Today he’s three games away from winning an NBA championship. Furphy, just at 20, has had a great new player year with the Indiana Pacers as the team tries to win its first championship.After winning the NBA’s Eastern Conference, the Pacers is now locked in a best of seven battle with the Oklahoma City Thunder for basketball’s biggest prize. The Pacers defeated the New York Knicks to obtain the Eastern Conference title in a showdown (最后的决战) that saw Hollywood stars like Ben Stiller, Miles Teller and Timothee Chalamet rush to a packed Madison Square Garden each night to watch the game.Furphy’s family and friends have flown from Melbourne to cheer him on in the remaining games of the season against Oklahoma. The Pacers bested Oklahoma by just one point to win the first game of the finals series but lost game two — both teams now need three more wins to secure the championship. Looking back on his busy year, Furphy said it was hard to choose his favorite highlight but his NBA debut (首秀) was definitely a “pinch me” moment — it didn’t really feel real sometimes.“Generally, it’s been such an incredible year for me, just learning so much,” Furphy said. “My first year as a professional has been a huge learning experience. After the finals, the new star will go on to play in the NBA’s Summer League series but hopes to manage a trip back to Melbourne, where he’s looking forward to spending time with family, friends and his dogs.”4．What is the Indiana Pacers fighting forA．A new student player. B．A high school dream.C．A school in Melbourne. D．An NBA championship.5．Why are Hollywood stars mentioned in paragraph 2A．To tell the real challenge for the Pacers.B．To explain Furphy’s choice to play basketball.C．To highlight the influence of the basketball game.D．To show the difficulty of becoming a professional.6．What do the underlined words “pinch me” in paragraph 3 probably meanA．Ordinary. B．Frightening. C．Disappointing. D．Unbelievable.7．What does Furphy want to do after the finalsA．Spend some time in his home city. B．Invite his family and friends to America.C．Introduce his adorable dogs to his teammates. D．Give up the NBA’s Summer League series.Most of us have heard the saying, “Goldfish can only remember things for three seconds.” It has been spread widely and goldfish get “famous” for their low ability to remember things. “What is confusing is that it’s pretty much the same wherever you go,” John Smith, an expert in fish, said. “In some places, they say two seconds, and in others, they say ten, but it’s always short. However, there is no relevant scientific data.”John has studied the intelligence of fish, including goldfish, for more than 25 years. He said, “In reality, goldfish are often used as a common model for studying memory and learning in fish because of their good performance. And there are thousands of studies on goldfish.” For example, if goldfish are fed at only one side of their fish tank (缸), they will quickly learn and remember to stay at that side at feeding time no matter whether they are actually fed. Similarly, if they are trained to push a blue tool instead of the red one, they will continue to show a preference for that color long after the experiment is finished.People’s views on goldfish haven’t changed much in spite of these studies. A big reason for this is that most people do not come across live goldfish in their daily life. And even when they do, people don’t spend time with goldfish the way that they do with other animals like dogs. People’s guilt (内疚) may be another factor in thinking poorly of goldfish’s memory. It makes them feel better about putting goldfish in a small tank.Actually, goldfish that are properly taken care of can live for 20 years, so owners might want to consider getting their pets large tanks with many objects and other fish, as well as taking the time to play games with them and teach them skills. After all, your goldfish might remember certain experiences for years to come.8．What can be learned about goldfish from paragraph 1A．Their strange behavior often confuses people. B．Some experts have proved their bad memories.C．Misunderstanding of their memory is common. D．More and more people tend to keep them as pets.9．What mainly makes it hard for people to change their views on goldfishA．Goldfish’s bad effect on other fish. B．Goldfish’s poor relationship with dogs.C．People’s doubt about these studies. D．People’s unfamiliarity with goldfish.10．What does the author want to say in the last paragraphA．Goldfish need to learn more skills to live well. B．Owners are supposed to treat goldfish better.C．Mixing goldfish with other fish species is unwise. D．Keeping goldfish is good for owners’ mental health.11．What can be a suitable title for the textA．Are goldfish the smartest pet fish B．Do goldfish really have a short memoryC．Is it better to keep goldfish in a big tank D．Why are goldfish chosen for memory studiesA kind of robotic boot, created by a team of researchers from Stanford University, can increase walking speed and reduce walking effort in the real world.The great boot can give users personalized walking assistance and allow them to walk 9% faster and use 17% less energy when they walk the same distance. The energy savings are equal to those by taking off a 30-pound backpack, according to the team.The boot is designed to help people with mobility problems, especially older people, to move more easily, and the researchers believe that the technology will be ready for commercialization in the near future.Using a motor that works with calf (小腿肚) muscles, the robotic boot gives users an extra push with every step. The push is varied depending on different people by using a machine learning-based model. It was trained through years of work with simulators (模拟装置), or large and immovable lab devices that can rapidly test how to best assist people.Participants