Jaw‑dropping architecture is not new. We still feel amazed at creative buildings designed with modern technology. Let’s look at four world‑famous special buildings. Krzywy Domek (Crooked House), Poland, 2004 It looks as if it has stepped out of a tale, with its walls bent on purpose and its windows placed at strange angles. Walking inside makes visitors feel dizzy, though the building is filled with shops, restaurants and offices. Its shape comes from famous Polish paintings. Cube Houses, Rotterdam, 1984 The designer got his idea from trees in forests. Each house looks like a large box set at an angle, with one point resting on the ground. Inside are comfortable homes with wooden floors. However, the furniture has to be specially made to fit the strange walls. The group also includes shops and a small museum. Bubble Palace, Cannes, France, 1989 The designer believed buildings should follow natural curves rather than straight lines. Consequently, it is made up of a series of round structures, like huge balls. Inside, ten bedrooms, gardens, pools and an open‑air theatre offer visitors a wonderful view of the nearby sea, and the round rooms allow light to pour in from every direction. Guangzhou Opera House, China, 2010 Its designer was inspired by rocks shaped by river water. Seen from above, it looks like two smooth stones lying side by side. Made of steel, glass and dark stone, the building shows how modern technology can be used to create special curves. Inside, concert halls and activity areas welcome visitors from home and abroad. Creative architects draw inspiration from nature, stories or daily life. These unusual buildings show how imagination can change modern architecture. 21.What can we do inside Krzywy Domek? A. Enjoy seaside views. B. Visit local shops. C. Watch museum shows. D. Attend concerts. 22.What do the four buildings have in common? A. They were finished in 1984. B. They all lie beside the sea. C. They have unusual shapes. D. They mainly serve artists. 23.What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To inform readers of creative buildings. B. To advertise some local businesses. C. To entertain readers with funny architecture. D. To persuade readers to be innovative. B Leonardo da Vinci (1452‑1519), a celebrated Italian master, was far more than an exceptional painter. He was also a brilliant engineer, scientist and inventor, gaining remarkable achievements across diverse fields. At fourteen, he began systematic art learning in Florence and received seven years of professional training. Afterwards, he worked independently for nobles across Italy and the French king. Though he started his career as a painter, he spent most time serving as an engineer. He painted extremely slowly and often left works unfinished; besides, frequent wars made city defence builders more in demand than artists. Still, he stole spare time to complete plenty of timeless masterpieces. After his death, numerous handwritten notebooks were uncovered. Full of delicate drawings of creatures, plants and ahead‑of‑time inventions like aircraft and tanks, these works also contained precise anatomical (解剖学的) studies of human bodies. What surprised people most was that most of the notes were written in reverse handwriting, readable only with a mirror. For centuries, the notebooks remained unpublished, his scientific thoughts hidden from the world. Da Vinci never drew a clear line between art and science. He insisted that solid theory was the foundation of painting, and that his painting skills helped him record scientific findings clearly. Curious about everything around him, he combined art, invention and science so perfectly that they seemed to become one. Few can match his extraordinary gift, yet his determined exploratory spirit inspires generations to keep creating, thinking and improving the world constantly. Da Vinci was not a painter who happened to love science, but a genius who regarded art and science as two sides of the same coin. 24.Why did da Vinci mainly work as an engineer? A. Noble employers disliked his painting style. B. He believed engineering brought greater rewards. C. He was lazy and failed to finish most of his artworks. D. His paintings progressed slowly and wars needed more engineers. 25.What does the underlined word “reverse” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Written backwards. B. Hard to read properly. C. Beautifully shaped in form. D. Easy to make out and follow. 26.What was da Vinci’s opinion on art creation? A. Art comes merely from science. B. Painting needs a sharp eye. C. Art needs scientific theory support. D. Science and art have much in common. 