B Dreams often take root in the smallest corners of our lives,long before we realize that they are quietly guiding us toward something extraordinary.In Yerramala Palle,a quiet village in Andhra Pradesh's Kadapa district,a young girl once threw a cricket (ball into the air,never knowing this simple act would one day reshape her life Shree Charani grew up in a modest family with her parents and elder sister. From an early age,she showed a keen interest in sports and tried badminton, volleyball and cricket."I started playing cricket when I was in Grade one.My family all loved the sport,and that's how my journey began."Charani recalled."I used to play with them in our yard.It was not until Grade 7 that my father bought me my first cricket kit,which made me even more determined to keep playing." Charani's daily life centered entirely on cricket practice.She got up early every morning to train,even on weekends.Injuries were unavoidable,yet she never let them 高三英语试题第4页共12项 stop her.Once,she fell heavily and broke her right arm while playing,but she didn't cry or tell anyone."Later,we noticed her discomfort and rushed her to the hospital She was so tough that she didn't complain at all,"recalled her elder sister. However,her greatest challenge was not on the field.Villagers often questioned Charani,asking why she had a boyish hairstyle and spent all her time on a boy's sport. The message was clear:as a girl,her future should be marriage and family,not sports, dreams or ambition.But Charani ignored these voices and stuck firmly to her dream. From her quiet village to world cricket stadiums,Charani's journey vividly proves what can be achieved when talent meets perseverance.Today,Shree Charani is not just an outstanding athlete,but a symbol of courage and determination.She shows the world that a dream nurtured in silence can light the way for anyone who dares to believe and pursue. 24.Why did Shree Charani start playing cricket? A.She had a natural talent for it. B.She wanted to prove girls could play. C.Her father forced her to play. D.Her family fueled her interest. 25.Why does the author mention Charani's broken arm? A.To show the risks of playing cricket. B.To highlight her toughness and persistence. C.To explain why family support matters. D.To prove girls face more challenges in sports. 26.What was the biggest difficulty Charani faced? A.Frequent injuries in training.B.Pressures from competitions. C.Social prejudice against girls.D.Lack of professional coaches. 27.What message does the text want to convey? A.All people are born equal. B.Actions speak louder than words. C.Talent cannot guarantee greatness. D.Where there is a will,there is a way. C In the classic story The Little Engine That Could,a small blue train engine laboriously moves up a hill.She's dragging cars stuffed full of toys and food for 高三英语试题第5页共12项 children on the other side.The train engine wills herself up the steep(hill by singing:"I think I can,I think I can,I think I can." Stories of sticking things out,often under tough circumstances,are common in the United States and other industrial countries."As a society,we value perseverance (坚持)，”says Andreea Gavrila,a psychology expert at Universite du Quebec a Montreal in Canada. The new year is a time people often set resolutions.Clean out your house.Start a new hobby.Exercise more.But rather than always choose something new to do, researchers suggest,maybe consider the opposite "It's time to reassess at the end of the year,'What is something I don't need in my life anymore?,says Rachit Dubey,who studies human motivation at the University of California."Past goals may have become impractical to work toward. Maybe they felt too hard or cost too much.Or they just no longer match what you want for your life now.Continuing to work toward goals that don't fit can cause physical and mental health problems."But the idea of quitting has a bad reputation. So sometimes,letting go can be tougher than persevering. It's natural to resist giving up.Once you've spent time,money or energy on something,you want to see it pay off.This is called a"sunk-cost"bias.This bias may be hardwired in our brains.People don't just wake up one day and say,"I'm done." and seamlessly move on to their next adventure."There's all this difficulty in letting go of the goal,"says Gavrila. But what's clear is that sticking to an outgrown goal can do more harm than good.Cutting some ties can clear space in your life to pursue things that really matter to you.And finding a new path forward may first require the courage to say,"I think I can't." 28.What does the author want to show by telling the classic story? A.Self-trust is the key to success. B.Perseverance is a treasured quality. C.Tough circumstances are nothing to fear. D.Stories are commonly used to show social values. 29.What does Rachit Dubey think people should do at the end of the year? A.Set new resolutions. B.Remove unfit resolutions. 高三英语试题第6页共12项 C.Keep track of their old resolutions D.Assess their progress in the past year. 30.Which of the following best describes the "sunk-cost"bias? A.Giving up can bring benefits B.More efforts lead to better outcomes. C.We tend to prefer a new goal to the old one. D.The more we invest,the less we want to quit. 31.