From his teaching experiences,Mr Marc quickly realized that teaching requires more than just knowing the subject.One moment that reshaped his view of teaching occurred during his first year when a student lost his father. The experience made him realize how essential it is to create an environment that assists students facing personal challenges. When transitioning from teaching college to high school,Mr Marc admitted that he struggled with constantly having to adapt and come up with new ideas."Getting accustomed to the workload and courses when it's all so new to me has been one ofthe biggest challenges so far,"he explained. Mr Marc believes authority doesn't come from simply having a title."There's a lot I can be doing to make students feel confident and capable in the classroom,"he said.By encouraging a sense of teamwork and mutual respect,he aims to create an environment where students feel valued."I try to get to know my students and then take time during class to talk to them individually,"he added.This approach helps students feel noticed. "My ultimate goal as a teacher is to help students start to question the things they take for granted or the things they just assume are true about the world,"said Mr Marc,who describes his teaching journey as a blessing.He acknowledges that his path to teaching was unexpected,but he's grateful for the experiences he has come across. 24.What can we conclude about Mr Marc from Paragraph 1? A.He became a teacher by accident. B.He quit business work for writing study C.He took the scholarship by creative writing. D.He benefited from previous jobs. 25.What made Mr Marc change his view on teaching? A.His scholarship requirement. B.A student's personal misfortune. C.His desire to know more about the subject. D.The importance to create a new environment. 26.Which is a challenge Mr Marc faced when teaching in high school? A.Building authority among students. B.Making students feel valued in class. C.Adapting to the new workload and courses. D.Helping students facing personal challenges. 高二期考英语试题第4页共10页 回营 27.What is Mr Marc's final aim as a teacher?

To confirm this effect,Dr.Ryan Park,an environmental psychologist from the University of Califomia and his team carried out a4-week controlled experiment.They divided 220 adult participants into two groups:one spent at least 20 minutes daily in any green space,while the other remained in urban built environments with no nature exposure.All participants took regular cortisol tests and completed standard health assessments throughout the experiment. "Nature is not a luxury for those with free time,but a basic necessity for our brain and physical health,"says Dr.Park.Our controlled study found that the nature exposure group had 32%lower levels of cortisol,the body's main stress hormone,than the control group." Dr.Park's team also found that students taking a 15-minute pre-exam nature walk scored 18%higher on average,while office workers with window views of trees reported 25%fewer annual sick days."You don't need to hike in faraway national parks to get these benefits,he notes."Even a community garden,tree-lined street or short local park walk works.Connecting with nature is a simple,accessible way to care for our well-being." 28.What can we infer about Anna Chen's initial nature walks? A.They were strongly supported by her office manager. B.They were designed to improve her work performance. C.They brought her surprising mental health advantages. D.They took place in a large national park far away. 29.What is the key difference between the two groups in the experiment? A.Their age and physical health condition. B.Their daily access to natural green spaces. C.The time they spent on outdoor activities. D.The frequency of their cortisol level tests 高二期考英语试题第5页共10页 a“1%o 可只 30.What does Dr.Park imply in the last paragraph? A.Urban people have no access to natural spaces. B.Community gardens are better than city parks C.Most people have broken their bond with nature. D.Even tiny natural spaces can bring health benefits. 31.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.The Rise of Outdoor Activities in Urban Areas B.The Power of Nature Exposure for Health C.The Value of National Parks in Tourism D.The Bond Between Humans and Nature D On a banana farm in rural Australia,a farming family spreads crushed volcanic rock between ripening fruit.Eight thousand kilometers away,two young men in India dust the same type of rock powder onto their crops,while across the ocean,a farmer in Kenya spreads the powder onto his potato plants.Across the world,farmers are experimenting with a technique called enhanced rock weathering(风化作用)，designed to improve poor soils and help save the planet from climate change. Enhanced rock weathering relies on an old process:the breakdown and buildup of rock.The weathering releases stable HCO3,which traps the carbon from the atmosphere.It flows from groundwater into streams and eventually the ocean,where corals and other living beings use it to make their shells and bones.Upon dying,the carbon remains inside the planet for tens of