If temperatures rise on fall, crop production can shift north or southwards towards more suitable temperatures. A It’s widely understood that a mentor has a positive impact on one’s career. Yet, research shows that even though 76% of professionals think mentors are important, only 37% currently have one. One of the many reasons for this mismatch could be that people are too narrow in their definition of a mentor. Great mentors can come from anywhere — they can be younger and might even be outside of the field of expertise. Anyone whose opinion one values and trusts can fill this role. To illustrate that guidance can come from a wide variety of people, we asked members of the Wyss Institute at Harvard at various points in their career journeys to share their best advice. Here’s what they said. “First: Nothing is impossible, it’s just that nobody has found a way to accomplish it yet. Second: Don’t be disappointed if reviewers don’t believe in your work, it’s a better reason to prove them wrong.” —Bogdan Budnik, Principal Scientist “The biggest piece of advice I will give is to stay curious and persistent. Curiosity will help you innovate, and persistence will help you overcome difficulties that you might face. Science is full of unexpected twists and turns. It’s only with an open mind and determination that you will turn those obstacles into opportunities.” —Jie Ji, Postdoctoral Fellow “Don’t be afraid to ask questions! The best way I’ve found to invest in my education, build connections, and develop research skills is by being inquisitive and curious. One of the best parts about being a researcher is learning about things that are important and interesting, and having the opportunity to ask the experts you work with about their areas of expertise is the best tool available!” —Katie Lyon, Research Assistant 21.What quality does Bogdan Budnik stress? A. Maintaining curiosity. B. Raising doubt. C. Following your passion. D. Never giving up. 22. What do Jie Ji’s and Katie Lyon’s advice have in common? A. Both ignore ups an downs. B. Neither admit twists and turns. C. Both highlight being curious. D. Neither praise being open-mined. 23. Who is the passage most likely intended for? A. Ambitious young researchers. B. Great mentors of the Wyss. C. Retired university professionals. D. Senior members at Harvard. B On a gray Sunday morning in March, I told an AI chatbot my life story. For nearly two hours, the AI chatbot collected my thoughts on everything from vaccines to emotional coping strategies to policing in the U.S. When the interview was over, a large language model processed my responses to create a new AI system designed to resemble my behaviors and beliefs—a kind of digital clone of my personality. A week after my interview, I met my generative agent—let’s say “he”. I tested his ability to make informed guesses about my life, filling in information I hadn’t directly provided. When asked if his family had dogs growing up, he correctly answered yes, even though I had only told the AI chatbot that my parents have dogs today. At times those guesses were ridiculous. When asked to describe an embarrassing moment from his past, he made up a story about a party in college in which he’d lost his balance while dancing and fell onto a table full of snacks. Thankfully, that never happened to the real me. Most memorably, there were moments that felt like genuine insight. I had had a long, stressful few months full of uncertainty. I asked him “what’s some advice you’d want to offer to your past self ?” “Embrace uncertainty a bit more,” he began. I had to pause. The response so closely echoed the themes I’d express to myself in my journal the previous day. “I think I spent a lot of time worrying about the future and trying to control every aspect of my life, and that often led to unnecessary stress,” he continued. “I would advise myself to trust the process and be more open to the unexpected paths that life can take.” Initially, the humanist in me refused generative stuff, silently insisting that the soul is a lot more than a data set. After meeting my digital twin, I was aware that I might be rudely big-headed, believing that computers could never compose decent poetry or outmatch humans in chess. 24. What did the large language model do? A. It made a digital clone instantly. B. It gathered the author’s thoughts. C. It evaluated the author’s emotions in detail. D. It built an AI mirroring the author’s features. 25. How did the AI answer the embarrassing moment? A. It made false assumptions. B. It used an external database. C. It referred to provided details. D. It ignored current information. 