Ready to find your perfect winter beach vacation spot? Here’s where Americans love heading when the temperatures drop. San Clemente, CA San Clemente is a winter bird hideaway thanks to its views, trails, and marine life. Winter is the prime time to spot migrating gray whales. It’s also a great time to avoid the high summer heat while exploring trails along the dramatic cliffs and wandering down the one-mile beach. RVers and campers are also welcome, as San Clemente has a highly rated campground right on the beach. The Golden Isles, GA Along with those moody beach days, visitors to the Golden Isles can also soak up unique celebrations and festivals during the cooler months. That includes a two-month-long treasure hunt on Jekyll Island, along with the Holly Jolly Jekyll light parade and the Brunswick Christmas Parade. If you like to travel with Fido, head to the Golden Isles — during fall and winter, dogs are allowed back on the beaches! Key West, FL Located right on the border with the tropics, Key West doesn’t necessarily slow down for winter. Still, you can find sunshine adventures across the Keys, from Higgs Beach to Bahia Honda State Park. While the water is definitely cooler, you can still dive underwater into a breathtaking coral (珊瑚) paradise and swim to play with the fish throughout the coldest winter months in many parts of the Keys. Perdido Key, FL Perdido Key is an unspoiled island that’s often labeled a hidden jewel on the Gulf Coast. It’s a protected island where you can spot sea turtles, shorebirds, and the Perdido Key beach mouse. If you want a more outdoorsy experience, you can take tours of Perdido Key State Park and even camp at the Perdido Key RV Resort & Marina. 1. What can visitors probably do in San Clemente, CA? A. Join a one-mile treasure hunt. B. Go snorkeling in cool water. C. Watch gray whales’ migration. D. Camp at a marine themed resort. 2. Which one is most suitable for divers? A. Key West, FL. B. The Golden Isles, GA. C. San Clemente, CA. D. Perdido Key, FL. 3. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To advocate protecting beaches. B. To compare different winter beaches. C. To introduce winter beach vacation spots. D. To recommend activities for beach lovers. B In the summer of 2019, I accompanied my 75-year-old partner Alex to a memory disorders clinic. After failing a series of mental tests, Alex was diagnosed with dementia (痴呆). The nurse advised Alex to sort out his finances and told me, “You’ll simply have to do more.” Indeed, my life became filled with endless care tasks — zipping Alex’s jacket, helping him shower, and making all decisions for him. When I tried to search a Medicaid program for help, I hit one difficulty after another. One program offered only one day of assistance per week. The other, which offered three days of help, insisted that Alex could never be outside alone, a condition I refused to accept. I can’t decide which one to pick. I emailed my physician friend Rachel for advice, and her response was this: “It sounds like you’re living in the land of bad choices.” Reading it, I felt as if my brain had been rearranged, to allow me to see the situation in a different way. Instead of chasing the “best” option, I only needed to pick the “least bad” one, which made decision-making easier. I picked the three day care program. But Alex soon fell seriously ill and couldn’t care for himself; he was sent to a recovery facility an hour away — this farther one with trained staff was the better bad choice. A COVID outbreak followed, infecting Alex; the facility couldn’t treat him, and I had only 15 minutes to decide whether to send him to the hospital. I chose quickly. I was with him when he died there the next afternoon. Three years later, when talking to those caring for dementia patients, I never tell them to “do more”. Instead, I pass on Rachel’s words. This shift in perspective, though simple, is truly helpful for anyone stuck in the land of bad choices. 4. What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean? A. More mental tests would be needed. B. Alex would need full attention. C. Further treatment would be refused to offer. D. Medicaid program should be sought. 5. What do we know about the Medicaid programs? A. They had trained staff. B. They had strict requirements. C. They were not fully satisfying. D. They provided sufficient help. 6. How did the author probably feel after reading Rachel’s email? A. Stressed. B. Relieved. C. Confused. D. Delighted. 7. What can we learn from this passage? A. Many hands make light work. B. The least bad may be the best. C. Every cloud has a silver lining. D. Out of the frying pan into the fire. C In the past decade Google searches for “solo travel” have more than doubled. In Britain the share of travellers going on holiday by themselves has nearly tripled, says the Association of British Travel Agents, from 6% in 2011 to 17% in 2024. Why are so many people travelling alone? Just as Grand Tours became a ceremony for young noblemen, solo travel today is less about finding distant places than finding yourself. Hilton, a hospitality company, calls the trend “me-mooning” which is opposed to “honeymooning”. Meanwhile, those not searching for themselves are looking for an adventure. People “travel not to go anywhere, but to go”, as Robert Louis Stevenson, the author of Treasure Island, put it. Solo travellers describe the thrill of doing whatever they want, whenever they want. Research has shown that self-driven solitude can boost creativity and well-being. And, rather than hanging out with the mates they have, many travel alone in order to meet new friends and lovers. The isolation of the pandemic made people “more open” to wandering with strangers, says Lee Thompson of Flash Pack, a tour operator. The firm, which uses the slogan “arrive solo, leave as friends”, now takes twice as many bookings as it did before Covid-19. Millennials and Gen Z are particularly keen on travelling: they spend a larger share of their income on trips than their older peers do. Many are postponing getting married and having children, so have the flexibility to head off on trip when they please. On TikTok influencers advocate the virtues of independent travelling: “Stop waiting for someone to join you.” Women, in particular, are welcoming that trend. By one estimate, 84% of solo travellers are female. A century ago women were warned not to travel without a male companion; today many say they are not afraid to travel unaccompanied. Women today have the competence, and the time, to follow their feet. 8. What does “me-mooning” refer to? A. Remote destination exploration. B. Group-focused adventures. C. Solo travel for self-discovery. D. Honeymoon for couples. 