Passage 1
(2024-2025学年江西省南昌中学三经路校区高二上学期1月期末英语试题)When Judy was younger, she thought that her grandmother was the best cook in the entire world. Every time she visited her grandmother with her family she would be treated to lots of delicious food — buttery shortbread cookies and plates of crispy cheese crackers to snack on; piles of pancakes for breakfast; golden fried chickens and thick, hearty soups for dinner. No one would ever leave hungry or sad when they visited grandmother’s house.
But, as Judy grew older, she started to notice that her grandmother had begun to cook less and less.The complicated meals grew simpler, and the visits to her grandmother’s beautiful life-filled home grew fewer. Eventually, Samantha’s parents told her the truth: her grandmother had arthritis(关节炎) in her hands, which meant it was too painful for her to cook the elegant dishes.
“Why don’t we visit grandmother and just get food from a restaurant?” she asked. It seemed to her too cruel just to visit when her grandmother could cook for them and to pay no visit when her grandmother was sick.
Her parents smiled, appreciating their daughter’s kind heart, and told her they had suggested this but the idea had been rejected, “Your grandmother loves cooking. It saddens her to be reminded that she can’t share her food any more because of her illness.” Judy told her parents she understood, but she silently determined to find a way to help.
A few weeks later, Judy stopped by her grandmother’s house to deliver some groceries. As she carefully put away the boxes and cans in the kitchen cabinets, Judy discovered something she had never seen before. Sitting on one of the highest shelves was a small wooden box. Her curiosity aroused, Judy took the box down from the shelf and opened the lid.
Inside were hundreds of index cards and on each one was a hand-written recipe (食谱)! Her hands shaking with excitement, Judy flipped through the cards. She recognized all of her grandmother’s classic recipes — the cookies, the pancakes, the soups. They were all here!

Judy knew now what she would do to cheer her grandmother up.

Judy knew now what she would do to cheer her grandmother up. She searched through the box of cards until she found her grandmother’s recipe for pancakes — everyone’s favorite. Then, moving quietly so that she wouldn’t disturb her grandmother in the next room, she began to gather the ingredients and cook her first pancake. As the wonderful smell of fresh pancakes began to fill the kitchen, Judy smiled. She couldn’t cook any of the more complicated dishes, but pancakes were always a wonderful treat. There came a soft sound from the door to the kitchen. It was her grandmother.
Judy smiled at her grandmother, who was looking at the scene in surprise. “Cooking food for someone is a way to say I love you,” Judy chuckled but was shocked to see tears glistening in the corners of her grandmother’s eyes. Her grandmother hurried to reassure her these were tears of joy. As they sat down to enjoy their plates of pancakes together, her grandmother offered to teach Judy how to cook the rest of the elegant dishes in the recipe box. Cooking together is, after all, just as much of an expression of love as cooking for someone.

Passage 2
(2024-2025学年湖北省武汉市常青联合体高二上学期期末考试英语试题)I stared at the grayish mass my mom had dropped next to my corn. She knew how to make seven meals. That was all. Each of her meals began with the same letter as the day of the week, like Fish Fridays and Spaghetti Saturdays. Today was Meatloaf(肉糕) Monday, again.
I pushed my food back and forth on my plate, watching the sad meatloaf spread around. Noticing that, Jeanie pushed her plate away too. At eleven, I should have set an example for my younger sister. But today, I felt out of sorts. I grabbed the salt shaker and pointedly shook it all over my food to show my dislike. A look of hurt and disappointment crossed my mom’s face.
The next day, our teacher announced a cooking competition to finish off our unit on kitchen skills. It would be like the show MiniChef, where contestants created dishes using only the provided ingredients (材料). The difference was that we all had to make a specific dish assigned by the judges within an hour. As he revealed the grand prize — the newest book in the Cave of the Dragons series — the class erupted in cheers. The book was a treasure, nearly impossible to find.
At break, everyone was talking about the competition, wondering which dish we would be asked to make. Tania, my best friend, was confident she would win. She claimed to have her dad’s genes and her dad was an amazing cook. My thoughts shifted to my family. I couldn’t help but wish my mom were a professional chef; then I wouldn’t be stuck with the repetitive meatloaf. To be honest, it tasted good, but I was just tired of it.
On the day of the competition, I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. As we filed into the kitchen classroom, the judges handed out the ingredients: beef, onions, eggs, and seasonings(调料). Since I had learned accurate measuring, food preparation and cooking techniques this term, I felt confident to cook with creativity.

Then the judges announced that the dish we had to make was meatloaf. I couldn’t believe my ears. Meatloaf? The dish I had seen my mom make countless times? Memories of my mom preparing meatloaf came flooding back. I began combining the beef with the onions. As I stirred them, I could almost hear Mom’s voice instructing me. To add a personal touch, I even used tomato sauce. As I baked the meatloaf, the familiar smell floated up, reminding me of Meatloaf Mondays at home. With the timer finally going off, I pulled my meatloaf out.
I looked at my creation proudly, waiting for the judges to taste it. When they reached me, I held my breath. They took a bite, nodded, and moved on. After all the dishes were tasted, the judges announced the winner. To my astonishment, it was me! Winning the book was amazing, but what mattered more was the newfound appreciation I had for my mom. From that day on, Meatloaf Monday became a family favorite, not because of the dish itself, but because of what it represented: love, effort, and the ability to make the best out of any situation.

