Most schools offer plenty of opportunity for exercise through organized teams or classes in yoga， soccer， volleyball and other fitness activities， or by providing recreation centers where students can exercise， swim， work out or play different sports. Finding healthy food to eat in the schools can be more of a challenge.However， as American society becomes more educated and concerned about health problems， even some fast food restaurants offer healthy alternatives such as salads， soups and low-fat sandwiches. There are strict restrictions on smoking in most schools， too.In addition， schools usually include a student health center where students can seek medical attention.This is really a bonus for the students， because a simple doctor’s appointment can cost a hundred dollars， and a short hospital stay will cost thousands. 第二部分　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 　　（2025·广东肇庆高二下期末） Esmeralda 　　This Portuguese ship sank off the coast of Oman in 1503. First discovered in 1998 and then extensively excavated （发掘） by a team led by David Mearns between 2013 and 2015， it is the oldest shipwreck recovered from Europe’s Age of Exploration. Black Sea Shipwreck 　　Discovered in 2018 by a team from the Black Sea Maritime Archaeology Project， the ship sank more than 2，400 years ago. It is the oldest undamaged shipwreck ever found. “A ship in such good condition from the classical world， is something I would never have believed possible，” said Professor Jon Adams， the principal investigator of the team that found the wreck. Gribshunden 　　The flagship of John， King of Denmark， caught fire and sank in the Baltic Sea in 1495. There， it lay undiscovered until members of a local dive club came across it in the 1970s； unaware of its significance， they did not report it to archaeologists until 2000， and not until 2013 was the wreck’s identity confirmed. Considered one of the best-preserved shipwrecks of the period， it has slowly been revealing its secrets. Black Swan 　　In May 2007， a Florida-based company announced that， using underwater robots， it had discovered a shipwreck in the Atlantic， code-named （代号为） “Black Swan”. However， the government of Spain claimed that the wreck was the Nuestra Senora de las Mercedes， a Spanish ship that sank off the coast of Portugal in 1804 following a battle with four British navy ships. After a long legal battle， the treasure was returned to Spain in 2012. 语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四艘古代的沉船。 21.Which shipwreck is the latest discovery？（　　） A.Esmeralda. B.Black Sea Shipwreck. C.Gribshunden. D.Black Swan. 解析：B　细节理解题。根据Esmeralda部分第二句可知，Esmeralda沉船是在1998年首次被发现的；根据Black Sea Shipwreck部分首句可知，Black Sea Shipwreck是在2018年被发现的；根据Gribshunden部分可知，Gribshunden沉船是在20世纪70年代被一家潜水俱乐部的成员发现；根据Black Swan部分首句可知，Black Swan沉船是在2007年5月被发现的。对比以上沉船被发现的时间可知，Black Sea Shipwreck被发现的时间是最新的。 22.What do Black Sea Shipwreck and Gribshunden have in common？（　　） A.They were discovered in the same area. B.They were first noticed by local people. C.They were in good shape when discovered. D.They were in the possession of a royal family. 解析：C　细节理解题。根据Black Sea Shipwreck部分第二句可知，Black Sea Shipwreck是迄今为止被发现的最古老的完好无损的沉船；根据Gribshunden部分末句可知，Gribshunden沉船被认为是那个时期保存最完好的沉船。综合以上信息可知，这两艘沉船的共同之处是它们被发现时保存完好。 23.How did Spain get Black Swan returned？（　　） A.By going to the court. B.By contacting the Portugal government. C.By joining a battle against British navy. D.By offering another treasure as an exchange. 解析：A　细节理解题。根据Black Swan部分末句可知，经过长期的法律斗争后，Black Swan才得以回归西班牙。由此可知，西班牙是通过诉诸法律才得以让Black Swan回归。 B 　　（2025·江西吉安高二下期末） In 1381， the Ming armed forces killed Zheng He’s father and captured him when he was ten years old. He became a eunuch （太监） and was sent to serve in Yan’s household of Prince Zhu Di. He learned military and fighting strategies， as well as studied the works of Confucius. He became a very close friend of the prince. 　　