The great excitement brought by Apollo moon landings made her determine to be an astronaut at the age of seven. As time went by, she clearly realized this dream was hard to come true for personal reasons. “I was a Brazilian girl with poor eyesight,” she frankly said. Instead of feeling upset, she adjusted her dream actively and made up her mind to seek chances to work for NASA all the time. She kept preparing to become an astronomer during her college study and followed her planned career direction quietly. Until her senior year, a sudden violent eruption of Mount Etna totally changed her life path. The grand natural scene touched her inner heart deeply. “It had a sense of adventure for me,” she shared sincerely. This special experience awakened her deep love for volcanic research. She then turned to learn planetary science and volcanology and earned her doctorate smoothly in 1986. In 1989 she bravely abandoned her comfortable and stable job in Britain and joined NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. She has joined many famous space exploration projects and gained great research achievements. She has discovered dozens of active volcanoes in space and also uses professional means to monitor volcanic changes on Earth. In daily life she always tries her best to encourage young people especially girls to pursue science dreams. She believes firmly that sincere curiosity and lasting courage can guide people to make their childhood dreams come true in the field of space exploration. 4. Why did Lopes give up her dream of being an astronaut? A. She had physical limitations. B. She grew tired of space research. C. She failed relevant professional tests. D. She met huge financial pressure. 5. What can we learn about Lopes from her college experience? A. She feared powerful natural forces. B. She focused on geology from freshman year. C. She chose her major under family influence. D. She adjusted her academic direction later. 6. What can we infer about Lopes’ scientific work? A. It mainly aims to develop modern space satellites. B. It covers volcano study in space and on Earth. C. It mostly depends on former space study findings. D. It has removed most volcanic risks around the world. 7. What’s Lopes’ attitude towards young science lovers? A. Supportive. B. Cautious. C. Worried. D. Satisfied. C A new exhibition titled the Beauty of Chinese Painting is now on at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Featuring 90 works drawn almost entirely from the museum’s own collection, the show explores the centuries-old bond between poetry and painting in Chinese art, offering Western audiences a rare window into this unique cultural tradition. Joseph Scheier-Dolberg, the exhibition’s organizer, raises a key question: “When painters sat down to paint in ancient China, why were they so often painting poetic themes?” He explains that poetry was never just a source of inspiration for painters; it was a framework for creating meaning. Many artists did not simply copy scenes described in poems. Instead, they sought to capture the mood, emotion and philosophical ideas behind the words. For example, Tang Dynasty poems by Li Bai and Du Fu inspired countless landscape paintings, where misty mountains and flowing rivers were painted to fit the quiet loneliness or the great charm of the poems. A central part of this tradition is the practice of inscribing poems directly onto paintings. These calligraphic lines, written by the artists themselves or later admirers, add layers of interpretation to the visual work. What appears as a simple landscape might, in fact, carry hidden references to personal feelings, political views or shared cultural memories, making the artwork a conversation between image and text. For Dolberg, the exhibition aims to bridge cultural gaps. “Many Western visitors may not realize that Chinese painting is not just about what you see,” he says. “It is about what you read and what you imagine.” By connecting paintings with their poetic sources, the show helps audiences understand why the saying “Poetry is formless painting; painting is silent poetry” has remained true for centuries. 8. What do we know about the exhibition? A. It is held at a museum in China. B. It displays over 90 newly created artworks. C. It is only open to professional art researchers. D. It explores the link between poetry and painting. 9. What can we infer about ancient Chinese painters from the second paragraph? A. They often changed poems to fit their paintings. B. They focused more on copying poems than creating moods. C. They considered poetry as a way to add depth to their work. D. They refused to paint themes that were not mentioned in poems. 10. What does the underlined word “inscribing” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Removing. B. Writing. C. Copying. D. Hiding. 