Roosevelt once said, “a smooth sea never made a skilled sailor.” This certainly applies to New York-born competitive sailor Cole Brauer, the first American woman to competitively sail solo (独自) around the world. Her calm personality and rich knowledge of the sport are the perfect recipe for success, as Brauer serves as a leading figure in this industry. The 29-year-old began the Global Solo Challenge departing from A Coruna, Spain, in October 2023. Finally, she made her way back to land in March 2024, aboard her boat named First Light. This competition is for sailors who desire a challenge to sail around the sea, sharpening their skills with each wave they leave behind them. Throughout her months at sea, Brauer was not frightened by the wildly unpredictable behaviors of Mother Nature. She worked tirelessly towards achieving her incredible achievement. Along the way, the determined competitor recorded her 130-day journey at sea on Instagram. In addition to documenting her experiences, Brauer also educated her viewers on various sailing terms and the application of different sailing techniques. For example, she references the term “reefing” the sail. This means to lower your sail to accommodate increases in wind, allowing the boat to maintain a manageable speed that allows its captain to have more controlled steering (驾驶). As a former student of the University of Hawaii, Brauer achieved many academic and athletic achievements. From earning the 2017 Jack Bonham Award for academic and athletic performance to being a part of the Intercollegiate Sailing Association Academic All-American Team twice, she continued to raise the bar. And with this latest challenge, Brauer had opportunities to improve her skills in the unique backdrop of the Pacific Ocean. As she sailed from Spain to South Africa and Australia, Brauer finally crossed the Atlantic Ocean back to her starting point — A Coruna. Her dedicated spirit, enthusiasm for life, and desire to inspire young women to pursue their dreams shone through her expedition. 24. What’s the key to Brauer’s success? A. Her academic background and desire for success. B. Her good luck and previous experience. C. Her willingness to challenge and love for adventure. D. Her calm personality and deep understanding of sailing. 25. What did Brauer do during the competition? A. She doubted her sailing skills occasionally. B. She documented her sea journey on Instagram. C. She predicted behaviors of Mother Nature successfully. D. She controlled the speed based on viewers’ techniques. 26. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A. Brauer’s sailing skills were enhanced during the voyage. B. The Atlantic Ocean was easy to sail through. C. Brauer dropped out of the University of Hawaii. D. Brauer had an average performance in academics. 27. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Global Solo Challenge: A Test for Brave Sailors B. Sailing Techniques: How to Control a Boat in Strong Winds C. Cole Brauer: The First American Woman to Sail Solo Around the World D. From College Student to Academic All-American: Brauer’s Life Story C Australia is proud of a unique history that has been shaped by the diversity of her inhabitants (居民). The three main elements that have been central to the creation of Australia’s population composition are the diversity of her native population, colonization by the British in the past and the extensive immigration from diverse cultures. Australia is home to the world’s cultures and inhabitants who can identify with more than 270 ancestries (祖先). From the year 1945, the number of people who have immigrated to Australia from different parts of the globe is approximately seven million. The country considers the rich cultural diversity as its main strength which embodies its national identity. In 1975, there was the racial discrimination(歧视) act, which meant that discrimination in the country was against the law. Later in 1995, the act was extended to ensure that any acts of racial hatred (仇恨) were against the law. To date, the act has been used in ensuring that Australia sends a strong message on the collective commitment to promoting racial equality and the significance of fairness for all. On a range of measures, Australia is a multicultural success story. On educational attainment, studies show that children of immigrants in Australia get better average results than children of native-born Australians. This is significant because according to research conducted by the OECD, the successful integration of immigrant students is an important indicator of a country’s success in its education system and equity and broader socially combinative policies. The success in educational performance is mirrored in the broader economy of Australia as it attracts a significant proportion of skilled migrants annually who have a high labour market participation rate. In the year between 2016 and 2017, skilled migrants accounted for 67.3 percent of the total immigration program outcome that year. The net effect of a multiculturalism policy for Australia has been a brain gain for Australia and this is expected to continue growing. 28. What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A. The history of Australia. B. The customs of Australia. C. The character of Australians. D. The population structure of Australia. 