Covering about 8,991 square kilometers across Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, it is famous for its amazing geothermal (地热的) features, including numerous hot springs. It is also home to many animal species, making it one of the most complete temperate ecosystems in North America. Serengeti National Park (Tanzania) Located in northern Tanzania, this wildlife reserve was founded in 1951 and also listed as a World Heritage Site. Spanning 14,763 square kilometers of vast grasslands and woodlands, it is best known for the Great Migration, one of the most breathtaking natural events on Earth. Every year, over 1.5 million wildebeests and hundreds of thousands of zebras travel long distances for water and grass. It houses many rare species, known as a paradise for wildlife lovers. Amazon Rainforest Reserve (Brazil) Located in northern Brazil, the Amazon Rainforest Reserve is the world’s largest tropical rainforest protected area. Founded in 1974, it covers more than 2,000 square kilometers of dense forests and is a core part of the Amazon Rainforest World Heritage Site. Besides countless tropical plants, it is home to many rare animals like jaguars, macaws and sloths, as well as thousands of unique insect species. Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (Australia) Stretching over 2,300 kilometers along Australia’s northeastern coast, the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park is the world’s largest coral reef system and a World Heritage Site.

B When people learn I write about time management, they typically assume two things: that I’m always on time (I’m not — I once arrived late to my own time management speech), and that I have countless tips for saving minutes here and there. Magazines often ask me for strategies to help readers “find an extra hour in the day” — like microwaving at the minimum suggested time, or DVRing shows to skip commercials and gain 32 minutes over two hours of TV. But I’ve come to realize these strategies have complete drawbacks. We don’t build the lives we want by saving time; we build the lives we want, and then time saves itself. Consider what I learned from a time diary project tracking 1,000 days in the lives of extremely busy women. These were women with demanding careers, businesses, children, aging parents, and community commitments. One woman’s week included a Wednesday night out, after which she returned home to find her water heater had flooded the basement — a destructive mess. She dealt with the consequence that night, arranged for plumbers (水管工) the next day, and hired cleaners for the ruined carpet afterward. This unexpected crisis consumed seven hours of her week. Now, if you’d asked her at the beginning of that week: “Could you find seven hours to train for a triathlon? Could you find seven hours to mentor (指导) seven worthy people?” She almost certainly would have said, “No. Can’t you see how busy I am?” Yet when she needed seven hours because her basement was flooded, she found it. This reveals something fundamental: time is highly flexible. We cannot create more time, but time stretches to accommodate what we choose to put into it. The key to time management isn’t shaving minutes off everyday activities. It’s treating our priorities with the same urgency as that broken water heater — recognizing that when something truly matters, we somehow make the time for it. 4. Why does the author mention being late to her own speech? A. To introduce her view on time. B. To prove she is not perfect. C. To remind readers not to be late. D. To show she is always busy. 5. What happened to the woman in the time diary project? A. She planned a triathlon training. B. Her basement was flooded repeatedly. C. She didn’t go back home on time. D. She spent several hours on an emergency. 6. What is the example of the woman in the time diary project used to demonstrate? A. Unexpected emergencies are a big waste of time. B. Most people overestimate how busy they really are. C. Time can expand when we are truly committed to a task. D. Busy people are actually more capable of handling crises. 7. How should we manage time according to the author? A. By focusing on what’s crucial. B. By avoiding emergencies. C. By finding an extra hour in the day. D. By saving minutes here and there. C As the world moves fast towards renewable sources of energy, engineers are facing a big challenge. How can we store electricity to be used at times when the wind is not blowing and the sun is not shining? In some cases the answer will be batteries; but in other cases it could come from a variety of different solutions. Gravity is the most abundant source of power on Earth, which engineers have used as a source of power for centuries, long before Newton first explained it. In 1907, engineers in Switzerland first used gravity for a new purpose: to store energy. Applying the principle that “What goes up must come down”, they used surplus (过剩的) hydroelectric power to pump water up a hill, where they stored it in a lake. Then when they needed more electricity, they let the water come back down the hill, driving electric turbines (涡轮机) as it fell. The idea was just so simple, and it is now used in many parts of the world. However the problem is that “pumped storage” hydro projects can’t be built just anywhere, as they need lots of water and big hills or mountains. Yet gravity is not the only way of storing energy. Norwegian engineers have built a system using the pressure that exists deep in the ocean; and in Italy there are plans to store energy using compressed CO2 in cylinders (圆筒) at the bottom of the sea. Doing things very differently, the town of Kankaanpää in Finland has started storing energy in 100 tons of hot sand. This could perhaps be the most economic and easiest solution of all, because sand is very cheap and easy to transport. Storage is one of the big scientific challenges of our time, as storage is the essential partner of wind power and solar power. We need clean electricity 24 hours a day, not just when the sun is shining or the wind is blowing. 