"Wormy!Wormy!Come here!"I'm 7 years old,arms wrapped around my legs,while a
group of older kids teased me on the playground with the nickname that would haunt my
entire chiidhood.
The nickname came from my surname,Worman.Although it is pronounced "War-mon,"
my classmates preferred the literal version,"Worm-man."The teasing intensified after I
rescued an earthworm (from being roughly cut in half by a boy.The kids must have
felt clever connecting my name to the creature,but for me,it was embarrassing.From then
on,I really hated my rare surname and the bullying that accompanied it.
According to historical records,Worman actually originates from an old English term
for a skilled craftsman.Some sources even link its origins to the kings of Mercia.While
there don't seem to be any famous Wormans in recent history,we're a hardworking group,
holding down jobs as butchers,painters and laborers in England since the early 1800s.
I suffered through being a Worman as a child,so when Facebook came along in my
teens,I saw it as a chance to reinvent myself.I went by Evelyn Rose-my pretty,delicate
middle name that drew praise and compliments from those around me.I felt more confident
than ever.
After university,however,I became less critical of my surname.Meeting students from
diverse backgrounds introduced me to surnames far more unusual than mine.Laughing with
others about our unique names became a surprising source of connection rather than shame.
Later,I learned that over 200,000 surnames have disappeared from England and Wales in
the past century.While others vanished,mine survived.Worman might not be "pretty,"but
it is memorable and resilient.
Now in my early 30s,I have become fiercely protective of my identity.When my son
was born last summer,my husband and I decided on a combined surname to honor both
sides of his heritage."Worman"has survived centuries of history and my own childhood
embarrassment;hopefully,it will now stand the test of another generation.
24.What is the reason for the author's childhood shame about her name?
高二英语试题第4页(共12页)
A.It revealed her family roots.
B It exposed her to peer teasing.
C.It implied a humble social status
D.It lacked her middle name's elegance.
25.Why did the author choose to use"Evelyn Rose"on Facebook?
A.To hide her identity from strangers.2
B.To create a more desirable self-image.
C.To honor her family's royal ancestors.
D.To follow the trend of using middle names.
26.How does the author feel about her surname now?
A.She views it with pride.
D.She accepis it passively.
C.She is confused about its origin.D.She fears its impact on her son.
27.What message does the story mainly convey?
A.Childhood bullying shapes lifelong insecurities.
B.Surnames reflect social status across generations.
C.Changing one's name is key to building confidence.
D.True confidence comes from embracing one's identity.

China's population is undergoing a significant structural change:it is shrinking and
ageing.The total fertility rate-the average number of births per woman-has dropped to
1.1,well below the 2.1 required for population stability.After a brief rise in births in 2024,
the lucky Year of the Dragon,the birth rate is likely to fall again.At the same time,the
number of people over 60 is projected to increase from 300 million in 2023 to over 400
million by 2035,rising from one-fifth to nearly one.third of the population.This poses risks
to China's economy,as fewer young workers will support more retirees.Yet,government
planners think they have found a silver lining:the"silver economy".
In 2024,China's State Council released a policy document to boost the silver economy
and enhance elderly well-being.It urged businesses to invest in smart healthcare,anti-
ageing products,and senior tourism.Local governments were also encouraged to improve
services like meal deliveries and in-home care.These policies aim to tap into the growing
demands of retirees,particularly the richest generation aged 50-60,who benefited from
China's economic boom.
Companies are adapting creatively.For example,Quantasing,an education firm,shifted
focus to online courses for seniors,offering classes in calligraphy,meditation,and music.Its
platform has attracted 120 million users,highlighting the potential of elderly-oriented
高二英语试题第5页(共12页)
serviccs."Rctirces today have savings and time to enjoy life,"notes Tim Xie of Quantasing
Yet challenges remain.Experts warn that many businesses rush into the silver economy
without thorough research.Chen Gong of Peking University criticizes that"Many policies
are shouting a lot but doing little,"stressing the need for stronger consumer protections
against scams.Cai Fang,a demographer,emphasizes improving welfare systems to match
rising elderly needs.
While the silver economy offers economic hope,balancing commercial growth with
genuine care for seniors will define its success.As China ages,ensuring dignity and security
for its elderly remains a pressing task.
28.How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph?
A By quotation an expert.
B.By defining a concept.
C.By giving examples.
D.By providing figures.
29.What does the underlined phrase"tap into"in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Give priority to
B.Take advantage of.
C.Make room for.
D.Keep control over.
30.What does the example of Quantasing illustrate?
A.The decline of traditional education models.
B.Government-led investment in technology firms.
C.Successful adaptation to elderly consumers'needs.
D The popularity of online education among the youth.
31.What is the key to the success of the silver economy?
A.Expanding the market for senior citizens.
B.Relying completely on government support.
C.Replacing human services with smart technology.
D.Combining business with real concern for the elderly.

