【原文】M: Do you remember those strange paintings we saw when we were on holiday last year
W: Yes, they were painted by Picasso. You weren’t impressed, were you
M: No. I expected everything in Paris to be beautiful. If I wanted to see ugly things, I could find some at home in England. I wouldn’t need to go to France.
W: Well, a lot of people like them. In fact, Picasso is one of Spain’s most famous people.
M: I don’t know why. None of the paintings looked like real things.
W: But that was intended. You can love Picasso or hate Picasso, but it is hard not to have an opinion about his work.
M: We can agree on that.

【原文】W: Hi, David. Did you watch the skiing race last weekend
M: yeah! Did you see how fast Sarah finished her run
W: Absolutely! Her turns were so sharp, and she barely missed any gates. But what about Mark He almost lost his balance at the last turn.
M: True, but he managed to recover quickly. That’s what separates the professionals from the rest. By the way, are you planning to join the skiing club this winter
W: I’m thinking about it. I need to practice more.
M: Just remember to keep your weight forward and give it your full attention. Maybe we can practice together sometime.
W: That sounds great! I could use some tips from an experienced skier like you.
M: Anytime! Let’s aim for next weekend.
W: OK!

【原文】W: We have tickets for the new modern art exhibition. You’ve been, haven’t you
M: Yes, I went to the preview.
W: And what did you think
M: There were some clever works by a young sculptor. Lots of animals like lions.
W: What about paintings I usually like them because I’m into painting.
M: There was a collection of some paintings of the artists themselves in different styles. Some are more impressive than others. I have to say I actually found a fantastic exhibit outside on the museum grounds. There’s a statue of my favorite conductor. It looks so real.
W: That sounds interesting. Were there any interactive exhibits
M: Actually, yes. One of the activities allowed visitors to participate in creating their own paintings and designs. It was great to see everyone’s creativity.
W: That sounds like a fun way to engage visitors and make the exhibition more interactive.

【原文】Good morning, students. This is your headmaster speaking. Firstly, I’d like to welcome you all back. I hope this will be another excellent school year.
Many changes have taken place at the school over the summer. As well as a new group of students, we’re also welcoming some new members of staff. They’re Mr Smith, who will be teaching physics, Miss Chang, the new Chinese teacher and our new boys’ PE coach, Mr Black.
You will also notice several changes to the school puter classes will now take place in the new technology center, which is behind the teaching building. The old computer rooms are now a part of the library, which is now much bigger and collects thousands of new books. The school meeting hall has been much improved, and we now have a proper place to perform concerts and plays.
Though there are many changes in our school, the rules remain the same. Be on time, and always do your best. Thank you!

【原文】W: Studies show that napping can improve your well-being if done right. However, napping for too long can end up having a negative impact on your overall health, and may also shorten your lifespan. Chelsie Rohrscheib, head sleep expert at sleep testing firm Wesper, told Newsweek that people who take long naps are likely to get low-quality sleep at night. She said, “Poor sleep at night has major negative effects on health. Additionally, we also see high rates of sleep disorders in people who require long naps during the day. Another consideration is that people who need long naps are generally pretty tired and lazy during the day, and therefore they’re more likely to spend a lot of time sitting down.” According to Raj Dasgupta, chief medical adviser for Sleep Advisor, needing long naps may often be a sign that something is wrong with your body. “If you find yourself needing long or multiple naps to get through the day, you might have a sleep disorder or medical condition,” he said. According to Dasgupta, if you feel tired and have an opportunity to take a short nap in the early afternoon, then napping can be a beneficial way to improve your productivity, although he warns against getting into the habit of taking naps routinely. “If you get a good sleep at night and feel energetic during the day, you most likely do not need to nap,” he added.

