To address water overuse, innovative solutions have existed, focusing on efficiency, affordability, and adaptability to different living conditions. Here are core technologies driving home water conservation:● Smart Water Meters — Real-Time MonitoringAI-powered smart water meters track water flow minute by minute. They can detect leaks within minutes (e.g., a dripping tap or a faulty pipe) and send instant warnings to users’ phones. A 2024 study found that households with smart meters reduce water waste by an average of 20% annually.● Low-Flow Fixtures — Reduced Flow, No Comfort LossLow-flow shower heads and taps limit water flow to 6-9 liters per minute (traditional models use 15-20 liters). They maintain water pressure through air flow, ensuring users still have a comfortable experience. These fixtures cut bathing water use by 30%-40%.● Rainwater Harvesting Systems — Recycled Non-Potable WaterThese systems collect rainwater from rooftops, clean it, and store it in containers. The water is ideal for watering gardens, cleaning floors, and washing cars — uses that don’t require treated tap water. “The potential of rainwater harvesting is not fully used,” says Dr. Lisa Wong, a water resource expert at Stanford University. “If 50% of households adopt such systems by 2030, global residential freshwater demand could drop by 12%. But this needs more government funds to lower facility costs.”21.What are smart water meters mainly designed to do A.Identify leaking problems in time.B.Ensure the flow of water minute by minute.C.Reduce water waste by 12% annually.D.Send instant warnings to users’ phones.22.According to Dr. Lisa Wong, what needs government financial support A.Achieving the 2030 adoption goal.B.Reducing global freshwater demand.C.Making rainwater facilities more affordable.D.Promoting water conservation technologies.23.What do the three technologies have in common A.They maintain water pressure.B.They need government funding.C.They use artificial intelligence systems.D.They reduce household water consumption. B A decade ago, the dashboard (仪表盘) was a symphony of buttons and knobs — physical, easy to use, and largely distraction-free. Today, it has changed into a glowing glass screen. What once required a twist or a press now demands a glance, a slide, and often, a second try.Touchscreens promised elegance and simplicity. They replaced messy controls with clean design, allowing manufacturers to cut costs and software engineers to shine. Yet, what delights designers may imperil drivers. Studies show that touchscreen-based controls take longer to operate than traditional ones. Adjusting the temperature, changing the radio, or finding navigation options now demands precious seconds of distracted attention — at highway speeds, that’s hundreds of meters driven blind.The risks are no longer hypothetical. In Sweden, safety researchers found that interacting with a modern touchscreen can be twice as distracting as using physical controls. In Britain, police have begun to treat touchscreen misuse like texting while driving.Carmakers defend their glassy creations. They argue that voice assistants and steering-wheel shortcuts reduce risk. Tesla, whose minimalist interiors (内饰) helped popularize the trend, claims that over-the-air updates make cars safer and more adaptable. Yet, voice recognition is unreliable, and submenus hidden beneath layers of icons are no substitute for muscle memory. When drivers must look down to switch a function, safety becomes an app update away.Regulators, too, are waking up. The European Union has begun examining driver-distraction standards for multimedia systems. Some Japanese manufacturers, sensing consumer exhaustion, are reintroducing physical buttons for climate and audio. The pendulum (钟摆) may be swinging back from digital purity toward practical design.The broader irony is that technology designed to simplify has instead complicated. A century of automotive evolution reduced driving to instinct. Now, cars demand the same divided attention as phones. The modern driver navigates not only roads but also menus, icons, and alerts.Perhaps the ultimate luxury in future vehicles will not be bigger screens or smarter assistants — but fewer distractions. As automakers race toward automation, they may rediscover an ancient virtue: safety begins not with more technology, but with less to touch.24.Why does the author describe the dashboard as “a symphony of buttons and knobs” A.To stress the special skill required to operate it.B.To emphasize the visual appeal of older dashboards.C.To illustrate how the various controls worked in harmony.D.To criticize the complexity of traditional vehicle interiors.25.