Here are the highlights: Bvlgari To celebrate Chinese New Year, the fine jewelry house Bvlgari introduces a festive capsule collection of jewelry, watches, and accessories. Among the highlights are horse-shaped brooches (胸针) crafted in either 18K rose gold or 18K yellow gold, each set with rubies, onyx and diamonds. Radiating timeless brilliance, the pieces convey wishes for the New Year — to move forward with the courage of a galloping horse and to embrace a life force that surges endlessly onward. Prada Prada celebrates Chinese New Year 2026 with the “Prada Triangle Fire Horse”, inspired by the Year of the Fire Horse, which occurs once every 60 years. Symbolizing energy, courage and independence, the fire horse is reinvented through Prada’s iconic triangle logo. The campaign stars Prada ambassadors Yang Mi, one of China’s most influential actresses, and Ma Long, a legendary Olympic and World Champion table tennis player. Tiffany Tiffany & Co. has released its 2026 Chinese New Year advertisement, featuring the Pegasus design and the brand’s most representative collections. Uniting mythic symbolism with timeless design, the new collections signal the arrival of a year filled with joy and new possibilities. At the heart of the campaign is a Pegasus design inspired by a brooch, offering a poetic expression of hope and the idea of moving forward in the new year. Guerlain Guerlain has launched a special-edition product for Chinese New Year. This special bottle was in collaboration with Truscelli Creations jewelry workshop. It is a new version of the brand’s famous bee bottle, inspired by the 2026 lunar zodiac animal. The bottle is bright red, a color that stands for success and good luck. Decorated with handmade gold jewelry and Swarovski crystals, the bottle captures the energetic spirit of the horse. 21. What is Tiffany’s design to celebrate the new year? A. A red bottle. B. A Pegasus design. C. Triangle Fire Horse. D. Horse-shaped brooches. 22. Which of the following employs brand celebrities? A. Tiffany. B. Bvlgari. C. Prada. D. Guerlain. 23. What do the four brands have in common in their 2026 Chinese New Year collections? A. Their designs originate from myths and legends. B. Their designs are characterized by festive colors. C. Their designs are in cooperation with other workshops. D. Their designs express new year’s wishes with creativity. B Recently, I was surprised to learn that Louis XVI was an enthusiastic locksmith and blacksmith. Why would a king get his hands dirty doing the work of a commoner? Actually, I think I understand the pleasure he found in it. When I was a teenager, my uncle bought me the silversmithing tools. I taught myself to make silver jewelry and silverware. And soon I found myself whiling away hours pounding sheets of metal into various shapes, soldering (焊接) them together, and polishing them. I had no real goal. I was just absorbed in the process of making. Sometimes I was frustrated when a piece came out badly. But I would just go back to the workbench and keep going. In my following professional life, I have had opportunities to see other people in this state of absorption. A web designer I worked with told me over lunch one day about how he had lain in bed the night before imagining the architecture of a new online site the company wanted. When I saw him later that day, his eyes were glued to the monitor as he carefully built the structure he had imagined. Such absorption deeply attracts us, so it feels more like play than work. Indeed, when we are absorbed like this, it is probably a kind of play. Play, after all, is how children explore their abilities by putting them to use. As adults, we never really stop playing; we just replace dolls with websites, silverwork, or whatever creative tools we might enjoy. If we’re lucky enough to have jobs that allow us to engage in this kind of play, it’s obvious that absorption will help us perform better. 24. Why is Louis XVI mentioned at the beginning of the text? A. To tell an interesting story. B. To introduce the topic. C. To solve a historic mystery. D. To show an unusual hobby. 25. What does the underlined part “whiling away” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Saving. B. Balancing. C. Killing. D. Cherishing. 26. How does the author present his idea in paragraph 3? A. By giving an example. B. By making a contrast. C. By making an explanation. D. By citing others’ opinions. 27. What can we learn from the text? A. Dedication in the process matters. B. Luck never fails adults. C. Chances favor creative minds. D. Play should be prioritized. C I’m brilliant, creative, generous and hardworking. Or so AI keeps telling me. Thanks to what’s known as “AI sycophancy”—the habit of our robots telling us only what we want to hear, as part of their duty to serve us— the artificial-intelligence tools I work with typically give me nothing but positive feedback. All that praise comes with some serious risks. We humans are suffering from confirmation bias: We tend to believe the information and opinions that prove what we already think, even if we’re wrong. It feels so good to be right, and so uncomfortable to be corrected—especially if those corrections mean changing what you believe or how you behave. That’s why I work hard to prevent AI’s pleaser tendencies with strategies like bringing together a virtual “team of competitors”, at least some of whom are guaranteed to disagree with me. Just as important, I’m using AI to