Here are some places to get most delicious Chinese food in New York City. Best cheung fun(肠粉): Yi Ji Shi Mo Yi Ji Shi Mo, a modest street-level spot on Elizabeth Street, specializes in made-to-order cheung fun. These are Cantonese-style steamed rice rolls filled with various savoury ingredients. While cheung fun is common, what makes this place stand out is its rice wrapper: perfectly thin with a satisfying chew and soft, as they mill the rice into flour fresh every morning to make the batter. Best for Xinjiang skewers（烧烤）: Grand Street Skewer Cart(摊) A taste of Xinjiang, an autonomous region in northwest China, can be found at the iconic Grand Street Skewer Cart. Set up outside a busy train station, it offers a wide selection of meats and vegetables grilled over live fire. The spicy skewers are especially tasty. This unique street-side experience is hard to find in Chinatown for restaurants aren’t doing this kind of thing since it is live fire and not easy to pull off. Best Chinese banquet: Hop Lee Restaurant The Chinese banquet is a festive multi-course meal shared at round tables to celebrate special occasions. Hop Lee Restaurant is a beloved Chinatown institution with all the essentials: large tables and a vast menu. It serves many classic dishes, but its standout is the popular Cantonese lobster with pork. 21. Why is Yi Ji Shi Mo recommended for cheung fun? A. Its location in the oldest Chinatown. B. Its thin and chewy rice wrapper. C. Its wide choice of fillings. D. Its fast service. 22. What can be inferred about the Grand Street Skewer Cart? A. It is popular with people in a hurry. B. It is often recommended in travel guides. C. It stays open until very late. D. It serves food in a common restaurant style. 23. What is the main idea of this passage? A. A comparison of Chinese cuisines. B. A history of New York’s Chinatowns. C. Recommendations for Chinese food. D. Recipes for classic Chinese dishes. B  Silver Spring, Maryland is a center for immigrants(移民)and refugees. Manuel Vera, now known as the “Bike Dude”, found some unique and creative ways to support his community. At first, Manuel Vera just wanted to do something productive during the COVID-19 lockdown(封锁). So he offered to fix people’s bikes for free in his neighborhood. “Then I started thinking about all the bikes people have at home that never get used,” says Vera, 74, who is retired from the local power company. Soon he asked neighbors to donate bikes collecting dust after kids had outgrown them or adults had upgraded to new models. Then, in his tidy little backyard shed, he’d get to work. Since space is so tight, Vera prefers to work alone�though not for lack of volunteers. Vera repairs the bikes and gives them away at parks with a “Free Bikes” sign. Then he pairs people up with the perfect new ride and watches them pedal away happily. His first giveaway saw six bikes go in under 30 minutes. But Vera wanted to reach those who needed help the most. Making life better, one bike at a time. In addition to help the adults and kids he meets at his Free Bikes events, eager customers also come from local resettlement agencies. The agencies provide Vera with the height, gender and age of a rider, and he delivers a fitting bicycle to their door. He’s happy to make the trip. Vera recalls that an Afghan man needed a way to get to his new job as a night security guard. Vera provided him with not only a bike and helmet but also lights and a reflective vest. Lbrahim Alashe’s new bike cuts his travel time in half. “When I sought bicycles, it was very expensive, so when he does this for people, it makes them so happy,” says Alashe. “It was one of my dreams to get a bicycle. So it’s very good.” So far, his simple offer to repair bikes has grown into an engine of kindness, providing wheels to over 700 people and fueling the entire community. 24. What did Manuel Vera first offer to do for his neighbors? A. Donate bicycles to refugees. B. Fix their bikes without charge. C. Collect unused bikes from them. D. Teach bike repair skills online. 25. Why did Vera choose to help people through resettlement agencies? A. To get more volunteers for his small shed. B. To earn a reputation as a community leader. C. Because giving bikes in parks was not successful. D. To help people with the greatest needs more directly. 26. Which words best describe Manual Vera? A. Strict and serious. B. Kind and thoughtful. C. Shy and quiet. D. Ambitious and proud. 