Ma still remembers the day when he first saw two big pink birds walking through the water. “I had never seen such pretty birds. They were even taller than me, with long wings,” Ma recalls. He was later told that the birds were flamingos (火烈鸟), which were listed on the International Union for Protection of Nature’s red list of endangered species in 2013. From that day on, Ma started his second career as a volunteer to prevent human beings from interfering with the wildlife. “The birds are attracted by the good environment,” Ma says. “I will do my best to protect the lake so that birds can come here every year.” Yuncheng Salt Lake covers an area of 132 square kilometres and used to serve as a salt production base. As the country began paying more attention to environmental protection, an ecological (生态的) protection and development centre was set up in 2012 to carry out regular ecological protection and restoration (修复) of the lake. “The greatest value of the Salt Lake lies in its ecology, which should be properly restored and protected,” says Chu Xianghao, mayor of the city. The lake area hosts 292 types of wild animals, along with 782 plant varieties, some of which are newly recorded species in the country. After patrolling the lake as volunteer for over four years, Ma was paid by the local government to help with wildlife protection in 2019. “The lake’s ecology is getting better,” Ma says, adding that he looks forward to the arrival of the flamingos every year. “Some of them are my old friends,” he says. 8.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了一个运城盐湖的守卫者和生态保护的重要性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““The birds are attracted by the good environment,” Ma says. “I will do my best to protect the lake so that birds can come here every year.”(马说：“这些鸟被这里良好的环境所吸引。我会尽最大努力保护这片湖泊，以便让鸟儿每年都能来到这里。”)”可知，他每天巡逻盐湖是为了保护生态，守卫盐湖。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文““The birds are attracted by the good environment,” Ma says. “I will do my best to protect the lake so that birds can come here every year.”(马说：“这些鸟被这里良好的环境所吸引。我会尽最大努力保护这片湖泊，以便让鸟儿每年都能来到这里。”)”可知，马为了保护这个湖，让鸟儿每年都能来这里而开始巡逻盐湖，所以是为了阻止人类活动对野生动物造成不好的影响，推知interfering with 意为“干扰”。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““The greatest value of the Salt Lake lies in its ecology, which should be properly restored and protected,” says Chu Xianghao, mayor of the city.(“盐湖最大的价值在于其生态，应当对其进行妥善的恢复和保护。”该市市长储祥好说道)”可知，盐湖的最重要价值在于它的生态，需要正确地恢复和保护，所以保护盐湖的生态是非常重要的。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““The birds are attracted by the good environment,” Ma says. “I will do my best to protect the lake so that birds can come here every year.”(马说：“这些鸟被这里良好的环境所吸引。我会尽最大努力保护这片湖泊，以便让鸟儿每年都能来到这里。”)”以及最后一段“After patrolling the lake as volunteer for over four years, Ma was paid by the local government to help with wildlife protection in 2019.(马作为志愿者在湖边巡逻了超过四年，之后在 2019 年，当地政府聘请他来协助进行野生动物保护工作)”可知，马红义尽全力保护环境和生态, 并且坚持了四年，是个很有责任心的人。故选A。 D Long ago in China, people told stories in a special way: with shadow puppetry. It is a very old art form. It uses light, a white cloth screen, and flat puppets (木偶) to perform famous Chinese tales. This art is believed to have originated over a thousand years ago, possibly during the Han Dynasty. Different regions in China developed their own styles. For example, Shaanxi province is famous for its bold (粗犷的) and simple designs, while puppets from southern areas like Zhejiang are known for being more delicate and finely carved. The stage is simple. A light is placed behind a white cloth. The puppeteer controls thin puppets made from treated animal skin, usually donkey or cow hide. The puppets are cut into shapes of kings, heroes, and animals, and painted in bright colors. When moved near the screen, their colorful shadows (影子) act out stories from history and legends. A single play can require dozens of different puppets. This art demands great skill and patience. The puppeteer must move the puppets perfectly using thin sticks to show actions like walking or fighting. The same person also does all the voices, changing his or her tone to match different characters. Musicians play traditional instruments like the drum and erhu during the performance, adding emotion to the story. In the past, shadow puppet troupes (剧团) traveled between villages. Their arrival was a big event, bringing entertainment and teaching lessons about bravery and kindness to communities with few other amusements. Today, this old art faces challenges. Fewer young people are learning it. Artists are trying new ideas to sustain this art, which means they want to keep it alive for the future. Some create stories about modern life, like going to school or using computers. Others perform in shopping malls or post videos online to reach a wider audience. These efforts aim to show that shadow puppetry is not just history, but a living art that can still be exciting today, keeping a precious piece of cultural beauty. 12. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A. To explain how to make a puppet. B. To introduce an ancient Chinese art of storytelling. C. To describe the colors used in puppetry. D. To list the tools needed for a performance. 13. In the last paragraph, the artists want to “sustain” this art, which is an action that means they want to . A. remember its long history B. make it continue and not disappear C. change it into a modern play D. make it easier to learn 14. What is mentioned as a difference between regional styles of shadow puppetry? A. Some use lights while others use candles. B. Some tell old stories while others tell new ones. C. Puppets from Shaanxi are bold, while southern ones are delicate. D. Some perform for free while others charge money. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Shadow puppetry (皮影戏) is too difficult and should be replaced by movies. B. Shadow puppetry is only interesting to historians. C. Through creativity, shadow puppetry can remain meaningful today. D. The government must do more to save old arts like shadow puppetry. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国古老的皮影戏艺术，包括其起源、表演方式、地域风格、历史意义以及当代艺术家为传承这一艺术所做的创新努力。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Long ago in China, people told stories in a special way: with shadow puppetry. It is a very old art form. It uses light, a white cloth screen, and flat puppets to perform famous Chinese tales.(很久以前，中国人用一种特殊的方式讲故事：皮影戏。这是一种非常古老的艺术形式。它利用光、白布屏幕和扁平木偶来表演著名的中国故事。)”可知，第一段的主要目的是向读者介绍皮影戏这种古老的讲故事艺术形式。故选B。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段“Artists are trying new ideas to sustain this art, which means they want to keep it alive for the future.(艺术家们正尝试新想法来sustain这门艺术，这意味着他们希望让它未来也能继续存在。)”可知，艺术家们正尝试新想法让这门艺术未来也能继续存在，由此可推知sustain在此处的意思就是“使其继续存在，不消失”。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“For example, Shaanxi province is famous for its bold and simple designs, while puppets from southern areas like Zhejiang are known for being more delicate and finely carved.(例如，陕西省以其粗犷简洁的设计而闻名，而浙江等南方地区的木偶则以更为精致和雕刻精细著称。)”可知，不同地区皮影戏风格的差异体现在陕西的粗犷与南方的精致上。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章最后一段提到皮影戏面临挑战，但艺术家们通过创新（如讲述现代生活故事、在网上发布视频等）来传承这门艺术，并总结道“These efforts aim to show that shadow puppetry is not just history, but a living art that can still be exciting today(这些努力旨在表明，皮影戏不仅仅是历史，而是一种在今天仍然可以令人兴奋的活着的艺术)”。由此可知，文章的主旨是通过创造力，皮影戏在今天仍然可以保持其意义。故选C。 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。 Embracing a Green Lifestyle Living a green lifestyle is not only beneficial for the environment but also for your health and wallet.

