These strays often arrived in poor condition — starving or sick. When their mother tried to stop the parade of kittens, the girls hid them in their room until they recovered. “It was compulsive, almost,” Bhatt says. “My heart opened up very young.” This love of animals stayed with her into adulthood. Today, as one of India’s most recognizable actresses with nearly 90 million Instagram followers, she uses her reach to highlight animal welfare and environmental issues through films, children’s books, and campaigns. “I started to question if my voice had quality,” she says. “I decided to focus on something I’m passionate about — and that’s animals.” Bhatt’s tactics (策略) are creative and varied. Her 2021-founded production company, Eternal Sunshine, has a logo featuring two cats. She executive produced Poacher, a 2024 hit miniseries based on a real elephant poaching investigation in India. Eternal Sunshine also partners with an eco-film festival to encourage filmmakers to focus on the environment. “Stories have an amazing way to impact our minds,” Bhatt says. “Once you tell a story, it’s there forever.” Stories can profoundly impact children, and Bhatt is the author of The Adventures of Ed-a-Mamma, a children’s book series following a girl and her adopted dog on animal-helping adventures. Inspired by her daughter’s love for animals, she aims to foster children’s passion for wildlife. Bhatt also launched MiSu, a resale platform for pre-loved celebrity clothes, extending garment lifespans, cutting waste, and boosting India’s circular fashion. Bhatt doesn’t consider herself an environmental expert. Her partner Dorita D’ Souza notes she makes conservation accessible, driven by the deep empathy for animals she developed in childhood. 4. What drives Alia Bhatt to engage in animal and environmental protection? A. Fame seeking. B. Family pressure. C. Childhood passion. D. Expertise pursuit. 5. What is a practical measure taken by Alia Bhatt for public welfare? A. Keeping stray animals at home. B. Producing related films and books. C. Launching a new clothing brand. D. Reducing entertainment activities. 6. Which of the following can best describe Alia Bhatt according to the text? A. Cautious and ambitious. B. Humorous and diligent. C. Compassionate and committed. D. Generous and innovative. 7. What message does the passage mainly convey? A. Childhood experiences shape lifelong deeds. B. Small acts of kindness make a great difference. C. Media raises public awareness of welfare issues. D. Celebrities should bear more social responsibilities. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了印度知名女演员阿莉雅·布哈特从小与动物结缘，成年后利用自身影响力，通过制作环保主题影视作品、撰写儿童动物保护书籍、推出二手服装转售平台等多种方式，积极投身动物福利与环境保护事业的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“‘It was compulsive, almost,’ Bhatt says. ‘My heart opened up very young.’(“这几乎难以自禁，”布哈特说，“我的心很早就敞开了。”)”以及第二段中的“This love of animals stayed with her into adulthood.(这份对动物的热爱一直伴随她到成年。)”可知，童年时期对动物的热爱是她投身动物和环保事业的驱动力。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“She executive produced Poacher, a 2024 hit miniseries based on a real elephant poaching investigation in India.(她担任了2024年热门迷你剧《偷猎者》的执行制片人，该剧基于印度一起真实的大象偷猎调查事件改编。)”以及第四段中的“Bhatt is the author of The Adventures of Ed-a-Mamma, a children’s book series following a girl and her adopted dog on animal-helping adventures.(布哈特是《艾德妈妈历险记》系列儿童书籍的作者，该系列讲述了一个女孩和她收养的狗一起帮助动物的冒险故事。)”可知，制作相关的电影和撰写书籍是她采取的实际公益措施。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Alia Bhatt grew up in Mumbai surrounded by animals, largely because her sister Shaheen kept bringing home stray kittens. These strays often arrived in poor condition — starving or sick. When their mother tried to stop the parade of kittens, the girls hid them in their room until they recovered. “It was compulsive, almost,” Bhatt says. “My heart opened up very young.”(阿莉雅·布哈特在孟买长大，周围都是动物，这主要是因为她的妹妹莎欣一直带着流浪小猫回家。这些流浪猫来的时候往往身体状况不佳——饥饿或生病。当她们的母亲试图阻止小猫时，女孩们把它们藏在房间里，直到它们康复。“这几乎难以自禁，”布哈特说，“我的心很早就敞开了。”)”和第二段中的“she uses her reach to highlight animal welfare and environmental issues through films, children’s books, and campaigns.(她利用自己的影响力通过电影、儿童读物和活动来强调动物福利和环境问题。)”以及全文内容可知，她童年照顾流浪猫、成年后致力于动物福利和环保事业，由此可推测出，她富有同情心且坚定投入。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。文章开篇描述了布哈特童年时期救助流浪猫的经历，随后讲述了这份童年的热爱如何延续到成年，促使她利用自己的影响力通过电影、书籍和平台进行动物保护和环保活动，结尾“she makes conservation accessible, driven by the deep empathy for animals she developed in childhood.(她让保护变得触手可及，这是她在童年时期对动物产生的深切同情所驱动的。)”也提到她童年的共情心驱动了她的行动。整篇文章贯穿了童年经历对她成年后行为和事业选择的决定性影响。 