In her late 50s,Pat Gentile was identified with breast cancer.During cancer treatment,she
lost all her hair,so she began to wear a wig.
“But that wig一and I only had one wig一was uncomfortable,.and it was annoying,”
Gentile said..“So when I sort of had a crew cut look(平头发型),I decided that it was time to give
the wig up.”
The first time she was driving to work without the wig,Gentile felt exposed.As the head of
a local college and a frequent spokesperson,she worried about how people would respond."I
didn't want to get the pity eyes'that people give you when you're sick,"Gentile said."I wanted
to just keep moving.”
She stopped at a convenience store to pick up some coffee and lunch.As she shopped
through the passage,a woman approached her.Fifteen years later,Gentile still remembers what
the woman said."Not everybody could wear a hairstyle like that.You look fantastic."
Gentile was amazed.She managed to say,"Thank you,"before the woman walked away.
Then she went back to her car,letting the words settle."I sat there for a while,sort of treasuring
this wonderful,kind thing that this person had said to me,"Gentile said."And it really made a
turning point for me that made me feel seen,made me feel normal and gave me the courage to get
to work and just get started."

A glance around the things we have purchased at some point in our lives reveals a familiar
truth:not everything in our possession is being put to good use.The smartphone that got put away
when we bought ourselves the newest model,the car that only gets used at the weekends,or even
the guest room in our house that somehow got turned into a storeroom.These underutilized
possessions are more common than many realize.
Yet what appears useless to one person can be a valuable resource to another.With the
advent of the internet,digital platforms have enabled individuals to generate income by sharing or
renting out such dormant assets,giving birth to what is now known as the "sharing economy".
This transformation allows idle resources to be reactivated for mutual benefit
Consider parents with young children.Previously,they might have been reluctant to set up
a stall at a local market to sell outgrown baby clothes and equipment.However,online
marketplaces now permit them to sell or even rent out these items,thereby recouping part of their
高三英语试题第3页(共10页)
investment.The same logic applies to spare rooms and idle cars,which can be rented out through
specialized platforms.
Businesses have also recognized the profitability of this trend.Companies such as Airbnb
act as middlemen,enabling people to rent out unused accommodation for profit.Similarly,Uber
encourages individuals to use their personal vehicles as taxis to earn extra income.These
examples illustrate how the sharing economy turns inactive assets into revenue sources,benefiting
both providers and users.
This shift is not without criticism.Unlike authorized businesses,unlicensed individuals are
not bound by consistent rules,which can lead to variable quality of goods and services and an
increased risk of fraud ()Furthermore,legal disputes over property damage may arise.
Nevertheless,in today's consumerist society,the expanded opportunities to share or sell unwanted
goods may reduce overall consumption and lessen environmental damage.
8.What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1?
A.People often buy unnecessary things.
B.Our necessities are frequently upgraded.
C.We waste a lot unintentionally at times.
D.Much of our property is not fully used.
9.What makes the sharing economy possible?
A.The arrival of market economy.
B.Online digital platforms.
C.The popularity of computers.
D.The wide use of cell phones.
10.What does the underlined word"recouping"possibly mean in paragraph 3?
A.Donating.
B.Increasing.
C.Recovering.
D.Securing.
11.What is the author's attitude to the popularity of the sharing economy?
A.Favorable.
B.Intolerant.
C.Doubtful.

