ACTIVITY: A task or tasks for students to work on in the classroom. Each newsletter contains a set of questions related to the news. You might ask students to discuss all of them or just some of them. If you teach lower-level students, use the easier questions or just ask students to say what they think about the news. Other activities might include completing headlines, commenting on pictures, reporting what students have heard about the news, etc. Subscribe to the newsletter If you are an Unlimited or a Premium user and you’re subscribed to our newsletters, the News for Classroom Use newsletter will drop into your mailbox every Wednesday. 1. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To offer the latest news updates. B. To promote a teaching resource. C. To train future journalists in news writing. D. To introduce ESL Brains lesson plans. 2. What can we learn about the “INTRO” section? A. It summarizes the news story. B. It must be read aloud in class. C. It is only for advanced learners. D. It replaces discussion questions. 3. How can teachers guide beginner-level learners in news activities? A. By using difficult questions. B. By asking for their opinions. C. By making them write reports. D. By letting them comment on news. B In recent years, the concept of “slow travel” has appeared as a reaction to the fast-paced, mass tourism that dominates the industry. Slow travel encourages travelers to engage deeply with local cultures, stay longer in destinations, and form meaningful connections with local communities. One of the key principles of slow travel is to reduce environmental impact. By choosing to stay in locally-owned accommodations, eating at family-run restaurants, and using public transportation or bicycles, travelers can greatly decrease their carbon footprint. For instance, a study found that tourists who engage in slow travel produce up to 70% less greenhouse gas emissions compared to those on traditional package tours. Slow travel also allows for a deeper cultural understanding. Instead of rushing through tourist attractions, slow travelers take the time to participate in local traditions, learn about historical importance, and interact with locals. This not only enriches the travel experience but also provides economic benefits to local communities. In some rural areas, slow travel has helped preserve endangered crafts and save dying traditions. However, slow travel is not without challenges. It requires more planning and flexibility. As travelers need to research local customs, transportation options, and authentic experiences. Additionally, slow travel may not be feasible for everyone due to time or budget limit. For busy professionals or families with limited vacation days, spending weeks in a single destination may seem unrealistic. Despite these challenges, the slow travel movement continues to grow. Travelers are becoming more aware of their environmental and cultural impact, and many are seeking more authentic and sustainable ways to explore the world. As a result, travel companies are starting to offer more slow-travel options, such as longer home-stays and cultural experience programs. 4. How does slow travel cut environmental harm? A. By visiting fewer destinations. B. By avoiding all motor transport. C. By booking low-carbon package tours. D. By staying and eating at local places. 5. What can we infer about slow travel from paragraph 3? A. It encourages tourists to record local history. B. It allows tourists to live with residents. C. It boosts local economy and cultural heritage. D. It turns local handicrafts into souvenirs. 6. What does the underlined word “feasible” probably mean? A. Valuable. B. Essential. C. Worthwhile. D. Practicable. 7. What is the passage mainly about? A. The rising popularity of slow travel and its driving factors. B. The benefits and future development of slow travel. C. Travel companies’ adaptation to the trend of slow travel. D. The environmental and cultural impacts of slow travel. C Humans are now skilled at altering (改变) life’s basic building blocks. Genetically modified (修改的) food is widely available, and gene-editing tools help create new medicines. Increasingly, scientists are exploring how these tools might also help protect nature — for example, by developing corals that survive in warmer oceans or plants resistant to disease. Recently, a major conservation group discussed whether gene-edited plants and animals should be released into the wild. Central to the debate is a proposed temporary ban on releasing such organisms. Supporters urge caution, arguing that the risks and the outcome are unknown. On the other side, many scientists and conservationists believe all tools should be considered to slow species extinction, including genetic engineering of living cells. “We face a biodiversity crisis and a climate crisis,” said one policy expert. “We must use every tool to prevent ecosystems from collapsing further.” Although such a ban would not necessarily take effect, experts warn it could still affect research by making institutions and funders more hesitant. “Everyone cares about reputation,” noted one science nonprofit leader. A ban from a respected international body could weaken support for related studies. About one million species risk extinction, largely due to human activity. Some researchers see gene-editing as a way to intervene positively. The Australian biologist, Robert Smith, for instance, is editing frog genes to resist a deadly fungus (真菌). “The science isn’t the hard part,” he said. “The challenge will be persuading people that it’s a good idea.” Skeptics, however, argue the technology is still unproven in complex, open environments. It is unclear whether edited species would thrive or could cause unintended harm to existing ecosystems, or how any such harm could be controlled once releases begin. This uncertainty fuels the ongoing debate. 