CABGDFE B 15-year-old Cassandra Lin admires ordinary yet unexpected heroes. Inspired by a story about a Malawian boy who built windmills from bicycle parts to power his village, she created an award-winning recycling program in her hometown, Westerly, Rhode Island. This program, Project TGIF (Turn Grease Into Fuel), encourages local people and restaurants to recycle used cooking oil, which is then processed into biodiesel (生物柴油) fuel. The money earned from the program is donated to help heat the homes of needy people in Westerly. That’s exactly what this persistent tenth grader has done. For her, however, it’s just something she does happily with her friends after school. To make the project successful, Cassandra and her team educated themselves thoroughly on the biodiesel refining (提炼) process involving turning used cooking oil into clean, usable fuel through a series of chemical steps. They made their own biodiesel with proper safety measures, got two different youth start-up funds, and persuaded community leaders to support the initiative. They discerned a non-sustainable emergency heating program and the issue of pouring used fats and oils down into drains as key problems in their community. “All of our problems have snowballed together,” Cassandra said. She and her team puzzled over how to combine these problems to get a one-off solution. An article on collecting and recycling cooking oil settled the problem. Cassandra’s leadership, foresight, logical thinking, and creativity were central to the success of TGIF. Her enthusiasm and energy have motivated many to join her cause. Despite her great achievements, Cassandra stays down-to-earth, viewing her efforts as just part of her after-school activities. When reminded that she is featured on social media as a member to the Tunza International Youth Conference on Climate Change in R. O. Korea, keeping a low profile, she responds, “Am I?” 24. What is the aim of Project TGIF? A. To encourage the locals to lead a healthy life. B. To provide science education for teenagers. C. To reduce the use of cooking oil in Westerly. D. To find a green way to process used cooking oil. 25. What does the underlined word “discerned” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Identified. B. Solved. C. Created. D. Predicted. 26. How did Cassandra and her team solve the community’s problems? A. By asking the government for emergency funds. B. By combining different problems into one solution. C. By stopping restaurants from pouring oil into drains. D. By donating money to build windmills in Malawi. 27. Which of the following words can best describe Cassandra? A. Strict and quiet. B. Enthusiastic and honest. C. Creative and modest. D. Humorous and brave. C From Tiger Moms to French Mamas, parents around the world have long argued over the best way to raise their children. A new study adds fresh evidence that extreme “Mom” authoritarian parenting may do more harm than good. The study found that authoritarian parents are significantly more likely to raise disrespectful children with violent behaviors, compared to parents who listen to their kids to build trust. This is the first study to examine how parenting styles shape teens’ views of their parents and, in turn, their daily behavior. Researchers categorize parenting into three broad types based on demand and responsiveness. Authoritative parents are demanding and set clear rules, but they are also warm, caring and responsive to their children’s needs. Authoritarian parents, by contrast, are equally demanding and controlling, but they show little warmth, affection or openness to their kids’ opinions, taking a “my way or the highway” approach. Permissive parents are warm and accepting, but they set few boundaries and rarely enforce rules consistently. Using data from nearly 600 middle and high school students in New Hampshire, from a long-term study of adolescent development, University of New Hampshire researchers found that “my way or the highway” parenting was strongly linked to violent behaviors including robbery, drug use and intentional physical attacks. Firm but loving authoritative parenting, however, resulted in significantly fewer lawbreaking teens. Surprisingly, permissive parenting showed almost no clear positive or negative effect on teens’ behavioral outcomes. To explain this link, researchers said the most important factor is whether children view their parents’ authority as reasonable. This belief develops when kids trust that their parents are making decisions in their best interest, even if they disagree with the rules. When kids respect parental authority genuinely, their behavior improves. Previous studies have also linked firm but caring parenting to better self-control and independence. “When children see their parents as reliable figures, they feel a duty to follow the rules,” said lead researcher Pick Trinkner. “This means parents do not need to rely on rewards and punishments to control behavior, and children will still obey rules even when parents are not present.” 28. What is the main difference between authoritative parents and authoritarian ones? A. Authoritative parents set no rules; authoritarian ones set extremely strict rules. B. Authoritative parents use rewards and punishments; authoritarian ones rely on force. C. Authoritative parents are demanding yet caring; authoritarian ones controlling, not warm. D. Authoritative parents trust their kids completely; authoritarian ones distrust them entirely. 29. What can we infer about permissive parenting from the third paragraph? A. It helps build the closest parent-child relationship. B. It is the most effective way to raise kids with independence. C. It results in as many violent behaviors as authoritarian parenting. D. It has less negative impact on teens’ behavior than authoritarian parenting. 