It seems like every day a new study finds microplastics where they should not be:in our
bodies and our food,water and air.Yet finding and identifying microplastics is extremely
challenging,especially given their small size.Additionally,it can be hard for researchers to avoid
unintentionally polluting their samples,because these plastics are practically everywhere.As a
result,much of this research may be overestimating the number of microplastics.
In the study published in March 2026,our team found that,even when following
established procedures,using certain methods to measure environmental microplastics can
高三英语试题第4页(共10页)
potentially contaminate (the results.As chemists at the University of Michigan,we set out
to understand how many microplastics Michiganders were breathing in when outside.We
followed all the standard procedures,but we found plastic counts in the air that were over 1,000
times greater than previous reports.
We knew these numbers didn't seem right,so what happened?Ultimately,we concluded
that laboratory gloves,which the scientific community recommends using as a best practice,can
transfer particles (to the surface of our samples.
Here's how:The particles,which we identified as stearate salts,are used to help the gloves
release from their model during the production process.When gloves are used to handle laboratory
equipment,the particles are transferred to anything they touch.
Researchers use vibrational spectroscopy(振动光谱)to identify microplastics,which
involves measuring how the particle interacts with light.Because microplastics and stearate salts
have very similar structures,they also interact with light in a similar way.This structural similarity
makes it difficult to distinguish them using vibrational spectroscopy to determine whether a
particle is plastic.Glove remains may be increasingly mistaken for microplastics.
While we had to abandon our initial dataset,we expect the lessons we learned about glove
pollution to reach other scientists.Definitely,we'll continue our research-but this time without
gloves.
12.What problem with microplastic research is stressed?
A.The severity of plastic pollution.
B.The challenge of recycling microplastics.
C.The difficulty in collecting plastics.
D.The misjudgment in microplastic detection
13.What did the Michigan chemists originally aim to study?
A.To figure out how to prevent sample pollution
B.To analyse residents'outdoor microplastic intake.
C.To evaluate microplastics'effects on Michiganders.
D.To confirm a proper microplastic measuring method.
14.How do the Michigan chemists view vibrational spectroscopy?
A.It fails to recognize stearate salts.B.It changes the structure of tiny particles.
C.It shortens the testing procedure.
D.It detects similar-sized plastic particles.

15.What is a suitable title for the text?
A.Testing Tools:Key to Spotting Tiny Plastics.
B.The Overestimation of Microplastics in Studies.

If you were asked about your commitments to others,you could possibly list them rapidly:
meetings,supporting friends,household chores,and work deadlines.Yet when it comes to what
you do for yourself,hesitation tends to follow-as if your own needs must always wait.16
In our daily life,we often put off self-care,imagining a future when everything is in order.
It's like chasing something unreal in the desert:we keep waiting for life to become less demanding,
as if that day will give us permission to begin.17 In fact,ignoring personal needs often
leads to tiredness and negative feelings over time.
Even in quiet moments,putting ourselves first can feel strange or uneasy.We may not know
where to begin,or feel we don't deserve the time for ourselves.18 Just as you finish
some tasks,new ones appear-from family matters to work goals.
The best time to reprioritize yourself is now.Taking time for yourself is not selfish-it
helps you regain energy and care for others better.19 Simple daily habits,like a short
walk or a quiet break,can help you stay energetic.The goal is to make yourself part of your
routine,not to be perfect.
_20 Without doing so,we risk constant tiredness and may become less effective in
all areas of life,which can affect our relationships,work,and happiness.Making yourself a
priority is not a one-time act,but a habit that needs to be practiced and maintained.
A.Besides,such moments are usually short-lived.
B.Yet that time seldom comes,leaving us always waiting.
C.Try to begin with small steps and keep them consistent.
D.Seeking perfection in self-care is important for real results.
E.Therefore,placing yourself among your priorities is crucial.
F.Some argue that focusing on oneself weakens responsibilities to others.
G.This common pattern reveals how easily we overlook our own well-being.

