A study published in Child Development found that children who regularly take on household responsibilities are more likely to be ambitious and independent adults. W: That makes sense, but how do I get them to do chores without constant arguing? M: The key is to match tasks to the child’s age. For younger kids, start with small jobs — like having a 2-or 3-year-old put away toys. Around 10 or 11, they can handle changing bedsheets. W: And how do I keep them motivated? M: Start by making chores fun, turning them into a game. Also, praise their effort — a star chart can work well. But most importantly, and this is often overlooked, be the example you want your children to follow. 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 14. What does Eli value most? A. Creating original designs. B.

Eli, how do you balance your academic life with your business goals? M: As a student, getting good grades is still my main priority. W: What were some of the first things you did to start your business in the very beginning? M: I started out creating designs and making logos, and then my older brother Spencer came to help me with the business. We got the ball rolling by selling to our classmates, relatives, and the like. W: What was the biggest challenge along the way? M: I’d say the biggest issue was the risk of buying large quantities of materials to be more cost-efficient. We had to be confident that people would like and buy our products, so we ran online surveys among our early followers to get a better sense of what they wanted. W: You’ve gained lots of publicity through celebrities and influencers, ranging from NBA athletes to singers. How did you go about creating such a wide base? M: I basically contacted many athletes, musicians, and others with strong online influence. Having influencers wear our products has been one of the biggest drivers of growth. Now, we have over 80,000 followers! 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 18. What is said about the book Time for What matters? A. It will be published soon. B. It shows how to master attention. C.

(为了让它感觉更特别，选择你能找到的最好的根汁啤酒；使用由优质原料制成的会有明显区别。)”可知，为了让饮料更特别，建议选择高质量的根汁啤酒。故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Steps部分中“In a rocks glass, gently stir together half of the root beer and the coffee powder until fully dissolved. (在岩石杯中，将一半的根汁啤酒和咖啡粉轻轻搅拌至完全溶解。)”可知，②“溶解咖啡粉”排在第一步；根据“Let the foaming settle, then add the remaining root beer and stir to combine. (让泡沫沉淀，然后加入剩余的根汁啤酒并搅拌混合。)”可知，④“搅拌剩余的啤酒”排在第二步；根据“Add ice to fill, then gently pour in the cream. (加冰至满，然后轻轻倒入奶油。)”可知，③“将玻璃杯装满冰块”排在第三步，①“加入奶油”排在第四步。所以正确的顺序是②④③①。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Dairy-free?>> Use nondairy heavy cream.

Dr. Rhodes’s choice of audience — younger readers — is the first step that makes her successful. As Dr. Rhodes said, “I see children’s love. I see children’s empathy, their compassion for one another.” Younger readers have no prejudice, and therefore would respond to the social injustice in her books without judgment. Her success is largely due to a writing style tailored for children. She uses simple, conversational language with abundant dialogue, making her narratives highly accessible and engaging. Additionally, she integrates appealing fantastic elements such as mermaids (美人鱼)and ghosts, which draw young readers and encourage them to explore the deeper themes within her books. In Ghost Boys, the black character Jerome is fatally shot by a police officer while playing with a toy gun, a tragedy arising from racial prejudice. These narratives reveal systemic injustice and inspire crucial discussions among young readers. Notably, Rhodes’s work goes beyond anger, aiming instead to promote compassion and hope. She believes that by addressing difficult histories, children can be empowered to “make the world better.” This vision is reflected in characters like Sarah in Ghost Boys, the daughter of the same police officer, who grows up to advocate for justice. As noted by Kirkus Reviews, her books offer deep critical insight and challenge readers toward self-definition. In summary, through her strategic choice of audience, accessible style, and powerful yet hopeful storytelling, Dr. Rhodes serves as a groundbreaker. Her books equip the next generation with the awareness and empathy needed to envision and create a more inclusive future, embodying her hope that these young readers will help eliminate racial prejudice. 