Climate change is reshaping our world in unexpected ways,from rising temperatures to
disrupted ecosystems.Now,scientists warn that melting polar ice caps are even affecting
how we keep track of time.
A recent study in Nature reveals that the rapid melting of polar ice is slowing Earth's
rotation ()As meltwater flows into oceans,it collects around the equator,the
imaginary circle dividing the earth into two equal parts.The planet gets slightly "fatter"
there,which makes Earth turn slowly,much like an ice skater slowing down by stretching
高二英语试题第6页(共12页)
out her arms during a spin.
A slower rotation means each day-the time for one full turn of Earth-gets a bit
longer.As a result,the sun doesn't rise or set exactly when we expect,which poses a critical
challenge to global timekeeping systems.
Modern life relies on ultra-precise synchronization (across technologies.
Financial markets,air traffic control,internet servers,and communication networks depend
on perfectly aligned clocks.Even a tiny timing error could trigger chaos.To address this,
scientists propose introducing a negative leap second by 2029.This would make clocks
jump from 23:59:58 straight to midnight,skipping 23:59:59,so our devices can match
Earth's actual rotation.Geophysicist Duncan Agnew from the Scripps Institution of
Oceanography explained this in the Nature paper.
However,this solution comes with risks.Unlike positive leap seconds (adding a
second),which have been used since 1972,negative leap seconds have never been tested.
Experts like physicist Judah Levine warn that software designed to handle time adjustments
may fail.Past issues highlight the danger:In 2012,adding a leap second crashed airline
booking systems,froze stock exchanges,and disrupted major websites like Reddit and
LinkedIn.
These events show how fragile our time-dependent world is,and climate change is
making it even more challenging.
32.Which factor is responsible for Earth's slower rotation?
A.Ice mass gathering at the equator.
B.Meltwater moving to the equator.
C.Atmosphere thickening at the equator.D.Ocean currents intensifying near the equator.
33.What can be learned about the proposed "negative leap second"?
A.It may cause system failures.
B.It is a widely accepted time solution.
C.It caused a major system crash in 2012
D.It has been successfully tested since 1972
34.What is the author's attitude toward the effects of climate change on timekeeping?
A Concerned.
B.Reserved.
C.Optimistic.
D.Doubtful.
35.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.The History of Leap Seconds
B.Risks in Adjusting Global Clocks
C.Climate's Surprising Test on Time D.Innovations in Timekeeping Technologies

You may have heard the word "composting,"but what does it mean?Composting is
similar to recycling-it's disposing of organic food waste in a way that allows it to break
down naturally instead of being buried in landfills.When you compost food wastes,they
can be processed into nutrient-rich soil.It's a planet-friendly cycle.36
Research your town's rules
Some large cities in the US-such as New York,San Francisco,and Seattle-have
made it a legal requirement to compost,providing special bins where people can put their
food waste.37.To find out more,search online for your town name,state,and the
word“composting''.
38
"Green"waste such as fruits,vegetables,eggshells,and coffee grounds and "brown"
waste like leaves,twigs,cardboard,and used paper plates are commonly accepted for
composting.With an adult's help,check the rules for composting near you.
Pick a spot to compost
39.You can keep it simple by using a mixing bowl where you can throw kitchen
leftovers as you prepare meals.Be sure to cover the bowl with a plate to reduce odors and
avoid attracting fruit flies.You can also buy a countertop compost container.
Make it part of a routine
To prevent your food waste container from overflowing,your family will naturally need
to take it to the local drop-off site frequently.A weekly trip can easily become part of your
routine.Choose a specific day for this task.This simple habit keeps your kitchen tidy.
40
A.Learn what to compost
B.Choose a suitable method
C.You can participate by following a few easy steps
D Other towns may have a drop-off spot for compost
E.More importantly,it also helps the environment significantly
F.Always separate meat and dairy products from compostable items
G.Decide what kind of container to use for compost and where you'll store it

When you hear "black tea"in the West and "red tea"in Asia,you're actually talking
about the same tea.The historical origins of 56 word"tea"date back to the trade
ways between China and Britain in the 17th century,57 each culture focused on
different features of the tea.
When British58 (businessman)first came across the Chinese tea industry,
they faced a significant cultural disconnect in naming habits.While Chinese traders referred
to their 59 (competc)oxidized()tea leaves as red tea based on the reddish-
brown color of the tea water,British traders named the same product as black tea because of
the dark c(appea.,i the dried tea leaves.

When I landed in a small town in New Zealand as an exchange student,I thought I was
ready for everything-new faces,language barriers,strange social patterns and even
homesickness.Still,the smallest things made me feel out of placc.
Luckily,the Wilsons,my host family,did everything they could to help me settle in-
driving me around,sharing meals,and even letting me use their kitchen when I missed
Chinese food.With their warmth and support,everything seemed to fall into place.
But at school,small moments felt bigger than I'd imagined.In our first literature class,
we discussed a Hemingway story.Everyone jumped in actively,while I struggled to speak
up.My desk-mate encouraged me,"Next time,just speak up."I nodded,forcing a bitter
smile.
And just like that,I found myself in another cultural trap,Mrs.Wilson's birthday dinner.
At the table,I answered politely but kept mostly to myself.Mrs.Wilson noticed my silence-
and gently asked,"You alright,sweet girl?You're so quiet tonight."My face reddened.
Was my silence seen as cold,rather than polite?
That night,restless and wide awake,I wondered if I needed to laugh louder,speak
faster;or hide parts of myself just to feel I belonged.Questions flooded my mind,none with
answers.
A few days later,our teacher announced there would be a Culture Festival next week
"You'll prepare a stand to share your own culture -food,crafts,customs...anything
meaningful.You can not only display your culture but also make it interactive,allowing
people to try new things,learn traditional skills or share stories and cultural symbols,"she
said.The class lit up with excitement.I sat frozen,mind racing:how could I share my
traditions in English?The thought made my stomach twisted().Yet,I gathered myself
