I joined the debate club, sharpening my thinking and communication skills through intense discussions and competitions. Math was tough, but teachers’ help and peers’ support got me through challenging problems. However, I deeply realize my flaws. Procrastination made me rush through assignments, often sacrificing quality, and my poor time - management messed up the balance between study and rest. This year, I’ll set strict daily goals, use a planner to track tasks, and kick these bad habits. With lessons learned, I’m ready to embrace Senior Year’s challenges and strive for my dreams. Your friend, Present Me 读后续写： Jake sat beside her, smiling. “You know, Layla,” he said gently, “art isn’t about making something look perfect. It’s about expressing what’s inside you. There’s no right or wrong way to paint. Just close your eyes and think about that beautiful thing in your mind, then let the brush move freely on the canvas.” Layla listened intently, her eyes fixed on Jake. Slowly, she took a deep breath and made the first stroke. Jake watched with encouragement, nodding and offering words of praise for each new color she added. Bit by bit, a beautiful landscape emerged on the canvas. As Layla’s confidence grew, Jake felt a shift within himself. He realized that helping others could bring such a sense of fulfillment. The joy on Layla’s face when she finally saw her completed painting was like a light bulb going off in his head. He understood that his own future didn’t have to be a burden. Just as he had guided Layla to express herself, he could also find his own path step by step. Volunteering wasn’t a waste of time at all. It was a chance to learn, grow, and see the world from a different perspective. From that day on, Jake was no longer weighed down by the unknowns of his future. Instead, he was excited to explore new possibilities and make a difference, just like what he did for Layla. 21．C 22．B 23．A 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四家靠近爱丁堡必游景点的最佳酒店。 21．细节理解题。根据“Wilde Apart Hotel”下面的“The hotel features well-appointed (设备齐全的) serviced apartments that have fully equipped small kitchens, free WiFi, and car parking nearby. The apartments are ideal for those who are staying in the city for more than a night or two and would like to have a small kitchen to enjoy breakfast or lunch.(酒店设有设备齐全的服务式公寓，配有设备齐全的小厨房、免费WiFi和附近的停车场。这些公寓非常适合那些在城市里住一两个晚上以上，且想要有一个小厨房来享用早餐或午餐的人)”可知，王尔德公寓酒店有设备齐全的小厨房，适合那些喜欢自己做饭的顾客。故选C。 22．推理判断题。根据“Scotsman Hotel”下面的“Originally built as The Scotsman newspaper offices in 1905, Scotsman Hotel has been carefully restored into nine floors of rooms and suites with commanding views over the city.(苏格兰人酒店建于1905年，最初是《苏格兰人报》的报社，现已精心修复为九层客房和套房，可俯瞰城市美景)”可推测出，苏格兰人酒店特殊的起源让其不同于其他酒店。故选B。 23．推理判断题。根据标题“The Best Hotels in Edinburgh Close to the Must-See Sights”、第一段中的“Here are some selected hotels, ranging from iconic five-star institutions to new apartment hotels.(以下是一些精选酒店，从标志性的五星级机构到新型公寓酒店)”和最后一段“We hope you love the Edinburgh hotels we recommend!(我们希望你喜欢我们推荐的爱丁堡酒店！)”可知，本文为游客推荐了一些精选酒店，这些酒店靠近爱丁堡的必看景点。由此可推测出，本篇文章最有可能出自一个游客网站（A tourist website），而不是旅行日志（A travel journal）、旅行报告（A tour report）和酒店研究（A hotel research）。故选A。 24. C 25. B 26. B 27. D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。讲述的是的日常生活中的机器人化和智能化给人们带来了便利的同时，使得人们对机器人化变得更加的焦虑。 24. 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“And in areas such as agriculture, where farmers can’t find enough people to pick the produce, robots can shoulder some of those tasks.(在农业等领域，农民找不到足够的人来采摘农产品，机器人可以承担其中的一些任务。)”与划线单词前的内容“But polls (民意调查) show that the growing robotization of the planet makes us feel deeply…(但民意调查显示，地球日益增长的机器人化让我们深深地感受到......)”为转折关系可知，前文讲述的是机器人给人类带来的好处，根据but可知，划线部分所在的句子讲述的是机器人给人们带来的困扰，结合下文“and threatened(且受到威胁)”可确定划线单词的意思是“令人不安”。故选C项。 25. 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Across lines of race, age, and education, people who said automation has hurt workers outnumbered those who said it’s helped workers by two to one.