I’d like to share something about it. During the activity, students enthusiastically contributed unused belongings, such as outgrown clothes and pre-loved books. We also set up collection points in the hallways, with student volunteers actively helping sort the donations. While a significant portion was channeled to local charities, the true highlight was our creative DIY workshops, where we transformed seemingly worthless items into practical and artistic treasures. The initiative was met with overwhelming positivity. Both students and teachers praised it not only for its environmental impact but also for fostering a tangible sense of community and creativity. Above all, it’s truly rewarding to see how small and collective actions can breathe new life into the old and make a real difference. 第二节（满分25分） One possible version: So I started looking for ways to help high school kids. I contacted the school board and was offered a chance to be a guide for teenagers in trouble. At first, I was nervous, not sure if I could get on well with these young people. But as I spent time with them, listening to their struggles and dreams, I felt a sense of joy I had never experienced before. I tailored my volunteer work to their needs, helping them with their lessons and organizing small activities, and soon, I found myself looking forward to each meeting. This passion for high school kids changed me a lot. I no longer felt overwhelmed by volunteer requests, as I could politely decline without guilt. The hours I spent with those teens were not just work; they were a precious gift. They taught me to stay curious about the world and keep energetic every day. I also built lifelong bonds with many of them, sharing joys and difficulties together. Most importantly, I learned that true giving lies in following your heart, not just fulfilling your duties mechanically. 附：听力原文材料 Text 1 M: When I tidy my room, I always start with the shelves. W: Smart. The dirt from above will fall onto the floor. M: Exactly! Then I clean the table, and finish by sweeping the floor. (1) Text 2 W: David, I brought you some cookies. Oh, have you finished your revision already? M: Not yet. I’ve been studying since 9:00 a.m., so I’m taking a quick game break. I’ll get back to it soon. (2) Text 3 M: I picked a toy gun at my Zhuazhou celebration, so my parents thought I’d be a police officer! W: Ha-ha! And now you play one on camera all the time! (3) Text 4 W: Mind if I use your bathroom first? My hands are sticky from that cake. I don’t want to get my laptop all dirty! (4) M: Sure. Just down the hall. The door with the toothbrush sign. Text 5 M: I can’t fall asleep until 1:00 a.m., and I have to be up painfully early. It’s really getting me down. W: This medicine should help you drop off. (5) If you’re not better in two weeks, come back! Text 6 W: That’s too bad. The bank machine is out of ten-pound notes. It only has twenties. M: Is that a problem? W: Not really, but I wanted to pay Liam back for dinner the other night. I suppose I could get two twenties out, but what are the chances he’ll have £10 to give me as change? (6) M: Pretty small! Liam is the type who thinks credit cards are old-fashioned. He uses his phone for everything! (7) W: Hmm… That’s a good point. I could just send him the money online. Text 7 W: Daniel, (9) do you know what I miss? Going to the cinema. (8) M: Yeah, Alice. (8) (10) We don’t do it very often anymore, do we? (8) W: No. I mean, I get why — it’s so much easier to watch stuff at home. (8) But it’s not as fun. M: I know what you mean. “Going to the movies” was a real event when we were kids. (9) W: Exactly. You’d go with a crowd of friends… M: And the big screen and sound just made it amazing. W: Right! M: Well, we don’t have to watch Avatar on the iPad. We could make it an event. (9) W: Really? M: Why not? But I’m bringing my own snacks with me. I’m not made of money! W: Definitely! Let’s do it! I can’t wait. (10) Text 8 M: Hi, Daisy. You look better than the last time I saw you! (11) W: When was that? I can’t remember! M: I saw you a few weeks back, but you were heading to a workshop, so we didn’t get to chat. (11) But you didn’t look well at all! W: Oh, right! I was attending a beginner’s watercolor class. M: How was it? W: Really fun! My painting turned out surprisingly well! But you’re right, I felt terrible. In fact, I spent the rest of that weekend in bed! M: Nothing serious, I hope. W: Just a bad cold. Anyway, how are you? M: Great, thanks. I’m off to Greece next week. (12) That’s why I’m here…looking for something to read on the beach! (12) (13) W: Lucky you! I need to borrow a textbook. Hopefully, they have it. It would be so expensive to buy one! (13) M: Fingers crossed! Text 9 (第17题为推断题) W: So, tell me about your invention for the science fair. (14) M: Basically, birds drop litter into this hole, and in return, they get a small food treat. W: That’s clever! M: Thanks, Mrs. Lee! I saw a TV program about birds giving gifts when you feed them regularly. That made me wonder what else they could learn to do. (14) W: I see! M: I read about similar experiments in France and Sweden with bigger birds. But we have a different kind here — they’re everywhere, at least in this part of the U.K. (15) W: Yes, there are always lots in my garden! M: Mine too! They’re just as intelligent, and they soon picked up the idea. I received 12 pieces of litter on the first day