He found Oliver leaning against the fence behind the gym, eyes red and shoulders slumped. Peter approached quietly. “It’s not fair,” Oliver mumbled without looking up. “I practiced every day.” Peter sat down beside him. “I know,” he said gently. “Remember last month when you finally nailed that three-pointer? The whole court cheered. You’ve come so far.” Oliver shook his head. “But not far enough.” Peter put a hand on his back. “The team isn’t everything. You’re still my best partner on this court. And guess what? I need you more than ever—to help me train, to spot my weak passes. Will you be my personal coach?” Oliver finally met his eyes, a faint hope flickering there. The match day saw Oliver sitting beside the court, happily watching. Clutch a notebook and a water bottle, he was no longer just a spectator. Throughout the game, he jotted down observations and shouted encouragement. During a tense timeout, Peter rushed over, and Oliver quickly showed him a note: “No. 7 tends to guard left.” Peter’s eyes lit up. In the final quarter, Peter used that tip to break through and score. When the buzzer announced their victory, Peter didn’t rush to his teammates first. He ran straight to Oliver and pulled him into a heartfelt hug. “We did it,” Peter whispered. Oliver beamed, realizing that true partnership wasn’t always about standing on the same court, but about holding the same dream in heart. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 平冈中学2025-2026学年第一学期期中考试 高二年级英语试题 考试时间：14:30-16:30 命题人：曾琳琳、陶晴 审题人：赖萍 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。 A If you’re looking for a truly original country to visit, then Myanmar is the place. Whether you are looking for culture, history, nature, or cuisine, you will find a place to suit your taste here. Below are four popular tourist destinations in Myanmar. Yangon Yangon has a large population, but the city doesn’t seem crowded. There are trees everywhere, which gives it a totally different feel from other Asian cities. At night, Yangon's wide streets come alive with stalls(货摊) selling delicious food. The most famous temple is the gold-plated Shwedagon Paya. The colonial architecture of the Strand Hotel is another great sight. Mandalay Picturesque Mandalay is famous for being the old royal capital of Myanmar. In the past, Burmese kings would have lived in the city and you can still see some of their palaces in evidence. Mandalay is also known for its Chinese and Indian immigrants. One of the best things to do here is to spend time enjoying the varied cuisines on offer. Its scenic mountains and beautiful waterfalls are what visitors should not miss. Bagan Travelers with a passion for Buddhist temples should have a field day in Bagan, since it contains the most of these in the world. The most popular destination in Bagan was the capital of the First Burmese Empire from the 9th to the 13th centuries. Today the site is still home to thousands of temples and pagodas, including the famous Ananda Temple with its sparkling gold spires. Kalaw If you want to explore the rural and natural beauty of Myanmar, Kalaw is a must-go place. When trekking(长途跋涉) through the hills of Kalaw, you will experience the diverse landscapes, cultures, and lifestyles of the local people, as well as enjoy the fresh air and scenic views. You will need a guide to show you the way and arrange your accommodation. 1. What makes Yangon different from other Asian cities? A. Its large population. B. Shwedagon Paya. C. Its delicious food. D. The trees everywhere. 2. What do Mandalay and Bagan have in common? A. The old capital identity. B. The diverse cuisines. C. The royal palaces. D. The Buddhist temples. 3. What will visitors experience in Kalaw? A. The temple culture. B. The local lifestyle. C. The cozy accommodation. D. The fresh cuisines. B Ernst Mach was a weak child, born in Moravia(now Czechia) in 1838. He didn't even go to school until the age of 14. Instead, his parents educated him at home. Like many genius children, his teachers criticized him, calling him "unteachable, absolutely talentless." Yet young Mach excelled at university in Vienna. He studied mathematics, physics and philosophy. He was also boundlessly curious. He conducted all kinds of experiments, believing that theories must be tried, tested, and proven in facts, but first formulated in the mind. He brought this rigorous(缜密的) approach to his studies, believing that true science is based on what actually happens and can be observed. In addition to his work in the sciences, Mach was also a well-rounded student, with interests in philosophy and even sports. He was an excellent boxer and fencer, which reflected the wide range of his abilities and interests. As a teacher, Mach was serious and demanding. That was the model of pedagogy (教学) of his time, and Mach followed this standard: tight collar, buttoned-down tie, waistcoat and jacket, and serious eyes behind wire-framed glasses. He expected exactness from his students. Among those he influenced was the young Albert Einstein. Mach's insistence on clarity and rigorous testing of ideas helped shape Einstein's thinking. Though Mach was doubtful about some of Einstein's later conclusions, such as E=mc², his doubt drove Einstein to prove his ideas further. He pushed the young Einstein to achieve excellence. While Mach is credited with many theories of his own, including the aircraft velocity (速度) measurement that bears his name, "Mach 1, Mach 2, etc.", his mentorship of Einstein is perhaps his greatest achievement. The best teachers in our lives also challenge us and see us as not yet complete but full of potential. They shine a light on the path that gets us to a successful reality. And through us, they live on. 4. What can we know about Ernst Mach from paragraph 1? A. He attended university at the age of 14. B. He was considered a genius by his teachers. C. His early education was shaped by his parents. D. His physical disability discouraged his studying. 