I wanted mountains where bears lived.I had spent my whole life in the Midwest and longed for something new.The summer before I left,I visited Glacier National Park.A cold wind tore across the lake while lightning struck the peaks.I stood still,fascinated by a wild world I simply had to know. When my high school guidance counsellor-I will call him Mr.D-heard about my plans, he shook his head."Try Boston,"he said."Boston is full of opportunity.If you go to Montana, you will never get anything out of it." I left his office annoyed.In ten minutes he had brushed aside everything I knew about myself at seventeen.I did not want the safe,bookish(书呆子气的)life he pictured;I wanted a little grit and uncertainty.It was the boldness()of his advice that pushed me the other way.I went west, and I found opportunity. Mr.D died several years ago.I think of him now and then,no longer with anger but with something close to gratitude.He made me see that I could choose the life I wanted,and that people in authority do not always know better. Sometimes I wonder who I would be if I had taken his advice.Would I have met my Montana-bom husband?Would I have worked for a newspaper and would writing have become a career at all? I cannot know.But this evening I am watching light colours spread across the sky in New Mexico as the sun sets behind the mountains.And I know that I was meant to choose the mountains. 24.Why did the author apply to the University of Montana? A.She followed her heart. B.It promised her a scholarship C.Her parents had both studied there t,. D.It was the only college near mountains 0 25.How did the author feel right after talking with Mr.D? A.Grateful for his honest advice. B.Sorry that she had asked for his opinion. C.Uncertain about which university to choose. D.Angry that her own judgement had been rejected. 26.What does the underlined word "grit"in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A.Courage to meet challenges. B.Achance to travel widely. C.Freedom from daily routines. D.A strong desire for success. 高三英语试题第4页（共10页） 27.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.A Teacher Who Knew Best B.A City Full of Opportunity C.The Choice I Would Make Again D.The Advice I Should Have Taken C Look closely at the ground beneath America's largest cities,and you will find it is slowly giving way.A recent study in the journal Nature Cities examined the 28 most densely populated cities in the United States.Every one of them,the researchers report,is sinking to some degree. The scale is striking.In 25 of the 28 cities,land is sinking across more than two-thirds of the urban area.Roughly 34 million people live in the affected zones,where sinking ground can crack roads,damage buildings and raise the risk of flooding. Houston is sinking fastest.In more than 40 per cent of the city,the ground drops by over five millimetres a year;in places the land falls as much as five centimetres annually. The biggest cause is the pumping()of groundwater,which accounts for about 80 per cent of the sinking.When water is removed from underground layers,the spaces it once filled collapse and the surface above settles.Oil and gas extraction(),especially in Texas,adds to the problem. Not all of the movement is our doing.Parts of New York,Chicago and Denver are still adjusting to the disappearance of ice sheets some 20,000 years ago;the land beneath the ice has been rising again ever since.The weight of the buildings themselves plays a smaller part. Lead author Leonard Ohenhen of Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory notes that sinking is often invisible from the street,yet its effects are not:sinking land shortens the life of roads,railways and pipelines,and leaves cities more exposed when storms arrive. The good news is that the main cause can be managed.Cities that have regulated groundwater use have slowed their sinking measurably.What is needed now,the authors argue,is better monitoring-and the political will to act on what the measurements reveal. 28.What did the study find about the 28 cities? A.All of them are sinking to varying degrees. B.Only the largest ones are at risk of flooding. C.Their populations are falling as the land sinks. D.Most of them are sinking faster than expected. 29.What is the leading factor of the sinking? A.The weight of tall buildings. B.The removal of groundwater. C.The extraction of oil and gas. D.The melting of ancient ice sheets. 30.What can be inferred about the sinking of America's big cities? A.It is limited to a few coastal cities B.It is caused by the weight of tall buildings. C.It has been going on for thousands of years. D.It affects far more than the buildings above it. 高三英语试题第5页（共10页） 31.What is the authors'attitude towards the future of big cities? A.Openly doubtful. B.Deeply pessimistic. C.Cautiously optimistic. D.Completely indifferent. D Cities are noisy,grey and increasingly stressful.Could a small patch of restored forest change that?Researchers at North Carolina State University set out to test whether nature's sights and sounds improve mental health and whether one matters more than the other. The researchers gathered 106 participants together.Each sat for ten minutes in one of two places:a restored riverside forest,planted between 2002 and 2006,or a nearby built-up area( )with little greenery.While they sat,they wore noise-canceling headphones playing either birdsong or traffic noise.Location and sound were assigned at random,so the team could separate the effect of the place from that of the sound. Before and after each session,participants reported how stressed they felt,how positive and negative their emotions were,and how"restored"they felt,a measure psychologists call perceived restorativeness(感知恢复性). The results were clear.Both the setting and the soundtrack()influenced every measure, and the two worked together.The forest-plus-birdsong combination produced the best outcome on all counts:the lowest stress,the strongest positive