In fact, after tracking 70 bears between 2016 and 2022, experts found survival rates for young grizzlies in the Elk Valley are the lowest recorded in North America. Causes of grizzly deaths Deaths of the 15 tracked bears during that period: Challenges to human-bear coexistence in the Elk Valley Measures taken Since April 2024, the government has taken effort to help humans and bears share the landscape. One of the most effective tools is electric fencing, which reduces damage to infrastructure (基础设施) by 80% — 100%. It keeps bears away from attractants like garbage, which reduces conflicts. These simple, low-cost measures are saving lives — on both sides. As someone puts it, “Coexistence is a two-way street. If we want bears to survive, we have to be willing to change, too.” 21. What percentage of tracked grizzlies died from human-related causes? A. 40%. B. 46.6%. C. 86.6%. D. 93.3%. 22. Why is the number of grizzlies stable in the Elk Valley? A. Their death rate decreases. B. Some learn to travel safely. C. They are better protected. D. Some move in from nearby. 23. What is the main function of electric fencing? A. Saving humans from bears. B. Preventing conflict and loss. C. Letting bears trust humans. D. Cutting the bear control cost. B I started my first sewing class when I was 10 years old. Despite the fact that I grew up sewing with family members, it was left on the sidelines as my life took on new interests and challenges. I didn’t own a sewing machine (缝纫机), so my sewing ideas and projects got filed under “when I have time and a sewing machine in the future”. I rarely got around to them. Years ago, I decided that I would do my best not to buy new things, especially clothes. What started as a no-buy challenge led to finding the joy and excitement again, which I experience when I engage in crafts like darning (缝补). While I had sewing experience, darning was new to me. I got my first darning needles at a local shop called Spun to practise darning some old socks with holes. The people working there told me about community meetings that they host for people who like darning. A few days later, I came back because I was eager to show someone how my first darning project turned out. They gave me the biggest smile and praise for what I achieved. What I discovered was not just a way to save my clothes or a new skill, but a community of darning lovers who are excited to welcome new people so they can experience darning and crafting together. The interest alone was enough for one to gain access and many were eager to help out beginners and share the joy, driving away the loneliness and anxiety about lacking skills. I have darning projects that I am embarrassed about, but the quality does not matter, especially for a beginner. You can always begin with small tasks on clothes you only wear at home, not forcing yourself to complete them without faults. It’s all about taking a moment to think about the objects you own and adopting a practice of not throwing something away without considering a way of darning creatively. 24. What made the author start darning? A. Experiences in a sewing class. B. The access to a sewing machine. C. Memories of family members. D. The determination to stop purchases. 25. Why did the author return to Spun? A. To learn darning from others. B. To get more darning tools. C. To present her darning progress. D. To join a darning community. 26. What does the author think of the darning lovers according to paragraph 4? A. Friendly and enthusiastic. B. Inspiring but lonely. C. Creative and hardworking. D. Professional but modest. 27. What does the author advise beginners to do? A. Focus on the quality. B. Reuse clothes cautiously. C. Practise darning at home. D. Accept the imperfections. C Do audiobooks (有声读物) qualify as reading? There is a pride in being well read. Admitting you have only listened to a book usually sounds like an apology. I used to feel the same way. Years ago, sitting in an airport bar, I noticed a man scrolling through his phone as a robotic voice read every word aloud at high speed. At first, I thought it was meaningless. Then I realized he was blind and was using a feature phone. While I was watching him — absorbed in the words, taking in their meaning — it struck me that he was reading the same way I did with my eyes. Because I have a reading disorder, reading has never come easy. Later, I tried a similar feature on my phone. For the first time, I could effortlessly absorb ideas and focus in a way I hadn’t before. Reading builds understanding, focus and critical thinking. However, there has been a drop of more than 40% in daily reading for pleasure in America over the past two decades. Meanwhile, listening to books is on the rise. Audiobook sales reached about $2.2 billion last year nationwide. And audio circulation in libraries has risen by 65% in the past five years while circulation of print and e-books has stayed flat. Obviously, audio has overtaken e-books in driving growth. So maybe removing the prejudice against audiobooks gives us a better way to think about what reading really is. The brains of people reading or listening to the same stories actually process meaning in almost the same way. Casual or distracted listening, like playing an audiobook while doing chores, doesn’t appear to engage people fully. But attentive listening can be as beneficial as print reading — even better for those with reading disabilities. Tens of millions of people now listen as they follow the text. Whether we read by eye, by ear or by both, it all counts. What matters is that the words get in, the brain makes meaning and the identity of being a reader takes hold. We need more readers, however they get there. 