But that doesn’t mean their cars will be fully self-driving — that day still remains far in the future. Automakers like General Motors (GM), Ford and Stellantis are introducing, or upgrading existing technologies. But in the words of Kay Stepper, an automated driving expert, these systems are “feet off” and “hands off”, but they will not be “eyes off” or “mind off”. For the time being, these systems will only be used on limited-access highways, where there are no pedestrians or bicyclists. Vehicles with this technology will be able to drive at relatively high speeds, but only in simple traffic situations. Bryan Reimer, a researcher with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Age Lab, said it will be decades before people can buy truly-self-driving cars in which humans ride as passengers, Still, the technology that will be rolled out by the major automakers this year will do more than most so-called Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, or ADAS, do now. GM’s Super Cruise system allows drivers to completely let go of the steering wheel while driving on selected highways. It was introduced in 2017 on the Cadillac CT6 sedan, which was discontinued last year. An improved version is coming this year on the Cadillac Escalade SUV and the Cadillac CT 4 and CT5 sedans. Super Cruise only works on highways that have been previously laser-mapped in three dimensions. GPS positioning and the vehicles, radar sensors and cameras are used to enable drivers to unhand — and unfoot — all the controls. Drivers still need to pay attention, however. A camera in the car makes sure the driver is looking at the road at all times. If the driver looks away from the road for more than a few seconds, the system will stop working. 8. At present, what can the self-driving cars do? A. They can drive freely on city streets. B. They can run without human drivers. C. They handle complex road conditions on their own. D. They allow drivers to take their hands off the steering wheel. 9. What can we infer from the words of Kay Stepper? A. People need to trust new technology. B. People still need to pay attention. C. People can look away from the road. D. People can’t unhand all the controls. 10. What does Paragraph 6 mainly talk about? A. GM’s Super Cruise system. B. GM’s latest car models. C. GM’s development plan. D. GM’s close competitors. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了今年各大汽车制造商将推出的自动驾驶技术，这些技术允许司机在某些情况下松开双手，但仍需保持注意力集中，且目前这些技术主要适用于高速公路等简单交通环境。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“This year, new technologies will enable more drivers to take their hands off the steering wheel (方向盘) while on the road.(今年，新技术将使更多的司机能够在行驶时松开方向盘)”可知，目前的自动驾驶汽车允许司机松开方向盘。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“But in the words of Kay Stepper, an automated driving expert, these systems are “feet off” and “hands off”, but they will not be “eyes off” or “mind off”.(但正如自动驾驶专家凯·斯蒂珀所说，这些系统是“脚松开”和“手松开”，但它们不会“眼睛离开”或“大脑离开”)”可知，Kay Stepper暗示人们在使用这些系统时，虽然手脚可以松开，但眼睛和大脑仍需保持专注，即人们仍需保持注意力。故选B项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第六段“GM’s Super Cruise system allows drivers to completely let go of the steering wheel while driving on selected highways. It was introduced in 2017 on the Cadillac CT6 sedan, which was discontinued last year. An improved version is coming this year on the Cadillac Escalade SUV and the Cadillac CT 4 and CT5 sedans.(通用的超级巡航系统允许司机在选定的高速公路上完全松开方向盘。该系统于2017年首次在凯迪拉克CT6轿车上推出，该车型已于去年停产。今年，凯迪拉克Escalade SUV以及凯迪拉克CT4和CT5轿车将推出改进版)”可知，本段主要介绍了通用的超级巡航系统，包括其功能、首次推出的车型以及即将推出的改进版车型。故选A项。 D Born on July 1st, 1948, in the small Italian city of Palmi, Roberto Crea was a genius kid. He moved to the Netherlands and majored in Biological Chemistry. It was this university that directed his interest in the synthesis(合成) of nucleotides, the basic units that are required to build DNA. At that time, not many researchers studied the combination of genes, but Roberto’s strong chemistry background made a historical invention possible. In 1977, he joined the Genentech, Inc. and the gene synthesis team at City of Hope Medical School. The company funded Dr. Crea’s ongoing research on gene synthesis. After working day and night, the brilliant individual finally invented a new procedure that improved the chemical synthesis of genes. Thanks to his rich knowledge and the joint efforts of the excellent Genentech team, he made use of this discovery to produce the human insulin(胰岛素) genes, A and B. It was his invention that allowed Genentech to be labeled as the first producer of human protein. This benefited hundreds of millions of people suffering from diabetes(糖尿病) all over the world. Today Roberto is known as the father of synthetic insulin and almost won the Nobel Prize. His efforts did not stop after discovering the synthetic insulin; in fact, he was more than driven and tried to make more contributions to the field of biotechnology. His team of experts discovered Ziconotide under his teachings and guidance. According to leading scientists and researchers, this drug is more powerful and effective than morphine(吗啡), and the best part of this is that it has zero side-effects. Dr. Roberto Crea has a long list of creditable discoveries and researches that he has achieved in 65 years of his life. He is an inspiration for many individuals who aim to add value to humanity with the help of science. 11. What may contribute to Roberto’s invention of the human insulin genes? A. His good luck in his life. B. His curiosity about his study. C. His creative imagination. D. His knowledge of chemistry. 12. What do the underlined words “this discovery” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. A special way of producing human protein. B. A reliable method for curing people of diabetes. C. A new procedure for improving gene synthesis. D. A simple technique of separating human genes. 13. What do we know about Roberto in Paragraph 3? A. He won a Nobel Prize. B. He stuck to his scientific research. C. He discovered morphine with his team. D. He retired after making the great discovery. 14. Which of the following best describes Roberto? A. Enthusiastic and generous. B. Courageous and calm. C. Ambitious and patient. D. Committed and talented. 【答案】11. D 12. C 13. B 14.