11. What is the main purpose of the exhibition according to the last paragraph? A. To teach visitors how to write traditional Chinese poems. B. To show Chinese painting is easy for Westerners to understand. C. To help foreign visitors see the hidden meanings in Chinese art. D. To prove poetry is more important than painting in Chinese culture. D AI-powered wearable sensors have gone far beyond the range of ordinary innovative designs. They have evolved into an influential force reshaping modern lifestyle, redefining routine health supervision, human-device interaction and people’s slight emotional sense. Conventional wearables are restricted to basic functions focused on simple fitness data recording; by contrast, the upgraded generation adopts complex machine learning algorithms (算法) to conduct real-time analysis and interpretation of multi-layered physical signals. Attached to the arms or bodies, such complicated sensors are able to capture faint variations in surface temperature, sweat composition and muscle tension status. Through instant data processing and pattern comparison, they can spot early warnings of long-term mental stress, built-up physical exhaustion or abnormal heart rhythm, long before individuals become aware of any obvious discomfort. A trial launched by a British tech institution suggested that most participants failed to notice potential health risks until the sensors gave indirect reminders in advance. Beyond individual health management, the technology is undergoing test application in industrial risk prevention. For high-risk sectors ranging from construction to underground mining, smart wearables can monitor workers’ physical endurance in real time and issue timely alerts once overwork approaches the hidden safety boundary, effectively cutting down avoidable accidents caused by long-term physical overload. Nevertheless, the large-scale popularity of such devices is held back by structural obstacles. Privacy information loss tops the major concerns, as uninterrupted biological data collection may expose personal sensitive information to uncontrolled access. Moreover, technical bottlenecks remain unsolved: existing sensors struggle to maintain steady precision under extreme weather conditions or intense physical movements. Even so, experts hold that future progress in battery durability and data security mechanisms (机制) will determine whether AI wearables can achieve long-term popularization and practical value. 12. What is the core difference between new AI wearables and traditional ones? A. They are designed merely for basic daily fitness tracking. B. They analyze multi-layered physical signals in real time. C. They help people completely get rid of negative emotions. D. They provide professional medical treatment for hidden diseases. 13. What can be concluded from the trial of the British tech institution? A. Few participants realized the value of the sensors. B. The trial was conducted in professional medical labs. C. Participants could sense health risks on their own. D. The sensor’s early warning worked effectively. 14. What does the author imply about AI wearables in paragraph 4? A. Privacy problems have already been well handled. B. Extreme environments hardly affect sensor precision. C. Their wide popularity relies on further technical advances. D. They will replace all traditional medical detection tools. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Advantages and Challenges of AI Wearables B. Bright Future for AI Wearables C. AI Wearables for Personal Health D. Risks of AI-powered Wearables 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5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。 Building Cultural Confidence: A Guide for Young People Cultural confidence is not about ignoring other cultures, but about valuing your own while respecting others.

He had always loved cats, dreaming secretly of having one curled up (蜷缩) at the foot of his bed. However, reading had long been a painful struggle. In the classroom, letters seemed to dance wildly and laugh at him when he tried to understand them. He often stumbled (结结巴巴) over simple words, feeling embarrassed before his classmates. Yet, the chance to spend a quiet afternoon with cats was too wonderful to refuse. He decided to join in, hoping that the cats wouldn’t judge him. On Saturday morning, Samar arrived at the shelter with his dad. A volunteer led him to a soft, gray cat named Max. Thankfully, Max didn’t judge him. He simply climbed onto Samar’s lap, curled into a ball, and closed his eyes. Samar carried him to a corner with a worn-out chair, pulled out his book, Charlotte’s Web, and began to read with many pauses. To his surprise, Max didn’t care when Samar paused or mispronounced words. He didn’t laugh or correct him. Instead, the cat made a low, soft sound. It was the most comforting sound Samar had ever heard, helping him forget his worries. For the first time, he wasn’t reading to pass a test; he was reading to a friend. His voice grew steadier, and the words started to make sense. Samar was very excited to share his progress with his parents. He even told his next-door neighbour, Mrs Patel, about Max and his special experience. Every Saturday after that, Samar visited the shelter without fail. With Max as his silent teacher, his confidence grew rapidly. He once struggled with picture books, but now he happily read longer storybooks. Ms. Desai noticed his improvement right away and later awarded him the “Most Improved Reader” prize in class. Holding the certificate, Samar could not wait to show it to Max. 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。 But when Samar arrived at the shelter that weekend, Max was nowhere to be found. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just then, Samar’s neighbor Mrs. Patel walked into the room, holding Max in her arms. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年7月高二期末质量检测 英语 (考试时间：120分钟;满分：150分) 注意事项： 1．请把答案填写在答题卡上，否则答题无效。 2．答卷前，考生务必将密封线内的项目填写清楚，密封线内不要答题。 3．选择题，请用2B铅笔，把答题卡上对应题目选项的信息点涂黑。非选择题，请用0.5mm黑色字迹签字笔在答题卡指定位置作答。 第Ⅰ卷(选择题) 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你的答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。 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。每段录音读两遍。 1.

