My father Michael was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2014,which came as a great shock to our family as he was only in his forties.As a husband and father of three,Dad had a successful career running a painting studio and was always extremely creative.Even in the advanced stages of Parkinson's,he decided to keep painting.In art lessons,the class practised painting still life objects like pears,but my father had other ideas.He began producing abstract pieces,explaining it helped us see the world differently.I realized he was right-I could interpret each of his works in many ways. Outside of work,he spent 15 years leading a band,Musical Chairs,which performed at a pub in Sydney's Double Bay each week.When I became a mother,he developed a very close bond with my daughter,Portia.Even after his diagnosis,his passion for music remained unwavering,and his love for Portia continued to grow stronger. Unfortunately,in 2022,he was diagnosed with kidney cancer and given just three months to live.As months turned to years,my father seemed a walking miracle,but his health was suffering. Knowing he wanted to share his paintings with the world,I decided to organize an exhibition for him.By then he had painted 660 works. I hadn't done anything like this before.When I was younger,my father always told me,"Just say yes and then work out how to do it later,"so I figured this philosophy would guide me through. So in October last year,we welcomed the public to "My Kids Could Do That,"my father's first public showing,held at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney.Everyone loved his works.I was thrilled to see Dad had found the confidence to call himself an artist at last.His eyes lit up with pride when he saw the walls filled with his works.I've got three of his pieces in my home and I can't be more proud of what he has achieved. 24.What can we learn about Michael after his diagnosis? A.He gave up his painting studio. B.He stopped performing with his band. C.IIe continued to create abstract paintings. D.He lost interest in still life objects. 25.Why did the author decide to organize an exhibition for her father? A.To raise money for his medical treatment. B.To fulfill his wish to share his works with the public. C.To prove his talent to the art world. D.To celebrate his recovery from cancer. 26.Which of the following can best describe Michael? A.Creative and strong-willed. B.Strict and demanding. C.Humorous and easy-going. D.Quiet and cautious. 27.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.A Father's Fight Against Parkinson's B.Painting Through the Pain C.My Father's Unfinished Dream D.Art and Music:A Family Tradition A highly well-preserved feathered dinosaur,newly discovered in northeastern China,was likely to fly.The fossil has challenged our traditional understanding of how birds developed the ability to fly. Named Norellraptor barsboldi(诺氏小盗龙)，it belongs to the microraptors(小盗龙类)，a group of small dinosaurs with feathers and wings.It is also part of Paraves(近鸟类)，a wider group that includes many meat-eating dinosaurs and modern birds.Like its living relatives,this dinosaur could probably take flight.But close analysis of the remarkably detailed fossil suggests the path to flight may be far more complex than we once thought. The dinosaur's body is 57 centimeters long,and researchers believe it was still growing when it died.Its bones are well preserved,while its feathers are poorly preserved.Evidence shows that its front arms and tail had flight-related feathers,and other body parts were covered with simple,straight feathers. By studying its bone structure and its position in the family tree,scientists put forward a new idea:flight may have developed independently at least twice among Paraves Microraptors and birds both gained flying skills,but they did not inherit this ability from the same ancient 6 ancestor.The growth pattern of the dinosaur's wing bones also differs greatly from that of modern flying birds This pattern means that unrelated species can develop similar abilities through totally different paths.For example whales and fish both swim with fins ()but they formed such body structures in separate ways. Howevor.scientists warn that one single fossil is not enough to rewrite evolutionary history. More solid evidence is required before they fully accept that microraptors and birds developed flight separately.The relationship between the flight skills of birds and microraptors remains controversial among researchers. 28.What can we learn about Norellraptor barsboldi from the text? A.It was the largest dinosaur ever discovered in China. B.It was a fully grown adult when it died. C.It had feathers and wings and could probably fly. D.It was the direct ancestor of modern birds. 29.What is the new finding of the research? A.Paraves dinosaurs all developed flight from one ancestor. B.Birds learned to fly from microraptors long ago. C.Flight may have evolved more than once in Paraves. D.Microraptors could fly better than ancient birds. 30.Why does the author mention whales and fish in Paragraph 5? A.To illustrate how similar abilities evolve separately. B.To compare different swimming skills C.To show the power of natural selection. D.To stress the importance of fossil research. 