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. 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. 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 11. 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. 12. 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. 13. 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. 14. 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. 15. 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.

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. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 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. 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. 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 11. 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. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者获得旧金山大学全额奖学金，在离家上大学的初期感到极度想家，通过努力学习、找工作、健身等方式来分散注意力，后来意识到控制体重不是解决想家之情的办法，最终决定积极面对，克服想家情绪，并在第一学期取得全优成绩的故事。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“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. (我对于开始我人生的新篇章感到非常兴奋。在离开的两周前，我就已经完全打包好了)”可知，作者对于去上大学非常期待，迫不及待地想要离开家去学校。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“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. (头两周是我一生中最艰难的日子。每天晚上我都会哭着入睡。我非常想家，不知道该如何面对自己破碎的心)”可知，作者在刚开始上大学时的问题是想家。故选D项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线短语后文“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. (我全身心投入到学习中，并申请了很多工作。在任何剩余的空闲时间里，我都开始强迫自己去健身房)”可知，作者为了不去想家，让自己忙碌起来，投入到学习和工作中，还强迫自己去健身房，这些都是为了转移自己的注意力。故划线短语意思是“转移我的注意力”，与take my attention away同义。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“That’s why I want to share my story — to help other students feel less lonely. (这就是我想分享我的故事的原因——帮助其他学生减少孤独感)”可知，作者写这篇文章的主要目的是帮助感到孤独的学生。故选D项。 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. 12. 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. 13. 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. 14. 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. 15. Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude to the study? A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Indifferent. D. Disapproving. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了一项发表在《心理学前沿》杂志上的研究，该研究提出通过观察古代洞穴艺术来深入了解人类语言能力的发展。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“A paper published in Frontiersin Psychology proposes that we should look at ancient cave art to gain insights into how our ability for language came to be.(一篇发表在《心理学前沿》上的论文提出，我们应该研究古代洞穴艺术，以深入了解我们的语言能力是如何形成的。)”可知，发表在Frontiers in Psychology上的论文专注于探讨洞穴艺术与语言能力发展之间的联系。故选C。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段，尤其是“The linguists’ theory comes from the fact that many of the caves where art has been found are acoustic ‘hot spots’.(语言学家的这一理论源于这样一个事实：许多发现艺术的洞穴都是声学“热点”。)”可知，第三段介绍了支持语言学家假设的证据，即许多发现有艺术作品的洞穴是声音的“热点”。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““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.(“这种声音和视觉表现的结合，”他们写道，“使早期人类能够提升自己向同伴传达象征性思维的能力，以及将听觉和视觉输入处理为象征性信息的能力。”这种象征性思维可能促成了其他类型交流方式的发展，包括句子的形成。)”可知，洞穴绘画中声音和视觉表现的结合可能有助于提高早期人类的交流能力。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据末段中“this is not a declarative statement. A great deal more research is required before anything can be said in a definitive way.(这不是一个陈述性的结论。在得出任何确定性结论之前，还需要进行大量的研究。)”和上文提到的研究的理论基础可知，作者对这项研究持客观态度，既没有表现出怀疑，也没有表现出冷漠或不赞成，作者只是客观地呈现了研究的内容和需要进一步研究的事实。故选B。 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.

In order to protect our resources of ecology, our government should pass laws and forbid people to hunt the animals in danger.

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. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】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.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的狗去世后，作者买了小狗Jude，但是Jude在寄宿期间不幸失踪了。作者一家四处寻找，最终找回了Jude。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“裘德一听到他的朋友邦妮，就径直朝他跑去。”可知，第一段可描写作者他们再次见到Jude之后的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“裘德的右爪受了伤，体重也有所下降。”可知，第二段可描写Jude的身体状况以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：相遇——流泪——团聚——身体良好——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①充满：be filled with / be full of ②放弃：give up /quit ③放置：place/put 情绪类 ①快乐的：happy /joyful ②感谢的：grateful /thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1] It was a very happy reunion and there were a lot of tears.
