四川南充市部分校2026-2027学年高三上学期9月开学学业评估英语试卷

高三英语参考答案、提示及评分细则 听力部分录音稿 (Text 1) M: Excuse me, I thought there was a bank around the corner, but all I see is a post office. W: Oh, the bank moved to the next block last month. It’s right behind a bookstore. (Text 2) W: Did you see the game last night? It was supposed to kick off at 7:30. M: I did. But due to the heavy rain, it was delayed for half an hour. (Text 3) M: Good morning. I’m here for the 10 o’clock meeting with Mr. Henderson. W: Certainly. May I have your name and the company you’re representing, please? I’ll let him know you’ve arrived. (Text 4) W: I’d like to change my room if possible. M: Is there something wrong, madam? W: Well, it faces the main street and the traffic noise is driving me crazy. I can’t get any sleep. (Text 5) M: Have you seen the flat yet? It has two bedrooms and a very modern kitchen. W: Not yet. But the price seems a bit high for this neighborhood. Is the electricity included in the rent? (Text 6) M: Morning, Sarah. You look a bit out of breath. Did you run all the way from the parking lot? W: Don’t even ask, Mike. I got stuck on the West Highway again. I think it’s time that I gave up my car for work. M: I feel you. I stopped driving months ago. Have you thought about taking the new subway line? W: I’ve considered it, but the nearest station is a 20-minute walk from my front door, which isn’t ideal in this heat. M: Well, why not ride a bike to the station? This way, you could get some exercise. W: That’s actually a brilliant suggestion. (Text 7) W: Hey, David. Are you still up for a movie tonight? I saw an advertisement for that new science fiction film, Interstellar Journey. M: To be honest, I’ve had enough of spaceships lately. How about that new comedy, The Unexpected Guest? W: Fine by me. Let me check the schedule… Okay, there’s a showing at 7:00. Shall we meet at 6:45 right by the mall entrance? M: Actually, I need to pick up a birthday gift for my sister at the bakery first, so I’ll probably be there as early as 6:15. Why don’t we just meet directly at the ticket office at 6:50? W: Sounds like a plan. (Text 8) M: Can I talk to you for a minute? I’ve been staring at my suitcase for an hour, but I haven’t packed a single thing for my move to Canada this September. W: Oh, I remember that feeling! The “pre-departure panic”. Are you worried about the academic workload at the university? M: Not really. I’m confident about my major. It’s more about the daily life. I’m afraid I won’t be able to understand the local conversations at once. W: That’s perfectly normal. My brother felt the same when he moved to Toronto last year. He highly recommended the “Global Buddy” program. It’s a two-week session before the semester starts. They pair you with a local student, and it’s completely free for international freshmen. M: I’ll look into the registration tonight. (Text 9) M: Susan, I saw your post on LinkedIn. Are you really moving away from web development to mobile apps? W: Yes, Mark. I’ve spent the last six months designing a health-tracking app called “RestWell”. As a developer, I realized most products on the market focus purely on burning calories or counting steps, but they ignore the foundation of health: recovery. M: So, how does it work? Does it just track how many hours I sleep? W: It’s much better than that. It uses the phone’s sensors to record your sleep cycles and even monitors the noise level in your room to see if environmental factors are waking you up. Plus, it has a feature to track your water intake, which is also linked to sleep quality. M: That sounds great. Is it going to be a paid app? W: We have a “Freemium” model. The basic tracking is free, but the advanced version is $10 a month. However, we’re offering a 50% discount now. (Text 10) W: Good morning, everyone. I’m here to introduce the “Green Heart” volunteer project, a community initiative that has been running for five years. We’ve noticed that many elderly people in our neighborhood are living alone and feeling increasingly isolated from the digital world. Therefore, our project this year is specifically designed to support the local nursing home. We are looking for patient volunteers to visit every Saturday morning. Your role isn’t to fix their computers or do their grocery shopping; instead, we want you to engage them in “Story Hours” — either reading current news to them or simply listening to their life stories. This isn’t just about charity; it’s about building bridges between generations. If you’re interested in joining us, please don’t come to the Student Office as it’s currently under repair. Instead, go to our school’s official website, click on the “Community” tab, and complete the digital application form by next Friday. We look forward to working with you to make this summer a bit brighter for our seniors. 参考答案 1～5 ACBBC 6～10 ABABC 11～15 BACCB 16～20 ACAAB 21. A 22. D 23. A 24. D 25. B 26. A 27. C 28. D 29. C 30.

