Every 6:30 a.m.,49-year-old Tashi gets up,ready to patrol (the vast highland.His wife prepares butter tea and tsampa for breakfast,while he checks his patrol bag:a tent,food,litter bags and a notebook for wildlife records. Tashi has been a ranger (for four years,one of over 20,000 local Xizang people who have traded their traditional lifestyle for ecological protection.Before this job,he spent all his days looking after sheep on the grasslands.Now,his "sheep"is the entire highland ecosystem. 高二英语第2页（共8页） Patrolling Sanjiangyuan is never casy.The weather can change in an instant:a sunny morning can turn into a heavy snowstorm by noon.In summer,heavy rains wash away mountain roads;in winter,waist-deep snow buries vehicles and blocks paths.Tashi and his team never patrol alone-safety lies in numbers.They carry enough food to survive two nights in the wild, for they often cannot return home on time. Last winter,Tashi and 10 teammates faced one of their hardest missions.A wild horse had wandered into a snow hole and become trapped.The team set out at dawn,walking for hours through knee-high snow.The wind cut through their clothes like a knife,and their boots froze solid.When they finally reached the horse,they spent three hours digging snow with their bare hands.By the time they freed the horse,their clothes were covered in ice,and their hands could barely move. Despite hardships,Tashi loves his job.Being a ranger gives him a steady income and a sense of purpose."We protect our home for future generations,"he said."When I see a group of Tibetan antelopes running freely across the grassland,or a black-necked crane flying over a lake,all the tiredness disappears." 24.What do we know about Tashi before he became a ranger? A.He rose early to clear litter. B.He was a tradesman in Xizang. C.He lived by raising animals. D.He patrolled the national park daily. 25.What is the main reason that keeps Tashi's team from returning home on time? A.Terrible weather.B.Disabled vehicles.C.Large team size.D.Lack of food. 26.Why is a wild horse mentioned in paragraph 4? A.To praise Tashi's teamwork spirit. B.To illustrate the toughness of the job. C.To reveal the rare wildlife in the park. D.To stress the cruel winter environment 27.What does Tashi probably think of his own work? A.Lonely but free. B.Risky but well-paid C.Easy but unstable. D.Tiring but rewarding. C Your mom wamed you sitting too close to the screen wasn't a good idea.It turns out she wasn't entirely off the mark. Digital eye strain(眼疲劳)”is a real physical condition caused by spending two or more hours in front of a digital screen.Its common signs include dry eyes,headaches,as well as neck and shoulder pain.Nearly two thirds of American adults now suffer from digital eye strain due to long-time use of computers,tablets and cell phones. It's not hard to see why.For many of us,our phone screen is the first thing we see in the morning and the last at night.We spend hours on online files,social media and streaming content,and office work only increases our daily screen time as being planted in front of a screen is often a requirement of the job.One major hidden risk behind such heavy screen use is blue light from digital devices.Though natural blue light keeps people awake and focused,too much exposure to screen blue light can harm our eyes and overall health. Thankfully,the harm of digital overuse is preventable.Simple lifestyle adjustments can bring obvious relief.The 20-20-20 rule is highly recommended:take a 20-second break every 20 minutes to look at something 20 feet away.Besides,you need to blink (more consciously to avoid dry eyes.You can also adjust the size of the type or the brightness of your display and sit farther from your screen. 高二英语第3页（共8页） Professional eyewear also provides effective protection.Anti-reflective glasses decrease reflection from overhead lights and improve contrast,while the latest glasses can even block out blue light. Technology has changed pcople's way of life and work,yet vision health has fallen far behind.It is vital for modem people to raise awareness of screen-related cye risks and take protective measures,for,after all,everyone only has onc set of eyes. 28.What does the underlined phrase"off the mark"in paragraph 1 mean? A.Impatient. B.Unfriendly. C.Inaccurate. D.Disapproving. 