The storm killed at least 32 people and caused severe damage and flooding. What is a hurricane? Hurricanes are powerful storms that form over the northern Atlantic Ocean and the northeast Pacific, with winds of at least 74 mph. They form when warm, moist air rises from the ocean, causing surrounding cooler air to swirl in. There are five categories of hurricane, ranging from 1 to 5 in severity, with Category 5 (winds≥156 mph) causing disastrous damage that forces people to leave their homes. Which other countries were affected? After hitting Jamaica, Hurricane Melissa weakened to a Category 3 and moved to Cuba. It also affected the Bahamas, Bermuda, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic. No deaths have been reported in Cuba but 43 people died in Haiti and at least 2 died in the Dominican Republic. Nearly six million people across the Caribbean were affected. How did people help out? The UN World Food Programme delivered food kits to 1,500 people, with 2,000 more underway. However, the storm blocked roads and railways in some areas, posing great challenges to aid delivery. Several European countries sent support. Jamaica’s Prime Minister said “recovery will take time”, but added “the government is working to restore normalcy quickly”. 1. What is the minimum wind speed of a hurricane? A. 39 mph. B. 74 mph. C. 156 mph. D. 185 mph. 2. Which country suffered the most deaths in the hurricane? A. Jamaica. B. Cuba. C. Haiti. D. The Dominican Republic. 3. What made it difficult to help the affected areas? A. Slow clean-up process. B. Insufficient international aid. C. Damaged transport system. D. Changeable weather patterns. B Rachel Cooke was a journalist who wrote about almost any topic with admirable insights. Yet she repeatedly returned to two core subjects which owed as much to her grandmother as to her Oxford education. One was the pleasure of food, explored in her column The Observer. Her love of eating traced back to her grandmother, Grammy Goodson’s kitchen genius. Cooke’s food writing embraced everything from a humble bacon sandwich to an elegant souffle. The other everlasting theme was the lives of women who braved all challenges. Her 2013 book, Her Brilliant Career, recovered ten pioneering female stories from the 1950s, described by critic Victoria Gray as “a vivid, insightful, affectionate page-turner”. Cooke also edited The Virago Book of Friendship, exploring female friendship through the works of over 100 women writers. As a cultural polymath (博学家), Cooke wrote books and art reviews, and served as a TV critic. She was also a celebrated interviewer, winning “Interviewer of the Year” at the British Press Awards in 2012. Born in Sheffield, in northern England in 1968, Cooke spent several childhood years in Israel after her father taught at Tel Aviv University. She later wrote sharply about the cultural division between northern and southern England, reflecting that she still “understood the world from the viewpoint of the north”. Her colleague Robin Morgan recalled her fearlessness and humour — whether dressed as a film star for a premiere (首映) or wearing odd outfits on the Internet to document public reactions. He compared her to Victoria Wood in her ability to “find humour in the ordinary”. Even after she was diagnosed with cancer, Cooke continued to write with humor and jokes. “I’m a writer: for me everything is material,” she noted. Rachel Cooke passed away in 2023, leaving a legacy of courage, curiosity and fascinating writing. 4. What were the two main themes in Cooke’s works? A. Diverse recipes and TV criticism. B. Delicious food and tough women. C. Oxford learning and her grandma. D. Northern culture and female friendship. 5. What can we learn about Cooke’s life experiences from the passage? A. She spoke up for women’s equal rights. B. She won a national award for interviews. C. She spent most of her childhood in Israel. D. She learned to write about food from her grandma. 6. What do Cooke’s words imply in the last paragraph? A. Writing is in her blood. B. Health is second to none. C. Personal stories matter most. D. Humor can defeat illnesses. 7. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To praise the use of humor in literary writing. B. To stress family’s crucial influence on career. C. To promote books about extraordinary women. D. To introduce a distinguished journalist and writer. C Scientists have made a breakthrough in vision restoration by inserting tiny electronic chips into the back of patients’ eyes. The chips measure just two millimetres wide — about the thickness of a grain of rice. A trial involved 38 patients with an eye disease called age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It mostly affects older people and makes the centre of their vision unclear. About 600,000 people in the UK have AMD. The trial took place at 17 hospitals in five European countries, including the UK. The patients had a type of AMD called “dry AMD”, which damages cells at the back of the eyes that detect light. Those cells transform light into electrical signals for the brain to process vision. When the cells are damaged, people can’t see properly. Currently, there is no cure. The tiny “bionic” chips can give people back some sight. Bionic means a man-made object that acts as a body part. The patients get a pair of glasses with a built-in video camera and a small pocket sized black box that processes the data. When the patients wear the glasses and look at something, the camera captures images and sends the data to the black box, which makes the images clearer. By using infrared signals (红外信号), the information is sent wirelessly to the chip beneath the patients’ retina (视网膜). This chip relays signals through the optic nerve to the brain, which requires some training to understand the images they see. Patients can only see in black and white, but it has greatly elevated the lives of those treated. Seventy-year-old Sheila Irvine was one patient who took part in the trial. She is registered as blind, but now can read books and do crosswords. “It is amazing,” she said in an interview. “I am one happy bunny.” “Blind patients are actually able to have meaningful central vision restoration, which has never been done before,” noted Mahi Mugit, an associate professor at University College London, commenting on the trial’s outcomes. 8. What is the effect of “dry AMD”? A. It results in complete vision loss. B. It mainly impacts young adults. C. It blocks any signal to the brain. D. It harms light-detecting function. 9. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A. How the entire system works. B. Why infrared signals are used. C. When patients train their brains. D. What makes up the electronic chip. 10. What does the underlined word “elevated” in paragraph 6 probably mean? A. Restricted. B. Disturbed. C. Extended. D. Improved. 