Previous printmaking experience. B With the development of society, our lifestyles and travel habits have changed greatly as well. From community-centered living to global connectivity, advancements in technology and transportation have redefined how we interact and move. When I tried camper van (露营车) life for the first time, I went all in. For three weeks, my husband and I drove a smart camper van from northern New Jersey to Los Angeles as we wound our way along the length of Route 66. My hope was that by renting a good camper van, we would save money on purchased meals and hotel rooms and also feel deeply connected to each place we visited. On our first night in the Walmart parking lot in Bloomington, Illinois, I lay in the van, wondering if we could handle this adventure. But after the first successful sleepover, everything seemed fine. We would wake up each morning for a quick bathroom run and even shower at some of the surprisingly luxurious vehicle parks we visited. Then we would cook breakfast on our camp stove at the back of the van and hit the road by 8:30 or 9:00 a.m. After a day covering roughly 130 miles and experiencing the historic sites, local museums, and fantastic roadside attractions along Route 66, we made sure we could arrive at our nightly destination by 4:30 p.m. By the time we dropped off the van near Los Angeles International Airport in late November, I felt like I was saying goodbye to a new dear friend on the last day of summer camp. Even a few days of traveling in a camper van can give you a whole new perspective on yourself and the world around you. I loved the challenge of condensing our lives into approximately 75 square feet and finding creative ways to live comfortably but efficiently. The morning coffee? It’s right there. Your clothes for the day? Just reach behind you. Additionally, camper van life gets you out there, interacting with others and connecting with the world. 24. What did the author think of a camper van journey at first? A. Informative and inspiring B. Productive but challenging C. Adventurous but uncomfortable D. Cost-efficient and fulfilling 25. What was the author’s morning life like on the journey? A. Frightening B. Relaxing C. Messy D. Routine 26. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Local museums were the author’s favorite. B. The author felt attached to the camper van. C. The author recalled her sweet camp days. D. The couple ended their journey in advance. 27. What is a reason that the author loves traveling in a camper van? A. You are stably given visual feasts. B. Everything you need is within reach. C. The connection with nature is instant. D. You’ll keep updating your knowledge. C Clothing has allowed us to explore the far reaches of our world, keeping us relatively comfortable and safe. But even the most technical garments — self-heating vests or built-in ice packs — can only perform to a certain extent. Most can either warm or cool the body — but not both — or may require a bulky battery pack. Scientists from Nankai University took a step towards smart clothing that rapidly adjusts body temperature using only solar power. The team fashioned a flexible material that captures sunlight to store and transfer heat. During the hot day, the material removes excess heat from the skin and stores excess energy. At night, when it’s cooler, it gives out energy to heat the skin to comfortable levels. The material can also rapidly adjust to surrounding temperatures by automatically switching between cooling and heating modes. In a test, the researchers placed the material on a volunteer’s hand and varied the surrounding temperature. They monitored the volunteer’s skin temperature with an infrared (红外线的) camera. The material attained comfortable temperatures within seconds of surrounding temperature changes. Rather than designing clothing made entirely from the material, the team envisions it can be strategically woven into everyday fashion or spacesuits — with larger pieces in the main part of the body, and smaller ones tailored to the shoulders, upper arms, and the fronts of the thighs. Even without covering the entire body, the pieces’ excellent performance in storing and transferring heat can keep wearers comfortable all day — as long as there are a few hours of sunshine. To Dr. Huang Xingyi at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, the material has far more uses beyond clothing. It could extend textiles or buildings to keep temperatures in check without using air conditioning. With extreme temperatures taking more lives than hurricanes, floods, or tornadoes combined, these materials aren’t just for brave explorers — they may revolutionize the way we experience and adapt to our environment. 