Google Fitbit Air f84.99,store.google.com GOOD TIMING If time is rupning out to meaningfully slow down climate change,here's a watch to both monitor the countdown and also feel slightly better about it.Detrash is a British watchmaking brand using recycled ocean'plastics,steel and fashion industry offcuts to create its timepieces.The watches-from dress to dive styles-come in at under f500.Most lines are limited editions,so if you see one you like, time is probably running out. 高三英语第3页（共12页） Detrash 'Midnight Flamingo' From￡375，detrash.com PLASTIC PROGRESS Up to 500,000 tons of textile microplastics enter the oceans every year,most ot which originate from washing machines.Now,effective microplastic filters are being introduced,including a 2025 Moonshot Prize winner.Developed by Bristol-based Matter,the Regen filter can be built into machines or 1 bought separately and installed at home.The company claims 97%effectiveness in preventing microplastics making their way to the ocean.It needs emptying every six weeks,with no replacement filters required.

B Faizan Zaki,a 13-year-old from Texas,was awarded the champion of the Scripps National Spelling Bee(SNSB)on May 29.The event,held near Washington,D.C.and broadcast live on TV,was especially meaningful as it marked a century of the competition. The SNSB,which began in 1926,is one of America's most famous educational contests.It's open to students who haven't turned 16 or finished 8th grade.This year,243 young spellers,aged 8 to 14,reached the national competition.After several intense rounds,only three finalists remained:Faizan,14-year-old Sarvadnya Kadam,and 11-year-old Sarv Dharavane.Both opponents misspelled their words,giving Faizan a chance to win.But he also failed on "commelina,"bringing his opponents back into the competition. Ultimately,Faizan correctly spelled"eclaircissement"-meaning"a clearing up of something difficult to understand".Overjoyed,he pumped his fists and collapsed onto the stage. The road to that moment began four years ago,when his first national appearance ended early. 高三英语第4页（共12页） Watching older contestants handle difficult words calmly inspired him.He later shared,"I realizo it's not just spelling-it's a test of willpower."He even created personalized word banks using programming software In his next attempt,Faizan entered the semifinals,but was tripped up by "xylophone",mistakenly confusing"ph"with"f.This setback taught him something new:"Every letter carries a cultural context- only memorizing is far less effective than understanding etymology ()."Thereafter,he spent 2 hours daily analyzing word origins. This year,Faizan returned more confident and calm.Known for his fun personality,he even made a joke when the host told finalists to "take a deep breath."Faizan replied."That wen't help at all!"making the audience laugh.When the final word was announced,he paused for two seconds to steady his breath, and then spelled it perfectly,earning thunderous applause. Faizan now plans to save half the prize for university-he hopes to become a neurosurgeon-and donate the rest to charity.His four-year journey has made him a symbol of persistence,inspiring teenagers across the country. 24.Why did the 2026 SNSB carry extra meaning? A.It changed age limits. B.It attracted special participants. C.It was broadcast internationally. D.It celebrated its 100th anniversary. 25.What lesson did the failures teach him? A.A good memory is not enough. B.Software programming is helpful. C.Long words are hard to remember. D.Pronunciation matters more than letters. 26.What kind of person can Faizan be described as? A.Serious and strict. B.Confident and reserved. C.Intelligent and determined. D.Humorous and demanding. 27.What does the story illustrate? A.Luck matters more. B.Persistence pays off. C.Talent beats practice. D.Speed brings victory. Human well-being depends on the ability to navigate the social world.Such social skill depends on 高三英语第5页（共12页） reliable feedback:acts of kindness may be met with gratitude;on other occasions,a misstep brings about a friend's disapproval and recognition that an apology is needed.These moments are crucial for deepening trust and personal growth.Social life is rarely smooth,because people are not perfectly in tune with one another.Yet it is precisely through such social conflict that relationships deepen and moral understanding develops. Sycophancy (is the opposite of this conflict.Many users experience this when AI enthusiastically agrees with their ideas or writing.In academic contexts,the consequence may be investing more time in an average idea.But as Al systems are increasingly consulted for guidance about relationships and conflict,affirmation (of this kind may shape how people interpret-their own actions and their perspectives of others,and in turn,how they respond to conflict and whether they take responsibility when things go wrong. Now imagine a world where people routinely consult a sycophantic AI about interpersonal conflict or moral dilemmas.They are repeatedly assured that they are right,that others are wrong,and that no apology is needed.Over time,this patterned sycophancy may reshape expectations about what feedback should feel like.Individuals may begin to anticipate the same constant affirmation from real human beings.The gradual effect is a reduction in tolerance for the very social conflict through which accountability, perspective-taking and growth occur. An AI companion that is always"on your side"may keep users engaged and dependent.But it cannot teach them how to handle real relationships-how to disagree respectfully,repair damaged trust,or accent being wrong.Although Al could be improved to promote long-term personal development,suck goals conflict with systems built to maximize user engagement.Challenging users or presenting uncomfortable truths is a sure way to drive them away.This tension raises fundamental ethical questions:Should we prioritize immediate emotional comfort or long-term social health?Who gets to decide?Addressing these challenges will require interdisciplinary cooperation among computer scientists,social scientists,ethicists, and policy makers. 