For those under academic and social pressures, it serves as a vital means to promote both physical vitality and mental resilience. Personally, I have been practising scientific fitness by jogging for 20 minutes every morning, which makes me energetic and refreshed remarkably. Not only has my physical strength increased, but my self-confidence has also been enhanced. Let us all embrace scientific fitness with enthusiasm. Start with achievable goals and progress step by step. Together, we can power up the youth and forge a stronger, healthier future for all. 47．One possible version: One of the judges asked softly, “Can you explain how your rocket works?” My throat tightened. The glitter fuel jar felt suddenly heavy in my palm. “Well…the glitter creates driving force when it sparkles,” I stammered, watching the judge’s smile fade into polite confusion. Beside me, Tom demonstrated his robotic arm’s precise candy-sorting calculation using real coding terms. My cardboard wings bent under the gym’s colorful lights as I finally understood — while I’d been crafting decorations, others had been studying actual science. When the awards were announced, my name wasn’t called. Mary got third place for her plant experiment. Tom won second with his robot arm. The gold medal went to an eighth grader who made a water cleaner using real science. I clapped but felt my face turn hot. My rocket’s glitter looked childish now. Mom hugged me and said, “Real scientists fail many times before they succeed.” Dad pointed to the gold medal winner — she had made a volcano the year before but worked harder this time. Walking home, I held my rocket tightly. That night, I started drawing new plans for next year’s science fair. The medal still mattered, but I wanted to earn it properly — with real experiments, not just glitter. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 石嘴山市第一中学2025-2026学年高二年级下5月阶段检测 （高二年级5月月考） 英语试题 （本卷共150分，时间120分钟。） 阅读（共两节，满分 50 分） 第一节（共 15 小题;每小题 2. 5 分，满分 37. 5 分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Fight climate change while traveling Whether you’re commuting or vacationing, travel can cause a lot of pollution, for most vehicles are powered by burning gas. As the pie chart illustrates, the transportation sector accounted for a major share of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2022. Tourism also contributes to climate pollution, with transportation making up the majority of tourism-related emissions. But that doesn’t mean you have to stop traveling for fun altogether. You can make a difference by focusing on greener transportation options and fuel efficiency. ·Use Greener Transportation Air travel emissions can be reduced by choosing direct flights or taking the train or a bus instead of flying. Even if a bus is gas-powered, it’s better for the climate than a car because it can transport many people with a single engine. If a car is the best option, consider replacing your traditional car with an electric or hybrid vehicle at the end of its life. (And drive the speed limit!). Clean energy helps avoid additional emissions. ·Focus on Efficiency If available, minimizes fuel use, saving money and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.  Drive smart and improve your fuel economy by going easy on the brakes and gas and keeping your car well-maintained.  Vehicle Selection and Efficiency Strategies Selection Key Feature Website for information Energy-efficient vehicle Higher miles per gallon Environmental Protection Agency Electric vehicle Less greenhouse gas emissions than average new gasoline-powered cars Department of Energy Energy-saving electric vehicle charger Improve efficiency and receive benefits like lower electricity bills. EPA’s Energy Star 1．Which sector emitted the most greenhouse gases in the U.S. in 2022? A．Agriculture. B．Industry. C．Transportation. D．Electric Power Industry. 2．What makes gas-powered buses a better choice than electric cars? A．They use clean energy. B．They produce no waste. C．They consume less fuel per person. D．They travel with no speed limit. 3．Which website offers details about rewards for driving smart? A．EPA’s Energy Star. B．Department of Energy. C．Environmental Protection Agency. D．Department of Transportation. B Being busy with personal and professional responsibilities makes many women feel stressed. Hot Mess Express offers the support needed to create a sense of order and comfort at home. Jen Hamilton, a nurse and mother of two, created Hot Mess Express in 2021 after learning that a large number of women, particularly moms, were struggling to manage their homes due to life’s many pressures. Through posting an online video about her journey, Jen has been able to reach a wide audience, expanding Hot Mess Express into a nationwide organization. “I’m a mom that suffered a lot of anxiety after giving birth to my son. It was really hard, all the housework was piling up and I wished I had someone that just came in and said, ‘Don’t worry about those dishes; I will wash them for you,” said Brandy Hall, the Chaos Coordinator for Hot Mess Express. But what truly sets Hot Mess Express apart is its empathy. The team recognizes that everyone has moments when life becomes hard. They show up with empathy. They don’t just offer cleaning and organizing services. More importantly, they are willing to talk with the women who are stuck at home and feel down. They are able to help ease that feeling. Those who have received help from the organization describe feeling a renewed sense of hope and energy. Their services have offered a fresh start to families burdened by housework and disorganization. In fact, many clients (委托人) believe the organization gives them the mental and emotional support they need to deal with other parts of their lives. As Hot Mess Express continues to grow, Jen and her team hope to inspire others to join them in helping women get back on their feet. Their message is simple: no one should have to face life’s challenges alone, and everyone needs a helping hand in times of need. 4．