Anna decided she wanted to be a nurse when she was a kid."My auntie was a nurse and she encouraged me to become one.I saw her getting dressed every morning going to work.That inspired me to follow in her footsteps and become a nurse too."To pursue this goal,Anna came to study at Maridi School of Nursing with a governmental scholarship.There she learned about various medical procedures and patient care techniques.After she graduated,she first worked with different health centers before getting a job with MSF. Thanks to the Nursing Initiative of the MSF Academy,Anna had the chance to further improve her knowledge and skills.She then returned to her village and became a learning companion ()offering one-on-one guidance to other nurses at the bedside. "Most of the nurses here don't have the chance to go to school,so they may be lacking some knowledge,"Anna explained."I wanted to become a learning companion to transfer the knowledge that I have from college to my colleagues.I am able to translate everything for them and they understand it better than from the class."Anna never hesitates to share everything she knows,always explaining patiently,again and again. Anna credits her skills and motivation to the MSF Academy training."It has really improved the staffs work,and patient care is simpler now,"she said.Now,with the platform provided by MSF,she continues to inspire and empower her colleagues,proving that shared knowledge multiplies care. 24.What inspired Anna to be a nurse? A.Her aunt's career example. B.The MSF Academy training. C.Her work as a companion. D.The scholarship opportunity 25.Which of the following words can best describe Anna according to paragraph 3 and paragraph 4? A.Skilled and ambitious B.Dedicated and selfless.

C.It has created chances to work internationally D.It has reduced workload and improved teamwork. 27.What can be a suitable title for the text?