When it comes to choosing a career, various factors come into play. In my view, passion stands out as the most crucial element. The reasons are straightforward. First, passion fuels motivation. When we are deeply interested in what we do, work feels less like a burden and more like a fulfilling journey, enabling us to persist through challenges. Moreover, passion often drives excellence, as we are more willing to invest time and energy to improve our skills, which can lead to greater opportunities and long-term success. In short, it is passion that truly guides us toward a meaningful career. 第二节 One possible version: Just then, something flashed in my mind. I wiped my tears and looked around, my eyes searching desperately through the endless legs. And then, I caught sight of it — a brief flash of bright purple, moving slowly through the crowd near the information desk. I had never been so grateful to see those ugly dinosaurs in my entire life. Without a second thought, I rushed to that unmistakable spot of color, my eyes fixed on that purple glow — a lighthouse guiding me through the storm of strangers. When I finally found my dad, I hugged him tightly. I buried my face in his shoulder, crying from guilt and relief. All those years I had complained about his pants, thinking they were embarrassing and silly. But he had been right all along. He had worn them not to draw attention, but to make sure I could always find him, no matter how crowded the place was. I looked at those dinosaurs through tearful eyes and for the first time, they didn’t look silly at all — they looked like love. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $这是英语科听力部分。现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club, can I help you?

In this guide, we will share some of the best things to do there. Visit Guaita Tower Known as the oldest of the three towers, Guaita Tower sits high atop a mountain. Standing here gives you a glimpse into the Republic’s medieval (中世纪) past, and breathtaking views that stretch across the landscape. Inside the tower, you can explore its historical significance, including displays about its role in defense and the Republic’s history. The architecture with thick stone walls and narrow openings is an amazing example of medieval engineering. Attend Changing of the Guard Ceremony This ceremonial event happens at Palazzo Pubblico every hour and showcases the traditions of San Marino. You’ll see guards in traditional uniforms performing the change with precision and elegance. The ceremony includes music and ceremonious movements, making it enjoyable for all ages. Arriving a few minutes early ensures you have a good spot to watch the ceremony as both locals and tourists gather at the square to observe. Hike Monte Titano As you hike Monte Titano, you’ll enjoy the fresh air and the sounds of nature. The most popular route is the Cammino del Titano, which provides well-marked paths perfect for hikers of all levels. Along the hike, you’ll come across rocky outcrops and peaceful forests. This makes it an ideal getaway from the fast-paced city life. Discover the Museum of Curiosities This unique museum houses a collection of oddities. As you explore, you’ll encounter strange inventions, odd medical tools, and surprising historical facts. It’s a journey into the unusual and unexpected. The museum offers guided tours, where knowledgeable staff share fascinating stories behind each item. This adds depth to your experience and often leads to lively discussions among visitors. 21.