emotions and the greatest sense of being restored. Sitting in the grey urban area listening to traffic produced the worst results,while the two mismatched combinations fell in between. "Positive emotions went up,negative emotions went down,stress went down,and perceptions of feeling restored went up more than in any other combination,"said Nils Peterson,a professor at NC State and the study's lead author. The findings support two long-standing ideas in psychology:that nature helps people recover from mental tiredness,and that it softens the body's response to stress.Birdsong,in particular,may be among the most accessible forms of nature-hearing it requires no equipment and no effort. Perhaps most importantly,the forest was not ancient woodland but land restored only two decades ago,which,the authors argue,provides evidence that a modest green space supporting birds can improve the health of people living nearby. 32.How were the participants tested in the experiment? A.They walked through the forest while listening to music. B.They chose their own setting and soundtrack before reporting. C.They sat in one of two settings while hearing one of two sounds. D.They compared the forest with the city over two separate weeks. 33.Why did the team assign location and sound at random? A.To make the experiment easier to carry out. B.To make sure every participant felt equally relaxed. C.To check whether the headphones worked properly. D.To distinguish the effect of the place from that of the sound. 高三英语试题第6页（共10页） 34.Which combination produced the greatest sense of being restored? A.The forest with birdsong. B.The forest with traffic noise. C.The built-up area with birdsong. D.The built-up area with traffic noise. 35.What does the study suggest for city planning? A.People should move away from busy city centres. B.Traffic noise should be banned around all green spaces. C.Large areas of ancient woodland can improve physical health. D.A small green space for birds can benefit nearby residents'health. 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。 Artificial intelligence (AI)enables machines to perform human-like tasks,learning and adapting while processing large amounts of data.36 Few technologies have entered classrooms so quickly,with no sign of slowing.These systems,recognizing speech,translating languages and making decisions,are changing how students learn and teachers work. The benefits are already visible.Administrators use AI to organize timetables and paperwork, freeing teachers to spend more time with students.They can also find patters that humans might miss.By studying patterns in test results and attendance,schools can identify leamers who are falling behind before it is too late.37 AI tools work in different ways.Reporting tools describe what has happened-the results of a term's assessments,for instance.Reactive tools respond to a student's actions in real time,such as a language app that corrects pronunciation as you speak.38 Tools of this third kind can war a school that a student is likely to struggle next term. 39 Privacy is one concem,since AI systems depend on large amounts of personal data. There is also a risk that programmes trained on past records will repeat past unfaimess,giving some students fewer opportunities than others.Teachers,meanwhile,may fear that technology is replacing their judgement rather than supporting it. Whatever problems remain,AI seems certain to play a larger part in education.40 Schools that introduce AI thoughtfully now are preparing students for the workplaces of tomorrow- and teaching them to ask what such tools should,and should not,be allowed to do. A.Using AI well,however,is not without difficulty. B.Schools are learning about AI's influence on education. C.AI can then provide personalized learning help for those studenis D.Some students,of course,still prefer to learn from a human teacher. E.Predicting what may happen next is a third and more ambitious use. F.Teachers should therefore check every answer that the software produces. G.Employers increasingly expect workers who can cooperate with intelligent machines. 高三英语试题：第7页（共10页） 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） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I spent the first forty years of my life staying away from water.My parents were 41 people; I learned early to avoid anything risky.At the beach I would 42 my father swim while I kept my feet on the sand.

One hot afteroon in July,a small envelope turned up among the usual piles.It was addressed in the round,careful letters of a child:"To Grandma from Abby."There was no street name,no house number and no return address,only the postal code shared by every family on Route 3.Tash tumed the envelope over twice.Abby,she guessed,was away at summer camp,writing home the way children do.Her grandmother,then,was somewhere among those 800 families.But which one?"If I guess wrong,"Tash thought,"a stranger opens a letter that isn't theirs,and Abby's grandma never learns it was written to her." Back at the post office,a colleague shrugged."No name,no address-it goes to the shredder ()"Tash said nothing.The rules,she knew,were made for letters that nobody was waiting for.This one was different. She thought of the girl far from home,waiting for an answer that might never come,and of the grandmother who might wonder why Abby had forgotten her.Throwing the letter away felt wrong; keeping it in her bag helped no one. Then an idea came to her.She laid the envelope on the counter,took a photo of it,and then typed a short message:"This letter is on my route today.Can anyone help me find Abby's grandma?" Before she could change her mind,she posted the photo and message online."Let's just see what happens,"she said to herself. 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。 Within hours,Tash's post had been shared hundreds of times. On Saturday morning,Tash pulled up in front of a small white house on Route 3. 高三英语试题第10页（共10页）