You grab your phone to text your mum,but an ad jumps out:50%off your favourite brand!"One tap leads to another,ten minutes later you have looked through reviews,filled a cart and almost missed your own slide.This phenomenon is called "popcorn(爆米花)brain'”, The term was introduced in 2011 by researcher David Levy from the University of Washington.It describes a mental state where attention wanders,and thoughts jump quickly from one topic to another- just like popcorn popping rapidly in a hot pan. People with popcorn brain find it hard to concentrate or maintain a clear line of thinking.University of California Researcher Gloria Mark tracked 2,000 American office workers and students in her two-decade study on attention with silent screen recorders and heart-rate belts.In 2004 people stayed on one task for 2.5 minutes on average,by 2020 the figure had fallen to 47 seconds.Heart-rate data showed that every extra switch raised a stress hormone(荷尔蒙)by about7%. Studies show that digital technology,especially social media,worsens this condition.Data Reportal's 2024 report pooled screen-time records from 1.3 million users in 40 countries and found further proof.For instance,people in America aged 16-24 averaged 7 hours 3 minutes online per day,equaling roughly 17 years of adult life.Such constant digital saturation trains the brain to prefer short bursts of information.As a result,focusing on one task becomes harder.Information overload also affects memory,decision-making, and emotional control. The cure,tested in follow-up trials,is brief:set clear tech boundaries.Recommended strategies include limiting daily screen time,turning off non-essential notification,and creating tech-free periods or spaces. Building a structured daily routine is also advised:individuals can begin by measuring their current focus duration,then set realistic goals and stick to a fixed schedule for important tasks.This consistent practice strengthens habits and prepares your mind and body to focus on the task for a longer period without getting popcorn brain. 28.How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1? A.By defining a concept. B.By providing statistics C.By giving an example. D.By describing experiences. 29.What can be inferred from the data in Gloria Mark's study? A.Attention on a task dropped half in decades. B.Frequent switching may increase mental stress. C.People's average screen time decreased steadily D.Shortened screen time may lead to higher heart disease risk 30.What does the underlined word"saturation"in paragraph 4 mean? A.Exposure. B.Innovation. C.Demand. D.Security 31.According to the passage,what is suggested to prevent getting popcorn brain"? A.Setting aside no-device areas. B.Changing daily schedules flexibly. C.Using more advanced digital devices.D.Checking essential notification regularly. 高二英语试卷第5页（共10页） D For years,media headlines have described a serious situation regarding bee populations.They frequently warn that a global decline in bee species is just around the corner.But is it as straightforward as it appears?In fact,bee numbers tell a tale of two trends. In the United States,bee populations have encountered significant obstacles in recent decades According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO),since the 1960s the number of honeybee colonies in the United States has dropped significantly from around 5.5 million to approximately 2.5 million.In contrast to the declines observed in the West,some Asian countries have experienced stable or even growing bee populations.Several factors contribute to this positive trend:diverse natural landscapes,mild climates,and the expansion of commercial beekeeping.For instance,China-the world's largest honey producer-has significantly expanded its managed honeybee populations to meet growing global demand,which helps make up for declines in wild bee populations. The idea of a global bee population collapse may not fully reflect the complexity of the situation.While some regions are experiencing alarming losses,others are seeing increases,demonstrating that active and effective measures can lead to positive outcomes.Regions facing declines can stabilize and even restore their bee populations by carying out stronger conservation policies and sustainable farming practices.Key measures include the use of health-boosting treatments to strengthen bees'immunity against pests and diseases,and the protection of diverse floral()habitats to ensure a continuous and abundant food supply throughout the year.Meanwhile,countries experiencing population growth must remain alert to emerging threats to safeguard their long-term ecological progress and stability. Bees play a vital role in global food security and biodiversity.Their future depends on our collective ability to adapt,innovate,and protect their habitats.Instead of focusing only on declines,we should also learn from and follow the success stories of growing bee populations around the world. 32.What is the author's attitude toward media reports on bee population? A.Supportive. B.Critical. C.Unconcerned. D.Confused. 33.What has led to the growth of bee populations in some Asian countries? A.The diverse and growing number of wild bee populations. B.The development of new technology in the beekeeping industry. C.The favorable environment and the growing beekeeping industry. D.The rising global demand for wild bee honey and its by-products. 34.What can be inferred about the efforts to address bee population decline? A.Current measures have limited impact. B.Scientific creativity plays a leading role C.Economic growth worsens ecological problems. D.Targeted actions help turn around negative trends. 高二英语试卷第6页（共10页） 35.What is the author's main purpose in writing the text? A.To give a detailed report on changes in bee populations B.To raise a warning about the collapse of bee populations. C.To clarify trends in bee populations and suggest solutions D.To outline the problems in beekeeping and analyze the causes. 第二节（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。 Gardening season is in full bloom,but keeping track of which seedling (is which can be really tricky.Enter DIY oven-bake clay garden markers-these little lifesavers aren't just practical;they also add a special charm to your greenery. To kick off your garden marker project,you'll need to get hands-on with some oven-bake clay.Start by kneading(揉捏)a piece of clay(黏土)in your hands for a few minutes一think of it as a mini workout for your fingers.36Then,place it on the baking sheet and roll it out evenly to about 1/4 inch thick. 37 You might go for a classic straight marker with a pointed end to stick directly into the soil,or perhaps you're feeling a bit more adventurous and want to create a round or heart shape with a hole to hang from a metal post. Then give your garden markers some personality!Grab your favorite rubber stamps and press them firmly into the clay to make an impression.You can stamp the names of your plants,like "basil"or “tomatoes”?,to keep things organized.38 Now that your garden markers are looking great,it's time to set them in stone.Follow the instructions on the clay package for baking.Generally,bake the markers at a low temperature (around 275F)for about 15 minutes per 1/4 inch of thickness.39 Then,they'll be ready to give your garden a stylish look! Finally,decide on the finishing touches.40 If you're feeling fancy,a coat of paint can be applied for a long-lasting finish and shine.Whether you're channeling your inner Picasso with bright colors or leaving them in their natural state to provide an earthy feel,which is equally charming,the choice is all yours. A.Remember to keep an eye on it. B.Allow them to cool completely afterward. C.Add some fun and creativity to your garden D.This softens the clay and makes it more workable. E.Now comes the fun part:shaping your garden markers! F.You may smooth rough edges with sandpaper for a polished look. G.It's also a good idea to go wild with fun phrases like potato wonderland". 高二英语试卷第7页（共10页） 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四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳 选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I had just started my first year of college when a bike ran into me.The cyclist raced down the slope( too fast,the brakes 41,and the whole bike hit me full on and I crashed to the ground.

Paragraph 2:Sitting down together,Tom and Jack began to talk about the project.Tom,with a serious look,said,"It's your stories that can truly make our presentation stand out and capture the audience's attention."Jack nodded in agreement,replying,"And it's your data that gives our work solid credibility."As they worked together,the former misunderstanding gradually was prelaced by a feeling of unity.They not only found common ground but also made their bond stronger.At that moment,they came to know that their friendship was much stronger than any small argument. Genuine fiiendships can thrive through mutual understanding and teamwork,empowering people to face future challenges together. 【解析】 【导语】本文以友谊为线索展开，讲述了Tom和Jack因项目意见不合大吵一架，关系紧张， 老师发现后希望他们化解矛盾、继续合作完成项目。 【详解】 ①由第一段首句内容Tom和Jack彼此对视，眼中满是尴尬。可知，第一段可描写在老师话 语的影响下，两人回忆起过往友谊，意识到不该因争吵破坏感情，Tom主动道歉。Jack接受 道歉。 ②由第二段首句内容坐在一起后，Tom和Jack开始讨论这个项目。可知，第二段可描写两 人在讨论中相互认可对方的想法，化解了之前的紧张关系，友谊更加牢固。 2.续写线索：老师劝说—To道歉—Jack接受道歉—共同讨论项目一相互认可 友谊加固 听力原文： l.【原文】W:Why do you think you are fit for this job?
