B Before meeting a client, Virginia Chang performs a fixed procedure she calls “becoming an empty vessel (器皿).” Standing on the busy streets of New York City, she closes her eyes, plants her feet firmly on the ground, and breathes deeply. She quiets her mind to set aside her own worries and cares. This preparation is essential for her unique job: she is an end-of-life doula. The word “doula” originates from Greek, meaning “woman who serves.” While birth doulas support mothers during labor, end-of-life doulas like Chang accompany people in their final days. Their role is non-medical; at its core, it is an act of companionship toward the unknown. They might help clients express their wishes regarding medical treatment, offer Swedish death cleaning services, or simply sit and listen. One of Chang’s clients was Eleanor Lennard, a 101-year-old woman living in an apartment on East Fifty-second Street. Eleanor had lost her husband for more than two decades. Nearly all of her friends were dead, and she had lost most of her sight. Although her mind was still sharp, she felt lonely and left out. She wanted to have conversations, to discuss art and literature. When her care facility learned this, they sent Chang. Chang had been seeing Eleanor weekly since January. However, one afternoon, a caregiver reported that Eleanor was upset and confused. She had tried to get out of bed by herself and had to be restricted. Inside the apartment, the shades were drawn. Family portraits decorated the hallway: smiling children and a couple leaning toward each other in a private moment of happiness. Two caregivers eased Eleanor from her bedroom to an armchair in the study. She sat there, looking small and fragile. When Chang arrived, she didn’t rush to fix anything. She simply sat beside Eleanor, holding her hand and breathing with her. Slowly, the tension left Eleanor’ s body. “I just wanted to go to the window,” Eleanor whispered. “I wanted to see the light.” Chang helped her move to the window, where the late afternoon sun was streaming in. They sat together in silence, watching the light change on the buildings across the street. In that moment, there was no medical crisis, no family anxiety, just two human beings sharing the quiet beauty of being alive. 24. What is the main purpose of Chang’s fixed procedure before meeting a client? A. To pray for the client’s recovery. B. To practice breathing exercises for health. C. To clear her mind of personal distractions. D. To memorize the client’s medical history. 25. Why did Eleanor feel “lonely and left out” according to the text? A. Her daughter rarely visited her in the hospital. B. She had lost her sight and couldn’t take photos. C. The caregivers in the facility were too busy to talk to her. D. She lacked meaningful social interaction and connection. 26. What is the author’s attitude towards the role of end-of-life doulas? A. Appreciative and respectful. B. Objective and indifferent. C. Critical and skeptical. D. Sympathetic but doubtful. 27. What can be inferred about the “light” Eleanor wanted to see at the end of the story? A. It reminded her of her late husband. B. It symbolized her hope for a medical cure. C. It represented a moment of peace and presence. D. It reflected her regret for missing the beautiful sunset. C Across European cities, some streets are being covered with special photocatalytic (光催化的) pavement. When sunlight hits this material, it triggers chemical reactions that break down certain polluting gases from vehicle exhaust. City officials expect the new pavement to cut air pollution close to street level. Marta Ruiz is an environmental engineer who lives in one test district. “I was excited when workers laid the new pavement near my apartment,” Ruiz says. “I walk here every day, and air quality worries me all the time. If road surfaces can help clean the air, that would be wonderful.” She hopes local government will expand this technology across more busy streets. Yet researchers warn against over-optimism. Dr. James Owen’s team has studied real-world test sites for years. Lab tests show the material works well. But on actual city streets, many things weaken its performance. Dust and dirt gather rapidly on top of the pavement, blocking sunlight. Rain can wash away part of the active chemical layer. Heavy traffic brings constant new pollution. As a result, the real-world pollution-removing effect becomes limited. The technology does not mean cities can ignore car emissions. “We should not treat photocatalytic pavement as a replacement for cutting vehicle pollution,” Owen stresses. It works as an auxiliary (辅助的) tool, not a main solution. Some city planners argue that even limited improvement is better than nothing. Public support matters too: many citizens welcome any small move toward cleaner air. Projects are continuing. Engineers are adjusting material formulas to resist dirt. They also explore combining this pavement with tree-planting programs. No single technology can solve urban air problems, but multiple small measures together may make real progress. 