This decision emerges from a careful comparison. Parents’ wishes, though well-intentioned, often reflect their experiences rather than our realities. Society’s trends, while popular, are fleeting and may not align with our true strengths. In contrast, my own dream represents a deep-seated passion and a clear sense of purpose. It is this personal vision that serves as my internal compass, providing enduring motivation and true direction. For instance, choosing a career merely to please others or follow the crowd can result in dissatisfaction, whereas pursuing a field one loves yields both excellence and happiness. Thus, balancing respect for parents and awareness of society, I choose to bravely follow my dream, for it is the path where my potential can truly shine, guided by the compass of my own heart. Possible Version 2: Choosing a Path with Purpose Faced with the three directions shown in the cartoon—parents’ wish, society’s trend, and my own dream—my choice would be to follow society’s trend. Some may argue that pursuing one’s own dream is the only way to true happiness. However, I believe that aligning with societal trends does not mean giving up personal ambition. Instead, it means understanding the needs of the world and finding where one can contribute meaningfully. Many of today’s most rewarding careers—in fields like green technology, digital innovation, and public health—are also society’s current directions. By choosing such a path, I can ensure that my work has real value and relevance. This choice is not about blindly following the crowd,but about thoughtfully connecting my abilities with broader needs. In this way, I can build a stable future while still growing personally and making a tangible difference in the world. 第二节（续写） 范文一 Following her eyes, Mr. Carter’s expression turned to understanding and mild embarrassment. “Oh, dear,” he said, scratching his head. “Those are your newspapers. Our naughty dog keeps picking them up before I can stop him.” It seemed that the naughty dog took it as a praise, wagging its tail and circling happily around them. Mr. Carter bent down, picked up one of the papers and went on," I meant to return them and apologize. Mornings here are always a bit crazy.” Then Mrs. Henderson even pictured the dog biting off my rose running around. Realizing she was wrong about the boys, Mrs. Henderson’s prepared words were gone. For a moment, embarrassment rooted her to the spot, with her face burning hot. A wave of guilt washed over her as she looked at the shy boys she had blamed. “... I thought it was the ...” her voice much softer than before. Mrs.Henderson then turned to the twins and invited them to see her garden someday. The boys’ eyes lit up at once. As she walked back home with the papers, it dawned on her that suspicion, like frost, could chill the heart, but kindness had the power to melt it away. 范文二 Following her eyes, Mr. Carter’s expression turned to understanding and mild embarrassment. “Sorry, Mrs. Henderson, are these yours?” Before she could respond, one of the twins darted off and returned with her newspapers. Her fury dissolved into confusion, but she managed a nod, reclaimed her morning newspapers and asked them about her missing rose. The other boy stepped forward, explaining that their naughty dog had bitten off the rose; and they found the papers blown onto the lawn. Mr. Carter rested his hands on his boys’ shoulders, elaborating on the situation, his voice gentle. “They’ve been guarding them and meaning to return them but kept forgetting.” The twins ran inside and returned carefully holding the wilted bloom. “We thought we could save it for you.” Realizing she was wrong about the boys, Mrs. Henderson’s prepared words were gone. So guilty was she that she invited them into her garden to appreciate her silver rose garden together. The moment they heard her words, their eyes sparkled with delight. To Mrs. Henderson’s surprise, the boys behaved themselves, grabbing their parents’ hands, tending every rose meticulously and exploring her garden cheerfully. In return, they decorated her frost-bitten silver garden with their favorite brightly colored plastic toys, bringing the tranquil garden to life. The champion gardener explained her delicate designs patiently. Cold as it was, the faint fragrance of her roses still lingered and a seed of trust and friendship took root in their hearts. The frost remained, but something had thawed. 答案第6页，共8页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $绝密★启用前 深圳外国语学校2025一2026学年度高二第二学期期末考试 英语试题 本试卷共8页，满分130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、班级、准考证号码等信息填写在答题卡上。 2.作答时，务必将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷及草稿纸上无效。 3.考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 第二部分阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 以 Turnitin is an assessment tool to check similarity for text-based submissions.It compares a submitted assessment against a database of other papers and journals to detect similarity.