29. What does the underlined word “embodies” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Maintains. B. Represents. C. Assesses. D. Predicts. 30. From which can we see Australia’s success in education? A. The higher educational standards. B. The better overall grades of students. C. The increasing number of immigrant children. D. The better performance of immigrant children. 31. In which aspect does educational success benefit Australia? A. Bringing in more skilled migrants. B. Reforming the immigration policy. C. Developing immigration programs. D. Making a booming labour market. D Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our AI-powered future, and this is where AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in. This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution (变革). In the wrong hands, such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code (代码) that powers AI but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades’ professional experience translating the heady into the understandable. She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI. As we soon come to learn from AI by Design, AI is already super-smart and will become more capable, moving from the current generation of “narrow-AI” to Artificial General Intelligence. From there, Campbell says, will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence. This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now—several decades before these developments are expected to take place. She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse. Campbell’s point is to wake up those responsible for AI—the technology companies and world leaders—so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it. She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity. We need to consider how we want our future with AI to pan out. Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall. AI will affect us all, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it. 32. What does the phrase “In the wrong hands” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. If read by someone poorly educated. B. If reviewed by someone ill-intentioned. C. If written by someone less competent. D. If translated by someone unacademic. 33. What is a feature of AI by Design according to the text? A. It is packed with complex codes. B. It adopts a down-to-earth writing style. C. It provides step-by-step instructions. D. It is intended for AI professionals. 34. What does Campbell urge people to do regarding AI development? A. Observe existing regulations on it. B. Reconsider expert opinions about it. C. Make joint efforts to keep it under control. D. Learn from prior experience to slow it down. 35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To recommend a book on AI. B. To give a brief account of AI history. C. To clarify the definition of AI. D. To honor an outstanding AI expert.. 第二节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5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。 How middle school students can shoulder family responsibilities As middle school students, learning to take on family responsibilities is key to the growth and fostering a harmonious home environment. Here are practical ways to contribute meaningfully within the family. Manage individual space and chores (琐事). Start by maintaining your own space. Make your bed daily, organize your study area, and keep your clothes tidy. These habits cultivate self-discipline (自律). 36 For example, wash dishes, take out the trash, or help with grocery lists. Every small effort eases the family workload. Develop effective communication skills. 37 Share your school experiences, joys, and concerns during meals or family time. When disagreements arise, listen actively to others’ perspectives. For example, if your parents limit your screen time, discuss your feelings calmly instead of arguing. This approach resolves conflicts and deepens relationships. 38 When family members face difficulties, extend a helping hand. Comfort a younger sibling struggling with homework, or offer to run errands for busy parents. Simple acts show your thoughtfulness and strengthen familial bonds. Take charge of your growth. Set clear study goals, complete assignments on time, and participate actively in school activities. 39 Maintaining a healthy lifestyle — exercising regularly, eating well, and getting enough sleep — also demonstrates self-management. By handling your affairs independently, you reduce parental worries. Always keep a grateful heart. Finally, express gratitude often. On special occasions, create handmade cards or prepare simple meals for your family. 40 These gestures of appreciation make your loved ones feel valued and reinforce the importance of family connections. A. Prioritize school grades. B. Be ready to provide help. C. These small acts have a big impact. D. Then, gradually take on shared household chores. E. These show your commitment to self-improvement. F. Open communication is the foundation of a strong family. G. However, balancing study and leisure is equally important. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（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。 In June, I joined Remote Year.

