The goal is to reduce pollution, improve student safety, and teach children about environmental responsibility. Unlike traditional diesel (柴油) buses, which emit harmful fumes (烟), the new fleet of electric school buses produces zero tailpipe (排气管) emissions. The project, launched by the Department of Education, plans to replace 5,000 old buses with electric models over the next three years. Each electric bus can travel up to 120 miles on a single charge, enough for a full day of school routes. “This is a win-win for students and the planet,” said Secretary of Education Lisa Carter. “Cleaner air means healthier kids, and these buses show the next generation how technology can protect the environment.” Safety features have also been upgraded. The new buses are equipped with advanced AI systems that monitor driver behavior and pedestrian (行人) traffic. Additionally, automatic seat belt reminders and emergency exit lights make trips safer for passengers. To help students learn about renewable energy, each bus has a small screen inside that displays real-time energy usage data. However, the transition (转变) does come with challenges. The high cost of purchasing electric buses and building charging stations remains a barrier for many school districts. Nevertheless, the government provides financial subsidies (补贴) to cover 80% of the initial costs. Early data from pilot programs shows that electric buses are not only better for the environment but also cheaper to maintain in the long run. Cost Category Diesel Bus ($) Electric Bus ($) Savings with Electric Bus ($) Purchase Price 80,000 180,000 -100,000 Fuel/ Energy Cost 60,000 25,000 35,000 Maintenance Cost 45,000 20,000 25,000 Total Cost 185,000 225,000 -20,000 Environmental Impact High Emissions Zero Emission -100% Reduction 1. What is the main advantage of electric school buses? A. Being much cheaper to buy. B. Having a longer driving range. C. Bringing greater safety to drivers. D. Being more environmentally friendly. 2. What is the purpose of the small screen inside each bus? A. To monitor driver behaviors. B. To renew and recycle energy. C. To show timely energy consumption. D. To remind passengers to fasten seat belts. 3. How much does the school pay for one electric bus in all? A. $36,000. B. $45,000. C. $225,000. D. $180,000. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】主要说明了美国推行电动校车计划，替换旧校车，零排放更环保，升级安全配置并普及节能知识，虽购车成本高，但政府补贴且长期养护更省钱。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Unlike traditional diesel (柴油) buses, which emit harmful fumes (烟), the new fleet of electric school buses produces zero tailpipe (排气管) emissions.(与传统的柴油校车不同，传统柴油校车会排放有害烟雾，而新型电动校车则完全不会产生尾气排放)”可知，电动校车的主要优势更具环保性。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“To help students learn about renewable energy, each bus has a small screen inside that displays real-time energy usage data.(为了帮助学生了解可再生能源，每辆校车内部都配备了一个小屏幕，能够显示实时的能源使用数据)”可知，每辆校车内部的小屏幕用于展示实时的能源消耗情况。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Nevertheless, the government provides financial subsidies (补贴) to cover 80% of the initial costs.(然而，政府会提供财政补贴，以承担初始成本的80%)”以及表格电动校车总成本225000美元，可知，学校购买一辆电动校车总共要花费225000 × 20%=45000美元。 B “I’m drawn to making things that can last. I think your job as a songwriter is to try to document a time and your story and make people feel things, but also leave something behind,” 27-year-old British singer Olivia Dean said in an interview. Her search for music that stands the test of time has confirmed her status as one of pop’s biggest rising stars. On Feb. 28, Dean took home four honors at the 2026 BRIT Awards, including Artist of the Year, Pop Act, Song of the Year and Album of the Year. She was also crowned Best New Artist at the Grammy Awards in early February. Her second album, The Art of Loving, debuted (首次亮相) at No.1 in the UK on its release in September 2025. As the child of an English father and a Jamaican-Guyanese mother, Dean learned early that the record industry had rigid expectations of the sort of music a woman of color should make. She followed her own path, drawing on her love of soul and jazz but also alternative rock. “Sometimes listen to music with their eyeballs rather than their ears... I feel I could make anything I wanted to and you’d just have to get your head around it,” Dean responded. This sense of independence shines in every part of Dean’s music-making process. Rather than making a pop record in Los Angeles, Dean set up her own studio in East London. There, she worked on The Art of Loving with producers she felt most comfortable with. She said the goal was to live the message of the album to feel safe and loved as she was singing about feeling safe and loved. Dean’s relaxed, easy-going attitude to music-making made her album sound warm and natural. The BBC said that she sings about love and loss just like your best friends sharing their secrets. “Dean’s songs are highly relatable, yet they’re delivered through a sound that feels fresh and distinctive,” Billboard commented. 