The meat on our plates comes at a significant environmental cost. Meat industry accounts for about 15% of greenhouse gas emissions in the world, both directly and indirectly. That’s a big reason why there’s such a buzz today around a newcomer to supermarket shelves: plant-based meats. These products look and taste like real meat but contain no animal ingredients, promising to match the flavor and texture of real ground meat while reducing environmental impact. But are they truly “green”? Plant-based meats are highly processed. Proteins, fats, thickeners and flavorings are combined to make foods that resemble burgers, hot dogs and other meat products. However, every step of production consumes energy, which raises the question: With all the processing, are these meat alternatives really greener than what they seek to replace? To answer this, environmental scientists use life cycle analysis, a method that involves taking each ingredient in the final product and tracing it back to its origin, recording all the environmental costs involved. They found the average greenhouse gas footprint from plant-based meats was just 7% of beef for the same amount of protein. The plant-based products were also more climate- friendly than pork or chicken — although less strikingly so, with greenhouse gas emissions just 57% and 37% of those for the actual meats respectively. 1. Which food protein has the lowest greenhouse gas footprint per 100 g? A. Beef. B. Pork. C. Plant-based meat. D. Tofu. 2. Why might plant-based meats not be fully “green”? A. They contain animal fats. B. They are energy-consuming. C. They are difficult to produce. D. They have too many ingredients. 3. Why do scientists use life cycle analysis for plant-based meats? A. To measure taste. B. To test protein content. C. To track environmental costs. D. To calculate production costs. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍植物肉的出现背景，探讨其生产过程并通过数据分析其环保程度。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据柱状图可知，beef的数值是88左右，pork的数值是10左右，plant-based meat的数值是6左右，tofu的数值在5以下，因此每100克食物蛋白质的温室气体排放量最低的是tofu。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“However, every step of production consumes energy, which raises the question: With all the processing, are these meat alternatives really greener than what they seek to replace?(然而，生产的每一个步骤都会消耗能源，这就引出了一个问题：经过这么多加工，这些肉类替代品真的比它们所要替代的肉类更环保吗?)”可知，植物肉无法完全环保的原因是其生产过程耗能。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“To answer this, environmental scientists use life cycle analysis, a method that involves taking each ingredient in the final product and tracing it back to its origin, recording all the environmental costs involved.(为解答这一问题，环境科学家使用生命周期分析，该方法包含追溯成品中每种原料的来源，记录所有相关的环境成本)”可知，科学家使用该方法是为了追踪环境成本。 B In my grandparents’ era, the question of whether to repair or replace an item was irrelevant. Repair was usually the only option. So when faced with a broken hoe (锄头) one summer, I let my brain do a little time-traveling and decided to make the repair, just like grandpa would have done. I dug through my old toolbox for the needed parts, sorting through a mix of nails, screws, and bolts. I have a strong love for the past and cherish the bonds connecting present and past generations. Finally, I chose my favorite hammer passed down from my dad, who received it from his dad. Grandpa’s hammer has a worn, ash handle, the grain smooth from 70 years of use and spotted with colorful paint. Grandpa used his hammer to make things — a kitchen table, a rocking chair and a doll house. Grandpa said it took two things to make dreams come true — faith and a hammer. My grandpa was quiet and reserved. but never humourless. Small, silly things would amuse him. He had his favorite expressions. He liked saying “It’s immaterial to me” even when “I don’t mind” would have been enough. Deep down, I think he was probably disappointed that he hadn’t achieved more in life. He left school without qualifications and became a carpenter — a job he wasn’t passionate about. He was never particularly ambitious, though there was a moment when he and my grandma planned to move to Canada, an idea that never came to fruition. Where he came into his own was around the house. He had an ‌“eye for the job”. Whether it was building a bookshelf or fixing a cupboard — what he could achieve was astonishing. Repairing the hoe meant digging through Grandpa’s dusty hardware. With just the right bolt in hand, I was ready to begin. As I finished the hoe repair and replaced the hammer, I said a hearty thanks to grandpa. I’m determined to pass it to the next generation — mentoring with purpose and weaving together the connecting cords. 4. Why did the author choose to repair the hoe? A. Repair was usually the only option. B. He wanted to carry on the family tradition. C. He wanted to test if the hammer still worked. D. The toolbox had the parts needed for the repair. 