Here are some of the very best on the planet to help you plan your next great hike. The King’s Trail, Sweden Length of hike: more than 450 km Considered one of the world’s most amazing hikes, the King’s Trail is known for its remote edge-of-the-world atmosphere, 24/7 midsummer daylight and the August/ September Northern Lights that light up the sky. It courses through a vast Arctic landscape home to birch forests filled with flowers, impressive mountain passes and broad glacial valleys. The Lycian Way, Türkiye Length of hike: 540 km As the most scenic long-distance hike in Türkiye, this hike traces ancient bridges, footpaths and mule (骡子) tracks for a breathtaking journey into the country’s past. The route got its name because of the ancient Lycian towns, temples and time-worn castles it passes by. Tracing the Mediterranean coast through forests, mountains and historic harbour towns, the walk takes in lots of key sites of Türkiye. The Jordan Trail, Jordan Length of hike: 675 km The Jordan Trail is an ambitious adventure, passing through desert landscape, ancient ruins, villages and towns. Despite first-glance appearances, hikers are surprised that the trail is not endless desert. Throughout the trail, expect a diverse landscape that includes wooded hills, cliffs, the “Lost City of Petra” and soaring mountains, and finally, the cool waters of the Red Sea at the trip’s end. The Great Ocean Walk, Australia Length of hike: 104 km-110 km Located about 200 kilometers southwest of Melbourne, the Great Ocean Walk provides hikers with plenty of only-in-Australia sights and ranks as the continent’s most charming coastal foot path. Along the route, hikers will undoubtedly encounter koalas, wallabies, stream and river crossings, tall forests and deserted beaches. 1. Which hike covers the shortest length? A. The King’s Trail, Sweden. B. The Lycian Way, Türkiye. C. The Jordan Trail Jordan. D. The Great Ocean Walk, Australia. 2. What is special about the King’s Trail? A. Its desert and mountain scenery. B. Its polar day and polar lights views. C. Its focus on biodiversity conservation. D. Its coastal landscapes and ancient ruins. 3. What do the Lycian Way and the Jordan Trail have in common? A. They are famous world heritage sites. B. They offer chances to observe wildlife. C. They pass through ancient historical sites. D. They are located on the same continent. B Denmark has had mail delivery since the 1600s. Now, the government-run postal service says it will no longer carry letters starting soon. Instead, the service will focus on delivering packages. Many postal services around the world are struggling, and some people think Denmark won’t be the only country to stop delivering letters. The government-run PostNord used to deliver billions of letters every year. But the service says the number of letters it carries has dropped by more than 90% since 2000. The rapid drop was partly the result of a new law that greatly raised the price of sending letters. Even so the letter-carrying part of PostNord was losing money last year. But the increased cost isn’t the only reason why letters are more rare. These days, with emails, texts and messaging apps, digital communications are far more common. Many people don’t have any need to send paper letters anymore. Some people are worried that the change will mainly hurt older people and those who live in remote areas. People in these groups are less likely to be online, and may rely more heavily on letters for communication. This suggests that future letter service will likely exist as a specialized, market-driven offering rather than a universal public service. So, a private company says it will take over the delivery of letters in Denmark. Writing and sending letters is much less common in this digital age, which has left many postal services struggling. Some postal services are losing money, and they may face hard choices in the future. Although the era of letter delivery is coming to a close, nostalgia (怀旧) for the postal age remains strong. In Denmark, PostNord put its red post boxes up for sale online. There was so much interest that the website almost crashed, and the post boxes sold out very quickly. 4. What will become the new focus of Denmark’s government-run postal service? A. Mail collection. B. Digital messaging. C. Package delivery. D. Stamp production. 5. Why did PostNord decide to stop delivering letters? A. To stop its financial losses. B. To focus on digital messages. C. To raise the price of letters. D. To obey a new government law. 6. What is the suggested method for the elderly to receive letters next? A. By community support. B. By private delivery service. C. By public postal service. D. By local digital communication. 7. What do the strong sales of red post boxes show? A. A lasting need for letters. B. Their new practical value. C. A successful sales strategy. D. Public affection for the past. C In a study, the researchers found the decline was reduced by about 15%-20% among those who either volunteered formally or helped in informal ways, such as supporting neighbors, family, or friends. The strongest and most consistent benefit appeared when people spent about two to four hours per week helping others. “Everyday acts of support — whether organized or personal — can have lasting cognitive (认知的) impact,” said Sae Hwang Han, an assistant professor who led the study. “What stood out to me was that the cognitive benefits of helping others weren’t just short-term improvements but cumulative over time with sustained engagement, and these benefits were evident for both formal volunteering and informal helping. Moderate engagement of just two to four hours was consistently linked to benefits.” To study these patterns over time, the researchers analyzed data from the national Health and Retirement Study. The dataset includes a representative sample of U.S. residents over age 51, with information dating back to 1998. The researchers accounted for other factors that can shape both helping behavior and cognitive health, including wealth, physical and mental health, and education. Even after considering those influences, cognitive decline tended to slow when people started helping others and continued to do so. The researchers argue these results strengthen the case for thinking about volunteering, helping, and neighborhood connection as public health issues. This may be especially important later in life, when conditions tied to cognitive decline and harm, are more likely to develop. Taken together, these findings suggest helping others may support brain health in more than one way. As societies age and concerns about loneliness grow, the results also support continued efforts to keep people involved in ways that let them contribute, even after cognitive decline has begun. “Older adults, including those in a low state of health, often continue to make valuable contributions to those around them,” Han said, “and they may especially benefit from being provided with opportunities to help.” 8. Why does the author mention “supporting neighbors, family, or friends”? A. To exclude a certain group. B. To emphasize a relationship. C. To provide a clear example. D. To argue a specific viewpoint. 