To feed his imagination, he loved reading stories where explorers 26 hidden secrets or heroes rescued people from great danger. To him, the real world felt dull and boring. Stories, however, were the 27 of his life. Without them, the world would be black and grey. They brought him hope and joy. At the age of 28, Arjun decided to start writing. The transition from reader to writer was challenging. He often spent hours 28 a blank screen, struggling to find the right words. However, his passion 29 him going. Gradually, his work 30 an audience. While some readers offered praise and others 31 him, Arjun remained calm. For him, the most important thing was the pure joy of writing. For nearly twenty years, writing was his life. But at 45, everything changed. A terrible car accident damaged his spine (脊柱), 32 him unable to use his hands as he once did. Suddenly, his greatest source of happiness was 33 . As months passed, Arjun sank into deep sadness, feeling like a character whose story had reached a tragic ending. However, one morning, a new thought 34 him: “What if this accident isn’t the end of my book, but a difficult middle 35 ? What if I am still the hero?” Suddenly, this new idea brought hope back into his life. Instead of 36 , he decided to fight for his “happy ending”. The recovery was painful. Since he could no longer 37 in the usual way, he was afraid he would never be able to tell his stories. So, he had to learn to use speech-to-text technology to “write” by speaking. At first, the process was difficult because the computer often misunderstood his words, and his speech was 38 by his condition. Though his movements were severely 39 , he refused to stay silent and practised for hours every day, slowly 40 the new tools. Eventually, he found his 41 again and let his stories be heard once more through his continued writing. Arjun’s journey was not just about physical recovery, but also about rebuilding his 42 . He realises a truth: life is the greatest story, and each of us serves as both the hero and the author. He learns that a “plot twist” or a serious difficulty does not have to mean the 43 but rather the beginning of a completely new page. By facing his dark days with 44 , Arjun proves that even when the ink seems to have 45 , we can always find a way to keep writing our future. 26. A. discovered B. invented C. stole D. created 27.

B Six months earlier, as I was warming up for a workout, the trainer at my gym announced that she was signing up for the Mud Girl Run — a 5-kilometre obstacle (障碍) race for women that raises money for breast cancer research. Then she asked if anyone wanted to join her team. My immediate reaction was to lower my head and pretend I had heard nothing. It didn’t work. Seeing me keep my head down, she looked straight at me and said, “Didn’t you just tell me you were writing a book about stepping out of your comfort zone and saying yes to new opportunities?” She had a point. I couldn’t say no, so I decided to take part in the Mud Girl Run. In the weeks that followed, I watched videos of the race to prepare myself for what lay ahead. Seventeen obstacles. All of them in mud. Crawling, climbing, slipping, balancing — every challenge looked messier than the last. Thankfully, participants who couldn’t complete an obstacle were allowed to take an easier route around it. Knowing that there was an escape route put me a little more at ease. When race day finally arrived, I woke up early, still nervous but also excited. However, the moment I arrived at the venue, something changed. The air was filled with music, laughter, and announcements about the start times. Women around me wore bright colours, costumes, and funny decorations, as if getting muddy was part of the fun. Their excitement spread to me, and little by little, my nervousness turned into excitement. As the race began, I made a promise to myself: I would at least try every obstacle because I did not want to have any regrets when it was over. Besides, I told myself this was probably something I would only do once. But I was completely wrong to think that was the end of it. Not only did I conquer every obstacle, but I was actually smiling and having fun while doing it, even though I was a complete muddy mess. I was soaked (湿透), exhausted, and covered from head to toe in mud — yet I enjoyed every minute of it. By the end of the race, I wasn’t just proud that I had finished — I was already searching for other events in my area. After all, my shoes were already dirty. 51. What was the author’s first reaction to the trainer’s invitation? A. She tried to avoid being noticed. B. She expressed her lack of interest. C. She immediately signed up for the race. D. She asked for more details about the run. 52. Why did the author eventually agree to take part in the Mud Girl Run? A. She wanted to improve physical strength. B. She was encouraged to follow her own words. C. She wanted to join the other members of her gym. D. She was motivated by the charity aspect of the race. 53. What brought the author some comfort during her preparation for the race? A. Climbing and crawling with other gym members. B. Knowing that obstacles could be skipped. C. The advice from the event organizers. D. The lively atmosphere at the venue. 54. What was the author’s attitude after finishing the race? A. She believed she had pushed herself too hard. B. She would never try such an event again. C. She became eager to join more of them. D. She regretted signing up for the race. 55. What message does the author most likely want to convey? A. Stepping out of your comfort zone takes physical training. B. It is best to avoid uncomfortable situations. C. New challenges can bring unexpected joy D. A messy environment ruins the fun. C One afternoon in January 2024, off the island of Dominica in the Atlantic Ocean, a sperm whale (抹香鲸) named Pinchy and I drifted calmly at the surface of the water, examining each other. After several minutes, Pinchy took a long breath, pointed her head downward and slowly began to dive into the ocean. I wondered what Pinchy might tell me if I could understand what she was saying. My team and I have been able to recognise that sperm whales have their own alphabet. At a time when living in a technology-fuelled civilization may make us humans feel more distant from the natural world, this discovery helps me feel more connected to it. Paradoxically (矛盾地；相反地), that’s been made possible thanks to the use of technology itself, especially AI. What I’ve come to know is that technology and nature do not exist in a zero-sum universe where the rise of one side is the downfall of the other. Instead, these tools can give humans