(在不同种族、年龄和教育程度的人群中，认为自动化对工人有害的人比认为自动化对工人有益的人多出两倍。)”可知，更多的人觉得机器人化给人带来的弊大于利。故选B项。 26. 推理判断题。根据第五段““Robots now deliver food in Milton Keynes, England, carry supplies in a Dallas hospital, disinfect (给...消毒) patients’ rooms in China and some European countries, and wander parks in Singapore, asking pedestrians (行人) to maintain social distance,” Berreby writes. (Berreby写道：“机器人现在在英国米尔尔顿凯恩斯送餐，在达拉斯医院搬运用品，在中国和一些欧洲国家为病人的房间消毒，在新加坡的公园漫步，要求行人保持社交距离。”)“可以推知，人类对机器人在各领域都有所依赖。故选B项。 27. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But were not there yet. So far, Berreby reports, robots can’t equal the human mind’s ability to do a lot of tasks, especially unexpected ones, and robots haven’t yet: mastered common sense - all sill required to be a magazine editor.(但我们还没到那一步。Berreby报告说，到目前为止，机器人还不能在很多任务上与人类思维匹敌，尤其是那些意想不到的任务，而且机器人还没有掌握常识——成为一名杂志编辑还需要具备这些能力。)”可以推知，David Berreby对于把机器人看作是又一物种的看法持不赞成的态度。故选D项 28．A 29．C 30．D 31．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了意大利威尼斯的Luca Curci建筑师事务所设计的浮动城市方案。 28．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Driven by alarming estimates that 36.6 million people in Asian coastal cities like Mumbai could face flooding by 2070, Luca Curci Architects, based in Venice, Italy, has released Floating City — a design that would allow urban areas to rise with the waters while making use of renewable energies to reduce their own carbon emissions. (据估计，到2070年，像孟买这样的亚洲沿海城市将有3660万人面临洪水的威胁，意大利威尼斯的Luca Curci建筑师事务所推出了浮动城市——一种能让城市区域随水位上升，同时利用可再生能源减少自身碳排放的设计。)”可知，潜在的灾难促使Luca Curci建筑师事务所提出新设计。故选A项。 29．推理判断题。根据第一段中“a design that would allow urban areas to rise with the waters while making use of renewable energies to reduce their own carbon emissions. (一种能让城市区域随水位上升，同时利用可再生能源减少自身碳排放的设计)”、第二段中“Structures must be flexible like bamboo in wind to resist waves (建筑结构必须像风中的竹子一样灵活，以抵御海浪)”以及第三段中“The project team also envisions a mix of renewable energy sources extracting power from wind, water, and the sun to power the city. During extreme weather, platforms automatically separate and regroup using intelligence algorithms inspired by how fish schools avoid hunters. (项目团队还设想了一种可再生能源的组合，从风能、水能和太阳能中提取电力，为城市供电。在极端天气下，平台会根据鱼群躲避猎人的方式，利用智能算法自动分离和重组。)”可知，该设计能随水位上升，能自适应海浪，具有适应性(adaptable)，且利用多种可再生能源、采用智能算法等，体现了创新性(innovative)。所以Luca Curci的设计具有适应性和创新性。故选C项。 30．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Seawater slowly harms materials, requiring repair every four months (海水会慢慢损坏材料，需要每四个月进行一次维修)”可知，Luca Curci设计的一个局限性是需要定期维护。故选D项。 31．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Driven by alarming estimates that 36.6 million people in Asian coastal cities like Mumbai could face flooding by 2070, Luca Curci Architects, based in Venice, Italy, has released Floating City — a design that would allow urban areas to rise with the waters while making use of renewable energies to reduce their own carbon emissions. (据估计，到2070年，像孟买这样的亚洲沿海城市将有3660万人面临洪水的威胁，意大利威尼斯的Luca Curci建筑师事务所推出了浮动城市——一种能让城市区域随水位上升，同时利用可再生能源减少自身碳排放的设计。)”可知，文章主要围绕“浮动城市”这一设计展开，且该设计可让城市区域随海平面上升而上升。“Rising with the Tides: Floating Cities ()”既体现了城市随海平面上升的特点，又突出了核心设计“浮动城市”。所以此标题能概括文章内容，最适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 32. B 33. D 34. B 35. A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了一本名为《不确定性的艺术》的新书，该书通过直观假设和简单数学阐述了深刻真理，且文字通俗易懂，适合广大读者阅读。 32. 细节理解题。根据第一段中的"'solve this quadratic equation (二次方程式)' would leave the classroom at a loss（"解这个二次方程"会让小学生们不知所措）"可知，对于小学生来说，解二次方程这样的数学问题可能会让他们感到困惑。由此可知，二次方程这样的数学问题会难倒年轻学生。故选B项。 33. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“His new book will appeal to many more than just mathematicians, for its topic is universal: how to analyse chance, uncertainty and risk.(他的新书将吸引更多的人，而不仅仅是数学家，因为它的主题是普遍的：如何分析机会，不确定性和风险。)”可知，因为该书主题的普遍性，他的新书不仅仅会吸引数学家，还会吸引更多人。由此可知，《不确定性的艺术》这本书最大的卖点是它对普通人来说很有意义。故选D项。 34. 推理判断题。