Burrowing shrimp have been a nuisance for at least a century. In 1929, Belle Stevens, a University of Washington (UW) researcher, wrote: “Various means of defense against these persistent burrowers are tried but fruitless.” Shellfish farmers used to use insect killers, but the chemicals also brought risks to other organisms and could be transported in water outside the shellfish growing area. Therefore, the Department of Ecology instructed farmers to stop using insect killers in 2018. Since then, family-owned shellfish farms have been losing large parts of their growing grounds to burrowing shrimp. Later, research led by the UW has yielded a non-chemical method, which uses a custom-built platform to apply vibration (震动) and pressure to the shrimp’s home. Short of oxygen, the shrimp die in a few days. The researchers tested this method at four sites and found it worked just as well as insect killers, reducing the number of live shrimp by between 72% and 98%. “There is still a need for enough shrimp to serve as food for gray whales,” said Jennifer. “We’re trying to figure out how to keep them out of shellfish beds while letting them grow elsewhere.” While this proof-of-principle experiment seems promising, there’s more work to do before shellfish farmers can adopt it. Right now it’s a time-consuming and laborious process because everything is operated by humans. Also, more studies need to be done to determine the long-term impacts on the ecosystem. “What we’ve done so far is introduce a novel control mechanism (机制). No one had thought that you could trap the shrimp underground,” Jennifer said. “But this research wouldn’t have happened without the investment from the state and the private landowners and growers. I have such deep appreciation for the opportunity to work with folks on something that is clearly affecting their lives.” 4. What does the underlined part “a nuisance” in paragraph 2 mean? A. A big trouble. B. A water pollutant. C. A rare species. D. A local specialty. 5. What is a feature of the UW method? A. It works effectively. B. It is cost-saving. C. It is easy to operate. D. It frees up manpower. 6. What is Jennifer’s concern about the new method? A. It requires advanced equipment. B. It needs official approval. C. It can hardly be applied in practice. D. It may break the ecological balance. 7. What message does Jennifer deliver in the last paragraph? A. The new control mechanism is taking the lead. B. The research is a joint effort of multiple parties. C. Practical application matters more than lab research. D. Underground shrimp-trapping technology needs improving. 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了Jennifer的相关研究，提出一种非化学手段控制蝼蛄虾数量的新方法，并谈及该方法的效果、潜在问题与多方协作的研究背景。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“ In 1929, Belle Stevens, a University of Washington (UW) researcher, wrote: “Various means of defense against these persistent burrowers are tried but fruitless.” Shellfish farmers used to use insect killers, but the chemicals also brought risks to other organisms...family-owned shellfish farms have been losing large parts of their growing grounds to burrowing shrimp. (1929年，华盛顿大学研究员Belle Stevens写道：“人们尝试了各种方法抵御这些顽固的掘穴生物，但都徒劳无功。”贝类养殖户过去使用杀虫剂……但这些化学品也会给其他生物带来风险……家族贝类养殖场大片养殖区域都被蝼蛄虾侵占。)”可知，各种抵御方法都无效，导致贝类养殖户损失惨重，由此推测蝼蛄虾一直是一个大麻烦。故猜测a nuisance意为“大麻烦”。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers tested this method at four sites and found it worked just as well as insect killers, reducing the number of live shrimp by between 72% and 98%. (研究人员在四个地点测试该方法，发现其效果和杀虫剂一样好，活体蝼蛄虾数量减少72%至98%。)”可知，UW这种方法的特点是效果显著。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“There is still a need for enough shrimp to serve as food for gray whales (仍然需要留存足够的蝼蛄虾作为灰鲸的食物)”以及第五段“Also, more studies need to be done to determine the long-term impacts on the ecosystem. (此外，还需要开展更多研究，确定它对生态系统的长期影响。)” 可知，Jennifer担心该方法可能会影响食物链，从而破坏生态平衡。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But this research wouldn’t have happened without the investment from the state and the private landowners and growers. (但如果没有州政府、私人土地所有者以及养殖户的投入，这项研究就无法开展。)”可知，这项研究是多方共同努力的成果。 