Biddulph's three mostly grown-up daughters have influenced his work.When his youngest daughter Poppy started school,he found it a challenge for her.So he began leaving motivational Post-it notes in her packed lunch.He kept up this routine every school day from 2013 until 2020.Those notes,well preserved,developed into small-scale artworks and formed part of his museum exhibition,celebrating parenting as a labour of love.Besides writing,Biddulph is also a musician,which makes sense given the perfectly rhyming lines in his picture books. Book writing and illustration is his second career.After working in media,he published his first children's book Blown Away at 42,and it was an instant success."As soon as I started,I honestly felt like this is what I was meant to do,"he says.Inspired by his artist mother,he made his own books and comics as a child.When creating,he works out ideas in his sketchbook,writes by hand and adjusts rhymes repeatedly.He even tries reading his lines in different accents to test whether they work well. As a national literacy ambassador,when asked what he thinks about AI in the world of publishing, he regards it as "theft".This is precisely why his Draw with Rob videos keep marks and imperfections real-to encourage children to embrace the beauty of imperfection and keep creating.And that is perhaps why children love him so much. 24.What can we learn from Biddulph's words in paragraph 1? A.Drawings can be used to identify fingerprints. B.Drawing serves as a special form of self-expression. C.The uniqueness of art lies in its beautiful appearance. D.The beauty of drawing lies in mastering artistic skills 25.What inspired Rob Biddulph to start his Post-it notes? A.His desire to exhibit his artworks B.His daughter's struggle at school. C.His ambition to become a writer. D.His family's encouragement in his career. 26.What does Biddulph intend to stress in the las paragraph? A.The popularity of imperfect drawings. B.The risk of children's depending on AI. C.The value of children's creative attempts. D.The difficulty in developing children's creativity. 27.Which of the following best describes Biddulph? A.Ambitious and strict. B.Generous and modest. C.Caring and creative. D.Determined and cautious. C A new study reveals that humans and great apes()have shared similar ways of laughing ever since they branched off from the evolutionary tree,reflecting a deep evolutionary connection between species. To explore the origin of human laughter,researchers designed a scientific comparative experiment. They tickled ()13 apes raised under human care including gorillas,orangutans,chimpanzees to collect decades-old recordings,which were then re-examined and carefully compared with the natural laughter of four young children.The result confirmed that human and ape laughs share highly similar 高三英语试卷第4页共10页 CS扫描全能王 可3亿人都在用的扫描APp rhythms and regular time intervals(),strongly indicating a common ancestor."In a way,we are very similar to other great apes because we've been laughing in a similar way for 15 million years,"said Chiara De Gregorio,a primatologist from the University of Warwick and author of the study. Previous studies on laughter evolution mainly focused on animals'facial expressions,while the acoustic features of laughter were long ignored.Unlike great apes,human laughter has evolved to be faster and more complex,varying greatly with different social contexts,ranging from polite chuckles in public to loud laughter among close friends."We are like the masters of laughter,"De Gregorio commented,whose findings were published in Communications Biology. Brittany Florkiewicz,who studies animal communication and was not involved in the research, thought the new findings make sense.She holds that animals'giggles()have evolved to best fit their distinct social lives and stressed the necessity of further exploration.Florkiewicz suggested collecting comparable recordings of other playful animals,including dogs,horses and cats,to deepen related research.According to her,more data can help scientists better figure out the evolution of laughter and "understand what makes us uniquely human,but also what is similar between humans and other animals”. For researchers,though studying laughter's origins seems trivial,it matters a lot for exploring human communication and language development.Since sounds cannot be preserved in fossils, scientists have to trace the evolutionary history of human laughter based on existing biological evidence. 28.What did the researchers do in the new study? A.They studied the social contexts of human laughter. B.They examined the fossil records of ancient humans. C.They analyzed the facial expressions of apes and humans. D.They compared the laughter of apes with that of children. 29.What does the underlined word"trivial"in the last paragraph probably mean? A.Complex. B.Practical. C.Insignificant. D.Invaluable. 30.What does Brittany Florkiewicz suggest for future studies? A.Describing the social lives of great apes. B.Focusing on the facial expressions of animals C.Exploring the fossils to trace laughter's origin. D.Contrasting laughter among a wide range of animals. 