M: It was, but it's been delayed by twenty minutes. W: Then I'll have time to grab a coffee before we board. 【Text 2】 W: Good evening. Do you have a table for two? M: Certainly. Would you prefer to sit by the window or near the fireplace? W: By the window, please. We'd like to see the harbour while we eat. 【Text 3】 M: I'd like to return this novel. I bought it last week, but I already have a copy at home. W: Certainly, sir. Would you like a refund or an exchange? M: An exchange, please. Do you have anything on Chinese gardens? 【Text 4】 W: Hi, this is Maria speaking. I'm afraid I can't make it to the badminton court tonight. M: Oh, that's a pity. Is everything all right? W: Yes, it's just my ankle. It's still sore from the weekend. Could we try again on Thursday? M: Thursday works for me. Thanks for letting me know. 【Text 5】 M: The traffic to the airport is terrible at this hour. Shall we take the underground? W: It's cheaper, but with three suitcases it won't be easy. M: There are lifts at both ends of the station, so it'll be fine. W: All right, let's do that then. I'll buy the tickets online. 【Text 6】 W: Hi, Tom. Are you joining the school garden club this term? M: I was thinking about the photography club, actually. W: Really? I heard the garden club needs someone to take pictures for their new website. M: That's a good point. Maybe I can do both. W: The first meeting is on Wednesday after school in Room 12. Come and have a look. M: I will. Thanks, Emma. W: Don't forget your camera. And the two clubs meet on different days, so there's no clash. M: Perfect. I'll do both, then. W: By the way, the membership fee is only twenty yuan for the whole term. M: That's cheap. 【Text 7】 M: Have you decided where to go for the spring trip? W: I'm thinking about the mountain village, but the forecast says it will rain there all week. M: What about the lake? It's sunny there this week, and the cycling route along the shore is wonderful. W: But I don't have a bike. M: You can rent one there. I did that last year, and it cost only thirty yuan a day. W: That sounds great. I'll book the hotel tonight. M: Let me know which one you choose. The good ones near the lake fill up quickly at this time of year. W: Then I'd better call the one we stayed at two years ago. M: Good idea. Lucy and Peter may want to come as well. 【Text 8】 M: So, Lisa, you worked at the city library last summer, right? W: Yes, for six weeks. I sorted the returned books and helped at the children's reading corner. M: What was the hardest part? W: The children's corner, I'd say. They ask the most unexpected questions, and I often had to look things up before I could answer. M: Did it pay well? W: Not really, but I got free coffee every morning and, more importantly, a discount on any book I wanted. M: How did you get the job? W: I saw a notice on the library's website and sent in an application. M: Would you do it again? W: Certainly. I'm going back this summer. 【Text 9】 W: Dr. Lin, your team has just published a study on urban birds. What did you find? M: We recorded the songs of the same species in ten cities and in nearby forests. City birds sing higher and faster. W: Why is that? M: In cities, low-pitched sounds are largely covered by traffic noise. Birds that sing higher are more likely to be heard, and so to find a partner. W: Has the change happened quickly? M: Very quickly. We compared recordings from the 1970s with today's and found a clear difference, which is remarkable for such a short time. W: What should city planners do? M: Plant more trees along roads. Trees not only absorb noise but also give birds places to rest. W: Is there anything ordinary people can do? M: Keep your windows closed at night during the breeding season. W: And what is your next step? M: We want to find out whether the same change is happening in small towns, where the traffic is lighter. 