What he loves most is to make people laugh. All his friends love his jokes, and even the teachers think he is very funny. Brian knows that comedy is what he likes best. When he hears about the school’s talent show, he decides to sign up so that he can share his comedy from the stage. He has never done real stand-up comedy before, and he is very excited. But when some of the students find out he will take part, they laugh at him. Brian thinks it does not feel very good when someone laughs at him in a mean way! Brian cannot understand why they are being so unkind to him. For a moment, he thinks about telling the talent show organizers he will not attend. But then he remembers how much his friends and teachers like his jokes. He makes up his mind to go ahead and prepare his comedy routine (表演) for the talent show. Brian decides to do a great job at the talent show to prove to the mean students that they are wrong. Everyone loves his routine, and he wins first prize! Even so, the same students tell Brian he is foolish and that he will never be a successful comedian. Brian just shakes his head and wonders what their problem is. He does not understand, but he realizes that it has nothing to do with him. He happily continues to work towards his goal. As the years go on, Brian meets more people like that. Luckily, they are the minority, and as he works hard to become a comedian, most of the people he meets encourage him and help him to become even funnier.

However, the question arises as to whether the tents left behind can be recycled. While some festival organizers claim that they recycle the tents, the answer is not so straightforward. Every year, thousands of tents are thrown away at festivals, and it’s not just post-festival laziness or poor weather that is to blame. According to a recent survey, many festival-goers leave their tents behind because they believe they will be donated to charities. But unfortunately, this is only wishful thinking. Matt Wedge, the director of Festival Waste Reclamation & Distribution, says that the number of tents left behind is increasing, estimating that around 20% of the tents at Leeds Festival were thrown away, which amounted to about 7,000 tents. He adds that the number of abandoned tents in Reading and Leicester festivals doubles, meaning that 14,000 tents could have been thrown away. In terms of addressing this problem, one popular idea is to employ a tent deposit scheme (押金方案). Under this scheme, festival-goers would pay a deposit to bring their tent to the festival, which would be returned to them if they take their tent home. “A similar thing happens with litter. Some festivals make attendees (参加者) pay a £10 ‘eco bond’, which will be returned to them if they fill up a bag of rubbish and hand it in at the end of the festival,” Wedge says. The shocking images of abandoned tents are more than just a comment on the environmental impacts of the festival itself. They are in fact a dramatic symbol of our throwaway culture. Just as images of clean fields at Glastonbury represent a refreshing sign of hope, the final message is to make it a habit to take your tent home at least. It’s the best thing people can do. 8. Why are tents left behind after music festivals according to the recent survey? A. Most of the tents are of poor quality. B. Some people are too lazy to take the tents home. C. Poor weather makes it difficult to recycle the tents. D. Many people mistakenly think the tents will be donated. 9. What can we learn from the numbers listed in paragraph 3? A. There is an increasing demand for tents. B. A large number of tents are thrown away. C. Making tents needs a fair amount of energy. D. Festival tickets are more expensive than tents. 10. What’s paragraph 4 mainly about? A. How charities deal with the tents. B. How to attract more festival-goers. C. How to reduce rubbish and tents after festivals. D. How people view rubbish and tents at festivals. 11. What does the author intend to do by writing the text? A. Stress the importance of music festivals. B. Introduce popular music festivals in the world. C. Make people pay attention to the quality of tents. D. Call on people to protect the environment at festivals. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了音乐节后大量帐篷被遗弃的问题，呼吁人们保护音乐节环境。