W: How surprised and delighted he would be to know that his artworks are now being shown like this! M: Yes. One thing I particularly love is that these paintings tell me what his life was like from when he was young until his death. 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 14.

Written by English musician Paul McCartney, the song was inspired by a dream he had of his mother, who sadly died when he was just fourteen. In the dream, she tried to make Paul feel better by saying everything would be okay, and just “let it be”. He woke up, wrote the song, and it went to number one in countries all over the world! Sit back, relax and listen with me to some of the best songs the world has ever produced. Over the next hour, we’ve got 1987’s “Bad” by Michael Jackson, “Universe” by the boy band Exo, and many more. But before all that, coming up after the break, we have something totally different… From the 2019 album Lover, which sold over a million copies in China, “Cruel Summer” is a song about pain and upset. Sung by Taylor Swift, the popular American singer, it’s one to make you think! Stay tuned — we’ll be back after the advertisements! 第二部分 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 As the spring approaches, there’s no better time to reset your body, mind, and spirit.

Guests are also given the opportunity to create their own self-guided programs.(为了提升这种非凡的体验，这里的每个庄园都配备了专门的团队，包括房屋经理、厨师、司机和女佣，为您的每一项需求提供量身定制的完美服务。客人也有机会创建自己的自主项目)”可知，Zihfit的三月项目提供个性化的服务。故选D项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中“4-Night Retreat”下的“Mi Casa one-bedroom villa: Single occupancy: $7,400 (Mi Casa一居室别墅：单人间：7400美元)”以及“All rate doesn’t include a 15% service charge.(所有价格均不包含15%的服务费)”可知，总费用为7400 + 7400×15% = 8510美元。故选A项。 B When I wrote my first book three years ago, the words came naturally. Eight weeks of even rhythm (节奏) and it was finished with ease. So when I sat down to write my second book, I expected the same effortless flow. Instead, I found myself staring at a blinking (闪烁的) typing line that seemed to flash with quiet accusation. I couldn’t begin. Day after day, I repeated the same routines: I set up the perfect workspace, blocked out hours for writing, and reread old pages that had once made me proud. None of it helped. For a while, I blamed myself, mistaking my procrastination (拖延) for laziness or lack of discipline. Still, the familiar motions kept me occupied while the work itself remained still. Eventually, exhaustion softened my stress, and I stopped pushing. What if the resistance was trying to tell me something? I opened my journal and started writing — not about the book, but about why I couldn’t write it. The truth that poured out was simple and childlike: What if this book isn’t as good as the first? What if readers decide a woman like me has already said everything she knows? Beneath the delay, I found fear — not of the work, but of judgment. Procrastination had become a safety net; staying still meant avoiding being seen and possibly found lacking. So I tried something different. I set a timer for five minutes and wrote whatever came. A sentence, half an idea, a small whisper of a scene. My hand moved first, and my mind followed. Piece by piece, those small beginnings grew into the book I had been afraid to start. By the time I finished, I saw procrastination differently. It was never merely delay. It was a quiet dialogue between the part of me that wants to try and the part that fears the fall. What I once called wasted time was, in truth, the stillness before courage — the quiet reward of writing. 24. Why did the author keep following the same routines? A. To look for creative inspiration. B. To overcome her procrastination. C. To gain a false sense of progress. D. To improve her writing technique. 25. What actually prevented the author from writing? A. Lack of new ideas. B. Pursuit of perfection. C. Desire for social fame. D. Concern over disapproval. 26. How did the author manage to restart her writing? A. By taking one step at a time. B. By focusing on small details. C. By reflecting on the outcome. D. By following a flexible schedule. 27. What message does the author seem to deliver in the last paragraph? A. Courage helps fight against fear. B. Stillness can be part of creativity. C. Procrastination is a waste of time. D. Writers should avoid taking breaks. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在写第二本书时遇到拖延问题，最终克服并重新认识拖延的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“For a while, I blamed myself, mistaking my procrastination (拖延) for laziness or lack of discipline. Still, the familiar motions kept me occupied while the work itself remained still.