I learned that you get upset easily and often lose your temper with your parents and classmates as a third-year high school student. I am writing to provide some suggestions to help you cope with your emotions. Firstly,you can breathe deeply. If you take a few moments to focus on your breathing, you can find it will help you relax and clear your mind. Secondly, why not exercise? Doing physical activity is a great way to relieve stress and improve your mood. Finally, it is helpful to talk to someone such as a trusted friend, family member, or teacher who can provide support and encouragement. The suggestions above are available to help you out. I hope they will navigate this challenging time for you. Best wishes. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 题目解答 Then suddenly, I thought of Lucas. Could he pay the extra 1 dollar to get his class picture? I ran to my friends the moment the bell rang. We discussed that problem for a long time and finally drew the conclusion that very likely hewouldn't get the picture. Then we rushed to the teacher's office for confirmation. We withdrew from the office, upset and silent. "Maybe we can buy one for him," I proposed. We counted our change, sent it to our teacher and then waited for the big day excitedly. Lucas was frozen in shock when the teacher handed him that class picture. He stood up, lowered his head, and whispered nervously, "No, I didn't.. The teacher smiled," But your best friends did pay for your class picture. Lucas raised his head in disbelief and looked around the class. Everyone smiled, applauding, even if some students didn't know what had happened. At the moment, a surge of pride swept through me. I felt I knew how to "see" through my heart, but not just through my eyes. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力部分该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。听力考试正式开始，第一节听下面五段录音，每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段录音。读两遍。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。Sorry to bother you.

I have an exciting announcement for next week. We will host a guest lecture featured tunisian artists, or as a ogi, an expert in April. The ancient art of painting on water surfaces, this specialized dark form is in taught in tunisia, says a rookie pursued her training overseas, completing a masters degree in dedicating years to research and practice before bringing her skills back home. Her work is inspired by patterns from old cities in the arab world. SHE drops brightly, color dies on special thick and oilily water lets the colors form m patterns on the surface, and then transfers them on the paper. SHE believes true mastery, including its history and techniques, requires years of study, along with a lot of courage and sacrifice. The art of a brew first appeared and evolved in the fifteen th century. Some methods use colors that float on a special thick liquid base. Mister rugby will share her personal and artistic journey and also provide a live demonstration of this unique technique. The event will be held in the school hall next thursday at three P. M. It'll be a fascinating chance to explore this rare and beautiful art form. Don't miss the chance to learn from such a dedicated artist. I hope all of you will be able to attend. 第二节到此结束，现在你有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。听力部分到此结束。 考前绝密 包头市第九十七中学2025-2026学年高三年级11月英语月考试题 包头市第九十七中学2025-2026学年高三年级11月英语月考试题 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秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

The Guadalupe River overflowed, flooding neighborhoods and washing away roads and bridges. Hundreds of people had to leave their homes. Officials say this is the worst flooding the region has seen in years. Below is the breakdown of damages by county. County Economic Losses Buildings Damaged Hunt $28 million 85 (including 12 historic structures) Kerr $15 million 62 (including 3 bridges, 2 historic buildings) Comal $5 million 34(including 2 highways) Blanco $2 million 18(including 1 historic building) Below were key updates as of Friday night. 1. Casualties & Emergency Response The floods have killed 24 people, and 25 campers from Camp Mystic remain missing as searches continue. Emergency crews including the Texas National Guard have rescued 237people using helicopters supported by over500 personnel from federal agencies (including FEMA and the U. S. Coast Guard) that are currently assisting in affected areas. 2. Challenges Rescue teams struggled to reach isolated communities as flooded roads and downed power lines blocked access, delaying critical aid. To make matters worse, early weather warnings had underestimated the flood's severity, leaving residents little time to reach safety 3.

