D 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了2026年四个各具特色的艺术展览，它们都在通过创新的形式和材料，挑战传统艺术边界，探索现实与超现实、二维与三维之间的关系。 【21题详解】细节理解题。根据Kaleidoscope展览介绍中“Her “Tapestry” works use weaving logic, making abstract images with thread-like marks like cloth.(她的“挂毯”作品运用了编织的逻辑，用类似线的痕迹创作出像布一样的抽象图像)”可知，Sera Holland的艺术创作受到编织过程的影响。故选B。 【22题详解】细节理解题。根据All Fall Down”展览介绍中“Medium: Sculpture(媒介：雕塑)”可知，该展览以雕塑为特色。故选B。 【23题详解】推理判断题。根据文章开头“While artistic expression develops in countless forms, artists are still pushing boundaries.(虽然艺术表达以无数种形式发展，但艺术家们仍在不断突破界限)”以及四个展览的介绍，如将日常场景变为梦幻画作、将背景视为图像的积极部分、运用三维厚涂颜料、创作不稳定平衡的雕塑等，都体现了这些展览的创新性。故选D。 【B篇】24. A 25. D 26. A 27. B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了哈佛大学一门名为“Texts in Transition”的课程，学生们通过参观Weissman保护中心，亲身体验了古籍保护的过程，并了解了保护工作的重要性和复杂性。 【24题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“Students in “Texts in Transition,” a GenEd class taught by Professors Ann Blair and Leah Whittington, were visiting the Weissman Preservation Center to witness preservation firsthand. Their course explores how written works are passed down through time.(“Texts in Transition”是Ann Blair教授和Leah Whittington教授教授的一门通识教育课程，学生们正在参观Weissman保护中心，亲眼见证保护工作。他们的课程探索书面作品是如何随着时间的推移而传承下来的。)”可知，这门课程的目的是探索旧文本的生存。故选A。 【25题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“At the Weissman Preservation Center, students learn what happens behind the scenes when conservators step in to keep materials usable and preserve them for the future.(在Weissman保护中心，学生们了解到当保护者介入以保持材料可用并为其未来保存时，幕后发生了什么。)”可知，Weissman保护中心的特别之处在于它允许对保护过程进行彻底的了解。故选D。 26题详解】词句猜测题。根据第四段““Any treatment we apply must not harm the object and can be restored,” explained Eliza, Senior Paper Conservator. “We always respect the integrity of the materials and only make changes that can be reversed, which is important in our conservation standards”(“我们采用的任何处理方法都不能损害文物本身，并且可以复原，” 高级纸张修复师伊莱扎解释道，“我们始终尊重材料的完整性，只做可reversed的改动，这在我们的保护标准中至关重要。”)”可知，因为始终尊重材料的完整性，只进行可以改回的更改，所以“reversed”的意思是“改回”。故选A。 【27题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“One student, enthusiastic about her discoveries, set up her phone to photograph the scene. Turning to senior rare book conservator Jody Beenk, she declared, “I think I have found my career”.(一名学生对自己的发现充满热情，她拿起手机拍摄了这一幕。转向高级珍本书保护者Jody Beenk，她宣称：“我想我找到了我的职业”。)”可知，从最后一段可以推断出这门课程激发了职业兴趣。故选B。 【C篇】28. C 29. B 30.B 31. C 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者在喜马拉雅旅行后更看重经历而非纪念品。多数人仍爱买纪念品，但很多所谓当地特产是假货，伤害传统手工艺。建议购买时关注来源、用心选择，而非图方便。 【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“Over time, my desire for typical souvenirs has faded; I now value experiences over objects.(随着时间的推移，我对传统纪念品的渴望已经逐渐消退；如今我更看重的是经历而非物品)”可知，是作者对经历的追求改变了他对纪念品的看法。故选C。 【29题详解】主旨大意题。根据第二段“Souvenirs bring back happy memories, serving as a simple way to say, “I was there.” “At the heart of our actions is a desire to feel heard, seen and connected,” explains Madarkal, a professor in India.(纪念品能唤起美好的回忆，它是一种简单而直接的表达方式，意味着“我当时就在那里”。印度的一位教授马达卡尔解释道：“我们行为的根源在于渴望被倾听、被看见以及与他人建立联系。”)”可知，第二段主要讲的是对纪念品的心理需求。