B From an early age, Edward Norton was taught what protecting the environment really needs. His father, an environmental lawyer, founded the Grand Canyon Trust and his grandfather was a pioneer in low-income housing policy. Norton built his own career in a different field, becoming one of his generation’s most respected actors. When Norton first became famous, he concluded that he wasn’t interested in ordinary celebrity work. “I am not interested in being a spokesperson,” he says. “It’s not that I don’t believe those things are important, but that held no nourishment for me.” What does nourish Norton is his work with a Kenya-based organization called the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust, which helps the Maasai people make a living while protecting the environment. One project that Norton is particularly proud of channels profits from the sale of carbon offsets (补偿) to local Maasai communities who use that money to support health, education, and conservation initiatives. One challenge that concerns Norton would be familiar to his father and grandfather: raising funds. This led Norton to a realization: “We can’t have the conservation movement depend only on donor funds,” he says. “It not only can’t scale; it’s fundamentally unstable.” A new model is needed. Norton and his partners argue that tourist dollars being spent in fragile places ought to remain in-country-or better yet, in-community. Norton and his team have started a company called Conservation Equity that will invest in tourism in African places and will reinvest its profits locally instead of paying distant shareholders. Norton is optimistic about the model’s prospects. “I think what we are doing has no previous example to follow. The needs of people are not going to stop, and we can’t stop either. If the work of restoring mature can’t produce a stronger and more reliable economy, the effort will fail.” 4. How did Norton feel about being a typical celebrity spokesperson? A. Enthusiastic. B. Tolerant. C. Confused. D. Dissatisfied. 5. What is Norton’s main concern about the conservation movement? A. Expansion of its public influence. B. Failure to meet the needs of local communities. C. Lack of a stable source of funding. D. Repetition of the faults of previous generations. 6. What is special about Norton’s new model of conservation? A. Downplaying the value of nature. B. Focusing on local children’s education. C. Benefiting local economic development. D. Raising funds from distant donors. 7. Which of the following words best describe Norton? A. Confident and honest B. Practical and pioneering. C. Generous and talented. D. Insightful and conventional. C Children often surprise us by rapidly mastering new skills — from shaky first steps to confident running, or progressing from unclear sounds to complete sentences. While children absorb knowledge like sponges (海绵), adults may struggle for years to master similar tasks. What explains this difference? Contrary (相反的) to popular belief, children don’t naturally possess magical learning abilities. Dr. Debbie Ravenscroft, an early childhood expert, notes that while young children generally perform worse than older peers in most areas, their early years offer unique advantages. A key factor is neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to rewire itself through experience. This adaptability peaks before age five, allowing children to quickly form (or discard) habits and absorb new information. Language learning highlights this advantage. Babies naturally detect rhythms and sounds of their native language, often becoming fluent speakers by age four. Research suggests infants initially perceive subtle linguistic details lost to adults, enabling them to distinguish sounds from any global language. However, this sensitivity fades after adolescence (青春期), making early exposure critical. Beyond language, brain chemistry plays a role. A 2022 study found that during visual training, children’s brains rapidly produce GABA, a chemical that stabilizes new knowledge. Adults showed no such increase, suggesting children’s brains are biologically ready to improve learning efficiently. “Elementary-aged children learn more in less time than adults.” explains Professor Takeo Watanabe, co-author of the study. Yet, speed alone isn’t enough. Supportive environments are essential. Ravenscroft emphasizes that caring adults, access to learning materials, and paced guidance augment children’s potential. For instance, reading to babies fosters both bonding and brain development. Birth to age five is a “critical window” when children’s brains — busier than adults’ — actively interpret the world through interactions. While children’s rapid learning stems from neuroplasticity, biological factors, and environmental support, rushing their progress can be harmful. Allowing time to process knowledge and nurturing curiosity, rather than forcing speed, helps build lifelong learners. As Ravenscroft advises, “An environment that respects a child’s natural pace unlocks richer opportunities for growth.” 8. What do most people commonly believe about children’s learning ability? A. Children learn quickly from professionals. B. Children generally perform worse than adults. C. Children were born with magical learning power. D. Children progress with the development of their neuroplasticity. 9. According to the 2022 study, how does GABA affect children? A. It deepens their understanding of previous knowledge. B. It strengthens their stabilization of new information. C. It biologically lowers children’s learning efficiency. D. It empowers children with the ability to distinguish sounds. 10. What does the underlined word “augment” probably mean in paragraph 5? A. Maximize. B. Disrespect. C. Ignore. D. Prove. 