广州市实验外语学校 2025-2026学年第二学期期中测试 高二年级 英语试题 (满分130分, 考试用时120分钟) 第一部分．阅读理解 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节 阅读理解（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和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Yes, There’s a Museum for That! Museums have changed. We’ll always have the Met in New York and the Louvre in Paris, but nowadays you’ll find a museum for absolutely everything and everyone. The following are some of the most fascinating museums based on their community importance, level of enjoyment, and the beauty of the collections. Museum of Motherhood (MOM) St. Petersburg, Florida The Museum of Motherhood is the first of its kind — a museum and educational center covering the art, science and history of mothers. “I watched a couple of kids from the local high school try on the pregnancy vests groaning (抱怨),” says museum founder Martha Joy Rose. “Within five minutes, they begged to take them off.” National Comedy Center (NCC) Jamestown, New York Based in Lucille Ball’s hometown, this museum features exhibits such as Jerry Seinfeld’s puffy shirt and Joan Rivers’s card catalog of 65,000 jokes. “Before visitors go through the entrance, they create their ‘sense of humor profile,’” says executive director Journey Gunderson. “They choose what they find funny, and the data is collected on a digital chip they wear on a wrist called a LaughBand so that the comedy content is customized based on their personal taste.” Museum of Bad Art (MOBA) Boston, Massachusetts MOBA collects, exhibits and celebrates art that will be shown in no other museum. The museum’s new location, in the Dorchester Brewing Co., assumes visitors would need a drink after seeing this work. Highlights include Lucy in the Field with Flowers, a painting found in 1993 leaning against a trash bin, waiting for garbage collection. A low point — and a must-see — is the painting Our Lady of Endless Housework. 1. What can be the main purpose of Museum of Motherhood? A. To build social bonds among teenagers. B. To offer parenting guidance for mothers. C. To showcase art work created by mothers. D. To deepen societal appreciation for motherhood. 2. How does NCC personalize their visitors’ experiences? A. By using visitor preferences. B. By introducing wine industry. C. By surveying the visitors’ needs. D. By applying interactive technology. 3. What do these museums have in common? A. They grow out of unique ideas. B. They focus on community values. C. They house priceless cultural treasures. D. They aim to refine artistic sensibilities. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了几个各具特色的博物馆及其特点。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Museum of Motherhood (MOM)部分中的“The Museum of Motherhood is the first of its kind — a museum and educational center covering the art, science and history of mothers.(母亲博物馆是同类博物馆中的第一个——一个涵盖母亲艺术、科学和历史的博物馆和教育中心)”可知，母亲博物馆是第一个此类博物馆，是一个涵盖母亲的艺术、科学和历史的教育中心，由此可知，母亲博物馆的主要目的是加深社会对母性的欣赏。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据National Comedy Center (NCC)部分中的““Before visitors go through the entrance, they create their ‘sense of humor profile,’” says executive director Journey Gunderson. “They choose what they find funny, and the data is collected on a digital chip they wear on a wrist called a LaughBand so that the comedy content is customized based on their personal taste.”(执行董事Journey Gunderson说：“在游客通过入口之前，他们会创建自己的‘幽默感档案’。”。“他们选择他们觉得有趣的东西，数据收集在他们戴在手腕上的一个叫做LaughBand的数字芯片上，这样喜剧内容就可以根据他们的个人品味进行定制。”)”可知，NCC博物馆依据游客喜好个性化定制体验。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Museums have changed. We’ll always have the Met in New York and the Louvre in Paris, but nowadays you’ll find a museum for absolutely everything and everyone. The following are some of the most fascinating museums based on their community importance, level of enjoyment, and the beauty of the collections.(博物馆已经发生了变化。我们总是有纽约的大都会博物馆和巴黎的卢浮宫，但现在你会发现适合各种事物和所有人的博物馆。以下是一些最迷人的博物馆，基于其社区重要性、享受程度和藏品之美)”以及结合下文可知，这几个博物馆都是基于独特的想法而建立的。故选A。 