B I was six when Short Circuit,the story of a small robot that came to life after a malfunction,first reached our screen.That single viewing planted in me a wish no later lesson could erase:to build such a machine.I grew up with Lego bricks always in my hands,and the fascination never left me,not even after I learned how hard it is to turn a child's dream into a machine that really works. University was not a sudden revelation (for me.It was simply a step along a path I had already chosen.My professors inspired me,and their lectures gave me the tools to make that dream real. After finishing my PhD,I joined Agile Robots,a robotics company,first writing algorithms in the research department and later moving to the control team,where a robot's every motion is first determined and then set going by the commands I pass on. Of every phase,testing holds me most.Watching what began as equations and lines of code take on a body and move with a steadiness no screen could promise is an excitement that never wears off. But the work is not all enthusiasm.Dozens of engineers lean on one product,and some bugs surface at the far edge of what our models predict.Such an error behaves like a needle in a pile of straw. We often have to work backwards,patiently,through successive failures,to discover where they came 高三英语第4页共12页 扫描全能王创建 可只 from,which takes a strong sense of mathematical abstraction. I am also fascinated by what comes next:giving a body to a program that once lived only in a virtual world.Yet I never forget why we build these machines-they are made to help us,not to replace us,and it is not technology that causes harm but the way we use it. To students who dream of robotics,I would say one thing:curiosity makes all the difference.Keep digging,and never settle for a surface understanding-even the hardest subjects hide a kind of beauty. 24.What first made the author want to build robots? A.A robot film he watched. B.Lego bricks he played with. C.A visit to a robotics company. D.Lectures from his professors 25.What does the author do in the control team? A.Define the robots'motion track. B.Plan movements and send signals C.Test whether the robots work well. D.Train new engineers to use robots. 26.What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about? A.The limitation of model prediction. B.The value of team effort. C.The power of mathematical thinking. D.The difficulty of fault finding. 27.What is the author's attitude towards the future of robots? A.Doubtful. B.Objective. C.Enthusiastic. D.Indifferent. Q Geneticist Cameron Peace from Washington State University once received leaf samples collected from an old apple tree in Maine.Sent by local fruit-preservation enthusiasts,the sample was meant to identify this mystery tree growing on a property dating back to the American Revolutionary War.When Peace compared its genetic fingerprint against his large database,he got an unexpected result:the tree's DNA perfectly matched a genetically predicted founder of many American apple varieties,whose physical sample had long been missing. Modern commercial apple production faces hidden risks.Though hundreds of apple varieties exist in North America,market production relies on a handful of cultivars ()Such monoculture makes apples easy to get bacterial and plant diseases,worsened by unstable weather.Apples cannot grow into identical fruit-bearing trees from seeds due to cross-pollination )To preserve the features of one favorite apple variety,farmers must reproduce new trees through grafting ()Ancient grafted apple trees,surviving on long abandoned farmland,serve as living genetic banks.They store valuable plant characteristics such as resistance to diseases and rough climate,qualities that modern commercial apples may have gradually cast aside for features more favoured by consumer markets. 高三英语第5页共12页 扫描全能王创建 Local apple hunters located the aging tree while rescuing valuable samples in former settlements. Driven not purely by scientific purposes but also by fascination with regional history,they gathered tissue for DNA-based identification.Further analysis drawing on international shared genetic data revealed its provenance:Drap d'Or de Bretagne,a valuable French cultivar recorded as early as 1628. Brought across the Atlantic by early European immigrants,this grafted tree had survived unnoticed for centuries in North America.It represented the first confirmed living sample of its kind on the continent. The rediscovery means far more than solving a historical puzzle.This tree,which has long been overlooked,preserves valuable genetic material.Scientists hope to introduce its strong survival characteristics into modern programs of apple improvement.The case also highlights that countless forgotten old trees across the continent may hold untapped treasures for future agriculture,waiting to be noticed and carefully studied. 28.What is special about the Maine apple tree? A.It was found by a geneticist. B.It goes back to the war times. C.It comes from a DNA database. D.It is a theoretical apple ancestor. 29.Which risk do limited plant varieties bring to apples? A.Higher disease threat. B.Loss of grafting skills. C.Lower climate tolerance. D.Decline in market demand. 30.What does the underlined word "provenance"in paragraph 3 mean? A.Quality. B.Expansion. C.Source. D.Condition. 