4. What can we learn about Olivia Dean from the first two paragraphs? A. She documented stories for songwriters. B. She seeks to create truly timeless music. C. She won four Grammy Awards in early 2026. D. Her first album topped the UK charts in 2025. 5. How did Olivia Dean respond to the industry’s fixed ideas? A. She met their expectations. B. She stayed true to her musical style. C. She preferred visual shows to good songs. D. She gave up her mixed cultural backgrounds. 6. What does Olivia Dean’s music bring to listeners? A. A chance to share secrets. B. A new way of producing albums. C. A different attitude to making music. D. A sense of connection and understanding. 7. Which of the following can best describe Olivia Dean? A. Creative and cautious. B. Generous and easy-going. C. Traditional and ambitious. D. Independent and determined. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了英国歌手Olivia Dean追求永恒音乐，坚持自我风格，在音乐界取得显著成就并赢得听众共鸣。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Her search for music that stands the test of time has confirmed her status as one of pop’s biggest rising stars.

While SMRs remain more a technology of promise than certainty, this decision marks a major step in the country’s long-term energy strategy. The goal is to expand nuclear capacity from 9 GW to 100 GW by 2047, with SMRs playing a key role. Unlike traditional reactors, which are massive and take up to a decade to build, SMRs are smaller — under 300 MWe — and factory-made. They can be assembled (组装) on-site, reducing delays and costs. Their small size also allows them to be placed in industrial parks or near data centers, where steady power is essential. Unlike solar or wind, nuclear power provides constant and reliable output. However, the global record for SMRs is mixed. Although each unit costs less than a large reactor, it produces far less electricity. Without mass production — potentially dozens or even hundreds of units — costs may remain high. Investor skepticism (怀疑) has grown, as some nuclear projects have faced major cost overruns despite technological advances. Meanwhile, solar and wind continue to expand faster and more cheaply, making them the leading source of new power worldwide. Environmental concerns also exist. Some SMR designs may produce more radioactive waste per unit of electricity, raising waste problems. Additionally, regulatory frameworks and fuel supply chains are still under development. India has yet to establish the necessary foundations. Thus, while the opportunity is significant, India must build a solid regulatory system, create a clear road-map, and decide how best to use this promising technology. 8. What makes SMRs different from traditional nuclear reactors? A. Larger physical size. B. Longer assembly period. C. Higher power output per unit. D. Easier construction and setup. 9. What aspects of SMRs are mainly talked about in paragraph 3? A. Design futures. B. Mixed opinions. C. Current challenges. D. Future promises. 10. What is the author’s attitude to India’s SMRs plan? A. Unconcerned. B. Critical. C. Cautious. D. Approving. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. SMRs: A Costly Technology with No Future B. SMRs: A Reliable Future Without Challenges C. SMRs: A Guaranteed Path to Energy Independence D. SMRs: A Powerful Opportunity Still Facing Hurdles 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了印度在小型模块化反应堆 (SMRs)方面的计划，包括其优势、面临的挑战以及作者对此的谨慎态度。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Unlike traditional reactors, which are massive and take up to a decade to build, SMRs are smaller — under 300 MWe — and factory-made. They can be assembled (组装) on-site, reducing delays and costs. (与传统反应堆不同，传统反应堆体积庞大，建造时间长达十年，而小型模块化反应堆的体积较小，低于300兆瓦电力，而且是工厂制造的。它们可以在现场组装，减少延误和成本。)”可知，小型模块化反应堆比传统核反应堆更容易建造和安装。