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.The Power of Goal Setting B.The Psychology Behind Giving Up C.Best Way to Reach a Goal:Quit One D.New Year Resolutions:To Keep or to Abandon D According to the World Health Organization,there is a severe shortage of mental health professionals.Roughly one-third of people with mental health conditions,especially in poor countries,receive no treatment at all.Even in wealthy nations,many cannot afford or access timely care.In response to this crisis, AI-powered chatbots have emerged as a promising alternative,offering round-the-clock,low-cost support to millions worldwide. Powered by large language models (LLMs),modern chatbots have become more advanced,able to hold natural conversations and adjust replies to suit individual users.To boost their therapeutic effects,researchers have developed specialized tools such as Therabot and Ash.Therabot,trained with simulated dialogues between therapists and patients,cut depressive symptoms by 51%in clinical trials,while Ash can select proper therapeutic methods according to users'real feelings.Researchers also found users tend to feel less pressured to share personal troubles with an AI than with a human therapist,making the tools a dependable choice for daily mental health care. Yet AI therapy still carries obvious risks.In some extreme cases,chatbots may offer inappropriate and even harmful advice to emotionally fragile users.Besides, they often fail to spot risky crisis thoughts like suicidal tendency or intervene to correct users'unhealthy behaviors.Worse still,their overly agreeable replies may stop them from handling mental problems such as eating disorders properly. 高三英语试题第7页共12项 To strike a balance between safety and technological innovation,researchers are polishing professional AI models and equipping them with crisis detection functions. Meanwhile,governments are also taking active measures.Several US states have already introduced laws to regulate aI mental health tools and guard against potential risks.Although aI therapy cannot fully take the place of human therapists at present, it can act as a valuable first-line support for people in need.It will offer reliable mental health care to those who would otherwise have no access to professional help, as long as it is properly regulated and continuously improved 32.What contributes to the popularity of AI mental health therapists? A.Higher accessibility. B.More natural experience C.Better treatment effects. D.Less reliable human therapists 33.Which of the following is a potential problem ofAI mental health tools? A.They add stress to communication B.They can't detect unhealthy behaviors C.They always provide improper suggestions. D.They respond to users with easy approval. 34.What can we learn from last paragraph? A.AI models have replaced human therapists. B.Governments are strictly limiting AI mental tools. C.Joint efforts are being made to improve AI therapy. D.Safety risks ofAI therapy have been totally removed. 35.What's the author's attitude towards AI mental health therapist? A.Cautiously optimistic. B.Reasonably doubtful. C.Entirely opposed. D.Completely indifferent. E Renewable energy sources are abundant,regenerated by nature,and emit little to no greenhouse gases.Yet fossil fuels still account for nearly 60%of electricity generation. 36 Between 2015 and 2024,renewable electricity capacity jumped by 140%,while fossil fuel capacity grew only 16%.So why is there still an urgent need to accelerate the renewable energy transition? Renewables are all around us.About 80%of the global population lives in countries that are net-importers of fossil fuels.37 The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)estimates that 90 percent of the world's 高三英语试题第8页共12项 electricity can and should come from renewable energy by 2050. Renewable energy creates jobs.38 For every dollar invested, renewables create three times as many jobs as fossil fuels.The IEA estimates that the transition towards net-zero emissions will lead to an overall increase in energy sector jobs:while about 5 million jobs in fossil fuel production could be lost by 2030,an estimated 14 million new jobs would be created in clean energy. 39_In2024,$2 trillion(万亿)went into clean energy一$800 billion more than fossil fuels and up almost 70 per cent in ten years.Furthermore, energy-related carbon dioxide emissions are growing more slowly than the global economy.40 However,investments in renewables will finally pay off. A.Renewable energy makes economic sense. B.The good news is that cleaner sources are gaining ground. C.Clean energy sector jobs already outnumber fossil fuel jobs. D.In contrast,renewable energy sources are available in all countries. E.The initial cost can be overwhelming for countries with limited resources. F.This means that more than 30 million jobs could be created in clean energy. G.Emissions growth slowed while the global economy expanded by 3 percent. 第二节完形填空（共15小题满分15分） My father has always loved playing baseball since he was a child.As an adult, the game still remained his pure 41.He brought me into a 42 when I was five.Years later,when I told him I had"big news"(I would soon have my first child),his first thought was that I had got him tickets to a 43 At ninety-two,dementia (damaged his mind.I became his primary 44.To help him recall old memories,we often watched ball games together.

