The most expected ride of 2024, however, will take you for a face-to-face encounter with thrilling adventure. Banshee at Kings Island, Mason, Ohio. Inverted (倒置的) feature trains that hang suspended from the track above and leave passengers’ legs hanging. They typically offer tight turns with lots of positive G-forces. With a ride time of 2 minutes 40 seconds and a track length of 4,124 +feet, Banshee is the world’s longest inverted coaster and is getting so many praises from ride fans. That is really wonderful and exciting. Despicable Me Minion Mayhem at Universal Studios Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. The extremely silly characters from the popular Despicable Me movie bring their powerful funny actions to an engaging 4-D ride film. It’s loaded with laughs, and like the movies, includes some surprisingly touching moments as well. Goliath at Six Flags Great America, Gurnee, Illinois. The creative company that is building this new coaster has an impressive track record of delivering incredibly smooth and satisfying thrill machines. So the expectation is high for Goliath, which will boast a 180-foot, 85-degree drop and a top speed of 72mph, which will make it the world’s tallest, fastest, and steepest wooden coaster. 6. How does ride fans feel after riding Banshee? A. Wonderful and excited. B. Surprised and angry. C. Disappointed. D. Hopeless and happy. 7. What is Goliath made of ? A. Steel. B. Wood. C. Bamboo. D. Iron. 8. Where is the text likely to appear in ? A. A newspaper B. A survey C. A travel guidebook D. A science magazine B Dr. Jane Goodall, the renowned primatologist and conservationist, passed away peacefully on October 1, 2025, at the age of 91. Her groundbreaking work with chimpanzees reshaped our understanding of the animal kingdom and inspired generations to protect the natural world. Beginning her research in Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park in 1960, the 26-year-old Goodall brought a fresh perspective to animal behavior studies. With no formal scientific training, she pioneered a compassionate, non-invasive approach to observing chimpanzees. She broke scientific conventions by giving the chimpanzees names like “David Greybeard” instead of numbers, allowing her to document their individual personalities and complex emotional lives. Her patience and dedication led to revolutionary discoveries, including her observation of chimpanzees using and making tools — a capability once thought unique to humans. Goodall’s most famous discovery came when she witnessed David Greybeard modifying a twig to “fish” for termites. This finding, along with her records of chimpanzees exhibiting behaviors such as hunting, warfare, and displaying emotions like grief and joy, fundamentally challenged the boundaries between humans and other animals. Her methods, initially criticized by some scientists, ultimately revolutionized the field of primatology and established a new paradigm for animal behavior research. Beyond her scientific contributions, Goodall transformed into a global conservation leader. She established the Jane Goodall Institute in 1977 and founded the “Roots & Shoots” youth program in 1991, empowering young people in over 100 countries to take action for people, animals, and the environment. Honored as a UN Messenger of Peace and receiving numerous awards, including the presidential Medal of Freedom, Goodall’s true legacy lies in the enduring hope she instilled in millions worldwide. She proved that one person’s dedication can indeed change the world. 9. What made Goodall’s work significant? A. She worked extensively with chimpanzees in laboratory environments. B. She greatly changed our perception of animals and inspired environmental protection. C. She was mainly recognized for establishing an international wildlife research institute. D. She proved that formal academic training is useless for important scientific discoveries. 10. Why did Goodall name the chimpanzees instead of numbering them? A. It helped her to secure more research funding for her project. B. It was a requirement of the Gombe Stream National Park. C. It reflected her unique methodology and personal approach to studying animal behavior. D. It was a common practice among scientists at the time to ensure objectivity. 11. Which of the following best describes Goodall according to the passage? A. Well-trained and educated. B. Conventional and determined. C. Patient and devoted. D. Competitive and ambitious. 12. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To outline the scientific process of primate tool-making in detail. B. To criticize the initial skepticism of the scientific community towards a female researcher. C. To honor the life and highlight her scientific and conservation impacts. D To promote the “Roots & Shoots” youth program and encourage reader participation. C Imagine that you are in a crowded place. You do not notice, but someone is watching you and learns your iPhone password(密码). Then, they steal your phone. Suddenly, your photos, documents, financial information, and the rest of your digital life have been taken from you. Apple, the iPhone maker, recently released an update to its iOS operating system. It has a new feature called Stolen Device Protection (SDP). The feature makes it a lot harder for phone thieves to open the device and access important functions and settings. Apple says the feature adds extra security for users. It addresses a drawback that thieves have used to lock device owners out of their Apple accounts, delete their photos and other files from their iCloud, and take money from their bank accounts. SDP keeps track of a user’s “familiar locations”, such as their home or workplace. It also reduces the importance of passwords. Instead, it favors “biometric”(生物识别的)features such as faces or fingerprints, which are a lot harder to copy. If a thief tries to erase or reset an iPhone, the device will require a Face ID or Touch ID scan to confirm that the person is the rightful owner. The new feature does not let someone use the password or any other backup method. Another part of the new feature is designed to slow down thieves trying to change security settings. For example, if someone tries to sign out of an Apple ID account, change the password or reset the phone in an unfamiliar location, they will have to authenticate(证实)by using Face ID or Touch ID, wait an hour, and then do a second facial or fingerprint scan. Changing an Apple ID password, updating Apple ID security settings, adding or removing Face or Touch ID, and turning off the Find My device feature or Stolen Device Protection also will lead to this feature. 13. What is the function of paragraph 1? A. To set a phone-stealing scene. B. To introduce the following text. C. To remind readers to be cautious. D. To explain how password theft directly causes device loss. 14. What can SDP do to add security for users? A. Stop iCloud files from being deleted. B. Make it less likely to enter the phone. C. Secure Apple accounts with remote locking. D. Prevent thieves from accessing bank accounts. 