D.￡2.200 B For a number of people,visiting the dentist for regular check-ups is totally common.However,for countless individuals across the globe一particularly those living in impoverished(贫困t的)areas-一getting dental care and having their teeth examined simply isn't possible.Felipe Rossi,a dentist from Brazil,has devoted himself to helping turn this situation around. Growing up in USA,Felipe Rossi had just obtained the Bachelor of Medicine Degree and was about to start a master's degree in Pediatric Dentistry(儿童口腔学)when a journey to his father's home一Balsabo in Brazil changed his initial plan."All locals didn't have access to dental care,and consequently,many of them had misshapen teeth or even lost some teeth,leading to many people not daring to laugh with mouth open."Felipe Rossi recalled."A desire was planted in my heart.That is,to use my skills to bring healthy smiles to people suffering from dental problems." With the support of his parents,Felipe formed an NGO (non-government organization)called Porsorriso to give free oral treatments to individuals with low incomes who require cleaning,fillings,crowns,restoration work and more.His team consists of approximately 30 registered volunteers who go with him to poor towns and villages in Brazil. Sponsorship is generally provided by two private companies.Individuals may also make donations through the 'Smile Solidarity'program,where they can choose monthly amounts to contribute.Porsorriso also holds regular fundraisers to afford the cost of providing free dental services around the country. As noble as its objective is,Felipe admits that Porsorriso is"struggling to survive"because of the huge cost of providing dental work and the constant fundraising events they have to hold to keep the NGO in normal functioning."Challenging as it is,it did bring healthy teeth as well as renewed confidence to the locals.We will continue this transformative act whatever difficulties we will face".Felipe said with a strong will. 第4页共10页 24.How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A.By posing a contrast B.By reporting an event. C.By assuming a situation. D.By making an appeal. 25.What inspired Felipe to offer dental treatments to Brazilians? A.His parents'encouragement B.His enthusiasm for dentistry C.His academic training in the USA. D.His experience in Brazil. 26.What do we know about Porsorriso? A.It gives free oral treatments to anyone in need B.It is cooperated by Felipe Rossi and the local authority. C.It is financially supported by corporations and individuals. D.It holds regular fundraisers to educate people about dental care. 27.Which of the following can best describe Felipe Rossi? A.ambitious and faithful B.creative and intelligent C.energetic and strong-willed D.determined and kind-hearted ⊙ A study published on Monday in The Annals of Internal Medicine led researchers to conclude that drinking a cup of coffee in the morning could be linked to a lower risk of death.Those who consumed 1.5 to 3.5 cups of coffee per day,even with a teaspoon of sugar,were up to 30 percent less likely to die during the study period than those who didn't drink coffee.Those who preferred unsweetened coffee were 16 to 21 percent less likely to die during the study period,with those drinking about three cups per day having the lowest risk of death when compared with non-coffee drinkers. The U.K.Biobank,a large-scale medical database with health data from people all over Britain,provided the researchers with data on coffee consumption.The team then analyzed this data,as well as demographic data, lifestyle details,and dietary patterns collected from more than 170,000 participants aged 37 to 73 over a median follow-up period of seven years.The researchers found the risk of dying remained lower for people who drank both decaffeinated(不含咖啡因的)and caffeinated coffee. "It's huge.There are very few things that reduce your risk of dying by 30 percent,"said Dr.Christina Wee,an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. There are,however,major caveats to interpreting this research,she added.This is an observational study, which means the data cannot conclusively prove that coffee itself lowers the risk of dying;there may be other lifestyle factors contributing to that lower risk of dying among people who drink coffee,like a healthy diet or a consistent exercise routine. Despite the encouraging evidence about coffee,there isn't enough data to suggest that people who don't currently drink coffee should add a stop to Starbucks during their morning routines,Dr.Wee said.And even keen coffee drinkers shouldn't use the study to justify endless cups of coffee.The study showed that the benefits of coffee reduced for people who drank more than 4.5 cups of coffee each day.Past studies have shown that consuming"extreme amounts"-over seven cups per day-can lead to adverse effects,she said. 第5页共10页 28.Which of the following is a finding of the study? A.Decaffeinated coffee doesn't help reduce death risk. B.Having moderate coffee intake may cut the death risk. C.Adding sugar to coffee may take away its good effects. D.Non-coffee drinkers tend to live longer than coffee lovers 29.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A.What amount of coffee brought the greatest benefit. B.How the study on coffee and death risk was conducted C.How different coffee types influenced human health. D.Which age groups gained the most from coffee drinking. 30.Which of the following words can replace the underlined word"caveats"in paragraph 4? A.Applications. B.Expansions. C.Foundations. D.Limitations. 