Our Huangpu River cruise service is a perfect choice for family trips or group gatherings. Sailing along the river, visitors can admire landmarks, including the historic Bund buildings and modern skyscrapers in Lujiazui. We offer three types of boats with different capacities and supporting services. The prices are charged by the hour, split into daytime and night periods, rather than per-person rates. Boat Type Capacity Daytime (9:00–17:00) Night (18:00–22:00) Extra Service Mini Yacht 4 people ¥380/hour ¥520/hour Free bottled water Standard Sightseeing Boat 12 people ¥680/hour ¥890/hour Free guided commentary Luxury Party Boat 20 people ¥1100/hour ¥1450/hour Snack bar + music system Important Rules: (1) All reservations must be made at least one day ahead through our official mini-app. Walk-ins are not accepted.

Only whole-hour rentals are permitted; any partial hour shall be treated as one hour. (3) Outside food and strong alcoholic drinks are forbidden on board for safety reasons.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了黄浦江游船租赁服务，介绍了三种游船的载客量、日间/夜间单价与附加服务，同时说明了预订规则以及折扣政策。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格Standard Sightseeing Boat一行“Free guided commentary (免费专业讲解服务)”可知，它包含专业讲解服务。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Important Rules (4)“All passengers must present valid ID (passport or Chinese ID) at check-in. (所有乘客在办理登船手续时必须出示有效身份证件——护照或中国居民身份证。)”可知，办理登船手续需要出示有效身份证件。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格Luxury Party Boat一行Night (18:00–22:00)一列可知，夜间价格为 ¥1450/hour；根据Important Rules (2)“The minimum rental time for every boat is one hour. Only whole-hour rentals are permitted; any partial hour shall be treated as one hour. (每艘船的最短租赁时长为一小时。仅允许按整小时租赁；不足一小时的部分按一小时计算。)”可知，租赁时长1.5小时，按2小时计。原价：1450×2=2900元。根据倒数第二段“First, all bookings made before Oct. 20 will receive a 10% early-bird discount. Besides, groups of 5 or more visitors can get an extra 5% off the total bill. The two discounts can be combined. (首先，10月20日前完成的所有预订可享受9折早鸟优惠。此外，5人及以上游客团体可在总账单基础上额外享受5%折扣。两项折扣可叠加。)”可知，预订时间Oct.15在Oct.20之前，享受10%早鸟折扣；一家四口不足5人，不能叠加额外5%折扣。折后价：2900×(1−10%) = 2610元。 B When I was 10, I was caught in a lie. I stubbornly denied breaking a window in my neighbor’s barn, but my parents knew I had done it. In those days, a broken window was a big deal, and I was close to miserable. Then Uncle Jim arrived. He never raised his voice or rushed. Riding beside him in his old green car, I kept glancing at him nervously. I could see a confused smile at the corner of his mouth. “Telling the truth is always easier,” he said out of the blue. He grinned at me. “So it’s perfect for a lazybones like you and me.” That was it — no lecturing, no scolding. My uncle began to hum (哼歌), and I was awash in relief. Not long after, I spotted a pair of brown leather gloves on the windowsill in the post office. Old Mrs Jameson had come in wearing them and left barehanded. I tried them on. They were perfect. That night, my conscience troubled me. The truth is easier for a lazybones. The next day, I returned the gloves. A month later, Mrs Jameson sent me a new pair with a note of thanks. When Uncle Jim asked where I got them, I told him the story. “See?” he said, delighted. Uncle Jim taught me far more than that. One August day, we were fishing in a small boat. I was a bit down at our slow pace. He said speed was fine if you wanted to go fast, but slowing down made any journey less of a blur. “It helps you focus,” he said. I thought of that decades later when he was dying, in his 82nd year. Was he seeing more, even as he slowed? Uncle Jim was an observer who touched those he loved by sharing what he saw. Some things I understood quickly, but others took decades to become clear. Be honest, be brave, look around and slow down — the words were never spoken, but the message always got through. 24. How did Uncle Jim react to the author’s lie? A. He let the lie slide. B. He offered mild guidance. C. He delivered a long lecture. D. He gave a severe punishment. 25. Why did Mrs Jameson send the author a new pair of gloves? A. She knew he was fond of gloves. B. She had extra gloves to give away. C. Her old gloves no longer fitted her. D. She intended to reward his honesty. 26. What does the underlined phrase “less of a blur” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Less boring. B. Less risky. C. More exciting. D. More apparent. 