Isabella Osbourne’s weight loss journey is an inspiring story. For years, she’d struggled
with her weight, which often left her feeling limited in her ability to fully enjoy life. She’d
openly shared that her weight often left her feeling tired and sleepy, which affected her energy
levels and overall mood. This, together with seeing her parents and her son Wolf live healthy
lives, inspired her to lose weight. As a mother, she wanted to show Wolf the importance of
self-love and taking care of one’s body.
Isabella’s remarkable weight loss in 2025 was driven by her commitment to making
sustainable and mindful dietary changes. She included whole foods into her meals, such as
fresh fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains, and focused on meals rich in fiber and
protein, which helped limit her appetite and prevent overeating. She reduced her consumption
of processed foods and sugary drinks, opting(选择)instead for whole, nutrient-dense options.
高三英语试题 第 2页（共 8页）
She also started using smaller plates and bowls to help avoid overeating. Additionally, drinking
plenty of water throughout the day and maintaining a consistent sleep schedule supported her
overall health.
Meanwhile, Isabella kept working out regularly. Aside from jogging, running and
swimming, Isabella also included strength training into her fitness routine to build lean muscle
mass. She focused on exercises like squats, deadlifts, and resistance band workouts to target
different muscle groups. Strength training has been shown to increase resting metabolic (代谢
) rate, meaning that even at rest, the body burns more calories.
Additionally, Isabella incorporated stress management techniques into her daily routine.
She practiced mindfulness meditation (冥想) and deep-breathing exercises to stay calm and
focused. These practices not only helped her manage stress but also improved her mental
clarity and emotional resilience (适应性).
Isabella’s journey taught her the value of balance and consistency. She learned sustainable
weight loss isn’t about perfection but about making small, meaningful changes over time. By
focusing on both her physical and mental well-being, Isabella was able to create a lifestyle that
supported her goals and brought her joy.
24. What is a reason for driving Isabella to lose weight
A. Her parents’ advice. B. Her family’s healthy lives.
C. Her son’s love. D. Her medical report.
25. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. A well-structured fitness routine. B. A strong support group.
C. Isabella’s lifestyle adjustments. D. The impact of mental health.
26. What can we infer about Isabella’s exercise routine
A. It involved varied training. B. It was impossible to follow.
C. It ignored strength workouts. D. It was about quick fixes.
27. What key lesson did Isabella learn from her weight loss experience
A. The necessity of extreme diets. B. The meaning of training tools.
C. The role of professional training. D. The value of gradual changes.

