B Christmas time with kids is filled with warm traditions: Listening to Christmas music while decorating the tree, going to look at Christmas lights with hot chocolate in hand, and taking the kids to visit Santa Claus. Well, delete that last one. At least for my family. Parents think about how fun it will be at first to take their kids to see Santa, or tell them gifts are on their way from Santa, but this comes with a series of annoying questions about Mr. Claus like how he makes it to all the houses in one night, as well as the broken trust after revealing the truth. I didn’t want that. You may think that our Christmases were rigid, stuffy, and without any warmth or magic. I don’t think so. Part of that is due to what I taught my kids about Christmas. Instead of telling them Santa is real, I told them it most likely has its origins in St. Nicholas, a man who was kind and generous to children in need. Netflix’s 2021 movie “A Boy Called Christmas” is a useful tool for helping kids connect Christmas myths and traditions with reality while keeping the spirit of generosity alive. The month of December is filled with movie and game nights, plays and concerts. These family traditions have added flavor to my kids’ entire childhood. Hopefully, they know now that it’s the time with family, doing special things together, that creates the magic and that my love for them goes well beyond just one day — and that magic, wonder and awe can happen any time with family, especially if we remain generous and grateful. My kids are older now, and they’re glad they didn’t believe the myth of Santa. It was one fewer bad memory for them, one fewer blow to their innocent childhood. 4．What is special for the author’s family’s Christmas time? A．Appreciating Christmas lights. B．skipping visiting Santa Claus. C．Unlocking secrets of Santa Claus. D．Helping Santa Claus deliver gifts. 5．What does the author want to convey to her kids in paragraph3? A．Generosity comes from reality. B．Warmth counts to Christmas. C．St. Nicholas is an unsung hero. D．Santa myth will break kids’ trust. 6．What does the author intend to show by mentioning “the magic of Christmas”? A．To prove that the Santa myth is not necessary for Christmas. B．To explain why family entertainments are popular in December. C．To show that Christmas is the most magical festival for families. D．To stress that shared family time is the core of Christmas’ charm. 7．Which of the following can best describe the author? A．Rigid but caring. B．Generous and devoted. C．Distant but unconventional. D．Thoughtful and insightful. C When danger approaches, animals seem to follow the ancient proverb: “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Researchers have found subtle ways that animals communicate with other species in cooperative defense. A study in Nature Ecology & Evolution reported that over 20 bird species across four continents make nearly identical high-pitched (高音调的) “whining” calls to warn others of birds like cuckoos nearby. Cuckoos are brood parasites — they lay eggs in other birds’ nests, often pushing out the hosts’ own eggs, to trick host birds into raising their chicks. According to co-lead author James Kennerley, this call works as the word for “cuckoo” and appears to be understood across species, offering clues about how language may have originated. Birds producing this alarm call often live in regions with high numbers of brood parasites that target multiple host species. Hearing the call, potential hosts react aggressively to drive the invaders away. To investigate further, Will Feeney’s team played recordings of such alarm calls — originally from birds on other continents — to potential host birds in Australia and China. They found that the hosts responded just as quickly to foreign alarm calls as to their own. “This indicates that sound helps communication between species, not only within one species,” explains Feeney. He suggests that while many bird species may respond to certain alarm sounds, those in parasite-rich areas have adapted the call to carry clear threat information. Back in 1871, Charles Darwin suggested that spoken language might have evolved from the imitation and modification of instinctive (本能的) sounds — for example, a scream in response to pain. Feeney notes, “Birds changing their built-in calls for a new use could be an early stage toward language, something once thought uniquely human. ” 8．How can animals of different species cooperate in defense? A．By communicating freely. B．By predicting danger in advance. C．By following the old routine. D．By making the same sound as signal. 9．Why do birds make “whining” calls to warn others of cuckoos? A．Because cuckoos are good at playing tricks. B．Because cuckoos steal eggs from hosts’ nests. C．Because cuckoos have a wide range of species. D．Because cuckoos make hosts care for their young. 10．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A．Birds universally recognize alarm calls. B．Birds ignore recordings of alarm calls. C．Birds’ alarm calls function within species. D．Brood parasites target certain host species. 11．Why does the author mention Darwin in paragraph 5? A．