28. What changed the author’s attitude towards listening to books? A. His reading disorder. B. A blind man’s way of reading. C. His love for audiobooks. D. A new phone function. 29. What does the data in paragraph 3 reveal? A. Audiobooks add more pleasure to Americans’ daily reading. B. Audiobooks have changed people’s attitudes toward reading. C. Audiobooks are replacing print and e-books in the market. D. Audiobooks have become a key force in book market growth. 30. What does attentive listening bring according to paragraph 4? A. A guaranteed comprehension boost. B. The best meaning-processing way. C. A likely cure for reading disabilities. D. The same effect as print reading. 31. What does the author indicate about reading in the last paragraph? A. All roads lead to Rome. B. It’s never too late to learn. C. Practice makes perfect. D. Actions speak louder than words. D On paper, hydrogen (氢气) looks like a dream fuel. In practice, things are trickier. Storing meaningful quantities of hydrogen gas requires compressing (压缩) it several hundred times. Transforming it into a liquid state is another option, but one that requires cooling the stuff to －253℃. Either process requires rugged tanks. Over time, hydrogen gas can pass slowly into metals, weakening them and potentially causing damage. Tanks must be built from special materials designed to avoid this breakdown. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute led by Marcus Vogt think that supplying hydrogen in paste form (糊状) offers a way around some of its limitations. They have been experimenting with a chemical compound (化合物) that can be pumped into a container and then persuaded to give off its hydrogen on demand. Their invention, which they nickname “powerpaste”, looks like toothpaste. Its main ingredient is magnesium hydride, a compound that when introduced to water, reacts with it to form hydrogen and magnesium hydroxide. The escaped hydrogen can then be redirected into a fuel container, where it reacts with oxygen from the air to generate electric power. The magnesium hydroxide waste is emptied from the reactor automatically. Dr Vogt’s invention offers several advantages over batteries, petrol and more traditional ways of handling hydrogen. One is that it can store more energy per litre and per kilogram than batteries or petrol. A second is ease of refilling, which is simply a matter of replacing an empty container of paste with a full one, and topping up the water, which is stored in a separate tank. A third advantage is that, unlike a battery, the paste does not gradually lose its stored energy if it is left on the shelf. Moreover, the paste itself is harmless, and so are the reaction’s by-products. But there are still more to work through. Magnesium hydride reacts only slowly with water. To address this, Dr Vogt and his team have found a chemical additive that greatly speeds up the reaction. They have also found a way to ensure that the reaction can be controlled to supply only as much hydrogen as is needed at any given moment. 32. Which of the following best explains “rugged” underlined in paragraph 1? A. Small. B. Delicate. C. Tough. D. Huge. 33. What can we know about the invention according to paragraph 3? A. Water and electricity are necessary in the process. B. Several chemical reactions occur in the same tank. C. The remaining waste needs removing with extra help. D. Magnesium hydride reacts with water to release hydrogen. 34. How is paragraph 4 mainly developed? A. By quoting sayings. B. By drawing comparisons. C. By providing examples. D. By explaining a theory. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. “Toothpaste” in Your Tank B. Hydrogen: Fuel of Fantasy C. The Green Fuel of Tomorrow D. Paste That Powers the World 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。 Raised in a home where tension surfaced from time to time, I realized from a young age that the house wasn’t always comforting. 36 I spent hours exploring the woods behind my house. I filled my pockets with smooth rocks. I walked on piles of fallen leaves, letting the sound and feel under my feet comfort me. Before I had the language or understanding of it, I built my own wellness regimen (养生法) around wild places. Outside, birds fly; flowers come out; rivers rush by and waves crash against the beach and return to the sea. 37 Maybe, I thought, I could grow, change and rebuild my life too. 38 Hippocrates, the father of medicine in the fourth century B. C., stressed nature’s ability to heal us. In recent decades, scientific studies have related going outdoors to improved mental health. In fact, a field of research called “ecopsychology” has appeared, founded on the idea that any time spent outside leads to better immune function, lower anxiety, and higher self-worth. I’ll never know to what extent my time spent outdoors protected me as a child, but my adult physical and mental health look better than my childhood struggles would lead you to expect. Nature was the first mental health tool I had access to in life. As an adult, I’ve added ways like talk therapy (疗法), EMDR, and bodywork. 39 Whether we walk in a city park or climb a mountain, the outdoors offers an opportunity to take a break and renew ourselves. 