B In our exploration of literature this month, My Name is Miene stands out as an appealing comic essay that has captured the hearts of many on social media. The fictional character, Miene, is a blind kitten who finds herself in a risky situation after getting separated from her mother and hurting her paw, all while being chased by a crow. Ultimately, she is rescued and finds a home with a caring family. The narrative follows Miene’s comedic yet poignant journey as she navigates the frightening world around her, struggling against her fears and pain. Her perception of life, relying on her other senses instead of sight, offers a heartwarming perspective that encourages readers to cheer for her. One striking feature of this work is its substantial amount of text. The book is loaded with a remarkable amount of written content, surprising for a comic essay, filled with hand-drawn letters that create an extraordinary rhythm between the illustrations. The combination of text and visuals is so impressive that readers often laugh out loud when recalling its funny moments, even after closing the book. Furthermore, the book includes notable literary references, providing insights into classic works and figures. The rich narrative not only entertains but also evokes a profound appreciation for life and existence. A particularly touching scene is when the lady of the house, Rina, decides to adopt Miene, extending her hand and saying, “I will give you my twenty years”, which showcases the deep commitment one needs to take on such responsibility. Despite Rina’s heartfelt intentions, Miene dashes around energetically, representing the spirit of adventure and resilience. This portrayal resonates with anyone who has faced trials but still embraces life bravely, making the reading experience both enjoyable and meaningful. There are numerous interesting works that can make one lose track of time, and such a unique narrative is surely not to be missed. 24. What can be inferred about Miene from paragraph 1? A.

