B “I am not crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. “I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine — combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine. Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets. Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment. Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal. That’s my job.” 41. What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him? A. He’s odd. B. He’s strict. C. He’s brave. D. He’s rude. 42. Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets? A. He was trained in it at university. B. He was inspired by another veterinarian. C. He benefited from it as a patient. D. He wanted to save money for pet owners. 43. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B. The complexity of veterinarians’ work. C. Examples of rare animal diseases. D. The effectiveness of holistic medicine. 44. Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association? A. To prove Farber’s point. B. To emphasize its importance. C. To praise veterinarians. D. To advocate animal protection. 45. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. The history of holistic medicine in America. B. The differences between Western and holistic treatments. C. A veterinarian who uses holistic medicine to treat animals. D. The difficulties Dr. Farber faces with his unusual methods. C The Stanford marshmallow (棉花糖) test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed on a table. Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room. Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connection between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success. As adults, we face a version of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted (诱惑) by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers. We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat. A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized (高度重视) new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now endlessly bombarded (轰炸) with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful about our caloric consumption, we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively. 46. What did the children need to do to get a second treat in Mischel’s test? A. Take an examination alone. B. Show respect for the researchers. C. Share their treats with others. D. Delay eating for fifteen minutes. 47. According to paragraph 3, there is a mismatch between ______. A. the calorie-poor world and our good appetites B. the shortage of sugar and our nutritional needs C. the rich food supply and our unchanged brains D. the tempting foods and our efforts to keep fit 48. What does the author suggest readers do? A. Be selective information consumers. B. Use diverse information sources. C. Absorb new information readily. D. Protect the information environment. 49. What can we learn from the passage? A. Adults don’t need to learn from the marshmallow test anymore B. The information environment now is similar to the past in terms of richness C. Both food temptation and information temptation come from the mismatch between environment and brain mechanism D. People who resisted marshmallow temptation as kids will never give in to any temptation as adults 50. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Eat Less, Read More B. The Marshmallow Test for Grownups C. The Marshmallow Test for Children. D. The Bitter Truth about Early Humans 五、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 My name is Clara. I still remember that chilly December day, sitting in science class. I’d finished a worksheet early and picked up a Time for Kids magazine. A piece of news caught my eye. NASA was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover (火星探测器). Before I even knew anything else about it, a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind: Curiosity. I couldn’t wait for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay. That afternoon, I raced home, sat down at the computer, and typed until my fingers ached. “Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone’s mind…” Five months later, my mom received a phone call, and immediately, a wide smile spread across her face. On August 5, 2012, at 10:31 p.m., the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars, and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA. Curiosity is such an important part of who I am. I have always been fascinated by the stars, the planets, the sky and the universe. I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours. She’d tell me stories and point out the stars. Grandma lived in China, thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas, but the stars kept us together even when we were apart. They were always there, yet there was so much I didn’t know about them. That’s what I love so much about space. People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mars. My answer is simple because we’re curious. We human beings do not just hole up in one place. We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon. 51. How did Clara get the news about the essay contest? (no more than 10 words) 52. Why did Clara have a front-row seat in NASA? (no more than 10 words) 53. What does Clara remember about the time spent with Grandma? (no more than 15 words) 54. What does the underlined phrase “hole up” mean? (1 word) 55. In your opinion, why is curiosity important? (no more than 20 words) 六、书面表达（15分） 56. 假设你是中学生李华，你的英国朋友Chris在最近的一封邮件中提到，他想改掉每天长时间玩网络游戏的习惯，做更好的自己。请按以下提示写封回信： (1)你也打算改掉的一个习惯(或缺点，不足)； (2)它给你的学习或生活带来的影响； (3)你的计划和决心。 注意： (1)词数不少于 80字； (2)可适当加入细节，使内容充实，行文连贯。 Dear Chris， ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 天津市嘉诚中学2025-2026学年度第一学期第二次质量调查 高二年级英语学科 （考试时长：100分钟 总分：100分） 一、听力 第一节（共5小题；每小题1分，共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。 1.

Inspired by your plan, I am determined to get rid of my bad habit of staying up late. Without enough sleep, I can’t concentrate on class. As a result, I do poorly in most of my subjects and it’s hard for me to keep up with my classmates. What makes it worse is that insufficient sleep has affected my health. I intend to develop a sleeping habit of going to bed before 11 pm every day. It will be of great benefit to my future study and health. Let’s try our best to improve ourselves together.
