There is a line-up of great products for you to look forward to. The Air Board 1.0 The Air Board 1.0 is a fantastic new way to get around on two wheels. The board works when you step onto the pressure pads. If you want to turn, all you have to do is move your weight to the left or right. It can travel at the speed of 10 miles an hour and it takes one hour to be fully charged. The power will last for about ten miles. The Miito The Miito kettle is designed to heat up water in any container. You can fill a cup with the right amount of water and place it on the kettle. After you place the heating rod into the water, the rod will heat up the water. More importantly, the product not only saves water, but also saves electricity, not to mention time waiting for the water to boil. The Oculus rift Have you ever wished you could walk through the world of your games, seeing things as the characters would? Well now, you can. This clever headset allows you to see the world of your games in 3D. The Click & Grow Do you enjoy using herbs and spices when cooking? The Click & Grow makes sure that you always have fresh and well-grown herbs or other plants whenever you need them. It is self-watering, and it also has an LED light that makes sure the plants grow fast and healthy. 1. What can we learn about the Air Board 1.0? A. It is completely automatic. B. It can move and turn flexibly. C. It needs a long time to charge. D. It is the most popular transport for teens. 2. Which product sounds the most energy-efficient? A. The Air Board 1.0. B. The Miito. C. The Oculus rift. D. The Click & Grow. 3. Who might be most interested in the Click & Grow? A. Farmers. B. Doctors. C. Gardeners. D. Cooks. B Saying that those two weeks were an unexpected journey is no exaggeration (夸张). When I applied for a spot on an exchange program in Chengdu, I never thought I’d actually be selected. Before going to China, my experience of Chinese cuisine was limited to lemon chicken, pot noodles, and fried rice. So, in preparation for my trip to China, I was mentally preparing myself for the worst. Eating turned out to be a pleasant surprise. When visiting Dujiangyan, three Chinese students took me to a restaurant. I spent about ten minutes using Google Translate to decide what to eat. After deciding what I wanted, I asked for their help with my order. They laughed and said they’d already ordered for the whole table. Sharing is a big part of how food is consumed there. You don’t order for yourself; you all order as a group. Every meal feels like a family dinner. It’s a very warm experience that we all greatly appreciated. Getting along with others was one of the worrisome thoughts before my arrival although I was repeatedly told by my friends and family that I would make friends for life. It turned out my scepticism was severely misplaced. On the first day of classes, we all got to meet our Southwestern University of Finance and Economics (SWUFE) students who were there to help and guide us, and they all ended up meaning so much more to us. For two weeks, we honestly felt like a big family. Finally, I wanted to give some advice to any students considering this program. Try to get a SIM card so you are able to access mobile Internet. Learn the basics of the language. You’ll also probably find that you’ll pick up other words along the way. If you are part of the SWUFE program, bring lots of gifts. I didn’t think I would get as close to so many students as I did, so I didn’t pack enough gifts. Travelling can be a little scary but if you just stay calm, you will find that it’s really an enjoyable experience. 4. How did the author feel about the trip to Chengdu before departure? A. Excited. B. Curious. C. Confused. D. Anxious. 5. What about dining in China stands out as a unique experience for the author? A. The challenge of translating menus. B. The group dining practice of sharing C. The diverse range of food offerings. D. The experience of joining a friend’s family dinner. 6. What does the underlined word “skepticism” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Interest. B. Confidence. C. Doubt. D. Promise. 7. Why did the author consider himself ill-prepared? A. He forgot his SIM card. B. He didn’t bring enough gifts. C. He couldn’t grasp basic language skills. D. He failed to contact the instructor in advance. C Students attending schools that ban the use of phones throughout the school day aren’t necessarily experiencing better mental health and well-being, as the first worldwide study of its kind has found that just banning smartphones is not enough to tackle their negative impacts. In a landmark study published in The Lancet Regional Health—Europe,1,227 students from 30 schools across England provided data about smartphone and social media usage and a range of mental health, well-being and other outcomes. Among the schools that took part in the study,20 had various forms of restrictive phone policies in place. The study found that there was no difference in outcomes for students who attend schools that ban smartphones throughout the school day, including mental health, well-being, and other health and educational outcomes. Smartphone bans in schools did lead to a slight decrease in students using phones (approximately 40 minutes) and social media (approximately 30 minutes) in school, but the study suggests that the impact is small and that school policies banning recreational phone use didn’t lead to a meaningful reduction in the overall time spent using phones and social media. “We did find a link between more time spent on phones and social media and worse outcomes, with worse mental well-being and mental health outcomes, less physical activity and poorer sleep, lower educational attainment and a greater level of disruptive classroom behaviour,” said Dr Victoria Goodyear, associate professor at the University of Birmingham and lead author of the study. “This suggests that reducing this time spent on phones is an important focus. But we need to do more than focus on schools alone, and consider phone use within and outside of school, across a whole day and the whole week.” Professor Miranda Pallan from the University of Birmingham said, “Our study suggests that school policies are not the silver bullet for preventing the detrimental impacts of smartphone and social media use, but that addressing overall phone use should be a priority for improving health and well-being among adolescents.” 8. What did the study mainly focus on? A. Banning phones and mental health. B. Time on the phone and physical health. C. Social media and personal preferences. D. School discipline and playing phones. 9. How did smartphone bans affect students’ phone usage during school hours? A. A slight increase in use. B. No obvious effect. C. Remaining unchanged. D. Switching to after-school activities. 10. What does the study suggest about school policies on smartphone use? A. They are the only solution. B. They have no impact at all. C. They have solved the problem. D. They are not a cure for all. 11. In which section is the text most likely to appear in a newspaper? A. Public Health. B. Behaviour Psychology. C. Educational Policy. D. Science and Technology. D Dopamine (多巴胺), known as the “source of pleasure”, is a chemical that is released in the brain and provides people with a feeling of reward and motivation. Now, China’s young people are seeking to wear that joyfulness on their bodies, giving rise to the fashion craze — “dopamine dressing style”. Mainly characterized by bright colors, this dressing style is described by many Chinese netizens as “healing” and “a mood booster”. It is part-fashion, part-mindfulness. Dopamine dressing is nothing new. In fact, a study published in 2012 found that when participants were asked to wear clothing that held some symbolic meaning, their perceived (感知的) confidence increased. The study determined that clothing can have a direct impact on their psychological process. Another 2015 study found that the outfits we wear can directly influence how we think. It suggested that dressing in a certain way can influence the way we make decisions. “What we wear is how we show ourselves to those we interact with—we are influenced by their reaction to it. If we are well received, it builds up our confidence and can eventually affect our wellbeing.” one of the leading researchers, Mair added. Actually, dopamine dressing is different for everyone. It’s about wearing the clothes that make you feel good. It could be joggers and a sport shirt; it could be your favorite pair of jeans; or it could be that dress you were saving for a special occasion. In a word, it’s ok to wear anything that can boost your mood. Color psychologist Karen Haller said: “Color is a great way to lift our spirits and boost our moods in an instant. Our confidence can be boosted when we wear colors that we love and feel good in. We instinctively feel and behave differently when we take the colors in through our eyes and through the part of our brain where our emotions reside.” Ultimately, dopamine dressing is whatever makes you feel good. 12. What makes the dopamine dressing a real hit according to paragraph 1? A. Its featuring only bright colors. B. Its healing and boosting function. C. Its impacting on people’s confidence. D. Its allowing people to wear differently 13. What can we infer from the two studies mentioned in the passage? A. Dopamine dressing is simply a new concept of dressing. B. Dopamine dressing is beneficial to our mental health. C. Dopamine dressing has little to do with our decision making. D. Dopamine dressing can drive us to interact with more people. 14. Which of the following can be considered as dopamine dressing? A. All the students wear school uniform on Mondays. B. My father has to put on a heavy coat in cold weather. C. Jack often follows the trend to buy clothes in dark colors. D. The girl chooses her favorite skirt for her birthday party. 15. Why does the author write the article? A. To demonstrate a pleasant dressing style. B. To convince us to buy more fashionable clothes. C. To arouse our curiosity of the dopamine dressing. D. To promote more people to accept dopamine dressing. 第二节（共10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填入空白处所谓最佳选项。 In today’s society, learning is not just about passing exams; it’s more important for our personal growth. ____16____.

