She supervises 26 staff at her store. She’s loving it. However, a few years ago, Stacy was in a much different place. But a little banana loaf, and a lot of inner strength helped change her life. “When you’re in an abusive (虐待的) relationship, your whole life turns upside down,” she said. In 2015, that’s what Stacy was facing. But that Christmas, she made a change. “I decided to take the first step to reclaim my life and leave,” she said. “I packed up my stuff and went to a shelter.” When she got there, Stacy had a place to stay and fresh meals every day. “When I walked into the kitchen, there was a plate of Starbucks pastries. I sat there with my little banana loaf and said to myself, ‘OK, everything’s going to be OK.’” The shelter Stacy stayed at received food through the Starbucks FoodShare food donation program. Through the program, Starbucks donates unsold ready-to-eat meals from local stores such as breakfast sandwiches, protein boxes, pastries and more. This high-quality food would be otherwise buried underground. Stacy’s bravery and strength pushed her to leave her abuser for good. And, the stability and support from the shelter helped too. Now, Stacy has an opportunity to give a little back. Her Starbucks store is also part of the FoodShare program, donating unsold food to food pantries and other programs in her area. Because of the dedication of Stacy and her staff, they’re able to provide a little extra help — and maybe some banana loaf — to people facing hunger in her community. 4. What did Stacy Nichols do on Christmas in 2015? A. She left her abuser for a shelter. B. She started making banana loaf. C. She worked at a Starbucks store. D. She turned to the FoodShare program. 5. What can we know about the Starbucks FoodShare program? A. It sells unsold food at lower prices. B. It helps reduce food waste effectively. C. It was created especially to help Stacy. D.

Thankfully, it’s just a dream. But why are you still having school-related dreams years after graduating? Dr. Alex Dimitriu, a psychiatrist and sleep medicine doctor in Menlo Park, Calif. , says that dreams of feeling unprepared can arise from stress in your day-to-day life. But dreaming specifically about feeling unprepared at school, he says, could be because those are such formative years in people’s lives. “For a lot of us, school is really the first time that we got that feeling of stressful non-preparation,” he says. Another explanation, according to Seltermanan, an associate teaching professor of psychology at Johns Hopkins University who researches dreaming, is that people may be reminded of school based on the time of year. For instance, the end of August and beginning of September may trigger more memories or dreams of school, since that’s when the academic year starts. These types of dreams are so common that having them every once in a while isn’t typically something to be concerned about. But if you’ re having them a lot, that could be a sign of another issue, such as having too much stress in your life. Dimitriu recommends that people try addressing that stress either by making a change in their life to eliminate it or finding ways to cope with it. Some people may also have weird or stressful dreams because of poor sleep hygiene (卫生), Dimitriu says. He recommends that people go to bed and wake up at roughly the same time each day, and avoid eating large meals or drinking alcohol before going to sleep. And he encourages people to schedule some time to unwind before bed. “The human brain can’t go from 100 miles per hour to zero in 20 minutes,” he says. Stress dreams are “a reminder to focus on relaxing, and a reminder to focus on sleep,” Dimitriu says. “I cannot underscore enough how important sleep is.” 8. Why does the author mention the dream he had? A. To lead into a topic. B. To support an idea. C. To explain a concept. D. To present an example. 9. What can we know about frequent school-related dreams? A. They are a normal phenomenon. B. They may indicate great stress in life. C. They happen during the summer holiday. D. They largely reflect unhappy school experiences. 10. What does the underlined word “unwind” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Reflect. B. Stretch. C. Prepare. D. Relax. 11. What can be a suitable title for the passage? A. How You Manage Stress before Bedtime B. When Stress Dreams Most Likely Happen C. Why You still Have Stress Dreams about School D. How You Remove Stressful School-Related Dreams 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章解析了毕业多年仍做上学相关压力梦的原因，包括日常压力、季节联想，还给出了减少此类梦境的建议，强调睡眠和放松的重要性。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“It’s the morning of your big exam, and you’re panicking because you haven’t been to a single class all semester. Thankfully, it’s just a dream. But why are you still having school-related dreams years after graduating?(今天是你大考的日子，可你却慌作一团 —— 这学期你一节课都没去上。幸好，这只是个梦。但为什么毕业多年后，你还会反复做和上学相关的梦呢？)”以及下文内容可知，作者提及这个梦境是为了引出毕业多年仍做上学相关压力梦的原因这一文章主题。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“But if you’re having them a lot, that could be a sign of another issue, such as having too much stress in your life.