B Jill Wheatley was a PE teacher in Germany. On the weekends she competed in marathons around Europe.But life threw her a near deadly blow. While teaching a PE class, she was hit in the head with a baseball. The impact was so great it left her with a brain injury and 70 percent vision loss, permanently blinding her in one eye. She spent 26 months in seven different hospitals, at times wishing it would just all end. Desperately, Wheatley set out to find comfort and healing in nature. She travelled to Nepal where a friend convinced her to run in the Annapurna 100 with him. The power from that race changed her life and eventually had her looking up at the tops of the mountains. Project Vision 8000 was born. And she began her mission to stand on top of the world’s 14 highest mountains, towering 8, 000 metres above sea level, to show herself and others the power in choice and possibility. Colours, and touch help guide her on the mountain and she has never once felt too tired to carry on.“The only thing constant is change, so when the weather gets really bad or a storm is coming in,I know it is going to pass.”So far, she’s had few problems standing among giants, but she admits she continues to struggle with overcoming: the “mountains of her mind”. Having already stared death in the face, Wheatley has great respect for the mountains and the mission she is on. But she’s not seared. The experience almost claimed her life, but it is now the driving force and fuel behind her success.At every icy peak, she smiles and takes a quick video with a breathless “so very thankful” whispered into the thin air. 4. What happened to Wheatley according to paragraph 1? A. She came last in a race. B. She suffered head injury. C. She lost her sight completely. D. She was attacked in a class. 5. What drove Wheatley to launch Project Vision 8000? A. Her exploration of nature. B. Her friend’s timely suggestions. C. Her strong love for sports. D. Her participation in the Annapurna 100. 6. What can we learn about Wheatley from the last paragraph? A. Her attitude toward adversity was reshaped. B. She was used to poor weather conditions. C. She ignored the mountains of her mind. D. Her nature helped her overcome fear. 7. What could be the best title for the text? A. Every peak is within reach. B. Lose sight to gain vision. C. Action speaks louder than words. D. Nature will work its course. C Imagine you’ re out for an evening walk in a foreign city, looking to find a restaurant for dinner. If you’ re like most people, you will look for the busiest restaurant with the most diners because its popularity is bound to reflect on the quality of food and service. But is this true? In tourist areas, early diners have no meaningful clues as to which restaurant to choose, so they may have picked their evening eatery on a whim (一时兴起). Following passers-by may have misinterpreted their restaurant choice as a well-informed decision and blindly followed their example. This could have resulted in a snow-balling effect, whereby ever-increasing numbers of customers were attracted to the restaurant in question, creating a false impression of approval. Therefore, following the example of others could have led to a suboptimal(次优的) dinner choice in an overcrowded restaurant. Blindly copying other people’s thoughts or choices or simply going with the crowd is often referred to as “herd behavior(从众行为).” It is a frequent occurrence among humans as well as many other animals. Herding can appear to make a lot of sense. Average judgments of large groups of people often outperform individual choices. Furthermore, following the crowd appears to offer protection and comfort—— after all, there’s “ safety in numbers”--while helping to maintain a favorable fame. Finally, following the herd reduces the effort needed to make a personal or unique decision; it is therefore an easy option. Herd behaviors, while common and easy to explain, hold significant dangers. Contrary to the so-called “wisdom of crowds”, which emerges when the judgments of individual group members are independently collected to produce an average opinion, herd behaviors typically rely on so-called “information cascades”, where people take on others’ beliefs or copy their choices without critically evaluating the underlying reasons. As a result, herding can have many undesirable outcomes, including negative influences on consumer choices, like in the restaurant example above. 8. What likely causes a restaurant’s popularity in tourist areas according to Para.2? A. Early diners choose it based on its high quality and reputation. B. Passers-by may assume that the early diners made an informed choice. C. The restaurant is recommended by locals familiar with the area. D. The restaurant is advertised as having high-quality food and service. 9. What is one reason why people tend to follow the crowd? A. It leads to average judgments. B. It brings a sense of security. C. It challenges a favorable reputation. D. It allows for better decision-making. 10. What does the underlined “ information cascades” mean in Para.5? A. Adopting others’ beliefs or choices without evaluation. B. Critical evaluation of underlying reasons for choices. C. Average judgments formed by large groups of people. D. Independent collection of individual opinions and judgments. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards “herd behavior”? A. Neutral B. Favorable C. Critical D. Indifferent D A new study from Nottingham Trent University (NTU) indicates that people who are more facially expressive are generally more likable and socially successful. The research, which analyzed over 1,500 natural conversations, suggests that complex facial muscle movements can strengthen social bonds and improve social interactions. In the initial phase, researchers engaged with 52 participants in video calls designed to get a range of everyday situations, such as humor, embarrassment and conflict. The participants were further challenged to maintain a still face while their partners attempted to stimulate movement, testing their ability to control facial expressions. Following these interactions, the participants recorded short videos, where they aimed to achieve specific social goals, like disagreeing with someone but without being disliked. These clips of videos were then rated by over 170 independent observers, assessing the readability of the emotions and expressions displayed. The researchers applied the Facial Action Coding System (FACS), a method for measuring facial muscle activity, to evaluate each participant’s expressivity (表现能力). Afterwards, the study extended to analyze an existing database of natural video conversations between 1,456 strangers, where the participants rated their conversational partners’ likability. The study revealed that individuals who were more expressive were more likable by both independent observers and their conversation partners. Additionally, these expressive individuals were easier to read and more skillful at using facial behaviors to achieve their social goals. “This is a study to examine facial expression in real-world interactions,” said the study’s lead author, Eithne Kavanagh. “Our evidence shows that facial expressivity is related to positive social outcomes. It suggests that more expressive people are more successful at attracting social partners and building relationships. It also could be important in conflict resolution.” The research highlights the significant role which facial expressions play in successful social interactions. 12. How did the researchers examine the participants’ ability to control facial expressions? A. By asking them to make complex facial muscle movements. B. By asking them to watch humorous videos and keep a still face. C. By having them use facial behaviors to achieve their social goals. D. By having their partners try to make them produce facial movements. 13. What were the participants asked to do after the first stage? A. Rate the videos of other participants. B. Engage in further social interactions. C. Assess the readability of their own emotions. D. Record short videos under specific conditions. 14. What can we learn about the FACS? A. It is a tool to assess facial muscle activity. B. It decides the social success of individuals. C. It improves the likability of facial expressions. D. It is a method for promoting participants’ likability. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. FACS: A New Method for Social Science B. Facial Expressions: Important for Social Success C. The Development of Facial Muscle Movements D. The Way to Be Likable and Socially Successful 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。 People have always wanted to know what the future will look like.

One day, after a fight, I was suspended (使暂时停学) from school. My father, a man of few words but with a strong sense of discipline, decided that it was time for me to learn a hard lesson. The very next day, he took me to a construction site where he worked, and told me to start working. It was a tough job. I had to carry heavy bricks and mix cement in the hot sun. My hands were hurt, and my back ached from the hard work. I had never worked so hard in my life, and the reality of manual labor hit me like a ton of bricks. I was used to the comfort of my school desk and the freedom after class. That was a sharp contrast, and it was a wake-up call. As the days went by, I began to feel a deep sense of guilt. I knew I had let my parents down, and I had wasted the opportunities given to me. I was confused, unsure of what my future held. I started to think about the meaning and value of life. I realized that I had been taking my education for granted. One evening, after a particularly tough day, I sat down with my father. I asked him why he had brought me to that place of sweat and toil. He looked at me with his weathered eyes and said, “My son, I want you to understand that life is not always easy. You have to work hard for what you want. Education is your ticket to a better life, and I don’t want you to waste it.” His words resonated (产生共鸣) with me. I realized that I had been living in a bubble, blind to the struggles of the real world. I decided to go back to school, to make my parents proud and make something of myself. 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。 The next morning, I told my father that I wanted to return to school. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Back at school, I was a changed person. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 勤建学校高二年级上学期第二次调研考试 英语试卷 2025.11 考试时间 120分钟 卷面分 120分 第I卷(选择题) 第一部分 阅读理解（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，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。 A Events at the Aquarium of the Pacific Big Fish Little Fish includes theme-related activities, a guided gallery tour, and interaction with our animal care staff.

