I’m excited to share my design for our school’s 20th anniversary show. I propose we program several robots to perform a simplified Tai Chi routine. Their precise, synchronized movements can beautifully demonstrate the flow and strength of Chinese martial arts in a futuristic way. This fusion of technology and tradition, I believe, is incredibly meaningful. It not only makes our cultural heritage more accessible and appealing to younger generations but also showcases the spirit of innovation, breathing new life into ancient practices. It will surely be a memorable highlight!Thank you! 读后续写: Version 1：  Later that night, I tossed and turned in bed, lost in reflection. I kept thinking about the test, wondering whether I should tell Mom the truth. If I told her, I would lose the game. But if I didn’t, I would be dishonest. I couldn’t sleep. As I lay there, the image of Mom’s proud smile when she saw my “A+” kept flashing before my eyes, making my chest tight with guilt. After struggling for the whole night, I finally made up my mind！     The next morning, I decided to tell her the truth even if it meant losing the game. I told Mom I failed the test and she left without saying a word. I thought she would be angry, but when she came back, she said, “I believe you can do better next time.” I was so surprised and I promised to study hard. I learned that my mom loved me and I should be honest. From that day on, I worked harder than ever, determined to earn the trust and respect I truly deserved. Version 2： Later that night, I tossed and turned in bed, lost in reflection. The new game box lay on my desk, but it brought me no joy at all. All I could think about was Mom’s proud smile and how I had lied to her just for a selfish reward. The guilt weighed heavily on my heart, and I realized gaining the game at the cost of honesty was never worth it. True pride should come from real effort, not a fake perfect grade. The next morning, I decided to tell her the truth even if it meant losing the game. I walked to Mom with my head down, handed her the test paper, and explained everything nervously. To my surprise, instead of getting angry, she hugged me gently. She told me she was far more proud of my courage to admit my mistake than any perfect grade. That day, I learned that honesty is the most valuable lesson I could ever get. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026届高三第二学期第三次模拟考试英语试题 考试时间： 120分钟 满分：120 分 (命题人:罗文聪 曾佳瑜 审题人：刘 婕) 第二部分 阅读理解（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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Composition of E-Waste Nowadays, e-waste is one of the world’s fastest-growing waste streams. Waste electronics contain harmful substances like lead and mercury, posing serious environmental and health risks. However, e-waste also represents a valuable “urban mine”. It holds an estimated 31 million tons of metals, 17 million tons of plastics, and 14 million tons of glass. One ton of circuit boards (电路板)can contain up to 800 times more precious metals than a ton of gold-bearing rocks in the natural mines. Despite this, less than 1% of rare earth elements are recycled. Recycled e-waste is a valuable resource for sustainable industries. Its metals, e.g. gold and copper, are reused in electronics, vehicles, and renewable energy systems. Recovered plastics find new life in durable products, while glass is processed into building materials. This circular (循环的) approach cuts energy use, reduces mining demand, supporting both the economy and the environment. The e-waste management market is projected to more than double by 2027. While 81 countries have adopted Extended Producer Responsibility laws, collection rates still fall behind policy goals. To improve recycling, governments should strengthen EPR laws, and invest in facilities. Institutions can promote research and public awareness. Individuals should properly drop off e-waste at collection points, mend items rather than throw them away, and support brands with strong environmental commitments. 21．What percentage do screens and cables account for in all e-waste compositions? A．12%. B．14%. C．17%. D．60%. 22．What is a key advantage of e-waste compared to natural mines? A．It contains more rare elements. B．It provides more recoverable non-metals. C．It can be richer in precious metals. D．It works better as building materials. 23．What is suggested for individuals to help recycle e-waste? A．Invest in formal recycling facilities. B．Launch public awareness campaigns. C．Set clear personal take-back plans. D．Choose repair over replacement. B My small backyard had been neglected for years with overgrown weeds and dry soil. Last summer, I determined to transform it: I bought seeds, soil, and basic tools, eager to start my gardening project. The first few weeks were disheartening. The seeds either failed to grow or were eaten by birds.I watered tirelessly every day, adjusted sunlight, and tended to them constantly, yet nothing grew. I was ready to quit, convinced I had no talent for gardening. One afternoon, my neighbor Mr. Henderson, who tended his roses daily, watched me and said gently:“You’ re trying too hard. Plants need care, but also space to grow on their own.” His words made sense. I relaxed: watered less often, let rain do its part, and stopped overthinking. Soon, tiny green buds emerged. By August, my backyard bloomed with color and scent; I’d sit there evenings, tasting tea, amazed by their beauty. Then a storm hit — strong winds knocked over my sunflowers. Heartbroken, I planned to pull them up, but Mr. Henderson appeared again:“Don’t give up. The strongest plants survive storms — they’ ll heal if you give them a chance.” Weeks later, those sunflowers stood taller and stronger, their golden heads turning to the sun. I realized gardening wasn’t just about growing plants. All things have their own rhythm of recovery;what we struggle to control often fails, while what we gently trust finds its way back to light. The world does not always bend to our hurry, and neither do the things we care for. Some winds are meant to strengthen us, not break us. This summer, I’ll plant more seeds, both in the garden and in my heart. Growth takes time, and even life’s hardest moments are our greatest teachers. 