Yes, ducks. “I had always wanted ducks, or at least one duck,” she tells USA TODAY over a video call from her home in Arizona, with a diaper-clad (带着尿布的) duck named Mooney resting in a baby house at her side. “I’ve also wanted deer — don’t get me started on that — but anyways, I’ve always wanted ducks.” So, she took a quack at it. McLeod got her wish for family ducks after she moved her three kids from California to the Grand Canyon State in April of last year. Her mental health was falling, not to mention she was diagnosed with a few autoimmune diseases (自身免疫性疾病). McLeod, 43, is a single mum and she wanted to own a house to hand-down to her kids one day — therefore the move to a much richer state. After they settled in, McLeod finally scratched the itch last August. “I’m going to do it. Today’s the day,” she remembers. A local organic farm store in Mesa had 12 ducklings and they told her to come in. Her kids didn’t believe what was happening. “It took them a few minutes,” she says. “I think they thought that I was really making fun of them.” But there the ducks were, in a tub under a heat lamp and everything. The family took two home that day: Jelly and Mooney, both Indian Runner ducks. They later raised a third, Topsy, a Cayuga duck. It’s changed their life for the better, and excited millions of TikTok followers and hundreds of thousands of Instagram followers along the way. Research shows, after all, pets lower stress levels and even help with heart health. “The ducks came into our lives during such a — especially for me — just a really dark period and just brightened up our lives,” she says. “They have brought us the unbelievable happiness, and it’s always something that we’re laughing about together.” 4. When did McLeod start wanting ducks? A. Last August. B. Last April. C. Before she moved to the new state. D. Before she was ill. 5. What does the underlined phrase “scratched the itch” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Satisfied a desire. B. Felt very nervous. C. Had a skin problem. D. Made a big fortune. 6. How many ducks does McLeod raise in all? A. One. B. Three. C. Twelve. D. Fifteen. 7. What does McLeod mainly want to tell us? A. How ducks changed her life. B. Her experience of moving. C. The benefits of having pets. D. How ducks are raised. C When scientists look for an earthquake’s cause, their search often starts underground. As centuries of earthquake researches have made clear, it’s the crash of makeup plates and the movement of underground faults and cracks that mainly lead to an earthquake. But MIT scientists have now found that certain weather events may also play a role in setting off some quakes. In a study appearing recently in Science Advances, the researchers report that happenings of heavy snowfall and rain likely led to a series of earthquakes over the past several years in northern Japan. The study is the first to show that climate conditions could cause some quakes. “We see that snowfall and other environmental loading at the surface affect the stress state underground, and the timing of heavy rainfall events is well-connected with the start of this earthquake crowds,” says study author William Frank, an assistant professor in MIT’s Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences. “So, climate obviously has an effect on the response of the solid earth, and part of that response is earthquakes.” The new study focuses on a series of ongoing earthquakes in Japan’s Noto Peninsula. The team discovered that earthquake activity in the area is surprisingly in step with certain changes in underground pressure, and that those changes are influenced by seasonal patterns of snowfall and rainfall. The scientists doubt that this new connection between quakes and climate may not be unique to Japan and could play a role in shaking up other parts of the world. Looking to the future, they predict that the climate’s influence on earthquakes could be more pronounced with global warming. “If we’re going into a climate that’s changing, with more extreme rainfall events, and we expect a redistribution of water in the atmosphere, oceans, and continents, that will change how the Earth’s crust (地壳) is loaded,” Frank adds. “That will have an effect for sure, and it’s a link we could further explore.” 8. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 1? A. Introduce the main topic. B. Describe a scientific experiment. C. Present different opinions on earthquakes. D. Explain the causes of earthquakes in detail. 9. What is the finding of the study? A. Heavy rainfall indicates big earthquakes. B. Global warming will lead to more snowfall. C. There will be more and more earthquakes in the future. D. Certain weather events may contribute to some earthquakes. 10. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A. The research results will be applied immediately. B. The influence of climate on earthquakes will decrease. C. There will be no earthquakes caused by underground faults. D. More research on the climate-earthquake link will be conducted. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. The Secret of Earthquakes B. How to Predict Earthquakes C. Climate and Earthquakes: A New Link D. The Effects of Global Warming on Earthquakes D Apple announced four new iPhone 16 models during a launch event September 9 from its headquarters in Cupertino, California. It said the new models are equipped with special chips to support the increased power needed for AI operations. Apple says the AI built into the devices is part of its newly developed Apple Intelligence technology. The company describes the technology as a “personal intelligence system” designed to help users “communicate, work, and express” themselves. The new AI tools, or features, are designed to improve on past ones, including the company’s 13-year-old Siri digital assistant. Company officials say they aim to get Siri to better understand requests and actions of the user. One new feature of iPhone 16 models lets users search for pictures in their images collection by describing what an image looks like. AI tools can also help users create personal emojis and can organize and provide brief descriptions of emails. Other AI features include improved camera and video production functions. The new iPhone models are also equipped with a new button that reacts to clicks and hand movements to make it easier and faster to set up shots, capture images and start video recording. Apple’s push to include AI tools in its new devices is partly seen as a reaction to moves by competitors like Samsung and Google. Both of those companies have already offered users powerful new AI tools in their latest smartphone models. In addition to the new AI features offered, Apple has also teamed up with ChatGPT developer OpenAI to give users the chance to use that company’s technology for more complex operations. In June, Apple announced it was working with OpenAI to create a series of AI tools for iPhones and other personal devices. Besides announcing the new AI-equipped devices, Apple also introduced new models of its Apple Watch and AirPods headphones. The Apple Watch Series 10 has a larger and brighter display that aims to improve views from any position. The changes to Apple Watch also include additional health features, such as a sleep monitor tool that aims to identify the disorder sleep apnea (睡眠呼吸暂停症). 12. Why do the new models have special chips? A. To enhance iPhone’s market competitiveness. B. To ensure the speed of mobile Internet access. C. To make it easier to take pictures with iPhones. D. To support the higher power required for AI operations. 13. What is a new feature of iPhone 16 models? A. Siri digital assistant is replaced. B. A new button is added to create emojis. C. AI tools help organize users’ emails by date. D. Users can find pictures through descriptions. 14. What can we say about Apple’s new devices? A. They’re more complex than Google’s. B. They’re unsuccessful compared to Samsung. C. They’re very competitive cooperating with OpenAI. D. They’re gradually being replaced by other companies’ products. 15. What might the author continue talking about? A. The price of Apple 16. B. The changes of AirPods headphones. C. The advantages of AI tools. D. The reason for the disorder sleep apnea. 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。 Effective communication is the process of expressing your thoughts, opinions, and ideas while listening to the input of others.

This is a lesson I learned all too well. My name is Alex and at 15 years old, I excelled academically yet longed for popularity among my peers (同龄人). Despite my achievements. I felt overshadowed and unnoticed. The desire to stand out consumed me, pushing me towards a terrible mistake. One day, during a visit to the IT lab with my friends, our teacher mentioned missing computer parts. Curious glances exchanged, everyone wondered aloud how it could happen in a locked lab. "It's possible to open that lock with another key," I said, seeking attention and admiration from my peers. Eyes turned to me with interest. It was a rush I'd never felt before—a taste of the attention I wanted so much. To keep it, I even showed how the lock could be opened. Little did I realise, that single moment of pride would lead to an unexpected trouble. The following day, I was called to the principal's office. My heart pounded as I entered. Mr Clark, the principal, looked at me not with anger, but with a calm and kind expression. "Alex," he began gently, "some computer parts are missing from the lab. A few students mentioned you showed them how the lock could be opened. Can you tell me what happened yesterday?" His voice was soft, not accusing. Still, nervousness tightened my throat. I knew I hadn't taken anything, but I was scared of being misunderstood and ashamed of my own foolish boast (吹嘘). I tried to speak, but no words came out. My eyes grew wet with tears. Seeing this, Mr Clark said quietly, "It's okay. You don't have to answer now. If you remember anything later, you can come tell me." He gave me a kind nod and let me return to class. That evening, I told my dad everything—how I had shown off about the lock, how I was called to the office, and how I was too upset to explain myself clearly. 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。 Dad listened quietly and then told me, "We all make mistakes, but brave people fix them." ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That experience changed how I saw myself. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 大荔中学2026~2027学年第一学期9月月考试卷 高三英语 (试卷满分：150分，考试时间：120分钟) 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题日的答案标号涂黑，如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号；回答非选择题时，用0.5mm的黑色字迹签字笔将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，请将答题卡上交。 4.本卷主要命题范围：必修第一册~必修第二册Unit 2。 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秒钟的时间来同答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

