B When Angel Reese first joined the Chicago Sky as the No.7 pick in the WNBA (Women’s National Basketball Association) draft, the transition was far from smooth. The player known in college for her dominant rebounding (篮板球) and competitive spirit faced a steep learning curve against experienced professionals. Questions were raised about whether her game would translate, and her statistics in the early weeks were solid but not impressive, leading some experts to wonder if she was being overshadowed by other rookies (新手). But Reese, with her constant efforts, quickly turned a corner. In a decisive mid-season game against the Connecticut Sun, she recorded an incredible 25 points and 16 rebounds, announcing her arrival as a force. Her impact goes beyond numbers; she has transformed the Sky’s defensive identity and become an emotional leader. “Confronted with pressure from the media in the down time, she brings an energy that’s infectious,” said Head Coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “She’s not just playing her best; she’s motivating everyone around her.” Perhaps Reese’s most significant contribution is happening off the court. Jerseys (运动衫) with her name are flying off shelves, and Sky games, particularly on the road, are drawing new crowds eager to see the “Chi-Town Barbie.” The league’s television ratings and social media engagement see substantial rises during her eye-catching performances. She, along with an exceptional rookie class, is credited with driving a new era of exposure and commercial growth for the WNBA. The narrative has shifted from questioning her fit to forecasting her ceiling. A strong candidate for Rookie of the Year, Reese is no longer just a prospect; she is a cornerstone. Her journey from a screened newcomer to a league ambassador underscores how the right personality and talent, coupled with resilience, can rapidly reshape both a team’s fortunes and the sport’s cultural footprint. 4. How did the public react to Angel Reese initially? A. They didn’t pay enough attention to her role. B. They were deeply impressed by her skills. C. They thought she would win awards quickly. D. They doubted her ability as a WNBA player. 5. What can be inferred about Reese from Teresa’ s comment? A. She improves the team’s fame. B. She lifts her teammates’ spirits. C. She plays the best on the team. D. She handles media pressure easily. 6. Why was Reese called “Chi-Town Barbie”? A. To promote a commercial brand. B. To increase her media engagement. C. To reflect her popularity and identity. D. To display her catchy performances. 7. What is the main idea of the passage? A. An introduction to the Chicago Sky. B. The importance of a positive mindset. C. A player’s journey and her impact. D. The characteristics of sports culture. C After nearly a decade of trying, Apple finally gave up its effort to produce an electric car last year, canceling a project that soaked up $10 billion. But last year in China, the electronics maker Xiaomi launched its first electric car after just three years of development and delivered 135,000 vehicles. It has vowed to double that number in 2025. Xiaomi’s ability to succeed where Apple could not shows how thoroughly China has come to dominate the supply chain for electric vehicles. Chinese companies have mastered electric vehicle manufacturing. By tapping that infrastructure, Xiaomi was able to get components quickly and cheaply. And Xiaomi is not the only Chinese consumer electronics company that has branched out to electric vehicles. The telecommunications giant Huawei, which the U. S. government has targeted with sanctions and legal action for years, is making autonomous driving software. Huawei has teamed up with multiple Chinese automakers, including Seres Group and the state-owned firms SAIC Motor, BAIC and Chery. Xiaomi’s first electric car was brought out last March: the SU7,a four-door sedan with artificial intelligence features that can help with parking, play movies for passengers and program Xiaomi home appliances from the road. Mr. Lei said it looks like a Porsche. But at $ 30,000, it’s a quarter of the price. While the SU7 earned Xiaomi just a small fraction of the sales of China’s top electric vehicle makers, it puts Xiaomi among the Chinese companies that are dealing a major blow to foreign automakers’ long command over China’s market for premium cars. In the year since the SU7 went on sale, Porsche deliveries in China were down nearly 30 percent. Chinese electric vehicle companies have benefited from billions of dollars in government support, which has helped them gain control of the supply chain down to the very minerals inside the car batteries. This early edge helped two Chinese companies, BYD and Contemporary Amperex Technology Company. Xiaomi used this supply chain to its advantage. Its cars contain batteries from BYD and CATL. It was able to quickly start production by taking over a factory from Beijing Auto Group. Construction workers in Beijing are working around the clock on a second factory. All this manufacturing capacity helps Chinese electric vehicle firms move from development to production in far less time than traditional automakers in China, enabling them to bring new models to market quickly and focus on making software that they can continually update, said Stephen W. Dyer, head of Asia Automotive at AlixPartners. 8. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By listing examples. B. By stating opinions. C. By making a contrast. D. By giving definitions. 9. Why does the author mention Apple’s failure? A. To show Apple’s poor management. B. To prove electric car production is difficult. C. To highlight China’s EV development. D. To compare it with Huawei’s situation. 