11. Which of the following would Dr. Ravenscroft probably agree with? A. Children need pressure and tight schedules to achieve their best results. B. Learning works best when children follow their own rhythm and curiosity. C. Faster completion of tasks is the key to successful early education. D. Parents should set weekly goals to speed up children’s language development. D A research team from the University of Basel in Switzerland has developed a new molecule (分子) modeled on plant photosynthesis (光合作用). Under light, it stores two positive and two negative charges at the same time, aiming to change sunlight into carbon-neutral fuels (碳中和燃料) . Plants use sunlight to turn CO2 into energy — rich sugars through photosynthesis — a process that supports nearly all life. Animals and humans “burn” these carbohydrates (碳水化合物) for energy, giving off CO2 again to close the cycle. Researchers want to copy this natural process to make solar fuels. If burned, they would produce only as much CO2 as that was needed to produce the fuels. In the journal Nature Chemistry, Professor Oliver Wenger and his student Mathis Brändlin reported on a key step toward achieving artificial photosynthesis: to store four charges (two positive, two negative) under light. Keeping several charges is key for changing sunlight into chemical energy, as the charges can power reactions like breaking water down into a kind of gas (H2) and another kind of gas (O2). The molecule has five connected parts: two that let out electrons(becoming positive), two that take electrons(becoming negative), and a middle part that catches sunlight to start electron movement. In order to make the four charges, the researchers took a step-by-step approach using two flashes of light. The first flash of light hits the molecule and starts a reaction in which a positive charge and a negative charge are created. These charges travel outward to the opposite ends of the molecule. With the second flash of light, the same reaction occurs again, so that the molecule then contains two positive and two negative charges. Brändlin explains, “This step-by-step start lets us use much weaker light — we’re now close to sunlight strength.” Earlier research needed extremely strong laser (激光) light, which was far from artificial photosynthesis goals. He adds, “The molecule’s charges remain unchanged long enough for further reactions.” Wenger says, “We haven’t created a full system, but have found a key piece.” The new findings raise understanding of key electron movements, and he hopes, “This aids long-lasting energy development.” 12. What’s the function of the new molecule? A. To turn sunlight into fuels. B. To change the photosynthesis. C. To study plants’ life-supporting role. D. To store charges in dark conditions. 13. Which of the following can best describe the new findings? A. Average. B. Mixed. C. Alarming. D. Promising. 14 Why is it important to store more than one charge? A. It drives chemical reactions. B. It forms energy-rich molecules. C. It helps take in CO2 from the air. D. It connects the molecule’s five parts. 15. What can be learnt from the last paragraph? A. A full system is ready. B. Weaker light works now. C. Strong laser light is still needed. D. The charges become unbalanced quickly. 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。 Artificial Intelligence in Modern Life The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into daily life is transforming how we work and live.

Karl was delighted that he had created a very satisfying work. So he walked to the back of the classroom to put his work away carefully. There, lying on the ground in front of the classroom bookcase was a golden ticket! Karl picked it up. His heart beat faster when he saw that the name line was blank (空白的). He couldn’t believe his luck! The boys and girls in Karl’s class could earn golden tickets by doing well in their study or by being extra helpful or kind. Once a week their teacher drew a ticket out of a box on her desk and let the winner choose a prize. Today was the golden ticket drawing, and here was another ticket, just for him! Karl looked around. No one else was near the ticket.All his classmates were at their desks, laughing and talking with each other. Miss Evans was engaged in grading the papers collected earlier in the morning. Karl decided to write his name on the blank line. Then he could put it into the prize box with the six tickets he’d already earned. With so many chances, one of his tickets would most probably be picked! Then he could choose the pink toy pig for his sister’s birthday, just like he had been hoping. He smiled and reached for the pencil in his pocket. Suddenly his fingers stopped. There was a strange feeling in his chest, and it wasn’t his heartbeat. “Finders are keepers, right?” he wondered. He looked out of the window and tried to figure it out. On the one hand, he did find the ticket, but he hadn’t earned it. Somebody must have lost it. But on the other hand, he did need this extra ticket for his great plan! 注意: 1.续写词数应 150 左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Karl looked at the blank name line for a moment. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Karl, I intend to give you another ticket!” Miss Evans said. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 湛江市2025—2026学年度第一学期期末调研考试 高二英语 试卷共8页，卷面满分120分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 非选择题的作答：用签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4. 考试结束后，请将本试题卷和答题卡一并上交。 第一部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Head On Photo Festival represents a global selection of the best work from established and emerging photographers.

