They close their “scales”(鳞片) tightly over the seeds to protect them from cold, wind, ice and hungry animals, and open up only when the weather is warm and dry enough to release seeds, ensuring they spread in good conditions. This simple experiment lets you observe how temperature and wetness affect pine cone scale movement in your own kitchen. Objective Observe how temperature affects pine cone size and scale movement. Materials 3 cones, a marker, a ruler, a bowl of ice water, a foil-covered baking tray, an oven Procedure 1. Label pine cones A/B/C, measure and record their initial length and size. 2. Put cone A in ice water for 2 mins, dry it and record its new size. 3. Place cones A and B on the baking tray. Bake at 120℃ for 45 mins. 4. Take out the tray and let the cones cool completely. 5. Measure all three cones again after cooling. 6. Compare the final measurements, noting that cone C functioned as the control group. 7. Analyze the data to explain the size changes and which cone changed the most. Pine cone scales change shape as plant fibers absorb or release water depending on temperature and wetness. Cold, wet conditions make the fibers expand, which makes the scales close tightly; warm, dry conditions make the fibers shrink (萎缩), letting the scales open and release seeds. This experiment demonstrates how pine cones adapt to their environment to protect and spread seeds — a brilliant example of nature’s engineering. 1. What does the experiment aim to find out? A. Animals’ effect on pine cone growth. B. Impact of temperature on pine cones. C. Different ways to keep proper wetness. D. Methods to store pine tree seeds in winter. 2. Why is cone C used in the experiment? A. To serve as a comparison. B. To record the original size. C. To test the role of baking. D. To examine icy water’s function. 3. Where is this text most probably taken from? A. A DIY craft website. B. An outdoor nature handbook. C. A kids’ science magazine. D. A professional research paper. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3.

For years, my longing for adventure had been drowned out by family, work and responsibilities. Yet as I turned 60, the inner call grew increasingly urgent, accompanied by fears that I had missed my last chance. Around that period, I was working with Jack, a 30-year-old client who intended to quit his job and explore the world. Our weekly talks acted like a mirror, pushing me to face my own fears of being laughed at, criticized by others, and abandoning the comfortable life I had been used to. According to a travel survey, I am far from alone. Among more than 2,800 respondents, 20% of people over 50 plan to travel alone, and 91% have experienced such trips. A strong sense of independence and a “seize the moment” attitude are inspiring older travelers to see the world in their own way. The real inner conflict appeared when I was about to book my flight. Part of me silently prayed that the payment might not go through. However, I realized that the mixed feelings of excitement and terror are quite normal. As people age, steady routines bring a sense of security, yet many people limit themselves to the comfort zone long after it stops benefiting them. Fortunately, I had my family’s full support. My husband and children all encouraged me to follow my heart. Their warmth left me wondering why I had hesitated for so many years. Research shows that facing fears helps produce dopamine, the brain’s “feel-good” chemical. As I often tell my clients, “Nothing grows in the comfort zone except regret.” Now prepared to board my flight, I firmly believe fortune favors the brave. It is better to live bravely than to let dreams die without trying. 4. Why did the author decide to travel solo at 60? A. She was inspired by Jack’s plan. B. She was motivated by a travel survey. C. She finally responded to her inner call. D. She attempted to abandon responsibilities. 5. What is the purpose of mentioning the travel survey? A. To show that travel appeals to all. B. To prove her choice is widely shared. C. To stress we should seize the moment. D. To indicate seniors value independence. 6. What can be known about the author from paragraph 4? A. She doubted her comfort zone. B. She silently prayed to miss the trip. C. She worried about breaking routines. D. She was torn between joy and worry. 7. What message does the author want to convey? A. Overcome fears to avoid regret. B. Appreciate support from family. C. Follow your dreams despite age. D. Prioritize security over adventure. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了作者在60岁时决定独自旅行，克服内心的恐惧和不安，勇敢追求梦想的故事，鼓励人们无论年龄多大都要追随自己的梦想。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Yet as I turned 60, the inner call grew increasingly urgent, accompanied by fears that I had missed my last chance. (然而，当我60岁时，内心的呼唤变得越来越迫切，同时我也担心自己错过了最后的机会。)”可知，作者60岁时决定独自旅行是因为她最终回应了内心的呼唤。