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Although each unit costs less than a large reactor, it produces far less electricity. Without mass production — potentially dozens or even hundreds of units — costs may remain high. Investor skepticism (怀疑) has grown, as some nuclear projects have faced major cost overruns despite technological advances. Meanwhile, solar and wind continue to expand faster and more cheaply, making them the leading source of new power worldwide. (虽然每个单元的成本低于大型反应堆，但发电量却要少得多。如果没有大规模生产——可能生产几十甚至几百个单元——成本可能仍然很高。随着一些核项目尽管技术进步仍面临严重的成本超支，投资者的怀疑情绪日益加剧。与此同时，太阳能和风能继续以更快、更便宜的速度扩张，成为全球新增电力的主要来源。)”可知，第三段主要讨论了小型模块化反应堆目前面临的挑战。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Thus, while the opportunity is significant, India must build a solid regulatory system, create a clear road-map, and decide how best to use this promising technology. (因此，尽管机遇重大，但印度必须建立一个稳固的监管体系，制定清晰的路线图，并决定如何最好地利用这项有前途的技术。)”可知，作者认为印度在推进小型模块化反应堆计划时需要谨慎行事，建立稳固的监管体系等。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，特别是第一段“India has committed ₹20,000 crore to develop Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) (小型模块化反应堆) as part of its Nuclear Energy Mission. While SMRs remain more a technology of promise than certainty, this decision marks a major step in the country’s long-term energy strategy. (印度已承诺投入2万亿卢比开发小型模块化反应堆，作为其核能计划的一部分。尽管小型模块化反应堆仍是一种有前景的技术，而非确定无疑的技术，但这一决定标志着该国长期能源战略迈出了重要一步。)”以及最后一段“Thus, while the opportunity is significant, India must build a solid regulatory system, create a clear road-map, and decide how best to use this promising technology. (因此，尽管机遇重大，但印度必须建立一个稳固的监管体系，制定清晰的路线图，并决定如何最好地利用这项有前途的技术。)”可知，文章主要介绍了印度在小型模块化反应堆方面的计划、该技术的优势、面临的挑战以及作者对此的态度，“SMRs: A Powerful Opportunity Still Facing Hurdles (小型模块化反应堆：一个仍面临挑战的强大机遇)”适合作为文章标题。 D Transmitting (输送) information from 40,000 kilometers above Earth might sound like the stuff of science fiction, but Chinese scientists have turned it into reality. They’ve successfully maintained a high-speed laser (激光) link with a high-orbit satellite for over three hours. According to Xinhua, China has launched multiple high-orbit and low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites to provide internet services. High-orbit satellites are typically 36,000 kilometers above Earth, while LEO satellites range from a few hundred kilometers to 2,000 kilometers. Due to their higher altitude (高度), high-orbit satellites can cover larger areas. However, the high altitude can bring problems. The communication between these satellites and the ground isn’t stable, lasting only minutes. Also, while data travels quickly from satellites, signals from Earth are much slower. “It’s like sending someone 10 messages and getting only one reply,” Liu Chao, a researcher from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told Sichuan Daily. “It’s hard to have an efficient conversation that way.” To solve these problems, the research team developed a laser communication ground station with a 1.8-meter-wide optical (光学的) telescope in Lijiang, Yunnan province. Acting like a sensitive eye, the station can detect weak signals from over 40,000 kilometers away. Additionally, scientists used a guiding laser to help the satellite and ground station quickly find each other. They also employed precise tracking and real-time corrections to keep the “conversation” stable, reported Sichuan Daily. The efforts have resulted in a breakthrough. At distances of up to 40,740 kilometers, the ground station and a high-orbit satellite achieved two-way communication in just four seconds. The link, which was as fast as one gigabit (千兆比特) per second, lasted over three hours uninterrupted. According to Xinhua, this means that high-orbit satellites can not only transmit data quickly but also receive complex instructions in real time. This lays a foundation for upgrading high-orbit satellites from data relay stations into intelligent processing centers in our space network. The experiment also proved the deep-space communication abilities of ground stations. “With this technology, we will be able to communicate with deep space probes (探测器) on the moon, Mars and other locations directly from Earth,” Liu told Sichuan Daily. 12. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By quoting a scientist. B. By making a comparison. C. By defining a concept. D. By presenting a breakthrough. 