I’m writing to express my thanks for your recommendation of some scientists‘ inspiring stories, from which I have benefited a lot. Successful examples are all alike, while each and every failure varies in its own way. The spirit of successful scientists has been encouraging me to pursue my dreams and goals firmly. Edison did thousands of experiments to invent the lamp, his perseverance driving me to embrace challenges bravely. Despite difficulties and threats, Qian Xuesen, a renowned rocket expert, resolutely returned to China, devoting his whole life to the country, which gives me a deep insight into the meaning of life. Tu Youyou's rigorous scientific attitude and her teamwork spirit also helps me learn to be humble and open-minded. Words fail to extend my gratitude for your support and encouragement. Many thanks again! Best regards, Li Hua 第二节(满分25分) 【67题答案】 【答案】One possible version: In a class discussion, I was invited to explain the meaning of my name. Standing up, I felt a mix of nervousness and excitement. “My name, Qiuyu, combines the characters for autumn and rain in Chinese,” I began, my voice steady. “Autumn represents harvest and maturity, while rain symbolizes nourishment and growth. Together, they embody a time of abundance and renewal.” As I spoke, I noticed the rapt attention of my classmates, their eyes reflecting curiosity and respect. It was a moment of connection, a bridge built between cultures through the simple act of sharing my name. Many of my classmates got interested and came up to me after class. They surrounded me, their questions pouring out like a stream. “What other names have beautiful meanings in Chinese?” “Can you teach us how to write our names in Chinese characters?” I smiled, feeling a warmth spread through me. I took out a piece of paper and began to sketch out characters, explaining each stroke and its significance. Through this interaction, I realized that by embracing my cultural identity, I was not only preserving my heritage but also enriching the lives of those around me. It was a small yet meaningful step towards fostering cultural understanding and appreciation. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $平阳三中2025学年第一学期高二第二次英语月考 考号 姓名 班级 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生先将自己的姓名、准考证号码填写清楚，将条形码准确粘 贴在条形码区域内。 缺考口 贴条形码区 2.选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂且按正确填涂方式填涂：■非选择题必须 使用0.5毫米黑色字迹的签字笔书写，字体工整，笔迹清晰。 听力(30分) 1 AB C 6 四I 11 四 16 四 2 LA LB C A]B]ICI 1 A BI Lc] 17 DBIC四 3 A▣B A和BI 13 ABI C 8 ABC 4 LAJB C 9 LA]B]C] 4 LABC 19 LAJ LBIC] IB]C 10 BC 15 A [BI C 20 ABC 二、阅读理解(37.5分) 21 LA BC 26 AJ BIIC] 31 四BM 22 LA LB LC DD 27 A LB C 四 32 A B IC AJBC 刃 28 AJB] I 33 团 四 24 ALB网I 29 AJ BI IC D 34 ABI IC四 25 A和BCD 30 A和BICI 35 A和BI四 三、七选五（12.5分) 36 AB C DE□I 37 LAI BI ICI D EI F IG 38 团BI四M四m 39 AIBC网)EE A 40A▣BC四E四E凹四 四、完形填空(15分) 41 AB] 46 ABI CI 51 A▣BICD四 42 LA BC D 47 BM四 52 四BM 43 A和BII 48 AJ BIC 53 四IM四 44 LBI四 49 IB网四 54 B网四 45 ADB四 50 AJ B]C 55 ADIC四 五、语法填空(15分) 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 请勿在此区域作答 第1页 六、应用文写作(15分) Dear Edward, Yours, Li Hua 七、读后续写(25分) 67(25分) In a class discussion,I was invited to explain the meaning of my name.