29.What can be inferred about blue light from paragraph 3? A.It has mixed effects. B.It hardly exists in nature. C.It helps people sleep. D.It is vital for office work. 30.What do the measures mentioned in paragraph 4 show? A.Time repairs all wounds. B.Little things count. C.Health outweighs wealth. D.Old habits die hard. 31.What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A.To criticize digital lifestyles. B.To promote professional eyewear. C.To wam against screen overuse. D.To explain the effects of blue light. D Graduation season is always full of speeches from successful graduates.They talk about their straight A grades,perfect college applications and dream job offers.These polished stories are repeated again and again,on school stages and social media.Rarely,however,do we hear from those who have faced setbacks ()-students who failed exams,missed their target universities or struggled to find jobs after graduation. Now,a new study suggests that these "failure stories"could be far more valuable to students than they are currently seen to be.Researchers from an American education institute found that sharing experiences of academic or career setbacks can reduce students'fear of failure by nearly 70 percent.In their experiment,high school students hearing talks from schoolmates who had failed major exams reported 40 percent less exam anxiety than those exposed only to top performers'experiences. Crucially,the impact depends on how relatable the story is.The study found that students were most affected when the speaker shared not just the failure itself,but also the messy process of recovering from it.However,the research also noted that schools rarely train speakers to share their difficult life moments. Still,the findings highlight a major gap in education's approach to success.Even when schools claim to teach resilience ()they continue to celebrate only the "perfect"success stories.This one-sided focus creates a false idea that achievement is a straight path,making students feel ashamed when they face any setback. Educators are still debating how to balance cclebrating success and normalizing failure- but what they do know is that hiding setbacks harms students'mental health.The new study suggests that inviting "unsuccessful"students to share could be a simple tool to build a healthicr school culture."These stories don't discourage students,"says Dr.Maria Lopez,a psychologist who was not involved in the research."They give them hope that it's okay to not have everything figured out yet." 高二英语第4页（共8页） 32.How does the author present the problem in the first paragraph? A.By giving an example. B.By providing statistics. C.By defining a concept. D.By making a comparison. 33.What determines the effectiveness of a failure story in reducing students'anxiety? A.The speaker's hard-won success. B.The bond felt by the students. C.The training provided by the school. D.The messiness of the recovery. 34.What is Dr.Lopez's attitude towards inviting failed students to share their experiences? A.Doubtful. B.Cautious. C.Supportive. D.Uninterested. 35.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.The Silent Value of Failure B.A Study on Graduation Speeches C.Polished Stories From Losers D.Balance Between Success and Failure 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。 In Shenzhen,a city at the forefront of China's tech revolution,a quiet transformation is unfolding in local households.36 For over a month,Long Mei has grown used to this unique partnership.37 It moves steadily across the floor with flexible mechanical arms,arranging daily items in order and tying up garbage bags carefully.Working side by side,the two clean every comer of the house and tum messy rooms into neat and comfortable spaces. _38However,the attempt turned out much better than expected.The robot stood quietly at the living room entrance,its camera scanning as it "observed"the space.When it noticed children's toys on the floor,it methodically cleared obstacles,picking up the toys one by one from the outermost edge and placing them in a box.This "observe first,plan later"approach made Long see the robot not just as a machine,but as a"thoughtful helper." With time going by,the two have formed an efficient division of labor.The robot is responsible for repetitive tidying and simple cleaning work.39 For Long Mei,the robot is never a threat to her job.On the contrary,it greatly eases her daily workload. This special human-and-robot team has left a deep impression on many residents.They think the new housekeeping model is convenient and considerate.40There is good reason to anticipate more such smart helpers in ordinary people's daily life in the near future. A.The silver robot is about 1.5 meters tall B.Long takes charge of tough and delicate tasks. C.A robot is able to do many simple daily chores. D.People are more willing to try this high-tech service E.They are willing to accept this new form of home service. F.Long felt curious and unsure when first working with the robot.

