I lac had any told BBC science focus. With this in mind, the research team started by recording plants sounds. They divided the plants into three groups. One group wasn't watered for five days, another group had the stems cut off, and the last group remained untouched. The microphones caught sounds at a frequency of forty to eighty kilo hurts from the first two groups. The sounds grew louder and louder during the five days of water stress. They then began to decline as the plants stride out. The researchers haven't yet discovered how the sounds are made. After the experiment, the team gathered the data and made software that could tell how plants feel IT could be useful for farmers and monitoring the conditions of their crops.

One group wasn’t watered for five days, another group had the stems cut off and the last group remained untouched.

We headed for a natural reserve to explore diverse wildlife under professional guidance. I focused on observing rare insects and local plants, making detailed notes and drawing vivid sketches to record my findings. It was beyond expectation to witness how all creatures live in harmony with the surroundings. This meaningful activity deepened my understanding of nature greatly. Not only did it enrich my after-school life, but it also strengthened my sense of responsibility to protect the ecological environment. I really cherish this precious experience. 第二节（满分25分） 参考范文 The next morning, I made up my mind to talk to Jim. During the break, I hesitated for a moment before walking to his desk. “Hi, Jim,” I said nervously, “I was deeply impressed by your essay yesterday. The old library you described felt so vivid, like a real place I’d visited.” His eyes widened in surprise, and a faint smile crept onto his face. “Thank you,” he replied softly, “I often imagine such places when I feel lonely.” The awkwardness melted away, and a tentative friendship began to bloom. We chatted about our favorite authors and writing habits, and I soon found that his quiet exterior hid a passionate and thoughtful soul. It was this shared passion for stories that led us to sign up for the upcoming writing competition together. As the writing competition drew near, Jim and I became partners. We spent lunch breaks and after-school hours polishing our drafts together. I shared my experience in structuring plots and refining logical flow, while Jim taught me to incorporate more sensory details. We brainstormed ideas and encouraged each other not to give up. On the day of the competition, we wished each other good luck with sincere smiles. When the results were announced, we both won first prizes. Our teacher commented, “Your works complement each other. That’s the magic of collaboration.” Standing side by side, I realized my father was right: true talent shines brighter when shared. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 佳一中2025-2026学年度第二学期期中考试 英语试题 时间：120分钟 总分：150分 第I卷 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) 听下面五段对话，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。每段对话读两遍。 1．When will the man leave for the party?

The book is a reflection of Lin Yutang’s view that true happiness can only be found in the small pleasures of everyday life. In the book, he challenges traditional concepts of success and happiness, arguing that the pursuit of wealth and fame can lead to a life of stress and unhappiness. Instead, he encourages readers to embrace their own unique habits and talents, and to find joy and meaning in their everyday experiences. The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of the art of living. In the section “Sensations”, for example, Lin Yutang describes the pleasure of eating, drinking, and sleeping, and he encourages readers to take time to enjoy these experiences. He writes, “The Chinese are gastronomes (美食家). They love to eat, and they eat with enthusiasm.” In the section “Freedom, Lin Yutang explores the importance of individuality and creativity in living a satisfying life. He writes, “The important thing is not what we do, but how we do it. The important thing is not what we have, but how we use it.” Throughout the book, Lin Yutang’s unique brand of humor is evident. He uses wit to comment on social and political issues, and to challenge traditional values and customs. For example, he writes, “Some Chinese are gossipers (说闲话者). They love to talk about each other, and they talk with enjoyment.” This observation reflects his belief that gossip can be harmless amusement, and that it can even bring people together. Overall, The Importance of Living is an interesting read. Lin Yutang’s unique sense of humor and insight (洞察力) make it a pleasure to read, and his philosophy of life is both inspiring and practical. Lin Yutang’s wit, wisdom, and creativity are fully presented, which continue to attract readers around the world today. 24．