13. What challenge do high-orbit satellites face according to paragraph 3? A. Delayed signals from space. B. Slow data transmission to Earth. C. Poor and unreliable communication. D. Limited amount of received information. 14. What is the function of the guiding laser? A. To speed up data transmission. B. To correct real-time tracking errors. C. To receive weak signals from space. D. To assist satellite-ground connection. 15. What can we infer from Liu Chao’s words? A. Deep-space probes have been widely used. B. The new technology supports future space exploration. C. High-orbit satellites are now intelligent processing centers. D. Laser communication has replaced traditional satellite communication. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国科学家成功实现了与高轨道卫星的高速激光连接，并解决了通信不稳定等问题，为未来的太空探索和深空通信奠定了基础。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Transmitting (输送) information from 40,000 kilometers above Earth might sound like the stuff of science fiction, but Chinese scientists have turned it into reality. They’ve successfully maintained a high-speed laser (激光) link with a high-orbit satellite for over three hours. (从地球上空4万公里处传输信息听起来像是科幻小说里的东西，但中国科学家已经将其变为现实。他们成功地与一颗高轨道卫星保持了三个多小时的高速激光连接。)”可知，作者通过呈现一个突破来引入话题。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“However, the high altitude can bring problems. The communication between these satellites and the ground isn’t stable, lasting only minutes. (然而，高海拔也会带来问题。这些卫星与地面之间的通信不稳定，只能持续几分钟。)”可知，高轨道卫星面临的挑战是通信不稳定，即通信质量差且不可靠。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Additionally, scientists used a guiding laser to help the satellite and ground station quickly find each other. (此外，科学家们使用了一种引导激光来帮助卫星和地面站快速找到彼此。)”可知，引导激光的作用是帮助卫星和地面站快速找到彼此，即协助卫星与地面的连接。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“This lays a foundation for upgrading high-orbit satellites from data relay stations into intelligent processing centers in our space network. The experiment also proved the deep-space communication abilities of ground stations. “With this technology, we will be able to communicate with deep space probes (探测器) on the moon, Mars and other locations directly from Earth,” Liu told Sichuan Daily. (这为将高轨道卫星从数据中继站升级为我们空间网络中的智能处理中心奠定了基础。该实验还证明了地面站的深空通信能力。“有了这项技术，我们将能够直接从地球与月球、火星和其他地点的深空探测器进行通信，”刘告诉《四川日报》。)”可知，从刘超的话中我们可以推断出这项新技术支持未来的太空探索。 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。 Living in a crowded apartment doesn’t mean you have to give up gardening. Community gardens — small plots (小块土地) shared by neighbors — offer a perfect way to grow plants, make friends, and breathe fresh air. ____16____ Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned gardener, these shared spaces turn urban living into something more rooted. I’ve been tending a plot in my community garden for three years. I kicked things off by talking to the coordinator (协调人) and signing up for a small 4x6-foot plot. ____17____ I started with easy-to-grow plants: tomatoes, basil, and marigolds. They’re forgiving for beginners and reward you with quick results — nothing beats picking a ripe tomato you grew yourself! ____18____ I also learned to test the soil pH, water according to the weather, and companion-plant (间作) to keep pests away. For example, planting marigolds next to tomatoes repels harmful insects naturally. Besides producing vegetables, it also bonds me with neighbors. We traded harvests: my basil went to a neighbor who bakes bread, and she gave me jars of her homemade jam. ____19____ On weekends, we often work side by side, chatting about everything from gardening to family. Of course, gardening has its challenges. There were weeks of drought last summer, and some of my plants wilted (枯萎). ____20____ Community gardening isn’t just a hobby — it’s a way to bring a little green into the city and warmth into people’s lives. Every time I see a new sprout (幼苗) push through the soil or share a handful of fresh herbs with a neighbor, I’m reminded why I started. A. It’s not just about digging and planting. B. Many community gardens even offer free workshops for beginners. C. Soon after, I bought the basics: a trowel, gloves, and a watering can. D. They also provide a chance to escape city noise and get your hands dirty. E. Some grow flowers for beauty, while others focus on vegetables for cooking. F. Luckily, I learned to set up a simple watering system with fellow gardeners’ help. G. We also gathered for harvest festivals, each bringing dishes made from garden produce. 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. A 19.

