Here are four ways to experience your trip.Hot—air balloon safari in Pilanesberg, South AfricaThis is the only hot-air balloon safari to launch from inside a park in South Africa. You’ll spot the ‘big five’ (lion, elephant, buffalo, rhinoceros and leopard) among the 7,000 creatures in Pilanesberg in a hot-air balloon and get a bird’s eye view of their behaviour.A five-night stay at the Palace of The Lost City, includes a hot-air balloon safari, breakfast, return economy flights. From 2,595 per person, based on two adults sharing.Horse safari in Chyulu Hills, KenyaAt ol Donyo Lodge in the Chyulu Hills, you’ll find a stable of 22 horses, including calm and hardy Boerperds for beginners (aged 12 and above) and a selection of thoroughbreds for the intermediate and advanced.A seven-night stay at Great Plains ol Donyo Lodge, with daily horse safaris, starts at 7,700 per person, excluding flights.Sleep out in Onguma, NamibiaThe Namibia’s vast Etosha National Park has five lodges, two campsites and 34,000 hectares of wilderness — and offers the opportunity to sleep under the stars on a custom-built Dream Cruiser.Rainbow Tours offers a six-night trip from 5,595 per person including the unique Dream Cruiser experience, international flights and internal transfers.Walking safari in Mana Pools, ZimbabweYou can go off the beaten track to places almost untouched by human activity. 70% of the Mana Pools National Park is accessible only on foot, so the animals are used to seeing people and are more relaxed than when approached by vehicles.

