B Like a lot of Canadians, Andrew Suboch grew up knowing little about Canada’s national game — lacrosse (曲棍球), other than watching some neighbours pass a ball using old wooden sticks. It was only when his two children started playing the game as part of their training for hockey (冰球) that he took much notice. His son, Jack, went on to excel at lacrosse and he now plays for the Vancouver Warriors of the National Lacrosse League. Both children came up through the Mimico Minor Lacrosse organization, in the Toronto area, which has been around since 1890. When the number of players in the kids’ league began falling in 2014, Mr. Suboch, who is a personal injury lawyer in Toronto, volunteered to step in. He offered to sponsor the “Baby Peanut” program, which introduced children ages 3 and 4 to the game. Thanks to his sponsorship, more than 100 children play for free each spring for eight weeks. They spend an hour every Saturday learning the game and every player is given a lightweight stick and a shirt. “They are taught to catch, throw, pass and shoot in a non-contact environment,” he said. “You get them running around. Get them away from the screen. It is our national game, so you get them exposed. And sure enough, they caught on.” To fund the program, Mr. Suboch came up with a novel idea. He started searching his neighbourhood for used appliances, metal and electronic items, such as computers and cellphones. He sorted the material and sold it to a local recycling centre. “Word has gotten out, so people now will give me their used electronics and metal stuff,” he said. The recycling effort raises around $20,000 annually, which covers the cost of the lacrosse program. Mr. Suboch said watching the kids play has given him a lot of satisfaction and joy. Not only is far less junk going to landfill sites, he said, but “we’ve also got kids who are not in front of a screen.” 24. Why did Andrew start sponsoring the “Baby Peanut” program? A. His son asked him to support the game. B. The kids’ league faced declining participation. C. He wanted to promote his own law firm. D. He hoped to popularize a hockey organization. 25. What does the underlined phrase “caught on” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Learned the rules. B. Got injured. C. Attracted donations. D. Became interested. 26. How did Andrew obtain funds for the lacrosse program? A. By organizing charity matches. B. By collecting and selling used items. C. By charging participation fees. D. By raising money from the community. 27. What can we learn about the program’s impact? A. It reduced screen time for children. B. It increased waste sent to landfills. C. It made lacrosse popular worldwide. D. It created jobs for the local residents. C Rogues (疯狗浪), called “extreme storm waves” by scientists, are large, unexpected, and dangerous waves that are at least twice as high as the other waves around them, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). These abnormal waves, which happen every day and all over the world, are highly ①unpredictable and can destroy ships that meet with them. Rogue waves appear to form when large rough waves pass through one another, combining to form huge walls of water, according to NOAA. However, why and where they appear is unclear. But using 700 years’ worth of ocean data including historical records and data from buoys (浮标) in 158 locations around the world, researchers have now created a system for predicting these “huge beasts”. “They are caused by a combination of many factors that, until now, have not been combined into a single risk assessment,” said lead author Dion Häfner. Häfner and his co-workers mapped the factors that may lead to rogue waves and used AI to make a single model that could determine the ②likelihood that a rogue wave will form. The team trained a neural network using historical wave data. This generated a system that learned the causes of rogue waves by itself and could work to predict them. But the AI’s methods were hidden in a black box. This means scientists couldn’t know how the AI did its workings. So Häfner’s team applied another form of machine learning, which produced an equation when fed data, rather than just a single prediction, helping the researchers to understand how the AI reached its predictions. “Our analysis demonstrates that abnormal waves occur all the time. In fact, we ③registered 100,000 waves in our data set that can be defined as rogue waves,” Häfner said. This system effectively shows the sign of a rogue wave, Häfner added, and can better protect ships from being destroyed as they sail around the world. Ship companies can use the device with the system to predict when and where rogue waves might arise to seek an alternative course. 28. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By using an example. B. By giving a definition. C. By drawing a classification. D. By making an assumption. 29. What can the system do according to paragraph 2? A. Monitor huge sea creatures. B. Guide ships around in the sea. C. Prevent rouge waves from occurring. D. Forecast the hitting of rogue waves. 30. What is the disadvantage of the AI’s methods? A. They aren’t visually available. B. They depend on too many factors. C. They make inaccurate predictions. D. They don’t process data systematically. 31. What does Häfner think of the system? A. It requires more field tests. B. It has been widely used. C. It needs further improvement. D. It has a promising future. D One person’s trash might be another person’s jet fuel (燃料)? It sounds strange, but researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign believe that they’ve figured out a process to make this a reality — at least on a small scale. This week, in Nature Communications, the agricultural engineers shared a strategy for taking food waste, turning it into biofuel, and then “upgrading” that fuel into jet fuel that can go straight into a plane without requiring any additives or mixing with fossil (化石) fuels. They compared their novel fuel against industry standards and found that it met all the requirements for conventional jet fuel. “In traditional economic model, we make things, use them, then throw them away,” said Professor Yuanhui Zhang, a lead author of the study. “In this project, we take the waste and recover the energy and materials to make a usable product. This fills a gap in the recycling economy.” The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency says transport accounted for about 29% of greenhouse gas emissions (排放) in the U. S. in 2022. Commercial planes made up 7% of that. Cars have cut emissions lately thanks to electric power. But electric planes only work for short flights — they don’t have enough energy for long trips (jet fuel has 50 times more energy per kilogram than lithium-ion batteries). So planes are left behind in cutting emissions. Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), made from organic materials, could reduce flight emissions by up to 80% compared to conventional jet fuel. But SAF for planes is hard to make — because its chemical composition doesn’t meet strict requirements for jet fuel. That’s where food waste helps: the team collected local food waste and copied the Earth’s natural oil-forming process to make crude oil (原油). Then, they removed salt, ash, water, and gas to turn this crude oil into jet fuel. Right now, this is just a test to show the idea works. But it gives hope: we have lots of food waste, and this could help airlines reach their big goal — net-zero carbon emissions in three decades. 32. What can we learn about the food-waste fuel? A. It’s suitable for plane use. B. It’s easy to mass-produce. C. It’s directly turned from biofuel. D. It’s cheaper than traditional fuels. 33. What does Professor Yuanhui Zhang think of the project? A. It simplifies energy production. B. It shapes future economic model. C. It rejects traditional economy entirely. D. It contributes to recycling practices. 34. What does paragraph 4 mainly focus on? A. How electric cars are environmental. B. How to reduce transport emissions. C. Why planes cut emissions slowly. D. Why jet fuel consumes more energy. 35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The food-waste jet fuel is widely used now. B. Food waste may help airlines’ emission goals. C. Food waste is the best raw material for jet fuel. D. Net-zero carbon emissions will be achieved soon. 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。 Everyone has experienced a range of emotions: both positive and negative. Unfortunately, people wish to control their emotions but end up being controlled by the same emotions. Someone might get upset, nervous and end up causing more self-destruction or harm. 36 For instance, feeling angry is one that something wrong is happening. Below we’ll explore how to control your emotions. Acknowledge your emotions. The first step in dealing with your emotions is to acknowledge your current feelings about the situation. 37 It’s essential to understand if you’re overreacting to a problem so that you can take steps to start the emotion management process. Acknowledging your feelings will help you understand what you’re dealing with right now to get the best outcomes. 38 Sometimes, your emotions can come from factors like life hardships, stress, being alone, or even not getting enough deep sleep. All these factors have a direct link with human emotions. Therefore, it’s essential to practice self-care ideas as a priority for your overall well-being. For instance, having right-brain activities like drawing, playing music, or other activities can also help silence negative thoughts. Give yourself space. Although being alone too often isn’t a good idea for people trying to manage their emotions, it’s helpful for others. Therefore, you should also give yourself some space sometimes. 39 Giving yourself space also means that you’ll have enough time for conceptualizing your actual feelings and start the process of trying to manage them slowly. These positive ways to control your emotions can help you get unstuck from your problems. It’s crucial to remember that negative emotions are meant to spotlight issues, not to destroy you. 40 A. Emotions are like warning signs. B. Control your emotions with self-care. C. Talk about your emotions with a friend. D. So, use them as signs to find problems to fix. E. Remember, you can’t manage what you don’t know. F. You’ll learn how to stay with certain feelings without fear. G. This way you’ll sort out your feelings undisturbed until you feel better. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每题1分，满分15分） 阅读下列短文，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。 “Believe in yourself, and there will come a day when others will have no choice but to believe with you.” — Cynthia Kersey Enur Pakashtica has been a (n) 41 to the young generation as he has developed 42 over the years to push his limits.

Twelve-year-old Mia felt sweat dropping down her back as she arranged the freshly made lemonade (柠檬水) on her folding table. She’d made the chalk drawings that morning: pink hearts and blue skateboards. Her big poster swung desperately in the hot wind: Lemonade 50 cents — Save for Skateboard! “Business slow, eh?” Mr. Rossi’s voice carried flour-dusted kindness from his grocery store doorway. And the smell of freshly baked bread followed him. Mia nodded, smoothing seven sweaty coins on the table. As they were talking, a silver car stopped by. A businessman in a nice suit stepped out, phone glued to his ear. “I said I would be there soon!” He seemed to be in a hurry. Grabbing a bottle of lemonade, he put a $20 bill onto the table. “Keep the change!” Mia was surprised. “No, sir. But…” Hurriedly, she counted out $19.50. “Here’s your change, sir.” “Keep it. Consider it a tip.” The businessman said with a gentle smile. “No, I can’t. The lemonade’s fifty cents.” Mia insisted. The car door was closed, with only tire (轮胎) marks left on the dirt road. Mia stared at the bill. Twenty dollars. Enough for skateboard wheels! Her fingers brushed through the cash box. “Wow, good luck.” Mr. Rossi said and went back to his grocery store. “But my mom used to say, money weighs heavy in dishonest pockets.” Mia whispered. As she was about to put away the money, she spotted something under the maple tree — a black leather wallet sticking out through dead leaves. Mia’s fingers shook as she opened it. Credit cards. A driver’s license. And a hundred-dollar bill. Her skateboard fund screamed in her ears, but Mom’s voice shouted louder. Mia could feel the wallet was heavy and realized the owner would be very worried. Without any hesitation, Mia went to Mr. Rossi for help. Looking through the contents of the wallet, Mr. Rossi said the owner would surely return and look for it. So maybe the best choice was to wait. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Mia waited at her lemonade stand until darkness fell. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ The businessman promised to buy Mia a skateboard. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025级高二年级第一学期期始考试试题 高二英语答案 第一部分 听力答案 1-5 CBCAC 6-10 ACABC 11-15 ABABC 16-20 BACBB 第二部分 阅读理解 21.

He glanced inside, and clearly relieved that everything was still there. Mia simply told him she had found it by the maple tree. The businessman promised to buy Mia a skateboard. However, Mia hesitated for a moment and then politely declined. She explained that saving up for it by herself made the goal more meaningful. Instead, she offered him another bottle of lemonade — this time chilled with extra ice. The man smiled and paid the proper amount before driving off.