He was a strange sight. His half-buttoned white shirt revealed a red pajama top(睡衣上衣) underneath and instead of white school shoes, he had on a pair of bright green shoes that were two sizes too big. Bruce said quietly, “Sorry teacher”and walked to his seat. Mr. Tan looked at the rest of the students. The laughter quickly turned to silence. Bruce’s classmates always looked forward to Mondays. Nine times out often, they would be entertained by Bruce’s late arrival and his odd appearance which usually included inappropriate clothing. Bruce lived just a street away from the school. He walked to school daily. Students passing by in buses would shout his name together just to see him jump and stop in his tracks. When he spotted the merry bunch in the bus, he would wave good-naturedly. Although Bruce was likable, he was too lost in his own thoughts to make friends. His classmates found him amusing but they ignored him most of the time. Only Tom, who sat next to Bruce, tried to be his friend. The following Monday, Bruce did not turn up at school. His classmates were a little disappointed but quickly forgot about him. After school, Tom decided to walkover to Bruce’s house to check on him. As he approached the gate, he could hear violin music. Bruce must be listening to music, he thought. The gate was not locked. Tom let himself in. He called Bruce’s name a few times but there was no response. The music played on. Tom looked in through a window. His eyes widened in surprise. In the middle of the living room, Bruce was playing the violin. His eyes were closed in concentration as he drew the bow (琴弓) over the strings expertly. He played beautifully, so much so that it sounded like a recording. Tom left quietly. 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。 When Teachers’ Day came around, Tom had a plan. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Bruce started to play, the audience fell silent. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 潮安区宝山中学2025—2026年第二学期期中考高二教学质量检测卷 英语 本试卷共12页，听说20分，卷面120分，折算*/120*130 满分150分，完成时间120分钟。 一、听说考试（共两节；满分20分） 第一节 角色扮演（共8小题；每小题1分，满分8分） 情景介绍 角色：你是Tom, 任务：（1）与同学Mary谈论学英语讲座的话题； （2）根据谈话内容回答另一同学的提问。 下面请用英语提出三个问题。每个问题有20秒的准备时间。当你听见“滴”声时，开始提问。 Now please ask the speaker three questions.

Second, we should participate in outdoor activities and exercise for at least one hour every day. Finally, a balanced diet is of great importance.

Every class had to contribute an item. Tom convinced the class to let Bruce perform. Short of ideas, the class agreed. On the day of the concert, all the teachers and students were surprised to see the school’s most awkward student walking on stage with a violin. Some of the students started to talk about all the funny things Bruce did. When Bruce started to play, the audience fell silent. Their jaws dropped open. As the last note ended, there was a moment of silence. Then the audience responded with thunderous applause. Bruce became a popular icon and had many fans in his final year of school. Today, Bruce and Tom are still best friends. Bruce is on a scholarship pursuing music in Austria. Some days he still comes to class wearing an inside-out shirt or a pair of mismatched shoes. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
