Today, that vision is a reality. “Clean energy” covers various technologies — here are five ways to use virtually limitless power sources: CLEAN ENERGY SOLAR Solar panels have become less expensive and more efficient in recent years. That’s making it more competitive with other technologies and driving a rapid growth in solar adoption. WIND Wind machines produce the lowest-priced renewable energy. In places with enough wind, it can be cost-competitive without government allowance, and it may even be cheaper than fossil fuels. BIOMASS Biomass (生物质) energy originates from living or recently living organisms — everything from forest residue to algae and switchgrass. GEOTHERMAL Geothermal (地热) energy taps into the internal heat of the earth — from hot water just below the ground to steam produced much further down. WATERPOWER Falling or running water is one of the oldest energy sources in the world. When sustainably designed, it can be a reliable clean energy. Technological innovations and new financing methods are making renewable energy more accessible than ever before. As a result, these energy sources are expected to account for half of our global energy mix by 2030. Here are the details: Renewable Energy Generation: 2012 vs.2030/TWh “I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that,” Thomas Edison said in 1931. His far-sighted idea has become real progress — the world’s shift to renewable energy is growing fast. This helps the world meet its increasing power needs in a more sustainable way, and build a cleaner, healthier, and brighter future. 21. Which type of clean energy has the lowest cost? A. Solar. B. Wind. C. Waterpower. D. Geothermal. 22. How much is the expected growth in biomass generation from 2012 to 2030? A. 3,100 TWh. B. 3,646 TWh. C.4,000 TWh. D.4,900 TWh. 23. Why does the author quote Edison? A. To warn of the energy shortage. B. To honor his great contributions. C. To appreciate the evolution of energy. D. To reflect the crucial role of coal at his time. B If you love art, “Picasso” speaks a lot. Pablo Picasso (1881—1973) wasn’t just an exceptional painter; he was a sculptor, printmaker, stage designer ... Due to his amazing skills, he became an outstanding figure in all of these fields. One of Picasso’s amazing feats was representing realism and contemporary culture through art. He, along with Georges Braque, gave birth to cubism — one of the most revolutionary movements in modern art, paving the way for nearly all abstract art that followed. His exploration of art did not stop with cubism as he wanted to make something more inspirational, and thus came into existence — Collage (拼贴画) . Collage was a different kind of art in which Picasso incorporated several signs and used some metaphorical terms to give them a concrete meaning. Picasso received training from his father, who was an art teacher and a painter. At the age of16, Picasso had already lost a liking to traditional art techniques and desired to introduce something new. His search began when he joined the Academy of San Fernando in Madrid. He experimented with different styles of art and explored grounds like still life, portraits, mythological scenes, and landscapes. His work was daring and he always preferred to use innovative perspective. Picasso also produced sculptures and took an interest in theatrical productions. His most remarkable and politically charged work was “Guernica”, produced in response to the Spanish Civil War when the town suffered a terrifying bombing. To this day, it is a classic representation of war horrors. On April 8, 1973, Picasso passed away in the city of Mougins, France, leaving behind a treasure of art that is celebrated still to this day. 24. What does the underlined word “feats” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Dreams. B. Achievements. C. Discoveries. D. Inspirations. 25. What was the driving force behind Picasso’s artistic exploration? A. His pursuit of innovation. B. His training in the Academy. C. His admiration for his father. D. His loyalty to traditional art. 26. What was Picasso’s intention in creating “Guernica”? A. To show his artistic talent. B. To speak out against wartime violence. C. To record a historical event. D. To pour out personal emotional pain. 27. Which of the following best describes Picasso? A. Pioneering and all-round. B. Creative and ambitious. C. Talented and consistent. D. Successful and realistic. C Penguins are some of the world’s most familiar and beloved birds, but southern rockhoppers are the tough guys of the penguin world. Their fondness for colonies (聚居地) high over thousands of feet separates them from the other penguin species that prefer soft, level ground in the Falklands. One evening, I struggle to keep up with some scientists as they march through thick grass in the Falklands. They are looking for