My son Nick had been eager to try rock climbing and he needed a partner. As a 45-year-old mother, I am not a physical person at all. But I still decided to join him in a training class. The first time I reached the top and returned safely to the ground, I was flooded with a mix of emotions. My body trembled, as I had pushed myself harder than I ever thought possible, but I had accomplished it. Four months into my climbing journey, I had an accident while doing rock climbing. I am not sure what exactly happened, but I believe, my foot missed a hold on the way down. I didn’t land properly and injured my lower back. I was taken to hospital by ambulance. I feared that I would never return to rock climbing and I said to Nick sadly, “A piece of me would slip away. It would be forgotten and lie passive forever. I couldn’t let that happen.” It took nearly three months before I felt strong to give it another try. Nick was supportive throughout the process. I made it halfway up, but then panic set in. I felt like I had let myself and Nick down. He reassured me, telling me not to worry, to take my time, and to try a different route when I was ready. Fifteen minutes later, I chose a different path. I kept reminding myself that I could change my mind at any time. Along the way Nick guided me and encouraged me. To my surprise, I made it to the top and back to the ground safely. Rock climbing was doing wonders for me. It has not only enhanced my physical and mental strength but also implanted in me a newfound sense of confidence. Moreover, it serves as an excellent opportunity for Nick and me to strengthen our bond, while encouraging me to explore more possibilities, embodying the spirit of pushing myself to the limits. 24. Why did the author join rock climbing at first? A. To keep her son company. B. To step out of comfort zone. C. To seek adventure and enjoyment. D. To improve her physical condition. 25. What can we infer from the author’s words to her son in paragraph 2? A. She was eager to show her physical capacities. B. She was concerned about disconnecting with Nick. C. She feared losing self-identity gained from climbing. D. She valued the new insight developed from climbing. 26. What was the key to the success of the author’s first try after recovery? A. Nick’s backing. B. Her passion. C. Her experience. D. Her doctor’s encouragement. 27. Which of the following is the best title of the text? A. Facing up to the Next Challenge B. Reaching for a Lifelong Ambition C. Pushing Boundaries with Rock Climbing D. Improving Competence Through Doing Sports C It was a cold May morning when I received an email from an old friend inviting me to join a 10-day all-girls surfing trip. I knew I had to say yes. The trip seemed simple enough. 10 women aged 30 to 45, all complete strangers, were to meet on the coast of Portugal to try something new: surfing in the Atlantic Ocean. I have always loved traveling, so I eagerly sent an email to my boss asking for time off to make the trip. If there’s one thing I’ve learned over my past 33 years, it’s that adults typically spend their days mastering the things they’ve done before. It seems like we pride ourselves on becoming experts in whatever field we’ve fallen into, knowing more about less. Now, in theory, this is a great strategy, as it allows you to become really good at one particular thing, but it also may end up leaving some skills lacking. I met my new surfing companions on the lawn of the hotel in a small surf town called Ericeira. Despite our different personalities and backgrounds, we were all united in a strong desire to challenge ourselves, learn, tackle issues and grow. The shores at Ericeira, where the beginners learn to surf, are shallow and covered with slippery rocks. They make for softer waves but are difficult to ride. Guided by our amazing coaches, together, we faced the waves. Sometimes, it poured with rain, and the waves crashed around us, but we were still out there. And with every slip and fall, words of encouragement filled the air. Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone, but that didn’t matter because a new level of genuine joy and personal achievement had been unlocked. Learning a new skill taught me the humility that can come from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops when you finally manage to grasp something you’ve been working on. While surfing might not be my lifelong passion, trying it out inspired me to take more risks in life. You never know what you’re capable of if you don’t go out there and try. 28. What inspired the author to join the surfing trip? A. Her love for seashore surfing. B. Her desire to make new friends. C. Her need to take a break from work. D. Her desire for exploring something new. 29. What does the author think of adults’ focusing on mastering one field? A. It narrows one’s potential. B. It hurts one’s pride. C. It broadens one’s view of the world. D. It promotes one’s career success. 30. Which adjectives can best describe the author’s surfing experience? A. Relaxing but dangerous. B. Challenging but rewarding. C. Tough and uninteresting. D. Surprising and unforgettable. 