31.What is the major finding of the new study on laughter? A.Facial expressions are key to understanding laughter. B.Human laughter varies with different social situations. C.Laughter in humans and apes shows similar acoustic patterns. D.Apes produce more complex laughter than human beings. D Digital screens are now deeply integrated in our lives,with children getting access to them at earlier and earlier ages-but is this increasing screen time actually affecting their health?The science is more mixed than you might expect,with some digital device studies raising concerns and others suggesting 高三英语试卷第5页共10页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描APp there is no real relationship between time in front of a screen and mental or physical problems. In a new paper published in JAMA Network Open,researchers from the University of Edinburgh and Imperial College London analyzed data from a group of 3,786 children in the Growing Up in Scotland research study.They looked at how out-of-school screen use at age 5,10,and 15 related to psychosocial development,covering emotional,behavioral,and social well-being.The researchers accounted for several influencing factors,including sex,race,ethnicity,household income,and cognitive (认知的)test scores.The overall findings are reassuring(令人放心的)，suggesting that how screens are used matters more than the time spent on devices. The research found no significant association between general screen use and developmental difficulties among children aged 5 and 10.For 15-year-olds,higher developmental difficulty scores were only related to overuse of electronic games,not other screen activities.Besides,early heavy screen use that seemed to cause problems at age 10 did not have lasting negative effects by age 15.One unexpected finding was that 15-year-olds spending more than one hour a day on social media had fewer average developmental troubles.Researchers explained that social media may help teenagers strengthen friendships and gain social support,but they reminded readers that this result cannot confirm definite benefits,as socially adaptable teens are more likely to use such platforms actively. The study questions current public health guidelines that simply focus on limiting children's screen time.Experts suggest future research should explore children's specific screen content,usage scenarios ()and accompanying partners,as well as their offline activities.Launched in 2009,the study has certain limitations since digital devices are far more popular nowadays.Even so,it clearly proves that screen time alone will not consistently harm teenagers'psychosocial development.The apparent negative links between screen use and poor growth outcomes will weaken or disappear completely when comprehensive external factors are taken into account. 32.What do paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly tell us? A.Major findings of the new study. B.Limits of the screen-time research C.Advice on kids'screen behaviour. D.Causes of teens'developmental trouble. 33.What can we learn about social media use according to the study? A.Early screen problems can last throughout teenage years. B.Heavy gaming may cause teens'developmental problems. C.More social media use helps teens'development grow better. D.Social competence makes teens more willing to use social media. 34.Why does the author mention current health guidelines? A.To introduce ways to improve teens'offline activities. B.To prove the value of long-term children research C.To stress the necessity of limiting kids'screen use. D.To show the limits of the common screen-time rules 35.What is the best title for the text? A.Digital Devices:More Popular Than Ever. B.Screen Use:More Beneficial Than Harmful. C.Screen Rules:More Important Than Content. D.Screen Time:Less Harmful Than Expected. 高三英语试卷第6页共10页 CS扫描全能王 可3亿人都在用的扫描APp 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。选项中有两项为多余选 项。 Critical thinking refers to the ability to make objective,reasoned judgments based on interpreting, understanding,and applying evidence.Nowadays,large amounts of conflicting information surround us, so these skills matter greatly.Here's how to develop them. Accept diverse viewpoints It's easy to get trapped in your own bubble.Social media algorithms keep exposing us to similar ideas,and we tend to stay around people sharing similar viewpoints.36 Reading diverse news sources and listening curiously to people with different views can help reassess problems from fresh angles. Try to be less reactionary Training yourself not to react without thinking gives you room to think over topics thoroughly.When debating,resist immediate rejection of opposing ideas.37 It broadens your thinking and prevents costly,rushed decisions. Look for the full picture We often see only partial information due to our personal views or hidden agendas of information sources. 38 Carry out independent research and search for overlooked facts and alternative viewpoints. Learn to spot unfair preferences _39 Such preferences are not necessarily bad.For example,a satisfying personal experience may make someone praise a service far more than most other people do.But we still need to watch out for them,for they can change our opinions.Hidden influences of this sort are easy to go unnoticed in daily reading.We can examine word choices,check source materials,look for repeated patterns and consider factors like support and influence. Ask questions Apply this skill in talks,news-reading and self-reflection.Seek background context,spot pattems and require further details.40 You might gain unexpected insights through deeper exploration. A.It pays to figure out why we prefer certain sets of beliefs B.We should value opinions based on one's real-life feelings. C.Keep digging when available materials fail to offer sufficient clues. D.This means treating something with an unbalanced favour or disapproval. E.However,open-mindedness helps escape such limited thinking patterns. F.Taking time to consider unfamiliar thoughts produces better judgments. G.Under such conditions,we ought to make up for missing message pieces. 高三英语试卷第7页共10页 CS扫描全能王 可3亿人都在用的扫描APp 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 For shelter animals,a gentle voice can make a frightening place feel a little more comforting.For over two years,11-year-old Nehemiah Turner has offered that 41:one story at a time.