10. What does Paragraph 3 focus on? A. SU7’s price advantage. B. SU7’s features and influence. C. Porsche’s decline in China. D. Xiaomi’s EV production plan. 11. How did Xiaomi start its electric car production quickly? A. By developing new technology. B. By building its own factory. C. By getting government support. D. By getting hold of a factory. D Artificial intelligence (AI) is often seen as a tool that replaces human labor. However, a new study from Swansea University offers a different view. It suggests that AI can act as a creative partner, encouraging exploration and inspiration. Researchers carried out one of the largest studies on how people work with AI during creative tasks. More than 800 participants joined an online experiment. They used an AI system to design virtual cars. Instead of simply finding the best design quickly, the system used a method called MAP-Elites. It created visual galleries filled with many different design possibilities. These galleries showed a wide range of car concepts, including highly effective designs, unusual ideas, and even some intentionally poor ones. Dr Walton, the lead author of the study, explained, “People often think AI speeds up tasks or improves efficiency, but our findings show something more interesting. When people were shown AI-generated design suggestions, they spent more time on the task, produced better designs, and felt more involved. It was not just about efficiency. It was about creativity and cooperation.” The study also points out a problem with how AI design tools are usually assessed. Standard measurements often focus on simple behaviors, such as how often users click on or copy AI suggestions. According to the researchers, these measures miss important aspects of the experience, such as how AI influences people’s thoughts, emotions, and willingness to explore new ideas. Dr Walton emphasized that variety in AI-generated output played a key role. “Participants responded most positively to galleries that included a wide variety of ideas, including bad ones. These helped them move beyond their first thoughts and explore a wider range of designs. This structured diversity prevented early fixation and encouraged creative risk-taking.” As AI become more common in home in creative fields, from engineering to music and game design, understanding how humans and AI work together is essential. The question is not only what AI can do, but how it can help us think, create, and collaborate more effectively. 12. What do the findings of the study mainly disapprove of AI? A. It pushes users to try new ideas. B. It takes over jobs done by people. C. It supports deeper involvement in tasks. D. It serves as an inspiring creative partner. 13. How did the AI system in the experiment differ from conventional ones? A. It was used to improve work speed. B. It optimized designs automatically. C. It presented diverse visual options. D. It was designed to reduce human effort. 14. What is the major limitation of current AI assessment methods? A. They ignore AI’s mental impact. B. They miss the process of creation. C. They fail to track users’ behaviors. D. They focus on the quality of a task. 15. What is Dr Walton’s attitude towards AI in creative tasks? A. Doubtful. B. Fearful. C. Supportive. D. Unconcerned. 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。 How to Stay Focused While Studying Staying focused while studying can be a challenge for many students.

Public transportation was shut down because of the heavy snow. I work in a company that rents out social housing. Because of the bad weather, most of us were forced to work from home. Only a few technicians were on emergency repair duty. If there was a real emergency, they would brave the white outside, though it may take them much longer than usual to get there. And since we all care about our coworkers out in the snow, our customer service staff make sure every repair call is indeed an emergency before sending anyone out. All day long, the calls kept coming. Most callers asked about their repair appointments (预约) , and we had to explain, “Unfortunately, the technician can’t make it today. We tried to call you for rescheduling, but no one answered” Luckily, most customers understood and agreed to reschedule after sharing their reasons for missing the call. However, one call that day went very differently. A soft, old voice came through the phone: “My tap is leaking.” “I am so sorry to hear that,” I said gently. “I can arrange a worker for you in two days, if the weather gets better by then.” “Yes... but my tap is leaking,” he repeated, slowly and quietly. He sounded like an elderly man, maybe hard of hearing. I repeated the offer, but his only response was still the same. Red flags went off in my mind. I called the work planner at once. “Hey, I have a call from Greenhill Street. An elderly man with a leaky tap. No matter what I ask, he just repeats himself. So I’m worried,” I said anxiously. Minutes later, the planner told me a technician was working just two streets away. She had asked him to check on the man. Then I called the man several times, but no one picked up. My worry grew heavier with every passing minute. What if something terrible had happened to him? 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。 Every few minutes, I checked my phone for messages from the planner. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing that, I let out a huge breath of relief. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2026年春季学期期末考试高二年级英语试卷 (考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分) 第一部分 听力 (共两小节，满分30分) 第一节 (共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

Yours, Li Hua 第二节 (满分25分) 【47题答案】 【答案】 Every few minutes, I checked my phone for messages from the planner. I was so worried that I even imagined the worst situation where the elderly man might have fallen down and couldn’t get up. Just as I was about to call the technician directly, a message came: the technician had arrived at Greenhill Street and found the man safe. He said that the man was deaf and couldn’t hear the phone, so he just kept repeating about the leaky tap because he was anxious. Hearing that, I let out a huge breath of relief. The planner told me that the technician had fixed the tap quickly and chatted with the man for a while. She added that the man was very grateful and kept saying thanks to the technician. I felt happy that we didn’t ignore the man’s simple words, which might have hidden a real need. It taught me that we should always care more about the elderly, especially when they are in trouble. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
