After floating (漂浮) for 55 days on the water, the five fishermen looked weathered, thin, but unbelievably alive. Vladimir, Jose, Jose Gabriel, Jhonny, and Jorge had become more than just fellow survivors during their terrible journey. They were now brothers, united by an experience that would forever connect them. “I never thought we’d make it,” Vladimir said as the Ecuadorian rescue boat pulled alongside them. His fellow fishermen nodded, each lost in memories of their impossible survival. Their adventure had begun as a fishing trip from Peru. Two days later, their boat’s engine failed, leaving them powerless and directionless. Fortunately, they survived by collecting rainwater, fishing with temporary lines and sharing everything they caught. When there was little food, they talked about their families, their dreams, and their lives back home. Jhonny from Colombia would tell jokes that made everyone laugh. Jose would sing old Peruvian folk songs that kept their spirits high. “We became a family out there,” Jorge later told reporters. “Not just fishermen from different countries, but true brothers.” Their rescue was more than just a miracle (奇迹). It showed human connection that went beyond national borders. As they arrived at the Galapagos Islands, local people gave them food and warm blankets. Children waved flags, international media gathered, and for a moment, these five ordinary fishermen became extraordinary symbols of hope. “We didn’t just survive,” Vladimir said with a smile. “We proved that when humans work together, nothing is impossible.” The five fishermen, once strangers from different countries, were now united by an experience that would define their lives forever. And as they hugged their families and felt solid ground under their feet, they knew their real journey was just beginning. 4. How did the fishermen possibly feel upon seeing the Ecuadorian boat? A. Embarrassed. B. Hopeful. C. Uneasy. D. Bored. 5. How did the fishermen keep their spirits high? A. By planning ways to return home. B. By competing in fishing contests. C. By arguing about survival strategies. D. By sharing something personal or interesting. 6. What happened to the fishermen when they reached the Galapagos Islands? A. They were invited to studios. B. They were rushed to a hospital. C. They were greeted warmly. D. They were sent home quickly. 7. What did the fishermen’s story show? A. The power of human cooperation. B. The appeal of ocean fishing. C. The need for better first aid systems. D. The importance of advanced technology. C Giving has many benefits, but it isn’t always easy. For example, if you suffer from depression (抑郁), you may find it hard to get up in the morning, let alone help others. But new research by Shenzhen and Peking Universities finds there may be a clever way to give. In the study, researchers arranged hundreds of young, depressed adults to either make daily micro-donations for two months or to be on a waiting list. Told that giving small donations helps improve society, participants were invited to donate at least one cent per day for the next two months to any charity. Before and every week during those two months, all participants filled out questionnaires that were about their possible depression-related aspects: depressed feelings, lack of joy, physical discomforts, sleepiness, and interpersonal problems, as well as how often they felt positive and negative feelings. After analyzing the results, the researchers found people who donated daily, even as little as one cent a day, felt significantly more positive than people on the waiting list. This, in turn, seemed to explain why they also felt less depressed each week. In other words, making donations, even small ones, helps improve mood (心情). And, though social connection wasn’t necessary for deriving benefit, the study suggests donating could help depressed people who might otherwise refuse to practice kindness toward others, according to Jinting Liu, one of the study’s coauthors. Liu suggests this could be due to the fact that if you tend to feel depressed, focusing on others for a while gives you a break from thinking about yourself and your shortcomings. It’s also possible that giving makes you feel better about yourself and that prevents the negative self-talk common to depressives. Interestingly, although people who gave more generously felt a bit happier and less depressed than those who gave less, the difference wasn’t big enough to be significant. This means even people with low means can make use of this simple activity. “Just doing something nice for others is great,” says Liu. “The amount of money isn’t the key part; it’s really about the kindness behind it.” 8. What information did the researchers collect about all participants? A. Their levels of depressive signs. B. Their willingness to donate. C. The quality of their social life. D. The frequency of their sleepiness. 9. What does the underlined word “deriving” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Using. B. Reducing. C. Doubting. D. Getting. 10. Why might giving help depressed individuals? A. It ensures comfortable talks. B. It reduces self-focus time. C. It encourages physical activity. D. It improves interpersonal relationships. 11. What can be learned according to the study? A. Giving is difficult to practice. B. Money amount determines results. C. Tiny kindnesses remain helpful. D. Generosity is the key source of joy. D How do you beat the summer heat? If you’ re like most people, you turn the air conditioning on when it’s the hottest time of the day. But what if you could use nonpeak (非高峰的) electrical hours and store the cold to use the next day? This idea has become a reality for a New York City high-rise that’s being cooled by ice. Eleven Madison, a skyscraper in the heart of Manhattan, is using cool, frozen ice overnight to cool the building, reported CBS News. Four stories below ground, an ice battery system freezes water during the night, when electrical use is low, and uses this ice to cool the building during the day. “There’s about 500,000 pounds of ice created every night,” said Holly Paeper, president of Trane Technologies, a company that did the installation (装置) . Air conditioning uses nearly 20% of energy use in homes and businesses globally. However, on