31.What is the scientists'attitude toward the new idea about flight development A.Supportive. B.Disappointed. C.Cautious. D.Uninterested. D As people grow older,a variety of physical changes take place in their bodies.For example, their bones may become weaker,and their memory may become poorer.However,scientists are curious about whether one of these changes could act as an indicator or warning sign of another. In other words,they wonder if a change in one area,such as bone strength,might reveal or predict a change in another area,such as memory. A research team from Johns Hopkins University in the US studied the link between low bone mineral density(BMD,骨密度)in the spine(脊柱)and signs of cognitive decline.The 6 study found a connection between weaker bones and faster brain aging,including changes in brain structure and a faster rate of cognitive decline. The research analyzed data from 715 volunteers in a long-term health project.At the start, they underwent chest scans and memory tests.Several years later.researchers repeated brain scans and cognitive tests.Scientists used a specially designed AI tool to measure bone density from chest CT scaus.Bone density refers to the amount of minerals,such as calcium ()inside bones.Less mineral content means weaker bones that break more easily. Lower bone density was associated with two signs of brain damage visible on scans.These affected brain areas control planning ability,short-term memory and attention.Participants with lower bone density also showed worse performance on cognitive tests over time. The researchers stress that the study aannot prove weak bones directly cause loss of brain function.An underlying factor may contribute to both problems.Possible shared causes include age-related metabolic changes.These changes affect how the body processes food and turns it into energy. The study's long-term follow-up is valuable,but more research is still needed.In the future, bone density results might help identify people at higher risk for cognitive problems.Moreover, with AI,existing medical scans can be reused to obtain more health information.For example, chest scans originally used for lung examinations can also provide additional information about spinal bone density 32.What is the main purpose of the study from Johns Hopkins University? A.To find the link between bone density and brain aging. B.To prove aging leads to weakening of human bones. C.To test AI tools used in medical examination. D.To slow down the process of cognitive decline 33.What can we learn about the research? A.It collected data from newly joined volunteers. B.It used AI to measure bone density from chest scans. C.It focused on the treatment of brain damage. D.It provided direct proof of cause and effect. 34.What does the underlined word"metabolic"in Paragraph 5 refer to? A.Body growth. B.Material exchange inside the body. C.Brain develepment. D.Energy storage in bones. 35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.Chest scans are designed to test bone density B.AI can completely replace traditional medical tests. C.Existing medical data has greater value than expected. D.People's cognitive risks can be ptedicted accurately now. 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Tips on Learning Math You may soon get bored with math and lose interest in it while sitting in a math class listening to your teacher adding,subtracting,multiplying and dividing endless numbers. 36 Here are some tips that can help you. Learn math tricks.There are many tricks in math that save you enormous time.For example, adding up all the numbers from 1 to 100 is a lot of work.But,check out this easy way to do it: 100 +1 101 and 99+2=101,right?So does 98+3,97 +4,96 +5,etc.So,if you multiply 101 by the number of these pairs,you'll get the sum of all the numbers from 1 to 100,which is 5050. Make math easy.Math can be difficult to learn because students are often taught to learn matn by memorizing formulas.However,by learning math this way,students aren't taught the principles and concepts.But the principles and concepts are needed to understand why a particular formula is being used. You can ask your teacher why and how a particular formula works,while others do not. For example,if you're interested in historical landmarks,learn about the math involved in building these landmarks. Connect math to everyday life. For example,if you have an alarm clock, chances are that you will figure out how many extra minutes you can sleep before you get out of bed once you hit the snooze button(贪睡按钮).Try to notice the different ways you do math in your day-to-day tasks A.They are often interesting,as well. B.So make math easier by learning them. C.Try your hand at solving some math competition problems. D.Make math fun by using it in the real world. E.By doing so,you can find a way out of doing extra work. F.Explore how math is related to something that you love. G.However;you can beat the boredom by making math meaningful to you. 8 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人空白处的最佳选项」 Several months back,Chris Junior Anaekwe discovered that the drainage channels in the neighborhood market were completely blocked by plastic bags,soda bottles,and food wrappers.