【原文】Good afternoon, dear listeners. In today’s program, I’d like to talk about a common exercise many people love: running early in the morning. Why Actually, it has many benefits. Not only will you begin a day more relaxed, but also you’ve already had a sense of achievement. If you’re also eager to enjoy the benefits of a morning run, try these: First, getting ready for a painful start. To many people, getting up early in the morning can be a great pain, especially in cold winter days. So, early to bed, early to rise, and make it a habit. Of equal importance is to keep an open mind. Even if you’ve made enough preparation and determination, there are still times when you want to quit. My advice is to accept the setback and, instead of giving up, keep going. Another helpful way is to find someone to be together with you. This can make things more interesting. He or she not only gives you company but also serves as a monitor.

【原文】M: I’ve been at the gym every day this week, except for Wednesday.
W: Why What happened on Wednesday
M: Our work meeting ran over, so I didn’t have time.
W: Well, you should have more than one rest day.
M: I only work one section of my body per day.
W: What do you mean
M: Well, on Monday I worked on my arms, on Tuesday my legs, and on Thursday my back muscles.
W: I couldn’t do that. I just go home and play with my dog and watch TV.
M: Yeah, but you cycle to and from work. You do a lot of exercise as part of your daily routine.
W: This is true. I walk the dog in the morning too, but I can’t play football any more ever since I broke my leg.

Impressions from the AI Creative Design Exhibition
As a participant in the AI Creative Design Exhibition held by our school’s tech workshop, I’m eager to share my thoughts. The exhibition stood out for its diverse works, from AI painting to smart home prototypes. What’s more, there were live demos where creators explained their design ideas, making tech more approachable.
I joined an interactive session to try AI image generation, which was both fun and eye-opening. However, the exhibition space was a bit crowded, and some demo equipment lacked instructions. I hope next time the venue can be larger and detailed guides can be prepared for each work.
Overall, it was a fantastic event that sparked my interest in AI!
67．One possible version:
My neighbor was the only one taking action. Quickly putting aside his miracle meal, my neighbour stood up and guided the elderly man to share his seat. Hardly had he seated himself when my neighbour tenderly put his jacket over the elderly man’s shoulders. He said with a smile, “Can you help out ”, passing the meal and placing the steaming cup of soup in his hands. The old man obviously was astonished, but he accepted it with gratitude. Seeing this, I was so ashamed of myself. At the moment, my head and heart stopped battling, determined to buy a meal for my neighbour.
I went to buy food from the food court, with tears welling up in my eyes. What my neighbour said exactly spoke my mind. Despite a sense of guilt in my heart, I felt it was my job to do the same. After a while, I came back with steaming soup and a sandwich. I approached my neighbour respectfully, “Can you help me out ” I asked “Why not ” He responded jokingly. People around cast admiring look on me, which made me relieved. It wasn’t until that day that I truly understand the meaning of sharing. I left the subway station, feeling warmer, even if the bitter cold wind filled the air.2025～2026学年第二学期 高二年级4月诊断考试英语试卷