How did Jen make Hot Mess Express a nationwide organization? A．By offering services for free. B．By attending a television show. C．By sharing her story on the Internet D．By partnering with professional workers. 5．What makes Hot Mess Express special? A．It offers a listening ear. B．It focuses on cleaning services. C．It has volunteers all over the country. D．It is aimed at families with children. 6．What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A．The influence of the organization on clients’ lives. B．The services provided by the organization. C．The challenges faced by clients of the organization. D．The importance of team-building within the organization. 7．What is Jen’s next goal? A．To develop a line of cleaning products. B．To encourage more people to help women. C．To raise money for families in need of help. D．To expand Hot Mess Express internationally. C Every week, Angela looked at her recycling bin, filled with shampoo bottles and plastic containers, with mixed feelings. Sure, it was a lot of plastic, but it was going to be recycled. Or so she thought. Then, her husband sent her some articles revealing that less than 6% of the country’s plastic gets recycled. She was shocked. Determined to cut back on her plastic consumption, Angela got a starter kit from a company selling refillable household cleaners (家用清洁器). In it were tablets, containing concentrated hand soap as well as glass and bathroom cleaners, and four empty containers. She filled each one with tap water, then dropped in a tablet and watched it dissolve. If she was happy with the cleaners, she would order more tablets but reuse the containers. No new plastic required. Given plastic’s harmful effects on the environment, nearly three quarters of Americans say they are trying to reduce their reliance on single-use plastic, according to Pew Research Center. Since plastic is everywhere and avoiding it altogether is extraordinarily difficult, some, like Angela, have revived a once-customary practice: refilling containers. Household cleaners seem particularly prepared for a refill revolution, for many can be easily concentrated and reconstituted (with water. If just 10% to 20% of plastic packaging are reused, a report from the World Economic Forum estimates, the amount of plastic waste entering the ocean will be cut in half. Not everyone is as enthusiastic, though. Jan Dell, a chemical engineer, noted that many cleaning products are packaged in PET or HDPE, two types of plastic with relatively high recycling rates. So she is less concerned about them but far more concerned about the packaging of other products. “What companies should be focusing on is everything else that isn’t recyclable, that is single use and that often becomes plastic pollution,” she said, pointing to plastic bags and cups. “This is just a classic example of big corporations doing something to attract people’s attention over here on something that’s not the main issue to distract from all the single-use plastic they’re pushing out.” 8．Why is Angela mentioned? A．To promote a tablet. B．To lead in the topic. C．To clarify a concept. D．To recommend a kit. 9．What does the underlined word “dissolve” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Float over water. B．Turn over in water. C．Change color in water. D．Mix with water. 10．What’s Jan Dell’s attitude towards the deeds of big corporations? A．Critical. B．Favourable. C．Conservative. D．Unconcerned. 11．Where is the text probably taken from? A．A chemistry paper. B．An academic report. C．A lifestyle magazine. D．A cleaner advertisement. D The first hotel to change into a migrant shelter was the Row NYC, once a four-star hotel in Times Square that advertised itself as ‌“more New York than New York”. The hotel was repurposed in late 2022, when Mr. Adams declared that the population in traditional homeless shelters had hit a ‌“breaking point” absorbing more than 16,000 asylum seekers. And the city had the responsibility to house homeless people, including new immigrants, under a longstanding mandate (授权) known as right to shelter. Desperate for more space, the city negotiated an initial $40 million deal with the Row, still in financial trouble, from the pandemic (疫情). The hotel received $190 a night per room to house migrant families with children in its 1,331 rooms. As the pace of the migrant arrivals began to exceed 2,000 each week last year, more than 100hotels were turned into shelters. The contracts with the city — totaling up to 1.04 billion — became a boom for hotels recovering from inactive tourism, filling a critical need for migrant beds even as they created a shortage of rooms for some travelers. Nearly two dozen hotels in Mid-town Manhattan were removed from the tourist pipeline, transforming them into unlikely refuges in plain sight. Some drew special attention for robberies in Times Square last year that the police attributed to a small group of migrants living in the hotel. It was Ingrid Henao’s second week in New York, but the parents were already diligently applying for work permits and jobs. Still, Ms. Henao could not shake a feeling of guilt that their stay in the hotel, tucked between the skyscrapers of Billionaire’s Row, was being funded by American taxpayers. They were getting free laundry service, their clothes sometimes returned, folded and placed in their room, as well as housekeeping. Uncomfortable, Ms. Henao would sometimes prevent servants from cleaning the room. ‌“We’re getting spoiled,” Ms. Henao said. ‌“This was never my idea. I didn’t leave my country under the conditions for which we escaped.” 12．What does the author show by ‌“more New York than New York”? A．The Row NYC was a cheap hotel. B．People tended to live in the Row NYC． C．Row NYC was a representative of city culture. D．It’s amazing that the Row NYC was highest hotel. 13．