It also has a number of festivals, offering travelers an opportunity to learn about the destination while celebrating with locals. Come and enjoy the following festivals. 　　Taraz Festival 　　Lattice lace stitched (格子花边刺绣) in traditional patterns is what you can expect every August at Taraz Festival, which is held in Yerevan. Named after Armenia’s traditional dress, this festival is divided into two fairs: one celebrates heritage designs, while the other sees modern designers reinterpret elements of the Taraz. 　　High Fest 　　If you want to be fully absorbed in Armenia’s culture, choose High Fest. This international performing arts festival is held every October in both Yerevan and Gyumri.

It is a perfect event for experiencing the lively local cultural scene. 　　Navasard Armenian-Iranian Cultural Culinary Festival 　　More traditions can be explored at the Navasard Armenian-Iranian Cultural Culinary Festival, celebrated every August in the town of Sisian. It marks the start of the ancient Armenian New Year, a day once observed with singing and dancing. Keeping with tradition, on 10 August, locals cook up ancient recipes and perform national songs and folk dances. 　　Gata Festival 　　If you have a sweet tooth, meanwhile, head to Khachik for Gata Festival in September, a festival that celebrates a regional sweet bread. You can even try your hand at gathering wild plants and herbs at Edible Plants in Armenian Cuisine.

One of the most influential people in the field of rocket science was American Robert Goddard (1882-1945). The American space agency NASA describes him as “the father of modern rocket propulsion (推进)”. 　　Goddard once said that “the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow”. His scientific work gave hope to many dreams about space travel. He turned some of those dreams into reality. 　　Over one hundred years ago, Goddard carried out studies and tests of rocket engines. He developed and flew many rockets that got their power from solid fuels: chemicals that formed a hard substance. In 1925, he made and tested the first rocket engine using a soft chemical fuel. The next year, he successfully launched the world’s first liquid-fuel rocket. 　　Many historians consider liquid-fuel rocket flight to be as important as the first airplane flight by the American brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright. Goddard’s work proved that machines could travel outside of Earth’s atmosphere and into space. 　　During his early research, he received money and support from the US Smithsonian Institution. The Smithsonian published several reports about his efforts. 　　One publication in 1919, called A Method of Reaching Extreme Altitudes, wrote about his search for ways to send weather recording instruments higher than balloons could fly. It described how he developed the mathematical theories for rocket flight. In that report, Goddard also suggested the possibility of a rocket someday reaching the moon. At the time, there was a big dispute in the press about this claim. Many people thought he was foolish for suggesting something that seemed so impossible. 　　Many of Goddard’s ideas are still used in rocket development. So, in a way, every rocket that flies today could be considered a Goddard rocket. 24. What makes NASA highly praise Goddard? A. His various dreams and efforts. B. His first airplane experiment. C. His rocket experiments and research. D. His rocket power theory and dreams. 25. What does the underlined word “dispute” in Paragraph 6 mean? A. Challenge. B. Breakthrough. C. Disagreement. D. Inspiration. 26. Which can best describe Robert Goddard? A. Intellectual and creative. B. Adventurous but self-centered. C. Cooperative but inefficient. D. Romantic and humorous. 27. What can we know about Goddard from the text? A. Many of his theories are still useful in developing rockets. B. He made the first rocket engine in 1919. C. His first book about his study was published in 1926. D. He launched the world’s first liquid-fuel rocket in 1925. C 　　The Weirdest Tales in History promises stories too strange, dark or awkward for a typical classroom lesson. These are the kinds of stories your history teacher might have skipped over, even though they’re just as fascinating. From Ancient Rome to Cold War experiments, the book explores a wide range of lesser-known historical events. 　　The book is made up of individual stories, so you can pick it up and start anywhere. Each one begins with ratings for absurdity, evidence, and cruelty, along with a “Tell-at-a-Party” introduction designed to grab your attention. The Roman Empire Goes to Auction, for example, opens like this: “In 193 CE (AD 193), Roman soldiers literally auctioned off (拍卖掉) the entire empire to the highest bidder (出价者) — and the winner ruled for 66 days before being killed.” 　　The stories are told in a dramatic, often witty style that makes history feel alive and engaging. Each one ends with a “Truth Meter”, which sorts the details into “rock-solid”, “probable” or “debated”. A “Why This Story Matters” section then discusses the event’s historical impact and modern relevance. The analysis of the Roman auction, for instance, notes: “This isn’t just Rome’s weirdest moment. It’s a masterclass in what happens when the people guarding the system realize they can sell the system.” 　　The informal style might strike some readers as too silly for serious history. However, the stories are well-researched and offer a fresh way to learn about the past. The book’s appeal goes beyond history, too. Its everyday language gives English as a second language (ESL) learners a chance to see how English is actually used, making it a great model for anyone who wants to sound more natural in English. 　　Garlandium Books, the publisher, says on its Amazon page that its mission is “sharing knowledge in the most engaging way possible”. The Weirdest Tales in History largely lives up to that promise. Whether you’re a history buff or just curious, the book takes you on an entertaining and informative journey through some of the stranger, often grimmer corners of the past. 28. What do we know about the stories in the book? A. They follow a fixed time order. B. They center on famous events. C. They are rarely taught at school. D. They’re too dark to be interesting. 29. Why is the Roman auction mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To illustrate the book’s format. B. To explain how auctions worked. C. To highlight the stories’ grimness. D. To show the book’s dramatic style. 