24. Why does Dr. Rhodes choose to write for children? A. Children need compassion for others. B. Children prefer social inequality issues. C. Children respond with natural empathy. D. Children have no judgment for literature. 25. Which of the following is a part of Rhodes’s writing style? A. Formal grammar. B. Imaginary features. C. Straight narratives. D. Abundant vocabulary. 26. What can we find in Rhodes’s work according to paragraph 3? A. Vision of hope. B. Promotion of anger. C. Insight into justice. D. reflection on history. 27. What is Rhodes’s hope for her young readers? A. To rebuild the world. B. To challenge injustice. C. To avoid difficult topics. D. To advocate personal success. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍儿童文学先驱Jewell Parker Rhodes博士的创作理念、写作风格，及其作品对年轻读者的影响与创作愿景。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“As Dr. Rhodes said, “I see children’s love. I see children’s empathy, their compassion for one another.’ Younger readers have no prejudice, and therefore would respond to the social injustice in her books without judgment.(正如Rhodes博士所说：“我看到了孩子们的爱。我看到了孩子们的同理心，他们对彼此的同情。”年轻读者没有偏见，因此会不带评判地回应她书中的社会不公)”可知，Rhodes博士选择为儿童写作，是因为儿童拥有天然的同理心，能无偏见地回应书中的社会议题。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Additionally, she integrates appealing fantastic elements such as mermaids (美人鱼)and ghosts, which draw young readers and encourage them to explore the deeper themes within her books.(此外，她融入了吸引人的奇幻元素，如美人鱼和鬼魂，这些元素吸引年轻读者，并鼓励他们探索书中更深层次的主题)”可知，Rhodes博士的写作风格包含奇幻元素，即想象性的特征。故选B项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Notably, Rhodes’s work goes beyond anger, aiming instead to promote compassion and hope. She believes that by addressing difficult histories, children can be empowered to “make the world better.”(值得注意的是，Rhodes的作品超越了愤怒，而是旨在促进同情和希望。她认为，通过讲述艰难的历史，孩子们可以获得力量去“让世界变得更美好”)”可知，Rhodes的作品中蕴含着希望的愿景。故选A项。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Her books equip the next generation with the awareness and empathy needed to envision and create a more inclusive future, embodying her hope that these young readers will help eliminate racial prejudice.(她的书为下一代提供了构想和创造更包容未来所需的意识和同理心，体现了她希望这些年轻读者能帮助消除种族偏见的愿望)”可知，Rhodes博士希望年轻读者能助力消除种族偏见，即挑战不公。故选B项。 C For centuries, the Rhine River has been celebrated as the lifeline of Europe, a vital waterway for commerce, culture, and ecology. However, a study published in January 2026 reveals a troubling modern reality: this historic river now acts as a massive conveyor belt for rubbish, carrying between 3,000 and 4,700 tons of large garbage into the North Sea every single year. How could such a vast amount of waste have been missed? The answer lies in a revolutionary new research method. For an entire year, researchers worked with local citizen scientists to operate a special floating device called a litter trap. This device filtered (过滤) water from the surface down to 80 centimeters deep. Unlike older methods that relied on brief visual surveys, this long-term physical collection recorded the true, disorganized flow of garbage. The data showed enormous changes, with the amount of rubbish collected in a two-week period varying wildly from as few as 67 pieces to over 2,700, accounting for why short-term observations failed to get the full picture. The collected garbage tells a clear story about its origins. Detailed analysis showed that while plastic items made up about 70% of all pieces, they were mostly lightweight, only 15% of the total weight. More importantly, over 56% of all rubbish was linked directly to the choices of individual consumers, with items like food wrappers and beverage (饮料) bottles being most common. Specific activities also left their mark, with litter from fireworks making up 10.7% of the total and tobacco-related waste like cigarette butts contributing another 6.5%. This year-long project, powered in part by dedicated volunteers, proves that long-term, hands-on monitoring is essential to measure environmental challenges accurately. It provides a powerful model for how communities and scientists can work together to gather the evidence needed for action. The Rhine’s story is no longer just about its scenic beauty or economic importance; it is an urgent call to address the tide of waste our modern lifestyle creates, before it all washes out to sea. 28. What is the main finding of the 2026 study on the Rhine River? A. It has a vital status in history. B. It flows into the North Sea every year. C. It becomes a carrier of massive rubbish. D. It loses the role as a waterway for ecology. 