B It’s a familiar tale these days: A Canadian quits their exhausting day job to pursue a dream, like opening a coffee shop, and finds freedom and joy. My story is similar, with a twist. It begins in 2016, during the last semester of my philosophy undergraduate, when I decided to become a writer after being inspired by modern and classic works I was reading. I earned a journalism master’s degree from New York University and worked at Toronto Life magazine. I had some success, interviewing important figures and even writing for The New York Times. But behind the scenes, I was constantly stressed and struggling to make rent. Then things changed. Last summer, a friend invited me to coach a small group of 11-year-old volleyball players. I always loved volleyball but had pushed it aside because I thought it couldn’t be a career. I jumped at the chance. Every morning, I trained the kids on passing, setting and serving. I had gone from interviewing people to playing volleyball with kids in the park. Surprisingly, I felt alive again. Volleyball reawakened a spirit of playfulness in me. I didn’t have to sit behind a computer all day. The parents paid me fairly and on time, and my work could not be replaced by artificial intelligence. So I went all in. I found gym space, started running my own clinics and created an organization called Super Volley. Things are going decently well so far. Like many small businesses, I’m at the mercy of a rising cost of living, a harsh economy and consumers who might devote their Saturdays to something else. But I’ll keep going because this volleyball thing rewards me in ways that go well beyond money or journalistic fame. 4. Why does the author mention “a familiar tale” at the beginning? A. To criticize people who give up stable jobs. B. To suggest that opening a coffee shop is a good idea. C. To introduce his own story of chasing what he loves. D To warn readers not to follow others’ dream blindly. 5. What was the problem with the author’s writing career? A. He didn’t have a chance to do meaningful work. B. He had no interest in interviewing public figures. C. He felt journalism was less serious than philosophy. D. He was under great pressure and financially troubled. 6. What is the advantage of the author’s new career according to paragraph 4? A. It allows him to make a fortune. B. It cannot be replaced by technology. C. It offers more creative opportunities. D. It brings him more fame and public attention. 7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The author is still unsure if coaching can be a long-term career. B. The author is realistic and finds deep fulfillment in what he does. C. The author occasionally regrets leaving his previous writing career. D. The author is confident that his volleyball business will expand soon. C A study presented at the European Respiratory Society Congress in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, found that eating fruit may reduce the effects of air pollution on lung function. Led by Pimpika Kaewsri, a PhD student from the University of Leicester’s Centre for Environmental Health and Sustainability in the UK, the research addresses a pressing issue: over 90% of the global population is exposed to air pollution exceeding WHO guidelines, and many studies link higher pollution exposure to reduced lung function. Notably, a healthy diet — especially one high in fruit and vegetables — is tied to better lung function, so Kaewsri’s team set out to explore if diet or specific food groups could lower pollution’s harm to lung function. Using data from around 200, 000 participants in the UK Biobank, the team compared participants’ dietary patterns (including fruit, vegetable, and whole-grain intake) with their lung function (measured by FEV1, the volume of air breathed in per second) and their exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5, tiny particles ≤2.5 micrometers from sources like vehicle exhaust and industrial processes). They also took account of other factors such as age, height, and socioeconomic status. The results showed that for every 5μg/m³ increase in PM2.5 exposure, women with low fruit intake saw a 78.1ml drop in FEV1, while those with high fruit intake had only a 57.5ml reduction. Kaewsri explained that the study confirmed a healthy diet relates to better lung function in both men and women, regardless of pollution exposure. Specifically, women who ate four or more fruit portions daily had smaller lung function declines linked to pollution — likely due to natural antioxidants (抗氧化剂) in fruit, which may ease oxidative stress from PM2.5, cancelling out some of pollution’s harm. She also noted that men in the study generally ate less fruit than women, which might explain why this effect against pollution was only observed in women. Kaewsri plans to extend the research by exploring whether diet can influence changes in lung function over time. 8. What did the study led by Kaewsri aim to find out? A. What food groups are considered to be a healthy diet. B. Whether diet reduces pollution’s damage to lung function. C. How over 90% of people are exposed to higher air pollution. D. Whether air pollution is closely linked to reduced lung function. 9. How does the team get the results? A. By examining the antioxidant content in different fruits. B By increasing the participants’ intake of healthy food. C. By carrying out some experiments in the lab. D. By analyzing previous statistics from the UK. 10. What can be inferred about men in the study? A. They often ate more fruit than women. B. They showed no fruit’s protective effect. C. They were exposed to more air pollution. D. They had better lung function than women. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Fruit Intake: A Surprising Key to Healthier Lungs B. Air Pollution: Endless Harm to Lung Function C. Balanced Diet: A Vital Influence on Human Health D. Lung Health: Largely Dependent on Fruit Intake D Although photovoltaic (光伏电池) cells and wind turbines (涡轮机) were invented almost 150 years ago, they still generate only 7% of the world’s electricity today. This might appear to show limited progress. Nevertheless, the situation is changing rapidly: over the past decade, these renewable technologies have grown faster than any other energy source, as their costs continue to fall and make them competitive with fossil fuels. BP, an energy enterprise, expects renewables to account for half of the growth in global energy supply over the next 20 years. It is no longer hard to believe that the world is entering an era of clean, unlimited and cheap power, where society could rely less on polluting fossil fuels and more on sustainable energy sources. However, there is a $20 trillion hitch. In the coming decades, huge amounts of investment will be needed to replace old polluting power plants, upgrade outdated infrastructure (基础设施), and improve the power lines that deliver electricity reliably to homes and businesses. Normally investors enjoy putting their money into electricity because it brings reliable returns. Yet green energy has a dirty secret. The more it is used, the more it drives down the price of electricity from all sources. That makes it difficult to manage the transition to a carbon-free future, when many kinds of power generation, both clean and dirty, need to remain profitable. Unless the market is fixed, subsidies (补贴) to the industry will only grow. Policymakers are beginning to see this problem as a reason to slow down the use of renewable energy. In some parts of Europe and China, investment in renewables is falling because subsidies have been reduced. However, the answer is not to use less wind and solar power, but to rethink how clean energy is priced so that it can be used more effectively, maintain profitability for energy providers, and contribute fully to a sustainable, low-carbon energy future. 12. What do we know about renewable energy according to the first paragraph? A. Its costs are still higher than fossil fuels. B. It faces no financial or market challenges. C. It generates most of the world’s electricity. D. It is growing fastest and becoming cheaper. 13. What does the underlined word “hitch” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Delay. B. Problem. C. Plan. D. Advantage. 14. Why does the transition to a carbon-free future become difficult? A. Green energy increases the overall cost of electricity generation. B. Falling prices make many types of power generation unprofitable. C. Investors are no longer putting their money into the electricity industry. D. Subsidies for green energy are no longer available from the government. 15. How can green energy be used more effectively? A. By updating its generating technologies. B. By increasing subsidies for green energy. C. By setting reasonable prices for clean energy. D. By encouraging more investment in the market. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The number of cars on UK roads is growing. Finding places for people to park their vehicles is often difficult. Problems include old, narrow roads with no parking bays; the increasing size of cars such as SUVs (cars that are generally bigger and taller than a standard car); and families often having more than one vehicle. ____16____ Therefore, some people have turned to parking their cars on the pavement (人行道). ____17____ It is designed as a dedicated zone for pedestrians (行人), allowing individuals to travel to school, work, or shops. Is it ever OK to park on a pavement? Some think people need cars and they have to park somewhere. It would be great if everyone could travel by public transport but that isn’t always practical. ____18____ For most people, a monthly season ticket to a major city can cost hundreds of pounds. Others argue parking on the pavement is not fair. It means people might have to walk out into busy roads to get past. ____19____ For people with disabilities or blindness, this risk is even greater. In fact, parking on pavements is simply not acceptable as it prioritizes driver convenience over pedestrian safety. The long-term solution lies with urban designers. Increasing the supply of parking must be a top priority for them. ____20____ Additionally, improving reliable and affordable public transport would reduce our reliance on cars. Our streets need to be designed for everyone, not just for vehicles. A. This can probably cause accidents. B. Safety is the main concern for this. C. The issues have made finding somewhere to park a car tricky. D. They should make proper schedules to limit pavement parking. E. For example, they must invest in building more multi-storey car parks. F. The primary function of a pavement is to provide a safe path for people. G. Lots of places aren’t served by public transport and fares can be quite expensive. 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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 For years after we married, my husband worked at a local garage (修理厂).