26. Why did the author have to pause in paragraph 3? A. The AI relieved his unnecessary stress. B. The AI’s words matched his private thoughts. C. The AI amazed him by its novel and wise insights. D. The AI denied the belief that control brings certainty. 27. What was the author’s attitude towards generative AI in the end? A. Resistant. B. Doubtful. C. Balanced. D. Agreeable. C Art can have incredible power over us. Yet even the most timeless and celebrated pieces can be ruined by the march of the centuries. Turning back the clock can be complicated—scientifically and culturally. It requires a set of skills ranging from archaeology to chemistry. Conservation starts with material analysis, whether the artwork is a cloth, sculpture, or painting. One approach was to remove a tiny piece of paint from an artwork to analyze layers of paint and see how the artist originally constructed it. But, increasingly, art conservation scientists have been able to adopt technologies to make the analysis process less intrusive. They often borrow these technologies from other fields, notably the medical field. CT scanning, for instance, can help doctors peer into bodies, but it can also help art conservation experts find tiny details in artworks, such as fingerprints and tool marks that they couldn’t see with the naked eye—without damaging the work itself. Although more high-tech could be a blessing to the field, what art conservation scientists really long for is more cooperation between scientists, native experts, affected communities and the general public. They have re-centered their focus from just what a piece of art is made of and how to keep it in shape to the culture from which the artwork originated. “We’re still very much science-based, but we’ve also come to realize over time that these objects in our care have values rooted in them,” says Glenn Wharton, Chair of the UCLA Program in the Conservation of Cultural Heritage. “We always try to assess these values, which leads us towards communicating with people whose cultural heritage it is.” Like many other things in art, what gets conserved and what doesn’t usually comes down to time and money. The number of restoration projects is far more than the availability of qualified scientists in the field. And historically, it has often been the most valued works owned by the wealthy that were restored. But with the evolving field, this is changing. 28.What can “turning back the clock” refer to in paragraph 1? A. Admiring a timeless artwork.  B. Restoring an ancient masterpiece.  C. Creating a copy of a celebrated sculpture.  D. Studying the history of a famous painting.  29.What does the underlined word “invasive” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Destructive. B. Defensive. C. Intensive. D. Inclusive 30.What have conservation experts primarily shifted their focus to? A. Modern technologies for restoration. B. The composition of artistic materials. C. Artworks’ cultural origins and values. D. Artworks’ physical shapes and colors. 31. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Conserved heritage. B. Practical challenges. C. Historical achievements. D. Sufficient resources. D The first chemical reactions in the wake of the Big Bang have been recreated for the first time in conditions similar to those in the baby Universe. A team of physicists from the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Germany has remade the reactions of HeH⁺, a molecule made from a helium(氦) atom mixing with an hydrogen atom, which explains some of the earliest processes that gave rise to the Universe as we know it today. Some 13.8 billion years ago, the birth pain of the Universe produced a hot soup of fundamental particles(粒子) . It took about 380,000 years for atoms to concentrate into the very first elements, about 75 percent of which were hydrogen. Hydrogen continues to dominate the Universe's ingredient list today. None of that, however, could happen without HeH⁺, a molecule that scientists believe played a huge role in cooling the Universe enough so that the molecular clouds could form the seeds of baby stars. HeH⁺ paved the way for the formation of the first stars. The researchers carefully studied interactions between HeH⁺ and a hydrogen atom with one extra neutron(中子) in it, known as deuterium(氚). They changed the temperature to see if temperature played a role in the reaction rate. It did not. The rate at which the reaction took place remained steady, regardless of the temperature—suggesting that the role HeH⁺ played in the early Universe did not decline as cooling unfolded, and that its role in the formation of the first generation of stars was a significant one. “Previous theories predicted a significant decrease in the reaction probability at low temperatures, but we were unable to prove this,” physicist Holger Kreckel explains. “The reactions of HeH⁺ with neutral hydrogen and deuterium therefore appear to have been far more important for chemistry in the early Universe than previously assumed.” 