27. What does the story mainly tell us? A. How bicycle recycling benefits the environment. B. How a retired man spent his time during the lockdown. C. How a small act of kindness can power a community. D. How immigrants face challenges in Silver Spring, Maryland. C Children who grow up speaking two languages develop strengths that shape the way they learn and connect with others. Bilingualism (双语) is often seen only as a practical skill for communication, but research in educational psychology shows it is far more. It fuels children’s learning capacity, social development, and emotional growth, allowing them to see the world through multiple perspectives. One of the most powerful benefits of bilingualism is its impact on higher-order thinking skills. Researchers call this the executive function advantage, the set of mental processes that support self-control, flexible thinking, and working memory. Switching between two languages gives children constant practice with these skills, making them better at focusing, solving problems, and adapting to challenges in school and beyond. Research supports this advantage. A recent study in Egypt looked at children who spoke Arabic at home and English at school and some of those who only spoke Arabic. The results showed that bilingual children kept pace in both languages and, more importantly, outperformed their monolingual (单语的) peers in reasoning, memory, and problem-solving. Findings like this challenge the idea that learning two languages slows development and instead show that bilingualism fuels intellectual growth. Equally important are the social and emotional rewards that bilingualism offers. Children who speak two languages learn to navigate between cultures, and this exposure fosters sympathy, respect, and an early ability to see life from multiple perspectives. When they engage in conversations across two linguistic systems, children begin to appreciate differences in communication and thinking, which nurtures (培养) deeper connections with their peers and strengthens their social competence. Some concerns about bilingualism still exist. Parents and teachers sometimes worry that children will lag behind if they try to master two languages simultaneously. Others believe that maintaining a family’s native language slows assimilation (同化) into mainstream culture Research shows the opposite. Children who continue using their home language often acquire English more effectively, and the connection to family culture strengthens, not weakens, their ability to thrive in diverse settings. Far from being a barrier, bilingualism enriches both learning and belonging. 28. What is Bilingualism usually regarded as? A. A useful skill to communicate with others. B. A perspective to see the world. C. A fuel to improve learning capacity. D. A way to connect with others. 29. How does the research support the executive function (执行功能) advantage? A. It observed children who spoke English at school. B. It collected and studied the data from previous studies. C. It looked at children who spoke Arabic at home. D. It compared the bilingual children with the monolingual ones. 30. What can we know from the last two paragraphs? A. Bilingual students will lag behind as they spend time mastering two languages. B. Bilingual children tend to get an ability to see life from multiple perspectives. C. Bilingualism is a barrier between native culture and mainstream culture. D. Children who speak one language can foster empathy and respect more easily. 31. What is the author’s attitude towards bilingualism? A. Favorable. B. Indifferent. C. Critical. D. Negative. D Many people worry about losing mental sharpness as they get older. Fortunately, science shows that healthy eating habits can protect cognitive function. A 2013 research suggests that the MIND diet, may help protect brain health and could even slow down brain aging. In that study, scientists used MRI scans to examine the brains of people who reported different levels of following the MIND diet. They compared brain structures between those who followed the diet closely and those who did not. Results have linked the diet to significant benefits. One key finding shows that the most devoted followers had brains that functioned as if they were 7.5 years younger than those who followed it the least. It also found that people who adhered most closely to the diet had larger volumes in key brain areas like the hippocampus（海马体）---a region vital for memory, and showed fewer signs of brain tissue damage on MRI scans. Why might this diet work? Researchers explain that the diet is rich in foods that contain elements to fight inflammation（炎症） and oxidative stress(氧化应激), both of which are bad for brain cells. Meanwhile, fish is high in omega-3 fatty acids, which help protect brain neurons from damage. Despite these promising findings, experts offer a note of caution. Much