9. What does the underlined word “cumulative” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Briefly lasting. B. Randomly happening. C. Instantly occurring. D. Gradually increasing. 10. What can be inferred about the researchers’ data analysis? A. It relied on recent survey data. B. It was based on long-term tracking data. C. It focused on informal helping acts. D. It ignored key personal characteristics. 11. What is Han’s attitude toward older adults helping others? A. Approving. B. Critical. C. Cautious. D. Doubtful. D A team led by the University of Cambridge have engineered a solar-powered “artificial leaf” that could eventually help this vital industry move away from fossil fuels. Their breakthrough involves a new device that brings together light-absorbing organic polymers and bacterial enzymes (酶) to transform sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into formate, a clean fuel that can power additional chemical reactions. This “artificial leaf” copies photosynthesis (光合作用) , the natural process plants use to turn sunlight into energy and operates entirely on its own power. Unlike previous designs that relied on poisonous or unstable light absorbers, this new model uses non-poisonous materials, runs more efficiently, and remains stable without extra additives. This marks the first instance where these non-poisonous materials have served as the light-catching component in such a bio-hybrid system, preparing for a new generation of eco-friendly artificial leaves. The chemical industry remains a cornerstone of the global economy, producing a vast range of goods — from medicines to plastics, paints, electronics, and cleaning agents. “If we’re going to build a cyclic, sustainable economy, the chemical industry is a big, complex problem that we must address,” said Professor Erwin Reisner from the University of Cambridge’s Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry, who led the research. Tests showed the artificial leaf produced high currents and achieved near-perfect efficiency in directing electrons into fuel-making reactions. The device successfully ran for over 24 hours: more than twice as long as previous designs. The researchers are hoping to further develop their designs to extend the service life of the device and adapt it so it can produce different types of chemical products. “We’ve shown it’s possible to create solar-powered devices that are not only efficient and durable but also free from poisonous or unsustainable components,” said Reisner. “This could be a fundamental platform for producing green fuels and chemicals in future — it’s a real opportunity to do some exciting and important chemistry. ” 12. What is the main purpose of the artificial leaf described in paragraph 1? A. To produce clean fuel. B. To create new materials. C. To cut carbon emissions. D. To absorb more sunlight. 13. What makes the artificial leaf different from earlier designs? A. It depends on costly and rare additives. B. It combines natural and artificial materials. C. It produces electricity and chemical fuels. D. It relies on safer and more efficient materials. 14. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The devices are still lack of efficiency. B. The potential is limited to lab applications. C. The technology might have a bright future. D. The material choice may be a major concern. 15 Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Materials from the Plants Leaf B. Solar Leaf for Green Chemistry C. Fossil Fuels in Chemical Industry D. Sustainable Challenges in Economy 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。 A kind gesture is a small moment of awareness — and a decision to act.

After their father passed away two years ago, Jerry left home to pursue his career in the city, and they drifted apart. Tom always looked up to his older brother, but Jerry was too busy to stay in touch. He rarely called or visited, and Tom felt hurt by his silence. One autumn afternoon, Tom received an invitation to his high school reunion. To his surprise, Jerry was coming home as a successful architect. Tom’s heart pounded when he saw Jerry at the school building entrance. He was nervous to meet him again. As the reunion continued, Jerry noticed Tom’s shy smile every time they crossed paths. Jerry felt a twinge of guilt — he remembered the last time they spoke was when he hurriedly said good-bye at the airport five years ago, promising to come home for Christmas, a promise he never kept. During the reunion, Jerry and Tom walked around the campus together. Jerry talked excitedly about his city projects, while Tom listened quietly, occasionally asking polite questions. Jerry saw that Tom had grown taller and seemed more confident than before. Deep down, Jerry felt proud, but also a little ashamed. As they were leaving the school building, Tom sighed and said quietly, “It’s good to see you again, Jerry.” Jerry paused and looked at Tom’s face. The autumn light painted a warm glow on Tom’s eyes, which looked a little sad. Jerry recalled how their father had always hoped they would stay close. In that moment, Jerry realized how much he had missed his younger brother. The reunion crowd was gradually dispersing and the brothers stood there under the golden sky, unsure what to say next. Jerry wanted to speak, but the right words didn’t come easily. Neither brother moved for a few moments, the silence filled with years of unspoken feelings. 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。 Then Jerry stepped forward and hugged Tom tightly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Together they walked to their father’s favorite bench by the football field. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高三英语 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第二部分 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) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A 【1~3题答案】 【答案】1.

I’m sure you’ll enjoy this unforgettable experience! Looking forward to hearing from you. Yours, Li Hua 第二节 (满分25分) 【47题答案】 【答案】参考范文： Then Jerry stepped forward and hugged Tom tightly. “I’m sorry, Tom. I’ve been so caught up in my work that I forgot the most important thing — my family,” Jerry said sincerely, his voice soft with regret. Tom’s tears fell; he returned the embrace, years of loneliness melting in seconds. Around them, classmates cheered softly, but the brothers heard only each other’s heartbeat. Jerry pulled out two tickets to the city’s architecture expo and said, “Come with me this weekend. let’s start over.” Tom nodded, eyes shining with tears. “Let’s go somewhere quiet — Dad’s bench,” Jerry whispered, wiping Tom’s cheek. Together they walked to their father’s favorite bench by the football field. The autumn wind carried the scent of grass and distant laughter. Jerry showed blueprints on his phone: a small community library he designed, named after their dad. Tom suggested adding a reading corner for children, and Jerry immediately sketched it in. Side by side, they planned foundations and color schemes, laughter mixing with tears. The bench witnessed two brothers rebuilding dreams — and a promise that no distance or deadline would ever separate them again. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