故选B。 【30题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“While buying fakes may seem to support local sellers, it often minimizes the profit of the traditional handicrafts, creating a negative cycle.(虽然购买仿制品看似是在支持当地的卖家，但实际上这往往会降低传统手工艺品的利润，从而形成一种恶性循环)”可知，这种负面循环会让传统手工艺品失去了市场。故选B。 【31题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Intentions also matter, as souvenirs should be chosen for personal meaning rather than habit. And souvenirs don’t always have to be objects — journals or skills gained can become lasting reminders.(动机也同样重要，因为选择纪念品应基于个人意义而非习惯。而且纪念品并不一定非得是实物——日记或所学到的技能也能成为长久的纪念物)”以及最后一段“But next time you’re grabbing a quick airport souvenir, pause and reflect.(但下次当你在机场匆忙购买一件纪念品时，请先停下来，好好思考一下)”可知，作者强调用心、意义、目的，而不是随便图方便买。故选C。 【D篇】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。新研究发现，土壤氮能让热带森林恢复速度翻倍。利兹大学通过长期实验证实氮的关键作用，不建议人工施肥，提倡自然固氮方式，以更好助力森林固碳、减缓气候变化。 【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“Scientists from the University of Leeds launched the largest and longest experiment ever designed to examine how nutrients shape forest regrowth in tropical areas cleared for agriculture.(来自利兹大学的科学家们启动了迄今为止规模最大、持续时间最长的一项实验，旨在研究在为农业而被开垦的热带地区，营养物质如何影响森林的重新生长)”可知，利兹实验旨在探究营养物质在森林恢复中的作用。故选B。 【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“The results showed that soil nutrients strongly influence tropical forest regrowth speed: nitrogen-rich forests recovered twice as fast as nitrogen-lacking ones in the first 10 recovery years, while phosphorus alone had no such effect.(研究结果表明，土壤中的养分对热带森林的恢复速度有着显著影响：在最初的10年恢复期内，富含氮的森林恢复速度是缺乏氮的森林的两倍，而仅含磷的土壤则没有这种影响)”可知，该实验发现氮元素能加快恢复速度。故选A。 【34题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“Although nitrogen fertilizer was used in the experiment, the researchers do not recommend fertilizing forests. Widespread fertilizer use could lead to harmful side effects including polluting rivers and lakes and making the soil too weak for trees to stay healthy. Instead, the team suggests practical alternatives. Forest managers could plant trees from the bean family, which naturally add nitrogen to the soil. Another option is restoring forests in areas that already have sufficient nitrogen due to the effects of air pollution.(尽管实验中使用了氮肥，但研究人员并不建议对森林进行施肥。过度使用化肥可能会产生不良后果，比如污染河流和湖泊，还会使土壤变得过于贫瘠，不利于树木的健康成长。因此，研究团队建议采用切实可行的替代方案。森林管理者可以种植豆科植物，因为这类植物能自然地向土壤中补充氮元素。另一种选择是在那些因空气污染而已有足够氮元素的地区恢复森林)”可知，我们应该寻求基于自然的解决方案。故选D。 【35题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“Newly published research finds that tropical forests can recover up to twice as fast after deforestation with sufficient soil nitrogen (氮). Scientists from the University of Leeds launched the largest and longest experiment ever designed to examine how nutrients shape forest regrowth in tropical areas cleared for agriculture.(最新发布的研究发现，在有足够的土壤氮的情况下，热带森林在遭到砍伐后能够以两倍的速度恢复。来自利兹大学的科学家们启动了迄今为止规模最大、持续时间最长的一项实验，旨在研究在为农业而被开垦的热带地区，营养物质如何影响森林的重新生长)”结合文章主要说明了新研究发现，土壤氮能让热带森林恢复速度翻倍。利兹大学通过长期实验证实氮的关键作用，不建议人工施肥，提倡自然固氮方式，以更好助力森林固碳、减缓气候变化。可知，D选项“氮元素：促进森林重新生长的秘诀”最符合文章标题。故选D。 【7选5】36.

