Interestingly, merely 7% of us are taking on chores voluntarily, while nearly 60% feel not very willing or even reluctant. This result clearly reflects a general lack of enthusiasm for doing housework. In my opinion, this may stem from heavy academic pressure and parents’ overprotection, as they believe study is our top priority and tend to take over all housework. However, doing housework is by no means a waste of time. It cultivates responsibility and practical skills like time management, while helping us appreciate parents’ efforts and lighten their load. I thus advocate integrating small chores into our daily life — a simple step towards personal growth and closer family ties. What do you think? Feel free to leave your comments below. (122 words) 读后续写： One possible version: The next day, with a heavy heart, I almost dragged myself into the principal’s office. He looked up from his desk, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, and cut straight to the point: “So — what did your grandpa say?” Sitting upright with hands clasped tight, I stated Grandpa’s decision: “He said he wouldn’t pay for something I’ve already earned.” A sharp silence cracked between us. The principal paused, brows knitted and jaw set, as if wrestling with a difficult decision. Minutes stretched on before he finally spoke up, “The Board will reconsider the policy.” But no hope stirred in me — “reconsider” sounded more like a polite way to end the conversation. I nodded faintly and headed for the door. At the end of the day, Mr. Smith brought me the news about the scholarship jacket. “Congratulations, kid. The Board has made an exception for you.” Mr. Smith winked and patted me on the back. “You spoke bravely for yourself---don’t lose that voice.” His words echoed like a victory bell in my chest. I sprinted to the bean field and told the good news to Grandpa between ragged breaths. He kept hoeing, yet his smile grew wider than the row ahead. Crumbling warm earth through my fingers, I saw it clearly: courage is a seed; once you plant your voice, the world shifts an inch toward justice, and that inch is enough to grow a life upon.

M: If I get bored with the bookstore, I’ll go to the café for a drink. Text 2 W: I always liked acting and I think I’d enjoy doing it in a stage performance. M: ② Oh, I don’t think the Acting Club is for me. W: You like to argue with others, don’t you? I suggest you sign up for the Debate Club. M: That sounds greatly fun. Text 3 W: Harry, what time do you get up? M: ③ I normally get up at 6 o’clock but sometimes I have to be up by five. W: Do you practice yoga in the morning? M: Yes. I usually practice it half an hour later after I get up. Text 4 M: I think we should plant something tall and fast-growing here. Bamboo could be a good choice — it creates a natural screen and attracts some birds. W: Bamboo? ④ But I heard it spreads too quickly and might spread throughout the whole garden. Text 5 M: Pardon me, Miss. Do you have change for a dollar? W: ⑤ I’m afraid not, you’ll have to ask someone else. Text 6 W: Excuse me, I’m looking for the … are you the manager? M: Yes, I am. What can I do for you? W: I bought this yesterday, but I didn’t look at the receipt until today — ⑥ and I’m shocked that I didn’t get the discount that you are advertising. I thought that this item would be 25% off! M: May I take a look? Hmm… it says it was checked out on register four-that’s Heather. She is new on staff, so she probably didn’t know about the sale. I’m very sorry about that. ⑦ I’ll fix the problem right away and get you some cash. W: Thanks very much. I’ll just be waiting over there. Text 7 W: Hello, Roger. It’s Laura. M: Laura! How are you? W: Fine. How are things with you and Millie? M: Great… fine… everything’s fine. ⑧ We’ve got all Millie’s sisters round for lunch at the moment. W: Yes, I can hear you’re busy! Listen, I won’t keep you. ⑨ I was just phoning to ask if you and Millie are doing anything next Saturday night. If not, would you like to come for a meal? Patrick and Colin are coming over, and we thought it would be nice if you were there too. M: ⑩ We can’t, I’m afraid. An old mate of mine from college is getting married up in Scotland, and we’re going up there for the wedding. What a shame! It’d be nice to see you all again. W: Yeah, it is a shame. Text 8 W: Dr. Twain. I’m considering taking your course in Economics. Would you mind giving me some advice? M: Absolutely not. W: Well, I have been discussing it with my parents and they are concerned that it will not be easy for me to get a well-paid job with a degree in Economics. ⑪ But I think it’s a great career in the future. M: I agree with you. ⑫ A large part of this course is dedicated to teaching students how to manage finances. I would also recommend that you take a course in time management or note-taking, as these can be useful in planning your workload. W: I’ll remember that. M: Now, are you interested in any of the other subjects? W: Yes, I’m interested in Travel