To celebrate the Campus Art Festival, we have produced an English micro-movie themed on our campus life. It records memorable moments: studying attentively in class, joining in diverse activities, enjoying sports and interacting warmly with friends. We aim to show the vitality and charm of our school. Nevertheless, we encounter difficulties when recording the voice-over. Our pronunciation and intonation sound unnatural. We also fail to adjust the tone and rhythm to match the scenes perfectly. Could you please offer us some professional guidance? We would be deeply grateful. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 读后续写 范文： He walked over to me slowly and patted me on the shoulder. I wiped my tears and looked up, embarrassed. Smiling gently, he handed me a clean tissue and comforted me in a soft voice, “Don’t cry, kid. We can fix it.” He pointed to his small cleaning cart nearby, where there was a stack of blank paper. He took one out and gave it to me, along with a few colored pens he usually kept for notes. With his gentle encouragement, I wiped my tears and headed towards the bus stop bench, determined to redraw the picture quickly. He swept the snow around me with great care, guarding my work until I caught the last bus. Finally, I got home with the new drawing in my hands. Bursting through the front door, I found Mom in the kitchen. With a nervous heart, I handed her the simple sketch and recounted the afternoon’s misfortune and the street cleaner’s unexpected kindness. Her eyes shimmered with unshed tears and pulled me into a tight embrace, stressing that the drawing was the most precious birthday gift she’d ever received — for it not only showed my love for her, but also that I’d learned to cherish the kindness of others. That cold afternoon taught me that a little kindness from a stranger can light up a dark day, a lesson I’ll never forget. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $郑州外国语学校2025-2026学年高二下期期中考试试卷 英 语 (120分钟 150分) 第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分） 第节（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。每段对话读两 遍。 1.What will the speakers do today?

B Dear Mom, It's.me,Faisal Abdullah Malik,your son from Pakistan,who crossed the border for a heart transplant.You saved my life a decade ago by making a decision that only a mother as extraordinary as you could make. On 26 December 2014,both our lives changed forever.Karthick,your beloved son,was brought to Tirupur Government Hospital,near Coimbatore,in southern India,after a tragic road accident.He was later transferred to G.Kuppusamy Naidu Memorial(GKNM)Hospital.When the doctors declared him brain dead,you had to face the unthinkable,holding his hand,saying your silent goodbyes.

Zoffness illustrates this with two nail stories.A construction worker stepped on a 7-inch nail, screaming in great pain,but the nail missed his foot-his pain was real without injury.On the contrary,a man had a 4-inch nail stuck in his face,yet felt little pain.These stories prove pain is not a reliable indicator of bodily harm,breaking the traditional link between damage and discomfort. Zoffness defines pain as a biopsychosocial phenomenon.The U.S.healthcare system focuses only on the biological aspect,missing two-thirds of the problem.She criticizes the system's over-reliance on drugs and surgeries,noting that chronic pain affects millions,yet clinicians often lack training in holistic care.Many pain sufferers feel unheard,as their non-physical struggles are ignored. But she offers hope:we can control some "pain ingredients".Her book provides behavioral strategies-improving sleep,strengthening social ties,addressing injuries-for patients and providers. She stresses,"Never label pain as incurable." Moreover,she highlights that holistic care requires a shift in mindset.Clinicians must listen to patients'full experiences,not just physical symptoms.This shift can empower patients to take an active role in their recovery,turning them from passive recipients to active participants.She also calls for better education of medical professionals on the psychological aspects of pain.Still,Zoffness ends optimistically.Pain,as a "whole-person problem",needs a "whole-person solution".Holistic approaches unlock countless paths to relief,offering real hope to those trapped in chronic pain.This 第4页共10页 vision could reshape pain care for generations 28.Why does Zoffness use the "pain recipe"metaphor? A.To simplify pain's biological causes. B.To promote cooking-based pain relief. C.To compare pain to cooking processes. D.To help explain pain's complex nature. 29.What do the two nail stories show? A.Severe injuries cause severe pain. B.Pain can exist without bodily harm. C.Pain always indicates physical damage. D.Different people react to pain differently. 30.What is Zoffness's view on the U.S.healthcare system's handling of chronic pain? A.It's effective for focusing on biology. B.It's advanced for offering behavioral treatment. C.It's faulty for overlooking psychosocial elements. D.It's successful for avoiding labeling pain as incurable. 