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 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 (飓风艾达), 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. scientific but tricky C. strange and inaccurate D. encouraging and professional 5. Why did Orr find the lack of Internet at home a “hardship”? A. She couldn’t access weather data for forecasts. B. She needed online resources for air conditioning. C. She was unable to respond to people’s questions. D. She missed watching news about the hurricane. 6. What childhood experience sparked Orr’s fascination with weather? A. Seeing the stars in the eye of Hurricane Betsy. B. Reading books about hurricanes at school. C. Watching weather reports on television. 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. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了气象学家Margaret Orr在飓风Ida期间的工作经历。她以专业和敬业的态度回应公众咨询，尽管面临困难仍坚持工作，并表达了对家乡的深厚情感。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“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. (Orr报道天气已有四十二年之久，被许多当地居民视为预言家。有人问她为什么风暴来临前总是阳光灿烂。她回答道：“我说啊，这是为了提醒我们，阳光总会再次普照大地。不过，我可不想用太阳表情符号。”她用了一个爱心符号代替。)”以及“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.’ (她表示：“风暴前出现阳光的真正原因是什么？‘因为你头顶上常常有高压，天气很热，’她说，‘高压向东移动，把风暴系统推向我们这边。’”)可知，她的解释既科学又专业，同时她用“心”代替“太阳”的表情符号也带有一定的鼓励性。因此，D项“encouraging and professional(鼓励性和专业的)”最符合描述。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“I couldn’t check my social media until I got to work, which was annoying. (“直到上班我才能查看社交媒体，这很烦人。”)”以及第一段中“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).(飓风“艾达”登陆四天后，新奥尔良的气象学家Margaret Orr在连续十二个小时的播报后稍作休息，在推特上回复了一些粉丝。Orr报道天气已有四十二年之久，被许多当地居民视为预言家。)”提到人们通过Twitter联系她获取个性化、实用的建议，可以推断出Orr在家无法上网时感到困难是因为她无法回应人们的问题。因此，C项“She was unable to respond to people’s questions.(她无法回答人们的问题。)”是正确答案。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“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. (1965年，她12岁的时候，飓风贝琪的风把她在新奥尔良的家屋顶吹走了。她记得走到外面，站在风暴中心。‘我抬头看到了天空，看到了星星，’她说。)”可知，是她小时候在飓风贝琪的风暴眼中看到星星的经历激发了她对天气的兴趣。因此，A项“Seeing the stars in the eye of Hurricane Betsy.(在飓风贝琪的风暴眼中看到星星。)”是正确答案。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“‘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.’(“糟糕的天气到处都有，”她说。“时不时地，在推特上，你会看到有人说，你为什么住在那里？嗯，我住在这里是因为这是我的家。这是我长大的地方。这是我爱的地方。”)”可知，作者想传达的信息是情感依恋是人们与家乡联系在一起的原因。因此，C项“Emotional attachment is what ties people to their hometown.(情感依恋是将人们与家乡联系在一起的东西。)”是正确答案。故选C项。 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. Look into. B. Get back. 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. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕美国国家航空航天局(NASA)的“毅力号”火星车展开，介绍了其在火星杰泽罗陨石坑的探索任务。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第二段的句子“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.(科学家们认为火星曾经是一个温和的星球，有流动的水和保护磁场，适合生物的生存。“大约30亿年前，发生了一些灾难性的事情，”毅力号项目科学家肯·法利解释说)”可知，灾难发生前火星是适宜居住的。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“Perseverance’s primary mission is to search for signs of ancient tiny living organisms.(‘毅力号’的主要任务是寻找古代微小生物的迹象)”可知，毅力号的主要任务是寻找火星上早期生命迹象的证据。故选A项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上一段的句子“However, only Perseverance can collect samples for return to Earth, making its mission uniquely valuable(然而，只有毅力号才能收集样本返回地球，这使得它的任务具有独特的价值)” 以及下文的句子“The process involves multiple spacecraft working in sequence to launch the samples from Mars’ surface and safely deliver them to Earth.(这一过程涉及多个航天器依次工作，从火星表面发射样本并将其安全送到地球)” 可知“火星样本返回计划”的目的是把样本从火星带回地球，“retrieve”在这里应是“取回、拿回”的意思，与“Get back”意义一致。