B Hidden beside the crowded Western Market food hall, a brightly lit vending machine (自动售卖机) is turning heads. Instead of snacks or drinks, this one sells something more enriching: books. Inspired by a European book vending machine and troubled by the struggles of her fellow prize-winning authors, Lauren Woods, an award-winning fiction author herself, launched LitBox. The vending machine serves works by Washington, D.C.-area authors, including those from small presses or ignored by traditional bookstores. For Woods, LitBox is more than a novel idea; it’s a passion project designed to make local literature more available and the publishing world’ more inclusive. By offering literature from outside the usual commercial pattern, LitBox stands as a living challenge to an industry centering on major publishers. Woods holds that quality doesn’t always match mass-market standards, and the sales back her up — readers now choose small press titles at rates nearly equal to those from major ones. This reader support is especially significant for a city facing cuts to arts funding, as LitBox has proven itself an essential grassroots literary lifeline. “Everyone is telling you that your words and your voice don’t matter,” Woods said. “LitBox is my way of saying: Actually, they do.” LitBox features a variety of selections from poetry and fiction to children’s books, all by D.C.-area writers. Noticing passers-by captured by the vending machine throughout the day, Western Market’s manager Danielle Fisher says that LitBox fits right into the community-first atmosphere of the space. “The idea that LitBox showcases local authors was really a special touch.” Woods collected nearly $7,000 to launch the project and is now-working to expand it across D.C., especially in neighborhoods without access to small-press books. “I’m so proud to live in this city,” Woods said. “LitBox is my way of sharing my pride in the people I live with and talk to every day.” With one simple but powerful idea, Woods is helping rewrite the rules of access and visibility in publishing. 4. Why is LitBox a passion project to Woods? A. It possesses commercial potential. B. It promotes local literary works. C. It will help local literature win prizes. D. It will replace traditional bookstores. 5. What might Woods agree with’ A. Readers avoid major publishers. B. Market standards define readership. C. Arts funding favors local literature. D. Small presses have big impacts. 6 What can be inferred about LitBox in paragraph 4? A. It reflects community services. B. It attracts business investment. C. It features authors nationwide. D. It receives public recognition. 7. How will Woods develop LitBox in the future? A. Cooperate with more publishers. B. Extend its distribution. C. Raise funds for more authors. D. Diversify its book selection. C When it comes to cooling the planet, tropical forests serve as “carbon sinks” — their trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. Now, a new study finds one Australian rainforest is doing the opposite. The research, published in Nature, analyzed data from wet tropical rainforests in Australia, which scientists had tracked for nearly 50 years. By examining woody biomass from the rainforest, which typically holds a large amount of carbon, researchers found the forest is releasing more carbon than it absorbs, and this switch happened about 25 years ago. Since trees release stored carbon back into the atmosphere when they die and break down, this shift indicates that trees in this Australian rainforest are dying faster than they were decades ago, said lead author Hannah Carle, a forest ecosystem researcher at Western Sydney University. Drier air, higher temperatures and water shortages might all play a role. This is the first rainforest recorded as switching from a carbon sink to a carbon source, and Carle added the phenomenon could reflect a declining ecosystem in Australian wet rainforests overall. “The wet tropics in Australia occupy a bit of a warmer, drier climate space than tropical forests on other continents, thus potentially serving as an analog for what tropical forests will experience in other parts of the world,” said Carle. Previous research suggested that tropical rainforests increase their capacity for carbon storage in response to consistently increasing CO2 in the atmosphere. This half-century of data challenges that. Raphael Trouve, who researches forest dynamics at the University of Melbourne in Australia and was not involved in the study, told The Guardian that data sets like this one can help track changes in the climate and environment. “It allows us to put the theory up against reality and better understand how these systems work.” 8. Which aspect of the Australian rainforest does the research focus on? A. The makeup of woody biomass. B. The effects on climate change. C. The level of carbon concentration. D. The change in carbon balance. 