From my perspective, I’m not willing to use AI to help do my learning tasks. While its efficiency and accuracy are indeed impressive, only by learning independently can we gain a deeper understanding of knowledge. In my daily life, I actively embrace AI as well. It makes it possible for me to get explanations for difficult knowledge points and even practice language conversations whenever and wherever I need. In the meantime, I keep AI from taking over my life by setting a fixed time for using it, so it won’t replace my own thinking. In a nutshell, I hold the firm belief that we should make the most of AI by using them in a more reasonable and responsible way. Yours, Li Hua 读后续写 After Sarah finished speaking, there was a long silence in the room. Her father put down the portfolio gently, his tight jaw softening little by little.Her mother reached out to pat Sarah’s hand, eyes warm with regret. “We were only scared you’d struggle, but if this is your heart’s desire, we’ll support you.” Before Sarah could respond, her father nodded, reaching out to squeeze her shoulder gently—no more words needed to show their change of heart. Tears of relief rolled down Sarah’s cheeks as she pulled them into a tight hug, the weight of worry lifting off her chest at last. A week later, Sarah received a surprising call from her art teacher. “The youth arts show committee wants you to have a small solo exhibition!” her teacher’s excited voice came through the phone. Sarah covered her mouth to hold back a gasp, eyes wide with disbelief and excitement. She immediately shared the news with her parents. As they saw her beaming with happiness and pride, the uncertainty that had lingered in her parents’ minds melted away. That night, they helped her pick out more works for the exhibition. As Sarah hung her paintings in the gallery later, she smiled—her persistence had not only won her parents’ support but also brought her one step closer to her biggest dream. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 东莞一中2025-2026学年第一学期9月考 高三英语试题 第一部分 听说 (略) 第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Shanghai Natural History Museum As one of the biggest natural history museums in China, Shanghai Natural History Museum is constructed in the shape of a green spiral (螺旋形的) shell—technologically advanced and environmentally friendly.

B Four days after Hurricane Ida made landfall, the New Orleans meteorologist (气象学家) Margaret Orr took a break after twelve hours on the air to reply to some of her fans on Twitter. Orr, who has been reporting the weather for forty-two years, is regarded by many residents as a prophet (预言家). Someone asked why the sun always shines before a storm: “And I said, to remind us that the sun will shine again. But I don’t want the sun emoji.” She used a heart instead. The real reason the sun shines before a storm? “Because you’ve often got high pressure right over you, and it’s hot,” she said. “The high moves off to the east and pushes the system our way.” Many of her workmates were sleeping at the station, but Orr preferred to go home, where she had running water but no electricity. She could handle not having an air-conditioner. The trick, she said, was to take a cold shower. Not having Internet, though, was a hardship. She said, “I couldn’t check my social media until I got to work, which was annoying.” In the days leading up to Ida, people contacted Orr through Twitter to get individualized, practical advice. Orr tried to respond to everyone. This dedication earned her great respect from the residents. Orr has always been fascinated by weather. In 1965, when she was twelve years old, the wind from Hurricane Betsy blew the roof off her family’s house in New Orleans. She remembers going outside and standing in the eye of the storm. “I looked up and saw the sky and saw the stars,” she said. “Bad weather happens everywhere,” she said, “Every now and then, on Twitter, you’ll see people saying, why do you live there? Well, I live here because it’s my home. This is where I grew up. This is the place I love.” She went on, “After Hurricane Katrina, I thought, could I live anywhere else? And I decided, no, I couldn’t.” She added, “As my daughter said about New Orleans when she was a little girl, ‘I even love the dirt.’” 4. Orr’s explanation about sunshine before a storm can be described as _______. A. poetic but abstract B. encouraging and professional C. scientific but tricky D. strange and inaccurate 5. Why did Orr find the lack of Internet at home a “hardship”? A. She couldn’t access weather data for forecasts. B. She missed watching news about the hurricane. C. She needed online resources for air-conditioning. D. She was unable to respond to people’s questions. 6. What childhood experience sparked Orr’s fascination with weather? A. Watching weather reports on television. B. Reading books about hurricanes at school. C. Seeing the stars in the eye of Hurricane Betsy. D. Helping neighbors rebuild after Hurricane Betsy. 