Driven by her love for pets and fellow humans, she started IronBark DogPark, which is more than a place for pets to play and serves as a career platform for the disabled individuals and at-risk youth. Because of its unique focus, it is blowing up online now. The weekly roster (花名册) in IronBark DogPark features 63 dogs, including working dogs, older dogs, and what they call “playful teenagers”. Dogs receive professional attention, while those special participants also benefit from making friends, getting away from computer screens, and exploring new careers like human handlers and so on. Mcvilly works to help people with mental health challenges feel more connected, supported, and also find real purpose. “Although it is a sticky mission, we’re trying our best to create a space where everyone, regardless of their abilities, can build a future in animal care,” Mcvilly said excitedly, pointing out that the dogs play an important role in the project. With the help of its online influence, Mcvilly and her team are working to build partnerships with sympathetic entrepreneurs and donors to further boost community goals, including tailored mental health and disability support. Like other small business owners with a changemaking calling, she understands that building strong bonds with more like-minded people is the most crucial step. Up to now, Mcvilly has offered job opportunities to young people. For Amber, who has an acquired brain injury limiting her mobility, working with dogs is rewarding. “Coming here calms me down and makes me feel relaxed,” Amber says. Some participants even stay on to work at Mcvilly’s enterprise. Sage Conway-Keogh, a hard-of-hearing staff member, is now training to be a dog caregiver. “I’ve always loved animals, and now I am happy to get to work with them every day,” she shares. 24. What makes IronBark DogPark unique? A. Professional dog training services. B. Mental health programs for youth. C. Free medical care for dogs online. D. Career support for special groups. 25. What does the underlined word “sticky” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Vital. B. Secret. C. Demanding. D. Urgent. 26. What is Mcvilly’s plan to advance her project? A. To help more like-minded people. B. To broaden cooperative relations. C. To follow other enterprise models. D. To enhance public health awareness. 27. How has the project helped participants? A. They have landed high-paying jobs. B. They have gained public recognition. C. They have improved their well-being. D. They have learned diverse life skills. C For gardeners who love neatness, autumn is a bit of a mixed blessing. Golden, autumn leaves look beautiful at first, but they soon turn brown and mushy, making many people want to throw them away. However, gardening and wildlife experts say this is unnecessary and even harmful. To those so inclined (有倾向的), Jon Stokes, the director of the Tree Council, shares his experience. “It’s not necessary. In 35 years of having a garden, I’ve never once swept a leaf, because I’ve never had to. They disappear within a week because the earthworms get them. The garden is completely full of wildlife and my grass has never suffered because of it,” he says, “Don’t take them away and drop them at the landfill, because you’ll have just taken all that goodness out of your garden. If you can’t bear to leave them where they are, get the kids to kick them into a corner, stick them in a pile, or let the hedgehogs (刺猬) and earthworms use them.” While gardens covered with fallen leaves may look like a mess to humans, to wildlife they are a vital source of nutrients and shelter. For an earthworm, a fallen leaf is a snack to be rolled up and pulled down into the soil. For an elephant hawk-moth caterpillar, it is a roof under which to shelter until spring. For a hedgehog, it is a bed to roll around in and turn into a nest. Even for a tree, the leafy covering is a source from which to “drink” during dry periods. Experts offer easy ways to balance neatness and nature. Oliver Fry from Surrey Wildlife Trust suggests piling leaves in dry spots for hedgehogs or wet areas for frogs. Leave some leaf-covered areas for insects, but keep others tidy. If you hate rotting leaves, cut them into small pieces — worms will carry them away faster, boosting the soil microorganisms. Adrian Thomas from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds stresses keeping leaves in the garden instead of landfills. Every gardener’s small effort with leaves can help nature a lot. Leaves aren’t waste; they’re free, natural helpers for healthy plants. 28. What does “a mixed blessing” imply in paragraph 1? A. Fallen leaves are beautiful but annoying. B. Autumn is a pleasant but sorrowful. C. Gardening is rewarding but laborious. D. Wildlife is lovely but harmful. 29. What is Jon Stokes’ attitude towards leaf removal? A. Favorable. B. Cautious. C. Opposed. D. Unclear. 30. According to Oliver Pry, what should we do with fallen leaves? A. Carry them away immediately. B. Leave them lying around. C. Send them to the landfill. D. Gather them in certain areas. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Warm the Worms. B. Leave the Leaves. C. Guard the Gardens. D. Balance the Balance. D Cities worldwide are witnessing a transformation in urban environments. Wildlife populations in cities are not only surviving but often surpassing those in rural areas. Urban bird populations in cities like Berlin have increased by over 40% in the past two decades. These aren’t just typical pigeons and sparrows, but hawks and owls, and even non-native species that have found urban environments surprisingly pleasant. The urban heat island effect, often seen as a negative consequence of city development, creates micro climates many species find irresistible. Warmer temperatures extend growing seasons, provide frost-free zones, and create diverse micro habitats within a single city block. Urban environments also offer abundant food resource. Raccoon in Toronto have learned some techniques to open garbage cans. The constant availability of food waste and reduced animal hunters in nature create what ecologists call “urban ecological release.” Urban wildlife’s boom (繁荣) not only reshapes ecosystems but brings health