know，with the development of economy and society，the number of private cars is amazingly increasing.Cars and other vehicles give off carbon gases，so do many other human activities，which causes global warming，disasters，and so on.It’s high time that we should go green. From my point of view，we should raise the public’s awareness of the significance of going green.And taking public transportation or riding bicycle instead of driving should be greatly encouraged.What’s more，it’s a good idea to classify our rubbish and recycle it in our daily life. That’s all.Thank you. 67.【参考范文】 For the next two hours, the living room became our workshop. Dad showed me how to cut shapes safely. “Hold the scissors like this,” he said, guiding my hand. Mom helped arrange the pieces on a large board. “Does this look good here?” she asked me. I nodded, a warm sense of being valued washing over me. We talked and laughed as we worked. Dad shared a story about Grandpa and that old apron. Mom remembered when I was little, I was wrapped in that blue blanket. This was no longer just a school project; it felt like we were putting together pieces of our family’s story. On Monday, I carried my “artwork” to school with pride. I shared the meaning of the picture and each piece with the class during the project presentation and then my teacher held it up and said, “This one tells a meaningful story.” A rush of pride filled me, and I couldn’t wait to share it with my parents. After school I said “Thank you” to my parents. Mom put her hand on my shoulder. “We’ re always here for you,” she replied. I realized then that “We’ll see” didn’t mean no. Sometimes, it just meant “wait, and we’ll find a way to help you together.” The cloth collage, a quiet reminder of the lesson in patience and love, stayed on our wall for years. 【解析】 $ 田家炳高中2025-2026第二学期期中考试题 本试卷共67（小题数）题，满分150分，共7（数字）页。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写清楚，将条形码粘贴到条形码区域内。 2.选择题必须用2B铅笔填涂；非选择题必须用0.5mm黑色中性笔书写，字体工整，笔迹清楚。 3.请按照题号顺序在答题卡各题目的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在草纸、试题卷上答题无效。 4.保持卡面清洁，不要折叠，不要弄破、弄皱、不准使用涂改液、修正带、刮纸刀。 一、听力（共20题 每题1.5分 共30分） 1.

But arguably the real star of the expedition was marine geologist Cassie Bongiovanni, the lead ocean mapper who ensured Vescovo piloted his submersible to the actual deepest depths. Today, only 25 percent of the seafloor is well mapped. “Traditionally, captains never cared about the seafloor as long as it stayed far enough away from the hulls of their ships,” journalist Laura Trethewey writes in The Deepest Map. The book explores humankind’s quest to map the seafloor, framed around Bongiovanni’s adventures. Seafloor topography has been a big concern for companies facilitating intercontinental communication via subsea cables. In recent decades, seafloor data have become crucial to the deep-sea mining industries searching for metals needed to produce green technology. Satellites have revealed many of the knob sand cracks visible in the deep blue of Google Maps. But with that relatively coarse information, entire mountains can be missed. To see the seafloor in high resolution requires a sophisticated sonar system aboard a big ship that sends sound signals from the sea surface into the abyss (深渊)。 Mappers like Bongiovanni calculate depth from the time it takes for the signal to travel down and bounce back to the surface. These state-of-the-art sonar systems transform the satellite-predicted blur into a sharp three-dimensional terrain of ripples, cracks and tears in the seafloor. “The seafloor is ‘heard’, rather than seen,” Trethewey writes. Trethewey’s insightful writing helps readers understand just why mapping the ocean — even in shallow coastal waters — is crucial to so many endeavors. Trethewey’s book is about more than just mapping the oceans. It’s also about what can go wrong when explorers explore. It’s hard to read The Deepest Map without being reminded of the recent inner explosion of the Titan submersible (能潜水的) in the North Atlantic that killed everyone on board in June, 2023. She also reminds us how easily exploration can turn into exploitation. In the not-so-distant past, Europeans “discovered” the so-called New World and mapped it, Trethewey writes. Exploitation followed. Scientists and environmentalists alike are now concerned that a full, detailed map of the ocean floor might lead to the destruction of delicate, mostly unknown habitats if deep-sea miners are allowed to extract metals. 28.What do the first three paragraphs mainly talk about? A. The writing background of the book. B. The achievement of the geologist. C. The production of green technology. D. The significance of mapping seafloor. 29.How do the mappers figure out the depth of the sea floor? A. They directly measure the depth. B. They count the time of the signal to travel. C. They analyze the sound waves from the sonar system. D. They take a close look at the pictures taken by the satellite. 30.Why does the author mention the accident in 2023? A.

