B While touring Mississippi in an old car, John Ingall and his wife, Jane, discovered a plant that would change their lives— the hardshell gourd (葫芦). At first, it was mere curiosity, but soon, they saw gourds everywhere— carved, hanging, glowing as lanterns. Drawn to them, John, a lifelong farmer, decided to try growing them. Back in Warwickshire, he planted a few seeds among his tomatoes. The plants grew quickly, reaching six feet tall. Weeks later, he found large gourds hidden among the leaves. Since then, he has harvested about a hundred gourds each year, each with a different shape— some long and thin, others round. Unexpectedly, Ingall had been trying to retire when he first discovered gourds. After managing two farms— one from Jane’s family and another for growing crops— he had always planned to stop working at 65. Unlike many farmers who never retire, he wanted to find a new interest. Farming had been his childhood dream, despite his parents’ objections. They, shaped by the Great Depression, had hoped he would take an office job. Yet, his love for rural life never faded. Over 45 years, he moved from dairy to beef, then organic farming, and finally letting the land return to nature. Change, he welcomed— but only in a controlled manner. Yet gourds pushed him beyond his comfort zone. “Not until I started working on them did I realize — I am an artist!” said John. Now, as one of the few gourd artists in the U. K., he creates lanterns with colored glass, astonishing visitors. As well as selling gourds through his personal studio, John markets them at art fairs, donating profits to fight the climate crisis. “It’s very satisfying. Gourds are an entirely sustainable material for many types of art, and every gourd is unique,” he says. “I enjoy growing them. It’s amazing what you can do with gourds.” 24．What motivated John to plant gourds? A．His wife’s encouragement. B．His desire for a new interest. C．His fascination with the plant. D．His longing for a big harvest. 25．What do we know about John? A．He went against his parents will. B．He favored organic farming. C．He had little interest in retiring. D．He resisted the life change. 26．What do gourds mean to John? A．A bond with people. B．A passion of lifetime. C．Ameans of earning money. D．A source of inspiration. 27．Which of the following can best describe John? A．Humorous and caring. B．Talented and generous. C．Committed and humble. D．Ambitious and sensitive. C Do teenagers need to relax? Increasingly not just parents are seeking a break from work and family pressures but adolescents too, coping with “intense schooling and sports programmes”. So much so that the Global Wellness Summit identifies teen wellness as a trend for 2025 with the industry focusing on teenagers’ emotional intelligence, resilience, and how to survive in a digital world through resorts, retreats, and mental wellness apps. Rina Raphael, author of The Gospel of Wellness, tells me wellness— physical and mental health— has replaced the once-dominant fashion and beauty industries. McKinsey reports that Gen Z outspends older consumers on mindfulness-related wellness products such as meditation classes, mindfulness apps, and therapy sessions, even seeking preventive solutions to ageing-related health issues. One of the problems the wellness sector aims to address is mental health. Blame for the mental health crisis has been laid on smartphones. But apps also offer a solution. Many, like Chill Panda and HappiMe are on the UK’s CAMHS (child and adolescent mental health services) website and in demand. A study in The Lancet concluded bans or restrictions at school don’t lead to “better mental wellbeing in adolescents.” Parents have a role too. An intensive parenting often leaves children without examples of parents socialising or pursuing passions. There’s nothing bad about forming healthy habits. But is the wellness industry responding to— or contributing to— the pressures young people face? Think about the new toy package Mattel released five years ago: Wellness Barbie— a more glowing and relaxed version of Barbie and a product in training children to become consumers of wellness. And those baby massage classes dressed up as a wellbeing treatment to improve the infants’ mood and physical health struck me as ridiculous. What’s a baby got to worry about? The idea that experiences bought by parents and offered by the wellness industry solve adolescent anxiety seems unpromising at best. As Raphael points out, the problem with wellness is “it’s very much tied to productivity, aesthetics (美学) and consumerism. It adds a pressure that you have to be working on yourself.” But I can’t see it ending. After all, as Ronald Purser, author of McMindfulness, told me: “You can never be too well; that’s why it’s a massive growth industry”. 