She is right.We take as a given the power to express ourselves freely,and when that power is taken away,we are brought to a place of weakness.Yet if we keep pushing forward despite this weakness,we will unlock a wealth of valuable gains. My three-year-old son has big feelings but has insufficient vocabulary to properly express himself.When I started learning Portuguese,I realized how difficult it must be for him to be understood in the adult world around him.I'm a better parent now. When my husband and I finally visited Portugal and ordered food in Portuguese at a small shop,the server thanked us for taking time to learn their language. Learning Portuguese taught me that attempting to learn someone else's language shows respect not only for their homeland but for the people themselves. Taking on the challenge of Portuguese has also awakened a fire within me.If you had told me a year ago that I would be taking a writing course,competing in competitions at my gym,or learning about car maintenance,I truly wouldn't have believed it.Now I deeply believe that challenging yourself can be rewarding in ways you will never know unless you attempt it. 24.What was the author doing in Paragraph 1?

Scientists are developing innovations in recording and analyzing their communications that could someday make it possible to understand at least some of what whales say to each other in this extraordinary moment.David Gruber,president of Project CTI-Cetacean()Translation Initiative,has gathered dozens of linguists, biologists,roboticists,and experts in artificial intelligence to document the lives and communications of sperm whales.Gruber's team is working to develop a translation tool,which would transform sperm whale sounds into human words.One result of. the research might be a world in which.humans "undeniably understand"these creatures'experience from their own perspectives,and this might breathe new life into whale conservation. Consider,for instance,the problem of ocean noise pollution.Massive marine mammals such as sperm whales depend on highly-specialized echolocation systems to search for food and navigate the vast,lightless zones of the ocean and their highly- developed cerebral neural systems support near-constant communication with companions in their social groups.Thus,sound constitutes an irreplaceable and life sustaining sensory core for them.Growing human noise-oil and gas exploration, construction,and most of all,ship engine noise-is.a clear harm,disturbing the basic activities of sperm whale life. While the evidence of harm is obvious,current laws are far from functional. Existing regulations()provide a legal framework for preventing harm,but noise- related harm is mostly ignored.This is exactly where the breakthrough lies.What if whales were documented not only struggling to make themselves heard above the noise,but actually talking about it?Were a sperm whale heard voicing the pain caused by ship engine noise,its words would likely carry more weight in a.court of law than do human descriptions of the problem.Being able to present the whales' own statement,so to speak,might lead to action being taken. 高三英语：第6页（共11页） 餐巴扫描全能王 然病1亿入群在用的日mA中 2。-22 The pursuit to find and translate complex animal communication should not reduce the worth of creatures who don't appear to have those capacities.We may simply fail to appreciate their intelligence;and the lack of rich communication does not make any life less special.But it would still be incredible,and perhaps transformative,to know what sperm whales say-and this could be seen as an entry point,a beginning rather than a destination,on the journey to appreciating all creatures. 28.What is the main goal of Project CTI? A.To promote cetacean interactions. B.To build a bridge to sperm whales'thoughts. C.To call for regulations to protect sperm whales. D.To secure a safer habitat for endangered whales. 29.The author uses the question underlined in Paragraph 4 to A.express a doubt B.defend a viewpoint C.question an assumption D.introduce a possibility 30.What can we conclude from this passage? A.Research on animals should be conducted with care. B.Understanding whales is a start to unlock their potential. C.Whales'own accounts may help reduce harm from humans. D.The lack of noise-related laws is due to common misconceptions. D A few years ago,I wrote a piece in which I declared that biography,if not quite dead,was in very poor condition.I was concerned that for far too long,it had been criticized that biographies were poorly written and just listed facts from birth to death.I even hesitated before telling people I was a biographer:it felt tantamount to admitting that I was a journalist incapable of original thought. But it turns out to be otherwise.It was more that I hadn't'been looking for it hard enough or in quite the right places.Last weekend,the University of East Anglia hosted a conference at which the masters of biography.took its pulse and gave the encouraging conclusion..What has happened,these experts explained,is that biography has changed its shape.This shift has come from a growing sense that biography as it used to be done was not getting us close to the experience it was trying to describe.We all know that life isn't actually comprised of a stately march through the decades in which loose ends,false trails and those periods where nothing much happens are tidied away out of sight.Mostly our lives feel shapeless,coming into focus only when a particular'occasion makes us feel,for'a few minutes at least, fully ourselves. 高三英语第7页（共11页） 紧因金任 -2。-。。4 To better reveal the authentic.unscripted nature of a life,one new approach to biography employs the presenting of something small to tell a bigger story.Frances Wilson demonstrated how effective this can be in Howo ro Survivo the Titanic.She focuses on the moment when J Bruce Ismay,the ship's owner,jumped into a lifeboat meant for women and children,vividly charting a story about one man's lost honour. Another approach is to organise your story around objects that carried a particular emotional charge for the person you are writing about.In The Real Jane Austen,for instance,biographer Paula Byme pulls out an East Indian shawl()and a carringe that figured in both Austen's personal experience and her fiction,and tells a new story around them.Other biographers have realised that their subject's non-eventful schooling or the long holidays by the sea can be cut down to a few short paragraphs so they can spend more time on the bits that matter. These new ways of telling lives are not entirely driven by intellectual concerns. The pressures are commercial,too.People also have shorter attention spans,which means that those doorstop biographies of 400 pages can start to seem like an approaching threat rather than a delicious promise.But more and more interesting books are being published which deal with the lives of others.They may not announce themselves as "biographies",but that doesn't mean they aren't. 31.What does the word "tantamount"underlined in Paragraph 1 most probably mean? A.Superior. B.Similar. C.Unusual. D,Obvious. 