But a new study suggests that a quieter, cheaper alternative is overtaking them in the race to decarbonise our cities: the e-bike. According to research from the University of Oxford’s Transport Studies Unit, e-bikes are now reducing carbon dioxide emissions (排放) in European cities more effectively than electric vehicles (EVs). The key reason? Production emissions. Vehicle Type Production Emissions Annual Running Emissions Lifespan Emissions E-bike 150 kg CO2 0 kg 250 kg Electric car 12,000 kg CO2 0 kg 18,500 kg Petrol car 8,000 kg CO2 2,500kg 45,000 kg * Lifespan emissions calculated over 10 years / 15,000 km per year The table above tells a striking story. While an electric car produces zero emissions during use, building its battery and body creates a significant carbon footprint — equal to 80 e-bikes. A typical e-bike, by contrast, requires far fewer materials and a much smaller battery. “E-bikes are the overlooked hero of urban transport,” says Dr. Maria Sanchez, lead author of the study. “For short to medium journeys — which make up the majority of urban travel — they offer massive emission savings at a small part of the cost.” The study also highlights a trend called “car replacement.” In cities like Amsterdam and Copenhagen, one in three e-bike owners reported using their e-bike for trips they previously would have made by car. This shift could cut urban transport emissions by up to 12% by 2030, the researchers estimate. However, challenges remain. Many cities lack safe cycling roads, and battery recycling facilities are still developing. Despite these obstacles, the message is clear: when it comes to cleaning up city air, two wheels may be better than four. 21. What mainly makes e-bikes greener than electric cars? A. Quieter rides for cyclists. B. Lower production emissions. C. Wider usage in big cities. D. Fewer annual running emissions. 22. Dr. Maria Sanchez calls e-bikes “the overlooked hero” because ________. A. they have the potential to ultimately replace cars. B. they always come second for most urban travel. C. they are not welcome for long-distance journeys. D. they cut emissions effectively and economically. 23. What problem is the popularity of e-bikes faced with? A. Lack of battery materials. B. Unfavorable traffic conditions. C. Non-recyclable batteries. D. A limited number of wheels. B Eileen Gu, the 22-year-old freestyle skier, has won a silver medal for China at the Winter Olympics in Italy. Despite facing pressure, injuries and online criticism, she showed her determination and talent in the women’s slopestyle (坡面障碍技巧) final. Her remarkable achievement adds another chapter to her already impressive Olympic career, proving that true champions rise above hard times. Gu had a tough start in the qualifying round, even falling during her first run. But she quickly bounced back, remembering the pressure she felt at the Beijing Olympics four years ago. With encouragement from her mom, she focused on believing in herself. She landed a great second run, securing her spot in the final. In the final, she nailed her first run, scoring high and putting pressure on her competitors. Although she made some mistakes later, she held on to win the silver medal. This medal represents a new beginning for Gu after a challenging year. The past months had tested her toughness in ways she had never experienced before. Training alone during recovery, facing unfamiliar obstacles, and dealing with constant public attention could have broken a lesser athlete. Yet Gu transformed these difficulties into valuable lessons about herself. As she said, skiing is 50% skill and 50% mindset. Overcoming difficulties proves she can handle pressure. Looking beyond her own achievements, Gu hopes her journey will have a lasting impact on young people everywhere. She wants them to understand that success is not about avoiding failure, but about having the courage to rise after each fall. Whether on the ski slopes or in daily life, the ability to face challenges with courage and grace is what truly defines a champion. Gu’s silver medal is not just an award — it is a symbol of hope, proving that with dedication and heart, anything is possible. 24. How was the process of Gu’s competition? A. Effortless. B. Predictable. C. Disappointing. D. Dramatic. 25. Why does the author mention “a lesser athlete” in paragraph 3? A. To compare Gu’s training methods with others’. B. To explain how crucial recovery is for skiers. C. To stress Gu’s extraordinary mental strength. D. To show public criticism affects Gu deeply. 26. Which of the following will Gu most probably agree with? A. Mindset matters as much as competence. B. Failure can be avoided with confidence. C. Public attention helps athletes progress. D. Winning medals is real proof of success. 27. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. Who’ll learn the most from Gu’s achievements. B. Why Gu values the silver medal more than gold. C. What spiritual meanings behind Gu’s medal are. D. How one can become a champion with devotion. C Offshore oil leaks have caused some of the worst man-made disasters in history. And while adding a whirl (漩涡) of fire to the mix might sound like the opposite of a good solution, new research has found it might be the best way to clean up our mess. When dealing with major oil leaks, emergency responders often set fire to the floating oil on the ocean’s surface, creating “on-site” fire pools that stop the oil from spreading further. But while this protects the marine environment, such fires send huge clouds of smoke and poisonous smoke into the atmosphere. Taking inspiration from an unusual 2003 incident in Kentucky — where a Bourbon Whisky leak sent 800,000 gallons up in flames, circling into a 30 m fire whirl on a lake — Professor Elaine Oran and her team began to wonder whether the same process could be used for good. So the team constructed a 4.8 m-tall, three-walled triangular structure at a fire training facility in Texas, with a pool of raw oil floating on water at its centre. When lit, it produced a nearly 5.2 m fire whirl. The first large-scale experiment shows fire whirls burn oil leaks faster and cleaner than fire pools, proving their game-changing potential for ocean cleanups. Compared to conventional fire pools, it burned through oil 40% faster, cut smoke production by 40%, and consumed up to 95% of the fuel. The secret is in the whirl. Rather than spreading outward, the vortex (涡流) breathes in oxygen from all sides — burning hotter and more completely. But employing that power is easier said than done. Fire whirls are temperamental; too much wind and the column collapses, too little airflow control and it returns to a conventional fire pool. Despite this, Oran said achieving the “Goldilocks Zone” in the field is “very realistic”. “This study is more than just an experiment. It’s a brief view into a future where fire isn’t a force of destruction, but a tool to protect our oceans and planet,” she said. 28. What is the disadvantage of traditional oil burning? A. It fails to stop oil from spreading. B. It’s difficult to operate on site. C. It destroys marine life seriously. D. It causes serious air pollution. 29. Why did Elaine Oran’s team carry out the experiment? A. To figure out the cause of the Kentucky accident. B. To test whether fire whirls can clean oil leaks better. C. To acquire more experience for fire training in Texas. D. To prove the conventional fire pools are not reliable. 30. What does the underlined word “temperamental” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Difficult to control. B. Costly to produce. C. Extremely powerful. D. Naturally changing. 31. What conclusion can be drawn about the fire whirl technique? A. It’s been actually used in real oil leak accidents. B. It needs testing in some small-scale experiments. C. It will eventually replace other cleanup methods. D. It has promising potential in ocean conservation. D Science and art have long been seen as separate worlds, but a major upcoming event plans to bring them together in an exciting and large-scale way. Every five years, the cultural and non-profit institution Getty teams up with museums and institutions in Southern California on an event called PST Art. Getty has announced that the next edition of the event will be PST Art: Art & Science Collide, running from September 2024 through January 2025. With more than 60 exhibitions and works by more than 800 artists, it will be the largest art project in the US. The idea behind PST Art was that museums and institutions working together could “address a subject that was too vast for any one institution alone,” said Katherine E. Fleming, who runs the J. Paul Getty Trust. The next edition looks at art and science in new ways and covers topics such as climate change, visual technologies, and cosmology (the study of the origin and evolution of the universe). At the Getty Center in Los Angeles, there will be an exhibition about the light and colors in Vincent van Gogh’s famous painting Irises. It will also host an exhibition about a cooperation between artists and engineers in the 1960s and 1970s. At the La Brea Tar Pits, an active urban fossil (化石) dig site, artist Mark Dion will have an exhibition titled Excavations (发掘). He has been an artist in residence at the Tar Pits and has been helping with excavations and learning about fossils. As part of his show, Dion is making a 10-foot-long sculpture of a pack of rat bone structures. While putting the new PST Art project together, Fleming said there was a real connection between the artists and scientists involved. “We’ve discovered that all of the artists secretly really want to be scientists,” she said, “and all of the scientists secretly really want to be artists.” 32. What leads to PST Art being jointly held? A. The time of holding the event lasts too long. B. The event goes beyond one single institution. C. Too many scientists take part in the art event. D. It aims to spread art and science across the US. 33. What can we infer about Mark Dion? A. He is both an artist and a fossil scientist. B. He creates his works like Vincent van Gogh’s. C. His work is influenced by his life at the Tar Pits. D. His sculpture is made of the fossils he has found. 34. What does Fleming want to convey in the last paragraph? A. Everyone can become an artist or a scientist. B. Scientists should learn creativity from artists. C. Artists and scientists have a lot in common. D. Artists and scientists depend on each other. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Event Will Mix Science and Art B. Museums Host Special Exhibitions C. You decide: Artists or Scientists D. Getty Presents New Art Exhibitions 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分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。 Have you ever dealt with a simple misunderstanding that could have been resolved with more communication?

