When I knocked on her door this past spring, Ducrot, who is tall and upright, grasped my hand more firmly than I would have expected, saying, “I must tell you immediately that I have never been so happy in my life!” Only in the past five years has Ducrot, who turned ninety-four in June, become internationally recognized for her art, which she didn’t even begin making until she was in her fifties. When creating her works, she stands and uses a brush sometimes attached to a stick, sweeping ink or paint onto paper. Typically made in series, her works are light, energetic, and beautiful. An Italian scholar writes that he, as well as many others, was amazed to discover that the creator of such delicate works is “a lady who is well over the age of eighty.” Of course, this reaction says as much about the limitations of the observer’s imagination as it does about the reaches of Ducrot’s. Andrea Viliani, who will exhibit a selection of Ducrot’s works this summer, told me Ducrot is fortunate that her preferred methods and materials remain relatively easy for her to handle, compared with sculpting metal or painting with oils on heavy canvases (画布). “Her work is easy to hold, easy to paint, and easy to store,” Viliani said. “It is very convenient that she chose something so soft.” We tend to assign to the elderly the vague (模糊的) and often fading quality of wisdom, thus suggesting that their own creative and intellectual growth has come to an end, and that their only role left is to give advice to others. Ducrot’s life offers an alternative possibility: An individual might keep wide-eyed and open to experience until the very end. 24. When did Ducrot begin creating art? A. In her fifties. B. After she turned 90. C. In the past five years. D. When she was young. 25. What does Viliani consider an advantage of Ducrot’s artistic methods? A. They are delicate and soft. B. They are similar to sculpting. C. They require heavy materials. D. They are convenient to handle. 26. What is the author’s attitude towards the common view of the elderly mentioned in the last paragraph? A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Neutral. D. Unclear. 27. What message does Ducrot’s life convey about aging? A. Wisdom only comes with age. B. Aging limits intellectual growth. C. The elderly should stop creating. D. One can stay open to new experiences. C Our lives are increasingly getting faster. A text message arrives, we feel it necessary to respond immediately. An email appears, and we interrupt whatever we were doing to acknowledge it. If something is asking for our attention right now, we believe it must deserve it. But urgency and importance are not the same thing. Urgent matters demand immediate action. Important matters shape how we live our lives. The problem is that urgent matters are almost always easier to address. They arrive clearly defined and time-bound: Answer this message, meet this deadline. Once completed, they give us the satisfying feeling of progress. Important matters, such as how we take care of our health and advance in our careers, unfold slowly. They require reflection rather than reaction. Questions in these areas don’t demand immediate answers, but you do have to answer them, since they greatly influence how you will live your life. When we respond to immediate cues rather than consider distant consequences, we gradually shift our attention away from what matters most. We become good at managing the urgent while forgetting about what’s important. Over time, the patterns we create through reacting rather than reflecting solidify into what I like to call “life grooves.” The more deeply those grooves form, the harder they are to step out of. In this way, urgency culture can quietly limit our freedom. Living well requires more than efficiently responding to external demands. It involves choosing actions and cultivating habits that reflect the kind of person you want to become. But reflection takes time, and urgency rarely makes space for it. So, one of the first steps to living well is choosing to give yourself the time to make good choices. The question of how to spend a single afternoon may seem trivial (琐碎的), but the pattern of how we spend our afternoons shapes who we become. Not everything urgent is important, and the challenge is recognizing the difference before our habits create a life for us that we would rather not have. 28. What problem does the author point out in Paragraph 1? A. People fail to distinguish urgency from importance. B. Modern communication makes life more stressful. C. Emails and messages are always time-consuming. D. People have too many tasks to complete each day. 29. What does the underlined phrase “life grooves” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Ways to reflect on important matters. B. Physical tracks worn by daily activities. C. Temporary solutions to urgent problems. D. Deep habits formed by constant reactions. 30. What can be inferred about important matters from the text? A. They always require immediate action. B. They are often overlooked due to urgency. C. They are less valuable than urgent ones. D. They are easier to identify than urgent ones. