I rarely missed any practice or training. Being so active, I never worried about what I ate — pizza, donuts, pasta — whatever was in front of me. When I went to college, however, my mindset towards food sharply changed. No longer a student athlete, I began to learn about wellness. In a lecture, our professor took a cup of Sprite and showed its sugar content by comparing it to a cup of pure sugar. I was stunned. For the first time, I realized my eating habits needed to change. Immediately, I cut out nearly all sugar from my diet. I refused cake at parties and skipped late-night pizza with friends. Though these habits were good for my physical health, slowly, they began to weigh on my mental health. What started as restricting sweets turned into weighing myself multiple times a day and obsessively (过度地) tracking calories. Despite being at a healthy weight, I was consumed by thoughts of food: What did I eat that day? How much do I need to work out to burn it off? On the outside, I was physically fit, but on the inside, I was anxious about maintaining this state of perfection with food. It wasn’t until I graduated that I began to critically reflect on my obsession with food. I realized the sense of control my strict habits brought me was actually doing the opposite: In placing so much emphasis on food, I felt out of control. How could I shift to a balance of healthy eating with the occasional indulgence? Slowly, I learned that the world would not end if I eat some ice cream or drink a glass of Sprite. At my core, I believe letting myself enjoy small pleasures is what makes me feel more human and alive. For me, this balance is crucial to living a fulfilling, satisfying life. 4. What was the author’s attitude to food as an athlete? A. Adventurous. B. Balanced. C. Carefree. D. Guilty. 5. What is the focus of paragraph 4? A. My efforts at tracking calorie intake. B. My method of staying physically fit. C. My social isolation caused by dieting. D. My mental burden behind healthy eating. 6. Which word can best replace the underlined “indulgence”? A. Enjoyment. B. Self-control. C. Workouts. D. Medical check-ups. 7. What message is conveyed in the passage? A. You are what you eat. B. Obsession can backfire. C. Health ensures happiness. D. Perfection brings success. C D Mothers and fathers both play vital roles in a child’s life, but their approaches to parenting can be very different. These differences are partly influenced by biology, specifically hormones (荷尔蒙) like oxytocin—often called the “love hormone”, which shape their positive behaviors as parents. Research shows that oxytocin affects mothers and fathers in unique ways, leading them to take on balancing roles in raising children. Oxytocin is paramount when it comes to bonding. It is released during moments of closeness, like hugging, breastfeeding, or even playing. In mothers, oxytocin is associated with nurturing (养育) behavior. This hormone increases when a mother holds or comforts her child, making her more likely to focus on caregiving and providing psychological support. For example, when a baby cries, a mother might automatically lift them up, hold them close and attempt to calm them down. On the other hand, studies have shown that when fathers spend time with their children, their oxytocin levels also rise. However, instead of becoming more nurturing, they tend to become more playful and energetic. A father might be more likely to play a game, tell jokes, or encourage his child to try new things. This playfulness can help children develop confidence, problem-solving skills and independence. Interestingly, both roles are equally important for a child’s development. Mothers often provide a safe space where children feel secure and understood, while fathers encourage exploration and hardiness. These differences don’t mean that all mothers or fathers act the same way, but that they do show how biological factors can influence parenting styles. Having different styles of parenting can also help children see the world in a different light. When kids experience both nurturing and playful behaviors, they learn how to adapt to different situations. Overall, the balance between nurturing and playfulness helps children grow into well-rounded individuals, ready to face the world with confidence. 8. What does the underlined word “paramount” mean in paragraph 2? A. Preventable. B. Odd. C. Crucial. D. Rare. 9. What does the author think is a case of a mother’s nurturing behavior? A. Ensuring emotional security. B. Encouraging outdoor games. C. Allowing learning adaptability. D. Teaching bicycle riding. 10. Paragraph 4 is mainly discussing a father’s ________. A. confidence in raising children B. playfulness assumption C. position in the family D. parenting behavior with oxytocin 11. Which statement may the author agree with? A. Mothers limit children’s independence. B. Parenting roles should be strictly defined. C. Every parent is unique in parenting styles. D. Fathers are more vital for academic success. 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 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格处的最佳选项。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Thanks to advances in animal tracking technology, one can match with a wild animal and track its movements through Chinalife’s bracelet by scanning the accompanying QR code.

