Every breath burned my lungs, and my arms trembled with exhaustion. Yet Mike kept charging forward, his movements sharp and relentless. He sprang for a low shot, his racquet barely grazing the ball, but somehow it bounced off the front wall at an impossible angle. I stumbled, my muscles screaming, and missed the return. The score tipped to 16-17 -- Ed needed just one more point to win. My chest tightened; one mistake now, and everything I’d fought for would slip away. Just as Mike leaped for a final kill to win the match, he slipped. His foot caught on the edge of the court, sending him crashing onto the floor. The ball rolled away, and with a desperate tap, I sent it back, scoring the tying point. Out of breath, Mike sat up, clutching his elbow, but then laughed. "Guess I got too excited," he admitted, shaking his head. We finished the match with a clumsy rally, and I managed a narrow 19-17 victory. But as we shook hands, I saw no bitterness in Mike’s eyes — just pride. I realized how much effort he had put into this game and into changing himself. In a way, I think we both won: I the game, but Mike my respect. 答案解析： A 语篇类型：应用文 主题语境：人与社会 【语篇导读】文章介绍了四个不同主题和特色的夏令营，涵盖活动内容、年龄范围、价格、住宿安排等信息，旨 在帮助学生及家长根据兴趣和需求选择合适的暑期项目。 21. D 细节理解题。题目限定“对职业机会感兴趣的女孩”，EHL Junior Academy 是唯一明确提供职业导向的营地， 2 且性别为“男女同校”（Co-education），符合条件。EHL Junior Academy（Camp 2）明确提到其目标是帮助学生探索 酒店业、旅游业、娱乐业、奢侈品牌、高科技等领域的职业机会，并通过实践培训提升技能和职业信心（"open your mind to diverse career opportunities" 和 "master the skills and grow more positive about your future career"）。 22. A 细节理解题。题目问“儿童发展的哪个方面”，需聚焦营地描述中的价值观关键词，结合“self-confidence and self-esteem”可推断答案为“自我价值”。Timber Lake Camp（Camp 3）的核心理念是“通过被重视来学会重视他人”（"learn to value others by being valued themselves"），并强调提升“self-confidence and self-esteem”（自信与自尊）。 23. C 推理判断题。通过逐项对比，唯一完全一致的共同点为“提升信心”。 Alpengirl Camp：培养“self-confidence” （自信）；EHL Junior Academy：使学生“grow more positive and sure about your future career”（对未来职业更自信）； Timber Lake Camp：提升“greater self-confidence and self-esteem”（更强的自信与自尊）；Immerse Education Camp：“build confidence”（建立信心）。共同点：所有营地均提到“confidence”或“self-esteem”的提升。排除干扰项：A（团队精神）： 仅 Alpengirl Camp 和 Timber Lake Camp 部分提及；B（共享卧室）：Immerse Education Camp 为“Private”，排除；D （针对高中生）：Timber Lake Camp 年龄范围为 7-18 岁，涵盖非高中生群体。 B 语篇类型：记叙文 主题语境：人与自我 【语篇导读】文章讲述了 Justin 和 Jessica 因一场洪水中的意外结缘的故事。两人在暴雨中被困，共同应对危机并 帮助他人脱险，最终在患难中萌生感情，四年后订婚。故事展现了危机中的人性温暖与情感联结同时传递了“人生 关键时刻可能藏在偶然之中”的深层含义。 24. C 推理判断题。题目问“最初接受搭车的原因”，直接关联暴雨的客观环境，而非主观情感。选项 C符合“别无选 择”的语境。第二段提到 Jessica 在暴雨中等待回家的车未果（"her ride home nowhere to be seen"），且“雨势越来越大” （"increasing downpour"）。Jessica 虽怀疑 Justin 可能对她有意（"maybe he's hitting on me"），但最终因暴雨接受了 帮助（"it was raining buckets, so she accepted"）。 