话题2人与社会—艺术(音乐/美术/诗歌)
Passage 1
(2024-2025学年河北省高二上学期1月期末联考英语试题)I have always been passionate about music. Playing the guitar felt natural, almost as if it were an extension of myself. Whenever I picked it up, melodies (旋律) flowed effortlessly. Yet, despite this ease with playing, writing my own songs felt like an entirely different world. It wasn’t a lack of ideas — I had countless pieces of thoughts and emotions swirling in my mind. But every time I sat down to write, my focus wandered, and the blank page before me seemed to laugh at me with its emptiness.
For years, I convinced myself that songwriting wasn’t in my nature. I admired musicians who could translate their feelings into words so gracefully, creating lyrics(歌词) that struck a chord(和弦) with listeners. When I tried, the result felt awkward and forced, as if the emotions I wanted to capture had slipped through my fingers. Instead, I stuck to performing covers of my favorite songs, finding comfort in recreating what others had already perfected. My parents often urged me to write my own music, saying, “You have so much to say — why not put it into a song?” But I always had an excuse: “I’m too busy,” or “What if it’s terrible and no one likes it?”
Last summer, everything changed. One afternoon, my best friend, Mia, handed me her journal. It wasn’t just a notebook; it was a treasure collection of poems, fragments of stories, and raw, heartfelt reflections she had written over the years. Her writing was unpolished, sometimes messy, but deeply moving. She smiled and said, “I thought this might give you some inspiration.”
That evening, I looked through her journal, a line jumped out at me: “The rain doesn’t ask for permission to fall — it just does.” Those words sparked something deep within me. I picked up my guitar, played a few chords, and, almost as if guided by the words, a song began to take shape. It wasn’t perfect, but for the first time, it was mine.

The next day, I gathered the courage to play the song for Mia.

The small success inspired me to write more songs.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【参考范文】
The next day, I gathered the courage to play the song for Mia. With trembling hands and a racing heartbeat, I picked up my guitar and started to play for Mia. As the melody filled the room, the lyrics spoke of weakness and hope, reflecting my deepest emotions. When the final chord lingered in the air, Mia’s face lit up with genuine admiration. “That was beautiful,” she said softly, her voice filled with warmth. Her words washed over me like sunlight breaking through clouds, melting my insecurities. For the first time, I believed that my voice — my music — mattered.
The small success inspired me to write more songs. I let go of the fear of imperfection and focused instead on letting my emotions guide me. Some days, the ideas flowed easily, while on others, I struggled to capture even a single thought. But I kept going, writing about everything from brief moments of joy to my deepest fears. Through this process, I discovered that music wasn’t about impressing others; it was about connection — sharing my feelings and experiences in a way that words alone couldn’t. With every song I wrote, I grew more confident, not just as a musician but as someone who finally found their own voice.

Passage 2
(2024-2025学年江苏省南通市区,启东市和盐城部分学校高二上学期期末联考英语试题)I liked things going according to my plans. But lately there had been lots of troubles in my life. My daughter Gabby had a disease, making it difficult for me to focus on my job. One day, I went for a walk on the beach. It was something I’d been too busy to do before. As I slowly walked, looking at the blue sky and sea, my mood gradually lightened.
On my way home, I came across an art supply store. Attracted by the beautiful decorations, I walked inside. I hadn’t painted since I was a child, and I had already forgotten what most of the tools were for. Therefore, I decided to leave after a while. Just then, a young man approached and asked whether I needed any help. I wanted to say no and get out of the store. But soon I changed my mind and replied, “I would like to paint, but I don’t know what to buy.”
“My dad is an artist. I can show you everything you need,” the young man offered. He carefully picked out a set of paints and recommended brushes and other necessary things. “Have fun!” he added before I left. “I expect you to show me a painting the next time you come in here.”
I smiled weakly. Not likely, I thought. Yet that night, after Gabby went to sleep, I set up the easel(画架) and the tools in the dining room and decided to give it a try. What should I paint? I closed my eyes. Suddenly, I could imagine the blueness of the sky connected with the deeper, darker shades(色调) of the sea. I took a deep breath and began to draw.
I kept painting for the next few weeks. Whenever I felt stressed, I painted, and then I could forget all my troubles. I used my phone to take pictures of my paintings, so I could carry that feeling of peace with me. One afternoon, when I ran out of canvases (画布), I returned to the store to get some more.

He listened patiently, offering tips on new techniques and materials I could try. As I left the store with fresh supplies, I felt a sense of relaxation and confidence.

I gladly agreed and set up a small easel for her beside mine. Painting together became our special family time, full of creativity and laughter.

I gradually realized that although life hadn’t gone according to my original plans, it had also brought some pleasant surprises.

Passage 3
(2024-2025学年广东省广州市番禺区高二上学期期末统考英语试卷)Mary was the art teacher for primary school students. On this particular day, she was guiding them through the process of drawing a scenic landscape. Akila yawned(打哈欠), clearly disinterested - drawing wasn’t her thing. A small group of students gathered around Tina, laughing at her unusual drawing: a sun sporting sunglasses and trees topped with ice cream cones.
Mary instructed Tina firmly but with unease, “Draw it the way I showed you.” As the lesson continued, doubt crept into Mary’s mind. Had the joy of creativity been overshadowed by the pressure to fit in? She scanned the room, observing her students’ faces – some concentrated, others uncertain. Akila’s disinterest was clear and Tina’s imaginative drawing had been met with ridicule instead of praise.
After class, Mary sat down with Tina, her tone softening, “Why did you draw the sun with sunglasses and the trees with ice creams?” she asked gently.
Tina’s eyes sparkled with a touch of rebellion(叛逆)-“I love ice cream, and I thought the sun would look cool with sunglasses. Why do we always have to draw like everyone else?”
Mary paused, her thoughts racing. Tina’s drawings weren’t just curious —they were a window into a world where imagination ruled, where rales could be bent into delightful chaos. Was she, by enforcing a rigid style, killing that very creativity?
The next morning, Mary walked into the classroom with a renewed sense of purpose. She placed a large sheet of paper in front of the class and announced a new project: they would create a collective(集体的)artwork titled “Our Dream World” with no rules. They were free to use colors, shapes, and patterns however they wished.
At first, the students hesitated, unsure of this newfound freedom. Akila leaned back, skeptical of what seemed like another pointless exercise. But Tina, her creativity no longer restricted, eagerly grabbed her crayons and began to draw with abandon. Then, Maya joined in. And then Michael...