This “silent language” often speaks louder than words, and understanding it can help you connect better with others. Body language includes facial expressions, gestures, posture, and eye contact. ____16____. For example, maintaining steady eye contact usually shows you’re listening, while looking away frequently might signal distraction. A smile can build trust, but a forced smile — one without crinkles around the eyes — may feel insincere. ____17____. Standing up straight with shoulders back can make you appear confident, even if you’re nervous. On the other hand, slouching (含胸) or hunching (弯腰) might make you seem uninterested or insecure. These postures don’t just affect how others see you; they can also change how you feel about yourself. Studies show that “power poses” (like hands on hips) can boost your own confidence levels. Cultural differences also play a big role in body language. ____18____. In many Western countries, a firm handshake is a common greeting, but in some Asian cultures, a gentle bow is more polite. Making direct eye contact might be seen as respectful in one place but rude in another. Being aware of these differences helps avoid misunderstandings. ____19____. Next time you talk to someone, pay attention to their gestures and your own. Notice how a small change — like uncrossing your arms or smiling — can make the conversation feel more open. Over time, this awareness will help you become a better communicator, both in daily life and future situations like job interviews or presentations. A. Posture is another key part of body language B. This is the power of body language at work C. It’s never too late to start learning about body language D. Different cultures may interpret the same gesture differently E. Each of these sends important signals to the people around you F. Body language can also influence your own emotions and confidence G. However, body language isn’t just about understanding others 【答案】15. B 16. E 17. A 18. D 19.

In the process of getting along, we found that we both enjoy reading and watching science fictions. With similar hobbies, our relationship immediately became closer. We went to class and canteen together every day in pairs. Although we considered each other as the best friend, there were frictions in our life style. I was never very neat, while Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other and never stopped trying to change the other person’s life style. Our friendship went ups and downs like a boat on the sea. Dissatisfaction with the other was accumulating. War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I was rather irritated (激怒). How could she act like that? I could not control my temper either. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder. Neither of us was willing to calm down to be a good listener. The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her dear grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled under her covers, burying her face. From where I stood, I saw her back slightly up and down. Obviously, she was sobbing. That was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart. Slowly I began to move. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ She was watching in disbelief, her tears dried. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Slowly I began to move. Approaching Kate’s bed, I sat beside her, put my hand on her back and stroked her gently. “Don’t worry! Trust me! Everything will be fine.” On hearing my words, Kate stopped sobbing, her face still buried. So I continued, “I’m really sorry for being such a messy person and I’m sure there is something I can do right now.” With the words finished, I rose up, turned around, collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching in disbelief, her tears dried. Kate dashed towards me all of a sudden and gave me a tight hug, murmuring shyly, “I need to apologize too. I shouldn’t have yelled at you first. Are we still best friends?” I nodded. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She said “Thanks”, and we both burst out laughing happily at the same time. Two months later, there came the good news that Kate’s grandma had recovered. Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为中心展开，主要讲述作者和室友凯特之间的冲突和友谊。作者是一个很随意，生活中很邋遢的人，而室友凯特是一个很认真，很爱干净的人。终于有一天，凯特实在是忍受不了作者又随意扔在凯特床下面的鞋子，两个人之间爆发了一场激烈的争吵。争吵过程中，凯特接到了一通电话，之后就伤心地蒙上被子哭了起来。作者可以感觉到，是凯特的奶奶生了很严重的病。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“慢慢地，我开始动起来。”可知，第一段可描写作者开始安慰室友并且整理寝室的事情。 ②由第二段首句内容“她难以置信地看着，眼泪干了。”可知，第二段可描写作者和室友关系和好的事情。 2.续写线索：安慰——道歉——整理——难以置信——道歉——感谢——和好——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①轻抚：stroke/pat ②收集，整理：collect/put together ③坚持：hold on/persist in 情绪类 ①抱歉的：sorry/apologetic ②高兴地：happily/cheerfully 【点睛】【高分句型1】I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up.（由so…that引导的结果状语从句） 【高分句型2】Two months later, there came the good news that Kate’s grandma had recovered.（由that引导的同位语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 华中师范大学陵水顺湖中学2025-2026学年上学期期中考试高二英语试卷 考试时间：120分钟 总分：150分 一、听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 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.