B When I first came across Hirono, he didn’t really stand out to me. He was among several figurines (小雕像) tucked away in a corner of Pop Mart’s studio. They seemed subtle, almost unassuming, and I didn’t give them much thought at the time. Little did I know, that was the beginning of a connection I was about to discover. It wasn’t until I joined Pop Mart as a livestream host last July — as part of my job to learn about every IP in the company — that my true journey with Hirono began. I still remember the very first set of figures I sold during my first livestream session: Hirono’s “Shelter” series. This once-distant, unnoticed figure suddenly became the centerpiece of my work. As I introduced Hirono to others, I began to appreciate the quiet charm hidden in his world. His expression is always sullen — drooping eyes, slouched posture, an almost “untouchable” aura. Not the cutest or most eye-catching look, I would say, but I came to realize that it’s all a protective shell. In him, I saw a reflection of myself: the loneliness and confusion that surface under life’s pressure, and the indifferent masks we sometimes put on to cope with reality. Though I am usually an extrovert, cheerful and bubbly on the outside, the truth is that every story carries untold chapters. Through Hirono, I allow myself to feel the vast wilderness deep within my heart, and often I see my own emotions projected onto his figure. One of my favorite series is definitely “Echo”. As a foreign student in China, homesickness quietly lingers in the background of my life. This series reminds me that these echoes of the past are not just fleeting shadows, but silent companions that resurface when I need them most, giving me strength and allowing me to break free from the weight of reality, even just for a moment. To me, Hirono is a friend who teaches me to embrace both the loneliness and the light within. 4. What does the underlined word “unassuming” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Not trying to attract attention. B. Difficult to understand. C. Poorly made or designed. D. Strangely shaped. 5. What caused the author to start getting to know Hirono? A. Seeing Hirono in a corner of the studio. B. Working as a livestream host at Pop Mart. C. Selling Hirono’s “Shelter” series online. D. Being attracted by Hirono’s expression. 6. Why did the author’s view of Hirono change? A. Presenting the figure to others. B. Understanding its protective shell. C. Connecting with the “Echo” series. D. Seeing himself in the figure. 7. What does the author’s experience show? A. Accept your lonely moments. B. Face your inner self. C. Embrace who you truly are. D. Know yourself first. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。主要讲述作者作为主播在介绍Hirono手办的过程中，与其产生情感共鸣，学会接纳内心的自己。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“He was among several figurines (小雕像) tucked away in a corner of Pop Mart’s studio. They seemed subtle, almost unassuming, and I didn’t give them much thought at the time. (他和几个小雕像一起被放在泡泡玛特工作室的角落里。它们看起来很不起眼，几乎unassuming，我当时并没有太在意。)”可知，这些雕像被放在角落、造型低调，不会刻意吸引人注意，作者也没有多加关注，因此画线词“unassuming”的意思是“不试图吸引注意力”。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It wasn’t until I joined Pop Mart as a livestream host last July — as part of my job to learn about every IP in the company — that my true journey with Hirono began. (直到去年7月我加入泡泡玛特成为主播，作为工作的一部分要了解公司的每个IP，我和Hirono的真正故事才开始。)”可知，作者成为泡泡玛特主播后，因工作需要才开始了解Hirono。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“In him, I saw a reflection of myself: the loneliness and confusion that surface under life’s pressure, and the indifferent masks we sometimes put on to cope with reality.(在他身上，我看到了自己的影子：生活压力下浮现的孤独与迷茫，以及我们为应对现实而戴上的冷漠面具。)”可知，作者在雕像身上看到了自己，因此对Hirono的看法发生了改变。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中的“To me, Hirono is a friend who teaches me to embrace both the loneliness and the light within.(对我来说，Hirono是一个朋友，教会我接纳内心的孤独与光亮。)”可知，作者的经历告诉我们要拥抱真实的自己，接纳内心的全部。故选C项。 C Jason Wood was sitting in a restaurant on vacation, angry and upset because he couldn’t replace pita (皮塔饼) with fresh vegetables in his plate. He was told the menu couldn’t be altered. Wood has orthorexia, an eating disorder that isn’t in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) , which is the formal guide for clinical assessment of mental health conditions. But clinicians are seeing a rise in orthorexia among patients, said therapist Jennifer Rollin. Orthorexia is a fixation on eating “clean,” as defined by a set of rules dependent on certain individuals and the context they live in, said Dr. Jennifer Gaudiani, an eating disorder physician. A November 2023 study found that about 3 in 10 participants showed signs of orthorexia. Often, this disorder goes unnoticed or underestimated because it’s focused on healthy eating, said Wood, director of community engagement at the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders. Over the years, Wood said his list of unhealthy