B Denica Riadini-Flesch, 34, is leading a quiet revolution in the fashion world. She founded SukkhaCitta, a slow-fashion brand that partners with hundreds of farmers and artisans (工匠) on Java and neighboring islands in Indonesia. Every piece of fabric in the brand’s collection is made completely from plants. The entire process, from seed to clothes, takes about 60 to 180 days. The slow-fashion movement has arisen in opposition to the values of fast fashion. The fast-fashion approach relies on factories and often harms both workers and the environment. Riadini-Flesch believes that the “farm to closet” model can help consumers see how their choices directly affect people and the Earth. Her journey started with a desire to use her own knowledge to uplift others and protect the planet. In Indonesia, about 24 million people, many of whom live in rural villages, still struggle to make a living wage. Growing up in Jakarta, Riadini-Flesch experienced the country’s deep-rooted inequality and studied development economics in college. When she began traveling the countryside in 2013, she met three batik artisans in a village near Tuban, in EastJava. They told her that the ancient craft they had learned from their mothers was at risk.With limited resources, the artisans had switched to cheaper chemical dyes that burned their lungs.Even then, they could not compete with factories. In the months that followed, Riadini-Flesch saw how the modern fashion supply chain affected farmers as well. They had replaced cotton with monoculture crops like corn, harming the soil, plants, and wildlife. Both of these age-old practices were deeply rooted in village life; they just needed to be restored. Slow fashion, she realized, could be a powerful tool for change. Although she only had $2000, Riadini-Flesch put that money into paying the batik artisans a living wage. This allowed her to create her first sample: a bandanna she called butterfly. By 2019, three years after its founding, the company had drawn enough interest from residents near Tuban to open its first craft school. There, artisans can teach batik to younger generations and farmers can learn about regenerative ways to grow cotton. Villagers are now using a traditional technique that lets multiple plants grow together and nourish each other. The technique allows rural Indonesians to grow cotton for SukkhaCitta while providing more food for their families. Over the past four years, SukkhaCitta has opened four more craft schools, launched a platform for sourcing its regenerative materials, and partnered with 11 villages. So far, the brand has helped communities restore roughly 118 acres of formerly commercial farmland, which has improved the lives of 1,500 people. One thing SukkhaCitta rejects is following traditional seasonal fashion calendars and overworking either the artisans or the land. “You cannot have infinite growth on a finite planet,” Riadini-Flesch says. This is wisdom shared by the artisans, who also taught her another inspiring philosophy: “Urip Iku Urup”. We live to bring light. 4. Compared with fast-fashion brands, SukkhaCitta . A. reduces costs by simplifying production process B. involves consumers directly in the clothes making C. gives priority to handcraft and sustainable farming D. uses clothing to raise awareness about social issues 5. Why did Riadini-Flesch establish craft schools in rural Indonesia? A. To train workers to replace imported fabrics with local ones. B. To prepare rural youth for careers in the global fashion industry. C. To teach the artisans how to produce faster and compete with factories. D. To ensure the survival of traditional skills and eco-friendly agriculture. 6. What guiding principle does Riadini-Flesch emphasize in managing SukkhaCitta? A. Preserving traditional methods and rejecting adaptations. B. Following seasonal fashion cycles to meet market demand. C. Respecting ecological limits and valuing artisans’ well-being. D. Expanding production to compete with global fast-fashion brands. 7. Which of the following best describes Riadini-Flesch? A. An ambitious designer. B. An old-fashioned leader. C. A profit-driven woman. D. A visionary change-maker. C On my fourth birthday, my father found me at the bottom of the pool, sharing air supply with a family friend: I was having my first scuba (水肺潜水) experience. I’ve been diving ever since and, from age seven, have gone on to explore some of the most remote parts of the globe. My grandfather, Jacques Cousteau, was a pioneer of ocean exploration. He contributed to the invention of many of the tools he needed — scuba, submersibles (潜水器), underwater cameras and more — because he saw the need for innovation to learn and explore. He believed that we would conserve only what we love — and love only what we understand. That belief had driven him to go beyond the known, and to push the boundaries of comfort and routine. I dive into the unknown because the ocean is unique, magical, and mysterious. It is Earth’s life-support system, without which we cannot exist. Many of our body’s vital functions rely on the fact that we live in a liquid world. Foods we eat and our mild weather also depend on the sea. In all of modern ocean exploration, we’ve barely scratched the surface — we’ve explored far less than 10%. This should not come as a surprise, considering