2025-2026学年度11月二校期中联考 (英语科) 试题 (满分120分，考试时间120分钟) 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) 阅读下列四篇短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A In the highly competitive college admissions landscape, extracurriculars are often the key differentiators (区分因素). Academic competitions not only highlight your intellectual abilities but also help demonstrate teamwork and problem-solving skills. The Slingshot Challenge The Slingshot Challenge is an initiative by the National Geographic Society that encourages young people aged 13 to 18 to come up with innovative solutions to environmental issues. Participants can submit a one-minute video outlining their ideas for a chance to win up to $10,000 in funding to implement their projects. Chemical Educational Foundation’s The Challenge Although it’s only open to middle school students in grades 5-8, the Chemical Education Foundation’s The Challenge is an opportunity for budding scientists to explore their interests in STEM fields! Teams of 3-4participants compete in exciting, time-based rounds of questions and responses. Additionally, teams get to create original videos to “launch a start-up company” around community-based sustainability solutions. John Locke Institute Competition The John Locke Institute is a unique essay competition for high schoolers. The top prize is one of the most exciting writing awards for high schoolers in the country. Participants can select one of three topics to address in a 2,000-word essay. The topics change from year to year but always relate to philosophy, politics, history, law, theology, economics, or psychology. National Young Composers Challenge The National Young Composers Challenge is a wonderful competition for instrumental composers between 13 and 18 years old in the United States. Participants are asked to submit one original composition, either for orchestra or for a small (2-6 instruments) ensemble. The compositions. must be under five minutes. The top three composers in each category receive cash prizes, as well as professional performances and recordings of their works! 1. Which requires participants to submit articles? A. The Slingshot Challenge B. Chemical Educational Foundation’s The Challenge C. John Locke Institute Competition D. National Young Composers Challenge 2. What do The Slingshot Challenge and National Young Composers Challenge have in common? A. Participants are required to submit videos. B. Participants focus on environmental problems. C. Winners will obtain professional suggestions. D. Winners will be financially rewarded. 3 What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To show the process of college admission. B. To recommend contests for students. C. To stress the importance of extracurriculars. D. To demonstrate skills required for competitions. B When I started my Ph. D. in cancer treatment, I was enthusiastic and curious about everything. I was determined to make a change. Like many other researchers, I conducted many experiments which involved using many disposable (一次性的) experimental materials. Gradually, I realized my work was generating a lot of waste, but I had accepted it as a necessary evil (罪恶). That all changed one day when I saw a huge pile of plastic waste — pipette boxes, tubes, packaging — piled against the wall. I went to my Ph. D. adviser and explained the idea of creating 3D printed lab tools out of some of our waste. She supported me and we secured funding to purchase recycling equipment and a dedicated 3D printer. Weeks later, I was quite depressed. The equipment required me to individually load each item to be recycled, which was incredibly time-consuming. It was also difficult to get the recycled material into a consistent shape that could be fed into the 3D printer. Luckily, my colleagues knew how committed I was to reducing the environmental footprint of our research. They were eager to brainstorm other ways to reduce our environmental footprint. In the following months, we introduced new recycling bins to each lab after learning that some of our plastic waste could be recycled if it was properly sorted. We also explored ways to reduce our use of plastic items. And we purchased meters (计量表) to track the energy consumption of various, pieces of lab equipment. Through those actions, we managed to turn off multiple freezers. We also increased the temperature of several ultra-low temperature freezers after realizing some samples didn’t have to be stored so cold. I’m still disappointed that I was not able to fully realize my 3D-printing vision, and I am determined to keep trying. But I’ve learned that if one approach isn’t working, sometimes it’s best to take a step back and look for other solutions. I’m thankful that with the help of the academic community around me, we were able to do that. 4. What drove the author to create 3D printed lab tools? A. His curiosity about cancer treatment. B. His discontent with the growing waste. C. His willingness to relieve patients’ pains. D. His trouble in getting experimental materials. 5. What can we say about the author’s 3D-printing vision? A. It’s far from being practicable. B. It takes time to win others’ favor. C. It’s tailored for various lab wastes. D. It requires large financial investment. 6. What does Paragraph 4 focus on? A The challenges of sorting different wastes. B. The routine tasks of the author’s research work. C. The effort put into making sustainable research. D. The importance of monitoring daily carbon footprints. 