2025-2026学年高二下学期6月阶段检测英语试题
一、阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
There are many options for what to drink, but water is the best choice for most people. It is calorie-free and easy to find.
How much water do you need
One of the most familiar sayings is to aim for “8 glasses a day,” but this may not be appropriate for every person. The National Academy of Medicine suggests a proper intake of daily fluids of about 13 cups and 9 cups for healthy men and women, respectively, with 1 cup equaling 8 ounces. Higher amounts may be needed for those who are physically active or exposed to very warm climates. Lower amounts may be needed for those with smaller body sizes. It’s important to note that these amounts are not a daily target, but a general guide.
General recommendations for daily water intake
Age Daily Intake
1-3 years 4 cups, or 32 ounces
4-8 years 5 cups, or 40 ounces
9-13 years 7-8 cups, or 56-64 ounces
14-18 years 8-11 cups, or 64-88 ounces
men, 19 and older 13 cups, or 104 ounces
women, 19 and older 9 cups, or 72 ounces
Is it possible to drink too much water
There is no Tolerable Upper Intake Level for water because the body can usually remove the extra by passing water or sweating. However, a condition called water intoxication (中毒) is possible in rare cases, in which sodium (钠) levels in the blood fall too low. This is usually caused by drinking large amounts of water while at the same time losing sodium through sweat.
1. What factors affect daily water intake
A.Age and personality.
B.Climate and diet.
C.Weight and mental condition.
D.Gender and physical activity.
2. Which daily water intake can be recommended for a 15-year-old
A.7 cups.
B.10 cups.
C.12 cups.
D.13 cups.
3. Who most likely gets intoxication if drinking much water
A.A runner in a marathon.
B.A hiker eating salty snacks.
C.A swimmer in a warm pool.
D.A cyclist fueled by sports drinks.
B
After a recent negative car rental experience, I found myself going down a familiar rabbit hole, scrolling (滚屏) through online reviews of the company. The experience was over, yet I kept reading complaint after complaint from strangers. But I’m not the only one who does this. Why do we look up reviews for a hotel we’ve already stayed at, a movie we’ve watched, or even a doctor we’ve visited If we’re no longer gathering information to guide our decision-making, what are we looking for On the face of it, it seems pointless, but this common habit actually reveals how we interpret our experiences, especially the disappointing ones.
People often experience inner conflict after making a decision. This can be something small, like ordering food or buying a book, or far more significant choices, like picking a career, or choosing a life partner. It is known as post-decision dissonance (不协调) — the psychological discomfort we feel after choosing between multiple options.
Once a decision is made, the alternatives don’t simply disappear. Instead, they remain in our minds, along with the unsettling thought that another option might have been better. That discomfort is what sends us searching. In fact, this feeling isn’t limited to purchases. It can arise anytime we commit to one path and close off others.
After my disappointing car rental experience, I wasn’t looking for information to help me decide. That moment had passed. Instead, I simply wanted to understand what had already happened, and convince myself I hadn’t made a foolish decision. Reading negative reviews from others with similar experiences helped shift my version of the story: maybe the problem wasn’t just me. Maybe the rental company was truly awful. Once we’ve had an experience, good or bad, we’re no longer gathering information. We’re trying to find peace within ourselves. It’s not about reviews but about gaining a sense of identity, and emotional closure for what we’ve been through.
4. Why does the author mention his car rental experience in paragraph 1
A.To complain about the poor service.
B.To warn readers against rental traps.
C.To introduce a common human habit.
D.To show the effect of negative reviews.
5. What can we learn about post-decision dissonance
A.It appears in most decisions in life.
B.It causes unease after making a choice.
C.It reminds people to solve inner conflict.
D.It pushes people to weigh multiple options.
6. What makes people seek relevant comments after making a decision
A.The fear of missing better alternatives.
B.The curiosity about others’ feelings.
C.The desire to discover more possibilities.
D.The need to learn from past experiences.
7. What does the author think of post-experience review reading
A.It confirms personal identity.
B.It offers convincing excuses.
C.It provides practical guidance.
D.It serves emotional purposes.
C
Literature students once read three books a week but today they struggle to make it through one in three weeks, Sir Jonathan Bate, a professor of English literature at the University of Oxford, has warned.
