高二英语参考答案、提示及评分细则 听力部分录音稿 (Text 1) M: I’m ready to call it a day. Are you with me? W: Sounds like a good idea. I’ve stayed late every night this week. I’ll wrap up the report in the morning. (Text 2) W: I just finished Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn! It was a real page-turner. M: I’ve heard great things. What’s it about? W: It’s a mystery. The plot is amazing! (Text 3) M: Sally, I was surprised to see you at the concert with Michael last night. Doesn’t he hate classical music? W: No, he doesn’t. Are you confusing him with Pete, perhaps? (Text 4) W: I don’t like this paint. It’s far too dark. M: I know. It’s my fault. I should have bought a small amount to test it. Now I have several containers of the stuff and no other place to use it. (Text 5) M: We’re almost on empty. Where do you think we should stop? W: The sign back there said there’s a service station just beyond Exit 12, a few miles down the road. M: I hope we can make it. (Text 6) W: I honestly don’t understand why “likes” are so important to some people. It’s like their whole self-worth is dependent upon social media. M: I agree. It’s stupid, but I can’t help it. I want people to like what I post. W: So, what do you do if nobody likes your photo? M: I get upset, wouldn’t you? W: I never post anything, so I wouldn’t know. (Text 7) W: Right, I think I’ve got everything. M: OK. Let me see. Mm, it’s a long list, isn’t it? W: Yes. And we need to remember, we’re going by train. And we’ve only got our backpacks. So we can’t carry that much. M: You’re right. We need to decide what’s really necessary and what we don’t really need. W: Let’s go through the list again and cross out the things that aren’t as important. M: Mm, do we really need to take a cooking pot? It’ll be quite heavy to carry. Maybe we’ll have to buy food there. We can keep going on energy bars during the day to save money. (Text 8) W: So, James. I’ve shown you where all the main book sections are: fiction, nonfiction, children’s. Any questions so far? M: Yes, I was wondering when the busiest times are here. W: Well, a lot of children come on Monday mornings because we have children’s story time. We’re usually busiest from ten to twelve. And our delivery for new books usually arrives on Wednesdays around three. Also, we have cleaning staff here every day from one to two. M: OK. A customer was looking for the book Wonders of the West, but I couldn’t help her find it in the nature section. W: I can help you with that. Let me take this opportunity to show you how to check whether books are available. (Text 9) M: Hello, I’m interested in the courses offered there. As a working professional, I’d like to use my time after work productively. W: We provide diverse courses that fit different interests. From language lessons to cooking classes and fitness sessions, there’s something for everyone. Any specific course you’re interested in? M: I’m considering language and fitness classes. Could you tell me more? W: Certainly. We offer language courses for all levels, including French, Spanish, and German. As for fitness, we cover routines from yoga to high-intensity workouts. Both are available in group or one-on-one tutoring sessions. For more details, you can consult our brochure or our website. M: Perfect. I often have unpredictable work hours, though. W: Don’t worry. Our courses run throughout the day, and we also have weekend options, ensuring you’ll find something that matches your routine. M: How long does each course typically last? And what’s the duration for individual sessions? W: Typically, a course lasts eight weeks with two sessions per week. Each session lasts around 60 to 90 minutes. (Text 10) W: Well, thank you everyone for your interest in our Pyrenean Charity Challenge. So, what are you signing up for? We’ll walk from Wednesday to Friday through the beautiful scenery of the Spanish Pyrenees. The route will take us through a variety of landscapes: First, we’ll follow an amazing path along the coast. Then we’ll head away from the coast and walk through hills and forest. We will walk about 15 kilometers per day. It should take us about six to seven hours. Each day’s walking will start from one hotel and finish at the next hotel on the route. We’ll walk at a leisurely speed, so this challenge is no problem if you’re a fit and active person. Previous experience is useful, but it’s not absolutely necessary. We will have an experienced leader who’s fully trained and knows the route. What will you need to take? The most important item you’ll need is good walking boots. You should buy them well in advance to make sure they fit well. You’ll need a waterproof jacket to keep you dry and warm and walking shorts are a good idea. You will also need a small backpack to carry your lunch and a water bottle. 参考答案 1 ~ 5 BACBC 6 ~ 10 CAACA 11 ~ 15 BACBB 16 ~ 20 ABCBC 21. A 22. D 23. B 24. A 25. C 26. C 27. B 28. B 29. A 30. C 31.