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A ccording to a recent survey, many festival-goers leave their tents behind because they believe they will be donated to charities.(根据最近的一项调查，许多参加音乐节的人把帐篷留下，是因为他们认为这些帐篷会被捐赠给慈善机构。)”可知，音乐节后帐篷被留下是因为许多人误以为帐篷会被捐赠。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Matt Wedge, the director of Festival Waste Reclamation & Distribution, says that the number of tents left behind is increasing, estimating that around 20% of the tents at Leeds Festival were thrown away, which amounted to about 7,000 tents. He adds that the number of abandoned tents in Reading and Leicester festivals doubles, meaning that 14,000 tents could have been thrown away.(音乐节废物回收与分配部门的主管马特·韦奇说，被遗弃的帐篷数量正在增加，估计利兹音乐节上大约20%的帐篷被扔掉了，大约有7000顶帐篷。他补充说，雷丁和莱斯特音乐节上被遗弃的帐篷数量翻了一番，这意味着可能有14000顶帐篷被扔掉了。)”可知，我们可以从第三段列出的数字中了解到大量的帐篷被扔掉了。故选B。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中“In terms of addressing this problem, one popular idea is to employ a tent deposit scheme (押金方案). Under this scheme, festival-goers would pay a deposit to bring their tent to the festival, which would be returned to them if they take their tent home. “A similar thing happens with litter. Some festivals make attendees (参加者) pay a £10 ‘eco bond’, which will be returned to them if they fill up a bag of rubbish and hand it in at the end of the festival,” Wedge says.(为了解决这个问题，一个广受欢迎的想法是采用帐篷押金方案。根据这一方案，乐迷需支付押金才能将帐篷带入音乐节，如果他们将帐篷带回家，押金将退还给他们。韦奇说：“类似的情况也发生在垃圾处理上。一些音乐节要求参加者支付10英镑的‘生态保证金’，如果他们在音乐节结束时捡满一袋垃圾并上交，保证金就会退还给他们。”)”可知，第四段主要讲的是如何减少音乐节后的垃圾和帐篷。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The shocking images of abandoned tents are more than just a comment on the environmental impacts of the festival itself. They are in fact a dramatic symbol of our throwaway culture. Just as images of clean fields at Glastonbury represent a refreshing sign of hope, the final message is to make it a habit to take your tent home at least. It’s the best thing people can do.(被遗弃帐篷令人震惊的画面不仅仅是对音乐节本身对环境影响的评论。它们实际上是我们一次性文化的戏剧性象征。就像格拉斯顿伯里音乐节上干净田野的画面代表着令人耳目一新的希望一样，最终的信息是至少要让人们养成把帐篷带回家的习惯。这是人们能做的最好的事情。)”可知，作者写这篇文章是为了呼吁人们在音乐节上保护环境。故选D。 D I remember it like it was yesterday. My freshman year basketball tryouts (选拔赛) had gone surprisingly well. I completed every pass and earned a spot as a solid bench player (替补球员). Then this happened — I missed an easy shot totally for no reason. The next day I got cut from the team. “Fail fast and fail often.” The startup world is filled with statements like this. In technology and entrepreneurship (企业家) circles, failure has become something to chase, not avoid. And science is starting to back this up. A Nature study found that among scientists and entrepreneurs, those who ultimately succeeded had actually failed more often than their less-successful fellows. What set them apart wasn’t luck or genius; it was their ability to learn and adapt quickly after each failure. Sonja Lyubomirsky and Ed Diener, two leading voices in positive psychology, have shown that people who’ve experienced failure sometimes report higher levels of long-term well-being than those who haven’t. Their findings suggest that lasting happiness is fueled less by external wins, like medals or titles, and more by internal sources: purpose, meaningful relationships, and personal growth. How can we pursue purpose without being consumed by the pain of failure? My suggestion is to rethink purpose, especially “little purpose”, which is about the process, not the outcome. Say you dream of becoming a best-selling writer. That’s wonderful. But even if the book doesn’t make it onto the New York Times list, the act of writing it, of shaping your story, can still be deeply fulfilling. Perhaps my basketball setback could have been redefined (重新定义). Instead of quitting the team entirely, maybe I could have applied to be the equipment manager. I would have stayed close to the sport I loved, and found meaning without needing to be a top athlete. When success isn’t narrowly defined, failure doesn’t close the door. It opens new ones. In this way, failure truly becomes the new success. 12. Why is the author’s basketball experience mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To describe the pain of failure. B. To criticize unfair selection system. C. To introduce the topic of failure. D. To express regret about his performance. 