C Imagine wandering through a dark forest for hours, then traveling all the way home — in a straight line. Bull ants do this every night, and scientists have long wondered how. It turns out they use a previously unknown type of Moon compass (指南针) — never seen before in the animal kingdom. To figure it out, Cody Freas, a behavioral ecologist, and his colleagues trapped bull ants the moment they left their nests. They allowed or denied the insects the chance to observe the Moon by grouping the individuals in a clear bottle or a black box. Then they brought them to an unfamiliar setting 200 meters away — an abandoned basketball court— to test which direction they traveled home. After comparing their separate paths, the team concluded the behavior of ants that could see moonlight was consistent with what’s called a time-compensated (时间补偿的 ) lunar compass. Essentially, the insects observe how quickly the Moon moves to estimate the relative position of their home and update that prediction with time. The dynamic speed of the Moon’s movement complicates this strategy. It rises slowly, speeds up when it’s at the highest point in the sky, and then slows down as it sets. Ants could be terribly misled if they don’t account for that, but the researchers discovered the insects have an inborn sense that the Moon’s speed shifts, and they compensate for it. The discovery makes bull ants the first known animals to navigate (导航) using this type of compass. Navigating with the Moon presents several advantages. Unlike stars, which other insects use to navigate, the Moon is not blocked by light pollution, and it can be bright enough to breakthrough clouds. Bull ants also have specialized eyes that allow them to see circular (环形的) patterns of polarized moonlight spreading across the sky, so they can sense the Moon’s position, even when it’s below the horizon. Freas says the study has given him a new appreciation of the Moon as a navigational aid. “The more time you spend under the Moon,” he says, “the more it seems like a much better helper than you originally think.” 8. Which aspect of the study does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The process. B. The purposes. C. The background. D. The findings. 9. What helps bull ants navigate correctly according to the text? A. Their familiarity with the path to home. B. Their tolerance for the Moon’s movement. C. Their independence from time compensation. D. Their adjustment to the Moon’s speed change. 10. What can be inferred from the last but one paragraph? A. Navigating with the Moon is reliable for the bull ants. B. Bull ants’ eyes are characterized by circular patterns. C. Light pollution affects bull ants’ sense of direction. D. Bull ants can see the Moon below the horizon. 11. What does Freas think of bull ants using Moon compass? A. It’s controversial. B. It’s challenging. C. It’s mysterious. D. It’s amazing. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了科学家发现公牛蚁利用月亮指南针导航的原理及优势。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“To figure it out, Cody Freas, a behavioral ecologist, and his colleagues trapped bull ants the moment they left their nests. They allowed or denied the insects the chance to observe the Moon by grouping the individuals in a clear bottle or a black box. Then they brought them to an unfamiliar setting 200 meters away — an abandoned basketball court — to test which direction they traveled home.(为了弄清楚这一点，行为生态学家科迪·弗雷斯和他的同事们在公牛蚁离开巢穴的那一刻就抓住了它们。他们通过将公牛蚁分别放在一个透明的瓶子里或一个黑盒子里，来允许或阻止它们观察月亮。然后，他们把它们带到一个200米外的不熟悉的环境——一个废弃的篮球场——来测试它们回家的方向。)”可知，本段主要介绍了研究的过程。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The dynamic speed of the Moon’s movement complicates this strategy. It rises slowly, speeds up when it’s at the highest point in the sky, and then slows down as it sets. Ants could be terribly misled if they don’t account for that, but the researchers discovered the insects have an inborn sense that the Moon’s speed shifts, and they compensate for it.(月亮运动的动态速度使这一策略复杂化。它上升缓慢，在天空最高点时加速，然后在下落时减速。如果蚂蚁不考虑这一点，它们可能会被严重误导，但研究人员发现，这些昆虫有一种天生的感觉，即月亮的速度会发生变化，它们会对此进行补偿。)”可知，公牛蚁会根据月亮速度的变化进行调整，从而帮助它们正确导航。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Navigating with the Moon presents several advantages. Unlike stars, which other insects use to navigate, the Moon is not blocked by light pollution, and it can be bright enough to breakthrough clouds. Bull ants also have specialized eyes that allow them to see circular (环形的) patterns of polarized moonlight spreading across the sky, so they can sense the Moon’s position, even when it’s below the horizon.(利用月亮导航有几个优点。与其他昆虫用来导航的星星不同，月亮不会被光污染所阻挡，而且它的亮度足以穿透云层。公牛蚁还有特殊的眼睛，可以看到极化的月光在天空中扩散的圆形图案，所以即使月亮在地平线以下，它们也能感知到月亮的位置。)”可知，利用月亮导航对公牛蚁来说是可靠的。