At 73, he was just a retired worker with too much time and an empty backyard. What started as a simple garden railroad project quickly became something extraordinary. It began with a single circular track and an old steam engine he'd rescued from a sale. Each day, he would add tiny details-a tiny general store, a little church and some handcrafted trees. The neighborhood children would sometimes look over the fence, their eyes wide with wonder, One particularly curious 10-year-old named Maya started visiting regularly after school. Her working parents appreciated that Harold didn't mind her watching him work. He'd explain each tiny detail. Word spread. Neighbors who had previously just waved politely stopped to admire Harold's growing landscape. Children brought their parents. Retired workers shared stories about the real trains and towns the models represented. When the local elementary school heard about Harold's project, they asked if he'd be willing to host a field trip. Harold was surprised. Suddenly, classrooms of children were learning history, engineering, and creativity through his tiny railroad. Maya convinced her uncle to create a website showing Harold's railroad. It went popular locally and then regionally. People started sending him miniature(微型的) pieces like a tiny water tower from Wisconsin. Soon the railroad became a living history museum, a classroom, and a gathering place. On weekends, Harold would let children control the trains, their small hands carefully managing the controllers and their faces lit with pure joy. Some parents noticed their kids were learning patience, precision, and storytelling through this simple hobby. By the time Harold turned 80, his backyard had become a community landmark. Local schools included visits into their curriculum(课程). Retirement homes organized group trips. Artists and historians turned to him. The tiny tracks became something magical, showing how passion, creativity, and openness could build connections far bigger than anyone could imagine. 24. Why did Harold start building the garden railroad? A. To kill his spare time. B. To host field trips. C. To train local children. D. To become famous. 25. What was the neighbors' attitude toward Harold's project? A. Critical. B. Negative. C. Appreciative. D. Uncertain. 26. Why did Harold's project attract the local elementary school? A. It included a new steam engine. B. It had an educative value. C. It was praised on a website. D. It was a garden programme. 27. What lesson can we learn from the story? A. One is never too old to learn. B. Many hands make light work. C. Education knows no boundaries D. Small things make a big difference. C A team of researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed an innovative green pesticide formulation (农药配方) that promises to strengthen control of harmful insects while prioritizing safety for both crops and the environment. " This new pesticide represents a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional pesticides," said Prof. Wu Zhengyan, who led the research team. The findings of this study were published in ACS Nano. Traditional pesticides often face several challenges, including uneven application on plant leaves, tendency to being washed away by rain, and rapid decomposition (分解) under sunlight. Additionally, remaining chemicals from these formulations can pose environmental risks. Therefore, in this study, the team engineered a new pesticide formulation to enhance adhesion to leaves, resist sunlight decomposition, and provide a gradual release of the active ingredient for sustained effectiveness The success of this new formulation lies in its unique structure. The carbon dots combined with calcium carbonate (CaCO3) increase the pesticide's capacity to hold more abamectin(阿维菌素)- approximately 1.7 to 2.1 times more than conventional formulations. This allows for greater effectiveness while using less active ingredient. When the pesticide contacts the weakly acidic environment on plant leaves, the calcium carbonate breaks down, facilitating a quicker release of the pesticide and enabling easier tracking through the lights released by the carbon dots. This “ controlled release” mechanism ensures that the pesticide remains active, even in challenging conditions such as UV light or rain. In tests conducted on the diamondback moth(小菜蛾),a common agricultural threat, the new formulation demonstrated excellent pest control both indoors and outdoors. Importantly, it also minimizes environmental impact. Compared to traditional pesticides, this new formulation showed reduced poisonousness to non-target animals. Furthermore, once the pesticide has released its active ingredient, the remaining materials decompose into harmless substances like calcium ions (Ca2+), carbon dioxide (CO2), and carbon dots, significantly lowering the risk of pollution. 28 How is the benefit of the new pesticide stressed in Paragraph 1? A . By offering statistics B. By giving examples. C. By defining a concept. D. By quoting an expert. 29. What does the underlined word“adhesion” mean in Paragraph2? A . Sensitivity. B. Response. C. Reference. D. Stickiness 30. What makes the new pesticide different from traditional one? A. Its distinctive structure. B. Its lower production cost. C. Its unique tracking method. D. Its faster decomposition rate. 31 . Why is the new pesticide environmentally friendly? A. It restores the ecological balance. B. Its by-products are clean and safe. C. It avoids harming unrelated species. D. Its remaining materials are reusable. D Climate change will be the fastest-growing cause of species loss in the Americas by midcentury, according to a new set of reports. The reports, released last week by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, included a complete set of biodiversity assessments for four major regions around the world, with contributions from more than 500 experts. "Land degradation (退化), the loss of many species and climate change are three different faces of the same central challenge: the increasingly dangerous result of our choices on the health of our natural environment," said a leader of an international organization. "We cannot afford to deal with any