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4 A.Relying on digital systems puts safety at risk.B.Software updates can instantly remove driving risks.C.Carmakers are actively using updates to reduce accidents.D.Drivers can download safety software as easily as phone apps.26.How may the future vehicle be designed A.Physical controls will definitely replace touchscreens.B.Voice assistants will take over car controls in five years.C.Design will combine digital and physical safety features.D.Screens will grow in size until they cover entire dashboards.27.Which of the following is the best title for the passage A.The Hidden Cost of In-Car Touchscreens.B.The Unstoppable Rise of the Digital Dashboard.C.Voice Assistants: The Future of Driving Interaction.D.From Buttons to Screens: A History of Car Interior Design.CWhen I reflect on my years in high school, one particular figure stands out like a lighthouse in the fog of conventional classrooms: Mr. Wesley Hart.For most of us, the bell schedule determined the rhythm of our days. First period was math, where we would quietly solve problems from a textbook. Then, we’d drag ourselves to history class, where mindless memorization left us battling to keep our eyes open. Next was science, where we mechanically followed laboratory procedures. This cycle repeated itself, class after class, day after day.Until, that is, we reached Mr. Hart’s literature class. His classroom didn’t have the boring rows of desks facing a chalkboard; instead, it had mismatched sofas. Mr. Hart believed that the physical environment of a classroom could “liberate the mind” — a phrase he often said with such conviction that we couldn’t help but believe he must be right.One of Mr. Hart’s most memorable teaching moments occurred when we were studying Moby Dick. Rather than assigning an essay, he took us on a nighttime adventure. We met at the school’s sports field where he handed each of us a passage from the book. The evening air was thick with anticipation and the smell of the grass as we gathered in a circle.“In the spirit of sailors in Moby Dick, we will share our thoughts under the stars,” he announced. He then inspired us to read our passages aloud and relate them to modern-day situations and personal experiences. In the quiet of the night, I found the themes far more meaningful in that starlit, open-air classroom.Perhaps the most valuable lesson I learned from Mr. Hart wasn’t about literature. It was that learning is a voyage, where curiosity and passion are the sails driving us forward. Mr. Hart taught us to question, to wonder, and to see the world as an endless storybook filled with lessons waiting to be discovered.28.What does the bell schedule in paragraph 2 show A.The depth of textbooks.B.The diversity of high school life.C.The importance of study.D.The boredom of conventional classes.29.What does the underlined word “conviction” in paragraph 3 mean A.Concern. B.Certainty. C.Doubt. D.Interest.30.Why does the author mention Mr. Hart’s teaching moment A.To reveal the theme of Moby Dick.B.To recall Mr. Hart’s nighttime adventure.C.To stress the status of Moby Dick.D.To highlight Mr. Hart’s creative teaching.31.Which of the following best describes Mr. Hart A.Curious and brave. B.Tolerant and helpful.C.Creative and inspiring. D.Ambitious and determined.DPizza, one of the most popular foods worldwide, has a long and rich history that is closely tied to Italian culture. Its origins can be traced back to ancient civilizations. In ancient Greece, people baked flatbreads with various toppings, which were a precursor (前身) to modern-day pizza. However, it was in Naples, Italy, that pizza as we know it today truly took shape.In the 18th and 19th centuries, Naples was a bustling city with a large working-class population. Pizza became a prevalent and affordable meal for the locals. These early pizzas were simple, with a basic dough topped with tomatoes, cheese, and sometimes herbs. They were often sold by street vendors and eaten on the go.The turning point for pizza’s popularity came in 1889 when a Neapolitan pizza maker named Raffaele Esposito created a special pizza for the visit of King Umberto I and Queen Margherita of Italy. To represent the colors of the Italian flag, he used tomatoes (red), mozzarella cheese (white), and basil (green). This pizza, named Pizza Margherita, not only became an instant favorite of the royal couple but also a symbol of Italian national identity.As Italians immigrated to other parts of the world, especially the United States, they brought their love for pizza with them. In the early 20th century, the first pizzerias opened in American cities like New York. Initially, pizza was mainly popular among Italian-American communities. But over time, with marketing efforts and the increasing acceptance of diverse cuisines, pizza became a mainstream food in America. Today, pizza is a global phenomenon, with countless variations in toppings, crust styles, and cooking methods. From the thin-crust New York-style pizza to the deep-dish Chicago-style pizza, each region has put its own spin on this classic dish.32. What was the precursor of modern-day pizza A. Neapolitan street-sold bread.B. Ancient Greek flatbreads with toppings.C. The bread baked by Raffaele Esposito.D. The food sold in early American pizzerias.33. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “prevalent” in paragraph 2 A.Popular. B.Illegal. C.Horrible. D.Potential.34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about A. How Italian immigrants spread pizza to the United States.B. The different variations of pizza around the world today.C. The reason why flatbreads became popular in Naples in the 18th century.D. Pizza Margherita created for the Italian royal family and its influence.35. What can be known from the passage A. The early pizzas had complex toppings.B. Different regions have different styles of pizza.C. Pizza is the most popular food in South America.D. The royal couple of Italy introduced pizzas to the whole world. