B During her graduate studies, Ayelén Valko was greatly fascinated by the delicate microscopic world of cells. As a genetic researcher at the University of Buenos Aires, she devoted herself to the study of autophagy (自噬). With professional microscopic skills, she observed subtle cellular changes and sought to capture the unique beauty of microscopic life through artistic illustration. Though blessed with a lifelong passion for painting, Valko never gave up academic research. Instead, she systematically improved her artistic techniques while pursuing her doctoral and postdoctoral studies. From 2016, she received professional scientific illustration training. During her research in Germany, she kept creating artworks inspired by her academic findings. Many of her works were featured on journal covers, laying a solid foundation for her artistic career. Upon completing her postdoctoral fellowship in 2022, Valko made a life-defining decision one year later to quit laboratory research and become a full-time scientific artist. She adopts mixed media to visualize tiny cellular and subcellular structures, turning abstract microscopic phenomena into vivid, accessible artistic works. What distinguishes her creations from ordinary artworks is the combination of scientific precision and artistic originality. Rather than producing rigid, lifeless copies of cell structures, she integrates personal feelings and symbolic metaphors into her works, bridging the gap between professional biology and public cognition. She is especially drawn to autophagy, a process that destroys cell components while maintaining cell survival. To her, this kind of contradictory biological force makes a constant source of artistic inspiration. Valko has launched two biological art series to interpret growth and transformation in nature. Apart from artistic creation, she commits herself to public science education, making professional cellular knowledge accessible to students of all ages. Looking ahead, she intends to create large-scale artworks of cellular organelles (细胞器官) to broaden the boundary and influence of her scientific art. 4. What did Valko intend to do with her professional knowledge in graduate school? A. Build up her own art style. B. Finish a book on traditional painting. C. Record microscopic cell beauty via art. D. Change the rules of biological research. 5. What can be concluded about Valko’s early experience? A. She got inspired from her artistic career. B. She balanced art skills and academic studies. C. She became a professional scientific artist in 2022. D. She quit her PhD study while receiving art training. 6. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 imply? A. Biological processes are impossible to explain in art. B. Destruction in cells is important in biological research. C. Conflicting biological processes fuel her creative passion. D. Biological research can be carried through artistic imagination. 7. Which words can best describe Valko? A. creative and instructive. B. committed and generous. C. gifted and curious. D. determined and reserved. C A team of five students from two top Chinese universities has set off heated public discussions on consumer fairness by filing a landmark lawsuit against L’Oreal, revealing the “Pink Tax”, a subtle but common commercial prejudice that has long been overlooked. Through strict comparison, the students discovered a strange pricing imbalance between two L’Oreal facial cleansers. With identical ingredients, functions and packaging standards, the female-targeted version was priced 67 yuan higher, exposing unreasonable gender-based pricing bias in the beauty industry. The gap was spotted accidentally when a student bought a female cleanser for 149 yuan online. In sharp contrast, the brand’s male cleanser of the same volume cost only 82 yuan, creating a significant price difference. Remarkably, the two products advertise identical mild and moisturizing effects. Further checks of official ingredient lists confirmed their core components and effects were almost the same, with consistent packaging costs. The only minor difference lies in promotional wording on the female product’s page, a marketing adjustment that cannot account for its excessive (过度的) price. The students defined the case as a typical “Pink Tax” phenomenon, in which women’s products are unnecessarily overpriced, putting female consumers at a disadvantageous position. To challenge this hidden commercial discrimination and protect consumers’ right to fair trade, the team filed a lawsuit for a full refund. L’Oreal agreed to offer a full refund but demanded a confidential commitment banning public discussion of the case. Believing the clause would set a negative example for future rights protection, the students declined the request. Finally, under court mediation (调解), they withdrew the lawsuit after receiving the refund. For the students, the closed case is only a starting point. They launched online discussions to popularize the harms of the “Pink Tax”, hoping to rid public consumption blindness. Their campaign aims to develop consumers’ critical thinking towards tricky commercial pricing and raise public awareness of wise consumption and legal rights protection. 