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“According to a travel survey, I am far from alone. Among more than 2,800 respondents, 20% of people over 50 plan to travel alone, and 91% have experienced such trips. (根据一项旅行调查，我并不孤单。在2800多名受访者中，20%的50岁以上的人计划独自旅行，91%的人有过这样的旅行经历。)”可知，提到旅行调查的目的是为了证明作者的选择是被广泛分享的，即很多人都有独自旅行的想法或经历。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The real inner conflict appeared when I was about to book my flight. Part of me silently prayed that the payment might not go through. However, I realized that the mixed feelings of excitement and terror are quite normal. (当我准备预订机票时，真正的内心冲突出现了。我内心的一部分默默祈祷付款可能不会成功。然而，我意识到兴奋和恐惧的混合感觉是很正常的。)”可知，作者在预订机票时既兴奋又恐惧，内心很矛盾。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“At 60, I finally decided to pursue a dream that I had ignored for decades: traveling solo along Australia’s western coast.(60岁时，我终于决定追求一个我忽略了几十年的梦想：独自沿着澳大利亚西海岸旅行)”以及文章内容可知，文章主要讲述了作者在60岁时决定独自旅行，尽管面临内心的恐惧和不安，但在家人的支持和自己的决心下，最终决定勇敢追求梦想的故事。作者想传达的信息是，无论年龄多大，都应该追随自己的梦想。 C The earth has officially passed its first climate tipping point — a point where many small changes lead to a sudden big shift in the climate system, just like the last straw that breaks a camel’s back. Rising ocean temperatures have pushed warm water corals worldwide beyond their tolerance limits. Corals are now dying at a record rate, threatening not only the reefs but also the livelihoods of about one billion people who depend on the ocean. Scientists reached this conclusion in the Global Tipping Points Report 2025, led by the University of Exeter and involving more than 160 researchers from 23 countries. Worse still, this is just the beginning. The world has already suffered hundreds of extreme weather events in recent years, and more tipping points are approaching rapidly. If the Earth continues to warm, the Amazon rainforest may die back, ice sheets could melt quickly, and a key ocean-current system might break down. Of these threats, the Amazon is a major concern. Deforestation there, combined with rising temperatures, has greatly increased the risk of reaching more tipping points soon. Without immediate action, these crises will only worsen, affecting every corner of the globe. Still, there may be a silver lining. Steve Smith, a geographer at the University of Exeter, notes: “Since 2023, we’ve witnessed encouraging developments in the global adoption of clean technologies.” Electric vehicles and solar-cell tech are among them, and battery prices have dropped. The report stresses that governments need a complete reform in their climate policies. Immediate action is required to cut harmful emissions, remove carbon dioxide, and protect forests. Delaying will only lead to more serious climate damage. Everyone should act now before it is too late, whether by choosing low-carbon products or spreading the message of climate protection. 8. How does the author explain “tipping point” in paragraph 1? A. By listing a fact. B. By stating an argument. C. By raising a question. D. By making a definition. 9. What can be inferred about the Amazon rainforest in paragraph 3? A. It has already died back completely. B. It may face potential ecological collapse. C. It has been saved from the tipping point. D. It is threatened by ineffective local action. 10. What does the underlined phrase “a silver lining” mean in paragraph 4? A. An amazing sight. B. A hidden concern. C. A promising sign. D. A natural wonder. 11. What is this text mainly about? A. Steps to protect endangered ecosystems. B. Climate crises and urgent action needed. C. Recent progress in clean energy technologies. D. The Amazon’s role in causing climate disasters. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了地球已经越过了第一个气候临界点，气候危机日益严重，并强调了采取紧急行动以应对气候变化的必要性。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The earth has officially passed its first climate tipping point — a point where many small changes lead to a sudden big shift in the climate system, just like the last straw that breaks a camel’s back. (地球已经正式越过了第一个气候临界点——许多小的变化导致气候系统突然发生大的转变，就像压垮骆驼的最后一根稻草。)”可知，作者通过下定义的方式解释了“tipping point”。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“If the Earth continues to warm, the Amazon rainforest may die back, ice sheets could melt quickly, and a key ocean-current system might break down. Of these threats, the Amazon is a major concern. Deforestation there, combined with rising temperatures, has greatly increased the risk of reaching more tipping points soon. (如果地球继续变暖，亚马逊雨林可能会退化，冰盖可能会迅速融化，一个关键的洋流系统可能会崩溃。在这些威胁中，亚马逊雨林是一个主要关注点。那里的森林砍伐，加上气温上升，大大增加了很快达到更多临界点的风险。)”可知，亚马逊雨林可能面临潜在的生态崩溃。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Still, there may be a silver lining. Steve Smith, a geographer at the University of Exeter, notes: “Since 2023, we’ve witnessed encouraging developments in the global adoption of clean technologies.” Electric vehicles and solar-cell tech are among them, and battery prices have dropped. (尽管如此，仍可能有a silver lining。