kind acts.And I see those acts of kindness,those acts of goodness,and those acts of love every time I see
one of these work camps helping those in need.May we all learn from their example..”所以“做好事与待人
友善”比较符合作者要表达的主题。
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了深海齿鲸靠内置声纳反射声波定位猎物,新研究发现海洋塑料垃
圾因形状、大小等因素产生的“回声”与枪乌贼相似,致使齿鲸可能误食。大量案例显示塑料碎片进入海洋哺乳
动物肠道,致其胃部受损、感染、室息、营养不良甚至饿死。文章还提到了一些可能的解决方案。

experiential purchases,such as travel,meals at restaurants and recreation,tend to bring people more
【高三英语参考答案第1页(共5页)】
happiness than material ones,and can promote a greater sense of social connection,”可推知,体验式购买是
参与活动或经历。选项“看付费魔术表演”是体验式购买的典型例子。
33.D词义猜测题。根据文章第三段“Although the unpleasant social comparison can create a sense of social

56.where考查定语从句。从句“the construction site of the West Tianshan tunnel on the G219 highway
stands'”是非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词“the heart of the West Tianshan Mountains”,表示地点,所以用
where来引导该定语从句,where在从句中作地点状语,意思是“在…的地方”。
【高三英语参考答案第2页(共5页)】
57.as考查介词。这里表示“作为”,用于说明前面提到的这个部分(the construction site of the West Tianshan
tunnel)起到的关键通道(a key passage through the West Tianshan Mountains)的作用。
58.longest考查形容词最高级。and连接并列成分,后面是“first'”,前面应该用最高级“longest”来体现隧道在
国内公路建设多个方面是最长的这一特征,表示“最长的”。
59.arising考查非谓语动词。arise from sth.意为“由…引起:因…产生”。句子中已经有谓语动词
“faced'”,这里用现在分词“arising'”作后置定语来修饰“challenges'”,说明这些挑战是因偏远位置而产生的。
60.innovative考查词性转换。此处需要形容词来修饰“improvements'”,表示“创新的改进”,用“innovative”来
说明针对复杂地质条件所做出的改进具有创新性。
61.measures考查名词复数。“with”是介词,后面接名词,这里表示“带有绿色施工的措施”,用复数形式
“measures”来体现多种措施。
62.a考查冠词。“UNESCO site'”是可数名词短语,这里表示“一个(某个)世界遗产名录遗址”,所以用不定冠
词“a”。
63.timely考查词性转化。修饰“charging”,表示充电的方式是及时的、适时的,符合语境中对施工过程中新能
源设备及高压充电站的使用描述。
64.to guarantee考查非谓语动词。这里用动词不定式表示目的,说明春节期间继续施工是为了确保能在
2027年按时完工,所以用“to guarantee”。
65.will be reduced考查动词时态和语态。根据语境,这里是表示在未来(隧道建成后),两个县之间的驾车距
离会被缩短,需要用一般将来时的被动语态,即“will be十过去分词”结构,所以用“will be reduced”。
第一节
One possible version:
Dear Karl,
I'm writing to share with you my opinion on using Al for learning.I believe that Al can be a helpful tool to
enhance our study efficiency,especially for subjects like mathematics and languages.It can offer personalized
feedback and help us focus on areas where we need improvement.
Therefore,I suggest we use AI wisely.Firstly,it's important to maintain a balance and not overly depend
on it.AI should complement traditional learning methods,not replace them.Further more,we should also be
cautious about its limitations and always verify the information it provides.
In short,AI should be used as a supplementary tool,rather than replacing the abilities of critical thinking
and creativity.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
The next afternoon,Mike and Clara hid nearby with a small surprise.When a girl with pigtails
approached,tiptoeing nervously towards the mailbox,they stepped forward with warm smiles."Are you
Emma?"Mike asked gently.The girl nodded.Clara knelt down,unveiling a delicate wooden swing with
intricate carvings."For Bunny,"she said softly.Emma's eyes sparkled like stars.With a joyful,silent gasp,
she gently took Bunny from the mailbox and placed it on the tiny seat."It's absolutely perfect,"she breathed.