I’d received an invitation to an event I did not want to attend. My friend Judy was organizing a fundraising concert but it was scheduled at the end of a workweek packed with back-to-back projects and late-night deadlines. I didn’t want to hurt her feelings, but my mind shouted, “No, no. Don’t go.” With a sigh, I closed my email without replying. Sometimes, delay is the wiser choice. The next day, I presented my dilemma (窘境) to my friend Maryanne over lunch, picking at my salad as I voiced the inner conflict. “Just say no,” she advised softly. “You don’t have to lie or explain — just say you’re unavailable.”“But I am available,” I argued. “I’ll just be exhausted, in no mood to be chatty or fully present for her event.” Maryanne smiled knowingly. “You don’t have to let weariness (厌倦) hold you back from choosing what’s best for you. You’re entitled to some rest to recharge your spirit.” Her words made sense, but I still wondered if my desire could ease the weight of letting down Judy, who’d always supported me unconditionally. The following day, an older friend, Will, mentioned a recent conference on emotional well-being. “The speaker talked about reserved people,” he said. “Crowds energize sociable people, but they exhaust reserved ones. We need quiet time by ourselves sometimes.” Will’s explanation was a sudden insight into why I always experienced burnout after social events. Staring at my computer screen, I realized I needed to stop saying “yes” out of fear and start listening to my own needs. A sense of determination began to arise. 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。 Taking a deep breath, I opened my email. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To my surprise, it was nothing like I had feared. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025——2026学年第二学期期中考试 高二英语试卷 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 How does the woman sound?

W: Well, you’ve got to practice hundreds of hours on your own to get to know the piece. When things aren’t going well, you have no one to help you. You are on your own. M: What sort of workloads do professional concert pianists have? W: Some pianists, like Lang Lang and Daniil Trifonov, have busy schedules. They do more than a hundred concerts a year. Others, like Evgeny Kissin, do about half that. M: Do concert pianists get nervous before concerts? W: Of course. I always eat a light meal of fruit and chocolate to calm my nerves. Then I walk around my hotel room thinking about the music and moving my hands in the air. M: That’s interesting. Thanks very much. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. Which country is closest to the Faroe Islands? A. Norway. B. Scotland. C. Iceland. 18. How has the transport system on the Faroe Islands been improved these days? A. Road tunnels have been built. B. Helicopter rides are available. C. An airport has come into use. 19. What did the speaker do on the first day? A. She enjoyed the sunshine. B. She observed seabirds. C. She visited a lighthouse. 20.

C 【解析】 【原文】W: This year, I booked a tour to the Faroe Islands and our guide gave us some facts before the visit. The Faroe Islands are located in the North Atlantic Ocean, about halfway between Norway and Iceland, although their nearest neighbor is in fact Scotland. For many years, there’s been an airport on the main island, and a helicopter service between the islands. These days, there’re road tunnels to connect several islands. You definitely don’t go to the Faroe Islands for sunshine — it rains over 260 days a year. On our first day, we were meant to go on a boat trip to spot seabirds, but the wind was too strong, making this impossible. Instead, we went to another island and walked to a lighthouse for incredible views. While we were walking along the narrow paths, our guide told us that in 2019, the island was shut to tourists for a few days because volunteers helped to repair paths and put up signs to mark routes, and many of them stayed with local people in their homes. I wished I’d been part of that experience! 第二部分 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 When we think of green transport, electric cars often come to mind first. But a new study suggests that a quieter, cheaper alternative is overtaking them in the race to decarbonise our cities: the e-bike. According to research from the University of Oxford’s Transport Studies Unit, e-bikes are now reducing carbon dioxide emissions (排放) in European cities more effectively than electric vehicles (EVs). The key reason? Production emissions. Vehicle Type Production Emissions Annual Running Emissions Lifespan Emissions E-bike 150 kg CO2 0 kg 250 kg Electric car 12,000 kg CO2 0 kg 18,500 kg Petrol car 8,000 kg CO2 2,500kg 45,000 kg * Lifespan emissions calculated over 10 years / 15,000 km per year The table above tells a striking story. While an electric car produces zero emissions during use, building its battery and body creates a significant carbon footprint — equal to 80 e-bikes. A typical e-bike, by contrast, requires far fewer materials and a much smaller battery. “E-bikes are the