8. What can be inferred about the two facial cleansers from the first three paragraphs? A. Distinct functional designs lead to different pricing strategies. B. No substantial product difference justifies their pricing distinction. C. Minor packaging differences reasonably account for their price gap. D. The male version features simpler components but better performance. 9. Why did the students file the lawsuit? A. To obtain economic refund for inferior products. B. To challenge gender discrimination in commercial pricing. C. To promote the revision of current consumer protection rules. D. To expose false promotional behaviors of international brands. 10. Which word can probably replace the underlined word in Paragraph 4? A. secret B. urgent C. necessary D. brief 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph about the students’ campaign? A. It is designed to gain public fame for their courageous behaviors. B. It aims to completely remove the Pink Tax phenomenon nationwide. C. It starts a journey to focus on raising public consumption awareness. D. It is believed to force enterprises to abandon all unfair pricing strategies. D Astronomers have found tentative but strong evidence of a planet passing in front of a star outside the Milky Way galaxy, pointing to a major new discovery in space exploration. If proven true, this newly found object in the Whirlpool Galaxy may become the first planet ever detected outside our galaxy, greatly broadening the range of known planetary systems in the universe. Generally, an exoplanet refers to a planet outside our solar system that moves around stars within the Milky Way. Before this discovery, all confirmed exoplanets were located within 3,000 light-years of Earth. In comparison, this new candidate planet is about 28 million light-years away, a distance far greater than that of any previously found exoplanet, which breaks the traditional limits of planetary research. The research stands out for its new observation method. “We are trying to open up a whole new area for finding other worlds by searching for planet candidates at X-ray wavelengths, a strategy that makes it possible to discover them in other galaxies,” Rosanne Di Stefano, who led the study, said in a statement. Even so, scientists admit that it is extremely hard to finally confirm the existence of this distant planet. “Unfortunately, to confirm that, we’re seeing a planet we would likely have to wait decades to see another transit (凌日),” co-author astrophysicist Nia Imara said in a statement. “And because of the uncertainties about how long it takes to orbit, we wouldn’t know exactly when to look, thus making accurate confirmation very difficult.” Apart from observation difficulties, the possible planet also carries special scientific meaning. Scientists believe that if the planet exists, it must have survived a huge star explosion that formed a nearby black hole. Even though it has survived such a violent event, the planet still faces hidden dangers in the future. Its partner star may explode one day and send powerful radiation, which will seriously threaten the planet’s safety. To improve this research, astronomers will examine large amounts of data collected by advanced space telescopes. They hope to find more planet candidates in distant galaxies. At the same time, they will continue to study star activities within the Milky Way, aiming to discover special planets in extreme space environments. 12. What can be inferred about the new extragalactic planet candidate? A. It orbits a star identical to the sun in our solar system. B. Its existence has been confirmed by repeated observations. C. It is far more distant than that of all previously found exoplanets. D. It belongs to the ready-known planetary systems in the Milky Way. 13. Why is it hard to confirm the candidate planet’s existence according to Nia Imara? A. The absence of predictable transit timing. B. The instability of its surrounding black hole. C. Its extreme distance blocking cosmic signals. D. The failure of advanced observational equipment. 