thousands of years or longer before volcanoes shoot out clouds of CO and lava,starting the cycle again. Enhanced rock weathering takes advantage of Earth's natural carbon cycle,which keeps carbon dioxide in permanent circulation between air,water and soil.Like a thermostat () rock weathering can slowly moderate Earth's temperatures over time by keeping atmospheric levels of CO2,a greenhouse gas,in check. Beyond climate benefits,enhanced rock weathering could help farmers.Modern agricultural practices have damaged soil structure.When soil becomes too acid,essential nutrients can wash away,and bacteria that help plants grow can be damaged.Farmers already add crushed limestone and volcanic rock powder to fields to raise soil pH.Volcanic rock powder can also release essential plant nutrients. Although the workings of enhanced rock weathering are well understood,the potential long-term risks are not.The most serious concern is the potential for heavy metal remaining in soils.Some of the rocks in the long term may cause significant negative environmental consequences.Another unknown is the possible effect of these rock powders on marine life if rock powder flows into the ocean.Research on enhanced rock weathering is far from done. Combining enhanced rock weathering with other strategies could lead to an even greater effect. 高二期考英语试题第6页共10页 a^“”1%a 可只 32.What can be learned about enhanced rock weathering? A.It will destroy the coral's homes. B.It speeds up earth's carbon cycle. C.It keeps carbon in the sea forever. D.It releases what absorbs carbon. 33.What does the underlined word "moderate"in Paragraph 3 mean? A.Raise the level B.Keep within limits C.Lower the rate D.Measure the change 34.Why are farmers willing to accept the technology? A.To stop global warming B.To reduce pollution risks C.To improve soil quality D.To change traditional ways 35.What is the author's attitude towards enhanced rock weathering? A.Positive but cautious B.Doubtful and worried C.Objective but indifferent D.Enthusiastic and supportive 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 high school students,free time is a precious gift that should be cherished.36Many students fall into aimless scrolling through social media or end up feeling bored and unfulfilled. But it doesn't have to be this way.We can turn these spare moments into meaningful and rewarding time-one that enriches our lives,promotes personal growth,and brings us joy,not just keeps us busy with useless tasks. 37 For example,to improve English,you can plan to read one short English article or learn 10 new words every day.Specific goals not only avoid aimlessness but also give your spare time a clear direction and purpose.When you know exactly what you want to achieve, every minute counts. Also,focus on activities that bring you joy and help you grow.38 Whether it's painting,playing an instrument,or coding,these hobbies not only relax your mind but also develop your creativity and practical skills,making your free time more fulfilling.The key is to find something that challenges you just enough to keep you engaged without causing stress. Learning to say "no"to unimportant things also matters a lot.39 Many students feel pressured to join every social event,which ends up wasting their precious free time.Politely declining these invitations frees up more time for what truly matters to you.Remember,your time is limited,and you cannot please everyone while still taking care of yourself.40 So start your plan now and make every free moment meaningful. A.Set practical goals for your free time. B.This way,your free time will truly satisfy you. C.This skill allows you to put your own needs first. D.You don't have to fill every minute with activities. E.Balance efficiency with relaxation in your free time. F.You can simply take up a challenging but satisfying hobby.

Life in the trailer was tough,yet it was filled with warmth.Though her family possessed little,their door was never closed to those who had even less.Never will she forget the first time they squeezed onto the tiny couch (together,which doubled as her parents'bed at night. One evening,as her mother was checking the last food they had,her voice trembled,We don't have enough food to last the week."Hearing this,Charlotte was seized by a sense of sadness, like a huge stone settled in her heart. Moments later,her mother rose to prepare the modest chicken dinner.Charlotte wandered outside where her dad was working on their broken-down truck.Just then,a middle-aged man with dirty clothes emerged from a winding path.Coming right up to them,the man whispered in hesitation with a mix of shame and hope,"I..I am a hiker and have got lost.I'm hungry and wondering if you have any food to spare." Charlotte's heart tightened,countless thoughts racing in her mind.They barely had enough for themselves.The chicken for dinner wouldn't even fill three plates."But the man seems to be in greater need of food than we do,"she thought to herself. 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。 "Ofcourse!"The words escaped Charlotte before she even realized it.
