Different types of batteries such as NMC, NCA, LFP, and lead-acid are used in EVs, each with unique characteristics and applications. The table below compares four common EV battery types. BATTERY TYPES ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) High energy density, better performance Higher cost and reliance on rare materials Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminum Oxide (NCA) High energy density, long lifespan Expensive and complex manufacturing process Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) Safe, long lifecycle, cost-effective Lower energy density compared to others Lead-Acid Low cost, widely available Heavy, limited cycle life, and environmental concerns With these batteries powering not only vehicles but also energy storage systems for homes and industries, their growing use raises an equally important issue: how to recycle them efficiently to conserve critical resources and ensure environmental sustainability. China, already a major producer of EV batteries, is now expanding its reach into the battery recycling field, aiming to build a closed-loop supply chain. This system focuses on sharing, reusing, repairing, restoring, and recycling batteries to keep materials in use for as long as possible. Supported by government policies which include setting industry standards, offering financial support, and providing tax benefits, China has rapidly expanded its recycling capacity and improved resource efficiency. As the global green transition gathers pace, the ability to close the loop on critical resources like EV batteries will become an increasingly valuable advantage. To provide a broader picture, the chart on the right shows recycling capacity across different countries. 1. Which battery is both affordable and long-lasting? A. NMC. B. NCA. C. LFP. D. Lead-Acid. 2. What is the closed-loop system mainly designed to do? A. Improve product safety. B. Increase industrial output. C. Strengthen supply chain. D. Enhance material efficiency. 3. What does the chart show about battery recycling capacity? A. Germany shows steady capacity growth. B. China holds a clearly dominant position. C. The US exceeds the UK in recycling capacity. D. Australia performs poorly at energy recycling. B For a few minutes on a recent bright morning, 13-year-old John Buettner felt like a little kid again. Actually, as he lay on the netting of an inclusive playground he had helped design near Hastings, Minnesota, he said the feeling was even better. John, who was born with cerebral palsy (脑瘫) and kept out of many games, now helps a local company create play spaces for children like him. So how does a kid end up trying out playground designs? Years of watching from the sidelines, it seems. When teachers and students at Glen Lake started talking about replacing their old playground, they noticed a group of kids in wheelchairs. Realizing that the kids’ voices were missing, they wanted input from someone with real experience. So they asked John, who had often watched others play, to share his ideas. “I got roped into it,” he said. And the project — including fundraising — started gaining steam. Knocking on doors and calling local businesses netted modest donations. It was enough for one piece of equipment, but a new playground needed much more. “Then we started raising more money through bake sales and collecting coins at school,” John said. “And out of nowhere, we started getting calls from big businesses.” The success of the Glen Lake project led to something even bigger. Landscape Structures, the Delano company behind the Glen Lake playground, approached John and his teammates. They asked him whether he wanted to help test new pieces of equipment. The company says listening to disabled kids helps them design better playgrounds for everyone. John now works with a nonprofit, Minnesota Play For All, to build a playground at his middle school. Sitting in his wheelchair beside a play structure he helped test, John said he had learned something important. “Being able to tell myself that I helped with this means a lot to me,” he said. “It shows me that I can make things better — not only for myself, but for others too.” 4. What is the “inclusive playground” in paragraph 1? A. A specific center for indoor activities. B. A private zone for teachers to relax. C. A facility built with high-tech materials. D. A space accessible for all children. 5. Why was John chosen to help at first? A. He was one of the kids left out. B. He helped test early designs. C. He was a kid trusted by teachers. D. He joined in the playground talks. 6. What does paragraph 4 mainly show about John? A. He designed new facilities. B. He used different test approaches. C. He took a leading role in the project. D. He became a valued voice in design. 