that the ocean totals 99% of our planet’s living space. Add to this the complexities of ocean below the surface, and it becomes clear why our knowledge is still so limited. One could imagine that understanding the system that makes our planet tick and managing its health would be a top priority. However, in 2022, NASA received more than 500 times as much funding as NOAA did for ocean exploration and research. Space exploration is vital, but exploring the seas of our planet is equally critical. Our planet faces urgent challenges, and the seas are stressed, perhaps almost to a breaking point. We must stay in the water and pursue knowledge and answers as quickly and as wisely as we can. How wonderful it is when all the efforts pay off with a discovery that solves a problem facing humanity or nature! My passion for and dedication to ocean exploration and conservation come from two generations who have passed down this curiosity and love of the blue planet. And I will do everything I can to make sure that my grandchildren can do the same. 8. Why does the author mention his grandfather in Para.2? A. To criticize modern explorers for lacking creativity. B. To indicate the origin of his own passion for the ocean. C. To show how previous inventions enabled the exploration. D. To compare past and present methods of underwater research. 9. What does ocean exploration mean to the author? A. It is mainly a family tradition and personal hobby. B. It is exciting but less urgent than other global issues. C. It should be left to scientists and not involve the public. D. It is essential for understanding and protecting our planet. 10. The underlined phrase “scratch the surface” in Para.4 is closest in meaning to . A. take it for granted B. throw in the towel C. make little progress D. build castles in the air 11. The author wrote this passage to . A. urge immediate action to research and protect the ocean B. analyze how ocean ecosystems help sustain human life C. inspire future explorers with their thrilling adventures D. describe the author’s personal diving experiences D What did you have for breakfast today? And how did you celebrate your last birthday? When recalling these things, you are using episodic memory (情境记忆) — the ability to recall personal experiences tied to specific times and places. But how does the brain avoid mixing up these memories? Scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles believe it’s thanks to a “memory reset button” in the brainstem. This small region, called the locus coeruleus (蓝斑核), helps the brain organize and separate memories. In the study, 36 volunteers took part in a memory task. Lying in an MRI scanner, they were shown a series of pictures of different objects. Meanwhile, simple tones were played repeatedly,first in one ear and then a different tone in the other ear. The change in tone was meant to transform the“context” and create what is known as an event boundary. According to previous research from Kansas State University, event boundaries help the brain organize episodic memory by changing our perception and attention. Have you ever walked into a room and suddenly forgotten what you intended to do? That’s exactly the effect of an“event boundary” — entering or exiting a room — at work. After the experiment, the scientists tested the volunteers’ memory for the order of the pictures. The results showed that when a series of pictures crossed an event boundary, it was harder to remember their sequence. This suggests that the change in sound made the brain store memories separately. Additionally, MRI scans showed that the locus coeruleus became highly active when event boundaries appeared, but not so much otherwise. Earlier research found that another brain region, the hippocampus (海马体), helps form episodic memory by linking events that are close in time and separating those farther apart. But what signal tells the hippocampus when to switch modes? MRI scans suggest that “the locus coeruleus may send a key ‘start’ signal to the hippocampus, as if saying, ‘Hey, we’re entering a new event now’,” explained Lila Davachi, one of the researchers. This new discovery could lead to better treatments for memory-related disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease in which the locus coeruleus tends to be overactive. By using medication, slow breathing, or even stress balls to suppress locus coeruleus activity, it may be possible to help control the condition. 12. What was the purpose of playing different tones in the experiment? A. To create real-life situations. B. To mark a change to a new context. C. To test volunteers’ hearing ability. D. To increase the difficulty of the task. 13. What did the MRI scans reveal about the locus coeruleus during the experiment? A. It showed higher activity at event boundaries. B. It controlled volunteers’ memory recall order. C. It sent signals to the hippocampus regularly. D. It helped link pictures to specific sounds. 14. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The future research directions for memory. B. The limitations of the small-scale experiment. C. The difficulty of treating memory-related disease. D. The potential applications of the research findings. 15. Which can be the best title for the passage? A. Changing the Tone B. Organizing Memory C. Reshaping Our Brains D.