Paragraph 1: As the students worked. Mary observed them with curiosity. She noticed how Akila, initially disinterested, had quietly chosen vibrant colors and was now blending them together to create a swirling sky filled with fantastical creatures that flew over a stone castle. Meanwhile, Tina was enthusiastically adding playful details to her section of the paper-a whimsical garden where flowers wore hats and creatures rested on the ice cream-topped trees. Mary felt a wave of relief washed over her. The room was alive with chatter and laughter, as Akila and Tina frequently exchanged ideas and inspired one another. Akila even leaned over to admire Tina’s ice cream trees and said, “That is mind-blowing!” It was wonderful to see them cooperate, their initial differences melting away in the warmth of shared creativity.
Paragraph 2: Mary stood back and surveyed the creation. The enomious canvas had transformed into a magnificent portrayal of each student’s imagination, forming a breathtaking landscape that reflected their individuality yet spoke to their collective spirit. Mary felt a sense of pride swell within her; she realized that in letting go of rigid structures, her students gave their painting an unrealistic but dream-like quality. Akila, Tina, and the rest of the class had not only embraced their own creative paths but had also nurtured each other’s ideas. They were thrilled, “It was the best painting ever! We should definitely hang it on the wall!” Inspired by the moment, Mary decided to host an exhibition of their dream world, inviting parents and other classes to admire the beauty of imagination unleashed in her classroom.

He decided to have a heart-to-heart conversation with her. “Nancy,” Mr. White said genuinely, “there might be problems, but your writing is a gift, and you should share it with the world.”
Nancy’s eyes welled up with tears. “But what if I fail? What if they laugh at me?” Mr. White placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. “Failure is a part of life, Nancy. It’s how we learn and grow. And even if they laugh, remember that your words have the power to touch hearts and change minds.”
Back home, Nancy told her parents about the program and gained their support, with which Nancy was a little more relieved. She registered for the workshop as required and got admitted successfully. Thrilled and nervous, she went to the workshop managed by the Rockerfeller University.

We got to throw our first punches(拳击) and learned how we should stand. I still didn’t know how to do it well, but I felt that choosing the boxing class was a right decision. Mr. Vernon, our boxing teacher, made us work hard and sweat. The boxing pads(防护垫) were my favorite, but my punches weren’t strong enough.
After participating in more practices, we had learned how to punch in six different ways. The boys were improving a lot on their strength, and Lea with her speed. What about me? Well, I had a hard time seeing the difference. Mr. Vernon would always tell me that practice would make me stronger, and this was what helped motivate me to continue.
Each practice there was at least one boy who would make fun of me and say, “Oh, you’re too short to box. Mr. Vernon has to bend down when you are on the boxing pads; oh, you’re not strong enough; you punch like a mouse.”
I know those comments were not to hurt me, but just to have fun. It’s true. I’m a small and short person and I did lack confidence; but hearing those comments can either bring you down, or make you feel motivated to show them they are wrong. In my case, they started to discourage me. I didn’t have the strength to think they were wrong, and part of me thought that they were speaking the truth. I hid it inside my heart because I thought that showing I was doubting myself would make it worse.

【参考范文】One possible version:
Then came one particular practice. Somehow I was mad and angry, which made my punches suddenly stronger and faster. What amazed me was that gradually I just didn’t have that anger in me. After the practice, all my classmates burst into cheers for my great performance and Mr. Vernon also said that I was making great progress. With his praise I finally found the strength I needed. In the following practices, he was impressed with my good boxing skills, because they were getting powerful.
The experience taught me a great lesson. Boxing requires a lot of work and effort, but it has also taught me not to feel discouraged about what others say. Thanks to boxing, I have gradually realized that being short doesn’t define me. If we focus on our strong points and improve our weak ones, there is no reason for us to feel disappointed. Day by day I am becoming increasingly confident, definitely sure nothing will limit me to doing what tall or strong people can do.

Passage 3
(2024-2025学年浙江省杭州市高二上学期期末考试英语试题)I raced home from school on a bright spring day, bursting with excitement about a Canadian national fitness competition the teacher had told us about. It would be all running and jumping and sit-ups and stuff and I wanted to go for a gold medal just like in the Olympics.
Around the dinner table that night, my older sister Nancy and I both explained to Mom and Dad about this fitness test. But I knew I wasn’t very good at running long distance, so I asked my dad how I could get better at it. “What about practicing?” Dad suggested. “We could go in the evenings to the track at the high school and do some training there.” “Can we start tonight?” I asked excitedly.
We left the house holding hands and talking. I had to almost run to keep up with my six-foot-two father’s long step. Soon the high school appeared, and it seemed enormous compared to my own school building and playground. When we got there, we entered the gates onto a huge football field surrounded by an outdoor track.
I told my dad that I had to run the whole way around the track, explaining that the time it took would determine whether we scored a gold, silver, bronze, or participant medal, and added that it seemed so far. Smiling, my dad suggested that we give it a try, noting that I must already be warmed up from the walk. He chose a spot on the spectator side with a long, straight stretch to run first, and set us up to start running.
“On your mark, get set, GO!” he said, and I took off. Dad ran along beside me, and I was breathing hard by the time we made the first turn. About halfway around I stopped and cried out, “I’ll never do it, Dad. We’re not even halfway and I’m beat!” “The problem is your timing. You have to learn to pace yourself if you’re going to run the entire race. We’ll try again, start off slowly, run more steadily through the middle section, and then dash to the finish line. Let’s see how that works,” he explained as we returned to our starting place.

Paragraph 1: We began to run slowly, and my “coach” murmured encouragement. “That’s good, a bit faster now, keep breathing steadily.” This time I got more than halfway around before I began to slow down. “Okay, push yourself now,” cried Dad, and so I did. “We’re almost there!” and sure enough, we completed the circle. Every night Dad and I ran the track at least twice. I slowly grew stronger, and my pace began to improve. Race day dawned sunny and warm. The voice on the loud speaker called out the race times, and it seemed only a few moments before my event was called.
Paragraph 2: “On your mark, get set, BANG,” and the race began. I started to run and watched many of my classmates sprint off ahead. Dad’s voice echoed, “Now just run easy around this first curve and get into a rhythm and keep a steady pace.” I ran steadily, overtaking many of the fast starters. Rounding the curve, I started to pick up speed and used my arms to pump extra energy into the last section of the race. As I ran across the finish line, I heard the crowd’s cheers and saw my dad’s proud face! When the winners were announced, and the medals were awarded, we both won gold that day. I was overjoyed and thankful to my dear father.