My parents, both engineers, hoped I would follow a more traditional path. It was in this climate of doubt that I met Mr. Anderson, my art teacher. Mr. Anderson was different. His classroom was a safe place of creativity, filled with the smell of paint and possibility. While others saw my painting as a hobby, he saw potential. He would spend extra hours after school, not just teaching me techniques, but discussing the stories behind great artworks and the emotions they showed. He once told me, “True art isn’t about perfection; it’s about voice. It’s about having the courage to show the world how you see it.” Encouraged by his words, I decided to pour my heart into a piece for the annual Provincial Youth Art Competition. I spent weeks on a painting titled The Crossroads, showing a young figure standing at a crossroads, with one path brightly lit and well-trodden, and the other, darker and overgrown, but leading towards a distant, shimmering (闪烁的) light. It was a metaphor (隐喻) for my own struggle. The day the results were announced, I rushed to the school notice board, my heart pounding. I looked through the list of winners from the bottom up. Third place... not me. Second place... not me. First place... still not my name. A weight settled on my chest. I failed. I wasn’t as good as I thought. Maybe my parents were right. I turned away, feeling the dream inside me seeming to break into a million pieces. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As I was about to leave, I felt a hand on my shoulder. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Twenty years later, standing in my own art studio, that moment remains vivid. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： As I was about to leave, I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was Mr. Anderson. “I know what you’re feeling,” he said softly, leading me away from the crowd. “But did you pour your heart into that painting?” I nodded tearfully. “Then it’s a success,” he declared. “The judges’ opinion was just one perspective,” he continued. “You must walk towards that shimmering light in your painting yourself, even if no one else sees it at first. This is just the beginning of finding your own unique voice.” His words, like a beacon, began to remove the shadows of my doubt. Twenty years later, standing in my own art studio, that moment remains vivid. My painting The Crossroads now hangs on the wall as a reminder of the day when I almost gave up. The shimmering light I once painted now floods the room. Success, I’ve learned, isn’t defined by a single award but by the resilience to keep creating. I often think of Mr. Anderson, the teacher who saw the light in my work when I myself could not. His belief became the foundation upon which I built my career. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。上高中时，作者对艺术的热爱被视为干扰，父母也希望其走传统道路。在艺术老师鼓励下，作者参加比赛，结果落选，顿感梦想破碎，内心失落。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“正当我准备离开时，我感到有一只手搭在了我的肩膀上。”可知，第一段可以描写作者比赛失利后安德森老师叫住并安慰作者的过程，老师对画作的肯定、对作者坚持自我风格的鼓励，以及这番话对作者打消疑虑的作用。 ②由第二段句首内容 “二十年后，我站在自己的艺术工作室里，那一刻依然历历在目。” 可知，第二段可以描写二十年后作者拥有自己画室的现状，挂在墙上的画作对当年往事的纪念意义，作者对成功的全新感悟，以及对安德森老师当年知遇之恩的感念。 2.续写线索：一只手搭在肩膀上 —— 老师安慰鼓励，点醒迷茫 —— 打消疑虑，重拾信心 —— 二十年后拥有专属画室 —— 画作纪念往事——领悟成功真谛 —— 感念师恩，坚守艺术初心 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①点头：nod/nod one’s head/give a nod ②继续：continue/go on/carry on ③走向：walk towards/head for/make one’s way to 情绪类 ①泪流满面地：tearfully/with tears in one’s eyes ②几乎放弃：almost give up/nearly quit/be on the verge of giving up 【点睛】【高分句型1】“I know what you’re feeling,” he said softly, leading me away from the crowd.(运用了what引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】I often think of Mr. Anderson, the teacher who saw the light in my work when I myself could not.(运用了who引导的定语从句、when引导的时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 秦皇岛市第三中学 2025-2026 学年度第二学期 月考 高二英语试卷 A 考试时间：120 分钟，分值 150 分 第 I 卷（选择题） 第一部分 听力理解（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。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

C Every day as the sun rises, Ma Hongyi, a 66-year-old farmer, can be seen patrolling (巡逻) Yuncheng Salt Lake with his dog in Yuncheng city, North China’s Shanxi province. Ma still remembers the day when he first saw two big pink birds walking through the water. “I had never seen such pretty birds. They were even taller than me, with long wings,” Ma recalls. He was later told that the birds were flamingos (火烈鸟), which were listed on the International Union for Protection of Nature’s red list of endangered species in 2013. From that day on, Ma started his second career as a volunteer to prevent human beings from interfering with the wildlife. “The birds are attracted by the good environment,” Ma says. “I will do my best to protect the lake so that birds can come here every year.” Yuncheng Salt Lake covers an area of 132 square kilometres and used to serve as a salt production base. As the country began paying more attention to environmental protection, an ecological (生态的) protection and development centre was set up in 2012 to carry out regular ecological protection and restoration (修复) of the lake. “The greatest value of the Salt Lake lies in its ecology, which should be properly restored and protected,” says Chu Xianghao, mayor of the city. The lake area hosts 292 types of wild animals, along with 782 plant varieties, some of which are newly recorded species in the country. After patrolling the lake as volunteer for over four years, Ma was paid by the local government to help with wildlife protection in 2019. “The lake’s ecology is getting better,” Ma says, adding that he looks forward to the arrival of the flamingos every year. “Some of them are my old friends,” he says. 8. Why does Ma patrol Yuncheng Salt Lake every day? A. To observe the flamingos closely. B. To come across the flamingos again. C. To serve as a keeper of the lake. D. To admire the scenery around the lake. 9. What does the underlined phrase “interfering with” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Sharing space with. B. Causing problems to. C. Bringing benefits to. D. Losing control of. 10. What can be inferred about Yuncheng Salt Lake from Paragraph 3? A. It is still used as a salt production base. B. Its restoration will be carried out soon. C. It’s home to 292 types of endangered wildlife. D. The protection of its ecology is of great importance. 