In fact, this daily running is a precious chance to build up our physique and ease study pressure. We should take it seriously rather than making up excuses to skip it. If you really cannot run due to health issues, do offer a formal doctor’s note. Otherwise, just step out of the classroom and join your classmates in this beneficial exercise. 第2节 读后续写 Looking back, they saw little Mike holding on to a broken block of ice, unable to climb onto it. The frigid water numbed his tiny limbs in an instant, his lips turning blue and his whole body trembling uncontrollably. The thin ice around him kept cracking with sharp sounds, making it too risky for the two elder sisters to approach. They screamed for help at the top of their lungs, tears blurring their vision, but the remote farm was empty except for the howling wind. Their hearts sank as they watched Mike’s small hands slipping on the wet ice little by little. Seeing that, Bear let out a series of woofs and jumped into the water, heading straight for Mike. Her thick fur was soon soaked through by the icy water, but she paddled forward with all her strength, not slowing down for a second. Reaching the panicking boy, she gently bit the collar of his coat with her firm jaws, wrapping her strong body around him to keep him afloat. She fought against the cold water with her innate water rescue instinct, pushing Mike steadily towards the shore. Finally, she sent the shivering boy safely into his sisters’ arms, before shaking off the water and nuzzling Mike’s frozen hands softly, as if comforting her scared best friend. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 泉州五中2025-2026学年第二学期期中考试 高二英语 本试卷共 10 页，试卷满分：150 分，考试时间：120 分钟 注意事项: 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡指定位置上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案，用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 第一部分：听力 (共两节，满分 30 分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上，录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第1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.

Therefore, labels on products help consumers make informed choices. The primary function of these marks is to ensure the safety of users and property. For instance, electrical equipment sold in the European Union must carry the "CE" mark, which proves that the product meets all relevant EU standards. Unlike an official approval, it is based on the company's own evaluation. In contrast, the Chinese "CCC" mark requires testing by an official organization, and a certificate must be obtained. Products without the "CCC" mark cannot be sold in China. Other marks are also important. The French "FR" sign instructs consumers to separate packaging for recycling. The "RoHS" mark shows a product limits harmful materials under EU rules, but as it is merely one part of the CE standard, it does not ensure full compliance (遵守). Codes like "SKC/SKU" are simply used by companies to manage their product storage. Most importantly, products must have clear safety warnings on their labels, or they will be banned from the market. Below is a product label: 18. Which mark is required for a digital camera to be sold in Europe? A. FR. B. CE. C. SKC. D. RoHS. 19. Which risk is least likely to occur according to this product label? A. Cuts. B. Poisoning. C. Burns. D. Choking. 20. What can be learned about this product from the label? A. It is allowed to be sold in China. B. Its packaging cannot be recycled. C. It can be opened by children alone. D. It restricts certain harmful substances. B All alone, the small brown coin lay on the windowsill, wearing spider webs and dust. The morning sun warmed him, then moved away. He had been placed there "in case", and so he waited. No one needed him, these days. Policymakers kept remarking, woundingly, that it cost more to make each penny than it was worth. That was why they would end production in 2026. People had soured on him, for some time. When he was handed over in change, shoppers waved him away with "Keep the penny". Increasingly, they simply waved a card and ignored him. He had spent longer and longer simply lying around. In economic terms, however, he liked to think he was still important, encouraging careful budgeting. The price was calculated down to the smallest detail (namely, him). When a product was priced at 20, people were more willing to buy it, boosting the economy. Then came charity. Where would all those boxes be, without the likes of him? In several cities cents were harvested for good causes; school children collected them in cloth bags. Thousands of dollars were raised that way, little by little. Such arguments, however, did not persuade policymakers. What, then, was his future, and that of any other penny? As an accessory, perhaps. After all, pennies were lucky. A good-looking cent, as cents went, could become a button. Glued to a leg, he could stop a chair from wobbling (摇晃). There were worse fates, like being thrown in a fountain. None of this was what he had been made for. So, humbly, he accepted his new purpose in national life. Perhaps, some day, he would hear his owner say, "Glad I kept that penny." In the far future he might become rare and valuable. This was his chief comfort: that some people, at least, would still appreciate that face value and true worth are not at all the same thing. 21. Which paragraph presents an argument against policymakers' decision? A. Paragraph 1. B. Paragraph 2. C. Paragraph 3. D. Paragraph 4. 22. Why is charity mentioned in Paragraph 5? A. To introduce new problems in charity work. B. To raise concerns about wasting small coins. C. To give further evidence of the penny's value. D. To make a contrast between giving and spending. 