Among them are the following four. The Taj Mahal It was built between 1631 and 1648, known as a masterpiece of architecture. It took over 20,000 workers and 1,000 elephants to complete the project. In the early 17th century, an emperor named Shah Jahan ruled India. The emperor loved his wife Mumtaz so much that when she died, he built the Taj Mahal in her memory. The beautiful mausoleum (陵墓) was designed to look like what the emperor hoped would be Mumtaz’s home in the afterlife. The Temple and Mansion of Confucius Located in Qufu, Shandong Province, the temple is a memorial to Confucius, the Chinese great educator. On the grounds, there are more than 900 halls and rooms. But the building that people visit most is the Temple of Confucius. Originally built in 478 BC, the temple has been rebuilt many times. Besides the temple, visitors can enjoy the grounds outside, where there are more than 1,000 stone tablets (碑碣) and over 100, 000 tombs. The Imperial Tombs of the Qing and Ming Dynasties Built by several emperors between 1368 and 1915 in Beijing, Hubei, Hebei and Liaoning, the Imperial Tombs represent Chinese cultural and historical values that have been handed down from generation to generation for thousands of years. What makes them unique even among amazing buildings such as Angkor Wat (吴哥窟) and the Cologne Cathedral (科隆大教堂) is that they bring together architecture and philosophy. The Terracotta Army In 1974, while some Chinese farmers were digging a well, they accidentally found a tomb, where they found more than 8,000 statues. They were said to be made in the third century BC to guard the tomb of the Chinese Emperor Qinshihuang! More than 700,000 people worked for nearly 40 years to build this tomb! It is recognized as one of the greatest archaeological findings in the world. 1. ________ can be viewed as a labor of love. A. The Temple and Mansion of Confucius B. The Terracotta Army C. The Imperial Tombs of the Qing and Ming Dynasties D. The Taj Mahal 2. In ________, you can find a unique combination of building and thinking. A. The Temple and Mansion of Confucius B. The Terracotta Army. C. The Imperial Tombs of the Qing and Ming Dynasties D. The Taj Mahal 3. What do the four places have in common? A. They are located in China. B. They are World Cultural Heritage Sites. C. They are archaeological wonders. D. They were built in honor of a famous person. B On a hot summer afternoon along the Mandavi River, Shweta Hule wraps her sari around her ankles and bends to pick wild “weeds” from the river and drop them into a bowl. The plants will be made into fritters (炸果饼), to be served at the little restaurant attached to the B&B Hule manages in the Indian coastal town of Vengurla. Wild edible (可食用的) plants are common in kitchens here. Hule’s weed is juicy, which is found in mangrove forests. Harvesting some of the plant is helping conserve the mangroves, a globally endangered ecosystem of salt-tolerant trees that stop coastal erosion (侵蚀) and absorb storm damage. Hule is head of Swamini, a self-help group set up by nine women from a fishing community in Vengurla who started Mandavi Eco Tourism in 2017. Vengurla is known for its beautiful beaches and seafood, but the climate crisis has made fishing for a living unsustainable, so people are trying to find other sources of income. They came up with the idea of running mangrove safaris (观光游) for tourists in Vengurla’s Mandavi River. The safaris offer visitors a unique hour-long tour of the mangroves. Food has also become a key attraction: local spicy coconut curries, with homegrown or wild vegetables. Tourists are encouraged to go crabbing, and their catch is cooked and served. Hule only discovered recently that the weed was edible when she met tourists from another coastal city. She researched these leaves and learned that the salty plant is rich in vitamins. She made her own version of the fritters, with chickpea flour, and presented it at the wild vegetable festival. “It was an instant hit. This boosted the confidence to include these fritters in our restaurant menu,” says Hule. Swamini’s lodging house also serves vegetarian meals and plates of fish and crab sourced from the river. “The satisfaction after the visitors enjoy our meal is the real currency. We had guests from London who were so happy with our food that they took down the recipe. Such people help our business grow. What more can we want?” says Hule. 4. Which of the following can best describe the example of Shweta Hule? A. Do as the Romans do. B. Strike while the iron is hot. C. Kill two birds with one stone. D. Bite off more than you can chew. 5. What does Swamini offer to visitors? A. Eco-tours and accommodation. B. Fishing guide service. C. Vegetable growing techniques. D. Hands-on cooking classes. 6. Why were Hule’s fritters well-received? A. They were less expensive. B. They were traditional. C. They had their own features. D. They got strongly promoted. 7. How did Hule feel about tourists’ obtaining her food recipe? A. Lost. B. Proud. C. Worried. D. Curious. C If you look around your city, you might spot girls wearing hanfu in subways or people wearing T-shirts with Chinese characters on the streets, A new trend has taken hold in China-guochao, or “China-chic” According to a report, searches related to guochao on Dianping, a lifestyle information platform, have risen by 170 percent from the same period in 2021,and reviews have risen by nearly 40 percent. China-chic has happened, but what is it? The term characterizes the rise of China’s native fashion trends, It has expanded the concept of “Made in China”, which has been recognized as the representation of Chinese culture and aesthetics offered by homegrown Chinese brands, according to CGTN. China-chic came into the spotlight in 2018. Before that, big name foreign companies dominated the world market. To win market share, many Chinese brands followed in the footsteps of these Western brands. But that year, Chinese sportswear brand Li-Ning changed things up. During the 2018 New York Fashion Week, Li-Ning introduced its Taoism-inspired Wu Dao collection. The collection not only had a trendy look, but also included elements of traditional Chinese culture. It immediately grabbed attention at home and abroad. The trend to embrace domestic brands has since spread rapidly to various sectors and products, from food and drinks to clothing, mobile phones and electric vehicles. For example, White Rabbit, whose sweet candy brings back childhood memories for many, launched its perfume and lip balm. “We want White Rabbit to be a brand that young people want to share,” Shen Qinfeng, the company’s marketing manager, told People’s Daily. Now, the guochao trend is “moving to the next stage, where its success will rely, first and foremost, on gaining cultural confidence rather than Western validation”, according to Kerra Zhou, founder of brand strategy consultancy Kerrisma. No matter how the guochao trend evolves, there’s one thing that won’t change: Behind the craze is people’s positive attitude toward the country’s development and their recognition of and growing confidence in national culture, said Yao Linqing, a professor in the School of Economics and Management at Communication University of China. 