On Europe’s largest artificial lake near Alqueva, Portugal, a remarkable solar energy project is proving that clean technology and nature can work hand in hand. Developed by energy company EDP, this floating solar plant — once questioned for its high costs — now demonstrates how renewable energy can adapt to modern challenges while protecting the environment.
The project’s first phase uses 12,000 solar panels fixed on floating platforms made partly from recycled plastic and local wood. These platforms connect to a smart energy system linked to a nearby hydroelectric (水力发电的) dam. This connection allows the solar plant to skip the lengthy process of joining traditional solar farms to power grids, speeding up clean energy delivery to communities.
Building solar farms on water, however, comes with unique difficulties. Engineers must design structures strong enough to survive storms, waves, and constant water exposure, which increases costs. Nature itself adds another challenge: fish in the lake attract birds, whose droppings cover the panels and block sunlight. To solve this, the team uses remote-controlled cleaning robots and is testing models that operate independently.
Despite these challenges, floating solar offers clear benefits. By using space on dam reservoirs, it avoids taking up valuable land needed for farming or housing. Water naturally cools the panels, making them 5%–15% more efficient than land-based systems — a key advantage for energy production. Additionally, the shade from the panels reduces water evaporation by up to 70%, helping conserve resources in dry regions.
EDP has big plans for the technology. While the current project produces 5 megawatts (MW) of power — enough for about 1,500 homes — a second phase will expand this to 70 MW by 2025. Experts predict floating solar could reach 60,000 MW globally by 2031. Though minor compared to the world’s total solar capacity (1.6 million MW), its role is vital. As one report notes, “Every solution matters in the fight against climate change.”
By combining solar power with hydropower, this project offers a practical blueprint for a sustainable future — one where technology and nature coexist to light up our world.
24．What is the key feature of the Alqueva project’s design
A．Complete use of recycled materials for platforms. B．Full automation of energy storage processes.
C．Connection to a nearby hydroelectric system. D．Largest solar panels ever used in Europe.
25．What problem is caused by birds near the floating solar panels
A．Reduced sunlight reaching the panels. B．Damage to the platforms during storms.
C．Harm to the lake’s fish populations. D．Interference with robot operations.
26．The underlined phrase “minor compared to” suggests that floating solar’s capacity is ______.
A．underestimated by energy experts B．visually smaller than land systems
C．growing faster than expected D．much less than current solar totals
27．What is the author’s attitude toward floating solar technology
A．Supportive of its role in climate efforts. B．Overly optimistic about its global impact.
C．Critical due to high maintenance costs. D．Neutral about its environmental benefits.
C
For one woman, a quiet walk in the neighborhood turned into a life-saving task.
All was calm until a weak sound cut through the quiet. At first, she thought she imagined it — a soft cry, almost too quiet to notice. But then it came again, clearer this time: a small, frightened cry. Her heart jumped a beat. She stopped. Something was wrong. A dog was in trouble.
She looked at nearby yards, fences, and sidewalks — and then realized the cries were coming from below. Leaning over a storm drain (泄水沟), she saw at the bottom sat a dog, wide-eyed, shaking, and badly hoping someone would hear her.
Without hesitation, she called Animal Law Enforcement for help. Corporal Rollins arrived quickly, looking over the situation. The drain was too narrow for a simple rescue (营救), and the space below was small, making it impossible to climb in safely. Then Rollins noticed a nearby well cover. After the cover was lifted, a dark tunnel (通道) appeared, and almost immediately, the dog carefully walked toward the light, as if sensing that help had arrived.
Officer Moore soon joined Rollins, and together they formed a careful plan. With patience, calm voices, and treats in hand, Rollins climbed down and slowly earned the dog’s trust. Dirty, frightened, but unharmed, she finally allowed herself to be fixed and lifted safely out of the tunnel.
The frightened dog, named Kita, was brought to the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region. Her photo was quickly posted, and almost immediately her family recognized her. They rushed to the place, overjoyed to be reunited with their beloved dog. Before leaving, they made the right choice to microchip (植入芯片) her, making sure she could always find her way home in the future.
Another life has been saved. Another happy tail has returned to the home where it rightfully belongs.
28．What was the dog doing when the woman found it
A．It was calling for help. B．It was lying quietly there.
C．It was running in the street. D．It was searching for food.
29．Which can best describe the method of the rescue
A．Proper. B．Costly. C．Stressful. D．Strange.
30．What did the dog do when being rescued
A．It refused to move. B．It cried loudly.
C．It fought against the rescuers. D．It believed in the rescuers.
31．Which saying best fits what the dog’s owners did at last
A．Every dog has its day. B．Love me, love my dog.
C．Better late than never. D．Every coin has two sides.
D
In the age of artificial intelligence (AI), foreign language learning seems to be unnecessary. There are now translation tools to understand song lyrics, translate websites, and make automatic captions when people watch foreign videos and movies. Our phones can quickly translate spoken words. They can also help teachers communicate with parents who speak different languages. Why invest time and effort in learning another language when technology can do it for you Because the new technology also has certain limits, and learning languages offers certain unexpected advantages.
In 2019, staff at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement Detention Centre in the United States used AI translation to process a refugee application. The voice-translation tool failed to understand the applicant’s regional accent or dialect, leading to the applicant spending six months in detention (扣押) unable to communicate effectively with anyone.
When it comes to learning additional languages, it ranks among the most effective ways to enhance our overall well-being, offering significant benefits to brain flexibility, cognitive health, and increased opportunities for personal career development.
The importance of knowing multiple languages for their social benefits and promoting cultural democracy has also been emphasized. This year, the Council of Europe launched the “Language education at the heart of democracy” programme. The goal is to highlight the significance of learning languages for building a fairer society.
In Aotearoa New Zealand, English is mostly spoken. Te reo Māori and New Zealand Sign Language are also recognized as official languages. Approximately 29% of citizens are born overseas. There are more than 150 languages spoken, with at least 24 spoken by over 10,000 individuals. The presence of these languages is crucial to social democracy.
While AI-powered translation technology has its applications, the advantages of being bilingual or multilingual — both individually and collectively — risk being overlooked if we merely rely on technology for communication and neglect to support second language learning.
32．Why does the author mention the 2019 AI translation event
A．To prove AI limits in translation. B．To show AI power in language.
C．To criticize human dependence on AI. D．To suggest an urgent improvement in AI.
33．What advantage does a bilingual have over his monolingual colleagues
A．He possesses more wealth. B．He has a more complicated brain.
C．He can better cooperate with AI. D．He expects broader career prospects.
34．How does the author illustrate the language impact on social democracy
A．By showing cause and effect. B．By making comparisons.
C．By listing figures. D．By giving a definition.
35．What is the main idea of the text
A．AI will take over language translation someday. B．Learning foreign languages is irreplaceable.
C．Language diversity ensures social democracy. D．AI has a bad effect on language learning.