29. Which of the following contributed to old methods’ failure? A. Not involving local volunteers. B. Lacking recorded data of advanced tools. C. Only collecting water from the surface. D. Missing dramatic changes in short surveys. 30. What can we learn from the figures in paragraph 3? A. Fireworks were the most polluted activity. B. Smoking had little effect on the environment. C. Most rubbish came from personal consumption. D. Plastics made up most of the weight. 31. What is the primary purpose of the passage? A. To analyse origins of river garbage. B. To emphasize pollution and urge action. C. To explain a new method to clear rubbish. D. To praise the project led by volunteers. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了2026年一项研究发现莱茵河成为大量垃圾的运输带，新研究方法揭示问题根源并呼吁采取行动应对污染。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, a study published in January 2026 reveals a troubling modern reality: this historic river now acts as a massive conveyor belt for rubbish, carrying between 3,000 and 4,700 tons of large garbage into the North Sea every single year.(然而，2026年1月发表的一项研究揭示了一个令人不安的现代现实：这条历史悠久的河流现在成了一个巨大的垃圾运输带，每年将3000至4700吨大型垃圾运入北海)”可知，2026年关于莱茵河的研究主要发现是它成了大量垃圾的运输带。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The data showed enormous changes, with the amount of rubbish collected in a two-week period varying wildly from as few as 67 pieces to over 2,700, accounting for why short-term observations failed to get the full picture.(数据显示，变化巨大，两周内收集的垃圾数量从67件到2700多件不等，这解释了为什么短期观察无法全面了解情况)”可知，旧方法失败的原因是短期调查中错过了巨大的变化。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“More importantly, over 56% of all rubbish was linked directly to the choices of individual consumers, with items like food wrappers and beverage (饮料) bottles being most common.(更重要的是，超过56%的垃圾直接与个人消费者的选择有关，其中食品包装纸和饮料瓶最为常见)”可知，从第三段的数据中我们可以了解到大多数垃圾来自个人消费。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The Rhine’s story is no longer just about its scenic beauty or economic importance; it is an urgent call to address the tide of waste our modern lifestyle creates, before it all washes out to sea.(莱茵河的故事不再仅仅是关于它的风景之美或经济重要性；它是在所有垃圾被冲入大海之前，迫切呼吁解决我们现代生活方式所造成的垃圾潮问题)”可知，文章的主要目的是强调污染问题并呼吁采取行动。故选B。 D Did you splurge (挥霍) on Black Friday this year? The answer may depend on your income. In a departure from long-held conventions, this year’s holiday spending patterns so far have been largely driven by household income, according to new data provided to The Washington Post by Consumer Edge. The richest households, with incomes over $150,000, spent 3 percent more between Black Friday and Cyber Monday than they did a year ago. Shoppers with household incomes less than $40,000, meanwhile, pulled back, spending 2 percent less than they did in the same period last year, when the opposite was true: Spending by lower-income families picked up at a faster rate than other income groups. This year, however, stubbornly high prices have left many of these families sitting out the unofficial shopping holiday altogether. For the first time, the top 10 percent of Americans account for nearly half of all spending, up from about 35 percent in the early 1990s. That dynamic has been particularly pronounced this holiday season, as retailers turn to deep discounts to win over customers. For the wealthy, this weekend serves as an opportunity to score luxuries like wine fridges at deep discounts. But for much of the country, those deals feel as out of reach as ever, as people struggle to keep up with everyday bills. The widening spending split reflects a larger divide across the economy. Lower-and middle-income Americans have been hard hit by rising costs for utilities (水电费), food and housing, which are making it tougher to afford the basics. They are increasingly falling behind on credit cards and car loans and are pulling back on spending as a result. Meanwhile, wealthier Americans have continued to spend generously, boosted by rising home values, stock market gains and outsize income growth. “This year looks different from the rest: No matter how you look at it, uneven economic conditions are shaping people’s spending,” said Michael Gunther, head of insights at Consumer Edge. 32. What can be inferred about last year’s spending pattern? A. It was determined by economic growth. B. It was largely varied across income groups. C. It was less influenced by economic inequality. D. It was balanced between income and spending. 