Before I came to Canada, I had made careful preparations for this camp. However, I still experienced some unexpected challenges, such as the difficulty in making myself understood, talking with others from several countries, and dealing with culture shock. With great patience and kindness, the organizers helped me out. The four weeks in the camp has changed me greatly. Not only did I improve my oral English, but I also made lifelong friendships. Most importantly, I became more confident. So now I would like to express my great thanks to all the people who contributed to the camp. May our friendship last forever. Thank you! 读后续写 参考范文 Melati and Isabel decided to make a positive impact straight away. They spent their spare time picking up the rubbish on the beach. However, soon they realised that they couldn’t solve the problem on their own, for there was so much plastic. After discussions and preparations, they started an organisation to spread their idea among the youth, involving more young people in the movement, which proved to be a hit. More and more teenagers took part. In a month, they collected and recycled 2.5 tons of plastic altogether, restoring the beautiful beach. One month later, Melati received a call from the local newspaper. The two girls were invited to an interview in which they were asked what inspired them to start the organisation, what the biggest challenge was and what advice they had for young people who wanted to change the world. They said a team was what kept them going on, and added, “Keeping our team engaged and motivated has been a challenge and we are happy to have a positive influence.” Melati and Isabel are heroes who make a big difference to our world. 听力原文： Text 1 W：How about seeing the new film at the theatre tomorrow?

Text 10 Different countries have different waste management systems.One thing for sure：it's never too hard to throw your garbage in Indonesia.⑱What Indonesians commonly do is put their garbage in their personal garbage areas which are usually located in the front of their houses, right at the side of the street.In Germany，different kinds of garbage are put in different coloured cans.For example，blue garbage cans are for paper and cardboard，and pizza boxes go to gray garbage cans.Green and white garbage cans are for glass.⑲Yellow garbage cans are for plastic and metals. In Korea，you are expected to sort your waste and put it into the right bags.⑳Each district in Korea has its own official garbage bags. The garbage bags could be bought at the local supermarket.Proper waste management isn't a hard thing to do，but it needs to be supported by your family members and your surroundings in order to gain benefits from it. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 辽宁省重点高中沈阳市郊联体 2025—2026学年度上学期期末考试高二年级试题 英 语 考试时间：120分钟 试卷总分：150分 命题人：沈阳市浑南高级中学 许宝光 校题人：法库县高级中学 裴凯华 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 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。每段对话读两遍。 1．What does the man always do on Saturday?

His parents had a small shop but it was not successful and closed when he was thirteen. He worked at different times in a clothes shop and a chemist’s. He always read a lot and later managed to get a place at a science college. After he left there he became a teacher, but he was badly hurt while playing football and this meant that he could not continue. He then worked in London, writing for newspapers and doing some teaching of small groups. None of this made him much money. The Time Machine was his first fictional work. It appeared in weekly parts in a magazine in 1894 and as a book the following year. At the time, Wells was married to his second wife and was trying to support both her and her mother. He needed to make money, so he wrote it quite quickly. Although he was never really happy with the finished book, it was a great success and allowed him to continue as a writer. It is not easy for us to understand how different this book was from others of the time. It is the first real science fiction book. It introduces the readers to the idea of time as the fourth dimension, with the three dimensions of space ten years before Einstein made it part of scientific thinking. Wells also describes a simple mechanical answer to the problem of time travel—a time machine. Nobody had ever described time travel in a machine before, and the words “time machine” entered the English language. After the great success of this book, Wells wrote more science fiction. His most famous books are The Island of Dr Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897), The War of the Worlds (1898) and The First Men in the Moon (1901). All of them have been filmed, some more than once. H.G.Wells died in London in 1946. 24．Why did Wells begin to write for newspapers in London? A．He wanted to make more money. B．His second wife asked him to do so. C．He was seriously injured in sport. D．He was never happy with his former job. 25．What do we know about The Time Machine? A．It was Wells’ most famous work. B．It first appeared as a book. C．Wells was very satisfied with it. D．Its success helped to support Wells’ family. 26．How was The Time Machine different from other books of the time? A．It was the first fiction book in the world. B．It first described time travel in a machine. C．Readers felt it easier to read and understand. D．It introduced the idea of four-dimensional space. 27．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To describe the plot of The Time Machine. B．To convince readers that Wells was a good writer. C．To illustrate the great and famous works of Wells. D．