The project,launched by the Department of Education,plans to replace 5,000 old buses with electric models over the next three years.Each electric bus can travel up to 120 miles on a single charge,enough for a full day of school routes."This is a win-win for students and the planet,"said Secretary of Education Lisa Carter. "Cleaner air means healthier kids,and these buses show the next generation how technology can protect the environment." Safety features have also been upgraded.The new buses are equipped with advanced AI systems that monitor driver behavior and pedestrian (traffic. Additionally,automatic seat belt reminders and emergency exit lights make trips safer for passengers.To help students learn about renewable energy,each bus has a small screen inside that displays real-time energy usage data. However,the transition (does come with challenges.The high cost of purchasing electric buses and building charging stations remains a barrier for many school districts.Nevertheless,the government provides financial subsidies (to 高二英语试题第3页共12页 cover 80%of the initial costs.Early data from pilot programs shows that electric buses are not only better for the environment but also cheaper to maintain in the long run.

B "I'm drawn to making things that can last.I think your job as a songwriter is to try to document a time and your story and make people feel things,but also leave something behind,"27-year-old British singer Olivia Dean said in an interview.Her search for music that stands the test of time has confirmed her status as one of pop's biggest rising stars. On Feb.28,Dean took home four honors at the 2026 BRIT Awards,including Artist of the Year,Pop Act,Song of the Year and Album of the Year.She was also crowned Best New Artist at the Grammy Awards in early February.Her second album,The Art of Loving,debuted(首次亮相)atNo.1 in the UK on its release in September 2025. 高二英语试题第4页共12页 As the child of an English father and a Jamaican-Guyanese mother,Dean learned early that the record industry had rigid expectations of the sort of music a woman of color should make.She followed her own path,drawing on her love of soul and jazz but also alternative rock."Sometimes listen to music with their eyeballs rather than their ears...I feel I could make anything I wanted to and you'd just have to get your head around it,"Dean responded. This sense of independence shines in every part of Dean's music-making process.Rather than making a pop record in Los Angeles,Dean set up her own studio in East London.There,she worked on The Art of Loving with producers she felt most comfortable with.She said the goal was to live the message of the album to feel safe and loved as she was singing about feeling safe and loved. Dean's relaxed,easy-going attitude to music-making made her album sound warm and natural.The BBC said that she sings about love and loss just like your best friends sharing their secrets."Dean's songs are highly relatable,yet they're delivered through a sound that feels fresh and distinctive,"Billboard commented. 24.What can we learn about Olivia Dean from the first two paragraphs? A.She documented stories for songwriters. B.She seeks to create truly timeless music C.She won four Grammy Awards in early 2026. D.Her first album topped the UK charts in 2025. 25.How did Olivia Dean respond to the industry's fixed ideas A.She met their expectations. B.She stayed true to her musical style C.She preferred visual shows to good songs D.She gave up her mixed cultural backgrounds. 26.What does Olivia Dean's music bring to listeners? A.A chance to share secrets. B.A new way of producing albums. C.A different attitude to making music. D.A sense of connection and understanding. 27.Which of the following can best describe Olivia Dean? A.Creative and cautious. B.Generous and easy-going. C.Traditional and ambitious. D.Independent and determined. 高二英语试题第5页共12页 C India has committed 20,000 crore to develop Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) (小型模块化反应堆)as part of its Nuclear Energy Mission.While SMRs remain more a technology of promise than certainty,this decision marks a major step in the country's long-term energy strategy.The goal is to expand nuclear capacity from 9 GW to 100 GW by 2047,with SMRs playing a key role. Unlike traditional reactors,which are massive and take up.to a decade to build, SMRs are smaller-under 300 MWe-and factory-made.They can be assembled (on-site,reducing delays and costs.Their small size also allows them to be placed-in industrial parks or near data centers,where steady power is essential. Unlike solar or wind,nuclear power provides constant and reliable output. However,the global record for SMRs is mixed.Although each unit costs less than a large reactor,it produces