Watching him work, I was impressed by his skilled hands, which moved smoothly as if dancing with the clay. However, when trying it myself, I found it harder than expected. The clay kept losing shape, and I felt frustrated. The craftsman encouraged me to be patient, saying that only with heart and devotion could one create a good piece. Following his guidance, I finally managed to finish a small bowl. Only through this hands-on experience did I truly understand craftsmanship — it requires not just skills but also patience and love for the work. I also gained new respect for labor, realizing that every job becomes valuable when done with heart. Yours, Li Hua 第二节 One possible version: During their practice, the group was amazed by Li Ming’s Chinese kung fu. His every move was so powerful and graceful that it seemed as if he was dancing with the wind. They watched in awe and couldn’t help asking Li Ming all kinds of questions about kung fu. Li Ming patiently explained the origins and techniques of kung fu, and even taught them some simple moves. Gradually, the communication during practice broke the ice between Li Ming and his British classmates. They shared their love for different cultures, and Li Ming felt more and more at ease with them. After the show, Li Ming noticed some changes happening. His classmates started to greet him warmly and actively invited him to join their conversations. In group work, they listened to his ideas with more attention and respect. Li Ming also found that he was no longer afraid to express himself. He even began to introduce more aspects of Chinese culture to his classmates, like traditional Chinese festivals and calligraphy. The talent show not only made Li Ming a shining star in school but also became a bridge for him to integrate into the new environment and build deeper friendships with his British classmates. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $高二英语参考答案、提示及评分细则 听力部分录音稿 (Text 1) M:I'm ready to call it a day.Are you with me?

to..”表示“与…相似”，为固定搭配。 59.significant考查词形转换。根据空前the most及空后中心词findings可知，此处填所给名词的形容词形 式，修饰其后的名词。 60.the考查冠词。此处表示“在20世纪”，且位于序数词之前，前面要加定冠词the。 61.and考查连词。分析该空前后两个动词之间的关系可知，此处填连词and来连接两个并列的谓语动词 lived和used. 62.their考查代词。该空位于名词understanding(在此表示“理解、领悟”)之前，充当限定成分；且用以指称前 文的the Shu and Maya。故将they变为属格形式，即形容词性物主代词their。 63.employed考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知，此处填非谓语动词；employ与the cross-subject work and technology之间为动宾关系，故此处填过去分词employed作后置定语。 64.to unearth考查非谓语动词。根据“make it-十形容词十todo”结构可知，此处填动词不定式作真正的宾语。 65.wich考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，该空引导一个非限制性定语从句，且从句中缺少主语；先行词 为delicate items like silk remains,指物，故此处填关系代词which。 第一节 One possible version: Dear David, I'm writing to share my experience in a pottery activity,where an old craftsman taught us to make bowls by hand.

Here are four great picks tailored for beginners — easy to follow, budget-friendly, and focused on building basic skills. Evolve Artist Academy Evolve Artist Academy stands out for its structured 8-block lessons, free art supplies, and one-on-one advice from instructors. Its biggest advantages are a clear learning path and expert guidance, which help beginners stay on track. The only catch? It needs regular practice about 2 — 3 hours per week — to see progress. Mark Carder’s Draw Mix Paint For students on a budget, Mark Carder’s Draw Mix Paint is a winner. It offers free online courses that cover simple color mixing and classical realism basics, making it perfect for self-driven learners. The main limitation is its narrow focus: It mostly teaches realism, so there’s not much variety in painting styles. Michael James Smith’s Tutorials (教程) Michael James Smith’s online tutorials are great if you want to try different painting subjects. His step-by-step lessons include landscapes and portraits, with high-definition (HD) videos that work for all skill levels. New content is added monthly, keeping learning fresh, but there’s no personalized feedback to help fix specific mistakes. New Masters Academy New Masters Academy uses an affordable subscription model, with HD videos that teach both painting fundamentals and anatomy (解剖学) — both helpful for drawing figures.