(有一段时间，我责怪自己，把拖延误认为是懒惰或缺乏纪律。尽管如此，熟悉的动作让我忙碌起来，而工作本身却依然停滞不前)”可知，作者不断重复相同的日常是为了获得一种虚假的进步感，让自己忙碌起来。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Beneath the delay, I found fear — not of the work, but of judgment. Procrastination had become a safety net; staying still meant avoiding being seen and possibly found lacking.(在拖延的背后，我发现了恐惧——不是对工作的恐惧，而是对评判的恐惧。拖延已经成为一个安全网；静止不动意味着避免被看到，并可能被发现有所欠缺)”可知，实际上阻止作者写作的是对不被认可的担忧。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“I set a timer for five minutes and wrote whatever came. A sentence, half an idea, a small whisper of a scene. My hand moved first, and my mind followed. Piece by piece, those small beginnings grew into the book I had been afraid to start.(我设定了一个五分钟的计时器，写下任何想到的东西。一个句子，半个想法，一个场景的轻声细语。我的手先动了，我的思想也跟着动了。一块一块地，这些小小的开始逐渐变成了我害怕开始的那本书)”可知，作者通过一次迈出一步（设定五分钟计时器，写下任何想到的东西）的方式重新开始了写作。故选A。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“What I once called wasted time was, in truth, the stillness before courage — the quiet reward of writing.(我曾经称之为浪费时间的东西，实际上是勇气之前的宁静——写作的安静回报)”可知，作者在最后一段似乎要传达的信息是：静止可以是创造力的一部分。故选B。 C Standing in Nevada’s dry landscape, Project Red uses new methods to capture geothermal (地热) energy. Unlike old plants that need natural hot water storage areas near volcanoes, this facility uses Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) to get heat from solid rock. Workers start by drilling two wells over 8,000 feet deep into rock hot enough to roast a turkey. Through the first well, high-pressure water is pumped down, breaking the rock to create paths. A key procedure involves drilling another 3,250-foot horizontal well (水平井) to expand the area of hot rock that the system contacts — a technique used in oil and gas industry in order to maximize yield and production. Water moves through these man-made cracks for 24-48 hours, gathering heat until temperatures exceed 380°F. As heated water rises through the second well, pressure changes near the surface turn about 20% into steam. This steam powers machines connected to generators (发电机), creating clean electricity. Then the steam cools and condenses (凝结) back into hot water, which is used to heat a different kind of liquid with a much lower boiling point, such as butane (丁烷), to drive a second generator before it is transported back to the system. This progress eliminate (根除了) geothermal old obstacle of needing volcanic zones. Traditional plants (电厂) simply collect steam from natural hot springs, while EGS establishes water storage in unreachable ground. Another feature of the system is that they can be made more profitable by taking advantage of energy price shifts. Operators could plug the exit wells (封堵出口井), causing water to accumulate inside the system, building up pressure and heat. Then the energy could be extracted (提取) during times when it is most valuable — such as during cloudy or windless periods when solar or wind aren’t working. Some oil and gas companies, recognizing that the energy landscape (形势) is changing, are increasingly interested in building geothermal systems. There’s even a growing expansion to use direct geothermal heat to warm buildings, either through shallow heat pumps for residential buildings or integrated systems designed for entire districts — as Paris and Munich already do. 28. What is the main purpose of creating the second well? A. To speed up rock breaking. B. To regulate the pressure inside the wells. C. To reduce drilling difficulty. D. To improve the efficiency of heat transfer. 29. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 2? A. Butane. B. Hot water. C. Electricity. D. Steam. 30. What can we infer from paragraph 3? A. Geothermal energy is a stable power source. B. Traditional plants will be replaced by EGS. C. EGS depends on specific ground types. D. EGS is more advanced than solar and wind. 31. What key development is mentioned in the last paragraph? A. Geothermal energy changing the landscape. B. Traditional energy will be replaced. C. Geothermal energy expanding applications. D. Energy companies abandoning fossil fuel. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲的是内华达州的“红色计划”项目利用增强型地热系统（EGS）从干热岩中提取地热能，通过钻井、注水、循环等技术手段发电，并介绍了该技术的优势和应用前景。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“A key procedure involves drilling another 3,250-foot horizontal well (水平井) to expand the area of hot rock that the system contacts — a technique used in oil and gas industry in order to maximize yield and production.(其中一道关键工序是再钻一口3250英尺的水平井，以此扩大系统接触热岩的面积，这是油气行业里用来实现产量最大化的技术。)”可知，钻第二口水平井是为了扩大系统接触的热岩面积，从而最大化产量，即提高热传递效率。