaning the lake. The arm’s fingers were reshaped to better grasp trash, while new sensors helped identify different types of waste. In the end, their creation was ready for testing. After a month, they tested their new design near the lake. A small group of curious onlookers gathered as the robotic arm extended over the murky water. With precise movements, it successfully retrieved plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and even a submerged bicycle tire. Local residents cheered. When the arm struggled with a particularly heavy object, Wilson quickly adjusted the pressure settings, demonstrating their invention’s adaptability. As the sun set, casting golden light on the cleaner water, Mr. Hurd proudly announced, “This is what technology can do for our environment.” 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Emily, I just got a call from the hospital.
