Buy a Local SIM Card Yes, it’s easy, affordable, and widely available in most countries. Once you land, head to a convenience store and pick up a SIM card. You’ll often find these at airports, and they usually come with a variety of data plans. A few dollars could get you anywhere from 1 to 10 GB of data — or even more. Local SIMs are great if you’re travelling in a single country or region for an extended period. Not only do they give you a local number, which is helpful for booking accommodations or restaurant reservations, but they also keep your internet speed fast and reliable. 2. Utilise Public Wi-Fi Ah, the free Wi-Fi temptation. It’s everywhere — airports, cafés, shopping malls, and even on public transportation. It’s convenient, no doubt, and perfect for quick updates, checking maps, or sending a few emails. But be cautious. Public Wi-Fi can also be a hotspot for hackers. To safeguard yourself, always use a Virtual Private Network (VPN). A VPN encodes your data and keeps your online activity private. NordVPN and ExpressVPN are two popular options that offer both speed and security. 3. Download Maps and Offline Content in Advance Sure, this one doesn’t provide live internet access, but it’s a great way to stay connected to essential information without being online. You can also download movies, music, or books to enjoy without Wi-Fi. Imagine you’re lost in a city with no signal and no clue where you are. Offline maps can be a lifesaver! They also reduce your reliance on data when travelling in areas with limited connectivity. 21. What advantage does a local SIM card have? A. It offers fast internet. B. It is free of charge. C. It works worldwide. D. It includes VPN service. 22. Why is a VPN recommended for public Wi-Fi? A. It improves Wi-Fi speed greatly. B. It shields users’ data from hackers. C. It finds nearby Wi-Fi hotspots. D. It offers free mobile data. 23. What can we conclude about offline content? A. It works better with high-speed Wi-Fi-. B. It greatly lowers travelling expenses. C. It needs in-app payment for use. D. It helps when network is poor. B Wang Hong, a 35-year-old Chinese mathematician, made history in July 2026 by winning the Fields Medal at the International Congress of Mathematicians held in Philadelphia. Known as the “Nobel Prize of Mathematics”, the Fields Medal is awarded every four years to outstanding mathematicians under the age of 40. Wang has become the first Chinese female scholar to receive this top honor in the global mathematics community. Born in a small town in Guangxi, Wang showed exceptional academic talent in mathematics from an early age. She skipped grades twice during her primary school years due to her rapid learning ability. At the age of 16, she was admitted to Peking University. Though she initially enrolled in geophysics, she soon discovered her true passion lay in mathematics and transferred to the School of Mathematical Sciences. Driven by curiosity and perseverance, Wang continued her academic pursuit overseas. She obtained her master’s degrees from top French institutions and earned her doctorate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2019, under the guidance of Larry Guth, a leading expert in harmonic analysis. In 2025, she joined the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHES) in France, making her the first Asian tenured professor in the institute’s history. Wang’s research mainly focuses on harmonic analysis and geometric measure theory. Her most groundbreaking achievement is the full proof of the centuries-old Kakeya Conjecture, a tough problem that had puzzled mathematicians worldwide for decades. The complete research paper has provided new perspectives for combinatorial geometry and laid a solid foundation for follow-up studies in related fields. In her award speech, Wang shared her understanding of mathematics. “Mathematics has no borders and no gender. What matters most is the courage to explore and the persistence to stick to what you love.” She hoped her story could encourage more young people, especially girls, to step into scientific research and pursue their academic dreams bravely. 24. What do we know about the Fields Medal from Paragraph 1? A. For senior mathematicians. B. Top math-related honor. C. It offers big prize money. D. No Asian females won it before. 25. Why did Wang Hong transfer to study mathematics in Peking University? A. She disliked geophysics. B. She had early math talent. C. Math attracted her more. D. She failed geophysics tests. 