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Then the steam cools and condenses (凝结) back into hot water, which is used to heat a different kind of liquid with a much lower boiling point, such as butane (丁烷), to drive a second generator before it is transported back to the system.(随后蒸汽冷却并重新凝结成热水，这些热水用来加热另一种沸点低得多的液体（例如丁烷），以此驱动第二台发电机，之后it再被输送回系统中。)”可知，结合动作逻辑，被输送回系统的主体是前文提到的热水，因此it指代热水。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Operators could plug the exit wells (封堵出口井), causing water to accumulate inside the system, building up pressure and heat. Then the energy could be extracted (提取) during times when it is most valuable — such as during cloudy or windless periods when solar or wind aren’t working.(操作人员可以封堵出口井，让水在系统内聚集并积蓄压力与热量，待到电价最高时再提取能量，比如阴天、无风导致太阳能和风能无法使用的时段。)”可知，地热能不受天气条件制约，能够持续稳定供能，是一种稳定的能源。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“There’s even a growing expansion to use direct geothermal heat to warm buildings, either through shallow heat pumps for residential buildings or integrated systems designed for entire districts — as Paris and Munich already do.(如今利用直接地热能为建筑供暖的应用规模还在不断扩大，民用建筑可采用浅层热泵，整片区域则可使用配套一体化系统，巴黎和慕尼黑早已采用这类方式。)”可知，最后一段提到了地热能应用范围的扩展，即直接用于建筑物供暖。 D Australia’s tropical forests have become the world’s first to emit (排放) more carbon into the atmosphere than they are taking in, as a new study report in Nature. This switch is an alarm bell for the planet’s tropical forests, sounding as global leaders prepare for the COP30 meeting in the Amazon rainforest to address the crisis of global climate change. The long-term analysis of Australia’s rainforests from 1971 to 2019 revealed that the forests’ woody biomass — its hard branches and trunks — has been shrinking since around the year 2000. Rising temperatures, droughts and tropical cyclones (气旋) driven by human activities have dramatically increased tree death rate, releasing stored carbon back into the atmosphere. Surprisingly, the extra atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) didn’t boost plant growth as climate models predicted, likely due to limited availability of nutrients plants need like phosphorus (磷) and other basic ones — a factor that must be considered in estimating the fate of forests. The Amazon rainforest, which spans an area nearly as large as the continental United States and is currently shouldering a quarter of land-based carbon dioxide annually, is also at risk. It suffered its worst drought in 2024, with deforestation reaching 17 percent. Scientists have warned it could face widespread dieback by 2035 under the pressure of climate change, deforestation and extreme weather like storms. Other tropical forests face similar threats. Africa’s Congo Basin forests, once relatively stable, have shown increased tree death rate since 2010. Southeast Asia’s forests are endangered by the development of urbanization and agriculture. A report made by the U.N. Environment Programme (UNEP) notes that about 291 million of the world’s 1.6 billion hectares of tropical forest are delicate, easily erased off from the green block forever. Protecting these forests will require global financial investments to triple to $ 300 billion by 2030, yet global efforts for the protection are falling short of the intended commitments. “Tropical forests are huge carbon reservoirs and we must cherish the forest carbon stocks already built up over centuries.” says the programme manager Wannes Hubau in the report. “Losing them would be like setting off a carbon bomb, worsening climate change.” 32. What happened to the Australia’s tropical forests? A. They were expanding rapidly. B. They became a carbon-friendly place. C. Their woody biomass was on increase. D. They were turning into carbon emitters. 33. What might limit Australia’s forest growth with more CO2? A. Long-term data analysis. B. Limited basic nutrients. C. Storage of carbon in trunks. D. Climate model expectations. 34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Tropical forests will die back by 2035. B. Farming destroys forests in tropical regions. C. Tropical forests face growing global threats. D. Droughts cause most rainforest loss worldwide. 35. What can we learn from the UNEP report? A. Few tropical forests is at high risk. B. Tropical Forest conservation lacks funds. C. The death rate of tropical forests is declining. D. Africa’s forests have the highest tree death rate. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】文章从澳大利亚热带雨林碳排放量超过碳吸收量入手，讲述了热带雨林面临的危机，并警告这可能会对气候造成的后果。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Australia’s tropical forests have become the world’s first to emit (排放) more carbon into the atmosphere than they are taking in, as a new study report in Nature.(《自然》杂志的一项新研究报告称，澳大利亚的热带森林已成为世界上第一个向大气排放碳量超过其吸收量的森林。)”可知，澳大利亚热带森林转变成了碳排放者。