B Matt counted his new year gifts one more time as he tucked a robot-shaped eraser into each envelope. He prepared gifts for everyone for the next day's party. When Matt got to school the next day, he saw a new girl in his classroom. She stood near Ms. Robins and looked around shyly. "This is Dorothy," said Ms. Robins. "Will someone volunteer to show her around today?" Matt raised his hand. He liked helping new kids feel welcome. "Thanks, Matt," Ms. Robins said. "Now let's get busy with our work so we're done in time for the party." That's when Matt realized he didn't have a gift for Dorothy. No one else would have one either. He felt a sad lump in his stomach. As he showed Dorothy around, he was careful not to mention the party. At lunchtime, he walked Dorothy to the lunchroom, still worried about what would happen at the party. Dorothy had brought a packed lunch, so Matt showed her where she should sit and went back to his usual seat. While eating, Matt suddenly remembered that kids often included candy hearts with the new year gifts they exchanged. An idea popped into his head. He whispered it to the kids around him. Soon everyone at the table was nodding and whispering. When they were back in the classroom after lunch, Matt told Ms. Robins about their plan. Ms. Robins agreed with a nodding smile. It was math time, so Matt invited Dorothy to study with him. He made sure Dorothy sat with her back to the room so she wouldn't notice her new classmates passing around an exquisite paper bag Ms. Robins prepared to collect their candy hearts. Before long, it was party time. They played games and then had cookies and juice. Finally, they passed out their gifts. The room buzzed with happy chatter. Matt saw the sad look on Dorothy's face as she glanced at other kids' desks overflowing with envelopes. "Here's your gift, Dorothy," Matt said, placing the paper bag in front of her. "It's from everyone." Dorothy stared at the beautiful bag full of "hearts". "We wanted you to have a special New Year's Day too," said Matt. "Thank you," Dorothy said, smiling at her new classmates. "It really is a special day!" 24.Why did Matt feel a sad lump in his stomach? A．He was guilty for forgetting about Dorothy. B．He was worried that Dorothy would be angry. C．He was afraid Dorothy wouldn't like the party. D．He was concerned that Dorothy would feel left out. 25.What does the underlined word "it" refer to in paragraph 3? A．Keeping the party a secret. B．Gathering candy hearts as a gift. C．Inviting Dorothy to study together. D．Including candy hearts in every gift. 26.Which of the following words best describes Matt? A．Innovative. B．Modest. C．Considerate. D．Generous. 27.What's the best title for the text? A．A Hearty Welcome B．A New Year Tradition C．The First Day of School D．The Reward of Kindness C Overuse of land and warming temperatures are putting insect diversity in danger in some parts of the world, scientists reported Wednesday. The study, published in the journal Nature, confirmed for the first time a clear and alarming link between warming temperatures and large-scale agriculture and showed that where there are more farmlands, there is a greater decrease in insects. “These findings lead to huge concerns,” said Charlotte Outhwaite, the lead author of the study and researcher at the University College London, adding that losing insects could threaten human health and food supply. “Three quarters of our crops depend on insect pollinators(授粉),” Dave Goulson, a professor of biology at the University of Sussex in the UK, previously told CNN. “Without insects, crops will die. We won’t have things like strawberries. We can’t feed 8 billion people.” Outhwaite said their findings “may only show the tip of the iceberg(冰山一角),"because of the limited amount of evidence in some areas. “But I think there are also a lot of results that we probably don’t really know because there are so many different kinds of insects.” Outhwaite told CNN. Scientists say, overuse of land has a link with warming temperatures. Destroying natural habitats for agriculture can make the temperature rise sharply. Researchers found great decreases in insect populations in areas of the world that are much warmer. They concluded that in areas with small-scale agriculture, less temperature warming, and more natural habitats, insects only dropped by 7%, compared to the 63% decrease in areas with large-scale agriculture, more temperature warming and less natural habitats. So what can we do to help prevent this? 28. What did the study find? A. More farmlands lead to a greater decrease in insects. B. Three quarters of our crops depend on insect pollinators. C. Overuse of land is threatening insect diversity all over the world. D. There is little link between warming temperatures and large-scale agriculture. 29. Why does the author quote Dave Goulson’s words? A. To suggest solutions to people’s concerns. B. To explain the process of insect pollinators. C. To prove the importance of insects to humans. D. To provide evidence for the decrease in insects. 30. Which one is NOT the factor of the decreases in insect populations? A. Overuse of land B. Insect pollinators C. Warming temperatures D. Less natural habitats 31. What might the author continue talking about? A. His opinions of the study. B. Studies of natural habitat. C. The causes of warming temperatures. D. The ways to stop the decrease. D In the field of artificial intelligence, a new breakthrough player, DeepSeek, has recently gained significant attention on social media. It is an AI assistant developed by a Chinese company called DeepSeek. Earlier in January 2025, DeepSeek released its AI model, which competes with leading models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT o1. What sets DeepSeek apart is its ability to develop high-performing AI models at a significantly lower cost. It’s built to assist with various tasks, from answering questions to generating content. However, unlike the American AI giants, which usually offer free versions but charge fees for access to higher-performing models and more responses, DeepSeek is entirely free to use. DeepSeek operates as a conversational AI, meaning it can understand and respond to natural language inputs. It offers two large language models: DeepSeek-V3 and DeepThink (R1). They can be accessed via web pages or apps. DeepSeek-V3 works like the standard ChatGPT model, providing fast responses, generating text, rewriting emails and summarizing