高二英语 第 3 页 共 4 页 28．What could be counted as a wellness activity? A．Aiming for top grades nonstop. B．Practicing mindfulness using an app. C．Checking social media for attention. D．Skipping meals to manage body shape. 29．What is a possible reason for teen mental health issues? A．A demand for services. B．A passion for sports. C．A ban on mental health. D．A lack of role models. 30．What would Rina Raphael agree with most? A．The fashion and beauty industries matter more to Gen Z. B．Teenagers are pressured to consume wellness products. C．Wellness Barbie assists children’s adaptation. D．Baby massage classes are not effective as expected. 31．What’s author’s attitude towards the wellness industry? A．Hopeful. B．Calm. C．Critical. D．Pessimistic. D Rise with the sun and rest at sunset— this was the way of life for our ancestors. Thanks to artificial light, we can enjoy a much safer society and around-the-clock productivity. For wildlife, however, studies have shown it disturbs animals’ natural sleep cycles, affects amphibian (两栖的 ) reproduction and throws migrating birds off course. New research in Frontiers in Plant Science investigated how artificial light impacts plant-insect relationships. Researchers from Chinese Academy of Sciences noticed tree leaves in cities typically showed fewer signs of insect damage than those outside of cities, so they analyzed 5,500 leaf samples from two tree species throughout Beijing. Researchers found more artificial light in a given area meant tougher leaves. And the tougher the leaf, the less evidence of hungry insects. They don’t fully understand why, but assume that trees under artificial light at night might be extending their photosynthesis (光合作用) time. “Plants distribute their limited resources, such as nutrients, water and energy, among various functions like growth, reproduction and defense, depending on the environment. Light can affect how plants use resources,” says Ellen Cieraad, a plant ecologist from New Zealand. “Since plants use light for growth, artificial night light could be unnaturally increasing the time trees spend on photosynthesis, allocating more resources to chemical compounds that make leaves tougher.” “If the same applied to leaves of other species, this would be bad news for insects,” researchers said. Changes in plants, and in interactions between plants and animals, can significantly impact the entire urban ecosystem. Herbivorous insects, which rely on leaves for food, may struggle to survive, disrupting the food chain and leading to declines in predators like birds, affecting biodiversity. Insects also play vital roles as pollinators (传粉媒介) and eat decaying plants, helping to break down leaves and returning nutrients to soil. In cities, healthy soil and healthy plant life supported by insects are good for humans, as plants provide shade and reduce heat trapped in cities. Moving forward, researchers are committed to refining their discovery, aiming to guide people to take corresponding actions. 32．What influence does artificial light bring according to the text? A．It toughens tree leaves. B．It shortens animals’ sleep hours. C．It illuminates birds’ migrating routes. D．It increases amphibian reproduction rates. 33．Why is Ellen Cieraad quoted in paragraph 3? A．To raise a concern. B．To introduce a concept. C．To support an assumption. D．To clarify a misunderstanding. 34．Which of the following best summarizes the phenomenon in paragraph 4? A．Time heals all wounds. B．Nature always finds a way. C．A chain is as strong as its weakest link. D．A small move may affect the bigger picture. 35．What will the following research probably focus on? A．Helping insects adapt to city environments. B．Figuring out approaches to enhancing soil quality. C．Setting standards for city plants under artificial light. D．Finding ways to reduce harm from nighttime light. 第二节（共 5小题；每小题 2. 5分，满分 12. 5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出能够填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Power of Poetry People are suffering from depression and anxiety now more than ever. To help ease the pain, they are turning to new approaches and, believe it or not, poetry is one of them. It’s common sense that reading fiction can increase empathy (同理心). 