14. Which of the following best reflects the researchers’ attitude toward the new finding? A. confident and convinced B. cautious and objective C. doubtful and negative D. skeptical and indifferent 15. What is the best title for the text? A. The first confirmed planet discovered in the Whirlpool Galaxy B. X-ray-based efforts to hunt for extragalactic planet candidates C. A potential planet beyond our galaxy draws scientists’ attention D. Challenges facing the research on far-away objects in the universe 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。 Heat Might Cloud Your Brain Heat waves are becoming more common, with severe health consequences due to extreme heat exposure. But even setting aside those direct risks, heat has severe indirect consequences. ___16___ A large number of studies have shown that high temperatures impair cognitive functions, which in turn leads to poor decisions. ___17___ When air temperature is too high, your body attempts to protect you by redirecting blood and energy to cool you down. Unfortunately, this changes blood flow to the brain, and although the exact mechanisms are not yet fully understood, this brings negative effects. ___18___ All these factors jointly weaken people’s ability to think and judge. Cedeño Laurent conducted a study on university students’ cognitive (认知的) functions during the 2016 heat wave in Boston, Massachusetts. Over 12 days in July, students completed two tests daily. One was a calculating task requiring addition or subtraction (减法) of numbers. The other was the Stroop task, a classic in cognitive psychology that measures the ability to control impulses (冲动) and direct attention. ___19___ Students in the non-AC (air conditioner) group gave fewer correct responses per minute on the calculating task and were slower on the Stroop task. The study mentioned above has limitations. To make up for this shortcoming, researchers have also begun to gather data from large-scale panel studies. Dr. Yin used data from the China Family Panel Study, tracking over 53,000 participants across eight years. The results show that both short-term and long-term heat exposure are associated with cognitive decline. ___20___ As climate change makes heat waves more frequent, people should be cautious about their decisions on hot days. It is advisable to avoid making important judgments during extreme heat and seek advice from others to reduce mistakes. A. Heat greatly affects people’s mental performance. B. High temperatures also cause tiredness and sleep impairment. C. The study included students living in different living conditions. D. Rising temperatures are closely linked with human physical health. E. It explains why hot weather always leaves people confused and absent-minded. F. The reasons why high temperatures affect the brain lie in physical body changes. G. Data indicates that hotter days will gradually lower people’s cognitive capacity. 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） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 It was pouring heavily when Judy pulled over her worn delivery van on a quiet suburban road.

Despite constant efforts and countless exercises, his scores remained unsatisfying, which gradually drained his confidence. Seeing no obvious progress, he was on the edge of giving up. One afternoon after school, his physics teacher Mr. Smith noticed Jake sitting alone in the empty classroom, staring blankly at his test paper covered with red marks. Sensing his frustration, Mr. Smith did not blame him. Instead, he sat down beside Jake and had a quiet talk with him. He told Jake that every seemingly smooth progress hid countless invisible attempts and temporary failures. Growth never happened overnight. Before leaving, Mr. Smith handed him an old, thick physics notebook. Its dark blue cover bore a small coffee stain, and its pages were worn at the edges. Inside the front cover lay the former student’s faded hand-written name. It belonged to one of his former students, who had once struggled with physics just like Jake but eventually made remarkable progress through steady persistence. Inside were detailed error analyses, sorted key points and sincere self-reflections. Tucked between its pages was a faded yellow note: “Don’t quit when confusion knocks.” This small treasure was meant to light Jake’s way forward. Jake held the notebook tightly, feeling a mixture of warmth and motivation. That night, he carefully went through every page. Inspired, he made up his mind to adjust his learning methods and stick to his goals. However, heavy schoolwork and repeated difficult problems soon tested his determination again and he found himself trapped in confusion once more. One evening, upset and absent-minded, Jake left the notebook on the playground and headed home. He only discovered his carelessness late at night. He vaguely recalled that only a girl in sports uniform was jogging on the playground when he departed. A wave of anxiety rose — he feared he would lose the precious gift and let Mr. Smith down. Paragraph 1: The next morning, Jake hurried to the playground. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Getting the notebook back, Jake cheered up. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三英语 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了Ayelén Valko，一位兼具科研与艺术能力的科学家，她将微观的细胞世界用艺术插画呈现，后来成为全职科学艺术家，还致力于科普教育。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“With professional microscopic skills, she observed subtle cellular changes and sought to capture the unique beauty of microscopic life through artistic illustration.(凭借专业的显微技术，她观察细微的细胞变化，并力求通过艺术插画捕捉微观生命独特的美)”可知，在研究生阶段，她想用专业知识借助艺术记录微观细胞之美。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Though blessed with a lifelong passion for painting, Valko never gave up academic research. Instead, she systematically improved her artistic techniques while pursuing her doctoral and postdoctoral studies.(尽管 Valko 一生热爱绘画，但她从未放弃学术研究。相反，她在攻读博士和博士后期间系统提升艺术技巧)”可推知，她兼顾了艺术技能学习与学术研究。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“She is especially drawn to autophagy, a process that destroys cell components while maintaining cell survival. To her, this kind of contradictory biological force makes a constant source of artistic inspiration.(她尤其痴迷自噬 —— 一种破坏细胞成分却维持细胞存活的过程。对她而言，这种矛盾的生物力量是源源不断的艺术灵感)”可推知，划线部分表示这种相互矛盾的生物过程激发了她的创作热情。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“What distinguishes her creations from ordinary artworks is the combination of scientific precision and artistic originality.(她的作品区别于普通作品的地方在于融合了科学严谨性与艺术原创性)”以及第五段“Apart from artistic creation, she commits herself to public science education, making professional cellular knowledge accessible to students of all ages.(除艺术创作外，她投身科普教育，让各年龄段学生都能看懂专业细胞知识)”可推知，她富有创造力，同时善于科普、具有启发性。 C A team of five students from two top Chinese universities has set off heated public discussions on consumer fairness by filing a landmark lawsuit against L’Oreal, revealing the “Pink Tax”, a subtle but common commercial prejudice that has long been overlooked. Through strict comparison, the students discovered a strange pricing imbalance between two L’Oreal facial cleansers. With identical ingredients, functions and packaging standards, the female-targeted version was priced 67 yuan higher, exposing unreasonable gender-based pricing bias in the beauty industry. The gap was spotted accidentally when a student bought a female cleanser for 149 yuan online. In sharp contrast, the brand’s male cleanser of the same volume cost only 82 yuan, creating a significant price difference. Remarkably, the two products advertise identical mild and moisturizing effects. Further checks of official ingredient lists confirmed their core components and effects were almost the same, with consistent packaging costs. The only minor difference lies in promotional wording on the female product’s page, a marketing adjustment that cannot account for its excessive (过度的) price. The students defined the case as a typical “Pink Tax” phenomenon, in which women’s products are unnecessarily overpriced, putting female consumers at a disadvantageous position. To challenge this hidden commercial discrimination and protect consumers’ right to fair trade, the team filed a lawsuit for a full refund. L’Oreal agreed to offer a full refund but demanded a confidential commitment banning public discussion of the case. Believing the clause would set a negative example for future rights protection, the students declined the request. Finally, under court mediation (调解), they withdrew the lawsuit after receiving the refund. For the students, the closed case is only a starting point. They launched online discussions to popularize the harms of the “Pink Tax”, hoping to rid public consumption blindness. Their campaign aims to develop consumers’ critical thinking towards tricky commercial pricing and raise public awareness of wise consumption and legal rights protection. 8. What can be inferred about the two facial cleansers from the first three paragraphs? A. Distinct functional designs lead to different pricing strategies. B. No substantial product difference justifies their pricing distinction. C. Minor packaging differences reasonably account for their price gap. D. The male version features simpler components but better performance. 