5. What is the writer’s attitude to his grandpa in paragraph 3? A. He sympathized with his grandpa’s behavior. B. He regretted his grandpa had not achieved more. C. He was annoyed by his grandpa’s choice of words. D. He was grateful his grandpa never moved to Canada. 6. What does the underlined phrase “came into his own” in paragraph 3 mean? A. He was able to show his real talents. B. He was able to do things on his own. C. He was able to forget his past failures. D. He was able to continue his regular job. 7. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To argue the value of old objects. B. To show how to repair old tools. C. To reflect on personal experiences. D. To share imagined family histories. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】文章通过修理锄头、回忆祖父的锤子和人生，表达对家族传统的珍视及对祖父的理解与感恩。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中‌“So when faced with a broken hoe (锄头) one summer, I let my brain do a little time-traveling and decided to make the repair, just like grandpa would have done. (所以当一个夏天面对一把坏锄头时，我让大脑进行了一次时光旅行，决定像爷爷那样去修理它)”和第二段中‌“I have a strong love for the past and cherish the bonds connecting present and past generations. (我深爱过去，珍惜连接现在和过去几代人的纽带)”可知，作者选择修理锄头是为了传承家族传统，像祖父一样生活。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中‌“Deep down, I think he was probably disappointed that he hadn’t achieved more in life. He left school without qualifications and became a carpenter — a job he wasn’t passionate about. (在内心深处，我认为他可能对自己一生没有取得更多成就感到失望。他没有取得任何学历就离开了学校，成了一名木匠——一份他并不热爱的工作)”可知，作者对祖父未能实现更多抱有理解和同情，而非责备或遗憾。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中‌“Where he came into his own was around the house. He had an “eye for the job”. Whether it was building a bookshelf or fixing a cupboard — what he could achieve was astonishing. (他came into his own的地方是在家里。他有“干活的眼光”。无论是做书架还是修橱柜——他能做到的事令人惊叹)”可知，祖父在家里的修理和建造方面能够真正展现自己的才华，故came into his own意为‌“发挥出自己真正的才能”，与A项同义。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，作者以修理锄头为线索，回忆祖父的锤子、祖父的人生选择和手艺，最后表达‌“I’m determined to pass it to the next generation (我决心把它传给下一代)”。作者通过修理锄头这件小事，回忆了祖父的人生、性格和才能，并表达了对祖父的感激以及将传统传承下去的决心。由此可推知，这篇文章是对个人经历的反思。 C To really succeed in life, have you ever considered getting a nemesis (假想敌)? I totally recommend it. Willpower fades. Apps rarely change behavior. You need the kind of fuel that’s born from pure jealousy or from the fire of anger. It’s a feeling that boils down to: That guy? Such emotion can provide lasting motivation. You do not need to express anger openly or confront anyone directly. Honestly, it’s probably better if you don’t tell anyone at all. Many successful people use this emotion as a source of motivation and have made remarkable achievements. Michael Jordan provides a famous example. Here’s a list of things he was offended by: A rival coach not saying hi to him while out to dinner; A rival saying, “You are, lucky, Mike.” These minor slights fueled his determination and pushed him to do better on the basketball court. Creating an enemy and looking for signs of disrespect from opponents help him achieve great things. Research supports this. A study from the Wharton School shows that underdogs often perform better because they want to prove others wrong. It feels satisfying to prove wrong the people who doubt you. In this sense, such feelings can become powerful forces behind achievement. A nemesis does not need to be a famous people or a direct competitor. It can be anyone whose achievements you secretly envy, whose hard work or talents push you to do better, or whose actions challenge you to step up your own game. The key is to turn this emotion into action: you transform feelings of envy into productive energy and push yourself toward greater accomplishments. Even partners, friends or colleagues can sometimes temporarily serve as motivators in certain situations. Ultimately, the power of a nemesis lies in using emotion strategically. People often fear they can’t succeed — so they hesitate to try… until they get mad enough. This emotion — whether real or imagined — can carry you further and help individuals achieve more than they thought possible, especially when training and talent reach their limits. 8. What’s the main idea of paragraph 1? A. A nemesis can be a powerful motivator. B. Willpower alone can guarantee success. C. Apps are ineffective for achieving success. D. Everyone should create a nemesis to succeed. 9. Why is Michael Jordan mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To show he often has conflicts with others. B. To prove talent is more important than emotion. C. To illustrate how minor offenses drive performance. D. To explain why athletes often need strong opponents. 