and Business. M: That is really worth learning; however, be aware that it is challenging. What about Public Relations? It’s tiring but useful. W: I’m not sure whether I would enjoy that course. ⑬ How about Statistics? M: Yes, I would recommend that course. It would be related to entering the economic industry. W: OK. I’ll take it. Thank you! Text 9 W: ⑭ Can I see your passport, please? M: Is this line for non-residents? W: Yes it is. Residents can queue up in the lines to my right. M: OK. Here’s my passport. W: What’s the expiration date on your passport? M: I think it’s coming up, maybe in a few months. It was renewed in Beijing, so the new expiration date is on the last page. W: ⑮ I see. Yes, you’ll need to renew your passport in a few months. Make sure you don’t let it expire while you are in the U. K. M: I won’t. W: Do you have anything to declare? M: No, I don’t have anything to declare. W: How long will you be staying in the UK? M: I’ll be here about a year. W: What is the purpose of your stay? M: ⑯ I’ll be studying. I’m doing an MBA at Nottingham University. W: Where will you be staying? M: I have a housing contract with the university. I’ll be in a dorm room on campus. W: ⑰ How do you plan on paying for your living costs and tuition fees while you are here? M: My father has already paid for that in advance. Here are the receipts. W: OK. Have a good stay. ⑭ Here’s your passport and your documents. M: Thank you very much. Text 10 Currently, there are over 1,000 seed banks located all over the world. ⑳ How does the seed bank work? First, scientists from all over the world collect endangered and useful wild species, put them in a paper or cotton bag to prevent them from getting bad, and send them to the seed bank. Once the seeds arrive, they’re dried and preserved in a special room. ⑱ After that, X-rays confirm that the seeds are undamaged and that no insects are hidden inside. The seeds are then frozen, stored in special containers and then placed in huge freezers at -20℃ for long-term storage, ⑲ which allows the seeds to be preserved for decades and reawakened when required. One of the most famous seed banks, Svalbard International Seed Bank, now holds more than one million seed samples. It is located deep in a frozen Arctic mountain in Norway. As Earth is facing huge challenges like climate change, these seed banks are surely significant to safeguard the future of the world’s food supply. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★考试结束前 宁波市2025学年第一学期期末九校联考 高二英语试题 本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第II卷（非选择题）。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1．答第Ⅰ卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。不能答在本试卷上，否则无效。 第Ⅰ卷 第一部分：听力（共两节；满分30分） 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.

B After Stewart and Debbie Wilder lost their 17-year-old son Cameron in a car accident in 2013, holiday decorations became the last thing on their minds. “We haven’t put anything up in three years. It’s all stayed boxed up,” Debbie told KTVB in 2016. “Cameron’s friends come over for Thanksgiving or Christmas, but we don’t have him anymore.” Yet in December 2016, their home was glowing with strings of white Christmas lights — it wasn’t the Wilders, but a stranger, who made the house twinkle again. 30-year-old Carson Zickgraf, who runs a professional light-hanging business, CZ Enterprises LLC, is on a mission: to brighten the lives of families affected by the loss of beloved ones, especially during the holiday seasons. “I started crying when I saw the lights,” Debbie recalled. “It was really special.” Since 2015, Zickgraf has donated his services to more than two dozen families, most of whom are strangers he learns about through a local support group. He usually knocks on the door to tell the family his plan before hanging the lights; if the family is out, he’ll put up some lights as a surprise. The project began by chance. Zickgraf was decorating a client’s house, when the client mentioned that his neighbors were having a hard time that holiday season because their son just passed away. He immediately sent his crew to decorate their home, and the family was overjoyed. Having lost two friends himself, Zickgraf saw this as a calling: “You can do small things like mowing lawns or buying meals, but you always wish you could do more. There is something special about Christmas lights. They warm the spirit.” Before each job, Zickgraf prepares with great care: if he speaks to the family beforehand, he asks for the deceased’s favorite light colors; for surprises, he reads online memorials to infer the colors that the deceased might have liked. When Zickgraf sends his paid staff to carry out a task, he doesn’t tell them the backstory out of respect for the family’s privacy, though the workers sometimes figure it out on their own. On several occasions, when the employees found out who the lights were for, they stopped the clock and refused to take pay. “We can’t take away their grief,” Zickgraf said, “but we can make the holidays a little cheerier by letting in some light.” 