However, others consider it worthwhile.As for me, I support space exploration. For one thing, exploring space helps us know more about the universe and find a possible new home for humans. For another, it pushes the development of high-tech industry, which benefits our daily life. Though it costs a lot, its long-term value is beyond measure.【答案】Ms. Li praised my plan and agreed to help me put it into practice. She first called a meeting for interested neighbors, where I explained my idea: setting up a small shelter for the cats in the community garden and arranging volunteers to feed them proper food regularly. To cover the cost of cat food and shelter materials, we decided to raise a small fund by asking willing residents to donate a little money each month. Many neighbors showed support, and some even signed up to be volunteers immediately. We divided the responsibilities clearly, ensuring every task was taken care of.After two weeks of joint efforts, the community took on a brand-new look. The shelter provided a safe home for the cats, and volunteers fed them on time without leaving any leftover food. The cooperation between animal lovers and other residents eliminated the conflict completely. No more flies gathered around the gate, and the cats no longer wandered into yards randomly. Seeing the cats playing happily in the shelter and neighbors getting along well, I felt proud of what we’d achieved. It turned out that every problem could be solved with kindness and joint efforts.湖南长沙市雅礼中学2025-2026学年高二下学期期中考试英语试卷时量: 120分钟 分值: 150分第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分)做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。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。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。1.

The air smelled of damp earth and pesticide, a sharp contrast to the clean, digital scent of my city life. I counted down the days until my escape, the quiet countryside feeling not peaceful, but empty and slow.The change began with the arrival of a young agricultural scientist, Miss Li, from the county’s new “Rural Revitalization” project. She brought not just new organic fertilizers, but a tablet full of colorful soil analysis charts. My grandfather listened with polite skepticism, his face a mask of weathered tradition. Out of boredom, I started wandering around them. I was surprised to find myself inspired. I began translating the technical terms on the tablet into our local dialect for Grandpa, and explaining his decades of wisdom to Miss Li. A tiny spark (火花) of curiosity lit up where there was once only dullness.One afternoon, a sudden hailstorm threatened the ripening grapes. Panic seized me — not for myself, but for the vines we had grown. Miss Li showed us satellite weather tracking on her phone, predicting the storm’s path. For the first time, I didn’t see technology as an enemy of this place, but as its friends. A fierce sense of protection, mixed with a new-found awe, warmed me from within. I was no longer just an observer; I got involved.The autumn harvest was a success of this unlikely partnership. Grandfather placed a heavy hand on my shoulder. “This harvest,” he said, his voice thick with emotion, “has your mark on it.” A profound pride, deep and solid, settled in my chest. I finally understood that my growth wasn’t about escaping this land, but about enriching it. The vineyard was no longer my chain; it had become my canvas. In helping to revive its roots, I had discovered my own.4. What did the author initially think of his summer at the vineyardA. A burden. B. A reward. C. A lesson. D. An entertainment.5. What changed the author’s view of the vineyardA. Miss Li’s suggestion. B. His grandfather’s persuasion.C. His involvement in the vineyard. D. The new “Rural Revitalization” project.6. What does “canvas” in the last paragraph symbolizeA. The freedom of modern urban life.B. A material for recording one’s experience.C. The transition between tradition and modernity.D. A platform for realizing one’s potential and value.7. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the textA. From Chain to Canvas: My Growth in the VineyardB. A Summer Escape: From City Life to the CountrysideC. An Exciting Success: the “Rural Revitalization” ProjectD. The Lasting Conflict: Traditional Wisdom vs Modern TechCImagine being a tiny baby snail (蜗牛), just floating around the vast ocean for months until you find a suitable place to grow into an adult. This is the life of Kellet’s whelks. Historically, these sea snails lived only in the warm waters of Southern California and Mexico. However, in recent years, some have moved 300 kilometers north, to much colder waters, and scientists wanted to find out if they had truly adapted to the colder northern environment.To investigate this, researchers collected Kellet’s whelks from both southern and northern parts of the Pacific Coast of California. They brought all the snails to a special tank and kept them in controlled conditions. The adult snails were allowed to have babies. Scientists then studied the babies’ DNA because they had spent their entire lives in the same environment, making sure any observed differences were due to their genes, not their life experiences.The study revealed significant genetic differences between the northern and southern snails. A large number of genes (2,770) were working differently in the northern snails, with 64% of these genes being more active. These distinct gene patterns allowed researchers to accurately tell if a baby snail’s parents were from the north or south just by looking at its DNA. These results strongly suggest that the northern snails have adapted to their new, colder habitat. This adaptation involved mutations — if their genes hadn’t changed, the researchers wouldn’t have been able to tell the snails apart.But why did these whelks move north and how did they adapt Changing ocean currents carried some baby snails