I was a little girl again, rushing about, trying to get ready for school. “Hurry, you’ll be late for school,” my mother called to me. “I am hurrying, Mom! What did I do with my books?” Deep inside I knew where the dream came from. It was about some unfinished business in my life. As a kid, I loved everything about school. I loved books, teachers, tests and homework. Most of all I longed to someday march down the aisle (通道) to receive my diploma. That seemed more appealing even than getting married. But at 15 I had to drop out because my parents couldn’t afford tuition (学费) .My hope of getting a diploma was dead, or so I thought. Pretty soon, I married and had three children, and I thought: “There goes my diploma.” Even so, I wanted my children to be educated. But Linda, our youngest child, had juvenile arthritis (幼年型关节炎) in her hands and knees, which made it impossible for her to function in a normal classroom. I felt really sorry for her and I didn’t want her to live her life with regret. I didn’t give up hope of her being back to school in some way. One day, I saw an ad in the newspaper for evening courses. “That’s the answer,” I said to myself. Linda always feels better in the evening, so I’ll just sign her up for night school. Linda was busy filling out enrollment (入学) forms when the secretary said: “Mrs. Schantz, why don’t you come back to school?” It was exciting to go to school again but it was no game. I laughed: “There’s no way! I’m 55!” But he persisted, and before I knew what I had done, I was enrolled for classes in English and crafts. “This is only an experiment,” I warned him, but he just smiled. So, I told myself to try for just a term and to see if it would work. Anyway, my dream was still there in my heart. 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。 It was exciting to go to school again but it was no game. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Linda and I cheered up each other through the time. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 实验中学高二年级第二次学情检测 英语 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的AB、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.

I rarely missed any practice or training. Being so active, I never worried about what I ate — pizza, donuts, pasta — whatever was in front of me.

Perfection brings success. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了作者从运动员时期对食物的随意态度，到大学时对健康饮食的过度执着，再到毕业后逐渐找到平衡的过程。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Growing up, my identity was bound together with being an athlete. I rarely missed any practice or training. Being so active, I never worried about what I ate — pizza, donuts, pasta — whatever was in front of me.(在成长过程中，我的身份与运动员紧密相连。我很少错过任何一次训练或练习。由于经常运动，我从不担心自己吃什么——披萨、甜甜圈、意大利面——只要是眼前的食物，我都会吃。)”可知，作为运动员，作者从不担心自己的饮食习惯，吃什么都很随意，对食物是无忧无虑的态度。故选C。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“Though these habits were good for my physical health, slowly, they began to weigh on my mental health. What started as restricting sweets turned into weighing myself multiple times a day and obsessively (过度地) tracking calories. Despite being at a healthy weight, I was consumed by thoughts of food: What did I eat that day? How much do I need to work out to burn it off? On the outside, I was physically fit, but on the inside, I was anxious about maintaining this state of perfection with food.(尽管这些习惯对我的身体有益，但慢慢地，它们开始影响我的心理健康。最初只是不吃甜食，后来变成了每天多次称体重，并过度地计算卡路里。尽管体重健康，但我却整天想着食物：我今天吃了什么？我需要锻炼多久才能消耗掉这些热量？表面上，我身体健美，但内心却因为对食物的完美控制而感到焦虑。)”可知，本段主要描述了作者因过度严格的饮食习惯导致心理压力，尽管身体很健康，但内心却充满焦虑。故选D。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词indulgence前文内容“It wasn’t until I graduated that I began to critically reflect on my obsession with food. I realized the sense of control my strict habits brought me was actually doing the opposite: In placing so much emphasis on food, I felt out of control.(直到毕业后，我开始反思自己对食物的痴迷。我意识到，这种严格习惯带来的控制感实际上适得其反：因为过于重视食物，我感到失去了控制。)”可知，划线词前文提到作者开始反思，认为这种严格习惯的控制适得其反，故此处划线词indulgence与A项“Enjoyment(享受)”意思相近，该句表达为“我如何能转向健康饮食与偶尔享乐之间的平衡？”，也就是作者希望自己能在保持健康饮食的同时，偶尔能允许自己享受一些美食。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“At my core, I believe letting myself enjoy small pleasures is what makes me feel more human and alive. For me, this balance is crucial to living a fulfilling, satisfying life.(在我看来，允许自己享受小乐趣才是让我更像人、更有活力的关键。对我来说，这种平衡是过上充实、满意生活的关键。)”以及全文的讲述可知，作者通过自己从运动员时期对食物的随意态度，到大学时对健康饮食的过度执着，再到毕业后逐渐找到平衡的过程，说明过度追求健康饮食反而会导致心理压力，最终找到平衡才是关键，故B项“执念可能适得其反”符合文章所表达的。故选B。 