Finally, we climbed to the top of Hongshan Park. From there, we enjoyed a breathtaking panoramic view of the entire city surrounded by snow-capped mountains.

Following Jack's advice, I practiced solving complex problems every day. Whenever I felt stuck, he would patiently explain the logic behind the formulas, turning confusing numbers into understandable patterns. He even created mock exams for me, simulating the real competition environment. Thanks to his guidance and my hard work, I finally managed to stay calm during the contest and solved the tricky questions successfully. When the results were announced and I found my name on the honor list, I knew this achievement belonged to both of us. Later Jack and I went to the same college and joined the same sports club. Although the subjects became more challenging, I no longer felt afraid because I knew I had a reliable partner by my side. Whether it was studying late in the library or running on the track field, Jack was always there to encourage me. He taught me not only how to solve math problems but also how to face life's challenges with confidence. Looking back, I realize that having a hero like Jack as my brother is the greatest gift in my life. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 乌鲁木齐市68中2025-2026学年度第二学期期中检测高二年级英语试卷 考试时间：120 分钟 卷面总分：150分 第一部分语言基础(每小题1分，20题，共20分) 1.

But these friendly pubs can be dangerous places of potential gaffes(失礼) for the newcomers. A team of researchers have discovered some of the unknown customs of British pubs-starting with the difficulty of getting a drink. Most pubs have no waiters-you have to go to the bar to buy drinks. A group of Italian youths waiting 45 minutes before they realized they would have to fetch their own. This may sound inconvenient, but there is a hidden purpose. Pub culture is designed to promote sociability(社交) in a society known for its reserve. Standing at the bar for service allows you to chat with others waiting to be served. The bar counter is possibly the only site in the British Isles in which friendly conversation with strangers is considered entirely suitable and really quite normal behavior. “If you haven't been to a pub, you haven't been to Britain.” This tip can be found in a booklet, Passport to the Pub: The Tourists' Guide to Pub Etiquette, a customers' rule of conduct for those wanting to sample “a central part of British life and culture”. The trouble is that if you do not follow the local rules, the experience may fall flat. For example, if you are in a big group, it is best if only one or two people go to buy the drinks. Nothing annoys the regular customers and bar staff more than a group of strangers blocking all access to the bar while they chat and hesitate about what to order. 24. The underlined word “sample” in the first paragraph probably means“ ”. A. taste B. experience C. test D. record 25. The culture of pub in Britain is so developed to . A. encourage people to communicate with each other B. encourage more people to consume drinks C. attract more tourists to the pubs D.. form its own character of culture 26. If you don't follow the local rules in a pub, . A. you won't buy good local drinks B. you may annoy the regular customers and bar staff C. you may fail to feel the local culture D. you might get into a dangerous place 27. What may be the best title for the passage? A.. Self-service Pubs in Britain B. British Local Pubs: Special Chat Places C. Local Pub Culture in Britain D. Manners in British Local Pubs C It's only 4 hours flying time from Sydney, but a world away. What better place to rest than a country where the only place people hurry is on the football field and things are done in “Fiji time”? Viti Levu—— Great Fiji —— is the largest island. Here you’ll find the capital Suva and the international airport at Nadi. Vatoa, on the other hand, is a tiny island in the farthest part of Fiji. Then there are 331other islands, many of them with places to stay. With less than a million people living on islands, you'll never feel crowded. And with a climate (气候) that changes only for five degrees between seasons, there's never a bad time to come. From cities to villages, from mountains to beaches, from water sports to wooden artworks, Fiji can give you more adventures and special experiences than you could find almost anywhere in the world. Whenever you come, wherever you go, you' re sure to see some unforgettable events, from war dances to religious(宗教的) songs, from market days to religious days. It's not just staged for tourists; it's still a part of everyday life in Fiji. And any one of us can enjoy Fiji's spirit by being part of the traditional (传统的) sharing of yaqona — a drink made from the root of a Fiji plant. So why not join us for the experience of a lifetime? 28. Where is the international airport of Fiji? A. In Suva. B. In Sydney. C. On the island of Vatoa. D. On the island of Viti Levu. 29. What does the text tell us about Fijian people? A、 They invented “Fiji time” for visitors. B. They stick to a traditional way of life. C. They like to travel from place to place. D. They love taking adventures abroad. 30. One of the things that make Fiji a tourist attraction is . A. its comfortable hotels B. its good weather all year round C. its exciting football matches D. its religious beliefs 31. Where can we most probably read this text? A. in a personal diary. B. In a science report. C. In a travel magazine. D In a geography textbook. D Given the popularity of inexpensive food that promotes overeating, it makes sense that we try to guard against “cheap and unhealthy” food in an effort to be healthy. But we may be overcorrecting, forgetting that “cheap and healthy” food exists, too. According to a recent study, many people believe that healthy food must be more expensive than unhealthy food, and that healthy food just needs to be expensive. In fact, the researcher found that a high-price tag(标签) will even convince consumers that a certain food is healthful. “It's concerning. The findings suggest that price of food alone can affect our understanding of what is healthy,” Rebecca Reczek, researcher of the study, said. According to Reczek, the purpose of the study was to examine the popular belief, also known as a lay(非专业的) theory, that eating healthy food means spending more money. In one experiment, Reczek gave participants a new food product. Some participants were told the product was very healthy. Others were told the product had little nutritional value. Participants who were told the product was good for them rated it as pricier(更昂贵的) than those who thought it was unhealthy in another experiment, participants were given a health faod bar labeled (用标签标明) as “the healthy protein bar on the planet”. Some participants were told the bar cost just $0.99, while others were told the bar was $4. And here's what happened: The people who were given the “cheaper” bar needed to read more reviews about the product when it was priced at a lower price point in order to trust that it was healthy. The idea that we all believe healthy food needs to be more expensive works against Reczek. “We don't have to be misled,” she said. “We can compare nutrition labels and we can do research before we go to the grocery store. We can use facts rather than our intuition(直觉).” 32. Which of the following statements reflects the author's opinion? A. The cheaper food is, the less people will eat. B. People's health awareness needs improving. C. The price of food can't reflect its health degree. D. It is wrong of people to seek health at all costs. 33. Why did Reczek carry out the study? A. To prove her belief. B. To test a lay theory. C. To promote healthy eating. D. To examine people's idea of health. 34. What does Reczek suggest we do? A. Ignore nutrition labels. B. Believe our intuition. C. Shop smartly. D. Ignore the price tag. 35. What can be the best title for the text? A People falsely believe pricier food is healthier B. Don't be misled by price tags any more C. What influences our choices when we buy food? D How to eat cheaply and healthily? 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。 I love learning foreign languages so much that I learn a new language every two years. When people find I'm a polyglot(通晓多种语言的人), they always ask me, “How do you do that?” Honestly, my answer will be,“I don't know. I simply love learning languages.” 36 They want to know why they spend years learning even one language, never achieving fluency, and what's the secret of being polyglots. 37 . And what do we have in common? I decided to find that out. I went to several events where language lovers gather to practice their languages, asked dozens of polyglots about methods they use, and heard dozens of approaches. Everybody seems to have a unique way to speak several languages fluently. 38 All these polyglots talked about language learning as if it was great fun. They found ways to turn language learning from a boring subject into a pleasant daily activity. You should have seen their faces when they were showing me their colorful grammar charts and handmade flash cards. 39The methods are various, but they make sure it's something enjoyable. I realized it's actually how I learn. 4) . Then interesting programs became my choice. So all is clear. If you don't like writing words down on paper, type them in an app. If you' re a shy person, apply selftalk at home. This is how polyglots learn languages, and the best news is that it's available to anyone willing to take the learning into their own hands. A. How can those with little talent be fluent? B. But people are never happy with the reply. C. There's no shortcut to learning languages for anyone. D. One of them even made recipes in a foreign language. E. That made me wonder, too, how other polyglots actually do it. F. When learning Spanish last year, I was bored with textbooks. G. Polyglots simply found ways to enjoy the language-learning process. 第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分40分) 第一节完形填空(共15 小题；每小题1分，满分 15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I was an angry adolescent in my first years of college.

