湖北武汉市部分高中2026-2027学年上学期收心考高三英语试题 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Composition of E-Waste Nowadays, e-waste is one of the world’s fastest-growing waste streams. Waste electronics contain harmful substances like lead and mercury, posing serious environmental and health risks. However, e-waste also represents a valuable “urban mine”. It holds an estimated 31 million tonnes of metals, 17 million tonnes of plastics, and 14 million tonnes of glass. One tonne of circuit boards can contain up to 800 times more gold than a tonne of gold-bearing rocks. Despite this, less than 1% of rare earth elements are recycled. Recycled e-waste is a valuable resource for sustainable manufacturing(制造业). Its metals, e.g. gold and copper, are reused in electronics, vehicles, and renewable energy systems. Recovered plastics find new life in durable products, while glass is processed into building materials. This circular(循环的)approach cuts energy use, reduces mining demand, and transforms waste into industrial resources, supporting both the economy and the environment. The e-waste management market is projected to more than double by 2027. While 81 countries have adopted Extended Producer Responsibility laws, collection rates still fall behind policy goals. To improve recycling, governments should strengthen EPR laws, and invest in facilities. Institutions can promote research and public awareness. Individuals should properly drop off e-waste at collection points, fix items rather than throw them away, and support brands with strong environmental commitments. 21. What percentage do screens and cables account for in all e-waste compositions? A. 12%. B. 14%. C. 17%. D. 60%. 22. What is a key advantage of e-waste compared to natural mines? A. It contains a greater variety of rare elements. B. It provides more recoverable non-metals. C. It can be richer in precious metals. D. It works better as building materials. 23. What is suggested for individuals to help recycle e-waste? A. Invest in formal recycling facilities. B. Launch public awareness campaigns. C. Set clear personal take-back plans. D. Choose repair over replacement. B When I was twelve, my grandmother gave me an unusual task: to water her garden not with a hose(水管), but with a small, bent tin cup. “The hose is too fast,” she said, adjusting her straw hat. “It doesn’t know when to stop. The cup makes you look at every leaf.” I grumbled, naturally. It took an hour to water what could have been done in ten minutes. I marched back and forth to the rain bucket, splashing water onto the thirsty soil. But as the weeks passed, the forced slowness began to change things. I started noticing the small dramas of the garden: the determined climb of a ladybug, the slight droop of a begonia(秋海棠)that needed extra care, the way the soil darkened when it had truly had enough to drink. One afternoon, I found a cocoon (茧) attached to a tomato vine. If I had been blasting away with the hose, I would have knocked it off. Instead, I sat and watched. Over the next few days, I saw the miracle of transformation. When the butterfly finally emerged, drying its wings in the sun, I felt a sense of ownership. I hadn’t just watered a plant; I had protected a life. Years later, working as a high-speed data analyst, I often felt overwhelmed by the constant flow of information. It was like the hose — too fast, too much, blindly covering everything. One day, stressed and burnt out, I remembered the tin cup. I turned off my monitors and printed out just one complex dataset. I sat with it, pencil in hand, looking at every “leaf” of data. My boss was skeptical of my slow pace, until I found a critical error that the automated algorithms had missed. “How did you spot that?” he asked. I smiled, thinking of the tomato vine. “I stopped using the hose,” I said. 24. Why did the grandmother ask the author to water the garden with a tin cup? A. To save water during a drought. B. To punish the author for laziness. C. To encourage the author’s patience. D. To replace the broken hose. 25. What does “the small dramas of the garden” refer to in the second paragraph? A. The conflicts between different plants. B. The subtle and lively details of nature. C. The fascinating behaviors of garden creatures. D. The plays performed in the garden. 26. How did the author’s childhood experience influence his career? A. It made him focused and detailed. B. It directly inspired his career choice. C. It inspired him to take up gardening. D. It taught him to appreciate physical work. C When a Los Angeles hospital authorized handwriting courses for its doctors, it highlighted a modern contradiction: in an era of digital perfection, the simple act of writing by hand remains critically important. The chief of staff explained to Science Daily, “Many of our physicians don’t write clearly.” The consequences can be severe, as seen in an unfortunate case where a chemist’s misreading of a doctor’s prescription (处方) led to a patient’s death. Even though many medical records are now stored on computers, physicians still spend a lot of their time writing notes on charts or writing prescriptions by hand. Clarity in handwriting isn’t merely an aid to communication. In some significant way, writing by hand primes the brain for learning to read. Psychologists Mueller and Oppenheimer found that “Laptop note takers’ tendency to write down lectures verbatim (逐字地) rather than processing information and reframing it in their own words has a negative effect on learning.” In their experiments, students typing notes processed information shallowly, while those writing by hand were forced to summarize, leading to better understanding. The slower pace of pen and paper acts as a cognitive filter, activating