根据 “First, he uses them to illustrate broader ideas about how probability and statistics work... through nothing more than some intuitive (直觉的) assumptions and very simple maths.” ，是用现实问题结合简单数学来解释。故选B项。 35. 主旨大意题。文本先是对比数学和历史教学，引出向非专业人士阐释数学思维的书籍珍贵，接着重点介绍了David Spiegelhalter的《The Art of Uncertainty》，所以是为了介绍这本关于数学相关理念的新书，A正确；B只是开头引入内容；C不是主要目的，重点是介绍书籍；D文中未体现劝说人们学习概率和统计。故选A项。 【答案】36．E 37．D 38．A 39．F 40．G 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了构建和谐人际关系的四大关键要素：尊重差异、有效沟通、宽容待人和真诚相待。 36．前文“Respect is the foundation of harmonious relationships. (尊重是和谐关系的基础)”总的指出尊重的重要性，后文“Learning to respect others’ differences and avoiding conflicts caused by prejudice or misunderstanding are key. (学会尊重他人的差异，避免因偏见或误解而引起的冲突是关键)”建议尊重他人的差异，因此E项“Everyone has their own personality, values, and ways of life (每个人都有自己的个性、价值观和生活方式)”符合语境，说明为何需要尊重他人，承前启后。故选E。 37．空处位于段首，是段落主旨句，需统领段落内容，后文“Many times, misunderstandings and conflicts arise from poor communication. Learning to listen to others’ thoughts and feelings and expressing your own views in a careful manner are important. (很多时候，误解和冲突是由于沟通不畅而产生的。学会倾听别人的想法和感受，谨慎地表达自己的观点是很重要的)”主要指出沟通不畅导致的后果，并强调倾听和表达的重要性，因此D项“Communication is the bridge to resolving conflicts (沟通是解决冲突的桥梁)”符合语境，概括该段主旨，引出后文，其中的Communication在后文有同词复现。故选D。 38．前文“Tolerance is not indulgence (纵容) but a form of understanding and acceptance. (宽容不是放纵，而是一种理解和接受)”点明宽容的本质，因此A项“It can make relationships friendlier (它能让关系更友好)”符合语境，说明宽容的作用，承接前文，其中的It指代前文的Tolerance。故选A。 39．前文“Be sincere with others, avoid being fake or pretentious, and treat everyone with a true heart. (对人要真诚，不做作，用一颗真诚的心对待每一个人)”建议真诚待人，因此F项“Good faith can bring people closer and build deep trust and friendship (真诚能拉近人与人之间的距离，建立深厚的信任与友谊)”符合语境，说明真诚待人的积极影响，承接前文。故选F。 40．前文“Through respect, communication, tolerance, and sincerity, we can build good relationships with others. (通过尊重、沟通、宽容和真诚，我们可以与他人建立良好的关系)”指出尊重、沟通、宽容和真诚对建立良好的关系的作用，因此G项“Besides, we can create a more harmonious and beautiful world together (此外，我们可以共同创造一个更和谐美好的世界)”符合语境，进一步说明这对构建和谐世界的作用，承接前文。故选G。 【答案】 41.

I heard you stayed in a hotel by the Victoria Falls. W: Yeah. We were expecting to see the falls and mountains from our room, but instead, we only had a view of the power plant that was fed by the falls. Text 2 M: Would you like a cup of tea and some biscuits? W: Well, I don’t drink tea. Do you have any soda? Or coffee? M: I can make you some coffee but we don’t have anything else besides tea and water. Text 3 W: What happened to your sweater? M: Well, I remembered not to wash it in hot water, but after I washed it, I put it in the dryer and it got smaller. W: Sweaters need to be line-dried. Text 4 M: Have you met the new office manager yet? W: Yes. I tried to talk to him and he must have been in a bad mood. M: Well, I tried to make an appointment with him and he told me he didn’t have time in a very cold tone. Text 5 M: They say they are expecting a thundery shower. W: How can that be? Look at the bright daylight outside. M: You remember last time we were on that picnic and it started raining all of a sudden? W: Yeah, but that was just a spring shower. Text 6 M: Hi Carla, I hope my guests didn’t disturb you when they left last night. I told them to leave quietly, but it was pretty late. W: Hi Richard, no, not at all. But thanks for thinking of me. You’re one of the only considerate ones on this street! M: Don’t get me started! People just leave their cars wherever they want, including places they’re not supposed to park. This neighborhood’s really going downhill. W: Yes, and it’s definitely happening more and more. It’s so annoying! Text 7 W: So, James, why do you choose to work for us? M: Well, I’ll be honest. I’ve had offers from other companies with higher salaries, but that’s not my priority. W: I see. And are you aware that with this job, you may have to work late? M: Yes, I’m fine with that. My concern is that if I went to a bigger company, I’d