His idea is simple but effective: children who become noisy during the journey are gently handed a test paper, and upon completing it, are rewarded with stickers. Meanwhile, children who remain quiet throughout the ride are given stickers directly as a form of positive reinforcement (强化). The idea, which started during the summer travel rush, has received overwhelming support from parents and netizens. Many praised it for turning a potentially noisy carriage (车厢) into a peaceful environment, while also giving children something meaningful to do during the journey.The inspiration came from observing parents who brought homework for their children on board. Wanting to help those who hadn’t come prepared, Qin began printing out simple exercises to share.This low-cost but thoughtful solution has been described as a “magical fix”, as it eases pressure on parents, entertains young passengers, and helps maintain order in a public space. It’s also seen as a reflection of growing human-centered innovation in public service.Qin’s fellow railway staff have also adopted various child-friendly practices. Some bring picture books or small toys, others create “kids’ kits” with puzzles and games. On certain trains, a children’s activity area has even been set up in the dining car. Railway staff also encourage parents to prepare entertainment in advance — such as downloading cartoons or bringing educational games — to help children enjoy the ride calmly and constructively.Balancing children’s natural liveliness with public order is no easy task. But initiatives like this show that thoughtful, human-centered solutions can go a long way toward creating more harmonious public spaces.24.What does Qin Yunhao do to keep children quiet on the train A.He sets up activity areas. B.He provides books and toys.C.He gives out test papers and stickers. D.He downloads cartoons and games.25.What made Qin Yunhao decide to hand out worksheets A.He hoped to make the summer rush more fun.B.He wanted to protect children’s natural liveliness.C.He was required to create more harmonious public areas.D.He saw some parents unprepared for their kids’ homework.26.What do people think of Qin Yunhao’s solution A.It fits the summer rush. B.It is expensive but effective.C.It makes carriages peaceful. D.It puts pressure on parents and kids.27.What is the best title for the text A.Railway Activities for Kids. B.Ways to Play with Kids on Trains.C.Harmonious Summer Travel. D.A Train Attendant’s Idea to Calm Kids.With a surface hot enough to melt lead in its atmosphere, Venus has been described as “Earth’s evil twin” — similar in size, yet worlds apart. The question of whether Venus was ever habitable has long been a hot topic among scientists. Some astronomers believe the planet was once much more hospitable, but a recent research by Tereza Constantinou, a PhD student from the University of Cambridge, has now dealt a blow to the idea that it ever hosted life as we know it.Constantinou noted that early in the formation of Venus, the planet was covered in a vast sea of magma (岩浆). If this cooled quickly, water would form oceans or be trapped as it crystallised (结晶), meaning the planet’s interior (内部) would be water-rich. As a result, water would be released when volcanoes erupt. “If you look at any photos of volcanism on Earth, you can see these large clouds coming out. Most of that is water,” said Constantinou. But if the magma cooled slowly, water would have ended up as steam in the atmosphere. In this situation, water would not be trapped inside the interior of the planet.Constantinou and his colleagues studied changes in the Venusian atmosphere to cast light on the water content of its interior. When they analysed the amount of substances being refilled, they found very little water was being added. In other words, volcanic eruptions are “dry”. “The shortage of water in volcanic release reflects an equally dry Venusian interior,” said Constantinou. The team announced that their findings did not support the theory that Venus had surface oceans of water in its past, or a habitable climate.Their conclusion could soon be tested. Later this decade, NASA is set to launch a mission to carry out fly-bys of Venus. Constantinou said resolving the question could help astronomers rule out Venus as a habitable planet now that the dry interior of Venus suggests it never has the oceans of liquid water traditionally thought necessary for life to begin.28.What is the finding of the recent research A.Venus is Earth’s identical twin. B.Venus sets the whole world apart.C.Venus was unlikely to sustain life. D.Venus was more habitable than thought.29.What is paragraph 2 mainly talking about concerning the research A.Its methods. B.Its procedures.C.Its potential impact. D.Its theoretical foundation.30.How did Constantinou and his colleagues draw their conclusion A.By analysing the changes of water content. B.By studying the properties of substances.C.By investigating the components of water. D.By examining the differences of volcanoes.31.What can the finding be used to do according to Constantinou A.Carry out more fly-bys. B.Identify upcoming threats.C.Conduct Venus observations. D.Narrow down astronomers’ search.Quick: what’s your best friend’s phone number Don’t feel bad if you couldn’t answer off the top of your head. You have no reason to commit phone numbers to memory: it’s just there in your phone. Or perhaps you once had a phone book to store them. In either case, an object does the remembering for you.“Prosthetic memory” (人工记忆) is nothing new. Writing itself has been a means of storing information. Yet the information revolution has generated more data than ever before. We are flooded with information. We’re creating more of it, and keeping more of it. The storage capacity of the human brain has since been eclipsed. No wonder, then, that we’re increasingly dependent on memory prostheses, from libraries to smartphones.Not everyone thinks this trend in external memory is good. Historically, memory prostheses were expensive. As technologies such as printing and photography become more affordable, sharing experiences with others is easier than ever. So every breakfast, every sunset, every encounter with a cat finds its way on to social media. And here comes the worry. When we devote ourselves to capturing and sharing the world in this way, something immensely valuable is lost; when recording so much of our lives, we’re forgetting to actually live them, and so disconnect ourselves from experience.But is our social media-driven transformation wholly bad If we’re still creating and sharing memories like this, perhaps this is because we’ve not had sufficient time to learn how to do these things without thinking about what we’re doing. It is easy to ignore that the mass social media era is less than a decade old. That’s just a short blink (眨眼) in human history, yet it has totally changed how we live. I suspect we’re not far off from being directly faced with experience yet with the ability to share experience in ways less bounded by geography and time. After all, technology can protect all the moments of a life that would otherwise be lost.32.What can be inferred from paragraph 1 A.Technology weakens our brains. B.We are burdened with phone numbers.C.We rely more on tools to memorize. D.Technology distances us from our friends.33.What does the underlined word “eclipsed” in paragraph 2 mean A.Improved. B.Undervalued. C.Restricted. D.Outperformed.34.What negative effect does online sharing bring about A.An overflow of posts. B.High cost of digital devices.C.Addiction to the virtual world. D.Disregard for authentic experience.35.What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph A.Have faith in human brains. B.Take time to adapt to digital age.C.Quicken the pace of development. D.Make efforts to enhance memory.In our constant pursuit of productivity and achievement, we often overlook the quality of our daily experiences. We fill our hours with tasks, yet wonder why we so frequently feel exhausted, distracted, or unsatisfied. What if the key to a more fulfilling life isn’t about doing more, but about doing differently 36 Activities actually can be divided into different categories. Understanding what each category truly is helps make better choices.Pleasing activities are low-effort, high-reward. You don’t need to plan them far in advance or clear out a full afternoon. It might be a walk in nature, listening to your favorite playlist, or calling a friend just to say hello. 37 One of the biggest misconceptions about fun is that it has to be some grand event. In truth, the most restorative moments often come from these smaller, everyday pleasures.38 They might feel challenging at first, but they match with your values and leave you with a real sense of meaning. It could be learning a new skill that pushes you out of your comfort zone. These types of experiences take more effort than Pleasing activities, but they often help us feel more alive.Yielding activities are activities that require little effort but offer little satisfaction. 39 Or visualize the repeated check of your inbox without urgency. These activities can be harmless ways to relax. But when overused, they quietly replace more meaningful experiences.Once you’ve reflected on how you currently spend your time, try making one small shift each day. Choose a Pleasing or Living activity you would like to engage in more, even something simple like a short walk or trying something new that is consistent with your values. 40A.Try to change how you handle these activities.B.Living activities are the activities that stretch you.C.Think of the mindless scanning through social media.D.Unbearable activities are the things that leave you drained.E.The goal is to replace distracted moments with engaged ones.F.This begins by recognizing that not all activities affect us equally.G.These are simple joys that don’t require much but offer a genuine reward.三、完形填空Hillary Krieger was sitting in her parents’ house with her friend, David. The man 41 squirted (喷溅) orange juice all over himself. “I shouted, ‘Oh, the orange just orbisculated,’” she later 42 . David was thrown into 43 , “It did what ”Curious herself, Hillary quickly grabbed a dictionary and 44 to the “O” section — only to freeze.

