B Chinese Nobel Prize-winning physicist Zhen Ning Yang, one of the most influential scientists in modern physics, passed away in Beijing on October 18 due to illness at the age of 103. Born in 1922, Yang was brought up surrounded by the Tsinghua campus, where his father was a math professor. After finishing his undergraduate degree, he obtained his master’s degree from Tsinghua. He enrolled in the University of Chicago in the United States to pursue a doctorate in 1946 and was strongly influenced by Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi, who had won the same Nobel Prize in 1938. He later became a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Yang won the Nobel Prize in 1957 with Tsung-Dao Lee for their investigation of the so-called parity laws that led to “important discoveries regarding the elementary particles,” according to the Nobel Prize website. They were the first Chinese-born Nobel Prize winners in physics. Professor Yang was deeply devoted to his homeland, making remarkable contributions to China’s scientific and educational developments. His visit to China in 1971 led to a wave of visits by overseas scholars, earning him recognition as the pioneer in building the bridge of academic exchange between China and the United States. He later proposed the restoration and strengthening of basic scientific research to China’s central leadership. He also raised funds to establish the “Committee on Educational Exchange with China”, which has continuously sponsored nearly 100Chinese scholars for advanced studies in the United States. These scholars later became the backbone of China’ s scientific and technological development. He undertook extensive work to promote China’s scientific and technological exchange and progress, offering advice and exercising significant influence on major Chinese scientific projects and the formulation (制定) of science and education policies. After returning to Tsinghua University in 1999, he took on developing the Institute for Advanced Study as his new mission. He poured enormous effort into advancing fundamental disciplines like physics and cultivating talents at Tsinghua, making remarkable contributions that greatly impacted the reform and development of Chinese higher education. Professor Yang’s life stands as a timeless chapter in human history — one that shines not only for China but for the global community of thinkers and innovators. 24. What is the article mainly about?

It belongs to the whole world. C. It lies in his Nobel Prize achievement. D. It is mainly about educational reform. C An exhibition of paintings of ancient Chinese characters was held on July 13 in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, with the aim of promoting people-to-people and cultural exchanges. Based on the classic I Ching or The Book of Changes (《易经》), the display brought together the art of Ethiopia’s Dawit Muluneh and famous calligrapher Wu Jiuyi, who produced examples of calligraphy on the spot. Speaking at the event, its organizer Gossa Oda says the exhibition was an opportunity to showcase cultural commonalities and shared knowledge between the two countries. “In organizing this exhibition, I wanted to communicate the ancient mystery of I Ching, which helps improve connectivity between Ethiopia and China and promote their shared future. A shared future starts from shared knowledge,” says Oda, who is also the owner of the Medemer Africa Art and Sculpture Space, where the 64 paintings are housed. Oda says such an exhibition would strengthen people-to-people ties and cultural exchanges, stressing the importance of knowledge and civilizations for human development. The paintings describes the 64 divinatory (占卜的) symbols found in I Ching, which represent the day-to-day interaction between man and nature. “They are meant to share knowledge and feelings with visitors, and descriptions are written in Chinese, English and Amharic.” says Muluneh, who painted all 64 paintings in a year. He says the exhibition can be considered a stepping stone to promote cultural exchange and create mutual situations for common development between the peoples of China and Ethiopia. “The backgrounds of the paintings make use of Ethiopian styles and express the ideas of heaven, harvest, and relief, among others,” says Muluneh, who drew similarities and absorbed essential parts from the traditional arts of both countries. In an interview, Wu says that he was taken by surprise when he saw an Ethiopian artist painting Chinese characters. The exhibition attracted members of the Chinese community in Addis Ababa, Ethiopian artists and painters, and school children. 28. What’s the main purpose of the exhibition held in Addis Ababa? A. To promote Ethiopian art globally. B. To introduce the I Ching to Ethiopians. C. To promote cultural exchanges between Ethiopia and China. D. To celebrate the cooperation between Dawit Muluneh and Wu Jiuyi. 29. What do the symbols in I Ching stand for? A. Different language signs. B. Human-nature connection. C. Daily exploration in nature. D. Shared knowledge of human. 