No matter how they achieve it, these novel libraries are keeping the magic of reading alive. 1. Kansas City Library (Kansas City, Missouri) Along the south wall of this parking garage’s exterior, visitors are treated to what looks like a huge shelf of books. The building originally served as a bank, which is readily apparent when the library has screenings in its Vault Theater, inside an actual 1925 bank vault. 2. Beach Library (Albena, Bulgaria) Reading a book on the beach is a classic, and in Bulgaria, one library encourages tourists to do just that. The white, weather-resistant shelves lined up not far from the surf feature 6,000 books in 15 languages so every visitor can find the perfect beach read to enjoy while soaking up the sun’s rays. 3. The Camel Library Service (North Eastern Province, Kenya) To combat low literacy(读写能力低) rates in the desert of Kenya, the government created a roaming library composed of nine camels bringing books to villages. The library travels four days a week serving the region’s nomadic people. Currently the service focuses on children, but with more funding they plan to increase their reach both in distance and the titles they carry. 4. Bishan Library (Singapore) Built in 2006, this library with skylights and trellises, is meant to invoke a modern glass treehouse. Glass pods of varying colors stick out of the building randomly to create cozy yet airy nooks(角落) for reading throughout the building. At the same time, a more open-plan children’s room on the basement level invites interaction while preventing noise from filtering upward and disturbing those concentrating in the lofty(高耸的) perches above. 5. Macquarie University Library (Sydney, Australia) An impressive combination of cuttingedge and sustainable, this building was made from recycled materials, features a green roof, and was designed to imitate the look of a eucalyptus tree. It is also state of the art, using robot cranes to bring requested books to the front desk. 21．Which library will not be easily affected by weather? A．Kansas City Library. B．Beach Library. C．The Camel Library Service. D．Bishan Library. 22．Which of the following can NOT be experienced in Bishan Library in Singapore? A．Having a discussion in the children’s room. B．Reading in a comfortable area with fresh air. C．Being disturbed by noise from the basement. D．Immersing yourself in reading in higher places. 23．What do the 5 libraries have in common? A．They are targeted at children. B．They are available to remote areas. C．They are equipped with advanced technology. D．They allow readers a lively reading experience. B When Angel Reese first joined the Chicago Sky as the No.7 pick in the WNBA (Women’s National Basketball Association) draft, the transition was far from smooth. The player known in college for her dominant rebounding (篮板球) and competitive spirit faced a steep learning curve against experienced professionals. Questions were raised about whether her game would translate, and her statistics in the early weeks were solid but not impressive, leading some experts to wonder if she was being overshadowed by other rookies (新手). But Reese, with her constant efforts, quickly turned a corner. In a decisive mid-season game against the Connecticut Sun, she recorded an incredible 25 points and 16 rebounds, announcing her arrival as a force. Her impact goes beyond numbers; she has transformed the Sky’s defensive identity and become an emotional leader. “Confronted with pressure from the media in the down time, she brings an energy that’s infectious,” said Head Coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “She’s not just playing her best; she’s motivating everyone around her.” Perhaps Reese’s most significant contribution is happening off the court. Jerseys (运动衫) with her name are flying off shelves, and Sky games, particularly on the road, are drawing new crowds eager to see the “Chi-Town Barbie.” The league’s television ratings and social media engagement see substantial rises during her eye-catching performances. She, along with an exceptional rookie class, is credited with driving a new era of exposure and commercial growth for the WNBA． The narrative has shifted from questioning her fit to forecasting her ceiling. A strong candidate for Rookie of the Year, Reese is no longer just a prospect; she is a cornerstone. Her journey from a screened newcomer to a league ambassador underscores how the right personality and talent, coupled with resilience, can rapidly reshape both a team’s fortunes and the sport’s cultural footprint. 24．How did the public react to Angel Reese initially? A．