rockhoppers that have pencil-case-size black boxes taped to their backs and collecting those boxes, which contain GPS data loggers (记录仪). Some also track diving and heart-rate information. Later, in the scientists’ field station, we gather around a computer screen, analyzing the collected data, which will give us a critical read on ocean conditions, revealed by the birds’ responses. With a lifespan of 10 to 15 years, the species can withstand the occasional disaster and rebuild their population over time. But as colonies damaged by human activities struggle to recover, a string of disasters has knocked them down. Despite their bravery, rockhoppers are highly sensitive. Research by these scientists shows that even a small increase in sea temperature can affect the birds’ food supply and lower chick and adult survival. Besides, changing weather is causing unseasonably intense storms, killing chicks who haven’t yet grown their thick, waterproof feathers. However, moving to cooler water isn’t an option. The constant winds there would push the little penguins into the icy coasts of Antarctica, and there’s no land where they could build new colonies. These scientists are trying to re-establish the native grass. “It may be impossible to stop the changes sweeping their ocean habitats,” Quillfeldt, a seabird ecologist says. “But to help them on land, at the breeding (繁殖) sites, is something we can actually do.” Thinking of the young rockhopper leaping over a fearful gap, I ask the scientists: Can rockhoppers’ courage be an advantage for their survival? Quillfeldt feels it may. Curiosity and bravery can encourage seabirds to find ways to adapt. Don’t forget they’ve got attitude. 28. What is the function of the black boxes on the rockhoppers’ backs? A. To locate GPS data loggers. B. To distinguish birds’ responses. C. To analyze the survival rate. D. To record data about ocean conditions. 29. What may bring a challenge to rockhoppers’ population? A. Their lengthy lifespan. B. Their fondness for high rocks. C. Their thick waterproof feathers. D. Their sensitivity to the climate change. 30. What could be a practical way to help rockhoppers according to paragraph 4? A. Establish new colonies. B. Improve the breeding sites. C. Stop the environmental changes. D. Move to the coasts of Antarctica. 31. What is the author’s attitude toward rockhoppers’ future? A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Dismissive. D. Reserved. D Under the autumn sky of Tuohula Xinjiang, golden rice stalks wave gently. Ayinigeer Tuoheti, a 28-year-old computer science graduate, wanders through the fields, checking the ripening crop. Her digital skills are bridging the divide between her family's traditional rice business and the modern age. In 2020, Ayinigeer returned home to assist her father — who’d built a 1994 rice processing plant but his health weakened and struggled with business communications. She found the family’s work stuck in the backward reality - the ledger book, handwritten records, and carbon paper. She resolved to transform the business. First, she turned their small farmer cooperative into a company. Exploiting her computer background, she automated invoicing, inventory, and order processing, shifting all work to electronic systems. To secure high-quality rice, she partnered with over 120 households, who transferred the management rights of their land to her company. Her company provided seeds and training, bought harvests above market prices, and shared profits-boosting farmers’ incomes while ensuring premium raw materials. In 2023, she tried livestreaming on electronic sales platform. With a smartphone, she presented viewers with local rice fields, processing plants, and family meals with their local products. The initial phase was tough, but local governments trained her in livestreaming skills. Their authenticity won audience: daily orders grew from 12 to hundreds. Now, From March to September this year, they had 180,000 orders through live streaming, with 7,000 on a single day — that’s nearly 35 tons of rice moving directly from their fields to households across China. The numbers tell the resulting. In early 2024, influencers from across China were reaching out to us, she said. “They wanted to partner with us because our product had proven appealing.” The phenomenal success of Ayinigeer’s livestreaming, however, stems not just from technology, but Tuohula’s rice quality: Wensu’s temperature swings, selenium-rich soil, and Tianshan snowmelt water make it sweet and aromatic. Local farming is 98% mechanized, and a1998 seed base （investing 1 million yuan yearly） develops high-quality varieties — including the seeds Ayinigeer uses. 32. What did Ayinigeer do first to improve the family business? A. She inspected crops personally. B. She started livestreaming on Douyin. C. She modernized the operation system. D. She partnered with over 120 local households. 