Then she whispered,"I wish all my toys had a cottage to play in."
Learning Emma's wish,the couple decided to build a toy cottage.Mike disappeared into his dusty
workshop,his hands rediscovering the familiar rhythm of measuring and cutting wood.Clara sketched
imaginative designs-little windows,flowers dancing across a sunny yellow door.Days later,a mini masterpiece
stood beside the mailbox.When Emma arrived,her jaw dropped."A real toy house,"she yelled,tenderly
arranging Bunny and others inside.Watching her pure joy,Mike felt his retired heart awakening,while Clara's
eyes glistened with tears.They'd created something magical-not just a toy cottage,but a sanctuary where
childhood wonder bloomed eternal.

A dog's loyalty is an unbreakable bond,a determined devotion that knows no limits,even in the face of
danger.Earlier this month,a family's dog sprang into action to save one of his owners during a terrible incident
in New Hampshire.86-year-old Ned Tarmey is recovering in the hospital after being attacked by a neighbour
outside his Manchester home.Family members credit the family dog for saving his life.Brittney Ardizzoni,
Ned's great-niece,said the man was throwing outdoor furniture,chairs,bricks,and rocks."When he opened up
the door,he got hit by a brick,"Jeff Tarmey,the sufferer's nephew said.The family dog,Kane,described by
family members as "sweet and affectionate",quickly went into protective mode,catching the man and holding
him down until authorities arrived.The attack appears to have been accidental,as Ned and the attacker had never
met before the incident.Ned is continuing his recovery in the hospital after being discharged from the ICU.He
was reunited with Kane in his hospital bed,telling his loyal dog,"You saved my life!"

One of the most beautiful signs of summer here in the mountains of my home isn't the
flowers,or the trees or the early morning sunrises.It is instead the return of the work camps.
These are week-long trips that voluntary groups make into our area to help people to make
home repairs that they couldn't afford to do themselves.
They are mostly kind-hearted teenagers giving up part of their summer vacation.They
are always supervised ()though,by experienced builders who know what they are
doing.It always brings a smile to my face and a joy to my heart to see them out there in the
hot summer sun working to help those who need it most,with their only pay being the love in
their hearts.
I remember watching one group building a new set of steps for a front porch()one
year.It was 5 teenagers being supervised by one adult.What got me the most was listening to
him encouraging them.I lost count of how many times he said,"Good job"or "Doing good"
to them.
There was one girl,however,who obviously had never held a hammer()before.She
bent 3 nails in a row working on one board.Finally the man knelt down beside her and instead
of criticizing her,gave her a ten-minute tutorial on how to hammer a nail.When he was done,
she tried again with a weak smile on her face and drove the nail in like an expert carpenter.
The man looked down at her work and said,"Doing good!"once again.
Yes!They truly are doing good in this world.For every act of kindness there are a
million kind acts.And I see those acts of kindness,those acts of goodness,and those acts of
love every time I see one of these work camps helping those in need.May we all learn from
their example.
24.Why do work camps come to the mountains annually?
A.To seek for volunteers.
B.To enjoy summer scenery.
C.To do some maintenance work
D.To train teenagers to construct.
25.What is the role of the experienced builders?
A.Inspiring the teenagers.
B.Guiding teenagers'work.
C.Monitoring the teenagers.
D.Giving praises to the teenagers.
【高三英语第3页(共8页)】
26.What can we know about the girl?
A.She was impatient.
B.She was a slow learner.
C.She always made mistakes.
D.She was a green hand.
27.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Doing Good and Being Kind
B.Enjoying the Summer Scenery
C.Witnessing Summer Camps
D.Discovering Teenager Builders
C
To find food in the darkness,deep-diving toothed whales rely on their built-in sonar(
)which bounces soundwaves off potential prey to reveal their location.But to these
whales,plastic junk floating in the ocean may also“sound”just like a delicious squid(枪乌贼).
