The Vertical Forest Gallery – Singapore This eight-story gallery looks like a living tower. The building uses recycled wood and self-cleaning glass, while rainwater is collected to water the plants. Inside, the main exhibit, "Rainforest Dreams," features large-scale light projections of endangered animals combined with real preserved leaves and soil samples. Visitors can also step into a sound room to enjoy bird calls from Borneo. Opening Hours: 10:00–19:00. Entry: $15. The Silk Road Echo – Samarkand, Uzbekistan Housed in a beautifully restored 15th-century caravanserai, this museum brings ancient trade routes to life. The highlight is a 3D interactive map showing how silk, spices, and paper travelled from China to Rome. Visitors can touch digital replicas of Sogdian coins, ceramic bowls, and a fragment of a 1,000-year-old camel bell. Opening Hours: 9:00–18:00 (closed Mondays). Entry: $8. The Ice Typography Museum – Helsinki, Finland Open only from December to March, this seasonal museum is rebuilt each winter using ice blocks harvested from local lakes and supported by steel frames. The exhibition, "Words in Ice," features poems and climate messages carved into slowly melting walls – meaning the art changes daily. Visitors are given heat-sensitive gloves to trace disappearing letters. Opening Hours: 12:00–20:00 (closed Christmas Eve). Entry: $2. The Afro-Futurist Centre – Lagos, Nigeria Designed to look like a spaceship landing in a garden, this centre uses woven bamboo panels and recycled metal sheets. Inside, visitors can see robotic masks that move to traditional drumbeats, AI-generated patterns based on Yoruba textiles, and a 15-minute sci-fi film called "Lagos 2100." A small workshop area invites guests to design their own futuristic African patterns. Opening Hours: 11:00–18:00 (closed Sundays). Entry: $4. 21.Which of the following charges the lowest entry fee? A. The Vertical Forest Gallery. B. The Ice Typography Museum. C. The Afro-Futurist Centre. D. The Silk Road Echo. 22.What do The Vertical Forest Gallery and The Afro-Futurist Centre have in common? A. They use sustainable materials. B. They exhibit musical instruments. C. They house traditional resources. D. They offer hands-on experiences. 23.Where is this text probably taken from? A. A geography textbook. B. A travel guide. C. A science report. D. An entertainment journal. B Being immersed in native plants may not seem like a formula（方法）for social media success. But meet Kyle Lybarger, an Alabama forester often wearing camo（迷彩服）. He has gained unexpected fame by talking about native plants and why biodiversity matters. On TikTok alone, he has nearly half a million followers. A professor calls his story "an incredible adventure in American conservation." When pressed about his secret sauce, Lybarger credits it to a positive energy inherited from his late dad and says, "You have to really not care about what people think of you to do that." His mission began with a terrible mistake. A decade ago, as a deer hunter, he sprayed herbicide（除草剂）on a rocky area to plant food for deer. The seeds failed. But the next summer, the unsprayed edges burst into color with native plants like blazing star and butterfly weed. A local plant expert pointed out rare species. "That is when the light bulb went off in my head that managing for biodiversity is probably the best option," Lybarger says. Today, he works to save remaining grasslands. Over 90% of Alabama land is privately owned, so Lybarger knocks on doors to speak with landowners who are unknowing hosts to rare plants. He offers to care for those populations, thanks to his income from social media. "Private landowners will be the cornerstone of conservation for a lot of plants," he says. In one case, he helped protect an endangered plant called leafy prairie clover. He teamed with an artist to sell T-shirts featuring the plant, raising over $100,000. He used most of the money to buy the 24 acres of habitat, which he plans to turn into a protected area. There has been a recent shift around the state with more people investing in grasslands research and giving the topic the attention it deserves. "One person, one yard, one-tenth of an acre can make a bigger difference than you think," Lybarger says. 24.How did Lybarger gain fame online? A. By promoting plant-growing techniques. B. By learning from successful influencers. C. By educating people about native species. D. By dressing himself in an unusual uniform. 25.What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The failure of growing enough food for deer. B. The action of spraying herbicide on rocky areas. C. The discovery of rare plants on unsprayed edges. D. The intention of planting all kinds of rare species. 26.What does Lybarger think is crucial to his mission? A. Getting landowners involved. B. Seeking government funding. C. Cooperating with artists. D. Buying more habitats. 