A 2022 study found that during visual training, children’s brains rapidly produce GABA, a chemical that stabilizes new knowledge.(除了语言因素外，大脑的化学物质也起到了作用。2022年的一项研究发现，在视觉训练过程中，儿童的大脑会迅速产生一种名为γ-氨基丁酸（GABA）的化学物质，这种物质能够帮助巩固新获得的知识)”可知，根据2022年的研究，GABA能增强儿童对新信息的吸收能力。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“For instance, reading to babies fosters both bonding and brain development.(例如，给婴儿读书既能增进亲子关系，又能促进其大脑发育)”以及上文“caring adults, access to learning materials, and paced guidance(有爱心的成年人、充足的学习资源以及循序渐进的指导)”可知，对儿童阅读能培养他们的社交和脑部发育，即有爱心的成年人、充足的学习资源以及循序渐进的指导可以最大化婴儿的潜力，故划线词意思是“最大化”。故选A。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Allowing time to process knowledge and nurturing curiosity, rather than forcing speed, helps build lifelong learners. As Ravenscroft advises, “An environment that respects a child’s natural pace unlocks richer opportunities for growth.”(给予时间来消化知识、培养好奇心，而非一味追求速度，这有助于培养终身学习者。正如拉文斯克罗夫特所建议的那样：“一个尊重孩子自然节奏的环境能够为孩子的成长开启更多更丰富的机遇。”)”可知，学习效果最佳的情况是孩子按照自己的节奏和兴趣来进行学习。故选B。 D A research team from the University of Basel in Switzerland has developed a new molecule (分子) modeled on plant photosynthesis (光合作用). Under light, it stores two positive and two negative charges at the same time, aiming to change sunlight into carbon-neutral fuels (碳中和燃料) . Plants use sunlight to turn CO2 into energy — rich sugars through photosynthesis — a process that supports nearly all life. Animals and humans “burn” these carbohydrates (碳水化合物) for energy, giving off CO2 again to close the cycle. Researchers want to copy this natural process to make solar fuels. If burned, they would produce only as much CO2 as that was needed to produce the fuels. In the journal Nature Chemistry, Professor Oliver Wenger and his student Mathis Brändlin reported on a key step toward achieving artificial photosynthesis: to store four charges (two positive, two negative) under light. Keeping several charges is key for changing sunlight into chemical energy, as the charges can power reactions like breaking water down into a kind of gas (H2) and another kind of gas (O2). The molecule has five connected parts: two that let out electrons(becoming positive), two that take electrons(becoming negative), and a middle part that catches sunlight to start electron movement. In order to make the four charges, the researchers took a step-by-step approach using two flashes of light. The first flash of light hits the molecule and starts a reaction in which a positive charge and a negative charge are created. These charges travel outward to the opposite ends of the molecule. With the second flash of light, the same reaction occurs again, so that the molecule then contains two positive and two negative charges. Brändlin explains, “This step-by-step start lets us use much weaker light — we’re now close to sunlight strength.” Earlier research needed extremely strong laser (激光) light, which was far from artificial photosynthesis goals. He adds, “The molecule’s charges remain unchanged long enough for further reactions.” Wenger says, “We haven’t created a full system, but have found a key piece.” The new findings raise understanding of key electron movements, and he hopes, “This aids long-lasting energy development.” 12. What’s the function of the new molecule? A. To turn sunlight into fuels. B. To change the photosynthesis. C. To study plants’ life-supporting role. D. To store charges in dark conditions. 13. Which of the following can best describe the new findings? A. Average. B. Mixed. C. Alarming. D. Promising. 14. Why is it important to store more than one charge? A. It drives chemical reactions. B. It forms energy-rich molecules. C. It helps take in CO2 from the air. D. It connects the molecule’s five parts. 15. What can be learnt from the last paragraph? A. A full system is ready. B. Weaker light works now. C. Strong laser light is still needed. D. The charges become unbalanced quickly. 【答案】12 A 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了瑞士巴塞尔大学团队研发的模拟植物光合作用的新分子，及其储电和助力制造太阳能燃料的进展。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Under light, it stores two positive and two negative charges at the same time, aiming to change sunlight into carbon-neutral fuels (碳中和燃料). (在光照下，它同时储存两个正电荷和两个负电荷，旨在将阳光转化为碳中和燃料。)”可知，新分子的功能是将阳光转化为燃料。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Wenger says, “We haven’t created a full system, but have found a key piece.” The new findings raise understanding of key electron movements, and he hopes, “This aids long-lasting energy development.”(Wenger说：‘我们还没有创建一个完整的系统，但已经找到了一个关键部分。’新发现提高了对关键电子运动的理解，他希望：‘这有助于长期能源发展。’)”可知，研究团队认为这一发现虽然还未形成完整系统，但已经找到了关键部分，对长期能源发展有帮助，由此可推知，新发现是很有前途的。故选D项。 14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Keeping several charges is key for changing sunlight into chemical energy, as the charges can power reactions like breaking water down into a kind of gas (H2) and another kind of gas (O2). (保持多个电荷是将阳光转化为化学能的关键，因为电荷可以为分解水为一种气体（H2）和另一种气体（O2）等反应提供动力。)”可知，储存多个电荷很重要是因为它能驱动化学反应。故选A项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Brändlin explains, “This step-by-step start lets us use much weaker light — we’re now close to sunlight strength.” (Brändlin解释说：‘这种逐步启动的方式让我们可以使用更弱的光——我们现在接近阳光的强度。’)”可知，从最后一段可以了解到较弱的光现在也能起作用了。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。 Artificial Intelligence in Modern Life The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into daily life is transforming how we work and live.

