Each has a personality shaped by the goods and services produced and traded for centuries. But each town has more to do than shop. Hereford, Herefordshire Hereford has remained a lively market town since 1189. Skirting the town square, you’ll find lovely shops, eateries, and the Black and White House Museum. The Hereford Cathedral is the most impressive building in town. It’s also home to an ancient library. One of the four original copies of the Magna Carta is displayed there. Ludlow, Shropshire Ludlow is known as the Foodie Center of England. Butcher shops, greengrocers, bakeries, and cheese shops line the town square. Bordering the square, the Ludlow Castle is a “must explore” medieval stronghold. The three-day Ludlow Food Festival is held each September. Shrewsbury, Shropshire Getting to Shrewsbury Town Center from London is challenging but worth the anxiety. The River Severn has a significant turn through town, almost making an island of Shrewsbury Town Center. The shape creates a perfect market where goods could be shipped and received using the river as a highway. Flowers are everywhere — hanging baskets, window boxes, and planters — just what you imagine in an attractive English market town. Mevagissey, Cornwall Even if you haven’t been to the small fishing village Mevagissey, you’ve probably seen it in a movie or British TV show. The working harbor (港口) took shape in 1774. Fishermen go out to sea daily and sell their fish in harbor-side markets. Don’t leave the harbor without a traditional Cornish pie. It’s delicious. 21. Where can you find an original copy of the Magna Carta? A. In the Ludlow Castle. B. In the Foodie Center of England. C. In the Hereford Cathedral. D. In the Black and White House Museum. 22. What is a feature of Shrewsbury Town Center? A. It’s situated near a big island. B. It’s almost surrounded by water. C. It’s known for its flower festival. D. It’s easily accessible from London. 23. What does the author suggest visitors do in Mevagissey? A. Try the Cornish pie. B. Watch a British TV show. C. Go fishing in the sea. D. Take pictures of the harbor. B We’ve all heard the stories of an actor’s struggles before a career breakthrough: living a hard life, working part time, being a couch potato before getting that major role. Shelby, the star of “A Dog’s Way Home”, has a hard-luck story that could top them all. Before her big break, she was living in a landfill, looking through rubbish for her next meal. Shelby’s big break came in April 2017, when animal-control officer Megan Buhler was driving in Cheatham County, Tennessee. Out on an unrelated call, Buhler found what she recalled was an obviously scared puppy appearing from the landfill. “I just said, ‘Oh, come here, baby,’” said Buhler. “She was so scared, but she came right up to me, and I was able to put her in my truck.” The pair headed to the county animal shelter, where the staff began calling the new resident Baby Girl. Buhler and others didn’t know that 3, 200 kilometers away, Hollywood was looking for a dog to play Bella in a film written by Cathryn Michon. The find-a-Bella job went to Teresa Ann Miller. Her job was to search shelters nationwide for a dog that could play Bella. One day, Miller found Baby Girl’s adoption photo. “Honestly, it was a really good picture, and she was flat-out smiling,” Miller said. Then she met Baby Girl, and tested her on personality and the ability to respond to simple commands. After the test, she adopted Baby Girl from the shelter, renamed her Shelby and took her to California for training. Miller and Shelby trained for just over three months before filming began. Then they were together each day on the set. Most of the film’s reviews have praised Shelby’s performance. Variety made the comments “an amazing dog, perfect performance!” Shelby has come a long way from the landfill. But Buhler said she saw Shelby recently and needed only a second to compare the movie star with the dog she found from piles of trash. “She’s exactly the same,” Buhler said. 24. Where did Buhler get the puppy? A. In a landfill. B. In an animal shelter. C. In a training house. D. In a film studio. 25. What finally helped Baby Girl get the big role in the film? A. Her adoption picture. B. Her flat-out smiling. C. Her personality and ability. D. Her terrible experiences. 26. What can we learn from Buhler’s words in the last paragraph? A. Shelby returned to where she was found. B. It cost a lot to change Shelby’s fate. C. Shelby’s inner qualities haven’t changed. D. She was really excited to see the dog again. 27. What is probably the best title of this passage? A. The Success of “A Dog’s Way Home” B. From a Landfill Puppy to a Movie Star. C. The Trainer and Her Star Dog. D. Shelby’s Hard-luck and Miserable Story. C When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants, she didn’t have high hopes for it. But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1, 200 orders in June of 2020 alone. In the past year, Detrinidad sent out more than 70, 000 plants. Her success is just one example of increased time at home leading to an explosion in the houseplant industry. “Plants are in fashion right now,” says Dr. Melinda Knuth, a researcher from the University of Florida. “People who live in plant-rich environments report a higher life satisfaction rating,” she says. “Adding more nature to our environment can change our mood and how we think.” Plants can improve our state of mind in a few ways but the biggest is by decreasing our level of cortisol, the stress hormone (激素) in our body. “Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.” If you’re among the groups of people who are enjoying the mental and physical health benefits of surrounding yourself with plants, don’t beat yourself up if one (or a few!) doesn’t make it. “Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says. 28. How was Detrinidad’s business when it started? A. It faced tough competition. B. It suffered a great loss. C. It got lots of financial support. D. It went surprisingly well. 29. What is one of Knuth’s findings about plants? A. They appeal more to students. B. They purify the environment. C. They raise the cortisol level. D. They enhance productivity. 