It was a tradition she had held for ten years — a casual get-together with friends, simple food, and lots of laughter. However, this year, things felt different. Her daughter, Liz, walked in, looking hesitant. “Mum,” she said. “I know you haven’t seen the guest list, but our new neighbor, Marjory, is holding a huge party tonight, too.” Marjory had just moved into the big house next door. “It’s a French-themed fancy party,” Liz explained. “She has hired professional caterers (餐饮服务), and she’s even prepared a colorful pinata (彩罐) and a collection of sparkling masks. She wants to make a big impression on the village.” Jane felt a wave of anxiety. “So, she’s trying to steal my guests?” Jane tried to sound lighthearted, but she was worried. Would her friends prefer Marjory’s luxury event to her simple pancakes? The evening arrived. To Jane’s surprise and relief, the doorbell rang. Bob and other familiar friends flooded in, filling the kitchen with chatter. “We dropped in on the big house first,” Bob explained, grabbing a warm pancake. “But it was a disaster. The caterers didn’t turn up!” Bob continued, laughing, “The house was huge but empty. Marjory was standing there in a fancy purple dress, looking panic-stricken. So we made our excuses and came here. Your pancakes are much better anyway!” Jane smiled, feeling a weight lift off her shoulders. Her tradition was safe. The kitchen was warm and lively, a sharp contrast to the silence next door. Curious, Jane glanced out the kitchen window, which faced Marjory’s dining room. Through the glass, the scene was heartbreakingly clear. Marjory was sitting all alone at a long table set for twenty people. Her shoulders were shaking, and she was burying her face in her hands, surrounded by untouched decorations. Bob followed Jane’s gaze and shook his head. “Well, that’s depressing,” he said, reaching for the switch of the window blind. “Let’s just close this so we don’t have to look at it and ruin our mood.” 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。 But suddenly, Jane stopped him. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ten minutes later, Marjory arrived, carrying a big bag. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 襄阳四中2026届高三上学期质量检测(六)英语试题 注意事项： 1．答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试题卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2．选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3．非选择题的作答：用签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4．考试结束后，请将本试题卷和答题卡一并上交。 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?

My story is similar, with a twist. It begins in 2016, during the last semester of my philosophy undergraduate, when I decided to become a writer after being inspired by modern and classic works I was reading. I earned a journalism master’s degree from New York University and worked at Toronto Life magazine. I had some success, interviewing important figures and even writing for The New York Times. But behind the scenes, I was constantly stressed and struggling to make rent. Then things changed. Last summer, a friend invited me to coach a small group of 11-year-old volleyball players. I always loved volleyball but had pushed it aside because I thought it couldn’t be a career. I jumped at the chance. Every morning, I trained the kids on passing, setting and serving. I had gone from interviewing people to playing volleyball with kids in the park. Surprisingly, I felt alive again. Volleyball reawakened a spirit of playfulness in me. I didn’t have to sit behind a computer all day. The parents paid me fairly and on time, and my work could not be replaced by artificial intelligence. So I went all in. I found gym space, started running my own clinics and created an organization called Super Volley. Things are going decently well so far. Like many small businesses, I’m at the mercy of a rising cost of living, a harsh economy and consumers who might devote their Saturdays to something else. But I’ll keep going because this volleyball thing rewards me in ways that go well beyond money or journalistic fame. 4. Why does the author mention “a familiar tale” at the beginning? A. To criticize people who give up stable jobs. B. To suggest that opening a coffee shop is a good idea. C. To introduce his own story of chasing what he loves. D. To warn readers not to follow others’ dream blindly. 5. What was the problem with the author’s writing career? A. He didn’t have a chance to do meaningful work. B. He had no interest in interviewing public figures. C. He felt journalism was less serious than philosophy. D. He was under great pressure and financially troubled. 6. What is the advantage of the author’s new career according to paragraph 4? A. It allows him to make a fortune. B. It cannot be replaced by technology. C. It offers more creative opportunities. D. It brings him more fame and public attention. 7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The author is still unsure if coaching can be a long-term career. B. The author is realistic and finds deep fulfillment in what he does. C. The author occasionally regrets leaving his previous writing career. D. The author is confident that his volleyball business will expand soon. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7.