B At first sight,Easthope doesn't seem much like a Cassandra.She smiles a lot.Her manner is kind and motherly;pushed to name her profession,you might guess her to be a nurse or teacher.But look closer. Easthope is an emergency planner whose job is to support the survivors of major disasters, in which capacity she acted following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the fire at Grenfell Tower.For two decades,the public knew nothing about this vital work,which went on behind the scenes,though she was hugely admired in what we might call"professional disaster circles": a voice of calm and a fountain of wisdom.But in 2023,she published a best-selling book about her career,When the Dust Settles,and everything changed.People became very interested in what she did. "At literary festivals,most authors get questions about their writing process,"Easthope says."But I wouldn't get those.What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have.Wasn't I afraid?How did I handle it?I would tell them that I didn't live in fear,and I would give them basic advice.But this wasn't enough."In the end,she felt she had no choice but to write a second book,one in which she would try to distill (all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual. While her publisher describes Come What May as a roadmap for resilience,the word is one Easthope dislikes.Ready,she suggests,is a better one.Easthope also reminds people that small things,like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies,still matter.She encourages people to remember,not to forget,what happened during disasters, because such events leave a long-lasting effect. 24.What might a Cassandra be like according to paragraph 1? A.Severe and forbidding. B.Competent and cautious. C.Friendly and energetic. D.Cheerful and approachable. 高二英语第2页（共8页） 25.What led to increased public awareness of Easthope's work in 2023? A.The publication of a best seller. B.The growth of professional disaster circles. C.Her involvement in 2004 tsunami relief. D.Her sudden rise to fame through media. 26.Why are readers'questions cited in paragraph 3? A.To reveal Easthope's personal fears. B.To explain Easthope's writing process. C.To show Easthope's writing motivation. D.To present public doubts about Easthope's work. 27.What does Easthope agree on handling disasters? A.Resilience matters most. B.Forgetting aids recovery. C.Positive thinking takes the lead. D.Minor sufferings deserve attention. C Think about the last time you checked your performance ranking at work,glanced at your class ranking,or figured out your fantasy football standings.Where you landed in that list,as many people assume,probably shaped how hard you pushed next.But the reality is more interesting.Motivation does not rise smoothly with rank.It bends. In a study published in Management Science,Victoria Prowse and her colleagues designed an experiment to isolate exactly how rank in a group affects effort.Participants repeatedly chose how hard to work and learned their rank after each round. The results were striking.People who were told they ranked first increased their effort by 21 percent compared to the average.Those ranked last increased their effort by 13 percent.And those stuck in the middle?Their effort actually dropped by more than 10 percent.This pattern- effort increasing at both extremes and decreasing in the middle-held regardless of gender,age, or field of study. Notably,pay was completely disconnected from performance.People worked harder at the top and bottom purely for psychological reasons.At the top,the pattern is consistent with motives such as pride or the thrill of winning.At the bottom,it could be driven by a discomfort with being last. In a worldfull of rankings,these findings carry real weight."Employee of the Month" awards and coaching for the lowest performers tend to generate real motivation.However, blanket rankings risk demoralizing those who keep the gears turning.Structuring teams into smaller comparison groups can help,encouraging the first-place energy.Meanwhile,providing detailed rankings to average workers may be harmful,because they are most likely to stay loyal, show up consistently but get annoyed when told they are ordinary. The next time you see a ranking,notice where you land and take proper action.At the top, energy surges.At the bottom,the urge to climb can match it.In the middle,recognize and resist the subtle pull to ease up. 28.What is a common misunderstanding of ranking? A.It is widely used in the workplace. B.It pressures people to some extent. C.It motivates more as rank rises. D.It is closely related to financial rewards. 高二英语第3页（共8页） 29.Which of the following best illustrates the pattern of the study? 3 Rank in previous round(first place has rank 1) 2 Rank in previous round (first place has rank 1) A B 3 Rank in previousround (first place has rank 1) Rank in previous round (first place has rank 1) C D 30.What does the author suggest employers do? A.Give rankings widely. B.Use rankings selectively. C.Treat performers equally. D.Coach employees intensively. 