They overheard a plan to build a processing station for natural gas 14 miles off the coast of Oxnard. The plant would send over 200 tons of air pollution per year to Erica’s community. Not only that, the station would take in millions of gallons of seawater per day to cool its generators, and discharge (排放) the water more than 15 degrees centigrade hotter than the surrounding ocean. This hot wastewater would cause serious harm to the surrounding ecosystem, killing tiny creatures and small fish critical to the survival of marine mammals and fisheries.Erica cared too much to stay silent. She joined her friends in weekly protests at the office of the natural gas company. Prospects of stopping the project did not look good. The governor was in favor of it, and so were the powerful state commissions that would have to approve it. “The word on the street was that there was nothing we could do.”Behind the scenes, however, opposition was growing, so Erica became the spokesperson for the youth of the town. She regularly walked her neighborhood along the route of the proposed pipeline, using a hula hoop to show people the size of the pipe that would pass by their houses. She talked to the media, and stories about the dangers of the proposed facility began appearing in the press. “We made thousands of phone calls and sent thousands of postcards telling the governor why this facility was a bad idea.” In July 2007, the governor made an unexpected move: He turned down the project. Erica and her friends won!As only the second person in her family to go to college, Erica wants to become an environmental lawyer so she can fight for the environment and for the rights of communities. She wants other young people to speak out when they see something wrong, even if they feel shy about it at first. She likes to quote the words of her role model, César Chávez: “We are the future. The future is ours.”24. What can be learned about the to-be-built processing stationA. It is climate-damaging.B. It provides energy to the locals.C. It is ecologically-unfriendly.D. It uses seawater-driven generators.25. Why does the author mention the governorA. To express Erica’s desperate mood.B. To show the great barriers Erica faced.C. To stress the support from the government.D. To blame the protest on the official’s inaction.26. Which of the following can best describe EricaA. Creative and diligent.B. Pioneering and curious.C. Adventurous and talkative.D. Determined and responsible.27. What message is mainly conveyed through Erica’s storyA. Courage is always rewarded in the end.B. Success depends on teamwork and cooperation.C. Young people can bring about change by speaking up.D. Environmental protection should come before economic development.CA reforestation revolution is being led by the innovative use of autonomous drones, a practice that balances deep respect for nature with cutting-edge technology. These drones, which work with high precision, are particularly effective in restoring large areas of forests damaged by wildfires and heavy logging. Reports show they can plant trees up to ten times faster than traditional methods, greatly boosting sustainability.The core of this technology lies in the combination of AI and LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) remote sensing. The drones use LiDAR to scan damaged areas and measure the distance between the sensor and the ground. This system assesses key environmental factors such as soil composition, moisture levels and terrain contour, as well as potential risks like erosion and flooding. Then, onboard AI analyzes all these details carefully to precisely determine the best spots for planting native seeds.Each drone carries hundreds of biodegradable capsules. These capsules contain not only seeds but also nutrients and fungi, which help the roots thrive in harsh conditions. After identifying ideal areas, the drones fire the capsules into the soil, covering an area as large as a soccer field in less than an hour. The fungi in the capsules enrich the soil, attracting insects and animals that enable forests to thrive. This effect is also crucial for carbon sequestration, which is the process of capturing and storing carbon dioxide to prevent it from warming the planet, and is an important part of the strategy against climate change.Initial trials in wildfire-hit Kumamoto have achieved remarkable success, with an 80% germination (萌芽) rate, much higher than the 30 — 50% of manual methods. This success has drawn international attention: the US and the UK have adopted similar AI-led drones for reforestation in hard-to-access areas, showing great global promotion potential.Despite the achievements, challenges remain. Scaling up the project requires huge investment and may face hurdles like airspace restrictions. Additionally, the technology needs to adapt to diverse ecosystems with varying soil and climate. However, these drones bring bright