The air we breathe is often polluted by industrial emissions, and excessive deforestation is destroying wildlife habitats, pushing many species to the brink of extinction. To reverse this situation, we can take simple but effective daily actions. First, choose low - carbon commuting methods — walking, cycling or taking public transportation instead of private cars can significantly reduce carbon emissions. Second, develop the habit of recycling: separate waste, reuse water bottles and paper, and avoid single - use plastic products to minimize environmental burden. Dear friends, protecting nature is everyone’s responsibility. Let’s start now, from small things around us, and work together to build a greener home for all living beings! The Students’ Union 第二节（满分25分） 【答案】例文 That afternoon, I sat down at my desk with the notebook open beside me. I picked a problem from the textbook — one I had failed on last week’s quiz — and copied my mother’s method. I broke it into three steps, writing each one out. When I got stuck, I drew a small diagram. I checked my answer against the back of the book. It was wrong. I went back to step two, found my mistake, and redid the calculation. The second answer matched. I circled the problem in the notebook and wrote “check step 2 first” beside it. By dinner, I had solved six problems correctly. In the days that followed, I kept practicing until the unit test arrived. When the teacher handed back the test papers, I held my breath. I stared at the paper face down on my desk, afraid to turn it over. Around me, my classmates were already talking about their grades. Finally, I flipped it over. A passing score stared back at me — not an A, but a grade I had earned. My hands trembled as I held the paper. For months, I had believed I was simply not made for math. Now, looking at that test, I understood that growth does not come from natural talent, but from the courage to try again and again until the path becomes clear. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 宁夏育才中学2025-2026学年第二学期高一年级期中考试 英语试卷 （试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟） 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将信息填写在答题卡上，并将条形码贴在答题卡指定位置。 2．作答时，务必将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷及草稿纸上无效。 3．考试结束后，将答题卡交回，试卷保留。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。 1.

Letterboxd Letterbox is a social network designed for movie fans. You can use it to record the movies you watch, rate or review movies and make movie lists (such as your favorite movies of the year). You can also keep a list of movies you want to watch, and follow other users to see their movie ratings and reviews. It’s feature-rich and quite easy to use. Nowait Hate waiting in line for meals? Nowait is the app for you. Simply open the app, pick your restaurant, check the current waiting time and add yourself to the waiting list. You can then track your progress. This allows you to arrive at the restaurant just before your table is ready. While the app doesn’t work with all restaurants, it’s worth trying to see if any of your favorite restaurants support it. Feedly Feedly is a cross-platform news collector that can be used on web browsers (浏览器), tablets and smartphones. It is for anyone who wants their news to come to them. With Feedly, you can gather news from a wide range of sources, whether it’s a mainstream news site like Wired or a lesser-known blog. Instead of having to visit many sites individually, you can just use one app to get all your news and information. OneSecond Everyday OneSecond Everyday is a paid app. The idea behind it is you record a one-second video of your life every day and use that to create a four-minute video of your year. This is a really cool idea that “movie-izes” your life. The founder of the app, Cesar Kuriyama, said, “Being able to relive every single day has provided me with a treasured perspective on life. It holds me responsible for making each day notable.” 21. What can users do with Letterboxd? A. Produce creative short videos. B. Keep track of their favorite movies. C. Receive news from different sources. D. Check the waiting time at restaurants. 22. Which app is suitable for users who want to reflect on their life? A. Letterboxd. B. Feedly. C. Nowait. D. OneSecond Everyday. 23. Where is the passage probably from? A. An advertisement. B. A magazine. C. A website. D. An instruction book. B I was sitting at my desk when another graduate student in my lab approached me. “Can you help?” he begged. His experiment wasn’t working and he desperately needed help. I was a fifth year PhD student, the senior member of the lab at the time. As I had many times before, I gave in and said yes. I had a hard time saying no to such requests. I was new to the United States for graduate school. I found it difficult to make new friends and discover after-work activities I enjoyed. So I spent a large amount of my time in the lab, with my labmates serving as my primary source of social connection. I feared that if I turn them down, I’d lose their favor. After I graduated and started a job in industry, I continued to carry the same attitude with me, and it continued to cost me. It wasn’t until my wife gave birth to our first child that I realized how thin I had stretched myself and how misguided my priorities (重要的事) were. While she lay in a hospital bed in the early stages of labor (分娩阵痛), I sat nearby, busy in correcting a work report on my laptop for my colleague. Hours later, after hearing my daughter’s first cry and watching her tiny fingers grab tightly onto mine, it struck me that I should have been fully present during my daughter’s birth. From then on, I determined to spare more time for my family by reducing my work tasks and carefully considering each request for help. I still enjoyed cooperating with others, but I dealt with mutually (共同地) beneficial tasks first, rather than accepting everything that came my way. I noticed many benefits, and few disadvantages. My daily work schedule was not so crowded. I no longer worked overtime, and I was able to improve my work performance by focusing more on important tasks. I was also pleased to discover that “Sorry, I’d love to help but I have a deadline coming up” is an acceptable response to a request for assistance. Most colleagues seem to understand. It’s hard to say “no” to those you work with. But I’ve learned that sometimes that’s the best way to avoid too much workload and lead a freer and happier life. 24. Why was it hard for the author to refuse others’ requests in school? A. He was eager for good relations with others. B. He was interested in helping others. C. He was fond of doing experiments. D. He was the most experienced student. 