At 68, she was a retired tailor with free afternoons and a small and narrow attic (阁楼) filled with leftover fabrics from her old shop. What began as a way to reuse old pieces of cloth soon grew into a heartwarming community treasure. It started with a small cloth cottage, stitched (缝制) from worn cotton and decorated with tiny button windows — materials she’d saved from decades of dressmaking. Each evening, she added more: a mini bakery, a little bridge, and tiny figures. Elowen, an 8-year-old neighbor with a curious mind, often stayed by her attic window, watching quietly with bright eyes. Elowen’s single mother was grateful that Elodie welcomed the girl’s company; the tailor would gently explain her stitching techniques and the stories behind each tiny building. When a nearby preschool learned about the village, they invited Elodie to bring her work for a class show. She hesitated at first but agreed, and soon, little ones were learning about crafts, patience, and storytelling through her cloth creations. Elowen helped Elodie display the village, proudly introducing each detail to the kids. Elowen’s cousin, a part-time photographer, took photos of the village and posted them on a small craft blog. The post gained attention widely, and people began sending Elodie small fabrics — linen from a family farm in Maine, silk from a retired tailor in Vermont. Even a stranger from Oregon, who read the blog, sent her a package of hand-sewn tiny cloth flowers, ideal for decorating the mini buildings. On weekends, Elodie let children help stitch simple cloth pieces, their small fingers guided by her experienced hands, smiles lighting up their faces. Parents noticed their kids growing more attentive and creative, inspired by Elodie’s passion. By her 75th birthday, her attic village had become a local treasure — preschools included visits in their craft lessons, senior centers arranged group tours, and craft lovers came for advice. 4. Why did Elodie create the small cloth cottage? A. To make her attic a local star. B. To repurpose the used offcuts. C. To live a free afternoon life. D. To attract town kids’ company. 5. What lay behind the preschool’s attention to Elodie’s work? A. It was of educational value. B. It encouraged Elowen’s mother. C. It involved a neighbor’s child. D. It was Elowen’s recommendation. 6. What does paragraph 4 reflect? A. The diversity of fabric sources. B. People’s support for her work. C. Bloggers’ love for craft works. D. The growth of the cloth village. 7. What message does the text convey? A. Many hands make light work. B. One is never too old to learn. C. Small things make a big difference. D. Dreams lead to unexpected chances. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了68岁退休裁缝Elodie利用旧布料缝制布村，作品经邻居分享后广受关注，得到众人支持。她还教孩子手工，最终布村成为当地宝藏，温暖了整个社区。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“What began as a way to reuse old pieces of cloth soon grew into a heartwarming community treasure.(起初这只是为了重新利用旧布料而采取的一种方式，但很快便发展成了一个充满温情的社区瑰宝)”可知，埃洛迪建造了这个小型布制小屋是为了重新利用那些用过的边角料。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“She hesitated at first but agreed, and soon, little ones were learning about crafts, patience, and storytelling through her cloth creations.(起初她有些犹豫，但最终还是同意了。很快，孩子们就开始通过她制作的布制品学习手工制作、耐心以及讲故事等技能了)”可知，这所幼儿园会关注埃洛迪的作品是因为这些作品具有教育意义。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Elowen’s cousin, a part-time photographer, took photos of the village and posted them on a small craft blog. The post gained attention widely, and people began sending Elodie small fabrics — linen from a family farm in Maine, silk from a retired tailor in Vermont. Even a stranger from Oregon, who read the blog, sent her a package of hand-sewn tiny cloth flowers, ideal for decorating the mini buildings.(埃洛文的表弟是一位兼职摄影师，他为这个村庄拍摄了照片，并将这些照片发布在了一个小型手工艺品博客上。该帖子引起了广泛关注，人们纷纷向埃洛迪寄来小块布料——来自缅因州一家家庭农场的亚麻布，以及来自佛蒙特州一位退休裁缝处的丝绸。甚至来自俄勒冈州的一个陌生人也读了这个博客，并给她寄来了一个装有手工缝制的小布花的包裹，这些布花非常适合用来装饰那些小型建筑)”可知，第四段反映了人们对她工作的支持。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Elodie never dreamed of becoming a local star. At 68, she was a retired tailor with free afternoons and a small and narrow attic (阁楼) filled with leftover fabrics from her old shop. What began as a way to reuse old pieces of cloth soon grew into a heartwarming community treasure.(埃洛迪从未想过自己会成为当地的明星。68岁的她是一位已退休的裁缝，每天下午都有空闲时间，她的阁楼小而狭窄，里面堆满了她旧店铺剩下的布料。起初这只是为了重新利用旧布料而采取的一种方式，但很快便发展成了一个充满温情的社区瑰宝)”结合文章讲述了68岁退休裁缝Elodie利用旧布料缝制布村，作品经邻居分享后广受关注，得到众人支持。她还教孩子手工，最终布村成为当地宝藏，温暖了整个社区。可知，文章主要说明了微不足道的事情也能产生重大影响。故选C。 