2026届高三年级三轮复习英语限时模拟（四） 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A There are a lot of factors that affect how long milk is good for after the sell-by date. The biggest is whether the milk has been through pasteurization (巴氏杀菌法), which is defined as “the process of heating every drop of milk to destroy all human pathogens (病原体)”. How long raw milk lasts “Because raw milk has not gone through a heat step to reduce the bacterial count, it will break down and go bad more quickly,” says Amit Shah, senior director of quality at Maple Hill Creamery in New York. According to Alex O’Brien, a food safety and quality organizer at the University of Wisconsin Center for Dairy Research, it’d be lucky to get seven days of drinkability with raw milk. Until the early 1900s, milk was frequently the vehicle for foodborne illnesses. That’s why selling raw milk to the general public is illegal in many situations and states. How long pasteurized milk lasts Pasteurized milk generally lasts three weeks to a month after processing, provided it’s properly refrigerated. That’s regardless of whether it is nonfat, low fat, whole or without milk sugar. Experts say unopened milk will last two to five days past its sell-by date, though it might be fine for a week. They recommend drinking an opened container of milk as soon as possible (say, within a few days) for the freshest taste. How long long-life milk lasts Buy long-life milk, and your container will last even longer — anywhere from 30 to 90 days when stored properly and unopened. This type of milk goes through ultra-high temperature pasteurization and is packaged in clean containers. “Long-life milk is shelf stable and does not need refrigeration until opened,” an expert says. 21. What is a problem with raw milk? A. Its potential health risks. B. Its high cost of production. C. Its unusual taste and mouthfeel. D. Its limited nutritional value. 22. What is a unique feature of long-life milk? A. It is packaged in traditional ways. B. It requires no cooling before opening. C. It is processed at low temperatures. D. It has a strict shelf life of seven days. 23. What is the purpose of the text? A. To show benefits of drinking different milk. B. To explain nutrition standards for milk products. C. To illustrate factors influencing the shelf life of milk. D. To review the history of milk processing techniques. B As the Qingming Festival approached in early April 2026, a group of 12th grade students from a local high school launched a special volunteer project named “Pixel Bridges.” Their goal was to use artificial intelligence to restore faded, pixelated old photos of war veterans, helping them find relatives separated for decades due to historical conflicts. The project quickly gained attention from local media and the municipal veterans affairs bureau. Led by computer science teacher Ms. Chen, the 15 member team spent two weeks training a custom AI model on thousands of old photos donated by the veterans’ association. The students overcame technical challenges, such as adjusting the algorithm to recognize damaged facial features and blurred background details. Each member took charge of a specific task: data collection, model training, photo restoration or communication with veterans. They worked after school and on weekends, driven by the desire to bring warmth to elderly heroes. By mid April, the team had successfully restored 87 old photos, with a 92% accuracy rate in facial feature recognition. Among the heartwarming results was 91 year old veteran Mr. Wang, who finally found his younger sister’s family in Guangdong after 73 years of separation. The AI restored photo of his sister, originally taken in 1953, was the key to confirming their relationship through DNA testing. Another veteran, Ms. Li, tearfully reunited with her nephew after seeing the clear image of her late brother. The “Pixel Bridges” project soon expanded beyond the city. More than 30 high schools across the province joined the initiative, forming a volunteer network that processed over 500 photo restoration requests in just three weeks. Local tech companies donated software licenses and computing resources, while a renowned photo studio offered free printing services for the restored images. The students also created a digital archive to preserve the veterans’ family stories for future generations. Reflecting on their work, team leader Zhang Wei stated that the project taught them far more than technical skills. “We learned to empathize with the veterans’ long held regrets and the power of technology to heal emotional wounds,” he said. Ms. Chen added that such programs cultivate students’ sense of social responsibility and innovative thinking, essential qualities for young people in the digital age. The “Pixel Bridges” project has become a shining example of how youth can use modern tools to honor history and connect lives. 24. What can we learn about the project’s early stage? A. It valued photo related profits B. It drew more youth support than expected C. It broadened media coverage purposefully D. It attracted broader public focus 25. What can be inferred about the student team from Paragraph 2? A. They grasped AI skills faster than peers B. They optimized background data more patiently C. They shifted focus to non facial features D. They met trickier technical barriers 26. What can we infer about the team’s results in Paragraph 3? A. Fewer veterans gained family reunion B. It matched DNA data with photo features C. It deepened reunion bonds gradually D. It shortened reunion waiting time more 27. What is the theme of the text? A. AI restores aged war photos B. Youth grow via AI volunteering C. AI sorts veterans’ life stories D. AI links regional volunteer groups C Before becoming a therapist (治疗师), I had no idea what it meant to “hold space” for somebody. Now, the term is widespread on social media and serves as the foundation of my work. Holding space is the backbone of supportive relationships and bridges the gap between two people when one person is in