Desmos Desmos is mathematical software that is meant to make mathematics easier to learn. It offers interactive lessons and subject matter on many areas of mathematics and graphics (图案制图学). The various tools simplify mathematical terms, and teachers can use them to create inviting lessons and ensure students take an active part. Desmos is free to use online. Quizlet Since its launch in 2005, Quizlet has promoted a convenient and flexible approach to learning. Quizlet focuses on academic subjects such as mathematics, languages and the sciences, and provides study aids such as games, quizzes (小测验) and multimedia to help students memorize information and prepare for exams. Its aim is to promote effective study habits and improve students’ memory of the material. JSTOR JSTOR is a digital library of primary research academic journals and books, most of which are accessible by subscription, though some of them are free. Its aim is to gather trusted content for a wide audience, including students and researchers. Focusing on subjects such as the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences and business studies, JSTOR’s archive (档案库) is updated constantly. 1. How can Desmos help teachers? A. By providing study games. B. By giving online quizzes. C. By making classes livelier. D. By offering digital textbooks. 2. What is a selling point of Quizlet? A. It builds long-term memory. B. It judges students’ study habits. C. It provides academic journals. D. It makes study more engaging. 3. What do the three websites have in common? A. They offer interactive exercises. B. They make learning easier. C. They require paid membership. D. They focus on fun activities. B I first fell in love with acupuncture (针灸) when I realized that it could be a cure for a migraine, a very bad headache that often makes you unable to bear strong light. Before I discovered acupuncture, I tried everything for migraines. Eventually, my battle with migraines started to affect my studies and my relationships with my husband and friends. I couldn’t focus or get my work done. Nothing worked permanently. That was when I decided to give acupuncture a shot. It took a few acupuncture sessions for me to start to notice gradual differences. In time, after following my treatment plan strictly, I went from having migraines more than half the days out of the month to just one or two migraines a month. I noticed I was having improvement with other symptoms as well. As I started to see improvement in my own health, I realized there was so much more to this approach to health and curing than just acupuncture. I started to learn about the Chinese Medicine ideas behind the acupuncture treatments and became attracted to the idea of Qi, or energy, and how it is affected by the seasons, diet, and more. It was my own health journey that eventually led me to my pursuit of my master’s degree in Chinese Medicine in 2014. When my patients come in for their first consultation, many are not aware of all of the potential benefits available to them beyond a simple acupuncture treatment. As a practitioner (执业者) in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), it is my job to listen, determine the range of the problem, educate and create a treatment plan for my patients. What I love about my career is that I have the opportunity to share a number of treatment options including acupuncture, cupping, and dietary recommendations, as well as little at-home tips that make a world of difference. 4. Why did the author try acupuncture? A. Her quality of life declined. B. Her husband and friends advised her to try it. C. She was unable to bear bright light. D. She had known its benefits before migraines. 5. What do we know about the acupuncture treatment? A. It erased the author’s migraines. B. It involved complex treatment plans. C. It worked gradually but effectively. D. It was closely based on the idea of Qi. 6. What did acupuncture bring to the author? A. A higher academic degree. B. A firm decision to study medicine. C. A reputation for treating migraines. D. An interest in Chinese medicine. 7. Which of the following best describes the author as a TCM practitioner? A. Caring but cautious. B. Attentive and considerate. C. Strict but encouraging. D. Knowledgeable and experienced. C The use of AI for specific purposes has increased in recent years. AI has recently helped create and deliver new police services, connect police forces to citizens, build trust, and strengthen relationships with communities. There is growing use of smart solutions such as biometrics (生物识别), facial recognition, smart cameras, and video surveillance (监控) systems. A recent study found smart technologies such as AI could help cities reduce crime by 30 to 40 percent and reduce response times for emergency services by 20 to 35 percent. The same study found that cities have started to invest in real-time crime mapping, crowd management and gunshot detection. Cities are making use of facial recognition and biometrics (84%), and in-car and body cameras for police (55%). However, only 8 percent use data-driven policing. Surveillance is not new, but cities are starting to analyse surveillance data. Cities already collect images for surveillance purposes, but by using AI, images can now be analysed and acted on much more quickly. Machine learning and big data analysis make it possible to sort through huge amounts of data on crime, to identify patterns, correlations and trends. When the right relationships are in place, technology is what supports police forces to better do their job and bring about behaviour change. The final goal is to create flexible systems that can detect crimes and unusual activity, and even contribute to the effectiveness of justice systems. However, experts say it is almost impossible to design widely accepted ethical (伦理的) AI systems because of the great variety of contexts they need to include. Any advances in AI for surveillance and predictive policing need to be accompanied by discussions about ethical and regulatory issues. Even though the value of these technologies might seem attractive from a use case perspective, civil rights need to be protected by proper privacy and human rights regulations. 8. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about? A. AI’s role in security. B. AI’s use in daily life. C. AI’s significance to trust. D. AI’s value in solving crimes. 9. Why does the author list the numbers in paragraph 2? A. To criticize traditional policing. B. To show AI’s wide acceptance. C. To prove the effectiveness of AI. D. To compare crime control methods. 10. How does AI support police work through surveillance? A. By collecting images faster. B. By analysing data to spot patterns. C. By instructing police decisions. D. By predicting future crime types. 11. What is experts’ attitude toward AI in surveillance? A. Hopeless. B. Favorable. C. Opposed. D. Mindful. D Economics is the study of how rare resources are distributed; whether that is housing, food, or money. However, in an age of endless amounts of information at our fingertips, what is the rarity? Unlike what can be quantified and measured, our invisible yet extremely valuable attention is the limiting factor: we are in the age of the attention economy. The American Psychological Association defines attention as “a state in which cognitive (认知的) resources are focused on certain aspects of the environment rather than on others.” Attention comes in forms like love, recognition, and help. Although attention is theoretically unquantifiable, many obtain attention’s value from how much time we focus on a particular thing. We face attention’s rarity every day; while “paying attention” to one thing, we ignore others. Similar to money, we exchange attention; you are reading this article right now and probably ignoring the other work you have to do. Our attention has always been limited, valuable, and rare. But what distinguishes the present day is that technological advances have made a huge amount of information available, strategically aimed at attracting our attention. As for the general public, it has never been easier to garner such personal levels of attention through means like social media. However, social media keeps us on the platform longer and wanting more. Anyone can set up an account and have the opportunity for their presence to be seen by millions, but this also increases the pressure to attract more of the increasingly rare resource of attention. As our online social media presence and images are determined by the number of “friends,” “followers” vs. “following,” “likes,” and “subscribers”, comparison is easy. Furthermore, social media sites’ “explore pages” throw endless information at us, hoping that one picture or video will interest us. We can scroll (滚屏) endlessly, and upon finishing a video we will always have a new one to auto-play. However, when our attention is glued to our phones, we abandon other opportunities. 12. What do the underlined words “at our fingertips” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Under our control. B. Ready to share. C. Free to download. D. Easy to access. 13. What is the feature of attention according to the text? A. It is a form of love. B. It involves trade-offs. C. It can be easily measured. D. It can be stored like money. 14. What impact does technology have on attention? A. It intensifies the fight for attention. B. It reduces the quality of attention. C. It makes information easier to spread. D. It changes the nature of attention. 15. What is implied in the last paragraph? A. Social media takes over our attention. B. Social media makes attention easy to get. C. Social media exploits limited attention. D. Social media turns attention into numbers. 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。 For thousands of years, fire has been a regular natural process in Australia, shaping the landscape and impacting the evolution (进化) of its species. ____16____ That is to say, fire has become a fundamental ecological force. Australia’s tendency for severe bush fires is a combination of climate, landscape, and ignition sources. The continent is naturally hot and dry. ____17____ Thus, forests there are exceptionally flammable (易燃的). Strong winds also play a part, carrying burning pieces long distances to start new fires far ahead of the main front. ____18____ Many of the native plants, particularly the dominant eucalyptus forests, are naturally flammable. Eucalyptus trees are rich in volatile (挥发的) oils that can turn into gas at high temperatures, creating a highly flammable atmosphere. These trees also drop large amounts of bark and leaves, which build up on the forest floor as a thick layer of fuel. The final element is the source that starts bush fires. Bush fires can start from natural causes, with lightning strikes being the most common during dry thunderstorms. ____19____ These can range from accidental events like small burning pieces from machinery or fallen power lines, to carelessly managed campfires, and also include acts of setting fires on purpose. The ecological harm of severe bush fires is huge, affecting wildlife, plant life, and the broader environment. For animals, the immediate impact is often deadly, as fast-moving fires endanger mobile species. The effects can be disastrous, as survivors face a landscape lacking food and shelter. ____20____ A. Australia has a high forest coverage rate. B. Australian plants and animals can survive fires. C. Fire has long been part of Australia’s environment. D. That means they are at risk of hunger and being hunted. E. This is often worsened by climatic cycles of low rainfall. F. Human activities are the other major cause of many fires. G. The nature of the Australian bush itself helps fires spread. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 At 30, I became a stepmom to two kids.