They didn’t pay enough attention to her role. B．They were deeply impressed by her skills. C．They thought she would win awards quickly. D．They doubted her ability as a WNBA player. 25．What can be inferred about Reese from Teresa’ s comment? A．She improves the team’s fame. B．She lifts her teammates’ spirits. C．She plays the best on the team. D．She handles media pressure easily. 26．Why was Reese called “Chi-Town Barbie”? A．To promote a commercial brand. B．To increase her media engagement. C．To reflect her popularity and identity. D．To display her catchy performances. 27．What is the main idea of the passage? A．An introduction to the Chicago Sky. B．The importance of a positive mindset. C．A player’s journey and her impact. D．The characteristics of sports culture. C After nearly a decade of trying, Apple finally gave up its effort to produce an electric car last year, canceling a project that soaked up $10 billion. But last year in China, the electronics maker Xiaomi launched its first electric car after just three years of development and delivered 135,000 vehicles. It has vowed to double that number in 2025. Xiaomi’s ability to succeed where Apple could not shows how thoroughly China has come to dominate the supply chain for electric vehicles. Chinese companies have mastered electric vehicle manufacturing. By tapping that infrastructure, Xiaomi was able to get components quickly and cheaply. And Xiaomi is not the only Chinese consumer electronics company that has branched out to electric vehicles. The telecommunications giant Huawei, which the U. S. government has targeted with sanctions and legal action for years, is making autonomous driving software. Huawei has teamed up with multiple Chinese automakers, including Seres Group and the state-owned firms SAIC Motor, BAIC and Chery. Xiaomi’s first electric car was brought out last March: the SU7,a four-door sedan with artificial intelligence features that can help with parking, play movies for passengers and program Xiaomi home appliances from the road. Mr. Lei said it looks like a Porsche. But at $ 30,000, it’s a quarter of the price. While the SU7 earned Xiaomi just a small fraction of the sales of China’s top electric vehicle makers, it puts Xiaomi among the Chinese companies that are dealing a major blow to foreign automakers’ long command over China’s market for premium cars. In the year since the SU7 went on sale, Porsche deliveries in China were down nearly 30 percent. Chinese electric vehicle companies have benefited from billions of dollars in government support, which has helped them gain control of the supply chain down to the very minerals inside the car batteries. This early edge helped two Chinese companies, BYD and Contemporary Amperex Technology Company. Xiaomi used this supply chain to its advantage. Its cars contain batteries from BYD and CATL. It was able to quickly start production by taking over a factory from Beijing Auto Group. Construction workers in Beijing are working around the clock on a second factory. All this manufacturing capacity helps Chinese electric vehicle firms move from development to production in far less time than traditional automakers in China, enabling them to bring new models to market quickly and focus on making software that they can continually update, said Stephen W. Dyer, head of Asia Automotive at AlixPartners. 28．How does the author introduce the topic? A．By listing examples. B．By stating opinions. C．By making a contrast. D．By giving definitions. 29．Why does the author mention Apple’s failure? A．To show Apple’s poor management. B．To prove electric car production is difficult. C．To highlight China’s EV development. D．To compare it with Huawei’s situation. 30．What does Paragraph 3 focus on? A．SU7’s price advantage. B．SU7’s features and influence. C．Porsche’s decline in China. D．Xiaomi’s EV production plan. 31．How did Xiaomi start its electric car production quickly? A．By developing new technology. B．By building its own factory. C．By getting government support. D．