B Katherine Johnson,a hero to American space travel and exploration,was born on Aug.26, 1918,in White Sulphur Springs,West Virginia.Her genius for math and science was evident early and her parents arranged for her and her siblings'education to be a priority. Katherine graduated from high school at only 14 and attended West Virginia State College, a historically Black college.When West Virginia decided to quietly integrate its graduate schools in 1939,West Virginia State's president,Dr.John W.Davis,selected her and two men to be the first Black students offered spots at the state's flagship school,West Virginia University. In 1953,in a time of racial separation,she started a job as a human "computer"with the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics(NACA),which later developed into NASA.She worked in the West Area Computing section at Langley Research Center on a team headed by fellow West Virginian Dorothy Vaughan.This turned into a permanent position and set the course for Katherine's role in space exploration. In 1960,she and engineer Ted Skopinski coauthored Determination of Azimuth Angle at Burnout for Placing a Satellite Over a Selected Earth Position,a report laying out the equations()describing an orbital spaceflight in which the landing position of the spacecraft is specified.It was the first time a woman in the Flight Research Division had received credit as an author of a research report. 【“皖八”高二期中·英语第3页（共8页）】 Her expertise was key to John Glenn's orbit around Earth in 1962,with Glenn putting much of his confidence in Katherine to make the mission a success.As a part of the preflight checklist,Glenn asked engineers to "get the girl"-Johnson-to run the same numbers through the same equations that had been programmed into the computer,but by hand,on her desktop mechanical calculating machine."If she says they're good,"Katherine Johnson remembered the astronaut saying,"then I'm ready to go. 24.What can we learn about Katherine Johnson's life experience? A.Her parents attached great importance to her education. B.She was the only Black student to enter West Virginia University in 1939. C.She took the lead of the West Area Computing section. D.She joined the NACA organization after NASA had been founded. 25.Why does the writer quote John Glenn's words in the last paragraph? A.To explain Johnson's hand calculation was tough. B.To highlight John Glenn was a strict mission leader. C.To prove Johnson's hand calculations were reliable. D.To illustrate the computer's data was not trustworthy. 26.Which of the following can best describe Katherine Johnson? A.Modest and sociable. B.Talented and diligent. C.Stubborn and hardworking. D.Considerate and cooperative. 27.What is the best title for the text? A.Katherine Johnson:A Lifetime of Educational Pursuits B.The Story of a "Computer":Katherine Johnson's Early Life at NASA C.Katherine Johnson:A Pioneering Force in Space Exploration D.Mathematics:The Key to John Glenn's Historic Space Flight C The ThinKing by Russian watchmaker Konstantin Chaykin is only 1.65 mm thick,making it the world's thinnest mechanical wristwatch(). The "arms race"for the world's thinnest wristwatch has been in full swing for a few years so far.Some of the most famous watch brands on Earth are still trying to one-up each other with smart designs.The latest to claim the desirable title is independent watchmaker Konstantin Chaykin with its ThinKing initial design,a 1.65-thick masterpiece that is so incredibly thin that it needs a special wristband.The ThinKing's case is so delicate that the simple pressure from being worn is enough to damage it,so the special strap made of leather has to absorb some of the shocks and bending. To break the world record,Konstantin Chaykin needed to incorporate some crazy ideas into his unique design,such as removing the classic crown,instead displaying the hours and minutes through two separate windows.Despite its fragility (compared to conventional wristwatches,the ThinKing is made out of a special type of stainless(steel designed to handle the stress of being worn on a daily basis. Interestingly,ultra-thin watches like the ThinKing are incredibly expensive and labor- intensive to design and produce.They require expensive materials,perfectly machined parts,and many hours of work.Wearing them is no simple business either,as their thinness puts them in danger of damage,so extreme care has to be taken when sporting one on your wrist. Compared to classic timepieces,thin wristwatches like the ThinKing aren't very popular with collectors either,so why do so many famous watchmakers continue to produce them?Well, they do it mainly in the spirit of competition,but also for the betterment of watchmaking in general.Some of the breakthrough designs used in pioneering watches like the ThinKing end up inspiring entire design philosophies for conventional timepieces. 【“皖八”高二期中·英语第4页（共8页）】 28.What's the function of the special strap? A.To make the watch more flexible. B.To make the watch more comfortable. C.To take in the pressure from outside D.To add up more value to the watch. 29.What does the underlined word "one-up"mean in paragraph 2? A.Win. B.Help. C.Praise. D.Show. 30.What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3? A.The reason why Chaykin made the ThinKing. B.The hardship Chaykin went through in his life. C.The fame the ThinKing brought to Chaykin. D.The special design which made the ThinKing stand out. 31.What's the author's attitude towards producing ultra-thin watches? A.Subjective. B.Indifferent. C.Objective. D.Critical.

Communicate and respect each other.Everyone has personal preferences when travelling- from getting the bed closest to the bathroom or sitting in the airplane's window seat.But sometimes things don't go as you like.In this case,share your requirements directly with your travel companions.38 At the same time,listen to their concerns and be respectful of them. Don't disappear.When travelling with a group-or even just one other person-you may want some alone time.39 It's especially true of travelling in foreign countries or unfamiliar places. Get off your phone.Of course,your friends will understand if you need to take a call from a family member,or in the event of a work emergency.40 Don't respond to less important work contact or send messages frequently.After all,the appeal of this type of trip is to spend time with friends.Just enjoy it! A.Give each other some space. B.Include at least one activity for everyone. C.But other than that,try to stay off your phone. D.And remember that consideration and respect go a long way. E.That's completely fine,but make sure your friends know where you are. F.Have a conversation when problems arise,for communication is the key. G.So it's important to make sure you and your friend(s)are on the same page. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30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。 I was around 14 and in a really bad spot in my life,when I was diagnosed (with depression and anxiety.I had no close friends,which 41 me quite lonely.

