Norman B.Leventhal Park(Post Office Square),Boston This 1.7-acre green space in Boston's financial district stands on the site of a former parking garage.Its lawns,flower beds and fountain came from a 1983 design competition,and the park opened in 1992.It is a lunchtime favorite with office workers and is treated as a model of smart urban planning. Louise Nevelson Plaza,New York This small plaza in lower Manhattan was the city's first public space named after a woman artist.It displays several of Louise Nevelson's large abstract sculpture groups,including Shadows and Flags.With trees and greenery around them,the works turn a busy street corner into an open- air gallery. Pershing Square,Los Angeles Established in 1866,this downtown square has watched Los Angeles grow for more than 150 years.Covering a full block,it hosts concerts and weekend markets.A major redesign,chosen through a design competition,is meant to keep it a popular meeting place. 21.What helps block the noise from the traffic around Greenacre Park? A.The rushing waterfall. B.The nice views. C.The multi-level seats. D.The well-kept plants. 22.What is special about Louise Nevelson Plaza? A.It enjoys a long history B.It draws a huge number of visitors. C.It honors a woman artist. D.It is popular for weekend markets. 23.What do Norman B.Leventhal Park and Pershing Square have in common? A.They are of equal area. B.They replaced above-ground garages. C.They lie in downtown area D.They came out of a design competition B Helga Stentzel,a Siberian-born artist known for "household surrealism",has won widespread recognition for her creative clothesline animal series.Unlike many artists who depend on new or costly materials,she centers her works on reusing worn-out daily clothes to deliver a clear and touching environmental message.A folded shirt becomes a resting horse;a pair of old trousers turns into a sleeping dog. 高三英语第4页（共12页） 扫描全能王创建 Instead of throwing away old T-shirts,faded trousers and other unwanted garments,Stentzel cleverly arranges,hangs and folds them on simple clotheslines.With careful adjustments,these discarded pieces are transformed into lifelike animals.Nothing is cut,sewn or glucd-the effect depends entirely on how the cloth is turned and where the light falls.Some photos are taken in real natural settings,while others go through gentle digital processing to create soft,pleasing scenes.In this way,she turns waste that would otherwise end up in landfills into attractive works of art. Her eco-friendly creations quickly drew huge attention on social media platforms.She once teamed up with an eco-friendly laundry brand in Ecuador to design a series of poster images. 圜 Beyond simple commercial promotion,these posters served as public reminders:they called on viewers to value resource recycling and pay closer attention to threatened wildlife.The images 地 traveled far beyond advertising space.Shared thousands of times within weeks,they reached audiences who had never heard of the brand. Stentzel's gift for discovery grew from her childhood in Siberia.As a little girl,she spent 剧 hours observing carpets,trees and all kinds of small objects around her,searching for interesting shapes hidden in ordinary things.For her,artistic creation does not require expensive supplies.It starts with a patient eye and a willingness to rethink"rubbish".By mixing art with environmental care,she encourages people to choose a low-carbon lifestyle,reuse old belongings and cut down on waste.Her creative practice proves that everyone can make a difference to our planet with a K little imagination. 敬 24.What forms the basis of Stentzel's clothesline art? A.Costly materials B.Photos of animals C.Used everyday clothing. D.Tailored costumes. 25.What does paragraph 2 focus on about Stentzel? A.Exhibition of her finished works. B.Ways to reduce household waste. C.Practical value of her old clothing D.Process of creating her unique art forms. 26.What is the main purpose of the poster project? A.To improve the brand's market. B.To draw public attention to art. C.To deliver environmental ideas. D.To develop a new advertising style 27.What belief lies behind Stentzel's creative practice? A.Art creation brings financial gains. B.Early professional art training matters. C.Artists should work with wildlife groups. D.Observation outweighs expensive supplies. 高三英语第5页（共12页） 扫描全能王创建 c At the end of each day,one familiar complaint is heard:there simply isn't enough time. Look closer,however,and a different truth appears.What we lack is not time but a stretch of uninterrupted focus.We do one thing while thinking of another,and often spend longer deciding what to do first than doing any of it. This is what chaos does to us:it affects our sense of time.Starting a task in uncertainty,we set aside far more time than it actually requires,and the extra hours are consumed by hesitation and restarts.The time truly spent doing the work is far less than we imagine,while the time spent getting ready far exceeds what is necessary.Remove those fragments of preparation and switching,and most tasks take only a third of the time. Chaos is often mistaken for having too much to do,yet quantity is rarely the cause.One can juggle a hundred things and remain orderly,or have three and feel completely out of control.The difference lies in knowing where each task sits within the larger system.When everything feels equally urgent,you can no longer tell what matters more-and that equal urgency,not the workload,is the true source of chaos. People who stay orderly behave differently.They never try to handle everything at once, knowing that attention can be directed to one thing a time.Nor do they let the outside world break their rhythm.Messages and requests can wait;they do respond,but on their own timeline.Their sense of control over time comes not from moving faster,but from refusing to be interrupted. So when time seems short,resist the urge to find more of it.Check whether your inner order has broken down;ten minutes spent writing a priority list may bring your day back under control. Chaos wastes time;order stretches it.You don't need to run faster-only to make your inner order clear,and time opens up. 28.Why do many people feel time is not enough according to the text? A.They have too many tasks to finish. B.They hardly keep continuous focus. C.They fail to finish work as planned. D.They are slow at preparing for tasks. 29.What leads to low efficiency in our work from paragraph 2? A.Unnecessary delays. B.Unrealistic daily plans. C.Unclear aims of tasks. D.Unreasonable workload. 30.What does the underlined word"juggle"in paragraph 3 mean? A.Abandon. B.Select. C.Balance. D.Separate 31.What does the author most probably advise readers to do? A.Speed up to get more done B.Prioritize and do one at a time C.Make the best of every minute. D.Break big tasks into small ones. 