Valkyrie NASA's "superhero"robot is 6 feet 2 inches in height and was originally designed for use on the International Space Station.Valkyrie is able to walk by itself,pick up objects and use tools.NASA hopes that one day,it can help humans in danger zones and disaster-stricken areas.The robot is basically a she-bot since it was built with the characteristics of women. Schaft This robot,made by a Japanese company (which was later bought by Google),won the recent DARPA robotics competition.The 4 feet 11 inches in height robot can power itself instead of a battery. This gives it greater movement since batteries limit how fast the robot can actually perform tasks.Schaft blew the competition away. Ian the Invincible Ian,based on the Atlas robot,is created by Google-owned,Boston Dynamics.The 6 feet 2 inches in height robot has 28 hydraulically actuated joints and stereo vision.What makes Ian unique is the software which allows him to drive a car.Ian came second at the Robo-Olympics,but the 330pound giant still has 高二下期考英语试卷第2页（共8页） quite a way to go Telebot Still under development at Florida Interational University,Telebot will give injured and disabled police officers an opportunity to go back to work.The robot is 180 cm in height,travels on whcels and is remote controlled.Three HD cameras give Telebot a 360 degree view and with multiple sensors,it helps cops to monitor any dangerous situation from a safe distance. 21.What can we learn about Valkyrie?

B Jewel Michael may only be 15,but she has already proven that a crown can be more than a symbol of beauty---it can be a tool for change.The young pageant(选美比赛)queen has carned national and international recognition,securing titles including Miss Teen Pearl of Africa and first runner-up at Miss Universe. The newly crowned Miss Teen Pearl of Africa 2025 has launched an education foundation to provide school fees and learning materials to underprivileged children in Adjumani District,a remote region in northern Uganda where conflict and poverty have long denied young people access to quality schooling. General Salim Saleh,the chief guest at the launch,contributed 35 million shillings to kick-start the initiative. "Winning the title gave me a platform,"Jewel said."I had four cousins,most of them dropped out of school-one due to financial problems,and one due to early pregnancy.This inspired me to start this foundation to help young girls.I looked around my community-children sitting under trees trying to learn,girls dropping out because they cannot afford basic hygiene ()products-and I knew I had to act” The foundation will provide scholarships to 500 children,upgrade facilities in ten schools,and improve hygiene conditions.It will also pay tuition fees,provide uniforms,and ensure daily meals for sponsored students.Jewel has partnered with local women's groups to produce reusable hygiene products, tackling a major cause of girls'dropping out."I was lucky to have parents who fought to keep me in school.But so many others are not so lucky,"she told the Monitor. Community leaders praised the teenager for channelling her success into community development. "Jewel is showing us that leadership is not about age-it's about heart,"said one elder."Education is the only way out of poverty,"Jewel said."If I can help just one child stay in school,this crown will have been worth it.” 24.What inspired Jewel to start the foundation? A.Her pageant titles and fame. B.Her parents'fight to keep her in school. C.The financial support from General Salim.

C.Upgrade school facilities. D.Offer daily meals. 27.Which of the following best describes Jewel? A.Ambitious and competitive B.Wealthy and proud C.Responsible and caring D.Talented and lucky c Scientists regard recreational divers as an unexpected helper in protecting ocean ecosystems.Once considered ordinary reef visitors,these ocean lovers have become a vital citizen science force for marine conservation.With frequent underwater access and good social connections,they effectively turn environmental awareness into practical protective action. The Marine Conservation Society (MCS)conducted a two-year study on 50 Mediterranean diving communities via its "Reef Keepers"program.It provided pocket-sized waterproof eco-guides at popular dive centers,offering simple tips on sustainable diving,such as avoiding coral contact and reporting plastic waste or invasive species. MCS lead researcher Dr.Elena Marquez explains that coral reefs are extremely fragile and recover very slowly.Simple and easy-to-understand tips can remind divers of their behavioral impacts on oceans. Tiny adjustments in diving habits can bring huge long-term bencfits to coral protection. The study shows impressive results:68%of divers changed their underwater behaviors after reading the guides,including picking up litter and sharing eco-tips with partners.More than half of them also discussed ocean conservation with relatives and friends after diving,spreading environmental influence far beyond dive sites. Researchers believe divers have untapped potential to integrate marine protection into daily life. They call for global promotion of such programs and professional training for divers to monitor reef health, stating that public ocean protection movements start with ordinary divers'small efforts. Nevertheless,some experts hold different views.They argue that citizen science projects can never replace professional supervision and strict regulations.Individual efforts have limited effects without tough laws against pollution and overfishing.Even so,the study proves that emotional connection with the ocean greatly motivates people to protect it. 28.What are the eco-guides from the program intended for? A.Introducing eco-friendly dive sites. B.Starting conversations between divers. C.Reporting plastic garbage in the ocean. D.Drawing divers'attention to ocean conservation. 