C D Mothers and fathers both play vital roles in a child’s life, but their approaches to parenting can be very different. These differences are partly influenced by biology, specifically hormones (荷尔蒙) like oxytocin—often called the “love hormone”, which shape their positive behaviors as parents. Research shows that oxytocin affects mothers and fathers in unique ways, leading them to take on balancing roles in raising children. Oxytocin is paramount when it comes to bonding. It is released during moments of closeness, like hugging, breastfeeding, or even playing. In mothers, oxytocin is associated with nurturing (养育) behavior. This hormone increases when a mother holds or comforts her child, making her more likely to focus on caregiving and providing psychological support. For example, when a baby cries, a mother might automatically lift them up, hold them close and attempt to calm them down. On the other hand, studies have shown that when fathers spend time with their children, their oxytocin levels also rise. However, instead of becoming more nurturing, they tend to become more playful and energetic. A father might be more likely to play a game, tell jokes, or encourage his child to try new things. This playfulness can help children develop confidence, problem-solving skills and independence. Interestingly, both roles are equally important for a child’s development. Mothers often provide a safe space where children feel secure and understood, while fathers encourage exploration and hardiness. These differences don’t mean that all mothers or fathers act the same way, but that they do show how biological factors can influence parenting styles.

When kids experience both nurturing and playful behaviors, they learn how to adapt to different situations. Overall, the balance between nurturing and playfulness helps children grow into well-rounded individuals, ready to face the world with confidence. 8. What does the underlined word “paramount” mean in paragraph 2? A. Preventable. B. Odd. C. Crucial. D. Rare. 9. What does the author think is a case of a mother’s nurturing behavior? A. Ensuring emotional security. B. Encouraging outdoor games. C. Allowing learning adaptability. D. Teaching bicycle riding. 10. Paragraph 4 is mainly discussing a father’s ________. A. confidence in raising children B. playfulness assumption C. position in the family D. parenting behavior with oxytocin 11. Which statement may the author agree with? A. Mothers limit children’s independence. B. Parenting roles should be strictly defined. C. Every parent is unique in parenting styles. D. Fathers are more vital for academic success. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了父母育儿方式的差异及其生物学基础。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“These differences are partly influenced by biology, specifically hormones (荷尔蒙) like oxytocin—often called the “love hormone”, which shape their positive behaviors as parents.(这些差异部分受到生物学的影响，尤其是催产素等激素——通常被称为“爱的激素”，它塑造了他们作为父母的积极行为。)”以及第二段“when it comes to bonding. It is released during moments of closeness(说到亲密关系。它在亲密的时刻被释放)”可知，像催产素这种常被称为“爱之荷尔蒙”的激素，它塑造了父母的正向行为方式，它是在建立亲子关系时通过亲密行为释放，这说明其作用“至关重要”，paramount的意思是“至关重要的”，和Crucial意思相近。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In mothers, oxytocin is associated with nurturing (养育) behavior. This hormone increases when a mother holds or comforts her child, making her more likely to focus on caregiving and providing psychological support. For example, when a baby cries, a mother might automatically lift them up, hold them close and attempt to calm them down.(在母亲体内，催产素与养育行为有关。当母亲抱着或安慰她的孩子时，这种激素会增加，使她更有可能专注于照顾和提供心理支持。例如，当婴儿哭泣时，母亲可能会自动把他们抱起来，抱紧他们，试图让他们平静下来。)”可知，作者认为母亲养育行为的一个例子是确保情感安全。故选A。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“On the other hand, studies have shown that when fathers spend time with their children, their oxytocin levels also rise. However, instead of becoming more nurturing, they tend to become more playful and energetic. A father might be more likely to play a game, tell jokes, or encourage his child to try new things.(另一方面，研究表明，当父亲花时间和孩子在一起时，他们的催产素水平也会上升。然而，父亲并不会因此变得更具养育性，而是往往会变得更爱玩耍、更有活力。父亲可能更愿意和孩子一起玩游戏，讲笑话，或者鼓励孩子尝试新事物。)”可知，第四段主要讲的是父亲在催产素作用下的育儿行为。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Interestingly, both roles are equally important for a child’s development. Mothers often provide a safe space where children feel secure and understood, while fathers encourage exploration and hardiness. These differences don’t mean that all mothers or fathers act the same way, but that they do show how biological factors can influence parenting styles.(有趣的是，这两个角色对孩子的发展同样重要。母亲通常提供一个安全的空间，让孩子感到安全和被理解，而父亲则鼓励孩子探索和坚强。这些差异并不意味着所有的父母都以同样的方式行事，但它们确实表明了生物学因素是如何影响育儿方式的。)”可推知，作者会赞同的是“每个父母的育儿方式都是独一无二的”。故选C。 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 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格处的最佳选项。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Thanks to advances in animal tracking technology, one can match with a wild animal and track its movements through Chinalife’s bracelet by scanning the accompanying QR code.