benefits to humans. Studies show people in areas with higher biodiversity experience lower rates of autoimmune diseases. Mental health benefits are equally impressive: urban residents who encounter wildlife report lower stress and improved mood. Yet this boom isn’t all positive. Urban animals are developing behaviour changes — increased aggression and interrupted migration routes. Disease spread is also critical as populations grow more crowded, threatening humans and animals alike. Forward-thinking cities are pioneering architectural innovations. Green roofs in Copenhagen aren’t just for beauty — they’re functioning ecosystems supporting plants, insects, and birds, cutting energy costs by up to 30%while providing paths for wildlife to move. Wildlife bridges like Ecoduct de Woeste Hoeve let over 5,000 deer cross highways safely, reducing wildlife-vehicle accidents by 80%. The future of urban wildlife coexistence is promising, driven by tech advances and public awareness — smart tech enables wildlife monitoring, and innovative designs create shared livable spaces. Emerging biotech may revolutionize management: genetic tools help study urban animal adaptation, aiding threatened species. The key is reimagining cities as integrated ecosystems. As urbanization grows, coexistence lessons grow more valuable. The question isn’t whether we can live alongside urban wildlife — it’s whether we dare to embrace the possibilities this partnership offers. 32. What can we know about urban wildlife from Paragraph 1? A. They have grown in diversity. B. They are mainly from rural areas. C. They have adapted to urban pollution. D. They tend to avoid human contact. 33. Why is “urban ecological release” mentioned? A. To present a new ecological concept. B. To stress the constant city development. C. To show the wildlife-friendliness of cities. D. To explain the reduced ecological harm. 34. What can the urban wildlife boom bring? A. Lowered rates of disease spread. B. An improved sense of well-being. C. Impressive migration routes of wildlife. D. Positive behavioural changes in wildlife. 35. What is crucial for urban wildlife coexistence? A. A slower pace of urbanization. B. Adjustment to existing ecosystems. C. Advanced biological technologies. D. An adaptive mindset of coexistence. 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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Art class in high school often gets written off as a fun break, not serious like math or science. Nevertheless, anyone who’s lost himself in painting or designing a poster knows better: art is anything but a time-killer. ____36____ Art trains you to notice everything. When you’re drawing a park bench, you don’t just draw wood. ____37____ That careful observation stays with you. Later, when you analyze a poem or spot lab details, you use that same artist’s eye — the ability to see what others miss. Art teaches you to adapt to the unexpected. Imagine you start a watercolor painting of a bright sunset, but suddenly the colors spread into a soft gray sky. Instead of seeing this as a failure, you learn to work with it. Often, that so-called “failure” becomes the most interesting part of your artwork. ____38____ You learn to adapt rather than give up easily. Art enables you to work with people in practical ways. Have you ever done wall painting with your classmates? You can’t paint whatever you want. ____39____ Similarly, playing in the school band, you can’t turn up your violin too loud. You have to fit in with the other instruments. That’s real-world teamwork, a lesson no worksheet can truly teach. ____40____ However, art isn’t getting in the way of learning. It’s the kind of learning that lasts, teaching you to observe, adapt, and work with others — skills that truly matter long after school. A. Some may argue, “No time for art — focus on tests!” B. You take a close look at sunlight on its edges, or small marks left by rain. C. You listen to others’ ideas and work out a common view. D. This is exactly the skill that helps when a test doesn’t go as planned. E. These small details make your drawing look more realistic. F. It shapes how you see the world and who you are. G. It makes you more creative in the watercolor painting. 第三部分 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。 Last year, I was determined to climb the business ladder. I worked ____41____, often staying late at the office and giving up weekends to meet deadlines. The ____42____ of success consumed me, and I prided myself on my ____43____. However, as months passed, I began to feel the ____44____ on my body and mind. Constant headaches, bad appetite and a growing sense of emotional detachment (疏离) from my work became my new normal. I was ____45____, and it was affecting my health and productivity. One evening, after yet another long day, I collapsed on my sofa. I was so tired that I couldn’t ____46____cook dinner. Staring at the ceiling, I ____47____ I had become a machine, endlessly working. The next morning, I decided to make a change. I knew I needed to ____48____ self-care to regain balance in my life. I started ____49____. Every morning, I devoted 15 minutes to meditation (冥想), allowing myself to breathe and set intentions for the day. I also reintroduced ____50____ activities into my routine, like short walks during lunch breaks. Gradually, I noticed a(n) ____51____. My energy levels improved, and I felt more ____52____ both at work and in my personal life. I began setting ____53____, saying no to unnecessary tasks, and carving out time for rest. Most importantly, I learned self-care isn’t ____54____ — it’s essential. Reflecting on my journey, I realized true ____55____ lies in finding balance and nurturing (滋养) oneself. 41. A. tirelessly B. regularly C. casually D. flexibly 42. A. guarantee B. taste C. secret D. pursuit 43. A. creativity B. leadership C. devotion D. curiosity 44. A. competition B. heat C. impact D. need 45. A. cheering up B. burning out C. calming down D. showing off 46. A. already B. almost C. still D. even 47. A. pretended B. explained C. recognized D. wished 48. A. prioritize B. dismiss C. decline D. promote 49. A. small B. high C. smart D. early 50. A. scientific B. physical C. academic D. commercial 51.

