B Keeping food cold often comes with a hidden problem: Traditional ice melts（融化）, leaving pools of water that can make drinks watery, damage products, or even spread dangerous bacteria. Now, researchers at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis), have created jelly ice, a reusable and biodegradable（可生物降解的）alternative that cools like ice but never melts into liquid. The new material is made of 90% water and can be shaped into various forms. It stays solid below freezing, softens at room temperature, and can be reused by simply washing and refreezing. “Compared to the regular ice of the same shape and size, jelly ice has up to 80% of the cooling efficiency,” said Jiahan Zou, a study researcher. “We can reuse the material and maintain the heat absorbance across multiple cooling and warming cycles, an advantage that regular ice cannot offer.” The project began when UC Davis food scientists noticed how much ice was used in fish-processing plants and how meltwater could spread bacteria. Seeking a safer option for grocery seafood displays, the team turned to gelatin, a food-safe material whose protein structure can trap water even as it freezes and thaws（解冻）. After years of testing, the researchers perfected a simple, one-step process for making jelly ice. The material is made from natural components and can be biodegraded after use. It doesnˈt contribute to microplastic pollution, even offering a side benefit of improving tomato plant growth when added to soil. Beyond grocery stores, jelly ice could have wide applications. It could help preserve medical supplies during shipping, reduce waste in biotechnology, and provide reliable cooling options. It promises fresher food shipments without the mess of melting ice packs while also offering a sustainable alternative that reduces pollution risks and supports agriculture. Although licenses for the technology have already been secured, jelly ice is not yet available for public purchase. It still requires market analysis, product design, and large-scale production testing. Inspired by its success, the team is now studying other natural polymers, such as plant-based proteins, to see if similar innovations can be developed. 24.What is one advantage of jelly ice over traditional ice? A. Fixed shape. B. Saving water. C. Repeated use. D. Cooling efficiency. 25.What does the author imply about jelly ice in paragraphs 3 and 4? A. It stretches tomato growing cycles. B. It adopts a bacteria-free material. C. It shortens the freezing time. D. It lowers environmental impacts. 26.What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The official approval is underway. B. Jelly ice needs further development. C. Traditional ice will soon disappear. D. Other natural polymers will be available. 27.What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Game Changer That Controls Bacteria B. A Cooling Alternative That We Can Order C. A Cooling Material That Doesnˈt Melt D. A Quick Fix That Cuts Biological Pollution C Hidden beside the crowded Western Market food hall, a brightly-lit vending machine（自动售货机）is turning heads. Instead of snacks or drinks, this one sells something more enriching: books. Inspired by a European book vending machine and troubled by the struggles of her fellow prize-winning authors, Lauren Woods, an award-winning fiction author herself, launched LitBox. The vending machine serves works by Washington, D.C. -area authors, including those from small presses or ignored by traditional bookstores. For Woods, LitBox is more than a novel idea; itˈs a passion project designed to make local literature more available and the publishing world more inclusive. By offering literature from outside the usual commercial pattern, LitBox stands as a living challenge to an industry centering on major publishers. Woods holds that quality doesnˈt always match mass-market standards, and the sales back her up—readers now choose small-press titles at rates nearly equal to those from major ones. This reader support is especially significant for a city facing cuts in arts funding, as LitBox has proven itself an essential grass-roots literary lifeline. “Everyone is telling you that your words and your voice donˈt matter,” Woods said. “LitBox is my way of saying: Actually, they do.” LitBox features a variety of selections from poetry and fiction to childrenˈs books, all by D.C. –area writers. Noticing passers-by captured by the vending machine throughout the day, Western Marketˈs manager Danielle Fisher says that LitBox fits right into the community-first atmosphere of the space. “The idea that LitBox showcases local authors is really a special touch.” Woods collected nearly $7,000 to launch the project and is now working to expand it across D.C., especially in neighborhoods without access to small-press books. “Iˈm so proud to live in this city,” Woods said. “LitBox is my way of sharing my pride in the people I live with and talk to every day.” With one simple but powerful idea, Woods is helping rewrite the rules of access and visibility in publishing. 