埃克塞特大学地理学家史蒂夫·史密斯指出：“自2023年以来，我们见证了全球采用清洁技术的令人鼓舞的发展。”电动汽车和太阳能电池技术就是其中之一，电池价格也有所下降。)”可知，尽管气候危机严重，但清洁技术的发展带来了希望。因此，a silver lining的意思是“一个有希望的迹象”。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The earth has officially passed its first climate tipping point — a point where many small changes lead to a sudden big shift in the climate system, just like the last straw that breaks a camel’s back.(地球已经正式通过了它的第一个气候临界点——在这个临界点上，许多微小的变化会导致气候系统的突然大转变，就像压垮骆驼的最后一根稻草一样)”、最后一段“The report stresses that governments need a complete reform in their climate policies. Immediate action is required to cut harmful emissions, remove carbon dioxide, and protect forests.(报告强调，各国政府需要对其气候政策进行彻底改革。需要立即采取行动，减少有害排放，清除二氧化碳，保护森林)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了地球已经越过了第一个气候临界点，气候危机日益严重，并强调了采取紧急行动的必要性，包括减少有害排放、去除二氧化碳和保护森林等，故文章的主旨大意是：气候危机和需要采取的紧急行动。 D As the world’s appetite for electronic devices grows, e-waste is raising alarms. A 2024 UN report reveals 62 million tons of e-waste was generated in 2022, most going to landfills. This harms the environment with poisonous substances, and causes a $62 billion yearly economic loss, as valuable rare earth elements are thrown away. With e-waste rising five times faster than recycling rates, new solutions are urgently needed. Aquafade could be one — a water-soluble (溶水) plastic that breaks down completely in about six hours when placed in water. It could cover electronics and break down when the device is unwanted, making it easier to recover valuable parts. The inspiration came from an unlikely source: dishwasher pods (凝珠). One night, inventor Samuel Wangsaputra noticed the water-soluble film on a pod. Curious, he put one in water and watched it disappear. “I thought, this must be some form of polymer. But where does it go?” he recalled. This led him to explore PVOH, a material used in glue sticks and dishwasher pods. It is safe for food, biodegradable, and could make electronics easier to recycle at home. He teamed up with two material scientists at Imperial College London, to find out more. The challenge was creating a plastic both water-soluble and waterproof. The team developed a coating that protects devices from liquid — but once a screw (螺丝) is removed and the device is placed in water, the cover breaks down within hours, leaving only milky water and valuable electronic parts. However, experts urge caution. Peter Edwards of Oxford University questions whether the broken-down plastic might become microplastics. Michael Shaver of Manchester University adds, “The hard part is in the details — electronics have high requirements. They need to meet high standards for safety, fire resistance, and durability. “These technical difficulties may prove more challenging than expected. Despite the challenges, the Aquafade team dreams of turning today’s e-waste crisis into tomorrow’s clean cycle. 12. What can best describe Samuel Wangsaputra according to paragraph 3? A. Creative and determined. B. Honest and brave. C. Curious and questioning. D. Confident and intelligent. 13. What is a disadvantage of Aquafade? A. Its durability is unsatisfactory. B. Its waterproof feature may fail. C. It takes too long to break down. D. It may lead to microplastic pollution. 14. What is the author’s attitude toward the future of Aquafade? A. Highly skeptical. B. Cautiously hopeful. C. Fully supportive. D. Completely neutral. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. A New Invention to Solve E-waste Crisis B. The Harm of E-waste to the Environment C. A Tip to Recycle Electronic Devices Easily D. The Challenge of Developing New Plastics 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一种名为Aquafade的新型水溶性塑料，它有望通过使电子产品更容易回收来减少电子垃圾对环境造成的危害。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“One night, inventor Samuel Wangsaputra noticed the water-soluble film on a pod. Curious, he put one in water and watched it disappear. “I thought, this must be some form of polymer. But where does it go?” he recalled. (一天晚上，发明家Samuel Wangsaputra注意到凝珠上的水溶性薄膜。出于好奇，他把一个放进水里，看着它消失。“我想，这一定是某种聚合物。但它会去哪里呢？”他回忆道。)”可知，Samuel Wangsaputra对凝珠上的水溶性薄膜感到好奇，并提出了问题，这表明他具有好奇和质疑的品质。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“However, experts urge caution. Peter Edwards of Oxford University questions whether the broken-down plastic might become microplastics. (然而，专家们敦促谨慎行事。牛津大学的Peter Edwards质疑分解后的塑料是否会变成微塑料。)”可知，Aquafade的一个缺点是它可能会导致微塑料污染。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite the challenges, the Aquafade team dreams of turning today’s e-waste crisis into tomorrow’s clean cycle. (尽管面临挑战，Aquafade团队梦想着将今天的电子垃圾危机转化为明天的清洁循环。)”可知，作者对Aquafade的未来持谨慎乐观的态度。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Aquafade could be one — a water-soluble (溶水) plastic that breaks down completely in about six hours when placed in water. It could cover electronics and break down when the device is unwanted, making it easier to recover valuable parts.