C The concept of free will is fascinating in the world of philosophy. From the perspective of the human brain, however, it is something that scientists are just starting to look into. One study found there is surprisingly little difference in how the brain processes situations in which there are choices compared to those in which there really aren’t. The researchers scanned the participants’ brains in two given scenes where they had to make decisions. In the first scene, they were shown balloons of two different colors and told to pick whichever they wanted. They could use any criterion to pick a balloon. In the second scene, they were shown two identically colored balloons. In each case, they had to push a button as soon as they made a choice. The researchers monitored the brain scans to see what happened. Lead author Lauren explained that for both free and forced decisions, the brain activity unfolded in very similar ways. Like a loading bar, it climbed steadily to the same peak level just before a choice was made. When people decided quickly, the signal increased faster. When they took longer, it rose more slowly. “That’s exactly what you would expect if the brain were tracking and weighing up evidence over time, rather than simply reacting to a decision at the last moment.” The fact that in both scenes the brain followed the same path indicates the process is similar. Those who made decisions faster had scans that looked more similar to each other than those who made decisions more slowly. The similar brain patterns make it difficult to tell whether someone is really making a decision or just reacting to stimuli (刺激). The implications of this, if it holds true across various studies, will have to be debated among philosophers, but it does seem to lend some credibility to the idea that there really isn’t “free will” as most people understand it. 8. What were the participants asked to do in both scenes? A. Hit a button once they decided. B. Report how they made choices. C. Voice the differences of the balloons. D. Find identically colored balloons. 9. Which of the following is a finding of the study? A. Forced decisions require more time. B. Human brains react to choices instantly. C. Free choices create higher brain peaks. D. Fast deciders show more similar brain patterns. 10. What does the last paragraph convey about free will? A. It shapes our brain activity. B. It depends largely on outside stimuli. C. The common idea of it faces challenges. D. Philosophers have reached an agreement on it. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. New Evidence for the Existence of Free Will B. The Advantages of Free Choices over Forced Ones C. How Brain Science Challenges Philosophical Views D. A Scientific Look into the Process of Decision-Making 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍一项大脑研究，该研究发现人们做选择时大脑活动模式相近，对大众所理解的自由意志提出质疑。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In the first scene, they were shown balloons of two different colors and told to pick whichever they wanted. They could use any criterion to pick a balloon. In the second scene, they were shown two identically colored balloons. In each case, they had to push a button as soon as they made a choice. The researchers monitored the brain scans to see what happened.(第一种场景，给参与者展示两种不同颜色的气球，并让他们任选其一，他们可以依照任意标准挑选气球。第二种场景，展示两个颜色完全相同的气球。在两种场景中，参与者都必须一做出选择就按下按钮。)”可知，参与者在两种场景中都需要做出决定后立刻按按钮。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Those who made decisions faster had scans that looked more similar to each other than those who made decisions more slowly.(快速做决定的人的脑部扫描图像，相比慢速决策者，彼此之间更为相似。)”可知，快速决策者呈现出更相似的大脑模式。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The implications of this, if it holds true across various studies, will have to be debated among philosophers, but it does seem to lend some credibility to the idea that there really isn’t “free will” as most people understand it.(如果多项研究都证实该结论成立，那么这一发现背后的深层含义尚需哲学家们探讨。但它似乎佐证了这样一种观点：并不存在大多数人所理解的那种“自由意志”。)”可知，大众对于自由意志的传统认知受到了挑战。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章介绍一项科学实验，探究人做决定过程中的大脑活动。文章围绕决策过程的脑部科学研究展开，并非证明自由意志存在、对比选择优劣，也不侧重哲学观点。“A Scientific Look into the Process of Decision-Making(一项针对决策过程的科学探究)”符合题意。 D Water is known to have a critical point at high temperature. At about 374℃ and 218 times atmospheric pressure, the distinction between liquid and gas is wiped out. Beyond that critical point, water is what’s called a supercritical fluid (流体). Scientists had long predicted a second critical point at low temperature in supercooled water. Such water can stay in liquid form even below its regular freezing point for a short period. Certain odd properties of water gave scientists clues to this possibility. For example, most liquids increase in density (密度) upon cooling but water’s density increases until down to about 4℃, at which it reaches a maximum. Then, further cooling makes water less dense. Water’s heat capacity follows a similar trend. Scientists suspected these properties could be a sign