Today, that vision is a reality. “Clean energy” covers various technologies — here are five ways to use virtually limitless power sources: CLEAN ENERGY SOLAR Solar panels have become less expensive and more efficient in recent years. That’s making it more competitive with other technologies and driving a rapid growth in solar adoption. WIND Wind machines produce the lowest-priced renewable energy. In places with enough wind, it can be cost-competitive without government allowance, and it may even be cheaper than fossil fuels. BIOMASS Biomass (生物质) energy originates from living or recently living organisms — everything from forest residue to algae and switchgrass. GEOTHERMAL Geothermal (地热) energy taps into the internal heat of the earth — from hot water just below the ground to steam produced much further down. WATERPOWER Falling or running water is one of the oldest energy sources in the world. When sustainably designed, it can be a reliable clean energy. Technological innovations and new financing methods are making renewable energy more accessible than ever before. As a result, these energy sources are expected to account for half of our global energy mix by 2030. Here are the details:Renewable Energy Generation: 2012 vs. 2030 / TWh “I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that,” Thomas Edison said in 1931. His far-sighted idea has become real progress — the world’s shift to renewable energy is growing fast. This helps the world meet its increasing power needs in a more sustainable way, and build a cleaner, healthier, and brighter future. 1．Which type of clean energy has the lowest cost? A．Solar. B．Wind. C．Waterpower. D．Geothermal. 2．How much is the expected growth in biomass generation from 2012 to 2030? A．3,100 TWh. B．3,646 TWh. C．4,000 TWh. D．4,900 TWh. 3．Why does the author quote Edison? A．To warn of the energy shortage. B．To honor his great contributions. C．To appreciate the evolution of energy. D．To reflect the crucial role of coal at his time. B Steve Bagmanyan found his calling in a workshop filled with broken instruments. But every year, the shop brings both joy and heartbreak. Due to budget cuts, the number of technicians has dropped from 60 to just 11, leaving them to repair instruments for more than half a million students in Los Angeles public schools. “The work we do is important and needs to be preserved, but it’s becoming a dying craft,” said Bagmanyan,60, who runs the shop and handles piano repairs. “Children are our future, yet music programs are being cut across the country.” However, there is hope for the shop. The Last Repair Shop, a short documentary featuring Bagmanyan and three other technicians, recently won an Oscar for best documentary short film. The film combines their personal stories with reflections from students who have found comfort and joy in music. Few people even knew the shop existed before the documentary’s release. This workshop, in operation since 1959, is believed to be the last of its kind in the country. Bagmanyan and his team provide free instruments and repairs across the school district, often serving children from low-income families. For many of these children, public schools are their only source of musical instruments, which wealthier families can more easily afford. Since the release of the film, public support has soared. Donations have been made to fund more repairs and strengthen school music programs in Los Angeles. “People are inspired by what we do and want to support a dying art form,” said Ben Proudfoot, who co-directed the documentary. Bagmanyan knows that a poorly maintained instrument can discourage a child from learning. “If an instrument doesn’t work properly, a child might give up on music,” he said. “But when you know the instrument is going to a student who loves it, it’s impossible not to smile.” After 21 years of service, Bagmanyan says his cup is full, knowing that children may carry a love of music with them for a lifetime. “I was planning to retire,” he admitted. “But now I’ll rebuild the shop to what it once was and keep going a little longer.” 4．What is the challenge faced by Bagmanyan? A．Old instruments. B．Declining number of students. C．Low profitability. D．Shortage of skilled technicians. 5．What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The career achievements of Bagmanyan. B．The popularity of the documentary. C．The unique history of the school district. D．The importance of the repair shop. 6．How does the documentary impact the shop? A．It enhances the shop’s public image. B．It attracts new business opportunities. C．It helps sustain the shop’s operation. D．It provides education to the community. 7．