If you are an environmentally conscious meat-eater, a touch of guilt at the dinner table is common. Meat production imposes significant environmental costs, including deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions, and air and water pollution — all pressing issues as the world struggles with climate change. This has fueled growing interest in plant-based meats, such as Impossible Burger and Beyond Meat, which imitate real meat’s taste and texture (质地) without animal ingredients and are specifically marketed to traditional meat-eaters as a lower-impact alternative. Research highlights meat’s heavy environmental cost. Farm animals contributes about 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions, with cattle alone ranking second globally in emissions if considered a country. The UN projects global meat demand will swell by 15% by 2031, worsening deforestation and emissions. Grazing animals like cattle are far more harmful than pigs and chickens: per pound of meat, beef’s greenhouse gas emissions are over six times those of pork and nearly nine times those of chicken, due to methane (甲烷) released when cattle digest grass. Plant-based meats aim to address this crisis. Studies conducted by Impossible and Beyond show their burgers drastically cut environmental harm. Despite requiring deep processing, life cycle analyses confirm their environmental advantages — they use just 2-24% of the land and water needed for meat to provide equal protein. Hurdles remain: they cost 43% more than meat, struggle to imitate whole-muscle foods like steak, and rely on industrial agriculture. Yet for meat-lovers unwilling to switch to tofu or beans, plant-based meats offer a vital stopgap to reduce climate harm while satisfying their appetites. 1. What is special about plant-based meats like Impossible Burger and Beyond Meat? A. They both contain a large quantity of animal ingredients in their production. B. They are primarily marketed to people who follow a vegetarian diet. C. They reproduce the flavor of real meat while free of animal ingredients. D. They tend to be more expensive compared with traditional meat. 2. What do we know about Beyond’s burger from the passage? A. It emits 11% of a beef burger’s greenhouse gas. B. It uses only 1% of the water needed for beef production. C. It costs 43% less than traditional meat. D. It can perfectly mimic whole-muscle foods like steak. 3. Where is this passage most likely taken from? A. A science magazine B. A cookery book C. A travel guide D. A health journal 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了肉类生产环境代价高昂，植物肉可大幅降低其环境影响，虽有成本、口感等局限，仍是减碳的重要替代选择。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“This has fueled growing interest in plant-based meats, such as Impossible Burger and Beyond Meat, which imitate real meat’s taste and texture (质地) without animal ingredients and are specifically marketed to traditional meat-eaters as a lower-impact alternative.( 这促使人们对植物性肉类产生了越来越多的兴趣，比如“不可能汉堡”和“超越肉类”，它们在不使用动物成分的情况下模仿了真肉的味道和质地，并且专门针对传统肉食者进行营销，作为一种对环境影响较小的替代品。)”可知，像“不可能汉堡”和“超越肉”这类植物性肉类的特别之处是它们复刻了真肉的风味，且不含动物成分。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据图表内容信息可知，图表定位：图例显示黑色代表 Beyond 品牌，在 “Water use”（用水量）一项中，Beyond 的数值为 1%，即仅为牛肉汉堡用水量的 1%。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章围绕植物肉的环境可持续性展开，引用了联合国数据、企业研究报告和生命周期分析结果，还配有专业的环境足迹对比图表，属于典型的科普类文章，最可能刊登在科学杂志上。 B During my years at Stanford, I was the only deaf undergraduate on campus, and American Sign Language (ASL) empowered me to participate in my classes and extracurricular activities, including my lifelong favorite: riding with the Stanford equestrian (马术的) team. When I started college. I felt unsure of how I’d navigate such a hearing-centric world. I stopped by the Stanford Red Barn during New Student Orientation, wondering how to try out for the team, which is how I discovered that the head coach, Vanessa Bartsch, ‘99, had taken ASL during her own student years. She didn’t feel surprised at all when she met a future rider who was deaf. If anything, she seemed thrilled at the prospect of practicing her ASL again. Once I made the team, life in the barn is indeed what I did, whenever I wasn’t reading in Green Library. I started teaching Bartsch and my teammates some horsey vocabulary in ASL, including the self-made signs for “trot” and “canter” that I’d devised with my mother through her years of interpreting for my riding lessons. At Stanford, I brought ASL interpreters out to the riding arena, all of them arranged through the university’s Office of Accessible Education. Hitting the gym weekly with my teammates taught me the importance of cross-training, while routine chores at the barn brought home how our equine partners were far more than pieces of sporting equipment. I was constantly biking out to the Red Barn between classes, rushing into my discussion sections dirty and smelly. Being an equestrian athlete is unlike participating in other college sports, not least because of the bonds that can stir from this mutual love for smelling like horses. My Stanford teammates and I did not always understand each other perfectly — but my time on the team showed me that human language isn’t always essential for experiencing a deep connection with another living being. Today, I am an author. Good writing often feels like riding a strong horse. You sense the rhythm of every step as sentences connect one after another, and words move forward with creative energy. Sometimes, shaping these flowing sentences reminds me of the Red Barn. The regular sound of horse footsteps there influenced my inner thoughts just as much as any literature class did. 4. What impressed the author when she went to the Stanford Red Barn? A. She was the only deaf student on the whole campus. B. The head coach had learned American Sign Language before. C. She was immediately accepted as a member of the equestrian team. D. Many students on the team were willing to learn sign language. 