B During their term, each recent poet laureate (桂冠诗人) has developed a project to bring poetry to people who might not otherwise experience it. Limón, America’s first Latina poet laureate, wanted her project to be tied to nature. She asked herself how she could create moments where people might come across a poem while outdoors. The result is an exhibit of picnic tables marked with poems by a variety of contemporary writers. This initiative is being launched at seven national parks this summer. For Limón, national parks are places of “intentional nature,” destinations people seek out to experience a different state of mind, to clear their thoughts or to search for wonder. Like nature, poetry invites the mind to wander and step away from daily concerns. “Poetry is a place that holds so much mystery. It makes room for the unknown and for the messy thoughts of the mind,” she explains. Each picnic table also poses a question: “What would you say in response to the landscape around you?” Limón invited 50 poets to reflect on this idea and gathered their responses into a collection titled You Are Here. The book offers a broader view of the outdoors, where a neighborhood ginkgo (银杏) is just as meaningful as a mountain peak. Unlike older traditions, she wanted the work to embrace a wider perspective. “You see a colonial (殖民的), idealistic control of the land in those older poems, or the idea that nature exists only for the poet to observe it. What pride, when in truth nature is observing us as well.” This summer, Limón will visit each of the seven parks receiving a picnic table as part of the project. She is especially eager to see the redwoods of Northern California, where Francisco X. Alarcón’s Never Alone will be featured. Limón looks forward to her own shift in perspective among the world’s tallest trees. “I’m deeply interested in feeling small,” she says. “It’s good for my mind. I can feel big and powerful in daily life, but in the redwoods, I feel like the tiniest dot.” 4. What is the purpose of Limón’s picnic table project? A. To promote tourism in national parks. B. To replace traditional poetry exhibitions. C. To help people encounter poetry outdoors. D. To restrict poetry reading to certain places. 5. How are nature and poetry similar according to Limón? A. Both serve as spaces for mental escape. B. Both rely on colonial traditions of writing. C. Both demand scientific observation of details. D. Both prevent people from feeling insignificant. 6. What is Limón’s attitude towards older nature poems? A. Approving. B. Critical. C. Objective. D. Unclear. 7. What can be learned about Limón from the last paragraph? A. She intends to replace Alarcón’s work. B. She dislikes looking strong in daily life. C. She hopes to publish more poems about tall trees. D. She values feeling humbled by nature’s greatness. C In the past thirty years, bee numbers in the United Kingdom have fallen by nearly a third. The main reasons are climate change and the loss of natural habitats. These changes make it hard for bees to find enough pollen (花粉) and nectar (花蜜). Pollen is important because it gives bees proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Without these nutrients, bees cannot stay healthy. Beekeepers sometimes give bees extra food, but these supplements lack all the nutrients bees need. As a result, the lack of good food has become a serious problem for honeybees. To solve this, scientists led by Professor Geraldine Wright from the University of Oxford worked to design better food. The challenge was that bees need special nutrients called sterols, which are not easy to make. The team studied which sterols bees need, and then found a way to produce them. They created a type of yeast (酵母) that can make all six sterols. The next step was to prepare the food in a form bees would accept. Since bees are fussy eaters who turn their noses up at unsuitable food, the team made a soft “cookie dough” mixture with bee-friendly ingredients. The scientists tested the new food in glasshouses. The results were impressive. Colonies that ate the food produced up to fifteen times more young bees than colonies that did not. These young bees also grew into healthy adults. The bees with the new diet lived longer, cared for their young better, and were stronger against diseases. This showed the food could greatly improve bee growth and survival. Wright called it “a huge breakthrough for the species.” The study has important significance for both bees and people. With this new food, bees will not need to fight so much for wildflowers. This can help bee populations recover and become stronger. Since bees are key pollinators (授粉者) for many crops, protecting them also helps protect human food supplies. If the food is used on a larger scale, it could be a big step toward saving bees and supporting global food security. 8. What can we learn about common bee supplements from paragraph 1? A. They are made from natural pollen. B. They are too expensive for beekeepers. C. They are nutritionally insufficient for bees. D. They are harmful for bees’ digestive systems. 9. What does the underlined word “fussy” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Picky. B. Quiet. C. Big. D. Fast 10. What does the glasshouse test suggest about the new food? A. It tastes better than natural nectar. B. It makes young bees grow much faster. C. It works best in a controlled environment. D. It boosts bees’ population and well-being. 