They had just moved back to Iceland from the United States and were struggling with jet lag (时差). When his three-year-old son wanted a drink from a corner store, Halli faced a problem: a 20-centimetre step blocked his wheelchair from entering the store. This was not new to Halli, who has used a wheelchair since age 25 due to a muscle disease. As he waited outside, he thought about how often he had been excluded from places like restaurants and stores because they were not accessible. Halli, a successful digital designer, had lived in many cities worldwide and noticed how differently they approached accessibility. After selling his company, Ueno, to Twitter (now X), he decided to use his resources to make Iceland more wheelchair-friendly. In 2021, he launched Ramp (斜坡) Up Reykjavik, a non-profit project aiming to build 100 permanent ramps in the city’s downtown within a year. Unlike temporary ramps in other cities, these were designed to fit perfectly with the buildings, making them look like they had always been there. With government funding and sponsors, the project went beyond its goal and expanded nationwide. By 2026, the team plans to build 1,500 ramps across Iceland, costing about 400 million Icelandic krona. Iceland’s president praised the project, saying, “We want our society to be inclusive. Halli has shown us how easy it is to make a difference when we work together.” In just three years, Halli has become a local hero, known as a “kind tech giant”. He hopes his work inspires others. Recently, a woman built a ramp at her home so her wheelchair-using friend could visit easily. “Equal access is not a reality yet,” he says, “but change starts with one person.” 4. What inspired Halli to start the ‘Ramp Up Reykjavik’ project? A. The lack of wheelchair access. B. His son’s difficulty in finding a drink. C. A suggestion from Iceland’s president. D. His desire to become famous in Iceland. 5. How are the ramps built by ‘Ramp Up Reykjavik’ different from those in other cities? A. They are cheap to construct. B. They are only built in downtown. C. They are temporary and movable. D. They look fitted with the buildings forever. 6. Which of the following best describes Halli? A. Generous and patient. B. Positive and energetic. C. Smart and hardworking. D. Inspiring and pioneering. 7. What dose Halli expect people to do about equal access? A. Go ahead to start from small. B. Build ramps in every city. C. Appeal to government for funds. D. Raise awareness through media. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了Halli因肌肉疾病使用轮椅，在回到冰岛后面临诸多不便，于是他决定利用自己的资源发起“Ramp Up Reykjavik”非营利项目，旨在为雷克雅未克市中心建造永久斜坡，以方便轮椅通行。他的行动证明了共同努力可以使社会更加包容。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“As he waited outside, he thought about how often he had been excluded from places like restaurants and stores because they were not accessible. (当他等在外面时，他想到自己经常被排除在餐馆和商店等场所之外，因为这些场所不方便轮椅进出。)”以及第三段中的“After selling his company, Ueno, to Twitter (now X), he decided to use his resources to make Iceland more wheelchair-friendly. (在将自己的公司Ueno卖给Twitter（现为X）后，他决定利用自己的资源让冰岛更加适合轮椅出行。)”可知，是缺乏轮椅通道激发了哈利启动“Ramp Up Reykjavik”项目。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“Unlike temporary ramps in other cities, these were designed to fit perfectly with the buildings, making them look like they had always been there. (与其他城市的临时斜坡不同，这些斜坡被设计成与建筑物完美契合，看起来就像它们一直存在一样。)”可知，“Ramp Up Reykjavik”建造的斜坡与其他城市的斜坡不同的是它们看起来与建筑物融为一体。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“Halli, a successful digital designer, had lived in many cities worldwide and noticed how differently they approached accessibility. After selling his company, Ueno, to Twitter (now X), he decided to use his resources to make Iceland more wheelchair-friendly. (哈利是一位成功的数字设计师，他在世界各地的许多城市生活过，并注意到它们在无障碍设施方面的巨大差异。在将自己的公司Ueno卖给Twitter（现为X）后，他决定利用自己的资源让冰岛更加适合轮椅出行。)”以及最后一段中“He hopes his work inspires others. Recently, a woman built a ramp at her home so her wheelchair-using friend could visit easily.  (他希望他的工作能激励他人。最近，一位妇女在家里修了一个坡道，这样她坐轮椅的朋友就可以方便地来了。)”可知，Halli决定利用自己的资源让冰岛更加适合轮椅出行，旨在让冰岛变得更加包容，同时他的工作激励了其他人，比如那位为轮椅朋友在家中建造坡道的女性。由此表明，Halli是一个有启发性且富有开创精神的人。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“‘Equal access is not a reality yet,’ he says, ‘but change starts with one person.’ (他说：“平等无障碍还未成为现实，但改变始于个人。”)”可知，Halli期望人们从小事做起实现平等无障碍。故选A项。 