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Freas says the study has given him a new appreciation of the Moon as a navigational aid. “The more time you spend under the Moon,” he says, “the more it seems like a much better helper than you originally think.”(弗雷斯说，这项研究让他对月亮作为导航辅助工具有了新的认识。他说：“你在月亮下待的时间越长，它就越像是一个比你最初想象的更好的帮手。”)”可知，弗雷斯认为公牛蚁使用月亮指南针是令人惊叹的。 D Books were stamped with “Human Authored” logos (标识) at this week’s London Book Fair. The Society of Authors described its labelling as “an important logo to protect and promote human creativity instead of AI labelled content in the marketplace.” Visitors to the fair were also given copies of Don’t Steal This Book, a collection of 10,000writers including Nobel winner Kazuo Ishiguro and Richard Osman, in which the pages are completely blank. The back cover states: “The UK government must not legalize book theft to benefit AI companies.” The empty book is a protest against AI companies using copyrighted works without permission or payment to train their models — and against UK government proposals that could legalize this practice. Organized by Ed Newton-Rex, a composer and copyright campaigner, the project has drawn vast support from the literary world. The AI industry is “built on stolen work” “This is a crime that has victims,” he added, “Generative AI competes with the creators of the works it trains on, taking away their livelihoods.” The protest comes just a week before the UK government is due to publish an economic impact assessment of proposed changes to copyright law. The government initially proposed a system, under which AI firms could use copyrighted material unless rights holders refused permission — an exact opposite of copyright law’s core principle. Only 3% of people surveyed backed the plan. The government dropped it but is now considering a “commercial research exception” that would still allow AI companies to use works without approval for commercial training. For the authors behind Don’t Steal This Book, the blank pages are a powerful symbol: they represent the future of writing if AI companies continue to use creative work without payment — a world where authors are left with nothing. As the Society of Authors put it, the empty book is “a stopgap measure” — but the real solution is a copyright system that protects human creativity, not commercial greed. 12. Why were the books stamped with “Human Authored” logos? A. To show public sympathy for authors. B. To fight AI’s stealing copyrighted works. C. To promote newly-published works. D. To introduce promising authors. 13. What does the underlined word “victims” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Ordinary readers. B. Literary promotion campaigns. C. Human writers. D. Generative AI models. 14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The protest weakening UK’s economy. B. Copyright law enjoying public support. C. AI firms prioritizing commercial profits. D. The UK government favoring AI companies. 15. How does the Society of Authors view the empty book? A. It is a band-aid fix B. It stands the test of time. C. It is a game changer. D. It works once and for all. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍伦敦书展推出人类原创标识与空白抗议书籍，反对AI未经授权盗用作品，以及英国政府相关版权政策的争议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The Society of Authors described its labelling as “an important logo to protect and promote human creativity instead of AI labelled content in the marketplace.”(英国作家协会将该标识描述为保护和弘扬人类创作力、抵制市场中AI标注内容的重要标识。)”可知，加盖“Human Authored”标识是为了抵制AI盗用受版权保护的作品。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The AI industry is “built on stolen work” “This is a crime that has victims,” he added, “Generative AI competes with the creators of the works it trains on, taking away their livelihoods.”(人工智能行业建立在被盗用的作品之上，这一行为存在受害者；生成式AI与被训练作品的创作者竞争，夺走了他们的生计。)”可知，AI盗用创作作品损害了人类作家的权益，因此，画线单词指代“人类作家”。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“The government initially proposed a system, under which AI firms could use copyrighted material unless rights holders refused permission — an exact opposite of copyright law’s core principle. (英国政府最初提出一项制度，除非版权所有者拒绝，否则AI公司可使用版权作品，这与版权法核心原则完全相悖。)”可知，第四段主要讲述英国政府出台相关政策倾向于偏袒AI公司。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“As the Society of Authors put it, the empty book is “a stopgap measure” — but the real solution is a copyright system that protects human creativity, not commercial greed.(英国作家协会表示，这本空白书籍只是一项临时补救措施，真正的解决办法是建立保护人类创作力而非商业贪欲的版权制度。)”可知，在协会看来这本空白书籍只是权宜之计、临时补救办法，与A选项权宜之计含义相符。 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。 