东莞一中2025-2026学年第一学期11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 Sound is measured in decibels(dB)(分贝). There are many sounds in the environment, from rustling leaves(20 dB) to a normal conversation(60 dB), from a screaming baby(80dB) to a subway train(100 dB). Sounds that reach 85 dB or higher can harm a person’s ears. Permissible Exposure Time How long can a person be exposed to a certain sound before risking hearing damage? According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, for every 3 dB sound pressure level over 85 dB, the permissible exposure time is cut in half——before damage to our hearing can occur. Sound Pressure Level Permissible Exposure Time 85dB 8 hours 88dB 4 hours 91dB 2 hours Four Commonest Types of Noise Pollution ● Road vehicles are one major source of noise pollution. This is more concentrated in urban areas where there is a much higher number of vehicles. ● Fireworks, used generally for celebrations, are beautiful. However, they can be very loud, and scary There is no real way of dealing with it, as fireworks are used so briefly. ● Construction work cause loud and disturbing noises which can make it hard to concentrate. Most countries have laws in place preventing construction work from taking place between certain times. ● Animals also cause noise pollution. For example, if you live on a road where somebody keeps their dog outside for hours on end while it barks constantly, that’s really annoying. Obviously, noise pollution is a widespread issue. But the consequences of this pollution are often underestimated. According to WHO estimates, at least 1 million healthy life-years are lost annually from traffic-related environmental noise alone in western Europe. It is time that the effects of noise pollution on public health receive more attention. 1. What is the permissible exposure time to the noise of a subway train? A. 8 hours. B. 1 hour. C. 30 minutes. D. 15 minutes. 2. Which type of noise pollution already has legal restrictions in most countries? A. Road vehicles. B. Fireworks. C. Construction work. D. Animals. 3. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. There is a lack of attention to public health. B. Noise pollution is most serious in western Europe. C. Noise pollution has become the deadliest pollution. D. There is insufficient awareness of the harm of noise pollution. B For a long time, scientists believed the beautiful songs of birds were purely a product of instinct(本能). Peter Marler, a pioneering British animal behaviorist, revolutionized this view through his research into how birds actually learn to sing, earning him the title “the father of birdsong”. Marler’s fascination began in his youth, observing chaffinches(苍头燕雀) in the English countryside. He noticed slight but consistent differences in the songs of birds from different regions, much like human dialects. This curiosity defined his career. In the 1950s, he began carefully recording these songs. Using a crucial tool called a spectrogram, which visually represents sound, he was able to scientifically confirm that these regional variations, or “dialects”, were indeed real. His famous study of the white-crowned sparrow in California clearly showed distinct dialects between northern and southern populations. The central question remained: Were these dialects inherited(继承) or learned? To solve this, Marler designed a series of experiments that would later be regarded as models of clarity. He raised young birds in complete vocal isolation(隔离) from adults. These isolated birds only produced simple, natural calls, proving that the full, complex song was not automatic. However, when he played recordings of adult songs to them during a critical learning period after hatching, they successfully learned and sang the complete tune. This was decisive evidence that birdsong is a culturally transmitted behavior. Initially, his theory faced doubts from a scientific community that favored instinct-based explanations. The mainstream view still favored instinct, and some dismissed his work as an exception rather than a rule. Marler, however, quietly continued his careful studies. Gradually, his well-designed methods and undeniable evidence won over the community. By transforming lines of numbers into meaningful maps of sound and behavior, he gave the world new eyes to see what had always been hidden in plain hearing. The impact of his work extended far beyond ornithology(鸟类学). It provided a powerful, simpler model for scientists studying the incredibly complex evolution of human language, suggesting our own speech may have roots in similar vocal learning processes. 4. What did Marler find while observing chaffinches? A. Seasonal variations in dialects. B. Regional differences in birdsong. C. Slight changes in bird population. D. Common features in bird species. 5. What do the underlined words “culturally transmitted” mean in paragraph 3? A. Found in human language. B. Spread within a single family. C. Passed down through genes. D. Learned from others in a community. 6. What can we infer about Marler? A. His findings were instantly accepted. B. He truly showed respect for others’ opinion. C. He was a patient and careful scientist. D. He was the first to study bird behavior. 