Featuring 90 works drawn almost entirely from the museum’s own collection, the show explores the centuries-old bond between poetry and painting in Chinese art, offering Western audiences a rare window into this unique cultural tradition. Joseph Scheier-Dolberg, the exhibition’s organizer, raises a key question: “When painters sat down to paint in ancient China, why were they so often painting poetic themes?” He explains that poetry was never just a source of inspiration for painters; it was a framework for creating meaning. Many artists did not simply copy scenes described in poems. Instead, they sought to capture the mood, emotion and philosophical ideas behind the words. For example, Tang Dynasty poems by Li Bai and Du Fu inspired countless landscape paintings, where misty mountains and flowing rivers were painted to fit the quiet loneliness or the great charm of the poems. A central part of this tradition is the practice of inscribing poems directly onto paintings. These calligraphic lines, written by the artists themselves or later admirers, add layers of interpretation to the visual work. What appears as a simple landscape might, in fact, carry hidden references to personal feelings, political views or shared cultural memories, making the artwork a conversation between image and text. For Dolberg, the exhibition aims to bridge cultural gaps. “Many Western visitors may not realize that Chinese painting is not just about what you see,” he says. “It is about what you read and what you imagine.” By connecting paintings with their poetic sources, the show helps audiences understand why the saying “Poetry is formless painting; painting is silent poetry” has remained true for centuries. 8. What do we know about the exhibition? A. It is held at a museum in China. B. It displays over 90 newly created artworks. C. It is only open to professional art researchers. D. It explores the link between poetry and painting. 9. What can we infer about ancient Chinese painters from the second paragraph? A. They often changed poems to fit their paintings. B. They focused more on copying poems than creating moods. C. They considered poetry as a way to add depth to their work. D. They refused to paint themes that were not mentioned in poems. 10. What does the underlined word “inscribing” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Removing. B. Writing. C. Copying. D. Hiding. 11. What is the main purpose of the exhibition according to the last paragraph? A. To teach visitors how to write traditional Chinese poems. B. To show Chinese painting is easy for Westerners to understand. C. To help foreign visitors see the hidden meanings in Chinese art. D. To prove poetry is more important than painting in Chinese culture. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍纽约大都会博物馆举办的中国画展，讲解中国诗画相融的传统、画上题诗的文化内涵以及展览搭建中外文化沟通桥梁的目的。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Featuring 90 works drawn almost entirely from the museum’s own collection, the show explores the centuries-old bond between poetry and painting in Chinese art, offering Western audiences a rare window into this unique cultural tradition.(本次展览展出九十件作品，这些作品几乎全部取自该馆自身馆藏；展览探究中国艺术中诗歌与绘画之间延续数百年的联系，为西方观众提供一扇了解这一独特文化传统的难得窗口)”可知，这场展览探究诗歌与绘画之间的关联。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“He explains that poetry was never just a source of inspiration for painters; it was a framework for creating meaning. Many artists did not simply copy scenes described in poems. Instead, they sought to capture the mood, emotion and philosophical ideas behind the words.(他解释说，诗歌对画家而言绝不只是灵感的来源，更是构建内涵的载体。许多艺术家不会简单照搬诗里描写的景致，反而力求捕捉文字背后蕴藏的意境、情感与思想内涵)”可知，古代画家将诗歌作为丰富画作内涵、增加深度的载体。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“A central part of this tradition is the practice of inscribing poems directly onto paintings. These calligraphic lines, written by the artists themselves or later admirers, add layers of interpretation to the visual work.(这一传统的核心形式，是直接在画作上inscribing诗文。这些由画家本人或后世仰慕者书写的书法文字，为这幅视觉作品增添了多层解读角度)”可知，后文说明这些诗句是创作者或后人书写在画作上，由此可推出，画线单词表示“书写、题写”与“writing”的意义相近。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“For Dolberg, the exhibition aims to bridge cultural gaps. “Many Western visitors may not realize that Chinese painting is not just about what you see,” he says. “It is about what you read and what you imagine.”(对多尔伯格而言，这场展览旨在弥合文化隔阂。“许多西方参观者并没有意识到，中国画不只是你眼中所见之物，”他说道，“它关乎你读到的内容，还有你心中所想。”)”可知，这场展览能够帮助外国参观者读懂中国艺术中潜藏的深层内涵。 