C Animal products could produce electricity, one British power company warns — and to give consumers a choice, it’s offering what it calls the world’s first vegan electricity. Ecotricity, a renewable energy provider in the U.K. , announced its electricity and gas would be certified vegan after it claimed half of British homes are powered by electricity made from animal byproducts. Company founder Dale Vince accused companies that consider themselves “ ethical” or “green” of keeping consumers in the dark about their “secret ingredient.” “We need clear labeling of energy sourcing so that people can make informed choices,” he said in a statement. The company offers “vegan energy” in wind and solar power, and it’s developing “sea power” produced by wave oscillation and marine currents. None of Ecotricity’s electrical sources contains animal byproducts that the company knew of before it made the announcement, but it registered with the Vegan Society to certify its green status. Though not widely open, it’s fairly common for power companies to get electricity from animals through anaerobic digestion (厌氧消化). Animal waste is generally considered a clean, renewable energy source. Turning manure (肥料) into fuel eliminates a sizeable chunk of carbon pollution and lessens power companies’ reliance on “dirtier” fossil fuels like coal and oil. Plus, animals provide a limitless supply of waste, while Earth’s natural gas stores are finite, so crackers wouldn’t need to drill into rock to extract it. Cows are pictured at a Wagyu cattle breeding center in June in Petit-Mars, France. A U.K. energy company announced the first “vegan electricity” after warning consumers about animal byproducts in energy production, After anaerobic digestion, farmers can use the liquid remains of the manure as fertilizer and make chips for animal bedding from the solid leftovers, chemical engineer DavidSimakov told Popular Science. “We are talking about producing the amount of renewable natural gas enough to heat thousands of homes from just a single large landfill site,” he said. “We need to stop pumping carbon from underground into the atmosphere and start caring about introducing more and more renewable energy to make our lives more sustainable.” Renewable energy only accounts for 11 percent of energy consumption in the U. S. , according to the Energy Information Administration. Fossil fuels and nuclear energy generate more than 80 percent of the country’s electricity, and that’s unlikely to change: like other clean energy sources, anacrobic digestion is still more expensive than traditional sources of energy. 8. According to Dale Vince, ____________. A. vegan electricity and gas shouldn’t use animal byproducts B. it’s not certain whether Ecotricity has used animal byproducts C. it’s necessary for consumers to know how electricity is produced D. people don’t need to make choices of whether to use vegan electricity 9. In Paragraph 2, “secret ingredient” refers to ____________. A. animal waste B. vegan energy C. an energy provider D. energy labeling 10. What can be inferred from the passage? A. It’s forbidden to get exploited natural gas since it is limited. B. Clean energy may not replace fossil fuels to be used by families. C. Power companies can rely on animal waste to produce clean energy. D. The waste of cows is first used to produce clean energy in the world. 11. What does the author think of clean energy? A. It has been a mainstream. B. It has a promising future. C. Consumers tend to use more clean energy now. D. Its producing cost has decreased its popularity. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。报道了一家英国可再生能源供应商Ecotricity推出的全球首个“vegan electricity”，并讨论了能源生产中动物副产品的问题，以及厌氧消化在能源生产中的应用。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Company founder Dale Vince accused companies that consider themselves ‘ethical’ or ‘green’ of keeping consumers in the dark about their ‘secret ingredient.’ ‘We need clear labeling of energy sourcing so that people can make informed choices,’ he said in a statement.(公司创始人Dale Vince指责那些自认为‘有道德’或‘环保’的公司对消费者的‘秘密成分’一无所知。他在一份声明中说：‘我们需要清晰的能源来源标签，这样人们才能做出明智的选择。’)”可知，Dale Vince认为消费者有必要知道电是如何产生的，故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“it claimed half of British homes are powered by electricity made from animal byproducts(一半的英国家庭使用动物副产品发电)”和划线词下文“We need clear labeling of energy sourcing so that people can make informed choices(我们需要清晰的能源来源标签，这样人们才能做出明智的选择)”可知，“秘密成分”是指发电使用的动物副产品，即动物粪便，故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Fossil fuels and nuclear energy generate more than 80 percent of the country’s electricity, and that’s unlikely to change: like other clean energy sources, anacrobic digestion is still more expensive than traditional sources of energy.