5. What did the author do after joining the equestrian team? A. She gave up reading in the library to spend more time riding. B. She created new ASL signs for horse-related words with her mother. C. She taught her coach and teammates some horse-related signs in ASL. D. She helped the university set up the Office of Accessible Education. 6. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph? A. She spent most of her college time in the Red Barn rather than in the library. B. The author’s teammates looked down on her because she was deaf and smelly. C. Equestrian sports helped the author build close bonds with her teammates. D. The author thought human language is unnecessary for mutual understanding. 7. Why does the author compare good writing to riding a powerful horse? A. Because the memory of riding inspires her to keep practicing writing skills. B. Because riding helped her feel the rhythm and energy that are also needed in writing. C. Because both writing and riding need great physical strength and much patience. D. Because she believes writing is as simple as riding a well-trained horse. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了作者身为斯坦福失聪在校生，借助手语加入马术队，与教练队友友好相处并建立真挚情谊。这段马术经历独特动人，也为其后续文字创作赋予节奏与灵感。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“I stopped by the Stanford Red Barn during New Student Orientation, wondering how to try out for the team, which is how I discovered that the head coach, Vanessa Bartsch, ‘99, had taken ASL during her own student years.( 在新生迎新期间，我在斯坦福红谷仓（Stanford Red Barn）停了下来，想知道如何加入这支球队，也就是在这个过程中，我发现球队的主教练，99届的瓦妮莎·巴茨（Vanessa Bartsch）在学生时代就学过美国手语。)”可知，作者去斯坦福红谷仓时，意外发现主教练以前学过美国手语，这是给她留下深刻印象的事。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Once I made the team, life in the barn is indeed what I did, whenever I wasn’t reading in Green Library. I started teaching Bartsch and my teammates some horsey vocabulary in ASL, including the self-made signs for “trot” and “canter” that I’d devised with my mother through her years of interpreting for my riding lessons.( 一旦我加入了团队，谷仓里的生活就是我所做的，只要我不在格林图书馆读书。我开始用手语教巴茨和我的队友一些关于马的词汇，包括我自己和母亲一起发明的“快步”和“慢步”的手语符号，那是母亲在我骑马课程的讲解过程中创造的。)”可知，加入校队后，作者开始教教练和队友一些和马术相关的手语。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Being an equestrian athlete is unlike participating in other college sports, not least because of the bonds that can stir from this mutual love for smelling like horses. My Stanford teammates and I did not always understand each other perfectly — but my time on the team showed me that human language isn’t always essential for experiencing a deep connection with another living being.( 作为一名马术运动员，与其他人参加其他大学体育项目的感觉截然不同，尤其是因为这种对马的气味的共同热爱所形成的纽带。我和斯坦福大学的队友们并非总是能完全理解彼此——但我在队里的这段时间让我明白，与另一只生物建立深厚联系并不总是需要人类语言的。)”可推知，马术运动帮助她和队友建立了紧密的情感联系。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Today, I am an author. Good writing often feels like riding a strong horse. You sense the rhythm of every step as sentences connect one after another, and words move forward with creative energy.( 如今，我成为了一名创作者。优质的写作体验，常常如同驾驭一匹骏马。你能感受到每一个句子之间的衔接节奏，句子一个接一个地连接起来，词语也充满着创造性的活力向前推进。)”可知，作者把好的写作比作骑骏马，是因为写作中句子的节奏、向前的创作能量，和骑马时感受到的步伐节奏与力量相似。 C Do you usually spot the touchscreen first when checking out a new car? For years, almost every new car sold has a high-tech screen that controls everything. Even safety features like automatic lane-keeping are sometimes screen-controlled. But is it really safe? If scrolling down the screen of a smartphone while driving is distracting and then doing likewise with your car’s is probably risky too. Drivers know the location of physical controls and press buttons without taking their eyes off the road. A touchscreen offers no physical feedback, making the operation much harder. And because screens have to do so many things, it often takes a few steps through several sub-menus to find the right setting. In 2022, Vi Bilägare, a Swedish motoring magazine, measured how long it took drivers to do things like changing the temperature while driving at 110 kilometers per hour. It compared 11 cars with touchscreens to a single older model with real buttons. In the old cars, drivers were able to do all their tasks within about 10 seconds, while the worst-performing modern car took 45 seconds. Even in the best-performing modern cars, testers still took several seconds longer than in the old car. Another study, done in 2024 by researchers in Norway, used tracking cameras to compare how long drivers were distracted while performing different tasks on a touchscreen. Even the quickest job like changing the temperature meant three and a half seconds, on average, of not looking at the road. New rules from Euro NCAP, an organization that provides safety ratings for cars sold in Europe, will give no car a full five-star score unless certain crucial functions are controlled by real switches. Euro NCAP’s safety guidelines have no legal force, but carmakers use its ratings as a selling point. Traditional carmakers have begun restoring some buttons to their new models. But innovation never stops. Even as touchscreens are falling out of favor, many manufacturers are turning their attention to voice control — though that is a subject for another story. 