This time last year, I was still going to the beach. M: Well, this is hardly beach weather! Although, I saw on the forecast it will be much warmer starting from the weekend. 【原文】M: Hi Mary. I heard you received a prize for your book. Congratulations. W: Thank you, John. I won a prize for best local history book at the yearly book award. M: You must be very proud of your achievement. W: Not really. Actually, I am really happy just to get the book published. Winning the prize is an added reward. 【原文】W: I saw a fantastic programme on TV last night. It was about Brunel. Did you see it? M: No. Who’s Brunel? Isn’t he that boxer? W: Not that one. Brunel was an engineer. He built lots of famous bridges. 【原文】M: Cara, where are you from? W: I’m from Glasgow. M: Oh, really? My mom’s also from Glasgow, so I’m half Scottish. But now we live in Tallinn, my father’s hometown. W: Oh. That’s a beautiful city. 【原文】W: James, you come from America, right? I can tell by your accent. M: No. Actually I was born in London. But I was brought up in Australia. I finally settled in New York ten years ago. 【原文】W: How was your holiday in New Zealand, Peter? You spent a whole month there. M: Yeah, it was amazing. W: Tell me more about it. M: We stayed in Wellington for a week. Then we flew to Auckland, where we spent the rest of the holiday exploring natural scenic spots. There, we saw a lot of wildlife. We also went hiking and set up camp at night. W: Oh, I hope I can go there one day! M: The best time to go to Auckland is in October when it welcomes its most beautiful season. But the hotels might be more expensive because a large group of people will also take trips then. 【原文】W: Jim, do you have any recommendations for museums in Shanghai that are suitable for visiting with children? M: Absolutely. Shanghai Animation and Comics Museum is a fantastic choice for a family outing. It provides an opportunity to learn about the rich history of comics and cartoons in China. W: That sounds perfect for Alice, but Jason isn’t really into that kind of thing. M: In that case, how about Shanghai Auto Museum? It’s a must-visit for car enthusiasts, showing a collection of cars that document the past 100 years of automobile history. It’s truly amazing. W: Jason would love that. What other options do we have? M: Well, Shanghai Children’s Museum is also a great choice. It explores different modes of transportation and includes interactive activities that simulate space exploration. W: That sounds incredibly interesting. I think we’ll go there. Thanks for your help! 【原文】W: It’s Friday again. What shall we do this weekend, darling? M: Well, I’d like to go dancing on Saturday and stay at home reading some books on Sunday. W: It’s nice to stay in on Sunday, but why not do something different this Saturday? M: What is your suggestion? W: How do you feel about a ride to the countryside? M: A good idea. That will do. 【原文】W: Mr. Anderson is about to throw a New Year’s party at the Party Palace this Friday. You are also invited. M: The Party Palace on Sheen Lane? Isn’t it for kids? W: I had the same question in the beginning, but apparently, they arrange parties for adults too. M: What are we going to do there? Play balloons and some tag-like games? W: Ha-ha, no. There will be a buffet dinner with an open bar. And we can go bowling and play cards. M: Huh, sounds like fun. Do we need to bring presents? W: That’s not necessary. M: Okay. What time does the party begin? I need to let my department head know that I will leave earlier that day. We can ask my mom to pick up Bill from school. W: It starts at 6: 30 p. m. You can arrive around 6: 15 p. m. Would that be OK with you? M: Yep, perfect. My meeting will finish at 5: 30 p. m. I’ll call a taxi then and arrive in half an hour. 【原文】 W: I want to thank Professor James for letting me have a few minutes of class to tell you about our field trip tomorrow. We’ll be leaving by bus at eight in the morning, and return at about five. Please bring your own lunch. As you know this trip is a requirement of the course, you’re all expected to take part in and then to write up a report in your laboratory notebook. I’ve put together a handout to guide you. Please pick it up after class and read it tonight. In it I discussed the members of the pine tree family found here as you have learned. We’ll be looking at examples of the mall. The point in the handout should help you tell the various types of trees. As your leader tomorrow, I’ll try to make the experience a rewarding one. But a field trip is a little like a bank. What you get out of it depends on what you put into it. 56. to 57. delights 58. are 59. an 60. To answer 61. has specialized 62. that 63. extraordinarily 64. While/Though/Although 65. translated 66. One possible version: Everyone knows animals are our friends. But many animals are facing the danger of extinction, because the environment that they are living in has been destroyed greatly. What’s worse, human race is killing them just for getting their fur, skin, teeth and meat. In order to protect our resources of ecology, our government should pass laws and forbid people to hunt the animals in danger. We can work together to plant more trees and call for protecting animals’ habitats. At the same time, it is necessary to have long-term projects to help the endangered animals. Only if we protect animals well can we have a bright future. 67．参考范文： As soon as Jude heard his friend Bonnie, he ran straight to him. We were so grateful and happy to see him. My eyes were filled with tears and I reached out to touch his head. He threw himself into my arms immediately and then looked up at me, as if to ask, “Where have you been? Why do you leave me?” I said over and over again, “I’m sorry, and I’ll never part from you again.” It was a very happy reunion and there were a lot of tears. A few hours later, we took him to the vet to check up. Jude suffered an injury to his right paw (爪) and some weight loss. But he didn’t suffer major problems despite his seven day’s adventure. He had been placed in the house to rest. Jude has amazed us with his firmness. He had never spent a day or a night on his own and yet he managed to survive a few days alone. I want to tell anyone whose dog is missing, “Don’t give up because the support and kindness from kind people are unbelievable.” 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年秋季学期高二期中检测 英语 （满分150分 时间120分钟） 一、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） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，每段对话读两遍。 1.

