Skilled at putting up shelves and piecing together furniture, she never pays someone else to do a job she can do herself. She credits these skills to her late grandfather and builder Derek Lloyd. From the age of six, Terri, now 26, accompanied Derek to work during her school holidays. A day’s work was rewarded with £5 in pocket money. She says:“I’m sure I wasn’t much of a help to start with. But when Derek built our family house about eight years ago, I was heavily involved, painting the rooms and putting down the flooring throughout the house. It took weeks and it was back-breaking work, but I know he was proud of my skills.” Terri, who now rents a house with friends in Wandsworth, South West London, says DIY also saves her from losing any deposit when a tenancy (租期) comes to an end. She adds:“I’ve moved house many times and I always like to personalize my room and put up pictures. So, it’s been useful to know how to cover up holes and repaint a room to avoid any charges when I’ve moved out.” With millions of people likely to take on DIY projects over the coming weeks, new research shows that more than half of people are planning to make the most of the long, warm summer days to get jobs done. The average spend per project will be around £823. Two thirds of people aim to improve their comfort while at home. A fifth wish to increase the value of their houses. Though DIY has traditionally been seen as a male hobby, the research shows it is women now leading the charge. 24.Which is closest in meaning to“a dab hand”in paragraph 1? A. A realist. B. A specialist. C. An engineer. D. A pioneer. 25.Why did Terri’s grandfather give her £5 a day? A. For a birthday gift. B. As a reward for her work. C. To support her DIY projects. D. To encourage her to take up a hobby. 26. How did Terri avoid losing the deposit on the house she rented? A. By making it look like before. B. By furnishing it herself. C. By splitting the rent with a roommate. D. By canceling the rental agreement. 27. What trend in DIY does the research show? A. It is becoming more costly. B. It is getting more time-consuming. C. It is gaining popularity among females. D. It is turning into a seasonal industry. C Brands have spent years perfecting video marketing strategies. Nearly 78% of consumers trust videos with real people, according to research from video creation platform Animoto. That preference holds as AI video tools flood the market and brands race to create more content faster. The finding comes from Animoto’s State of Video 2026 report, based on a survey of 460 American consumers and marketers. As AI generates full videos from text prompts (提示), the truth remains: People still want to see other people. The preference for human faces isn’t just about aesthetics (美学). More than 82% of consumers report watching videos that they believe were AI-generated, and among that group, 36% say it lowers their trust in the brand behind it. This creates a problem with the numbers for marketers. Even if AI tools can help produce videos faster, the resulting content may raise doubt that destroys the entire purpose of making the video in the first place. Separate research cited in the report found that 88% of consumers consider brand trust as important as price and quality when making purchases.Three-quarters of US adults think it’s extremely or very important to know whether images, videos, or text were created by AI or people. This trust loss appears regardless of whether audiences correctly identify AI content. The survey showed that consumers believe they can spot AI-generated videos based on“an entire set of signals”and contextual mismatches, according to respondent Olga Mirkovic. Whether they’re right doesn’t matter. Perception alone affects how they view the brand. Surveyed marketing professionals aren’t trying to remove humans from their videos. Despite pressure to produce more content faster, marketers still want control over which footage to use, how to present their brand voice, and when to put themselves on camera. Roya Safarian, a survey respondent, explained the balance: “AI can enhance storytelling as long as the brand still keeps a human touch. The key is balance: technology should support the message, not replace the genuine voice behind it.” 28.What is the most effective trust-building video marketing strategy? A. Making videos featuring real people. B. Using AI to generate videos quickly. C. Updating video production fashion. D. Producing true video content faster. 29. In what circumstances does the trust loss occur? A. When video aesthetics are poor. B. When video production speeds up. C. When AI content is perceived. D. When brand trust is compared to price. 30. What do marketing professionals suggest AI be used for in video-making? A. Generating videos automatically. B. Aiding in content creation as a tool. C. Controlling brand voice directly. D. Replacing human presenters entirely. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Contrasting AI and Human-made Videos B. Building Consumer Trust with AI Videos C. Facing Trust Crisis in AI-generated Videos D. Balancing Technology and Humanity in Videos D Despite decades of medical advances, detecting health-related molecules (分子) still relies on bodily liquids like blood, requiring blood draws from most patients, especially people with diabetes who need frequent finger pricks. However, researchers from the University of Chicago have developed a portable device named ABLE, which collects and detects molecules in the air. This 4×8-inch device is a potential game-changer for medicine and public health. Detecting molecules in the air has long fallen behind liquid detection, mainly because target particles (微粒) are extremely dilute (冲淡) —there may be only one in a trillion.To solve this problem, the team turned air into liquid.The device draws in air, adds water vapor with a humidifier, and cools it to turn air into small drops. These drops trap particles and slide into a small container, making detection easy with common tools used for liquid analysis. Early tests proved its effectiveness. It caught easily evaporated (挥发的) coffee vapor, detected glucose in breath, identified E.coli in the air, and found signs of inflammation(炎症)in mice with unhealthy gut bacteria. Obviously, it solved the problem of capturing molecules that evaporate easily—a major worry during the device’s development. The device was first inspired by the need for non-invasive tests for premature babies in ICUs. These fragile babies are likely to have health problems, and repeated blood tests may put them in danger. Doctors hope the device can track health signs without taking blood, protecting these high-risk patients. It also shows promise for diagnosing inflammatory bowel disease (炎症性肠病), though the related breath signs first need to be recorded.The team plans to improve and make it smaller to create a wearable device for daily use. Besides medical uses, this achievement may open the door to new physics research on air impurities and state changes of matter. As a new tool for detecting air chemistry, ABLE fills the space between air and liquid molecule analysis, creating possibilities for various new developments in healthcare and science. 32. Why did the researchers develop ABLE? A. To change medicine and public health. B. To take the place of blood tests in hospitals. C. To reduce finger pricks for patients with diabetes. D. To identify health molecules without liquid samples. 33. What can we infer about ABLE? A. It is small and wearable for daily use. B. It has overcome a key technical challenge. C. It has proved useful for newly born babies. D. It diagnoses inflammatory bowel disease easily. 34. Who will least likely benefit from ABLE? A. A chemist. B. A psychologist. C. A physician. D. A physicist. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Tool for Bodily Liquid Analysis. B. A Tool for Airborne Particle Capture. C. A Device for Air Molecule Detection. D. A Device for Non-Invasive Health Checks. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Eyes Are the Prize To protect our hearts, we control the intake of salt and fat. To keep our bones strong, we work out and consume calcium. To protect our skin, we apply sunscreen. However, what can we do to protect our eyes? 36 ●Spring for some quality shades. “It is very important to protect the eyes from UV light, which has been shown to have a harmful effect on the eyes.”says Esen Akpek, an ophthalmology（眼科）professor at Johns Hopkins University.“Dark glasses aren’t necessarily the most protective. In fact, if the glasses are simply dark but not UV-protected, that’s worse for your eyes. 37 .” ●Take a break from screens. While there’s no scientific evidence that the light from electronic screens damages eyes, staring at a screen can leave eyes extremely tired. One of the reasons is that people tend to blink (眨眼) less during screen use. 38 , The National Institutes of Health recommends taking a break every 20 minutes to look at something about 20 feet away for 20 seconds. ● 39 First, smoking is terrible. It isn’t just bad for your lungs; it can harm eyes too. “Smoking causes dry eyes, harms optic (视觉) nerve and makes eye disease worse,” says Dr. Akpek. Also, try not to rub your eyes.“The more you rub, the more uncomfortable your eyes will get. 40 . Instead, take medication or use drops for allergies or dry eyes.” A. Stop smoking. B. Get rid of bad habits. C. This leads to eye dryness. D. It can lead to infections. E. Here is some advice from experts. F. Do buy expensive sunglasses that you can afford. G. Do buy sunglasses that can block out 99% to 100% UV light. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Ursula has always called the beautiful small town of Beaverton her home.