There may be times when you may feel that enveloping your message in a generous coat of “nice” will make communication with others better. ____16____ Sugarcoating your words — whatever your reasons are — not only does not push meaningful relationships forward but may actually endanger otherwise healthy interactions. While, at best, sugarcoating can be an attempt at kindness, at worst, it could be viewed as a form of manipulation — trying to communicate in a way that controls the other person’s experience, instead of allowing them to have their own real reaction. ____17____ “For many, this pattern began in childhood,” says psychologist Carolyn Hextall. “Love may have felt conditional, and an unconscious decision was made that being pleasing, agreeable, or undemanding was the safest route to acceptance and connection.” ____18____ You might notice that you would rather validate others, stay quiet or soften your truth because you fear the consequence of voicing your own thoughts. Opposed to sugarcoating, saltcoating goes in the opposite direction. ____19____ But often, it crosses the line from being honest to being rude. People who use saltcoating often ignore others’ feelings, speaking their minds without any consideration, which easily leads to misunderstandings and conflicts. To avoid these, Carolyn suggests stopping using global, absolute statements such as “you always” or “you never”. ____20____ Instead, be specific in your feedback, and use “I” statements, which clearly communicate your experience without assigning any blame. For example, you might say: “When you said you’d meet me and then canceled, I felt upset and hurt.” This centers your emotional experience, and helps the other person understand the impact of their behavior. A. Yet in fact, the opposite is preferred. B. Often, sugarcoating is deeply rooted in people. C. It can be presented as being straight and direct. D. These tend to cause defensiveness very quickly. E. But a nice wrapper does not necessarily make a gift better. F. In adulthood, this early adaptation can continue to play out. G. These two approaches are two extremes that are better off avoided. 【答案】16. E 17. B 18. F 19. C 20. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了生活中两种极端的沟通方式 ——美化委婉的糖衣式表达与直白生硬的尖锐式表达，分析了糖衣式沟通的根源、弊端以及尖锐式沟通的问题，并给出了客观真诚、恰当表达的合理沟通建议。 【16题详解】 根据前文“There may be times when you may feel that enveloping your message in a generous coat of “nice” will make communication with others better.(有时候，你可能会觉得用大量客套温和的话语包装自己的想法，会让人际交往更加顺畅。)” 可知空前认为温和包装语言利于沟通；空后“Sugarcoating your words — whatever your reasons are — not only does not push meaningful relationships forward but may actually endanger otherwise healthy interactions.(粉饰委婉的言辞，无论出于何种缘由，不仅无法推动真挚的人际关系良性发展，反而还可能破坏原本健康正常的交往。)”指出过度美化话语反而不利于人际关系、甚至破坏正常交往；故推知：空处需要转折，表达华丽外表的包装并不能提升本质，选项E“But a nice wrapper does not necessarily make a gift better.(但是精美的包装并不一定会让礼物变得更好。)” 贴合上下文转折逻辑，衔接自然。 【17题详解】 根据后文“For many, this pattern began in childhood (对很多人来说，这种说话模式始于童年时期)” 可知下文开始追溯委婉美化式说话方式的起源；故推知：空处为本段总起句，引出糖衣式表达根深蒂固的特点，选项B“Often, sugarcoating is deeply rooted in people.(通常情况下，委婉粉饰的说话方式在人们心中根深蒂固。)” 统领本段内容。 【18题详解】 根据前文“Love may have felt conditional, and an unconscious decision was made that being pleasing, agreeable, or undemanding was the safest route to acceptance and connection.(人们曾觉得爱是有条件的，于是下意识认定：顺从讨好、不提要求，才是获得认可与维系关系最稳妥的方式。)” 可知前文讲述童年时期形成的处事思维；空后“You might notice that you would rather validate others, stay quiet or soften your truth because you fear the consequence of voicing your own thoughts.(你或许会发现，自己一味迎合他人、保持沉默或是委婉淡化真相，只因害怕说出内心真实想法后所要面对的后果。)”描写成年后的行为表现；故推知：空处衔接童年经历与成年后的行为延续，选项F“In adulthood, this early adaptation can continue to play out.(步入成年后，这种早年养成的处事习惯会持续显现。)” 符合语境。 【19题详解】 根据前文“Opposed to sugarcoating, saltcoating goes in the opposite direction.(与委婉粉饰的糖衣式表达相反，尖锐直白的沟通走向了另一个极端。)” 可知本段开始介绍另一种沟通方式；空后“But often, it crosses the line from being honest to being rude.(但很多时候，这会越过界限，从坦诚直白变成粗鲁无礼。)”说明这种方式容易失礼越界；故推知：空处应先解释尖锐式表达的外在特点，选项C“It can be presented as being straight and direct.(它通常表现为说话直白、不加修饰。)” 承接上文，引出下文弊端。 【20题详解】 根据前文“To avoid these, Carolyn suggests stopping using global, absolute statements such as “you always” or “you never”.(为避免这些问题，Carolyn建议不要再使用“你总是”、“你从不”这类笼统绝对的表述。)” 可知空前提及绝对化的错误用语；空后“Instead, be specific in your feedback, and use “I” statements, which clearly communicate your experience without assigning any blame.(相反，给出反馈时要具体，多用以“我”为主语的表达方式，既能清晰说出自身感受，又不会指责他人。)”提出改用具体表述与第一人称表达的正确做法；故推知：空处需说明绝对化用语的负面影响，选项D“These tend to cause defensiveness very quickly.(这类话语很容易瞬间引发对方的抵触心理。)” 逻辑通顺，前后呼应。 第三部分 语言应用（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。 It’s a very strange time to be a writer.