27.What message does Lybarger intend to convey in the last paragraph? A. Every little bit helps. B. Still waters run deep. C. Practice makes perfect. D. Well begun is half done. C In just a few years, banning mobile phones in schools has moved from a handful of national policies to a widespread global policy trend. Governments increasingly see smartphones as something that takes students' attention away from lessons and may harm their mental and social health. The push for school phone bans is closely linked to growing concern about social media and online harms. Evidence highlighted in recent global education monitoring, including the 2023 Gender Report, suggests that social media environments can expose young people, particularly girls, to risks such as harassment, unrealistic social pressures and harmful content. That report found that girls are twice as likely as boys to suffer from eating disorders worsened by social media usage. Facebook's own research revealed that 32% of teenage girls felt worse about their bodies after using Instagram. Furthermore, emotional well-being is crucial for academic success. The impact of social media on the latter is particularly pronounced among girls. This can show up as a greater decline in attention during study time, increased academic anxiety linked to online social comparison, and a higher likelihood of disengaging from schoolwork. However, as research by the Global Education Monitoring Report team highlighted in 2023 and 2025, while limiting phone use may help reduce classroom distraction, it does not remove the need for students to learn how to navigate digital environments. Schools remain one of the few places where young people can develop digital literacy and critical thinking skills including how to assess online information, manage screen time and understand the risks of digital platforms. The policy challenge therefore goes beyond banning devices. It is about ensuring that education systems both protect learning time and prepare students for a digital world. And the real debate is no longer just about whether phones belong in schools. It is about using technology in an appropriate way, ensuring it is on the terms of educators and students, and no one else. 28.Why are mobile phones banned in schools? A. They affect policy making. B. They are trending globally. C. They have negative effects. D. They raise management costs. 29.What are paragraphs 2 and 3 intended to do? A. Draw a conclusion. B. Clarify a definition. C. Provide an example. D. Offer an explanation. 30.What does the underlined word "distraction" in paragraph 4 mean? A. Lack of attention. B. Absence of imagination. C. Criticism from teachers. D. Pressure from classmates. 31.What's the author's attitude towards the ban? A. Favorable. B. Unclear. C. Unconcerned. D. Critical. D In the same way that humans try to eat a balanced diet, it seems that bees need to do the same. A new study has found that wild bees visit different flowers on purpose to get a balanced mix of protein, fats and carbohydrates (carbs). The team led by Northwestern University tracked which flowers each bee species visited for pollen（花粉）. They collected pollen samples from these plant species to understand their nutrient content. At the lab, the team measured each pollen's content and calculated its concentration of protein, fat and carbs. Clear patterns emerged when the researchers compared each bee species' diet with their physical features. Researchers were surprised by the protein differences among the studied flowers. Some flowers consist of only 17% protein while others contain as much as 86%. The pollen's nutrient content also changed throughout the season. The study shared that spring flowers have more protein-rich pollen, while late-summer flowers are richer in fat and carbs. Justin Bain, the lead author on the study, said: "all pollen contains protein, fats and carbs but each has a different mixture of micronutrients. Some are very high in protein like a steak. Others are more like a salad." The team also found that coexisting bee species occupied two distinct nutrient niches（生态位）. Larger-bodied bees with longer tongues preferred pollen high in protein but lower in sugars and fats, while bees with shorter tongues looked out for pollen richer in carbs and fats. Justin Bain said the study showed the "huge amount" of variation in macronutrients in natural ecosystems and how bees' nutrient needs are not "one-size-fits-all". He believes the findings from the research can provide "some of the best information" on the availability of nutritional resources found in wildflowers and how pollinators use these resources. "We can incorporate this work into our thinking about garden design, so we can select the right flowers that best support the nutritional needs of wild pollinators." 32.Which aspect of bees does the study focus on? A. Their habitats. B. Their varieties. C. Their pollen intake. D. Their physical features. 33.What do we know about the studied flowers? A. Their nutrient contents vary substantially. B. They contain the same amount of protein. C. They are good ingredients for steak and salad. D. Late-summer flowers have more nutritional value. 34.What influences which flowers bees can access? A. Bees' flying speed. B. Bees' living habit. C. Bees' tongue length. D. Bees' food preference. 35.What should garden designers focus on? A. Pollinators' safety. B. Nutritional diversity. C. One-size-fits-all menu. D. Valuable wildflowers. 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When we think of "letting go", certain associations may come up… surrender（放弃）, forgiveness, acceptance, non-attachment. 36 And they are – at first. Luckily, with long-term consistent practice, we can gradually allow our minds to relax. Surrender to your emotional experience. 