Karl was delighted that he had created a very satisfying work. So he walked to the back of the classroom to put his work away carefully. There, lying on the ground in front of the classroom bookcase was a golden ticket! Karl picked it up. His heart beat faster when he saw that the name line was blank (空白的). He couldn’t believe his luck! The boys and girls in Karl’s class could earn golden tickets by doing well in their study or by being extra helpful or kind. Once a week their teacher drew a ticket out of a box on her desk and let the winner choose a prize. Today was the golden ticket drawing, and here was another ticket, just for him! Karl looked around. No one else was near the ticket.All his classmates were at their desks, laughing and talking with each other. Miss Evans was engaged in grading the papers collected earlier in the morning. Karl decided to write his name on the blank line. Then he could put it into the prize box with the six tickets he’d already earned. With so many chances, one of his tickets would most probably be picked! Then he could choose the pink toy pig for his sister’s birthday, just like he had been hoping. He smiled and reached for the pencil in his pocket. Suddenly his fingers stopped. There was a strange feeling in his chest, and it wasn’t his heartbeat. “Finders are keepers, right?” he wondered. He looked out of the window and tried to figure it out. On the one hand, he did find the ticket, but he hadn’t earned it. Somebody must have lost it. But on the other hand, he did need this extra ticket for his great plan! 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。 Karl looked at the blank name line for a moment. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Karl, I intend to give you another ticket!” Miss Evans said. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Karl looked at the blank name line for a moment. He knew his plan wouldn’t be so great if he won with a ticket that didn’t belong to him. So he walked up to his teacher. “Miss Evans, I happened to find this ticket on the floor near the bookcase. I think the one who lost it will look for it. And these are mine,” he said, dropping his six tickets into the box. When he turned around to leave, the teacher stopped him. “Karl, I intend to give you another ticket!” Miss Evans said. Karl was amazed and wondered why. Miss Evans smiled and signed to the class to quiet down, “Karl handed in the golden ticket he had just found. I think he is honest and deserves another one!” The class burst into loud applause. Karl happily went back to his seat, eagerly expecting the ticket drawing. He still wanted his name to be picked, but he would feel OK even if it wasn’t. After all, making the right choice did make him feel great! 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了卡尔在教室后面发现一张空白的金色奖励券。在他们班，学生可以通过学习优秀、乐于助人或表现友善获得金色奖励券，每周老师会从盒子里抽取一张奖励券，让获奖者挑选奖品。卡尔本想把自己的名字写在空白处，以增加获奖机会为妹妹赢得粉色玩具猪，但他内心又因这张奖券并非自己挣得而纠结。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“卡尔盯着空白的姓名栏看了一会儿。”可知，第一段续写应围绕卡尔内心的挣扎与最终的决定展开，描述他经过思考后，战胜诱惑，做出正确选择，将捡到的奖券交给老师的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容““卡尔，我打算再给你一张券！” 埃文斯老师说道。”可知，第二段可续写要体现老师对卡尔行为的认可，描述老师当众表扬卡尔的诚实，并奖励他一张奖券，最后写卡尔回到座位，对抽奖结果心态的转变，突出他做出正确选择后的满足感。 2.续写线索：卡尔做出决定（思考后放弃不正当想法，将捡到的奖券交给老师）——老师奖励卡尔（老师当众表扬卡尔诚实并奖励奖券，卡尔开心回座位，心态转变，因做出正确选择而满足 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①放下：drop/put down ②转身：turn around/spin around ③选择：pick/select/choose 情绪类 ①开心地：happily/joyfully ②惊讶的：amazed/astonished 【点睛】【高分句型 1】He knew his plan wouldn’t be so great if he won with a ticket that didn’t belong to him.（运用了 if 引导的条件状语从句以及 that 引导的定语从句） 【高分句型 2】Karl happily went back to his seat, eagerly expecting the ticket drawing.（运用现在分词expecting作伴随状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
