B Whenever it comes to holidays, my mother makes fun of my sister and me about how we “make out like robbers (强盗)”. She is pointing to the fact that we are half Jewish and half Indian, so we receive gifts on both the festivals of lights, Hanukkah and Diwali. Though my mother makes jokes about us, I do not mind getting two sets of gifts! Hanukkah is celebrated on the 25th day of the Jewish month, which is usually sometime in December. On Hanukkah, like most Jewish families, we light some candles and say a prayer (祈祷) each night. We also say a special prayer on the first night. After that, it is a tradition for my sister and me to do “hot and cold” for our hidden Hanukkah gifts. When we walk towards the gift, our parents say “hot” and when we walk farther away, they say “cold”. We each receive one present every night of Hanukkah. Another part I like about this holiday is seeing family members who we do not see often. My aunt usually stays for a few days, and we sometimes visit other relatives. Diwali is celebrated on the 13th day of the dark fortnight of the month of Ashwin (October / November). To celebrate Diwali, my family does prayers in honor of the goddess Lakshmi. Since she is the goddess of wealth and prosperity (繁荣), the prayers include washing silver coins in milk and water. In India, people decorate their houses with lamps, similar to the way you might light up your house for Christmas. My family just place a few candles outside. We also set off firecrackers, which is my favorite part. We often do this activity with friends to add to the excitement. Both holidays have different histories and stories. We celebrate them in different ways, yet they both have the same meaning. They both translate into Festival of Lights, and they both mean family and presents for me! 24. Why does the author receive gifts on both Hanukkah and Diwali? A. She lives in a wealthy family. B. She lives in two different countries. C. Her parents like celebrating their different cultures. D. Her parents like spending money buying gifts for her. 25. What do the author and her sister follow as a tradition on Hanukkah? A. Playing a game to find gifts. B. Lighting candles all day long. C. Praying together with relatives. D. Getting two presents every night. 26. What do Hanukkah and Diwali have in common? A. They share the same history. B. They are both celebrated in December. C. They get the families to do their prayers. D. They are both connected to the birth of lights. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. How Jewish Festivals Develop B. Indian Traditional Holiday Activities C. Traditional Prayers in Jewish Families D. Different Celebrations, Same Holiday Meaning C Listening to music is considered a good thing for adults. Indeed it is. Scientific studies have proved it. Music has so many good effects on our body, mind and mood that this world will certainly not be a good place without music. Then, is music good for children? Some parents think so and let their children learn or listen to music. But some parents don’t know the importance of music to children. Here are some reasons why music is important to children. First, music is good for children’s intelligence. Studies have proved that children who learn music are likely to have higher intelligence than those who have no interest in or dislike music. This is because the brain gets stimulated (刺激) by the rhythm and tone of music. Music also has a soothing (抚慰的) effect on children and helps remove their stress. Today’s children are under a lot of stress from schoolwork. Being under too much stress impairs children’s health. Luckily, listening to music can help them feel better. Music can improve children’s moods. Some children are sad by nature. They seem to be lost in their own thoughts and don’t take interest in their surroundings. In such cases, a method known as “music therapy (治疗)” comes to their rescue. It changes their moods and places a new kind of spirit in them. Music is also a universal language that children ought to learn. Our world has become a global village. People are getting more and more interested in other cultures and countries. Music can help them understand foreign cultures. Now we can say that music is very important not only to adults but also to children. So children should be encouraged to learn music or listen to music. 28. What are parents’ opinions on music for children according to paragraph 1? A. All parents encourage kids to listen to music. B. Not all parents realize music’s importance to children. C. No parents allow their kids to learn music. D. Most parents know little about music. 29. Why can music improve kids’ intelligence? A. It makes kids love studying all the time. B. It stimulates kids’ brain through rhythm and tone. C. It helps kids get rid of stress quickly. D. It lets kids understand different cultures. 30. What does the underlined word “impairs” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Harms. B. Shows. C. Keeps. D. Protects. 31. What is the main idea of the whole passage? A. Different kinds of music in the world. B. Reasons why music is important to children. C. How parents choose music for kids. D. The history of music therapy. D Unlike relay (接力) runners who pass a stick in one direction, businessmen traveling the Silk Road moved goods like silk, gold, fruit, and glass in various directions. This famous trade route (路线) was where they earned their living. Far more than a simple trading network, the Silk Road passed through thousands of cities and towns. It started from eastern China, across Central Asia and the Middle East, and ended in the Mediterranean Sea. It was used from about 200 BC to about 1300 AD, when sea travel offered new routes, providing more convenience. It was sometimes called the world’s longest highway. However, the Silk Road was made up of many routes, not one smooth path. They passed through what are now 18 countries. The routes crossed mountains and deserts and had many dangers of hot sun, deep snow and even battles. Only experienced traders could return safe. The Silk Road got its name from its most prized product. Silk could be used like money to pay taxes or buy goods. However, the Silk Road facilitated (促进) the exchange of many other significant goods. European gold, silver, and glass reached the Middle East and Asia, while horses traded from other areas changed farming practices in China. Indian businessmen traded salt and other valuable goods. Chinese businessmen traded paper, which produced an immediate effect on the West. Apples traveled from central Asia to Rome. The Chinese had learned to graft (嫁接) different trees together to make new kinds of fruit. They passed this science on to others, including the Romans. The Romans used grafting to grow the apple. Trading along the Silk Road led to world-wide business 2, 000 years before the World Wide Web. The people along the Silk Road did not share just goods. They also shared their beliefs. The Silk Road provided pathways for learning, diplomacy (外交), and religion. 