B Last spring,I volunteered at a small community garden near my apartment,expecting nothing more than simple physical labour:pulling weeds,watering young plants and clearing dead branches.I viewed it as a casual hobby to fill spare hours and yield a handful of vegetables,and carried my phone everywhere,ready to pause work and reply to messages whenever alerts popped up. One afternoon,an elderly gardener working beside me moved slowly,pausing to study each seedling before reaching out to touch it.When I rushed to pull out weeds in quick,sharp tugs,he stopped me,saying plants reveal their needs only to those who slow down enough to watch them,I laughed at first,dismissing his patience as impractical and fussy(挑剔的)，but as I followed his lead,I picked up on subtle signs I had glossed over()slight curling leaves, faint shifts in soil moisture,tiny insects feeding gently on the greenery. That small encounter set me thinking about a common pattern of modern life:we chase immediate gains and measurable returns,judging every activity by its instant output,and write off stillness and careful observation as unproductive waste.We long for instant satisfaction, growing frustrated with processes that unfold at their own pace rather than on our preferred schedule.The garden taught me a quieter truth:not all valuable progress shows itself in numbers or finished tasks,and some rewards can never be captured in data or marked off a task list.True attention demands that we set aside our urge to rush for results,and simply be present. Now I visit the garden weekly,my phone is placed deep in my bag.I still value efficiency in daily work,yet I've come to see that meaning is not always tied to quick achievements. Some of life's most vital lessons emerge not when we hurry,but when we pause and notice. 24.Which word best describes the author's early gardening practice? A.Digital-aided. B.Efficiency-driven. C.Detail-oriented. D.Growth-focused. 高三年级头语科试卷第页共12项 25.Why does the author tell the story of the elderly gardener? A.To explain the secret of plant growth B.To praise the wisdom of aged gardeners C.To compare different gardening methods. D.To introduce his change in values. 26.What is the author's attitude toward the "common pattern of modern life"? A.Critical. B.Supportive. C.Indifferent. D.Neutral. 27.What is the key message of the text? A.Gardening fosters a peaceful mind. B.Efficiency fails to deliver real meaning. C.Slow attention unlocks overlooked values. D.Quantified progress often goes unnoticed. C Every few years,a popular science book emerges that reshapes public understanding of the human body.The Selfish Gene did so for evolutionary biology in the 1970s,and The Emperor of All Maladies did the same for cancer research.This month,a new work joins that select company:Roxanne Khamsi's Beyond Inheritance. Beyond Inheritance centers on somatic mutation(体细胞突变)一the gradual accumulation of DNA changes in our cells as we age.Though rarely discussed in mainstream conversation,its implications are so far-reaching that it is bound to become a landmark in popular biology writing. At its core is a simple yet transformative claim:the DNA you were born with is not identical to what you carry today,nor does it stay static lifelong.Traditional biology teaches that mutations fall into two categories:either passed down from parents,or random mutations, mostly rare and causing cancer.Yet years of advanced DNA research shows the latter is far more common and impactful than previously assumed.Our cells accumulate changes constantly;by middle age,the body is a mix of cells with slightly different genetic codes.Some trigger disease,some are harmless,and a few even support the body's self-repair. Khamsi,an award-winning science journalist,unpacks these ideas with remarkable clarity. What sets the book apart is its balanced perspective:mutations are not merely a health threat. The same process can drive illness,but also enable the body to heal itself.For instance,some children with a severe immune disorder have recovered naturally,thanks to acquired mutations 高三年级英语科试卷第5页共12见 that shut off the faulty gene precisely. Beyond Inheritance never overstates its conclusions;when evidence is preliminary, Khamsi acknowledges it openly.This honesty,paired with accessible prose,makes it more than a casual read.It lays the foundation for a new way of understanding human health,one that will shape medical research for years to come. 28.What does the underlined phrase "select company"in Paragraph 1 probably refer to? A.Medical experts B.Leading firms. C.Influential reads. D.Scientific studies. 29.What can be inferred about somatic mutations from the new findings? A.They are mostly rare. B.They have mixed effects. C.They start at middle age. D.They are inherited from parents. 30.Why does the author mention children with immune disorders? A.To show the upside of mutations. B.To highlight medical advancement. C.To identify the cause of the disease. D.To stress the randomness of mutations. 