prospects for global sustainability, with potential applications in restoring biodiversity, rehabilitating coral reefs and reversing desertification, playing a positive role in global ecological protection.28. What are the major advantages of the drone reforestationA. High accuracy and great efficiency.B. Low expense and easy maintenance.C. Long service lifespan and consistent updates.D. All-weather adaptability and complete safety.29. What is the main function of the fungus in the capsulesA. To protect the seeds from being damaged.B. To provide food for insects and animals.C. To enhance root growth and soil health.D. To help break the capsules into pieces.30. How does the author present his ideas in paragraph 4A. By analyzing reasons and stating results.B. By listing statistics and giving examples.C. By giving a definition and making a contrast.D. By making comparisons and quoting an expert.31. What can be inferred about the technology according to the last paragraphA. It holds great promise despite present barriers.B. It makes advances in large-scale application.C. It can easily adapt to diverse ecosystems.D. It removes restrictions to sustainability.DDespite medical progress, treating bone breaks with many small pieces remains a big challenge. It is time-consuming and often leads to poor healing, greatly affecting patients’ quality of life. For over 40 years, Professor Fan Shunwu dreamed of a bone-gluing material and passed the task to post-90s doctor Lin Xianfeng. His inspiration came during a visit to his hometown, where the ancient Luoyang Bridge has stood firm for centuries despite the wearing effect of seawater.The secret lies in oysters (牡蛎) raised under the bridge by ancient craftsmen. These shellfish produce adhesive (粘合的) threads and natural glue to attach tightly to granite piers (花岗岩桥墩). Their calcium-rich shells pile up layer by layer, filling gaps between stones and forming a strong barrier that defends the bridge against seawater. Instead of fighting the ocean, the craftsmen use the power of nature, which reflects the philosophy of learning from nature.Drawing on this bionic (仿生学的) principle, the team overcame key technical difficulties. After years of testing, they created “Bone 02” with three core breakthroughs: strong, instant adhesion in blood-rich environments, easy application, and gradual biodegradability.In over 150 clinical cases, it proved safe and effective. A young worker once suffered a terrible break in his wrist. The traditional treatment would require a large cut to implant a plate and some screws – risky and requiring a second operation for removal. With “Bone 02”, doctors made a 2-3 cm small cut, injected the adhesive, and fixed the bone in just 3 minutes. A three-month follow-up confirmed full healing – no complications and complete wrist function recovery.From laboratories to operating rooms, scientists continually push the boundaries of life and health. This original Chinese achievement, born from multidisciplinary cooperation, marks a major breakthrough. It applies to most bone breaks and holds broad prospects, contributing Chinese insights to global health.32. What inspired Lin Xianfeng to develop the new adhesiveA. The natural ability of the shellfish.B. The durable quality of granite.C. The clever design of Luoyang Bridge.D. The previous findings in medicine.33. Which of the following is a feature of “Bone 02”A. Gentle muscle healing. B. Natural absorption.C. Increasing blood flow. D. Wound-free treatment.34. Which can best replace the underlined word “complications” in paragraph 4A. Positive changes. B. Severe breaks.C. Complex techniques. D. Secondary problems.35. What’s the best title for the textA. From Challenges to AchievementsB. From Ancient Bridges to Modern MedicineC. A Creative Approach to Treating Bone RepairD. A Bionic Medical Breakthrough Inspired by Nature第三部分 语言知识运用第一节 七选五Social media has become an inescapable part of modern life, raising concerns across generations. ____36____ When we scroll through screens, our brains become hooked on the notifications, whose unpredictable nature makes them more addictive.This addiction taps into a fundamental human need. We are social beings, hard-wired (固有的) to desire recognition. ____37____ The constant feedback loop (循环) can turn social approval into a measurable, and often anxious, pursuit.Given the profound impact of social media, the question of regulation arises.

Its addictive design is the core issue.B. But a total ban on minors sparks heated debate.C. The same logic should apply to social media regulation.D. If so, we are more likely to attain the outcome we all desire.E. Many teenagers spend over five hours daily on various social platforms.F. Social media satisfies this by quantifying worth through likes and shares.G. However, the regulation of social media cannot be completely equal to that of alcohol.第二节 完形填空My sister and I recently travelled back from Portugal.