What do the underlined words “his cup is full” in the last paragraph mean? A．He is ready to retire. B．He feels deeply satisfied. C．He is tired of the spotlight. D．He has become very wealthy. C Each year, over 1.2 billion new smartphones are produced worldwide. This not only consumes significant energy and natural resources but also results in large amounts of electronic waste, as users often replace functional devices every few years. To address this issue, researchers have developed a new approach-transforming old phones into small-scale data centers for practical applications. “Innovation often begins not with something new, but with a new way of thinking about the old,” said Huber, an associate professor. The research team demonstrated that outdated smartphones can be transformed into tiny data centers capable of processing and storing data for real-world applications. They also found that building such a data center only costs around 8 euros per device, making it an economical solution. In their experiment, the scientists carefully removed the batteries to prevent chemical leakage and connected four old phones using 3D-printed cases. The system was powered externally and tested in practical environments. One successful trial of the new approach involved underwater sea life monitoring, where the device automatically recorded and analyzed sea species. Tasks that once required divers can now be handled directly by the device underwater. These reused devices show promise in other areas as well. For example, they could be applied at bus stops to monitor passenger flow patterns and help urban planners adjust public transportation schedules and routes. This approach not only reduces e-waste but also supports sustainable digital solutions for modern communities. “This smart, green approach rethinks our throwaway tech culture. Sustainability is not just about preserving the future but also about reimagining the present, turning yesterday’s devices into tomorrow’s solutions,” added Ulrich, an Associate Professor of Software Engineering. With minimal investment and creative thinking, outdated technology can serve new purposes, contributing to a greener digital society while effectively addressing the growing problem of electronic waste. 8．Which of the following best describes the new approach in paragraph 2? A．Time-saving. B．Cost-effective C．User-friendly. D．Labor-intensive. 9．What was a successful application of the new approach? A．Assisting divers in recording sea animals. B．Producing 3D-printed cases for ocean use C．Monitoring underwater life independently. D．Supplying power to underwater equipment. 10．What can we infer about the reused devices from paragraph 4? A．They predict the city traffic patterns. B．They inform passengers of bus arrivals. C．They help with smart city management D．They assess the work of urban planners. 11．Which can be a suitable title for the text? A．The Global Smartphone Waste Problem B．A Green Solution: Repurposing Old Phones C．An Eco-Digital Guide: Electronic Engineering D．The Sustainability of Smart City Development D There have been huge advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) programs that create art. The programs, creating artworks based on short descriptions, have amazed many people. But they have also raised tough questions. NewsForKids.net reported on Dall-E2, a tool from OpenAI. Dall-E2 uses AI to create incredible paintings, photos, and other artworks in different styles based on simple descriptions. Since then, OpenAI has changed its rules to allow anyone to sign up and use the tool. But it’s still putting strong controls on the art that can be created. Now several other AI tools work in similar ways. These new tools are free or cheap, and don’t have some of Dall-E2’s limits. The new tools are entertaining and powerful. They allow people to quickly see almost any idea they can imagine, even if they aren’t artists. For creative workers, the tools allow them to quickly explore new ideas. These new AI art tools are all trained in similar ways — using massive collections of pictures with matching descriptions. The programs begin to create new images with a random pattern of dots. Step by step, they use their training to change the pattern until parts of the image begin to match the description. However, artists are upset that they’re now competing against computers for attention, prizes and jobs. It’s hard for a single artist to compete against all the art and photography appearing on the Internet. The images and descriptions used to train these AI programs were taken from the Internet, therefore, the tools can produce images that aren’t appropriate. Yet, what concerned the artists most was that the training images were used without permission, causing questions whether what these tools are doing is fair or legal. Once created, an artwork is protected by copyright. The creators of the training pictures—the photographers, the artists, and even the people in the pictures — haven’t given permission for their images to be used. 12．