25. B 细节理解题。选项 C（引擎故障）是直接事件，但选项 B（水位危险）才是弃车的根本原因，符合题干“directly caused”的要求。第三段描述洪水涌入车内，“水位涨到他们的膝盖并持续上升”（"the water was up to their laps and rising"），若再等待，可能被困车中，因此两人弃车逃生。 26. C 推理判断题。结合后文订婚的结果，“connection crackled”暗示两人在共患难中萌生了浪漫情愫，而非争吵或 普通友谊。crackled”本意为“发出噼啪声”，此处隐喻情感火花的迸发。第三段末尾提到两人在车站内“瑟瑟发抖地分 享三明治和啤酒”（"shivering in wet clothes, sharing a tiny sandwich and a beer"），且后文明确提到 Jessica 认为这是“上 帝的启示”（"a sign"），决定与 Justin 共度余生。 27. B 主旨大意题。选项 B（人生关键时刻源于不可预测的事件）精准概括了故事的核心寓意。其他选项中，C（共 患难加深陌生人情感）是对原文的错误理解，文章第二段提到他们俩是认识的，并在之前进行过简短的交流，所以 本文并不是讲陌生人共患难的情感。文章结尾强调，若 Justin 未因“错误转弯”（"wrong turn"）被困洪水，两人可能 再无交集（"may never have spoken again"）。最终他们因这场意外结缘（"lost a car but gained a fiancee"），凸显“偶 然事件改变人生轨迹”的主题。 C 语篇类型：说明文 主题语境：人与社会 【语篇导读】本篇为说明文。介绍了文化全球背景下的品牌命名遇到的挑战。 28. D 细节理解题。A（简单含义和语气）未明确提及。B（易发音）是重要因素，但文章提及不是所有语言，而 是目标市场的语言。根据文章第二段可知，品牌名称应确保在目标市场的语言中不会带有负面含义（"make sure that the name doesn't sound like a word with a negative meaning"）故选 D 29. C 推理判断题。根据第三段定义中"choose a name that sounds like it comes from a culture that customers feel positive about"，并以Matsui（模仿日本品牌）为例，可以推断“foreign branding” 是为选择听起来来自受消费者欢迎 文化的名称，故 C 选项符合题意。 3 30.D 推理判断题。第四段指出，Kimono 因"文化挪用"（cultural appropriation）引发争议，日本市长强调和服象征" 日本人的美、精神和价值观"，迫使品牌更名，故冒犯了原国家的文化价值，故选 D。 31. B 主旨大意题。 从第一段最后一句话以及后文，围绕全球化背景下品牌命名的文化敏感性展开，分别介绍了命 名原则、策略及失败案例，核心是"挑战"（如文化冲突），故选 B。 D 语篇类型：议论文 主题语境：人与自然 【语篇导读】本文是议论文。主要讨论了 AI的能耗问题被夸大，其绝对值较低且能通过技术手段助力减排，需 通过优化数据中心等措施平衡发展与环保。 32. A 词义猜测题。 结合上下文，前文提到 AI 对环境的影响增加，同时有“huge investments in new data centres"， 再结合后文，但是这样的担忧是不恰当的。故“baked in"在此处意为"不可避免的、已成定局的"，因为大规模投资必 然导致能源消耗增加。故选 A。 33. A 推理判断题。根据第二段，尽管数据中心用电量可能激增，但其基数仍较低（"the base is still low"），仅占 全球电力消耗的 1.5%，且大部分来自流媒体和电商，而非 AI。B（AI 比传统行业耗能少）未与传统行业对比。C （数据中心能效提升）未提及。D（数据中心导致能耗上升）以偏概全，忽略基数低的重点。故选 A。 34. C 细节理解题。根据第三段列举AI通过优化系统（"optimising systems"）、处理大数据（"processing giant data sets"） 和提升电网效率（"improve the efficiency of electrical grids"）来减排，故选 C。 35. B 推理判断题。根据最后一段的"现代化数据中心以灵活调配负载"（"modernizing data centres to shift workloads between different data centres at different times"），可知 B 符合题意。A选项虽然是一个最好的解决方法，但是被作 者认为"distant dream"，所以不实际，故选 B。 七选五 语篇类型：说明文 主题语境：人与自我 【语篇导读】文章主要介绍了克服自我怀疑的三种策略。 36. B. 承接下文，下文提到了自我怀疑的危害---它会限制你的潜能并削弱你的自信心水平， 若选择 A项，下文应该提到自我怀疑是什么时候怎么产生的。 37. D. 承接上文，本段主要是讲述的是不要比较，要专注自己的成就，D选项中的 this 即指代上一句中提到的专注 自己和自身的成就，进而才能使你毫无顾虑地实现自己的目标。 38. F. 段首句，根据本段小标题和后文可知，本段主要是在讲 past achievements.所以 F 选项（回忆你取得非凡成就 的时候）符合本段主旨。C选项是 past memories 太笼统，本段主要聚焦过去的成就。 39.G．段尾句，根据上一句(他们会帮助你变得越来越好)，G 选项中 they 与上一句话契合，指代 good people, also 表明更多他们可能帮助你做的事情。 40. E. 承上启下，前面一句是说这个旅程并不会顺利，E 选择中就提到了可能遇到困难并使你灰心丧气，后面一句 说只要坚持，持续努力，就能充分发挥你的潜能，E选项前后符合逻辑关系。 