How you choose to raise yourself can make a big difference in how you feel, not only in your body, but about yourself and the world around you. “I had this babysitter who was a dieter,” said Dr Linda Shiue, an internal medicine physician and trained chef. “She would eat colourless, smell-less food and she was sad all the time.” That isn’t Shiue’s style. She is the first director of culinary (烹饪的) medicine at Kaiser Permanente San Francisco, where she founded Thrive Kitchen, a teaching kitchen inspired by the babysitter. Her classes show people how to use spices (香料) and herbs to flavour seasonal cuisine while following an eating pattern that supports health. “As a physician who has seen the negative effects of long-term dieting, I encourage people to reconsider their relationship to food as a source of pleasure. This can be a very arduous task considering the diet-supporting messaging that surrounds us,” Shiue said in an email. What can you do to enjoy your food?” Many of us have experienced shame or guilt around food, and a lot of that is a product of our culture and what the fashion and whole dieting industries have created,” Shiue said. “I think that most people at some point feel like, ‘Oh, I shouldn’t eat that. That’s bad for me.’ Actually, there’s no need to feel bad about food choices. Everything has to be in moderation, and that means there’s room for the occasional indulgence (放纵).” Restrictive (限制的) diets are having the opposite effect. “Research shows that the best eating plan is the one any given individual can stick with — a sustainable (可持续的) lifestyle change,” Shiue said. In Shiue’s opinion, food is more than a way to simply stay alive. “Nutrition is only one small part of food,” she said. “Food is also an expression of love and care. So enjoy your food!” 8. What inspired Dr Linda Shiue to found Thrive Kitchen? A. Her training as a chef. B. Her own eating habits and lifestyle. C. Her work as an internal medicine physician. D. Her experience with a babysitter who was a dieter. 9. What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Meaningful. B. Difficult. C. Abstract. D. Promising. 10. According to Shiue, what should people do to enjoy their food? A. Always eat what you like. B. Follow fashion and dieting trends. C. Stop judging food as good or bad. D. Completely avoid restrictive diets. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. People should eat healthy food to stay alive. B. People should reconsider the role of nutrition. C. How and what people eat affects their well-being. D. Long-term dieting has negative effects on people’s health. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了不要过度节食，要合理的选择食物，这对我们的心理和身体健康都有好处。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段关键句““I had this babysitter who was a dieter,” said Dr Linda Shiue, an internal medicine physician and trained chef. “She would eat colourless, smell-less food and she was sad all the time.” That isn’t Shiue’s style. She is the first director of culinary (烹饪的) medicine at Kaiser Permanente San Francisco, where she founded Thrive Kitchen, a teaching kitchen inspired by the babysitter. (“我有个节食者保姆，”内科医生、训练有素的厨师Linda Shiue博士说。“她会吃无色无味的食物，她总是很难过。”这不是Shiue的风格。她是旧金山凯撒医疗集团的第一位烹饪医学总监，在那里她创立了Thrive Kitchen，这是一个受保姆启发的教学厨房。)”可知，Linda Shiue博士创建Thrive Kitchen是受到了一个节食者保姆的启发，由此可知，Linda Shiue博士和一个节食者保姆相处的经历促使她创立了Thrive Kitchen。故选D项。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线单词上文“As a physician who has seen the negative effects of long-term dieting, I encourage people to reconsider their relationship to food as a source of pleasure. (作为一名已经看到长期节食负面影响的医生，我鼓励人们重新考虑他们与食物的关系，将其作为快乐的来源。)”可知，Linda Shiue博士希望人们将食物作为快乐的来源，不要执着于节食，根据画线单词下文“…considering the diet-supporting messaging that surrounds us (……考虑我们周围的节食支持信息)”可知，很多人支持节食，由此可知，Linda Shiue博士的想法可能是一项困难的任务，“Difficult”意为“困难的”，能够表达画线单词在句中所要表达的意思。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段关键句““I think that most people at some point feel like, ‘Oh, I shouldn’t eat that. That’s bad for me.’ Actually, there’s no need to feel bad about food choices. Everything has to be in moderation, and that means there’s room for the occasional indulgence (放纵).”(“我认为大多数人在某个时候都会觉得，‘哦，我不应该吃那个。这对我不好。’事实上，没有必要对食物选择感到难过。一切都必须适度，这意味着偶尔放纵一下是有空间的。”)”可知，Linda Shiue博士认为要想享受食物，就不要判食物是好是坏, 一切都必须适度，偶尔可以放纵一下，由此可知，Linda Shiue博士认为人们要想享受他们的食物，就不要评判食物是好是坏。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段内容“Whether you’re happy with your size or not, the basic fact of life is that we all have to eat. How you choose to raise yourself can make a big difference in how you feel, not only in your body, but about yourself and the world around you. (无论你对自己的体型是否满意，生活的基本事实是我们都必须吃饭。