I was a director of labor relations for a big company ten years ago, and I should have been happy. I had everything that I thought I wanted, but going into work every day took away a bit of myself. Until finally I stopped and said, where is that lively college girl who used to read tens of books and do fun things? Where is SHE? I knew I had to look for her. Then one day, walking through a children's bookstore, IT hit me. I loved these books. I gathered an armful of books and said, this is what I want to do. And since then, I have treated writing like a full time job. I wrote over twenty stories in the next year, and most of them got sent back with letters saying they were not good enough. But I didn't give up. When I worked in the company, I worked sixty hour weeks because I had to. Now I sixty hour weeks because I love IT. If I hadn't made that choice to take a chance to do something that really spoke to me, I don't think I could have lived with myself. Well, i'd love to share with you something about my life.

I'm writing to tell you about my volunteer experience at the city library's “4·23 World Book Day” event last weekend! The activity included a book fair with diverse genres and storytelling sessions for kids. During the activity, I helped arrange book stalls, gave out reading recommendation cards, and assisted visitors in finding their favorite reads. It was truly rewarding. Seeing kids get excited about books reminded me how powerful reading can be and how it bridged generations and cultures. The whole experience made me appreciate libraries even more as community spaces. Yours, Li Hua 第二节 One possible version: I was about to suggest we leave when the door opened. There stood Mrs. Patterson, her slim body trembling slightly. She stared at the cake. “Is that… for me?” she asked in a whisper. Leo nodded eagerly and held out the card. “We made you a birthday cake! I drew the sun because you like gardening.” She took the card with shaky fingers, and as she read the simple message — “Happy Birthday, Mrs. Patterson! From Leo & Mom”, a tear rolled down her cheek. “No one has remembered my birthday in years,” she said softly. She opened the door wide and invited us to come in. Inside, we found her living room was very tidy. As Leo chattered about school and birds, Mrs. Patterson's face brightened. She lit a candle from her kitchen drawer, and asked Leo to blow it out with her and make a wish. “What did you wish for?” Mrs. Patterson asked. “More birthdays with you!” he smiled. Mrs. Patterson laughed, hugging Leo tightly. I learned that day sometimes, the smallest act of kindness, born from a child's noticing heart, can light up the loneliest corner and remind us of the warmth of human connection. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三英语 考生注意： 1．本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120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。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 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.

Many years ago, several coworkers and I developed a “Life, Career, and Educational Planning” curriculum for adult learners. We knew that our community college students had often had unsuccessful experiences in school, and that what led to fond memories for us, like the smell of crayons or a new blank notebook, would have the opposite effect on them. Our goal was to help them understand where the negative messages came from and build their confidence. My memories of school are positive. It was a place where I excelled and was from an early age regarded as a leader. But when I was discussing different kinds of memories with my writing group recently, I was surprised to discover that my memories of kindergarten were entirely negative. Since we moved in the spring of my kindergarten year, I have had two distinct memories, which were humiliating (丢脸的) and still make me angry. One day, in my first kindergarten we came to school in costume. I wore my cowgirl outfit with a blue fringed skirt and vest. As we were skipping in a circle, I yelled “giddy up!” and the teacher told me to be quiet. I still remember thinking it was unfair. How could I be a quiet cowgirl? I remember this was the first time that I was silenced in school, but certainly not the last. In later years, it wasn't necessarily a matter of not speaking, but of not saying the “wrong” thing. The “wrong” thing challenged the teacher or the popular thought — exactly what we wanted our students to do. On the first day at my new school, which was the day after we moved, the teacher had me stand up in front of the class and asked me to share my telephone number and address. I knew neither. I forgot every phone number I had ever had, but not KI7-5622. It has taken me years to be patient with “not knowing” — my own or others. They were such small incidents, but had such a large impact. I think they have made me a better teacher and coworker. 24. What did the smell of crayons mean to the author's students? A. It caused them negative feelings. B. It reminded them of happy days. C. It was a sign of good luck. D. It brought academic success. 25. What was the author's purpose of shouting “giddy up!”? A. To silence the other students. B. To let out her anger. C. To give the teacher a surprise. D. To act like a real cowgirl. 