GOOD TIMING If time is running 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. Detrash 'Midnight Flamingo' From f375,detrash.com PLASTIC PROGRESS Up to 500,000 tonnes of textile microplastics enter the oceans every year,much 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 bought separately and installed at home.The company claims 97%effectiveness.It needs emptying every six weeks,with no replacement filters required. 高三英语试题第3页（共12页） Regen Microplastic Filter From E199,matter.industries ON TRACK Screenless fitness trackers are the new trend in wearable workout gear(健身装备).The first new Fitbit since 2023 enters that market,which competitors like Whoop and Oura have muscled into in recent years.The Fitbit Air is considerably cheaper than those options,and integrates with Google's updated Health app.The tracker covers basic metrics like heart rate, blood oxygen and motion data during activity and sleep.All data is processed in the app,with an AI coach available for an additional $7.99 per month. Google Fitbit Air f84.99,store.google.com 21.What do we know about Detrash watches? A.They are designed to warn people of natural disasters. B.They are made partly from recycled materials. C.All of their styles cost more than f375. D.Buyers can get only one style at a time. 22.What is special about the Regen Microplastic Filter? A.It must be fixed and bought separately. B.It won the Moonshot Prize for low cost. C.It has to be cleaned out every six weeks. D.It can stop all textile microplastics entering the oceans. 23.What is the advantage of Fitbit Air compared with its competitors? A.It costs less and has a health app. B.It has an AI coach free of charge. C.It can work out all data from wearer's motions. D.It can record users'daily diet and sleep information. B Last week,I emerged from the Tube in central London for a day that would once have been unthinkable.First,I bought a morning coffee.Then I went out for a box of sushi.A few hours later,I dropped into a mini-supermarket to buy some tea bags.Each time,I had zero contact with a human.Instead,I ordered and paid for everything using one of the touchscreens that now pepper our life. Looking back,I find it hard to remember the last time I bought anything entirely from a person.The business logic is obvious:screens reduce staff costs,shorten waiting lines,and encourage more purchases through appealing food photos and non-judgmental ordering. 高三英语试题第4页（共12页） I believe that customers often prefer the ease and speed of touchscreens and that not all human interactions are enjoyable.Yet,I still prefer a world with more time-consuming people than machines.It's not just because machines often fail,but because finding a human can be exciting.That's why I was surprised during a recent trip to Brazil,where I found so many staff in a local supermarket-at checkouts,in aisles,upstairs-that I took photos to show people back home.Two men even helped me decide which umbrella suited me best. That novel experience heartened me so much that I wasn't surprised to learn some European retailers are boosting such human interaction.The Dutch chain Jumbo introduced a slower "chat checkout"for customers to talk with cashiers and expanded it to about 200 stores,especially in places where loneliness was a big problem. Earlier this year,an expert noted software engineers felt lonely when they turned to AI instead of their co-workers.I find this easy to imagine.Technology can lead us down many paths,but that does not mean all should be taken. 24.Why does the author say his/her experience in central London for a day is unthinkable? A.Shopping in a mini-supermarket is very convenient. B.Ordering and paying for everything take only a few hours. C.There is no need waiting in line and making judgmental ordering. D.There are no human interactions purchasing only through touchscreens. 25.Which word can best describe the author's shopping experience in Brazil? A.Annoying.B.Disappointing.C.Unforgettable.D.Amazing. 26.Why did Jumbo introduce "chat checkout"? A.To expand its business. B.To simplify the checkout process. C.To help people to fight loneliness. D.To encourage human interaction skills. 27.What message does the author deliver in the text? A.Convenience comes at a cost. B.The best is yet to come. C.All roads lead to Rome. D.Every cloud has a silver lining. C In the digital era,a growing number of teenagers are deeply addicted to short-video platforms,which has caused widespread social concern and heated discussion.Many people insist that short videos have only negative impacts on teenagers'physical and mental growth and thus should be strictly banned for adolescent users.However,every coin has two sides.It is unreasonable to completely reject short videos,and we should view and use them in a rational(理性的)way. 