I’ve always been passionate about exploring and solving problems — whether fixing a broken toy or figuring out how a phone app works. This led me to join our school’s Coding (编程) Club. In our first lesson, Ms. Davis told us that coding is more than writing lines of code. It is about using technology to make life easier for others.“Your project,” she announced in class one day, “is to create a simple app that solves a real-life problem.” “You have one week to prepare,” she added gently, hoping this would give us enough time to find inspiration and finish the project.The challenge stayed with me as I walked to my neighbor Mrs. Thompson’s apartment after school. She had invited me for tea, as she often did on Tuesdays. Mrs. Thompson was kind and cheerful, but lately she had been a little forgetful, often misplacing her keys or repeating the same story twice without realizing it. When I arrived, she was in the kitchen.“Mae! Good timing,” she greeted me warmly, and then stopped, glancing at the kettle. “Did I already boil water for tea ”I checked the kettle — it was still warm. We laughed about it as I poured water, and soon we were chatting. Our conversation turned to her weekly book club with friends. Mrs. Thompson smiled, talking about her two old friends. Mr. Brown arrived late for the game, and Mrs. Smith failed to bring her glasses twice. “We’re quite a group,” she said.Then her expression grew thoughtful. “We manage, of course. But sometimes I think wouldn’t it be nice if something simply reminds us Take medicine. Water the plants. Friday for book club.” She tapped her head with a soft laugh.Her words sank in. At that moment, an idea formed in my mind. As I stood up to leave, I smiled mysteriously, “Give me a few days, and I’ll bring you a little surprise.”“Oh I’ll try not to forget that,” she laughed.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。That night, I sat at my desk, notebook open and mind racing with details.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________A week later, I presented my project to Ms. Davis.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________2025-2026学年下期期末考试高二英语试题卷（八）评分参考一、参考答案第一部分 听力第二部分 阅读21.A 22.C 23.B 24.C 25.B 26.D 27.C 28.A 29.B 30.A 31.D 32.A 33.B 34.D 35.D36.A 37.F 38.C 39.G 40.D第三部分 语言运用第一节：41.A 42.B 43.D 44.C 45.D 46.A 47.C 48.D 49.B 50.D 51.B 52.C 53.D 54.B 55.A第二节：56.wisdom 57.have suffered 58.extremely 59.a 60.performing 61.be destroyed 62.which 63.dates 64.Though/Although/While 65.to carry第四部分 写作第一节作答示例：Art, the treasure of our culture, has brightened my life.Among all art forms, painting is my favorite and I love it for three reasons. First, it allows me to discover the hidden beauty, filling my life with warmth and wonder. It also develops patience and focus, helping me to slow down and stay present. Above all, finishing a piece of art gives me a sense of achievement, which builds up my confidence.Art plays an important role in my growth and every artistic effort can make a big difference to our well-being. Let’s embrace art in our daily life!第二节作答示例：That night, I sat at my desk, notebook open and mind racing with details. Mrs. Thompson’s gentle wish for simple daily reminders stayed in my mind, fueling my inspiration to create a user-friendly reminder app. Featuring over-sized buttons and large character display, the app was meant to cover daily routines ranging from medicine-taking, plant-watering to Friday book club gathering. Focused and patient, I continued to revise the code repeatedly, adjusting and improving it. Every line of code was woven with care, transforming my passion for problem-solving into a warm mission to help those in need. I was so eager for the big day.A week later, I went to Ms. Davis and presented my project to her. With thrill and joy welling up, I got down to demonstrating how the app worked in detail. Deeply impressed by my novel ideas, Ms. Davis thought highly of my app, her eyes glowing with admiration. Right after class, I couldn’t wait to bring the app to Mrs. Thompson, who was delighted and grateful for the sweet surprise. Only then did I realize that the meaning of coding is not merely about logic, but also about drawing on technology to brighten our life, thus filling the world with care and love.
