Here are some of the top music festivals across America this festival season. Coachella Music Festival | Indio, California As one of the most famous music and arts festivals in the world, Coachella brings together a diverse range of artists and music styles, from rock to hip-hop. It is not only a celebration of music but also a showcase of art, with exhibits and visual experiences.

When We Were Young. C. Electric Daisy Carnival. D. Coachella Music Festival. 22. What do Pickathon and When We Were Young have in common? A. They offer an eco-friendly trip. B. They are held in the same state. C. They each have a central theme. D. They perform traditional music. 23. In which section of the newspaper would this text most likely appear? A. Business. B. Health. C. Science. D. Culture. B To know body language better, Christina Stach, a 25-year-old healthcare provider, read What Everybody Is Saying by Joe Navarro. “It changed how I communicated with everyone,” she says. While approximately 80% of our interactions with each other are nonverbal — from birth, our body language sends out clues to what we’re thinking, and Stach says, “We can learn to exercise control over it.” Becoming aware of her own body language, the physician recognized her preferred way of sitting with her arms and legs crossed. While it was comfortable for her, patients considered it discomfort with them. She found the same to be true with eye contact. “I don’t make much eye contact with people because it makes me uncomfortable,” Stach says, “but it makes others think I’m inattentive.” Armed with the knowledge, she began uncrossing her arms and legs and making more eye contact when in conversation, “Using positive body language helps strengthen patient interactions, and once these habits become natural, you may notice your patients are more receptive to your advice,” she says. “Talking with patients at eye level is important,” Stach says. “It shows them that I’m here to listen to what they have to say and to make joint decisions about their healthcare.” She recommends that physicians lower their eye level as much as possible by sitting on a low chair facing their patient while the patient remains seated on the exam table. Eye contact is another important element. “If you’re typing notes into your computer without looking at your patients — even if you are listening and can say everything they said, your body says you aren’t listening,” Stach says. “And you no longer have a closed space of attention with each other.” Anyway, body language can send a message of care and trust, “In medicine, we’re often in our patient’s face during a medical exam, but when talking with them, being too close may be intrusive, especially in Western cultures where we have broader personal body comfortable distance,” Stach notes. “But in Eastern cultures that distance is much narrower. So, when interacting with people from these cultures, stepping back is seen as offensive(冒犯的) — that’s something to keep in mind.” 24. How did Christina Stach get better at using body language? A. By keeping practicing it in her family. B. By reading a related book. C. By learning a lot from professionals. D. By communicating with patients. 25. Why did Christina Stach change her sitting posture and eye contact? A. To achieve better care results. B. To feel more personally comfortable. C. To show her professional skills. D. To enhance her specialized knowledge. 26. What is Christina Stach’s suggestion for physicians talking with patients? A. Avoiding frequent eye contact. B. Making decisions for the patients. C Repeating everything the patients said. D. Positioning themselves on lowered seats. 27. What does the underlined word “intrusive” in the last paragraph mean? A. Relaxing. B. Comfortable. C. Disturbing. D. Formal. C If you want to become a fluent English speaker, you should take some advice: there are four skills in learning English. They are listening, speaking, reading and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills, you should first gain the skills of reading and listening. Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentences, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it. As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs (输入) in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening. For listening, you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening, you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes. If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect. 28. According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills? A. Reading and listening. B. Reading and writing. C. Writing and speaking. D. Speaking and listening. 29. To improve your reading, when you read, you should ________. A. look up all the new words in the dictionary. B. think about what you are reading actively. C. spend more time studying grammar. D. copy as many words and sentences as possible. 30. What does the underlined words “come across” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Meet by accident. B. Wind up. C. Lose on purpose. D. Look for. 31. Which of the following may the author agree with? A. Everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. B. You needn’t practice listening if you keep in reading every day. C. Being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening. D. You should take notes of whatever you are hearing. D It is hardly surprising that rivers have been an important part of human history: They provide food, freshwater, and rich land for growing crops. While water is crucial to life, it can be a destructive force, too. When rivers flood, the effects can be destructive. Flooding is one of the most common types, and it is often fatal (灾难性的). While floods bring damage, they also bring nutrients and essential components for life. Seasonal floods can renew ecosystems, providing life-giving waters in more ways than one. Floods transport vital nutrients to the surrounding land. When the water flows away, it leaves nutrients behind on the floodplain. This rich, natural fertilizer improves soil quality and has a positive effect on plant growth, thus increasing productivity in the ecosystem. Ancient civilizations first started along the river mouths of seasonally flooded rivers, such as the Nile in Egypt, because they provided rich soil for farmlands. Floods can supply underground water sources. Floodwater goes into the ground, and then passed through beds of soil and rock, finally reaching underground aquifers (含水层). These aquifers supply clean freshwater to springs, wells, lakes, and rivers. Ecosystems rely heavily on groundwater during dry spells when it may be the only supply of freshwater available. A good supply of groundwater has a great impact on soil health and leads to more productive crop and pasture lands. Floods are a force of nature, and their results, both positive and negative, are strongly felt by affected ecosystems. Floods can be destructive to humans and the natural environment, but they also help to drive biodiversity and are essential to the functioning of many ecosystems. Whether you consider floods to be good or bad, one thing is for certain: The world would be a very different place without them. 32. Why does the author mention the role of water in paragraph 1? A. To show its importance in life. B. To lead in the topic of flooding. C. To present an argument about water. D. To describe the damaging force of nature. 33. What made the Nile one of ancient civilization birthplaces? A. The nutrients left in the water. B. The plant growth on the farmland. C The groundwater sources in the ecosystem. D. The soil quality improved by fertilizer. 34. What can we imply from the text? A. Floods only bring damage to ecosystems. B. Floods are the main source of all groundwater. C. Floods provide freshwater directly to the rivers. D. Floods are important for underground water renewal. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Results of Floods on Agriculture B. The History of Flooding in Ecosystems C. Rivers: A Source of Natural Environment D. Floods: A Force for Destruction and Renewal 第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，共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。 A good after-school program can turn free after-school hours into productive learning time. ____36____ Here are four things a good after-school program can do for those kids.

