She went on to have three children with her husband who was a soldier, but their marriage eventually broke up. Mary Kay struggled for years to take care of her children on her own. But she took on various sales jobs in the direct selling industry, aiming to rise in her career. However, after many years of selling various products, along with a few middle management and trainer roles, she started to feel like she was being overlooked for more prominent (杰出的) leadership roles because she was a woman. As such, she finally decided to take matters into her own hands. Once her kids were out of the house and on their own, at the age of 45, Mary Kay Ash decided to become her own boss. She started her own cosmetic (化妆品) company. She started off very small, but in just a few short years, she managed to turn Mary Kay Cosmetics into a multi-billion dollar company that still serves and empowers people all over the world to this day. Despite her age, Mary Kay went on to author many best-selling books like The Mary Kay Way, Miracles Happen, You Can Have It All, as well as a few others, and she became an inspiration to countless women. Due to the success of her business and her aim to inspire as many people as possible, she became a multi-millionaire and was named as “The Greatest Woman in American History”. 24.

The new bottles have an attached cap, a design that is supposed to make it easier for consumers to recycle the whole package (包装) at once — and to keep caps out of the dustbin. The change only applies to UK bottles. “This is a small change that we hope will have a big effect, ensuring that when consumers recycle our bottles, no cap gets left behind,” said Jon Woods, general manager at Coca-ColaGreat Britain, in a statement Tuesday. Plastic waste is a major environmental problem. It’s also a big public relations problem for companies like Coke. When the company’s bottles or caps end up on beaches or in landfills (垃圾填埋场), consumers recognize them as Coke products, doing great harm to Coke’s reputation (声誉). As a result, more companies are taking steps to try to reduce their waste. However, some environmentalists don’t think highly of Coca-Cola’s efforts, saying they fall short. “Whether their plastic caps are attached or not, the company still produces billions of throwaway plastic bottles every year, harming our environment, our communities and our climate, and influencing our health,” said Graham Forbes, global plastics project lead at Greenpeace USA. “If they truly want to solve the problem, Coca-Cola must focus on reducing plastic by doubling its reuse and refill packaging target to 50% by 2030,” said Forbes. 28. Why do the new Coke bottles have an attached cap? A. To sell Coke products. B. To collect empty bottles. C. To keep Coke caps in the dustbin. D. To better recycle Coke packages. 29. What does the underlined phrase “fall short” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Are not enough. B. Are worth praising. C. Are satisfying. D. Are unnecessary. 30. What can we learn from the text? A. Coke’s reputation has been destroyed. B. Coke’s new bottle is used around the world. C. Plastic waste might do harm to a company’s fame. D. Coke has doubled its reuse and refill packaging target. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. A Small Change with a Big Impact B. We should Say No to Plastic Waste C. Coke’s New Bottle Cap doesn’t Come off D. Coke Keeps Plastic Waste out of the Dustbin D Michael Gonsalves, a chef of Golden Oak at Disney World, has a cuisine concept rooted in fresh, locally-sourced ingredients that originated from childhood harvesting produce from their family garden with his mom to eventually leading kitchens at Walt Disney World Resorts to employ a sustainable (可持续的) model. “Truly the whole process starts with menu planning,” he said. Creating one dish leads into the creation of many more through the end-to-end use of products. As chefs, they are always searching for the best ingredients. It is then their focus to ensure they appreciate and respect all that go into each and every one of them. For example, they source chicken that is naturally grown and fed on a natural plant forward diet, no hormones (激素) or additives — that’s used in many ways throughout menus from a simple grilled chicken breast to bone soup. Nothing goes to waste. When they do have waste, even if minimal, they shift it from landfills to transform it into compost (堆肥) that’s then used across the Walt Disney World property. They also support Second Harvest, a local community food bank where healthy produce, prepared, but not served, meals eatable for human consumption are donated. Disney also works with pig farmers when they can’t distribute foods past the point of safety for human consumption. Besides, wildlife reservations love to get the meat because tigers and wild cats can still eat that. Their operations are “on a path to a sustainable zero waste kitchen of tomorrow” where chefs learn the full-life cycle of plants from seed to plate and gain a better understanding and appreciation for the product and their craft. Golden Oak at Disney has millions of bees that produce up to 300 pounds of honey per year, plus those bees help with cross pollination (授粉) of their gardens on a daily basis. They advocate a culture that helps develop not only the quality of food, but an appreciation for nature. 32. Where did Michael Gonsalves’ idea about cuisine come from? A. His mom’s suggestions. B. His dream of becoming a chef. C. His interest in delicious food. D. His labor experience as a child. 33. How are the ingredients dealt with in Golden Oak? A. They are grilled to eat. B. They are used without waste. C. They are divided into groups. D. They are selected by quality. 34. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3? A. Give examples about zero waste. B. Introduce the unique habit of wildlife. C. Stress the importance of natural food. D. Explain the operation mode of the food bank. 35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Disney World: New Cuisine Road B. Michael Gonsalves: Creative Chef C. Michael Gonsalves: Advocate of Food Diversity D. Disney World: Pioneer in Environmental Protection 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Apps and Your Privacy In today’s digital age, protecting your privacy while using apps is important. All apps collect data as you use them. Here are some good tips to keep your personal information safe. 36 For starters, download apps only from the App Store, not from random websites. 37 Before you accept an app’s terms and conditions, look at what information it’s planning to collect and think twice if it’s asking for too many permissions. For example, why would a gaming app need access to text messages? You may think it’s inconvenient, but it’s worth it. Also, most apps don’t need to know your location, but for those that do, you can choose to enable location services only when using the particular app, another smart privacy safeguard. 38 Don’t use your main e-mail address or social media account. This way, if there is a security breach (缺口), your exposure is contained to things connected to that address. And, of course, use a secure password. This means a long one (at least ten characters) with a mixture of letters, numbers, and special characters — and a unique password for each app. According to security experts, a good trick is to create a memorable “passphrase” by creating a series of random (任意的) words, and then replace numbers or special characters for some of the letters. 39 Go ahead and write them down — just store it in a secure location (not your wallet or phone case!). Finally, remember that privacy is an ongoing concern. Regularly review the apps you have installed and the permissions you’ve granted them. Stay informed about the latest privacy threats and solutions. 40 By taking these simple steps, you can enjoy the benefits of apps while protecting your personal data. A. It’s better to be safe than sorry. B. How will you ever remember them all? C. Why is it so important to protect our privacy? D. Moreover, create strong, unique passwords for each app. E. Because it can prevent bad software from infecting your device. F. Following these four steps will help ensure you’re not oversharing. G. Sign up an e-mail address just for things like app permissions and e-mail newsletters. 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内处的最佳选项。 Chloe Dalton, a British writer, once found a lost rabbit near her home.