of the evidence comes from observation rather than experiment, showing a link but not proving cause and effect. As one expert emphasizes, “What matters most for brain health is overall diet quality and consistency, day after day, year after year.” Therefore, it remains a challenge to determine whether the benefits are due to the MIND diet itself, or to the healthier lifestyle typically maintained by people following such a strict eating pattern. Ultimately, this research highlights the powerful connection between long-term dietary habits and the protection of our cognitive functions as we age. 32. What is a proven benefit of the MIND diet according to the text? A. It greatly improves physical fitness. B. It guarantees a longer lifespan. C. It can cure memory-related diseases. D. It is linked to slower brain aging. 33. What does the word “adhered” most probably mean in the third paragraph? A. turned . B. pointed. C. stuck D. objected. 34. How does the MIND diet possibly work to protect the brain? A. By fighting harmful processes like inflammation. B. By increasing a higher daily intake of calories. C. By clearing out damaged brain cells directly. D. By focusing solely on plant-based foods. 35. What is the main purpose of this text? A. To explain in detail how to start the MIND diet. B. To question the effectiveness of any diet on brain health. C. To present a research on the link between MIND diet and brain aging. D. To enourage readers to immediately adopt the MIND diet for better brain health. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项有项为多余选项。 A conflict at work is common. If you can avoid conflict, it means you will win what you want regardless of what the other person wants. Since the potential problem has not been removed, it will simply reappear later. 36 ◆Be aware of the fact that some conflicts are unavoidable at work. On many occasions (场合), conflict and disagreement are likely to happen. But when a conflict happens it is not the end of the world. 37 . Conflicts mean that people care enough to disagree strongly. The trick is not to allow the conflict to go on forever. ◆ 38 . Solve a conflict when it starts, as it only gets worse with time going by. Everyone is waiting for the other to admit he or she is wrong and gets more unpleasant after the conflict has lasted a while. It is necessary to interrupt the “waiting game” before it gets to that point. ◆Ask nicely. If somebody has done something that makes you angry, or if you don’t understand their viewpoints or actions, simply asking nicely about them can make a world of difference. Never assume that people do what they do to annoy or hurt you. Sometimes there is a good reason why that person does what he or she does, and a potential conflict disappears right there. 39 . ◆Appreciate. 40 . Tell them why it is worth it to you to solve the conflict. This can be difficult as few people find it easy to appreciate a person they disagree strongly with, but it is a great way to move forward. A. Praise the other part in the conflict. B. Deal with conflicts sooner rather than later. C. Invite the other person to talk about the situation. D. Here are the necessary steps to get rid of conflicts at work. E. Do remember to make an enquiry, not an accusation of any sort. F. On the contrary, it can be the beginning of an interesting learning process. G. Clear thinking is unlikely to happen while an argument continues to boil over. 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Having moved from a walkable city to a semi-rural area where I can walk to a few shops, but I had grown dependent on my car.

Like so many other parents, she had holiday magic to make. For weeks, her 4-year-old daughter, Aubree, had been asking for one thing only for Christmas: a “real piano keyboard,” not just some dinky one made for little kids. Now that Aubree was asleep, Shumaker pulled the box from its hiding spot in their home in Bel Air, Maryland, ready to take out the 61-key keyboard with full-size keys-perfect for beginners like Aubree. Shumaker figured she’d assemble（组装）the stand and bench, and set it all up so it would be ready to play when Aubree woke up and discovered her surprise. But when she opened the box, only the stand and bench were inside. No keyboard. Panic overtook her as she realized what she hadn’t noticed before: The keyboard was sold separately. The night before, mother and daughter had watched the movie The Santa Clause.. At one point, two of the main characters talk about the gifts they eagerly wanted when they were kids but never received, which made them doubt the existence of Santa. “That scene immediately played in my mind,” says Shumaker. She