extremely hot days, that number can jump to 70%. Installations like the one in Eleven Madison help to lower that. According to Paeper, the company has installed the technology in about 4,000 sites worldwide. The system in the basement of Eleven Madison uses 100 tanks that are each the size of a parking spot. Because there’s a lot of energy consumed in freezing water, a more effective way had to be found. “We take water, and add some other elements in it,” explained Dr. Patrick Shamberger, an associate professor at Texas A&M. “So we can take control of that temperature basically anywhere we want it, in the zero to 20℃ range.” While ice batteries aren’t being used to cool food or to power electrical devices, they’re being used to cool buildings. For now, combining ice batteries with other types of energy storage from renewables can help the power grid (电网) to keep up in hot weather as well as lower the cost of electricity. It’s a win-win for all. 12. What does the author want to stress in paragraph 3? A. The necessity of ice batteries. B. The popularity of the technology. C. The features of the high-rise. D. The significance of air conditioning. 13. Why were some elements added in the water? A. To make the water cleaner. B. To use the energy fully. C. To control the temperature. D. To add space occupation. 14. What can be inferred about ice batteries according to the text? A. They are cheap to install. B. They are energy-saving. C. They are extremely harmful. D. They are used to cool food. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Process of Ice Battery Production B. Power-hungry Air Conditioning C. Advantages of Storing Electricity D. A Creative System for Cooling 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。 Good sportsmanship (体育精神) is important because it makes competitive play more enjoyable for everyone participating in the competition.___16___.

Turning eleven was a big deal, and she had always celebrated it with a grand party surrounded by her friends. However, this year was different. The burden of excessive homework and her parents’ struggling business weighed heavily on her, forcing Sally to make the difficult decision of not having a birthday party, even though it was an event she enjoyed dearly every year. One day, during break, her best friend, Jane, with a curious look in her eyes, approached. “Are you going to have a birthday party this year?” Jane asked, sensing Sally’s sadness. “No,” Sally sighed and replied sadly, “There’s just too much going on and my parents are going through financial difficulties.” She smiled weakly, trying to conceal her immense disappointment and stress, but Jane saw through her pretence (假装) easily. Jane nodded thoughtfully and did not say anything. After the break, Sally saw her talking to one of their classmates, Sarah, secretively. Curious, Sally went over to them, but as soon as Jane saw her, she quickly walked away. Sally was startled by Jane’s strange actions and turned towards Sarah. “What did she say?” Sally asked. However, Sarah simply shrugged (耸肩) and walked away with Jane, leaving Sally standing there, feeling left out and anxious. “What is happening?” Sally wondered anxiously, “Are they keeping something from me?” As Sally’s birthday drew nearer, Jane was often found chatting softly with her other classmates. Whenever Sally went over to them, they would just walk away or tell her that they were talking about a secret which Sally was not allowed to know. “Jane has never kept secrets from me before.” Sally thought. Her heart sank. Even her friends were distancing themselves from her! She swung between confusion and sadness with each passing moment, desperately trying to figure out what was happening. Why were her friends distancing themselves from her? And what were they hiding? 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。 On the day of Sally’s birthday, she went to school and found her classroom in total darkness. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The unexpected surprise brought tears to Sally’s eyes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 集宁二中2025—2026学年下学期高二年级期中检测卷 英语 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．When does the man’s plane take off?

The topic of my speech is “Our Planet, Our Responsibility.” As we all know, a healthy environment provides us with essential resources, without which life would be unimaginable. Therefore, it is our responsibility to protect it. So, what can we do? Firstly, it is highly advisable to embrace a low-carbon lifestyle, such as choosing public transport or cycling over private cars. Moreover, we should cultivate the habit of reducing waste, saying no to single-use plastics and reusing items like shopping bags. These habits, once formed, will make a real difference. The future of our planet lies in our hands. Let’s take immediate action to build a more sustainable world for all. 第二节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】范文 On the day of Sally’s birthday, she went to school and found her classroom in total darkness. A wave of confusion washed over her as she stepped hesitantly into the room, her heart pounding. She reached for the light switch, but before her hand could find it, a chorus of voices broke the silence. “Surprise!”, her classmates, led by Jane, jumped out from all sorts of hiding places. As the room flooded with light, Sally’s eyes widened in surprise and disbelief. The classroom was decorated with balloons and streamers, a beautiful cake sat on the teacher’s desk, and in the corner, a pile of presents waited to be unwrapped. The unexpected surprise brought tears to Sally’s eyes. She turned towards Jane, who was grinning from ear to ear. “We knew you couldn’t have a party this year, so we decided to bring the party to you,” Jane said, her eyes twinkling with mischief. The cloud of confusion lifted from Sally’s mind as she realized that her friends hadn’t been distancing themselves from her, they were planning this surprise all along. The sadness that had been looming over her birthday disappeared, replaced with joy and gratitude. As she cut the cake and opened her presents, Sally realized that this was indeed a grand birthday party, just like the ones she used to have. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