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Urgent vs. Important: Know the Difference B. How to Save Time in a Fast-Paced World C. The Power of Immediate Response D. Why We Should Ignore All External Demands D Sleep is one of the most fundamental building blocks of life. All animals sleep, from dogs to humans. It has long been known that sleep also plays a significant role in physical and emotional health. But nobody might think that memory and learning are acquired while one is sleeping. However, in fact, the researchers from the University of South Australia have recently found that just the reverse (相反) is true. The researchers conducted an experiment with 35 native English speakers. These 35 participants were in the process of learning a mini-language called Mini Pinyan. Half of the students learned the language in the morning and then went on with their days, while the other half studied in the evening and then slept at the lab so that the researchers could record their brainwaves. Both groups were tested on their knowledge of Mini Pinyan in the morning, and the group that had slept soon after they studied performed significantly better than those who had not. According to previous research, there are two phases that the brain cycles through when sleeping. The first is called REM sleep. During this phase, which usually takes place about an hour and a half after a person has fallen asleep, brain activity peaks and shows levels similar to when that person is awake. This is when dreams occur. In non-REM sleep, brain activity is low. “Sleep is not just restful; it’s an active, transformative state for the brain,” Dr. Scott Cousins, a researcher of the study, said. They found that the improvements were linked to two types of brainwaves — slow oscillations and sleep spindles, which become coupled during non-REM sleep. The coupling of these brainwaves appears to help the transfer of information from the hippocampus to the cortex (大脑皮层), which is where long-term memory is stored. There is no doubt that it is good news for anyone who wants to study a foreign language. What’s more, the implications of this study could also help improve the lives of those with language-related impairments (障碍). Now there is one more reason to get a good night’s sleep. 32. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph? A. By presenting a common belief and then contradicting it. B. By listing various animals that need sleep. C. By describing a personal experience with learning. D. By defining sleep as a basic need for life. 33. What was the key difference between the two groups in the experiment? A. The time of day they studied. B. The language they learned. C. The timing of sleep after learning. D. The length of their sleep period. 34. Why does the author mention the coupling of brainwaves in Paragraph 4? A. To explain how memory is stored during sleep. B. To compare REM sleep with non-REM sleep. C. To show that sleep is a resting state. D. To prove that dreams occur in REM sleep. 35. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To encourage people to sleep more after studying a language. B. To explain the differences between REM and non-REM sleep. C. To describe the procedures of a scientific experiment on sleep. D. To highlight the beneficial effects of sleep on learning and memory. 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。 What if we could fight farm weeds with a precise strike instead of blanket chemicals? This vision is now becoming a reality in the farmlands of China. The HG Laser Weeder is a new machine developed by Huagong Tech. ____36____ This advancement responds directly to the persistent problems associated with traditional farming. ____37____ As a result, it has caused great harm to the environment, including the degradation of soil and the pollution of water. For China, a nation with vast agricultural lands, finding a sustainable solution is a matter of particular urgency. So, how does this “robot farmer” work? ____38____ Its AI-powered visual system, trained on a vast database of plant images, acts as a smart “eye” that can distinguish weeds from crops in milliseconds. Once a weed is spotted, the robot delivers a precise laser beam (激光束) to each weed’s growth center, destroying key cells and causing the plant to die naturally, all without harming the surrounding crops or the soil. ____39____ In terms of efficiency, an advanced model equipped with 32 laser heads can destroy up to 320,000 weeds per hour. Through continuous operation, it achieves a weed control rate of over 95%. Ecologically, it significantly reduces the use of chemicals, thus cutting off a primary source of agricultural pollution. The introduction of this technology is part of a broader shift toward automated and sustainable agriculture in China and abroad. ____40____ With this approach, data-driven tools enable farmers to manage their crops with greater accuracy and less dependence on chemicals, which points the way for a cleaner, more efficient future for farming. A. The advantages of this approach are substantial. B. It marks a major breakthrough in precision agriculture. C. This technology signals a move toward precision agriculture. D. The heavy use of chemical herbicides has continued for decades. E. Now this new machine has already been widely adopted across China. F. At its core, it combines artificial intelligence with advanced light technology. G. However, the high cost of the laser weeder remains a major obstacle for most farmers. 第三部分 语言运用（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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Years ago, I was visiting Naples with my daughter.

