B In these days of electronic everything, you’d think that most businesses wouldn’t be using paper cheques (支票) any more. In fact, for most businesses, paper cheques are still a thing. As many as one in three business deals are paid this way and 81% of firms in the US are still using paper cheques to settle some of their bills. Stop the eye-rolling because yeah, we know electronic payments are quicker to make, authorize and complete, and they’re easier to track and report. They save paper and are good for the environment. They’re more secure, efficient and cost less. They can be made and approved from anywhere. A growing number of businesses not only prefer electronic payments, but are requiring customers to do this. Even Microsoft recently announced that it would no longer accept paper cheques from its partners. But still ... I’m going to miss the paper cheque. I’ve always enjoyed the circumstance of the biweekly cheque run and the grandest part is the final approval evidenced by the ultimate proof of authority: the signature. Some of my clients take delight in the opportunity to examine and sign every cheque because there’s no better example of power than this. Paper cheques are not only a written form of contracts favored by firms throughout history but also a form of marketing where companies can proudly display their logos. They are clear evidence of stability and reliability. Unfortunately, the writing is on the wall for the paper cheque. And that makes me sad. According to the Small Business Administration, the majority of small business owners are over the age of 50. We grew up with Swanson TV Dinners, hockey without helmets (头盔) and appointed smoking sections in airplanes. We’ll retire and younger generations will bury us along with our chequebooks. We know this will unavoidably change. For now, many businesses in the US are still relying on paper cheques to pay. Yes, they’re inefficient and costlier. But please be patient. Allow me to have this one little enjoyment while it lasts. 4. What phenomenon does the author describe in paragraph 1? A. Doing business is increasingly difficult. B. Everything is going electronic in the US. C. Paper cheques are still in use in business. D. Most American firms fail to pay the bills. 5. What does Microsoft’s decision indicate? A. The growing trend of shifting to electronic payments. B. The change in forms of cooperation in big companies. C. The potential comeback of paper cheques in the market. D. The popularity of electronic payments among customers. 6. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3? A. Defend his preference. B. Introduce a new concept. C. Call for readers’ support. D. Promote an old tradition. 7. Why does the author mention Swanson TV Dinners and hockey without helmets? A. To emphasize the outdated nature of past trends. B. To show his attachment to old-school practices. C. To stress his resistance to technological changes. D. To suggest the reliability of traditional methods. C For students chasing lasting wealth the best choice of a college major is less obvious than you might think. Conventional wisdom says computer science and engineering majors have higher earnings than liberal arts graduates. This is true for the first job, but the long-term story is more complicated. Computer science and engineering majors aged 23 and 25 earned an average of $61,744, according to a recent survey. This was 37 percent higher than the average starting salary of $45,032 earned by history or the social sciences majors. These engineers roughly doubled their starting salaries by age 40, to an average of $124,458. Yet earnings growth is even faster in other majors, and some catch up completely. By age 40, the average salary of all college graduates was $111,870, and social science and history majors earned $131,154 - an average that is lifted, in part, by high-paying jobs in management, business and law. One reason for the narrowing gap is that STEM jobs change rapidly, and workers must constantly learn new skills to keep up. Job ads for software developers and engineers were more likely to ask for skills that didn’t exist a decade earlier. We can also see this by looking at changes in college course catalogs. Machine Learning, one of the largest courses in the Stanford computer science department did not exist until 2003. Today, it enrolls more than a thousand students. In contrast, liberal arts majors maintain a more traditional curriculum with fewer changes. Why do the earnings of poets catch up? It’s not because poetry suddenly pays the bills. Midcareer salaries are highest in management and business occupations, fields which liberal arts majors are more likely than STEM graduates to enter. A liberal arts education builds a set of foundational skills, such as written communication, problem-solving, and the ability to work in a team, which serve students well in a rapidly changing job market. To clarify, I am not suggesting students avoiding STEM majors. But I do think we should be cautious of the impulse to make college curriculums overly technical and career-focused. A four-year degree should prepare students for the next 40 years of working life, and for a future that none of us can imagine. 8. What do the figures in Paragraph 2 reveal? A. Engineers earn less than social scientists. B. STEM careers guarantee the highest pay. C. Liberal arts earnings grow to match STEM. D. Social science majors excel in high-paying fields. 9. What is the reason for the narrowing earnings gap? A. Liberal arts majors’ salaries start higher. B. STEM workers experience skill updates. C. Liberal arts majors avoid traditional careers. D. STEM majors maintain a traditional curriculum. 