【答案】Dear fellow students,
Nowadays, many students are under heavy pressure and have developed an unhealthy lifestyle. Some students often stay up late studying, take little exercise and eat junk food to save time, which will surely threaten their health and study.
A healthy lifestyle guarantees good academic performance, so it’s necessary to take action to improve it. To begin with, we should go to bed early and get enough sleep to study more energetically the next day. In addition, we should keep a healthy diet and exercise outdoors daily. Only in this way can we not only build up our bodies but also reduce stress.
Thank you for listening!
【答案】
I started doing part-time jobs and yard work around the neighborhood. It was my turn to do something for them to repay their love. I had a tight schedule every day: I would deliver milk at dawn, and worked as a waiter in a restaurant at night. It wasn’t always easy. There were times when I felt as if I was torn up because I had to strike the balance between work and study. However, at the thought of my parents’ long-awaited cruise trip, I persevered in the jobs no matter how tired I was. I knew that one more coin I earned meant one step closer to making their dream a reality.
One year later, I finally saved up enough money! I was overwhelmed by an incredible feeling of accomplishment and excitement when I checked my savings account balance. I couldn’t wait to book two cruise tickets for them. When they opened the envelope containing the tickets, their eyes widened with surprise and disbelief. With their eyes blurred with tears, they gave me a tight hug, thanking me over and over again. Then they spent three unforgettable days on the cruise trip, enjoying each other’s company. At that moment, I knew that all my hard work and sacrifices were worth it.2025-2026学年湖北部分重点高中秋季学期高二期末考试英语试题

B
“Are you okay ” My brother Matthew asked from the driver’s seat as we hung upside down, trapped by our seat belts and covered in sand. Off-roading on 85, 000 acres of dunes (沙丘) in California had become our tradition. I felt the blood rushing to my head, my heart pounding like the loud bass (低音吉他) in a car. It reminded me of the four bass-loving brothers who lived across from us growing up. As a little girl, I often wondered if Matthew and I would ever have their friendship.
When Matthew found out he was to have a baby brother, he was over the moon. But to everyone’s surprise, “It’s a girl! ” His disappointment was obvious.
As soon as I could walk, my big brother was everything to me, my idol. But to him, I was an annoyance, though he found comfort in tormenting (捉弄) me. Yet, I put up with it, waiting for moments when he’d reach out from his loneliness.
The sibling relationship is unique, and it’s often the longest relationship we have in our entire lives. After learning that I missed him, Matthew unexpectedly invited me to visit him at university. In his room, he handed me a drink. We didn’t need many words; as siblings, we had a simple way of chatting.
He knew about my struggles — the family secrets — and became my rock. When I was excluded from the family Thanksgiving, he refused to attend without me. Instead, we had dinner — just the two of us.
My big brother, once a tormentor, had become my protector and friend. But after our off-roading accident, I saw him differently — vulnerable and unprotected. “Are you okay Are you bleeding ” I checked his injuries. The man I’d seen as strong was now human, fragile.
As we got ourselves back upright, I realized it was time for me to be his protector. Our shared bond had grown even deeper. I looked at my big brother, and we both smiled. Without him, my life would be unimaginably different. It was my turn to protect him. Thankfully, we had let each other in.
24. Why did the author mention the four bass-loving brothers in the first paragraph
A. To highlight her admiration for their musical taste.
B. To show her childhood longing for brotherly friendship.
C. To explain the reason for her initial distance from Mathew.
D. To illustrate the noisy environment of their childhood.
25. Why did the author think Matthew became her rock
A. He was excluded from the family Thanksgiving.
B He knew his own struggles and family secrets.