27.Which best describes Leonardo da Vinci? A. Modest and productive. B. Talented and all‑round. C. Cautious and far‑sighted. D. Ambitious and idealistic. C It may seem to go against common sense, but in a time of increased technological reliance, pursuing a liberal arts education has never been a better bet — because machines don’t actually have genuine intelligence. AI is merely an imitation (模仿) of what makes us human — our unique abilities to lead, advocate, create, envision and innovate. A machine will never possess the emotional intelligence needed to manage a team, engage in intercultural communication, or resolve messy human conflicts that resist logic. Judgment, rooted in human experience, will never be AI’s strength. In response to workforce demands, our liberal arts education has become more focused on career preparation. Most liberal arts colleges now offer students much exposure to data science, technology and business concepts, in addition to more conventional liberal arts fields of study. Beyond that, a recent study by researchers at Ithaka S+R looked at the economic value of a “liberal” education as opposed to a “narrow” education. Their findings show that greater exposure to liberal arts core features, including a broad curriculum (课程), experiential learning and engagement with diverse perspectives, is positively associated with greater academic achievement. Research also supports the view that studying the arts, humanities and social sciences has value in the marketplace. A recent study revealed that 93% of employers rate written and oral communications, critical thinking and ethical decision‑making as the most essential skills in job candidates. This is exactly what a broad liberal arts education delivers. There is no one‑size‑fits‑all education. In an AI‑driven world, an education focused on gaining the knowledge and skills that are uniquely human is the best preparation for career longevity. After all, today’s cutting‑edge technology may be outdated tomorrow — or performed by machines with more accuracy and efficiency than any human could ever have. But the ability to do what only humans can do is likely to be in high demand. Think of it this way: Career‑ready skills will help you land a job, but only mastering the most human skills will prepare you to change the world. 28.What does the underlined phrase “a better bet” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean? A. A truly wise and worthwhile choice to make. B. A secret trick unknown to most other people. C. A rare lucky chance that arises quite unexpectedly. D. A risky attempt with highly uncertain outcomes ahead. 29.What is the characteristic of current liberal arts education? A. It gives equal weight to all academic disciplines. B. It has replaced conventional liberal arts fields entirely. C. It guarantees graduates higher employment rates than before. D. It integrates professional preparation with traditional academic fields. 30.What can we learn from the studies in paragraphs 3 and 4? A. A narrow education offers limited and unclear returns. B. Job candidates require a more specialized education today. C. Liberal arts education brings practical and economic benefits. D. Students’ academic success depends entirely on experiential learning. 31.Which of the following is the most suitable title for the text? A. Can Liberal Arts Survive in an AI‑Dominated Era? B. Why Skills Still Outweigh Rapid Technological Progress? C. How to Gain Competitive Edge Through High‑Tech Learning? D. Is Rapid Technological Advancement Threatening Our Future Jobs? D A team of scientists recently published one of the most comprehensive efforts yet to understand just how much carbon great whales absorb from the ocean, and the value that this presents in the fight against climate change. “Whales are large‑bodied animals, and they live for a long time. Many of them migrate over vast distances,” said study leader Heibi Pearson, a marine biologist at the University of Alaska Southeast. “And so they have the potential to have these huge impacts on the ecosystem, including the carbon cycle.” In their most direct impact, whale bodies hold an enormous amount of carbon that would otherwise be in the ocean or atmosphere. Twelve great whale species hold an estimated 2 million tons of carbon in their bodies, the authors found. And that’s just the living members of the whale family. Another 62,000 tons of carbon is kept under the sea every year in the form of whale falls. When a whale dies in open water and sinks into the deep, a lifetime of collected carbon goes with it. It can take up to 1,000 years for water and elements at the bottom of the sea to cycle back up to the surface, which means that carbon is effectively trapped for that long. In addition, whales’ waste facilitates the growth of organisms at the base of the marine food chain, promoting the growth of carbon‑consuming life throughout the ecosystem. However, whale populations still haven’t recovered from the destructive effects of industrial whaling. Commercial hunting in the 19th and 20th centuries decreased the total mass of whales on the planet by 81%, according to the authors. “Whales alone are not going to solve climate change, but thinking about whales as playing a role in the carbon cycle can help motivate whale conservation,” said Andrew Pershing, a co‑author of the study. “There are a lot of win‑wins there, and I think that’s very true of a lot of natural climate solutions.” 32.How do whales mainly help fight climate change? A. Speeding the carbon cycle. B. Consuming carbon during migration. C. Taking in carbon from the atmosphere. D. Keeping carbon locked inside their bodies. 