话题4 人与自我—健康
Passage 1
(2024-2025学年山东省淄博市高二上学期1月期末英语试题)At the Flosslande restaurant, Germany waiter Paul Blachut, 24, was busy at work. It was a warm Sunday afternoon in May and many cyclists and hikers came for refreshments at this pretty place beside the Lech river. The snow water from the Alps was very cold at this time of year, and it flowed quickly.
From behind the bar, Blachut had a good view of the river; there were stone steps that stretched some 20 metres down from the restaurant to the riverbank.
Among those enjoying the cooling water were a mother and her two teenage daughters, all in long dresses. They were standing on the edge of the riverbank, playing with an inflatable(充气的) boat when, suddenly, the girls lost their footing and were caught in the river’s current.
It all happened so fast. The girls struggled to grab on to the boat, which their mother was sitting in, causing her into the river, too. Now all three were being carried away by the current.
A bystander shouted, “Three people are drowning(溺水) in the Lech!”
Blachut could only see a boat moving rapidly in the river. Then he spotted three people a short distance away, flapping their arms, trying to grasp anything they could. No one was helping them. Horrified, he saw that one of them kept sinking.
Despite having no lifesaving training, he rushed down to the riverbank, quickly taking his mobile phone, wallet and keys from his pockets and pulling off his T-shirt. Then he jumped into the cold river.
As Blachut got closer to them, he could tell that the mother seemed to be in the most trouble; her head was now almost under the water.
Without hesitation, Blachut dived under the drowning woman, pushing her upward and trying all his best to throw her forcefully towards the bank. An onlooker was able to get close enough to grab the woman’s hand, pulling her to bank.

【参考范文】
Version 1:
Blachut knew he must rescue the two daughters at once. He dived into the current again, swam quickly downstream and managed to get hold of one. Blachut gathered all his strength to push her toward the bank in the same way that he saved her mother. Looking back at the river, he could see someone was helping the other girl — a good thing. A bystander with medical training came forward and gave first aid to the girls. Exhausted and cold, Blachut sat on the bank, breathing heavily.
A bystander telephoned the nearest hospital. While waiting for the ambulance, some bystanders took care of the trembling mother and daughters. Thankfully, it was not long before an ambulance arrived and the grateful mother and daughters were sent to hospital immediately. Several onlookers expressed their admiration for the quick-thinking waiter, Blachut, but he was modest about his role. “It is everyone’s joint efforts that creates miracles,” he said, adding that it was worthwhile to have rescued someone in the cold water.
Version 2:
Blachut knew he must rescue the two daughters at once. Exhausted as he was, he dived into the current again, swam to one girl in a few quick strokes and lifted her out of the cold water. As if gathering all his strength, Blachut pushed the girl toward the riverside. With a bystander’s help, the girl was pulled onto the bank. Looking back at the river, he could see someone was helping the other girl — a good thing. By great effort, Blachut struggled to climb onto the bank, breathing heavily.
A bystander telephoned the nearest hospital. While waiting for the ambulance, some bystanders took care of the trembling mother and daughters. “Without you, we would have been drowned,” the mother expressed her gratitude to the brave young waiter. Thankfully, an ambulance arrived soon and the three were sent to hospital. Several onlookers expressed their admiration for the quick-thinking waiter, Blachut, but he was modest about his role. “It is everyone’s joint efforts that creates miracles,” he said, adding that it was worthwhile to have rescued someone in the cold water.
【导语】本文以时间为线索展开,讲述了五月的一个周日下午,在Flosslande餐厅工作的服务员Paul Blachut,看到一位母亲和两个女儿在莱赫河边玩充气船时被河水卷走。尽管未接受过救生训练,他仍跳入冰冷的河水中,先救起母亲,又救了其中一个女儿,另一个女孩也得到他人的帮助成功获救。随后她们接受急救,被送往医院,Blachut对自己的救人行为很谦虚,认为是大家共同的努力创造了奇迹。(详解以版本一为例)

Passage 2
(2024-2025学年山东省德州市高中五校联考高二上学期期末英语试题)It was the Easter holidays, and school was closed for two weeks. For me, the Easter holidays were so boring that it was impossible to find something fun to do. My mom had suggested that I do some studies since the promotion test was coming up. However, I didn’t follow my mother’s suggestion. Instead, I went outside to seek out my friends to play with. When I had successfully contacted some of my friends, none of them seemed to be much in a playful mood, but one friend Jimmy agreed to play with me. He suggested we go down to the river and just relax there. The river was not far from my home, and we arrived there quickly.
Just relaxing on the river bank with nothing but some waste logs, it wasn’t fun for us at first. Clearly what was on our minds was to jump into the river and just take a swim in the clear cool water. So we took off our clothes down to our underwear and walked into the shallow part of the water. The water was truly cool and refreshing and we were starting to have fun then, playing and laughing, as we splashed the cool water onto each other’s faces.
Then we started to chase each other around on the river bank and then we ran straight into the river. We were having so much fun that we didn’t notice danger was around the corner. Before Jimmy could know it, and before he could do anything to keep his balance, he lost his footing on a tree branch, which was in the shallow part of the water, and slipped, bringing his whole entire body into the deep water. He tried to resurface from the water but found it extremely hard to keep his head above the water.

I was scared to see him struggling in the water but I knew I must rescue him. I took a deep breath to keep calm. Looking around, I found a waste log, I threw it to him immediately and asked him to hold it and not to give up. At the same time I yelled for help, hoping someone could come to our rescue. Luckily, my mom heard my cries, rushed out of the house and raced towards us. She jumped into the water and reached out her hands to pull him. Several neighbors also quickly joined the rescue. They managed to get Jimmy out of the water. Finally, Jimmy was saved, pale and shivering.
After a while, Jimmy recovered from panic and thanked my mom and the neighbors. We hugged each other in tears. I thought my mom would scold me. But she just held us in her arms tightly. She warned us it was dangerous to swim in the river. Both of us felt ashamed and promised never to do that again. This was really a special Easter, one I would never forget. For Jimmy, he had a narrow escape from drowning. For me, I felt the kindness of my neighbors.

