What visitors experience is not a novelty,but the reinvention of a centuries-old practice.The popularity of communal bathhouses dates back to the Northern Song Dynasty.The rising popularity of Chinese spas and bathhouses is indicative of a broader shift in how foreigners visiting China want to experience China.Most 高二英语试题第4页共12页 travelers seek immersive,everyday experiences,which social media users often refer to as "very Chinese moments" "Things that feel ordinary to locals are becoming extraordinary for international visitors,"said Li Mengran,spokeswoman for UTour Group,a leading travel platform based in Beijing."That's where a new wave of tourism growth is coming from." 24.Why does the author mention Jonathan in the text?

C We live in a world where conversations about mental health are becoming more common.Yet,while sharing struggles often receives understanding,admitting to feeling steady can sometimes feel uncomfortable.Why does saying I'm doing well" often come with a hint of guilt,as if being okay is somehow inappropriate when others are not? This phenomenon is linked to what psychologists call upward emotional comparison.In our interconnected society,we constantly measure our own emotional state against the visible suffering of others.As a result,expressions of personal stability can be misunderstood as indifference or privilege,making people hesitate to share their neutral or positive wellbeing.The language of crisis feels more familiar and authentic than the language of calm. 高二英语试题第5页共12项 However,feeling okay is not emotional ignorance.Research in positive psychology suggests that emotions like calmness and contentment are not merely personal benefits.They serve a critical social function.Positive emotions can broaden our perspective,enhance problem-solving abilities,and build psychological resources. This inner steadiness,far from being selfish,actually increases our capacity for empathy and compassion.It acts as an emotional bulwark,allowing individuals to navigate the waves of collective stress without being overwhelmed. Therefore,cultivating and acknowledging this "quiet okayness"is a form of emotional resilience.It involves several practices:answering honestly when genuinely well,valuing the stable middle ground between crisis and excitement,allowing oneself to feel gratitude without guilt,and sharing one's calm through attentive presence.In challenging times,such steadiness becomes a quiet strength.By openly acknowledging our own periods of stability,we help normalize a full range of human emotions and create space for others to accept their own state without judgment. Ultimately,this honest sharing of wellbeing,one conversation at a time,contributes to building a more emotionally resilient community. 28.Why might people feel guilty saying'I'm doing well"? A.They feel they face a language crisis.B.They fear their luck won't last long.

A.The Quiet Strength of Feeling Okay B.Why We Should Only Share Our Struggles C.How Positive Psychology Builds Happiness D.The Problem of Upward Emotional Comparison 高二英语试题第6页共12页 D A new artificial intelligence system developed by researchers at the University of Surrey can forecast what a patient's knee X-ray might look like in one year's time. This breakthrough could reshape how people living with osteoarthritis(骨关节炎) understand and manage their condition. The research,presented at the International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention,features a powerful AI model that generates realistic"future"X-rays and a personalized risk score for estimating disease progression.Together,these outputs give doctors and patients a visual roadmap of how osteoarthritis may evolve over time. Osteoarthritis,a chronic joint disorder affecting more than 500 million people globally,is the leading cause of disability among older adults.For millions, monitoring disease progression has long relied on periodic X-rays and subjective symptom assessments,which provide limited visibility into future worsening.This unmet medical need has created an urgent demand for tools that can accurately predict future joint damage. Given this pressing need,David Butler,the study'lead author,explained:"Our system not only predicts the likelihood of your knee getting worse,it also shows you a realistic image of what the knee could look like in a year.Seeing the past and future X-rays side by side is a powerful motivator.It helps doctors act sooner and gives patients a clearer picture of why sticking to their treatment plan or lifestyle changes natters.” The new system uses an advanced diffusion model to create a "future"X-ray, identifying 16 key joint points to highlight potential changes.This enhances transparency by showing clinicians exactly which parts of the knee are being monitored,boosting confidence in its predictions. The Surrey team believes in the future their approach,when modified,could be applied to other chronic issues,potentially predicting lung damage in smokers or tracking heart disease progression,offering similar visual insights and early warning for osteoarthritis. 32.What is the new AI system capable of? A.Offering personalized treatment plans.B.Curing knee-related diseases. C.Diagnosing early-stage osteoarthritis.D.Visualizing future knee conditions. 高二英语试题第7页共12页 33.What is the function of Paragraph 3? A.To explain the cause of osteoarthritis B.To suggest treatments for joint diseases C.To show the necessity of the invention. D.To present research data of the AI system. 34.What does Butler emphasize about the system? A.Deeper insight and quicker recovery. B.Higher accuracy and easier accessibility. C.Wider application and faster diagnosis. D.Greater transparency and earlier intervention. 35.What gives the system a promising future? A.Its convenience. B.Its adaptability. C.Its affordability. D.Its efficiency. E Among all human facial expressions,none is more universally recognized than the smile.It serves as an instinctive signal of friendliness and puts those around us at ease.That's why dogs make such a hit.They are so glad to see us that they almost jump out of their skins.36. Consider what happened in a doctor's waiting room.Patients sat in tense silence, frustrated over the long delay.A young woman entered with her nine-month-old baby and sat next to an impatient gentleman.The baby looked up at him and smiled. 