23. What would the penny imagine as his best possible future? A. Ending up in a fountain. B. Being used as a decoration. C. Becoming a collectible. D. Being remade into a new coin. 24. What is the overall tone of the text? A. Mildly humorous but a bit sad. B. Very formal but a bit dry. C. Seemingly calm but a bit distant. D. Highly romantic but a bit unreal. C An international research team has discovered wild chimps (黑猩猩) in Tanzania's Gombe National Park demonstrate basic engineering skills when making tools. They purposefully select flexible plant materials to create effective "fishing rods" for catching termites (白蚁), showing advanced understanding of material properties. Published in the journal Science, these findings provide insights into how animals develop tools using easily damaged materials — a poorly understood aspect of human technological evolution. Termites serve as an important food source for chimps, rich in nutrients. To extract these insects from their complicated underground nests, chimps require thin, bendable sticks that can go through winding tunnels. Researchers tested plant materials to measure flexibility and found plants ignored by chimps were 175% stiffer than those regularly chosen. Even among plants growing near termite nests, those showing chimp bite marks produced more flexible tools than untouched ones. Lead researcher Dr. Pascual-Garrido, who has studied chimp tools for over ten years, stated: "This is the first clear evidence that wild chimps select tool materials based on mechanical performance." Remarkably, similar plant choices appear in chimp groups living up to 5,000 km from Gombe, suggesting shared engineering principles in their tool-making culture. This indicates chimps may possess "folk physics" — a natural understanding of material properties that guides their tool selection. Their engineering skills involve careful material testing rather than random choices. "By combining animal behavior studies with material science, we better understand how chimps evaluate tool effectiveness," explained Dr. Pascual-Garrido. The research raises questions about how such knowledge is passed between generations, such as young chimps learning by observing their mothers. It also helps scientists understand early human tool-making skills that left no physical evidence. Dr. Casteren, a biomechanics expert, noted, "Though wooden tools rarely survive in ancient sites, the mechanical rules behind effective tools remain consistent across species." This comparative approach helps reconstruct physical requirements that shaped early human technology, offering clues about prehistoric tool use that archaeology (考古学) cannot preserve. 25. Why are specific plant materials often chosen by chimps as tools? A. They are more nutrient. B. They fit into termite nests. C. They are more available. D. They attract many termites. 26. What does the underlined word "stiffer" probably mean in paragraph 3? A. Harder to bend. B. Slower to dry. C. Lighter to carry. D. Easier to shape. 27. What does the study reveal about chimp tool-making? A. It is passed down through genes. B. It follows an intentional process. C. It proves chimps are as wise as humans. D. It is an ability limited to a specific group. 28. What is highlighted in the last paragraph? A. Potential criticism. B. Supporting evidence. C. Study significance. D. Research background. D The 18th century German philosopher Immanuel Kant lived very firmly in a world of time. He was so strict about routine that his fellow citizens of Königsberg could set their watches by his afternoon walk. However, in his philosophical work, Kant was doubtful about time. He believed time is created by the human mind. Out there beyond our minds, there is no time. It's simply a "category" of our minds that helps us to perceive objects and order our experience. The flexibility of our time perception supports Kant's doubt. We all know time is not a fixed phenomenon but seems to pass at different speeds in different situations. For example, it seems to go slowly when we travel to unfamiliar places, or when we are bored or in pain. It seems to speed up when we're absorbed, such as when we play music or paint. Our perception of time can change in a dramatic way. Perhaps, at least once in your life, you've had what is called a "Time Expansion Experience (TEE)," when seconds have stretched out into minutes. TEEs happen most frequently in accidents where perception becomes more intense than normal and thus people notice more details. In accident situations, people are often surprised by the amount of time they have to think and act. In fact, many people are convinced that time expansion spared them from serious injury, or even death. For example, a woman who reported a TEE in which she avoided a metal barrier falling on to her car said, "For me the slowing down of the moment allowed me to decide how to escape the falling metal on us." All of this suggests that Kant was right. Perhaps the reason why time is variable is because it doesn't really exist — at least, outside our minds. There is no objective time out there in the universe. What we experience as time is filtered (过滤) through our minds, and so varies according to our state of mind. 29. Which of the following would Immanuel Kant approve of? A. Time is a basic quality of the world. B. Time is a record of human experience. C. Time is a situation measured by daily routine. D. Time is a mental concept generated by humans. 30. What is the main idea of paragraph 2? A. Time progresses at a constant speed. B. Full attention affects people's sense of time. C. Time perception varies depending on context. D. People feel time slows down on special occasions. 