26. Why does the author still remember KI7-5622 today? A. It was her favorite number. B. It once made her feel ashamed. C. It was the teacher's phone number. D. It was the address of her new home. 27. How have the author's memories impacted her? A. She has realized the importance of knowledge. B. They have taught her to be patient with strangers. C. They have helped form her own teaching philosophy. D. She has avoided asking personal questions ever since. C Science has yet to discover a way to prevent volcanic eruptions, so the early warning signs of volcanic activity are key to keeping people safe. One of the earliest signs that a volcano is becoming active is the presence of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions (散发). However, because there is already plenty of carbon dioxide present in the air at any given moment, it makes it difficult for scientists to discover whether or not there has been a volcano-related increase in the atmosphere. Before now, those monitoring volcanoes would have to visit the volcanoes directly in order to measure the output of carbon dioxide. This method of detection is often dangerous, as volcanoes are awfully located in remote areas with difficult land shapes. But how can trees help indicate this increase in carbon dioxide in an easily observable manner? When a volcano begins to prepare for an eruption, the movement of magma (岩浆) through Earth's crust releases carbon dioxide and other gases. As these gases make their way to the surface, trees slurp up the carbon dioxide and their leaves become greener than before. Thankfully, these changes in tree leaves are easily visible from space. So, by using NASA satellite technology to monitor these observed changes, scientists can be alerted to incoming volcanic activity sooner than other methods like earthquake activity and changes on the ground. “Our research is a two-way interdisciplinary intersection between ecology and volcanology,” said Josh Fisher, climate scientist at Chapman University. “We're interested not only in tree responses to volcanic carbon dioxide as an early warning of eruption, but also in how much the trees are able to take up, as a window into the future of the Earth when all the Earth's trees are exposed to high levels of carbon dioxide.” This collaborative study is the first time changes in tree leaf color have been positively correlated to magma-generated carbon dioxide. The method isn't guaranteed to work every time, however, as factors such as climate and weather conditions determine whether the area surrounding a volcano is suitable for satellite monitoring. 28. What made it challenging for the scientists to monitor volcanoes earlier? A. The inaccessibility of volcanoes. B. The lack of a warning system. C. The insufficiency of carbon dioxide. D. The poison from volcano eruption. 29. What does the underlined part “slurp up” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Mix up. B. Keep off. C. Take in. D. Settle into. 30. What does Josh Fisher aim to find out through their research? A. The frequency of volcanic eruption. B. The tree species most resistant to high CO2. C. The way to combine ecology with volcanology. D. The condition of future Earth with high CO2. 31. What's stressed about the new method in the last paragraph? A. It's premature. B. It has limitations. C. It's complicated. D. It has high costs. D One of the most surprising facts about ants is that most species don't have leaders in any meaningful sense. You may ask, “But what about the queen?” Sure, queens exist, but their role is reproduction, not management. A queen doesn't direct workers, assign tasks, or make strategic decisions. Not only is there no leader barking orders, but workers don't issue commands to one another, either. Each ant operates based on local information and simple behavioral signals. Despite this, ant groups can perform tasks that seem well-coordinated by design. They find the shortest path to food. They adjust routes when obstacles appear. They allocate more workers to rich food sources and abandon poor ones. They even regulate traffic flow on busy trails to prevent overcrowding. Scientists refer to this as self-organization. Order emerges as a result of many small interactions, not from top-down control. The glue holding this system together is pheromones (信息素). Put broadly, pheromones are chemical substances that animals release to influence the behavior of others of the same species. Ants produce many different pheromones, each serving a specific purpose. Some signal alarm, others mark territory, and others indicate food sources. When an ant finds food, it often lays down a pheromone trail as it returns to the nest. But this trail isn't just a simple line that says: food here. It contains layered information. Other ants can “read” a trail's strength, freshness, and chemical makeup, allowing them to infer things like how many ants have used it, how recently, and whether it was laid after a successful find. Ants interpret these pheromone trails using highly sensitive antennae (触角) that allow them to detect extremely small amounts of these chemicals. By touching the ground with their antennae as they walk, ants continuously sample the chemical landscape around them — like reading Braille with one's fingertips. In the most simplistic terms, if a trail is worth following, the ants will lay down pheromones that say so; if it isn't, they won't. In this way, the ants essentially vote where to invest their labor. 