recalled how happy she was as a little girl, about Aubree’s age, when she got her first guitar as a gift. What would Aubree think when she came downstairs and found only a bench and stand-no keyboard? There must be some way to fix this, she thought. Maybe an online retailer（零售商）could deliver a keyboard by morning. Maybe she could sneak out to a store, if one was still open. She looked into both choices, but no luck. Now desperate, Shumaker posted in a neighborhood Facebook group: “I’ m about to cry,” she wrote, explaining the situation. “I’m so overwhelmed this will ruin her Christmas.” She pressed “post” and dropped her phone on the sofa, burying her face in her hands. The silent living room, with its empty stand, seemed to laugh at her. Aubree’s Christmas was breaking before it even began. Then, a faint sound vibrated(震动) through the sofa cushions. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； Paragraph 1 Her heart leaped as she grabbed the phone, the screen glowing in the dark room. ________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: With the keyboard finally set up beside the stand, Marisa watched the first light of Christmas morning touch the living room window. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ( 5 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 乐平三中2025-2026学年度上学期期末考试 高二英语试卷答案 听力 1-5 ACBBC 5-10 CBABA 11-15 BCACA 16-20 BACAB 阅读理解 21-25 BACBD 26-30 BCADB 31-35 ADCAC 36-40 D F B E A 完型填空 41-45 CBDBB 46-50 ADDAC 51-55 BABCA 语法填空 56 an 57. who 58. to breathe 59 but 60 appearance 61 From 62 Selecting 63 be replaced 64 truly 65 generations 应用文 Dear Mr. Smith, With the Spring Festival approaching, I'm writing to propose organizing a paper-cutting workshop for our international exchange students. This activity would be an excellent choice for two main reasons. First, as a traditional folk art, paper-cutting with its festive patterns, like the“Fu”character, is a beautiful symbol of our culture and New Year wishes. It offers a hands-on way for our friends to feel the joy of the festival. Second, the process of creating a paper-cut requires focus and patience, providing a practical experience in craftsmanship. For the workshop, we could start with a short demonstration of basic techniques. Then, under guidance, everyone could try to cut out a simple but meaningful pattern. Their finished works would make perfect personal souvenirs. I believe this activity will be both educational and festive, fostering cross-cultural understanding. Thank you for considering my suggestion. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 续写范文 Her heart leaped as she grabbed the phone, the screen glowing in the dark room. The vibration surprised Marisa. With a heart full of hope and worry, she quickly picked up the phone. It was a message from a man named Andy in the group. “Don’t worry,” he said. “I have a keyboard you can use. Where do you live?” Marisa sent her address with shaking hands. Soon, they decided to meet at the grocery store parking lot across the street. She put on her coat and hurried out into the cold night. A car was there, and a man with two young people smiled at her. Together, they carried a nice keyboard and put it into her car. Paragraph 2: With the keyboard finally set up beside the stand, Marisa watched the first light of Christmas morning touch the living room window. Back home, Marisa set up the keyboard next to the stand. All her worry was gone, replaced by a warm and happy feeling. When Aubree ran into the living room on Christmas morning, she couldn’t believe her eyes. “Mom! It’s here!” she shouted, her face full of joy. As Aubree touched the keys, making the first beautiful sounds, Marisa watched with a smile. She realized this was more than just a gift. It was a Christmas miracle, made possible by the kindness of a stranger, and it made their Christmas the most wonderful one ever. 听力原文 Text 1 M: May I try the jacket on? W: By all means, but I think it will be a little large for you. Unfortunately, we don’t have any other sizes in stock. M: It doesn’t matter. I can get a tailor to redo it. Text 2 W: Jason rushed home as soon as he heard the news, only to find that his best friend had left. M: I’m so sad to hear that. How Jason wished they had held a small get-together every year! W: We should cherish the people around us while we still can. Text 3 M: Hey Amy, you are heading to Norway soon. How are you going to get there? W: Traveling by ferry allows passengers to enjoy a unique cultural experience during the journey. I’m a bit afraid of height, you know. And driving is tiring. Text 4 M: Excuse me, Ms. White. You said at the press conference that