28.Why is LitBox a passion project to Woods? A. It possesses commercial potential. B. It promotes local literary works. C. It will help local literature win prizes. D. It will replace traditional bookstores. 29.What might Woods agree with? A. Readers avoid major publishers. B. Market standards define readership. C. Arts funding favors local literature. D. Small presses have big impacts. 30.What can be inferred about LitBox in paragraph 4? A. It reflects community services. B. It attracts business investment. C. It features authors nationwide. D. It receives public recognition. 31.How will Woods develop LitBox in the future? A. By cooperating with more publishers. B. By extending its distribution. C. By raising funds for more authors. D. By diversifying its book selection. D British man David Ferguson holds more than one identity. Though better known for his translations of Chinese classics and government documents, his connection with China began around two decades ago. He first came to China in 2004 to visit his future in-laws in Jilin. Two years later, he moved to China and soon discovered a striking contrast between the reality he witnessed and the narrative presented by certain Western media outlets. It was then that he resolved to become a journalist and share what he truly saw in person. During his years of reporting, one of his most memorable experiences is the one in Nantong, where he encountered self-made business people in the textile（纺织）industry who built international enterprises out of nothing. “In the early 1970s, one of them traveled to Romania with a backpack of pillowcases and tablecloths. Knowing little Romanian, he penciled the pronunciation of the words in Chinese pinyin so that he could communicate,” Ferguson recalled. “They make me understand why Chinese people are successful in business, and why China has a successful economy.” In 2010, Ferguson joined the Foreign Languages Press, and has since authored several books introducing Chinese cities. According to him, Chinaˈs remarkable achievements and prosperity（繁荣）over the past decades are also due to its stable social and economic systems. Besides, as a senior editor, his job is to carefully compare and refine the translations of the Chinese texts, insuring that they gain the broadest recognition in the English context. In 2023, David Ferguson was awarded the Orchid Awards, the recognition to international friends for encouraging cultural exchanges between China and the rest of the world. As he stated in his acceptance speech, among the people who built the Forbidden City, there were craftsmen, and there were also those who helped them carry materials. “Translators are the wood carriers,” he said. “What we build is development, prosperity and world peace.” 32.Why did Ferguson decide to become a journalist? A. To pursue a career in China. B. To present a true image of China. C. To introduce Chinese culture. D. To compare China and the West. 33.What factors contributed to Chinaˈs economic success, according to Ferguson? A. Chinese peopleˈs drive and creativity. B. Chinese peopleˈs vision and honesty. C. Chinese peopleˈs courage and integrity. D. Chinese peopleˈs generosity and patience. 34.Why does Ferguson compare translators to “wood carriers”? A. They play a crucial but hidden role. B. They take on minor responsibility. C. They do heavy and continuous work. D. They support professional exchanges. 35.What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A True Story Behind Western Media B. A Secret of Chinaˈs Rapid Development C. A Foreignerˈs Passion for Academic Exchange D. A British Manˈs Devotion to Documenting China 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。 When asked for an answer to a question, do you find yourself needing to explain your thoughts at length, going into too much detail to insure that your points are made?    (36)   You tend to explain something in more detail than required and beyond what is useful.    (37)   For someone asking a question, an overexplained answer can be quite confusing when a direct and simple response just works. However, for the person answering, they feel worried that the “direct and simple response” doesnˈt get across enough information. Overexplaining may start from a young age, especially for those who grew up in a house where they felt like they werenˈt listened to or heard.    (38)   This fear can follow into adulthood and lead to a need to explain everything so that theyˈre not punished again. Overexplaining might have developed as a handling strategy and defense mechanism, making it hard to stop, especially when coupled with a fear of rejection or being abandoned. Itˈs hard to stop overexplaining when itˈs hardwired into your brain. The key is being aware and attentive when youˈre explaining more than you should. Once you recognize it, you can try to hold back a little. It takes time to learn how to wrestle with the urge to say more.    (39)   One of the hardest things is learning to “just say no”. When youˈre asked to do something you donˈt really want to do, it can be difficult not to explain in detail.    (40)   In truth, the overexplanation is more to ease your sense of guilt. However, you donˈt owe anyone an explanation. Itˈs perfectly okay to simply say, “No, but thank you for the offer.” A．In this case you are overexplaining. B．But it gets easier with more practice. C．You feel sorry for what you have explained. D．Overexplaining upsets both ends of the conversation. E．They were worried about the environment they grew up in. F．Maybe they even got punished without a chance to explain. G．By overexplaining, you intend to save the other personˈs feelings. 四、完形填空：本大题共15小题，共15分。 The old tree in our backyard had always been there. Its branches stretched wide,      (41)     much of the sunlight. When autumn came, its leaves covered the ground and filled our garbage bags. One weekend, I decided it was time for the tree to go. It made the yard      (42)   , and I wanted more light for the garden. I called a local worker, who came to take a look. “Itˈs      (43)   ,” he said. “Are you sure? ” I nodded. “I think so.” The next morning, before the work      (44)   , my daughter asked what was happening. When I told her, she grew      (45)   . “Thatˈs where the birds sleep,” she said. I hadnˈt thought about that. Still, I believed I had made a practical      (46)   . While waiting, I stood under the tree and looked up. I noticed small      (47)   on the trunk—lines showing how much it had grown over the years. I      (48)   tying a swing to one of its branches when my daughter was little, and sitting in the      (49)    on hot summer afternoons. When the worker arrived, I      (50)   . “Could we wait a bit?” I asked. We never did      (51)    the tree. Instead, we trimmed（修剪）a few branches. The yard stayed a little messy, and the garden got a little less      (52)   than I had expected. But the birds returned, and so did something else—a sense of      (53)   . Now, when leaves fall in autumn, I      (54)   them with my daughter. It takes more time, but I no longer see it as a problem. Sometimes, keeping something is more      (55)   than clearing it away. 41.A. absorbing B. reflecting C. leaking D. blocking 42.A. busy B. messy C. lively D. deserted 43.A. healthy B. dead C. ugly D. neat 44.A. began B. ended C. continued D. stopped 45.A. excited B. quiet C. interested D. exhausted 46.A. rule B. deal C. choice D. assumption 47.A. bugs B. nests C. branches D. marks 48.A. remembered B. imagined C. celebrated D. admitted 49.A. tent B. trunk C. shade D. forest 50.A. fainted B. confirmed C. hesitated D. complained 51.A. cut down B. sell off C. bring back D. climb up 52.A. air B. light C. color D. attention 53.A. mystery B. distance C. humanity D. balance 54.A. hide B. observe C. gather D. store 55.A. graceful B. meaningful C. creative D. convenient 五、语法填空：本大题共1小题，共15分。 Initially built during the Sui Dynasty, the Xiˈan City Wall now circles the historic city, yet its long life has not escaped damage. By the early 1980s, before Xiˈan undertook a      (56)   (sweep) restoration campaign, much of the structure      (57)   (fall) into a state of disrepair. Today, data has become the wallˈs newest guardian. High-precision 3-D modeling has mapped its entire structure, creating      (58)   complete digital foundation. Plus, over 3,000 monitoring points and over 1,300 smart devices track minor signs of structural damage      (59)   (cause) by anything from settlement to displacement, and feed data into a center      (60)    AI analyzes and anticipates potential risks. These findings have not just informed targeted repairs that preserve the City Wall,      (61)    addressed hidden weaknesses as well. While technology plays a key role in its      (62)    (preserve), the wall has long been part of citizensˈ daily life in Xiˈan. Visitors bike along its 12-meter-wide top, watch cultural performances, or take photos while dressed      (63)   traditional hanfu against the backdrop of its ancient gates. Around the wall, some cafés and guesthouses offer “wall-view” rooms. The contrast between the modern and the old connects locals to the      (64)    (dynasty) that once ruled from here. Watching the city evolve through centuries, the wall is more than bricks and earth. Here, tradition meets technology, and the past      (65)    (breathe) through modern life—brick by brick, byte（字节）by byte. 