As a result I often felt left out when their friends came over to play. I was either too small or too young for whatever they were doing and they didn’t want me to listen to their conventions, either. More often than not I found myself outside playing alone and feeling forgotten. I remember one spring afternoon feeling especially lonely as I sat in the yard behind our house. We lived miles from town and I rarely saw my own friends outside of school. I heard my brothers laughing from inside the house and felt tears coming down my cheek. At that moment I saw a large brown dog walking over to me. He looked happy and his tail was wagging as well. Even though he didn’t know me, he greeted me like a long-lost friend, licking my feet and sitting beside me on the spring grass. It must have been for at least an hour that I petted and talked to this four-legged angel. He let me pour out all my troubles and share my deepest thoughts before he kissed my cheek goodbye. I went back inside feeling happy, knowing that no matter what life may hold, I was loved. Now over 40 years later I still remember that angel with a smile. I believe that God sent him in that moment of sadness to remind me just how much he loved me. In truth, nothing brings us greater joy than knowing we are loved. Knowing we are loved gives us the strength to love others as well. Knowing we are loved aids us in making Earth more like Heaven. Embrace that love, take joy in it, and then go out and share your own love with the world. 24. When the author’s brother’s friends came to their house, the author ______. A. was permitted to listen to their talk B. couldn’t play with them C. was unwilling to communicate with them D. was happy to take part in their activities 25. What can we conclude from the second paragraph? A. The large brown dog frightened the author. B. The author preferred to be in a quiet place. C. The author often invited friends to his house. D. The dog greeted him like a long-lost friend. 26. When the author returned to his home, ______. A. he led this four-legged angel home B. he felt much happier than before C. he shared his thoughts with his brothers D. he was unwilling to play with his brothers 27. What does the text mainly want to express? A. We must know we are loved. B. We should take care of dogs. C. We need to give our love to others. D. We can play with our brothers happily. C Sunshine does make people happier. Imagine how cheerful you are when it clears up after long cold rainy days. Let’s discover science behind sunlight. Sunlight causes you to produce a chemical （化学物质） called serotonin （血清素）. When you are exposed to sunlight, your body will make more serotonin. Higher levels of serotonin will keep you in good spirits. At night, when there is little or no light, your body produces another chemical-melatonin （褪黑激素）. It helps your body relax and will make you feel tired, which can prepare you for a good night’s sleep. You should keep a good balance between these two chemicals. However, for many people, it is hard to balance sunlight with darkness. People who stay indoors a lot may not get enough sunlight. The light in a house is usually about 100 times less than that outside on a sunny day. That’s why it is believed that those people should get outside in the sunshine. They can get some exercise, enjoy the fresh air and be happy, all at the same time. There are places where it gets dark for a long time in the winter. People in those places are easier to get seasonal affective disorder （SAD）. People with SAD usually go through bad experiences such as low energy and sadness. The most common treatment for those people is to sit under bright artificial （人工的） lights for some time. The roles that sunshine plays in people’s life are more than those above. For example, your body produces vitamin D （维生素D） from sunlight, which is important for being healthy. In fact, there is more science about sunlight for you to discover. So next time, when you notice the sunshine on your shoulder, take a moment to think, “Why do we love sunshine?” 28. Which of the following can take the place of “are exposed to” in the text? A. stay in B. care about C. dream of D. depend on 29. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. What can help people to keep in good spirits. B. How light influences people through chemicals. C. Why melatonin can help people relax for a sleep. D. Which chemical is thought to be more important. 30. Which of the following is an opinion（观点）according to the text? A. There are places where it gets dark for a long time in the winter. B. People who stay indoors a lot should get outside in the sunshine. C. The light in a house is usually less than that outside on a sunny day. D. People’s bodies produce something called vitamin D from sunlight. 31. Why is the sentence “Why do we love sunshine?” written in the last paragraph? A. To encourage readers to learn more about sunlight. B. To advise readers to stay in houses for enough time. C. To expect readers to realize the importance of vitamin D. To invite readers to walk into nature to enjoy the fresh air. D Some parents will buy any high-tech toy if they think it will help their child, but researchers said puzzles help children with math-related skills. Psychologist Susan Levine, an expert on mathematics development in young children at the University of Chicago, found children who play with puzzles between ages 2 and 4 later develop better spatial skills. Puzzle play was found to be a significant predictor of cognition（认知）after controlling for differences in parents’ income, education and the amount of parent talk, Levine said. The researchers analyzed video recordings of 53 child-parent pairs during everyday activities at home and found children who play with puzzles between 26 and 46 months of age have better spatial skills when assessed at 54 months of age. “The children who played with puzzles performed better than those who did not, on tasks that assessed their ability to rotate（旋转）and translate shapes,” Levine said in a statement. The parents were asked to interact with their children as they normally would, and about half of the children in the study played with puzzles at one time. Higher-income parents tended to have children play with puzzles more frequently, and both boys and girls who played with puzzles had better spatial skills. However, boys tended to play with more complex puzzles than girls, and the parents of boys provided more spatial language and were more active during puzzle play than the parents of girls. The findings were published in the journal Developmental Science. 32. In which aspect do children benefit from puzzle play? A. Building confidence. B. Developing spatial skills. C. Learning self-control. D. Gaining high-tech knowledge. 33. What did Levine take into consideration when designing her experiment? A. Parents’ age. B. Children’s imagination. C. Parents’ education. D. Child-parent relationship. 34. How do boys differ from girls in puzzle play? A. They play with puzzles more often. B. They tend to talk less during the game. C. They prefer to use more spatial language. D. They are likely to play with tougher puzzles. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. A mathematical method. B. A scientific study. C. A woman psychologist. D. A teaching program. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 While the road to success may differ for each individual, there are certain suggestions that can guide you along the way. 36 The first step towards success is to establish clear and specific goals.

