My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project. I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family. Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out. After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, food, and hearts as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me. Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever. 4. What do we know about the author? A. He felt honored to study English literature. B. His dream at university was to become a volunteer. C. He took pride in having contributed to the world. D. His university education focused on theoretical knowledge. 5. How was the writer’s application process? A. Awkward. B. Complex. C. Entertaining. D. Effortless. 6. What did the writer do in the village? A. Working as a teacher. B. Helping villagers build hospitals. C. Raising money for his students. D. Inviting locals to enter his Project. 7. Which can be the best title of the text? A. Lighthouse Project—The Promise of African Education B. The Memorable and Rewarding life in Abuja C. A Life-changing Voluntary Experience D. Lighthouse Project—A Volunteer Organization for New Graduates C The Blackhawk Museum in Danville, California, offers a glimpse into the art, culture, and history of ancient China. The museum’s “Into China” gallery exhibits rare treasures from this East Asian country, which has a rich history. “The museum was designed to help visitors learn more about ancient Chinese history in a unique way,” said Joel Hodge, a program director at the museum. “Many of the items in the gallery can only be seen here or in China.” According to Hodge, about 200,000 to 250,000 people visit the museum each year. “Into China” visitors can see a replica (复制品) of the Forbidden City, an amazing complex located in Beijing, China’s capital. Replicas of the city’s buildings offer a bird’s eye view of the world of China’s emperors. A replica of the Dragon Throne, on which Emperors once sat high above the ground, serves as a reminder of hereditary (世袭的) power. The exhibition also introduces visitors to Confucius, one of the most celebrated philosophers in history. Confucius’ teachings further stressed kindness and morality. Visitors can learn how his beliefs helped shape the culture of ancient China. There’re other special treasures, and a porcelain room holds glass vases decorated with beautiful drawings of nature and animals. “The artworks in the gallery were created in the same way ancient Chinese craftsmen would make them,” Hodge noted. “That way, visitors can see how ancient pottery, instruments, and pieces of art were made.” Finally, replicas of China’s famous terracotta warriors are on exhibition. The original sculptures were unearthed in the 20th century. They had been buried with the first Chinese Emperor to protect him in the afterlife. “The terracotta soldiers are my favorite part of the exhibition,” said Greg Gregory, who was visiting the Blackhawk with his son. “It’s amazing to think that the ancient Chinese spent 40 years making them. Seeing the replicas really takes you back to the time when the people of ancient China looked at these soldiers as a symbol of protection.” 8. What is the purpose of the museum’s “Into China” gallery? A. To develop people’s interest in cultures. B. To attract a lot more visitors to China. C. To make Chinese ancient culture known. D. To draw wide attention to modern China. 9. What makes the artworks in the “Into China” gallery so special? A. Their special shapes. B. Their nice decoration. C. Their unique materials. D. Their producing method. 10. What did Greg Gregory talk about concerning the terracotta warriors? A. The greatness. B. The history. C. The application. D. The significance. 11. What might be the best title for the text? A. Learning about China from a gallery B. Researching the culture of ancient China C. Adding Chinese artworks to a museum D. Visiting an amazing museum in China 第二节：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。 (每空2.5分，共12.5分) Playing sports is a lot of fun. Getting hurt is not.____12____ Wear protective equipment.

At 16, however, life took a big turn. His parents found new jobs in Ohio, forcing the whole family to move there. This wasn’t an easy choice — it was tough to leave behind every familiar thing he cared about. Along with the move, a new school was waiting for Kenneth. Every time he thought about saying goodbye to his old school, a sense of sadness came over him. The changes ahead — like the new city, the new school, and the strangers he’d soon meet — filled him with fear. He had no idea if he’d be able to fit in, or if loneliness would find him once he got there. Following a long cross-country journey, the family finally arrived in Ohio and settled down. When the day came for him to start at his new school, Kenneth’s mind swarmed with worries. What if the other students were unfriendly — even cold? And what if he couldn’t make a single friend there? The next morning, Kenneth was driven to school by his parents. The car stopped at the big brick building, and his heart beat fast. He hugged his mom and dad, took a deep breath, and got out. He anxiously walked toward the school gate with every step. It felt like he was stepping into a new world. A friendly school secretary went to greet Kenneth when he entered. Noticing how nervous and shy he looked, she decided to start by showing him around the school yard. She led him past a modern computer lab, a science lab, and a gym with a basketball court — there, Kenneth imagined trying out for the school team. His mood lifted a little. Kenneth began to think the school was nice, and he started feeling a little better. Finally, they arrived at the teaching building and walked toward Kenneth’s new classroom, and Kenneth’s heart started to race again. The school secretary took him to the door with an encouraging smile. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With a deep breath, Kenneth entered the classroom. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the days went by, Kenneth realized his earlier worries were unnecessary._ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 九台师范高中2025-2026学年度高二第二学期期中考试 英语试卷 考生注意：本试题考试时间120分钟，满分150分。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

The Student Union 第二节 读后续写（满分25分） 【53题答案】 【答案】例文 With a deep breath, Kenneth entered the classroom. He noticed every pair of eyes turned to him — for a second, the room fell quiet, and he could feel his cheeks growing warm. He tried to calm down, knowing he needed to introduce himself. Even though his voice trembled, he struggled through a short explanation of who he was. When his introduction ended, the class burst into warm claps and cheers. Their happiness at his arrival was both a surprise and a relief for Kenneth. He became a bit less nervous, and started to think he might actually make friends here. As the days went by, Kenneth realized his earlier worries were unnecessary. The classes were interesting, and the teachers were always ready to help. During breaks, kind classmates crowded around him — they talked about what they loved, and had fun together. After school, some students asked him to play basketball in the school gym. Kenneth saw that change wasn’t always bad. It was scary at first, but it had brought him new experiences and friendships. He also learned something else: he was stronger than he thought, and he could get used to new situations. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
