If faith has a color, it must be Chinese red." V. Guided Writing 56. Dear Student Union, I am writing to share my thoughts on the upcoming stress-relief week. Were I to cast my vote, I would unhesitatingly opt for the immersive psychological carnival. First and foremost, the psychological carnival can provide targeted emotional relief for all students. Not only does it offer a tranquil sanctuary for those exhausted by endless exams, but it also caters to students who are unwilling to engage in vigorous physical activities. A quiet space to unwind is far more appealing than a noisy sports ground. Furthermore, cultivating long-term emotional resilience is indispensable for teenagers. Should we participate in the meditation and graffiti sessions, we would learn practical techniques to manage anxiety. These immersive experiences empower us to translate temporary relaxation into lifelong coping strategies. In conclusion, while the fun sports meeting has its merits, the psychological carnival is undeniably more conducive to our holistic well-being. Only by prioritizing mental health can we truly navigate the overwhelming pressure of academic life. Yours sincerely, Li Ming 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 复旦大学附属中学2025学年第一学期 高二年级英语学科11月第一次阶段性教学质量评估试卷 I. Grammar and Vocabulary Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. SeaOrbiter Staring out of your bedroom window, you watch as a great white shark swims by. Soon an octopus comes into view, followed by a jellyfish. You're on the SeaOrbiter, one of the most high-tech vessels (船) ever 1 (create) for ocean exploration. The 60-meter-tall vessel has an unusual design. The top half is above the ocean's surface, while the bottom is underwater. Unlike a ship, the SeaOrbiter is so energy-efficient that it 2 stay in the water for long periods without returning to land to refuel. "Scientists can observe the oceans for months or even years 3 end," SeaOrbiter operations director Bill Todd says. While other vessels make a lot of noise as they move through water, the SeaOrbiter will be quiet. 4 the vessel won't make much noise, it will pick up plenty. Super-sensitive underwater recorders will capture sounds from marine life, such as whales that are too far below the vessel 5 (see). Check out some of the SeaOrbiter's coolest features: The Lab An egg-shaped space with three levels, the above-water marine lab will have several aquariums (水族馆). These will contain small marine animals that scientists can view up close. They can also use the high-tech lab equipment to test pollution levels in seawater. Power Sources The SeaOrbiter will mostly run on solar and wind energy. Its motors will only be turned on 6 necessary, such as when entering a port. "The vessel is very eco-friendly." Todd says. "Our goal is to study the ocean without changing it." Divers' Delight The diving equipment room is located seven meters above the ocean. After putting on scuba gear (潜水装置), scientists will be able to take an outdoor elevator and go 12 meters below the water's surface. Remotely Operated Vehicles Below the surface are Remotely Operated Vehicles, devices 7 let scientists explore underwater mountains, canyons, and even shipwrecks without leaving the vessel. These vehicles can travel deep into the ocean while 8 (send) live video back to the SeaOrbiter. When the SeaOrbiter 9 (launch), it will sail to remote parts of oceans. It will move with the currents while scientists conduct research. This vessel, says Todd, "will help us uncover 10 is hidden in the sea." Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. acknowledged B. celebrate C. competition D. creature E. endure F. individual G. named H. odds I. prejudice J. relative K. underdeveloped Animal Olympics Athleticism, speed, strength, power, endurance: Humans 11 these qualities in such events as the Olympic Games. In the animal kingdom, however, these qualities are necessary for the welfare and survival of the 12 and society. Marathon The Olympic Marathon, covering a distance of 26 miles, doesn't come close to the marathons some animals 13 . Take the Arctic tern, for instance. It migrates between the North and South Poles, covering a distance of as much as 30,000 miles each and every year. Some birds spend long durations, even most of their lives, in flight. Swifts, for example, have very 14 legs and live almost entirely on the wing. Some seabirds, such as the sooty tern, fly for years without landing. The wandering albatross is 15 for its ability to fly thousands of miles on feeding trips. Diving The sperm whale is generally 16 to be the deepest diving mammal, but the northern bottlenose whale is not far behind. The sperm whale is known to dive a mile (5,280 feet) or deeper and to stay under for durations over two hours. The bottlenose is said to dive at least 5,000 feet and is also able to remain underwater for two hours. If the two were competing in an Olympic event, the 17 would be about even. There is little 18 for the deepest diving bird: it is the emperor penguin, which can dive to a depth of 1,770 feet. Outside of the penguin family, the thick-billed murre may be one of the emperor's nearest competitors; it is thought to dive to 600-700 feet. Weightlifting No animal on earth can lift as much weight as the African elephant, which can pick up a one-ton weight with its trunk. However, 19 to body size, the elephant doesn't even come close to the strongest animal on earth. What is it? The rhinoceros beetle. This rather strange-looking little 20 can transport objects weighing 850 times its own body weight. The elephant, carrying only one fourth of its body weight, isn't even close in this contest. II. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. The spread of mindfulness has been little short of remarkable. Originating in Buddhist practices that date back over 2,000 years, it was relatively 21 in the West until just a few years ago and practised only by a handful of enthusiasts. Recently, however, it has emerged as a multi-billion dollar industry and has been accepted by everyone from celebrities and business leaders to doctors and parents. So what exactly is mindfulness and how is it supposed to work? Well, 22 it's a meditation therapy (冥想疗法) designed to train people to focus fully on inner processes occurring in the here and now. Evidence is slowly mounting of its 23 to solve a range of health problems. For instance, it's been claimed that it can break the cycle of depression and anxiety. People suffering from depression often find their negative moods are accompanied by negative thoughts. While these thoughts usually disappear once the episode has passed or once medication has been prescribed (开方), a (n) 24 between the various symptoms has nevertheless been established in the brain. As a result, a mood change caused by something unimportant such as bad weather can cause the symptoms, 25 a re-occurrence of depression. The more this happens, the more likely it is to re-occur, making the problem more 26 to drug treatment. Mindfulness-based therapies encourage sufferers to break this downward tendency by 27 these patterns of thought and then focusing their minds on the present instead of the past or future. This can also bring about 28 benefits too: the heart beats slower, muscles loosen and even brain structure may possibly be altered. Mindfulness is believed to stimulate new neural connections and studies have shown that the areas of the brain associated with the regulation of 29 are bigger in those who regularly practise meditation. The spread of mindfulness shows the 30 many Western health professionals take in Eastern practices. Thanks to western medicine, during the 20th century, life expectancy doubled in developed countries and many infectious diseases disappeared. However, while death may have been 31 , many are now living longer not in health but in sickness. Western medical practice is often less 32 at dealing with long-term illness and general well-being. Unless you are in terrible pain or have something life threatening, Western doctors often have little to offer. 33 , many dismiss patients with low-level complaints as 'the worried well'. Eastern medicine such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), on the other hand, is more focused on maintaining good health. TCM is underpinned by a 34 that stresses harmony between mind, body and the environment. It aims to 'rebalance' patients and unblock natural energy flows called 'chi', and is apparently more 35 in relieving more minor conditions such as eczema, back pain and migraines. 21. A. straightforward B. expensive C. unknown D. unlimited 22. A. as a result B. after all C. in essence D. in other words 23. A. failure B. opposition C. willingness D. potential 24.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. （A） The way I came to miss the end of the world was just accident. I was in hospital. Chance played it not only that I should be there at that particular time, but that my eyes should be enclosed in bandages (绷带). This morning I was feeling annoyed because someone should begin to wash and tidy me up at exactly three minutes after 7 a.m. That was one of the best reasons I had for appreciating a private room. In a public ward the proceeding would have taken place a whole unnecessary hour earlier. But here, today, clocks of varying reliability were continuing to strike eight in all directions – and still nobody had shown up. Much as I disliked the washing process, its failure to occur was very worrying. Besides, it was normally a close forerunner of breakfast, and I was feeling hungry. The day outside, I realised now, was sounding even more wrong than I had thought. Why the founders of St Merryn's Hospital chose to build their institution at a main-road crossing upon a valuable office site, I never properly understood. The traffic had to be heard. I had to fight down the same feeling of fear that I had had when I was a kid crying in the dark and when I had been too scared to put even a foot out of bed. The temptation to lift the bandages – just enough to get some idea of what on earth could be happening – was huge. But I controlled it. For one thing, it was a far less simple matter than it sounded. It wasn't just a case of lifting a blindfold: there were a lot of pads and bandages. Some little while must have passed, but after a bit I found myself looking once more for a possible explanation for the silence. I became absolutely convinced that it was Wednesday. For the previous day had been notable. You'll find it in the records that on Tuesday, May 7, the Earth's orbit passed through a cloud of comet debris (彗星碎片). I was in no state to see what happened myself. All that I actually know is that I had to listen to eyewitness accounts of what was considered to be the greatest free fireworks display ever. And yet, until the thing actually began, nobody had ever heard a word about this comet. It was reported in the news bulletins during the day that mysterious bright green flashes had been seen in the Californian skies the previous night. 36. What can we learn about the writer from the first paragraph? A. He was keen to have his bandages changed. B. He was regretful he had not been put in a ward. C. He liked the sense of routine he found in the hospital. D. He felt he no longer needed to be in hospital. 37. What does the writer say about the location of the hospital? A. It was at a busy place where roads met. B. It was next to a large office block. C. It was at the top of a steep hill. D. It was beside a motorway. 