30. What does the “Truth Meter” offer readers? A. A reliability check on the facts. B. A summary of each story’s plot. C. A measure of each story’s grimness. D. A rating of each story’s lasting value. 31. What does the author think of the book? A. Plain and practical. B. Strange but uplifting. C. Serious and demanding. D. Amusing and reliable. D 　　Is there a single shot that can protect us against all viruses, including those we have not encountered yet? Recently, scientists from the University of Cambridge have developed a special vaccine. It aims to work not just against all known human coronaviruses (冠状病毒), but also against related bat viruses that could jump to humans and cause future pandemics (流行病). It is also the world’s first vaccine with key components designed entirely by artificial intelligence (AI). 　　Traditional vaccines train our immune system to recognize one specific virus. However, viruses mutate (突变) a lot, and when they change enough, the vaccines stop working. This is why we need a new flu shot every year and why COVID vaccines have been updated repeatedly since 2021. 　　AI offers a way around this. By comparing the genetic data of thousands of related viruses, it can identify the parts that stay the same across strains and are unlikely to change over time. By targeting these stable features, you get a vaccine that should work against a whole family of viruses. This is exactly what the Cambridge team did with the sarbecovirus family, which includes the viruses responsible for SARS and COVID. 　　This kind of broad-range vaccine could provide rapid immunity and stop emerging viral threats before they have a chance to grow. The current Ebola outbreak in Africa shows why this is important. Starting in April, the outbreak is driven by the Bundibugyo strain, which no existing Ebola vaccines cover. While researchers rush to create one, local communities remain at high risk. As of Aug 26, almost 5,800 cases were reported, including nearly 2,800 deaths, according to the World Health Organization. 　　Additionally, the new vaccine uses DNA pieces, rather than mRNA sections like traditional COVID vaccines, to help the body recognize the viruses. This makes the new vaccine more stable for storage and transport, especially in poorer countries with limited cold-chain infrastructure (基础设施). Also, the vaccine can be given with a super thin stream of liquid through the skin. This needle-free delivery is less painful and easier to increase production. 　　The vaccine has been tested in people. The results showed it was safe and able to stimulate immune responses against multiple sarbecoviruses at once. However, these responses were modest, and larger trials are needed to determine how long the protection lasts and whether boosters will be required. 32. What is a limitation of traditional vaccines? A. They can cause viruses to mutate. B. They lose effect within about a year. C. They weaken the human immune system. D. They protect against only one specific virus. 33. How does AI help develop the new vaccine? A. By tracking how viruses mutate over time. B. By comparing the genes of unrelated viruses. C. By combining parts of the SARS and COVID viruses. D. By finding stable features common to different viruses. 34. What does the last paragraph imply about the vaccine? A. It will require regular booster shots. B. It is not yet ready for widespread use. C. It caused modest side effects in people. D. It has already completed larger human trials. 35. What’s the best title of the text? A. AI-designed Vaccine: A Weapon Against Coronaviruses B. The Disadvantages of Traditional COVID Vaccines C. New Breakthrough in the Fight Against Ebola Virus D. How Viruses Mutate and Cause Pandemics 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。 　　Have you ever found yourself lost in a book, turning pages without really processing the words? It happens to most of us. Reading instructors have developed questioning techniques to deal with this passive reading habit. ___36___ For them, reading isn’t just about understanding the text; it’s about thinking critically, making connections, and engaging with what they’re reading. This is where questioning techniques come into play in reading instruction. 　　At its core, questioning techniques are strategies used to inspire readers to think critically about what they are reading. ___37___ Just like how exercise strengthens muscles, asking questions while reading strengthens comprehension skills. It pushes readers to not only understand the story but to analyze it, evaluate it, and sometimes even challenge it. 　　___38___ The types of questions asked can vary depending on the level of engagement required. There are easy literal questions that ask for information directly from the text and also inferential and evaluative questions that require readers to read between the lines. There are even predictive questions that encourage readers to make predictions about what will happen next. ___39___ But together, they create a rich, engaging reading experience that goes beyond just decoding words on a page. 　　You might be wondering, “Why does this matter?” Can’t students just read and understand on their own? Well, the truth is, reading is more than just recognizing words. ___40___ In a world overloaded with information, teaching students how to think critically about what they read is more important than ever. Questioning techniques in reading instruction provide students with the tools they need to become thoughtful, engaged, and reflective readers. A. Each type serves a different purpose. B. It’s about making sense of those words. C. Of course, all questions aren’t created equal. D. They can totally transform the reading experience. E. But imagine students who are just learning to read. F. Think of questioning techniques as a mental workout for the brain. G. Be aware that these techniques work best for advanced readers. 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 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 　　Alejandro can’t wait to get home to dive into his candle-making business as soon as he returns home from school every day while other children play games, ___41___ their pets or watch TV. 　　It all started when Alejandro ___42___ that commercial candles gave his mum headaches.