15. What does SDP require for resetting a stolen iPhone? A. Previous passwords. B. A new security setting. C. An Apple ID account. D. Identity recognition. 16. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. iPhone’s anti-theft measure. B. Apple ID security settings. C. Usage of biometric features. D. Apple’s iOS operating system. D Jason, a straight-A student from the University of Pennsylvania, uses the term “pseudo-working” to describe how many of us study. The pseudo-worker looks and feels like someone who is working hard — he or she spends a long time in the library and is not afraid to push on late into the night — but, because of a lack of focus and concentration, he or she doesn’t actually accomplish much. This phenomenon can be seen in most colleges. For example, at Dartmouth there was a section of the main library that was open twenty-four hours a day and the students I used to see in there late at night crowded in groups, drinking coffee, were definitely pseudo-working. By placing themselves in distracting environments and insisting on working long hours, these students are damaging their brain’s ability to think clearly and efficiently to accomplish the task at hand. In the end they get half the results with twice the effort. The bigger problem here is that most students don’t even realize that they’re pseudo-working. To them pseudo-working is work — it’s how they’ve always done it, and it’s how all of their friends do it. It never crosses their mind that there might be a better way. Straight-A students, on the other hand, know all about pseudo-working. They fear it, and for good reason it not only wastes time, but it’s also mentally tiring. In fact, the most important skill in becoming a better student is the ability to get work done quickly and with a minimum of wasted effort. Some cognitive science research concludes that about 50 minutes is the optimal learning period to maximize the material learned per time unit. So how can students manage to study efficiently? One key factor is captured in the following simple formula: work accomplished = time spent×intensity of focus. Pseudo-working features a very low intensity of focus. Therefore, to accomplish something by pseudo-working, you need to spend a lot of time. The straight-A approach, on the other hand, maximizes intensity in order to minimize time. 17. Which of the following phenomenon is an example of pseudo-working? A. Tom is busy taking notes while attending a lecture. B. Alice and Sara are sitting on the sofa reading their favorite books. C. Mike is sitting in the study room in preparation for a final exam quietly. D. Jack spends a long time in the library on his essay while listening to music. 18. What can be inferred from paragraph 3 and 4? A. Straight-A students believe some tasks are worth twice the effort. B. Too much thinking may weaken the brain’s ability of the students. C. Negative effects of pseudo-working are not fully realized by many students. D. Students will get good grades once they realize that pseudo-working is ineffective. 19. What does the underlined word “optimal’ mean in paragraph 5? A. Longest. B. Best. C. Least. D. Effective. 20. Why does the author mention the formula in the text? A. To show the benefit of working hard. B. To prove the necessity of accomplishing work. C. To emphasize the importance of concentration. D. To explain the reason for spending much time. 第二节 七选五 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When I was a child, my mother battled with me over learning the art of conversation and how to chat to grown ups.

Every day after school, I’d hurry to Grandmother’s welcoming home, greeted by the smell of freshly baked cookies and the warmth of the fireplace. We would spend hours together gardening, baking, and especially knitting (编织). Each birthday, Grandmother would gift me a hand-knitted sweater with bright colors and complex patterns, which I held dear. Later, I moved to the city for my studies, leaving the countryside and Grandmother behind. Getting used to the exciting city life and burdened by an increasingly demanding academic schedule, I found myself unwilling to call Grandmother. Although the handmade sweater kept arriving each year, my appreciation for it decreased. The bright, old-fashioned patterns looked out of place among the modern and fashionable clothes of my classmates. Before my 18th birthday, a package from Grandmother arrived on time again. Inside was Grandmother’s latest creation. The sweater was as colorful as ever, with eye-catching designs, but it might cause embarrassment if I wore it in school. In a moment of disappointment, I threw the sweater aside. “Why couldn’t Grandmother just be like my friends’ relatives who gifted fashionable clothes or smart devices? Why does she stick to such an old-fashioned tradition?” I complained to my mother. My mother was sad when she heard my words. “Your grandmother is getting older, and her eyesight is not so good as it used to be,” she replied. “Despite this, she insists on keeping the birthday tradition alive.” She continued, her voice trembling (颤抖), “She rejected my advice, spending months knitting that sweater. Every stitch (一针) is filled with her love for you. She could easily buy something from the store, but she chooses to make the sweater because it means something more.” 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 A sense of shame suddenly washed over me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On my birthday, I walked into the classroom wearing the sweater. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 潮阳一中明光学校2025-2026学年度第一学期第二阶段考 高二英语试卷 本试卷共五部分，共10页，满分130分。考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、学校、班级、考生号填在答题卡上。 2. 作答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目选项的答案信息点涂黑，如需要改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案。答案不能答在试卷上。 3. 非选择题必须用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡上各题目指定区域内相应的位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案；不准使用铅笔或涂改液，不按以上要求作答无效。 第一部分 情境对话单项选择 （共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 【1题答案】 【答案】A 【2题答案】 【答案】A 【3题答案】 【答案】A 【4题答案】 【答案】B 【5题答案】 【答案】A 第二部分 阅读理解 （共两节，满分50分） 第一节 四篇阅读 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A 【6~8题答案】 【答案】6.

Hearing her voice on the phone, I immediately expressed my heartfelt thanks and promised I would wear the sweater on my birthday. Knowing I was delighted with her present, my grandmother sounded so pleased and we chatted happily for a long time. On my birthday I walked into the classroom wearing the sweater. When seeing my special sweater, some of my classmates were curious but others laughed at the old-fashioned design. However, their reaction didn’t bother me. After I explained its story and the love behind it, an expression of envy crossed their face. They showed great admiration for my unique and priceless gift.
