Generations to come will look at the coins bearing these designs and be reminded of what can be accomplished with determination and a desire to improve opportunities for all. Anna May Wong Wong was the first Chinese American film star in Hollywood,appearing in more than 60 movies.Her coin shows her resting her head on her hand, surrounded by the round lights of a stage.A film critic once noted that Wong's performances often carried a sense of longing,as if she was eager for a Hollywood that fully accepted her. Maya Angelou The late writer and social activist has already received a presidential Medal of Freedom,won a National Book Award,and published more than 30 bestselling poems.Angelou's coin will show her with her arms lifted,in front of a bird in flight and a rising sun.Those images are inspired by her poetry and symbolic of the way she lived.Scholars analyze that her works frequently explored themes of resilience and hope,mirroring her own life journey marked by overcoming hardships. Sally Ride The late astronaut,physicist and educator is best known as the first American woman-and youngest American-to travel to space.After her retirement,she devoted herself to inspiring young people,particularly girls,in science, engineering,technology and maths.Her coin design shows her standing next to a window on a spaceship,which is inspired by what she once said."When I wasn't working,I was usually at a window looking down at Earth. 【高二英语第1页（共8页）】 Wilma Mankiller Mankiller was the first elected female chief of the Cherokee Nation in 1987, and is celebrated as an activist for Native American and women's rights.Under her leadership,infant death rate declined and educational levels rose.Mankiller's coin shows her in a traditional dress in front of the seven-pointed star of the Cherokee Nation.Historians emphasize that her leadership style was both inclusive() and decisive,bringing about substantial changes for her people. 1.What can we infer about Anna May Wong from the text?

B In the 1986 America's Cup sailing race,a tough competition unfolded between the United States team and the Australian team. The Australian team had won the race multiple times before.Determined to take back the trophy ()the US team gathered plentiful capital and top sailors.They even designed a high-speed sailboat,making their goal of winning clear.When the race started,the US team took the lead right away.By the time they were just four nautical miles from the finish line,they were already three nautical miles ahead of the australian team.It seemed victory was within their grasp. However,the wind direction at sea suddenly changed at this critical moment. The US team was now faced with a tough choice:should they adjust the sail angle?You see,there are two types of wind at sea-gusts and cyclones.If it was a gust,adjusting the sail would be the right move.But if it was a cyclone,any adjustment would be useless,as cyclones change direction constantly.Relying on his years of experience,the US team's old captain decided it was a gust and ordered the crew to adjust the sail. Sadly,his judgment was wrong.It turned out to be a gust-like cyclone.The US sailboat spun(around in place,wasting valuable time.Meanwhile,the Australian team chose not to adjust their sail and quickly caught up.In the end, the Australian team overtook the US team when they were just one nautical mile from the finish line and won the championship. After the race,most media blamed the old captain for the US loss.But a game theory expert had a different view.He said that in an uncertain situation, the US team shouldn't have tried to judge the wind direction accurately.Instead, they should have watched the Australian team's actions.If the Australians didn't adjust their sail,the US team shouldn't have either.That way,they could have kept their lead. 【高二英语第2页（共8页）】 4.Why might the US team take the lead at the start?

C.It is never too old to learn and create.D.Trust the captain. 7.What would be the most suitable title for the text? A.The Unpredictable Sea Winds B.A Race Lost at the Last Mile C.America's Cup Sailing Race D.The Role of Experience in Sailing C A 14-year study of over 90,000 adults presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress has revealed that "catch-up sleep"on weekends can reduce heart disease risk by up to 20%0. The research,led by cardiovascular(心血管的)scientists from China's Fuwai Hospital,tracked participants through the UK Biobank.It found that those who got the most compensatory(补偿的)weekend sleep were 19%less likely to develop heart disease compared to those who maintained consistent but insufficient sleep schedules. The protective effect was most dramatic for the 20%0 of participants classified as sleep-deprived-those getting fewer than seven hours nightly during weekdays. A separate NHANES study of 3,400 Americans confirmed these findings. It showed that weekend catch-up sleep duration of more than 2 hours was strongly associated with reduced cardiovascular disease prevalence when weekday sleep fell below six hours.But here's what makes this discovery revolutionary:it directly challenges decades of sleep medicine orthodoxy(正统观念). Experts have long emphasized maintaining regular sleep to maintain circadian rhythms.This research suggests that for individuals suffering from long-term lack of sleep,sleeping in on weekends may be more protective than maintaining a regular but insufficient sleep pattern. The study found specific reductions in stroke and coronary heart disease among weekend sleepers.Dr.Jim Liu from Ohio State University's Wexner Medical Center explains the mechanism:"Insufficient sleep can increase the risk of developing hypertension,obesity,arrhythmias,and coronary artery disease.On the other hand,making up for lost sleep can reduce such risks." The American Heart Association now considers sleep one of the core components of heart health,ranking it alongside diet,exercise,and smoking cessation. With one in three American adults reporting insufficient daily sleep,this research suggests that weekend recovery sleep might serve as a erucial cardiac safety net for millions of people who are always tired. 【高二英语第3页（共8页）】 8.Which group can benefit most from weekend catch-up sleep?