C. He supported me when I was not included in the family gathering.
D. He refused to attend the family Thanksgiving party with me.
26. Which of the following can best describe Matthew
A. Creative and brave
B. Ambitious and romantic
C. Thoughtful and protective
D. Courageous and humorous
27. Which is the best title of the passage
A. Off-roading Adventure in California’s Dunes
B. Sibling Bonds: From Torment to Protection
C. Family Secrets and Thanksgiving Celebrations
D. Unexpected Challenges of Brotherhood
C
Many people live with chronic (慢性) pain, and there’re complex reasons for it. Now a new study researcher Laura Case of the University of California, San Diego, co-authoring with Jennifer Baumgartner, suggests a new potential influence on pain: feeling socially connected.
This new study reanalyzed measures collected in an earlier study, in which a group of chronic pain sufferers had been randomly arranged an intervention (干预) shown to reduce pain (sleeping with a heavily-weighted blanket) or to a control condition(sleeping with a slightly-weighted blanket). After sleeping with their blankets for a week, changes in people’s pain levels were assessed.
In the earlier study, the pain sufferers had also reported on their anxiety, levels of loneliness, and sense of social connectedness—not how many social connections they had, but how generally close they were to other people and how strongly they experienced a sense of belonging. But these hadn’t all been analyzed to see how they related to pain and pain relief from the blankets. That’s where the new study came in.
The new findings showed that people who were more socially connected experienced less pain than those who were less socially connected. After taking into account differences in how much pain relief the sufferers expected and how painful they felt in the beginning, those who were socially disconnected felt more pain relief from the weighted blanket than from the lighter blanket, while more socially connected people received equal pain relief from both blankets.
These findings show that having a sense of belonging provides some level of protection against pain. Why Socially connected people probably feel safer and less anxious, says Baumgartner, because they know they can depend on others for support when they’re hurting. Besides, positive social touch—like receiving a friendly hug or massage—has been shown to reduce pain feel, and people who’re more socially connected likely experience more of those types of touch, Case adds.
Their study adds to a growing body of research showing how important social connectedness and social touch are for our health and happiness—something that’s been getting more attention in recent years.
28. What did the new study mainly focus on
A. The participants’ pain levels. B. The effects of social connections on pain.
C. The different interventions. D. The participants’ similar sense of belonging.
29. What can be learnt from the new study
A Being socially disconnected worsened people’s pain.
B. People having more social connections experienced no pain.
C. People’s initial pain levels had few effects on the participants.
D. The weighted blanket benefited those socially disconnected a lot.
30. What does Case probably suggest people do in paragraph 5
A. Compete with each other. B. Avoid too much touch.
C. Hug their friends more. D. Control their feelings.
31. From which section of the newspaper is the text probably taken
A. Health. B. Technology. C. Environment. D. People.
D
Most of us would like to be more creative, but we assume there is little we can do about it. Psychology professor K. Anders Ericsson claims that with enough practice, any of us can become experts. However, he is quick to add that this requires a specific kind of practice that Ericsson calls “deliberate practice”, that is, pushing beyond one’s comfort zone and setting goals that are above one’s current level of performance. He says he has yet to find the limits on being successful and he doesn’t believe them to be real.
Ericsson has looked primarily at artistic and athletic skills, but can these findings apply to creativity Most experts agree that even if most people cannot hope to become creative geniuses, they can learn to become more creative through practice. Psychologists claim that there are actually two levels of creativity, which they refer to as “Big C” and “small c”. Big C creativity applies to breakthrough ideas, ones that may change the course of a field or even history. Small c creativity refers to everyday creative problem solving, like creating a new recipe or improving a process, which psychologists subdivide further into similar and different thinking. Similar thinking involves examining all the facts and arriving at a single solution. In contrast, different thinking involves coming up with many possible solutions. What most people think of as creativity generally involves different thinking and can be taught, practised and learnt.
Even with practice, different thinking alone cannot make one creative, however. Scott Barry Kaufman, a cognitive psychologist, says that most creative people share one personality quality: openness to new experience. Since this quality and these processes have been identified, less creative people can try to emulate them. Normally, we tend to reproduce what we already know because creative ideas move us into unfamiliar territory involving risks and following the usual behaviors is comfortable.
