B For Edward Kankaka, life didn’t have an easy start. Born in Uganda, he lost his father before turning four, having to be raised by his grandmother. On the other side of the world, Bruce and Margaret Anschau, an Australian couple, had made a promise. For every kid they had, they would sponsor (资助) one in need. Through a charity organization, they learned about little Edward, supporting him through many years. And now, over 30 years later, they finally got to meet in person. Kankaka, who is now 36 years old, grew up to be an HIV research scientist who studies at John Hopkins University. After learning he had to attend a medical meeting in Australia, he made a plan to visit the Anschaus in their hometown. “It’s like meeting a family you had never seen,” Kankaka said. The family, who had been sponsoring Kankaka since 1995, had held onto every single letter and picture sent by him. To make their meeting all the more memorable, they brought it all with them when they met at the airport, allowing Kankaka to look back on his youth and know how much the family cared about him throughout the years. While the usual sponsorship ends when the kid turns 18, they continued to support Kankaka through university. To make their children part of the process, the Anschaus allowed them to choose who they wanted to sponsor. It was their then 4-year-old son Tim, who picked Kankaka for his big smile. The family sent money every month to help child development centers, which provided Kankaka with education and training, regular (定期的) medical check-ups, meals, and snacks. Kankaka, now a recognized scientist in his field, is positive about the developments in HIV research. “There’s been great progress,” he said. “At some point during our lifetime hopefully a cure (疗法) will come.” And if it weren’t for the Anschaus, he may not have been part of the solution. “There’s nothing I could do that would be enough to say thank you,” Kankaka added. 4. What made the Anschaus decide to sponsor Edward Kankaka? A. Edward’s sad story of losing his father early. B. A charity organization’s heartfelt call for help. C. Their children’s request to help children in Uganda. D. Their plan to sponsor a child for each of their own kids. 5. Why did Edward Kankaka go to Australia? A. To visit the Anschaus’ hometown. B. To take part in a medical meeting. C. To do research on HIV at a local university. D. To express his thanks to the Anschaus in person. 6. Which of the following can best describe the Anschaus? A. Kind and selfless. B. Rich and powerful. C. Proud and successful. D. Humorous and wise. 7. What is the main idea of the text? A. An HIV researcher’s great achievements. B. The importance of charity organizations. C. An Australian family’s way to raise children. D. A touching story of sponsorship and thankfulness. C Despite the well-known benefits for children’s health, one in ten parents of preschoolers say that their children play outside just once a week or less. This is the finding of a survey of 710 parents of children aged 1 to 5, conducted in August by researchers from the University of Michigan Health C. S. Mott Children’s Hospital. The survey showed that outdoor and imaginative play remain common, but screen-based activities are quickly catching up as a daily fixture of children’s lives. Nearly one-third of parents surveyed reported that their children regularly take part in “media play”, such as video games, while three in five said their children watch videos every day. “Outdoor play is essential for young children’s learning and development,” said Sarah Clark, co-director of the survey. “Our report suggests that many families could support healthier development by encouraging a wider variety of play experiences. For example, parents could take their children to the park before shopping or use a short walk to play a game with jumping.” The survey also pointed out that digital activities have become a common part of children’s daily lives. Most parents of preschoolers admitted (承认) that they often hand a phone or tablet to their children in the car, at restaurants or in public places when they would like them to be occupied (忙碌). While phones and tablets are convenient, Clark suggested other options, such as setting up a “quiet kit” with fun books, or small toys that children can use when on the go. Additionally, the survey found that parental anxiety plays a role in limiting (限制) outdoor play. Four out of ten parents said they feel nervous when their children go too far or climb too high. While safety concerns are understandable, Clark stressed that a little independence helps children grow, encouraging curiosity and creativity. “Outdoor play doesn’t need to be perfect or educational to be beneficial,” she added. “Parents just need to make time and space for their children to play freely.” 8. What is the percentage of parents surveyed saying their children watch videos daily? A. 33%. B. 40%. C. 50%. D. 60%. 9. What does the underlined word “essential” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Harmful. B. Important. C. Challenging. D. Responsible. 10. What is probably Clark’s suggestion for parents? A. Let children lead their own play. B. Allow children to play in groups. C. Set up more screen time activities. D. Limit playtime for safety reasons. 11. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Parents’ Role in Children’s Screen Time B. The Influence of Digital Games on Students C. Preschoolers: More Outdoors, Less Screens D. Outdoor Games: A Growing Sense of Unease D In recent years, interest in space tourism has grown rapidly. Once a concept limited to science fiction, space travel for private individuals is now becoming a reality. Companies like SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Virgin Galactic are developing commercial spaceflight programs, promising a future where ordinary people can experience life beyond Earth. Wealthy adventurers, celebrities, and even a few researchers have already taken part in these early missions, drawing global attention. However, space tourism raises important questions. Critic argue that it remains an activity for the wealthy, as ticket prices are extremely high. A single trip can cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars, making space tourism accessible only to a select few. Others worry about the environmental impact. Rocket launches release large amounts of carbon dioxide and other pollutants into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. Some scientists fear that an increase in spaceflights could worsen these issues if not properly regulated. Supporters, on the other hand, believe that space tourism has benefits. It drives innovation in aerospace technology, leading to advancements that could make space travel more affordable in the future. Additionally, some believe that seeing Earth from space — often called the “overview effect” — gives travelers a deeper appreciation for the planet and inspires greater environmental responsibility. Documentaries and interviews with early space tourists suggest this emotional shift is genuine and long-lasting. Despite the excitement, space tourism remains in its early stages. While a few commercial flights have successfully taken private passengers to the edge of space, long-term sustainability is still uncertain. The cost must decrease significantly for space travel to become widely accessible. Scientists also emphasize the need for better safety measures, as spaceflight remains a high-risk activity. Some experts compare space tourism to the early days of aviation. A century ago, air travel was expensive and rare, but today, millions of people fly every day. Could the same happen with space travel? Many in the industry believe so, but it may take decades before space tourism becomes a regular part of human life. For now, space tourism remains a thrilling yet controversial topic. While the idea of ordinary people traveling to space is inspiring, questions about cost, safety, and environmental impact must be addressed before it can truly take off. 12. What is one major concern about space tourism? A. It harms the environment. B. It is illegal in many countries. C. It has replaced scientific space missions. D. It distract s public attention from climate issues. 13. Why do some supporters have a positive view of space tourism? A. It is a safe and affordable industry. B. It helps reduce global carbon emissions. C. It could encourage better treatment of Earth. D. It provides a solution to overcrowding on Earth. 14. What does the underlined phrase “overview effect” most likely refer to? A. A feeling of being lost in space. B. A dangerous effect of space travel. C. An ability to see beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. D. A change in perspective after viewing Earth from space. 15. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Why Space Tourism Will Fail. B. Is Space Travel worth the Cost? C. How Governments Control Space Travel. D. Space Tourism: The Next Step for Humanity? 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The “Chong Yang Festival” is celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, which is also known as the Double Ninth Festival. ___16___.

But by the second day, she was crying on the phone, telling her mom she wanted to come home. It could be because she was the baby of a family of six and the only girl, or her family was particularly close and loving. Unfortunately, her roommate, Zara, heard her crying. As soon as Jenny hung up the call, Zara started making fun of her. “Oh my! Does baby miss her mommy in Phoenix?” Jenny wiped her tears and asked whether she missed her parents and longed to go home. Zara replied coldly that she had put away such childish things and warned that she shouldn’t behave like a cry baby. Soon everyone in the dorm was calling Jenny “Cry Baby”. The idea of quitting college and running home constantly occurred to Jenny. But somehow, she made it through. One day, her dad called and asked her to come home for a long weekend. In the end, her father added that she could bring her roommate Zara home and he would soon send two return tickets. Jenny had never told her parents that Zara was far from friendly or supportive. She’d been too ashamed and eager to hide her complete misery(痛苦) from her family. That evening, Jenny told Zara about her family’s invitation. Zara stared at Jenny, her mouth open. “A ticket for me? Why?” she asked. “I told them you were nice to me…So they wanted to be nice to you...” Jenny explained awkwardly. After a while, Zara said, “I’m coming!” 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。 Two weeks later, Jenny and Zara landed in Phoenix. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Feeling the family’s warmth, Zara began to sob. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2025—2026学年下期期中考试 高一年级英语(学科) 满分150分 考试时间120分钟 第一部分：听力 (共两节，满分30分) 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。每段对话读两遍。 例: How much is the shirt?