你选择如何喂养自己会对你的感受产生很大的影响，不仅是你的身体，还有你对自己和周围世界的感受。)”可知，本文主要告诉我们人们怎么吃和吃什么不仅会影响身体，也会影响自己和对周围世界的感受，即幸福感，由此可知，这篇文章的主要讲了人们怎样吃和吃什么会影响他们的健康。故选C项。 D Amazon has let out plans for a grocery shop without a checkout process, where customers will instead pay for the goods they have selected via an app. The Just Walk Out shopping experience uses the same types of technologies found in self-driving cars. The system detects when items are taken or returned to shelves and tracks them in a virtual shopping trolley (手推车). Once the shopper leaves the store, their Amazon account will be charged and receipt sent to them. “Grocery retail (零售) is a crowded business, and customers have incredibly high expectations of the Amazon brand,” said Natalie Berg, an analyst at Planet Retail. “If Amazon is going to differentiate, they’ll need to translate the fantastic customer experience that they have created online into a physical store setting. This is no easy task. Removing the traditional checkout process does exactly that.” Amazon has spent four years developing the shop. Customers will walk into the store using the Go app. It will use computer vision, sensors and deep learning algorithms (算法) to keep track of what customers are picking up off the shelves. “Despite significant investment (投资) in store technology, the checkout experience has been largely ignored,” said Ms Berg. “Retailers have made a lot of progress on mobile payments as a stand-alone option; however, very few have been successful in moving towards an entire mobile wallet and therefore solving the problem of long queues. This is where Amazon comes in.” The shop will offer ready-to-eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options made fresh every day by on-site chefs or by local kitchens and bakeries. Grocery necessities such as bread and milk will also be on sale alongside Amazon Meal Kits, with all the materials needed to make a meal for two in about 30 minutes. 12. How will customers pay for the goods in Amazon’s new grocery shop? A. By using a credit card at the exit. B. By using an app after leaving the store. C. By paying in cash at the checkout counter. D. By paying in advance before entering the store. 13. Which of the following shows how the plan works? A. Goods taken→shopping trolley→account charged. B. Account charged→shopping trolley→Goods taken. C. Shopping trolley→Goods taken→account charged. D. Goods taken→account charged→shopping trolley. 14. Why is removing the traditional checkout process important, according to Natalie Berg? A. It reduces operational costs for Amazon. B. It enables Amazon to defeat other retailers. C. It makes shopping faster and more convenient. D. It increases the variety of products offered in the store. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Amazon’s Expansion into the Food Delivery Market B. The Future of Retail: Self-Driving Technology in Stores C. Mobile Payments: The Key to Solving Long Queues in Retail D. Amazon’s New Checkout-Free Grocery Shopping Experience 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了亚马逊新开设杂货店可以让顾客通过应用程序进行付款，介绍了杂货店的工作流程以及人们对此的看法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Once the shopper leaves the store, their Amazon account will be charged and receipt sent to them.(一旦购物者离开商店，他们的亚马逊账户将被扣款，并向他们发送收据)”可知，在亚马逊的新杂货店里，顾客离开商店后使用应用程序付款。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The system detects when items are taken or returned to shelves and tracks them in a virtual shopping trolley (手推车). Once the shopper leaves the store, their Amazon account will be charged and receipt sent to them.(该系统检测商品何时被取走或放回货架，并在虚拟购物车中对其进行跟踪。一旦购物者离开商店，他们的亚马逊账户将被扣款，并向他们发送收据)”可知，程序为：取货→购物车→结账。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Retailers have made a lot of progress on mobile payments as a stand-alone option; however, very few have been successful in moving towards an entire mobile wallet and therefore solving the problem of long queues.(零售商在将移动支付作为一种独立的选择方面已经取得了很大进展；然而，很少有公司成功地实现了完全的移动钱包，从而解决了排长队的问题)”可知，娜塔莉·伯格认为，取消传统的结账流程很重要因为这使得购物更快更方便。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Amazon has let out plans for a grocery shop without a checkout process, where customers will instead pay for the goods they have selected via an app.(亚马逊计划开设一家没有结账流程的杂货店，顾客可以通过应用程序为他们选择的商品付款)”结合文章主要说明了亚马逊新开设的杂货店可以让顾客通过应用程序进行付款，介绍了杂货店的工作流程以及人们对此的看法。可知，D选项“亚马逊新的免结账购物体验”最符合文章标题。故选D。 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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The question “Who am I?” can bring on a series of thoughts, emotions, and feelings, but what if you don’t know how to answer? ____16____ Thus, feeling lost or confused about who you are is more common than you may think.

