B The old bookstore was a maze of tall shelves, smelling of old paper and forgotten stories. For Leo, it was a safe place. He had spent his summer holiday here, not just as a customer, but as a helper for Mr. Evans, the older owner. On his last day before school started, Leo found a thin, leather-covered book hidden behind a pile of maps. Its title, “Horizons,” was hard to see. As he looked through it, he saw it was a diary, filled with detailed drawings of stars and notes written by hand about faraway places. On the final page, the writer had written a single, sad line: “I have spent my life reading about adventures, but was too afraid to have my own.” Leo felt a strange connection. He brought the diary to Mr. Evans, who fixed his glasses and sighed. “Ah, that belonged to a young man who used to spend his days here, much like you. He always said he would see the world one day.” Mr. Evans looked around the quiet shop. “He died last year, never having left this town.” Leo left the bookstore that evening, the thought of the unlived life heavy on his mind. He didn’t go straight home. Instead, he walked up the hill at the edge of town, a place he’d always planned to visit. Watching the sunset color the sky, Leo understood. Some stories are not just to be read, but to be lived. He promised himself that his own last page would be different. 4．How did Leo probably feel when he read the last page of the diary? A．Angry and upset. B．Bored and tired. C．Happy and amused. D．Moved and thoughtful. 5．What was the main regret of the diary’s owner? A．He never left the old town. B．He never lived a happy life. C．He never left the old bookstore. D．He never followed his dream to travel. 6．What is the meaning of the underlined word in the last paragraph? A．Unknown. B．unrealized. C．Unbelievable. D．Unlucky. 7．What can we learn from this story? A．We should live our own life. B．We should not only read stories. C．We should open our own last page. D．We should take the first step to climb hills. C Two years ago, two high-school classmates each composed a mathematical wonder — a trigonometric proof of the Pythagorean theorem (毕达哥拉斯定理的三角证明). Now, at age 19, they’ve reported finding 10 more proofs of it. For 2,000 years, such proofs were considered impossible. But that didn’t discourage Ne’ Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson, who published their new proofs on October 28 in American Mathematical Monthly, showing “you can make a splash (引人注目) even as a high-school student”. The teens tackled Pythagoras’ theorem. In 1927, mathematician Elisha Loomis claimed that it could never be proved using trigonometry. But in 2009 mathematician Jason Zimba announced the first trig-based proof of Pythagoras’ theorem. The second came six years later from mathematician Nuno Luzia. These were the only two until 2022, when Jackson and Johnson presented their first proofs, both seniors at St. Mary’s Academy. “This proved to be the most challenging task of all,” they noted in their paper. They had to write up their work and learn new skills, like coding. But working on the early proof “inspired the creative process.” Jackson says. Jackson and Johnson only published five proofs and decided to leave another five proofs “for interested readers to discover”, they wrote in the paper. Publishing the proofs was a big achievement. But that doesn’t mean the story is over. Now, “other people might take the paper and generalize those proofs, or generalize their ideas,” mathematician Lozano-Robledo says. “It just opens up lots of mathematical conversations.” Jackson hopes the proofs will inspire other students to “see that difficulties are part of the process. Sticking with it, you might find yourself achieving more than you thought possible.” 8．Why are some mathematicians mentioned in the text? A．To reveal the pressure they put on the two girls. B．To explain their proofs of Pythagoras theorem. C．To prove the greatness of the two girls’ achievements. D．To stress the difference of their views of the theorem. 9．What will be the result of publishing the proofs according to Lozano-Robledo? A．The proofs will be promoted. B．It will lead to more conflicts. C．It will shock senior mathematicians. D．Pythagoras’ theorem will be corrected. 10．What does Jackson wish for? A．Discovery of another five proofs. B．Students’ perseverance facing difficulty. C．Students’ great interest in mathematics. D．Proper use of trigonometry in daily life. 11．What message can we get from the passage? A．Well begun is half done. B．It is never too old to learn. C．Age is just a number, not a state of mind. D．A small star can also shine in the darkness. D Recently, Lei Jun announced Xiaomi’s self - developed mobile phone chip, Xuanjie O1 (玄戒 O1), which has attracted widespread attention. This is a significant step for Xiaomi in the technology field.​ The Xuanjie O1 chip uses the advanced second-generation 3-nm process technology. With 19 billion transistors packed in a small area, it shows strong computing power. The chip has a 10-core CPU and a 16-core GPU. In terms of performance, it has reached the first-echelon level in the industry. For example, in some benchmark tests, its scores are comparable to those of chips from well-known international manufacturers.​ The development of this chip was not easy. Since 2021 when the “Xuanjie” project was restarted, Xiaomi has invested over 13.5 billion yuan in four years. A team of more than 2500 people has been working hard on it. They have overcome numerous technical difficulties, such as optimizing the layout of transistors to improve the chip’s performance and power efficiency.​ The launch of the Xuanjie O1 chip also has great significance for Xiaomi. It helps Xiaomi reduce its dependence on external chip suppliers. In the past, like many other mobile phone manufacturers, Xiaomi mainly relied on foreign chip suppliers. Now, with its own chip, Xiaomi can better control the core technology of its products and enhance its competitiveness in the global smartphone market.​ 12．What process technology does the Xuanjie O1 chip use?​ A．The first-generation 3-nm process technology.​ B．The second-generation 3-nm process technology.​ C．The 5-nm process technology.​ D．The 7-nm process technology.​ 13．How many transistors does the Xuanjie O1 chip have?​ A．10 billion.​ B．16 billion.​ C．19 billion.​ D．25 billion.​ 14．What is the significance of the Xuanjie O1 chip for Xiaomi?​ A．It increases Xiaomi’s dependence on external chip suppliers.​ B．