Yes, ducks. “I had always wanted ducks, or at least one duck,” she tells USA TODAY over a video call from her home in Arizona, with a diaper-clad (带着尿布的) duck named Mooney resting in a baby house at her side. “I’ve also wanted deer — don’t get me started on that — but anyways, I’ve always wanted ducks.” So, she took a quack at it. McLeod got her wish for family ducks after she moved her three kids from California to the Grand Canyon State in April of last year. Her mental health was falling, not to mention she was diagnosed with a few autoimmune diseases (自身免疫性疾病). McLeod, 43, is a single mum and she wanted to own a house to hand-down to her kids one day — therefore the move to a much richer state. After they settled in, McLeod finally scratched the itch last August. “I’m going to do it. Today’s the day,” she remembers. A local organic farm store in Mesa had 12 ducklings and they told her to come in. Her kids didn’t believe what was happening. “It took them a few minutes,” she says. “I think they thought that I was really making fun of them.” But there the ducks were, in a tub under a heat lamp and everything. The family took two home that day: Jelly and Mooney, both Indian Runner ducks. They later raised a third, Topsy, a Cayuga duck. It’s changed their life for the better, and excited millions of TikTok followers and hundreds of thousands of Instagram followers along the way. Research shows, after all, pets lower stress levels and even help with heart health. “The ducks came into our lives during such a — especially for me — just a really dark period and just brightened up our lives,” she says. “They have brought us the unbelievable happiness, and it’s always something that we’re laughing about together.” 4. When did McLeod start wanting ducks? A. Last August. B. Last April. C. Before she moved to the new state. D. Before she was ill. 5. What does the underlined phrase “scratched the itch” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Satisfied a desire. B. Felt very nervous. C. Had a skin problem. D. Made a big fortune. 6. How many ducks does McLeod raise in all? A. One. B. Three. C. Twelve. D. Fifteen. 7. What does McLeod mainly want to tell us? A. How ducks changed her life. B. Her experience of moving. C. The benefits of having pets. D. How ducks are raised. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Eeka McLeod带着三个孩子从加州搬到亚利桑那州后，如何通过养鸭子改善了自己和家人的生活质量，并在这个过程中获得了大量社交媒体的关注。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段““I had always wanted ducks, or at least one duck,” she tells USA TODAY over a video call from her home in Arizona, with a diaper-clad (带着尿布的) duck named Mooney resting in a baby house at her side. (“我一直想要鸭子，或者至少一只鸭子，”她在家中通过视频通话告诉《今日美国》，旁边是一个穿着尿布的名叫穆尼的鸭子，它正躺在一个婴儿屋里休息)”以及第三段中“McLeod got her wish for family ducks after she moved her three kids from California to the Grand Canyon State in April of last year. (麦克劳德在去年四月把她的三个孩子从加利福尼亚搬到了大峡谷州之后，实现了她拥有家庭鸭子的愿望)”可知，McLeod在把三个孩子从加利福尼亚州搬到大峡谷州之后实现了养鸭子的愿望，而这件事发生在去年四月。由此推知，她在搬到新州之前就想要鸭子了。故选C。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第四段中“After they settled in, McLeod finally scratched the itch last August. (在他们安顿下来之后，麦克劳德终于在去年八月scratched the itch)”可知，“scratched the itch”是一个比喻，指的是满足了她的愿望或欲望。根据上下文可以推断出，她之前一直想养鸭子，现在终于实现了这个愿望。所以“scratched the itch”在这里的意思是“满足了愿望”。A.Satisfied a desire满足一个愿望； B. Felt very nervous感到非常紧张；C. Had a skin problem有皮肤问题； D. Made a big fortune发了一大笔财。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段中“The family took two home that day: Jelly and Mooney, both Indian Runner ducks. They later raised a third, Topsy, a Cayuga duck. (那天这家人带了两只回家：Jelly和Mooney，都是印度跑鸭。后来他们又养了一只，Topsy，一只卡尤加鸭)”可知，McLeod家一开始养了两只鸭子：Jelly和Mooney，后来又养了一只叫Topsy的鸭子。由此可知，McLeod家一共养了三只鸭子。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章主要讲述了McLeod一家养鸭子的经历，以及这些鸭子给他们的生活带来的变化和快乐，尤其是根据文章倒数第二段中“It’s changed their life for the better, and excited millions of TikTok followers and hundreds of thousands of Instagram followers along the way. (它改变了他们的生活，让他们过得更好，一路上还激动了数百万抖音粉丝和数十万Instagram粉丝)”以及最后一段中““The ducks came into our lives during such a — especially for me — just a really dark period and just brightened up our lives,” she says. (“鸭子在我们生活中出现的时候正是——特别是对我来说——一段非常黑暗的时期，它们真的点亮了我们的生活，”她说)”可知，文章主要讲述了鸭子如何改变了McLeod一家的生活。故选A。 