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Surprisingly, the extra atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) didn’t boost plant growth as climate models predicted, likely due to limited availability of nutrients plants need like phosphorus (磷) and other basic ones — a factor that must be considered in estimating the fate of forests.(额外的大气二氧化碳并没有像气候模型预测的那样促进植物生长，这可能是由于植物所需的磷和其他基础养分的供应有限——在估计森林的命运时必须考虑这一因素。)”可知，限制澳大利亚森林生长的因素是基础养分的有限性。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“The Amazon rainforest, which spans an area nearly as large as the continental United States and is currently shouldering a quarter of land-based carbon dioxide annually, is also at risk.(亚马逊雨林的面积几乎与美国大陆一样大，目前每年担负着四分之一的陆地二氧化碳，也面临着风险。)”和“Other tropical forests face similar threats.(其他热带森林也面临着类似的威胁。)”可知，该段主要阐述了全球各地的热带森林都面临着日益增长的威胁。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Protecting these forests will require global financial investments to triple to $ 300 billion by 2030, yet global efforts for the protection are falling short of the intended commitments.(保护这些森林需要全球资金投入在2030年前增加两倍达到3000亿美元，然而全球的保护努力未能达到预期的承诺)”可知，保护热带森林需要3000亿美元，但并没有付出预期的努力，由此可推测，热带森林的保护工作目前资金不足。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) There’s nothing like fresh-cut flowers to brighten up your space. But even if you have somewhat of a green thumb, those blooms are on borrowed time. ___36___ Here are some practical tips from Sarah Wiles, a professional florist with years of experience. Snip the bottom of the stems. Cutting the bottom of flower stems on an angle is a traditional and effective technique. “An angle is best,” says Wiles. “It creates a larger surface area to draw up water and prevents the stem from sitting flat against the bottom of the vase.” ___37___ What matters most is keeping the vase clean and water fresh. ___38___ It’s vital to change out the water before it gets cloudy. Every day would be best. “Some flowers, like sunflowers, promote more bacteria growth, so they need more frequent changes,” says Wiles. When doing so, remember to also add more flower food to the fresh water to maintain nutrient levels. Keep the environment clean and tidy. ___39___ “As flowers die, they produce more bacteria and ethylene gas, which makes the other flowers wilt faster,” Wiles noted. Removing them as soon as possible helps the rest last longer. Keep the vase out of the sunlight. A vase is not a garden of living flowers; it’s a container of dying ones, so they don’t need direct sun. In fact, that’s a bad thing. “Direct sunlight increases the temperature and reduces vase life. The warmth accelerates the flowers’ breath and water loss, essentially making them ‘age’ faster,” Wiles says. ___40___ By following these simple steps, you can slow down the clock and enjoy the natural beauty of your blooms for as long as possible. A. Why does this supposedly work? B. Refresh water and flower food regularly. C. What will actually make your flowers last longer? D. Buy more flower mix to add back into fresh water. E. A cooler, darker room will keep flowers fresh longer. F. While it turns out that’s a good thing, don’t worry if you cut them straight. G. You can do this for artistic factors, but there’s an even better reason to do it. 【答案】36. C 37. F 38. B 39. G 40. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了让花保持更长久的盛开状态的实用建议。 【36题详解】 前文“But even if you have somewhat of a green thumb, those blooms are on borrowed time.(但即便你颇有园艺天赋，那些花朵的盛开也都是昙花一现)”提到鲜花即使被悉心照料也“生命短暂”，后文“Here are some practical tips from Sarah Wiles, a professional florist with years of experience.(以下是Sarah Wiles提供的实用建议，她是一位拥有多年从业经验的专业花艺师)”引出Sarah Wiles提供的“实用建议”。C项“究竟怎样做才能让你的花保持更长久的盛开状态呢？”起到了承上启下的作用，自然地过渡到具体方法。故选C。 【37题详解】 前文““An angle is best,” says Wiles. “It creates a larger surface area to draw up water and prevents the stem from sitting flat against the bottom of the vase.”(“采用斜口设计会更好，” Wiles说道，“这样能增加茎部的吸水面积，便于吸水，并且还能防止花茎直接平贴在花瓶底部。”)”建议“斜着切”，F选项“虽然事实证明这是一件好事，但如果你平直地把它们切开也没关系”开头提到“虽然这确实有好处”，顺接上文理由；后文又提到“即使你切直了也没关系”，引出下文“What matters most is keeping the vase clean and water fresh.(最重要的是要保持花瓶干净，水也要保持新鲜)”观点：最重要的是水质和清洁。故选F。 【38题详解】 下文“It’s vital to change out the water before it gets cloudy. Every day would be best. “Some flowers, like sunflowers, promote more bacteria growth, so they need more frequent changes,” says Wiles. When doing so, remember to also add more flower food to the fresh water to maintain nutrient levels.(在水变浑浊之前必须更换水。每天更换一次最佳。Wiles说：“有些花，比如向日葵，会促进细菌的大量繁殖，所以需要更频繁地更换水。” 在更换时，请记得也要向新水中添加更多的花卉营养液，以保持营养水平)”详细说明了“在水变浑浊前换水”以及“加入花卉养料”。B选项“定期更新水分和花卉养料”完美概括了本段核心内容。故选B。 【39题详解】 本段建议“Keep the environment clean and tidy.