On Dec.26,Gelinne,60,was gazing out his back windows of his home in Maryland,at
frozen Beards Creek whenhe spotted a small aircraft a few hundred yards away,losing altitude.
As the plane disappeared behind the trees,Gelinne,a former Navy commander,realized it
was going to land in the creek(小海湾).He flashed on a moment from more than 20 years
earlier:Sept.11,2001,he was at work when terrorists crashed a jumbo jet into the
building.He fled the chaos buthas always wondered if he could have stayed inside and helped.
On this day,he didn't hesitate.Racing down to the waterfront,he saw the plane had slid to
a stop on the broad,frozen creek,far from the shore.It was now sinking.The pilot was standing
on the wing.Gelinne knew that the icy water could kill the pilot.
Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on
it.So, herushed back and swiftly pulled out a kayak(橡皮船)from his back deck.
He set off.His initial attempts left him circling on the spot.But with some muscle,he
made progress.It was physically-demanding work.When Gelinne reached the plane,it had
sunk; only its tail was visible.The pilot was standing on a tail wing,submerged up to his
chest. Gelinne edged his kayak off the ice and into the water,paddling toward the pilot.To
keep the pilot calm,he joked,"Just hang on to the boat as if you were hugging your
wife."The pilot grabbed the kayak's bow.Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot out of the
water immediately. But all their desperate attempts ended in failure.
By now a police officer had arrived and radioed for help.A boat from the Maryland
Department of Natural Resources appeared,breaking through ice as it arrived.It picked up
the pilot,Steve Couchman,71,and rushed him to safety;hewould be treated for minor injuries.
Rescue had arrived just in time,Gelinne recalled.“I'm 60 years old.There was no way I
could get him to shore.”Still,he was satisfied he'd gone the right way that day.

terrorists. 25.Why did Gelinne set out to help without hesitation?

(C)
Glass is referred to as a material which can infinitely be recycled without it impacting its
quality,purity or durability.Recycled glass can be crushed into glass pieces,which canbe melted
down and used to produce more glass.Glass used for packaging has a high recycling
rate compared to other packaging materials.In Europe,the average glass recycling rate is
76%, compared to 41%for plastic packaging and 31%for wooden packaging.
When glass is left in the natural environment,it is less likely to cause pollution than plastic.
Unlike plastics,which break down into microplastics that can get into soils and water,glass is
non-toxic.“Glass is mainly made of silica,which is a natural substance,”says Franziska
Trautmann,the co-founder of Glass Half Full,a New Orleans-based company that recycles
glass into sand that can be used for coastal restoration and disaster relief.Silica,also known as
silica dioxide,makes up 59%of the Earth's crust.Since it is a natural compound,there is no
concern about environmental de gradation .
However,glass requires higher temperatures than plastic and aluminum to melt and form,
says Alice Brock,a PhD researcher at University of Southampton in the UK.Raw materials for
making virgin glass also release greenhouse gases during the melting process,adding to its
environmental footprint.According to the International Energy Agency,the container and
flat-glass industries emit over 60 megatons of CO2 per year.A key problem with glass recycling
is that it involves the remelting process,which is the most energy intensive part of glass
production.It accounts for 75%of the energy consumption duringproduction.
Even though glass containers can be reused an average of12-20 times,glass is often
treated as single-use.Single-use glass disposed of at landfills can take up to one million
years to decompose.So the next time you want to drop a glass bottle,perhaps consider
reusing it first.
Glass is a resilient,long-lasting material that is not made to be thrown away after only being
used once.
28.What does the passage focus on?
A.Glass production. B.Glass restoration. C.Glass prospect. D.Glass
recycling. 29.Whatdoes the underlined word in the second paragraph probably mean?
A.Damage B.Conservation. C.Assessment. D.Transformation.
高三英语试题第5页(共10页)30.What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A.Glass melting process is complicated.
B.Glass reduces environmental
footprint.
C.Glass items are meant for permanent use.
D.Glass production consumes much energy.
31.Why does the author advocate reuse of glass containers?
A.To confirm their durability. B.To suggest being economical.
C.To promote the green idea. D.To propose a new energy plan.
(D)
Exhausted by the rising cost of living in the United States and non-stop
advertisements, some young adults on TikTok are pushingback.
“When every moment of your life feels like you are being sold something and the price
of that item keeps going up,people will burn out on spending money,”said Kara
Perez,an influencer and financial educator.
Social media has long showcased picture ---perfect homes,luxurious closets and various
beauty products.But a new trend,known as“underconsumption core”,is moving in the opposite
direction ---encouraging more economical lifestyles and prioritizing quality over quantity.For
example,many people on social media proudly displaytheir well-worn shoes that have been with
them since middle school,along with their commitment to using the last drop of their
makeup. Others opt for repurposing old mason jars instead ofbuying new food storage
containers.
For a long time,young people in the West have commonly made use of“Buy Now,Pay
Later”plans,which have intensified consumption.They have developed a behavior of
spending down to their last pound on a fashion item.It is an addiction tied to the pressure “to
show who we are through possessions”.However,years of inflation(通货膨胀)have forced
many to conclude that they cannot keep up with the spending habits of those on their social
media feeds.
“The social media trend of'underconsumption'is a way for Gen Z to make the most of
their money and be environmentally friendly at the same time,”said Ashley Ross,head of Bank
ofAmerica.
Low-consumption brick-and-mortar (实体的)initiatives attract a broader range of
people across different profiles and generations.Anjali Zielinski,42,joined a“Mending
101”workshop in Georgetown,DC,hoping to acquire new skills.She brought her 7-year-old
daughter,Mina, along with her.In addition to providing an outlet for Mina's creativity,she
hopes the craft will teach her daughter the“value of our possessions and the work that goes into
them.”
But some are still doubtful.It remains to be seen whether “underconsumption core”is
simply amood or a lasting movement.“The lifespan of this trend depends,in many ways,onhow long the economy continues to slow and incomes remains below price gains,”Brett
House,an economics professor at Columbia Business School,told CNBC.
高三英语试题第6页(共10页)32.What is the cause of some Americans'cutting back on spending?
A.The commercial activities. B.Their social media feeds.
C.Their material satisfaction. D.The economic
downturn. 33.What is the philosophy of“underconsumption core”?
A.Spending money as you like. B.Doing more with less.
C.Keeping up with the Joneses. D.Buy Now,PayLater.
34.How does the author tell us the trend's popularity among people?
A.By giving examples. B.By making comparisons.
C.By listing numbers. D.By citing research
data. 35.What is Brett House's attitude to the “underconsumption core”trend?
A.Doubtful. B.Reserved. C.Objective. D.Disapproving.