control my human sensibilities to praise, so that when I do get a sycophantic response to my instructions, I doubt it. Perhaps the hardest part about all this is that you’re deliberately making yourself feel uncomfortable. Nobody wants to hear they are wrong. But if you won’t let the AI make you uncomfortable, then it will only give you the answers you want to hear, though those answers are incorrect. And that tolerance for discomfort matters for reasons t that go way beyond the accuracy of AI. When we get used to AIs that leap to serve us and constantly tell us we’re right, we reduce our tolerance for humans who challenge us. It doesn’t have to be that way, if we use smart tricks to push back on AI’s sycophantic tendencies. We can use AI to practice our tolerance for that discomfort, and perhaps even increase our appreciation for the humans who (unlike AIs) give us the straight talk we sometimes need. 28. What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1? A. AI’s ability to offer creative ideas. B. AI’s tendency of pleasing users. C. AI’s skill in correcting human errors. D. AI’s faith in protecting people. 29. Why does the author build a virtual “team of competitors? A. To control AI’s casual behaviors. B. To train AI’s sensing abilities. C. To boost AI’s working efficiency. D. To avoid AI’s blind recognition. 30. Which of the following may be a solution to AI sycophancy? A. Refusing others’ fair comment. B. Reducing the use of AI tools. C. Ignoring uncomfortable feedback. D. Allowing AI to challenge us. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. AI Sycophancy: A Hidden Risk to remove. B. AI Sycophancy: A Secret of AI Popularity. C. AI Sycophancy: A result of AI Development. D. AI Sycophancy: A Blessing for Human Progress. D The “hedgehog dilemma” (刺猬困境) is a famous metaphor from German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. In his 1851 book, through a story about hedgehogs, he proposed that, even with the best of intentions, humans harm each other when they attempt to have close relationships. His advice was simple: keep your distance. How does this idea apply to real life? Most people have experienced emotional harm in close relationships, such as friendships ending, lies in romance or even a family member causing pain over a lifetime. But should we let these experiences make us defensive? Modern science offers a different perspective. A PLOS Medicine study, with 308,849 participants, found that those with stronger social relationships had a 50% increased possibility of survival. Additionally, according to the National Institute on Aging, the health risks of long-term loneliness are as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, making Schopenhauer’s advice to “keep your distance” a concern. So what makes closeness difficult? If you’ve been hurt before, it might be that you’ve fallen into a defence mode. Psychotherapist Hillary Sanders points to some examples of common defence mechanisms such as going blank and regarding the present reaction as criticism. Most of these defensive reactions result from the early experience of hurt. But in therapy, if the clients can be helped to see the defences and the original source, they can be encouraged to be understanding of their protective behaviors. Then they have a chance to change and not just repeat old behaviours. Hillary also warns that defences need to be respected and should not be removed all at once. While Schopenhauer started the hedgehog dilemma, at the heart of this metaphor is the human desire to be close to one another. Unlike hedgehogs, humans are not naturally equipped with physical defenses. So, when we learn to lower our defences for loving people, there’s a chance we actually can have it all. 32. Why does the author mention the hedgehog dilemma in paragraph 1? A. To stress its importance. B. To introduce the theme of relationship. C. To support Schopenhauer’s advice. D. To recommend Schopenhauer’s book. 33. What can be inferred from the PLOS Medicine study? A. People should keep their distance from others. B. Long-term loneliness increases health risks like smoking. C. Strong social relationships are beneficial to us. D. The “hedgehog dilemma” is out of date. 34. Which behavior would Sanders most likely recommend in therapy? A. Quickly removing all defenses. B. Avoiding discussing past experience. C. Ignoring the sources of their defenses. D. Respecting one’s own protective behaviors. 35. What message does the hedgehog metaphor ultimately convey? A. Self-protection is essential to maintaining good relationships. B. Physical defenses matter more than emotional closeness. C. Balancing openness and self-protection is key to true connection. D. Self-protection stops people from forming emotional bonds. 第二节 七选五 （每题2.5分，共12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从选项中选出最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Knowledge Has a Price Tag Knowledge is the information that one acquires through experience or study. Understandably, those who create knowledge have invested time and effort to produce quality content. This kind of knowledge is valuable because of the effort behind it. 36 This was also the view of 700 people who demanded that a university application essay by Brooke Lim should be reviewed for plagiarism (抄袭). The Singaporean TikTok influencer and General Paper tutor was reported to have copied her blog essay from five books and eight articles. We need to be fair to those who create knowledge that benefits others. This is especially true for creators who depend on selling their intellectual work to make a living. People should pay for using their knowledge. 