(保持环境干净整洁)”，下文““As flowers die, they produce more bacteria and ethylene gas, which makes the other flowers wilt faster,” Wiles noted. Removing them as soon as possible helps the rest last longer.(“当花朵凋谢时，它们会产生更多的细菌和乙烯气体，这会导致其他花朵更快地凋谢。”Wiles说道。尽快移除它们有助于让其余部分保持更长时间的完好状态)”提到要移走枯萎的花朵。G选项提到“你可以出于审美因素这样做，但还有一个更好的理由”，后文随即解释了科学层面的理由：枯萎的花会产生细菌和乙烯气体。故选G。 【40题详解】 本段主题是“Keep the vase out of the sunlight.(将花瓶放置在远离阳光的地方)”，前文“Direct sunlight increases the temperature and reduces vase life. The warmth accelerates the flowers’ breath and water loss, essentially making them ‘age’ faster(直射阳光会使温度升高，并缩短花瓶中的花朵存活时间。这种温暖会加速花朵的呼吸作用和水分蒸发，从而实质上使花朵老化得更快)”解释了高温会加速凋谢。E选项“凉爽、阴暗的房间能让鲜花保鲜更久”是对前文“避光、降温”逻辑的总结与延伸，符合段落主旨。故选E。 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) Every dream lost in the dark longs for a ray of light — and for Lily, that light came from a stranger.

Her mother, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, ran a small clinic in their town. The air inside was always filled with the earthy smell of dried herbs. Her mother had long hoped Li Wei would take over the family business. “A career in medicine is a good choice, and it connects us to our roots,” her mother often said, pointing to the old books lining on the shelves. But Li Wei’ s heart belonged to classical dance. She spent hours practicing in secret, and her room was full of posters of international dance groups. One evening, while helping her mother prepare herbs, Li Wei accidentally knocked over a jar of ginseng (人参). As she hurried to clean up, her mother’s voice cut through the silence, “You’ re too distracted. This is why you can’t focus on your studies— and the clinic.” Li Wei’ s cheeks turned red. “I don’ t want to be a doctor!” she shouted. “I want to dance!” Before her mother could answer, Li Wei grabbed her bag and ran out, leaving the clinic door moving. Weeks passed, and the tension between them reached boiling point. Li Wei avoided the clinic, spending long hours at dance practices even though her knees had become swollen and red. When she did come home, the house was full of cold silence, broken only by the occasional noise of her mother’s tool grinding (研磨) herbs. But Li Wei couldn’t miss the way her mother’s eyes looked at her dance shoes, or the soft sighs that came from her during their rare talks. She was eager for her mother’s support. Then came a big chance: a national dance competition. Li Wei’ s hands shook as she filled out the application form, her heart beating fast. But when she looked at the bottom of the page, she felt scared. The form needed a parent’s signature, a sad reminder of the gap between her and her mother. 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。 That evening, Li Wei arrived at the clinic, with the application form in hand. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Before stepping onto stage, Li Wei held her mother’s lucky sachet (香囊) in her pocket. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】【参考范文】 That evening, Li Wei arrived at the clinic, with the application form in hand. Her mother was carefully weighing dried herbs at the counter. With a deep breath, Li Wei placed the form in front of her, ready to brace herself for the refusal she had long expected. Her mother wiped her hands on her apron and picked up the paper. After a moment of careful reading, she signed her name without a word. Then, she reached under the counter, took out a small sachet, and placed it gently in Li Wei’ s hand. “Keep this with you,” she said softly. “It will help you stay calm.” A sense of warmth welled up in Li Wei’ s heart, resolving to do her utmost in the competition. Before stepping onto stage, Li Wei held her mother’s lucky sachet (香囊) in her pocket. It was her first time competing on such a major stage. Great panic almost made her forget how to dance. Just then her mother appeared quietly beside her, “The clinic is my path, but this stage is your journey.” Her words lingered in the air like a blessing. Li Wei breathed in the sachet’ s calming scent, felt her fear loosen, and gave her mother’ s hand a grateful squeeze. Stepping into the lights, Li Wei danced — and in her movement, two separate dreams converged into a moment of perfect understanding. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了高中生李伟在母亲期望她继承中医诊所和自己热爱古典舞蹈的梦想间纠结，与母亲爆发争吵后关系紧张，后来她得到全国舞蹈大赛的机会，却需要父母签名才能报名的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上，李伟手里拿着申请表，来到了诊所。”可知，第一段可描写李伟将申请表递给母亲，做好被拒绝的准备，母亲却默默签名，还送给她一个安神的香囊，李伟心中涌起暖意，决心全力以赴比赛。 ②由第二段首句内容“上台前，李伟把母亲的幸运香囊揣在了口袋里。”可知，第二段可描写李伟登上大舞台感到紧张，母亲前来鼓励她尊重彼此的人生道路，李伟闻着香囊的气息平复心情，在舞蹈中融合了两种不同的梦想，实现了母女间的理解。 2. 续写线索：持表赴诊所——母亲签字赠香囊——李伟决心全力以赴——赛前紧张忘舞步——母亲现身鼓励——闻香囊定神——起舞融合梦想 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①放置：place/lay/put ②下决定：resolve/decide/determine ③融合：converge/combine/integrate 情绪类 ①紧张：panic/nervousness ②感激：grateful/thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1] A sense of warmth welled up in Li Wei’s heart, resolving to do her utmost in the competition.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2] Great panic almost made her forget how to dance.（运用了“疑问词+不定式”结构作宾语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年度下学期期中考试 高二英语试题 本试卷共分四部分，共67题，满分150分，共7页。考试时间为120分钟。考试结束后，只交答题卡。 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） 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does the woman want to do?