33. Why could Ayinigeer’s sales model attract viewers? A. She offered very low rice prices. B. She used professional broadcasting equipment. C. She presented authentic rice production scenes. D. She accumulated many followers before livestreaming. 34. What can we infer about Tuohula’s rice? A. It is popular all over the world. B. It is only sold in southern Xinjiang. C. Its production cost is much lower than average. D. Local natural conditions contributed to its popularity. 35. Which is the most appropriate title? A. Quality Rice Boosts Agriculture B. Livestreaming Makes Rice Famous C. Graduate Succeeds in Rice Business D. Digital Skills Revive Hometown Rice 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。 Maintaining Rhythm and Happiness in Final Year For students navigating the intensity of final-year studies, happiness is a luxury that you cannot afford during this critical period. However, happiness is not the absence of stress, but a sense of controlled progress and inner peace cultivated within the demanding environment. 36 Why should you prioritize the cultivation of happiness? In an age of prevalent stress, actively safeguarding this happiness is essential. Chronic anxiety and burnout impair cognitive function, and even hurt your academic performance. Research confirms that greater happiness is associated with better physical health, stronger resilience (韧性), and more fulfilling relationships. 37 To achieve this, begin with intentionally designing your daily rhythm. This means scheduling not only study sessions but also breaks. 38 These acts are not time wasted; they are strategic resets that prevent mental fatigue and sustain concentration. For instance, a ten-minute walk after a 90-minute study block can significantly clear mental fog, thus improving efficiency in the next session. 39 While academic goals are vital, defining your self-worth only by test scores is a fragile foundation. Instead, consciously connecting your daily effort to larger personal growth such as problem-solving skills fosters a better sense of accomplishment. This shift from a purely outcome-based to a process-oriented perspective transforms the journey into a source of satisfaction. In fact, maintaining your own rhythm in senior year is an act of wise self-management. It involves protecting your mental space through structured balance and reframing (重构) the purpose of your effort. 40 Then, you are empowered to perform at your best when it matters most. A. Perspective is key, too. B. Self-worth also matters. C. You’ll find all your stress disappear without a trace. D. It is a feeling of moving forward at a sustainable pace. E. They can be brief walks, mindful breathing, or a favorite hobby. F. Thus, investing in happiness can energize you in all aspects of our lives. G. By doing so, you’ll harvest both academic knowledge and sustainable happiness. 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I never really noticed my father’s hands until I was leaving for college. They were rough, covered with calluses (老茧), and marked with tiny scars. For years, those hands had been the 41 of our family, working quietly behind the scenes. As a carpenter, he spent his days 42 wood into furniture. But to me, he was just “Dad” — the man who came home smelling of sawdust. That final morning, as he helped load my suitcase into the car, I watched him struggle with the zipper (拉链). His thick fingers, so 43 at handling heavy tools, fumbled (笨拙地操作) with the small metal tab. It was a small moment, but it 44 me. It suddenly hit me that the hands that could build a bookshelf couldn’t 45 a simple suitcase zipper. There was a profound irony (讽刺) in that image: the 46 between his professional capability and this small personal failure. During the long drive, I sat in the back, 47 him from a new perspective. I noticed how he gripped the steering wheel, his knuckles white. I thought about all the 48 those hands had lifted — the lumber, the tools, the financial burden of raising a family. They had never 49 a heavy load. When we finally arrived and said our goodbyes, he gave me a quick, firm hug. Then, he did something 50 . He took my hand, placed it in his, and just held it for a second. His palm was a landscape of rough terrain against my smooth skin. In that silent 51 , I felt the weight of his unspoken love — a love that was never about words, but about 52 . It was the love of a man who showed his heart not through poetry, but through the things he built and the family he 53 . Years later, when people ask me what love looks like, I don’t describe 54 or grand gestures. I simply close my eyes and 55 my father’s hands — strong, scarred, and full of a devotion that words could never capture. 41. A. tools B. backbone C. symbol D. decoration 42.