B A 16-year-old girl from Changsha, Hunan province, successfully reached the top of Qomolangma, known as Mount Everest in the West, on Monday morning, becoming the youngest Chinese female to conquer the world’s highest top from the southern slope (坡). Xu Zhuoyuan is a first year high school student from Hunan province. On April 15, she left Changsha for Nepal. On April 21, she began her long walk from Lukla. On April 28, she arrived at the base camp and started her altitude adaptation training at once. At 10 pm Beijing time on May 14, Xu Started walking from Camp 4 at an altitude of 7,950 meters on the southern slope of Qomolangma. After a punishing 10-hour climb, she successfully reached the summit. Xu Zhuoyuan’s father, Xu Jianglei, was the first person from Hunan province to reach the top of Qomolangma. Xu Zhuoyuan has been exploring remote areas with him since she was very young. Despite her young age, Xu Zhuoyuan has already climbed five mountains over 5,000 meters in China. When she was 12 years old, she made a statement on Hunan TV saying, “I will climb Qomolangma.” Four years later, she achieved her promise. Although Xu Zhuoyuan has rich climbing experience, she has been experiencing high-intensity professional training non-stop to conquer Qomolangma. Last year, she climbed Mount Muztagata, which stands 7,546 meters. “Human beings are small in the face of nature. We should respect nature and get closer to Qomolangma,” said Xu Zhuoyuan. She brought the gloves her father used when he reached the top with her as a form of inheritance and to bear witness to her own dream coming true. After finishing her university studies, she hopes to continue climbing and achieve the “7+ 2” (7 tops plus the North and South Poles). 4. When did Xu Zhuoyuan arrive at the base camp? A. On April 15. B. On April 21. C. On April 28. D. On May 14. 5 Which words can best describe Xu Zhuoyuan? A. Honest and sincere. B. Clever and smart C. Caring and devoted. D. Determined and brave. 6. Why was Xu Jianglei mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To describe his achievements. B. To show his impact on his daughter. C. To recognize his support for the girl. D. To stress girls should be taken good care of. 7. What’s the best title for the text? A. A Great Father Shocks the Whole World B. Qomolangma Draws More and More People C. 16-year old Girl Tops World’s Highest Mountain D. Father and Daughter Conquer the Highest Mountain C This year, new technologies will enable more drivers to take their hands off the steering wheel (方向盘) while on the road. But that doesn’t mean their cars will be fully self-driving — that day still remains far in the future. Automakers like General Motors (GM), Ford and Stellantis are introducing, or upgrading existing technologies. But in the words of Kay Stepper, an automated driving expert, these systems are “feet off” and “hands off”, but they will not be “eyes off” or “mind off”. For the time being, these systems will only be used on limited-access highways, where there are no pedestrians or bicyclists. Vehicles with this technology will be able to drive at relatively high speeds, but only in simple traffic situations. Bryan Reimer, a researcher with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Age Lab, said it will be decades before people can buy truly-self-driving cars in which humans ride as passengers, Still, the technology that will be rolled out by the major automakers this year will do more than most so-called Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, or ADAS, do now. GM’s Super Cruise system allows drivers to completely let go of the steering wheel while driving on selected highways. It was introduced in 2017 on the Cadillac CT6 sedan, which was discontinued last year. An improved version is coming this year on the Cadillac Escalade SUV and the Cadillac CT 4 and CT5 sedans. Super Cruise only works on highways that have been previously laser-mapped in three dimensions. GPS positioning and the vehicles, radar sensors and cameras are used to enable drivers to unhand — and unfoot — all the controls. Drivers still need to pay attention, however. A camera in the car makes sure the driver is looking at the road at all times. If the driver looks away from the road for more than a few seconds, the system will stop working. 8. At present, what can the self-driving cars do? A. They can drive freely on city streets. B. They can run without human drivers. C. They handle complex road conditions on their own. D. They allow drivers to take their hands off the steering wheel. 9. What can we infer from the words of Kay Stepper? A. People need to trust new technology. B. People still need to pay attention. C. People can look away from the road. D. People can’t unhand all the controls. 