10. Who can be considered as a nemesis? A. Only well-known figures or direct rivals. B. Anyone whose achievements motivate you. C. People who openly challenge you every day. D. Someone who frequently causes arguments. 11. How does the author view the power of nemesis? A. It can replace talent and hard work. B. It is an unreliable source of motivation. C. It is an imaginary concept with little effect. D. It can be a strategic tool for personal growth. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍树立人生假想敌的积极作用，说明其能转化情绪为动力，助力个人突破自我、收获成功。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“To really succeed in life, have you ever considered getting a nemesis (假想敌)? I totally recommend it. Willpower fades. Apps rarely change behavior. You need the kind of fuel that’s born from pure jealousy or from the fire of anger.(想要在人生中真正取得成功，你是否考虑过拥有一个假想敌？我完全推荐这样做。意志力会消退。应用软件几乎无法改变行为。你需要一股动力，它源自纯粹的好胜心，或是满腔斗志)”可知，第一段主要说明假想敌可以成为强大的动力源泉。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“These minor slights fueled his determination and pushed him to do better on the basketball court. Creating an enemy and looking for signs of disrespect from opponents help him achieve great things.(这些细微的轻视激发了他的决心，促使他在球场上做得更好。树立对手、捕捉对手轻视自己的信号帮助他成就伟业)”可知，作者列举迈克尔·乔丹的例子，是为了说明微小的冒犯和轻视能够激励人提升自我、优化表现。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“A nemesis does not need to be a famous people or a direct competitor. It can be anyone whose achievements you secretly envy, whose hard work or talents push you to do better, or whose actions challenge you to step up your own game.(假想对手不必是名人，也无需是直接竞争对手。任何人都可以成为你的假想敌：那些暗自让你心生向往的佼佼者，那些凭借努力与天赋激励你不断进步的人，或是那些行事作风促使你全力以赴、提升自我的人)”可知，任何成就可以激励你的人，都可以成为你的假想敌。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ultimately, the power of a nemesis lies in using emotion strategically. ...This emotion — whether real or imagined — can carry you further and help individuals achieve more than they thought possible, especially when training and talent reach their limits.(归根结底，假想敌的力量在于策略性地利用情绪。……这种情绪，无论真实的还是想象的，都能催人奋进，帮助人们突破自我、取得超乎预想的成就，尤其当训练与天赋都抵达瓶颈之时)”可知，作者认为假想敌是助力个人成长的策略性工具。 D In January 2024, near Dominica, I encountered a sperm whale named Pinchy. As she sank into the deep, I realized that despite our shared mammalian need for air, we lived in entirely separate worlds. As a scientist studying whale communication, I wondered what whales might tell me if I could understand what she was saying? My research has learned that sperm whales have a remarkably sophisticated communication system — one that may even resemble a form of language. This discovery has been made possible thanks to the use of technology itself, especially artificial intelligence. This might seem contradictory. In our technology-driven civilization, doesn’t technology often make us more distant from the natural world? Yet what I’ve come to know is that technology and nature do not exist in a zero-sum relationship, where the rise of one side is the downfall of the other. Instead, these tools can give humans an opportunity to feel more connected to nature. This view took years to fully form. In recent work, when AI technologies began to predict words and form sentences on their own, my colleagues and I work with computer scientists to test if these models could analyze sperm whale codas (嗒嗒声). In a pilot study, AI successfully identified different coda types, whale family groups and even individual whales with over 90% accuracy. This gave rise to Project CETI, an initiative where 50 biologists, AI experts and linguists work together to decode whale communication. Our latest study shows that sperm whales produce sounds similar to human vowels. Later this year, we will release an AI system that can translate human audio into whale-like sounds — allowing humans, for the first time, to potentially experience what it might be like to interact with a whale in its own language. The potential is profound. Truly understanding whale ‌“language” would not only rewrite biology textbooks, but also fundamentally challenge our human-centered worldview. Just as Copernicus showed that Earth was not the center of the universe, we hope our work could mark a similar shift — a recognition that we are not the only beings with rich internal and communal lives. To me, this is the real potential promise of AI: not to make us faster or more efficient, but to make us wiser. 12. What can be inferred from the author’s discussion of technology and nature? A. As technology rises, nature falls． B. Technology separates humans from nature． C. Technology and nature are mutually beneficial． D. Technology leads to the destruction of nature． 13. What is the primary goal of Project CETI? A. To classify different whale species． B. To use AI to understand whale communication． C. To study the behavior of whales in the wild． D. To train whale to communicate with humans． 