【Text 10】 N: Good morning, everyone. Before we start today's assembly, here are three announcements from the Students' Union. First, the school sports meeting will be held on Friday next week instead of Thursday, because of the weather forecast. Please check the new schedule on the notice board. Students who have signed up for the long jump should go to the playground this afternoon to try the track. Second, the charity sale for the children's hospital will take place in the school hall during the lunch break on Wednesday. We are still collecting second-hand books and toys. Please bring them to Room 201 before Tuesday afternoon. Clothes and shoes are not needed this year. Third, the school choir needs two more members for the winter concert. If you enjoy singing, come to the music room at four o'clock on Thursday for a short try-out. No experience is needed. That's all. Thank you. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Four Hotels That Will Make Your Life Easier Marriott Detroit Airport It's such an ideal option for business travelers in a hurry. Here is the basic idea: You download the iPhone or Android app. The night before, you can "check in" virtually. When you arrive, you get a message that the room is ready and your key, which is already tied to your reservation, is waiting for you at the desk. Yotel New York The self-service kiosks (一体机) at this high-tech New York hotel are open 24/7 and work just like the ones you'd see at an airport. There are just five steps to register and obtain your room card. There's even a luggage robot. You tap in the number of bags you're carrying, then wait for a robot arm to swing down and store your luggage in a locker. Hyatt Regency Minneapolis Business travelers like how the fast kiosk check-in works. Like the Yotel, the kiosk asks you to put in your credit card. The whole process takes about three minutes. When travelers leave, they can be equally impressed with the fast check-out. You never have to wait in line. Radisson LaCrosse The Radisson is trying to make the kiosk process even faster. You use a mobile app to register and then receive a password by email or text. When you get to the kiosk, you can scan the password to get your key without any other steps required. It's incredibly fast. 21. Which hotel has the self-service luggage locker? A. Marriott Detroit Airport. B. Yotel New York. C. Hyatt Regency Minneapolis. D. Radisson LaCrosse. 【答案】B 【解析】细节理解题。由第二家酒店 Yotel New York 一段"There's even a luggage robot... wait for a robot arm to swing down and store your luggage in a locker"可知，该酒店配有自助行李寄存柜，故选 B。 22. What do Marriott Detroit Airport and Radisson LaCrosse have in common? A. They provide key-free service. B. They both have the fastest check-in process. C. Travelers need to check in with a credit card. D. Travelers can check in with their mobile phones. 【答案】D 【解析】细节理解题。Marriott Detroit Airport 一段说"You download the iPhone or Android app"，Radisson LaCrosse 一段说"You use a mobile app to register"，两家都可用手机 App 办理入住，故选 D。A 项"无钥匙服务"文中未提；B 项"最快"是 Radisson 的单独表述；C 项用信用卡登记的是 Hyatt 与 Yotel。 23. What's the main purpose of the text? A. To assess the service of the hotels. B. To criticize the service of the hotels. C. To recommend hotels with fast service. D. To help customers check in and check out. 【答案】C 【解析】写作意图题。文章标题为"Four Hotels That Will Make Your Life Easier"，正文依次介绍四家酒店如何让入住、退房更快捷，落点在"推荐"，故选 C。A 项"评估"、B 项"批评"、D 项"帮顾客办理入住"均偏离写作目的。 【语篇解读】本文为应用文。文章介绍四家以"快捷服务"为卖点的酒店，分别说明其手机 App 预登记、自助入住机、行李机器人等特色，引导商务出行者选择。 B I'm Savannah and I remember beginning to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving, I thought about all the places I was going to see — the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving and never to come back to was hardly in my head then. The four years that followed taught me the importance of being positive but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost — having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times". My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with immigration (移民) officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives. From my experiences, I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles go away at last! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy. 24. What did Savannah miss most about home when leaving for America? A. Her dear friends and relatives. B. The radio programme for pupils. C. The country she was leaving. D. The places she was familiar with. 【答案】B 【解析】细节理解题。