When Ghanain photojournalist Paul Ninson initially pursued a career in photography, he found the challenge discouraging. Photography isn’t exactly valued as a career in Ghana, Ninson says, “If you tell your parents you’re going to be a photographer, it was like, ‘Yuck, what? Go be a lawyer.’” But Ninson felt photography was his calling. Deeply influenced by the family history of storytelling passed down through his grandparents and later attracted by a friend’s images, he developed a love for photography. He sold his mobile phone, bought a camera and began studying photography. Though Ninson began his journey with commercial photography, he soon shifted his focus to stories closer to his heart — those of African history and culture that he would capture as a photojournalist. Ninson still sought formal education in photojournalism. Unable to find a suitable program in Africa, he left Ghana in 2019 to study in New York City. There, he read the center’s hundreds of photobooks. In Ghana, he only had access to five or six of such books. As he ventured deeper into the city, he discovered more visual histories of Africa than he had experienced at home, such as documentation of Ghana’s first president at the New York Public Library. The libraries Ninson visited were unwilling to give him their archives (档案) to return to Africa, which led to his idea of creating a leading photobook library in Africa that held such stories. This idea has been realized with the creation of the Dikan Center in Accra, Ghana’s capital. In Ghanaian artist Daniella Afful’s eyes, Dikan Center is a spark for the growth of Ghana’s creative community, “Dikan Center has magnified (放大) art and photography. Dikan Center has kind of given us the hope that we may soon have a music library and we could have a film library in Ghana — anything just to preserve our history and make history.” 4. How did Ninson's grandparents affect his career choice? A. They bought a camera for Ninson. B. They asked him to consult his friend. C. They carried on the storytelling tradition. D. They showed many photos of his family. 5. Why did Ninson go to America? A. He desired for chances to better himself. B. He hunted for more approaches to culture. C. He planned to sell hundreds of photobooks. D. He wanted to return to commercial photography. 6. Which of the following can best describe Ninson? A. Optimistic and humorous. B. Generous and caring. C. Innovative and hard-working. D. Brave and outgoing. 7. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. Publicize Dikan Center. B. Highlight the significance of Dikan Center. C. Introduce the development prospects of Dikan Center. D. Call on people to build more libraries in Dikan Center. Acid rain, defined as rain, snow, fog or other forms of water that contain high levels of certain strong acids, was first identified by Scottish chemist Robert August Smith in 1852. This type of precipitation typically has a pH between 4.2 and 4.4, while normal rain is slightly acidic with a pH of 5.6. Though natural sources like rotting plants and erupting volcanoes release some acid-forming chemicals, human activities are the main driver of acid rain. Specifically, coal-burning power plants, factories, and cars burn fossil fuels, which send out harmful gases like sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). These gases then react with water, oxygen, and other substances in the air to form acids, and winds can carry these acidic compounds hundreds of miles across the surface. Ecologically, acid rain first makes rivers, lakes, and wetlands more acidic, which in turn causes the soil to release aluminum. This aluminum then flows into water bodies and poisons fish and other water-living creatures, with the harm further spreading through food chains to affect even non-water living animals like birds. Forests also suffer great damage: acid rain not only takes away necessary nutrients such as calcium from the soil and releases aluminum, but also burns tree leaves. As a result, plants become weak in resisting cold, insects, and diseases. Besides ecological damage, acid rain also wears down stone buildings and vehicles; when it turns into breathable fog, it can cause certain health problems. To solve these problems, we need to cut down on fossil fuels used and follow air-quality rules. The United Nations has been promoting global cooperation to reduce harmful gas emissions, and such efforts have helped some ecosystems recover from acid rain damage. However, recovery is slow, and difficulties in unifying global standards make progress harder. As long as fossil fuels continue to be used, acid rain will not disappear — this remains a global challenge that requires ongoing joint efforts. 8. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By telling a story. B. By defining a term. C. By quoting a study. D. By giving examples. 9. Why does acid rain harm water-living creatures? A. It increases water pH level. B. It reduces water oxygen content. C. It poisons them with soil aluminum. D. It changes the temperature of water. 10. What can we infer from the text? A. Ecosystems recover rapidly now. B. Acid rain may affect human health. C. Natural sources cause most acid rain. D. Fossil fuels will stop being used soon. 11. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To describe acid rain’s influence. B. To explain acid rain and call for action. C. To track acid rain’s global spread. D. To compare acid rain control ways. Everyone has “down days”. Maybe it’s because of the bad weather, or the disappointing grades on a difficult test, and some days teenagers just act uninterested in life or school. But these symptoms(症状) often pass quickly, as teens move on to new school subjects, or meet with friends to prevent themselves from thinking what troubles them at the moment. But if a teenager displays symptoms of sadness for more than two lasting weeks, it might point to something serious. As teenagers develop, they push new boundaries(边界), complain about rules and look for more free rights from their parents. According to the online Health Guide on Adolescent Development, parents must be lasting figures in their teenagers’ life, providing safe boundaries for teens to grow, even if the teenagers act like these boundaries are unwanted. Parents need to provide rules, while also remaining flexible(灵活的) and respectful of the growing teens’ need for freedom. For example, teenagers will often feel frustrated, embarrassed, and even angry that thought they want freedom, they still need to ask their parents for an agreement to go to a friend’s house, or need their mothers to take them to school. The US Department of Education says that parents should respect and support their teen’s choices as long as those choices won’t have long-term harmful effects. For example, even if a parent doesn’t enjoy the music his or her teen listens to, it’s unlikely that the choice of music will prevent that teen from entering a good college, or lead to health problems. However, if that teen is drinking alcohol and driving, parents must get through strict punishments to teach that there are bad results for poor choices that come with increased freedom. 