World War II found many families struggling just to meet their needs, and Christmas trees seemed to be the furthest thing from their minds. Our family was no different. With six children I knew we would have a poor Christmas, but would it be without our family’s annual Christmas tree? Early that morning Papa loaded all six of us children in the car and we headed for the closest Christmas tree lot. As we pulled into the lot I could hear myself saying, “We’re going to have a Christmas tree!” Everyone piled out of the car and started running to a tree hoping it would be the one Papa would pick. He glanced around the lot knowing that this close to Christmas he could probably do some bargaining (讨价还价). He walked over to the area marked $3. He looked at several of the trees, walked to another area and picked out one that was missing several branches. He approached the salesman and offered him 50 cents. The salesman looked at Papa and then at us six children. He offered a dollar instead. “Done,” Papa said. I couldn’t believe what Papa had just done. He had just agreed to buy the ugliest Christmas tree I had ever seen. How could he? What was he thinking? Papa reached into his pocket and pulled out a silver dollar. I realized at that moment it was all the money he had. He handed it to the salesman and picked up the tree, ordering all of us children back to the car while he tied it onto the roof. After he had finished securing it to the car he walked over to where a large stack (堆) of branches lay on the ground and asked the salesman if he could take some. The salesman agreed and Papa picked up several and handed them to us to hold on our laps while we returned home. 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。 As we arrived, Papa quickly unloaded the tree. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That evening all of the family gathered to decorate the tree. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★启用前 2025-2026学年高二年级第二学期期末学情分析检测 英语 班级________ 姓名________ 本试卷共12页，满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、班级和考号填写在答题卡上。 2．作答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目选项的答案信息点涂黑；如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案。非选择题必须用黑色字迹钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内相应位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案；不准使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答的答案无效。答案不能答在试卷上。 3．考生必须保持答题卡的整洁，考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Which museum does the woman highly recommend?

C 【解析】 【原文】W: Jeans are simple trousers which began as workwear. In the past, miners and cowboys needed durable clothing that could last through long hard days of physical labor. Jeans were made of a strong cotton material called denim, which could resist wear and tear. In the late 1800s, a businessman named Levi Strauss together with a tailor named Jacob Davis created the first blue jeans for workers, and they became popular among laborers. In the 1950s, Hollywood stars like James Dean wore jeans in movies, and teenagers copied the style. Jeans became a symbol of youth culture. In the 1960s and 1970s, new styles appeared. Since the 1980s, famous fashion designers have added their labels, turning jeans into high-fashion items. They started producing jeans with different washes, cuts and finishes, making them suitable for various occasions. Today, jeans are worn by all ages, from children to the elderly. With so many choices — skinny, straight, bootcut or relaxed — it’s easy to find a pair that matches your personality. Jeans have truly come a long way from their humble beginnings as workwear, and they remain one of the most popular clothing items worldwide. 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。 A Vintage Cash Cow Do you have a home full of things you’re ready to part with?