(但如果你频繁做这类梦，这可能是另一个问题的信号，比如生活中的压力过大。)”可知，频繁做和上学相关的梦可能表明生活中存在巨大的压力。故选B项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“He recommends that people go to bed and wake up at roughly the same time each day, and avoid eating large meals or drinking alcohol before going to sleep. And he encourages people to schedule some time to unwind before bed. “The human brain can’t go from 100 miles per hour to zero in 20 minutes,” he says.(他建议人们每天大致在同一时间睡觉和起床，睡前避免吃大餐或饮酒。同时他鼓励大家在睡前安排一些时间unwind。“人类的大脑不可能在20分钟内从高速运转瞬间切换到静止状态，”他说道。)”并结合大脑需要从活跃到平静的过渡可推断， “unwind”意为“放松”。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文特别是第一段“It’s the morning of your big exam, and you’re panicking because you haven’t been to a single class all semester. Thankfully, it’s just a dream. But why are you still having school-related dreams years after graduating?(今天是你大考的日子，可你却慌作一团 —— 这学期你一节课都没去上。幸好，这只是个梦。但为什么毕业多年后，你还会反复做和上学相关的梦呢？)”可知，文章以毕业多年仍做上学相关的压力梦为切入点，介绍了心理学家对这类梦境产生的原因分析，还说明频繁做此类梦的潜在问题及改善建议。所以C项Why You still Have Stress Dreams about School(为什么你仍然对学校有压力梦)符合语境。故选C项。 D Plastic pollution remains one of the most serious environmental problems worldwide. For many years, scientists have tried to create workable biodegradable (可生物降解的) alternatives. However, many plastics, including those using natural materials like bamboo or seaweed, have often been difficult to break down effectively on a large scale, limiting their real-world use. An important step forward now comes from research at Rutgers University, inspired by nature’s own efficient systems. Noticing that natural materials such as DNA break down relatively easily, researchers found the reason: these biological molecules (分子) contain special built-in chemical parts known as “neighbouring groups.” These groups help the material break down from within. By creating artificial versions of these parts and adding them during the plastic-making process, scientists can now design materials with a specific, planned lifespan — whether meant to last days, months, or years. This new technology is to create plastics with finely-tuned lifespans that could quickly break down, showing great promise for short-use items. Products like food packaging and other short-lived consumer materials could be made to stay strong during use but degrade safely soon after, offering a clear environmental benefit. However, the technology has limits. It is not yet suitable for long-term uses where materials must stay strong for decades, such as in buildings or cars. Another current drawback is its need for UV light, including ordinary sunlight, to start the breaking-down process. This means plastics thrown away in landfills or covered up will not break down as they should. Key issues must be solved before wide use. The safety of the small pieces left after breakdown needs careful testing to make sure they are not harmful to nature. Scientists are still working to improve the system, mainly aiming to enable decomposition (分解) without light exposure. Still, this progress in creating plastics with a planned lifespan is a significant move forward. By building controlled breakdown into the material itself, it opens a practical path toward smarter plastics that do their job and then safely disappear, which could help reduce the lasting problem of plastic pollution. 12. What is the advantage of the new plastic developed by researchers? A. It’s stronger than traditional plastic. B. Its breakdown time can be precisely set. C. It decomposes faster than regular plastic. D. It’s made entirely from natural materials. 13. What enables the new plastic to break down? A. Being buried underground for months. B. Exposure to high temperatures in landfills. C. Natural materials like seaweed or bamboo. D. Special chemical groups added during production. 14. What can we know about the decomposition process? A. It works better in wet conditions. B. It requires high temperatures to start. C. Dark environments prevent decomposition. D. The breakdown products are definitely safe. 15. What does the author think of the the new technology? A. Useless. B. Promising. C. Perfect. D. Impractical. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。罗格斯大学研发出可预设降解时间的新型塑料，添特殊化学基团、需紫外线启动分解，虽存局限但为缓解塑料污染提供了实用路径。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“By creating artificial versions of these parts and adding them during the plastic-making process, scientists can now design materials with a specific, planned lifespan — whether meant to last days, months, or years.(科学家通过人工合成这些成分，并在塑料的生产过程中将其添加进去，如今已能设计出具备特定、预设使用寿命的材料 —— 其使用时长可按需求设定为数日、数月乃至数年。)”可知，这款新塑料的优势是其分解时间可以被精确设定。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Noticing that natural materials such as DNA break down relatively easily, researchers found the reason: these biological molecules (分子) contain special built-in chemical parts known as “neighbouring groups.” These groups help the material break down from within. By creating artificial versions of these parts and adding them during the plastic-making process, scientists can now design materials with a specific, planned lifespan — whether meant to last days, months, or years.