be stuck in the same position for years. But your advertisement says that there are opportunities for better positions in the future. W: That’s correct. And we encourage people to be active about their career growth here. Text 8 M: Hello, Ms. Parkinson. Are you here for the brochures you asked us to print? W: Yes. And I really appreciate that you were able to print them so quickly. I’m going to mail them out to all my customers on my mailing list next week. M: No problem. I hope they prove to be helpful to your business. Here are the brochures. W: Thanks. Oh ... I think you gave me an extra one. I just ordered a hundred 10-page ones, but there seems to be a 20-page one here as well. Have I been charged for that one? M: Oh, sorry, yes ... I’m not sure how that happened. I’ll give that amount back to you now if you give me your credit card again. While I’m doing that, my colleague will carry these out to your car for you. W: Thanks a lot. Text 9 M: Amy, I heard you took part in the Young Chef competition. What was the rule of the competition? W: Well, in the first stage, everyone had to submit a four-course menu for consideration. We had a budget and had to reveal our character in the dishes. We also had to make sure nothing was thrown away — that was where I really had to think. M: And you got through to the second stage! W: Right! That involved cooking a dish for the judges. We prepared our dishes in the kitchen of an actual restaurant. M: Did everything go as planned? W: Not exactly! I was relieved to find no one was making dishes anything like mine. But as I was about to start cooking, I realized that the pizza stone I wanted to cook my pizza on was in the back of my mom’s car, and she’d gone home! Anyway, the oven did the job just as well. However, it was tense watching the judges taste the food. Their faces completely lacked expression so I had no idea whether they liked it or not. But they loved my dish and I won! M: Congratulations! Text 10 W: This is Ellen Coyle with Talk About the News. In today’s world, some might argue that it doesn’t really matter where you live. That’s not true, according to Richard Florida. In his book Who’s Your City? Richard Florida says the decision about where to live may be the most important one you make. Richard thinks that people tend to gather in certain cities according to the work they do and even the type of personalities they have. Some cities, such as Boston, lead the way in technology and innovation. New York and London are financial centers. Cities like Los Angeles make quality films. Others like Guadalajara are known mainly for producing various products. Why are some cities centers of creativity while others are more likely to focus on producing things? Richard uses recent research to suggest that personality may play a role. Cities like Boston are home to people who are open to experience. They like high levels of activity and new ideas. Most technology companies are in or near these centers of creativity. In cities like Guadalajara, residents are both hard-working and agreeable. They tend to follow rules and work well on teams, qualities that are important in manufacturing.

Humankind has a complicated relationship with robots.On the one hand,we appreciate how they can do dangerous,repetitive work so we don't have to.Robots don't need vacations or medical insurance.And in areas such as agriculture,where farmers can't find enough people to pick the produce,robots can shoulder some of those tasks.But polls(民意调查)show that the growing robotization of the planet makes us feel deeply agitated and threatened. Pew Research Center surveys found that more than 80 percent of Americans believed that by 2050,robots would do much of the work humans now do and about 75 percent believed that would make economic inequality worse.Across lines of race,age,and education,people who said automation has