That's a big reason why there's such a buzz today around a newcomer to supermarket shelves:plant-based meats.These products look and taste like real meat but contain no animal ingredients,promising to match the flavor and texture of real ground meat while reducing environmental impact. Greenhouse gas footprints of food proteins 90 4 5025 20 ● ep Terrestrial animal products meat Plant foods But are they truly "green"?Plant-based meats are highly processed.Proteins.Waic. thickeners and flavorings are combined to make foods that resemble burgers,hot dogs and ather meat products.However,every step of production consumes energy,which raises the question: With all the processing,are these meat alternatives really greener than what they seek to replace? To answer this,environmental scientists use life cycle analysis,a method that involves taking each ingredient in the final product and tracing it back to its origin,recording all the environmental costs involved.They found the average greenhouse gas tootprint from plant-based meats was just 7%of beef for the same amount of protein.The plant-based products were also more climate-friendly than pork or chicken-although less strikingly so,with greenhouse gas emissions just 57%and 37%of those for the actual meats respectively. 高三英语试题第1贞（共8页） 21.Which food protein has the lowest greenhouse gas footprint per 100 g? A.Beef. B.Pork. C.Plant-based meat. D.Tofu. 22.Why might plant-based meats not be fully"green"? A.They contain animal fats. B.They are energy-consuming. C They are difficult to produce. D.They have too many ingredients. 23.Why do scientists use life cycle analysis for plant-based meats? A To measure taste. B.To test protein content. C.To track environmental costs. D.To calculate production costs. B In my grandparents'era,the question of whether to repair or replace an item was irrelevant. Repair was usually the only option.So when faced with a broken hoe (one summer,I let my brain do a little time-traveling and decided to make the repair,just like grandpa would have done. I dug through my old toolbox for the needed parts,sorting through a mix of nails,screws, and bolts.I have a strong love for the past and cherish the bonds connecting present and past generations.Finally,I chose my favorite hammer passed down from my dad,who received it from his dad.Grandpa's hammer has a worn,ash handle,the grain smooth from 70 years of use and spotted with colorful paint.Grandpa used his hammer to make things-a kitchen table,a rocking chair and a doll house.Grandpa said it took two things to make dreams come true- faith and a hammer. My grandpa was quiet and reserved,but never humourless.Small,silly things would amuse him.He had his favorite expressions.He liked saying "It's immaterial to me"even when "I don't mind"would have been enough.Deep down,I think he was probably disappointed that he hadn't achieved more in life.He left school without qualiticauons and became a carpenter-a job he wasn't passionate about.He was never particularly ambitious,though there was a moment when he and my grandma planned to move to Canada,an idea that never came to fruition.Where he came into his.own was around the house.He had an"eye for the job".Whether it was building a bookshelf or fixing a cupboard-what he could achieve was astonishing. Repairing the hoe meant digging through Grandpa's dusty hardware.With just the right bolt in hand,I was ready to begin.As I finished the hoe repair and replaced the hammer,I said a hearty thanks to grandpa.I'm determined to pass it to the next generation-mentoring with purpose and weaving together the connecting cords. 24.Why did the author choose to repair the hoe? A.Repair was usually the only option. B.He wanted to carry on the family tradition. C.He wanted to test if the hammer still worked. D.The toolbox had the parts needed for the repair. 25.What is the writer's attitude to his grandpa in paragraph 3? A.He sympathized with his grandpa's behavior. B.He regretted his grandpa had not achieved more. C He was annoyed by his grandpa's choice of words. D.He was grateful his grandpa never moved to Canada. 26.What does the underlined phrase "came into his own"in paragraph 3 mean? A.He was able to show his real talents. B.He was able to do things on his own. C He was able to forget his past failures. D.He was able to continue his regular job. 高三英语试题第2页（共8页） 27.What is the main purpose of this passage? A.To argue the value of old objects. B.To show how to repair old tools. C.To reflect on personal experiences. D.To share imagined family histories. C To really succeed in life,have you ever considered getting a nemesis(假想敌)？I totally recommend it.Willpower fades.Apps rarely change behavior.You need the kind of fuel that's bomn from pure jealousy or from the fire of anger.It's a feeling that boils down to:That guy? Such emotion can provide lasting motivation. You do not need to express anger openly or confront anyone directly.Honestly,it's probably better if you don't tell anyone at all.Many successful people use this emotion as a source of motivation and have made remarkable achievements.Michae!Jordan provides a famous example.Here's a list of things he was offended by:A rival coach not saying hi to him while out to dinner;A rival saying,"You are,lucky,Mike."These minor slights fueled his determination and pushed him to do better on the basketball court.Creating an enemy and looking for signs of disrespect from opponents help him achieve great things. Research supports this.A study from the Wharton School shows that underdogs often perform better because they want to prove others wrong.It feels satisfying to prove wrong the people who doubt you.In this sense,such feelings can become powerful forces behind achievement. A.nemesis does not need to be a famous people or a direct competitor.It can be anyone whose achievements vou secretly envy,whose hard work or talents push you to do better,or whose actions challenge you to step up your own game.The key is to turn this emotion into action:you transform feelings of envy into productive energy and push yourself toward greater accomplishments.Even partners,friends or colleagues can sometimes temporarily serve as motivators in certain situations. Ultimately,the power of a nemesis lies in using emotion strategically.People often fear they can't succeed-so they hesitate to try...until they get mad enough.This emotion- whether real or imagined-can carry you further and help individuals achieve more than they thought possible,especially when training and talent reach their limits. 