To know body language better, Christina Stach, a 25-year-old healthcare provider, read
What Everybody Is Saying by Joe Navarro. “It changed how I communicated with everyone,”
she says. While approximately 80% of our interactions with each other are nonverbal(非语言
的) — from birth, our body language sends out clues to what we’re thinking, and Stach says,
“We can learn to exercise control over it.”
Becoming aware of her own body language, the physician(内 科 医 生 )recognized her
preferred way of sitting with her arms and legs crossed. While it was comfortable for her,
patients considered it discomfort with them. She found the same to be true with eye contact. “I
don’t make much eye contact with people because it makes me uncomfortable,” Stach says,
“but it makes others think I’m inattentive.”
高三英语试题 第 3页（共 8页）
Armed with the knowledge, she began uncrossing her arms and legs and making more eye
contact when in conversation, “Using positive body language helps strengthen patient
interactions, and once these habits become natural, you may notice your patients are more
receptive to your advice,” she says.
“Talking with patients at eye level is important,” Stach says. “It shows them that I’m here
to listen to what they have to say and to make joint decisions about their healthcare.” She
recommends that physicians lower their eye level as much as possible by sitting on a low chair
facing their patient while the patient remains seated on the exam table.
Eye contact is another important element. “If you’re typing notes into your computer
without looking at your patients — even if you are listening and can say everything they said,
your body says you aren’t listening,” Stach says. “And you no longer have a closed space of
attention with each other.”
Anyway, body language can send a message of care and trust, “In medicine, we’re often in
our patient’s face during a medical exam, but when talking with them, being too close may be
intrusive, especially in Western cultures where we have broader personal body comfortable
distance,” Stach notes. “But in Eastern cultures that distance is much narrower. So, when
interacting with people from these cultures, stepping back is seen as offensive(冒犯 ) — that’
s something to keep in mind.”
28. How did Christina Stach get better at using body language
A. By keeping practicing it in her family. B. By reading a related book.
C. By learning a lot from professionals. D. By communicating with patients.
29. Why did Christina Stach change her sitting posture and eye contact
A. To achieve better care results. B. To feel more personally comfortable.
C. To show her professional skills. D. To enhance her specialized knowledge.
30. What is Christina Stach’s suggestion for physicians talking with patients
A. Avoiding frequent eye contact. B. Making decisions for the patients.
C. Repeating everything the patients said. D. Positioning themselves on lowered seats.
31. What does the underlined word “intrusive” in the last paragraph mean
A. Relaxing. B. Comfortable. C. Disturbing. D. Formal.
D
As hurtful as it can be for a friend or partner to put us down, it is far worse when we find
a critic(批判者) in our own head that keeps criticizing and doubting ourselves. To break free
from the self-criticism, and achieve inner peace and self-acceptance, an extremely important
step is to understand the three “parts” of us: the inner critic, the inner victim (受害者)and the
inner observer.
The inner critic sits deeply within our sense of ourselves. That means that it — or the
seeds of it — was placed there at an early age. For example, if our parents called us stupid or
worthless as a child, it is understandable that our child-self would learn to be self-critical and
view ourselves with doubt or even shame. Since all humans are imperfect, the inner critic’s
高三英语试题 第 4页（共 8页）
message may make the inner victim “objectively” believe what the inner critic has said and feel
worthless.
On the other hand, the inner observer is a kind of self-awareness. It understands the inner
critic’s origin and motivation and, in all likelihood, would not agree with what the inner critic
has said — and might even offer a few choice words in response. For instance, it might
remind the inner victim, “Remember, even if you feel what the critic has said is true, it does
not mean that it is true.” In other words, the inner observer offers a possibility for change by
connecting with the two “parts” to help us achieve self-acceptance and inner peace.
Having recognized the dynamics among the three “parts” of us, we can start to break free
from self-criticism. First, reflect on why the child-self so often feels bad in the upsetting
present-day situations. Then, respond to the child-self’s pain with sympathy and compassion.
Once the child-self’s pain is addressed, we are able to question or even free ourselves from
self-criticism. Though it may be a long process from self-criticism to self-acceptance, in the
end, we can find greater inner peace and build a happier relationship with ourselves.
To learn more about how to comfort the child-self, let’s watch this brief video, Healing
Your Inner Child, now.
32. Which statement will the author probably agree with A. Self-doubt was born with human beings. B. The inner critic’s message is usually right. C. Parents’ criticism may have lasting effects. D. Many adults are too sensitive to criticism.
33. What is the inner observer’s most important function A. To find good excuses for the self-child.
B. To provide reliable evidence for the inner critic.
C. To help us become more sympathetic towards others. D. To challenge our false beliefs and heal us from within. 34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The journey to self-acceptance. B. The various types of self-doubting.
C. The relationship among our three “parts”. D. The benefits of dealing with self-doubting.
35. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A textbook. B. A psychology lecture.
C. An advertisement. D. An introduction to a video.