9. What does the shift in paragraph 3 show? A. Rising tree death rates. B. Stable weather patterns. C. Modest tropical rainfall. D. Instant ecosystem collapse 10. What does the underlined word “analog” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Different model. B. Sustainable system. C. Similar example. D. Historical background. 11. How does Raphael Trouve view these long-term data sets? A. They provide insights into the truth. B. They offer solutions to climate change. C. They are consistent with popular beliefs. D. They are independent of historical data. D Keeping food cold often comes with a hidden problem: Traditional ice melts (融化), leaving pools of water that can make drinks watery, damage products, or even spread dangerous bacteria. Now, researchers at the University of California, Davis, have created jelly ice, a reusable and biodegradable (可生物降解的) alternative that cools like ice but never melts into liquid. The new material is made of 90% water and can be shaped into various forms. It stays solid below freezing, softens at room temperature, and can be reused by simply washing and refreezing. “Compared to regular ice of the same shape and size, jelly ice has up to 80% of the cooling efficiency,” said Jiahan Zou, a study researcher, “We can reuse the material and maintain the heat absorbance across multiple cooling and warning cycles, an advantage that regular ice cannot offer.” The project began when UC Davis food scientists noticed how much ice was used in fish-processing plants and how meltwater could spread bacteria. Seeking a safer option for grocery seafood displays, the team turned to gelatin a food-safe material whose protein structure can trap water even as it freezes and thaws (解冻). After years of testing, the researchers perfected a simple, one-step process for making jelly ice. The material is made from natural components and can be biodegraded after use. It doesn’t contribute to microplastic pollution, even offering a side benefit of improving tomato plant growth when added to soil. Beyond grocery stores, jelly ice could have wide applications. It could help preserve medical supplies during shipping, reduce waste in biotechnology, and provide reliable cooling options. It promises fresher food shipments without the mess of melting ice packs while also offering a sustainable alternative that reduces pollution risks and supports agriculture Although licenses for the technology have already been secured, jelly ice is not yet available for public purchase. It still requires market analysis, product design, and large-scale production testing. Inspired by its success, the team is now studying other natural polymers, such as plant-based proteins, to see if similar innovations can be developed. 12. What is one advantage of jelly ice over traditional ice? A. Fixed shape. B. Saving water. C. Repeated use. D. Cooling efficiency. 13. What does the author imply about jelly ice in paragraphs 3 and 4? A. It stretches tomato growing cycles B. It adopts a bacteria-free material. C. It shortens the freezing time. D. It lowers environmental impacts. 14. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The official approval is underway. B. Jelly ice needs further development. C. Traditional ice will soon disappear. D. Other natural polymers will be available. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Game-changer That Controls Bacteria. B. A Cooling Alternative That We Can Order. C. A Cooling Material That Doesn’t Melt. D. A Quick Fix That Cuts Biological Pollution. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分125分) When asked for a reasoning or answer to a question, do you find yourself-needing to explain your thoughts at length, going into too much detail to ensure that your points are made? ____16____.

One of the hardest things is learning to “just say no”, When you’re asked to do something you don’t really want to do, it can be difficult not to explain in detail. ____20____In truth, the overexplanation is more to ease your sense of guilt. However, you don’t owe anyone an explanation in a decline. It’s perfectly okay to simply say, “No, but thank you for the offer.” A. In this case you are overexplaining. B. But it gets easier with more practice. C. You feel sorry for what you have explained. D. Overexplaining upsets both ends of the conversation. E.