She kept repeating her lines in a low voice and she even found herself trembling. She regretted having accepted the role, wishing in some way that she could escape. Then she heard someone telling her to get ready and the curtain in front of her was pulled. Miya heard applauds from the audience but she just found it impossible to open her mouth and move her legs. She stood there, unable to say a word. The three boys looked at her anxiously and there was silence among the audience. Miya was about to cry, when she saw John, who played one of the three boys, coming up to her. He bent over her, patted her on the back, saying, “Hi, buddy. We are hungry. Can you tell us where we can get some food?” Without realizing how she made it, Miya replied, “Would you like to come with me? Mom is making corn bread. It’s the most delicious in the world.” With great delight, the three boys accepted Miya’s invitation and followed her to the “farm”. The drama show was a great success. Miya was grateful to John for his clever response and she finally got an idea of what to write about for her composition. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026届香山中学高三英语高考模拟预测 第一部分 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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A While artistic expression develops in countless forms, artists are still pushing boundaries. The new year has brought a host of exciting and creative exhibitions, including — but not limited to — the following four: The Space Between Monty, Rome Artist: Gwen Evans Medium: Painting Introduction: The artist turns domestic scenes into dreamy paintings to create a familiar and strange feeling. She shows it by painting everyday activities with unexpected changes or mysterious figures. Figure in the Field Morgan Lehman Gallery, New York Type: Group Exhibition Introduction: “Figure in the Field” brings together nine artists who see background as an active part of the image. The exhibition shows how each of them negotiates the relationship between figure and field differently. Kaleidoscope THEFOURTH, Cape Town Artist: Sera Holland Medium: Mix-medium Painting Introduction: The artist applies thick paint layers, viewing paint as a material that can be built up in three dimensions. Her “Tapestry” works use weaving (编织) logic, making abstract images with thread-like marks like cloth. All Fall Down Francesco Pantaleone, Palermo, Italy Artists: Concetta Modica and Ignazio Mortellaro Medium: Sculpture Introduction: In “All Fall Down”, the works — placed on the floor or leaning against the walls — appear about to fall at any moment. Their placement presents a sense of unstable balance, creating a dangerous yet beautiful tension. Shared Themes: ◎Challenging insight — Pushing boundaries (real vs. surreal, 2D vs. 3D) ◎Reinterpreting materials and space through form and placement 21. What influences Sera Holland’s art creation? A. Ordinary family scenes. B. The process of weaving. C. South African cultural themes. D. Patterns of light and shadow. 22. Which exhibition features sculptures? A. The Space Between. B. All Fall Down. C. Figure in the Field. D. Kaleidoscope. 23. What can best describe the four exhibitions? A. Three-dimensional. B. Conventional. C. Interactive. D. Innovative. B Sent through the washing. Eaten by insects. Bitten by a dog. These are just some of the ways that books can be damaged, as seen on a recent afternoon at the Weissman Preservation Center. Students in “Texts in Transition,” a GenEd class taught by Professors Ann Blair and Leah Whittington, were visiting the Weissman Preservation Center to witness preservation firsthand. Their course explores how written works are passed down through time. Conservators play a vital role in this process. Their work — repairing torn manuscripts (手稿), reducing insect damage, and so on — ensures the survival of texts from the ancient to the present. At the Weissman Preservation Center, students learn what happens behind the scenes when conservators step in to keep materials usable and preserve them for the future. “Harvard Library not only has remarkable materials gathered over generations but also expert staff who allow students to experience these treasures up close and from new views,” said Blair, a professor in the History Department. As students handled the papers, ink and paints before them, they studied the evidence manuscripts offer researchers and the complexities of preservation. “What happens when the original material is no longer available?” one student asked. “Any treatment we apply must not harm the object and can be restored,” explained Eliza, Senior Paper Conservator. “We always respect the integrity of the materials and only make changes that can be reversed, which is important in our conservation standards.” The class concluded with a close-looking exercise. Using angle lights and pocket microscopes, students examined manuscripts on the table, amazed at iridescent (泛着虹彩的) inks of the pages. One student, enthusiastic about her discoveries, set up her phone to photograph the scene. Turning to senior rare book conservator Jody Beenk, she declared, “I think I have found my career.” 