All of my hard work had paid off. My mom had spent a lot in my attending a private (私立的) high school, so I made sure to push myself: I volunteered, got involved in various clubs, and graduated with honors. I was so excited to start a new chapter (篇章) of my life. I had totally packed two weeks before it was time to leave. Soon enough, the big day came, but it wasn’t like what I had thought. The first two weeks were the most difficult days of my entire life. Every night I would cry myself to sleep. I was so homesick (想家的) and I didn’t know how to deal with my broken heart. To distract myself, I threw myself into my studies and I applied for a ton of jobs. In any remaining free time, I started forcing myself to the gym. I wanted to keep every part of my day busy so I wouldn’t think how lonely I felt. Soon after, I began to limit food, and then I became worse. Finally, I went to see a doctor. When the doctor weighed me, I was crazy about the number of my weight. So I continued to lower my goal, and convinced that controlling this number was the solution for my homesickness. But when I was told that I had no choice but to spend time on my studies, I quickly started recovery in my mind. How could I do? I told myself that school was what I was best at. I decided to get rid of my homesickness and took exercise actively. My first term of college had passed by at last and I had gotten straight A’s. That’s why I want to share my story — to help other students feel less lonely. 28. How was the author during the two weeks before she left for the college? A. She was as normal as before. B. She couldn’t wait to leave for the school. C. She was afraid to leave her home. D. She didn’t enjoy her mother’s company. 29. What was the author’s problem at the beginning of studying in university? A. Her weight. B. Her bad study habit. C. Her diet. D. Her homesickness. 30. Which can best replace the underlined phrase “distract myself” in paragraph 2? A. achieve my dream B. improve my studies C. take my attention away D. earn money by myself 31. What is the main purpose of the author’s writing the passage? A. To look back at her past life. B. To help girls to lose weight. C. To increase her own confidence. D. To help lonely students. D With its ability to pass down complex information across many generations, human language almost certainly played a sizable part in humans’ ability to become a dominant species on the planet. Despite this, we know precious little about how human language developed. A paper published in Frontiers in Psychology proposes that we should look at ancient cave art to gain insights into how our ability for language came to be. “Language doesn’t fossilize, but maybe in these cave drawings, we can see some of the beginnings of human beings as symbolic beings,” said Shigeru Miyagawa, MIT linguist (语言学家) professor and the paper’s lead author. Miyagawa and his co-authors propose that cave paintings exist at the intersection of communication between visual and aural (听觉的) cues. “The linguists’ theory comes from the fact that many of the caves where art has been found are acoustic (声音的) “hot spots”. In these caves, sounds echo (发出回声) louder and more intensely as one goes deeper. Many of the drawings are located in these sections of the cave, and even some areas that would have been better for drawing on walls were ignored in favor of these spots. The drawings would then show sounds that humans made while in the caves. Think about how many examples of cave art that show various four-legged animals, including horses. The echoing of noises, be it tapping on rocks inside the cave or thunder from outside the cave, would have created sounds like horses running across the ground. “This mix of sound and visual representation,” they write, “allowed early humans to enhance their ability to convey symbolic thinking to their fellows, as well as their ability to process aural and visual input as symbolic.” Such symbolic thinking could have led to developing other types of communication, including sentences. Of course, this is not a declarative statement. A great deal more research is required before anything can be said in a definitive way. One thing Miyagawa does feel confident about is that it will further conversations about the importance of our art in our development as a species. 32. What does the paper published in Frontiers in Psychology focus on? A. The origin of human beings. B. The importance of visual communication. C. The connection between cave art and language. D. The determining factors of language development. 33. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The significance of ancient cave drawings. B. The theory about the formation of the caves. C. The sites where cave drawings were discovered. D. The evidence that supports linguists’ assumption. 34. What might the mix of sound and visual representation in cave paintings contribute to? A. The change of human thinking. B. The start of symbolic development. C. The improvement in communication. D. The increase in the variety of languages. 35. Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude to the study? A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Indifferent. D. Disapproving. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 Attractive Parks in China China has many attractive parks, where natural beauty mixes with rich culture.