第一段末句"I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children"点明她最不舍的是每天早晨收听的学生广播节目，故选 B。第二段明确说与亲友告别时"cried very little"，可排除 A。 25. What was Savannah's attitude to her life changes in New York? A. Optimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Pessimistic. D. Desperate. 【答案】A 【解析】观点态度题。第三段首句"The four years that followed taught me the importance of being positive"，末段"Something good is certain to happen in the end... I believe that my life will turn out all right"，均体现积极乐观，故选 A。C 项"悲观"、D 项"绝望"与"being positive"相悖。 26. Why was Savannah increasingly responsible in her family? A. For her family moved more frequently. B. For her mother ended up in divorce. C. For her English was better than others. D. For she disagreed with her stepfather. 【答案】C 【解析】细节理解题。第四段首句"My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home"直接给出原因，故选 C。A 项搬家和 D 项与继父的分歧是文中的背景信息，不是她承担责任的原因。 27. What does Savannah think about her future life? A. Her future will be loaded with more troubles. B. It will be difficult to learn to become mature. C. There will be more good days than expected. D. Good things will happen if she keeps trying. 【答案】D 【解析】推理判断题。末段"Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little"说明只要坚持不放弃，好事终会出现，故选 D。A 项与其乐观预期相反；C 项"好日子比预想的多"属过度推断，原文只说不放弃就会迎来转机。 【语篇解读】本文为记叙文。作者回忆随父母移居美国的经历：从离别的不舍、初到纽约的迷茫，到以乐观心态承担家庭责任，最终悟出"不放弃，困境终会过去"的人生道理。 C On the eve of this week's rail strikes, it was reported that the industry bosses are planning to weed out paper train tickets and close almost 1,000 station ticket offices in England. The transport secretary, Grant Shapps, has made no secret of his desire to see costs saved in this way. Some stations sell only a handful of tickets each week and the vast majority of transactions (交易) have moved online. In the name of cost-cutting, station ticket offices are likely to follow the telephone booth on the corner and become a memory. For those who have grown used to the benefits of organizing travel via smart phones, there will be little to feel sorry for. But for people without online access or skills, who tend to be older, poorer, and more fragile, another social barrier will have been built. From medical appointments to payment apps for parking, more and more key services are now delivered digitally. As this revolution takes place, the interests of a significant minority are being ignored to some extent. In the case of health and social care, for example, it will often be those most in need of assistance who are least able to employ electronic devices. The debate over ticket offices offers an opportunity to reflect more broadly on the increasing role of technology in our social landscape. The unavoidable trend towards technology is predictable, but its possible consequences need to be managed with more care. With the expanding range and increasing complexity of digital requirements, the aged are gradually withdrawing from more and more social services in their lives. Ros Altmann, the former pensions minister, recently wrote of being contacted by an elderly woman who no longer drives to her local park, because she cannot download the car parking app required. Much more needs to be invested in helping people gain easy online access. Alternative offline options must be maintained for important services. Contactable telephone numbers of relevant staff should always be available. These will cost more. But that is the price of digital transformation. 28. What does the underlined "weed out" mean in the first paragraph? A. Pass on to. B. Give in to. C. Get rid of. D. Put up with. 【答案】C 【解析】词义猜测题。由该句"planning to weed out paper train tickets and close almost 1,000 station ticket offices"及后文"the vast majority of transactions have moved online"可知，纸质车票正被淘汰，weed out 意为"清除、淘汰"，故选 C。A"传给"、B"屈服于"、D"忍受"均与语境不符。 29. What will the plan to sell tickets online bring to some people? A. Another social barrier. B. A cheaper way to travel. C. More time spent at stations. D. A chance to learn new skills. 【答案】A 【解析】细节理解题。第二段末句"But for people without online access or skills... another social barrier will have been built"（对不会或不习惯上网的人而言，又将竖起一道社会壁垒），故选 A。第三段进一步指出被忽视的是"a significant minority"，第四段以"the aged are gradually withdrawing from more and more social services"作证。