根据短文内容，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。
About 90 percent of the world's population doesn't need to think about which hand to use
when picking up a pair of scissors. 36 .Let's take a look at some of the
myths,mysteries and history of our left-handed friends.
37 .The belief that left-handed people were witches was widespread in medieval
Europe,and they could even be killed.In fact,the word“sinister,”meaning harmful or evil,
comes from a Latin word for“on the left side.”Even in the 1960s,American children born
left-handed were forced to switch hands when writing.
There are also some interesting mysteries concerning right-or left-handed people.The
human brain is“cross-wired”with the leftbrain controlling the right side of the body and vice
versa(反 之亦然).But one University of Oxford study suggests that,in the brains of left-
handed people, the two parts are better connected. 38
Unfortunately,there are some mental health issues that can especially affect left-handed
people.According to a 2013 Yale University study,lefties seem more likely to suffer from
schizophrenia(精神分裂症). 39 .But other studies have linked the left-handed brain
with decidedly creative thinking.Though uncertain,yet with artists such as Leonardo da
Vinci,there might be some connection.
One area where lefties may have the upper hand is in sports that require quick reaction
times. 40 .Ding Ning,for example,is a left-handed table tennis champion with
three Olympic gold medals.But if there is an advantage,it's probably not a result of some
special “lefty magic.”Recent studies show that there seems to be no definite
connection being left-handed and athletic capability.
In any case,lefties,hold yoursouthpaw high and showthe world what you're made of!
高三英语试题第7页(共10页)A.Altogether,it's not a shame to be left-handed
B.Being left-handed hasn't always been accepted
C.This includes sports like baseball and table tennis
D.It is this disease that has led to their being left-handed
E.But it's not the same story for the 10 percent who are left-handed
F.Also,studies say that lefties may have an advantage in language learning
G.This serious disorder can cause people to hear voices or see things that are not real

Honesty is the best policy.But in many situations,people do not want the truth.Whether
it's a fact of life 56 a criticism of their behavior,everyone has truths they want to
ignore. These truths 57 (call)truth bombs.This metaphor shows truth can cause
damage if not 58 (handle)well,so caution should be exercised whenpointing out
difficult truths.
Sometimes we drop truth bombs out of anger.We may rationalize(合理解释)our words
by saying that we need to express our 59 (emotion)or to help change their ways.But
often we use the truth as 60 weapon to make the other person feel bad and to repay
them for what they did.
Truth bombs rarely lead to 61 (production)discussions because they trigger(触发)a
defensive reaction.Over time,truth bombs can increase conflict and weaken trust in
relationships. Also,truth bombs often fail 62 (represent)the whole truth.Anger can
make it difficult to see the big picture.
Sometimes people do need to hear hard truths.Pretending that problems do not exist can
weaken trust just as much as 63 (drop)truth bombs can.And failing to address
problems in relationships can lead to resentment(怨恨),which may eventuallyboil over into
conflict.By presenting truth and addressing problems 64 a constructive way,you can
strengthen relationships and avoid the emotional damage that comes from using 65
(over)blunt (直 言的)words.