Since he did everything before me, he always guided me and shared with his experiences l would have never had otherwise. As a master of learning and sports, he always accompanied me to study and take exercise. And he even got me through difficulties in life. My first steps into high school were exciting but nervous, and I believed my extracurricular grades would be seen and valued by colleges. However, this sudden shift was difficult for me. Luckily, my brother noticed it all. During that time, Jack was beginning his senior year and was finished with all the stressful subjects from junior year while I was studying for my very first math exam. Rather than just break into my room and sit down next to me, he let me decide by myself. He didn't want to bother me because having someone sit next to me and micromanage my every move made me feel uncomfortable, leading to more stress and a feeling of distrust. Knowing this, he would leave me chips and snacks by my door, so I could pick them up whenever I felt like taking a break. He was there to help wnenever I needed. With his encouragement and company, I became more confident while doing my homework. The workload was just a major struggle for me during high school. Homework from advanced classes began piling up, and I was often stressed about different projects and deadlines. Moreover, there was also a math competition that my parents valued a lot, which needed plenty of practice every single day. Even though I liked the time my brother gave me to figure out things on my own. it was reassuring to always have somebody who was willing to help me when I was stuck on an unsolvable problem. He would help me memorize formulas, explain different terms to me, and point out traps in different questions. And with his reputation as the best math student in our school, he could make those topics and questions simple to understand. 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。 I began to spend hours at my desk focusing on getting a good score in the math competition. Later Jack and I went to the same college and joined the same sports club. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
