Last week, our school held the Science and Technology Innovation Festival, themed “Innovation for a Better Tomorrow”. It was a lively event which drew students from all grades together.
There were many activities: a high-tech exhibition of AI products, an expert lecture on environmental technology, and a student invention show. I was most impressed by a classmate’s solar-powered charger.
This festival really sparked my interest in science. It taught me that innovation is not just for scientists, but for everyone who dares to create. From then on, I’ve been eager to explore more about technology and even try my own small inventions.

The next morning, Emma walked into the classroom with her heart pounding. Her hands grew cold as she waited for her turn, her mind racing with the fear of freezing up. When the teacher called her name, her legs felt like lead, but she forced herself to step forward. As she stood in front of the class, she took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a second, picturing her grandmother’s kind smile. She began to speak, her voice shaky at first, but as she talked about her grandmother’s courage and kindness, her nerves slowly faded.
When Emma finished, the classroom burst into applause. Her classmates smiled and nodded, and even the teacher gave her a warm, proud look. For the first time, Emma didn’t feel like running away. She felt light and happy, as if a heavy weight had been lifted from her shoulders. That day, she learned that her fear was not as big as she’d thought, and that sharing the story of her role model had given her more courage than she ever imagined.2025-2026学年云南昭通市巧家县第一中学高二英语下册期中检测试题

A
The world’s oldest known forest has been discovered in a sandstone quarry in Cairo, New York. Scientists say the forest dates back about 386 million years, making it roughly three million years older than the previous record holder found in Gilboa, also in New York State. The discovery was made by researchers from Binghamton University and Cardiff University, who mapped over 3,000 square meters of the ancient forest floor.
The forest contained at least two types of trees: cladoxylopsids, which looked like leafless versions of modern tree ferns, and Archaeopteris, which had flat green leaves similar to modern conifers. The researchers believe the forest was home to some of the earliest organisms to develop roots and leaves. These early trees played a crucial role in transforming Earth’s atmosphere by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, paving the way for the evolution of land animals.
“This discovery gives us a unique window into the past,” said lead researcher Dr. William Stein. “It helps us understand how forests evolved and how they changed our planet.”
1. How old is the newly discovered forest estimated to be
A. About 383 million years.
B. About 386 million years.
C. About 389 million years.
D. About 392 million years.
2. What role did early trees play in Earth’s history
A. They provided food for dinosaurs.
B. They helped change the atmosphere by absorbing CO .
C. They caused the extinction of sea animals.
D. They prevented the formation of coal.
3. What is Dr. William Stein’s attitude toward the discovery
A. Doubtful. B. Uncertain.
C. Positive. D. Indifferent.
B
Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London is a modern reconstruction of the original open-air playhouse built in 1599. The original Globe was where many of Shakespeare’s greatest plays were first performed. However, it was destroyed by fire in 1613, rebuilt the following year, and then closed permanently in 1642. The modern reconstruction, opened in 1997, stands just 230 meters from the original site.
What makes the Globe unique is its commitment to authenticity. The building is made of English oak, with no structural steel used. The stage projects into the central yard, where “groundlings” — standing audience members — can watch performances just as they did in Shakespeare’s day. The theatre seats about 1,570 people, half the capacity of the original. Despite its historical design, the Globe is very much a living theatre, producing both classical and new works.
4. When was the original Globe Theatre destroyed by fire
A. 1599. B. 1613. C. 1642. D. 1997.
5. What does the underlined word “groundlings” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Actors performing on the stage. B. Audience standing to watch the play.
C. Builders of the theatre. D. Critics reviewing the performance.
C
The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest coral reef system, stretching over 2,300 kilometers along the northeast coast of Australia. It is home to an incredible diversity of marine life, including more than 1,500 species of fish, 400 types of coral, and numerous other creatures. However, climate change, pollution, and overfishing have put this natural wonder under serious threat. Rising ocean temperatures have caused widespread coral bleaching, damaging vast areas of the reef. In response, scientists and conservationists are racing against time to find solutions. Some are experimenting with “assisted evolution”, breeding heat-resistant corals that can survive in warmer waters. Others are working on reducing pollution and controlling the crown-of-thorns starfish, which feeds on corals. The Australian government has also invested heavily in reef restoration projects.
6. What is a major threat to the Great Barrier Reef mentioned in the text
A. Earthquakes. B. Rising ocean temperatures.
C. Volcanic eruptions. D. Desertification.
7. What does “assisted evolution” refer to
A. Moving corals to cooler waters.
B. Breeding corals that can tolerate heat.
C. Removing all starfish from the reef.
D. Building artificial reefs with concrete.
D
A study published in Nature Climate Change suggests that planting trees on a massive scale could be one of the most effective ways to combat climate change. The research, led by scientists at ETH Zurich, found that there is enough land around the world to plant more than a trillion trees without affecting existing farmland or cities. If achieved, this massive tree-planting effort could absorb about 205 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide — roughly two-thirds of all the CO humans have released since the Industrial Revolution. However, the researchers cautioned that tree planting alone cannot solve the climate crisis. It must be combined with reducing fossil fuel emissions and protecting existing forests. Additionally, the type of trees planted must be carefully chosen to suit the local environment, and community involvement is essential for the survival of newly planted trees.
8. According to the research, how much CO could massive tree planting potentially absorb
A. About 100 gigatonnes. B. About 150 gigatonnes.
C. About 205 gigatonnes. D. About 300 gigatonnes.
9. What caution do the researchers give about tree planting
A. Tree planting can fully solve the climate crisis.
B. Trees should be planted regardless of local conditions.
C. Community involvement is unnecessary.
D. Tree planting must be combined with other measures.
10. What is the main idea of the text
A. The importance of reducing fossil fuel use.
B. The potential and limitations of tree planting as a climate solution.
C. The history of the Industrial Revolution.
D. The work of ETH Zurich scientists.

So when her English teacher announced that each student would give a five-minute speech about their role model, Emma felt a wave of panic wash over her.

The night before the speech, she barely slept.