32. How do ants behave in search of food? A. They each perform their assigned tasks. B. They interact with each other frequently. C. They obey the queen's commands strictly. D. They follow the decision of their leader. 33. What information can ants get from a pheromone trail? A. The existence of food. B. The number of their enemies. C. The harm of chemicals. D. The location of their nest. 34. Why does the author mention Braille in the fourth paragraph? A. To define a new concept. B. To draw an appropriate conclusion. C. To provide the background. D. To enhance clarity by comparing. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. Chemical properties of pheromones. B. Ants' food-seeking strategies. C. Ants' self-organization ability. D. Ant queens' leadership. 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。 On his 15th birthday, Wilson Bentley's mother gave him an old microscope. It was snowing that day, and the boy succeeded in getting a glimpse of a six-sided snowflake (雪花) with the device. 36 When he was 17, Bentley asked his parents to buy him a new, better microscope and a camera. Bentley then spent 2 years figuring out how to take a picture of a snowflake under a microscope. On January 15, 1885, he did it, creating the world's first photomicrograph. 37 Outdoors, he collected snowflakes on a wooden tray that was painted black. Once inside, while still wearing big gloves to keep his hands warm, he used a straw (吸管) to pick up the snowflake and place it on a microscope slide. Then being careful not to breathe on the flake, he quickly examined and photographed it. Taking photomicrographs was only half of a long process. In those days, glass plates (感光板) were used to take photographs. Bentley developed the plates in a dark room under some stairs and then carried the plates to a nearby stream to wash them. 38 Bentley shared his snowflakes with anyone interested. He sold prints of his photomicrographs for 5 cents each. He wrote articles for scientists and for magazines such as National Geographic. Occasionally, he felt discouraged that few people seemed to care about his work. 39 At age 65, he photographed his 5,000th snowflake. Slowly, people became interested. Reporters sometimes appeared at his door. People began to call him “the Snowflake Man” and “Professor Bentley.” 40 In 1920, Bentley was elected as one of the first members of the American Meteorological Society, which later awarded him its first research grant in 1924. A. Still, he never stopped. B. The process was difficult and cold. C. Sometimes he did this at night in the dark. D. Jewelry makers copied the snowflake designs. E. Sometimes he handled the snowflake with a feather. F. He dedicated himself to observing flakes of snow for 60 years. G. This was the beginning of a fascination that lasted the rest of his life. 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。 I started working with Apex Solutions shortly after graduation.

With his big brown eyes and boundless energy, he's the kind of kid who spots a bird's nest in a tree or a lost glove on the sidewalk. So, it wasn't surprising when, one sunny afternoon, he overheard our elderly neighbor, Mrs. Patterson, chatting with the mailman about her upcoming birthday. Mrs. Patterson, a quiet figure who tends her garden alone, lives a few houses down, rarely engaging with the neighborhood. But Leo's ears perked (竖起) up, and he turned to me with a sense of urgency. “Mom, we have to do something for Mrs. Patterson,” he said in excitement. I was a bit unsure. We'd never been close to Mrs. Patterson — she kept to herself, her curtains often drawn, and I wasn't certain if she'd welcome a surprise. But Leo wouldn't let it go. “Everyone deserves a birthday cake,” he insisted. How could I say no to that sweet logic? His big heart was set on making her day special, and I couldn't resist his infectious enthusiasm. So we dove into action — a homemade surprise with love. In our small kitchen, we made a chocolate cake —simple, a little lopsided from Leo's eager stirring (搅动), but packed with love. When it was baked, he grabbed his crayons and crafted a birthday card, drawing a bright sun and stick figures of the three of us — him, me, and Mrs. Patterson — holding hands under it. The smell of warm chocolate filled the air, and by late afternoon, with the cake cooled and the card signed, we were ready. Just before dinner, we marched over, Leo holding the plate cautiously, his face lit up with anticipation. We knocked on Mrs. Patterson's door, the sound echoing (回荡) in the quiet street. At first, there was silence — Leo moved his feet nervously, his smile turning into disappointment. 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。 I was about to suggest we leave when the door opened. _____________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ She opened the door wide and invited us to come in. ______________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