What caused the appearance of the hotels’ turning into shelters? A．The government wanted to make money. B．The tourism was booming and calling for better service. C．Good conditions should be provided for the homeless people. D．The pandemic hit the city and migrant families increased. 14．What long-term issue might hotel conversions cause? A．Rising crime in tourist zones. B．Permanent tourist room shortages. C．Chronic taxpayer resentment. D．Migrant dependency on aid. 15．What is the author’s attitude towards the deed? A．Objective. B．Optimistic. C．Negative, D．Indifferent. 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 Vertical farming, a method of growing plants in layered arrangements, is becoming an increasingly popular solution to urban food production challenges. 16 By using vertical space, it allows more food to be grown in smaller areas, making it ideal for cities with limited land. The first step in establishing a vertical farm is to choose a suitable location. Indoor spaces like warehouses, abandoned buildings, or even repurposed shipping containers are often used. 17 In such spaces, factors like light, temperature, and humidity can be precisely monitored and adjusted. This ensures that plants receive the right amount of light, water, and nutrients, regardless of outdoor weather conditions. Once the location is secured, a water-based or air-based growing system is set up to deliver water and nutrients directly to the plants’ roots. These systems not only use significantly less water than traditional farming methods but also get rid of the need for soil and reduce the risk of pests. 18 Choosing the right crops is also crucial. Some plants, like leafy greens and herbs, have short growth cycles and require minimal space. 19 For instance, lettuce and basil are frequently grown in vertical farms, as they grow rapidly and are highly sought after in urban markets. 20 The initial setup costs for lighting, irrigation systems, and climate control can be high. However, the long-term benefits, such as reduced transportation costs and year-round production, often outweigh these expenses. A．These environments provide controlled conditions. B．It is an innovative approach to sustainable agriculture. C．Vertical farming has advantages but also faces challenges. D．This technology is still in its early stages of development. E．As a result, traditional farming methods are being replaced. F．These characteristics make them perfect for vertical farming. G．This makes vertical farming more efficient and eco-friendly. 语言运用（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节（共 15 小题;每小题 1 分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 When I was in high school, our PE class focused on swimming. I preferred staying in the 21 area where I could touch the bottom, though occasionally I dared to try deeper zones. One day, our teacher 22 the class: “Those with courage may attempt to swim across the pool. Give it a 23 !” Inspired, I joined others as the teacher 24 .

Over twenty activities 37 (hold) during the annual festival, which runs through Feb 28 next year. The highlight of the event is skiing contests, nature watching and an ice dragon boat 38 (compete). Yet mere decades ago, Chagan Lake was a very different place. By the end of the 1970s, the lake had been cut down 39 only dozens of square kilometers due to drought and overfishing. Thanks to the government’ efforts 40 (restore) Chagan to its former glory, the lake now covers 41 area of 500 square kilometers, 42 its fish resources have also recovered. The lake has received more than 1.8 million visitors so far this year, a 29.4% increase 43 (compare) with the same period of the previous year. The charm of ice fishing at Chagan Lake lies in keeping the fishing culture of our 44 (ancestor) alive and carrying it forward hand-drilling holes through the thick ice and lowering nets into the 45 (frost) waters to catch fish. The technique has been listed in a national-level form of intangible cultural heritage. 三、写作 46．你校英语报以Scientific fitness: power up the youth为主题向全校学生征稿。请你写一篇短文投稿，内容包括： 1.表达看法; 2.分享体验。 注意： 1. 80词左右； 2.题目已为你写好。 Scientific fitness: power up the youth _______________________________________________________________________________ 47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 The Science Fair Dream That spring, my fifth-grade self-became determined to win the school Science Fair’s gold medal. Every year, the gym turned into a magical space: third graders’ “talking” plants in pots, sixth graders’ robot fish feeders, and eighth graders’ erupting volcano models that always amazed everyone. This time, I couldn’t stop staring at the shiny medal, as if it belonged to me already. With two weeks left, I felt nervous. My notebook was still empty. “What if you build a rocket?” Mom suggested at breakfast, waving her spoon. The idea lit up my mind — a smooth silver rocket with bright blue flames shooting upward. Nothing could be cooler! We rushed to the store that afternoon. Cardboard turned into rocket parts, and glitter (小发光物) became my space magic. At the kitchen table, I worked like a scientist: pizza box wings, tin foil (锡纸) tips shining like ice. When Dad asked how it would fly, I shook my jar of glitter: “This is the special fuel!” On the morning of the fair, my glittering rocket stood by the door. In the gym, Mary’s plants grew in real dirt, and Tom’s robot arm picked up candies. I placed my rocket under the sunlight, rainbow colors dancing on its surface. As the judges walked closer, I stood tall, waiting for their amazed faces. 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。 One of the judges asked softly, “Can you explain how your rocket works?” ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the awards were announced, my name wasn’t called. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第2页，共8页 试卷第1页，共8页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 答案第2页，共2页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