of a critical point existing at lower temperature. However, experiments at pressures and temperatures close to the predicted critical point are challenging because supercooled water freezes almost instantly there. “We have to do everything very quickly,” one researcher said. In experiments, researchers hit each sample of ice with an infrared laser (红外激光), aiming to make the ice melt (融化). Then, with an X-ray laser, they examined the liquid’s structure and density under various pressures and temperatures. Pictures of the just-melted liquid, taken over time as the water expanded, showed how water behaved as the pressure in the sample decreased. Below the critical point, there was a distinct state transition from one liquid to another as the pressure dropped. At higher temperatures, there was no such transition between two distinct liquids, indicating that the critical point had been reached. “The results are impressive,” says physicist Greg Kimmel. “The data the researchers present show a clear picture, matching the critical point assumption. However, the work rests on one assumption: the liquid reaches a balanced state with stable matter and energy flow. Yet measurements are completed in an extremely short time, so whether the balanced state is achieved remains unknown. “ 12. What can be learned about supercooled water? A. It turns into gas at 374℃. B. It increases in density as temperature drops. C. It may remain liquid under the normal freezing point. D. It can reach its maximum density after being boiled. 13. What did the researchers do during the experiment? A. They stabilized the pressure of water samples. B. They recorded the efficiency of distinct equipment. C. They observed water’s state changes with pressure. D. They changed the critical point of supercooled water. 14. What can we infer from Greg Kimmel’s words? A. The experiment data are totally convincing. B. The research conclusion needs further proof. C. The balanced state has been confirmed in tests. D. The assumption of the critical point is groundless. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To display the common wrong belief about water. B. To introduce a study on water’s second critical point. C. To argue against the existence of water’s critical point. D. To explain the unique density changes of cooling water. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了科学家针对过冷水开展实验，探究水的第二个低温临界点，以及相关研究发现与专家评价。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Scientists had long predicted a second critical point at low temperature in supercooled water. Such water can stay in liquid form even below its regular freezing point for a short period. (科学家早有预测，过冷水在低温下存在第二个临界点。这种水即便低于常规冰点，短期内仍可保持液态。)”可知，过冷水有可能在常规冰点之下保持液态。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Pictures of the just-melted liquid, taken over time as the water expanded, showed how water behaved as the pressure in the sample decreased. Below the critical point, there was a distinct state transition from one liquid to another as the pressure dropped. (随着水膨胀，随时间拍摄的刚融化液体的照片显示了水在样本压力下降时的行为。在临界点以下，随着压力下降，存在从一种液体到另一种液体的明显状态转变。)”可知，实验中研究人员观察压力变化下水的状态转变。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The results are impressive,” says physicist Greg Kimmel. “The data the researchers present show a clear picture, matching the critical point assumption. However, the work rests on one assumption: the liquid reaches a balanced state with stable matter and energy flow. Yet measurements are completed in an extremely short time, so whether the balanced state is achieved remains unknown. (“结果令人印象深刻，”物理学家Greg Kimmel说。“研究人员提供的数据显示了一幅清晰的图景，与临界点假设相符。然而，这项工作依赖于一个假设：液体达到具有稳定物质和能量流的平衡状态。但测量在极短时间内完成，因此是否达到平衡状态仍然未知。”)”可知，Greg Kimmel肯定结果，但指出研究依赖一个假设，且“是否达到平衡状态仍未知”——说明结论还需要进一步验证。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Scientists had long predicted a second critical point at low temperature in supercooled water. (科学家早有预测，过冷水在低温下存在第二个临界点。)”以及通读全文可知，文章围绕探究水的第二个临界点的相关研究展开。 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。 