Each has a personality shaped by the goods and services produced and traded for centuries. But each town has more to do than shop. Hereford, Herefordshire Hereford has remained a lively market town since 1189. Skirting the town square, you’ll find lovely shops, eateries, and the Black and White House Museum. The Hereford Cathedral is the most impressive building in town. It’s also home to an ancient library. One of the four original copies of the Magna Carta is displayed there. Ludlow, Shropshire Ludlow is known as the Foodie Center of England. Butcher shops, greengrocers, bakeries, and cheese shops line the town square. Bordering the square, the Ludlow Castle is a “must explore” medieval stronghold. The three-day Ludlow Food Festival is held each September. Shrewsbury, Shropshire Getting to Shrewsbury Town Center from London is challenging but worth the anxiety. The River Severn has a significant turn through town, almost making an island of Shrewsbury Town Center. The shape creates a perfect market where goods could be shipped and received using the river as a highway. Flowers are everywhere-hanging baskets, window boxes, and planters-just what you imagine in an attractive English market town. Mevagissey, Cornwall Even if you haven’t been to the small fishing village Mevagissey, you’ve probably seen it in a movie or British TV show. The working harbor (港口) took shape in 1774. Fishermen go out to sea daily and sell their fish in harbor-side markets. Don’t leave the harbor without a traditional Cornish pie. It’s delicious. 21. Where can you find an original copy of the Magna Carta? A. In the Ludlow Castle. B. In the Foodie Center of England. C In the Hereford Cathedral. D. In the Black and White House Museum. 22. What is a feature of Shrewsbury Town Center? A. It’s situated near a big island. B. It’s almost surrounded by water. C. It’s known for its flower festival. D. It’s easily accessible from London. 23. What does the author suggest visitors do in Mevagissey? A. Try the Cornish pie. B. Watch a British TV show. C. Go fishing in the sea. D. Take pictures of the harbor. B Kathy Ho teaches high school inside Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford (LPCH). “Sometimes I don’t like saying that I’m a teacher,” says Ho. “People get in their minds an idea of what teachers do, but that’s not really what it is here.” “Here” is room 386, where each year, about 500 LPCH patients also become students. The hospital school is free of parents, doctors, and medical procedures. It’s a place of learning. About half of Ho’s students stay for a week or less; others are there for more than a year. Most of Ho’s students will recover, which means that preparing them to return to school is an increasingly important component of care. Still, in room 386, academics don’t come first. Physical health and mental health are the priority. “If you’re scared about something and thinking only about that, there’s no way you’re going to be able to learn,” Ho says. “I’m a coach, an adviser, and a comforter, and that’s what it means to be a hospital teacher.” There are up to 30 students at any given time in Ho’s class. She generally works with their regular teachers to get lessons and tests being used at their home schools. Some teachers don’t give the kids any assignments; they express sympathy instead. “I feel like it is a disservice to the kids,” Ho says. “They think their teachers don’t care about their schoolwork.” Ho recognizes the psychological benefit of helping kids keep up with their peers (同龄人) outside the hospital. “I actually think the medicine is only a small piece for some problems,” says Julie Good, director of pain management services at LPCH. “It’s about problem-solving around what it means to have a full life. Those kids have dreams. School can keep those dreams alive by giving kids a way to learn and grow.” 24. Who does Ho teach at LPCH? A. Sick children. B. Young nurses. C. Medical students. D. Patients’ parents. 25. What is a characteristic of Ho’s job? A Prioritizing academics. B. Encouraging innovation. C. Treating various diseases. D. Playing multiple roles. 26. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 4? A. Offering regular lessons. B. Paying extra attention. C. Assigning no schoolwork. D. Showing no sympathy. 