7. Why was Marler’s theory significant? A. It supported rare bird protection. B. It proved the once-popular theory. C. It made bird research more popular. D. It promoted the study of human speech. C The greatest irony (讽刺) of the world-wide celebrations held in 2012 to honor the 200th anniversary of the first edition of The Grimms Hausmärchen involves the discovery that most people really don’t know the original Grimms’ tales published in 1812. If we return to take a closer look at the first edition, we’ll find it was this edition that inspired scholars of folk culture throughout Europe to gather tales from the oral tradition and preserve them for future generations. When the Grimms Jacob and Wilhelm began collecting all kinds of folk tales and songs at the beginning of the 19th century, what attracted them to concentrate on old German literature was a belief that the most natural and pure forms of culture were to be located in the past, while modern literature, even though it might be remarkably rich, was artificial and thus could not express the genuine quality of folk culture that originated naturally from people’s experiences and bonded the people together. Broadly speaking, the Grimms sought to collect and preserve ancient things consisting of tales, songs and documents. They intended to demonstrate how natural language, originating from the needs and customs of the common people, created genuine bonds and helped form civilized communities. Turning to the first edition a reader might notice that, totally unlike the final edition of 1857, the first edition collects more genuine folk tales, keeping spoken and raw contents, despite the fact that the language is not as pleasing as that in later revised versions. For instance, Snow White’s mother, not her stepmother, wants to kill the beautiful girl out of envy. The storytellers do not beat about the bush and they tell the truths they know, engaging people to learn from symbols how to engage their realities, even though magic, incredible transformation and cruelty are involved. Lastly, the Grimms’ little-known first edition reveals forgotten voices that are actually deep within us. Therefore, the irresistibility of the Grimms’ tales are that really not theirs, but ours. 8. According to the author, why should we rediscover the Grimms’ first edition? A. To explore its origin. B. To appreciate its significance. C. To honor its 200th anniversary. D. To remember the Brothers Grimm. 9. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about? A. The quality of the folk culture. B. The contents of the first edition. C. The feature of the old German literature. D. The motivation of the Grimms collecting tales. 10. What can we learn about Snow White in the first edition? A. It is loosely based on the folk tale. B. It instructs readers to integrate into life. C. It is appealing for its beautiful language. D. It exposes envy and cruelty of the stepmother. 11. What can we infer about the Brothers Grimm from the text? A. They were collectors of antiques. B. They kept their style in later editions. C. They thought highly of modern literature. D. They were pioneers in preserving folk culture. D New era requires a new vocabulary.Will we still talk about the “mobile” phone when all phones are mobile, or when they are implanted(植入) within us? Technology is everywhere nowadays, especially at work. Some people are really good at using all the cool new tools that keep popping up. They have something called TQ, or technology quotient. It’s like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really impossible. Having a high TQ means you’re awesome at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet. The examples are common and becoming more and more frequent. For the parent it might be a home-school video class. For the brand manager it might be search engine boosting. And for the clinician, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan. TQ attempts to quantify our ability to make sensible use of current technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and capitalize on future creations. This adoption is critical from a variety of perspectives, from social to business. One trip into the world of ChatGPT and we can see how the dynamics of AI and search are changing for just about everyone. Any Mom or Dad can understand the value of IQ and EQ in projecting the potential for a child’s success. But what about technology? The ability for the child and the teacher to understand, embrace and adopt technology will be a defining aspect of their lives as we speed into the future. We are increasingly defined by technology and our active participation in everything from smart phones to Facebook. It might just be time for the basic human needs of food, water and shelter to incorporate(吸收) technology too. And when that happens, it just might be a good idea to measure it. While this shift brings challenges, it’s unstoppable. As TQ rises, it will combine with IQ and EQ, reshaping how we live, work, and learn—turning adaptability with tech into a measurable edge. 12. What is TQ according to the text? A. Speed of learning new languages. B. Skill of fixing high-tech products. C. Talent to follow modern changes. D. Ability to apply new technologies. 13. Which of the following people has a high TQ? A. A manager who often uses modern search engines. B. A doctor who analyzes CT scans with AI assistance. C. A grandparent who finds new tech devices awkward. D. A mom who watches videos of her child’s school life. 14. What’s the writer’s attitude towards TQ? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Contradictory. 15. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Why Are IQ and EQ Important for TQ? B. How Has TQ Changed in the Modern Era? C. What Makes TQ the New Intelligence? D. Where to Start Adapting to TQ Changes? 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。 