第二部分阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 3D Paper Art Course Paper may seem like a humble medium,but each sheet holds the potential to transform into something fascinating,complex and three-dimensional.In this digital era,paper art and pop-ups can add an element of tactility()and human interaction to the written word.In this course,we'll explore the many movements and dimensions you can create with pop-up structures-within books.cards,or on their own.We'll learn to build and adjust basic paper engineering models,starting with simple one-sheet box pop-ups and working our way up to layered 180-degree self-standing constructions.Templates()will be provided so everyone can understand and explore a wide range of complexities,and examples of how mechanisms are applied to published pop-up books will be shared throughout.At the end of the course,we'll put all the pop-up models into a book. This course includes four total sessions: Intro to paper engineering: Session1 Monday,7:00 pm-9:00 pm tools,templates,and 1-sheet pop-ups Building multi-piece pop-ups: Session2 Tuesday,7:00 pm-9:00 pm complex structures Adjusting your pop-ups: Session 3 Wednesday,7:00 pm-9:00 pm adding variation Creating a book: Session4 Thursday,7:00 pm-9:00 pm holding your work together Between sessions,students will be expected to pre-cut and score their pop-up templates so we can focus on construction and theory during class.Depending on experience and the template chosen,this can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours. Pricing options In addition to full-price tickets,a limited number of no-pay spots are available for this course.No-pay spots are distributed via a randomized drawing two weeks before each course begins. 21.What can students learn from the course? A.How to publish a book. B.Painting techniques on paper. C.How to build pop-up structures. D.The history of paper production. 22.What do we know about the course? A.It lasts for four days. B.It is free for everyone. C.It aims to sell books. D.It has an age limit. 23.Why are students expected to pre-cut and score pop-up templates between sessions? A.To practice their cutting skills. B.To make full use of in-class time. C.To prepare for a group discussion. D.To reduce the complexity of the project. & In life,we ofton faoo challenges that seem impossible to overcome.But it is often during these tough times that tales of extraordinary bravery and perseverance surface.Cara Brookins'story of changing her family's lives is an example of this. Cara Brookins,a mother of four,found herself emotionally tired after ending her unlucky marriage.With limited money,finding a suitable homo for her four children soemed impossiblo.Therefore,she made a plan to build their own home from scratch,even though the idea seemed unconventional and a little crazy. Cara purchased a one-acre plot of land and secured a construction loan of approximately $150,000.But completing their home was far from easy.Without provious experienco of building homes,Cara learned everything,from laying the foundations to running gas lines and setting up plumbing,through online courses. However,the courses on YouTube were often confusing,and there wero countless ways to approach a single task. Recognizing that,Cara decided to hire a part-time firefighter with building experience. To balance work and study,Cara committed herself to the project,often working late into the night. Fortunately,the Brookins family has a strong tradition of tackling challenges together as a family.Fifteen-year-old Drew assisted his mother in designing plans,while eleven-year-old Jada transported water from a neighbor's pond. And Jada played a crucial role in mixing it with concrete. Nine months later,the Brookins family moved into their new five-bedroom home,which they named the Inkwell Manor.For Cara Brookins,building their own shelter was not something to be proud of.However,it turned out to be the most encouraging thing she could have done for herself and her children.Through this experience,she has discovered that there is enormous power in setting a goal and persevering.She believes that anyone can achieve greatness if they decide on a single aim and take small steps towards it. 24.What eventually helped Cara clear up her confusion in building techniques? A.Her determination to reunite her family. B.The skills she learned through online courses. C.Her reflection on her building experience. D.The guidance of the experienced firefighter. 25.Which best describes Cara in rebuilding her house? A.Intelligent and creative. B.Devoted and modest. C.Knowledgeable and patient. D.Professional and thoughtful. 26.What does paragraph 4 show about the Inkwell Manor? A.It improved Cara's relationship with her children. B.It reflected advanced home building technology. C.It was an example of creative house design. D.It was the fruit of the family's joint efforts 27.What did Cara learn through her experience? A.Where there's a will there's a way. B.Adversity is the midwife of genius. C.Sharp tools make good work. D.It's never too late to learn. 。 A decade ago,the typical person's daily reading consisted of a morning newspaper,perhaps a chapter of a novel before bed,and various work-related documents in between.Today,that same person likely consumes tens of thousands of words per day-but in radically different forms:tweets,captions,notifications,headlines,and endless scrolls of short-form content.We are,by some measures,reading more than ever.But the question increasingly being asked by educators,psychologists,and neuroscientists is whether we are reading differently- and whether that difference matters. The evidence suggests it does.Researchers at the University of California,Los Angeles have used brain imaging to compare the neural activity of people reading a novel versus those scrolling through social media feeds Deep reading of narrative text activated brain regions associated with language processing,empathy,and complex reasoning.In contrast,skimming through social media primarily engaged areas linked to visual processing and rapid-decision-making一the brain's“scan and switch'”mode. Maryanne Wolf,a cognitive neuroscientist at UCLA and author of"Reader,Come Home",argues that the brain's reading circuits are not fixed but plastic,shaped by the type of reading we practice."We are training our brains to skim,to bounce from one piece of information to the next without ever diving deep,"she wams,"And the neural pathways for deep reading,if not regularly exercised,begin to weaken-just like an underused muscle..” The consequences extend beyond individual cognition.Long-form reading cultivates patience,the ability to follow complex arguments,and the capacity to inhabit perspectives different from one's own-all qualities essential to a functioning democratic society.When citizens lose the habit of sustained,critical engagement with text,they may become more vulnerable to misinformation and less capable of sophisticated political reasoning. The solution,most experts agree,is not to abandon digital media but to cultivate a balanced reading diet.Just as nutritionists recommend a variety of foods for physical health,cognitive scientists increasingly advocate for a mix of reading modes:fast and slow,digital and print,skimming and deep diving."The goal,"Wolf says,"is to develop a biliterate brain-one that can adapt its reading style to the demands of the task,moving fluidly between the rapid-scanning suited to a news feed and the deep immersion required by a complex novel."Whether our education systems and cultural habits can support this,dual literacy remains an open and urgent question. 