Yours sincerely, Li Hua    With mixed feelings, I finally picked up the phone. With butterflies in my stomach, I dialed the telephone number. Secretly I prayed no one would answer, but someone did. The voice on the other end was that of a young woman. After describing the dog to her in detail, she immediately wanted to come over. I said that my daughters love it very much and meanwhile apologized for not having contacted her a few days before. 30 minutes later, the bell rang and Molly was barking. I opened the door, forcing myself to face it. I asked the woman to come in and she quickly bent over and hugged Molly tightly. Molly started wagging its tail and barking excitedly as if it had recognized someone familiar. Surprised and excited, the woman told me that she couldn’t sleep well without it and thanked us for keeping her dog for these days. She offered to give me some cash as a reward, but I refused. After she took Molly away, I cracked a smile. I knew I had done the right thing―that puppy was exactly where she belonged． 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $2025-2026学年度上学期12月月考 高二英语试题 全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟 第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节供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，并标在试 卷的相应位置。 1.Where is the hairdryer?

B One January evening in 2008,Rachel Lapierre bought a $4 lottery ticket (at the grocery store.As a nearly full-time emergency-room nurse and part-time volunteer aid worker, after an exhausting day cutting sugar maples,she needed something to lift her spirits.For years,Lapierre had done humanitarian work overseas for organizations and she longed to be able to one day quit her nursing job and focus on the volunteer work she found most fulfilling. (令人满足的) She swore to herself that if she ever won the lottery,that's what she would do.Lapierre went home and scratched her ticket,revealing three sunny faces.Not sure what they meant, she took it to a corner store,where the ticket-checking machine went berserk but didn't reveal the prize.The next day,the lottery office informed her that she had won a lump sum of $6,75,000 or $1,000 a week for life.She chose the latter."I know myself,"she says."The lump sum would have melted like snow in the sun." Staying true to her word,Lapierre quit her nursing job and dedicated her life to helping others through her passion project,Le Book Humanitaire,which has since become a registered charity.LeBook,as Lapierre,now 62,affectionately calls it,began as a simple list of good deeds she jotted down (in a black-and-white notebook.She had been using it to keep 高二英语共12页第4页 track of what she had done to help those living in the small communities around her. To her,the deeds were just small acts of kindness that any one else might have done.But word started spreading,her phone began ringing and a Facebook page she created for the project became an efficient way to field requests from those in need and those who wanted to help Le Book Humanitaire now has a team of 80 volunteers.The non-profit provides local emergency support,homeless and medical out-reach,food delivery for seniors and a community fridge.Its kitchen volunteers make about 500 meals a day,with all food donated from local restaurants,hospitals and schools. The book itself?It has since been replaced by dozens more,representing millions of deeds.In2022 alone,the organization carried out nearly 4,50,000 acts of service. 24.What can we infer from the first two paragraphs? A.Lapierre chose a lump sum of $6,75,000. B.Lapierre loved her full-time job very much. C.Lapierre knew the meaning of three sunny faces at first. D.Lapierre didn't think she would spend a large amount of money wisely. 25.What is Le Book Humanitaire? A.It is a notebook. B.It is a Facebook page. C.It is a non-profit charity. D.It is run by local communities. 26.Which of the following is true about the project? A.It conducted 45000 acts of service in all. B.It provided everything a community needed. C.It relied on local donations to provide meals D.It was just about small acts of kindness for anyone else. 27.Which words can best describe Lapierre? A.Greedy and close-minded B.Courageous and easy-going. C.Humorous and self-disciplined. D.Determined and tender-hearted. C During a job interview,you're so nervous that it's hard to think.And afterwards,when someone asks you how it goes,you actually can't remember.You might feel that you're losing your memory,but according to Dr Ira Fischler,this "blackout is probably not a loss of memory at all.It's more likely that you didn't even have the memory in the first place. 高二英语共12页第5页 Fischler is a professor of psychology at the University of Florida."When memories of specific emotional events appear to be lost,it's most often because our attention during the event is not on the interaction itself,"he told Global News.Instead,it's common for a person to be engrossed in how they present themselves or their inner emotional state during the interaction-especially at the stressful moments.This would explain why some people struggle to recall the questions asked during a job interview,for example.They are instead concentrating their attention on how they're presenting themselves to the employers at that moment. When we're in a situation that causes nervousness or anxiety,a"fight or flight"reaction is caused,which sends certain hormones(荷尔蒙)out into the body.“It can cause several side effects,like feeling light-headed and dizzy and affect the way our brain remembers situations that we've been in,"said psychologist Laura Bloom.She thinks of the hippocampus (海马结构)，a part of the brain responsible for memory,.as the brain's library and each memory as a card with all the information about what happened on it. “When something stressful happens,the experience of trauma(精神创伤)causes our brain not necessarily to keep all of the details properly,"she said "Therefore,it will be extremely important and beneficial for you to replace the fight or flight'response with calmer and more peaceful approaches." 28.What does the first paragraph serve as? A.Abackground.B.A comment. C.An explanation.D.An introduction. 29.Which can replace the underlined part"be engrossed in"in Paragraph 2? A.Work out.B.Focus on C.Make for. D.Go over. 30.What is the author probably going to discuss next? A.Tips on dealing with stressful events. B.Harm of the"fight or flight"response. C.Things that affect people's memory. D.The importance of details to the brain. 31.What is the best title of the text? A.How Senses Affect Your Memory B.How Your Body Responds to Stress C.Why You May Lose Memory Under Stress D.Why Your Brain Occasionally Fails to Learn 高二英语共12页第6页 D Is forgiveness against our human nature?To answer our question,we need to ask a further question:What is the essence of our humanity?For the sake of simplicity,people consider two distinctly different views of humanity. The first view involves dominance (and power.In an early paper on the psychology of forgiveness,Droll (1984)made the interesting claim that humans'essential nature is more aggressive than forgiving allows.Those who forgive are against their basic nature,much to their harm.In his opinion,forgivers are compromising (their well-being as they offer mercy to others,who might then take advantage of them. The second view involves the theme of cooperation,mutual respect,and even love as the basis of who we are as humans.Researchers find that to fully grow as human beings,we need both to receive love from and offer love to others.Without love,our connections with a wide range of individuals in our lives can fall apart.Even common sense strongly suggests that the will to power over others does not make for harmonious interactions.For example,how well has slavery worked as a mode of social harmony? From this second viewpoint of who we are as humans,forgiveness plays a key role in the biological and psychological integrity of both individuals and communities because one of the outcomes of forgiveness,shown through scientific studies,is the decreasing of hate and the restoration of harmony.Forgiveness can break the cycle of anger.At least to the extent the people from whom you are estranged (accept your love and forgiveness and are prepared to make the required adjustments.Forgiveness can heal relationships and reconnect people. As an important note,when we take a classical philosophical perspective,we see the distinction between potentiality and actuality.We are not necessarily born with the capacity to forgive,but instead with the potential to learn about it and to grow in our ability to forgive. The actuality of forgiving,in real situations,develops with practice. 32.What is Droll's idea about forgiveness? A.People should offer mercy to others. B.Aggressive people should learn to forgive. C.Forgiveness depends on the nature of humanity. D.People who forgive can have their own welfare affected. 高二英语共12页第7页 33.What does the example in Paragraph 3 illustrate? A.To fight is to grow. B.To give is to receive. C.To forgive is to abuse. D.To dominate is to harm. 34.What is the writer's attitude toward forgiveness? A.Favorable.B.Opposed. C.Indifferent D.Skeptical. 35.What message does the last paragraph convey? A.Forgiveness is in our nature. B.Forgiveness grows with time. C.It takes practice to forgive. D.Actuality is based on potentiality. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Ways to Boost Your Energy Are you sleepy as the afternoon wears on?When low energy drags you down,don't look to a candy bar,a cup of coffee,or an energy drink for a lift.The sugar and caffeine might give you an immediate pick-me-up,but after that quick high wears off,you'll crash and feel even more tired.36 Here are some ways. Let the sunshine in. Research suggests that just a few minutes of walking outside on a warm,clear day may enhance mood,memory,and the ability to absorb new information.Going outside can even improve your self-esteem.37 Chew a piece of sugar-free gum. It's not exactly clear why,but numerous studies have shown that chewing gum increases attentiveness.Even before science confirmed it,during World War I,American soldiers were issued gum to help them focus. 38 When you're stressed,it's natural to breathe shallowly,which can decrease the amount of oxygen that reaches cells.To counteract (that,try breathing in through your nose for four seconds,holding your breath for four seconds,and then slowly breathing out for four seconds.