28. Why do some European cities use photocatalytic pavement? A. To cut the high cost of city street repairs. B. To improve air quality near road surfaces. C. To reduce traffic accidents on busy streets. D. To replace traditional worn-out road materials. 29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Different ways to prevent city street dust. B. Reasons for banning heavy-traffic vehicles. C. Factors reducing the pavement’s practical effect. D. Procedures of carrying out lab-based experiments. 30. What message does Dr. Owen want to convey? A. Tree-planting is more effective than new road materials. B. The new technology should be widely applied immediately. C. Citizens should raise their environmental awareness actively. D. The pavement cannot take the place of lowering car pollution. 31. Which is the suitable title for the text? A. New Technology to Prevent Vehicle Exhaust B. Photocatalytic Pavement: Promise and Limitations C. European Cities: Fighting Pollution by Tree-planting D. A New Pavement: A Perfect Solution to Air Pollution D A breakthrough electronic skin developed by scientists at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf could soon enable futuristic technologies like underwater smartphones or VR contact lenses. Published in Nature Communications, this thin, transparent e-skin detects magnetic fields (磁场) using just one sensor while allowing air and moisture to pass through — imitating real human skin. Originally designed for robots, e-skins aim to restore lost senses in humans or enhance machines’ ability to “feel”. Traditional versions, however, required huge batteries and complex electronics. “Existing systems use many sensors, like phone touchscreens,” explains HZDR researcher Denys Makarov. “We wanted energy-efficient designs that match human skin’ s softness.” The team replaced rigid electronic supports with a flexible, hole-punched membrane (薄膜) thinner than a human hair. This lets the artificial layer “breathe” while maintaining sensitivity. To solve limited space for components, they created a single magnetic sensor area. When exposed to magnetic fields, changes in the material’ s electrical conductivity help pinpoint (精准确定) signal origins — similar to how nerves send touch data to the brain. “This mimics biology,” says lead author Pavlo Makushko. “Real skin sends signals to the brain for processing. Our e-skin uses a central unit to interpret magnetic patterns.” The design borrows tomography — a medical imaging technique — to locate signals from multiple angles, previously deemed too weak for magnetic materials. Lab tests proving this method’ s effectiveness mark a key milestone. Potential applications include drawing with magnetic pens, underwater phone controls, or VR interactions without physical contact. Magnetic sensors also resist interference better than standard electronics, enabling robots to track motion in challenging environments. Winter glove users, for instance, could operate phones through magnetic patches without removing gloves. Importantly, the e-skin’s simplicity reduces power needs, addressing a major hurdle in wearable tech. While current uses focus on machines, Makushko highlights its human-machine interface potential: “Magnetoreception offers new ways for people and devices to communicate.” As research advances, this innovation could bridge sci-fi fantasies and daily life, transforming how we interact with technology. 32. What is the main advantage of the new e-skin compared to traditional versions? A. It functions only in underwater conditions. B. It fully imitates human skin’s capabilities. C. It employs multiple sensors for improved precision. D. It uses fewer components and consumes less power. 33. How does the e-skin imitate the function of human skin and the brain? A. By requiring users to wear magnetic gloves. B. By using tomography to repair damaged nerves. C. By sending signals directly to a central processing unit. D. By blocking air and moisture for having better protection. 34. What does the underlined word “hurdle” in the last paragraph mean? A. Obstacle. B. Solution. C. Advantage. D. Feature. 35. What can we infer about the new e-skin from the text? A. It may cover human skin’s medical roles. B. It is very promising in human-machine communication. C. It will soon be widely used in daily consumer electronics. D. Its magnetic sensors can work free from electronic interference. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When a project fails or a deadline is missed, it can be incredibly satisfying to shift the blame onto others, saying, “Well, it’s the marketing team’s fault,” or “I know I’m late, but the flight was delayed.” It may genuinely not be your fault. 36 In fact, you can regain a profound sense of agency over your life if you stop getting stuck on who is to blame and start focusing on how to cope with the situation. This is the winner’s key to success. 37 It helps little to discover who is responsible. It wastes time and energy that could be better spent solving the problem. Worse still, it can easily stir up conflicts and damage relationships. When people are busy defending themselves or accusing others, they are not moving forward. In the end, blaming may bring temporary satisfaction, but it never changes the situation. The moment you stop looking backward, you free yourself to look forward. For example, if a colleague consistently causes problems due to a lack of responsibility, find ways to navigate around their unreliability instead of simply complaining. You could ask to work with a different person or adjust your workflow to minimize dependency. You must accept that the person is not reliable and figure out creative strategies to achieve your goals regardless of their shortcomings. 38 Consider the case of a manager whose team missed a critical deadline because of poor communication. Instead of pointing fingers at individual team members, a winning leader would implement a new tracking system and hold daily check-ins to prevent future problems. They encounter just as many obstacles. 39 They simply view those problems as inevitable challenges and opportunities to develop their own capabilities. Winners excel at tackling problems. While ordinary people remain trapped in the cycle of frustration and self-pity, winners consciously redirect their mental energy toward actionable solutions. They understand that true power comes not from finding a person to blame, but from mastering the situation at hand. 40 Only in this way can you turn difficulties into stepping stones on your road to success. A. So, quit asking whose fault it is. B. Never rely on your colleagues again. C. You have no capacity to change things. D. The difference lies in their perspective. E. But blaming others leaves you powerless. F. Focusing on blame only makes things worse. G. This shift significantly prevents negative emotions. 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Officer Daniel Reed was watching over a fuel station in Knox County when he spotted a young mother weeping at a back table, her two little girls sitting frozen and watching her with 41 eyes.

With enough money for bus tickets and meals, Reed handed the cash to the woman, whose tears returned, but this time they were tears of pure 52 . A nearby couple soon joined them, offering quiet words of 53 , before Reed radioed the station that the situation had been 54 .

The exhibition, 57 (hold) at the city’s Winland Center, showcases over 67 works by Lin Chenxi, 58 professor at the China Academy of Art. Through his art, he explores cultural roots hidden in paintings, bridging distant civilizations, nurturing mutual understanding, 59 forming lasting ties between Brazil and China. Earlier this year, some of Lin’s works 60 (present) at a major art platform in Brazil and have been collected by a museum that is much 61 (large)than others in Latin America. A Brazilian visitor standing before a Chinese painting may discover something unfamiliar. However, that same visitor may also find something 62 (equal) familiar. That combination of difference and 63 (recognise) is one of the great powers of art. It is particularly appropriate as 2026 is the China-Brazil Year of Culture, 64 offers artists and audiences in both countries the chance to meet. Meanwhile, there is another special connection, since 2026 also marks the 25th anniversary of sister-city relations between Curitiba and Hangzhou. Today, that connection becomes even more meaningful, as art serves 65 a bridge for the two cities. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 假定你是李华，你的好友光明高中国际部学生Mike正在筹备下个月的“Campus Hidden Talents”活动。他在活动形式上遇到了困难，担心传统的才艺表演缺乏新意，难以吸引大家参与。请你用英文给他写一封邮件，内容包括： （1）提出一种创新的活动形式； （2）说明该形式的优势； （3）表达期待与鼓励。