Fuel consumption decreases the slower you drive,because the moving car has to overcome fewer physical forces such as air resistance and rolling friction()between tyres and road.Air resistance increases with the square of the speed.This means that a car experiences 28%more air resistance at a speed of 130km/h than at 110km/h. Slower speed is not the oniy way to reduce the COz emissions from your car.There are three automotive tips to help the climate else. STREAMLINE THE CAR 1.Unevenness(increases the air resistance of your car,and so its CO2emissions.Four open windows increase fuel consumption by up to 27%. GET UP THE GEARS(齿轮)QUICKLY 2.Petrol and diesel (cars should always be driven in the highest possible gear:the engine then has as few revolutions as possible.Fuel consumption between two gears can vary by up to 20%. MAINTAIN TYRE PRESSURE 3.Car tyres at the recommended pressure ensure ideal driving.If the tyre pressure drops to 75%pressure,fuel consumption increases by 2%.If it drops by half,the increase is as much as 10%.Here's the breakdown of fuel consumption impact of driving habits and vehicle adjustments from the Federation of Danish Motorists (FDM).

A It weakens the physical forces the car must fight against. B.It changes the way air resistance affects the car. C.It lightens the weight of the moving vehicle. D.It makes the engine work at a higher speed. 22.What will happen if a car's windows are wide open while driving? A.It'll lower the car's air resistance. B.It'll reduce the car's CO2 emissions. C.It'll lead to a sharp rise in fuel use. D.It'll make the car run more smoothly. 23.What is the fuel-saving effect of reducing speed from 130km/h to 110km/h according to FDM data? A.10% B.16%. C.Up to 20%. D.Nearly 28%. B In March 2022.the Endurance-the lost vessel of the famed polar explorer Erest Shackleton-was found in Antarctica,107 years after it sank.The news made headlines around the world,not only for the incredible achievement of the search team,but because the discovery marked the final chapter in a legendary story of extraordinary courage and perseverance. On August 4,1914,Sir Emest Shackleton,along with a skilled crew of 27,set sail on the Endurance toward the South Pole,hoping to make the first land crossing over Antarctica.From Plymouth,UK,the team arrived in Buenos Aires,Argentina,and on November 5 reached South Georgia Island,the last settlement of civilization en route to Antarctica.There,the real challerige began.Two days after leaving South Georgia in December,the Endurance encountered floating ice,and was soon completely trapped in pack ice. The worthy vessel held up for nine months,drifting down south slowly and then pushed northward by the ice.Gradually,the pressure from the ice buckled the planks.Freezing water rushed in and exacerbated the situation.On October 27,1915,Shackleton ordered his crew to abandon the ship,pitching tents on the ice a mile and a half away.Weeks later,they watched the Endurance sink beneath the Weddeli Sea. The next five months,the crew camped out on the pack ice as it drifted north,surviving on penguins, seals,and seaweed.Finally,the ice broke up enough for them to escape in lifeboats.For seven days,they sailed more than a hundred miles to the uninhabited Elephant Island.But the crew couldn't survive long there.So,Shackleton made a dangerous attempt to get help:With five crew members,he sailed 800 miles over 16 days across freezing,stormy seas to South Georgia Island.Then the group hiked for 36 hours across the island to reach a whaling station. Help was almost at hand,but ice and bad weather hindered their return.On August 30,1916, Shackleton finally got back to Elephant Island with a ship big enough to rescue the rest of his men.All the members of the expedition team survived,but the Endurance remained lost under the sea until its discovery in2022. 24.What is this passage mainly about? A.A renowned Antarctic explorer. B.The extreme weather in Antarctica. C.A challenging voyage to Antarctica. D.The amazing discovery of a sunken ship. 25.Which of the following idioms is closest in meaning to "exacerbated the situation"in the third paragraph? B.Cost an arm and a leg. 26.Accrdingh passahich of thefollowing isruabout Shacketn and hisAntarcticxpedio A.Broke the ice. D.Added fuel to the fire. C.Missed the boat. A.His journey lasted more than two years. B.He was the first man to cross over the Antarctic. C.His team camped out on Elephant Island for five months. D.He sent five crew members on a lifeboat to get help from a whaling station. 