"What?Can I stay with Dad?" "He's out of town."Mom replied. "I can't stay with Grandpa that long.He doesn't even like me."I 25 with her. "Oh,Joey,of course he likes you.Grandpa is just sad since Grandma died. Besides,it's not going to kill you to stay with him for a couple of hours." I knew after she said that,the conversation was over.We drove straight to Grandpa's in 26 silence. Grandpa's apartment was quiet.He sat in front of the TV,staring at the screen. Mom said,"Dad,we're here.Joey has some 27 to do.I'm heading to the supermarket.Do you need anything?"Grandpa shook his head,his eyes fixed on TV. Mom gave me a kiss on cheek."I'll be back soon,"she whispered.I didn't answer.I just shot her a 28. Left alone,I pulled out my math homework.Ten minutes later,Grandpa tumned off the TV and began to read a magazine.We looked up to each other every now and then but didn't say anything.I tried to spend a long time on my homework,but for once there wasn't much to do.It only took me 20 minutes. "Done?"Grandpa asked when he saw me 29 up. 第3页（共12页） 2025-2026学年度第二学期初二年级期中测验（英语字科） "Uh-huh,"I answered. "Want to learn chess?"he said,pointing to a wooden box under the couch. "Sure,"I replied with a shrug.Grandpa took out the chess set and 30 it on the table."First,the pawns,"he said,picking up a small piece."They move straight,one square at a time.On their first move,they can go two squares."He then showed me the king,the queen,the bishop,the knight and the rook one by one. We began to practice.I was surprised how 31 Grandpa was.Whenever I made a wrong move,he just corrected me and had me try again.Finally,he smiled and said,"Now we're ready to play." In the first game,Grandpa talked after every move.He explained what was going on,what the possible moves were,and did and didn't make sense to do.I was confused by how 32 everything was-how each move opened a bunch of possrbilities,but it was hard for me to keep track of everything.Just when I thought I had made a good move,Grandpa would take one of my pieces.After a while,my king had nowhere to go-and he won. "Now you know how to play.Let's play for 33.This time,I'm not going to go easy on you."We kept on playing.I started to watch Grandpa closely,noticing how he planned his moves.He never gave away anything with his expressions.I couldn't tell if he was about to 34 me off.I was losing game after game,but it took Grandpa a little longer to win each time. When Mom came back,she found us laughing over the chessboard. "Thanks for the chess lesson,Grandpa,"I said as we left."Maybe we can play again sometime..” Grandpa looked up at me and replied,"Sounds good."Then he smiled.It was the first time I saw Grandpa smile so brightly. 25.A.agreed B.talked C.argued D.fought 26.A.peaceful B.uncomfortable C.impolite D.relaxing 27.A.projects B.homework C.activities D.volunteering 28.A.message B.question C.look D.smile 29.A.packing B.staying C.giving D.dressing 30.A.threw B.spread C.balanced D.placed 31.A.confident B.strict C.patient D.difficult 32.A.connected B.organized C.worrying D.challenging 33.A.pride B.real C.time D.fun 34.A.rush B.see C.send D.finish 第4项（共12页） 2025-2026学年度第二学期初二年级期中测脸（英语学科) 阅读理解（共40分) 五、阅读理解（每题2分，共32分） (一)阅读下列俱乐部介绍，请根据人物需求匹配最合适的俱乐部，并将 俱乐部所对应的选项A、B、C、D填写在相应位置上。其中一个选项为多余选项。 A A B Welcome to the Future Chef Clubl Are you often lost in painting?If If you are interested in cooking the answer is yes,the Future Artist Club delicious food,the chef club is suitable is perfect for you.You can learn to use for you.We will learn to make tasty different painting tools and practice art food and practice kitchen skills together. techniques.It's interesting and relaxing It's fun and creative.Let's explore this to create beautiful artwork by yourself. career together!

One day,Sumi and Anna were invited to a get-together.Someone playfully asked the youngsters what they wanted to be when they grew up. “I want to be a pianist "I want to be a famous actor!" “T'll start a business and make tons of money！" One after another,the children talked about their bold dreams.The adults clapped and praised each one. Anna?She smiled and added,"I want to be a kindergarten teacher.I love tiny kids.I love dancing,singing and playing with them." And suddenly,the whole room just...became quiet. This hit Sumi hard.It was like her heart got caught in her throat.She had done everything to help Anna with school,but nothing had changed.Heartbroken,Sumi stopped pushing her daughter. After a few days,Sumi got a phone call from Anna's class teacher. The teacher said,"Anna's grades haven't changed much-she's still right in the middle.But I've been teaching for 30 years,and I saw something for the first time. We added a bonus question at the end of the exam:Who's your favorite student in class and why?Almost every single student wrote your daughter's name." Sumi was