This changed because of Louis Braille, who created a groundbreaking tactile (触觉) writing system of raised dots called braille. Despite significant opposition, his invention eventually opened a new world of learning for the blind globally. Born in 1809 in the French village of Coupvray, Braille was blinded at age three in a terrible workshop accident. His parents, determined to support him despite widespread discrimination against the blind at the time, ensured he received an education. A local priest (牧师) taught him, and his intelligence earned him a scholarship to the Royal Institute for Blind Youth in Paris. At the institute, Braille excelled in his studies and music. The catalyst for his invention came in 1821 with the introduction of “night writing”, a dot-based military communication code created by Charles Barbier. Recognizing its potential, Braille dedicated himself to improving this idea. By age 15, he had successfully developed his own streamlined system based on cells of six raised dots corresponding to letters of the alphabet. The students at his institute quickly adopted it for its simplicity and efficiency. However, the system faced strong resistance from the sighted establishment. After the supportive director was replaced, the new director, Pierre-Armand Dufau, banned braille, burning books and punishing students who used it. Unshaken, Braille, who became a teacher at the institute, constantly advocated for his method. A key moment came in 1844 when the school’s new director, persuaded of braille’s value, publicly demonstrated the system, finally giving Braille the recognition he deserved. Braille died in 1852, before his system gained worldwide adoption. It was universally accepted decades later, fundamentally changing blind education. Today, braille remains crucial, though its literacy rates face challenges from modern audio (音频) technology. Scientists emphasize that tactile reading is vital for cognitive (认知的) development, stimulating the brain’s visual processing centers. The story of Louis Braille is thus not just one of historical innovation but an ongoing fight to preserve a vital tool for independence and intelligence. 24. What do we know about Braille’s early life? A. His parents helped him get educated. B. He was born in a British village. C. He invented braille at age thirteen. D. A workshop accident made him deaf. 25. What does the underlined word “catalyst” in paragraph 3 probably refer to? A. A sudden accident. B. A final result. C. A key inspiration. D. A strong opposition. 26. What is Pierre-Armand Dufau’s attitude towards the braille writing system? A. Approving. B. Cautious. C. Opposed. D. Neutral. 27. What does the text tell us about tactile reading? A. It is replaced by audio technology. B. It benefits blind people’s brains. C. It was for military communication. D. It was banned worldwide before 1852. C Facing frozen salaries, ongoing inflation (通货膨胀), and widespread fears of layoffs, a growing number of workers are embracing “polyworking” — taking on multiple jobs to create additional income streams and build a financial safety net. This trend moves away from the traditional model of a single, lifelong career. Katelyn Cusick, 29, exemplifies this shift. Her primary role is as a visual merchandiser (营销) for Patagonia. Beyond this, she manages social media influencers for a shoe brand for several hours weekly, sells her paintings on Etsy, and helps out at local concerts. While the extra income helps her manage student loans and a high cost of living, she also values the variety, stating that doing different things every day keeps her engaged. Economic pressures are a primary driver. As sociologist Alexandrea Ravenelle explains, flat salaries and rising living costs are forcing people to seek supplementary income. Furthermore, workplace instability and a declining trust in a single employer to provide lasting job security push others towards side job apps like Uber or Grubhub. This approach can lead to a “portfolio career”, where individuals put together a mix of jobs that build diverse skills. For instance, Cusick’s side job helps keep her social media marketing skills current. Elaine Chen from Tufts University notes that instead of a linear career path, people are now combining side jobs based on their skills and interests to create multiple income sources. For those considering this path, experts offer several tips. First, follow a passion, as a side project will consume significant free time. Josie White, who works full-time at a nonprofit, began unpaid public speaking about mental health, a subject she is deeply passionate about, which is now starting to lead to paid engagements. Second, be realistic about money: many part-time businesses require an initial investment and time before generating profit. White reinvested her early earnings back into skill development. Finally, understand the risks. While part-time work can provide immediate cash, Ravenelle cautions against over-reliance. The pay can be unstable, and some employers view part-time work negatively. Additionally, one must be careful of online opportunities that seem too good to be true, as many promoted “easy” business ideas are often scams (骗局). 28. What is “polyworking” according to the text? A. Having a single lifelong career. B. Taking multiple jobs for extra income. C. Selling paintings on Etsy platforms. D. Working full-time at Patagonia. 29. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2? A. Provide a polyworking example. B. Define the concept of polyworking. C. Explain Etsy’s painting sales rules. D. Analyze Patagonia’s marketing role. 30. What can we infer about Josie White? A. She works part-time at a nonprofit. B. Her public speaking is always paid. C. Passion helps her side job succeed. D. She avoids initial investment in careers. 