27. What is the main message of the passage? A. Truth does not need to be spoken. B. The elder always give wise advice. C. Honesty and patience matter in life. D. Mistakes are unavoidable for children. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了作者回忆吉姆叔叔以温和的方式引导他诚实做人、学会慢下来用心观察，让他领悟诚实与耐心的人生道理。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“‘Telling the truth is always easier,’ he said out of the blue. He grinned at me. ‘So it’s perfect for a lazybones like you and me.’ That was it — no lecturing, no scolding. My uncle began to hum, and I was awash in relief. (‘说实话往往更容易。’他突然开口，冲我咧嘴一笑：‘所以这很适合咱们这种懒人。’仅此而已——没有说教，没有责骂。叔叔轻轻哼起歌，我如释重负。)”可知，吉姆叔叔没有训斥、长篇说教，只是轻松告诉作者讲真话更简单，属于温和引导。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Not long after, I spotted a pair of brown leather gloves on the windowsill in the post office. Old Mrs Jameson had come in wearing them and left barehanded. I tried them on. They were perfect. That night, my conscience troubled me. The truth is easier for a lazybones. The next day, I returned the gloves. A month later, Mrs Jameson sent me a new pair with a note of thanks.  (不久之后，我在邮局窗台上看到一副棕色皮手套。詹姆森老太太来时戴着它，离开时空手走了。我试戴了一下，大小刚刚好。那天晚上，我内心备受良心煎熬。那句‘说实话对懒人更简单’浮现在脑海。第二天，我把手套还了回去。一个月后，詹姆森太太送给我一副新手套，附了一封感谢信。)”可知，作者捡到詹姆森老太太遗落的手套后，受吉姆叔叔的影响选择归还，是诚实的行为，对方寄来新手套还附了感谢便条，显然是为了奖励他的诚实。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“He said speed was fine if you wanted to go fast, but slowing down made any journey less of a blur. ‘It helps you focus,’ he said. I thought of that decades later when he was dying, in his 82nd year. Was he seeing more, even as he slowed? (他说，想追求速度无可厚非，但放慢脚步，旅途就less of a blur。‘这能帮你专注。’他说。几十年后，82岁的他弥留之际，我想起这句话。当生命脚步放缓时，他是否看见了更多东西？)”可知，吉姆叔叔教导作者慢下来能帮人集中注意力、看到更多内容，说明放慢节奏后旅途的细节不再模糊，会更清晰可见，由此可推知less of a blur意为“不再模糊、更清晰可见”。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Be honest, be brave, look around and slow down — the words were never spoken, but the message always got through. (诚实、勇敢、多留意周遭、慢下来——这些话他从未直白说出，但这份教诲，我一直都收到了。)”并结合全文可知，吉姆叔叔以温和的方式引导作者要诚实做人、学会慢下来用心观察，让他领悟到了诚实与耐心的人生道理，对应选项C“生活中诚实和耐心十分重要”。 C Sir David Attenborough, a television presenter, said, “The plastic in our oceans ought never to have got there in the first place. Much of it perhaps ought not to have even been manufactured at all.” The first statement is reasonable, but the second is not. Although the drawbacks of the world’s reliance on plastics are all too apparent, the benefits they provide are all too easily overlooked. Take food as an example. Plastic packaging prevents foodstuffs from spoiling, making possible global trade in meat, fish, fruit and vegetables. It enables essentials like rice, cooking oil and powdered milk to be stored and distributed safely and cheaply. A one-litre plastic bottle weighs 5% as much as a glass one; plastic packaging thus reduces shipping costs and emissions. To deal with the threat of pollution, the best approach is not to ban plastics, but to manage them more carefully. Better recycling technologies, now under development, are one part of the answer. The proportion of plastics which end up being recycled has doubled in the past two decades, but it is still only 9%. This is not because people do not care about the planet. It is because recycling is harder and more costly than most people realize. One result is that many rich countries export their waste for “recycling” in poorer countries which are not equipped to deal with their own often voluminous plastic-waste problems, let alone anyone else’s. Greater use should therefore be made of landfill. When properly managed and well monitored, this is far less environmentally ruinous than often portrayed. Incinerators (焚烧炉) are a useful option too, though they are also unpopular. The good news is that Fortnum, a Finnish company, has found a way to turn the hydrocarbons released from waste incineration back into plastic feedstock. Such innovation should be built on. When it comes to plastics, the benefits are very much greater than most people will allow—and so is the potential for managing the costs. 28. What is the author’s attitude towards Attenborough’s view? A. Totally ignorant. B. Fully supportive. C. Strongly opposed. D. Partially approving. 29. Why does the author mention the weight of a plastic bottle in paragraph 2? A. To show bottles are easy to carry. B. To compare plastics’ durability with glass. C. To highlight the cost-effectiveness of plastics. D. To prove the essential role of plastics in global trade. 