B Jules Verne is widely regarded as one of the fathers of science fiction. His “Extraordinary Voyages (航海)” series transport readers on grand adventures to the far reaches of Earth and beyond. But Verne did more than just tell entertaining stories — he also predicted over 100 modern-day inventions and technologies in his writings. For example, in the 1889 short story In the Year 2889, Verne painted a picture of a highly networked world with global multimedia communications. He described the “phonotelephone” which sent sound and images over great distances. The main character, Fritz Napoleon Smith, is able to easily communicate by his technology with his wife on another continent. “Mr Smith was able to see his wife distinctly despite the distance that separated him from her… Mrs Smith immediately appeared on the telephonic screen, with her features smiling and her eyes moist (潮湿的) with tears.” Verne’s technically-grounded adventure tales represented a new approach to imagining the future through fiction. Unlike other writers of his day who penned more fanciful or supernatural stories, Verne aimed for realism in his futuristic visions, always basing them on cutting-edge science and his own extensive research. This laid the foundation for the “hard science fiction” of the 20th century and beyond. Verne is often thought of as a technological optimist, a champion of scientific progress and innovation. But his writings also reveal another viewpoint. Many of his stories feature a brilliant but mad scientist whose inventions ultimately bring more harm than good. Captain Nemo in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea uses his submarine (潜艇) to violently attack ships. For Verne, human nature determined whether technology would be a force for good or a source of destruction. The spirit of adventure in Verne’s timeless stories will live on, continuing to inspire generations to push the boundaries of the possible and create the world of tomorrow. That is perhaps the greatest achievement of the extraordinary voyages of Jules Verne. 24. How does Mr Smith contact his wife in In the Year 2889? A. By holding an in-person talk. B. By making a long-distance call. C. By sending a letter back home. D. By having an instant video chat. 25. What is the “hard science fiction” based on? A. The unrealistic fantasies. B. The fictional technologies. C. The latest research findings. D. The imagined future worlds. 26. What can we infer about Verne from Captain Nemo’s story? A. He is disappointed with human nature. B. He is aware of the danger of technology. C. He is in favour of scientific development. D. He is different from the writers of his time. 27. Which of the following best describes Jules Verne according to the text? A. Forward-thinking. B. Strong-willed. C. Opportunity-seeking. D. Positive-minded. C A wave of startups say seaweed is a solution to climate change — able to absorb atmospheric carbon, provide raw materials for biofuels, and feed the world — no fertilizers (化肥), fresh water, or even land required. Running Tide, a Maine-based company, is working on a system that will eventually sink the buoys (浮标), attached with long locks of seaweed, to the deep ocean floor, where the carbon they contain will remain stored for 800 years or more. Running Tide was founded by Marty Odlin, an engineer and fourth-generation commercial fisherman. The Gulf of Maine is warming faster than nearly every other oceanic region, and Odlin has seen the changes firsthand. About 15 years ago, Odlin heard a talk from Klaus Lackner — the physicist who popularised the idea of removing carbon from the atmosphere. It clicked. “It was like, oh, this is right because there’s no way we’re going to get off fossil (化石的) fuels in the next 50 years,” he recalls. “We’ve got to pull it down.” Using seaweed to draw down carbon would be an elegant solution — if it works. Seaweed forests collectively cover an estimated two million square kilometers and absorb as much carbon as the Amazon rainforest. But much of that storage is short-lived. When the seaweed is harvested, eaten by animals, or washed ashore, its stored carbon is released back into the atmosphere. Running Tide’s model, in theory at least, would take that