2026年下学期高三开学考试 英语 一、听力 1.C【解析】 【原文】W: I’m trying to live a greener lifestyle. Any tips? M: Start by reducing the use of plastic products and recycling more. About energy, use LED bulbs and try to save water. W: Great ideas! I’ll include these in my daily life. 2.C【解析】 【原文】W: You’re supposed to dress properly for your sister’s wedding. Here, try this on. M: Oh, Mom, it seems a bit expensive. W: Don’t worry about the price. It’s a big family party. You need to be well-dressed. 3.A 【原文】W: Isn’t that the guy my son is crazy about? But I never knew his name. M: He’s Larry King, the famous talk show host who is a household name. He always presents quite a variety of points of view. 4.B 【原文】M: Why are you studying a foreign language? W: I started Spanish because it was the only language offered in our middle school. And there’s a lot of Spanish speakers where I live, because we live in the south of the US and we’re close to Mexico. 5.A 【原文】M: Are you enjoying your meal, madam? W: Oh, yes. It’s delicious, thank you. M: Well, just let me know when you’re ready to order your dessert. W: Mmm. OK, thanks. 6.C 7.B 【原文】M: What do you do to keep fit? W: Well, I do a lot of walking. I walk everywhere. I walk — any appointments I have, I walk there. I don’t take taxis at all or buses. I just leave early enough to get there, and it works out well. Obviously, I keep fit. I don’t have any real stress. You know, sometimes people that go to the gym end up with accidents and pulled necks and pulled muscles, but that never happens to me. 8.B 9.C 10.A 【原文】W: Why do you want to work with us at Camp Elizabeth? M: Well, your company has a good reputation. I know some people who have been to your camps and they say everything was well-organized. W: Mm, good. What qualities do you think are important for this kind of job? M: Well, I think you certainly must have patience. A lot of patience! That's the most important. And, another important thing is enthusiasm. And, well, I suppose you also have to be very careful. W: OK, are there any questions you would like to ask me? M: Just one thing. Could you tell me that kind of accommodation there is for people working at the Camp? W: Yes, of course. Most monitors have their own rooms but some will have to share. M: OK, I see. 11.C 12.B 13.B 【原文】M: Hey, have you been to the city observatory? W: Not yet. I love the shape it makes against the sky, and there is an impressive view of it from the flower gardens. I heard it’s interesting. Is that true? M: Absolutely. It offers amazing views of stars and planets. They even have special nights where they point out shapes of the stars and discuss space related events. W: Is it expensive? M: Well, it’s not cheap but worth it. For adults, it’s 20 dollars each, but I got five dollars off with my student discount and it can be about 10 dollars each as a group. W: Nice, I’ll check it out. 14.C 15.B 16.A 17.C 【原文】W: Well, Paul, that was a term. My students did excellently at the science fair, but math could have been better. M: Tell me about it, Sara. My history lovers did an awesome job, but some English essays were very bad. W: What’s the plan for the next term? M: Maybe some team projects to keep them engaged. I’m looking at some field trips too. W: Solid plan. I think I’ll involve more technology in lessons. M: You are always adventurous. Maybe you could be on the edge of a breakthrough for an educational technology startup business. W: Huh! Hmm. What an idea. By the way, have you got any plans for summer? M: A good book, swinging under a shaded tree and absolutely no grading. W: Oh, I’m going hiking with my family. It’ll be refreshing to deal with a different kind of chaos for a change. M: I couldn’t agree more. Here’s to a restful summer and a more fulfilling next term. 18.B 19.A 20.B 【原文】W: My lecture today is on motivation at work. We all know that every member has needs or expectations when working, and these needs or expectations will affect each person’s behavior. For example, they will work harder if they know that they will be rewarded. That is, if they can achieve their goals of higher pay or promotion. The achievement of these goals will, in turn, lead to job satisfaction. In the 19th century, Frederick Taylor put forward the theory that workers were only interested in making money. One important 20th century theory of motivation was put forward by Maslow in 1943. Maslow classified five important needs. At the bottom, he put what he called basic needs, good pay and pleasant working conditions. Then he put security needs, safe working conditions and job security. His third need he called social, the need to have friends at work and get on with the boss. Fourth were status needs, a job title and social recognition. Finally, he put the need for advancement to have a challenging job with opportunities for promotion. His theory isn’t perfect, but it’s still acceptable today. 