B When Ghanaian photojournalist Paul Ninson initially pursued a career in photography, he found the challenge discouraging. Photography isn’t exactly valued as a career in Ghana, Ninson says, “If you tell your parents you’re going to be a photographer, it was like, ‘Yuck, what? Go be a lawyer.’” But Ninson felt photography was his calling. Deeply influenced by the family history of storytelling passed down through his grandparents and later attracted by a friend’s images, he developed a love for photography. He sold his mobile phone, bought a camera and began studying photography. Though Ninson began his journey with commercial photography, he soon shifted his focus to stories closer to his heart— those of African history and culture that he would capture as a photojournalist. Ninson still sought formal education in photojournalism. Unable to find a suitable program in Africa, he left Ghana in 2019 to study in New York City. There, he read the center’s hundreds of photobooks. In Ghana, he only had access to five or six of such books. As he ventured deeper into the city, he discovered more visual histories of Africa than he had experienced at home, such as documentation of Ghana’s first president at the New York Public Library. The libraries Ninson visited were unwilling to give him their archives (档案) to return to Africa, which led to his idea of creating a leading photobook library in Africa that held such stories. This idea has been realized with the creation of Dikan Center in Accra, Ghana’s capital. In Ghanaian artist Daniella Afful’s eyes, Dikan Center is the beginning of the growth of Ghana’s creative community, “Dikan Center has magnified (放大) art and photography. Dikan Center has kind of given us the hope that we may soon have a music library and we could have a film library in Ghana—anything just to preserve our history and make history.” 4. What can we infer about photography as a career in Ghana from Paragraph 1? A. It is highly respected and well-paid. B. It is not considered a promising profession. C. It is a popular choice among young people. D. It is supported and encouraged by parents. 5. Why did Paul Ninson go to New York City in 2019? A. To take commercial photos for clients. B. To receive formal education in photojournalism. C. To collect archives of Ghana’s first president. D. To establish a photo book library for African stories. 6. What does Daniella Afful think of the Dikan Center? A. It has set a model for future creative projects in Ghana. B. It has already solved all the problems of Ghana’s art community. C. It has made photography the most popular art form in Ghana. D. It has limited its influence to the field of photography only. 7. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The development of commercial photography in Ghana. B. The challenges of studying photojournalism in New York. C. Paul Ninson’s journey and his creation of the Dikan Center. D. The history of African visual art preserved in New York libraries. C In an age where smartphones govern daily routines, researchers are uncovering subtle cognitive trade-offs (权衡) associated with over-reliance on digital tools. A 2023 Cambridge University study tracking 1,200 participants revealed that habitual users of navigation apps showed 23% weaker spatial memory compared to traditional map readers. Functional MRI(磁共振成像)scans demonstrated reduced hippocampal (海马体的) activity in GPS-dependent individuals when recalling routes, while traditional navigators exhibited stronger neural connections in memory-related regions. The cognitive influence extends beyond navigation. Language learners using apps with automated translation features scored 15% lower in spontaneous sentence construction tests than textbook-based peers, according to a Tokyo University experiment. Dr. Eleanor Richards, a cognitive scientist at Oxford, explains: “Our brains adapt to technological shortcuts by weakening underused neural pathways — like muscles atrophy without exercise.” This awareness has sparked counter-movements in both education and corporate sectors. Germany’s TechSphere GmbH, a software development company, implemented “Analog Fridays” in 2022, requiring employees to use paper notebooks and physical whiteboards every Friday. Post-implementation surveys showed a 19% increase in meeting participation and 27% reduction in self-reported mental fatigue. “We’re not anti-technology,” clarifies CEO Markus Weber, “but strategic separation helps reclaim cognitive bandwidth (认知带宽).” Similar policies have been adopted by 12% of Silicon Valley startups as per 2023 industry reports. Educational reforms mirror this shift. The University of Amsterdam now mandates (授权) handwritten lecture notes for first-year students, resulting in 14% higher exam scores compared to laptop users. Stationery manufacturer Moleskine reported 40% growth in planner sales since 2021, with 35% purchased by tech professionals seeking screen-free productivity methods. Neuroscientists propose balanced solutions. Dr. Richards advocates “cognitive zoning (认知分区)”: using digital tools for data storage while reserving analog methods for critical thinking tasks. As AI integration accelerates, the challenge lies not in rejecting technology, but in designing hybrid systems that preserve essential human cognitive capacities. 