Does my writing contribute value to society?”可知，作者接连提出诸多自我质疑，内心积攒了许多担忧与困惑，对应本空的顾虑。 【28题详解】 考查介词短语。句意：我无法向亲人询问这些顾虑，因为他们总会不顾现实处境一味鼓励我。A. due to由于；B. regardless of不管；C. apart from除了；D. but for要不是。根据前文“The flood of AI “art” shows a proportion of society is willing to ________ writers more than ever before. 可知，现实中写作价值被社会低估，处境并不乐观；而家人的鼓励不会顾及这一现实现状。 【29题详解】 考查动词。句意：这些思绪重重压在我的心头，直到我近期阅读了西格丽德·努涅斯的《朋友》一书。A. mattered要紧；B. conflicted冲突；C. weighed重压；D. struck撞击。根据后文“until I recently read The Friend by Sigrid Nunez”可知，在阅读书籍获得启发之前，作者一直被各类消极疑惑的思绪困扰、内心倍感沉重。 【30题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：这本书有力地探讨了友谊，同时也深入探究了写作的价值。A. dives into深入探究；B. calls for呼吁；C. sets aside搁置；D. makes up编造。根据后文“they can’t ______ with those of farmers or construction workers”可知，书籍深入分析、探究写作独特的价值属性。 【31题详解】 考查动词。句意：正如书中所言，写作的价值无法与农民、建筑工人的价值相比较，后者为人们提供直接且有形的帮助。A. combine结合；B. interact互动；C. deal处理；D. compare比较。根据后文“which provide direct, tangible (有形的) aid to people.”可知，两种价值形式不同，无法放在一起衡量对比。 【32题详解】 考查形容词。句意：写作所具备的潜在价值是无形的。A. unpredictable不可预测的；B. invisible无形的；C. accessible可获取的；D. believable可信的。根据前文“which provide direct, tangible (有形的) aid to people.”可知，农民、建筑工人的价值是有形切实的，与之对比，写作的精神价值无法直观看见，属于无形价值。 【33题详解】 考查名词。句意：进行创造是人类的天性，无论创造的事物有形或是无形。A. attempt尝试；B. dream梦想；C. nature天性；D. pressure压力。根据后文“Creativity is what has ______ humans across our existence”可知，创造能力是人类与生俱来的本能与天性。 【34题详解】 考查动词。句意：创造力是人类在漫长发展进程中定义自身独特性的关键。A. liberated解放；B. challenged挑战；C. limited限制；D. defined定义。根据后文“It’s what drives an author to tell a story — something AI lacks”可知，独有的创造力是人类区别于人工智能、定义自我的核心特质。 【35题详解】 考查动词。句意：所以我会坚持写作，不论这条道路最终会将我带向何方。A. writing写作；B. reading阅读；C. waiting等待；D. trying尝试。根据前文“Creativity is what drives an author to tell a story — something AI lacks”可知，作者明白人类创作具有AI无法替代的独特价值，因此决定继续坚持创作。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Tiangong Kaiwu, a Chinese space mining project named after ____36____ 17th century Ming Dynasty Encyclopedia, focuses on mining water ice from resources in space. Water ice is ____37____ (freeze) H₂O found on moons, planets, comets, and asteroids. It is critical for space exploration. Once split into hydrogen and oxygen, it could transform the Moon ____38____ a refueling station for deep-space missions, potentially reducing costs by up to 90 percent. Actually, celestial (天体的) ____39____ (body) in space offer valuable riches far beyond water ice: asteroids provide precious metals and carbon, the Moon helium-3 for clean energy and building materials, ____40____ the Mars hundreds of minerals. ____41____ (mine) these space resources, Chinese scientists have engineered a six-legged robot which can adapt to the extreme gravitational conditions. Three of its legs ____42____ (fit) with wheels for smooth surfaces, the other three designed to be claw-like grippers (夹子) to ensure stability across diverse landscapes. The unusual design solves a longstanding ____43____ (engineer) challenge: the gravity on the Moon is ____44____ (incredible) weak, so a drill’s force would push a robot away rather than let it dig in. The grippers can lock onto rock with 600 newtons of force to fix this problem. Moreover, the robot runs on power directly harvested from lunar water ice, literally ____45____ (tap) local resources to sustain long-duration missions. With the plan rolled out in phases, China is unveiling “space +” ambitions to explore the whole solar system. 【答案】36. a 37. frozen 38. into 39. bodies 40. and 41. To mine 42. are fitted 43. engineering 44. incredibly 45. tapping 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了中国名为“天工开物”的太空采矿项目. 【36题详解】 考查冠词。句意：“天工开物”，一个以17世纪明代百科全书命名的中国太空采矿项目，专注于从太空资源中开采水冰。这里“17th century Ming Dynasty Encyclopedia”并非特指某一本特定已知的百科全书，而是泛指“一本17世纪明代的百科全书”，17th读音以辅音音素开头，根据不定冠词使用规则，辅音音素前用a，所以填a。 【37题详解】 考查形容词。句意：水冰是在卫星、行星、彗星和小行星上发现的冻结的H₂O。“frozen”是“freeze”的形容词形式，在这里作定语修饰名词“H₂O”，表示“冻结的”，说明水冰的状态。 【38题详解】 考查介词。句意：一旦分解成氢和氧，它可以把月球变成深空任务的加油站，有可能将成本降低90%。“transform...into...”是固定搭配，意思是“把……变成……”。 【39题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：实际上，太空中的天体提供的宝贵财富远不止水冰：小行星提供贵金属和碳，月球提供用于清洁能源和建筑材料的氦-3，火星提供数百种矿物质。“body”表示“天体”时是可数名词，结合语境，这里说的是太空中多种天体，所以要用复数形式bodies作主语。 【40题详解】 考查连词。句意：实际上，太空中的天体提供的宝贵财富远不止水冰：小行星提供贵金属和碳，月球提供用于清洁能源和建筑材料的氦-3，火星提供数百种矿物质。“asteroids provide...”“the Moon helium-3...”“the Mars hundreds of minerals”这几个部分都是在列举不同天体所提供的资源，它们之间是并列关系，所以用连词and连接。 【41题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：为了开采这些太空资源，中国科学家设计了一种六足机器人，它可以适应极端的重力条件。“have engineered”是句子的谓语动词，“________ (mine) these space resources”在句中作目的状语，表示设计机器人的目的是开采太空资源，动词不定式可表目的，所以用To mine，放在句首首字母大写。 【42题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：它的三条腿装有轮子，适用于平坦表面，另外三条腿设计成爪状夹子，以确保在不同地形上的稳定性。句子描述的是一般事实，用一般现在时。“Three of its legs”（它的三条腿）和“fit”（安装）之间是被动关系，即腿是被装上轮子的，一般现在时的被动语态结构是“am/is/are +过去分词”，主语是复数，所以be动词用are，fit的过去分词是fitted。 【43题详解】 考查形容词。句意：这种不同寻常的设计解决了一个长期存在的工程挑战：月球上的重力极其微弱，所以钻头的力量会把机器人推开，而不是让它钻进。这里需要一个形容词来修饰名词“challenge”，“engineering”作为形容词，意思是“工程的”，“engineering challenge”即“工程挑战”。 【44题详解】 考查副词。句意：这种不同寻常的设计解决了一个长期存在的工程挑战：月球上的重力极其微弱，所以钻头的力量会把机器人推开，而不是让它钻进。“incredibly”是“incredible”的副词形式，在这里修饰形容词“weak”，表示“极其微弱”，强调程度。 【45题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：此外，该机器人直接利用从月球水冰中获取的能量运行，实际上是利用当地资源维持长期任务。“runs”是句子的谓语动词，所以“tap”要用非谓语形式。“the robot”（机器人）和“tap”（利用）之间是主动关系，即机器人主动利用当地资源，所以用现在分词tapping作状语，表主动和伴随。 【点睛】 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 你班英语课开展“手工制作丰富生活(Handicrafting Enriches Life)”为主题的项目学习活动。请你写一篇发言稿，代表小组介绍你们的作品，内容包括： 1.作品描述； 2.创作缘由。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Hello, everyone! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Hello, everyone! I’m honored to present our group’s handicraft project — a Nezha kite crafted using traditional silk painting and bamboo techniques.

