We moved to Mumbai when I was ten, and then I came to Bangalore last year for university. M: So Bangalore is your third city. 答案：A Text 5 M: I thought your son was going camping tomorrow.

M: That one is ninety yuan, and it's pure silk. W: I'll take the scarf, then. By the way, you look surprised — is something wrong? M: Nothing. I just thought you were younger than me.

W: So you'd rather dance than sit still. M: Exactly. And you? Do you ever listen to jazz? W: Not really. I just need something quiet in the background. 答案：8.A　9.A Text 8　（第 10至12 题） W: I found an app last month that I really like. I uploaded an old photo of my parents when they were young, and the app turned that picture into a short video with music. M: A video? I thought those apps only turned photos into paintings. W: Some of them do. This one makes videos. My father watched it three times, and the second time he was so moved that he couldn't speak. M: That's lovely. Where do you hear about these apps? On the TV news? W: Not really. A friend told me about this one, but usually I read a technology website that reviews new apps every week. 答案：10.B　11.B　12.C Text 9　（第 13至16 题） M: Andrea, you're famous for your work with desert plants. Was it a trip to a desert city that got you interested? W: No, people often think that, but it isn't true. My family were farmers. I spent every summer in the fields with my grandparents, and that is what made me fall in love with plants. I only went to Arizona after I had already decided to study them. M: And now you work for Native Seeds. What kind of organization is that? W: Native Seeds SEARCH is a nonprofit organization. We collect and save the seeds of desert crops. We are not a government agency, and we don't sell anything — everything we do is paid for by donations. M: What do you like best about the job? W: I love the plants, of course, but what I enjoy most is meeting people who care about the same things — farmers, students, gardeners. That keeps me going. M: What would you say to a student who is interested in crop science? W: Some people tell you to find a job first. I disagree. Start your own garden, even a very small one. One season in your own garden teaches you more than any textbook. 答案：13.B　14.C　15.A　16.B Text 10　（第 17至20 题） W: When I landed in America, I had been on the plane for fourteen hours. I was tired, of course, but tiredness wasn't the main thing — I was worried. My English was poor and I had never lived abroad before. W: What surprised me most was not the hot weather or the prices in the shops, but how friendly people were. Strangers said good morning to me in the street, and shop assistants smiled even when I could not answer. W: On my first day at school I had a bigger problem than my accent. The building was huge, and I simply could not find my classrooms. A girl I had never met walked me to every room on my timetable. W: Now, three months later, I can say that this exchange year has been wonderful, and I would do it again tomorrow. 答案：17.C　18.B　19.B　20.A 听力答案速查 1.C　2.B　3.A　4.A　5.B　6.B　7.C　8.A　9.A　10.B　11.B　12.C　13.B　14.C　15.A　16.B　17.C　18.B　19.B　20.A 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二英语　期中考试参考答案 平罗中学 2026-2027 学年度第一学期期中考试 · 参考答案 听力答案 1.C　2.B　3.A　4.A　5.B　6.B　7.C　8.A　9.A　10.B　11.B　12.C　13.B　14.C　15.A　16.B　17.C　18.B　19.B　20.A 阅读理解（21—35题，第一节每题2.5分） 21.