While checking the cash register,his heart suddenly skipped a beat.There, nestled among the bills,was an extra one hundred dollars-crisp,unfolded,and clearly out of place. The memory hit him instantly.Earlier,a distracted businessman in a sharp gray suit had paid for his order with a large bill.Overwhelmed by endless orders and urgent shouts,Mark had been in a hurry to serve the next customer and forgot to give him the full change.The man,preoccupied with his phone calls,had hurried out without noticing. To an ordinary person,it was just a mistake.But to Mark,it was a lifeline.That crisp bill represented his overdue rent and several days of groceries.The shop's daily earnings were already substantial,and his manager rarely double-checked the extra cash carefully.He could easily slip the money into his pocket,and the difference would likely disappear into the store's unclear accounts,unnoticed by anyone. However,a heavy sense of guilt quickly clouded his mind,weighing him down like a stone.He glanced up at the blinking red light of the security camera in the corner,feeling as though it were judging him.He thought of his parents,who had always reminded him of the value of honesty despite their own financial struggles. Standing in the silent,dimly lit shop,Mark found himself trapped in a fierce internal battle:the desperate relief of financial security against the heavy,inescapable weight of his morality. 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。 Taking a deep breath,Mark made a decision. A week later,a familiar figure walked into the coffee shop. 高三英语试题第12页共12项 2026-2027学年度高三第一学期8月学情质量监测 英语试题 注意事项 1.本试卷共12页，满分为150分，考试时间为150分钟。考试结束后,请将答题卡交回。 2.答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、考试号等用0.5毫米黑色墨水的签字笔填写在答题卡的规定位置。 3.作答选择题，必须用2B铅笔将答题卡上对应选项的方框涂满、涂黑;如需改动，请用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案。作答非选择题，必须用0.5毫米黑色墨水的签字笔在答题卡上的指定位置作答，在其他位置作答一律无效。 第一部分 听力部分 （共两节 满分30分） 第一节 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1 What will the man do on Saturday?

B Dreams often take root in the smallest corners of our lives, long before we realize that they are quietly guiding us toward something extraordinary. In Yerramala Palle, a quiet village in Andhra Pradesh’s Kadapa district, a young girl once threw a cricket (板球) ball into the air, never knowing this simple act would one day reshape her life. Shree Charani grew up in a modest family with her parents and elder sister. From an early age, she showed a keen interest in sports and tried badminton, volleyball and cricket. “I started playing cricket when I was in Grade one. My family all loved the sport, and that’s how my journey began.” Charani recalled. “I used to play with them in our yard. It was not until Grade 7 that my father bought me my first cricket kit, which made me even more determined to keep playing.” Charani’s daily life centered entirely on cricket practice. She got up early every morning to train, even on weekends. Injuries were unavoidable, yet she never let them stop her. Once, she fell heavily and broke her right arm while playing, but she didn’t cry or tell anyone. “Later, we noticed her discomfort and rushed her to the hospital. She was so tough that she didn’t complain at all,” recalled her elder sister. However, her greatest challenge was not on the field. Villagers often questioned Charani, asking why she had a boyish hairstyle and spent all her time on a boy’s sport. The message was clear: as a girl, her future should be marriage and family, not sports, dreams or ambition. But Charani ignored these voices and stuck firmly to her dream. From her quiet village to world cricket stadiums, Charani’s journey vividly proves what can be achieved when talent meets perseverance. Today, Shree Charani is not just an outstanding athlete, but a symbol of courage and determination. She shows the world that a dream nurtured in silence can light the way for anyone who dares to believe and pursue. 24．Why did Shree Charani start playing cricket? A．She had a natural talent for it. B．She wanted to prove girls could play. C．Her father forced her to play. D．Her family fueled her interest. 25．Why does the author mention Charani’s broken arm? A．To show the risks of playing cricket. B．To highlight her toughness and persistence. C．To explain why family support matters. D．To prove girls face more challenges in sports. 26．What was the biggest difficulty Charani faced? A．Frequent injuries in training. B．Pressures from competitions. C．Social prejudice against girls. D．Lack of professional coaches. 27．What message does the text want to convey? A．All people are born equal. B．Actions speak louder than words. C．Talent cannot guarantee greatness. D．