B The Fahai Temple,located at the southern foot of Cuiwei Mountain in the Shijingshan district of Beijing, houses Ming Dynasty frescoes()dating back nearly 600 years.Today,a brand-new Fahai Temple Mural Art Center has been built at the foot of the mountain. "By using digital modern technology,valuable digital resources have been created,allowing the inactive frescoes to come to life,"said Liu Xiaobo,the art center's curator. First built in 1439,the Fahai Temple is known as one of the"three major frescoes in China"together with the frescoes found in Dunhuang and Yongle Palace."The frescoes show 77 figures,including ordinary people, Buddhas and bodhisattvas,each with different postures and expressions,"said Liu. With the fall of Ming Dynasty,the prosperity of the Fahai Temple too came to an abrupt end.However, in recent years,the development of a high-tech industry featuring creativity services and digital technology has given the Shijingshan district government more confidence in the digital display of frescoes. At the exhibition of Fahai Temple Mural Art Center,the original mural paintings are displayed on a 4K HD screen,presenting them at their actual size.Each of the 77 figures is portrayed with thorough attention to detail using 3D modeling at the pixel (level. The facial details of Water-moon Avalokitesvara,one of the most representative figures on the frescoes of Fahai Temple,are hard to make out in dim conditions.However,after using 3D modeling,the figure's face, which measures over 3 meters tall,can be seen clearly on the 4K HD screen at the mural hall of the art center. "Through technological means,we can zoom in on them to show specific details and introduce the content of the frescoes item by item,offering the audience ample time to understand the frescoes,"Liu explained. 24.What can we know about the Fahai Temple frescoes? A.They were built during the Qing Dynasty. B.They are among China's three major frescoes. C.There are altogether 77 Buddhas in the frescoes. D.They remained prosperous in the Ming Dynasty. 2025~2026学年度第二学期期中学情检测高二英语试卷第5页，共12页 25.Why is 3D modeling used for the frescoes? A.To reduce the actual size of the figures. B.To make the figures move like real ones. C.To change the facial expressions of the figures. D.To show the details more clearly and completely. 26.What does the underlined word"zoom in on"probably mean? A.Enlarge B.Decorate C.Restore D.Appreciate 27.What is the main idea of the text? A.The long history of the Fahai Temple frescoes. B.Ways of appreciating the Fahai Temple frescoes. C.The introduction of three great Chinese frescoes. D.Application of digital technology to ancient frescoes. C Graphene is based on carbon and is often described as a wonder material:it's super strong,super light,and an excellent conductor of heat and electricity.It's already widely used and promises to significantly improve consumer electronics in the future.However,producing graphene on a large scale remains difficult and expensive,which has led researchers to explore alternative methods. Led by a team from the University of New South Wales,the new research shows that the peanut shell has the potential to boost graphene production,and in a way that's cheaper and more eco-friendly than some traditional graphene making methods.Worldwide peanut production results in more than 10 million tons of waste piling up each year.Key to the process is the natural material called lignin ()which is packed with carbon.It was already known to be present in peanut shells,but the researchers had to figure out the best way to process it. The researchers first prepared the peanut shells through a controlled heating process to remove unwanted substances.They then applied a technique known as flash heating,which uses electricity to raise the temperature to over 3,000C within milliseconds.This rapid heating rearranges the structures of peanut shells. "That process is vital to give us the best carbon-rich material to help ensure there are few imperfections in the final graphene and that it is indeed just a single layer,"says Yeoh. Although the peanut-shell-to-graphene line has been experimented with before,this study highlights how carefully controlling the starting material can significantly improve the resulting graphene quality.That's not to say the process is perfect yet,though.The resulting graphene material scores highly in terms of quality but is typically composed of a few graphene layers in a disordered way,and the technique could take three to four years to expand for larger use,the researchers note.Work to further refine the process from this lab-based proof of concept will continue,and researchers are now exploring whether similar methods could be applied to other materials such as coffee grounds or banana peels. 2025~2026学年度第二学期期中学情检测高二英语试卷第6页，共12页 28.What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A.To explain how graphene is produced. B.To describe the fruits of researches on graphene. C.To compare graphene with other materials. D.To introduce graphene's advantages and limitation. 29.What makes peanut shells suitable for graphene production? A.Their carbon content. B.Their light weight nature. C.Their health-friendly feature. D.Their large yearly output. 30.What is the function of the flash heating? A.Removing. B.Structuring. C.Cleaning. D.Packing. 