I used to believe that only words could catch the essence of the human soul. The literary
works contained such distinct stories that they shaped the way we saw the world. Words were
高三英语试题 第 3 页 共 11 页
what composed the questions we sought to uncover and the answers to those questions
themselves. Words were everything.
That belief changed.
In an ordinary math class, my teacher posed a simple question: What's 0. 99 rounded to
the nearest whole number? Easy. When rounded to the nearest whole number, 0. 99 =1.
Somehow, I thought even though 0. 99 is only 0. 01 away from 1, there's still a 0. 01
difference. That means even if two things are only a little different, they are still different, so
doesn't that make them completely different?
My teacher answered my question by presenting another equation （等式）： 1= 0. 9,
which could also be expressed as 1=0. 99999… repeating itself without ever ending.
There was something mysterious but fascinating about the equation. The left side was
unchangeable, objective: it contained a number that ended. On the right was something
endless, number repeating itself limitless times. Yet, somehow, these two opposed things were
connected by an equal sign.
Lying in bed, I thought about how much the equation paralleled our existence. The left
side of the equation represents that sometimes life itself is so unchangeable and so clear. The
concrete, whole number of the day when you were born and the day when you would die. But
then there is that gap in between life and death. The right side means a time and space full of
limitless possibilities, and endless opportunities into the open future.
So that's what life is. Objective but imaginative. Unchangeable but limitless. Life is an
equation with two sides that balances itself out. Still, we can't ever truly seem to put the
perfect words to it. So possibly numbers can express ideas as equally well as words can. For
now, let's leave it at that: 1= 0. 99999. . . and live a life like it.
24. What does the author emphasize about words in paragraph 1?
A. Their wide variety. B. Their literary origins.
C. Their expressive power. D. Their distinct sounds.
25. What made the author find the equation fascinating?
A. The repetition of a number. B. The difference between the two numbers.
C. The question the teacher raised. D. The way two different numbers are equal.
26. Which of the following can replace the underlined word paralleled in paragraph 6?
A. measured. B. composed. C. mirrored. D. influenced.
27. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. The Perfect Equation B. Numbers Build Equations
C. An Attractive Question D. Words Outperform Numbers

In 1835, William Talbot finally succeeded in producing a photograph of his country
house. He declared that his was the first house ever known to have drawn its own picture. The
drawing was formed“by the action of light upon sensitive paper. ” Photography offered nature
a “pencil” to paint herself through optical （光学的） and chemical means alone.
By the mid-nineteenth century, people no longer needed to hire a draftsman to draw
detailed images because the process could be completed instantly with a camera. Advocates
for the technology stated that not only was it more precise than the human hand-it was faster
and cheaper.
The removal of human fallibility in the creating process was one of photography’s
biggest selling points, but this also started debates about the new medium’s implications for
visual culture. Could images made largely by a machine be considered art? If so，where did
human creativity fit in this process?
As the twenty-first century becomes increasingly automated（自动化的），more and more
people attempt to identify where human agency exists in the technologically driven world.
Images generated with artificial intelligence by companies like OpenAI are stimulating
questions like those that emerged with the coming of the photograph. By typing a sentence,
users can generate “new” images composed from images collected across the internet. The
result has been a flood of AI-generated images in places that are previously unique to human
authors. Painting competitions, commercial graphic design and the fashion of portraiture（肖
像）have all since collided with the technology in troubling ways.
The fine arts were thought to be a final hold-out of human creativity, but the surprisingly
high quality of AI-generated images is producing deeper questions about the nature of
originality. If the history of photography tells us anything, it’s that the debate won’t be settled
quickly, straightforwardly or by the institutions we typically associate with cultural
gatekeeping.
28. Why did Talbot declare that his house had drawn its own picture?
A. To downplay human factors in the creation.
B. To investigate a supernatural phenomenon.
C. To show his advanced knowledge in science.
D. To demonstrate the beauty of his country house.
29. What does the word “it”underlined in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The photo of Talbot’s house. B. The image by a draftsman.
C. The technology of a camera. D. The paper sensitive to light.
高三英语试题 第 5 页 共 11 页
30. What do OpenAI and cameras have in common?
A. They improve the taste of beauty. B. They advocate fashion designs.
C. They challenge human agency. D. They produce original images.
31. What did the author indicate by referring to the history of photography?
A. Cultural gatekeepers will solve the issue as they did.
B. AI-generated images will go through a similar debate.
C. The nature of originality will be held in human hands.
D. The fine arts will include photography and AI images.