(2024-2025学年湖南省长沙市雅礼中学高二上学期期末考试英语试题)Derek and Shirley walked out of the airport building and into the bright sunshine. Looking up at the brilliant blue sky and then at the faraway mountains rising above the swaying palm trees, they couldn’t wait to start their holiday.
A taxi pulled up swiftly and silently. Derek dropped their suitcases into the boot and joined Shirley in the back seat. “Palm Trees Hotel, please,” Derek said excitedly. “Certainly, sir,” replied the driver, as he turned around with a flashing white smile. Derek and Shirley gave each other a puzzled look as the taxi eased smoothly into the traffic. “Excuse me, er, your face seems very familiar—in fact, you remind us of that famous film star, Rocky Overton... but of course, you can’t be.”
Derek and Shirley sat in silent disbelief as the driver explained that he was not a real person, but a robot made to look like a famous actor. “Rocky” explained that the taxi company had purchased the latest model of robot drivers since they were programmed to be safer and more reliable than human drivers. “So, here I am,” “Rocky” continued, “your first robot taxi driver!”
Derek and Shirley held each other’s hands more tightly. “Relax,” “Rocky” reassured them, “there is nothing for you to worry about. I can assure you that my driving skills are excellent. I’m equipped with perfect vision and superior reactions, and I know every street in the city. I am instantly updated with the latest traffic information so that I can avoid traffic jams and get you to your destination in the quickest and least stressful manner. Please sit back, relax and enjoy the journey.”
Derek and Shirley, feeling a little better, leaned back in their seats and closed their eyes. “And another thing,” “Rocky” added, “my line of robots represents the ultimate in computer technology. I am beautifully designed, made from only the best materials and subject to the strictest quality checks. Therefore, you are entirely safe with me. Nothing could possibly go wrong ... could possibly go wrong ... go wrong ... go wrong ...”

With trembling fingers, he called the taxi company. “Hello?” Derek shouted into the phone, “Our robot driver is having a breakdown and he’s completely out of control. We need help quickly!”
“Don’t worry, sir,” came the calm reply on the phone, “And your taxi is also a driverless car.” The reply continued , “We have the authority to disable the robot driver. Let me switch your taxi to the driverless mode and get you to your destination safely.” The taxi immediately slowed down and continued as if nothing had happened, although its driver could be heard mumbling to himself, “... go wrong ... go wrong ...” .

Passage 2
(2024-2025学年江西省九江市匡庐星瀚高级中学高二上学期1月期末英语试题)In 2018, 17-year-old Hemesh spent a life-changing summer with his grandmother Anne, who had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Witnessing the impact of the disease firsthand, Hemesh was awakened to the seriousness of the situation.
One night, Hemesh walked into the kitchen only to discover that his grandmother had left the gas stove(炉) on after making tea. Shocked by the dangerous consequences Alzheimer’s disease could bring about, he couldn’t help but wonder what might have happened if he hadn’t been there.
Hemesh’s worries increased as he observed his grandmother’s behavior. She would wake up in the early hours of the morning, believing she was on a train, and wander outside aimlessly. This wandering tendency could potentially lead her to get lost or put herself in risky situations.
Determined to make a difference, Hemesh engaged himself in extensive research about Alzheimer’s disease and its symptomatic (症状的) progression. Through his studies, he discovered that wandering was a common problem among dementia patients, especially those with Alzheimer’s disease.
Inspired by his newfound knowledge and fueled by his desire to help, Hemesh told his family, “I can’t just stand by and watch this happen. I need to do something to keep Grandma safe. I think I have an idea that might help not just her, but others in similar situations.”
With firm determination, he developed an inventive answer to the wandering dilemma, a device he called the Guardian Companion. It was a wearable device, similar to a smartwatch, specifically designed for Alzheimer’s patients. It integrated advanced GPS technology and a panic button to assist those who tended to wander, ensuring their safety and well-being. After the device got its official approval, Hemesh happily went to try it on for his grandmother.

As Anne put on the Guardian Companion, Hemesh explained how it worked. He reassured her that it would help keep her safe. With a mixture of curiosity and skepticism, Anne agreed to give it a try. The device fit comfortably on her wrist. Hemesh walked his grandmother through the features, showing her how to use the panic button. Anne’s eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope, and for the first time since her diagnosis, she felt a sense of regained independence.
In the next few weeks, the device made a difference to Anne and her family. Not only did it provide a sense of security for Anne, but it also relieved the constant worry for her loved ones. The device brought peace of mind to the entire family, knowing that Anne was protected even when they couldn’t be by her side. Hemesh’s creation had truly transformed dementia care, and he found himself on a new mission to make the device accessible to as many people as possible, ensuring that no one had to face the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease alone.
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了2018年,17岁的Hemesh和被诊断患有阿尔茨海默病的祖母Anne度过了一个改变人生的夏天。Hemesh亲眼目睹了这种疾病对祖母的影响的严重性,主要表现为“闲荡”。出于对于祖母安全的考虑,凭着坚定的决心,他发明了一种可穿戴装置,类似于智能手表,专门为患有阿尔茨海默病患者设计。通过该装置的使用,祖母不仅在人身安全方面得到了保障,也在精神上有了自由保证。不仅如此,Hemesh希望可以对该装置进行跟进和改善,以适用于更多的患有阿尔茨海默病的人。

Passage 1
(2024-2025学年江西省南昌中学三经路校区高二上学期1月期末英语试题)When Judy was younger, she thought that her grandmother was the best cook in the entire world. Every time she visited her grandmother with her family she would be treated to lots of delicious food — buttery shortbread cookies and plates of crispy cheese crackers to snack on; piles of pancakes for breakfast; golden fried chickens and thick, hearty soups for dinner. No one would ever leave hungry or sad when they visited grandmother’s house.
But, as Judy grew older, she started to notice that her grandmother had begun to cook less and less.The complicated meals grew simpler, and the visits to her grandmother’s beautiful life-filled home grew fewer. Eventually, Samantha’s parents told her the truth: her grandmother had arthritis(关节炎) in her hands, which meant it was too painful for her to cook the elegant dishes.
“Why don’t we visit grandmother and just get food from a restaurant?” she asked. It seemed to her too cruel just to visit when her grandmother could cook for them and to pay no visit when her grandmother was sick.
Her parents smiled, appreciating their daughter’s kind heart, and told her they had suggested this but the idea had been rejected, “Your grandmother loves cooking. It saddens her to be reminded that she can’t share her food any more because of her illness.” Judy told her parents she understood, but she silently determined to find a way to help.
A few weeks later, Judy stopped by her grandmother’s house to deliver some groceries. As she carefully put away the boxes and cans in the kitchen cabinets, Judy discovered something she had never seen before. Sitting on one of the highest shelves was a small wooden box. Her curiosity aroused, Judy took the box down from the shelf and opened the lid.
Inside were hundreds of index cards and on each one was a hand-written recipe (食谱)! Her hands shaking with excitement, Judy flipped through the cards. She recognized all of her grandmother’s classic recipes — the cookies, the pancakes, the soups. They were all here!
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。
Judy knew now what she would do to cheer her grandmother up.