By getting hold of a factory. D An artificial intelligence can now predict the location and rate of crime across a city a week in advance with up to 90 percent accuracy. Similar systems have been shown to perpetuate (延长) racist bias (偏见) in policing, and the same could be true in this case, but the researchers who created thisAI claim that it can also be used to expose those biases. Ishanu Chattopadhyay at the University of Chicago and his colleagues created an AI model that analysed historical crime data from Chicago, Illinois, from 2014 to the end of 2016, then predicted crime levels for the weeks that followed this training period. The model predicted the likelihood of certain crimes occurring across the city, which was divided into squares about 300 metres across, a week in advance with up to 90 percent accuracy. It was also trained and tested on data for seven other major US cities, with a similar level of performance. Previous efforts to use AIs to predict crime have been controversial because they can perpetuate racial bias. In recent years, Chicago Police Department has tested an algorithm (算法) that created a list of people assumed most at risk of being involved in a shooting, either as a victim or as a criminal. Details of the algorithm and the list were initially kept secret, but when the list was finally released, it turned out that 56 percent of Black men in the city aged between 20 to 29 featured on it. Chattopadhyay acknowledges that the data used by his model will also be biased, but says that efforts have been taken to reduce the effect of bias and the AI doesn’t identify suspects, only potential sites of crime. “It’s not Minority Report,” he says. Chattopadhyay says the AI’s predictions could be more safely used to inform policy at a high level, rather than being used directly to allocate (分配) police resources. He has released the data and algorithm used in the study publicly so that other researchers can investigate the results. The researchers also used the data to look for areas where human bias is affecting policing. They analysed the number of arrests following crimes in neighbourhoods in Chicago with different socioeconomic levels. This showed that crimes in wealthier areas resulted in more arrests than they did in poorer areas, suggesting bias in the police response. 32．What can a new AI show according to researchers? A．The exposure of some biases. B．The reasons for racist bias. C．The similarity with other systems. D．The truth of the previous cases. 33．How was the research carried out? A．By dividing criminals into groups. B．By following the training period. C．By training the model in big cities. D．By looking into the past information. 34．What is Chattopadhyay’s attitude towards the research? A．Negative. B．Positive. C．Neutral. D．Indifferent. 35．What would happen after the new AI model was put into use? A．Crimes in wealthier areas would drop. B．Crimes in poorer areas would remain the same. C．Disadvantages caused by bias would decrease. D．Crime data would be further investigated. 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。 How to Interact with the Blind Interacting with a blind person may be a little discouraging at first. But with an open mind, you will realize that blind people are just like you and everyone else! Treat blind people as just another person. Many people assume that blind people have other medical problems. This may be so but is not always the case. 36 . Additionally, Blind does not mean that they cannot do anything, nor does it mean that they have lower-than-average common sense. It is only a physical challenge. Bear in mind that blind people treat guide dogs as extensions of their bodies. Never distract（使分心）guide dogs from their job without permission. 37 . Once distracted, they may fail to prevent a blind person from danger. 38 . When having a conversation in a group, remember to identify the person you are speaking to, i.e. using his or her name—otherwise, the blind person will be confused as to whether or not you are speaking to them. When leaving, always inform the blind person so that they will not be left talking to the air. If you offer assistance, just let them know. 39 ; however, make sure they are aware that you are going to help them. Do not clap, repeat or push when guiding a blind person. This would be somewhat rude. Relax. 40 . Just as a person who uses a wheelchair still goes for a walk, a blind person will still be pleased to "see" you. In other words, blind people use the same expressions as those who are sighted. A．Many blind people will accept help B．Be considerate in conversation with the blind C．Don't talk to the guide dog instead of the blind person D．Some words such as "handicapped" are seen as not politically correct E．Guide dogs are not super animals, and they can be distracted by whistling or food F．Unless you know for sure, assume blindness is the only medical condition this person has G．Don't be embarrassed if you use common expressions such as "See you later" or "Did you watch the movie?" 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。 