9. Why did the students file the lawsuit? A. To obtain economic refund for inferior products. B. To challenge gender discrimination in commercial pricing. C. To promote the revision of current consumer protection rules. D. To expose false promotional behaviors of international brands. 10. Which word can probably replace the underlined word in Paragraph 4? A. secret B. urgent C. necessary D. brief 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph about the students’ campaign? A. It is designed to gain public fame for their courageous behaviors. B. It aims to completely remove the Pink Tax phenomenon nationwide. C. It starts a journey to focus on raising public consumption awareness. D. It is believed to force enterprises to abandon all unfair pricing strategies. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了几名大学生发现欧莱雅品牌两款洁面产品几乎完全一致但女性版本却价格偏高这一“粉红税”现象，学生提起诉讼维权后拒绝不合理保密要求，后续还发起线上科普活动，旨在提升消费者对不合理商业定价的辨别能力和理性消费维权意识。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“With identical ingredients, functions and packaging standards, the female-targeted version was priced 67 yuan higher, exposing unreasonable gender-based pricing bias in the beauty industry.(成分、功能和包装标准完全相同，针对女性的版本定价高出67元，暴露了美容行业不合理的性别定价偏见)”以及第二段“Further checks of official ingredient lists confirmed their core components and effects were almost the same, with consistent packaging costs. The only minor difference lies in promotional wording on the female product’s page, a marketing adjustment that cannot account for its excessive (过度的) price.(进一步核查官方成分表确认两款产品核心成分和效果几乎完全相同，包装成本也一致。唯一微小差异仅在于女性产品页面的宣传措辞，这种营销调整无法解释其过高的定价)”可推知，两款洗面奶本身不存在实质性产品差异，价格差异没有合理依据。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“To challenge this hidden commercial discrimination and protect consumers’ right to fair trade, the team filed a lawsuit for a full refund.(为了挑战这种隐藏的商业歧视，保护消费者公平交易的权利，该团队提起诉讼要求全额退款)”可知，学生发起诉讼的核心目的是挑战商业定价中的性别歧视。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“L’Oreal agreed to offer a full refund but demanded a confidential commitment banning public discussion of the case.(欧莱雅同意全额退款，但要求一份confidential承诺，禁止公开讨论此案)”可知，禁止公开讨论该案件说明欧莱雅要求学生保密，由此可知confidential含义为“保密的”，与secret词义最接近。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“For the students, the closed case is only a starting point. They launched online discussions to popularize the harms of the “Pink Tax”, hoping to rid public consumption blindness. Their campaign aims to develop consumers’ critical thinking towards tricky commercial pricing and raise public awareness of wise consumption and legal rights protection.(对于学生来说，结案只是一个起点。他们发起了在线讨论，宣传“粉红税”的危害，希望消除公众消费的盲目性。他们的活动旨在培养消费者对狡猾的商业定价的批判性思维，提高公众对明智消费和合法维权的认识)”可推知，学生的这次活动开启了一段专注于提升公众消费认知的旅程。 D Astronomers have found tentative but strong evidence of a planet passing in front of a star outside the Milky Way galaxy, pointing to a major new discovery in space exploration. If proven true, this newly found object in the Whirlpool Galaxy may become the first planet ever detected outside our galaxy, greatly broadening the range of known planetary systems in the universe. Generally, an exoplanet refers to a planet outside our solar system that moves around stars within the Milky Way. Before this discovery, all confirmed exoplanets were located within 3,000 light-years of Earth. In comparison, this new candidate planet is about 28 million light-years away, a distance far greater than that of any previously found exoplanet, which breaks the traditional limits of planetary research. The research stands out for its new observation method. “We are trying to open up a whole new area for finding other worlds by searching for planet candidates at X-ray wavelengths, a strategy that makes it possible to discover them in other galaxies,” Rosanne Di Stefano, who led the study, said in a statement. Even so, scientists admit that it is extremely hard to finally confirm the existence of this distant planet. “Unfortunately, to confirm that, we’re seeing a planet we would likely have to wait decades to see another transit (凌日),” co-author astrophysicist Nia Imara said in a statement. “And because of the uncertainties about how long it takes to orbit, we wouldn’t know exactly when to look, thus making accurate confirmation very difficult.” Apart from observation difficulties, the possible planet also carries special scientific meaning. Scientists believe that if the planet exists, it must have survived a huge star explosion that formed a nearby black hole. Even though it has survived such a violent event, the planet still faces hidden dangers in the future. Its partner star may explode one day and send powerful radiation, which will seriously threaten the planet’s safety. To improve this research, astronomers will examine large amounts of data collected by advanced space telescopes. They hope to find more planet candidates in distant galaxies. At the same time, they will continue to study star activities within the Milky Way, aiming to discover special planets in extreme space environments. 