31.What is the text mainly about? A.Information on apple development. B.Trouble with modern apple farming. C.Work of apple protection volunteers. D.Rediscovery of an ancient apple tree. D More and more often,insights from behavioural economics-the study of how people actually make decisions-are spreading to other areas of public policy.For example,findings about social nudges (have moved from the energy sector to taxation.In the UK,tax officials have trialled sending letters to people who pay their tax bills late,informing them that most other people have paid on time.This social-pressure approach has reportedly worked well,and policy-makers are applying the same ideas in other areas too. It is important,however,that policy-makers do not lose sight of conventional economic policies, and some of the most effective initiatives combine standard economic tools with behavioural 高三英语第6页共12页 扫描全能王创建 adjustments.One example is the charge for plastic bags,first introduced in Ireland many years ago to deal with plastic bag littering. Plastic bag littering is a serious environmental problem with damaging effects on wildlife,the environment and human health.When the UK government introduced a 5 pence(p)plastic bag charge in 2015,stories started circulating that,in some homes,the bags were worth more than people's houses-because people had hoarded()so many bags that were now worth 5p each. More seriously,the 5p charge is an illustration of how insights from behavioural economics can inform the design of conventional economic policies while also promoting behaviour change.The charge is a tax,but one designed to correct a behavioural bias rather than a market problem:it is hardly rational to hoard large numbers of nearly valueless plastic bags.Perhaps hoarding of plastic bags is a demonstration of a common psychological tendency-we over-value things we already own.Whatever the reasons,a simple tax can nudge us away from either collecting bags we do not need or using too many and throwing them away. But there were unintended consequences.Evidence suggests that the overall use of plastic bags did not fall.Many people stopped re-using ordinary supermarket bags as bin bags and instead bought larger ones,including "bags for life"and heavy-duty bin bags,cancelling out some (possibly all)of the expected environmental benefits. 32.What did the UK tax officials do with late taxpayers? A.Inform them of others'tax bills. B.Convince them of social benefits. C.Warn them of possible heavy fines. D.Remind them of others'completion. 33.Why does the author mention the plastic bag charge in paragraph 2? A.To prove that charges end bag littering. B.To show what makes an effective policy. C.To explain why Ireland could take the lead. D.To compare economic tools with behaviour. 34.What is the plastic bag charge mainly designed for? A.Correcting the habit of collecting bags. B.Stopping the use of heavy-duty bags. C.Solving the problem of market failure. D.Avoiding the rise in plastic bag prices. 35.What can we learn about the result of the plastic bag charge? A.It reduced the use of plastic bags. B.It won the public's strong support. C.It changed behaviour unexpectedly. D.It benefited the environment greatly. 高三英语第7页共12页 架 扫描全能王创建 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。 Today,being bored is as rare as hen's teeth,as the British might say.Boredom,or quiet time,isn't valuable because it's pleasant.36 Boredom is valuable because it creates the mental space from which creativity,insight,connection,and even purpose emerge.Doing nothing,often equated to being bored,is not wasted time.Rather,these quiet moments may be among the most productive of our day. Perhaps that's why childhood,before this era of constant connection and electronic noise,offered something many adults today rarely experience:long stretches of unstructured time.Like many children of the boomer generation,my summer days stretched endlessly before me.We rode bikes,invented games,and played with whatever neighborhood child wandered into our yard.And when alone,I would read,wonder,and write.37 Today's children often experience something different.38 They have little time to be bored and little opportunity for the unstructured time that invites exploration and imagination.Are we doing ourselves or our children any favors by hyper-structuring every hour of the day?Or is boredom always something we should avoid? 39 Researchers increasingly distinguish between chronic boredom,which can harm our well-being,and the temporary boredom that leads to imagination,curiosity,and creativity.Chronic boredom has been linked to depression,poor attention,loneliness,and risk-taking behaviors. Temporary boredom is quite different.40 It creates space for unexpected connections, creative problem-solving,and the“eureka(灵光-现)”of ideas that can only occur when our minds are free to wander.Some psychologists even suggest that this state can promote personal growth.Perhaps the next time boredom comes calling,invite it in. A.It is where the magic happens. B.They,however,enjoy more freedom than ever before. C.Of course not,because filling every hour leaves no time to rest. D.The answer depends on the kind of boredom we're talking about. E.There was always enough space to inspire curiosity and to daydream. F.Days filled with organized activities and,in the spaces between them,screens. G.In fact,many of us become anxious when bored and reach for the next distraction. 高三英语第8页共12页 扫描全能王创建 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。 Last winter,I had my driver's licence suspended for a year.At first,I was 41.I'd gotten used to the freedom of picking up groceries whenever I wanted or meeting a friend without 42 how long by bus,bike or on foot.I would have to re-learn how slow life becomes when you can't drive.On cold dark mornings,biking to work was hard.The roads were 43 and I could not see well.But when I spotted another cyclist on the way,I felt a little less 44.We were all going through the same thing.

