This vibrant vegetable and chicken one-pot, finished with lemon and fresh herbs, has you covered, whatever your mood. It, rich in nutrients that help nourish your mind as well as your body, offers warmth and familiarity, alongside freshness and vitality — perfect for those in-between days, gently supporting your mood during this time of transition. Method · Season the skinless chicken. · Heat moderate olive oil in a pan, fry the chicken until brown on both sides and then set aside on a separate plate. · Now add the onion, garlic, and celery to the pan and stir-fry for a few minutes until soft. · Return the chicken to the pan, add the chicken soup and cook gently for around 20 minutes, until the chicken is done. · Then add the peas, sugar snaps, and asparagus. Cook for 5 minutes until the vegetables are just tender. Stir in the yogurt. · Just before serving, add the lemon juice, mint, and basil. Adding the lemon too early may discolour the vegetables. Tip for leftovers Add a little cornflour to thicken the sauce, and then serve on top of pasta, or alongside rice. 21. Which can best describe the dish? A. Mind-blowing. B. Eye-catching. C. Memory-enhancing. D. Mood-boosting. 22. Which ingredient is used the most in this recipe? A. Peas. B. Yogurt. C. Chicken. D. Onion. 23. Why is lemon juice added just before serving? A. To lock in the vegetables' color. B. To ensure the chicken's freshness. C. To help the soup take in the flavor. D. To prevent the yogurt from separating. B Till last year, I couldn't remember the last time I'd done a jigsaw puzzle. It must have been at least 20 years ago. As far as I was concerned, puzzles were for kids. There were always other more exciting, interesting and productive things to do — or so I thought. While at home on a rainy autumn afternoon, however, I chanced on a jigsaw puzzle that had been lying untouched since my husband and I were given it a few years ago. I'm not sure what came over me — perhaps it was because my husband was watching a film that didn't particularly interest me — but I decided to give it a go. The 1,000-piece puzzle took me a couple of weeks to complete. I would spend from five minutes to two hours on it at a time, depending on how busy I was. Strangely, there's something so satisfying about finding the right piece for a space, joining up sections, getting closer to finishing a picture. Every time I successfully place a piece, I get a little rush and feel a sense of achievement. It's a dopamine hit, but not one I usually get from just scrolling (刷屏) stream media. I soon became addicted to it. Meanwhile, I've found an unexpected bonus: the slightly physical aspect of it, leaning over the pieces and picking different ones up, means I can't be on my phone at the same time. I especially love that doing a puzzle doesn't involve a screen in any capacity since so many aspects of my life almost can't go without my computer, my phone or the television — even following a workout app in the gym or listening to a podcast on a walk. And I've come to realize puzzling is not just for kids after all. Perhaps it was the very piece that I had failed to notice in my life all along. 24. What did the author use to view jigsaw puzzling as? A. A popular time killer. B. A childish recreation. C. A refreshing comfort. D. A handy stress reliever. 25. What does the underlined part "a dopamine hit" in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. A sudden wave of regret. B. A brief sense of relief. C. A quick feeling of pleasure. D. A deep state of anticipation. 26. Which aspect of puzzling does the author favor most? A. It is calming. B. It is screen-free. C. It is educational. D. It is user-friendly. 27. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Missing Piece of My Life B. The Journey of Going Puzzle-free C. A Piece of Childhood Memory D. An Unforgettable Rainy Afternoon C Tiny House Shadow, a 365-square-foot sustainable tiny house, stands in Lohja as a response to modern day climate and population challenges. Designed by Matti Kuittinen, an architect professor at Aalto University, it is an exercise in what future buildings might look like. "We need to reduce emissions (排放) from the building sector by 80-90%, and build almost 2 billion new homes by the end of the century," warns Kuittinen. These two goals are contradictory, "which is why we need to consider totally different housing and construction solutions." After years of research into these issues, Kuittinen has collaborated with construction companies to build his idealized sustainable structure. Tiny House Shadow is entirely mobile and can be taken apart. It is the first of its kind to feature a specialized decarbonated steel in its exterior. Sustainable materials define the interior as well, with the floors made from recycled plastic, the ceilings from old tires and the windows from old buildings. In fact, the house uses 56% recycled materials across its entire