(“我是谁？”这个问题会引发一系列的想法、情绪和感受，但如果你不知道如何回答该怎么办呢？)”可知，上文提出的问题很难回答，本空应对为什么很难回答“我是谁？”对我是谁这个问题做出解释。D选项“Getting to know yourself is a life-long journey.

Our normally easygoing father was sweating terribly, said he didn’t feel well, and went to rest on the sofa. Within a matter of minutes, my mother and some neighbours were surrounding him as something was obviously wrong. Even though he insisted he just needed to rest for a few minutes, they wisely drove him to the emergency room of the nearest hospital. As they hurriedly drove away, my sisters and I looked out of the window, with great concern. We wondered if we would ever see our dad again. Later, we learned that at the young age of thirty-eight, our dad had suffered a heart attack. He would eventually recover, but needed to first stay in the hospital for two weeks. Doctors said the heart attack was stress-related. To make ends meet, as the only income earner for our family, my dad had taken on a second full-time job at a store, something he had been doing since a few months after my birth. Working two jobs had clearly damaged his body, and he would need to rest for several weeks after he was home from hospital, which meant he wouldn’t be able to work either of his jobs. When Christmas was approaching, our parents hinted (暗示) they wouldn’t give us any Christmas gift. But we didn’t feel that upset; what we mainly wished was that our dad would recover. However, we could see our parents were upset that they wouldn’t be able to send us gifts. One day, when our dad was home from hospital, two of his colleagues in the store where he worked visited us. Our dad and all his colleagues there were friendly to each other. That day, when chatting with our dad, his two colleagues suddenly smiled at us kids and asked whether Santa (圣诞老人) would visit us that year to bring us gifts and tell us holiday stories. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My sisters and I took a look at each other and stayed quiet. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My sisters and I answered the door, surprised to see Santa accompanied by two helpers. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 My sisters and I took a look at each other and stayed quiet. Our parents looked embarrassed. My eight-year-old sister hurriedly replied, “I guess Santa will be too busy to visit us this year. Well, we don’t mind.” One of the colleagues laughed and said, “Oh, I bet Santa won’t be that busy. He will visit you.” However, we kids thought he was just joking. We didn’t know that after they left, they communicated with other colleagues and decided to donate money to buy us gifts and visit us. One night, our doorbell rang. My sisters and I answered the door, surprised to see Santa accompanied by two helpers. They were standing there with many gifts. As we watched in awe, they handed us the presents. There were gifts for our whole family and even money to help cover daily expenses. After Santa had unloaded the gifts, he sat with us kids, telling us holiday stories. We had the most cheerful day ever. Before long, our dad recovered, and I eventually found out who Santa and his helpers were. I felt so thankful and touched that even in the hardest of times, kindness and generosity could find their way to us. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述六岁时父亲心脏病发作住院，因工作劳累需休息无法工作。圣诞节将至，父母暗示无礼物，父亲同事询问圣诞老人是否来访。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我和姐妹们面面相觑，沉默不语。”可知，此段可描述孩子们和父母的反应，同事的回应，以及同事离开后他们的后续行动。 ②由第二段首句内容“我和姐妹们打开门，惊讶地看到圣诞老人带着两个助手站在那里。”可知，此段可讲述圣诞老人送礼物、讲故事，孩子们度过快乐时光，以及作者后来知晓真相的感受。 2. 续写线索：同事询问——孩子沉默——同事决定送礼物——圣诞老人来访——孩子感动 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①回答：reply/answer ②认为：guess/think ③决定：decide/resolve/make up one’s mind 情绪类 ①尴尬的：embarrassed/awkward ②感动的：touched/moved 【点睛】[高分句型1] We didn’t know that after they left, they communicated with other colleagues and decided to donate money to buy us gifts and visit us.(运用了that引导的宾语从句和after引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型2] As we watched in awe, they handed us the presents.