30. What mainly accounts for the low recycling rates? A. Public indifference. B. Technical difficulties. C. Insufficient global cooperation. D. Inadequate government funding. 31. What does the author imply in the last sentence of the passage? A. Our ability to handle its downsides is underestimated. B. The drawbacks of plastics far outweigh their advantages. C. People see huge potential to remove plastic pollution costs. D. High waste management costs prevent enjoying plastic benefits. 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】主要论述塑料虽带来海洋污染问题，但益处不容忽视，应当通过科学方式管理塑料而非直接禁止。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The first statement is reasonable, but the second is not.(第一种说法是合理的，但第二种说法并不合理。)”可知，作者对阿滕伯勒的观点部分赞同。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“A one‑litre plastic bottle weighs 5% as much as a glass one; plastic packaging thus reduces shipping costs and emissions.(一升塑料瓶重量仅为玻璃瓶的5%；因此塑料包装降低运输成本与排放。)”可知，作者列举塑料瓶重量是为突出塑料具备成本效益。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This is not because people do not care about the planet. It is because recycling is harder and more costly than most people realize.(这并非人们不关心地球，而是回收比大多数人想象得更困难、成本更高。)”可知，回收率低下主要源于技术层面的困难。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“When it comes to plastics, the benefits are very much greater than most people will allow — and so is the potential for managing the costs.(说到塑料，其益处远比大多数人愿意承认的要大——管控其代价的潜力也是如此。)”可知，作者暗示我们处理塑料弊端的能力被低估。 D In the US, almost 100 million people report being birdwatchers. In the UK, hundreds of thousands participate in the annual “Big Garden Birdwatch.” Beyond the obvious skills of identifying birds, is it possible that birdwatching is beneficially rewiring our brains? A just-published study in the Journal of Neuroscience provides some of the best evidence to date that this popular hobby can do just that. Scientists in Toronto were curious about brain differences between expert birdwatchers and beginners. To study them, they recruited 58 adults across a large age range, half expert bird identifiers, half less skillful. Using MRI, they studied brain structure and activation while participants identified birds. Compared with beginners, experts showed more compact brain structure in regions involved in attention and visual perception. The more compact the structure, the better the ability to identify birds. Interestingly, these same regions lit up on imaging when experts identified less familiar birds. While this was a small non-interventional study, it suggests that birdwatching to the point of expertise may rewire and restructure the brain. This builds on another study — “Creative experiences and brain clocks,” published in October 2025 in Nature Communications — which showed that people with more creative experience had more youthful-looking brains; directly related to their degree of expertise. More generally, participating in cognitively enriching activities may help delay dementia (痴呆症) onset; a Neurology study found that more engagement in such activities lowered Alzheimer’s risk by 38% and delayed diagnosis by 5 years on average for those eventually affected. Returning specifically to birdwatching, additional reasons support its brain benefits. Social connections top the list of brain-healthy factors, so joining a birdwatching group directly helps. The hobby promotes physical activity, an obvious brain benefit. Spending more time in nature, and stepping away from digital devices, also improves overall brain health. Finally, birdwatching may reduce stress — crucial because chronic stress impairs cognition and harms neural wiring. Much remains to learn about birdwatching’s potential for brain function and health. Yet while spending your day hunting a hummingbird or rare raptor does not replace a healthy diet, good sleep, and regular exercise, it may still be rewiring your brain for the better. 32. What brain differences did the study find between expert birdwatchers and beginners? A. Beginners had smaller visual brain areas. B. Beginners were better at identifying birds. C. Experts thought more thoroughly for unfamiliar birds. D. Experts had more tightly-organized attention brain areas. 33. Why does the author mention the study “Creative experiences and brain clocks”? A. To shift to a new subject. B. To support the above point. C. To offer background for the topic. D. To contrast with the previous study. 34. How does birdwatching benefit brains according to paragraph 4? A. It removes cognitive harm from stress. B. It helps people give up digital devices. C. Its social function best boosts brain health. D. Its physical benefits outweigh mental ones. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. What Birdwatching Can Do for Your Brain? B. Why Expert Birders Have Better Attention Skills? C. Why Creative Experiences May Delay Dementia? D. How MRI Reveals the Secrets of Birdwatchers’ Brains? 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍研究表明观鸟这项爱好能够重塑大脑结构，并从多方面阐述观鸟给大脑带来的各类益处。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Compared with beginners, experts showed more compact brain structure in regions involved in attention and visual perception. The more compact the structure, the better the ability to identify birds.(与新手相比，专家在负责注意力和视觉感知的脑区拥有更紧凑的大脑结构。结构越紧凑，识别鸟类的能力越强。)”可知，观鸟专家拥有组织更紧密的注意力相关脑区。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“While this was a small non-interventional study, it suggests that birdwatching to the point of expertise may rewire and restructure the brain. This builds on another study — “Creative experiences and brain clocks,” published in October 2025 in Nature Communications — which showed that people with more creative experience had more youthful-looking brains; directly related to their degree of expertise. (尽管这是一项小型非干预性研究，但它表明，达到专业水准的观鸟活动可能会重塑并重构大脑。这是建立在另一项研究——2025年10月发表于《自然·通讯》的《创造性体验与大脑时钟》——的基础之上，该研究表明，拥有更多创造性体验的人，大脑看起来更年轻；这与他们的专业水平直接相关。)”可知，作者引用这项研究是为佐证前文观鸟可重塑大脑的观点。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Social connections top the list of brain-healthy factors, so joining a birdwatching group directly helps. (社会交往位列有益于大脑健康因素的首位，因此加入观鸟团体能直接带来帮助。)”可知，观鸟的社交功能对促进大脑健康的作用最为突出。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“Beyond the obvious skills of identifying birds, is it possible that birdwatching is beneficially rewiring our brains? A just-published study in the Journal of Neuroscience provides some of the best evidence to date that this popular hobby can do just that. (除了识别鸟类这项显而易见的技能之外，观鸟是否有可能正向重塑我们的大脑？《神经科学期刊》一项刚发表的研究，提供了迄今为止部分最有力的证据，证明这项流行的爱好确实可以做到这一点。)”可知，文章围绕观鸟这一爱好对大脑产生的各类积极影响展开，介绍相关科学研究以及多重益处，所以“What Birdwatching Can Do for Your Brain?(观鸟能为你的大脑带来什么？)”最能概括全文核心，适合作为最佳标题。 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。 There is a moment in life when we realise that less truly is more. ____36____ She used just a glass cup, green leaves, and water boiled three times. “The third boil,” she said, “is when the water learns to breathe.” I thought her ridiculous. Now, I understand she spoke of a philosophy I took half a lifetime to appreciate — the profound power of simplicity. Modern life, however, makes it hard to live simply. We are flooded with notifications and expectations. Psychologists call this cognitive overload, where information exceeds our brain’s capacity. Decision-making deteriorates, creativity shrinks, and we feel exhausted. The accumulation of mess creates subtle but persistent anxiety. The more we accumulate, the more we have to carry, and what we carry eventually carries us. ____37____ Mastering the art of subtraction defines those we admire. Learning to do one thing at a time is a profound shift. Multitasking, which cognitive scientists say reduces efficiency by forty percent, is overrated. The single most radical act in a distracted world is to give your full attention to whatever you are doing. ____38____ Because it is easier to accumulate than to let go of habits that no longer serve us. Yet letting go is not a loss; it is a choice. Letting go is not failure; it is freedom. ____39____ Clear out one drawer, delete a useless app, or spend ten minutes in silence. In traditional Chinese painting, “leaving white” — the empty space — is as important as the brushstrokes. Life needs empty space too. Our capacity to appreciate depends on leaving some of it unexploited. Simplicity is a superpower in today’s world. When you simplify, you are not losing anything. You are making space for what actually matters. As my grandmother used to say, with a twinkle in her eye, “The tea is just leaves and water. But when you pay attention, it becomes something else entirely.” ____40____ A. However, simplicity requires courage. B. The more we win, the more anxious we feel. C. Perfection is achieved when nothing is left to add. D. That, in a nutshell, is what she meant: less is more. E. Start small and embrace the power of empty space. F. Adding more does not make life better; it makes it heavier. G. For me, it arrived when I watched my grandmother prepare tea. 【答案】36. G 37. F 38. A 39. E 40.