高三英语试题第5页（共12页） Admittedly,uncontrolled indulgence in short videos brings numerous hidden problems to teenagers.Most short videos feature fragmented（碎片化)，fast-paced and highly entertaining content,which easily traps teenagers in passive information reception.Gradually, they get used to instant sensory stimulation,losing the ability of in-depth thinking and long- term concentration,which greatly interrupts their academic learning.Besides,excessive screen time not only strains teenagers'eyesight but also occupies their precious time for study,physical exercise and social interaction.Worse still,unregulated vulgar,violent and misleading content on some platforms may distort their values and mislead their behavior. Nevertheless,short videos also possess unique positive value for teenagers'growth and education.A large number of official institutions,scholars and professional creators release high-quality content online,covering popular science knowledge,traditional culture inheritance,practical skill teaching and inspiring youth stories.These vivid,visual and interesting videos can effectively broaden teenagers'horizons,supplement limited classroom knowledge and enrich their spare-time life. In fact,the key lies in proper guidance rather than a total ban.Schools and families should cultivate teenagers'digital literacy to help them distinguish good from bad information.Meanwhile,teenagers need to build self-discipline,arrange watching time reasonably,and treat short videos as a tool for learning and relaxation.Only in this way can such digital tools better serve their healthy growth. 28.What negative effect does uncontrolled short-video watching have on teenagers? A.It prevents them taking part in heated discussions. B.It weakens their long-term concentration ability. C.It directly causes serious and permanent physical problems. D.It brings them instant sensory stimulation and entertainment. 29.What does the underlined word "supplement"in paragraph 3 mean? A.Obtain. B.Supply. C.Delete. D.Expand. 30.What does the text mainly talk about? A.Short videos should be strictly banned among teenagers. B.Teenagers'addiction to short videos has caused social concern. C.Proper guidance is vital for teenagers'rational use of short videos. D.Schools shoulder the main responsibility for teenagers'addiction to short videos. 31.What is the author's attitude towards teenagers'using short videos? A.Supportive. B.Objective. C.Opposed. D.Ignorant. 高三英语试题第6页（共12页） D Aboard China's Tiangong space station,scientists carry out valuable experiments on space seed breeding and green vegetable cultivation,a project dating back to the first lettuce (test aboard Tiangong-2 in 2016.Growing fresh vegetables in microgravity is far harder than on Earth.Weightlessness changes plants'growth directions,while strong space radiation and poor fluid movement make water and gas management tricky.Water floats instead of flowing down,easily causing root rot. Researchers select seeds of three lettuce varieties.After exposure to space radiation and microgravity,seeds may develop improved traits.The lettuce grows in the Wentian lab module's plant system,with red-blue-white LEDs providing a 14-hour light/8-hour dark cycle for photosynthesis(光合作用).Without natural soil,“seed pillows”hold clay substance and slow-release fertilizer.The whole lettuce growth cycle lasts roughly 30 days. Astronauts work as space gardeners.They monitor temperature,humidity and CO2 levels,adjust water supply and record growth stages daily.They spend around 20 minutes every day checking the plants.Once harvested,astronauts eat part of the fresh greens.Other plant samples and newly produced seeds are frozen and sent back to Earth for genetic analysis. Space vegetables offer more than nutrition.Green plants brighten the closed cabin and ease astronauts'mental stress.Data collected helps develop bioregenerative life support technology,cutting dependence on supplies launched from Earth.It lays a solid foundation for future long-term missions,including lunar exploration.Space farming tests not only new plant varieties but also human ability to live beyond our planet.Every leaf of space-grown vegetables marks a small but important step toward deep-space exploration. Looking ahead,space plant breeding and cultivation will witness several major breakthroughs.Scientists plan to expand crop varieties,adding wheat,carrots and medicinal plants to the current 14 tested species.New aeroponic(气雾培植的)devices will improve water and energy efficiency,while smart sensors and AI control will reduce astronauts'daily maintenance work from 20 minutes to much less. 32.What makes growing vegetables in space more difficult than on Earth? A.Lack of enough water and gas. B.Lack of natural soil and sunlight C.Weightlessness and strong space radiation. D.Too high temperature and CO,levels in the lab. 