speechless. "They said that she's kind,she helps others and listens to everyone.Many even recommended her as the class leader.I just wanted to let you know,grades aside, you're raising a remarkable child.I'm proud of her." Sumi cried after the call,not because she lost hope,but because of something deeper.She felt relieved and made peace with herself. That afternoon when Anna returned home from school,Sumi kissed her and told her about the phone call. Anna smiled and said,"Mom,I never wanted to be the hero.When heroes walk down the road,everyone claps for them.I want to be the one clapping." We all want our kids to succeed,to shine,to be number one. But sometimes we forget that being kind,happy,and true to yourself is the actual achievement.Maybe being"Number 23"isn't that terrible after all. 第6页（共12页） 2025-2026学年度第二学期初二年级期中测验（英语学科） 38.Why did the whole room become quiet after Anna talked about her dream? A.Because Anna was the last one to talk about her dream. B.Because people expected her to be a kindergarten teacher. C.Because Anna spoke too quietly for everyone to hear clearly. D.Because people were surprised at her simple and ordinary dream. 39.What can we learn about Anna in the passage? A.Her behavior in class made her a hero. B.She didn't like to play with the other kids. C.She was popular in school for her kindness. D.Her grades improved a lot in the latest exam. 40.What does the writer want to tell us? A.You are never too young to start small and dream big. B.Heroes are ordinary people who do extraordinary things. C.You will never know your limit unless you push yourself. D.True success lies in being kind,happy and true to oneself. c In the face of a growing population,we've built skyscrapers and deep underground networks,but where do we go next?Some have started to look at the last place we haven't fully explored-the ocean.Sea-steading,the idea of building a city at sea,is becoming a reality,but many factors need to be considered:how would a floating (city react to a natural disaster such as a hurricane?How would the community grow food or have drinkable water? The first challenge for engineers is finding balance within a structure:it should be strong enough to stay put but also flexible(灵话的)enough to roll when the waves come. Many have focused their attention on designing several tussocks on water small but strong units that can be interlocked together, creating a flexible structure that will float on the surface.This design is inspired by nature's perfect floating island-tussocks.These plants grow on a carpet of floating roots(the O2 bubbles inside help to keep them above water).They would support each other,stay balanced,and not sink easily. The next challenge is to make sure the floating city is ready to take care of all its own needs out in the open ocean.At their most basic,humans need food and water to survive.An average person needs about 3L water a day,and though these cities will be surrounded by water,the sea is too salty for us to drink.These floating communities will need to use onboard plants to take the salt out of the water.Thanks to genetic modification technology(基因编辑技术)，it will be possible to grow vegetables and build fish and shrimp farms in the open water. 第7页（共12页） 2025-2026学年度第二学期初二年级期中测验（英语学科） Electricity is another challenge.We need it to power the homes and businesses. Any project without the land-based electric network needs to find another power source.A leading technology called OTEC produces clean,renewable energy by using the ocean's natural temperature difference. In 2017,a deal was signed between the French govemment and a sea-steading organization.They agreed to work together to create a sea zone for companies to build houses.In addition,there are smaller projects throughout the world making floating homes possible to everyone. A,but the challenges will push our creativity and engineering skills to our limits.The dream of living in a floating world may be just around the comer,so kick back and ride the waves towards a new water-bome city. 41.What does the example of tussocks on water tell us? A.Floating islands move with every wave. B.Some plants can survive salty conditions. C.Plants are necessary for floating structures. D.Small units stay strong through connection. 42.What can we leamn about the challenges from the passage? A.OTEC makes drinkable water available. B.Modified vegetables can grow in salty water. C.Temperature difference is practical in fish farming. D.Genetic modification technology solves energy problems. 