28. How does the author introduce the topic of this text? A. By describing the history of clothing design. B. By explaining the appeal of modern clothing. C. By presenting current limitations of clothing. D. By listing popular clothing brands and features. 29. What do we know about the material in paragraph 2? A. It draws energy from water. B. It relies on complex chemical reactions. C. It improves performance at night. D. It helps adjust body temperature dynamically. 30. What is the main advantage of the material shown in paragraph 3? A. Its physical flexibility. B. Its rapid response. C. Its lightweight design. D. Its stability under water. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Solar-powered Material for Temperature Control. B. Smart Clothing to Replace Traditional Space Suits. C. A Solution to the Battery Problem in Clothing. D. Solar Energy’s Wide Use in Modern Buildings. D Picture this: You’re at a fancy restaurant, and the waiter asks how your meal is. Even if the steak is as tough as old boots, chances are you would smile and say it is delicious. That’s courtesy bias in action. In psychology, it’s the tendency for people to give answers or express opinions that they believe should be viewed favorably by others. The origin of courtesy bias can be traced back to our evolutionary need to maintain social harmony. After all, our ancestors probably wouldn’t have survived long if they had gone around offending everyone in sight. However, courtesy bias isn’t just about being polite. It’s a complex interaction of cognitive (认知的) processes, cultural norms, and social expectations. It can look very different depending on where you are in the world. In some cultures, direct disagreement is seen as rude, while in others, it’s perfectly acceptable to speak your mind. We’re social creatures and the thought of causing offense can be terrifying. We have the ingrained desire to present ourselves in the best possible light to be liked and accepted by others. When we’re faced with a situation where expressing our true thoughts might lead to conflict or discomfort, our brains often choose the path of least resistance: agreeing and being polite. Courtesy bias doesn’t just affect our day-to-day interactions — it can have a significant impact on psychological research. Imagine you’re participating in a study, and the researcher asks you some pretty personal questions. Even if you’re assured that your name will not be revealed, you’ll still feel the urge to give the “right” answers. This tendency can seriously interfere with survey responses and data collection. Participants might downplay negative experiences, exaggerate positive ones, or simply give the answers they think the researchers want to hear. The potential for distorted (失真的) research results due to courtesy bias is a real concern in the psychological community. After all, if we can’t trust the data we’re collecting, how can we draw accurate conclusions? Courtesy bias should be dealt with seriously. 32. Why does the author mention commenting on a meal in paragraph 1? A. To clarify a concept. B. To present a trend. C. To introduce the background. D. To share a personal experience. 33. What can be learned about courtesy bias from paragraph 2? A. It’s one reason for cultural differences. B. It’s primarily driven by a fear of authority. C. It’s largely influenced by the social context. D. It’s a complex problem in communication. 34. What does the underlined word “ingrained” in paragraph 3 mean? A. short-lived B. deep-rooted C. self-centered D. new-found 35. What might the author continue talking about? A. Examples of courtesy bias. B. Dark sides of courtesy bias. C. Strategies to tackle courtesy bias. D. Possible sources of courtesy bias. 