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第五段的句子“Once here, scientists worldwide will study them using advanced laboratory techniques unavailable on the rover itself.(一旦到达这里，世界各地的科学家将使用探测器本身无法使用的先进实验室技术对它们进行研究)”以及第六段的句子“These samples may hold clues not just about Mars, but about how planets evolve and how life begins(这些样本可能不仅提供了关于火星的线索，还提供了行星如何演化以及生命如何开始的线索)”可知，样本被带回地球后，科学家们会用先进的实验室技术对其进行研究，后续研究很可能聚焦于对火星样本的深入分析。故选B项。 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 ‘em 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. Teen inactivity decreased significantly. B. Adult inactivity rose from 26% to 31%. 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 attach little importance to the Olympic Games. B. They focus too much on the urban design issues. C. They ignore the scientific evidence behind exercise. 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. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述WHO2025目标未达成，专家认为应转用乐趣而非健康推动运动。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“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.(最新数据显示，全球31%的成年人没有达到身体活动指南的标准，比2010年的26%上升了5个百分点。)”可知，2010年至2025年，成年人身体不活动的比例从26%上升到了31%。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“For years, public health campaigns have relied heavily on the “exercise is medicine” narrative to promote physical activity.(多年来，公共卫生运动严重依赖“运动就是良药”的说法来推广体育活动。)”以及第三段中“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.(英国公共卫生研究员Benjamin Rigby认为，仅仅将减少运动作为一种预防疾病的方式，过于简化了人们选择运动的原因。)”可知，当前身体活动推广策略的问题在于过于依赖健康益处作为动力。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“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 ‘em all”.(确凿的证据还表明，当运动有趣时，人们更有可能保持活跃。享受与年轻人持续参与体育活动有关。还记得《精灵宝可梦GO》吗？这款游戏最热心的用户平均每天多走1473步，只是因为他们很兴奋能“抓住它们”。)”可知，作者提到《精灵宝可梦GO》是为了举例说明当运动有趣时，人们更有可能保持活跃。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段中“However, some experts are asking a more fundamental question — have we been promoting physical activity all wrong?(然而，一些专家提出了一个更根本的问题——我们一直以来都在错误地推广体育活动吗？)”以及最后一段中“Given the evidence, why haven’t public health messages tailored more closely with motivations centred on enjoyment?(鉴于这些证据，为什么公共卫生信息没有更紧密地围绕以享受为中心的动机来定制呢？)”可知，文章主要论述了全球身体不活动率上升，指出当前推广体育活动的策略存在问题，过于依赖健康益处作为动力，而忽视了运动的乐趣，应该关注运动的乐趣来推广体育活动。故A选项“Finding emotion in motion(在运动中寻找情感共鸣)”最符合文章标题。故选A。 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 ifs imperfections.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了提高自我外在形象的方法和策略。 【16题详解】 由上文“Body image is a person's opinions and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance.（形象是一个人对自己身体和外表的看法和感受）”和下文“You appreciate your body for its capabilities and accept its imperfections.(因为身体的能力你欣赏它，同时要接受它的不完美)”可知，上文解释了什么是body image，下文则让读者接受自己身体上的不完美，由此推知空处陈述好的外形对我们的影响。E项“Having a positive body image means feeling satisfied with the way you look”（有好的外形意味着你对自己的样子很满意）切题，起到承上启下的作用。故选E。 【17题详解】 根据本段首句“Recognize your strengths. (认清你的强项)”和下文“That may be basketball, table tennis, mountain biking, dancing, or even running. Or perhaps you have non-sports skills, like drawing, painting, singing, playing a musical instrument, writing, or acting. （那可能是篮球、乒乓球、山地自行车、舞蹈，甚至跑步。或者你有非体育技能，比如绘画、唱歌、演奏乐器、写作或表演）”可知，有很多技能可以供我们开发，只要我们积极去探索就一定能找到适合自己的。F项“Just explore talents that you feel good about.”（要去探索你感觉好的才能）切题，起到总结该段内容的作用。故选F。 【18题详解】 由上文“Good physiques(体形) don't just happen.（好的体形不会自己产生）”和下文“A healthy habit can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to 1 hour three days a week. Working out can also lift your spirits.(一个健康的习惯简单的就像每天锻炼20分钟到一个小时。锻炼也能提升你的精神) ”可推知，好的体形是需要通过锻炼等来塑造的。D项“They take hard work, regular workouts, and a healthy diet.”