30. Which of the following would Pick Trinkner most probably agree with? A. Kids will never follow rules when their parents are not around. B. Kids’ respect for parental power comes from their trust in parents. C. Rewards and punishments are the best way to control kids’ behavior. D. Kids’ behavioral development depends on rewards and punishments. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Which Parenting Style Works Best? B. Tiger Moms Are Better Than French Mamas. C. The Harm of Authoritarian Parenting to Teenagers. D. How to Raise Respectful and Non-violent Children. D What do astronauts and office workers have in common? More than you might think. A 2026 health study suggests that the exercise astronauts use to fight muscle loss in space can help ordinary people slow down aging and reduce back pain. In space, microgravity causes muscles and bones to weaken at a rapid rate — essentially a form of rapid aging. Research shows that astronauts can experience significant muscle decline in just a matter of months, a process that mirrors what happens to ordinary people over decades of sitting and inactive living. To fight against this, astronauts perform special light exercises that target their deepest core muscles, not the outer stomach muscles most people work on at the gym. Dr. Sarah Mitchell, who led the study, explains: “The muscle loss astronauts experience in months is similar to what happens to normal people over decades of sitting and aging. Scientists have long known that microgravity speeds up physical decline, but our research found that the same exercises that protect astronauts can also benefit those of us on Earth.” So if the astronauts’ routine exercise can turn around their muscle loss, it might also slow down ours. The key lies in activating two small, deep muscles: the multifidus (多裂肌) and transversus abdominis (腹横肌). These muscles act like a natural belt, supporting the backbone. When these muscles become weak, people suffer from back pain, poor body position, and faster physical decline. Traditional exercises like sit-ups often fail to activate them effectively. The study recommends three simple habits: sitting in a chair without leaning back, standing while on phone calls, and practicing balance exercises for just five minutes a day. These ‘anti-gravity’ actions work by keeping deep core muscles constantly but gently activated — similar to how astronauts maintain muscle function in space without heavy equipment. Participants who followed the routine for eight weeks reported significantly less back pain and felt more energetic. Unlike hard workouts that require special equipment and much time, this approach fits easily into daily life. Even small efforts can produce meaningful results. 32. Why do astronauts need to do special light exercises in space? A. To train their outer stomach muscles as in a gym. B. To stop the rapid weakening of muscles and bones. C. To prepare themselves for heavy equipment training. D. To improve their balance before returning to Earth. 33. What can we learn about deep core muscles from Dr. Mitchell’s study? A. They are easy to activate by doing traditional sit-ups. B. They stop working gradually under microgravity conditions. C. They are the main muscles trained in common gym workouts. D. Their condition is closely connected with people’s physical health. 34. What do we know about the three simple habits from the last two paragraphs? A. They require users to maintain special body positions for a long time. B. They were developed for astronauts and then directly given to people. C. Their effectiveness was supported by reports from real participants. D. They work best when combined with traditional gym workouts. 35. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To compare the daily lives of astronauts and office workers. B. To explain how microgravity affects the human body in space. C. To introduce a space-inspired method for improving physical health. D. To advertise a new exercise program that requires special equipment. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Cybersecurity: A Shared Responsibility in the Digital Age The Internet has become an essential part of modern life, connecting people, businesses and governments across the globe. 36 However, this convenience comes with hidden dangers, such as data leaks, cyber fraud and hacking attacks. 37 It refers to the practice of protecting computers, networks and data from digital attacks. These attacks often aim to access, change or destroy sensitive information, or extort money from users. For individuals, cybersecurity means protecting personal privacy and property. Simple habits can greatly reduce risks: using strong passwords, avoiding suspicious links, and not sharing ID numbers or bank details online. 38 Businesses also rely heavily on cybersecurity. A single data leak can lead to huge financial losses and damage to reputation. 39 They need to update security systems regularly and train employees to recognize potential threats. On a national level, cybersecurity is crucial to national security and social stability. Governments around the world are strengthening laws and building advanced defense systems. 40 In short, cybersecurity is not just a job for experts. It is a shared responsibility that requires efforts from individuals, businesses and governments. A. So what exactly is cybersecurity? B. Many people are still unaware of online risks. C. Being careful is the best way to protect ourselves. D. Cybercrime has increased rapidly in recent years. E. It also helps maintain public trust in digital services. F. We can shop, work and communicate online anytime. G. Therefore, companies must take strict security measures. 第三部分 语言知识运用（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。 On a bright Saturday morning, I took part in a volunteer beach cleanup at Jawbone Marine Sanctuary.