14. Why does the author mention Copernicus in paragraph 6? A. To highlight a cognitive shift through comparison． B. To criticize traditional views of human centrality． C. To show the project is as complex as astronomy． D. To stress the importance of scientific discoveries． 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. AI: A Double-edged Sword in Modern Science B. Whale Communication: The Discovery of “Vowels” C. Sperm Whales: The Intelligent Creatures in the Ocean D. Talking to Whales: AI Bridges the Gap Between Species 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了科学家利用人工智能技术研究和解码抹香鲸的交流系统，以促进人与鲸鱼之间的跨物种沟通。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Yet what I’ve come to know is that technology and nature do not exist in a zero-sum relationship, where the rise of one side is the downfall of the other. Instead, these tools can give humans an opportunity to feel more connected to nature. (然而，我逐渐认识到，技术与自然并非此消彼长的零和关系。相反，这些工具可以让人类有机会感受到与自然更紧密的联系)”可知，技术可以帮助人类与自然建立更深的联系，二者互益。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“This gave rise to Project CETI, an initiative where 50 biologists, AI experts and linguists work together to decode whale communication. (这促成了CETI项目，这是一个由50名生物学家、人工智能专家和语言学家共同解码鲸鱼交流的倡议)”可知，CETI项目的主要目标是利用人工智能来理解鲸鱼的交流。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中“Truly understanding whale “language” would not only rewrite biology textbooks, but also fundamentally challenge our human-centered worldview. Just as Copernicus showed that Earth was not the center of the universe, we hope our work could mark a similar shift (真正理解鲸鱼的“语言”不仅会重写生物学教科书，还会从根本上挑战我们以人类为中心的世界观。正如哥白尼表明地球不是宇宙的中心一样，我们希望我们的工作能标志着类似的转变)”可知，作者提到哥白尼是为了通过类比来强调一种认知上的转变——从以人类为中心到承认其他物种也具有丰富的内心和社群生活。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第五段“Later this year, we will release an AI system that can translate human audio into whale-like sounds — allowing humans, for the first time, to potentially experience what it might be like to interact with a whale in its own language. (今年晚些时候，我们将发布一个AI系统，可以将人类音频翻译成类似鲸鱼的声音——让人类首次有可能体验用鲸鱼自己的语言与鲸鱼互动的感觉)”和第六段“To me, this is the real potential promise of AI: not to make us faster or more efficient, but to make us wiser. (对我来说，这才是人工智能真正的潜力：不是让我们更快或更高效，而是让我们更智慧)”可知，文章主要讲述了科学家利用人工智能技术研究抹香鲸的交流系统，希望能够实现人与鲸鱼之间的跨物种对话。故D项“Talking to Whales: AI Bridges the Gap Between Species (与鲸鱼对话：人工智能弥合物种间的鸿沟)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。有两项为多余选项。 Holding a solo concert is a milestone for any musician. ___16___ For Clara Reed, there is an additional challenge: She has been deaf since she was 12 years old. For the past three years, Clara, now 15, has been overcoming her disability to achieve this goal. “I got tired of relying on others. Why not try to feel the music myself ?” she explains. ___17___ Then she got bored again and tried vibrating (震动) floor mats to feel the rhythm and strength of each note. Then came months of patient practice, alone in a quiet room ___18___ She understood it by feeling the vibrations of the keys and using her hand memory. She also used special software that turns sound into visual signals, helping her match the speed and volume of the music. Now, after practicing hundreds of pieces from memory independently, Clara has gradually reduced her reliance on others. “At first, I had to concentrate hard to ‘hear’ the music through my hands and eyes. Now, it feels almost natural,” she explains. ___19___ “I made quite many mistakes in the beginning — like hitting the wrong keys — but I quickly adjust,” she laughs. ___20___ The freedom and confidence she has built through independent practice are vast, not only elevating her skills as well as providing inspiration to others. “I can’t hide the fact that I’m deaf,” she says, “but I can play like everyone else and not be treated differently.” A. That’s not to say the learning process is easy. B. Repeating is important for playing hard pieces. C. As a result, she learned the entire Chopin piece. D. She began by practicing simple melodies in silence. E. It gives her an opportunity to share the stage with everyone. F. This poses extreme physical and mental challenges for anyone. G. Clara believes independence outweighs any fear of mistakes. 【答案】16. F 17. D 18. C 19. A 20.