overlooked hero of urban transport,” says Dr. Maria Sanchez, lead author of the study. “For short to medium journeys — which make up the majority of urban travel — they offer massive emission savings at a small part of the cost.” The study also highlights a trend called “car replacement.” In cities like Amsterdam and Copenhagen, one in three e-bike owners reported using their e-bike for trips they previously would have made by car. This shift could cut urban transport emissions by up to 12% by 2030, the researchers estimate. However, challenges remain. Many cities lack safe cycling roads, and battery recycling facilities are still developing. Despite these obstacles, the message is clear: when it comes to cleaning up city air, two wheels may be better than four. 21. What mainly makes e-bikes greener than electric cars? A. Quieter rides for cyclists. B. Lower production emissions. C. Wider usage in big cities. D. Fewer annual running emissions. 22. Dr. Maria Sanchez calls e-bikes “the overlooked hero” because ________. A. they have the potential to ultimately replace cars. B. they always come second for most urban travel. C. they are not welcome for long-distance journeys. D. they cut emissions effectively and economically. 23. What problem is the popularity of e-bikes faced with? A. Lack of battery materials. B. Unfavorable traffic conditions. C. Non-recyclable batteries. D. A limited number of wheels. 【答案】21. B 22. D 23. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了牛津大学的一项研究：在城市脱碳竞赛中，电动自行车的减碳效果比电动汽车更显著。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“According to research from the University of Oxford’s Transport Studies Unit, e-bikes are now reducing carbon dioxide emissions in European cities more effectively than electric vehicles (EVs). The key reason? Production emissions.( 牛津大学交通研究部门的研究表明，目前电动自行车在欧洲城市的二氧化碳减排效果比电动汽车更显著。关键原因是什么？生产环节的碳排放。)”和表格数据“表格数据，电动自行车的生产碳排放为150 kg CO₂，而电动汽车高达12,000 kg CO₂”可知，生产环节的高碳排放是电动汽车的短板，这是电动自行车更环保的主要原因。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““E-bikes are the overlooked hero of urban transport,” says Dr. Maria Sanchez, lead author of the study. “For short to medium journeys — which make up the majority of urban travel — they offer massive emission savings at a small part of the cost.”(该研究的主要作者 Maria Sanchez 博士说：“电动自行车是城市交通中被忽视的英雄。对于构成城市出行主体的中短途旅程，它们能以极低的成本实现大幅减排。)”可知，电动自行车在成本很低的情况下实现了大幅减排，这正是称其为“被忽视的英雄”的原因。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“However, challenges remain. Many cities lack safe cycling roads, and battery recycling facilities are still developing.(然而，挑战依然存在。许多城市缺乏安全的骑行道路，电池回收设施也仍在发展中。)”可知，电动自行车的普及面临的问题是不利的交通条件。 B Eileen Gu, the 22-year-old freestyle skier, has won a silver medal for China at the Winter Olympics in Italy. Despite facing pressure, injuries and online criticism, she showed her determination and talent in the women’s slopestyle (坡面障碍技巧) final. Her remarkable achievement adds another chapter to her already impressive Olympic career, proving that true champions rise above hard times. Gu had a tough start in the qualifying round, even falling during her first run. But she quickly bounced back, remembering the pressure she felt at the Beijing Olympics four years ago. With encouragement from her mom, she focused on believing in herself. She landed a great second run, securing her spot in the final. In the final, she nailed her first run, scoring high and putting pressure on her competitors. Although she made some mistakes later, she held on to win the silver medal. This medal represents a new beginning for Gu after a challenging year. The past months had tested her toughness in ways she had never experienced before. Training alone during recovery, facing unfamiliar obstacles, and dealing with constant public attention could have broken a lesser athlete. Yet Gu transformed these difficulties into valuable lessons about herself. As she said, skiing is 50% skill and 50% mindset. Overcoming difficulties proves she can handle pressure. Looking beyond her own achievements, Gu hopes her journey will have a lasting impact on young people everywhere. She wants them to understand that success is not about avoiding failure, but about having the courage to rise after each fall. Whether on the ski slopes or in daily life, the ability to face challenges with courage and grace is what truly defines a champion. Gu’s silver medal is not just an award — it is a symbol of hope, proving that with dedication and heart, anything is possible. 24. How was the process of Gu’s competition? A. Effortless. B. Predictable. C. Disappointing. D. Dramatic. 25. Why does the author mention “a lesser athlete” in paragraph 3? A. To compare Gu’s training methods with others’. B. To explain how crucial recovery is for skiers. C. To stress Gu’s extraordinary mental strength. D. To show public criticism affects Gu deeply. 26. Which of the following will Gu most probably agree with? A. Mindset matters as much as competence. B. Failure can be avoided with confidence. C. Public attention helps athletes progress. D. Winning medals is real proof of success. 27. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. Who’ll learn the most from Gu’s achievements. B. Why Gu values the silver medal more than gold. C. What spiritual meanings behind Gu’s medal are. D. How one can become a champion with devotion. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了中国22岁自由式滑雪运动员谷爱凌在意大利冬奥会上赢得银牌，她在比赛中展现出的决心和天赋，以及她的成就对年轻人的激励作用。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Gu had a tough start in the qualifying round, even falling during her first run. But she quickly bounced back, remembering the pressure she felt at the Beijing Olympics four years ago. With encouragement from her mom, she focused on believing in herself. She landed a great second run, securing her spot in the final. In the final, she nailed her first run, scoring high and putting pressure on her competitors. Although she made some mistakes later, she held on to win the silver medal.(谷爱凌在资格赛中开局艰难，甚至在第一轮滑行中摔倒。但她很快就振作起来，想起了四年前北京奥运会上感受到的压力。在妈妈的鼓励下，她专注于相信自己。她第二轮滑行表现出色，确保了进入决赛的资格。在决赛中，她第一轮滑行表现出色，得分很高，给对手施加了压力。尽管后来她犯了一些错误，但她还是坚持赢得了银牌)”可知，谷爱凌的比赛过程充满起伏，非常具有戏剧性。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Training alone during recovery, facing unfamiliar obstacles, and dealing with constant public attention could have broken a lesser athlete. Yet Gu transformed these difficulties into valuable lessons about herself.(在康复期间独自训练，面对不熟悉的障碍，以及应对持续的公众关注，这些可能会让一个能力稍弱的运动员崩溃。然而，谷爱凌将这些困难转化为关于自己的宝贵经验)”可知，作者提到“a lesser athlete”是为了强调谷爱凌非凡的心理素质，通过对比突出她的坚强和适应能力。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“As she said, skiing is 50% skill and 50% mindset. Overcoming difficulties proves she can handle pressure.(正如她所说，滑雪50%靠技巧，50%靠心态。克服困难证明了她能够应对压力)”可知，谷爱凌认为心态和技能同样重要，因此她最可能同意“心态和技能同样重要”这一观点。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Gu’s silver medal is not just an award — it is a symbol of hope, proving that with dedication and heart, anything is possible.(谷爱凌的银牌不仅仅是一个奖项，它是一个希望的象征，证明只要有奉献和决心，一切皆有可能)”可知，最后一段主要讲述了谷爱凌银牌背后的精神意义，即它代表着希望和可能性，激励着年轻人勇敢面对挑战。 C Offshore oil leaks have caused some of the worst man-made disasters in history. And while adding a whirl (漩涡) of fire to the mix might sound like the opposite of a good solution, new research has found it might be the best way to clean up our mess. When dealing with major oil leaks, emergency responders often set fire to the floating oil on the ocean’s surface, creating “on-site” fire pools that stop the oil from spreading further. But while this protects the marine environment, such fires send huge clouds of smoke and poisonous smoke into the atmosphere. Taking inspiration from an unusual 2003 incident in Kentucky — where a Bourbon Whisky leak sent 800,000 gallons up in flames, circling into a 30 m fire whirl on a lake — Professor Elaine Oran and her team began to wonder whether the same process could be used for good. So the team constructed a 4.8 m-tall, three-walled triangular structure at a fire training facility in Texas, with a pool of raw oil floating on water at its centre. When lit, it produced a nearly 5.2 m fire whirl. The first large-scale experiment shows fire whirls burn oil leaks faster and cleaner than fire pools, proving their game-changing potential for ocean cleanups. Compared to conventional fire pools, it burned through oil 40% faster, cut smoke production by 40%, and consumed up to 95% of the fuel. The secret is in the whirl. Rather than spreading outward, the vortex (涡流) breathes in oxygen from all sides — burning hotter and more completely. But employing that power is easier said than done. Fire whirls are temperamental; too much wind and the column collapses, too little airflow control and it returns to a conventional fire pool. Despite this, Oran said achieving the “Goldilocks Zone” in the field is “very realistic”. “This study is more than just an experiment. It’s a brief view into a future where fire isn’t a force of destruction, but a tool to protect our oceans and planet,” she said. 28. What is the disadvantage of traditional oil burning? A. It fails to stop oil from spreading. B. It’s difficult to operate on site. C. It destroys marine life seriously. D. It causes serious air pollution. 29. Why did Elaine Oran’s team carry out the experiment? A. To figure out the cause of the Kentucky accident. B. To test whether fire whirls can clean oil leaks better. C. To acquire more experience for fire training in Texas. D. To prove the conventional fire pools are not reliable. 30. What does the underlined word “temperamental” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Difficult to control. B. Costly to produce. C. Extremely powerful. D. Naturally changing. 31. What conclusion can be drawn about the fire whirl technique? A. It’s been actually used in real oil leak accidents. B. It needs testing in some small-scale experiments. C. It will eventually replace other cleanup methods. D. It has promising potential in ocean conservation. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】主要说明了海上漏油危害巨大，传统燃烧法污染空气。研究受意外事故启发实验漩涡火，清油更快更洁净，但不易操控，未来有望用于海洋保护。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But while this protects the marine environment, such fires send huge clouds of smoke and poisonous smoke into the atmosphere.