far less electricity.Without mass production potentially dozens or even hundreds of units-costs may remain high.Investor skepticism (has grown,as some nuclear'projects have faced major cost overruns despite technological advances.Meanwhile,solar and wind continue to expand faster and more cheaply,making them the leading source of new power worldwide. Environmental concerns also exist.Some SMR designs may produce more radioactive waste per unit of electricity,raising waste problems.Additionally, regulatory frameworks and fuel supply chains are still under development.India has yet to establish the necessary foundations. Thus,while the opportunity is significant,India must build a solid regulatory system,create a clear road-map,and decide how best to use this promising technology. 28.What makes SMRs different from traditional nuclear reactors? A.Larger physical size. B.Longer assembly period. C.Higher power output per unit D.Easier construction and setup. 29.What aspects of SMRs are mainly talked about in paragraph 3? A.Design futures. B.Mixed opinions. C.Current challenges. D.Future promises. 高二英语试题第6页共12页 30.What is the author's attitude to India's SMRs plan? A.Unconcerned. B.Critical. C.Cautious. D.Approving. 31.What is a suitable title for the text? A.SMRs:A Costly Technology with No Future B.SMRs:A Reliable Future Without Challenges C.SMRs:A Guaranteed Path to Energy Independence D.SMRs:A Powerful Opportunity Still Facing Hurdles D Transmitting information from 40,000 kilometers above Earth might sound like the stuff of science fiction,but Chinese scientists have turned it into reality.They've successfully maintained a high-speed laser (link with a high-orbit satellite for over three hours. According to Xinhua,China has launched multiple high-orbit and low-Earth orbit (LEO)satellites to provide internet services.High-orbit satellites are typically 36,000 kilometers above Earth,while LEO satellites range from a few hundred kilometers to 2,000 kilometers.Due to their higher altitude ()high-orbit satellites can cover larger areas. However,the high altitude can bring problems.The communication between these satellites and the ground isn't stable,lasting only minutes.Also,while data travels quickly from satellites,signals from Earth are much slower."It's like sending someone 10 messages and getting only one reply,"Liu Chao,a researcher from the Chinese Academy of Sciences,told Sichuan Daily."It's hard to have an efficient conversation that way." To solve these problems,the research team developed a laser communication ground station with a 1.8-meter-wide optical (telescope in Lijiang,Yunnan province.Acting like a sensitive eye,the station can detect weak signals from over 40,000 kilometers away.Additionally,scientists used a guiding laser to help the satellite and ground station quickly find each other.They also employed precise tracking and real-time corrections to keep the "conversation"stable,reported Sichuan Daily. The efforts have resulted in a breakthrough.At distances of up to 40,740 kilometers,the ground station and a high-orbit satellite achieved two-way communication in just four seconds.The link,which was as fast as one gigabit 兆比特)per second,.lasted over three hours uninterrupted,. 高二英语试题第7页共12页 According to Xinhua,this means that high-orbit satellites can not only transmit data quickly but also receive complex instructions in real time.This lays a foundation for upgrading high-orbit satellites from data relay stations into intelligent processing centers in our space network.The experiment also proved the deep-space communication abilities of ground stations."With this technology,we will be able to communicate with deep space probes(探测器)on the moon,.Mars and other locations directly from Earth,"Liu told Sichuan Daily. 32.How does the author introduce the topic? A.By quoting a scientist. B.By making a comparison. C.By defining a concept. D.By presenting a breakthrough 33.What challenge do high-orbit satellites face according to paragraph 3? A.Delayed signals from space. B.Slow data transmission to Earth. C.Poor and unreliable communication D.Limited amount of received information. 34.What is the function of the guiding laser? A.To speed up data transmission. B.To correct real-time tracking errors. C.To receive weak signals from space. D.To assist satellite-ground connection. 35.What can we infer from Liu Chao's words? A.Deep-space probes have been widely used. B.The new technology supports future space exploration. C.High-orbit satellites are now intelligent processing centers. D.Laser communication has replaced traditional satellite communication. 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。 Living in a crowded apartment doesn't mean you have to give up gardening.