Everything was handled without delay.(我周四免费寄出了商品，到了下周三就收到了银行账户的付款。整个过程处理得非常及时)”可知，该服务节省时间。 B For more than two decades, Isabella Ducrot, an artist who was born in Naples in 1931, has lived in an apartment in the center of Rome. When I knocked on her door this past spring, Ducrot, who is tall and upright, grasped my hand more firmly than I would have expected, saying, “I must tell you immediately that I have never been so happy in my life!” Only in the past five years has Ducrot, who turned ninety-four in June, become internationally recognized for her art, which she didn’t even begin making until she was in her fifties. When creating her works, she stands and uses a brush sometimes attached to a stick, sweeping ink or paint onto paper. Typically made in series, her works are light, energetic, and beautiful. An Italian scholar writes that he, as well as many others, was amazed to discover that the creator of such delicate works is “a lady who is well over the age of eighty.” Of course, this reaction says as much about the limitations of the observer’s imagination as it does about the reaches of Ducrot’s. Andrea Viliani, who will exhibit a selection of Ducrot’s works this summer, told me Ducrot is fortunate that her preferred methods and materials remain relatively easy for her to handle, compared with sculpting metal or painting with oils on heavy canvases (画布). “Her work is easy to hold, easy to paint, and easy to store,” Viliani said. “It is very convenient that she chose something so soft.” We tend to assign to the elderly the vague (模糊的) and often fading quality of wisdom, thus suggesting that their own creative and intellectual growth has come to an end, and that their only role left is to give advice to others. Ducrot’s life offers an alternative possibility: An individual might keep wide-eyed and open to experience until the very end. 24. When did Ducrot begin creating art? A. In her fifties. B. After she turned 90. C. In the past five years. D. When she was young. 25. What does Viliani consider an advantage of Ducrot’s artistic methods? A. They are delicate and soft. B. They are similar to sculpting. C. They require heavy materials. D. They are convenient to handle. 26. What is the author’s attitude towards the common view of the elderly mentioned in the last paragraph? A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Neutral. D. Unclear. 27. What message does Ducrot’s life convey about aging? A. Wisdom only comes with age. B. Aging limits intellectual growth. C. The elderly should stop creating. D. One can stay open to new experiences. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍意大利高龄艺术家Isabella Ducrot晚年开启艺术创作、九十多岁收获国际认可，并通过她的人生经历打破大众对老年群体创造力衰退的固有认知。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Only in the past five years has Ducrot, who turned ninety-four in June, become internationally recognized for her art, which she didn’t even begin making until she was in her fifties.(今年6月年满94岁的Ducrot，近五年才凭借艺术作品获得国际认可，她直到五十多岁才开始进行艺术创作。)”可知，Ducrot在五十多岁时开始进行艺术创作。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Andrea Viliani, who will exhibit a selection of Ducrot’s works this summer, told me Ducrot is fortunate that her preferred methods and materials remain relatively easy for her to handle, compared with sculpting metal or painting with oils on heavy canvases (画布).(今年夏天将展出Ducrot部分作品的Andrea Viliani表示，相较于金属雕塑、厚重画布油画，Ducrot所选用的创作方式和材料相对易于操作，这是她的幸运。)”可知，Viliani认为Ducrot的艺术创作方式便于操作、十分便捷。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We tend to assign to the elderly the vague (模糊的) and often fading quality of wisdom, thus suggesting that their own creative and intellectual growth has come to an end, and that their only role left is to give advice to others. Ducrot’s life offers an alternative possibility: An individual might keep wide-eyed and open to experience until the very end.(我们往往认为老年人只剩日渐消退的智慧，创造力和智力发展已然停滞，只能为他人提供建议，而Ducrot的人生印证了另一种可能：人可以始终保持热忱，终生接纳新鲜事物、体验新生活。)”可推知，作者不认同这种大众对老年人的固化观点，对此持批判态度。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Ducrot’s life offers an alternative possibility: An individual might keep wide-eyed and open to experience until the very end.(Ducrot的人生印证了另一种可能：人可以始终保持热忱，终生接纳新鲜事物、体验新生活。)”可知，Ducrot的人生经历告诉人们，人年老后依旧可以接纳新体验、保持鲜活的心态。 C Our lives are increasingly getting faster. A text message arrives, we feel it necessary to respond immediately. An email appears, and we interrupt whatever we were doing to acknowledge it. If something is asking for our attention right now, we believe it must deserve it. But urgency and importance are not the same thing. Urgent matters demand immediate action. Important matters shape how we live our lives. The problem is that urgent matters are almost always easier to address. They arrive clearly defined and time-bound: Answer this message, meet this deadline. Once completed, they give us the satisfying feeling of progress. Important matters, such as how we take care of our health and advance in our careers, unfold slowly. They require reflection rather than reaction. Questions in these areas don’t demand immediate answers, but you do have to answer them, since they greatly