Being fond of doing physics experiments, I immediately teamed up with three classmates. Our goal was to conduct an experiment exploring renewable energy solutions—a topic we felt could make a significant contribution to environmental protection. The initial stage was full of agony. Emma, our team leader, often reminded us, “Loose lips sink ships—let’s keep our ideas secret.” Despite her warning, Jake leaked our plan by accident during lunch break. This forced us to adjust our design, which pushed our timeline beyond expectations. During the final week, the pressure became unbearable. Sarah, usually the calmest among us, even yelled at me for a minor math error. “Let’s take a breath,” Emma interrupted, handing out water bottles. Her ability to stay calm under pressure amazed me. We worked through nights, following scientific procedures with precise measurements. Our perseverance finally paid off when we were able to generate steady energy output using recycled materials. On presentation day, my hands shook as I demonstrated our model. The judges smiled when we explained how wind-powered generator could provide sufficient energy for emergency shelters during natural disasters. One professor remarked, “Your strategy for addressing energy threats is exceptionally creative for high school students.” Though we didn’t win first prize, the experience taught me a very important lesson. True creativity requires not just intelligence, but the courage to step out of your comfort zone. As I later wrote in my journal: “Every effort, even those that end in failure, plants seeds for future mental cure against self-doubt.” Walking past the disaster relief posters on my way home, I realized science isn’t just about formulas (公式)—it’s about weaving kindness into every discovery. That day, I promised myself to never hesitate when an opportunity present itself. 41. What was the author’s main reason to team up with his classmates? A. To win the science competition. B. To compete with other schools. C. An interest in renewable energy projects. D. A passion for doing physics experiments. 42. What caused the team to change their design? A. A minor math error in the design. B. A change in the competition rules. C. The plan’s accidental leak. D. The team leader’s warning. 43. What can be learned about Emma’s role in the team? A. She was not involved in decision-making. B. She was calm and supportive under pressure. C. She contributed mainly to technical work. D. She had little confidence in the team’s success. 44. Why does the author mention the comment from the professor? A. To highlight the students’ creativity. B. To criticize the team’s lack of preparation. C. To explain the function of the model. D. To express the support for the teachers. 45. How does the author find the science competition experience? A. It was stressful and unpleasant. B. It was about earning recognition. C. It was an easy task with little effort. D. It was challenging and valuable. (C) Imagine running for hours. Your legs ache, your breath feels heavy, and your body shouts, “Stop!” Yet, something deeper speaks quietly and firmly, “Keep going.” This quiet voice is mental strength-the hidden force that helps us push through pain and tiredness. In sports like long-distance running or cycling, the challenge is not only physical. Many athletes say the hardest battle is in their mind. When muscles burn and energy has run out, mental strength steps in. It is like a friend who says, “You can do it,” even when every step feels very hard. How does this work? Our bodies and minds don’t always agree. The body senses pain and wants rest, but the mind can say, “This is tough, but I can handle it.” For example, a runner might focus on small goals: “Just reach that tree ahead,” and then, “Now reach the next lamp post.” Breaking big tasks into tiny steps tricks the brain into moving forward. Pain is part of the journey. But mentally strong people don’t avoid it — they learn to deal with it. They speak calmly to themselves: “Yes, this hurts, but it won’t last forever.” They also remember their “why”-like wanting to finish a race for a loved one or to prove to themselves they can. Interestingly, mental strength grows with practice. Daily habits help build it: trying a new skill despite fear, or smiling after making a mistake. Even small actions help build inner strength. And no one does it alone. Support from friends, family, or teammates adds fuel to that inner fire. Scientists call this “grit” or “perseverance.” It’s not about being fearless or never feeling tired. It’s about saying, “I might feel weak now, but I won’t let that stop me.” Like a tree bending in the wind but not breaking, mental strength lets us adapt and keep growing. So next time you face a challenge-big or small-listen to that quiet voice. It’s stronger than you think. 46. What does the author compare mental strength to? A. A quiet but firm inner voice. B. A scientific problem in running. C. A lamp post marking progress. D. A supportive running partner. 47. According to Para. 3, breaking tasks into small steps helps athletes by ________. A. reducing physical pain significantly B. creating achievable short-term goals C. allowing more time for body recovery D. developing teamwork with supporters 48. How do mentally strong people deal with pain according to Para. 4? A. They avoid thinking about the source of pain. B. They use medicine to control the physical pain. C. They accept the pain with strong purpose. D. They compare it with others’ painful experiences. 49. According to Para 5, what daily habits can help build mental strength? A. Avoiding all kinds of challenging situations. B. Completing tasks only when fully energized. C. Practicing skills after mastering them perfectly. D. Keeping pushing through daily small challenges. 