Busy with endless exam preparations and an upcoming school basketball competition,I thought volunteering would only add extra trouble and boredom to my tight schedule. Most of my classmates rushed to sign up for easy and comfortable positions like library sorting or animal shelter care.However,all these popular choices were fully occupied when I finally got the chance to sign up.The only volunteer task left was delivering meals to elderly residents in the downtown old community.Helplessly,I signed my name,counting down the days to finish the tiring task as soon as possible. On my first volunteering day,I was assigned to deliver packed lunches to seniors living in old apartment buildings.These aging buildings had no elevators at all.Sweating in the hot summer weather, I carried heavy meal boxes and climbed countless stairs up and down.After just a few deliveries,my uniform was completely soaked with sweat. It was then that I got to know Elaine.She opened the door extremely slowly,and I was almost about to leave,assuming no one was home.She was a small,elderly lady with a bent figure,and her simple apartment was filled with various old books,giving off a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.When I handed her the lunch box,she held my hands tightly with hers."I haven't talked to a young person for such a long time,"she said softly.I smiled awkwardly and promised to visit her again the next day. I kept my word.Every day,I climbed the stairs to visit Elaine.Gradually,she opened up to me and shared her life stories:her peaceful childhood,her late husband who was a book lover and kept a collection of precious books,and her only son who worked in a distant city and seldom came back.She once told me that she still kept all her husband's books carefully,as they could remind her of their warm old days.I always listened carefully during my short visits.Unexpectedly,the boring delivery work gradually turned into the most relaxing and warm part of my day. On my final day of volunteer service,Elaine handed me a small package wrapped neatly in old newspaper."Open it at home,"she said gently,wearing a mysterious and warm smile.The package felt firm and flat in my hand,and I could tell it held a square-shaped object with slight thickness. 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。 I unwrapped the package on my arrival home and found a book inside. △ This unexpected gift completely changed my previous attitude towards volunteer work. △ 高三英语试卷第10页共10页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描APp无锡市 2026 年秋学期高三期中考试英语试卷 答案 听力原文 2026.11.04 高三期中考试试卷 英 语 2026.11 注意事项及说明: 1. 试卷共 150 分，考试时间 120 分钟。 2. 答案一律写在答题卡上。考试结束时，上交答题卡。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分 30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 (共5小题; 每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

Besides writing, Biddulph is also a musician, which makes sense given the perfectly rhyming lines in his picture books. Book writing and illustration is his second career. After working in media, he published his first children's book Blown Away at 42, and it was an instant success. "As soon as I started, I honestly felt like this is what I was meant to do," he says. Inspired by his artist mother, he made his own books and comics as a child. When creating, he works out ideas in his sketchbook, writes by hand and adjusts rhymes repeatedly. He even tries reading his lines in different accents to test whether they work well. As a national literacy ambassador, when asked what he thinks about AI in the world of publishing, he regards it as "theft". This is precisely why his Draw with Rob videos keep marks and imperfections real—to encourage children to embrace the beauty of imperfection and keep creating. And that is perhaps why children love him so much. 24. What can we learn from Biddulph's words in paragraph 1? A. Drawings can be used to identify fingerprints. B. Drawing serves as a special form of self-expression. C. The uniqueness of art lies in its beautiful appearance. D. The beauty of drawing lies in mastering artistic skills. 25. What inspired Rob Biddulph to start his Post-it notes? A. His desire to exhibit his artworks. B. His daughter's struggle at school. C. His ambition to become a writer. D. His family's encouragement in his career. 26. What does Biddulph intend to stress in the las paragraph? A. The popularity of imperfect drawings. B. The risk of children's depending on AI C. The value of children's creative attempts. D. The difficulty in developing children's creativity. 27. Which of the following best describes Biddulph? A. Ambitious and strict. B. Generous and modest. C. Caring and creative. D. Determined and cautious. C A new study reveals that humans and great apes (类人猿) have shared similar ways of laughing ever since they branched off from the evolutionary tree, reflecting a deep evolutionary connection between species. To explore the origin of human laughter, researchers designed a scientific comparative experiment. They tickled (挠痒) 13 apes raised under human care including gorillas, orangutans, chimpanzees to collect decades-old recordings, which were then re-examined and carefully compared with the natural laughter of four young children. The result confirmed that human and ape laughs share highly similar rhythms and regular time intervals (间隔), strongly indicating a common ancestor. "In a way, we are very similar to other great apes because we've been laughing in a similar way for 15 