He had the seat next to hers and each week, before and after the match, there was always time for a casual chat. Now, after long, dull weeks without their beloved football, she was eager to share her wonderful life and catch up on Tom’s recent news. His family didn’t share his love of the beautiful game, so he seemed happy to chat with Ella He was proud of his children and grandkids, and lived in hope that one day, Theo, his youngest grandson, might fall in love with football. At the entrance Ella opened her backpack for a security check. Two bars of chocolate sat on top ready for their big moment to celebrate their football team’s victory. It had become sort of a rule that the two would eat a square each after every home goal (主队进球). Ella made her way to her seat, put down her backpack, and looked at the empty space beside her. Usually her old friend would be ready and waiting, holding up his ancient mechanical watch as a joke when she arrived. It wasn’t like him to be late, which made her uneasy. Just then, a young man edged past her and sat straight down in Tom’s seat. She side-eyed him, failing to find any sign to identify, him as a home supporter. And he seemed quite uninterested that their team had just scored. He even stole a quick glance at Ella as if they had known each other. Suddenly, a voice came from the ground announcer asking all supporters to stand and pay tribute (致敬)to a home supporter who had recently passed away. Ella froze in her seat—the tribute took place in the 76th minute and Tom was aged seventy-six. The fans rose as one, clapping solidly and consistently for 60 seconds to show their appreciation for a long-time fellow supporter. 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。 Ella noticed tears were rolling down the young man’s cheeks.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ella broke off a square of chocolate as usual and handed it to Theo.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年高三期末考试考前考英语 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15分，满分75分) 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音放两遍。 1.

Now, a new study finds one Australian rainforest is doing the opposite. The research, published in Nature, analyzed data from wet tropical rainforests in Australia, which scientists had tracked for nearly 50 years. By examining woody biomass from the rainforest, which typically holds a large amount of carbon, researchers found the forest is releasing more carbon than it absorbs, and this switch happened about 25 years ago. Since trees release stored carbon back into the atmosphere when they die and break down, this shift indicates that trees in this Australian rainforest are dying faster than they were decades ago, said lead author Hannah Carle, a forest ecosystem researcher at Western Sydney University. Drier air, higher temperatures and water shortages might all play a role. This is the first rainforest recorded as switching from a carbon sink to a carbon source, and Carle added the phenomenon could reflect a declining ecosystem in Australian wet rainforests overall. “The wet tropics in Australia occupy a bit of a warmer, drier climate space than tropical forests on other continents, thus potentially serving as an analog for what tropical forests will experience in other parts of the world,” said Carle. Previous research suggested that tropical rainforests increase their capacity for carbon storage in response to consistently increasing CO2 in the atmosphere. This half-century of data challenges that. Raphael Trouve, who researches forest dynamics at the University of Melbourne in Australia and was not involved in the study, told The Guardian that data sets like this one can help track changes in the climate and environment. “It allows us to put the theory up against reality and better understand how these systems work.” 8. Which aspect of the Australian rainforest does the research focus on? A. The makeup of woody biomass. B. The effects on climate change. C. The level of carbon concentration. D. The change in carbon balance. 9. What does the shift in paragraph 3 show? A. Rising tree death rates. B. Stable weather patterns. C. Modest tropical rainfall. D. Instant ecosystem collapse 10. What does the underlined word “analog” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Different model. B. Sustainable system. C. Similar example. D. Historical background. 11. How does Raphael Trouve view these long-term data sets? A. They provide insights into the truth. B. They offer solutions to climate change. C. They are consistent with popular beliefs. D. They are independent of historical data. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11.