31. Which is the best title for the text? A. Risks of Flexible Economy Apps B. Full-Time Pursuits: More Than Earnings C. Portfolio Careers and Skill Building D. Polyworking: A New Career Trend D With the continuous growth in the world’s energy needs, integrating energy collection into building design has become a key research area. Although the price of solar power systems has dropped significantly, leading to their widespread adoption, experts are now looking for methods to enhance the use of solar energy by turning everyday building parts, such as windows, into energy-generating units. A group from Nanjing University in China has made encouraging progress in this area. The team developed a new method that employs a special layer applied to windows to collect solar power. Unlike current solar windows, which frequently use colored materials that can darken the glass, this new approach uses a clear material known as cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC). CLCs, commonly used in items like screens, have a spiral (螺旋) shape that enables them to reflect light. By putting several thin films of CLCs onto glass, the researchers created a “colorless and unidirectional solar concentrator” (CUSC). This CUSC coating guides incident sunlight to the edges of the window, where small, integrated solar cells turn it into electricity. In a real-world trial, a small model window with five CLC layers was able to power a small 10mW fan located outdoors. The potential for this technology is considerable: calculations indicate that a standard window fitted with CUSC could collect fifty times more solar energy. This makes it particularly suitable for tall buildings in sunny regions close to the equator. The production method requires that the glass be thoroughly cleaned with high-frequency sound waves to remove dirt before the coating is applied. Nevertheless, several challenges remain to be addressed before it can be widely used. The research does not cover how well the coating resists bad weather conditions such as rain, ice, snow, or bird droppings. Furthermore, it is not yet known how routine window cleaning might affect the CUSC’s performance. Any additional layer could possibly reduce energy collection efficiency. Another point is the current policy in China, which now limits the building of extremely high structures — exactly the kind of buildings that could gain the most from this technology. 32. What is the core function of CUSC? A. To darken glass with colored materials. B. To capture light through window coating. C. To clean glass via high-frequency waves. D. To adjust glass temperature automatically. 33. What does the author want to show by mentioning the 10mW fan? A. Fans need little solar power. B. Strong light reflection works. C. The application of CLC layers. D. CUSC’s practical energy output. 34. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. CUSC’s full adoption in urban buildings. B. China’s new policy on high-rise buildings. C. Ways to protect CUSC from bad weather. D. Issues affecting CUSC’s popularity. 35. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce a new solar energy technology. B. To explain CLCs’ role in screen production. C. To analyze advantages of tall building design. D. To compare CUSC with current solar windows. 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。 Illeism: The Ancient Trick to Help You Think More Wisely As a writer specialising in psychology, I’ve come across hundreds of evidence-based tips for better thinking. Few have proven as useful to me as the ancient strategy of illeism. Put simply, illeism is the practice of talking about oneself in the third person rather than the first person. 36 In the emperor Julius Caesar’s account of the Gallic War, for example, he wrote “Caesar avenged the public” rather than “I avenged the public”. To the modern ear, illeism can sound a little silly or self-important. 37 If we are trying to make a difficult decision, speaking about ourselves in the third person can help to reduce the emotions that could lead our thinking off track, allowing us to find a wiser solution to our problem. 38 This is because when making personal choices, we become too caught up in our emotions, which cloud our thinking and prevent us from putting our issues in perspective. If we have received negative feedback from a colleague, for example, our feeling of embarrassment might lead us to become overly self-defensive. By switching to the third person, our descriptions of the situation will start to sound as if we are talking about someone else rather than ourselves. 39 By encouraging us to put our problems in perspective, the use of illeism may also help us to have a more balanced response to daily stresses. Next time you face a challenging situation, try referring to yourself as “he” or “she” instead of “I” 40 A. Try this technique. B. Politicians often use this method. C. This creates helpful distance from emotions. D. So why do emotions affect our decisions so much? E. Yet research shows illeism brings real thinking benefits. F. However, lack of objectivity can be problematic when choosing. G. You might be surprised at how much clearer your thinking becomes. 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。 The joy of the night ride was the joy of feeling truly alive. 41 brought me back to my body, 42 me of the energy, blood, and bone that made me whole.

With a heart full of dreams and a little bit of nervousness, he flew to the United Kingdom to start a new adventure. He had always imagined what it would be like to walk through the historic streets of England and meet people from different parts of the world. But as soon as he arrived at his new school, he felt a little unsure. In his new class, Li Ming struggled to start conversations with his British classmates. They spoke so quickly and used words and phrases he didn’t understand. When he tried to join their conversations, he felt shy about his accent and worried that he might say something wrong. He also noticed that British students seemed to value their personal space more than he was used to, which made it even harder for him to find the right moment to start a meaningful talk. Group work was even harder. During a group project in the literature class, Li Ming had trouble explaining his ideas clearly, feeling like his ideas were getting lost in translation. And he started to doubt himself. Social events outside of class were just as difficult. At a school party, Li Ming watched his classmates laugh, dance, and sing along to the latest pop songs. He felt left out, not knowing the songs or the dance moves. He wanted to join the fun! but the fear of looking silly kept him on the sidelines. One day, the school announced a talent show. Li Ming, who practiced traditional Chinese kung fu, really wanted to try. While he was hesitating, a group of British students interested in cultural performances invited him to join them. Li Ming agreed. 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。 During their practice, the group was amazed by Li Ming’s Chinese kung fu. After the show, Li Ming noticed some changes happening. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