27.Which of the following shows the correct route of the Endurance after leaving South Georgia? B. A C The simple act of looking at a piece of visual art can boost your well-being,a new research study has found,and this benefit can be gained in a hospital setting as well as an art gallery. Previous research has suggested that viewing art might influence mood or stress,but the research was limited and inconsistenL This study examined decades of scattered research,providing for the first time a clear and comprehensive overview of when,where and why art viewing is used to promote well-being.The review of38 previously published studies covering a total of6,805 participants was conducted by team of psychologistsfrom University of Vienna,Trinity College Dublin,and Humboldt University of Berlin.It has been published this week in The Joural of Positive Psychology. Peoplefhkofrt asa luxury,but our research suggests that viewing art,whether asa hobby or as a targeted heath intervention,can meaningfully support well-being,said MacKenzie Trupp,e author and researcher at the University of Vienna and Radboud UMC,Donders Institute."By reframn art as a low-cost,accessible wel-being resource this research opens up exciting possibilitiesfor integrating art into everyday environments and public health strategies." Claire Howin,Assistant Professo,School of Psychology,Trinity,added,While the mental heah benefits of creating art have been widely explored,the impact of viewing art has been under-researched and undervalued.Yet visual art is present and accessible in everyday spaces-museums,galleries, hospitals.and at home.Understanding its effects can unlock new avenues for promoting well-being through everyday encounters with art" "Since 2019 the WHO has recommended that creative approaches are used alongside routine clinical care.Art can satisfy people's need to search for meaning in life,build self-esteem,and develop positive identities which are important factors for coping with the chaos of life.Departments of health and arts councils across Europe are looking for high quality evidence to identify which types of arts can be used for each type of medical outcome.This review will help to plan larger scale studies in the future." 28.What's the main function of paragraph 2? A.To provide references for the research. B.To introduce the guidelines of the research. C.To stress the professionalism of the new research. D.To highlight the consistency of the previous research 29.What does the underlined word"reframing"in paragraph 3 mean? A.Designing. B.Redefining. C.Recognizing. D.Selecting. 30.How does Claire Howlin consider the impact of viewing art? A.It calls for more attention. B.It is a privilege of the rich. C.Its effects on well-being are difficult to measure.D.It can't be integrated into public health strategies 31.What is a suitable title for the text? A.Art Facilitates Personal Growth B.Art Viewing Improves Well-being C.Famous Artworks Boost Mood Most D.Art Creating Benefits Mental Health D For the first time ever,a powerful laser (beam from Earth has reportedly hit a target deep space. It could be the key to lightning-fast space communication in the future. Imagine trying to aim at something a distance of a strand (of hair from a distance of 10 km.That's roughly equivalent to what Chinese researchers have achieved,using a laser in space to target distant satellite orbiting the Moon. Aerospace engineers of the Beijing-based Academy of Sciences have struck a satellite with infrared(laser in broad daylight and across a distance of 130,000 km.The powerful laser beam hit a reflector on Tiandu-1,a Chinese lunar navigation and communications test satellite,which launched in March 2024.The signal was retumed to Earth in less than a second,captured by a telescope Yunnan in South-Western China. It is the first time ever that engineers have managed to accurately locate and measure a satellite far away and to do so in daylight,when sunlight usually interferes with measurements.In similar earlier efforts,researchers had been able to collect data for only short periods of time.But demonstrating that the technology also works in sunlight,the researchers have now shown that method could enable much more frequent and accurate measurements in space. The method could also be used to revolutionize communications in space.Currently we use radio waves to send messages to places such as Mars,but lasers could send greatly increased quantities data in the same time. The technology could pave the way for lightning-fast contact with future bases on the Moon and perhaps one day on Mars.Stable laser links in space can reportedly send data to and from Earth up to 100 times faster than can radio waves,perhaps an important boost to communication with future astronauts on the Moon and Mars. 32.What did the Chinese researchers successfully make the laser beam reach? A.A lunar base under construction. B.A Mars exploration spacecraft. C.A reflective device on a test satellite. D.A ground telescope in Yunnan. 