B When she was young, Sylvia Colt-Lacayo noticed she was particularly fascinated with on-screen stories. Media offered an escape when life was hard. Watching Glee, she was thrilled to see a character who used a wheelchair like her-until she learned the role was played by an actor who was not disabled. "I 高二英语试题 第3页（共10页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 remember feeling so heartbroken and betrayed （背叛）, for noreason other than the fact that I felt seen for once as a 10- year- old watching Glee, and the power of that," says Colt-Lacayo. Now, Colt-Lacayo is graduating from Stanford with a degree in film and media studies and is heading to Hollywood with a passion for increasing disability representation and diversity in general. “Representation matters, and I also think that diverse storytelling is what is most compelling（令人信服的），”she said. Representation shaped Colt-Lacayo's path to Stanford. As a disabled Latina girl,she struggled to imagine going to college, in part because she never saw adult wheelchair users in the media. In highschool, she met another Stanford student who was also a wheelchair user at a conference. Suddenly, a new story felt possible. When she arrived at Stanford, Colt-Lacayo knew she was often the first visibly disabled student her professors and peers had interacted with. Her parents had taught her to advocate for herself, and while she doesn't claim the label “activist”, she asks for what she needs. "Yes, there's something that is in my DNA that makes my body different from other people's. But really, what makes me disabled is that people treat me differently,and I do not have equal access to resources,"she said. She brought this perspective to her Stanford experience. For her senior thesis（论文）,she wnote a screenplay examining how growing up with a disability impacts one's relationship with oneself and one's understanding of the world. Colt-Lacayo aims to become an agent for screenwriters and film directors. She hopes that sharing her story gives others the example she wished for when she was young. 24. How did Colt-Lacayo initially feel while watching Glee? A. Overjoyed and inspired. B. Honored and confident. C. Heartbroken and betrayed. D. Sorrowful and sympathetic. 25.What helped Colt-Lacayo picture herself going to college? A. Her keen interest in films and media. B. Diverse stories she heard about disabiity. C. An example of a disabled Stanford student. D. A passion for increasing disability representation. 26. What insight did Colt-Lacayo gain about living with a disability? A. It naturally leads one to grow into a social activist. B. It mainly involves overcoming physical limitations. C. It offers special advantages for accessing resources. D. It influences one's outlook on the world and oneself. 27. What is the best title of the text? A. Telling Stories That Matter B. Speaking up for Equality C. Struggling to Enter Stanford D. Conquering Physical Challenges 高工英语试题 第4页（共10页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 C History is one of those subjects that could be endless if we had enough time.There has always been an understanding that we learn history to stop it from being repeated, in a sense learning from past mistakes. However,as we have discovered, this is not entirely true. With the invasive and violent events still in existence in many parts of the world, we can see that humanity has not learnt from its past. History shows itself to repeat and it is important to learn history to see these chaotic（混乱 的）repetitions. History is not just about strife-wars, revolutions, and struggles-but it is also a political and philosophical topic. A man named Peter Turchin has spent many years investigating how we can use history to our own benefit. In 2003 Turchin published his book "historical dynamics".The book demonstrates his workings in which he shows the secular（世俗的）state of France and Russia from their origins to the 18th century. Not long after his book was published Turchin founded cliodynamics. Cliodynamics works to show the underlying patterns we can observe in history and model them in a way to make scientific estimates of how the future may play out. His use of mathematics has allowed scientists to develop a greater understanding of how political settings may occur or how societies will grow. Of course, it is simply impossible for any historian to predict the future, but by using this “big data"approach, Turchin has allowed individuals to locate patterns and use critical thinking to help make judgments about what the future may hold.Turchin as well as many others have used history in an important way to help future generations. As time passes, the databases will improve, highlighting more patterns and similarities, unavoidably helping to make these predictions more reliable. Could this approach to using data be the future of history and would we as a society be able to show the repetitions in humanity? 28. What does the underlined word “strife" in paragraph 2 mean? A. reflection. B. Conclusion. C. Account. D. Conflict. 29. What can be inferred from Turchin's research? A. It intends to reveal state origins. B. It jumps out of historical cycles. C. It confirms history's mirror values. D. It shows similarities between maths and history. 30. How does Turhin's approach benefit historians? A. By providing first-hand data. B. By ensuring precise future predictions. C. By helping predict future trends. D. By fueling insights into certain events. 31. What is the author's attitude toward predicting the future? A. Favorable. B. Objective. C. Unconcerned. D. Opposed. 高二英语试题 第5页（共10页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 D Butterflies are sensitive to environmental changes, meaning they are important indicators of ecosystem health, but they are in decline. New research suggests butterfly numbers can be boosted by making small changes to road verges（边缘）. While most studies on road verges and butterflies have focused on temperate climates with natural plants in rural areas, new research from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) examined planted vegetation along major roads in big cities of Singapore. Researchers surveyed 101 road verges, each at least 30m long, located along major roads with speed limits between 50 km/h and 70 km/h, and planted with non-native bushes. They found verges with a mixture of different flowering plant species directly increased the total number ofbutterflies and butterfly species. "A greater diversity of flowering plants can offer a variety of nectar（花蜜）sources for butterflies.This can attract more species of butterflies, especially those that prefer a broad range of nectar from different flowers," explains Associate Professor Eleanor Slade from NTU's Asian School of the Environment. Selective thinning and less frequent cutting also benefited butterfly numbers and species diversity, with the verges seen as paths linking the insects to other green spaces.Slade says this could be because a greater variety of plant heights within road verges creates different micro-climatic conditions-variations in temperature,humidity（湿度）and light intensity - that appeal to different butterflies. More uniform plant heights created by frequently cutting verge plants can reduce the population of the butterflies and species richness and offer less protection. The study also showed busy roads negatively affect butterflies and butterfly species,particularly when traffic density（密度）is higher; this typically occurs when road speed limits are higher, and vehicles travel faster. Roads with more traffic also have greater vehicle pollution, which can affect both plants and butterflies. But the researchers say the benefits of road verges could cancel out these effects if traffic speeds are proper. They found that for roads with speed limits of up to 70km/h, the bad effects of traffic on butterflies could be reduced by increasing the variety of flowering plants on road verges and allowing them to grow to varying heights. 32. What makes the study of NTU different from previous ones? A. It takes climate change into account. B. It analyzes butterfly behavior in the forest. C. It focuses on ecosystems along rural roadsides. D. It investigates grown plants in the urban area. 33. Why is Eleanor Slade mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To explain research methods. B. To propose strategies for improvement. C. To back the findings ofthe new study. D. To prove the city is more suitable for research. 34. How can traffic's negative effects on butterflies be reduced? 高二英语试题 第6页（共10页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 A. By frequently cutting verge plants. B. By planting diverse flowering species. C. By building barriers between roads and plants. D. By permitting plants to grow to a specific height. 35. What can we conclude from the passage? A. Increasing plant height alone is sufficient to protect butterflies from the negative effects of traffic. B. Traffic pollution is the primary factor causing the decline of butterfly populations in cities. C. Butterfly species in rural areas are less affected by road verges than1. those in urban areas. D. Proper management of road verges can help improve butterfly diversity despite urban traffic. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Parenting is a constant balancing act. We want to teach our children important life lessons, wvhile also maintaining harmony at home and avoiding unnecessary conflicts. 36 Recently, my 13-year-old daughter asked me to buy her a $28 phone case. Her old one wasn't broken or worn out; she was just bored of it. 37 However,saying “no” in moments like this isn't easy. The request felt small, but I knew there was a bigger lesson to teach. It's about teaching our children to think critically about their spending. At the same time, we don't want to come across as overly strict or dismissive oftheir feelings. In this case, I realized my daughter's request wasn't just about the phone case; it was about her desire for something new, trendy, and exciting. 38 After all,to a 13-year-old, a new phone case might feel like a big deal, a way to express themselves or fit in with their friends. So how do we find the middle ground? Instead of shutting down the conversation, I used it as an opportunity to talk about wants and needs. I explained that we must prioritize what's essential over impulse（冲动）purchases. 39 I also acknowledged her feelings. "I get it," I told her.Sometimes we just want something new because it feels exciting. This softened the conversation and made her more willing to listen. Instead of a flat-out “no"; I suggested a compromise（妥协）. I offered her three options: earn it, wait it out or explore alternatives. 40 It was about guiding my daughter toward better decision-making without damaging our relationship. A. But I didn't stop there. B. For mne,it was a firm no. C. That conversation wasn't just about a phone case. D. I promoted the habit of saving for things she wanted. 高二英语试题 第7页（共10页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 E. It felt important to her, even if it seemed unnecessary to me. F. This balancing act can be tricky, especially when parenting teens. G. Sometimes, the most valuable lessons aren't about the money at all. 第三部分 英语知识运用 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最 佳选项。 Last summer, I joined a volunteer program in a rural African village.

