B Podcasting (播客) has grown rapidly in recent years, gaining popularity among people who wish to make good use of their time while walking, working, or relaxing. Among its listeners is Leo, a 26-year-old librarian who once found his daily commute (通勤) extremely dull. He frequently killed time by watching meaningless short videos, which left him feeling even more tired and empty afterward. One day, a friend recommended a podcast featuring inspiring real-life stories. Leo was immediately drawn to it. Unlike short videos, podcasts require focused listening and enable listeners to picture scenes with their own imagination. This active mental participation felt refreshing to Leo. He soon formed a habit of listening for 30 minutes on each journey to and from his workplace, turning previously wasted hours into something meaningful. He soon made it a daily rule. At first, Leo worried that he would lose interest soon, as he had never been able to concentrate on long audio (音频) shows before. However, the stories were so attractive that he gradually began to look forward to his daily listening time. He explored a wide range of topics, including history, personal experiences, and popular science. As time went by, Leo became more focused at work and at home, and he gained fresh insights from what he listened to. Commuting no longer felt like a tiring burden; instead, he regarded it as a valuable chance for self-improvement. He even began taking brief notes to memorize useful knowledge, such as historical facts or practical life tips, which he later reviewed during breaks. Leo also shared his favorite podcasts with colleagues and friends. They started exchanging ideas and holding discussions about what they had learned, making his daily life more enriched and satisfying. “Podcasts transform wasted time into meaningful learning,” Leo commented. “It is incredible how much we can gain simply by listening with full attention.” For him, what once felt like dead hours have now become a journey of continuous learning and curiosity. 24. What can we infer about Leo from the first paragraph? A. He felt dissatisfied with his job. B. He was extremely tired of his lifestyle. C. He disliked communicating with others. D. He failed to manage his commute time wisely. 25. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 probably refer to? A. Listening to podcasts. B. Imagining inspiring things. C. Watching short videos. D. Recommending real stories. 26. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Trouble that Leo faced. B. Benefits that Leo received. C. Efforts that Leo made. D. Pressure that Leo suffered. 27. What message does the author convey? A. Break out of your shell. B. Change a habit, change your life. C. Think twice before you act. D. Master time, master your future. C As a librarian, I am hearing one question often: Do audiobooks (有声书) qualify as reading? Many people don’t think so. There is a pride — even a snobbishness — to being well read. Telling someone that you have only listened to a certain book usually comes out sounding like an apology. A recent survey found that 41 percent of adults don’t believe audiobooks qualify as reading. One friend of mine, who argues with his husband over this, once memorably told me that listening to a book felt like seeing a musical in New Jersey instead of on a Broadway stage. Close, but not the real thing. I used to feel the same way myself. Part of the disapproval comes from how we tend to think reading works. Reading with the eyes starts with decoding (解码), linking letters to sounds and meanings. But once those pathways are built, the brain draws on the same language network to make sense of words, whether they arrive through sight or sound. A 2019 study of The Journal of Neuroscience by researchers from the university of California found that the brains of people reading or listening to the same stories processed meaning in almost the same way. Focused listening lights up those networks and delivers the same comprehension just as print does. Especially for those with reading disabilities, it can improve comprehension and help them stay with the story. However, casual or distracted listening, like playing an audiobook while doing chores (杂务), doesn’t appear to engage those networks fully. In plenty of classrooms, students still track their progress in reading print pages and sending the messages that only print counts. However, teachers should give students credit for listening to books, too. Youngsters who read daily for enjoyment tend to develop stronger skills and score higher in school — on average, roughly the equivalent (等同物) of a year and a half ahead. They’re also more likely to keep reading for pleasure later in life. Pairing print and audio has shown to improve comprehension for some struggling readers, especially when decoding written text is a barrier. 28. What does the underlined word “snobbishness” in paragraph 1 probably refer to? A. The ignorance of audio reading. B. The prejudice against audio reading. C. The sense of superiority in print reading. D. The sense of achievement in reading well. 29. What can be inferred about two reading types from the text? A. The brain functions the same in both processes. B. Decoding the text plays a vital role in print reading. C. Distracted reading worsens reading disorder problem. D. Attentive audio reading benefits struggling readers more. 30. What message does the author convey in the last paragraph? A. Adding audio reading to print reading. B. Developing the habit of reading regularly. C. Evaluating students’ progress by print reading. D. Arousing students’ reading interests by audio reading. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why do We Need Audio Reading? B. Why is Print Reading More Beneficial? C. Reading is the Best Friend of Youngsters! D. Audio Reading Deserves Equal Attention! D Imagine a night sky where satellites, equipped with huge mirrors reflecting sunlight, shine like artificial moons. Reflect Orbital, a startup in Los Angeles, is awaiting regulatory approval to make that dream a reality, with plans to sell the light to illuminate (照亮) areas on Earth at night. These locations could include solar farms, industrial worksites, city streets, defense operations and even public events. The first test satellite would bear a 60-foot mirror, capable of lighting up a 3-mile-wide circle on Earth. Reflect Orbital plans 1,000 satellites by 2029 and 50,000 by 2035. An hour of light could cost a minimum of $5,000. “The sun powers 99% of life on Earth. But we can’t use it at night. So I’m really excited about the project,” said Ben Nowack, the founder of Reflect Orbital. Reflect Orbital’s proposal to deliver “a spot of sunlight on-demand” has raised significant public concerns. People worry the reflection could mess up astronomy, air travel, and Earth’s natural day-night cycles — and also that the light could shine beyond where it’s supposed to. Joanna Isa Saryawongse, a neurologist at the University of Pittsburgh, highlighted implications of Reflect Orbital’s proposal for human health. “Its similarity to daylight saving time (夏令时) is striking: both represent deliberate interventions that throw human biology off the natural light-dark cycle. Even a one-hour shift damages the heart, metabolism, and brain function,” she noted. Stanford professor Jamie Zeitzer who studies daylight saving time also said, “Insects and plants are very sensitive to extra light. Like today’s artificial light, it could also disturb animal migration.” Reflect Orbital’s website lists main safety measures baked into the design of the technology, emphasizing it can contain and quickly turn off the light, and avoid research observatories or protected habitats. The company also claims the light can’t start fires. “They’re missing a lot of details in the technology,” Nowack said of the company’s critics. “The satellites only light a specific area when a customer asks. They are normally off, not shining all night.” 32. What is the aim of Reflect Orbital? A. To provide reflected sunlight at night. B. To reduce the cost of satellite technology. C. To study the effects of light on ecosystems. D. To replace traditional street lighting globally. 33. What is a concern about Reflect Orbital’s project? A. It may increase energy consumption. B. It may limit the development of tourism. C. The light may extend beyond target areas. D. The light supply may fall short of demand. 34. Why does Joanna mention daylight saving time? A. To advocate efficient use of natural light. B. To illustrate the project’s working principle. C. To show the significance of human intervention. D. To stress the project’s impact on biological rhythms. 35. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The satellites usually stay inactive. B. The technology has been proven safe. C. The company ignores critics’ opinions. D. The project is well-received by customers. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Gag gifts (搞笑礼物) are usually inexpensive novelty items intended to get a laugh. They’re often casual buys when something funny instantly brings a friend or family member to mind. Most gag gifts are not very useful. 36 You don’t need a special event to give someone a gag gift. 37 The faces of politicians are often found on gag gifts, along with political jokes. Other common designs include cartoon characters, famous funny sayings, and slightly rude jokes. Children often like gag gifts that double as tricks. Some classic examples are an innocent-looking pillow and whoopee cushion. These items have all brought laughs for generations. When to give gag gifts? They can be given when a gift is expected but the recipient is only a nodding acquaintance (泛泛之交). For example, at an office party for an employee who is leaving, people may be expected to bring a small present even if they don’t know the person well. In this case, a coffee cup with a funny saying works well. 38 This adds joy to an otherwise ordinary drinking cup. When giving a gag gift, the giver should make sure the gag will not hurt the recipient’s feelings. 39 However, gags highlighting a person’s shortcomings are not a good idea. They may make the person feel uncomfortable. For example, a baldhead cap would be unkind for someone worried about losing his hair; but it could be funny for someone with very thick hair who often complains about it. Gifts given on a serious or public occasion should not be overly rude. 40 A. Being useful is often expected. B. But that is not their main purpose. C. Otherwise the recipient may feel offended. D. In this way, the gift appears to be more valuable. E. Gag gifts can be almost anything that is meant for fun. F. Gags related to someone’s special talents are often a big hit. G. When the gift is opened, it may bring a laugh from the crowd. 第三部分 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。 When I was growing up, my favorite movie was Disney’s Beauty and the Beast.

My father then 52 the bag and suggested we mix flour, water, and sugar to prepare a simple dough together. Our hands moved slowly, 53 small, uneven pieces while we laughed gently. In that humble space, surrounded by dancing light and shared effort, I felt a deep sense of peace and 54 richness. Since then, I have come to believe that beauty does not depend on what we 55 , but on how we choose to see and shape our ordinary lives. 41. A. story B. scene C. idea D. phase 42.

