It goes without saying that the majority of students take a fancy to this course. There are several reasons accounting for this result. For one thing, the multimedia teaching method enriches art appreciation classes with pictures and videos, making them far more engaging. For another, students are provided with chances to visit art exhibitions and watch artistic performances, which greatly arouses their enthusiasm for art. From my perspective, this survey result marks a promising start. Art appreciation plays an indispensable role in our growth, so its significance can never be overemphasized. 第二节（满分25分） One possible version Paragraph 1: Despite these fears, I sat in the hairdresser’s chair with my mom standing by. She gave me an encouraging look when the hairdresser began to cut my hair. I closed my eyes, trying to steady my breathing. Then, before I knew it, the hairdresser was handing me the long hair that took her only seconds to remove. For a moment, I felt a little sad with my long hair gone. Then, all at once, I realized why I was here. What I did would positively impact another girl’s life. I began to feel a sense of pride. Without delay, we donated my hair to Locks of Love. Paragraph 2: A few weeks later, I received a letter from Locks of Love with a picture of a little girl. The girl was smiling brightly wearing a wig. The letter explained that she had lost her hair due to illness and thanks to my donation she had regained her confidence. Tears welled up in my eyes as I read her story. From the wig the girl wears, I see the real value of my hair. I’ve come to understand that true beauty lies not in how we look, but in the kindness we show to others. 二、听力原文 Text 1 M: Hi, Lisa. Are you free to help with the school open day tomorrow afternoon? W: I’d like to, but I’ll be driving my cousin to the airport. Text 2 W: Excuse me, I’d like to find a spot where I can sit down and finish some work quietly. M: OK, madam. There’s a quiet seating area near the information desk. Text 3 W: My doctor says I need to drink more water, but I prefer sugary juice. M: Yeah, but water would be much better for you. W: OK, I’m going to give it a shot! Text 4 W: How’s your car mechanics class going, Jake? M: I dropped it. W: Really? Then you must be taking the cookery class? M: No, I got a new camera for my last birthday, so I’ve decided to learn how to use it properly. Text 5 W: What made you decide to become a civil engineer? M: I always wanted to do something practical, and civil engineers just hit the spot! W: Why do you want to work with our company? M: Um, your company is well known and, hopefully, I have opportunities to develop my skills. Text 6 W: Have you heard that the contract has been canceled? M: Yes. You must be really annoyed after all the work you put into it! W: Yes, I was. The client was really positive about it, but they were in some financial difficulty. M: It was a huge contract, wasn’t it? What are you going to do now? W: Well, we’ve just had a big order from another client, so that’s taken the pressure off! Text 7 W: You’ll never believe what happened in chemistry class today. M: Let me guess: you mixed the wrong liquids and caused a big fire? W: No, exactly! John said something to me, so I turned around and—you knocked the test tubes over? M: Just let me finish. I didn’t hear what the teacher said, and I added the powder to the wrong liquid. Within seconds the mixture started smoking a little, but our teacher jumped in quickly and reminded us to follow the steps! Text 8 W: So, what do you got for today’s TV show, Thomas? M: Recycling! I’m not talking about everyday recycling, but up-cycling. Up-cycling is recycling on a small, individual level—giving new life to old, unwanted items. It has become popular in recent years. So today I’m going to experiment with some of the most common techniques. W: What kind of things can be up-cycled? M: Almost anything! Whatever your item, I guarantee you’ll leave the show today with the skills needed to make amazing things for your home. W: OK, Thomas, let’s take a quick break for some commercials from our sponsors and we’ll be right back. Text 9 M: I’ve been thinking a lot about our living situation lately, especially with the kids needing more personal space. W: I’ve noticed that, too. And working from home has made it even harder to find a quiet corner. M: I looked at some listings online last night. There are a few bigger houses still within our budget. W: That sounds promising—but I worry about the longer travel time if we move farther from the city center. M: Most of the places I saw are close to public transport. W: What about our kids’ new schools? M: I looked into that as well. The nearby schools actually have newer facilities and smaller class sizes. W: That’s amazing! But moving means a lot of extra work and unexpected costs. M: True, but staying here may limit the kids’ growth. W: Maybe we should visit a few places in person first. M: I agree. Text 10 W: Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for coming to the Riverside Community Sports Centre. Before you start using the facilities, I’d like to go over a few important updates and services we now provide.