8. What is the main problem of car touchscreens according to the text? A. They are too expensive to produce. B. They easily break down while driving. C. They distract drivers and reduce road safety. D. They cannot control important safety features. 9. Why are physical buttons better than touchscreens for drivers? A. They present a more modern and fashionable design. B. They allow drivers to operate them without looking away. C. They take up less room inside the vehicle. D. They control more functions in a car than screens. 10. What can we learn about the test by Vi Bilägare? A. It was carried out by a European car company. B. Old cars with buttons finished tasks faster. C. All modern cars performed equally well. D. Drivers drove at a low speed during the test. 11. What influence will Euro NCAP’s new rules bring? A. Cars lacking physical buttons for key functions may fail to get top safety ratings. B. Car manufacturers will be forced to abandon touchscreens completely. C. The new safety guidelines will soon be legally enforced across Europe. D. Vehicles with five-star safety scores will be sold at much higher prices. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了汽车触屏操控易分散驾驶员注意力，多项测试证实其操作耗时久、安全隐患大。欧洲新规推动车企恢复实体按键，如今不少厂商转而研发语音控制功能。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“If scrolling down the screen of a smartphone while driving is distracting and then doing likewise with your car’s is probably risky too.( 如果开车时向下滚动智能手机屏幕会分散注意力，那么在你的车上做同样的事情可能也很危险。)”可知，根据这篇文章，汽车触摸屏的主要问题是它们会分散驾驶员的注意力，降低道路安全性。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Drivers know the location of physical controls and press buttons without taking their eyes off the road. A touchscreen offers no physical feedback, making the operation much harder.( 驾驶员能够凭借对物理控制装置的熟悉程度而不离开道路来按下按钮。而触摸屏则没有物理反馈，操作起来要困难得多。)”可知，实体按钮比触摸屏更适合司机使用是因为它们能让司机在操作时无需分心看屏幕。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In the old cars, drivers were able to do all their tasks within about 10 seconds, while the worst-performing modern car took 45 seconds. Even in the best-performing modern cars, testers still took several seconds longer than in the old car.( 在旧款汽车中，驾驶员能够在大约10秒内完成所有操作，而表现最差的现代汽车则需要45秒。即使是在表现最好的现代汽车中，测试人员也比旧车多花费了几秒钟的时间。)”可知，通过测试，我们可以了解到拥有按钮的旧款汽车完成任务的速度更快。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“New rules from Euro NCAP, an organization that provides safety ratings for cars sold in Europe, will give no car a full five-star score unless certain crucial functions are controlled by real switches.( 欧洲新车评估组织（Euro NCAP）——一个为在欧洲销售的汽车提供安全评级的组织——的新规定将不允许任何汽车获得全五星评级，除非某些关键功能由真实的开关来控制。)”可推知，欧洲新车评估组织的新规定对于缺少用于关键功能的实体按键的汽车可能无法获得顶级安全评级。 D Active fathering is rare in mammals (哺乳动物), with only 5% of the 6,000 species having involved dads. Because of this, scientists know little about how fatherly care works in mammals. Recently, a new research suggests that modifying a single gene can make adoring dads attack their children, at least in African striped mice, among which males show a wide range of behaviors toward the pups (幼崽). In a study published Feb. 18 in the journal Nature, researchers placed male African striped mice in cages either alone with a group of pups or in group housing with other dads and their pups. They found males kept in groups were more likely to ignore the pups or to try to kill them. To determine the cause, the team exposed male mice to pups, and then monitored their brain activity. They found the attentive dads had greater activity in one brain region, called the medial preoptic area (MPOA). The team then measured gene activity in cells from the MPOA. From this, they discovered that a gene called Agouti was more active in males that attacked pups than in males that cared for the pups. To confirm that Agouti expression was responsible for the transition, the team first exposed mice to pups, followed by inputting a virus that amped up the expression of the Agouti gene in the MPOA. When the males were exposed again to pups, their behavior changed. “We found that those males, when Agouti was increased, became threatening toward pups,” Rogers, a researcher at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute, noted, suggesting that this gene was acting as a sort of “switch” that shifted between mean and caring behavior in mouse fathers. While the Agouti gene found within the MPOA may have a strong link to the change in fatherly care, Rogers cautioned that this switch wasn’t the whole story. When the researchers moved males from group housing to single cages, Agouti levels dropped and caregiving increased, suggesting that the gene is influenced more by social context than by food availability. 12. What do male African striped mice tend to do when caged in group housing? A. Their brain activity declines. B. They seek chances to stay alone. C. They show mean behaviors to pups. D. Their fatherly behaviors multiply. 13. What is Agouti responsible for? A. Killing viruses. B. Activating MPOA. C. Controlling gene expression. D. Regulating fatherly manners. 