(但尽管此举保护了海洋环境，然而这类火灾却会向大气中排放出大量的烟雾以及有毒烟雾)”可知，传统燃油燃烧的缺点是会造成严重的空气污染。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Taking inspiration from an unusual 2003 incident in Kentucky — where a Bourbon Whisky leak sent 800,000 gallons up in flames, circling into a 30 m fire whirl on a lake — Professor Elaine Oran and her team began to wonder whether the same process could be used for good.(受到2003年肯塔基州一起罕见事件的启发——当时一种波本威士忌发生泄漏，导致80万加仑的液体燃烧起来，并在湖面上形成一个30米高的火旋风——伊莱恩·奥兰教授及其团队开始思考，是否可以利用同样的原理来实现有益的目的)”可知，伊莱恩·奥兰的团队进行这项实验是为了测试火旋风是否能更有效地清理油泄漏。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“too much wind and the column collapses, too little airflow control and it returns to a conventional fire pool(风力过大时，火柱就会坍塌；而如果气流控制不当，它又会恢复成传统的火池状结构)”可知，风力过大漩涡崩塌、气流不足变回普通火坑，说明难以控制。故划线词意思是“难以控制的”。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite this, Oran said achieving the “Goldilocks Zone” in the field is “very realistic”. “This study is more than just an experiment. It’s a brief view into a future where fire isn’t a force of destruction, but a tool to protect our oceans and planet,” she said.(尽管如此，奥兰表示，在该领域实现“黄金地带”这一目标“是完全有可能的”。她说：“这项研究不仅仅是一项实验。它让我们对未来有了一个简要的展望，即在那个未来中，火不再是一种破坏的力量，而是一种保护我们的海洋和地球的工具。”)”可知，这种火旋技术在海洋保护方面具有巨大的潜力。 D Science and art have long been seen as separate worlds, but a major upcoming event plans to bring them together in an exciting and large-scale way. Every five years, the cultural and non-profit institution Getty teams up with museums and institutions in Southern California on an event called PST Art. Getty has announced that the next edition of the event will be PST Art: Art & Science Collide, running from September 2024 through January 2025. With more than 60 exhibitions and works by more than 800 artists, it will be the largest art project in the US. The idea behind PST Art was that museums and institutions working together could “address a subject that was too vast for any one institution alone,” said Katherine E. Fleming, who runs the J. Paul Getty Trust. The next edition looks at art and science in new ways and covers topics such as climate change, visual technologies, and cosmology (the study of the origin and evolution of the universe). At the Getty Center in Los Angeles, there will be an exhibition about the light and colors in Vincent van Gogh’s famous painting Irises. It will also host an exhibition about a cooperation between artists and engineers in the 1960s and 1970s. At the La Brea Tar Pits, an active urban fossil (化石) dig site, artist Mark Dion will have an exhibition titled Excavations (发掘). He has been an artist in residence at the Tar Pits and has been helping with excavations and learning about fossils. As part of his show, Dion is making a 10-foot-long sculpture of a pack of rat bone structures. While putting the new PST Art project together, Fleming said there was a real connection between the artists and scientists involved. “We’ve discovered that all of the artists secretly really want to be scientists,” she said, “and all of the scientists secretly really want to be artists.” 32. What leads to PST Art being jointly held? A. The time of holding the event lasts too long. B. The event goes beyond one single institution. C. Too many scientists take part in the art event. D. It aims to spread art and science across the US. 33. What can we infer about Mark Dion? A. He is both an artist and a fossil scientist. B. He creates his works like Vincent van Gogh’s. C. His work is influenced by his life at the Tar Pits. D. His sculpture is made of the fossils he has found. 34. What does Fleming want to convey in the last paragraph? A. Everyone can become an artist or a scientist. B. Scientists should learn creativity from artists. C. Artists and scientists have a lot in common. D. Artists and scientists depend on each other. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Event Will Mix Science and Art B. Museums Host Special Exhibitions C. You decide: Artists or Scientists D. Getty Presents New Art Exhibitions 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了盖蒂机构将举办科学与艺术碰撞的大型艺术活动。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The idea behind PST Art was that museums and institutions working together could “address a subject that was too vast for any one institution alone”(PST Art背后的理念是，博物馆和机构合作可以‘解决一个对任何一个机构来说都过于庞大的主题’)”可知，该活动超越了单个机构，所以需要多个机构合作举办。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“He has been an artist in residence at the Tar Pits and has been helping with excavations and learning about fossils. As part of his show, Dion is making a 10-foot-long sculpture of a pack of rat bone structures.(他一直是沥青坑的驻场艺术家，一直在帮助挖掘和学习化石。作为他展览的一部分，迪翁正在制作一个10英尺长的老鼠骨骼结构雕塑)”可推断，他的作品受到他在沥青坑生活的影响。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“We’ve discovered that all of the artists secretly really want to be scientists,” she said, “and all of the scientists secretly really want to be artists.”(‘我们发现，所有的艺术家都暗自希望成为科学家，’她说，‘所有的科学家都暗自希望成为艺术家’)”可推断，艺术家和科学家有很多共同之处。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Science and art have long been seen as separate worlds, but a major upcoming event plans to bring them together in an exciting and large-scale way.