Now, a new study finds one Australian rainforest is doing the opposite.(说到给地球降温，热带雨林扮演着“碳汇”的角色——它们的树木从空气中吸收二氧化碳。现在，一项新研究发现澳大利亚的一处雨林却在做相反的事情)”以及第二段中的“researchers found the forest is releasing more carbon than it absorbs, and this switch happened about 25 years ago.(研究人员发现，这片森林释放的碳比吸收的多，这种转变大约发生在25年前)”可知，该研究聚焦于澳大利亚雨林碳平衡的变化（从吸收碳变为释放碳）。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Since trees release stored carbon back into the atmosphere when they die and break down, this shift indicates that trees in this Australian rainforest are dying faster than they were decades ago, said lead author Hannah Carle, a forest ecosystem researcher at Western Sydney University.(因为树木在枯萎腐烂时，会将储存的碳重新释放到大气中西悉尼大学森林生态系统研究员、该研究的主要作者汉娜·卡尔说，这种转变表明，这片澳大利亚雨林的树木死亡速度比几十年前更快了)”可知，第三段中的转变（从碳汇变为碳源）表明树木死亡率上升。故选A项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“The wet tropics in Australia occupy a bit of a warmer, drier climate space than tropical forests on other continents, thus potentially serving as an analog for what tropical forests will experience in other parts of the world,(澳大利亚的湿润热带地区比其他大陆的热带雨林所处的气候更温暖、更干燥，因此有可能成为世界其他地区热带雨林未来遭遇的情况的analog)”可知，澳大利亚雨林的气候环境与其他地区未来可能出现的情况有相似性，由此可猜测analog意为“相似的例子”。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Raphael Trouve, who researches forest dynamics at the University of Melbourne in Australia and was not involved in the study, told The Guardian that data sets like this one can help track changes in the climate and environment. “It allows us to put the theory up against reality and better understand how these systems work.”(拉斐尔・特鲁夫任职于澳大利亚墨尔本大学，主要研究森林动态，且并未参与该项研究。他向《卫报》表示，这类数据集有助于追踪气候与环境的变化。“它能让我们将理论与现实对照，更深入地了解这些生态系统的运行机制。”)”可知，拉斐尔·特鲁夫认为这些长期数据集能帮助人们洞察真相（了解系统运作、验证理论）。故选A项。 D Keeping food cold often comes with a hidden problem: Traditional ice melts (融化), leaving pools of water that can make drinks watery, damage products, or even spread dangerous bacteria. Now, researchers at the University of California, Davis, have created jelly ice, a reusable and biodegradable (可生物降解的) alternative that cools like ice but never melts into liquid. The new material is made of 90% water and can be shaped into various forms. It stays solid below freezing, softens at room temperature, and can be reused by simply washing and refreezing. “Compared to regular ice of the same shape and size, jelly ice has up to 80% of the cooling efficiency,” said Jiahan Zou, a study researcher, “We can reuse the material and maintain the heat absorbance across multiple cooling and warning cycles, an advantage that regular ice cannot offer.” The project began when UC Davis food scientists noticed how much ice was used in fish-processing plants and how meltwater could spread bacteria. Seeking a safer option for grocery seafood displays, the team turned to gelatin a food-safe material whose protein structure can trap water even as it freezes and thaws (解冻). After years of testing, the researchers perfected a simple, one-step process for making jelly ice. The material is made from natural components and can be biodegraded after use. It doesn’t contribute to microplastic pollution, even offering a side benefit of improving tomato plant growth when added to soil. Beyond grocery stores, jelly ice could have wide applications. It could help preserve medical supplies during shipping, reduce waste in biotechnology, and provide reliable cooling options. It promises fresher food shipments without the mess of melting ice packs while also offering a sustainable alternative that reduces pollution risks and supports agriculture Although licenses for the technology have already been secured, jelly ice is not yet available for public purchase. It still requires market analysis, product design, and large-scale production testing. Inspired by its success, the team is now studying other natural polymers, such as plant-based proteins, to see if similar innovations can be developed. 12. What is one advantage of jelly ice over traditional ice? A. Fixed shape. B. Saving water. C. Repeated use. D. Cooling efficiency. 13. What does the author imply about jelly ice in paragraphs 3 and 4? A. It stretches tomato growing cycles B. It adopts a bacteria-free material. C. It shortens the freezing time. D. It lowers environmental impacts. 14. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The official approval is underway. B. Jelly ice needs further development. C. Traditional ice will soon disappear. D. Other natural polymers will be available. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Game-changer That Controls Bacteria. B. A Cooling Alternative That We Can Order. C. A Cooling Material That Doesn’t Melt. D. A Quick Fix That Cuts Biological Pollution. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15.