1 Well, for decades, scientific studies have proven that poetry has a beneficial impact in managing pain, handling stress and improving personal well-being. Let’s dive a bit deeper, and consider some specific ways in which poetry can help mental health. Poetry can be a form of comfort. By reading poetry, we can get the escapism we long for, transporting us out of our own world and into someone else’s. 2 Trying to uncover the meaning of a poem can give us a necessary break from our inner monologue as well. It can be a shared experience. Poems are often quite emotional in nature. 3 There’s something quite comforting in the knowledge that we’re not alone and that our pain is shared with someone else. Poetry often reveals that there is universality (普遍性) in the human experience. 4 Many poems creatively tackle some sensitive topics like depression, anxiety, abuse, poverty, all of which can be found in a poetic form, empowering both the poet and the reader. To put it lightly, life is tough, but it’s important to remember that we’re not alone. The next time you’re feeling hopeless, try diving into the works of a poet. 5 Who knows? A．However, how does it work? B．But what’s so special about poetry? C．As the saying goes, misery loves company. D．Poetry can also be a platform for change and advocacy. E．You might be inspired to write some poetry of your own. F．Chances are that you will hear the love songs of the poet. G．The repetition and rhyme found in it can relieve our pain. 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节；满分 30 分） 第一节 完型填空（共 15小题；每小题 1分, 满分 15分） 高二英语 第 4 页 共 4 页 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意。然后从各题所给的四个选项 A、B、C和 D中，选出最佳 选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 After a decade at a celebrated Wall Street bank, I hit a career ceiling.

Celebrated for its 57 (art) and cultural significance, Thangka was officially designated as part of China’s intangible cultural heritage in 2006. One of the leading institutions 58 (commit) to the preservation and development of this ancient art is the Tibetan Academy of Thangka (TAT), which 59 (locate) in Lhasa.The academy specializes in the Mansar School of Thangka painting, renowned for its intricate designs and vibrant color schemes. Visitors 60 the TAT can witness the entire creative journey of a Mansar School Thangka, from the initial sketch to the final brushstroke. Creating a Thangka is a lengthy process that usually takes six to seven years to master. Sketching is a fundamental skill in Thangka painting. “The key to success lies in maintaining a steady hand. Simple 61 it may sound, it requires a substantial amount of practice. Actually, I spent four years 62 (perfect) that skill,” explained Goinqogyai, Vice President of the TAT. In the past, Thangka art was traditionally passed down from father to son or from master to apprentice, but exclusive to men only. However, this changed after the democratic reform in Xizang in the 1950s. Today, there are many schools in the region 63 courses are offered to teach Thangka art, and the proportion of female students is on the rise. “Among the 64 (graduate) last year, girls accounted for more than half,” said the authority. In recent years, numerous Thangka schools, studios, and university programs 65 (establish) to attract young people to this profession, keeping Thangka painting’s rich tradition flourishing. 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分 40 分） 第一节(满分 15分) 66. 假如你是李华。在即将升入高三之际，很多学生学习状态不佳，不适应逐渐加快的学习 节奏。学生会邀请你作为学生代表在期末总结大会上给全校师生发表演讲，请你从以下几个方面 准备一份英语发言稿: 1.指出现象；2.具体建议；3.表达祝愿。 注意：1.词数 80左右； 2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 ___________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节(满分 25分) 67. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 After getting up late on a sleepy Sunday, I saw my dad at the kitchen table reading the Sunday edition of the local newspaper. I made a quick sandwich and sat down next to him, asking him what was new. He turned to me in low spirits and said the council was planning to tear down the community garden nearby. He mentioned that he used to work on it with his dad, so the place had some childhood memories for him. He then put down the paper, walked over to the closet and after a bit of hunting, pulled out a thick, black book. Inside, there were several old photos. After thumbing through a few pages, my dad found the one of him and his dad together at the community garden, just as he had said “Wow, your cheeks were super rosy back then!” I said, astonished. With nothing planned for the afternoon, my dad and I decided to take a trip over to the community garden