8. What can we learn about the “pumped storage” projects? A. It has strict geographical requirements for construction sites. B. It was invented by Newton after he explained the law of gravity. C. It is the most widely used energy storage method around the world. D. It uses falling water to produce electricity directly without any power input. 9. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Gravity has been used to store energy for thousands of years. B. The energy storage system with hot sand has cost advantages. C. Italy has built a compressed CO2 energy storage system under the sea. D. Water pressure and compressed air are more effective ways to store energy. 10. What’s the author’s attitude to the new energy storage solutions mentioned in the passage? A. Objective. B. Critical. C. Ambiguous. D. Indifferent. 11. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain why renewable energy is hard to store. B. To present different approaches to store renewable energy. C. To introduce various gravity-based energy storage technologies. D. To compare the advantages and disadvantages of different energy resources. D As the Year of the Horse arrives in February 2026, China has been preparing to launch its 15th Five-Year Plan (2026 — 2030). In his New Year message, President Xi Jinping called on the nation to charge ahead “like horses with courage, vitality and energy,” filling this new journey with profound cultural recognition and forward momentum (势头). The horse has always held a special place in the hearts of the Chinese people, honored not only as loyal companions but as a symbol of self-improvement and pioneering spirit. From the “Bronze Galloping (疾驰) Horse” statue from the Han dynasty to the “Six Steeds (骏马) of Zhaoling” stone reliefs from the Tang dynasty, the image of the horse has long gone beyond its biological form. Through the pursuit of the “dragon-horse spirit” — a metaphor for steady and rapid progress — the image of the horse has become a symbol of the national character. Its essence can be summarized in three dimensions: a courageous pioneering spirit, the collective strength of unity, and the perseverance of practical hard work. The arrival of the Year of the Horse coincides with a critical stage as China launches its next phase of development. Throughout history, horses facilitated China in carrying out civilization exchanges and building national unity. Today, the country must draw upon the virtues of the horse to overcome modern challenges. From achieving greater self-reliance and strength in science and technology to promoting common prosperity, and from green transition to global governance, every mission requires courage, vitality and energy that the horse represents. Standing at the starting line of the 15th Five-Year Plan, the task now is to translate the cultural symbolism into tangible action. Only by merging individual efforts into the broader current of national development, and by utilizing the pioneering spirit of a front-runner, the collective force of ten thousand galloping horses and the steady perseverance of a tireless steed, can the country ensure a strong start to the coming five years, and gallop forward on the journey toward national thriving. 12. What do the underlined words “this new journey” in Paragraph 1 most probably refer to? A. President Xi Jinping’s New Year message. B. The arrival of the Year of the Horse in 2026. C. The restoration of Chinese cultural traditions. D. China’s initiation of a new Five-Year Plan period. 13. What is the primary function of the second paragraph? A. To trace the historical origin of horse breeding in China. B. To explain how the horse became a symbol of national character. C. To compare different artistic representations of horses across dynasties. D. To argue that the Tang dynasty valued horses more than the Han dynasty. 14. According to the passage, which of the following is a mission China are trying to fulfill? A. Prioritizing rapid economic growth. B. Drawing upon the virtues of the horse. C. Seeking independence in core technologies. D. Withdrawing from global governance efforts. 15. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. China’s New Journey Toward National Prosperity. B. The Spirit of the Horse: A National Character of China. C. The Cultural Symbolism of the Horse in Chinese History. D. The Year of the Horse Meets China’s 15th Five-Year Plan. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） April is the cruelest month… Or so said gloomy poet T. S. Eliot in his long poem, The Waste Land. It seems he wasn’t wrong. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) — otherwise known as the “winter blues” — is a well-known condition. ____16____ The days getting warmer and longer, and the fact that spring flowers and blossom represent new beginnings for some people, just make the spring blues worse for others.