29.What is mainly talked about the Reef Keepers Guides in paragraph 4? A.Their background. B.Their limitation. C.Their influence. D.Their simple tips. 30.What does the underlined word "untapped"in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A.Not fully used. B.Widely recognized. C.Highly developed. D.Clearly misunderstood. 高二下期考英语试卷第4页（共8页） 31.What is the author's attitude towards the "Reef Keepers"program? A.Fully skeptical. B.Cautiously positive. C.Strongly critical. D.Uninterested. D Ever caught yourself unconsciously tapping your foot or humming a tune?That's an"earworm"-a catchy melody that kecps looping (in your mind.Though most see such recurring tunes as annoying distractions,scientists are exploring how earworms can serve as practical tools for leaming, memory and mental well-being. Psychologists from the University of Sheffield carried out a two-weck study on 200 participants, asking them to record their carworm experiences.The research showed that people with earworms felt less tired and more concentrated when doing dull,repctitive work such as sorting clothes or entering data. Some even reported that a looping song made long joumeys feel shorter.Besides,students with earworms during study breaks achieved slightly higher scores in vocabulary tests. Researchers explain that earworms work by occupying the brain's background attention.When the mind lacks stimulation,it tends to wander into negative or useless thoughts.A simple familiar tune acts as a gentle mental anchor,stabilizing focus without extra effort.Unlike active music-listening,which may distract people,carworms run passively in the background,frecing conscious brainpower for the task ahead. Yet earworms are not always beneficial.The study also found that they disturb concentration during complex tasks like essay writing or problem-solving.Lead researcher Dr.Rachel Kelly compares earworms to a distant radio:it serves as harmless background noise for simple work but becomes unavoidable disturbance when dealing with difficult tasks. Fortunately,people can make use of this effect actively.Deliberately learning short,repetitive melodies and humming them mentally during routine work can bring the same focus-improving benefits. As Dr.Kelly puts it,the brain is fond of patters,and earworms are typical mental pattems.Making good use of them instead of resisting them may turn out to be an overlooked simple way to raise work efficiency. 32.What does“earworm”refer to in Paragraph1? A.A harmful insect. B.Astudy method for students C.Alooping melody in mind. D.A stress-related mental illness. 33.What did the Sheffield study discover about earworms? A.They increase anxiety greatly. B.They benefit boring repetitive work. C.They improve all task performance. D.They help memory with no effort. 34.Why does the author mention a distant radio? A.To show earworms have double-sided effects. B.To explain the cause of background noise. C.To prove earworms are hard to ignore. D.To recommend radio as a focus helper. 35.What is the best title for the text? A.Hidden Risks of Looping Tunes B.Earworms:A Typical Mental Pattern C.Ways to Remove Annoying Earworms D.Earworms:A Surprising Efficiency Helper 第二节（共5小题；每小题25分，满分12.5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。 高二下期考英语试卷第5页（共8页） Measure Backward,Not Forward We often measure progress by looking forward.We set goals and plan milestones to predict the future in various fields.For example,can we increase our earnings by 20 percent?Can we lose 20 pounds in the next 3 months?These are all forward-looking measurements.36 Nearly every improvement we wish to make in life requires changes to our daily behaviors.Yet habits become so routine that we barely notice them.The more automatic a behavior is,the harder it is for us to spot its influence.This explains why bad habits often hold us back without our awareness.37 That's because this approach encourages us to reflect on recent actions and evaluate our choices and progress. 38When measuring backward,we get to enjoy the progress we have made,instead of endlessly longing for an ideal future.We don't have to put happiness off until we reach a future milestone or goal.Happiness is not just a finish line waiting far ahead.Focusing on how you can immediately improve over your past is more satisfying than comparing your current state to where you hope you'll be some day. Nevertheless,one warning about this strategy should be kept in mind.39 If I used data from two years ago as a reference to measure progress and make plans,the decisions would surely go wrong.Whether in business,fitness,or personal relationships,using recent results to guide our next actions allows for continuous improvement. Measuring backward does not mean abandoning our goals.40 By shifting focus from what we lack to what we've achieved,we transform the journey of progress from a sourcc of anxiety into a celebration of growth. A.The further back you look,the better. B.There is an additional benefit as well. C.Instead,it reshapes the way we pursue them. D.One effective way is to track your daily habits. E.However,measuring backward is equally effective. F.Measuring backward helps uncover these invisible patterns. G.Short-term feedback should be prioritized over long-term feedback. 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。 It was an ordinary day for a volunteer conservationist,Mike.While driving back home after visiting a relative,he 41 an infant magpie (by the roadside.Little did he know how extraordinary the creature would turn out when he 42 to make an investigation.Covered in blood,the poor chick was held in his palms and brought home.

