Mom had a sewing space at home.She taught me to make tiny eloth bedding and blankets for the dollhouse.With paint and glue,she showed me that simple objects could become dollhouse furniture.As a girl,I spent hours creating miniatures (and inventing stories for it.Later,schoolwork took up most of my time,so we moved the dollhouse to the attic ) Over the next 40 years,the storytelling skills I'd practiced with the dollhouse grew into novel writing skills,and I developed a career as an author.One day,I took a break by surfing the Internet and happened to notice the beautiful dollhouses people posted on social media.They reminded me of mine.I went to the attic,brought it back to my room and started updating it. During the mindless hours of sewing and furnishing(布置家具)，I listened to audiobooks about the history of dollhouses,leamning that they were not invented for play.There's a long,rich history of people in hardship turning to dollhouses to find comfort.They weren't produced as toys until mass production became standard after 1945.This inspired me to create a novel where art saves the day. The truth was I myself needed art to save the day.Mom was then slipping away from me owing to progressive memory loss.The only topic we could discuss with any genuine joy was the update of the dollhouse.She loved retelling its history-those old memories.Mom didn't find it strange at all that her 50-year-old daughter was updating the dollhouse.She just thought it fun and beautiful.And it was.It was a world where Mom and I were at our best together. 高二英语试卷第4页共10页 24.What did the author's mother teach her to do? A.To sew cloth items for the dollhouse. B.To make up fairy tales set in the dollhouse. C.To create simple objects into dollhouse furniture. D.To do oil paintings and glue them onto the little walls 25.Why did the author decide to update the dollhouse decades later? A.She intended to follow the trend on social media B.She was eager to start a new career as a toy designer. C.She felt the urge to compete with other dollhouse makers. D.She was inspired by people sharing their dollhouses online. 26.What did the author learn about dollhouses from the audiobooks? A.They were initially created for play.

C Excess packaging(过度包装)，often called"slack filling"',is common on supermarket shelves.Many products carry far more wrapping than necessary for safety or transport.A 2024 study published in Cambridge Prisms examined 366 packaged goods from 24 countries and found that 38 percent of their packaging served no practical function.Candy and baked snacks topped the list at 42 percent,followed by household cleaners at 40 percent,while pet food stood at 39 percent.The researchers argue that much of this slack filling is not accidental.Producers sometimes under-fill containers deliberately,because a half-empty box can signal higher value and justify a higher price. Switching to paper or plant-based plastics is often proposed as a quick solution.Yet researchers warn against this.Paper production usually requires more energy and water,and most papers are not waterproof.So-called biodegradable(可生物降解的)plastics typically break down only under strict industrial conditions.In ordinary landfills or the sea,they can remain almost as long as conventional plastic.Worse,if mixed with regular plastic waste,they may pollute recycling streams. 高二英语试卷第5页共10页 Consumers also tend to overestimate the power of recycling.In reality,packaging stained with oil,sauce or sugar is routinely rejected by recycling plants.Traces of food ruin the plastic, so even carefully sorted waste may still be buried or burned. The study concludes that real progress depends on producers rather than shoppers alone. Rules that limit non-functional packaging,refillable container programmes and redesigned product structures are far more effective.Still,industry change faces barriers:brand image,shelf display needs and supply-chain costs.Cutting surplus plastic at the source will therefore require joint efforts from policymakers,businesses and customers alike. 28.What does the study suggest about "slack filling"? A.It is mostly created to cut production costs. B.It is often used to sort out different products. C.It is usually designed to draw shoppers'attention. D.It is sometimes done by producers for higher profits. 29.Why is food-stained plastic hard to recycle? A.Food leftovers may damage the plastic material. B.It is hard for customers to separate the food waste. C.Few recycling plants can sort plastic waste properly. D.Recycling plants can be damaged by strong chemicals. 30.What is the main purpose of the text? A.To explain why the packaging industry resists change. B.To suggest new standards for the recycling of plastic products C.To show that cutting surplus packaging needs system-wide action. D.To argue that eco-friendly materials cannot help cut packaging waste. D In today's motivational literature,failure is often viewed as something to be celebrated. Inspirational speakers are fond of quoting the words of the novelist Samuel Beckett-"Fail again. Fail better."It seems that disappointments are an essential stepping stone to success,a turning point in our life story that will ultimately end in victory. Howeyer,psychological researches find most of us struggle to handlo failure constructively. In other words,we fail to "fail forward",We find ways to dovalue tho task at whioh wo failed. and become less motivated to persevere()and reach our goals.This phonomonon is known as the "sour-grape effect",which was discovorcd by Profossor Hallgoir Sjastad. 