But her mom, who was the assistant director of the center, said she was too young. “I’ve volunteered here all year,” she thought proudly, “and I know more about birds than anyone.” Months of studying nature books and online resources had proven her advantage. Yet she sighed. She had never been good at speaking up for herself, and who would listen to a shy seventh grader anyway? Suddenly, Eva Jensen burst in. Lisa felt herself shrink. Eva, who had been a volunteer a bit longer than Lisa, was 16 and walked around like she owned the place. “Hey, Lisa! Job for you,” Eva barked, planting a hand on Lisa’s shoulder. Lisa went rigid but whispered, “I… need to finish filing.” Just then, Lisa’s mother rushed in: “The hurricane is entering the Gulf,” she reported. “The Gulf Shore Preserve needs help preparing for the storm. I’ve got to head down there. You should be okay up here but I need you girls to get the storm shutters down in the first-floor aviary (鸟舍). Stay inside after that.” Lisa leaped to her feet, excited to have an opportunity to help the birds. The girls quickly lowered the shutters. Safely inside, they listened to the wind hammering the shutters. When an emergency weather report flashed on the TV screen, Eva’s face paled. “A storm is heading straight for us!” she exclaimed, her eyes widening in horror. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．开头已给出，请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 “The aviary is to be flooded,” Lisa thought to herself. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hours later, Lisa’s mother returned and found the birds safe in the upstairs room. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年锦州市普通高中高三质量检测（一） 英语 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） 听下面五段对话，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。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。 例：How much is the shirt?

Every year, over 1.5 million wildebeests and hundreds of thousands of zebras travel long distances for water and grass.( 它覆盖了 14763 平方公里的广袤草原和森林地带，以“大迁徙”这一地球上最壮观的自然现象之一而闻名。每年，超过 150 万只角马和数十万只斑马为了水源和草料长途跋涉。)”可知，大迁徙是野生动物为水草进行的长途迁徙。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (Australia)中“It is made up of more than 2,900 individual reefs and hundreds of islands, providing a habitat for thousands of marine species. As a unique marine ecosystem, it is not only a natural wonder but also an important base for marine ecological research and protection.( 它由超过 2900 个独立的珊瑚礁和数百个岛屿组成，为数千种海洋生物提供了栖息地。作为一个独特的海洋生态系统，它不仅是一个自然奇观，也是海洋生态研究和保护的重要基地。)”可知，大堡礁是海洋生物的重要保护基地，其余保护区分别对应陆地温带草原、热带雨林生态。故选D项。 B When people learn I write about time management, they typically assume two things: that I’m always on time (I’m not — I once arrived late to my own time management speech), and that I have countless tips for saving minutes here and there. Magazines often ask me for strategies to help readers “find an extra hour in the day” — like microwaving at the minimum suggested time, or DVRing shows to skip commercials and gain 32 minutes over two hours of TV. But I’ve come to realize these strategies have complete drawbacks. We don’t build the lives we want by saving time; we build the lives we want, and then time saves itself. Consider what I learned from a time diary project tracking 1,000 days in the lives of extremely busy women. These were women with demanding careers, businesses, children, aging parents, and community commitments. One woman’s week included a Wednesday night out, after which she returned home to find her water heater had flooded the basement — a destructive mess. She dealt with the consequence that night, arranged for plumbers (水管工) the next day, and hired cleaners for the ruined carpet afterward. This unexpected crisis consumed seven hours of her week. Now, if you’d asked her at the beginning of that week: “Could you find seven hours to train for a triathlon? Could you find seven hours to mentor (指导) seven worthy people?” She almost certainly would have said, “No. Can’t you see how busy I am?” Yet when she needed seven hours because her basement was flooded, she found it. This reveals something fundamental: time is highly flexible. We cannot create more time, but time stretches to accommodate what we choose to put into it. The key to time management isn’t shaving minutes off everyday activities. It’s treating our priorities with the same urgency as that broken water heater — recognizing that when something truly matters, we somehow make the time for it. 4. Why does the author mention being late to her own speech? A. To introduce her view on time. B. To prove she is not perfect. C. To remind readers not to be late. D. To show she is always busy. 5. What happened to the woman in the time diary project? A. She planned a triathlon training. B. Her basement was flooded repeatedly. C. She didn’t go back home on time. D. She spent several hours on an emergency. 