What is the art of living according to Lin Yutang? A．Getting a sense of achievement in big successes. B．Finding and enjoying happiness in daily life. C．Exploring different talents from an early age. D．Developing a healthy living habit. 25．What does Lin Yutang want to express through the section “Freedom”? A．The way we think and deal with things matters. B．The preference for food shows, our personality. C．Creativity exists in different forms in life. D．We tend to consider wealth and fame first. 26．Why are gossipers mentioned in Paragraph 3? A．To show Lin’s openness to social issues. B．To stress Lin’s rich knowledge and experience. C．To describe Lin’s deep research on the Chinese. D．To express Lin’s hate for gossip. 27．What is the author’s purpose in writing this text? A．To explain Lin Yutang’s philosophy of life. B．To illustrate Lin Yutang’s writing style. C．To show Lin Yutang’s achievements. D．To introduce Lin Yutang’s book. C Offshore oil leaks have caused some of the worst man-made disasters in history. And while adding a whirl (漩涡) of fire to the mix might sound like the opposite of a good solution, new research has found it might be the best way to clean up our mess. When dealing with major oil leaks, emergency responders often set fire to the floating oil on the ocean’s surface, creating “on-site” fire pools that stop the oil from spreading further. But while this protects the marine environment, such fires send huge clouds of smoke and poisonous smoke into the atmosphere. Taking inspiration from an unusual 2003 incident in Kentucky — where a Bourbon Whisky leak sent 800,000 gallons up in flames, circling into a 30 m fire whirl on a lake — Professor Elaine Oran and her team began to wonder whether the same process could be used for good. So the team constructed a 4.8 m-tall, three-walled triangular structure at a fire training facility in Texas, with a pool of raw oil floating on water at its centre. When lit, it produced a nearly 5.2 m fire whirl. The first large-scale experiment shows fire whirls burn oil leaks faster and cleaner than fire pools, proving their game-changing potential for ocean cleanups. Compared to conventional fire pools, it burned through oil 40% faster, cut smoke production by 40%, and consumed up to 95% of the fuel. The secret is in the whirl. Rather than spreading outward, the vortex (涡流) breathes in oxygen from all sides — burning hotter and more completely. But employing that power is easier said than done. Fire whirls are temperamental; too much wind and the column collapses, too little airflow control and it returns to a conventional fire pool. Despite this, Oran said achieving the “Goldilocks Zone” in the field is “very realistic”. “This study is more than just an experiment. It’s a brief view into a future where fire isn’t a force of destruction, but a tool to protect our oceans and planet,” she said. 28．What is the disadvantage of traditional oil burning? A．It fails to stop oil from spreading. B．It’s difficult to operate on site. C．It destroys marine life seriously. D．It causes serious air pollution. 29．Why did Elaine Oran’s team carry out the experiment? A．To figure out the cause of the Kentucky accident. B．To test whether fire whirls can clean oil leaks better. C．To acquire more experience for fire training in Texas. D．To prove the conventional fire pools are not reliable. 30．What does the underlined word “temperamental” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A．Difficult to control. B．Costly to produce. C．Extremely powerful. D．Naturally changing. 31．What conclusion can be drawn about the fire whirl technique? A．It’s been actually used in real oil leak accidents. B．It needs testing in some small-scale experiments. C．It will eventually replace other cleanup methods. D．It has promising potential in ocean conservation. D “I write to find out what I’m thinking,” wrote the great American journalist John Dos Passos. Anyone engaged in writing understands this truth: the act of writing transforms half-formed ideas into precise, logical thought. What sounds coherent (有条理的) when spoken often appears weak and illogical when committed to paper. A recent MIT study provides convincing scientific evidence for this claim. Researchers used wearable (可穿戴的) brain scanners to compare students who wrote essays independently with those using AI assistance. The findings were clear: AI-assisted writers “consistently under-performed at brain, verbal, and behavioral levels.” They demonstrated (显示，证明) that we need to write in order to think deeply. This research emerges (出现) at a critical historical moment for literacy (读写能力). Childhood reading has reached record lows, with nearly half of British adults not reading a single book last year. Adult literacy is declining or making no progress across most OECD countries. Notably, average IQs have begun to decline since the 1980s, along