Passage 2
(2024-2025学年湖北省武汉市常青联合体高二上学期期末考试英语试题)I stared at the grayish mass my mom had dropped next to my corn. She knew how to make seven meals. That was all. Each of her meals began with the same letter as the day of the week, like Fish Fridays and Spaghetti Saturdays. Today was Meatloaf(肉糕) Monday, again.
I pushed my food back and forth on my plate, watching the sad meatloaf spread around. Noticing that, Jeanie pushed her plate away too. At eleven, I should have set an example for my younger sister. But today, I felt out of sorts. I grabbed the salt shaker and pointedly shook it all over my food to show my dislike. A look of hurt and disappointment crossed my mom’s face.
The next day, our teacher announced a cooking competition to finish off our unit on kitchen skills. It would be like the show MiniChef, where contestants created dishes using only the provided ingredients (材料). The difference was that we all had to make a specific dish assigned by the judges within an hour. As he revealed the grand prize — the newest book in the Cave of the Dragons series — the class erupted in cheers. The book was a treasure, nearly impossible to find.
At break, everyone was talking about the competition, wondering which dish we would be asked to make. Tania, my best friend, was confident she would win. She claimed to have her dad’s genes and her dad was an amazing cook. My thoughts shifted to my family. I couldn’t help but wish my mom were a professional chef; then I wouldn’t be stuck with the repetitive meatloaf. To be honest, it tasted good, but I was just tired of it.
On the day of the competition, I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. As we filed into the kitchen classroom, the judges handed out the ingredients: beef, onions, eggs, and seasonings(调料). Since I had learned accurate measuring, food preparation and cooking techniques this term, I felt confident to cook with creativity.

话题2人与社会—艺术(音乐/美术/诗歌)
Passage 1
(2024-2025学年河北省高二上学期1月期末联考英语试题)I have always been passionate about music. Playing the guitar felt natural, almost as if it were an extension of myself. Whenever I picked it up, melodies (旋律) flowed effortlessly. Yet, despite this ease with playing, writing my own songs felt like an entirely different world. It wasn’t a lack of ideas — I had countless pieces of thoughts and emotions swirling in my mind. But every time I sat down to write, my focus wandered, and the blank page before me seemed to laugh at me with its emptiness.
For years, I convinced myself that songwriting wasn’t in my nature. I admired musicians who could translate their feelings into words so gracefully, creating lyrics(歌词) that struck a chord(和弦) with listeners. When I tried, the result felt awkward and forced, as if the emotions I wanted to capture had slipped through my fingers. Instead, I stuck to performing covers of my favorite songs, finding comfort in recreating what others had already perfected. My parents often urged me to write my own music, saying, “You have so much to say — why not put it into a song?” But I always had an excuse: “I’m too busy,” or “What if it’s terrible and no one likes it?”
Last summer, everything changed. One afternoon, my best friend, Mia, handed me her journal. It wasn’t just a notebook; it was a treasure collection of poems, fragments of stories, and raw, heartfelt reflections she had written over the years. Her writing was unpolished, sometimes messy, but deeply moving. She smiled and said, “I thought this might give you some inspiration.”
That evening, I looked through her journal, a line jumped out at me: “The rain doesn’t ask for permission to fall — it just does.” Those words sparked something deep within me. I picked up my guitar, played a few chords, and, almost as if guided by the words, a song began to take shape. It wasn’t perfect, but for the first time, it was mine.

The next day, I gathered the courage to play the song for Mia.

Passage 2
(2024-2025学年江苏省南通市区,启东市和盐城部分学校高二上学期期末联考英语试题)I liked things going according to my plans. But lately there had been lots of troubles in my life. My daughter Gabby had a disease, making it difficult for me to focus on my job. One day, I went for a walk on the beach. It was something I’d been too busy to do before. As I slowly walked, looking at the blue sky and sea, my mood gradually lightened.
On my way home, I came across an art supply store. Attracted by the beautiful decorations, I walked inside. I hadn’t painted since I was a child, and I had already forgotten what most of the tools were for. Therefore, I decided to leave after a while. Just then, a young man approached and asked whether I needed any help. I wanted to say no and get out of the store. But soon I changed my mind and replied, “I would like to paint, but I don’t know what to buy.”
“My dad is an artist. I can show you everything you need,” the young man offered. He carefully picked out a set of paints and recommended brushes and other necessary things. “Have fun!” he added before I left. “I expect you to show me a painting the next time you come in here.”
I smiled weakly. Not likely, I thought. Yet that night, after Gabby went to sleep, I set up the easel(画架) and the tools in the dining room and decided to give it a try. What should I paint? I closed my eyes. Suddenly, I could imagine the blueness of the sky connected with the deeper, darker shades(色调) of the sea. I took a deep breath and began to draw.
I kept painting for the next few weeks. Whenever I felt stressed, I painted, and then I could forget all my troubles. I used my phone to take pictures of my paintings, so I could carry that feeling of peace with me. One afternoon, when I ran out of canvases (画布), I returned to the store to get some more.