A. satisfactory B. selfish C. straightforward D. subjective 55. A. success B. potential C. love D. friendship 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。 Distant pleasant music floated above the Sydney Opera House stage. Soft light gradually revealed motionless figures at work, as if lifted from the pages of a Ming-dynasty book. Slowly they began to move. ____56____ (accompany) by the soft sound of page turning and the gentle flow of water, their graceful ____57____ (gesture) formed a living picture of labor. This breathtaking opening of the dance drama Tiangong Kaiwu pulled me ____58____ (instant) into that world of ancient creation. Through expressive movement, the performance ____59____ (convey) the book’s core message — valuing the skills passed down by countless unknown laborers and the power of practical tools. The beautiful scenes of golden fields and shiny silk made me feel the deep bond between humanity and nature. The most moving moment came ____60____ Song Yingxing took off his official robe (官袍) and stepped into a “field” formed by the other dancers. All motion stopped; only his figure remained, arms stretched upward, silent yet full of ____61____ (strong). At that instant, history ____62____ (it) seemed to hold its breath. As I left the theatre, I overheard a visitor say, “This is beauty that goes ____63____ borders.” His words deepened my belief: art ____64____ (root) in a culture’s finest traditions possesses a timeless power to move anyone. This was more than ____65____ ancient book brought to life — it was a celebration of Chinese wisdom and its spirit of sharing with the world. 第四部分 写作 (共两节，满分 40 分) 第一节 (满分15分) 66. 假定你是李华，你校部分学生常以各种理由请假，不参加课间跑活动。为此，请写一篇短文向校英文报投稿。内容包括： (1) 陈述现象； (2) 提出劝告。 注意： (1) 写作词数应为80个左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Show up for Inter-class Running _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节（满分25分） 67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Every day after school, Lucas and Noah pressed their noses against Mr. Henderson’s shop window. They stared at the red bicycle that stood proudly in the center of the display. For months, they had saved every spare coin, yet the price still seemed far beyond their reach. When the first snow of winter covered their town, the brothers saw an opportunity. They grabbed their shovels (铲子), determined to turn the snowfall into savings through hard work. They started in their own neighborhood. But many residents had already cleared their walkways, and those who hadn’t only offered a few coins for short paths. After several tiring hours, they had earned just seven dollars — far less than they hoped. Refusing to give up, they headed to Maple Street, where the houses were bigger and the driveways deeper in snow. Noah knocked on the door of a beautiful Victorian house. Mrs. Williams answered, looking like she was in a hurry. When Noah asked if she needed her driveway shoveled, she agreed at once. She took a twenty-dollar bill from her purse and placed it into Noah’s hand. “I have to rush out,” she said with an encouraging smile. “I’ll leave it in your capable hands.” The boys stared at the bill, amazed. Twenty dollars — more than they had made the entire day! Laughing in disbelief, they set to work with fresh energy. The initial excitement carried them through the first hour of work. But as the afternoon darkened and the temperature dropped, the work became harder. Their hands grew numb (麻木)， their muscles ached, and the long driveway seemed endless. Halfway through, Lucas threw down his shovel in frustration (沮丧). “Let’s just go. She’ll never know we didn’t finish.” 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。 Noah’s aching hands seemed to agree with his brother’s words. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As they cleared the final shovel of snow, Mrs. Williams’ car returned. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年度第二学期期中联考试卷 高二英语 2026.4 注意事项及说明： 1. 试卷分第一卷（选择题）和第二卷（非选择题）两部分。共150分，考试时间120分钟。 2. 答案一律写在答题卡上。考试结束时，上交答题卡。 第一部分 听力 （共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共5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。每段对话仅读两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is the man doing?

