He picked up two golds and a bronze at the Rio 2016 Paralympics, and completed the set with a silver at the Tokyo Paralympics. Bate was diagnosed (诊断) with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) in 2011, a condition which could eventually cause him to go blind. But rather than holding back his thirst for adventure, his diagnosis inspired him to push on. He battled depression after receiving the news, but grew to accept it — and then quickly became determined to make the most of the vision he had, while he had it. That was what led Bate to tackle El Capitan, one of the most famous rock formations in the world, rising more than 3,000 feet straight up. “The scariest part of El Capitan was finding the way,” Steve says. “I took a route that’s usually pretty clear. If you have normal eyesight, you can’t really get lost. But for me, the scariest thing was worrying I’d get stuck somewhere I couldn’t find my way back from.” Finally, Bate made it through the hardest part of the climb and reached the top of El Capitan. “Pulling myself over the top felt amazing. It made me believe I could do anything,” Steve says. A month before climbing El Capitan, Bate had attended a Talent Identification day for British Cycling. And soon, he was admitted to a program which would lead him to the Rio 2016 Paralympics. “I was back learning,” Steve says. “For El Capitan, I had to research everything on my own. At British Cycling I could go to anyone and ask, and they would give me the best advice — whether it was on nutrition, training or strength. I loved it.” Although going blind still frightened him in many ways, Steve Bate said he had come to see it as a huge challenge — and as an opportunity to reach his full potential, which excited him most. 24. What did Bate decide to do after accepting his medical condition? A. Use his eyesight to the fullest. B. Give up his desire for adventures. C. Battle depression caused by his diagnosis. D. Wait for treatment to improve his eyesight. 25. How did topping El Capitan affect Bate? A. It enhanced his confidence. B. It built up his sense of direction. C. It removed his fear of climbing. D. It helped him become a celebrity. 26. What did Bate like about being with British Cycling? A. He could compete regularly. B. He could do heavy exercise. C. He could get direct support. D. He could face his weakness. 27. What would be the best title for the text? A. Visible Days in the Past B. A Race to the Finish Line C. A Journey from Adventure to Medals D. Strength Facing Darkness 【答案】24. A 25. A 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述残奥会自行车运动员史蒂夫·贝特确诊眼疾后不畏失明风险，挑战自我、坚持拼搏并突破人生极限的励志故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“He battled depression after receiving the news, but grew to accept it — and then quickly became determined to make the most of the vision he had, while he had it. (他得知消息后与抑郁症抗争，但慢慢接受了这件事，随后立刻下定决心，要在自己还保有视力的时候，充分利用仅剩的视力。)”可知，贝特接受自身病情后，决定充分利用自己剩余的视力。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Pulling myself over the top felt amazing. It made me believe I could do anything.(奋力登顶的感觉棒极了。这让我相信自己可以完成任何事。)”可知，成功登顶酋长岩极大地增强了贝特的自信心。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“At British Cycling I could go to anyone and ask, and they would give me the best advice — whether it was on nutrition, training or strength.(在英国自行车队我可以去找任何人询问，并且他们都会给我最好的建议——不管是营养、训练还是力量方面。)”可知，贝特喜欢这里的原因是能够获得全方位、直接的指导与支持。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是尾段中的“Although going blind still frightened him in many ways, Steve Bate said he had come to see it as a huge challenge — and as an opportunity to reach his full potential, which excited him most.(尽管失明依旧在很多方面让他心生恐惧，史蒂夫·贝特说他已然将其视作一项巨大挑战——同时也是发掘自身全部潜能的机遇，这一点最令他振奋。)”可知，文章围绕主人公直面失明困境、迎难而上、突破自我的经历展开，凸显了直面黑暗、奋勇拼搏的力量，所以“Strength Facing Darkness(直面黑暗的力量)”最能概括全文核心，适合作为最佳标题。 