25. What did the author realize after his daughter’s birth? A. He felt very happy after his daughter’s birth. B. His wife had sacrificed a lot for the family. C. He should have balanced work and life better. D. He should work harder due to the increased responsibilities. 26. What happened to the author after refusing others? A. He got along badly with his colleagues. B. He got a lot more vital tasks. C. He received assistance from his colleagues. D. He got less work and more joy. 27. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Enjoying family life. B. Giving priority to family. C. Giving and taking. D. Learning to say “no”. C When Kurt Benirschke started collecting skin samples (样品) from endangered animals in 1972, he didn’t have a firm plan on what to do with them. As a researcher at the University of California San Diego, he believed that one day these samples would be used to save these animals. A few years later, he moved his collection to the San Diego Zoo, and called it the Frozen Zoo. For a long time, it was the only project of its kind; however, in recent years, similar conservation efforts have spread globally, and tools that Benirschke didn’t have are now available. Today, the Frozen Zoo is the world’s largest animal cryobank (冷冻库), holding samples from over 10,500 individual animals from 1,220 species, in the hope that one day science can bring them back as a species. The Frozen Zoo’s advanced technology is the key to its success in saving species from extinction. By using cryopreservation techniques, the zoo can store cells and tissues from endangered animals. The stored genetic material can be used for research, breeding (繁殖) programs, and even cloning or genetic engineering to restore endangered species one day in the future. By protecting the genetic heritage of endangered animals, the Frozen Zoo provides hope for the survival of species that would otherwise be at risk of dying out, and the preservation of Earth’s precious biodiversity. It has inspired the establishment of similar cryobanks worldwide, expanding efforts to conserve endangered species. These cryobanks contribute to the global network of genetic resources, improving cooperation and knowledge exchange. By demonstrating the potential of technology in the preservation of biodiversity, the Frozen Zoo serves as a powerful tool in raising awareness and driving change. The Frozen Zoo is like a time capsule, preserving the genetic heritage of endangered species for future generations. It reminds us about the importance of conservation and offers a window into a world that could otherwise be lost forever. 28. What do we know about the Frozen Zoo? A. It is the world’s oldest and largest animal cryobank. B. It started with a detailed plan led by Kurt Benirschke. C. It is a project to explore the origin of animal species. D. It was established to protect animals in the San Diego Zoo. 29. How does the Frozen Zoo save species from extinction? A. By enlarging their natural habitats. B. By raising their survival rate with genetic technology. C. By keeping their genetic material for further research. D. By improving breeding techniques to increase their population. 30. Which of the following is Not the influence of the Frozen Zoo? A. It raises people’s awareness of wildlife protection. B. It has encouraged the establishment of more crybanks worldwide. C. It has restored some extinct animals by cloning. D. It promotes the global network of genetic resources. 31. What is the author’s attitude to the Frozen Zoo? A. Critical B. Supportive C. Neutral D. Indifferent D The 2026 Jiangsu Football City League, widely known as the Su Super League, kicked off on April 11. Building on the success of its last season, the tournament has rolled out a set of professional upgrades, with the goal of becoming a top model for city-based football competitions across China. One of the most meaningful changes this season is its sharp focus on youth development. In contrast to last year, the league has introduced clear rules requiring every team to start at least six under-22 players in each match. As a result, the overall average age has dropped significantly, making games faster and more dynamic. This carefully designed policy not only raises the quality of competition but also offers a valuable stage for local young talents to gain experience and progress. The league has also lifted its professional standards in both organization and technology. To ensure fairness, video assistant referee (VAR) technology is now used in all matches, a rare practice for grassroots football events in the country. Matches take place regularly every Saturday, and the tournament uses official match balls of World Cup quality. These improvements bring the event closer to international standards and create a better experience for both players and fans. Commercial and brand support has grown significantly as well. Global brands including Adidas have joined as official partners, providing professional uniforms and equipment. The expanding sponsorship (赞助) network clearly shows the league’s rising influence and helps strengthen its image as an influential and attractive sports brand. Beyond the field, the league connects football with local culture, tourism and consumption. It fuels economic vitality and community spirit across Jiangsu, while supporting the long-term building of youth football systems. With clear goals and well-organized operations, the Su Super League is setting an inspiring example for grassroots football development nationwide. 