（它们需要艰辛的努力，定期锻炼和健康的饮食）切题，该选项中的they代指上文的good physiques。故选D。 【19题详解】 后文提到“Practicing good habits—regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair, and skin;wearing clean clothes, and so on—can help you build a positive body image.”（养成好习惯——经常洗澡；照顾好你的牙齿、头发和皮肤；穿干净的衣服，等等，可以帮助你建立一个积极的身体形象。）该段提到洗澡、刷牙、照顾好头发皮肤，穿干净的衣服等等，这些都是对自己身体爱护的一个表现。A项“Respect your body.”（尊重你的身体）符合文意，总结了后文中对自己身体爱护的内容，该项起到引出后文的作用。故选A。 【20题详解】 前文提到“Be yourself. Your body is just one part of who you are. ”（做你自己。你的身体只是你的一部分。）要接受自己的身体，无论好坏。后文提到“So try not to let small imperfections take over.”（所以尽量不要让小的不完美占据主导。），一个人都会有好的和坏的，要多多去发现自己好的一面，C项“Your talent for comedy, a quick wit, and all the other things make you unique.”（你在喜剧方面的天赋、机智和所有其他方面都使你独一无二。）该项提到每个人在不同的方面都会有属于自己擅长和好的一面，该项符合文意，起到承上启下的作用。故选C。 【点睛】 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Shawn Cheshire rode across the country on her bicycle, depending on Jesse Crandall, a chemistry professor, to guide her every step of the way.

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 descriptors like “hot” and “cold” do not describe specific temperatures, ___39___ how a dish is perceived 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, an early expert on Pu’er tea, praised its “lavorless 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, ___41___ focus on taste, from experts who see tea more ___42___ (whole). Qi and yun are thought to be more advanced than any simple description of taste, in part because they imply an indescribable sense of connection between people and things, and even to the ___43___ (broad) natural world. As Zhang notes, “Qi and yun ___44___ (consider) to more accurately and thoroughly express what people feel when they are touched by things, and to better reflect the ____45____ (unit) of people and things, and people and nature.” 【答案】36. experienced 37. citing 38. remains 39. but 40. in 41. who 42. wholly 43. broader 44. are considered 45. unity 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了茶文化。 【36题详解】 考查形容词。句意：当有经验的茶爱好者评论一杯茶时，他们可能会评论它的气和韵。修饰名词tea lovers应用形容词experienced。故填experienced。 【37题详解】 考考查非谓语动词。句意：引用古语“药食同源”时，她说食物和饮料对身体的影响仍然是中国人感知味道和质量的重要因素。空处为非谓语动词，she与cite为主动关系，此处为现在分词作状语。故填citing。 【38题详解】 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：她说食物和饮料对身体的影响仍然是中国人感知味道和质量的重要因素。主语为the impact，谓语动词用单数形式，结合上下文可知，陈述事实时态为一般现在时。故填remains。 【39题详解】 考查连词。句意：常见的食物描述词如“热”和“冷”并不描述具体的温度，而是描述一道菜被认为如何影响一个人的内在温度。此处是固定短语not...but...，表示“不是……而是……”。故填but。 【40题详解】 考查介词短语。句意：记住这一点，当茶爱好者谈论气和韵时，他们到底是什么意思？短语为keep in mind，意为“记住”为固定短语。故填in。 【41题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：如果这听起来不必要地矛盾，你并不孤单，但对邓来说，这是区分初学者和专家的一种方式，初学者专注于味道，而专家则更全面地看待茶。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为beginners，指人，关系词在非限制定语从句中作主语，应用who引导定语从句。故填who。 【42题详解】 考查副词。句意：如果这听起来不必要地矛盾，你并不孤单，但对邓来说，这是区分初学者和专家的一种方式，初学者专注于味道，而专家则更全面地看待茶。修饰动词see应用副词wholly。故填wholly。 【43题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：气和韵被认为比任何简单的味道描述更高级，部分原因是它们暗示了一种人与物之间甚至与更广阔的自然世界之间难以形容的联系感。根据句意可知，应用形容词比较级broader作定语。故填broader。 【44题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：正如张所指出的，“气和韵被认为更准确和彻底地表达了人们被事物触动时的感受，并且更好地反映了人与物、人与自然的统一。”主语为Qi and yun，谓语动词用复数形式，陈述事实为一般现在时，主语与谓语动词之间为被动关系。故填are considered。 【45题详解】 考查名词。句意：正如张所指出的，“气和韵被认为更准确和彻底地表达了人们被事物触动时的感受，并且更好地反映了人与物、人与自然的统一。”作reflect的宾语，应用名词unity。故填unity。 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） 46. 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 【答案】 Dear Jim, Hearing you often use ChatGPT to finish your learning tasks, I would like to share my thoughts on it.