31.What does the author imply about holistic approaches to pain? A.They may change how pain is treated. B.They ignore the biological basis of pain. C.They are too complex to carry out widely. D.They have replaced the traditional methods. D Rewilding is a simple concept:areas of wilderness are identified for restoration,native animals and plants are reintroduced,and natural processes take over.The term was coined in the 1990s.Much like nature,language undergoes continuous transformation.To some,rewilding now incorporates the idea of building "corridors"so that species can cross from one area of wilderness to another,as they would have done in pre-human times.To others,it is about letting "natural chaos"take over,meaning any human interference is prohibited. Why might the average person be drawn to the idea of rewilding?Many hold that nostalgia is behind it.The fact is that most of us can't say,"Where did all those Red Admiral butterflies go,that were once so common in my back garden?"We cannot recall things that are beyond living memory,let alone a time when wild pigs and deer ran through forests.Indeed,we need not be remotely sentimental (多愁善感)to see why biodiversity is desirable. There are numerous benefits to rewilding,such as restoring natural biodiversity and improving the ecological resilience of damaged landscapes.Actually,at the most pragmatic level,without healthy ecosystems,our crops will fail and obviously we will not survive.A workable food chain must start with pollinators,such as bees and hoverflies.Intensive farming,however,has largely removed the wildflowers they feed on and turned much of our landscape into lifeless soil.Only by reintroducing missing insects,plants and animals can we reverse this trend. The idea of rewilding has certainly caught the public eye,and journalists have played their part in this.Some have warned about the potential terrible consequences.Others have showered praise on the plan of releasing beavers back into streams.Devoting attention to efforts like these is no bad thing, yet rewilding is something different altogether:an entire ecosystem becoming self-regulatory and self-sustaining.Furthermore,if the public are to be persuaded of the benefits of rewilding,they must be confident that journalists are providing the full picture.In Spain's Guadarrama hills,for example, 第5页共10页 wolves'return brings conservation joy but raises local concems over lost sheep and catfle.Honest discussion about this kind of issue is required. Rewilding projects,it has to be said,do not always go as planned.The idea that we should allow nature to reclaim parts of our landscape is far more divisive than say,any proposal for reducing plastic waste or tackling the illegal wildlife trade.Few people would be blind to the advantages of limiting plastic consumption or argue against protecting elephants.Yet not so long ago,no-one gave a second thought to these things.It took the incredible efforts of a few passionate,principled individuals to educate the majority of us through long campaigning and evidence-based argument.Hopefully,fifty. years from now,with ecosystems flourishing again,people will question why our generation ever saw rewilding as debated. 32.Why does the author mention Red Admiral butterflies? A.To contradict a claim. B.To justify a comparison. C.To challenge a convention. D.To illustrate an assumption. 33.What does the word "pragmatic"underlined in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A.Complex. B.Precise. C.Advanced. D.Practical. 34.As for rewilding,which would the author agree with? A.The media play a major role in its progress. B.Objective reporting facilitates its promotion. C.Public concern about it shapes media coverage D.Disagreement among journalists outweighs agreement. 35.Which would be the best title for the passage? A.Rewilding:A Universal Solution B.Rewilding:Back to the Unknown C.Rewilding:A Race against Limits D.Rewilding:The Recall of the Wild 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分） Cut your sugar,get some exercise,eat your vegetables,sleep well.Every day,we are surrounded by information about how to live longer,healthier,happier lives.36It is to engage in the arts. Over the past few decades,evidence has been increasing to suggest that being more creative works wonders for our health.37 And the results are astonishing,from music in surgery reducing the amount of painkillers and anti-anxiety medicines needed,to dance programs helping people with Parkinson's disease to walk. But the arts aren't just there for us when we are sick.As a public health scientist,I spend my days looking at data from studies--massive datasets that contain thousands of individuals who have completed questionnaires,had nurse interviews,donated blood samples and undergone brain imaging every few years of their lives.38 Using complex statistical methods,we can look at the long-term relationship between everyday arts engagement and dozens of health outcomes. The results are remarkable.Children who engage more with the arts have a reduced risk of developing problems like depression later in life.Adults who participate more frequently in the arts and visit cultural venues are happier and feel more satisfied with their lives over the years and decades that follow. 