Imagine dining with family or friends. Everyone is talking freely, 56 (picture) moments of closeness and connection at a round table at the center. Such tables are common in Chinese restaurants, yet their history reflects a gradual cultural 57 (transform). Despite our familiarity 58 them, round tables were not widely used for dining until the Qing dynasty. Before that, in the Ming dynasty, people dined at square tables, seated according to social positions. By contrast, the rise of round tables reshaped social practices. Their round form is believed 59 (promote) equality, reducing distinctions among diners. This symbolic meaning, 60 (root) in philosophical ideas about harmony and social change, made the round table more than just a 61 (function) object. Practicality also contributed to their spread. Many round tables are easy to move, with 62 (part) that can be folded, allowing flexible use in homes, courtyards, and even outdoor spaces. Their widespread use, 63 is not only culturally significant but also closely tied to everyday needs, shows how a simple design works. The round table 64 (associate) with tuanyuan, meaning reunion and completeness, especially during festivals such as the Mid-Autumn Festival.

I remember standing at the door, unwilling to step in, while my mother gently placed her hand on my shoulder and pushed me forward. The chess pieces (象棋棋子) were not exciting as I had hoped; instead, they sat there, silent and demanding. I spent long afternoons memorizing openings, losing games, and staring at the board, unsure of what I had done wrong. Some days, I dragged my feet on the way to class, wondering why I had to keep going. “Why do you insist on this?” I finally asked one evening, frustration spilling out of me. My mother looked up from the book she was reading. A small smile rested on her face, the kind that never rushed to explain itself. She didn’t answer directly. Instead, she said quietly, “Playing chess determines who I am.” I wondered what a journey she had taken. She was not a person of many words, but there was something in the way she lived that made people listen when she did speak. She never hurried, even when time pressed. When problems came, she did not complain; she would sit with them, as if turning them over carefully, like pieces on a board. And when she made a decision, it carried a quiet certainty that rarely needed defending. I could not fully understand her sentence, but I could see its shadow in her life. Nearly a year later, I was signed up for my first competition. On the morning of the event, as she helped me straighten my collar, she said, “Remember, participation is competition, but more than competition.” I nodded, though the words felt distant, like something I was supposed to understand someday, but not yet. The competition hall was larger than I expected. Rows of tables stretched out under bright lights, each one holding a board that seemed suddenly more serious than the ones I had practiced on. When the game began, my hands could not move. I made moves too quickly, then hesitated, then tried to correct myself. My opponent (对手) remained calm, almost indifferent. 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。 I lost the game. _________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ That evening, my mother came into my room without asking the result. ____________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二（英语）学科素养阶段训练 参考答案与解析 第一部分 听力（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 1-5 BCBCA 6-10 CBCAB 11-15 CCABA 16-20 ABCAA 第二部分 阅读（共20小题；每小题2.5分，满分50分） 第一节 A篇 【答案】21.

I will try to stop it if I feel safe doing so. More importantly, I would report it immediately to a teacher or a trusted adult. School bullying can pose a serious threat to students’ physical and mental health, leaving victims anxious and helpless. Therefore, it is highly recommended that schools hold regular anti-bullying workshops. Equally important is that every student dares to speak up and supports those in need. Only when we stand together to say no to school bullying can we create a safe and harmonious campus free from bullying. 第二节（满分25分） One possible version: I lost the game. I dragged myself out of the competition hall, my cheeks burning with embarrassment and my eyes blurred by tears. All the long afternoons spent memorizing openings, practicing moves, and correcting mistakes felt useless. I walked slowly, kicking at the stones on the road, and even thought about quitting chess for good — I couldn’t bear the disappointment of failing after so much effort, nor could I face the thought of letting my mother down. That evening, my mother came into my room without asking the result. She sat quietly beside me, gently patting my back, and handed me a cup of warm milk. She said softly that losing was not a failure, but a chance to learn — to calm down, think carefully about my mistakes, and grow stronger. Her words slowly lifted my spirits. I finally understood her earlier words: chess is about perseverance, not just winning. I wiped my tears and decided to keep practicing, determined to do better next time. 听力录音原文 Text 1 挑选礼物 M: I’m looking for a present for my mom. She loves drinking tea, so I was thinking of a gift bag with some different flavors. W: Or you could get her a delicate teapot. My friend makes them. I can get you a good price. Text 2 忙着为会议做准备 W: You look pretty busy. What’s up? M: On Tuesday, I will be in Washington for a meeting with the administration officials. There’ll be about 100 people. And I am chairing the meeting. W: Good for you. Text 3 演出因天气原因取消 W: Will you go to watch the show tonight? M: I really want to, but I’ve just been told the performance for tonight has been canceled. W: Why? What’s happening? M: It’s an open-air theater. There are no shows in such weather, or the audience will get wet. Text 4 宜居小镇 M: This town is a healthy place to live in. There are many trees, and the air quality is good. I guess that’s because there isn’t a lot of industry. W: Yeah. But no industry means no jobs. It is difficult to find work around here. The town should bring in more businesses here. Text 5 一家土耳其餐厅 W: Harry, I’ve got a reservation at that new Turkish restaurant. I hear it’s reasonable in price. M: I hate to burst your bubble, Anna, but the dishes there are not very good. W: Maybe you just ordered the wrong dishes. M: Oh, I ordered almost everything they had. Text 6 放学回家晚了 W: Where have you been? M: Studying at my friend’s house. Why? W: I asked you to come straight home after school, remember? M: Oh dear! I totally forgot it! W: You’re supposed to look after your little sister while I go to my co-worker’s birthday party. I’m running late now. M: Oh, I’m so sorry. W: Why didn’t you answer the phone?