Passage 3
(2024-2025学年广东省广州市番禺区高二上学期期末统考英语试卷)Mary was the art teacher for primary school students. On this particular day, she was guiding them through the process of drawing a scenic landscape. Akila yawned(打哈欠), clearly disinterested - drawing wasn’t her thing. A small group of students gathered around Tina, laughing at her unusual drawing: a sun sporting sunglasses and trees topped with ice cream cones.
Mary instructed Tina firmly but with unease, “Draw it the way I showed you.” As the lesson continued, doubt crept into Mary’s mind. Had the joy of creativity been overshadowed by the pressure to fit in? She scanned the room, observing her students’ faces – some concentrated, others uncertain. Akila’s disinterest was clear and Tina’s imaginative drawing had been met with ridicule instead of praise.
After class, Mary sat down with Tina, her tone softening, “Why did you draw the sun with sunglasses and the trees with ice creams?” she asked gently.
Tina’s eyes sparkled with a touch of rebellion(叛逆)-“I love ice cream, and I thought the sun would look cool with sunglasses. Why do we always have to draw like everyone else?”
Mary paused, her thoughts racing. Tina’s drawings weren’t just curious —they were a window into a world where imagination ruled, where rales could be bent into delightful chaos. Was she, by enforcing a rigid style, killing that very creativity?
The next morning, Mary walked into the classroom with a renewed sense of purpose. She placed a large sheet of paper in front of the class and announced a new project: they would create a collective(集体的)artwork titled “Our Dream World” with no rules. They were free to use colors, shapes, and patterns however they wished.
At first, the students hesitated, unsure of this newfound freedom. Akila leaned back, skeptical of what seemed like another pointless exercise. But Tina, her creativity no longer restricted, eagerly grabbed her crayons and began to draw with abandon. Then, Maya joined in. And then Michael...

Passage 1
(2024-2025学年福建省莆田市莆田第九中学高上学期期末考试英语试题)Teenage girl, Nancy Hardson was the cherished daughter of the Hardsons, Tom and Mary, who, though not wealthy, were honest and hardworking. Tom worked as an accountant, while Mary was a cashier at a local supermarket. Despite their modest income, they stressed in family the values of integrity, perseverance, and a love for learning.
Nancy was a bright and talented girl with a particular passion for writing. She loved to weave stories and express her thoughts through words. One day, Nancy met with an advertisement for The Scholastic Workshop, a renowned(有名的) student writing camp with a wide range of categories, including writing techniques, taking seminars on essay improvement, meeting published writers, and a writing contest, with the biggest prize being 1,000 dollars.
The thought of participating filled Nancy with both excitement and worry. She knew she had the talent, but the fear of failure discouraged her. Nancy’s teacher, Mr. White, knew well about her talent in writing and encouraged her to pursue her dream. He also knew clearly what the girl was worried about. He decided to have a heart-to-heart conversation with her. “Nancy,” Mr. White said genuinely, “there might be problems, but your writing is a gift, and you should share it with the world.”
Nancy’s eyes welled up with tears. “But what if I fail? What if they laugh at me?” Mr. White placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. “Failure is a part of life, Nancy. It’s how we learn and grow. And even if they laugh, remember that your words have the power to touch hearts and change minds.”
Back home, Nancy told her parents about the program and gained their support, with which Nancy was a little more relieved. She registered for the workshop as required and got admitted successfully. Thrilled and nervous, she went to the workshop managed by the Rockerfeller University.

Passage 2
(2024-2025学年河南省郑州市高二上学期期末考试英语试题)In Grade 9 I joined boxing classes. My friend Lea and I were the only girls in the class.
We got to throw our first punches(拳击) and learned how we should stand. I still didn’t know how to do it well, but I felt that choosing the boxing class was a right decision. Mr. Vernon, our boxing teacher, made us work hard and sweat. The boxing pads(防护垫) were my favorite, but my punches weren’t strong enough.
After participating in more practices, we had learned how to punch in six different ways. The boys were improving a lot on their strength, and Lea with her speed. What about me? Well, I had a hard time seeing the difference. Mr. Vernon would always tell me that practice would make me stronger, and this was what helped motivate me to continue.
Each practice there was at least one boy who would make fun of me and say, “Oh, you’re too short to box. Mr. Vernon has to bend down when you are on the boxing pads; oh, you’re not strong enough; you punch like a mouse.”
I know those comments were not to hurt me, but just to have fun. It’s true. I’m a small and short person and I did lack confidence; but hearing those comments can either bring you down, or make you feel motivated to show them they are wrong. In my case, they started to discourage me. I didn’t have the strength to think they were wrong, and part of me thought that they were speaking the truth. I hid it inside my heart because I thought that showing I was doubting myself would make it worse.

Passage 3
(2024-2025学年浙江省杭州市高二上学期期末考试英语试题)I raced home from school on a bright spring day, bursting with excitement about a Canadian national fitness competition the teacher had told us about. It would be all running and jumping and sit-ups and stuff and I wanted to go for a gold medal just like in the Olympics.
Around the dinner table that night, my older sister Nancy and I both explained to Mom and Dad about this fitness test. But I knew I wasn’t very good at running long distance, so I asked my dad how I could get better at it. “What about practicing?” Dad suggested. “We could go in the evenings to the track at the high school and do some training there.” “Can we start tonight?” I asked excitedly.
We left the house holding hands and talking. I had to almost run to keep up with my six-foot-two father’s long step. Soon the high school appeared, and it seemed enormous compared to my own school building and playground. When we got there, we entered the gates onto a huge football field surrounded by an outdoor track.
I told my dad that I had to run the whole way around the track, explaining that the time it took would determine whether we scored a gold, silver, bronze, or participant medal, and added that it seemed so far. Smiling, my dad suggested that we give it a try, noting that I must already be warmed up from the walk. He chose a spot on the spectator side with a long, straight stretch to run first, and set us up to start running.
“On your mark, get set, GO!” he said, and I took off. Dad ran along beside me, and I was breathing hard by the time we made the first turn. About halfway around I stopped and cried out, “I’ll never do it, Dad. We’re not even halfway and I’m beat!” “The problem is your timing. You have to learn to pace yourself if you’re going to run the entire race. We’ll try again, start off slowly, run more steadily through the middle section, and then dash to the finish line. Let’s see how that works,” he explained as we returned to our starting place.