One afternoon,the main goalkeeper got hurt during warm-up.Coach pointed at Oren.His heart pounded wildly as he grabbed his stick and ran onto the field. The other team attacked hard.Oren made save after save(一次次扑救)，his stick moving faster than he thought possible.When the final whistle blew,his team had won.His teammates lifted him onto their shoulders,cheering loudly. But Oren felt strange.He told himself it was just pure chance and that he was not really that good.He could not believe the warm praise was meant for him. After the game,his grandfather was waiting outside the sports field.The old man had watched from the stands and told Oren he had played well.Oren shook his head.He said he got lucky,and that the ball just hit his stick. Grandfather smiled.He said luck is when preparation meets the moment.He reminded Oren that his ancestors had invented this game,and that it ran in his blood.Oren still doubted his own ability,but he said nothing That evening,he and Grandfather walked home along a quiet country road.The sky was 11 turning dark as the sun went down.Without warning,a truck rolled past,its load shifting.A piece of metal broke loose and flew toward them.Oren moved without thinking. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；2.销按如下格式在答题卡的相应位臂作答.

Amazed at the brilliant brushwork of the paintings on show, I really enjoyed the artistic feast. However, what struck me was that many visitors were busy taking photos and recording videos with smartphones rather than appreciating the artworks with their own eyes. Personally, art can’t be fully appreciated merely through pixels. Only by seeing works in person can we feel the real human touch behind them. Therefore, I suggest putting our phones aside and immersing ourselves in art. Hope you can enjoy an art exhibition some day. Yours, Li Hua 67. 读后续写（25分） 参考范文 Paragraph 1 The piece of metal was coming fast, and Grandfather couldn’t move in time. Without thinking, Oren threw himself forward and pushed him aside. The metal struck the ground heavily. Oren fell hard, his arm and knee aching. For a moment, he could hardly breathe. Then he heard Grandfather’s voice. “Oren! Are you all right?” Grandfather knelt beside him, hands trembling. Oren tried to smile. “I’m okay,” he said. “You’re safe. That’s what matters.” The truck stopped, and the driver ran back, pale and shaken. Grandfather held Oren’s hand and would not let go. “You moved so fast,” he said. “You saved me, just as you saved the game.” Paragraph 2 When Oren finally understood what had happened, he sat down beside his grandfather. His heart was still racing. “I just moved,” he said. “I didn’t think.” Grandfather smiled. “That’s what I mean,” he said. “When the moment came, your body knew what to do. That’s not just luck. That’s preparation. That’s courage.” Oren was quiet. He remembered the game that afternoon. He had told himself he was just lucky. But now he saw things differently. Maybe he was not as weak as he thought. The game his ancestors invented had taught him more than how to make a save. He helped Grandfather up, and they walked home slowly. The road was dark, but Oren did not feel afraid. 录音稿 这是高三英语模拟试题 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客观题答题卡上。 停顿00′5″ 现在是听力试音时间。 停顿00′2″ M: Hello.

It was there, listening to the stories of her students and their families, that she discovered her goal to become a writer. She didn’t just write books; she built bridges. In her books, she talks about the lives of people we often ignore. Her stories are about never giving up and hoping for a better future. Recently, her dream of setting up a writing scholarship for young storytellers has finally come true. As the founder of the “Next Chapter” program, she now divides her time between helping new writers and working on her own creative writing. It is now my great honor to welcome Maya Reed to the stage. Please join me in giving her warm applause. 第二节到此结束。现在, 你有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。 停顿02′00″ 听力部分到此结束。 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