What are you advised to do to watch the ceremony at Palazzo Pubblico? A. Book a spot on a website. B. Wear a traditional uniform. C. Ask locals for some advice. D. Reach the square in advance. 23. What can you enjoy when hiking Monte Titano? A. Natural beauty. B. Free guided tours. C. Fast-paced city life. D. Timely medical support. B In Pampa Miraflores, most families rely on cocoa farming — a livelihood so unstable that children are often called upon to work the fields to help keep their family afloat. Merlyn had a different dream and he is currently working to complete his first year as a civil engineering student at a top university in Lima. The road to success was not an easy one, and was paved with hard work and support from a strong family. Merlyn’s parents, John and Nayci, know this struggle well. Merlyn’s father once dreamed of becoming a mechanic, but he had to drop out of school to work and support his family. Nayci’s journey was equally arduous. She loved her studies, braving a dangerous, hour-long walk to school over rough roads. However, when her mother fell ill, her educational journey came to a sudden end. “My husband grows cocoa on the farm, but he doesn’t have a fixed income,” Nayci explains, adding that the family helps Merlyn with day-to-day expenses. To make ends meet, she works two roles — as an early childhood educator and a social worker. Together, her two salaries total approximately $435 a month. It’s a challenge supporting a family and a son studying in the capital, but a vital lifeline has helped them bridge the gap. When Merlyn was 5, the family enrolled in Juntos, a national conditional cash transfer program. Through the program, families receive about $57 every two months, provided they fulfil specific responsibilities: keeping their children in school and ensuring they attend regular health checkups. For Nayci, the impact is felt in small but essential moments of daily life. “Now the children are healthier and learning better,” she says. “Most of the time, we have nothing at home, and then the money arrives — we use it to buy food, a notebook, or shoes. “ Such investments are paying off. Merlyn has become a symbol of hope for the entire community. His success has created a ripple effect among other children at the local school: If Merlyn did it, we can too. 24. What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Boring. B. Bittersweet. C. Harmful. D. Struggling. 25. What can we learn about Merlyn’s parents? A. They didn’t value their opportunity to study. B. They had difficulty supporting his education. C. They benefited from Juntos in their childhood. D. They were unwilling to send him to the capital. 26. How does Merlyn’s family mainly spend the money from the program? A. Purchasing some necessities. B. Sponsoring their community. C. Celebrating special occasions. D. Having family health checkups. 27. What impact does Merlyn’s success have on his community? A. It allows neighbors to form close bonds. B. It reminds others to mind their health. C. It inspires more students to study hard. D. It drives more organizations to donate. C Scientists in Australia are in a desperate race to rescue a newly identified “zombie tree” before it disappears from Queensland’s rainforests. They discovered that the tree, Rhodamnia zombi, can no longer produce flowers, fruit or seeds — it is alive but unable to spread in the wild. The zombie tree, which was just discovered in 2020 and was described as a new species last year, is suffering from a fungal disease called myrtle rust. Myrtle rust was first detected in Hawaii in 2005 and in Australia in 2010. Since then, it has spread widely as it is carried by wind, birds, people, machinery and insects. “There’s little you can do about stopping the spread,” said lead author Rod Fensham. “The weakness of myrtle rust is that it needs a certain kind of environment. But Australia is the perfect environment for it.” “Left to its own devices, the trees in the wild will be the living dead,” said Fensham. Because infected wild trees are no longer reliably making seeds, scientists are cloning the surviving plants using cuttings that can then be raised in nurseries and later moved to safer areas where the climate is less favorable to myrtle rust. Another option is to use fungicide (杀真菌剂) to keep trees in infected areas alive long enough for the plants to produce seeds. Scientists may then be able to identify young trees that show more tolerance to myrtle rust. In the best-case situation, those hardier plants could be returned to the forest someday. “That sounds like a real long shot,” Fensham said. “But actually, all the steps have been done by enthusiastic people in the last few years. There’s a real will and capability of rescuing these trees.” Researchers are looking into a tree-saving treatment that works similarly to a vaccine (疫苗). However, the more realistic plan is to focus on cultivating (培育) cuttings from the surviving plants in a safe environment. “The species needs time and space without being constantly hit by myrtle rust to hopefully express some resistance,” Fensham said. 28. What can be learned about myrtle rust? A. It is a newly identified species. B. It fails to reproduce in the wild. C. It falls victim to Australia’s climate. D. It has an incredible capacity for spread. 29. What does Fensham think of the approaches mentioned in paragraph 5? A. Labor-free but ineffective. B. Affordable but unrealistic. C. Challenging but achievable. D. Time-consuming but money-saving. 30. Why are Fensham’s words mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To define a concept. B. To support a viewpoint. C. To provide a new proposal. D. To doubt previous strategies. 31. What’s the best title for the text? A. Attacking Australia’s Forests Secretly B. Lacking the Ability to Produce Seeds C. Saving a Tree Species From a Disease D. Keeping Infected Trees Living Longer D Psychologists have long debated whether the human mind can be explained by a single, unified theory. Now, artificial intelligence (AI) is entering that debate, offering a new way to explore how the mind works. In July 2025, a study published in Nature introduced an AI model called Centaur. Built on standard large language models and refined using data from psychological experiments, Centaur was designed to model human cognitive (认知的) behavior. It reportedly performed well across 160 tasks, including decision-making, executive control, and other mental processes. The results drew widespread attention and were seen as a possible step toward AI systems that could copy human thinking more broadly. However, researchers of a new study published in National Science Open in December 2025 argue that Centaur’s apparent success may come from overfitting. In other words, instead of understanding the tasks, the model may have learned to recognize patterns in the training data and reproduce expected answers. To prove this idea, the researchers created several new evaluation scenes. In one example, they replaced the original multiple-choice prompts (提示), which described specific psychological tasks, with the instruction “Please choose option A.” If the model truly understood the task, it should have consistently selected option A. Instead, Centaur continued to choose the “correct answers” from the original dataset. This behavior suggests that the model was not interpreting the meaning of the questions. Rather, it relied on learned statistical patterns to “guess” answers. The finding highlights the need for caution when assessing the abilities of large language models. While these systems can be highly effective at fitting data, their “black-box” nature makes it difficult to know how they arrive at their outputs. This can lead to issues such as hallucinations (幻觉) or misinterpretations. Although Centaur was presented as a model capable of modelling cognition, its biggest limitation appears to be in language comprehension. Specifically, it struggles to recognize and respond to the intent behind questions.