My story is similar, with a twist.(如今有个大家耳熟能详的故事：一个加拿大人辞掉令人身心俱疲的日常工作，去追寻梦想——比如开一家咖啡店，最终收获了自由与快乐。我的故事与之相仿，却又有着别样的转折。)”可知，作者开头提到“熟悉的故事”是为了引出自己追逐热爱之事的经历。故选C。 5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But behind the scenes, I was constantly stressed and struggling to make rent.(但在光鲜的背后，我一直承受着巨大的压力，连房租都难以支付。)”可知，作者的写作事业面临的问题是压力巨大且经济困难。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The parents paid me fairly and on time, and my work could not be replaced by artificial intelligence.(家长们支付的报酬公平且准时，而且我的工作不会被人工智能取代。)”可知，作者新职业的优势是无法被技术替代。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Like many small businesses, I’m at the mercy of a rising cost of living, a harsh economy and consumers who might devote their Saturdays to something else. But I’ll keep going because this volleyball thing rewards me in ways that go well beyond money or journalistic fame.(和许多小企业一样，我受到生活成本上涨、经济低迷以及可能把周六时间花在其他事情上的消费者的影响。但我会继续坚持下去，因为排球事业给我的回报远远超出了金钱或新闻界的名声。)”可知，作者既认清现实，又在自己的事业中找到了深层满足感。故选B。 C A study presented at the European Respiratory Society Congress in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, found that eating fruit may reduce the effects of air pollution on lung function. Led by Pimpika Kaewsri, a PhD student from the University of Leicester’s Centre for Environmental Health and Sustainability in the UK, the research addresses a pressing issue: over 90% of the global population is exposed to air pollution exceeding WHO guidelines, and many studies link higher pollution exposure to reduced lung function. Notably, a healthy diet — especially one high in fruit and vegetables — is tied to better lung function, so Kaewsri’s team set out to explore if diet or specific food groups could lower pollution’s harm to lung function. Using data from around 200, 000 participants in the UK Biobank, the team compared participants’ dietary patterns (including fruit, vegetable, and whole-grain intake) with their lung function (measured by FEV1, the volume of air breathed in per second) and their exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5, tiny particles ≤2.5 micrometers from sources like vehicle exhaust and industrial processes). They also took account of other factors such as age, height, and socioeconomic status. The results showed that for every 5μg/m³ increase in PM2.5 exposure, women with low fruit intake saw a 78.1ml drop in FEV1, while those with high fruit intake had only a 57.5ml reduction. Kaewsri explained that the study confirmed a healthy diet relates to better lung function in both men and women, regardless of pollution exposure. Specifically, women who ate four or more fruit portions daily had smaller lung function declines linked to pollution — likely due to natural antioxidants (抗氧化剂) in fruit, which may ease oxidative stress from PM2.5, cancelling out some of pollution’s harm. She also noted that men in the study generally ate less fruit than women, which might explain why this effect against pollution was only observed in women. Kaewsri plans to extend the research by exploring whether diet can influence changes in lung function over time. 8. What did the study led by Kaewsri aim to find out? A. What food groups are considered to be a healthy diet. B. Whether diet reduces pollution’s damage to lung function. C. How over 90% of people are exposed to higher air pollution. D. Whether air pollution is closely linked to reduced lung function. 9. How does the team get the results? A. By examining the antioxidant content in different fruits. B. By increasing the participants’ intake of healthy food. C. By carrying out some experiments in the lab. D. By analyzing previous statistics from the UK. 10. What can be inferred about men in the study? A. They often ate more fruit than women. B. They showed no fruit’s protective effect. C. They were exposed to more air pollution. D. They had better lung function than women. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Fruit Intake: A Surprising Key to Healthier Lungs B. Air Pollution: Endless Harm to Lung Function C. Balanced Diet: A Vital Influence on Human Health D. Lung Health: Largely Dependent on Fruit Intake 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍一项研究发现多吃水果或能减轻空气污染对肺功能的损害，同时阐述研究过程、结果及相关分析。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Notably, a healthy diet — especially one high in fruit and vegetables — is tied to better lung function, so Kaewsri’s team set out to explore if diet or specific food groups could lower pollution’s harm to lung function. (值得注意的是，健康的饮食——尤其是富含水果和蔬菜的饮食——与更好的肺功能相关，因此凯维西里的团队着手探究饮食或特定食物类别是否能够降低污染对肺功能的损害。)”可知，该研究的目的是查明饮食是否能减轻污染对肺功能的破坏。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Using data from around 200, 000 participants in the UK Biobank, the team compared participants’ dietary patterns (including fruit, vegetable, and whole-grain intake) with their lung function (measured by FEV1, the volume of air breathed in per second) and their exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5, tiny particles ≤2.5 micrometers from sources like vehicle exhaust and industrial processes). They also took account of other factors such as age, height, and socioeconomic status. (该研究团队利用英国生物银行中约 20 万名参与者的数据，对比了参与者的饮食模式（包括水果、蔬菜和全谷物的摄入量）、肺功能（以第一秒用力呼气容积即 FEV1 为衡量指标，指每秒吸入的空气体积）以及他们对细颗粒物的暴露情况（即 PM2.5，指直径≤2.5 微米的微小颗粒物，来源于汽车尾气、工业生产等）。研究团队还考虑了年龄、身高和社会经济地位等其他因素。)”可知，研究团队是通过分析英国已有的相关数据得出研究结果的。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“She also noted that men in the study generally ate less fruit than women, which might explain why this effect against pollution was only observed in women. (她还指出，参与研究的男性通常比女性吃的水果更少，这或许能解释为什么这种对抗污染的效果只在女性身上被观察到。)”可知，研究中的男性没有显现出水果对肺功能的保护作用。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段中的“A study presented at the European Respiratory Society Congress in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, found that eating fruit may reduce the effects of air pollution on lung function. (在荷兰阿姆斯特丹举行的欧洲呼吸学会大会上公布的一项研究发现，吃水果或许能减轻空气污染对肺功能的影响。)”可知，全文围绕“吃水果有助于减轻空气污染对肺功能的损害”这一核心发现展开，因此“Fruit Intake: A Surprising Key to Healthier Lungs(水果摄入量：打造健康肺部的意外关键)”最适合作为文章标题。故选A项。 D Although photovoltaic (光伏电池) cells and wind turbines (涡轮机) were invented almost 150 years ago, they still generate only 7% of the world’s electricity today. This might appear to show limited progress. Nevertheless, the situation is changing rapidly: over the past decade, these renewable technologies have grown faster than any other energy source, as their costs continue to fall and make them competitive with fossil fuels. BP, an energy enterprise, expects renewables to account for half of the growth in global energy supply over the next 20 years. It is no longer hard to believe that the world is entering an era of clean, unlimited and cheap power, where society could rely less on polluting fossil fuels and more on sustainable energy sources. However, there is a $20 trillion hitch. In the coming decades, huge amounts of investment will be needed to replace old polluting power plants, upgrade outdated infrastructure (基础设施), and improve the power lines that deliver electricity reliably to homes and businesses. Normally investors enjoy putting their money into electricity because it brings reliable returns. Yet green energy has a dirty secret. The more it is used, the more it drives down the price of electricity from all sources. That makes it difficult to manage the transition to a carbon-free future, when many kinds of power generation, both clean and dirty, need to remain profitable. Unless the market is fixed, subsidies (补贴) to the industry will only grow. Policymakers are beginning to see this problem as a reason to slow down the use of renewable energy. In some parts of Europe and China, investment in renewables is falling because subsidies have been reduced. However, the answer is not to use less wind and solar power, but to rethink how clean energy is priced so that it can be used more effectively, maintain profitability for energy providers, and contribute fully to a sustainable, low-carbon energy future. 