二、阅读理解 语篇解读：这是一篇应用文，介绍大地艺术的起源及现代大地艺术运动兴起后的四件代表性作品，包括创作时间、创作者、创作方式及核心特点。 21.A【解析】细节理解题。根据A Line Made By Walking部分“One of the first examples of Land Art, A Line Made By Walking, was created by Richard Long in 1967”可知，该作品创作于1967年。故选A。 22.C【解析】细节理解题。根据The Lightning (闪电) Field部分“400 steel poles arranged in a desert... to attract lightning during storms”可知，《闪电原野》需在暴风雨期间欣赏才能感受其艺术形态。故选C。 23.B【解析】细节理解题。根据Washington’s Crossing部分“built a sort of bridge between Land Art... and the so-called Narrative Art in which story is the top priority”可知，该作品的特别之处在于连接了大地艺术与以叙事为核心的叙事艺术，即强调讲故事。故选B。 语篇解读：这是一篇记叙文，作者分享了自己第一次购买电动汽车的经历，包括了解电动汽车的专业术语、经销商介绍的优势，以及实际驾驶后的感受。 24.B【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“When I asked the dealer how long the battery could last, he assured me that range anxiety was not a big problem now”可知，经销商通过介绍续航里程和充电桩分布，试图缓解作者的续航焦虑。故选B。 25.D【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段“The loss of energy in the form of heat is why you could fry eggs on the engine”可知，燃油车能效低是因为大量能量以热能形式流失。故选D。 26.A【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段“I was glad to find that I could put my foot on the brake （制动器） less frequently.”“I was especially pleased that the ride was amazingly smooth and that the car could go from zero to 100km/h astonishingly fast!”可知，作者最喜爱电动汽车的平稳驾驶体验和便捷的操作方式，即舒适性和易用性。故选A。 27.C【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段“This time, I found I had to learn such new terms... because, for the first time, I was in the market for an electric vehicle”及全文内容可知，作者的核心目的是分享自己第一次购买电动汽车的经历。故选C。 语篇解读：这是一篇说明文，围绕美国电价上涨背景下，居民白天上班时是否该关闭空调展开讨论，专家分析了气候、房屋材质等影响因素，并推荐智能恒温器来平衡节能与使用需求。 28.A【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段“As the prices of electricity are rising rapidly in the US, residents wonder whether the air-conditioning should be turned off” 可知，电价上涨导致空调使用成本上升，美国居民因此关注空调使用方式。故选A。 29.C【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段“In wet climates like Florida...

In my view, AI-assisted teaching offers significant advantages. It provides abundant learning materials and customized study plans, thus enhancing learning efficiency. For instance, AI can analyze students’ weak points and recommend targeted exercises. Nevertheless, we should use it wisely. Teachers remain irreplaceable as they guide students’ moral development and emotional growth. Briefly, balancing AI and traditional teaching methods is the key to maximizing educational benefits. 六、读后续写 67. But the moment she began teaching, an entirely different Mrs. Walitt appeared. I had to admit she could be funny and engaging. Through her vivid descriptions, the boring knowledge came to life. I hung on Mrs. Walitt’s words so much that at one point, I forgot myself and shot up my hand. Instead of feeling bothered, she was interested in what I said. Mrs. Walitt always had the power to keep us on the edge of our seats. Gradually, I got used to participating in her class with her praise and encouragement. To my amazement, I was stuttering less and less. With Mrs. Walitt’s constant encouragement, my grades improved beyond belief. For the first time in my life, I was bringing home A’s. Mrs. Walitt moved me from the lower reading and writing level to the advanced. I beamed with pride and worked even harder. More than that, Mrs. Walitt made me feel like I could accomplish anything with enough focus. Fifth grade had been my favorite year of school ever. On the last day, I opened my report card. “Promoted to the sixth grade,” I read. “Advanced class.” And I knew I owed it all to Mrs. Walitt. 第1页 共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年下学期高三开学考试 英语 一、听力(共20小题,共30分) 1.（1.5分）What are the speakers mainly talking about?