14. What does the underlined “amped up” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Disturbed. B. Enhanced. C. Silenced. D. Caused. 15. What can be inferred from Roger’s words in the last paragraph? A. Agouti levels are unstable in mice. B. Males should give more care to kids. C. Mice should be raised in single cages. D. Social context accounts for fatherly care. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了哺乳动物中雄性主动抚育后代的现象十分罕见。研究发现 Agouti 基因如同行为开关，影响非洲条纹鼠的父性表现，同时该基因的活性也会受到生存社交环境的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In a study published Feb. 18 in the journal Nature, researchers placed male African striped mice in cages either alone with a group of pups or in group housing with other dads and their pups. They found males kept in groups were more likely to ignore the pups or to try to kill them.( 在2月18 日发表于《自然》杂志的一项研究中，研究人员将雄性非洲条纹鼠分别置于单独笼子中与一群幼崽共处，或者与其他父亲及其幼崽一起生活在笼子里。他们发现，生活在群体中的雄性更有可能忽视幼崽或试图杀死它们。)”可知，当雄性非洲条纹鼠被置于群居环境时，它们通常会对幼崽表现出凶狠的行为。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中““We found that those males, when Agouti was increased, became threatening toward pups,” Rogers, a researcher at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute, noted, suggesting that this gene was acting as a sort of “switch” that shifted between mean and caring behavior in mouse fathers.( 普林斯顿神经科学研究所的研究员罗杰斯指出：“我们发现，当Agouti基因增加时，这些雄性老鼠对幼崽变得有威胁。”他认为，这种基因在老鼠父亲的刻薄行为和关爱行为之间起着某种“开关”的作用。)”可知，Agouti负责规范父亲的行为。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“From this, they discovered that a gene called Agouti was more active in males that attacked pups than in males that cared for the pups.( 由此，他们发现一种名为Agouti的基因在攻击幼崽的雄性中比在照顾幼崽的雄性中更活跃。)”提到攻击性强的雄性 Agouti 基因活性更高；以及第四段中“We found that those males, when Agouti was increased, became threatening toward pups.( 我们发现，当Agouti基因增加时，这些雄性老鼠对幼崽变得有威胁。)”由此可知，研究人员输入病毒是为了增强Agouti 基因的表达。故可猜测划线短语amped up为“加强”的意思，和B选项Enhanced“增强”意思相近。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“When the researchers moved males from group housing to single cages, Agouti levels dropped and caregiving increased, suggesting that the gene is influenced more by social context than by food availability.( 当研究人员将雄性从群体居住转移到单个笼子时，Agouti水平下降，照顾增加，这表明该基因更多地受社会环境而不是食物供应的影响。)”可知，从罗杰在最后一段所说的话中可以推断出父性行为不仅受基因调控，社会环境才是更重要的影响因素。 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。 From posters to newspaper articles to presidential speeches, inspirational quotes are everywhere. But many are incorrect. Perhaps some have been wrongly attributed (归属为) over time, but others are just fake. There’s an often-shared internet meme that says: “The problem with quotes found on the internet is that they are often not true — Abraham Lincoln.” Of course, Lincoln didn’t say this! ____16____. The history of untrue quotes is far older than the internet. For example, in 1919, American author Mark Twain who had died in 1910 was quoted as saying: “A lie will fly around the whole world while the truth is getting its boots on.” ____17____. But Garson O’Toole who investigates the origins of quotes on Quote Investigator believes Mark Twain never said such a thing. The quote is probably based on something the English-Irish writer Jonathan Swift wrote in 1710: “Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after it.” This changed over time, and somehow got attributed to Twain. ____18____. That’s why you might see quotes attributed to people like Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe or Winston Churchill. They were even having quotes misattributed to them while alive. The internet has just made these quotes spread faster and farther. ____19____. But others are used to mean harm, perhaps to give the impression that a hurtful idea has been supported by a respected person — making it feel more acceptable to agree with. So how can we spot these fake quotes? It’s not always easy, say experts, because some have been attributed wrongly by thousands of websites and publications, including reputable ones. ____20____. And Quote Investigator isn’t a bad place to start. A. It’s a nice quote. B. Therefore, never coin your own quote. C. Some quotes are shared quite harmlessly. D. It was not Lincoln but Mark Twain who said that. E. Doing a bit of research is a good idea to ensure the accuracy. F. Misattributed quotes occur because famous names give authority to them. G. Good example as it is, misattributed quotes are not a digital-age invention. 【答案】16. G 17. A 18. F 19. C 20. E 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述励志名言普遍存在出处错误、编造作假的现象，列举典型误引案例，分析错误归属的原因与网络带来的传播影响，同时介绍辨别虚假名言的可行方法。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Of course, Lincoln didn’t say this!(当然，林肯并没有说过这句话。)”及后文“The history of untrue quotes is far older than the internet.(虚假名言的由来远比互联网出现更早。)”可知，前文举出林肯名言造假的例子，后文讲述不实名言出现的时间远早于互联网；故推知：空处承接上文案例，引出过往同类现象，起到承上启下作用；选项G“Good example as it is, misattributed quotes are not a digital-age invention.(这虽是典型案例，但名言张冠李戴并非数字时代才出现。)”符合原文内容。 【17题详解】 根据前文“For example, in 1919, American author Mark Twain who had died in 1910 was quoted as saying: “A lie will fly around the whole world while the truth is getting its boots on.”(例如，1919年，有人引用已于1910年离世的美国作家马克・吐温的名言：“真理尚未整装出发，谎言已走遍世间。”)”及后文“But Garson O’Toole who investigates the origins of quotes on Quote Investigator believes Mark Twain never said such a thing.(但专门在名言溯源网站考证语录出处的加森・奥图尔认为，马克・吐温从未说过这句话。)”可知，前文引用了广为流传的名句，后文转折提出马克・吐温并未说过这句话；故推知：空处先对这句话本身作出评价，再衔接下文质疑出处的内容；选项A“It’s a nice quote.