8. What makes Li-Ning so fashionable? A. Its successful market strategy similar to Western brands. B. Its trendy look similar to Western brands. C. Its elements of traditional Chinese culture. D. Chic and unique clothes styles. 9. Why did the author mention “White Rabbit” in paragraph 5? A. Because White Rabbit reminded the author of his or her childhood. B. Because the author helped White Rabbit promote new products. C. Because White Rabbit was a good example for showing the guochao trend. D. Because this traditional brand was on the decline. 10. What does the secret to the success of the guochao? A. Increasing confidence in Chinese culture. B. Excellent design skills. C. Clothes of great quality. D. Styles catering to people abroad. 11. What is the author’s attitude to the future of the guochao trend? A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Disapproving. D. Cautious. D Few animals appear more affectionate than the black-browed albatross (信天翁). These large seabirds are socially monogamous (一夫一妻制的) and often mate for life, staying with the same partner with trust. But “divorce” is not unheard of. As is the case with other monogamous animals, a female albatross will leave a partnership that lacks breeding (繁殖) success. Although “divorce” is natural among these birds, Ventura recently began noticing that its rates seemed to vary from year to year for the roughly 15,500 pairs of black-browed albatrosses breeding on New Island. “There were clearly years in which more pairs split up, compared with the previous years,” says Ventura, whose team combed through about 15 years of breeding data. To investigate, the group focused on two environmental variables (变数) vital to the albatross: wind speed and sea-surface temperature. Each affects the birds in different ways. Higher winds make it easier for them to soar for greater distances to gather food. Increasing sea-surface temperatures, on the other hand, limit the nutrients available to the albatross by curbing the production of phytoplankton (浮游植物), which has huge effects on the rest of the marine food web. As a result, albatrosses must travel farther and struggle more to find enough food. This throws breeding schedules into disarray and increases stress levels among partnerships — both factors that can decrease breeding success. And digging deeper, the team found that in warmer years female albatrosses were more likely to leave their mate even after successful breeding attempts. “Previous successful females are the ones that are most affected by this.” Ventura says. Ventura assumes that similar patterns may appear in other seabird populations and possibly among some monogamous mammals, highlighting a potentially overlooked consequence of climate change. “If you have a situation where increasing sea-surface temperature is leading to higher divorce rates, which reduces breeding success for the populations as a whole,” she says. “Ultimately you’re sending fewer albatrosses out into the world, and that’s going to impact the population more widely.” 12. What can we know about the albatross? A. They maintain a steady annual divorce rate. B. Their relationship is dominated by the female. C. They generally have strong loyalty to their mate. D. Their breeding has decreased due to fading affection. 13. What was the team’s analysis based on? A. Previous researches. B. Food varieties. C. Environmental effects. D. Sex differences. 14. What does the underlined word “disarray” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Disagreement. B. Chaos. C. Adaptation. D. Routine. 15. What does Ventura imply in the last paragraph? A. Species of different seabirds are in danger of extinction. B. Climate change influences more species other than albatrosses. C. Breeding success guarantees a stable partnership of albatrosses. D. Other seabirds and mammals affect the population of albatrosses 第二节 七选五 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Conscious (有意识的) living is not just a trend. ____16____ It is about being intentional with everything you do — your words, actions, beliefs, habits, and choices.

As the economy was in decline, some people in the town had lost their jobs. Many of their families were struggling to make ends meet. People were trying to help each other meet the challenges. Mrs. Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman. She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor. She knew they had problems, and they needed all kinds of help. When she had time, she would bring food and medicine to them. One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before. There was a man sick in bed, his wife, who took care of him and could not go out to work, and their little boy. The little boy -his name was Bernard-had interested her very much. “I wish you could see him,” she said to her own children, John, Harry, and Clara. “He is such a help to his mother. He wants very much to earn some money, but I don't see what he can do.” After their mother left the room, the children sat thinking about Bernard. “I wish we could help him to earn money,” said Clara. “His family is suffering so much.” “So do I,” said Harry. “We really should do something to assist them.” For some moments, John said nothing, but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet and cried, “I have a great idea! I have a solution that we can all help accomplish (完成).” The other children also jumped up all attention. When John had an idea, it was sure to be a good one. “I tell you what we can do,” said John. “You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us? Well, we can make popcorn (爆米花), and put it into paper bags, and Bernard can take it around to the houses and sell it.” 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。 When Mrs. Meredith heard of John's idea, she thought it was a good one, too. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 潮阳区河溪中学2025-2026学年度高二第二学期第一学月考试 高二英语 满分120分，考试用时90分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答题前，先将自己的姓名、考生号填写在答题卷上，并用2B铅笔将答题卷上相应的信息点涂黑。 2. 选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卷上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 非选择题的作答：用签字笔直接答在答题卷上对应的答题区域内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4. 考试结束后，请将答题卷上交。 第一部分 阅读理解 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A 【1~3题答案】 【答案】1.