28.According to the UCLA brain imaging research,deep reading of narrative text primarily activates brain regions associated with A.visual analysis and quick judgment-making temporary memory and pattern identification C.body coordination and physical movement D.emotional understanding and complicated thinking 29.Maryanne Wolf compares the neural pathways for deep reading to A.a body muscle that fades without regular use B.a computer chip which can get updated C.a stream whose path shifts as time goes by D.a book collection that grows with every new volume 5 30 What societal concern does the author raise about declining deep reading habits? A Book shops and public libraries might shut down in the end. B.Individuals might spend more cash on electronic devices. C.Members of society may be more easily misled by false information. D.Social media firms may acquire excessive political power. 31.What does Wolf mean by a"biliterate brain"? A.A brain that favours online texts over printed publications. B.A brain equally skilled at reading two separate languages. C.A brain able to alternate between quick scanning and thorough reading. D.A brain that deals with information more rapidly than ordinary readers. D About 300 participants from around the world spent the past year developing peptide candidates (for obesity,diabetes,and other diseases,putting computational strategies to the test in the lab.Organized by the Beijing Frontier Research Center for Biological Structure (FRCBS)of Tsinghua University,the Peptide Design Competition is less a showcase than a benchmarking exercise-an attempt to see how well AI-driven designs hold up under experimental examination. "Our ultimate goal is to discover next-generation peptide drugs,"said Jianzhu Ma,a professor of Tsinghua University's department of electronic engineering and Institute for AI Industry Research."We started this international competition to employ advances in structural biology and AI,focusing on developing safer and more effective therapies for metabolic diseases."The initiative reflects a broader shift in drug discovery. This year's target is NK2R,a receptor involved in regulating energy metabolism and appetite.NK2R agonist peptides adjust-receptor signaling without functioning as hormone replacements.Ma notes that peptides occupy an intermediate space between small molecules and antibodies:high specificity with often lower immune response than larger biologics. Round 1 uses structural data for NK2R as input for AI-driven design platforms to generate peptide sequences predicted to bind and activate the receptor.Submissions are evaluated computationally,then synthesized and tested experimentally for measurable activity.In round 2,improved on the results of round 1,candidates are tested for selectivity between family proteins. "I was most surprised by how clearly the competition validated the predictive power of the screening approach,"says Yu Yiping of ByteDance Al Drug Discovery."It motivated me to develop AI-driven peptide design and peptide therapies for traditionally undruggable diseases." Organizers hope to expand participation in the future.Framing peptide design as a shared international exercise offers a model for collaboratively evaluating and improving computational drug discovery. 32.How does the author introduce the topic? A.By testifying a method. B.By describing candidate peptides. C.By outlining an activity. D.By displaying Al-guided designs. 6 33.What is the competition procedure? A.Input data-judge submissions-upgrade data-retest for selectivity. B.Produce data→compute data→assess data→upgrade data. C.Input data-test for selectivity-upgrade data-retest for activity. D.Forecast outcomes-conduct lab trials-activate peptides-hand in results. 34.What does the underlined word"validated"in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? A.Denied. B.Limited. C.Proved. D.Cancelled. 35.What can be a suitable title for the text? A The Peptide Design Challenge B.Goodbye,Undruggable Diseases C.A Wide-ranging Shift,a Fresh Finding D.Combined Work,a Common Outlook 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 简读下面短文，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。 When your social media is.filled with images that make you doubt your looks,thoughts or abilities,try to look further and realize beauty lies in differences.Here are some useful ways to ease social media pressure. Never compare your popularity with others.No matter how many followers,comments or likes you have,if you get trapped in a competitive mindset,it can turb into an,endless cycle.After all,there will always be someone who has gained more positive responses.35 Fill your feed with positive content.Give your time and attention to people doing inspiring things,spreading uplifting messages and sharing unique and beautiful ideas.37 If someone's posts make you feel bad about yourself,click unfollow or hide. Seek valuable inspiration actively.Search for topics you're passionate about or areas where you'd like to find out more as this can lead you to people outside the world of celebrities and influencers.38 Armed with certain information,talk further to your guardians,teachers or older relatives and see how you can put the information you discover into practice. See through perfect online images.Although we know that many ceiebrities and influencers edit their photos before posting,we still cannot help but feel anxious when looking at their flawless pictures.39 Observe the lines on a grandparent's face.They're all intriguing and beautiful. 40 Make your social media channels a reflection of who you are and what you believe in.Share your real,kind voice with the rest of the world,just as you do at home and with friends.You might just inspire others to do the same. A.And don't stop there. B.Be selective when following others. C.Show your true self whatever others do. D.You don't need to prove anything to anyone.

