Mum always placed a lot of emphasis on higher education and I was educated from a young age to enter university. Unfortunately for Mum, the thing that I had a special love for was cooking — not what she would have chosen for me. Knowing how hard restaurant work is, she wasn’t pleased with my idea. To keep my options open, I decided to apply for university but also cook throughout my studies with a part-time job. However, it wasn’t long before I found I was stuck in studying something not appealing to me, and this part-time work became my thing. I made the tough decision to quit my university major after graduation, switching to pursue a career in the kitchen. Although she wasn’t favorable with my choice, Mum has since been an incredible supporter. Soon, I fell back into old patterns working in kitchens but feeling unfulfilled. Then, social media changed everything. As an early user, I poured my creativity into the platform, discovering a talent for photography and storytelling. Soon, my audience grew to 200,000 followers. Recognizing the opportunity, I quit my job to pursue travel photography and social media full-time. I traveled 50 trips a year at my peak while expanding into consulting, public speaking, and project management. I created social media content, photography and campaign reports. As a pioneer in Australia’s influencer market, my services became highly sought-after. I established a travel account, teaching others to build careers in the industry, and launched an online photography course for beginners. Next year, I’ll lead my first photography tour in Zimbabwe, my partner’s homeland, combining my passions with conservation and community support. My journey has been challenging yet deeply fulfilling. Making money is no longer the main driver — instead, I seek meaningful experiences and opportunities to inspire others. What began as a small idea has grown into a life of adventure, creativity and purpose. 4. Why did the author quit his university major after graduation? A. He was often discouraged by his mother. B. He wanted to follow his dream as a cook. C. He was financially struggling with his life. D. He realized it was hard for him to be hired. 5. What does paragraph 3 focus on? A. The great hardship facing social media. B. The rapid development of social media. C. Why the author became influential on social media. D. How social media affected the author’s career path. 6. What does the author value most in his current career? A. Sharing his adventures online. B. Traveling around the world. C. Making a difference to others. D. Gaining community support. 7. Which words can best describe the author? A. Adventurous and helpful. B. Easy-going and responsible. C. Straightforward and honest. D. Strong-willed and humorous. C Every 40 days a language dies. This “catastrophic” loss is being intensified by the climate crisis; according to linguists. If nothing is done, conservative estimates suggest that half of all the 7000 languages currently spoken will be extinct by the end of the century. Speakers of minority languages have experienced a long history of persecution (迫害) , with the result that by the 1920s half of all indigenous (土著的) languages in Australia, the US, South Africa and Argentina were extinct. The climate crisis is now considered the “final nail in the coffin” for many indigenous languages and the knowledge they represent. “Languages are already endangered,” says Anastasia Richl, director of the Strathy language unit at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. Huge factors are globalization and migration, as communities move to regions where their language is not spoken or valued, according to Richl. “It seems particularly cruel,” she says, “that most of the world’s languages are in parts of the world that are growing unpleasant to people.” Vanuatu, a South Pacific island nation measuring 12,189km2, has 110 languages, the highest density (密度) of languages on the planet. It is also one of the countries most at risk of sea level rise, she says. “Many small language communities are on islands and coastlines easily subject to hurricanes and sea level rise.” Others live on lands where rising temperature threatens traditional farming and fishing practices, leading to migration. In response to the crisis, the UN launched the International Decade of Indigenous Languages in 2022. Promoting and conserving languages of indigenous communities is “not only important for them, but for all humanity”, said Csaba Korosi, the UN general assembly president, urging countries to allow access to education in indigenous languages. 8 What is the writer mainly concerned about? A. The disappearance of languages. B. The challenge of climate change. C. The reaction to the language crisis. D. The trend of the speedy globalization. 9. Why is Vanuatu mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To explain the main reason for language density. B. To show the common features of endangered languages. C. To stress the impact of geographical position on migration. D. To illustrate the situation of minority language communities. 10. What does the International Decade of Indigenous Languages aim to do? A. Support migrants to access local education. B. Discourage people from massive migration. C. Improve the living conditions of minority groups. D. Preserve the languages of indigenous communities. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Faced with Disasters: Communities Have to Leave B Lost for Words: Rising Seas Bring Threat of Catastrophe C. Upset at Extinction: UN Urges International Cooperation D. Involved in Action: Experts Seek Solutions to Climate Crisis D Scientists have invented a new way to make electricity. Their method uses supertiny holes to make electricity from moisture (水分) in the air. Water droplets in the air carry an electric charge. In clouds, these water droplets build up large charges, which we later see as lightning. One of the researchers, Yao Jun, described the new invention as a “small-scale, man-made cloud”. Since the new device generates electricity from the air, scientists call it “Air-gen”. The new device is very small and very simple. In it, water molecules from the air move through tiny holes from the upper part of a material down into the lower part of the material. The holes are the key. The material has lots of extremely tiny holes called “nanopores (纳米孔)”. As the water molecules work their way through the nanopores, they disrupt the electrical balance between the upper and lower parts of the material, leaving the upper part with a greater charge. This “imbalance” between the two parts is what creates electricity. Currently, the device only makes a small amount of electricity. But in lab tests, the Air-gen produced electricity all day and all night for a week, powered by nothing but the air. Scientists have tried to make electricity from humidity before, but those methods didn’t work for long or were too expensive to make. In 2020, Dr. Yao and his team found a way of getting electricity from humidity using special “nanowires” made from bacteria. In time, that research led the scientists to the key invention of the Air-gen. The researchers are hopeful the Air-gen will become an important green energy source. Many scientists are impressed with the ideas behind the Air-gen. But some scientists have suggested that it might be tough for the Air-gen to create enough electricity to really make a difference, especially compared with solar energy. But Dr. Yao and his team are to work on ways to make Air-gen technology more powerful. Dr. Yao says, “What I imagine is that sometime in the future, we can get clean electricity wherever we go.” 12. Why does the author mention droplets in the first paragraph? A. To explain how they form lightning. B. To stress that they carry electric charges. C. To show they are a natural phenomenon. D. To bring in the topic for discussion. 