8. According to the Cambridge University study, what was the key difference between GPS-dependent individuals and traditional map readers? A. GPS users had more active hippocampal activity when recalling routes. B. GPS users had stronger neural connections in memory-related regions. C. Traditional map readers showed better spatial memory than GPS users. D. Traditional map readers relied more on technological shortcuts for navigation. 9. What does the underlined word “atrophy” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. To grow stronger with regular exercise. B. To become more flexible over time. C. To adapt quickly to new environments. D. To waste away or decline for lack of use. 10. What can be inferred from the Paragraph 3 about “strategic separation”? A. It is a complete rejection of all digital technology in the workplace. B. It reduces mental fatigue and improves focus by limiting screen time. C. It has been widely adopted by over half of Silicon Valley startups. D. It has led to a significant decrease in meeting participation rates. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Cognitive Trade-offs: Balancing Digital Tools and Human Capacities B. The Decline of Spatial Memory in the Age of Smartphones C. Analog Fridays: A New Trend in Corporate Productivity D. Educational Reforms for Screen-Free Learning D Acid rain, defined as rain, snow, fog or other forms of water that contain high levels of certain strong acids, was first identified by Scottish chemist Robert August Smith in 1852. This type of precipitation (降水) typically has a pH between 4.2 and 4.4, while normal rain is slightly acidic with a pH of 5.6. Though natural sources like rotting plants and erupting volcanoes release some acid-forming chemicals, human activities are the main driver of acid rain. Specifically, coal-burning power plants, factories, and cars burn fossil fuels, which send out harmful gases like sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). These gases then react with water, oxygen, and other substances in the air to form acids, and winds can carry these acidic compounds hundreds of miles across the surface. Ecologically, acid rain first makes rivers, lakes, and wetlands more acidic, which in turn causes the soil to release aluminum. This aluminum then flows into water bodies and poisons fish and other water-living creatures, with the harm further spreading through food chains to affect even non-water living animals like birds. Forests also suffer great damage: acid rain not only takes away necessary nutrients such as calcium from the soil and releases aluminum, but also burns tree leaves. As a result, plants become weak in resisting cold, insects, and diseases. Besides ecological damage, acid rain also wears down stone buildings and vehicles; when it turns into breathable fog, it can cause certain health problems. To solve these problems, we need to cut down on fossil fuels used and follow air-quality rules. The United Nations has been promoting global cooperation to reduce harmful gas emissions, and such efforts have helped some ecosystems recover from acid rain damage. However, recovery is slow, and difficulties in unifying global standards make progress harder. As long as fossil fuels continue to be used, acid rain will not disappear — this remains a global challenge that requires ongoing joint efforts. 12. According to the passage, what is the main cause of acid rain? A. Natural sources from erupting volcanoes. B. Human activities like burning fossil fuels. C. The reaction of water with oxygen in the air. D. The spread of acidic compounds by wind. 13. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a direct consequence of acid rain on forests? A. Taking away essential nutrients from the soil. B. Releasing aluminum that harms plant roots. C. Burning tree leaves and weakening plants. D. Causing birds to lose their habitats. 14. What can be inferred from the passage about the recovery of ecosystems from acid rain damage? A. It is a quick process once harmful gas emissions stop. B. It is fully achieved through the efforts of the UN. C. It faces challenges for lack of unified global standards. D. It is impossible as long as fossil fuels are still in use. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the issue of acid rain? A. Indifferent B. Pessimistic C. Concerned. D. Doubtful 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。 