31.What is the author's attitude toward the current research? A.Uninterested in its practical use. B.Doubtful about its future value. C.Completely satisfied with its results. D.Positive but aware of its limitations. D Here on Earth,it might not matter if your wristwatch runs a few seconds slow.But in outer space,critical functions like communication and navigation require even greater clock accuracy down to a billionth of a second-or more.To get the precision needed to fly through the cosmos requires an atomic (clock. We are sending more spacecraft further into deep space than ever before.But every one of those spacecraft out there depends on its navigation being performed right here on Earth to tell it where it is and,far more importantly,where it is going.In fact,tracking a spacecraft as it travels through deep space is fundamentally a problem of measuring time.Scientists can't just pull out a ruler and measure how far away the spacecraft is. But they can measure how long it takes a signal to get there and back again.And the concept is exactly the same as an echo.If people stand in front of a mountain and shout,the longer it takes for them to hear the echo back at them,the further away that mountain is. Measuring the amount of time it takes for the signal to travel between Earth and a space probe is absolutely critical for deep space exploration and can be the difference between a successful mission and a failed mission because getting it wrong by just a tiny fraction of a second might mean the difference between the spacecraft's safely and gently landing on the surface of another planet and creating yet another crater() on that surface.Just a tiny fraction of a second,and it can be the difference between a mission's life and death. For this reason,incredibly precise clocks are vital for deep space missions.The only time measuring tool that is equipped for the job is the atomic clock.Not only are they incredibly exact,they are also extraordinarily reliable.And designing and building a precision instrument that can support that is as much art as it is science and engineering 32.What leads to the need for an atomic clock? A.The use of atomic energy in navigation. B.The necessity of instant communication. C.The functional limitations of a wristwatch. D.The precise measurement of time in space. 33.Why does the author give the echo example? A.To prove sound travels faster in mountains. B.To explain how scientists locate spacecraft. C.To show why shouting is useless in space. D.To compare space navigation with daily activities. 2025~2026学年度第二学期期中学情检测高二英语试卷第7页，共12页 34.What can be concluded about time measurement from paragraph 3? A.A slight mistake in it could ruin a mission.B.It helps scientists decide what to learn. C.A better technology could make it easier. D.It is used to control the spacecraft's speed. 35.What will the author probably discuss next? A.Why other clocks will fail in space. B.What instruments can replace atomic clocks. C.How atomic clocks are developed. D.Where atomic clocks can be used on Earth. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。选 项中有两项为多余选项。 Animals have always had to adapt.36 The rate of species loss is growing,and it's estimated to be between 1,000 and 10,000 times higher than the natural extinction rate.The World Wide Fund for Nature revealed a 73%decline in the average size of the wildlife populations monitored between 1970 and 2020. Currently,around a third of amphibian species are at risk of extinction. Mass extinction events can also cause animals to evolve as the territories they live in change so quickly. Animals must adapt to survive in new environments where previous wildlife has been eliminated.37 Our ancestors evolved three times faster in the 10 million years following the giant species'extinction compared to the previous 80 million years. 38 After all,those adapting well are far more likely to survive.Many animals use hairless parts of their body to help regulate their body temperature.In the case of wood mice,their tails are becoming longer. Similarly,the ears of elephants are growing This comes down to simple physical principles:animals can cool off more quickly through larger surface areas.At the same time,animals are becoming smaller,which again helps them to lose heat more quickly because of the greater surface areas to volume.Animals are also becoming lighter in colour.39 Surely,it's a good thing that animals are adapting?Well,yes and no. Adaptation to meet one challenge can create new challenges,Birds with larger beaks(),for example, may find it more difficult to feed.40 The current situation has scientists concerned about the rate at which this“shapeshifting'”is happening, A.This may lead to unnecessary food waste. B.Those without this ability have simply been extinct. C.The realistic question is how far an animal can adapt. D.Global warming destroys the homes of many animals. E.Animals change body structures due to climate change. F.For instance,evolution exploded after dinosaurs died out. G.That keeps them cooler and better hidden in sunny places. 2025~2026学年度第二学n如+业 第三部分语言运用（共三节，满分35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，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 Daniel and Martin both work full-time-Daniel as a landscaper,Martin in the chemical industry.But when they're not on the clock,they're out 41 people who are struggling to make ends meet.

That afternoon,David rushed home excitedly,telling his grandmother about the project.Her eyes lit up. "I have the perfect story to share,"she assured.The next day,she prepared enthusiastically shopping for fabrics at Petra's Fabric Place,where everyone knew her as a skilled tailor.She'd started sewing there after moving in, easing her loneliness.She felt like she knew everyone in class including Mrs.Petrovski well because David talked about them all the time.Therefore,she decided to make hand-sewn gifts tailored for each one.Learning that Mrs.Petrovski's mother,a Russian living in America for many years,would come as well,she would make a lovely traditional Russian hat for her as a special surprise,In the next two days,she rushed to get things done. But on Wednesday,David's excitement faded when classmates shared their relatives'dramatic stories: Joseph's grandfather,a retired policeman,had chased a cat that stole a purse;Ramon's father,a firefighter,had rescued workers from a factory fire;Marisa's aunt,a vet ()had saved a mistreated dog.Compared to these exciting tales,David worried his grandmother's story about sewing would seem boring. He considered pretending to be sick,practicing fake coughs on his way home.After he tried this excuse at home,he also pointed out that the gifts prepared for the presentation hadn't been put into the bags yet.Amy looked thoughtful,telling him how she learnt to sew from her mother during childhood illness.David was speechless.He realized how important sewing was to his grandmother and how she expected to share her story about sewing with others. 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。 At that moment,he felt ashamed of himself, Next morning,he accompanied Amy to the presentation,bags in hand. 20?5~?6学年度第二学期期中学情检测高二英语试卷第12页，共12页