12. What can be inferred about the new extragalactic planet candidate? A. It orbits a star identical to the sun in our solar system. B. Its existence has been confirmed by repeated observations. C. It is far more distant than that of all previously found exoplanets. D. It belongs to the ready-known planetary systems in the Milky Way. 13. Why is it hard to confirm the candidate planet’s existence according to Nia Imara? A. The absence of predictable transit timing. B. The instability of its surrounding black hole. C. Its extreme distance blocking cosmic signals. D. The failure of advanced observational equipment. 14. Which of the following best reflects the researchers’ attitude toward the new finding? A. confident and convinced B. cautious and objective C. doubtful and negative D. skeptical and indifferent 15. What is the best title for the text? A. The first confirmed planet discovered in the Whirlpool Galaxy B. X-ray-based efforts to hunt for extragalactic planet candidates C. A potential planet beyond our galaxy draws scientists’ attention D. Challenges facing the research on far-away objects in the universe 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了天文学家发现银河系外一颗候选行星的初步有力证据，介绍它距离远超以往系外行星、借助X射线观测，同时确认它的存在难度很大，科学家会继续搜集数据开展研究。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“In comparison, this new candidate planet is about 28 million light-years away, a distance far greater than that of any previously found exoplanet (相比之下，这颗新的候选行星距离地球约2800万光年，远比此前发现的任何一颗系外行星都要遥远)”可知，这颗新候选行星比之前发现的所有系外行星遥远得多。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“And because of the uncertainties about how long it takes to orbit, we wouldn’t know exactly when to look, thus making accurate confirmation very difficult. (而且由于无法确定它的公转周期，我们无法准确知晓何时进行观测，这就使得精准确认其存在变得十分困难)”可知，无法预测凌日发生的时间，也就是缺少可预测的凌日时间，造成确认困难。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Astronomers have found tentative but strong evidence (天文学家已经找到了初步但有力的证据)”以及第三段“Even so, scientists admit that it is extremely hard to finally confirm the existence of this distant planet. (即便如此，科学家承认，要最终证实这颗遥远行星的存在极其困难)”可知，科学家手里有证据，但又承认很难最终证实，态度谨慎客观。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Astronomers have found tentative but strong evidence of a planet passing in front of a star outside the Milky Way galaxy, pointing to a major new discovery in space exploration. (天文学家已经找到了初步但有力的证据，证明有一颗行星从银河系外的一颗恒星前方经过，这标志着太空探索领域一项重大新发现)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要介绍银河系外这颗候选行星的特点、观测难点、科学意义以及后续研究计划，核心是介绍这颗河外候选行星的相关研究，“A potential planet beyond our galaxy draws scientists’ attention (一颗银河系之外的潜在行星吸引科学家关注)”最适合作为文章标题。 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。 Heat Might Cloud Your Brain Heat waves are becoming more common, with severe health consequences due to extreme heat exposure. But even setting aside those direct risks, heat has severe indirect consequences. ___16___ A large number of studies have shown that high temperatures impair cognitive functions, which in turn leads to poor decisions. ___17___ When air temperature is too high, your body attempts to protect you by redirecting blood and energy to cool you down. Unfortunately, this changes blood flow to the brain, and although the exact mechanisms are not yet fully understood, this brings negative effects. ___18___ All these factors jointly weaken people’s ability to think and judge. Cedeño Laurent conducted a study on university students’ cognitive (认知的) functions during the 2016 heat wave in Boston, Massachusetts. Over 12 days in July, students completed two tests daily. One was a calculating task requiring addition or subtraction (减法) of numbers. The other was the Stroop task, a classic in cognitive psychology that measures the ability to control impulses (冲动) and direct attention. ___19___ Students in the non-AC (air conditioner) group gave fewer correct responses per minute on the calculating task and were slower on the Stroop task. The study mentioned above has limitations. To make up for this shortcoming, researchers have also begun to gather data from large-scale panel studies. Dr. Yin used data from the China Family Panel Study, tracking over 53,000 participants across eight years. The results show that both