24. What is the “Texts in Transition” course intended to do? A. Explore the survival of old texts. B. Train paper conservators. C. Observe ancient books. D. Teach literary writing. 25. What is special about the Weissman Preservation Center? A. It mainly centers on repairable treasures. B. It relies on support from Harvard Library. C. It houses the largest ancient book collection. D. It allows a thorough look at the preservation process. 26. What does the underlined word “reversed” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Changed back. B. Recreated. C. Turned over. D. Polished. 27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. New techniques were used in repairs. B.The course inspired career interest. C. Texts were restored with special inks. D. Students improved photographic skills. C On a recent trip through the Himalayas, my bruises (淤伤) became the truest souvenirs. More personal than anything bought, they carry a unique memory. Over time, my desire for typical souvenirs has faded; I now value experiences over objects. But maybe that’s just me. Two out of three Americans bring back a souvenir from their travels, with US sales topping $21bn in 2022. Humans have long collected objects to remember experiences. With the rise of industrialization and tourism, souvenirs became more common. Souvenirs bring back happy memories, serving as a simple way to say, “I was there.” “At the heart of our actions is a desire to feel heard, seen and connected,” explains Madarkal, a professor in India. Travellers today are more aware of their impact on local community, but the problems caused by travel souvenirs are often overlooked. In a 2022 Australian report, up to 75% of souvenirs marketed as “local” are made overseas. Real goods are expensive due to time-consuming labour involved, so some shops sell cheap fakes (假货) with most customers giving little regard to their origins. While buying fakes may seem to support local sellers, it often minimizes the profit of the traditional handicrafts, creating a negative cycle. So, how can you buy meaningful souvenirs? “Be curious... it’s not just about buying or choosing carefully, it’s about rejecting and explaining why,” said Madarkal. Asking where an item comes from and how it is made is a good first step. Choosing unique designs over mass-produced goods at fair-trade markets helps support local communities. Intentions also matter, as souvenirs should be chosen for personal meaning rather than habit. And souvenirs don’t always have to be objects — journals or skills gained can become lasting reminders. Ultimately, there’s no universal rule for a “meaningful” souvenir. But next time you’re grabbing a quick airport souvenir, pause and reflect. 28. What changed the author’s view on souvenirs? A. A search for adventures. B. Fear of physical injuries. C. A desire for experiences. D. Changes in life stages. 29. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The increasing popularity of souvenirs. B. The psychological need for souvenirs. C. The importance of modern tourism. D. The memories tourism brings back. 30. What is the consequence of the negative cycle in paragraph 3? A. Tourism becomes more profitable. B. Traditional handicrafts lose the market. C. Local sellers gain long-term benefits. D. Souvenir design becomes standardized. 31. What does the author suggest about buying meaningful souvenirs? A. Picking timeless common designs. B. Following your own shopping habits. C. Choosing intention over convenience. D. Weighing possession over remembrance. D Newly published research finds that tropical forests can recover up to twice as fast after deforestation with sufficient soil nitrogen (氮). Scientists from the University of Leeds launched the largest and longest experiment ever designed to examine how nutrients shape forest regrowth in tropical areas cleared for agriculture. They selected 76 forest plots across Central America and monitored them for up to 20 years. Each site differed in age and size, allowing the team to track tree growth and death during forest recovery. Different nutrient treatments