foods grew and those considered healthy kept shrinking (缩小) until he found himself leaving parties because he couldn’t find anything he would allow himself to eat — and that left him with a lot of anxiety, he said. The motivations people with orthorexia may have, as well as the approbation society gives them, might be labeled as health promotion or disease prevention, but often they are excuses for a “pure, old-fashioned diet culture,” which prioritizes one ideal body shape and size, Gaudiani said. If you or a loved one needs help for orthorexia, the good news is that treatment follows a similar path to established plans for eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia nervosa. “People with orthorexia may find themselves with a team that includes therapists and dietitians, similar to patients in treatment for other eating disorders,” Rollin said. “But those living with orthorexia will also likely face the added layer of unpacking their definition of health and reframing their ideas around it in a challenging way,” she added. 8. Why was Jason Wood annoyed while he was on vacation? A. His special dietary request was refused. B. His vacation plans were altered unexpectedly. C. He was charged extra for the restaurant service. D. He found it challenging to make food decisions. 9. Why does orthorexia often go unnoticed according to Jason Wood? A. It is a time-honored way of living. B. It is often self-defined by individuals. C. It rarely leads to severe health issues. D. It places a high value on a healthy diet. 10. What does the underlined word “approbation” in paragraph 5 most probably mean? A. Concern. B. Promise. C. Praise. D. Intolerance. 11. What challenge does Jennifer Rollin think orthorexia patients face? A. Adapting to unfamiliar dietary plans. B. Reframing their understanding of health. C. Finding a specialist treating eating disorders. D. Balancing treatment with daily responsibilities. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章以Jason Wood为例，介绍了健康食品强迫症这种饮食失调症，包括其表现、易被忽视的原因、社会认知及治疗面临的挑战。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Jason Wood was sitting in a restaurant on vacation, angry and upset because he couldn’t replace pita (皮塔饼) with fresh vegetables in his plate. He was told the menu couldn’t be altered. (Jason Wood度假时坐在一家餐厅里，又生气又沮丧，因为他不能把盘子里的皮塔饼换成新鲜蔬菜。他被告知菜单不能更改。)”可知，Jason Wood生气是因为他特殊的饮食要求被拒绝了。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Often, this disorder goes unnoticed or underestimated because it’s focused on healthy eating, said Wood (伍德说，这种疾病往往不被注意或低估，因为它专注于健康饮食)”可知，这种饮食失调症易被忽视是因为它高度重视健康饮食。故选D项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“The motivations people with orthorexia may have, as well as the approbation society gives them, might be labeled as health promotion or disease prevention, but often they are excuses for a “pure, old-fashioned diet culture (健康食品强迫症患者的动机以及社会对他们的approbation，或许会被冠以 “促进健康”或“预防疾病” 之名，但这些往往只是为所谓“纯粹传统饮食文化”找借口)”中“be labeled as health promotion or disease prevention”可推知，社会对健康食品强迫症患者的行为是一种认可或赞扬。故划线词意为“赞扬；认可”，与“Praise”同义。故选C项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“But those living with orthorexia will also likely face the added layer of unpacking their definition of health and reframing their ideas around it in a challenging way (但那些患有健康饮食强迫症的人还可能面临另一层挑战：以困难的方式解构他们对健康的定义，并重新构建关于健康的观念)”可知，詹妮弗·罗林认为患者面临的挑战是重新构建他们对健康的理解。故选B项。 D In our era of constant digital distraction, a wave of “focus apps” promises to help us reclaim our productivity by blocking interruptions and using gamification (游戏化) to encourage deep work. But do these apps truly help, or are they just another form of digital noise? The main challenge to focus is self-regulation. When a task feels boring or stressful, we naturally seek relief, often turning to our smartphones. While there’s little evidence that our inborn ability to focus has declined, habits like multitasking and frequent digital interruptions can make us more easily distracted. To fight this, apps like the popular “Focus Friend” have emerged. These apps employ psychological principles to guide behavior. “Focus Friend,” for example, uses a virtual character that knits (编织) peacefully as you work. If you open a banned app, the knitting comes undone. If you complete a focus session, this system uses immediate rewards, like digital items for your character, to make up for your devotion to the potentially unpleasant work. It also uses the “commitment and consistency” principle — starting