(Aquafade可能是一种水溶性塑料，在水中放置约6小时后完全分解。它可以覆盖电子设备，并在设备不需要时分解，从而更容易回收有价值的零件)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了一种名为Aquafade的新型水溶性塑料，它有望解决电子垃圾危机，通过使电子产品更容易回收来减少环境污染和经济损失，故最佳标题为“A New Invention to Solve E-waste Crisis (一项解决电子垃圾危机的新发明)”。 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。 A classic song says, “Everybody needs good neighbours.” But in 2026, do we still need them? Or have we forgotten how to be friendly with those around us? ____16____ But these days, many live next door for years without learning their names. Is neighbourliness disappearing? Studies show we have less contact with neighbours than before. One survey found that 76% of us believe people were closer to neighbours 20 years ago than today. ____17____ There are reasons behind this fact. People today move homes more often for work or family needs, making long-term connections harder. In smaller communities, people attend the same schools or shops, so they get to know each other easily. But in cities with larger populations, these chance meetings happen less often. ____18____ Long office hours or irregular remote work means neighbours may not see each other. At the same time, many of us care more about privacy. Often, our only interactions are arguments about noise or shared areas. ____19____ A global study found that knowing just six neighbours can reduce loneliness and help people feel safer. For older people or those in poor health, informal acts of support from neighbors can be life-changing. Age UK has highlighted how regular neighbourly contact can help older residents stay independent for longer, while reducing social isolation. Ultimately, there’s no hard and fast rulebook to being a good neighbour. ____20____ But at the very least, making sure to smile and offer a kind word can go much further than you might think. A. Our working patterns also play a part. B. However, having good neighbours still matters. C. Most people spend more time socializing than working. D. What feels caring to one may feel unwelcome to another. E. Once, our front doors remained unlocked for friendly faces. F. It also found that one in five have never spoken to neighbours. G. The survey also noted urban residents interact less with neighbours. 【答案】16. E 17. F 18. A 19. B 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了现代社会邻里关系疏远的现象、原因及拥有好邻居仍很重要。 【16题详解】 上文“A classic song says, “Everybody needs good neighbours. “But in 2026, do we still need them? Or have we forgotten how to be friendly with those around us? (一首经典歌曲唱道：“每个人都需要好邻居。”但在2026年，我们还需要他们吗？还是我们已经忘记了如何与周围的人友好相处？)”通过经典歌曲引出关于邻里关系的讨论，并提出了对现代社会邻里关系现状的疑问。E选项“Once, our front doors remained unlocked for friendly faces. (曾经，我们的前门都不上锁，以便友善的邻居来访。)”描述了过去邻里关系友好、门户开放的状态，与上文提到的经典歌曲中的邻里友好理念相呼应，同时与下文“But these days, many live next door for years without learning their names. (但如今，许多人住在隔壁多年却不知道对方的名字。)”形成鲜明对比，突出了邻里关系的变化，符合语境。 【17题详解】 上文“One survey found that 76% of us believe people were closer to neighbours 20 years ago than today. (一项调查发现，76%的人认为20年前人们与邻居的关系比现在更亲密。)”通过调查数据说明了过去邻里关系比现在更亲密。F选项“It also found that one in five have never spoken to neighbours. (该调查还发现，五分之一的人从未与邻居说过话。)”进一步补充了调查结果，揭示了现在邻里关系的疏远程度，与上文紧密相连，共同构成了对邻里关系变化的描述。 【18题详解】 上文“There are reasons behind this fact. People today move homes more often for work or family needs, making long-term connections harder. In smaller communities, people attend the same schools or shops, so they get to know each other easily. But in cities with larger populations, these chance meetings happen less often. (这一现象背后有原因。如今，人们更频繁地因工作或家庭需要搬家，这使得建立长期关系变得更加困难。在较小的社区里，人们上同一所学校或去同一家商店，所以他们很容易认识彼此。但在人口较多的城市里，这种偶遇的机会就少了。)”分析了邻里关系疏远的原因，包括频繁搬家和城市人口多导致偶遇机会减少等，A选项“Our working patterns also play a part. (我们的工作模式也起到了一定作用。)”承接上文，并引出下文“Long office hours or irregular remote work means neighbours may not see each other. (长时间办公或不定期远程工作意味着邻居可能见不到彼此。)”中提到的长时间办公或远程工作等导致邻里之间难以见面的工作模式因素，共同构成了对邻里关系疏远原因的全面分析，符合语境。 【19题详解】 下文“A global study found that knowing just six neighbours can reduce loneliness and help people feel safer. For older people or those in poor health, informal acts of support from neighbors can be life-changing. (一项全球研究发现，只要认识六个邻居就能减少孤独感，让人们感到更安全。对于老年人或健康状况不佳的人来说，邻居的非正式支持可能会改变他们的生活。)”通过全球研究的结果强调了邻里关系的重要性，特别是对减少孤独感和提供支持方面的作用。B选项“However, having good neighbours still matters. (然而，有好邻居仍然很重要。)”作为上文的转折和下文的引子，既总结了上文关于邻里关系疏远的讨论，又引出了下文关于邻里关系重要性的论述，起到了承上启下的作用。 【20题详解】 上文“Ultimately, there’s no hard and fast rulebook to being a good neighbour. (最终，成为好邻居并没有固定的规则。)”以及下文“But at the very least, making sure to smile and offer a kind word can go much further than you might think. (但至少，确保微笑并说一句善意的话会比你想的更有用。)”指出成为好邻居没有固定规则，下文则提出了一个具体的建议，即微笑并说善意的话。D选项“What feels caring to one may feel unwelcome to another. (对一个人来说感到关心的行为，对另一个人来说可能不受欢迎。)”解释没有统一标准的原因，衔接顺畅，符合语境。 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 wasn’t looking for another dog, but this dog was looking for me.