influence how you will live your life. When we respond to immediate cues rather than consider distant consequences, we gradually shift our attention away from what matters most. We become good at managing the urgent while forgetting about what’s important. Over time, the patterns we create through reacting rather than reflecting solidify into what I like to call “life grooves.” The more deeply those grooves form, the harder they are to step out of. In this way, urgency culture can quietly limit our freedom. Living well requires more than efficiently responding to external demands. It involves choosing actions and cultivating habits that reflect the kind of person you want to become. But reflection takes time, and urgency rarely makes space for it. So, one of the first steps to living well is choosing to give yourself the time to make good choices. The question of how to spend a single afternoon may seem trivial (琐碎的), but the pattern of how we spend our afternoons shapes who we become. Not everything urgent is important, and the challenge is recognizing the difference before our habits create a life for us that we would rather not have. 28. What problem does the author point out in Paragraph 1? A. People fail to distinguish urgency from importance. B. Modern communication makes life more stressful. C. Emails and messages are always time-consuming. D. People have too many tasks to complete each day. 29. What does the underlined phrase “life grooves” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Ways to reflect on important matters. B. Physical tracks worn by daily activities. C. Temporary solutions to urgent problems. D. Deep habits formed by constant reactions. 30. What can be inferred about important matters from the text? A. They always require immediate action. B. They are often overlooked due to urgency. C. They are less valuable than urgent ones. D. They are easier to identify than urgent ones. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Urgent vs. Important: Know the Difference B. How to Save Time in a Fast-Paced World C. The Power of Immediate Response D. Why We Should Ignore All External Demands 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了现代生活中人们习惯于立刻回应所有紧急事务，阐述了紧急事务与重要事务的区别，指出长期优先处理紧急事务会形成固化习惯限制个人自由，呼吁人们留出时间给重要事务，分清紧急和重要的区别。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“If something is asking for our attention right now, we believe it must deserve it. But urgency and importance are not the same thing. (如果有事情现在就需要我们关注，我们就会认为它理应得到我们的关注。但紧急和重要并不是一回事。)”可知，作者在第一段指出的问题是人们没能区分紧急和重要二者。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“Over time, the patterns we create through reacting rather than reflecting solidify into what I like to call “life grooves”. The more deeply those grooves form, the harder they are to step out of. (久而久之，这种遇事只会被动反应、不加思考的固定模式，就固化成了我所说的‘life grooves’。这种模式形成得越深，就越难摆脱。)”可知，划线短语指长期被动应对紧急事务、不主动思考所形成的固定深层生活习惯模式，即生活惯性，对应选项D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“When we respond to immediate cues rather than consider distant consequences, we gradually shift our attention away from what matters most. We become good at managing the urgent while forgetting about what’s important. (当我们总是回应即时的信号，不考虑长远结果时，我们会逐渐把注意力从最重要的事情转移走。我们变得擅长处理紧急事务，却遗忘了重要事务。)”可推知，人们忙于处理紧急事务，常常忽略重要事情。即重要事务常常因为紧急事务被人们忽略。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Our lives are increasingly getting faster. A text message arrives, we feel it necessary to respond immediately. An email appears, and we interrupt whatever we were doing to acknowledge it. If something is asking for our attention right now, we believe it must deserve it. But urgency and importance are not the same thing. (我们的生活节奏变得越来越快。一条短信发来，我们就觉得必须立刻回复；一封邮件弹出，我们会停下手中正在做的一切去处理。只要有事情当下需要我们关注，我们就认为这件事理应优先处理。但紧急和重要根本不是一回事。)”及最后一段“Not everything urgent is important, and the challenge is recognizing the difference before our habits create a life for us that we would rather not have. (并非所有紧急的事都是重要的，我们面临的挑战是，在习惯为我们塑造出我们不想要的生活之前，认清二者的区别。)”并结合全文可知，文章围绕紧急事务和重要事务的区别展开，讨论了人们混淆二者带来的问题，呼吁人们认清二者的区别。选项A“Urgent vs. Important: Know the Difference (紧急事务与重要事务：分清二者区别)”能概括全文主旨，适合作为标题。 