32. Why did the Silk Road become less important? A. Because people needed fewer foreign goods. B. Because sea travel provided easier routes. C. Because silk trading became less popular. D. Because it was made up of various routes. 33. What did traders probably need to do along the Silk Road? A. Deal with a lot of difficulties. B. Receive certain special training. C. Know the making of products. D. Remember the entire trade route. 34. Why did new technologies could travel along the Silk Road? A. Because people traded goods along the route. B. Because people earned their living by traveling. C. Because people learned from one another. D. Because people shared each other’s beliefs. 35. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Silk was the most prized product. B. The Silk Road led to world-wide business. C. People traded many goods along the route. D. The Silk Road used to be the world’s longest highway. 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。 A “digital footprint” is basically your entire online presence. It refers to all of the information, posts, pictures, and data you put online. 36 This could be a problem, like if your boss sees improper social media posts or a thief finds your banking information. Luckily, it only takes a few simple steps to present a positive image online. 37 You have to know exactly what your digital footprint is to manage it well. Search for yourself on different search engines to see the overall impression you have left online. Make a list of anything questionable or unprofessional that you’d like to get rid of or improve. Erase (擦掉) anything that doesn’t show you well. You might find some unprofessional posts when you search for yourself. 38 As a result, it could hurt you in your personal and professional life. Delete all of this as soon as possible. This way, people like bosses or employers won’t see them. Share achievements and information that you’re proud of. 39 If you’ve had any important or outstanding professional or personal achievements, published articles, attended conferences, or improved yourself, share that on social media. You’ll quickly develop a positive online presence. Delete cookies (缓存文件) every few months to clear tracking data. Cookies are used to track your search data for specific sites. This is supposed to make your web experience more convenient because sites will remember you. However, they could also store your personal information. 40 A. Search for yourself online to see what comes up. B. It means that these posts can be viewed by anyone. C. Protect and strengthen your identity to get professional. D. It is a great way to keep your online image professional. E. So get into the habit of clearing your cookies every few months. F. Every time you search for something online, your image is stored. G. The more information you put online, the more people can learn about you. 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。 A Life-or-Death Rescue A quick run along the Charles River turned into a life-or-death rescue caught on camera when a Boston man jumped into the icy water to save his beloved dog.

Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分 25 分） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 The four mountain climbers were still breathing heavily as they looked out into the distance. The views from the top of the mountain were breathtaking. In all directions, valleys, forests and other mountains were laid out before them. They could even see the small wooden houses of the village where they had spent the night and the route they had taken to reach the top of this small but dangerous mountain. Laughing loudly, they were surprised at their courage in climbing such a steep and rocky mountain slope. Filled with an enormous (巨大的) sense of achievement, the four young climbers patted each other on the back. As the other three continued to enjoy the views, Jason, the leader of the group, stared at the horizon with a troubled look on his face. “What is it, Jason?” Sofia, the youngest of the group, asked. “Those dark clouds in the distance mean a heavy storm is fast on the way,” Jason replied. He remembered the villagers had warned him of the unpredictable weather conditions on top of the mountain and that a terrible storm could appear from nowhere. “But it’s so warm and sunny here. I don’t think the storm is coming this way,” Sofia said, more in hope than expectation. However, Jason feared the worst and knew only too well what would happen if the storm caught them in the open. He addressed the group in a calm but serious tone, “If the storm hits us, the temperature will fall dramatically. The rain and mist (水汽) will make it difficult for us to see where we are going and we could easily get lost or fall off a cliff (悬崖). The wind will take our strength, so we need to get moving fast.” The four mountain climbers packed up their facilities and immediately started back down the mountain. Unfortunately, despite their best efforts, the storm was upon them sooner than expected. The wind screamed in their ears, the driving rain stung (刺痛) their eyes and the mist made it impossible for them to see clearly. 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。 With it getting dark, Jason decided that it was just too dangerous to continue. Finally, the storm showed signs of stopping and the climbers stepped out of the shelter. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025 — 2026学年高一年级下学期期末考试 英语·参考答案、提示及评分细则 第一部分 听力 1 ~ 5 CBABA 6 ~ 10 ACBBA 11 ~ 15 BCABC 16 ~ 20 CBACB 第二部分 阅读 第一节 A 21.