13. What does the underlined word “disrupt” in the second paragraph mean? A. Improve. B. Disturb. C. Adjust. D. Establish. 14. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph? A. Air-gen sets the pace in electricity generation. B. Air-gen is more efficient than solar power. C. Air-gen is based on previous research. D. No electricity was made from moisture before. 15. What will Dr. Yao’s team continue to do next? A. To expand the use of Air-gen. B. To make Air-gen more productive. C. To switch to the study of solar energy. D. To cooperate with other research teams. 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Deal with Impossible People Most people know someone who seems to make every situation a negative and unmanageable one. ___16___, as they likely don’t see a problem with their behavior. Here are tips to help you navigate interactions with these people. Avoid getting defensive. Stay calm, and be aware that you will never win in an argument with impossible people — they are referred to as “impossible”for a reason. In their mind, you are the problem. ___17___. They’ve already decided that your opinion doesn’t matter and your defence is a decorative evidence. Adjust your strategy. ___18___, so treat it like a game. Learn the impossible person’s strategy, and develop counter strategies ahead of time. Eventually you’ll find what works and what doesn’t, plus you’ll probably feel better as you realize you’ re three steps ahead, outwitting (智胜) them at every turn. Just remember your ultimate goal is to help free yourself mentally, not become the person’s master. ___19___. Impossible people offer valuable life experiences. After dealing with them you will be able to get along with most other people more easily. Try to keep perspective, and realize that what may seem crazy to you may be another person’s only way of coping. Try to view these interactions as a way to build strengths such as flexibility, grace, and tolerance. Watch out for picking up impossible people’s characteristics. You tend to pick up on the behavior of those around you. For this reason, you could find yourself adopting the very characteristics that you dislike by accident. You may engage in the same illogical behavior in response to the impossible person. ___20___. A. Accept the situation B. Consider what you can learn C. Catch yourself when you start to do this D. Sometimes you can’t leave the situation E. So nothing you say can convince them to see your side of the story F. Pointing out that these people are difficult and demanding won’t help G.

There was no other way to describe her. Just the other day I heard her telling the headmaster that children took too much time in arts. She even said that most of us didn’t understand what we were doing. I left the office feeling very angry. My anger didn’t last, however. It was December and Christmas was approaching. Excitement filled me right up to the top of my head. I smiled and laughed, singing “Jingle Bells” as we rode home from school. After dinner, Mom and Dad called me into the family room. I knew what we were going to discuss. Every year for as long as I could remember, we had chosen a family who needed some extra help at Christmastime, and we had taken gifts and food to their house. It was one of our family’s favorite traditions. Dad said, “It’s time we decide which family to help this year. Do you have a suggestion?” Some years it had been really easy to decide, but this year I couldn’t think of anyone. Dad looked at Mom. “Maybe Mom has a suggestion. Sometimes she notices things the rest of us miss.” Mom smiled. “I do know of someone who needs our help. I think we should help Mrs. Susan.” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing! “But, Mom,” I protested, “she seems to have plenty of money and she dresses in nice clothes. Besides, she’s really bad-tempered. She doesn’t even like kids. She might even kick our gifts off her porch (门廊). I think we should choose someone else.” “I know Mrs. Susan has enough money,” Mom said. “I know she isn’t very pleasant to be around. But she was divorced before she moved here. She has three children who have their own children and never come to see her. She is very lonely and unhappy. You see, she never celebrates Christmas. April, you weren’t quite right when you said she wasn’t poor.” “You mean she’s poor in love?” I asked. “Yes. Sometimes it’s much more painful to be poor in love than it is to be poor in money?” I was quiet for minutes. Then Dad said, “Let’s take a vote.” Dad’ and Mom’s hands went up. Looking at them, I unwillingly raised mine. 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。 Mom said besides buying her a gift, we should make something by hand. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the box in hand, I could feel my heart pounding when ringing Susan’s doorbell. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2025—2026学年上学期高二年级期中考试 英语试卷 本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分，共10页，满分为150分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1、答卷前，考生务必用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔将自己的姓名和学号填写在答题卡密封线内相应的位置上，用2B铅笔将自己的学号填涂在答题卡上。 2、选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案；不能答在试卷上。 3、非选择题必须用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔在答题卡上作答，答案必须写在答卷纸各题目指定区域内的相应位置上，超出指定区域的答案无效；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案；不准使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答的答案无效。 4、考生必须保持答题卡的整洁和平整。 第一部分 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.

Reminded by my mother, I spent a long time making a gift and writing some Christmas wishes. I wrapped the gift carefully and put it in a beautiful box. On the top of the box I tied a bright red bow. Time flowed. When I finished all the preparations, my heart was full of excitement. On Christmas Day, my family and I went to Susan's door. With the box in hand, I could feel my heart pounding when ringing Susan’s doorbell. Ms. Susan was so surprised that her jaw dropped when she saw us. I said with great joy, “Merry Christmas! Here’s a present for you, Ms. Susan!” With great gratitude, Ms. Susan invited us in and opened my gift box. It’s a picture I made myself, which was about Ms. Susan reuniting with her family. She was so excited that she burst into tears and suddenly hugged me in her arms, sobbing, “This is the most meaningful gift I have ever received, and the most unforgettable Christmas I have ever had!” 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