the brain for deeper comprehension. Yet, the skill is fading rapidly. Researchers worry that abandoning the pen for the keyboard will lead to any number of unforeseen negative consequences. Anne Mangen, who studies how technology transforms literacy, notes that typing, being more “abstract and unconnected,” could have profound implications; this decline is similar to a form of cultural pollution, a loss of a fundamental human capacity. A common misconception is that we have simply traded an inefficient tool for a superior one. However, like the loss of face-to-face interaction, this trade for efficiency comes at a hidden cost. We are sacrificing irrecoverable ways of learning and knowing. Ultimately, a child who masters the keyboard but cannot sign their name is not a symbol of progress. Handwriting is not a relic; it is a vital thread in the fabric of our cognition, and its wearing demands our immediate attention. 28. Why did the hospital introduce handwriting courses? A. To follow the latest handwriting trend. B. To prevent potential medical accidents. C. To improve doctors’ handwriting skills. D. To promote the use of handwritten records. 29. What can we learn from Mueller and Oppenheimer’s research? A. Typing facilitates meaningful understanding. B. Note-taking blocks verbatim comprehension. C. Keyboarding ensures higher learning efficiency. D. Handwriting benefits deeper cognitive engagement. 30. What is the cost of abandoning handwriting? A. The pollution of a traditional culture. B. The decline in communication efficiency. C. The over-reliance on modern technologies. D. The fading of an essential cognitive ability. 31. What does the author suggest we do? A. Preserve handwriting as a tradition. B. Value the crucial role of handwriting. C. Encourage keyboard use in education. D. Introduce handwriting courses widely. D Over the past few years, areas in East Asia, North America and northern Europe have been colder than normal during some periods of winter. This has left many debating whether Earth is experiencing global warming or not, but scientists have shown that Earth’s warming trends are responsible. When people in the Northern Hemisphere hear North Pole or Arctic region, they automatically think of the hemisphere’s northernmost area, the home of extremely cold weather during late fall and winter. During this time, very little, if any, sunlight reaches the Arctic’s stratosphere, one layer of Earth’s atmosphere that exists six to 20 kilometers above Earth’s surface. To balance the temperature difference with that of the warm equatorial region, an area of low pressure called the polar vortex forms and flows in a complete circle around the pole. This occurs inside the stratosphere (平流层) about 10 kilometers above the Earth’s surface. While this belt of strong winds is usually stable and able to keep the cold air contained, it can be destroyed by loss of sea ice, due to global warming. This results in surface temperatures changing, changes which make them less stable. If this happens, the polar vortex may shift, slipping off the North Pole and moving south, or it can separate into two or three rings that form in multiple places far south of the pole. This stretching or distortion of the polar vortex also makes influences on the path of the polar jet stream, which is responsible for Earth’s weather. This jet stream, along with three other primary jet streams in different parts of the world, is located in the troposphere (对流层), the atmospheric layer just below the stratosphere. The polar jet stream’s air currents blow from 177 kilometers an hour to over 400 kilometers an hour and from west to east between 50 degrees and 60 degrees latitude — think from France to Norway. The differences in cold polar air and warm mid-latitude air form the polar jet stream, and its movement prolongs periods of cold or warm weather in different regions. Large temperature differences between the Arctic and mid-latitudes cause the polar jet stream to be strong and move straight, keeping the cold in the north. Because the Arctic is warming at a fast pace, the temperature difference between it and mid-latitudes is decreasing, making the polar jet stream slower and weaker. That, in turn, makes the stream more likely to bend north and south. When it bends far enough, the barrier between Arctic and mid-latitude air can dive down to Mexico, taking Arctic temperatures along for the ride. Although heat and cold are considered opposites, in the case of climate, the former can cause the latter. 32. What causes the polar vortex to form? A. Sea ice loss in the Arctic B. The polar jet stream’s bending C. Strong winds inside the troposphere D. Temperature differences with the equator 33. Why do some winters get colder globally? A. Arctic warming weakens jet stream B. The polar vortex becomes stronger C. Less sunlight reaches Arctic D. The Arctic loses its cold air 34. The word “prolong” (para 5) is closest in meaning to ______. A. control B. regulate C. extend D. shorten 35. What is the main focus of the passage? A. The Relationship between Warming Earth and Colder Winters. B. The Potential Reasons for Earth Becoming Warmer and Warmer. C. The Strange Phenomenon of Warming Trends with Colder Weather. D. The Temperature Differences between the Arctic and Mid-latitude Areas. 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。 How to Protect Yourself from Creative Burnout I like January because it gives me a chance to reflect — not only on the past year, but also on my long-term goals and the progress I have made. However, my recent experience has shown me how easily creative burnout can happen. ____36____ First of all, being in control of your own life is not as easy as it sounds.

