B My tcacher was one of the people I most wanted to sce whenever I visited New York City.Usually I'd call ber as soon as I was settled,and it was thrilling to hear her voice and then to arrange a meeting time.But in 2024,when I turned 75 and she was 96,I put off making the call.Each time I thought about phoning her,I feared that when I said my name,she would say,"Who?" I first met Lore Segal in 1975,when I took her writing class at Columbin University.Back then,all I knew about her was that she'd recently lost her husband.I hadn't known that when shc was a little girl, her family went through a scrics of ups and downs and that at 10 years old,she was even transported alonc 高三阶段考试英语试题 all the way to England,where she moved bctwcen different temporry homes. Small and self-confident,Lore had a pale face and curly hair.She was particular,her whole rnanner changing when someonc expressed something exaggerating or cmotional.Shc said firmly that no onc cver ngain needed to describe somcone drinking coffee or getting into and out of a car.She also stnted that forn reader to remember a particulnr detail,you had to writo it one and a half times,a rulc both impossible to follow and true.When she leaned toward a text,I saw the obvious pleasure she took in sharing u passage and felt the pleasurc welling up in me. Lore held student conferences at her apartment near school.When it was my turo,we sat beside cach other and she went page by page through my novel-in-progress manuscript.No one had ever before read my work so closcly or scen anything special in me.And now came this extraordinary moment:my teacher was reading my words and laughing. 24.Why did the author delay calling Lore in 2024? A.Lore refused to mect him. B.He was fully occupied with work. C.He lost interest in meeting hor D.He worried she might forget him. 25.What do we know about Lore's childhood? A.She trayellcd a lot alone. B.She lived in'a fixed house. C.She weathered bitter blows. D.She tought writing in England. 26.What can we infer about Lore's attitude towards writing? A.She prized plain and meaningful writing. B.She hated all dnily scene descriptions. C.She ignored students'writing faults. D.She thought short articles work best. 27.How did the author feel during one-on-one talks? A.Shy nnd awkward. B.Inspired and valued. C.Calm and indifferent. D.Nervous and uncasy. C You finish a meal,feel completely full,and then somconc opens a box of desscrt.A momcnt ago, your body scemed finishcd with food.Now,suddenly,dessert sounds possible.We usually think of hunger 第3页共8页 as the only thing thnt drives cating.In onc sensc,that's truc.But modem life surrounds us with something that biology did not quite prepare us for:n constant stream of food cucs-packaging,bakery windows, delivery photos... A recent study in Appctite studied why we may not be able to avoid overcating when fnced with thesc food cues.For the study,90 university students rated their current hunger and the desirability of cleven foods and on this basis two foods of cqunl rating were sclectcd.Halfway through the experiment,they were fed one of the two foods until they no longer wanted morc of it.After the meal,participants rated once again and as a result,they ratcd the food they nte as less desirable and the food showed"devaluation". So far.this sounds like common sense:If you cat cnough potato chips,the chips should become less tempting.If you cat cnough brownics,brownics should losc some of their magic.The study confirmed that pcople themselves reported experiencing this. However.when researchers recorded students'reward positivity signal in their brain,the results'told a different story.The carly brain signal did not shrink when participants saw images of the food they had just stuffed themselves with.The mind can"know"that a.food is no longer worth.pursuing,but a fast and automatic part of the brain still reacts to its cue as though it carries reward. This study helps explain one of the most frustrating aspects of cating.Ovcrcating isnot always a simple failure of willpower.It may begin carlicr than that,in the split 'sccond when a food cue grabs the brain before delibcrate control has had time to catch up.This suggests that self-coutrol may not begin by crasing temptation,but by overriding it.The first wave of evaluation may still arrive,but latcr processes can still stcp in and say no.Seen this way,self-control is not the absence of desire.It is the ability to endurc a signal that the brain continues to generate. 28.What is the modern challenge of cating? A.Wide availability of iood. B.Frequent cxposure to food signals. C.Intense biological hunger. D.Mounting emotional pressure. 29.What docs the underlined word"devaluation"in paragraph 2 refer to? A.A drop in iis market price. B.A growing attraction to people. 高三阶段考试英语试题 C.A declinc in its original appcal. D.A decreasc in its daily supply. 