B For former Chinese women’s soccer player Zhao Lina, her story began not under stadium lights but in the dusty schoolyard of Jinshajiang Road Primary School in Shanghai’s Putuo district. Now 33, she still remembers joining the school soccer team in first grade — the tallest among all her teammates. The coach lined everyone up by height, and Zhao stood at the end of the line. Impressed by her height, the coach decided she should be a goalkeeper. But she never imagined one day she would step onto the international stage. In the beginning, her only fan was her father. A decade later, she stood on the world stage at the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup, wearing the red jersey of China. She then felt the pure joy of playing, with the thunderous cheers from the packed stadium forever unforgettable. One of her most unforgettable matches came in 2022, when China made a stunning 3-2 comeback against South Korea to reclaim the AFC Women’s Asian Cup after 16 years. It was the perfect high point and a year later, Zhao announced her retirement, closing an 18-year career. After retiring from Team China in 2023, former goalkeeper Zhao Lina never truly walked away from the soccer pitch. Instead, she found a new mission — bringing soccer to children in China’s rural areas. Through her soccer charity program, Zhao plans to visit 100 remote schools, build pitches, donate equipment, organize leagues and train local physical education teachers to coach. In the 10 months since her retirement, she has already helped build four soccer fields and deliver equipment to 40 schools. Alongside her charity work, Zhao has also stepped into journalism. She served as a reporter for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. “Life isn’t a straight line,” she reflects. “Even athletes have peaks and declines. But when the next rise comes — if you’ve prepared enough and give your all — you’ll surpass your last peak. That’s what life and soccer have taught me.” 4. How was Zhao Lina first chosen to be a goalkeeper? A. She was recognized for her natural talent. B. She was encouraged by her father. C. She was drawn to the position herself. D. She was selected because of her height. 5. What do the underlined words “stepped into” mean in paragraph 6? A. Wandered. B. Joined. C. Approached. D. Sampled. 6. How is the passage mainly organized? A. By comparing her early and later life. B. By listing challenges from her career. C. By following the order of time in her life. D. By discussing her charity then sports work. 7. Which saying best describes Zhao Lina’s story? A. Every ending leads to a new beginning. B. Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. C. Time and tide wait for no man. D. Success is built upon repeated small efforts. C Every time you buy a bottle of water, grab a takeaway meal, or use a disposable straw, you’re contributing to a global crisis: plastic pollution. While plastic is convenient, its impact on the environment is devastating — and far more long-lasting than most people realize. First, plastic waste chokes our oceans. Marine biologists estimate that over 8 million tons of plastic enter oceans yearly, killing sea turtles, seabirds, and fish that mistake it for food. A recent study found that 90% of seabirds have plastic in their stomachs, and even deep-sea creatures, living 10,000 meters below the surface, are not safe. This isn’t just a tragedy for wildlife; it’s a threat to humans too. Microplastics — tiny pieces of broken-down plastic — have been found in drinking water, seafood, and even the air we breathe, with unknown effects on our health. Second, plastic production harms ecosystems. To make plastic, we extract fossil fuels like oil and gas, which releases greenhouse gases and accelerates climate change. Factories also dump toxic waste into rivers, poisoning soil and water sources. What’s worse, most plastic isn’t recycled. Only 9% of all plastic ever made has been recycled; the rest ends up in landfills, where it can take 500 years to decompose. Some argue that plastic is too useful to give up. While it’s true that plastic has benefits — from medical equipment to food packaging — we can replace single-use items with eco-friendly alternatives. Cloth bags, glass bottles, and metal straws are simple swaps. Governments can also play a role by banning plastic bags or taxing disposable products, as many countries already do. The choice is clear: convenience shouldn’t come at the cost of our planet. Reducing plastic waste isn’t just a trend — it’s a responsibility we owe to future generations. 8. What is the main harm of plastic waste to oceans? A. It makes ocean water undrinkable. B. It kills marine life and enters the food chain. C. It causes ships to crash into marine creatures. D. It blocks sunlight from reaching underwater plants. 9. The underlined word “decompose” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______. A. to break down into natural materials B. to release harmful gases C. to be collected and reused D. to become more dangerous 10. Why do some people oppose reducing plastic use? A. They don’t care about the environment. B. They think plastic is necessary for daily life. C. They believe plastic pollution is not serious. D. They want to protect fossil fuel industries. 