B When I first moved into a traditional hutong in Beijing, the narrow alleyways felt like a maze (迷宫). My tiny room was part of a siheyuan shared with three Chinese families. Back home in London, I lived in a quiet suburban house with a private garden. Here, I could hear neighbors chatting through paper-thin walls, and the smell of stir-fried vegetables often drifted into my room. It was overwhelming yet strangely alive. The biggest shock came the next morning. I stepped outside to find a communal tap (公共水龙头) where residents brushed teeth and washed vegetables side by side. An elderly man in pajamas nodded at me while spitting into the drain — a common practice here but shocking to Western eyes. Later, when I tried to throw trash into a bin, Mrs. Li from next door rushed over, sorting my waste into four colorful categories with a patient smile. “Recycling matters,” she said, though I understood little Chinese. Gradually, the hutong revealed its magic. Children played hopscotch (跳房子游戏) on stone paths, and shopkeepers knew everyone’s name. One rainy day, my roof leaked. Before I could call for help, one of my neighbors climbed up with a ladder and fixed it himself. That evening, he invited me for jiaozi. As we dipped them in vinegar, I realized privacy in the West meant disconnection; here, “noisy closeness” meant belonging. Now, when I bike past the morning crowds buying baozi or see neighbors playing chess under tree shades, I feel at home. The hutong taught me that culture shock is just the first step to discovering a new way of living - one where community wraps around you like a warm quilt. 4. Why did the author mention his life in London in Paragraph 1? A. To suggest his family’s wealth. B. To explain why he moved to Beijing. C. To show his attachment to his country. D. To contrast his previous and present life. 5. What surprised the author most on the first morning? A. The shared use of a water tap. B. The smell of cooking in the air. C. The complex layout of the hutong. D. The queuing up habit of neighbors. 6. What does “noisy closeness” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Terrible living conditions. B. Active community interactions. C. The value of personal privacy. D. Loud arguments between neighbors. 7. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Guide to Exploring Hutongs B. Chinese Insights into Social Life C. The Maze That Became My Home D. Trash Sorting That Changed China C Do you know the Paradox (悖论) of Choice? Let me explain it to you with a fruity example. If I was to generously offer you an apple from my glorious basket of fruit, and present you with two different choices, chances are that you’d quickly make a choice. You’d then likely walk away, feeling happy and content with your choice. So far so good. However, what might happen if I was to do the same, but get you to choose from a bigger basket of different varieties? Chances are that you might take longer to make a choice — struggling to weigh up the benefits of each. After thinking for a while, you might experience brain fog and frustration and decide you don’t want an apple after all. Or, you might choose one and walk off with it, only to wonder if you made the correct choice. And, if by chance you actually chose the very same apple as you did in our first example, the chances are that it wouldn’t taste quite as good. You can understand the reason for this when you read about the theory of loss aversion. Put simply, studies have found that a loss has more than twice the psychological impact of an equivalent (同等的) gain. It’s more preferable to avoid losing £5 than to gain £5. Such is the pain of regret in losing out through making a “poor choice”. The Paradox of Choice is common in modern society. We live in a world of endless choices. Never have human beings been surrounded by such plentiful supply and convenience. Thus, we’ve been suffering a great deal. However, one idea that I’ve found helpful is to get into a habit of setting a time limit on making choices and feeling happy with that. To adopt this idea requires us to become happy with finding something that’s good enough, without necessarily being the best. We could recognise that our time is more important than the need to get an extra 10% on top of what is already good enough. 8. What is a likely outcome of choosing an apple from a larger variety according to paragraph 2? A. You had no regrets. B. You felt dissatisfied. C. You made a quick decision. D. You found the perfect apple. 9. What does the underlined word “aversion” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Dislike B. Control. C. Recovery. D. Adjustment. 10. Which of the following best describes the Paradox of Choice? A. More is less. B. The more, the merrier. C. Better safe than sorry. D. Don’t cry over spilt milk. 11. What does the author suggest readers do? A. Stay positive and happy. B. Weigh the pros and cons. C. Make informed decisions. D. Settle for good enough choices. Through evolution, animals have developed numerous ways to protect themselves from predators (捕食者). Turtles hide in their shells, and skunks (臭鼬) use smelly liquid. But these defenses don’t work against cars. Environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb explains, “When facing a car, these defenses are useless — or even harmful. Staying still is the worst choice. Roadkill is a serious threat to wildlife.” Roads also act as barriers, preventing animals from moving freely. The constant traffic on highways creates what scientists call a “moving fence”— a wall of vehicles that animals avoid crossing. While we often see dead animals like deer or squirrels on roads, we don’t see the ones that never try to cross. This isolation can harm animal populations more than roadkill itself. Chemicals from roads also damage the environment. Every year, the U. S. uses 20 million tons of road salt to melt ice, which pollutes nearby soil and plants. Cars release metals like zinc and copper, and tires leave behind microplastics. These pollutants make roadsides dangerous for creatures like monarch butterflies, even though these areas could otherwise be good habitats. Roadsides sometimes attract animals with food like flowers or berries, but this becomes an “ecological trap”. Animals are drawn to these resources, only to face the danger of traffic. Interestingly, when traffic decreases, animals quickly adapt. Researchers in the Bay Area found that when cars disappeared for months, white-crowned sparrows — small songbirds — started singing more complex and varied songs. Without traffic noise, they no longer needed to “shout” and could return to their natural behaviors. This shows how much roads affect wildlife — but also how adaptable animals can be. Despite these challenges, Goldfarb says, certain species have made remarkable adaptations. He notes that Chicago’s urban foxes are said to look both ways before crossing the street. “We think about roads as these forces that are universally or exclusively harmful to animals, and certainly they’re incredibly destructive,” he says. “But wildlife is also impressively adaptive and clever and animals are finding ways to make a living in our midst.” 12. How does the author start the text in the first paragraph? A. By stating a reason. B. By providing statistics. C. By defining a concept. D. By giving examples. 13. What harmful impact do roads have on wildlife? A. Less food supply. B. Restricted movement. C. Increased predators. D. Species extinction. 14. What can we infer from Goldfarb’s words in the last paragraph? A. Roads are not truly harmful to wildlife. B. Urban foxes seldom get hit by vehicles. C. Animals adapt cleverly to dangerous roads. D. Wildlife protection deserves highest attention. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To advocate reducing traffic. B. To preserve wildlife diversity. C. To analyze roads’ effects on wildlife. D. To highlight roadkill danger to animals. 第二节(共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，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。 Quite a few people turn to comfort foods when they’re feeling down or just need a little pick-me-up. ____16____ They to some extent, provide eaters a sense of warmth and pleasure. But despite the name, do they actually comfort us? ____17____ As studies have found, the brain has “hedonic hotspots” — specialized regions that increase the rewarding feeling or “liking” of palatable (可口) tastes. This can result in a dopamine (多巴胺) hit that strengthens a person’s motivation to seek palatable food rewards. Therefore, people might be encouraged by their brains to consume particular foods. But why are comfort foods generally somewhat unhealthy? They are often referred to as “hyper-palatable” foods, easy to digest, sweet, salty, or rich. These very ingredients that make the food taste so good are bad for our health when consumed too much. ____18____ So, a person’s brain tends not to want them in the same way it does a donut or a slice of pizza. Comfort foods are an attempt to feel content or a means of reducing stress, but it seems they are not always effective. In a survey of 2,000 adults, one in four people admitted eating comfort foods at least five times a week, even though over half said those meals made them feel worse. So, why? People are aware that these foods are not nutritionally beneficial. ____19____ Some researches, however, have also found that comfort foods do have the ability to comfort us but just no more than any other food. Comfort foods can result in an immediate mood lift. ____20____ Individuals may just be giving comfort food credit for mood effects that would have occurred even in the absence of that particular food. A. Healthy foods tend not to contain these elements. B. Over time, this causes them to feel regret and shame. C. But making comfort foods itself can be more helpful. D. Any other food is also able to achieve the same outcome. E. Comfort foods are often associated with carefree memories. F. The brain rewards people when they consume certain foods. G. The key is the emotional connection and the sense of well-being. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分60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。 If it takes a village to raise a child, then January 17, 2014, was the day it took a village to save a child.