D The model called Agua Prope,meaning clean water,was presented by a team of middle school students from Houston.At the future City Nationals in Washington DC,the students'goal was to build a city with a clean and reliable water supply.Many members on the Houston team have roots in Karachi, Pakistan largest and most contaminated(被污染的)city,where water shortages and access to clean water are a constant problem. Karachi is quite underdeveloped now.Unlike in America,a lot of people are on the streets-they don't have water to drink or they're drinking contaminated water.It's very hard to even take showers over the day.The government in Karachi says the city supplies only half of the water it needs daily.The consequences of Pakistan's water problems are heartbreaking.UNICEF reports every year 53 thousand children die of diarrhea caused by drinking contaminated water. Students on the Houston team say their model includes a stable system,which monitors supply and demand,storage,filtration ()and diversion of conventional as well as flood waters across the Jacksonville landscape. The project Agua Prope is located in Jacksonville Florida,where the main problems are storm surges,hurricanes and floods.Actually a lot of problems caused by water shortage and pollution are going on internationally right now, especially in coastal cities.There,limited access to clean drinking water,or drinking contaminated water may lead to developmental disorders and cancer- related issues. Agua Prope model won the People's Choice Award based on voting by the general public,and the best futuristic city award.This model calls for technology so advanced that it will be decades before it can be put into effect.But the students say they hope one day within the next 50 years their vision of a clean water city will become a reality. 12.Why did the students choose to focus on water problems? A.Their teacher forced them to choose this topic. B.Water problems are rare in their hometown. C.Many of them come from a city with serious water shortages. D.They wanted to win an international science competition. 【高二英语第4页（共8页）】 13.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A.The effects of contaminated water in Karachi. B.The seriousness of water problems in Karachi. C.The solutions to water problems in Karachi. D.The history of water supply in Pakistan. 14.What problems does Jacksonville face? A.Earthquakes and droughts. B.Floods and hurricanes. C.Volcanic eruptions and storms. D.Sandstorms and water shortages. 15.What can we infer about the Agua Prope model from the last paragraph? A.It is already being used in some cities. B.It will be built in Jacksonville first. C.It is not yet possible to build with current technology. D.It is too expensive for any city to afford. 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中 有两项为多余选项。 Poetry,with its rhythmic language and layered meanings,invites readers to explore emotions,ideas,and beauty beyond the literal.To fully engage with a poem,consider these methods to deepen your appreciation and understanding. Read aloud for rhythm and sound. 16 Read the poem aloud slowly.Notice the rhythm,rhymes,or repeating sounds.For example,Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven uses a tense beat, while Langston Hughes'Dreams has a gentle flow.Do they sound cheerful,sad, or urgent?The "music"of a poem often mirrors its mood. 17 Understanding a poem's historical,cultural,or biographical context enriches interpretation.It will help you a lot to find out when the poem was written or what the poet's life was like.But don't stress-even a quick Google search can add meaning. Accept confusion. Poems don't always have one right explanation.18 Maybe Shakespeare's Sonnet 1.8 is both a love poem and a joke about cliches(陈词滥调).Discuss with classmates-different views make poems more interesting!Let uncertainty spark curiosity. Connect the poem to your life. Let your emotions guide your understanding.If a line reminds you of a personal experience,write down your thoughts or share them with a friend. 19 Poetry isn't just about analysis-it's about feeling and imagination. Appreciating poetry is both an art and a practice-requiring attention to form, context,and personal reflection.As Eliot wrote,poetry "communicates before it is understood",inviting us to return,rethink,and rediscover its magic endlessly. 20 A.Poems are meant to be heard. B.Learn the background of the poem. C.Compare poems by different authors. D.Poetry is alive when it speaks to you. E.Practise memorizing some famous lines. F.If a line feels puzzling,write down your guesses. G.Grab a poem,read it aloud,and let yourself enjoy the magic of it. 【高二英语第5页（共8页）】 第二部分语言运用（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人空白处的最 佳选项。 On a warm afternoon,my four-year-old son,Wilson,and I headed to the beach,our favourite evening escape.