and 37 on the second! (16) W: Amazing! M: I’m hoping the head teacher will let me run a bigger experiment at school. W: Would you like me to speak to him for you? M: Yes, please! Text 10 (第20题为总结题) Chinese historical dramas have become increasingly popular in recent years. Fans around the world love them for their beauty and rich storytelling. However, many argue that these "C-dramas" contain so many incorrect details. Instead, they sell people a dream of a China that never was. C-dramas are not educational documentaries. Screenwriters often add dramatic elements, invent characters, and change certain events to make the story more exciting or meaningful for audiences. (18) However, I’d argue that C-dramas have something valuable to offer in terms of history education. By drawing us into the lives of people from history, they create an emotional connection to the past that no textbook could ever match. Further research is necessary to get a proper historical and cultural education. But C-dramas have become a starting point that leads people down this worthy path. Inspired by their favorite TV shows, more young people are now exploring traditional Chinese history and culture than ever before, (19) and that’s a real cause for celebration. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高 三 英 语 试 题 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3．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） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

Losing the reefs would be costly, for they are estimated to draw in over $1 billion in tourism income annually, provide $650 million in flood protection, and support over 70,000 jobs while protecting people and property by reducing up to 97% of wave energy and lessening storm waves. A new study in Nature Climate Change concludes that including ocean impacts nearly doubles the estimated social cost of carbon, estimating the total price of climate-change-related damage to the world’s oceans. The lead author Bernie Bastien-Olvera notes such impacts are a key missing part in carbon cost assessments. Human fossil fuel burning warms and acidifies oceans, preventing shell formation for marine species. Since 1998, four global mass coral bleaching (白化) events have occurred, threatening the roughly one-quarter of marine life that depends on reefs. Island nations are disproportionately affected. For example, 14 Pacific island nations supply a third of global tuna catches, relying on the industry for both income and nutrition. However, warming waters are driving tuna away, with catches projected to drop 20% by 2050, and some communities already face food security issues from declining reef fish. The new study finds seafood loss poses serious public health risk by reducing omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients, accounting for roughly half the new ocean-related carbon cost. Bastien-Olvera emphasizes that more accurate estimates of the social cost of carbon can help governments, including local U.S. authorities, make stricter climate regulations, which is crucial for the future of island nations and vulnerable (脆弱的) coastlines like Florida’s. 21. What are the main costly consequences if Florida’s coral reefs are lost? A. Insufficient fishing resources. B. Limited research opportunities. C. Loss of income and coastal defense. D. Decline in tourism and biodiversity. 22. What do the two charts mainly show about the ocean? A. Recent improvements in ocean health. B. Stable conditions over the past century. C. Seasonal cycles of surface sea water PH. D. A clear warming and acidification trend. 23. What does Bastien suggest about the social cost of carbon? A. Its current estimate is high enough for policy-making. B. Its calculation is too complex to be practically useful. C. Its precise assessment is key to stronger climate action. D. Its focus should be put on land-based economic impacts. B A touching story of a wife using a rope meant to tie hair as a way to lead her husband while running for over 30 years has been circulating online and drew significant attention. “She runs for me. My wife is really good,” said Lou Dexin, a 72-year-old blind man from Jinhua, East China’s Zhejiang province. His wife Lou Shunguang is 68 years old. Lou Dexin was not born blind. In his childhood, he injured one eye in an accident and the other eye had only weak vision, but he has always maintained an optimistic and cheerful attitude towards life. At the age of 43, he had retinal (视网膜) detachment due to the overuse of his eyes and needed surgery. Before the surgery, he had to rest in bed and avoid heavy exercise. However, ten days before the surgery, two children in the village were drowning. When they cried for help, Lou Dexin, who was lying on the bed, swiftly got up to save them. After a while of artificial respiration (人工呼吸), the two children were rescued. Because of the force on his face, his retinas became weaker. Eventually, he was completely blind. Lou Dexin suffered from depression due to blindness. In order to cheer him up, Lou Shunguang would tie a rope around him and lead him on a run. Holding a rope, the two of them have been running like this for 30 years. The rope hangs on their hands and keeps the two moving at the same pace as much as possible. Finally, after falling down and getting up countless times, the two gradually can cooperate well. However, nobody knows how much effort was spent to get to this point. Lou Dexin and Lou Shunguang cannot remember how many times they have fallen and how many pairs of shoes have been worn. The rope, a symbol of their love, has brought Lou Dexin out of severe depression. After the story went viral online, many netizens were moved and called it “the most beautiful long-distance love run”. 