We had spent weeks preparing the backyard, and I had even set up a small play area for the kids. My wife had prepared a delicious spread of food, and everything was ready for a fun afternoon. When my cousin arrived with her kid Max, I was happy to see them. However, she also brought along Max’s new toy — an extremely loud toy drum. It was Max’s favorite, and he was eager to play it at every opportunity. Since Max is on the autistic spectrum (自闭症谱系障碍)，he often feels nervous at social events and likes to keep his favorite things close. I knew this of course, but the drum was just too loud. I was worried that it would mess up the party and give everyone a headache. As more guests arrived, I asked my cousin if Max could play with something quieter. She seemed a bit surprised but agreed, placing the drum in a corner. Max was unhappy, and my cousin spent most of the afternoon trying to calm him down. I noticed they both were growing increasingly uncomfortable. But I was busy being a host to everyone. Before the party ended, my cousin left with Max. At the time, I didn't think it was a big deal. A few days later, I texted her and said they should come again. Her reply wasn't a happy one: “Are you joking? Forget it.” Clearly, she was angry about what had happened. But I thought she would eventually get over it. Then, a whole month went by. My wife suggested I get in touch with my cousin. I refused, thinking she should reach out first. However, I couldn’t stop feeling guilty. I tried to put myself in my cousin’s shoes. I knew things had been hard with Max, and she had to take care of him alone since her husband left them. 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。 I realized it was me who should say sorry. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the gift I chose for Max, I arrived at my cousin’s door. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年度高二年级第一学期期末考试 英 语 试 题 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指定位置，在其他位置作答一律无效。 3.本卷满分为150分，考试时间为120分钟。考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 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 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 Why did the man come here?

She founded SukkhaCitta, a slow-fashion brand that partners with hundreds of farmers and artisans (工匠) on Java and neighboring islands in Indonesia. Every piece of fabric in the brand’s collection is made completely from plants. The entire process, from seed to clothes, takes about 60 to 180 days. The slow-fashion movement has arisen in opposition to the values of fast fashion. The fast-fashion approach relies on factories and often harms both workers and the environment. Riadini-Flesch believes that the “farm to closet” model can help consumers see how their choices directly affect people and the Earth. Her journey started with a desire to use her own knowledge to uplift others and protect the planet. In Indonesia, about 24 million people, many of whom live in rural villages, still struggle to make a living wage. Growing up in Jakarta, Riadini-Flesch experienced the country’s deep-rooted inequality and studied development economics in college. When she began traveling the countryside in 2013, she met three batik artisans in a village near Tuban, in EastJava. They told her that the ancient craft they had learned from their mothers was at risk.With limited resources, the artisans had switched to cheaper chemical dyes that burned their lungs.Even then, they could not compete with factories. In the months that followed, Riadini-Flesch saw how the modern fashion supply chain affected farmers as well. They had replaced cotton with monoculture crops like corn, harming the soil, plants, and wildlife. Both of these age-old practices were deeply rooted in village life; they just needed to be restored. Slow fashion, she realized, could be a powerful tool for change. Although she only had $2,000, Riadini-Flesch put that money into paying the batik artisans a living wage. This allowed her to create her first sample: a bandanna she called butterfly. By 2019, three years after its founding, the company had drawn enough interest from residents near Tuban to open its first craft school. There, artisans can teach batik to younger generations and farmers can learn about regenerative ways to grow cotton. Villagers are now using a traditional technique that lets multiple plants grow together and nourish each other. The technique allows rural Indonesians to grow cotton for SukkhaCitta while providing more food for their families. Over the past four years, SukkhaCitta has opened four more craft schools, launched a platform for sourcing its regenerative materials, and partnered with 11 villages. So far, the brand has helped communities restore roughly 118 acres of formerly commercial farmland, which has improved the lives of 1,500 people. One thing SukkhaCitta rejects is following traditional seasonal fashion calendars and overworking either the artisans or the land. “You cannot have infinite growth on a finite planet,” Riadini-Flesch says. This is wisdom shared by the artisans, who also taught her another inspiring philosophy: “Urip Iku Urup”. We live to bring light. 4. Compared with fast-fashion brands, SukkhaCitta . A. reduces costs by simplifying production process B. involves consumers directly in the clothes making C. gives priority to handcraft and sustainable farming D. uses clothing to raise awareness about social issues 5. Why did Riadini-Flesch establish craft schools in rural Indonesia? A. To train workers to replace imported fabrics with local ones. B. To prepare rural youth for careers in the global fashion industry. C. To teach the artisans how to produce faster and compete with factories. D. To ensure the survival of traditional skills and eco-friendly agriculture. 6. What guiding principle does Riadini-Flesch emphasize in managing SukkhaCitta? A. Preserving traditional methods and rejecting adaptations. B. Following seasonal fashion cycles to meet market demand. C. Respecting ecological limits and valuing artisans’ well-being. D. Expanding production to compete with global fast-fashion brands. 7. Which of the following best describes Riadini-Flesch? A. An ambitious designer. B. An old-fashioned leader. C. A profit-driven woman. D. A visionary change-maker. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7.