This is my first visit to Manchester, even though it is one of the neighboring cities of my hometown. I’m honored to be here because I get so many letters and emails from the readers living in this area, and it’s you guys who brought me here. As you know, I’m here to meet you and tell you about the ideas I have put forward in my recently-published book, The Best Way to Learn. In the book, I try to explain that there are some better ways of learning than the ones traditionally used in our schools and colleges. These methods could possibly help those who feel left out by the current system. I’m sure many of you will have questions about my idea and I will be answering questions from the audience after my talk. However, I would ask you all to visit my website www.learnwithron.com where you will be able to find detailed explanations of my ideas and lots of other useful things, such as teaching materials and resources. Anyway, let’s get down to the main business of the evening. 第二部分 阅读（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A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Make it: Fashion Looking for something to do on the weekend?

Driven by her love for pets and fellow humans, she started IronBark DogPark, which is more than a place for pets to play and serves as a career platform for the disabled individuals and at-risk youth. Because of its unique focus, it is blowing up online now. The weekly roster (花名册) in IronBark DogPark features 63 dogs, including working dogs, older dogs, and what they call “playful teenagers”. Dogs receive professional attention, while those special participants also benefit from making friends, getting away from computer screens, and exploring new careers like human handlers and so on. Mcvilly works to help people with mental health challenges feel more connected, supported, and also find real purpose. “Although it is a sticky mission, we’re trying our best to create a space where everyone, regardless of their abilities, can build a future in animal care,” Mcvilly said excitedly, pointing out that the dogs play an important role in the project. With the help of its online influence, Mcvilly and her team are working to build partnerships with sympathetic entrepreneurs and donors to further boost community goals, including tailored mental health and disability support. Like other small business owners with a changemaking calling, she understands that building strong bonds with more like-minded people is the most crucial step. Up to now, Mcvilly has offered job opportunities to young people. For Amber, who has an acquired brain injury limiting her mobility, working with dogs is rewarding. “Coming here calms me down and makes me feel relaxed,” Amber says. Some participants even stay on to work at Mcvilly’s enterprise. Sage Conway-Keogh, a hard-of-hearing staff member, is now training to be a dog caregiver. “I’ve always loved animals, and now I am happy to get to work with them every day,” she shares. 24. What makes IronBark DogPark unique? A. Professional dog training services. B. Mental health programs for youth. C. Free medical care for dogs online. D. Career support for special groups. 25. What does the underlined word “sticky” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Vital. B. Secret. C. Demanding. D. Urgent. 26. What is Mcvilly’s plan to advance her project? A. To help more like-minded people. B. To broaden cooperative relations. C. To follow other enterprise models. D. To enhance public health awareness. 27. How has the project helped participants? A. They have landed high-paying jobs. B. They have gained public recognition. C. They have improved their well-being. D. They have learned diverse life skills. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了昆士兰的IronBark DogPark为残疾人和问题青年提供职业支持。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Driven by her love for pets and fellow humans, she started IronBark DogPark, which is more than a place for pets to play and serves as a career platform for the disabled individuals and at-risk youth.(出于对宠物和人类的热爱，她创办了IronBark DogPark，这里不仅是宠物玩耍的地方，也是残疾人和问题青年的职业平台)”可知，IronBark DogPark的独特之处在于它为特殊群体提供职业支持。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Although it is a sticky mission, we’re trying our best to create a space where everyone, regardless of their abilities, can build a future in animal care(尽管这份事业sticky，我们正在尽最大努力创造一个空间，让每个人，无论能力如何，都能在动物护理领域建立未来)”可知，虽然这是一个艰巨的任务，但是他们一直在努力。故sticky意思是“艰巨的”，与demanding同义。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“With the help of its online influence, Mcvilly and her team are working to build partnerships with sympathetic entrepreneurs and donors to further boost community goals, including tailored mental health and disability support.