a timer feels like a promise to yourself, which you’re then motivated to keep. However, scientific research on their effectiveness is limited. One study found that while users enjoyed gamified apps, they didn’t often use them and found simpler strategies (like setting a phone to greyscale (灰度模式)) more effective for reducing usage. High app store ratings for “Focus Friend” suggest user enjoyment, but enjoyment doesn’t necessarily translate to improved focus or output quality. If you decide to try a focus app, use it wisely. Schedule specific sessions for well-defined tasks, and notice the urge to check your phone without acting on it. After a week, critically assess if the app helped you make real progress. Be mindful of possible problems: these apps can’t judge your work’s value, so you might stay “focused” on unimportant tasks. Ultimately, while an app can help handle the pull of your phone, lasting focus requires internal discipline — learning to notice sudden distracting wants and consciously choosing to return to what matters. 12. What can be inferred from the second paragraph? A. Smartphones are the main source of distraction. B. Our natural focus ability has greatly weakened. C. Self-discipline lies at the heart of focus problems. D. Multitasking is an effective way to get work done. 13. How does “Focus Friend” try to guide users’ behavior? A. By completely blocking access to a banned app. B. By using psychological tricks and instant rewards. C. By offering professional consulting sessions. D. By simplifying phone functions to grayscale mode. 14. What’s the author’s attitude towards the current research on focus apps? A. Strongly supportive. B. Cautiously doubtful. C. Clearly disapproving. D. Fully convinced. 15. What would be the best title for the text? A. Focus Apps: Productivity Tools or Digital Noise? B. Focus Apps: Effective Solutions or Passing Trends? C. The Psychological Principles Behind Focus Apps D. The Limitations of Gamified Focus Apps 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了专注力应用程序的作用、原理、研究情况及使用建议 。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The main challenge to focus is self-regulation. When a task feels boring or stressful, we naturally seek relief, often turning to our smartphones. (专注面临的主要挑战是自我调节。当一项任务让人感到无聊或有压力时，我们自然会寻求解脱，通常会求助于智能手机。)”可知，自我约束是专注问题的核心。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“These apps employ psychological principles to guide behavior. “Focus Friend,” for example, uses a virtual character that knits (编织) peacefully as you work. If you open a banned app, the knitting comes undone. If you complete a focus session, this system uses immediate rewards, like digital items for your character, to make up for your devotion to the potentially unpleasant work. (这些应用程序运用心理学原理来引导行为。例如，“专注伙伴”使用一个虚拟角色，在你工作时安静地编织。如果你打开一个被禁止的应用程序，编织就会解开。如果你完成了一个专注时段，这个系统会使用即时奖励，比如为你的角色提供数字物品，来弥补你对可能令人不快的工作的投入。)”可知，“专注伙伴”通过心理技巧和即时奖励来引导用户行为。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“However, scientific research on their effectiveness is limited. One study found that while users enjoyed gamified apps, they didn’t often use them and found simpler strategies (like setting a phone to greyscale (灰度模式)) more effective for reducing usage. High app store ratings for “Focus Friend” suggest user enjoyment, but enjoyment doesn’t necessarily translate to improved focus or output quality. (然而，关于它们有效性的科学研究有限。一项研究发现，虽然用户喜欢游戏化的应用程序，但他们并不经常使用，而且发现更简单的策略（比如将手机设置为灰度模式）对减少使用更有效。“专注伙伴”在应用商店的高评分表明用户喜欢，但喜欢并不一定意味着专注力或输出质量有所提高。)”可知，作者对目前关于专注力应用程序的研究持谨慎怀疑态度。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“In our era of constant digital distraction, a wave of “focus apps” promises to help us reclaim our productivity by blocking interruptions and using gamification (游戏化) to encourage deep work. But do these apps truly help, or are they just another form of digital noise? (在我们这个不断受到数字干扰的时代，一波“专注力应用程序”承诺通过屏蔽干扰和使用游戏化来鼓励深度工作，帮助我们恢复生产力。但这些应用程序真的有帮助吗，还是它们只是另一种形式的数字噪音？)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讨论了专注力应用程序是生产力工具还是数字噪音，所以“专注力应用：生产力工具还是数字噪音？”适合作为文章标题。故选A项。 第二节. 七选五（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有两项为多余选项。 