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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When the long hot days of summer arrive, we can escape the heat by going indoors and drinking cold drinks, while our plants cannot. ____36____ Here are four tips on how to take care of your garden during these record-breaking heat waves. ____37____ Instead of watering during the hottest parts of the day when water is likely to evaporate (蒸发), change your schedule to water in the evening or during the early morning. If you live in a dry area, you can set up sustainable watering systems, like a rainwater harvester and drip irrigation. Create shade. When it is really hot, plants need extra shade to reduce stress. You can increase shade by planting your garden in an area near trees and bushes. Of course, that won't help a vegetable garden planted in rows away from trees. ____38____ If you have potted plants, moving them under a shade net is also a good option. Use suitable plants. Another way to keep your garden safe from the sun takes some pre-planning. Generally speaking, native plants are much more likely to survive drought and extreme temperatures. ____39____ Using ground cover plants also requires far less water than a grass lawn. But if you do have a lawn, leave the grass clippings after you cut the grass. Plant some wildflowers. Dropping wildflower seeds on any unused part of your garden will help bees, butterflies, and insects survive the heat. Plants like buttercups and daisies are a good source of food for them. ____40____ After all, sharing your garden with nature is the most right thing to do. A. Change your watering schedule. B. Healthy plants require the right amount of sunlight. C. Meanwhile, set up a bird bath for birds to cool off in. D. Water plants only once a week to avoid overwatering. E. So, choosing native plants will make things much easier for you. F. But you can still help your plants survive the heat by using a shade net. G. That's why you have to help keep your garden cool when the temperatures rise. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 “Would you say you are more of a scientist or an artist?” I frequently ____41____ this question as I was preparing my doctoral program, often after I told my classmates that I ____42____ writing poetry.

The delicate patterns of flowers, birds and mythical creatures that her grandmother created with a pair of scissors and a sheet of red paper seemed like magic. However, as her grandmother grew older, her hands began to shake, and she could no longer hold the scissors steadily. The ancient craft, passed down for three generations in her family, was at risk of being lost. Determined to preserve this intangible cultural heritage, Liu Jia decided to learn paper-cutting from her grandmother. At first, it was much harder than she expected. Her scissors slipped constantly, and the patterns she cut were clumsy and uneven. Her grandmother encouraged her patiently: “Paper-cutting is not just about skill — it’s about patience and love for our culture.” As Liu Jia practiced day after day, her skills improved. She started sharing her works on social media, hoping to attract more young people’s attention to this traditional art. To her surprise, her videos went viral, and she received hundreds of messages from teenagers who wanted to learn paper-cutting. Some even asked if she could hold offline workshops. Just as Liu Jia was planning to organize her first workshop, she faced a problem. Her school announced a crucial art competition with a theme of “Youth and Traditional Culture.” The deadline was only two weeks away, and she had to prepare a masterpiece for the competition. Meanwhile, the number of people signing up for the workshop kept growing, and she didn’t want to disappoint them. Liu Jia was caught in a dilemma. She spent her days practicing for the competition and her nights replying to messages from interested participants. Soon, she felt exhausted and overwhelmed. One evening, when she was about to quit one of the two tasks, her grandmother brought her a cup of tea and sat down beside her. 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。 Grandmother gently stroked Liu Jia’s hair and shared her own story of learning paper-cutting. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Inspired by her grandmother’s words, Liu Jia came up with a creative solution. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026-2027学年第一学期适应性练习 高三英语 (满分：150分 练习时间：120分钟) 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Why is the man upset?

