His owners, Alyssa Fox and Kris Bauer, however, believed he still had a future. When Scout arrived at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital on August 20, his condition looked very serious. Imaging soon revealed injuries in both his neck and lower back — an especially dangerous combination. “He couldn’t stand at all, which typically indicates a neck injury,” said Leanne Jankelunas, a neurology resident. “But his physical responses pointed to problems in his lower spine. We realized we were dealing with multiple trauma sites.” The team chose to stabilize Scout’s lower spine with titanium implants during surgery on August 21, while avoiding surgery on his neck. Any mistake there could affect his breathing or worsen the injury. Instead, Scout was fitted with a custom-made support device that had to be changed weekly for eight weeks. Each change required careful teamwork. “We couldn’t fully put Scout to sleep,” Jankelunas explained. “If that injury moved at all, it unfortunately could cause him to pass away.” Recovery did not depend on medicine alone. At home, Fox and Bauer rearranged their lives, sleeping on the living room floor for two months. Every three hours, they carried Scout outside. “We’d stand him up and repeat ‘strong legs, strong legs,’” Bauer said. They even took him to social events, determined to keep him connected to the world. On September 26, Fox sat in her yard and called Scout from 20 feet away. “He looked at me, gathered himself, and walked over like it was the most natural thing in the world,” she said. The moment, captured on video, later brought tears in the exam room. In late October, Scout was declared “neurologically normal”. Today, he can run, climb stairs, and play fetch again — proof of what teamwork, technology, and steady care can achieve together. 4. Which word best describes Scout’s injuries? A. Severe. B. Common. C. Manageable. D. Temporarily. 5. Why did the team avoid neck surgery? A. It couldn’t get Scout fully recovered. B. It carried serious risks. C. It showed limited benefits. D. It required special equipment. 6. How did the owners help Scout recover at home? A. By providing constant support. B. By following medical orders. C. By encouraging social contact. D. By recording his progress. 7. What does Scout’s recovery ultimately prove? A. Advanced surgery saves lives. B. Technology outweighs care. C. Patience overcomes limitations. D. Combined efforts work miracles. C Cooking and sewing are no longer common parts of school education. However, at a youth summer camp in California, these practical skills were brought back through an unusual form of learning — one that connected young students with senior citizens. Throughout July, children attended a four-week camp at Olive Community Services in Fullerton, a nonprofit organization that provides programs and support for older adults. The idea for the camp came from a teenager. Leena Albinali, a 14-year-old who lives with her grandmother, founded the Golden Connections Club to help young people learn from older generations while also reducing loneliness among seniors. What began as monthly shared lunches gradually developed into a summer camp for students aged 8 to 14. During the program, seniors taught what the Associated Press described as “lost skills”, including embroidery (刺绣), card making, clay jewelry design, Instant Pot cooking, and fruit bouquet making. Shameem Syed, a volunteer who helped teach several classes, said she felt both “excited” and “very honored” by the students’ interest. “I was overwhelmed by the kindness and respect they showed,” she said. While these skills felt simple to the seniors, Syed explained that teaching them made older adults feel valued and needed. Another volunteer, Sister Haqiqah Abdul-Rahim, a mother of 8 and grandmother of 16, said the emotional connection mattered most to her. “Just being there was heartfelt,” she wrote. “It felt like nurturing.” Beyond technical skills, the lessons also shared cultural knowledge. In cooking classes, students encountered unfamiliar ingredients such as lemongrass, ginger, and turmeric. “Their eyes were wide open — like, ‘Wow,’” Syed recalled. The camp benefited both generations. One student even chose the Golden Connections Club over another camp. Encouraged by the success, Olive Community Services is now considering monthly programs and future camps. As Syed noted, the experience offered seniors “hope and a purpose”, while helping ease the sense of solitude many older adults still feel — even when surrounded by family. 8. Why was the Golden Connections Club established? A. To teach practical skills to the young. B. To organize summer camps for children. C. To bridge generations for mutual benefit. D. To support nonprofit community services. 9 How did the camp affect the elderly? A. It made them feel respected and valued. B. It helped them learn new technical skills. C. It allowed them to share cultural recipes. D. It reduced their family responsibilities. 10. What does the underlined word “solitude” in the last paragraph mean? A. Loneliness. B. Confusion. C. Tiredness. D. Pressure. 11. What would be a suitable title for the text? A. Lost Skills Taught at a Summer Camp. B. A Club Uniting the Young and the Old. C. The Importance of Practical Education. D. How to Care for the Elderly in Community. D More shoppers are choosing Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) this holiday season. On Cyber Monday alone, consumers financed over $1 billion in online purchases using this option, a record according to Adobe Analytics. By the end of the season, the total is expected to reach $20.2 billion, up 11% from last year. BNPL allows shoppers to buy goods instantly through service providers, and pay over time. Many loans are interest-free for a limited period and require no long-term commitment. For people with little or no credit history, BNPL can make large or unexpected purchases more manageable. However, it also carries risks. Missed payments can be sent to debt collectors and reported to credit bureaus (局), which may harm credit scores. A 2025 survey by a loan company found that 41% of BNPL users had missed