hardship. The term “holding space” was first popularized by Heather Plett, a writer in Canada. In a 2015 blog post, Plett described holding space as “the act of being fully present with someone else, without judgment or distraction, so that the person can share their experiences and perspectives. This looks like creating a safe, accepting environment, engaging in attentive listening and offering non-judgmental support.” Research shows that holding space can reduce stress and anxiety, enhance relationships, and improve mental health and well-being. Holding space is no easy task. It requires the patience to be calm, to delay a response even when someone has upset or frustrated you. It also requires radical acceptance, a release of your ideas about who the other person should or can be, and openness and honesty about who they actually are. These skills require us to know ourselves as well. “Holding space is a form of attunement (调和) or the ability to be aware of our own state of mind and body while also tuning in and connecting to another person,” the University of Pennsylvania professor Edward Brodkin said. But “holding space” doesn’t ask us to honor others’ feelings without comment or response. Instead it is a baseline of love and acceptance from which a deeper, more genuine connection can grow. As Brodkin puts it, “It’s a way of investing in your relationship, developing it and enabling it to grow. In order for the relationship to grow, you need to be able to see them for who they really are. If you can’t, then how can you know them with any depth?” 28. Why is Heather Plett’s comment mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To explain the definition of “holding space”. B. To indicate the challenges of “holding space”. C. To reveal historical facts about “holding space”. D. To present the skills required for “holding space”. 29. What does “radical acceptance” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. A skill to keep distance with others. B. An effective way to process your emotions. C. An ability to find opportunity in adversity. D. An emotional reaction to the cruel reality. 30. What does Brodkin advise us to do? A. Stop being affected by others’ comments. B. Pick an investment account. C. Build a healthy relationship with others. D. Show the greatest tolerance to others. 31. What is the best title of the text? A. “Holding Space”: A Practice of Forgiving Others B. “Holding Space”: The Art of Supportive Relationships C. The Power of “Holding Space” to Get Out of Trouble D. The Benefits of “Holding Space” in Changing Oneself D Nitrogen fertilizer (氮肥) is essential for modern agriculture but carries a heavy environmental price, contributing to water pollution and soil degradation. However, simply reducing its use is not a solution. Crops typically respond to nitrogen shortage by investing more in root growth to search for nutrients, often at the expense of shoot (茎叶) development and grain production. While adaptive in the wild, this root-shoot trade-off limits agricultural productivity. For decades, the gene behind this trade-off has been unknown. In a new study, researchers from Nanjing Agricultural University, the University of Oxford, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences not only identified the gene responsible, but demonstrated that modifying it in rice can ensure stable shoot growth and yields even when nitrogen levels are low. The breakthrough could ultimately reduce dependence on artificial fertilizers. In experiments, the team found that a gene in rice called WRINKLEDIa has distinct roles in the shoot and root. In the shoot, it switches on NGR5, a key gene that promotes branching. In the roots, WRINKLEDIa supports nitrogen uptake, but also prevents the formation of a protein complex that would otherwise limit root growth. Interestingly, WRINKLEDIa does not prevent this protein complex in the shoot, showing that its roles are tissue-specific. From over 3,000 rice varieties, the team identified a naturally stronger version of the gene and used traditional plant breeding (育种) to cross it into varieties carrying a weaker form. Over three field trials in Hainan and Anhui provinces, China, rice plants with this improved version maintained a more stable root-to-shoot balance across different nitrogen conditions, resulting in a 23.7% yield increase under low fertilizer use and a 19.9% increase under high fertilizer use. Lead author Dr. Shan Li noted that WRINKLEDIa helps rice avoid the usual “more roots, less shoot” situation under nitrogen limitation, supporting stable yields with lower nitrogen inputs. “The next step is to investigate whether similar genes in other crops, such as wheat and corn, can be used to achieve the same outcomes,” she added. 32. Which aspect of the root-shoot trade-off does the new study focus on? A. Its economic cost. B. Its nutritional demand. C. Its genetic mechanism. D. Its environmental impact. 33. What can we learn about WRINKLEDIa? A. Its function varies in different tissues. B. Its effect is restricted to the shoot. C. It promotes protein complex’s formation. D. It reduces nitrogen levels in the roots. 34. What might the study help to do according to the text? A. Contribute to food diversity. B. Facilitate sustainable farming. C. Justify nitrogen fertilizer use. D. Advance rice breeding methods. 35. What do Dr. Shan Li’s words suggest? A. The limitation of the research. B. A challenge in applying the findings. C. The need to test the outcomes. D. A possible direction for further study. 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Start a Conversation with a Stranger Striking up a conversation with someone you don’t know can feel frightening. Whether it’s at a party, on a train, or in a coffee shop, the fear of rejection or awkwardness often holds us back. However, connecting with new people is one of life’s great pleasures. Here are some simple strategies to make it easier. Start with an observation. The easiest way to break the ice is to comment on your shared environment. It’s low-pressure and doesn’t require any personal information. 