I made a handbag, using an old pair of jeans, which turned out both practical and cute! I cut and sewed the fabric by hand, adding colorful patches and buttons for decoration. Through this activity, I realized that waste can be turned into something useful and beautiful with a little creativity. It also made me more aware of the importance of reusing materials and protecting the environment. The event taught me how small actions can contribute to a greener world. Yours, Li Hua 47．范文 Suddenly, the mother and the boy were caught in a rapid current. The mother, obviously frightened, found her boy floating away from her and struggling for breath. Before she could let out a cry, Bade swam quickly to the boy, cutting through the churning water with powerful strokes. He reached the child just as he was about to go under, grabbing him firmly and pulling him to safety. Holding the boy tightly in his arms, Bade then guided the mother through the rapid water, his voice calm but urgent as he directed her toward his kayak. After what seemed like centuries, the three finally reached the kayak and then back to land, exhausted but alive. Once on land, Bade helped the pair into the ambulance called to the scene. The mother, still trembling, held her son and whispered words of gratitude to Bade through her tears. The boy, though pale and shaken, managed a small smile as the doctors checked him over. Bade stood back, catching his breath, his clothes dripping. The policeman clapped him on the shoulder, praising his quick thinking and bravery. As the ambulance sped into the distance, Bade felt a mix of relief and exhaustion, knowing he had made a difference in those critical moments. 答案第4页，共7页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 石嘴山市第一中学2025-2026学年第二学期高一年级期中考试 英语试题 听力（满分 30 分） 阅读（共两节，满分 50 分） 第一节（共 15 小题;每小题 2. 5 分，满分 37. 5 分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Discover Shuiyun Ancient Town — A Traveler’s Guide Welcome to Shuiyun, a 600-year-old town known for its well-preserved courtyards and traditional bamboo craft.

I spent most of my days there, learning new things and having fun with my friends. But one experience really stood out and has stayed with me. One sunny morning in my first year of high school, my English teacher came into the classroom with a big smile. She told us that we would be putting on a musical at the end of the year. I had always loved singing and dancing, but I had never really tried it before. This was a chance I decided to catch. During the practices, I was filled with both excitement and nervousness. Sometimes I would forget my words and feel really worried, my heart beating wildly in my chest. But when we performed well, I felt so proud and happy, like we had achieved something truly special. Through all these ups and downs, my classmates and I became really close. We laughed together, encouraged each other, and shared our fears and hopes. We became a team, working together towards a common goal. On the night of the musical, I stood behind the curtains waiting for my turn. I couldn’t believe how far we had come. We had worked so hard and now we were ready to show everyone what we could do. Then the curtains opened and we started performing in front of a full audience. When we finished, thunderous applause filled the hall. I felt a sense of pride that I had never felt before. This experience taught me a lot. I learned how important it is to work together as a team and to keep trying even when things are hard. I also learned that it’s good to try new things and step out of my comfort zone. Looking back, I’m really thankful for that opportunity and all the lessons it taught me. It was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. So, I encourage everyone to step into the unknown and take advantage of the opportunities that come your way. You never know what amazing memories and lessons they might bring. 4．How did the author feel about the musical at first? A．Eager. B．Worried. C．Nervous. D．Hesitant. 5．What do we know about the author during the practices? A．He forgot the lines due to his bad memory. B．He experienced a mix of feelings. C．He went through the process smoothly. D．He became nervous for lack of preparation. 6．What can we infer from the fourth paragraph? A．The author played the leading role. B．The classmates didn’t get along well.

