B Nia's family moved often,finding shelter in rooms with relatives.Tensions rose with every move and shouting matches were constant.When everything came to a boil, Nia found it best to keep silent.She became more and more withdrawn as she got older, losing confidence in herself and her voice. When she was a young adult,Nia had developed a fear of speaking.So when a friend told her about YouthCare's Tile Project,she was terified.But Nia wanted to iake steps to find a job and support herself.She finally took a deep breath and decided to give it a shot. 4(共12页) Nia signed up for a ceramic (class.The passion she gained for learning a new craft was clear-but when it came to group activities in the classroom,Nia struggled.She told staff that she didn't like being around people she didn't know.So when the class was given the opportunity to sell their artwork at a local fair.Nia hesitated.With the support from YouthCare Career Ceerdinator,Kate,she cautiously agreed.

This is at the base of how hundreds of ecosystems work and has been since the dawn of time.However,a growing body of research is starting to suggest that mammals and birds are far from the only ones shaping how seeds travel and spread plant life to new parts of the world.Tiny insects and invertebrates(无脊椎s动物)play a crucial role,. too. Ants are perhaps the most well-known seed-spreading insects.They spread seeds from particular plants.The ants cany the seed to their nest,eat and throw away the seed, either by carrying it to the surface or placing it into rubbish piles deep underground, according to Prof Ellen Simms,a biologist at the University of California. Other insects are thought to help spread seeds by excreting them,like mammals and birds.For example,centimetre-long woodlice eat the small fruits of an Asian plant. Then,they excrete over 30 percent of the dust-like seeds still whole enough to take root in the soil and grow,according to research published in the journal People,Plants, Planet earlier this year.These tiny invertebrates set a new record for the smallest and lightest animals to participate in seed spread after intake. Similarly,Japanese camel crickets (eat and excrete the seeds of a leafy Asian shrub,according to a new study published last month.The plant,found along moist,shaded forests,has small and rounded fruits containing thousands of tiny seeds. Once the fiuits fall to the ground,the crickets chew forcefully and then excrete pellets with more than 78 percent of the seeds whole and ready to grow. This is the first evidence of insects acting as seed-spreaders for a light-harvesting, green plants in regions where land-dwelling mammals are also present to do the job. This challenges the long-held idea that the spread of seeds by insects is a special case- their role may be much more widespread and ecologically important than previously understood. 6(共12页) 28.The author mentions ants and other insects to A.introduce several tiny insects and invertebrates B.contrast with other animals in spreading seeds C.explain how they help spread seeds D.highlight the ecological importance of these specific insects 29.What illustrative method does the author use in this passage? A.Examples and research findings. B.Direct statement without evidence. C.Personal opinions and experiences. D.Comparative analysis of different theories. 30.What can we infer from the passage? A.There should be less research into seed spread by insects. B.Insects play a less important role than mammals and birds. C.Insects are more widespread in seed-spread than we realize. D.Land-dwelling mammals are more effective than insects at spreading seeds. D In an era when artificial intelligence can generate images in seconds,why would anyone spend months learning to embroider()by hand?These questions challenge young people considering careers in traditional crafts.Yet paradoxically,as technology advances,handmade creations may become more valuable,not less. Consider Zhang,a 21-year-old digital media major who recently won a prize for designing cultural products inspired by the Palace Museum.She used AI as an exploratory tool during her creative process.The software helped her generate stylistic variations quickly.But she didn't stop there.She then spent weeks refining designs manually,ensuring cultural accuracy and emotional depth that algorithms()alone could not achieve."When I studied elements of the Palace Museum,I deepened my understanding of why they existed and how to express their meaning through modern design,"Zhang explains.The AI provided possibilities;human judgment selected among them. This collaboration between human and machine represents a growing agreement among experts:technology should not replace creativity but expand its possibilities. 7(共12页) Gao Yang,a competition judge,notes,"AI can quickly generate stylistic variations,but designers must focus on emotional tone and cultural logic."The key lies in applying humanistic thinking to guide digital tools. Crafts carry something machines cannot copy:human story.When Padruk Tendhar, a 25-year-old Tibetan designer,restores classical costumes,he is not just reproducing patterns.He is recovering meaning-the dignity conveyed by a wider waistline,the elegance surrounding the face in traditional silhouettes ()His designs emerge from years of studying art archaeology and understanding why ancestors created things the way they did. Some worry that as younger generations embrace tradition,authenticity might be lost.When traditional patterns appcar on thermal cups,are they being respected or commercialized?Yet defenders of innovation argue that traditions have always evolved. The embroideries admired in museums today were once contemporary designs.What matters is not preserving forms unchanged but maintaining connections-between past and present,between maker and material. This perspective explains why young people tum to traditional crafts even as technology advances.In university clubs across China,students gather to learn papercutting,woodcarving,and folk music.Their motivation isn't practical-few will become professional artisans.Instead,they seek something technology cannot provide: tangible connection to human continuity.As one participant put it after learning from a master woodcarver,"When I hold the tool he held for sixty years,I feel time differently. The wood speaks of paticnce,of hands that came before." In an age of instant everything,that may be tradition's most precious gift. 31.What role did AI play in Zhang's creative process? A.It removed Zhang's need to study the Palace Museum's cultural elements. B.It autonomously produced the designs that won the competition. C.It was used primarily to test consumer preferences before production. D.It served as a tool to explore stylistic possibilities. 