How do AI art programs like Dall-E2 create artworks? A．By changing photos taken by users. B．By using short descriptions as a basis. C．By asking professional artists for help. D．By copying existing famous paintings. 13．What aspect of AI art tools does paragraph 4 focus on? A．Their strong functions. B．Their wide application. C．Their working principle. D．Their common features. 14．Which factor related to the AI art tools upsets artists most? A．The huge collecting capacity of the Internet. B．The great creative ability beyond imagination. C．The inappropriate artwork created by the tools. D．The illegal use of training images from the Internet. 15．What makes the best title for the text? A．AI Art Tools: Newborn Innovations. B．AI Art Tools: Powerful Competitors. C．AI Art Tools Amaze or Upset Artists? D．AI Art Tools Improve Art Significantly? 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。 About a year ago, our dishwasher broke down. We called a repairman and were told it would have to be replaced. 16 So my mother asked me to wash dishes by hand after dinner. To understand why this upset me so much, you need to know what my life was like as a university senior. 17 Homework assignments, projects and tests competed for my attention and time. I caged myself in a prison of my own ambitions and expectations, cut off from many aspects of the world. So when I first started washing dishes, I felt annoyed. I was in a rush to be done with them, eager to get back to my endless list of tasks. 18 For about 15 minutes every day, I realized that I could slow down time and forget everything in the world. As my mind, eyes and hands focused on a simple task that would always result in success, I found peace. Though the new dishwasher arrived eventually, I continued to wash dishes by hand. This task became more relaxing and educational than I could have imagined. 19 From my kitchen window, I watched the seasons change: the tomato plant grew in summer, gave its fruit in fall, and died back in winter. Then new green was showing in spring. I kept these sights in mind, thinking on time itself. Washing dishes taught me to think of the completion of a task as the ultimate reward, not praise or a prize. I learned to be more relaxed about deadlines. 20 A．It definitely allowed me to recover. B．Now I can enjoy whatever task I’m doing. C．I was running around stressed most of the day. D．It took a while for the model we ordered to arrive. E．But a new dishwasher was out of our consideration. F．I should have accomplished them with even greater efforts. G．Washing dishes, though, caused an admirable transformation in me. 第二部分 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人空白处的最佳选项。 Peregrine Church, a former magician, has always struggled with the gloomy weather in his home city of Seattle. Thus, he wanted to come up with a new way to surprise and delight people, in part to help 21 his own mood in the dark days of winter. He developed a(n) 22 spray (喷雾) that can be used to make sidewalk art that can last for up to four months. The water-based solution proves environmentally friendly as it degrades 23 . Most importantly, it ensures that the art work appears only when wet. “It gives people a 24 to look forward to the rainy days,” Church said. He had no idea that what started as his own experiment would 25 to other cities in the United States and even around the world. Church’s 26 came from a viral video, in which clothes were sprayed with a hydrophobic (不溶于水的) coating, a substance that protects 27 from getting wet. This sparked a question in his mind: could the same 28 be applied to sidewalks? After trial and error, he finally 29 the right method for his sidewalk art. Recently, he has partnered with schools and authorities to create 30 amusement for those waiting or walking down the street on dull days. The art never fails to arouse 31 in viewers. “You could see their faces light up,” one official recalled. Church also sells the spray and tools to help people make their own rain art for special 32 , like festivals or celebrations. The only challenge is timing. The ground needs to be 33 enough to make the art and then wet enough for it to 34 . Church hopes that he can inspire others to break free from daily routine. “The whole goal is to make people 35 when it rains,” he said. 21．