(研究人员发现，DNA等天然材料相对易分解，究其原因，是这些生物分子中含有一种名为“相邻基团”的特殊内置化学结构。这类基团能助力材料从内部实现分解。科学家通过人工合成该结构，并在塑料的生产过程中将其添加进去，如今已能设计出具备特定预设使用寿命的材料 —— 其使用时长可按需设定为数日、数月乃至数年。)”可知，是生产过程中添加的特殊化学基团让新塑料能够分解。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Another current drawback is its need for UV light, including ordinary sunlight, to start the breaking-down process. This means plastics thrown away in landfills or covered up will not break down as they should.(目前的另一个缺点是，它需要紫外线（包括普通阳光）来启动分解过程。这意味着被扔进垃圾填埋场或被遮盖的塑料将无法正常分解。)”可知，黑暗的环境会阻碍其分解。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Still, this progress in creating plastics with a planned lifespan is a significant move forward. By building controlled breakdown into the material itself, it opens a practical path toward smarter plastics that do their job and then safely disappear, which could help reduce the lasting problem of plastic pollution.(尽管如此，在研发具有预设使用寿命的塑料方面取得的这一进展，仍是一项意义重大的突破。通过在材料本身融入可控降解设计，这种技术为研发更智能的塑料开辟了切实可行的路径 —— 这类塑料既能发挥其应有功能，随后又能安全降解，进而有望缓解塑料污染这一长期存在的难题。)”可知，作者认为这项新技术是有前景的。故选B项。 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。 Social anxiety can turn simple conversations into stressful experiences.

The scoreboard showed a tie, 78-78, in the championship game. The final buzzer (哨声) could sound at any moment. I stood alone on the free-throw line, given two shots that would decide the game. My palms were sweating. One thought crossed my mind: would this moment be the beginning of my basketball career, or the end? A year ago, I was the boy at the very end of the bench. I wasn’t tall or particularly coordinated (动作协调), so the coach rarely put me in games. Even when I did play, I was so nervous that I would miss even the simplest passes. My teammates never blamed me, but the disappointment in their eyes felt like a small thorn in my heart. I would never forget my first official game last semester. We were leading by two points in the final moments when the coach surprisingly sent me in to play defense. The opponent immediately attacked me, their weakest point, scored, and drew a foul. We lost. I was crying in the locker room, apologizing to everyone. But the team captain just patted my shoulder and said, “Basketball is a team sport. We win and lose together as a team.” That night, the coach found me practicing alone. “Do you know why you always underperform?” he asked, pointing at the court. “It’s because you’ re too focused on proving yourself, and you forget why you’re standing here in the first place.” He told me to close my eyes. “From today on,” he said, “I want you to take 200 extra shots every day. But before each shot, you must look at the basket and believe the ball will go in.” From that day on, the empty court became my best friend. I practiced at dawn; I practiced after dark. Dribbling, jumping, shooting — I repeated each movement thousands of times. During the toughest moments,I would sit on the sidelines with the basketball in my arms, looking at my worn-out shoes and sore fingers, wondering if all this hard work was worth it. But now, with thousands of eyes in the gym fixed on me, I suddenly understood the meaning of all that effort. At this moment, all the sweat, tears, and dreams were held in the basketball in my hands. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I took a deep breath, my fingertips gently rubbing the familiar lines of the basketball. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the referee’s final buzzer sounded, the entire gym burst into cheers. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I took a deep breath, my fingertips gently rubbing the familiar lines of the basketball. I closed my eyes for just a second, remembering the coach’s words: “Believe the ball will go in.” The noise of the crowd faded away. All that remained was the basket, the ball, and the quiet certainty in my chest. I bent my knees, raised my elbow, and released the first shot — it swished cleanly through the net. Without hesitation, I caught the second ball, exhaled, and repeated the motion. This time, the arc was perfect, the spin steady. It kissed the rim and dropped in. When the referee’s final buzzer sounded, the entire gym burst into cheers. My teammates rushed toward me, lifting me off the ground as if I weighed nothing. Tears welled in my eyes—not from relief, but from gratitude. Every early morning, every sore muscle, every moment of doubt had led to this. I looked up at the scoreboard: 80–78. We’d won. But more than that, I’d finally found my place — not as the boy on the bench, but as someone who belonged on the court, not because of talent, but because of heart. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者曾是篮球队替补，因紧张、动作不协调表现不佳，在一次比赛失利后，听从教练的建议，每天额外练习200次投篮，经过不懈努力，最终在冠军赛的关键时刻，站在罚球线上，承担起决定比赛胜负的重任的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我深吸一口气，指尖轻轻摩挲着篮球上熟悉的纹路。”可知，第一段可描写作者回忆教练的话，摒除杂念，依次投出两个罚球，均成功入网，完成了关键得分。 ②由第二段首句内容“当裁判的终场哨声响起时，整个体育馆爆发出欢呼声。”可知，第二段可描写队友们向作者庆祝，作者热泪盈眶，感慨努力终有回报，不仅赢得比赛，更找到了自己在球队中的位置。 2. 