Many young people prefer popular culture and pay little attention to old traditions. Some traditional skills are fading slowly, as few people keep practising them. To bridge tradition and contemporary life, we can take practical steps. We may read cultural stories and join school activities like paper-cutting or Chinese painting. We can also choose traditional foods on special days, helping tradition fit naturally into our daily life. It falls on us teenagers to keep our culture alive. Let’s make fine traditional culture part of our life and pass on this valuable heritage. Every small effort counts. 第二节（满分25分） 参考范文： The truck stopped and Matthew and Lila hurried out of it. Seeing Jenna’s desperate situation beside the cliff, they shouted comforting words to calm her down. Matthew quickly found a safe route upward, warning Jenna not to make any risky moves in case more stones fell. Lila kept waving her hands and shouting to guide Jenna step by step away from the dangerous edge. With the help of Matthew’s steady support and her hiking pole, Jenna carefully moved down the slope. Fortunately, the falling stones gradually stopped, and she finally got safe shelter beside the road. Jenna remembered Leo was waiting for her and told Matthew about it. Then Matthew decided to help her find Leo and inform him of her situation. It was not long before Matthew found Leo. After he told Leo what had happened to Jenna, Leo decided to make his way to the spot. Despite his injured ankle, Leo walked slowly but firmly, worried sick about his cousin. He sighed with great relief the moment he saw Jenna was safe and thanked Matthew and Lila repeatedly. Jenna held her worn scarf tightly, grateful for the timely rescue. Though she failed to take perfect sunset photos with her camera, she gained a precious life lesson. This unexpected experience taught her that safety always comes first, and kindness from strangers is the most beautiful scenery in the scenic valley. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三英语 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

My hands and whole body felt icy when I climbed out of my old-style chuck wagon (流动炊事车). A strong northern wind made it almost impossible for me to strike a match and light the lantern. The cowboys were still asleep but would soon wake up. As the cook, my duty was to rise ahead of everyone else and start our heavy camp stove to prepare enough eggs and bacon for the whole group. “Each ingredient has a purpose,” Mama once told me. “It’s like a team that works together. It’s about finding the right balance. Mistakes may happen at first, but that’s how you learn.” Growing up on my family’s small farm, I heard those words repeatedly, and they gradually shaped my thinking. When I was fifteen, I saw local farmers bring delicious homemade food for workers after hard farm labor; watching tired men light up with big smiles over the tasty dishes gave me the idea of working as a traveling cook for cowboys. Although my first attempt at baking biscuits at a high-altitude camp ended in failure, with hard flat bread disappointing all the workers, I kept adjusting my recipe instead of giving up, which slowly improved my cooking skills. Later, after my father’s death, I got a well-paid government job with retirement benefits. However, the stable position could not remove my inner longing for the cowboy life. Encouraged by Mom, I gathered my courage to follow my real dream. Now I travel across Texas and Oklahoma, preparing hot meals for cowboys on cold canyon mornings. When a rough-looking cowboy stepped down from his horse, walked toward me and put his arm around my neck, he said, “You sure do make a feller feel at home.” This was the highest praise I had ever received. Through hot, satisfying meals, I helped create a sense of warmth and belonging for the tired workers out on the wild land. 24. How was the author’s working environment in the canyon? A. Plain. B. Tough. C. Quiet. D. Crowded. 25. What helped the author decide to become a chuck wagon cook? A. His passion for cooking. B. His painful family loss. C. His early cooking failures. D. His growing-up experiences. 26. What kind of person is the author? A. Honest and brilliant. B. Modest and cautious. C. Generous and easy-going. D. Determined and hard-working. 27. How would the author react to the cowboys’ praise? A. He would feel proud. B. He would become confused. C. He would gain overconfidence. D. He would reconsider his future. C California’s remote Death Valley has kept a puzzling natural mystery for nearly a century: Stones known as “sailing stones” move across the dry Racetrack Playa lake bed, leaving long winding tracks, though no human has witnessed their movement directly. Similar effects have been reported elsewhere, but Death Valley is the best-known site. These mysterious stones, which vary from 15 to 45 centimeters wide, do not move regularly; they only shift every two to three years, sometimes making sharp 90-degree turns. Different stones may travel in completely opposite directions, and their tracks can stretch for dozens or even hundreds of feet across the hard ground. Several theories have been proposed. One involved localized magnetic (磁的) effects, but it was rejected because many stones contain little iron and would gradually gather in one place, which they do not. Another suggested strong winds might push the rocks after the lake bed becomes slippery. The answer may lie in the combined effects of wind, temperature, and water. Racetrack Playa is not always dry; water collects after rain or when snow melts. Researcher Brian Dunning said that when water is present and the temperature falls below freezing, a thin sheet of ice forms. “As it moves across the lake’s surface, aided by the momentum of the surrounding ice, the solid ice effortlessly pushes the rock forward across the slippery, muddy lake bed,” Brian Dunning explained. NASA researcher Ralph Lorenz tested this idea. He put a small rock in a container, added water, and froze it. Then he placed the ice-bound rock in a tray of water with sand at the bottom. By gently blowing on it, he made it move and scrape a trail in the sand. Such explanations were hard to prove because no one had seen the stones move. Jim Norris, an engineer on the team, said, “I know there are people who like the mystery of it and will probably be somewhat disappointed that we’ve solved it. It’s a fascinating process, and in many ways I hope that there’s more to be discovered. Never say never.” 28. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The different shapes of the stones. B. The long tracks on the dry lake bed. C. The features of the stones’ movement. D. The various theories of the phenomenon. 29. What are most likely to cause the stones to move? A. Local magnetic effects. B. People’s constant visits. C. Combined natural conditions. D. Researchers’ filed experiments. 30. What is Jim Norris’ attitude to studying the stones? A. Cautious. B. Supportive. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful. 31. Which of the following may be the best title for the text? A. The landscape in Death Valley B. The mystery of the sailing stones C. The secrets of the stones in nature D. The research about magical stones D Scientists have created a creative DNA-powered computer that performs calculations with countless tiny DNA molecules (分子) in a small drop of salt water, and this advanced device works in a different way from traditional electronic computers that continuously consume power to complete fixed computing processes. Instead of forcing calculations step by step with constant energy input, the system follows basic natural thermodynamic (热力学的) rules, making its most stable energy state exactly correspond to the correct computing result of each task. “The clever part is that the binding (结合) process is like a race: The DNA molecules compete with each other to select a winner, which succeeds in binding to the scaffold (支架); all of the pushing and competing processes information and carries out a computation. Eventually, the system settles down into its energetically preferred state which encodes the answer to the computation,” explained Damien Woods, a computer science professor and study co-author from Ireland. Named the Scaffolded DNA Computer (SDC), this innovative system was published in a top international journal in September 2026 and has successfully finished over 700 stable and reliable computations, including simple math operations and complex 100-bit calculations. Basic tasks like 10+3 take merely 30 seconds, while tough large-scale computations may last up to 14 hours. Different from previous one-time DNA computing devices, the SDC achieves outstanding repeated utilization, which allows the device to function dozens of times and even work again 1.5 years later after simple water refilling. “Molecular computers like this are not trying to replace electronic ones, but they could be used in biological environments, smart materials and archival DNA data storage,” shared Abeer Eshra, another co-author of the scientific research. With natural error correction functions and high energy efficiency, this pioneering technology opens a new promising path for low-power molecular computing and long-term DNA data storage, offering valuable new possibilities for future technological innovation in biological and intelligent fields. 32. Which is an advantage of the computer compared with traditional computers? A. Faster computing speed. B. Simpler binding process. C. Lower energy consumption. D. More convenient operation. 33. What is the binding process like according to Damien Woods? A. Competitive. B. Temporary. C. Irregular. D. Inefficient. 34. What does the underlined word “utilization” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Usage. B. Change. C. Limitation. D. Intervention. 35. What aspect of the computer is discussed in the last paragraph? A. Its testing methods. B. Its operating steps. C. Its further improvement. D. Its possible applications. 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。 In an age of instant messages and short digital notes, handwritten letters may seem outdated. Many people believe handwriting cannot match the speed of online communication. 36 The slow process of writing forces the writer to pause and select words with greater care. Different from fast digital typing that allows casual wording, letter-writing demands focus and sincerity, turning a simple conversation into a deliberate act of emotional investment. A handwritten letter holds traces (痕迹) of its creator. The slight tilt of handwriting, smudged ink and uneven spacing all become quiet marks of a person’s mood and physical state at the moment of writing. 37 Yet a letter preserves the original trace. Every stroke makes the communication personal and irreplaceable. 38 When you post a letter, you accept a delay. You give up the expectation of immediate reply. The receiver reads it later, in a different moment and mood. This gap turns communication into a patient act of respect. It teaches both parties to cherish connection rather than take constant interaction for granted. Some researchers point out that handwritten letters strengthen long-distance bonds. For family members and friends living far apart, these physical letters serve as lasting emotional support. Unlike online chats, which can feel cold and impersonal, handwritten letters carry the writer’s warmth. 39 Handwritten writing is not meant to replace digital tools. 40 Sometimes, emotional bonds grow when we slow down. In a world obsessed with efficiency, letter-writing preserves the close essence of human communication. A. Digital tools still hold value in our daily life. B. A letter may arrive after the moment has passed. C. However, handwritten letters carry a unique human quality. D. In this way, the letters become links between distant hearts. E. Letters create a special time bridge between sender and receiver. F. As we know, digital texts can be edited without leaving any sign. G. It reminds us that human connection does not always demand speed. 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。 This week, when Debbi was driving at the Waterfront in Cape Town, her car hit a brick.

Halfway up the trail, Leo twisted his ankle badly on a slippery stone, so he asked Jenna to keep moving ahead. He would stay where he was and wait for her to return after she shot some photos. As Jenna wandered along the narrow mountain path alone, she thought excitedly about the amazing views she hoped to record with her camera. Suddenly, a deep rumble (隆隆声) came from the upper slope (斜坡). “Is it thunder?” she wondered. But looking upward, she realized it was not thunder at all, but loose rocks starting to slide down the hillside! Small stones were rolling rapidly toward the path. Jenna’s mind went blank. She grabbed her lightweight hiking pole and tried to dash to a safer spot. A shower of dirt and small stones crashed down, and to her relief, she narrowly escaped the first wave. However, countless stones continued to slide down the slope, blocking the path ahead and cutting off her way back. She jumped away again, only to find herself trapped beside a steep cliff (悬崖). Jenna struggled to stay calm. She waved and shouted, hoping that some passing hikers might hear her. Yet she dared not make any sudden moves, because loose stones on the edge could slip under her feet. She knew that if another mass of rocks came down, there would be nowhere for her to seek shelter. At that moment, Matthew and his daughter Lila were driving along the mountain road below the valley. They had not noticed anything while stopping to admire a scenic overlook. Minutes later, they heard distant crashing noises mixed with desperate shouts. As they looked up toward the mountain, they spotted a lonely figure on the mountain path. Jenna caught sight of a truck on the winding road. She waved her bright red scarf wildly, while loose stones were still rolling down, merely a few dozen yards away. 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 truck stopped and Matthew and Lila hurried out of it. It was not long before Matthew found Leo. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