It is easy to think of dental problems as something that happens suddenly, but in reality, many of the most common issues build quietly in the background, shaped by ordinary habits repeated day after day. ____16____ One of the biggest habits is also the most familiar: brushing. Most people know they should brush teeth for two minutes twice a day. ____17____ Rushing around the mouth in 30 seconds, rubbing too hard, or missing the gums (牙龈) can leave harmful bacteria behind and damage the gums. It is also worth remembering that brushing harder does not mean brushing better. ____18____ According to West House Dental, one of the most ignored risks is not always what people eat or drink, but how often their teeth are exposed to it. A sweet coffee on the way to work, a mid-morning snack, and a late-night treat can all create repeated acid attacks, giving teeth less time to recover between meals. Regular dental appointments are also part of prevention. ____19____ A check-up can spot early signs of wear, gum diseases or problems with old fillings before they become more complicated. Hygiene (卫生) appointments can also support areas that are difficult to manage at home, particularly for those with crowded teeth, implants or bridges. For children, the habits formed early often last the longest. ____20____ Use a timer or song. Keep sweet snacks to sensible times. These can all help dental care feel normal rather than like a battle. A. Choose sugar-free drinks. B. Never consider them a response to pain. C. But technique matters just as much as frequency. D. Make brushing part of the morning and bedtime routine. E. Snacking is another everyday habit that can quietly affect teeth. F. So some people have turned to electric toothbrushes for convenience. G. That’s why prevention is more about the small things one does at home. 【答案】16. G 17. C 18. E 19. B 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了牙齿疾病大多由日常习惯日积月累造成，介绍刷牙、少吃零食、定期看牙以及从小培养护牙习惯等牙齿防护方法。 【16题详解】 上文“It is easy to think of dental problems as something that happens suddenly, but in reality, many of the most common issues build quietly in the background, shaped by ordinary habits repeated day after day. (人们容易觉得牙病是突然出现的，但实际上很多常见牙齿问题是日复一日的日常习惯慢慢造成的。)”点明牙病源于长期日常习惯。G选项“That’s why prevention is more about the small things one does at home.

It was pale purple, with tiny white flowers along the edge — exactly the kind of thing my granddaughter Mia would love. I held it up and smiled, already imagining the look on her face. But when I checked the price tag, my smile froze. Eighteen dollars. It wasn’t much for most people, but on my fixed income, eighteen dollars meant choosing between the dress and a week’s worth of groceries. I walked over to the store owner, a kind-faced woman named Dorothy. “Would you be able to hold this dress for me?” I asked. “Just until the end of the month, when I get my pension check.” Dorothy hesitated. “I’m sorry, dear. We don’t hold items. First come, first served.” My heart sank. I placed the dress back on the shelf, smoothing the fabric one last time. “May I buy the dress for you?” a voice behind me suddenly asked. I turned to find a woman with gentle eyes and a warm smile. She was dressed simply, her coat a size too large and her shoes worn at the toes. “Thank you, but I can’t accept such a gift,” I said, shaking my head. She didn’t walk away. Instead, she took a step closer and told me why it mattered so much. She’d been homeless for three years, sleeping in shelters and bus stations. Had it not been for the kindness of strangers — a hot meal here, a blanket there — she would not have survived. “I’m no longer homeless, and my situation has improved,” she said softly. “I promised myself that I would repay the kindness so many had shown me.” I was torn. Her words moved me deeply, yet I couldn’t help noticing her worn shoes and the frayed cuffs (脱线的袖口) of her coat. She had climbed out of hardship, but she clearly wasn’t living comfortably. Could I really let her spend her hard-earned money on a dress for my granddaughter? 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。 Seeing her expectant face, I eventually accepted her offer. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As we stepped out of the shop together, I hugged her. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Seeing her expectant face, I eventually accepted her offer. Tears welled up in my eyes as Dorothy wrapped the dress in soft paper. The stranger insisted on paying before I could change my mind, her rough hands trembling slightly as she counted out the bills. “You’ve given me hope today,” she whispered, tucking the receipt into my palm. Outside, the autumn wind carried fallen leaves across the pavement, but my heart felt warmer than ever. As we stepped out of the shop together, I hugged her. Her thin frame shook with quiet sobs against my shoulder. “Let me buy you lunch,” I insisted, linking my arm through hers. We spent the afternoon sharing stories at a small café, where she told me about her dream of opening a shelter for homeless women. When we parted, I pressed my spare grocery money into her hand. “Pay it forward,” I smiled, watching her walk away with newfound lightness in her step. Sometimes kindness flows in circles, connecting strangers through threads of compassion. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述作者在二手商店看中一条孙女米娅会喜欢的淡紫色连衣裙，但价格对于靠养老金生活的作者来说难以承担。一位曾经无家可归、受过陌生人恩惠的女士主动提出帮忙付款，想要传递善意，这让作者内心十分纠结。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者接受她的好意，陌生人付钱买下裙子，作者内心满是感动。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写走出商店后两人拥抱，作者请她吃饭并资助她，感悟善意循环传递的道理。 2. 续写线索：接受好意 —— 付款购裙 —— 内心温暖 —— 拥抱道别 —— 互相馈赠 —— 感悟善意循环 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①包裹：wrap/pack/enclose ②分开：part/depart/split up 情绪类 ①颤抖：trembling /shivering/shaking ②轻轻地：softly/quietly/gently 【点睛】【高分句型1】Tears welled up in my eyes as Dorothy wrapped the dress in soft paper.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】We spent the afternoon sharing stories at a small café, where she told me about her dream of opening a shelter for homeless women.（运用了where引导的非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三10月英语 注意事项： 1．答题前，务必将自己的个人信息填写在答题卡上，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，用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。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，将答案写在答题卡上。 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.

B Jennifer Ruesink was featured in UW News for her recent research, offering a new, non-chemical approach to controlling burrowing shrimp (蝼蛄虾) populations in shellfish-growing areas. Burrowing shrimp have been a nuisance for at least a century. In 1929, Belle Stevens, a University of Washington (UW) researcher, wrote: “Various means of defense against these persistent burrowers are tried but fruitless.” Shellfish farmers used to use insect killers, but the chemicals also brought risks to other organisms and could be transported in water outside the shellfish growing area. Therefore, the Department of Ecology instructed farmers to stop using insect killers in 2018. Since then, family-owned shellfish farms have been losing large parts of their growing grounds to burrowing shrimp. Later, research led by the UW has yielded a non-chemical method, which uses a custom-built platform to apply vibration (震动) and pressure to the shrimp’s home. Short of oxygen, the shrimp die in a few days. The researchers tested this method at four sites and found it worked just as well as insect killers, reducing the number of live shrimp by between 72% and 98%. “There is still a need for enough shrimp to serve as food for gray whales,” said Jennifer. “We’re trying to figure out how to keep them out of shellfish beds while letting them grow elsewhere.” While this proof-of-principle experiment seems promising, there’s more work to do before shellfish farmers can adopt it. Right now it’s a time-consuming and laborious process because everything is operated by humans. Also, more studies need to be done to determine the long-term impacts on the ecosystem. “What we’ve done so far is introduce a novel control mechanism (机制). No one had thought that you could trap the shrimp underground,” Jennifer said. “But this research wouldn’t have happened without the investment from the state and the private landowners and growers. I have such deep appreciation for the opportunity to work with folks on something that is clearly affecting their lives.” 4. What does the underlined part “a nuisance” in paragraph 2 mean? A. A big trouble. B. A water pollutant. C. A rare species. D. A local specialty. 5. What is a feature of the UW method? A. It works effectively. B. It is cost-saving. C. It is easy to operate. D. It frees up manpower. 6. What is Jennifer’s concern about the new method? A. It requires advanced equipment. B. It needs official approval. C. It can hardly be applied in practice. D. It may break the ecological balance. 7. What message does Jennifer deliver in the last paragraph? A. The new control mechanism is taking the lead. B. The research is a joint effort of multiple parties. C. Practical application matters more than lab research. D. Underground shrimp-trapping technology needs improving. C The concept of free will is fascinating in the world of philosophy. From the perspective of the human brain, however, it is something that scientists are just starting to look into. One study found there is surprisingly little difference in how the brain processes situations in which there are choices compared to those in which there really aren’t. The researchers scanned the participants’ brains in two given scenes where they had to make decisions. In the first scene, they