Yiwu International Commodities Fair Backed by top Chinese government agencies,it was China's first UFI-certified(国际展览 联盟认证的)trade fair for imported goods,featuring household items,personal care products,food and more.Running from October 21 to 24 at the Yiwu International Expo Center,the fair welcomed in 2025 around 200,000 visitors and 3,600 international businesses from 81 countries. China-ASEAN Expo This annual expo celebrates China's partnership with ASEAN nations,serving as a key platform for trade,diplomacy and regional cooperation across digital goods,health,tourism and education.Over 1,700 exhibitors from more than 40 countries attended,providing valuable opportunities for networking.The 22nd expo,held from September 17 to 25,2025, took place outside China for the first time,with Myanmar as the host. China International Industry Fair (CIIF) A significant platform for industrial innovation in China,CIIF brings together global brands,policymakers and investors.It covers advanced manufacturing,industrial decarbonization and digital technologies.The fair hosted over 2,600 exhibitors from 27 countries and attracted approximately 200,000 trade visitors.It was held from September 23 to 27,2025,in Shanghai.

B Ted Turner,who passed away in May 2026 at the age of 87,was never just a businessman.He was the flamboyant(个性张扬的)founder of CNN,a champion sailor,anda 欧 billionaire.But his true story is not about how he made his fortune-it is about who he became after he lost it. In the 1980s and 1990s,Turner built a media empire.He changed how the world gets news by creating CNN,the first 24-hour news channel.He was bold,loud,and full of ideas. At his peak,he seemed unstoppable. However,Turner's later years were marked by a dramatic fall.After merging his company with Time Warner,he was eventually pushed out.He lost control of the very network he had created."I got fired for the first time in my life,"he once said.Losing his wealth and power was a blow.For many,such a loss might mean the end. 封 But Turner did not retire in bitterness.Instead,he turned to another passion he had long held-protecting the land.He became one of the largest private landowners in the United States.He bought huge ranches not for profit,but to restore nature.He worked to save American bison and other species from disappearing.He also gave hundreds of millions of dollars to support United Nations causes. He did not define himself by his peak achievements or by his title as the"CNN founder". Instead,he defined himself by how he handled the fall from power.He could have lived quietly on his money,but he chose to work for something bigger.He was a wild,idealistic figure,often ridiculed by others.But in the end he is remembered not just for changing 线 television,but for trying to save the planet,especially when he no longer held power. 24.What did Turner achieve in the 1980s and 1990s? A.He merged his company with Time Warner. B.He created the first 24-hour news channel. C.He became a champion sailor. D.He bought huge ranches in the US 25.What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A.The rise of Turner's media empire. B.Turner's regret over getting fired. 【高三英语囵第4页（共10页）】 紧因全任 。--。2-。2。一 C.The merger between Turner and Time Warner.

C In February,Kelly Seaton's revenue(收人)was￡20，Oo0 lower than in September,as she now receives less per litre of milk than it costs to produce.Her situation is far from isolated.Across Britain,a market glut has pushed average milk prices down by 17%since September,leaving many producers facing mounting losses. Paradoxically,the root of the crisis lies in a recent success.Last summer,relatively strong prices encouraged farmers to maintain high production levels.However,when a drought hit,grass was replaced with nutrient-rich feed usually reserved for winter.This unintended dietary shift boosted milk yields,further worsening an already oversupplied market.Yet supply is only part of the problem. Demand is also changing in subtle but significant ways.Milk consumption is gradually declining as more Britons switch to plant-based alternatives such as oat,soy and almond drinks.At the same time,sugary cereals-once a key driver of milk consumption-have become less popular among health-conscious consumers.These shifts away from traditional breakfast habits and towards vegan-friendly diets have steadily eroded domestic demand just as output continues to rise. Some farmers acknowledge their own role in the imbalance,arguing that the industry has long prioritized volume over value.Others point to supermarkets'strong pricing power, which reduces farm profits while keeping retail prices relatively stable.As a result,many small-scale producers are now considering exiting the industry,while larger farms explore diversification into cheese and yogurt,which offer longer shelf lives and higher profits. For policymakers,the dilemma is equally complex.Intervention through subsidies ()restrictions on production or support for exports could stabilize prices but may also weaken long-term competitiveness.Meanwhile,consumers enjoy cheaper milk at the checkout,often unaware of the financial pressure behind its production. Basically,Britain's "milk mountain"illustrates a broader challenge in modern agriculture:when supply outpaces demand,even a major product can become a problem. Without changes to consumption patterns or production systems,the oversupply is likely to persist,leaving farmers like Kelly Seaton questioning whether all the daily hard work is still worthwhile. 【高三英语囵第5页（共10页）】 紧因金任 -…。-。。。- 28.What does the underlined word "glut"in paragraph 1 mean?