7. What does John’s story suggest? A. Success takes time and patience. B. Everyone follows their own path. C. One finds his power by stepping in. D. Communication brings people closer. C Small animals like kittens or puppies, a round-cheeked baby, or an adorable stuffed toy can all seem incredibly cute. They make us go, “Aww!” and want to hug or even squeeze them. Humans are naturally and universally drawn to cute things. “The visual appeal of cuteness often causes positive emotions,” says Sanam Hafeez, a neuropsychologist of Comprehend the Mind. “Psychologically, these cute features lead to feelings of affection and a desire to engage with them in a playful way.” There may even be an evolutionary basis for this. According to Konrad Lorenz, an Austrian ethologist, most things we see as cute have features that look like those of human babies. He believed that we’re just exercising our human drive to care for others when enjoying cute things, a drive that helps us survive. Cute things or people can have profound impacts on our emotions and behavior. Cuteness can flood us with feelings of love and well-being, and may cause us to behave in more childish ways. But sometimes, cuteness can lead to a seemingly opposite response — more aggressive behavior. This is known as “cuteness aggression” and may look like wanting to squeeze or tightly hug something cute. Cuteness aggression happens when overwhelming cuteness creates very strong feelings and this helps the brain deal with them so we don’t become emotionally overloaded. The feel-good qualities of cuteness are seen often in popular culture. “Cute characters, animals, and trends have become a way for people to connect and share positive feelings,” Dr. Hafeez says. “Cute emojis, stuffed animals, and cartoon characters are used in social media, advertising, and entertainment to grab attention and create an emotional bond with audiences.” Cuteness is also often harnessed in advertising and product branding, which frequently feature cute or adorable characters to attract customers. One example is animal videos and cute characters that build emotional attachment and increase loyalty to a brand. These feelings can even affect spending patterns and strengthen people’s connection to a brand or cause. 8. Why does the author cite the words of experts in paragraph 2? A. To compare theories of evolution. B. To show the importance of cuteness. C. To clarify how the brain handles feelings. D. To explain why cuteness attracts humans. 9. What do we know about cuteness aggression? A. It helps us form emotional bonds. B. It leads us to explore childish behaviors. C. It enables us to manage intense feelings. D. It makes us avoid overwhelming cuteness. 10. What does the underlined word “harnessed” probably mean in paragraph 5? A. widely used. B. Clearly described. C. easily changed. D. Visually simplified. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. What Makes Things Cute B. How Cuteness Affects Us C. Why We prefer Cute Things D. When Cuteness Wins Our hearts D Researchers at the University of Houston have achieved a groundbreaking milestone in science, showing that boron arsenide (BAs) (砷化硼) can outperform diamond in thermal conductivity (热导率). Through developing exceptionally pure BAs crystals (晶体), the team measured thermal conductivity more than 2,100 W/mK at room temperature. This result not only exceeds previous experimental data but also breaks the theoretical ceiling of approximately 1,360 W/mK. The study challenges existing theoretical models of heat transport in solids. Professor Zhifeng Ren, the corresponding author, stated: “We trust our measurement; our data is correct and that means the theory needs correction.” The discovery of the superior thermal conductivity of BAs was the result of dedicated investigation. In 2013, Boston College physicists predicted that BAs could conduct heat as efficiently as diamond. However, revised models in 2017 with a complex factor dramatically reduced predicted performance to around 1,360 W/mK. This caused many in the field to abandon the idea that BAs could exceed diamond’s conductivity. Ren’s group, however, suspected the problem wasn’t a lack of a fundamental property of the material, but the presence of impurities within it. By processing raw materials and developing improved production methods, the UH-led team created BAs crystals with significantly fewer imperfections. When tested, these high-purity samples showed a record-breaking thermal conductivity above 2,100 W/mK. The implications of this breakthrough extend far beyond laboratory measurements. BAs has the potential to revolutionize electronics and semiconductor technology. Compared to diamond, it offers easier, more cost-effective manufacturing without the need for extreme temperature or pressure. Its high carrier mobility suggests potentially superior electronic advantages over silicon. This collaborative research opens new possibilities for advanced thermal management in next-generation electronics, from smartphones to high-power applications and data centers. Although this discovery marks a new frontier, the work is ongoing. Professor Ren encourages the scientific community to reconsider existing models, noting: “You shouldn’t let a theory prevent you from discovering something even bigger, and this exactly happened in this work.” 12. What led Professor Ren to say that “the theory needs correction”? A. The initial models. B. The confirmed results. C. The revised predictions. D. The common explanations. 