31.What type of writing is this article? A.A research report. B.A book review. C.A popular science essay. D.A news story. D For decades,solar power and crop farming have been widely seen as competitors for limited agricultural land:installing photovoltaic (panels means occupying farmland, which is often viewed as a risk to food security.This so-called "land trade-off'has long restricted the expansion of solar energy in China's main grain-producing regions.Yet a three-year field study released in June 2026 challenges this view,presenting a practical model 一agrivoltaics(农光互补)，which combines power generation and crop production on the same plot of land. The research team set up three parallel groups at a test site on the North China Plain: open-air farmland as control,farmland with standard fixed solar panels,and farmland with raised single-axis tracking panels.They monitored three core categories of indicators across all plots:crop yield and quality,solar power output,and soil water consumption plus carbon emissions.All plots adopted the same winter wheat-summer maize rotation system to ensure consistent conditions. 高三年级英语科试卷第6页共12页 The results revealed a surprising win-win pattern.Under the raised tracking panels,total grain yield dropped by only 4.2 percent,while annual power generation reached 1.28 million kWh per hectare,lifting overall economic retums by 63 percent.More importantly,the shade from panels cut soil water loss by 18 percent,reducing watering demand,and carbon emissions per unit of grain fell by 22 percent. The study provides the first systematic quantitative data on agrivoltaics in China's major grain regions,offering solid support for the coordinated development of farmland protection and clean energy transition.Still,researchers acknowledge clear limitations:the trial only covered staple grain crops,and suitability for vegetables and fruits remains untested."It's not a one-size-fits-all solution,"notes the lead researcher."But it opens a promising path for more efficient land use.” 32.What is the purpose of agrivoltaics? A.To dismiss the land trade-off. B.To secure agriculture's dominance. C.To eliminate land-use competition. D.To balance crop yield with power output. 33.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A.The selection of test site locations B.The crop rotation system on the farm. C.The experimental design of the study. D.The working principle of solar panels. 34.What can we leamn from the study about the agrivoltaic model? A.It causes a sharp drop in crop yield. B.It reduces the demand for farm maintenance. C.It cuts carbon emissions per unit of land area D.It boosts both economic and environmental benefits. 35.What is the main point of the last paragraph? A.The research value and its drawbacks. B.The importance of land use efficiency. C.The application prospects of agrivoltaics. D.The challenges of agricultural transformation 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 高三年级英语科试卷第7页共12页 多余选项。 Picking a suitable university in the UK can be challenging with hundreds of higher education institutions available.36 Understanding their core features and positioning helps you make the wisest choice for your study abroad journey. Traditional universities are the oldest and most established group,with long-standing academic reputations and strict theoretical training.They focus on in-depth academic research, and many prestigious Russell Group institutions fall into this category with high entry requirements.37 Metropolitan universities,mostly founded in the 1990s,serve as the practical-oriented alternative.38They partner closely with local businesses to provide internship()opportunities,and usually have lower entry requirements than traditional ones. Specialist universities centre on a single professional field such as art,law or music.They deliver highly tailored training with industry expert tutors,and are often called"conservatoires" or“academies'.39 40 No single type is universally superior to the others.The right choice always depends on your personal learning style and career goals. A.Each has unique strengths. B.Class sizes are much smaller there. C.Three main types dominate the field. D.They offer diverse occupational courses. E.They also have well-funded research labs. F.Yet they may not suit practice-focused learners. G.The best fit relies on the value and status of the university 第三部分语盲运用（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最佳选项。 When Sun's daughter was 3,she imitated her father painting porcelain."Dad,let me teach you how to paint,"Sun 41 her saying with a laugh.It was a/an 42 that his family's connection to porcelain may carry on to the next generation. 高三年级英语利试卷第8页共12页 Sun,a fourth-generation porcelain craftsman in Jingdezhen,cmbodies that connection:he learned from his father at 13;those years taught him that skill is mastered through 43 "Only when skills in your hands are solid can 44 come alive."45 Chinese painting and family techniques,he explores varied subjects.