31. What can be inferred about the author? A. She used to lack confidence in herself. B. She was determined to become an expert surfer. C. She discovered her lifelong passion after the trip. D. She was more willing to try new experiences in life. D If you’re searching for scenic places, visiting wetlands probably won’t be high on your list. Although wetlands might not look very pretty, they serve important ecological functions such as water filtration, flood protection, carbon storage, and providing habitats for a diverse range of plant and animal species. With the exception of Antarctica, wetlands exist naturally on every continent. There are many different types of wetlands on Earth, including bogs, swamps, and marshes. Along with rain forests, they are among the most diverse places on Earth. In addition to naturally occurring wetlands, humans are creating artificial ones for a number of purposes related to water management. One of the main benefits of wetlands is that they can prevent floods. They do so by storing water and then slowly releasing it over time. Wetlands operate similarly to a sponge. When it rains heavily and water levels rise, they absorb the excess water. This prevents the excess water from entering streams and keeps the streams from overflowing. Then, when water levels become low, wetlands will release water. In many cases, wetlands offer a much more affordable solution than dams. However, it’s important to note that wetlands, like dams, can’t get away from all dangers from flooding. In cases of extremely heavy rainfall, wetlands can fill up and any additional water will flow into streams. Wetlands can also play a part in water purification. Agricultural wastewater, industrial wastewater, and urban sewage are the main causes of water pollution. Wetlands contain plants and organisms that can reduce this pollution by filtering out unwanted substances such as chemicals, decomposing matter and sediment. Wetlands play an important role in supporting local ecosystems by providing essential resources and habitats for various species, including fish, amphibians, and migratory birds. They can help to feed nearby fish by releasing vegetative matter into rivers. Also, many amphibians use wetlands as breeding grounds because wetlands provide them with places for food hunting and for reproduction. What’s more, some birds use wetlands for migration, as they can settle in trees and then hunt in the wetlands when they’re hungry. Wetlands may not look pretty, but they’re capable of doing the dirty work required to keep our planet clean and ensure that the cycle of life remains unbroken. 32. What major environmental functions do wetlands have? A. Producing fresh water and building dams. B. Limiting floods and cleaning polluted water. C. Beautifying landscapes and attracting tourists. D. Changing the climate and growing rare plants. 33. Why does the author compare wetlands to a sponge? A. To show its rich resources for wild animals. B. To describe its muddy and wet natural appearance. C. To stress its ability to clean polluted running water. D. To explain how it holds and gradually releases water. 34. What does the underlined phrase “filtering out” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Removing. B. Enriching. C. Ignoring. D. Using. 35. What is the main writing purpose of the passage? A. To classify different kinds of wetlands across the world. B. To appeal to people to protect wetlands from being destroyed. C. To explain why unattractive wetlands are ecologically essential. D. To argue that wetlands are a better choice than man-made dams. 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。 Do you ever feel a little more relaxed after walking around barefoot on the grass or sand? 36 It’s a practice that allows people to directly connect their bodies with the Earth and use its natural electrical charges to stabilize them. By practicing earthing, you can focus on reconnecting your energy with the earth through direct or indirect contact. 37 You can play in the dirt: dig into the earth and get the soil between your fingers. You can create a garden in your yard and directly link to the energy in the dirt. 38 That may replace the direct connection you’d get being barefoot outside. Grounding carpets, blankets, and socks bring Earth’s electrical currents into the home or office by copying the physical connectivity of a nature walk. Earthing can be a free and relatively easy way to positively impact your physical and mental well-being. 39 Research shows that people who used grounding carpets for four weeks decreased exhaustion, sleep disruptions, and improved length of sleep. They also reported an improvement in their depression, stress, and pain. If you want to give earthing a try, there are a few important things to remember. 40 . It requires patience and perseverance. If you’re new to the idea of earthing, you should find a professional to lead you. And once you’ve got the ball rolling, go full steam ahead. The more you work on grounding yourself, the faster you’ll begin seeing improvements. While it isn’t something that should be used alone to treat a condition, earthing can potentially be part of self-carer routine. A. You can take a walk on grass, across the sand or in the mud. B. Earthing, like other forms of treatment, isn’t a quick treatment. C. When going outside is not an option, just ground yourself indoors. D. That’s the idea behind earthing, which is also known as grounding. E. Be observant of yourself and your surroundings and stay in the moment. F. Experts suggest 30 minutes a day on earthing is enough to enjoy the benefits. G. Research shows little connection between earthing and health improvements. 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分55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。 Mary retired at the age of 60, but she never forgot her dream of going to university.