Many young people entering university to study literature have not read extensively (广泛地), and they often have difficulty doing so during their time at university. This is a growing trend that many academics have observed, although it isn’t always the case. Bate told the BBC’s Today programme, “The currently fashionable answer is that it’s to do with the reduced attention due to smartphones, six-minute YouTube videos and instant TikTok hits.”
“Actually it all begins in schools. You only have to look at the thinning of A-level syllabuses (教学大纲) and the tendency to assign works because they’re shorter,” Bate said.
He added that it was also “an unintended consequence of the push in both the top British and American universities towards diversity and access… as some students come from schools where the teachers’ main task is crowd control, and so the demands in terms of reading long books are just not there.”
State-funded charter (特许) schools in the US were an interesting phenomenon, however. “There’s a big comeback of classical education within these schools,” Bate said.
Bate explained that his son was exposed to an extensive variety of works. “My teenager has just graduated from a charter high school called Great Hearts and there they read Iliad, Odyssey, Inferno, Crime and Punishment. He came home one day saying that they had been praised for studying Hegel because it’s really difficult. I’m amazed that 17-year-old American kids are reading Hegel. So there is some hope.”
“If you haven’t got readers, what are writers going to do The deep, thoughtful, quiet reading of great books is good for mental health. It’s also good for developing skills, for concentration and critical thinking, and if that falls away, that is problematic for society and individuals.”
8. How does the author present the topic
A.By stating a worrying change.
B.By citing a research finding.
C.By explaining a cultural concept.
D.By describing a typical professor.
9. Which of the following does Bate think is a reason for the trend
A.Overuse of smartphones.
B.Limited access to literary works.
C.Insufficient school education.
D.Poor learning ability at university.
10. What does Bate imply by referring to his son
A.Classical education is not a lost cause.
B.The young are no strangers to classics.
C.Charter schools deserve more attention.
D.Great books are within teenagers’ reach.
11. What is a suitable title for the text
A.Literary Taste Gives Way to Screens
B.Deep Reading Benefits Mental Health
C.Literature Students Face a Reading Crisis
D.Traditional Education Makes a Comeback
D
A new study offers fresh insight into how people assess the environmental impact of the foods they eat, and the results suggest many are getting it wrong. These misunderstandings point to a clear need for simple environmental impact labels to help guide better choices.
Researchers from the University of Nottingham’s School of Psychology asked 168 participants in the UK to sort a wide variety of supermarket foods into environmental impact categories of their own making. Participants were also shown scientific estimates of each product’s environmental impact and asked whether the results were higher or lower than they expected.
The study found that people tend to assess the impact of food using two main factors: whether the food comes from animals or plants, and how processed it is. In general, participants assumed that meat and dairy products, as well as highly processed foods, are worse for the environment.
However, these assumptions sometimes belie reality. Many participants overestimated the environmental impact of processed foods while underestimating the impact of water-intensive (高耗水的) products. They were also surprised to learn how much higher the environmental impact of beef is compared to other meats like chicken.
Food production plays a major role in environmental issues, including greenhouse gases and biodiversity loss. Encouraging more sustainable eating habits depends in part on understanding how people perceive the environmental footprint of different foods.
Daniel Fletcher, lead author of the study, said, “We found participants would be willing to change their purchasing behavior based on this task, but they may struggle to compare the environmental impact of animal-based products and highly processed foods because they see their effects as too different to weigh against each other. Environmental impact data on food products is opening up new possibilities for this research, and labels that give foods a single overall grade (such as A-E) could help make these comparisons easier for consumers, thus allowing people to make sustainable food choices.”
12. What do the researchers hope to find out about the participants
A.Their understanding of food quality.
B.Their preferences for popular food.
C.Their methods for food categorization.
D.Their view of food’s ecological cost.
13. What does the underlined word “belie” in paragraph 4 mean
A.Ignore.
B.Affect.
C.Disclose.
D.Mismatch.
14. What do consumers require according to Daniel Fletcher
A.Change of shopping behavior.
B.A uniform grading system.
C.More data on food consumption.
D.A comparison of different foods.
15. What is the purpose of the text
A.To advise on food choices.
B.To call for food eco-labels.
C.To advocate good eating habits.
D.To show dietary carbon footprint.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Life isn’t fair. Some people just seem blessed with the ability to effortlessly charm anyone they meet. Well, it might seem like a magical power, but in fact there are a number of factors at work. ___16___. The answer is: to a large extent, yes you can.