We found helplessness in the teacher’s eyes. Though she tried to raise our sense of honor and the courage to challenge ourselves, all of us chose to be silent. Just as the teacher was about to give up the event, a familiar voice came: “Tim and I sign up for the long race!” I seemed to hear my heartbeat racing. Me? Long run? How is this possible? I had never been in a running race. I looked up sharply and fixed my eyes on my best friend Todd, who was smiling at me. “I... I have never been...” I murmured. Before I could finish, he came over, patted me gently on the shoulder, and said: “Don’t be afraid. I’ll help you.” Then the classroom suddenly burst into cheers. At that moment, the fear in my heart was quickly replaced by a strong sense of responsibility. In the days that followed, Todd became my “coach”. He carefully made a training plan and spent all our spare time on the playground. We practised a lot, sweated together and ran faster and faster. Every time I wanted to give up, Todd would encourage me with a smile, “If you are tired, just look at me!” His warm smile and encouraging words always made me regain confidence. Several weeks later, the big day came. 注意：（1）续写词数应为120-150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I stood on the starting line with Todd together. __________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the race, Todd and I together went onto the winners’ stage. ___________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 渑池二高2025-2026学年下学期期中考试高二英语试题参考答案 第一部分 听力 1.C 2.

We set off at 8:00 a.m. and walked for two hours to reach the museum. Upon arrival, we admired the ancient pottery and learned about the Neolithic Yangshao culture from the guide. The hiking was tiring but exciting. This activity not only deepened our love for Chinese history but also taught us the value of perseverance. Everyone found it a rewarding and meaningful experience. 第二节（One possible version） I stood on the starting line with Todd together. My heart raced as I looked at the long track. Todd smiled and said, “Just follow me.” The gun sounded. Todd set a steady pace, and I stayed close behind him. When my legs ached and I wanted to quit, I remembered his words: “If you get tired, just look at me.” Watching his back gave me strength. Together we passed one runner after another. Finally, we crossed the finish line side by side. After the race, Todd and I together went onto the winners’ stage. Holding our medals, we hugged each other tightly. The whole class cheered for us. I realized that I had not only finished the race but also overcome my fear. Todd’s friendship and encouragement had pushed me beyond my limits. At that moment, I understood that true success is not just winning, but having someone who believes in you. 听力稿（Tapescript） 第一节 Text 1 W: Are you going straight to the cinema?

First, let’s look back at what happened on Thursday. A strong storm moved through the region, and the power went out in many areas. Crews are still working to restore electricity to all customers. As for today, temperatures will remain cold, with highs only reaching the low 40s. Later this morning, light showers are expected, so don’t forget your umbrella if you’re heading out. Looking ahead to tomorrow, the afternoon should be mostly dry, but another system is moving in by evening. Next week, we expect even colder temperatures to arrive from the north. Mount Shasta should be getting snow soon — possibly several inches by the middle of next week. However, southern areas should remain dry with no significant rainfall expected. That’s all for today’s weather. Stay warm and have a great day! 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