Its roots trace back to 1978, ____56____ China launched the Three-North Shelterbelt Forest Program (TNSFP). Stretching ____57____ Heilongjiang to Xinjiang, the TNSFP covers 13 provinces across 4.07 million square kilometers. Its sixth phase, ____58____ (launch) in 2021 and set for completion by 2030, aims to consolidate sand control achievements. At the Hexi Corridor, 100,000 roses now bloom. Scientists screened over 50 plant varieties to identify species with ecological and economic ____59____ (benefit). Drip irrigation maximizes limited water resources. In Qiemo County, veterans lead teams that balance restoration with industry — roses yield jam, skincare products and drinks. Innovative techniques include reed grass grids (芦苇草方格), ____60____ Chinese invention for stabilizing sand, which involves pressing wheat straw into one-meter-square patterns to reduce wind speed and trap sand. As the straw decomposes, it enriches the soil and enables vegetation to take root. Solar panels generate clean energy while ____61____ (form) wind barriers that improve soil moisture and vegetation ____62____ (cover), creating a microclimate that supports plant growth and local livelihoods. The goal is not to remove the desert, ____63____ to lock its edges to prevent expansion. Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Qinghai, and Xinjiang collaborate on shelterbelt forests and solar-powered stabilization. Targeting wind-sand corridors and oasis gaps, they have built a ____64____ (layer) defense system.

Without love, work becomes mere duty. My English learning proves this. I used to hate memorizing words, but after exploring songs and movies, I fell in love with the language. This passion transformed my learning — I began reading voluntarily, practicing speaking with confidence, and even writing short stories in English. To my surprise, I won first prize in our school’s English speech contest. So the achievement is not forced effort, but the fruit of love. Find your passion, and excellence will follow. Thank you for your listening. Possible version 2: Passion and Achievement Dear fellow students, This quote conveys a simple yet profound truth: only passion fuels truly worthwhile achievements. My experience with long-distance running speaks volumes. Two years ago, I barely finished an 800-meter race, yet driven by love for the challenge, I ran day after day, rain or shine. What started as painful training became my daily ritual of joy. To my amazement, I not only won a bronze medal but also discovered a stronger, more resilient self. This journey taught me that the achievement is never sheer effort alone, but the sweet reward of passion and devotion. Thank you for your listening. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生结合对“The only way to do great work is to love what you do.”这句名言的理解，写一篇英语演讲稿，说明看法并分享个人经历。 【详解】以第一篇范文为例： 1. 词汇积累 成就：achievement → accomplishment 转变：transform → reshape 自愿地：voluntarily → willingly 竞赛：contest → competition 2. 句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：I used to hate memorizing words, but after exploring songs and movies, I fell in love with the language. 同义句：Although I used to hate memorizing words, I fell in love with the language after exploring songs and movies. 【点睛】【高分句型 1】This quote shows that true passion drives real achievements.