How to Make the Most of Group Study sessions Group study can be a powerful tool for deepening understanding and boosting academic performance, but its effectiveness depends on how it’s structured. ____16____ Here are some key strategies to turn your next group study session into a productive and engaging experience. First, set clear goals before the meeting. ____17____ Without a clear agenda, discussions can easily drift off topic, leading to wasted time and frustration. For example, if the group is preparing for a math exam, the goal might be to review three specific chapters and work through five challenging problems together. ____18____ Assigning roles can help keep the session on track. A “timekeeper” ensures that each topic gets the allocated time, while a “note-taker” documents key points and action items. A “discussion leader” can guide the conversation, ensuring everyone’s voice is heard and that the group stays focused on the learning objectives. It’s also important to create a positive and inclusive environment. ____19____ Encourage members to ask questions, even if they seem “silly,” and to share their own insights and explanations. When everyone feels comfortable contributing, the group benefits from a wider range of perspectives and deeper collective understanding. Finally, end each session with a review and a plan for the next meeting. ____20____ This not only reinforces what was learned but also helps hold each member accountable. By following these steps, group study can become a cornerstone of your academic success. A. Without clear objectives, the session is likely to be inefficient. B. This means summarizing key points and assigning individual tasks. C. When done well, it can transform how you and your peers learn. D. Encourage active participation and respect for all members’ contributions. E. Another effective strategy is to divide responsibilities among group members. F. It’s better to study alone if the group dynamic is negative or unproductive. G. Choose a quiet and comfortable location that minimizes distractions. 第三部分 语言运用（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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 When I was young, I was often discouraged by my own limitations.

As the breadwinner, he was deeply engaged in his school responsibilities during my childhood. Consequently, I often felt distant from him because he had few moments to talk or interact with me. My mother, a full-time housewife, managed the household and took care of my younger brother and me, busting around the kitchen, bedrooms and grocery stores. The back garden of our house was a special place for me, it was not only a secure spot for kids but also my dad’s favorite hobby area. Whenever he was home, he would spend most of his spare time looking after his treasured roses, which my mother also adored. My father would care for his roses with great devotion and affection. Often, I would watch beside him, curious or eager for his attention, but he was usually preoccupied(全神贯注). He regularly watered the roses, cleaned the leaves, loosened and turned over the soil, and fed them with essential nutrients. His expectation was the joy and sweetness brought by their blossoming. One day, I saw him cut off some branches and stems. Then, with a sharp knife, he carefully made marks on the main branches. He cut open the marked spots to insert sprouts(嫩枝)into those new cuts and wrapped them with bandages. After all his efforts, he reminded us never to touch them. From then on, whenever my father returned home from work, he would go straight to tend to those plants. Within a month, we all witnessed the entire process: tender stems grow, form buds, and finally bear blossoms in various colors. The garden soon became a place of immense beauty, filled with rose blossoms and surrounded by their sweet fragrance. My parents truly enjoyed themselves there, and so did my brother Tommy and I. Those roses brought us immense happiness, and no one, especially me, wanted to let go of such beauty. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One sunny day, I decided to do something as my dad had done to have more roses. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Later that day, when my dad saw the great mess I had made, he was totally shocked. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2025—2026学年度下学期高二开学质量检测试题 英语 考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分 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。 1.

Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】One sunny day, I decided to do something as my dad had done to have more roses. I thought I could create another corner of beauty just like my father did. Without hesitation, I took a pair of scissors and started cutting off branches randomly. I was clumsy with the sharp knife, but I still made some rough marks on the main branches. Then I picked some sprouts from other plants and tried to insert them into the cuts. I used whatever I could find to wrap them, making a real mess in the garden. I was so focused on my “project” that I didn’t realize how much damage I was causing. Later that day, when my dad saw the great mess I had made, he was totally shocked. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the mutilated roses. I stood there, trembling with fear, expecting a severe scolding. However, instead of getting angry, my dad knelt down beside me. He gently asked me why I did this. I tearfully told him I just wanted more beautiful roses like he made. My dad smiled, hugged me, and said it was okay. He then patiently showed me the right way to do it, and from that day on, he spent more time teaching me how to take care of the roses. This incident brought us much closer. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