(这句话写得很不错。)” 符合原文内容。 【18题详解】 根据后文“That’s why you might see quotes attributed to people like Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe or Winston Churchill.(这就是诸多名言被安在爱因斯坦、玛丽莲・梦露、温斯顿・丘吉尔等名人名下的原因。)”可知，后文点明名言错归名人的结果；故推知：空处阐释出现这类现象的内在原因；选项F“Misattributed quotes occur because famous names give authority to them.(名言归属出错，是因为名人头衔能增添话语可信度)”符合原文内容。 【19题详解】 根据后文“But others are used to mean harm (但另有部分虚假名言被恶意利用)”可知，后文讲述虚假名言带来的负面用途，前后存在转折对比关系；故推知：空处介绍善意分享的情况，与后文恶意使用形成反差；选项C“Some quotes are shared quite harmlessly.(部分名言只是无伤大雅地转发分享。)”符合原文内容。 【20题详解】 根据前文“It’s not always easy, say experts, because some have been attributed wrongly by thousands of websites and publications, including reputable ones.(专家表示辨别假名言并不容易，不少权威网站和刊物也存在错误归类情况。)”及后文“And Quote Investigator isn’t a bad place to start.(名言溯源网是个不错的查证起点。)”可知，前文说明辨别虚假名言存在难度，后文推荐名言查证平台；故推知：空处给出核实名言真伪的有效办法；选项E“Doing a bit of research is a good idea to ensure the accuracy.(稍加查证是保证内容真实性的有效方式。)” 符合原文内容。 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。 Like most people, I had to run phone marathons in my life.

Moonlight spilled faintly through the window, and Marisa Shoemaker’s eyes sparkled with quiet excitement, determined to weave a little birthday magic for her little girl. She pulled out a parcel, ready to unwrap the perfect gift: a real 61-key keyboard for her 4-year-old daughter, Aubree. To her shock, when she opened the package, there was only the stand and bench — the keyboard was sold separately. Dread washed over her at the thought of breaking her promise and disappointing Aubree. She spent the whole day searching online and calling stores, only to be met with constant “out of stock” replies. In desperation, she typed a heartfelt plea (请求) and posted it in a local Facebook group. Five miles away, Andy Spencer saw her post. “I hated to see a child’s birthday wish go unfulfilled,” he later said. He suddenly recalled the barely-used 61-key keyboard his own daughter had outgrown. So he immediately messaged Marisa and arranged to meet at a nearby store. Marisa’s eyes glistened with tears as the stranger handed over the keyboard. It felt like a warm, magical scene straight out of a movie. When she tried to pay, Andy gently refused, only asking for a photo of grinning Aubree. He even joked “Do give us a shoutout if she becomes the next Taylor Swift!” 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按照如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 At the birthday party, Aubree hopped into the living room like a happy little bunny. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Nurtured by that very keyboard, Aubree’s passion for music blossomed steadily. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 At the birthday party, Aubree hopped into the living room like a happy little bunny. The second she laid eyes on the keyboard, she froze for a second, then clapped her hands and screamed excitedly, “Mom! It’s exactly what I’ve been dreaming of!” She threw herself into Marisa’s arms, her voice trembling with joy, and kept repeating how much she loved the gift. Without hesitation, she climbed onto the bench, her small fingers dancing lightly over the keys, producing cheerful and crisp notes. Marisa quickly took a photo of her grinning face and sent it to Andy, her chest filled with deep gratitude and warmth. Nurtured by that very keyboard, Aubree’s passion for music blossomed steadily. Guided by constant practice and genuine talent, she eventually released her first music album — Keys of Kindness, fulfilling a dream rooted in that unforgettable birthday. Not only did she honor Andy’s lighthearted joke, but she also invited him to her album launch as an honored guest. It was such a simple act of kindness that laid the foundation for Aubree’s musical path, reminding us that even one heartfelt gesture can change a life and create infinite beauty. 【解析】 【详解】本文讲述了一位母亲在女儿生日前夜发现购买的键盘只有支架，键盘需另购。她四处寻找无果，无奈在脸书发帖求助。陌生男子Andy看到后，将自己女儿闲置的键盘免费送给她，而这份善意成就了孩子的音乐梦想。 1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可以写Aubree在生日派对上看到键盘后，先是愣住，随即兴奋地尖叫、拥抱母亲，并立刻坐上琴凳弹奏。母亲拍下她灿烂的笑容发给Andy，心中充满感激与温暖。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可以写多年后，Aubree的音乐热情在这台键盘的滋养下持续成长，最终发行了首张专辑Keys of Kindness。她不仅实现了Andy当年的玩笑期待，还邀请他作为嘉宾出席专辑发布会。 2.续写线索：见到礼物→惊喜弹奏→拍照感恩→键盘陪伴→音乐成长→专辑问世→致敬恩人→善意传承 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①跳跃：hopped/jumped/leapt ②沉浸：threw herself into/drowned oneself in/devoted oneself to 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitedly/enthusiastically/joyfully ②感激：gratitude/thankfulness/appreciation [高分句型1]The second she laid eyes on the keyboard, she froze for a second, then clapped her hands and screamed excitedly.（运用了the second引导的时间状语从句。） [高分句型2] Nurtured by that very keyboard, Aubree’s passion for music blossomed steadily.（运用了过去分词短语Nurtured...作状语，句式简洁高级。） [高分句型3] It was such a simple act of kindness that laid the foundation for Aubree’s musical path, reminding us that even one heartfelt gesture can change a life and create infinite beauty.（运用了强调句型、现在分词reminding作状语和that引导的宾语从句。） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 合肥市第八中学2026届高三最后一卷 英语试卷 注意事项： 1．本试卷满分 150 分，考试时间 150 分钟。 2．答题前，考生务必用直径 0.5 毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3．考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用 2B 铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径 0.5 毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4．本卷命题范围：高考范围。 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 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.