30.What is the purposc of paragraph 3? A.To reveal the mind-brain contradiction. B.To introduce a new food experiment C.To explain the rcason bchind hunger. D.To qucstion the study's findings. 31.What can we learn about self-control from the last paragraph? A.It results from the first food cvaluation. B.It develops through repeated practice. C.It involves acting against lasting urges. D.It requires getting rid of desire for food. D On a snowy morning in Stockholm,the Candela C-8 looks like a standard spcedboat.Once it picks up speed,something extraordinary happens:the hull (lifts cntircly out of the water,"flying"half a meter above the surface.This is the new gencration of electric hydrofoils () They are ideal for urban transport,says Gustav Hasselskog,the founder of Candela technology company.They are quict,cmission-frec and cheap to run-the C-&'s cost per milc is about 5%of that of a traditional speedboat.In many cities,to reduce the disturbance caused by large waves,boats are usually specd-limited.Hydrofoils,however,cause almost no wake and thus travel faster.Hasselskog believes they could reshape urbantransport by shifting traffic from blocked roads to underused waterways,which he terms "blue highways". The Candela C-8 is supported by three thin,red struts ()which are linked to two underwater wings that turn forward motion into lift.By lifting the bull out of the watcr,the boat reduces drag by as much as 80 percent,saving a huge amount of cnergy.Sensors around the boat measure waves and control systems adjust the wings 100 times a second,providing such a solid,smooth ride that the boat feels as though il is on rails. The power nccded to drive a hydrofoil varies dircctly with its mass,so minimizing a hull's overall weight is also of importance.The wings must be small cnough to reduce drag and strong enough to bear the boat's weight.The solution is to borrow from aerospace and motor racing,and use carbon fiber.As for motors,Candela now has a partnership with makers of clectric vehicles,allowing clectric boats to use 第4页 共8页 standard fast-chargers designed for cars. The potential impact is sigoificant with nearly half of the world's population living in coastal regions whcre cities are often stuck in traffic.Whilc large traditional public boats will still be needed for heavy routes,on short passenger-only routes in citics,clectric hydrofoils may be about to take off. 32.What does Gustay Hasselskog cxpect the Candela C-8 to do? A.Boost coastnl tourism. B.Promote road building. C.Lower travel expenses. D.Remodel urban traffic 33.Which part of the Candela C-8 plays a vital role in its high energy efficiency? A.Its type of drive. B.Its power source. C.Its control systems. D.Its underwater wings. 34.What does the author think of the large traditional public boats? A.They are out of date. B.They are irrcplaccable. C.They show huge potential D:They nced to be improved. 35.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.The Candela C-8:Reshaping Heavy-route Transport B.Traditional Spcedboats:Features and Cost Analysis C.Electric Hydrofoils:A New Solution to City Traffic D.Carbon Fiber:Equipping the Candela C-8 with Wings 第二节（共5小题：每小愿2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中远出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Strategles to Become Emotionally Mature Emotional maturity is crucial for personal growth and healthy relationships.Devcloping emotional intelligence can be challenging,but with the right strategies,you can become emotionally stronger and improve as a person. Communicate Your Needs 36This happens mostly in relationships.Your partner would want you to know cxactly what 高三阶段考试英语试题 they want and when they want it.This can be extremely annoying Just as you cannot read somcone else's mind,they can't read yours.You necd to communicate your needs to others,so do they. Try Using "I"Statements When discussing your feclings,use "I"statements instead of"You"statements.For example,say"I feel hurt"rather than"You hurt me."This approach allows you to express your emotions without placing blame,making it easier for others to understand your perspective.37 Take Responsibility For Your Actions Just like your words,you need to take full responsibility for your actions.Many people make silly excuses and don't take responsibility for their actions.That is where they hurt others and themselves.If you have made a mistake and hurt others in the process,apologize immediately.It won't bring your self-respect down.38 You will become emotionally mature by doing this. Avoid Negative People You are known by the company you keep.It significantly influences your emotional well-bcing.39 Distancing yourself from negative influences or emotionally controlling people is vital.Remember,you are the CEO of your life-choose your associntes wisely.

