B My dad is a crossword-lover. When I was a little girl, Dad would read his crossword puzzles to me from a magazine. I can still remember how he turned his pencil excitedly as he discovered a new phrase. If my attention weakened, he would say, “Feeling sleepy? Never mind, I’ll keep reading. Some of the words may crawl into your mind.” Bit by bit, Dad introduced me to the power of words and guided my life’s calling, a purpose I never questioned or bothered to pursue. Years passing, I grew into a professional writer. I found that he never asked me to suggest a word or help him with a puzzle when I was working. For him, my words were precious; each held value. But it did not matter much to me how much I got paid for writing. I wrote because I loved word-craft and making up stories that brought ideas to life. Recently when an editor surprised me with a lower rate of pay for a piece of essay that they chose to publish online rather than in print, I was kind of hurt! But I comforted myself by looking at the bright side—so many people read the piece and shared joyful emotions and praise on social media. Although some worldly-wise friends told me that I was paid peanuts, I myself felt well rewarded. While I was content, a certain anxiety would secretly emerge: would the thought of earnings cheapen the dignity of my work? Dad’s solution was: “Why not both? Money isn’t everything, but isn’t it good to have enough to help yourself and those close to you? And for your talents and efforts to be valued?” Dad believed not only that more wealth did not mean greater happiness, but also that no effort should be undervalued. Today, when doubts cloud my mind, I think of Dad’s pencil: its purpose may be to solve a crossword puzzle, but it was also there for anyone writing down a life-changing number in a lottery ticket (彩票). So couldn’t my words help complete my life purpose and earn a better living too? Now I take up assignments — some that pay well, some that don’t — and they both fill me with joy. 4. Dad didn’t turn to the author to solve puzzles probably because he ______. A. didn’t know the fun of sharing games B. failed to see her willingness to help C. didn’t want to interrupt her literary creation D. trusted his own ability to solve puzzles 5. “I was paid peanuts” in paragraph 3 indicates that ______. A. my writing deserved a better pay B. I got some nuts from my writing C. my writing ability was overrated D. I earned more than I should have 6. What does the author mainly convey in the last paragraph? A. Dad uses a pencil to balance his life wisely. B. Her life purpose is realized through writing. C. She sees both her words’ material and spiritual value. D. Multiple roles of a pencil may help change one’s life. 7. What can we learn about Dad and the author? A. Dad developed her attention by reading. B. Dad advised her to be a professional writer. C. Dad improved her ability to solve word puzzles. D. Dad helped shape her view on writing for a living. C Nature words like river, moss and blossom have appeared less frequently in books over the past years. This decline, according to a study by professor Miles Richardson from the University of Derby, mirrors a broader change he has traced through 220 years of records on urbanisation, the loss of wildlife in neighbourhoods, and parents no longer passing on engagement with nature to their children. The computer modelling in the study also predicts an “extinction of experience”, with future generations continuing to lose an awareness of nature because it is not present in increasingly built-up neighbourhoods, while parents no longer pass on an “orientation (倾向)” towards the natural world. This is consistent with findings from other studies, which identify adult nature connectedness as the strongest predictor of whether a child will become close to nature. Richardson said that when he tested policy and urban environmental changes in the model he was surprised at the scale of the changes required to restore the connection to nature. Increasing biodiverse green spaces in a city by 30% might look like significant positive progress for wildlife and people but Richardson said his study suggests a city might need to be 10 times greener to turn around declines in nature connection. Efforts to simply encourage adults to engage with nature are often insufficient for lasting change. More effective are measures that build nature connection from an early age, such as forest schools for young children. Research indicates that government initiatives reshaping early education and urban design must be consistently applied over the next 25 years. Once established, this connection can become self-sustaining. Richardson said the scale of societal change required might not be as challenging as it appeared. A study on people in Sheffield found that they spent just 4 minutes and 36 seconds on average in natural spaces each day. “Increase that by ten, and people are spending 40 minutes outside every day—that may be enough,” he said. “The key is to make these gains last across generations,” he added. 8. What change has Richardson traced in his study? A. Nature words have disappeared from books. B. People have less direct contact with nature. C. Urbanisation has damaged wildlife habitats. D. Parents spend more time outdoors with kids. 9. What might cause future generations to have “extinction of experience” in the model? A. They are raised away from nature. B. They can’t adapt to changes in nature. C. High-rise buildings fill neighbourhoods. D. Schools offer few nature science lessons. 10. What is a most effective solution to the issue according to the text? A. Advancing long-term policies. B. Launching eco-friendly campaigns. C. Focusing on raising adults’ awareness. D. Enlarging green space in certain areas. 11. Richardson mentioned the study on people in Sheffield to show ________. A. nature contact varies from city to city B. people’s living habits are hard to change C. a new way to measure nature time is needed D. small efforts help improve contact with nature D We’ve all seen this happen in a science-fiction movie: The super heroes jump into a shaky spaceship and escape the bad guys by flying through the asteroid (小行星) belt, where huge rocks fall and spin so close that the crew has to duck and dive to avoid being broken into pieces. It’s exciting, but it’s wrong: In our solar system, the odds are pretty good that you could stand on the surface of an asteroid and not even be able to see another. Yet they do interact if given enough time. Even in the main asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, crashes are ineluctable. And when two space rocks go “crash” in the main belt, big impacts blow lots of asteroid fragments (碎片) out into space. In many cases, these fragments stay on much the same orbital path as the parent asteroid, although they gradually separate from it because of slight speed differences. After thousands of years, some fragments might be clear across the Sun, but their distance from the Sun and the shape and direction of their orbits remain similar. Such conserved features are collectively called an asteroid’s orbital elements. The groupings sharing orbital elements are identified as “families”, which are named after the largest asteroid in the group. Studying asteroids by focusing on their families can help us make a good guess about what properties a newly-found one has if it belongs to a better-studied family. Care must be taken, though. Some very large asteroids have differentiated materials in the center and on the surface, so confirming those guesses usually requires taking spectra, the time-consuming process of breaking an object’s incoming light into individual colors to reveal its composition. It’s more than a mere academic exercise to find this particular branch of an asteroid family tree: Some asteroids are potentially risky, meaning they could crash with Earth some time in the distant future. If we know how they find their way to the inner solar system from the main belt to pose threats in the first place, we can defend our planet from future worrisome asteroids. 