窗体顶端广东深圳市龙岗区龙城高级中学2025-2026学年高二下学期期末考试英语试题一、阅读理解AClean Energy: The Future Is HereNearly a century ago, Thomas Edison envisioned using the sun’s boundless energy. Today, that vision is a reality. “Clean energy” covers various technologies — here are five ways to use virtually limitless power sources:CLEAN ENERGY SOLARSolar panels have become less expensive and more efficient in recent years. That’s making it more competitive with other technologies and driving a rapid growth in solar adoption.WINDWind machines produce the lowest-priced renewable energy. In places with enough wind, it can be cost-competitive without government allowance, and it may even be cheaper than fossil fuels.BIOMASSBiomass (生物质) energy originates from living or recently living organisms — everything from forest residue to algae and switchgrass.GEOTHERMALGeothermal (地热) energy taps into the internal heat of the earth — from hot water just below the ground to steam produced much further down.WATERPOWERFalling or running water is one of the oldest energy sources in the world. When sustainably designed, it can be a reliable clean energy.Technological innovations and new financing methods are making renewable energy more accessible than ever before. As a result, these energy sources are expected to account for half of our global energy mix by 2030. Here are the details:Renewable Energy Generation: 2012 vs. 2030 / TWh“I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that,” Thomas Edison said in 1931. His far-sighted idea has become real progress — the world’s shift to renewable energy is growing fast. This helps the world meet its increasing power needs in a more sustainable way, and build a cleaner, healthier, and brighter future.1. Which type of clean energy has the lowest costA．Solar. B．Wind. C．Waterpower. D．Geothermal.2. How much is the expected growth in biomass generation from 2012 to 2030A．3,100 TWh. B．3,646 TWh. C．4,000 TWh. D．4,900 TWh.3. Why does the author quote EdisonA．To warn of the energy shortage.B．To honor his great contributions.C．To appreciate the evolution of energy.D．To reflect the crucial role of coal at his time.BKyle Lybarger, often dressed in camo (迷彩服), doesn’t look like a typical social media influencer. Yet, as a forest worker in Alabama, he has found unexpected internet fame by introducing his followers to the overlooked world of southeastern plants. Today, he acts as a guardian for growing rare and endangered plant populations. Ironically, his conservation journey began with an ecological mistake.A decade ago, while managing a private forest, Lybarger wanted to attract more deer and wild turkeys. He chose an open, rocky area, deciding it would be a good place to plant food for wildlife. He used herbicide (除草剂) to clear existing plants, sowing a foreign seed fix. In the dry, shallow soil, the seeds didn’t take. But around the edges of the land, where he hadn’t used herbicide, a breathtaking picture of colorful, unfamiliar native flowers came into view in the sunlight.After Lybarger posted the photos of the flowers online, a local botanist reached out, identifying the flowers as rare species. Lybarger realized he had nearly killed off an area with a wild seed bank of countless species just to plant a few foreign ones. “That’s really a light bulb moment (灵光一闪),” he recalls. He recognized this reflected a common human tendency to dominate rather than coexist with nature. Diving into research, he learned that before human settlement, the Southeast was home to expansive grasslands. Over the centuries, human development and fire control allowed foreign trees choked out the once-diverse grasslands, killing native species.Finding a new mission, Lybarger now knocks on doors to instruct landowners who are unknowing hosts of rare plants to care for those populations. He also uses his massive online platform to raise funds to protect biodiversity. His secret sauce, which immediately carried like wildfire across the nation, is his genuine passion. Lybarger’s story proves that true environmental protection begins when we stop rewriting nature and learn to read it.4. What made the native flowers come outA．Herbicide-free soil.B．Wildlife waste.C．Foreign-seed removal.D．Sufficient sunlight.5. What does Lybarger’s “light bulb moment” indicateA．He found a new planting trick.B．He doubted the expert’s words.C．He decided to study botany.D．He regretted human intervention.6. What does Lybarger’s current work involveA．Building online platforms.B．Selling his secret sauce for money.C．Learning conservation rules.D．Educating landowners on rare plants.7. Which of the following would be the best title for the textA．A Campaign Redefines Nature.B．