B When I wrote my first book three years ago, the words came naturally. Eight weeks of even rhythm (节奏) and it was finished with ease. So when I sat down to write my second book, I expected the same effortless flow. Instead, I found myself staring at a blinking (闪烁的) typing line that seemed to flash with quiet accusation. I couldn’t begin. Day after day, I repeated the same routines: I set up the perfect workspace, blocked out hours for writing, and reread old pages that had once made me proud. None of it helped. For a while, I blamed myself, mistaking my procrastination (拖延) for laziness or lack of discipline. Still, the familiar motions kept me occupied while the work itself remained still. Eventually, exhaustion softened my stress, and I stopped pushing. What if the resistance was trying to tell me something? I opened my journal and started writing — not about the book, but about why I couldn’t write it. The truth that poured out was simple and childlike: What if this book isn’t as good as the first? What if readers decide a woman like me has already said everything she knows? Beneath the delay, I found fear — not of the work, but of judgment. Procrastination had become a safety net; staying still meant avoiding being seen and possibly found lacking. So I tried something different. I set a timer for five minutes and wrote whatever came. A sentence, half an idea, a small whisper of a scene. My hand moved first, and my mind followed. Piece by piece, those small beginnings grew into the book I had been afraid to start. By the time I finished, I saw procrastination differently. It was never merely delay. It was a quiet dialogue between the part of me that wants to try and the part that fears the fall. What I once called wasted time was, in truth, the stillness before courage — the quiet reward of writing. 24. Why did the author keep following the same routines? A. To look for creative inspiration. B. To overcome her procrastination. C. To gain a false sense of progress. D. To improve her writing technique. 25. What actually prevented the author from writing? A. Lack of new ideas. B. Pursuit of perfection. C. Desire for social fame. D. Concern over disapproval. 26. How did the author manage to restart her writing? A. By taking one step at a time. B. By focusing on small details. C. By reflecting on the outcome. D. By following a flexible schedule. 27. What message does the author seem to deliver in the last paragraph? A. Courage helps fight against fear. B. Stillness can be part of creativity. C. Procrastination is a waste of time. D. Writers should avoid taking breaks. C Standing in Nevada’s dry landscape, Project Red uses new methods to capture geothermal (地热) energy. Unlike old plants that need natural hot water storage areas near volcanoes, this facility uses Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) to get heat from solid rock. Workers start by drilling two wells over 8,000 feet deep into rock hot enough to roast a turkey. Through the first well, high-pressure water is pumped down, breaking the rock to create paths. A key procedure involves drilling another 3,250-foot horizontal well (水平井) to expand the area of hot rock that the system contacts — a technique used in oil and gas industry in order to maximize yield and production. Water moves through these man-made cracks for 24-48 hours, gathering heat until temperatures exceed 380°F. As heated water rises through the second well, pressure changes near the surface turn about 20% into steam. This steam powers machines connected to generators (发电机), creating clean electricity. Then the steam cools and condenses (凝结) back into hot water, which is used to heat a different kind of liquid with a much lower boiling point, such as butane (丁烷), to drive a second generator before it is transported back to the system. This progress eliminate (根除了) geothermal old obstacle of needing volcanic zones. Traditional plants (电厂) simply collect steam from natural hot springs, while EGS establishes water storage in unreachable ground. Another