37 They prevents others from reproducing, distributing, or displaying knowledge without payment or acknowledgment of the owners. 38 Without proper funding, reliable knowledge may suffer. Consider the internet, where anyone — expert or beginner — can express opinions on any topic. The result is a flood of free information that is often incomplete or unreliable. In contrast, articles from trusted news sources and academic journals charge fees because they provide valuable and dependable knowledge. Another reason we should pay for knowledge is that it brings us closer to success. This kind of knowledge differs from the free information found on the internet, ChatGPT, or social media. Students researching projects may not find free online content helpful in advancing their knowledge. 39 It is one thing to gather information freely available online, but quite another to know how to use, analyze, and combine it in ways that advance our understanding of a topic. This explains why parents still pay high fees for top tutors expert in specific subjects. While the idea of making knowledge free may seem noble, the case of Brooke Lim reminds us that most people are still concerned about preserving the value of knowledge and recognizing its creators. 40 A. This latter concern is no less noble. B. Quality knowledge comes at a cost. C. In the worst case, they may even be misinformed. D. Creating it requires significant investment and effort. E. Therefore, such knowledge should not be entirely free for everyone. F. For this reason, we have laws to protect the rights of knowledge creators. G. Thus, a film director should pay for the right to use a musician’s song in a movie. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节， 满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15 小题；每小题1分，满分15分） Recently, I read a magazine article stating that people tend to turn into their parents as they age. The 41 signs include complaining about the weather, choosing comfort over style in clothing, going to bed early, and repeating family recipes — like my mom’s Sunday roast beef, a British tradition I once laughed at. 42 , this usually starts at 45, but I am certain it doesn’t 43 me, even though I’m 47. I’ve always lived differently. My parents had a big house with a ping-pong table and 44 weekly tournaments (锦标赛); I rent a small flat near a recreation center for indoor tennis. Mom loved vegetable gardening, but I only grow flowers in small pots. I 45 camper-van trips (Dad’s favorite) and Sunday roasts, nor do I 46 and suddenly wake up while watching TV or moan about rain when it delays. My daughter disagreed when I showed her the article. “Mom, you’re just like them,” she said as I 47 more chocolate cake, citing calories. “Grandma always counted calories!” She also pointed out I use Mom’s vintage teacups — ones I used to call “old-fashioned”. Her words made me 48 . Later, I noticed that a friend 49 her house with wallpaper like her mom’s, and my sister 50 bought a ping-pong table for neighbors. I somehow caught myself humming Dad’s favorite Tony Bennett songs. It was then that I realized these similarities are actually rather 51 . I found home’s familiarity in Dad’s cuckoo clock and Mom’s split pea soup. So, instead of resisting, I learned to 52 this change. Last week, I even made Mom’s roast beef —  it tasted like 53 . I guess I’ve unknowingly become a mini 54 of my parents, and I must admit: I don’t just like it; I’m 55 for it. 41. A. rare B. typical C. random D. secret 42. A. Unluckily B. Ultimately C. Theoretically D. Slowly 43. A. apply to B. contribute to C. appeal to D. occur to 44. A. watched B. held C. missed D. canceled 45. A. expect B. prefer C. organize D. dislike 46. A. doze off B. turn off C. drop off D. cut off 47. A. baked B. refused C. consumed D. shared 48. A. hesitate B. defend C. reflect D. admit 49. A. tidied B. traded C. departed D. decorated 50. A. even B. merely C. roughly D. still 51. A. annoying B. entertaining C. comforting D. encouraging 52. A. embrace B. deny C. ignore D. manage 53. A. growth B. memory C. failure D. success 54. A. variety B. vision C. virtue D. version 55. A. sorry B. ready C. grateful D. regretful 第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） “Love You, Old Self”—this simple phrase 56 (become) a source of warmth and a popular saying among young people across China in recent years. By posting photos of a homemade meal or a morning coffee with this caption, they transform small, daily acts 57 a shared ritual of self-kindness. 58 (praise) as one of the kindest trends, its meaning runs deep. The key lies in calling oneself “Old Self”, 59 friendly nickname that allows one to step back and speak to oneself with the kindness usually reserved for a close friend. This trend’s 60 (popular) is no accident, as today’s youth navigate overwhelming pressure, including the 61 (end) cycle of exams and fierce competition for university places and jobs. For instance, a Beijing high school student writes “Love You, Old Self” in her notebook to calm herself after a tough exam. Within this context, 62 (turn) to this gentle self-compassion has become a vital way to cope. Crucially, this practice is far from an excuse to shy away from challenges 63 a solid foundation for building greater resilience.