5. How did Ernst Mach impact Albert Einstein? A. He forced Einstein to give in. B. He challenged Einstein to progress. C. He introduced new theories to Einstein. D. He inspired Einstein to focus on physics. 6. Which can best describe Ernst Mach? A. Cautious and ambitious. B. Professional and influential. C. Diligent and dependent. D. Incredible and accessible. 7. In which column of a magazine can we probably read this text? A. Sports. B. Travel. C. Fashion. D. Education. C Cuckoos(杜鹃) are a familiar and beloved species in the UK, whose arrival marks the beginning of summer. They make a long journey from their wintering grounds in Africa to raise its young on the British Isles. However, the cuckoo population in the UK is falling sharply. Since 1995, the number of breeding cuckoos has dropped by 35%. To understand why this is happening, researchers at the British Trust for Ornithology(鸟类学) are now using high-tech equipment to find answers. Researchers have been attaching satellite tags(标签) to cuckoos, which send out real-time location data. This data reveals how long cuckoos spend in the UK, when they leave, and which migration routes they take between the UK and Africa. The hope is that this data will give scientists a detailed understanding of cuckoo migration, the threats they face along the way, and the conservation measures that could be adopted to improve their chances of survival. The tags have already revealed many insights into cuckoo migration. It's hoped that as data keeps coming in, scientists will better understand the factors that influence whether cuckoos survive their migration, and therefore the best ways to help protect the species. It's not just the scientists who have been eagerly tracking the tagged birds, though. The tags provide live location data which is published on an online map. Members of the public can therefore watch the cuckoos' incredible journeys, too, and if you click on the individuals on the map, you can find out more about each bird. "This ongoing project opens a significant window on the wonders of migration, and our discoveries are helping to shape the way we look at bird migration more widely," says lead scientist on the project, Dr. Chris Hewson. "It will also lay a foundation from which cuckoo conservation measures can be planned, increasing the likelihood that the call of these birds will grace our summers for generations to come." 8. What is the purpose of the British Trust for Ornithology's research? A. To find out what happened to cuckoos' habitat. B. To test out how to make an online map for Africa. C. To find out why there are fewer and fewer cuckoos. D. To test out how high-tech equipment can be used in the research. 9. How can the public be involved in the cuckoo tracking project according to the passage? A. By contributing funds to the research. B. By participating in bird watching tours. C. By following the live location data online. D. By observing the birds in their natural habitat. 10. Which statement may Dr. Chris Hewson agree with about the project? A. It paves the way for the species' conservation. B. It inspires the public's passion for technology. C. It will help cuckoos choose a safer migration route. D. It shows the exact population of cuckoos in the UK. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Cuckoos' Migration Routes B. Tracking Cuckoos' Journeys C. Decline of New Species in the UK D. Conservation Measures for Birds D In recent years, prefabricated (预制的) dishes have grown rapidly popular in China. These are pre-cooked, seasoned, and packaged meals that require little to no preparation, offering a quick and convenient dining option without sacrificing major taste or nutrition. As people grow increasingly busier, time for cooking has become a rare resource. Prefabricated dishes address this pressing need by offering a significant reduction in meal preparation time. Other factors also contribute to their popularity- such as the convenience of e-commerce and delivery services that allow easy online ordering and quick home delivery, and the role of modern technology like vacuum (真空) and adjusted atmosphere packaging slows food spoilage. Along with precise temperature control and bacteria-killing techniques that ensure safety and quality, it is ultimately the fundamental demand for time-saving solutions in a nonstop world that serves as the primary driving force for their widespread acceptance. However, the rise of prefabricated dishes is not without concerns. Health issues remain a primary consideration, as some products contain additives and preservatives, which could pose risks if consumed excessively. Additionally, when compared to traditional freshly prepared meals, they often fall short in keeping the original flavor and nutritional value. In response, governments have carried out stricter safety standards and enhanced quality control measures. Meanwhile, certain manufacturers are actively exploring the use of natural ingredients and reducing additives to improve nutritional composition. As a growing trend in China's food industry, prefabricated dishes provide undeniable convenience, yet consumers are advised to remain cautious about their dietary choices. The future of the industry relies on balanced development- where convenience, safety, and health can coexist. 