To show language is still evolving. B．To prove human language is unique. C．To link bird calls with language origin. D．To question the reliability of the study. D Have you ever noticed people around you who always seem to be “creating drama”? John always turns minor workplace disagreements into intense conflicts, describing them as if they were plot twists in a horror movie. Emily on social media carefully selects every photo to present her life as a series of idealized moments. Or consider Mark, who often expects special treatment in group settings and reacts with visible disappointment when he isn’t given priority. In doing so, they often struggle to genuinely understand or empathize (产生共鸣) with the experiences of those around them. Such behavior is characteristic of what is commonly referred to as “main character syndrome (综合征)”. What causes this syndrome? Cultural and media influences, such as movies, books and TV shows centered on a single character, shape people’s perception of their own life roles. Social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook and TikTok further facilitate this tendency by rewarding attention-seeking behaviors. Additionally, personalities like narcissistic (自恋的) tendencies or emotional struggles such as insecurity and low self-esteem, as well as self-focused family upbringing, can increase the likelihood of developing such a mindset. This mindset is not entirely negative, as regarding oneself as life’s leading role can develop a strong sense of purpose and motivation, encouraging individuals to pursue their goals with greater confidence and determination. However, its potential disadvantages often outweigh these benefits: It causes more than enough self-centeredness, weakens interpersonal empathy, and ruins genuine relationships by reducing others to mere “supporting roles” rather than equals in interactions. Since main character syndrome is not a formally recognized psychological disorder, there is no targeted medical treatment for it. Nevertheless, practical approaches can effectively address its basic issues: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps individuals adjust self-centered behaviors and address interpersonal relationships; empathy training enhances the ability to understand and appreciate others’ feelings; mindfulness practices promote a more grounded and less self-focused perspective; and social skills workshops develop collaborative and empathetic interpersonal relationships. Together, these practices cultivate balanced self-awareness and fuel meaningful personal growth. 12．How does the author illustrate the term “main character syndrome”? A．By giving examples. B．By defining a concept. C．By quoting an expert. D．By providing statistics. 13．Who is most likely to have the main character syndrome? A．Students absorbed in social media. B．Teenagers modelling roles in the movies. C．People struggling with physical disabilities. D．Children prioritized by overprotective parents. 14．What is the author’s attitude toward the main character syndrome? A．Unclear. B．Critical. C．Favorable. D．Optimistic. 15．What can be a suitable title for the passage? A．Star of Your Own Story? B．To Focus on Yourself or Others? C．Acting in the Way You Wish? D．Right to Be the Main Character? 第二节 阅读填空（每小题2.5分，共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，选项中有两项为多余选项。 I used to wake up and check my phone. Before my feet hit the floor, I was already deep in the day’s chaos: headlines, comments, breaking news alerts. Doomscrolling (刷屏成瘾) had become my morning routine.         16        . I started each day tense and anxious. So I gave myself a quiet dare: no phone in the morning, for five straight weekdays. Naturally, breaking the habit wasn’t easy. The first morning, I reached for my phone automatically. I stopped myself and picked up a book instead. It felt odd, like trying to enjoy coffee without caffeine (咖啡因). But after a few pages, I found myself actually relaxed — not the emptiness of a scroll, but something steadier.         17        . That had never happened before. Encouraged by the quiet start, I explored other ways. The next day I tried a cold shower. I wanted something that would force me fully awake. The shock factor was incredibly effective.         18        . On Wednesday, I went for a run. I hated every step at first. But I came back awake, warm and proud. That feeling powered me through the day.         19        . On Thursday, I journaled. No audience, just thoughts on paper. It felt honest, if not particularly exciting. On Friday, I reread an old letter and let the memories surface. It was quiet, uneventful and grounding. By the end of the week, the urge to check my phone had weakened.         20        . Those phone-free mornings proved a quieter start was possible: no noise or half-truths. It’s not about perfection, but freedom from the scroll and the misinformation it feeds into our minds. A．But lately, I noticed the weight it carried. B．This left my mind surprisingly clear afterward. C．Some mornings were more reflective than active. D．It made me realize my dependence on my phone. E．