33. What does the underlined word “dynamic” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The retailers’ deep discounts strategy. B. The wealthy’s near-half spending share. C. The stubborn prices of everyday essentials. D. The rising trend of purchasing luxury goods. 34. What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A. It describes the struggles in paying bills. B. It introduces different consumption customs. C. It highlights the overall increase of holiday sales. D It explains economic causes for the spending gap. 35 Why is Michael Gunther’s words quoted? A. To give a concrete example for the trend. B. To make a summary of the key argument. C. To offer a solution to the economic problem. D. To provide an opposing view for further debate. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要分析了今年“黑色星期五”期间出现的消费分化新趋势：高收入家庭支出增加，而低收入家庭支出减少。文章探讨了这种分化背后的经济原因（如高物价对低收入家庭的冲击、资产增值对高收入家庭的助推），并指出这反映了更广泛的经济不平等。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The richest households, with incomes over $150,000, spent 3 percent more between Black Friday and Cyber Monday than they did a year ago. Shoppers with household incomes less than $40,000, meanwhile, pulled back, spending 2 percent less than they did in the same period last year, when the opposite was true: Spending by lower-income families picked up at a faster rate than other income groups. (年收入超过15万美元的最富裕家庭，在黑色星期五到网络星期一期间的消费比一年前增长了3%。与此同时，家庭收入低于4万美元的消费者却缩减了开支，消费额比去年同期下降了2%。而去年的情况恰恰相反：低收入家庭的消费增速高于其他收入群体。)”可知，去年低收入者消费增长更快，与今年贫富差距导致的消费分化不同，由此可推断去年受经济不平等的影响较小。故选 C。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“For the first time, the top 10 percent of Americans account for nearly half of all spending, up from about 35 percent in the early 1990s. That dynamic has been particularly pronounced this holiday season (首次，收入最高的10%的美国人占所有消费的近一半，而20世纪90年代初这一比例约为35%。这种dynamic在今年假日季尤为明显)”可知，而20世纪90年代初那个dynamic约为35%，这里dynamic指的是前文提到的收入最高的10%的美国人占所有消费的近一半这一情况。选项B“The wealthy’s near-half spending share. (富人近一半的消费份额。)”符合题意。故选B。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中“The widening spending split reflects a larger divide across the economy. Lower-and middle-income Americans have been hard hit by rising costs for utilities (水电费), food and housing, which are making it tougher to afford the basics. (消费差距的扩大反映了整个经济中更大的分化。中低收入美国人受到水电费、食品和住房成本上升的严重打击，这使得他们更难负担基本生活费用。)”可知，本段主要解释了造成消费差距的经济原因。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“This year looks different from the rest: No matter how you look at it, uneven economic conditions are shaping people’s spending (今年看起来与众不同：无论你怎么看，不均衡的经济状况正在影响人们的消费)”以及前文对今年消费模式因收入不同而不同以及造成这种差距的经济原因的阐述可知，引用Michael Gunther的话是对前文关键论点的总结。故选B。 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。 This scientifically proven trick is a total game-changer for anyone who cooks. We all know the familiar sting; you start chopping an onion only to end up with tears streaming down your face. Why does this happen? ____36____ When you cut an onion, you break its cells, releasing sulfur (硫磺) compounds that form a gas. This gas mixes with the natural moisture in your eyes, creating a mild acid that causes irritation (刺激). ____37____ This is a protective reaction, not an emotional cry. The other major cause is tiny droplets. As a knife — especially a blunt (钝的) one — presses into the onion, it squeezes the inner liquid. When the skin breaks, this liquid forms droplets that splash upward, directly into your eyes. ____38____ A sharp knife slices cleanly, causing far less tissue pressure and droplet spray than a dull one. Using a blunt tool makes the tear problem much worse. Furthermore, these flying droplets pose an additional health risk. ____39____ If present, these germs can be spread around your kitchen by the same droplets that make you cry, increasing infection risk. Therefore, a sharp knife is a tool for both comfort and safety. What is the best solution? Simply sharpen your knives. The study tested common tips like washing onions in cold water or cooling them in the fridge, and found they did not work. ____40____ But for a simpler, science-backed method to minimize tears and mess, a sharp blade is your most effective choice. A. Onions can sometimes carry bacteria. B. Not everyone needs protection while slicing onions. C. This finding highlights the importance of your knife. D. In response, your eyes produce tears to wash the irritant away. E. For complete protection, safety glasses create a reliable barrier. F. Researchers now have uncovered both a chemical and a physical reason. G. This uncomfortable situation kicks your eyes into full-on protection mode. 