Then came the unwelcome news.The old building was scheduled for a full safety repair to fix its cracked walls and aging wires.Mrs.Nora had to move to a smaller shop down the street. The thought of packing,carrying and rearranging over 5,000 photo albums,hundreds of fragile negative boxes,her father's old camera and all the backdrop props was overwhelming.Hiring a moving team would cost far more than she could afford.For weeks,she sat alone after closing, wondering if she would have to lock the door forever. She mentioned her trouble to a few regular customers-Mr.Davis,a retired principal who came every month to print old photos,and a teenage girl who worked part-time on weekends.Word spread slowly through the town.People talked about it at the grocery store,at the bus stop,over the fence in their backyards. Moving day arrived.Mrs.Nora stood in the middle of her shop,staring at rows of albums, her throat tight with worry.She had expected to spend the whole day packing and carrying by herself.Then she heard footsteps-first a pair,then a dozen,then a whole crowd.When she looked up,her breath caught in her throat. 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。 Para 1 A buman chain of nearly 200 townsfolk lined up from the old studio to the new storefront.

Careful hands passed each photo album one after another along the line.As albums changed hands. happy voices burst out now and then."It's my full-moon photo!"a boy exclaimed."This was my wedding day!"a woman whispered."Look,my graduation portrait!"an old man murmured.Brief joy flickered before they continued passing the albums.Each album traveled gently,carried by wave after wave of hands.Watching the steady stream of passing albums,Mrs.Nora stood rooted to the spot,her throat tight with unshed tears. 1 Para 2 When the last dusty photo album was placed on the new shelf,Mrs.Nora stepped forward, hands trembling.Rows of photo albums stood neatly on the wooden shelves,just as they had in the old shop.She glanced at the familiar faces on the album pages,feeling a warm wave of gratitude wash over her.It suddenly dawned on her that her studio was never merely a place for taking pictures.It was a treasure-house holding the precious shared memories of the whole town. Before long,townsfolk began to drop by the new shop,flipping through albums and sharing stories of the past.Though the location had changed,the warmth and memories remained unchanged.Mrs.Nora smiled,knowing her little photo studio would keep recording people's life stories for years to come. 听力原文： Text1上周末的活动 W:Ryan,how was your weekend?Did you enjoy the picnic?

Text10分享创业经历 M:17If you are interested in investing in startups,this class is perfectly designed for you.I'm Jeffrey Bussgang,who has been giving this class to college students for over a decade.Today I'm going to share with you two stories. Songe LaRon and Dave Salvant found themselves drawn to business,and the lack of change in the barbershop experience caught their attention.18 So they began the building of Squire, originally a customer-facing app.To spread the word about it and get immediate feedback,they set up a pop-up barbershop.They discovered that the app effectively solved the issues they'd experienced as customers but it failed to satisfy barbers'needs.So they decided to shift from targeting end consumers to targeting barbershop owners,and purchased a barbershop to learn how to adapt Squire.Salvant called this a"bet-the-company"move because they used over half their funds.The risk paid off.They learned the challenges of running a barbershop. 1920Another story is about Tanya Menendez,who studied Economic Sociology in college. After working in law,she decided to make a change after graduation.She first joined a leather goods company.After working there for a year,20she noticed it was difficult to find American factories that could make leather goods.To solve this problem,Menendez created Maker's Row, an online platform that connects American factories with designers.