28.What's the main idea of paragraph 1? A.A nemesis can be a powerful motivator. B.Willpower alone can guarantee success C.Apps are ineffective for achieving success. D.Everyone should create a nemesis to succeed. 29.Why is Michael Jordan mentioned in paragraph 2? A.To show he often has conflicts with others. B.To prove talent is more important than emotion. C.To illustrate how minor offenses drive performance. D.To explain why athletes often need strong opponents. 30.Who can be considered as a nemesis? A Only well-known figures or direct rivals. B.Anyone whose achievements motivate you. C.People who openly challenge you every day. D.Someone who frequently causes arguments. 高三英语试题第3页（共8页） 31.How does the author view the power of nemesis? A It can replace talent and hard work. B It is an unreliable source of motivation C.It is an imaginary concept with little effect. D.It can be a strategic tool for personal growth. D In January 2024,near Dominica,I encountered a sperm whale named Pinchy.As she sank into the deep,I realized that despite our shared mammalian need for air,we lived in entirely separate worlds.As a scientist studying whale communication,I wondered what whales might tell me if I could understand what she was saying? My research has learned that sperm whales have a remarkably sophisticated communication system-one that may even resemble s form of language.This discovery has been made possible thanks to the use of technology itself.especially artificial intelligence. This might seem contradictory.In our technology-driven civilization,doesn't technology often make us more distant from the natural world?Yet what I've come to know is that technology and nature do not exist in a zero-sum relationship,where the rise of one side is the downfall of the other.Instead,these tools can give humans an opportunity to feel more connected to nature. This view took years to fully form.In recent work,when AI technologies began to predict words and form sentences on their own,my colleagues and I work with computer scientists to test if these models could analyze sperm whale codas().In a pilot study,AI successfully identified different coda types,whale family groups and even individual whales with over 90% accuracy.This gave rise to Project CETI,an initiative where 50 biologists,AI experts and linguists work together to decode whale communication Our latest study shows that sperm whales produce sounds similar to human vowels.Later this year,we will release an AI system that can translate human audio into whale-like sounds -allowing humans,for the first time,to potentially experience what it might be like to interact with a whale in its own language. The potential is profound.Truly understanding whale "language"would not only rewrite biology textbooks,but also fundamentally challenge our human-centered worldview.Just as Copernicus showed that Earth was not the center of the universe,we hope our work could mark a similar shift-a recognition that we are not the only beings with rich interal and communal lives.To me,this is the real potential promise of Al:not to make us faster or more efficient,but to make us wiser. 32.What can be inferred from the author's discussion of technology and nature? A.As technology rises,nature falls. B Technology separates humans from nature. C.Technology and nature are mutually beneficial. D.Technology leads to the destruction of nature. 33.What is the primary goal of Profect CETt? A.To classify different whale species. B.To use AI to understand whale communication. C To study the behavior of whales in the wild. D.To train whale to communicate with humans. 高三英语试题第4页（共8页） 34.Why does the author mention Copernicus in paragraph 6? A.To highlight a cognitive shift through comparison. B.To criticize traditional views of human centrality C.To show the project is as complex as astronomy. D.To stress the importance of scientific discoveries. 35.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.AI:A Double-edged Sword in Modern Science B Whale Communication:The Discovery of"Vowels" C.Sperm Whales:The Intelligent Creatures in the Ocean D.Talking to Whales:AI Bridges the Gap Between Species 第二节供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。有两项为多余选项。 Holding a solo concert is a milestone for any musician. For Clara Reed,there is an additional challenge:She has been deaf since she was 12 years old. For the past three years,Clara,now 15,has been overcoming her disability to achieve this goal."I got tired of relying on others.Why not try to feel the musi myself?"she explains 3 Then she got bored again and tried vibrating (floor mats to feel the rhythm and strength of each note. Then came months of patient practice,alone in a quet room She understood it by feeling the vibrations of the keys and using her hand memory.She also used special software that turns sound into visual siguals,helping her match the speed and volume of the music. Now,after practicing hundreds of pieces from memory independently,Clara has gradually reduced her reliance on others."At first,I had to concentrate hard to 'hear'the music through my hands and eyes.Now,it feels almost natural,"she explains. _"I made quite many mustakes in the beginning-like hitting the wrong keys-but I quickly adjust,"she laughs. 4 The freedom and confidence she has built through independent practice are vast, not only elevating her skills as well as providing inspiration to others."I can't hide the fact that I'm deaf"she says,"but I can play like everyone else and not be treated differently." A.That's not to say the learning procesa is easy. B Repeating is important for playing hard pieces. C As a result,she learned the entire Chopin piece D.She began by practicing simple melodies in silence. E.It gives her an opportunity to share the stage with everyone.