24. Why does the author think she has no talent for gardening? A. She didn’t know how to use tools. B. She worked hard caring plants but in vain. C. She didn’t have a good taste for plants. D. She was slow in learning plant knowledge. 25. How did the author respond to Mr. Henderson’s advice? A. Let nature take its course. B. Stop watering the seeds. C. Ask him to look after her garden. D. Learn to enjoy the garden’s beauty. 26. Why are the sunflowers mentioned in the text? A. To present the risks of gardening. B. To highlight the delicacy of young plants. C. To illustrate the cruelty of natural disasters. D. To show the strength and energy of plants. 27. What can be inferred about the author? A. She never gives up when things get difficult. B. She believes success comes from effort and luck. C. She considers gardening the top priority in her life. D. She reshapes her gardening mindset in light of experiences. C Dawn had yet to break over Edmonton, Alberta, as the temperature had plummeted sharply. Still, Tanis Smith wrapped herself up and prepared to run up and down hundreds of stairs among the trees in the Saskatchewan River Valley. When she arrived at 6 a. m, ten other people joined her. It wouldn’t be the last time they risked freezing their feet off to get in a workout before the rest of the world woke up. Since that winter of 2013, Smith has seldom missed a workout with the group, known as the November Project, a network of free outdoor group exercise classes that started in Boston. No matter the month or weather, participants roll out of bed before daybreak at least once a week. It started when a pair of friends challenged each other to exercise every morning for the month of November. By the end of the month, they were persuading others to join them. “A party is better when there are more people around,” said Bojan Mandaric, who co-founded the project with Brogan Graham in 2011. Soon, their meetings were attracting a few dozen people. Now there are 52 chapters in eight countries. Workouts begin with jumping and a call-and-response chant (反复呼喊的话语) to loosen people up physically and mentally. How the classes continue varies depending on the location and day of the week, but most include running and body weight exercises. They also include playful activities that are typical of childhood breaks in the schoolyard. One workout in Boston involved a kind of Easter egg hunt, where participants searched for plastic eggs as quickly as possible, and broke them open to find tasks such as walking like a gorilla (大猩猩), or throwing grass at Mandaric’s head. The point is to help people make connections, said Jason Shaw, co-leader of the Indianapolis chapter. He called the project “a chosen family”, the very thing that he appreciates most. 28. What does the underlined word “plummeted” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. varied B. decreased. C. risen D.recovered 29. What can we learn about the November Project? A. It was created in 2013. B. It has won great popularity. C. It holds competitions regularly. D. It organizes gatherings on a daily basis. 30. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The benefits of exercising. B. The rules for playing games. C. The varied workouts. D. The importance of warming up. 31. What is a suitable title for the text? A. A Running Fan Sets a Good Example B. Workouts Make a Big Difference C. Take on a Challenge, Join an Exercise D. Run with the Group, Run with Great Fun D Many people take vitamin D supplements(补充) to keep their bones strong and their immune(免疫) system healthy, especially during winter when sunlight is not enough. However, not all supplements are the same. There are two main types: vitamin D2 and vitamin D3. Recent research from British universities reveals a surprising fact: taking vitamin D2 might actually lower the body’s levels of vitamin D3, which is the form our bodies produce naturally from sunlight and use most effectively. A study published in Nutrition Reviews examined data from several trials. It found that people who took vitamin D2 saw their vitamin D3 levels drop compared to those who did not take D2. In many cases, their D3 levels fell even lower than the average. Emily Brown, the lead researcher, explained that while supplements are vital between October and March, choosing the wrong type could be counterproductive. This finding supports earlier research showing that D2 and D3 play different roles in immune function. Professor Colin Smith noted that only vitamin D3 seems to activate a key part of the immune system called the type I interferon signalling system. This system acts as a first line of defence against viruses and bacteria. Therefore, maintaining healthy levels of vitamin D3 could help prevent infections, whereas D2 does not appear to offer the same protection. Experts emphasize the need for further research to confirm these differences. Professor Cathie Martin highlighted the importance of making plant-based vitamin D3 available in the UK, as current options are often limited. With vitamin D deficiency being a major public health issue, especially in winter, choosing the most effective supplement is crucial for national health. In conclusion, while taking vitamin D is important, the type matters significantly. To best support your immune system and overall health, it may be wise to choose vitamin D3 over D2. As science continues to uncover the unique functions of these vitamins, consumers should stay informed to make the best choices for their well-being. 