Mr. and Mrs. Lee moved into the apartment next door in early September. At first, we exchanged polite smiles when passing by, but things changed soon. My younger brother, Tom, was crazy about playing the drums. He’d been dreaming of joining the school’s music band and practiced hard every evening right after finishing his homework, usually from 5 pm to 6 pm. He said the loud beats helped him release stress from a day of studying. However, our thin apartment walls turned his practice sessions into a headache for the Lees. Mrs. Lee worked night shifts at the hospital. She relied on the afternoons to sleep and recharge for the next shift, but the drumbeats would wake her up repeatedly. Mr. Lee, a freelance writer who worked from home, needed complete quiet to focus on his stories, but the constant “boom-boom-boom” would break his train of thought. We didn’t notice their trouble at first; Tom always closed his bedroom door when practicing, and we thought that would reduce the noise enough. One Tuesday evening, Mr. Lee knocked on our door. His face looked serious, and I could tell he was upset. “I’m sorry to bother you,” he said, “but the drum noise has been making it hard for my wife to rest and me to work. We’ve tried closing the windows, but it still doesn’t help much.” My parents apologized immediately, but Tom felt wronged. He argued that he only practiced for an hour each day and had nowhere else to play. For the next few days, the atmosphere between our two families became awkward. We stopped greeting each other, and the walls seemed to grow thicker. My mom decided to fix the situation. She baked a plate of chocolate cookies — Mrs. Lee’s favorite, which we learned from a casual chat before — and asked Tom and me to take them to the Lees. 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。 When we arrived, Mrs. Lee opened the door with a surprised look. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After a discussion, they agreed on a new schedule for drum practice. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 银川市·石嘴山市·吴忠市 2026 年高三年级学科教学质量检测 英语·参考答案 听力 1-5 6-10 11-15 16-20 凸显 “一核” 立德树人 服务选才 引导教学 渗透 四大核心素养的考查 学习能力 思维品质 语言能力 文化意识 BBACA ABBCB CBACB CCACA 阅读理解 21-25 26-30 31-35 36-40 BACBA BADDB ACCDD DFEAG 语言运用 41-45 46-50 51-55 BACDB DCADA CBCAB 56. won 57. where 58.

Tai Chi is an ideal choice for several reasons. First, its slow and graceful movements make it accessible to people of all ages and fitness levels. Unlike high-intensity sports, Tai Chi focuses on breathing control and mental concentration, which can help reduce stress. Moreover, as a living expression of Chinese philosophy of yin and yang, practicing Tai Chi offers a unique window into our culture’s emphasis on balance and harmony. By introducing Tai Chi, your event will not only showcase Chinese culture but also offer participants an enjoyable and enriching experience. Let me know if you need any help preparing for the event! Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） One possible version: When we arrived, Mrs Lee opened the door with a surprised look. Her tired eyes softened as I handed her the cookies and expressed our sincere apology. After we were invited in, Tom said sorry again for the disturbance and promised to practice in the community park from then on. To our surprise, Mr Lee smiled at Tom, saying, “We appreciate your kindness and passion for music. You can still practice at home. How about adjusting the time for your drumming?” Tom agreed readily. After a discussion, they agreed on a new schedule for drum practice. Tom shifted his practice to a later hour, from 7 pm to 8 pm, ensuring Mrs Lee could rest undisturbed in the afternoon and Mr Lee could focus on his writing. Without any burdens or worries, Tom practiced even harder. A few weeks later, he successfully joined the school music band! The joy was shared by both families. To celebrate, the Lees even gave him a small gift. What started as a conflict became a bond of mutual respect. We learned that putting ourselves in others’ shoes and understanding each other’s needs can turn walls into bridges. 听力原文 Text 1 (书店咨询29个字) M: Excuse me, where can I get the book called Great Expectations?

They are the sort of thing that would brighten up any dining table. ⑳Prize-winner Cynthia Course will also be there to talk about her silver jewelry. Some of her rings are quite extraordinary and have beautiful colored stones on them. Or if you prefer sculpture, there’s plenty of that, too. Take Susan Cup’s white paper sculpture of 25 pairs of shoes for example. It sounds easy, but believe me it looks amazing. All of these artworks along with others will be on sale throughout the exhibition period. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
