In my view, it can be a great idea with proper supervision. Posting videos serves as an ideal way for us to fully express ourselves. For instance, those passionate about music can showcase their singing or instrument-playing skills, while art lovers can share their creative drawing processes. Moreover, it significantly contributes to enhancing our digital capabilities. Through video editing, we learn to be more proficient in using software, which is essential for future study and career development. However, it’s vital to ensure privacy protection and stay away from potential online risks. Yours, Li Hua 47．范文 Within half an hour, 50 volunteers were working in winds to clear the area in snow. They braved the freezing temperatures and battled against the mounting snow. With shovels and brooms in hand, they labored tirelessly, their determination fueled by the belief that their efforts could save a young girl’s life. Sharon also sent a four-wheel vehicle to transport the Schmitts to the church. The crowd cheered as the jet descended onto the makeshift landing pad and waved as the Schmitts flew off into the snowy night. Hours later, they reached the hospital in Omaha. A team of medical professionals anxiously awaited Michelle’s arrival. The transplant was a success, and the Schmitts were grateful to all the people who had helped make this miracle possible. The act of clearing the parking lot had not only cleared a path for the jet, but it had also cleared a path for hope to enter their lives again. The snowstorm that once threatened to separate the Schmitt family from the life-saving medical care they desperately needed had ultimately brought them closer to their community. It had shown them the true power of unity. 答案第2页，共2页 答案第2页，共2页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 石嘴山市第一中学2025-2026学年第二学期高三年级3月月考 英语试题 听力（满分 30 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 English Market Towns to Visit in the UK English market towns come in many shapes and sizes. Each has a personality shaped by the goods and services produced and traded for centuries. But each town has more to do than shop. Hereford, Herefordshire Hereford has remained a lively market town since 1189. Skirting the town square, you’ll find lovely shops, eateries, and the Black and White House Museum. The Hereford Cathedral is the most impressive building in town. It’s also home to an ancient library. One of the four original copies of the Magna Carta is displayed there. Ludlow, Shropshire Ludlow is known as the Foodie Center of England. Butcher shops, greengrocers, bakeries, and cheese shops line the town square. Bordering the square, the Ludlow Castle is a “must explore” medieval stronghold. The three-day Ludlow Food Festival is held each September. Shrewsbury, Shropshire Getting to Shrewsbury Town Center from London is challenging but worth the anxiety. The River Severn has a significant turn through town, almost making an island of Shrewsbury Town Center. The shape creates a perfect market where goods could be shipped and received using the river as a highway. Flowers are everywhere-hanging baskets, window boxes, and planters-just what you imagine in an attractive English market town. Mevagissey, Cornwall Even if you haven’t been to the small fishing village Mevagissey, you’ve probably seen it in a movie or British TV show. The working harbor (港口) took shape in 1774. Fishermen go out to sea daily and sell their fish in harbor-side markets. Don’t leave the harbor without a traditional Cornish pie. It’s delicious. 1．Where can you find an original copy of the Magna Carta? A．In the Ludlow Castle. B．In the Foodie Center of England. C．In the Hereford Cathedral. D．In the Black and White House Museum. 2．What is a feature of Shrewsbury Town Center? A．It’s situated near a big island. B．It’s almost surrounded by water. C．It’s known for its flower festival. D．It’s easily accessible from London. 3．What does the author suggest visitors do in Mevagissey? A．Try the Cornish pie. B．Watch a British TV show. C．Go fishing in the sea. D．Take pictures of the harbor. B For Sarah, a librarian in a small town in Oregon, the library was never just a place for books. But it wasn’t until the record-breaking heatwave last summer that she realized its true potential as a “community living room.” As temperatures climbed to dangerous levels, Sarah noticed an unusual influx of people. It wasn’t just the regular readers; it was elderly couples whose homes lacked air conditioning, exhausted delivery workers looking for a cool corner, and teenagers who usually spent their afternoons at the now-closed local park. The library, with its powerful cooling system and free Wi-Fi, became a sanctuary. One afternoon, Sarah spotted a man named David sitting near the back, staring blankly at a computer screen. After a brief conversation, she learned that David had recently lost his job and, without a home internet connection, was struggling to apply for new positions. Seeing his frustration, Sarah didn’t just point him to a shelf. She spent her lunch breaks for the next week helping him polish his resume and navigating complex job portals. “Libraries are the only places where you can exist without being expected to spend money,” Sarah observed. Inspired by the crisis, she started a “Career Corner” in the library, offering free printing services and weekly workshops. The initiative was a huge success, attracting local business owners who volunteered to conduct mock interviews. Months later, David walked in, not to escape the heat, but to share the news that he had secured a technician job. He handed Sarah a small potted plant — a token of gratitude. For Sarah, the library had evolved. It was no longer just a quiet space for silence, but a dynamic hub where lives were rebuilt. 4．What did Sarah find out about the library during the heatwave? A．It needed a more powerful cooling system. B．It could serve as a vital social center. C．It attracted fewer readers than expected. D．It was too small for the growing influx. 5．What does the underlined word “sanctuary” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．A quiet research lab. B．A busy marketplace. C．A historic monument. D．