40 Like wildlife, we can grow and adapt, fit into our surroundings, and become more energetic, making our lives more lively. A. The idea that nature has healing power is not new. B. Sharing outdoor adventures with friends created joy. C. The natural world is constantly moving and reinventing itself. D. So whenever I could, I went outside to enjoy what nature offered. E. It provides enough to wake our senses and keep us in the moment. F. But the outdoors was-and will remain-a context for my healing. G. The best part is that you don’t need a lot of time outdoors to see the benefits. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 In my family, Saturday mornings were for dim sum. “If you want to eat it, you learn to 41 the menu,” my mom would say, handing me a yellow order sheet. I scanned the 42 characters, trying to pick out the ones I knew. “You need to keep up your language,” she added. “Dim sum is the 43 to family.” Sure enough, every time we ate dim sum at local cha lous, my immigrant (移民的) mother came alive.

Mum had a hard time raising us on her own in our small community of New Westminster, BC. My dad had drowned in Pitt Lake five years earlier. Looking back, I realize what Mum went through sending us kids to school. Every morning, she would put a new piece of cardboard in our shoes because the bottom parts were worn out. When we got home, Mum would have “French toast” ready for us. Constant moving was typical for my family in those times. Rent was 25 dollars a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it, and we knew we would be homeless right after Christmas on the first of January. Christmas was approaching, and we were entitled to a twenty-five-dollar Christmas fund from social services. The inspector came to our house and searched it from top to bottom to be sure we didn’t have any food hidden away. When he didn’t find any, he issued the cheque to Mum. Mum said that instead of buying food, she would use the 25 dollars to pay back rent, assuring all of us a roof over our heads for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for Christmas. Unknown to Mum, I had been selling Christmas trees, shoveling snow, and doing part-time jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots. Boots that weren’t patched (打补丁); boots with no cardboard in the soles. I knew exactly which boots I wanted. They were ten-inch Top Genuine Pierre Paris, and they had a price of 23 dollars. Well, the big day came on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. I was excited as I hurried up the road to the shoe store, but on the way, I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then I realized that at our house, we had no lights, no decorations, nor any money for Christmas meals. I knew that we would have no turkey or ham for Christmas, and I felt sad. 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。 As I continued walking, I began to reconsider my plan. __________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With great excitement and tears, I knocked on the door of our house. _______________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年秋季高二年级暑假作业过关练习 英语参考答案 题序 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 答案 C B B A C C A A C B A B B A C 题序 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 B A B C A C D B D C A D B D D 题序 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 答案 A C D B A D C A F E C D A B C 题序 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 答案 B A D B C D B A D C 56. proposals 57. fashionable 58. admiration 59. existence 60. description 61. recyclable 62. entirely 63. survival 64. accessible 65. beneficial 第四部分 第一节 【参考范文1】 选项一：参与乡村实践活动（Taking part in rural activities） My Biggest Gain from Rural Practice Of all the experiences during the Rural Practice this July, taking part in rural activities turned out to be my biggest gain. Stepping out of my urban comfort zone, I fully immersed myself in various practical tasks. Working alongside villagers in the muddy fields, I learned to handle traditional farm tools to harvest rice. In a local farmhouse, I even tried grinding soybeans to make fresh tofu. These hands-on activities were physically demanding, yet experiencing the hard work behind agricultural labor gave me a profound sense of accomplishment. Looking back, these meaningful tasks did not just equip me with practical skills; they deepened my appreciation for labor and rural life. It was a valuable lesson that no textbook could ever provide. 【参考范文2】 选项二：与当地居民沟通互动（Connecting with local people） My Biggest Gain from Rural Practice Of all the moments during the Rural Practice this July, connecting with local people stood out as my biggest gain. Throughout the journey, I engaged in deep conversations with villagers from different backgrounds. Listening to elderly farmers sharing their stories gave me a genuine insight into the changes taking place in the countryside. I also communicated with local village officials to learn about community development. These warm interactions helped me see rural life from diverse perspectives and build a strong bond with the local community. Looking back on these meaningful connections, I realize that understanding people is the key to understanding a place. This new perspective has been my biggest gain from the experience. 