A．lift B．hide C．maintain D．detect 22．A．complex B．invisible C．expensive D．cooling 23．A．slowly B．suddenly C．partially D．naturally 24．A．way B．need C．reason D．chance 25．A．return B．switch C．jump D．spread 26．A．fortune B．inspiration C．memory D．reputation 27．A．items B．devices C．creations D．surfaces 28．A．test B．label C．principle D．art 29．A．hit on B．set aside C．referred to D．gave away 30．A．basic B．ordinary C．rigid D．playful 31．A．delight B．pride C．curiosity D．confusion 32．A．parties B．functions C．occasions D．affairs 33．A．dry B．flat C．hard D．clean 34．A．fade away B．show up C．take in D．come off 35．A．wait B．draw C．run D．smile 第二节(共10小题：每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 In Rong’an County, Guangxi, known as the “home of kumquats (金桔),” a quiet 36 (transform) has been underway. Since the national rural revitalization (振兴) strategy was launched, the local government 37 (encourage) farmers to move away from traditional farming methods and embrace modern agricultural techniques. The results speak for 38 (they). Today, the total area of kumquat cultivation in Rong’an has reached 226,000 acres, producing an annual output of over 260,000 tons. The real change lies not in quantity 39 in quality. Local factories now process the fruit into high-value products, from dried kumquats to skincare items, 40 (create) thousands of jobs for villagers who once had to leave their hometowns for work. Perhaps even more encouraging is 41 return of young people. Many who once worked in big cities have come back to start online businesses, selling local products 42 livestreaming platforms. “We used to believe that success meant leaving,” said a young farmer 43 orchard (果园) has now become a fine example. He sticks to carrying out 44 (sustain) agriculture in his hometown. “Now we know we can build a future right here.” As the success of Rong’an demonstrates, rural revitalization is not about turning villages into cities. Instead, it is about discovering the unique value of each place and giving local people the tools they need 45 (grow) their own future. 第三部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节 应用文写作(满分15分) 46．假定你是李华。你班英语课开展“课前一分钟看图说话”活动。请根据以下漫画写一则发言稿。 写作内容： 1. 描述漫画内容； 2. 谈谈你的看法。 注意：词数80左右；格式已给出。 Good morning, everyone! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you! 第二节 读后续写(满分25分) 47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整短文。 Sarah dreamed of being a wildlife photographer. Ever since she was a little girl, she’d flip through nature magazines and think, “I want to capture that—moments that make people feel like they’re right there, breathing the same air as these creatures.” Every weekend, she’d pack her bag with her father’s old camera, extra batteries, and hike an hour to the nearby forest. But after months of patient waiting, she still had no perfect shot — deer would run away at the creak of her boots, birds would dart off before she could twist the focus ring, and even squirrels seemed to sense her camera lens and vanish. She’d sit on her favorite oak stump at dusk, staring at her camera screen, feeling a little down, but never once did she consider quitting. One cold autumn morning, Sarah saw something unusual: a young fox standing still by the forest edge. Her heart raced. She quickly took out her camera, adjusted the lens, and moved closer slowly, scared to startle it. The fox didn’t run — it just stood there, looking at her. Sarah’s hands shook a little as she aimed, imagining the pretty photo of its red fur against the golden autumn trees. Then she looked through the camera and noticed its front paw was lifted, body tense. She zoomed in and gasped — its paw was hurt, maybe stuck in a trap. The fox wasn’t waiting for a photo; it was in pain. Sarah’s excitement faded to worry. Her photographer’s instinct told her to shoot the perfect photo, but a stronger feeling said to help the poor little fox instead. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段开头语已为你写好。 Slowly and gently, Sarah approached the fox. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It wasn’t long before the rescue team arrived. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高二英语试卷 第 1 页 共 10 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $2025-2026学年第二学期高二期末质量检测 英语试卷答案 本试卷共8页，47小题，满分120分。考试用时120分钟 2 3 5 6 1 8 0 10 B 叉 C D D C B B C C 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 B B C 0 C D C G Y B 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 A B 0 0 D B 0 C A D 31 32 33 34 35 A C A B D 36.transformation 37.has been encouraging/has encouraged 38.themselves 39.but 40.creating 41.the 42.through/on 43.whose 44.sustainable 45.to grow 46.例文Good morning,everyone!