Leo, a thin kid in a wheelchair, rolled slowly over to the edge of the court. His mom, Mrs. Carter, stood a few steps away, watching him quietly with a worried look in her eyes — she knew how much he missed basketball. Leo stopped under a big tree, his eyes locked on the healthy boys running and jumping around freely. Their laughter floated in the air as they dribbled (运球), passed, and shot. Leo’s eyes were full of admiration and he could almost feel what it was like to hold the basketball. His mom walked over gently, putting a hand on his shoulder. “Honey, do you want to head home?” she asked softly. Leo shook his head, not taking his eyes off the court. “Just a little longer, Mom,” he mumbled (嘟囔). He loved basketball more than anything before the accident, but now he could only watch from far away, like someone who didn’t belong. He bit his lower lip hard, trying not to let the tears in his eyes fall. His longing for basketball and sadness about his disability twisted together in his chest, making him feel lonely and helpless — as if the whole world had moved on without him. Right then, Alex, a tall boy who stopped to rest, noticed Leo. “Hey, man, I’m Alex” he said, holding out a hand. Leo hesitated for a second, and then shook it weakly. “Leo,” he replied. “You like basketball a lot, right?” Leo’s eyes lit up a little, but then dimmed (暗淡) again. “I used to play,” he said, staring at his legs. “Before the accident.” Alex nodded, his expression softening. “I bet you were good at it. Why not join us?” Hearing his words, Leo gave a small, sad smile. “I’m afraid I can’t!” Then he left with his mum. Staring at Leo’s back, Alex decided to help him — he could see the longing in Leo’s eyes. The next day, Leo came to the court as usual. 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。 To his great surprise, the boys appeared again, all sitting in wheelchairs. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Leo’s mother watched the scene with tears streaming down. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 To his great surprise, the boys appeared again, all sitting in wheelchairs. Alex rolled over to Leo with a bright smile and held out a basketball. They had prepared a special wheelchair basketball game just for him. No one ran or jumped; everyone moved slowly and carefully on wheels. They passed the ball to Leo patiently and cheered loudly every time he touched the ball. Gradually, Leo relaxed, forgot his sadness and focused on the game. Each basket drew cheers, and Leo’s smile grew wider. For the first time after the accident, he felt included and joyful. Leo’s mother watched the scene with tears streaming down. She covered her mouth, her worry melting into relief and pride. She was deeply touched by the boys’ kindness and thoughtfulness. Seeing her son laughing and playing happily, her worry faded away. Leo no longer felt lonely or limited by his disability. He realized basketball was never only about running and jumping, but about passion, teamwork and warmth. From that day on, Leo kept coming to the court, regaining his confidence and courage to face his life positively. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索。讲述了热爱篮球的男孩Leo因事故坐上轮椅，只能远远看着其他男孩打篮球，内心充满渴望与悲伤。Alex注意到Leo后主动搭话，邀请他一起打篮球，Leo因身体原因拒绝。第二天，Alex和伙伴们坐着轮椅出现在球场，为Leo准备了一场特殊的轮椅篮球赛，让Leo重新感受到篮球的快乐和团队的温暖。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可描写Alex和伙伴们坐着轮椅出现在球场，为Leo准备了一场特殊的轮椅篮球赛，大家耐心地传球给Leo，每次他触球都大声欢呼，让Leo感受到被接纳的快乐。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可描写Leo的母亲被男孩们的善良和体贴深深感动，看到儿子快乐地打球，她的担忧消失了，Leo也意识到篮球不仅是奔跑跳跃，更是激情、团队合作和温暖，从此他重拾信心，积极面对生活。 2. 续写线索：坐着轮椅出现——准备特殊篮球赛——耐心传球欢呼——母亲感动——担忧消失——重拾信心积极生活 3. 词汇激活 行为类： ①逐渐消失：fade away/gradually disappear ②限制：limit/restrict ③意识到：realize/be aware 情绪类： ①快乐的：joyful/happy/cheerful ②担忧：worry/anxiety 【点睛】【高分句型1】They passed the ball to Leo patiently and cheered loudly every time he touched the ball. (运用了every time引导的状语从句) 【高分句型2】 Seeing her son laughing and playing happily, her worry faded away.(运用了现在分词seeing作状语，现在分词laughing and playing作宾语补足语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025～2026学年度第二学期期中学业水平质量监测 高二年级英语试题 说明：1．本试卷共12页，满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2．请将所有答案填涂或填写在答题卡相应的答题处，否则不得分。 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。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