【答案】36. F 37. D 38. C 39. A 40. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了切洋葱时流泪的原因，并指出使用锋利的刀是减少流泪和杂乱的最有效方法。 【36题详解】 上文“Why does this happen? (为什么会这样呢？)”提出了切洋葱时流泪的原因这一问题，空后“When you cut an onion, you break its cells, releasing sulfur (硫磺) compounds that form a gas. This gas mixes with the natural moisture in your eyes, creating a mild acid that causes irritation (刺激). (当你切洋葱时，你会破坏它的细胞，释放出形成气体的硫化合物。这种气体与你眼睛中的天然水分混合，产生一种引起刺激的弱酸。)”具体解释了切洋葱时流泪的化学原因，以及“The other major cause is tiny droplets.

(但是，为了更简单、有科学依据的方法来减少流泪和杂乱，锋利的刀片是你最有效的选择。)”提出了一种更简单且有科学依据的减少流泪和杂乱的方法，即使用锋利刀片。选项E“For complete protection, safety glasses create a reliable barrier. (为了完全保护，安全眼镜可以创造一个可靠的屏障。)”符合语境，提出了另一种防止切洋葱时流泪的方法，与后文使用锋利刀片的方法形成对比，共同围绕减少切洋葱时流泪这一主题展开。故选E。 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 My husband and I were on vacation with our travel truck.

It is a beautiful place with amazing food, but it also has an alarming crime rate, including kidnappings (绑架) of tourists. Before arriving, my sister-in-law-to-be, who lived there, relayed all the safety tips. “Never get in a red-and-gold taxi. Those aren’t licensed, and anyone can paint their car, take you, steal your money, and make you empty the ATM,” she said. Her smile didn’t match the severity of the warning. “Check. Avoid red-and-gold taxis,” I replied. On the day of the wedding my husband and I were to be separated. My sister-in-law had arranged for my mother and me to have our hair and makeup done in my hotel room. Once our transformation was complete, we’d head to the hotel shuttle (班车) to take us safely to the wedding at the venue. A shuttle pulled up in front of us, and the hotel staff hurried us into empty seats. All the other rows were full of people having conversations in Spanish. We don’t speak Spanish. We asked the driver if we were on the right transport, and the answer was a nod. However, the shuttle headed in the same direction but drove past our destination when I realized that everyone else had plans to attend the same wedding — and it wasn’t my brother’s. By the time we got to the shuttle’s destination twenty minutes later, my mother was in full boil (心急火燎). She was certain she was going to miss her son’s wedding. I got out and talked to a porter at the venue. He told me we had caught a private vehicle, and they could not transport us back because the family had hired them to drive their guests. I asked the porter to call us an official taxi. A white one. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: What arrived was a slightly battered red-and-gold taxi. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The driver said in perfect English, “Is this your place?” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Paragraph 1: What arrived was a slightly battered red-and-gold taxi. My heart sank, but time was running out. I pushed my hesitating mother into the backseat, whispering, “We have no choice.” As the cab sped through the busy streets, my mother’s anxiety grew. She spoke loudly on the phone, voicing all her fears in English about our “crazy driver” and unsure destination. I held her hand tightly, trying to calm us both by repeating that we were moving in the right direction. The driver remained silent, his eyes fixed on the road, leaving us wondering what he understood. Paragraph 2: The driver said in perfect English, “Is this your place?” We were stunned into silence. My mother’s face turned red with embarrassment while I felt a wave of relief. He explained he had driven many worried wedding guests and recognized our panic. With a kind smile, he wished us well. Stepping out at the venue, we realized our real struggle had been against our own fear, not the driver. Though our makeup was now melted, we arrived just in time, which reminded that trust can often be the safest route of all. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者因哥哥在墨西哥城举办婚礼而前往该地，在出发前，即将成为嫂子且居住在当地的亲友告知了安全注意事项，尤其提醒要避开红金相间的无牌照出租车。婚礼当天，作者与母亲在酒店准备就绪后，搭乘了一辆酒店班车，虽确认过路线，但这辆车却开错了方向，将她们带到了另一场婚礼的现场。到达后母亲心急如焚，担心错过儿子的婚礼，最后作者向场地工作人员求助，对方告知她们误乘了私人车辆，并帮忙呼叫了一辆官方白色出租车送她们回去。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“最终抵达的是一辆略显破旧的红金色出租车。”可知，第一段可描写作者面对最糟糕情况时的心理挣扎、无奈上车后的紧张旅程，以及司机沉默行为所带来的不安与猜疑。 ②由第二段首句内容“司机用流利的英语说道：“这是你们的住处吗？””可知，第二段可描写危机解除后的反应，包括人物的尴尬、释然，司机可能做出的解释，以及整个事件带来的反思与感悟。 2. 续写线索：上车——途中母亲的焦虑与作者的故作镇定——司机突然用英语询问——抵达后作者妈妈的反应——司机解释——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①催促/推动：push/urge ②紧握：hold tightly/grip ③低语：whisper/murmur 情绪类 ①焦虑：anxiety/worry ②宽慰：relief/reassurance 【点睛】[高分句型1] As the cab sped through the busy streets, my mother’s anxiety grew.