37 You can face your thoughts and feelings or control them. Most believe actively working through negative thoughts and emotions is a necessary part of this process. But it can be unpleasant and create additional stress. Instead, surrender to the fact that your thoughts and emotions may come in waves. The goal isn't to eliminate the waves but to learn to float upon them, so they don't pull you in. 38 When ready, take a step back and critically examine the event. As you work through your emotions, ask yourself what is happening to you physically. Working with a trained professional who can guide you and help you practice mindfulness might also be helpful. It helps to engage in restorative activities, such as exercise, gardening and cooking, while intentionally releasing judgment about how they feel about the situation. Learn from the circumstances and your reactions. To let go of the past, most people gather additional information to learn about what happened. And that is healthy because it can help you create language and frameworks around what occurred while serving as a reminder that you are not alone. 39 Exploring how your identity influenced your perspective on this event and how the event might affect you going forward can help you clarify what you want for the future. In conclusion, although it will differ for everyone, the letting-go process tends to happen in waves. 40 But, by consciously experiencing, observing, and learning, you can shift your perspective, practice self-compassion, and design a fascinating new future sooner. A. Time helps, of course. B. Observe the event and its impact. C. All of these terms sound challenging. D. Identify your physical and emotional habits. E. Your suffering arises from carrying the burden. F. I also suggest spending time learning about yourself. G. You are faced with a choice when letting go of the past. 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、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Since coming to England from Ethiopia eight years ago, I've lost parts of my cultural 41 .

The fear started when I was five years old. At a family pool party, my cousin pushed me into the deep end as a joke. I sank like a stone, swallowing water, unable to breathe, convinced I was going to die. My uncle jumped in and pulled me out, but the damage was done. From that day on, I stayed far away from any body of water larger than a bathtub. So when my high school announced a mandatory swimming class for all students, my heart dropped into my stomach. I begged my parents to write me a note. I pretended to be sick on the first day. I tried everything. But nothing worked. My parents, to my horror, thought this was exactly what I needed. "You can't avoid water forever, honey," my mom said gently but firmly. "This is your chance to face your fear." The first day of swimming class, I stood at the edge of the pool, trembling. The water looked so dark, so deep, so dangerous. All around me, my classmates were jumping in, laughing, splashing each other. They made it look so easy. But to me, that pool might as well have been an ocean. My coach, a tall woman with kind eyes named Thompson, walked over to me. "First time?" she asked. I nodded, unable to speak. "Then let's start small," she said. "You don't have to swim today. You just have to sit on the edge and put your feet in." I looked at her. She wasn't laughing. She wasn't pushing. She was just waiting. 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 took a deep breath and put my feet in the water. Three months later, I stood at the starting line of my first swimming race. 2026年高二期末考试 英语参考答案 I-5ABCAC 6-10BACAC 11-15 BCCBA 16-20 BABAB 21-25 BABCC 26-30AACDA 31-35 DCACB 36-40 CGBFA 41-45 CDCDB 46-50 ABCBA 51-55 BDCCA 56. mountains 57.the 58.at 59. anticipated 60. specifically 61. to address 62. has launched 63. driven 64. that/which 65.offering 应用文 One possible version: Dear fellow participants, I'm honored to speak as a student representative. Today, promoting Chinese is vitally significant as it connects over a billion people worldwide and opens a door for foreigners to explore China's rich history and modern achievements. The AI era enables us to adopt intelligent strategies to promote Chinese. Firstly, we can use AI translation tools to make Chinese learning more accessible and actively promote the use of Chinese on global digital platforms. Also, interactive apps with speech recognition can be developed to perfect pronunciation. Additionally, AI-generated stories in Chinese can help engage young learners In a word, by integrating AI into the promotion of Chinese, we can ensure that Chinese shines brightly globally. Thank you! 读后续写 One possible version: I took a deep breath and put my feet in the water: My heart was racing, but Coach Thompson smiled and said, "Good job." Day by day, I moved from the edge to the shallow end. I learned to blow bubbles, then to float on my back. Each small step was a battle against my fear, but I refused to give up. The old terror still visited me sometimes, but it grew smaller every time I faced it. After weeks of hard work, I could finally swim across the pool without stopping. Three months later, I stood at the starting line of my first swimming race. My legs were shaking, but I wasn't running away this time. The whistle blew, and I dove in. I focused on my strokes and my breathing, pushing the old panic down. When I touched the wall, I looked up -third place! My parents were cheering in the stands. Coach Thompson hugged me and said, "You beat your fear." I looked back at the pool and smiled. That medal wasn't just bronze. It was proof that I had changed. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