Rocks rushed down the mountain like a violent flood. The terrifying sound came from the very spot where her husband, Kel Morris, had stood just a minute earlier. The 61-year-old couple were hiking along Godwin Creek in Seward, Alaska. They loved nature and often explored the mountains together. That day, they were searching for a safe place to cross. The area was quiet and beautiful, but also filled with loose rocks and steep (陡峭的) hillsides. They decided to separate briefly to find a better crossing. Morris moved closer to the steep rock face, while Roop walked a short distance downstream. Earlier, she had noticed how unstable the rocks were. As she turned back to rejoin her husband, the landslide suddenly occurred about ten yards behind her. “Kel! Kel!” she screamed. But no reply came — the roaring water and crashing rocks drowned out her voice. Roop’s heart sank. She feared he was gone. Then she spotted him. He lay by the stream, half-buried under rocks and mud. Only his head and shoulders were visible. A massive, half-moon-shaped rock pressed heavily on his body. He was conscious but trapped. His left leg was bent at an unnatural angle. The rock weighed about 700 pounds. Shocked but still calm, Roop tried with all her strength to lift it, but it didn’t move. Morris pushed up from below with his arms while Roop pulled from the side. Together, they managed to move it just slightly — but that was all. Worse still, there was no phone signal. Roop couldn’t call for help immediately. She feared that if the rock shifted the wrong way, it might crush (压) him completely. In the freezing water, Morris trembled violently. “Go and get help,” he said weakly, handing her his phone. “Now you have two phones. Keep going until you get a signal.” Roop didn’t want to leave him alone in such danger, but she had no choice. 注意： 1．写作词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 She ran as fast as possible, her heart pounding with fear and determination. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The distant sound of a helicopter ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 She ran as fast as possible, her heart pounding with fear and determination. Holding the two phones tightly, she glanced back now and then, worrying about Morris being trapped in the freezing water. The rough, stony path made her run unsteadily, and her legs ached badly, but she dared not stop. After twenty minutes, she finally got a weak signal. Without hesitation, she quickly dialed 911, crying and explaining the situation clearly, including their exact location and Morris’s dangerous condition. As soon as she hung up, she ran back to stay with him, not wanting him to be alone in danger any longer. The distant sound of a helicopter cut through the silence an hour later. Roop jumped for joy, waving wildly and shouting to attract their attention. The helicopter landed nearby, and rescuers rushed out with tools, moving quickly but carefully. They followed Roop to the stream, checked Morris first, and then worked together to move the rock and pull him out gently. Pale from cold and pain, Morris was weak but conscious, smiling weakly at Roop. Tears of relief rolled down their cheeks, and he was soon flown to the hospital. This experience made them realize that love, calmness, and courage could pull people through any difficulty. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Jo Roop和丈夫Kel Morris在阿拉斯加徒步旅行时遭遇山体滑坡，Morris被巨石压住，Roop在无法立即求救的情况下，奋力跑去获取信号并成功呼叫救援，最终丈夫获救的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可描写Roop拼命奔跑获取信号并报警，然后返回陪伴丈夫。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可描写救援人员到达并成功救出Morris，两人感动落泪，丈夫被送往医院。 2. 续写线索： Roop拼命奔跑→获取信号→报警→返回陪伴丈夫→直升机到达→救援人员救出Morris→两人感动落泪→丈夫被送往医院 3. 词汇激活 行为类： ①解释：explain/describe/clarify ②检查：check/examine ③意识到：realize/be aware 情绪类： ①喜悦：joy/happiness/delight ②宽慰：relief/comfort/ease 【点睛】【高分句型1】As soon as she hung up, she ran back to stay with him, not wanting him to be alone in danger any longer.(运用了as soon as引导的状语从句) 【高分句型2】Roop jumped for joy, waving wildly and shouting to attract their attention.(运用了现在分词短语作状语，动词不定式短语作目的状语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★启用前 高三 英语 满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、班级和考号填写在答题卡上。 2．作答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目选项的答案信息点涂黑；如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案。非选择题必须用黑色字迹钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内相应位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案；不准使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答的答案无效。答案不能答在试卷上。 3．考生必须保持答题卡的整洁，考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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5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。 1.