13. What is the key to achieving remarkable thermal conductivity in BAs? A. Exceptional purity. B. Solid structure. C. Constant temperature. D. Extreme pressure. 14. How does the author point out the advantages of BAs in paragraph 4? A. By defining a concept. B. By giving examples. C. By making a comparison. D. By providing statistics. 15. What can be inferred about the future of BAs? A. Its property will remain questionable. B. Its cost will become the main concern. C. Its advantages may ensure quick acceptance. D. Its potential may grow with further research. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Brand New You We’re always told that no one likes a show-off, but a little bit of boasting (夸耀) does us all the world of good. Once a year I teach a class on building personal brand to a group of women in the creative industries. At the start I ask each of the attendees how they feel about the phrase “personal brand”. ____16____. Most of them will tell me it feels too much like boasting. By the end of the session, however, there’s a change in mood and it always comes down to one key point that I think everyone should know. So I’m sharing it here! It’s really quite simple: acknowledging your strengths does not mean you boast yourself. ____17____. But then we do an exercise that proves my point. I put the women in pairs and give them five minutes each to talk about things they love and are good at. When I give the instructions I am greeted by looks of horror. Five minutes?! Only talking about themselves?! What if the other person thinks they’re boasting? ____18____. So is sharing it with others. And yet it’s so lovely to hear someone else share their passion. The room is filled with connection, laughter and joy. And so I tell them, and now you, if you only take one thing away from this workshop let it be this: sharing what you love and are good at-your passion-with someone else, never comes across as boasting.____19____. And if you want to feel really great today, ask someone to share what they love and are good at with you. If they only talk about what they love, encourage them to tell you why they’re good at it. ____20____. Maybe we’ll all feel better for it. A. It is a form of connection and a gift B. Almost everyone feels uneasy about it C. Many people are impressed by your passion D. Boast your strengths by building your personal brand E. Try to create a “boasting culture” in our pride-avoidant society F. When I say this in the workshop, there are always raised eyebrows G. Owning what we are good at is an unfamiliar concept in our culture 第三部分 语言知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A thank-you note arrived after my wife and I hosted some friends for dinner. It was a(n) ____21____ one. I’d been used to quick digital thanks via text or email, so I was so struck by the gesture from a busy person that I decided to commit to ____22____ thank-you notes myself. Days later after a friend invited me to lunch, my opportunity ____23____. I fired off my first thank-you notes — the start of a practice I’ve maintained for years. This habit has deepened my ____24____ across the board, even with my children. How we express ____25____ matters as much as the act itself. A quick ____26____ after a dinner or lunch date is a nice gesture. An email is also fine. But they can be done so ____27____ so these seem to mean less. The ____28____ is often as crucial as the message. And a medium that forces you to slow down, ____29____ your words, put them on paper, and ____30____ it — whether by mail or hand — carries far greater resonance (共鸣). My wife and I write hundreds of letters each year. When writing a thank-you note, a few ____31____ are enough. Thank the recipient, mentioning some ____32____ you enjoyed — for example, a fun moment or something interesting they said. And hand deliver whenever possible. ____33____ “By Hand” to show you went out of your way. Is it worth the effort? Absolutely. Finding every note I’d written my son ____34____ carefully in his backpack confirmed it. The smallest, often unrecognized ____35____ are frequently the most meaningful. A man should know this. 21.