(长期以来，科学和艺术一直被视为两个独立的世界，但一项即将举行的重大活动计划以一种令人兴奋的大规模方式将它们结合在一起)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了盖蒂机构将举办科学与艺术碰撞的大型艺术活动，所以A选项“Event Will Mix Science and Art(活动将融合科学与艺术)”符合文章主旨，适合作为标题。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分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。 Have you ever dealt with a simple misunderstanding that could have been resolved with more communication? Effective communication is about expressing your feelings clearly and briefly while listening to another person’s body language and perspectives. ____36____. This guide can teach you the basics so you can get your point across quickly and calmly. Organize your thoughts before speaking. Before you attempt to communicate ideas, organize your thoughts using key points. A good rule of thumb is to choose three main points to center your conversation around. That way, if you go off track, you can easily return to your points without getting confused. If possible, write your talking points down on your phone’s Notes app or an index (索引) card for reference. ____37____. Keep your audience in mind. If you’re giving a presentation, consider the interests, commonalities, differences, and expected levels of knowledge on the topic you’re speaking on. ____38____. Ask yourself, “What kind of information would I want to walk away with?” ____39____. Be conscious of what your hands are saying as you speak. Some hand gestures can effectively highlight your points (open gestures), while others can be distracting and may shut down the conversation (closed gestures). Generally, the most effective gestures are natural, slow, and firm. Practice active listening skills. Communication is a two-way street. By actively listening, you can estimate how much of your message is getting through your listener(s) and whether or not it’s being received correctly or needs to be adjusted. ____40____. It’s also a good idea to ask the listener(s) to reflect back on what you said but in their own words. This can help you identify and correct mistaken views. A. Use noticeable body language signals B. Pay attention to non-verbal communication C. It may help to put yourself in the audience’s shoes D. You can ask for feedback if your audience needs clarification E. This will help you stay on topic and be clear about your intention F. Preparation is the key to successful communication in any situation G. Good communicators can build positive bonds and resolve conflicts 【答案】36. G 37. E 38. C 39. B 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍有效沟通的几种基础方法。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Effective communication is about expressing your feelings clearly and briefly while listening to another person’s body language and perspectives.(有效的沟通，就是清晰简洁地表达自身感受，同时读懂对方的肢体语言、理解对方的观点。)”和下文“This guide can teach you the basics so you can get your point across quickly and calmly.( 这份指南会教你沟通的基础技巧，帮你从容、冷静地快速表达自己的观点。)”可知，上文定义什么是有效沟通，下文说这份指南会教你沟通基础技巧。G项“Good communicators can build positive bonds and resolve conflicts.(优秀的沟通者能建立良好关系、化解矛盾。)”衔接有效沟通的意义与下文技巧指南。 【37题详解】 本段小标题是“Organize your thoughts before speaking.(说话前先梳理思路。)”，上文“If possible, write your talking points down on your phone’s Notes app or an index (索引) card for reference.(如果可以，把谈话要点记在手机备忘录或便签卡片上以备查看。)”建议把谈话要点记在手机备忘录或卡片上备用。E项“This will help you stay on topic and be clear about your intention.(这能帮你不跑题，且清晰明确自己的表达意图。)”中This指代上文“写下谈话要点”，承接做法，说明好处，贴合本段“提前梳理思路”主旨。 【38题详解】 本段小标题是“Keep your audience in mind.(顾及倾听者的感受。)”，上文“If you’re giving a presentation, consider the interests, commonalities, differences, and expected levels of knowledge on the topic you’re speaking on. (如果你要做演讲，要考虑听众的兴趣、共同点、差异，以及他们对你所讲话题的认知水平。)”指出顾及听众感受的具体做法，C项“It may help to put yourself in the audience’s shoes.(换位思考、站在听众的角度思考问题会很有帮助。)”承接上文，指出这样做的好处。 【39题详解】 空处为段落小标题。根据下文“Be conscious of what your hands are saying as you speak. Some hand gestures can effectively highlight your points (open gestures), while others can be distracting and may shut down the conversation (closed gestures). Generally, the most effective gestures are natural, slow, and firm.( 说话时留意自己手部传达的信号。有些手势（开放式手势）能有效突出观点，而有些手势（封闭性手势）会分散注意力，甚至让对话陷入僵局。通常来说，自然、舒缓且沉稳的手势沟通效果最佳。)”可知，本段全在讲手势、肢体动作这类不用语言的表达。B项“Pay attention to non-verbal communication. (注意非语言沟通)”为本段主题句，总领下文肢体手势的讲解。 【40题详解】 上文“By actively listening, you can estimate how much of your message is getting through your listener(s) and whether or not it’s being received correctly or needs to be adjusted.( 通过主动倾听，你能判断自己传达的信息被对方接收了多少、理解是否准确，是否需要做出调整。)”和下文“It’s also a good idea to ask the listener(s) to reflect back on what you said but in their own words. This can help you identify and correct mistaken views.(也可以让听众用自己的话复述你所说的内容。这样便于发现并纠正理解上的偏差。)”可知，上文指出判断信息是否被正确接收、是否需要调整，下文提出应对听众的建议，D项“You can ask for feedback if your audience needs clarification.(如果听众有疑问，你可以主动寻求反馈。)”承接主动倾听的做法，强调要主动获取受众的反馈，与下文补充建议并列衔接。 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I will never forget the summer after fourth grade, when my soccer team travelled to Hawaii for a tournament.