31. What do some people think of TEEs in accidents? A. Beneficial. B. Inspiring. C. Temporary. D. Painful. 32. What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Time Expansion: Real or Imaginary? B.The Secret of Time: A State of Mind C.Time Perception: A Philosophical Exploration D.The Clockwork of the Mind: How to Measure Time? 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，选项中有两项为多余选项。 It's a joyful and stressful time of year in the United States for students and their families as they make decisions about where to attend college. Families often turn to ranking systems to help make a decision. 36 When I talk to families as a scholar of higher education, they're often surprised that teaching excellence is not counted in rankings. 37 Emerging research suggests that courses in lower-ranked universities, on average, scored higher on teaching than courses in higher-ranked universities. 38 The absence of teaching excellence from the rankings is surprising given the link between high-quality teaching and student success. Quality teaching is one of the most important predictors of a wide range of college outcomes. Rankings, however, are only one reason why a low value is placed on teaching in higher education. Administrators often don't view teaching excellence as a way to increase enrolment or funding. 39 Research shows that the more time instructors spend on teaching, the lower their salary. What is the result? Many instructors continue to teach using traditional lectures, which lead to lower success rates. 40 Nevertheless, not much will change until schools with high-quality teaching are rewarded with more resources, higher rankings and increased enrolments (注册). In the long term, universities, organisations that rank schools, and others should work to make teaching a valued, core part of the mission. What should students and their families do? They should give strong consideration to universities where high-quality teaching is valued, even though the schools may be ranked lower. A. Higher education has achieved its true potential. B. Therefore, it's not highly valued in hiring or promotion. C. Quality teaching has been an important reputation-building factor. D. However, the rankings ignore a critical factor: the quality of teaching. E. Efforts to improve teaching at the university level have recently emerged. F. They're even more surprised at how teaching is undervalued by universities. G. In fact, universities often shift emphasis from teaching to other ranking factors. 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，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 My father's thrift (节俭) philosophy shaped my youth.

Modern thrift education 48 saving, but ignores its key point: earning. Father believed "Earned coins teach value; given coins generate greed" — a truth many families overlook while 49 thrift. By delivering papers at dawn and washing cars at dusk, I learned that true thrift is a triad (三位一体): earn through 50 , save with intention, spend with care. This trio, 51 in classrooms, roots in blistered (起水泡的) hands and difficult situations. 52 , the thrift I was brought up with stands in sharp contrast to what I see in the wider world. 1.3 billion tons of food are thrown away annually while 800 million starve. This phenomenon 53 my Food Rescue project — redirecting leftover bakery goods to food banks and training youth to 54 deserted furniture for schools. Through such acts, thrift becomes social justice. As Father said, "Earning teaches respect for resources." In our wasteful era, thrift transforms from a 55 discipline to collective duty. 41.

She was a big dog on the Perkins' family farm, a woolly creature with floppy ears and paws like bedroom slippers. She protected the ducks and chickens from being eaten by foxes. She guarded the children as well, watching over them as closely as she did the chickens and ducks. In winter the dog ran alongside the children as they sledded (滑雪橇) down snowy hills. In summer she swam with them in a nearby river. Bear belonged to a breed (品种) that had long been used by Atlantic fishermen to help with their work, and it had a keen instinct (本能) for water rescue. When the children were in the river, the dog would swim in circles around them, barking when she felt they went out too far. She was the perfect farm dog — companion, guardian, protector. The dog's favorite among the three children was three-year-old little Mike. They often curled up together. Sometimes Bear would doze while Mike pretended to read to her. Often both were sound asleep, a tangle of dark fur, blond hair, small hands and huge paws. At bedtime, Mike saved his last hug for Bear, his "best friend". On a cold winter day, when their parents went out to send a parcel, eight-year-old Martha, seven-year-old Sara and Mike, went to slide on the frozen pond of their farm. Shouting happily, they slid back and forth, their boots gliding easily across the ice. They laughed as they watched Bear's attempts to stop suddenly, which would instead send her skidding beyond them. Then, tired, the three sat down on the ice, with Bear beside them. Suddenly the ice gave way under their combined weight. As Bear jumped for shore, the three children fell into the freezing cold water. Screaming, Martha and Sarah struggled to find footing on rocks underwater. Branches from a tree nearby provided handholds, and using every bit of their strength, the two girls pulled themselves to shore. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Looking back, they saw little Mike holding on to a broken block of ice, unable to climb onto it. Seeing that, Bear let out a series of woofs and jumped into the water, heading straight for Mike. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