38. What does the writer mean by "I controlled it" in paragraph 3? A. He managed to resist his wish to take a look. B. He tried to fight against his feeling of fear. C. He held back his need to get out of bed. D. He checked his desire to cry out. 39. What does the writer say about Tuesday, May 7? A. A comet made its expected appearance. B. The hospital had held a fireworks display. C. What happened on that day is well documented. D. He had no memory of the unusual happenings on that day. （B） When we are trying to persuade people in formal speaking and writing, it is important to state a clear thesis. A thesis is the main point that we want to persuade our audience about. It states a position we are taking, and which we will present arguments to support. For example, someone might write to a clothes manufacturer with the thesis, "The working conditions in your factory should be improved." What are the features of a good thesis? GOOD THESIS: It is just as important for girls to go to school as it is for boys. This thesis is something that we can make a case for, that we can argue. Some people might think that girls will just get married and have a family, so they don't need to have an education. Other people think that there are good reasons for women to be educated. BAD THESIS: Girls get higher marks in high school English exams. This is a weak thesis because it just states a fact. No reasonable person would disagree after they are shown the evidence, so there is no reason to argue for it. BAD THESIS: People in our village need to be educated about clean drinking water, and they need a maternal health clinic. This thesis has two ideas, not one. We can persuade people better by separating these points. One essay or speech can persuade the reader that education about clean drinking water is important, and the other essay or speech can try to convince people of the need for a maternal health clinic. GOOD THESIS: People in our village need to be educated about clean drinking water. There is one clear point to this thesis – that people need to learn about clean drinking water. BAD THESIS: Australia has a lot of problems. This thesis is too broad. Australia is a very big country with many things to talk about. If you try to cover unequal distribution of wealth, agriculture, the environment, education and pollution in the cities, your essay will need hundreds of pages of evidence to persuade people. BETTER THESIS: Australia's climate has caused many problems. This thesis is better because it is more specific. Now you only need to find evidence for the effects of Australia's climate and how this can be related to the problems faced by Australians. You can talk about the other points another time. 40. Which of the following statements is a thesis? A. Fish supply in the ocean is declining. B. The summer vacation starts next Monday. C. It would be a good decision for your company to hire me. D. The city skyline is filled with towering skyscrapers and architectural marvels. 41. Match the following statements with the feature of a good thesis each of them fails to have. ① Girls get higher marks in high school English exams. ② People in our village need to be educated about clean drinking water, and they need a maternal health clinic. ③ Australia has a lot of problems. a. A good thesis is specific. b. A good thesis clearly states a position on an issue that people have different views on. c. A good thesis focuses on one main point. A. ①→a ②→b ③→c B. ①→b ②→c ③→a C. ①→c ②→a ③→b D. ①→b ②→a ③→c 42. According to the last feature of a good thesis, which of the following thesis statements is the improved version of the thesis statement: Australia has a lot of problems? A. Australia's climate has drawn many tourists. B. Australia's climate is changing greatly nowadays. C. Australia has a lot of problems caused by its climate. D. Australia has done a lot to address its climate problems. （C） When antibiotics (抗生素) first became available, farmers used them freely. Now scientists know that the overuse of antibiotics can cultivate drug-resistant bacteria that are dangerous to human health. Among debates over what kinds of restrictions should be put in place, figuring out how antibiotic-resistant bacteria evolve and make their way to humans remains an area of intense interest. Jo Handelsman is tracing one such pathway that, as she puts it, travels from "farm to table." Handelsman, a microbiologist who is now associate director for science at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, looked into dairy cows, which are often treated with antibiotics and produce manure (排泄物) that farmers use on their crops. In addition to nutrients, that fertilizer may harbor antibiotic-resistant bacteria – a problem because the bacteria can come into contact with plants that are finally shipped to supermarkets and sometimes eaten raw. To find out how those antibiotic-resistant bacteria come to exist, Handelsman and her colleagues at Yale University added manure from a nearby Connecticut farm to raised beds of soil in 2013. In this case, the manure specifically came from cows that were not treated with antibiotics. The researchers unexpectedly found that there were more soil bacteria carrying antibiotic-resistant genes when they were grown with the manure than when they were grown with synthetic nitrogen-based fertilizer – even though the cows were drug-free. Previous research has found that manure from pigs treated with antibiotics contains resistant bacteria, but the cow-pie results suggest there are more factors promoting resistance besides antibiotic use. Something about manure itself may encourage naturally resistant bacteria to increase. The findings should not, however, give the impression that resistance is everywhere, notes Lance Price, a microbiologist at George Washington University (who was not involved in the study). "We can control this. There's very clear evidence that when we turn off the antibiotic tap, we bring down drug-resistant bacteria," says Lance. Next on the farm-to-table schedule, Handelsman will test whether radishes grown in soil treated with cow manure are capable of taking up resistant genes from bacteria through their vascular system (循环系统). "They have veins (血管) just like us," she says. "We don't have any evidence yet that they're taking up the bacteria, but it's a really interesting possibility." 