8. What is a potential application of gene-editing in nature conservation? A. Mass production of genetically modified food. B. Developing corals that endure higher temperatures. C. Creating new medicines for human diseases. D. Banning the release of any edited organisms. 9. Why could a proposed temporary ban on releasing gene-edited organisms affect research? A. It would make the technology illegal worldwide. B. It proves that the technology is too dangerous to use. C. It would immediately stop all ongoing experiments. D. It could discourage supporting institutions and funders. 10. What does the Australian biologist, Robert Smith mean by his statement? A. The technical aspects of gene-editing are already perfect. B. The main obstacle to using gene-editing is social acceptance. C. Scientists are not confident in their gene-editing skills. D. The debate about the ban is scientifically unnecessary. 11. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To argue strongly in favor of releasing gene-edited organisms into the wild. B. To explain the technical process of editing genes in frogs and corals. C. To present the debate over using gene-editing for ecosystem protection. D. To criticize conservation groups for blocking scientific progress. D As universities hold graduation ceremonies this summer many new degree holders face a challenging reality. While they hope to start their careers, a tight job market may extend their search. Recent data indicates a significant drop in opportunities for graduates, with one report showing a 33% decrease in listed jobs compared to last year — the lowest level since 2018. Two main factors explain this trend. First, general economic uncertainty has made employers more cautious about hiring. Second, and more specifically, opportunities in professional fields — such as law, finance, and consulting — are shrinking particularly fast. Artificial intelligence (AI) is beginning to change the nature of entry-level work. Tasks that once helped young graduates learn, like data gathering and basic analysis, are now often handled by AI. Some companies report using AI for most routine work, while others hire fewer graduates, expecting AI to improve efficiency. This situation creates serious difficulties for graduates. Many enter the job market during a period of slower economic growth and carry large student debts. A weak job market at the start of their careers could have long-term effects. Additionally, AI is changing the hiring process. Some companies now use software to screen job applications first, which might accidentally filter out good candidates. If companies focus only on cutting costs now and ignore the need to train young talent, it could create unfairness between generations. Government and business leaders are aware of the issue. Officials encourage people to learn AI skills and plan training programs. However, more focus is needed on helping young people enter today’s digital workplace. The decline in traditional starter jobs should be a clear warning. For the country’s future, the energy and skills of this generation are too valuable to waste. Companies may need to redesign early career paths, and governments should support this transition. Technological progress should not come at the cost of leaving young people behind. Their success is essential for shaping tomorrow’s world. 12. According to the first paragraph, what indicates a tough job market for new graduates? A. Listed job opportunities have seen a significant yearly decline. B. Many graduates choose to extend their search in job hunting. C. Employers are showing less interest in graduates from certain majors. D. The average time to find a job has shortened compared to last year. 13. Why are opportunities shrinking faster in fields like law and finance? A. Because global competition has knocked out most companies in these fields. B. Because graduates show no interest in these fields anymore. C. Because the government has adopted stricter regulations on these industries. D. Because artificial intelligence is taking over many entry-level tasks. 14. What is the main focus of paragraph three? A. The causes of slower economic growth. B. The challenges facing new graduates. C. The detailed workings of AI screening software. D. The solutions to student debt problems. 15. What does the author imply about the solution to the challenges? A. It depends solely on graduates’ own efforts to learn new skills. B. It will be automatically solved as the economy improves over time. C. It requires a joint effort from both businesses and the government. D. It has already been effectively solved through training programs. 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。 