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. Staring at her half-finished painting, tears welled up in her eyes — 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. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 After Sarah finished speaking, there was a long silence in the room. Her father finally cleared his throat. “We see your dedication, Sarah,” he said, his voice gentle. “Your paintings are expressive, and your research shows thoughtfulness.” Her mother added, “We just want you to have financial security. But perhaps… you could pursue art seriously while keeping science as a backup option?” Sarah’s heart raced as they agreed to let her enter the youth arts show. If she could prove her talent there, they would reconsider supporting her art path. Relieved, Sarah hugged them, tears of hope replacing her earlier despair. A week later, Sarah received a surprising call from her art teacher. “Your entry won second prize!” Ms. Evans exclaimed. “The judges praised its emotional depth, and a local gallery owner wants to display it next month!” Sarah gasped, unable to believe her ears. She immediately shared the news with her parents. Seeing her radiant joy and tangible achievement, their doubts melted. Her father smiled warmly, “We’re proud of you, sweetheart. Let’s discuss how to support your dream properly.” That night, Sarah added finishing touches to her winning piece — a vibrant canvas titled “Compromise,” symbolizing her hard-won balance between passion and practicality. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了萨拉热爱绘画，梦想办艺术展，还为当地青少年艺术展做准备，但其医生父母却劝她学医学以保未来稳定，双方产生矛盾。在好友建议下，萨拉向父母展示画作与艺术家调研成果，父母同意她参展。萨拉获二等奖且作品将被展出，父母最终认可并支持她的艺术梦想。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“萨拉说完之后，房间里顿时一片寂静。”可知，第一段可描写父母同意萨拉参展，支持她的艺术之路。 ②由第二段首句内容“一周后，萨拉接到了她的美术老师打来的令人惊讶的电话。”可知，第二段可描写萨拉获二等奖且作品将被展出，父母最终认可并支持她的艺术梦想。 2.续写线索：父母同意参展——萨拉高兴——拥抱父母——充满希望——接到电话——作品获奖——父母认可 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①展示：show/display ②追求：pursue/chase ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①安慰：relieve/alleviate ②绝望：despair/hopelessness 【点睛】[高分句型1] If she could prove her talent there, they would reconsider supporting her art path.（运用了if引导条件状语从句） [高分句型2] Seeing her radiant joy and tangible achievement, their doubts melted.（运用了现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 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 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 (飓风艾达), 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. scientific but tricky C. strange and inaccurate D. encouraging and professional 5. Why did Orr find the lack of Internet at home a “hardship”? A. She couldn’t access weather data for forecasts. B. She needed online resources for air conditioning. C. She was unable to respond to people’s questions. D. She missed watching news about the hurricane. 6. What childhood experience sparked Orr’s fascination with weather? A. Seeing the stars in the eye of Hurricane Betsy. B. Reading books about hurricanes at school. C. Watching weather reports on television. 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. Look into. B. Get back. 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 ‘em 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. Teen inactivity decreased significantly. B. Adult inactivity rose from 26% to 31%. 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 attach little importance to the Olympic Games. B. They focus too much on the urban design issues. C. They ignore the scientific evidence behind exercise. 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 ifs 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 descriptors like “hot” and “cold” do not describe specific temperatures, ___39___ how a dish is perceived 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, an early expert on Pu’er tea, praised its “lavorless 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, ___41___ focus on taste, from experts who see tea more ___42___ (whole). Qi and yun are thought to be more advanced than any simple description of taste, in part because they imply an indescribable sense of connection between people and things, and even to the ___43___ (broad) natural world. As Zhang notes, “Qi and yun ___44___ (consider) to more accurately and thoroughly express what people feel when they are touched by things, and to better reflect the ____45____ (unit) 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） 46. 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） 47. 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。 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. Staring at her half-finished painting, tears welled up in her eyes — 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1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