stored carbon and sink it to the ocean floor where it would remain for centuries, breaking down slowly. Some scientists are careful about rushing ahead before fundamental scientific, environmental, and regulatory questions are answered. “Climate change is intensifying, and people are panicking,” says Kristen Davis, a professor of University of California Irvine, “yet the science is not there to actually confirm that it’s a good idea.” 28. What can we learn about Running Tide’s system? A. It removes carbon from seaweed. B. It turns seaweed into fertilizers. C. It sinks seaweed into the ocean floor. D. It stores seaweed as food sources. 29. What did Lackner’s speech lead Odlin to do? A. Monitor changes in oceanic regions. B. Reduce commercial fishing industry. C. Set restrictions on the use of fossil fuels. D. Remove carbon from the atmosphere. 30. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Steps of a carbon replacement method. B. The underlying logic of sinking seaweeds. C. Examples of massive seaweed forests. D. The carbon absorbing ability of seaweeds. 31. Why does the author quote Kristen Davis? A. To present the issue objectively. B. To prove Odlin’s opinion. C. To advocate scientists’ cooperation. D. To emphasise the climate crisis. D New era requires a new vocabulary. Will we still talk about the “mobile” phone when all phones are mobile, or when they are implanted within us? Technology is everywhere nowadays, especially at work. Some people are really good at using all the cool new tools that keep popping up. They have something called a TQ, or technology quotient. Think of it like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really impossible. Having a high TQ means you’re awesome at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet. The examples are common and becoming more and more frequent. For the parent it might be a home-school video class. For the brand manager it might be search engine boosting. And for the clinician, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan. TQ attempts to quantify our ability to make sensible use of current technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and capitalize on future creations. This adoption is critical from a variety of perspectives, from social to business. One trip into the world of ChatGPT and we can see how the dynamics of AI and search are changing for just about everyone. Any Mom or Dad can understand the value of IQ and EQ in projecting the potential for a child’s success. But what about technology? The ability for the child and the teacher to understand, embrace and assimilate technology will be a defining aspect of their lives as we speed into the future. We are increasingly defined by technology and our active participation in everything from smart phones to Facebook. It might just be time for the basic human needs of food, water and shelter to incorporate technology too. And when that happens, it just might be a good idea to measure it. While this shift brings challenges, it’s unstoppable. As TQ rises, it will combine with IQ and EQ, reshaping how we live, work, and learn — turning adaptability with tech into a measurable edge. 32. What is TQ according to the text? A. Speed of learning new languages. B. Skill of fixing high-tech products. C. Talent to follow modern changes. D. Ability to apply new technologies. 33. What do the examples in paragraph 3 serve to show? A. TQ is applicable in diverse situations. B. Dynamics of AI will be beneficial for everyone. C. AI is likely to bridge the generational gap. D. Older people tend to struggle with technology. 34. What does the underlined word “assimilate” in the fourth paragraph mean? A. Rely on. B. Take in. C. Benefit from. D. Learn about. 35. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Why Are IQ and EQ Important for TQ? B. How Has TQ Changed in the Modern Era? C. What Makes TQ the New Intelligence? D. Where to Start Adapting to TQ Changes? 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。 Career coaches provide a series of services, from helping you figure out what you want to do to exploring chances for career growth. 36 To make it all worthwhile, some helpful tips are offered here to help you choose a right coach.