Having lost his wife years earlier,he had lived alone for a long time,growing quiet,cold and distant from all his neighbors. I soon felt Mr.Henderson's cold attitude myself after settling down.Whenever I greeted him with a smile,he would merely glance at me and walk off in silence.The only time he approached me was to complain that my dogs'constant barking ruined his peace.At one point,he even warned me seriously that he would call the police if I failed to keep my dogs under control.Hoping to avoid trouble,I tried hard to keep my dogs quiet and kept them away from his property as much as possible.Even so,a cold,unspoken divide always lay between us. One freezing winter afternoon,ovemight snow had covered the whole neighborhood,leaving the sidewalk coated with slippery ice.The bitter cold kept most people indoors,making the streets unusually quiet.I was busy with housework inside my house,while my dogs wandered and played in the fenced yard.All was calm until my dogs suddenly broke into sharp,desperate barks,nothing like their usual playful noise. Shocked at their strange reaction,I rushed to the window to check.I spotted my dogs circling anxiously around a figure on the icy sidewalk.I leaned forward and realized it was Mr.Henderson.He must have slipped on the frozen pavement and taken a hard fall.Completely alone in the biting wind,he lay there lifelessly.Great concern flooded my mind,as I knew he would face serious risks from the freezing weather if no one helped him right away. 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。 Without hesitation,I rushed out to give a hand. Days later,Mr.Henderson showed up at my doorstep with a bag of dog treats 10 高三年级9月份质量监测 参考答案 听力： 1-5 BAACB 6-10 CAABB 11-15 BCCBC 16-20AACAC 阅读理解： 21-23CAB 24-27 DBDA 28-31 DACC 32-35 CACA 七选五： 36.D 37.B 38.A 39.G 40.C 完形填空： 41-45 BBDCD 46-50 AACAB 51-55 DACCB 语法填空： 56.integrated 57.a 58.to choose 59.pronunciation 60.how 61.vividly 62.By/Through 63.valued 64.competent 65.which 应用文范文： Asking for Psychological Help:Weakness or Growth? Facing moments of stress or anxiety,many students shy away from seeking help,fearing it may label them as weak.However,I firmly believe that asking for psychological help is a remarkable sign of growth. Firstly,it reflects our self-awareness that we can identify our emotional states,which is a crucial step towards personal development.Secondly,by reaching out for help,we show our determination to overcome difficulties and improve ourselves.Lastly,seeking psychological assistance equips us with coping strategies,enabling us to better handle challenges In conclusion,don't let the fear of being seen as weak hold you back.Let's embrace this opportunity for a healthier and more mature self. 读后续写范文： Witlout hesifation,I rushed out to give a hand.Dashing straight to Mr.Henderson's side,I knelt down to check his condition and called out his name loudly to wake him up.He slowly opened his eyes in response to my voice,yet the sharp pain in his injured leg forced him to groan.Aware of the severity of his injury,I pulled out my phone immediately to call an ambulance.Meanwhile,my dogs gathered around him,blocking the chilly wind and keeping him warm.Shortly afterwards,the ambulance arrived and took him to the hospital for professional treatment. Days later,Mr.Henderson showed up at my doorstep with a bag of dog treats.He apologized sincerely for his previous rude attitude and unreasonable complaints about my dogs,while expressing his heartfelt gratitude for everything my dogs and I had done for him.He handed me the treats as a small token of his appreciation.Thereafter,the cold invisible barrier between us faded away.Mr.Henderson would often drop by to feed my dogs,and we eventually built a warm,harmonious bond.Tiny acts of kindness,along with the warmth brought by lovely pets,can melt indifference and bond people closer. 附录1：录音原文 Text1没带作业 M:Mrs.Smith...I've left my homework at home.Can I use my phone quickly?