Theo's brain fast-forwarded to the spelling bees(拼写比赛)ahead:first the county championship,then the state championship,and finally the national spelling bee."Your answer, please,Theo?"He glanced back at Alexa,another fourth-grader,sitting on the edge of her chair.She wanted another chance of winning.If he missed his word,she'd be back in the game. But that wasn't going to happen.Theo got the right spelling. Theo's sister,Deandra,who had also competed but missed her word,applauded with the rest of the crowd.Mr.Ramirez presented the trophy()to Theo.He lifted both arms into the air.“I'm the alpha-best(词王).”Then he raced toward his sister..“HaI”Theo said,making the trophy dance in front of Deandra's nose. She rolled her eyes."You're a terrible winner. “What's wrong with celebrating my victory?” Deandra crossed her arms and made a sour face."You know,it wasn't cool the way you ignored Alexa onstage.She tried to shake your hand. Theo shrugged."I didn't notice.Anyway,county bee,here I come!" "You might want to crack open the dictionary before counties.In two weeks,you'll be facing the best of the best. “And they'll be up against me,the alpha--best.” Deandra shook her head."Well,good luck.I think you're going to need it." Two weeks passed in a blink().At the county bee,students from different schools gathered around onstage,some looking more worried than others.Finally,it was time for the contestants to take their seats. After six rounds,the group of more than 100 students decreased to just seven.This was no regular spelling bee.Theo had barely made it through the last round with a lucky guess on conscience.And if he'd had to spell aerospace or conical,he'd be out already.His sister's advice suddenly made sense. 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。 When it was his turn again,Theo stood frozen for the longest moment. The following Monday at school,Theo found Alexa in the lunchroom. 【“皖八”高二期中·英语第8页（共8页）】 “皖南八校”2025一2026学年高二第一学期期中考试·英语 参考答案、解析及评分细则 听力部分录音稿 Text 1 M:Oh,thanks!When do you want the book back?

You may wonder how that idea got started.Well,the actual idea is similar to some festivals in other countries but it's related to the beginnings of North America,when the first Englishmen successfully arrived in 1620 in what is now the State of Massachusetts.Their first winter was difficult and half of them died from disease and hunger.That doesn't sound like anything to celebrate,right?But in the following spring of their arrival,the Native Americans taught them how to grow corn and pumpkin,as well as how to hunt and fish.In the autumn of this year,after a successful food supply,the Englishmen planned a great dinner and invited the local chief and 90 natives,who brought popcorn with them,which of course was totally unknown in Europe.This is the first Thanksgiving in American history.And many ways of celebrating the first Thanksgiving have been handed down to future generations. 参考答案 1~5 CBACC 6~10 BABCA 11~15 BCAAC 16~20 BACBA 【文章大意】本文作者主要向我们介绍了纽约的四个露营基地。 2l.A细节理解题。根据Hither Hills State Park部分的“No pets in the camping area.”可知，宠物是不允许进 入Hither Hills State Park的。 22.A细节理解题。根据NYC Park部分的“Tents will be provided.”可知，NYC Parks给露营者提供帐篷。 23.D细节理解题。根据Beaver Pond Campgrounds,Harriman State Park部分的“The tent sites have platforms,and there are bathrooms with hot showers..”以及Floyd Bennett Field部分的“Restrooms and showers are nearby,much to parents'relief.”可知，这两个露营基地都提供淋浴的地方。 【文章大意】本文主要介绍了女性航空航天科学家凯瑟琳的职业生涯和相关事迹。 24.A细节理解题。根据第一段“Her genius for math and science was evident early and her parents arranged for her and her siblings'education to be a priority..”可知，凯瑟琳的父母高度重视她的教育。 25.C推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，在格伦太空飞行之前，他要求凯瑟琳手动复算电脑数据，其引言 “If she says they're good..then I'm ready to go..”证明凯瑟琳的手动计算是非常可靠的。 26.B推理判断题。根据第一段“her genius for math and science was evident early”以及第二、三段中所述凯 瑟琳l4岁高中毕业、成为NASA关键计算人才的内容可知，她是有才能的(talented),根据第四段以及第五 段内容可知，凯瑟琳精准完成复杂轨道计算、成为首位在飞行研究部门获报告署名的女性，由此也可推知， 她是勤奋的(diligent)?。 27.C标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了女性航空航天科学家凯瑟琳的职业生涯和相关事迹，C选 项《凯瑟琳·约翰逊：太空探索的先驱力量》既点明人物，又突出她的核心身份与历史意义，最适合作为本文 标题。 【文章大意】本文主要介绍了一款世界上最薄的机械腕表。 28.C细节理解题。根据第二段“so the special strap made of leather has to absorb some of the shocks and bending'”可知，特殊腕带的目的就是吸收外部的震动和弯曲，也就是吸收外部的压力。 【“皖八”高二期中·英语试卷参考答案第2页（共4页）】
