B When I was younger, I couldn’t wait to escape from Ramsgate, the harbor town where I grew up on the Isle of Thanet. It could feel small: the same faces in the same places, and where a new café or gallery was often met with doubt. There was this apparent insistence that life was fine as it was. But for a teenager itching to see more, that lack of curiosity was disheartening. So I left. I headed north for a four-year academic journey from York to Durham. After university, having played at newspapers, I made the move to London to do it for real. But the reality was tough. I struggled to contribute to various dailies before periods on staff at both magazines and newspapers. In my twenties, I threw myself into city life: trying Mediterranean restaurants, navigating around on the Tube, and staying out late with friends. For a while, it was enough. Then it became too much. In and among the sharing plates, I found myself on an unending race of moving faster and needing to earn more — just to keep up. Rents in London were pressing, apartments were tiny, yet the dream of owning one felt like a cruel joke. As I got older, trips back to Thanet opened my eyes to what I had left behind. Mainly, it was the sea. Wide yellow sands and even the touch of salt in the air, ordinary in childhood, suddenly felt appealing. But I also started to miss the beat of small-town life: waving to people on the street, noticing whose garden was overgrown, finding charm even in the pubs I had once dismissed. What’s more, where I’d once hurried to leave, others are now rushing to arrive. Artists, creatives, and technologists have been priced out of London and are pouring to Thanet, bringing new ideas and drive. Now, when I head back home, I feel a mixture of pride and mild wonder: the place I once thought I’d leave forever has had a new bond I wasn’t expecting. I’ll keep returning to Thanet, with eager willingness. Each visit reminds me that places, like people, can grow without losing their essence. I’ve come to love Thanet as more than just the home I left; it is now the place it continues to become. 24. Why did the author want to leave Ramsgate? A. It offered few job opportunities. B. It lacked modern entertainment. C. It stuck to values he disagreed with. D. It failed to satisfy his desire to explore. 25. Which of the following best summarizes the author’s life in London? A. Rich in possibilities. B. Socially diverse. C. Filled with challenges. D. Financially stressful. 26. What can we learn about the author’s bond with Thanet over time? A. It remains stable and strong. B. It is influenced by public opinions. C. It shifts from rejection to reconnection. D. It is shaped by his childhood experience. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Sea in Memory B. Four Years Up North C. The Hometown Out of Reach D. A Growing Place, a Growing Me C In recent years, a new trend has become common in branding: everyday products such as food, drinks and even tools are given human features, like smiling faces and simple arms and legs. These lively images can now be seen in shops, advertisements and online platforms. They are often bright in color and simple in form, which makes them easy to notice and remember. This raises a question: why are such cartoon-like designs so popular in branding? One reason is their emotional appeal. In a fast-paced and sometimes stressful world, people are naturally drawn to things that are simple and enjoyable. Compared with more serious or formal designs, these playful images can make people feel relaxed. By giving human qualities to ordinary objects, brands can create a friendly image and connect more easily with consumers. In this way, products become more engaging and easier to remember, which may influence people’s choices. Another reason is the inheritance of earlier artistic styles. This kind of design can be traced back to early animation, where characters were drawn with simple shapes and clear expressions. Today’s designers combine these elements with modern tastes, creating images that feel both familiar and new. As a result, such designs are accepted by people of different ages and are widely used in different industries, from food to fashion. However, the wide use of this style has also caused problems. With the help of digital tools, many businesses can produce similar designs with little effort. In some cases, companies even rely on ready-made templates (模板) instead of original ideas. As a result, different brands may begin to look alike, making it harder for consumers to tell them apart. This may weaken the unique image that a brand tries to build. Despite these concerns, this trend is unlikely to disappear soon. It reflects people’s desire for simple and enjoyable experiences in modern life. The key issue, therefore, is how such designs can be used in a more creative way, rather than simply copied. 28. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about? A. The popularity of cartoon-like images in different places. B. The variety of products that now use cartoon-like designs. C. The growing use of human-like features in product branding. D. The bright colors and simple forms that make products noticeable. 29. What kind of designs do consumers tend to prefer? A. Those helping to ease their pressure. B. Those stressing serious product qualities. C. Those bearing complicated human features. D. Those keeping with traditional formal styles. 30. What does the underlined word “inheritance” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Origin. B. Copy. C. Tradition. D. Influence. 31. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4? A. Digital tools encourage unique design ideas. B. Ready-made templates improve design efficiency. C. Consumers actively support creative brand images. D. Similar designs may weaken a brand’s unique identity. D Nitrogen fertiliser (氮肥) is essential for modern agriculture but carries a heavy environmental price, contributing to water pollution and soil degradation. However, simply reducing its use is not a solution. Crops typically respond to nitrogen shortage by investing more in root growth to search for nutrients, often at the expense of shoot (茎叶) development and grain production. While adaptive in the wild, this root-shoot trade-off(权衡) limits agricultural productivity. For decades, the gene behind this trade-off has been unknown. In a new study, researchers from Nanjing Agricultural University, the University of Oxford, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences not only identified the gene responsible, but demonstrated that modifying it in rice can ensure stable shoot growth and yields even when nitrogen levels are low. The breakthrough could ultimately reduce dependence on artificial fertilisers. In experiments, the team found that a gene in rice called WRINKLED1a has distinct roles in the shoot and root. In the shoot, it switches on NGR5, a key gene that promotes branching. In the roots, WRINKLED1a supports nitrogen uptake, but also prevents the formation of a protein complex that would otherwise limit root growth. Interestingly, WRINKLED1a does not prevent this protein complex in the shoot, showing that its roles are tissue-specific. From over 3,000 rice varieties, the team identified a naturally stronger version of the gene and used traditional plant breeding (育种) to put into varieties carrying a weaker form. Over three field trials in Hainan and Anhui provinces, China, rice plants with this improved version maintained a more stable root-to-shoot balance across different nitrogen conditions, resulting in a 23.7% yield increase under low fertiliser use and a 19.9% increase under high fertiliser use. Lead author Dr. Shan Li noted that WRINKLED1a helps rice avoid the usual “more roots, less shoot” situation under nitrogen limitation, supporting stable yields with lower nitrogen inputs. “The next step is to investigate whether similar genes in other crops, such as wheat and corn, can be used to achieve the same outcomes,” she added. 32. Which aspect of the root-shoot trade-off does the new study focus on? A. Its economic cost. B. Its nutritional demand. C. Its genetic mechanism. D. Its environmental impact. 33. What can we learn about WRINKLED1a? A. Its function varies in different tissues. B. Its effect is restricted to the shoot. C. It promotes protein complex formation. D. It reduces nitrogen levels in the roots. 34. What might the study help to do according to the text? A. Contribute to food diversity. B. Facilitate sustainable farming. C. Justify nitrogen fertiliser use. D. Advance rice breeding methods. 35. What do Dr. Shan Li’s words suggest? A. The limitation of the research. B. A challenge in applying the findings. C. The need to test the outcomes. D. A possible direction for further study. 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。 I work at a community library. Many people are under the assumption that public libraries are no longer needed because of the Internet. The reality is far from that. 36 A simple Internet search for “cats” produces approximately 2.98 billion results in less than one second. It is a huge number! How do you even begin to sort through all of those results? We hear so much about “false news.” 37 Librarians are there to help. They have been trained, through special classes and workshops, to sort through all of the results and find incredible sources. Author Neil Gaiman said, “Google can bring you back 100,000 answers. A librarian can bring you back the right one.” 38 It helps connect people with the resources they need to find a job, continue their education, and learn new skills. It helps seniors find resources they need to keep up with the “modern” world. It helps new parents develop a love for literacy in their children and bond with them. It helps local artists and craftsmen display their work. It helps students find the answers to those seemingly impossible homework questions. It allows people to meet and exchange ideas. Libraries are so much more than books and information. Yes, they are public computers, Internet access, movies, music, programs and a thousand other thing. 39 They are places where people feel safe and welcomed. They are places where someone who has limited resources can freely access materials and equipment they wouldn’t otherwise be able to. They can, at times, be a harbor for someone who needs a quiet place to work or study. Some of the best memories of my childhood involve going to the local library and in speaking with many others in the neighborhood, they too have those same memories. They are presently making those same memories with their children and grandchildren. 40 I don’t see the Internet achieving that connection. A. We don’t know what sources to trust. B. The public library helps people better their lives. C. The importance of library staff comes to the surface. D. However, libraries’ meaning and relevance goes even beyond that. E. The public library brings people together to build a strong community. F. In fact, it is because of the Internet that libraries are needed now more than ever. G. Every day children, students and adults use libraries to learn, grow and achieve their dreams. 第三部分 语言知识运用 ( 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 “Why would you do something like this?” I asked as the woman put her blouse back on. She looked at me, 41 . “I mean, I’m very grateful,” I added, “But it can’t be nice having dozens of students 42 you.” She shook her head and replied peacefully, “It’s my way of saying thank you.