37.Soon he started a conversation with her about her baby and his grandchildren. Then the whole room joined in,and the tension turned into a pleasant experience. 38.Telephone companies have a program called"phone power"which is offered to employees who use the telephone for selling their services or products. They suggest smiling when talking.Remarkably,that smile comes through in their voice,making them sound more welcoming. You don't feel like smiling?Well,force yourself to smile.If you are alone,force yourself to whistle or hum a tune or sing.39 and that will tend to make you happy. Your smile is a messenger of your goodwill.40 To someone who has seen nothing but frowns all day,your smile is like sunlight breaking through clouds. For those under pressure,a single smile can remind them that hope remains. 高二英语试题第8页共12页 A.Act as if you were already happy B.It has the power to brighten even the darkest of days C.So,naturally,we find ourselves drawn to them in return D.The effect of a smile is powerful,even when it is unseen E.He smiled back at the baby,and something in him softened F.The ability to smile naturally develops the more you practice it G.We should offer others a genuine smile that comes from within 第二节完形填空（共15小题满分15分） The August sun beat down without mercy.My father and I dragged our heavy backpacks through the dusty hills.My throat was parched,my legs weak.I was about to 41 when he pointed a dusty finger toward the horizon."A 42,"he croaked A spark of hope lit inside me.I 43 a fruit tree,its branches heavy with something sweet.My mouth 44 at the thought of a crisp apple.My father, more practical,guessed a pear tree.Fueled by this 45,we pushed on,our tired legs finding new strength.

Yet, while sharing struggles often receives understanding, admitting to feeling steady can sometimes feel uncomfortable. Why does saying “I’m doing well” often come with a hint of guilt, as if being okay is somehow inappropriate when others are not? This phenomenon is linked to what psychologists call upward emotional comparison. In our interconnected society, we constantly measure our own emotional state against the visible suffering of others. As a result, expressions of personal stability can be misunderstood as indifference or privilege, making people hesitate to share their neutral or positive wellbeing. The language of crisis feels more familiar and authentic than the language of calm. However, feeling okay is not emotional ignorance. Research in positive psychology suggests that emotions like calmness and contentment are not merely personal benefits. They serve a critical social function. Positive emotions can broaden our perspective, enhance problem-solving abilities, and build psychological resources. This inner steadiness, far from being selfish, actually increases our capacity for empathy and compassion. It acts as an emotional bulwark, allowing individuals to navigate the waves of collective stress without being overwhelmed. Therefore, cultivating and acknowledging this “quiet okayness” is a form of emotional resilience. It involves several practices: answering honestly when genuinely well, valuing the stable middle ground between crisis and excitement, allowing oneself to feel gratitude without guilt, and sharing one’s calm through attentive presence. In challenging times, such steadiness becomes a quiet strength. By openly acknowledging our own periods of stability, we help normalize a full range of human emotions and create space for others to accept their own state without judgment. Ultimately, this honest sharing of wellbeing, one conversation at a time, contributes to building a more emotionally resilient community. 28．Why might people feel guilty saying “I’m doing well”? A．They feel they face a language crisis. B．They fear their luck won’t last long. C．They think sharing feelings is impolite. D．They worry it shows a lack of concern. 29．What does the underlined word “bulwark” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Measurement. B．Barrier. C．Support. D．Pressure. 30．Which of the following actions best illustrates “quiet okayness”? A．Sharing only anxieties to seek support. B．Encouraging others to feel constantly happy. C．Telling a friend you’re well when you truly are. D．Saying “I’m fine” quickly even if feeling stressed. 31．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．The Quiet Strength of Feeling Okay B．Why We Should Only Share Our Struggles C．How Positive Psychology Builds Happiness D．The Problem of Upward Emotional Comparison D A new artificial intelligence system developed by researchers at the University of Surrey can forecast what a patient’s knee X-ray might look like in one year’s time. This breakthrough could reshape how people living with osteoarthritis (骨关节炎) understand and manage their condition. The research, presented at the International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention, features a powerful AI model that generates realistic “future” X-rays and a personalized risk score for estimating disease progression. Together, these outputs give doctors and patients a visual roadmap of how osteoarthritis may evolve over time. Osteoarthritis, a chronic joint disorder affecting more than 500 million people globally, is the leading cause of disability among older adults. For millions, monitoring disease progression has long relied on periodic X-rays and subjective symptom assessments, which provide limited visibility into future worsening. This unmet medical need has created an urgent demand for tools that can accurately predict future joint damage. Given this pressing need, David Butler, the study’ lead author, explained: “Our system not only predicts the likelihood of your knee getting worse, it also shows you a realistic image of what the knee could look like in a year. Seeing the past and future X-rays side by side is a powerful motivator. It helps doctors act sooner and gives patients a clearer picture of why sticking to their treatment plan or lifestyle changes matters.” The new system uses an advanced diffusion model to create a “future” X-ray, identifying 16 key joint points to highlight potential changes. This enhances transparency by showing clinicians exactly which parts of the knee are being monitored, boosting confidence in its predictions. The Surrey team believes in the future their approach, when modified, could be applied to other chronic issues, potentially predicting lung damage in smokers or tracking heart disease progression, offering similar visual insights and early warning for osteoarthritis. 