I even finished a chapter before checking the time. F．That meant I stopped grabbing my phone on waking. G．It revealed the link between my phone use and daily anxiety. 第II部分 语言运用（满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（每小题1分，共15分） 阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A month ago today I stood there: 90 degrees south, the top of the bottom of the world. Together with two friends Richard and Kevin, I had just broken the world speed record for a(n)         21         to the South Pole. We         22         five days off the previous best time. Meanwhile, I became the first person in history to         23         the entire 650-mile journey, solely on feet, without skis. Imagine         24         a sled with 170 pounds of gear for survival on this Antarctic trek. We           25         a massive headwind at -40℃ every single day. And some of the cracks in the ice have a thin footbridge underneath that could         26         at a moment’s notice, taking our sled, us, into the abyss (深渊). About two years ago, I met an extraordinary man, Peter Thum, whose dedication         27         me to come up with this expedition: a run to the South Pole where, with a(n)         28         website, I will be able to bring young people globally on         29         the expedition with me. So we would be blogging to these students that were tracking us as well.         30        , they would ask us questions. The website worked brilliantly as a two-way street of         31        . Amazingly, we arrived at the South Pole. We looked at each other with looks of         32         at what we had just completed, which set me         33        , “What do I take from this journey?” Six years before that I had been a pack-a-day smoker, living         34        . Now, within every fiber of my belief standing here, I know from this journey that we can make the impossible possible and we are         35         of doing anything we set our minds to. 21．A．holiday B．expedition C．visit D．outing 22．A．cut B．spent C．kept D．extended 23．A．describe B．make C．create D．start 24．A．providing B．driving C．pushing D．dragging 25．A．explored B．observed C．braved D．measured 26．A．melt away B．give way C．turn down D．hold back 27．A．forced B．chose C．expected D．inspired 28．A．interactive B．unusual C．familiar D．temporary 29．A．blogging B．dancing C．skiing D．acting 30．A．In time B．In common C．In turn D．In particular 31．A．appearance B．transportation C．performance D．communication 32．A．disbelief B．sadness C．Confusion D．tiredness 33．A．regretting B．reflecting C．complaining D．laughing 34．A．healthily B．wonderfully C．inactively D．secretly 35．A．relieved B．ashamed C．capable D．Unaware 第二节 语法填空（每小题1.5分，共15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The English word “garden” gives an entirely wrong idea of the Chinese yuan, for “garden” suggests a lawn and an infinite variety of flowers, altogether too prim (呆板的) and tidy         36        (suit) Chinese taste. The Chinese yuan suggests first of all a wild landscape, perhaps better arranged and more         37        (artistic) planned than nature, but still a bit of nature itself, with trees, creeks, and flowers.         38        (dot) in this natural landscape are the human structures like pavilions and long winding corridors, so perfectly belonging to the scenery as to become         39        whole with it. The Chinese garden         40        (feature) studied disorderliness. There are no even-cut bushes or symmetric (对称的) rows lining avenues as if in battle formation. No Chinese house allows an outsider to look through the iron gate, for that would be against the principle of concealment (隐蔽).         41        (face) the gate, we see a small courtyard giving no idea of the expansiveness of space inside, and leading one step by step into         42        (new) views, in a continual series of surprises and astonishments.         43        wooden framework bearing most of the weight of the house, windows, doors and walls are not restricted to certain locations. The essential idea of interior decoration is the beauty of         44        (simple). Home designs are not something fancy we buy from a first-class firm.         45        distinguishes a home from a public building is the personal touch that we give it. It is only when the spirit of leisure and loving care exists that living at home can become an art and a pleasure. 第III部分 基础知识考察（满分27分） 请用教材选择性必须三Unit 4, Unit 5，选择性必修四Unit 1所学词汇及短语填空。 第一节 单词填空（每小题1分，共15分） 46-50请根据括号中的中文提示，填入单词的适当形式。 46．All the passengers cheered as they went                  (the ship for their holiday trip. 47．The girls watched, with little                  (取笑) smiles on her face. 48．I sensed his unwillingness to do the work from what he                  (说，出声). 49．The inhabitants in this village have to walk a mile to                  (去拿来) water. 50．The time machine did not travel to a specific date; instead, it landed                  (随机地) at different points in history, making every trip a complete surprise. 51-55请根据括号中的单词，填入单词的适当形式。 51．She cried                  when she heard the bad news.