30. What does Detrinidad try to explain by mentioning doctors and lawyers? A. The necessity of social skills. B. The meaning of sustainability. C. The importance of repeated efforts. D. The value of professional opinions. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Time to Replace Houseplants B. Plants Boost Your Mood C. Tips on Choosing Houseplants D. Plants Brighten Your Home D About 20, 000 years ago, much of Europe, Asia, North and South America was covered by huge sheets of ice, each many kilometres thick. Since then, the ice has gradually melted and the ice sheets have retreated. Today, the only ice sheets on Earth’s land masses are found in Antarctica and Greenland. Some ice also occurs as glaciers in mountainous regions and as floating ice floes in the Arctic Ocean and around Antarctica. At first sight, these remote left-overs from the last Ice Age seem of little importance for most of us today. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Many scientists believe that our planet is warming as a result of the greenhouse gases that we are pumping into the atmosphere. If the planet becomes warmer, the ice sheets will start to melt, causing sea level to rise perhaps several metres by the end of this century. Such a rise would cause widespread flooding of low-lying coastal areas and threaten many large cities. Observations from space suggest that parts of the major ice sheets are beginning to melt more rapidly. Meanwhile, recent satellite images have also shown that unusually large areas of sea ice have been melting during the Arctic summer. Although sea level will not be affected by the melting of the floating ice, there will be other important environmental changes. For example, ice sheets act like a mirror, reflecting sunlight and cooling Earth. If the ice disappears, Earth is likely to become warmer and major climate changes could occur. Wildlife living in the polar regions may also be destroyed. 32. What does the underlined word “retreated” probably mean? A. Grown. B. Reduced. C. Formed. D. Disappeared. 33. What’s most common people’s attitude towards the ice sheets? A. Optimistic. B. Critical. C. Sincere. D. Unconcerned. 34. What would happen if the greenhouse gases continue to increase? A. Vast amounts of land will be flooded. B. Large cities in the world will disappear. C. The sea level will drop to its lowest level. D. Global temperatures will see ups and downs. 35. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Ice sheets melt faster than floating ice. B. The melting of floating ice isn’t damaging. C. Sea ice melting will have disastrous effects. D. Space research contributes to climate changes. 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 Can You Create Luck in Everyday Life? What is luck?

No other type of literature creates such strong feelings and emotions as poetry.

My husband and I had completed a week-long tour and felt confident that we could wander through the streets by ourselves now. We had enjoyed a full day of exploration when suddenly the sky turned from clear blue to gray. “It’s time to head back!” I said. As we went on along the road to our hotel, Kvart, the storm clouds covered the entire sky, and the first raindrops began to hit our heads. “Should we grab a taxi?” I yelled, the rain being so loud that I had to raise my voice. “No, we can make it,” my husband boomed back. “It’s only a twenty-minute walk.” As the rain and wind increased, so did our footsteps. The streets had turned into roaring rivers that quickly soaked our shoes. Suddenly, the biggest eruption of thunder I had ever experienced sounded directly above us! I thought my heart truly stopped for that moment. We hurried forward, but it wasn’t long before we realized that we had been walking much longer than it should have taken us to reach our hotel. Where on earth did we take the wrong turn? We had not bought international phone cards, so we couldn’t call for help, and the streets were empty. Suddenly we noticed some lights on at a gas station. Great, at least we could ask someone there for help! As we approached it, two men were refueling their Chevrolet car. We asked them how to get to Kvart. They didn’t reply but managed a friendly nod and smile. We went on to explain the situation with the few awkward Russian phrases we had just learned. They listened intently, but it was obvious that they were becoming increasingly confused. We had to try our luck back on the street, praying for help.” 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。 