The goal is to reduce pollution, improve student safety, and teach children about environmental responsibility. Unlike traditional diesel (柴油) buses, which emit harmful fumes (烟), the new fleet of electric school buses produces zero tailpipe (排气管) emissions. The project, launched by the Department of Education, plans to replace 5,000 old buses with electric models over the next three years. Each electric bus can travel up to 120 miles on a single charge, enough for a full day of school routes. “This is a win-win for students and the planet,” said Secretary of Education Lisa Carter. “Cleaner air means healthier kids, and these buses show the next generation how technology can protect the environment.” Safety features have also been upgraded. The new buses are equipped with advanced AI systems that monitor driver behavior and pedestrian (行人) traffic. Additionally, automatic seat belt reminders and emergency exit lights make trips safer for passengers. To help students learn about renewable energy, each bus has a small screen inside that displays real-time energy usage data. However, the transition (转变) does come with challenges. The high cost of purchasing electric buses and building charging stations remains a barrier for many school districts. Nevertheless, the government provides financial subsidies (补贴) to cover 80% of the initial costs. Early data from pilot programs shows that electric buses are not only better for the environment but also cheaper to maintain in the long run. Cost Category Diesel Bus ($) Electric Bus ($) Savings with Electric Bus ($) Purchase Price 80,000 180,000 -100,000 Fuel/ Energy Cost 60,000 25,000 35,000 Maintenance Cost 45,000 20,000 25,000 Total Cost 185,000 225,000 -20,000 Environmental Impact High Emissions Zero Emission -100% Reduction 1. What is the main advantage of electric school buses? A. Being much cheaper to buy. B. Having a longer driving range. C. Bringing greater safety to drivers. D. Being more environmentally friendly. 2. What is the purpose of the small screen inside each bus? A. To monitor driver behaviors. B. To renew and recycle energy. C. To show timely energy consumption. D. To remind passengers to fasten seat belts. 3. How much does the school pay for one electric bus in all? A. $36,000. B. $45,000. C. $225,000. D. $180,000. B “I’m drawn to making things that can last. I think your job as a songwriter is to try to document a time and your story and make people feel things, but also leave something behind,” 27-year-old British singer Olivia Dean said in an interview. Her search for music that stands the test of time has confirmed her status as one of pop’s biggest rising stars. On Feb. 28, Dean took home four honors at the 2026 BRIT Awards, including Artist of the Year, Pop Act, Song of the Year and Album of the Year. She was also crowned Best New Artist at the Grammy Awards in early February. Her second album, The Art of Loving, debuted (首次亮相) at No.1 in the UK on its release in September 2025. As the child of an English father and a Jamaican-Guyanese mother, Dean learned early that the record industry had rigid expectations of the sort of music a woman of color should make. She followed her own path, drawing on her love of soul and jazz but also alternative rock. “Sometimes listen to music with their eyeballs rather than their ears... I feel I could make anything I wanted to and you’d just have to get your head around it,” Dean responded. This sense of independence shines in every part of Dean’s music-making process. Rather than making a pop record in Los Angeles, Dean set up her own studio in East London. There, she worked on The Art of Loving with producers she felt most comfortable with. She said the goal was to live the message of the album to feel safe and loved as she was singing about feeling safe and loved. Dean’s relaxed, easy-going attitude to music-making made her album sound warm and natural. The BBC said that she sings about love and loss just like your best friends sharing their secrets. “Dean’s songs are highly relatable, yet they’re delivered through a sound that feels fresh and distinctive,” Billboard commented. 4. What can we learn about Olivia Dean from the first two paragraphs? A. She documented stories for songwriters. B. She seeks to create truly timeless music. C. She won four Grammy Awards in early 2026. D. Her first album topped the UK charts in 2025. 5. How did Olivia Dean respond to the industry’s fixed ideas? A. She met their expectations. B. She stayed true to her musical style. C. She preferred visual shows to good songs. D. She gave up her mixed cultural backgrounds. 6. What does Olivia Dean’s music bring to listeners? A. A chance to share secrets. B. A new way of producing albums. C. A different attitude to making music. D. A sense of connection and understanding. 7. Which of the following can best describe Olivia Dean? A. Creative and cautious. B. Generous and easy-going. C. Traditional and ambitious. D. Independent and determined. C India has committed ₹20,000 crore to develop Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) (小型模块化反应堆) as part of its Nuclear Energy Mission. While SMRs remain more a technology of promise than certainty, this decision marks a major step in the country’s long-term energy strategy. The goal is to expand nuclear capacity from 9 GW to 100 GW by 2047, with SMRs playing a key role. Unlike traditional reactors, which are massive and take up to a decade to build, SMRs are smaller — under 300 MWe — and factory-made. They can be assembled (组装) on-site, reducing delays and costs. Their small size also allows them to be placed in industrial parks or near data centers, where steady power is essential. Unlike solar or wind, nuclear power provides constant and