A Mistake Awakens a Guardian.C．Secrets to Growing Native Plants.D．Hidden Wealth of Vast Grasslands.CHundreds of teenagers have walked in through the doors of Britain’s National Centre for Gaming Disorders since it opened. Lately, however, it has admitted a small but steady stream of different patients — 67 people over the age of 40. The oldest, addicted to games on her smartphone, was 72.As today’s 60-somethings enter retirement, time spent on smart devices is shooting up. “They are increasingly living their lives through their phones, the way teenagers sometimes do”, says Dr. Ipsit Vahia.The elderly have long been champion television-watchers. Now, however, the newly retired are the most enthusiastic adopters of digital bining TV and smart devices, those of retirement age clock up more daily screen time than young adults.In countries where the trend is most advanced, people are starting to worry about elderly smartphone users in the same way that they worry about teens. A study in South Korea estimated that 15% of those aged 60 to 69 were at risk of phone addiction. Research from Japan found screen time was associated with less physical activity among the elderly, while a survey in China linked it to worse sleep.With more screen time, older people face some online risks that teenagers do not. Their phones and tablets are often linked to bank accounts. In-game purchases can empty wallets, and bad guys can rob victims within the same app. Moreover, they also lack the social guardrails that regulate teenagers’ screen time. During the day, teachers police teens’ phone usage, while parents do the reminding in the evening. By contrast, elderly people are their own bosses and may not have someone to guide them towards help.Yet an increase in screen time among the elderly is by no means all bad. Messaging apps bring family closer. Gaming kills the time. Spotify and YouTube serve as a reminder of childhood, bringing back music and videos. For better or worse, seniors’ screen time has much further to grow.8. What trend does the text mainly highlightA．Seniors are using IT devices more than youths.B．Screen use is rising among older adults.C．Uncontrolled gaming is emerging as a concern.D．Internet is reshaping the retirement life.9. What concern is raised about elderly smartphone usersA．They may become socially separated.B．Their phone use limits their activities.C．They are unaware of digital addiction.D．Their screen use affects their health.10. What can we infer from paragraph 5A．Greater personal freedom heightens digital risks.B．Older adults are the main target of online crimes.C．Financial links on digital devices cause money loss.D．External guidance prevents unsafe online behavior.11. Why are messaging apps and media platforms mentionedA．To show benefits of screen use.B．To explain seniors’ preferences.C．To stress entertainment choices.D．To predict future screen growth.DA common element found in table salt may hold the key to powering the next wave of electric vehicles (EVs).Most EVs in the world today are powered by lithium-ion (锂离子) batteries, which perform differently in cold and warm weather. In low temperatures, most lithium-ion batteries would deliver only a very small fraction of their original capacity unless the pack has an active heating system. Batteries store and release energy by moving charged particles (粒子) between electrodes, the two ends of a battery, through an electrolyte, a substance that allows electricity to move; cold temperatures make those processes inactive.To address the issue, a leading battery producer says its sodium-ion (钠离子) pack can keep charging and delivering power far below freezing. As the name implies, sodium-ion batteries replace lithium with sodium, an element found widely in salts. Although sodium ions are larger, they form weaker bonds with the liquid electrolyte than lithium does. This allows them to move much more easily than lithium ions, even when the cold thickens the electrolyte.Consequently, while cold weather slows all ions down, sodium-based systems are less affected, preserving more power and capacity in winter. Laboratory data suggest that at -30℃, this battery can deliver nearly three times the discharge power of equivalent lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, the cheap, standard-range batteries that dominate the EV market. It can charge to 90 percent full when the temperature drops to -40℃ and achieves “stable power delivery” at -50℃ in test conditions.Still, the young supply chain means manufacturing these batteries is currently about 30 percent more expensive, realistically pushing mass production toward the end of this decade. “We should be looking into lowering the cost while maintaining their strong performance at low temperatures,” says Phate Zhang, an EV news founder.12. What do we know about lithium-ion EVsA．