26. Which of the following is Wang Hong’s landmark academic achievement? A. Solving the long-standing Kakeya Conjecture. B. Building the theory of harmonic analysis. C. Founding a new branch of geometry. D. Publishing the longest math research paper in history. 27. What quality does Wang Hong stress most in her speech? A. Courage and devotion B. Curiosity and tradition C. Caution and observation D. Ambition and cooperation C When Farin Kamangar was training as a physician in the 1980s, he asked patients about three lifestyle factors that could affect their health: alcohol, smoking and coffee. Though coffee didn’t have the same associations as smoking or drinking, Kamangar says, “the connotation was that this is not a good thing.” Recently, though, coffee drinkers keep getting good news. In 2026 alone, studies have found that coffee could reduce dementia risk, protect your liver and improve your gut microbiome. Kamangar, now an epidemiologist at Morgan State University, co-authored a 2025 literature review that drew on more than 100 studies and concluded “that moderate coffee intake is more beneficial than harmful across a wide range of health outcomes.” The American Heart Association has also acknowledged that coffee does little harm and may even benefit heart function. Systematic studies of the relationship started back in the late 1940s. So, why does the research keep changing? According to geneticist Marilyn Cornelis, scientists are simply conducting research better. In the 1970s and 1980s, several studies found negative relationships between coffee and health, including a popular 1981 paper that found an association between coffee drinking and pancreatic cancer. The study interviewed around 1,000 patients at a hospital and found that those with pancreatic cancer drank more coffee — but many members of the control group had other medical issues that prevented them from drinking coffee at all. Subsequent studies, including one by the same research team, failed to replicate the results. Modern researchers rely heavily on long-term group studies, which monitor tens of thousands of participants’ daily routines and health conditions over decades. Gregory Marcus argues that this type of evidence-based research has led to a “pendulum swing on caffeine,” and more accurately reflects the link between health and everyday habits. Even so, long-term group studies carry obvious limitations. Most participants in such research consume coffee rather than other caffeinated products. Researchers have abundant data on coffee, but popular caffeinated drinks like energy drinks remain poorly studied. Much more evidence is required before scientists can reliably assess how these other caffeine sources influence public health. 28. What did Kamangar’s 2025 literature review suggest? A. Coffee cures serious illnesses. B. Coffee equals alcohol in harm. C. Over 100 patients joined the study. D. Moderate coffee does more good. 29. Why was the 1981 study’s result unreliable? A. It failed to collect enough coffee-drinking patients. B. Its control group could not drink coffee due to illnesses. C. Researchers mixed up data from different hospitals. D. Participants hid their real drinking habits on purpose. 30. Why does the writer mention energy drinks in the last paragraph? A. To prove their greater benefits. B. To reject all caffeinated drinks. C. To show weak related evidence. D. To explain coffee’s popularity. 31. Which is the best title for the text? A. Lifestyle factors for public health B. Caffeine drinks among youngsters C. Errors in 1980s early research D. Shifting views on coffee’s effects D To have a coffee delivered to an office in Shanghai, simply ask one of China’s AI super-apps to choose a cup of coffee on your behalf, press “confirm” and the beverage will be on its way. Handing over such important decisions brings risks, of course. When a reporter asked one popular AI app to deliver a “special coffee”, he received a rose-petal-vinegar-flavoured one. Nevertheless, the pace with which such services are being adopted in China is remarkable. The country is speeding towards a future in which AI chooses, purchases and delivers many of the goods and services people consume, greatly changing its digital economy in the process. For China’s the tech giants, such as Alibaba, ByteDance, and Tencent, AI super-apps may offer an attractive new source of growth at a time when consumer spending in China is anaemic. Adjusted operating profit in Alibaba’s Chinese e-commerce division