The first morning I arrived at Willowbrook Nursing Home, I could hardly control the knot of nervous excitement forming in my stomach. It was my first time volunteering with the youth group to help the seniors. I was thrilled and eager to do something meaningful for the community, but I was also extremely nervous. What would these people be like? What would I talk to them about? I knew I was doing a good deed and that I could learn a lot from this hands-on work, yet deep down, the shy girl in me kept whispering that I might not fit in or know how to communicate with them. As a volunteer, my task was simple: assist the staff and spend time with the residents. Yet as I walked through the sliding glass doors, I felt as if I were stepping into a world entirely different from my own. Mrs. Thompson, the head nurse, greeted me warmly. ‌“You’ll start in the common room,” she said. ‌“Some of the residents love company, and a listening ear makes all the difference. Keep an eye on Mr. Harris. He’s been quiet and down these days.” I nodded, taking a deep breath. The common room was bright, with sunlight spilling over the tables. Elderly men and women sat quietly, some in wheelchairs and others in armchairs, eyes glancing toward the door with curiosity. In the corner, alone, sat an elderly man, staring at the floor, his eyes clouded with sorrow. I guessed he must be Mr. Harris. Taking a deep breath, I put on my warmest and most sincere smile. But several minutes later, the air grew tense. The lines I had prepared earlier completely escaped my mind. I stood there, frozen with embarrassment. I had no idea what to do or what to say next. Then came the moment I would never forget. An old man with white hair and gentle gray-blue eyes looked at me and gestured for me to come closer. ‌“How much do I owe you for your smile?” he asked softly. I laughed and replied without hesitation, ‌“Nothing at all.” ‌“Well, in that case, may I have another?” I smiled at him again, and a strong sense of connection surged through me. 注意： 1．续写的词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Soon, our conversation began. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the day ended, I helped return the wheelchairs. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Soon, our conversation began. The white-haired gentleman shared interesting stories about his youth, drawing laughter from everyone around. Encouraged by the relaxing atmosphere, I chatted freely with other residents, who told me about their old days and recent updates. From them, I also learned that Mr. Harris had recently lost his beloved wife. My eyes then fell on Mr. Harris, sitting silently in the corner. Approaching him gently, I had intended to say something comforting but I decided not to. Instead, I offered him a cup of water. We sat quietly for a few minutes, and finally he looked up and gave me a faint and grateful smile. When the day ended, I helped return the wheelchairs. No longer nervous, I felt joyful and fulfilled. The head nurse praised me for my patience and kindness, saying it was the first smile she had seen on Mr. Harris’s face in days. At that moment, I came to realize the true meaning of volunteering. It was not about grand deeds or offering help, but about sincere attention and quiet company. A simple smile and being present could light up their world and be more powerful than any prepared lines. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者初次到养老院志愿服务为线索，讲述了作者紧张不安地进入养老院，在一位白发老人的鼓励下开始与人交流，并最终帮助沉默的哈里斯先生，领悟到志愿服务真谛的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句可知，第一段可描写作者与白发老人及其他居民的愉快交谈，之后转向关注沉默的哈里斯先生，并尝试以陪伴而非言语的方式安慰他。 ②由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写作者结束志愿服务时的感受，以及护士长的赞扬，并由此升华主题，领悟到志愿服务的真谛在于真诚的关注和安静的陪伴。 2. 续写线索：愉快交谈——关注哈里斯先生——安静陪伴——结束服务——获得赞扬——领悟真谛 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①提供：offer/provide ②靠近：approach/get closer to 情绪类 ①感激：grateful/thankful ②满足的：fulfilled/content/satisfied 【点睛】[高分句型1] Approaching him gently, I had intended to say something comforting but I decided not to.(运用了现在分词作伴随状语) [高分句型2] Encouraged by the relaxing atmosphere, I chatted freely with other residents, who told me about their old days and recent updates.(运用了who引导非限制性定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 佛山市顺德区2026届高三考前保温试题 英语 共8页，满分120分，用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1．答卷前，请务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号和座位号填写在答题卡上。将条形码横贴在答题卡右上角“条形码粘贴处”。 2．作答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔在答题卡对应题目后面的答案信息点涂黑：如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案，答案写在试卷上无效。 3．非选择题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各题目指定区域内相应位置上：如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新答案；不使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答无效。 