They need much higher maintenance fees.B．Their power system can be unstable sometimes.C．Their power output might be affected by the cold.D．They lose capacity in extreme weather conditions.13. Why do sodium-ion batteries work better in cold weatherA．They move much faster than lithium ones.B．They are larger and more active in the electrolyte.C．Their electrolyte stays less affected by low temperatures.D．They interact more weakly with the electrolyte than lithium ions do.14. How does the author show the superiority of sodium-ion batteriesA．By quoting experts.B．By analyzing causes.C．By describing a process.D．By making comparisons.15. What is Phate Zhang’s suggestion aboutA．Possible direction for future study.B．Choice of new research methods.C．Need to involve more researchers.D．Potential application of the finding.七选五The rush home for the Spring Festival’s festivities each year, known as the chunyun, is a cultural moment in China. Many recall hard-won tickets, long queues, crowded trains, and shared snacks with strangers. ____16____ But changes in the chunyun show new social trends in China.China’s population is shrinking, yet the holiday travel rush keeps growing. Officials monitor travel over a 40-day period around the break and expect a record of 9.5 billion trips this year, up from 8.4 billion in 2024. ____17____ Although visiting family and friends remains the primary purpose, many travelers now also make time for tourism during the chunyun.Modes of transport are shifting, too. Officials estimate that four-fifths of people use private transport, including cars and vans. And train travel is getting more popular. A decade ago, 11% of journeys that used commercial transport involved a train; last year, this stood at 28%. This time the share is expected to be higher as China’s high-speed rail network continues to expand. ____18____Much travel still takes place east of the Heihe-Tengchong line, which geographers use to divide China into its densely and sparsely (稀疏地) populated parts. But calculations show that the share of trips taking place within a province was up. It all suggests that China is developing regional economic groups, and migration mostly takes place within these. ____19____ One of the busiest routes was from Xi’an to Xianyang, a city of about 4 million people, just 24 km away.____20____ China is starting to allow electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (垂直升降飞机) for commercial use as part of its push for a “low-altitude economy”. One company based in Shanghai has started offering flights to nearby cities this year, allowing people to take to the air for destinations just a short hop away.A．Travel during the chunyun will continue to evolve.B．Many cannot afford to board the speediest trains, however.C．There were 2,000km of track in 2010 and 50,000km at the end of 2025.D．Such scenes once captured a true picture of how millions traveled home.E．One factor behind the rise is that trips are no longer just about family reunions.F．The most popular journeys connect big economic centers and their satellite cities.G．Given testing economic conditions, holidaymakers are spending less than they did before.二、完形填空I never really noticed my father’s hands until I was leaving for college. They were rough, covered with calluses (老茧) , and marked with tiny scars. For years, those hands had been the ____21____ of our family, working quietly behind the scenes.

Once a target ____36____ (identify), the robotic arm extends the flexible gripper (抓爪) toward the fruit. After a light pull and turn, a stem-free strawberry is ____37____ (neat) picked and placed into a basket.Developed by Wang Xiaochuan’s team from Nanjing Agricultural University, the robot takes about 20 seconds per pick with an 84% success rate, and the ____38____ (harvest) strawberries remain in almost perfect condition. While farmers would like to use machines during harvest ____39____ (boost) efficiency and cut costs, picking delicate fruits like strawberries has long posed ____40____ significant challenge.Earlier picking robots used scissors to cut the stem (the long thin part of a plant), leaving a section attached to the fruit, and often causing damage during transport. ____41____ (bad) still, workers had to remove the remaining stems ____42____ hand before boxing the strawberries, so robots didn’t truly free human labor.Inspired by how sea anemones (海葵) feed, the team designed a soft silicone (硅胶) gripper, ____43____ can completely wrap around strawberries of various sizes and shapes, and grasp them with stability and ____44____ (gentle). The robot’s motion lets the stem connection point break naturally, so the strawberry is ready to be boxed and sold without further processing.This approach applies not only to strawberries but also to other soft fruits and vegetables, ____45____ (advance) China’s intelligent agriculture.