was down by 40% year on year in the first quarter of 2026. And although the company’s cloud business is booming, as enterprises spend more on its AI infrastructure, that growth requires enormous investment, putting pressure on cashflows. Tech giants are also making such moves for self-protection. ByteDance tried an AI-powered device in December when it launched a smartphone with ZTE, a device-maker, which came pre-loaded with an AI assistant. But despite an initial burst of enthusiasm, with around 30,000 of the devices produced, the project was a failure, in part because Alibaba and Tencent blocked it from using their payment platforms. That will not stop others from trying. Xiaomi and Huawei already have hundreds of millions of users. If Alibaba and Tencent attempted to slow down their AI-driven business development, China’s regulators might well intervene. As China’s internet enters its next era, a bitter fight for dominance is coming. 32. What can we learn from the coffee-ordering example? A. AI super-apps avoid ordering errors. B. AI decisions may have unexpected results. C. AI coffee delivery is nationwide. D. The reporter loved the special coffee. 33.What does the underlined word “anaemic” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Weak B. Sharply rising C. Fully recovered D. Completely destroyed 34.Why did ByteDance’s smartphone project with ZTE turn out to be a failure? A. It faced tight funding limits. B. Its AI assistant drew public dislike. C. Other firms blocked its payment access. D. ByteDance shifted focus to software. 35.What is the main theme of the text? A. The risks of using AI super-apps for daily online shopping. B. Reasons for Alibaba’s falling profit in its e-commerce department. C. Advantages of smartphones equipped with artificial-intelligence assistants. D. Tech giants’ pursuit of AI super-apps and the coming fierce competition. 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。 Forest bathing. Soft hiking. You do not have to be capital-O outdoorsy to know that stepping outside can feel incredibly restorative. You might water some herbs, take a quick walk or simply sit by the beach. Here are a few ways to bring more nature into your life. Head for the trees. Getting outside in any form can be helpful, but spending time in a park may offer additional benefits. It does not have to be a large or beautiful park. 36.______ One study found that adults who walked through a natural area experienced less rumination than people who walked along a busy urban route. Another study found that walking in nature was linked to lower anxiety and better memory. Check on your plant babies. When getting outdoors is difficult, indoor plants may bring a small part of nature into your home. One small study found that repotting a plant reduced activity in the sympathetic nervous system, which is involved in the body’s response to stress. 37.______ A separate review linked indoor plants with signs of physical relaxation, although many of the studies involved were small. 38.______ If you are short on outdoor time, nature may still be able to come to you digitally. Research suggests that looking at natural landscapes in photographs and videos may help the body relax and reduce feelings of stress. Even having a view through a window may offer some benefits. You could watch a nature documentary, hang a picture of your favorite beach or choose a desk overlooking a tree-lined street. 39.______ They may provide some of the calming effects of nature. Build nature into your schedule Think about where nature could fit into your own schedule. Could you get off public transportation one stop early and walk through a park? Could you hold a meeting while walking around the block? Or could you spend part of your lunch break sitting beneath a tree? 40.______ You do not need a dramatic mountain view or an entire day in the forest. Sometimes a few trees, a houseplant or several quiet minutes watching birds are enough to help your mind slow down. A. Once outdoor time becomes part of your routine, it requires less planning. B. These experiences are not complete replacements for going outside. C. Search for natural pictures online on your computer. D. Add some green to your screen. E. Natural scenery can greatly improve your mood. F. Participants also experienced lower blood pressure. G. A few trees and some greenery may be enough to change how you feel. 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。 I was born in the village of Mugaja, DR Congo.