6. What is the example of the woman in the time diary project used to demonstrate? A. Unexpected emergencies are a big waste of time. B. Most people overestimate how busy they really are. C. Time can expand when we are truly committed to a task. D. Busy people are actually more capable of handling crises. 7. How should we manage time according to the author? A. By focusing on what’s crucial. B. By avoiding emergencies. C. By finding an extra hour in the day. D. By saving minutes here and there. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍作者对时间管理的新看法，即时间具有弹性，管理时间的关键是优先处理重要事务。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“When people learn I write about time management, they typically assume two things: that I’m always on time (I’m not — I once arrived late to my own time management speech), and that I have countless tips for saving minutes here and there. (当人们知道我写关于时间管理的文章时，他们通常会假设两件事：我总是准时（我并不是——有一次我自己的时间管理演讲都迟到了），以及我有无数到处节省时间的技巧。)”可知，作者提到自己演讲迟到，是为了打破人们对时间管理作者的固有印象，从而引出自己对时间的真正观点。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“One woman’s week included a Wednesday night out, after which she returned home to find her water heater had flooded the basement — a destructive mess. She dealt with the consequence that night, arranged for plumbers (水管工) the next day, and hired cleaners for the ruined carpet afterward. This unexpected crisis consumed seven hours of her week. (有一位女性在周三晚上外出，回家后发现热水器淹了地下室——一片狼藉。她当晚处理了后续问题，第二天安排了水管工，之后雇了清洁工清理被毁的地毯。这场突发危机耗费了她一周中的七个小时。)”可知，这位女士花了几个小时处理一起紧急事件。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“This reveals something fundamental: time is highly flexible. We cannot create more time, but time stretches to accommodate what we choose to put into it.(这揭示了一个基本道理：时间是极具弹性的。我们无法创造更多时间，但时间会延伸，以容纳我们选择投入的事情。)”可知，这位女士的例子被用来说明当我们真正投入一项任务时，时间是可以延展的。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The key to time management isn’t shaving minutes off everyday activities. It’s treating our priorities with the same urgency as that broken water heater — recognizing that when something truly matters, we somehow make the time for it. (时间管理的关键不是从日常活动中挤时间。而是要像对待热水器坏掉这类事一样，以紧迫感对待我们的优先事项——意识到当某件事真正重要时，我们总会想办法腾出时间。)”可知，作者认为我们应该专注于重要的事情来管理时间。故选A项。 C As the world moves fast towards renewable sources of energy, engineers are facing a big challenge. How can we store electricity to be used at times when the wind is not blowing and the sun is not shining? In some cases the answer will be batteries; but in other cases it could come from a variety of different solutions. Gravity is the most abundant source of power on Earth, which engineers have used as a source of power for centuries, long before Newton first explained it. In 1907, engineers in Switzerland first used gravity for a new purpose: to store energy. Applying the principle that “What goes up must come down”, they used surplus (过剩的) hydroelectric power to pump water up a hill, where they stored it in a lake. Then when they needed more electricity, they let the water come back down the hill, driving electric turbines (涡轮机) as it fell. The idea was just so simple, and it is now used in many parts of the world. However the problem is that “pumped storage” hydro projects can’t be built just anywhere, as they need lots of water and big hills or mountains. Yet gravity is not the only way of storing energy. Norwegian engineers have built a system using the pressure that exists deep in the ocean; and in Italy there are plans to store energy using compressed CO2 in cylinders (圆筒) at the bottom of the sea. Doing things very differently, the town of Kankaanpää in Finland has started storing energy in 100 tons of hot sand. This could perhaps be the most economic and easiest solution of all, because sand is very cheap and easy to transport. Storage is one of the big scientific challenges of our time, as storage is the essential partner of wind power and solar power. We need clean electricity 24 hours a day, not just when the sun is shining or the wind is blowing. 8. What can we learn about the “pumped storage” projects? A. It has strict geographical requirements for construction sites. B. It was invented by Newton after he explained the law of gravity. C. It is the most widely used energy storage method around the world. D. It uses falling water to produce electricity directly without any power input. 9. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Gravity has been used to store energy for thousands of years. B. The energy storage system with hot sand has cost advantages. C. Italy has built a compressed CO2 energy storage system under the sea. D. Water pressure and compressed air are more effective ways to store energy. 10. What’s the author’s attitude to the new energy storage solutions mentioned in the passage? A. Objective. B. Critical. C. Ambiguous. D. Indifferent. 11. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain why renewable energy is hard to store. B. To present different approaches to store renewable energy. C. To introduce various gravity-based energy storage technologies. D. To compare the advantages and disadvantages of different energy resources. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍可再生能源快速发展下电能存储的难题，以及重力、海洋压力、热沙等多种不同的储能解决方式。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However the problem is that “pumped storage” hydro projects can’t be built just anywhere, as they need lots of water and big hills or mountains. (然而问题在于，抽水蓄能水利工程不能随便建造，因为它们需要大量的水以及高大的丘陵或山脉。)”可知，抽水蓄能项目对建造地点有严格的地理条件要求。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This could perhaps be the most economic and easiest solution of all, because sand is very cheap and easy to transport.(这或许是所有方案中最经济、最简单的一种，因为沙子价格低廉且易于运输。)”可知，热沙储能系统具备成本优势。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，作者依次介绍了抽水蓄能、海洋压力储能、压缩二氧化碳储能、热沙储能等多种新能源存储方案，客观说明各自的原理、优势与局限，未加入主观批判、模糊或冷漠的倾向，由此可知，作者对文中提到的新能源存储方案持客观态度。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“How can we store electricity to be used at times when the wind is not blowing and the sun is not shining? In some cases the answer will be batteries; but in other cases it could come from a variety of different solutions.(我们该如何储存电能，以便在无风无太阳时使用？在某些情况下答案是电池，但在其他情况下，答案可能来自各种不同的解决方案。)”可知，文章围绕电能存储问题，依次介绍了抽水蓄能、海洋压力、压缩二氧化碳、热沙等多种不同的可再生能源存储方法，因此本文的主要目的是介绍存储可再生能源的不同方式。故选B项。 D As the Year of the Horse arrives in February 2026, China has been preparing to launch its 15th Five-Year Plan (2026 — 2030). In his New Year message, President Xi Jinping called on the nation to charge ahead “like horses with courage, vitality and energy,” filling this new journey with profound cultural recognition and forward momentum (势头). The horse has always held a special place in the hearts of the Chinese people, honored not only as loyal companions but as a symbol of self-improvement and pioneering spirit. From the “Bronze Galloping (疾驰) Horse” statue from the Han dynasty to the “Six Steeds (骏马) of Zhaoling” stone reliefs from the Tang dynasty, the image of the horse has long gone beyond its biological form. Through the pursuit of the “dragon-horse spirit” — a metaphor for steady and rapid progress — the image of the horse has become a symbol of the national character. Its essence can be summarized in three dimensions: a courageous pioneering spirit, the collective strength of unity, and the perseverance of practical hard work. The arrival of the Year of the Horse coincides with a critical stage as China launches its next phase of development. Throughout history, horses facilitated China in carrying out civilization exchanges and building national unity. Today, the country must draw upon the virtues of the horse to overcome modern challenges. From achieving greater self-reliance and strength in science and technology to promoting common prosperity, and from green transition to global governance, every mission requires courage, vitality and energy that the horse represents. Standing at the starting line of the 15th Five-Year Plan, the task now is to translate the cultural symbolism into tangible action. Only by merging individual efforts into the broader current of national development, and by utilizing the pioneering spirit of a front-runner, the collective force of ten thousand galloping horses and the steady perseverance of a tireless steed, can the country ensure a strong start to the coming five years, and gallop forward on the journey toward national thriving. 12. What do the underlined words “this new journey” in Paragraph 1 most probably refer to? A. President Xi Jinping’s New Year message. B. The arrival of the Year of the Horse in 2026. C. The restoration of Chinese cultural traditions. D. China’s initiation of a new Five-Year Plan period. 13. What is the primary function of the second paragraph? A. To trace the historical origin of horse breeding in China. B. To explain how the horse became a symbol of national character. C. To compare different artistic representations of horses across dynasties. D. To argue that the Tang dynasty valued horses more than the Han dynasty. 14. According to the passage, which of the following is a mission China are trying to fulfill? A. Prioritizing rapid economic growth. B. Drawing upon the virtues of the horse. C. Seeking independence in core technologies. D. Withdrawing from global governance efforts. 15. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. China’s New Journey Toward National Prosperity. B. The Spirit of the Horse: A National Character of China. C. The Cultural Symbolism of the Horse in Chinese History. D. The Year of the Horse Meets China’s 15th Five-Year Plan. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15.