C People have become used to living with AI quickly, but AI has raised serious worries about jobs. For if machines outperform people in reading complex legal texts, translating languages or making arguments, won’t those traditional human workers become irrelevant? Yet in reality, this is not the case. Unemployment in the EU is at a historic low of about 6%, half that of a decade ago. In the UK, it’s even lower at 5.1% — the level of the prosperous early 2000s — and in the US, it’s lower, still at 4.4%. It’s happened before. For example, after the first ATM in the world was launched by Barclays in London in 1967, there were fears that staff at high street bank branches would become obsolete. The opposite turned out to be the case. In the US, over the 30-year period of ATM growth, the number of bank tellers actually increased by 10%. ATMs made it cheaper to open bank branches and more communities gained access to financial services. AI will take away some jobs. But just as there has been no immediate AI prosperity when it comes to economic growth, there is no immediate shift in employment. And in 2016, Geoff Hinton, a major figure in the development of AI, recommended that the world “should stop training radiologists (放射科医生)” because robots were getting better than humans at analyzing images. Ten years later, demand for radiologists in the US is at a record high. AI-driven image analysis has improved the role of radiologists, by allowing them to treat a far greater number of patients. On the other hand, many believed universal access to AI assistants with info-processing and communication skills would narrow earning inequality. But recent studies found the opposite: highly skilled professionals benefit most from AI support. In my research with teammates, we found that giving chess players top-quality advice does little to close the gap between the best and the worst because lower ability players were less likely to follow high-quality advice. Perhaps this is AI’s greatest risk: some benefit far more from it than others. 8. What do the statistics in paragraph 1 indicate? A. AI replaces many human traditional jobs. B. Unemployment rates are falling globally. C. Economic growth can rely on AI heavily. D. Technology may generate new positions. 9. What does the underlined word “obsolete” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Perfect. B. Insecure. C. Unnecessary. D. Unwilling. 10. What can we learn about AI’s impact on radiologists? A. AI has replaced radiologists in medical imaging. B. The demand for radiologists has decreased greatly. C. AI helps radiologists treat more patients efficiently. D. Radiologists have lost their professional skills due to AI. 11. What’s the author’s attitude to the view that AI increases workers’ income inequality? A. Unclear. B. Critical. C. Uncertain. D. Approving. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。人们担忧 AI 会导致失业，但当前欧美失业率却处于历史低位。历史与现实表明，AI 未造成大量失业，反而提升部分职业需求。不过，AI 可能加剧收入不平等，这是其最大风险。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Unemployment in the EU is at a historic low of about 6%, half that of a decade ago. In the UK, it’s even lower at 5.1% — the level of the prosperous early 2000s — and in the US, it’s lower, still at 4.4%.(欧盟的失业率处于历史最低点，约为6%，仅为十年前的一半。在英国，失业率更低，为5.1%——这与21世纪初经济繁荣时期的情况相当；而在美国，失业率也更低，仍为4.4%)”可知，第一段中的数据表明技术可能会创造新的工作岗位。故选D。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“For example, after the first ATM in the world was launched by Barclays in London in 1967, there were fears that staff at high street bank branches would become obsolete. (例如，1967年巴克莱银行在伦敦推出了全球第一台自动取款机之后，人们就担心商业银行的营业网点工作人员会变得obsolete.)”可知，人们担心ATM出现后，银行职员会变得多余、不再必要了。故划线词意思是“不必要的”。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“AI-driven image analysis has improved the role of radiologists, by allowing them to treat a far greater number of patients.(基于人工智能的图像分析技术提升了放射科医生的工作效率，使他们能够为更多的患者进行诊疗)”可知，人工智能能帮助放射科医生更高效地诊治更多患者。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But recent studies found the opposite: highly skilled professionals benefit most from AI support.(但最近的研究却发现情况恰恰相反：高技能专业人员从人工智能的支持中受益最多)”可知，作者认同研究结论：AI 确实扩大了收入差距，对这一观点持赞同态度。故选D。 