build, this alone reducing its footprint by 53%. Just by living in a home that is smaller — and less energy-consuming in both design and day-to-day consumption — people will live a more sustainable life. In the case of Tiny House Shadow which considers everyday functions and needs versus wants, each resident reduces his or her carbon footprint greatly compared to life in a conventional house. Through the architecture and the lifestyle it promotes, Tiny House Shadow re-images what our residential space could be without the unnecessary waste we're used to. But that being said, spending time in Kuittinen's design doesn't mean roughing it. "Living in a tiny house doesn't necessarily mean giving up comfort," Kuittinen said. Inside, it can be transformed according to use, thanks to movable partitions and space-saving rooms separated by sliding doors and other mechanisms. Regularly exhibited as a sample at construction fairs, Tiny House Shadow has made a remarkable entrance on the market. Kuittinen hopes it can be a demonstration of low-emission, resource-efficient single-family housing for the modern age. 28. What is the core reason for Kuittinen's design? A. To trade space for sustainability. B. To stay true to his longtime ideals. C. To balance emission cut and housing. D. To create a cheaper alternative to flats. 29. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning Shadow? A. Its building process. B. Its spacious layout. C. Its commercial value. D. Its sustainable design. 30. What living philosophy is embodied in Tiny House Shadow? A. Idealism. B. Minimalism. C. Materialism. D. Optimism. 31. What is Kuittinen's expectation of Tiny House Shadow? A. Serving as a building model. B. Entering the market quickly. C. Attracting sufficient funding. D. Winning prizes at building fairs. D "Humans have around 20,000 protein-coding genes, but little is known about how those protein molecules (分子) organize and interact." says Trey Ideker, a professor of medicine at the University of California San Diego. Without that knowledge, trying to study and treat disease is "like trying to understand how to fix your car without the repair guide". In an April 2025 study in Nature, Ideker and his team presented their latest attempt to fill this information gap: a map of a human cell, showing the locations of more than 5,000 proteins organized into 275 smaller and smaller structures. The map goes far beyond the simplified diagrams you may recall from high school biology class. The team achieved this level of detail by taking a "multimodal" approach. First, to figure out which proteins interact inside our cells, the researchers lined a tube with a particular protein, called the "bait (诱饵)" protein. Then, they poured a blended mixture of other proteins through the tube to see which ones would stick together, showing an interaction. Next, to locate these proteins precisely, they lit up individual molecules inside a cell using glowing antibodies. These antibodies stick to specific substances. Once the antibodies found their target, the lighted protein was visualized under a microscope and placed on the map. There are many human cell types, and the one Ideker's team chose to map is called the U2OS cell. It is commonly associated with childhood bone cancer. Indeed, the researchers identified more than 100 new mutated (突变) proteins that are linked to childhood cancer, helping reveal how the disease develops. Better yet, they located those proteins within the cell. Typically, cancer research is focused on individual mutations, but by placing them in context, the map provides a look at the larger structures that individual mutations affect. "The U2OS cell took more than three years to chart, but technology and methodological improvements could speed up the mapping of other cells in the future," Ideker adds. "Our goal is 'to really scale it up' and reveal the subcellular architecture beneath all sorts of diseases." 32. What is stressed by using the metaphor in paragraph 1? A. The diversity of genes. B. The severity of disease. C. The necessity of car maintenance. D. The significance of cell mapping. 33. What is the function of the glowing antibodies in the study? A. Making the tube easily visible. B. Breaking down unwanted proteins. C. Identifying the location of the proteins. D. Speeding up the interaction of the proteins. 34. What sets Ideker's research apart from traditional cancer research? A. It names a new cell U2OS. B. It prioritizes new mutated proteins. C. It centers on individual cells. D. It contextualizes mutations within cells. 35. What is Ideker's attitude towards the future research? A. Cautious. B. Optimistic. C. Unconcerned. D. Doubtful. 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。 