This could have resulted in a snow - balling effect, whereby ever - increasing numbers of customers were attracted to the restaurant in question, creating a false impression of approval.(路过的人可能会把他们对餐厅的选择误解为明智的决定，然后盲目地效仿。这可能会产生滚雪球效应，从而吸引越来越多的顾客到这家餐厅，造成一种被认可的假象)”可知，在旅游区一家餐厅受欢迎可能是因为路人认为早期食客做了一个明智的选择。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Furthermore, following the crowd appears to offer protection and comfort—— after all, there’s “safety in numbers”--while helping to maintain a favorable fame.(此外，随大流似乎能提供保护和舒适——毕竟，“人多势众”——同时有助于保持良好的声誉)”可知，人们倾向于从众的一个原因是它能带来安全感。故选B项。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第五段“where people take on others’ beliefs or copy their choices without critically evaluating the underlying reasons(人们接受他人的信念或复制他们的选择，而不批判性地评估根本原因)”可知人们接受他人的信念或复制他们的选择，而不批判性地评估根本原因，可推理出“information cascades”的意思是不加评估地接受他人的信念或选择。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Herd behaviors, while common and easy to explain, hold significant dangers.(从众行为虽然常见且容易解释，但存在重大危险)”可知作者认为从众行为虽然常见，但存在重大危险，可推理出作者对“从众行为”的态度是批判的。故选C项。 D A new study from Nottingham Trent University (NTU) indicates that people who are more facially expressive are generally more likable and socially successful. The research, which analyzed over 1,500 natural conversations, suggests that complex facial muscle movements can strengthen social bonds and improve social interactions. In the initial phase, researchers engaged with 52 participants in video calls designed to get a range of everyday situations, such as humor, embarrassment and conflict. The participants were further challenged to maintain a still face while their partners attempted to stimulate movement, testing their ability to control facial expressions. Following these interactions, the participants recorded short videos, where they aimed to achieve specific social goals, like disagreeing with someone but without being disliked. These clips of videos were then rated by over 170 independent observers, assessing the readability of the emotions and expressions displayed. The researchers applied the Facial Action Coding System (FACS), a method for measuring facial muscle activity, to evaluate each participant’s expressivity (表现能力). Afterwards, the study extended to analyze an existing database of natural video conversations between 1,456 strangers, where the participants rated their conversational partners’ likability. The study revealed that individuals who were more expressive were more likable by both independent observers and their conversation partners. Additionally, these expressive individuals were easier to read and more skillful at using facial behaviors to achieve their social goals. “This is a study to examine facial expression in real-world interactions,” said the study’s lead author, Eithne Kavanagh. “Our evidence shows that facial expressivity is related to positive social outcomes. It suggests that more expressive people are more successful at attracting social partners and building relationships. It also could be important in conflict resolution.” The research highlights the significant role which facial expressions play in successful social interactions. 12. How did the researchers examine the participants’ ability to control facial expressions? A. By asking them to make complex facial muscle movements. B. By asking them to watch humorous videos and keep a still face. C. By having them use facial behaviors to achieve their social goals. D. By having their partners try to make them produce facial movements. 13. What were the participants asked to do after the first stage? A. Rate the videos of other participants. B. Engage in further social interactions. C. Assess the readability of their own emotions. D. Record short videos under specific conditions. 14. What can we learn about the FACS? A. It is a tool to assess facial muscle activity. B. It decides the social success of individuals. C. It improves the likability of facial expressions. D. It is a method for promoting participants’ likability. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. FACS: A New Method for Social Science B. Facial Expressions: Important for Social Success C. The Development of Facial Muscle Movements D. The Way to Be Likable and Socially Successful 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现复杂的面部肌肉运动可以加强社会联系，改善社会互动。解释了研究开展的经过以及研究的意义。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The participants were further challenged to maintain a still face while their partners attempted to stimulate movement, testing their ability to control facial expressions.(参与者还被要求在他们的伴侣试图刺激运动时保持面部静止，以测试他们控制面部表情的能力)”可知，研究人员让他们的伴侣试着让他们做出面部动作检测参与者控制面部表情的能力。