It combines many elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong. It is played with a paddle (球拍) and a plastic ball with holes. It can be enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels. The court A pickleball court is divided into two sides by a low net. There are two sidelines, two baselines, two centerlines, and two non-volley lines (非截击线). The centerline divides each side into two parts — the left service court and the right service court. Kitchen A unique but important area of pickleball is the non-volley zone, also known as the kitchen. Players may not hit the ball while standing in the kitchen unless the ball has already bounced (弹跳) on their side. The serve A game starts with a serve. The player standing in the right service court is always the first server. The serve must be hit underhanded from behind the baseline cross court into the opposite team’s service court. The serve must clear the net and not land in the kitchen. If the ball lands in the kitchen, it is a mistake. The return of the serve The player returning the serve must let the ball bounce before returning it to the opposite team’s side in either service court. The main point of pickleball is to hit the ball back and forth until someone makes a mistake. It is really that simple. 1. According to the text, pickleball requires __________. A. no age limits B. special training C. experienced players D. expensive equipment 2. Which of the following is a standard pickleball court? A. B. C. D. 3. What behavior is considered a mistake? A. Standing in the kitchen. B. Volleying the ball in the kitchen. C. Serving underhanded. D. Hitting the ball back and forth. B Douyin influencer Chen Jifang aged 70 has significantly received 3 million likes for her exercise video clips. For Chen, her passion for exercising was born out of a need instead of a desire to become famous. According to Chen, her health had been poor and she even had to give up her job after giving birth to her daughter because her health was severely affected by the pregnancy (孕期). In 2018, following a physical examination, Chen was diagnosed (诊断) with a series of health issues. The doctor suggested that she exercise more to prevent her already poor health from getting worse. Therefore, an overweight Chen started with light jogging, but a fitness coach later advised her to improve her size and her knee before running. Because of this, Chen entered a gym for the first time on Dec 29, 2018. Then she hit the gym every day in 2019. While most people would be concerned about having an elderly family member participate in such hard physical exercise in the gym, it doesn’t bother Chen. Her husband shows his support by doing most of the housework. Her daughter, on the other hand, helps to pick her gym wear. Chen may be a star in her own right, but she is also just one of many senior citizens in China’s major cities who are accepting exercise enthusiastically. According to a 2019 Cheetah Mobile report on the fitness behavior of the elderly, nearly 90 percent of such people in China have fitness habits while 66.4 percent of them exercise almost every day. The report also notes that the traditional means for the elderly to stay fit, such as square dancing and tai chi, have been unable to meet the new needs of the fitness-addicted elderly population. 4. Why did Chen Jifang start to exercise at first? A. To become a Douyin influencer. B. To improve her poor health. C. To follow the fitness coach’s advice. D. To meet the new needs of the elderly. 5. What helps Chen stick to her exercise? A. Suggestions from the coach. B. Concerns about being old. C. Eagerness to impress people. D. Encouragement from her family. 6. What can we infer about elderly fitness in China’s big cities? A. Elderly people have abandoned traditional fitness ways. B. More elderly people are willing to try new fitness methods. C. Fitness coaches are specially trained to serve elderly people. D. The government has taken measures to support elderly fitness. 7. What’s the main idea of the text? A. 70-year-old woman becomes a fitness influencer on Douyin. B. How to keep healthy for the elderly in modern society. C. An elderly woman’s fitness story reflects a social trend. D. The traditional fitness ways for the elderly are changing. C For various purposes such as environment protection, pest management, and economic gains, humans often relocate animals and plants to new regions. However, when these non-native species (物种) break into their new environment, they become known as invasive (入侵) species, which in some cases may dramatically change the natural landscape. Native species are part of an ecosystem through natural processes. Non-native or introduced species, on the other hand, are found outside their normal range due to human activity. While not all introduced species become invasive, those that do, negatively impact their new environment and other life forms. Often developing quickly due to the absence of natural enemies, these invasive species can outcompete and displace native plants and wildlife. As a result, they damage ecosystems by changing habitats, competing for resources, and introducing new diseases and is a possible risk to biodiversity (生物多样性). Human activities are the primary cause of invasive species spread, both intentionally and accidentally. Climate change may exacerbate the problem, allowing more species to spread further. Understanding new species’ behavior is important, followed by control measures if they become invasive. Stephanie Holt, a UK Biodiversity Training Manager at the Natural History Museum, says that climate change is likely to result in animals and plants moving around the world, but that it’s not always going to be a bad thing. “Species heading into the UK as a result of climate change need to be monitored in case they do become harmfully invasive — but not all of them will.” she says, “If we’re thinking about global species protection goals, not all species movement is a bad thing, as species adapt and change.” As climates change, adaptive protection approaches are necessary to ensure biodiversity in the movement of species. Governments must play a role, and public awareness is also important in managing the spread of invasive species, as informed communities can contribute to early and quick action. 8. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about? A. The benefits of introducing new species. B. The role of native species in ecosystems. C. The problematic nature of invasive species. D. The effects of human activities on the environment. 9. What does the underlined word “exacerbate” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Shape. B. Put an end to. C. Worsen. D. Bring back. 10. What does Stephanie think of species movement? A. It is hard to control. B. It is not always negative. C. It is driven by climate change. D. It weakens the species’ adaptability. 11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. The Global Impact of Invasive Species B. Invasive Species: Challenges and Solutions C. The Role of Human Activity in Ecosystems D. Invasive Species: A Global Economic Benefit D Imagine a school where students are taught by the best teachers in every subject, regardless of location. Imagine a school where students could go on safe field trips to the Amazon rainforest or Everest base camp. Well, such schools are already being built: in virtual reality. Last year, Optima Academy Online, an all-virtual school, delivered courses that aim to improve the hearts and train the minds of young people. These courses are of different levels, attracting 170 full-time students from all over Florida. In the progress of home-schooling, students use headsets for about three hours a day for formal lessons and then do course work independently with digital check-ins. Future versions of VR will doubtless be widely used in education, but the only questions are: for what purpose and at what speed? There are enough reasons to doubt whether VR schools represent the future of education. Sticking a child in their bedroom with a heavy VR headset fastened to their face and no physical social interaction with other kids will fill many of them and their parents with horror. A recent report concluded that digital education could significantly improve the quality and equality of schooling systems. But if managed poorly, it could have the opposite effect, turning a digital divide into an educational one. There is growing evidence to suggest that is happening. In Mexico, only 24 percent of 15-year-old students in poor schools have access (使用) to a home computer for schoolwork compared with 87 percent in rich ones. Used properly, technology can be great for enabling self-motivated students to access learning resources and connect with fellow students and teachers all over the world, says Beeban Kidron, a member of the UK’s Digital Futures Commission. The trouble is that Edtech is too often seen as a shiny new toy that will solve all problems and save money rather than being viewed as a different way to learn, she adds. 12. What’s special about the VR school? A. It hires local experienced teachers. B. It offers real trips to various places. C. It provides rich online courses. D. It requires fixed campus study. 13. What are people worried about with VR schools in Paragraph 3? A. VR headsets are too expensive. B. Students may lack in-person interaction. C. VR tech is not good for education. D. Teachers can’t track learning progress. 14. Students in Mexico are mentioned to show ________. A. Mexican schooling quality has been improved. B. local schooling systems are not fully developed. C. technology gaps may cause education inequality. D. family backgrounds shape people’s education views. 15. What does Beeban Kidron think of digital education? A. It enriches learning. B. It’s irreplaceable. C. It needs improving. D. It’s undervalued. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，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。 Rejection therapy (拒绝疗法) encourages people to ask strangers odd requests that will most likely get a “no” in response. ____16____ It could be a good exercise for someone with lower levels of anxiety looking to feel a little more comfortable with rejection. But if you want to ensure you get the benefits without causing trouble to yourself or someone else, there are some rules you should follow. ●Start small. One common mistake is exposing (使...接触) yourself to super difficult tasks at the very beginning, which can be so stressful. ____17____ For example, you can try asking a stranger at the supermarket for a breath refreshener. If it feels doable, you can work your way up to something more challenging. ●____18____ After you are rejected, your mind may race with regretful thoughts like, “God, everyone’s going to think I’m a fool!” To avoid yourself falling into this anxious state, you should take a few minutes to think deeply about what just happened. For example, you could write in a journal, “That was so embarrassing, but at least it’s over.” ●Know when to quit. ___19___ Or these silly little challenges just feel unproductive. If it’s not your thing for whatever reason, just find a different type of support that may be beneficial to you. This could include finding a therapist who is expert at treating social anxiety. If you do want to see what rejection therapy is all about, though, try to stay realistic. No, your social anxiety won’t magically disappear because of such a challenge. ____20____ During the process, you can get to know yourself more and get prepared for the future life better. A. Respect others’ thoughts. B. Take a moment to self-reflect. C. It is necessary to calm down after facing your fear. D. So the therapy beginners should start with manageable moves. E. Maybe experimenting with it is actually making you even more anxious. F. But a few weeks of pushing your limits may increase your self-confidence. G. The idea behind it is learning to be brave by repeatedly jumping into a hard situation. 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。 It all began on a cold, rainy day． Sarah, a poor single mother, was ____21____ to make ends meet.