were shown balloons of two different colors and told to pick whichever they wanted. They could use any criterion to pick a balloon. In the second scene, they were shown two identically colored balloons. In each case, they had to push a button as soon as they made a choice. The researchers monitored the brain scans to see what happened. Lead author Lauren explained that for both free and forced decisions, the brain activity unfolded in very similar ways. Like a loading bar, it climbed steadily to the same peak level just before a choice was made. When people decided quickly, the signal increased faster. When they took longer, it rose more slowly. “That’s exactly what you would expect if the brain were tracking and weighing up evidence over time, rather than simply reacting to a decision at the last moment.” The fact that in both scenes the brain followed the same path indicates the process is similar. Those who made decisions faster had scans that looked more similar to each other than those who made decisions more slowly. The similar brain patterns make it difficult to tell whether someone is really making a decision or just reacting to stimuli (刺激). The implications of this, if it holds true across various studies, will have to be debated among philosophers, but it does seem to lend some credibility to the idea that there really isn’t “free will” as most people understand it. 8. What were the participants asked to do in both scenes? A. Hit a button once they decided. B. Report how they made choices. C. Voice the differences of the balloons. D. Find identically colored balloons. 9. Which of the following is a finding of the study? A. Forced decisions require more time. B. Human brains react to choices instantly. C. Free choices create higher brain peaks. D. Fast deciders show more similar brain patterns. 10. What does the last paragraph convey about free will? A. It shapes our brain activity. B. It depends largely on outside stimuli. C. The common idea of it faces challenges. D. Philosophers have reached an agreement on it. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. New Evidence for the Existence of Free Will B. The Advantages of Free Choices over Forced Ones C. How Brain Science Challenges Philosophical Views D. A Scientific Look into the Process of Decision-Making D Water is known to have a critical point at high temperature. At about 374℃ and 218 times atmospheric pressure, the distinction between liquid and gas is wiped out. Beyond that critical point, water is what’s called a supercritical fluid (流体). Scientists had long predicted a second critical point at low temperature in supercooled water. Such water can stay in liquid form even below its regular freezing point for a short period. Certain odd properties of water gave scientists clues to this possibility. For example, most liquids increase in density (密度) upon cooling but water’s density increases until down to about 4℃, at which it reaches a maximum. Then, further cooling makes water less dense. Water’s heat capacity follows a similar trend. Scientists suspected these properties could be a sign of a critical point existing at lower temperature. However, experiments at pressures and temperatures close to the predicted critical point are challenging because supercooled water freezes almost instantly there. “We have to do everything very quickly,” one researcher said. In experiments, researchers hit each sample of ice with an infrared laser (红外激光), aiming to make the ice melt (融化). Then, with an X-ray laser, they examined the liquid’s structure and density under various pressures and temperatures. Pictures of the just-melted liquid, taken over time as the water expanded, showed how water behaved as the pressure in the sample decreased. Below the critical point, there was a distinct state transition from one liquid to another as the pressure dropped. At higher temperatures, there was no such transition between two distinct liquids, indicating that the critical point had been reached. “The results are impressive,” says physicist Greg Kimmel. “The data the researchers present show a clear picture, matching the critical point assumption. However, the work rests on one assumption: the liquid reaches a balanced state with stable matter and energy flow. Yet measurements are completed in an extremely short time, so whether the balanced state is achieved remains unknown. “ 12. What can be learned about supercooled water? A. It turns into gas at 374℃. B. It increases in density as temperature drops. C. It may remain liquid under the normal freezing point. D. It can reach its maximum density after being boiled. 