7. What can we learn from the author’s experience? A. We should always dream big. B. We must develop a flexible mind. C. We should build bonds with family. D. We should respect the fruits of others. C May 28, 2025, the collapse of Switzerland’s Birch glacier sent a deadly ice cloud into Blatten village, serving as a global warning — especially for threatened Asian communities near fragile ice. While climate change’s role in this specific event requires investigation, its broader impact on societies that rely on icy environments is undeniable, stated Ali Neumann at a UN-backed conference. Though one person remains missing, the moving of 300 residents to safety prevented mass deaths, proving timely crisis management reduces disaster scale. Swiss experts use sensors and satellites to monitor glaciers, but many Himalayan nations lack such resources. “The whole chain—from monitoring to danger communication—needs strengthening in Asia,” warned WMO’s Stefan Uhlenbrook, noting critical gaps in data connectivity. A 2024 UN report reveals two-thirds of Asia-Pacific nations have early warning systems, yet frontline countries remain least covered. “Monitoring exists but isn’t enough,” stressed Nepal’s ICIMOD geologist Sudan Maharjan, mentioning landform challenges and funding shortages. This difference costs lives: Disaster deaths average 338 per event in Asia-Pacific versus 189 globally. Himalayan glaciers — vital for 2 billion people—are melting at unprecedented rates, triggering glacial lake outbursts and permafrost（永久冻土） landslides. “Exporting Swiss tech isn’t sufficient,” argued geoscientist Jakob Steiner. “Complex disasters demand community cooperation as much as technology.” “Mere monitoring is inadequate,” emphasized the Asian Development Bank’s Declan Magee, “We must rethink infrastructure locations and reduce weakness.” Nepal’s May landslide that destroyed Til village demonstrated this urgency. “In Switzerland, escape plan came days early; here we had seconds.” said climate activist Tashi Lhazom. The accelerating crisis demands integrated action. As glaciers disappear, communities face unpredictable disasters—exposing a serious need for globally equal preparedness. 8. What prevented mass deaths in Blatten village’s glacier collapse? A. Advanced satellite monitoring. B. Effective emergency management. C. Global warning systems. D. Strengthened infrastructure. 9. What can be inferred about Himalayan nations from UN data? A. They prioritize tech over community. B. They employ Swiss models successfully. C. Their early-warning coverage is inadequate. D. Their funding shortages are resolved. 10. What does the underlined word “ difference” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Gap in disaster monitoring capacity. B. Variation in global death rates. C. Contrast between disaster types. D. Difference in community responses. 11. What is the author’s primary purpose in writing this article? A. To compare glacier monitoring technologies. B. To analyze climate change’s role in a Swiss disaster. C. To advocate for global equality in disaster preparedness. D. To highlight the increased hi-tech usage in emergencies. D An experiment was a striking attempt to investigate weight control. For six weeks, a group of mice fed on high-fat food, and then scientists infected the mice with worms (蠕虫). Bruno Guigas, a molecular biologist at the Leiden University Center for Infectious Diseases in the Netherlands, led this study some years back and the results, he says, were quite amazing. The mice lost fat and gained less weight overall than mice not exposed to worms. Within a month or so, he recalls, the scientists barely needed their measuring tool to see that the mice infected with worms lost more weight than the ones not exposed to worms. Infection with worms seems to have fought obesity (肥胖), the researchers reported in 2015. While it’s true that worms eat up the food their hosts might otherwise digest, that doesn’t seem to be the only factor at work here. There’s also some complicated biology within the emerging scientific field of immunometabolism (免疫代谢). Over the past couple of decades, researchers have recognized that the immune system doesn’t just fight infection. It’s also associated with organs like the liver, the pancreas and fat tissue, and implicated in the progression of obesity and type 2 diabetes. These and other metabolic disorders generate a troublesome immune response — inflammation (炎症), which worsens metabolism still further. Metabolic disease, sometimes, is inflammatory disease. Scientists have also observed the metabolic influence of worms in people who became naturally infected with the worms or were purposely seeded with worms in clinical trials. While the physiology isn’t fully understood, the worms seem to be real masters at controlling inflammation, as discussed in the 2024 Annual Review of Nutrition. Worms can be dangerous in high numbers, and cause symptoms such as diarrhea and malnutrition in those at high risk, including children. But for most people, infection with a few worms is benign. They can coexist with humans. “We’re never going to cure or treat metabolic disease with worm infections,” says Guigas. “They cause unpleasant side effects, and it would be impractical to infect millions of people with worms. But the findings could inspire more traditional treatments, which might bring fewer negative effects.” 12. What happened to the mice exposed to worms within about a month? A. They became sick of high-fat food. B. They broke free of the infected worms. C. They infected the mice not exposed to worms. D. They got noticeably thinner than worm-free mice. 13. What can be learned from paragraph 4? A. Inflammatory disease can be cured with worms. B. Treating metabolic disease demands deworming. C. The immune system only fights against infection. D. Controlling inflammation may benefit metabolism. 14. What does the underlined word “benign“ in paragraph 6 probably mean? A. Harmless. B. Dangerous. C. Complex. D. Avoidable. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Studies on Mice: The Key to Weight Control B. Worms Can Help to Fight Metabolic Disease C. Worms: A Potential Threat to Human Health D. Inflammatory Disease Spreads Among People 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。 Are all the emails and social media notifications making you anxious or getting you down?