C Children are increasingly taking breaks from their smartphones to better manage their mental health, personal safety, and concentration spans (持续时间), research has shown. They are reacting to growing concerns that spending too much time online can be harmful by taking control of their own social media and smartphone use rather than relying on parents to set limits, according to experts. Prof Sonia Livingstone, the director of the LSE’s Digital Futures for Children centre, said her research has found that children and young people are trying various options to manage how their online lives affect their well-being, including taking a break from social media, distracting themselves to get away from negativity online, seeking more positive experiences on the internet and in some cases quitting social media altogether. Livingstone said: “Children have got the message — from their parents, the media, their own experiences — that too much social media isn’t always good for them. So, they are experimenting with different ways to protect their well-being. I’m sure they’re talking to each other about what works for them and figuring out the best way ahead.” Daisy Greenwell, the co-founder of Smartphone-Free Childhood, notes that children do need a change. Greenwell said she was increasingly speaking to young people who were “questioning the idea that growing up online is unavoidable”. She said: “We regularly hear from teenagers who are worn out by the pressure of being permanently connected and who are choosing to step back for their own mental health.” The number of 12- to 15-year-olds who take breaks from smartphones, computers and tablets has risen by 18% to 40% since 2022, according to a famous research company, drawing on a survey of 20,000 young people and their parents across 18 countries. A 2024 report found that 47% of 16- to 24-year-olds who use social media turn off notifications (通知) and use “do not disturb” mode, an increase from 40% in 2023. 28. What do children hope to gain by limiting smartphone use? A. Improved well-being. B. Social approval. C. True self-satisfaction. D. Closer friendships. 29. What can be learned about the teenagers in Livingstone’s research? A. They appreciate their parents’ help. B. They actively address their concerns. C. They completely avoid social media. D. They struggle to beat their digital addiction. 30. How does Greenwell support her opinion? A. By telling her story. B. By making a comparison. C. By quoting an expert. D. By presenting teenagers’ views. 31. What do the figures in the last paragraph indicate about young people? A. Their increased internet use. B. Their reduced reliance on parents. C. Their growing awareness of digital use. D. Their declining interest in socialising. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍当下青少年主动减少手机使用以维护身心健康，结合多位专家观点与调研数据说明该现象的成因与发展趋势。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Prof Sonia Livingstone, the director of the LSE’s Digital Futures for Children centre, said her research has found that children and young people are trying various options to manage how their online lives affect their well-being, including taking a break from social media, distracting themselves to get away from negativity online, seeking more positive experiences on the internet and in some cases quitting social media altogether. (伦敦政治经济学院儿童数字未来中心主任索尼娅·利文斯通教授表示，她的研究发现儿童与青少年正尝试多种方式来管控线上生活对自身身心健康造成的影响，包括暂时停用社交媒体、转移注意力以摆脱网络负面信息、在网络上寻找更多积极体验，部分情况下则彻底放弃使用社交媒体。)”可知，孩子们限制手机使用是希望改善自身身心健康状态。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“So, they are experimenting with different ways to protect their well-being. I’m sure they’re talking to each other about what works for them and figuring out the best way ahead. (所以，他们正在尝试各种各样的方法来保护自身身心健康。我确信他们会互相交流哪些方法对自己有效，并找出今后最合适的办法。)”可知，青少年主动探索办法，积极应对过度上网带来的困扰。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“She said: “We regularly hear from teenagers who are worn out by the pressure of being permanently connected and who are choosing to step back for their own mental health.” (她说：“我们经常收到青少年的倾诉，他们因时刻在线的压力身心俱疲，并且为了自身心理健康选择退离网络。”)”可知，格林韦尔通过引用青少年自身的真实想法支撑自己的观点。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据尾段中的“The number of 12- to 15-year-olds who take breaks from smartphones, computers and tablets has risen by 18% to 40% since 2022, according to a famous research company, drawing on a survey of 20,000 young people and their parents across 18 countries. A 2024 report found that 47% of 16- to 24-year-olds who use social media turn off notifications (通知) and use “do not disturb” mode, an increase from 40% in 2023. (据一家知名调研机构基于覆盖18个国家两万名青少年及其家长开展的一项调查显示，自2022年起，主动放下手机、电脑和平板休息的12至15岁青少年占比上涨18个百分点，达到40%。一份2024年的报告指出，47%使用社交媒体的16至24岁年轻人会关闭消息通知并开启勿扰模式，该数据相较2023年的40%有所上升。)”可知，相关数据体现年轻人越来越有意识地管控自身数字设备使用行为。 