The past 11 months reminded me of the value of 54 and appreciating what I do have:I am healthy enough to work,have a job I like,and still keep my independence.I once feared that losing my licence would steal my freedom.55,it opened my eyes to the small,ordinary joys that I had always taken for granted. 41.A.excited B.relieved C.worried D.surprised 42.A.discussing B.planning C.forgetting D.calculating 43.A.icy B.stony C.dusty D.messy 44.A.safe B.alone C.lost D.hurt 45.A.hesitant B.unsure C.doubtful D.cautious 46.A.valued B.ignored C.regained D.sacrificed 47.A.expert B.official C.opponent D.announcer 48.A.call B.lift C.ticket D.drink 49.A.patience B.duty C.pride D.kindness 高三英语第9页共12页 扫描全能王创建 50.A.fitting B.packing C.measuring D.cleaning 51.A.parked B.broken C.stuck D.abandoned 52.A.deserved B.promised C.expected D.remembered 53.A.notices B.ingredients C.materials D.groceries 54.A.moving on B.slowing down C.giving up D.looking back 55.A.Anyhow B.Otherwise C.Therefore D.Instead 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 During my first autumn in Chongqing,I found myself repeatedly drawn to some figures that seem to belong to another age.They are the bang-bang,lean men in their fifties or sixties,56 shoulder bamboo poles and move goods up hills too high for any vehicle.The bang-bang,also referred to by 57 (local)as the "bang-bang army",are porters in Chongqing. Yet what continues to surprise me is the quiet pride with which they approach their work.On my first attempt to lift a 58(load)pole,I almost fell under its weight,59(expose)how false their ease really was.The old porter who watched me 60(smile),bearing the load again as if it weighed nothing. It is this effortless strength that 61(support)Chongqing for decades.Before subways and cars reached every hillside,the bang-bang were the city's only means of moving supplies,carrying everything from rice bags to furniture up hills.No matter how heavy a load or how long a staircase,a bang-bang would always find 62 way to bring goods swiftly and safely from its pick-up point to its destination.This has earned the bang-bang the reputation of being Chongqing's63(tough) workers. As many of the porters are getting older and retiring from their trade,the bang-bang army continuously shrinks.The trade is 64(separably)linked with this city,just like the spicy Chongqing hot pot.The bang-bang stand 65 a living symbol of a city built by hand.If one day, they disappear from the streets of Chongqing,we should never forget their contribution to this city. 高三英语第10页共12页 扫描全能王创建 第四部分写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 假定你是李华，外教Mr.Smith对你校即将举办的一场八段锦(Baduanjin)体验活动很感兴 趣，请你给他写一封邮件，邀请他参加。内容包括： 1.活动安排： 2.注意事项。 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。 Dear Mr.Smith, Yours, LiHua 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。 I used to play basketball on weekends,though I was never very good at it.One afternoon,however, I fell and broke my leg badly.The doctor told me I would need an operation,and that I would be on crutches (for months.Suddenly,even simple things-walking to the bus stop,buying some milk, taking out the rubbish-became a daily struggle.I could order most food and things online,but there were still a few short trips I had to make myself,and each one filled me with quiet worry.I hated feeling so helpless,but there was no one living nearby I could ask for help. At the time,I was living in a small flat beside a park.Every day after school,a large group of teenagers would gather under the big tree closest to my building.To be honest,they looked a little frightening.In big jackets and heavy boots,they talked and laughed loudly,whistled between sentences, called out to one another,and fixed hard stares on passers-by.More than once I saw someone lower their head and hurry off under that gaze,while the teenagers broke into laughter.Nothing about them was truly unkind,yet their rough looks and noisy manner were enough to make me keep my distance. 高三英语第11页共12页 扫描全能王创建 One morning I ran out of milk and had no choice.I went to the corner store and came back with a heavy big bottle of milk in my bag.To get home,I had to walk past them.My heart raced,and the weight of the milk made me lean to one side while my arms already ached.Balancing on one leg,I moved slowly forward,trying not to be noticed.As I walked by,one of the boys suddenly called out something I did not quite catch.Sure he was laughing at my strange way of walking,I lowered my head, held my crutches tighter,and kept going,eager to get away. 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。 Before I had gone far,however,I heard quick steps coming up behind me. △ △ △ △ △ △ From that day on,those "scary"teenagers became my unexpected helpers. △ △ △ △ △ △ 高三英语第12页共12页 扫描全能王创建