However,the other boy who only got 69 wears a big smile and feels satisfied with his progress. From my perspective,we should view scores reasonably.High marks do not always mean perfect ability,while low scores are just reminders for improvement.Instead of being troubled by small mistakes or feeling content easily,we should focus on analyzing weaknesses and making steady progress step by step Thank you! 47.Slowly and gently,Sarah approached the fox.Trembling slightly,she kept her footsteps light,fearing that any sudden movement would scare the poor creature.With her heart pounding so hard it felt like it might leap out of her chest,she whispered to herself,"Calm down,Sarah.It needs your help."Taking a deep breath,she held out her hand to show she meant no harm.The fox stared at her,its eyes wide with fear,but didn't run.Sarah noticed a small,rusted trap biting into its front paw,blood matting the red fur.She said in a comforting voice,"I'm here to help you, little one,and reached into her bag for her phone to call the animal rescue team. It wasn't long before the rescue team arrived.Catching a glimmer of hope,Sarah smiled, "Help's here,little friend.You'll be okay now."The team rushed over with medical supplies Using special tools,they carefully forced the trap open.Sarah anxiously watched,holding her breath,as they cleaned the wound and wrapped it in a soft bandage.Never in her wildest dreams had she thought a chance encounter could make her feel so deeply connected to a creature she'd just met.Sarah felt a warmth in her chest,happier than she'd ever been after taking a photo.20252026学年第二学期高二期末质量检测 英语试卷 本试卷共8页，47小题，满分120分。考试用时120分钟 1.答题前，考生请务必用黑色字迹钢笔或签字笔将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 用2B铅笔将试卷类型(A)填涂在答题卡相应位置上。将条形码横贴在答题卡右上角“条形码 粘贴处”。 2.作答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目选项的答案信息点 涂黑；如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案，答案不能答在试卷上。 3.非选择题必须用黑色字迹钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内相 应位置上：如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案：不准使用铅笔和涂改液。不按 以上要求作答的答案无效。 4.考生必须保持答题卡的整洁。考试结束后，将试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分阅读供两节，满分0分) 第一节（共15小题：每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Y Clean Energy:The Future Is Here Nearly a century ago,Thomas Edison envisioned using the sun's boundless energy.Today, that vision is a reality."Clean energy"covers various technologies-here are five ways to use virtually limitless power sources.

These new AI at tools are all trained in similar ways-using massive collections of pictures with matching descriptions.The programs begin to create new images with a random pattern of dots.Step by step,they use their training to change the pattern until pats of the image begin to match the description. However,artists are upset that they're now competing against computers for attention, prizes and jobs.It's hard for a single artist to compete against all the art and photography appearing on the Internet.The images and descriptions used to train these AI programs were taken from the Internet,therefore,the tools can produce images that aren't appropriate.Yet,what concerned the artists most was that the training images were used without permission,causing questions whether what these tools are doing is fair or legal.Once created,an artwork is protected by copyright.The creators of the training pictures-the photographers,the artists,and even the people in the pictures-haven't given permission for their images to be used. 12.How do AI art programs like Dall-E2 create artworks? A.By changing photos taken by users.B.By using short descriptions as a basis.

Every weekend,she'd pack her bag with her father's old camera,extra batteries,and hike an hour to the nearby forest.But after months of patient waiting she still had no perfect shot- deer would run away at the creak of her boots,birds would dart off before she could twist the focus ring and even squirrels seemed to sense her camera lens and vanish.She'd sit on her favorite oak stump at dusk,staring at her camera screen,feeling a little down,but never once did she consider quitting. One cold autumn morning Sarah saw something unusual:a young fox standing still by the forest edge.Her heart raced.She quickly took out her camera adjusted the lens,and moved closer 高二英语试卷第7页共8页 slowly,scared to startle it.The fox didn't run-it just stood there,looking at her.Sarah's hands shook a little as she aimed,imagining the pretty photo of its red fur against the golden autumn trees. Then she looked through the camnera and noticed its front paw was lifted,body tense.She zoomed in and gasped-its paw was hurt,maybe stuck in a trap.The fox wasn't waiting for a photo;it was in pain.Sarah's excitement faded to worry.Her photographer's instinct told her to shoot the perfect photo,but a stronger feeling said to help the poor little fox instead. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数为150左右： 2.续写部分分为两段，每段开头语己为你写好。 Slowly and gently,Sarah approached the fox It wasn't long before the rescue team arrived. 高二英语试卷第8页共8页