11. Which word can best describe Ma? A. Responsible. B. Creative. C. Honest. D. Humorous. D Long ago in China, people told stories in a special way: with shadow puppetry. It is a very old art form. It uses light, a white cloth screen, and flat puppets (木偶) to perform famous Chinese tales. This art is believed to have originated over a thousand years ago, possibly during the Han Dynasty. Different regions in China developed their own styles. For example, Shaanxi province is famous for its bold (粗犷的) and simple designs, while puppets from southern areas like Zhejiang are known for being more delicate and finely carved. The stage is simple. A light is placed behind a white cloth. The puppeteer controls thin puppets made from treated animal skin, usually donkey or cow hide. The puppets are cut into shapes of kings, heroes, and animals, and painted in bright colors. When moved near the screen, their colorful shadows (影子) act out stories from history and legends. A single play can require dozens of different puppets. This art demands great skill and patience. The puppeteer must move the puppets perfectly using thin sticks to show actions like walking or fighting. The same person also does all the voices, changing his or her tone to match different characters. Musicians play traditional instruments like the drum and erhu during the performance, adding emotion to the story. In the past, shadow puppet troupes (剧团) traveled between villages. Their arrival was a big event, bringing entertainment and teaching lessons about bravery and kindness to communities with few other amusements. Today, this old art faces challenges. Fewer young people are learning it. Artists are trying new ideas to sustain this art, which means they want to keep it alive for the future. Some create stories about modern life, like going to school or using computers. Others perform in shopping malls or post videos online to reach a wider audience. These efforts aim to show that shadow puppetry is not just history, but a living art that can still be exciting today, keeping a precious piece of cultural beauty. 12. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A. To explain how to make a puppet. B. To introduce an ancient Chinese art of storytelling. C. To describe the colors used in puppetry. D. To list the tools needed for a performance. 13. In the last paragraph, the artists want to “sustain” this art, which is an action that means they want to . A. remember its long history B. make it continue and not disappear C. change it into a modern play D. make it easier to learn 14. What is mentioned as a difference between regional styles of shadow puppetry? A. Some use lights while others use candles. B. Some tell old stories while others tell new ones. C. Puppets from Shaanxi are bold, while southern ones are delicate. D. Some perform for free while others charge money. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Shadow puppetry (皮影戏) is too difficult and should be replaced by movies. B. Shadow puppetry is only interesting to historians. C. Through creativity, shadow puppetry can remain meaningful today. D. The government must do more to save old arts like shadow puppetry. 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。 Embracing a Green Lifestyle Living a green lifestyle is not only beneficial for the environment but also for your health and wallet.

My parents, both engineers, hoped I would follow a more traditional path. It was in this climate of doubt that I met Mr. Anderson, my art teacher. Mr. Anderson was different. His classroom was a safe place of creativity, filled with the smell of paint and possibility. While others saw my painting as a hobby, he saw potential. He would spend extra hours after school, not just teaching me techniques, but discussing the stories behind great artworks and the emotions they showed. He once told me, “True art isn’t about perfection; it’s about voice. It’s about having the courage to show the world how you see it.” Encouraged by his words, I decided to pour my heart into a piece for the annual Provincial Youth Art Competition. I spent weeks on a painting titled The Crossroads, showing a young figure standing at a crossroads, with one path brightly lit and well-trodden, and the other, darker and overgrown, but leading towards a distant, shimmering (闪烁的) light. It was a metaphor (隐喻) for my own struggle. The day the results were announced, I rushed to the school notice board, my heart pounding. I looked through the list of winners from the bottom up. Third place... not me. Second place... not me. First place... still not my name. A weight settled on my chest. I failed. I wasn’t as good as I thought. Maybe my parents were right. I turned away, feeling the dream inside me seeming to break into a million pieces. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As I was about to leave, I felt a hand on my shoulder. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Twenty years later, standing in my own art studio, that moment remains vivid. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