short-term and long-term heat exposure are associated with cognitive decline. ___20___ As climate change makes heat waves more frequent, people should be cautious about their decisions on hot days. It is advisable to avoid making important judgments during extreme heat and seek advice from others to reduce mistakes. A. Heat greatly affects people’s mental performance. B. High temperatures also cause tiredness and sleep impairment. C. The study included students living in different living conditions. D. Rising temperatures are closely linked with human physical health. E. It explains why hot weather always leaves people confused and absent-minded. F. The reasons why high temperatures affect the brain lie in physical body changes. G. Data indicates that hotter days will gradually lower people’s cognitive capacity. 【答案】16. A 17. F 18. B 19. C 20.

Despite constant efforts and countless exercises, his scores remained unsatisfying, which gradually drained his confidence. Seeing no obvious progress, he was on the edge of giving up. One afternoon after school, his physics teacher Mr. Smith noticed Jake sitting alone in the empty classroom, staring blankly at his test paper covered with red marks. Sensing his frustration, Mr. Smith did not blame him. Instead, he sat down beside Jake and had a quiet talk with him. He told Jake that every seemingly smooth progress hid countless invisible attempts and temporary failures. Growth never happened overnight. Before leaving, Mr. Smith handed him an old, thick physics notebook. Its dark blue cover bore a small coffee stain, and its pages were worn at the edges. Inside the front cover lay the former student’s faded hand-written name. It belonged to one of his former students, who had once struggled with physics just like Jake but eventually made remarkable progress through steady persistence. Inside were detailed error analyses, sorted key points and sincere self-reflections. Tucked between its pages was a faded yellow note: “Don’t quit when confusion knocks.” This small treasure was meant to light Jake’s way forward. Jake held the notebook tightly, feeling a mixture of warmth and motivation. That night, he carefully went through every page. Inspired, he made up his mind to adjust his learning methods and stick to his goals. However, heavy schoolwork and repeated difficult problems soon tested his determination again and he found himself trapped in confusion once more. One evening, upset and absent-minded, Jake left the notebook on the playground and headed home. He only discovered his carelessness late at night. He vaguely recalled that only a girl in sports uniform was jogging on the playground when he departed. A wave of anxiety rose — he feared he would lose the precious gift and let Mr. Smith down. Paragraph 1: The next morning, Jake hurried to the playground. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Getting the notebook back, Jake cheered up. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： Paragraph 1 The next morning, Jake hurried to the playground. He searched the lawn and benches repeatedly, only to find nothing in sight. A heavy sense of guilt flooded him, for he feared that losing the precious notebook would disappoint his teacher. He paced anxiously, unsure how to apologize. Just as despair crept in, a girl in sports uniform walked over with the notebook, explaining she picked it up after sports and meant to hand it in to her teacher. Greatly relieved, Jake thanked her sincerely again and again. Paragraph 2 Getting the notebook back, Jake cheered up. He treasured it more than before, seeing it as a symbol of persistence rather than just study notes. He adopted the practical learning methods in it and sorted out his mistakes daily. Whenever hard problems discouraged him, the notebook motivated him to carry on. Slowly, his physics saw a remarkable improvement. This experience taught him that growth never comes easy, and steady perseverance is the key to overcoming all difficulties in life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，文章讲述高中生杰克物理学习吃力，屡屡受挫几乎放弃。史密斯老师察觉他的沮丧，没有责备，送给他往届学生的旧笔记本激励他。杰克深受鼓舞决定坚持，可学业压力又令他陷入迷茫，还不慎把笔记本遗失在操场，内心十分焦虑。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可以写杰克清早去操场寻找丢失的笔记本却一无所获，满心愧疚，这时穿运动服的女孩归还了笔记本，他十分感激。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可以写找回笔记本后杰克备受鼓舞，借鉴笔记刻苦学习，物理成绩显著提升，也懂得坚持是战胜困难的关键。 2. 续写线索：杰克寻找丢失的笔记本——女孩归还笔记本——杰克十分感激——备受鼓舞——刻苦学习——成绩显著提升——感悟 3. 词类激活： 行为类： 感激：thank/appreciate 珍视：treasure/value 情绪类： 焦虑地：anxiously/nervously 绝望：despair/hopelessness 【点睛】【高分句型1】He treasured it more than before, seeing it as a symbol of persistence rather than just study notes.