I parked my car outside the farm and walked past a milking house which had apparently not been used in many years. A noise at a window caught my attention, so I entered it. It was a hummingbird (蜂鸟), desperately trying to escape. She was covered in spider-webs (蛛网) and was barely able to move her wings. She ceased her struggle the instant I picked her up. 　　With the bird in my cupped hand, I looked around to see how she had gotten in. The broken window glass was the likely answer. I stuffed a piece of cloth into the hole and took her outside, closing the door securely behind me. 　　When I opened my hand, the bird did not fly away; she sat looking at me with her bright eyes. I removed the sticky spider-webs that covered her head and wings. Still, she made no attempt to fly. Perhaps she had been struggling against the window too long and was too tired? Or too thirsty? 　　As I carried her up the blackberry-lined path toward my car where I kept a water bottle, she began to move. I stopped, and she soon took wing but did not immediately fly away. 　　Hovering (悬停), she approached within six inches of my face. For a very long moment, this tiny creature looked into my eyes, turning her head from side to side. Then she flew quickly out of sight. 　　During the cookout, I told my hosts about the hummingbird incident. They promised to fix the window. As I was departing, my friends walked me to my car. I was standing by the car when a hummingbird flew to the center of our group and began hovering. She turned from person to person until she came to me. She again looked directly into my eyes, then let out a squeaking call and was gone. For a moment, all were speechless. Then someone said, “She must have come to say goodbye.” 　　注意： 　　1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 　　2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A few weeks later, I went to the farm again. I was just about to leave when the hummingbird appeared. 【阅读理解 21—23】 21 A 22 C 23 B 【阅读理解 24—27】 24 C 25 C 26 A 27 A 【阅读理解 28—31】 28 C 29 A 30 A 31 D 【阅读理解 32—35】 32 D 33 D 34 B 35 A 【七选五 36—40】 36 E 37 F 38 A 39 C 40 B（多余项：D、G） 【完形填空 41—55】 41 C 42 A 43 C 44 A 45 B 46 D 47 D 48 B 49 D 50 A 51 B 52 C 53 B 54 A 55 D（50、54 与卷面手写不完全一致，见存疑说明） 【语法填空 56—65】 56 officially 57 regions 58 the 59 designed 60 extended 61 to exchange 62 advancing 63 professional 64 that 65 in（65 卷面手写为 during，亦通） 【写作参考范文】 第一节 应用文写作（约 82 词） 　　Dear Peter, 　　I am thrilled to hear you’re interested in being a volunteer. Between the two activities, I suggest you join the cross-country running event. 　　As an outdoor lover, you’ll surely enjoy jogging along the scenic route while cheering on the runners. Besides, this event offers a great chance to meet people who share your passion for sports and nature. In contrast, the calligraphy competition may require skills that you are less familiar with. 　　I hope you’ll find my suggestion helpful. 　　Yours, Li Hua 第二节 读后续写（约 165 词） 　　A few weeks later, I went to the farm again. Hardly had I stepped out of the car when I noticed the milking house, its broken window neatly repaired as promised. I smiled at the thought of the tiny creature that had once struggled there. During the cookout, I kept glancing toward the garden, half expecting a familiar flutter of wings, but the hummingbird never showed up. Perhaps our brief encounter meant nothing more to her than a moment of rest. 　　I was just about to leave when the hummingbird appeared. Hovering within inches of my face, she studied me with those bright eyes I could never forget, letting out a squeaking call as if greeting an old friend. “She remembers you!” my friends exclaimed. For a long moment, all of us stood silent, watching this tiny messenger of gratitude. Then she rose above the blackberry-lined path and vanished into the golden evening sky, leaving a warmth that would stay with me forever. ◆ 范文亮点（应用文）：Between the two activities 开门见山给建议；As an outdoor lover 呼应交换生身份；In contrast 对比两项活动，理由充分；语域得体，句式长短结合。 ◆ 范文亮点（续写）：Hardly had I... when... 倒装开篇；its broken window neatly repaired 巧妙兑现原文 They promised to fix the window 的伏笔；half expecting a familiar flutter of wings 制造悬念；messenger of gratitude 点明蜂鸟“报恩”主题，与原文 She must have come to say goodbye 遥相呼应。 昆明市第三中学高2027届高三年级上学期10月月考 英语试卷 第 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