They close their “scales”(鳞片) tightly over the seeds to protect them from cold, wind, ice and hungry animals, and open up only when the weather is warm and dry enough to release seeds, ensuring they spread in good conditions. This simple experiment lets you observe how temperature and wetness affect pine cone scale movement in your own kitchen. Objective Observe how temperature affects pine cone size and scale movement. Materials 3 cones, a marker, a ruler, a bowl of ice water, a foil-covered baking tray, an oven Procedure 1. Label pine cones A/B/C, measure and record their initial length and size. 2. Put cone A in ice water for 2 mins, dry it and record its new size. 3. Place cones A and B on the baking tray. Bake at 120℃ for 45 mins. 4. Take out the tray and let the cones cool completely. 5. Measure all three cones again after cooling. 6. Compare the final measurements, noting that cone C functioned as the control group. 7. Analyze the data to explain the size changes and which cone changed the most. Pine cone scales change shape as plant fibers absorb or release water depending on temperature and wetness. Cold, wet conditions make the fibers expand, which makes the scales close tightly; warm, dry conditions make the fibers shrink (萎缩), letting the scales open and release seeds. This experiment demonstrates how pine cones adapt to their environment to protect and spread seeds — a brilliant example of nature’s engineering. 1. What does the experiment aim to find out? A. Animals’ effect on pine cone growth. B. Impact of temperature on pine cones. C. Different ways to keep proper wetness. D. Methods to store pine tree seeds in winter. 2. Why is cone C used in the experiment? A. To serve as a comparison. B. To record the original size. C. To test the role of baking. D. To examine icy water’s function. 3. Where is this text most probably taken from? A. A DIY craft website. B. An outdoor nature handbook. C. A kids’ science magazine. D. A professional research paper. B At 60, I finally decided to pursue a dream that I had ignored for decades: traveling solo along Australia’s western coast. For years, my longing for adventure had been drowned out by family, work and responsibilities. Yet as I turned 60, the inner call grew increasingly urgent, accompanied by fears that I had missed my last chance. Around that period, I was working with Jack, a 30-year-old client who intended to quit his job and explore the world. Our weekly talks acted like a mirror, pushing me to face my own fears of being laughed at, criticized by others, and abandoning the comfortable life I had been used to. According to a travel survey, I am far from alone. Among more than 2,800 respondents, 20% of people over 50 plan to travel alone, and 91% have experienced such trips. A strong sense of independence and a “seize the moment” attitude are inspiring older travelers to see the world in their own way. The real inner conflict appeared when I was about to book my flight. Part of me silently prayed that the payment might not go through. However, I realized that the mixed feelings of excitement and terror are quite normal. As people age, steady routines bring a sense of security, yet many people limit themselves to the comfort zone long after it stops benefiting them. Fortunately, I had my family’s full support. My husband and children all encouraged me to follow my heart. Their warmth left me wondering why I had hesitated for so many years. Research shows that facing fears helps produce dopamine, the brain’s “feel-good” chemical. As I often tell my clients, “Nothing grows in the comfort zone except regret.” Now prepared to board my flight, I firmly believe fortune favors the brave. It is better to live bravely than to let dreams die without trying. 4. Why did the author decide to travel solo at 60? A. She was inspired by Jack’s plan. B. She was motivated by a travel survey. C. She finally responded to her inner call. D. She attempted to abandon responsibilities. 5. What is the purpose of mentioning the travel survey? A. To show that travel appeals to all. B. To prove her choice is widely shared. C. To stress we should seize the moment. D. To indicate seniors value independence. 6. What can be known about the author from paragraph 4? A. She doubted her comfort zone. B. She silently prayed to miss the trip. C. She worried about breaking routines. D. She was torn between joy and worry. 