24. What can be inferred about the Wilders from the first two paragraphs? A. They hired Zickgraf to decorate their house in 2016. B. They donated Christmas lights to other families in need. C. They were too grief-stricken to decorate for holidays after 2013. D. They stopped hosting friends for holiday gatherings after Cameron’s death. 25. What initially inspired Zickgraf to launch the light-decoration project? A. A wish to alleviate his own sorrow. B. A request from the local support network. C. A desire to expand the influence of his business. D. A casual mention from a client about his neighbors’ loss. 26. What can be concluded from the reactions of Zickgraf’s employees? A. They are dissatisfied with their pay. B. They hope for recognition from the families. C. They are willing to contribute to the meaningful project. D. They are required to keep the families’ backstories secret. 27. Which of the following can best describe Carson Zickgraf? A. Compassionate and thoughtful. B. Ambitious and outspoken. C. Modest and determined. D. Humorous and skillful. C Have you ever struggled to follow a conversation in a crowded café, with clattering dishes and chattering voices drowning out your friend? You might think it’s a sign of hearing problems, but new research published in PLOS One tells a different story — this difficulty often lies in how your brain processes sound, not your ears themselves. Led by Bonnie Lau from the University of Washington School of Medicine, the study tested 49 participants divided into three groups: those with autism (自闭症), those with fetal alcohol syndrome (胎儿酒精综合症), and neurotypical (神经正常的) individuals. All had normal hearing, but their ability to understand speech in noisy settings varied greatly. The key finding was that cognitive ability strongly influenced their performance, and this link held true across all three groups, regardless of diagnosis. To confirm their assumption, researchers designed a computer-based task. Participants listened to a male speaker’s commands (e.g., “Ready, Eagle, go to Green Five now”) while two background voices grew gradually louder. They had to focus on the main speaker and select the matching colored and numbered box. Afterward, they took standardized intelligence tests covering verbal skills, nonverbal ability, and mental reasoning. The results showed a clear connection between intellectual ability and speech perception in noisy environments. Lau explained that listening in complex settings requires heavy cognitive work. The brain must separate different speech streams, focus on the target speaker, block background noise, decode language, and even use social skills like smiling or nodding — all of which increase cognitive load. This challenges the common misconception that listening difficulties always mean hearing loss. “You don’t have to have a hearing loss to struggle in noisy places,” Lau noted. While acknowledging that the study’s small sample size means its results require further replication, Lau emphasized that the findings offer practical insights. For example, in classrooms, having students seated closer to the teacher or providing hearing-assistive tools can help, especially for neurodivergent (神经多样性) individuals or those with lower cognitive ability. So, next time you find it hard to hear in a crowd, don’t blame your ears. Your cognitive ability plays a key role, and small changes to your surroundings can make a big difference. 28. Why does the author mention a crowded café at the beginning of the passage? A. To share a personal annoyance. B. To introduce a new research finding. C. To explore the underlying causes of noise. D. To warn about hearing damage from loud noise. 29. What BEST explains the link between cognitive ability and listening difficulties in complex settings? A. Hearing loss increases the difficulty of processing speech. B. The brain fails to recognize different types of background noise. C. The brain prioritizes employing social skills over decoding language. D. Multiple cognitive tasks performed at the same time burden the brain. 30. What is Bonnie Lau’s attitude towards the implication of the study’s findings? A. Doubtful. B. Cautious C. Supportive. D. Critical. 31. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Hearing loss is the main reason for difficulty following conversations in noisy places. B. Neurodivergent people have poorer speech perception than neurotypical ones in noise. C. Environmental adjustments can significantly improve communication in noisy settings. D. Cognitive processing is the primary source of difficulty in understanding speech in crowds. D Vogue’s recent landmark report has uncovered a cruel fact about the fashion industry: 97% of models at New York, London, Milan and Paris fashion shows wear UK size 4 to 8 (equal to XS to S in Chinese sizes), exposing that the industry’s talk of body positivity is nothing but empty slogans. Despite body positivity being a popular term in fashion circles, the commitment to size inclusivity remains superficial (肤浅的) and unfulfilled. Based on data collected from 198 shows and presentations by Vogue Business, the report reveals striking differences in the runway representation this season. Merely 2% of models fall into the “mid-size” category (UK 10-16), and less than 1% are defined as “plus-size” (UK 18+). This stands in sharp contrast to the UK’s average dress size of 16, meaning high fashion’s beauty standards still favor extreme thinness, far slimmer than the UK average dress size — even size 8 models struggle to establish successful careers in the industry. The narrow beauty standard promoted on the catwalk has a “ripple effect” (连锁反应), shaping trends on e-commerce platforms, in magazines, and even in mainstream advertising. For instance, brands like Marks &Spencer and Zara are showing a clear preference for the idealized images in advertisements, and were once fined by the Advertising Standards Authority for featuring “unhealthily thin” models. Even when plus-size representation is attempted, it is often no more than a symbolic gesture, with advertising designers hiring just one plus-size model per project as a mere formality. Worse still, since the pandemic, the rise of weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and increased screen time have fueled the craze for thinness. Elektra Kotsoni, deputy director of Vogue Business, describes the situation as pretty “dire”, noting that more female editors than ever are complaining about models’ extreme thinness. A reader survey found 48% feel pressured to lose weight to be fashionable, and 13% have used weight-loss drugs. Leading fashion figures, including editors from The Times, British Vogue, and Elle UK, have voiced concerns about the normalisation of skeletal models, echoing the dangerous “heroin chic” trend of the 1990s that shocked the public decades ago. 32. According to Vogue’s report, what is the reality of model sizes on major fashion runways? A. That most models are limited to a narrow size range. B. That the typical model size is in line with the national average. C. That mid-size models comprise the majority in the fashion shows. D. That plus-size models have gained equal representation on runways. 33. The examples of Marks & Spencer and Zara are used to illustrate that ________. A. some brands are leading the way in promoting body positivity B. the thin ideal from the runway has influenced wider media practices C. these brands have suffered substantial losses due to the controversy D. the Advertising Standards Authority has banned the use of thin models 34. The underlined word “dire” used to describe the situation by Elektra Kotsoni probably means ________. A. favourable B. awful C. complex D. common 35. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for this passage? A. A Statistical Overview: Varied Model Sizes in the Fashion World. B. A Positive Shift: Body Positivity is Reshaping the Fashion Industry. C. An Industry Debate: Internal Concerns Over the Public Health Standards. D. Beyond the Trend: The Unmet Commitment to Size Diversity in Fashion. 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。 Have you noticed how deeply AI is integrating into kids’ lives? Last month, I watched my 8-year-old niece learn math from an AI tutor one minute and laugh at AI-generated cartoons the next. My nephew, too, is obsessed with his smart, chatty doll and can’t tear himself away from it. Honestly, AI has made kids’ learning and play more dynamic and fun. 36 . It’s time to pause and think about how kids can safely navigate growth in this digital era. Direct risks aren’t theoretical — they come from the misuse or malfunction of AI. Kids sometimes use AI to copy homework, or create “deepfake” videos to bully classmates. 37 . Some chatbots even encourage self-harming behaviour among children. Let’s be real, most little ones lack the ability to use AI responsibly or distinguish fact from falsehood, which put them at a higher risk. Beyond these obvious risks, more hidden ones arise even when AI works as designed. My niece told me that after she watched a recommended video, her tablet would show her similar content over and over again. 38 . These are what people called “information bubbles” — trapping people in a narrow cycle of content. For kids who are still developing thinking skills, this kind of controlled information flow may limit their perspectives and affect cognitive growth. 39 . My nephew, for instance, prefers talking to his AI companion over his classmates. Unlike humans, the AI toy rarely argues or criticizes. What’s worrying is that if kids overly rely on this one-sided way of communication, they might lose the ability to handle disagreements or reach compromises when they grow up. To address these issues, we need both immediate actions and long-term strategies. Governments should set age limits on certain AI apps, while parents should evaluate AI tools for their kids carefully. 