Native speakers perfect these sounds as they grow up, but for new learners, this may take time. For Mandarin learners, pronunciation is one of the ____57____ (challenge) most people tend to meet with. Error-making is a ____58____ (nature) part of learning any language, not just Mandarin, and we all have our own fair share of weak points. We can easily spot some Mandarin pronunciation mistakes ____59____ are a lot more common than others. Pronunciation in Mandarin is important, because a simple shift in tone can completely change the meaning of a word. Unlike other East Asian languages, Mandarin depends heavily ____60____ tone to convey the proper meaning, so correct Chinese pronunciation is essential. Sometimes, ____61____ the difference in sound is clear enough, learners make the mistake of pronouncing it the same way. The best approach to ____62____ (solve) this is to use a Mandarin pronunciation guide which tells you exactly how different sounds ____63____ (make) and where they come from so you can differentiate (区别) between them properly. English has stressed syllables within words, while Mandarin does not. Mandarin can make changes to the tone of the vowel, which in turn, changes the meaning.

I want to stay at home and listen to my CDs. I also want to swim in the pool or play basketball with my friends. However, Mum is shouting at me to get up and go out with her to a place called Give Kids the World. Located in a village, it’s a special place where families can spend a vacation when a child has a life-threatening illness. Mum has various responsibilities there, such as serving ice cream and giving gifts. I expect the job to be boring, but Mum insists that I will enjoy it. Reluctantly (不情愿地), I agree, and Mum drives us to the place with some gifts loaded in the back of the car. Then we begin to deliver them to every child. We arrive at the first house, and when I knock on the door and shout, “Gift giving,” a woman answers the door. In the middle of the living room sits a young boy in a wheelchair. I hand him the gift, and his face lights up with joy. As I walk away, I reflect, “It must be a real pain, not being able to jump around or play basketball.” At the next house, I knock on the door, once again shouting “Gift giving.” Another person answers, and I see a little girl lying on a chair with tubes in her nose. Her brother is feeding her. I do the same-give her the gift and leave. It suddenly occurs to me how uncomfortable it must be to lie there, unable to feed herself or enjoy any food she desires, especially sweets and chocolate. We reach the third house. As I enter with the gift, the child doesn’t seem to notice me. Her mum explains that she’s deaf and partially sighted. I position myself in front of her so that she can see the gift. When I do that, she becomes extremely excited and expresses her gratitude(感激) through sign language. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1 Once back in the car, I can’t help but fall into deep thought. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 I now go on regular visits to Give Kids the World. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 绝密★启用前 集宁二中2025-2026学年上学期高二年级期末卷英语 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，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题答案】 【答案】B 【2题答案】 【答案】C 【3题答案】 【答案】B 【4题答案】 【答案】C 【5题答案】 【答案】A 第二节(共15小题;每小题1.5分，满分22.5分) 听下面5段对话或独白。每段对话或独白后有几个小题，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。听每段对话或独白前，你将有时间阅读各个小题，每小题5秒钟;听完后，各小题将给出5秒钟的作答时间。每段对话或独白读两遍。 【6~7题答案】 【答案】6.

I’m writing to share some common ones to help with your club project. Shaking hands firmly means politeness when meeting others. Nodding shows agreement or understanding, while shaking your head means disagreement. Waving your hand is a way to say hello or goodbye. Remember not to point at others with your finger, which is impolite. I believe your project will be a great success with your efforts. If you have more questions, feel free to ask me. Yours, Li Hua 第二节 读后续写(满分25分) 【67题答案】 【答案】 Once back in the car, I can’t help but fall into deep thought. The smiles on the kids’ faces as they received gifts were etched in my mind, yet so were their challenging circumstances. The boy in the wheelchair yearned to run and play like me, while the girl with tubes in her nose couldn’t enjoy her favorite treats. The deaf and partially-sighted girl had to communicate through sign language. I realized how much I had taken my health for granted. My plans to laze around at home or play basketball suddenly seemed selfish. These kids fought for every moment of joy, while I often complained about trivial things. This eye-opening experience made me see the world in a new light, filled with both gratitude and a sense of responsibility. I now go on regular visits to Give Kids the World. Instead of just delivering gifts, I actively engage with the children. I tell them stories, play board games, and even teach the deaf girl some new sign-language phrases. I’ve also started organizing small events with other volunteers, like art competitions and music sessions. The kids’ enthusiasm and resilience inspire me every time. Through these experiences, I’ve not only brought happiness to them but also discovered a deeper meaning in life. I’m more appreciative of my health and the simple pleasures it allows, and I’m committed to making a positive difference in the lives of those less fortunate. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