It’s no secret that reading good news feels a lot better than reading bad news. Like, would you rather bite into a sour lemon, or sip a cold, fresh glass of lemonade on a hot day? Most of us would pick the lemonade — and the same goes for news: positive stories lift our mood, while constant bad news can leave us feeling drained and anxious. ____16____ The world is full of challenges, from local community issues to global conflicts, and we need to stay informed to stay safe and make wise choices. While keeping up with traditional, more negative news is important for being alert, making time for good news is also a key part of staying well-informed. ____17____ It also brings meaningful benefits, like reduced stress and anxiety, a stronger sense of connection to our communities, and even inspiration to take action and create a better world. Plus, learning to spot and seek out good news helps us become smarter, more thoughtful news consumers. In fact, good news — often called “solutions journalism” — is becoming more popular, as publishers and news stations discover that sharing positive stories builds deeper trust with their audiences. Good Good Good is one of the leading voices in this movement. ____18____ A team of reporters and editors there work daily to deliver stories that make readers feel hopeful and equipped to do more good, often highlighting practical solutions to social and environmental problems. “If it bleeds, it leads.” has long been a saying used in the media to describe how news stories about violence, death and destruction draw readers’ attention. ____19____ The thing is, however, there’s also so much good stuff out there — the delightful, kind, and brave parts of humanity that often go unreported. “Beautiful stories are happening worldwide, in every country and every community. ____20____ When you do find them, the world can suddenly feel like a very different, more hopeful place. Good news is a vital part of how we learn about the world and work toward solving its problems,” Hervey, one of Good Good Good’s editors, said. A. Share good news with people around you. B. But bad news still has an important role to play. C. It helps us see the world in a more balanced way. D. It’s just that we don’t hear about them very often. E. Heartwarming stories can make you cry and feel happy. F. And so, negative news stories are everywhere on news media. G. This news group makes a point to share good news on purpose. 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In the tidy community of Maple Grove, lawns were always perfectly kept.

However, a small problem had been growing quietly for weeks: the recycling corner. It was supposed to have three neatly labeled bins for paper, plastic, and cans, but it had turned into a messy thing. Students, often in a hurry, would toss their bottles and papers without looking, often missing the bins entirely. The result was a pile of recyclables lying on the floor, which the cleaning staff sighed about daily. Leo and Maya, members of the Environmental Club, passed by the mess every day. It frustrated them. “It’s not that people don’t want to recycle,” Leo observed one afternoon, watching a student try and fail to throw a plastic bottle into the overflowing bin from two steps away. “It’s just that this setup isn’t working.” Maya nodded, her eyes fixed on the chaos. “The bins are identical, the signs are small and worn out, and there’s no interest in taking that extra second to aim correctly.” Their idea was simple. They believed the solution wasn’t scolding or more rules, but a clever design. “What if we make it impossible to ignore and fun to do?” Maya suggested, recalling a psychology concept about nudging (渐渐推动) positive behavior — the idea that small, thoughtful changes in the environment can effortlessly guide people toward better choices. After getting a quick approval from their science teacher and the cleaning staff, they spent an afternoon brainstorming. They decided to redesign the recycling station to be more engaging and user-friendly. They wanted to create something that would catch the eye, guide the hand, and maybe even bring a smile. Their plan required no special tools, no complex technology, and almost no money — just creativity, some art supplies, and a bit of teamwork. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With a box of donated paint, brushes, and some old cardboard, Leo and Maya started their project after school. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The change at the recycling corner became the talk of the school the next morning. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2025-2026学年第一学期高二年级期末检测 英语试题卷 注意事项： 1.你拿到的试卷满分为150分，考试时间为120分钟。 2.试卷包括“试题卷”和“答题卷”两部分，请务必在“答题卷”上答题，在“试题卷”上答题无效。 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。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.

The Students’ Union 第二节(满分25分) 【47题答案】 【答案】One possible version: With a box of donated paint, brushes, and some old cardboard, Leo and Maya started their project after school. They began by giving each bin a vibrant, distinct color and painting huge, clear symbols: a green tree for paper, a blue wave for plastic, and a silver circle for cans. Then, using the cardboard, they shaped wide openings like big, open mouths that stuck out from the wall, making it almost impossible to miss from any angle. As a final touch, Leo drew a series of playful footprints on the floor leading right up to the bins, while Maya added a small sign that read, “Feed me your recyclables!” The change at the recycling corner became the talk of the school the next morning. Students gathered around, pointing and smiling at the bright colors and these clever big, open mouths. They no longer tossed things from a distance. Instead, they followed the footprints, dropping bottles and paper right in with satisfying slides. The floor remained spotless. The cleaning staff member on duty gave Leo and Maya a thumbs-up, a wide smile replacing the usual sigh. It was clear that this simple, clever redesign had done more than just tidy a corner. It had sparked a quiet wave of awareness, showing how a little thoughtfulness could transform individual action into shared responsibility. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