30. What does the phrase “a stepping stone” in the context mean? A. A physical object used for walking. B. A metaphor for a difficult beginning. C. A special stone used in Ethiopian art. D. An initial effort leading to further progress. 31. What’s the best title for the text? A. China and Ethiopia Cooperate on I Ching B. Countries Are Drawn to Cultural Harmony C. Advocating the Cultural Diversity Is Beneficial D. An Exhibition in Ethiopia Featuring Chinese Characters D White noise is defined as noise that contains a mixture of all audible frequencies that human ears can hear (about 20 hertz to 20 kilohertz). This type of noise includes low- midrange - and high-frequency sounds. Some noise types (or colors) get their names based on colors of light wavelengths. White light contains all the frequencies in the visible range, so you can see how white noise earned its name. Another way to think about it is as “20,000 tones all playing at the same time.” Why is it good to sleep with white noise? It can be an effective tool for “noise masking” and help avoid trouble sleeping. Studies indicate that listening to white noise for sleep can have some payoffs, such as by blocking out other sounds that can startle you out of sleep. Researchers believe that white noise is a noise that makes someone’s hearing threshold level (阀域值) reach its maximum rate, which means the presence sounds in the background become less capable of stimulating the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层) region of the brain during sleep. A study published in 2021 examined the effects of white noise on sleep for 10 New York City residents who live in a high-noise environment. While the sample size is small, the data showed that “white noise significantly improved sleep based on subjective and objective measurements in subjects complaining of difficulty sleeping due to high levels of environmental noise.” Further researches confirms these findings. For instance, white noise helped improved average total sleep time in patients admitted to a coronary care unit in a 2016 study, while research published in 2022 found that critically ill patients improved their sleep quality with the use of white noise. White noise are now widely available. There’s one option to use a sleep machine app on your phone if you don’t want to purchase a device. If using white noise while studying, try listening to YouTube videos on your computer or phone completely for free, which can play in the background and drown out other distracting sounds. 32. Why is listening to white noise beneficial to sleep? A. It influences the colors of light wavelengths. B. It plays many tones at the same time. C. It blocks out other sounds that disturb sleep. D. It contains all audible frequencies. 33. What did the studies find about the effects of white noise on sleep? A. White noise improved the sleep of residents in noisy areas. B. White noise was ineffective for the sleep of critically ill patients. C. White noise caused patients’ difficulty sleeping. D. White noise improved average total sleep time largely. 34. How does the author introduce the ways of getting white noise? A. By listing some figures. B. By giving an example. C. By making a comparison. D. By giving a definition. 35. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Why is White Noise? B. What is White Noise? C. How to Get White Noise? D. Where to Get White Noise? 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。 Blind boxes, or mystery boxes, are sealed packages containing surprise items.

She was not young, holding a basket with bunches of flowers. “Would you like the flowers, they are $3?” she asked me as I was walking past. I politely responded “No, thank you”, as I walked away and went inside the supermarket. I was walking around the supermarket searching for the thing that I was needing to buy and thinking of that lady, standing in the cold holding her basket of flowers. Visualizing the beautiful flowers I had admired, her polite quiet voice and lonely figure, I wondered about her unknown story of standing in the cold with her basket. Maybe her family was in urgent need of money; maybe she was a lone soul to earn a living with her own hands… I had my own personal struggles, I had to budget for everything and I appreciated that $3 was a lot for me, like many of us all and probably for her too. But it wasn’t my first thought when she had asked me about buying her flowers. My first thought was I didn’t have the cash but this couldn’t be used as an excuse for not buying those flowers. I had not carried cash with me for a few years and I thought many of us did the same. When I went to the register to pay with my card I asked for $3 cash out. The staff member questioned me about the $3. I felt anxious about it quickly and tried to remember the money I had in my account And at the same time she pressed the button to process it. I had mentioned that I wanted to buy flowers from the lady who was selling them outside. Sigh of relief. I was glad to see it all had been accepted by the machine and the staff member handed me the $3. 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。 After walking out of the supermarket, I headed to the lady. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I gave her $3 but was surprised when she handed me the change. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 河南省信阳高级中学新校（贤岭校区） 2025-2026学年高二上期11月测试（二） 英语试题 考生注意： 1.答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔分别填写在试题卷和答题纸规定的位置上。 2．答题时，请按照答题纸上“注意事项”的要求，在答题纸相应的位置上规范作答，在本试题卷上的作答一律无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题纸上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