完形填空 语篇类型：说明文 主题语境：人与自我 【语篇导读】文章讲述了 Tom Perry 在火箭比赛中追求完美，却在关键时刻选择帮助竞争对手的故事通过这次经历， Tom最终领悟到竞赛的真正意义不在于输赢，而在于超越自我、收获成长。当放下对胜利的执着后，他反而获得 了内心的平静与归属感。 41. C. 解析：前文提到 Tom仔细检查火箭的每个部件，结合“meticulously”（一丝不苟地），polishing（打磨/完善） 更符合细致处理火箭的语境，强调追求完美。 42. D. 解析：后文“the only path to respect”表明 Tom认为完美（Perfection）是获得尊重的唯一方式，与后文他执着 于细节的行为一致。 43. A. 解析：父亲的话是温和的“提醒”（reminder），而非警告或批评，符合“Relax, enjoy yourself”的善意语气。 4 44. D. 解析：Tom一心只想赢，barely（几乎不）体现他几乎没听到父亲的建议，突出其专注。 45. B.解析：发射火箭前需“设置”（set up），如安装、调整角度等，其他选项不符语境。 46. C.解析：固定搭配“caught his eye”（引起注意），描述蓝色火箭吸引了 Tom的目光。 47. A.解析：发现对手火箭有缺陷时，Tom犹豫（hesitated）是否告知，体现内心矛盾。 48. B.解析：提醒对手可能导致（cost）自己失去胜利，cost sb sth（使某人付出代价）符合逻辑。 49. C.解析：火箭“冲入天空”用 shot（飞速上升），生动描述发射动作。 50. A.解析：火箭弧线“映衬在蓝天中”，against（以……为背景）更贴切。 51. D.解析：后文提到 Tom未感到失望，暗示他的火箭稍低（lower），但表现稳定。 52. C.解析：他等待的是输后的失望（disappointment），但结果释然，形成转折。 53. B.解析：欢呼声逐渐消散（faded），与后文“contest was over”呼应。 54. D. 解析：未获胜却感到轻松是奇怪（oddly）的，凸显情感变化的反差。 55. C.解析：launched（发射）则更贴合主题：火箭发射象征释放内心负担，同时暗示 Tom通过帮助他人完成了自 我“发射”（成长），与“felt lighter”形成双关。 【短文填空】 【语篇导读】新闻故事：介绍了一个致力于帮助自闭症儿童的机构的故事。 56. had called。考查时态。"It was the first time + 主语 + had done " 是固定句型，强调过去某一时刻之前从未发生过 的动作。 57. was sent。 考查时态语态。主语是"the boy"，与动词"send"之间是被动关系（男孩被送到中心）。 58. training。考查动词短语搭配。 动词"spent"的搭配为"spend time （in） doing sth "。 59. himself。考查代词。动词"dress"后需接反身代词，表示“自己穿衣服”。 60. to benefit。 考查非谓语动词。 句型"the first child ___ (benefit)..."需用不定式作后置定语。 61. smoothly。 考查副词。动词"adapt"需用副词修饰，表示“顺利适应”。 62. establishment。考查名词。介词"since"后需接名词形式，表示“自成立以来”。 63. when。考查定语从句。空格后是完整句子"there were few institutions..."，需填关系副词引导时间状语从句。"in the 2000s"是时间点，用 when 指代“在那时”。 64. a。考查冠词。空格后是单数可数名词"non-governmental organization"，需用不定冠词。 65. With。考查介词。后接名词短语"growing awareness..."，表示“随着意识提高”。 听力原文 (Text 1) M: So do all employees get a discount on store purchases? W: Yes, we offer a ten percent discount.

One’s for paper products and one’s for everything else. M: You mean you can mix glass, plastic, and metal all together? W: Yep. (Text 6) M: Good morning. This is Westerly Travel’s customer service. How may I help you? W: Yes, I was supposed to take the 2 p.m. train from Denver to Colorado Springs, but it was canceled. I’m presenting at a trade show first thing in the morning, so I’m hoping you can get me on another train today. M: The 4 p.m. departure gets you in by 6:30, and there are plenty of seats available.

W: Of course, I saw it yesterday and I really liked it. Especially its story. M: You know what? It’s based on a true story. The director said he took inspiration from his own childhood.