But that frustration faded fast. Soon, she began to see “orbisculate” not as a mistake, but as a 50 — a small window into her father’s inventive soul. “It speaks to his 51 ,” she believes. “Even when something is annoying-like orange juice in your eye — he found a way to laugh at it, turning a 52 moment into something fun.”Two decades later, Hillary’s father passed away. Sorrow settled over her, but so did 53 : “Orbisculate” deserved a place in the dictionary. Her goal wasn’t just to get a word 54 ; it was to keep her father’s joy alive.

One day, Ben was playing basketball in the living room after school, when he accidentally threw the ball at a vase sitting on the shelf. The vase dropped to the floor, and a large piece broke off. What made Ben more upset was that the vase was not a common decoration but an antique (古董), which was handed down through generations from the 18th century. It was also his mother’s favourite possession. To cover his terrible action, the terrified boy glued the pieces together hastily and put the vase back in its place.As the mother herself dusted the vase every day, she naturally noticed the cracks (裂纹) that evening. To her surprise, the repair work was actually very good. At dinner time, she asked her boy if he had broken the vase. Fearing punishment, the suddenly inspired boy said that a neighbor’s cat jumped in from the window and he couldn’t drive it away, no matter how hard he tried. It raced around the living room and finally knocked the vase off its shelf. His mother was quite clear that her son was lying, for all the windows were closed before she left for work each morning and opened after she returned. However, in the face of her son’s nervous eyes and the suspicious looks of the other family members, Ben’s mother remained calm. She realized she shouldn’t just simply blame and punish her son for lying. She came up with another idea.Before going to bed, the boy found a note from his mother in his room, asking him to go to the study at once. The boy thought he would now be punished, but, as he had already lied, he decided to deny everything, no matter how angry his mum became.In the study, calmly bathed in the light, his mother’s face showed no sign of anger. On seeing her son push open the door and cautiously enter, she took a chocolate box out of a drawer and gave him one.注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。The mother said, “This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window-opening cat!”___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Now with some chocolates in hand, the boy’s bad attitude disappeared.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________参考答案题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10答案 C A C B A B C A B B题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20答案 C A B C A C B A C A题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30答案 B D C C D C D C D A题号 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40答案 D C D D B F G B C E题号 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50答案 C A B D C B A D A C题号 51 52 53 54 55答案 C A D B B1.C【原文】W: There are many good places for shopping in London.

So he did. He had never sung in public before. Now he was singing for the very first time! Nobody had expected he could sing so beautifully! All the people present had a good time and the pianist was also very happy because he found that he could sing well.He may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name pianist in a no-name bar. Now he found, by accident, his ability to sing, so he went on working hard on singing. Later, the pianist became one of the best-known singers in the US. His name was Nat King Cole. You, too, have skills and abilities that you haven’t found. You may not feel that your talent is great, but it may be better than you think. With hard work, most skills can be improved.

Shocked to discover what he has ordered is actually raw, Mr. Bean busies himself getting rid of it desperately, by hiding it in absurd places like the sugar bowl, a vase, a bread roll, and even into a nearby lady's purse and the violinist's trousers.Mr. Bean’s unique humor and amusing creativity convey an evident message to students under pressure — to approach challenges with a lighter heart, to laugh at mistakes, and to find creative solutions outside the box. So I recommend it to all of you.Possible Version 2The Mr. Bean series, starring Rowan Atkinson, is a timeless masterpiece of physical comedy, turning everyday chaos into laugh-out-loud moments.Set in an elegant French restaurant, a classic scene unfolds where Mr. Bean tries to fit in but ending up in one funny mess after another. Shocked to discover what he has ordered is actually raw, Mr. Bean busies himself getting rid of it desperately, by hiding it in absurd places like the sugar bowl, a vase, a bread roll, and even into a nearby lady's purse and the violinist's trousers.Rowan Atkinson's masterful performance successfully portrays Mr. Bean as a clumsy and amusing character, using brilliant expressions and gestures to create endless laughter without a single word, and therefore keeps the episodes loved by audiences across generations. I strongly recommend it to you all.67. The mother said, “This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window-opening cat!” Ben’s face turned red as he stared at the chocolate in his hand. His mother gently touched his head and continued, “You glued the vase carefully, which shows you truly cared about making things right.” She paused, her eyes warm and understanding. “But imagination should help us solve problems, not hide from them.” Ben bit his lip, realizing his mother had known the truth all along.Now with some chocolates in hand, the boy’s bad attitude disappeared. He took a deep breath and whispered, “Mom, I’m sorry. I broke the vase while playing basketball and lied to you.” His mother smiled softly, “I’m proud of you for telling the truth. Mistakes happen, but honesty is more precious than any antique.” She handed him another chocolate, “Let’s fix it together tomorrow, okay ” Ben nodded, holding the chocolate tightly, grateful for his mother’s wisdom and love. 展开更多...... 收起↑ 资源列表 南阳市第一中学校2025-2026学年高二上学期第二次月考(10月)英语听力.mp3 南阳市第一中学校2025-2026学年高二上学期第二次月考(10月)英语试卷.docx