Later， he fought on Prince Yan’s side and accompanied him in numerous battles throughout China. He was a key player in Yan’s gaining imperial power （政权）. In 1404， Zheng He was promoted to Grand Eunuch. The Yongle Emperor appointed Zheng commander of a large treasure fleet （舰队） and over twenty thousand men. Zheng He， at thirty-three years old， had the highest rank of any eunuch in the history of China. 　　In the autumn of the following year， his fleet left Nanjing for Calicut， located on the west coast of India. This was the first of seven expeditions of the treasure fleet. Over the years， he travelled to many areas. He traded and made many diplomatic （外交的） friends during these expeditions. 　　The Yongle Emperor died in 1424. By this time， Zheng He， who was fifty-three years old， had already finished six voyages and had brought back many envoys from various foreign lands to meet the emperor. However， the Yongle Emperor’s oldest son， Zhu Gaochi， was made the Hongxi Emperor. In his nine month rule， the emperor stopped all treasure fleet repairs and construction because of the expenses. 　　In 1425， the Hongxi Emperor passed away. The new ruler was the Xuande Emperor and he made a decision to send Zheng He and his treasure fleet out once again. In 1432， when Zheng He was sixty-one years old， he left with one of his largest fleets for his final sea voyage across the Indian Ocean. Zheng He died on the return voyage in 1433 as his fleet was sailing east from Calicut. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了中国明朝时期著名航海家郑和的人生经历。 24.Why did the Yongle Emperor put Zheng He in such a high position？（　　） A.Because of his high spirits and great wisdom. B.Because of his extraordinary courage and strength. C.Because of his civil and military skills and devotion. D.Because of his firm perseverance and superior ability. 解析：C　推理判断题。根据第一段倒数第二句和第二段前两句可知，郑和学习军事和作战策略，研读孔子著作，且追随燕王四处征战，在燕王夺取政权中发挥了关键作用，这体现了他的文韬武略及忠诚，所以永乐皇帝让他担任高位。 25.How old was Zheng He when he first voyaged？（　　） A.33.　 B.34. C.53.　 D.61. 解析：B　细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句以及第三段前两句可知，郑和33岁被永乐皇帝任命为庞大宝船舰队的指挥官，而舰队是在第二年秋天出发，即郑和首次航行时是34岁。 26.What was the reason why Zheng He failed his voyage in 1425？（　　） A.Absence of mind.　 B.Fear of enemies. C.Lack of manpower.　 D.Shortage of funds. 解析：D　细节理解题。根据第四段可知，1424年永乐皇帝去世，他的长子朱高炽即位成为洪熙皇帝，在其九个月的统治期间，由于开支问题，洪熙皇帝停止了所有宝船舰队的维修和建造。由此可知，资金短缺是1425年郑和无法进行航行的原因。 27.Which is one of Zheng He’s achievements in his expeditions according to the text？（　　） A.Prince Zhu Di’s imperial power. B.Occupying various foreign lands. C.New breakthroughs in diplomacy. D.Fleet’s repairs and construction. 解析：C　细节理解题。根据第三段末句可知，郑和在远航中所取得的成就之一是结交许多外国朋友，在外交方面取得了新突破。 C 　　（2025·江苏常州高二下期末）The city of Dunhuang is located at a point of vital importance， on a crossroads of two major trade routes within the Silk Road network. Lying in grassland at the edge of the Taklamakan Desert， Dunhuang was one of the first trading cities encountered by traders arriving in China from the West. The remarkable Mogao Caves contain the largest storeroom of historic documents along the Silk Road and bear witness to the cultural， religious， social and commercial activities that took place in Dunhuang. 　　The Mogao Caves show not only the religious importance of Dunhuang， but also its significance as a center of cultural and commercial exchange. One of the caves， known as the “library cave”， contains as many as 40，000 scrolls， which are of great value to the understanding of the cultural diversity of this Silk Road city. The earliest text dates back to 405 AD， while the latest 1002 AD.The arrangement of documents in this library cave shows that they were purposely stored there， and it seems likely that the local temples used the cave as a storeroom. 　　According to these documents， a large number of imports arrived from as far away as north-east Europe. Interestingly， the scrolls that mention caravans （商队） are usually recorded in Sogdian， Uighur， or Turco-Sogdian， indicating that they were indited by the foreign traders in the city. Dunhuang was not simply a receiver of trade， and it had a very active export market， too. The scrolls refer to a large number of goods produced in the city and sold to foreign traders. 　　