32.Why does the author share his ideas on life in Paragraph 2? A.To assess its significance to biography. B.To justify the emerging trend in biography. C.To emphasize the value of modern biography. D.To argue for the authenticity of conventional biography. 33.As for the new approaches,the author would agree that A.they could be more engaging B.they involve subjective descriptions C.they might be easier for writers to handle D.they help commercialize the publishing industry 34.What is the passage mainly about? A.What biography is all about. B.Whether biography should mirror life C.Why biography is anything but in decline. D.Who defines the literary status of biography. 高三英语第8页（共11页） 紧因金任 -…2。-。。。。- 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答 题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Picture.a table surrounded by curious minds,each desiring to uncover the mysteries of the universe,as they start a journey of intellectual exploration through the art of challenging questions.The scene summarizes the essence of intellectual questions.35 They're the kind of questions that make you frown,scratch your head,and maybe even lose a little sleep. 36 For instance,as AI systems become increasingly complex,we're forced to deal with some pretty.mind-bending questions,like "Will AI ever achieve true consciousness?"or "Could it one day surpass human intelligence?"Environmental sustainability presents another set of urgent scientific questions:"How can we balance economic growth with environmental protection?Could we engineer our way out of a climate disaster?"Similarly,space exploration has fascinated human for centuries. 37 We may wonder:"Could we one day settle on other planets?" You might be wondering:"Why bother with all these heavy questions?Can't we just enjoy a nice,light conversation about the weather?"Well,sure,we could.But where's the fun in that? Asking intellectual questions isn't just a way to sound smart at dinner parties.When we engage with intellectual questions,.we're developing critical thinking skills,enhancing our ability to analyze complex issues,and broadening our understanding of the world. 38 And the benefits go beyond personal development.Engaging in intellectual questions can promote understanding.When we struggle with difficult questions together, we learn to appreciate different viewpoints,to challenge our own assumptions,and to find common ground even in disagreement.39 Didn't many of the world's greatest discoveries and inventions start with someone asking“What if?”or“Why not?” So next time you find yourself in a conversation,don't be afraid to dig a little deeper,to ask the big questions,and to challenge assumptions.Your brain and the world will thank you for it. A.Intellectual questions arise accordingly. B.It's like going to the gym,but for your brain. C.Intellectual questions are not just surface-level inquiries. D.Moreover,raising big questions drives innovation and progress. E.In a world full of challenges,they are more important than ever. F.As we explore further,the questions touch on the very fabric of our society. G.The questions that unlock deep insights and meaningful connections lie in every corner. 高三英语第9页（共11页） 紧巴金任 第三部分书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 Last month,I visited a well-known art museum in the city with my wife.As we stood before a priceless impressionist painting,I noticed something strange:nearly every teenager around us was not looking at the paintings.Their arms extended,and their eyes were fixed on the small screens of their cellphones.They were taking photos-dozens of them-framing the artwork and adjusting angles,all without pausing to actually see the painting itself. This scene made me wonder:have we,as a generation,lost the ability to experience life directly?It seems that for many of us,an event.is not real unless it is documented and shared on social media.We don't just go to a concert;we capture it to post online.We don't just watch a sunset;we film it for the social media platform. I used to be one of those people.Last summer,I went to a music festival and spent the entire night holding my phone above my head,trying to record every song. When I got home,I was exhausted-and disappointed.My videos were shaky,the audio was terrible,and I couldn't remember a single note I had "watched"live. Worse,I had missed the chance to dance with my friends or feel the music in my bones.That night,I realized I had prioritized sharing the moment.over living it. So,I have made a promise to myself:to put my phone down more often and be fully present in those times that make life meaningful.We need to look at the painting instead of photographing it,and dance to the music instead of recording it. Why let our phone cameras become a barrier between us and the world?After all,the best memories are not the ones we capture on camera-they are the ones we capture in our hearts. 40.What were the teenagers busy doing in the museum? 41.What did the author realize after the music festival? 42.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why. >For the best memories,the author has decided to keep records of the meaningful moments. 43.Do you agree that the cellphone camera has become a barrier between us and the world?Why or why not?(In about 40 words) 高三英语第10页（共11页）： 馨田全 第二节(20分) 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你的外国好友Jim正在策划一次班级研学活 动，就活动的主题来信征求你的建议。请你用英文给他回信，内容包括： 1.你的建议； 2.建议的理由。 注意：1.词数100左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, Yours, Li Hua (请务必将作文写在答题卡指定区域内)》 高三英语第11页（共11页） 0…2…-2 北京市东城区2025一2026学年度第二学期高三综合练习（二） 英语参考答案及评分标准 2026.5 第一部分知识运用（共两节，30分） 第一节（共10小题：每小题1.5分，共15分） 1.D 2.A 3.D 4.C 5.B 6.B 7.C 8.A 9.B 10.D 第二节（共10小题：每小题1.5分，共15分） I1.had realized/realized 12.what 13.Magically 14,was inspired 15.reducing 16.With 17.to tackle 18.whose 19.less scientific 20.equipped 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，38分） 第一节（共14小题：每小题2分.共28分） 21.A 22.A 23.B 21.C 25.D 26.D 27.C 28.B 29.D 30.C 31.B 32.B 33.A 34.C 第二节 (共5小题：每小题2分，共10分) 35.C 36.G 37.A 38.B 39.D 第三部分书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题：第40、4】题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 40.They were busy taking photos of the artwork. 41.He had prioritized sharing the moment over living it. 12.For the best memories,the author has decided to keep records of the meaningful moments.