million years," said Chiara De Gregorio, a primatologist from the University of Warwick and author of the study. Previous studies on laughter evolution mainly focused on animals' facial expressions, while the acoustic (声音的) features of laughter were long ignored. Unlike great apes, human laughter has evolved to be faster and more complex, varying greatly with different social contexts, ranging from polite chuckles in public to loud laughter among close friends. "We are like the masters of laughter," De Gregorio commented, whose findings were published in Communications Biology. Brittany Florkiewicz, who studies animal communication and was not involved in the research, thought the new findings make sense. She holds that animals' giggles (咯咯笑声) have evolved to best fit their distinct social lives and stressed the necessity of further exploration. Florkiewicz suggested collecting comparable recordings of other playful animals, including dogs, horses and cats, to deepen related research. According to her, more data can help scientists better figure out the evolution of laughter and "understand what makes us uniquely human, but also what is similar between humans and other animals". For researchers, though studying laughter's origins seems trivial, it matters a lot for exploring human communication and language development. Since sounds cannot be preserved in fossils, scientists have to trace the evolutionary history of human laughter based on existing biological evidence. 28. What did the researchers do in the new study? A. They studied the social contexts of human laughter. B. They examined the fossil records of ancient humans. C. They analyzed the facial expressions of apes and humans. D. They compared the laughter of apes with that of children. 29. What does the underlined word "trivial" in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Complex. B. Practical. C. Insignificant. D. Invaluable. 30. What does Brittany Florkiewicz suggest for future studies? A. Describing the social lives of great apes B. Focusing on the facial expressions of animals. C. Exploring the fossils to trace laughter's origin. D. Contrasting laughter among a wide range of animals. 31. What is the major finding of the new study on laughter? A. Facial expressions are key to understanding laughter. B. Human laughter varies with different social situations. C. Laughter in humans and apes shows similar acoustic patterns. D. Apes produce more complex laughter than human beings. D Digital screens are now deeply integrated in our lives, with children getting access to them at earlier and earlier ages-but is this increasing screen time actually affecting their health? The science is more mixed than you might expect, with some digital device studies raising concerns and others suggesting there is no real relationship between time in front of a screen and mental or physical problems. In a new paper published in JAMA Network Open, researchers from the University of Edinburgh and Imperial College London analyzed data from a group of 3,786 children in the Growing Up in Scotland research study. They looked at how out-of-school screen use at age 5, 10, and 15 related to psychosocial development, covering emotional, behavioral, and social well-being. The researchers accounted for several influencing factors, including sex, race, ethnicity, household income, and cognitive (认知的) test scores. The overall findings are reassuring (令人放心的), suggesting that how screens are used matters more than the time spent on devices. The research found no significant association between general screen use and developmental difficulties among children aged 5 and 10. For 15-year-olds, higher developmental difficulty scores were only related to overuse of electronic games, not other screen activities. Besides, early heavy screen use that seemed to cause problems at age 10 did not have lasting negative effects by age 15. One unexpected finding was that 15-year-olds spending more than one hour a day on social media had fewer average developmental troubles. Researchers explained that social media may help teenagers strengthen friendships and gain social support, but they reminded readers that this result cannot confirm definite benefits, as socially adaptable teens are more likely to use such platforms actively. The study questions current public health guidelines that simply focus on limiting children's screentime. Experts suggest future research should explore children's specific screen content, usage scenarios(场景) and accompanying partners, as well as their offline activities. Launched in 2009, the study has certain limitations since digital devices are far more popular nowadays. Even so, it clearly proves that screen time alone will not consistently harm teenagers' psychosocial development. The apparent negative links between screen use and poor growth outcomes will weaken or disappear completely when comprehensive external factors are taken into account. 32. What do paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly tell us? A. Major findings of the new study. B. Limits of the screen-time research. C. Advice on kids' screen behaviour. D. Causes of teens' developmental trouble. 33. What can we learn about social media use according to the study? A. Early screen problems can last throughout teenage years. B. Heavy gaming may cause teens' developmental problems. C. More social media use helps teens' development grow better. D. Social competence makes teens more willing to use social media. 