Crafts and skills also moved along the Silk Road as traders and craftsmen met and exchanged notes. Some scrolls illustrate the use of woodblock printing in Dunhuang， a technique that originated in China in the early 8th century. Woodblock printing later spread across Asia， as traders passed on the crafts and skills that they had acquired while travelling along the Silk Road. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了敦煌在丝绸之路上的重要地位及其文化、商业和历史价值。 28.What do we know about Dunhuang？ （　　） A.It made the Taklamakan Desert well-known. B.It acted as the center of the Silk Road network. C.It moved to its present position due to the Silk Road. D.It was one of the first trading cities in China for Westerners. 解析：D　细节理解题。根据第一段前两句可知，敦煌是西方商人进入中国时最早接触的贸易城市之一。 29.What is the greatest value of the scrolls in the “library cave” according to the text？（　　） A.Their long history. B.Their commercial significance. C.The historic exchange they show. D.The cultural diversity they show. 解析：D　细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，“藏经洞”中的卷轴对了解敦煌的文化多样性具有重要价值。由此可知，这些文献的最大价值在于它们展示了文化的多样性。 30.What does the underlined word “indited” in paragraph 3 possibly mean？（　　） A.Written.　 B.Occupied. C.Protected.　 D.Bought. 解析：A　词义猜测题。根据第三段第二句可知，商队的文献是由外国商人用特定语言书写的。由此可知，画线单词与written意义相近。 31.What is the purpose of the last paragraph？（　　） A.To explain why Dunhuang is famous. B.To explain what was recorded in the scrolls. C.To show the Silk Road is important to knowledge spreading. D.To show woodblock printing was invented by the Chinese. 解析：C　推理判断题。根据最后一段可推知，通过描述丝绸之路沿线的技艺传播，特别是雕版印刷术的传播，展示了丝绸之路对知识传播的重要性。 D 　　（2025·湖北武汉高二下期末） Maya civilisation once stretched across a vast territory in Mesoamerica， in what is today southern Mexico and Central America. It was home to thriving cities and thousands of people， but over the course of two centuries， major cities would be emptied， with their grand temples abandoned and vivid artworks unfinished. 　　Interaction with the neighboring Olmec civilisation is believed to have stimulated advances in Maya architecture， resulting in the construction of huge ritual complexes surrounded by cities. Among the most important urban centers were Uxmal， Palenque， Chichén Itzá， Tikal， Copán， and Calakmul. Built during the Classic period （AD 200－900）， the Maya’s soaring pyramid temples and grand buildings — believed by some to be palaces — were richly decorated with sacred art dedicated to the gods. 　　Scholars have determined that the Maya did not rule as a unified empire. Rather， this was a shared society. Power struggles did occur， but they were fought by rival city-states or local ajaws （阿嘉瓦）， or rulers. Numerous inscriptions （铭文） have been found on monuments， but none date to later than the year 800. 　　Archaeological evidence indicates that in this year， the city suffered a violent attack. The royal family and other members of the nobility were murdered， and their bodies were deserted， complete with their emblems （徽记） of power and jadeite jewelry， into three temporary burial spaces. 　　Such violence was not unusual in the region， but this incident stands out as part of a larger pattern. In the first decades of the ninth century， a political and social crisis affected almost all Maya cities. By the end of the Classic period， Maya sculptors had stopped carving monuments. Scribes had ceased recording their rulers’ deeds， and workers had abruptly stopped construction on palaces and temples. Cities were abandoned. What became known as the Maya collapse was just beginning. 　　The collapse — a decline that spread from city to city — lasted more than a hundred years. It began in the region known as Petexbatún and crossed the lands near the Usumacinta River. As cities fell like dominoes， the jungle began to claw back land from the Maya civilisation. Plant roots and tendrils curled through palaces， temples， and squares. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了玛雅文明的兴衰历程。 32.What is believed to have helped promote Maya’s prosperity according to the passage？（　　） A.The decline of neighboring city-states. B.The non-stop wars against neighboring states. C.The friendly relationship with Olmec. D.The conquest of neighboring city-states. 解析：C　细节理解题。根据第二段首句可知，与邻近的奥尔梅克文明的交流刺激了玛雅建筑的发展，也就是说二者之间的友好关系促进了玛雅的繁荣。 33.What might have caused the beginning of the collapse of the Maya civilisation？（　　） A.An economic decline.　 B.A large-scale attack. C.Power abuse.　 D.A divided social system. 解析：B　推理判断题。根据第四段和第五段首句可知，这种暴力在该地区并不罕见，而且这一事件是该地区更大模式的一部分。由此推知，一场大规模的冲突使得玛雅文明开始走向衰落。 34.Which of the following facts is in agreement with the content of passage？（　　） A.Mexico and northern America used to be the location of Maya empire. B.The Maya civilisation reached its peak during the Classic period. C.The first decades of the eighth century witnessed the decline of Maya civilisation. D.The collapse of Maya empire lasted more than two centuries. 解析：B　推理判断题。根据第二段末句和第三段末句可知，公元800年之前玛雅文明的繁荣是存在的，而公元800年之后就不存在了。由此推知，玛雅文明在古典时期达到鼎盛。 35.What is the passage mainly about？（　　） A.The history from prosperity to collapse of Maya civilisation. B.An research into the causes of wars between Maya and neighboring city-states. C.The significant status of Maya grand artworks in history. D.The causes of a sudden change of Maya political power. 解析：A　主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段可知，本文主要讲述了玛雅文明从兴盛到衰落的过程，从社会关系、艺术表现、政治体制等多方面分析了引起这一变迁的历史原因。 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。 　　Picture this： you’re tramping through the rugged wilderness， surrounded by towering trees and breathtaking views.

It 56.　　　　　　 （be） unimaginable that it could ever be cleaned up. The river was so polluted that it 57.　　　　　　 （actual） caught fire and burned. Now， years later， this river is one of 58.　　　　　　 most outstanding examples of environmental cleanup. 　　But the river wasn’t changed in a few days 59.　　　　　　 even a few months. It took years of work 60.　　　　　　 （reduce） the industrial pollution and clean the water. Finally， that hard work paid off and now the water in the river is 61.　　　　　　 （clean） than ever. 　　Maybe you are facing an impossible situation. Maybe you leave a habit 62.　　　　　　 is driving your family crazy. Possibly you drink too much or don’t know how to control your credit card use. When you face such an impossible situation， don’t you want a quick fix and something to change immediately？ 　　While there are 63.　　　　　　 （amaze） stories of instant transformation， for most of us the 64.　　　　　　 （change） are gradual and require a lot of effort and work， like cleaning up a polluted river. Just be 65.　　　　　　 （patience）. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章通过克利夫兰凯霍加河污染被成功治理的例子告诉读者，任何事物的改变都是一个渐进的过程，要有耐心。 56.was　考查动词的时态。根据时间状语In 1969可知，此处描述的是过去的情况，应用一般过去时。主语是It，所以为第三人称单数。 57.actually　考查副词。此处修饰动词，应用副词actually作状语。 58.the　考查冠词。分析句子结构可知，“one of the＋形容词最高级＋可数名词复数”是固定结构，表示“最……之一”，所以此处应用定冠词the。 59.or　考查连词。in a few days和even a few months是并列关系，且在否定句中，应用or连接，表示“或者”。 60.to reduce　考查动词不定式。“It takes some time to do sth”是固定句型，意为“做某事花费多长时间”，所以此处为动词不定式形式。 61.cleaner　考查形容词比较级。根据空后的than ever可知，此处应用比较级形式。 62.that/which　考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词habit，指物，且关系词在从句中作主语，所以应用关系代词that或which。 63.amazing　考查形容词。修饰名词stories，应用形容词，amazing 表示“令人惊奇的”，用来形容事物。 64.changes　考查名词复数。根据空后的are可知，此处应用名词的复数形式作主语。 65.patient　考查形容词。系动词be后接形容词作表语，patient意为“耐心的”。 第四部分　写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 　　（2025·山东日照高二下期末） 自从上世纪以来，长白山一直有“天池怪兽”的报道。请你用英语写一篇短文，向班里的同学介绍这一未解之谜。内容包括： 　　（1）目击者描述不尽相同； 　　（2）有人认为它与苏格兰的尼斯湖水怪是表亲； 　　（3）科学家认为这种低温湖不具备大型动物的生存条件。 注意：（1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 参考词汇：天池（Heavenly Lake）；尼斯湖水怪（Loch Ness Monster） 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 参考范文： 　　There have been reports of monsters in Heavenly Lake since last century. Descriptions of monsters vary， but no one has an exact idea of what the monsters look like. 　　