(在其网络影响力的帮助下，Mcvilly和她的团队正努力与有同情心的企业家和捐赠者建立合作关系，以进一步推动社区目标，包括量身定制的心理健康和残疾支持)”可知，Mcvilly推进项目的计划是拓宽合作关系。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“For Amber, who has an acquired brain injury limiting her mobility, working with dogs is rewarding. “Coming here calms me down and makes me feel relaxed,” Amber says.(对于因后天脑损伤而行动不便的Amber来说，和狗一起工作是有益的。“来到这里让我平静下来，让我感到放松，”Amber说)”以及““I’ve always loved animals, and now I am happy to get to work with them every day,” she shares.(“我一直都很喜欢动物，现在我很高兴能每天和它们一起工作，”她分享道)”可知，该项目改善了参与者的健康状况。 C For gardeners who love neatness, autumn is a bit of a mixed blessing. Golden, autumn leaves look beautiful at first, but they soon turn brown and mushy, making many people want to throw them away. However, gardening and wildlife experts say this is unnecessary and even harmful. To those so inclined (有倾向的), Jon Stokes, the director of the Tree Council, shares his experience. “It’s not necessary. In 35 years of having a garden, I’ve never once swept a leaf, because I’ve never had to. They disappear within a week because the earthworms get them. The garden is completely full of wildlife and my grass has never suffered because of it,” he says, “Don’t take them away and drop them at the landfill, because you’ll have just taken all that goodness out of your garden. If you can’t bear to leave them where they are, get the kids to kick them into a corner, stick them in a pile, or let the hedgehogs (刺猬) and earthworms use them.” While gardens covered with fallen leaves may look like a mess to humans, to wildlife they are a vital source of nutrients and shelter. For an earthworm, a fallen leaf is a snack to be rolled up and pulled down into the soil. For an elephant hawk-moth caterpillar, it is a roof under which to shelter until spring. For a hedgehog, it is a bed to roll around in and turn into a nest. Even for a tree, the leafy covering is a source from which to “drink” during dry periods. Experts offer easy ways to balance neatness and nature. Oliver Fry from Surrey Wildlife Trust suggests piling leaves in dry spots for hedgehogs or wet areas for frogs. Leave some leaf-covered areas for insects, but keep others tidy. If you hate rotting leaves, cut them into small pieces — worms will carry them away faster, boosting the soil microorganisms. Adrian Thomas from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds stresses keeping leaves in the garden instead of landfills. Every gardener’s small effort with leaves can help nature a lot. Leaves aren’t waste; they’re free, natural helpers for healthy plants. 28. What does “a mixed blessing” imply in paragraph 1? A. Fallen leaves are beautiful but annoying. B. Autumn is a pleasant but sorrowful. C. Gardening is rewarding but laborious. D. Wildlife is lovely but harmful. 29. What is Jon Stokes’ attitude towards leaf removal? A. Favorable. B. Cautious. C. Opposed. D. Unclear. 30. According to Oliver Pry, what should we do with fallen leaves? A. Carry them away immediately. B. Leave them lying around. C. Send them to the landfill. D. Gather them in certain areas. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Warm the Worms. B. Leave the Leaves. C. Guard the Gardens. D. Balance the Balance. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讨论了秋天落叶对花园的影响，以及园艺和野生动物专家对于处理落叶的建议。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“Golden, autumn leaves look beautiful at first, but they soon turn brown and mushy, making many people want to throw them away.(金黄的秋叶起初看着很美，但很快就会变褐、软烂，让很多人想把它们清理扔掉。)”可知，对于喜爱整洁的园丁来说，秋天喜忧参半。由此可知，a mixed blessing指的是落叶既美观又令人烦恼。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“It’s not necessary. In 35 years of having a garden, I’ve never once swept a leaf, because I’ve never had to. They disappear within a week because the earthworms get them. The garden is completely full of wildlife and my grass has never suffered because of it.(这是不必要的。在35年的花园生涯中，我从来没有扫过一片叶子，因为我从来没有必要这么做。它们在一周内就消失了，因为蚯蚓把它们带走了。花园里到处都是野生动物，我的草从来没有因此受到影响。)”可知，Jon Stokes反对清理树叶。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Oliver Fry from Surrey Wildlife Trust suggests piling leaves in dry spots for hedgehogs or wet areas for frogs. Leave some leaf-covered areas for insects, but keep others tidy.(萨里野生动物信托基金会的Oliver Fry建议将落叶堆放在干燥的地方供刺猬使用，或堆放在潮湿的地方供青蛙使用。留一些有落叶覆盖的地方给昆虫，但保持其他地方整洁。)”可知，Oliver Fry建议将落叶聚集在某些区域。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了秋天落叶对花园的影响，以及园艺和野生动物专家对于处理落叶的建议，即不要把落叶扔掉，而是将它们留在花园里，因为落叶对野生动物和土壤都有好处。文章最后一段中“Leaves aren’t waste; they’re free, natural helpers for healthy plants.(落叶不是废物；它们是免费、天然的植物健康助手。)”也强调了落叶的价值，由此可知，文章合适的标题是“留下落叶”。 