B、C、D 三项文中均无依据。 30. What can be inferred about the digital transformation? A. It will meet the demand of consumers. B. It will cost much less than planned. C. It will need to be updated constantly. D. It will result in new social problems. 【答案】D 【解析】推理判断题。第二段指出线上售票为老年人等群体"built another social barrier"，第四段"its possible consequences need to be managed with more care"，可见数字化转型会带来新的社会问题，故选 D。B 项与末段"These will cost more"相反。 31. What is the text mainly about? A. The accessibility of important offline services. B. The attitudes of the elderly towards technology. C. The pros and cons of marketing tickets online. D. The barriers caused by digital transformation. 【答案】D 【解析】主旨大意题。文章由关闭售票窗口谈起，进而论及医疗预约、停车缴费等服务的数字化给老年人等群体设置的障碍，末段呼吁保留线下渠道，全文主线是"数字化带来的障碍"，故选 D。C 项只涵盖"售票"一个例子，过窄。 【语篇解读】本文为议论文。文章以英国铁路拟关闭售票窗口、取消纸质车票为切入点，讨论服务数字化给老年人等信息弱势群体带来的新障碍，并呼吁在推进技术的同时保留线下渠道。 D Florida wildlife officials say manatees (海牛) facing starvation are benefiting from a program that feeds them on tons of donated lettuce (生菜). The program aims to save as many of the large animals as possible as water pollution has led to shortages of their favorite food, seagrass. The effort has provided the manatees with more than 25 tons of lettuce. The feedings usually draw about 300 to 350 manatees per day. Sometimes, there are as many as 800 manatees. Normally, wildlife experts advise against people feeding wild animals. This is because it can lead the animals to make an unhealthy connection between humans and food. It is a crime in Florida for a person to feed manatees on their own, even though officials say many people want to do so. Experts believe the best way people can help is to donate money through an official institution (机构). In 2021, 1,101 manatee deaths were reported, largely from starvation. The normal five-year average is about 625 deaths. State wildlife officials say that so far this year, 164 manatee deaths have been recorded. Tom Reinert, the local director of the state's Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, said the feeding program has helped to reduce the rising death rates. Officials estimate there are about 8,800 manatees in Florida waters. That is a big improvement from about 2,000 that existed in the 1990s. The increased numbers were responsible for manatees being removed from the endangered species list. The most important element for supporting the remaining population will be restoring seagrass beds. So far, Florida has set aside $8 million to deal with that problem. "You can't just go out and plant a bunch of seagrass," Reinert said. But he added, "Projects are getting started and are in the planning stages." 32. What is the program intended to do? A. To reduce food waste. B. To study manatees' eating habits. C. To rescue large animals from starvation. D. To solve the problem of water pollution. 【答案】C 【解析】细节理解题。第一段首句"manatees facing starvation are benefiting from a program"及"The program aims to save as many of the large animals as possible"，说明项目旨在救助饥饿的海牛，故选 C。D 项"解决水污染"是项目背景而非目的。 33. What do experts advise the public to do for manatees? A. Feed healthy food to them. B. Set up special rescue groups. C. Pay more visits to wildlife reserves. D. Offer financial aid to official organizations. 【答案】D 【解析】细节理解题。第二段末句"Experts believe the best way people can help is to donate money through an official institution"，即通过官方机构捐款，故选 D。A 项与"advise against people feeding wild animals"相悖。 34. Which of the following can best describe the feeding program? A. Impractical. B. Significant. C. Complicated. D. Time-consuming. 【答案】B 【解析】推理判断题。第三段"the feeding program has helped to reduce the rising death rates"，且海牛数量由 1990 年代的约 2,000 头增至约 8,800 头，可见该项目成效显著（significant），故选 B。 35. What's the best title for the text? A. Manatee Saving Program B. Ocean Protecting Program C. Manatee Feeding Program D. Seagrass Beds Restoring Program 【答案】A 【解析】标题归纳题。文章围绕救助海牛展开：投喂生菜以缓解饥饿、统计死亡数据、恢复海草床，整体落点是"拯救海牛"这一更大目标，喂食只是其中一环，故选 A。C 项只覆盖喂食这一具体做法，D 项只涉及末段内容。 【语篇解读】本文为新闻报道。文章介绍美国佛罗里达州通过投喂捐赠生菜、恢复海草床等措施救助饥饿海牛的进展与成效，并说明公众帮助海牛的正确方式。 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。 Do you think studying in a different country is something that sounds very exciting?

