Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way. It was a hot afteroon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie's basement.As I opened the basement door,before us lay the biggest room,full of amazing things like guns,dolls,and old clothes.I ran downstairs,and spotted a red steel can.It was paint.I looked beyond it and there lay even more paint in bright colors like purple,orange,blue and green. "Stephanie,I just found us a project for the day.Get some paintbrushes.We are fixing to paint."She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work.We gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard.There on the road in front of my house, we painted big stripes (of colors across the pavement.Stripe by stripe,our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow.It was fantastic! The sun was starting to sink.I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car.It was my mother.I couldn't wait to show her my masterpiece.The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from the look on my mother's face,I could tell that I was in deep trouble. My mother shut the car door and walked towards me.Her eyes glaring,she shouted,"What in the world were you thinking?I understood when you made castles out of leaves,and climbed the neighbors' trees,but this!Come inside right now!"I stood there glaring back at her for a minute,angry because she had insulted（侮辱)my art., "Now go clean it up!"Mother and I began cleaning the road.Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my beautiful rainbow tum into black cement. Though years have now passed,I still wonder where my rainbow has gone.I wonder if,maybe when I get older,I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away.I guess we all need some sort of rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful. 高三英语试题第3页（共8页） 24.What can be inferred about the children's summer life at the beginning? A.They were ofen lel at home,.这宽子学)C( B.Their parents took them to playgrounds C.They attended summer school programs. D.They had strict schedules set by their parents. 25.How did the narrator feel when she first saw her mother's car approaching? A.Anxious and fearful. B.Thrilled and proud. C.Guilty and regretful. D.Surprised and confused. 26.The underlined word "rainbow"in the last paragraph refers to A.something imaginative and.fun B.the stripes on the pavement C.the rainbow in the sky D.important lessons learned in childhood 27.It can be learned from the passage that parents should A.encourage children to paint B.value friendship among children C.protect rather than destroy children's dreams D.discover the hidden talent in children c Not long ago,I believed there were only two kinds of viewers:those who switched on subtitles only when the dialogue was unclear,and the unappreciative philistines(附庸风雅者)who left them on for no reason.I insisted that words at the bottom of the screen stole the purity of film art-the faint tremble of an actor's lip or the perfect pause before a punchline. Recent numbers,however,show that I am defending an empty castle.A 2021 survey found that 80%of viewers aged 18-25 "always"or "often"use subtitles.What makes the young so absorbed in reading while watching?The cliche blames a short attention span,but the real answer is more complicated.Growing up with phones in hand,Gen-Z treat television as only one panel in a multimedia mosaic().The survey shows that 80%of them "double-screen",texting or scrolling while the show runs.Subtitles act like a quick download:a glance gives the line,the eye returns to the phone,and no plot is lost.Efficiency wins over pure absorption. Social media has pushed the habit further.On TikTok or Instagram,subtitles appear by default(); many creators even design videos around rapid-.fire(接二连三的)text that is impossible to switch off. Algorithms()reward this choice:clips with open subtitles engage more viewers'attention and are more likely to crop up in searches.Subtitles have turned from an accessibility tool into a business strategy. The change is not always welcome.Comedies lose timing when the joke is visible before it is spoken; subtle acting is flattened into text.My flatmate,once annoyed by words on the screen,now leaves them on even for films."I don't notice I'm reading,"she said with a shrug,"but I can't tumn them off either."Studies show the practice improves recall of plot details,yet there is no evidence that it sharpens reading skills. Perhaps the deeper shift is in our purpose:we watch to keep up,not to sink in.After work,we cuddle up on the sofa longing not for beauty or surprise,but for the quiet satisfaction of "comprehension". Television was meant to be an escape;now it is another task we efficiently finish. 28.Why do Gen-Z viewers use subtitles while watching TV? A.They have short attention spans. i441日 B.They want to sharpen their reading skills. C.They operate multiple functions meanwhile. 0)1m17 D.They find dialogues unclear. 1i. 高三英语试题第4页（共8页） 29.Why do videos with subtitles enjoy greater popularity on social media? A.They are more accessible for viewers. B.Algorithms favor them and promote them more. C.Rapid-fire subtitles appear by default. D.They enhance the function of algorithms. 30.What is the author's attitude towards the widespread use of subtitles? A.Supportive. B.Critical. C.Neutral. D.Indifferent. 31.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Why We Should All Turn Off Subtitles B.How Subtitles Ruin Film Art C.From Aid to Necessity:The Subtitle Revolution D.The Business of Subtitles:How Algorithms Drive Viewer Habits D Persistent sleeplessness is more than next-day tiredness-it may quietly speed up brain aging.A Wednesday report in Neurology followed 2,750 mentally healthy seniors (average age 70)for 5.6 years. Annual tests of memory,reasoning and brain scans showed that 14%of those with chronic insomnia later developed mild cognitive obstacle or dementia,compared with only 10 of sound sleepers.In other words, the insomniac brain had "aged"an extra 3.5 years. Lead author Diego Z.Carvalho,a sleep-medicine expert at the Mayo Clinic,stresses that the study shows association,not causation."Poor sleep could be an early warning of decline rather than the trigger," he says.Still,the dose matters:within the insomnia group,people who slept the fewest hours had the worst scores and the greatest loss of brain tissue. The findings fit a wave of recent research.A 2021 JAMA Neurology paper found that sleeping