33.What makes the Chinese engineers'achievement particularly remarkable? A.Locating a so-distant satellite precisely in daylight. B.Launching a Moon-orbiting satellite 130,000 km away. C.Getting the signal retumed to Earth in a second. D.Using an infrared iaser for the first time successfully. 34.What can be inferred about radio waves in space communication? A.They are unable to reach Mars from Earth. B.They will soon be replaced by laser technology. C.They have lower data transmission capacity than lasers. D.They are more easily interfered with by sunlight than lasers. 35.Which of the following is the most suitable title for the text? A.A Historic Laser Strike:Targeting the Moon B.Tiandu-1 Sateilite:Bridging Earth and the Moon C.Radio Waves:The Future of Space Communication D.China's Laser:A Leap for Deep-Space Communication 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住选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Last Living Monet Every winter,the head gardener at Claude Monet's garden in the tiny French village of Giverny sits down to a pile of seed lists for disappointment.Avisard knows he must grow at least 520,000 plants to recreate these historic grounds.But each year at least 10 seed varieties he selected the previous season will disappear. 36When Monet moved to Giverny in 1883,nurseries()were covered with Victorian flowers.Many of his favored varieties have since gone extinct or been completely changed as people prefer both hardier(耐寒的)plants and flowers with ever-increasing blossoms. This season,,Avisard is crazy about growing a taller pelargonium(天竺葵)，aclumped--flower((簇状花) cousin to the geranium()that Monet famously planted in several red and pink beds in front of his pink house..“_37_”Avisard says.“To bring them back would be a resurrection(起s死▣生).” Head gardener since 2016,Avisard now leads a dozen gardeners,twice as many as Monet enlisted. 38 Wetter winters followed by hot,dry summers lead to earlier crowds of pests.In addition,the management of tourists poses a significant challenge.39 "It's complicated,"says Avisard,"40"He and Giverny's gardeners seek to please a man they've never met by recreating a space so identifiable that it reminds strangers of paintings they see hanging in museums the world over. As seeds disappear,the task only gets harder."We want people to look out like Monet and see what he saw. A.You can't buy them anywhere. B.As with fashion,people's tastes in flowers change. C.The tourists have to feel like they are in Monet's paintings. D.These gardeners struggle with a wildly changing ecosystem. E.Monet's garden symbolizes impressionist art and natural beauty. F.His work includes planting,researching and sourcing rare seeds. GNearly 800.000 visitors flock to the area every year between April and October. 第二部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节完形填空（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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I asked for a wooden birdhouse to hang in the backyard as a present for my birthday.We lived in an old.41 neighborhood with lots of birds,and I wanted to watch them close.My husband mounted the birdhouse onto a tree,and we 42.No one ever came.

Contrary to the misunderstanding that it means "being ordinary"or "doing nothing,"the Confucian “Z☑hongyong'”_58_(refer)to a state of“appropriate action'”doing the right thing,at the right time,in the right way.It was first 59(systematic)clarified in the Confucian classic The Doctrine of the Mean,60states:"The mean is the highest virtue."For Confucians,the"mean"is not a compromise between two extremes,but a harmonious integration of different elements. Today,as we face unprecedented challenges-from personal anxiety 61global conflicts-the "Doctrine of the Mean"offers a timeless 62 (solve):seek balance,avoid extremes,and pursue harmony.It reminds us that the most sustainable happiness does not come from extreme success or endless desire,but from a balanced life;the 63 (stable)relationships do not come from blind agreement or constant conflict,but from mutual respect and compromise;the most prosperous society does not come from one-sided development or rigid rules,but from the harmonious coexistence of different elements. The"Doctrine of the Mean"is more than just an ancient Confucian concept-it's a living wisdom that connects traditional Chinese culture to modem life.It teaches us to slow down in a fast-paced world,to listen in a noisy world,and 64(balance)in an extreme world.In the end,the significance of the "Doctrine of the Mean"in moder society lies in its ability to help us find peace within 65 (we),build harmonious relationships,and create a better world for everyone. 第三部分写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 假定你是李华，请给外教Susan写一封邮件，邀请她参加学校举办的试验田(he experimental field)劳 作活动。内容包括： (1)活动安排；(2)提出邀请。 注意：(1)写作词数应为80左右： (2)可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Susan.