11. What is Mahi Mugit’s attitude towards the new device? A. Indifferent. B. Doubtful. C. Optimistic. D. Critical. D For many years, scientists have believed that modern humans split off (分化) from their earlier ancestors between 500,000 and 700,000 years ago. After reexamining and digitally reconstructing a broken skull (颅骨) found in China, however, researchers are challenging this belief. They now think modern humans may trace back to more than a million years ago. Homo sapiens (modern humans) share a common ancestor with Neanderthals and Denisovans, two species of early humans with large brains. At some point in the past, these three species split off from one another, and Homo sapiens are the only ones that did not go extinct. Figuring out exactly when the species split off has been difficult. The skull, Yunxian 2, was first found in 1990 in central China and is about a million years old. Yunxian 2 was partly damaged, but based on its age, scientists decided it belonged to a species called Homo erectus, one of the first human ancestors to walk on two legs. For the new study, a team of scientists in China and the UK used high-resolution 3D scanning and computer modeling to virtually rebuild Yunxian 2. The final model they created had a larger brain case (the part of the skull that holds the brain) and a narrower space between the eye sockets than Homo erectus. This led the team to conclude that Yunxian 2 was not Homo erectus. Instead, it belonged to a group of early human ancestors called Homo longi, which included the Denisovans. Using Yunxian 2 as a reference point, the scientists proposed a new Homo family tree and determined that the Denisovans were the extinct human species that was most closely related to Homo sapiens. This, they said, meant that if the Denisovans split off at least a million years ago, so did Homo sapiens — about 400,000 years earlier than previously thought. Scientists who were not involved in the study expressed skepticism about its findings. But Chris Stringer, an anthropologist (人类学家) and an author of the study, said he and his colleagues would continue their research and would work to gather more evidence to support their new theory. 12. Why are three human species mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To compare their brain sizes. B. To list all human ancestors. C. To explain a research challenge. D. To show their living regions. 13. How did the researchers reassess the Yunxian 2 skull? A. By creating a virtual model. B. By analyzing the soil layers. C. By restoring the broken pieces. D. By discussing it with other specialists. 14. What did the new study find according to the passage? A. Homo longi is the earliest human ancestor. B. Homo sapiens split off earlier than thought. C. Yunxian 2 was confirmed as part of Homo erectus. D. Neanderthals are loosely linked to Homo sapiens. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. New Technology Reconstructs Ancient Fossils B. Scientists Argue about the Human Family Tree C. The Denisovan Link: Our Closest Ancient Relative D. The Discovery of a Skull: Rewriting Human Origins 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 With colder weather coming, it’s important that everyone has the items they need to stay warm, from long-sleeve shirts to coats and gloves. ____16____ This is an event where people drop off clothes they have outgrown or no longer wear, so those clothes can be distributed to people who need them.

Kenzie, the salon owner’s daughter, had lived there during college rent-free, but once she graduated, she moved in with her three dogs. However, the salon owner, Penny, wouldn’t allow pets in the apartment: “Just think of what those women would think if they saw a dog running through the salon, Kenzie. They’d never trust the cleanliness of the business again.” That is what Penny told her daughter. So after her daughter Kenzie moved out, finding a new renter became a challenge. Many people had filled out application forms hoping to rent Penny’s house, and Penny asked around about all the applicants. Sarah Johnston wouldn’t be a good fit because she smoked too much, and Penny couldn’t have that smell affecting business. Jeremiah von Camp had dealt with too many clients. Jessie Sinclair was a huge environmentalist and wouldn’t approve of the chemicals salons use. Penny wasn’t even sure why she’d applied. One day, Penny got a call from a woman named Patrisha Jerguson. Patrisha was retired and seemed perfect — no pets, no smoking, and she was quiet. Penny quickly accepted her application and helped her move in. After spending some time together, Patrisha and Penny became friends, sharing tea and stories. But things took a turn one Monday when Penny’s employee April called in a panic. Patrisha had wandered into the salon and started doing a customer’s hair. When the staff tried to stop her , Patrisha got upset, saying only “Ms. Jane” could tell her what to do. Penny rushed over and found Patrisha sweeping the floor, thinking she was still at work. Penny realized Patrisha was losing her memory. She called Patrisha’s daughter, Leigh, who came and took her mother back to Chicago. Patrisha was confused and sad, but Penny comforted her, promising they would still talk on the phone. 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。 After Patrisha left, Penny always recalled the days she spent with Patrisha. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Several months later, a familiar figure appeared at the salon’s door. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 绝密★启用前 高三年级上学期综合练习英语试卷 试卷共8页，47小题，满分120分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号等填写在答题卡指定位置上。 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. 考生必须保持答题卡的整洁。考试结束后，请将答题卡交回。 第二部分 阅读 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A 【1~3题答案】 【答案】1.

The apartment above the salon seemed so quiet without their laughter and stories. Penny missed their conversations and the warmth Patrisha brought to the place. She spent many evenings alone, recalling their time together. Penny also worried about Patrisha’s well-being in Chicago. She often found herself staring at the phone, hoping for a call from Patrisha or her daughter Leigh. The salon felt emptier without the friendly face who had become such a part of their lives. Several months later, a familiar figure appeared at the salon’s door. Penny looked up in surprise and saw Patrisha standing there, looking a little pale but with a smile on her face. “Penny,” she said softly, “I missed you.” Penny rushed over to embrace her friend. “I didn’t think I’d see you again,” Penny said, tears in her eyes. Patrisha explained that her daughter had brought her back for a short visit. Over the next few days, Patrisha spent time with Penny and the salon staff, sharing stories and laughter once more. Penny realized that true friendship could bridge even the gaps of time and memory. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