He, along with two other engineers, developed the telegraph and the code 57 use a set of dots and dashes or short and long pulses to represent each letter of the English alphabet. The first working telegraph was produced in 1836. This made 58 possible to send messages over any 59 (distant). The first Morse code message 60 (send) from Washington to Baltimore in 1844.
Today experienced operators copy received text without the need to write as they receive. Morse code can be sent 61 (use) sound or light, as sometimes happens between ships at sea. It can be used to send messages in English 62 many other languages. For languages not 63 (write) with the Latin alphabet, other versions of Morse code are used.

While walking along the street, the bitter cold of a December day in Barrow was ruining my mood. The temperature was below zero so I rushed into the sub way station, hoping to get warm.
Warmth came to my body as I settled onto a bench with a cup of hot coffee. Now I was ready to relax and do some serious people-watching. I noticed a homeless man seated nearby. The pleasant smell of delicious food from the subway food court (美食广场) was attracting me to consider an early dinner. From the longing look in my neighbor’s eyes, it was obvious that he, too, noticed the good smell. I wondered how long it had been since he had eaten anything, expecting he would approach me for some food. But he never did. My head and heart were battling it out: the former telling me to mind my own business, and the latter urging me to make an immediate trip to the food court for him.
While this inner debate was fierce, a well-dressed young couple suddenly approached. “Excuse me, sir,” began the husband. “We just finished eating and our appetite wasn’t as big as we thought. We hate to waste food. Can you help us out and put this to good use ” The kind stranger handed a large container with food. “Thank you.” came the grateful reply. Feeling good about what I had seen, but disappointed by my own lack of action, I observed my neighbor’s response to his sudden good fortune.
He lifted the soup, cupping his hands around the steaming bowl. It was obvious that he was going to enjoy this miracle meal. He opened mouth and suddenly, he stopped.
The reason for this unexpected behavior soon became clear. Entering the hall was a new arrival, in his seventies, without a hat and gloves. His lightweight jacket was a poor protection against cold.