高二英语试嵇第6页共10页 Sjastad explains that "sour-grape effect"is a self-protective mechanism()."Most of us picture ourselves as able people,so when feedback from others suggests the opposite,it poses a serious threat to that self-image,"he says."The easiest way out is to deny or explain away the outside signal,so we can keep a positive sense of self.We do this even without noticing." If you have one bad interview for your dream job,you might convince yourself that you don't really want it at all,and stop applying for similar positions.The same goes if you fail to impress at a sports trial,or if you lose a singing contest."We tend to explain away our shortcomings and convince ourselves our 'Plan C'is actually our 'Plan A',"Sjastad says. It doesn't mean we should persevere in goals all the time.It can be healthy to change if the process is no longer making us happy.But the"sour-grape effect"may lead us to come to this decision prematurely,rather than hanging on a little and seeing whether we might learn and improve. Failures are unavoidable.By learning to face the disappointment instead of devaluing its importance and pretending nothing happened,however,you may find it easier to achieve your goals. 31.Why does the author mention Beckett's words in Paragraph 1? A.To provide an approach to handle failure. B.To introduce a common attitude towards failure. C.To emphasize the importance of experiencing failure. D.To discuss the relationship between success and failure. 32.What can we learn from Paragraph 3 about the "sour-grape effect"? A.It does harm to our self-image.B.It pictures us as perfect people C.It protects us from false feedback.D.It makes us refuse negative feedback. 33.What does the underlined word "prematurely"in Paragraph 5 mean? A.Hurriedly B.Mistakenly C.Unhappily D.Carelessly 34.Which statement would the author most probably agree with? A.Get ready to replace“Plan A”with“Plan C". B.Never forget to maintain a positive sense of self. C.Don't quit when goals no longer make you happy. D.Don't escape when our self-image gets challenged. 高二英语试卷第7页共10页 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡 上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How Exercise Shapes Your Sleep We often hear that active days lead to restful nights.Indeed,exercise reduces stress hormones,stabilizes the biological clock and improves sleep quality.35.Some worry that high-intensity()sports or late-night trips to the gym may be harmful to sleep. Luckily,researchers spent a lot of time studying these questions.Here are some useful findings to help you use exercise to improve your sleep naturally. Timing and regularity matter 36.A study showed that doing 30 to 60 minutes of high-intensity exercise within four hours of bedtime can harm your deep sleep and reduce total sleep time,especially if done right before bed.On the other hand,low-intensity evening activities like walking or gentle yoga do not seem to break sleep and may bring small improvements. Choose something you enjoy If you're wondering what type of exercise is best for promoting sleep health,don't sweat it. 37.Some research suggests that Pilates()may have slightly stronger advantages for sleep compared with other types of exercise because it combines movement with breathing.Yet a wide range of activities from tai chi to running have been shown to improve sleep,so picking something you enjoy is most important. Don't skimp克扣)on sleep so you can hit the gym Studies show that the time we spend exercising often directly competes with our sleep.But sacrificing your sleep to make more time for exercise has serious disadvantages.38.For instance,cutting down on sleep to exercise can make you eat more food,while also reducing the amount of fat you lose if you are on a diet.Sufficient sleep is also key to boosting physical performance,minimizing injuries and restoring your muscles. If you have sleep issues,physical activity can help To help people with sleep problems,researchers suggested 150 minutes of moderate exercise a week,which could be as simple as 30 minutes of walking five days a week.39 These benefits seemed to be more obvious with higher intensity exercise.For people with sleep apnea(呼吸暂停)，regular exercise also reduces the number of fatty bodies by about20 percent,, which makes it an effective additional treatmont. 高二英语试卷第8项共10页 A.Timing of exercise is important.

What is oversharing?(It is linked with social media,but not limited to it.For example, someone may share private life details too soon at a party.Therapist Carolyn Cole says oversharing may come from a strong desire to connect with others. Dr Christopher Hand,a lecturer in cyberpsychology,says the more details people disclose, the less sympathy we express when things go wrong.This could be due to a belief that we attract our own negative experiences the more we share them.It seems that sadfishing,the idea of searching for sympathy by oversharing is generally perceived as negative rather than the cry for help it could actually be. However,Dr Hand's research also seems to suggest that the more we post on a platform, the more socially attractive we become一provided that the posts we bang out(匆匆发出)are positive.Gwendolyn Seidman PhD said we should avoid whining ()being negative or showing off online,especially about our love lives.It makes sense-if your date is going 'that well',would you really have time to share a photo with text? So,how can you know if you are oversharing'Well,why not ask your friends in real life They would probably be more than happy to tell you if your posts about your breakfast or your gripes about your lack of money really are too much. 高二英语试卷第9页共10页 40.According to Carolyn Cole,.what causes oversharing?(不多于十一个单词) 41.What do people generally think of sadfishing?(不多于六个单词) 42.What kind of online posts can help people be more socially attractive?(不多于两个单词) 43.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?(不多于八个单词) 第二节选词填空（共4小题；每小题1分，共4分）》 用所给词组正确形式完成下列句子。 have access to;be tired of;be responsible for;associate with 44.I get an ever-ending flow of messages from people I online. 45.The thing about being a teacher is that you children's minds when they are.open and eager to learn. 46.The judge listening to all the speeches,noting down any positive or negative aspects for each one. 47.Jason being regarded as living a successful life,as a person who have anything while others have nothing. 第三节写作(20分) 假设你是红星中学高二学生李华。你校上周开展了“与杰出人物虚拟对话”(Virtual Conversation with Outstanding Figures)主题活动，你的外国好友Jim对此很感兴趣，发来 邮件询问有关情况。请你用英文给他回复，内容包括： 1. 你对话的杰出人物是谁： 2.你们对话的主要内容： 3. 你的收获或感悟。 注意： 1.词数100左右； 2.开头、结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 高二英语试卷第10页共10页