to see how it was doing these days. Not good, as it turned out. Soda cans, cigarette ends and other garbage spread everywhere. Pots of soil were still there, but the few plants that remained were either dead or dying. We looked at each other and knew what we had to do. After gathering some tools and garbage bags, we went straight to clean up the place. I phoned some of my school friends, and soon a half-dozen people were collecting garbage and sweeping paths. Someone had even brought bags of fresh seeds and soil along with new flowers, so we uprooted the old dead plants and flowers and planted new ones. After a few hours, the community garden looked totally transformed. Despite our hard work, there was still the matter of the coming council vote. We created a plan: to take photos of the garden and spread the news about the vote. Using the photos, we would then collect signatures (签名 ) to show continued local interest and then present them to the council. 注意：1. 续写词数应为 150个左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para 1: Later, we came to the council with the signatures. __________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: Ultimately, we were pleased to see our efforts paid off. _________________________________________________________________________ 高二英语 第 5 页 共 4 页 南昌中学 2024-2025学年度下学期期末考试 高二英语试卷参考答案 听力： 1-5 CACBA 6-10 BBABA 11-15 BCAAC 16-20 BCBBA 阅读： 21-23 BAC 24-27 CADB 28-31 BDBC 32-35 ACDD 36-40 BGCDE 完形填空： 41-45 CADCA 46-50 DBCAB 51-55 DDCBB 语法填空： 56. a 57. artistic 58. committed 59. is located 60. to 61. as/though 62. perfecting 63. where 64. graduates 62. have been established 应用文： 66. One possible version: Good morning, everyone! I’m Li Hua. On behalf of the would-be Senior 3 students, I feel honored to give a speech here. Recently, many of us have been feeling stressed, struggling to keep up with the increasingly fast pace of learning. So, what can we do? As the old saying goes, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Only by striking a balance between study and rest can we ensure learning efficiency. What’s more, it is wise to turn to our parents or teachers for practical guidance and timely comfort when necessary. Finally, take action now. Every effort counts! Hope my advice is beneficial to you. I believe with our persistence and effort, we will absolutely overcome these difficulties. Thank you! 67. One possible version: Later, we came to the council with the signatures. In the meeting room, we met several council members who cared about the community garden. We presented our case for the garden, along with the signatures, and showed the photos of the garden before and after our clean-up, highlighting the positive changes we’d made. The signatures we collected demonstrated the strong local support for preserving the garden. The council members listened carefully, and we could see their expressions softening as they realized what this garden meant to the community. They held a debate on whether to go through with the plan to preserve the garden. Ultimately, we were pleased to see our efforts paid off. A few weeks later, we got the news that the council had voted and decided to save the garden. My dad and I hugged each other tightly, tears of joy in our eyes. It was a victory for everyone who had worked so hard to make a difference. The garden became a place where people could come together and enjoy nature. It was a reminder that even small actions could lead to big changes when people came together with a common goal. We celebrated our success with a gathering at the garden, feeling proud of what we’d achieved. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在一个困倦的星期天早上，从父亲那了解到市 政议会计划拆除附近社区花园，这是给作者父亲留下了一些美好的童年回忆的地方，所以作 者与父亲去社区花园看看情况，发现花园里垃圾遍地，花草枯萎，于是拿起工具并叫上几个 朋友一起帮助清理并重新改造社区花园，几个小时候，社区花园变了一幅面貌，并且制定计 划争取留住社区花园的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“后来，我们带着签名来到理事会。”可知，第一段可描写作者他们为留 住社区花园都做些什么努力。 ②由第二段首句内容“最终，我们很高兴看到我们的努力得到了回报”可知，第二段可描写花 园最终保住了，以及后期社区花园的变化以及作者与父亲的感受。 2. 续写线索：拍照签名收集——为社区花园辩护——理事会成员商议——否决拆除计划—— 社区花园的变化——父亲与作者的感受。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①展示：present/display ②证明：demonstrate/prove ③组织：hold/organize 情绪类 ①喜悦：joy/pleasure ②自豪的：proud/noble 【点睛】 [高分句型 1]In the meeting room, we met several council members who cared about the community garden.(who引导的定语从句) [高分句型 2]A few weeks later, we got the news that the council had voted and decided to save the garden.(that引导的同位语从句) 听力材料： (Text 1) M: Come back next week and we’ll work on those arms and legs, and don’t forget to do those exercises at home.