A positive attitude keeps you more active and happy. There are tips to develop a positive

things happening to you. 37
Spend some time alone. All of us need breaks. These breaks can help you spend some time
with yourself and get to know yourself better. Often when people are feeling low, they spend
time with other people to make them feel better. 38 However, as much as you talk to
other people about your feelings, you must also talk to yourself. Thus, every day, there should
be some “me time” that you spend with just yourself.
Embrace negativity with solutions. 39 Instead, accept the negative emotions, such
as sadness and anger, and give them the necessary solution.
40 We are all going to come across multiple troubles in our life. Life is not a bed
of roses. There will be bad days, and there will be good days. When you come across some not
so happening event in life, try to shift your focus to the benefits, regardless of how small or
unimportant they may seem. A. Focus on the good in life.
B. Never do anything passively.
C. Then you will stick to it for the rest of your day.
D. Moreover, a positive attitude also increases your creativity. E. Of course, speaking to someone is a great way to feel better.
F. Always remember, happiness is not a situation; it is an attitude.
G. Being positive doesn’t mean you should ignore the negative thoughts around you. 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)

Ethan was a hard-working student with a heart full of dreams, but his family’s financial
struggles cast a long shadow over his life. His clothes were worn out, and he often had to skip
lunch to save money. However, Ethan was determined to change his fate through education.
At school, Ethan was a model student. He would stay up late at night, digging into his
textbooks by the weak light of a lamp in his small room. His grades were remarkable, and he
participated actively in class discussions, always eager to learn more. Unfortunately, his
circumstances made it difficult for him to fully focus on his studies. He worried constantly
about how his family would make ends meet(收支平衡).
Mrs Harper, his English teacher, noticed Ethan’s dilemma. She saw the determination in
his eyes and the tiredness that came from his difficult home life. One day, after class, she
pulled Ethan aside. “Ethan, I see how hard you’re working. Don’t worry, things will get better,”
she said with a warm smile, patting (轻拍) him on the shoulder. Ethan was touched by her
kindness but remained doubtful about his future.
As the end-of-year exams approached, Ethan worked even harder. He spent every spare
moment in the library, studying until it closed. But then, a new problem arose. His family
could not afford the fees for the after-class study materials that were essential for the exams.
Ethan was disappointed. He felt like all his hard work was about to go to waste.
One morning, when Ethan arrived at his desk, he found an envelope. Inside were three
twenty-dollar bills and a note that read, “For your study materials. Keep up the good work.”
According to the handwriting, Ethan was sure it must be Mrs Harper who had left it for him.
With the money, Ethan bought the necessary books and study guides. He poured his heart
and soul into his studies, and his efforts paid off. He was admitted into a famous university.

A Vegetable Garden Establishment Activity
Last Sunday, our school launched an activity to create a small vegetable garden, aiming to green the
campus and enrich students’ lives. Teachers and students worked together; some turned over the soil,
some sowed seeds of vegetables, and others watered them. At the same time, some students decorated
the garden with hand-painted signs.
The activity was warmly received. Teachers saw it a rare chance to teach students knowledge in an
innovative way. Students expressed excitement about gaining some hands-on experience, considering it
a meaningful opportunity to learn about nature and teamwork. Everyone hoped that such activities could
be held more often.
（25 分）书面表达 2： One possible version:
Excited and happy, Ethan rushed to Mrs Harper’s office. “Mrs Harper!” he greeted, waving the
envelope. Mrs Harper looked up, surprise blooming into a warm smile. Ethan handed the admission
notice to her, voice shaking: “You... the envelope... why ” “Because I saw a boy who needed a light,”
she said, touching his shoulder. “Your effort gave me more than money ever could.” Ethan pulled out the
thank-you letter he’d kept for months. “I promised to repay you with hard work. Does this count ” She
laughed, “It’s the best repayment I could ask for.”
Years later, he became a teacher like Mrs Harper. In his own classroom, Ethan spotted a quiet t girl
in a worn-out sweater sweep the floor. One Monday, he left an envelope on her desk — three
twenty-dollar bills and a note: For supplies. Keep shining. When the girl found him after school,
trembling with gratitude, Ethan smiled. “Someone did this for me once,” he said. Each month, as he slips
envelopes into desks, he feels familiar warmth — like sunlight passing from one generation of
dreamers to the next.