D Sleep is one of the most fundamental building blocks of life. All animals sleep, from dogs to humans. It has long been known that sleep also plays a significant role in physical and emotional health. But nobody might think that memory and learning are acquired while one is sleeping. However, in fact, the researchers from the University of South Australia have recently found that just the reverse (相反) is true. The researchers conducted an experiment with 35 native English speakers. These 35 participants were in the process of learning a mini-language called Mini Pinyan. Half of the students learned the language in the morning and then went on with their days, while the other half studied in the evening and then slept at the lab so that the researchers could record their brainwaves. Both groups were tested on their knowledge of Mini Pinyan in the morning, and the group that had slept soon after they studied performed significantly better than those who had not. According to previous research, there are two phases that the brain cycles through when sleeping. The first is called REM sleep. During this phase, which usually takes place about an hour and a half after a person has fallen asleep, brain activity peaks and shows levels similar to when that person is awake. This is when dreams occur. In non-REM sleep, brain activity is low. “Sleep is not just restful; it’s an active, transformative state for the brain,” Dr. Scott Cousins, a researcher of the study, said. They found that the improvements were linked to two types of brainwaves — slow oscillations and sleep spindles, which become coupled during non-REM sleep. The coupling of these brainwaves appears to help the transfer of information from the hippocampus to the cortex (大脑皮层), which is where long-term memory is stored. There is no doubt that it is good news for anyone who wants to study a foreign language. What’s more, the implications of this study could also help improve the lives of those with language-related impairments (障碍). Now there is one more reason to get a good night’s sleep. 32. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph? A. By presenting a common belief and then contradicting it. B. By listing various animals that need sleep. C. By describing a personal experience with learning. D. By defining sleep as a basic need for life. 33. What was the key difference between the two groups in the experiment? A. The time of day they studied. B. The language they learned. C. The timing of sleep after learning. D. The length of their sleep period. 34. Why does the author mention the coupling of brainwaves in Paragraph 4? A. To explain how memory is stored during sleep. B. To compare REM sleep with non-REM sleep. C. To show that sleep is a resting state. D. To prove that dreams occur in REM sleep. 35. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To encourage people to sleep more after studying a language. B. To explain the differences between REM and non-REM sleep. C. To describe the procedures of a scientific experiment on sleep. D. To highlight the beneficial effects of sleep on learning and memory. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】文章先提出人们普遍不认为睡眠时能巩固记忆、提升学习效果，随后介绍南澳大学的相关实验，对比两组学习者的测试结果，解释睡眠中两类脑电波协同作用助力记忆转化的原理，说明睡眠对学习与记忆有积极作用，对外语学习者及语言障碍人群均有益处。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第一段“But nobody might think that memory and learning are acquired while one is sleeping. However, in fact, the researchers from the University of South Australia have recently found that just the reverse (相反) is true.(没人会认为人在睡眠过程中能形成记忆、习得知识。但事实上，南澳大利亚大学的研究人员近期发现事实恰恰相反)”可知，作者先提出大众普遍认知，再提出与之相反的新研究结论来引出主题。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第二段“Half of the students learned the language in the morning and then went on with their days, while the other half studied in the evening and then slept at the lab so that the researchers could record their brainwaves.(一半学生在早上学习这门语言，之后正常度过一天；另一半学生在晚上学习，随后在实验室睡觉，方便研究人员记录他们的脑电波)”可知，两组实验对象的关键区别是学习后入睡的时间不同。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第四段“The coupling of these brainwaves appears to help the transfer of information from the hippocampus to the cortex (大脑皮层), which is where long-term memory is stored.(这两种脑电波的协同作用似乎有助于信息从海马体转移到负责储存长期记忆的大脑皮层)”可知，作者提及脑电波协同作用是为了解释睡眠过程中记忆储存的运作机制。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第一段“But nobody might think that memory and learning are acquired while one is sleeping. However, in fact, the researchers from the University of South Australia have recently found that just the reverse (相反) is true.(没人会认为记忆和学习是在睡眠过程中巩固的。但事实上，南澳大利亚大学的研究人员近期发现事实恰恰相反)”及全文内容可知，全文围绕实验证明睡眠有助于巩固学习内容、形成长期记忆展开，讲解背后脑部工作原理并点明该研究的实用价值，因此文章主要目的是强调睡眠对学习和记忆的积极作用。 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。 What if we could fight farm weeds with a precise strike instead of blanket chemicals?