reliable output. However, the global record for SMRs is mixed. Although each unit costs less than a large reactor, it produces far less electricity. Without mass production — potentially dozens or even hundreds of units — costs may remain high. Investor skepticism (怀疑) has grown, as some nuclear projects have faced major cost overruns despite technological advances. Meanwhile, solar and wind continue to expand faster and more cheaply, making them the leading source of new power worldwide. Environmental concerns also exist. Some SMR designs may produce more radioactive waste per unit of electricity, raising waste problems. Additionally, regulatory frameworks and fuel supply chains are still under development. India has yet to establish the necessary foundations. Thus, while the opportunity is significant, India must build a solid regulatory system, create a clear road-map, and decide how best to use this promising technology. 8. What makes SMRs different from traditional nuclear reactors? A. Larger physical size. B. Longer assembly period. C. Higher power output per unit. D. Easier construction and setup. 9. What aspects of SMRs are mainly talked about in paragraph 3? A. Design futures. B. Mixed opinions. C. Current challenges. D. Future promises. 10. What is the author’s attitude to India’s SMRs plan? A. Unconcerned. B. Critical. C. Cautious. D. Approving. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. SMRs: A Costly Technology with No Future B. SMRs: A Reliable Future Without Challenges C. SMRs: A Guaranteed Path to Energy Independence D. SMRs: A Powerful Opportunity Still Facing Hurdles D Transmitting (输送) information from 40,000 kilometers above Earth might sound like the stuff of science fiction, but Chinese scientists have turned it into reality. They’ve successfully maintained a high-speed laser (激光) link with a high-orbit satellite for over three hours. According to Xinhua, China has launched multiple high-orbit and low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites to provide internet services. High-orbit satellites are typically 36,000 kilometers above Earth, while LEO satellites range from a few hundred kilometers to 2,000 kilometers. Due to their higher altitude (高度), high-orbit satellites can cover larger areas. However, the high altitude can bring problems. The communication between these satellites and the ground isn’t stable, lasting only minutes. Also, while data travels quickly from satellites, signals from Earth are much slower. “It’s like sending someone 10 messages and getting only one reply,” Liu Chao, a researcher from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told Sichuan Daily. “It’s hard to have an efficient conversation that way.” To solve these problems, the research team developed a laser communication ground station with a 1.8-meter-wide optical (光学的) telescope in Lijiang, Yunnan province. Acting like a sensitive eye, the station can detect weak signals from over 40,000 kilometers away. Additionally, scientists used a guiding laser to help the satellite and ground station quickly find each other. They also employed precise tracking and real-time corrections to keep the “conversation” stable, reported Sichuan Daily. The efforts have resulted in a breakthrough. At distances of up to 40,740 kilometers, the ground station and a high-orbit satellite achieved two-way communication in just four seconds. The link, which was as fast as one gigabit (千兆比特) per second, lasted over three hours uninterrupted. According to Xinhua, this means that high-orbit satellites can not only transmit data quickly but also receive complex instructions in real time. This lays a foundation for upgrading high-orbit satellites from data relay stations into intelligent processing centers in our space network. The experiment also proved the deep-space communication abilities of ground stations. “With this technology, we will be able to communicate with deep space probes (探测器) on the moon, Mars and other locations directly from Earth,” Liu told Sichuan Daily. 12. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By quoting a scientist. B. By making a comparison. C. By defining a concept. D. By presenting a breakthrough. 13. What challenge do high-orbit satellites face according to paragraph 3? A. Delayed signals from space. B. Slow data transmission to Earth. C. Poor and unreliable communication. D. Limited amount of received information. 14. What is the function of the guiding laser? A. To speed up data transmission. B. To correct real-time tracking errors. C. To receive weak signals from space. D. To assist satellite-ground connection. 15. What can we infer from Liu Chao’s words? A. Deep-space probes have been widely used. B. The new technology supports future space exploration. C. High-orbit satellites are now intelligent processing centers. D. Laser communication has replaced traditional satellite communication. 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。 Living in a crowded apartment doesn’t mean you have to give up gardening.