It’s called “Distant Eyes”, and it goes something like this…… 高二英语 第 6 页 共 4 页 (Text 6) M: What do you think about online learning? W: I think online learning is great. The thing I like best is that you don’t have to wait to go to class. You can learn about something anytime you want. M: Is the quality as good, though? W: I think so. There are so many resources to help you. I think it’s very useful and convenient. M: Is it good for learning languages? W: Yes, you may even talk directly to a native speaker for speaking practice. M: That sounds great, but what worries me most is that the courses would be much too expensive. (Text 7) W: My goodness, this is beautiful. M: Wonderful, isn’t it? Most people don’t like it when it rains like this, but I do because you get natural beauty like that. W: I don’t mind a bit of rain, and it’s even better with the sun shining like this. M: Yeah, sun and rain aren’t often out together, but when they are, it’s great. Having no wind is a bonus as well. Windy days are just no fun at all. It ruins everything, and it makes cycling almost impossible. W: Unless the wind is behind you. M: Yes, that’s very true! Good point. Shall we walk over there? W: No. I’m enjoying sitting here with my best friend in the world! Sometimes life is better when you just sit back, relax and do nothing. M: I couldn’t agree more. Just think, this seat is the same one we sat in all those years ago. We watched the sleepy sun go down then as well. How long ago was that? W: We were married 21 years ago. M: Really? Wow! How time flies! (Text 8) M: Do you sell oranges? W: Normally, yes, but we haven’t had a delivery today. We have some nice pears, and strawberries are fresh today. M: It’s OK. I’ll take them. I want to make juice from them. W: Oh yes, you can’t say no to the taste of fresh pear juice. Healthy as well. M: I was hoping it might make me feel better. I haven’t been feeling well lately. W: I’m sorry to hear that. What’s the problem? M: I’m not sure. I merely don’t feel well. W: Maybe you just need a good night’s sleep. M: I don’t think so. I’m sleeping very well. I just don’t feel so good. W: I’d go to hospital if I were you. You may be given something to stop it. M: You’re probably right. (Text 9) W: Hi Colin. Where are you going? M: Hi Janet. To the camera shop in town. W: Which one? M: It must have been a long time since you went to town. There’s only one camera shop these days. W: Really? M: Yes, the one on Dixon Street closed years ago. The one on Edgar Street survived until last year, and the only one now is on Hatfield Street. W: That’s a shame. I suppose cameras aren’t as popular these days. Nowadays you can take good pictures with a phone, so suddenly everybody is a photographer. M: Most camera shops can’t compete with Internet prices. In fact, the same is true for other shops. W: What are you going to buy? M: Some memory cards. There’s a sale on today. W: Do you still take photographs professionally? M: Sometimes people ask for pictures of their kids, but usually I just take pictures of plants and animals for pleasure. I am doing a wedding on Saturday, though. (Text 10) Good morning. I am Bradley, assistant to the director James. He is very busy at the moment preparing for the next scene, so if you have any questions, come to me rather than him. Trust me, I’m much more approachable. I believe for many of you this is the first time, so I’m going to give you a couple of tips and then explain what today’s plan is. For background actors, you want to make it look like you are talking and having a nice time, so smile. But, when you talk, you just have to move your lips. The microphones on set are very sensitive, so don’t actually speak, just mouth the words. For this scene, several of you will be sitting at tables as if you were in a restaurant. A few more of you will be standing by the bar. We also need three actors to look like waiters, so you three — Jack, Luke, and David, can you go to the costume department to get fitted for waiter uniforms? The rest of you, let’s go to the make-up truck and get you all pretty.