They're forgiving for beginners and reward you with quick results-nothing beats picking a ripe tomato you grew yourself! 38 I also learned to test the soil pH,water according to the weather,and companion-plant (to keep pests away.For example,planting marigolds next to tomatoes repels harmful insects naturally. Besides producing vegetables,it also bonds me with neighbors.We traded harvests:my basil went to a neighbor who bakes bread,and she gave me jars of her homemade jam.39 On weekends,we often work side by side,chatting about everything from gardening to family. Of course,gardening has its challenges.There were weeks of drought last summer,and some of my plants wilted )40 Community gardening isn't just a hobby-it's a way to bring a little green into the city and warmth into people's lives.Every time I see a new sprout (push through the soil or share a handful of fresh herbs with a neighbor,I'm reminded why I started. A.It's not just about digging and planting. B.Many community gardens even offer free workshops for beginners. C.Soon after,I bought the basics:a trowel,gloves,and a watering can. D.They also provide a chance to escape city noise and get your hands dirty E.Some grow flowers for beauty,while others focus on vegetables for cooking. F.Luckily,I learned to set up a simple watering system with fellow gardeners'help. G.We also gathered for harvest festivals,each bringing dishes made from garden produce. 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白 处的最佳选项。 I vividly recall my first day at Columbia University.I was 17,eagerly 41 college life.Everyone said these would be the best years of my life-the golden 42 to finding lifelong friends. 高二英语试题第9页共12页 Making friends had never been challenging for me,so I had no 43.But reality hit quickly.During Jump Start(迎新周)，I hid in my room for three days as I felt very 44 to eat alone in the canteen.Trapped by the fear of being judged, I was terrified of looking like I didn't 45.Things turned when I met an Instagram friend who introduced me to his roommate and a few friends.Soon,we became a small group and I thought I had found forever friends.But gradually,a subtle(微妙的)46_occurred.I started_47 our meetups,,wrestling with social anxiety at every gathering.

The exhibition has enhanced the global influence of Suzhou embroidery effectively,breaking stereotypes about traditional Chinese crafts.It builds a cultural bridge between China and the West,inspires more innovative preservation of intangible cultural heritage,65 encourages cross-border cooperation between traditional skills and modern art. 第四部分写作共两节，满分40分) 第一节（满分15分） 66.假定你是李华，你的英国笔友Peter在职业规划中陷入困惑：他想追求自己 热爱的艺术设计专业，但又担心家人反对。请你给他写一封邮件，内容包括： (1)表明观点； (2)给出具体建议。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80个左右； (②)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Dear Peter, I can deeply relate to the dilemma you are faced with Yours, LiHua 高二英语试题第11页共12页 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。 One sunny afternoon,golden sunshine spread across the basketball court, catching the bouncing ball and the sweaty boys.Leo,a thin kid in a wheelchair, rolled slowly over to the edge of the court.His mom,Mrs.Carter,stood a few steps away,watching him quietly with a worried look in her eyes-she knew how much he missed basketball.Leo stopped under a big tree,his eyes locked on the healthy boys running and jumping around freely.Their laughter floated in the air as they dribbled ()passed,and shot.Leo's eyes were full of admiration and he could almost feel what it was like to hold the basketball. His mom walked over gently,putting a hand on his shoulder."Honey,do you want to head home?"she asked softly.Leo.shook his head,not taking his eyes off the court.“Just a little longer,Mom,”he mumbled(嘟嚷). He loved basketball more than anything before the accident,but now he could only watch from far away,like someone who didn't belong.He bit his lower lip hard, trying not to let the tears in his eyes fall.His longing for basketball and sadness about his disability twisted together in his chest,making him feel lonely and helpless -as if the whole world had moved on without him. Right then,Alex,a tall boy who stopped to rest,noticed Leo."Hey,man,I'm Alex"he said,holding out a hand.Leo hesitated for a second,and then shook it weakly."Leo,"he replied."You like basketball a lot,right?"Leo's eyes lit up a little, but then dimmed(暗淡)again.“I used to play,”he said,,staring at his legs.Before the accident."Alex nodded,his expression softening."I bet you were good at it. Why not join us?"Hearing his words,Leo gave a small,sad smile."I'm afraid I can't!"Then he left with his mum.