From community-centered living to global connectivity, advancements in technology and transportation have redefined how we interact and move. When I tried camper van (露营车) life for the first time, I went all in. For three weeks, my husband and I drove a smart camper van from northern New Jersey to Los Angeles as we wound our way along the length of Route 66. My hope was that by renting a good camper van, we would save money on purchased meals and hotel rooms and also feel deeply connected to each place we visited. On our first night in the Walmart parking lot in Bloomington, Illinois, I lay in the van, wondering if we could handle this adventure. But after the first successful sleepover, everything seemed fine. We would wake up each morning for a quick bathroom run and even shower at some of the surprisingly luxurious vehicle parks we visited. Then we would cook breakfast on our camp stove at the back of the van and hit the road by 8:30 or 9:00 a.m. After a day covering roughly 130 miles and experiencing the historic sites, local museums, and fantastic roadside attractions along Route 66, we made sure we could arrive at our nightly destination by 4:30 p.m. By the time we dropped off the van near Los Angeles International Airport in late November, I felt like I was saying goodbye to a new dear friend on the last day of summer camp. Even a few days of traveling in a camper van can give you a whole new perspective on yourself and the world around you. I loved the challenge of condensing our lives into approximately 75 square feet and finding creative ways to live comfortably but efficiently. The morning coffee? It’s right there. Your clothes for the day? Just reach behind you. Additionally, camper van life gets you out there, interacting with others and connecting with the world. 24. What did the author think of a camper van journey at first? A. Informative and inspiring B. Productive but challenging C. Adventurous but uncomfortable D. Cost-efficient and fulfilling 25. What was the author’s morning life like on the journey? A. Frightening B. Relaxing C. Messy D. Routine 26. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Local museums were the author’s favorite. B. The author felt attached to the camper van. C. The author recalled her sweet camp days. D. The couple ended their journey in advance. 27. What is a reason that the author loves traveling in a camper van? A. You are stably given visual feasts. B. Everything you need is within reach. C. The connection with nature is instant. D. You’ll keep updating your knowledge. 【答案】24. D 25. D 26. B 27. B 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了作者和丈夫沿66号公路开启露营车之旅，这段旅程虽有考验，却省钱充实。作者十分留恋露营车，并喜爱这种精简便捷、贴近外界的旅行方式。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“My hope was that by renting a good camper van, we would save money on purchased meals and hotel rooms and also feel deeply connected to each place we visited.(我希望租一辆不错的露营车，这样可以省下吃饭和住酒店的开销，还能和每一处到访的地方产生深厚联结)”可知，作者一开始认为露营车旅行省钱又充实。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“We would wake up each morning for a quick bathroom run and even shower at some of the surprisingly luxurious vehicle parks we visited. Then we would cook breakfast on our camp stove at the back of the van and hit the road by 8:30 or 9:00 a.m. (我们每天早上起来快速洗漱，还能在条件意外豪华的停车场洗澡，之后在车尾用露营炉做早餐，早上八点半或九点出发上路)”可知，每天早上都是一套固定流程，是常规的日常。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“By the time we dropped off the van near Los Angeles International Airport in late November, I felt like I was saying goodbye to a new dear friend on the last day of summer camp.(十一月底我们在洛杉矶国际机场附近归还车子时，我就像在夏令营最后一天和一位新挚友道别一样)”可知，作者对这辆露营车产生了不舍之情。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“I loved the challenge of condensing our lives into approximately 75 square feet and finding creative ways to live comfortably but efficiently. The morning coffee? It’s right there. Your clothes for the day? Just reach behind you.(我喜欢把生活压缩在大约75平方英尺的空间里，想办法舒适高效生活的这种挑战。晨间咖啡就在手边，当天要穿的衣服伸手就能拿到)”可知，作者喜欢开房车旅行的一个原因是所需物品触手可及。 