Writing bothered me in high school. It felt like 41 a chaotic jungle where the “right” path kept changing. I stared at blank pages, tried to turn disordered 42 into sentences, and always got papers back littered with red. Before long, I decided I simply lacked the ability to 43 it. So I escaped into math and science, where rules felt clear and 44 and results could be tested. In college I joined a lab to improve an engineering design. My first test 45 contradictory data, but I didn’t panic. I fine-tuned the design and put it through 46 testing. After months of small 47 , my team finally made a breakthrough. My excitement 48 when my professor assigned a research paper on the project. The blank page returned, and so did the 49 . I drafted an outline, asked a graduate student for feedback, and received it 50 with red marks. Sensing my frustration, he explained, “Writing isn’t a 51 thing; it requires revising, just like your experiments.” The realization struck me: I had spent a year 52 my engineering design. Why did I expect my writing to be superb 53 ? So I rewrote, reshaped, and clarified my paper, and found the correct 54 in the jungle. Today, writing is a rewarding part of my research, because I learned to treat words the way I treated experiments: with testing and patience in the 55 . 41．A．creating B．entering C．finding D．saving 42．A．states B．assignments C．thoughts D．structures 43．A．deal with B．leave aside C．talk over D．put down 44．A．practical B．necessary C．sufficient D．consistent 45．A．produced B．analysed C．proved D．ignored 46．A．slow B．random C．repetitive D．steady 47．A．adjustments B．achievements C．comparisons D．reflections 48．A．remained B．disappeared C．returned D．peaked 49．A．caution B．demand C．attention D．anxiety 50．A．replaced B．covered C．combined D．associated 51．A．pick‑and‑mix B．hard‑and‑fast C．one‑and‑done D．rough‑and‑ready 52．A．recommending B．promoting C．questioning D．perfecting 53．A．instantly B．occasionally C．honestly D．apparently 54．A．attitude B．direction C．result D．target 55．A．method B．routine C．system D．process 第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分：共15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式（注意：答案请写在答题卡上，写在本卷无效）。 The Huang He Valley, also 56 (refer) to as the Yellow River Valley, was the birthplace of ancient Chinese civilization, because of 57 it is often called “Mother River”. The valley is at the center of thousands of years of Chinese history. 58 China’s second-longest river, the Huang He is over 5,400 kilometers long. It is called the Yellow River because its waters carry sand and mud, 59 (give) the river its yellow-brown color. While the river helps create fertile land that is suited for farming, during certain times of the year, the Huang He 60 (frequent) overflows, which damages housing and crops across the North China Plain, 61 important agricultural region. For thousands of years, the Chinese 62 (conduct) major public projects to keep control of the water from the Huang He, including hydroelectric dams in modern times.

It was a requirement for his high school graduation, but to him, the place smelled like old medicine and boredom. He usually spent his shifts doing the bare minimum: passing out water cups and avoiding eye contact. His least favorite resident was Mr. Henderson, a grumpy (暴躁的) 80-year-old man who always sat in a wheelchair in the far corner of the recreation room. Mr. Henderson never smiled, never joined the group activities, and frequently complained about the “noisy teenagers”. Leo made sure to keep his distance, annoyed by the constant complaints. Yet there was one thing Leo had noticed about the old man. Mr. Henderson always kept a small, worn-out songbook on his lap. One stormy Saturday, the nursing home was hosting its monthly music hour. The residents were gathered in the hall, eagerly waiting for the local volunteer band to arrive. However, at 2:00 p.m., the activity coordinator (协调员), Sarah, rushed in looking panicked. “The band’s bus broke down on the way here,” she announced, her voice shaking slightly. “They can’t make it.” A wave of disappointment swept through the room. Some residents sighed heavily; others lowered their heads. Sarah looked around helplessly, her eyes landing on an old, dusty piano in the corner of the room. “Does anyone know how to play?” she asked the room. Leo froze. He had been playing the piano since he was six and was exceptionally good at it. But the thought of playing in front of a crowd terrified him. He looked at the floor, hoping nobody would notice him. But then, he glanced up at the residents. For the first time, Leo didn’t see a room full of annoying strangers. He saw disappointed people who had been looking forward to this small moment of joy. His eyes stopped at Mr. Henderson, noticing the usual anger had disappeared from his face. Instead, he was staring silently at the empty piano. 