D．To leave nice memories. C The industrial solvent (溶剂) trichloroethylene (TCE) was once an ingredient in the process of removing caffeine from coffee. However, it was banned by the food industry in the 1970s. Despite that, it is still a necessary element in some household products, such as cleaning wipes, tool cleaners, paint removers, carpet cleaners and spot removers. In the United Kingdom, dry cleaners stopped using it in the mid-1950s, but according to Public Health England, it still plays a necessary part in metal cleaning. A global study in 2021 found TCE increased the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease, a progressive disorder that affects the nervous system and the parts of the body controlled by the nerves. It is said that the harmful chemical was fueling rising numbers of cases of Parkinson’s disease across the world. About one million people in the US currently suffer from the condition. Doctors diagnose (诊断) 60,000 Americans each year. Brian Grant, who played for 12 years in the NBA, was diagnosed at the age of 36. The study authors say he was exposed to TCE when he was just three years old. He lived with his father, a US Marine at Camp Lejeune where TCE has been found polluting the military base. Amy Lindberg was similarly exposed there while serving as a US Navy captain. She was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease 40 years later. The study also details others whose condition was the result of living close to a polluted site or working with the chemical directly. The US alone is home to thousands of polluted sites. Researchers say the country needs to speed up cleaning and controlling efforts. They argue that TCE should be further limited in use and be replaced by other chemicals as soon as possible. Besides, TCE levels in groundwater, drinking water, soil, and outdoor and indoor air require closer monitoring, and the information needs to be shared with those who live and work near polluted sites. 8．What makes TCE a necessary element in household products? A．Its environment-friendly property. B．Its easy availability in daily life. C．Its outstanding cleaning ability. D．Its power of ensuring product safety. 9．What did the global study in 2021 show? A．The young tended to develop Parkinson’s disease. B．TCE and Parkinson’s disease were closely related. C．Parkinson’s disease was caused by complex factors. D．Parkinson’s disease proved more deadly than before. 10．What can be known about Brian Grant and Amy Lindberg mentioned in paragraph 4? A．They fell sick shortly after joining the US Navy. B．They worked with the chemical of TCE directly. C．They suffered because of their exposure to TCE. D．They were diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease early. 11．Which of the following shows the researchers’ opinion? A．TCE levels in the air are impossible to monitor. B．Measures of handling TCE should be stricter. C．The use of chemicals requires more freedom. D．Efforts to replace TCE have proven very simple. D Begun 30 years ago, the Kubuqi desert greening project has succeeded in not only controlling the fast growth of the seventh-largest desert in China, about the size of Kuwait, but also turning about 6,000 square kilometers of the desert — one-third of it — green. The desert lies about 800 kilometers to the west of Beijing in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region and the greening efforts have also controlled desertification (沙漠化) in the rest of the area. The project, which began about 30 years ago, can be looked to as an example of efforts to advance green development, in order to create harmony between humans and nature, and leave a better environment for future generations. The success of the project, which has been n praised by the UN Environment Programme as an “eco-pioneer”, sets an example for successful desertification control and ecosystem improvement based on effective government policies, supported by investment (投资) in the eco-industry and combined with the efforts of local farmers. These three aspects are key to the success of the “Kubuqi model”. Elion, a private ecology (生态) and investment company, has invested about 38 billion yuan ($5.82 billion) in the Kubuqi desert-greening project since 1988 helping to lift about 102,000 local farmers out of poverty. For example, the locals grow a drought-tolerant (耐旱) plant, Chinese licorice, which is the most used herb in traditional Chinese medicine. The plant helps enrich the desert soil, with the bacteria around the roots of the plants producing nitrogen (氮气). Besides, Cistanche, another type of drought-tolerant herb, was introduced after the successful planting of licorice. Under the company’s guidance and with the local government’s support, the local people benefit from the “environmental wealth”. More companies should be encouraged to apply the “Kubuqi model” in other desert control projects in Inner Mongolia and neighboring Gansu province, where the climate conditions are similar but not quite the same, so as to further gain experience and enrich the model in practice. Showing it can be successfully applied in other areas will help promote the model worldwide. 12．What is the result of the Kubuqi greening project? A．It has increased the areas of desert. B．It has turned all of the desert green. C．It has achieved amazing improvements. D．It has been applied all over the world. 13．What is the main reason for the success of the “Kubuqi model”? A．Praise from international organizations. B．Government, companies and local efforts. C．Use of new farming technologies. D．Foreign financial support. 14．How does the author develop paragraph 5? A．By giving examples. B．By following the time order. C．By giving a definition (定义). D．By making comparisons. 15．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．Drought-Tolerant Plants: Key to Desert Control. B．Government Policies Alone Save the Desert. C．UN Praises China’s Desert Greening Efforts. D．A Successful Model for Turning Deserts Green. 第二节（共 5 小题;每小题 2. 5 分，满分 12. 5 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 As a radio presenter, I noticed that individuals often prefer music from their teens or early twenties. 16 Firstly, we tend to have a different good memory between the ages of about ten and thirty. 17 The second reason is that music is a powerful trigger for our emotions, which in turn sparks our memories. The music in our teen years is likely to have lots of emotions to understand, so even a very small part of a particular song can bring powerful feelings and memories flooding back. 18 It can have a calming effect, putting you in a relaxed mood, ready to remember. Rhythms and rhymes are great memory aids. And when we love a song, we tend to repeat it over and over again. Singing or playing something can even activate “muscle memory”, and there are many cases of people with severe memory loss still being able to perform music they learned decades ago. So the next time you hear a familiar song, put it to good use, to explore and exercise your memory. Think about the places and people it reminds you of and the emotions it brings. 19 Remember a particular time in your life, think about the music you listened to then and let it take you back, following the connections as you piece together the past. You can also use music when you’re learning. 20 If you’re dealing with several topics, play different styles of music while learning different things. Experiment to see what works for you. Songs can have a powerful impact on memory, and that should be music to everyone’s ears! A．There are two very good reasons for that. B．The following practical suggestions are just for you. C．There are further ways in which music boosts recall. D．Find recordings that energize your thinking in your study. E．Some people use music to make themselves fall asleep faster. F．You may feel as if you rediscover the richest details of your past. G．Most of us have more novel and exciting memorable experiences then. 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 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 The city circle was quiet when my van pulled up at 8: 00 A．M.

As a professor at Kent State University, he had been out kayaking on the river when he got out to walk his kayak to a different location. As he was walking, he heard shouting and realized that a mother and a boy were in the river and in need of help. It appeared that the little boy had slipped and fallen into the river, and his mother immediately jumped in after to save her son. She was able to grab onto the boy, but they were swept downstream by the swift current (水流). As an experienced kayaker, Bade had just taken a rapid water rescue course the year before and was familiar with the challenges that section of the river posed to anyone caught in its flow. He had previously assisted several people who had encountered trouble in that area. “Those examples were ones where I was kind of able to help people out before anything serious happened,” he said. This experience, combined with his training, prepared him for the situation unfolding before him. Bade quickly assessed the scene. The mother and the boy appeared to be stuck in the middle of the river, surrounded by rubbish and pieces of wood. He knew the wood posed a significant danger, as the water could flow through and around it, potentially pushing someone underneath and trapping them. Without hesitation, Bade sprang into action. He fixed his kayak to a post and walked into the water,carefully making his way through the strong current. As he approached the pair, he called out to get them a bit relaxed, instructing the mother to hold onto her child tightly. Using the skills he had learned in his rescue course, he managed to reach them and stabilize their position in the river. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Suddenly, the mother and the boy were caught in a rapid current. _______________________________________________________________________________ Once on land, Bade helped the pair into the ambulance called to the scene. _______________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第2页，共8页 试卷第1页，共8页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 答案第2页，共2页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