Passage 1
(2024-2025学年山东省淄博市高二上学期1月期末英语试题)At the Flosslande restaurant, Germany waiter Paul Blachut, 24, was busy at work. It was a warm Sunday afternoon in May and many cyclists and hikers came for refreshments at this pretty place beside the Lech river. The snow water from the Alps was very cold at this time of year, and it flowed quickly.
From behind the bar, Blachut had a good view of the river; there were stone steps that stretched some 20 metres down from the restaurant to the riverbank.
Among those enjoying the cooling water were a mother and her two teenage daughters, all in long dresses. They were standing on the edge of the riverbank, playing with an inflatable(充气的) boat when, suddenly, the girls lost their footing and were caught in the river’s current.
It all happened so fast. The girls struggled to grab on to the boat, which their mother was sitting in, causing her into the river, too. Now all three were being carried away by the current.
A bystander shouted, “Three people are drowning(溺水) in the Lech!”
Blachut could only see a boat moving rapidly in the river. Then he spotted three people a short distance away, flapping their arms, trying to grasp anything they could. No one was helping them. Horrified, he saw that one of them kept sinking.
Despite having no lifesaving training, he rushed down to the riverbank, quickly taking his mobile phone, wallet and keys from his pockets and pulling off his T-shirt. Then he jumped into the cold river.
As Blachut got closer to them, he could tell that the mother seemed to be in the most trouble; her head was now almost under the water.
Without hesitation, Blachut dived under the drowning woman, pushing her upward and trying all his best to throw her forcefully towards the bank. An onlooker was able to get close enough to grab the woman’s hand, pulling her to bank.

Passage 2
(2024-2025学年山东省德州市高中五校联考高二上学期期末英语试题)It was the Easter holidays, and school was closed for two weeks. For me, the Easter holidays were so boring that it was impossible to find something fun to do. My mom had suggested that I do some studies since the promotion test was coming up. However, I didn’t follow my mother’s suggestion. Instead, I went outside to seek out my friends to play with. When I had successfully contacted some of my friends, none of them seemed to be much in a playful mood, but one friend Jimmy agreed to play with me. He suggested we go down to the river and just relax there. The river was not far from my home, and we arrived there quickly.
Just relaxing on the river bank with nothing but some waste logs, it wasn’t fun for us at first. Clearly what was on our minds was to jump into the river and just take a swim in the clear cool water. So we took off our clothes down to our underwear and walked into the shallow part of the water. The water was truly cool and refreshing and we were starting to have fun then, playing and laughing, as we splashed the cool water onto each other’s faces.
Then we started to chase each other around on the river bank and then we ran straight into the river. We were having so much fun that we didn’t notice danger was around the corner. Before Jimmy could know it, and before he could do anything to keep his balance, he lost his footing on a tree branch, which was in the shallow part of the water, and slipped, bringing his whole entire body into the deep water. He tried to resurface from the water but found it extremely hard to keep his head above the water.

Passage 1
(2024-2025学年湖南省长沙市雅礼中学高二上学期期末考试英语试题)Derek and Shirley walked out of the airport building and into the bright sunshine. Looking up at the brilliant blue sky and then at the faraway mountains rising above the swaying palm trees, they couldn’t wait to start their holiday.
A taxi pulled up swiftly and silently. Derek dropped their suitcases into the boot and joined Shirley in the back seat. “Palm Trees Hotel, please,” Derek said excitedly. “Certainly, sir,” replied the driver, as he turned around with a flashing white smile. Derek and Shirley gave each other a puzzled look as the taxi eased smoothly into the traffic. “Excuse me, er, your face seems very familiar—in fact, you remind us of that famous film star, Rocky Overton... but of course, you can’t be.”
Derek and Shirley sat in silent disbelief as the driver explained that he was not a real person, but a robot made to look like a famous actor. “Rocky” explained that the taxi company had purchased the latest model of robot drivers since they were programmed to be safer and more reliable than human drivers. “So, here I am,” “Rocky” continued, “your first robot taxi driver!”
Derek and Shirley held each other’s hands more tightly. “Relax,” “Rocky” reassured them, “there is nothing for you to worry about. I can assure you that my driving skills are excellent. I’m equipped with perfect vision and superior reactions, and I know every street in the city. I am instantly updated with the latest traffic information so that I can avoid traffic jams and get you to your destination in the quickest and least stressful manner. Please sit back, relax and enjoy the journey.”
Derek and Shirley, feeling a little better, leaned back in their seats and closed their eyes. “And another thing,” “Rocky” added, “my line of robots represents the ultimate in computer technology. I am beautifully designed, made from only the best materials and subject to the strictest quality checks. Therefore, you are entirely safe with me. Nothing could possibly go wrong ... could possibly go wrong ... go wrong ... go wrong ...”

Passage 2
(2024-2025学年江西省九江市匡庐星瀚高级中学高二上学期1月期末英语试题)In 2018, 17-year-old Hemesh spent a life-changing summer with his grandmother Anne, who had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Witnessing the impact of the disease firsthand, Hemesh was awakened to the seriousness of the situation.
One night, Hemesh walked into the kitchen only to discover that his grandmother had left the gas stove(炉) on after making tea. Shocked by the dangerous consequences Alzheimer’s disease could bring about, he couldn’t help but wonder what might have happened if he hadn’t been there.
Hemesh’s worries increased as he observed his grandmother’s behavior. She would wake up in the early hours of the morning, believing she was on a train, and wander outside aimlessly. This wandering tendency could potentially lead her to get lost or put herself in risky situations.
Determined to make a difference, Hemesh engaged himself in extensive research about Alzheimer’s disease and its symptomatic (症状的) progression. Through his studies, he discovered that wandering was a common problem among dementia patients, especially those with Alzheimer’s disease.
Inspired by his newfound knowledge and fueled by his desire to help, Hemesh told his family, “I can’t just stand by and watch this happen. I need to do something to keep Grandma safe. I think I have an idea that might help not just her, but others in similar situations.”
With firm determination, he developed an inventive answer to the wandering dilemma, a device he called the Guardian Companion. It was a wearable device, similar to a smartwatch, specifically designed for Alzheimer’s patients. It integrated advanced GPS technology and a panic button to assist those who tended to wander, ensuring their safety and well-being. After the device got its official approval, Hemesh happily went to try it on for his grandmother.