Still, the smallest things made me feel out of place. Luckily, the Wilsons, my host family, did everything they could to help me settle in — driving me around, sharing meals, and even letting me use their kitchen when. I. missed Chinese food. With their warmth and support, everything seemed to fall into place. But at school, small moments felt bigger than I’d imagined. In our first literature class, we discussed a Hemingway story. Everyone jumped in actively, while I struggled to speak up. My desk-mate encouraged me, “Next time, just speak up.” I nodded, forcing a bitter smile. And just like that, I found myself in another cultural trap, Mrs. Wilson’s birthday dinner. At the table, I answered politely but kept mostly to myself. Mrs. Wilson noticed my silence and gently asked, “You alright, sweet girl? You’ re so quiet tonight.” My face reddened. Was my silence seen as cold, rather than polite? That night, restless and wide awake, I wondered if I needed to laugh louder, speak faster; or hide parts of myself just to feel I belonged. Questions flooded my mind, none with answers. A few days later, our teacher announced there would be a Culture Festival next week. “You’ ll prepare a stand to share your own culture — food, crafts, customs ... anything meaningful. You can not only display your culture but also make it interactive, allowing people to try new things, learn traditional skills. or share stories and cultural symbols,” she said. The class lit up with excitement. I sat frozen, mind racing: how could I share my traditions in English? The thought made my stomach twisted (扭曲). Yet, I gathered myself with a deep breath and signed up. After that, I threw myself wholeheartedly into preparations, until the day finally came. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 At the Culture Festival, I stood behind my stand, nervous but ready. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day on, my world here started to change. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2025-2026学年度11月二校期中联考 (英语科) 试题 (满分120分，考试时间120分钟) 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) 阅读下列四篇短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A 【1~3题答案】 【答案】1.

I firmly believe life skills classes are absolutely necessary for students. Initially, these classes fill a gap in traditional education. Subjects like cooking, budgeting, and basic home repairs are rarely taught in regular lessons, but they are essential for independent adult life. For example, learning to manage money helps us avoid financial troubles later. Secondly, life skills boost confidence. Mastering practical tasks, such as sewing a button or fixing a broken lamp, makes us feel capable of handling real-life challenges. In short, life skills classes prepare us for the future beyond exams. Schools should definitely include them in the curriculum. 第二节 (满分25分) 【47题答案】 【答案】【参考范文】（116+115词） At the Culture Festival, I stood behind my stand, nervous but ready. Taking a deep breath, I once again neatly arranged all the well-prepared items: red paper and scissors. Soon, students and teachers gathered, curiosity in their eyes. I welcomed them with a smile and demonstrated: fold, cut, unfold — and a butterfly spread its wings. A wave of surprise rippled through the crowd. Encouraged, I invited a boy to try; his star turned out uneven, yet drew laughter and applause. More joined eagerly, and I moved among them, guiding their hands, praising their efforts and celebrating each creation. When a teacher proudly held up her paper flower, the cheers grew louder. Red pieces fell to the floor, and my confidence, once hidden, shone through every new pattern. From that day on, my world here started to change. In the hallway, students waved butterflies from my stand and greeted me with bright “Ni hao!” My heart lifted as I waved back. In literature class, I gave voice to my ideas with newfound confidence. My English was not flawless, yet my voice was steady, and instead of silence I saw nods and smiles. After class, a girl asked softly, “Can you show us more about your culture?” Her words lingered in my heart, echoing like a gentle reminder. In that echo, I realized I had not only broken free from cultural shock but also found my place in a shared story — one written by many voices, yet open enough to hold my own. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