Her elder sister Serena was now dancing at a college. Though Kelly’s mom always wanted her to follow in her sister’s footsteps and Kelly herself was good at ballet, her love for ballet had faded years before, and she was eager for a new challenge. One day at school, as Kelly left the dance studio, she walked past the gym, fascinated by boxers training inside the boxing ring (拳击赛场). She was deeply impressed by how hard they hit and how fast they moved. In fact, she’d long been attracted to boxing. She pulled a piece of paper from her backpack. On the familiar Oakwood High School Club Sign-up Sheet was the phrase: BOXING CLUB TRYOUT (选拔). That was what Kelly really wanted to do. She knew her mom had high expectations for her when it came to ballet. Tired of trying to keep with her sister, Kelly was ready to carve (开辟) her own path. The next day, she gathered her courage and told Serena about her new passion. At first, Serena didn’t understand and thought she was just joking. But when she saw Kelly was serious, she replied, “You know Mom wants you to be a ballet dancer, right? Besides, boxing is only for boys, and you’re so good at ballet. Lean into your strength, Kelly.” “But this is where I want to put my strength,” Kelly insisted, “and what exactly does ‘only for boys’ mean, anyway? Boxing is a sport for everyone!” Gradually, touched by her determination and passion, Serena began to understand and support her. Kelly could feel it. Her sister was going to respect her decision, no matter what. But that was nothing compared to the preparations for the tryout, where she was required to show her footwork (步法) and punching (击打) abilities with other candidates (候选人). Boxing didn’t come natural to Kelly, but she had made úp her mind to stick with her choice. 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。 Para l: Then Kelly began her training for the tryout, keeping it a secret from her mom. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: The following Monday, results of the boxing tryout were posted. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 新安中学(集团)高中部2025-2026学年第一学期阶段考试题 高二年级英语 2025年10月 试卷共8页，卷面满分150分。考试用时135分钟。 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A 【1~3题答案】 【答案】1.

I’m writing to apply for a booth at the upcoming International Cultural Festival, aiming to share the beauty of Chinese culture with fellow students. My booth will feature traditional crafts and snacks. I’ll display exquisite paper-cutting works and guide visitors to try simple folding techniques. I’ll also prepare fragrant jasmine tea and vivid sugar paintings—both are iconic Chinese treats. Additionally, I’ll bring a small screen to play short videos about cultural stories behind these items, making the experience more engaging. I sincerely hope I can get the opportunity. It will be a wonderful platform for cultural exchange and mutual understanding. Looking forward to your positive reply!

Even when she was made fun of by boys in the gym, she bit her lip tightly and continued her training. Finally, the tryout came. Extremely nervous though, she stepped into the boxing ring, moved fast and punched hard to the surprise of other candidates. After the tryout, Kelly left the gym confidently, knowing she did her best. Para 2: The following Monday, results of the boxing tryout were posted. To her delight, Kelly found her name on the list. At dinner that day, Kelly gathered her courage and said to her mom, “I'm sorry, Mom. I've made the boxing team and I'm ready to carve my own path.” At first, a flicker of disbelief and shock crossed her mom's face, but after a long, heart-to-heart talk, she gave Kelly a bear hug and whispered softly, “I'm so proud of you for being yourself. ” 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