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A If you’re an environmentally aware meat-eater, you probably carry at least a little guilt to the dinner table. The meat on our plates comes at a significant environmental cost. Meat industry accounts for about 15% of greenhouse gas emissions in the world, both directly and indirectly. That’s a big reason why there’s such a buzz today around a newcomer to supermarket shelves: plant-based meats. These products look and taste like real meat but contain no animal ingredients, promising to match the flavor and texture of real ground meat while reducing environmental impact. But are they truly “green”? Plant-based meats are highly processed. Proteins, fats, thickeners and flavorings are combined to make foods that resemble burgers, hot dogs and other meat products. However, every step of production consumes energy, which raises the question: With all the processing, are these meat alternatives really greener than what they seek to replace? To answer this, environmental scientists use life cycle analysis, a method that involves taking each ingredient in the final product and tracing it back to its origin, recording all the environmental costs involved. They found the average greenhouse gas footprint from plant-based meats was just 7% of beef for the same amount of protein. The plant-based products were also more climate- friendly than pork or chicken — although less strikingly so, with greenhouse gas emissions just 57% and 37% of those for the actual meats respectively. 1. Which food protein has the lowest greenhouse gas footprint per 100 g? A. Beef. B. Pork. C. Plant-based meat. D. Tofu. 2. Why might plant-based meats not be fully “green”? A. They contain animal fats. B. They are energy-consuming. C. They are difficult to produce. D. They have too many ingredients. 3. Why do scientists use life cycle analysis for plant-based meats? A. To measure taste. B. To test protein content. C. To track environmental costs. D. To calculate production costs. B In my grandparents’ era, the question of whether to repair or replace an item was irrelevant. Repair was usually the only option. So when faced with a broken hoe (锄头) one summer, I let my brain do a little time-traveling and decided to make the repair, just like grandpa would have done. I dug through my old toolbox for the needed parts, sorting through a mix of nails, screws, and bolts. I have a strong love for the past and cherish the bonds connecting present and past generations. Finally, I chose my favorite hammer passed down from my dad, who received it from his dad. Grandpa’s hammer has a worn, ash handle, the grain smooth from 70 years of use and spotted with colorful paint. Grandpa used his hammer to make things — a kitchen table, a rocking chair and a doll house. Grandpa said it took two things to make dreams come true — faith and a hammer. My grandpa was quiet and reserved. but never humourless. Small, silly things would amuse him. He had his favorite expressions. He liked saying “It’s immaterial to me” even when “I don’t mind” would have been enough. Deep down, I think he was probably disappointed that he hadn’t achieved more in life. He left school without qualifications and became a carpenter — a job he wasn’t passionate about. He was never particularly ambitious, though there was a moment when he and my grandma planned to move to Canada, an idea that never came to fruition. Where he came into his own was around the house. He had an ‌“eye for the job”. Whether it was building a bookshelf or fixing a cupboard — what he could achieve was astonishing. Repairing the hoe meant digging through Grandpa’s dusty hardware. With just the right bolt in hand, I was ready to begin. As I finished the hoe repair and replaced the hammer, I said a hearty thanks to grandpa. I’m determined to pass it to the next generation — mentoring with purpose and weaving together the connecting cords. 4. Why did the author choose to repair the hoe? A. Repair was usually the only option. B. He wanted to carry on the family tradition. C. He wanted to test if the hammer still worked. D. The toolbox had the parts needed for the repair. 5. What is the writer’s attitude to his grandpa in paragraph 3? A. He sympathized with his grandpa’s behavior. B. He regretted his grandpa had not achieved more. C. He was annoyed by his grandpa’s choice of words. D. He was grateful his grandpa never moved to Canada. 6. What does the underlined phrase “came into his own” in paragraph 3 mean? A. He was able to show his real talents. B. He was able to do things on his own. C. He was able to forget his past failures. D. He was able to continue his regular job. 7. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To argue the value of old objects. B. To show how to repair old tools. C. To reflect on personal experiences. D. To share imagined family histories. C To really succeed in life, have you ever considered getting a nemesis (假想敌)? I totally recommend it. Willpower fades. Apps rarely change behavior. You need the kind of fuel that’s born from pure jealousy or from the fire of anger. It’s a feeling that boils down to: That guy? Such emotion can provide lasting motivation. You do not need to express anger openly or confront anyone directly. Honestly, it’s probably better if you don’t tell anyone at all. Many successful people use this emotion as a source of motivation and have made