In his New Year message, President Xi Jinping called on the nation to charge ahead “like horses with courage, vitality and energy,” filling this new journey with profound cultural recognition and forward momentum (势头). (随着2026年2月马年到来，中国正准备启动第十五个五年规划（2026—2030）。习近平主席在新年贺词中号召全国“以马的勇气、活力和能量”奋勇向前，让这段新征程充满深厚文化认同与奋进势头。)”可知，“this new journey”紧跟在“启动第十五个五年规划”之后，指代的正是中国开启新的五年规划时期这一进程。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The horse has always held a special place in the hearts of the Chinese people, honored not only as loyal companions but as a symbol of self-improvement and pioneering spirit. From the “Bronze Galloping (疾驰) Horse” statue from the Han dynasty to the “Six Steeds (骏马) of Zhaoling” stone reliefs from the Tang dynasty, the image of the horse has long gone beyond its biological form. Through the pursuit of the “dragon-horse spirit” — a metaphor for steady and rapid progress — the image of the horse has become a symbol of the national character. (马在中国人心中一直占有特殊地位，不仅被尊为忠诚伙伴，更被视为自强不息与开拓精神的象征。从汉代“铜奔马”雕像到唐代“昭陵六骏”石刻，马的形象早已超越生物形态。通过追求“龙马精神”——稳健快速发展的隐喻——马的形象已成为民族品格的象征。)”可知，第二段梳理了马在中华文化中的地位与历史载体，阐释其如何演变为民族品格的象征，因此该段主要作用是解释马如何成为民族品格的象征。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“From achieving greater self-reliance and strength in science and technology to promoting common prosperity, and from green transition to global governance, every mission requires courage, vitality and energy that the horse represents.(从实现科技更高水平自立自强，到促进共同富裕，从绿色转型到全球治理，每项使命都需要马所代表的勇气、活力与能量。)”可知，实现科技自立自强即核心技术自主独立，是中国正努力完成的使命，因此中国正努力实现核心技术领域的独立自主。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“As the Year of the Horse arrives in February 2026, China has been preparing to launch its 15th Five-Year Plan (2026 — 2030).(随着2026年2月马年到来，中国正准备启动第十五个五年规划（2026—2030）。)”可知，文章以马年与第十五个五年规划相遇为切入点，阐述马的精神内涵与新时代国家发展的联系，全文始终围绕马年与“十五五”规划这一核心背景展开，因此“马年恰逢中国第十五个五年规划”最能概括全文核心，适合作为最佳标题。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） April is the cruelest month… Or so said gloomy poet T. S. Eliot in his long poem, The Waste Land. It seems he wasn’t wrong. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) — otherwise known as the “winter blues” — is a well-known condition. ____16____ The days getting warmer and longer, and the fact that spring flowers and blossom represent new beginnings for some people, just make the spring blues worse for others. This phenomenon is sometimes called “reverse SAD”. What Causes Reverse SAD? ____17____ So it’s hard to pin down the reasons for feeling down when everyone else seems to be full of the joys of springtime. With winter SAD, less sunlight is thought to disrupt the body’s internal clock and bring on depression. Reverse SAD, on the other hand, might be caused by too much sunlight. ____18____ How Do You Recognize It? Like traditional SAD, spring depression comes back at the same time every year. Do you love the cold and feel much more energized at that time of year, while spring makes you feel much less positive? Again, this could be reverse SAD. ____19____ Look around at your nearest and dearest and note how they feel about the advent of warmer, brighter days. ____20____ Exercise can work wonders. A study found that ten weeks of standard exercise was 20 percent more effective than medication. And get plenty of sleep. Try to get up at the same time every day, even if you haven’t slept well. But if your depression shows no sign of lifting, see your doctor. A. And it sometimes runs in families. B. Can You Shake off the Spring Blues? C. It’s not well understood or often spotted. D. Can Exercise Help Overcome Reverse SAD? E. The spring blues may have a negative effect on people. F. You might also be tempted to stay up later, throwing out your body clock. G. But some people feel more depressed in spring than at other times of the year. 【答案】16. G 17. C 18. F 19. A 20.