Yet she just wanted to repay the staff by 48 to be a patient for medical school finals, without expecting anything in return. 49 , I realize how much my training depended on such selfless people. Behind every doctor stand a number of 50 —those who donate their bodies for dissection(解剖), those who allow students to examine them, and those who share their 51 . What they went through is often tiring or uncomfortable, yet they receive little 52 . These unsung heroes make medical education 53 . Their contributions are rarely acknowledged. However, without them, young doctors couldn’t 54 their skills. While doctors might help people, they wouldn’t be in a(n) 55 to do so if people hadn’t helped them first. 41.

By the end of 2025, the number of units 59 (sell) by the company had reached 25,000, an impressive achievement for a newcomer. Zhang made 60 clear that his decision to locate in Chongqing was driven by the city’s complete industrial chain. Arriving in 2013 without any local 61 (connection), he was quickly attracted by the abundance of motorcycle parts in local markets. Today, Chongqing hosts over 40 vehicle manufacturers and more than 400 parts suppliers, offering 62 annual production capacity of 10 million vehicles. The local motorcycle industry has developed 63 (dramatic) over the past decade. Some netizens regarded Zhang’s remarkable story 64 a real-life version of the popular Chinese film series Pegasus, which describes a racer with humble beginnings who, through sheer passion and determination, chases racing glory. The ZXMOTO success is not just a win for the company but also a symbol of China’s growing 65 (strong) in the global motorcycle industry. 第四部分：词汇和语法运用（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） （注意：运用选择性必修二Unit3-6所学内容，根据汉语提示或所给单词的适当形式写在答题卡上) 66.