M: I think it deserves that praise. It’s definitely the best movie of this year. I’ve seen a few reviews that even compare it to some of the classic films. W: Absolutely. I heard it has been shortlisted for many international film awards. M: Yeah. Many film critics said that the movie is the most likely candidate to win. (Text 9) W: Hello, I saw a poster about free things to do in the area, and I’d like some ideas for things to do on the 29th. M: OK. Then let’s start with an event specially designed for children to have fun. The art gallery is holding an event called “Family Welcome” that day. W: What time does it start? M: The gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the event runs from 10:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. They’re going to show a short film. Last time they ran the event and there was a film about painting. They’re now working on one about sculpture. W: I like the sound of that. And what else? M: Well, if you all enjoy listening to music, there are several free concerts. They range from pop music to Latin American. W: The Latin American could be fun. What time is that? M: They’re performing in the central library at 1 o’clock, then at 4 it’s in the City Museum, and in the evening, at 7:30, there’s a longer concert in the theater. W: Thank you. (Text 10) M: All right, class. Before we get started, I want to make an announcement. The quiz I had planned for today will have to wait until next Tuesday. I didn’t have time to get it ready, so you have a few extra days to study. 6 Now, let’s get to today’s topic. Some of you may not like science, but you should at least respect it because it adds so much to our lives. Recently, I read about a newly created plastic that changes color when it’s stretched. How did the scientists dream up this idea? They could never have done it without observing nature. While studying certain insects, the scientists found that the insects’ shells changed color when looked at from different angles. They immediately thought of ways to use that science to benefit humans. The scientists plan to use this plastic on food packages to tell us when our food goes bad and on our money to make it more difficult for criminals to copy. So when you’re walking to class each day, try to take some time to observe nature around you. You never know when you’ll have a bright idea that can change how we live. 重庆市巴蜀中学教育集团 高2026届高二（下）期中考试 英语试卷 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号、班级、学校在答题卡上填写清楚。 2.每小题选出答策后，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，再选涂其他答策标号。在试卷上作答无效。 3.考试结束后，请将答题卡交回，试卷自行保存。满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 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.What kind of discount can the man get?