Moving outside of our comfort zone, engaging indeliberate practice and tolerating contradictory ideas, risk and failure are all things we can learn to do better. It is unlikely that doing so will transform any of us into creative geniuses, but it does have the potential to increase our level of creativity.
32. Why does Ericsson think he can’t find the limits
A. No restrictions exist. B. Practice makes perfect.
C. Each one can succeed. D. The goal is ambitious.
33. Which of the following is an example of “small c”
A. Settling in outer space.
B. Building a plastic doghouse.
C. Developing robots to look after the old.
D. Explaining the theory of evolution in class.
34. What does the underlined word “emulate” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Defend. B. Limit. C. Assess. D. Copy.
35. What message does the author seem to convey in the text
A. We can learn to be more creative.
B. Life is full of various challenges.
C. It’s better to take deliberate practice.
D. Most can become creative geniuses.

Time capsules are not only fun to create but also become treasures when opened years later. ____36____ By following these key steps, you can ensure your capsule preserves memories effectively for its future audience — whether yourself, family, or strangers.
____37____ Tailor contents to who will open it. For yourself, select personal reminders like daily-use earbuds, an old key, or a favorite takeout menu. For children or grandchildren, combine significant family items (e. g., wedding invitations) with era-defining objects, such as current technology, to showcase both personal and historical context. ____38____ For the far future discoverers, focus on the era you are in. Things that may seem to be of little value now may fascinate someone in 100 years.
Pick an appropriate container to use for your time capsule. Use a shoebox or old suitcase for short-term, indoor storage. These are portable and convenient. ____39____ If you plan to place the capsule outdoors or bury it, select a container that is likely to survive, like a commercial or home-built stainless steel, or PVC plastic capsule.
Fasten the capsule tightly and store it appropriately. While burial may not be the best choice, it is the classic way to store your capsule. One positive side is that it is less likely to be removed or opened early. ____40____ Indoor time capsules are a secure alternative. While more inviting to open, consider this approach for shorter term storage.
With thoughtful preparation, your time capsule will bridge generations and spark curiosity in the future.
A. Prioritize including items that are small and easy to store.
B. However, such materials may be destroyed by fire or floods.
C. Choose items to include in your time capsule for your audience.
D. On the other hand, buried capsules risks exposure to groundwater.
E The key lies in balancing emotional value with practical preservation.
F. A metal lockbox, though heavier, provides better security than plastic containers.
G. For example, a smartphone today can demonstrate our tech trends to future generations.

My father was sixty. Though he had planned on retiring at fifty-five, he was still working hard. For him, raising four children — especially now that my mother had stopped working and was at home full time — meant he couldn’t afford to retire. It also meant he couldn’t make good on something he had promised my mother. “Sweetheart,” he’d say, “I’m going to take you on a cruise (乘船游览).” He still told her that, and only these days he added, “as soon as the kids are out of college.”
I knew that putting all of us kids through college probably meant it was going to be a while before my father achieved his dream of going away with my mother on a cruise — though it didn’t stop him from cutting out ads about cruise vacations! It was cute, but it was kind of sad, too. I remember my grandmother always wanted to go to Nova Scotia. My grandfather would always say, “We’ll go next year, sweetheart.” Then she died. My grandmother never got to see Nova Scotia. I just didn’t want my parents to wait until it was too late.
I decided to save up my money to send my parents on a cruise even if it was a short three-day cruise. My friends said to me, “Get real! Saving up for a cruise is something you’ll never be able to do.” But I didn’t believe that. It was not like I could send them around the world or anything, but I didn’t think my putting together the money for a short trip was an impossible goal. I was determined that just as my parents had made my dreams come true for all these years from my first bicycle to my first soccer camp — I was going to do all I could to make their dream of going on a cruise come true.
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。
I started doing part-time jobs and yard work around the neighborhood.