My goal will be to make leadership feel accessible and community feel intentional. 37 . As part of a special club at the university, I greet students each week, offering encouragement. One Sunday, I noticed a student hesitate at the entrance, clearly overwhelmed (不知所措). Instead of simply offering a greeting and moving on, I stopped and asked how she was doing. That brief moment of attention turned into a meaningful conversation, and she became cheerful. That interaction reminded me that leadership sometimes is about recognizing when someone needs to be acknowledged. As student body president, I will bring that same intentionality to student leadership. 38 . To change that, I will prioritize open communication by creating regular forums (论坛) where students can share concerns, ideas, and feedback in a welcoming environment.

I’ll also promote belonging by improving access to information and involvement opportunities. 39 , but they often feel frightened or unsure where to start. I will work to strengthen communication across campus through consistent updates, collaboration with student organizations, and visible leadership presence at events. 40 , so students feel encouraged to step outside their comfort zones. By creating an environment where students feel welcomed, supported, and empowered, I believe our campus can become a place where everyone feels encouraged to lead, serve, and grow. A. A campus can have endless opportunities B. Students are confident that their voice matters C. I have got many opportunities to interact with others D. My goal will be to make involvement inviting rather than overwhelming E. I’ve learned the power of belonging through my experience of serving others F.

But there was one thing about our trips that embarrassed me terribly: his “train station pants”. They were a pair of bright purple pants with orange skateboarding dinosaurs printed all over them. Every time we went to a train station, he would wear the pants. People would stare and some would even point and laugh. I could feel my face burning with shame as I was a shy and sensitive girl. “Dad, please don’t wear the pants,” I would beg him. “They’re so ugly and embarrassing! Everyone else is looking at us!” He would just smile gently and shake his head. “The pants have a special purpose,” he would say. “If we ever got separated, you would spot me immediately in a crowd, or you could describe me to others easily — ‘My dad is wearing purple pants with orange skateboarding dinosaurs.’ No one else would be wearing that, right?” I didn’t buy his explanation. I thought he just liked being the center of attention. So I kept complaining, and he kept wearing the pants. My attitude changed one summer when I was about eight years old. We were at a busy train station during the holiday season. The place was packed with travelers rushing in every direction. As usual, my dad was wearing his silly pants. As we were checking the train information board, a wave of people suddenly pushed through. One moment my dad was right beside me; the next moment, he was gone. Panic flooded over me as I scanned the faces of the people around me, but my dad was nowhere to be seen. I tried to shout “Dad”, but my voice got lost in the noisy crowd. Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized I was completely alone in this crowded train station. 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。 Just then, something flashed in my mind. _______________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I finally found my dad, I hugged him tightly. ______________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