When mastering a foreign language, many people believe that talent is the key to success. You’ve probably heard someone say, “I’m just not good at languages.” But is this really true? ____16____ The short answer: Talent plays a minor role. The belief that language learning requires talent often discourages many people from even trying. ____17____ Many multilingual speakers owe their success to disciplined practice, not natural ability. Research supports this view. The 10,000-Hour Rule suggests mastery requires repeated practice. ____18____ In this way, you can expand vocabulary and understand grammar better. Furthermore, motivation and self-discipline are better predictors of success than talent. So how can you master a language without talent? You can start by setting realistic goals. Break your journey into manageable steps, like learning 10 new words daily. ____19____ Make practice an essential part of your routine, whether for 15 minutes or an hour. Additionally, you will find yourself benefiting greatly from active learning techniques like shadowing native speakers and testing yourself with flashcards. Finally, take full advantage of immersive learning by watching shows in your target language or changing your phone’s language settings. ____20____ Research shows that consistency, persistence, and effective strategies are the true keys to success. Language learning isn’t about being born gifted — it’s about showing up and doing the work every day. A. Do you need natural talent to master a language? B. You can’t master a language without repeated practice. C. Hard work combined with talent without doubt pays off. D. Consistency is vitally important in language learning as well. E. It means regular exposure to listening, speaking, reading and writing. F. In short, the idea that talent is necessary to master a language is simply a myth. G. While natural talent might give some a head start, it’s far from the deciding factor. 【答案】16. A 17. G 18. E 19. D 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章反驳语言学习靠天赋的观点，指出坚持、自律与有效方法才是关键。 【16题详解】 上文“But is this really true?(但这是真的吗？)”对语言学习需要天赋提出疑问。空后“The short answer: Talent plays a minor role.(简短答案：天赋作用很小)”直接给出问题答案。空处和前文为顺接关系，提出核心疑问。选项A“Do you need natural talent to master a language?(掌握一门语言需要天赋吗？)”以设问句引出下文回答，与后文“The short answer”形成明确问答提示，衔接紧密。故选A。 【17题详解】 上文“The belief that language learning requires talent often discourages many people from even trying.(认为学语言需天赋的想法让很多人不敢尝试)”说明天赋论带来的消极影响。空后“Many multilingual speakers owe their success to disciplined practice, not natural ability.(多语言者成功靠自律练习而非天赋)”强调天赋并非关键。空处和前后文为转折过渡关系，表明天赋并非决定因素。选项G“While natural talent might give some a head start, it’s far from the deciding factor.(天赋或许让人起步快，但绝非决定因素)”先让步承认天赋作用，再转折否定其重要性，与后文否定天赋的观点形成提示呼应。故选G。 【18题详解】 上文“The 10,000-Hour Rule suggests mastery requires repeated practice.(一万小时定律表明精通需要反复练习)”提出反复练习的重要性。空后“In this way, you can expand vocabulary and understand grammar better.(这样能扩充词汇、更好理解语法)”说明练习带来的效果。空处和前文为解释关系，具体说明反复练习的方式。选项E“It means regular exposure to listening, speaking, reading and writing.(这意味着经常接触听说读写)”符合语境。E选项中的“It”指代前文的“repeated practice”，后文“In this way”又指代该选项内容，前后文均有明确指代提示。故选E。 【19题详解】 上文“Break your journey into manageable steps, like learning 10 new words daily.(把学习拆成可行步骤，如每天学10个单词)”讲述设定目标、拆分学习任务。空后“Make practice an essential part of your routine, whether for 15 minutes or an hour.(将练习纳入你的日常安排中，无论时间是15分钟还是1小时都行)”强调要坚持练习。空处和前后文为递进关系，引出坚持的重要性。选项D“Consistency is vitally important in language learning as well.(坚持在语言学习中也至关重要)”符合语境。D选项提出“Consistency”，与后文“routine”形成同义提示，契合上下文语境。故选D。 【20题详解】 下文“Research shows that consistency, persistence, and effective strategies are the true keys to success.(研究表明坚持、毅力和有效方法才是成功关键)”总结语言学习的真正关键。空处和后文为总结关系，对天赋论进行总结否定。选项F“In short, the idea that talent is necessary to master a language is simply a myth.(简而言之，学语言需天赋的观点只是谬论)”符合语境。F选项以“In short”表明总结，与后文总结全文的逻辑形成提示，契合段落功能。故选F。 第二部分 语言知识及应用 第一节: 完形填空 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) Shopping seems not to be a pleasant experience for me now.

I watched unboxing videos, ____26____ endless online comments, and learned about dryers. For the next hour, I questioned everything: energy ____27____, maintenance costs, and the supposed convenience of owning one.

I crossed the bridge, handed over 4,000 yuan and clicked “Confirm Order”. But the moment I made the ____29____, a strange unease settled over me. Was it a ____30____ choice, or did I just fall into a trap that seemed too attractive? The stress from this purchase seemed to have ____31____ my sleep. I stayed awake that whole night. The constant ____32____ to make the “right” choice feels unbearable. Growing public ____33____, better education, and increasingly advanced product variations have ____34____ transformed shopping into a complex decision-making process.