D Cities worldwide are witnessing a transformation in urban environments. Wildlife populations in cities are not only surviving but often surpassing those in rural areas. Urban bird populations in cities like Berlin have increased by over 40% in the past two decades. These aren’t just typical pigeons and sparrows, but hawks and owls, and even non-native species that have found urban environments surprisingly pleasant. The urban heat island effect, often seen as a negative consequence of city development, creates micro climates many species find irresistible. Warmer temperatures extend growing seasons, provide frost-free zones, and create diverse micro habitats within a single city block. Urban environments also offer abundant food resource. Raccoon in Toronto have learned some techniques to open garbage cans. The constant availability of food waste and reduced animal hunters in nature create what ecologists call “urban ecological release.” Urban wildlife’s boom (繁荣) not only reshapes ecosystems but brings health benefits to humans. Studies show people in areas with higher biodiversity experience lower rates of autoimmune diseases. Mental health benefits are equally impressive: urban residents who encounter wildlife report lower stress and improved mood. Yet this boom isn’t all positive. Urban animals are developing behaviour changes — increased aggression and interrupted migration routes. Disease spread is also critical as populations grow more crowded, threatening humans and animals alike. Forward-thinking cities are pioneering architectural innovations. Green roofs in Copenhagen aren’t just for beauty — they’re functioning ecosystems supporting plants, insects, and birds, cutting energy costs by up to 30%while providing paths for wildlife to move. Wildlife bridges like Ecoduct de Woeste Hoeve let over 5,000 deer cross highways safely, reducing wildlife-vehicle accidents by 80%. The future of urban wildlife coexistence is promising, driven by tech advances and public awareness — smart tech enables wildlife monitoring, and innovative designs create shared livable spaces. Emerging biotech may revolutionize management: genetic tools help study urban animal adaptation, aiding threatened species. The key is reimagining cities as integrated ecosystems. As urbanization grows, coexistence lessons grow more valuable. The question isn’t whether we can live alongside urban wildlife — it’s whether we dare to embrace the possibilities this partnership offers. 32. What can we know about urban wildlife from Paragraph 1? A. They have grown in diversity. B. They are mainly from rural areas. C. They have adapted to urban pollution. D. They tend to avoid human contact. 33. Why is “urban ecological release” mentioned? A. To present a new ecological concept. B. To stress the constant city development. C. To show the wildlife-friendliness of cities. D. To explain the reduced ecological harm. 34. What can the urban wildlife boom bring? A. Lowered rates of disease spread. B. An improved sense of well-being. C. Impressive migration routes of wildlife. D. Positive behavioural changes in wildlife. 35. What is crucial for urban wildlife coexistence? A. A slower pace of urbanization. B. Adjustment to existing ecosystems. C. Advanced biological technologies. D. An adaptive mindset of coexistence. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。全球城市野生动物数量与多样性增长，城市热岛效应、充足食物等使其繁荣，带来健康益处但也存在隐患，城市通过创新设计推动人与野生动物共存。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“These aren’t just typical pigeons and sparrows, but hawks and owls, and even non-native species that have found urban environments surprisingly pleasant. (这些可不是普通的鸽子和麻雀，而是鹰和猫头鹰，甚至还有一些非本土物种，它们居然也觉得城市环境十分宜人。)”可知，城市野生动物在种类上变得更加丰富了。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The urban heat island effect, often seen as a negative consequence of city development, creates micro climates many species find irresistible. Warmer temperatures extend growing seasons, provide frost-free zones, and create diverse micro habitats within a single city block. Urban environments also offer abundant food resource. Raccoon in Toronto have learned some techniques to open garbage cans. The constant availability of food waste and reduced animal hunters in nature create what ecologists call “urban ecological release.” (城市热岛效应通常被视为城市发展带来的负面后果，但它却造就了许多物种趋之若鹜的微气候环境。温暖的气温延长了作物的生长季节，提供了无霜期，并在单个城市街区内部形成了多样化的微小栖息地。城市环境还提供了丰富的食物资源。在多伦多，浣熊已经学会了打开垃圾桶的一些技巧。食物废弃物的持续供应以及自然界中捕食动物数量的减少，造就了生态学家所说的“城市生态释放。”)”可知，提及“城市生态释放”这一概念旨在展示城市对野生动物的友好程度。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Urban wildlife’s boom (繁荣) not only reshapes ecosystems but brings health benefits to humans. Studies show people in areas with higher biodiversity experience lower rates of autoimmune diseases. Mental health benefits are equally impressive: urban residents who encounter wildlife report lower stress and improved mood. (城市野生动物数量的激增不仅改变了生态系统，还为人类带来了健康益处。研究表明，在生物多样性较高的地区生活的人群患自身免疫性疾病的比例更低。