D Minerals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel and rare earth elements are essential for wind generators, electric vehicles, cell phones and other technologies. With demand rising, some are now looking to tap the seafloor for its vast metal minerals. This practice, called deep-sea mining, aims to extract mineral resources from the ocean floor, hundreds or thousands of meters below the surface. While exploratory mining to test equipment has occurred at a small size, deep-sea mining has not yet been undertaken commercially. Most deep-sea mining interest is concentrated in international waters. This means the industry’s future will largely depend on how the UN’s International Seabed Authority (ISA) decides to regulate it. Despite years of negotiations, the ISA and its membership have been unable to agree on rules that will govern commercial mining operations in international waters. Meanwhile, opinion remains deeply divided on whether deep-sea mining should be allowed at all. Supporters argue that deep-sea mining could help meet growing mineral needs for clean energy and digital technologies, while avoiding the destruction of forests and freshwater pollution linked to land-based mining. They also claim offshore extraction might reduce human rights abuses in supply chains. The science so far paints a concerning picture, predicting direct harm to marine life from heavy equipment and clouds of stirred-up sediment (沉积物), long-term disturbance of rare, slow-reproducing species and ecosystems, and potential species extinction due to habitat loss. Waste emission could spread far beyond mining sites, threatening fisheries essential for food security and economies. Mining also carries social and governance risks through coastal development and unfair profit distribution, and the loss of biodiversity may damage the ocean’s carbon cycle, weakening its role in regulating global climate. The need for critical minerals is undeniable. But there is no easy answer to meet this demand responsibly, given the immature state and potential dangers of mining at sea and the well-understood harms associated with mining on land. With so many unknowns, the question remains: Is deep-sea mining necessary - or too great a gamble (赌博)? 32. What is the main reason large-size deep-sea mining has not started yet? A. Lack of advanced mining equipment. B. Limited knowledge of the ocean floor. C. Disagreement on international regulations. D. Low demand for deep-sea mineral resources. 33. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning deep-sea mining? A. Its possible advantages. B. Its hidden risks. C. Its development history. D. Its practical operations. 34. What might be a consequence of deep-sea mining according to the text? A. Sharp rise in sea levels. B. Disappearance of coastal lands. C. Great changes in local weather. D. Unequal sharing of mining profits. 35. What is the author’s attitude toward deep-sea mining? A. Strongly opposed. B. Thoughtfully concerned. C. Fully supportive. D. Completely indifferent. 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要说明了为获取新能源所需矿产，有人提议深海采矿，但国际开采法规尚未达成共识。文章分别介绍开采利好与海洋、社会多重危害。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Despite years of negotiations, the ISA and its membership have been unable to agree on rules that will govern commercial mining operations in international waters.(尽管经过多年的谈判，国际海底管理局及其成员仍未能就规范国际水域商业采矿活动的规则达成一致)”可知，大型深海采矿尚未启动的主要原因是国际法规存在分歧。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Supporters argue that deep-sea mining could help meet growing mineral needs for clean energy and digital technologies, while avoiding the destruction of forests and freshwater pollution linked to land-based mining. They also claim offshore extraction might reduce human rights abuses in supply chains.(支持者认为，深海采矿有助于满足清洁能源和数字技术日益增长的矿物需求，同时避免了陆地采矿带来的森林破坏和淡水污染。他们还声称，海上开采可能减少供应链中的人权侵害问题)”可知，第三段主要讨论了深海采矿可能带来的优势。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Mining also carries social and governance risks through coastal development and unfair profit distribution, and the loss of biodiversity may damage the ocean’s carbon cycle, weakening its role in regulating global climate.(采矿还通过沿海开发和不公平的利润分配带来社会和治理风险，而生物多样性的丧失可能破坏海洋碳循环，削弱其调节全球气候的作用)”可知，深海采矿可能带来的后果是开采利润分配不均。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The need for critical minerals is undeniable. But there is no easy answer to meet this demand responsibly, given the immature state and potential dangers of mining at sea and the well-understood harms associated with mining on land. With so many unknowns, the question remains: Is deep-sea mining necessary - or too great a gamble (赌博)?(对关键矿物的需求是毋庸置疑的。然而，由于海上采矿尚处于不成熟阶段且存在潜在风险，再加上陆地采矿已知的种种危害，要负责任地满足这一需求，并没有简单的答案。面对如此诸多未知因素，问题依然悬而未决：深海采矿是否必要，还是太过冒险？)”可知，作者没有完全支持或反对，只是理性担忧、审慎思考。 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。 The path of a career is rarely a straight line.