50. What is the best title for the passage? A. Science of Physical Exercises B. The Quiet Power inside Us C. Team Support in Sports Challenges D. The Mental Challenges in Sports (D) Because of busy lifestyles and work stress, more Chinese people are now turning to AI tools like DeepSeek to talk about their problems. They share feelings with the chatbot and receive warm advice. This practice, known as “AI therapy(疗愈),” is becoming popular online. But can robots really replace human therapists? Around the world, 45 percent of people who needed mental health care in 2024 did not get it because it was too expensive or there weren't enough doctors, according to Huntington Psychological Services. Daniel Lowd, an associate professor at the University of Oregon, believes AI could help fill this gap. “If people can find some support and ideas by talking to ChatGPT or chatbot, then I think that's wonderful,” Lowd told Newsweek. Li Yong, a doctor at the Jiangsu Province Hospital, agreed with Lowd, saying that AI meets people’ s basic needs for emotional support to a point. However, AI has its limits(限制). Human therapists understand feelings deeply through face-to-face talks and create suitable treatment plans— something robots can't fully copy. Dr. LiuYang, a Beijing-based psychologist(心理学家), notes “An AI might recognize keywords like ‘divorce’ or ‘layoff’, but it cannot find out small emotional shifts in tone or body language”. This point becomes important when dealing with a series of situations, where misunderstandings could be dangerous. Another problem is safety. AI might act like a therapist without proper training or rules. It cannot match the level of responsibility that human therapists have. Experts believe the key to safe AI therapy is strict government control. For example, Wysa, an AI mental health app, follows strict medical standards in the UK. Data privacy appears as another large concern (担忧). Users usually share personal details on AI platforms, yet few companies clearly state how this information is stored or used. In 2024, a major Chinese mental health app faced criticism when users found their chats were being analyzed for advertising algorithms (算法). As AI becomes part of daily life, finding a balance between its benefits and risks is important. While AI offers quick help, human connection remains irreplaceable for serious emotional needs. 51. What makes people turn to “AI therapy”? A. AI therapy is warmer. B. AI tools are free. C. People feel much pressure. D. DeepSeek is popular. 52. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Mental health care. B. The AI tool. C. The medical standard. D. The government control. 53. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. AI therapy is nicer and cheaper than human therapists. B. AI robots will soon replace human therapists in hospitals. C. AI can perfectly copy human therapists’ skills and methods. D. AI has limits in understanding deep emotions and safety risks. 54. Why does the writer mention the Wysa app? A. To give an example of safe AI under rules. B. To prove robots can deal with emergencies. C. To show AI is cheaper than human doctors. D. To explain why China needs more therapists. 55. What can we infer from the passage? A. AI therapy will completely replace human therapists. B. AI is useful for basic support but not for serious cases. C. AI can create specialized treatment plans for people. D. Government control is really unnecessary for AI apps. 四、阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题。 阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题。 Volunteering takes up our time, energy, and sometimes money. It can be hard work. It can find us doing and seeing new things, which can be challenging and even a little scary. So why does anyone even go there? On the one hand, volunteering is good for others. The world is not a perfect place, and many people, animals, places, and communities need help. Governments and professionals try to meet everyone’s needs, but it’s impossible for them to do it all. This is why people become volunteers: they can make a difference where someone or something needs help. If people never help each other and only care about themselves, the world becomes a crueler, sadder place. But when we volunteer our time, money or talents, we help to make our planet a better, happier home where people cooperate to make life easier for all. Actually, volunteers and volunteer groups can do many things. They can bring food to hungry people; they can find homes or clothes for those who need them; they can protect wildlife and natural areas; they can bring comfort and happiness to lonely people; and they can help people learn to read or do better in school. On the other hand, volunteering is good for you. Are you thinking, “What’s in it for me?” The answer is, plenty! Here are some of the things you might get in return for your giving. You may make new friends; you may gain important skills and experience that will help you later in life; you may make connections that can lead to a job or career; you may have fun. And most importantly, you may feel like you are part of a community! Hey…it looks like being a volunteer gives as much good stuff to you as it does to the people, places, or animals you’re trying to help! That’s the secret of volunteering. People who become volunteers usually lead richer, happier, and more satisfying lives than those who don’t volunteer. 56. Why do some people want to be volunteers according to Paragraph2? (no more than10 words) 57. What’s the 3rd paragraph mainly about? (no more than 10 words) 58. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “cooperate” in paragraph 2? (no more than 5 words) 59. What will a volunteer’s life be like compared with those who don’t volunteer? (no more than 10 words) 60. What do you think of volunteering? (no more than 20 words) 61. 假设你是高一学生李津，暑假即将到来，你的英国的笔友Jim想了解你如何安排假期，请给他写一封电子邮件，介绍一下你即将到来的假期生活。内容包括： (1)你要安排的活动内容(锻炼身体，读书，旅游等); (2)活动的目的和意义。 (3)祝愿 Jim的假期生活。 注意：(1)词数不少于100; (2)可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯; (3)开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Jin 高一年级第二学期英语月考（2）试卷 一、单选题 【1题答案】 【答案】D 【2题答案】 【答案】D 【3题答案】 【答案】C 【4题答案】 【答案】D 【5题答案】 【答案】D 【6题答案】 【答案】C 【7题答案】 【答案】D 【8题答案】 【答案】A 【9题答案】 【答案】B 【10题答案】 【答案】C 【11题答案】 【答案】B 【12题答案】 【答案】B 【13题答案】 【答案】C 【14题答案】 【答案】B 【15题答案】 【答案】B 二、完型填空 【16~35题答案】 【答案】16.