I’d received an invitation to an event I did not want to attend. My friend Judy was organizing a fundraising concert but it was scheduled at the end of a workweek packed with back-to-back projects and late-night deadlines. I didn’t want to hurt her feelings, but my mind shouted, “No, no. Don’t go.” With a sigh, I closed my email without replying. Sometimes, delay is the wiser choice. The next day, I presented my dilemma (窘境) to my friend Maryanne over lunch, picking at my salad as I voiced the inner conflict. “Just say no,” she advised softly. “You don’t have to lie or explain — just say you’re unavailable.”“But I am available,” I argued. “I’ll just be exhausted, in no mood to be chatty or fully present for her event.” Maryanne smiled knowingly. “You don’t have to let weariness (厌倦) hold you back from choosing what’s best for you. You’re entitled to some rest to recharge your spirit.” Her words made sense, but I still wondered if my desire could ease the weight of letting down Judy, who’d always supported me unconditionally. The following day, an older friend, Will, mentioned a recent conference on emotional well-being. “The speaker talked about reserved people,” he said. “Crowds energize sociable people, but they exhaust reserved ones. We need quiet time by ourselves sometimes.” Will’s explanation was a sudden insight into why I always experienced burnout after social events. Staring at my computer screen, I realized I needed to stop saying “yes” out of fear and start listening to my own needs. A sense of determination began to arise. 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。 Taking a deep breath, I opened my email. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To my surprise, it was nothing like I had feared. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Taking a deep breath, I opened my email. I typed a sincere reply to Judy, politely turning down her invitation. I explained I was buried in tight work tasks and badly needed quiet time to recharge myself. I thanked her warmly for thinking of me and wished her fundraising concert a great success. After finishing the message, I sent it at once, feeling a little nervous but relieved to follow my true heart. To my surprise, it was nothing like I had feared. Judy wrote back soon, showing full understanding. She said she totally knew the feeling of being worn out from heavy work and told me not to feel guilty at all. She added that my rest was also important and she hoped I could relax myself thoroughly. Her kindness made me realize that true friendship allows honest refusal without awkwardness, and learning to say no properly is also a way to cherish both others and myself. I can be completely true to myself. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者收到好友朱迪慈善音乐会的邀请，却因工作繁重、性格喜静不想赴约，又怕伤对方感情。经朋友开导后，作者领悟要遵从内心需求，坦诚回信婉拒邀请。朱迪十分体谅，这让作者明白真正的友谊包容真诚拒绝，学会合理拒绝也是善待自己与他人。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我深吸一口气，打开了邮箱”可知，第一段可描写经朋友开导后，作者领悟要遵从内心需求，坦诚回信婉拒邀请。 ②由第二段首句内容“令我惊讶的是，实际情况完全不像我所担心的那样”可知，第二段可描写朱迪十分体谅，这让作者明白真正的友谊包容真诚拒绝，学会合理拒绝也是善待自己与他人。 2.续写线索：打开邮箱——遵从内心——委婉拒绝——朱迪体谅——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①需要：need/require ②完成：finish/complete ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①紧张：nervous/stressed ②尴尬：awkwardness/embarrassment 【点睛】[高分句型1] I typed a sincere reply to Judy, politely turning down her invitation.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] I explained I was buried in tight work tasks and badly needed quiet time to recharge myself.（运用了省略that的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $高二英语下学期期中综合能力评估试题。第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的abc三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话。读两遍。Text one, how could you do that?

The furrow irelands are located in the north atlantic ocean, about halfway between norway and iceland, although their nearest neighbour is in fact scotland. For many years, there has been an airport on the main island and a helicopter service between the islands. These days, there are road tunnels to connect several islands. You definitely don't go to the farrow islands for sunshine. IT rains over two hundred sixty days a year. On our first day, we were meant to go on a boat trip to spot sea birds, but the wind was too strong, making this impossible. Instead, we went to another island and walked to a lights for incredible views. While we were walking along the narrow paths. Our guide told us that in twenty nineteen, the island was shut to tourists for a few days because volunteers helped to repair paths and put up signs to mark roots, and many of them stayed with local people in their homes. I wish i'd been part of that experience. This year I booked a tour to the feral islands, and our guide gave us some facts before the visit.