四、书信写作46. 假定你是李华，你校正在推行“健康第一，人人运动”校园体育计划。请你为校英文报写一篇短文投稿，内容包括：1.具体做法；2.收获与变化。注意：1.写作词数应为80左右；2.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。Health First, Sports for All____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________五、书面表达（读后续写）47. 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。Mr. and Mrs. Lee moved into the apartment next door in early September. At first, we exchanged polite smiles when passing by, but things changed soon. My younger brother, Tom, was crazy about playing the drums. He’d been dreaming of joining the school’s music band and practiced hard every evening right after finishing his homework, usually from 5 pm to 6 pm. He said the loud beats helped him release stress from a day of studying. However, our thin apartment walls turned his practice sessions into a headache for the Lees.Mrs. Lee worked night shifts at the hospital. She relied on the afternoons to sleep and recharge for the next shift, but the drumbeats would wake her up repeatedly. Mr. Lee, a freelance writer who worked from home, needed complete quiet to focus on his stories, but the constant “boom-boom-boom” would break his train of thought. We didn’t notice their trouble at first; Tom always closed his bedroom door when practicing, and we thought that would reduce the noise enough.One Tuesday evening, Mr. Lee knocked on our door. His face looked serious, and I could tell he was upset. “I’m sorry to bother you,” he said, “but the drum noise has been making it hard for my wife to rest and me to work. We’ve tried closing the windows, but it still doesn’t help much.” My parents apologized immediately, but Tom felt wronged. He argued that he only practiced for an hour each day and had nowhere else to play. For the next few days, the atmosphere between our two families became awkward. We stopped greeting each other, and the walls seemed to grow thicker.Deciding to fix the situation, my mom baked a plate of chocolate cookies — Mrs. Lee’s favorite, which we learned from a casual chat before — and asked Tom and me to take them to the Lees.注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。When we arrived, Mrs. Lee opened the door with a surprised look.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________After a discussion, they agreed on a new schedule for drum practice.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________参考答案一、阅读理解1.B 2.B 3.C4.A 5.D 6.D 7.B8.B 9.D 10.D 11.A18.C 13.D 14.D 15.A16.D 17.E 18.C 19.F 20.A二、完形填空21.B 22.A 23.C 24.D 25.A26.D 27.C 28.A 29.D 30.A31.C 32.B 33.C 34.A 35.B三、语法填空36.is identified 37.neatly 38.harvested 39.to boost 40.a41.Worse 42.by 43.which 44.gentleness 45.advancing四、书信写作范文Health First, Sports for AllTo encourage students to build up their bodies, our school has launched the campaign “Health First, Sports for All”. Various sports activities are carried out on campus.We have daily morning running and afternoon group sports to ensure regular exercise. Besides, the school holds weekly sports games and opens all sports facilities for students after class.Since the campaign started, most students have become more energetic and healthier. Meanwhile, we have developed a positive lifestyle and learned the value of perseverance through sports.The Student Union calls on every student to stick to sports and keep fit.五、读后续写范文When we arrived, Mrs. Lee opened the door with a surprised look. Tom apologized sincerely for disturbing their daily life with his drum practice. He explained that he was eager to improve his skills for the school band and had not realized the noise troubled them so much. I handed over the cookies and expressed our family’s willingness to fix the problem. Moved by our sincerity, the Lees softened their attitude and said they also hoped we could get along well.After a discussion, they agreed on a new schedule for drum practice. We finally decided that Tom would practice from 7 pm to 8 pm after Mrs. Lee woke up and Mr. Lee finished his daytime writing. To further reduce noise, my parents bought soundproof stickers for Tom’s room. From then on, the awkward atmosphere disappeared. Our two families became close neighbors, often sharing snacks and chatting. This experience taught me that communication and understanding can always bridge misunderstandings.