10. What does Paragraph 6 mainly talk about? A. GM’s Super Cruise system. B. GM’s latest car models. C. GM’s development plan. D. GM’s close competitors. D Born on July 1st, 1948, in the small Italian city of Palmi, Roberto Crea was a genius kid. He moved to the Netherlands and majored in Biological Chemistry. It was this university that directed his interest in the synthesis(合成) of nucleotides, the basic units that are required to build DNA. At that time, not many researchers studied the combination of genes, but Roberto’s strong chemistry background made a historical invention possible. In 1977, he joined the Genentech, Inc. and the gene synthesis team at City of Hope Medical School. The company funded Dr. Crea’s ongoing research on gene synthesis. After working day and night, the brilliant individual finally invented a new procedure that improved the chemical synthesis of genes. Thanks to his rich knowledge and the joint efforts of the excellent Genentech team, he made use of this discovery to produce the human insulin(胰岛素) genes, A and B. It was his invention that allowed Genentech to be labeled as the first producer of human protein. This benefited hundreds of millions of people suffering from diabetes(糖尿病) all over the world. Today Roberto is known as the father of synthetic insulin and almost won the Nobel Prize. His efforts did not stop after discovering the synthetic insulin; in fact, he was more than driven and tried to make more contributions to the field of biotechnology. His team of experts discovered Ziconotide under his teachings and guidance. According to leading scientists and researchers, this drug is more powerful and effective than morphine(吗啡), and the best part of this is that it has zero side-effects. Dr. Roberto Crea has a long list of creditable discoveries and researches that he has achieved in 65 years of his life. He is an inspiration for many individuals who aim to add value to humanity with the help of science. 11. What may contribute to Roberto’s invention of the human insulin genes? A. His good luck in his life. B. His curiosity about his study. C. His creative imagination. D. His knowledge of chemistry. 12. What do the underlined words “this discovery” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. A special way of producing human protein. B. A reliable method for curing people of diabetes. C. A new procedure for improving gene synthesis. D. A simple technique of separating human genes. 13. What do we know about Roberto in Paragraph 3? A. He won a Nobel Prize. B. He stuck to his scientific research. C. He discovered morphine with his team. D. He retired after making the great discovery. 14. Which of the following best describes Roberto? A. Enthusiastic and generous. B. Courageous and calm. C. Ambitious and patient. D. Committed and talented. 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最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Body Language: The Silent Communicator Have you ever noticed how a friend’s crossed arms make you feel they’re closed off, even if they say “I’m fine”? ____15____. This “silent language” often speaks louder than words, and understanding it can help you connect better with others. Body language includes facial expressions, gestures, posture, and eye contact. ____16____. For example, maintaining steady eye contact usually shows you’re listening, while looking away frequently might signal distraction. A smile can build trust, but a forced smile — one without crinkles around the eyes — may feel insincere. ____17____. Standing up straight with shoulders back can make you appear confident, even if you’re nervous. On the other hand, slouching (含胸) or hunching (弯腰) might make you seem uninterested or insecure. These postures don’t just affect how others see you; they can also change how you feel about yourself. Studies show that “power poses” (like hands on hips) can boost your own confidence levels.

Next time you talk to someone, pay attention to their gestures and your own. Notice how a small change — like uncrossing your arms or smiling — can make the conversation feel more open.

In the process of getting along, we found that we both enjoy reading and watching science fictions. With similar hobbies, our relationship immediately became closer. We went to class and canteen together every day in pairs. Although we considered each other as the best friend, there were frictions in our life style. I was never very neat, while Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other and never stopped trying to change the other person’s life style. Our friendship went ups and downs like a boat on the sea. Dissatisfaction with the other was accumulating. War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I was rather irritated (激怒). How could she act like that? I could not control my temper either. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder. Neither of us was willing to calm down to be a good listener. The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her dear grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled under her covers, burying her face. From where I stood, I saw her back slightly up and down. Obviously, she was sobbing. That was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart. Slowly I began to move. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ She was watching in disbelief, her tears dried. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
