B Mark Levine, a 77-year-old American professor, has spent nearly twenty years living and working in China. On teaching days, he leaves his apartment in Beijing’s Haidian District before sunrise and travels over thirty kilometers to Minzu University’s Fengtai campus. Although he moves slowly, he maintains an active schedule, balancing his work as a teacher, writer, and musician. Levine often explains that these roles help him stay connected to the society he regards as home. His interest in China began while he was working for a U.S. labor organization dedicated to improving conditions for low-income workers. As a sociologist, he examined how different countries addressed social inequality and was particularly impressed by China’s progress. Later, a job offer from a college in Huai’an convinced him to take a decisive step and begin a new chapter. He still remembers his first evening in Huai’an, when the streets were crowded with bicycles, a scene that signaled how different his new environment would be. Over the years, he traveled to every provincial-level region in China and delivered lectures at more than eighty universities. In 2007, Levine moved to Beijing. His small apartment is filled with plants, guitars, books about China, and souvenirs from his travels — items that record the life he has built on his own. Although his family lives far away, he insists that he does not feel lonely, largely because of the friendships he has formed with colleagues, neighbors, and students. A key moment in his life came when he met Fu Han, a piano teacher who later became his musical partner. Hoping to present a more complete picture of China to the world, they began writing songs together. A spring festival he spent with her family in rural Hubei left him particularly moved and inspired one of his songs about the warmth he experienced there. In 2016, Levine received Chinese permanent residence, which strengthened his sense of belonging. Today, well known in his neighborhood, he is often greeted by children who call him “Grandpa Santa.” 4. Why did Levine move to China at first? A. To take up a post. B. To further his study. C. To find a well-paid job. D. To explore a college. 5. How does Levine mainly keep loneliness away while living far from his family? A. By writing songs about home. B. By traveling to various places. C. By occupying himself in work. D. By building social connections. 6. What does Levine’s cooperation with Fu Han imply? A. It encouraged him to pursue music full time. B. It pushed him to learn traditional instruments. C. It helped him become an established performer. D. It allowed him to share local stories effectively. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. A sociologist’s fight for workers. B. A foreigner’s life rooted in China. C. A foreign teacher’s route to fame. D. A professor’s music achievements. C Math anxiety has become a common psychological condition among students around the world. Students in countries with higher levels of math anxiety tend to achieve lower math grades, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on Feb 15. Math anxiety — a negative emotional reaction to the core subject — causes fear, physical suffering and behavior problems among young pupils, according to a University of Cambridge study. In ordinary life, many people experience some degree of discomfort when confronted with a math problem, ranging from mild tension to strong fear. Some people also experience physical symptoms such as sweaty palms or a racing heart. They may then try to avoid numbers-related situations, meaning they are held back from pursuing careers related to the subject, such as science, technology or engineering, according to The Guardian. Relief comes from the fact that those with math anxiety aren’t destined to be bad at math. “If a child has math anxiety, don’t assume that they’ re not good at math. They may have had a really bad experience with math.” Daniel Ansuri, the senior author of the study told The London Free Press. “Students with math anxiety are not cognitively (认知地) disadvantaged.” Also, there are ways to manage your math-related stress. If you’re stressed before a math exam, spend a few minutes exploring those feelings before the exam begins. “It’s about making sure you’re interpreting your feelings correctly,” Sian Beilock, a cognitive scientist told the BBC. “A fast heartbeat and sweaty palms don’t necessarily mean you will fail.” A little math anxiety could be taken as a positive challenge to overcome. Just like many people get stage fright before delivering a speech, this nervous energy can help to motivate, according to Ian Lyons, a psychologist at Georgetown University. Math doesn’t come easy, no matter how clever you are. Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian artist, was a huge fan of mathematics. But his notebooks show that Da Vinci couldn’t do fractions (分数). He felt stressed to grasp, for instance, that dividing a number by one-quarter is the same as multiplying by four, resulting in a higher number than the original. 8. What do we know about math anxiety? A. It is common merely among students. B. It leads to people struggling in their career. C. It can cause physical and emotional discomfort. D. People with math anxiety are often bad at maths. 9. Which of the following statements will Daniel Ansari agree with according to his study? A. Math anxiety may contribute to better grades. B. Bad experience with math can cause cognitive disadvantages. C. Math anxiety is not related to the ability to solve math problems. D. Students with math anxiety may indeed experience lower math scores. 10. How should you deal with the stress related to math according to the article? A. Learn to make sense of your feelings. B. Avoid thinking about failures in math. C. Take all nervous energy as a challenge. D. Pay little attention to your math anxiety. 11. Why is Leonardo da Vinci’s story mentioned? A. To suggest a way to solve math anxiety. B. To show that math anxiety is very common. C. To explain why math is a difficult subject to learn. D. To show it’s not enjoyable for da Vinci to learn math. D The idea of space-based solar power (SBSP) — using satellites to collect energy from the sun and “beam” it to collection points on Earth — has been around since at least the late 1960s. Despite its huge potential, the concept has not gained sufficient attention due to cost and technological hurdles. We already harvest energy from the sun. It’s collected directly through what we generally call solar power. This includes different technologies such as photovoltaics (PV, 光伏发电) and solar-thermal energy. The sun’s energy is also gathered indirectly: wind energy is an example of this, because breezes are generated by uneven heating of the atmosphere by the sun. But these green forms of power generation have limitations. They take up lots of space on land and are limited by the availability of light and wind. For example, solar farms don’t collect energy at night and gather less of it in winter and on cloudy days. PV in orbit won’t be limited by the onset of night. A