12. What is the main reason behind the popularity of prefabricated dishes according to the text? A. The social trend of pursuing a modern lifestyle. B. The government's strong promotion and supports. C. The superior flavor they offer compared to home-cooked meals. D. The time-saving convenience they provide in a fast-paced society. 13. The underlined word "spoilage" in Paragraph 2 most probably means the process of ______. A. losing nutritional value B. changing original flavor C. becoming bad or unfit to eat D. being delivered to customers 14. Which of the following best describes the current situation of prefabricated dishes according to the text? A. They have mostly addressed food safety issues through regulations. B. They are considered as equally nutritious as freshly prepared meals. C. They are achieving widespread acceptance and also arousing doubts. D. They are gradually replacing traditional cooking in most households. 15. What is the author's attitude toward the industry's future? A. Objective. B. Favorable. C. Critical. D. Indifferent. 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。 After hours of cooking and arranging the table, your goal is simple: to create an unforgettable dining experience for your guests. But success isn't just about fresh ingredients or cooking skills. ______ 16 ______ Colour's influence starts with the first glance. ______ 17 ______ The brain processes colour information and links it to taste, making us judge the same dish as delicious, average, or unappealing. So, making the food visually attractive is key, as guests will assume it tastes as good as it looks. For picky eaters, bowl colour is crucial. ______ 18 ______ They often find meals in red or blue bowls saltier than in white ones. A red bowl can also make them hesitant to try new dishes, and they might even refuse food if the bowl's colour doesn't suit them. Choosing the right tableware colour is top priority here. White plates are usually a safe choice, but avoid them with pale foods, which will look tasteless. They work well with vibrant dishes like salads or roasted meats, making the food's colours stand out. For desserts, white plates enhance sweetness and flavor intensity. ______ 19 ______ Black plates, for example, can make food seem saltier and larger in portion. This means dark tableware needs careful consideration of the dish's flavor and portion size. On the contrary, bright, pure hues add creativity and highlight less colorful foods but can go wrong. ______ 20 ______ Matching the plate's colour too closely to the food can make portions seem smaller, as everything blends. Understanding colour psychology lets you turn a simple meal into a memorable experience- all through smart tableware choices. It allows you to guide your guests' perceptions subtly, ensuring that each dish not only tastes wonderful but also feels perfectly suited to the moment. A. Dark plates have more varied effects. B. They prefer simple tableware without any patterns. C. The wrong bright shade makes food look artificial. D. That initial visual impression brings about a chain reaction. E. Using the wrong colour can ruin the overall dining mood. F. Their reactions to tableware colours are often more sensitive. G. The colour of tableware like plates, shapes how guests feel about the food. 第二部分 语言运用（共三节，满分45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 an eighth-grader without ever really learning how to read.

After school, you could always find them on the school basketball court, sweat dripping from their foreheads as the sun dipped low. Peter had a natural talent for shooting hoops, while Oliver struggled a little with his dribbling(运球). Though Oliver didn't play as well as Peter, he was a warm-hearted child willing to accept others' opinions. The basketball court often witnessed their laughter mixed with the sound of the ball bouncing on the concrete. A piece of exciting news came one day: the school would attend a youth basketball tournament of the city. All boys buzzed with excitement. Almost every one of them wanted to join the school team, and Peter and Oliver wanted it more than anyone else. "Imagine us playing together on the court, representing our school!" Peter said one day, grinning. Oliver's eyes lit up. From that day on, they trained even harder. They woke up early to practice before school, worked on passing drills during lunch breaks, and stayed late to perfect their shots. Oliver's skills got better, but he still looked up to Peter. The day the school team list was announced finally arrived. Everyone sat on the edge of their seats, waiting for the headmaster, Mr. Lee, to speak. Peter sat up straight, confident he'd make it. But Oliver's hands were shaking, and he stared at his desk, too nervous to look up. Peter gently nudged(轻推) him. "Don't worry," he whispered. "We're both getting in. I know it." Mr. Lee started reading the names: "Tom, Jake, Sam, ... Peter." A big smile spread across Peter's face. He turned to high-five Oliver, only to see Oliver's pale face. Mr. Lee finished the list, and Oliver's name wasn't there. Oliver's shoulders slumped (耷拉着), and he stared out the window, blinking hard to hold back tears. After Mr. Lee left, Oliver dashed out of the room. 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。 Peter ran after Oliver, trying to comfort him. The match day saw Oliver sitting beside the court, happily watching. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
