Here’s a closer look at the most talked-about releases. Dangerous Animals (Thriller, 2025—First released on June 6th) The story follows an Australian boat captain (Jai Courtney) who preys on women, feeding them to sharks while recording the acts.

B In my second year of high school, I had many problems at home. My parents often argued. I could not focus in class. My grades fell to the bottom. I even thought about leaving school. Most teachers were disappointed in me, a “bad boy”, but my English teacher, Ms Hale, was different. She never criticized me. One time, I did not do my homework for three days. She just said, “You can tell me if you have any problems.” One rainy afternoon, she put a notebook into my schoolbag. When I got home, I opened it. She wrote, “I like your last English composition, in which your thoughts were very special. You have a gift for writing. Don’t waste it.” She also put a page of her own reading notes in the notebook. She wrote it when she was in high school. I read those words many times. That night, I finished my English homework carefully. From then on, I carried the notebook with me. Every time I wanted to give up, I read her words. I started to do my homework on time. My English grade rose from below 70 to above 90. My other grades improved as well. After high school, I got a good score on the college entrance exam and chose to study Education. After graduation, I became a middle school English teacher. I tried to be like Ms Hale. I prepared notebooks for my students who felt lost. I wrote down words of encouragement. One of my students was a boy whose parents had divorced. He never did his homework. I wrote in his notebook, “You are smarter than you think.” A week later, he started to do his homework. I believe a teacher’s genuine care can change a student’s life. I know this is true, because that is how I was saved. 24. What can we learn about the author’s home life? A. It lacked basic needs. B. It was full of tension. C. It pushed him to study hard. D. It was financially comfortable. 25. What did Ms Hale do when the author failed to hand in his homework? A. She wrote a letter to him. B. She had a long talk with him. C. She showed concern for him. D. She punished him in a special way. 26. What was inside the notebook Ms Hale gave? A. A list of required readings. B. A model and positive words. C. A page of her views on the author. D. A diary she wrote in high school. 27. What does the author’s teaching career suggest? A. He became stricter than Ms Hale. B. He remembered what he had done. C. He chose a job unrelated to his major. D. He paid forward the kindness he received. C The popular belief holds that garlic has been considered a natural mosquito repellent for centuries. Its spicy smell drives away these insects. Now, that folk wisdom finally has a scientific explanation. A team of researchers at Yale University firstly experimented with 43 fruits and vegetables, looking for natural substances that could affect how pest insects reproduce. They tested these foods on fruit flies, which usually mate on food. The researchers expected some foods might have an effect. But the result was surprising: garlic stopped the flies from mating and laying eggs—while none of the other 42 foods showed any clear effect. To understand why, the team ran two separate experiments—one in which insects could only smell the garlic, and another in which they could both smell and taste it. The results were unambiguous: taste was undoubtedly the factor responsible for shutting down reproductive behavior, not scent. A follow-up study looked deeper into the garlic and found the key substance: Diallyl Disulfide. This substance works on a sensor in the fly’s taste system called TrpA1. This sensor tells the fly to reject food that might be harmful. The study, published in Cell, showed that garlic activates a group of bitter-taste nerve cells. But the effect goes beyond just making the fly avoid the food. It also causes changes in several genes. One of these genes is linked to the feeling of fullness. This means that the garlic substance interferes with how the fly controls its appetite. The researchers concluded that this increased feeling of fullness seems to stop mating and egg-laying, mainly in female flies. The experiments were then copied across other flying insect species. In every case, garlic proved effective at discouraging reproduction. The findings suggest that garlic could serve as a powerful pesticide. 28. What did the researchers find in their first experiment? A. Natural substances could disrupt reproducing. B. Most tested foods affected insect reproduction. C. Fruit flies could be often seen on the tested food. D. Garlic prevented flies from mating and laying eggs. 29. The underlined word “unambiguous” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______. A. Clear. B. Reliable. C. Uncertain. D. Confusing. 30. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Applications in pest control. B. Mechanism of garlic’s effect. C. Examples of genetic changes. D. Significance of these experiments. 31. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of garlic? A. Doubtful. B. Neutral. C. Optimistic. D. Cautious. D For centuries, rivers have been regarded as nature’s highways, allowing fish to migrate freely between breeding grounds and feeding areas. However, that’s not the case—human actions have turned many rivers into broken, dying systems, putting riverine life (河流生物) and our planet’s fragile balance at risk. The Yangtze River’s wild sturgeon (鲟鱼) population is a sad example of this. The wild sturgeon population has sharply dropped by 90% since the 1980s, from about 10,000 in the 1970s to less than 20 in 2017. The Gezhouba Dam, finished in 1988, blocked the sturgeon’s yearly trip to their breeding grounds upstream. A 2023 study by the Chinese Academy of Sciences found that less than 10% of tracked sturgeon could get around the dam, leading to almost no natural reproduction. While we’ve made big progress in protecting land animals—like the Qinghai-Xizang Railway, which built 33 special animal passages to help Tibetan antelopes migrate safely—we’ve done almost nothing to help water animals move freely. “We’ve spent billions of yuan making sure land animals can get around safely, but we still don’t care enough about rivers,” says Professor Li Wei, a leading freshwater ecologist at Peking University. “Fish can’t climb over dams or dig through concrete walls.” The results of this carelessness are huge. When fish can’t move freely, they can’t carry important nutrients from the ocean to upstream areas. This affects everything from the growth of tiny water plants to the birds that depend on river food to live. As climate change makes water scarcer (稀缺的), keeping rivers connected is more important than ever. “We’re not just losing fish—we’re losing the very base of river ecosystems,” warns Dr. Wang Lin, a river conservation expert at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. “To fix this problem, governments, groups and even individuals must work together and focus on building fish-friendly structures, like special ramps and side channels, and make stricter rules to protect river homes.” 32. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By listing historical data. B. By challenging a common belief. C. By comparing different ecosystems. D. By describing a natural phenomenon. 33. What effect did the Gezhouba Dam have on Yangtze sturgeon? A. It reduced their population. B. It ruined the breeding grounds. C. It changed their migration route. D. It lowered water quality upstream. 34. What does Dr. Wang Lin suggest about river ecosystem conservation? A. Making laws is enough. B. Rivers should be protected. C. Joint cooperation is needed. D. River structure should be banned. 35. Which of the following could be the best title? A. Sturgeon: A Dying Creature B. Wildlife Passages: A Success Story C. Dams: Killers of River Ecosystems D. River Connectivity: A Key to Riverine Life 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Touching movies, stressful events at home or work, and even good news like a wedding or a baby might bring on the waterworks. _____36_____ But you might not know that crying can have a big effect on your body and mind-here’s how. · Crying relieves stress. Humans are the only species to weep from emotions, but scientists still don’t know exactly how the physical act of crying is connected to our feelings. _____37_____ Maybe it helps relieve the physical tension of feeling upset. In other words, crying occurs as our body returns from an aroused “fight or flight” state to a calm “rest and digest” state. · _____38_____ You might think that crying would make you feel better if it means your stress is relieved—it does, sometimes. “In surveys about two-thirds of people generally report feeling better after crying,” says Jonathan Rottenberg, a professor at the University of South Florida. In many cases, however, the better mood after having cried is the consequence of receiving emotional support and comfort. · Crying strengthens bonds. When we communicate with others through tears, we are revealing our own vulnerability（脆弱）. “With supportive people, it can create an increased feeling of bonding and connection,” Dr. Orloff says. “You trust the person enough to cry around them.” _____39_____ And this can promote an empathetic response and an emotional connection. · Crying helps us get what we want. Tears can be a way to cause a specific reaction that works in our favor. _____40_____ Even if we don’t mean to control others, our crying may have the result of easing anger and making others feel guilty or more willing to bend to our will. A. Crying boosts mood. B. Crying lets you release emotions in private. C. Sometimes, you just need to let the tears flow. D. Why do we cry when we’re sad (and sometimes happy)? E. Crying is, therefore, a signal that we feel close to someone. F. So, it may take a while before crying makes you feel better. G. Anyone who’s ever cried after getting pulled over for speeding knows that. 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。 Teacher-student relationships are often delicate and complex.

Tiny one-page stories, three-line poems, a whole book of jokes—my small fingers, full of enthusiasm, produced them all. My family was overjoyed at my interest in reading and writing. Every time I read a good book, I’d try to write one of my own. But as a little girl, my stories always hit a dead end after two or three chapters. I just didn’t know how to keep going! I felt totally burned out. One day, my mom noticed I was struggling. Instead of pushing me to write a whole novel, she said, “Why not try short stories?” To cheer me up, she gave me a beautifully carved wooden box. Inside was a fountain pen with a fine nib. She told me, “Focus on what you pour into your words, not the results you chase. The true value lies in the story. ” Following my mom’s advice for a while, I spent hours pouring my thoughts into short stories. I was so excited and couldn’t wait for others to see what I’d written. My family always cheered me on, but people outside our relatives didn’t seem all that interested. My dad looked for a good publisher. But back then, I was told that my writing was still way too childish to be printed. My dad comforted me and promised to try some new ways to help me. As weeks went by, there were no responses. My expectation slowly faded. I started to wonder if it was even worth it. Maybe I should just let my writing go. And I did. For months, my notebook gathered dust. I stopped writing and was just in low spirits. 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。 Paragraph 1: Then one afternoon, my fingers brushed against something while cleaning my desk.____________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2: Excited by the progress, I devoted more to writing online. ________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年高二第二学期 第三次月考 高二英语试题卷 有关说明：（考试时长120分钟，试卷分值120分） 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50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。 A 篇 21-23 21-23：A D D B篇 24‑27 24-27：B C B D C篇 28‑31 28-31：D A B C D篇 32‑35 32-35：B A C D 七选五 36‑40 36-40：C D A E G 第三部分 语言运用 完形填空 41‑55 41-45：B A D B C 46-50：B A D A C 51-55：B C A D D 语法填空 56. showing 57. was honoured 58. recognition 59. countries 60. remarkable 61. a 62. what 63. to understand 64. for 65. is 第四部分 写作 66 应用文参考范文 Dear Mark, I’m sorry to hear that you are addicted to scrolling through short videos, which has caused your grades to drop obviously. Spending too much time on short videos will waste your precious study time and do harm to your concentration. It also robs you of time for rest and exercise. I’d like to offer some practical suggestions. You can set a fixed time limit for short‑video apps. Besides, take up more hobbies such as reading and doing sports to occupy your spare time. Hope you can pull yourself together. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 67 读后续写参考范文 Paragraph 1: Then one afternoon, my fingers brushed against something while cleaning my desk. It was the beautifully carved wooden box mom had given me months before. I slowly opened it, and the fine‑nib fountain pen lay quietly inside. Memories flooded back. I remembered mom’s words — focus on what I pour into my words instead of chasing results. Shame came over me for giving up so easily. I sat down at my desk, took out my dusty notebook and picked up the pen. Once again, I began putting my thoughts down on paper. I wrote several short stories and decided to share them online. Paragraph 2: Excited by the progress, I devoted more to writing online. I kept practising every day, pouring my true feelings into each story. Gradually, my works won many positive comments from readers. Those warm replies cheered me up greatly whenever I ran into writing barriers. I no longer cared whether I could get published. What really mattered was the joy I gained from creating. I felt thankful for mom’s precious box, which lit up my passion for writing once more. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