32. What role did HeH⁺ play in the Universe? A. Cooling baby stars. B. Mixing a soup of atoms. C. Lowering the temperature. D. Forming earliest deuterium. 33. What did the researchers find out about HeH⁺? A. It becomes less effective at lower temperatures. B. Temperature has little effects on its reaction rates. C. Temperature is the key factor to its steady reaction. D. It can interact with deuterium faster than hydrogen. 34. Why does the author quote physicist Holger Kreckel? A.To prove assumptions wrong. B. To attack the new experiment. C. To confirm previous theories. D. To stress HeH⁺’s unexpected worth. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Formation of Early Stars. B. Deuterium’s Importance. C. The Re-creation of First Chemistry. D. New Big Bang’s Particles. 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。 Are you dreading your “crazy uncle” brings up climate change at dinner? You are not alone. This Christmas, thousands of students will go home only to face their relatives debating politically sensitive scientific topics— that have no basis in real science — from vaccine safety to nuclear power. If this happens at my family’s dinner table, I will sit there quietly. But is that the best response? The hard truth is most people don’t understand the scientific process. So you cannot change their fixed minds with facts. But ignoring them does not work either. 36 . Here is a better way. 37 . When someone praises a controversial public figure, they’re often celebrating a person who questions authority. When they want to cut NASA’s budget, they may be expressing concern about government spending. Those are reasonable concerns, and you can acknowledge them without “losing” the argument. Question the source not the claim. If shown an article linking vaccines to autism, don’t immediately say it’s wrong. Ask where they found it and what made it convincing. 38 . The vaccine-autism study has been reviewed by dozens of teams; none replicated the results. That does not mean scientists are always right. It means science is self-correcting. The key is that you are creating doubt in their misinformation, not certainty in your position. Avoid reactions that make thins worse. Angry, know-it-all attitude, or calling them stupid only make people defensive. Not every conversation will go well. Some people just want to fight. Some have tied their identity to rejecting science. 39 . If it is getting heated, change the subject. If they are not listening, let it go. But when you can engage, engage thoughtfully. Go home. Be patient. Be kind. Do not let misinformation win by inaction. 40 . The science will still be true tomorrow. Your family will still be your family. Do your best, then let it go. A. Know when to stop. B. But don’t let it ruin your holiday either. C. Understand what they actually care about. D. Silence lets misinformation spread unchallenged. E. Acknowledge the emotions behind their arguments. F. Patiently describe why their chosen study might be flawed. G. Calmly explain how science really works: no single study is trusted. 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。 On Christmas Eve, like so many other parents, Shumaker was busy preparing the surprise her 4-year-old daughter Aubree had wished for: a real piano with full-size keys.

My teacher, Mr. Gideon, called my mother and explained that I hadn’t spoken a single word in class, and we were more than halfway through the school year. Even as a third grader, I knew this was unusual. I watched admiringly the free interaction of my classmates. Mom tried to excuse my behavior as something that I would outgrow. But Mr. Gideon would not agree. He asked Mom if I had something at home that I liked. He said he would arrange a show-and-tell for the class if I brought it to school. Playing right into Mr. Gideon’s hands, Mom told him about my cat who’d had a litter of kittens about three weeks earlier. I was crazy about those kittens. Bingo! Mr. Gideon suggested I bring the kittens to school the next day. I suppose Mom was hoping to change his mind when she explained that I would have to bring the mother cat along with the six kittens because they were too young to be separated from their mother. She probably thought this would put an end to the plan. But Mr. Gideon said that was fine. I normally walked to school, but my mother drove me the next morning along with a big brown cardboard box. I struggled toward the classroom under the heavy load. In no time, the chorus of kittens drew curious classmates to the mysterious box. Their eyes lit up in wonder when they caught sight of my tiny treasures. My little heart thumped (怦怦跳) against my chest as pride swelled within me. I had never felt so important in my entire nine years of life! Mr. Gideon instructed me to sit on the steps outside the classroom so everyone could get a good look inside the container. Soon, the school bell rang, but no one moved — not even Mr. Gideon. He allowed us to sit there until each student had a turn touching the kittens. 