33.How does whale waste help the ocean? A. It cleans the polluted seawater. B. It promotes the growth of sea life. C. It cools the surface of the ocean. D. It provides food for deep‑sea fish. 34.What can we learn from the text? A. Whaling stopped a century ago. B. Whale populations are rising fast. C. Whales’ total mass fell dramatically. D. Whales mainly feed on ocean plants. 35.What is implied in Andrew Pershing’s words? A. Climate solutions bring no benefits. B. Whale protection is a waste of time. C. Whales alone can solve climate change. D. Protecting whales aids climate efforts. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 We often hear of people taking long journeys across the globe, with a handful even travelling into space. However, the most significant journey lies within us — the journey of self‑discovery. Without knowing who you truly are and what you desire from life, you may live in ignorance and confusion. Understanding your true self brings greater confidence and inner peace. 36 Here are four practical suggestions. Identify what you value about yourself What do you most like about yourself, something you are proud of? It could be about how creative you are, your ability to relate to others or about your goal‑keeping skills at football. 37 Figure out what awakens your passion What makes your eyes light up? 38 It could be performing on stage, helping your dad fix that bug in his computer or working on school projects. 39 Familiar surroundings feel secure, yet self‑exploration requires facing uncomfortable situations. Trying challenging activities enables you to observe your feelings, thoughts and reactions under pressure. You will grow with such self‑awareness. Ask yourself who you want to be 40 Is it a person who leads with kindness, or one who never stops learning? Continuously questioning your life purpose in daily life encourages reflection and raises self‑awareness. The journey of self‑discovery never ends; it keeps evolving. Life experiences shape and develop us. As Arianna Huffington put it, “The journey towards self‑discovery is life’s greatest adventure.” A. Step out of your comfort zone B. How can you start this journey? C. What is your true purpose in life? D. Reflect on the person you hope to become. E. This will tell you where you get your true joy. F. It helps you recognize the abilities you hold dear. G. This could tell you who you really are, or want to be. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节 完形填空（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Standing on a lakeshore, I marveled at countless tiny stones under my feet. Once hard and angular (有棱角的), every stone’s sharp edges had been 41 by years of water erosion (侵蚀). A sudden thought hit me: what 42 lies in these worn stones? No mountain remains towering for good, for all peaks fade away over centuries. Like these stones, I have undergone 43 inner changes with time. My stubborn (倔强的) temper has softened, and I grow more willing to understand those around me. I was once a stone with razor‑sharp edges. Decades of life hardships washed over me and rounded my corners step by step. Now I 44 rush to judge others, choosing instead to seek harmonious coexistence. Still, I am no 45 stone, as humans are born with complicated feelings and inner struggles. Two years ago, I saw a(n) 46 at a restaurant while traveling in the Pacific Northwest. The owner politely asked a customer to leave for ignoring the indoor mask rule posted on the door to 47 public safety. Though the owner disliked the rule too, he 48 it. The customer argued angrily and refused to 49. Watching them, I could 50 with both parties, for I used to be just like that man. Driven by youthful recklessness (鲁莽，轻率), I always insisted on my opinions and opposed everything 51 with my will. 52, I failed to put myself in others’ shoes, losing inner peace and the chance of constant self‑improvement. Jars (广口瓶) contain far more rounded stones than sharp ones. Smooth stones adjust themselves and yield to 53 others. Time is like flowing water pounding against stones; it wears down our 54, broadens our views of life, and 55 us into gentle, tolerant and patient people on life’s long journey. 41.A. smoothed B. carved C. sharpened D. hardened 42.A. principle B. insight C. wisdom D. story 43A. dramatic B. sudden C. minor D. visible 44.A. merely B. rarely C. eagerly D. quickly 45.A. cold B. solid C. plain D. emotionless 46.A. mistake B. failure C. event D. conflict 47.A. ensure B. threaten C. endanger D. ignore 48.A. fought against B. stuck to C. reflected on D. cared about 49.A. explain B. apologize C. cooperate D. admit 50.A. agree B. empathize C. connect D. go 51.A. complete B. identical C. inconsistent D. familiar 52.A. Nervously B. Surprisingly C. Regrettably D. Fortunately 53.A. accommodate B. impress C. obey D. follow 54.A. ambition B. dignity C. prejudice D. restriction 55.A. pushes B. gets C. leads D. shapes 第二节：语法填空（共 1 篇，10 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 15 分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 What began as a teenage fascination with Chinese kung fu eventually led German TCM practitioner (从业人员) Vukan into an entirely different world — one defined not by punches and kicks, but by pulses, herbs, and the philosophy of balance. As a child, Vukan 56 (draw) to Chinese martial arts by Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, and six years after starting Wing Chun in Hamburg at 18, he travelled to Henan Province specially 57 (study) Shaolin kung fu. Yet within three months of arriving in China, he fell so ill that he realized he could no longer keep practising kung fu, struggling to adapt to the environment and the intense 58 (train). It was then that Vukan got access 59 TCM. He had taken up martial arts 60 (original) to improve his health, and discovered that TCM’s ideas matched this goal perfectly. Treating emotions, diet, sleep and lifestyle as 61 integrated system, TCM highlights health preservation, 62 (argue) that health relies on active self‑care instead of merely doctors and medicine. It also holds that disease is best treated 63 it arises, rather than after it has taken hold. In 2006, he entered Zhejiang Chinese Medical University to learn Chinese and TCM from scratch (从零开始). Having studied TCM for almost 20 years, he now teaches medical English there, helping Chinese practitioners break language barriers. He also runs a website founded in 2008 to share TCM with 64 (globe) lovers, hoping to bridge Eastern and Western medicine 65 popularize professional TCM knowledge worldwide. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分 40 分） 第一节（满分 15 分） 新学期伊始，学校倡导低碳校园行动。校英语报发起题为 Going Green in the Classroom 征文活动。请你针对教室内普遍存在的一类资源浪费现象，写一篇短文投稿，内容包括： 1.描述该现象； 2.提出合理化改善建议。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为 80 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Going Green in the Classroom 第二节（满分 25 分） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Lila watched crowds of students gather around a school notice saying the school radio station needed a second host. Butterflies filled her stomach — she had always dreamed of being a campus host. The radio station was hugely popular. It played music, delivered school notices and fun programmes for all students to listen to at lunchtime. Hazel, the main host, was confident and talented, deeply admired by everyone. In contrast, Lila was born shy and got nervous speaking in public. Still, she decided to give it a try, though one classmate made fun of her: “You? You can’t even read aloud in class without stumbling (磕磕绊绊)!” Not discouraged, Lila read her textbooks aloud every evening to practise. At first she paused and misread words often, yet gradually her reading and pronunciation improved greatly. She even borrowed public speaking books from the library too. While her classmates chatted happily, she focused on improving her skills steadily. The interview finally came. Holding the cold microphone, Lila’s hands turned sweaty. She performed perfectly on the prepared text after countless practice, but failed badly in the improvised (即兴的) part. “Sir, I’ve practised for months and will keep trying hard if given a chance,” she begged hopefully. Mr. Brooks smiled gently. “I admire your determination and fine reading ability, but live broadcasts are full of surprises: delayed guests, broken microphones and unexpected calls. You must move listeners with genuine feelings instead of just reciting scripts (稿). Your weakness lies not in your voice or hard work; you know nothing about how a live show works. Go and learn from an experienced host.” No one passed the interview. Everyone left except Lila. Reflecting on his words, she realized her biggest fear was unexpected moments. Rather than feeling defeated, she gained a clear goal: she would observe how Hazel fixed mistakes and filled awkward silences on air. Suddenly it struck her — she could work as an assistant on the radio team to learn how to become a qualified host. 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。 She asked Mr. Brooks for permission and took up minor work at the station. One day, Hazel suddenly fell ill and couldn’t host the program. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $大连育明高级中学2026-2027高三上学期9月英语试题参考答案 第一部分听力（满分30分，每小题1.5分） 1-5 ACCBA 6-10 ACBBB 11-15 CAAAB 16-20 CBACB 第二部分阅读（满分50分，每小题2.5分） 21-23 BCA 24-27 DACB 28-31 ADCA 32-35 DBCD 36-40 BFEAD 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） 41-45 ACABD 46-50 DABCA 51-55 CBACD 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 56.was drawn 57.to study 58.training 59.to 60.originally 61.an 62.arguing 63.before 64.global 65.and 第四部分写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） One possible version: Going Green in the Classroom A common energy waste in our classrooms recently catches my attention:lights are often left on when no one stays inside,especially when all students leave for dinner after afternoon classes,which causes plenty of unnecessary electricity waste To solve the problem,we can arrange for the last student leaving the classroom to check and turn off all lights.Besides,small reminder stickers pasted on the door can work as a constant warning for everyone.

One day,Hazel suddenly fell ill and couldn't host the program.Mr.Brooks asked Lila to take over the program for a day.Lila was a little nervous at first,but she quickly calmed down and used all the skills she had learned to handle all kinds of emergencies.The program was very popular with students,and Lila finally became an excellent host.