A safe shelter. 6．What can we infer about the “Career Corner” ? A．It was initially a government project. B．It focused mainly on young teenagers. C．It replaced the library’s traditional roles. D．It benefited from community support. 7．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．Sarah: A Librarian with a Green Thumb. B．David’s Journey: From Heat to a New Job. C．The Library: More Than Just a Quiet Space. D．Public Services: How to Survive a Heatwave. C As digital communication becomes the primary way many people connect, the language we use in these spaces is constantly evolving. Texting has developed its own dialect (方言), filled with abbreviations like “hru?”(how are you?). While nearly all texters use these shortcuts, the findings suggest that dashing off a swift “hru?” might not appear as genuine as taking the time to spell out: “How are you?” “While abbreviations can save time and effort, our research suggests that they may also slow down effective communication and negatively influence interpersonal perceptions,” the authors write in Journal of Experimental Psychology. The findings challenge the common assumption about texting culture. While 99% of people report using abbreviations and 84% believe others don’t mind them, the research shows that abbreviated messages consistently create negative impressions. Perhaps most tellingly, only 15.8% of participants correctly predicted this negative impact, while 80% assumed others would be indifferent to abbreviations. David Fang at Stanford University and his colleagues ran the studies to explore the impact of abbreviations in different messaging scenarios (情景). They examined over 200,000 conversations from 686 users spanning 37 countries and five continents. Researchers calculated the percentage of abbreviations participants used in their messages. They discovered a clear pattern: conversations containing more abbreviations consistently died out faster. “Our research reveals that texting abbreviations negatively affect interpersonal communication by decreasing perceived effort, which in turn leads to lower perceived sincerity and responsiveness. Ultimately, our findings highlight the importance of considering the impact of evolving language use in the digital era on the quality of interpersonal communication,” Fang and his colleagues concluded. Texting abbreviations could contribute to loneliness if people find that social bonds weaken over time because they receive less frequent or positive replies to their texts, Fang said. But he doesn’t believe people should stop using abbreviations altogether. “We often tailor the effort we put into conversations to match the significance of the relationship. In some cases, it makes sense to invest less effort, like quickly texting with a delivery driver,” Fang said. “However, our findings are especially relevant when we want to strengthen social ties, such as at the beginning of a relationship or when we need to make a good impression.” 8．What do the findings indicate about texting abbreviations? A．They make senders seem insincere. B．They have evolved over a long time. C．They reshape digital communication. D．They are a shortcut to learning dialects. 9．What do texters commonly assume about abbreviations? A．They could become trendy. B．They would not bother others. C．They could ruin communication. D．They would damage social connections. 10．Fang’s research reveals that the use of abbreviations is perceived as ______. A．the evolution of language B．a lower effort from the sender C．an improved conversational quality D．the preference for a shorter conversation 11．What is Fang’s view on using abbreviations? A．It enhances social ties. B．It should be abandoned. C．It depends on the context. D．It can simplify the content. D “I write to find out what I’m thinking, ” wrote the great American journalist John Dos Passos. Anyone engaged in writing understands this truth: the act of writing transforms half - formed ideas into precise, logical thought. What sounds coherent (有条理的) when spoken often appears weak and illogical when committed to paper. A recent MIT study provides convincing scientific evidence for this claim. Researchers used wearable brain scanners to compare students who wrote essays independently with those using AI assistance. The findings were clear: AI-assisted writers “consistently underperformed at brain, verbal, and behavioural levels”. They demonstrated that we need to write in order to think deeply. This research emerges at a critical historical moment for literacy. Childhood reading has reached record lows, with nearly half of British adults not reading a single book last year. Adult literacy is declining or making no progress across most OECD countries. Notably, average IQs have begun to decline since the 1980s, along with reasoning and problem-solving abilities — a trend that is unlikely to be random. Walter Ong’s influential work “Orality and Literacy” clarifies why writing is essential. He argued that literacy enabled Ancient Greece’s intellectual revolution. Oral cultures must “think memorable thoughts”, relying on rhyme, emotion, and cliché (陈词滥调) to preserve knowledge. Writing, by contrast, allows for precise, complex statements that can be examined, reviewed, and developed into logical arguments. In our digital age, no technology has surpassed the complicated architecture of the book. While the internet offers fragmented (碎片化的) information, books provide rich context and sustained logical connections. Reading is an active process that demands engagement and concentration — it is essentially thinking in dialogue with the text. As our culture becomes increasingly dominated by short-form videos and attention-fragmenting content, we risk losing the capacity for complex reasoning. Reading and writing form the foundation of serious thought — a habit that unites history’s greatest minds. Before we yield our cognitive development to screens and algorithms, we must carefully consider what we might be sacrificing. 12．How does AI assistance affect writing according to the MIT study? A．It reduces deep thinking. B．It improves writing speed. C．It enhances creative expression. D．It has little impact on brain activity. 13．