The aim of this activity was to enrich our campus life and help us appreciate the beauty of Chinese poetry. During the event, students recited classic poems with great passion on stage. Some even wore traditional costumes and played background music, creating a wonderful atmosphere. I was deeply touched by everyone’s performance. It not only improved my appreciation of literature but also made me feel the vigorous spirit of youth. I hope you can experience something similar someday! Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 参考范文： He quickly calmed down. He took a deep breath and decided to introduce the mooncakes. “Mooncakes are very important in Chinese culture,” he began, his voice steady. “They are round, symbolizing reunion. We eat them during the Mid-Autumn Festival to celebrate family togetherness. Each bite is full of sweet fillings, just like the warmth of a family gathering.” As he spoke, the room fell silent. People listened intently, their curiosity stirred. Some started to nod in understanding, and the awkward atmosphere gradually faded away. Emma took a small bite of the mooncake and her eyes widened in surprise. “It’s delicious!” she exclaimed. Others followed suit, and soon, the laughter turned into praises. Three months later, Li Wei and his mooncakes appeared at school’s International Food Fair. His booth was decorated with red lanterns and Chinese knots. People queued up to taste his mooncakes. Li Wei introduced the mooncakes with confidence, sharing the cultural significance behind them. Many students and teachers were deeply attracted. They not only enjoyed the sweet taste of the mooncakes but also learned about Chinese traditions. His mooncakes became the star of the fair. Li Wei was overjoyed. He realized that cultural differences could be bridged through sharing and understanding, and his little mooncakes had become a wonderful bridge to connect different cultures. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 子洲中学2025~2026学年度第二学期期末考试 高二英语试题 注意事项： 1．本试卷共10页，满分150分，时间120分钟。 2．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、班级和准考证号填写在答题卡上。 3．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。涂写在本试卷上无效。 4．作答非选择题时，将答案书写在答题卡上，书写在本试卷上无效。 5．考试结束后，监考员将答题卡按顺序收回，装袋整理；试卷不回收。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音，每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

What started as a simple gesture has now grown into a nationwide movement. When his grandfather passed away in 2014, middle-schooler Jacob Cramer started volunteering at a local senior living community to ease his sadness. He quickly made friends with some people living there. He really liked an energetic elderly lady named Cynthia. “I often feel so lonely, Jacob,” Cynthia once told Jacob, explaining that her niece calls occasionally but she gets very few visitors and never receives letters in the mail. Jacob’s heart broke, and he decided to do something to help Cynthia. So he wrote his friend a letter and read it to her. Cynthia was full of joy as her tears flowed. Jacob realized that many seniors were on their own. “Can I help them feel less alone?” he wondered. Inspired, Jacob called communities to find more seniors who would like to receive letters, and began writing and mailing out hundreds of letters. After one nursing home sent Jacob photos of residents smiling with their letters, he wanted to do more. So in 2015, with help from his parents, Jacob started the nonprofit Love for Our Elders. Over the years, his organization has drawn volunteers from around the country to write 800,000 handwritten letters. At first, the letters were not written to anyone in particular and mass letter-sending was adopted. But starting in 2021, people could write letters to specific seniors featured on Love for Our Elders, which gives an introduction to each resident’s situation and interests. Letter-writers can then mail their letters — which typically include jokes, a little information about themselves and inspiring messages — directly to the seniors’ families, who will pass the letters along to the elderly people. “This project has shown me how kind people can be,” says Jacob, now 24 and a Yale University graduate. “It’s not just a letter — it’s something very powerful.” 24. Why did Jacob take up volunteer work at first? A. To meet new friends. B. To relieve his own grief. C. To develop social skills. D. To help lonely seniors out. 25. What can we learn about Cynthia? A. She has little daily company. B. She often writes to her niece. C. She works in the community. D. She loves reading old letters. 26. How did Jacob’s activity develop after 2015? A. It mainly served local nursing homes. B. It focused on taking photos of elders. C. It attracted more helpers nationwide. D. It stopped regular mass letter-sending. 