On a Friday evening,Mark invited two Chinese colleagues,Li Wei and Director Zhang,to a hotpot dinner to celebrate the completion of a project.Since it was a casual outing,Mark had planned to go Dutch (split the bill).the standard and fair practice in Chicago. The meal was fantastic,and the atmosphere was warm,filled with laughter and toasts to future success.As the meal wound down,Mark signaled the waiter over and asked him for the bill,intending to split the cost equally and pay his own share.Seeing this,Li Wei and Director Zhang exchanged surprised glances and practically leaped from their chairs,What followed was a scene of chaos that genuinely alarmed Mark.Both colleagues were physically blocking him from the waiter.And each of them was trying to pay for the dinner. "No,no,no!Mark!You are a guest in China.It's my treat!"Li Wei insisted,his hand grabbing Mark's arm with surprising strength And Director Zhang,usually a quiet man,shouted loudly,"You are in Chengdu,my hometown.I should pay!"He already stuffed the money into the waiter's hand. Mark felt a rush of confusion and annoyance.In America,financial independence is a virtue,and if someone pays for you,they seem to look down upon you. "Stop!"Mark said,his voice a little louder than he intended.The table went quiet."Each pay his own way.OK?"Then he threw his share on the table heavily.His colleagues froze,looking awkward.The ride home was silent--Mark had finally followed his own way but he couldn't shake the feeling that he had lost something important. 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。 Paragraph I:The next day,Mark asked Li Wei,"Why were you and Director Zhang so aggressive( 势)last night?” Paragraph 2:Weeks later to celebrate another project's completion,the three went out for dumplings. 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。2025-2026学年度高三下学期开学考试答案 第一部分阅读（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） 21-23 ACB 24-27 DDAA 28-31 CBAB 32-35 CACD 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 36-40 BADGC 第二部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节完形填空（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 41-45 ADCDC 46-50 BDACB 51-55 DBAAC 第二节语法填空（共10小题： 每小题1.5分，满分15分) 56.0r 57.Originating 58.refers 59.systematically 60.which 61.to 62.solution 63.most stable stablest 64.to balance 65.ourselves 第三部分写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） Dear Susan, Hope this email finds you well!I'm Li Hua,one of your students in the English class.I'm writing to sincerely invite you to join the labor activity at our school's experimental field, which I believe will be a wonderful chance for you to experience the fun of farming. The experimental field is located in the southeast comer of our schoolnext to the playground.The labor activity is scheduled to take place from 9:00 to 11:30 this Saturday morning.When we arrive,the teacher in charge will first give a brief introduction to the vegetables planted there.Then,we will weed the vegetable beds,water the vegetables,pick some fresh vegetables and share them with everyone as a small reward for our hard work.