心理健康方面的益处同样显著：与未曾与野生动物接触的居民相比，那些与野生动物有过接触的市民报告称压力更低，情绪也更好。)”可知，城市野生动物数量的激增会带来一种更加强烈的幸福感。故选B。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The key is reimagining cities as integrated ecosystems. As urbanization grows, coexistence lessons grow more valuable. (关键在于将城市重新构想为一个相互关联的生态系统。随着城市化进程的加快，关于如何实现和谐共处的经验教训变得愈发重要。)”可知，对于城市中的野生动物而言，实现和谐共存的关键因素是一种适应性的共存思维模式。故选D。 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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Art class in high school often gets written off as a fun break, not serious like math or science. Nevertheless, anyone who’s lost himself in painting or designing a poster knows better: art is anything but a time-killer. ____36____ Art trains you to notice everything. When you’re drawing a park bench, you don’t just draw wood. ____37____ That careful observation stays with you. Later, when you analyze a poem or spot lab details, you use that same artist’s eye — the ability to see what others miss. Art teaches you to adapt to the unexpected. Imagine you start a watercolor painting of a bright sunset, but suddenly the colors spread into a soft gray sky. Instead of seeing this as a failure, you learn to work with it. Often, that so-called “failure” becomes the most interesting part of your artwork. ____38____ You learn to adapt rather than give up easily. Art enables you to work with people in practical ways. Have you ever done wall painting with your classmates? You can’t paint whatever you want. ____39____ Similarly, playing in the school band, you can’t turn up your violin too loud. You have to fit in with the other instruments. That’s real-world teamwork, a lesson no worksheet can truly teach. ____40____ However, art isn’t getting in the way of learning. It’s the kind of learning that lasts, teaching you to observe, adapt, and work with others — skills that truly matter long after school. A. Some may argue, “No time for art — focus on tests!” B. You take a close look at sunlight on its edges, or small marks left by rain. C. You listen to others’ ideas and work out a common view. D. This is exactly the skill that helps when a test doesn’t go as planned. E. These small details make your drawing look more realistic. F. It shapes how you see the world and who you are. G. It makes you more creative in the watercolor painting. 【答案】36. F 37. B 38. D 39. C 40. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了艺术课在高中教育中的重要性，强调其能培养观察力、适应力和团队合作能力。 【36题详解】 由上文“Art class in high school often gets written off as a fun break, not serious like math or science. Nevertheless, anyone who’s lost himself in painting or designing a poster knows better: art is anything but a time-killer.(高中的艺术课常常被认为是消遣的课，不像数学或科学那样严肃。然而，任何沉浸在绘画或设计海报中的人都知道：艺术绝不是浪费时间。)”可知，上文提到艺术课并非浪费时间，本空应说明艺术课的意义，F选项“它塑造了你如何看待世界以及你是谁。”承接上文。 【37题详解】 由上文“Art trains you to notice everything. When you’re drawing a park bench, you don’t just draw wood.(艺术训练你注意到一切。当你画公园长椅时，你不只是画木头。)”及下文“That careful observation stays with you. Later, when you analyze a poem or spot lab details, you use that same artist’s eye — the ability to see what others miss.(这种仔细的观察会一直伴随着你。后来，当你分析一首诗或发现实验室细节时，你会用同样的艺术家的眼光——看到别人错过的东西的能力。)”可知，上文提到画公园长椅时，不只是画木头，下文提到这种仔细的观察会一直伴随着你，本空应说明画公园长椅时还会观察什么，B选项“你仔细观察边缘的阳光，或者雨水留下的小痕迹。”承上启下。 【38题详解】 由上文“Imagine you start a watercolor painting of a bright sunset, but suddenly the colors spread into a soft gray sky. Instead of seeing this as a failure, you learn to work with it. Often, that so-called “failure” becomes the most interesting part of your artwork.(想象一下，你开始画一幅明亮的日落水彩画，但突然颜色扩散到柔和的灰色天空中。与其把这看作失败，不如学会利用它。通常，这种所谓的“失败”会成为你作品中最有趣的部分。)”及下文“You learn to adapt rather than give up easily.(你学会适应而不是轻易放弃。)”可知，上文提到学会利用“失败”，下文提到学会适应，本空应把绘画中的应变能力延伸到生活场景。D选项“这正是当考试不如预期时帮助你的技能。”承上启下。 【39题详解】 由上文“Art enables you to work with people in practical ways. Have you ever done wall painting with your classmates? You can’t paint whatever you want.(艺术使你能够以实际的方式与人合作。你有没有和同学一起画过墙绘？你不能随心所欲想画什么就画什么。)”及下文“Similarly, playing in the school band, you can’t turn up your violin too loud. You have to fit in with the other instruments. That’s real-world teamwork, a lesson no worksheet can truly teach.(同样，在学校乐队演奏时，你不能把小提琴调得太响。你必须与其他乐器协调一致。这是现实世界的团队合作，是任何工作表都无法真正教授的课程。)”可知，上文提到墙绘时不能想画什么就画什么，下文提到在学校乐队演奏时要与其他乐器协调一致，本空应说明墙绘时要倾听想法、达成共识，C选项“你听取别人的意见，并达成共识。”承上启下。 【40题详解】 由下文“However, art isn’t getting in the way of learning. It’s the kind of learning that lasts, teaching you to observe, adapt, and work with others — skills that truly matter long after school.(然而，艺术并没有妨碍学习。这是一种持久的学习，教会你观察、适应和与他人合作——这些技能在学校毕业后很长时间都很重要。)”可知，下文提到艺术并没有妨碍学习，本空应提出有人反对占用备考时间学艺术的观点。A选项“有人可能会说：‘没时间学艺术——专注于考试吧！’”能引出下文。 第三部分 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。 Last year, I was determined to climb the business ladder.