Learning that our community is recruiting holiday volunteers, I am writing to apply for the position. I believe I am a suitable candidate for three reasons. First, I am patient and enjoy staying with children, so I can accompany them in reading and organize interesting games. Second, as an experienced class activity organizer, I am good at arranging and decorating venues. Third, I have enough spare time during the holiday. I promise that I will work responsibly and wholeheartedly serve the community. I would appreciate it if you could offer me this precious opportunity. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节 读后续写（25分）范文 Paragraph 1: Suddenly, she forgot the next sentence. The hall fell silent, and a familiar wave of panic rose in her chest. Just then, Ms Lin's words flashed through her mind — tell a joke! Taking a deep breath, Mia looked at the audience with a smile and said, "It seems my speech is so good that even I forgot what comes next." The audience burst into laughter, and the nervous atmosphere melted away. To her surprise, the lost lines returned to her naturally. She continued, her voice growing steadier and her gestures more confident with every sentence. Paragraph 2: When the contest ended, the host announced the results. "The first prize goes to Mia!" The hall erupted in applause. Holding the trophy, Mia's eyes were filled with tears — not of shame this time, but of pride and gratitude. She had not only won a contest, but also conquered the fear that had haunted her for a whole year. More importantly, she understood a simple truth: failure is never the end, but the beginning of a braver self. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $平罗中学2026至2027学年度第一学期期中考试高2英语听力部分听力考试现在开始。第一节听。下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话读两遍。Tom, here is twenty.

He hardly ever speaks in his shows, but he can make the whole world laugh with just a funny face or a simple action.

That is why I like him. Maria, Spain Hi! I'm Maria from Madrid. I love stand-up comedy. Every month I go to a small theatre near my home, where young comedians tell jokes about everyday life.

Watching stand-up shows has not only made me laugh but also helped me improve my Spanish. It is my favourite way to relax. Chen Jie, China Hi! I'm Chen Jie from Tianjin. Crosstalk is my favourite kind of comedy. My grandfather and I often listen to it on the radio while having dinner.

My grandfather says crosstalk has a history of more than one hundred years, and I hope it will stay popular among young people. It really makes our dinner time special. Tom, the USA Hi! I'm Tom from Chicago. Animated films are my favourite kind of humour. I have watched some classic cartoons so many times that I know most of the lines by heart.