9. Why do some people travel alone according to Flash Pack? A. To boost their creativity and well-being. B. To form new friendships and relationships. C. To avoid the spread of pandemic. D. To escape from their daily routines. 10. What can we know about Millennial and Gen Z tourists? A. They have flexible time and bigger budget for trips. B. They are keen on travelling with mates. C. They prioritize marriage and family over travel. D. They behave like older generation. 11. What can we infer from last paragraph? A. Women are still unwilling to travel alone. B. Most females prefer travelling accompanied by men. C. Women face multiple challenges when travelling alone. D. Women are embracing solo travel despite historical restrictions. D China’s space technology team has made an important breakthrough in combining AI and space technology. The self developed geographic information platform MerakGIS, created by the Hangzhou Center of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, has built a new intelligent system for space-air information processing. This system has caught wide attention from experts and people in the industry since it was released last month. This platform creatively combines large language models with agent technology, shifting the traditional “human-computer interaction” mode to a more effective “human-machine cooperation” one. Users can simply input their questions or requirements, and the system intelligently explains complicated satellite pictures, combines diverse spatial (空间的) datasets, and does advanced studies. Now, users can complete satellite image interpretation, space data combining, and smart checking directly by using natural language instructions. This makes it much easier for non-experts to use. Even people with little technical training can use it easily and quickly. To improve independent innovation, the team has worked together with Zhejiang University and Zhejiang Laboratory on technical research and achievement transformation. They have spent nearly two years solving key problems and testing the system again and again. Their continuous efforts focused on solving the problems of data working well together and making the AI algorithms (算法) better. At present, MerakGIS has been successfully used in the new energy field, providing stable spatial data services and management support for more than 1, 000 solar power stations across the country. It has helped these stations improve their work efficiency by about 30%. This achievement combines high-precision “aerospace core” with intelligent “AI brain”, expanding the use of space-air information in strategic emerging industries and showing aerospace technology’s value in serving national economy and people’s livelihood. The team says they will keep improving MerakGIS and hope to apply it in more fields like agriculture and environmental protection in the future. 12. What is the primary purpose of creating MerakGIS? A. To develop new satellites. B. To promote AI technology. C. To attract worldwide experts. D. To process space-air information. 13. Which is an innovation of the platform? A. It relies on satellite image analysis. B. It cuts aerospace technology costs. C. It operates through natural language. D. It replaces human workers entirely. 14. What can be inferred about the platform’s development? A. It was finished within a month after being released. B. It relied mainly on overseas labs for core technology. C. It was tested once and applied immediately nationwide. D. It took joint work to improve integration and algorithms. 15. Which of the following best describes the future of MerakGIS? A. Uncertain. B. Profitable. C. Doubtful. D. Promising. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 Nowadays, many people turn to the Internet for medical advice when they notice signs of illness. This is understandable as seeing a doctor can be time-consuming and costly unless it’s a serious health concern. ___16___ Often, the answer is: not really. Medicine is complex. ___17___ For instance, the cause of a cough in a healthy 25-year-old might be different from that in a 65-year-old smoker. Yet, they might find the same search results. People may also not know the exact terms to search for. A search for “bloating (腹胀)” might suggest eating more slowly or avoiding dairy products, which can help if bloating is from too much air, but not so if it’s from fluid (液体) build-up. Only after seeing a doctor and undergoing a physical examination would it be identified as “ascites (腹腔积水)”. ___18___ Many articles are written intentionally to make money or promote specific agendas, not to give accurate advice. In fact, only a small part of the health information available online is created with the reader’s best interests in mind. Fortunately, a few strategies can help us find reliable medical information. First, check the author and website. ___19___ Government agencies are also trustworthy and offer regularly updated information. Besides, be careful if a website recommends a specific medication or procedure, especially if it has large ads for that treatment. ___20___ By following these tips, we can improve our chances of finding useful, accurate, and objective health information. A. So is this trend bound to continue? B. But is online medical advice actually reliable? C. These pages may be created by profit-driven companies. D. An even bigger issue is the rise of medical misinformation. E. Online articles often fail to consider each person’s unique situation. F. Unfortunately, it’s not always easy to figure out a website’s intentions. G. Reliable sources are usually written by doctors or hosted on trusted sites. 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，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In our small town, there is a tradition that neighbors help each other.