(化石燃料和核能占全国电力的80%以上，而且这种情况不太可能改变：像其他清洁能源一样，厌氧消化仍然比传统能源更昂贵)”可推知，清洁能源可能不会取代家庭使用的化石燃料，故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Fossil fuels and nuclear energy generate more than 80 percent of the country’s electricity, and that’s unlikely to change: like other clean energy sources, anacrobic digestion is still more expensive than traditional sources of energy.(化石燃料和核能占全国电力的80%以上，而且这种情况不太可能改变：像其他清洁能源一样，厌氧消化仍然比传统能源更昂贵)”可知，化石燃料和核能占全国电力的80%以上，而且这种情况不太可能改变，是因为清洁能源价格比传统能源更昂贵。由此推知，清洁能源的生产成本降低了它的普及，故选D。 D The hero’s journey — this timeless narrative (叙述) structure, first described by the American writer Joseph Campbell in 1949, is found in historical stories, such as the Odyssey, and modern favorites, including the Harry Potter. Many hero’s journey stories have become cultural touchstones that influence how people think about their world and themselves. To explore the connection between people’s life stories and the hero’s journey, we had our first study. We collected life stories from 1, 200 people in Chicago. We used sets of questions to measure the storytelling participants’ sense of meaning in life, amount of life satisfaction and level of depression. We then examined these stories for the seven elements of the hero’s journey; a lead role, a shift of circumstances, a long search, a challenge, an association, a personal transformation and a resulting legacy (遗产). In our first study, we found that people who had more hero’s journey elements in their life stories reported more meaning in life, more happiness and less depression. We also found that hero’s journey narratives provided more benefits, often including a “redemptive” narrative, where a person’s life story goes from defeat to victory. We then wondered whether adjusting one’s life story to be more “heroic” would increase feelings of meaning in life. We developed a “restorying” intervention in which we urged people to retell their stories as a hero’s journey. Participants first identified each of the seven elements in their life, and then we encouraged them to put these pieces together and form a logical narrative. In another study with more than 1,700 participants, we confirmed that this restorying intervention worked; it helped people see their life as a hero’s journey, which in turn made that life feel more meaningful. Intervention recipients (接受者) also reported greater life satisfaction and became more adaptable in the face of personal challenges. Besides, these intervention recipients saw difficulties more positively and dealt with them more creatively in their later life. So, though you may never save the world on a massive scale, you could save yourself and become a hero in the context of your own life. 12. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about? A. What the study showed. B. Why the study was conducted. C. How the study was carried out. D. Whether the study was a success. 13. What can be inferred from the first study? A. Hero’s journey elements promote well-being. B. Hero’s journey narratives offer no advantages. C. A hero’s life story must go from defeat to success. D. A personal transformation may make life meaningless. 14. How did the participants benefit from the restorying intervention? A. They created a better public image. B. They became more responsible individuals. C. They developed a deeper sense of purpose in life. D. They shaped a more optimistic approach to hardship. 15. What is the most suitable title for the text? A. An Exciting Life Story Leads to a Hero’s Journey B. A Meaningful Life Comes From a Hero’s Journey C. To Lead a Meaningful Life, Become Your Own Hero D. To Become Your Own Hero, Read more Hero Stories 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是通过将个人生活故事重构为英雄之旅，如何提升个体的生活意义感、幸福感及应对挑战的能力，进而改善心理健康状态的研究发现。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“To explore the connection between people’s life stories and the hero’s journey, we had our first study. We collected life stories from 1, 200 people in Chicago. We used sets of questions to measure the storytelling participants’ sense of meaning in life, amount of life satisfaction and level of depression. We then examined these stories for the seven elements of the hero’s journey ; a lead role, a shift of circumstances, a long search, a challenge, an association, a personal transformation and a resulting legacy (遗产).