hurt workers outnumbered those who said it's helped workers by two to one. National Geographic sent David Berreby around the world to look at the present and future state of robots in society. "Robots now deliver food in Milton Keynes,England,carry supplies in a Dallas hospital, disinfect (.....patients'rooms in China and some European countries,and wander parks in Singapore,asking pedestrians (to maintain social distance,"Berreby writes. "It's an unavoidable fact that we are going to have machines,artificial creatures;that will be a part of our daily life,"Carnegie Mellon University AI roboticist Manuela Veloso told Berreby."When you start accepting robots around you,like a third species,along with pets and humans,you want to relate to them." A third species?That's a new idea indeed.But were not there yet.So far,Berreby reports, robots can't equal the human mind's ability to do a lot of tasks,especially unexpected ones,and robots haven't yet mastered common sense-all sill required to be a magazine editor. 24.What does the underlined word"agitated"in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Comfortable. B.Proud. C.Worried. D.Disappointed. 25.What did Pew Research Center surveys show? A.Most people regarded workplace automation as good. B.More people thought robots did more harm than good. C.Most people agreed robots helped stimulate the economy. D.More people feared robots would bring more social problems. 高二英语期末试卷第4页共11页 26.What does David Berreby's description imply? A.People enjoy robots'company. B.People have a growing reliance on robots. C.Robots will pose a serious threat to humans. D.Robots will soon replace humans in many fields. 27.What is David Berreby's attitude to accepting robots as a third species? A.Reserved. B.Concerned. C.Favorable. D.Disapproving. C Global sea levels continue to rise despite efforts that cities around the world are making to reduce the effects of climate change and their carbon emissions.One firm,however,is hoping to battle the effects of climate change.Driven by alarming estimates that 36.6 million people in Asian coastal cities like Mumbai could face flooding by 2070,Luca Curci Architects,based in Venice,Italy,has released Floating City-a design that would allow urban areas to rise with the waters while making use of renewable energies to reduce their own carbon emissions. Each 25-acre unit houses 50,000 residents on interconnected platforms,with potential expansion for 200,000and buildings are capped at 90 meters tall for stability."Structures must be flexible like bamboo in wind to resist waves,"explains architect Curci.To achieve this, seawater resistant materials are given priority to,while hollow sections in platforms help them float.Meanwhile,movable bridges are constructed to link these "water neighborhoods"to mainland transport systems. The project team also envisions a mix of renewable energy sources extracting power from wind,water,and the sun to power the city.During extreme weather,platforms automatically separate and regroup using intelligence algorithms inspired by how fish schools avoid hunters. Compared to building artificial islands,this method preserves 68%more marine ( life and uses surfaces that absorb rainwater to reduce flooding risks.However,challenges persist. Seawater slowly harms materials,requiring repair every four months,and emergency plans for extreme weather are still under way."This isn't about abandoning coasts but evolving with them," notes designer Tim Fu. While some question long-term possibility,the design redefines urban resilience.Unlike rigid sea walls,these dynamic structures harmonize with oceanic rhythms,offering a blueprint for climate solutions."Cities must learn to dance with the waves,"Curci says.This philosophy could transform humanity's relationship with rising seas,turning threats into sustainable opportunities. 