Because Eliza had a day job, she only kept the shop open on weekends. To her grandfather, the shop was more than a place to sell books; it was a “home for the soul” where people could connect with stories and each other. However, in an era of digital reading, the shop saw few customers. Every weekend, Eliza felt trapped behind the counter, dusting books that rarely left the shelves. It ate into her free time, leaving her exhausted. One rainy Friday, I visited Eliza. She looked deeply troubled, holding a contract. She told me that a businessman, Mr. White, had offered to buy the shop to build a convenience store. “Today is the deadline,” she said with a shaky voice. “The money could change my life, but Grandpa’s dream would die. I wonder if I should just give up. It’s a failing business.” “Have you ever thought about doing some volunteer work?” I asked Eliza. She was surprised. “I’m so busy with this shop. How can I help others when I can’t even help myself?” I smiled and shared a similar experience. For years, I had been sweeping paths and picking up litter in our community park every Saturday morning. At first I saw these tasks as chores. Then one day a neighbor asked if I did volunteer work, and I said, “No, I was too busy with work, kids, and helping out in the park.” And then it hit me: helping out in the park was my volunteer work. “That change in my thinking changed everything,” I said. “You could sell this place. But by staying, you are keeping the neighborhood’s’ heart’ alive. You are not just a failing shop owner; you are a volunteer guarding the last place for real connection. Why not see the shop as your volunteer project?” Eliza fell silent. Slowly, her expression softened, and she looked at the phone on the desk. 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。 Eliza took a deep breath and picked up the phone to call Mr. White. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few months later, I walked past “The Corner Books” and decided to go inside. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 赣州市2025～2026学年度第一学期期末考试 高三英语试卷 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 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。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。 1.

Actually, as he lay on the netting of an inclusive playground he had helped design near Hastings, Minnesota, he said the feeling was even better. John, who was born with cerebral palsy (脑瘫) and kept out of many games, now helps a local company create play spaces for children like him. So how does a kid end up trying out playground designs? Years of watching from the sidelines, it seems. When teachers and students at Glen Lake started talking about replacing their old playground, they noticed a group of kids in wheelchairs. Realizing that the kids’ voices were missing, they wanted input from someone with real experience. So they asked John, who had often watched others play, to share his ideas. “I got roped into it,” he said. And the project — including fundraising — started gaining steam. Knocking on doors and calling local businesses netted modest donations. It was enough for one piece of equipment, but a new playground needed much more. “Then we started raising more money through bake sales and collecting coins at school,” John said. “And out of nowhere, we started getting calls from big businesses.” The success of the Glen Lake project led to something even bigger. Landscape Structures, the Delano company behind the Glen Lake playground, approached John and his teammates. They asked him whether he wanted to help test new pieces of equipment. The company says listening to disabled kids helps them design better playgrounds for everyone. John now works with a nonprofit, Minnesota Play For All, to build a playground at his middle school. Sitting in his wheelchair beside a play structure he helped test, John said he had learned something important. “Being able to tell myself that I helped with this means a lot to me,” he said. “It shows me that I can make things better — not only for myself, but for others too.” 4. What is the “inclusive playground” in paragraph 1? A. A specific center for indoor activities. B. A private zone for teachers to relax. C. A facility built with high-tech materials. D. A space accessible for all children. 5. Why was John chosen to help at first? A. He was one of the kids left out. B. He helped test early designs. C. He was a kid trusted by teachers. D. He joined in the playground talks. 6. What does paragraph 4 mainly show about John? A. He designed new facilities. B. He used different test approaches. C. He took a leading role in the project. D. He became a valued voice in design. 7. What does John’s story suggest? A. Success takes time and patience. B. Everyone follows their own path. C. One finds his power by stepping in. D. Communication brings people closer. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7.