After finishing the announcement,Lily ended the broadcast.Leaning back in her chair,she sank into deep thought."What can I give them?"she asked herself.She pictured children living in remote western areas and wondered what they truly needed.Toys and storybooks were nice yet far too common.She thought hard but came up with nothing suitable.She grew upset, fearing she would never think of a unique present. When her hand accidentally brushed against the microphone,an idea struck her-her voice!Yes,her voice.She had a swect voice,was skilled at reading aloud,and could bring stories to life vividly.Besides,she spoke fluent English and could tell English stories in a lively way. "That's the perfect gift!"Lily jumped with joy and shared her idea with the other members of the school radio station.All of them liked the idea.They quickly formed a recording team, with some recording Chinese stories and others English ones. In the following days,Lily and her teammates devoted themselves fully to the task.They carefully selected warm,uplifting Chinese and English stories about growth,including inspiring tales of hardworking dream chasers and gentle classic stories that encourage bravery and perseverance ()They practiced repeatedly,correcting each other's pronunciation and refining every detail. After days of hard work,they completed all the recordings.Since the files were too large to send through WeChat,they copied them to a USB drive (U)and mailed it to Yunling Primary School along with other students'gifts.They waited anxiously,hoping this special gift would bring warmth and joy to those children. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右： (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A month later,the radio station received a parcel containing the same USB and a letter.

Last year,I volunteered at a community elderly care home every weekend.I helped the seniors with their daily chores and chatted with them.At first,I was nervous and awkward,but gradually I learned to communicate with people of different ages and understand their needs. Most importantly,I realized the joy of giving and developed a strong sense of responsibility. These experiences have made me more patient,empathetic and confident,which are all precious life lessons. Volunteering shapes us into better versions of ourselves,not just for college applications but for life. 参考答案二：理性辩证看待，部分认同Sam的担忧 大湾区联考高二英语答案第1页（共7页) I am Li Hua from China.I understand your concern,but I think your view is a bit too absolute.Volunteering can be meaningful if done properly,rather than a mere waste of time. Once I joined a school-organized tree-planting activity.At first,I thought it was just a formality that took up my study time.But when we worked together to plant saplings and learned about environmental protection from the volunteers,I gained a new understanding of teamwork and environmental responsibility.I also realized that many "volunteering"activities are indeed superficial,but those we choose with purpose do bring growth. The key is to pick activities that align with our interests,not just follow the crowd. 参考答案三：温和回应，以自身经历说明志愿活动的隐性价值 I am Li Hua from China.I read your post and wanted to share my thoughts.I used to think the same way as you,until my own volunteer experience changed my mind. Last semester,I volunteered at a local library to organize books and help young readers.At first,I found the work boring and repetitive,and even complained about the time it took.But as I kept doing it,I learned to be more organized and patient.When I saw kids find their favorite books with my help,I felt a sense of achievement I'd never felt before.I also made new friends who shared my love for reading. These small gains may not seem obvious,but they've helped me grow in ways I didn't expect. 第二节 (满分25分) 参老答乡 A month later,the radio station received a parcel containing the same USB and a letter.It was from Yunling Primary School.Lily opened the envelope in excitement and saw neat lines full of children's delight."We love your stories so much!"the letter read.It said their school played the recorded stories during every long break.The pleasant voices and interesting stories soon made the long break their favourite time.Inspired by the stories,they grew more confident and enthusiastic about learning.The wonderful stories broadened their horizons and motivated them to pursue their dreams bravely.To express their sincere gratitude,they recorded cheerful songs onto the USB drive.Curious and delighted,Lily couldn't wait to play the songs. Listening to the kids'songs on the USB,Lily and her teammates felt deeply touched.The sweet songs warmed their hearts like sunlight.They decided to share the songs with the whole school through the radio station.The next day,Lily's beautiful voice echoed across the campus again:"Dear teachers and fellow students,let's enjoy special songs from the kids of Yunling Primary School."As the sincere melody filled the air,students listened quietly,smiles spreading across their faces.What started as a simple idea built a warm bond between the two schools, proving that a small act of kindness can bridge distances and warm hearts.Since then,the donation campaign has become a lasting connection,allowing love to travel far and wide through voices and care. 大湾区联考高二英语答案第2页（共7页）
