B Eating out in the United States is not much different than eating out in other parts of the world. There are still fast-food chains such as McDonald’s and KFC for those hamburgers. However, what makes the restaurants in the US unique is that there is a cultural diversity of restaurants serving food from almost every part of the world. When you arrive in Irvine, and travel around the city, you will find many restaurants of many different cultures, ranging from Europe to the Middle East and Asia. So, when you first arrive, there are always restaurants close by that offer the food you prefer. Now how do you find those restaurants and know if they are good or not? The most common way is through the Internet. In the US, most restaurants can be found through a smartphone app called Yelp. It is a commonly used search engine for restaurants and it is very convenient to use! All you need is to enter the cuisine you want such as “Indian, Sichuan, Sushi, Vegetarian, etc.” In addition, each restaurant on there is also rated and reviewed by some of their past customers. At some restaurants, you can also sign up for the waiting list through the app to economize on time! If you don’t have time to go out and eat, there are food delivery services available. Traditionally, pizza is the most common food for delivery. Some delivery services you can try are DoorDash, Uber Eats, or Postmates. All you would need to do is just open a free account, select the restaurants on their webpage, order from the menu, and enter your address to have the food delivered to your home. They usually have a delivery discount the first time you sign up for an account, so be sure to take advantage of that! 4. What sets restaurants in the United States apart from other parts of the world? A. The use of Internet apps for ordering food. B. The tradition of having food delivered to one’s home. C. The presence of fast-food chains like McDonald’s and KFC. D. The availability of a wide range of cultural diversity in food options. 5. What is the most common way for visitors to find restaurants serving their preferred cuisine? A. By exploring the city on foot. B. By asking the locals for recommendations. C. By using the Yelp app to search for specific cuisines. D. By checking in at their hotel for a list of nearby restaurants. 6. What do the underlined words “economize on” mean in the second paragraph? A. Save. B. Spend. C. Kill. D. Waste. 7. How do food delivery services in the US attract new customers? A. By offering a wide range of food options. B. By providing free delivery for all orders. C. By allowing customers to order through smartphone apps. D. By offering delivery discounts to first-time account sign-ups. C Adults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects. Why do we often think that more is more when it comes to kids and their belongings? The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less. I found the holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate less-used things, and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund. For weeks, I’ve been thinking of bigger, deeper questions: How do we make it a habit for them? And how do we train ourselves to help them live with need, and use less? Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes, max. I chose a red rubber ball — simple, universally available. We passed it; he tried to put it in his mouth; he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it and throwing it. It was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it, an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch. We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full attention and I had his. My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us. 8. What do the words “more is more” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Enough is enough. B. Earn more and spend more. C. More money, more worries. D. The more, the better. 9. What made Georgia agree to sell some of her objects? A. Adding the money to her school fund. B. Raising money for a little boy. C. Saving up for her holiday. D. Giving the money to a sick mother. 10. Why did the author play the ball with Shepherd? A. To train his attention. B. To show a parent’s love. C. To try out an idea. D. To help him start a hobby. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Take it or leave it B. A lesson from kids C. Live more with less D. The pleasure of giving D Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risks, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold and brave — and mighty forces will come to your aid. Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again. Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can chew. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgement, creative ideas — even physical strength greater than most of us realise. Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But sometimes they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet — and stopped him suddenly.” Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme — is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better than the person who tries to do nothing. So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities, and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed. 12. Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past? A. He faced huge risks. B. He lacked mighty forces. C. Fear prevented him from trying. D. Failure blocked his way to success. 13. What is the implied meaning of the underlined part? A. Swallow more than you can digest. B. Act slightly above your abilities. C. Develop more mysterious powers. D. Learn to make creative decisions. 14. What was especially important for Tim’s successful defence in the football game? A. His physical strength. B. His basic skill. C. His real fear. D. His spiritual force. 15. What can be learnt from Paragraph 5? A. Confidence grows more rapidly in adults. B. Trying without success is meaningless. C. Repeated failures create a better life. D. Boldness can be gained little by little. 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。 The transition from high school to college is a major one, and successful adjustment to college has lifelong influences.