written characters.For more than 3,000 years,time38(witness)their profound
involvement in different historical periods in politics,economy,art,culture,everyday life,and
many other fields.
Seal engraving involves three key techniques:Zhuan method,layout,and carving
techniques.The Zhuan method39(refer)to understanding seal script and arranging
characters40(proper)on the seal face.Layout focuses on balancing the composition of
characters,considering spacing,density,and visual flow.Carving techniques employ various knife
methods 41 cutting and pushing.
The art of seal engraving is a cornerstone of Chinese fine arts.In addition to mastery of
traditional calligraphy,the art of engraving requires 42 high degree of virtuosity,since
the artist works on a tiny surface area43 every curve and thickness of line counts.The
very diverse themes are the fruit of the artists'imagination and culture.As an instrument of
calligraphy and painting,the seal is a work of art 44 (it).It expresses an entire culture's
ideas about humankind and nature.Today,seals continue to be used in official documents and
private 45(correspond).Even though those understanding the complex characters are
ever fewer,the art of seal engraving is still practiced by both professionals and amateurs.

Eddie valued his family's accordion(手风琴)一a treasure passed down from his
grandfather to his father,representing his Mexican-American family's Tejano music tradition.
Raised in San Antonio neighborhood filled with Tejano rhythms,Eddie learned the instrument
from his father and formed the band Las Estrellas (The Stars)with childhood friends:Luis on
drums and Ruben on guitar.
Each day,Eddie hurried to Luis's house for practice,struggling with the heavy accordion
case while worrying about Ruben.Though a gifted guitarist who picked up songs quickly and
loved playing with the band,Ruben hated practicing alone.He was always late,and his lack of
solo(单g独的)practice led to constant mistakes一a growing problem for the trio(三重奏)
Their lives changed when Luis handed Eddie an envelope from the Tejano Festival:an
invitation to perform in just two months.The boys celebrated wildly,but Eddie's joy was mixed
with anxiety,hoping the opportunity would motivate Ruben to practice.That night,Eddie shared
the news with his family.His father,a former festival winner,presented a trophy (with
"First Place"written on it and encouraged him,"You belong there and will shine."Eddie admitted
his worry about Ruben,who was too talented and dear a friend to replace.His father advised,
高三英语试题第9页(共10页)

At their next practice,Ruben messed up the festival song at the very beginning.He claimed
sore fingers from building a hut(简陋的小屋),but Luis accused him of skipping practice.Ruben
got annoyed,and Eddie was angry.Following his father's advice,Eddie asked Ruben why he
didn't play at home as he should.Ruben admitted,"My guitar sounds lonely alone,and I can't
focus.”
Upon learning where Ruben's problem lay,Eddie decided to take immediate action to make
practice fun for Ruben.On the way to Luis's,Eddie came up with a plan:practice together at
Ruben's house daily.Luis agreed and they ordered Ruben's favorite pizza for a surprise.

from strange links.For another,it is essential to develop critical thinking so that we
can evaluate online information objectively rather than follow online trends blindly.
Let's become sensible netizens and create a healthy network environment!

"We're a band.We don't practice alone-we practice together."For the next two months,
they showed up at Ruben's house every afternoon.They laughed through mistakes,adjusted
the song to highlight Ruben's guitar skills,and turned practice into a joyful time.Ruben no