高三英语第6页（共12页） 扫描全能王创建 D Halfway through an important meeting,a phone rings and the recording stops.Many people record talks hoping to catch every key idea,only to find gaps afterwards.Traditional recorders are easily cut off by incoming calls and messages.Dedao,a Chinese online knowledge platform, believes it has a better answer:a recorder called GetSeed,no bigger than a credit card,can address the problem that has long troubled people who need reliable recordings. At 3.1 millimeters thick,GetSeed slips into a wallet or attaches magnetically to the back of a phone.The card features two built-in microphones,and one full charge supports up to 20 hours of continuous recording.There is no menu to search and no setting to adjust-a single button starts and stops everything.Nothing lights up during a meeting,and nothing buzzes in a pocket. Its real power,though,lies elsewhere.Behind GetSeed works "Dedao Brain",an AI system that takes over once recordings are sent to the app.It clears away background noise,tells different speakers apart and turns speech into clean text.Instead of handing users a messy transcript,it sorts the content into key points,task lists and short summaries-something they can scan in seconds rather than replay for an hour. The feature Dedao values most,however,is "Sprouting".As its name suggests,the tool lets ideas grow.It goes over a user's scattered voice notes,matches them against Dedao's library of books and courses,and suggests related reading,fresh research and even opposing views.What begins as a passing thought may gradually take shape as something structured. Not everyone is convinced.Some observers doubt whether a card can really outperform the apps already on people's phones.Dedao's reply is that hardware built for one narrow purpose still has a future.For professionals drowning in information,GetSeed acts less as a recorder than as a second memory,keeping valuable conversations from simply disappearing. 32.What problem of existing recorders does GetSeed intend to solve? A.Recording process is often interrupted. B.They cost too much for common users. C.Recordings can't be turned into text directly. D.They lack enough storage for long recordings. 33.What advantage of GetSeed is stressed in paragraph 2? A.It doesn't need charging. B.It is easy to operate. C.It sends silent reminders. D.It starts automatically. 高三英语第7页（共12页） 扫描全能王创建 34.How does "Sprouting"help its uscrs? A.By delcting unwanted rccordings. B.By producing high-quality audio. C.By relating notes to wider resources. D.By rewriting each entry as a headline. 35.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.Recorders:Smaller and Smarter B.Dedao Brain:A Force Behind AI C.Note-taking:A Skill Worth Keeping D.GetSeed:Drawing Wisdom from Conversations 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分） 根据短文内容，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 笨 选项。答案写在答题卡上。 Talent Is Practice Made Invisible We often use talent to explain excellence.When someone speaks beautifully,moves & precisely,writes with ease,or makes difficult decisions unusually fast,we may assume that success comes naturally.The word closes the distance between what we see and what we do not understand.Yet this explanation can stop us from asking how it is developed. Natural differences do matter.People begin with different bodies,sensitivities,interests,and strengths.36 Even so,practice can help you build upon your inborn advantages and bring them to fuller play. 哦 What looks like talent often develops through years of practice.At the beginning of almost any skill,perception is limited.37 An experienced musician hears timing,pressure, balance,and tone.Judgment works the same way..Experts can appear intuitive(有直觉的).Their judgment is often fast because they have encountered enough variations to recognize patterns before a beginner has even identified what matters.38 But repetition alone is not enough.If you keep making the same mistake without noticing it, you become more efficient at making the mistake.39 This helps explain why two people can practice for the same number of years and make different amounts of progress. 40 Practice shapes what you do after you begin.What others later call a gift may partly reflect years of careful practice that they have never seen. 高三英语第8页（共12页） 扫描全能王创建 A.Practice does not erase those differences. B.Talent decides how far a person can finally go. C.Time spent is not automatically progress made. D.Most people stop practicing before talent starts to matter. E.Talent may shape where you start,but not where you end. F.What feels like intuition is simply this rapid pattern recognition. G.A beginner may hear only the tune,missing minor changes in rhythm 圜 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题2分，满分30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人空白处的最佳选项。 却 Recently,my parents came to stay with us at our new home in Los Angeles for a week.

Every day at school,I saw classmates wearing those exact shoes.They showed confidence instantly becoming the center of attention.Anxious to fit in with my peers,I began asking my parents for extra pocket money under various small excuses-a little extra for lunch,school supplies,or snacks-carefully saving every single dollar in a hidden jar,hoping to buy the shoes on my own. Both of my parents worked long,exhausting shifts at a local manufacturing factory,but they always paid attention to the little details in my life.Therefore,my parents noticed my quiet longing and the subtle change in my behavior.When our school announced a project for 高三英语第11页（共12页） 扫描全能王创建 Financial Literacy Week,they saw a chance to guide me.Instead of telling me no,they took me along to work and helped me build my class project around those very shoes-researching what it actually cost to tur raw materials into a finished product. For three days,I became a researcher.I dug through supply chain studies,looked into factory labor costs,and broke down the expenses:raw leather,rubber,assembly ()packaging,and shipping as well as invisible costs like product design,research and development.When I added all the manufacturing numbers together,the actual cost of making the sneakers came out to just forty-eight dollars-barely twenty percent of the price tag on the store shelf.The rest was nothing but marketing,branding,and hype(). Staring at the data,my strong urge to purchase the sneakers faded gradually.I realized the algorithm had created false desire in me.In fact,I did not need the shoes at all. 些 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。 On the day of the project presentation,I showed my detailed research results.