36 For instance, if you’re at a bookshop, you might say, “That author is amazing. Have you read any other books of his?” Use open-ended questions. Once you’ve broken the ice, keep the conversation flowing. Avoid questions that can be answered with a simple “yes” or “no.” 37 This encourages the other person to share a bit more and gives you material to work with. For example, instead of “Do you like this music?”, ask “What do you think of the band?” Practice active listening. People love to feel heard. Instead of thinking about what you’re going to say next while the other person is talking, really focus on their words. 38 It shows you’re engaged and encourages them to elaborate. A simple “That’s really interesting, tell me more” can work wonders. Find common ground. As the conversation develops, listen for shared interests or experiences. Discovering a mutual connection can instantly make a conversation more enjoyable and meaningful. 39 It could be a shared love for hiking, a dislike for a certain food, or knowing the same place. 40 Not every attempt will lead to a deep friendship, and that’s perfectly fine. If a conversation feels forced or fizzles out (逐渐消失), don’t take it personally. Simply smile, excuse yourself politely, and move on. Every conversation is practice for the next one. A. Show your interest through nods and brief comments. B. This turns a casual chat into a more engaging interaction. C. It helps to have a few interesting stories prepared in advance. D. Accept that some conversations will naturally come to an end. E. Instead, ask questions that begin with “how,” “why,” or “what.” F. It’s important to always try to keep the conversation light and humorous. G. This could be about the weather, the music playing, or the event you’re both at. 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。 For sixteen years, a mysteriously (神秘地) decorated Christmas tree on a remote road of 90in Montana puzzled travelers.

Not because he didn’t like sports, but because even a short run would leave him breathless. At 16, he weighed over 100 kilograms. He tried dieting several times, only to quit within a week. Ms. Clark, the school doctor, had long noticed David’s problems. At every health check, his condition worsened: high blood pressure, high blood lipids (高血脂) and knee pain. She advised him on healthy eating and exercise. “My knees hurt,” he would say. Or “I’m just too busy with my school work.” Sometimes he blamed the canteen food, other times, the exam stress. However, Ms. Clark noticed the other side of David. She’d often spot him buried in textbooks in the library. She’d also hear teachers praise him for being active in group projects — a contrast to his give-up attitude towards fitness. One day, Ms. Clark read a story about a teacher who treated her slow history class as an honors class. Believing the students were “gifted”, she pushed them harder — and they all made great progress. Inspired, Ms. Clark decided to try something similar. She selected five overweight students, including David, and formed a special group. “From today on,” she announced, “you are my honors health class. We’ll work together and you are expected to lose at least 10 kilograms and improve your fitness by the end of this semester.” David let out a laugh, “I’ve failed so many times.” “That’s because you expected to fail,” Ms. Clark said firmly. “But honors students don’t quit.” She taught them how to keep a food diary and how to do simple exercise. David lost 1.5 kilograms in the first week — more than he had lost in the past two years combined. However, three weeks into the program, disaster struck. It was mid-term exam week. David stayed up late every night, snacking on instant noodles and cookies. At the weekly weigh-in, he regained all the weight he’d lost — plus half a kilogram. He stood silently before the group, his face burning with shame. 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。 Ms. Clark pulled David aside and said, “I’m still proud of you.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The following week, David stood confidently with his group at the weigh-in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025届高三年级三轮复习英语限时模拟（四）答案解析 阅读理解 A篇【答案】21.

I believe this lecture is incredibly timely and crucial for us high school students as we face important choices for our future. We are all eagerly looking forward to gaining valuable insights and direction from your guidance. Regarding my personal confusions, I often wonder how to select a university major that truly aligns with my passions while also ensuring promising career prospects. Furthermore, I’m a bit unsure about what specific preparations I should make during high school to build a solid foundation for my future career development. Thank you again for your thoughtful efforts. I eagerly await a successful and insightful lecture. Yours, Li Hua 读后续写范文： Ms. Clark pulled David aside and said, “I’m still proud of you.” Staring at her gentle and sincere eyes. David froze, overcome with guilt. He lowered his head and mumbled that he felt like a failure again. Ms. Clark patted his shoulder softly and explained that setbacks were inevitable on the way to progress. What truly mattered was not temporary failure, but whether he dared to start over. She reminded him of his initial efforts and encouraged him to forgive himself for the mistake. Deeply touched, David made up his mind to get back on track. The following week, David stood confidently with his group at the weigh-in. He strictly stuck to healthy diets and kept doing daily exercise after the mid-term exam. Instead of staying up late for snacks, he arranged his study time reasonably. His persistent efforts finally paid off. The scale showed that he lost two kilograms this week. A bright smile spread across his face. Thanks to Ms. Clark’s encouragement, David realized that perseverance was the key to success, and he would never give up on himself again. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