43.Which of the following can be put in theA in Paragraph 6? A.Sea-based housing brings a promising future B.Building homes on the sea is of no benefit to us C.Hurricanes pose serious challenges to floating cities D.We can't predict how humans will build into the ocean D When we talk about the past with our grandparents,they often say it was a better time.They think life was simpler and more joyful in their youth,especially when they see old pictures.This common habit is called rosy retrospection.It means we often recall the past as better than the present,even if facts suggest otherwise.For example, a man at a family dinner might miss his carefree 20s,focusing on fun memories while forgetting job-hunting stress.This selective memory distorts reality,painting the past as"rosy"compared to today's news of global issues or daily pressures. This bias (influences both individuals and society.Positively,it can help improve well-being.Studies show people often remember tough experiences,like a long bike trip,as more enjoyable later,helping them feel proud of overcoming 第8页（共12页） 2025-2026学年度第二学期初二年级期中剥验（英语学科） challenges.Recalling happy memories even helps lower stress when facing new difficulties. However,rosy retrospection isn't always helpful.It can lead to declinism-the belief that society is worsening.If we view the past through rose-colored glasses,we may not see how things have improved,like better technology or medical advances, and may be afraid of changes.It also harms decision-making:a person might forget a past beach sunburn and skip sunscreen again,risking the pain. Our brains favor positive memories.Young adulthood is a "reminiscence bump"-a time of strong emotions and big life events,like landing the first job and getting married.These memories feel lively,so they last longer.Negative memories fade faster:we remember a fun party more clearly than a boring meeting,making the past seem brighter. To avoid over-idealizing the past,question your memories.Before complaining that old cartoons were better,ask yourself:Were the cartons truly better,or were you just happier as a child watching them?Old photos only show good times,not past struggles.Recognizing the gaps helps us keep a clearer view of the past and present. So,was life really better back then?Maybe not.By remembering the full picture-both the joy and the hardship-we can appreciate yesterday without losing sight of today. 44.Which of the following is an example of rosy retrospection? A.Tom says the school camping trip was perfect even though it rained hard. B.Lucy thinks her life now is much happier than it was in her primary school. C.Lily still feels bad about arguing with her friend in the playground last term D.Mike misses his old classmates because they study in different schools now. 45.The word"distorts"in Paragraph 1 probably means A.proves B.changes C.follows D.mirrors 46.What can we leamn from the passage? A.Declinism helps people accept social progress and change. B.Positive memories can free people from stress and struggle. C.Memory biases like rosy retrospection may lead to bad decisions D.Teenagers should stop recalling their past experiences immediately. 47.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A.Why do old photos always lie to us? B.Can we really forget the bad memories? C.Why do we view the past more brightly? D.Does living in the past always bring risks? 第9页（共12页） 2025-2026举年度第二学期初二年级期中测脸（英语号， E Mrs.Fay went to the hospital for some regular health checks.She had a heart problem called tricuspid stenosis(三尖窄)，which wasn't seen as very dangerous, Dr.Lown examined her and found nothing unusual.Later,a group of trainee doctors came to see her.During their visit,Dr.Lown mentioned in front of everyone, including Mrs.Fay,that she had TS. In medical terms,TS stands for tricuspid stenosis,but Mrs.Fay thought it meant "terminal situation,"which she took to mean she was dying.After hearing this,Mrs. Fay.started showing signs of serious heart failure.It seemed she believed she was going to die without even thinking about it.Dr.Lown tried to explain the mistake,but Mrs.Fay didn't listen.She grew sicker very quickly and died later that same day. Mrs.Fay's story is a real example of the nocebo effect.Nocebo means "I shall harm"-it shows how negative thoughts,feelings,and emotions can produce negative outcomes. We can only accept,believe and surrender (to thoughts and ideas that match our present emotional state.When we do,our body's nervous system produces the exact amount of chemicals that can either help us or hurt us. This idea is called suggestibility-when we accept beliefs without questioning them.The less we analyze ()the more suggestible we become.Our analytical mind acts like a gatekeeper,deciding which thoughts reach our deeper automatic system.This automatic system controls things like body temperature,digestion, blood sugar and heart rate.When Mrs.Fay heard "TS",she accepted the thought that she was dying without analysis.The idea moved from her thinking mind,past her gatekeeper into her automatic system,which then worked against her and led to physical failure.Her own thoughts