C When scientists look for an earthquake’s cause, their search often starts underground. As centuries of earthquake researches have made clear, it’s the crash of makeup plates and the movement of underground faults and cracks that mainly lead to an earthquake. But MIT scientists have now found that certain weather events may also play a role in setting off some quakes. In a study appearing recently in Science Advances, the researchers report that happenings of heavy snowfall and rain likely led to a series of earthquakes over the past several years in northern Japan. The study is the first to show that climate conditions could cause some quakes. “We see that snowfall and other environmental loading at the surface affect the stress state underground, and the timing of heavy rainfall events is well-connected with the start of this earthquake crowds,” says study author William Frank, an assistant professor in MIT’s Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences. “So, climate obviously has an effect on the response of the solid earth, and part of that response is earthquakes.” The new study focuses on a series of ongoing earthquakes in Japan’s Noto Peninsula. The team discovered that earthquake activity in the area is surprisingly in step with certain changes in underground pressure, and that those changes are influenced by seasonal patterns of snowfall and rainfall. The scientists doubt that this new connection between quakes and climate may not be unique to Japan and could play a role in shaking up other parts of the world. Looking to the future, they predict that the climate’s influence on earthquakes could be more pronounced with global warming. “If we’re going into a climate that’s changing, with more extreme rainfall events, and we expect a redistribution of water in the atmosphere, oceans, and continents, that will change how the Earth’s crust (地壳) is loaded,” Frank adds. “That will have an effect for sure, and it’s a link we could further explore.” 8. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 1? A. Introduce the main topic. B. Describe a scientific experiment. C. Present different opinions on earthquakes. D. Explain the causes of earthquakes in detail. 9. What is the finding of the study? A. Heavy rainfall indicates big earthquakes. B. Global warming will lead to more snowfall. C. There will be more and more earthquakes in the future. D. Certain weather events may contribute to some earthquakes. 10. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A. The research results will be applied immediately. B. The influence of climate on earthquakes will decrease. C. There will be no earthquakes caused by underground faults. D. More research on the climate-earthquake link will be conducted. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. The Secret of Earthquakes B. How to Predict Earthquakes C. Climate and Earthquakes: A New Link D. The Effects of Global Warming on Earthquakes 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了地震的传统成因，如地壳板块碰撞和地下断层移动，并报道了MIT科学家最新的研究发现，即特定的天气事件，例如大雪和降雨，可能对某些地震的发生起到促进作用。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“But MIT scientists have now found that certain weather events may also play a role in setting off some quakes.

It said the new models are equipped with special chips to support the increased power needed for AI operations. Apple says the AI built into the devices is part of its newly developed Apple Intelligence technology. The company describes the technology as a “personal intelligence system” designed to help users “communicate, work, and express” themselves. The new AI tools, or features, are designed to improve on past ones, including the company’s 13-year-old Siri digital assistant. Company officials say they aim to get Siri to better understand requests and actions of the user. One new feature of iPhone 16 models lets users search for pictures in their images collection by describing what an image looks like. AI tools can also help users create personal emojis and can organize and provide brief descriptions of emails. Other AI features include improved camera and video production functions. The new iPhone models are also equipped with a new button that reacts to clicks and hand movements to make it easier and faster to set up shots, capture images and start video recording. Apple’s push to include AI tools in its new devices is partly seen as a reaction to moves by competitors like Samsung and Google. Both of those companies have already offered users powerful new AI tools in their latest smartphone models. In addition to the new AI features offered, Apple has also teamed up with ChatGPT developer OpenAI to give users the chance to use that company’s technology for more complex operations. In June, Apple announced it was working with OpenAI to create a series of AI tools for iPhones and other personal devices. Besides announcing the new AI-equipped devices, Apple also introduced new models of its Apple Watch and AirPods headphones. The Apple Watch Series 10 has a larger and brighter display that aims to improve views from any position. The changes to Apple Watch also include additional health features, such as a sleep monitor tool that aims to identify the disorder sleep apnea (睡眠呼吸暂停症). 12.