11. What can we infer from the passage? A. All plastic products should be banned immediately. B. Recycling is the best solution to plastic pollution. C. Individual actions and government policies can reduce plastic waste. D. Microplastics have already caused serious health problems in humans. D Healthcare organizations face big problems: costs are rising, but income is growing slowly. Cloud technology offers a solution by replacing outdated systems, improving efficiency, and enhancing care. Key benefits include helping doctors make better decisions by giving them faster access to patient information, lowering costs by making operations run smoother — which is crucial when government payments are low — and providing stronger security to protect patient data. As Dr. Michelle Flemmings from Oracle notes, older computer systems often made work harder with repetitive tasks, while the cloud makes accessing data easier and reduces doctors’ workload. Adding AI makes the cloud even more powerful. AI acts like a smart helper for doctors. Flemmings compares it to having a top medical expert by your side. AI helps assess patient risks, suggests best practices, and finds vital information in health records instantly. This teamwork speeds up tasks, like finding patients who qualify for clinical trials during regular visits — opportunities often missed before. Also, AI-powered patient websites offer personalized services like online booking, meeting the high demand for digital options. Cloud uses are growing fast: reducing missed appointments, automating complex data analysis, spotting security risks, and simplifying administration tasks. However, moving to the cloud has challenges, mainly cost and security worries. Flemmings advises starting small with pilot projects to fix specific problems, especially for smaller hospitals. Importantly, cloud security is often better than old systems, with AI boosting threat detection. As Amar Nagaram from IU Health highlights, the cloud simplifies tech systems and improves teamwork. Ultimately, the cloud is changing healthcare’s future. It cuts costs and tech burdens while speeding up innovation. Secure cloud tools let patients access care remotely, beyond the clinic. Nagaram states that without cloud tech, healthcare groups can’t compete. While moving needs careful planning, progress is happening. For example, IU Health uses AI to prioritize urgent patient help requests. Cloud technology is building a foundation for healthcare focused on patients, quality, and constant innovation. 12. What are the primary pressures driving healthcare towards cloud adoption? A. Demand for better patient experiences. B. Shortage of physical data storage space. C. Rising costs and slowing revenue growth. D. Government requirements for new technology. 13. How is AI described when assisting a doctor? A. A clinical support tool. B. A top consultant nearby. C. A real-time data processor. D. An independent advisor. 14. What is the recommended strategy for adopting cloud technology? A. Gradual launch starting small. B. Ignoring cost considerations. C. Taking full-system migration. D. Outsourcing all IT operations. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Rise of Digital Patient Portals. B. The AI Revolution in Medical Diagnosis. C. Cutting Healthcare Costs Through Technology. D. Revolutionizing Healthcare Through Cloud Technology. 第三部分 阅读七选五（共5小题，满分12.5分） Developing a sense of gratitude isn’t difficult or challenging. ____16____ And the more you practice it, the better you’ll become at putting yourself into a grateful state of mind.

Emma, with her curious eyes shining, asked me about my friendship with Lucy. Without a moment’s hesitation, I said, “I only hung out with Lucy because she wanted me to, but I didn’t really want to be friends with her. She was kind of boring.” Unluckily, I didn’t know Lucy was nearby. When I looked up, she was right there, having heard everything. Her face turned pale, and her eyes got big with surprise. She didn’t say anything and ran off. Emma and I just stood there, feeling bad. I knew I should go after Lucy and say sorry, but I was too shocked to move. Emma’s face turned red too. We walked home without talking, and it felt like our steps were getting heavier. The next days were hard. I felt really bad about what I said and wanted to fix things with Lucy. I needed to say sorry. But what should I say? Even though I didn’t mean to, I hurt Lucy’s feelings. Every time I saw her at school, I looked away quickly. Then, something interesting happened in our speaking class. On Tuesday, Ms. Julia said we would do pre-class speeches. She had written our topics on small pieces of paper and put them in a box. We had to pick one without knowing what it was. I was a bit nervous. When I reached into the box, I pulled out a paper that said, “Tell your most embarrassing moment.” My heart was beating fast. It felt like I was given a chance to make things right. I spent the next few days practicing my speech, trying to find the right words to apologize to Lucy. I wanted to be sincere and show her I was sorry. When the day of the speech came, I was still nervous, but I knew it was important to face my mistake. 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。 I stood in front of the class, took a deep breath, and began to share my story. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That day marked a turning point. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 长沙市三峰中学2026年下高二年级第一次限时检测 英语试题 (考试时间：120分 满分：150分 命题人：高二英语备课组) 第I卷（选择题） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 1.

Yours, Li Hua 【47题答案】 【答案】 I stood in front of the class, took a deep breath, and began to share my story. At first, my palms were sweaty and my voice trembled. “My most embarrassing and regretful moment was when I betrayed my friend Lucy’s trust. In a moment of thoughtlessness, I said cruel words about her. I was wrong, and I’ve been haunted by my actions ever since. Lucy, you are an amazing friend, full of warmth and kindness. I am truly sorry for the pain I caused you.” As I spoke, I secretly looked at Lucy a few times. Her eyes were shiny and she was biting her lip. That day marked a turning point. After my speech, Lucy walked up to me with a soft smile. “Your apology means a lot,” she said. “I know you didn’t mean those words.” From that day on, we became inseparable. We laughed together, cried together, and built a friendship that was stronger than ever. This experience made me realize that real friends are forgiving, and every relationship is worth fighting for. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