I’ve been diving ever since and, from age seven, have gone on to explore some of the most remote parts of the globe. My grandfather, Jacques Cousteau, was a pioneer of ocean exploration. He contributed to the invention of many of the tools he needed — scuba, submersibles (潜水器), underwater cameras and more — because he saw the need for innovation to learn and explore. He believed that we would conserve only what we love — and love only what we understand. That belief had driven him to go beyond the known, and to push the boundaries of comfort and routine. I dive into the unknown because the ocean is unique, magical, and mysterious. It is Earth’s life-support system, without which we cannot exist. Many of our body’s vital functions rely on the fact that we live in a liquid world. Foods we eat and our mild weather also depend on the sea. In all of modern ocean exploration, we’ve barely scratched the surface — we’ve explored far less than 10%. This should not come as a surprise, considering that the ocean totals 99% of our planet’s living space. Add to this the complexities of ocean below the surface, and it becomes clear why our knowledge is still so limited. One could imagine that understanding the system that makes our planet tick and managing its health would be a top priority. However, in 2022, NASA received more than 500 times as much funding as NOAA did for ocean exploration and research. Space exploration is vital, but exploring the seas of our planet is equally critical. Our planet faces urgent challenges, and the seas are stressed, perhaps almost to a breaking point. We must stay in the water and pursue knowledge and answers as quickly and as wisely as we can. How wonderful it is when all the efforts pay off with a discovery that solves a problem facing humanity or nature! My passion for and dedication to ocean exploration and conservation come from two generations who have passed down this curiosity and love of the blue planet. And I will do everything I can to make sure that my grandchildren can do the same. 8. Why does the author mention his grandfather in Para.2? A. To criticize modern explorers for lacking creativity. B. To indicate the origin of his own passion for the ocean. C. To show how previous inventions enabled the exploration. D. To compare past and present methods of underwater research. 9. What does ocean exploration mean to the author? A. It is mainly a family tradition and personal hobby. B. It is exciting but less urgent than other global issues. C. It should be left to scientists and not involve the public. D. It is essential for understanding and protecting our planet. 10. The underlined phrase “scratch the surface” in Para.4 is closest in meaning to . A. take it for granted B. throw in the towel C. make little progress D. build castles in the air 11. The author wrote this passage to . A. urge immediate action to research and protect the ocean B. analyze how ocean ecosystems help sustain human life C. inspire future explorers with their thrilling adventures D. describe the author’s personal diving experiences 【答案】8.

When recalling these things, you are using episodic memory (情境记忆) — the ability to recall personal experiences tied to specific times and places. But how does the brain avoid mixing up these memories? Scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles believe it’s thanks to a “memory reset button” in the brainstem. This small region, called the locus coeruleus (蓝斑核), helps the brain organize and separate memories. In the study, 36 volunteers took part in a memory task. Lying in an MRI scanner, they were shown a series of pictures of different objects. Meanwhile, simple tones were played repeatedly,first in one ear and then a different tone in the other ear. The change in tone was meant to transform the“context” and create what is known as an event boundary. According to previous research from Kansas State University, event boundaries help the brain organize episodic memory by changing our perception and attention. Have you ever walked into a room and suddenly forgotten what you intended to do? That’s exactly the effect of an“event boundary” — entering or exiting a room — at work. After the experiment, the scientists tested the volunteers’ memory for the order of the pictures. The results showed that when a series of pictures crossed an event boundary, it was harder to remember their sequence. This suggests that the change in sound made the brain store memories separately. Additionally, MRI scans showed that the locus coeruleus became highly active when event boundaries appeared, but not so much otherwise. Earlier research found that another brain region, the hippocampus (海马体), helps form episodic memory by linking events that are close in time and separating those farther apart. But what signal tells the hippocampus when to switch modes? MRI scans suggest that “the locus coeruleus may send a key ‘start’ signal to the hippocampus, as if saying, ‘Hey, we’re entering a new event now’,” explained Lila Davachi, one of the researchers. This new discovery could lead to better treatments for memory-related disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease in which the locus coeruleus tends to be overactive. By using medication, slow breathing, or even stress balls to suppress locus coeruleus activity, it may be possible to help control the condition. 12. What was the purpose of playing different tones in the experiment? A. To create real-life situations. B. To mark a change to a new context. C. To test volunteers’ hearing ability. D. To increase the difficulty of the task. 13. What did the MRI scans reveal about the locus coeruleus during the experiment? A. It showed higher activity at event boundaries. B. It controlled volunteers’ memory recall order. C. It sent signals to the hippocampus regularly. D. It helped link pictures to specific sounds. 14. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The future research directions for memory. B. The limitations of the small-scale experiment. C. The difficulty of treating memory-related disease. D. The potential applications of the research findings. 15. Which can be the best title for the passage? A. Changing the Tone B. Organizing Memory C. Reshaping Our Brains D. Challenging Alzheimer’s Disease 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15.