She spent every weekend taking care of them, and the garden was always in perfect order, a little paradise in our busy life. Last month, I was given a summer project for school that required me to build a small wooden shelf. I was in a hurry to finish it and thought the backyard was the perfect place to work, so I spread out my tools, wood and paint all over the grass, right next to mom’s flower beds. I was so focused on my project that I didn’t notice how much I’d messed up the garden. I stepped on some small young plants, spilled a little paint on the rose leaves, and even broke a few flower pots by accident. When mom came back home from her morning walk, she saw the mess and her face turned pale. She didn’t shout at me, but just stood there quietly, looking at her ruined garden with tears in her eyes. I felt a little annoyed at first — she was overreacting, I thought. I finished my shelf quickly and cleaned up the mess carelessly, not saying a single sorry to her. Since then, mom hasn’t stepped into the backyard much. She no longer talks about her plants with me, and the once warm atmosphere between us has turned cold. Every time I see the empty garden and mom’s quiet figure, I feel guilty, but my pride stops me from apologizing. One afternoon, I sat on the porch and watched mom stare at the damaged rose bush through the window, and I knew I had to do something. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 I finally realized how selfish and thoughtless I had been. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With a small potted rose and a handwritten note, I walked slowly to mom’s room. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I finally realized how selfish and thoughtless I had been. The garden wasn’t just dirt to Mom; it was her shelter. I had trampled on her joy simply because I was too lazy to find another workspace. My project was finished, but the cost was our relationship. I couldn’t let my pride keep us apart any longer. I went to the local nursery to buy a replacement for the rose bush I had broken. Then, I spent the next few hours carefully clearing the debris, loosening the compacted earth, and replanting the flowers with as much care as Mom usually did. I wanted to show her that I understood the value of her hard work. With a small potted rose and a handwritten note, I walked slowly to mom’s room. My heart pounded against my ribs as I knocked gently on the door. Mom opened it, looking surprised to see me holding the plant. “Mom, I am so sorry,” I said, my voice trembling slightly. “I was selfish and didn’t respect your garden. I tried to fix the backyard, but I wanted you to have this.” I handed her the note which read, “I promise to protect your paradise from now on.” Her eyes softened, and she pulled me into a tight hug. The coldness between us melted away, replaced by the warmth of forgiveness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以妈妈的花园为线索展开，讲述了妈妈热爱园艺，后院是她的骄傲和乐趣。作者为完成学校夏季项目，在院子里随意摆放工具、干活，不小心破坏了妈妈的花园，却没有道歉，导致母子间气氛变冷。后来作者意识到自己的自私和粗心，决心弥补过错，最终向妈妈道歉并获得原谅的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我终于意识到自己是多么自私和轻率。”可知，第一段写作者明白花园对妈妈的重要性，去苗圃买了新的玫瑰苗，花时间清理花园、重新种植，决心弥补过错。 ②由第二段首句内容“我拿着一盆小玫瑰和一张手写便条，慢慢走向妈妈的房间。”可知，第二段写作者向妈妈道歉，递上玫瑰和便条，妈妈原谅了她，母子间的隔阂消失，重拾温暖。 2.续写线索：认识错误——明白花园意义——买苗弥补——清理种植——道歉送花——获得原谅——重拾温暖 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①毁坏：trample on/ruin/crush ②购买：buy/purchase ③颤抖：tremble/shake/shiver 情绪类 ①快乐：joy/happiness/delight ②惊讶：surprised/astonished 4.【点睛】 [高分句型1] Mom opened it, looking surprised to see me holding the plant.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2] I handed her the note which read, “I promise to protect your paradise from now on.”（which引导定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 广州市实验外语学校 2025-2026学年第二学期期中测试 高二年级 英语试题 (满分130分, 考试用时120分钟) 第一部分．阅读理解 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节 阅读理解（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和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Yes, There’s a Museum for That! Museums have changed. We’ll always have the Met in New York and the Louvre in Paris, but nowadays you’ll find a museum for absolutely everything and everyone. The following are some of the most fascinating museums based on their community importance, level of enjoyment, and the beauty of the collections. Museum of Motherhood (MOM) St. Petersburg, Florida The Museum of Motherhood is the first of its kind — a museum and educational center covering the art, science and history of mothers. “I watched a couple of kids from the local high school try on the pregnancy vests groaning (抱怨),” says museum founder Martha Joy Rose. “Within five minutes, they begged to take them off.” National Comedy Center (NCC) Jamestown, New York Based in Lucille Ball’s hometown, this museum features exhibits such as Jerry Seinfeld’s puffy shirt and Joan Rivers’s card catalog of 65,000 jokes. “Before visitors go through the entrance, they create their ‘sense of humor profile,’” says executive director Journey Gunderson. “They choose what they find funny, and the data is collected on a digital chip they wear on a wrist called a LaughBand so that the comedy content is customized based on their personal taste.” Museum of Bad Art (MOBA) Boston, Massachusetts MOBA collects, exhibits and celebrates art that will be shown in no other museum. The museum’s new location, in the Dorchester Brewing Co., assumes visitors would need a drink after seeing this work. Highlights include Lucy in the Field with Flowers, a painting found in 1993 leaning against a trash bin, waiting for garbage collection. A low point — and a must-see — is the painting Our Lady of Endless Housework. 