Somewhere between a bridge and a riverside path,I realized it was gone.Panic hit immediately.I retraced my steps,scanning the ground.Nothing.The late afternoon glow enveloped the city's dim dusk, and even the river scemed too tired to sparkle. I stopped a woman who looked fricndly."Could I borrow your phone to call my lost phone ?"I asked. She handed it over.I dialed.One ring.Two.Three-then a bright,breathless voice came through: "Hello?Is this the owner?We have your phone!"Relief washed over me."We're still here,"the voice continued,.“by the willow tree(柳树).” At the willow,I found four college students,their backpacks in a circle like guarding a small campfire. "You're here!"one said,springing up.I thanked them hurriedly.They just waved,as if waiting an hour for a stranger was the most casual thing in the world.Work was calling,so I had to leave almost immediately. Just before I walked away,one grinned and said,"Good luck in life!" Back home,I dove into work with my phone,until I noticed a new video sitting at the top of the photo gallery:four grinning faces under the willow.I tapped playing it-They shouted,"You lost your phone! But don't freak out-we keep it safe!"Then one added,"Check out what a cool video this phone could shoot!""If you're seeing this,it means you've made it back.Good luck in life!"Watching this,I laughed genuinely. 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。 Para 1:I realized that I had never recorded such a video with my phone Para 2:Later,I decided to post my own"Good Luck"video online. 高二下期考英语试卷第8页（共8页） 南宁二中2025-2026学年度下学期高二期末考试答案 [听力] 1—5 BCBCC 6—10 BABCC 11—15 BBABC 16—20 AABCA [A 篇] 21-23 BDC [B 篇] 24-27 DBAC [C 篇] 28-31 DCAB [D 篇] 32-35 CBAD [七选五] 36-40 EFBGC [完形填空] 41-45 CDBDD 46-50 CBADA 51-55 CBBDC [语法填空] 56. encountered 57.

From my perspective, it is highly advisable to attach delicate illustrations to the collection. Vivid pictures with travel texts can improve the album’s visual appeal and highlight unique features of those landmark attractions, turning the book into a more touching and precious memory keepsake. I’m willing to take charge of the drawing work. With solid hand-drawing skills and enough spare time lately, I can finish scenic paintings efficiently. I am familiar with these iconic attractions, which guarantees satisfying artwork. I’d appreciate it if you could accept my idea and application. Looking forward to your reply. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 读后续写范文赏析 I laughed genuinely and realized that I had never recorded such a video with my phone. I replayed the touching video repeatedly, staring at their cheerful faces. For a long time, my phone merely served as a working tool buried in endless tasks, leaving me worn-out and numb. Suddenly, the casual words struck my heart deeply. I still recalled the moment I hurried to leave. Before parting, one student smiled and said, “Hope everything goes well with you.” Their pure kindness woke me up from the busy routine. I decided to note down this unforgettable experience and share the precious warmth with more people around me. Later, I decided to post my “Good luck” video online. The video soon drew plenty of attention, and numerous netizens shared their own warm encounters with strangers. Inspired by the positive feedback, I gradually changed my attitude towards life. I began to capture trivial beautiful scenes in daily life with my phone instead of focusing solely on work. Whenever I came across people in trouble, I would reach out to offer a hand voluntarily. This pleasant experience tells me true luck lies in mutual kindness. Small warm acts can form a loving chain and brighten the whole world. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