7. What message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A. Natural disasters are a common threat all over the world. B. People online don’t understand her deep love for her home. C. Emotional attachment is what ties people to their hometown. D. She decided to stay mainly because of her daughter’s opinion. C NASA’s Perseverance rover (火星车) continues its pioneering exploration of Mars’ Jezero Crater, collecting rock samples that may fundamentally change our understanding of the Red Planet and the potential for life outside the earth. Since landing in 2021, the car-sized rover has been carefully documenting Mars’ geology while gathering sealed samples for eventual return to Earth. Scientists believe Mars was once a mild world with flowing water and a protective magnetic field (磁场), which was suitable for the survival of living things. “Around three billion years ago, something disastrous happened,” explains Ken Farley, Perseverance’s project scientist. “The planet’s magnetic field disappeared, solar wind took away the atmosphere forcefully, and Mars became the uninhabitable world we see today.” Perseverance’s primary mission is to search for signs of ancient tiny living organisms. The rover is equipped with precise instruments to analyze rocks and soil, but its most important task is collecting pure and undamaged samples for detailed study on Earth. “Each sample tube we fill could hold answers to questions about Martian history and whether life ever existed there,” says Meenakshi Wadhwa, lead scientist for the Mars Sample Return program. In June 2024, NASA’s Curiosity rover discovered yellow sulfur crystals — an exciting find. However, only Perseverance can collect samples for return to Earth, making its mission uniquely valuable. The ambitious Mars Sample Return program, a cooperation between NASA and ESA, aims to retrieve these samples by the early 2030s. The process involves multiple spacecraft working in sequence to launch the samples from Mars’ surface and safely deliver them to Earth. Once here, scientists worldwide will study them using advanced laboratory techniques unavailable on the rover itself. “These samples may hold clues not just about Mars, but about how planets evolve and how life begins,” Wadhwa emphasizes. As Perseverance continues its journey across the Martian landscape, each new discovery brings humanity closer to answering one of our most profound questions: Are we alone in the universe? 8. What was Mars like before the disaster? A. Dry. B. Noisy. C. Freezing. D. Inhabitable. 9. What is the main mission of NASA’s Perseverance rover? A. To seek evidence of early life signs on Mars. B. To test new spacecraft landing technologies. C. To study the Martian atmosphere composition. D. To document the Martian surface temperature. 10. What does the underlined word “retrieve” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Get back. B. Look into. C. Set aside. D. Pay off. 11. What is the follow-up research most likely to focus on? A. New instruments for other missions. B. Deep analyses of the Mars’ samples. C. Test methods for restoring magnetic field. D. Spacecraft designs for longer space travel. D In 2013, the World Health Organization (WHO) set an ambitious goal: reduce the global physical inactivity rate by 10 percent by 2025. However, despite numerous public health campaigns and efforts tied to the Olympic Games, people are moving less than ever. The latest data indicates that 31 percent of adults worldwide aren’t meeting physical activity guidelines, a 5-percentage-point increase from 26 percent in 2010. Among teens, the numbers are worse: 81 percent aren’t moving enough. So, what went wrong? From public health policy to urban design issues, there are numerous ways to criticize current strategies. However, some experts are asking a more fundamental question — have we been promoting physical activity all wrong? For years, public health campaigns have relied heavily on the “exercise is medicine” narrative to promote physical activity. We have all heard it time and again: get active if you want to prevent illnesses like diabetes and heart diseases. It is a message based on strong scientific evidence, and you would think that the promise of good health is the best possible motivator. Benjamin Rigby, a UK public health researcher, argues that reducing movement merely as a way to prevent disease oversimplifies why people choose to be active. “We want to play, to laugh, to explore, to dance, and feel proud and ultimately, to have fun and feel good,” he says. A growing number of studies support this idea of shifting the spotlight away from health-focused narratives. A UK analysis of 123 studies concluded that health reasons aren’t necessarily what motivate people to get off the couch. The most effective messages highlight the short-term rewards of being active — like feeling good, reducing stress or having fun with friends — not the threat of illness. Solid evidence also shows that people are more likely to stay active when it’s fun. Enjoyment is linked to young people consistently participating in sports. And remember Pokémon GO ? That craze has its most engaged users walking an extra 1473 steps a day on average, just because they were excited to “catch them all”. Given the evidence, why haven’t public health messages tailored more closely with motivations centred on enjoyment? While health narratives appeal to institutions, with the next target of reducing inactivity by 15% by 2030, change is urgently needed. 12. What happened to the global physical inactivity rate between 2010 and 2025? A. Adult inactivity rose from 26% to 31%. B. Teen inactivity decreased significantly. C. The 10% reduction goal was achieved. D. WHO successfully reduced inactivity rate by 5%. 13. What’s the problem with the current physical activity promotion strategies? A. They focus too much on the urban design issues. B. They ignore the scientific evidence behind exercise. C. They attach little importance to the Olympic Games. D. They rely too much on health benefits as motivation. 14. Why does the author mention “Pokémon GO” in paragraph 5 ? A. To present a fact. B. To give an example. C. To make a comparison. D. To explain a concept. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Finding emotion in motion. B. Exercise is the best medicine. C. Connecting others through games. D. A little movement for better health. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Body image is a person’s opinions and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance. ____16____ You appreciate your body for its capabilities and accept its imperfections.