12. What do we know about renewable energy according to the first paragraph? A. Its costs are still higher than fossil fuels. B. It faces no financial or market challenges. C. It generates most of the world’s electricity. D. It is growing fastest and becoming cheaper. 13. What does the underlined word “hitch” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Delay. B. Problem. C. Plan. D. Advantage. 14. Why does the transition to a carbon-free future become difficult? A. Green energy increases the overall cost of electricity generation. B. Falling prices make many types of power generation unprofitable. C. Investors are no longer putting their money into the electricity industry. D. Subsidies for green energy are no longer available from the government. 15. How can green energy be used more effectively? A. By updating its generating technologies. B. By increasing subsidies for green energy. C. By setting reasonable prices for clean energy. D. By encouraging more investment in the market. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍可再生能源发展迅速但面临投资与定价难题，探讨如何通过合理定价推动其可持续发展。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Nevertheless, the situation is changing rapidly: over the past decade, these renewable technologies have grown faster than any other energy source, as their costs continue to fall and make them competitive with fossil fuels. (然而，这种情况正在迅速改变：在过去十年里，这些可再生能源技术的发展速度超过了其他任何能源，其成本持续下降，足以与化石燃料相抗衡)”可知，可再生能源发展速度最快且价格越来越低。故选D项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“In the coming decades, huge amounts of investment will be needed to replace old polluting power plants, upgrade outdated infrastructure (基础设施), and improve the power lines that deliver electricity reliably to homes and businesses. (在未来几十年里，需要大量投资来更换老旧的污染发电厂、升级落后的基础设施，以及改善为家庭和企业稳定供电的输电线)”可知，前文提到可再生能源发展前景向好，后文转而指出需要巨额投资的阻碍，因此“hitch”的意思是“难题、障碍”。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The more it is used, the more it drives down the price of electricity from all sources. That makes it difficult to manage the transition to a carbon-free future, when many kinds of power generation, both clean and dirty, need to remain profitable. (可再生能源使用得越多，就越会拉低所有能源的电价。而向无碳未来转型的过程中，各类发电方式无论清洁与否都需要保持盈利，这就使得转型变得困难)”可知，向无碳未来转型困难的原因是电价下跌导致多种发电方式难以盈利。故选B项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“However, the answer is not to use less wind and solar power, but to rethink how clean energy is priced so that it can be used more effectively, maintain profitability for energy providers, and contribute fully to a sustainable, low-carbon energy future. (然而，解决办法并非减少风能和太阳能的使用，而是重新思考清洁能源的定价方式，使其能得到更高效的利用，同时保障能源供应商的盈利，为可持续的低碳能源未来做出充分贡献)”可知，让清洁能源得到更高效利用的方法是为其制定合理的价格。故选C项。 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The number of cars on UK roads is growing. Finding places for people to park their vehicles is often difficult. Problems include old, narrow roads with no parking bays; the increasing size of cars such as SUVs (cars that are generally bigger and taller than a standard car); and families often having more than one vehicle. ____16____ Therefore, some people have turned to parking their cars on the pavement (人行道). ____17____ It is designed as a dedicated zone for pedestrians (行人), allowing individuals to travel to school, work, or shops. Is it ever OK to park on a pavement? Some think people need cars and they have to park somewhere. It would be great if everyone could travel by public transport but that isn’t always practical. ____18____ For most people, a monthly season ticket to a major city can cost hundreds of pounds. Others argue parking on the pavement is not