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。 At that moment, Leo made a decision. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To everyone’s surprise, a rough, shaky voice began to sing along to the music. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 河南省信阳高级中学北湖校区 2026-2027学年高三上期09月测试（一） 英语答案 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 B A C C A B A A C C 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 A C C C C A C C A C 题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 B C D D B C C C C B 题号 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 答案 D A D B C F E B A G 题号 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 答案 B C A D A C A B D B 题号 51 52 53 54 55 答案 C D A B D 56．referred 57．which 58．As 59．giving 60．frequently 61．an 62．have conducted/have been conducting 63．their 64．to control 65．dynasties 66．    The word that drives me forward is “persistence”. It means keeping trying even when difficulties come our way.     As Senior Three approaches, heavy tasks and frequent failures often make me want to give up. However, persistence reminds me that progress never comes overnight. Every small effort matters. I don’t have to win at once, but I must keep moving.     Persistence teaches me to stick to my goals. It encourages me to brave challenges and keep chasing my dream. This word will always light my way in the busy Senior Three life. 【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生以“A Word That Drives Me Forward”为题写一篇演讲稿，分享一个能够激励自己前行的英文单词，并结合高三学习生活的实际说明理由。 【详解】1.词汇积累 激励：drive→ inspire / motivate 意味着：mean→ signify 放弃：give up→ quit 坚持：stick to→ adhere to 2.句式拓展 同义句改写 原句：I don’t have to win at once, but I must keep moving. 拓展句：Instant success is not required of me, but I am bound to keep forging ahead. 【点睛】【高分句型1】The word that drives me forward is “persistence”.（使用了关系代词that引导的定语从句，先行词为The word） 【高分句型2】It encourages me to brave challenges and keep chasing my dream.（使用了动词不定式短语作宾补） 67．One possible version: At that moment, Leo made a decision. He took a deep breath and walked to the piano. His hands trembled slightly as he sat down, but when his fingers touched the keys, a familiar tune filled the room. He began to play a classic song. The residents were startled at first, but soon they were immersed in the beautiful music. Some closed their eyes, savoring the moment, while others nodded gently with the rhythm. Mr. Henderson also leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed on Leo, as if he was trying to recall something. To everyone’s surprise, a rough, shaky voice began to sing along to the music. It was Mr. Henderson. He opened his mouth, and although his voice was not as clear as it used to be, it carried a deep emotion. He sang with all his heart. Other residents also joined in, and the room was filled with the harmonious sound of music and singing. Leo was deeply moved, and his fingers became more and more dexterous on the keys. At that moment, the storm outside seemed to fade away, and only the warmth and joy in the room remained. 【导语】本文以人物Leo的心理变化为线索，通过讲述原本抗拒去养老院做志愿、害怕当众弹琴的Leo，在乐队缺席的突发状况下鼓起勇气弹奏钢琴，带动暴躁的Mr. Henderson及其他老人跟唱，最终打破隔阂、收获温暖与感动的故事。 【详解】段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可以写Leo克服恐惧走向钢琴，弹奏出熟悉的旋律，老人们逐渐沉浸其中，Mr. Henderson也露出了久违的专注神情。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可以写Mr. Henderson开口跟唱，其他老人也加入合唱，Leo深受感动，房间内充满温暖与欢乐，升华主题。 2.续写线索：鼓起勇气——走向钢琴——弹奏旋律——老人沉浸——Mr. Henderson跟唱——众人合唱——温暖升华 3.词类激活： 行为类： ①弹奏：play/strum ②加入：join in/participate in 情绪类 ①被吓了一跳：be startled/be taken aback ②被打动了的：be moved/be emotionally overwhelmed 【点睛】【高分句型1】 Some closed their eyes, savoring the moment, while others nodded gently with the rhythm..(使用了现在分词短语作状语) 【高分句型2】Mr. Henderson also leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed on Leo, as if he was trying to recall something.(使用了“名词+过去分词”独立主格结构) 附：听力原文： 1． 【原文】M: I like the convenience of living in a big city. What is your opinion? W: I think there is too much noise. I prefer to live in the countryside. It’s more interesting. 2． 【原文】M: Did you have good weather at the beach on the weekend? W: Yes, it was sunny all weekend. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky. It was only windy on Sunday. 3． 【原文】W: I’m so glad I took up gardening last year. If it wasn’t for my anxiety issues, I would have never realized how much being in nature helps me relax. M: That’s true. I used to be stressed out all the time. But ever since I started planting vegetables, my mood has improved a lot. 4． 