12. What is the author’s view on the scene in the sci-fi movie? A. It goes against the established facts. B. It overstates the super heroes’ role. C. It downplays the special visual effects. D. It fuels people’s interest in the asteroid. 13. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “ineluctable” in paragraph 2? A. Unavoidable. B. Uncommon. C. Incredible. D. Invisible. 14. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The definition of orbital elements. B. The formation of asteroid families. C. The naming rule of asteroid groups. D. The moving pattern of asteroid fragments. 15. What can be inferred about the study of asteroid family? A. It is a high-risk practice. B. It is built on assumptions. C. Its value can’t be overstated. D. Its coverage needs to be expanded. 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，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。 Do you believe that setting goals is an important part of success? Having free time to relax and just accepting whatever happens can be nice on occasion. 16 And that involves goals and planning. Successful people start with a goal. They know that without one, they have no direction or focus with which to achieve anything. 17 And your goal determines all of the steps you take towards it. Regardless of what type of goal you have, it’s important to be clear about it. When starting any plans to reach a goal, successful people know that it can help to map out the route to reach your destination. For example, what steps would you take? By having a plan, it gives you a clearer picture of where to start, and what milestones you can expect along the way. Goals allow you to experience success along the way. 18 Successful people know that having a goal is the motivator that drives you forward with confidence. When you know where you’re going, it can be exciting to see your progress as you move closer to the goal. 19 For example, with the road trip scenario, every time you get to the next town, you know you are making progress. And feeling successful can give you the confidence to do more. 20 By committing to the task or process involved in reaching a goal, you are telling yourself you intend to do it. Giving up or not putting enough effort into creating your step-by-step plan is not going to help you reach your goal. A. It’s the very basis of their success. B. Successful people achieve goals with commitment. C. They can make sure you get the training and experience they need. D. From time to time you need to see how much you have committed to your goal. E. Knowing what to expect around the next corner might make you feels less stressed. F. Having things planned out ahead of time can help you to reach your goal more smoothly. G. However, most of the time if you want to reach your dreams, you have to make an effort. 第二部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从题中所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I’m up to my ankles in clay in southern Germany.

Every morning, she scattered (抛撒) seeds in her backyard and whispered, “Good morning, my little friends!” To her, their songs sounded like cheerful laughter, and she often laughed along with them. However, her neighbor, Mr. Thompson, didn’t share her joy. He was constantly annoyed by the birds that flew into his yard. “They’re too noisy!” he complained. “And they make such a mess in my yard!” His sharp words made Jane feel quite uneasy, yet she refused to give up on her feathered friends. She firmly believed that every small creature deserved care. One morning, Jane discovered a small sparrow (麻雀) shaking under the fence. One of its wings looked bent at a painful angle. Filled with worry, Jane carefully picked it up and named it Pip. She placed him in a small, warm basket in a safe corner right next to the fence. A week passed. Pip was getting better but still unable to fly. One afternoon, while Jane was feeding Pip by the fence, Mr. Thompson shouted from his side, “You’re just asking for trouble!” Jane gently lifted Pip in her hands so Mr. Thompson could see him through the gaps in the fence. “Look, Mr. Thompson. Pip’s wing is hurt.” Mr. Thompson cast an impatient glance at the tiny creature. For a moment, his frown (皱眉) softened. “That wing…” he said softly, almost to himself. Just then, Jane’s mother called her from the driveway, saying they were leaving for a family visit. Jane waved a quick goodbye to Pip and hurried to the car. However, on their way home, a heavy storm broke out. Watching the trees shaking in the strong wind, Jane felt very worried about Pip, who was left all alone in the yard. The moment they pulled into the driveway, she dashed toward the backyard, calling Pip’s name. 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。 To her horror, the basket was empty. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At this moment, Mr. Thompson appeared with Pip. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三下学期3月份单元质量检测英语试题答案 第一部分（每题3分，满分60分） 1-3.

Thank you for your time and kind help. I am looking forward to your early reply. Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25） To her horror, the basket was empty. The strong wind had turned it over, leaving nothing but a puddle of muddy water in the corner. Jane’s heart sank as she searched everywhere in the wet grass. Her clothes were soon soaked by the heavy rain. “Pip! Where are you?” she cried out, her voice trembling with fear. She was afraid that the small, helpless bird had been washed away by the storm. Tears mixed with raindrops on her face, and she felt very sorry for leaving him alone in the yard. At this moment, Mr. Thompson appeared with Pip. He held the tiny bird gently in his hands, his usual stern expression replaced by softness. “I saw the storm coming and took him in,” he explained quietly. Jane rushed over, relief washing over her as she took Pip, who was safe but a little shaken. For the first time, she saw a faint smile on Mr. Thompson’s face, and the gap between them seemed to heal, just like Pip’s wing. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