第二节 【参考范文】 As I continued walking, I began to reconsider my plan. I thought of Mum’s sacrifices, the disappointed little faces, and the empty house waiting for us. I remembered how hard she had worked to raise us and how she had given up the Christmas fund just to keep a roof over our heads. Compared with everything Mum had done for our family, a new pair of boots no longer seemed so important. After a moment’s hesitation, I made up my mind. I decided to spend the money on a small turkey, some cookies, and a few strings of Christmas lights. Having purchased and packaged everything, I hurried back home. With great excitement and tears, I knocked on the door of our house. When Mum opened the door, her eyes widened with surprise at the sight of the food and Christmas lights in my hands. I told her softly that I wanted our family to have a real Christmas, even if it was a simple one. For a moment, she stood frozen, and then tears filled her eyes as she pulled me into her arms. Soon, laughter and warmth filled our little house. That night, we shared a simple yet unforgettable Christmas dinner. I didn’t get the new boots I had longed for, but I gained something far more precious — the joy of bringing love and hope to my family. 听力材料 Text 1 W: I’m not sure a round table is the best option, Jim. What about this square table? It seats as many as a round one. But you can fold it and use it as a small desk too. M: That’s a great idea, Molly. I’ll do that. Text 2 W: I’ll take express delivery. How much will that cost? M: That depends on the weight. If you hand me the box, I’ll weigh it and tell you the cost of sending it. Text 3 W: So, Mr. Thomas, has James made any progress since the last time I saw you? M: Well, from what I see on his report, he’s been doing very well in all subjects except my class. Text 4 W: Hi, Robert. How are things? M: Well, Chloe, I’ve spent the last couple of months working from home on a project. Unfortunately, I put on a bit of weight and now I’m thinking of ways to lose it. Text 5 M: I’m so sorry I missed your party yesterday, Wendy. I had some unexpected family matters. W: I hope nobody was ill, Sam. M: Nothing like that. My aunt called me to pick her up from the airport. Text 6 M: Hi, Becca! I didn’t see you in class on Thursday. Where were you? W: Hey, Franco. Yeah, I was sick on Thursday, so I stayed home. M: That’s too bad. Do you feel better now? W: I do. Thanks. So, was it a good class on Thursday? M: Oh, it was great! There was a special talk by Sylvia Earle. W: A talk? M: Yeah, she talked about her career. W: Really? What does she do? M: Well, she’s in charge of several groups that study the oceans and take care of them. Text 7 W: It’s great that so many young children are coming here to have their teeth checked, but we’re getting complaints from other patients about how noisy the waiting area is. M: Right. Maybe we could repurpose the first patient room to make a separate waiting area just for children. You know, remodel the space and add some books and toys for kids. W: That might work. I’m just not sure if we can secure enough money for remodeling. If we can, we’d need to find the right company. Text 8 W: Hi, Mark. How did you like the show? M: I really enjoyed it. Actually, I’ve got the brochure here. Would you like to have a look? W: Actually, I’m not really into them. They’ve always felt like a bit of a waste of money. Anyway, what’s the gallery like? M: Really cool. The gallery uses natural light to highlight the paintings, which also saves a lot of energy. W: I expect it was crowded. M: Well, I’d expected there to be a lot of people, so I wouldn’t be able to see anything. In fact, there were so few people that I nearly had the place to myself. W: That’s surprising! M: Yeah, I was surprised too. It was really peaceful. I could actually take my time and enjoy the exhibits. Text 9 W: So what do you think? M: I love your new place. Look at that huge fridge! When did that arrive? W: About a week ago — last Thursday. M: Well, I really like it. W: I’ve been getting a lot of new things this past week. The day after the fridge arrived, my new television was here. M: Wow! And look at that sofa for watching it on! Did that arrive on Friday, too? W: No, it came a day later. Then on Sunday I was able to wash my clothes because I got my washer. M: Have you been eating well since you moved in? W: Not really. Until Monday I was eating fast food all the time because I had no cooker. Monday was the first day I could cook a proper meal. M: I guess you have no shelves yet, though, do you? W: No, they’ll arrive next Tuesday; that’s why the place is in such a mess. M: Do you have a computer to work on? W: Yes. It arrived yesterday. Text 10 M: Hello, everyone. I’m going to tell you about an exciting geography project we’re going to do this year. It’s going to be about a bridge called Tallworth Bridge. There are two bridges in Tallworth. The new bridge was built in 1956, but the one we’re going to see, the old bridge, has been there since 1832. The person who paid for the bridge wasn’t the famous engineer who built it but a farmer. He needed to get his sheep safely across a river to another field. We’re going to visit the bridge next week. It’s $3 for students to go into the bridge museum and $2 is enough to take if you want to buy something from the museum shop. A camera is necessary so you can take pictures for your project. And we’ll return before lunchtime, so you don’t need food or drink. I told you last week that the date of the trip was May 9th. This has now been changed to May 7th. I hope that is OK with everyone. Do you have any questions? 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
