【答案】范文一:
Conflict, though often avoided, is a healthy and teachable part of life. Experts believe it helps build deeper understanding and connection. Two useful methods are listening with understanding reflection and pausing when emotions run high. Learning to handle conflict patiently turns difficult moments into opportunities for personal growth and stronger relationships.
【答案】If a plan lacks a practical and feasible implementation scheme, it may eventually end in failure.
【答案】
As a Senior Two student, I’m writing to express my support for Plan B, which arranges the extra 30-minute sports time after the last class in the afternoon.
First of all, studying for a whole day makes us tired mentally. Taking exercise right after school can effectively release academic pressure and refresh our minds. If we do sports before the first class, we may sweat heavily and find it hard to calm down for morning lessons. Besides, afternoon sports won’t disturb our morning learning rhythm. What’s more, we can invite classmates to play ball games together after class, strengthening our friendship.
In short, Plan B balances study and rest better. I sincerely hope that my suggestion will be adopted by the school.2025-2026学年上海市宝山区高二下学期期末英语试题

I. Grammar and Vocabulary
Section A
Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
The Economist’s choice for the 2025 “Word of the Year” is a term that has been given a new meaning for the digital age: “slop.” Originally meaning mud, poor food, leftovers, or nonsense, it now clearly describes the large amount of low-quality, AI-created content ___1___ (fill) the Internet. This new use became especially common after OpenAI’s release of Sora, a video-creation tool that quickly filled social media with artificial clips.
So-called “slop merchants” — those ___2___ produce huge amounts of AI-made material — are filling the internet with questionable content. Look for health information on Google, and you will probably find newly made pages full of AI-written text near the top results. ___3___ (move) through Instagram, and soon you might see videos made from false clips with computer-made voices. On platforms like X (formerly Twitter), it has become harder to tell real accounts from AI-run “slop-shops” ___4___ (locate) in Pakistan, Nigeria, or Thailand, often pretending to be real political or opinion accounts.
While the word sounds negative, the article presents an idea called “sloptimism” (mixing “slop” and “optimism”). The thought is ___5___ if the information space becomes too full of low-value AI material, there might be some good results: ___6___ people get tired of untrustworthy sources, their trust in well-known, reliable news organizations could grow. Studies have shown that after trying to tell AI-made photos from real ones, people are ___7___ (willing) to pay for good journalism. Also, if social media sites become too crowded with slop, they might have to better control their content — or they ( 8 )ose users who want better-quality exchanges.
Therefore, “slop” does more than just describe a problem; it explains a common modern experience. It shows widespread worry about falling information quality, the right use of technology, and the future of online communication. Though not a new word, ___9___new meaning strongly connects with life in the mid-2020s — a time when we may not like this reality, but are clearly living with it, and will probably keep doing so for years___10___ (come).
Section B
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
A. trustworthy B. focus C. force D. unlicensed E. balance F. nearly G. risks H. issued I. shows J. concerned K. mainly
China’s New National Standards for Food Delivery Platforms
China has introduced new national standards for food delivery platforms to solve problems like unfair competition, food safety ____11____, and the need to protect delivery workers’ rights. The new rules, called Basic Requirements for Food Delivery Platform Service Management, were ____12____ by the State Administration for Market Regulation on September 24, 2025. They aim to create a fairer and healthier business environment for everyone ____13____.
The standards ____14____ on three main areas. First, they try to stop the “vicious (恶性的) competition” between platforms. For example, platforms are now not allowed to cheat on prices or ____15____ promotion costs on restaurants. They must also pay for their own sales activities and cannot use false terms like “zero-cost purchase.” Second, to fight against ____16____ “ghost kitchen,” which are takeout-only places operating from fake addresses, restaurants will need to upload a video that ____17____ their storefront, dining area, and kitchen, with location and time details. This makes sure food is made in a real and clean environment, as such hidden kitchens often fail to meet basic safety rules. Third, the rules better protect delivery workers. Platforms cannot ____18____ use fines for being late to punish riders. They must also limit daily work to eight hours and send warnings to workers who have been taking orders for over four hours without a break.
These changes are important because China has more than 545 million online food delivery users. The fast growth of the industry has led to problems like hidden costs, too much pressure on restaurants, and safety worries for workers. The new standards try to ____19____ the interests of platforms, restaurants, workers, and customers. By setting clearer rules, the government hopes to build a more lasting and ____20____ food delivery system.
The draft rules are now open for public comments until mid-October. After some possible changes, the final standards are expected to be put into practice within a year, which could lead to important changes in how food delivery services work in China.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
The global trend “Becoming Chinese” has become a hit on social media. Millions of users around the world are now ____21____ Chinese daily habits — drinking warm water, wearing slippers at home, and practicing Baduanjin (八段锦), while laughing along, posting their own videos with the ____22____ that they’re “turning Chinese.” A relevant video’s easy-to-relate-to and light-hearted content soon spread widely across platforms, managing to gain millions of reactions ____23____ likes, shares, and comments.