a payment in the past year. Experts emphasize that BNPL should only be used if you can afford to repay the full amount. Lisa Gill, an investigative reporter at Consumer Reports, warns that being approved for a BNPL loan does not mean the lender believes you can repay it. “It’s not an indicator of your creditworthiness. It just shows they are willing to take you on your word,” she says. Felix Aidala, an analyst at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, adds that using BNPL to buy something you cannot otherwise afford is much riskier. People who rely on BNPL tend to be financially fragile, and borrowing beyond one’s means can quickly lead to debt problems. Even though BNPL can make payments seem smaller and more convenient, failing to plan can have serious consequences. Automatic payments, multiple loans, and missed deadlines may result in overdraft fees or lower credit scores. Responsible use means only borrowing what you can repay on time, keeping track of payments, and avoiding purchases you cannot afford. Used carefully, BNPL can help manage expenses, but misuse can quickly turn convenience into financial trouble. 12. What is a potential risk of using BNPL services? A. It limits purchases for new shoppers B. It may damage users’ credit. C. It charges high interest from the start. D. It requires a long-term credit commitment. 13. What do experts say about BNPL approval? A. It reflects one’s true repayment ability. B. It is recommended for large purchases C. It encourages responsible spending habits. D. It is based on trust rather than proof. 14. What is the key to using BNPL responsibly? A. Choosing reputable lending companies. B. Making use of interest-free periods. C. Focusing on holiday season purchases. D. Spending within one’s repayment. 15. What does the author finally suggest about BNPL use? A. It benefits those with stable incomes. B. It simplifies personal budgeting. C. It requires strict financial discipline. D. It should replace traditional credit. 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。 Learning how to communicate with your teens is essential to maintaining a healthy relationship. ____16____.

As a newcomer in this new work environment, I was still in the process of getting familiar with all the rules of the business. I knew that most clothes in the store were enjoying a 15% discount, which translated to being sold at 85% of their original prices. However, because of my inexperience and quick judgment, I wrongly believed that every single item in the store fell under this discount kind. One sunny day, an elderly lady with a kind look entered the store. She carefully chose two pieces of clothing that were, in fact, at their full retail prices. It wasn’t marked on the clothing labels that these items were not fit for a discount either. She got close to me with a questioning look in her eyes and asked, “Young man, are these 15% off?” Without pausing to think or double-check, I nodded eagerly and replied with a confident smile, “Yes, ma’am. They are.” The old lady made her way to the checkout counter. But as the cashier began to ring up her purchases, she realized that she was being charged the full price for the clothes. She raised her voice and started expressing her dissatisfaction. “You told me these were on sale! Why am I being charged the full amount? This is unacceptable! I must insist on seeing your manager and getting a 15% discount.” At first, when the elderly lady protested at the checkout about not getting the promised discount, I firmly believed it was the cashier’s mistake. I even shot the cashier a blaming look, thinking she had been wrong. But as the situation went on, I decided to ask other staff. After a brief conversation with them, they explained the store’s discount rules. To my great embarrassment, I then realized that it was actually my fault for misleading the customer. What should I do? 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 A wave of embarrassment and guilt washed over me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The store manager, who had heard the noise, hurried over. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高三英语检测 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 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。 例: How much is the shirt?

With the college entrance examination approaching, students debate whether to improve weak subjects or strengthen strong ones. In my opinion, we should focus on our weak subjects. Weak subjects are the main obstacles to high total scores. Low marks in them will drag down our overall grades, no matter how well we do in strong subjects. Moreover, it is easier to make rapid progress in weak areas with targeted practice, which helps increase our total points efficiently. Thus, prioritizing weak subjects is a practical way to achieve better exam results. 第二节 (满分25分) 【47题答案】 【答案】 A wave of embarrassment and guilt washed over me. I stood there, rooted to the spot, feeling a deep sense of shame. My hands were clammy, and my heart was pounding with anxiety. I knew I had to take responsibility for my mistake. Summoning up my courage, I walked over to the elderly lady, my head bowed in shame. “Ma’am,” I said in a low, remorseful voice, “I made a terrible mistake. I misinformed you about the discount. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience caused.” I offered to pay the difference from my own pocket as a way to make amends. The store manager, who had heard the noise, hurried over. I quickly explained the whole situation to the manager, admitting my fault without hesitation. The manager listened attentively, his expression serious. Then, he turned to the elderly lady and said, “Madam, we sincerely apologize for this oversight. To make up for it, we will give you the 15% discount as our staff promised. We value your patronage and hope this won't affect your impression of our store.” The elderly lady's anger subsided, and she nodded in acceptance. I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders, and I learned a valuable lesson about being more careful and thorough at work. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