7. What message does the author want to convey? A. Overcome fears to avoid regret. B. Appreciate support from family. C. Follow your dreams despite age. D. Prioritize security over adventure. C The earth has officially passed its first climate tipping point — a point where many small changes lead to a sudden big shift in the climate system, just like the last straw that breaks a camel’s back. Rising ocean temperatures have pushed warm water corals worldwide beyond their tolerance limits. Corals are now dying at a record rate, threatening not only the reefs but also the livelihoods of about one billion people who depend on the ocean. Scientists reached this conclusion in the Global Tipping Points Report 2025, led by the University of Exeter and involving more than 160 researchers from 23 countries. Worse still, this is just the beginning. The world has already suffered hundreds of extreme weather events in recent years, and more tipping points are approaching rapidly. If the Earth continues to warm, the Amazon rainforest may die back, ice sheets could melt quickly, and a key ocean-current system might break down. Of these threats, the Amazon is a major concern. Deforestation there, combined with rising temperatures, has greatly increased the risk of reaching more tipping points soon. Without immediate action, these crises will only worsen, affecting every corner of the globe. Still, there may be a silver lining. Steve Smith, a geographer at the University of Exeter, notes: “Since 2023, we’ve witnessed encouraging developments in the global adoption of clean technologies.” Electric vehicles and solar-cell tech are among them, and battery prices have dropped. The report stresses that governments need a complete reform in their climate policies. Immediate action is required to cut harmful emissions, remove carbon dioxide, and protect forests. Delaying will only lead to more serious climate damage. Everyone should act now before it is too late, whether by choosing low-carbon products or spreading the message of climate protection. 8. How does the author explain “tipping point” in paragraph 1? A. By listing a fact. B. By stating an argument. C. By raising a question. D. By making a definition. 9. What can be inferred about the Amazon rainforest in paragraph 3? A. It has already died back completely. B. It may face potential ecological collapse. C. It has been saved from the tipping point. D. It is threatened by ineffective local action. 10. What does the underlined phrase “a silver lining” mean in paragraph 4? A. An amazing sight. B. A hidden concern. C. A promising sign. D. A natural wonder. 11. What is this text mainly about? A. Steps to protect endangered ecosystems. B. Climate crises and urgent action needed. C. Recent progress in clean energy technologies. D. The Amazon’s role in causing climate disasters. D As the world’s appetite for electronic devices grows, e-waste is raising alarms. A 2024 UN report reveals 62 million tons of e-waste was generated in 2022, most going to landfills. This harms the environment with poisonous substances, and causes a $62 billion yearly economic loss, as valuable rare earth elements are thrown away. With e-waste rising five times faster than recycling rates, new solutions are urgently needed. Aquafade could be one — a water-soluble (溶水) plastic that breaks down completely in about six hours when placed in water. It could cover electronics and break down when the device is unwanted, making it easier to recover valuable parts. The inspiration came from an unlikely source: dishwasher pods (凝珠). One night, inventor Samuel Wangsaputra noticed the water-soluble film on a pod. Curious, he put one in water and watched it disappear. “I thought, this must be some form of polymer. But where does it go?” he recalled. This led him to explore PVOH, a material used in glue sticks and dishwasher pods. It is safe for food, biodegradable, and could make electronics easier to recycle at home. He teamed up with two material scientists at Imperial College London, to find out more. The challenge was creating a plastic both water-soluble and waterproof. The team developed a coating that protects devices from liquid — but once a screw (螺丝) is removed and the device is placed in water, the cover breaks down within hours, leaving only milky water and valuable electronic parts. However, experts urge caution. Peter Edwards of Oxford University questions whether the broken-down plastic might become microplastics. Michael Shaver of Manchester University adds, “The hard part is in the details — electronics have high requirements. They need to meet high standards for safety, fire resistance, and durability. “These technical difficulties may prove more challenging than expected. Despite the challenges, the Aquafade team dreams of turning today’s e-waste crisis into tomorrow’s clean cycle. 12. What can best describe Samuel Wangsaputra according to paragraph 3? A. Creative and determined. B. Honest and brave. C. Curious and questioning. D. Confident and intelligent. 13. What is a disadvantage of Aquafade? A. Its durability is unsatisfactory. B. Its waterproof feature may fail. C. It takes too long to break down. D. It may lead to microplastic pollution. 14. What is the author’s attitude toward the future of Aquafade? A. Highly skeptical. B. Cautiously hopeful. C. Fully supportive. D. Completely neutral. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. A New Invention to Solve E-waste Crisis B.