A new study suggests plastic debris(H)like shopping bags bear remarkably similar
"echoes"to those of squid-likely due to some combination of their shape,size,degree of
weathering,and chemical composition,the authors write.As it spreads in marine
environments,it is also showing up in the guts(of marine mammals across hundreds of
reported cases,damaging their stomach tissues and causing infection,choking,and
malnutrition to the point of starvation.Matthew Savoca,a marine biologist at Stanford
University says,"They're in pain,they're starving,but they think they're eating."
For the study,published in Marine Pollution Bulletin,Merrill and his colleagues
gathered nine plastic items:bags,balloons,and other common trash found in whales from
North Carolina beaches.The research team hit the items with sound waves at frequencies that
toothed whales use to hunt.They repeated the process on five dead squid bodies provided by
the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill,as well as five squid beaks taken from a dead
sperm whale's stomach.All plastic items tested,the team found,returned echoes as strong as
or stronger than those from the squid.
It's unknown whether deep-diving toothed whales use any means other than echo strength
to distinguish food from not-food-but experts doubt it.Mouthfeel certainly doesn't factor in.
“They don't really chew and taste like us.It's more like suction(吸食),”says Laura Redaelli,
a Ph.D student in marine biology.
All three experts agree on the need to reduce plastic production in the first place.The
ideal approach,Savoca and Merrill say,involves policy changes and redirecting waste streams
from the ocean,especially targeting unnecessary single-use items."Maybe we can hope that,
at some point,whales will learn the difference between plastic and prey,"Redaelli says.But
until then,"the more plastic we keep putting in,the more animals are going to die".
28.How do deep-diving toothed whales find food?
A.By producing soundwaves to attract prey.
B.By telling food from not-food through mouthfeel.
C.By using built-in sonar to locate prey in the dark.
D.By identifying echoes weaker than those from squids.
29.What is the impact of plastic debris on toothed whales?
A.It may result in their starvation.
B.It may damage their built-in sonar.
C.It may reduce their adaptive ability.
D.It may lead to various infectious diseases.
30.What should be done for marine mammals according to the experts?
A.Establish the policy against whale hunting.
B.Prevent waste from flowing into the ocean.
C.Ban the production of single-use items.
D.Encourage the use of eco-friendly plastics.

Human beings have a fundamental need to belong.Yet we are living in a time of
loneliness and isolation(与世隔绝).A lack of social connection can have negative
consequences for both our mental and physical health.To encourage the feelings of
connectedness,recent studies suggest that experiential purchases,such as travel,meals at
restaurants and recreation,tend to bring people more happiness than material ones,and can
promote a greater sense of social connection.
In a series of 13 experiments involving 1,980 participants,researchers asked people to
think about either experiential or material purchases they had made and then rate their
thoughts and feelings about those purchases.People reported feeling more connected with
those who had made the same experiential purchase than those who had made the same
material purchase.This reflects the fact that experiential purchases are more central to an
individual's identity.
Moreover,these findings apply even when people think about how their experiences
differ.Even in cases where participants were asked to consider a situation in which they met
someone making a similar but better experiential or material purchase,experiences were more
likely to foster()connection between people than material items were.Although the
unpleasant social comparison can create a sense of social distance,this distance feels less wide
when it comes to experiential purchases.That's because it's easier for people to find common
ground and feel kinship with someone else over their similar experiences.
Finally,after people think about a joyous experience,they express a greater desire to
engage in social activities than they do after they reflect on an important possession.As
experiences bond us with others,they provide memories of such bond that people can revisit.
These memories,in turn,can encourage engagement in even more sociality.
One clear takeaway from this research is that people would likely be wise to shift their
spending habit from“having”to“doing”.Also,the research hints that directing resources
toward more community engagement might drive improvements in societal well-being.
32.Which can be an example of experiential purchases?
A.Claiming free food samples.
B.Purchasing a trendy T-shirt.
C.Watching a paid magic show.
D.Reading fictions in a library.
33.What does the underlined word "kinship"in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.A tendency to be competitive.
B.A shared family background.
C.A desire to purchase the same things.
D.A sense of emotional closeness.
34.What can be learned about experiential purchases?
A.They are better for mental development.
B.They encourage engagement in social events.