in the research were connected with the boot simulators while researchers collected motion and energy consumption data. The data helped the research team to understand how the way a person walks with the boot relates to how much energy he is using.The team got more details about the relative benefits of different kinds of assistance offered by the simulator and used the information to adapt to each user better. To adapt to an individual’s unique way of walking, the boot will provide a slightly different pattern of assistance each time the user walks. The boot then measures the resulting motion so that the machine learning-based model can determine how to better assist the user next time he walks.The researchers hope to test what the boot can do for those older adults and people who are experiencing mobility decline from disability. They also want to plan design variations that aim to improve balance and reduce joint pain, and work with commercial partners to turn the device into a product.12．What can be learned about the robotic bootA．It has been widely used among the elderly. B．It can cure users with mobility problems.C．It helps users walk faster with less effort. D．It aims to measure the pressure on users’ feet.13．What do the figures in paragraph 2 showA．The boot’s effectiveness. B．The boot’s popularity.C．The boot’s diverse styles. D．The boot’s application conditions.14．Why were the participants asked to wear the boot simulatorsA．To collect information about their state of health.B．To test the function of the machine learning-based model.C．To show the relative benefits of different kinds of assistance.D．To help analyze users’ walking style and energy consumption.15．What is the last paragraph mainly aboutA．Different experts’ opinions on the boot. B．The researchers’ further focus on the boot.C．Predictions of the boot’s market prospects. D．The boot’s advantages over other devices.For those new to a role or industry, adapting to the workplace environment can feel challenging.

Her car was parked messily in the driveway, and she seemed to be in a hurry.We decided to ask if she needed any help. As we walked over, she was struggling to carry a large box. I offered to take it from her, and she gratefully handed it to me. She explained that she was moving some of her late(已故的) husband’s things to a storage unit. Her voice trembled as she mentioned her husband, and I could see the pain in her eyes.Over the next few hours, Alex and I helped her load more boxes into her car. We listened as she shared stories full of love about her husband and the life they had together. It was clear that this was a very emotional time for her. Mrs. Thompson thanked us for the timely help, and for a moment, her face seemed to relax a bit.However, later in the day, things took a turn. As we were about to leave, we overheard Mrs. Thompson on the phone. She was arguing with someone about money. It seemed that there were some unexpected bills related to the storage unit, and she was worried about how she would pay them.Alex immediately suggested that we pool our savings to help her, but I hesitated. I had been saving up for a new pair of sneakers(运动鞋) for a long time, and I wasn’t sure if I was ready to give that up. The sneakers were limited edition, and I had been eyeing them for months.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。I really wanted those sneakers, yet I knew Mrs. Thompson was in a tough spot._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________With hearts beating fast, we walked up to Mrs. Thompson with some savings._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________《甘肃省临洮中学2025-2026学年高二年级下学期期末考试卷（一） 英语试题》参考答案题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10答案 A C B D C D A C D B题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20答案 B C A D B A E F G D题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30答案 A B C B D A C B C D题号 31 32 33 34 35答案 C D A D B1．A 2．C 3．B4．D 5．C 6．D 7．A8．C 9．D 10．B 11．B12．C 13．A 14．D 15．B16．A 17．E 18．F 19．G 20．D21．A 22．B 23．C 24．B 25．D 26．A 27．C 28．B 29．C 30．D 31．C 32．D 33．A 34．D 35．B36．intelligent 37．was raised 38．frequently 39．receiving 40．to earn 41．an 42．won 43．that 44．innovation 45．with/and46．例文Dear Jane,I am happy you have made some progress in learning Chinese. Now, I am writing to inform you of our next lesson.The next lesson will be given at two on Sunday afternoon at the coffee shop near our school. It is worth mentioning that you will learn Tang poetry, which reflects Chinese traditional culture and enjoys great popularity among Chinese learners. And I have to remind you that you’d better have a brief understanding of the history of Tang Dynasty before class, which will help you with the appreciation of Tang poetry.That’s all. I am looking forward to our meeting.Yours,Li Hua47．参考范文I really wanted those sneakers, yet I knew Mrs. Thompson was in a tough spot. Alex kept looking at me with begging eyes. I felt so torn, my mind full of a mix of guilt and longing. The picture of the cool sneakers kept appearing in my head, but so did Mrs. Thompson’s sad expression. After what seemed like a really long time of struggling inside myself, I took a deep breath and nodded at Alex. We quickly figured out how much money we could give without using up all our savings.With hearts beating fast, we walked up to Mrs. Thompson with some savings. When we held out the money to her, her eyes opened wide in shock. We told her it was the least we could do and we hoped she could soon go through the hard time. Her thankfulness was really strong, and she gave us both a big hug. In that moment, I realized that the happiness of helping her was much greater than the short-lived excitement of getting those sneakers. The experience taught me that real value isn’t in things we own but in the relationships we make and the kindness we show.