She was excited to spend time by the ocean, swimming and basking in the sun. However, as she walked along the shore, she was astonished to see piles of plastic bottles, broken fishing nets, and discarded wrappers along the sand. The once beautiful beach was now littered with trash, and this made Emily’s heart sink. Emily had always cared about the environment, but seeing the pollution up close made her realize just how serious the problem had become. It was not only ruining her vacation but also endangering the marine life she loved. She thought of the turtles that might mistake plastic for food, or the seabirds that could get trapped in the nets. She knew she had to do something about it. After returning home, Emily decided to take action. She began volunteering at local beach cleanups every weekend, picking up trash and raising awareness about the dangers of ocean pollution. She encouraged her friends, family, and classmates to join her, and soon, a small group of dedicated volunteers formed. They organized monthly cleanups and started educating the community about reducing plastic waste. But Emily didn’t stop there. Realizing that the problem was far too big for just a small group to handle, she created a non-profit organization called “Ocean’s Hope.” The organization’s mission was to raise awareness about plastic pollution, organize global beach cleanups, and collaborate with businesses to reduce plastic packaging. Emily’s passion for the ocean grew stronger, and she worked tirelessly to inspire others. By 2020, “Ocean’s Hope” had become a global movement. Volunteers from all over the world participated in cleanups, and companies began adopting more sustainable practices. Emily’s dream of a cleaner, safer ocean was becoming a reality. 24．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 1 probably refer to? A．The endangered wildlife. B．Emily’s expectation. C．The beach’s transformation. D．The weather conditions. 25．What led Emily to take action? A．Her love for rare sea animals. B．The desire to enjoy her vacation. C．Her family’s concern for marine life. D．The realization of pollution’s impact. 26．What did Emily do to get others involved? A．She sought advice from experts. B．She motivated those around her. C．She created a profitable organization. D．She traveled abroad to give speeches. 27．Which words can best describe the personality of Emily? A．Ambitious and strong-willed. B．Committed and open-minded. C．Generous and well-educated. D．Determined and hard-hearted. C The illusion of explanatory depth (IOED) refers to people’s tendency to believe they understand something far better than they actually do. It’s often not until they are asked to explain further that they come face to face with their limited understanding of it. Imagine an alien asks you to describe how a zipper functions. You’ve used zippers countless times — on jackets, bags, or shoes. Confidently, you start: “You pull the slider up, and the teeth interlock!” But as the alien goes deeper — “How do the teeth match? What stops them from separating sideways? Why does the slider move smoothly?” — you get stuck. To think that a zipper is such a simple everyday item, and yet you actually know much less than you’ve predicted. This puzzles you greatly. In reality, attempting to unpack details exposes our knowledge as far shallower than imagined — a gap called “explanatory shallowness”. On the whole, IOED leads people to overestimate their understanding of complex issues, driving decisions rooted in emotion rather than reasoned analysis. This cognitive bias fuels misplaced confidence in certain causes, often with minimal factual grounding. Studies reveal that individuals with stronger opinions on topics like genetically modified foods frequently possess the least knowledge about them. Similarly, it can also make us less receptive to other political opinions. One study at MIT looked at whether getting people to explain a political policy in detail — thereby exposing the illusion of explanatory depth — would make them more open to changing their bias when later presented with a persuasive argument. They found while participants did rate their understanding lower, they were actually less likely to shift their position, even more committed to their original stand. Recognizing IOED is critical to fighting against the spread of misinformation fueled by overconfidence in shallow knowledge. To avoid it, practice explanatory self-testing: explain ideas clearly before forming strong opinions, identify knowledge gaps, and admit intellectual shortage by acknowledging uncertainty. Prioritize depth over strong beliefs — seek diverse perspectives, avoid jumping to conclusions, and confirm claims. This encourages informed decisions, reduces unnecessary conflicts, and replaces performative expertise with collaborative learning. 28．Why is the example “explaining a zipper to an alien” presented? A．To justify a theory. B．To introduce a topic. C．To draw a comparison. D．To clarify a definition. 29．What does the MIT study suggest? A．Explanation facilitates change in views. B．Reflection deepens people’s understanding. C．Realizing ignorance makes people more biased. D．Unpacking details contributes to strong arguments. 30．What is the author’s advice for breaking IOED? A．Hide your ignorance. B．Question your certainty. C．Avoid further explanation. D．Resist informed decisions. 31．What can be a suitable title for the passage? A．IOED: When Confidence Masks Ignorance B．IOED: You Might Know More Than You think C．To Explain or Not to Explain? Think Before Starting D．