Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2026·梅州高二上学期期中)Last summer, I volunteered on a farm for a school project. I expected boring labor, but I met Ms. Anna, a woman now considered a pioneer of organic farming in our region.
Ms. Anna wasn't always an organic grower. What drove her to change was the sight of chemical pesticides turning the nearby creek grey and lifeless. Convinced that the land deserved better, she abandoned synthetic chemicals overnight. The first few seasons were harsh. Weeds fought back faster than vegetables, and yields dropped so sharply that neighbours laughed. Yet she refused to surrender, studying late into the night to design natural solutions.
She soon discovered that a field behaves like a miniature planet. Instead of a single cash crop, she created a mosaic of roots, shapes and colours: tall tomatoes climbing frames, low beans fixing nitrogen, and bright marigolds confusing pests. Why such apparent disorder is actually order became clear—each species paid rent in the form of nutrients or pollinators, keeping the soil rich without a gram of factory-made fertiliser.
To her, healthy earth was not a resource but a living community. Watching bees stagger drunk from blossom to blossom, she described them as “tiny winged farmers” working for free. Earthworms, she claimed, were unpaid ploughmen turning rubbish into black gold. What impressed me most was this ability to see the farm as an orchestra in which even the smallest insect had a solo worth protecting.
When my month ended, I realised agriculture was no longer a backdrop to dinner; it was a dialogue between humans and everything else that breathes. Ms. Anna, with her sun-tanned skin and calloused hands, was more than a grower; she was a guardian conducting a greener world, one seed at a time.

(2026·济南一中高二期中)My father, Michael, was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, which shocked the whole family as he was only in his forties.
Dad, a husband and father of three, had a successful career running a painting studio and was always extremely creative.Even in the advanced stages of Parkinson's, my father decided to keep painting.In art lessons, the class practised painting still life objects, like pears, but my father had other ideas for his inspiration, beginning producing abstract pieces, explaining that it helped us to see the world differently.I realized he was right.Observing my father's works, I could interpret each of them in many ways.
Outside of work, he spent 15 years leading a band, Musical Chairs, which performed at the pub in Sydney's Double Bay each week.When I became a mother, he developed a very close bond with my daughter, Portia.Even after his diagnosis, his passion for music re{mained unwavering, and his love for Portia continued to grow stronger.
Unfortunately, he was later diagnosed with kidney cancer and given just three months to live.As months turned to years, my father seemed a walking miracle, but his health was suffering.Knowing that he wanted to share his paintings with the world, I decided to organize an exhibition for him.By then he had painted 660 works.
I hadn't done anything like this before.When I was younger, my father always told me, “Just say yes and then work out how to do it later,” so I figured this philosophy would guide me through difficult times.
So in October last year, we welcomed the public to “My Kids Could Do That”, my father's first public showing, held at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia in Sydney.Everyone loved his works.I was thrilled to see Dad had found the confidence in calling himself an artist at last.His eyes lit up with pride, seeing the walls filled with his works.I've got three of his pieces in my home and I can't be more proud of what he has achieved.

Staffan Lindeberg is a professor in the department of medicine at the University of Lund in Sweden.He was interested in a Stone Age diet.Years ago he travelled to Papua New Guinea to study the diet of the people on the island of Kitava as it was very close to the Stone Age diet.While there, he found that people did not suffer from heart attacks, diabetes (糖尿病),being overweight and many other diseases common in modern society.
As a result of his findings,he decided to test patients in Sweden to see how such a diet would affect them.Fourteen patients followed a Stone Age diet while another fifteen followed a Mediterranean diet, also healthy with lots of fruit and vegetables.All of the patients in the tests had high blood sugar levels,most suffered from diabetes and all had heart problems.
At the end of three months, the group following the Mediterranean diet had reduced their blood sugar levels by a small amount but those following the Stone Age diet had much lower levels of sugar in their blood.The patients in both groups also lost weight although the level of sugar in the blood and the patients' weight didn't seem to be related.
So, what is it about the Stone Age diet that can make us more healthy?The diet contains some meat,fish,vegetables and nuts but it doesn't contain any dairy products or grains, and there is no salt.
The next question is whether the Kitava people are healthier than us.After all,their life expectancy (预期寿命) is much lower.According to Professor Lindeberg, this is not as simple as we may think.Because of their poor healthcare, there is more chance of them dying at a young age. However, if people on Kitava manage to reach fifty, they are likely to live as long as people in more developed countries.

Ⅱ.七选五
How to Protect Your Ears
You and your friends are leaving a concert on a Friday night. When you get outside, your ears are ringing. You have to shout to be heard.1.________ So no harm done...right?
Not quite. Temporary buzzing may be easy to ignore, but repeated exposure to loud noise will eventually cause serious—and irreversible (不可逆转的)—hearing loss. A new study conducted by researchers at a hospital in Boston shows that one in five people between the ages of 12 and 19 are experiencing slight hearing loss, and one in 20 have mild hearing loss.2.________ But the good news is that there are plenty of ways you can protect your ears from further damage—and still listen to the music you love.
Ask around.Put your earbuds in or your headphones on, and then ask a friend next to you whether or not he or she can hear what you're listening to.3.________ Turn it down.
Buy noise-canceling headphones.A pair of earbuds or headphones that fits comfortably will limit outside noise so that you can hear your music better at lower volume.
Take breaks.4.________ So when listening to music, take your headphones off for 15 or 20 minutes and let your ears enjoy the quiet.
5.________ You can buy a cheap pair at any drugstore as an easy way to lower volume at concerts—or while playing or practicing your own music—without changing the quality of the sound.
A.Use earplugs.
B.Keep the volume below 70 percent.
C.If the answer is yes, your music is too loud.
D.But by morning, your hearing is totally back to normal.
E.Like every other part of your body, your ears need rest.
F.Unfortunately, there's no way to get back hearing you've already lost.
G.The exposure to noise is louder and longer than in any previous generation.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几种保护耳朵的方法,包括询问身边的人音乐的音量、购买噪音消除耳机、定时休息和使用耳塞等。
1.D 解析:根据上文可知,某个周五晚上的音乐会让你耳鸣;结合空后“So no harm done ... right?”可知,耳朵似乎并没有受到伤害。由此可推知,空处应表示转折,D项符合语境。
2.F 解析:根据空后的But可知,空处与下文情况相反,为对比关系,F项符合语境。
3.C 解析:根据上文可知,戴上耳机后询问身边的朋友是否能听见你听的东西,并结合下文“Turn it down.”可知,空处描述询问的结果,C项符合语境。
4.E 解析:根据该段小标题“Take breaks.”并结合下文可知,该段与让耳朵休息有关,E项符合语境。
5.A 解析:根据本段内容可知,你可以在任何一家药店买到一副便宜的耳塞,以用于降低音乐会的音量。由此可知,该段与准备一副耳塞有关,A项符合语境。