I had just returned from school with a recommendation from my headteacher to apply to whichever school I pleased next. Looking out the window reminded me of how much I would miss this place: my garden, the crunch (嘎吱声) of autumn leaves under my feet, and other pleasant things. The season of hot coffee and relaxing reading sessions by the fireplace was here. But before I could enjoy any of it, came the news that my father would move to another city. I would have to leave my school and my friends. At 12 years of age, I was far from ready for such a change, but old enough to understand that life happens. So we moved. The new house was big, and Mum’s talent for decoration made everything comfortable and bright in no time. Still, life felt unsettled. “They are already halfway through the lessons in my classes,” I sighed while sitting with the family one evening. “So get some help. I’m sure your teachers and new classmates will give you a helping hand,” Dad said. He was sure I would catch up with the schoolwork since I had always been a hardworking student. “But there’s no one I’ve really built connection with so far,” I continued. “I’m sure you’ll be fine, little girl. Remember how you were the basketball star at your old school? Your skills will surely help you make new friends. Just reach out and relax,” Mum said softly. Schoolwork was not the only thing on my mind. The move had felt like a great change in my life. I had no friends or clubs I was part of, and everywhere I went, it seemed like the world was already in order — places were already filled, with no space left for me. That night, I went to bed early but found no rest. Dad’s encouraging words and Mum’s advice that I should “just reach out” cycled through my mind, and despite my doubts, I decided to have a go. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个单词左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day, I tried to interact with as many classmates as I could. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I slowly became part of this new world, getting better and better. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 The next day, I tried to interact with as many classmates as I could. And sure enough, I got along well with a group of basketball-loving girls in class. With their encouragement, I tried out for the school team. To my delight, I made a team. Not only did I find a place on the basketball court, but also some girls who were willing to help me catch up on my lessons after school. I had to give up some free time for extra learning and gather the courage to ask for help. But it all paid off. I slowly became part of this new world, growing like never before. I even found myself enjoying myself in my new life. On the basketball court, I found not just a sport, but a language of teamwork and trust. The city that once felt vast and empty now held familiar corners and friendly faces. “You’ve started to like this place, haven’t you?” Mum asked. “Yes, I have. And I think the place has started to like me too,” I said with a smile, realizing that life will always keep changing, all depending on how you choose to face it. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了十二岁的作者本可随心择校，却因父亲工作迁居他乡。转学后作者跟不上课业、没有挚友，内心孤独不安。在父母鼓励下，作者主动与人交往，凭借篮球结识伙伴，加入校队，还有同学帮作者补习功课。慢慢融入新生活后作者领悟，人生总在变化，心态决定生活感受。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写在父母鼓励下，作者主动与人交往，凭借篮球结识伙伴。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写慢慢融入新生活后作者领悟，人生总在变化，心态决定生活感受。 2.续写线索：主动与人交往→参加校队→结识伙伴→融入新生活→作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize/be aware of ②取决于：depend on/count on 情绪类 ①鼓励：encouragement/reassurance ②高兴：delight/joy 【点睛】[高分句型1] Not only did I find a place on the basketball court, but also some girls who were willing to help me catch up on my lessons after school.(运用了Not only的部分倒装句和who引导的定语从句) [高分句型2] I said with a smile, realizing that life will always keep changing, all depending on how you choose to face it.(运用了分词作状语以及that引导宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年下学期期末考试试题卷 高中二年级英语 本试题卷共四部分，满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 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。每段对话读两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Where does the man want to go?

Finding local beach cleanups is easier than you might think. You can use online directories, check community boards, and connect with local environmental organizations to find opportunities. These resources will provide you with the information you need to participate in cleanups and contribute to maintaining our beautiful beaches. Participating in monthly beach cleanups is a fantastic way to make a consistent impact. Organizations like the Surfrider Foundation Los Angeles Chapter organize monthly cleanups across LA County, engaging volunteers and raising awareness about plastic pollution. These regular events offer a chance for community members to contribute to environmental efforts.

Cleanups typically take place on the first Saturday of each month, organized by the Surfrider Foundation Los Angeles Chapter. What to Bring When attending a beach cleanup, it’s important to bring essential items to ensure a comfortable and productive experience. Reusable water bottles, sunscreen, and gloves are must-haves. While gloves and bags are usually provided, bringing personal items like hats and comfortable shoes can improve your experience. Group Participation For large groups, it’s advised to reach out to the organizers ahead of time to ensure proper arrangements. Arriving at least 15 minutes early to check in is also recommended.