feature of the system is that they can be made more profitable by taking advantage of energy price shifts. Operators could plug the exit wells (封堵出口井), causing water to accumulate inside the system, building up pressure and heat. Then the energy could be extracted (提取) during times when it is most valuable — such as during cloudy or windless periods when solar or wind aren’t working. Some oil and gas companies, recognizing that the energy landscape (形势) is changing, are increasingly interested in building geothermal systems. There’s even a growing expansion to use direct geothermal heat to warm buildings, either through shallow heat pumps for residential buildings or integrated systems designed for entire districts — as Paris and Munich already do. 28. What is the main purpose of creating the second well? A. To speed up rock breaking. B. To regulate the pressure inside the wells. C. To reduce drilling difficulty. D. To improve the efficiency of heat transfer. 29. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 2? A. Butane. B. Hot water. C. Electricity. D. Steam. 30. What can we infer from paragraph 3? A. Geothermal energy is a stable power source. B. Traditional plants will be replaced by EGS. C. EGS depends on specific ground types. D. EGS is more advanced than solar and wind. 31. What key development is mentioned in the last paragraph? A. Geothermal energy changing the landscape. B. Traditional energy will be replaced. C. Geothermal energy expanding applications. D. Energy companies abandoning fossil fuel. D Australia’s tropical forests have become the world’s first to emit (排放) more carbon into the atmosphere than they are taking in, as a new study report in Nature. This switch is an alarm bell for the planet’s tropical forests, sounding as global leaders prepare for the COP30 meeting in the Amazon rainforest to address the crisis of global climate change. The long-term analysis of Australia’s rainforests from 1971 to 2019 revealed that the forests’ woody biomass — its hard branches and trunks — has been shrinking since around the year 2000. Rising temperatures, droughts and tropical cyclones (气旋) driven by human activities have dramatically increased tree death rate, releasing stored carbon back into the atmosphere. Surprisingly, the extra atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) didn’t boost plant growth as climate models predicted, likely due to limited availability of nutrients plants need like phosphorus (磷) and other basic ones — a factor that must be considered in estimating the fate of forests. The Amazon rainforest, which spans an area nearly as large as the continental United States and is currently shouldering a quarter of land-based carbon dioxide annually, is also at risk. It suffered its worst drought in 2024, with deforestation reaching 17 percent. Scientists have warned it could face widespread dieback by 2035 under the pressure of climate change, deforestation and extreme weather like storms. Other tropical forests face similar threats. Africa’s Congo Basin forests, once relatively stable, have shown increased tree death rate since 2010. Southeast Asia’s forests are endangered by the development of urbanization and agriculture. A report made by the U.N. Environment Programme (UNEP) notes that about 291 million of the world’s 1.6 billion hectares of tropical forest are delicate, easily erased off from the green block forever. Protecting these forests will require global financial investments to triple to $ 300 billion by 2030, yet global efforts for the protection are falling short of the intended commitments. “Tropical forests are huge carbon reservoirs and we must cherish the forest carbon stocks already built up over centuries.” says the programme manager Wannes Hubau in the report. “Losing them would be like setting off a carbon bomb, worsening climate change.” 32. What happened to the Australia’s tropical forests? A. They were expanding rapidly. B. They became a carbon-friendly place. C. Their woody biomass was on increase. D. They were turning into carbon emitters. 33. What might limit Australia’s forest growth with more CO2? A. Long-term data analysis. B. Limited basic nutrients. C. Storage of carbon in trunks. D. Climate model expectations. 34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Tropical forests will die back by 2035. B. Farming destroys forests in tropical regions. C. Tropical forests face growing global threats. D. Droughts cause most rainforest loss worldwide. 35. What can we learn from the UNEP report? A. Few tropical forests is at high risk. B. Tropical Forest conservation lacks funds. C. The death rate of tropical forests is declining. D. Africa’s forests have the highest tree death rate. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) There’s nothing like fresh-cut flowers to brighten up your space. But even if you have somewhat of a green thumb, those blooms are on borrowed time. ___36___ Here are some practical tips from Sarah Wiles, a professional florist with years of experience. Snip the bottom of the stems. Cutting the bottom of flower stems on an angle is a traditional and effective technique. “An angle is best,” says Wiles. “It creates a larger surface area to draw up water and prevents the stem from sitting flat against the bottom of the vase.” ___37___ What matters most is keeping the vase clean and water fresh. ___38___ It’s vital to change out the water before it gets cloudy. Every day would be best. “Some flowers, like sunflowers, promote more bacteria growth, so they need more frequent changes,” says Wiles. When doing so, remember to also add more flower food to the fresh water to maintain nutrient levels. Keep the environment clean and tidy. ___39___ “As flowers die, they produce more bacteria and ethylene gas, which makes the other flowers wilt faster,” Wiles noted. Removing them as soon as possible helps the rest last longer. Keep the vase out of the sunlight. A vase is not a garden of living flowers; it’s a container of dying ones, so they don’t need direct sun. In fact, that’s a bad thing. “Direct sunlight increases the temperature and reduces vase life. The warmth accelerates the flowers’ breath and water loss, essentially making them ‘age’ faster,” Wiles says. ___40___ By following these simple steps, you can slow down the clock and enjoy the natural beauty of your blooms for as long as possible. A. Why does this supposedly work? B. Refresh water and flower food regularly. C. What will actually make your flowers last longer? D. Buy more flower mix to add back into fresh water. E. A cooler, darker room will keep flowers fresh longer. F. While it turns out that’s a good thing, don’t worry if you cut them straight. G. You can do this for artistic factors, but there’s an even better reason to do it. 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) Every dream lost in the dark longs for a ray of light — and for Lily, that light came from a stranger.

Her mother, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, ran a small clinic in their town. The air inside was always filled with the earthy smell of dried herbs. Her mother had long hoped Li Wei would take over the family business. “A career in medicine is a good choice, and it connects us to our roots,” her mother often said, pointing to the old books lining on the shelves. But Li Wei’ s heart belonged to classical dance. She spent hours practicing in secret, and her room was full of posters of international dance groups. One evening, while helping her mother prepare herbs, Li Wei accidentally knocked over a jar of ginseng (人参). As she hurried to clean up, her mother’s voice cut through the silence, “You’ re too distracted. This is why you can’t focus on your studies— and the clinic.” Li Wei’ s cheeks turned red. “I don’ t want to be a doctor!” she shouted. “I want to dance!” Before her mother could answer, Li Wei grabbed her bag and ran out, leaving the clinic door moving. Weeks passed, and the tension between them reached boiling point. Li Wei avoided the clinic, spending long hours at dance practices even though her knees had become swollen and red. When she did come home, the house was full of cold silence, broken only by the occasional noise of her mother’s tool grinding (研磨) herbs. But Li Wei couldn’t miss the way her mother’s eyes looked at her dance shoes, or the soft sighs that came from her during their rare talks. She was eager for her mother’s support. Then came a big chance: a national dance competition. Li Wei’ s hands shook as she filled out the application form, her heart beating fast. But when she looked at the bottom of the page, she felt scared. The form needed a parent’s signature, a sad reminder of the gap between her and her mother. 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。 That evening, Li Wei arrived at the clinic, with the application form in hand. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Before stepping onto stage, Li Wei held her mother’s lucky sachet (香囊) in her pocket. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $英语听力部分现在开始，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意做题时请先将答案划在试卷上。该部分录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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，每段对话读两遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。What would you like to do in your lifetime?