39 Kindergarteners who engage in music activities have increased prosocial skills as they head into primary school.Teenagers who are involved in bands,dance and editing school newspapers are less likely to get involved in antisocial behaviors or crime. I want to be clear:I am not suggesting the arts can solve all problems.40 But the 第6页共10页 evidence remains that engaging regularly in creative activities that you enjoy.is an investment in your health that is worth making. A.The benefits aren't just psychological either. B.Regular arts engagement goes beyond boosting physical health. C.But there is one piece of advice I bet you have never been given. D.Many of these studies contain buried questions on arts engagement. E.Arts can be inaccessible to people because of cost and other reasons. F.Crafts,singing,theatre and writing are good for us as part of our daily lives. G.Programs being developed around the world are starting to integrate the arts into healthcare. 第三部分语言运用（共三节，满分45分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最 佳选项。 A new artificial intelligence-powered stethoscope,a device that medical experts use to listen to sounds in the body such as a heartbeat,can detect three different heart conditions in 15 seconds. More than one million people across the UK are now affected by heart failure,a(n)41 where the heart can't make blood flow properly because of weak muscle function.One42 is shortness of breath,but it is frequently ignored.As a result,70%of people only have the condition 43 after they have been rushed to hospital. The new device,developed by a team at Imperial College London and the National Health Service, looks about the 44 of a playing card.Doctors put it on a patient's chest and it records the electrical signals in the heart and listens to the sound of blood flowing through the organ.Then,this 45 is sent to an AI system.The system then 46 it against data from thousands of other people to see if there's a problem,and the result is immediately sent to a smartphone. Scientists looked at what happened to patients whose doctors examined them with a(n)47 stethoscope,and those whose doctors used the AI one.The study included more than 12,700 people at about200GP(全科医生)surgeries in north London over the course of a year:. This study found that the AI stethoscope was able to detect 48 heart activity that a doctor might miss with a regular one.Patients 49 with the AI stethoscope were twice as likely to have their heart failure spotted.The device was also 3.5 times more likely to find atrial fibrillation,namely an irregular heartbeat.It was also better at50 whether one or more of a patient's heart valves( )which are like doors to the different sections in the heart and control blood flow,were not working properly. There are some problems to be solved,though.The AI stethoscope often told patients that they could be 51 heart failure when they weren't.The researchers said that the 52 should only be used when GPs suspected that their patient had heart problems,and not for routine checks on healthy people. "This is an elegant example of how the 53 stethoscope,invented more than 200 years ago, can be upgraded for the 21st century,said Dr Sonya Babu-Narayan,from the British Heart Foundation charity."We need 54 like these,providing early detection of heart failure."55,she said, the condition can be quite advanced by the time the patient goes to hospital feeling unwell. 41.A.situation B.disorder C.framework D.platform 第7页共10页 42.A.figure B.role C.sign D.location 43.A.upgraded B.overlooked C.confirmed D.registered 44.A.value B.size C.symbol D.clue 45.A.information B.analysis C.sample D.card 46.A.compares B.protects C.balances D.exchanges 47.A.experimental B.virtual C.durable D.conventional 48.A.strong B.initial C.instant D.unusual 49.A.supported B.examined C.equipped D.defended 50.A.picking out B.turning down C.making for D.taking over 51.A.classifying B.undergoing C.measuring D.controlling 52.A.research B.solution C.section D.device 53.A.useless B.advanced C.humble D.remote 54.A.innovations B.suspicions C.evaluations D.conclusions 55.A.However B.Therefore C.Besides D.Otherwise 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Painter's passion helps villagers realize their dreams on rural canvases "With this paintbrush,I want to show my fellow villagers the world,"says 39-year-old Wu Chengyan.In 2023,when he was painting a landscape for his wife's grandfather,an idea to create art for his hometown's seniors 56(generate).Inspired by the animated film Ne Zha 2 in early 2025,he painted over 10 murals,turning his village into 57 is now called "Ne Zha Village."

However,just as I turned the corner,my foot slipped on the icy sidewalk.I fell hard,and my schoolbag flew open.Books and pens fell all over.To make matters worse,the drawing slipped out and landed in the slush(雪泥)near the roadside. I struggled to my feet and rushed to grab the drawing.But when I picked it up,my heart sank.The colors I'd carefully chosen had bled (into each other.I could hardly recognize the image anymore-our puppy Daisy,Mom's favorite flowers,and our smiling faces-it was all ruined. I tried to dry the paper with my coat,but it only made things worse.The wet edges of the paper tore,and I could feel hot tears welling up in my eyes. In my distress )I hadn't noticed an old man a few feet away who witnessed it all.He was the street cleaner who worked this block every day,sweeping the sidewalk with his broom.I'd seen him many times before,always wearing his woolen hat,but we had never exchanged words.He was always quiet,just sweeping and smiling at passersby. 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。 第9页共10页 He walked over to me slowly and patted me on the shoulder.