It 66 (address) to Tolkien’s children. Who could it be 67 ? The children must have been very excited as they opened it. Inside, they would find a 68 (handwrite) letter from Father Christmas. The letters were also 69 (beautiful) illustrated — each must have taken its true author, Tolkien, a long time 70 (complete). The letters told wonderful stories about Father Christmas’s life and 71 (adventure) at the North Pole. A regular character in the letters was Polar Bear, who once climbed the North Pole and fell through the roof 72 Father Christmas’s house. In another letter, Father Christmas complained about how he could not stop his helpers 73 (play) games with the toys instead of wrapping them up. 74 (interesting), the letters did not contain the usual warnings to children 75 they might not receive their presents if they were not good.

At first, I thought 80 I heard was a violin, but later I learnt that it was an instrument with two strings 81 (call) jinghu. Then, seeing the main characters come on stage, I was surprised! The costumes and masks were amazing. The performers of course sang in Chinese, 82 the music, exaggerated movements and mime helped get the meanings 83 to the audience. The voices themselves sounded really unique — some of the female voices were so high that I was sure they could break glass! And the stage was really simple: a 84 (decorate) whip represented a horse, and a screen with Chinese characters, a study. Using such 85 (technique), the opera had transformed a small stage into the whole universe. 第四部分 写作（满分15分） 假定你是李华，你校的留学生Lucas正在策划为期两天一晚的海南岛内研学之旅（a study tour），就研学的主题和活动安排来信征求你的建议。请你用英文给他回信，内容包括： 1．研学的主题； 2．主要的活动安排。 注意： 1．写作词数应为80左右； 2．开头和结尾已给出。 Dear Lucas, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 海口市2025—2026学年第二学期 高一年级期末考试（英语）答案 第一部分 听力（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分） 1-5 ABBAC 6-10 BACCA 11-15 BABBA 16-20 CCCBA 第二部分 阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2.5分，满分50分） 第一节：21-25 CBDAC 26-30 ACDAB 31-35 DBDAC 第二节：36-40 DACFB 第三部分 语言运用（共45题，满分55分） 第一节：完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 41-45 BCDAD 46-50 ABDAC 51-55 ACBDC 第二节：单句词汇题（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） 56. exploring; 57. deliver; 58. platforms; 59. limitless; 60. starving; 61. documentaries; 62. recommended; 63. strategies; 64. relief; 65. flexible. 第三节：语法填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分） A篇： 66. was addressed; 67. from; 68. handwritten; 69. beautifully; 70. to complete; 71. adventures; 72. of; 73. playing; 74.

When I was small, (17) I enjoyed spending my summers reading storybooks instead of playing baseball or taking dance lessons. After I went to school, I took reading time seriously. Once, I tied one end of a string around a book and the other end around my waist, climbed a tree and sat in the branches, reading until dinner time. In college, I thought I might major in journalism or history, but when I took my first literature class, I was deeply attracted to it. (18) The calling to be an English major was in my heart, and I couldn’t imagine spending my study hours without Shakespeare, Chaucer or Lewis by my side. I learned the art of making connections between literature and life, and developed a love for writing. (19) After graduation, I taught English in a primary school in Canada for five years. Then I went to Australia and worked as a book editor. (20) Three years ago, I came to China. I’ve been teaching English in middle schools. I love my job and I’m thankful for the gift of words, for the life, connection, beauty, and learning that come from language. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