27. What does Jacob think of his project at present? A. It needs more government support. B. It has made him a national celebrity. C. It carries meaning beyond the letters. D. It proves pretty hard to keep running. C In some cities, as many as one in four office spaces are empty. Some start-ups are giving them a second life. Vertical (垂直的) indoor farms — where crops can be grown in climate-controlled environments using the latest planting techniques — have been popping up around the world. The open-plan nature of most modern offices makes them suitable for indoor farm use. Still, repurposing, particularly to ensure a space can accommodate the proper equipment and has proper electrical, heating, ventilation (通风), and air conditioning systems, can be difficult. The Calgary Tower Project, developed by the company Agriplay Ventures, has worked to overcome these challenges. Agriplay uses 1-by-2.5 m modular racks (有标准组件的架子) rising up to 3 m tall, which can easily adapt to any space with ventilation. The racks are also easy to remove once a project is completed. Unoccupied office buildings are often close to final consumers. In a former paper storage warehouse in Arlington, about a mile outside of Washington, D.C., Area 2 Farms is growing over 180 organic varieties of green vegetables. By serving consumers within 10 miles or less, the company has driven down transport costs and any associated carbon footprint. Energy use, however, is the “Achilles’ heel” of this field, says Fraser. Vertical farms need a lot of electricity to run lighting and ventilation systems, smart devices, and automated harvesting technologies. “But if energy is sourced from renewable sources, they can outperform regular farms in this regard, too,” he says. They face other challenges, too. And, for now, aside from leafy greens, most indoor facilities cannot yet mass produce other types of crops like wheat, corn or rice. “One thing cities dislike is unused spaces that don’t drive economic growth,” says Fraser. “If indoor farm projects in cities like Arlington prove successful, others may follow suit.” 28. What can be concluded about Agriplay? A. It helps clients locate storage areas. B. It develops new planting techniques. C. It focuses on maintaining office buildings. D. It offers equipment suited for indoor farming. 29. What does the author indicate by mentioning Arlington? A. The achievements of Agriplay Ventures. B. The benefits of urban indoor farms. C. The significance of local food production. D. The popularity of organic vegetables. 30. Which word is closest in meaning to “Achilles’ heel” underlined in paragraph 5? A. Core. B. Future. C. Weakness. D. Advantage. 31. What might be the best title for the text? A. The Rise of Organic Farms B. A New Life for Empty Offices C. A Bright Future for City Farmers D. The World of High-Tech Agriculture D As the new robot called Sprout walks around a Manhattan office, nodding its rectangular head, lifting its swinging “eyebrows” and offering to shake your hand with its grippers (钳子), it looks nothing like the shiny and threatening humanoids built by some companies. Sprout’s charm is the point. A 5-year-old child could comfortably talk at eye level with this humanoid, which stands 1 meter tall and has a soft exterior of sage-green foam. Developed by Fauna Robotics over two years, Sprout aims to jump-start a whole new industry of building “approachable” robots for homes, schools and social spaces. If its emotive expressions and blinking lights seem slightly familiar, it might be from generations of Star Wars robots and other robotic companions dreamed up in animation studios and children’s literature. “Most people in this industry take inspiration from the science fiction that we grew up with,” said Fauna Robotics co-founder and CEO Rob Cochran. “I think some do so from Westworld and Terminator. We do from WALL-E, Baymax and Rosie Jetson.” Sprout can’t lift heavy objects, but it can dance the Twist or the Floss, grab a toy block or teddy bear, or stand up from a chair to take a long walk along the wooden floors. It walks slowly but steadily on uneven ground. Only once did it come close to tripping when taking a sharp turn to avoid a person. Its foot hit a table wheel so low that it could not be seen by Sprout’s camera eyes. But the robot, built to handle disturbances, quickly recovered its balance and kept walking, much like a clumsy person might. Starting a robot company can be unforgiving, especially one designing personal robots. What happens next with Sprout will depend on how developers experiment with it and what they learn. For Cochran, some of the most important “judges” have already given their approval. In a home video he keeps on his phone, his 2-year-old twins excitedly jump up and down as Sprout greets them. 32. What is a key feature of the robot Sprout? A. It is built mainly for heavy lifting. B. It moves more quickly than other robots. C. It wears bright shiny metal covers. D. It has a friendly and childlike appearance. 33. What inspired the design of Sprout according to the passage? A. Robotic images in animated works. B. Industrial robots for social spaces. C. Tools used in ordinary households. D. Characters from adventure novels. 34. How did Sprout react to the fall risk? A. It stopped walking at once. B. It regained balance quickly. C. It asked people for assistance. D. It released a warning signal. 