____24____, this trend is really about valuing and loving a healthy, simple, and relaxed way of life. Many health-focused creators and influencers in the US openly ____25____ these habits in their posts and videos. One well-known American blogger shared a personal story, explaining that switching to warm water greatly ____26____ her long-time stomach discomfort, while another said the gentle movements of Baduanjin helped make her sleep better. These habits are attractive because they are simple, low-cost, and ____27____ to keep up with in daily life.
Foreign users have their own special ____28____ and ways of seeing what “Becoming Chinese” means to them. They often see drinking warm water not just as a habit, but as a ____29____ of thoughtful “slow living,” agreeing with the Eastern ____30____ that “prevention is better than cure.” Even changing into slippers at home is seen as a way to physically and mentally keep public pressure away from private life, creating a clear ____31____ between work and rest.
____32____, the trend clearly shows China’s growing soft power and changing global picture. Through such everyday trends, the world is getting to know a more ____33____ and active China. Supporting this change, a 2025 global report said that China’s soft power position has climbed to second place globally, a (n) ____34____ that surprised many observers.
Ultimately, behind this fun internet trend lies a deeper, more universal human wish for health, balance, and well-being. Small daily habits can really promote cultural exchange. “Becoming Chinese” acts as a great and present-day example of how different civilizations can learn from each other in the digital age. It softly shows that good lifestyles, and positive values truly have no ____35____ and can be welcomed by anyone, anywhere.

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
In April 2026, New York University awarded its highest faculty honor, the title of Silver Professor, to 35-year-old Chinese mathematician Wang Hong. This landmark achievement has made her one of the world’s top experts in pure mathematics. The rare appointment for a young researcher has drawn wide attention from global academic circles, with many praising her as a rising star in modern mathematics.
Wang Hong was born and raised in a small county in Guilin, Guangxi, far from the world’s top academic centers. Her life path has been marked not by sudden fame, but by quiet courage and thoughtful choices. As an undergraduate at Peking University, she first majored in earth sciences, a practical and traditional field. However, driven by a deep love for mathematics, she decided to change her major after careful consideration. That brave decision set her on a path toward mathematical research. She once said that following her true interest was more important than taking a safer career route.
She continued her studies in France and the United States, spending many years working on difficult and fundamental mathematical problems with little public recognition. In 2025, together with her partner Joshua Zahl, she successfully proved the three-dimensional Kakeya conjecture (挂谷猜想), a century-old problem that had puzzled mathematicians worldwide. Her breakthrough not only earned her international fame but also a lifetime professorship at France’s Institut des Hautes tudes Scientifiques, one of the world’s most respected research institutions.
Wang’s high academic reputation was clearly shown during a lecture she gave at Peking University. The hall was completely filled with students and scholars, many of whom had come from other cities just to hear her speak. Among the audience sat Wei Dongyi, one of China’s most famous mathematicians, listening attentively in the front row. That scene was a silent but powerful proof of the respect and influence Wang has earned in the academic world. It showed that even top mathematicians recognize her outstanding contributions.
Wang’s story carries a timeless truth: Great achievements do not require an extraordinary start. They come from perseverance, brave choices, and steady devotion. Her rise from an ordinary background to global academic excellence reminds us that quiet, consistent hard work is the key to lasting success. For young people who dream of a career in science, her journey is both inspiring and instructive.
36. What can be inferred about Wang Hong’s personality
A. She prefers to work alone on problems.
B. She was forced to change her major.
C. She values passion over a safe career.
D. She seeks public attention and fame.
37. Why does the author mention Wei Dongyi in paragraph 4
A. To show he is also interested in the conjecture.
B. To prove Wang’s high academic reputation.
C. To introduce another outstanding mathematician.
D. To compare their different research styles.
38. What message does the author convey in the last paragraph
A. Great success needs an unusual start.
B. Perseverance and devotion lead to success.
C. Fame and luck matter more than hard work.
D. Early choices decide one’s final achievement.
39. Which is the best title for the passage
A. Silver Professor: NYU’s Top Honor. B. The Kakeya Conjecture Finally Solved.
C. Wang Hong: From Earth to Mathematics. D. How to Get a Lifetime Professorship.

In April 2026, Sony AI announced a major new scientific breakthrough from its flagship research initiative, Project Ace. This news made headlines all over the world. Research on the advanced autonomous table tennis robot Ace had its complete findings officially published in Nature, a top journal, attracting very wide attention from global technology experts and AI researchers. Everyone in the field was excited about it.
For many years in the past, traditional table tennis robots had quite clear technical limitations. They could only operate under simplified conditions, such as lower ball speed and reduced spin, which were not challenging enough for real games. Most early robots simply relied on fixed ball paths from serving machines and failed to deal with flexible, changeable strategies from real human players who could change their plans anytime. As a result, unfortunately, no previous robot could ever compete fairly with well-trained athletes under official competition rules. That is why they never won official matches.
In contrast, however, the Ace robot is equipped with very professional hardware and a high-precision perception system which works like human eyes. A flexible high-speed robotic arm enables it to adjust hitting angles and strength instantly with great accuracy, just like a real player or even better. Meanwhile, multiple synchronous high-speed cameras act as very sensitive visual sensors, very accurately capturing the ball’s real-time speed, flight path and complex spin with extremely low delay in no time. This advanced hardware allows the robot to observe the court and respond far faster than human beings, and never tires.