On the first Monday,I simply dared not look at people in the restaurant.And when I was speaking with them,my face turned red and my voice was low.On my way back home,I felt so bad.But when I 第7页 共8页 reached home,my bad feclings disappeared.I found my parents had brought home a pet cat,which I had expected to get for a long time.The cat was so lovely.However,onc Thursday,he secretly ran out and disappcared We looked for him everywhere the whole day but found nothing.We lived in the city,closc to a road.I guessed he would probably not be home again.And after three days of looking for the cat with no sign of him,I quite believed he wouldn't be home again.My parents told me,"A miracle (may happen as long as you don't give up."However,I quite doubted it. On the morning of the following Monday,I left for work 45 minutes earlicr and started walking to the bus stop a block away.While waiting for the bus there.I thought about the work and felt upset.It wouldn't be helpful to me and it was tiring!How much I wanted to quit the job!And thinking of the cat,I felt even worse. Since it was still early,I suddenly wanted to spare some time to look for the cat again though I had little hope.I told myself,"If I still fail to find him this time,I won't look for him again."Then;I decided to walk to the next bus stop to look for him around.Minutes later,suddenly,a dirty and weak cat sitting by a tree caught my cye. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右： 2请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 My eyes widened,and I was surprised to find it was just our cat. 高三阶段考试英语试题 Encouraged,I rushed to the bus stop and decided not to give up the part-time job. ® 第8页 共8页大庆实验中学2026一2027学年度上学期高三年级阶段考试 英语答案 1-20 CABBA BCCBA ACBCB CABCA 21-23 DBA 24-27 DCAB 28-31 BCAC 32-35 DDBC 36-40 FDAEG 41-55 CCBBA AADCD DADBC 56-65 CCCAB BDBBB 66.resistant 67.reduction 68.satisfaction 69.addicted 70.beneficial 71.to 72.to be exposed 73.to 74.from 75.for 【应用文写作参考范文】 Version 1: Recently,I have noticed a worrying trend that many students rely heavily on AI tools to cope with homework.Rather than wrestling with questions,they get ready-made answers with a few taps. Blind reliance on AI does lasting harm to our academic growth.It deprives us of chances to consolidate knowledge.As a result,we may fail to figure out weak points and lose problem-solving ability. Accordingly,we should treat AI as a useful learning tool,not a shortcut.Only after independent thinking should we consult it for detailed analysis.Teachers and parents should also guide us to form good learning habits. Version 2: Recently,an alarming phenomenon has swept across our campus:many students use AI to get instant answers,skipping the vital process of trial,reflection and reasoning. Over-reliance on AI for direct answers poses profound threats to our academic growth.The struggle of wrestling with tough questions is where real learning takes root.Blindly adopting AI's outputs deprives us of identifying knowledge gaps, weakens problem-solving,and fosters a lazy mindset. However,AI is a powerful backup when used properly.We should first work through tasks independently,then employ AI to clarify concepts or refine thinking. Educators and families should also guide us to establish rational digital learning norms 【读后续写参考范文】 Version 1 Paragraph 1: My eyes widened,and I was surprised to find it was just our cat.For a second,I froze,unable to believe that the weak,dusty figure by the tree was the same lively companion I had longed for.Heart pounding,I bent down and gathered him carefully into my arms.Feeling his thin body trembling gently against my chest,I felt a rush of relief washed over me.Without hesitation,I turned around and hurried home,holding him close as ifhe might disappear again.Reaching the door,I placed him softly inside and filled his bowl with water.An unexpected thought struck memaybe miracles truly happen when you refuse to give up.With that idea lingering in my mind,I glanced at the time and dashed out again,determined to catch the bus. Paragraph 2: Encouraged.I rushed to the bus stop and decided not to give up the part-time job. As I ran,my mother's gentle reminder echoed in my ears,"A miracle may happen as long as you don't give up."At that moment,her words took on a new meaning.I realized the job wasn't simply about serving dishes,it was about leamning to face people,challenges,and even fears.Recalling how I had almost given up searching for the cat,I felt a fresh sense of determination rising within me.By the time the bus anived,my steps had grown steady and my voice no longer felt trapped inside me. Holding onto the small miracle of the moming,I resolved to greet the customers with confidence,ready to embrace the change the job would bring Version 2 Paragraph 1: My eyes widened,and I was surprised to find it was just our cat.A surge of disbelief mixed with joy swept through me as I crouched down,gently sliding my ars beneath his fragile body.His faint purr brushed against my fingers,sending warmth through my chest.For days,disappointment had clouded my heart,yet now, the sight of him felt like a sudden beam of light breaking through.Cradling him carefully,I quickened my pace toward home,whispering comforting words along the way.I pushed open the door,set him down with care,and watched him curl up in his familiar corner as though he had never left.Relief flooded me.Glancing at the clock,I realized I still had a chance to catch the bus,so I rushed out again,breathless but strangely uplifted Paragraph 2: Encouraged.I rushed to the bus stop and decided not to give up the part-time job. Each step seemed lighter than before,as if the morning's miracle had swept away the doubt that once tied my