northward, and occasional warmer water bursts made it easier for them to survive there initially. Over time, snails that already had slight DNA differences helping them handle colder temperatures were more likely to survive and multiply. This research can help us understand how other ocean animals might respond to a changing climate and support sustainable fishing practices for species like Kellet’s whelks.8. What is the recent discovery about Kellet’s whelksA. A loss of their babies.B. A change in their size.C. A shift in their habitats.D. A drop in their population.9. Why did the scientists study the DNA of baby snailsA. To record their life experience.B. To make different observations.C. To rule out environmental factors.D. To control their living conditions.10. What does the underlined word “mutations” in paragraph 3 meanA. Changes in the DNA.B. Differences in the form.C. Weaknesses in the body.D. Adjustments in behavior.11. How is the text structuredA. Problem — Analysis — Solutions — Actions.B. Phenomenon — Methods — Findings — Implication.C. Argument — Evidence — Explanation — Conclusion.D. Observation — Assumption — Comparison — Application.DIt is unbelievable that climate change can affect cows’ diets, which in turn affect cheese’s nutritional value and sensory qualities — including its taste, color, and mouthfeel. This is at least true for Cantal, a hard cheese from central France, researchers report in the Journal of Dairy (乳制品) Science.Cows in this region traditionally feed on local grass. But as climate change causes more severe droughts, some dairy producers are shifting to alternative feeds like corn for their cows. “Farmers seek feeds that yield more or are more drought-tolerant than grass, but they also want to know how these dietary changes affect their products,” explains animal scientist Matthieu Bouchon.For almost five months, Bouchon and colleagues at France’s National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment tested 40 dairy cows of two breeds (品种) by creating a dry condition and supplementing grass with corn in varying amounts. The researchers regularly sampled the cows’ milk and analyzed its fatty acids, proteins, and beneficial microbes — key components that shape the production, quality and nutrition of cheese.The team found that a corn-based diet did not reduce milk yield and even led to an estimated reduction in methane, a major greenhouse gas emitted (排放) by cows. However, cheese from grass-fed cows was richer and more flavorful than that from cows mostly or entirely fed on corn. Grass-based diets also resulted in cheese with more heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and higher levels of beneficial lactic (乳的) acid bacteria. To preserve quality, the researchers suggest farmers should include fresh grass in cows’ corn-based feed.French producers will possibly need different strategies to fit their environment and cow breeds. But Bouchon is certain of one thing: “If climate change continues on its current path, we will feel it in our cheese.”12. What is the root cause of choosing alternative feedsA. Climate change. B. The shortage of grass.C. Producers’ concern. D. Farmers’ request.13. Which aspect of the research does Paragraph 3 mainly talk aboutA. Its influence. B. Its findings. C. Its significance. D. Its design.14. Which may be increased with the corn-based dietA. The flavor of cheese. B. The yield of milk.C. The emission of methane. D. The content of omega-3.15. What is the purpose of this textA. To provide tailored strategies for farmers.B. To stress French dairy producers’ worries.C. To explain the impact of climate change on cheese.D. To compare cheese from grass-fed and corn-fed cows.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。Nostalgia — the warm feeling of longing for the past— is everywhere in today’s culture.

As a senior high school student who loves animals, I had been feeding the three stray cats near the community gate for half a year. They were gentle — one black, one orange, and one white with patches — and they’d greet me every afternoon after school, their tails waving softly.But things started to go wrong. More neighbors noticed the cats and began bringing food: some left bowls of rice, some threw leftover bones, and others put out milk. At first, I was glad the cats were getting more care. However, the situation soon spiraled (急剧恶化) out of control. Food bowls piled up by the gate, attracting flies and ants in the summer heat. The leftover food smelled terrible when it went bad, making the entrance to our community an unpleasant place. What’s worse, a few more cats started wandering into residents’ yards, knocking over flower pots and leaving fur on cars.Complaints flooded the community group chat. “These cats are a nuisance (麻烦)!” one neighbor wrote. “Someone should drive them away!” another said angrily. A few animal lovers argued back, insisting we shouldn’t abandon the poor creatures. Tensions rose, and even my parents told me to stop feeding the cats, saying I was adding to the problem. I felt heartbroken — I didn’t want to give up on the cats, but I also hated seeing the community torn apart.One evening, as I stood by the gate watching the cats eat quietly, Ms. Li, our community manager, walked over. She didn’t scold me, but instead sighed and said, “We need a solution that works for everyone, not just the cats or the people who love them.” Her words gave me an idea. That night, I stayed up late, writing down a plan. The next morning, I went to see Ms. Li again, holding my notebook tightly. I hoped my plan would put an end to the conflict and save the stray cats.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。Ms. Li praised my plan and agreed to help me put it into practice.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________After two weeks of joint efforts, the community took on a brand-new look.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