Being far from the ocean, it seems impossible ____56____ (raise) seafood there. Surprisingly, this dry and sandy region has now become a successful place for aquaculture. How is that possible? Xinjiang is home ____57____ numerous rivers, lakes and reservoirs (水库). However, its long hours of sunlight, dry climate and extensive saline-alkali land (盐碱地) pose ____58____ (challenge) for plant growth and aquaculture. Since 2017, the Chinese government has been encouraging the ____59____ (explore) of saline-alkali aquaculture. But in Aral, ____60____ sits on saline-alkali land, local farmers once struggled to make it work. The breakthrough came through key technological support from ____61____ team of sci-tech specialists sent to Xinjiang as part of an aid program from the eastern Zhejiang Province. The team carried out extensive sampling and analysis of underground saline-alkaline water across Aral, identified its key differences from natural seawater, and finally removed the ____62____ (technique) barriers to farming seafood in the desert. In addition to the right water conditions, local farming teams spent years developing a recirculating aquaculture model suited to Xinjiang’s dry climate, ____63____ (gradual) solving water shortages and creating a model that can be reproduced and promoted elsewhere. Now more than 10 seafood species ____64____ (farm) on a large scale in saline-alkaline water along the desert edge. Dozens of aquaculture companies have moved in, ____65____ (turn) once barren wasteland into a growing source of income. 【答案】56. to raise 57. to 58. challenges 59. exploration 60. which 61. a 62. technical 63. gradually 64. are farmed 65. turning 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍新疆阿拉尔依托盐碱水土，借助浙江援疆技术攻克海鲜养殖难题，将荒漠变为增收之地。 【56题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：它远离海洋，在这里养殖海鲜似乎是不可能的。本句使用固定句型“it seems+形容词+to do sth.”，要将raise变成动词不定式to raise。 【57题详解】 考查介词。句意：新疆拥有众多河流、湖泊与水库。be home to...是固定搭配，意为“是……的所在地、拥有……”，介词to符合题干要求。 【58题详解】 考查名词。句意：但漫长日照、干燥气候以及大片盐碱地给植物生长和水产养殖带来诸多难题。前文“its long hours of sunlight, dry climate and extensive saline-alkali land”列举多种不利条件，对应多项挑战；challenge是可数名词，此处表示多个困难，因此变为复数形式challenges。 【59题详解】 考查名词。句意：自2017年起，中国政府一直鼓励探索盐碱水产养殖。空前有定冠词 the，空后有介词 of，此处特指“对盐碱地水产养殖的探索”这一抽象概念，要将动词explore转换为单数名词exploration。 【60题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：但坐落在盐碱地上的阿拉尔，当地农户曾经很难开展水产养殖。______ sits on saline-alkali land是关系词引导的非限制性定语从句修饰先行词Aral；先行词指事物，所填关系词在该从句中作主语，关系代词要用which。 【61题详解】 考查冠词。句意：来自东部浙江省援疆项目的一支科技专家团队提供关键技术支持，才实现突破。所填词修饰名词短语team of sci-tech specialists，要用冠词；单数可数名词 team是首次出现的单数可数名词且以辅音音素开头，要用不定冠词a表示泛指。 【62题详解】 考查形容词。句意：团队全面采样分析阿拉尔地下盐碱水，找出它与天然海水的核心差异，最终扫除沙漠养殖海鲜的技术障碍。所填词作定语修饰名词barriers，要将名词technique转换为形容词technical，意为“技术的”。 【63题详解】 考查副词。句意：除适配的水质条件外，当地养殖团队耗时多年研发适配新疆干燥气候的循环水产养殖模式，逐步解决缺水问题，并打造可复制推广的养殖样板。所填词作状语修饰V-ing形式solving，需将形容词gradual变为副词gradually。 【64题详解】 考查动词时态、语态与主谓一致。句意：如今十余种海产品在沙漠边缘的盐碱水中规模化养殖。时间状语是Now，所填词作谓语且描述客观事实，时态要用一般现在时；主语more than 10 seafood species是复数名词，与提示词farm之间是语义上的被动关系，要用一般现在时的被动语态are farmed。 【65题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：数十家水产企业入驻，把曾经荒芜的荒地打造为持续增收的产业来源。句子有谓语have moved in，无并列连词连接提示词turn，要将turn变成非谓语动词；________ once barren wasteland into a growing source of income是主句带来的自然结果，要用现在分词turning作结果状语。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66. 假定你是李华，你的英国朋友Tom来信询问你校近期开展的环保活动情况。请你给他回信，内容包括： 1．活动的名称和主要内容（如垃圾分类讲座、旧物交换等）； 2．你参与活动的感受； 3．你对环保重要性的认识。 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 Tom, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Tom, I’m glad to receive your letter and tell you about our school’s Green Earth environmental activities.