When I sat in the sun one afternoon, it was noisy outside. The industrious buzz of bees in cherry flowers was annoying, accompanied by "back off" warning chirps from blackbirds nesting in the tree. 36 A mini-digger was tearing apart the neighboring garden, sending out a deep, continuous roar. They started with the hedge (树篱) — I thought that was all they were going to do, because it happened around here a lot. 37 The first was proudly pointed out to me by the owner; the second I only saw in the aftermath. But this time they had bigger plans. When the hedge was out, they kept clearing away bushes, plants and trees. 38 Aren't we supposed to be a nation of garden lovers? It doesn't feel like it. 39 Paved (铺砌) driveways have covered what were plots of wild vegetation. And it's happening almost everywhere. People have their reasons and it's none of my bleeding-heart business, but I just can't stop feeling worried. I know people are busy and gardening may feel burdensome. But for anyone who has a corner of outside space, if they can't do something, at least they can do nothing. Nothing might be the best thing of all, actually, as long as they don't destroy it. 40 Wild grass and flowers feed insects and birds; insects lay eggs in plants; birds line nests in trees... Over time, the negative space where people don't garden can be precisely where the ordinary magic of life happens. A. Gardens can evolve in their own way. B. There was another noise too, though. C. Gardens are almost as diverse as a rainforest. D. I couldn't remember exactly the similar happenings. E. It was the third case I had spotted in a matter of weeks. F. By evening, what had once been a garden was no more. G. Every year, a handful of front gardens get concreted over here. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出能够填入空白处的最佳答案。 I was excited to try Mom’s state-of-the-art machine.

When people experience intense stress, the brain _____________ (56. fire) signals that quickly speed up the heart rate. Traditionally, scientists assumed this communication was a one-way street _____________ (57. run) from the brain down to the heart. However, a growing body of recent research reveals that this connection is far more complex and fundamentally bidirectional. Researchers have discovered that the heart actively talks back. Sensory fibers in the heart constantly relay information about blood pressure, rhythm, and physical strain _____________(58.) the brain, largely through the vagus nerve (迷走神经). The brain then uses this feedback to adjust bodily state and _____________ (59. respond). When this communication network operates smoothly, it not only maintains physical balance but also supports emotional _____________ (60. stable) and cognitive function. This close link explains why heart health and mental wellness are deeply intertwined. For example, depression significantly increases the risk of heart disease, while patients recovering from heart _____________ (61. attack) more often than not develop anxiety. Moreover, experiments demonstrate that people with more adaptable heart rates tend to be more flexible thinkers and make ____________ (62. wise) decisions under pressure, showing that our cognitive ability is shaped by both organs. Harnessing the heart-brain connection offers promising avenues for diagnosis and daily wellness. Scientists are testing wearable tech _____________(63.) monitors heart reaction to music, allowing for earlier and more accurate detection of hypertension. Furthermore, simple techniques like deep meditative breathing can directly stimulate the nervous system, lowering heart rate, reducing inflammation, and restoring mental calm. _____________ (64. ultimate), these discoveries are transforming modern medicine. Experts emphasize that the heart and brain must no longer _____________ (65. treat) in isolation. As cardiologists and neurologists begin to collaborate, it is becoming clear that taking care of the heart is essential to protecting the mind, and vice versa. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 应用文写作（满分15分） 假定你是李华，最近你参加了学校举办的“心理韧性训练营(Resilience Training Camp)”。请你给美国网友 David写一封邮件分享这次经历，内容包括： (1)你的变化； (2)你的感想。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80左右； (2)可适当增加细节，使内容充实、行文连贯。 第二节 读后续写（满分25分） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 The Wind Phone Every morning Mario visited his neighbor, Mr. Harper. Together they sat at the edge of his garden on the hill, looking down at the port. They made a game of spotting Mario’s dad as he unloaded the morning catch, and Mr. Harper’s daughter, Fiona, as she cleaned the fish one after another. “I see them!” Mario would say. Mr. Harper would laugh. “You win again, Mario.” It was their favorite game. Mario’s dad loved the ocean. He’d say, “Listen, Mario, the ocean’s saying good morning.” The lapping waves would whisper: O-mor-ning. O-mor-ning. Mario always returned the greeting, “Good morning, ocean.” But on the day the big wave came, the ocean didn’t whisper. It roared (咆哮). A big, watery hand swept into the port, grabbing everything — and everyone — in its grasp. Everyone lost someone that day. It