Yet history shows that curiosity-driven research often leads to45 breakthroughs. When the Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell 46 experiments with electricity and magnetism in the late 19th century,he had no specific end in 47 and was certainly not 48 to earn money;he was simply trying to understand more about how the world works. Despite this,his work laid the 49 for our modern way of life.Computers,satellites,the Internet,mobile phones and medical scanners all owe their existence to the fact that a scientist 50 the need to understand the world a little better. Maxwell's candle-lit laboratory was quiet once more,but the ideas he sparked continue to 51 our world.Now more students 52 to ask questions without obvious answers.Such curiosity 53 seeds that may take years,decades or even centuries to bear fruits.Every experiment,every observation,every failure brings us closer to understanding.The value of science lies not only in what it produces but in the54 it shapes. And that,ultimately,is the 55 of science. 41.A.set up B.figure out C.carry out D.make up 42.A.therefore B.moreover C.however D.likewise 43.A.cause B.outcome C.point D.basis 44.A.stable B.profitable C.available D.valuable 45.A.unexpected B.huge C.little D.limited 46.A.conducted B.invented C.learned D.designed 47.A.need B.mind C.hand D.sight 48.A.instructed B.trained C.practicing D.aiming 49.A.conclusion B.foundation C.source D.theory 50.A.met B.avoided C.chose D.felt 51.A.darken B.rule C.light D.decorate 52.A.hesitate B.pretend C.dare D.refuse 53.A.plants B.removes C.destroys D.collects 54.A.mindset B.competition C.cooperation D.history 55.A.challenge B.example C.proof D.significance 高三英语试题第6页（共8页） 第二节共10小题；每小题1.5分，总分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入】个适当的单词，或括号内单词的正确形式。 Noe Bryant spent 41 years identifying as African American.This year,she became Chinese.

Thank you for listening! 高三英语试题第7页（共8页） 第二节（满分25分） The first morning I arrived at Willowbrook Nursing Home,I could hardly control the knot of nervous excitement forming in my stomach.It was my first time volunteering with the youth group to help the seniors.I was thrilled and eager to do something meaningful for the community,but I was also extremely nervous.What would these people be like?What would I talk to them about?I knew I was doing a good deed and that I could learn a lot from this hands-on work,yet deep down,the shy girl in me kept whispering that I might not fit in or know how to communicate with them. As a volunteer,my task was simple:assist the staff and spend time with the residents.Yet as I walked through the sliding glass doors,I felt as if I were stepping into a world entirely different from my own. Mrs.Thompson,the head nurse,greeted me warmly."You'll start in the common room," she said."Some of the residents love company,and a listening ear makes all the difference.Keep an eye on Mr.Harris.He's been quiet and down these ddys.'I nodded,taking a deep breath. The common-toom was bright,with sunlight spilling over the tables.Elderly men and women sat quietly,some in wheelchairs and others in armchairs,eyes glancing toward the door with curiosity.In the corner,alone,sat an elderly man,staring at the floor,his eyes clouded with sorrow.I guessed he must be Mr.Harris. Taking a deep breath,I put on my warmest and most sincere smile.But several minutes later,the air grew tense.The lines I had prepared earlier completely escaped my mind.I stood there,frozen with embarrassment.I had no idea what to do or what to say next. Then came the moment I would never forget.An old man with white hair and gentle gray-blue eyes looked at me and gestured for me to come closer. "How much do I owe you for your smile?"he asked softly I laughed and replied without hesitation,"Nothing at all." "Well,in that case,may I have another?" I smiled at him again,and a strong sense of connection surged through me. 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右： 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Soon,our conversation began.