D Researchers at Penn State University found that households using electricity for space and water heating consumed far less energy than those relying on natural gas. Electric heat pumps stood out in particular, with modeled heating energy use intensity nearly four times lower than that of traditional gas-fired power (炉). For the average US home, this difference indicates significant savings potential on energy bills. Homes equipped with central heat pumps showed an average modeled heating energy use of 0.0237 megawatt-hours per square meter, compared to 0.0918 for homes with gas-operated central furnaces. Heat pumps transfer heat rather than generating it, which explains their superior efficiency. According to the US Department of Energy, this approach can reduce electricity use for heating by around 50 percent compared to electric resistance heating like furnaces and baseboard heaters. Gas heating systems don’t fully transform the energy from fuel into usable heat, as some remains unused or escaped through incomplete burning. Electric systems avoid this by not using on-site burning. Homes using electric water heaters also consumed less energy than those using gas, or oil systems, with oil water heaters showing roughly double the energy intensity of electric models. With natural gas still the most common heating fuel nationwide, and electricity second, the findings suggest millions of households could reduce their energy use by switching to heat pumps. The study also discovered more refrigerators and televisions, paired with frequent clothes dryer and dishwasher use, raised household energy use in 39% of states. While these patterns reflect lifestyle choices, appliance (电器) standards and energy labels make it easier to pick efficient models. Replacing older equipment with efficient options when it wears out offers a simple way to reduce demand without changing routines. Besides, researchers found homes generating electricity on-site through solar panels consumed less energy from the grid (电网). Yet only 3.48% of US residences reported using solar electricity, showing adoption remains rare. Wider use of rooftop solar could help households manage energy costs while reducing reliance on centralized grids. 12. How does the author show electric heat pumps’ heating efficiency in paragraph 2? A. By presenting data comparison. B. By clarifying a concept. C. By describing experiments. D. By giving examples. 13. What is one disadvantage of gas heating systems? A. They need constant fuel supply. B. They require frequent maintenance. C. They produce less heat output. D. They lose energy as waste heat. 14. What is one practical suggestion researchers offer for reducing household energy use? A. Mounting more wind energy facilities. B. Upgrading appliances efficiently. C. Reducing appliance use frequency. D. Relying on solar electricity heavily. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. A Comparison of Heating Systems B. Our roles in Energy Consumption C. Roads to Lower Home Energy Use D. Ways to produce Household Energy 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了通过使用电动热泵、升级电器及利用太阳能等方式可有效降低家庭能源消耗。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Homes equipped with central heat pumps showed an average modeled heating energy use of 0.0237 megawatt-hours per square meter, compared to 0.0918 for homes with gas-operated central furnaces.(配备中央热泵的房屋平均模拟供暖能耗为每平方米0.0237兆瓦时，而使用燃气中央炉的房屋为每平方米0.0918兆瓦时。)”可知，作者通过数据对比展示电动热泵的加热效率。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Gas heating systems don’t fully transform the energy from fuel into usable heat, as some remains unused or escaped through incomplete burning.(燃气供暖系统无法将燃料中的能量完全转化为可用热量，因为一部分能量未被利用，或因燃烧不完全而散失。)”可知，燃气供暖系统的缺点是它们会以废热的形式损失能量。故选D。 14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“While these patterns reflect lifestyle choices, appliance (电器) standards and energy labels make it easier to pick efficient models. Replacing older equipment with efficient options when it wears out offers a simple way to reduce demand without changing routines.(虽然这些模式反映了生活方式的选择，但电器标准和能源标签使选择高效型号变得更加容易。当旧设备磨损时，用高效选项替换它们提供了一种在不改变日常习惯的情况下减少需求的简单方法。)”可知，研究人员建议高效升级电器以减少家庭能源使用。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“Researchers at Penn State University found that households using electricity for space and water heating consumed far less energy than those relying on natural gas. Electric heat pumps stood out in particular, with modeled heating energy use intensity nearly four times lower than that of traditional gas-fired power (炉). For the average US home, this difference indicates significant savings potential on energy bills.(宾夕法尼亚州立大学的研究人员发现，使用电力进行空间和水加热的家庭比使用天然气的家庭消耗的能源要少得多。电动热泵尤其突出，其模拟供暖能耗强度几乎是传统燃气供暖的四倍低。对于美国家庭来说，这种差异意味着能源账单上有巨大的节省潜力。)”可知，文章主要讨论了如何降低家庭能源使用，包括使用电动热泵、高效升级电器以及使用太阳能等。因此，最佳标题是“降低家庭能源使用的途径”。故选C。 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。 My wife, Sue, a nurse, had decided at the age of 40 that she actually wanted to be a doctor instead. ____16____ Then, she had to go back and complete the last two years of her secondary education at night school, while still working and raising our three young children. ____17____ Not only did she pass, she did so well in her final exams that she was offered a place at medical school, starting university at the age of 42.