续写线索：罚球前调整心态——回忆教练的话——投中两个关键罚球——终场哨响、全场欢呼——队友庆祝——感悟努力的意义、找到自身价值 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①投（球）：release/shoot ②欢呼：burst into cheers/cheere loudly ③冲向：rushed toward/ran to/dash for 情绪类 ①坚定：certainty/determination ②感激：gratitude/appreciation ③欣慰：relief/comfort 【点睛】[高分句型1] I closed my eyes for just a second, remembering the coach’s words: “Believe the ball will go in.”（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2] But more than that, I’d finally found my place — not as the boy on the bench, but as someone who belonged on the court, not because of talent, but because of heart.（运用了who引导定语从句修饰someone以及“not...but...”连接并列结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 赣州市2025~2026学年度第一学期期末考试高二英语试卷 2026年2月 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用 橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无 效。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答 题卡上。 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 段对话读两遍。 1.

However, a few years ago, Stacy was in a much different place. But a little banana loaf, and a lot of inner strength helped change her life. “When you’re in an abusive (虐待) relationship, your whole life turns upside down,” she said. In 2015, that’s what Stacy was facing. But that Christmas, she made a change. “I decided to take the first step to reclaim my life and leave,” she said. “I packed up my stuff and went to a shelter.” When she got there, Stacy had a place to stay and fresh meals every day. “When I walked into the kitchen, there was a plate of Starbucks pastries. I sat there with my little banana loaf and said to myself, ‘OK, everything’s going to be OK.’” The shelter Stacy stayed at received food through the Starbucks FoodShare food donation program. Through the program, Starbucks donates unsold ready-to-eat meals from local stores such as breakfast sandwiches, protein boxes, pastries and more. This high-quality food would be otherwise buried underground. Stacy’s bravery and strength pushed her to leave her abuser for good. And, the stability and support from the shelter helped too. Now, Stacy has an opportunity to give a little back. Her Starbucks store is also part of the FoodShare program, donating unsold food to food pantries and other programs in her area. Because of the dedication of Stacy and her staff, they’re able to provide a little extra help — and maybe some banana loaf — to people facing hunger in her community. 4. What did Stacy Nichols do on Christmas in 2015? A. She left her abuser for a shelter. B. She started making banana loaf. C. She worked at a Starbucks store. D. She turned to the FoodShare program. 5. What can we know about the Starbucks FoodShare program? A. It sells unsold food at lower prices. B. It helps reduce food waste effectively. C. It was created especially to help Stacy. D. It provides free coffee to shelter residents. 6. Which of the following words best describes Stacy Nichols? A. Diligent and devoted. B. Outgoing and confident. C. Brave and grateful. D. Ambitious and independent. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. The importance of coffee in daily life. B. A woman’s journey from receiving to giving. C. A food donation program for reducing waste. D. The challenges of managing a Starbucks store. C It’s the morning of your big exam, and you’re panicking because you haven’t been to a single class all semester. Thankfully, it’s just a dream. But why are you still having school-related dreams years after graduating? Dr. Alex Dimitriu, a psychiatrist and sleep medicine doctor in Menlo Park, Calif. , says that dreams of feeling unprepared can arise from stress in your day-to-day life. But dreaming specifically about feeling unprepared at school, he says, could be because those are such formative years in people’s lives. “For a lot of us, school is really the first time that we got that feeling of stressful non-preparation,” he says. Another explanation, according to Seltermanan, an associate teaching professor of psychology at Johns Hopkins University who researches dreaming, is that people may be reminded of school based on the time of year. For instance, the end of August and beginning of September may trigger more memories or dreams of school, since that’s when the academic year starts. These types of dreams are so common that having them every once in a while isn’t typically something to be concerned about. But if you’ re having them a lot, that could be a sign of another issue, such as having too much stress in your life. Dimitriu recommends that people try addressing that stress either by making a change in their life to eliminate it or finding ways to cope with it. Some people may also have weird or stressful dreams because of poor sleep hygiene (卫生), Dimitriu says. He recommends that people go to bed and wake up at roughly the same time each day, and avoid eating large meals or drinking alcohol before going to sleep. And he encourages people to schedule some time to unwind before bed. “The human brain can’t go from 100 miles per hour to zero in 20 minutes,” he says. Stress dreams are “a reminder to focus on relaxing, and a reminder to focus on sleep,” Dimitriu says. “I cannot underscore enough how important sleep is.” 8.