Though I missed some of those ____23____, I had two degrees, a big tech job, and a husband. When I first learned my husband had kids, I thought this wouldn’t ____24____, but gave it a try. Online searches for “stepmom” show mostly ____25____ content like “Cruel Truths About Being a Stepmom”. Even a Today Show piece, while well-meaning, kept a serious tone. However, I want to ____26____ this. Parenting is hard for new, step-, grand-, or single parents. Our culture ____27____ perfect families, but they don’t exist. As a professional and stepmom, I’ve learned ____28____ comes from accepting the unexpected, not from ____29____ outcomes, and loving even when uncomfortable. Falling for my husband made me question if I could let go of control. My dad convinced me that kids, whether biological or not, ____30____ need love. Being a stepmom encouraged me to ____31____ ego and choose love over fear. With 4.2 million U.S. kids in stepfamilies, we need to stop ____32____ on “how difficult” step-parenting is. Instead, we should discuss real ____33____: how to let go of ego, love in spite of concerns, and heal past wounds through stepkids. Accepting parenting’s ____34____ and choosing love daily make us better parents, ____35____, and people. 21. A. fortune B. question C. experience D. schedule 22.

A game called chuiwan (捶丸), meaning “hit ball,” ____37____ (be) popular during the Song Dynasty (960–1279). ____38____ (player) used up to ten clubs to hit wooden balls at brightly colored flags. They had a long-distance club similar ____39____ a modern driver, and the tee was called the “ji” (base).

Chuiwan seems to have died out during the Qing Dynasty (1644–1912). Meanwhile, golf ____43____ we know it started in Scotland in the 15th century. The first rules were written in 1744, and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews later became the governing body. The debate over who invented golf may continue, but chuiwan, played by Chinese emperors 1,000 years ago, is certainly ____44____ royal and ancient game. And it was the Scots ____45____ invented the “19th hole” — enjoying a drink at the clubhouse bar after a round. 第四部分 书面表达（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，你校将以班级为单位举办英语才艺展。外教Sherry提出歌唱比赛和微电影表演两种形式供大家选择。请给Sherry写一封邮件，内容包括： 1. 你的选择； 2. 说明理由。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Sherry, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Kevin had just graduated from medical school with a doctorate. He had mastered countless medical theories and advanced treatment methods. When he stepped into the city’s top hospital as a new doctor, his eyes were full of enthusiasm. “Ten years of hard study will pay off here. I’ll save many lives,” he often told himself. However, the reality was far from what he expected. Once, an elderly patient with mild heart disease asked anxiously, “Doctor, is my condition serious? Will I get better soon?” Kevin replied matter-of-factly, “Your heart function is declining. If you don’t take medicine on time, you might lose your life.” The patient was so frightened that he burst into tears, and his family immediately filed a complaint against Kevin for scaring the patient. Another time, a young father brought his child to see Kevin. The child had a high fever, and Kevin ordered several expensive tests and prescribed brand-name medicines without hesitation. The father hesitated and said, “Doctor, these tests and medicines are a bit costly. Is there a cheaper alternative?” Kevin frowned (皱眉) and said, “If you want your child to recover quickly, you have to pay for them.” The father had no choice but to borrow money to cover the expenses, and later he also complained about Kevin for not considering his economic situation. Within a month, Kevin received three complaints. He felt blue and went to talk to Dr. Lily, the department director. “Dr. Lily, I don’t understand. I always give patients the most professional treatment based on my knowledge. Why do they keep complaining about me?” he asked with confusion. Dr. Lily clapped him on the shoulder gently and said, “Kevin, being a good doctor is not just about having excellent medical skills. You also need to understand patients’ feelings and needs. Tim, who joined the hospital with you, is doing a great job. Why not observe how he works?” 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。 After thinking twice, Kevin decided to follow Lily’s tips. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Gradually, Kevin gained a new understanding of his job. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2026河北定州中学高一下学期期末 英语试卷 （试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟） 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1．Who has a cat?

Compared with the chorus, microfilm allows us to show more talent. We can write English scripts, practice acting, and even try filming and editing. It’s a great chance to use English in a lively way, instead of just reciting lyrics. Also, working on a microfilm needs teamwork: some write, some act, and others handle technical work. This helps us understand each other better while improving our English. I believe it will make the talent show more interesting. Thanks for offering the two options! Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 【47题答案】 【答案】例文 After thinking twice, Kevin decided to follow Lily’s tips. The next day, he walked into Tim’s consulting room quietly, standing by the door. He saw Tim dealing with an elderly patient who worried about his high blood pressure. Instead of listing medical terms directly, Tim smiled and said comfortingly, “Uncle, your blood pressure is a bit high yet manageable. Let’s adjust your diet first. If that doesn’t work, we’ll use mild medicine.” The patient nodded, looking reassured. Later, when a lady complained about pricey tests, Tim checked again, saying, “I’ll cancel two non-essential tests.” The lady thanked him repeatedly. Gradually, Kevin gained a new understanding of his job. He realized that excellent medical skills alone were not enough to make a truly good doctor. Patients needed not only professional treatment but also warmth, understanding and respect. He began to communicate with them patiently, explain conditions in simple and comforting words, and choose suitable and affordable medical plans. As he put himself in patients’ shoes, he won their trust and finally understood that a good doctor treats both diseases and hearts. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