I said good morning to our headmaster, Mr. Jordan, at the school entrance. With a genuine smile that reached his eyes, he greeted me by name, inquiring about my weekend and showing a sincere interest in my day ahead. That was really comforting! It was the day of the poetry festival. and I was excited. At my old school, I had won the poetry award every year. I’m horrible at sports, and too shy to be popular—but І do write good poetry, although I never told anyone here about it yet. The poem I wrote for the Edison Festival was about my dad. I wished I would surprise my classmates and Mrs. Baker, my English teacher. When Mrs. Baker called on me, I was so nervous that I had to swallow about ten times before I could speak. But once I started, I didn’t even bother to look at my paper. I’d spent so much time perfecting the rhymes that I knew the poem by heart. I had just started the third line when I noticed Mrs. Baker’s expression change. She looked at me with a mixture of appreciation and disbelief. I stopped in the middle of a word and waited for her to say something. “Linda, you are supposed to be reading a poem you made up yourself, not reciting something you learned. That is called plagiarism (剽窃) !” “Oh, but it’s an original one. I did make it up, it’s about my dad.” I heard a “Yeah, right!” from somewhere behind me, and someone else laughed. I opened my mouth to explain, but no words came out. “Perhaps you could step out and gather your thoughts, and when you feel ready, we can discuss this with a clear mind,” said Mrs. Baker. I’d been standing outside for 5 minutes when Mr. Jordan came over to ask me what happened. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Almost in tears, I poured out the whole story. ______________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Inspired by his words, I gathered my courage and turned back to the classroom. ___________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2026年广州市第六中学高二下学期期中考试英语参考答案 第I部分 阅读（满分50分） 第一节 阅读理解（每小题2.5分，共37.5分） （A）1-3 CDB （B）4-7 BADC （C）8-11 CDAC （D）12-15 ADBA 第二节 阅读填空（每小题2.5分，共12.5分） 16-20 AEBCF 第II部分 语言运用（满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（每小题1分，共15分） 21-25 BABDC 26-30 BDAAC 31-35 DABAC 第二节 语法填空（每小题1.5分，共15分） 36. to suit 37. artistically 38.

In response to your question, I’d like to briefly introduce the poem “Bamboo in the Rock”. The poem mainly depicts bamboo rooted in broken rocks, clinging firmly to the mountains and standing upright despite fierce winds. Even in harsh conditions, it remains strong and unbending, presenting a vivid image of resilience. Through this, not only does the poet describe bamboo’s toughness but he also expresses his pursuit of integrity and perseverance. Moreover, the poem creates a clear picture while using simple techniques like personification and symbolism to deepen its meaning. I hope that this explanation will help you gain a better understanding of the poem for your recitation. Looking forward to your good news! Yours, Li Hua 第二节 读后续写（满分25分） Possible version: Almost in tears, I poured out the whole story. Taking a deep breath to calm myself a bit, I explained how much I loved poetry and how many awards I had won at my previous school. I also added that with my passion for poetry and unshakable self-belief , I had never even considered plagiarizing. Mr. Jordan listened attentively , nodding occasionally. When I finished, he smiled gently and comforted me that it was okay to feel sad. “Sharing your thoughts and creativity is a brave thing to do, Linda,” he said in a reassuring voice, “Even if it didn’t go as planned, your courage is admirable. You must have written a perfect poem, which surprised your classmates and the teacher but led to some misunderstanding. Trust in your own gift in writing poems and let your works speak for itself.” His words of encouragement comforted me, giving me a sense of affirmation I desperately needed in that moment of doubt and frustration. Inspired by his words, I gathered my courage and turned back to the classroom. Hardly had I entered when Mrs. Baker and all the classmates fixed their eyes on me. With a clear mind , I explained with firm resolve, “The poem is my own creation. When writing it, not only did I employ rhymes, rhythms and rhetorical devices to make it artistic, but I also conveyed my heartfelt love and care for my dad. I insist that I should recite it again.” This time, I recited the poem slowly and clearly, letting the emotions behind each word flow naturally. The instant I finished, there was a second of silence before the whole class exploded into applause, genuine and warm. “Sorry for the misunderstanding, and thank you for sharing such a touching piece,” Mrs. Baker said sincerely. Recognized for my gift of writing poems, I felt a sense of pride and strengthened my resolve to always let my ability speak for myself. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