you would direct a new film. Who will you choose to play the lead role in the film? W: Not decided yet. But it should be someone who has played a wide variety of parts, I think. Text 5 W: The living room is clean and tidy, with a dining table already laid for a meal to be enjoyed. M: Yeah. I really feel happy for Emily, for she has such a good husband who is always standing behind her and supports her. W: Bob has sacrificed his career life to his family. M: But it’s worthy of it. Text 6 W: I’m broke, Dad. Can I have some money? M: Amanda, you are 17 years old. You are old enough to get a part-time job. W: But I’m still a student! I don’t have time to get a part-time job! M: You spend three hours every night playing computer games and watching TV. If you have time to waste doing that, you have time to earn money. W: But Dad, I don’t want to work! M: You’re just being lazy. Getting a part-time job will be a good experience for you. Text 7 W: Jack, I heard you plan to travel to Australia this summer. M: That’s right. W: Who will go with you? M: Nobody. I’ll go by myself. Someone from the language school will meet me at the airport. W: I think you are very brave to travel alone. Aren’t you nervous? M: Why should I be nervous? W: I would be very nervous. My English isn’t good enough to understand all the airport procedures. M: I guess I’m more confident in my English than you are. Text 8 W: Welcome, Enrique Martinez Celaya. I’m glad you accepted my invitation to be on the show. I know you were living in Spain as a child. M: Yes, my family emigrated from Cuba to Spain in 1972, and then to Puerto Rico a few years later. When we moved to Puerto Rico I became an apprentice for a painter. W: So when you were learning to be a painter, how old were you? M: I was around ten or eleven. W: Would you talk a little about your apprenticeship? M: At first I did many still-life drawings, pastel portraits and copies of Leonardo’s paintings—not very well. As I got older that interest in academic drawing continued, but it took the form of narrative paintings—descriptions of what was happening around me. I still have a few of those paintings. W: I heard that you’ve tendered your resignation at Pomona College. M: Yeah, it was a hard decision. I thought about it for three years before I did it. My approach ultimately failed and that is, partly, why I quit. I couldn’t teach in the environment of the institution as it existed and be happy about it. W: This is not the first time you’ve made a big change like that. You were just about to take your doctorate in physics and you made a dramatic turn there. Text 9 M: Good morning, Ms. March. I’ve chosen the Star Travel for you. Now I have some details to confirm. W: OK. Oh, I forgot to tell you that we have an account with Star Travel. M: That’s right. The supervisor of personnel told me about that. W: Great. I’d like to book a flight to Munich on the 18th of November. Are there any seats left? M: I’ll check on the iPad right now... Ms. March, do you have a preference for any particular airline? W: I’d prefer British Airways, Air France or Lufthansa. M: OK. Now, let me see. There’s availability on the 18th on an early morning flight with Lufthansa. W: How early? M: It leaves at 6:30 a.m. and arrives at 8:00 a.m. Would that suit you? W: Yes, that would be fine. M: I’ve booked it. The booking reference number is LF2254G. W: OK, thanks very much. And don’t forget to arrange a pick-up service at the Munich Airport. M: Copy that. Text 10 W: An endangered sperm whale that was recently spotted swimming at a beach in Western Australia has died after becoming beached on a sandbar. Wildlife officials say that the whale was elderly and sick. However, they are still attempting to learn more about what caused the whale to become stranded. Wildlife officials say at the time the elderly sperm whale was first spotted, the whale was already demonstrating concerning behaviors, such as swimming close to shore and in tight circles. It eventually returned to deeper waters but wildlife officials warned the public it was at risk of stranding and advised them to avoid it. A few days after being spotted, the beach was closed to the public and officials tried to save the whale. However, ultimately the elderly sperm whale passed away. The whale’s body will be removed to avoid attracting sharks. Sperm whales are found in deep oceans around the world. Their populations suffered significantly due to widespread whaling. However, they are slowly beginning to see population gains according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). However, they remain listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