My first memory of academic anxiety was when I was in second grade. I had nightmares about forgetting to do worksheets. ___16___ It’s not surprising that it found its way to me — in many ways, my younger experiences with academic anxiety mirror my mother’s. The way I experience the world around me has been shaped by anxiety for as far back as my memory could take me. In high school, test anxiety ruled my world. Small quizzes would have me ready to throw up; big exams made me extremely tired. 17 But I’d have to learn to deal with it. When the pandemic (流行病) forced school to move online, school became more flexible and it was a lot less serious. Assignments and tests were structured differently and things began to gently shift for me. 18 Being able to take assessments from my own room, completely alone, also helped calm my nerves. And my teachers provided me with comfort I needed. We should not wait for help. 19 Recently, a midterm didn’t trigger panic. No extreme exhaustion or uneasiness, just healthy nervousness. The night before the test, I watched TV, just thinking mostly about what I was going to order at Starbucks when I finished. 20 Achieving this mental state required significant time and energy. If anxiety is sure to come, I’ll continue getting rid of it. A. I couldn’t imagine another way. B. This anxiousness comes from my family. C. These thoughts would awake me at night. D. Open-note tests helped me relieve my anxiety. E. Although anxiety is still here, it’s not my “normal”. F. It was a struggling way to pull myself through exams. G. Instead, we should work on ourselves, and change for better ourselves. 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。 On a hot afternoon Rhiannon was driving her old van down the highway.

We came in third at our school’s talent show, so we decided to try for local events. We were excited when we got a chance to play at a charity event in a recovery hospital. For two weeks, we practiced hard to prepare a one-hour show. On the day of the concert, we arrived early. Backstage, the hospital’s entertainment director told us, “Many people in the audience have serious disabilities or are elderly. They don’t often see live performances, so they’ll enjoy anything you do. Just play your usual show, and it’ll be fine.” When it was time to perform, the auditorium(礼堂) was full. There were rows of wheelchairs in the front and back. Many people had severe injuries or birth defects(缺陷), and some were missing limbs. A few were talking quietly, but most were just sitting and watching the stage. The silence felt strange, especially for us, as we were used to loud and energetic audiences. We played our best show ever, but we couldn’t enjoy it. After each song, there was a pause. Normally, the audience would clap, but this time, there was nothing. Not even polite applause. It was really discouraging. The silence made us even more determined to win them over. We played each song with more energy, trying to do our best. But after every song, the audience stayed completely still. After 45 minutes, we decided to stop early. Why keep playing if no one seemed to like it? We packed up our instruments and went backstage. A moment later, the entertainment director came running in. “What are you doing?” she asked. “You were supposed to play for an hour!” “Well, we think the audience don’t like us,” Tommy said, sounding upset and embarrassed. The director looked surprised. “They love you! They just don’t know they’re supposed to clap. In fact, many of them can’t clap. They’ll be hurt if you don’t finish.” 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。 The director added, “Get back out there and finish your show.

What 应用文 Dear Mike, How is everything going? I’m writing to share with you the excitement of the sports meet recently held by our school, which was truly an unforgettable experience. This year, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and took part in the 400-meter race. It was demanding, as it required both speed and endurance. Though I didn’t win, pushing myself to the finish line filled me with pride. What touched me even more, however, was the overwhelming spirit of sportsmanship and friendship. Hearing my classmates cheer for me and seeing players help each other was more meaningful than any medal. Do you have anything exciting to share? I can’t wait to hear your update when you have a moment. Yours, Li Hua 读后续写 The director added, “Get back out there and finish your show. Play some extra if you want.” The director’s words hit us hard, making us suddenly realize our mistake. Feeling both ashamed and responsible, we quickly returned to the stage with a new purpose. This time, instead of playing for applause, we played for the people in front of us. The instant the music started to flow, the audience’s eyes lit up. Although no cheers or applause could be heard, satisfied smiles and grateful eyes, which we failed to notice previously, reached our hearts. We poured all our energy into the music, not to be praised, but to share this special, quiet moment. The show over, we went backstage and were told some patients came to thank us. A man in a wheelchair approached, a soft smile on his face. “Thank you!” he said quietly, “Your music made me feel alive again.” Another woman reached out and gently touched my arm, her eyes saying everything words could not. No one clapped, but the feeling in the room was stronger and louder than any sound. It was through this special experience that we finally understood that the loudest response was sometimes a silent one, filled with unspoken gratitude. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