31.What is Dr.Wee's attitude towards coffee consumption? A.Cautious B.Negative. C.Critical. D.Approving D In 2024,Nobel committees acknowledged the revolutionary impact of artificial intelligence (Al)through two of their awards一honoring pioneers of neural(神经系统的)networks with the physics prize,and recognizing the developers of computational tools to study and design proteins in the chemistry prize.But not all researchers are happy. Several physicists argued that the science underlying machine learning was not actually physics."I like machine learning and artificial neural networks as much as other people,yet it's hard to consider this a physics-related discovery."Jonathan Pritchard,an astrophysicist at Imperial College London. Not everyone was troubled,however."Hopfield and Hinton's research brought together physics,math, computer science and neuroscience,"said Matt Strassler,a theoretical physicist at Harvard University,"In that sense,it belongs to all of these fields."Anil Ananthaswamy,a science writer based in Berkeley,pointed out that although the research cited by the Nobel committee might not be theoretical physics in the purest sense,it is rooted in techniques and concepts from physics,such as energy.But Anil also added,the connection with physics became more delicate in upcoming developments in machine learning,particularly in techniques that made neural networks easier to train. Computer science seemed to be completing its Nobel takeover the day after the physics prize announcement, when Demis Hassabis and John Jumper won half of the chemistry Nobel.The prize was a recognition of the innovative force of AI as well as the steady gathering of knowledge in structural and computational biology."It wasn't just that we went to work,pressed the AI button,and then all went home,"Jumper said."It was really an iterative (process where we developed,we did research,we tried to find the right kind of combinations between what the community understood about proteins and how we build those insights into our architecture." Since they were first awarded in 1901,the Nobels have often highlighted the impact of research on society, and have rewarded practical inventions,not only pure science.In this respect,this year's prizes are no exception. 第6页共10页 32.How did Jonathan Pritchard react to this year's Nobel Prize in Physics? A.He praised the organizers. B.He doubted the discovery C.He congratulated the winners. D.He questioned the classification. 33.What can we learn from paragraph 3? A.The role of physics in machine learning is becoming stronger. B.The Nobel committee focused only on theoretical physics this year. C.Hopfield and Hinton's work bridges several scientific disciplines. D.The future developments in machine learning will completely remove physics. 34.What did Jumper owe their achievement to? A.The AI-powered iterative research. B.The innovative research in architecture. C.The community-driven research process.D.The use of AI research for quick answers 35.What does the passage mainly talk about? A.Who won this year's Nobels using AI? B.How do this year's Nobels reflect AI's role? C.Why are scientists against this year's Nobels? D.What's the outcome of this year's Nobels debate? 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下列短文，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。 Have you ever noticed that some people seem to climb the career ladder (effortlessly,while others struggle to get their foot on the first step?36 Often,it's about the Matthew Effect:the idea that initial success can create a snowball effect,making future success easier to achieve.Understanding how it works can help you make use of it to your advantage. 37 Think of yourself as a young designer who lands an important customer early on.That one project,if handled well,opens the door to bigger opportunities and a growing collection of impressive work.38 When your manager sees you do well in the first place,they're more likely to trust you with bigger responsibilities. Being noticed is crucial to the Matthew Effect.39 If you are an employee who consistently delivers outstanding work but doesn't share that,you may be overshadowed by a coworker who's just as competent but better at self-promotion.Consider the example of a mid-level marketing manager.By regularly presenting their team's results at company meetings,they ensure leadership connects their name with success.This visibility can lead to opportunities like promotions,speaking chances,or even being invited to work by other companies. Another key driver of the Matthew Effect is the power of networks.People with strong professional networks are often exposed to more opportunities than those with limited connections.Psychologically,people tend to associate success with competence.40This is why networking isn't just about meeting people-it's about creating meaningful relationships that lead to trust and mutual )benefit. A.Being noticed contributes to the interaction with famous people. B.It's not always about talent or hard work-though both are vital C.More clients want to work with you when you're already successful. D.If people don't know about your achievements,it's hard to get more success. 第7页共10页 E.The first big break in your career often sets the stage for everything that follows. F.Early recognition builds confidence-not just in the people around you,but in yourself. G.If you're recommended by someone respected in your field,the recommendation carries weight. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 At the age of 11,I was given a job as a cotton 41 at my father's factory.I knew cotton,but I was well conscious that my father was giving an 11-year-old a duty involving great 42.