Each time these things happened, I was sick of the way most people hadn’t bothered to help. One of those times, I was on the side of the road for close to three hours with my big Jeep. I put signs in the windows, big signs that said NEED A JACK (千斤顶), and offered money. Nothing. Right as I was about to give up, a Mexican family in a small truck pulled over, and the father bounded out. He sized up the situation and called for his daughter, who spoke English. He conveyed through her that he had a jack but that it was too small for the Jeep, so we would need something to support it. Then he got a saw (锯子) from the truck and cut a section out of a big log on the side of the road. We rolled it over and put his jack on top, and we were in business. I started taking the wheel off, and then, if you can believe it, I broke his tire iron. No worries: He handed it to his wife, and she was gone in a flash down the road to buy a new tire iron. She was back in 15 minutes. We finished the job, and I was a very happy man. The two of us were dirty and sweaty. His wife prepared a pot of water for us to wash our hands. I tried to put a $20 bill in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so instead I went up to the truck and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could. I asked the little girl where they lived. Mexico, she said. They were in Oregon so Mommy and Daddy could work on a fruit farm for the next few weeks. Then they would go home. 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。 When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After they left, I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch. I told her I hadn’t had lunch because I’d been waiting here for help for nearly three hours. The girl said they didn’t have lunch either. She suggested to her parents that we have lunch together. Their truck happened to have some food and some things for the picnic. So we ate together in a vacant lot by the side of the road. During that time, I told about what had happened to me and how I felt. They shared interesting stories about their lives in Mexico and on fruit farms. After lunch, the girl’s mother put a paper bag of fruit in my jeep. I showed my gratitude again and we said goodbye to each other. After they left, I got into my jeep and opened the paper bag. There are some delicate fruits in the paper bag. I was surprised to find the money I had quietly left them. At the same time, there was a note written by a girl, which read “We are very happy to be able to help you. We have encountered many difficulties and been disappointed. But we met a lot of helpful people, which made us feel very warm. To help others with one’s own ability is also a kind of lifting a finger. The beauty of life comes from these lifting a finger. I hope you have a good life and a happy mood.” This made me very moved, and I would try my best to help more people in the future to make our world more beautiful and warmer. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了去年作者汽车出现了三次故障，大多数人都懒得帮忙，作者对此感到很厌烦。有一次，他的汽车又出故障了。他在路边求助了接近3个小时，但是没有人停下来帮忙。就在打算放弃的时候，一个过路的墨西哥家庭停下来，提供了帮助。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在我要说再见的时候，女孩问我是否吃过午饭了。”可知，第一段可描写作者和墨西哥家庭一块儿吃午饭的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“在他们离开后，我上了吉普车，打开纸袋。”可知，第二段可描写作者在这一家人离开后，在纸袋里发现什么，以及自己的感受。2.续写线索：吃午餐——交流——感谢——上车——发现东西——感悟 3.词汇激活行为类 ①吃午餐：have lunch/It's time for lunch/eat lunch ②交流：communicate/talk/chat ③回家：go home/return home/be home/come back home/get home ④发现：find/discover/find out/spot 情绪类 ①感谢：showing one’s appreciation/show one’s gratitude/be grateful ②积极：positive attitude/act positively 【点睛】[高分句型1] I told her I hadn’t had lunch because I’d been waiting here for help for nearly three hours.(由because引导的原因状语从句) [高分句型2].But we met a lot of helpful people, which made us feel very warm.(由关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句) [高分句型3] To help others with one’s own ability is also a kind of lifting a finger.(不定式做主语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 广州七中2026届高三三测英语试题 2026.5.18 本试卷共8页，满分120分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号、试室号、座位号填写在答题卡上，并用2B铅笔填涂答题卡上的相应位置。因不考听力，试卷从第二部分的“阅读理解”开始，试题序号从“21”开始。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。 3．回答非选择题时，必须用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡指定区域的相应位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新答案；不准使用铅笔、圆珠笔或涂改液。写在本试卷上无效。 4．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A UNICEF is the world leader in delivering vital supplies to children.