Where there is a will, there is a way. C In the classic story The Little Engine That Could, a small blue train engine laboriously moves up a hill. She’s dragging cars stuffed full of toys and food for children on the other side. The train engine wills herself up the steep (陡峭的) hill by singing: “I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.” Stories of sticking things out, often under tough circumstances, are common in the United States and other industrial countries. “As a society, we value perseverance (坚持),” says Andreea Gavrila, a psychology expert at Université du Québec à Montréal in Canada. The new year is a time people often set resolutions. Clean out your house. Start a new hobby. Exercise more. But rather than always choose something new to do, researchers suggest, maybe consider the opposite. “It’s time to reassess at the end of the year, ‘What is something I don’t need in my life anymore?’” says Rachit Dubey, who studies human motivation at the University of California. “Past goals may have become impractical to work toward. Maybe they felt too hard or cost too much. Or they just no longer match what you want for your life now. Continuing to work toward goals that don’t fit can cause physical and mental health problems.” But the idea of quitting has a bad reputation. So sometimes, letting go can be tougher than persevering. It’s natural to resist giving up. Once you’ve spent time, money or energy on something, you want to see it pay off. This is called a “sunk-cost” bias. This bias may be hardwired in our brains. People don’t just wake up one day and say, “I’m done.” and seamlessly (无缝地) move on to their next adventure. “There’s all this difficulty in letting go of the goal,” says Gavrila. But what’s clear is that sticking to an outgrown goal can do more harm than good. Cutting some ties can clear space in your life to pursue things that really matter to you. And finding a new path forward may first require the courage to say, “I think I can’t.” 28．What does the author want to show by telling the classic story? A．Self-trust is the key to success. B．Perseverance is a treasured quality. C．Tough circumstances are nothing to fear. D．Stories are commonly used to show social values. 29．What does Rachit Dubey think people should do at the end of the year? A．Set new resolutions. B．Remove unfit resolutions. C．Keep track of their old resolutions. D．Assess their progress in the past year. 30．Which of the following best describes the “sunk-cost” bias? A．Giving up can bring benefits. B．More efforts lead to better outcomes. C．We tend to prefer a new goal to the old one. D．The more we invest, the less we want to quit. 31．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．The Power of Goal Setting B．The Psychology Behind Giving Up C．Best Way to Reach a Goal: Quit One D．New Year Resolutions: To Keep or to Abandon D According to the World Health Organization, there is a severe shortage of mental health professionals. Roughly one-third of people with mental health conditions, especially in poor countries, receive no treatment at all. Even in wealthy nations, many cannot afford or access timely care. In response to this crisis, AI-powered chatbots have emerged as a promising alternative, offering round-the-clock, low-cost support to millions worldwide. Powered by large language models (LLMs), modern chatbots have become more advanced, able to hold natural conversations and adjust replies to suit individual users. To boost their therapeutic effects, researchers have developed specialized tools such as Therabot and Ash. Therabot, trained with simulated dialogues between therapists and patients, cut depressive symptoms by 51% in clinical trials, while Ash can select proper therapeutic methods according to users’ real feelings. Researchers also found users tend to feel less pressured to share personal troubles with an AI than with a human therapist, making the tools a dependable choice for daily mental health care. Yet AI therapy still carries obvious risks. In some extreme cases, chatbots may offer inappropriate and even harmful advice to emotionally fragile users. Besides, they often fail to spot risky crisis thoughts like suicidal tendency or intervene to correct users’ unhealthy behaviors. Worse still, their overly agreeable replies may stop them from handling mental problems such as eating disorders properly. To strike a balance between safety and technological innovation, researchers are polishing professional AI models and equipping them with crisis detection functions. Meanwhile, governments are also taking active measures. Several US states have already introduced laws to regulate AI mental health tools and guard against potential risks. Although AI therapy cannot fully take the place of human therapists at present, it can act as a valuable first-line support for people in need. It will offer reliable mental health care to those who would otherwise have no access to professional help, as long as it is properly regulated and continuously improved. 32．What contributes to the popularity of AI mental health therapists? A．Higher accessibility. B．More natural experience. C．Better treatment effects. D．Less reliable human therapists. 33．Which of the following is a potential problem of AI mental health tools? A．They add stress to communication. B．They can’t detect unhealthy behaviors. C．They always provide improper suggestions. D．They respond to users with easy approval. 34．What can we learn from last paragraph? A．AI models have replaced human therapists. B．Governments are strictly limiting AI mental tools. C．Joint efforts are being made to improve AI therapy. D．Safety risks of AI therapy have been totally removed. 35．What’s the author’s attitude towards AI mental health therapist? A．Cautiously optimistic. B．Reasonably doubtful. C．Entirely opposed. D．Completely indifferent. E Renewable energy sources are abundant, regenerated by nature, and emit little to no greenhouse gases. Yet fossil fuels still account for nearly 60% of electricity generation. 