But her mom, who was the assistant director of the center, said she was too young. “I’ve volunteered here all year,” she thought proudly, “and I know more about birds than anyone.” Months of studying nature books and online resources had proven her advantage. Yet she sighed. She had never been good at speaking up for herself, and who would listen to a shy seventh grader anyway? Suddenly, Eva Jensen burst in. Lisa felt herself shrink. Eva, who had been a volunteer a bit longer than Lisa, was 16 and walked around like she owned the place. “Hey, Lisa! Job for you,” Eva barked, planting a hand on Lisa’s shoulder. Lisa went rigid but whispered, “I… need to finish filing.” Just then, Lisa’s mother rushed in: “The hurricane is entering the Gulf,” she reported. “The Gulf Shore Preserve needs help preparing for the storm. I’ve got to head down there. You should be okay up here but I need you girls to get the storm shutters down in the first-floor aviary (鸟舍). Stay inside after that.” Lisa leaped to her feet, excited to have an opportunity to help the birds. The girls quickly lowered the shutters. Safely inside, they listened to the wind hammering the shutters. When an emergency weather report flashed on the TV screen, Eva’s face paled. “A storm is heading straight for us!” she exclaimed, her eyes widening in horror. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．开头已给出，请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 “The aviary is to be flooded,” Lisa thought to herself. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hours later, Lisa’s mother returned and found the birds safe in the upstairs room. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “The aviary is to be flooded,” Lisa thought to herself. She pushed down her shyness and took charge, telling Eva they must move the birds upstairs immediately. They grabbed portable cages, gently guiding each bird inside—Lisa whispered reassuring words to calm the frightened creatures, drawing on her knowledge of their habits. The wind howled outside, and water began seeping into the first floor, but they worked quickly, carrying the cages up the stairs to the dry, safe second floor, ensuring no bird was left behind. Hours later, Lisa’s mother returned and found the birds safe in the upstairs room. She stared in surprise, then smiled warmly as Lisa explained how she and Eva had moved the birds. Her mom hugged her tightly, apologizing for thinking she was too young. Eva also chimed in, praising Lisa’s calm and knowledge. From that day, Lisa gained the confidence to speak up, and her mom let her take on more responsibilities with the birds, turning her dream of working with them into reality. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了丽莎渴望参与自然中心的鸟类相关工作，却因年幼被质疑。飓风来临前，她与埃娃按要求关闭鸟舍，后发现风暴逼近，便主动带领埃娃将鸟类转移至安全区域，最终凭借专业和勇气获得认可，实现了照顾鸟类的心愿，也证明了自身能力。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““鸟舍要被水淹了，”丽莎心想。”可知，第一段可描写丽莎主动带领埃娃将鸟类转移至安全区域。 ②由第二段首句内容“几个小时后，丽莎的母亲回来了，发现鸟儿们安全地待在楼上房间里。”可知，第二段可描写丽莎最终凭借专业和勇气获得认可，实现了照顾鸟类的心愿。 2.续写线索：鸟舍要被水淹了——开始行动起来——带领埃娃将鸟类转移至安全区域——丽莎的母亲回来了——鸟儿们安全地待在楼上房间里——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①确保：ensure/ guarantee ②拥抱：hug/ embrace ③收获：gain/ obtain 情绪类 ①轻声地：gently/softly ②惊讶：surprise/astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型1].