11. What is the potential significance of the study? A. It encourages people to keep bees. B. It helps safeguard human food sources. C. It indicates environmental health condition. D. It removes bees’ dependence on wildflowers. D Readers on social media are making the beauty of reading more visible than ever with creative and often complicated annotations (批注). Called marginalia, these markups can be detailed, with notes that nearly fill full pages and even match the color of the book’s cover. This practice has started a lively debate: are marginalia a beneficial reading habit, or do they simply ruin books? But marginalia are far from a modern invention. Centuries ago, Leonardo da Vinci wrote down his thoughts on gravity in the margins (页边空白) of his Codex Arundel, anticipating Galileo’s work by years. In literature, early editions of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice often contain annotations from 19th-century readers, capturing emotional responses that mirror those of today’s readers. More recently, celebrated novelist Ann Patchett released an annotated edition of Tom Lake, allowing her to revisit her writing while offering readers a unique “behind-the-scenes” look into her creative process. Modern neuroscience now confirms the mental benefits of this age-old habit. A study in Frontiers in Psychology found that handwriting boosts memory and deepens comprehension of the text. Extending this finding, Professor Maryanne Wolf suggests that through marginalia, readers not only absorb the author’s wisdom but also uncover their own insights. Furthermore, annotation has evolved into a medium for dialogue with the self and a bridge to others. Marcela, a Bookstagrammer, explains. “You can literally see how my views on characters evolve through my notes, and I love being able to look back at my early plot predictions.” Moreover, it is now common for readers to gift annotated books as personalized presents and hunt for secondhand copies bearing the notes of previous readers or even the authors, transforming a finished book into a dynamic, co-created text. So, if the book-fluencers fill their books with a colorful chaos of thoughts, why not let them? After all, in the pursuit of deeper understanding and connection, a few untidy margins seem a small price to pay. 12. What practice is mentioned in the first paragraph? A. Writing personal notes in books. B. Sharing helpful reading habits. C. Posting reading moments online. D. Designing beautiful book covers. 13. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about regarding marginalia? A. Their modern artistic value. B. Their well-recognized figures. C. Their use in classic literature. D. Their long-standing presence. 14. Why do some readers buy secondhand annotated books? A. To honor famous authors. B. To collect rare editions. C. To connect with past thoughts. D. To find out correct predictions. 15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Response to Annotated Critics B. Messy Margins, Meaningful minds C. The Neuroscience Behind Marginalia D. Annotated Pages, forgotten Stories 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。 We live in an age when short dramas (短剧) slip easily into the gaps of daily life. ____16____ Like quick flashes of light, they deliver instant excitement and clearly defined emotions. In just a few minutes, a conflict appears, rises, and disappears, offering immediate satisfaction with little demand on our time. In a fast-paced world, they have become a natural companion. Yet what comes quickly often fades (消逝) just as quickly. Short dramas rush from scene to scene, leaving little room for thought to settle. Characters may seem vivid, but they remain shallow — more like sketches than true portraits. Problems are solved before they are fully experienced. ____17____ Gradually, watching turns into a habit of easy consumption rather than active reflection. The human mind is not built for endless speed. Beneath the desire for quick pleasure lies a deeper need — to understand, to feel, and to think. We long for meaning that unfolds slowly, emotions that stay with us, and stories that reflect our own struggles. ____18____ A film invites us to slow down. When the screen darkens, time seems to stretch. Scenes are allowed to breathe. Silence begins to speak. Characters grow through choices, mistakes, and moments of waiting. Meaning is not delivered all at once but revealed gently, like light at dawn. Films do not rush viewers forward. ____19____ Think of the white feather drifting in Forrest Gump. Recall Andy Dufresne standing in the rain in The Shawshank Redemption, arms open, finally free. ____20____ Beyond the fast stream of short dramas lies the deep river of cinema — quiet, powerful, and always worth entering. A. Their primary appeal lies in speed. B. Viewers are entertained, but seldom challenged. C. But not all people experience it in the same way. D. These films are produced to offer quick relaxation. E. Such moments stay with us long after the screen falls silent. F. Instead, they draw us inward, asking for thought beyond the moment. G. It is this quiet hunger that draws us toward the wider world of cinema. 第二部分 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 carefree daughters should have been a gift to my task-driven nature, but I was too busy to see it.