As humans, our longing for recognition can sometimes take us down the wrong path, driving us to make choices we later regret. This is a lesson I have learned all too well. When I was 15, I did well academically but still longed to be popular among my peers. Despite my good grades, I often felt overlooked and unnoticed. The desire to stand out consumed me, eventually pushing me towards a serious mistake. One gray Tuesday morning, I visited the IT lab with my classmates. Our teacher, Mr. Chen, frowned and announced that several computer parts had gone missing. Curious glances exchanged, everyone wondered aloud how it could happen in a locked lab. “It is possible to open that lock with a different key — like a paperclip,” I said boldly, my voice cutting through the murmurs, hoping to impress my friends and seize their attention. At once, all eyes turned toward me with new curiosity. I felt an exciting rush I had never known before — the spotlight I had always desired. Eager to keep them hooked, I pulled a bent paperclip from my pocket, slid it into the keyhole, and twisted gently. My fingers trembled as the lock clicked open with a sharp snap, and I looked up, seeing wide eyes and open mouths around me. A few classmates even clapped in admiration. I grinned, enjoying my temporary glory. I had no idea that this foolish moment would land me in huge trouble. 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 next day, I was called to the principal’s office. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Before meeting the principal, my dad gently asked me what had happened. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： The next day, I was called to the principal’s office. My silly lock-opening show in the IT lab had quickly reached the teachers’ ears. Since I was the only student who knew how to unlock the lab door with a paperclip, I was regarded as the main suspect for the lost computer parts. Standing nervously in the office, I faced the principal’s serious look and tight questioning. Fear seized me completely, making me stutter and unable to explain myself clearly. My awkward response seemed like a guilty confession. The principal decided to contact my parents at once, filling me with deep regret and shame. Before meeting the principal, my dad gently asked me what had happened. There was no anger in his voice, only patience and trust. I bowed my head, told him the whole truth honestly, and admitted I just wanted to attract classmates’ attention with my stupid behavior. After listening carefully, my dad comforted me and explained the situation to the principal patiently. The misunderstanding was finally cleared up. I learned a precious lesson: true recognition comes from sincerity and good qualities, not vain showing off. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了15岁的作者成绩优异却渴望得到同龄人关注，为博取同学瞩目，在机房当众用回形针打开实验室门锁。不料此举让自己成为电脑零件失窃案的嫌疑人，陷入麻烦。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可以写作者被校长传唤后的紧张心理、因会开锁被列为失窃嫌疑人、慌乱辩解无果，校长联系家长，作者满心愧疚懊悔的情节。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可以写父亲温柔耐心询问事情经过、作者坦诚认错说明初衷、父亲帮忙向校长澄清误会、误会解除后作者收获人生感悟的情节。 2.续写线索：当众炫技惹祸→被校长传唤，列为嫌疑对象→辩解无效，校方通知家长→父亲温柔询问实情→作者坦白内心想法、真诚认错→父亲帮忙澄清误会→洗清嫌疑，领悟道理 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①决定：decide to/make a decision to ②承认：admit /confess 情绪类 ①紧张地：nervously/tensely ②愧疚的：guilty/remorseful 【点睛】【高分句型1】Since I was the only student who knew how to unlock the lab door with a paperclip, I was regarded as the main suspect for the lost computer parts.(运用了since引导的原因状语从句和who引导的定语从句) 【高分句型2】I bowed my head, told him the whole truth honestly, and admitted I just wanted to attract classmates’ attention with my stupid behavior.(运用了省略that的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年黄石市高三(9月)质量监测英语试卷 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 When is the project supposed to be finished?

I stubbornly denied breaking a window in my neighbor’s barn, but my parents knew I had done it. In those days, a broken window was a big deal, and I was close to miserable. Then Uncle Jim arrived. He never raised his voice or rushed. Riding beside him in his old green car, I kept glancing at him nervously. I could see a confused smile at the corner of his mouth. “Telling the truth is always easier,” he said out of the blue. He grinned at me. “So it’s perfect for a lazybones like you and me.” That was it — no lecturing, no scolding. My uncle began to hum (哼歌), and I was awash in relief. Not long after, I spotted a pair of brown leather gloves on the windowsill in the post office. Old Mrs Jameson had come in wearing them and left barehanded. I tried them on. They were perfect. That night, my conscience troubled me. The truth is easier for a lazybones. The next day, I returned the gloves. A month later, Mrs Jameson sent me a new pair with a note of thanks. When Uncle Jim asked where I got them, I told him the story. “See?” he said, delighted. Uncle Jim taught me far more than that. One August day, we were fishing in a small boat. I was a bit down at our slow pace. He said speed was fine if you wanted to go fast, but slowing down made any journey less of a blur. “It helps you focus,” he said. I thought of that decades later when he was dying, in his 82nd year. Was he seeing more, even as he slowed? Uncle Jim was an observer who touched those he loved by sharing what he saw. Some things I understood quickly, but others took decades to become clear. Be honest, be brave, look around and slow down — the words were never spoken, but the message always got through. 24. How did Uncle Jim react to the author’s lie? A. He let the lie slide. B. He offered mild guidance. C. He delivered a long lecture. D. He gave a severe punishment. 