If you are an environmentally conscious meat-eater, a touch of guilt at the dinner table is common. Meat production imposes significant environmental costs, including deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions, and air and water pollution — all pressing issues as the world struggles with climate change. This has fueled growing interest in plant-based meats, such as Impossible Burger and Beyond Meat, which imitate real meat’s taste and texture (质地) without animal ingredients and are specifically marketed to traditional meat-eaters as a lower-impact alternative. Research highlights meat’s heavy environmental cost. Farm animals contributes about 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions, with cattle alone ranking second globally in emissions if considered a country. The UN projects global meat demand will swell by 15% by 2031, worsening deforestation and emissions. Grazing animals like cattle are far more harmful than pigs and chickens: per pound of meat, beef’s greenhouse gas emissions are over six times those of pork and nearly nine times those of chicken, due to methane (甲烷) released when cattle digest grass. Plant-based meats aim to address this crisis. Studies conducted by Impossible and Beyond show their burgers drastically cut environmental harm. Despite requiring deep processing, life cycle analyses confirm their environmental advantages — they use just 2-24% of the land and water needed for meat to provide equal protein. Hurdles remain: they cost 43% more than meat, struggle to imitate whole-muscle foods like steak, and rely on industrial agriculture. Yet for meat-lovers unwilling to switch to tofu or beans, plant-based meats offer a vital stopgap to reduce climate harm while satisfying their appetites. 1. What is special about plant-based meats like Impossible Burger and Beyond Meat? A. They both contain a large quantity of animal ingredients in their production. B. They are primarily marketed to people who follow a vegetarian diet. C. They reproduce the flavor of real meat while free of animal ingredients. D. They tend to be more expensive compared with traditional meat. 2. What do we know about Beyond’s burger from the passage? A. It emits 11% of a beef burger’s greenhouse gas. B. It uses only 1% of the water needed for beef production. C. It costs 43% less than traditional meat. D. It can perfectly mimic whole-muscle foods like steak. 3. Where is this passage most likely taken from? A. A science magazine B. A cookery book C. A travel guide D. A health journal B During my years at Stanford, I was the only deaf undergraduate on campus, and American Sign Language (ASL) empowered me to participate in my classes and extracurricular activities, including my lifelong favorite: riding with the Stanford equestrian (马术的) team. When I started college. I felt unsure of how I’d navigate such a hearing-centric world. I stopped by the Stanford Red Barn during New Student Orientation, wondering how to try out for the team, which is how I discovered that the head coach, Vanessa Bartsch, ‘99, had taken ASL during her own student years. She didn’t feel surprised at all when she met a future rider who was deaf. If anything, she seemed thrilled at the prospect of practicing her ASL again. Once I made the team, life in the barn is indeed what I did, whenever I wasn’t reading in Green Library. I started teaching Bartsch and my teammates some horsey vocabulary in ASL, including the self-made signs for “trot” and “canter” that I’d devised with my mother through her years of interpreting for my riding lessons. At Stanford, I brought ASL interpreters out to the riding arena, all of them arranged through the university’s Office of Accessible Education. Hitting the gym weekly with my teammates taught me the importance of cross-training, while routine chores at the barn brought home how our equine partners were far more than pieces of sporting equipment. I was constantly biking out to the Red Barn between classes, rushing into my discussion sections dirty and smelly. Being an equestrian athlete is unlike participating in other college sports, not least because of the bonds that can stir from this mutual love for smelling like horses. My Stanford teammates and I did not always understand each other perfectly — but my time on the team showed me that human language isn’t always essential for experiencing a deep connection with another living being. Today, I am an author. Good writing often feels like riding a strong horse. You sense the rhythm of every step as sentences connect one after another, and words move forward with creative energy. Sometimes, shaping these flowing sentences reminds me of the Red Barn. The regular sound of horse footsteps there influenced my inner thoughts just as much as any literature class did. 4. What impressed the author when she went to the Stanford Red Barn? A. She was the only deaf student on the whole campus. B. The head coach had learned American Sign Language before. C. She was immediately accepted as a member of the equestrian team. D. Many students on the team were willing to learn sign language. 