documents. DeepThink (R1) provides an alternative to OpenAI’s ChatGPT o1 model, which requires a subscription, but both DeepSeek models are free to use. What sets the DeepThink (R1) model apart from other AI tools is that it lays out the complete thought process and indicates the time it takes to generate the answer before providing a detailed reply. AI models require large amounts of data to be trained effectively, sometimes including sensitive personal information. The use of personal data carries a risk of data leaks or misuse. DeepSeek’s privacy policy allows it to collect user data, such as text inputs, chat history, and device details, for training purposes. This has raised concerns about the potential misuse of personal information. DeepThink (R1) is open-source (源代码开放的), allowing researchers and developers worldwide to access and improve the model. This challenges the market position of Western tech giants and encourages more innovation and collaboration in the AI field. Smaller companies and individual developers can now use advanced AI technology without the high costs of proprietary (专有的) models. The rise of DeepThink (R1) has forced well-established AI companies to reconsider their strategies. If they don’t innovate quickly, they risk becoming outdated in the changing market. 32．How does DeepSeek differ from American AI giants in terms of cost? A．It charges for high - performing models. B．It offers free access to all its models. C．It has a more complex fee-charging system. D．It provides free basic versions. 33．What is the unique feature of DeepThink (R1) compared to other AI tools? A．It is open - source for worldwide use. B．It can generate content quickly. C．It can be accessed via both web pages and apps. D．It shows the thought process and answer - generation time. 34．What concern has been raised about DeepSeek according to the passage? A．It might disclose user’s privacy. B．Its models may not be as accurate as others. C．It is too expensive for small companies. D．Its open - source nature may cause security issues. 35．What impact has DeepThink (R1) had on the AI market? A．It has forced established AI companies to combine. B．It has made Western tech giants dominate the market more. C．It has motivated the creation and cooperation in the AI field. D．It has increased the cost of using advanced AI technology. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，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。 Benefits of Reading to Children Reading aloud has many positive benefits for children of all ages.

They had both devoted themselves to preparing for the upcoming contest. Grace’s journey to the competition was marked by countless hours of practice and determination. She would rise before the sun, and the studio lights were her only company. Every movement was perfected with determined mind. She knew that this competition wasn’t just about personal success; it was also about upholding(维护) her school’s honor. “Grace, you’re incredible!” Grace’s dance instructor, Mrs. Anderson, often praised her. “Your hard work will pay off.” Ellen had been practicing hard for this competition as well. Her love for dance was her driving force. After school, she would head straight to the dance studio(练习室), tirelessly perfecting every step. Her dance shoes had become a part of her feet, and her heart burned with a strong desire for victory. “Ellen, you’re a natural,” her fellow dancers would often say. “You’ve got this!” The day of the competition finally arrived, and there were five competitors fighting for the championship title. Ellen was scheduled to perform before Grace. As Ellen stood backstage, the butterflies in her stomach seemed to have turned into a whirlwind (旋风). She practiced every move once again but suddenly broke her dress with a sharp movement. Panic (恐慌) set in as her mind raced for a solution. “Ellen, you’re up next!” the stage manager announced. In the dimly lit backstage(后台) area, Grace overheard(无意听到) Ellen’s whispers(小声说) to her friend, Sarah. “I broke my dancing dress, Sarah,” Ellen’s voice trembled. “What am I going to do?” Grace’s heart sank as she overheard the conversation. 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。 Grace knew her dress would fit Ellen perfectly, but she hesitated(犹豫). ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tears of thanks welled up in Ellen’s eyes as she put on Grace’s dress. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ 高二年级第二次调研考试英语试卷 共8页 第2页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二下学期期中考试参考答案 阅读理解 A篇 BAC B篇 DBCA C篇 ACBD D篇 BDAC 七选五 ECGAF 完形填空 DCABA CDBAD ABCDC 语法填空 第二节 （共10小题；每小题1. 5分, 满分15分） 56．has found     57．to forgive     58．satisfaction     59．better     60．in     61．relaxing     62．which     63．saying     64．whether     65．a  基础写作 第一节（满分15分） 【参考答案】 Dear David, How is everything going?

It was fascinating to see how technology made agriculture more efficient and environmentally friendly. The visit was not only educational but also inspiring, as it opened my eyes to the potential of modern farming techniques. I can't wait to see how these advancements will shape our future. It’s a perfect chance to learn about sustainable farming and bond with classmates. I believe it’ll inspire us to think creatively about future challenges. Let me know if you can join us! Looking forward to your reply. Yours Li Hua 读后续写 第二节（满分25分） 【参考范文】 Grace knew her dress would fit Ellen perfectly, but she hesitated. After all, it was Ellen’s own fault for breaking her dress. However, Grace also understood that sometimes in competition, we should put aside our differences and help each other. She took a deep breath and approached Ellen. “Ellen, I heard your problem,” Grace said with a soft voice, “my dress can fit you perfectly. You can wear my dress on stage.” Ellen’s eyes widened in surprise. “Grace, you would do that for me?” she asked, her voice trembling. “Of course, Ellen,” Grace replied, a gentle smile on her face. “Now, go out there and show them what you’ve got.” Tears of thanks welled up in Ellen’s eyes as she put on Grace’s dress. She knew that she had let herself down and almost gave up, but Grace’s act of kindness restored her faith in herself. She vowed to herself that she would not let Grace down and would do her best in the competition. Finally, Ellen won the competition with her outstanding performance. But what made her happiest was having such a good friend. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