Before leaving town, they stopped at the local library to return some books. Outside, a crew was fixing the roof. They’d scraped off (刮) old shingles, laid down tar paper, and were now nailing new shingles. He shook his head as they pulled out of their parking space.“Hot day for that. I worked on a roofing crew for a few years. Hardest job I ever had.” The waves were perfect for body-boarding, and a sea breeze cooled the air. But all too soon they were headed home, back to the heat. Sebastian was half listening to the radio when the DJ gave the weather report.“The record-breaking heat will continue throughout the afternoon. With the humidity, temperatures will feel like 102,” she said.“If you have to be outside, remember to drink plenty of water, avoid tiring activity, and stay in the shade.” Sebastian was glad they had air conditioners at home, so at least it would be comfortable at night. As they passed the library again, the roofers were still there, their faces red and sweaty.“Do you think they have enough water?” Sebastian asked.“I'm sure they brought plenty on a day like this,” Dad said. But he didn't sound overly confident. Sebastian had just finished two weeks of soccer camp, and even with frequent water breaks, it had been miserably hot. His sports shirt stuck to his skin so stubbornly at the end of each day that he could barely pull it off. It made him think again about taking some water to the roofers. Sebastian walked to the end of his driveway, where he could get a view of the library. The roofers were still there, and the sun was still blazing. “I really think they need some water,” he told Dad. A look of concern came over Dad's face. “Thank you!” they all said as they passed around the bottles and opened them. 高二英语期中考试参考答案 听力： 1-5: BBCCB  6-10: AABAC  11-15: CBCBA  16-20: AACBC 阅读理解 21.

Life is full of challenges, but courage enables us to overcome difficulties. As we learn, poems can comfort our hearts and fill us with inner strength. They teach us to face hardships bravely and never give up. I hope you can cheer up soon and face your trouble with courage. I’m always here to support you. Yours, Li Hua 67. A look of concern came over Dad’s face. Dad nodded in agreement immediately. “You’ve got a point there. Let’s go get them some water.” They drove to the nearest supermarket right away, bought a whole case of iced bottled water, and returned to the library quickly. Sebastian carried the heavy box to the workers and offered the cold water to every tired roofer under the burning sun. “Thank you!” they all said as they passed around the bottles and opened them. The leading worker told Sebastian that they had run out of water an hour earlier, and no one had time to leave the job to buy more. The icy water, which cooled down their hot bodies, brought them great comfort. Looking at the workers’big relaxed smiles, Sebastian felt warm happiness well up in his heart. He realized that even a small kind act could bring huge warmth to people in need, and this hot day became the most memorable day in his life. 听力部分录音稿 Text 1 M: Tina, you spent much time watching TV this afternoon.

A recent survey says that, in America, about 40% of adults are short-sighted, up from 25% in 1971. Rates have similarly soared in other countries. If current trends continue, half the world’s population will be short-sighted by 2050. (18) What explains this global eyesight crisis? According to scientists, while a family history of nearsightedness raises the risk of a child developing it, a purely genetic case of nearsightedness is rare. Instead, lifestyle factors are thought to be more significant, especially a lack of time outdoors. (19) From 2015 to 2019, the highest nearsightedness rate measured among six-year-old children was 5.7%. In June 2020, after 5 months of lockdown, the rate shot up to 21.5%. To make matters worse, children are becoming nearsighted at a younger age. It’ll take some time to spot the problem and correct it.