In order to meet growing food production and energy needs in low-and middle-income
countries, solar-powered groundwater irrigation is rapidly gaining ground. More than 500，
000 solar pumps（泵）have been set up in south Asia over the last few years and a major
expansion is planned across sub-Saharan Africa.
Dustin Garrick, professor in the School of Environment, Resources and Sustainability,
along with an international team, examined the trend toward solar pumps as a clear
opportunity for boosting agricultural yields and reducing poverty, but the opportunity comes
with risks.
While replacing electric or gas pumps with solar-powered irrigation holds the promise of
reducing carbon emissions, it is not guaranteed. Farmers who have access to these pumps may
expand production of crops or diversify into other activities, which are not emissions neutral.
Solar pumps will increase groundwater pumping efficiency, which may be desirable in
regions that support such increases, but this could worsen groundwater lessening in regions
that are already stressed. The cheap clean energy of solar pumps may lead to increased
groundwater development, without necessarily decreasing overall emissions.
Despite these challenges, the clean-energy boost can serve as a stimulus for positive
change in water and energy management but will require enhanced regulation and planning in
both low-and high-income settings. Garrick and his team advocate for improved data
collection initiatives, with a shift from separated to integrated approaches. They suggest using
technology to measure water pumping and collecting remotely sensed data to monitor land
use changes. As well，regulatory improvements are crucial, with mounting limits for carbon
emissions and groundwater lessening established at various levels.
With groundwater management already a difficult challenge, we must act fast to
understand the implications of the clean energy boost and poverty reduction acts to avoid
these gains being won away by wells running dry. The rapid adoption of solar irrigation
intensifies the urgency, demanding adaptation from governments and institutions to sail
高三英语试题 第 6 页 共 11 页
through these complexities.
32. According to paragraph 3, there is a conflict between ______
A. poor farmers and solar-powered irrigation
B. human consumption and clean energy limits
C. crop diversity and crop production expansion
D. pumping efficiency and groundwater exhaustion
33. What did Garrick and his team suggest for a positive change?
A. Integrating data collection and regulation.
B. Improving carbon emission monitoring.
C. Separating data for land use changes．
D. Establishing groundwater levels．
34. What does the author propose the readers do?
A. Perform as the authorities suggest.
B. Act based on further understanding.
C. Quicken the adoption of solar irrigation.
D. Challenge the groundwater management.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Complexities of Adopting Solar Pumps
B. Solar-Powered Irrigation：Farmers’New Future
C. The Promise and Risks of Solar-Powered Irrigation
D. Balancing Clean Energy Boost and Poverty Reduction

39 Take note of how you respond to people, what makes you happy, and what
makes you unhappy. This can help you identify patterns that are holding you back, such as
feeling insecure or being easily angered. Once you’ve identified these patterns, you can work
to change them.
An often overlooked yet very important factor in self-discovery is having healthy
boundaries in your personal life. 40 Clearly communicating your boundaries is also a
way to show others that you are in control of your own behavior and can expect the same
from them. This is a sign of maturity and respect, two characteristics that are key to having
healthy relationships.
A. It’s one thing to know your personality type.
B. It’s a great way to show that you care about others.
C. Taking time for ourselves has been looked down upon.
D. Another way is to observe your behavior in different situations.
E. It allows you to focus on the needs of yourself without ignoring others.
F. But try not to get caught up in the criticism or judgment of your writing.
G. It’s about understanding your inner world and how you fit into the outer world.

This winter holiday, my classmates and I played the game called drum topping. Eight
students tried to control a drum by pulling strings attaching to it and bounce a ball on top of
them at the same time. With the ball bouncing on the drum, our feelings rose and fell down
with eagerness. It was much tough than expected as it called for quick reaction and perfect
cooperation. Everyone was clumsy at first, and we gradually got the trick of determining the
ball's drop locations and what to control the ball. We have fun with the game. However, what
mattered most was we learned from failure and finished our task perfect through teamwork in
the end.