I was a little girl again, rushing about, trying to get ready for school. “Hurry, you’ll be late for school,” my mother called to me. “I am hurrying, Mom! What did I do with my books?” Deep inside I knew where the dream came from. It was about some unfinished business in my life. As a kid, I loved everything about school. I loved books, teachers, tests and homework. Most of all I longed to someday march down the aisle (通道) to receive my diploma. That seemed more appealing even than getting married. But at 15, I had to drop out because my parents couldn’t afford tuition (学费) .My hope of getting a diploma was dead, or so I thought. Pretty soon, I married and had three children, and I thought: “There goes my diploma.” Even so, I wanted my children to be educated. But Linda, our youngest child, had juvenile arthritis (幼年型关节炎) in her hands and knees, which made it impossible for her to function in a normal classroom. I felt really sorry for her and I didn’t want her to live her life with regret. I didn’t give up hope of her being back to school in some way. One day, I saw an ad in the newspaper for evening courses. “That’s the answer,” I said to myself. Linda always feels better in the evening, so I’ll just sign her up for night school. Linda was busy filling out enrollment (入学) forms when the secretary said: “Mrs. Schantz, why don’t you come back to school?” It was exciting to go to school again but it was no game. I laughed: “There’s no way! I’m 55!” But he persisted, and before I knew what I had done, I was enrolled for classes in English and crafts. “This is only an experiment,” I warned him, but he just smiled. So, I told myself to try for just a term and to see if it would work. Anyway, my dream was still there in my heart. 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。 It was exciting to go to school again but it was no game. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Linda and I cheered up each other through the time. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 It was exciting to go to school again but it was no game. Every night, after putting the kids to bed, I would sit down at the kitchen table with my books, trying to absorb the new information. The assignments were challenging, especially since I hadn’t been in school for so long. But I reminded myself that this was an experiment, and I was determined to make it work. Linda, seeing my efforts, also buckled down to her studies, and we often discussed what we’d learned during the day. Linda and I cheered up each other through the time. Whenever one of us felt discouraged, the other would offer words of encouragement. We knew that we were in this together, and that our shared goal of getting an education was worth every ounce of effort. Over time, we both began to see improvements in our grades, and our confidence grew. I realized that it was never too late to pursue my dreams, and that with determination and the support of my daughter, I could achieve anything. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者因家庭贫困15岁辍学，但一直梦想获得文凭。55岁时，在女儿琳达入学时，受秘书鼓励，作者决定重返校园，与女儿一同学习英语和手工艺，试图实现自己未竟的学业梦想。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“再次上学很令人兴奋，但这可不是闹着玩的。”可知，第一段可描写作者重返校园后，面对挑战，她如何努力克服，并与女儿琳达相互支持，共同学习的情景。 ②由第二段首句内容“琳达和我在这段时间里互相鼓励。”可知，第二段可描写作者和琳达在学习的过程中，如何相互打气，共同面对困难，并最终看到成绩提升，信心增强的过程。 2.续写线索：重返校园的挑战——努力克服——相互支持——看到进步——信心增强——实现梦想的可能性 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①下定决心做某事：be determined to do sth/make up one’s mind to do sth ② 意识到：realize that/be aware that ③ 实现：achieve/accomplish 情绪类 ① 感到气馁：feel discouraged/lose heart ② 充满信心：our confidence grew/we were full of confidence ③ 感到兴奋：be excited/feel thrilled 【点睛】【高分句型1】But I reminded myself that this was an experiment, and I was determined to make it work.(运用了that引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】Linda, seeing my efforts, also buckled down to her studies, and we often discussed what we’d learned during the day.(运用了what引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