Mine does.Maybe that feeling comes from growing up in South Africa，where the phrase “there are children starving in Africa” was more of an uncomfortable reminder of fact than a prayer at dinner time. Food waste is a growing concern in the restaurant，supermarket，and supply chain industries.From technological solutions to educational campaigns，food producers and sellers are looking for ways to use more of what we’re already growing.But last month，one popular New York City restaurant tried a different way：It changed its menu to exclusively(专门) offer food that would otherwise be thrown away. For two weeks in March，Greenwich Village’s Blue Hill restaurant was renamed wastED，and served items like fried skate cartilage，a juice pulp burger，and a dumpster diver’s vegetable salad.Each dish was tailor-made to raise awareness regarding food waste. A study by the Food Waste Alliance determined that the average restaurant generates 33 pounds of food waste for every $1,000 in revenue(收入)，and of that waste only 15.7% is donated or recycled.Up to 84.3% is simply thrown out.Restaurants like Silo in the UK have experimented with zero-waste systems，but wastED took the concept to its logical conclusion. It should be noted that none of the items on wastED’s menu was technically made from garbage.Instead，all the ingredients(配料) used were examples of meat cuts and produce that most restaurants would never consider serving.Things like kale ribs，fish collars，rejected sweet potatoes，and cucumber butts were all re-appropriated and，with the help of a number of good chefs，turned into excellent cuisine. Though wastED received enthusiastic reviews，it was designed from the start as a short-lived experiment；Blue Hill has since returned to its regular menu.Nevertheless，it serves as a reminder that there are many ways to address problems of sustainability，and that you can make an amazing meal out of almost anything. 32.What can be inferred about the author’s early life? A.He witnessed food shortage. B.He enjoyed the local cuisine. C.He donated food to Africans. D.He helped to cook at home. 33.Why did Blue Hill carry out the experiment? A.To customize dishes for guests. B.To make the public aware of food waste. C.To test a food processing method. D.To improve the UK’s zero-waste systems. 34.What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A.Why the ingredients were used. B.Which dishes were best liked. C.What the dishes were made of. D.Where the ingredients were bought. 35.What can we learn about wastED? A.It has ended as planned. B.It is creating new jobs. C.It has regained popularity. D.It is criticized by top chefs. 七选五 What You Can Learn from Exam Papers Exam papers are not just tools for assessment.      36     .

My heart sank. “What does ‘we’ll see’ mean?” I thought. “If I don’t finish this project, I’ll fail the assignment.” I pushed my food around my plate, my excitement gone. Later, I approached Dad carefully. “We need to find some old fabric…” I said. He was reading the newspaper. “Hmm” was all he said, not even looking at me. A heavy feeling settled in my chest. “Maybe my schoolwork isn’t important to them,” I worried. Throughout Saturday, I waited, hoping to hear the sound of scissors or the rustle of cloth. But nothing happened. Did they forget? I wondered, my stomach tight with worry. By Sunday afternoon, I was fighting back tears. The deadline felt like a dark cloud over me. In our home, asking twice often led to trouble. I watched my parents move around the house, wishing one of them would say something — anything — about my project. But they were busy with their own tasks. I felt invisible and quite alone. The hope I had felt on Friday was now completely gone. Just before dinner, Dad walked into my room. “Come with me,” he said, his voice gentle. I followed him to the living room, confused. Then I stopped, surprised. On the big table lay pieces of colorful cloth. I saw the blue pattern from my old baby blanket, a soft red piece from Mom’s favorite worn- out shirt, and even some rough brown fabric from Grandpa’s gardening apron （围裙）, each tied to our past memory. “I’ve been saving these,” Dad said, a small smile on his face. Mom walked in and said, “Let’s get to work.” As I saw her holding a box of buttons and thread and a pair of scissors, my worry began to melt away, replaced with a heart full of joy. “Thank you,” I whispered. Dad and Mom patted my shoulders gently, then we worked together to turn the cloth into something meaningful. 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。 For the next two hours, the living room became our workshop. __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ On Monday, I carried my “artwork” to school with pride. __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