(为了探索人们的生活故事与英雄之旅之间的联系，我们进行了第一次研究。我们在芝加哥收集了1200个人的生活故事。我们使用一系列问题来衡量讲述故事的参与者对生活意义的感受、生活满意度的水平和抑郁的程度。然后，我们检查了这些故事是否包含了英雄之旅的七个元素：主角、环境的变化、长时间的寻找、挑战、关联、个人转变以及最终留下的遗产)”可知，第二段主要讲了收集来自芝加哥1200人的生活故事，用一些问题来测量参与者对生活意义的感受等，还介绍了检查这些故事中英雄之旅的七个元素的相关情况。由此可知，第二段阐述研究是如何开展的。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“In our first study, we found that people who had more hero’s journey elements in their life stories reported more meaning in life, more happiness and less depression.(在我们的第一次研究中，我们发现那些在生活中包含更多英雄之旅元素的人报告说他们的生活更有意义，更加幸福，抑郁程度也更低)”可知，根据研究发现，生活中包含更多英雄之旅元素的人说生活更有意义、更快乐、抑郁程度更低。由此可知，英雄之旅的元素有助于提升幸福感。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Intervention recipients (接受者) also reported greater life satisfaction and became more adaptable in the face of personal challenges. Besides, these intervention recipients saw difficulties more positively and dealt with them more creatively in their later life.(干预接受者还报告了更高的生活满意度，并在面对个人挑战时变得更加适应。此外，这些干预接受者在后来的生活中更积极地看待困难，并以更有创造性的方式处理它们)”可知，接受干预的参与者能更积极地看待困难，并更有创造性的方式处理这些困难。由此可知，接受干预的参与者形成了一种更乐观的方法来面对困难。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是尾段中的“So, though you may never save the world on a massive scale, you could save yourself and become a hero in the context of your own life.(因此，尽管你可能永远不会在全球范围内拯救世界，但你可以在自己的生活中拯救自己，成为自己生活中的英雄。)”可知，文章先是讲了英雄之旅相关研究发现，然后介绍通过干预让人们把自己生活故事重构成英雄之旅的情况及好处，最后点明虽不能大规模拯救世界，但能在自己生活中成为英雄，所以，C项“要过上有意义的生活，成为自己的英雄”概括了文章的核心思想，适合作为最佳标题。故选C项。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The teenage years are marked by intense changes — physical, social, emotional, and developmental — that can be difficult to deal with at times.____16____ As you grow older, conflicts with family often increase, mainly due to the desire for more independence. Peer (同龄人) pressure also plays a major role, as teenagers are more likely to be influenced by friends while testing boundaries and seeking autonomy. Conflicts during this time can also arise from the intensity of your emotions and your evolving ability to think abstractly. As you work on forming your individual identity, you may become more focused on the world around you, trying to make sense of your own feelings and form opinions on various issues. ____17____ As your outlook changes, these struggles may make it more difficult to navigate relationships with family and cope with peer pressure. While conflicts are a natural part of this stage of life, there are ways to manage and resolve them productively. ____18____By expressing your thoughts and feelings clearly, you can prevent misunderstandings and build mutual respect. Equally important is active listening — understanding others’ outlook can help you find common ground and reach a resolution. ____19____Staying calm allows you to think more clearly and avoid worsening emotions. Techniques such as deep breathing or temporarily stepping away from the situation can help manage intense feelings. Additionally, turning to trusted adults or peers who have faced similar challenges can help you gain practical strategies for managing emotions. While conflicts are a normal part of growing up, they can also be opportunities for personal development and self-discovery.____20____ A. Emotional regulation is also essential. B. The most effective strategy is communication. C. These conflicts are caused by misunderstandings. D. With so much going on, it’s no surprise conflicts often arise. E. This process can lead to internal and external struggles as you grow. F. Take it positively, and you can resolve conflicts and boost your growth. G. Recognizing the signs helps you become more aware next time a conflict emerges. 【答案】16. D 17. E 18. B 19. A 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了青少年时期会经历与他人的冲突以及如何有效管理和解决这些冲突。 【16题详解】 上文“The teenage years are marked by intense changes — physical, social, emotional, and developmental — that can be difficult to deal with at times.(青少年时期的特点是剧烈的变化——身体上的、社会上的、情感上的和发展上的——这些变化有时很难处理)”提到青少年经历的剧烈变化有时很难处理，下文“As you grow older, conflicts with family often increase, mainly due to the desire for more independence.(随着年龄的增长，与家人的冲突往往会增加，主要是由于想要更多的独立)”提到与家人的冲突，故空处应是将变化和冲突联系起来，D项“有这么多事情要做，冲突经常出现也就不足为奇了”符合语境，故选D。 【17题详解】 根据下文中“As your outlook changes, these struggles may make it more difficult to navigate relationships with family and cope with peer pressure.