It makes Xiaomi’s products more expensive.​ C．It helps Xiaomi reduce its dependence on external suppliers and enhance its competitiveness.​ D．It has no practical significance for Xiaomi.​ 15．How much has Xiaomi invested in the “Xuanjie” project in four years?​ A．Over 10 billion yuan.​ B．Over 13.5 billion yuan.​ C．Over 20 billion yuan.​ D．Over 25 billion yuan.​ 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。 The Power of a Personal Journal Keeping a daily journal is one of the most powerful and beneficial habits you can develop. It is more than just a record of your life; it is a tool for self-expression, reflection, and personal growth. 16 For many successful writers and thinkers, it’s their first step into daily writing discipline. A key benefit of keeping a journal is better self-understanding. Writing down your thoughts and feelings forces you to clarify them. 17 This process gives you new insights into your values and life goals, creating a space for honest self-conversation. 18 The more you write, the better you express ideas clearly. You can experiment with new vocabulary, different sentence structures, and various writing styles without the pressure of being graded. It’s a private playground for your words. To get started, you don’t need a fancy notebook or special pens. 19 Consistency matters most—spend 10-15 minutes daily. You can write about your day, things you’re grateful for, or challenges you face. You can also focus on daily observations like the weather. The benefits of this simple practice extend far beyond the page. It can reduce stress, spark creativity, and help you solve problems more effectively. 20 You might be surprised by what you discover. A．So, pick up a pen and start writing. B．Keeping a journal also improves writing skills. C．You can also share your journals with your friends for feedback. D．Putting experiences into words can make them easier to understand. E．It is important to write your journal entry at the same time every day. F．It allows you to look within, to recall the past, and to plan for the future. G．A simple notebook or even a document on your computer will work perfectly. 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。 When I was in Grade 9, I joined the school running team.

Mr. and Mrs. Martin wanted to make it warm and lovely, so they decided to do some decorating themselves. That morning, Mrs. Martin stood at the door, reminding her busy husband. “Don’t climb too high, don’t move heavy boxes, and don’t forget to rest,” she said again and again, before she eventually headed out to buy curtains. Earlier, their daughter Emily had called. She said she was tied up with her job in another city, but promised, “Don’t worry, we’ll celebrate together soon.” The couple missed her, of course, but they smiled at each other and agreed it would be meaningful to get the new home ready, a warm welcome awaiting their daughter’s arrival. Mr. Martin waved goodbye to his wife and went back to his decorating work, confident and full of energy at first. But soon the living room turned into a battlefield. Boxes, nails, a hammer and screwdrivers lay everywhere. Paint splashed onto the floor, and the wall looked like a child’s drawing. And several photo frames were scattered on the ground. “A spider!” Mr. Martin climbed onto a shaky stool to chase it away-his wife hated those things — but instead he slipped and broke a photo frame. “Ouch, my back!” he groaned, sweat trickling down his forehead. He began to wonder whether he was really able to do this job alone. Then came a sharp smell from the kitchen. “Oh no, my cake!” Mr. Martin dragged himself to open the oven. The cake, which he had planned to surprise his wife, was now nothing but a hard black rock. He stared at it, shaking his head. “Should I admit the mess? Or pretend nothing happened?” he whispered. Suddenly, the door creaked open. Mrs. Martin stepped inside with the new curtains in her arms. 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。 Paragraph 1: For a moment, Mrs. Martin stood frozen. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: With the new curtains finally in place, the doorbell rang. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 佛山市第一中学2026年高一下学期期中考试 英 语 参 考 答 案 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 C B B D D B A C A B 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 D B C C B F D B G A 题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 B A B A C B A B C B 题号 31 32 33 34 35 答案 C A A B A 36．to 37．estimated 38．generosity 39．to continue 40．a 41．finest 42．its 43．where 44．be accessed 45．numbering 46． Should Community Service be a Requirement for Graduation? As a high school student, I firmly believe that community service should be included as a graduation requirement. Firstly, community service should be a graduation requirement because it benefits society and promotes students’ growth. By volunteering, students develop empathy and social responsibility, which are crucial for personal development. Additionally, they gain invaluable skills like teamwork and problem-solving. If schools mandate community service, students will contribute more to their communities. This requirement fosters compassion and strengthens society, making it essential for education. 47．参考范文： Paragraph 1: For a moment, Mrs. Martin stood frozen. Her eyes widened at the messy living room — paint splatters on the floor, scattered tools, and the broken photo frame. When she spotted the blackened cake in the oven, she let out a soft sigh. Mr. Martin lowered his head in shame, ready for criticism. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Martin walked over and gently touched his back. “Are you hurt?” she asked worriedly. Then she smiled, “We’re decorating a home, not building a palace. Mess is part of the fun.” Together, they started cleaning up, with Mr. Martin sharing his clumsy attempts to chase the spider. Paragraph 2: With the new curtains finally in place, the doorbell rang. It was Emily, holding a big bunch of flowers. She stepped inside and gasped, “Wow, it feels like home already!” Her eyes fell on the slightly messy but warm room, and then on the black cake. Mr. Martin scratched his head awkwardly, but Emily laughed and said, “I love it — it’s full of your love.” That evening, they ordered takeout, talked and laughed while arranging photo frames. The messy living room, once a battlefield, had turned into the warmest corner of their new home. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