1. What can be the main purpose of Museum of Motherhood? A. To build social bonds among teenagers. B. To offer parenting guidance for mothers. C. To showcase art work created by mothers. D. To deepen societal appreciation for motherhood. 2. How does NCC personalize their visitors’ experiences? A. By using visitor preferences. B. By introducing wine industry. C. By surveying the visitors’ needs. D. By applying interactive technology. 3. What do these museums have in common? A. They grow out of unique ideas. B. They focus on community values. C. They house priceless cultural treasures. D. They aim to refine artistic sensibilities. B When I first came across Hirono, he didn’t really stand out to me. He was among several figurines (小雕像) tucked away in a corner of Pop Mart’s studio. They seemed subtle, almost unassuming, and I didn’t give them much thought at the time. Little did I know, that was the beginning of a connection I was about to discover. It wasn’t until I joined Pop Mart as a livestream host last July — as part of my job to learn about every IP in the company — that my true journey with Hirono began. I still remember the very first set of figures I sold during my first livestream session: Hirono’s “Shelter” series. This once-distant, unnoticed figure suddenly became the centerpiece of my work. As I introduced Hirono to others, I began to appreciate the quiet charm hidden in his world. His expression is always sullen — drooping eyes, slouched posture, an almost “untouchable” aura. Not the cutest or most eye-catching look, I would say, but I came to realize that it’s all a protective shell. In him, I saw a reflection of myself: the loneliness and confusion that surface under life’s pressure, and the indifferent masks we sometimes put on to cope with reality. Though I am usually an extrovert, cheerful and bubbly on the outside, the truth is that every story carries untold chapters. Through Hirono, I allow myself to feel the vast wilderness deep within my heart, and often I see my own emotions projected onto his figure. One of my favorite series is definitely “Echo”. As a foreign student in China, homesickness quietly lingers in the background of my life. This series reminds me that these echoes of the past are not just fleeting shadows, but silent companions that resurface when I need them most, giving me strength and allowing me to break free from the weight of reality, even just for a moment. To me, Hirono is a friend who teaches me to embrace both the loneliness and the light within. 4. What does the underlined word “unassuming” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Not trying to attract attention. B. Difficult to understand. C. Poorly made or designed. D. Strangely shaped. 5. What caused the author to start getting to know Hirono? A. Seeing Hirono in a corner of the studio. B. Working as a livestream host at Pop Mart. C. Selling Hirono’s “Shelter” series online. D. Being attracted by Hirono’s expression. 6. Why did the author’s view of Hirono change? A. Presenting the figure to others. B. Understanding its protective shell. C. Connecting with the “Echo” series. D. Seeing himself in the figure. 7. What does the author’s experience show? A. Accept your lonely moments. B. Face your inner self. C. Embrace who you truly are. D. Know yourself first. C Jason Wood was sitting in a restaurant on vacation, angry and upset because he couldn’t replace pita (皮塔饼) with fresh vegetables in his plate. He was told the menu couldn’t be altered. Wood has orthorexia, an eating disorder that isn’t in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) , which is the formal guide for clinical assessment of mental health conditions. But clinicians are seeing a rise in orthorexia among patients, said therapist Jennifer Rollin. Orthorexia is a fixation on eating “clean,” as defined by a set of rules dependent on certain individuals and the context they live in, said Dr. Jennifer Gaudiani, an eating disorder physician. A November 2023 study found that about 3 in 10 participants showed signs of orthorexia. Often, this disorder goes unnoticed or underestimated because it’s focused on healthy eating, said Wood, director of community engagement at the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders. Over the years, Wood said his list of unhealthy foods grew and those considered healthy kept shrinking (缩小) until he found himself leaving parties because he couldn’t find anything he would allow himself to eat — and that left him with a lot of anxiety, he said. The motivations people with orthorexia may have, as well as the approbation society gives them, might be labeled as health promotion or disease prevention, but often they are excuses for a “pure, old-fashioned diet culture,” which prioritizes one ideal body shape and size, Gaudiani said. If you or a loved one needs help for orthorexia, the good news is that treatment follows a similar path to established plans for eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia nervosa. “People with orthorexia may find themselves with a team that includes therapists and dietitians, similar to patients in treatment for other eating disorders,” Rollin said. “But those living with orthorexia will also likely face the added layer of unpacking their definition of health and reframing their ideas around it in a challenging way,” she added. 