注意： 1．续写词数应为 150 左右; 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 “Can I hold one for a minute?” a little girl cried out with excitement. Then, Mr. Gideon accompanied me to the front of the classroom and waited for the students to sit down. 2025—2026学年度上学期期末检测 高二英语参考答案 听力： 1-5 CCCBA 6-10 CABBC 11-15 ACAAB 16-20 BCACA 阅读理解： 21—23 DCA 24—27 DABD 28—31 BACB 32—35 CBDC 七选五： 36-40 DCGAB 完形填空： 41-45 ABCDB 46-50 CCABD 51-55 ADACD 语法填空 56. steaming 57.their 58.inspiration 59.attempts 60.which/that 61.are prized 62.served 63.seasonal 64.that 65.the 应用文写作 One possible version: Dear Eric, I’m really excited about your “High School Life in China” video project and believe the following ideas can add a unique charm to your videos. First, a Chinese literature class would be a great scene to film. Students passionately analyze ancient poems, delving into their emotions and elegant rhymes, offering a glimpse into our cultural heritage and academic life. Next, the lively school cafeteria is a must-see, where students enjoy a variety of Chinese dishes like baozi and fried noodles, highlighting the flavorful daily life here. These scenes will surely captivate your audience. I’m looking forward to seeing your amazing videos! Yours sincerely, Li Hua 读后续写 One possible version: “Can I hold one for a minute?” a little girl squealed with excitement. She stared at me with excitement, which brought my heart into my mouth. Tense as I was, I plucked up the courage and whispered, “All right”. Then all the other children gathered like a choir, begging to hold one of the kittens. Every single one of them held the kittens gently, flashing a bright smile. My heart was overflowing with joy. Then, Mr. Doocy accompanied me to the front of the classroom and waited for the students to sit down. When everyone was silent, I began to tell the students about my six tiny kittens, with Mr. Doocy nodding his approval. Never did it occur to me that I would be the focus of the class. My heart swelled with pride and a newfound confidence. It’s after that magical day that I can proudly sit among my classmates with a new sense of worth and importance. 听力文稿 Text 1 W: Have you ever been to Australia? M: Yes. I worked for my master’s in Sydney for two years after traveling in China for one year. Text 2 M: So how much do we need to pay for this visit? W: Well, we have to pay Ms. Green £8.25 each. That includes lunch which is £5.75. I’m going to take one pound extra. M: What for? W: An ice-cream! Text 3 W: I’m going to mail this package to my parents tomorrow. M: How will you mail it? Surface mail or airmail? W: Airmail, of course. M: You’d better have it insured just in case it gets lost. Text 4 W: I didn’t know that you saw Despicable Me 3 before. M: I went to see it in 3-D the first day it came out. W: It was so funny. I was laughing the whole time; my stomach muscles hurt afterwards. Text 5 W: What are you worried about, Mr. Lee? M: About the tigers. Their number in our center is increasing by about 10 each year. We are pleased with that, but we can’t put them in cages forever. Text 6 W: Hi, I’m calling to see if your restaurant can hold sixty people. My company gives out awards to employees every year, and I’m in charge of the event. M: I am not sure whether our chef could handle such a large group. I’ll talk to him and see what he thinks. W: All right. Here is my phone number, 501－2458792. Could you call me back after lunch? I have to attend a client meeting this morning. Text 7 W: Is Mr Dale around here? I need to talk with him. I have some suggestions about where the performers should stand on either side of the stage. M: Well, he said he will be here at least 4 hours before the concert kicks off. But he’s not here yet. It seems like he’s caught in traffic. But he just called and said he would be here in about half an hour. W: That’s great. Then I’ll take this time to check and make sure the instruments on stage are working properly. M: Fine. I’ll go to the backstage and see if the performers are ready. Text 8 W: Thank you for your time, Mr Brown. I’m Jenny Ryan from