40 . As a place where much of childhood plays out, they should take advantage of the educational setting to teach things that AI can’t how to debate, how to cooperate, and perhaps even how to appreciate different viewpoints. A. Beyond these efforts, schools play a key role B. AI tutors occasionally supply inaccurate content C. AI has undoubtedly made learning more engaging for students D. One-sided relationships with AI chatbots present a similar danger E. Consequently, strict parental control over screen time is crucially important F. The technology can quickly learn users’ preferences and created “echo chambers” G. However, these benefits come with significant risks that demand our shared attention 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分35分） 第一节：完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分；满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，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。 Recently, I read a magazine article stating that people tend to turn into their parents as they age. The 41 signs include complaining about the weather, choosing comfort over style in clothing, going to bed early, and repeating family recipes — like my mom’s Sunday roast beef, a British tradition I once laughed at. 42 , this usually starts at 45, but I am certain it doesn’t 43 me, even though I’m 47. I’ve always lived differently. My parents had a big house with a ping-pong table and 44 weekly tournaments (锦标赛); I rent a small flat near a recreation center for indoor tennis. Mom loved vegetable gardening, but I only grow flowers in small pots. I 45 camper-van trips (Dad’s favorite) and Sunday roasts, nor do I 46 and suddenly wake up while watching TV or moan about rain when it delays. My daughter disagreed when I showed her the article. “Mom, you’re just like them,” she said as I 47 more chocolate cake, citing calories. “Grandma always counted calories!” She also pointed out I use Mom’s vintage teacups — ones I used to call “old-fashioned”. Her words made me 48 . Later, I noticed that a friend 49 her house with wallpaper like her mom’s, and my sister 50 bought a ping-pong table for neighbors. I somehow caught myself’ humming Dad’s favorite Tony Bennett songs. It was then that I realized these similarities are actually rather 51 . I found home’s familiarity in Dad’s cuckoo clock and Mom’s split pea soup. So, instead of resisting, I learned to 52 this change. Last week, I even made Mom’s roast beef — it tasted like 53 . I guess I’ve unknowingly become a mini 54 of my parents, and I must admit: I don’t just like it; I’m 55 for it. 41. A. rare B. typical C. random D. secret 42. A. Unluckily B. Ultimately C.

As a straight-A student since my first year, I was determined to win it. Raised by my grandparents on a small farm, money was always tight — we simply could not afford fees or trips for any sports events. I knew the sports jacket was out of my reach, so the scholarship jacket was my only chance. However, one afternoon, I accidentally overheard my teachers arguing in the classroom. Mr. Smith was angrily defending my academic record, “Martha deserves the jacket!” Yet, Mr. Bonne responded calmly, “But Joan’s father is on the Board. We could say it was a close tie and…” The rest of his words were drowned out by the pounding in my ears. I stood frozen, feeling my dream shatter in the face of cruel injustice. The next day, the principal called me in. Avoiding eye contact, he awkwardly explained a new “policy” to me: the Board would charge fifteen dollars for the jacket this year. “If you can’t pay,” he declared, “it will go to the next one in line.” Shocked as I was, I refused to give in without a word. Mustering all my dignity, I replied, “I’ll speak to my grandpa and let you know tomorrow.” Grandpa was working in the bean field when I found him. Voice shaky, I blurted out the news about the fifteen-dollar fee. ‘I have to take the money tomorrow, otherwise it’ll be given to someone else.” Grandpa paused, straightened his weary back, and rested his chin on the hoe (锄头) handle. He gazed at the green shoots before turning to me. “What does a scholarship jacket mean?” he asked quietly. “It means you’ve earned it by having the highest grades for eight years,” I answered without hesitation. “Then if you pay for it, it’s not a scholarship jacket, is it?” Grandpa said, driving his hoe firmly into the soil. “Tell your principal I won’t pay.” I walked back to the house and locked myself in the bathroom for a long time. I was angry with the Board for changing the rule; and I was angry with grandfather even though I knew he was right. 注意：1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 The next day, with a heavy heart, I almost dragged myself into the principal’s office. ______________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the end of the day, Mr. Smith brought me the news about the scholarship jacket. _______________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