C Clothing has allowed us to explore the far reaches of our world, keeping us relatively comfortable and safe. But even the most technical garments — self-heating vests or built-in ice packs — can only perform to a certain extent. Most can either warm or cool the body — but not both — or may require a bulky battery pack. Scientists from Nankai University took a step towards smart clothing that rapidly adjusts body temperature using only solar power. The team fashioned a flexible material that captures sunlight to store and transfer heat. During the hot day, the material removes excess heat from the skin and stores excess energy. At night, when it’s cooler, it gives out energy to heat the skin to comfortable levels. The material can also rapidly adjust to surrounding temperatures by automatically switching between cooling and heating modes. In a test, the researchers placed the material on a volunteer’s hand and varied the surrounding temperature. They monitored the volunteer’s skin temperature with an infrared (红外线的) camera. The material attained comfortable temperatures within seconds of surrounding temperature changes. Rather than designing clothing made entirely from the material, the team envisions it can be strategically woven into everyday fashion or spacesuits — with larger pieces in the main part of the body, and smaller ones tailored to the shoulders, upper arms, and the fronts of the thighs. Even without covering the entire body, the pieces’ excellent performance in storing and transferring heat can keep wearers comfortable all day — as long as there are a few hours of sunshine. To Dr. Huang Xingyi at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, the material has far more uses beyond clothing. It could extend textiles or buildings to keep temperatures in check without using air conditioning. With extreme temperatures taking more lives than hurricanes, floods, or tornadoes combined, these materials aren’t just for brave explorers — they may revolutionize the way we experience and adapt to our environment. 28. How does the author introduce the topic of this text? A. By describing the history of clothing design. B. By explaining the appeal of modern clothing. C. By presenting current limitations of clothing. D. By listing popular clothing brands and features. 29. What do we know about the material in paragraph 2? A. It draws energy from water. B. It relies on complex chemical reactions. C. It improves performance at night. D. It helps adjust body temperature dynamically. 30. What is the main advantage of the material shown in paragraph 3? A. Its physical flexibility. B. Its rapid response. C. Its lightweight design. D. Its stability under water. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Solar-powered Material for Temperature Control. B. Smart Clothing to Replace Traditional Space Suits. C. A Solution to the Battery Problem in Clothing. D. Solar Energy’s Wide Use in Modern Buildings. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍南开大学科研团队研制的一种仅靠太阳能就能快速调节体温的柔性材料，说明其工作原理、测试中的表现以及未来应用前景。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段前两句“Clothing has allowed us to explore the far reaches of our world, keeping us relatively comfortable and safe. But even the most technical garments — self-heating vests or built-in ice packs — can only perform to a certain extent. (服装使我们能够探索世界的遥远角落，让我们相对舒适和安全。但即便是最具技术含量的服装——自发热背心或内置冰袋——也只能在一定程度上发挥作用。)”可知，作者先肯定服装的作用，再用“But”转折指出哪怕最先进的服装也存在“只能暖或只能冷、还需要笨重电池”的不足。可见本文的话题由呈现现有服装的局限引入。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Scientists from Nankai University took a step towards smart clothing that rapidly adjusts body temperature using only solar power. (南开大学的科学家们朝着仅用太阳能就能快速调节体温的智能服装迈出了一步。)”以及最后一句“The material can also rapidly adjust to surrounding temperatures by automatically switching between cooling and heating modes. (这种材料还能通过在制冷和制热模式之间自动切换，快速适应周围的环境温度。)”可知，这种材料不仅能调节体温，而且能在制冷与制热模式之间随环境变化自动切换，即能动态地帮助调节体温。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“The material attained comfortable temperatures within seconds of surrounding temperature changes. (在周围温度发生变化后的几秒钟内，这种材料就达到了令人舒适的温度。)”可知，这种材料在环境温度改变后数秒之内就恢复到舒适温度，其突出优势是响应迅速。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。主旨大意题。文章第一段以现有服装只能暖或只能冷、依赖笨重电池的局限引入；第二段介绍一种仅靠太阳能、能捕光储热或释热并在制冷与制热模式间自动切换的柔性材料；第三段说明其在变温测试中数秒内达到舒适温度的快速响应；第四段展望其被策略性织入日常服装或宇航服；第五段指出其用途超越服装，可扩展至纺织品或建筑，并可能改变人类体验和适应环境的方式。全文核心是这种靠太阳能实现温度调控的新材料。所以最佳标题为“一种用于控温的太阳能材料”。 