32. What is the main disadvantage of taking vitamin D2 supplements mentioned in the text? A. They are too expensive for most people. B. They reduce the body’s natural vitamin D3 levels. C. They cause serious side effects in winter. D. They are not recommended by the government. 33. Why is vitamin D3 considered more effective for immune protection? A. It is cheaper to produce than vitamin D2. B. It helps the body absorb more sunlight. C. It activates a key defence system against diseases. D. It is the only type available in the UK market. 34. What can be inferred from Professor Cathie Martin's statement? A. Plant-based vitamin D3 is currently hard to get in the UK. B. Vitamin D2 is better for people who eat plants. C. The government should ban vitamin D2 supplements. D. Most people do not need vitamin D supplements. 35. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text? A. To advertise a new type of vitamin supplement. B. To compare the prices of different vitamins. C. To warn people about a common supplement mistake. D. To explain how sunlight produces vitamin D. 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。 We all want to make lasting changes to our daily behaviors from time to time— perhaps exercise more or spend less time on our phones before bed. But how long does it take to build a habit? 36 This number first appeared in a book by Dr. Maxwell Maltz. He reported that his patients needed at least 21 days to change the mental image of how they looked. Since then, many people have applied the “21-day rule” to all habits. 37 Some may need more than three weeks to become habits. How long it takes to form a new habit may depend on the habit, on you, and on what methods you’re using to build and maintain it. Studies have shown that habit formation may take anywhere between 18 and 254 days.The average amount of time needed for a behavior to become a habit is 66 days. 38 38 For example,those who were asked to develop a habit of drinking a glass of water at breakfast tended to be more successful than those who were asked to do 50 sit-ups each day. In addition, self-efficacy (自我效能感) is the key to developing and maintaining habits. 39 39 Put simply, a person who doesn’t think he can maintain new behaviors will be less likely to keep his habit. It’s also important to make a goal more attractive. Mark Vahrmeyer, a doctor who helps people deal with mental health problems, says, “ If the process of building your habit involves nothing but self-sacrifice (自我牺牲) with no reward, you are unlikely to stick to your goals. ” 40 For example, if the goal is to go to the gym three times a week, a person should pick a gym with a convenient location. A. A popular answer is 21 days. B. It’s also important to repeat a habit. C. However, not all behaviors are the same. D. Habits are the small decisions you make every day. E. He also advises making the process as easy as possible. F. And different actions require a different level of effort too. G. It’s a belief in one’s ability to complete a task or achieve a goal. 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和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My carefree daughters should have been a gift to my task-driven nature, but I was too busy to see it.

It was just the motivation I needed. I was usually a pretty good student, but with that extra push, I was determined to do well on my next math test. Every evening, I buried myself in my notes, practicing problems. My confidence grew with every completed practice test. When the big day arrived, I felt ready. I took a deep breath as I entered the classroom and tried to keep calm. But despite all the preparation, my nerves got the better of me. Halfway through the test, I blanked on a formula, and time was running out. I scribbled down the best answers I could and handed in my paper, hoping for the best. A week later, I got the test back. My heart sank as I saw the big red “A-” at the top. “No game,” I thought miserably. It wasn’t a bad grade, but it wasn’t enough. Disappointed, I stared at the grade, wishing it could magically turn into an “A+”. I could almost hear my mom’s voice, full of pride, congratulating me on my hard work. The idea gnawed (啃咬) at me until I did something I never thought I’d do. I changed the “-” into a “+”. The moment I got home, I handed the test to my mom with a forced smile. She looked at it and congratulated me, hugging me proudly. Then she turned to walk toward her bedroom. My heart raced-part excitement, part a sharp twist of guilt I couldn’t ignore. A moment later, she emerged holding a black box, the logo of the game I’d begged for glinting in the lamplight. “I picked it up yesterday, just knowing my hardworking kid would pull through,” she said, pressing the box into my hands. I forced a thank-you, my voice tight. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Later that night, I tossed and turned in bed, lost in reflection.__________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, I decided to tell her the truth even if it meant losing the game. _________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第 5 页 共 4 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