(随着你的观点改变，这些挣扎可能会使你更难处理与家人的关系和应对同伴的压力)”的“these struggles”可知，空处应是提及“struggles”，E项“随着你的成长，这个过程可能会导致你内心和外在的挣扎”符合语境，故选E。 【18题详解】 上文“While conflicts are a natural part of this stage of life, there are ways to manage and resolve them productively.(虽然冲突是人生这个阶段很自然的一部分，但有一些方法可以有效地管理和解决它们)”提到有一些解决冲突的方法，空处应是介绍具体的方法，结合下文“By expressing your thoughts and feelings clearly, you can prevent misunderstandings and build mutual respect.(通过清楚地表达你的想法和感受，你可以防止误解，建立相互尊重)”可知，空处介绍的方法是关于沟通交流，B项“最有效的策略是沟通”符合语境，故选B。 【19题详解】 根据本段中“Staying calm allows you to think more clearly and avoid worsening emotions. Techniques such as deep breathing or temporarily stepping away from the situation can help manage intense feelings.(保持冷静可以让你更清晰地思考，避免情绪恶化。深呼吸或暂时离开这种情况等技巧可以帮助控制紧张的情绪)”可知，本段和情绪有关，A项“情绪调节也很重要”符合语境，故选A。 【20题详解】 空处位于结尾，应是总结上文，结合上文“While conflicts are a normal part of growing up, they can also be opportunities for personal development and self-discovery.(虽然冲突是成长过程中很正常的一部分，但它们也可以是个人发展和自我发现的机会)”可知，冲突也可以是个人发展和自我发现的机会，因此积极利用这个机会可以促进个人发展和自我发现，F项“积极地看待它，你就能解决冲突，促进你的成长”符合语境，F项中“boost your growth”呼应上文“personal development”，故选F。 第三部分：语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Our drive to seek out happiness is a muscle that we can exercise and develop.

Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right. The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing.” Grandma nodded. I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market. Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer. However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent(有能力的)computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.” I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts(零件)for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I could be someone who was really competent. “I can definitely help with that! Where are the parts?” Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts. Rolling up my sleeves, I carefully connected everything. It was a piece of cake to me. “Done!” I announced confidently. After a few adjustments, the internet was up and running. Now it was time to sell the roses. I decided to start from my social media platform. I quickly uploaded photos, added descriptions, and set prices. Before long, notifications started showing up — people were noticing. My abilities made a difference!(96词) Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. “This is amazing, Jude!” Grandma cheered with joy as she began bustling about, packing flowers. Mr. Jackson chuckled warmly as he handed me another bunch to label. The energy was electric — everyone was on their feet, moving quickly to keep up with the growing orders. The farm felt alive, and so did I. To our surprise, the roses sold out in just half a day. “You’ve brought the farm into the twenty-first century, Jude,” Grandma hugged me tightly. I realized that being competent wasn’t about avoiding mistakes. It was about facing them head-on and making the most of my strengths.(100词) 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了暑假爸爸带Jude去奶奶的农场，但Jude去年在农场时因忘记锁门，导致山羊进了奶奶邻居Jackson先生的花田，最后毁了所有的玫瑰花，现在Jackson回到农场感到紧张，Jude在Jackson先生来找奶奶帮忙时试图躲避，Jackson却很高兴见到他并说去年只是一次意外，奶奶询问擅长电脑的Jude是否能帮忙在网上卖玫瑰花。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“也许我可以成为一个真正有能力的人。”可知，第一段可描写Jude组装电脑并开始在网上卖玫瑰花。 ②由第二段首句内容“几个小时内，订购玫瑰的订单如潮水般涌来。”可知，第二段可描写玫瑰花很快被卖完以及Jude的感悟。 2.续写线索：组装电脑——开始在网上售卖——接到大量订单——大家为订单忙碌——玫瑰花售空——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①宣布：announce/declare ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③意识到：realize/be aware 情绪类 ①喜悦：joy/delight/happiness ②惊讶：surprise/astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型1] Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts.（由关系副词where引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] Mr. Jackson chuckled warmly as he handed me another bunch to label.（由从属连词as引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 咸阳市实验中学2024—2025学年第二学期第二次质量检测 高二英语试题 注意事项： 1. 本试题共10页，满分150分，时间120分钟。 2. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、班级和准考证号填写在答题卡上。 3. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B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，再选涂其它答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4. 考试结束后，监考员将答题卡按顺序收回，装袋整理；试题不回收。 第一部分：听力 (共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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.