Looking forward to your reply and your presence! Yours, LiHua 第二节（满分25分） Possible version: The next day,Mark asked Li Wei,"Why were you and Director Zhang so aggressive( Last night?""Aggressive?"Li Wei smiled bitterly."It's our great honour to treat a guest, because it shows our gratitude and respect.It's simply impolite to let our guest pay."Mark's eyes widened in sudden realization,and his confusion melted away.He finally understood:the shouting,the grabs,and the bill fight were all gestures of warmth,not confrontation."Sorry,I totally misunderstood,"he ducked his head,and then he cleared his throat softly,"Next time,I'll play by your rules-I promise."(82 words) Weeks later,to celebrate another project's completion,the three went out for dumplings. As the waiter approached with the bill,Mark sprang to his feet first,grabbing it up from his hand."This time.you are my guests.It's my treat!"he declared eagerly in Chinese,stepping hetween his colleagues to block their reaching hands.So determined was he to pay that his colleagues finally gave in with hearty laughter.What felt lost before was back again.Mark realized what really matters to cultural adaptation is genuine understanding and respect for local traditions.(80 words) The next day,Mark asked Li Wei,"Why were you and Director Zhang so aggressive last night?"Li Wei let out a soft laugh,"Mark,fighting for the bill is considered heartfelt hospitality.In China,we never allow our guests to pay."It suddenly dawned on Mark that the chaotic "bill fight"was in fact a heartfelt kindness.His cheeks bumed bright pink.A wave of embarrassment washed over him-how could he be so stubbornly stuck in his own cultural concept as to misinterpret the kindness as being aggressive.(74 words) Weeks later,to celebrate another project's completion,the team went out for dumplings. Before the waiter brought the bill,Mark sprang up,making a dash for it.."It's on me this time!"he exclaimed in broken Chinese.Sure enough,another playful yet fierce"bill fight" broke out,but Mark ended up losing.Far from disappointed,he raised his voice and declared firmly,"You win this time,but next time it must be my turn!"His words drew hearty laughter and cheers from his colleagues.Now Mark truly understood that embracing cultural differences is the essence of cross-cultural communication.(85 words) 部分详解 年案之 24题答案：D 解释：本文采用“新闻导语+历史回顾”的结构：第一段直接点明2022年发现“坚忍号” 这一事件，并强调它标志着一则传奇故事的“最终章”。后续对探险历程的描述，是为 了解释为什么这次发现如此重要且引人关注，而不是单纯讲述历史探险本身。 25题答案：D 解释：“exacerbated the situation”意为“使情况恶化”，与“added fuel to the fire”(火 上浇油)意思最接近。 26题答案：A 解释：根据时间线一一1914年8月出发，1916年8月全员获救，整个探险持续超过两 年，其他选项与原文细节不符。 