32．What is the new AI system capable of? A．Offering personalized treatment plans. B．Curing knee-related diseases. C．Diagnosing early-stage osteoarthritis. D．Visualizing future knee conditions. 33．What is the function of Paragraph 3? A．To explain the cause of osteoarthritis. B．To suggest treatments for joint diseases. C．To show the necessity of the invention. D．To present research data of the AI system. 34．What does Butler emphasize about the system? A．Deeper insight and quicker recovery. B．Higher accuracy and easier accessibility. C．Wider application and faster diagnosis. D．Greater transparency and earlier intervention. 35．What gives the system a promising future? A．Its convenience. B．Its adaptability. C．Its affordability. D．Its efficiency. E Among all human facial expressions, none is more universally recognized than the smile. It serves as an instinctive signal of friendliness and puts those around us at ease. That’s why dogs make such a hit. They are so glad to see us that they almost jump out of their skins. 36 . Consider what happened in a doctor’s waiting room. Patients sat in tense silence, frustrated over the long delay. A young woman entered with her nine-month-old baby and sat next to an impatient gentleman. The baby looked up at him and smiled. 37 . Soon he started a conversation with her about her baby and his grandchildren. Then the whole room joined in, and the tension turned into a pleasant experience. 38 . Telephone companies have a program called “phone power” which is offered to employees who use the telephone for selling their services or products. They suggest smiling when talking. Remarkably, that smile comes through in their voice, making them sound more welcoming. You don’t feel like smiling? Well, force yourself to smile. If you are alone, force yourself to whistle or hum a tune or sing. 39 and that will tend to make you happy. Your smile is a messenger of your goodwill. 40 . To someone who has seen nothing but frowns all day, your smile is like sunlight breaking through clouds. For those under pressure, a single smile can remind them that hope remains. A．Act as if you were already happy B．It has the power to brighten even the darkest of days C．So, naturally, we find ourselves drawn to them in return D．The effect of a smile is powerful, even when it is unseen E．He smiled back at the baby, and something in him softened F．The ability to smile naturally develops the more you practice it G．We should offer others a genuine smile that comes from within 第二节 完形填空 （共15小题 满分15分） The August sun beat down without mercy.

She had always been fascinated by the mountain’s impressive beauty. For as long as she could remember, Maya dreamed of standing at the summit. Every day, she would look up at the peak, imagining what it would be like to stand at the top and see the world from that height. One day, Maya decided that it was time to turn her dream into a reality. Filled with hope and excitement, she packed a small bag with essentials: a phone, a map, a compass, some food, and warm clothing. After saying a heartfelt goodbye to her family, she set off on her journey. The initial part of the climb was controlled, with a gentle slope (斜坡) and a less traveled path. However, as she climbed higher, the path became steeper and more challenging. rocks tumbled (翻滚) under her feet, and the cold wind bit at her cheeks, but Maya held on, determined to reach the summit. Halfway up the mountain, Maya encountered a group of seasoned climbers making their way down. “You’d better turn back,” one of them suggested. "The climb is becoming increasingly dangerous, and the weather is worsening. It’s not worth the risk.” For a moment, doubt clouded Maya’s mind. She felt tired, cold, and unsure if she could continue. But then, Maya remembered why she had started the climb in the first place. She remembered the countless hours spent imagining the view from the summit and the inner strength she had gained by pursuing her dreams. She wanted to prove to herself that she was capable of achieving her dreams, no matter how difficult the journey was. Taking a deep breath and filled with renewed determination, she thanked the climbers for their concern but decided to continue. 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。 When she climbed higher than before, the air grew thinner, and every step became a struggle. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With a heart full of pride, Maya knew that there was no challenge too great for her to overcome. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高二英语试题 第1页 共3页 高二英语试题 第1页 共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $2025-2026学年度高二第二学期期末学业水平质量监测 英语参考答案 2 3 5 6 7 9 10 C B C B C B 11 12 13 14 15 16 1> 18 19 20 B C A B B B C 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 D C B C D 0 D C 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 A D C D B C E A ⊙ 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 B A D D B A D B A 51 52 53 54 55 B C D A 56. what 57.rooted 58.beyond 59.and 60.demonstrates 61.creation 62.developing/to develop 63.earlier 64.widely 65.a 66.(满分15分) Dear Emily, I'm excited to hear that you show deep interest in the "My China Moments" event!Since you love music,I suggest you focus on Yue Opera,the unique local music art in Guangzhou.