took Mario’s dad, Fiona, and it even took Mario’s voice. Silence hung over the village like a dark, heavy cloud. Spring came. Here and there stood peach-trees that broke into delicate flowers of pink. One day: Tap-tap-tap. Bang-bang-bang. Mario watched from his window. Mr. Harper was building something in his garden. But what? It was a phone booth(电话亭), painted white and with many panes(窗格) of glass. Mr. Harper went inside and his voice floated out. “Fiona? It’s your father. I miss you.” Mario was confused. Fiona had been grabbed by the ocean, just like Mario’s dad. When Mr. Harper left, Mario crept inside. An old-fashioned phone sat on a table. No plugs, no wires. It was a phone connected to nowhere. Mr. Harper visited his phone booth every day. Soon other villagers did too. They lifted the receiver to their ears and their voices floated on the wind. “Hello, cousin. Today I fixed the boat. I’ll fish again soon.” “Sister, how’re you? I rode your bike today. It fits me now.” For the first time since the big wave came, Mario wanted to use his voice. He went down to the port and screamed at the ocean. “Bring our people back!” Still, the waves lapped gently. O-mor-ning. O-mor-ning. Mario sighed and looked up. 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: Mr: Harper's phone booth sat high on the hill like a lighthouse. Paragraph 2: As Mario stepped out, he spotted Mr: Harper down at the port. 高二英语试题 第 页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 烟台一中2026~2027学年第一学期阶段性检测 高二英语参考答案 一、听力 1-5 ABCCB 6-10 BACBA 11-15 ACAAC 16-20 ABCBC 二、阅读 21-23 DCA 24-27 BCBA 28-31 CDBA 32-35 DCDB 36-40 BEFGA 三、完形填空： 41-45 BDCAB 46-50 ACDAB 51-55 AABDC 四、语法填空： 56.fires 57.running 58.to 59.response 60.stability 61.attacks 62.wiser 63.that/which 64.Ultimately 65.be treated 五、应用文 One possible version: Dear David, How have you been lately? I'm writing to share my experience at the Resilience Training Camp recently organized by my school. Before the camp, I often felt discouraged when running into challenges. But the camp helped me see difficulties differently. Once, we did a teamwork challenge where we built a paper tower with limited materials. When our tower collapsed, I stayed calm and encouraged my teammates to try again instead of getting frustrated. I feel more confident now and try to treat setbacks as opportunities to improve. Looking back, the experience was really rewarding. Best wishes, Li Hua 六、读后续写 Possible version 1: Paragraph 1: Mr. Harper's phone booth sat high on the hill like a lighthouse. Before Mario realized it, his feet had already carried him uphill. The moment he reached the white phone booth, however, he stopped. This was a place many had set foot in but he had never truly entered. Taking a deep breath, Mario pulled the door open, lifted the receiver to his ear and, after a moment's hesitation, dialed a number at random. "Dad? It's Mario. I yelled at the ocean today. It said good morning anyway," he said, his head lowered. When he glanced up, the peach blossoms outside caught his eye. "Guess what? The peach trees are in full bloom. Everything's pink!" With that, Mario held the receiver tighter and whispered, "I miss you, Dad." Paragraph 2: As Mario stepped out, he spotted Mr. Harper down at the port. The scene transported him back to the old days. He could almost see his dad there, unloading his morning catch again, with Fiona. No one could understand him better than Mr. Harper—at least, he still had Mr. Harper. "I see you!" Mario called. As Mr. Harper raised his head, Mario waved. Seeing that, Mr. Harper laughed. "You win, Mario." And they still had their game. Mario sat down at the edge of the garden, something he hadn't done for a long time. Below, the waves were lapping, carrying back his dad's voice— "Listen, Mario." Yes, he heard the ocean's whisper: O-mor-ning. O-mor-ning. Someday, he would return the greeting, and he knew it would ride the wind all the way to his dad. Possible version 2: Paragraph 1: Mr. Harper's phone booth sat high on the hill like a lighthouse. Standing there quietly, Mario watched villagers line up to use it. So comforting was this little booth that even the saddest faces softened after they spoke into the phone. It was this white phone booth that gave the broken village a place to put their grief. One by one, people whispered to the sea, "Come back, please." Listening to their trembling voices, Mario felt a wave of sadness flood over him. He missed his dad and Fiona too. Having lost so much, everyone needed somewhere to speak their pain aloud. Paragraph 2: As Mario stepped out, he spotted Mr. Harper down at the port. The old man stood alone, staring at the waves. Walking up to him slowly, Mario asked in a low voice, "Does your phone really work?" Mr. Harper smiled gently. "No, Mario. It was never a real phone. It just helps us say what our hearts can't hold." Hearing these words, Mario finally understood. The phone booth was not connected to heaven, but to love. A wave of warmth flooded over him as he took Mr. Harper's hand. Never had he felt so close to his neighbor. 