with reasoning (推理的) and problem-solving abilities — a trend that is unlikely to be random. Walter Ong’s influential (有影响力) work “Orality and Literacy” illuminates why writing is essential. He argued that literacy enabled Ancient Greece’s intellectual revolution. Oral cultures must “think memorable thoughts”, relying on rhyme, emotion, and cliché (陈词滥调) to preserve knowledge. Writing, by contrast, allows for precise, complex statements that can be examined, reviewed, and developed into logical arguments. In our digital age, no technology has surpassed the complicated architecture of the book. While the internet offers fragmented (碎片化的) information, books provide rich context and sustained (持续的) logical connections. Reading is an active process that demands engagement and concentration — it is essentially thinking in dialogue with the text. As our culture becomes increasingly dominated (支配) by short-form videos and attention-fragmenting content, we risk losing the capacity for complex reasoning. Reading and writing form the foundation of serious thought — a habit that unites history’s greatest minds. Before we yield (让步) our cognitive development to screens and algorithms (算法), we must carefully consider what we might be sacrificing. 32．What is the function of writing according to John Dos Passos? A．Revealing flaws in speech. B．Recording spoken words. C．Organizing thoughts. D．Ensuring fluency. 33．What is the key advantage of writing over oral cultures? A．It ensures greater objectivity. B．It makes for logical statements. C．It preserves knowledge longer. D．It requires “memorable thoughts” 34．Why does the author describe reading as “thinking in dialogue with the text”? A．To stress its interactive feature. B．To contrast with online reading. C．To underline its logical structure. D．To highlight its cultural relevance. 35．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Decline of Adult Literacy. B．Writing and Reading-Keys to Deep Thinking C．Digital Age and Reading Habits D．IQ Decline and Reading Ability. 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填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 People favor humor,as it lights up daily moments,eases awkwardness and makes every interaction warm and enjoyable.This-magic of humor doesn't just work in daily Iife. 36 A little humor can greatly enhance scientists' communication effect. Firstly, humor simplifies tough scientific knowledge. 37 . For example, explaining AI in self-driving cars with a funny analogy about “machines learning like clumsy toddlers” makes abstract ideas easy for non-professional groups to understand. 38 Scientists sharing clever and humorous stories about laboratory experiments on social media often attract more interactions than dry academic posts. Additionally, humor humanizes scientists, as seen in popular science lectures where light-hearted jokes help audiences feel closer to researchers. 39 The hidden risks deserve our attention. If the content itself is untrue, humor can even replace facts, leading the audience to form wrong opinions about scientific knowledge just based on the amusing posts they see. Overusing sarcasm or negative humor also has the opposite effect, as it will quickly make scientists lose the public’s trust and damage their credibility. Proper humor use requires a balance between vivid expression and professional precision. It should neither overshadow the core scientific information nor be so shallow that it loses seriousness. Overuse harms professionalism. 40 A．You need to use humour with great care in such communication. B．Scientists who master this balance can be more welcoming and popular. C．It also boosts audience engagement effectively. D．It helps break the impression of scientists being cold and distant. E．It also shines in the field of science,especially online. F．Humor in scientific communication is a double-edged sword, though. G．It’s a helper in making complex concepts understandable to ordinary people. 第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In 2013, Alvin Irby, a teacher, started Barbershop Books: He wanted to 41 boys who were bored waiting their turns in the barber shop to read for fun, on their own.

When he finished,the classroom fell completely silent.Moments later,thunderous applause echoed through the room.Our teacher's eyes sparkled with delight.“Jim,"she said warmly,"you have a rare gift.With such talent,you're bound to win the upcoming writing competition.” Her words hung in the air like a challenge.I bad always been the star of our class's literary circle, but now a new light had emerged—one that threatened to outshine mine.That evening,I poured my heart out to my father.After listening quietly,he sighed softly and said,"Jealousy is a thief that steals our joy.It's easy to see Jim as a rival,but perhaps he's just a fellow traveler on the same journey.