Previous studies using satellite data found links between people living in bright urban areas and heart disease,but they only measured outdoor light at night.Daniel Windred at Flinders University in Australia and his colleagues wanted to know whether an individual's overall light exposure was associated with cardiovascular(心血管的)problems. They tracked about 89,000 people without cardiovascular disease who wore light sensors for one week between 2013 and 2016.The sensors captured any natural or artificial light from their environment,including that emitted from phones."This is the biggest study of personal light exposure patterns and cardiovascular health to date,"says Windred. Over eight years,those with the brightest nights had a 23 percent to 56 percent higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease than those with dark nights.The association was independent of sleep duration or genetic tendency,pointing to night light exposure as the key driver.Even short exposures matter:the body continues to respond to artificial light after it has been switched off. Although women typically have lower rates of heart disease than men of the same age, the women in the study exposed to bright night light had similar heart risks to the men. Evidence suggests that women experience greater reduction of the hormone melatonin )which drives circadian rhythms,in response to bright light-their circadian system is more sensitive to bright light. Disturbance to circadian rhythms can affect blood sugar and blood pressure,both risk factors for heart disease."In the age of the 24/7 society,imbalance in our circadian systems has become increasingly common.This study highlights the significant health dangers of light exposure at the 'wrong'time,"says Martin Young at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.Windred recommends making nights darker,such as by using dim,warm 【高三英语图第6页（共10页）】 餐巴扫描全能王 病1觉人群直用的日A时 lighting at night. 32.What is highlighted concerning night light in paragraph 1? A.Its association with heart disease. B.Its influence on sleep quality. C.Its importance in modern life. D.Its impact on eyesight. 33.How did Windred's study differ from previous ones? A.It relied on the collected satellite data. B.It covered patients with heart disease. C.It measured individuals'overall light exposure. D.It focused on people living in modern cities. 34.What do the findings about women suggest? A.Greater light reactivity in women. B.Lower heart risks in men. C.Stronger protective effects of age. D.Equal exposure to night light. 35.Why does the author quote Martin's words in the last paragraph? A.To question the research methods. B.To stress the significance of the research. C.To introduce a different opinion. D.To explain the workings of circadian systems. 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 How to manage the fear of being disliked At some point,you've probably taken a dislike to someone,and might be able to pinpoint some superficial reason why,such as an offhand comment that stuck with you.If someone else dislikes you,it might be for similarly minor reasons.36 Fortunately,there are ways to loosen its grip on how you speak,dress,socialize and even dream,and counselors say most of them are learnable. ·37 Recognizing that the fear of being disliked is a common and understandable response to the threat of social rejection can reduce the sense of shame that can accompany it.Allow yourself to admit the feeling rather than dismissing it as silly.Naming it out loud,she adds,is often the first step toward taking away its power rather than letting it quietly steer your choices Reframe internal beliefs. Often,the fear of being disliked stems from our own insecurities,like the fear of not being good enough.38 It can also help to reframe "all-or-nothing"thinking into more realistic ways.Instead of assuming someone dislikes you,consider that they might simply be having a bad day. ·Count the cost.. Ask yourself what is the worst thing that could happen if someone dislikes you-more likely than not,you'll realize the fear is disproportionate(不相称的)to reality.Remind yourself that others'opinions are shaped by their own experiences,biases,and insecurities. 39 【高三英语囵第7页（共10页）】 紧因全手 。…22-2-- Ultimately,overcoming the fear of being disliked starts with liking yourself.40 "When you nurture self-acceptance,others'opinions lose their power to dictate your emotional state,"explains Tina,a licensed counselor.With enough practice,you can embrace the freedom of being your authentic self. A.Acknowledge your feelings. B.Recognize other people's views. C.Yet knowing this rarely stops the fear from taking hold. D.This inner shift takes time,yet it is a skill anyone can build. E.Their judgement,then,says far more about them than it does about you. F.Speaking to a psychologist can help you understand where these beliefs come from. G.Talking to your teachers can help you work out how to win over whoever dislikes you. 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人空白处的最佳选项。 I had always loved adventure.In my late twenties,I hiked across the Americas.Then I settled down as a photographer.In 2016,after a broken relationship,I 41 on a solo 1,000-mile walk through Central Asia.Slow travel brought me amazing 42,but back home I struggled:I'm not naturally good at starting conversations with strangers.

Nonetheless,early the next morning,we set off,eager to make this dream a reality.The difficulty was apparent from the start.The route was steep,and my body protested with every step.About halfway up,we met a couple who had decided to turn back,clearly discouraged by the difficulty of the route.I noticed the husband's disappointed expression, and something in me shifted.I couldn't bear the thought of giving up.Right then,I made up 封 my mind that I would press on,no matter how tough it got. As we continued on,a surprising thing happened.Instead of focusing on how difficult the hike was,I found myself appreciating the beauty of the surrounding landscape.Each step through the woods felt like a journey into a timeless world,where the stress and noise of modern life seemed to disappear,replaced by the timeless rhythms of nature. My husband and I chatted as we walked,and I realized how much joy I found in the simple pleasure of his company.What had seemed like an unattainable goal had transformed into a source of personal fulfillment and connection with nature and my husband. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； 线 (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 However,the hike wasn't without its challenges.