"Hello,Russell.Could you come to my house after school tomorrow?" "Of course,no problem,"Russell replied,turning his head as he spoke. The moment he realized it was Mrs White,he wished he hadn't said yes.But it was too late-she had already left. The Whites had just moved into the apartment on the ground floor,and the neighbors felt a bit uneasy around them.In fact,from the very first day,Mrs White had complained about Russell and his friends playing too close to her window. The next afternoon,Russell gathered his courage,knocked on her door,and waited nervously.When Mrs White finally appeared,Russell was surprised by her tanned skin and neatly tied white hair.Don't be afraid.I'm old,but not a witch (),she said with a light laugh.Russell smiled awkwardly and stepped inside. The walls of the apartment were covered with photographs.In one picture,a lovely girl stood in front of the Pantheon in Rome."That's my granddaughter,Cathy,"Mrs White said softly.In the small living room,Mr White sat in a rocking chair,reading his newspaper."Please take off your shoes,young man,"he said kindly.Russell quickly took off his sneakers. As Russell sat down,Mrs White came out of the kitchen carrying a big cake topped with bright strawberries. "I made this for you,"she said,setting it on the table.Russell's eyes opened wide in surprise."I didn't know she could bake,"he thought.Mrs White cut him a piece."Thank you,"Russell said shyly as he took a bite.It tasted wonderful. After a short silence,Mrs White spoke again."You know,Cathy spends a lot of time here because her parents work in Italy.She's very sick,and the doctors say she should rest as much as possible."She paused for a moment, then added,"Russell,since you're the leader of your group,could you and your friends play somewhere else? 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右： (2)请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 第9页共10页 Before Russell could say a word,a pale and weak girl appeared at the doorway The following day,Russell told his friends what had happened. 第10页共10页 合肥六中2025-2026学年上学期高二期中教学质量检测 英语参考答案 第一部分 听力 1~5 CACBC 6~10 ABCAC 11~15 ACBAC 16~20 ABBAB 第二部分 阅读 21-23 CDC 24-27 ADCD 28-31 BBDA 32-35 DCAB 36-40 BECDG 第三部分 语言应用 第一节 41-45 BACDB 46-50 ACDBA 51-55 CDBAC 第二节 56. which 57. an 58. reflecting 59. depth 60. beyond 61. is awakened 62. to perfect 63. artistically 64. and 65. presented 第四部分 写作 第一节 Dear Chris, I hope you are doing well. Our school sports meet was held last week, and I challenged myself by running the 1500 meters. The race was a test of both speed and endurance. After the first lap, I felt very tired and wanted to give up. But hearing my classmates cheering for me, I gathered my strength and kept going. I finally crossed the finish line, not in first place, but I completed the race. This experience made me understand the power of perseverance and encouragement. Sometimes, success is not just about winning, but about having the courage to finish what you started. The support from my friends was the most valuable thing I gained. Have you ever participated in any sport ? Looking forward to your reply. Yours, Li Hua 第二节 Before Russell could say a word, a pale and weak girl appeared at the doorway. Her face was thin, but her eyes shone with warmth. “Hi, I’m Cathy,” she said softly. “I often hear you laughing outside. It sounds so lively.” Russell blushed, realizing their noise might have disturbed her. “I’m sorry if we were too loud,” he said quickly. Cathy smiled faintly. “Don’t be. Your laughter reminds me that life is still beautiful.” Her gentle words touched Russell deeply. Before leaving, he promised Mrs White, “We’ll play somewhere else, and maybe visit Cathy when she feels better.” The following day, Russell told his friends what had happened. At first, they were disappointed, but soon they understood. “If we can’t skate there, maybe we can still bring her joy,” one suggested. That afternoon, they decorated the small garden below Cathy’s window with flowers and colorful ribbons. When Cathy looked out, the garden was glowing in the sunset, full of kindness and care. From then on, Russell and his friends often waved to her before skating away, learning that real happiness comes not from noise, but from a warm and thoughtful heart. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