He had the seat next to hers and each week, before and after the match, there was always time for a casual chat. Now, after long, dull weeks without their beloved football, she was eager to share her wonderful life and catch up on Tom’s recent news. His family didn’t share his love of the beautiful game, so he seemed happy to chat with Ella He was proud of his children and grandkids, and lived in hope that one day, Theo, his youngest grandson, might fall in love with football. At the entrance Ella opened her backpack for a security check. Two bars of chocolate sat on top ready for their big moment to celebrate their football team’s victory. It had become sort of a rule that the two would eat a square each after every home goal (主队进球). Ella made her way to her seat, put down her backpack, and looked at the empty space beside her. Usually her old friend would be ready and waiting, holding up his ancient mechanical watch as a joke when she arrived. It wasn’t like him to be late, which made her uneasy. Just then, a young man edged past her and sat straight down in Tom’s seat. She side-eyed him, failing to find any sign to identify, him as a home supporter. And he seemed quite uninterested that their team had just scored. He even stole a quick glance at Ella as if they had known each other. Suddenly, a voice came from the ground announcer asking all supporters to stand and pay tribute (致敬)to a home supporter who had recently passed away. Ella froze in her seat—the tribute took place in the 76th minute and Tom was aged seventy-six. The fans rose as one, clapping solidly and consistently for 60 seconds to show their appreciation for a long-time fellow supporter. 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。 Ella noticed tears were rolling down the young man’s cheeks.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ella broke off a square of chocolate as usual and handed it to Theo.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Ella noticed tears were rolling down the young man’s cheeks. She suddenly realized who he was — Tom’s youngest grandson, Theo. The young man turned to her, his voice trembling slightly. “I’m Theo. Grandpa always talked about you, about the chocolate you two shared after every home goal, and how you were the only one who really got his love for this team.” He pulled out an ancient mechanical watch from his pocket, the very one Tom used to joke with Ella about. “He wanted me to come here, to see what made this place so special to him.” Ella broke off a square of chocolate as usual and handed it to Theo. “Your grandpa was the best match companion I ever had,” she said, her voice thick with emotion. Theo took the chocolate, his fingers brushing hers, and smiled through his tears. As the game went on, Ella told him stories about Tom’s silly jokes, his unshakable faith in the team even during the worst seasons, and how he’d always save her a seat right here. When the team scored again, they both raised their chocolate squares, just like Ella and Tom used to do. In that moment, Ella knew Tom’s love for the team, and for their little tradition, was in good hands. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述Ella和老球迷Tom是看球的老伙伴，二人有赛后分享巧克力的传统。赛季重启后Ella却没等到Tom，这时一个年轻人坐在了Tom的位置上，随后广播致敬一位76岁的老球迷，Ella意识到Tom已离世。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Ella注意到泪水顺着年轻人的脸颊滚落。”可知，第一段可描写Ella认出年轻人是Tom的孙子Theo，Theo讲述Tom的遗愿，以及Tom留下的那块旧手表。 ②由第二段首句内容“Ella像往常一样掰下一块巧克力递给Theo。”可知，第二段可描写Ella和Theo分享巧克力，讲述Tom的看球往事，二人延续了Tom和Ella的看球传统。 2. 续写线索：认出Theo——Theo讲述遗愿——展示旧手表——分享巧克力——回忆Tom往事——延续看球传统 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①意识到：realize/become aware/come to realize ②拿出：pull out/take out ③举起：raise/lift 情绪类 ①颤抖：tremble/quiver ②微笑：smile/beam 【点睛】[高分句型1] He pulled out an ancient mechanical watch from his pocket, the very one Tom used to joke with Ella about.(运用了省略关系代词的限制性定语从句) [高分句型2] As the game went on, Ella told him stories about Tom’s silly jokes, his unshakable faith in the team even during the worst seasons, and how he’d always save her a seat right here.(运用了as引导时间状语从句和how引导的宾语从句) [高分句型3] When the team scored again, they both raised their chocolate squares, just like Ella and Tom used to do.(运用了when引导时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