She is among thousands of young people in Thailand who have learned Mandarin (普通话). And she has been teaching Mandarin in a creative way, making learning more enjoyable. In recent years, more young people in Thailand are trying to learn about China through social media, movies and TV programs, and hanfu is very popular with Pornpawee’s students. That’s where she has got her new idea of teaching. She shares the latest Chinese fashion (时尚) with them in class, helping them learn about the culture as well as the language itself. “Mandarin is like a key, helping me to open the door to understand China,” she said. Pornpawee developed a love for the Chinese language at the age of 13. When she was in high school, she made an important decision — learning Mandarin at college. Now Pornpawee has taught Mandarin for over 10 years. Pornpawee visited China for the first time while she was in the university. She found Chinese food so great. Before traveling to China, Pornpawee had only heard of a few Chinese dishes, such as hot pot and jiaozi. She was amazed by the kinds, the tastes and the Chinese ways of cooking. “Chinese people are very hospitable to foreigners. During my first visit to China, my Chinese friends and their families always took good care of me and kept asking whether I was used to the life,” she recalled (回忆). So far, Pornpawee has visited several Chinese cities. “China is such a large country,” she said. “My trip to China will never end and I’d like to introduce more to people of my country.” 24．What is Pornpawee’s new way to teach Mandarin? A．Giving online lessons. B．Taking part in TV shows. C．Making movies about China. D．Showing the newest Chinese fashion. 25．What does the underlined word “hospitable” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Fair. B．Polite. C．Friendly. D．Outgoing. 26．What can we learn about Pornpawee from the last paragraph? A．Most Thai young people learn Mandarin to buy hanfu. B．Pornpawee started to teach Mandarin when she was 13. C．Pornpawee hopes to keep telling Thai people about China. D．Pornpawee knew lots of Chinese dishes before visiting China. 27．What is the best title for the text? A．Mandarin: A Key to Exploring Chinese Culture B．A Thai Teacher: A Bridge to Sharing Chinese Culture C．Hanfu: A Favorite Among Thai Young Learners D．Chinese Food: An Attraction for Foreign Visitors C When we think about what makes humans different, a good sense of humor often comes to mind first. Laughter and playful jokes were once thought to belong only to humans. Yet recent research shows that animals, especially great apes(猿猴）, may also act in ways that look like humor. A study led by primatologist Isabelle Laumer at the Max Planck Institute has produced surprising results. “We saw young apes quietly come close on purpose, touch adult apes, and wait hopefully for a response,” Laumer says. “This is not simple play. It fits all the rules of purposeful teasing.” Videos totalling over 75 hours show this action is similar to how children play jokes: it repeats, comes unexpectedly, and aims to get a reaction. Researchers found the apes would even stop to watch the adult’s response, just like a child waiting to see if others laugh at their joke. Humor-like actions are not only seen in apes. Many dog owners find their pets make soft, noisy breaths while playing. Some scientists believe these sounds are dogs’ way of laughing. A 2025 study played these sounds for shelter dogs and found they felt less stressed. Besides, dolphins make happy sounds in playful fights, elephants call excitedly at play, and some parrots tease other animals. For example, they use whistles to puzzle dogs just for fun. Why do animals show such actions? For humans, laughter builds social connections and eases stress. Scientists believe playful teasing among apes or dogs’ “laughing” sounds work similarly, helping them get on well and strengthen relationships. Some researchers think these actions developed to help animals deal with complex social order and reduce conflicts. Still, Laumer says more studies are needed, for it is hard to tell whether animals really have a sense of humor. We may never know if animals understand a joke, but their actions suggest humor developed a very long time ago. As Laumer puts it, “The boundary between human laughter and animal laughter is not as clear as we used to believe.” 28．How do young apes tease adults according to Laumer’s study? A．By staying close and watching quietly. B．By copying the jokes of human children. C．By repeating their play until adults react. D．By touching them and expecting a response. 29．What might make the shelter dogs less stressed in the 2025 study? A．The joyful sounds they heard. B．The nice signals they made themselves. C．The fun games they took part in. D．The playful fights among other animals. 30．What is the main function of animals’ humor-like behavior? A．Winning complex conflicts. B．Getting on well with humans. C．Strengthening group bonds. D．Easing stress caused by playing games. 31. What can we infer from Laumer’ words in the last paragraph? A．Animals can share the same sense of humor as humans. B．Human laughter is no longer considered a special ability. C．The two kinds of laughter may be more alike than people thought. D．Researchers find it hard to tell animal laughter from human laughter. D From big life goals to small daily troubles, frustration (沮丧) is part of our daily life. Although frustration is often thought of as a bad feeling, studies show that it is not just a problem — it can also be a useful tool for growing, learning and making yourself better. Psychologists say frustration is more than a short-term trouble. Ayelet Fishbach, a professor at the University of Chicago, says frustration exists for a reason. Anger usually points at others, and stress often comes from having too many tasks to do. But frustration is different: it is the feeling you get when things don’t go as you planned. It’s a reminder to check your goals again and think about doing things in a different way. Ayelet says this kind of change can make you pay more attention and also make your determination stronger. Some studies even find that students who fail in frustrating situations often get better at solving problems later. She explains, “It is this focused determination from frustration that helps people make progress.” Even babies feel frustrated when they learn to crawl or walk, but this frustration encourages them to keep trying until they succeed. To use frustration to help yourself grow, you need a serious approach. The first key step is to understand: in any process (过程) of trying hard, it is very natural to face problems, and frustration can actually push us to improve ourselves. Another important thing to do is to change how you look at frustration — don’t see it as failure. Instead, you should treat it as proof that “you are dealing with challenges that are just right for you.” Besides, you should deal with your feelings in a right way. Keeping your feelings inside is not healthy. Talking to someone you trust can often give you new ideas. Finally, you need to think back, learn lessons from your experiences, and use these to guide your future growth. Frustration is not your enemy. As long as you understand its good points and learn to use it, you can turn life’s problems into chances to grow. 32．What makes frustration different from anger and stress according to Ayelet? A．It usually targets other people. B．It lasts longer than other feelings. C．It is caused by too many tasks. D．It happens as things go unexpectedly. 33. Why does the author mention babies learning to crawl or walk in Paragraph 3? A. To show frustration plays an important part in growing. B. To prove babies suffer more frustration than adults. C. To explain how babies learn to solve problems. D. To warn parents against pushing babies too hard. 34. How is Paragraph 4 mainly organized?​ A．By comparing different studies. B．By listing suggestions step by step. C．By following the order of time. D．By giving examples of well-known people. 35．What is the author’s attitude toward frustration? A．Doubtful. B．Indifferent. C．Favorable. D．Critical. 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。 How to Develop a Stronger Mindset（心态） Everyone faces difficulties in life, but what separates those who succeed from those who struggle is their mindset. A strong mindset allows people to stay focused, overcome obstacles (障碍), and achieve their goals. It is not something people are born with but something that can be developed. 36 Embrace Challenges Instead of Avoiding Them Many people try to stay in their comfort zones to avoid failure, but this often limits personal growth. Mentally strong individuals face them head-on rather than run away from challenges. 37 This not only builds confidence but also provides valuable experience for handling future difficulties. Manage Your Emotions Effectively 38 Mentally strong people don’t let emotions control their actions. Instead, they recognize their feelings and take time to process them before making decisions. They take a moment to step back, and analyze the situation with proper emotions. By developing emotional awareness, individuals can stay calm under pressure and respond to situations wisely. 39 Some people believe that intelligence and abilities are fixed, while others see them as things that can be improved with effort. Those with a mindset focused on self-improvement are more likely to push through difficulties. They view failures as learning opportunities rather than setbacks. Over time, this approach leads to greater achievements and personal fulfillment. Build a Supportive Environment While mindset is largely personal, the people around us also play a role in shaping our mental strength. 40 This is why mentally strong individuals don’t surround themselves with negativity. Instead, they seek out mentors, supportive friends, and inspiring role models who encourage them to grow. Developing a stronger mindset is a lifelong process, but by practising these strategies consistently, anyone can build greater mental strength and take control of their future. A．Develop a Growth Mindset B．Shape Your Mental Strength C．Below are some strategies to help build mental strength. D．We don’t let self-doubt or criticism stop us from making progress. E．Instead of fearing failure, they see it as an opportunity to learn and improve. F．It’s natural to experience negative emotions, but how we deal with them matters. G．Surrounding yourself with positive, motivated individuals can make a big difference. 第三部分 语言知识运用（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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 “We regret to inform you…” These are the words most writers fear yet know well.