These strays often arrived in poor condition — starving or sick. When their mother tried to stop the parade of kittens, the girls hid them in their room until they recovered. “It was compulsive, almost,” Bhatt says. “My heart opened up very young.” This love of animals stayed with her into adulthood. Today, as one of India’s most recognizable actresses with nearly 90 million Instagram followers, she uses her reach to highlight animal welfare and environmental issues through films, children’s books, and campaigns. “I started to question if my voice had quality,” she says. “I decided to focus on something I’m passionate about — and that’s animals.” Bhatt’s tactics (策略) are creative and varied. Her 2021-founded production company, Eternal Sunshine, has a logo featuring two cats. She executive produced Poacher, a 2024 hit miniseries based on a real elephant poaching investigation in India. Eternal Sunshine also partners with an eco-film festival to encourage filmmakers to focus on the environment. “Stories have an amazing way to impact our minds,” Bhatt says. “Once you tell a story, it’s there forever.” Stories can profoundly impact children, and Bhatt is the author of The Adventures of Ed-a-Mamma, a children’s book series following a girl and her adopted dog on animal-helping adventures. Inspired by her daughter’s love for animals, she aims to foster children’s passion for wildlife. Bhatt also launched MiSu, a resale platform for pre-loved celebrity clothes, extending garment lifespans, cutting waste, and boosting India’s circular fashion. Bhatt doesn’t consider herself an environmental expert. Her partner Dorita D’ Souza notes she makes conservation accessible, driven by the deep empathy for animals she developed in childhood. 4. What drives Alia Bhatt to engage in animal and environmental protection? A. Fame seeking. B. Family pressure. C. Childhood passion. D. Expertise pursuit. 5. What is a practical measure taken by Alia Bhatt for public welfare? A. Keeping stray animals at home. B. Producing related films and books. C. Launching a new clothing brand. D. Reducing entertainment activities. 6. Which of the following can best describe Alia Bhatt according to the text? A. Cautious and ambitious. B. Humorous and diligent. C. Compassionate and committed. D. Generous and innovative. 7. What message does the passage mainly convey? A. Childhood experiences shape lifelong deeds. B. Small acts of kindness make a great difference. C. Media raises public awareness of welfare issues. D. Celebrities should bear more social responsibilities. C Imagine wandering through a dark forest for hours, then traveling all the way home — in a straight line. Bull ants do this every night, and scientists have long wondered how. It turns out they use a previously unknown type of Moon compass (指南针) — never seen before in the animal kingdom. To figure it out, Cody Freas, a behavioral ecologist, and his colleagues trapped bull ants the moment they left their nests. They allowed or denied the insects the chance to observe the Moon by grouping the individuals in a clear bottle or a black box. Then they brought them to an unfamiliar setting 200 meters away — an abandoned basketball court— to test which direction they traveled home. After comparing their separate paths, the team concluded the behavior of ants that could see moonlight was consistent with what’s called a time-compensated (时间补偿的 ) lunar compass. Essentially, the insects observe how quickly the Moon moves to estimate the relative position of their home and update that prediction with time. The dynamic speed of the Moon’s movement complicates this strategy. It rises slowly, speeds up when it’s at the highest point in the sky, and then slows down as it sets. Ants could be terribly misled if they don’t account for that, but the researchers discovered the insects have an inborn sense that the Moon’s speed shifts, and they compensate for it. The discovery makes bull ants the first known animals to navigate (导航) using this type of compass. Navigating with the Moon presents several advantages. Unlike stars, which other insects use to navigate, the Moon is not blocked by light pollution, and it can be bright enough to breakthrough clouds. Bull ants also have specialized eyes that allow them to see circular (环形的) patterns of polarized moonlight spreading across the sky, so they can sense the Moon’s position, even when it’s below the horizon. Freas says the study has given him a new appreciation of the Moon as a navigational aid. “The more time you spend under the Moon,” he says, “the more it seems like a much better helper than you originally think.” 8. Which aspect of the study does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The process. B. The purposes. C. The background. D. The findings. 9. What helps bull ants navigate correctly according to the text? A. Their familiarity with the path to home. B. Their tolerance for the Moon’s movement. C. Their independence from time compensation. D. Their adjustment to the Moon’s speed change. 10. What can be inferred from the last but one paragraph? A. Navigating with the Moon is reliable for the bull ants. B. Bull ants’ eyes are characterized by circular patterns. C. Light pollution affects bull ants’ sense of direction. D. Bull ants can see the Moon below the horizon. 