My first week was filled with 42 -I taught children basic phrases, played games, and even learned a few words in their local language. 43,reality hit hard soon. One morning, a storm flooded the village's only classroom, 44 textbooks and chairs. The villagers, struggling with poverty, had no money to repair it. My heart 45 -how could I continue teaching without resources?That night, I lay awake,brainstorming 46 . Then I remembered my phone's flashlight app. "We can hold classes under the stars!"

The outdoor classes worked surprisingly 49 . Children laughed as they traced letters in the dirt, and parents joined, 50 about the "glowing lessons". But trouble struck again when my phone 51 mid-lesson. Silence fell. A boy named Kofi suddenly stood up, 52 a small solar lantern he'd made from scrap （碎片）metal. "Use this，”he said proudly. Over the next weeks, Kofi and other kids 53 more lanterns, and our "night school”thrived（蓬勃发展）. By the end of the program, the community had raised funds to rebuild the classroom. I left with tears in my eyes-not from sadness,but from 54 . This experience made me 55 that innovation and community spirit can overcome the toughest challenges. 41. A. hesitant B. Embarrassed C.

All the neighborhood children were afraid of him. We ran away when he came out of his house. He kept his car parked outside the fence that separated the road from his tiny yard. His car was nicer than most cars in the small town,and he kept it spotless. He even cleaned the door handle when he closed the door and locked it. When I played on the road with the other children,we tried to stay away from Joe's car. One day,I cheerfully rode my newly obtained used bicycle back from the local grocery store. The bicycle had no basket,so I had to ride with one hand carrying the groceries. While I was approaching Joe's yard,I hit a mud puddle（泥坑）near his car.I was so concerned about splashing（溅）mud on his clean car that Ilost control. I panicked as my handlebars slid down the side of Joe's car. Then I fell hard onto the ground with my bicycle. Joe walked out of his house,where he had been sitting at the window and watching.He was looking at the big scratch（刮痕）on his perfectly kept car while I was lying on the ground with my knee bleeding. Then I could feel his eyes examining me and my bicycle,but I was too scared to look up. My fear grew when Joe asked me to go with him. He led me into his house while holding to the back of my T-shirt. He ordered me to sit down before he went into another room. The only thing in the room was a small table with one chair near the window, where he had seated me. The floor seemed very old,but it was spotless. The ceiling was so low that I could have reached it with a short jump. "Is he going to trap me here?"I thought to myself,my heart raced so fast that I paid no attention to my pain. 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。 I was thinking about what to do when Joe came back to me carryingOfirst aid kit. him.