28.What role does social conflict play in relationships according to the author? A.It generates positive feedback B.It causes open disapproval or conflict C.It guarantees harmonious relationships D.It enhances social bonds and moral growth. 29.What's th:main idea of the Paragraph 3? A.The judgment about one's actions. B.The consequences of Sycophantic AI. C.The tolerance for interpersonal conflict. D.The Al's ability to resolve real life conflict 高三英语第6页（共12页） 30.What prevents AI systems from being improved to challenge users? A.Lack of technical capacity. B.Unawareness of its potential harm. C.Conflict with commercial interests D..Absence of interdisciplinary cooperation. 31.What is the author's attitude toward current AI systems? A.Strictly neutral. B.Strongly opposed. C.Mildly supportive. D.Cautiously concerned. D A new study out of King's College London is giving people more of a reason than ever to plan a museum date.It was conducted by the researchers from the university,who got half of 100 participants aged 18 to 40 to view pieces by world-famous artists Manet,Van Gogh,and Gauguin in The Courtauld Gallery in London.The control group,on the other hand,looked at copies of the same artworks in a non- gallery environment. All of the participants'heart rate variability and skin temperatures were measured with sensors throughout the 20-minute art-viewing sessions,and saliva()samples were also taken before and after viewing. The researchers found that cortisol levels-a key stress hormone (in the human body-fell by an average of 22%in the gallery group,compared to just 8%in the control group.The participants viewing original art in the gallery also had more active heart activity,which shows that art affects the body. Another key finding was that pro-inflammatory (proteins IL-6 and TNF-alpha also dropped by 30%and 28%respectively for those viewing art in galleries,with no observable changes for the control group. "Stress hormones and inflammatory markers like IL-6 and TNF-alpha are related to many health problems,from heart disease to anxiety and oepression,"explained Dr.Tony Woods,the study's senior author."The fact that viewing original art lowered these markers suggests that cultural experiences may play a real role in protecting both mind and body." Other previous studies have linked regular gallery visits to long-term well-being,but this study is the first to"capture real-time physiological benefits",which shows an immediate positive impact."This study proves for the first time that art really is good for you.What's particularly exciting is that the findings show these benefits are pervasive-they can be experienced by anyone,"said Jenny Waldman,the director of Art Fund."We want to encourage everyone to make time to visit their local museum or gallery,and discover just how good art can make you fcel." 32.What does the new study focus on? 高三英语第7页（共12页） A.Differences between artistic styles. B.Participants'preferences for artists. C.Participants'physical reactions to art. D.Effects of art on diverse environments 33 What is a finding of the study about viewing original art? A.H mainly improves creative thinking. B.It changes participants'health indicators. C.It demands a certain art appreciation level. D.It has the greatest impact on mental health. 34.What does the underlined word"pervasive"in the last paragraph mean? A.Universal.B.Predictable.C.Surprising.D.Continuous. 35 Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A.Senrors Reveal Visitors'Secrets B.London Leads World Gallery Tours C.Cupying Masterpieces Lowers Stress D.Museum Trips Bring Immi.duate Benefits 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 It used to be simple:if you were stuck on homework,you went to a tutor or looked through a textbook. Today,many students admit their first response is to open short-video apps.36 And here's the catch:while short-form video makes information accessible,are studehts actually learning or just scrolling？ Students aren't choosing short videos to study by accident;it fits the way their brains are wired in today's world.Studies suggest the average attention span has dropped to around 8-12 seconds.Quick videos match that rhythm.Instead of sitting through a 45-minute lecture,students can learn one concept or definition in a minute.Short videos also turn spare time,like waiting for the bus or queuing in a line,into learning opportunities.37 However,for every upside,there's a hidden drawback that students often feel but don't always recognize.Short videos sometimes oversimplify-students may remember a"fun fact"but struggle to apply it in problem-solving.Constant exposure to fast content trains the brain to expect stimulation,making complex reading or full lectures harder to sit through.38Students can end up overwhelmed, recalling bits of many topics but mastering none. Here's where it gets tricky.Short-video platforms aren't built for studying,they're built for endless scrolling.That means students who go in looking for a"quick explainer"often end up an hour deep into 高三英语第8页（共12页） unrelated content.30Students describe feeling "busy"while scrolling through study content, but later realize they didn't remember much. 40The reality is,it's both.Short-form content is a tool,not a replacement.Students who use it as a supplement to traditional learning gain the best of both worlds:quick tips and deeper practice. Those who depend only on it often face burnout,divided attention,or surface-level understanding. A.So,is short-form video helping or hurting? B.This makes learning fit easily into daily life. C.Many creators make money by posting educational short clips. D.To them such videos don't just entertain but feel like learning. E Short videos make students unable to finish homework within fixed time. F.Besides,too many short videos,brief as they are,can cause information overload. O.This unclear line between entertainment and education makes it harder to manage time 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，从所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Willard Wigan was born with dyslexia,a learning disorder affecting the ability to read,write and spell.