Realizing that the kids’ voices were missing, they wanted input from someone with real experience. So they asked John, who had often watched others play, to share his ideas.(当Glen Lake的老师和学生开始谈论更换他们的旧游乐场时，他们注意到一群坐轮椅的孩子。意识到孩子们的声音缺失了，他们希望从有实际经验的人那里得到意见。所以他们请经常看着别人玩耍的约翰分享他的想法。)”可知，约翰最初被选中提供帮助是因为他是被排除在外的孩子之一。故选A。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中“The success of the Glen Lake project led to something even bigger. Landscape Structures, the Delano company behind the Glen Lake playground, approached John and his teammates. They asked him whether he wanted to help test new pieces of equipment. The company says listening to disabled kids helps them design better playgrounds for everyone.(Glen Lake项目的成功带来了更大的影响。Glen Lake游乐场背后的Delano公司Landscape Structures找到了约翰和他的队友。他们问他是否愿意帮忙测试新设备。该公司表示，倾听残疾儿童的意见有助于他们为每个人设计更好的游乐场。)”可知，第四段主要讲述了约翰在游乐场设计中成为了一个有价值的声音。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“John now works with a nonprofit, Minnesota Play For All, to build a playground at his middle school. Sitting in his wheelchair beside a play structure he helped test, John said he had learned something important. “Being able to tell myself that I helped with this means a lot to me,” he said. “It shows me that I can make things better—not only for myself, but for others too.”(约翰现在与非营利组织“明尼苏达全民游戏”合作，在他的中学建造一个游乐场。约翰坐在轮椅上，旁边是他帮助测试的游乐设施，他说他学到了一些重要的东西。“能够告诉自己我参与了这件事，对我来说意义重大，”他说。“这让我明白，我不仅可以让自己的生活变得更好，也可以让他人的生活变得更好。”)”可推知，约翰的故事表明，一个人通过参与可以找到自己的力量。故选C。 C Small animals like kittens or puppies, a round-cheeked baby, or an adorable stuffed toy can all seem incredibly cute. They make us go, “Aww!” and want to hug or even squeeze them. Humans are naturally and universally drawn to cute things. “The visual appeal of cuteness often causes positive emotions,” says Sanam Hafeez, a neuropsychologist of Comprehend the Mind. “Psychologically, these cute features lead to feelings of affection and a desire to engage with them in a playful way.” There may even be an evolutionary basis for this. According to Konrad Lorenz, an Austrian ethologist, most things we see as cute have features that look like those of human babies. He believed that we’re just exercising our human drive to care for others when enjoying cute things, a drive that helps us survive. Cute things or people can have profound impacts on our emotions and behavior. Cuteness can flood us with feelings of love and well-being, and may cause us to behave in more childish ways. But sometimes, cuteness can lead to a seemingly opposite response — more aggressive behavior. This is known as “cuteness aggression” and may look like wanting to squeeze or tightly hug something cute. Cuteness aggression happens when overwhelming cuteness creates very strong feelings and this helps the brain deal with them so we don’t become emotionally overloaded. The feel-good qualities of cuteness are seen often in popular culture. “Cute characters, animals, and trends have become a way for people to connect and share positive feelings,” Dr. Hafeez says. “Cute emojis, stuffed animals, and cartoon characters are used in social media, advertising, and entertainment to grab attention and create an emotional bond with audiences.” Cuteness is also often harnessed in advertising and product branding, which frequently feature cute or adorable characters to attract customers. One example is animal videos and cute characters that build emotional attachment and increase loyalty to a brand. These feelings can even affect spending patterns and strengthen people’s connection to a brand or cause. 8. Why does the author cite the words of experts in paragraph 2? A. To compare theories of evolution. B. To show the importance of cuteness. C. To clarify how the brain handles feelings. D. To explain why cuteness attracts humans. 9. What do we know about cuteness aggression? A. It helps us form emotional bonds. B. It leads us to explore childish behaviors. C. It enables us to manage intense feelings. D. It makes us avoid overwhelming cuteness. 10. What does the underlined word “harnessed” probably mean in paragraph 5? A. widely used. B. Clearly described. C. easily changed. D. Visually simplified. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. What Makes Things Cute B. How Cuteness Affects Us C. Why We prefer Cute Things D. When Cuteness Wins Our hearts 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了可爱事物对人类情绪和行为的影响。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Humans are naturally and universally drawn to cute things. “The visual appeal of cuteness often causes positive emotions,” says Sanam Hafeez, a neuropsychologist of Comprehend the Mind. “Psychologically, these cute features lead to feelings of affection and a desire to engage with them in a playful way.” There may even be an evolutionary basis for this. According to Konrad Lorenz, an Austrian ethologist, most things we see as cute have features that look like those of human babies. He believed that we’re just exercising our human drive to care for others when enjoying cute things, a drive that helps us survive.