B In Hazelwood, a group called Seedlings (幼苗) for Tomorrow gives every child three plants to grow in their own garden. Unlike a public park, these plants are theirs to keep forever. Kids “check out” at the city’s greenhouse not with money, but by joining the group’s Garden Buddy project. This project pairs each young gardener with an adult guide. They have a 45-minute virtual meeting each week to learn about gardening and nature. “Every kid should feel the joy of growing something with their own hands,” said Orson Pike, the project director. Orson started the non-profit organization Seedlings for Tomorrow in 2022. Soon he realized that just giving away plants wasn’t enough. “Some groups think dropping off supplies is helping. But if people don’t know how to use them, it’s like giving them a stone,” he explained. That’s why the program focuses on teaching skills — like how to water plants properly, what seasons are best for planting, and how to protect flowers from insects. At the greenhouse, children can pick from sunflowers, strawberries, lavender, and even small vegetable kits. There are guidebooks in both English and Welsh. Orson is already 70, but he’s always been enthusiastic about the growth of the next generation. He believes that by letting kids choose what they love, they’ll grow into passionate gardeners. Many kids even share their progress with classmates, making gardening a social activity. To attract more families, Seedlings for Tomorrow visits local primary schools and community centers. Orson also hopes to build small green stations around town where people can exchange seeds and gardening tips. The project has received $20,000 from the UK-based Ecology Fund. The fund manager Elara Vane said, “Such programs are essential— they teach patience, responsibility and love for the environment, which helps kids both in and out of school,” adding that parents have noticed their children becoming more confident since joining the project. 4. What can a kid do by joining Garden Buddy project? A. Volunteer at the city’s greenhouse. B. Acquire gardening knowledge online. C. Sell garden plants to the adult guide. D. Receive free three plants every week. 5. What philosophy does Orson’s project demonstrate? A. Hard work is the mother of success. B. Guide others, and you will learn twice. C. Teach a man to fish, not give him a fish. D. Creative activities involve being confident. 6. How does the author highlight the project’s value in the last paragraph? A. By quoting an official. B. By giving examples. C. By providing statistics. D. By making a comparison. 7. Which word best describes Orson? A. Adventurous. B. Determined. C. Caring. D. Flexible. C Who is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries. Let’s state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they? In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It’s said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others. A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn’t take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not. Here’s the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we’re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.” 8. What does the author think of victors’ standards for joining the genius club? A. They’re unfair. B. They’re conservative. C. They’re objective. D. They’re strict. 9 What can we infer about girls from the study in Science? A. They think themselves smart. B. They look up to great thinkers. C. They see gender differences earlier than boys. D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs 10. Why are more geniuses known to the public? A. Improved global communication. B. Less discrimination against women. C. Acceptance of victors’ concepts. D Changes in people’s social positions. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Geniuses Think Alike B. Genius Takes Many Forms C. Genius and Intelligence D. Genius and Luck D If you ask a Westerner to name a successful Chinese consumer-goods brand, most would have struggled until recently. Although China is the world’s leading manufacturing power, it has long fallen behind in creating imaginative, home-grown retail (零售) brands and products. That, however, is beginning to change. Innovative Chinese brands are appearing everywhere. From Stockholm to Sydney, the electric cars silently passing by are increasingly likely to be Chinese. Mixue, an ice-cream and cold drinks company, has overtaken McDonald’s to become the world’s largest fast-food chain by number of outlets. It is expanding in South America, as is Meituan, a Beijing-based delivery app. Chagee, a chain of tea shops, is on track to have at least 1, 300 stores outside China by the end of 2027, mostly in Southeast Asia; just a few years ago, it had almost none. Meanwhile, Pop Mart, a Chinese toy company, has created a buzz as much as Disney with its unusual grinning nine-toothed dolls, called Labubus. It is impossible not to admire the creative force behind these successful enterprises. Western consumers have been buying products made in China for decades. However, these goods were mostly designed by and produced for foreign companies. Chinese brands were long regarded as low-quality and lacking creativity. New companies are now challenging these old assumptions. Many proudly emphasize their Chinese heritage. For example, Chagee’s logo features a Peking Opera singer in full costume, and its name comes from “Farewell, My Concubine,” a classic Chinese opera. The video game “Black Myth: Wukong,” one of the most successful ever, features the Monkey King from the 16th-century novel Journey to the West. Today, many Chinese brands compete not only on price but also on quality. Chagee’s drinks can even be as expensive as Starbucks’. Western companies will need to wake up and take notice of bubble tea. In the future, they will have to make more efforts to understand Chinese consumers’ unique tastes. Some may even partner with innovative Chinese firms to gain insight and inspiration. Competition from China could eventually push Disney, Mattel toys, and other major Western brands to reach new levels of creativity. 12. What does the underlined part “created a buzz” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Caused public excitement. B. Made a loud noise. C. Lost great popularity. D. Received negative comments. 13. How did the western consumers find Chinese brands? A. Full of imagination. B. Short of creativity. C. Quality guaranteed. D. Mass produced. 14. What is the author’s advice for the western brands? A. Notice different bubble tea. B. Ignore the Chinese influence. C. Cooperate with Chinese brands. D. Lower the price of the products. 15. What is the passage mainly about? A. The history of Chinese retail brands. B. How foreign firms win Chinese customers. C. Why Chinese products were unpopular before. D. The rise of innovative Chinese brands globally. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 Throughout our lives, we usually look for just one answer to each question we encounter, like when we ask what 2+2 equals or what the capital of India is. ____16____ The “one-problem, one-answer” mindset is deeply rooted in how we think. But what happens if we’re asked to generate different responses instead of one correct answer? ____17____ I asked them, “What if there is more than one way to record the answer to 2+2?” They voiced varied answers, such as ½ of 8, how Lincoln began “The Gettysburg Address”, the number of runners on a relay team, and the number following 3, etc. These kids weren’t “boxed in” by the artificial “requirement” of finding a single right answer. Rather, they were asked a question beginning with the two words “What if……?” ____18____ What lies behind the issue then? Ken Robinson has observed that our educational systems often don't help students develop their natural creativity. ____19____ Studies have shown that teachers claim to value qualities of independent thinking and curiosity, yet they reward behaviors of obedience. Thus, a workforce emerges that prioritizes conformity(顺从) over creativity. Simply stated, we tell students to color inside the lines and then expect adults to think outside the box. ____20____ Ask open-ended questions more often to encourage students to explore different ways of thinking. On top of this, a safe environment should be created where students feel comfortable taking risks and making mistakes. By doing so, students are better equipped to face complex problems with greater flexibility and innovation in the future. A. Avoiding risks is a natural tendency. B. However, they have the potential to succeed. C. To find out, I approached a group of fourth-graders. D. Instead, they promote uniformity and standardization. E. The results, as you can see, were diverse and inventive. F. Seldom do we consider the possibility of multiple answers. G. It’s time to break free from the “single right answer” mindset. 第三部分 英语知识运用 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后从41～55各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 When our daughter asked us to take her on an adventure, I immediately thought of a piece of advice from a friend. He ____21____ taking children “to the wildest spaces they can find”. I had no idea at all about that. Nevertheless, after ____22____ our essentials, we drove a car and began our ____23____ travel. Soon we entered the scenic countryside, and my daughter’s excitement filled the air. Suddenly, we found a cave. Feeling ____24____, we decided to explore further. With the help of flashlights, we ____25____ it with great caution. Inside, the cave opened up, revealing a breathtaking underground world. Surprised at the natural beauty, we determined to make the most of this ____26____ find. As we walked along the side of the cave, we were greeted by ____27____ rock. When we continued, a dim (暗淡的) light ____28____ ahead, accompanied by unsettling sounds. My daughter grabbed my hand as we ____29____, unsure whether to continue. However, after a moment of inner struggle, we cheered ourselves up and ____30____ on towards the light. When we emerged from the cave, a ____31____ came into our sight. The unsettling sounds we had heard were just the wind rustling the leaves. Listening to the birds’ ____32____, we took in the beauty of nature. It was an obvious ____33____ that sometimes, exploring the unknown can lead to astonishing ____34____. This adventurous trip of conquering fear had also ____35____ us to a place beyond our imagination, creating memories that would last a lifetime. 21. A. imagined B. kept C. admitted D. suggested 22.

I should add that we’re not allowed to call her Gran, because she says it makes her feel old. That summer, I lost my job and felt hopeless and down all the time. One day, I paid a visit to her. She picked up a box which she placed on the coffee table. “There you go,” she said. “You do know what you’re doing with these things, don’t you?” It was a new phone. Her current mobile was pretty ancient. I was amazed it was still going. “Yes,” I said. “Good. That’s why I ask you. You young people know more about such things than us oldies. You can take it home with you and get it all set up,” she went on. “Then, when you bring it back, you can show me how to use my new phone, such as getting on the Internet, sending e-mails and so on.” She smiled so sweetly that I felt a surge of love for her. I grabbed the box and stood up. Setting up the phone was easy. It was teaching her how to use it that proved challenging. The following day I headed back to my great-grandmother’s with the phone. “Here’s your phone. It’s all ready to use.” For the following hours, I was busy setting up her passcode and fingerprint recognition, which she said was like something out of James Bond. She chose a picture for her screen and it was all going so well until I tried to show her how to swipe(滑动屏幕). “What do you mean, swipe?” she asked. She was 92, I reminded myself. This had been tiring for her. She pressed at the screen and got annoyed when nothing happened. When I finally got her to swipe, she didn’t put the right amount of pressure and the menu slipped away. After what seemed like hours, she threw the phone across the room and it landed on the sofa. “Take it away!” she cried. “I want my old phone back!” I was about to leave to give her time to cool down when I realized I didn’t want to go home while she was angry and upset. 注意： 1. 续写词数总计为100词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Come on, Eileen. One more try.” I said. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The thrill never faded. Over the next few weeks, Eileen kept on practicing her new phone and experimenting with every possible new app. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 成都石室中学2025—2026学年度上期高2027届半期考试 英语试卷 考试时间：120分钟，总分：150分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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。 1.

I spent the first two days helping at a local community farm, where I learned to pick fresh fruits and feed livestock with other volunteers. On the last two days, I accompanied my grandparents to a nearby park, as they had long wanted to enjoy the autumn scenery. We walked along the maple-lined paths and took many photos, which filled our hearts with warmth. This break taught me that true reward comes from both helping others and cherishing family time, making it unforgettable. 第二节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】 “Come on, Eileen. One more try.” I said. I retrieved the phone carefully from the soft sofa, then pulled a small stool to sit right beside her and gently took her wrinkled, trembling hand in mine. I guided her index finger to glide slowly across the screen, repeating “swipe gently, don’t press too hard” in a soft, patient tone. After two clumsy but earnest failed attempts, the bright menu interface finally popped up on the screen. Her eyes lit up instantly like a kid who got a favorite candy, and a big, proud grin spread across her face, completely erasing all signs of her earlier frustration and annoyance.​ The thrill never faded. Over the next few weeks, Eileen kept on practicing her new phone and experimenting with every possible new app. She even mastered video calls and sent me funny garden photos daily. Seeing her enthusiasm, my own hopelessness faded away. I started sending job applications again, inspired by her courage to embrace new things at 92. Soon, I got an interview offer, and the first person I shared the news with was Eileen, who celebrated with me over a video call, waving her phone proudly at the screen. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