As their chemistry teacher and class advisor, I watched as our team, led by Tom, the captain, fought hard. Tom’s quick moves and precise passes motivated his teammates. They battled as one, making every play count. The game was intense, with both teams neck and neck. In the final seconds, Tom made a daring drive to the hoop (篮筐), but the opponent scored a last-minute shot. We lost by just one point. The next morning, the classroom was filled with a heavy atmosphere. Tom sat quietly, his head down, still weighed down by the loss. The rest of the class mirrored his mood—silent and withdrawn. It was clear that the defeat had dampened their spirits. I knew I had to do something to lift their spirits and remind them to pay more attention to the process. The first class of the day was chemistry. As I looked at the lesson plan quickly, an idea began to take shape. I quickly prepared the necessary laboratory equipment and walked into the classroom. “Alright, everyone,” I said, trying to get their attention. “I’m going to conduct an experiment, and I want you to observe it carefully. You’ll need to describe what you see afterward.”The room grew a little quieter. Curiosity began to catch on. They turned their attention to me, and I could see a sign of interest in their eyes. I picked up a piece of magnesium ribbon (镁条) and held it with a holder. When I brought it close to the burner fire, the ribbon started to flash. The whole class watched the experiment in amazement, their eyes wide open, focusing on my operation in awe. The magnesium ribbon burned away, leaving behind a soft white powder. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1:“What impressed you most in the experiment?”I asked. Paragraph 2: With my encouragement, Tom opened up and shared more. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 陕西师大附中2025-2026学年度第二学期期中考试 高二年级英语试题参考答案 （满分：150分） 第一部分 听力（共两节，每小题1.5分，满分30分） 1—5.ABBBB 6—10.CBBAA 11—15.CAABC 16—20.ACCCB 第二部分 阅读（共两节，每小题2.5分，满分50分） 21—23.CBA 24—27.BBAC 28—31.ACBD 32—35.DBBC 36—40.EGCBD 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） 41—45.DACCB 46—50.BABDB 51—55.DABCD 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 56.to 57.a 58.were transported 59.appealing 60.where 61.fascinated 62.participants 63.working 64.to share 65.but 第四部分写作（共两节，满分40分） 第1节 应用文(满分15分) （世界水日发言稿） Protect Water Resources, Everyone’s Duty Dear classmates, Water is the source of all life. Without clean water, humans, plants and animals cannot survive. However, water pollution is getting worse. Waste from factories and daily garbage makes rivers dirty, causing illnesses and destroying aquatic life. We must take action. First, never pour rubbish or dirty water into rivers or lakes. Second, reuse water in daily life, such as using washing water to water flowers. Let’s protect water together and pass the idea to people around us! 第二节 读后续写参考范文(满分25分) Paragraph 1:“What impressed you most in the experiment?” I asked. Many students raised their hands. One student said the bright flash caught his eye most. Another pointed out that the magnesium completely vanished and turned into white powder. I smiled and explained to them: Though the bright burning process seemed perfect, magnesium couldn’t stay as it was. It changed into something new after the fierce reaction. Losing the original shape didn’t mean failure; the whole burning experience was the most valuable part. All the boys, including Tom, listened carefully and seemed lost in thought. Paragraph 2:With my encouragement, Tom opened up and shared more. He said he felt terrible about the last-second loss and thought all their training was useless. I told him the basketball match was just like the magnesium burning. Winning is only a small result, but the teamwork, fast reaction and hard training they put in were the real treasure. Tom lifted his head, eyes bright again. He promised he would focus more on progress rather than winning or losing. Seeing the heavy mood fade away, I was glad this small chemistry experiment brought them new wisdom. 听力原文： 第一节（Text 1–Text 5） Text 1 M: Hi, are you also taking Ms. Lee’s chemistry course this semester?