(人类天生就普遍地被可爱的事物所吸引。“可爱的视觉吸引力常常会引发积极的情绪，”Comprehend the Mind心里机构的神经心理学家萨纳姆·哈菲兹说。“从心理上讲，这些可爱的特征会让人产生喜爱之情，并渴望以一种有趣的方式与它们互动。”这甚至可能有进化上的依据。根据奥地利动物行为学家康拉德·洛伦兹的说法，我们觉得可爱的大多数东西都有像人类婴儿一样的特征。他认为，当我们享受可爱的事物时，我们只是在行使人类照顾他人的本能，这种本能有助于我们生存。)”可知，作者引用专家的话是为了解释为什么可爱的事物会吸引人类。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“But sometimes, cuteness can lead to a seemingly opposite response—more aggressive behavior. This is known as “cuteness aggression” and may look like wanting to squeeze or tightly hug something cute. Cuteness aggression happens when overwhelming cuteness creates very strong feelings and this helps the brain deal with them so we don’t become emotionally overloaded.(但有时，可爱会导致一种看似相反的反应——更具攻击性的行为。这被称为“可爱侵略”，可能表现为想要挤压或紧紧拥抱可爱的东西。可爱侵略发生在压倒性的可爱产生非常强烈的情感时，这有助于大脑处理这些情感，这样我们就不会情绪过载。)”可知，可爱侵略使我们能够管理强烈的情感。故选C。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Cuteness is also often harnessed in advertising and product branding, which frequently feature cute or adorable characters to attract customers. One example is animal videos and cute characters that build emotional attachment and increase loyalty to a brand.

They make us go, “Aww!” and want to hug or even squeeze them.(像小猫或小狗这样的小动物，一个脸颊圆圆的婴儿，或者一个可爱的毛绒玩具，看起来都非常可爱。它们让我们说，“哇！”想要拥抱甚至挤压它们)”和第二段中“Humans are naturally and universally drawn to cute things.(人类天生就普遍喜欢可爱的事物。)”可知，文章主要介绍了可爱事物对人类情绪和行为的影响，“可爱如何影响我们”适合作为文章标题。故选B。 D Researchers at the University of Houston have achieved a groundbreaking milestone in science, showing that boron arsenide (BAs) (砷化硼) can outperform diamond in thermal conductivity (热导率). Through developing exceptionally pure BAs crystals (晶体), the team measured thermal conductivity more than 2,100 W/mK at room temperature. This result not only exceeds previous experimental data but also breaks the theoretical ceiling of approximately 1,360 W/mK. The study challenges existing theoretical models of heat transport in solids. Professor Zhifeng Ren, the corresponding author, stated: “We trust our measurement; our data is correct and that means the theory needs correction.” The discovery of the superior thermal conductivity of BAs was the result of dedicated investigation. In 2013, Boston College physicists predicted that BAs could conduct heat as efficiently as diamond. However, revised models in 2017 with a complex factor dramatically reduced predicted performance to around 1,360 W/mK. This caused many in the field to abandon the idea that BAs could exceed diamond’s conductivity. Ren’s group, however, suspected the problem wasn’t a lack of a fundamental property of the material, but the presence of impurities within it. By processing raw materials and developing improved production methods, the UH-led team created BAs crystals with significantly fewer imperfections. When tested, these high-purity samples showed a record-breaking thermal conductivity above 2,100 W/mK. The implications of this breakthrough extend far beyond laboratory measurements. BAs has the potential to revolutionize electronics and semiconductor technology. Compared to diamond, it offers easier, more cost-effective manufacturing without the need for extreme temperature or pressure. Its high carrier mobility suggests potentially superior electronic advantages over silicon. This collaborative research opens new possibilities for advanced thermal management in next-generation electronics, from smartphones to high-power applications and data centers. Although this discovery marks a new frontier, the work is ongoing. Professor Ren encourages the scientific community to reconsider existing models, noting: “You shouldn’t let a theory prevent you from discovering something even bigger, and this exactly happened in this work.” 12. What led Professor Ren to say that “the theory needs correction”? A. The initial models. B. The confirmed results. C. The revised predictions. D. The common explanations. 13. What is the key to achieving remarkable thermal conductivity in BAs? A. Exceptional purity. B. Solid structure. C. Constant temperature. D. Extreme pressure. 14. How does the author point out the advantages of BAs in paragraph 4? A. By defining a concept. B. By giving examples. C. By making a comparison. D. By providing statistics. 15. What can be inferred about the future of BAs? A. Its property will remain questionable. B. Its cost will become the main concern. C. Its advantages may ensure quick acceptance. D. Its potential may grow with further research. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15.