D Picture this: You’re at a fancy restaurant, and the waiter asks how your meal is. Even if the steak is as tough as old boots, chances are you would smile and say it is delicious. That’s courtesy bias in action. In psychology, it’s the tendency for people to give answers or express opinions that they believe should be viewed favorably by others. The origin of courtesy bias can be traced back to our evolutionary need to maintain social harmony. After all, our ancestors probably wouldn’t have survived long if they had gone around offending everyone in sight. However, courtesy bias isn’t just about being polite. It’s a complex interaction of cognitive (认知的) processes, cultural norms, and social expectations. It can look very different depending on where you are in the world. In some cultures, direct disagreement is seen as rude, while in others, it’s perfectly acceptable to speak your mind. We’re social creatures and the thought of causing offense can be terrifying. We have the ingrained desire to present ourselves in the best possible light to be liked and accepted by others. When we’re faced with a situation where expressing our true thoughts might lead to conflict or discomfort, our brains often choose the path of least resistance: agreeing and being polite. Courtesy bias doesn’t just affect our day-to-day interactions — it can have a significant impact on psychological research. Imagine you’re participating in a study, and the researcher asks you some pretty personal questions. Even if you’re assured that your name will not be revealed, you’ll still feel the urge to give the “right” answers. This tendency can seriously interfere with survey responses and data collection. Participants might downplay negative experiences, exaggerate positive ones, or simply give the answers they think the researchers want to hear. The potential for distorted (失真的) research results due to courtesy bias is a real concern in the psychological community. After all, if we can’t trust the data we’re collecting, how can we draw accurate conclusions? Courtesy bias should be dealt with seriously. 32. Why does the author mention commenting on a meal in paragraph 1? A. To clarify a concept. B. To present a trend. C. To introduce the background. D. To share a personal experience. 33. What can be learned about courtesy bias from paragraph 2? A. It’s one reason for cultural differences. B. It’s primarily driven by a fear of authority. C. It’s largely influenced by the social context. D. It’s a complex problem in communication. 34. What does the underlined word “ingrained” in paragraph 3 mean? A. short-lived B. deep-rooted C. self-centered D. new-found 35. What might the author continue talking about? A. Examples of courtesy bias. B. Dark sides of courtesy bias. C. Strategies to tackle courtesy bias. D. Possible sources of courtesy bias. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了“礼貌偏见”的概念、起源、表现形式及其对心理学研究的影响。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Picture this: You’re at a fancy restaurant, and the waiter asks how your meal is. Even if the steak is as tough as old boots, chances are you would smile and say it is delicious. That’s courtesy bias in action. In psychology, it’s the tendency for people to give answers or express opinions that they believe should be viewed favorably by others. (想象一下这个场景：你身在一家高档餐厅，服务员问你饭菜合不合口味。就算牛排老得咬不动，你多半还是会笑着说味道很好。这就是礼貌偏见的实际表现。在心理学中，它是指人们倾向于给出答案或表达他们认为会被他人看好的观点。)”可知，作者提到在餐厅评论餐食的例子是为了阐明“礼貌偏见”这个概念。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It can look very different depending on where you are in the world. In some cultures, direct disagreement is seen as rude, while in others, it’s perfectly acceptable to speak your mind. (根据你身处世界的哪个地方，它可能看起来非常不同。在某些文化中，直接反对被视为粗鲁，而在其他文化中，直言不讳是完全可接受的。)”可知，礼貌偏见很大程度上受社会环境的影响。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“We’re social creatures and the thought of causing offense can be terrifying. We have the ingrained desire to present ourselves in the best possible light to be liked and accepted by others. (我们是社会性动物，想到冒犯他人可能会令人恐惧。我们有一种ingrained欲望，希望以最好的形象展示自己，以获得他人的喜爱和接纳。)”可知，人类是社会性生物，希望以最好的形象展示自己，以获得他人的喜爱和接纳，这种想要获得他人认可的欲望是长期形成、根深蒂固的，因此“ingrained”意为“根深蒂固的”，与“deep-rooted”意思相近。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Courtesy bias should be dealt with seriously. (礼貌偏见应该被认真对待。)”可知，作者接下来可能会谈论应对礼貌偏见的策略。 