I had shot rolls of films featuring beautiful scenery and scenes of daily life in the countryside. What a fulfilling day! Now what I needed was a hot bath and a good rest. 1 couldn’t wait to return home. On the country road, with my camera bag containing my equipment and a phonebook on my back, I rode my motorbike so merrily that all the tiredness disappeared instantly. Suddenly, a big rock hit me from nowhere. All I knew was I was no longer on my motorbike. I was thrown away from my bike and hit the road. Before I lost consciousness, I saw all my things scattered (分散的) , my helmet (头盔) lying at a distance. Hours, maybe days later, I opened my eyes. I realized I was on a hospital bed and later learnt that I had been shifted to the ward (病房) after 7 days in the ICU. The crash was so severe that my head had been injured seriously, leading to other terrible conditions. Although I survived, there were a series of surgeries needed before I could fully recover — a reconstruction of the knees, my broken right wrist to be fixed and an operation on my nose. I had no relatives in Delhi as I lived alone. After my accident, some warm-hearted strangers donated blood and resources to help me survive, which made me really touched. But every time I tried to piece together that horrible Tuesday, I felt like there remained some missing puzzles. Who discovered and saved me? How was I sent to the hospital? Where can I find my hero? Such questions bothered me until one day Amy, my friend, who was the first to learn of my accident came to see me when visits were allowed. 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。 In the ward, she told me what had happened. I dialed(拨打) the couple’s number immediately, hoping to thank them in person. 西安中学 高二年级 英语试题 第11页 共12页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 西安中学2025-2026学年度第二学期期末考试 高二英语参考答案 第一部分：听力(每小题0.5分，共10分) 1~5 BBCAC 6~10 CBACB 11~15 AACBA 16~20 CAABB 第二部分：阅读理解(每小题1.5分，共30分) 21-23 CBC 24-27 DBAC 28-31 DBDA 32-35 CBCA 36-40 DFBEC 第三部分：语言知识运用(共30分) 第一节 完形填空(每小题1分，共15分) 41-45 BABDA 46-50 DADAB 51-55 CCBCD 第二节 单选(每小题0.5分，共2.5分) 56-60 BACAD 第三节 单词拼写(每小题0.5分，共2.5分) 61.

Learning from a website that the Shaanxi History Museum is recruiting English docents for the summer vacation, I’m writing to apply for this volunteer position. First of all, I have a good command of oral English, enabling me to communicate smoothly with foreign visitors. Besides, I am deeply interested in Chinese history and have rich relevant knowledge about Shaanxi’s historical relics. What’s more, I have rich volunteer experience in serving visitors and introducing cultural knowledge, which makes me familiar with volunteer work. If I’m admitted, I will introduce cultural relics and local history accurately in English and offer thoughtful service to visitors. I sincerely hope to get this precious opportunity. Yours, Li Hua 第二节 读后续写（20分） In the ward, she told me what had happened. Amy explained that a kind couple had been driving back home when they saw me lying on the road. They immediately stopped their car and called for an ambulance. Noticing my severe injuries, they stayed with me, trying to keep me conscious until help arrived. They also gathered all my scattered belongings, including my camera bag and the phonebook. It was from the phonebook that they found Amy’s number and contacted her. Before leaving, they left their phone number with the staff, hoping someone would contact them about my condition. I dialed the couple’s number immediately, hoping to thank them in person. An elderly woman answered, and when I introduced myself, her voice broke with relief. She told me how worried they had been and that they had called the hospital several times to ask about my condition. I struggled to find words strong enough to express my gratitude. She simply said they were glad I was alive and recovering. We agreed that I would visit them once I was discharged. After hanging up, I held the phone for a long moment. Their kindness, like a beam of light in the darkness, had not only saved my life but also restored my faith in humanity. 听力材料 Text 1 饮食偏好 W: John, would you like sausages and potatoes for dinner?

Text 9 存放行李 M: Good evening! Welcome to storage! What can I do for you, madam? W: Yeah. I want to have my baggage deposited. M: OK. How many pieces of baggage do you have in all? W: Here they are. That’s all of it. M: One, two … six, six pieces? W: Yes. By the way, there is a laptop in the black suitcase. Please handle with care! M: Laptop? Wait a minute, please. Sorry, madam. I’m afraid that digital products are not allowed to be deposited. I think you have to take it with you. In fact, it’s the best choice to protect your personal property. W: That sounds reasonable. I’ll take your advice. Mm … what’s the price? M: It’s 8 dollars per hour for your two big suitcases, and 5 dollars per hour for the four small ones. W: I have some other baggage to check in. Where should I go? M: You can go to the office in the waiting room. It’s Room 213 on the 2nd floor. W: Thank you. The boarding time is seven twenty. There is two hours left. I’ll get my suitcases before that. Text 10 机器人技术俱乐部 W: Good morning, everyone. My name is Jennifer Green. I’m from Robotics Club and I’ve been in the club for two years. Are you interested in science and engineering? Do you want to build robots? If you do, please join us. Our club aims at providing us students with a real opportunity to pursue real world engineering, business and computer science activities in a good way. The students will design, build, program and operate a robot in order to compete in the NYC First Tech Challenge Competition. Our new and old club members will be working together to meet this year’s design challenge. Students in the city and nationwide will participate in local and regional challenges in order to test their robots and work to improve their design. We’re now looking for dedicated members.
