B From a young age,I had dreamed of becoming a professional musician.I spent hours practicing the violin,imagining myself performing on grand stages.So,when I auditioned( for a famed music academy,I believed it was my chance to take a major step toward my goal. The day the results were released,I rushed to check my email.My heart pounded as I opened the message."We appreciate your audition"and "The competition was intense"were followed by "Unfortunately,we are unable to offer you a spot."I stared at the screen in disbelief.All my dedication,all the years of effort-had they been for nothing? For weeks,I struggled with self-doubt.I questioned whether I had any talent at all. Every time I picked up my violin,I felt an overwhelming sense of failure.Just as I was about to give up,my music teacher sat me down for a conversation.She told me that rejection was not the end,but rather a redirection.She encouraged me to join a community orchestra B),where I could continue to develop my skills and play music for the complete joy of it. At first,I hesitated.I had always associated success with first-rate programs and distinguished titles.But after some thought,I decided to give it a try.To my surprise,playing in the orchestra reawakened my passion.Unlike the competitive atmosphere of auditions,here I played purely for the love of music.I met musicians from all walks of life and even had the 高二英语阶段性考试第4页共12页 chance to teach younger students.I began to see that fulfillment wasn't just about fame-it was about sharing music in a meaningful way. Later,when I auditioned for another music program,I still felt nervous.But this time, rejection wouldn't shake me.I had learned that my dream wasn't about being accepted into one specific school-it was about the joy of music itself.No rejection could take that away from me. 24.How did the author feel before reading the rejection email? A.Anxious. B.Angry. C.Surprised.D.Settled. 25.What did the author's music teacher suggest? A.To find a career outside of music. B.To redirect and just enjoy the music. C.To practice harder for the next audition.D.To pursue another famed music academy. 26.Why did the author enjoy playing in the orchestra? A.It offered a path to fame and success. B.It was recommended by a famous musician. C.It was less competitive and more meaningful. D.It presented an easier opportunity for auditioning. 27.What lesson did the author learn from this experience? A.Rejection is a sign to give up. B.Fame is the motivation for action. C.Passion matters more than recognition.D.Success comes only from top institutions. C Every year across the world,vaccines (prevent as many as five million people from dying.Unfortunately,most vaccines need to be kept cool to stop them from going off.This makes it difficult to transport them to remote areas,because if they get too warm they won't work.This is what Dr Asel Sartbaeva has been attempting to solve. Growing up,Asel Sartbaeva always looked up to scientists like Michael Faraday and Marie Curie.When she studied at Cambridge University in England,she met an award-winning physicist called Brian Josephson."My jaw dropped,"she said,"It felt like a big thing'for me to be working in the same place as scientists I had looked up to for so long." In 2010,Asel Sartbaeva took her daughter Melinda to be vaccinated.She noticed the doctor had kept the vaccines in the fridge.When she got home,she started reading about it 高二英语阶段性考试第5页共12页 online and found that there are places around the world where vaccines can't be delivered because they can't be refrigerated for the whole journey-meaning some people miss out on getting vaccines.Sartbaeva wanted to invent a way to keep vaccines stable at all temperatures, so she came up with ensilication. Over the next few years,Sartbaeva and her team have tested out a number of different ways to see if the ensilicated vaccines can be kept stable when they're out of the fridge.One of these experiments involved sending some vaccines in the post from Bath to Newcastle.The journey is more than 300 miles,which can take a day or two by post,but the vaccines were still safe to use when they arrived. In 2021,Sartbaeva was named a UNICEF Ambassador for Girls in Science project.She designed experiments to get more girls interested in the science-based subjects."In addition to my scientific and teaching work,I want to make scientific discoveries closer and more understandable to people,"she said. 28.What does the underlined phrase "going off"in paragraph 1 probably mean? A。Boiling.B。Being misused.C。Failing. D。Being polluted. 29.How did Sartbaeva feel about her meeting with Brian Josephson? A。Honored.B。Scared. C。Amused. D。Embarrassed. 30.What inspired Sartbaeva's idea of ensilication? A.Limitations of the vaccine storage. B.Vaccine shortages in some places. C.Her daughter's unexpected illness. D.The children's high demand for vaccines. 