It was August 2004.Jessica,then a Virginia Commonwealth University student,was waiting outside the campus gym,her ride home nowhere to be seen.Justin walked out and offered a ride and shelter from the increasing downpour.She recognized him from orientation (a few days before---they'd just chatted briefly there."I was like,OK,maybe he's hitting on me,"Jessica later told WTVR.But it was raining buckets,so she accepted. Buckets turned to barrels as Justin,new to Richmond,made a wrong turn onto Main Street, landing the two in the traffic jam caused by rising floodwaters and abandoned cars.Just when the two thought their luck couldn't get worse,a wave washed over Justin's car,flooding the engine and sending rainwater through the air vents (f).Suddenly,the water was up to their laps and rising.It was time to move.Justin grabbed her door handle and rapidly opened Jessica's door and shoved her out of the car.Battling rushing water,the two made it to the steps of a nearby train station.They spent the next few hours helping others to safety inside the station until Amtrak sent a train to carry the stranded(滞留人员)to higher ground.Shivering in wet clothes,sharing a tiny sandwich and a beer,Justin and Jessica's connection crackled. 高苏语试卷第A而共1？而 扫描全能王创建 "I'm one of those people who needs a sign,and I thought,if God isn't giving me a sign right now,I'm a fool,"says Jessica."And I knew:This is the man I'm going to spend the rest of my life with." If Justin hadn't made a wrong turn,the two likely would have skirted the flood and may never have spoken again.Instead,four years later,Justin and Jessica were engaged."I lost a car but gained a fiancee,"says Justin. 24.Why did Jessica accept Justin's offer of a ride initially? A.She was deeply attracted to Justin. B.Justin insisted despite her refusal. C.She had no other way to escape the heavy rain. D.They were classmates working on a project together. 25.What directly caused Justin to abandon the car? A.A collision with another vehicle. B.The water rising to a critical level. C.Engine failure due to a wave flooding it. D.the car running out of gas in the traffic jam. 26.What does the phrase "their connection crackled"in paragraph 3 imply about Justin and Jessica? A.They argued fiercely during the crisis. B.They discovered they had mutual friends. C.They began to develop romantic feelings. D.Their communication was interrupted by the storm. 27.What is the theme conveyed by the story of Justin and Jessica? A.Courage in emergencies lays the foundation for mutual trust. B.Life's crucial moments may arise from unpredictable events. C.Shared hardship deepens emotional bonds between strangers. D.Natural disasters force individuals to face up to their weakness. Q Cultural globalization helps businesses enter new markets.In order to profit from greater sales,however,it's increasingly important for companies to be sensitive to the needs and feelings of consumers in different cultures.This isn't always an easy thing.Brand and product names are a particular challenge that companies face when selling in the global market place. Generally,companies can follow simple guidelines when developing brand names that work across cultures.It's important to choose a name that's easy to read and pronounce in all of their target markets.Equally important is to make sure that the name doesn't sound like a word with a negative meaning in the languages spoken in those markets.The name Kodak,for example,was chosen because it was easy to say and had no negative meanings.In contrast, although the Japanese sports drink Pocari Sweat is easy to say in English,its meaning is somewhat negative to people from English-speaking cultures. 高二英语试卷第5项共12页 扫描全能王创建 Besides following the commonsense guidelines,some companies use a strategy called "foreign branding."The basic idea is to choose a name that sounds like it comes from a culture that customers feel positive about.For example,the British retail chain Currys sold products under the Matsui brand because that name sounded Japanese,and shoppers had a high opinion of electronic goods from Japan. Foreign branding doesn't always work out.For instance,an American businesswoman created a fashion brand called Kimono.However,just six days later she announced an alternative name:Skims.Why?A kimono-her original choice-is a traditional item of Japanese clothing.People all criticized her for cultural appropriation:that is,for trying to profit from something important to another culture.A mayor from Japan even wrote to her to explain that kimonos are not a fashion symbol but are a symbol of the "beauty,spirit,and values of the Japanese"people. Cultural globalization is likely to become an even more important phenomenon.Thus, choosing culturally appropriate and globally appealing names is also likely to become more important. 