B Dr. Jewell Parker Rhodes is a pioneering creator in children’s literature who tackles significant issues like social inequality for a young audience. Dr. Rhodes’s choice of audience — younger readers — is the first step that makes her successful. As Dr. Rhodes said, “I see children’s love. I see children’s empathy, their compassion for one another.” Younger readers have no prejudice, and therefore would respond to the social injustice in her books without judgment. Her success is largely due to a writing style tailored for children. She uses simple, conversational language with abundant dialogue, making her narratives highly accessible and engaging. Additionally, she integrates appealing fantastic elements such as mermaids (美人鱼)and ghosts, which draw young readers and encourage them to explore the deeper themes within her books. In Ghost Boys, the black character Jerome is fatally shot by a police officer while playing with a toy gun, a tragedy arising from racial prejudice. These narratives reveal systemic injustice and inspire crucial discussions among young readers. Notably, Rhodes’s work goes beyond anger, aiming instead to promote compassion and hope. She believes that by addressing difficult histories, children can be empowered to “make the world better.” This vision is reflected in characters like Sarah in Ghost Boys, the daughter of the same police officer, who grows up to advocate for justice. As noted by Kirkus Reviews, her books offer deep critical insight and challenge readers toward self-definition. In summary, through her strategic choice of audience, accessible style, and powerful yet hopeful storytelling, Dr. Rhodes serves as a groundbreaker. Her books equip the next generation with the awareness and empathy needed to envision and create a more inclusive future, embodying her hope that these young readers will help eliminate racial prejudice. 24. Why does Dr. Rhodes choose to write for children? A. Children need compassion for others. B. Children prefer social inequality issues. C. Children respond with natural empathy. D. Children have no judgment for literature. 25. Which of the following is a part of Rhodes’s writing style? A. Formal grammar. B. Imaginary features. C. Straight narratives. D. Abundant vocabulary. 26. What can we find in Rhodes’s work according to paragraph 3? A. Vision of hope. B. Promotion of anger. C. Insight into justice. D. reflection on history. 27. What is Rhodes’s hope for her young readers? A. To rebuild the world. B. To challenge injustice. C. To avoid difficult topics. D. To advocate personal success. C For centuries, the Rhine River has been celebrated as the lifeline of Europe, a vital waterway for commerce, culture, and ecology. However, a study published in January 2026 reveals a troubling modern reality: this historic river now acts as a massive conveyor belt for rubbish, carrying between 3,000 and 4,700 tons of large garbage into the North Sea every single year. How could such a vast amount of waste have been missed? The answer lies in a revolutionary new research method. For an entire year, researchers worked with local citizen scientists to operate a special floating device called a litter trap. This device filtered (过滤) water from the surface down to 80 centimeters deep. Unlike older methods that relied on brief visual surveys, this long-term physical collection recorded the true, disorganized flow of garbage. The data showed enormous changes, with the amount of rubbish collected in a two-week period varying wildly from as few as 67 pieces to over 2,700, accounting for why short-term observations failed to get the full picture. The collected garbage tells a clear story about its origins. Detailed analysis showed that while plastic items made up about 70% of all pieces, they were mostly lightweight, only 15% of the total weight. More importantly, over 56% of all rubbish was linked directly to the choices of individual consumers, with items like food wrappers and beverage (饮料) bottles being most common. Specific activities also left their mark, with litter from fireworks making up 10.7% of the total and tobacco-related waste like cigarette butts contributing another 6.5%. This year-long project, powered in part by dedicated volunteers, proves that long-term, hands-on monitoring is essential to measure environmental challenges accurately. It provides a powerful model for how communities and scientists can work together to gather the evidence needed for action. The Rhine’s story is no longer just about its scenic beauty or economic importance; it is an urgent call to address the tide of waste our modern lifestyle creates, before it all washes out to sea. 28. What is the main finding of the 2026 study on the Rhine River? A. It has a vital status in history. B. It flows into the North Sea every year. C. It becomes a carrier of massive rubbish. D. It loses the role as a waterway for ecology. 29. Which of the following contributed to old methods’ failure? A. Not involving local volunteers. B. Lacking recorded data of advanced tools. C. Only collecting water from the surface. D. Missing dramatic changes in short surveys. 30. What can we learn from the figures in paragraph 3? A. Fireworks were the most polluted activity. B. Smoking had little effect on the environment. C. Most rubbish came from personal consumption. D. Plastics made up most of the weight. 31. What is the primary purpose of the passage? A. To analyse origins of river garbage. B. To emphasize pollution and urge action. C. To explain a new method to clear rubbish. D. To praise the project led by volunteers. D Did you splurge (挥霍) on Black Friday this year? The answer may depend on your income. In a departure from long-held conventions, this year’s holiday spending patterns so far have been largely driven by household income, according to new data provided to The Washington Post by Consumer Edge. The richest households, with incomes over $150,000, spent 3 percent more between Black Friday and Cyber Monday than they did a year ago. Shoppers with household incomes less than $40,000, meanwhile, pulled back, spending 2 percent less than they did in the same period last year, when the opposite was true: Spending by lower-income families picked up at a faster rate than other income groups. This year, however, stubbornly high prices have left many of these families sitting out the unofficial shopping holiday altogether. For the first time, the top 10 percent of Americans account for nearly half of all spending, up from about 35 percent in the early 1990s. That dynamic has been particularly pronounced this holiday season, as retailers turn to deep discounts to win over customers. For the wealthy, this weekend serves as an opportunity to score luxuries like wine fridges at deep discounts. But for much of the country, those deals feel as out of reach as ever, as people struggle to keep up with everyday bills. The widening spending split reflects a larger divide across the economy. Lower-and middle-income Americans have been hard hit by rising costs for utilities (水电费), food and housing, which are making it tougher to afford the basics. They are increasingly falling behind on credit cards and car loans and are pulling back on spending as a result. Meanwhile, wealthier Americans have continued to spend generously, boosted by rising home values, stock market gains and outsize income growth. “This year looks different from the rest: No matter how you look at it, uneven economic conditions are shaping people’s spending,” said Michael Gunther, head of insights at Consumer Edge. 32. What can be inferred about last year’s spending pattern? A. It was determined by economic growth. B. It was largely varied across income groups. C. It was less influenced by economic inequality. D. It was balanced between income and spending. 33. What does the underlined word “dynamic” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The retailers’ deep discounts strategy. B. The wealthy’s near-half spending share. C. The stubborn prices of everyday essentials. D. The rising trend of purchasing luxury goods. 34. What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A. It describes the struggles in paying bills. B. It introduces different consumption customs. C. It highlights the overall increase of holiday sales. D. It explains economic causes for the spending gap. 35. Why is Michael Gunther’s words quoted? A. To give a concrete example for the trend. B. To make a summary of the key argument. C. To offer a solution to the economic problem. D. To provide an opposing view for further debate. 