My sister Bethany, two years older than me, is always poking her nose into my business. “Nothing,” I replied. I didn’t tell her I was entering a writing competition in case I didn’t win. Bethany is always winning at her dancing competitions, Mum has lots of bowling trophies (奖杯), and Dad is the top player at his golf club. I started ballet lessons when I was younger, but I was always facing the wrong way and bumping into (撞) everyone. I’m even worse at sport. But I do love English at school, especially writing stories. Ms. Susan is my favorite teacher and she suggested I enter this competition. I felt a warm light when she said she thought my stories were excellent. “Is it your secret diary?” Bethany yawned, opening the fridge. Mum arrived, loaded with shopping bags. “Who’s keeping a secret diary?” “Nobody. I’m keeping a notebook as I want to be a writer,” I said, annoyed. Bethany snorted (哼), “Now she thinks she’s going to be the next Shakespeare.” “Our Maisie maybe will be a famous writer. All her teachers praise her composition,” Mum leapt to my defence. “Ms. Susan says I should write about what I know, so you’d better watch out,” I told Bethany darkly. Bethany took a bottle of milk from the fridge and bounded (跳跃着跑) upstairs and yelled, “I don’t want to be in your stupid story!” “Ignore her,” Mum said. “Keep going with your story.” Weeks passed, and the memory of the competition slowly faded beneath the busy rhythm of everyday life. Then one afternoon, as I was lazily scrolling through my e-mails, a notification (通知) from the competition organizers suddenly appeared. 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 read the e-mail 20 times before finally believing I succeeded. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I held my breath as Bethany read my story, worried about her response. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 广安加德学校2025—2026学年度下期高2024级期中考试试卷 英语 考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号等填写在答题卡指定位置上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将答题卡交回。试卷自行妥善保管，以备讲题之需。 第Ⅰ卷 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题15分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

We are often attracted by hosts’ enthusiastic promotions, vivid product demonstrations and tempting discounts, making impulse purchases a common occurrence. From my perspective, live-stream shopping is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it offers convenience, enabling us to buy various products at home and access detailed product information. On the other hand, teenagers are prone to overspending due to lack of self-control. Thus, we should keep a rational mind, resist the temptation of flash sales and spend money wisely. Possible version 2 Shopping in the Live Streaming Era Nowadays, live-stream shopping has deeply changed teenagers’ consumption behaviors. We are unwilling to do shopping alone; instead, we often watch live streams with friends, share favorite product links in group chats, and even make joint purchases for bigger discounts. This trend turns shopping into a social activity, making buying things more fun and strengthening bonds with peers. However, it also leads to more impulse buys, as we may follow friends’ choices without careful consideration. Thus, while enjoying the social fun of live-stream shopping, we should stick to our own needs and keep a rational attitude towards consumption. 第二节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】Possible version: I read the e-mail 20 times before finally believing I succeeded. A wave of exhilaration washed over me. Without a second thought, I rushed downstairs to share the incredible news with my family. My mother wrapped me in a tight embrace, her eyes glistening with tears, while my father instantly suggested celebrating at my favorite restaurant. I also called Ms. Susan to share the good news, who encouraged me, “Your work finally paid off.” Bethany, however, offered only a brief, flat “Congratulations”. Her lack of enthusiasm cast a shadow over my joy. I had been secretly longing for her approval more than anyone else’s. Holding the draft, I approached Bethany. “It’s about us,” my voice barely a whisper. “Would you like to read it?” I held my breath as Bethany read my story, worried about her response. The silence grew thick and every second stretched out. My heart pounded as I watched, searching for any hint in her eyes. Then came her voice, “This is... truly wonderful.