Last year, Mia took part for the first time, full of expectation. She had prepared for weeks, polishing her script and practising again and again. But the moment she stepped onto the bright stage and saw hundreds of eyes fixed on her, her mind went completely blank. All the lines she had memorized vanished at once. She stood there awkwardly, face burning with embarrassment, unable to say a single word. A long silence fell over the hall. Some students began to whisper, and a few even laughed quietly. Overwhelmed by shame, Mia ran off the stage in tears and made up her mind never to speak in public again. This year, as the contest drew near, her English teacher, Ms Lin, handed her an application form. “The contest is coming,” she said gently, looking straight into Mia’s eyes. “You have a wonderful voice and creative ideas, Mia. I hope you will give yourself another chance.” Mia hesitated. The painful memory of that terrible afternoon was still fresh and hurt badly. But deep in her heart, she had never really given up her dream of speaking confidently in front of others. After days of struggling with fear and self-doubt, she took a deep breath and signed her name at last. In the following weeks, Mia practiced every evening in front of the mirror, adjusting her tone, gestures and eye contact. Ms Lin taught her a little trick: if she felt nervous on the stage, she could tell a light-hearted joke to calm herself down. Finally, the big day came. When Mia's name was called, her heart was pounding wildly, but she gathered all her courage, walked onto the stage, took a deep breath, and began. Paragraph 1: Suddenly, she forgot the next sentence. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When the contest ended, the host announced the results. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________                                                                                                                                                                                                                1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司7 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