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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When the long hot days of summer arrive, we can escape the heat by going indoors and drinking cold drinks, while our plants cannot. ____36____ Here are four tips on how to take care of your garden during these record-breaking heat waves. ____37____ Instead of watering during the hottest parts of the day when water is likely to evaporate (蒸发), change your schedule to water in the evening or during the early morning. If you live in a dry area, you can set up sustainable watering systems, like a rainwater harvester and drip irrigation. Create shade. When it is really hot, plants need extra shade to reduce stress. You can increase shade by planting your garden in an area near trees and bushes. Of course, that won't help a vegetable garden planted in rows away from trees. ____38____ If you have potted plants, moving them under a shade net is also a good option. Use suitable plants. Another way to keep your garden safe from the sun takes some pre-planning. Generally speaking, native plants are much more likely to survive drought and extreme temperatures. ____39____ Using ground cover plants also requires far less water than a grass lawn. But if you do have a lawn, leave the grass clippings after you cut the grass. Plant some wildflowers. Dropping wildflower seeds on any unused part of your garden will help bees, butterflies, and insects survive the heat. Plants like buttercups and daisies are a good source of food for them. ____40____ After all, sharing your garden with nature is the most right thing to do. A. Change your watering schedule. B. Healthy plants require the right amount of sunlight. C. Meanwhile, set up a bird bath for birds to cool off in. D. Water plants only once a week to avoid overwatering. E. So, choosing native plants will make things much easier for you. F. But you can still help your plants survive the heat by using a shade net. G. That's why you have to help keep your garden cool when the temperatures rise. 【答案】36. G 37. A 38. F 39. E 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在夏季创纪录的高温热浪期间，如何通过改变浇水时间、创造阴凉、选用合适植物和种植野花等四个方法来照料花园，帮助植物度过高温。 【36题详解】 前文“When the long hot days of summer arrive, we can escape the heat by going indoors and drinking cold drinks, while our plants cannot. (当漫长炎热的夏日来临时，我们可以躲进室内喝冷饮来避暑，而我们的植物却不能。)”通过人与植物的对比，点明植物无法自主避暑的困境。后文“Here are four tips on how to take care of your garden during these record-breaking heat waves.(以下是四个方法，帮助你在创纪录的热浪期间照料好你的花园。)”直接引出具体建议。由此可知，空处需要承上启下，解释为什么“我们”需要采取行动来帮助植物。G项“That’s why you have to help keep your garden cool when the temperatures rise. (这就是为什么当温度升高时，你必须帮助你的花园保持凉爽。)”中的“That’s why”完美承接前文原因，并引出后文的行动建议，逻辑连贯。故选G。 【37题详解】 后文“Instead of watering during the hottest parts of the day when water is likely to evaporate (蒸发), change your schedule to water in the evening or during the early morning. If you live in a dry area, you can set up sustainable watering systems, like a rainwater harvester and drip irrigation.(不要在一天中最热、水分极易蒸发的时候浇水，而应将浇水时间调整为傍晚或清晨。如果你生活在干燥地区，可以搭建可持续的浇水系统，例如雨水收集器和滴灌设施。)”可知，本段围绕“改变浇水习惯”这一具体行动展开的。由此可知，空处应是该段主旨句。A项“Change your watering schedule. (改变你的浇水时间。)” 直接、准确地概括了本段核心建议，作为段首主题句最为合适。故选A。 【38题详解】 前文“Of course, that won’t help a vegetable garden planted in rows away from trees. (当然，这对于那些成行种植、远离树木的菜园来说没有帮助。)”指出了依靠树木遮阴方法的局限性，存在转折意味。后文“If you have potted plants, moving them under a shade net is also a good option. (如果你有盆栽植物，把它们移到遮阳网下也是个好选择。)”提供了另一种遮阴方案。由此可知，空处应承接前文的转折，并引出后文替代方案。F项“But you can still help your plants survive the heat by using a shade net. (但你仍然可以通过使用遮阳网来帮助植物在高温中存活。)”中的“But”承接转折，“using a shade net”完美引出后文的具体做法，衔接紧密。故选F。 【39题详解】 前文“Generally speaking, native plants are much more likely to survive drought and extreme temperatures. (一般来说，本地植物更有可能在干旱和极端温度下存活。)”说明了选择本地植物的优势。后文“Using ground cover plants also requires far less water than a grass lawn. (使用地被植物也比草坪需要少得多的水。)”转向另一类植物（地被植物）的优点。由此可知，空处应对前文关于“native plants”的论述进行总结或给出建议。E项“So, choosing native plants will make things much easier for you. (因此，选择本地植物会让事情对你来说容易得多。)”中的“So”是结果性连接词，对前文优势进行自然总结，并提出明确建议，符合语境。故选E。 【40题详解】 前文“Plant some wildflowers. Dropping wildflower seeds on any unused part of your garden will help bees, butterflies, and insects survive the heat. Plants like buttercups and daisies are a good source of food for them.(种植一些野花。在花园里任何闲置的区域播撒野花种子，将有助于蜜蜂、蝴蝶和其他昆虫在高温中存活。毛茛和雏菊等植物能为它们提供良好的食物来源。)”说明了种植野花对昆虫的帮助。后文“After all, sharing your garden with nature is the most right thing to do. (毕竟，与自然分享你的花园是最正确的事情。)”进行了总结升华，强调与自然共享的理念。由此可知，空处可以继续扩展“帮助其他生物”的思路，作为总结前的最后一个具体建议。C项“Meanwhile, set up a bird bath for birds to cool off in. (同时，为鸟类设置一个洗澡盆让它们降温。)” 中的“Meanwhile”表示并列补充，“birds”与前文的“bees, butterflies, and insects”共同构成更广泛的生物群体，丰富了“与自然分享”的内涵，使建议更全面，并自然导向最终结论。故选C。 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 “Would you say you are more of a scientist or an artist?” I frequently ____41____ this question as I was preparing my doctoral program, often after I told my classmates that I ____42____ writing poetry.