the Seattle Daily. I’m writing a special article about great athletes of the century. I have a few questions for you. First, you are a two­time Olympic medalist. What does that mean to you? M: Many people might think group sports like soccer don’t have the same level of recognition as individual sports in the Olympics. However, it was really honorable to win a medal in the Olympic Games, especially twice. W: I see. Since you retired last year, you’ve been working as head coach in Tottenham Hotspur. Could you tell us how you will lead your team this season? M: We have to struggle with very strong competitors to stay in the league. As we usually do, we’ll come up with flexible strategies based on the strengths and weaknesses of each team. W: Is there anything that you expect your team to achieve this season besides medals? M: Sure. I hope my team members can have better cooperation and compete as one. That’s a top priority. Text 9 W: So, Mike, what is the Slow Food Movement? M: Well, it’s a reaction to fast food and fast modern lifestyles. The Movement was started by an Italian called Carlo Petrini. He organized it because a McDonald’s had opened near the Spanish Steps in Rome. He felt it was the ruin of many valuable traditional things and he tried to promote healthier ways of eating and living. W: So, Slow Food just means healthier food, does it? M: Not exactly. I think it’s more about our lifestyles. We’re always in such a hurry. We don’t have enough time to enjoy our lives. W: Fast Food companies advertise their food is healthy. How would you answer that? M: It may be right in a way, but for me, the problem is that wherever you sit down for a meal, whether in France or China, what you’re given is too similar. It makes eating and life boring. Traditional food isn’t going to be lost completely, but we do want as many people as possible to enjoy it. W: So, let’s see if I’ve understood you. The Movement’s main object is to improve the way we live, isn’t it? M: Exactly that. It’s not just about food. It’s about how we live and finding time to enjoy our lives. Text 10 Hello everyone. My name’s Sandy Duffy and I’m here to tell you about my job as a video game writer. I work with game developers and designers to think of good stories, and I write all the dialogues in the game by myself. When I was in secondary school, I never imagined that I would do this job! I played the violin and that was what I planned to do as my job. But I had an accident when I was playing basketball and hurt my hand, so I had to think of doing something else. My mother wanted me to be a journalist, but I didn’t think it was for me. I didn’t know what to study at university. I was good at lots of science subjects, including Physics and Maths, but I also loved entertaining people and I was good at Art. In the end, I went to a film school where I studied lighting, special effects, how to use a camera ... all that! It was there that I started to think about working in the video game industry. People also ask me what I like best about being a video game writer. Well, the money is good and it’s quite exciting. Just last night, for example, I was at a big dinner where they were giving prizes for new games. But what I love most is the fact that I get on so well with everyone in the company. That’s what makes my job so much fun. 高二英语试卷 第 1 页 共 10 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $湖北省武昌实验中学2025到2026学年度上学期高二年级期末检测英语考试听力部分现在开始第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Have you ever been to australia?

I work with game developers and designers to think of good stories, and I write all the dialogue in the game by myself. When I was in secondary school, I never imagined that I would do this job. I played the violin, and that was what I planned to do, is my job. But I had an accident when I was playing basketball and hurt my hand. So I had to think of doing something else. My mother wanted me to be a journalist, but I didn't think IT was for me. I didn't know what to study at university. I was good at lots of science subjects, including physics and maths. But I also loved entertaining people, and I was good at art. In the end, I went to a film school where I studied lighting, special effects, how to use a camera. All that IT was there that I started to think about working in a video game industry. People also asked me what I like best about being a video game writer. Well, the money is good, and it's quite exciting. Just last night, for example, I was at a big dinner when they were giving prizes for new games. But what I love most is the fact that I get on so well with everyone in the company. That's what makes my job so much fun. Hello everyone.