satellite in geostationary orbit (GEO) — a circular orbit around 36,000 km above the Earth — is exposed to the Sun for more than 99% of the time during a whole year. This allows it to produce green energy 24/7. Transferring energy collected in space to the ground requires wireless power transmission. Using microwaves for this minimizes the energy lost in the atmosphere, even through cloudy skies. The microwave beam sent by the satellite will be focused towards the ground station, where antennas (天线) change the electromagnetic waves (电磁波) back into electricity. The ground station will need to have a diameter (直径) of 5 km, or more at high latitudes. However, this is still smaller than the areas of land needed to produce the same amount of power using solar or wind. An SBSP mission will be challenging — and risks still need to be fully assessed. While the electricity produced is fully green, the impact of the pollution from hundreds of heavy-lift launches is difficult to predict. Additionally, controlling such a large structure in space will require substantial amounts of fuel, which involves engineers working with sometimes very poisonous chemicals. The challenge of building platforms like this in space may seem frightening, but space-based solar power is technologically practicable. To be economically workable, it requires large-scale engineering, and therefore long-term and decisive commitment from governments and space agencies. But with all that in place, SBSP could make a fundamental contribution to delivering net zero by 2050 with sustainable, clean energy from space. 12. What is a common limitation of traditional solar and wind energy? A. They rely on the use of poisonous chemicals. B. They are difficult to transfer over long distances. C. They are affected by the availability of light and wind. D. They require large-scale engineering for construction. 13. Why does the author mention the diameter of the ground station in paragraph 4? A. To emphasize the high cost of building space-based solar power facilities. B. To prove the complexity of changing electromagnetic waves into electricity. C. To illustrate the immaturity of the technology for wireless power transmission. D. To show higher efficiency of space-based solar power than using solar or wind. 14. Which of the following is ONE risk of space-based solar power (SBSP)? A. The large structure in space. B. Challenging mission of SBSP. C. Excessive land use for ground stations. D. Unpredictable pollution from launches. 15. According to the passage, the future development of SBSP mainly depends on ________. A. the governments’ and space agencies’ long-term and firm support B. the reduction of the poisonous chemicals used in space engineering C. the steady improvement of wireless power transmission technology D. the assessment of the impact of heavy-lift launches on the environment 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，共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。 Learning how to apologize is similar to learning any new behavior. It may feel awkward and may not be polished at first. ____16____ There are several tips that will help you as you learn how to apologize. First of all, wait until the right time and you are in the right place. Although public apology is often appropriate, discretion (谨慎) should be used. ____17____ Remember, you will be raising a topic that may recall a bad experience or bad feelings.

Now, I was an excellent swimmer. Yet, a few months ago, things were different. And I had to thank her for helping me. I was always afraid of water. This fear could not be explained, but I knew that the moment I stepped near any body of water, my legs would turn to jelly. I would imagine myself drowning in the water. That was why I had never gone into a swimming pool until swimming became a school requirement. My school wanted all pupils to pass a swimming test, and if they could not, then they would have to attend weekly swimming lessons in school, which sent fright down my spine (脊柱). Thus, my parents signed me up for swimming lessons at the pool near my house. I had to attend those weekly lessons, and each one was great torture (折磨) for me. I was naturally awkward, and my fear of water did not help at all. Every lesson, I would be spending my time thrashing (拍打) about in the water while my classmates would be swimming countless laps effortlessly. How was I going to pass the test at this rate?I was discouraged. In my swimming class, there was an exceptionally athletic girl. Her name was Kathy. She was the best swimmer in our class and always looked at me with disdain (鄙视). Once, after a particularly long and hard swimming lesson, I spotted Kathy swimming gracefully in the pool. Mustering my courage, I asked meekly (温顺地),“Kathy, can you teach me swimming?” She stared at me coldly, and I thought she was going to refuse my request. To my surprise, she nodded after a few moments of silence. 1.续写词数为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: From then on, Kathy stayed back for about an hour after every swimming lesson for me. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Four months flew past and it was time for me to take my test. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 吕梁一中2025年秋高二年级第十次素养展示 英语试卷 考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分 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，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.

I’d like to express my deepest gratitude to you. You assisted me in organizing my thoughts and ideas, practiced with me patiently and corrected my grammar mistakes carefully. It was your patient instruction that made my speech so appealing. Not only did this speech impress students with the knowledge of artificial intelligence but it also aroused their interest in science and technology. In addition, the winter vacation is approaching. I sincerely invite you to come to China. Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】One possible version: Paragraph1: From then on, Kathy stayed back for about an hour after every swimming lesson for me. Her teaching is simple yet extremely effective. Without too many cliché instructions, she assisted me to jump into water directly and then demonstrated the proper swimming stroke beautifully. But once I was in the water, the feeling of fear drowned me again. In great disappointment even frustration, I leaned against the pool wall and dared not to swim any further. Kathy swam around me, patted on my back and encouraged me to try again. As time went by, I made great progress. Paragraph 2: Four months flew past and it was time for me to take my test. Leaping into the water, I was seized by the familiar fear again. On the verge of giving up, Kathy’s trust breathed courage and confidence in me. I managed to collect all my strength and swam to the finishing line. Eventually I passed the swimming test! Never had I been so overjoyed. Turning around, Kathy reached for me and hugged me tightly. The light of the sun shone on us, witnessing the start of a new friendship. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