31.Why does the author mention the journey in paragraph 4? A.To introduce the core of ensilication. B.To show the effectiveness of ensilication. C.To compare different means of transportation. D.To emphasize the hardship of the experiment. D The global shipping industry is alone responsible for three percent of the total greenhouse gas emissions (humans produce.If left unaddressed,in a few decades,it will account for over 10 percent of the total man-made emissions. A new study from MIT researchers reveals a practical solution to this problem.The 高二英语阶段性考试第6页共12页 study authors have developed an emission-free approach to produce hydrogen (Ha )fuel, which generates only water when burned,for commercial ships.They also claim they can make hydrogen fuel using easily accessible resources. This isn't the first study proposing (the use of aluminum (a silver-gray metal that soda cans are made from)for producing hydrogen fuel.It's already well known that when aluminum and water react,hydrogen is formed as one of the byproducts.Such chemical reactions,however,come with a sort of challenge:It only works when aluminum is used in its pure state.The moment aluminum meets with oxygen,such as in air,its surface immediately forms a protective layer that prevents further reactions. During their study,the researchers turned recycled soda cans into small aluminum balls. They pretreated the aluminum balls with a rare-metal alloy (that effectively purifies aluminum,making it into a pure form that can react with seawater to generate hydrogen.The salt ions (in the seawater can in turn attract and recover the alloy,which can be reused to generate more hydrogen.The team found that this reaction successfully produced hydrogen gas,though slowly. They experimented with different chemicals including the ones that are typically found in kitchens and realized that adding coffee made a difference."A low concentration of caffeine is enough to produce the same amount of hydrogen in just five minutes,compared to two hours without it,"the study authors note."The next part is to figure out how to use this for trucks,trains,and maybe airplanes,"Aly Kombargi,lead study author,said. 32.How can the MIT researchers contribute to the shipping industry? A.By providing a clean energy source. B.By developing new fuel storage methods. C.By improving fuel efficiency in existing ships. D.By planning more convenient shipping routes 33.What is the challenge when making hydrogen from aluminum? A.Hydrogen is too expensive to make.B.The chemical reaction happens too slow. C.Aluminum easily reacts with oxygen.D.The metal surface prevents further reactions. 34.What can be inferred about the MIT researchers'hydrogen generation process? A.It requires large quantities of alloy. B.It produces significant waste chemicals. 高二英语阶段性考试第7页共12页 C.It creates hydrogen in a sustainable cycle.D.It generates hydrogen with low purity. 35.What can be the best title for the text? A.Hydrogen Fuel:A Game Changer of Transportation B.Cans+Seawater+Coffee:A Greener Shipping Future C.Coffee:The Secret Substance for Clean Shipping Fuel D.Aluminum:A Pioneering Material for Hydrogen Production 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Choose Your Purpose-Filled Career When you think about choosing a career,you often do it in the following two ways. Think about what you like to do.If you like writing or doing crafts,you might consider these things.This is not a bad way to go,of course,but you can't always make money doing things you like(like video games or drinking beer).36 Think about a well-paid job that you can do and doesn't sound so bad.37 Or maybe that's out of your educational reach,so you choose office or retail worker(零售工人). These are all great choices.But often they are not something you're really passionate about. It's kind of like just doing something because it's there-not very inspired. _38 Try to do something to serve a community or make the world better.For example,taking care of children,because you really want to help children get a great start in life,or blossom into who they want to be or getting into government or social work to improve the conditions of the community you live in or becoming a scientist to help ease the environmental crisis or find a cure for a terrible disease.39 And if you choose one of them for that purpose,you will serve in that work feeling a sense of purpose each day. 40 The point isn't how you serve the world,but just serving the world in some way will help you feel filled with purpose.If you choose a purposeful and enjoyable job, you're always further along than most people. A.There are endless ways to do that. B.Maybe a doctor,engineer or lawyer? C.However,there's another way that is perhaps better. D.You are dreaming of a well-paid job which you like best. E.It's essential not to concentrate on interests and good payment. 高二英语阶段性考试第8页共12页 F.Each of these is just one of many possibilities filled with purpose G.And sometimes things you like are better as a hobby or side passion. 第三部分语言知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最 佳选项。 When I was a little girl,I remember that when my dad was repairing something,every time he asked me to 41 the hammer,just so we would have a time for a 42 with each other.I 43 saw my dad drinking or taking a night out,all he did after work was taking care of his family.