We had spent weeks preparing the backyard, and I had even set up a small play area for the kids. My wife had prepared a delicious spread of food, and everything was ready for a fun afternoon. When my cousin arrived with her kid Max, I was happy to see them. However, she also brought along Max’s new toy — an extremely loud toy drum. It was Max’s favorite, and he was eager to play it at every opportunity. Since Max is on the autistic spectrum (自闭症谱系障碍)，he often feels nervous at social events and likes to keep his favorite things close. I knew this of course, but the drum was just too loud. I was worried that it would mess up the party and give everyone a headache. As more guests arrived, I asked my cousin if Max could play with something quieter. She seemed a bit surprised but agreed, placing the drum in a corner. Max was unhappy, and my cousin spent most of the afternoon trying to calm him down. I noticed they both were growing increasingly uncomfortable. But I was busy being a host to everyone. Before the party ended, my cousin left with Max. At the time, I didn't think it was a big deal. A few days later, I texted her and said they should come again. Her reply wasn't a happy one: “Are you joking? Forget it.” Clearly, she was angry about what had happened. But I thought she would eventually get over it. Then, a whole month went by. My wife suggested I get in touch with my cousin. I refused, thinking she should reach out first. However, I couldn’t stop feeling guilty. I tried to put myself in my cousin’s shoes. I knew things had been hard with Max, and she had to take care of him alone since her husband left them. 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。 I realized it was me who should say sorry. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the gift I chose for Max, I arrived at my cousin’s door. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I realized it was me who should say sorry. I had only thought about the comfort of other guests and the success of the party, but completely ignored Max’s feelings and my cousin’s difficulties. Max needed the drum to calm himself down because of his autism, and my cousin was raising him alone, which was already very hard. My selfish request made them uncomfortable and even hurt their feelings. Filled with deep regret, I decided to apologize sincerely. I bought a gentle, quiet toy for Max, hoping it could bring him comfort. With the gift I chose for Max, I arrived at my cousin’s door. I knocked nervously and waited, my heart beating fast. When she opened the door, I said sorry immediately, telling her I truly understood my mistake. I handed the gift to Max, who looked at it with a smile. My cousin’s anger gradually disappeared. She forgave me and we talked openly. This experience taught me that understanding and kindness are always more important than perfect moments. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和妻子在家举办派对，表妹带自闭症孩子马克斯前来，马克斯的玩具鼓太吵，作者让他们换成安静的玩具，导致表妹不满。一个月后作者深感愧疚，买了礼物上门道歉，表妹原谅了作者，作者也明白了理解与善意比完美派对更重要。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我意识到应该是我应该道歉。”可知，第一段可描写一个月后作者深感愧疚，买了礼物上门道歉。 ②由第二段首句内容“我拿着为马克斯挑选的礼物来到了表妹的家门口。”可知，第二段可描写表妹原谅了作者，作者也明白了理解与善意比完美派对更重要。 2.续写线索：作者意识到应该道歉——忽略了马克斯的感受——买了礼物上门道歉——表妹原谅了作者——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①忽视：ignore/ neglect ②决定做某事：decide to do/be determined to do ③意识到：understand /be aware of 情绪类 ①不安的：uncomfortable / uneasy ②真诚地：sincerely / honestly 【点睛】 [高分句型1] Max needed the drum to calm himself down because of his autism, and my cousin was raising him alone, which was already very hard.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] I bought a gentle, quiet toy for Max, hoping it could bring him comfort.（运用了非谓语动词中的现在分词hoping作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