She went down on her knees gently and attempted to reach out for it, only for the dog to step back with soft cries escaping its throat, which made Gina’s heart ache for the helpless animal. Unwilling to leave it all by itself, she hurried to a nearby grocery store and bought some bread, and when she placed the bread on the ground, the dog inched slowly forward to eat it, allowing Gina to touch its head softly as she said softly, “I’ll call you Lucky,” hoping the name would bring the little dog good luck, even though she was troubled by the fact that her mom had always refused to let her keep a pet at home. Just as she gently brushed its fur, a truck passed noisily, scaring Lucky into bushes. Gina searched anxiously until evening, finding it shaking in a corner. Knowing she couldn’t bring Lucky home directly, she carried it to her community’s unused storage room — for residents’ old stuff. Early the next morning, Gina took warm milk, a clean cloth and her old blanket to the room, carefully cleaning Lucky’s wound before wrapping it and making a warm bed. Every day after school, she rushed there to feed Lucky and talk to it, and she even asked her dog-owning classmate for tips on caring for an injured puppy. Each time she arrived, Lucky soon recognized her, wagging (摇) its tail weakly, yet three days later, its wound started to get infected and it refused to eat anything. Filled with panic, Gina knew she could not deal with the infection alone; she hesitated for a long time, for telling her parents would mean breaking their rule, but letting Lucky suffer in pain was something she could never bear, and at last, she made a decision. 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。 That evening, Gina led her mom to the storage room. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Lucky recovered soon after it returned from the animal hospital. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 That evening, Gina led her mom to the storage room. On seeing the weak and trembling dog with a badly infected leg, Mom’s heart melted completely. She did not get angry or blame Gina at all. Instead, she knelt down and gently touched the poor little dog, moved by her daughter’s kindness and responsibility. Realizing how serious the situation was, she immediately decided to take Lucky to the animal hospital for professional treatment. On the way, Gina told her everything, and Mom finally agreed to let her keep the lovely dog. Lucky recovered soon after it returned from the animal hospital. Its fur grew clean and shiny, and it became lively and active, running around happily every day. Lucky followed Gina wherever she went, wagging its tail warmly and showing endless trust and love. This experience not only taught Gina the importance of love and responsibility but also deepened the understanding between her and her mom. Kindness finally turned a small rescue into the warmest and most unforgettable memory for the whole family. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在一个秋风起的下午，Gina 放学路上发现一只受伤又害怕的小狗 Lucky，悄悄把它安置在储藏室悉心照顾。后来小狗伤口感染，Gina鼓起勇气告诉妈妈。妈妈被女儿的善良打动，带小狗就医并同意收养。康复后的Lucky活泼可爱，这段经历让 Gina 懂得爱与责任，也拉近了她和妈妈的距离，成为全家温暖的回忆。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上，Gina带着她的妈妈来到了储藏室”可知，第一段可描写Gina鼓起勇气告诉妈妈。妈妈被女儿的善良打动，带小狗就医并同意收养。 ②由第二段首句内容“Lucky从动物医院回来后不久就恢复了健康”可知，第二段可描写康复后的Lucky活泼可爱，这段经历让Gina懂得爱与责任，也拉近了她和妈妈的距离，成为全家温暖的回忆。 2.续写线索：告诉妈妈——妈妈被打动——带小狗看医生——小狗康复回家——Gina感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看到：see/catch sight of ②意识到：realize/be aware of ③决定：decide/resolve 情绪类 ①生气：angry/annoyed ②难忘的：unforgettable/memorable 【点睛】[高分句型1] On seeing the weak and trembling dog with a badly infected leg, Mom’s heart melted completely.（运用了动名词作宾语） [高分句型2] Realizing how serious the situation was, she immediately decided to take Lucky to the animal hospital for professional treatment.（运用了现在分词短语作状语，how引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三年级期末考试 英语试卷 全卷满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上，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：用签字笔直接写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） 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。 1.