For many years, scientists have tried to create workable biodegradable (可生物降解的) alternatives. However, many plastics, including those using natural materials like bamboo or seaweed, have often been difficult to break down effectively on a large scale, limiting their real-world use. An important step forward now comes from research at Rutgers University, inspired by nature’s own efficient systems. Noticing that natural materials such as DNA break down relatively easily, researchers found the reason: these biological molecules (分子) contain special built-in chemical parts known as “neighbouring groups.” These groups help the material break down from within. By creating artificial versions of these parts and adding them during the plastic-making process, scientists can now design materials with a specific, planned lifespan — whether meant to last days, months, or years. This new technology is to create plastics with finely-tuned lifespans that could quickly break down, showing great promise for short-use items. Products like food packaging and other short-lived consumer materials could be made to stay strong during use but degrade safely soon after, offering a clear environmental benefit. However, the technology has limits. It is not yet suitable for long-term uses where materials must stay strong for decades, such as in buildings or cars. Another current drawback is its need for UV light, including ordinary sunlight, to start the breaking-down process. This means plastics thrown away in landfills or covered up will not break down as they should. Key issues must be solved before wide use. The safety of the small pieces left after breakdown needs careful testing to make sure they are not harmful to nature. Scientists are still working to improve the system, mainly aiming to enable decomposition (分解) without light exposure. Still, this progress in creating plastics with a planned lifespan is a significant move forward. By building controlled breakdown into the material itself, it opens a practical path toward smarter plastics that do their job and then safely disappear, which could help reduce the lasting problem of plastic pollution. 12. What is the advantage of the new plastic developed by researchers? A. It’s stronger than traditional plastic. B. Its breakdown time can be precisely set. C. It decomposes faster than regular plastic. D. It’s made entirely from natural materials. 13. What enables the new plastic to break down? A. Being buried underground for months. B. Exposure to high temperatures in landfills. C. Natural materials like seaweed or bamboo. D. Special chemical groups added during production. 14. What can we know about the decomposition process? A. It works better in wet conditions. B. It requires high temperatures to start. C. Dark environments prevent decomposition. D. The breakdown products are definitely safe. 15. What does the author think of the the new technology? A. Useless. B. Promising. C. Perfect. D. Impractical. 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。 Social anxiety can turn simple conversations into stressful experiences.

The scoreboard showed a tie, 78-78, in the championship game. The final buzzer (哨声) could sound at any moment. I stood alone on the free-throw line, given two shots that would decide the game. My palms were sweating. One thought crossed my mind: would this moment be the beginning of my basketball career, or the end? A year ago, I was the boy at the very end of the bench. I wasn’t tall or particularly coordinated (动作协调), so the coach rarely put me in games. Even when I did play, I was so nervous that I would miss even the simplest passes. My teammates never blamed me, but the disappointment in their eyes felt like a small thorn in my heart. I would never forget my first official game last semester. We were leading by two points in the final moments when the coach surprisingly sent me in to play defense. The opponent immediately attacked me, their weakest point, scored, and drew a foul. We lost. I was crying in the locker room, apologizing to everyone. But the team captain just patted my shoulder and said, “Basketball is a team sport. We win and lose together as a team.” That night, the coach found me practicing alone. “Do you know why you always underperform?” he asked, pointing at the court. “It’s because you’ re too focused on proving yourself, and you forget why you’re standing here in the first place.” He told me to close my eyes. “From today on,” he said, “I want you to take 200 extra shots every day. But before each shot, you must look at the basket and believe the ball will go in.” From that day on, the empty court became my best friend. I practiced at dawn; I practiced after dark. Dribbling, jumping, shooting — I repeated each movement thousands of times. During the toughest moments,I would sit on the sidelines with the basketball in my arms, looking at my worn-out shoes and sore fingers, wondering if all this hard work was worth it. But now with thousands of eyes in the gym fixed on me, I suddenly understood the meaning of all that effort. At this moment, all the sweat, tears, and dreams were held in the basketball in my hands. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I took a deep breath, my fingertips gently rubbing the familiar lines of the basketball. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the referee’s final buzzer sounded, the entire gym burst into cheers. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