Simplicity or Complexity? Watch Out for the Common D As autumn approaches and we prepare for a new school year, the Education Division at the National Geographic Society (NGS) is looking forward to a new year of learning, storytelling, and opportunity. In all of our work, NGS Education remains committed to the Society’s mission to inspire and protect our planet through science, storytelling, and, of course, education. Reflecting on my career path. I initially set my sights on becoming a lawyer. However, as time went by, my interests shifted, and I was drawn towards the worlds of art and teaching. Eventually, I managed to integrate both passions, becoming an artist and a teacher. Coupled with a deep interest in learning technologies, traveling and living in different parts of the world, I would say that the little girl, who grew up in NE Washington, DC and Montgomery County, Maryland, continued to expand on her dreams. My first paying job was working at an art store in Wheaton Plaza in Maryland. I would talk to customers, demonstrate how to use different types of art supplies and then help them to select the right supplies for their projects. It feels like everything I have ever done in my professional life has led me to this position, the Chief Education Officer at the NGS. I have a deep love for learning and helping people connect with their highest aspirations and goals for themselves. Having the opportunity to listen to learners’ ideas, aspirations and questions and to connect them with the information they need, keeps me deeply engaged in my work. And what truly excites me about my role is co-creating solutions with learners to achieve their goals. In addition, the dedicated people in the Education Division, the way everyone approaches their work and their willingness to put explorers, educators and learners first really energize me.

It’s essentially saying that taking care of the small things now can save us from bigger problems later. It’s a simple concept. 36 One of the most obvious places where this proverb rings true is in health. It is much easier to maintain a healthy lifestyle than it is to deal with illness. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and good sleep habits are all preventive measures. 37 Once a health problem like heart disease sets in, the “cure” is much more complicated and costly. In fact, many chronic illnesses (慢性病) are preventable with the right habits. 38 Often, we ignore signs of stress, anxiety, or burnout until they become most serious. By taking steps to manage stress—whether through mindfulness practice or recreational activities—you can prevent a full-on mental health crisis. In this sense, prevention is also a form of self-care that can lead to a more balanced richer life. Why don’t we always follow this proverb? One reason could be that prevention requires planning and foresight, which can be difficult when life gets busy. 39 When something doesn’t go wrong, it’s hard to see the value in the steps you have taken to avoid it. But once we start thinking of prevention as an investment in our future well-being, it gets easier to make it a priority. 40 The next time you catch yourself thinking, “I’ll deal with that later,” stop for a second and ask yourself: would a little bit of prevention now save me a whole lot of trouble later? A．So, bring the proverb into your daily life. B．They can help you avoid serious health issues. C．The same logic applies to our psychological health. D．They are what maintain a healthy relationship with others. E．Another reason is that the benefits of prevention are often invisible. F．Also, it’s human nature to hope things will fix magically themselves. G．However, its significance becomes clear in almost every aspect of our life. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 During summer vacations, I would volunteer at the shelter for animals, so I’d seen a lot of dogs.

I turned to my mom and said, “I think I’ve changed my mind. Maybe we should go home.” She reminded me that I had already made the commitment, and assured me that it was not a big deal. But in my 12-year-old mind, it was the biggest deal in the world. Although I was the one who had decided to do this, I was so troubled by thoughts of what might happen next that I was starting to feel nervous. It was a simple, ordinary task, and yet I was convinced that it would completely change my life. Of course, it was only hair; it would grow back. On the other hand, I had never before parted with my long, thick locks (头发). I guess I was afraid to get my hair cut because I thought I would lose a part of who I was. But we arrived at the hairdresser’s after all, and I nervously walked in with my mother. Growing up, I was known for having the longest hair of anyone I knew. I always took pride in this fact. I thought that it was what made me unique — as if it were my trademark. Then one day I read an article in the newspaper about a girl who had cut her hair and donated it to Locks of Love, an organization that makes wigs (假发) for children who have lost their hair due to illness. It seemed like a simple way to help someone in need, and I knew I wanted to contribute. Yet, I was terrified to think that I would lose the hair that I had spent my whole life growing. I was afraid that people would treat me differently because I would look different, and I would lose that special quality that made me different. 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。 Despite these fears, I sat in the hairdresser’s chair with my mom standing by. A few weeks later, I received a letter from Locks of Love with a picture of a little girl. 高三英语试卷 第 1 页（共 14 页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