36 Between 2015 and 2024, renewable electricity capacity jumped by 140%, while fossil fuel capacity grew only 16%. So why is there still an urgent need to accelerate the renewable energy transition? Renewables are all around us. About 80% of the global population lives in countries that are net-importers of fossil fuels. 37 The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) estimates that 90 percent of the world’s electricity can and should come from renewable energy by 2050. Renewable energy creates jobs. 38 For every dollar invested, renewables create three times as many jobs as fossil fuels. The IEA estimates that the transition towards net-zero emissions will lead to an overall increase in energy sector jobs: while about 5 million jobs in fossil fuel production could be lost by 2030, an estimated 14 million new jobs would be created in clean energy. 39 In 2024, $2 trillion (万亿) went into clean energy — $800 billion more than fossil fuels and up almost 70 per cent in ten years. Furthermore, energy-related carbon dioxide emissions are growing more slowly than the global economy. 40 However, investments in renewables will finally pay off. A．Renewable energy makes economic sense. B．The good news is that cleaner sources are gaining ground. C．Clean energy sector jobs already outnumber fossil fuel jobs. D．In contrast, renewable energy sources are available in all countries. E．The initial cost can be overwhelming for countries with limited resources. F．This means that more than 30 million jobs could be created in clean energy. G．Emissions growth slowed while the global economy expanded by 3 percent. 第二节 完形填空 （共15小题 满分15分） My father has always loved playing baseball since he was a child.

It was a chaotic Friday evening; the smell of roasted beans mixed with the impatient murmurs of a long queue. When the “Closed” sign was finally turned over, Mark’s muscles ached for hours of standing. He dragged his tired feet to the counter, wiping away the spilled coffee and counting the cash register. While checking the cash register, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. There, nestled among the bills, was an extra one hundred dollars — crisp, unfolded, and clearly out of place. The memory hit him instantly. Earlier, a distracted businessman in a sharp gray suit had paid for his order with a large bill. Overwhelmed by endless orders and urgent shouts, Mark had been in a hurry to serve the next customer and forgot to give him the full change. The man, preoccupied with his phone calls, had hurried out without noticing. To an ordinary person, it was just a mistake. But to Mark, it was a lifeline. That crisp bill represented his overdue rent and several days of groceries. The shop’s daily earnings were already substantial, and his manager rarely double-checked the extra cash carefully. He could easily slip the money into his pocket, and the difference would likely disappear into the store’s unclear accounts, unnoticed by anyone. However, a heavy sense of guilt quickly clouded his mind, weighing him down like a stone. He glanced up at the blinking red light of the security camera in the corner, feeling as though it were judging him. He thought of his parents, who had always reminded him of the value of honesty despite their own financial struggles. Standing in the silent, dimly lit shop, Mark found himself trapped in a fierce internal battle: the desperate relief of financial security against the heavy, inescapable weight of his morality. 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。 Taking a deep breath, Mark made a decision. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, a familiar figure walked into the coffee shop. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高三英语试题 第1页 共3页 高三英语试题 第1页 共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $2026-2027学年度高三第一学8月学情质量监测 英语参考答案 第一部分听力部分 (共两节满分30分) 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 A C B A B A C B B 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20.

This meaningful activity helps us face our future more confidently. 67.(25分) Taking a deep breath,Mark made a decision.Instead of pocketing the money to cover his rent and living costs,he resolved to return the hundred dollars to its owner. He searched through the store's sales records and the surveillance footage,carefully noting down the time the businessman placed his order.He then reported the whole incident to his manager right away.Moved by his honesty,the manager helped him post a notice outside the shop with detailed information to look for the customer. Though still worried about his tight budget,Mark felt a huge load lifted off his chest, proud that he stuck to his principle. A week later,a familiar figure walked into the coffee shop.It was exactly the businessman in the gray suit.He had realized he never received his full change days ago and came to check the shop.Mark greeted him warmly and handed back the one hundred dollars,explaining the whole accident.Deeply impressed by Mark's integrity, the businessman praised him sincerely.What's more,he offered Mark a well-paid weekend tutoring job for his child.Honesty not only brought Mark peace of mind but also rewarded him with a brighter way to ease his financial trouble.