32.Why does the author mention Padruk Tendhar's work? A.To show that young Tibetans prefer modem fashion over tradition. B.To prove that Tibetan designs have become popular only recently. 8(共12页) C.To explain that traditional crafts carry cultural meaning beyond patterns. D.To suggest that restoring classical costumes requires hard work and knowledge. 33.The underlined word"tangible"most probably means something that A.exists in digital form B.can be touched or felt physically C.can be understood by the mind D.continues through generations 34.What is the author's main argument in the passage? A.AI's assistance in design is the key to preserving traditional crafts B.Young people are embracing crafts with the help of digital tools. C.Human cultural understanding remains essential in design in the era of Al. D.AI is superior to humans in generating creative designs for cultural products. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 You may want to start paying attention to supermarket shelves because they are changing rapidly.Soon,when you walk by a shelf filled with produce,it may have electronic labels,personalized advertisements,RFID (radio frequency identification reader)technology and IOT (internet of things)sensors.Smart shelves with digital displays are coming to more supermarkets as paper labels are replaced with advanced technology. Electronic labels will replace all the paper labels which announce the prices.35 Electronic labels display prices,advertisements,nutritional data, coupons and videos.Imagine standing in front of a milk display and instantly comparing nutritional information among different brands while getting a flashing coupon that you scan with your phone. _36For example,sensors installed in the shelves can tell when you approach them,so they can show you a deal on the same bread you purchased last week. Additionally,if you use a store's app to create a shopping list,the smart shelves can interact with the list and show you where to find the items you want. RFID usually has a tag that can transmit and receive data.37 In supermarkets, RFID technology can help retailers manage.RFID tags can alert store assistants when the shelves are empty and need restocking or when someone has put the wrong items on 9(共12页) a shelf. IOT sensors have many potential uses in a supermarket.38The sensors can chcck temperatures in freezers and cases to make sure they are correct.They can also collect data from smart.shelves.The technology can help supermarkets understand which products appeal to consumers and can affect how stores arrange iterns on display. 39 From digital displays that show instant price changes to advertisements iinked to your shopping lis,you can expect the technology to become more personalized.

It has also been established that reading fiction is a good way of developing a good self-image Non-readers or poor readers often have low opinions of themselves. Besides,they may perform poorly in other subjects because they cannot read and understand the material. Most importantly,however,reading fiction helps us to develop our brains.The 10(共12页) human brain can work well when we just do regular things,like driving or walking. However,leaming expert Dr.Brian E.Walsh suggested that it can perform more effectively when an element of surprise is added,because this helps to build connections in the brain.In this respect,the positive effects of reading may be much stronger than previously thought. Recent research has shown that the brain reacts more strongly to unpredictable than to predictable things.This may explain why people enjoy reading fiction,which generally contains lots of unpredictable things.Reading fiction enables us to experience fresh scenarios()and identify with the people we are reading about. When we mentally create the scenes,the look of the characters,the smells,and the sounds in the book,we are exercising our brain.The brain is challenged.This is a positive thing because it will continue to grow and develop if properly stimulated.The more it is used,the better it becomes. 40.How does reading help us improve vocabulary? 41.What are the problems for people who seldom read-aeeerding to the-passage? 42.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why. Reading fiction has more positive effects on our brain since fiction shows more predietable things-in our daily life. 43.Apart from what are mentioned in the passage,what other benefit(s)have you gained from reading fiction? 11(共12页) 第二节：应用文写作（共20分） 假设你是红星中学高二学生李华，你的英国笔友Jim在你的朋友圈看到你分 享的关于“我为校庆献一计”的主题班会的照片，对此很感兴趣并来信咨询。请你 给他回信，内容包括： 1班会的相关信息 2.你的感受。 注意：1.词数100词左右； 2开头和结尾已经给出不计入总次数。 提示词：校庆School Anniversary Dear Jim, Yours, Li Hua 清将答案全部填涂在答题卡上I1! 12(共12页) 顺义一中20252026学年第二学期高二年级期中考试 英语试卷答案 第一节：完型填空（共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分） 1-5:BCBDA 6-10:AABCD 第二节：语法填空：（共10小题：每小题1.5分，共15分） 11.found 12.who 13.more confident 14.to call 15.is wasted 16.Reducing 17.what 18.But 19.wherc 20.in 第三节：阅读理解（共14个小题：每小题2分，共28分) 【答米】21.B22.C23.A24.D 【谷紧】25.A 26.D27.C 【咨案】28.C29.A30.C 【答米】31.D32.C33.B34.C 第四节：七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） 【答案】F、C.、E、A、B 第五节：阅读与表达（共4小题，第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12 分) 40.By understanding these words through context and making us more confident with complex words. 41.The problems for people who scldom read are having low opinions of themselves and influencing their performance in other subjects. 42.Reading fiction has more positive effects on our brain since fiction shows more predictable things in our daily life.Reading fiction has more positive cffects on our brain since fiction shows more unpredictable things in our daily life. 43.Apart from thosc advantages,reading fiction broadens my horizons greatly.It lets me know different cultures and various life experiences far away.Besides,it calms my mood and relieves my study pressure effectively,helping me become more patent and thoughtful in daily life. 第六节：应用文写作（共20分) Dear Jim, How is everything going?Delighted to know you're curious about the photos I posted of our class meeting,so I'm writing to give you a detailed introduction to our class meeting.