C.They contribute to widening social distance.
D.They create unpleasant social comparisons.
35.What does the research suggest doing according to the last Paragraph?
A.Encouraging community engagement.
B.Reflecting on our consumption preference.
C.Making use of more resources in community.
D.Setting rules to limit unnecessary spending.

选项。
Feeling overwhelmed(不知折措)?You're not alone.Between meetings and daily chores,
stress builds up fast-and it doesn't just have a bad impact on your mood.It can ruin your
sleep,increase your heart rate,and weaken your immune system(免疫系统).36_Here are
something you can do right now-and the science behind why they work.
Take five deep breaths.
37 Studies show that deep breathing can lower blood pressure,slow your heart rate,
and boost heart rate variability-一a key marker of resilience.It also reduces cortisol(皮质醇),
the stress hormone associated with a range of issues,including poor sleep and brain fog.
Controlled breathing has even been linked to better emotional regulation and memory-one
more reason to pause and exhale.
Hug it out-or hold a hand.
Touch matters-even a small one.A quick hug or a gentle touch can cause the release of
the hormone that helps regulate stress and create feelings of connection.38 Research
shows that self-touch-such as placing a hand over your heart,rubbing your arms,or gently
touching your face-can also lower cortisol levels.
39
Just a few minutes in natural light support vitamin D production,and improve heart rate
variability.Time spent in green spaces brings even more benefits,such as lowering cortisol
levels and boosting mood.One review found that the most dramatic improvements in both
mood and heart rate variability happen within the first two minutes outdoors.
Take a quick 5-minute walk.
It turns out that walking isn't just for physical health.40 This simple movement
enhances blood flow and oxygen to the prefrontal cortex,the part of the brain responsible for
focus,planning,and decision-making.At the same time,it activates the default mode
network-a brain system that lights up during low-effort,repetitive activity and is strongly
linked to daydreaming and creative insight.
A.It's a proven tool for clearer thinking.
B.Step outside for sunlight and fresh air.
C.Try different exercises to make you active.
D.But you don't need another person to get the benefits.
E.Even a 30-second posture check-in can help reset your focus.
F.But the good news is that even small,low-effort actions can help your body reset.
G.Few things affect your nervous system as immediately-or as powerfully-as your breath.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mike Harris was grabbing envelopes from his mailbox when his fingers brushed against
something unexpectedly soft.Inside sat a cute rabbit toy with a sticky note,"Bunny needs a
place to play.Your mailbox looks perfect.
Mike called his wife Clara,"Our mailbox has a new guest."Clara came out,smiling at
the little rabbit before noticing their water bill beneath it."But this is not a toy house.We
might miss important bills."The couple had built the mailbox three years ago.Mike,a
retired toy maker,designed it like a small white cottage()with a red roof,measuring and
cutting each piece of wood with the same precision he once used for children's toys.Clara
painted dancing flowers on the sunny yellow door hoping to make passing children smile.
"What if the 'owner'decides to move in more things?"Clara wondered.Mike gently
straightened the rabbit's ear."Someone treasured this,"he murmured."Let's find out who it
belongs to first.”
The next day,Mike showed a photo of the rabbit to his neighbours.No one recognized it
until Mrs.Bennet said,"I saw a little girl with pigtails()by your mailbox yesterday.She
looked around nervously before placing something inside.I think she's from the new
apartments on Elm Street.Poor thing-there's no playground there,not even any play
equipment.”
Mike didn't ask further.Instead of removing the rabbit,he taped a colourful note to the
mailbox,"Bunny is welcome here.Soon,more toys joined the rabbit-always in the
afternoon hours when school ended.
Weeks passed.The collection of playthings grew leaving little room for mail.One
evening,Clara found a new note in pink crayon,"Dear friends,Bunny really wants a toy
swing(秋千).I tried to make one but failed.Can you help?一Emma.”Clara's eyes grew
soft,a forgotten sense of childhood wonder bubbling up inside her."This isn't just a mailbox
anymore;it's a secret play world."she said."I almost feel like we're part of it."Mike
nodded,“Tomorrow,let's join in.”