His parents were always occupied with work. They left home early in the morning and came back late at night. Tom often ate dinner alone and went to bed without a goodnight kiss. For him, there were no family games, no city tours, no weekend outings. One day, Tom's parents brought home a gift—a smart watch. "This watch has a special friend inside,” Mom said with a smile. "Her name is Ling. She can talk to you, answer your questions, and even tell you stories.” A wave of anticipation swept over Tom as he put on the watch and pressed the button. A gentle voice came out, "Hello, Tom! I'm Ling. Nice to meet you!” Tom's eyes lit up. He had never received such an interesting gift before. From that day on, Ling became Tom's closest companion. Every morning, Ling would say, "Good morning, Tom! Have a great day at school!” Whenever Tom encountered difficulties with his homework, Ling would patiently provide thorough explanations. After Tom got into bed, Ling would tell his favorite tales about brave knights and magical lands. Sometimes, when Tom felt scared of the dark, Ling would sing softly to comfort him. To Tom, Ling was more than a voice; she was family. His parents noticed Tom's change. "See? Our little boy seems much happier now,” Dad said one evening. Mom agreed, "The watch really helps,” relieved. They thought their son was no longer lonely. What they didn't know was that sometimes, after Ling had finished her stories, Tom would lie awake in the darkness, listening to the silence that filled the room. He loved Ling, but he couldn't help thinking: if only Mom and Dad were here. One afternoon after school, Tom tripped and fell on the way home. The watch hit a rock with a loud crack. When Tom picked it up, the screen was dark. He pressed the button again and again, but nothing appeared. "Ling? Ling, are you there?” he called desperately. There was no reply. 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。 Tom had no choice but to turn to his parents for help. ______________________________________________________ At that moment, both Mom and Dad saw clearly what they had missed. __________________________________________ 第5页/共5页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $阅读理解A Composition of E-Waste 21.

They left home early in the morning and came back late at night. Tom often ate dinner alone and went to bed without a goodnight kiss. For him, there were no family games, no city tours, no weekend outings. One day, Tom's parents brought home a gift—a smart watch. "This watch has a special friend inside,” Mom said with a smile. "Her name is Ling. She can talk to you, answer your questions, and even tell you stories.” A wave of anticipation swept over Tom as he put on the watch and pressed the button. A gentle voice came out, "Hello, Tom! I'm Ling. Nice to meet you!” Tom's eyes lit up. He had never received such an interesting gift before. From that day on, Ling became Tom's closest companion. Every morning, Ling would say, "Good morning, Tom! Have a great day at school!” Whenever Tom encountered difficulties with his homework, Ling would patiently provide thorough explanations. After Tom got into bed, Ling would tell his favorite tales about brave knights and magical lands. Sometimes, when Tom felt scared of the dark, Ling would sing softly to comfort him. To Tom, Ling was more than a voice; she was family. His parents noticed Tom's change. "See? Our little boy seems much happier now,” Dad said one evening. Mom agreed, "The watch really helps,” relieved. They thought their son was no longer lonely. What they didn't know was that sometimes, after Ling had finished her stories, Tom would lie awake in the darkness, listening to the silence that filled the room. He loved Ling, but he couldn't help thinking: if only Mom and Dad were here. One afternoon after school, Tom tripped and fell on the way home. The watch hit a rock with a loud crack. When Tom picked it up, the screen was dark. He pressed the button again and again, but nothing appeared. "Ling? Ling, are you there?” he called desperately. There was no reply. 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。 Tom had no choice but to turn to his parents for help. _______________ At that moment, both Mom and Dad saw clearly what they had missed. _______ Tom had no choice but to turn to his parents for help. Clutching the broken watch, he hurried home. Like usual, the house lay empty and quiet. But this time, the loneliness felt unbearable — not because Ling was gone, but because the people he truly needed were absent. He waited and waited. It was nearly midnight when his parents finally returned. They were alarmed to see Tom curling up on the sofa, face wet with tears. “What happened, Tom?” Mom rushed over. Wordlessly, he held out the broken watch. Dad soon fetched his toolbox trying to fix it, but in vain. Seeing this, Tom couldn’t contain himself any longer and burst into desperate sobs. Between gasps, he poured out his loneliness—the silent dinners, the empty house, the longing for someone to be there. At that moment, both Mom and Dad saw clearly what they had missed. They realized that no watch, however smart, could ever take the place of their presence. Immediately, Mom wrapped her arms around Tom, apologizing, “I’m so sorry. We thought the watch was enough, but we were wrong.” Dad knelt beside them, his voice thick with guilt. “From now on, we’ll be home earlier. No more lonely dinners.” Together they drew up a family schedule — Tuesday night board games, Friday pizza-making, Sunday afternoons in the park. They promised to make it a weekly routine and wrote it on the family calendar in bright colors. That night, the family $