25. Why did Mrs Jameson send the author a new pair of gloves? A. She knew he was fond of gloves. B. She had extra gloves to give away. C. Her old gloves no longer fitted her. D. She intended to reward his honesty. 26. What does the underlined phrase “less of a blur” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Less boring. B. Less risky. C. More exciting. D. More apparent. 27. What is the main message of the passage? A. Truth does not need to be spoken. B. The elder always give wise advice. C. Honesty and patience matter in life. D. Mistakes are unavoidable for children. C Sir David Attenborough, a television presenter, said, “The plastic in our oceans ought never to have got there in the first place. Much of it perhaps ought not to have even been manufactured at all.” The first statement is reasonable, but the second is not. Although the drawbacks of the world’s reliance on plastics are all too apparent, the benefits they provide are all too easily overlooked. Take food as an example. Plastic packaging prevents foodstuffs from spoiling, making possible global trade in meat, fish, fruit and vegetables. It enables essentials like rice, cooking oil and powdered milk to be stored and distributed safely and cheaply. A one-litre plastic bottle weighs 5% as much as a glass one; plastic packaging thus reduces shipping costs and emissions. To deal with the threat of pollution, the best approach is not to ban plastics, but to manage them more carefully. Better recycling technologies, now under development, are one part of the answer. The proportion of plastics which end up being recycled has doubled in the past two decades, but it is still only 9%. This is not because people do not care about the planet. It is because recycling is harder and more costly than most people realize. One result is that many rich countries export their waste for “recycling” in poorer countries which are not equipped to deal with their own often voluminous plastic-waste problems, let alone anyone else’s. Greater use should therefore be made of landfill. When properly managed and well monitored, this is far less environmentally ruinous than often portrayed. Incinerators (焚烧炉) are a useful option too, though they are also unpopular. The good news is that Fortnum, a Finnish company, has found a way to turn the hydrocarbons released from waste incineration back into plastic feedstock. Such innovation should be built on. When it comes to plastics, the benefits are very much greater than most people will allow—and so is the potential for managing the costs. 28. What is the author’s attitude towards Attenborough’s view? A. Totally ignorant. B. Fully supportive. C. Strongly opposed. D. Partially approving. 29. Why does the author mention the weight of a plastic bottle in paragraph 2? A. To show bottles are easy to carry. B. To compare plastics’ durability with glass. C. To highlight the cost-effectiveness of plastics. D. To prove the essential role of plastics in global trade. 30. What mainly accounts for the low recycling rates? A. Public indifference. B. Technical difficulties. C. Insufficient global cooperation. D. Inadequate government funding. 31. What does the author imply in the last sentence of the passage? A. Our ability to handle its downsides is underestimated. B. The drawbacks of plastics far outweigh their advantages. C. People see huge potential to remove plastic pollution costs. D. High waste management costs prevent enjoying plastic benefits. D In the US, almost 100 million people report being birdwatchers. In the UK, hundreds of thousands participate in the annual “Big Garden Birdwatch.” Beyond the obvious skills of identifying birds, is it possible that birdwatching is beneficially rewiring our brains? A just-published study in the Journal of Neuroscience provides some of the best evidence to date that this popular hobby can do just that. Scientists in Toronto were curious about brain differences between expert birdwatchers and beginners. To study them, they recruited 58 adults across a large age range, half expert bird identifiers, half less skillful. Using MRI, they studied brain structure and activation while participants identified birds. Compared with beginners, experts showed more compact brain structure in regions involved in attention and visual perception. The more compact the structure, the better the ability to identify birds. Interestingly, these same regions lit up on imaging when experts identified less familiar birds. While this was a small non-interventional study, it suggests that birdwatching to the point of expertise may rewire and restructure the brain. This builds on another study — “Creative experiences and brain clocks,” published in October 2025 in Nature Communications — which showed that people with more creative experience had more youthful-looking brains; directly related to their degree of expertise. More generally, participating in cognitively enriching activities may help delay dementia (痴呆症) onset; a Neurology study found that more engagement in such activities lowered Alzheimer’s risk by 38% and delayed diagnosis by 5 years on average for those eventually affected. Returning specifically to birdwatching, additional reasons support its brain benefits. Social connections top the list of brain-healthy factors, so joining a birdwatching group directly helps. The hobby promotes physical activity, an obvious brain benefit. Spending more time in nature, and stepping away from digital devices, also improves overall brain health. Finally, birdwatching may reduce stress — crucial because chronic stress impairs cognition and harms neural wiring. Much remains to learn about birdwatching’s potential for brain function and health. Yet while spending your day hunting a hummingbird or rare raptor does not replace a healthy diet, good sleep, and regular exercise, it may still be rewiring your brain for the better. 