B Steve Bate is a Paralympic cyclist — with the medals to prove it. He picked up two golds and a bronze at the Rio 2016 Paralympics, and completed the set with a silver at the Tokyo Paralympics. Bate was diagnosed (诊断) with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) in 2011, a condition which could eventually cause him to go blind. But rather than holding back his thirst for adventure, his diagnosis inspired him to push on. He battled depression after receiving the news, but grew to accept it — and then quickly became determined to make the most of the vision he had, while he had it. That was what led Bate to tackle El Capitan, one of the most famous rock formations in the world, rising more than 3,000 feet straight up. “The scariest part of El Capitan was finding the way,” Steve says. “I took a route that’s usually pretty clear. If you have normal eyesight, you can’t really get lost. But for me, the scariest thing was worrying I’d get stuck somewhere I couldn’t find my way back from.” Finally, Bate made it through the hardest part of the climb and reached the top of El Capitan. “Pulling myself over the top felt amazing. It made me believe I could do anything,” Steve says. A month before climbing El Capitan, Bate had attended a Talent Identification day for British Cycling. And soon, he was admitted to a program which would lead him to the Rio 2016 Paralympics. “I was back learning,” Steve says. “For El Capitan, I had to research everything on my own. At British Cycling I could go to anyone and ask, and they would give me the best advice — whether it was on nutrition, training or strength. I loved it.” Although going blind still frightened him in many ways, Steve Bate said he had come to see it as a huge challenge — and as an opportunity to reach his full potential, which excited him most. 24. What did Bate decide to do after accepting his medical condition? A. Use his eyesight to the fullest. B. Give up his desire for adventures. C. Battle depression caused by his diagnosis. D. Wait for treatment to improve his eyesight. 25. How did topping El Capitan affect Bate? A. It enhanced his confidence. B. It built up his sense of direction. C. It removed his fear of climbing. D. It helped him become a celebrity. 26. What did Bate like about being with British Cycling? A. He could compete regularly. B. He could do heavy exercise. C. He could get direct support. D. He could face his weakness. 27. What would be the best title for the text? A. Visible Days in the Past B. A Race to the Finish Line C. A Journey from Adventure to Medals D. Strength Facing Darkness C Children are increasingly taking breaks from their smartphones to better manage their mental health, personal safety, and concentration spans (持续时间), research has shown. They are reacting to growing concerns that spending too much time online can be harmful by taking control of their own social media and smartphone use rather than relying on parents to set limits, according to experts. Prof Sonia Livingstone, the director of the LSE’s Digital Futures for Children centre, said her research has found that children and young people are trying various options to manage how their online lives affect their well-being, including taking a break from social media, distracting themselves to get away from negativity online, seeking more positive experiences on the internet and in some cases quitting social media altogether. Livingstone said: “Children have got the message — from their parents, the media, their own experiences — that too much social media isn’t always good for them. So, they are experimenting with different ways to protect their well-being. I’m sure they’re talking to each other about what works for them and figuring out the best way ahead.” Daisy Greenwell, the co-founder of Smartphone-Free Childhood, notes that children do need a change. Greenwell said she was increasingly speaking to young people who were “questioning the idea that growing up online is unavoidable”. She said: “We regularly hear from teenagers who are worn out by the pressure of being permanently connected and who are choosing to step back for their own mental health.” The number of 12- to 15-year-olds who take breaks from smartphones, computers and tablets has risen by 18% to 40% since 2022, according to a famous research company, drawing on a survey of 20,000 young people and their parents across 18 countries. A 2024 report found that 47% of 16- to 24-year-olds who use social media turn off notifications (通知) and use “do not disturb” mode, an increase from 40% in 2023. 28. What do children hope to gain by limiting smartphone use? A. Improved well-being. B. Social approval. C. True self-satisfaction. D. Closer friendships. 29. What can be learned about the teenagers in Livingstone’s research? A. They appreciate their parents’ help. B. They actively address their concerns. C. They completely avoid social media. D. They struggle to beat their digital addiction. 30. How does Greenwell support her opinion? A. By telling her story. B. By making a comparison. C. By quoting an expert. D. By presenting teenagers’ views. 