43. What does Jo Handelsman's research focus on? A. How antibiotics make their way onto our table. B. What restrictions should be put to antibiotics use. C. How antibiotic-resistant bacteria reach human beings. D. What damage the overuse of antibiotics does to humans. 44. What did Jo's research find? A. Drug-free cows produced manure with antibiotic-resistant bacteria. B. Synthetic nitrogen-based fertilizer did more good to the environment. C. Soil bacteria carrying antibiotic-resistant genes were increasing with time. D. Manure from pigs treated with antibiotics contained fewer resistant bacteria. 45. Lance Price is quoted in the passage in order to A. provide more evidence that drug-resistance bacteria are dangerous B. suggest another possible explanation to the antibiotics problems C. emphasize the importance of feeding cows with no antibiotics D. show that the research findings may not be that worrisome 46. Which of the following statements is Jo most likely to agree with? A. It is very likely that widespread resistance to antibiotics is not inevitable. B. Plants grown in soil fertilized with cow manure may contain drug-resistant genes. C. There is possibility that radishes take up resistant genes wherever they are planted. D. The vascular system plays a key role in guarding radishes against bacteria. Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Is It Smarter Than a Seven-month-old? A. Instead, he writes a program that can learn for itself, and then shows that program thousands of pictures of stop signs. B. The high-tech vision system has the potential to be more successful than humans in detecting dangerous situations. C. How to give AI at least some appearance of that understanding – the reasoning ability of a seven-month-old child, perhaps – is now a matter of active research. D. Programmers have developed procedures that behave like the neurons (神经元) in a brain. They can "learn" from the actions taken in previous situations and infer what to do in a new, similar situation. E. This understanding of "object permanence", is a normal developmental milestone, as well as a basic principle of reality. F. Similar techniques are used to train self-driving cars to operate in traffic. By the age of seven months, most children have learned that objects still exist even when they are out of sight. Put a toy under a blanket and a child that old will know it is still there, and that he can reach underneath the blanket to get it back. 47 It is also something that self-driving cars do not have. And that is a problem. Autonomous vehicles are getting better, but they still don't understand the world in the way that a human being does. For a self-driving car, a bicycle that is momentarily hidden by a passing van is a bicycle that has ceased to exist. This failing is basic to the now-widespread computing discipline that has claimed to be the slightly misleading name of artificial intelligence (AI). Current AI works by building up complex statistical models of the world, but it lacks a deeper understanding of reality. 48 Modern AI is based on the idea of machine learning. If an engineer wants a computer to recognize a stop sign, he does not try to write thousands of lines of code that describe every pattern of pixels (像素) which could possibly indicate such a sign. 49 Over many repetitions, the program gradually works out what features all of these pictures have in common. 50 Cars thus learn how to obey lane markings, avoid other vehicles, hit the brakes at a red light and so on. But they do not understand many things a human driver takes for granted – that other cars on the road have engines and four wheels, or that they obey traffic regulations (usually) and the laws of physics (always). And they do not understand object permanence. III. Summary Writing Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. 51. Breaking up is hard to do but men's hearts hurt most When it comes to break-ups, men suffer more emotional pain than women, a study has found. The first-of-its-kind analysis used online relationships to map the most common problems experienced by couples who told their stories outside the therapist's office. A team of researchers at Lancaster University helped to produce the report. Charlotte Entwistle, the lead author, said: "Most of what we know comes from studies of people in couples therapy: a specific set of people. We wanted to understand not only what relationship problems are most commonly experienced by the public, but who experiences which problems more." To bridge the gap, the team analysed the characteristics of more than 184,000 people who had posted their problems to an anonymous online forum, and they created a "map" of the most common issues. Communication was the most frequent, cited by nearly one in five people, while one in eight reported that trust was a struggle. The outcomes came as no surprise but the team was taken aback at the obvious gender differences. The theme that kept cropping up was the "heartache" felt, and the team recorded specific words such as "regret", "break up", "cry", and "heart-broken". Contrary to expectation, men talked about heartbreak significantly more than women. The findings suggest that the stereotype of men being less emotionally invested in relationships may be inaccurate. The researchers also found that men were more likely to seek online professional help. Dr Ryan Boyd, the lead researcher, said: "When you remove the traditional social stigmas against men for seeking help and sharing their emotions, they seem just as invested in working through rough patches in their relationships as women." The researchers hope that an accurate picture of relationship problems could help couples avoid common setbacks. Boyd said: "This gives us serious hope that we can use help-seeking behavior to better understand all types of social and psychological issues." The study was published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships. IV.