Outside, snow fell heavily, covering the ground in white. Inside, 12 passengers sat in panic — city people, unprepared for mountain weather. I was seventeen, traveling alone to visit my grandmother in the hospital, carrying her old locket (盒式项链坠) that she’d asked me to bring — her most treasured possession, containing photos of her and my late grandfather. My phone showed no signal. The driver tried the engine. Nothing. He checked the fuel, the battery. “It’s dead,” he announced. “We wait for rescue.” Ten minutes passed. The wind grew stronger. People wrapped themselves in coats. An elderly woman shivered violently. A mother tried to keep her crying baby warm. Obviously, we needed shelter. Then the man in the back row stood up. “I’m Tom,” he said. “I live three kilometers up the road. Follow me.” He was about fifty, rough hands, work clothes, a weathered face. Some refused, afraid of a stranger. But the elderly woman stood. “I’d rather choose to trust than freeze here,” she said. “I’ll go.” We walked in a line, holding hands, Tom leading with a flashlight. The snow reached our knees. He stopped to help those who’d fallen, carrying the elderly woman on his back. His house was small — a single room with a wood stove, but warm. The driver immediately spotted a phone on the wall and called the rescue station. Then Tom made tea and shared his bread and dried meat. “Why help us?” someone asked. He pointed to a photo — a young woman, smiling. “My daughter. She was helped once by strangers in a storm. She said the world runs on kindness.” Hours later, the rescue team arrived with a bus, its lights flashing. As we prepared to board, I reached into my pocket — the locket was gone. I panicked. I couldn’t face my grandmother’s disappointed eyes. “I have to go back. It must be in Tom’s house.” 注意： （1）续写词数应为 150 个左右； （2）请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 I ran through the snow toward his door, the locket heavy on my mind. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ The rescue bus waited, headlights cutting through the darkness. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年度下学期期末考试 高二英语答案及评分标准 听力： 1-5 BCCAA 6-10 BAACB 11-15 CACBB 16-20 ABBBC 阅读： 21-23 CAD 24-27 DCBA 28-31 CDBA 32-35 DABC 36-40 EGFDB 完形： 41-45 CABDA 46-50 CBDBA 51-55 BCACD 语法填空： 56.

I’m honored to deliver a speech on this topic. For decades, China has reached out to nations trapped in poverty and crises. Aside from delivering medical supplies and professional teams to fight epidemics, China has also helped build local infrastructure, steadily promoting the economic and social development of needy countries. What lies behind these persistent efforts is China’s sincere wish for global common prosperity. As contemporary teenagers, we are supposed to deeply understand the value of global solidarity. On one hand, we should broaden our international vision and embrace diverse cultures. On the other hand, we need to equip ourselves with solid knowledge. Only by shouldering youthful responsibilities can we pass on kindness and contribute more to a harmonious global community in the future. Thank you for listening! Sharing Warmth Across the Globe Good morning, respected teachers and dear classmates, my name is Li Hua. Greatly privileged to deliver my speech here. For years, China offers unconditional aid worldwide: we send medical teams amid crises and build infrastructure to support local growth, which highlights our pursuit of shared global development. In my eyes, this selfless help conveys genuine friendship rather than self-interest. As young Chinese, we ought to appreciate such noble values. We can read more international stories to understand global needs, communicate friendly ideas with overseas friends, and commit ourselves to learning well so we can contribute to world solidarity in the future. Small efforts from teenagers will jointly create a warmer global community. Thank you for listening! 第二节（满分25分） Possible version: I ran through the snow toward his door, the locket heavy on my mind. The door opened before I could knock. Tom stood there, holding the gold chain in his rough palm. “Looking for this?” My heart leaped. I grabbed it, the metal warm from his hand. Relief flooded through me, sharp and sweet. The rescue bus horn sounded in the distance. I pressed my grandmother’s dried fruit into his hands-all I had to give-and spoke softly thanks. He smiled, weathered face softening. “Tell her to get well,” he said. I nodded, turned, and ran through the snow, holding the locket tight. The rescue bus waited, headlights cutting through the darkness. I climbed on, breathless, the locket safe in my pocket. Through the window, I watched Tom stand in his doorway, growing smaller, then disappearing into the night. I never saw him again. But years later, as a doctor, I kept that memory. Every winter, when patients arrived scared, I offered them tea and listened to their stories. “The world runs on kindness,” I’d say, remembering Tom’s rough hands holding my treasure. It didn’t matter whose words they were. The kindness was real. I passed it on, just as he had, just as his daughter taught. That’s how we survive. 