I’ve been tending a plot in my community garden for three years. I kicked things off by talking to the coordinator (协调人) and signing up for a small 4x6-foot plot. ____17____ I started with easy-to-grow plants: tomatoes, basil, and marigolds. They’re forgiving for beginners and reward you with quick results — nothing beats picking a ripe tomato you grew yourself! ____18____ I also learned to test the soil pH, water according to the weather, and companion-plant (间作) to keep pests away. For example, planting marigolds next to tomatoes repels harmful insects naturally. Besides producing vegetables, it also bonds me with neighbors. We traded harvests: my basil went to a neighbor who bakes bread, and she gave me jars of her homemade jam. ____19____ On weekends, we often work side by side, chatting about everything from gardening to family. Of course, gardening has its challenges. There were weeks of drought last summer, and some of my plants wilted (枯萎). ____20____ Community gardening isn’t just a hobby — it’s a way to bring a little green into the city and warmth into people’s lives. Every time I see a new sprout (幼苗) push through the soil or share a handful of fresh herbs with a neighbor, I’m reminded why I started. A. It’s not just about digging and planting. B. Many community gardens even offer free workshops for beginners. C. Soon after, I bought the basics: a trowel, gloves, and a watering can. D. They also provide a chance to escape city noise and get your hands dirty. E. Some grow flowers for beauty, while others focus on vegetables for cooking. F. Luckily, I learned to set up a simple watering system with fellow gardeners’ help. G. We also gathered for harvest festivals, each bringing dishes made from garden produce. 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I vividly recall my first day at Columbia University.

Leo, a thin kid in a wheelchair, rolled slowly over to the edge of the court. His mom, Mrs. Carter, stood a few steps away, watching him quietly with a worried look in her eyes — she knew how much he missed basketball. Leo stopped under a big tree, his eyes locked on the healthy boys running and jumping around freely. Their laughter floated in the air as they dribbled (运球), passed, and shot. Leo’s eyes were full of admiration and he could almost feel what it was like to hold the basketball. His mom walked over gently, putting a hand on his shoulder. “Honey, do you want to head home?” she asked softly. Leo shook his head, not taking his eyes off the court. “Just a little longer, Mom,” he mumbled (嘟囔). He loved basketball more than anything before the accident, but now he could only watch from far away, like someone who didn’t belong. He bit his lower lip hard, trying not to let the tears in his eyes fall. His longing for basketball and sadness about his disability twisted together in his chest, making him feel lonely and helpless — as if the whole world had moved on without him. Right then, Alex, a tall boy who stopped to rest, noticed Leo. “Hey, man, I’m Alex” he said, holding out a hand. Leo hesitated for a second, and then shook it weakly. “Leo,” he replied. “You like basketball a lot, right?” Leo’s eyes lit up a little, but then dimmed (暗淡) again. “I used to play,” he said, staring at his legs. “Before the accident.” Alex nodded, his expression softening. “I bet you were good at it. Why not join us?” Hearing his words, Leo gave a small, sad smile. “I’m afraid I can’t!” Then he left with his mum. Staring at Leo’s back, Alex decided to help him — he could see the longing in Leo’s eyes. The next day, Leo came to the court as usual. 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。 To his great surprise, the boys appeared again, all sitting in wheelchairs. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Leo’s mother watched the scene with tears streaming down. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