fair. It means people might have to walk out into busy roads to get past. ____19____ For people with disabilities or blindness, this risk is even greater. In fact, parking on pavements is simply not acceptable as it prioritizes driver convenience over pedestrian safety. The long-term solution lies with urban designers. Increasing the supply of parking must be a top priority for them. ____20____ Additionally, improving reliable and affordable public transport would reduce our reliance on cars. Our streets need to be designed for everyone, not just for vehicles. A. This can probably cause accidents. B Safety is the main concern for this. C. The issues have made finding somewhere to park a car tricky. D. They should make proper schedules to limit pavement parking. E. For example, they must invest in building more multi-storey car parks. F. The primary function of a pavement is to provide a safe path for people. G. Lots of places aren’t served by public transport and fares can be quite expensive. 【答案】16. C 17. F 18. G 19. A 20.

I firmly believe life skills classes are absolutely necessary for students. Initially, these classes fill a gap in traditional education. Subjects like cooking, budgeting, and basic home repairs are rarely taught in regular lessons, but they are essential for independent adult life. For example, learning to manage money helps us avoid financial troubles later. Secondly, life skills boost confidence. Mastering practical tasks, such as sewing a button or fixing a broken lamp, makes us feel capable of handling real-life challenges. In short, life skills classes prepare us for the future beyond exams. Schools should definitely include them in the curriculum. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生以“Are Life Skills Classes Necessary?”为题，给学校英文报投稿，明确表达对“是否应开设生活技能课程”的看法，并说明理由。 【详解】1. 词汇积累 坚定：firmly→strongly 必要的：necessary→essential 提升：boost→enhance 掌握：master→grasp 2. 句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：I firmly believe life skills classes are absolutely necessary for students. 拓展句：I hold a firm belief that life skills classes are absolutely necessary for students. 【点睛】【高分句型1】I firmly believe life skills classes are absolutely necessary for students.（运用了省略连接词that的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】For example, learning to manage money helps us avoid financial troubles later.（运用了动名词短语作主语） 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。 Jane was busy in the kitchen, stirring eggs for her annual “Pancake Day” party. It was a tradition she had held for ten years — a casual get-together with friends, simple food, and lots of laughter. However, this year, things felt different. Her daughter, Liz, walked in, looking hesitant. “Mum,” she said. “I know you haven’t seen the guest list, but our new neighbor, Marjory, is holding a huge party tonight, too.” Marjory had just moved into the big house next door. “It’s a French-themed fancy party,” Liz explained. “She has hired professional caterers (餐饮服务), and she’s even prepared a colorful pinata (彩罐) and a collection of sparkling masks. She wants to make a big impression on the village.” Jane felt a wave of anxiety. “So, she’s trying to steal my guests?” Jane tried to sound lighthearted, but she was worried. Would her friends prefer Marjory’s luxury event to her simple pancakes? The evening arrived. To Jane’s surprise and relief, the doorbell rang. Bob and other familiar friends flooded in, filling the kitchen with chatter. “We dropped in on the big house first,” Bob explained, grabbing a warm pancake. “But it was a disaster. The caterers didn’t turn up!” Bob continued, laughing, “The house was huge but empty. Marjory was standing there in a fancy purple dress, looking panic-stricken. So we made our excuses and came here. Your pancakes are much better anyway!” Jane smiled, feeling a weight lift off her shoulders. Her tradition