remarkable achievements. Michael Jordan provides a famous example. Here’s a list of things he was offended by: A rival coach not saying hi to him while out to dinner; A rival saying, “You are, lucky, Mike.” These minor slights fueled his determination and pushed him to do better on the basketball court. Creating an enemy and looking for signs of disrespect from opponents help him achieve great things. Research supports this. A study from the Wharton School shows that underdogs often perform better because they want to prove others wrong. It feels satisfying to prove wrong the people who doubt you. In this sense, such feelings can become powerful forces behind achievement. A nemesis does not need to be a famous people or a direct competitor. It can be anyone whose achievements you secretly envy, whose hard work or talents push you to do better, or whose actions challenge you to step up your own game. The key is to turn this emotion into action: you transform feelings of envy into productive energy and push yourself toward greater accomplishments. Even partners, friends or colleagues can sometimes temporarily serve as motivators in certain situations. Ultimately, the power of a nemesis lies in using emotion strategically. People often fear they can’t succeed — so they hesitate to try… until they get mad enough. This emotion — whether real or imagined — can carry you further and help individuals achieve more than they thought possible, especially when training and talent reach their limits. 8. What’s the main idea of paragraph 1? A. A nemesis can be a powerful motivator. B. Willpower alone can guarantee success. C. Apps are ineffective for achieving success. D. Everyone should create a nemesis to succeed. 9. Why is Michael Jordan mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To show he often has conflicts with others. B. To prove talent is more important than emotion. C. To illustrate how minor offenses drive performance. D. To explain why athletes often need strong opponents. 10. Who can be considered as a nemesis? A. Only well-known figures or direct rivals. B. Anyone whose achievements motivate you. C. People who openly challenge you every day. D. Someone who frequently causes arguments. 11. How does the author view the power of nemesis? A. It can replace talent and hard work. B. It is an unreliable source of motivation. C. It is an imaginary concept with little effect. D. It can be a strategic tool for personal growth. D In January 2024, near Dominica, I encountered a sperm whale named Pinchy. As she sank into the deep, I realized that despite our shared mammalian need for air, we lived in entirely separate worlds. As a scientist studying whale communication, I wondered what whales might tell me if I could understand what she was saying? My research has learned that sperm whales have a remarkably sophisticated communication system — one that may even resemble a form of language. This discovery has been made possible thanks to the use of technology itself, especially artificial intelligence. This might seem contradictory. In our technology-driven civilization, doesn’t technology often make us more distant from the natural world? Yet what I’ve come to know is that technology and nature do not exist in a zero-sum relationship, where the rise of one side is the downfall of the other. Instead, these tools can give humans an opportunity to feel more connected to nature. This view took years to fully form. In recent work, when AI technologies began to predict words and form sentences on their own, my colleagues and I work with computer scientists to test if these models could analyze sperm whale codas (嗒嗒声). In a pilot study, AI successfully identified different coda types, whale family groups and even individual whales with over 90% accuracy. This gave rise to Project CETI, an initiative where 50 biologists, AI experts and linguists work together to decode whale communication. Our latest study shows that sperm whales produce sounds similar to human vowels. Later this year, we will release an AI system that can translate human audio into whale-like sounds — allowing humans, for the first time, to potentially experience what it might be like to interact with a whale in its own language. The potential is profound. Truly understanding whale ‌“language” would not only rewrite biology textbooks, but also fundamentally challenge our human-centered worldview. Just as Copernicus showed that Earth was not the center of the universe, we hope our work could mark a similar shift — a recognition that we are not the only beings with rich internal and communal lives. To me, this is the real potential promise of AI: not to make us faster or more efficient, but to make us wiser. 