and feelings became harmful. The nocebo effect is not always limited to causing harm.In 1962,a group of researchers in Japan worked with 13 children who were seriously allergic to poison ivy.The researchers rubbed a harmless leaf on the forearm of each child but claimed it was poison ivy.They rubbed the other forearm with poison ivy but said it was something else. The results were surprising.All the children got a rash (on the arm touched with the harmless leaf,but 11 out of 13 didn't get a rash on the arm touched with poison ivy.The children changed what was expected to happen.Their new experience wasn't controlled by past experiences.As soon as they accepted,believed,and didn't question that the leaf was safe or dangerous,their level of suggestibility changed how their bodies reacted.We could say that the thought of the poison ivy being safe was stronger than actually touching the leaf,and the other way around. The good news is,if our minds can make us sick,they can also help us heal.If we truly believe in the good feelings and don't doubt them,we can retrain our bodies to follow this new and positive mind. 第10页（共12页） 2025-2026学年度第二学期初二年级期中测验（英语学科) 48.What do we know about Mrs.Fay's story? A.The trainee doctors found something wrong. B.She died of a serious heart problem called TS. C.Her thought of dying worsened her condition. D.Dr.Lown made a mistake that led to her death. 49.What does "the 13 children allergic to poison ivy"experiment prove? A.Past experiences often guide future reactions. B.Suggestibility can reshape expected outcomes. C.The nocebo effect supports and produces suggestibility. D.Poison ivy causes physical response to those who are allergic. 50.What is the writer trying to tell us? A.Recognizing health condition is hard due to many factors. B.We have the choice to turn harmful beliefs into helpful ones. C.The thinking and automatic minds often work against each other. D.Health problems can be treated with suggestibility and nocebo effect. 六、阅读表达（每题2分，共8分) 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 China's Cyber Security Centre has given out a second warning about OpenClaw, an Al tool that is becoming very popular across the country.While many local govemments and tech companies are rushing to use it,experts say if it is used wrongly,it can lead to serious security problems.The warnings highlight the growing pressure between the strong wish for new technology and the need to protect private information. What is OpenClaw? OpenClaw was created by Austrian developer Peter Steinberger late last year.It is an AI that can carry out tasks for users,such as replying to emails and writing work reports.It acts like a digital secretary that works 24 hours a day without human help. Users simply give it instructions,and the AI deals with the rest,saving people valuable time and effort in their busy schedules. What are the dangers? The tool brings two main risks.First is hacking.Hackers trick the AI into stealing users'passwords.Second is operational mistakes,because the AI might cross out important files by accident and cause huge data loss.These risks are especially worrying for businesses and government offices. Why is it still popular? Although there are the warnings,OpenClaw remains a hit across China.Big tech companies like Alibaba Cloud,ByteDance,and Tencent are competing to offer easy access(路径)toit.Tencent even started“QClaw"”specially for WeChat and QQ users, making it very convenient for millions of people.What's more,local governments in 第11页（共12页） 2025-2026学年度第二学期切二年级期中测验（英道学科） cities like Shenzhen and Foshan actively support its use with subsidies (and free downloading services,hoping to increase local tech development. What should users do? China's Cyber Security Centre advises users to check settings carofully and turn off unnecessary public access to reduce risks.Education about safe usage is also important.While new Al tools bring great convenience to people's work and daily life, it is important for everyone to pay close attention to their possible dangers.Staying informed and watchful is the key to safely using this powerful technology. 51.What can OpenClaw do for users? 52.What are the two main risks of OpenClaw? 53.What advice does China's Cyber Security Centre give to OpenClaw users? 54.Do you think Openclaw is a useful tool?Why or why not? 书面表达（共18分） 七、完成句子（每小题2分，共8分） 55.英语演讲比赛将于下周举行。(hold) 56.她太害羞了，不敢在全班面前讲话。（too..to..) 57.谢谢您帮我解决这个问题。(thank sb.for) 58.每一位团队成员都应该承担贵任。(should) 八、文段写作（共10分） 59.请根据中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的英语文段写作。所给提示 词语仅供选用。请不要写出你的校名和姓名。 在学习和生活中，我们常常需要与他人合作完成任务。一次难忘的团队合作 经历，不仅能让我们感受到集体的力量，也能帮助我们更好地认识自己与他人的 长处。某英文网站正在开展以“The Power of Teamwork”为主题的征文活动。请 你用英文写一篇短文投稿，描述你的一次团队合作经历，介绍你是如何与队友共 同协作的，并谈谈你的收获。 提示词语：task,discuss,improve,,strength,.proud 内容提示：·What was your teamwork experience?
