B Marianne North was an early female explorer, naturalist and painter. She traveled around the world, painting plants, people and places. She left an extraordinary legacy behind. Marianne looked after and traveled with her father for much of her life. After his death in1869, Marianne, financially independent at the age of forty, set off alone to explore and paint the world. During her long artistic journey around the world, Marianne displayed impressive courage and determination. Faced with numerous challenges in her pursuits, Marianne proved unaffected and would laugh it off. In Italy, when her landlord pretended he had no rooms for them except those on the fifth floor, Marianne fearlessly responded with “so to the fifth we went, and gained all the better view”. Marianne’s most famous supporter was Charles Darwin. Darwin’s power of bringing out other people’s best points extended to Marianne whom he advised to see and paint the Australian vegetation (植被) which was unlike that of any other country. Taking Darwin’s advice as a royal command, she went at once and eagerly returned in 1881 to sit with Darwin and his children under a shady tree to look closely at her paintings together. Marianne’s paintings and writing give detailed information on the location, habitat and uses of many of the plants she painted. On her travels, she collected and discovered plants that were new to botanical science at the time. A pitcher plant she painted in Borneo, for example, was unknown to science at the time she painted it. When botanists saw it, the painting caused great excitement. Through her art, she sought to inspire and educate people about the natural world. 24. What made Marianne’s traveling around the world at forty possible? A. Personal fame. B. Family support. C. Financial freedom. D. Darwin’s advice. 25. What does the author show by mentioning the event in Italy? A. Marianne’s painting skills. B. Marianne’s sense of humor. C. Marianne’s physical strength. D. Marianne’s positive attitude. 26. How did Marianne react to Darwin’s suggestion? A. She followed it immediately. B. She considered it a great honor. C. She discussed it with his children. D. She improved her techniques first. 27. What can we infer about Marianne’s painting of the pitcher plant? A. It was her most famous work. B. It helped identify a new species. C. It was painted to attract botanists. D. It proved her exceptional painting skills. C A report finds that greenhouse gas concentrations rose to a record high in 2024, with more carbon dioxide (CO2) , methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) trapped in Earth’s atmosphere, which will further worsen global warming. From 2023 to 2024, CO2 levels increased by 3.5 parts per million (ppm) — the largest annual rise since modern records started in 1957. This is mainly because humans keep using fossil fuels, wildfires have increased sharply, and carbon sinks like oceans and forests (which naturally take in CO2) take in less. In 2024, atmospheric CO2 reached about 423. 9 ppm, 152% higher than pre-industrial levels (before 1750) . CH4 and N2O, the second and third most important greenhouse gases, also hit record highs, with CH4 up 166% and N2O up 25% from pre-industrial times. CO2 is the most important greenhouse gas affecting climate, accounting for about 80% of the total heating effect since 1990. Greenhouse gases trap heat by absorbing radiation, pushing up global temperatures. This causes extreme weather, rising sea levels, food supply problems and other risks that threaten billions of people. In terms of the emission of greenhouse gases, the top three countries in 2024 were China, the US and India. It has been stressed that the heat trapped by CO2 and other greenhouse gases is greatly worsening the climate and precipitating more extreme weather, making emission reduction very important not just for the climate but also for economic security and community well-being. Scientists are deeply concerned about a dangerous cycle: Global warming is weakening natural systems like forests and oceans, which are vital for taking in CO2. As these systems lose their capacity to pull CO2 from the air, more of the gas remains in the atmosphere, which in turn speeds up warming further. To address this pressing issue, we must urgently reduce our use of fossil fuels and enhance our monitoring systems. 28. What is the main cause of the record rise in CO2 levels? A. An obvious decrease in methane levels. B. Extreme weather and melting polar ice. C. A worldwide increase in forest planting. D. Multiple man-made and natural factors. 29. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 3? A. To explain the main cause of global warming. B. To list the reasons for rising CO2 levels. C. To show the importance of CO2 to people. D. To introduce a new scientific study. 30. What does the underlined word “precipitating” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Ignoring. B. Causing. C. Controlling. D. Transforming. 31. Which is the problem that concerns scientists? A. Our ways of watching over the climate. B. Unexpected slowdown in global warming. C. People’s continued dependence on fossil fuels. D. Global warming weakens nature’s ability to take in CO2. D Ageing is a natural process that affects everyone over time. It happens mainly because the cells in our body slowly wear out. While signs like wrinkles, gray hair, and age spots are visible on the outside, ageing also deeply impacts internal organs, physical strength, and mental function. As we age, our cells renew themselves more slowly. Their membranes (the walls around the cells) harden, which can affect how nutrients enter and waste leaves the cell. Damaged tissues take longer to repair, and overall organ performance may not be as good as before. In the brain, a protective coating around nerve fibers wears down, sometimes making it harder to recall memories or learn new things. Certain physical changes become more noticeable with time. For example, cartilage (软骨) in the nose and ears can change, which may make these features appear larger. Muscle and bone mass also decrease, leading to reduced strength and height. While ageing begins from early life, research suggests its pace may quicken around certain ages — studies point to noticeable shifts in the mid-30s, mid-40s, early 60s, and late 70s, often linked to changes in immune function, heart health, and metabolism. Hearing and vision also commonly change with age. Many older adults experience presbycusis, a gradual hearing loss due to wear on the inner ear. Eyesight often declines as eye muscles weaken, lenses lose flexibility, and tear production decreases. These changes are normal, but sudden or severe loss should be checked by a doctor. Although ageing cannot be fully stopped, certain habits can support healthy ageing. Regular aerobic and strength exercise helps maintain heart health, muscle mass, and balance. A balanced diet rich in vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins is also beneficial. Currently, such a way of life remains the most reliable way to slow down ageing. 32. What primarily drives the ageing process? A. The visible changes in our skin and hair. B. The gradual damage to the body’s cells. C. The reduced function of internal organs. D. The loss of muscle and bone mass over time. 33. What can we learn about brain ageing? A. It makes brain cells renew faster. B. It improves nutrient intake in brain cells. C. It weakens one’s learning ability. D. It always leads to serious memory diseases. 34. What works best for healthy ageing? A. Regular hospital physical checks. B. Taking various anti-ageing pills. C. Sustained healthy daily habits. D. Continuous medical research. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. What Happens to the Body During Ageing? B. How Can We Live Longer and Healthier? C. How Does Our Body Slow Down Ageing? D. What Is the Story of Healthy Ageing? 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。 Boredom is a common part of life, across time and around the world.