5. What did the author do after joining the equestrian team? A. She gave up reading in the library to spend more time riding. B. She created new ASL signs for horse-related words with her mother. C. She taught her coach and teammates some horse-related signs in ASL. D. She helped the university set up the Office of Accessible Education. 6. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph? A. She spent most of her college time in the Red Barn rather than in the library. B. The author’s teammates looked down on her because she was deaf and smelly. C. Equestrian sports helped the author build close bonds with her teammates. D. The author thought human language is unnecessary for mutual understanding. 7. Why does the author compare good writing to riding a powerful horse? A. Because the memory of riding inspires her to keep practicing writing skills. B. Because riding helped her feel the rhythm and energy that are also needed in writing. C. Because both writing and riding need great physical strength and much patience. D. Because she believes writing is as simple as riding a well-trained horse. C Do you usually spot the touchscreen first when checking out a new car? For years, almost every new car sold has a high-tech screen that controls everything. Even safety features like automatic lane-keeping are sometimes screen-controlled. But is it really safe? If scrolling down the screen of a smartphone while driving is distracting and then doing likewise with your car’s is probably risky too. Drivers know the location of physical controls and press buttons without taking their eyes off the road. A touchscreen offers no physical feedback, making the operation much harder. And because screens have to do so many things, it often takes a few steps through several sub-menus to find the right setting. In 2022, Vi Bilägare, a Swedish motoring magazine, measured how long it took drivers to do things like changing the temperature while driving at 110 kilometers per hour. It compared 11 cars with touchscreens to a single older model with real buttons. In the old cars, drivers were able to do all their tasks within about 10 seconds, while the worst-performing modern car took 45 seconds. Even in the best-performing modern cars, testers still took several seconds longer than in the old car. Another study, done in 2024 by researchers in Norway, used tracking cameras to compare how long drivers were distracted while performing different tasks on a touchscreen. Even the quickest job like changing the temperature meant three and a half seconds, on average, of not looking at the road. New rules from Euro NCAP, an organization that provides safety ratings for cars sold in Europe, will give no car a full five-star score unless certain crucial functions are controlled by real switches. Euro NCAP’s safety guidelines have no legal force, but carmakers use its ratings as a selling point. Traditional carmakers have begun restoring some buttons to their new models. But innovation never stops. Even as touchscreens are falling out of favor, many manufacturers are turning their attention to voice control — though that is a subject for another story. 8. What is the main problem of car touchscreens according to the text? A. They are too expensive to produce. B. They easily break down while driving. C. They distract drivers and reduce road safety. D. They cannot control important safety features. 9. Why are physical buttons better than touchscreens for drivers? A. They present a more modern and fashionable design. B. They allow drivers to operate them without looking away. C. They take up less room inside the vehicle. D. They control more functions in a car than screens. 10. What can we learn about the test by Vi Bilägare? A. It was carried out by a European car company. B. Old cars with buttons finished tasks faster. C. All modern cars performed equally well. D. Drivers drove at a low speed during the test. 11. What influence will Euro NCAP’s new rules bring? A. Cars lacking physical buttons for key functions may fail to get top safety ratings. B. Car manufacturers will be forced to abandon touchscreens completely. C. The new safety guidelines will soon be legally enforced across Europe. D. Vehicles with five-star safety scores will be sold at much higher prices. D Active fathering is rare in mammals (哺乳动物), with only 5% of the 6,000 species having involved dads. Because of this, scientists know little about how fatherly care works in mammals. Recently, a new research suggests that modifying a single gene can make adoring dads attack their children, at least in African striped mice, among which males show a wide range of behaviors toward the pups (幼崽). In a study published Feb. 18 in the journal Nature, researchers placed male African striped mice in cages either alone with a group of pups or in group housing with other dads and their pups. They found males kept in groups were more likely to ignore the pups or to try to kill them. To determine the cause, the team exposed male mice to pups, and then monitored their brain activity. They found the attentive dads had greater activity in one brain region, called the medial preoptic area (MPOA). The team then measured gene activity in cells from the MPOA. From this, they discovered that a gene called Agouti was more active in males that attacked pups than in males that cared for the pups. To confirm that Agouti expression was responsible for the transition, the team first exposed mice to pups, followed by inputting a virus that amped up the expression of the Agouti gene in the MPOA. When the males were exposed again to pups, their behavior changed. “We found that those males, when Agouti was increased, became threatening toward pups,” Rogers, a researcher at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute, noted, suggesting that this gene was acting as a sort of “switch” that shifted between mean and caring behavior in mouse fathers. While the Agouti gene found within the MPOA may have a strong link to the change in fatherly care, Rogers cautioned that this switch wasn’t the whole story. When the researchers moved males from group housing to single cages, Agouti levels dropped and caregiving increased, suggesting that the gene is influenced more by social context than by food availability. 