Making the school team was my big dream for Grade 10-the result of every early practice and every tired morning.But there I sat.With three minutes left and a twenty-point lead,Coach Thompson still did not look at the bench.I looked down at my new No.12 shirt.It was still clean and dry.My shoes were almost new.The crowd sounded far away,like noise behind a wall. On the court,the first five players moved together well.Jake made another three-point shot,and the stands got louder.While my teammates smiled,I thought about last Tuesday's practice:the missed easy shot and the pass that hit the floor.I knew I was not as good a shooter as Jake,but I could pass and I could guard.I had spent months learning my steps near the basket.But Coach trusted the players who took the lead,and I felt invisible.When the game ended,I forced a smile and clapped with the team.No one saw that I never touched the ball. The locker room was full of happy noise.Teammates threw water into the air and laughed loudly.I quietly put my towel and belongings into my bag,hoping no one would see me leave.Just then,Coach Thompson walked over with the game ball,dirty and wet with sweat.He gave it to Jake,who had scored thirty points.Jake held the ball high and smiled for the cameras.I turned away and bit my lip. 高三英语第11页（共12页) "Hey,wait,"a voice called.It was Jake.He threw the ball to me."Take this to the room where we keep the balls,will you?" 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。 I held the ball and felt its warmth. Coach looked at me and said,"You'll start against Lincoln High.". 高三英语第12页（共12页） 河南省实验中学2026-2027学年上期10月测评 英语答案 听力 1-5 BCBCC 6-10 BACAA 11-15 CBABC 16-20 BAABC 阅读理解 A篇：ABCB篇：DACB C篇：DBCD D篇：CBAD 7选5：DBFGA 完形填空： 41-45:CADBB 46-50:ABCDA 51-55:CCBAD 语篇填空： 56.an 57.are hung 58.as 59.searching 60.various/varied 61.which 62.have been developing/have developed 63.preservation 64.frequently 65.It 写作一： Hi guys!Have you noticed the hot trend "Becoming Chinese"lately?From my perspective, this trend is absolutely inspiring.It is not simply copying some living habits,but recognition of Chinese wisdom of keeping healthy. There are typical healthy habits worth trying.Initially,many Chinese stick to drinking warm water instead of cold drinks,which helps our body stay in good condition.Additionally,we prefer balanced diets with plenty of vegetables and grains rather than too much high-fat food.Moreover, some gentle exercise like tai chi is favored,enabling people to relieve stress and strengthen their bodies.We also attach importance to going to bed early,for sufficient sleep matters a lot to our health. It's amazing that these simple habits bring great benefits.If you give them a try,you will find a peaceful and healthy way of life.Share your comments below! 写作二： I held the ball and felt its warmth.My fingers traced the worn leather,and for a moment,I felt a strange intimacy with it-this ball had witnessed Jake's glory,but it had also witnessed my loneliness.Instead of heading to the equipment room,I walked back to the empty court.Under the dim lights,I dribbled,pivoted,and shot.Again and again.Each swish of the net was a quiet promise to myself.I stayed until my jersey was soaked and my arms ached.That night,I decided I would no longer wait for permission-I would make myself impossible to ignore. Coach looked at me and said,"You'll start against Lincoln High.".During practice,I didn't hang back.I called for the ball,set hard screens,and dove for loose balls.Coach's eyes lingered on me a second longer than usual.When he finally pulled me aside and said,"Number 12,you're in the rotation for Friday,"my heart pounded harder than any buzzer-beater.I knew this was my one shot.Not for fame,but to prove that the boy who carried the ball to the equipment room could also carry the team when it mattered. 听力文本 L.【答案】B【解析】【原文】 M:Excuse me.I was given these jeans as a present but they don't fit.Is it okay if I change them?

It follows the lead of Australia,which is introducing a ban on social media platforms including Facebook,TikTok and YouTube for under-16s,and Norway where the prime minister, Jonas Gahr Store,also said he had put in place a strict minimum age limit of 15 on social media, raising it from 13. Caroline Stage pointed out that platforms don't care about kids'wellbeing,so we must leave this"digital trap"for real communities.She noted that 60%of teen boys don't visit friends in their free time,and 94%of seventh graders already have social media accounts before age 13.