With international travel to China on the rise, thanks much in part 56 its friendlier tourist visa policies, foreigners will inevitably encounter some amusing restaurant menu translations as they experience various tasty 57 (delight). But those who attempt to come up with English names for these dishes aren’t to blame for the often unusual and occasionally alarming results. Nor 58 (be) the translation apps. According to Yue, 59 associate professor of translation at the University of Hong Kong, translating Chinese food names into English is “an impossible task.” 60 (answer) why translating the names of these foods is so tricky, one needs to look at China’s long culinary history. Fuchsia Dunlop, a British food writer who 61 (specialize) in Chinese cuisine for over two decades, says the problem stems from the fact 62 certain words don’t even exist in English. “China has an 63 (extraordinary) complex culinary culture with a highly specific vocabulary, and in many cases, we do not have equivalents (对等物) in English,” she says. 64 recent years have seen improvements in online translation tools, Dunlop still encounters amusing mistranslations in her travels around China. Among her favorite examples is stir-fried cabbage, which she saw 65 (translate) as “handbag food”. This is because the word for Chinese cabbage, baocai, is made up of two Chinese characters. Bao means “bag,” and cai mean “food/vegetables”. Smiling, Dunlop suggests clearing up some popular misunderstandings before visiting China. 五、书面表达（共两题，满分40分） 66．（15分）如今灭绝的物种越来越多，保护濒危动物尤为重要。现就如何保护濒危动物写一篇文章，内容如下： 1．动物濒危的原因； 2．保护的措施； 3．呼吁大家。 注意： 1．词数80左右； 2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 67．（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。 I bought Jude as a tiny puppy after my previous dog died in a horrible incident. My heart was just broken and it was only having Jude that brought me back round from that pain. He was a lovely and happy pet. For the first time in years, our whole family had gone on holiday together. It was only for four days but it meant my dog Jude was going to be looked after by someone outside the family. I was a bit nervous about it. After struggling for several days, I eventually booked him into a home boarding place in Belfast. I was worried about him the moment he was dropped off, because he had never been in kennels before. The emotions we have gone through in the last few days have been awful. Jude was used to the comforts of a home and he had never been on his own before. Thus, I was worried about him at the bottom of my heart. Then unfortunately, the accident happened. We went away on Monday, July 11, and he was missing on the 12th after being left in an exercise area. But it was on Thursday that I was told he had gone though I messaged the kennels every day to see how he was. The moment we got home, we went looking for him but we didn’t know the area. My daughters Karla and Leanne took a tent and camped out to keep looking for Jude and they con-firmed a number of sightings of him. There were leaflet drops, drones put up and ground searches and posters. Social media was flooded with his photo and we got news of lots of sightings which helped. On Sunday night, my grandson Caidon who is nine, his mum Ashleigh and their dog Bonnie, went with us to the location of a reported sighting by a kind man and there Jude was. 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。 As soon as Jude heard his friend Bonnie? he ran straight to him. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jude suffered an injury to his right paw (爪) and some weight loss. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