24. What directly caused Lou Dexin’s blindness? A. The failure of the surgery. B. The overuse of his eyes. C. The injury in an accident. D. The eye pressure in rescue efforts. 25. What can we learn about Lou Shunguang? A. She enjoys running to keep fit. B. She is older than her husband. C. She treats her husband considerately. D. She suffers from weak vision. 26. Which of the following best describes the “rope” running of the couple? A. Dangerous. B. Touching. C. Effortless. D. Shocking. 27. What can we learn from the story? A. Hard work pays off. B. Love breaks down barriers. C. Well begun is half done. D. All for one, one for all. C Mushrooms have been used by ancient humans for thousands of years, but archaeologists have only just uncovered their significant role in shaping civilisation. Seventy-five years ago, in a wetland in Yorkshire, UK, archaeologists found the perfectly preserved remains of dozens of 11, 000-year-old mushrooms. Carefully cut and intentionally burned, it is thought that they were used by hunter-gatherers as tinder on their travels, enabling them to stay warm and cook food while on the move. The discovery was so unlikely because fungi (菌类) are composed mostly of water, meaning they rapidly rot and disappear, and so are almost totally absent from the fossil (化石) record. As such, the unexpected ways that mushrooms helped our ancient ancestors survive have long remained secret, seemingly lost to time. But in the past few years, new tools have finally allowed us to identify fungal DNA and micro-residues in the mouths, utensils and clothing of prehistoric humans. Until a decade ago, prehistoric diets were thought to consist only of meat and plants, excluding mushrooms. Yet rooted views about ancient daily choices are quietly shifting. In 2017, Weyrich’s team analysed the DNA in Palaeolithic dental plaque. They revealed that a group of Neanderthals in what is now Belgium supplemented their meaty meals with grey shag mushrooms, while those from a cave in northern Spain dined on split gill mushrooms. One member of the Spanish group, who lived around 48,000 years ago, even chewed on grasses with penicillin fungi, and may have deliberately sought out this antibiotic fungus to reduce dental pain. These breakthroughs are highlighting how a hidden fungal kingdom fed, healed and warmed our Stone Age ancestors, with recent discoveries even illustrating how fungi helped hold early farming communities together, paving the way for the civilisation we live in today. “By revealing the invisible evidence in the archaeological record, we now see how fungal connections helped the earliest Neolithic communities to develop an understanding of their land and their society,” says Li Liu at Stanford University in California. 28. What does the underlined word “tinder” in paragraph 2 probably refer to? A. A water-heater. B. A fire starter. C. An ancient cooker. D. An easy-to-use cutter. 29. Why was fungi’s role in civilisation unknown? A. They formed special fossils. B. They grow only in wetlands. C. They are hard to preserve long. D. They were burned out intentionally. 30. Why is one member of the Spanish group mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To illustrate the updated view. B. To make a scientific prediction. C. To confirm the previous thought. D. To introduce a new research method. 31. What may Li Liu most likely agree with? A. Mushrooms built the modern civilization. B. Fungi glued early farming groups together. C. Old methods were widely used in archaeology. D. Ancient people had a deep understanding of fungi. D Most of the time when we talk about muscle memory, we’re not talking about the muscles themselves but about the memory of a coordinated (协调的) movement pattern that lives in the motor neurons, which control our muscles. Yet in recent years, scientists have discovered that our muscles themselves have a memory for movement and exercise. The more we move, as with riding a bike, the more muscle cells begin to make a memory of that exercise. As the muscle scientist Adam Sharples explained, skeletal muscle cells are unique in the human body: They’re long and skinny, like fibers, and have multiple nuclei. The fibers grow larger not by dividing but by recruiting (招募) muscle satellite cells — stem cells specific to muscle that are inactive until activated in response to stress or injury — to contribute their own nuclei and support muscle growth and regeneration. Those nuclei often stick around for a while in the muscle fibers, even after periods of inactivity, they may help speed up the return to growth once you start training again. Sharples’s research focuses on what’s called epigenetic muscle memory. “Epigenetic” refers to changes in gene expression that are caused by behavior and environment — the genes themselves don’t change, but the way they work does. In general, exercise switches on genes that help make muscles grow more easily. When you lift weights, for example, small molecules called methyl (甲基) groups leave from the outside of certain genes, making them more likely to turn on and produce proteins that affect muscle growth. Those changes persist; if you start lifting weights again, you’ll add muscle mass more quickly than before. In other words: Your muscles remember how to do it. Subsequent studies from Sharples and others have reproduced similar findings in mice and older humans, offering further supporting evidence of epigenetic muscle memory across species and into later life. Even aging muscles have the capacity to remember when you work out. The takeaway? Your muscles have their own kind of intelligence. The more you use them, the more they can use it to become a lasting beneficial resource for your body in the future. 