I prefer adding one more PE lesson every week rather than 10 minutes of daily exercise. Firstly, a full PE class allows us to take part in team sports and cooperate with classmates. It helps improve our teamwork and communication skills, which short daily exercise can hardly achieve. Moreover, we can receive systematic training and relax thoroughly in class. In contrast, ten minutes is too short for meaningful sports activities. In short, one extra PE class every week is more beneficial to us students. Yours, Li Hua 第二节 With it getting dark, Jason decided that it was just too dangerous to continue. He gathered the group in the shelter of a large rock, where he noticed that the other three were frightened and looking to him for a way out. Pushed by responsibility and pressure of leadership, Jason, shouting against the wind, explained that the safest thing for the moment was taking shelter from the pouring rain. They had expected that the storm would pass very soon. However, as darkness settled over them, the shower swept in. How time dragged! Finally, the storm showed signs of stopping and the climbers stepped out of the shelter. Unbearably cold and hungry, they felt their way downward with great difficulty, eager for a miracle. Suddenly, something caught Jason’s eye. Was it a flash of light? There it was again… and another! In response, Jason immediately flashed his torch, exclaiming, “Over here! We are here!” His companions joined in. Rescue eventually arrived. Seeing the climbers, all the searching villagers breathed a sigh of relief and lovingly helped them return to the village. You see, weather changes but love remains. 听力部分录音材料 Text 1 W: You made this coat? It looks like it’s from a store! M: Thanks! I love drawing designs and making them into clothes. W: Have you ever thought about selling the clothes you design? Text 2 W: I’m going into town before I pick the kids up from school. I’ve just received a text to say my new glasses are ready. Do I need to grab any groceries while I’m there? M: No, we’ve got everything we need. Text 3 W: Anything else you’re looking for? M: Just another ruler, please. And this black pen works perfectly for note-taking. W: Glad you like it! We have rulers in different sizes. Text 4 M: How can I get to your place from the airport? W: Catch the subway into the city, and I’ll pick you up. Or the No. 34 bus brings you almost to my front door. M: I’ll do that. You don’t need to drive during rush hour. Text 5 M: Is life easier nowadays, Mum? W: It’s less tiring, but more stressful. My mother washed clothes by hand. It was hard, physical work. But she didn’t have to do hundreds of things at once with “helpful” technology. Text 6 M: Wait, are you crying? W: I can’t help it! The characters were just so lovely, and they went through so much to reach their happy ending… M: If you’re like this over the book, I’m not sure you’d survive watching the TV series! W: Oh, movies and TV series never have the same impact on me as the written word. M: No? W: You can’t get inside the characters’ heads in the same way. I never feel as close to them. Text 7 M: That’s an amazing watch. W: Thanks! It belonged to my grandmother. She was such a character! M: Oh? W: Yes. Even if she was just relaxing in the garden, she was always perfectly dressed. Like an old Hollywood movie star! And she had the most wonderful shoes. If only my feet weren’t one size too big! M: What happened to them? W: My sister has them. She also has size 6 feet! But I received most of Granny’s old books. It’s wonderful to have something to remember her by. Text 8 M: What time did our teacher say to be back at the bus? W: 3:30 p.m. So, an hour and a half from now. M: We’d better hurry then! There’s still the whole top floor to see. W: What’s up there? M: The cinema, for one thing. They’re showing a movie about stars and planets. There’s also the Early Man exhibition. But I’ve seen that before. W: Yeah, me too. Oh, look! There’s an expert talk starting in five minutes. Dinosaurs, Re-imagined… I wonder what that’s about. M: Probably all these modern theories about the way dinosaurs really looked. W: Oh, interesting! Shall we check that out right now? M: Okay! W: Hopefully, it doesn’t last too long, so we can still catch the movie upstairs. Text 9 M: I don’t know what to order! W: Honestly, everything tastes amazing here, especially the desserts. It’s one of the best Italian places in the city. M: But I’d heard meal sizes were bigger here than back home. Look, a whole 14-inch pizza as a starter? That’s crazy! W: What? Oh, no. You’re looking at the main meals. The first courses are listed above main dishes. M: But it says Entrées here. Doesn’t the word entrée mean “beginning”? W: I know. I studied French at college. But in the U. S. it’s used to refer to the main course. M: How interesting! Well, I think I’ll go for the fish soup followed by a burger. You? W: I’ll have the same as you for my entree. And I will also have the tomato salad. M: Great choice! After eating, let’s take a walk to enjoy the evening. W: Sounds lovely — there’s a park nearby we can check out! Text 10 Koko was a famous gorilla (大猩猩). Her keepers taught her American Sign Language from a young age. Eventually, Koko knew over 2,000 signs. She used these to not only communicate basic wants and needs, but also her feelings and thoughts about the world. One day, Koko was given a cat book to look at. Soon after, she expressed a desire for her own cat. Her keepers tried a soft toy, but Koko wasn’t satisfied. So, for her birthday, she was allowed to choose a real pet from a group of newborn cats. Koko called the little grey cat “All Ball” because he liked sleeping all curled up (蜷缩) like a ball! She held All Ball gently, played with him, and signed “soft” “love” and “my baby”. Later, Koko had two more pet cats: Lipstick and Smoky. She always cared for them with love. Koko not only proved her intelligence but also showed the world that animals can feel deep love. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