You start feeling more positive, and you try to develop comprehension of everything you don't understand. The whole situation starts to become more favorable. ____39____ The last stage of culture shock is called "adjustment". ____40____ The things that initially made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand.

The people there relied on corn farming for their livelihood. However, the harsh natural conditions often resulted in poor harvests. Droughts were the biggest challenge, while sudden downpours during the rainy season would flood the fields. Despite these difficulties, there was a young boy in the village named Steven who had a deep love for science. He dreamed of using knowledge to change the fate of his community. From a young age, the boy was fascinated by the wonders of science. He spent his days exploring the world around him, eager to know its mysteries. While other children played in the fields, he could be found conducting "experiments" and thinking about his future under the shade of a tree. He wanted to develop a dam to store rainwater and then pump (用泵抽运) the water from the dam to water the corn when there would be a drought. But to build the dam was a big problem. His passion for learning was undeniable, but his father, a traditionalist who valued hard work above all else, did not understand or support his son's ambition at first. To him, the only real way to help the family was through manual labor on the farm. Despite his father's disapproval, Steven remained determined in his pursuit of knowledge. Steven believed that education held the key to a better future, not just for himself but for the entire village. Seeing his son's firm determination, the father changed his mind. The father realized that perhaps there was more to life than working in the fields. With a heavy heart, he emptied his savings to send Steven to school, hoping that one day his son would make his own dream come true. Years passed, and Steven tirelessly worked on his studies. His efforts paid off when he graduated with top honors from university. Armed with a wealth of knowledge and a burning desire to make a difference, he returned to his village with a mission. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右。 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Upon returning to the village, Steven immediately started to solve the problem. ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ After knowing the project, all the villagers joined in the construction of the dam. ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ 【参考范文】 Upon returning to the village, Steven immediately started to solve the problem. He walked along the dried riverbed, measuring the ground and drawing sketches in his notebook. After weeks of calculation, he worked out a plan for a small dam near the upper stream. Then he gathered the villagers together, explained his design in simple words and showed them how the stored rainwater could flow to the corn fields through a narrow channel. At first some of them shook their heads, but his confident smile finally won them over. After knowing the project, all the villagers joined in the construction of the dam. Men carried stones and mixed cement, while women brought food and water. Steven worked side by side with his father, who now looked at his son with pride. Three months later, the dam was completed. When the first rain filled it up, water ran quietly down to the thirsty fields. That autumn, the village harvested more corn than ever before, and Steven knew that his dream had just begun. 【续写指导】第一段承接"回到村庄即着手解决问题"，宜写 Steven 实地勘察、设计方案、说服村民的过程，突出他把知识转化为行动的关键一步；第二段承接"村民加入修坝"，宜写齐心协力的施工场面与修成后的丰收结果，落在"知识改变家乡命运"的主题上。人称用第三人称，时态以一般过去时为主；可用分词作状语（Armed with...）、with 复合结构（with a heavy heart）等提升语言档次。 附：答案速查 1—5 ABCAB 6—10 BACBB 11—15 CAABC 16—20 BCABC 21—25 BDCBA 26—30 CDCAD 31—35 DCDBA 36—40 ECGDB 41—45 CDABC 46—50 DCABD 51—55 ADCBD 56—60 growing　himself　based　particularly　principles 61—65 an　peaceful　to master　to　which 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026—2027学年度南通市高三年级10月月考 英　语（B卷） （考试时间：120分钟　满分：150分） 注 意 事 项 考生在答题前请认真阅读本注意事项及各题答题要求 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，请用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。每段录音读两遍。 1.