11. What does Freas think of bull ants using Moon compass? A. It’s controversial. B. It’s challenging. C. It’s mysterious. D. It’s amazing. D Books were stamped with “Human Authored” logos (标识) at this week’s London Book Fair. The Society of Authors described its labelling as “an important logo to protect and promote human creativity instead of AI labelled content in the marketplace.” Visitors to the fair were also given copies of Don’t Steal This Book, a collection of 10,000writers including Nobel winner Kazuo Ishiguro and Richard Osman, in which the pages are completely blank. The back cover states: “The UK government must not legalize book theft to benefit AI companies.” The empty book is a protest against AI companies using copyrighted works without permission or payment to train their models — and against UK government proposals that could legalize this practice. Organized by Ed Newton-Rex, a composer and copyright campaigner, the project has drawn vast support from the literary world. The AI industry is “built on stolen work” “This is a crime that has victims,” he added, “Generative AI competes with the creators of the works it trains on, taking away their livelihoods.” The protest comes just a week before the UK government is due to publish an economic impact assessment of proposed changes to copyright law. The government initially proposed a system, under which AI firms could use copyrighted material unless rights holders refused permission — an exact opposite of copyright law’s core principle. Only 3% of people surveyed backed the plan. The government dropped it but is now considering a “commercial research exception” that would still allow AI companies to use works without approval for commercial training. For the authors behind Don’t Steal This Book, the blank pages are a powerful symbol: they represent the future of writing if AI companies continue to use creative work without payment — a world where authors are left with nothing. As the Society of Authors put it, the empty book is “a stopgap measure” — but the real solution is a copyright system that protects human creativity, not commercial greed. 12. Why were the books stamped with “Human Authored” logos? A. To show public sympathy for authors. B. To fight AI’s stealing copyrighted works. C. To promote newly-published works. D. To introduce promising authors. 13. What does the underlined word “victims” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Ordinary readers. B. Literary promotion campaigns. C. Human writers. D. Generative AI models. 14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The protest weakening UK’s economy. B. Copyright law enjoying public support. C. AI firms prioritizing commercial profits. D. The UK government favoring AI companies. 15. How does the Society of Authors view the empty book? A. It is a band-aid fix B. It stands the test of time. C. It is a game changer. D. It works once and for all. 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。 There may be times when you may feel that enveloping your message in a generous coat of “nice” will make communication with others better. ____16____ Sugarcoating your words — whatever your reasons are — not only does not push meaningful relationships forward but may actually endanger otherwise healthy interactions. While, at best, sugarcoating can be an attempt at kindness, at worst, it could be viewed as a form of manipulation — trying to communicate in a way that controls the other person’s experience, instead of allowing them to have their own real reaction. ____17____ “For many, this pattern began in childhood,” says psychologist Carolyn Hextall. “Love may have felt conditional, and an unconscious decision was made that being pleasing, agreeable, or undemanding was the safest route to acceptance and connection.” ____18____ You might notice that you would rather validate others, stay quiet or soften your truth because you fear the consequence of voicing your own thoughts. Opposed to sugarcoating, saltcoating goes in the opposite direction. ____19____ But often, it crosses the line from being honest to being rude. People who use saltcoating often ignore others’ feelings, speaking their minds without any consideration, which easily leads to misunderstandings and conflicts. To avoid these, Carolyn suggests stopping using global, absolute statements such as “you always” or “you never”. ____20____ Instead, be specific in your feedback, and use “I” statements, which clearly communicate your experience without assigning any blame. For example, you might say: “When you said you’d meet me and then canceled, I felt upset and hurt.” This centers your emotional experience, and helps the other person understand the impact of their behavior. A. Yet in fact, the opposite is preferred. B. Often, sugarcoating is deeply rooted in people. C. It can be presented as being straight and direct. D. These tend to cause defensiveness very quickly. E. But a nice wrapper does not necessarily make a gift better. F. In adulthood, this early adaptation can continue to play out. G. These two approaches are two extremes that are better off avoided. 第三部分 语言应用（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。 It’s a very strange time to be a writer.

Each time these things happened, I was sick of the way most people hadn’t bothered to help. One of those times, I was on the side of the road for close to three hours with my big Jeep. I put signs in the windows, big signs that said NEED A JACK (千斤顶), and offered money. Nothing. Right as I was about to give up, a Mexican family in a small truck pulled over, and the father bounded out. He sized up the situation and called for his daughter, who spoke English. He conveyed through her that he had a jack but that it was too small for the Jeep, so we would need something to support it. Then he got a saw (锯子) from the truck and cut a section out of a big log on the side of the road. We rolled it over and put his jack on top, and we were in business. I started taking the wheel off, and then, if you can believe it, I broke his tire iron. No worries: He handed it to his wife, and she was gone in a flash down the road to buy a new tire iron. She was back in 15 minutes. We finished the job, and I was a very happy man. The two of us were dirty and sweaty. His wife prepared a pot of water for us to wash our hands. I tried to put a $20 bill in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so instead I went up to the truck and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could. I asked the little girl where they lived. Mexico, she said. They were in Oregon so Mommy and Daddy could work on a fruit farm for the next few weeks. Then they would go home. 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。 When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After they left, I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