10. What is the author’s view on college curriculums? A. Students should avoid STEM majors. B. Art degrees should be career-oriented. C. STEM majors must focus on the future. D. Balance is preferred over technical focus. 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. Engineers Start Faster, but Poets Catch up B Constant Skill Updating for STEM Careers C. Management and Business: Paths to Wealth D. How to Balance Skills With Lifelong Learning D France has not allowed smartphone use in primary or secondary schools since 2018, claiming that it would help children focus, reduce their social media use and cyberbullying. The Netherlands and Hungary initiated similar bans in 2024. The key question facing them is whether banning smartphones in schools offers any benefits to mental health. A 2021 US Surgeon General report revealed a 40% rise in feelings of hopelessness among American high school students between 2009 and 2019, with 48% of lifelong mental-health problems (like depression and anxiety) originating in adolescence. It is tempting to connect these trends with the increased availability of smartphones, but establishing a causal connection is difficult. Part of the problem is that smartphones contain multitudes. Using a smartphone to solve crosswords or read the news may well have distinctly different psychological effects than intensive social-media use. Additionally, Children’s brain undergoes profound changes during adolescence, meaning that any research on the effects of smartphone use needs to consider the developmental age of the children being studied as well as their precise smartphone habits. Few studies fully address these slight differences. A 2022 Cambridge University study of 17,409 youths aged between 10 and 21 linked increased social media use to reduced life satisfaction, particularly in girls aged 11 — 13 and boys aged 14 — 15. However, school-level bans alone may be insufficient. Research in The Lancet compared schools with strict and relaxed smartphone policies, finding no mental health differences between groups. While heavy smartphone users showed declines, policy strictness had no measurable effect. Researchers are trying to paint a complete picture with both hands tied behind their back. According to Dr. Orben, social media companies routinely refuse to give independent researchers access to detailed data on the behaviors of their users. This forces researchers to rely on less accurate measures, like overall screen time. It also means that children playing educational games are being put in the same analytical bin as children who are on social media. A more detailed picture of the effects of smartphones needs to be painted. 12. What is the purpose of Paragragh1? A. To illustrate a point. B. To present a solution. C. To introduce the topic. D. To describe a phenomenon. 13. What’s the main barrier to linking smartphones to mental health issues? A. The varied purposes of smartphone apps. B. The changes in children’s smartphone habits. C. The ineffectiveness of strict school policies. D. The complexity of proving direct causation. 14. What is the author’s attitude toward school-level smartphone bans? A. Supportive. B. Skeptical. C. Indifferent. D. Neutral. 15. Which might be a suitable title for the article? A. Smartphone Bans Alone: Limited Impact on Youth Mental Health B. Smartphones in Schools: Balancing Risks and Educational Benefits C. The Rise of Social Media: A Primary Cause of Adolescent Depression D. Global Bans on Smartphones: A Simple Solution to Teen Mental Health 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。 The bad news about the boiling hot weather is on every screen. The good news, however, is that even as temperatures rise, destruction can be minimised. Rich, hot places such as Phoenix, Kuwait and Singapore are adapting, as did parts of Europe after that heatwave two decades ago. ____16____ The basic idea is simple: get people out of the sun and into the cool. Air conditioning, which is affordable, is part of the answer. ____17____ However, if powered by renewable energy, it is not bad for the climate. More importantly, extreme heat can cause diseases like heart problems. Populations that are not used to it are more vulnerable (易受伤害的), so are the elderly. A study in The Lancet concluded that there were 345,000 heat-related deaths worldwide among the over-65s, and that it would have been 50% higher without air conditioning. ____18____ Some quick and cheap fixes can stand out. For example, workplaces and schools need to be more flexible. When it is extremely hot, shade and water breaks must be provided for outdoor workers. As for children, they should be allowed to study from home. ____19____ Some American cities have “heat relief centers” - as do others in China and Vietnam. Often these are ordinary buildings with air conditioning, from libraries to offices, that can temporarily be opened to all. ____20____ Architects in Singapore design buildings to make wind pass through the city, while a vast tree-planting effort provides shade and keeps moisture (湿润) for the city. However, it takes time and a mountain of cash to redesign the place where we live. A. More places need similar guidelines. B. Rethinking how cities are built can help, too. C. Besides, creating more cool public spaces is useful. D. Therefore, it contributes to saving lives during hot days. E. Some environmentalists try to avoid this wonderful technology. F. Far from being a series of unusual events, this is the new normal. G. Rather than sitting by, the rest of the world should also take action. 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白处的最佳选项。 I had always been terrified of snakes, a fear that was deeply rooted in my childhood.

