It was apparent that his medium was not the brush but the pen.He first began writing poetry at the age of seventeen,and two short works were published in The Dublin University Review in 1885 Yeats's childhood and young manhood were spent between London,Sligo and Dublin,and each of these places contributed something to his poetic development.His devotion to Ireland was so intense that he returned to live in the wildest of its counties,to integrate himself with the problems of his own land,and express a life that had never been given full expression.From the countryside around Sligo he got something much more earthly-a knowledge of the life of the peasantry and of their folklore(民俗) Heavily influenced by the works of Shelley,he wrote in a conventional fashion about what every seventeen-year-old boy worries about.But as he matured as a poet,he turned to the writings on the Iish folkloric subjects that he would become the most famous for.He explored history and community through a complex blend )of landscape and fantasy that inspired the next generation of Modernist poets. He learned to see his poetry as a contribution to a rejuvenated Irish culture.With the cooperation of a few others,Yeats helped to establish not only the Gaelic League but also the Irish Literary Theater.He also re-created folklore and perfected a poetry of music. Yeats was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923,and remains to this day one of Ireland's best-selling and most recognized poetic figures. 24.What can be inferred about Yeats from the first paragraph? A.He showed an interest in poetry. B.He was left out of the art school. C.He majored in literature at college. D.He was homeschooled by his mother. 25.Why did Yeats return to the Irish countryside? A.To get closer to nature. B.To gather writing materials C.To experience peasants'life. D.To recall the days of his youth. 26.Yeats became best-known as a poet for the writing of A.his worries as a teenager B.Shelley's influence on him C.the Irish folklore subjects D.his desire for a fantasy world 27.What is the text mainly about? A.An established Irish poet. B.The features of Irish folklore C.The revival of Irish poetry D.A briefintroduction to Irish literature. 0 A huge fish in the Mekong River thought to be extinct has been spotted three times in recent 高三英语试卷 第4页共10页 years."The giant salmon carp(大马哈鱼)is like a symbol of the Mekong region,”said Chheana Chhut,a researcher at the Inland Fisheries Research and Development Institute in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. With the last confirmed sighting in 2005,"this species of fish seems to have disappeared from the Mekong region for decades,"said Chheana,a co-author of a study published online Monday in the journal Biological Conservation that documents the recent sightings. Since 2017,biologists tracking migratory fish species in Cambodia have developed close relationships with local fishing communities,asking them to report any unusual sightings. That's how the three giant salmon carp found in the Mekong River and a branch in Cambodia between 2020 and 2023 came to the attention of researchers "I was really surprised and excited to see the real fish for the first time,"said Bunyeth Chan,a study co-author and researcher at Svay Rieng University in Cambodia. Researchers say the sightings give them new hope for the species."This rediscovery is very exciting,positive news,"said Zeb Hogan,a fish biologist at the University of Nevada,Reno,who was part of the team. But the situation of the fish also spotlights the perils facing all migratory species in the Mekong, including industrial pollution and overfishing.More than 700 dams have been built along the river and its branches and there are very few functional "fish passages"to help species pass barriers,said Brian Eyler,director of the Southeast Asia Program at the Stimson Center in Washington,who wasn't involved in the research. The biologists said they hope that working with local communities in Thailand and Laos will enable them to confirm if the fish still swims in other stretches of the Mekong River. 28.What happened in 2017? A.The biologists connected with local fishermen B.The giant carp began to migrate to Cambodia C.Bunyeth found the last giant carp in person. D.Researchers began to track migratory fish 29.What can we infer about local fishing communities? A.They have spotted the fish three times. B.They have studied the fish for decades. C.They make profits from the cooperation. D.They contribute to the finding of the fish. 30.What does the underlined word perils"in paragraph 6 probably mean? A.Opportunities. B.Advantages. C.Dangers. D.Uncertainties. 31.What is the main idea of the text? A.A new species found along the Mekong. B.The rediscovery of the giant salmon carp. C.Efforts of researchers to protect wildlife. D.Effects of human activities on ecosystem. 高三英语试卷 第5页共10页 D About20 million people die each year due to cardiovascular(心血管的)disease.Luckily,a team of researchers from the University of Nottingham in the UK have developed a machine-learning algorithm (that can predict your likelihood of having a heart attack or stroke as well as any doctor. The American Heart Association (AHA)has developed a series of guidelines for estimating a patient's cardiovascular risk which is based on eight factors including age,cholesterol level and blood pressure.On average,this system correctly guesses a person's risk at a rate of 72.8 percent. That's pretty accurate,but Stephen Weng and his team set about to make it better.They built four computer learning algorithms,and then fed them data from 378,256 patients in the United Kingdom The systems first used around 295,267 records to generate their internal predictive models.Then they used the remaining records to test and refine them. The algorithms results significantly outperformed the AHA guidelines,ranging from 74.5 to 76.4 percent accuracy..The neural（t神经的)network algorithm tested highest,.beating the existing guidelines by 7.6 percent while raising 1.6 percent fewer false alarms. Out of the 83,000 patient set of test records,this system could have saved 355 extra lives,In addition,the AI systems identified a number of risk factors and predictors not covered in the existing guidelines,like severe mental illness and the consumption of oral corticosteroids(皮质激素类) There are a lot of interactions in biological systems,"Weng told Science."That's the reality of the human body.What computer science allows us to do is explore those associations." This is where aI can transform preventative medicine.By using vast datasets to uncover complex,non-linear risk interactions beyond human analysis,these algorithms can enable earlier, more precise interventions.This represents a significant step toward a future where data-driven predictions fundamentally reshape proactive healthcare,moving beyond standardized checklists to personalized risk assessment. 