13. What did the researchers do during the experiment? A. They stabilized the pressure of water samples. B. They recorded the efficiency of distinct equipment. C. They observed water’s state changes with pressure. D. They changed the critical point of supercooled water. 14. What can we infer from Greg Kimmel’s words? A. The experiment data are totally convincing. B. The research conclusion needs further proof. C. The balanced state has been confirmed in tests. D. The assumption of the critical point is groundless. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To display the common wrong belief about water. B. To introduce a study on water’s second critical point. C. To argue against the existence of water’s critical point. D. To explain the unique density changes of cooling water. 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。 It is easy to think of dental problems as something that happens suddenly, but in reality, many of the most common issues build quietly in the background, shaped by ordinary habits repeated day after day. ____16____ One of the biggest habits is also the most familiar: brushing. Most people know they should brush teeth for two minutes twice a day. ____17____ Rushing around the mouth in 30 seconds, rubbing too hard, or missing the gums (牙龈) can leave harmful bacteria behind and damage the gums. It is also worth remembering that brushing harder does not mean brushing better. ____18____ According to West House Dental, one of the most ignored risks is not always what people eat or drink, but how often their teeth are exposed to it. A sweet coffee on the way to work, a mid-morning snack, and a late-night treat can all create repeated acid attacks, giving teeth less time to recover between meals. Regular dental appointments are also part of prevention. ____19____ A check-up can spot early signs of wear, gum diseases or problems with old fillings before they become more complicated.

These can all help dental care feel normal rather than like a battle. A. Choose sugar-free drinks. B. Never consider them a response to pain. C. But technique matters just as much as frequency. D. Make brushing part of the morning and bedtime routine. E. Snacking is another everyday habit that can quietly affect teeth. F. So some people have turned to electric toothbrushes for convenience. G. That’s why prevention is more about the small things one does at home. 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。 It was supposed to be an ordinary afternoon ride.

It was pale purple, with tiny white flowers along the edge — exactly the kind of thing my granddaughter Mia would love. I held it up and smiled, already imagining the look on her face. But when I checked the price tag, my smile froze. Eighteen dollars. It wasn’t much for most people, but on my fixed income, eighteen dollars meant choosing between the dress and a week’s worth of groceries. I walked over to the store owner, a kind-faced woman named Dorothy. “Would you be able to hold this dress for me?” I asked. “Just until the end of the month, when I get my pension check.” Dorothy hesitated. “I’m sorry, dear. We don’t hold items. First come, first served.” My heart sank. I placed the dress back on the shelf, smoothing the fabric one last time. “May I buy the dress for you?” a voice behind me suddenly asked. I turned to find a woman with gentle eyes and a warm smile. She was dressed simply, her coat a size too large and her shoes worn at the toes. “Thank you, but I can’t accept such a gift,” I said, shaking my head. She didn’t walk away. Instead, she took a step closer and told me why it mattered so much. She’d been homeless for three years, sleeping in shelters and bus stations. Had it not been for the kindness of strangers — a hot meal here, a blanket there — she would not have survived. “I’m no longer homeless, and my situation has improved,” she said softly. “I promised myself that I would repay the kindness so many had shown me.” I was torn. Her words moved me deeply, yet I couldn’t help noticing her worn shoes and the frayed cuffs (脱线的袖口) of her coat. She had climbed out of hardship, but she clearly wasn’t living comfortably. Could I really let her spend her hard-earned money on a dress for my granddaughter? 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。 Seeing her expectant face, I eventually accepted her offer. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As we stepped out of the shop together, I hugged her. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