The delicate patterns of flowers, birds and mythical creatures that her grandmother created with a pair of scissors and a sheet of red paper seemed like magic. However, as her grandmother grew older, her hands began to shake, and she could no longer hold the scissors steadily. The ancient craft, passed down for three generations in her family, was at risk of being lost. Determined to preserve this intangible cultural heritage, Liu Jia decided to learn paper-cutting from her grandmother. At first, it was much harder than she expected. Her scissors slipped constantly, and the patterns she cut were clumsy and uneven. Her grandmother encouraged her patiently: “Paper-cutting is not just about skill — it’s about patience and love for our culture.” As Liu Jia practiced day after day, her skills improved. She started sharing her works on social media, hoping to attract more young people’s attention to this traditional art. To her surprise, her videos went viral, and she received hundreds of messages from teenagers who wanted to learn paper-cutting. Some even asked if she could hold offline workshops. Just as Liu Jia was planning to organize her first workshop, she faced a problem. Her school announced a crucial art competition with a theme of “Youth and Traditional Culture.” The deadline was only two weeks away, and she had to prepare a masterpiece for the competition. Meanwhile, the number of people signing up for the workshop kept growing, and she didn’t want to disappoint them. Liu Jia was caught in a dilemma. She spent her days practicing for the competition and her nights replying to messages from interested participants. Soon, she felt exhausted and overwhelmed. One evening, when she was about to quit one of the two tasks, her grandmother brought her a cup of tea and sat down beside her. 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。 Grandmother gently stroked Liu Jia’s hair and shared her own story of learning paper-cutting. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Inspired by her grandmother’s words, Liu Jia came up with a creative solution. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Grandmother gently stroked Liu Jia’s hair and shared her own story of learning paper-cutting. She recalled how she had to help with farm work and practice cutting after midnight when she was Liu Jia’s age. Smiling, she advised her granddaughter not to choose between two things she loved, but to find a way to connect them. She added that paper-cutting is about sharing joy, not just winning competitions. Liu Jia listened carefully, realizing that her anxiety came from trying to do everything alone. Inspired by her grandmother’s words, Liu Jia came up with a creative solution. She invited three enthusiastic participants to help prepare for the workshop, teaching them basic skills first. Meanwhile, she decided to take the workshop as part of her competition entry — recording the process and presenting the collective works. On the competition day, her unique entry stood out, and she won the first prize. The workshop also turned out a great success, with more young people falling in love with paper-cutting. Liu Jia finally understood: preserving culture is not a lonely journey, but a shared adventure. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了17岁的刘佳热爱奶奶家传承三代的剪纸，为留住这项非遗，她刻苦练习并在网上分享作品，不少年轻人想要参加她的线下剪纸工坊。可她同时要备战主题为青年与传统文化的重要比赛，陷入两难。在奶奶的启发下，她想到办法，请爱好者协助筹备工坊，并把工坊过程做成参赛作品，最终比赛获奖，工坊也圆满成功，她明白了文化传承是众人同行。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写奶奶分享自己当年学习剪纸时遇到的困难以及处理两难问题的经历，给予刘佳相应的建议，让刘佳受到启发。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写刘佳想到的兼顾比赛和工坊的具体解决方法，以及最终的结果和刘佳的感悟。 2.续写线索：学剪纸→上网分享→邀约办工坊→比赛冲突→奶奶开导→合作共赢→感悟传承 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①尝试：try/attempt ②意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①焦虑：anxiety/unease ②独特的：unique/distinctive 【点睛】[高分句型1] Liu Jia listened carefully, realizing that her anxiety came from trying to do everything alone.（运用了that引导宾语从句和现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] She recalled how she had to help with farm work and practice cutting after midnight when she was Liu Jia’s age.（运用了how引导宾语从句和when引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $福宁谷五校教学联合体英语科听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到答题卡上。现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club, can I help you?