35. What is Cochran’s attitude towards the future of personal robots? A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Indifferent. 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。 In a world driven by test scores and productivity, art is often seen as a luxury or an elective. But recent research suggests this common assumption is mistaken. 36 They build stronger creative thinking and emotional intelligence through these pursuits. One study even found that art participants scored 20% higher on empathy tests. Why does art have such a powerful effect on young minds? 37 When a child paints or plays an instrument, the brain must coordinate perception (感知), movement, memory, and emotion all at once. A 2024 Swiss study of over 2,000 children found that those receiving regular arts training consistently outperformed their peers in problem-solving tasks. 38 Children often struggle to put complex feelings into words. Art gives them another language to express their own inner world. Through colors, sounds, or movements, they can express what they cannot otherwise share. This process helps them understand and manage their own moods — a skill vital for mental health. The value of art extends well into adulthood as well. In an age when AI can generate content from existing information, uniquely human strengths — imagination, original thinking, moral judgment — are becoming more valuable. Art education nurtures (培养) exactly these essential human qualities. Students with art backgrounds learn to approach problems without ready-made answers. 39 That is why art education deserves a central place in our schools. Policymakers and parents should no longer see art as an extra thing. Instead, they need to recognize it as an essential part of the school curriculum. 40 Engagement with artistic pursuits builds creativity, empathy, and the inner strength to face life’s challenges. A. Art, in essence, is about making better human beings. B. Much of the explanation lies in how the human brain works. C. Some educators argue that art is difficult to measure in standardized tests. D. Another benefit is that art provides a safe space for emotional expression. E. Math and science courses are always prioritized over art classes in most schools. F. They embrace uncertainty, which prepares them for careers that no machine can replace. G. It shows students engaged in regular artistic activities such as drawing or music gain clear 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。 The prize may belong to the fastest.

As he reached Marcus, he saw the pain on his face and heard his short, 52 breaths. Instead of running ahead, Daniel stopped and put Marcus’s arm over his 53 . Slowly, step by step, they 54 towards the finish line together. “Helping him finish meant more than any 55 ,” Daniel said later. “That day, we both won in a different way.” 41.

Having moved from Shanghai just three months ago, he felt the party was his first real chance to make friends. His mother had spent the entire morning in their tiny apartment kitchen carefully preparing a gift: homemade mooncakes wrapped in red paper decorated with dragon patterns. “In China, red brings good luck and the dragon represents strength,” she said proudly. “These mooncakes carry our family’s blessings.” At the party, colorful balloons danced along the ceiling, and the living room was filled with the latest pop songs. Li Wei noticed everyone’s gifts piled (堆放) on a table, and he placed his gift on the top, whose traditional appearance stood out among the gifts. He looked around and found that most of the faces were unfamiliar. So he sat down and listened to the music, waiting excitedly for that big moment — opening the gifts. Soon it came. In the cheers of her friends, Emma walked over to the table. Her eyes were immediately drawn to Li Wei’s uniquely wrapped gift. However, when she opened it, silence fell as she stared at the unfamiliar pastries (糕点). “What ... are these?” she asked hesitantly. A boy leaned over and laughed loudly, “Looks like play-dough!” Heat rushed to Li Wei’s face as he stammered (结结巴巴地说), “They’re traditional Chinese mooncakes ...” However, his voice was swallowed by the laughter that followed. Someone even whispered, “This might be leftovers from his home. He must think it’s a picnic outing.” Li Wei’s heart sank. He didn’t expect that his well-intended gift — a gesture of love, now turned into something strange and unwelcome in this foreign setting. The joyful atmosphere disappeared quickly, replaced by an uncomfortable silence as guests looked at the mooncakes as if they were strange objects from another world. Just as Li Wei wished he could disappear, he suddenly remembered what his mother had said with pride before he came here. 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。 He quickly calmed down. ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Three months later, Li Wei and his mooncakes appeared at school’s International Food Fair. ________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