C In an era when screens dominate our daily lives, digital eye strain has emerged as a significant public health issue affecting millions worldwide. Digital eye strain, which is characterized by a range of symptoms such as dryness, watering, burning, and even double vision, extends beyond mere discomfort to signal the potential presence of long-term conditions that can significantly affect an individual’s quality of life and productivity. When we are focusing on digital displays, our blink (眨眼) rate falls, and our eyes strain to maintain focus on near objects for extended periods. Reduced blinking and sustained near focus can give rise to eye issues. These symptoms are often short-lived, but if left untreated, they can become ongoing and very difficult to deal with. The 20-20-20 rule is a simple but effective strategy for protecting our eyes against digital strain. Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break to focus on something 20 feet away. This brief break allows our eye muscles to relax, reducing the strain associated with constant near-focus work. Environmental factors also play a fundamental role in maintaining eye comfort during screen use. Proper lighting, adequate humidity, and good air quality can significantly affect eye health. Emerging therapies, which are being developed to tackle the growing problem of screen caused eye damage, offer new hope for the more effective management of digital eye strain. Among these, novel TRPM8 agonists (激动剂) — acting like precise keys — show great potential in relieving dry-eye discomfort. In this digital age, it’s important to take measures to protect our vision. By recognizing the signs of digital eye strain, implementing protective strategies, and seeking timely professional care, we can reduce the risks associated with our screen-dependent lifestyles. 28. Which factor is related to digital eye strain? A. Blinking for a long time. B. Looking at many objects. C. The change of near focus. D. A decrease in blinking. 29. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Eye symptom types. B. Relative treatment methods. C. Eye protection strategies. D. Professional exam processes. 30. What can we know about the TRPM8 agonists from the text? A. Their effect remains uncertain. B. Their future is promising. C. They are precise keys. D. They require further research. 31. What does the underlined word “implementing” mean in paragraph 5? A. evaluating B. carrying out C. producing D. drawing up D A wheeled robot rolls across the floor. A soft-bodied robotic star bends its five legs, moving awkwardly. Powered by conventional electricity via plug or battery, these simple robotic creations would be unremarkable, but what sets these two robots apart is that they are controlled by a living entity (实体): a king oyster mushroom. By growing the mushroom’s mycelium (菌丝体) into the robot’s hardware, a team led by Cornell University researchers has engineered two types of robots that sense and respond to the environment by using electrical signals made by the mushroom and its sensitivity to light. The robots are the latest accomplishment of scientists in a field known as biohybrid robotics who seek to combine biological, living materials such as plant and animal cells or insects with artificial components to make partly living and partly engineered entities. There’s still a long way to go before biohybrid robots go beyond the lab, but researchers hope one day robot jellyfish may explore oceans, sperm-powered robots may be able to deliver fertility (肥沃) treatments and cyborg cockroaches could search for survivors in the wake of an earthquake. “Biohybridization is an attempt to find components in the biological world that we can use, understand, and control to help our artificial systems work better,” said Shepherd, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Cornell University. The team began by growing king oyster mushrooms in the lab from a simple kit ordered online. The researchers chose this species of mushroom because it grows easily and quickly. They cultivated(培育) the mushroom’s mycelium, which can form networks that, according to the study, can sense, communicate and transport nutrients. The team found it challenging to engineer a system that could detect and use the small electrical signals from the mycelia to command the robot. “You have to make sure that your electrode (电极) touches in the right position because the mycelia are very thin,” said lead author Anand Mishra. “Then you culture them, and when the mycelia start growing, they wrap around the electrode.” 32. What is special about the two robots in the first paragraph? A. They can control living creatures. B. They can make various movements. C. They are powered by king oyster mushrooms. D. They are partly mushroom and partly machine. 33. What does the author want to show by giving the examples in paragraph 4? A. The future possibilities of biohybrid robots. B. The seriousness of the environmental issues. C. The limitations of biohybrid robots beyond the lab. D. The advantages of biohybrid robots over conventional ones. 34. What did the team find difficult when engineering the robots? A. Wrapping the electrode with the mycelia. B. Arranging the electrode in the right order. C. Developing a system to cultivate the mycelia. D. Positioning the electrode accurately on the mycelia. 35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. When Nature Meets Technology B. How Technology Transforms Nature C. King Oyster Mushrooms: the Magic of Nature D. Biohybrid Robotics: the Key to Social Development 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5） 根据短文内容，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。 The Secret to Taking Great Notes Taking good notes is a key part of the learning process. However, merely writing down what you hear word-for-word is ineffective. Here are some proven strategies to transform your note-taking. One of the most popular and structured systems is the Cornell Method, developed for and widely taught at Cornell University. 36 This physical layout guides your thinking process. During class, take notes in the main section. After class, use the cue (提示) column to write keywords or questions. Finally, write a brief summary of the entire lesson at the bottom of the page. This multi-step process is scientifically proven to significantly improve long-term memory retention. For those who think in images and connections, Mind Mapping is a visual way to organize information. Start with the main topic in the center and draw branches out for key subtopics. 37 You can use colors, symbols, and arrows to make connections. This method is especially beneficial for visual learners as it shows the relationships between concepts, making complex topics easier to grasp. Regardless of the method you choose, the core principle is active engagement. Don’t just passively record information. 38 Engage with the material by paraphrasing the speaker’s points. This forces you to process and understand the information on the spot. Of course, the best method is the one that works for you. 39 You might use the Cornell Method for history lectures, which are dense with facts, but a Mind Map for brainstorming an essay topic. You might even combine different elements from various methods to create your own personalized system. 40 Review your notes periodically within 24 hours of taking them. This short, spaced repetition is one of the most powerful ways to move information from your short-term to your long-term memory, solidifying your learning and making exam preparation much less stressful. A. Then, add smaller branches for specific details. B. Ultimately, it’s crucial to review your notes afterward. C. Experiment with different techniques to find your favorite. D. This means you can write the content in your own words. E. Instead, focus on summarizing the main idea in simple elegant words. F. It divides your paper into a cue column, a notes section, and a summary area. G. This system advises us to take notes first and then review them regularly days later. 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I never truly understood China’s global influence until that summer in Nairobi.

On my last day, the children presented me with a thank-you card 54 with Chinese characters. Holding that card, I felt a profound (深刻的) sense of 55 in my country and its role in the world. 41.