If you were asked about your commitments to others, you could possibly list them rapidly: meetings, supporting friends, household chores, and work deadlines. Yet when it comes to what you do for yourself, hesitation tends to follow—as if your own needs must always wait. 16
In our daily life, we often put off self-care, imagining a future when everything is in order. It’s like chasing something unreal in the desert: we keep waiting for life to become less demanding, as if that day will give us permission to begin. 17 In fact, ignoring personal needs often leads to tiredness and negative feelings over time.
Even in quiet moments, putting ourselves first can feel strange or uneasy. We may not know where to begin, or feel we don’t deserve the time for ourselves. 18 Just as you finish some tasks, new ones appear—from family matters to work goals.
The best time to reprioritize yourself is now. Taking time for yourself is not selfish—it helps you regain energy and care for others better. 19 Simple daily habits, like a short walk or a quiet break, can help you stay energetic. The goal is to make yourself part of your routine, not to be perfect.
20 Without doing so, we risk constant tiredness and may become less effective in all areas of life, which can affect our relationships, work, and happiness. Making yourself a priority is not a one-time act, but a habit that needs to be practiced and maintained.
A.Besides, such moments are usually short-lived.
B.Yet that time seldom comes, leaving us always waiting.
C.Try to begin with small steps and keep them consistent.
D.Seeking perfection in self-care is important for real results.
E.Therefore, placing yourself among your priorities is crucial.
F.Some argue that focusing on oneself weakens responsibilities to others.
G.This common pattern reveals how easily we overlook our own well-being.
二、完形填空(共15小题,每小题1分,满分15分)
I’ve grown used to the pause. That moment when someone hears my 21 — Goodluck — and looks at me with 22 or hesitation. “Wait, is that really your name?” “How do you spell it?” It’s something I didn’t think would require a lot of explanation.
Back in Nigeria, it didn’t. Names like Precious, Beauty or Grace were common. I didn’t realize how 23 my name was until I travelled to the United States. That was the first time “Goodluck” 24 blending in. I thought it would be easy for people to hear and remember. But instead of recognition, it was 25 repetition and disbelief. I had to 26 it out. Repeat it, countless times.
I couldn’t understand why something normal back home needed so much 27 in the U.S. But I also felt a quiet sense of gratitude. I never had to change my name to 28 . I’ve met people who 29 the names their families gave them just to make things easier. I understood their reasons, yet I was all the more proud that I didn’t have to compromise my name.
In Nigerian culture, names are more than words — they’re 30 . Some reflect the circumstances of birth, while others are blessings for the child’s future. Mine remains a 31 . I don’t know why my parents chose it. I’ve never asked. To some, it means I carry good 32 with me. To others, it means I bring it.
But what started as just a name has become a part of me I now lead with. It’s one of the few things I’ve carried 33 . In a new country, surrounded by new people, cultures, and places, my name has become a thread that 34 me to where I’m from. It’s a 35 that home isn’t something I left behind — it’s something I carry with me.
21.A.name B.wish C.blessing D.response

Eddie valued his family’s accordion (手风琴) — a treasure passed down from his grandfather to his father, representing his Mexican-American family’s Tejano music tradition. Raised in San Antonio neighborhood filled with Tejano rhythms, Eddie learned the instrument from his father and formed the band Las Estrellas (“The Stars”) with childhood friends: Luis on drums and Ruben on guitar.
Each day, Eddie hurried to Luis’s house for practice, struggling with the heavy accordion case while worrying about Ruben. Though a gifted guitarist who picked up songs quickly and loved playing with the band, Ruben hated practicing alone. He was always late, and his lack of solo (单独的) practice led to constant mistakes — a growing problem for the trio (三重奏).
Their lives changed when Luis handed Eddie an envelope from the Tejano Festival: an invitation to perform in just two months. The boys celebrated wildly, but Eddie’s joy was mixed with anxiety, hoping the opportunity would motivate Ruben to practice. That night, Eddie shared the news with his family. His father, a former festival winner, presented a trophy (奖杯) with “First Place” written on it and encouraged him, “You belong there and will shine.” Eddie admitted his worry about Ruben, who was too talented and dear a friend to replace. His father advised, “Find out why he won’t practice alone and help him.”
At their next practice, Ruben messed up the festival song at the very beginning. He claimed sore fingers from building a hut (简陋的小屋), but Luis accused him of skipping practice. Ruben got annoyed, and Eddie was angry. Following his father’s advice, Eddie asked Ruben why he didn’t play at home as he should. Ruben admitted, “My guitar sounds lonely alone, and I can’t focus.”
Upon learning where Ruben’s problem lay, Eddie decided to take immediate action to make practice fun for Ruben. On the way to Luis’s, Eddie came up with a plan: practice together at Ruben’s house daily. Luis agreed and they ordered Ruben’s favorite pizza for a surprise.
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。
With pizza in hand, Eddie and Luis arrived at Ruben’s door.