To introduce Wells’ life experiences and his works. C Beth Shapiro will lead the scientific efforts to resurrect (使复活) the dodo at Colossal Biosciences, founded by tech entrepreneur Ben Lamm. Scientists hope to recover the dodo if they gather enough DNA to create a clone to implant in the eggs of closely related modern pigeons. Dodo, an odd-looking flightless bird, lived on the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean until the late 17th century. The arrival of sailors brought with them invasive species like rats and practices like hunting. They doomed the dodo, which showed no fear of humans, to extinction in the space of just a few decades. Now, a team of scientists wants to bring back the dodo. Shapiro said that she had already completed a key first step in the project based on genetic material taken out from dodo remains in Denmark. The next step was to compare the genetic information with the dodo’s closest bird relatives in the pigeon family. The following work that’s needed to resurrect the animal—programming cells from a living relative of the dodo with the lost bird’s DNA—will be significantly more difficult. Shapiro said she hopes to adapt an existing technique that has already been used to create a chicken fathered by a duck. However, Shapiro said that perfecting these synthetic (合成的) biology tools will have wider implications for bird conservation. The techniques could allow scientists to move specific genetic traits between bird species to help protect them as habitats shrink and the climate warms. Shapiro thought the technology which works in chickens would be amazing to get this to work in lots of different birds across the bird tree of life because that will be hugely impactful for bird conservation. Whether or not Colossal and its team of scientists are eventually successful in their quest to bring back the dodo and the technological breakthroughs they may generate, they have investors excited. Colossal also announced that it has raised an additional $150 million, bringing the total amount of funding raised since the company launched in 2021 to $225 million. 28．What does the underlined word “doomed” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Destroyed. B．Rescued. C．Hunted. D．Fed. 29．Which is the most challenging in resurrecting the dodo? A．Taking out genetic material from dodo remains. B．Comparing genetic information with the dodo’s relatives. C．Programming its living relative’s cells with the dodo’s DNA. D．Adapting an existing technique to create a chicken. 30．What can we learn from the passage? A．Scientists can change a duck into a chicken. B．Synthetic biology tools will shrink bird habitats. C．Protection of birds will benefit from the technology. D．The project will bring back the dodo soon. 31．Why are the numbers mentioned in the last paragraph? A．To show the project is promising. B．To evidence the technology is predictable. C．To imply the funding is insufficient. D．To prove the breakthrough is admirable. D As humanity sets their sights on deep space exploration, the moon becomes a stepping stone, with countries hoping to build lunar bases to support such missions. To solve the “lunch” problem, scientists have been exploring the possibility of growing plants on the moon. A new study by Chinese scientists has found that bacteria in soil from Earth could offer a solution. Researchers from China Agricultural University tested five species of bacteria on a material that simulated (模拟) lunar soil. Within a period of 10 to 21 days, three of the bacteria species had doubled their amount of phosphorus (磷) content, a key element for plant growth. They then grew model plants in the lunar soil containing these three bacteria species. They observed that the plants had longer stems and roots after six days of growth compared with those grown without the bacteria. The plants also had heavier and wider leaves after 24 days of growth. Besides, levels of chlorophyll (叶绿素) —responsible for harvesting energy from light—in the model plants were about double that of those grown without bacteria. “The study results have important implications for future long​term stays on the moon, ” the study’s lead researcher, Sun Zhencai, told Xinhua. Earth bacteria may help astronauts make better use of lunar resources, such as creating lunar greenhouses. In their follow-up research, they hope to experiment with real lunar soil samples and grow crops like rice, corn and potatoes. Since the duration of space missions is increasing, carrying all food supplies to space becomes unsustainable. Hence, “space farmers” becomes critical. During the Shenzhou XI mission, astronauts managed to grow lettuce, from sowing to harvest. In the later missions, the “space farmers” have successfully grown wheat, rice and thale cress (拟南芥), according to CCTV News. The most recent visitors to China’s space station, the Shenzhou XVII astronauts, are now growing lettuce, scallion and cherry tomato. These “space farmers” not only provide astronauts with food but also more oxygen and water. 32．What do scientists hope the bacteria in soil from Earth can do? A．Change lunar soil into Earth soil. B．Remove pollutants in lunar soil. C．Help cultivate crops on the moon. D．Get nutrients from the lunar soil. 33．The scientists divided the plants used in the experiment into groups based on ________． A．plant species B．bacteria species C．the growth rate of the plants D．the presence of the bacteria 34．What is the main focus of the last two paragraphs on China’s “space farming”？ A．Future missions. B．Recent achievements. C．Planting methods. D．Production processes. 35．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．Bacteria from Earth May Help Grow Crops on the Moon B．Bacteria Play a Key Role in Growing Crops Nowadays C．China Has Made Many Achievements regarding Crop Harvest D．The Origin and Development of Space Exploration Worldwide 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）  根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Why gratitude is significant? As far as I’m concerned, no matter what you’re going through, there is always a reason to be thankful. Being thankful might just be exactly what you need to do if you’re going through a tough time. 36 Researchers found that having an attitude of gratitude helps strengthen one’s immune system, lower blood pressure, improve sleep and motivate people to exercise regularly. 37 Practicing gratitude also has been associated with better quality of life for individuals who struggle with stress, anxiety and depression. Having gone through a period of depression myself after cancer surgery 10 years ago, I can tell you this illness can be severe. 