听力原文： Text 1 W: When I read the news online, I see so many videos and ads that I end up forgetting what I came to read! M: Actually, you can download a special app that blocks videos and ads for some time. Text 2 W: The party was full of fun activities, but it was a bit of a shame that they didn't make a list of who should bring what dish. M: Yes, it certainly meant that lots of people brought the same thing. Text 3 M: I was surprised not to see you at the gym on Saturday night, Helen. You weren't sick, were you? W: Nothing like that, Paul. In fact, my brother Kevin is moving to his new house soon, and he asked me to help him pack his belongings. Text 4 M: Have you noticed how everyone is wearing oversized clothes lately? W: Yes! And I heard long shirts are coming back. The trends just keep repeating. M: Interesting! I have a few old ones I could wear again. Text 5 M: How can I help you today? W: Oh, yes, could you help me choose a laptop? I use it mostly for school work. M: A mid-range one should suit your needs. Right this way, I'll show you our best options for that. Text 6 M: Good afternoon, I'm contacting you regarding our recent vacation package. W: Good afternoon, Mr. Patel. How may I assist you today? M: The accommodations provided were below the standards promised in our package. The room was poorly maintained, with cleanliness issues. W: I apologize for any inconvenience. I'll pass this matter on to our quality control team for further investigation. M: Thank you. I hope this feedback helps improve future customer experiences. Text 7 M: It's been two years now since I totally quit eating meat. W: Me too. I just wanted to live a greener life, and meat production's just not good for the environment. I thought I might miss certain vitamins, so I took the time to learn about healthy eating. M: Oh, that sounds like a good idea. Not trying to do too much at once was beneficial for me, like exchanging chicken or steak for beans and vegetables bit by bit. W: I did pretty much the same thing and was amazed how varied non-meat dishes can be, in fact. Text 8 W: Hey, Mark, do you have a minute to go over the details of our upcoming business trip? M: Sure, Anna. When do we leave? W: We're flying out next Monday at 8 a.m. I've booked us on the direct flight to Chicago. We need to be at the airport by 6 a.m. for check-in and security. I've arranged for a car service to pick us up at 5 a.m. M: Great. Do we have a detailed schedule for the trip yet? W: Yes. We'll have meetings with the client on Monday afternoon and all day Tuesday. Wednesday morning is set aside for a factory visit, and we fly back Wednesday evening. So we could only spare a little time on Tuesday night to check out the city. M: Sounds busy, but manageable. Text 9 W: Rob, what do you think we should announce first on the show today? M: I was thinking we should start with the big concert ticket giveaway. It will definitely attract a lot of attention from our listeners. W: But don't you think we should kick off with the weather update? It's pretty cloudy out there, and people will want to know if it's going to clear up later. M: You're right. Maybe we can fit in a quick weather update, then go straight into the giveaway announcement. W: Perfect. That way, we cover what people need to know first, and then we grab their attention with the giveaway. We could even preview the giveaway right after the weather. So listeners stick around. M: Exactly. Something like "after this weather update, stay tuned for details on how you can win tickets to the biggest concert of the year". W: And we'll follow that up with the morning headlines. Text 10 W: Hello, everyone. I'm Jenny, and I'm here to talk to you about being an actress. I've been in the business for a long time. I'm currently working on a film called *Three Bridges*, which I hope is going to be a hit. However, most of you might recognize me from *Blackfield Road*, the soap opera. I spent three years at a drama school. There, we studied subjects like acting techniques, voice training, and screenplay analysis. At school, we had this program where senior students had to spend two weeks in a real work environment. I got to spend time in a theater. I learnt all about how they built the set and how the costumes were made. After graduation, I had hoped to be given a part in a film, but instead, it was a small part in a TV commercial! However, after that, I had better opportunities to participate in some films. I'm trying out at the moment for a Shakespeare play. It's *King Lear*, and I'm really looking forward to working on stage in a theater again. It's a great chance to sharpen my acting skills, but nothing compares to the experience of having a real audience. 高二英语答案 第 页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