34. Why does the author mention current health guidelines? A. To introduce ways to improve teens' offline activities. B. To prove the value of long-term children research. C. To stress the necessity of limiting kids' screen use. D. To show the limits of the common screen-time rules. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Digital Devices: More Popular Than Ever. B. Screen Use: More Beneficial Than Harmful. C. Screen Rules: More Important Than Content. D. Screen Time: Less Harmful Than Expected. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Critical thinking refers to the ability to make objective, reasoned judgments based on interpreting, understanding, and applying evidence. Nowadays, large amounts of conflicting information surround us, so these skills matter greatly. Here's how to develop them. Accept diverse viewpoints It's easy to get trapped in your own bubble. Social media algorithms keep exposing us to similar ideas, and we tend to stay around people sharing similar viewpoints. 36 Reading diverse news sources and listening curiously to people with different views can help reassess problems from fresh angles. Try to be less reactionary Training yourself not to react without thinking gives you room to think over topics thoroughly. When debating, resist immediate rejection of opposing ideas. 37 It broadens your thinking and prevents costly, rushed decisions. Look for the full picture We often see only partial information due to our personal views or hidden agendas of information sources. 38 Carry out independent research and search for overlooked facts and alternative viewpoints Learn to spot unfair preferences 39 Such preferences are not necessarily bad. For example, a satisfying personal experience may make someone praise a service far more than most other people do. But we still need to watch out for them, for they can change our opinions. Hidden influences of this sort are easy to go unnoticed in daily reading. We can examine word choices, check source materials, look for repeated patterns and consider factors like support and influence Ask questions Apply this skill in talks, news-reading and self-reflection. Seek background context, spot patterns and require further details. 40 You might gain unexpected insights through deeper exploration. A. It pays to figure out why we prefer certain sets of beliefs. B. We should value opinions based on one's real-life feelings. C. Keep digging when available materials fail to offer sufficient clues. D. This means treating something with an unbalanced favour or disapproval. E. However, open-mindedness helps escape such limited thinking patterns. F. Taking time to consider unfamiliar thoughts produces better judgments. G. Under such conditions, we ought to make up for missing message pieces. 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 For shelter animals, a gentle voice can make a frightening place feel a little more comforting.

In early days, fans 56 (craft) from pheasant feathers, and they were used primarily by the imperial family, 57 symbols of power and status, rather than for cooling. However, modern craftsmanship has reinvented this traditional item. Can you imagine this fan being woven (编织) with bamboo threads? 58 (surprising), there is such a fan. It is the Gong fan, the peach-shaped fan made from bamboo in Zigong. In 2008, 59 (it) craft was listed as China's national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产). The Gong fan consists of countless bamboo threads, each thinner than a human hair. The selected bamboo, 60 is prized for its toughness, is wrapped in silk and sent for processing. With custom-made knives, craftsmen choose the most evenly 61 (color) bamboo sections and cut them into very thin threads. Finished fans will be framed, handled and decorated with silk strings. Gong Juewu, 62 (create) of the Gong fan, was a local coal porter. He split bamboo into hair-thin threads, and then wove delicate fan faces, 63 (make) his handmade works locally famous. His son Gong Yuzhang remained committed to this craftsmanship. Yet, he improved the craft to create more delicate patterns. Gong Qian is the fifth-generation inheritor (继承人) of the craft. “If inheritance is the root of the Gong fan, then innovation is its branches and 64 (leaf) — expanding the possibilities for this ancient craft, bringing it out from behind a museum's glass 65 into the hands of a wider audience,” she says. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分 40 分） 第一节（满分 15 分） 你校英语报“Voice”栏目正在征稿，请同学们对良好同学关系中的真诚（Sincerity）、包容（Tolerance）、沟通（Communication）这三要素按重要性进行排序，并阐述理由。请你写一篇短文向该栏目投稿。 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。 Ranking Good Relationship Essentials __________________________________________▲______________________________________ __________________________________________▲______________________________________ __________________________________________▲______________________________________ __________________________________________▲______________________________________ 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。 