I stood at the bus stop, annoyed at myself for forgetting my umbrella. Just then, Maya - a quiet newcomer from our class - stepped under the small shelter. I’d always wanted to talk to her, but she seemed shy, often drawing in her notebook during class. “Hi,” I said, trying to sound casual. “Rain’s bad, right?” She looked a bit surprised, “Yeah, really bad.” The bus stop was tiny, and the rain was pouring sideways, making our skirts wet. I checked and found the bus was late. When I told Maya the bad news, she glanced at her watch, “If I miss this one, I might not make it home.” Hesitating for a while, she suggested, “We should wait in the store over there. Want to share my umbrella?” I nodded. She smiled and opened her purple umbrella. There were patches (补丁) on it as if someone had fixed it many times. “Sorry, it’s old,” she said. “My grandma gave it to me and purple was her favorite.” “It looks cool,” I replied. We leaned under the umbrella together. Suddenly it flipped (迅速翻转) inside out in the wind and we burst out laughing. When we reached the store, Maya shook off the umbrella and set it onto the stand by the door. Then she walked over, bought two hot chocolates, and handed me one. “My treat,” she said, wiping rain from her face. “For surviving the umbrella drama.” We sat by the window, enjoying drinks and watching the rain. After a pause, I decided to break the silence and asked why she was always drawing in her notebook during class. Her eyes lit up and she pulled it from her bag. “Want to see?” She flipped through a few pages, showing me her pictures inspired by small special things. “You make boring stuff magical,” I said admiringly. She laughed, and for a moment, it felt like we’d known each other longer than just one rainy afternoon. The rain stopped. A distant honk (喇叭声) made us look up. “The bus!” I shouted. We grabbed our things and ran like crazy. 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。 The moment we took seats, Maya whispered, “Wait ... where’s my umbrella?” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, I walked into the classroom and handed the umbrella to Maya. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 高三开学考英语试卷 第 页（共8页）1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 湛江市第二十一中学2026-2027学年第一学期高三开学考 英语答案 第2部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 21-23 DBA 24-27 CDAB 28-31 DABD 32-35 BCCA 36-40 DEFGA 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 DBABC 46-50 BDCAC 51-55 ADDCB 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 56. as 57. to breathe 58. damaged 59. cultural 60. matches 61. herself 62. which 63. methods 64. an 65. truly 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分）参考例文 Dear Tom, I’m glad to hear from you! My word for this school year is “Perseverance.” As a Senior 2 student, I’ve faced heavier coursework and more challenging exams. There were times I felt overwhelmed, especially when preparing for the end-of-term tests. But instead of giving up, I kept pushing forward—waking up earlier to review lessons, asking teachers for help, and practicing weak subjects repeatedly. This word reminded me that steady effort, not quick success, truly matters. What’s your word for this year? Looking forward to your reply! Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分）参考例文 The moment we took seats, Maya whispered, “Wait ... where’s my umbrella?” We’d left it at the store! My heart sank as I remembered. “I’ll go back for it after school,” I promised. Maya nodded, looking worried. After school, I hurried to the store and found the umbrella right where we’d left it, safe and sound. Without hesitation, I picked it up and went home, expecting to see Maya the next day. The next day, I walked into the classroom and handed the umbrella to Maya. “Here it is,” I said, smiling. “I promised I’d bring it back, didn’t I?” Maya’s face lit up with relief as she clutched it tightly. Maya’s eyes sparkled with gratitude. “Thank you,” she whispered. From that day on, our friendship blossomed. We did everything that close friends did. We often shared laughters and secrets, just like we had on that rainy Tuesday, all thanks to a purple umbrella and a promise kept. 阅读理解答案详解 A【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了中华恐龙园、横店影视城、长隆海洋王国和苏州乐园四个适合游玩的景点及其特色与注意事项。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据China Dinosaur Land部分中的“As a national 5A-level attraction in Changzhou, it blends dinosaur science, thrilling rides, and live performances.(作为常州的国家5A级景区，它融合了恐龙科普、刺激游乐设施和现场表演。)”可知，中华恐龙园的主要特点是寓教于乐。故选D项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Hengdian World Studios部分中的“It features various theme areas, including The Palace of Emperor Qin, the Palace of Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the Guangzhou Street·Hong Kong Street.