This type of noise includes low-, midrange - and high-frequency sounds. Some noise types (or colors) get their names based on colors of light wavelengths. White light contains all the frequencies in the visible range, so you can see how white noise earned its name. Another way to think about it is as “20,000 tones all playing at the same time.” Why is it good to sleep with white noise? It can be an effective tool for “noise masking” and help avoid trouble sleeping. Studies indicate that listening to white noise for sleep can have some payoffs, such as by blocking out other sounds that can startle you out of sleep. Researchers believe that white noise is a noise that makes someone’s hearing threshold level (阀域值) reach its maximum rate, which means the presence sounds in the background become less capable of stimulating the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层) region of the brain during sleep. A study published in 2021 examined the effects of white noise on sleep for 10 New York City residents who live in a high-noise environment. While the sample size is small, the data showed that “white noise significantly improved sleep based on subjective and objective measurements in subjects complaining of difficulty sleeping due to high levels of environmental noise.” Further researches confirms these findings. For instance, white noise helped improved average total sleep time in patients admitted to a coronary care unit in a 2016 study, while research published in 2022 found that critically ill patients improved their sleep quality with the use of white noise. White noise are now widely available. There’s one option to use a sleep machine app on your phone if you don’t want to purchase a device. If using white noise while studying, try listening to YouTube videos on your computer or phone completely for free, which can play in the background and drown out other distracting sounds. 32. Why is listening to white noise beneficial to sleep? A. It influences the colors of light wavelengths. B. It plays many tones at the same time. C. It blocks out other sounds that disturb sleep. D. It contains all audible frequencies. 33. What did the studies find about the effects of white noise on sleep? A. White noise improved the sleep of residents in noisy areas. B. White noise was ineffective for the sleep of critically ill patients. C. White noise caused patients’ difficulty sleeping. D. White noise improved average total sleep time largely. 34. How does the author introduce the ways of getting white noise? A. By listing some figures. B. By giving an example. C. By making a comparison. D. By giving a definition. 35. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Why is White Noise? B. What is White Noise? C. How to Get White Noise? D. Where to Get White Noise? 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了白噪音的定义、对睡眠的好处、相关研究结果以及获取白噪音的方式。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It can be an effective tool for “noise masking” and help avoid trouble sleeping. Studies indicate that listening to white noise for sleep can have some payoffs, such as by blocking out other sounds that can startle you out of sleep.(它可以成为“噪音掩蔽”的有效工具，帮助避免睡眠问题。研究表明，听白噪音睡觉有一些好处，比如可以屏蔽其他会把你从睡眠中惊醒的声音。)”可知，听白噪音对睡眠有益是因为它可以屏蔽其他干扰睡眠的声音。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“A study published in 2021 examined the effects of white noise on sleep for 10 New York City residents who live in a high-noise environment. While the sample size is small, the data showed that “white noise significantly improved sleep based on subjective and objective measurements in subjects complaining of difficulty sleeping due to high levels of environmental noise.”(2021年发表的一项研究调查了白噪音对10名居住在高噪音环境中的纽约市居民睡眠的影响。虽然样本量较小，但数据显示，“根据主观和客观测量，白噪音显著改善了那些因环境噪音高而抱怨睡眠困难的受试者的睡眠。”)”可知，研究发现白噪音改善了噪音地区居民的睡眠。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“There’s one option to use a sleep machine app on your phone if you don’t want to purchase a device. If using white noise while studying, try listening to YouTube videos on your computer or phone completely for free, which can play in the background and drown out other distracting sounds.(如果你不想购买设备，可以在手机上使用睡眠机器应用程序。如果在学习时使用白噪音，可以尝试在电脑或手机上完全免费地收听YouTube视频，这些视频可以在后台播放，并淹没其他分散注意力的声音。)”可知，作者通过举例（使用手机睡眠机器应用程序、在电脑或手机上收听YouTube视频）来介绍获取白噪音的方式。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段中“Why is it good to sleep with white noise? It can be an effective tool for ‘noise masking’ and help avoid trouble sleeping.(为什么听白色噪音有助于睡眠？它是一种有效的‘噪音屏蔽’工具，有助于避免睡眠问题。)”、第三段对白色噪音助眠原理的解释，以及第四段多项研究验证其改善睡眠的效果可知，文章核心围绕“白色噪音为何有用（尤其助眠作用）”展开。因此A选项“Why is White Noise?(为什么是白噪音？)”最符合文章主旨。故选A。 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。 Blind boxes, or mystery boxes, are sealed packages containing surprise items.