D AI-powered wearable sensors have gone far beyond the range of ordinary innovative designs. They have evolved into an influential force reshaping modern lifestyle, redefining routine health supervision, human-device interaction and people’s slight emotional sense. Conventional wearables are restricted to basic functions focused on simple fitness data recording; by contrast, the upgraded generation adopts complex machine learning algorithms (算法) to conduct real-time analysis and interpretation of multi-layered physical signals. Attached to the arms or bodies, such complicated sensors are able to capture faint variations in surface temperature, sweat composition and muscle tension status. Through instant data processing and pattern comparison, they can spot early warnings of long-term mental stress, built-up physical exhaustion or abnormal heart rhythm, long before individuals become aware of any obvious discomfort. A trial launched by a British tech institution suggested that most participants failed to notice potential health risks until the sensors gave indirect reminders in advance. Beyond individual health management, the technology is undergoing test application in industrial risk prevention. For high-risk sectors ranging from construction to underground mining, smart wearables can monitor workers’ physical endurance in real time and issue timely alerts once overwork approaches the hidden safety boundary, effectively cutting down avoidable accidents caused by long-term physical overload. Nevertheless, the large-scale popularity of such devices is held back by structural obstacles. Privacy information loss tops the major concerns, as uninterrupted biological data collection may expose personal sensitive information to uncontrolled access. Moreover, technical bottlenecks remain unsolved: existing sensors struggle to maintain steady precision under extreme weather conditions or intense physical movements. Even so, experts hold that future progress in battery durability and data security mechanisms (机制) will determine whether AI wearables can achieve long-term popularization and practical value. 12. What is the core difference between new AI wearables and traditional ones? A. They are designed merely for basic daily fitness tracking. B. They analyze multi-layered physical signals in real time. C. They help people completely get rid of negative emotions. D. They provide professional medical treatment for hidden diseases. 13. What can be concluded from the trial of the British tech institution? A. Few participants realized the value of the sensors. B. The trial was conducted in professional medical labs. C. Participants could sense health risks on their own. D. The sensor’s early warning worked effectively. 14. What does the author imply about AI wearables in paragraph 4? A. Privacy problems have already been well handled. B. Extreme environments hardly affect sensor precision. C. Their wide popularity relies on further technical advances. D. They will replace all traditional medical detection tools. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Advantages and Challenges of AI Wearables B. Bright Future for AI Wearables C. AI Wearables for Personal Health D. Risks of AI-powered Wearables 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍AI可穿戴传感器的健康、工业应用优势，同时指出隐私、精度等现存难题，探讨其普及所需的技术突破。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Conventional wearables are restricted to basic functions focused on simple fitness data recording; by contrast, the upgraded generation adopts complex machine learning algorithms (算法) to conduct real-time analysis and interpretation of multi-layered physical signals.(传统可穿戴设备只局限于基础功能，核心仅为简单健身数据记录；与之相比，升级换代的新一代产品运用复杂机器学习算法，对多层生理信号开展实时分析与解读。)”可知，新款AI可穿戴设备与传统设备的核心区别是能够实时分析多层生理信号。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“A trial launched by a British tech institution suggested that most participants failed to notice potential health risks until the sensors gave indirect reminders in advance.(英国一家科技机构开展的试验表明，大多数参与者在传感器提前给出间接提醒前，都无法察觉到潜在健康风险。)”可知，传感器能够提前预警健康隐患，其预警功能十分有效。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Even so, experts hold that future progress in battery durability and data security mechanisms (机制) will determine whether AI wearables can achieve long-term popularization and practical value.(即便如此，专家认为电池续航能力与数据安全机制方面未来的技术发展，将决定人工智能可穿戴设备能否实现长期普及并发挥实用价值。)”可知，这类设备的广泛普及有赖于更进一步的技术发展。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“AI-powered wearable sensors have gone far beyond the range of ordinary innovative designs. They have evolved into an influential force reshaping modern lifestyle, redefining routine health supervision, human-device interaction and people’s slight emotional sense. (由人工智能驱动的可穿戴传感器早已远远超出普通创新设计的范畴。它们已经发展成为一股极具影响力的力量，重塑现代生活方式，重新定义日常健康监测、人机交互以及人们细微的情绪感知。)”以及尾段中的“Nevertheless, the large-scale popularity of such devices is held back by structural obstacles.(然而，这类设备的大规模普及受到各类固有阻碍制约)”可知，文章既介绍AI可穿戴传感器的各类应用优势，又阐述其普及面临的多重挑战，标题“Advantages and Challenges of AI Wearables(人工智能可穿戴设备的优势与挑战)”概括了文章的主题，适合作为最佳标题。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5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。 Building Cultural Confidence: A Guide for Young People Cultural confidence is not about ignoring other cultures, but about valuing your own while respecting others.