12. What do male African striped mice tend to do when caged in group housing? A. Their brain activity declines. B. They seek chances to stay alone. C. They show mean behaviors to pups. D. Their fatherly behaviors multiply. 13. What is Agouti responsible for? A. Killing viruses. B. Activating MPOA. C. Controlling gene expression. D. Regulating fatherly manners. 14. What does the underlined “amped up” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Disturbed. B. Enhanced. C. Silenced. D. Caused. 15. What can be inferred from Roger’s words in the last paragraph? A. Agouti levels are unstable in mice. B. Males should give more care to kids. C. Mice should be raised in single cages. D. Social context accounts for fatherly care. 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。 From posters to newspaper articles to presidential speeches, inspirational quotes are everywhere. But many are incorrect. Perhaps some have been wrongly attributed (归属为) over time, but others are just fake. There’s an often-shared internet meme that says: “The problem with quotes found on the internet is that they are often not true — Abraham Lincoln.” Of course, Lincoln didn’t say this! ____16____. The history of untrue quotes is far older than the internet. For example, in 1919, American author Mark Twain who had died in 1910 was quoted as saying: “A lie will fly around the whole world while the truth is getting its boots on.” ____17____. But Garson O’Toole who investigates the origins of quotes on Quote Investigator believes Mark Twain never said such a thing. The quote is probably based on something the English-Irish writer Jonathan Swift wrote in 1710: “Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after it.” This changed over time, and somehow got attributed to Twain. ____18____. That’s why you might see quotes attributed to people like Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe or Winston Churchill. They were even having quotes misattributed to them while alive. The internet has just made these quotes spread faster and farther. ____19____. But others are used to mean harm, perhaps to give the impression that a hurtful idea has been supported by a respected person — making it feel more acceptable to agree with. So how can we spot these fake quotes? It’s not always easy, say experts, because some have been attributed wrongly by thousands of websites and publications, including reputable ones. ____20____. And Quote Investigator isn’t a bad place to start. A. It’s a nice quote. B. Therefore, never coin your own quote. C. Some quotes are shared quite harmlessly. D. It was not Lincoln but Mark Twain who said that. E. Doing a bit of research is a good idea to ensure the accuracy. F. Misattributed quotes occur because famous names give authority to them. G. Good example as it is, misattributed quotes are not a digital-age invention. 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。 Like most people, I had to run phone marathons in my life.

Moonlight spilled faintly through the window, and Marisa Shoemaker’s eyes sparkled with quiet excitement, determined to weave a little birthday magic for her little girl. She pulled out a parcel, ready to unwrap the perfect gift: a real 61-key keyboard for her 4-year-old daughter, Aubree. To her shock, when she opened the package, there was only the stand and bench — the keyboard was sold separately. Dread washed over her at the thought of breaking her promise and disappointing Aubree. She spent the whole day searching online and calling stores, only to be met with constant “out of stock” replies. In desperation, she typed a heartfelt plea (请求) and posted it in a local Facebook group. Five miles away, Andy Spencer saw her post. “I hated to see a child’s birthday wish go unfulfilled,” he later said. He suddenly recalled the barely-used 61-key keyboard his own daughter had outgrown. So he immediately messaged Marisa and arranged to meet at a nearby store. Marisa’s eyes glistened with tears as the stranger handed over the keyboard. It felt like a warm, magical scene straight out of a movie. When she tried to pay, Andy gently refused, only asking for a photo of grinning Aubree. He even joked “Do give us a shoutout if she becomes the next Taylor Swift!” 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按照如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 At the birthday party, Aubree hopped into the living room like a happy little bunny. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Nurtured by that very keyboard, Aubree’s passion for music blossomed steadily. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