feet.My mother's words retumned to me vividly-"A miracle may happen as long as you don't give up."For the first time,I sensed the deeper meaning behind them.If persistence could bring my cat back,perhaps it could also cultivate my courage I needed.As the bus approached,the anxiety that usually tightened my throat loosened.I imagined myself speaking to customers,maybe still shy,but a little braver than yesterday.With a newfound steadiness in my heart,I boarded the bus,ready to face the day Version 3 Paragraph 1: My eves widened,and I was surprised to find it was just our cat.The early morning sunlight filtered through the leaves,casting soft shadows on his dusty fur.I knelt down at once,my fingers trembling slightly as I touched his cold nose.He let out a weak meow,and something in me melted.Carefully,I lifted him,feeling his bony frame rest helplessly in my arms.Not wanting to waste a second,I hurried home, the cool breeze brushing against my face as I ran down the quiet street.Once inside,I settled him gently on a blanket and filled his bowl with water.His meows were like a warm stream flowing into my heart.Realizing I still had time to catch the bus,I grabbed my bag and rushed out again. Paragraph 2: Encouraged.I rushed to the bus stop and decided not to give up the part-time job. The world seemed different now-lighter,more hopeful.My mother's words echoed in my mind with unexpected clarity:"A miracle may happen as long as you don't give up."I finally understood-persistence was not only about finding a lost cat but about finding a braver version of myself.The thought made my steps firmer.When the bus approached,instead of shrinking back as usual,I lifted my head,ready to welcome the new challenges waiting at the restaurant.Holding onto the miracle that morning had brought me,I felt a quiet courage blooming inside,one that I knew I would carry far beyond that summer. 【听力参考材料】 1.M:How much does a one-way ticket cost from London to York?

M:Yes,I'll go right away 6-7 W:Have you tried that new restaurant,Paul?The review I read said it was really good. M:It must have been the same review I read.That's why I went last night.I was disappointed,though,Beth.The service was very slow,and the music was too loud. As for the food,I didn't think it was anything special. W:I was thinking of going there for my birthday dinner.Maybe I'll choose somewhere else instead. M:I can recommend a small Italian place nearby.The atmosphere is much better,and the food is excellent. 8-10 W:I loved the architecture,didn't you? M:It was so unusual.I mean,when you think of what's being put up in cities nowadays,you know,all the shopping centers and places,then you wonder whether anyone actually bothers to design buildings like that anymore. W:That's right.And the atmosphere inside was just so quiet-you could really take your time admiring everything on display.Those 18th-century vases were absolutely brilliant.You'd never find craftsmanship like that in any modern factory. M:Yeah,they really caught my attention,too.In fact,I'm planning to do some research on ancient vases.So I'll borrow some books from the library later. 11-13 W:So how was your holiday? M:Great,but it didn't start that way W:What happened? M:Well,I almost missed my plane because I didn't hear the announcement that they'd changed the gate.Then when we landed,I was going through passport control, I couldn't find my passport at first-I just forgot where I'd put it W:You must be more careful next time. M:You're right.And on the first night at the hotel,the people next door were arguing about something,which kept me awake.But after that,it was all lovely. W:So what did you do for the rest of the trip? M:Well,the hotel staff recommended some local attractions to me.The next day,I went hiking in the mountains and took lots of photos.On the third day,I visited a beautiful beach.In the evening,I tried some seafood at a nearby restaurant. 14-16 W:Hello,David.How's the local history project going?Are you making good progress? M:Yes and no.We faced various kinds of problems.None of the group has much experience of cooperating on projects,but we spent some time discussing how to go about it and worked out what seemed a useful approach.But it seems that Jane and I are the only ones actually following the plan.This means that we've fallen behind our schedule W:I see.And that's tricky. M:Yes,it is.We felt that the targets had been set so we'd all know what to deal with. But looking back,we probably should have really specified individual responsibilities from the beginning. W:Well,this is quite a common problem,actually.If you go to the resource center,I think you'd find the advice service they provide.They're helpful at this point. M:Thanks.We'll go there later. 17-20 M:Good evening,everyone.In today's show,my guest is Bronkar Lee.Bronkar Lee isn't a typical speaker.His unique background includes appearing on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno,being featured in a Super Bowl commercial,and beat boxing with his son in a viral video that received over 150 million views.He's a world-class performer who plays over 40 instruments,and he currently serves as President of the Georgia National Speakers'Association.Under his leadership,the organization has grown significantly.With his experiences in entertainment and business,Bronkar has developed a unique approach that combines music,storytelling,and interactive performance to inspire meaningful change.His work has been recognized by numerous industry awards.Bronkar is an outdoor enthusiast,the father of two young boys,once lived in New York and Los Angeles and currently calls Atlanta home.He's here today to share his unique experience.Please welcome Bronkar Lee!