Why is writing essential for developing logical arguments? A．It relies on rhyme and emotion. B．It is easier to remember and repeat. C．It requires concentration and engagement. D．It enables accurate and revisable statements. 14．What is the author’s attitude towards digital media’s effect on deep thinking? A．Optimistic. B．Dismissive. C．Objective. D．Concerned. 15．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．The Decline of Modern Literacy B．The Benefits of Reading in a Digital Age C．Writing: The Foundation of Deep Thinking D．Thinking: The Capacity for Complex Reasoning 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。 When we speak of a person being independent, what do we mean? Usually, we take it to mean that becoming independent begins as a young child - their level of independence increases as they pass through the various stages of growing up. 16 The following insights will make you think that independence is quite essential. ●Being independent is a boost to your confidence. Every life coach and motivational speaker stresses the importance of confidence when you seek success in your life. The more independent you are, the more confident you will become. You are going to be willing to do things on your own, try new ventures, and so gain more experience. This creates a good and self-fulfilling cycle. 17 ●You will not need to rely on others. Self-reliance is a significant element in being an independent person. When you can make decisions for yourself without relying on others to approve or sanction your choice, so you are acting independently. 18 Relying on others is not attractive feature in someone’s personality and might lead to losing friends or upsetting colleagues. ● 19 Nothing compares to receiving that first pay packet and knowing that at last, you can begin to pay your way in the world. Having financial independence is a fantastic feeling. It means that you don’t have to depend on others to pay for you. Knowing you are in control of your income and spending without referring to anyone else reduces stress and improves your feeling of contentedness. ●Independence leads to broader horizons. Once you can function as an independent person without constraints placed on you by others, you can broaden your horizons. You will be able to take trips to exotic destinations and gain more extensive knowledge. 20 You can form a broader, more all-embracing view of the world, and you can also avoid getting into a single and narrow mind-set. A．The more experiences you have, the more your confidence will grow. B．But some people don’t think it makes much sense to become independent. C．You can get freedom through financial independence. D．However, people who depend on others cannot learn to grow themselves. E．Self-reliance is a sign of one’s maturity. F．The pursuit of money should dominate your life.

Han Zheming has mastered this skill, making tea art in cups, or dian cha in Chinese, 36 ceremony during the Song Dynasty (960 - 1279). Over the past six years, the 40-year-old Shanghai resident, 37 aims to add fun to tea drinking and revive the ancient dian cha ritual so that more people can appreciate its charm, 38 (make) nearly 200 patterns based on ancient paintings with tea and spoons. The preparation starts 39 hot water poured over fine powdered tea to form a paste. Then more hot water is slowly added while the tea is 40 (constant) stirred by hand with a bamboo stick. This method is believed to have spread to other parts of East Asia, where 41 (similarity) can be seen in the way matcha is prepared today. Despite having a background in 42 (tradition) painting, Han found that 43 (apply) the theory of creating patterns on tea foam as 44 (describe) in ancient documents proved quite different in practice, yet he can now deliver a piece of tea-whisking art in one take. However, since the pattern on tea froth lasts only for up to an hour, he takes photos of his work   45 (extend) its life as he considers it a short-lived art. 三、写作 46．假定你是李华，某英文报正在就“中学生是否可以在社交媒体上发布视频”话题征询意见。请你给该报编辑写封邮件，内容包括： 1.你的观点； 2.你的理由。 注意：1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear editor, _______________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Snowed In Waiting and praying were a daily routine for Barbara Schmitt, but today the prayers were more intense. Her three-year-old granddaughter, Michelle, had been showing danger signs that made an immediate liver transplant critical, but the telephone was as silent as the snowy scene outside. Then at nine in the morning, the phone rang. A hospital in Omaha had located the right liver donor, they were sure it was a match for Michelle, and they needed her there within 12 hours. Barbara couldn’t tell what to do first — rejoice or despair, as they were snowbound (被雪困住的), 600 miles away. “We’re snowed in,” Barbara told the medical coordinator on the line, “and the airport is 17 miles away and there’s no way we’re going to get there.” “Don’t give up,” the woman told Barbara. “You have 12 hours to reach Omaha!” Fortunately, the phone lines were still working, so she started calling Sharon Stevens, who runs Hair Angels, a fund for children with special needs. Sharon had already lined up a Lear jet (医疗飞机) and two pilots to fly the Schmitts to Omaha when transplant time came. How to get from the Schmitts’ house to the jet was the big question. Sharon called for help through the local radio station, wanting to invite listeners to call in with ideas and suggestions. Teresa Amshoff heard the story and suggested that the church parking lot next to her house, only a mile from the Schmitts, would make a perfect helicopter landing pad. As precious minutes ticked away, the Amshoffs rushed from door to door, begging for help to clear the lot. Neighbors came without hesitation. 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。 Within half an hour, 50 volunteers were working in winds to clear the area in snow. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hours later, they reached the hospital in Omaha. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第8页，共8页 试卷第7页，共8页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 答案第2页，共2页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