Suddenly, he noticed some sparrows were busy building nests. Two of them were building a nest on a decorative tree. Another pair was busy building a nest under the caves (屋檐) of the roof, and the third pair was trying to build a nest among pipes on the wall. Both the brothers became interested and observed how these sparrows bring straws and dry grass to make their nests. Anand was a fourteen-year-old high school student. His ten-year-old brother Vinod studied in primary school. Both of them were clever boys. However, the father was not satisfied with Anand’s studies and hoped he could score more marks in math. Actually, Anand was weak in math, and he was a bit lazy and careless. His mother always told him he could do better if he put in more effort, while Anand said he was trying his hardest. It was Sunday morning, and the weather was fine. Anand, Vinod, and Grandfather were having tea in the backyard after breakfast. Vinod was looking at the wall where two sparrows were trying to set the straws and dry grass in the space between the pipe and the wall, but they failed. Every time the straw or dry grass fell down, the sparrows came down, picked it up, and again tried, but it fell down again. He said to Anand, “These two sparrows are still making their nest, while other sparrows have already made their nests.” Anand said, “I think these two sparrows don’t know how to make a nest.” The next morning, Vinod saw the sparrows were still trying to make a nest by arranging straws and grass, but all their attempts were going in vain. The next day, the whole family was away from home for two days to take part in a marriage ceremony in a nearby city. 注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Returning from the marriage ceremony, when Anand reached his room he heard the fluttering (振翼) of wings __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ “And this applies to you, too.” Anand’s mother said. ____________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年度第二学期期末考试（供选用） 高一年级英语试题参考答案 听力（每小题1.5分，满分30分） 1-5.

During my visit to London recently, I noticed many translation mistakes in Chinese signs at scenic spots. Some expressions are even misleading, which may bring inconvenience to Chinese tourists and affects the city’s image. I sincerely hope your department can check all public Chinese signs carefully. It would be better to invite professional translators to revise them. More accurate translations will help visitors better understand your culture and enjoy the tour. Thank you for your attention and understanding. Yours sincerely, Li Hua Returning from the marriage ceremony, when Anand reached his room, he heard the fluttering of wings. When he looked up, he saw the two sparrows flying over his head. To his amazement, a nearly completed nest was firmly built in the space between the conduit pipe and the wall. The sparrows had finally succeeded! He told his grandfather excitedly about it. The grandfather walked up to Anand with a smile and said, “I knew that these two sparrows would finish building their nest because they were working wholeheartedly and with full confidence. If one works wholeheartedly and with confidence, one will surely get success.” “And this applies to you, too.” Anand’s mother said. Anand looked at his mother. She continued, “If you want to do well in studies, you should study wholeheartedly and regularly.” Staring at the nest, Anand thought of the moments when the sparrows made repeated attempts and their final triumph. He nodded his head slowly, understanding the lesson the little birds had taught him. “You’re right, Mother,” he replied. From then on, he began his studies with a new attitude. Weeks later, Anand scored his highest mark ever in the math test. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