From then on, I began giving them a little more time to ____30____ if we had to go somewhere. And when they ____31____ to admire something on the way, I would ____32____ my schedule and simply observe them. I ____33____ expressions on their face I’d never seen before. That’s when I finally realized they were a ____34____ to my anxious soul. I gave my daughters a little time, and in return, they taught me that ____35____ comes easier when you stop rushing through life. 21. A. followed B. interrupted C. determined D. completed 22. A.

Tibetan antelopes have long been hunted ____37____ their soft fur, used to make luxury shawls (坎肩) and scarves. As a result, their population ____38____ (drop) sharply — from around one million to just 65,000 in the 1990s. ____39____ (fortunate), conservation measures have helped the species recover in recent years. To further protect them, scientists developed a four-legged robot ____40____ (arm) with cameras and artificial intelligence (AI). The AI system allows the robot to copy animal behavior and fit in with the herds, thus enabling scientists to observe the antelopes’ natural ____41____ (activity)from a distance without disturbing or frightening them.

With only a few quick lines, the cartoonist turned him into a big-headed, cheerful character in seconds. That moment planted a seed in Oliver’s heart. He decided to learn this “magic” himself. For the next two weeks, he practiced every day, following simple rules he had read about: make big features bigger and leave out small details. When the school announced its art fair, Oliver knew he would draw his best friend, Emily. He began with confidence. He turned Emily’s curly hair into a messy pile of spaghetti (意大利面) and made her braces (牙套) look like shiny metal bricks. Stepping back, Oliver felt proud. The picture was funny and clever, and at the art fair it even won a judge’s sticker. But his pride disappeared when he saw Emily standing in front of the picture, frozen. When she turned around, her eyes were full of tears. “Why would you draw me like this?” she asked. Before Oliver could answer, she hurried away, leaving him with a heavy feeling in his stomach. That afternoon, Oliver went back to the pizza shop and showed the cartoonist the picture. The man studied it for a moment. “You drew what she looks like,” he said gently, “but not who she is.” Oliver carried those words home with him. When he looked at the drawing again, he did not see funny lines anymore. He saw the real Emily — the girl who loved music and played the violin with passion, the girl whose warm smile could light up a room. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按所给格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: That night, Oliver started a new picture. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next morning, Oliver handed the new drawing to Emily. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2026年光明区高三期末调研考试 英语 本试卷共8页，满分120分，考试用时120分钟。 第一部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 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 strongly support this idea. First, fun team sports can bring students closer, which helps build a friendly class atmosphere. I believe that cooperation in games will make our class more united. Second, these activities are suitable for everyone, including students who are not good at traditional races. What matters most is that everyone can join in and enjoy themselves instead of just watching. Besides, such events can reduce pressure and make the sports meet more colorful. I hope that our school will take this suggestion and create a more wonderful sports meeting for all of us. 第二节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】One possible version: Paragraph 1: That night, Oliver started a new picture. He erased the exaggerated spaghetti hair and metal braces, focusing instead on Emily’s true spirit. With gentle strokes, he drew her holding her violin, eyes closed in passion, capturing the music she loved. He highlighted her warm smile that could light up a room, ensuring every line reflected her kindness rather than just her appearance. This time, he didn’t just draw what she looked like; he poured his understanding of who she was onto the paper, aiming to show her soul, not just her surface. Paragraph 2: The next morning, Oliver handed the new drawing to Emily. Her eyes widened as she traced the violin and the genuine smile he had captured. Tears welled up, but this time they were tears of joy. “This is me,” she whispered, looking at him with gratitude. Oliver smiled, realizing that true art reveals the subject’s heart. Their friendship was restored, stronger than before, bonded by a deeper understanding and the knowledge that he truly saw her. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