38 I knew I was in trouble when I couldn’t eat or sleep. It took me well over a year to come out of that dark valley. During that time, I sought many forms of treatment for depression, including professional counseling and exercises. One thing recommended to me by a counselor was keeping a gratitude journal. 39 This simple exercise lifts my sight out of the darkness and helps me see the truth around: there are people who love and care for me and there are purposes in life. 40 In reality, there is no single cure for it. If suffering, you may prefer to seek professional counseling and care. Still, I would encourage you to practice gratitude. Think of a few things you can thank life for. You might be surprised by how significant an effect it can have. A．It itself carries a host of health benefits. B．Being grateful accounts for your recovery. C．Gratitude is good for your mind, body and soul. D．Depression makes you feel as if you were dead inside. E．For example, I would sincerely convey my gratitude loudly. F．Every day, I would set down three things I was thankful for in life. G．Now I realize depression does not go away by practicing a single exercise. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15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。 When I started my company, a customer service phone number was put on the website to better the communication with users. Somehow it rarely rang. So we 41 it. However, I thought phone support would have made sense. So, last year, I 42 putting another service phone number on our homepage. “We tried this before, but it didn’t work！” they responded, casting 43 on me. “But companies progress; circumstances change.” I argued. Having convinced them to give it a shot, I started a two-week 44 . During the first few days, the volume of calls was not much but all of them were 45 .Then the volume increased dramatically, which 46 them all. So successful was it that we decided to adopt the service phone number 47 . This experience reminded me of a story. Baby elephants were 48 with a small rope. Being too 49 to break free from the rope, they grew up being conditioned to believe that the rope is stronger than they are. So, as adults, they think they can still be 50 by the rope. In my company, those who thought we couldn’t because we once 51 were like a baby elephant who was living with a 52 mindset. They came to a conclusion based on specific 53 ,  but they forgot to revise it when things changed. In business, many invisible mental ropes result in missed opportunities and wasted potential. So don’t hold onto the 54 that you will repeat the failure. All it takes is 55 eyes to reexamine the situation. 41．A.abandoned B．supervised C．updated D．resolved 42．A.admitted B．imagined C．enjoyed D．proposed 43．A.surprise B．fear C．doubt D．regret 44．A.activity B．trial C．procedure D．mission 45．A.practical B．faithful C．perfect D．same 46．A.amused B．frustrated C．astonished D．pleased 47．A.partly B．regularly C．naturally D．officially 48．A.injured B．secured C．equipped D．tended 49．A.small  B．lazy C．stupid D．short 50．A.turned off B．held back C．caught up D．taken in 51．A.prepared B．reflected C．trained D．failed 52．A.sustainable B．straightforward C．fixed D．unique 53．A.choices B．conditions C．requirements D．priorities 54．A.belief B．excuse C．fact D．information 55．A.mature B．eager C．fresh D．awesome 第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空格处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Mount Fanjing National Nature Reserve is located in the northeastern part of Tongren City in the province of Guizhou.With a total area of about 42,863 hectares (公顷) and 96.9 percent forest  56 (cover), this nature reserve is home to many rare and endangered species such as the grey snub​nosed monkey, the Chinese Dove tree, the Fanjingshan Fir tree, 57 an old-growth forest eco​system.Inside the nature reserve, one can find layer upon layer of mountains and valleys, clear streams 58 (flow) into deep blue lakes, and mighty frozen waterfalls 59 form shimmering ice cascades(小瀑布) in winter, making for 60 even more spectacular landscape.

Enjoying a swim at their local beach was once a daily pleasure for them. But when Melati was fifteen, and Isabel just ten, the sisters started to lose their enthusiasm for swimming in the waters near their home. More often than not, plastic bags would be around them as they swam and some were scattered on the beach. They got really upset about that. Melati didn’t think much about it until one day her teacher gave a lesson on some world heroes. Each of those people had sparked movements of positive changes in the world. They believed in the impact they could have and they did inspire more people to do something meaningful. After school, Melati walked home slowly in silence, concerned about the vast amount of plastic rubbish on the beach. The heroes crossed her mind. If they could do it, we could do it too, she thought. The idea lit her up. She couldn’t wait to share what she thought with Isabel and quickened her pace. “So many plastic bags around! The beach is dirty and messy! It’s so terrible! We have lost the clean and beautiful beach. Can’t we do something to get it back？” Melati said heartily. Isabel felt a bit puzzled at what to do, but she also had a strong desire to do something. Picturing a beach as fascinating as before in mind, the pair jumped with joy. They talked a lot, anxious to know how Dad and Mum would respond to their ideas. That night when the family sat by the dinner table, the sisters eagerly got their ideas across. While Mum and Dad listened to the girls carefully, their eyes shone. “How amazing that would be! We are so proud of you！” Dad exclaimed. Mum came up, gave them the thumbs-up and hugged the sisters. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 Melati and Iabel decided to make a positive impact straight away. One month later, Melati received a call from the local newspaper. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