8. Why was Jason Wood annoyed while he was on vacation? A. His special dietary request was refused. B. His vacation plans were altered unexpectedly. C. He was charged extra for the restaurant service. D. He found it challenging to make food decisions. 9. Why does orthorexia often go unnoticed according to Jason Wood? A. It is a time-honored way of living. B. It is often self-defined by individuals. C. It rarely leads to severe health issues. D. It places a high value on a healthy diet. 10. What does the underlined word “approbation” in paragraph 5 most probably mean? A. Concern. B. Promise. C. Praise. D. Intolerance. 11. What challenge does Jennifer Rollin think orthorexia patients face? A. Adapting to unfamiliar dietary plans. B. Reframing their understanding of health. C. Finding a specialist treating eating disorders. D. Balancing treatment with daily responsibilities. D In our era of constant digital distraction, a wave of “focus apps” promises to help us reclaim our productivity by blocking interruptions and using gamification (游戏化) to encourage deep work. But do these apps truly help, or are they just another form of digital noise? The main challenge to focus is self-regulation. When a task feels boring or stressful, we naturally seek relief, often turning to our smartphones. While there’s little evidence that our inborn ability to focus has declined, habits like multitasking and frequent digital interruptions can make us more easily distracted. To fight this, apps like the popular “Focus Friend” have emerged. These apps employ psychological principles to guide behavior. “Focus Friend,” for example, uses a virtual character that knits (编织) peacefully as you work. If you open a banned app, the knitting comes undone. If you complete a focus session, this system uses immediate rewards, like digital items for your character, to make up for your devotion to the potentially unpleasant work. It also uses the “commitment and consistency” principle — starting a timer feels like a promise to yourself, which you’re then motivated to keep. However, scientific research on their effectiveness is limited. One study found that while users enjoyed gamified apps, they didn’t often use them and found simpler strategies (like setting a phone to greyscale (灰度模式)) more effective for reducing usage. High app store ratings for “Focus Friend” suggest user enjoyment, but enjoyment doesn’t necessarily translate to improved focus or output quality. If you decide to try a focus app, use it wisely. Schedule specific sessions for well-defined tasks, and notice the urge to check your phone without acting on it. After a week, critically assess if the app helped you make real progress. Be mindful of possible problems: these apps can’t judge your work’s value, so you might stay “focused” on unimportant tasks.

You’ve probably heard someone say, “I’m just not good at languages.” But is this really true? ____16____ The short answer: Talent plays a minor role.

Additionally, you will find yourself benefiting greatly from active learning techniques like shadowing native speakers and testing yourself with flashcards. Finally, take full advantage of immersive learning by watching shows in your target language or changing your phone’s language settings. ____20____ Research shows that consistency, persistence, and effective strategies are the true keys to success.

She spent every weekend taking care of them, and the garden was always in perfect order, a little paradise in our busy life. Last month, I was given a summer project for school that required me to build a small wooden shelf. I was in a hurry to finish it and thought the backyard was the perfect place to work, so I spread out my tools, wood and paint all over the grass, right next to mom’s flower beds. I was so focused on my project that I didn’t notice how much I’d messed up the garden. I stepped on some small young plants, spilled a little paint on the rose leaves, and even broke a few flower pots by accident. When mom came back home from her morning walk, she saw the mess and her face turned pale. She didn’t shout at me, but just stood there quietly, looking at her ruined garden with tears in her eyes. I felt a little annoyed at first — she was overreacting, I thought. I finished my shelf quickly and cleaned up the mess carelessly, not saying a single sorry to her. Since then, mom hasn’t stepped into the backyard much. She no longer talks about her plants with me, and the once warm atmosphere between us has turned cold. Every time I see the empty garden and mom’s quiet figure, I feel guilty, but my pride stops me from apologizing. One afternoon, I sat on the porch and watched mom stare at the damaged rose bush through the window, and I knew I had to do something. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 I finally realized how selfish and thoughtless I had been. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With a small potted rose and a handwritten note, I walked slowly to mom’s room. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