When 36 (experience) tea lovers comment on a cup of tea, they might comment on its qi and yun. In a 2021 paper, Zhang Jinghong notes that in Chinese culture, food and drink are not judged only by taste or smell. When____37____ (cite) the ancient saying, “Medicine and food have the same origin”, she says that the impact of food and drink on the body 38 (remain) an important factor in how Chinese perceive taste and quality. Just to name one example, common food words like “hot” and “cold” do not describe specific temperatures, 39 how a dish is thought to affect a person’s inner temperature. Keeping that 40 mind, what exactly do tea lovers mean when they talk about qi and yun? Deng Shihai, 41 early expert on Pu’er tea, praised its “flavorless flavor” as the highest level Pu’er can attain. If that sounds needlessly contradictory, you’re not alone, but to Deng, it was a way to distinguish beginners at tea, 42 focus on taste, from experts who see tea more entirely. Qi and yun are thought to be more advanced than any simple ____43____(describe) of taste, in part because they imply an indescribable sense of connection between people and things, and even to the____44____(broad) natural world. As Zhang notes, “Qi and yun 45 (consider) to more accurately and thoroughly express what people feel when they are touched by things, and to better reflect the unity of people and things, and people and nature.” 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节：应用文写作（满分15分） 假设你是李华。你的英国好友Jim告诉你他最近经常使用ChatGPT（一款人工智能软件）来完成他的学习任务，还咨询你是否同意使用人工智能 (Artificial Intelligence)来完成学习任务。请你写给他一封邮件， 内容包括： 1. 你的看法及原因； 2. 你在生活中是如何合理使用AI； 注意：1. 词数80左右：2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Jim, _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 第二节 读后续写（满分25分） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。 Sarah has always had a deep passion for painting, and her greatest dream is to host her own art exhibition someday. Her art teacher told her about an upcoming local youth arts show—and she’d already started preparing for it. However, her parents, both practicing doctors, urged her hard to go into medicine, arguing it would give her a stable, secure future. One evening at dinner, her father said firmly, “It’s time you start preparing for the medical school entrance exams. You’re smart and hard-working—you’ll surely thrive in this field.” Sarah set down her fork, disappointment clouding her eyes. “But I don’t want to be a doctor,” she insisted. “Painting is what I’m truly passionate about.” Her mother sighed softly, “Art is a wonderful hobby, but it doesn’t pay the bills. You need to be practical about your future.” Growing frustrated, Sarah stood up, stormed to her bedroom and locked the door. Tears welled up in her eyes as she stared at her half-finished painting—trapped between her love for art and her parents' expectations. That night, Sarah lay awake, tossing and turning. She hated the thought of letting down her supportive parents, yet she couldn’t bear the idea of giving up her dream. The next day at school, her best friend Lily noticed her gloom and asked what was wrong. After Sarah poured out her troubles, Lily advised, “Follow your heart—but prove to your parents how serious you are about painting.” Taking Lily’s advice, Sarah spent the weekend crafting a series of paintings that laid bare her emotions. She also looked up artists who’d built successful careers out of their art. On Monday evening, she asked her parents into her room, showed them her portfolio (作品集) and notes, and said, “I know you’re worried, but I believe I can make it as an artist—selling online, teaching, or doing custom work. Please give me a chance.” Her parents listened quietly, their faces softening as they looked over her work. 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。 After Sarah finished speaking, there was a long silence in the room.__________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, Sarah received a surprising call from her art teacher.___________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ( 第 1 页 共 8 页 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