(运用了as引导时间状语从句) 1-5BCBBA 6-10ACBAC 11-15 ACBBB 16-20BCACA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二年级考试 英语试题 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并收回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B At the recent Tech Innovators Challenge, several student teams showed their creative projects. Team EduAI, which developed an AI-powered education software that personalizes learning, secured the first position. They received ₦500,000 in prize money. Speaking for the team, Adekun le shared their inspiration: “We couldn’t find satisfactory answers from other apps during an exam, so we created our own software. It uses AI to help users understand topics better. For example, if someone struggles with a topic, the software adapts to make learning easier.” In second place, Team Brainstorm earned ₦350,000 for designing AI-integrated sensor glasses for those with low vision. Third place went to Team ConnectEdu, who created a student communication app with embedded (嵌入的) security features, receiving ₦150, 000. Meanwhile, Team TechQueen and Team Robotech, who developed a tourism location app and a goods delivery drone (无人机) respectively, took fourth and fifth places. Mrs. Ikusemi Oyeronke, the Head of the Technology Department at Dansol High School, explained that the competition aimed to prepare students for the labour market by developing creativity and problem-solving skills. “It’s not just about technical knowledge but also about learning to create practical and market-ready solutions,” she said. “Seeing our students transform their ideas into impactful projects has been incredibly rewarding.” One of the judges, Mr. Lanre Ogundipe, CEO of PaveHQ, praised the students’ efforts. “The level of innovation was impressive. While prizes were given, everyone here is a winner. We plan to support some of these projects to turn them into real-world solutions,” he stated. Beyond the competition the winning teams expressed their desires to improve their projects further. Team EduAI hopes to better their software to help students globally, while Team Brainstorm plans to cooperate with organizations serving people with low vision. The event served not only as a platform for showing talent but also as an opportunity to inspire the next generation of innovators. 4. Why did Team EduAI create their software? A.

C Whether you’re happy with your size or not, the basic fact of life is that we all have to eat. How you choose to raise yourself can make a big difference in how you feel, not only in your body, but about yourself and the world around you. “I had this babysitter who was a dieter,” said Dr Linda Shiue, an internal medicine physician and trained chef. “She would eat colourless, smell-less food and she was sad all the time.” That isn’t Shiue’s style. She is the first director of culinary (烹饪的) medicine at Kaiser Permanente San Francisco, where she founded Thrive Kitchen, a teaching kitchen inspired by the babysitter. Her classes show people how to use spices (香料) and herbs to flavour seasonal cuisine while following an eating pattern that supports health. “As a physician who has seen the negative effects of long-term dieting, I encourage people to reconsider their relationship to food as a source of pleasure. This can be a very arduous task considering the diet-supporting messaging that surrounds us,” Shiue said in an email. What can you do to enjoy your food?” Many of us have experienced shame or guilt around food, and a lot of that is a product of our culture and what the fashion and whole dieting industries have created,” Shiue said. “I think that most people at some point feel like, ‘Oh, I shouldn’t eat that. That’s bad for me.’ Actually, there’s no need to feel bad about food choices. Everything has to be in moderation, and that means there’s room for the occasional indulgence (放纵).” Restrictive (限制的) diets are having the opposite effect. “Research shows that the best eating plan is the one any given individual can stick with — a sustainable (可持续的) lifestyle change,” Shiue said. In Shiue’s opinion, food is more than a way to simply stay alive. “Nutrition is only one small part of food,” she said. “Food is also an expression of love and care. So enjoy your food!” 8. What inspired Dr Linda Shiue to found Thrive Kitchen? A. Her training as a chef. B. Her own eating habits and lifestyle. C. Her work as an internal medicine physician. D. Her experience with a babysitter who was a dieter. 9. What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Meaningful. B. Difficult. C. Abstract. D. Promising. 10. According to Shiue, what should people do to enjoy their food? A. Always eat what you like. B. Follow fashion and dieting trends. C. Stop judging food as good or bad. D. Completely avoid restrictive diets. 