高二英语期末试卷第5页共11页 28.What drove Luca Curci Architects to come up with a new design? A.Potential disasters. B.Energy crisis. C.Tourism expansion. D.Overcrowded cities. 29.Which of the following best describes Luca Curci's design? A.Fictional and renewable. B.Eco-friendly and immovable. C.Adaptable and innovative. D.Wave-resistant and conventional. 30.A limitation of Luca Curci's design is that A.it threatens marine life B.it ignores coastal water changes C.it lacks clean energy options D.it requires regular maintenance 31.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A.Ocean Protection:Life under Threat B.Rising with the Tides:Floating Cities C.Connecting to the Future:Eco Solutions D.Coastal Design:Inspiration from Bamboo D A challenge of teaching mathematics rather than,say,history is that the homework is a lot harder to come up with.After all,"Was Henry VIII a good king?"is a reasonable question to ask either a classroom of nine-year-olds or a lecture theatre of postgraduates.But "Solve this quadratic equation(二次方程式)”would leave the classroom at a loss and the lecture theatre unimpressed.Maths is leamned by doing and designing a problem that is easy enough to be accessible,yet hard enough to be satisfying,is a big headache in itself. Partly for this reason,books that successfully communicate how mathematicians think, but are aimed at those not already in the field,are both valuable and rare.Now Sir David Spiegelhalter,professor of statistics at the University of Cambridge,has added to the category with The Art of Uncertainty.His new book will appeal to many more than just mathematicians, for its topic is universal:how to analyse chance,uncertainty and risk. If a new virus is running wild and the majority of deaths are among those who have received a newer vaccine,is that evidence that the vaccination program is harmful?How much of top football teams'performance comes down to luck rather than skill?Professor Spiegelhalter's exploration of such questions is delightful.First,he uses them to illustrate broader ideas about how probability and statistics work.So a discussion of vaccine safety proceeds to Bayes's theorem(贝叶斯定s理)，a procedure for improving one's judgment of probabilities as new evidence comes to light.The joy of Professor Spiegelhalter's approach is that he reaches 高二英语期末试卷第6页共11页 this deep truth through nothing more than some intuitive assumptions and very simple maths Most important,though,is Professor Spiegelhalter's skill at communicating these ideas. Much of probability and statistics can go against our intuition,and the maths behind it is often fearsome.But this is not a difficult book to read or understand. 32.What can we know from paragraph 1? A.Designing math homework is easier. B.Quadratic equation may confuse young learners. C.Nine-year-olds enjoy history questions. D.Postgraduates find math problems too simple. 33.What is the biggest selling point of The Art ofUncertainty according to the author? A.It covers various topics. B.It casts light on math thoughts. C.It satisfies maths professionals. D.It makes sense to ordinary people. 34.How does Professor Spiegelhalter explain probability and statistics? A.By using advanced mathematical formulas. B.By analyzing real-life questions with simple maths. C.By discussing complex scientific theories. D.By conducting experiments in lecture theatres. 35.The text is probably written to A.introduce a new book on mathematics B.compare teaching mathematics with history C.explain complex mathematical theories simply D.persuade people to study probability and statistics 高二英语期末试卷第7页共11页 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。 In modern society,getting along with others is like a delicate dance that requires skill, patience,and sincerity.Harmonious relationships not only bring inner peace but also help build a society full of love and understanding.So,how can we get along well with others?