Her days were consumed by monitoring my apps, my calls, and even the weather before I stepped outside. The world, in her eyes, was full of unpredictable dangers. This anxiety was partly due to an accident in my childhood that, I believed, still haunted her. When I was seven, she accompanied me to ride the bike in the park. Accidentally, I lost balance and injured my knee badly. The sight of my blood sent her into a panic; she didn’t sleep for nights. From that day on, I had no chance to ride the bike any more. Even now at 17, bike, to me, was just a word in the dictionary and a faint scar on my knee. However, my dad held a different opinion. He always said falls and small troubles were unavoidable gifts of growth, believing proper risks and independent experiences were necessary for me to become tougher and more responsible. He often persuaded my mom to loosen her control, but she could never put her worries aside. So, when today our school announced a three-day camping trip, my classmates erupted in excitement while I froze. I understood their joy — three days, no parents, just campfires and stargazing. But inside, my mind was racing. How was I supposed to ask? The word “no” sat on my tongue like a stone. Back home, I went to my dad with the permission slip, a formal note that required parent’s signature, without which I was not allowed to join the camp. I hoped he’d sign it secretly to save me from mom’s concern. But he shook his head softly, telling me this was my chance to show my mom I was ready to help her untie the tight worry in her heart. He said he trusted me and suggested I make a clear safety plan to ease her worry, adding “If you make it, I have a surprise for you.” I stood there, listening to mom’s familiar humming in the kitchen — cooking was the only thing that could move her focus away from me. My heart pounded. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Holding the wrinkled permission slip tight, I pushed open the kitchen door. Back from the camp, I spotted no mom at the pick-up site, but a bike with my name card attached to it. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 大连育明高级中学2025—2026学年下学期高三第五次 教学质量调研 英语试卷答案 满分150分 时间120分钟 第Ⅰ卷 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 1～5 ABBCC 6～10 BAABC 11～15 BACBC 16～20 BCABA 第二部分：阅读（共两节，满分50分） 21-23 BCA 24-27 AADC 28-31 DCBB 32-35 DADA 36-40 FAECB 第三部分：语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节：（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 41-45：CADBD 46-50：CBABD 51-55：BCDAC 第Ⅱ卷 第二节：（共10小题：每小题1.5分，满分15分） 56. by 57. creative 58.

(105 words) The editorial department 第二节：（满分25分） Holding the wrinkled permission slip tight, I pushed open the kitchen door. Mom’s humming stopped immediately when she noticed the slip. She scanned it, her brows knitting together as if she could have imagined another fall during my camping. I guaranteed her that I had mapped out a detailed safety plan and that I was old enough to take care of myself. Finally, she started signing instead of sighing. A victory for me and my dad! Later, my mom’s concern turned out to be groundless, thanks to the effective safety plan and my frequent reassuring calls from the campsite. Back from the camp, I spotted no mom at the pick-up site, but a bike with my name card attached to it. What a surprise! Mounting the bike, I raced hard, passing my friends and the usual school bus route, as if to catch up with that seven-year-old boy in my memory. I am coming home! There stood mom and dad, their smiles so healing. This time, mom gave me a steady nod. At that moment, I realized the bike was more than a gift; it was a key she had finally returned to me, unlocking not just the road ahead, but the boundless trust that I could find my own way. 听力材料 Text 1 Mary缺席慈善音乐会 W: Didn’t Mandy come to your charity concert?

By the end of the day, they begin developing characters and learning about the play. This continues through mid-week, along with focus on specialty skills that may be needed in the production. On these days, they’ll receive some training on acting. By Thursday, the actors are running the show off-book and memorizing their material. By Friday, the whole group is performing on stage, in a recorded performance. A digital copy of the performance will be shared with actors after the program is complete. This is a very exciting challenge for any actor! It’ll begin on July 26th and end on 30th. Practicing time is from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm every day. Only ten will be admitted. If you’re interested, contact us early. Due to safety restrictions, space is extremely limited in each age group. Registering early is recommended. Register by June 5th for $10 off. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