My parents are big basketball fans, so they named me after him, sparking my love-hate relationship with the name. We share only our passion for basketball; he’s a tall, famous icon, while I’m a short boy who can barely dribble (运球) the ball without dropping it. Every Saturday, the Central District’s Boys and Girls Club sponsors league-play for all age groups. My age group, 9 to 11, is the biggest. For years, I was always the last picked. “He’s too small!” Louis, a team captain, would say coldly while my teammates laughed. I’d sit on the hard bench the whole game, and then lie to my dad about having fun, my heart aching to do my part for the team instead of just watching from the sidelines. Last November, I got to play, thanks to Thanksgiving trips and flu season. I tried to make up for my poor skills by being really aggressive. I would always defend the biggest kid on the other team, and ended up with a bloody nose. The Boys and Girls Club has a great nurse’s room. I know because I spent more time in it than on the court. The nurse was a Vietnamese lady, and because none of the kids could pronounce her name, they called her Skimmy. Skimmy didn’t know anything about basketball or any other American sports, but she was nice and had a pretty smile. By my twelfth nosebleed, Skimmy was my friend. It was she who finally helped me become a better player. “Mr. Shaq,” she said one Saturday, “I watch you play. You always get hurt.Why do you play that way? Why don’t you take advantage of what you are? I watch you — you are fast. You are speedier than a meteor(流星). Why don’t you get faster?” 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。 Paragraph 1: What Skimmy had said left me deep in thought. ________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Training for several days, I stepped onto the court with the new strategy. ______ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ 高二期末英语试卷 第1页(共6页) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 银川一中2025/2026学年度高二（下）期末考试 英语答案 听力（每题1分，共20分） 1—5 CBAAC 6—10 ABCAC 11—15 BCACB 16—20 ABACB 阅读理解（每题2.5分，共50分） A篇 21-23 DBC B篇 24-27 DCCD C篇 28-31 CADD D篇 32-35 CABD 七选五 36-40 FABDE 完形填空（每题1分，共15分） 41-45 ADBCD 46-50 BACAB 51-55 ACDCD 语法填空（每题1.5分，共15分） 56. breaking 57. had finished 58. which 59. sold 60. it 61. connections 62. an 63. dramatically 64. as 65. strength 单词填空（每题1分，共10分） 66. sympathy 67. expansion 68. compensate 69. harmonious 70. conservation 71. consisting 72. is estimated 73.

In light of this, I strongly advocate all senior two students disconnecting from cellphones and reconnecting with our academic priorities. We can start with setting daily limits on phone use, restricting it to 30 minutes every day. Moreover, it’s more than rewarding to replace screen time with meaningful activities such as reviewing, discussing problems with classmates, or simply doing some light stretching to get refreshed. To make these new habits stick, why not form small mutual-support groups, where we gently remind and encourage one another to get rid of this bad habit? Time waits for no one, and neither does our dream. Let’s take action before it’s too late. Put down your phone and pick up your ambition! Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节：读后续写（满分25分） Paragraph 1: What Skimmy had said left me deep in thought. For years, I had been trying to imitate the great O’Neal—powerful, towering, and unstoppable. But unlike him, I was small, quick, and invisible on the court. Maybe that was my strength, not my weakness. That night, Skimmy’s words kept flashing back in my mind: “You are speedier than a meteor.” For the first time, I stopped wishing to be someone else and started thinking about taking full advantage of my strength. For the following days, I grabbed my ball and headed to the court, not to practice combating others, but to train my footwork, my crossovers, and my sprints. I practiced running past imaginary defenders, changing directions in an instant, and making fast passes. I wasn’t trying to be big anymore—I was trying to be lightning. Paragraph 2: Training for several days, I stepped onto the court with the new strategy. When Louis picked his team, he gave me his usual cold stare, but this time I just smiled. When the game kicked off, I stayed calm rather than defend the biggest opponent aimlessly. The moment the ball came to me, I dashed past a defender like a gust of wind, passing it to an open teammate for an easy score. My speed created space, fortunately breaking their defence, which made Louis stunned speechless. I didn’t score many points myself, but I assisted my teammates to secure several scores. When the final whistle rang, Louis patted me on the shoulder, praising, “Not bad, Shaq.” I walked past the bench, looked toward the nurse’s room, and saw Skimmy giving me a thumbs-up through the window. That day, it finally dawned on me that instead of being a giant, I just needed to be myself, only faster. · 听力原文 Text 1 M: Do I need a card to enter the building? W: Yes.

Today we're using a strong acid which can cause serious burns if it touches your skin. (18)If any chemical container is knocked over, don't panic. Tell me immediately and I'll handle the cleanup. Also, keep your hair tied back and avoid wearing loose clothes. We will work in pairs.One person will handle the tools while the other records the data.