She worked hard to provide for her children, doing a few part-time jobs to make ends meet. In spite of the challenges, Mary managed to give them a happy and stable childhood. One Saturday morning, Mary was at home with her children, preparing breakfast for them. Jack was beside her while James was playing alone in the bedroom next to the kitchen. It was a typical weekend, filled with laughter and warmth. Little did they know something unexpected was just around the corner. As Mary was busy with the food, a fire broke out in the kitchen. Panicked, Mary took hold of Jack and rushed towards the front door. They made it to safety only to find James remained stuck inside. Mary put Jack down and turned back to get James out, but in such a hurry and panic, she missed a step and fell on the ground. Her right ankle got sprained so seriously that she couldn’t stand up. Mary sat on the ground helplessly, her tears mixed with screams, “My kid is still in the house. Somebody, help me!” At that very moment, Simon, 52, a former army soldier in the same community as Mary, happened to pass her house and saw the terrible scene. He immediately ran across the yard to ask the crying mother where her kid exactly was. In a shaking voice, Mary responded, “In the bedroom next to the kitchen.” The fire spread quickly and the house was filled with thick smoke. Simon looked around and saw a blanket hanging beside a pool full of water in the middle of the yard. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Without hesitation, Simon took action. _________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Simon rushed out of the burning house with James in his arms. _____________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 湘西州民族中学2025-2026学年度第二学期期中考试试卷 高 一 英语 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 听力 1-5 BCCAC 6-10 ABCBA 11-15 AACBA 16-20 BABBC 21． C 22．A 23．B 24． C 25．D 26．B 27．A 28．D 29．A 30．C 31．C 32.

Dipping the blanket in the water pool and covering his head with it for necessary protection, he rushed into the house. Unable to see things clearly through the smoke and fire, Simon lowered himself to the ground, stretched his hands and felt his way forward until he reached the bedroom. Just then, a faint voice of a child caught his attention. Following the sound, he finally found James lying in a corner, frightened and helpless. He grabbed James, wrapped him in the blanket and made his way back towards the open door. Simon rushed out of the burning house with James in his arms. Seeing James carried to safety, Mary breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment, firefighters arrived at the scene and put out the fire. Then Simon, Mary and her children were all sent to a nearby hospital, where they received timely medical care. Simon’s heroic act saved James’ life.