were applied to test nutrient roles. Some got nitrogen fertilizer, some phosphorus (磷), some both, and others none. This allowed direct comparison of forest responses to different soil conditions. The results showed that soil nutrients strongly influence tropical forest regrowth speed: nitrogen-rich forests recovered twice as fast as nitrogen-lacking ones in the first 10 recovery years, while phosphorus alone had no such effect. The findings were published on January 13 in the journal Nature Communications. Lead author Wenguang Tang said, “Our study is inspiring because it suggests there are ways we can boost the storage of greenhouse gases through reforestation by managing the nutrients available to trees.” Although nitrogen fertilizer was used in the experiment, the researchers do not recommend fertilizing forests. Widespread fertilizer use could lead to harmful side effects including polluting rivers and lakes and making the soil too weak for trees to stay healthy. Instead, the team suggests practical alternatives. Forest managers could plant trees from the bean family, which naturally add nitrogen to the soil. Another option is restoring forests in areas that already have sufficient nitrogen due to the effects of air pollution. Tropical forests slow climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide and storing it in trees. If young tropical forests worldwide lack nitrogen, they may fail to store about 0.69 billion tonnes of CO2 each year — roughly equal to two years of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas release in the U.K. 32. What is the Leeds experiment targeted at? A. Recovery speed of tropical forests. B. Role of nutrients in forest regrowth. C. Restoration of forests in cleared areas. D. Environmental impact of deforestation. 33. What did the experiment find about forest regrowth? A. Nitrogen boosts recovery speed. B. Combined nutrients work better. C. Tropical-forests recover naturally. D. Phosphorus aids regrowth indirectly. 34. What can be inferred from the researchers’ recommendation? A. CO2 release should be monitored. B. Bean family trees should be cut down. C. Nitrogen fertilizer should be used widely. D. We should turn to nature-based solutions. 35. What is the best title of the text? A. Nitrogen: Impact on Climate Change B. Tropical Forests: Global Carbon Sinks C. Tropical Forests: Growth with Phosphorus D.

At the end of each year, the students will be given a writing task about the person(s) he/she is most thankful to. Miya could remember she wrote about her parents, who loved her and took care of her in grade one and her teacher, who encouraged her to be brave to raise questions in grade two. This year, she was supposed to write about somebody else. But who? The composition would be due the next week, Miya racked her brains(绞尽脑汁) but still had no idea. Looking up from her empty composition paper, Miya noticed that the other students were collecting the books and getting ready to go home. She decided to give up thinking and get on her way back home. Who knows? Maybe a good idea might come to her mind the next day. Just at that time, John ran into the classroom and came up to Miya. John is head of the school drama club, in which Miya is a new member. “Miya, I would like you to play a role in the drama show.” said John. Miya agreed gladly. She loved drama and had always been dreaming of making her appearance on the stage. Then John introduced the drama to her. It was about the adventure of three boys to the wild west. Miya was supposed to play a small role, a farm girl who discovered the hungry boys, invited them to the farm and treated them with corn bread. She was to appear at the ending part of the drama and her lines were short and easy: Hi, buddies. You look weak. Would you like to come with me? Mom is making corn bread. It’s the most delicious in the world. Surely Miya wouldn’t have any problem remembering them. Everything went on well and the big day arrived three days later. The drama show attracted a large audience. The hall was crowded with exciting students and teachers. The three older boys went on stage and started their “adventure” to the wild west. 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。 As Miya waited behind the curtain for her turn to perform, nervousness started to grow insider her. ________________________________________________________________________________ Miya was about to cry, when she saw John, who played one of the three boys, coming up to her. ________________________________________________________________________________ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