32. What is the common idea about muscle memory? A. It is stored in the nervous system. B. It relies on muscular coordination. C. It has different types and patterns. D. It benefits a lot from exercise. 33. Why are skeletal muscle cells unique? A. They can divide into small cells. B. They control all body movements. C. They can store long-term memories. D. They have a special way of growing. 34. What can we learn about “epigenetic muscle memory”? A. It is caused by gene expression inside DNA. B. It stops functioning right after exercise ends. C. It makes muscle regain growth more efficiently. D. It depends on methyl groups to produce protein. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. What Happens to Muscles? B. How do Muscles Remember? C. Muscle Cells: An All-Rounder D. Muscle Memory: An Open Secret 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 You may be planning a trip to travel abroad.    36    The cities are colorful and filled with history, with many cities showcasing centuries-old buildings and architecture that make them unique and beautiful. With all these features, it’s normal that many people want to travel abroad, making most tourist attraction sites crowded.    37    You might think visiting Venice or Paris would be impossible without crowds.    38    Both cities have plenty of accommodations and restaurants that are just as good as those in more tourist-filled areas. Going off the beaten paths, you’ll discover hidden gems and lesser-known attractions that will make your trip more enjoyable.    39    If you must visit popular sites, try to arrive early in the morning or late in the afternoon when fewer people are there. As for accommodations, you may consider booking a private AirBnB as opposed to popular hotels that might be swarming with tourists. Go to lesser-known attraction sites. Many tourists flock to their favorite spots or get the most out of their time abroad. But if you want to avoid tourist crowds, never visit where tourists go.    40    While there’s no substitute for seeing some of Europe’s most famous landmarks, like The Louvre or The Eiffel Tower, there are plenty of other amazing sites that you may not have considered visiting. For instance, some castles and gardens aren’t as well-known. A. Why do people pay the price? B. The weather is generally mild and pleasant. C. Stay away from tourist sites if they’re too busy or crowded. D. Not all neighborhoods are as busy as many people think, though. E. But do you know you can avoid tourist crowds and enjoy your trip? F. It’s no secret that Venice and its residents are struggling with tourism. G. Instead, go where they don’t go and experience something new and exciting. 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。 During 15 years of working on community food projects, Catherine noticed something.

As a single mom for most of my adult life, I couldn’t help by giving money; instead, I volunteered for every good cause that came my way. When my son started school, I became a room mother, a classroom volunteer, a Cub Scout leader, and a teacher at Sunday school. I enjoyed some of these activities, but not all. Then my two daughters were born, and my volunteer work tripled. As a lawyer, I got many requests to join boards and take part in charitable activities. Different committees kept asking for my help. How could I say no to a good cause? I ended up doing too much and feeling upset because my volunteer work took time away from me and my kids. But I still kept agreeing to everyone who asked, since so many people needed help. One day at lunch, I told a good friend about my dilemma. “You need to learn to say NO,” she said. “It’s not about which cause is more important — they’re all important. It’s about finding your passion. Find the one thing that means the most to you personally, then volunteer in that area. You’ll find you enjoy it far more and resent (憎恨) it less, making you a much better volunteer.” Her words made sense, but I didn’t know what my passion was. I loved my kids, so I only volunteered for their activities, using them as an excuse to turn down others. This worked well until my youngest child went to college. All the people I’d turned down before came back to ask for help. Even with more free time, I felt stressed again. I took a class to find my passion and thought a lot about it. Then I realized: I loved all ages of my kids, but I especially loved their high school years. They were old enough to take care of themselves but young enough to accept new ideas. 注意： 1．续写词数应为 150 个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 So I started looking for ways to help high school kids. This passion for high school kids changed me a lot. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