Our parents thought we were lucky to have an Olympic-size swimming pool at the school. My mom stressed that the swimming pool was one of the best in our city. But I didn’t feel happy about it at all. Instead, I felt afraid of the swimming pool. It was mainly because I was terribly shy. I was so shy that I always sat at the back of the room in class so I’d not be called upon to read. As for the present physical education class each Monday morning, I would work my way to the back of the line forming at the diving board so I would not have to practice the dives. Now, it was another Monday morning - the morning of our diving test. My blood ran cold when the teacher Ms. Robbins announced that we would be graded for our final on the most difficult dive- the jackknife. And she added, “This diving test is important. The one who fails has to spare time in the following Monday mornings to practice diving in this swimming pool and attend this test again.” My body kept shaking with fear as the line to the scary diving board shortened. As I watched, each student seemed to perform the challenging dive effortlessly. And shortly I would have to attempt something that I had never even practiced before. Then I remembered someone telling me that when you picture yourself doing a skill over and over, it’s just as effective as physically practicing that skill. So I watched carefully as each classmate jumped at the end of the board once, added a jump for height, folded their body in half to reach for their toes, and finally straightened out like an arrow for going into the water. After carefully watching for a while, I was actually in a state of surprise, because all of a sudden I realized that it was possible for me to perform these four steps of diving. Eventually all classmates except me finished jumping. The teacher announced that it was my turn. 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。 With my heart knocking wildly, I walked down the diving board towards its end. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Knowing I failed, I climbed out of the pool, embarrassed. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2025—2026学年度第一学期期末学业质量测试 高中英语试题 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 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。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 考试时间为120分钟，满分150分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上，录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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.

Before the festival, every one of us launched into setting up tents and posting our menus. There's nothing better than the senses we experienced at a food festival — the rows of food trucks and tents as far as the eye could see, the rhythmic sound we heard from cooking, the smells of dozens of delicious food being prepared around us and of course the taste of everything we could stomach. However, what impressed us most was in fact the cultures behind the food vividly introduced by the cooks. Also, wonderful background music and colorful flags added to the pleasure of the occasion. It was everyone's joint efforts that made the activity such a big success and it's the cultures behind the food that made the festival special. Every one of us sang high praise for the event. 第一节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】One possible version: With my heart knocking wildly, I walked down the diving board towards its end. Looking down, I found all my classmates were looking up at me. My face suddenly felt hot. Finally, I ignored them. Picturing the four steps of diving, I jumped. Then I folded my body but failed to reach for my toes. And instead of entering the water like an arrow, I fell into the water, with my body being flat. As a result, it caused a huge sound, which made all the classmates burst out laughing. Knowing I failed, I climbed out of the pool, embarrassed. After class, Ms. Robbins comforted and encouraged me. In the following many Monday mornings, I practiced again and again under her guidance. Gradually, I became more confident and less shy. Finally, I attended the diving test again and performed well. This time, my classmates cheered and clapped. I was so glad. I knew my success resulted from my beating my shyness and my hard practice. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