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Mike, Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 I still remember that afternoon clearly. The gym was dull, the air thick with the smell of sweat, and Coach Ryan’s voice echoed off the walls as usual: “Great job, Jake! That’s my boy!” Jake. Always Jake. I sat on the bench, wiping my face with a towel, watching Jake sink another three-pointer. Ryan clapped like he’d just witnessed a miracle. When I made the same shot five minutes earlier, Ryan only nodded and said, “Keep it up, Mike.” I’d been on the team for two years. I practiced harder than anyone, arriving early, staying late. But no matter what I did, Jake was the one Ryan praised. Jake got the starting position. Jake got the special attention. Jake got everything. Something cold and hard settled in my chest. Fine, I thought. I’ll show him. I’ll show everyone. The inter-school group stage game arrived on a Saturday morning. The gym was packed with students, parents, teachers. The noise was deafening. We were down by two points with thirty seconds left. The ball was in my hands. I saw Jake wide open to my right. I saw our center under the basket, waving for a pass. I saw Ryan gesturing from the sideline. I didn’t pass. I drove forward, ignoring two defenders, and launched a contested shot. The ball hit the rim and bounced away. The other team grabbed the rebound, and the buzzer sounded. We lost. Silence filled the gym, at least, it felt like silence to me. My teammates stood frozen. Jake stared at me, disbelief in his eyes. I wanted to disappear. After the game, Ryan gathered us in the locker room. His face was calm, but his eyes were serious. No one spoke. I prepared myself for the criticism, the shouting, the blame I deserved. Ryan looked at each of us slowly. Then he spoke, his voice low but steady. “Boys, basketball isn’t about one person. It’s about five fingers on a hand. When they work together, they form a fist. Tonight, we didn’t lose because of one shot. We lost because we stopped trusting each other. I don’t care how many points you score. I care about whether you lift each other up or tear each other down.” His words hit me like a physical blow. I lowered my head, unable to meet anyone’s eyes. That night, I couldn’t sleep. Ryan’s words replayed in my mind over and over—five fingers, one fist. 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。 The next morning, I arrived early and found Jake already there practicing free throws. Weeks later, we faced the same team again in the semifinals. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $2026-2027学年度第一学期高三期中教学质量监测 英语答案 第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分） 1-5 BAACB 6-10 BCBCA 11-15 CBABA 16-20AABAC 第二部分阅读（共两节，满分50分) 第一节（共15小题，每题2.5分，共37.5分） 21-23DDA 24-27 CDAC 28-31 BCDB 32-35 DCAB 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 36-40 EFGDA 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） 41-45 CBABD 46-50 CABDA 51-55 DBCAC 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 56.aiming 57.held 58.a 59.and 60.were presented 61.larger 62.equally 63.recognition 64.which 65.as 第四部分写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） Dear Mike, Hearing that you are worried about the upcoming "Campus Hidden Talents"event,I'm writing to offer a creative idea:why not host a "Talent Blind Box"exhibition? Instead of a traditional stage performance,students can display their hidden skills through interactive booths or short video clips.This format is highly engaging because it satisfies everyone's curiosity and lowers the psychological threshold for participation.Plus,it allows talents like coding or baking to shine! I believe this fresh approach will be a huge hit.Can't wait to see your brilliant plan! Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） Paragraph 1: The next morning,I arived early and found Jake already there practicing free throws.He didn't mention the game.Neither did I.But something had changed inside me.Ryan's words echoed in my head with every shotfive fingers,one fist.Instead of practicing alone,I walked over and asked Jake to run passing drills together.He looked surprised,then nodded.From that day on,I stopped counting Ryan's praises for Jake or others and started counting my own assists.In every training session,I looked for the open man and cheered when my teammates scored.Slowly, the cold,hard thing in my chest began to melt.I was no longer fighting against Jake,but I was fighting alongside him Paragraph 2: Weeks later,we faced the same team again in the semifinals.This time,the score was tied with ten seconds left.The ball was in my hands again.I saw Jake wide open to my right.But this time,I didn't hesitate.I fired a pass to Jake,who sank the winning shot as the buzzer sounded.The gym erupted.My teammates rushed the court,hugging each other.Ryan caught my eye and gave me a small,knowing nod,quieter than his applause for Jake,but somehow it meant more.I finally understood:a fist is stronger than any single finger.