12. What can be inferred from the author’s discussion of technology and nature? A. As technology rises, nature falls． B. Technology separates humans from nature． C. Technology and nature are mutually beneficial． D. Technology leads to the destruction of nature． 13. What is the primary goal of Project CETI? A. To classify different whale species． B. To use AI to understand whale communication． C. To study the behavior of whales in the wild． D. To train whale to communicate with humans． 14. Why does the author mention Copernicus in paragraph 6? A. To highlight a cognitive shift through comparison． B. To criticize traditional views of human centrality． C. To show the project is as complex as astronomy． D. To stress the importance of scientific discoveries． 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. AI: A Double-edged Sword in Modern Science B. Whale Communication: The Discovery of “Vowels” C. Sperm Whales: The Intelligent Creatures in the Ocean D. Talking to Whales: AI Bridges the Gap Between Species 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。有两项为多余选项。 Holding a solo concert is a milestone for any musician. ___16___ For Clara Reed, there is an additional challenge: She has been deaf since she was 12 years old. For the past three years, Clara, now 15, has been overcoming her disability to achieve this goal. “I got tired of relying on others. Why not try to feel the music myself ?” she explains. ___17___ Then she got bored again and tried vibrating (震动) floor mats to feel the rhythm and strength of each note. Then came months of patient practice, alone in a quiet room ___18___ She understood it by feeling the vibrations of the keys and using her hand memory. She also used special software that turns sound into visual signals, helping her match the speed and volume of the music. Now, after practicing hundreds of pieces from memory independently, Clara has gradually reduced her reliance on others. “At first, I had to concentrate hard to ‘hear’ the music through my hands and eyes. Now, it feels almost natural,” she explains. ___19___ “I made quite many mistakes in the beginning — like hitting the wrong keys — but I quickly adjust,” she laughs. ___20___ The freedom and confidence she has built through independent practice are vast, not only elevating her skills as well as providing inspiration to others. “I can’t hide the fact that I’m deaf,” she says, “but I can play like everyone else and not be treated differently.” A. That’s not to say the learning process is easy. B. Repeating is important for playing hard pieces. C. As a result, she learned the entire Chopin piece. D.

The first morning I arrived at Willowbrook Nursing Home, I could hardly control the knot of nervous excitement forming in my stomach. It was my first time volunteering with the youth group to help the seniors. I was thrilled and eager to do something meaningful for the community, but I was also extremely nervous. What would these people be like? What would I talk to them about? I knew I was doing a good deed and that I could learn a lot from this hands-on work, yet deep down, the shy girl in me kept whispering that I might not fit in or know how to communicate with them. As a volunteer, my task was simple: assist the staff and spend time with the residents. Yet as I walked through the sliding glass doors, I felt as if I were stepping into a world entirely different from my own. Mrs. Thompson, the head nurse, greeted me warmly. ‌“You’ll start in the common room,” she said. ‌“Some of the residents love company, and a listening ear makes all the difference. Keep an eye on Mr. Harris. He’s been quiet and down these days.” I nodded, taking a deep breath. The common room was bright, with sunlight spilling over the tables. Elderly men and women sat quietly, some in wheelchairs and others in armchairs, eyes glancing toward the door with curiosity. In the corner, alone, sat an elderly man, staring at the floor, his eyes clouded with sorrow. I guessed he must be Mr. Harris. Taking a deep breath, I put on my warmest and most sincere smile. But several minutes later, the air grew tense. The lines I had prepared earlier completely escaped my mind. I stood there, frozen with embarrassment. I had no idea what to do or what to say next. Then came the moment I would never forget. An old man with white hair and gentle gray-blue eyes looked at me and gestured for me to come closer. ‌“How much do I owe you for your smile?” he asked softly. I laughed and replied without hesitation, ‌“Nothing at all.” ‌“Well, in that case, may I have another?” I smiled at him again, and a strong sense of connection surged through me. 注意： 1．续写的词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Soon, our conversation began. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the day ended, I helped return the wheelchairs. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