But first, the bad news. People initially judge each other based purely on physical appearance. With just a glimpse of a face, people make snap judgments about each other’s likeability, trustworthiness and confidence. How should we deal with this ___17___. People perceive a smiling face as more trustworthy, warmer and sociable. It sounds like common sense, doesn’t it Smile and others will smile with you.
What other tricks might we have ___18___. Consequently, three things we can do to signal that we are not a threat: raise our eyebrows quickly, tilt (仰起) our heads slightly, and once again, to smile.
So we’ve looked at body language, but of course what you say is hugely important too, unless you want to just stand there grinning foolishly. The golden rule of friendship is if you make people feel good about themselves, they’re going to like you. In other words, you should not talk about yourself and all your wonderful achievements. ___19___.
Finally, finding common ground is good to form a connection. Charming people are particularly skilled at seeking out shared interests or experiences to bond with others. Simple things like asking where someone’s from really can open up a discussion and allow you to find areas in common. And if all else fails, you can fall back on that most British of topics: the weather. ___20___.
A.It can be a nice start of a conversation.
B.Instead, you need to show interest in them.
C.There’s one incredibly simple tool: your smile.
D.So, can you learn to develop superhuman charm
E.What good tricks can we employ to become charming
F.Shared interests are the key to making connections with others.
G.Our brains often survey the environment for friend or enemy signals.

My two best friends and I were skateboarding in the park near my house. Ollie suddenly skidded to a stop and told us to look at a poster. “The Harvest Fair sounded cool,” he exclaimed. Mareya agreed while pointing to a picture of a pie, adding that there was also a pie contest. “But 50 bucks a ticket Too expensive,” I said. We all sighed.
Then we picked up our skateboards and jogged down the sidewalk to the market my parents owned. Just at that moment, my dad’s old business partner Isaac walked in. Isaac greeted my dad cheerfully and explained that he was producing an event at the park, asking if he could hang a poster there. My dad immediately agreed. When my dad inquired about the event, Isaac said it was the Harvest Fair and generously offered some free passes for our family.
I couldn’t contain my excitement and squealed in disbelief. Mareya asked in surprise if it was really the Harvest Fair. Ollie gasped in amazement, questioning whether the tickets were truly free.
After Isaac left, my dad said since there were five people in our family but six tickets, we would have to find someone else who wanted to go to the fair. Mareya and Ollie both wanted to go. It took me exactly one second to go from very happy to very confused. There was no way I could choose one friend without hurting the other’s feelings.
My dad took a quarter out of his pocket. “There’s only one fair way to make a tough choice like this: a good old-fashioned coin toss. Ollie and Mareya, how about one of you calls heads, one of you calls tails, and whoever guesses right gets the extra ticket ” But before anyone could answer, Mrs. Nishikawa, my awesome 80-year-old neighbor, approached us. “I just saw the poster in your window,” she said. “How I used to love going to fairs! But it’s hard for me to get around now, and tickets cost so much these days.”
That’s when Ollie got a twinkle in his eye. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

What should I prepare for my high school life
Good morning, everyone.
It’s my great honor to share some suggestions on preparing for high school life with you. Personally, adjusting our mental state is the most important preparation.
High school life is more challenging and competitive. It’s normal to feel stressed or confused at first. We should stay positive, face difficulties bravely and learn to relieve pressure properly. Besides, we need to become more independent and confident instead of relying on others.
A good mental state will help us adapt to high school life better and achieve our goals. Wish all of you a wonderful high school journey!
Thank you!

That’s when Ollie got a twinkle in his eye. He smiled widely and suggested that we give the extra ticket to Mrs. Nishikawa. Mareya and I nodded in agreement immediately. We all knew how lonely the elderly neighbor was and how much she missed the fun of fairs. Mrs. Nishikawa was greatly surprised and touched, her eyes sparkling with joy. She thanked us repeatedly and said she was really looking forward to the fair. The coin toss was totally forgotten, and we felt warm and happy to help others.
Still, I felt bad for my friends and my mom came up with a great plan. She told us that the fair would last for three days and she could buy two cheap extra tickets online for my two friends. Hearing this, Ollie and Mareya jumped with excitement. On the day of the fair, we went there together with Mrs. Nishikawa. We enjoyed delicious pies, played interesting games and took wonderful photos. We not only had a great time but also learned that sharing brings more happiness.