They stared at the red bicycle that stood proudly in the center of the display. For months, they had saved every spare coin, yet the price still seemed far beyond their reach. When the first snow of winter covered their town, the brothers saw an opportunity. They grabbed their shovels (铲子), determined to turn the snowfall into savings through hard work. They started in their own neighborhood. But many residents had already cleared their walkways, and those who hadn’t only offered a few coins for short paths. After several tiring hours, they had earned just seven dollars — far less than they hoped. Refusing to give up, they headed to Maple Street, where the houses were bigger and the driveways deeper in snow. Noah knocked on the door of a beautiful Victorian house. Mrs. Williams answered, looking like she was in a hurry. When Noah asked if she needed her driveway shoveled, she agreed at once. She took a twenty-dollar bill from her purse and placed it into Noah’s hand. “I have to rush out,” she said with an encouraging smile. “I’ll leave it in your capable hands.” The boys stared at the bill, amazed. Twenty dollars — more than they had made the entire day! Laughing in disbelief, they set to work with fresh energy. The initial excitement carried them through the first hour of work. But as the afternoon darkened and the temperature dropped, the work became harder. Their hands grew numb (麻木)， their muscles ached, and the long driveway seemed endless. Halfway through, Lucas threw down his shovel in frustration (沮丧). “Let’s just go. She’ll never know we didn’t finish.” 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。 Noah’s aching hands seemed to agree with his brother’s words. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As they cleared the final shovel of snow, Mrs. Williams’ car returned. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文（162词） Noah’s aching hands seemed to agree with his brother’s words. For a moment, he stood frozen, torn between exhaustion and responsibility. Walking away meant warmth and rest, yet Mrs. Williams’ trusting smile appeared in his mind, reminding him of the confidence she had placed in them. He held the shovel tightly, bent down, and continued clearing the snow. Lucas watched him quietly and soon joined him without hesitation. Side by side, they worked through the bitter cold. In the fading light, the driveway slowly took shape under their steady effort. As they cleared the final shovel of snow, Mrs. Williams’ car returned. She looked at the perfectly shoveled driveway with pleasant surprise and expressed genuine appreciation, saying that she had known they would keep their promise. A quiet warmth spread inside the boys. On the way home, Noah touched the twenty-dollar bill in his pocket. Their dream of the red bicycle felt a little closer, yet he realized that what they earned that day was far more valuable than money. The lesson about honesty would stay with them long after the snow melted. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Lucas和Noah为买心仪的自行车，下雪天铲雪赚钱，最终坚守诚信完成工作并领悟道理的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Noah酸痛的双手似乎也在赞同哥哥的话。”以及第二段首句内容“当他们铲完最后一铲雪时，Williams夫人的车回来了。”可知，第一段可描写思虑之后，兄弟俩还是决定遵守承诺。 ②由第二段首句内容“当他们铲完最后一铲雪时，Williams夫人的车回来了。”可知，第二段可描写Williams夫人非常感谢他们，而他们也明白了诚实的重要性。 2.续写线索：Noah也赞同哥哥的话，但是，他突然想起Williams夫人的信任——于是他决定继续清理积雪，而Lucas静静看着他，也加入他一起清理积雪——慢慢地，车道开始露出原貌——Williams夫人也回来了——她看着干干净净的车道，非常感动，她感谢了俩人的信守承诺——兄弟俩也明白了诚实的重要性 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①握住：hold/grasp ②成型：take shape/come into being ③信守他们的承诺：keep their promise/keep their word/stick to their promise 情绪类 ①疲惫：exhaustion/weariness ②惊讶：surprise/astonishment 【点睛】【高分句型1】She looked at the perfectly shoveled driveway with pleasant surprise and expressed genuine appreciation, saying that she had known they would keep their promise.（运用了that引导的宾语从句和省略that的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】Their dream of the red bicycle felt a little closer, yet he realized that what they earned that day was far more valuable than money.（运用了that引导的宾语从句和what引导的主语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $高二年级教学质量检测英语听力部分第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Please keep your shirt telling your trousers and sit straight.