28.Which of the following is a guideline for culturally appropriate brand names? A.Simplicity in meaning and tone. B.Easy pronunciation across all languages. C.Reflecting the company's home culture. D.Absence of negative meanings in target languages. 29.What does the term"foreign branding"in paragraph 3 refer to? A.Cooperating with international companies. B.Selling products mainly in foreign markets. C.Using names from culturally admired regions. D.Translating brand names into foreign languages. 30.Why was the brand name "Kimono"changed? A.It lacked universal fashion appeal. B.It was targeted at the wrong consumers. C.It had negative meanings in some languages. D.It offended cultural values of the source country. 31.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A.The Rise and Risks of Foreign Branding B.Challenges in Cross-Cultural Brand Naming C.Cultural Appropriation in Modern Business D.The Impact of Cultural Globalization on Trade D Though you don't worry that artificial intelligence (AI)will destroy the human race,you might worry that its fearsome appetite for electricity will destroy the environment.Asking ChatGPT a question means using ten times more energy than an old-fashioned search query. Google's greenhouse-gas emissions rose by nearly half between 2019 and 2023,as the AI boom …wr而计17而 扫描全能王创建 took off.With huge investments in new data centres,more rises seem baked in.But such concerns are misplaced.In absolute terms,AI may be less energy-hungry than people assume. Better still,AI can help de-carbonise the industries that have proved hardest to clean up. Consider AI's appetite for energy first.The International Energy Agency expects that electricity consumption by data centres could triple in the next five years.Even if energy usage soars,though,the base is still low.Data centres today account for about 1.5%of the world's electricity consumption-and the vast majority of that is due to streaming,social media and online shopping,not Al. Moreover,some of AI's electricity use will help green the economy.AI excels at identifying complex patterns,processing giant data sets and optimising systems,all of which can help cut emissions.AI is already helping improve the efficiency of electrical grids ()cut fuel use in shipping and spot otherwise invisible leaks of methane,a greenhouse gas. The task is to maximise such benefits while minimising the climate impacts.The most elegant solution would be for governments to impose()a proper price on carbon and leave the market to do its work.But because a global carbon price remains a distant dream,it is more realistic to focus on other measures. The first is to require AI developers to report their energy use in detail.Second, modernizing data centres to shift workloads between different data centres at different times could reduce pressure and help balance energy grids.Third,tech firms should keep their own environmental promises and apply their market power to fund clean energy projects.Doubling down on such approaches would help transform AI from climate suspect to climate hero. 32.What does the underlined phrase "baked in"in paragraph 1 most likely mean? A.Impossible to avoid. B.Reasonable to adjust. C.Carefully calculated. D.Gradually decreasing. 33.What do we know about energy consumption from paragraph 2? A.AI's absolute energy demand is relatively low. B.AI uses less energy than traditional industries. C.Data centres are becoming more energy-efficient. D.Data centres are to blame for the rise of energy use. 34.How does Al contribute to reducing emissions? A.By replacing fuel consumption with electricity. B.By detecting and removing greenhouse gas leaks. C.By improving systems and analyzing various data. D.By reducing the need for online streaming and shopping. 35.What does the author suggest as a practical solution to managing AI's climate impact? A.Imposing a global carbon price. B.Developing more flexible data centres. C.Focusing on advanced market strategies. D.Reducing requirements for Al developers. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 高二英语试卷第7页共12页 扫描全能王创建 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 Path To Empowerment:Strategies To Overcome Self-Doubt There are some peoplc out there that mistake self-doubt for something else.Self-doubt is when you are unsure about one or more aspects of yourself.36 It limits potential and kills your confidence levels.Here are some strategies that you can use to overcome self-doubt.