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Following these interactions, the participants recorded short videos, where they aimed to achieve specific social goals, like disagreeing with someone but without being disliked.(在这些互动之后，参与者录制了短视频，他们的目的是实现特定的社交目标，比如不同意某人的观点，但不被讨厌)”可知，在第一阶段之后，参与者被要求在特定条件下录制短视频。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The researchers applied the Facial Action Coding System (FACS), a method for measuring facial muscle activity, to evaluate each participant’s expressivity (表现能力).(研究人员使用面部动作编码系统（FACS），一种测量面部肌肉活动的方法，来评估每个参与者的表达能力)”可知，FACS是一种评估面部肌肉活动的工具。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new study from Nottingham Trent University (NTU) indicates that people who are more facially expressive are generally more likable and socially successful. The research, which analyzed over 1,500 natural conversations, suggests that complex facial muscle movements can strengthen social bonds and improve social interactions.(诺丁汉特伦特大学的一项新研究表明，面部表情更丰富的人通常更讨人喜欢，在社交上也更成功。这项研究分析了1500多段自然对话，表明复杂的面部肌肉运动可以加强社会联系，改善社会互动)”结合文章主要说明了研究发现复杂的面部肌肉运动可以加强社会联系，改善社会互动。解释了研究开展的经过以及研究的意义。可知，B选项“面部表情：对社交成功很重要”最符合文章标题。故选B。 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。 People have always wanted to know what the future will look like.

One day, after a fight, I was suspended (使暂时停学) from school. My father, a man of few words but with a strong sense of discipline, decided that it was time for me to learn a hard lesson. The very next day, he took me to a construction site where he worked, and told me to start working. It was a tough job. I had to carry heavy bricks and mix cement in the hot sun. My hands were hurt, and my back ached from the hard work. I had never worked so hard in my life, and the reality of manual labor hit me like a ton of bricks. I was used to the comfort of my school desk and the freedom after class. That was a sharp contrast, and it was a wake-up call. As the days went by, I began to feel a deep sense of guilt. I knew I had let my parents down, and I had wasted the opportunities given to me. I was confused, unsure of what my future held. I started to think about the meaning and value of life. I realized that I had been taking my education for granted. One evening, after a particularly tough day, I sat down with my father. I asked him why he had brought me to that place of sweat and toil. He looked at me with his weathered eyes and said, “My son, I want you to understand that life is not always easy. You have to work hard for what you want. Education is your ticket to a better life, and I don’t want you to waste it.” His words resonated (产生共鸣) with me. I realized that I had been living in a bubble, blind to the struggles of the real world. I decided to go back to school, to make my parents proud and make something of myself. 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。 The next morning, I told my father that I wanted to return to school. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Back at school, I was a changed person. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 The next morning, I told my father that I wanted to return to school. His face lit up with a smile, a rare sight that warmed my heart. He patted me on the back and said, “I knew you had it in you. Your education is the key to unlocking your potential.” With his encouragement, I felt a renewed sense of determination. I packed my bags and set off for school, ready to face the challenges ahead with a fresh perspective. Back at school, I was a changed person. I no longer sought thrills or got into trouble. Instead, I focused on my studies, participating actively in class and seeking help when needed. My grades improved dramatically, and I even joined the debate team, honing my critical thinking and communication skills. I became a role model for my peers, proving that it’s never too late to change for the better. My father’s words had guided me back on the right path, and I was grateful for the opportunity to turn my life around. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者16岁十分叛逆，总是寻求刺激，经常陷入麻烦，被学校停学了。于是作者的父亲让作者去工地工作，作者体会到了劳动的辛苦，开始回到学校认真学习。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上，我告诉父亲我想回学校”可知，第一段可描写父亲很高兴作者想要回去学校的决定，作者也准备以全新的视角面对未来的挑战。 ②由第二段首句内容“在学校的时候，我完全变了一个人”可知，第二段可描写作者开始认真学习，成为了同龄人的榜样。 2.续写线索：想回学校——父亲高兴——准备迎接挑战——专注学习——成绩提高——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①寻找：seek/look for ②释放：unlock/release ③集中：focus on/concentrate on ④指导：guide/direct 情绪类 ①刺激：thrill/excitement ②感激：grateful/thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1] I became a role model for my peers, proving that it’s never too late to change for the better.
