As a child, he loved bird-watching with his father. He attended the University of Chicago, earning a degree in zoology in 1947. During these years his boyhood interest in bird-watching had developed into a serious love for learning genetics. Watson was given a scholarship to Indiana University where he received his doctorate in 1950. Watson then moved to Copenhagen, continuing with his research. He became interested in the DNA molecule (分子) and joined a research team at the Cavendish Laboratory of the University of Cambridge with Francis Crick. Here, Watson made his famous discovery recognizing the double helix structure (双螺旋结构) of DNA. He became a professor of biology at Harvard University in 1955, a job he held until 1976. His research at Harvard zeroed in on RNA and its role in passing on genetic information, uncovering RNA’s function in gene expression. He also became the director of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York in 1968, a job that he held for 35 years. Watson turned the lab into a world center for research in molecular biology. Watson fixed his research at the lab on exploring molecular biology and genetics in order to advance the understanding and ability to recognize human diseases, and other causes of human suffering. Watson got worldwide fame as the co-author of four scientific papers between 1953 and 1954 that laid down the double helix structure of DNA. This discovery won him the Nobel Prize in 1962. During the 1960s, Watson became one of the most celebrated science writers, when he published his textbook Molecular Biology of the Gene in 1965 and his best-seller The Double Helix in 1968. Watson became the unquestioned leading voice in the whole of American science. He is a good example of the scientific creativity in 20th-century science, giving rise to molecular biology and two ways it has been put to use: biotechnology and the “Human Genome Project”. 24. When did James Watson get his second degree? A. After he became a professor. B. After he moved to Copenhagen. C. When he was about 22 years old. D. When he studied in the University of Chicago. 25. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “zeroed in on”? A. Concentrated on. B. Gave up. C. Switched off. D. Lived off. 26. What can we know about James Watson? A. He only focused on DNA structure research. B. He was good at both science and writing. C. His books didn’t gain popularity. D. He never won the Nobel Prize for DNA research. 27. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To compare different fields of science. B. To encourage readers to study genetics. C. To explain the importance of DNA double helix. D. To introduce James Watson’s life and achievements. C Have you ever heard of the Internet hashtag (话题标签) “20 minutes for parks”? It refers to a theory that suggests that spending just 20 minutes in a park each day can help reduce stress, no matter how you choose to spend that time. In the Douban interest group “We Love Strolling in the Park”, enthusiasts from both home and abroad share their park experiences, post photos, and offer recommendations and reviews of parks. Huang Bingbing, a Shenzhen-based practitioner (实践者) of this idea, began visiting the small park located just downstairs from her company office during her weekday lunch breaks over three years ago. “On that piece of grass, I could connect with living plants and animals. It allowed me to refresh my mind and heal from the stress of work,” Huang explained. Huang believes that parks are private spaces. She considers herself a shy person, and parks serve as the perfect recharging spot for introverts. She often spends time alone in parks, free from worrying about social interactions. At the same time, parks also serve as public spaces. Cheng Yuyan, 25, the founder of the “We Love Strolling in the Park” interest group that Huang follows, observed something interesting during her visits to parks in America. She noticed that many park benches were donated by local residents and featured the donors’ nameplates. Additionally, many parks offered guidebooks detailing the history, geography, and blooming schedules of the plants within. Inspired by these practices, Cheng believes people can further deepen their connection with parks by fostering (培养) a sense of ownership. She plans to encourage members of her Douban group to adopt similar responsibilities. “I hope this group shows more social responsibility. Each of us can become a guardian and contributor to the parks and our city,” she said. 28. Why does the author write the first paragraph? A. To show the types of parks. B. To describe a scene. C. To compare scientists’ opinions. D. To lead into the topic. 29. What do Huang’s words show in Paragraph 3? A. The benefits she got from visiting the park. B. The main business of her company. C. Her opinions about the interest group. D. The reason why she worked in the company. 30. What can be known about parks in America? A. They provided a place for charging the cars. B. They often gave rewards to those who often took a walk. C. They never accepted park benches donated by people. D. They offered guidebooks with detailed information about plants. 31. What does Cheng Yuyan plan to do? A. To promote indoor activities. B. To protect and support parks. C. To exchange park experiences. D. To call on people to protect the environment. D Postmates, an American delivery company, has built a robot, called Serve, which was designed to make short-distance deliveries in cities. To know what’s going on, Serve has a laser radar (激光雷达) sensor on top, in which spinning lasers let it detect objects around it and know how far away they are. Also, behind each artificial eye is a camera, with six more imaging devices spread around the robot. Inside it is another sensor that allows Postmates to know if there is a package in there. “One of our key decisions early on was to rely heavily on the robot’s ability to see the environment,” says Ali Kashani, the vice president for robotics at Postmates. “Since the sidewalk is a very chaotic environment,” he points out, “the robot needs to be able to take it all in and figure out what to do. This robot, and many like it, also must be able to show their intentions to the pedestrians (行人). For that, it has a number of approaches. One is using its eyes; another is a colorful light ring that goes around the top. When it wants to make way for a pedestrian, it will use its eyes and look down,” he explains. “It can also use the lights on the top as a turn signal, which is obvious, and also look left and right when it’s turning left and right.” “Using eye movements and other silent signals is a good idea,” says Aaron Steinfeld, a professor of human-robot interaction. Serve is intended for sidewalks and Steinfeld says that environment is challenging. People usually walk fast while staring at a smartphone. For a robot, that’s a lot. “We have active research on robot moving socially around walking people,” he says. “And it’s really tricky to do this well.” Postmates plans to use Serve in Los Angeles at first, and its intended task is to move small objects over short distances. The robot can travel 30 miles on one charge and is able to carry 50 pounds. 32. What is the function of Serve? A. To make short-distance deliveries. B. To clean city sidewalks. C. To guide pedestrians on roads. D. To carry heavy goods for the deliverymen. 33. How does Serve know about the objects around it? A. By following GPS signals. B. By asking the deliverymen for help. C. By using a laser radar sensor. D. By communicating with pedestrians. 34. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The design of Serve’s artificial eyes. B. Aaron Steinfeld’s research on robots. C. Why streets are dangerous for pedestrians. D. How Serve senses the environment and shows intentions. 35. What can be known from the last paragraph? A. Serve is able to carry heavy goods. B. Serve will first be used in Los Angeles. C. Serve can travel 50 miles on one charge. D. Serve will be used in all U.S. cities soon. 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。 What will happen in thirty years’ time? No one really knows, but architects are trying to predict: 36 Future houses will have to be flexible. 37 So we will have to be able to use areas of the houses for work for part of the day and for living for the rest. Families grow and change with children arriving, growing up and leaving home. The house of the future will have to grow and change with the family. Nothing will be as fixed as it is now.