They had just moved back to Iceland from the United States and were struggling with jet lag (时差). When his three-year-old son wanted a drink from a corner store, Halli faced a problem: a 20-centimetre step blocked his wheelchair from entering the store. This was not new to Halli, who has used a wheelchair since age 25 due to a muscle disease. As he waited outside, he thought about how often he had been excluded from places like restaurants and stores because they were not accessible. Halli, a successful digital designer, had lived in many cities worldwide and noticed how differently they approached accessibility. After selling his company, Ueno, to Twitter (now X), he decided to use his resources to make Iceland more wheelchair-friendly. In 2021, he launched Ramp (斜坡) Up Reykjavik, a non-profit project aiming to build 100 permanent ramps in the city’s downtown within a year. Unlike temporary ramps in other cities, these were designed to fit perfectly with the buildings, making them look like they had always been there. With government funding and sponsors, the project went beyond its goal and expanded nationwide. By 2026, the team plans to build 1,500 ramps across Iceland, costing about 400 million Icelandic krona. Iceland’s president praised the project, saying, “We want our society to be inclusive. Halli has shown us how easy it is to make a difference when we work together.” In just three years, Halli has become a local hero, known as a “kind tech giant”. He hopes his work inspires others. Recently, a woman built a ramp at her home so her wheelchair-using friend could visit easily. “Equal access is not a reality yet,” he says, “but change starts with one person.” 4. What inspired Halli to start the ‘Ramp Up Reykjavik’ project? A. The lack of wheelchair access. B. His son’s difficulty in finding a drink. C. A suggestion from Iceland’s president. D. His desire to become famous in Iceland. 5. How are the ramps built by ‘Ramp Up Reykjavik’ different from those in other cities? A. They are cheap to construct. B. They are only built in downtown. C. They are temporary and movable. D. They look fitted with the buildings forever. 6. Which of the following best describes Halli? A. Generous and patient. B. Positive and energetic. C. Smart and hardworking. D. Inspiring and pioneering. 7. What dose Halli expect people to do about equal access? A. Go ahead to start from small. B. Build ramps in every city. C. Appeal to government for funds. D. Raise awareness through media. C Animal products could produce electricity, one British power company warns — and to give consumers a choice, it’s offering what it calls the world’s first vegan electricity. Ecotricity, a renewable energy provider in the U.K. , announced its electricity and gas would be certified vegan after it claimed half of British homes are powered by electricity made from animal byproducts. Company founder Dale Vince accused companies that consider themselves “ ethical” or “green” of keeping consumers in the dark about their “secret ingredient.” “We need clear labeling of energy sourcing so that people can make informed choices,” he said in a statement. The company offers “vegan energy” in wind and solar power, and it’s developing “sea power” produced by wave oscillation and marine currents. None of Ecotricity’s electrical sources contains animal byproducts that the company knew of before it made the announcement, but it registered with the Vegan Society to certify its green status. Though not widely open, it’s fairly common for power companies to get electricity from animals through anaerobic digestion (厌氧消化). Animal waste is generally considered a clean, renewable energy source. Turning manure (肥料) into fuel eliminates a sizeable chunk of carbon pollution and lessens power companies’ reliance on “dirtier” fossil fuels like coal and oil. Plus, animals provide a limitless supply of waste, while Earth’s natural gas stores are finite, so crackers wouldn’t need to drill into rock to extract it. Cows are pictured at a Wagyu cattle breeding center in June in Petit-Mars, France. A U.K. energy company announced the first “vegan electricity” after warning consumers about animal byproducts in energy production, After anaerobic digestion, farmers can use the liquid remains of the manure as fertilizer and make chips for animal bedding from the solid leftovers, chemical engineer DavidSimakov told Popular Science. “We are talking about producing the amount of renewable natural gas enough to heat thousands of homes from just a single large landfill site,” he said. “We need to stop pumping carbon from underground into the atmosphere and start caring about introducing more and more renewable energy to make our lives more sustainable.” Renewable energy only accounts for 11 percent of energy consumption in the U. S. , according to the Energy Information Administration. Fossil fuels and nuclear energy generate more than 80 percent of the country’s electricity, and that’s unlikely to change: like other clean energy sources, anacrobic digestion is still more expensive than traditional sources of energy. 8. According to Dale Vince, ____________. A. vegan electricity and gas shouldn’t use animal byproducts B. it’s not certain whether Ecotricity has used animal byproducts C. it’s necessary for consumers to know how electricity is produced D people don’t need to make choices of whether to use vegan electricity 9. In Paragraph 2, “secret ingredient” refers to ____________. A. animal waste B. vegan energy C. an energy provider D. energy labeling 10. What can be inferred from the passage? A.