【原文】M: Excuse me, how can I get to the train station? W: You can take the subway, a shared bike or a taxi. The subway is the most reliable and the bike is the most flexible. The taxi is convenient but costly during the rush hour. M: My phone is dead, so I can’t unlock a bike. And I need to save money for the ticket. W: Then the choice is clear. 5． 【原文】W: The light is so bright. Do you really need such a huge amount of light? M: Yes, I have a ton of work to do before we get to Shanghai. W: If you turn off the light and get some rest, I promise I will help you after we land. 6．~7． 【原文】W: How can I help you? M: I want to book a room for next Friday. Are there any with an ocean view available? W: Yes. How many nights do you plan to stay? If you stay at least three nights, you will enjoy a free breakfast and lunch. M: That is great. But my meeting just lasts for two days. So I order two nights. W: OK. Do you need any wake-up calls? M: No, thanks. 8．~10． 【原文】M: Hello, Mary. What were you busy doing recently? W: Well, I am still occupied with work but I have started exercising. M: Do you go to the gym every day? W: Yes. I don’t need to lose weight as I am quite slim. I just want to improve my health. M: What sport do you do in the gym? W: I usually swim with friends. Sometimes I try the running machine. M: Are you going to the gym now? W: No. I have to go to my company to sign a contract. What about you? M: I am going to buy some fruit and chocolate. By the way, would you like to come to my home to have dinner tonight? W: Yes, I’d love to. And I will bring a bottle of wine. 11．~13． 【原文】M: Hello, you’re through to James from the online shopping platform customer service. How can I help you? W: Oh, hi. My password for my shopping account isn’t working and now my account is locked. I can’t place any orders or access my order history. M: Okay, that’s no problem. I can initiate a password reset process and send a password reset link to your registered email address. W: How long will it take to get the link? M: It usually arrives in 5 to 10 minutes, but network issues might delay it. W: Can you make it come in 3 minutes? M: Sorry, it’s automatic and depends on the email server. We used to reset over the phone, but stopped for security. W: Okay, go ahead then. 14．~17． 【原文】M: Hi, Lucy. I heard you joined the school radio station. W: Yes. I’m thinking about broadcasting as a career. M: It makes sense. How did you get the position? W: I just submitted a feature article I wrote for my English class. The manager read it and asked me to cover the upcoming art festival. M: That’s impressive. What angle did you take for the report? W: I focused on a student painting exhibition and interviewed several artists about their creative process. I tried to keep the tone lively. M: I’d love to hear it. Is it available online? W: Not yet. But I saved the recording on a flash drive. I can share it with you later. M: Thanks. By the way, I heard they’re hiring again. Is that true? W: Yes, they specifically need two sound engineers to operate the equipment and edit recordings. M: That sounds perfect for me. I’d like to apply. W: Great! Since I’m already on the team, I can introduce you to the manager. M: That would be a huge help! But can we go another day? I have a major physics test tomorrow. W: Sure. Today is Tuesday, so let’s go the day after tomorrow. M: Thanks, that works for me. 18．~20． 【原文】W: Today I’ll share with you my experience in the mountains. We started from a small village and climbed up to the top of White Mountain. More and more tourists would come in summer, so I wanted to enjoy the quiet natural beauty early. We set off at six in the morning. The road was rough, and we had to hold onto rocks to keep safe. Some of us felt tired easily, so we stopped to rest several times. Our bags were not heavy, but we still felt weak when we reached the middle station. We saw many strange birds and colorful flowers along the way. I took photos and wrote down what I saw in my notebook. I also worried about my teammates, especially when the weather became windy and cold. On the last leg of the trip, we found that our drinking water was running out. We thought we had prepared enough for the trip. Later, we realized that some of us drank more than needed. Some tourists passed by but they had no extra water. Then we met a local guide working as a park volunteer, and he gave us some clean water. In the end, we got to the top safely and went back home happily. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