A poster posted on the school bulletin board announced a compulsory activity: all students were required to complete twenty hours of community volunteer work within a week. I let out a silent sigh. Busy with endless exam preparations and an upcoming school basketball competition, I thought volunteering would only add extra trouble and boredom to my tight schedule. Most of my classmates rushed to sign up for easy and comfortable positions like library sorting or animal shelter care. However, all these popular choices were fully occupied when I finally got the chance to sign up. The only volunteer task left was delivering meals to elderly residents in the downtown old community. Helplessly, I signed my name, counting down the days to finish the tiring task as soon as possible On my first volunteering day, I was assigned to deliver packed lunches to seniors living in old apartment buildings. These aging buildings had no elevators at all. Sweating in the hot summer weather, I carried heavy meal boxes and climbed countless stairs up and down. After just a few deliveries, my uniform was completely soaked with sweat. It was then that I got to know Elaine. She opened the door extremely slowly, and I was almost about to leave, assuming no one was home. She was a small, elderly lady with a bent figure, and her simple apartment was filled with various old books, giving off a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. When I handed her the lunch box, she held my hands tightly with hers. "I haven't talked to a young person for such along time," she said softly. I smiled awkwardly and promised to visit her again the next day. I kept my word. Every day, I climbed the stairs to visit Elaine. Gradually, she opened up to me and shared her life stories: her peaceful childhood, her late husband who was a book lover and kept a collection of precious books, and her only son who worked in a distant city and seldom came back. She once told me that she still kept all her husband's books carefully, as they could remind her of their warm old days. I always listened carefully during my short visits. Unexpectedly, the boring delivery work gradually turned into the most relaxing and warm part of my day. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华 QQ:771515126 On my final day of volunteer service, Elaine handed me a small package wrapped neatly in old newspaper. "Open it at home," she said gently, wearing a mysterious and warm smile. The package felt firm and flat in my hand, and I could tell it held a square-shaped object with slight thickness. 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 I unwrapped the package on my arrival home and found a book inside. _______________________ __________________________________________▲______________________________________ __________________________________________▲______________________________________ This unexpected gift completely changed my previous attitude towards volunteer work. _______ __________________________________________▲______________________________________ __________________________________________▲______________________________________ 高三期中考试试卷 英语参考答案 第一部分听力 (共两节，满分30分) 1-5 CBBCA 6-10 ABBCB 11-15ACCAC 16-20ABCCA 第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题: 每小题2.5分，满分375分) 21-23 ABC 24-27 BBCC 28-31DCDC 32-35 ADDD 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 36-40 EFGDC 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 DDCBA 46-50 DABCB 51-55 BCACD 第二节 (共15小题: 每小题1.5分，满分15分) 56. were crafted 57.as 58.

Communication serves as the bridge connecting hearts, for most misunderstandings arise from a lack of exchange. Sincerity lays the foundation of friendship, without which no trust can be gained. Tolerance also matters, since everyone has shortcomings and accepting them makes getting along easier. In short, three qualities are essential, but clear priorities help us build warmer and healthier relationships with classmates. (80 words) 第二节 读后续写(满分25分) I unwrapped the package on my arrival home and found a book inside. It was exactly the collection Elaine's late husband had treasured for years, with faint traces of time on its yellowed pages. A tiny note was attached, saying "Companion warms lonely days." When I stared at the book, scenes of our daily chats flashed back. All my previous complaints about tiring stair-climbing and tight schedules vanished instantly. Holding the book gently, I could feel her sincere love behind the gift. Tears welled up in my eyes. (75 words) 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华 QQ:771515126 This unexpected gift completely changed my previous attitude towards volunteer work. I used to treat community service as a compulsory burden interrupting my tight study schedule and basketball training. But then I realized volunteering was never a simple task of checking required service hours. It lay in sincere communication and warm companionship for the lonely elderly. After the volunteer hours ended, I still visited Elaine regularly, chatting with her and helping with housework. I also shared my experience with my classmates, attracting them to join me.

On Friday morning, the second day of the tour, we went to the city wildlife zoo to learn about the living habits of protected animals. In the afternoon, we walked along the riverbank and finished required field observation records. There happened to be a public environmental lecture nearby, so we stayed and listened. It was delivered by a professional biologist by the river. Today, Saturday, is the final day of our tour. We spent the whole morning at the city science museum, learning practical knowledge about ecological protection. We have just finished lunch, and all scheduled study and visiting activities are completed. We will go back to school soon. Thanks to all the teachers and parent volunteers for your support.