less than six or more than nine hours predicted weaker memory and mood problems.Yale neurologist Santiago Clocchiatti-Tuozzo,not involved in the new work,says future public-health strategies may need to protect both sleep quality and duration. Why would lost nights hurt the mind?During deep sleep the brain's glymphatic systemthink of it as a nightly street-cleaner-washes away beta-amyloid and other toxins ()If the sweep is cut short,waste builds up,blocking signalling pathways.Karin G.Johnson,a sleep neurologist,adds that the cleanse follows circadian rhythms(昼夜节律)，so mistimed sleep is almost as bad as short sleep.She argues for policy shifts such as later school bells to give teens-tomorrow's seniors-enough dark hours.For now,experts offer three evidence-based tips:keep a consistent bedtime,expose yourself to morning sunlight,and remove phones from the bedroom.None guarantee perfect rest,but together they tilt()the odds toward a sharper, slower-aging brain.The night,it seems,is not wasted time;it is daily maintenance we cannot skip. 32.According to the study in Neurology,what is the main finding about persistent sleeplessness? A.It directly causes dementia. B.It only leads to next-day tiredness. C.It is not related to brain aging. D.It may speed up brain aging. 33.What does the underlined phrase "the dose matters"in Para.2 most likely mean in the context? A.The amount of medicine taken is crucial. B.The severity of sleep loss affects the outcome. C.The type of insomnia treatment is important. D.The duration of the study was significant. 34.From Karin G.Johnson's argument,we can infer that she probably believes A.teenagers need a nightly street-cleaner during deep sleep B.current school schedules conflict with teenagers'natural sleep rhythms 高三英语试题第5页（共8页） C.the glymphatic system does not work in teenagers D.teenagers hardly suffer from mistimed sleep and short sleep 35.What is the main purpose of the passage? A.To introduce a new cure for insomnia. B.To explain the study that proves sleeplessness causes dementia. C.To discuss the potential link between poor sleep and accelerated brain aging. D.To criticize public health strategies for ignoring sleep problems. 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Positive psychology,a relatively new branch of psychology,focuses on the strengths and virtues that enable individuals and communities to thrive.36 Its core aim is to promote well-being and happiness rather than merely treating mental illness.Research in this field has revealed several practices that can significantly enhance life satisfaction. 37 For instance,regularly writing down things one is grateful for has been linked to increased optimism and better sleep.Similarly,acts of kindness,whether small or large,not only benefit recipients but also boost the giver's sense of purpose and social connection.This creates a positive feedback loop that reinforces prosocial(亲社会的)behavior. Another key area is the cultivation of positive relationships.Humans are inherently social beings,and the quality of our relationships deeply affects our psychological health.38 Studies show that strong social support can buffer against stress and is correlated with longer,healthier lives. Meanwhile,many people tend to overlook the process.Actually,setting and working toward meaningful goals is also central to positive psychology.It emphasizes that goals aligned with personal values,rather than external pressures,foster a deeper sense of purpose.Cherishing the process of striving itself contributes to growth and life satisfaction.39 While some may dismiss these practices as too simple,they are grounded in rigorous and cautious scientific research.40 By intentionally applying these principles,people can build resilience()and discover greater joy in their daily lives,demonstrating that well-being is indeed a skill that can be developed. This empowering perspective puts the tools for a happier life within everyone's reach. A.These activities shift focus from what is lacking to what is abundant. 二 B.Critics argue that it ignores the complexity of human suffering. C.Therefore,it encourages investing time and effort in nurturing connections. D.Contrary to traditional psychology,it does not diagnose or cure disorders. 9164出 E.It emphasizes the journey as much as the destination,fostering growth and engagement. F.Actually,its methods have proven effective in diverse cultures and age groups. G.Moreover,physical exercise is recommended as a complementary strategy for mental health. 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四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选 项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 It was a cool October evening.Excitement and family members filled the hall.I was only a 7-year-old girl,but I was the center of 41.Finally,after weeks of preparation,I would show off all my hard work in a dance of performance.Everything would be 42-so I thought.I waited backstage 43 in my black tights with a golden belt.In a loud and clear voice,the master of ceremonies 44 that my class was next.

Fortunately,my community was full of opportunities to earn extra money.Many elderly residents were definitely in need of assistance,and I decided to take on a part-time job to earn what I needed.I chose to ask Mrs.Hudson,the oldest person I knew.Well over eighty,she could no longer manage her garden, which was filled with flowers,overgrown grass,and a few struggling tomato plants.Summoning my courage, I knocked on her door.Much to my relief,she welcomed the help. It was an extremely hot summer day.My first task was to weed-kneeling in the soil,pulling out one stubborn weed after another.The work was tedious and exhausting,and before long,fatigue set in.But each time I thought of that album,my energy returned."If only I had a portable fan,"Imuttered,wiping sweat from my brow. After hours of labor,Mrs.Hudson handed me ten dollars.It was less than I'd hoped,but enough. Clutching the money,I hurried toward the supermarket,already imagining the moment I'd hold the album in my hands-a reward earned entirely by my own effort. I was practically singing as I walked.Then,across the road,I caught sight of my mother at work.Id always known she was a saleswoman,but I'd never actually seen her on the job until that day. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；4 24, 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My mother was handing out leaflets()to passers-by.
