2025—2026学年度第一学期三校联考高三英语科试题 第一部分 阅读理解 (共两节,满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。 A The Future of Clean Energy in Homes Heating, cooling, and powering homes contribute significantly to global CO2 emissions. As nations strive to reduce their carbon footprints, residential energy use — responsible for nearly 20% of energy-related emissions — poses unique challenges. Below is the 2022 breakdown of household emissions by source. ELECTRICITY 52% HEATING 28% COOLING 12% APPLIANCES 6% LIGHTING 2% Clean energy solutions for homes must be affordable, efficient, and adaptable to diverse climates. While technologies vary, here are key innovations driving the shift toward sustainability. HEAT PUMPS — Efficient Heating/Cooling Replacing gas boilers, electric heat pumps transfer warmth from air or ground, cutting heating emissions by 50%. Hybrid models, hopefully, might be able to work in sub-zero temperatures in the near future. SMART GRIDS(电网) — Dynamic Electricity Management AI-powered grids optimize energy use, storing surplus solar power during peak hours and reducing reliance on fossil-fuel backups. SOLAR PANELS — Rooftop Revolution Solar energy is the most accessible renewable source for households. Advances in photovoltaic cells have cut costs by 80% since 2010, making them viable in numerous regions. WIND TURBINES — Community Microgrids Small-scale turbines(涡轮机) in windy areas can power neighborhoods, though land use debates persist. “The scale of this transition is staggering,” says Dr. Elena Torres, a climate scientist at MIT. “Residential renewables like solar and heat pumps could meet 90% of global household demand by 2050 — but only if investments triple within this decade.” Recent studies show that every $1 invested in green homes today saves $5 in future climate adaptation costs. This isn’t just an environmental imperative; it’s economically inevitable. 21. Which two categories combined account for 80% of total household emissions A. Heating and Cooling. B. Electricity and Heating. C. Appliances and Lighting. D. Cooling and Appliances. 22. Which technology is highlighted as cost-effective for diverse climates A. Heat pumps. B. Smart grids. C. Solar panels. D. Wind turbines. 23. What does Dr. Torres emphasize about the energy transition A. The need for higher investment. B. The increase in solar efficiency. C. The dominance of gas boilers. D. The breakthrough in heat pump technology. B In the quiet oil town of Drumright, Oklahoma-where the highway passes by empty shops and the population is just under 3,000—Sarah Hagan is rewriting the rules of math education． The 25-year-old teacher, who turned down opportunities in bigger cities, now spends her days in a once-worn-out classroom at Drumright High School, earning barely $30,000 a year. “When they offered me the job in April before graduation, I just said 'yes',” recall ... ...