Some photos have been taken but they are not clear because of the long distance. Many people think the monsters may be distant cousins of the Loch Ness Monster in Scotland. Some also think that there might be similar creatures in other lakes around the world. 　　Scientists， however， doubt their existence. In their opinion， the low-temperature lake is unlikely to be able to support such large living creatures. 第二节（满分25分） 　　阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 　　（2025·山东济南高二下期末） On a sunny weekend， Lily， an adventurous high-school senior， and her close friends， Jack and Emma， decided to go hiking in the nearby mountains. Equipped with backpacks filled with water， snacks， and a map， they were excited to explore the great outdoors. 　　As they walked along the well-marked track， chatting and laughing， the weather took an unexpected turn. Dark clouds rolled in quickly， swallowing the sun. The wind started to roar， and soon， rain poured down heavily. The path became slippery， and visibility dropped significantly. 　　Lily， trying to keep up everyone’s spirits， suggested they find a place to take shelter. They spotted a small cave on the side of the hill and made their way towards it. Inside the cave， the air was damp and cold. As they gathered closely together， waiting for the storm to pass， they realised they had left their emergency flashlight in Jack’s backpack， which he had accidentally dropped on the trail during their rush to the cave. 　　After what seemed like hours， the rain finally stopped， but the sky remained cloudy. When they stepped out of the cave， they were shocked to find that the track was no longer recognizable. Mudslides had occurred， and large stones blocked their way back. To make matters worse， Jack checked his phone and found that there was no signal. 　　With a sense of unease coming in， they knew they had to find a way out of the mountains before nightfall. They decided to follow a small stream they saw， hoping it would lead them to a more familiar path or a nearby village. As they walked along the stream， the path became increasingly difficult， with steep slopes （陡坡） and thick underbrush. 　　Suddenly， Emma let out a scream. She stepped on a loose rock and twisted her ankle badly. Lily and Jack rushed to her side， their faces filled with worry. Now， not only did they have to find their way out， but they also had to help their injured friend. 注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式作答。 　　Lily and Jack exchanged anxious looks， their minds racing for solutions. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　Just when they felt tired and hungry， Lily spotted a village in the distance.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 参考范文： 　　Lily and Jack exchanged anxious looks， their minds racing for solutions. Jack quickly took off his backpack and looked through it， finding a bandage to wrap Emma’s ankle as best as he could. “We can’t leave her here，” Lily said firmly， her voice echoing with determination. They made a makeshift stretcher using branches and their jackets， carefully placing Emma on it. The going was slow and difficult as they navigated the rough path. Every step was a struggle， but their bond as friends kept them going. As the afternoon wore on， tiredness began to set in. 　　Just when they felt tired and hungry， Lily spotted a village in the distance. Heart pounding with hope， they made their way towards it. To their joy， they found a well-used path that led to the village. With renewed energy， they quickened their pace. Finally， they reached the small village at the foot of the mountain. The villagers， kind-hearted and helpful， provided them with food， shelter， and called for medical help for Emma. Safe and sound， Lily， Jack， and Emma learned the true meaning of friendship and courage in the face of adversity. 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