Here is the basic idea: You download the iPhone or Android app. The night before, you can "check in" virtually. When you arrive, you get a message that the room is ready and your key, which is already tied to your reservation, is waiting for you at the desk. Yotel New York The self-service kiosks (一体机) at this high-tech New York hotel are open 24/7 and work just like the ones you'd see at an airport. There are just five steps to register and obtain your room card. There's even a luggage robot. You tap in the number of bags you're carrying, then wait for a robot arm to swing down and store your luggage in a locker. Hyatt Regency Minneapolis Business travelers like how the fast kiosk check-in works. Like the Yotel, the kiosk asks you to put in your credit card. The whole process takes about three minutes. When travelers leave, they can be equally impressed with the fast check-out. You never have to wait in line. Radisson LaCrosse The Radisson is trying to make the kiosk process even faster. You use a mobile app to register and then receive a password by email or text. When you get to the kiosk, you can scan the password to get your key without any other steps required. It's incredibly fast. 21. Which hotel has the self-service luggage locker? A. Marriott Detroit Airport. B. Yotel New York. C. Hyatt Regency Minneapolis. D. Radisson LaCrosse. 22. What do Marriott Detroit Airport and Radisson LaCrosse have in common? A. They provide key-free service. B. They both have the fastest check-in process. C. Travelers need to check in with a credit card. D. Travelers can check in with their mobile phones. 23. What's the main purpose of the text? A. To assess the service of the hotels. B. To criticize the service of the hotels. C. To recommend hotels with fast service. D. To help customers check in and check out. B I'm Savannah and I remember beginning to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving, I thought about all the places I was going to see — the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving and never to come back to was hardly in my head then. The four years that followed taught me the importance of being positive but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost — having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times". My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with immigration (移民) officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives. From my experiences, I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles go away at last! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy. 24. What did Savannah miss most about home when leaving for America? A. Her dear friends and relatives. B. The radio programme for pupils. C. The country she was leaving. D. The places she was familiar with. 25. What was Savannah's attitude to her life changes in New York? A. Optimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Pessimistic. D. Desperate. 26. Why was Savannah increasingly responsible in her family? A. For her family moved more frequently. B. For her mother ended up in divorce. C. For her English was better than others. D. For she disagreed with her stepfather. 27. What does Savannah think about her future life? A. Her future will be loaded with more troubles. B. It will be difficult to learn to become mature. C. There will be more good days than expected. D. Good things will happen if she keeps trying. C On the eve of this week's rail strikes, it was reported that the industry bosses are planning to weed out paper train tickets and close almost 1,000 station ticket offices in England. The transport secretary, Grant Shapps, has made no secret of his desire to see costs saved in this way. Some stations sell only a handful of tickets each week and the vast majority of transactions (交易) have moved online. In the name of cost-cutting, station ticket offices are likely to follow the telephone booth on the corner and become a memory. For those who have grown used to the benefits of organizing travel via smart phones, there will be little to feel sorry for. But for people without online access or skills, who tend to be older, poorer, and more fragile, another social barrier will have been built. From medical appointments to payment apps for parking, more and more key services are now delivered digitally. As this revolution takes place, the interests of a significant minority are being ignored to some extent. In the case of health and social care, for example, it will often be those most in need of assistance who are least able to employ electronic devices. The debate over ticket offices offers an opportunity to reflect more broadly on the increasing role of technology in our social landscape. The unavoidable trend towards technology is predictable, but its possible consequences need to be managed with more care. With the expanding range and increasing complexity of digital requirements, the aged are gradually withdrawing from more and more social services in their lives. Ros Altmann, the former pensions minister, recently wrote of being contacted by an elderly woman who no longer drives to her local park, because she cannot download the car parking app required. Much more needs to be invested in helping people gain easy online access. Alternative offline options must be maintained for important services. Contactable telephone numbers of relevant staff should always be available. These will cost more. But that is the price of digital transformation. 28. What does the underlined "weed out" mean in the first paragraph? A. Pass on to. B. Give in to. C. Get rid of. D. Put up with. 29. What will the plan to sell tickets online bring to some people? A. Another social barrier. B. A cheaper way to travel. C. More time spent at stations. D. A chance to learn new skills. 