He had always loved cats, dreaming secretly of having one curled up (蜷缩) at the foot of his bed. However, reading had long been a painful struggle. In the classroom, letters seemed to dance wildly and laugh at him when he tried to understand them. He often stumbled (结结巴巴) over simple words, feeling embarrassed before his classmates. Yet, the chance to spend a quiet afternoon with cats was too wonderful to refuse. He decided to join in, hoping that the cats wouldn’t judge him. On Saturday morning, Samar arrived at the shelter with his dad. A volunteer led him to a soft, gray cat named Max. Thankfully, Max didn’t judge him. He simply climbed onto Samar’s lap, curled into a ball, and closed his eyes. Samar carried him to a corner with a worn-out chair, pulled out his book, Charlotte’s Web, and began to read with many pauses. To his surprise, Max didn’t care when Samar paused or mispronounced words. He didn’t laugh or correct him. Instead, the cat made a low, soft sound. It was the most comforting sound Samar had ever heard, helping him forget his worries. For the first time, he wasn’t reading to pass a test; he was reading to a friend. His voice grew steadier, and the words started to make sense. Samar was very excited to share his progress with his parents. He even told his next-door neighbour, Mrs Patel, about Max and his special experience. Every Saturday after that, Samar visited the shelter without fail. With Max as his silent teacher, his confidence grew rapidly. He once struggled with picture books, but now he happily read longer storybooks. Ms. Desai noticed his improvement right away and later awarded him the “Most Improved Reader” prize in class. Holding the certificate, Samar could not wait to show it to Max. 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。 But when Samar arrived at the shelter that weekend, Max was nowhere to be found. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just then, Samar’s neighbor Mrs. Patel walked into the room, holding Max in her arms. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: But when Samar arrived at the shelter that weekend, Max was nowhere to be found. Panic gripped his chest as he searched the familiar corners, his heart sinking with each empty spot. The volunteer explained gently that Max had been adopted earlier that morning. Tears blurred Samar’s vision, and the certificate in his hands suddenly felt heavy. Without his silent friend, the joy of reading seemed to fade, and he wondered if he could ever find the courage to read aloud again. Just then, Samar’s neighbor Mrs. Patel walked into the room, holding Max in her arms. A bright smile lit up her face as she approached him. “Samar, I heard about your wonderful reading sessions from Ms. Desai,” she said softly, placing Max gently into his lap. Max let out a familiar, comforting purr, instantly melting Samar’s sadness. It turned out that Mrs. Patel had adopted Max specifically to be Samar’s reading partner at home. With his friend by his side, Samar knew his reading journey would continue beautifully. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述萨马尔患有阅读障碍，朗读时常卡顿自卑。他在动物收容所为小猫麦克斯读书，在小猫无声的陪伴下重拾自信、大幅进步并获得奖项。当他带着奖状前去报喜时，却发现小猫被领养，最终惊喜发现邻居领养了小猫，让这份温暖陪伴得以延续的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写萨马尔发现麦克斯不见后十分慌张，得知小猫被领养，内心失落难过。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写邻居抱着麦克斯出现，告知特意领养小猫陪伴他读书，萨马尔重获温暖与希望。 2.续写线索：寻找小猫——得知领养——心生失落——邻居出现——揭晓惊喜——重伴好友——延续温暖 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①寻找：search/look for/seek for ②靠近：approach/near 情绪类 ①温柔地：softly/gently/tenderly ②悲伤：sadness/sorrow 【点睛】[高分句型1] Panic gripped his chest as he searched the familiar corners, his heart sinking with each empty spot.（运用了as引导时间状语从句以及独立主格结构作状语） [高分句型2] “Samar, I heard about your wonderful reading sessions from Ms. Desai,” she said softly, placing Max gently into his lap.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