32.How did the researchers get the findings? A.By following the guidelines ofAHA B.By testing 20 million people C.By asking doctors for opinions D.By analyzing patient data. 33.What is an advantage of the network algorithm compared with the previous system? A.Higher accuracy. B.Simpler operation. C.Wider applicability.D.Lower cost. 34.What can be implied in Weng's words in paragraph 5? A.Human bodies are too complex to study. B.AI can help explore body interactions C.Doctors know a little about our bodies. D.There are many algorithms about medicine 35.What is the author's attitude towards AI's effect on preventative medicine? A.Critical. B.Doubtful. C.Indifferent. D.Positive. 高三英语试卷 第6页共10页 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂 黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Sometimes,determining which projects you should devote your time and energy to first takes energy you don't have to spare.36,you still need to figure out how to prioritize them.Try the 3-3-3 method. This technique comes from Oliver Burkeman,author of Four Thousand Weeks:Time Management for Mortals.37.First,devote three hours to deep work on your most important project.Next,complete three other urgent tasks that don't require three hours of focus.Finally,do three maintenance"tasks,like cleaning,answering emails,or scheduling other work. 38.Jumping into it first means you'll be fresh,focused,and more likely to be able to focus on a task without getting distracted.Keep those three hours free of emails,texts,chit-chat,or other smaller duties,to the best of your ability. Deep work produces major productivity,so you'll get a lot accomplished if you commit to it, but you can't stay in that mindset forever.You'll wear yourself out after about three hours. 39- Finally,your maintenance tasks give you a chance to get things done while giving your brain a rest.This technique is similar to "eating the frog",or doing your hardest task first thing.40,or you can use it to put finishing touches on whatever you were working on during those three hours of intense focus. You can use this technique to manage seven different tasks of varying urgency levels.Just be sure to stick with the process,starting with the big lift and finishing off with the little jobs that keep it all flowing. A.So go to three other smaller tasks to stay productive B.But even when you know what tasks need to be done C.He advocates planning each workday around a 3-3-3 model D.Even if you pay attention to how many resources you will need E.He'll feel the same sense of relief when moving onto lesser tasks F.Use your maintenance time to prepare for the following day's work G.What distinguishes this method from others is the first three hours'deep work 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的 最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Robin Hanbury-Tenison,a lifelong adventurer,celebrated his 89th birthday with an inspiring challenge.He 41 22 miles to raise funds for the restoration of rainforest,and felt pleased to get out and do alright. 高三英语试卷 第7页共10页 Despite the 42 that come with age,Hanbury-Tenison completed his journey with determination,raising f64,030 from supporters.His efforts were 43 as a significant achievement,in which he felt a deep sense of 44.His arms remained strong,thanks to the training,though he 45 noted that his legs had taken a permanent vacation from running.

For Dang,Tai Chi's philosophy of harmony and adaptability reaches far beyond cultural 61 (boundary)and is popular with many people.62(influence)by Taoist principles of yin and yang and the unity of nature and humanity,it restores a sense of balance that modern life frequently overlooks Jake Pinnick,from Illinois,a 16th-generation student of the Wudang martial arts tradition, agrees that Tai Chi represents much more than a set of physical forms."It's 63 (essential)a way of perceiving the world,"he said."The idea of Tai Chi 64(use)to guide every aspect of human experience." "We all perceive life differently,yet through the same senses,"Pinnick noted."Through the practice of Tai Chi,we have the patience 65 (guide)our breath,steady our steps,and learn to bring peace to both mind and body." 第四部分写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节G满分15分) 假定你是李华，收到朋友David的来信。信中David向你诉说了自己的困扰：近日考试没 考好。请用英文给该朋友写一封回信，内容要点如下： 1.表示理解并给予安慰； 2.提出建议并说明理由。 注意：1.词数80左右： 2.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear David, Yours, Li Hua 高三英语试卷 第9页共10页 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。 One of my teachers once asked my class what our favorite memory was.My teacher asked for the moment in which you fell the best,you fell that you had the world in the palms of your hand." Some described amazing awards;other described winning a toumament.My answer,however, invited giggles()and hesitant smiles.Why?Because I felt the best when I first learned how to ride my bike at thirteen.I didn't mind my classmates'stares and mockery ()because I knew there was more to the story. My elder sister and I shared a typical sisterly relationship:we couldn't stand each other.I was an annoyance to her.Any sort of conversation we had usually ended up fighting.Gradually,I started to learn to be totally indifferent,perhaps the silent treatment would get more approval.I was wrong. We soon fell into a sad pattern.I avoided her,and she ignored me.Deep inside,it hurt.So that was how it was between us.She was only a sister in name.I truly believed that we would forever be apart, two housemates without conversation,two strangers without warmth. I still remember the day I learned to ride a bike.I had received the bike that Christmas,which was great,until I realized that I had no idea how to ride it.My mom had long abandoned any attempt to teach me.I had proven to be a frustrating student.I took it upon myself to learn,a little bit each day.It was no different.I was coming to the end of my daily one-hour torture().I was so frustrated that I threw my bike aside and began to cry. 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。 I guess that was what caused my sister to come outside. "I made it,"I shouted with excitement. 高三英语试卷 第10页共10页