27. How does the hospital school benefit the students according to Good? A. It eases peer pressure. B. It helps them live in hope. C. It frees them from aches. D. It entertains them with stories. C When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants, she didn’t have high hopes for it. But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. In the past year, Detrinidad sent out more than 70,000 plants. Her success is just one example of increased time at home leading to an explosion in the houseplant industry. “Plants are in fashion right now,” says Dr. Melinda Knuth, a researcher from the University of Florida. “People who live in plant-rich environments report a higher life satisfaction rating, ” she says. “Adding more nature to our environment can change our mood and how we think.” Plants can improve our state of mind in a few ways but the biggest is by decreasing our level of cortisol, the stress hormone (激素) in our body. “Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.” If you’re among the groups of people who are enjoying the mental and physical health benefits of surrounding yourself with plants, don’t beat yourself up if one (or a few!) doesn’t make it. “Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says. 28. How was Detrinidad’s business when it started? A. It faced tough competition. B. It suffered a great loss. C. It got lots of financial support. D. It went surprisingly well. 29. What is one of Knuth’s findings about plants? A. They appeal more to students. B. They purify the environment. C. They raise the cortisol level. D. They enhance productivity. 30. What does Detrinidad try to explain by mentioning doctors and lawyers? A. The necessity of social skills. B. The meaning of sustainability. C. The importance of repeated efforts. D. The value of professional opinions. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Time to Replace Houseplants B. Plants Boost Your Mood C. Tips on Choosing Houseplants D. Plants Brighten Your Home D Does your soul die a little every time you throw away unused food? Mine does. Maybe that feeling comes from growing up in South Africa, where the phrase “there are children starving in Africa” was more of an uncomfortable reminder of fact than a prayer at dinner time. Food waste is a growing concern in the restaurant, supermarket, and supply chain industries. From technological solutions to educational campaigns, food producers and sellers are looking for ways to use more of what we’re already growing. But last month, one popular New York City restaurant tried a different way: It changed its menu to exclusively (专门) offer food that would otherwise be thrown away. For two weeks in March, Greenwich Village’s Blue Hill restaurant was renamed wastED, and served items like fried skate cartilage, a juice pulp burger, and a dumpster diver’s vegetable salad. Each dish was tailor-made to raise awareness regarding food waste. A study by the Food Waste Alliance determined that the average restaurant generates 33 pounds of food waste for every $1,000 in revenue (收入), and of that waste only 15.7% is donated or recycled. Up to 84.3% is simply thrown out. Restaurants like Silo in the UK have experimented with zero-waste systems, but wastED took the concept to its logical conclusion. It should be noted that none of the items on wastED’s menu was technically made from garbage. Instead, all the ingredients (配料) used were examples of meat cuts and produce that most restaurants would never consider serving. Things like kale ribs, fish collars, rejected sweet potatoes, and cucumber butts were all re-appropriated and, with the help of a number of good chefs, turned into excellent cuisine. Though wastED received enthusiastic reviews, it was designed from the start as a short-lived experiment; Blue Hill has since returned to its regular menu.

But for me, it was the first challenge I encountered as an international student in Ireland. The pronunciation system of the Chinese language is quite different from that of English. For native speakers of English, some Chinese words are rather difficult to pronounce. My given name Qiuyu (秋雨), for instance, happened to be a great challenge for many of them. Every time I gave a self-introduction, I had to explain how to pronounce my name at least five times, yet they still could not say it the way I did. Once in a lecture, the professor tried repeating my name after me over and over in front of thirty classmates. I really did not know whether I should continue correcting him or simply drop the matter. I feared that my classmates might grow tired of my efforts or even lose patience with me. After all, I did care about how others would think of me. I realized that if I didn’t stop, the entire lecture would be ruined. “It’s okay, professor,” I shrugged (耸肩). The awkward moment ended with the class erupting into laughter. I forced a smile, unsure how to respond further. After that incident, I stopped acting as a “Chinese teacher.” Instead of correcting others when they were struggling to pronounce my name, I just smiled and nodded approvingly. This approach spared me the discomfort of having to over-explain. However, I soon found that by doing so, I might be losing something more important: the opportunity to share a small part of my cultural identity. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150个左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 In a class discussion, I was invited to explain the meaning of my name. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Many of my classmates got interested and came up to me after class. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 1【原文】W: Is this bus going to Baxley, Sir? M: No, I’m afraid not. See the yellow taxi on the corner? Turn left there to Maida Street and take bus No. 4. W: All right. Thank you. 2【原文】W: So, would you folks like some dessert? M: Just bring us the bill, please. We need to get back on the road and continue our journey. W: No problem. 3【原文】W: Dad, I can’t afford that computer, but I think I really need it for my research. M: Don’t worry, Alice. Just pay as much as you can, and I’ll make up the rest. W: Thank you. Then I can place the order. 4【原文】W: Hi, I’m Julie. I’m from the Department of Psychology. What about you? M: I study biology. I hope you can understand my English. I’m still learning. W: Well, you speak very clearly. 5【原文】M: Linda, I need you to help me with my problem. W: What did you do? Gee, you broke Mary’s sports watch? M: Ah! I wish I didn’t touch it. W: Well, don’t worry. We’ll have it fixed. 6/7【原文】W: Hello? M: Hi Delia, this is Peter. Are you doing anything Tuesday evening? W: Not really. M: I’ve got two tickets for the National Theatre. Would you like to come? W: Thanks, I’d love to. What’s on? M: Stoppard’s latest play. W: Oh, Sonny told me was very good. M: Yes, everyone says so. Shall I meet you at your office at six o’ clock? Then we can go and have a quick snack. The play starts at seven o’ clock. W: Sounds great. See you Tuesday then. M: Good. Bye. 8/9【原文】W: Hi, Sam, how is your daughter doing at school? M: Well, since I bought a smartphone for Jillian last summer, it seems the phone has become an extension of her arm, and it has made it impossible for her to concentrate. That really upsets me. W: You are not alone in that. It is said that 95% of teenagers either own or have access to a smartphone. Some schools have put in place policies banning or controlling phone use during school hours. M: I’m all in favor of these policies. W: Yeah, more and more schools have begun doing this. A friend of mine works at a school, and he told me that these policies had brought about positive changes. 10/11/12【原文】W: Max, are you ready to go? M: Sure, honey. Why are you dressed like that? I thought we were going to play table tennis with Billy and Karen. W: Oh, change of plan. Billy suggested we go rock climbing instead. M: But I was really looking forward to playing table tennis. W: You play table tennis all the time. We’d like to go do some outdoor activities for a change, like rock climbing and horseback riding. M: Oh, Jessie, I thought the point of this vacation was to relax. W: Well, we can do something less demanding tomorrow. How about boating on the lake? What do you think? M: That’ll be great. I like the idea of spending some time on the water. I’m sure Billy and Karen will like it too. 13/14/15/16【原文】M: Hi, Susanna. I had an interview with Anderson High Tech and they offered me the position of sales manager. I want to let you know before I make my decision. W: I’m sorry to hear that, Frank, but I appreciate you telling me before you accept the offer. M: I really enjoy my work here. I put in effort for five years to gain more experience, but there seems no hope of being promoted. W: What would have you decide to stay? M: I would consider staying if I could change my position. I would love working in this same department, but I would like to be doing something different. And they offer me 6% more than my present salary. W: When do you have to tell them your decision? M: They want me to respond by Friday. W: Let me see. I’ll talk to the human resources director and let you know the result on Thursday. Can you wait until then? M: That would be too late. Wednesday will be better. W: Ok, no problem. I’m going to do everything I can to keep you on board. M: I appreciate what you are doing for me. 17/18/19/20【原文】 W: Hello, everyone. Welcome to Creative Day School. This summer, we provide two full-time summer camp programs. Both will last the entire time the children are out of school. Our first summer camp is for our four-year-olds, called Mini Camp. This Mini Camp will still have their normal everyday schedule with a lot of fun activities. At least once a week, our Mini Campers will go on a field trip. These field trips could consist of a day at the beach or exploring the Natural Museum. Our  Older Summer Camp is provided for ages 5 through 12. There are scheduled summer fun activities and games. The children will participate in art, outdoor play, games, and much more. Swimming at a nearby pool is often a weekly field trip for ages 6 and up. Other field trips could include bowling, a day at the movies, or a picnic in the park. Permission of parents and activity fees are required to participate in all field trips. Now, let’s watch a five-minute film about last year’s programs. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