D The hero’s journey — this timeless narrative (叙述) structure, first described by the American writer Joseph Campbell in 1949, is found in historical stories, such as the Odyssey, and modern favorites, including the Harry Potter. Many hero’s journey stories have become cultural touchstones that influence how people think about their world and themselves. To explore the connection between people’s life stories and the hero’s journey, we had our first study. We collected life stories from 1, 200 people in Chicago. We used sets of questions to measure the storytelling participants’ sense of meaning in life, amount of life satisfaction and level of depression. We then examined these stories for the seven elements of the hero’s journey; a lead role, a shift of circumstances, a long search, a challenge, an association, a personal transformation and a resulting legacy (遗产). In our first study, we found that people who had more hero’s journey elements in their life stories reported more meaning in life, more happiness and less depression. We also found that hero’s journey narratives provided more benefits, often including a “redemptive” narrative, where a person’s life story goes from defeat to victory. We then wondered whether adjusting one’s life story to be more “heroic” would increase feelings of meaning in life. We developed a “restorying” intervention in which we urged people to retell their stories as a hero’s journey. Participants first identified each of the seven elements in their life, and then we encouraged them to put these pieces together and form a logical narrative. In another study with more than 1,700 participants, we confirmed that this restorying intervention worked; it helped people see their life as a hero’s journey, which in turn made that life feel more meaningful. Intervention recipients (接受者) also reported greater life satisfaction and became more adaptable in the face of personal challenges. Besides, these intervention recipients saw difficulties more positively and dealt with them more creatively in their later life. So, though you may never save the world on a massive scale, you could save yourself and become a hero in the context of your own life. 12. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about? A. What the study showed. B. Why the study was conducted. C. How the study was carried out. D. Whether the study was a success. 13. What can be inferred from the first study? A. Hero’s journey elements promote well-being. B. Hero’s journey narratives offer no advantages. C. A hero’s life story must go from defeat to success. D. A personal transformation may make life meaningless. 14. How did the participants benefit from the restorying intervention? A. They created a better public image. B. They became more responsible individuals. C. They developed a deeper sense of purpose in life. D. They shaped a more optimistic approach to hardship. 15. What is the most suitable title for the text? A. An Exciting Life Story Leads to a Hero’s Journey B. A Meaningful Life Comes From a Hero’s Journey C. To Lead a Meaningful Life, Become Your Own Hero D.

Peer (同龄人) pressure also plays a major role, as teenagers are more likely to be influenced by friends while testing boundaries and seeking autonomy.

While conflicts are a natural part of this stage of life, there are ways to manage and resolve them productively. ____18____By expressing your thoughts and feelings clearly, you can prevent misunderstandings and build mutual respect. Equally important is active listening — understanding others’ outlook can help you find common ground and reach a resolution. ____19____Staying calm allows you to think more clearly and avoid worsening emotions. Techniques such as deep breathing or temporarily stepping away from the situation can help manage intense feelings. Additionally, turning to trusted adults or peers who have faced similar challenges can help you gain practical strategies for managing emotions. While conflicts are a normal part of growing up, they can also be opportunities for personal development and self-discovery.____20____ A. Emotional regulation is also essential. B. The most effective strategy is communication. C. These conflicts are caused by misunderstandings. D. With so much going on, it’s no surprise conflicts often arise. E.

Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right. The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing.” Grandma nodded. I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market. Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer. However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent(有能力)computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.” I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts(零件)for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