She was not young, holding a basket with bunches of flowers. “Would you like the flowers, they are $3?” she asked me as I was walking past. I politely responded “No, thank you”, as I walked away and went inside the supermarket. I was walking around the supermarket searching for the thing that I was needing to buy and thinking of that lady, standing in the cold holding her basket of flowers. Visualizing the beautiful flowers I had admired, her polite quiet voice and lonely figure, I wondered about her unknown story of standing in the cold with her basket. Maybe her family was in urgent need of money; maybe she was a lone soul to earn a living with her own hands… I had my own personal struggles, I had to budget for everything and I appreciated that $3 was a lot for me, like many of us all and probably for her too. But it wasn’t my first thought when she had asked me about buying her flowers. My first thought was I didn’t have the cash but this couldn’t be used as an excuse for not buying those flowers. I had not carried cash with me for a few years and I thought many of us did the same. When I went to the register to pay with my card I asked for $3 cash out. The staff member questioned me about the $3. I felt anxious about it quickly and tried to remember the money I had in my account And at the same time she pressed the button to process it. I had mentioned that I wanted to buy flowers from the lady who was selling them outside. Sigh of relief. I was glad to see it all had been accepted by the machine and the staff member handed me the $3. 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。 After walking out of the supermarket, I headed to the lady. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I gave her $3 but was surprised when she handed me the change. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 After walking out of the supermarket, I headed to the lady. She was standing there, trembling in the cold. No sooner had she noticed my approach than her weather-beaten face lit up. I said shyly “I would like to buy some of your flowers.”. On hearing that, she instantly put the basket of flowers in front of me, wearing a big and warm smile. The flowers were in full bloom, dancing in the wind. I chose the bunch of flowers I had first sighted. I gave her $3 but was surprised when she handed me the change. I couldn't help but ask the price of the flowers. “$3 for all!” she explained. Without hesitation, I told her to keep the change. She took the money with shaking hands, tears welling up in her eyes. As I walked away, I hoped someone else could walk up to her and buy the rest flowers. We were all going through our own struggles but no matter how little we could do, it would make a difference. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在超市外看到了一个在寒冷的环境中卖花的人，花的价格是三美元，生活拮据的作者出于对卖花人的同情，在超市付款时取出来三美元的现金决定去买花。听到作者要买花的时候，卖花人很高兴，作者递给她三美元，卖花人要找回零钱时，作者吃惊地询问价格，表示不用找零钱了，卖花人很感动。作者明白了一个道理：我们都在经历自己的挣扎，但无论我们能做的有多少，都会有大影响。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“走出超市后，我走向那位女士。”可知，第一段可描写作者买花的过程，作者去买花时说了什么，卖花的女士有何反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“我给了她3美元，但当她把找零给我时，我很惊讶。 ”可知第二段可描写作者吃惊地询问花的价格，卖花的女士给出解释，作者会有什么样的反应和得出什么感悟。 2.续写线索：走出超市去买花—卖花人的反应—作者付款，看到零钱感到惊讶—询问价格，表示不需要找零钱—卖花人的反应—希望有人买剩下的花—感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①在寒冷中颤抖：tremble in the cold/ shiver in the cold ②在风中摇摆：dance in the wind/ swing in the wind ③走近某人：walk up to sb./come up to sb. 情绪类 ①面露喜色：one’s face lit up/one’s face beamed with delight/happiness shone from one’s face ②悲伤：tears welling up in her eyes/eyes filled with tears 【点睛】[高分句型1] No sooner had she noticed my approach than her weather-beaten face lit up.（运用了no sooner…than句型且使用了部分倒装） [高分句型2] On hearing that, she instantly put the basket of flowers in front of me, wearing a big and warm smile.（运用了非谓语动词作状语） [高分句型3] She took the money with shaking hands, tears welling up in her eyes.（运用了独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。I wanted to eat chicken and soup for lunch, but I change my mind now.