27题答案：A 离开南乔治亚岛后，“坚忍号”的路线是：在南极海域遭遇浮冰并被困(1914年12月) —随浮冰缓慢向南漂流，后转向北—1915年10月船只沉没于威德尔海一—船员乘 浮冰向北漂流五个月一一换乘救生艇到达象岛一一沙克尔顿带五人乘小艇前往南乔治 亚岛求援 因此正确路线概括为： 南乔治亚岛→威德尔海（被困并沉没）→随冰向北漂流→象岛·南乔治亚岛（求 援小队)。 28题答案：C 解释：第2段说明了这项研究的综述性质，分析了以往研究的局限性，并强调本次研究 的全面性、跨机构合作和发表期刊，目的是突出本次研究的专业性与可信度。 29题答案：B 解释：“T心framing'”意为“重新定/义重新构建”，将艺术从“奢侈品”转变为低成本、 易获取的健康资源，因此选B(Redefining)。 30题答案：A 解释：Claire Howlin提到，观赏艺术的影响研究不足且被低估(under--ehedand undervalued),暗示这一领域值得更多关注，故选A。 31题答案：B 解释：文章主题是“观赏艺术对提升幸福感的作用”，从研究综述、专家观点到WO 建议都围绕这一中心，因此最合适的标题是B。 32题答案：C 解释：根据原文第三段，激光击中了“Tiandu-1”卫星上的一个反射器(eflcr),所 以目标是一个测试卫星上的反射装置。 33题答案：A 解释：第四段强调这是第一次在日光条件下精准定位和测量如此遥远的卫星，且日光通 常干扰测量，所以这一成就是前所未有的。 34题答案：C 解释：第五、六段提到激光可比无线电波传输更多数据（greatly increased quantities of data)，速度可快达100倍，因此可推断无线电波的数据传输能力比激光低。 35题答案：D 解释：本文核心是中国科学家首次实现激光深空精确测距与通信，并展望其在未来太空 通信中的革命性作用，D选项最全面地概括了这一主题。 36.B 解释：空格前提到Avisard每年选的种子品种会消失，后文说莫奈时代的许多花已灭绝 或改变，原因是人们偏好不同。B项“人们对于花的品味如时尚一样变化”解释了这一 现象，承上启下。 37.A 解释：空格前提到一种较高的天竺葵，Avisard说“要让它们复活会是一次重生”，因此 空格应解释为什么需要复活一—因为现在买不到了，A项最符合语境。 38.D 解释：空格后文提到潮湿冬季、炎热干燥夏季和害虫问题，说明园丁面临不断变化的生 态系统挑战，D项直接点明这一困难，引出后文细节。 39.G 解释：空格前说管理游客是巨大挑战，G项给出具体游客数字（每年近80万），具体 说明挑战的规模，且与后文衔接自然。 40.C 解释：空格前提到“很复杂”，后文说园丁们努力让游容看到莫奈所见，因此空格应说 明让游客感受到置身莫奈画中的必要性，C项符合这一逻#。 41.A线索：后文提到“lots of birds”"，鸟多通常因为树木多，所以选heavily-treed(树 木茂密的)。 42.D逻辑：鸟屋装好后，他们“等待”鸟来，但没人（鸟）来，所以选waited。. 43.C线索：“No one ever came..”加上后文“birds are_about where they live”以及“they the right”表明鸟对住处很挑剔，所以选picky, 44.D逻辑：鸟不只要求一个屋子，还需要合适的环境（氛围/环境），atmosphere在此 指整体环境条件，与habitat语境相符。 45.C线素：清单包括清理灌木、种花、设喂食器等，任务很多，而且作者想一夜做完， 说明清单是ambitious(雄心勃勃的)。 46.B逻辑：清单上任务被完成，所以清单变短(shorter),后文“yard began to take shape” 表明任务在减少。 47.D线素：“Birds began to visit--though none_long.”鸟来了但不长久停留，所以选 stayed. 48.A逻辑：设计花园需要专业人士，所以hired（雇佣)一位景观设计师。 49.C线索：他们升级鸟食、经常去鸟店，成了regular customers(常客)。 S0.B逻辑：后院越来越热闹，有更多长翅膀的访客showing up（出现)。 S1.D线索：“to_our yard as a wildlife habitat”表示要“建立”或“认证”它为野生 动物栖息地，establish符合。 S2.B逻辑：后院变成了一个小的ecosystem(生态系统)，与“wildlife habitat”呼应。 53.A线索：开头提到“wooden birdhouse”,最后呼应它仍然空着，所以是birdhouse。. S4.A逻辑：空鸟屋是一个reminder(提醒)，提醒事情不一定按计划发展。 55.C固定搭配：go as planned(按计划进行)。 人灯 56.or解释：此处为并列结构，连接三个动词短语（chase.…argue..struggle.)。 57.Originating解释：用现在分词作状语，表示“起源于儒家”，与主语“this philosophy” 是主动关系。 58.refers解释：主语为单数名词“Zhongyong'”,且为一般现在时，陈述事实，动词用 第三人称单数形式。· 59.systematically 60.which 61.to解释：固定搭配“from.to.”,表示范围从个人焦虑到全球冲突。 62.solution 63.most stable/stablest解释：根据下文“the most prosperous society”可知此处为最高级 结构，且修饰名词“relationships”,用形容词最高级。 64.to balance解释：与前面“to slow down,to listen”并列，为“teaches us to.”后的不 定式结构，保持平行。 65.ourselves解释：.within是介词，后接代词宾格或反身代词，根据语境“在我们内心 找到平静”用反身代词ourselves。 年：e0全响1 正g值到平dg有7s5