one of these three threats separately - they each deserve the highest attention and must be addressed together.” The advantage of linked stressors is that addressing one can help the other. Working to protect natural landscapes can play a significant role in the fight against climate change, the report suggests. Restoring natural lands in the first place could deliver more than a third of the action needed by 2030 to keep global warming to below 2 degrees Celsius, the authors note. And that is a big step in preserving the world's biodiversity, as well, according to the four reports released last week. While each report focused on a different region of the world - Africa, Europe, the Asia-Pacific region and the Americas- each one highlighted the growing threat of climate change, among a variety of other human-caused threats to global wildlife. Situation in Africa is particularly serious, the reports suggest. Some birds and animals face population loss up to 50 percent if immediate action isn't taken. Other global regions are facing major risks, as well. In the Americas, about 31 percent of all native species are believed to have been lost since European settlers first arrived. The report suggests that this number could climb as high as 40 percent by 2050. 32. Which of the following brings about the biggest threat to the world's wildlife? A. Climate change. B. Land degradation C. Species loss. D.Ecosystem breakdown. 33. What can we infer from the last sentence in paragraph 2? A. Lots of money is needed to deal with the threats. B. Our attitude towards nature is not right C. All the problems are equally serious. D. It is hard to make a choice. 34. Which part of the world is facing the worst species loss? A. Europe. B. Africa C. The Asia-Pacific region. D. The Americas. 35. From which is this text probably taken? A. An official report. B. A tour guidebook C. A fashion magazine. D.A science newspaper. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 We often fall into the trap of assuming rational (理性的) thought is naturally superior to intuitive(直觉的)responses. 36 In truth, we should find agreement between what our heart wants and what our reason says. Rational thinking proves particularly valuable in certain situations. 37 Without it, we might rely too heavily on emotions, leading to poor decisions. Studies confirm that people who think rationally tend to perform better in both academic and professional settings. Moreover, it helps individuals analyze complex problems, allow for better planning and make well-informed choices. 38 People who are more analytic are seen less approachable, which may make them seem distant or unfeeling. As a result, they might struggle to build close relationships or communicate warmth in social situations. Intuitive thinking, though sometimes imperfect, shows impressive effectiveness in many everyday situations. Chess masters instantly recognize strong moves, firefighters make life-saving decisions through instinct, and artists create through sudden inspiration - none of which could be achieved through slow, step-by-step analysis. These examples remind us that intuition is not the opposite of reason. 39 In our modern world of constant information, the ability to use both thinking styles becomes especially valuable. Life is not a problem to be solved by logic alone, nor a feeling to be trusted blindly. 40 In the end, to live well is to think with both the precision of a scientist and the grace of an artist - calculating when needed, but never silencing the inner voice that says,"This just feels right." A. This, however, only tells part of the story. B. B. It allows us to weigh evidence objectively. C. It's just experience that becomes quick and automatic. D. Wisest decisions sing when reason and intuition harmonize. E. Surprisingly, logical thinking promotes emotional intelligence. F. However, sometimes intuition can be more effective than reasoning. G. This black-and-white view overlooks the complexity of human thought. 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。 When I first built my website 3 years ago, I had no idea what I was doing.

Everything was frozen solid. As we hadn't the heating in our classroom, most of us wore thick and warm clothes. Then, by chance I discovered under Lucas' dirty woolen coat, there was just a semi-sleeved shirt. It was so strange that I couldn't help wondering whether Lucas was crazy to make such a choice. I told this to the boys in my class. " How stupid!" We all ran to see Lucas and jokingly pulled of his coat. Lucas stepped back shaking with both cold and anger. I saw tears welled into his eyes. When I went back home, I told mom "the stupid choice" Lucas made. Mom fell silent. Then she made a phone call. The next day, she told me to bring a package to the school. "Give it to Lucas. Tell him to put on the clothes iit. "Why?" As a fourth-grader, I wasn’t wise enough to see something hidden behind. It was years later that I understood that Lucas' family had the basics, but there was little money for much else beyond food and shelter. Mom hugged me and said softly, "Guess why a hungry person doesn't eat?' "Because he can't get any food to eat." I answered loudly. "Exactly. Mom said, "So, why doesn't Lucas wear thick and warm sweater?" It all clicked into place It made me feel guilty. Mom said it was unkind to make fun of disadvantaged friends. And mom also told me to "see" through my heart, but not just through my eyes. I wondered "How?" At the end of the term, the teacher told us we were going to take a class picture as, for some reason, we would break up when we stepped into the fifth grade. Twenty-two students lined up in three rows and faced the camera with happy smiles. The teacher told us anyone who paid a dollar would bring a class picture back home. I could hardly wait to get my first class picture. 注意:1.续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Then suddenly, I thought of Lucas. _______________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Lucas was frozen in shock when the teacher handed him that class picture. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高二英语 第 1 页 共 7页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