But the modern movement itself didn’t emerge until the late 1960s. Below are some artworks that help tell the story of Land Art as it has expanded and evolved since then. A Line Made By Walking One of the first examples of Land Art, A Line Made By Walking, was created by Richard Long in 1967 by walking the same path again and again in Wiltshire, United Kingdom. Since it was unable to be commercialized, it was applauded for having changed the definition of what art could be. Spiral (螺旋) Jetty Another noticeable piece of Land Art is undoubtedly Spiral Jetty, which was created by Robert Smithson in April of 1970. Using natural materials including rocks and earth, Smithson built a 457-meter-long spiral off the shore of the Great Salt Lake in Utah. The Lightning (闪电) Field The most unusual Land Art work of all is The Lightning Field created by Walter de Maria in 1977. He used unconventional materials to draw attention to the power of nature. The piece consisted of 400 steel poles arranged in a desert ringed by mountains in New Mexico to attract lightning during storms. Due to the unpredictability of nature, this display could take on many forms depending on the weather. Washington’s Crossing In 1969, Bill Beckley went to the location of George Washington’s famous crossing of the Delaware River during the Revolutionary War and repeated the action while pouring white paint behind him. This work built a sort of bridge between Land Art which tries to promote a more positive relationship between the audience and the earth and the so-called Narrative Art in which story is the top priority. 21.（2.5分）When was A Line Made By Walking created? A.In 1967. B.In 1969. C.In 1970. D.In 1977. 22.（2.5分）Which artwork should be appreciated during storms? A.Spiral Jetty. B.Washington’s Crossing. C.The Lightning Field. D.A Line Made By Walking. 23.（2.5分）What is special about the last piece? A.It focuses on preservation. B.It stresses story-telling. C.It can’t be sold to museums. D.It uses unusual materials. (共4小题，每小题2.5分，满分10分) When I shopped for a new car seven years ago, my focus was on style, size, and color. This time, I found I had to learn such new terms as range anxiety and one pedal driving because, for the first time, I was in the market for an electric vehicle(EV). When I asked the dealer how long the battery could last, he assured me that range anxiety was not a big problem now. “More than 50 EV models today go more than 500km per charge, with some topping 800. Plus, the number of public charging stations has doubled in the past five years. 64 percent of Americans live within two miles of one,” he explained. The dealer added that EVs also used their energy much more efficiently than gas cars, with some 90 percent of their power moving the car, compared to 25 percent for conventional vehicles. “The loss of energy in the form of heat is why you could fry eggs on the engine!” he said. “In addition, gas cars also have many more parts, making upkeep and repairs about 40 percent more costly per mile driven. With no oil to change, EVs also require little routine maintenance.” There was still a lot to learn. But when I got behind the wheel, I thought the dealer should have marketed drivability to me first. I was glad to find that I could put my foot on the brake （制动器） less frequently. Depending on the setting selected, the car could often be stopped without touching the brake. I was especially pleased that the ride was amazingly smooth and that the car could go from zero to 100km/h astonishingly fast! “That smooth ride is partially due to the battery on the bottom that allows the car to better hug the road,” the dealer explained. “And since the battery provides immediate power to the car, EVs speed up much faster.” 24.（2.5分）What was the dealer doing in paragraph 2? A.Explaining a new term to readers. B.Trying to reduce the author’s range anxiety. C.Introducing EV models to the author. D.Showing the latest developments in the US. 25.（2.5分）Why are gas cars less efficient than EVs? A.They run too fast. B.They have more functions. C.They are very heavy. D.They produce a lot of heat. 26.（2.5分）What did the author like most about EVs? A.The comfort and ease of use. B.Their environmental impact. C.The low costs of maintenance. D.Their much simpler structures. 27.（2.5分）What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A.To persuade readers to buy EVs. B.To stress EVs’ advantages. C.To share his shopping experience. D.To compare two types of cars. (共4小题，每小题2.5分，满分10分) As the prices of electricity are rising rapidly in the US, residents wonder whether the air-conditioning (AC) should be turned off when they head to work during the day. Some say that turning off the AC when they’re gone for a few hours is the most energy-efficient, cost-saving method. Others swear it’s better to leave it running continuously. But experts say there are a lot of factors to consider when deciding which AC habit saves the most energy and money. “If you’re gone for 15 minutes, you don’t get any gain by turning off your AC,” said Elizabeth Hewitt, an urban planning expert. “But as a general rule, if you’re going for your workday, you’ll always save energy by turning it off.” In some climates, however, turning