六、书面表达：本大题共1小题，共15分。 66.假定你是李华，上周你参加了市美术馆在你校组织的“艺术进校园”活动。请给你的英国朋友Alex写一封邮件分享此次经历，内容包括： (1)活动内容； (2)你的感想。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Alex, Iˈm writing to share with you the “Art Comes to Campus” activity at our school last week. _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 七、任务型读写：本大题共1小题，共25分。 67.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 As Ella managed to get through the fan zone area, she thought about Tom Masterton. He had the seat next to hers and each week, before and after the match, there was always time for a casual chat. Now, after long, drawn-out weeks without their beloved football, she was eager to share her new college life and catch up on Tomˈs recent news. His family didnˈt share his love of the beautiful game, so he seemed happy to chat with Ella. He was proud of his children and grandkids, though, and lived in the hope that, one day, Theo, his youngest grandson, might understand and come along. At the entrance Ella opened her backpack for a security check. Two bars of chocolate sat on top ready for the big moment. It had become sort of a rule that the two would eat a square each after every home goal. Ella made her way to her seat, put down her backpack and looked at the empty space beside her. Usually her old friend would be ready and waiting, holding up his ancient mechanical watch as a joke when she arrived. It wasnˈt like him to be late, which made her uneasy. Just then, a young man edged past her and sat straight down in Tomˈs seat. She glanced at him, failing to find any sign to identify him as a home supporter. And he seemed quite uninterested in the fact that their team had just scored. He even stole a quick glance at Ella as if they had known each other. Suddenly, a voice came from the ground announcer asking all supporters to stand and pay tribute（致敬）to a home supporter who had recently passed away. Ella froze in her seat—the tribute took place in the 76th minute and Tom was aged seventy-six. The club rose as one, clapping solidly for 60 seconds to show their appreciation for a long-time fellow supporter. 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。 Ella noticed tears were rolling down the young manˈs cheeks. _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ Ella broke off a square of chocolate as usual and handed it to Theo. _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页，共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年上学期高一期末考试 答案和解析 【答案】 1.

Dear Alex, Iˈm writing to share with you the “Art Comes to Campus” activity at our school last week. It was organized by the city art museum to bring art closer to the students. I was really impressed by the remarkable paintings and intricate sculptures, which provided a chance for me to appreciate the artistic techniques behind these works. What excited me most was that I even tried my hand at some simple sketching! Not only did the activity refine my taste in art, but also it inspired me to look at the world through an artistˈs eyes. Iˈd love to hear if you have participated in similar events at your school. Canˈt wait to hear back from you. Yours, Li Hua 67. Ella noticed tears were rolling down the young manˈs cheeks. Suddenly it clicked—he must be Theo, Tomˈs youngest grandson. Handing him some tissues, Ella asked gently, “Youˈre Theo, arenˈt you?” The young man nodded, his voice trembling as he choked out, “Grandpa always talked about you, Ella. He reminded me that I must be here today, or he would fail a trusted friend.” Memories of Tomˈs ancient mechanical watch and their casual chats flashed back until cheers for a home goal interrupted Ellaˈs mind. Ella broke off a square of chocolate as usual and handed it to Theo. “For that home goal,” Ella smiled with her teary eyes. “Itˈs what we have been doing for those years.” They both took a bite, the sweet chocolate melting in their mouths. Theo looked around at the cheering crowd, and for the first time, he understood the joy and sense of community that football had brought his grandpa. As the match went on, they chatted like old friends, keeping Tomˈs memory alive in the fan zone. 听力原文： 1. 听力原文： M: Hi, Louisa! How was your weekend? W: It was kind of boring and tiring.