听力录音稿 Text 1 W: John, at last! The film started five minutes ago! M: The bus broke down, so I had to run back home to ask my dad to bring me in his car. W: So why have you got your bike with you? M: My dad had left for work. Text 2 M: Hey, Lily! Have you got messages about Jim’s birthday party next Saturday? W: Oh, yeah. I’d love to go to the party, but my grandparents will come to my house then, so I will have to keep them company. Text 3 W: How much is the parking fee? M: Two dollars per hour. Parking time less than one hour will be counted as one hour. You have parked here for an hour and 30 minutes, so it means two hours. Text 4 M: I’d like to send this to Singapore. What do I need to do? W: You should put it on the scale so that I can weigh it. M: Is there a difference between airmail and surface mail? W: Airmail is more expensive, but your package will reach its destination much faster. Text 5 W: I don’t think we get enough homework. Do you, Max? M: I’m not sure about that, Lina. I spend about two hours doing homework every day. I think that’s enough. W: I suppose so. But what about at weekends? We often don’t get any. Text 6 M: Did you get your history report done last weekend? W: Are you kidding? This math homework ate up all my time. How about you? M: I’d planned to do both those assignments over the weekend, but I was too exhausted after all our tests last week. I ended up just taking it easy. W: Lucky you. M: Yeah, well, now I have to make up for the lost time. Text 7 M: Aren’t you the young woman who gave the computer lecture at the city hall last winter? W: Yes, it’s me. You look familiar. M: I’m so glad I took your lecture. I thought that it would be impossible for me to learn how to use a computer at my age, but now I’m exchanging emails with my grandchildren. It’s the happiest thing after my retirement. W: That’s great. It’s rewarding to do something meaningful in my spare time. That was a good experience for me, too, because that was just a change of pace from my daytime job as a sales representative. Text 8 W: I’m thinking of buying a car. I wouldn’t need to use it every day, but I think it would be very convenient to have one for the weekends. M: That’s exciting. Would this be your first car? W: Nope. I actually owned a car for a little while when I lived in Miami. M: What type of car do you prefer? W: I’ve heard that German cars are very reliable, but I haven’t decided on a specific model yet. I’d also like it to be small so that it’s easy to drive in the city. M: I have a friend who sells second-hand cars. In fact, I think his family owns the business. He’s a really nice guy and he knows a lot about cars. I could give you his phone number if you want, and you could call him and ask him questions. W: That’s nice of you. Text 9 M: We’re talking to businesswoman Carla Smith, who’s made some changes to the way she lives her life. Carla, the first thing you did was to change the way you worked. Why? W: My job was interesting, so I never got stressed or needed time off like some of my colleagues, who became ill. I travelled all over the world. Then, suddenly I realized I was living in hotels and I thought “You know what? I’d like to spend more time in my own house!” M: Do you do more exercise now? W: I spend about the same amount of time exercising as I did before. However, instead of doing it between work and dinner, I get up at 5 a.m. and exercise then. M: Do you spend more time with family now? W: Yes, particularly my sisters. We used to go to the cinema every week. That isn’t always possible now, so we have film nights at my house instead. There’s an outdoor pool in town and you can swim and watch films there. We’re going to try that soon. M: Do you have any time-saving advice? W: There are things people do, like checking emails or messages on the bus to work or school and making a list of things to do the next day. But the thing that works well for me is having lots of clothes which are the same, so you don’t have to think about what to put on in the morning! Text 10 Good evening, everyone. I’m Jennifer Green. Thanks for joining us. In today’s edition, Our Perfect Life, our guest is Brock Bastian, a social psychologist from the University of Melbourne. Professor Bastian’s research focuses on pain, happiness and morality. Recently, he published a book on the role of pain in promoting pleasure. The title of the book is The Other Side of Happiness. In this book, he argues that as we seek to escape pain or sorrow, we’re weakening ourselves and may lose our adaptability to deal with pain in the future. Painful experiences are in fact vital for our development and how we face the unavoidable challenges ahead and they play a key role in helping us to develop our ability to feel truly happy. Now, let’s welcome Professor Bastian to talk about his ideas in the book. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $普通高等学校招生全国统一考试英语听力模拟试题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A、B、C三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。John, at last, the film started five minutes ago.
