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. “Many older adults 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 argue a specific viewpoint. D. To provide a clear example. 9. What does the underlined word “cumulative” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Briefly lasting. B. Randomly happening. C. Gradually increasing. D. Instantly occurring. 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 in poor health 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 create new materials. B. To produce clean fuel. 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. Solar Leaf for Green Chemistry B. Materials from the Plants’ Leaf 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。 Skiing isn’t a sport that takes an hour to learn — it takes a lifetime. ____16____ Just look at how professional ski instructors take lessons every year. If you’re just starting out, remember that there is a lifetime of improvement ahead of you. With that in mind, here are some tips to make your first turn count and set you up for that lifelong ride.

If you rush onwards and skip bits that you don’t like, you may find yourself struggling on the third day and have to go back to the drawing board. After all, you can’t build a strong house with bad foundations. Don’t be afraid to fall. As a beginner, falling is a part of learning. ____20____ Learning to fall safely and get back up is a fundamental skill that makes you a better skier. If you fall, self-arrest yourself so that you don’t slide down the slope and either run into or over something. A. Master the basics first. B. Be confident in the beginning. C. Each fall is a lesson in balance and recovery. D. Many professional skiers fall if they push their limits. E. Even the most skilled skiers are finding ways to improve. F.

He worked hard at a local sawmill (锯木厂) just trying to make ends meet. One December day, he’d been working for hours when the main machine suddenly broke down. The foreman (领班) told him to go home and said that it might take several weeks to fix the machine. David walked to his old truck with heavy feet as he knew that he would have no pay for a few weeks. The bills were waiting — lights, rent and food for the kids. He sat in his truck for nearly half an hour, trying to steady his breathing, wipe the worry from his face, and shape the right words for his wife. Only when his reflection looked calm, and the words “It’ll be tight, but we’ll manage” were ready on his tongue, did he finally start the truck and drive away from the mill. The road home was long and the engine sounded tired. Half-way, David saw the gas needle on empty. His heart sank. He reached into his pocket and only found fifty dollars — his last money. He had saved it for milk and bread, but now he needed gas to get home. He sighed deeply and pulled into a small station. The station owner William came out to his window and asked if he wanted to fill up the tank. David looked at his old truck and then remembered the empty fridge at home. He thanked William but said he only needed thirty-five dollars worth of gas. He added that he was off the job for the next few weeks. William nodded and put the nozzle (喷嘴) into the truck’s tank and started pumping the gas. When the numbers on the pump reached thirty-five dollars, William stopped. Back in the truck, David turned the key. Just then he noticed a brown wallet lying beside the gas pump. He picked it up and found it heavy with cash and cards. 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。 Without hesitation, David carried the wallet to William inside the station. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Greatly moved, William felt a strong urge to help David. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高三英语学科核心素养训练 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1. 5分，满分7. 5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

Firstly, a broad range of knowledge helps us build a comprehensive worldview, enabling us to connect different subjects and think creatively. For example, combining biology with art can inspire innovative scientific illustrations. Secondly, in an era of rapid change, diverse skills increase our adaptability. We may face cross-disciplinary challenges in future careers, and a wide knowledge base prepares us better. Therefore, focusing on learning breadth lays a solid foundation for our long-term development. 第二节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】范文 Without hesitation, David carried the wallet to William inside the station. He carefully handed it to the station owner, explaining that he had found it beside the gas pump after finishing refueling. William opened the wallet and found a large sum of cash, several credit cards and an ID card, which could help find the owner quickly. He looked at David with admiration, saying that it was rare to see such honesty, especially when David was facing a tough time with no income for weeks. David just shook his head gently, saying he could never take what didn’t belong to him. Greatly moved, William felt a strong urge to help David. He stopped David who was about to get into his truck and handed him some cash, telling him it was a little help for his family. He also offered David a part-time job at the station, saying he could work here afternoons to earn extra money until the sawmill machine was fixed. David’s eyes were filled with tears of gratitude, thanking William again and again. He felt a warm light in his heart, knowing that they would get through the hard winter together. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