32. What brain differences did the study find between expert birdwatchers and beginners? A. Beginners had smaller visual brain areas. B. Beginners were better at identifying birds. C. Experts thought more thoroughly for unfamiliar birds. D. Experts had more tightly-organized attention brain areas. 33. Why does the author mention the study “Creative experiences and brain clocks”? A. To shift to a new subject. B. To support the above point. C. To offer background for the topic. D. To contrast with the previous study. 34. How does birdwatching benefit brains according to paragraph 4? A. It removes cognitive harm from stress. B. It helps people give up digital devices. C. Its social function best boosts brain health. D. Its physical benefits outweigh mental ones. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. What Birdwatching Can Do for Your Brain? B. Why Expert Birders Have Better Attention Skills? C. Why Creative Experiences May Delay Dementia? D. How MRI Reveals the Secrets of Birdwatchers’ Brains? 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。 There is a moment in life when we realise that less truly is more. ____36____ She used just a glass cup, green leaves, and water boiled three times. “The third boil,” she said, “is when the water learns to breathe.” I thought her ridiculous. Now, I understand she spoke of a philosophy I took half a lifetime to appreciate — the profound power of simplicity. Modern life, however, makes it hard to live simply. We are flooded with notifications and expectations. Psychologists call this cognitive overload, where information exceeds our brain’s capacity. Decision-making deteriorates, creativity shrinks, and we feel exhausted. The accumulation of mess creates subtle but persistent anxiety. The more we accumulate, the more we have to carry, and what we carry eventually carries us. ____37____ Mastering the art of subtraction defines those we admire. Learning to do one thing at a time is a profound shift. Multitasking, which cognitive scientists say reduces efficiency by forty percent, is overrated. The single most radical act in a distracted world is to give your full attention to whatever you are doing. ____38____ Because it is easier to accumulate than to let go of habits that no longer serve us. Yet letting go is not a loss; it is a choice. Letting go is not failure; it is freedom. ____39____ Clear out one drawer, delete a useless app, or spend ten minutes in silence. In traditional Chinese painting, “leaving white” — the empty space — is as important as the brushstrokes. Life needs empty space too. Our capacity to appreciate depends on leaving some of it unexploited. Simplicity is a superpower in today’s world. When you simplify, you are not losing anything. You are making space for what actually matters. As my grandmother used to say, with a twinkle in her eye, “The tea is just leaves and water. But when you pay attention, it becomes something else entirely.” ____40____ A. However, simplicity requires courage. B. The more we win, the more anxious we feel. C. Perfection is achieved when nothing is left to add. D. That, in a nutshell, is what she meant: less is more. E. Start small and embrace the power of empty space. F. Adding more does not make life better; it makes it heavier. G. For me, it arrived when I watched my grandmother prepare tea. 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。 For years, I have written essays about my mother since school days, crafting polished and beautiful passages whenever this topic was assigned.

The housewife mother I once felt _____54_____ of is now the greatest pride in my life.

As humans, our longing for recognition can sometimes take us down the wrong path, driving us to make choices we later regret. This is a lesson I have learned all too well. When I was 15, I did well academically but still longed to be popular among my peers. Despite my good grades, I often felt overlooked and unnoticed. The desire to stand out consumed me, eventually pushing me towards a serious mistake. One gray Tuesday morning, I visited the IT lab with my classmates. Our teacher, Mr. Chen, frowned and announced that several computer parts had gone missing. Curious glances exchanged, everyone wondered aloud how it could happen in a locked lab. “It is possible to open that lock with a different key — like a paperclip,” I said boldly, my voice cutting through the murmurs, hoping to impress my friends and seize their attention. At once, all eyes turned toward me with new curiosity. I felt an exciting rush I had never known before — the spotlight I had always desired. Eager to keep them hooked, I pulled a bent paperclip from my pocket, slid it into the keyhole, and twisted gently. My fingers trembled as the lock clicked open with a sharp snap, and I looked up, seeing wide eyes and open mouths around me. A few classmates even clapped in admiration. I grinned, enjoying my temporary glory. I had no idea that this foolish moment would land me in huge trouble. 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 next day, I was called to the principal’s office. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Before meeting the principal, my dad gently asked me what had happened. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