At 68, she was a retired tailor with free afternoons and a small and narrow attic (阁楼) filled with leftover fabrics from her old shop. What began as a way to reuse old pieces of cloth soon grew into a heartwarming community treasure. It started with a small cloth cottage, stitched (缝制) from worn cotton and decorated with tiny button windows — materials she’d saved from decades of dressmaking. Each evening, she added more: a mini bakery, a little bridge, and tiny figures. Elowen, an 8-year-old neighbor with a curious mind, often stayed by her attic window, watching quietly with bright eyes. Elowen’s single mother was grateful that Elodie welcomed the girl’s company; the tailor would gently explain her stitching techniques and the stories behind each tiny building. When a nearby preschool learned about the village, they invited Elodie to bring her work for a class show. She hesitated at first but agreed, and soon, little ones were learning about crafts, patience, and storytelling through her cloth creations. Elowen helped Elodie display the village, proudly introducing each detail to the kids. Elowen’s cousin, a part-time photographer, took photos of the village and posted them on a small craft blog. The post gained attention widely, and people began sending Elodie small fabrics — linen from a family farm in Maine, silk from a retired tailor in Vermont. Even a stranger from Oregon, who read the blog, sent her a package of hand-sewn tiny cloth flowers, ideal for decorating the mini buildings. On weekends, Elodie let children help stitch simple cloth pieces, their small fingers guided by her experienced hands, smiles lighting up their faces. Parents noticed their kids growing more attentive and creative, inspired by Elodie’s passion. By her 75th birthday, her attic village had become a local treasure — preschools included visits in their craft lessons, senior centers arranged group tours, and craft lovers came for advice. 4. Why did Elodie create the small cloth cottage? A. To make her attic a local star. B. To repurpose the used offcuts. C. To live a free afternoon life. D. To attract town kids’ company. 5. What lay behind the preschool’s attention to Elodie’s work? A. It was of educational value. B. It encouraged Elowen’s mother. C. It involved a neighbor’s child. D. It was Elowen’s recommendation. 6. What does paragraph 4 reflect? A. The diversity of fabric sources. B. People’s support for her work. C. Bloggers’ love for craft works. D. The growth of the cloth village. 7. What message does the text convey? A. Many hands make light work. B. One is never too old to learn. C. Small things make a big difference. D. Dreams lead to unexpected chances. C People have become used to living with AI quickly, but AI has raised serious worries about jobs. For if machines outperform people in reading complex legal texts, translating languages or making arguments, won’t those traditional human workers become irrelevant? Yet in reality, this is not the case. Unemployment in the EU is at a historic low of about 6%, half that of a decade ago. In the UK, it’s even lower at 5.1% — the level of the prosperous early 2000s — and in the US, it’s lower, still at 4.4%. It’s happened before. For example, after the first ATM in the world was launched by Barclays in London in 1967, there were fears that staff at high street bank branches would become obsolete. The opposite turned out to be the case. In the US, over the 30-year period of ATM growth, the number of bank tellers actually increased by 10%. ATMs made it cheaper to open bank branches and more communities gained access to financial services. AI will take away some jobs. But just as there has been no immediate AI prosperity when it comes to economic growth, there is no immediate shift in employment. And in 2016, Geoff Hinton, a major figure in the development of AI, recommended that the world “should stop training radiologists (放射科医生)” because robots were getting better than humans at analyzing images. Ten years later, demand for radiologists in the US is at a record high. AI-driven image analysis has improved the role of radiologists, by allowing them to treat a far greater number of patients. On the other hand, many believed universal access to AI assistants with info-processing and communication skills would narrow earning inequality. But recent studies found the opposite: highly skilled professionals benefit most from AI support. In my research with teammates, we found that giving chess players top-quality advice does little to close the gap between the best and the worst because lower ability players were less likely to follow high-quality advice. Perhaps this is AI’s greatest risk: some benefit far more from it than others. 8. What do the statistics in paragraph 1 indicate? A. AI replaces many human traditional jobs. B. Unemployment rates are falling globally. C. Economic growth can rely on AI heavily. D. Technology may generate new positions. 9. What does the underlined word “obsolete” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Perfect. B. Insecure. C. Unnecessary. D. Unwilling. 