You don't necessarily have to follow the "eight glasses a day"rule.But you do want to drink enough water to keep your body functioning well.39 The walk there will also help you wake up. 高二英语共12页第8页 Belt out your favorite tune. 40 So grab a hairbrush,put on your favorite song,and sing away.If you're at work and don't want to face others'puzzled stares,you might want to save your beautiful voice for the car.

Although my mom is unable to participate in these as he did in the past, SHE still enjoys the simple things, holding hands, watching TV shows and taking short walks outside. I used to talk about everything with my mom, but now my conversations with my mom are always short, like last week. 第二节到此结束。 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Where is the hairdryer? A. In the bedroom. B.

M: I’d been running my father’s plastic component business, and we were producing make-up cases -- eye shadow, lipstick and so on. I thought I would take it as far as I could, but I was bored from the very beginning. W: What gave you the idea for Cliche? M: I was at a wedding party, sitting in a corner toying with plastic drinking straws on my table. I pieced them together and managed to build a toy with them. I realized that with the right structure I could build some impressive new toys. W: How did you plan to get started then? M: My initial idea was to sell the concept to a big toy company, so they could make and sell it. After the model was ready, I tried to convince a big manufacturer, but unexpectedly, they agreed to develop it with me collectively. And that saved me a lot of trouble. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. When did the speaker’s mother build a shelter for children? A. In 2005. B. In 2006. C. In 2007. 18.