off the AC might not be a good choice. In wet climates like Florida, air inside the home can become even wetter when the AC is turned off. “Wet air is not only harder to cool, but may also cause damage to the furniture and electronics in the house,” Hewitt warned. “How much energy you can save also depends on the kind of home you live in,” Hewitt added. “If you live in homes built with heavy materials like bricks that hold in cool air longer, it makes sense to turn off the AC even if you’re stepping out for just a few hours.” Hewitt suggested that smart thermostats are a handy tool to remove the mental burden of adjusting the AC multiple times a day. They can raise the temperature when no one is home to conserve energy and lower it when people return. Gregor Henze, a professor at the University of Colorado Boulder, agreed, “According to the US Department of Energy, adjusting our thermostat by 4-6℃ for eight hours a day can save up to 10% a year on heating and cooling. Air conditioning for residential buildings in the US accounts for about 4-7% of the nation’s total energy consumption. That’s a lot.” 28.（2.5分）What can be inferred from the first paragraph? A. Air-conditioning costs rise rapidly in the US. B. Americans are concerned about AC pollution. C. People agree on how to use the AC efficiently. D. Experts have simple solutions to save energy. 29.（2.5分）Why is it a bad idea to turn off the AC frequently in summer in Florida? A.It is extremely hot in the state. B.The houses are built with bricks. C.The wet air will cause damage. D.It won’t affect energy consumption. 30.（2.5分）What might Elizabeth Hewitt suggest people do when they’re away for work? A. Set the temperature a few degrees lower. B. Turn off the AC if they leave for 15 minutes. C. Replace the building materials with better ones. D. Let the AC run at a relatively higher temperature. 31.（2.5分）What might be Gregor Henze’s attitude to smart thermostats? A.Skeptical. B.Approving. C.Critical. D.Unclear. (共4小题，每小题2.5分，满分10分) Amit Lennon’s Artificial Intelligence Portrayal project compares real studio portraits (肖像) with AI-generated replacements, exposing unsettling questions about reality. Using Adobe Firefly, Lennon inputs basic facial measurements and brief self-descriptions to create digital copies. The AI results, while astonishingly similar, often erase imperfections, producing idealized versions with shiny hair and spotless skin. Lennon’s goal is to stimulate reflection on how AI constructs images and what prejudices shape its outputs. The project reveals AI’s tendency to strengthen social assumptions. A man of mixed background is given a bright red beard, while female subjects are smoothed into standardized beauty standards. “It beautifies people a lot,” Lennon notes, highlighting gender discrimination toward polished perfection. Some subjects, like student Lola Choo Antopolski, think their AI versions look cold and unnatural. It’s like a mix of their own features and what the computer guessed. The tool uses common images and social media styles, which makes the results look very similar and like they have an “Instagram filter (滤镜美化).” This takes away people’s unique qualities. AI is getting better very quickly, and it’s becoming hard for us to tell what’s real and what’s artificial. Tools can make super-realistic images and videos. This is causing a big problem with trust. Lennon says it feels like we’re being tricked, because it’s hard to tell if something was made by a person or a machine. The rise of AI sets off legal battles over intellectual property. Many AI tools learn from copyrighted materials taken without permission, which raises concerns about misuse. Niek Dunmur of the Association of Photographers warns AI risks pushing out human creators. Lennon adds that companies favor AI for its cost-free, copyright-free outputs, but portraiture’s uniqueness resists easy reproduction. While AI popularizes image creation, Lennon argues it lacks the intentionality of photography: “There is no camera.” His work invites debate about technology’s role in art—whether it enhances or weakens human expression. As AI develops, society must tackle its moral limits and figure out what importance we attach to things like being imperfect, being real, and the unique little details that come from a human point of view. 32.（2.5分）Why did Amit Lennon start the Artificial Intelligence Portrayal project? A.To show AI’s ability in portraits. B.To compare AI and traditional portraits. C.To promote Adobe Firefly. D.To reflect on AI’s image creation. 33.（2.5分）What is the main concern about AI-generated images in paragraph 2? A.They lose people’s unique qualities. B.They are too similar to each other. C.They are not realistic enough. D.They are too difficult to create. 34.（2.5分）What leads to the legal fights over AI? A.AI uses illegal copyrighted materials. B.AI tools are too expensive to develop. C.AI is not accurate enough in its outputs. D.AI is replacing human workers too quickly. 35.（2.5分）What does Amit Lennon think about the role of AI in art? A.It greatly enhances human expression. B.It lacks careful planning of photography. C.It completely replaces traditional art forms. D.It makes art more accessible to everyone.