What food shall we cook?" And the machine will tell us what food we will have to buy and how to cook it. 39 And we just need to taste things from time to time to check. The house of the future will be personalized. 40 You won’t have to paint them — you’ll be able to tell the wall to change the color!

The first is the Bailong Elevator. The Bailong Elevator, 61 (design) to address the traffic problem and reduce damage to the natural environment, was launched in 1999. 62 (transport) a group of 50 people to a height of 326 meters in less than two minutes makes it an impressive structure and one that 63 (offer) amazing views all the way.

The black and white squares made him think of his dreams and problems. His parents had different ideas about his future in chess. His mum was excited and had high hopes. She was already finding the best chess coaches and making a strict training plan for him. She believed he could become a famous chess master and even win championship, which brings honor to the family. His dad, on the other hand, had always emphasized the importance of a balanced life. He thought chess was a great hobby but shouldn’t take over other parts of Josh’s life, like school and friendships. Josh felt torn. He loved chess with all his heart. The feeling of strategizing and outwitting (智胜) his opponents on the board was exciting. But he also cherished the carefree days of playing basketball with his friends at the park and the evenings spent reading adventure novels. As days went by, tension grew at home. His mum kept talking about chess tournaments, while his dad tried to change the subject. Josh found it hard to focus on school or even enjoy chess. One evening, after a big argument between his parents, Josh went to the park. He used to play chess there with his dad. Sitting on a bench, he watched the sunset and thought about what he really wanted. An old man with a kind face came over. He saw the chessboard and asked if he could play a game. As they played, the man told Josh about his past, when he had to choose between his passion and others’ expectations. “Son,” the old man said, “listen to your heart. Whatever you choose, do your best and don’t regret it.” That night, Josh went home with a clear mind. He knew what he had to do. 注意： （1）写作词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next morning, Josh sat his parents down at the kitchen table._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Josh’s Dad nodded in agreement, with a look of relief on his face.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 靖边中学2025—2026学年度第一学期期中考试 高二英语试题参考答案及评分标准 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 1.

In healthcare, AI helps doctors make more accurate diagnoses and treat patients more effectively. In education, it offers students personalized learning experiences and makes learning more interesting. In daily life, AI assistants make our work and life more convenient and efficient. However, AI also brings challenges. It may cause job losses. Privacy and safety are also important issues we must face. In my opinion, we should accept AI with an open mind. At the same time, we must develop rules and laws to keep it under control. In this way, AI can benefit us without doing harm. 第二节（满分25分） 参考范文： The next morning, Josh sat his parents down at the kitchen table. Taking a deep breath, he said, “I’ve decided to keep chess as a passion, not a profession.” His mother’s smile faded, but Josh continued, “I love chess, but I also want time for friends, school, and other things that make me happy.” He shared the old man’s advice, adding, “If I force myself to only play chess, I might end up hating it.” His mum sighed, her eyes glistening. “I just want you to succeed,” she admitted. Josh reached for her hand. “I will — but in my own way. Maybe I’ll join local tournaments for fun, not pressure.” Josh’s dad nodded in agreement, with a look of relief on his face. “Balance is success too,” he said, patting Josh’s shoulder. The tension in the room melted as they compromised: Josh would train twice a week, leaving weekends free for other activities. That afternoon, Josh met his friends at the park, chessboard under one arm and a basketball in the other. For the first time in weeks, he laughed freely, knowing he’d honored both his heart and his family. The chessboard remained a symbol of joy — not a battlefield of expectations. 听力材料 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。每段对话仅读一遍。 （Text 1） W: Have you seen Tom?

I’m going to spend another three weeks touring other parts of Australia. M: Then I think you should walk around the rocks.

Whenever I go back to Sydney, I enjoy sitting outdoors with a cup of coffee, watching the people passing by. W: That sounds like a good idea. Well, thanks for the suggestion.