was safe. The kitchen was warm and lively, a sharp contrast to the silence next door. Curious, Jane glanced out the kitchen window, which faced Marjory’s dining room. Through the glass, the scene was heartbreakingly clear. Marjory was sitting all alone at a long table set for twenty people. Her shoulders were shaking, and she was burying her face in her hands, surrounded by untouched decorations. Bob followed Jane’s gaze and shook his head. “Well, that’s depressing,” he said, reaching for the switch of the window blind. “Let’s just close this so we don’t have to look at it and ruin our mood.” 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。 But suddenly, Jane stopped him. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ten minutes later, Marjory arrived, carrying a big bag. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 范文1 But suddenly, Jane stopped him. “Don’t,” she said softly but firmly. The heartbreaking image of Marjory sitting amidst a ruined celebration while they feasted instantly erased her earlier jealousy. It wasn’t a competition any more; it was just a neighbor in need of kindness. Turning to her daughter, Jane said, “Liz, please go and tell Marjory she is welcome here.” The room fell silent as the guests realized their earlier insensitivity (冷漠). Bob dropped his hand, looking ashamed, while others nodded in agreement, their chatter replaced by a warm sense of shared purpose. Ten minutes later, Marjory arrived, carrying a big bag. She stood hesitantly in the doorway, her glittering purple gown looking out of place in the flour-dusted kitchen. Jane stopped forward to bridge the gap, welcoming her with a beaming smile. Relaxing visibly, Marjory opened her big bag to reveal the colorful pinata and shiny masks, which were quickly distributed among the cheering guests. The evening transformed into a delightful blend of luxury and cozy pancake traditions, proving that shared company mattered far more than perfect catering. 范文2 But suddenly, Jane stopped him. “Don’t close it,” she said softly. She could see how sad Marjory looked, and she knew that no one should spend such an evening alone. Without hesitation, Jane walked to the door, crossed the yard, and knocked gently. When Marjory opened the door with red eyes, Jane smiled and said, “We’d love to have you join us. Our party is small, but it’s full of warmth.” It was clear that Marjory didn’t expect this kindness, but she nodded slowly. Ten minutes later, Marjory arrived, carrying a big bag. She brought her masks and decorations, which made the kitchen look even more colorful. Everyone welcomed her, and soon she was laughing — a sound that hadn’t been heard in her house all night. As she ate her first pancake, she whispered, “Thank you for saving my night.” Jane realized that a simple act of kindness could mean more than any fancy party, which was something her heart would never forget. 【解析】 【导语】本文以“煎饼日派对”为线索展开，讲述了Jane担心新邻居Marjory的奢华派对会抢走自己的客人，却在得知对方派对搞砸后，选择放下嫉妒、邀请邻居加入自己的聚会，最终让两个不同风格的派对融合成一场温馨欢乐的邻里相聚的故事。 【详解】 1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“但就在这时，Jane拦住了他。”可知，第一段可描写Jane看到Marjory独自失落的样子后，放下了之前的嫉妒，决定邀请她加入自己的派对，并得到了客人们的认同。 ②由第二段首句内容“十分钟后，Marjory提着一个大包来了。”可知，第二段可描写Marjory带着彩罐和面具前来，与Jane的客人一同欢乐，原本简单的煎饼派对和奢华的法式元素融合，最终证明陪伴与善意比完美的宴会更重要。 2. 续写线索： 发现邻居窘境——放下嫉妒——主动邀请——邻居加入——派对融合——感悟善意与陪伴的意义 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①抹去：erase /remove/wipe out ②揭露：reveal/expose ③分发：distribute/give out 情绪类 ①羞愧的：ashamed/ embarrassed ②欢乐的：delightful/ joyful 【点睛】【高分句型1】The room fell silent as the guests realized their earlier insensitivity(冷漠).(运用了as引导时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】The evening transformed into a delightful blend of luxury and cozy pancake traditions, proving that shared company mattered far more than perfect catering.(运用了现在分词短语作状语，以及that引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