Ace also adopts a core physical AI technology called model-free reinforcement learning. This is a new way of training robots. Instead of following preset movements, the robot continuously collects match data in real time, analyzes opponents’ playing styles, and adjusts its own strategies independently during real-time games. It can flexibly deal with very fast attacks and tricky spins in dynamic matches. This makes it a true competitor.
In formal tests, which were very strict, all games exactly followed full International Table Tennis Federation rules and were supervised by professional referees. Ace defeated three out of five strong elite (精英) players in standard matches. Nevertheless, it still suffered defeats against professional players, reflecting the big gap that still exists between the robot and top human athletes. It is truly still recognized as the first physical robot in history to reach real human expert-level performance in standard competitive sports. This is a huge step for robot sports.
This success highlights the truly great potential of physical AI in handling real-world dynamic tasks like sports. Its core technologies can be applied to smart factories, household service robots and high-precision medical equipment, driving the rapid development of future intelligent technology. These uses will improve our lives a lot.

Section C
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Today, more and more detailed and creative nail designs are within easy reach. People can now decorate their nails with very small 3D flowers or hand-drawn pictures of characters like Shakespeare or Snow White. Jacqueline McClement, a nail artist from Canada, not long ago shared a video of herself painting Vermeer’s well-known painting Girl with a Pearl Earring using nail polish. For those happy to spend the money, there are even man-made nails created from real crystals (水晶) costing about $ 800.
The act of decorating nails is not new. In ancient Babylon, men would color their nails with a dark material before fight to look more frightening. In Egypt, people used a natural dye to color their nails as a sign of their place in society. The earliest kind of nail polish goes back to approximately 3,000 BC in China, made from a mix of egg whites, a sticky substance, and wax from bees. ___47___.
Nowadays, nail art has become a real form of creativity and competition. People taking part in Nailympia, a major world nail art competition, tirelessly treat their nails like very small surfaces for painting. ___48___. Its popularity is clearly growing: In the United States, the number of nail salons has almost doubled since 2012, reaching about 35,000. In Britain, nail services are the second most chosen beauty treatment after hair styling.
Nails today are less about war and more about showing who you are. British fashion photographer Nick Knight describes them as “the last note in a song.” Some nail artists say their work is like the very small painted pictures loved by European rich and powerful families in the 18th century. Anouska Scarlet Anastasia, who makes very small artworks on nails, says that one wrong move with the brush can spoil the whole piece. ___49___.
This art form is also getting recognition from official ments online even say in fun that such designs should be in museums — and in fact, the first museum just for nail art is planned to open in Shanghai next year. ___50___. While some may not think nail art is serious, nail experts believe it is a difficult and real art form that keeps growing in cultural importance.
A. This long history shows that nail (指甲) art is not just a passing trend.
B. Some work against the clock, while others show designs worked on for months.
C. For example, one artist recently made a nail design based on a famous movie.
D. In this way, nail art is becoming a respected part of modern culture.
E. Her works, like an Irish cream drink, can take many weeks to finish.
F. However, such designs are usually too expensive for most people.
III. Summary Writing
51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Conflict is a Healthy and Teachable Part of Life
We do not typically watch reality TV to learn good communication. That’s why a scene on Love Island US was so unexpected. Chris forgot to ask his partner Huda for her thoughts. When she calmly pointed this out, he admitted his mistake directly. This was a surprisingly grown-up way to handle disagreement on a show often filled with arguments. It reminds us that even in dramatic settings, conflict can be dealt with maturely.
Experts agree that conflict is not something to run away from. “Conflict is normal and healthy,” says Rachel Moheban Wachtel, a social worker. In fact, it can be key to building deeper closeness, understanding, and connection between people. An argument can be a useful chance to learn what truly matters to someone else. Dr. Sara Corse adds that difficult conversations also help us understand our own views better. For example, even a simple disagreement about loading a dishwasher can teach us something new about responsibility or personal habits. Avoiding conflict may keep peace temporarily, but it often leads to hidden anger and distance. Facing it bravely, however, can turn a potential fight into a stepping stone for growth.
Since many of us are never taught how to manage conflict well, here are two expert methods. The first is to listen with care. Try “understanding reflection,” which means listening actively and then repeating the other person’s point in your own words. The goal is to make them feel heard, not to immediately reply with your own story. This simple act can lower defensiveness and open the door to real discussion. The second method is to pause when emotions run high. If a talk becomes too heated, it is wise to take a short break. Importantly, you should explain that you want to continue the conversation later, when both of you are calmer and can talk more productively. A short pause is not running away — it’s a strategic choice to protect the relationship.
In the end, conflict is a natural part of all relationships. Learning to handle it patiently and respectfully is a valuable skill that takes practice. It turns difficult moments into opportunities for personal growth and stronger bonds with others. So next time you face a disagreement, remember: Handled well, conflict is not a threat but a teacher.