I followed them to the station, where the young man introduced Humphrey, a hognose snake. He explained how the snake, ____27____ by nature, would ____28____ dead when threatened. I tried to keep a safe distance, but one of the boys encouraged me to hold the snake. With a prayer for courage, I ____29____ agreed. To my surprise, Humphrey wasn’t cold and slimy but dry and soft. As he _____30_____ himself along my arm and looked into my eyes, I realized my _____31_____ was based on misunderstandings. Humphrey’s calmness taught me that bravery doesn’t mean the _____32_____ of fear, but the ability to face it. Though I remain _____33_____ about snakes, I’ll never forget Humphrey. He showed me that true courage lies in overcoming fear, not _____34_____ it. As the saying goes, the brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who _____35_____ that fear. 21.

Tom was 11 years old. He was tall, dark and handsome and had a lot of dreams. He had always dreamt of living in a city. He was always his dad’s charm, as he was not quite happy to spend time with his mom. All he could remember about his mom was her scars, red and white scars on her face, neck and hands. He always felt unpleasant to see his mom’s face. But what he did not know was that his mom scratched her beauty to save him from a fire when he was one year old. Not wanting to burden him with it, Tom’s parents kept it a secret. His mom Maria used to drop him to school and pick him up every day. He felt awkward to see his mom with that scarred face standing in front of the school gate. As he was laughing and chatting with his fellow schoolmates, all of them became silent and started staring at the gate. So, Tom turned towards the gate with a lot of curiosity. He froze when seeing his mom, face covered with a piece of cloth. Tom felt ashamed and rushed out of the school with lots of anger. With days passing by, Tom started to dislike his mom more. He did not like to get picked up or dropped by his mom. He felt that she was ugly and so abnormal. As he grew old, he stopped going out with her to the market or anywhere outside. Kamala tried her best to make her son happy, got him everything that he wanted and gave him his space. She understood what her son was going through and felt pity for herself and sad for her son, as she was helpless. When Tom turned 16, he was sent to a city high school 80 kilometers away from his coastal village. The very thought of not being with his ugly mother made him very happy. Three years later, then came Tom’s graduation ceremony. His parents didn’t want to be absent from such an important occasion, so they managed to be there without informing Tom. 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。 Tom was shocked when he saw his parents appear at the ceremony hall. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hesitating for a moment, Tom’s father told him everything that happened many years ago. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 新洲一中阳逻校区2026届高二下期末考试 英语试题 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 are the speakers talking about?

I believe this trend is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, these short videos make learning fun and convenient. On the other hand, relying only on short videos has risks. Most videos focus on isolated words or phrases without teaching grammar rules or context. This might lead to incomplete knowledge. So I recommend selecting high-quality educational accounts and limiting daily video time to 15 minutes. Most importantly, combine short videos with textbook review to build a solid foundation. Let’s make the best use of short videos to improve our English. 第二节(满分25分) 【47题答案】 【答案】Possible version: Tom was shocked when he saw his parents appear at the ceremony hall. He stood rooted to the floor for a moment, not knowing what to do. Seconds later, he tried to contain himself and awkwardly walked up to greet his father, ignoring his mother’s existence. But when he heard others whispering about his mum’s ugly face, embarrassment came over him. With anger written all on his face, he pushed his mum hard out of the hall. Seeing Tom’s mum leave with deep sorrow, his father followed her out. Hesitating for a moment, Tom’s father told him everything that happened many years ago. His mum got burnt severely to save him in a terrible fire. Tears streamed down his face when he recollected how much he had hurt her all these years, how he had ignored her and he realized the amount of pain and agony she had gone through. After the ceremony, he found his mum and embraced her, saying “Sorry” again and again. From then on, he thought of his mom’s face even with scars as the most beautiful face in the world and his mom as the most respected woman in the world. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