13. What does the study in Nature suggest about successful people? A. They are more likely to fail. B. They are less adaptable to failure. C. They gain valuable lessons from failure. D. They work in the field of high-tech. 14. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The short-term joy of success. B. The source of lasting happiness. C. The most rewarding way of living. D. The balance of feeling good and failure. 15. What is the best title for this text? A. Why Failure Is the New Success B. How to Get a Sense of Achievement C. The Role of Purpose in Personal Growth D. Humans Learn Better from Direct Experience 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要通过作者自身的经历并结合科学研究与心理学发现，探讨了失败在科技和创业领域以及个人成长中的意义，强调了从失败中学习、重新定义目的的重要性。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I remember it like it was yesterday. My freshman year basketball tryouts had gone surprisingly well. I completed every pass and earned a spot as a solid bench player. Then this happened — I missed an easy shot totally for no reason. The next day I got cut from the team. (我对这件事的记忆就像发生在昨天一样。我大一那年的篮球选拔赛进行得出奇顺利。我每次传球都很到位，成功获得了一个稳定的替补球员名额。可之后发生了这样一件事 —— 我莫名其妙地投丢了一个很容易的球。第二天，我就被球队裁掉了。)”以及第二段中““Fail fast and fail often.” The startup world is filled with statements like this. In technology and entrepreneurship circles, failure has become something to chase, not avoid. And science is starting to back this up. (“快速失败，经常失败。”创业圈里充斥着诸如此类的说法。在科技和企业家圈子中，失败已成为一种值得追求而非回避的东西。而科学也正开始支持这一点。)”可知，作者通过讲述自己篮球选拔赛失败的经历，是为了引出了关于“失败”的话题，为后文讨论失败的意义和价值做铺垫。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A Nature study found that among scientists and entrepreneurs, those who ultimately succeeded had actually failed more often than their less-successful fellows. What set them apart wasn’t luck or genius; it was their ability to learn and adapt quickly after each failure. (《自然》杂志的一项研究发现，在科学家和企业家当中，那些最终成功的人实际上比那些不太成功的人失败的次数更多。使他们脱颖而出的不是运气或天赋，而是他们在每次失败后快速学习和适应的能力。)”可知，《自然》杂志的研究表明，成功的人能从失败中吸取宝贵的教训并快速适应。故选C项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Sonja Lyubomirsky and Ed Diener, two leading voices in positive psychology, have shown that people who’ve experienced failure sometimes report higher levels of long-term well-being than those who haven’t. Their findings suggest that lasting happiness is fueled less by external wins, like medals or titles, and more by internal sources: purpose, meaningful relationships, and personal growth. (积极心理学领域的两位领军人物Sonja Lyubomirsky和Ed Diener的研究表明，经历过失败的人有时比没有经历过失败的人报告的长期幸福感水平更高。他们的研究结果表明，持久的幸福感较少来自外部的胜利，如奖牌或头衔，而更多来自内部源泉：目标、有意义的人际关系和个人成长。)”可知，第三段主要讨论了持久幸福感的来源，即来自内部的目标、有意义的人际关系和个人成长，而非外部的胜利。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中“In technology and entrepreneurship circles, failure has become something to chase, not avoid. And science is starting to back this up. (在科技和创业圈，失败已经成为一种追求，而不是避免。科学也开始支持这一点。)”以及最后一段中“When success isn’t narrowly defined, failure doesn’t close the door. It opens new ones. In this way, failure truly becomes the new success. (当成功没有被狭隘地定义时，失败就不会关上大门。它打开了新的大门。这样，失败就真正成为了新的成功。)”可知，文章主要讨论了失败的意义和价值，强调了从失败中学习、重新定义目的的重要性，认为失败可以成为新的成功。所以“Why Failure Is the New Success (为何失败是新的成功)”最契合文章主旨，适宜作为标题使用。故选A项。 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。 How to Build Good Study Habits Developing good study habits is essential for academic success.

Emma, with her curious eyes shining, asked me about my friendship with Lucy. Without thinking, I said, “I only hung out with Lucy because she wanted me to, but I didn’t really want to be friends with her. She was kind of boring.” Unluckily, I didn’t know Lucy was nearby. When I looked up, she was right there, having heard everything. Her face turned pale, and her eyes got big with surprise. She didn’t say anything and ran off. Emma and I just stood there, feeling sorry and embarrassed. I knew I should go after Lucy and say sorry, but I was too shocked to move. Emma’s face turned red too. We walked home without talking, and it felt like our steps were getting heavier. The next days were hard. I felt really bad about what I said and wanted to fix things with Lucy. I needed to say sorry. But what should I say? Even though I didn’t mean to, I hurt Lucy’s feelings. Every time I saw her at school, I looked away quickly. Then, something interesting happened in our speaking class. On Tuesday, Mrs. Julia said we would do pre-class speeches. She had written our topics on small pieces of paper and put them in a box. We had to pick one without knowing what it was. I was a bit nervous. When I reached into the box, I pulled out a paper that said, “Tell your most embarrassing moment.” My heart was beating fast. It felt like I was given a chance to make things right. I spent the next few days practicing my speech, trying to find the right words to apologize to Lucy. I wanted to be sincere and show her I was sorry. When the day of the speech came, I was still nervous, but I knew it was important to face my mistake. I stood in front of the class, took a deep breath, and began to share my story, hoping it would help me and Lucy move forward. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Knowing what I had to say, I calmed myself down and walked to the stage. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That day marked a turning point. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1 Knowing what I had to say, I calmed myself down and walked to the stage. I looked directly at Lucy, my voice steady but sincere. “Last week, I said something terrible about my friend Lucy behind her back, and she heard every word,” I admitted. “I was thoughtless and cruel, and I hurt her deeply. Lucy, you’re kind, funny, and a true friend—I never meant to hurt you. I’m so sorry.” The class fell quiet, and I saw Lucy’s eyes glisten with tears as she nodded slightly. Paragraph 2 That day marked a turning point. After class, Lucy came up to me with a soft smile. “Thank you for apologizing publicly,” she said. “I was really hurt, but I know you didn’t mean it.” We hugged tightly, and the awkwardness between us vanished. Emma also apologized for not stopping me that day. From then on, our friendship grew stronger—we laughed more, listened better, and learned to value honesty. I realized that facing mistakes bravely, not hiding from them, is the key to keeping true friendships. 【解析】 【导语】本文以“友谊危机与自我救赎”为线索，讲述了作者在与Emma闲聊时无意间贬低好友Lucy，被Lucy当场听见后引发友谊裂痕，随后在口语课“最尴尬的时刻”主题演讲中，作者决定借机会公开道歉，希望修复关系的故事。 【详解】段落续写： ① 由第一段首句“知道自己该说什么后，我冷静下来，走向讲台。”可知，本段可聚焦演讲现场的道歉场景，展现作者的愧疚与悔改之心，以及Lucy 的回应。 ② 由第二段首句“那一天成为了一个转折点。”可知，本段可描写道歉后的连锁反应以及感悟。 续写线索：上台演讲公开道歉——Lucy含泪回应——课后主动和解——Emma道歉——友谊升温——领悟相处真谛 词汇激活 行为类： ① 承认：admit/confess ② 道歉：apologize/say sorry ③ 消失：vanish/disappear ④ 珍视：value/cherish 情绪类： ① 真诚的：sincere/genuine ② 尴尬的：awkwardness/embarrassment 【点睛】[高分句型1]I looked directly at Lucy, my voice steady but sincere.（运用独立主格结构） [高分句型2] I realized that facing mistakes bravely, not hiding from them, is the key to keeping true friendships.（运用了that引导宾语从句以及动名词作主语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年第一学期期末考试 高二 英语 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

B Brian is a very silly, funny student. What he loves most is to make people laugh. All his friends love his jokes, and even the teachers think he is very funny. Brian knows that comedy is what he likes best. When he hears about the school’s talent show, he decides to sign up so that he can share his comedy from the stage. He has never done real stand-up comedy before, and he is very excited. But when some of the students find out he will take part, they laugh at him. Brian thinks it does not feel very good when someone laughs at him in a mean way! Brian cannot understand why they are being so unkind to him. For a moment, he thinks about telling the talent show organizers he will not attend. But then he remembers how much his friends and teachers like his jokes. He makes up his mind to go ahead and prepare his comedy routine (表演) for the talent show. Brian decides to do a great job at the talent show to prove to the mean students that they are wrong. Everyone loves his routine, and he wins first prize! Even so, the same students tell Brian he is foolish and that he will never be a successful comedian. Brian just shakes his head and wonders what their problem is. He does not understand, but he realizes that it has nothing to do with him. He happily continues to work towards his goal. As the years go on, Brian meets more people like that. Luckily, they are the minority, and as he works hard to become a comedian, most of the people he meets encourage him and help him to become even funnier. He gets more and more opportunities to perform, and he is even invited to appear on television and act in movies. 4. Why does Brian decide to take part in the school’s talent show? A.