I was out with a group of friends and we just decided to go swimming. What they didn’t know was that it was my first time. So I lost control quickly. I struggled in the water for a few seconds, trying my possible best to get control of my body to avoid drowning. After a few seconds, luckily, I found my feet — literally. I stood up, and that was it. I just couldn’t afford to trust the water anymore. After that experience, I was never interested in going swimming again. Ten years later, I was looking through my notebooks one day and I saw a note where I wrote things I was going to try. It was written during my 21st birthday. One of the things I wrote was that I was going to learn how to swim. It is exactly six years since I wrote those things down. And apart from starting my first business, I haven’t finished doing up to ten per cent of the things I wrote. So I decided that I was going to start crossing off the things written on that list as soon as I could. That was when I decided to go swimming again. Unlike before, I made plans for it. I decided beforehand that no excuse was going to stop me this time. I made sure I finished all the tasks I had at work. I didn’t want any excuse to tie me down this time. So I decided on the pool I was going to use, which was about 1.5 metres deep. I bought my swimming gear. I told some of my friends and even got some to come along with me. I just didn’t want to chicken out at the last minute and I wanted to overcome my fear of water. 注意： 续写词数应为150左右。 Paragraph 1: When the day came, I went into the water. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I have learnt a lot from my swimming experience. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年上学期高二期末考试 英语 注意事项: 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑；如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 一、听力-选择题：本大题共20小题，共30分。 1.What are the speakers talking about？ A.

Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes, max. I chose a red rubber ball — simple, universally available. We passed it; he tried to put it in his mouth; he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it and throwing it. It was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it, an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch. We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full attention and I had his. My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us. 8. What do the words “more is more” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Enough is enough. B. Earn more and spend more. C. More money, more worries. D. The more, the better. 9. What made Georgia agree to sell some of her objects? A. Adding the money to her school fund. B. Raising money for a little boy. C. Saving up for her holiday. D. Giving the money to a sick mother. 10. Why did the author play the ball with Shepherd? A. To train his attention. B. To show a parent’s love. C. To try out an idea. D. To help him start a hobby. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Take it or leave it B. A lesson from kids C. Live more with less D. The pleasure of giving 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文作者通过引导女儿捐赠闲置物品、陪儿子单玩具玩耍的亲身经历，告诉读者一个道理：生活无需繁多物资，极简生活能收获更多快乐与满足。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Adults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects. Why do we often think that more is more when it comes to kids and their belongings? (成年人懂得被物品淹没是什么感觉。为什么当涉及到孩子和他们的财物时，我们常认为more is more呢？)”可知，此处“more is more”描述的是一种面对孩子财物时认为越多越好的心态，与前半句“被物品淹没”形成对照。D选项“The more, the better(越多越好)”符合语境。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund. (当我们承诺将卖玩具的钱存入她的学校基金时，她选择卖掉了几件不常用的较大物件。)”可知，是将钱存入学校基金的承诺促使Georgia同意卖掉部分物品。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest. (昨天，我和儿子Shepherd坐在一起，决心就此验证我自己的理论。我决定只用一件玩具陪他玩，只要他能保持兴趣就行。)”可知，作者和Shepherd玩球是为了测试自己关于“少即是多”的理论，即尝试一个想法。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开篇即点明主旨：“The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less. (好消息是，我能帮我的孩子们比我更早学会如何用更少的东西过上更富足的生活。)”教育孩子用更少的东西过上更富足的生活的理念。全文围绕这一主题展开，通过捐赠玩具和单球游戏两个事例进行印证。C选项“Live more with less (少拥有，多生活)”精准概括了文章主旨。 D Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risks, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold and brave — and mighty forces will come to your aid. Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again. Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can chew. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgement, creative ideas — even physical strength greater than most of us realise. Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But sometimes they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet — and stopped him suddenly.” Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme — is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better than the person who tries to do nothing. So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities, and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed. 12. Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past? A. He faced huge risks. B. He lacked mighty forces. C. Fear prevented him from trying. D. Failure blocked his way to success. 13. What is the implied meaning of the underlined part? A. Swallow more than you can digest. B. Act slightly above your abilities. C. Develop more mysterious powers. D. Learn to make creative decisions. 14. What was especially important for Tim’s successful defence in the football game? A. His physical strength. B. His basic skill. C. His real fear. D. His spiritual force. 15. What can be learnt from Paragraph 5? A. Confidence grows more rapidly in adults. B. Trying without success is meaningless. C. Repeated failures create a better life. D. Boldness can be gained little by little. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文作者结合自身经历与具体事例，阐述勇敢大胆的重要意义，指出突破自我、敢于尝试能够激发人的潜在力量，鼓励人们不断超越自身能力、勇敢面对挑战。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. (这些话让我清楚地认识到，过去我未能达成目标，很少是因为尝试了却失败了，大多是因为对失败的恐惧让我根本不敢尝试。)”可知，作者过去无法达成目标是因为恐惧阻碍了自己的尝试。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can chew. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess (勇敢意味着下定决心去bite off more than you can chew。那些强大的力量并不神秘，它们是我们拥有的潜在力量)”可知，这句话是对“Boldness(勇敢)”的解释，意指主动承担超出当前能力范围的任务，即行动略高于现有能力。B选项“Act slightly above your abilities(行动略高于你的能力)”符合语境。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But sometimes they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. (诚然，那些强大的力量属于精神力量。但有时它们比体力更重要。我的大学同学蒂姆是一名出色的足球运动员，尽管他的体重远轻于平均水平的球员。)”以及蒂姆自述在极度恐惧中爆发出惊人力量拦住对手的经历可知，蒂姆防守成功的关键在于精神力量。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme — is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. (勇敢——一种愿意将自己推向极致的意愿——并非一日之功。但它可以教给孩子，也可以在成人身上培养。信心是逐步建立起来的。)”可知，勇敢是可以循序渐进地获得的。D选项“Boldness can be gained little by little (勇敢可以一点点获得)”与此意相符。 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。 The transition from high school to college is a major one, and successful adjustment to college has lifelong influences.

I was out with a group of friends and we just decided to go swimming. What they didn’t know was that it was my first time. So I lost control quickly. I struggled in the water for a few seconds, trying my possible best to get control of my body to avoid drowning. After a few seconds, luckily, I found my feet — literally. I stood up, and that was it. I just couldn’t afford to trust the water anymore. After that experience, I was never interested in going swimming again. Ten years later, I was looking through my notebooks one day and I saw a note where I wrote things I was going to try. It was written during my 21st birthday. One of the things I wrote was that I was going to learn how to swim. It is exactly six years since I wrote those things down. And apart from starting my first business, I haven’t finished doing up to ten per cent of the things I wrote. So I decided that I was going to start crossing off the things written on that list as soon as I could. That was when I decided to go swimming again. Unlike before, I made plans for it. I decided beforehand that no excuse was going to stop me this time. I made sure I finished all the tasks I had at work. I didn’t want any excuse to tie me down this time. So I decided on the pool I was going to use, which was about 1.5 metres deep. I bought my swimming gear. I told some of my friends and even got some to come along with me. I just didn’t want to chicken out at the last minute and I wanted to overcome my fear of water. 注意： 续写词数应为150左右。 Paragraph 1: When the day came, I went into the water. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I have learnt a lot from my swimming experience. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: When the day came, I went into the water. Once in the water, the terrible memory went back to me quickly and my mind got confused. It seemed that I would never learn to swim. However, I suddenly remembered what I had promised myself. I kept telling myself that I wasn’t going to drown and my friends were there to encourage me to relax. I made it. I was so happy, not just because of the swimming experience, but because I had overcome my fear of water. Paragraph 2: I have learnt a lot from my swimming experience. That experience made me realise that the only limitation we have is the one that we place over ourselves in our minds. In other words, if I could overcome my fear of water, I can go ahead and live my life without limits. That means every other thing I wrote down on that list can be finished as well.