高三英语试题第7页（共12页） 33.What can we learn about the lettuce experiment on Tiangong-2? A.Astronauts spend 20 minutes every dny studying the growth stages. B.The lettuee's whole growth cycle is about one month. C.Natural soil mixed with fertilizer is put into use. D.The lettuce needs 22 hours of light every day. 34.What is one benefit of space vegetables besides providing nutrition? A.They help reduce astronauts'mental pressure. B.They help break dependence on Earth supplies. C.They can strengthen human ability to live longer. D.They can produce oxygen to replace air supplies. 35.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.There will be 14 tested species in future. B.Space farming will increase new ecnomic benefits. C.AI control will take the place of astronauts'daily work. D.New techndogy will bring major breakthroughs in space planting. 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能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。 3 Ways to Make Better Use of Your Time You only get 24 hours in a day,but there are plenty of ways to make better use of your time.Here are three of them! 1.Slow down Imagine driving through a beautiful forest,and before you know it you've driven right past it all.It's like you aren't there at all.36.Summer fades into autumn.As the leaves drift down around you,you take in a deep breath of fresh autumn air.You are able to notice the sights,sounds,and smells around you.37. Slowing down brings meaning to how you spend your time,whether you're walking through a forest,spending time with a loved one,or even working on a report. 2.Do less Apple is one of the most successful companies in the world for one big reason:they make only four main product lines.38.When you do less,you focus your time on fewer things,and so you have much more of yourself to give to everything you do. 39,and constantly ask yourself if you're doing too much.Doing less helps sharpen your focus because you can invest so much more of yourself into the things you want to do. 高三英语试题第8页（共12页） 3.Focus on what matters Take the time to figure out what you truly care about,and then invest your time in it. This seems like simple advice,yet few people actually follow it.What is the only way to make sure you get the most out of your time?40,and work backward to decide on your actions. A.Start with what matters most to you B.Review your ongoing commitments C.Focus on the tasks you find enjoyable D.You get a deep sense of being fully present E.A similar strategy can also work for your life F.You bring more energy and drive to your work G.Now picture yourself walking through that same forest instead 第三部分语言知识运用（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人空白 处的最佳选项。 A group of graduates got together to visit their old university professor.Conversation soon turned into complaints about 41 in work and life.

I'd say it's different, but not necessarily Better or worse. Digital reading is convenient. However, studies suggest we tend to remember information Better from print. So my advice, use both, but for serious reading, stick with print. Interesting. what would you recommend to someone who wants to develop reading habit? Start small. Don't begin with a five hundred page novel, pick up a collection of short stories or a book of essays. And most importantly, don't force yourself to finish a book you don't enjoy. Reading should be a pleasure, not a duty. 听下面的录音，回答第十七至第二十小题。现在你有20秒钟的时间阅读这四个小题。Researchers have found a useful way to stop seats from stealing your picnic food. According to a study by the university of exeter in the U. K. Simply staring at the birds can prevent food theft. Researchers Carried out two tests. They laid out a bag of fries on the ground and recorded how long IT took goals to get the food without human eye contact. Then they repeated the test. But this time our researchers stared at the goals as they approached IT turned out the birds took an extra twenty one seconds to move toward the food. Only twenty five percent attempted to grab the food. Three quarters either stood still watching or flow away. Lead researcher metal and go MaaS said goals got a bad name for stealing food. Yet such cases were actually rare. When they did steal food, goals often rushed suddenly from behind. While people were unaware those goals are thought to be aggressive and ready to seize food from humans, most goals stayed away.