Because Eliza had a day job, she only kept the shop open on weekends. To her grandfather, the shop was more than a place to sell books; it was a “home for the soul” where people could connect with stories and each other. However, in an era of digital reading, the shop saw few customers. Every weekend, Eliza felt trapped behind the counter, dusting books that rarely left the shelves. It ate into her free time, leaving her exhausted. One rainy Friday, I visited Eliza. She looked deeply troubled, holding a contract. She told me that a businessman, Mr. White, had offered to buy the shop to build a convenience store. “Today is the deadline,” she said with a shaky voice. “The money could change my life, but Grandpa’s dream would die. I wonder if I should just give up. It’s a failing business.” “Have you ever thought about doing some volunteer work?” I asked Eliza. She was surprised. “I’m so busy with this shop. How can I help others when I can’t even help myself?” I smiled and shared a similar experience. For years, I had been sweeping paths and picking up litter in our community park every Saturday morning. At first I saw these tasks as chores. Then one day a neighbor asked if I did volunteer work, and I said, “No, I was too busy with work, kids, and helping out in the park.” And then it hit me: helping out in the park was my volunteer work. “That change in my thinking changed everything,” I said. “You could sell this place. But by staying, you are keeping the neighborhood’s’ heart’ alive. You are not just a failing shop owner; you are a volunteer guarding the last place for real connection. Why not see the shop as your volunteer project?” Eliza fell silent. Slowly, her expression softened, and she looked at the phone on the desk. 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。 Eliza took a deep breath and picked up the phone to call Mr. White. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few months later, I walked past “The Corner Books” and decided to go inside. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Eliza took a deep breath and picked up the phone to call Mr. White. “Mr. White, I’ve decided not to sell the shop,” she said firmly. “This place is more than just a business to me; it’s a place where people can connect and share stories. I want to keep it alive, even if it means working harder.” Mr. White seemed surprised but respected her decision. Eliza felt a weight lift off her shoulders as she hung up the phone, knowing she had made the right choice. A few months later, I walked past “The Corner Books” and decided to go inside. To my delight, the shop was bustling with customers. Eliza greeted me with a warm smile as I entered. “Look at all these people!” she exclaimed proudly. “I’ve started hosting reading clubs and storytelling sessions, and it's become a real community hub.” I was thrilled to see that her dedication had paid off, and “The Corner Books” had truly become the heart of the neighborhood, just as her grandfather had envisioned. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Eliza经营着祖父留给她的书店，但生意惨淡。一位名叫怀特先生的商人想要购店建便利店，Eliza面临抉择。在作者的启发下，Eliza开始将书店视为守护邻里间真实连接的志愿项目，最终目光落在桌上电话上，似有了决定。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“Eliza深吸一口气，拿起电话打给怀特先生。”可知，第一段可以描写Eliza打电话时的心理与语气，明确表达不卖书店的决定，交代她做出这一选择的原因，以及挂断电话后如释重负的心情。 ②由第二段句首内容“几个月后，我路过“街角书店”，决定进去看看。”可知，第二段可以描写作者再次走进书店的所见所闻，书店热闹的场景，Eliza的经营新举措，最后点明她的坚持获得回报，升华书店成为社区中心的主旨。 2.续写线索：Eliza下定决心致电买家——Eliza坚定表明不卖书店——Eliza阐明坚守书店的缘由——Eliza挂断电话如释重负——数月后作者重回书店——见证书店重焕生机，成就社区核心 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①决定不卖店：decide not to sell the shop/make up her mind not to dispose of the store ②挂电话：hang up the phone/end the call ③进入书店：enter the bookstore/step into the shop 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprised/astonished/amazed ②自豪：proudly/with pride 【点睛】【高分句型1】This place is more than just a business to me; it’s a place where people can connect and share stories.