11 What is the main idea of the passage? A. People should eat healthy food to stay alive. B. People should reconsider the role of nutrition. C. How and what people eat affects their well-being. D Long-term dieting has negative effects on people’s health. D Amazon has let out plans for a grocery shop without a checkout process, where customers will instead pay for the goods they have selected via an app. The Just Walk Out shopping experience uses the same types of technologies found in self-driving cars. The system detects when items are taken or returned to shelves and tracks them in a virtual shopping trolley (手推车). Once the shopper leaves the store, their Amazon account will be charged and receipt sent to them. “Grocery retail (零售) is a crowded business, and customers have incredibly high expectations of the Amazon brand,” said Natalie Berg, an analyst at Planet Retail. “If Amazon is going to differentiate, they’ll need to translate the fantastic customer experience that they have created online into a physical store setting. This is no easy task. Removing the traditional checkout process does exactly that.” Amazon has spent four years developing the shop. Customers will walk into the store using the Go app. It will use computer vision sensors and deep learning algorithms (算法) to keep track of what customers are picking up off the shelves. “Despite significant investment (投资) in store technology, the checkout experience has been largely ignored,” said Ms Berg. “Retailers have made a lot of progress on mobile payments as a stand-alone option; however, very few have been successful in moving towards an entire mobile wallet and therefore solving the problem of long queues. This is where Amazon comes in.” The shop will offer ready-to-eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options made fresh every day by on-site chefs or by local kitchens and bakeries. Grocery necessities such as bread and milk will also be on sale alongside Amazon Meal Kits, with all the materials needed to make a meal for two in about 30 minutes. 12. How will customers pay for the goods in Amazon’s new grocery shop? A. By using a credit card at the exit. B. By using an app after leaving the store. C By paying in cash at the checkout counter. D. By paying in advance before entering the store. 13. Which of the following shows how the plan works? A. Goods taken→shopping trolley→account charged. B. Account charged→shopping trolley→Goods taken. C. Shopping trolley→Goods taken→account charged. D. Goods taken→account charged→shopping trolley. 14. Why is removing the traditional checkout process important, according to Natalie Berg? A. It reduces operational costs for Amazon. B. It enables Amazon to defeat other retailers. C. It makes shopping faster and more convenient. D. It increases the variety of products offered in the store. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Amazon’s Expansion into the Food Delivery Market B. The Future of Retail: Self-Driving Technology in Stores C. Mobile Payments: The Key to Solving Long Queues in Retail D.

Our normally easygoing father was sweating terribly, said he didn’t feel well, and went to rest on the sofa. Within a matter of minutes, my mother and some neighbours were surrounding him as something was obviously wrong. Even though he insisted he just needed to rest for a few minutes, they wisely drove him to the emergency room of the nearest hospital. As they hurriedly drove away, my sisters and I looked out of the window, with great concern. We wondered if we would ever see our dad again. Later, we learned that at the young age of thirty-eight, our dad had suffered a heart attack. He would eventually recover, but needed to first stay in the hospital for two weeks. Doctors said the heart attack was stress-related. To make ends meet, as the only income earner for our family, my dad had taken on a second full-time job at a store, something he had been doing since a few months after my birth. Working two jobs had clearly damaged his body, and he would need to rest for several weeks after he was home from hospital, which meant he wouldn’t be able to work either of his jobs. When Christmas was approaching, our parents hinted (暗示) they wouldn’t give us any Christmas gift. But we didn’t feel that upset; what we mainly wished was that our dad would recover. However, we could see our parents were upset that they wouldn’t be able to send us gifts. One day, when our dad was home from hospital, two of his colleagues in the store where he worked visited us. Our dad and all his colleagues there were friendly to each other. That day, when chatting with our dad, his two colleagues suddenly smiled at us kids and asked whether Santa (圣诞老人) would visit us that year to bring us gifts and tell us holiday stories. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My sisters and I took a look at each other and stayed quiet. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My sisters and I answered the door, surprised to see Santa accompanied by two helpers. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5BCBBA 6-10ACBAC 11-15 ACBBB 16-20BCACA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