an opportunity to feel more connected to the plants and animals that surround us. In a pilot study, the AI system we trained on the data was able to predict the type of whale call, the whale’s vocal (发声的) group, and even the individual whale with over 90 per cent accuracy. We then realised that it might be possible to use AI to analyse much larger bodies of whale vocal data, identify patterns within them, and eventually interpret aspects of what whales communicate to one another. This led to the creation of Project CETI (Cetacean Translation Initiative), a multidisciplinary team of more than 50 marine biologists, AI experts, roboticists, linguists, and researchers from related fields working to listen to and decode (解码) the communication of sperm whales. Altogether, these findings are leading us to an extraordinary conclusion: Whales may possess a communication system more complicated than our own, one that possibly predates (先于…建成) human language by tens of millions of years. Many conservationists see technology as a force of extraction and destruction, while many technologists see nature as something to be modelled or optimised. I believe these worlds are not at odds, and when used together carefully, technology holds the potential to deepen humans’ connection to nature. To me, this is the real potential promise of AI: not to make us faster or more efficient, but to make us wiser. 56. Why does the author describe the meeting with Pinchy? A. To report a fieldwork routine. B. To compare two living habits. C. To praise whales’ calm behavior. D. To introduce the topic of the study. 57. The author mentions “zero-sum universe” in Paragraph 3 to ______ A. warn nature will die out B. prove it damages nature C. argue we need modern life D. show they can exist together 58. What directly led to the start of Project CETI? A. The author’s meeting with Pinchy in the ocean. B. Linguists’ demand for research from different fields. C. AI’s high accuracy in analyzing sperm whale vocal data. D. The discovery that whale language is older than human language. 59. What do the findings suggest about whale communication? A. It may be complex and older. B. It may rely on human models. C. It may vary across vocal groups. D. It may help explain natural disasters. 60. What is the best title for the passage? A. Pinchy and Her Ocean Home B. The Rise of Modern Marine Biology C. Project CETI: A Close Look at Pinchy D. AI: A Bridge to Decode Whale Language 河北区2025~2026学年度第二学期期中高一年级质量检测 英 语 第II卷 注意事项： 1．用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2．本卷共6小题，共25分。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分25分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 From Jan 16 to 23, a group of high school students worked with a youth media platform to create a short English play called The Taste of Tariffs (关税). Through the project, they not only explored a global issue, but also learned an important lesson about teamwork. The idea came from a newspaper article about tariffs. The students found the topic fresh and meaningful, and during a study trip they continued discussing it on a high-speed train. Their excitement was so great that they even held auditions in the aisle. By the time they arrived, the team had already been formed. However, as rehearsals began, conflict soon arose (发生). Two students, who were responsible for writing the script (剧本), disagreed strongly about how the story should be told. One wanted the play to focus on facts and logic so that it would sound serious and convincing. The other believed that it should include more emotion and dramatic scenes to attract the audience. Neither would give in. Their argument became so heated that rehearsal had to stop, and the rest of the team sat in silence. The disagreement affected everyone. Some students began to worry that the play would fail. Others grew impatient because time was tight. Seeing the tension, the team leader suggested that they stop arguing and listen to each other’s ideas one by one. After a long discussion, they finally realised that a good play needed both clear ideas and strong storytelling. So they rewrote part of the script together, keeping the important facts while adding more vivid dialogue and action. Another problem arose on the filming day. Two actors were found unsuitable for their original roles. One of them felt unhappy when asked to change parts because he had practised for days. But after the others explained the situation, he accepted the decision for the good of the team. Everyone then worked quickly to adjust the lines and filming plan. In the end, the play was completed successfully. A teacher who watched the process said she was most impressed not by the final performance, but by the way the students dealt with conflict. For them, the project proved that teamwork does not mean avoiding disagreement. It means staying calm, listening carefully, and moving forward together. 61. What inspired the students to create the play? (no more than 5 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 62. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean? (1 word) ______________________________________________________________________________ 63. How did the disagreement affect the team’s work?

I strongly suggest we adapt A Dialogue between Confucius and His Four Students, which we learned in our Chinese class at the beginning of this semester. The reasons are as follows. First and foremost, the text is easy to understand because we are already familiar with it. Through the dialogue between Confucius and his four students, we can gain insight into their educational ideas and understand the true meaning of education in the minds of ancient sages. Its educational value is clear and impressive. Secondly, with vivid plots and rich characters, this story perfectly fits our goal of telling Chinese stories in English. Performing it can greatly improve our English skills and help us spread traditional Chinese culture. Besides, in the course of adapting, rehearsing and performing, our abilities in cooperation, communication and acting to the public will be fully developed, which is highly beneficial to our personal growth. Above are my suggestions. Simple as my words are, I hope we can hear more creative ideas from all of you. 大家好， 值此“从课本到舞台”活动到来之际，在此抛砖引玉，供各位参考。我强烈推荐将《子路、曾皙、冉有、公西华侍坐》改编成剧本，这篇文章我们开学的时候在语文课上学过。我推荐的理由如下： 首先，这篇课文容易理解，因为我们已经学过了。通过孔子和他四个学生的对话，我们可以洞察到他们的教育理念，并且了解古代先贤认为的教育本质，其教育价值显而易见，并且感染力强。 第二，这个故事情节生动，角色丰富，完美地满足了我们用英语“讲好中国故事”的目标。演出的过程中，我们的英语技能会得到提升，同时也能更好地传播中华传统文化。此外，在改编、排练和演出的过程中，我们的合作、交流和公开演出能力会得到充分锻炼，对于我们的个人成长也很有帮助。 以上就是我的建议了。我人微言轻，还希望听到各位的想法。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