Then a familiar Chevrolet car pulled up alongside us. _____________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally they understood what we meant. ________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年高二第二学期4月期中质量检测·英语 参考答案、提示及评分细则 听力部分录音稿 (Text 1) W: Dennis, do you still live with your parents? M: No. I moved out last month. I’ve already decided to live on my own. W: How can you afford the rent? M: I’ve been employed by a new company. (Text 2) W: Bradley, some audience said your acting in the movie is barely satisfactory. So what do you think of your performance? M: I’m not quite satisfied with it either. But it’s just my first movie. I’m sure I’ll do better next time. (Text 3) M: I heard there will be a power cut tonight. W: Don’t worry. I’ve already bought some candles. M: So when will it begin? W: It’ll begin at 7:00 pm and will last for three hours. (Text 4) W: Did you have a good time during your camping? M: Just so-so. Phoebe had been called away by her boss before we set out. Jenny felt sick all the way. I had to send her to Martin’s to give her a physical checkup. W: Oh! Maybe she got carsick. (Text 5) M: I was thinking about ordering some takeout. Do you want to order a personal dish or share something bigger? W: I’ll just get a piece of beef and some vegetables. I had a late lunch, so I don’t have much of an appetite right now. (Text 6) W: It’s Children’s Day. Will we stay at home all day? Why don’t we go to the amusement park? M: Oh, there’s always too much noise. W: What about the circus? M: Circus? Is it still in town? W: Yes, and you promised our son you’d take him there before it leaves. M: The circus will be so crowded today. What about going to the cinema? Peter likes watching movies. W: That sounds good. (Text 7) W: The water supply of our building has been cut off. I haven’t stored any water for cooking today. M: Then are you up for a restaurant meal tonight? W: I guess we have no choice but to eat out. We could go to the Mexican restaurant around the corner of our street. M: I’d like to try something different this time. W: Then we can go the Italian restaurant or the French restaurant. M: I prefer the latter. W: It’s fine with me. The restaurant is a bit far. Will we drive or take a taxi there? M: Well, we’ve been a couch potato recently. I would rather ride shared bikes all the way there. W: Ok, it’s up to you. (Text 8) W: Tom, what were you watching just now? M: I was watching a TV series Heartland. It’s about a family who lives on a ranch with horses and cattle. W: Why did you watch such s series? It must be very boring. M: Well, it may sound boring to you, but I really love watching it. Though its story is neither exciting nor touching, it tells about the life that I truly want to live. W: You mean you want to live a simple and peaceful life? M: Yes. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about living in the countryside like my grandparents. I can keep many animals and plants and then get safe, healthy food there. I can even slow my pace in the busy world, looking at the scenery around me and enjoying myself. W: So do you want to move to the countryside? M: Yes. If you get tired of the city life someday, why not experience it for yourself? W: Well, I grew up here. Life here is so much more exciting. (Text 9) W: Dave, what about going to Maya Bay in Thailand for a holiday this year? The magazine says it’s a very famous beach in the country. M: I know that beach. It made headlines in 1999 when some people arrived there to film the famous Hollywood movie The Beach. Since then, tourists have flooded in this beach with as many as 4,000 visitors arriving on boats every day. W: That’s really hard to believe. M: Yes. Sadly, tourism ruined the natural life there. That is why the Thai government closed the beach to tourists for about four years. W: I didn’t know it was closed for about four years. So when did it reopen? M: It reopened in January 2022. Now there is a limit of 300 visitors per day. W: Well, I think it’s a good decision. M: I agree. Scientists there believe that beach is a natural resource they have to preserve. Actually there’re many other great beaches in Thailand. We don’t have to visit that one. W: You’re right. But I don’t know any other beaches. M: It’s easy. Let’s search for some information on websites and then make a decision. W: Good idea. (Text 10) Ava Milukas is a lovely 8-year-old girl who started to paint when she was 4 years old.

World Ocean Day, falling on June 8th, is aimed at raising awareness of ocean conservation. Ocean plays a key role in our world. Not only does ocean offer us sufficient food, but also it maintains the balance of nature. Thus, it is imperative to protect ocean. First of all, what we can do is to place importance on our daily actions. For example, garbage can’t be thrown into ocean. What’s more, we can also hand out leaflets to call on more people to protect the ocean. The more people are involved, the better the ocean environment is. All in all, it is high time that we devoted ourselves to protecting ocean. To protect ocean is to protect ourselves. 读后续写： One possible version: Then a familiar Chevrolet car pulled up alongside us. It was the same car we had seen earlier at the gas station. The driver rolled down the window and waved at us with the other man beside him, saying a few words in Russian. Although we didn’t understand the language, we quickly resorted to gestures, wanting to grasp the last straw. Suddenly, my husband got an idea. He rummaged through the bag, pulled out the hotel card and pointed frantically to it with the repeated word “Kvart”, hoping they would understand. Thankfully, the driver nodded and the other man typed Kvart into his phone map and showed us, as if asking us for confirmation. Seeing this, we nodded desperately and gave thumbs-up signs. Finally they understood what we meant. And more fortunately, they offered to escort us back to the hotel. The driver started the engine and the other man beside him occasionally glanced at us with a reassuring smile. We felt safe and secure, though the streets were still deserted and the rain was relentless. After what seemed like an eternity, we arrived and the rain began to let up. The driver parked the car and opened the door for us. We thanked them profusely, but they just smiled and left. We walked into the hotel, feeling exhausted but grateful. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