30. What can be inferred about the digital transformation? A. It will meet the demand of consumers. B. It will cost much less than planned. C. It will need to be updated constantly. D. It will result in new social problems. 31. What is the text mainly about? A. The accessibility of important offline services. B. The attitudes of the elderly towards technology. C. The pros and cons of marketing tickets online. D. The barriers caused by digital transformation. D Florida wildlife officials say manatees (海牛) facing starvation are benefiting from a program that feeds them on tons of donated lettuce (生菜). The program aims to save as many of the large animals as possible as water pollution has led to shortages of their favorite food, seagrass. The effort has provided the manatees with more than 25 tons of lettuce. The feedings usually draw about 300 to 350 manatees per day. Sometimes, there are as many as 800 manatees. Normally, wildlife experts advise against people feeding wild animals. This is because it can lead the animals to make an unhealthy connection between humans and food. It is a crime in Florida for a person to feed manatees on their own, even though officials say many people want to do so. Experts believe the best way people can help is to donate money through an official institution (机构). In 2021, 1,101 manatee deaths were reported, largely from starvation. The normal five-year average is about 625 deaths. State wildlife officials say that so far this year, 164 manatee deaths have been recorded. Tom Reinert, the local director of the state's Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, said the feeding program has helped to reduce the rising death rates. Officials estimate there are about 8,800 manatees in Florida waters. That is a big improvement from about 2,000 that existed in the 1990s. The increased numbers were responsible for manatees being removed from the endangered species list. The most important element for supporting the remaining population will be restoring seagrass beds. So far, Florida has set aside $8 million to deal with that problem. "You can't just go out and plant a bunch of seagrass," Reinert said. But he added, "Projects are getting started and are in the planning stages." 32. What is the program intended to do? A. To reduce food waste. B. To study manatees' eating habits. C. To rescue large animals from starvation. D. To solve the problem of water pollution. 33. What do experts advise the public to do for manatees? A. Feed healthy food to them. B. Set up special rescue groups. C. Pay more visits to wildlife reserves. D. Offer financial aid to official organizations. 34. Which of the following can best describe the feeding program? A. Impractical. B. Significant. C. Complicated. D. Time-consuming. 35. What's the best title for the text? A. Manatee Saving Program B. Ocean Protecting Program C. Manatee Feeding Program D. Seagrass Beds Restoring Program 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。 Do you think studying in a different country is something that sounds very exciting?

The people there relied on corn farming for their livelihood. However, the harsh natural conditions often resulted in poor harvests. Droughts were the biggest challenge, while sudden downpours during the rainy season would flood the fields. Despite these difficulties, there was a young boy in the village named Steven who had a deep love for science. He dreamed of using knowledge to change the fate of his community. From a young age, the boy was fascinated by the wonders of science. He spent his days exploring the world around him, eager to know its mysteries. While other children played in the fields, he could be found conducting "experiments" and thinking about his future under the shade of a tree. He wanted to develop a dam to store rainwater and then pump (用泵抽运) the water from the dam to water the corn when there would be a drought. But to build the dam was a big problem. His passion for learning was undeniable, but his father, a traditionalist who valued hard work above all else, did not understand or support his son's ambition at first. To him, the only real way to help the family was through manual labor on the farm. Despite his father's disapproval, Steven remained determined in his pursuit of knowledge. Steven believed that education held the key to a better future, not just for himself but for the entire village. Seeing his son's firm determination, the father changed his mind. The father realized that perhaps there was more to life than working in the fields. With a heavy heart, he emptied his savings to send Steven to school, hoping that one day his son would make his own dream come true. Years passed, and Steven tirelessly worked on his studies. His efforts paid off when he graduated with top honors from university. Armed with a wealth of knowledge and a burning desire to make a difference, he returned to his village with a mission. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右。 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Upon returning to the village, Steven immediately started to solve the problem. ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ After knowing the project, all the villagers joined in the construction of the dam. ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $2026至2027学年度南通市高三年级十月学情调研英语B卷听力部分听力考试正式开始。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AB、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，每段录音读两遍。The train leaves at nine doesn't .