31. What do the figures in the last paragraph indicate about young people? A. Their increased internet use. B. Their reduced reliance on parents. C. Their growing awareness of digital use. D. Their declining interest in socialising. D Minerals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel and rare earth elements are essential for wind generators, electric vehicles, cell phones and other technologies. With demand rising, some are now looking to tap the seafloor for its vast metal minerals. This practice, called deep-sea mining, aims to extract mineral resources from the ocean floor, hundreds or thousands of meters below the surface. While exploratory mining to test equipment has occurred at a small size, deep-sea mining has not yet been undertaken commercially. Most deep-sea mining interest is concentrated in international waters. This means the industry’s future will largely depend on how the UN’s International Seabed Authority (ISA) decides to regulate it. Despite years of negotiations, the ISA and its membership have been unable to agree on rules that will govern commercial mining operations in international waters. Meanwhile, opinion remains deeply divided on whether deep-sea mining should be allowed at all. Supporters argue that deep-sea mining could help meet growing mineral needs for clean energy and digital technologies, while avoiding the destruction of forests and freshwater pollution linked to land-based mining. They also claim offshore extraction might reduce human rights abuses in supply chains. The science so far paints a concerning picture, predicting direct harm to marine life from heavy equipment and clouds of stirred-up sediment (沉积物), long-term disturbance of rare, slow-reproducing species and ecosystems, and potential species extinction due to habitat loss. Waste emission could spread far beyond mining sites, threatening fisheries essential for food security and economies. Mining also carries social and governance risks through coastal development and unfair profit distribution, and the loss of biodiversity may damage the ocean’s carbon cycle, weakening its role in regulating global climate. The need for critical minerals is undeniable. But there is no easy answer to meet this demand responsibly, given the immature state and potential dangers of mining at sea and the well-understood harms associated with mining on land. With so many unknowns, the question remains: Is deep-sea mining necessary - or too great a gamble (赌博)? 32. What is the main reason large-size deep-sea mining has not started yet? A. Lack of advanced mining equipment. B. Limited knowledge of the ocean floor. C. Disagreement on international regulations. D. Low demand for deep-sea mineral resources. 33. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning deep-sea mining? A. Its possible advantages. B. Its hidden risks. C. Its development history. D. Its practical operations. 34. What might be a consequence of deep-sea mining according to the text? A. Sharp rise in sea levels. B. Disappearance of coastal lands. C. Great changes in local weather. D. Unequal sharing of mining profits. 35. What is the author’s attitude toward deep-sea mining? A. Strongly opposed. B. Thoughtfully concerned. C. Fully supportive. D. Completely indifferent. 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。 The path of a career is rarely a straight line.

I had just returned from school with a recommendation from my headteacher to apply to whichever school I pleased next. Looking out the window reminded me of how much I would miss this place: my garden, the crunch (嘎吱声) of autumn leaves under my feet, and other pleasant things. The season of hot coffee and relaxing reading sessions by the fireplace was here. But before I could enjoy any of it, came the news that my father would move to another city. I would have to leave my school and my friends. At 12 years of age, I was far from ready for such a change, but old enough to understand that life happens. So we moved. The new house was big, and Mum’s talent for decoration made everything comfortable and bright in no time. Still, life felt unsettled. “They are already halfway through the lessons in my classes,” I sighed while sitting with the family one evening. “So get some help. I’m sure your teachers and new classmates will give you a helping hand,” Dad said. He was sure I would catch up with the schoolwork since I had always been a hardworking student. “But there’s no one I’ve really built connection with so far,” I continued. “I’m sure you’ll be fine, little girl. Remember how you were the basketball star at your old school? Your skills will surely help you make new friends. Just reach out and relax,” Mum said softly. Schoolwork was not the only thing on my mind. The move had felt like a great change in my life. I had no friends or clubs I was part of, and everywhere I went, it seemed like the world was already in order — places were already filled, with no space left for me. That night, I went to bed early but found no rest. Dad’s encouraging words and Mum’s advice that I should “just reach out” cycled through my mind, and despite my doubts, I decided to have a go. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个单词左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day, I tried to interact with as many classmates as I could. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I slowly became part of this new world, getting better and better. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。请看听力部分第一节，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。excuse me, how can I get to the library?