32. What is the new rule concerning starting players in the 2026 Su Super League? A. Teams must have six under-22 players in their team. B. Teams must reduce the average age of all players to under 22. C. Teams must start no fewer than six under-22 players in each match. D. Teams must let young players take part only in Saturday games. 33. What does the underlined word “dynamic” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. slow and old-fashioned B. full of energy and actions C. easy to follow and understand D. serious and highly standard 34. Why does the author mention Adidas in Paragraph 4? A. To show the league’s growing influence and commercial support B. To explain why the league uses World Cup-quality match balls C. To stress the importance of uniforms for young football players D. To prove grassroots leagues should work with international companies 35. What is the purpose of the author writing this passage? A. To give some tips on how to improve the grassroots football events in China B. To introduce some upgrades of Su Super League in 2026 and its positive influence C. To highlight the importance of grassroots football development in China D. To explain some professional standards in international football tournaments 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Ever feel like there’s never enough time these days? Chased by deadlines and bombarded with (狂轰滥炸) social media content, we feel that each day is full. 36 The idea of “time poverty” is not new. First introduced in 1977, it has attracted much attention over the decades, according to Forbes. Cassie Holmes, a US social psychologist, tracked the time data of tens of thousands of people and found that when people have less than two hours of free time each day, their life satisfaction drops.   37   We live in a world that values productivity. People are expected to be efficient, take on different roles and deal with many tasks. This can lead to a lack of personal time, hurting the individual’s well-being. 38 A University of Chicago study found that over the past decade, people’s participation in community activities had dropped by 58 percent, and the chance of neighbors knowing each other had fallen from 75 percent in the 1980s to only 22 percent in 2022. 39 Holmes pointed out that when people have over five hours of free time a day, they may start to feel a loss of purpose and achievement. Those who have two to five hours of free time each day report the highest levels of happiness and satisfaction. Time is a resource that is equally shared among all people. The key lies not in how much time we have, but in how we use it. 40 Exercising or volunteering can help you make the most of your time and give you a sense of achievement. A. Make a strict schedule for everyday activities. B. It can also cause a crisis in social relationships. C. You should reduce workload and social arrangements. D. They may even start to experience feelings such as anxiety and burnout. E. However, when we stop to think about our day, we might feel a bit empty. F. Despite these facts, more free time does not necessarily mean greater happiness. G. If you ever feel short on time, try making small changes to find some “me time”. 第三部分 语言运用（共二节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） When I was 24, I moved into a flat and the couple next door were loud all the time.

The second time, I blamed the teacher for making the questions too hard. By the third time, I ran out of excuses. Math had always been my weakest subject, but during my first year of high school, it became my nightmare. While my classmates raised their hands with confident answers, I sat silently at my desk, praying the teacher wouldn’t call my name. Each failed test made me more certain that I was simply “not a math person.” I stopped trying, believing that effort would make no difference. My parents grew worried. They hired a tutor, bought workbooks, and spent hours trying to help me. But every session ended the same way — with me pushing aside the papers and saying, “I just can’t do it.” One Saturday morning, my mother came into my room and sat on the edge of my bed. She held a small paper bag in her hands. “I have something for you,” she said quietly. I opened the bag and pulled out a worn notebook. Inside, I found pages and pages of math problems, each step written out carefully. Some problems had diagrams drawn in the margins (页边空白). Others had small notes like “remember to change the sign” or “check step 3 first.” The handwriting was shaky, the calculations sometimes messy, but the method was clear. It took me a moment to recognize the handwriting. It was my mother’s. “I failed every math test in ninth grade,” she said. “My teacher told me I should drop the class. I almost believed I wasn’t smart enough. Then I started doing things differently. Instead of staring at the whole problem, I broke it into small steps. I made a list of every mistake I made and studied it before each test. If a concept didn’t make sense, I drew pictures until it did. It was slow work, but by the end of the year, I passed.” She looked at me. “You are not ‘not a math person.’ You just haven’t found your way yet.” 写作要求： 1．续写词数应为150词左右； 2．可适当增加细节，使行文连贯； That afternoon, I sat down at my desk with the notebook open beside me. ______________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ When the teacher handed back the test papers, I held my breath. ____________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