She was new to our school, but she didn’t seem shy or nervous. She smiled at everyone, even on the first day of class. Unluckily, we only got to enjoy that smile for the first three days of school. Our teacher told us that Katrina had cancer (癌症) and would be in the hospital. Some of my friends in my class and I decided to go to see her in the hospital. She had just moved to a new town and didn’t even get a chance to make friends with anyone yet. We wanted to keep her company. That was how we came to know Katrina and how much fun she really was. It was awkward at first because we didn’t know what to talk about, but when she started telling us about her hospital adventures, we were all laughing. And before we knew it, we had been there for almost three hours. She told us about the kid in the room next to her who would get up and pull the fire alarm for absolutely no reason. And sure enough, while we were sitting with her, the fire alarm went off. We all laughed when nobody feared and escaped. And she told us how much she missed her little animals: a rabbit, a bird, cats, dogs, etc. Later, her mom told us that her favorite thing was to go to the Humane Society and adopt (收养) the poorest animal. She always managed to take it home and make it beautiful. After that day, we continued visiting her. We could see she was hopeful that she would eventually recover. However, during one of our visits, she learned from doctors that she only had a 50% chance to recover. She was quite scared, crying, “I don’t want to die.” And we heard her family was having economic problems and that her single mom was having little time to help take care of her animals. Suddenly, she felt her world became dark; she grew anxious and helpless. We told her we were there to fight with her. We wouldn’t let her go. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式作答。 After returning to school, we wondered how to support her. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ Finally, her cancer was gone and she would go home on her birthday and have a party. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026—2027学年度高二（上）10月阶段测试试卷答案 听力：1-5 CCBCB 6-10 ACCBC 11-15 ACAAB 16-20 CCACB 阅读理解：21-23 ABD 24-28 BCAA 29-31 DBCD 32-35 BACD 七选五：36-40 GFDBA 完形填空：41-45 BACDB 46-50 BDACC 51-55 ADABD 语法填空：56. have been added 57. held 58. with 59. continuously 60. director 61. a 62. how 63. showing 64. which 65. but 应用文写作： Dear Mr. Smith, I regret to inform you that the “Chinese and Foreign Cultural Differences” exchange event, originally scheduled for this Friday afternoon, will need to be postponed due to an unexpected scheduling conflict. The school’s sports competition, announced just yesterday, requires all students and teachers to participate, making it impossible to proceed with our event as intended. The event has been rescheduled for next Friday afternoon at 3:00 PM in the Lecture Hall. This alternative date avoids conflicts with other activities and allows sufficient time for promotion. Please let me know if this works for you. Expecting your reply. Yours, Li Hua 读后续写： After returning to school, we wondered how to support her. Soon, we worked out ways. The next day, we started a fundraiser, which saw that all students, parents, and staff were enthusiastic. That day, we ended up raising over $ 4,500. To further support Katrina, we took her animals home and helped take care of them. Moreover, we visited her as much as we could. And we gave her cards and gifts to cheer her up. Her room looked like a gift shop after a while. Gradually, Katrina became more hopeful and her smiles returned. Finally, her cancer was gone and she would go home on her birthday and have a party. We were all excited to be invited to her party. On her birthday, we brought Katrina cakes, gifts, etc. And we celebrated her birthday and her success in survival by dancing, singing songs and playing games. Katrina and her mother quite thanked us for our support during their hardest time. Days later, when Katrina became strong enough, she returned to school and had fun with us again. We were already more than just classmates; we were also close friends. 听力原文 Text1 M: Look, the workers are offering AR glasses to visitors. You can view the old pictures by the glasses. W: Amazing. Let’s have a try while there are still afternoon openings left. Text 2 W: The women’s volleyball match starts at 3:30 this afternoon. We’ve got only 20 minutes to go. Hurry up! M: Take it easy. Max told me this morning the match has been delayed for an hour. Text3 W: Did you watch the football match last night? M: Absolutely! It was thrilling. Sophia made a back pass to the goalkeeper. However, Dorothy showed amazing speed and cut off the ball. W: Yes! She passed it quickly to Margaret who then kicked the ball and managed to score. Text 4 M: What would you like to do in your lifetime? W: I want to travel to Mars. I think that would be the most amazing thing I ever do in life. What about you? M: I want to write a book about films. Text 5 M: I’m not prepared for the English competition, and I will just make a fool of myself on the stage. I don’t want to take part in it. W: What? Stephen, you said you would bring down the house in the beginning. Text 6 W: You don’t look well. What troubles you, Daniel? M: Well, you know, our music teacher has asked me to prepare something for the city piano competition. I have chosen a piece of Beethoven’s music. W: That is great, Daniel.

The students who do the best are usually the ones who study the hardest. W: Yes, I’ve known a few kids who take their talents for granted and haven’t really pushed themselves, and they ended up falling behind. Turn talents into their advantages, not into excuses. M: Yes. Think about athletes. Behind the gold medal, there must be sweat and tears. Text 8 W: So, I’ve decided to make a wish list like I was telling you. I’ve put down some ideas, but now I can’t think of anything else. Any ideas? M: Have you ever been on a hot-air balloon ride? W: No, I haven’t.