12. Why do teen’s feelings of bad days usually disappear quickly? A. Their teachers help them. B. They take some medicine. C. Their parents talk with them. D. They change their attention. 13. What does the example in paragraph 3 show? A. Freedom must be given at anytime. B. Teens are mad at being controlled. C. Teens need both freedom and proper rules. D. Rules must be absolutely strict for teens. 14. What should parents do about their teens’ choices? A. Support their helpful hobbies. B. Tell them which college to attend. C. Cancel their after-school activities. D. Get them away from singing pop songs. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. How to Be With Growing Teens B. Causes of Teens’ Sadness C. Teens’ Worries About Strict Rules D. The Importance of Making Friends With Teens 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。 How to Choose Your Purpose-Filled Career When you think about choosing a career, you often do it in the following two ways. Think about what you like to do. If you like writing or doing crafts, you might consider these things. This is not a bad way to go, of course, but you can’t always make money doing things you like (like video games or drinking beer). ____16____ Think about a well-paid job that you can do and doesn’t sound so bad. ____17____ Or maybe that’s out of your educational reach, so you choose office or retail worker. These are all great choices. But often they are not something you’re really passionate about. It’s kind of like just doing something because it’s there——not very inspired. ____18____ Try to do something to serve a community or make the world better. For example, taking care of children, because you really want to help children get a great start in life, or blossom into who they want to be or getting into government or social work to improve the conditions of the community you live in or becoming a scientist to help ease the environmental crisis or find a cure for a terrible disease. ____19____ And if you choose one of them for that purpose, you will serve in that work feeling a sense of purpose each day. ____20____ The point isn’t how you serve the world, but just serving the world in some way will help you feel filled with purpose. If you choose a purposeful and enjoyable job, you’re always further along than most people. A. There are endless ways to do that. B. Maybe a doctor, engineer or lawyer? C. However, there’s another way that is perhaps better. D. You are dreaming of a well-paid job which you like best. E. It’s essential not to concentrate on interests and good payment. F. Each of these is just one of many possibilities filled with purpose. G. And sometimes things you like are better as a hobby or side passion. 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。 I lived in a small town near the provincial capital, separated by a challenging mountain pass.

Dance was my favorite class, and I looked forward to going every day. And this year, my senior year, was going to be the best dance class yet. Moreover, there was a showcase performed at our high-school theater at the end of the semester. As I headed to the studio, my friend Jessica ran up to me, her face serious. “Sarah, have you heard?” she whispered. “We have a new teacher, Ms. Barton. And she’s… strictly ballet.” My excitement disappeared. Ballet? I’d never taken a class in my life. A strong feeling of anxiety formed in my stomach, but a part of me accepted the challenge. The studio I entered was transformed. Gone was the lively energy; in its place was a nervous silence. Every other girl wore tight black clothes and ballet shoes. Looking down at my baggy T-shirt and sports trousers, I felt like a complete outsider. I quickly changed, but still felt awkward and out of place. Ms. Barton stood as straight as an arrow, her serious expression making the room feel cold. At the barre, she began calling out French terms — plié, tendu. I tried to copy the others, my movements feeling awkward and wrong. “Grand plié,” she ordered. I bent my knees, doing my best to copy the elegant position of the others. I thought I was doing okay, until the music suddenly stopped. Ms. Barton’s sharp eyes were fixed on me. “What is your name?” she asked, her voice cutting through the silence. “Sarah,” I replied, trying to manage a smile. “Class, I want everyone to watch Miss Sarah,” she announced. My heart jumped. Was she going to praise me? I took a deep breath and performed the grand plié again. Complete silence. Every eye was on me. “Now, class,” Ms. Barton’s voice rose, sharp and loud. “This is a perfect example of what NOT to do.” My face burned as if I’d been slammed (猛烈撞击). 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。 Paragraph 1: I spent the rest of the day wondering if I should quit. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Finally, there came the showcase at our high-school theater. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2025-2026学年下期期中考试 高二年级英语 满分150分 考试时间120分钟 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 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。每段对话读两遍。 1.

With industrial waste, plastic garbage and oil spills pouring into the ocean, marine creatures are dying out, and the marine ecosystem is severely damaged. Protecting the ocean is crucial for human beings’ sustainable development. The ocean provides us with abundant resources and regulates the global climate. Without a healthy ocean, our survival and development will be greatly threatened. In my opinion, everyone should take responsibility. We can reduce plastic use and refuse to throw rubbish into the ocean. Only by working together can we protect the ocean and ensure a sustainable future for all. 第二节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】参考范文 Paragraph 1 I spent the rest of the day wondering if I should quit. However, my love for dance wouldn’t allow it. I would show that teacher. The empty studio became my second home. I practised day by day, week by week, and I was proud to say that I was still standing by the end of the semester. Ms. Barton seemed to tolerate my ballet and began to appreciate my hip-hop style. Soon came her surprising request: to design two hip-hop dances for the final performance. Paragraph 2 Finally, there came the showcase at our high-school theater. My hands were shaking with nerves, but when the music began, my fear simply disappeared. I had the best time dancing to it and gave it my all, leaving our audience cheering and clapping. Afterwards, Ms. Barton announced the “Most Improved Dancer” award. I couldn’t believe my ears when she called my name! As my friends cheered, I walked up to receive the award. With tears in my eyes, I smiled at Ms. Barton and said, “Thank you for challenging me.” I realized that this ballet journey had taught me the courage to embrace challenges. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