31.What is the author's attitude toward Victoria's studies? A.Unclear. B.Dismissive. C.Doubtful. D.Approving. D The toy industry is pushing forward with AI chatbots built into stuffed animals and mini robots.These toys are flexible enough to conduct limited conversations with children and to respond to them as they finish talking.Are these interactions enough to provide the "personalized education"claimed?Will toys like Curio's Grem help or harm children's language development? The more language addressed to children,the bigger their vocabulary will be.But these words are not learned out of context,as AI-infused toys do,but from caregivers who make the words come alive.Research shows that chatbot talk is unlikely to improve young children's language outcomes.In fact,if allowed to replace conversations with caregivers,these toys may impede children's language learning. When a caregiver describes something a child is interested in,the child can learn its name. A chatbot is less able to teach children about their environments because it cannot see and describe a toy the child is holding.Even if it could see,it does not have prior knowledge about the toys a child owns.Language skills do not grow from simply hearing lots of words-they grow from hearing words in conversations that capture the child's attention. Finally,children seek further information about the sounds of their language.A caregiver's repetition of the word emphasizes its name while giving the child more information about its 高二英语第4页（共8页） sound.If the child mispronounces,the caregiver will likely emphasize the correct pronunciation. Commercial chatbots can't reliably do this. Quality language expands on what toddlers know,takes the child's perspective and past into account,and responds to children's questions.We see some work showing social robots can help preschool children learn vocabulary,and conversational agents can help older children learn from educational TV.However,we need more research to know the effects these robots have on babies'and toddlers'language learning.Until then,we believe humans in toddlers'lives are responsible for conducting the conversations that grow children's language.As one researcher stated,"Our babies shouldn't be lab mice for toy companies." 32.What is the function of the first paragraph? A.To point out a problem. B.To present a phenomenon. C.To put forward the viewpoint. D.To introduce the topic. 33.What does the underlined word "impede"in paragraph 2 mean? A.Prevent. B.Facilitate. C.Secure. D.Maintain. 34.What can a caregiver do to help children learn a language? A.Provide interaction in context. B.Emphasize their names. C.Weaken their attention. D.Repeat grammar rules. 35.Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A.Is It Necessary to Interact with Caregivers? B.Will AI-Powered Toys Be a New Toy Trend? C.Can AI-Powered Toys Help Toddlers Learn Language? D.Are Caregivers the Secret to Kids'Overall Development? 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。 About a year ago,our dishwasher broke down.We called a repairman and were told it would have to be replaced.36 So my mother asked me to wash dishes by hand after dinner. To understand why this upset me so much,you need to know what my life was like as a university senior.37 Homework assignments,projects and tests competed for my attention and time.I caged myself in a prison of my own ambitions and expectations,cut off from many aspects of the world. So when I first started washing dishes,I felt annoyed.I was in a rush to be done with them, eager to get back to my endless list of tasks.38 For about 15 minutes every day,I realized that I could slow down time and forget everything in the world.As my mind,eyes and hands focused on a simple task that would always result in success,I found peace. Though the new dishwasher arrived eventually,I continued to wash dishes by hand.This task became more relaxing and educational than I could have imagined.39 From my kitchen window,I watched the seasons change:the tomato plant grew in summer,gave its fruit in fall, and died back in winter.Then new green was showing in spring.I kept these sights in mind, thinking on time itself. Washing dishes taught me to think of the completion of a task as the ultimate reward,not praise or a prize.I learned to be more relaxed about deadlines.40 高二英语第5页（共8页）】 A.It definitely allowed me to recover. B.Now I can enjoy whatever task I'm doing. C.I was running around stressed most of the day. D.It took a while for the model we ordered to arrive. E.But a new dishwasher was out of our consideration. F.I should have accomplished them with even greater efforts. G.Washing dishes,though,caused an admirable transformation in me. 第三部分语言运用（共三节，满分40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四个选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。 "There's much more to being a living statue than simply standing still."Izabela Radcliffe, who has performed all over the world as a living statue,reveals.

Her suspicion,like the frost,grew steadily colder and it settled firmly on her new next-door neighbors,the Carters. The Carters moved in two months ago-a young couple with twin boys.To Mrs. Henderson's ordered mind,their home was a symphony of cheerful chaos:brightly colored plastic toys spreading across the yard,a tricycle lying on its side by the walkway,and the constant energetic screams of children at play.Newspapers were clearly part of their household mess. The final straw came on Thursday.Not only was her paper gone,but a beautiful,prize- worthy rose from her front garden bed had been taken clean off.Mrs.Henderson,a champion gardener for twenty years,felt a hot wave of anger.This was no accident:this was damage on purpose!She pictured a small hand reaching through the fence.Enough was enough. With purpose,she marched next door and rang the bell of the Carters,thinking she should give the boys a lesson. Mr.Carter answered,looking pleasantly surprised but slightly confused,with a child holding onto each leg and a naughty dog circling his feet."Mrs.Henderson!What a lovely surprise!"Before she could launch into her prepared speech about community respect and property,her eyes slid past him into the hallway.There,neatly stood on a small table beside an umbrella stand,were three copies of Riverdale Gazette. 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。 Following her eyes,Mr.Carter's expression turned to understanding and mild embarrassment. Realizing she was wrong about the boys,Mrs.Henderson's prepared words were gone. 高二英语第8页（共8页）