This is a lesson I learned all too well. My name is Alex and at 15 years old, I excelled academically yet longed for popularity among my peers (同龄人). Despite my achievements. I felt overshadowed and unnoticed. The desire to stand out consumed me, pushing me towards a terrible mistake. One day, during a visit to the IT lab with my friends, our teacher mentioned missing computer parts. Curious glances exchanged, everyone wondered aloud how it could happen in a locked lab. "It's possible to open that lock with another key," I said, seeking attention and admiration from my peers. Eyes turned to me with interest. It was a rush I'd never felt before—a taste of the attention I wanted so much. To keep it, I even showed how the lock could be opened. Little did I realise, that single moment of pride would lead to an unexpected trouble. The following day, I was called to the principal's office. My heart pounded as I entered. Mr Clark, the principal, looked at me not with anger, but with a calm and kind expression. "Alex," he began gently, "some computer parts are missing from the lab. A few students mentioned you showed them how the lock could be opened. Can you tell me what happened yesterday?" His voice was soft, not accusing. Still, nervousness tightened my throat. I knew I hadn't taken anything, but I was scared of being misunderstood and ashamed of my own foolish boast (吹嘘). I tried to speak, but no words came out. My eyes grew wet with tears. Seeing this, Mr Clark said quietly, "It's okay. You don't have to answer now. If you remember anything later, you can come tell me." He gave me a kind nod and let me return to class. That evening, I told my dad everything—how I had shown off about the lock, how I was called to the office, and how I was too upset to explain myself clearly. 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。 Dad listened quietly and then told me, "We all make mistakes, but brave people fix them." ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That experience changed how I saw myself. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Dad listened quietly and then told me, "We all make mistakes, but brave people fix them." The next morning, he came to school with me. With his support, I calmly explained everything to Mr Clark. I admitted I had shown off about the lock, but I also firmly stated that I never took anything. After hearing my explanation, Mr Clark nodded thoughtfully and suggested we go check the lab together. We went with the lab teacher to look again—and there were the missing parts, left behind by another student who had forgotten to return them. That experience changed how I saw myself. I stopped trying to show off to get my classmates' attention. Instead, I spent my free time helping others with maths and joined the school's computer club. When peers asked about the incident, I told the whole story honestly—including my regret. No one looked down on me; in fact, several of them started spending more time with me. I finally learned that real trust doesn't come from showing off, but from being sincere, reliable, and true to yourself. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述15岁的 “我”学业优秀但渴望在同龄人中受欢迎。在信息技术实验室，老师提及电脑零件丢失，“我”为吸引注意炫耀能打开实验室的锁。次日，“我“被校长叫到办公室询问，因紧张害怕未解释清楚。当晚，“我”将此事告知父亲。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“爸爸静静地听着，然后告诉我：“我们都会犯错，但勇敢的人会去弥补过错。””可知，第一段续写应围绕父亲的鼓励展开，描述在父亲陪伴下，“我” 向校长解释清楚事情，最后发现是其他同学遗忘零件导致误会。 ②由第二段首句内容“那次经历改变了我对自己的看法”可知，第二段，续写要体现这次经历对 “我” 的改变，“我”不再炫耀，而是通过帮助他人和参加社团展现真实自己，从而收获信任和友谊，领悟到真诚和可靠的重要性。 2.续写线索：在父亲帮助下向校长解释——误会解除——“我”改变行为方式——领悟到真诚的意义 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①承认：admit /confess ②解释：explain /clarify ③检查： check /examine 情绪类： ①平静地：calmly /peacefully ②诚实地：honestly /trustily 【点睛】【高分句型 1】When peers asked about the incident, I told the whole story honestly—including my regret.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型 2】I finally learned that real trust doesn't come from showing off, but from being sincere, reliable, and true to yourself.（运用 that 引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