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。 This scientifically proven trick is a total game-changer for anyone who cooks. We all know the familiar sting; you start chopping an onion only to end up with tears streaming down your face. Why does this happen? ____36____ When you cut an onion, you break its cells, releasing sulfur (硫磺) compounds that form a gas. This gas mixes with the natural moisture in your eyes, creating a mild acid that causes irritation (刺激). ____37____ This is a protective reaction, not an emotional cry. The other major cause is tiny droplets. As a knife — especially a blunt (钝的) one — presses into the onion, it squeezes the inner liquid. When the skin breaks, this liquid forms droplets that splash upward, directly into your eyes. ____38____ A sharp knife slices cleanly, causing far less tissue pressure and droplet spray than a dull one. Using a blunt tool makes the tear problem much worse. Furthermore, these flying droplets pose an additional health risk. ____39____ If present, these germs can be spread around your kitchen by the same droplets that make you cry, increasing infection risk. Therefore, a sharp knife is a tool for both comfort and safety. What is the best solution? Simply sharpen your knives. The study tested common tips like washing onions in cold water or cooling them in the fridge, and found they did not work. ____40____ But for a simpler, science-backed method to minimize tears and mess, a sharp blade is your most effective choice. A. Onions can sometimes carry bacteria. B. Not everyone needs protection while slicing onions. C. This finding highlights the importance of your knife. D. In response, your eyes produce tears to wash the irritant away. E. For complete protection, safety glasses create a reliable barrier. F. Researchers now have uncovered both a chemical and a physical reason. G. This uncomfortable situation kicks your eyes into full-on protection mode. 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 My husband and I were on vacation with our travel truck.

It is a beautiful place with amazing food, but it also has an alarming crime rate, including kidnappings (绑架) of tourists. Before arriving, my sister-in-law-to-be, who lived there, relayed all the safety tips. “Never get in a red-and-gold taxi. Those aren’t licensed, and anyone can paint their car, take you, steal your money, and make you empty the ATM,” she said. Her smile didn’t match the severity of the warning. “Check. Avoid red-and-gold taxis,” I replied. On the day of the wedding, my husband and I were to be separated. My sister-in-law had arranged for my mother and me to have our hair and makeup done in my hotel room. Once our transformation was complete, we’d head to the hotel shuttle (班车) to take us safely to the wedding at the venue. A shuttle pulled up in front of us, and the hotel staff hurried us into empty seats. All the other rows were full of people having conversations in Spanish. We don’t speak Spanish. We asked the driver if we were on the right transport, and the answer was a nod. However, the shuttle headed in the same direction but drove past our destination when I realized that everyone else had plans to attend the same wedding — and it wasn’t my brother’s. By the time we got to the shuttle’s destination twenty minutes later, my mother was in full boil (心急火燎). She was certain she was going to miss her son’s wedding. I got out and talked to a porter at the venue. He told me we had caught a private vehicle, and they could not transport us back because the family had hired them to drive their guests. I asked the porter to call us an official taxi. A white one. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: What arrived was a slightly battered red-and-gold taxi. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The driver said in perfect English, “Is this your place?” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $这是高三英语模拟试题听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。第一节听下面五段录音，每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。每段录音播放两遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的。有关内容。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。The weather is a little unusual for this time of the year, don't you think.