World War II found many families struggling just to meet their needs, and Christmas trees seemed to be the furthest thing from their minds. Our family was no different. With six children I knew we would have a poor Christmas, but would it be without our family’s annual Christmas tree? Early that morning Papa loaded all six of us children in the car and we headed for the closest Christmas tree lot. As we pulled into the lot I could hear myself saying, “We’re going to have a Christmas tree!” Everyone piled out of the car and started running to a tree hoping it would be the one Papa would pick. He glanced around the lot knowing that this close to Christmas he could probably do some bargaining (讨价还价). He walked over to the area marked $3. He looked at several of the trees, walked to another area and picked out one that was missing several branches. He approached the salesman and offered him 50 cents. The salesman looked at Papa and then at us six children. He offered a dollar instead. “Done,” Papa said. I couldn’t believe what Papa had just done. He had just agreed to buy the ugliest Christmas tree I had ever seen. How could he? What was he thinking? Papa reached into his pocket and pulled out a silver dollar. I realized at that moment it was all the money he had. He handed it to the salesman and picked up the tree, ordering all of us children back to the car while he tied it onto the roof. After he had finished securing it to the car he walked over to where a large stack (堆) of branches lay on the ground and asked the salesman if he could take some. The salesman agreed and Papa picked up several and handed them to us to hold on our laps while we returned home. 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。 As we arrived, Papa quickly unloaded the tree. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That evening all of the family gathered to decorate the tree. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As we arrived, Papa quickly unloaded the tree. He carefully set the lopsided, bare-branched trunk in the wooden stand he had kept in the basement for years, then pulled out the extra branches we had carried home. With a roll of thin wire he had saved from work, he gently fastened the full, fragrant branches to the sparse spots on the tree, filling in the gaps until the once-ugly tree began to look full and lush. We children stood around him, passing him branches, our earlier disappointment melting away as we watched the shabby tree transform little by little. That evening all of the family gathered to decorate the tree. We pulled out our old homemade ornaments — paper chains we had cut in art class, tiny wooden stars Papa had carved for us, and a few faded glass baubles that had been Mama’s when she was a girl. Mama lit the few candles we had saved, turning the patched tree into the most beautiful one we had ever seen. As we sang Christmas carols around it, huddling close to stay warm, I realized the tree wasn’t ugly at all — it was full of Papa’s love, and that was the best Christmas gift we could ever have. 【解析】 【导语】本文以家庭为线索，讲述物资匮乏、家境拮据的一家人临近圣诞没有圣诞树，父亲倾尽仅剩的积蓄买下一棵残缺难看的圣诞树，还带回多余树枝。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可以写爸爸回到家后，如何利用带回来的废弃树枝修补那棵残缺丑陋的圣诞树，以及孩子们在这一过程中的态度转变。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可以写全家人一起用旧物装饰圣诞树的过程，同时写出作者的最终感悟：虽然物质匮乏，但家人的爱让这棵树变得完美，这是最好的圣诞礼物。 2. 续写线索： 卸下圣诞树→修补树枝→孩子们的转变→全家装饰树木→点亮蜡烛/唱歌→感悟/升华主题 3. 词类激活： 行为类： ①消散：melt away/fade away/gradually vanish ②挤在一起：huddle together/ bunch up/ ‌crowd together 情绪类： ①失望：disappointment/frustration ②充满着爸爸的爱：full of Papa’s love/ brimming with Papa’s care 【点睛】【高分句型1】With a roll of thin wire he had saved from work, he gently fastened the full, fragrant branches to the sparse spots on the tree, filling in the gaps until the once-ugly tree began to look full and lush.（运用现了省略关系代词which/that的定语从句，和现在分词filling作伴随/结果状语） 【高分句型2】As we sang Christmas carols around it, huddling close to stay warm, I realized the tree wasn’t ugly at all — it was full of Papa’s love, and that was the best Christmas gift we could ever have.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句，以及现在分词短语huddling close to stay warm作伴随状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $2025至2026学年高二年级第二学期期末学情分析检测英语听力。第一节听下面五段录音，每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。We are planning to visit some museums in london.