Text 7 全国拼写比赛 M: Congratulations on winning the national spelling contest, Hayley! W: Thanks, Tom. I thought it’d be scary at first, as the other students were brilliant, but I didn’t want to fall behind them! M: Great! Loads of the words were difficult, though. How on earth did you learn to spell them all? Just read them or write them on your notebooks? W: Well, I just got used to remembering them. My dad taught me different strategies, like using rhymes to remember unusual spellings. Actually, just seeing the words constantly really helped get them into my head. I had lots of them all stuck on the walls in my room. I always remember stuff that way. M: Wow! Wish that worked for me! Text 8 咨询旅行信息 W: You have a half-day tour, a full-day tour as well as a day and evening tour of London? M: That’s right. W: Well, since we’re only here for two days, I think we should take the day and evening tour. It will give my daughter and my son an opportunity to see more about the city. M: Won’t that be a bit tiring for them? W: Yes, you’re right. It’s probably better if we don’t take them to the evening part of the program. M: Not the theater and the dinner entertainment! The hotel will take care of them. I’m sure that can be arranged. W: That’s great. Now, can you tell me what the cost will be? M: For the full tour? £150 per head. W: So that would be £300 for myself and my husband. What about the children, is there any reduction for them? M: Certainly. We have half price for children. And if they’re not going to the theater or the dinner, I think we could let them have the full-day tour for £50 each. W: That’s fine. Thank you. Text 9 邀请参加生日派对 W: Hello, Johnny. Do you have any plans this Friday night? M: No. The new project really wears me out. I think I can let my hair down. Will you go to the press conference with our boss? W: No. Didn’t you get the news in the office? It is put off until next month. Well, I’m organizing a birthday party this weekend. It’s not very big — only a few of my best friends. I’d love to see you there. M: That’s so nice of you. Will you throw a party in a bar, like last year? W: No. It will be in my cousin’s house. She lives in a nice big house in the countryside. M: Wonderful! But will we stay overnight? It seems a little far. W: Yes. There is a lake near the house. We can go fishing or have a picnic the following day. We will return on Saturday afternoon. M: Oh, can I take the train to go there? W: It’s not convenient. You can take the No. 80 bus. Oh, it occurs to me that I’ve also invited Jeff in Sales Department. He lives not far from your house. Maybe you can get a ride from him. I’ll call him right now. M: That’s great! If so, we can drive and enjoy the scenery along the way. Thank you for your invitation. Text 10 志愿服务项目 W: Good morning, everyone. Now I’d like to tell you about our volunteer program. It is Big 5 Wildlife Experience. It aims to give volunteers a real-life experience of life on a game reserve. It is a life-changing experience that allows you to work behind the scenes on a world-class wildlife reserve in South Africa. The game reserve’s education center is home to a number of species of endangered predators. Do remember volunteers should keep a distance from these animals for safety concern. Working hours are generally quite fixed. The morning session is often more physically demanding, where temperatures are relatively cool, running from around 8:30 to 12:00. The afternoon session usually runs from 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm. The local team sometimes arranges evening reptile shows, lectures, and cross-cultural dance shows. So it is a busy yet highly rewarding and exciting program from start to finish. If you’re interested in having a truly African experience while making a difference to the local wildlife and environment; if you have a real passion for animals and the conservation of endangered species, then this is the program for you. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
