2025一2026学年度高二学科素养周测评（二） 英语·选择性必修二Unit2 (本试卷总分100分，考试时间40分钟。) 第一部分阅读（共8小题；每小题5分，满分40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 It was 1963 in the Toronto suburb.I was eight years old and hockey ()-crazy. My next-to-zero skills had not stopped my passion for the game.The players of the great hockey club Toronto Maple Leafs were of course my heroes,and their posters and photos covered the walls of my room. There is always some price to pay for maintaining a love.I raised funds in an old- fashioned way,selling something the public could actually sink their teeth into.I joined the local annual event一Margaret's Doughnuts(甜甜圈)to sell doughnuts,which offered choices of honey-glazed or chocolate-glazed. Door to door I went,notebook in hand to record.I sold dozens of dozens;hardly a soul turned me down.My notebook was almost full,and my stomach was almost empty when I went up the last house on the south side. I rang the doorbell and went over my speech while staring at the screen door. Suddenly,the door opened.My unforgettable memory was looking up from a large pair of fuzzy slippers,way up,to the face staring down.I stood there speechless for what seemed 10 years,opening and closing my mouth like a fish out of water.Collecting my calmness, but still unable to go into doughnut-promoting overdrive,I told him something he seemed to have already known and he replied with a nod and a smile. I have an unclear memory of murmuring through my speech "Please-buy-some- doughnuts",and then a vivid memory of him taking the notebook from my hand.I followed with new information-that we shared our given name.With pride from our first- name-basis farewells,I flew home holding the notebook tightly to my chest. The next morning before the school bell,I cautiously showed off the precious paper. It is surely mine alone to claim:I sold a dozen doughnuts to Tim Horton,one of my most respected players who lived a mere three blocks away! 1.What can we know about the author? A.He joined Toronto Maple Leafs as a young child. B.He obtained posters and photos from a star team. C.He was not much of an experienced hockey player. D.His love for hockey was influenced by a star team. 高二学科素养周测评（二）英语第1页（共4页） 真题 Never say die. 2.Why did the author sell doughnuts? 班级 A.To follow the fashion. B.To pursue his hobby. C.To taste more flavors. D.To respond to an event. 3.What happened to the author when he met the owner of the last house? 姓名 A.He was so speechless with astonishment. B.He was looked down upon by the owner. 得分 C.He was scared by the owner's appearance. D.He forgot his speech for selling doughnuts. 4.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.A Successful Sale Promotion of Doughnuts B.An Amazing Journey to Following My Dream C.A Grateful Doughnut Helping Awaken My Dream D.An Unexpected Meeting with My Favorite Hockey B In recent years,China has witnessed the growth of luxury()brands.In this market,Chinese consumers are now the largest spenders.It's clear that a new generation of young,materialistic people is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self- image.I am a fashionist too,at least in spirit-I love to look at clothes and shoes.But I don't understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels.When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary,that's a scary thing. What's interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesn't lead to happiness.Study after study has shown that although we want material things,when we get them we don't suddenly become "happy"people.In fact,a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado,US,has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things.That's because experiences are more easily combined with a person's identity.If I travel to Yunnan,that adventure affects how I think in the future.My memories become a part of me. Moreover,as Van Boven has observed,young people who pursue happiness through "things"are liked less by their peers.People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences. It's natural to want to express yourself through your appearance.So my advice is: create a look that isn't tied to a designer label.Convey your own message.Take some lessons from the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck.Mark Zuckerberg,founder of Facebook,routinely appears in hoodies and sneakers.These people,successful people,have style.You don't have to break the bank to send a message about who you are.Take a trip.Go out into the world.Then come back and confidently create your own signature look. 密卷 高二学科素养周测评（二）英语第2页（共4页） WY 5.What can we infer from the first paragraph? A.The author enjoys buying luxury brands herself. B.The author agrees to overspend money on material things. C.The author is critical of youths tying their looks to designer labels. D.The author finds it natural for fashionists to follow fashion trends. 6.What did Leaf Van Boven's studies show? A.People dislike those who love luxuries. B.Traveling changes a person's identity greatly. C.Luxuries have a negative effect on people's happiness. D.Experiences can bring people more happiness than luxuries. 7.What is the author's advice on expressing oneself? A.Be selective about designer labels. B.Try styles like Mark Zuckerberg's. C.Create your own personal unique style.D.Choose simple and fashionable styles. 8.What is the main purpose of the article? A.To prove how luxury leads to an unpleasant life. B.To tell how to express yourself through appearances. C.To report on a series of studies about luxuries and happiness. D.To persuade readers to invest in experiences instead of luxuries. 第二部分语言运用（共两节，满分60分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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。 It is hard for Jessica Hepburn to point out the exact moment she decided to climb to the top of the world.Previous 9 include swimming the English Channel and running the London marathon."There's nothing I enjoy about swimming,running or mountain 10 other than it gives me a license to eat and drink on the sofa,she says.