Here are the things you can do right now — and the science behind why they work. Take deep breaths.       36      . Studies show that deep breaths can lower blood pressure and slow heart rate. It also reduces the stress hormone associated with a range of issues, including poor sleep and brain fog. Controlled breathing has even been linked to better emotional regulation and memory. Hug it out — or hold a hand.       37      . Even a quick hug or a gentle touch can increase the release of a chemical that helps reduce stress and foster feelings of connection. In one study, couples who hugged for 20 seconds before a stressful task had lower heart rates and blood pressure than those who didn’t.       38      . Research shows that self-touch — such as placing a hand over your chest, rubbing your arms, or gently touching your face — also works equally well. Take a 5-minute walk. This simple movement brings more blood flow and oxygen to the part of the brain responsible for focus, planning, and decision-making. At the same time, it activates the neural network in our brain that is strongly linked to daydreaming and creative insight.       39       Step outside for sunlight and fresh air. Just a few minutes in natural light can improve heart rate variability and boost mood. One review found that the most dramatic improvements in both mood and heart rate variability happen within the first two minutes outdoors.       40      ? Actually, any green space will do! A.No parks nearby B.Feeling very stressed C.Touch matters for human beings D.Deep breathing is a proven tool for clearer thinking E.But we don’t need another person to get similar benefits F.Few things affect the nerve system as immediately — or as powerfully — as deep breathing G.So short walks are really effective to reduce your stress when you are doing such activities 三、完形填空(共15小题,共15分) (共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) In Alaska, many villages have no roads connecting them with hospitals in the cities.

Outside of my classroom I fearfully opened the envelope that held my academic report card. “Please, I just want to pass.” I prayed in my heart. “Promoted to fifth grade,” the report read. I was letting out a loud sigh of relief when my eyes went to the words on the bottom. “Teacher: Mrs. Walitt.” “What?” I looked closer, certain I’d misread, but now the name seemed to jump off the page in 3D. This wasn’t possible. Mrs. Walitt taught first grade. My one comfort about school was that this woman-literally my least favorite teacher on the planet-would never teach me. I was no favorite of hers either. I was self-conscious about my stutter （口吃）, and tried to make up for it by speaking and reading out loud. That past year I’d been frequently pulled from my regular class for special tutoring in a room shared with Mrs. Walitt’s first graders. One day early on, Mrs. Walitt called me out from across the room. “Quiet down,” she said. “You’re interrupting us.” I instantly responded. “Oh, just leave me alone!” I said. “You’d better be glad you’re not in my class, young man. I’d put you in your place.” I’d been taught by my parents to respect my teachers. But all my frustration came pouring out of me. I said, “You will never be my teacher.” No matter how badly I did in school, I was sure I wouldn’t have to repeat first grade. For the rest of the year, Mrs. Walitt and I didn’t have much communication. Now Mrs. Walitt was having the last laugh. On the first day of fifth grade, I sat unhappy in the last row. “Welcome to fifth grade,” she announced once we were settled. “I expect students to come to school ready to learn...” She went on and on, talking about the orders. I felt quite bored. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 But the moment she began teaching, an entirely different Mrs. Walitt appeared. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ With Mrs. Walitt’s constant encouragement, my grades improved beyond belief. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ 第1页 共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