However, the question arises as to whether the tents left behind can be recycled. While some festival organizers claim that they recycle the tents, the answer is not so straightforward. Every year, thousands of tents are thrown away at festivals, and it’s not just post-festival laziness or poor weather that is to blame. According to a recent survey, many festival-goers leave their tents behind because they believe they will be donated to charities. But unfortunately, this is only wishful thinking. Matt Wedge, the director of Festival Waste Reclamation & Distribution, says that the number of tents left behind is increasing, estimating that around 20% of the tents at Leeds Festival were thrown away, which amounted to about 7,000 tents. He adds that the number of abandoned tents in Reading and Leicester festivals doubles, meaning that 14,000 tents could have been thrown away. In terms of addressing this problem, one popular idea is to employ a tent deposit scheme (押金方案). Under this scheme, festival-goers would pay a deposit to bring their tent to the festival, which would be returned to them if they take their tent home. “A similar thing happens with litter. Some festivals make attendees (参加者) pay a £10 ‘eco bond’, which will be returned to them if they fill up a bag of rubbish and hand it in at the end of the festival,” Wedge says. The shocking images of abandoned tents are more than just a comment on the environmental impacts of the festival itself. They are in fact a dramatic symbol of our throwaway culture. Just as images of clean fields at Glastonbury represent a refreshing sign of hope, the final message is to make it a habit to take your tent home at least. It’s the best thing people can do. 8. Why are tents left behind after music festivals according to the recent survey? A. Most of the tents are of poor quality. B. Some people are too lazy to take the tents home. C. Poor weather makes it difficult to recycle the tents. D. Many people mistakenly think the tents will be donated. 9. What can we learn from the numbers listed in paragraph 3? A. There is an increasing demand for tents. B. A large number of tents are thrown away. C. Making tents needs a fair amount of energy. D. Festival tickets are more expensive than tents. 10. What’s paragraph 4 mainly about? A. How charities deal with the tents. B. How to attract more festival-goers. C. How to reduce rubbish and tents after festivals. D. How people view rubbish and tents at festivals. 11. What does the author intend to do by writing the text? A. Stress the importance of music festivals. B. Introduce popular music festivals in the world. C. Make people pay attention to the quality of tents. D. Call on people to protect the environment at festivals. D I remember it like it was yesterday. My freshman year basketball tryouts (选拔赛) had gone surprisingly well. I completed every pass and earned a spot as a solid bench player (替补球员). Then this happened — I missed an easy shot totally for no reason. The next day I got cut from the team. “Fail fast and fail often.” The startup world is filled with statements like this. In technology and entrepreneurship (企业家) circles, failure has become something to chase, not avoid. And science is starting to back this up. A Nature study found that among scientists and entrepreneurs, those who ultimately succeeded had actually failed more often than their less-successful fellows. What set them apart wasn’t luck or genius; it was their ability to learn and adapt quickly after each failure. Sonja Lyubomirsky and Ed Diener, two leading voices in positive psychology, have shown that people who’ve experienced failure sometimes report higher levels of long-term well-being than those who haven’t. Their findings suggest that lasting happiness is fueled less by external wins, like medals or titles, and more by internal sources: purpose, meaningful relationships, and personal growth. How can we pursue purpose without being consumed by the pain of failure? My suggestion is to rethink purpose, especially “little purpose”, which is about the process, not the outcome. Say you dream of becoming a best-selling writer. That’s wonderful. But even if the book doesn’t make it onto the New York Times list, the act of writing it, of shaping your story, can still be deeply fulfilling. Perhaps my basketball setback could have been redefined (重新定义). Instead of quitting the team entirely, maybe I could have applied to be the equipment manager.

Emma, with her curious eyes shining, asked me about my friendship with Lucy. Without thinking, I said, “I only hung out with Lucy because she wanted me to, but I didn’t really want to be friends with her. She was kind of boring.” Unluckily, I didn’t know Lucy was nearby. When I looked up, she was right there, having heard everything. Her face turned pale, and her eyes got big with surprise. She didn’t say anything and ran off. Emma and I just stood there, feeling sorry and embarrassed. I knew I should go after Lucy and say sorry, but I was too shocked to move. Emma’s face turned red too. We walked home without talking, and it felt like our steps were getting heavier. The next days were hard. I felt really bad about what I said and wanted to fix things with Lucy. I needed to say sorry. But what should I say? Even though I didn’t mean to, I hurt Lucy’s feelings. Every time I saw her at school, I looked away quickly. Then, something interesting happened in our speaking class. On Tuesday, Mrs. Julia said we would do pre-class speeches. She had written our topics on small pieces of paper and put them in a box. We had to pick one without knowing what it was. I was a bit nervous. When I reached into the box, I pulled out a paper that said, “Tell your most embarrassing moment.” My heart was beating fast. It felt like I was given a chance to make things right. I spent the next few days practicing my speech, trying to find the right words to apologize to Lucy. I wanted to be sincere and show her I was sorry. When the day of the speech came, I was still nervous, but I knew it was important to face my mistake. I stood in front of the class, took a deep breath, and began to share my story, hoping it would help me and Lucy move forward. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Knowing what I had to say, I calmed myself down and walked to the stage. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That day marked a turning point. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