Or have we forgotten how to be friendly with those around us? ____16____ But these days, many live next door for years without learning their names. Is neighbourliness disappearing? Studies show we have less contact with neighbours than before. One survey found that 76% of us believe people were closer to neighbours 20 years ago than today. ____17____ There are reasons behind this fact. People today move homes more often for work or family needs, making long-term connections harder. In smaller communities, people attend the same schools or shops, so they get to know each other easily. But in cities with larger populations, these chance meetings happen less often. ____18____ Long office hours or irregular remote work means neighbours may not see each other. At the same time, many of us care more about privacy. Often, our only interactions are arguments about noise or shared areas. ____19____ A global study found that knowing just six neighbours can reduce loneliness and help people feel safer. For older people or those in poor health, informal acts of support from neighbors can be life-changing. Age UK has highlighted how regular neighbourly contact can help older residents stay independent for longer, while reducing social isolation. Ultimately, there’s no hard and fast rulebook to being a good neighbour. ____20____ But at the very least, making sure to smile and offer a kind word can go much further than you might think. A. Our working patterns also play a part. B. However, having good neighbours still matters. C. Most people spend more time socializing than working. D. What feels caring to one may feel unwelcome to another. E. Once, our front doors remained unlocked for friendly faces. F. It also found that one in five have never spoken to neighbours. G. The survey also noted urban residents interact less with neighbours. 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 wasn’t looking for another dog, but this dog was looking for me.

Rocks rushed down the mountain like a violent flood. The terrifying sound came from the very spot where her husband, Kel Morris, had stood just a minute earlier. The 61-year-old couple were hiking along Godwin Creek in Seward, Alaska. They loved nature and often explored the mountains together. That day, they were searching for a safe place to cross. The area was quiet and beautiful, but also filled with loose rocks and steep (陡峭的) hillsides. They decided to separate briefly to find a better crossing. Morris moved closer to the steep rock face, while Roop walked a short distance downstream. Earlier, she had noticed how unstable the rocks were. As she turned back to rejoin her husband, the landslide suddenly occurred about ten yards behind her. “Kel! Kel!” she screamed. But no reply came — the roaring water and crashing rocks drowned out her voice. Roop’s heart sank. She feared he was gone. Then she spotted him. He lay by the stream, half-buried under rocks and mud. Only his head and shoulders were visible. A massive, half-moon-shaped rock pressed heavily on his body. He was conscious but trapped. His left leg was bent at an unnatural angle. The rock weighed about 700 pounds. Shocked but still calm, Roop tried with all her strength to lift it, but it didn’t move. Morris pushed up from below with his arms while Roop pulled from the side. Together, they managed to move it just slightly — but that was all. Worse still, there was no phone signal. Roop couldn’t call for help immediately. She feared that if the rock shifted the wrong way, it might crush (压) him completely. In the freezing water, Morris trembled violently. “Go and get help,” he said weakly, handing her his phone. “Now you have two phones. Keep going until you get a signal.” Roop didn’t want to leave him alone in such danger, but she had no choice. 注意： 1．写作词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 She ran as fast as possible, her heart pounding with fear and determination. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The distant sound of a helicopter ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