10. What can we learn about AI’s impact on radiologists? A. AI has replaced radiologists in medical imaging. B. The demand for radiologists has decreased greatly. C. AI helps radiologists treat more patients efficiently. D. Radiologists have lost their professional skills due to AI. 11. What’s the author’s attitude to the view that AI increases workers’ income inequality? A. Unclear. B. Critical. C. Uncertain. D. Approving. D Researchers at Penn State University found that households using electricity for space and water heating consumed far less energy than those relying on natural gas. Electric heat pumps stood out in particular, with modeled heating energy use intensity nearly four times lower than that of traditional gas-fired power (炉). For the average US home, this difference indicates significant savings potential on energy bills. Homes equipped with central heat pumps showed an average modeled heating energy use of 0.0237 megawatt-hours per square meter, compared to 0.0918 for homes with gas-operated central furnaces. Heat pumps transfer heat rather than generating it, which explains their superior efficiency. According to the US Department of Energy, this approach can reduce electricity use for heating by around 50 percent compared to electric resistance heating like furnaces and baseboard heaters. Gas heating systems don’t fully transform the energy from fuel into usable heat, as some remains unused or escaped through incomplete burning. Electric systems avoid this by not using on-site burning. Homes using electric water heaters also consumed less energy than those using gas, or oil systems, with oil water heaters showing roughly double the energy intensity of electric models. With natural gas still the most common heating fuel nationwide, and electricity second, the findings suggest millions of households could reduce their energy use by switching to heat pumps. The study also discovered more refrigerators and televisions, paired with frequent clothes dryer and dishwasher use, raised household energy use in 39% of states. While these patterns reflect lifestyle choices, appliance (电器) standards and energy labels make it easier to pick efficient models. Replacing older equipment with efficient options when it wears out offers a simple way to reduce demand without changing routines. Besides, researchers found homes generating electricity on-site through solar panels consumed less energy from the grid (电网). Yet only 3.48% of US residences reported using solar electricity, showing adoption remains rare. Wider use of rooftop solar could help households manage energy costs while reducing reliance on centralized grids. 12. How does the author show electric heat pumps’ heating efficiency in paragraph 2? A. By presenting data comparison. B. By clarifying a concept. C. By describing experiments. D. By giving examples. 13. What is one disadvantage of gas heating systems? A. They need constant fuel supply. B. They require frequent maintenance. C. They produce less heat output. D. They lose energy as waste heat. 14. What is one practical suggestion researchers offer for reducing household energy use? A. Mounting more wind energy facilities. B. Upgrading appliances efficiently. C. Reducing appliance use frequency. D. Relying on solar electricity heavily. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. A Comparison of Heating Systems B. Our roles in Energy Consumption C. Roads to Lower Home Energy Use D. Ways to produce Household Energy 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。 My wife, Sue, a nurse, had decided at the age of 40 that she actually wanted to be a doctor instead. ____16____ Then, she had to go back and complete the last two years of her secondary education at night school, while still working and raising our three young children. ____17____ Not only did she pass, she did so well in her final exams that she was offered a place at medical school, starting university at the age of 42.

She went down on her knees gently and attempted to reach out for it, only for the dog to step back with soft cries escaping its throat, which made Gina’s heart ache for the helpless animal. Unwilling to leave it all by itself, she hurried to a nearby grocery store and bought some bread, and when she placed the bread on the ground, the dog inched slowly forward to eat it, allowing Gina to touch its head softly as she said softly, “I’ll call you Lucky,” hoping the name would bring the little dog good luck, even though she was troubled by the fact that her mom had always refused to let her keep a pet at home. Just as she gently brushed its fur, a truck passed noisily, scaring Lucky into bushes. Gina searched anxiously until evening, finding it shaking in a corner. Knowing she couldn’t bring Lucky home directly, she carried it to her community’s unused storage room — for residents’ old stuff. Early the next morning, Gina took warm milk, a clean cloth and her old blanket to the room, carefully cleaning Lucky’s wound before wrapping it and making a warm bed. Every day after school, she rushed there to feed Lucky and talk to it, and she even asked her dog-owning classmate for tips on caring for an injured puppy. Each time she arrived, Lucky soon recognized her, wagging (摇) its tail weakly, yet three days later, its wound started to get infected and it refused to eat anything. Filled with panic, Gina knew she could not deal with the infection alone; she hesitated for a long time, for telling her parents would mean breaking their rule, but letting Lucky suffer in pain was something she could never bear, and at last, she made a decision. 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。 That evening Gina led her mom to the storage room. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Lucky recovered soon after it returned from the animal hospital. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
