B Du Mengran, a researcher at the Institute of Deep-sea Science and Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has recently made headlines as one of the 2025 Nature’s Top 10 Scientists. Known as “the deep-sea explorer”, she and her team have pushed the boundaries of human knowledge by discovering the world’s deepest known animal ecosystem below 9,000 meters, a breakthrough published in a top scientific journal in 2025. Born in a small city in Jiangxi Province, Du developed a strong curiosity about the ocean from an early age. She often spent weekends reading marine life books and dreamed of exploring the sea’s unknown parts. After graduating college with a marine biology major, she devoted herself to deep-sea research — a challenging field lacking sufficient support at the time. Many peers advised her to choose a more stable job, but she stuck to her dream and pursued further studies in deep-sea exploration. In 2024, Du led her team on a deep-sea dive mission. The journey was difficult: extreme deep-sea pressure could easily damage diving equipment, and the dark, cold environment hindered data collection. The team nearly gave up at times, but Du encouraged them with her firm determination. “Every difficulty we overcome brings us closer to the deep sea’s truth,” she said. After months of hard work, they made the extraordinary discovery that shocked the global scientific community. Nature commented that Du’s discovery opened a new chapter in deep-sea research and provided valuable insights into life’s survival in extreme environments. Her work expands human understanding of the ocean and inspires more young people to pursue science and technology careers. Du remains modest, saying the discovery is the team’s collective effort, and she will continue exploring the deep sea to uncover more of its secrets. 4. What is Du’s main achievement in paragraph 1? A. A deep-sea diving depth record. B. Lifelong curiosity about the ocean. C. New diving equipment invention. D. The deep animal ecosystem discovery. 5. What challenges did Du face in her deep-sea exploration? A. Peer oppositions and extreme weather. B. Family pressure and data collection failures. C. Limited support and diving equipment risks. D. Funding shortages and communication barriers. 6. Which of the following best describes Du? A. Honest and confident. B. Careful and friendly. C. Patient and modest. D. Determined and devoted. 7. What can be the best title for the passage? A. A New Record: Deep-sea Diving B. A Deep-sea Explorer: Du Mengran C. A Great Mission: Finding Sea Life D. A Serious Research: Deep-sea Exploration C In the 2026 spring campus recruitment season, a noticeable shift has hit China’s job market. As Guangming Daily reported, nearly half of all positions definitely require AI literacy, covering not only tech roles but also operations, design and marketing. Liberal arts graduates have become the most sought-after talents, with top firms offering five-figure salaries, which has dominated the long-running debate over arts or science being the key to future success. Experts note this is neither a win for liberal arts nor a setback for science. Instead, rigid disciplinary labels are fading, and multidisciplinary hybrid talents are rising rapidly. The argument of “liberal arts superiority” comes from misunderstanding employers’ real demands. AI has evolved beyond a mere computational tool: it now handles emotional interaction and ethical judgment, where humanistic thinking stands out. This has created new jobs like AI narrative designers, but these roles value critical humanistic capacity rather than just a liberal arts diploma. Pure coding skills are increasingly automated by AI. The most valuable engineers today combine technical expertise with human awareness. A successful AI product needs both solid algorithms (算法) and empathetic design. This situation exposes higher education’s imperfection: decades of disciplinary silos (学科壁垒) have separated arts students from technology and science learners from ethics. Sociologists believe the arts-science debate is full of false beliefs, as it sets two disciplines against each other and ignores their connection. AI is breaking old rules, and the only irreplaceable strength is hybrid capability. The future belongs to those who break disciplinary limits and integrate technology with humanity, not those stuck in single labels. 8. What does the underlined word “sought-after” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Popular and needed. B. Experienced and skilled. C. Well-educated and polite. D. Hard-working and careful. 9. What kind of talents are most valued in the 2026 job market? A. Graduates with liberal arts degrees. B. Engineers with excellent pure coding skills. C. Multidisciplinary talents with hybrid capabilities. D. Graduates with professional science knowledge. 10. What can we infer about higher education? A. It has kept pace with the job market’s demands. B. It should tear down walls between arts and science. C. It has successfully cultivated critical thinking for students. D. It focuses more on practical skills than theoretical knowledge. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. AI needs integrated talents. B. Arts graduates are more popular. C. Arts-science debate is meaningful. D. AI replaces science skills completely. D Have you ever struggled to follow a conversation in a crowded café, with clattering dishes and chattering voices drowning out your friend? You might think it’s a sign of hearing problems, but new research published in PLOS One tells a different story — this difficulty often lies in how your brain processes sound, not your ears themselves. Led by Bonnie Lau from the University of Washington School of Medicine, the study tested 49 participants divided into three groups: those with autism (自闭症), those with fetal alcohol syndrome, and typical developing individuals. All had normal hearing, but their ability to understand speech in noisy settings varied greatly. The key finding was that cognitive (认知的) ability strongly influenced their performance, and this link held true across all three groups, regardless of diagnosis. To confirm their assumption, researchers designed a computer-based task. Participants listened to a male speaker’s commands (e. g. “Ready, Eagle, go to Green Five now”) while two background voices grew gradually louder. They had to focus on the main speaker and select the matching colored and numbered box. Afterward, they took standardized intelligence tests covering verbal skills, nonverbal ability, and mental reasoning. The results showed a clear connection between intellectual ability and speech perception in noisy environments. Lau explained that listening in complex settings requires heavy cognitive work. The brain must separate different speech streams, focus on the target speaker, block background noise, decode language, and even use social skills like smiling or nodding — all of which increase cognitive load. This challenges the common misconception that listening difficulties always mean hearing loss. “You don’t have to have a hearing loss to struggle in noisy places,” Lau noted. While acknowledging that the study’s small sample size means its results require further application, Lau emphasized that the findings offer practical insights. For example, in classrooms, having students seated closer to the teacher or providing hearing-assistive tools can help, especially for neurodivergent (神经多样化的) individuals or those with lower cognitive ability. So next time you find it hard to hear in a crowd, don’t blame your ears. Your cognitive ability plays a key role, and small changes to your surroundings can make a big difference. 12. What is the purpose of the question raised in paragraph? A. To stress the harm of loud noise to ears. B. To introduce a common misunderstanding. C. To present a new finding about hearing loss. D. To show the inconvenience of hearing problems. 13. What can be inferred from the study? A. Intelligence tests predict noisy listening accurately. B. Quiet environments help improve the cognitive ability. C. Normal hearing doesn’t ensure clear listening in noise. D. Typical developing individuals act best in noisy listening. 14. What links cognitive ability and listening difficulty in noise? A. Multiple tasks raise cognitive load. B. Brain cannot tell background noises. C. Brain values social skills more highly. D. Hearing loss slows speech processing. 15. Which is the Bonnie Lau’s attitude toward the study findings? A. Doubtful and critical. B. Unconcerned and casual. C. Confident and optimistic. D. Objective but cautious. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) Rice Cultivation: A Scientific and Sustainable Way Rice is one of the world’s most important food crops, feeding billions annually. With technological development, traditional rice planting has evolved into a more scientific and efficient mode that boosts yield and protects the environment. ____16____ If you want to grow rice modernly, here are key steps. ____17____ As the saying goes, “cultivating good seedlings is half of successful rice cultivation.” First, select sturdy, full rice grains as seeds.

As a high school student who loves new ideas and digital creation, I recently took part in a school coding competition. I wanted to make a useful app to help old people use digital machines easily. My parents supported my interest, but they always told me not to let my schoolwork get worse because of the competition. Some of my classmates also didn’t believe in my plan. They thought my idea was too simple to get praise from the teachers who would judge the work. But I was sure I could finish it well. I used all my free time to collect useful information, change the difficult steps and make every part of the app better. However, three days before the competition ended, I met a big problem: my laptop broke down suddenly. All the files and codes I saved might be lost forever. I felt very upset and worried. I looked at the black screen and thought all my hard work was for nothing. I even wanted to give up the whole project. My grandmother saw how sad I was. She always encouraged me to follow my dreams. She came to comfort me and told me about her hard life when she was young. She said being hard-working, calm and strong was very important to solve problems. Her words made me feel better at once. I went to ask my computer teacher for help. Luckily, the teacher helped me get back most of the important information and gave me good ideas about the app. Time was very short, so I stayed up late for two nights to make the program again and improve all its functions. On the day of the competition, I walked onto the stage confidently. I showed my app to the judges and told them how helpful it was for old people. 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。 Paragraph 1: The moment I finished my presentation, the whole hall fell into dead silence. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After the award ceremony, my grandmother hugged me tightly, with pride shining in her eyes. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2025-2026学年度第二学期南康三中期中 高二英语练习 第一部分 听力 (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段录音，每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.