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Cross-cultural communication can feel challenging at first due to various cultural differences. 36 Here are four key strategies for better cross-cultural connection.Learn about the culture beforehand to avoid simple mistakes. Understanding basic rules and customs of the culture shows your respect. 37 Knowing what is polite and rude prevents awkward moments and boosts your confidence. Small efforts like learning some polite phrases also leave a good impression on others.●Speak clearly and stay away from slang (俚语) or difficult idioms. Slow down your speech a little when talking to non-native speakers and never shout — it often seems rude. 38 as slang hardly translates well and can cause offense. Politely ask them to explain again if you notice confusion, for clear communication builds trust and ensures your message is understood correctly.●Pay close attention to non-verbal signals like gestures and eye contact. Body language varies worldwide, so what seems normal to you may offend others. 39 Use open-handed gestures at first. Observe locals’ personal space and rules about physical contact, and adjust your behavior to show cultural sensitivity.● 40 Cultural differences may lead to confusion, but anger is useless. Accept that conversations won’t always go smoothly. Honestly admit your confusion and ask for clarification gently, and encourage the other person to do the same. Being open-minded helps you learn from these interactions, and patience creates a positive environment where both sides feel valued.A.Tell others your own culture is better to show confidence.B.For example, pointing with one finger is rude in some places.C.Remain patient and open-minded when misunderstandings happen.D.You can easily find such relevant information online or in guidebooks.E.But good communication skills alone cannot solve all cultural problems.F.However, it becomes much smoother with targeted and practical methods.G.Use standard words instead of casual expressions that may confuse others,第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。Last summer, I got my first chance to dive in the sea.

But here, every time I ate in the cafeteria and skillfully picked up food with chopsticks, the foreign classmates around me always cast curious and slightly confused looks, and from time to time, there were whispers: “How do they do that ” At first, I would smile and briefly explain how to use chopsticks to them. But as the number of times increased, the sense of strangeness brought about by cultural differences gradually made me feel uncomfortable. Even for a moment, I hesitated to switch to a knife and fork to eat in order to fit in.During a group dinner, everyone sat around the restaurant. I habitually reached out for chopsticks. Jack, who was in the same group, saw this and exclaimed excitedly: “Hey, let’s see your magic with chopsticks!” As he spoke, he also picked up a pair of chopsticks and clumsily imitated. But before he could pick up anything, the chopsticks slipped from his hand. The other classmates laughed, and my face burned. I lowered my head to eat awkwardly, but my heart was in a mess. I realized that in their eyes, chopsticks were just a novel “performance prop (道具)”, and I, as a “foreigner” using chopsticks, seemed to have become an object of observation.After that, when facing others’ curiosity about chopsticks, I lost the initial enthusiasm to share and just casually smiled. I was afraid of this excessive attention, afraid that my cultural habits would become an “outsider label” in the eyes of others. I even began to deliberately reduce the number of times I used chopsticks in public, trying to make myself “fit in” with the local dining style.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。Until one day, the school held an international cultural festival.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________I started to patiently explain how to hold chopsticks and what they symbolize.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________英语 答案第一部分 听力(共两节,满分30分)第一节 (共5小题;每小题1.5分,满分7.5分)1.A【原文】M: I’m thinking about joining the school drama club.

Poetry is a beautiful art that adds much color to our daily life. It is a perfect way to express our deepest feelings and thoughts that we can hardly put into plain words. When we feel down or greatly delighted, a good poem can always resonate with us and soothe our hearts. Besides, poetry teaches us to spot tiny beauty around us that we usually ignore.I sincerely hope all of you can spare a little time to read or even write poems in your spare time, and you will surely get a surprise from this gentle experience.Thanks for listening!第二节 (满分25分)67.【参考例文】Until one day, the school held an international cultural festival. Each country's booth displayed its unique traditions, and I was asked to represent China. Suddenly, an idea struck me—why not set up a chopsticks experience corner I brought my own chopsticks and some small items like peanuts and marshmallows for visitors to try. To my surprise, a long queue quickly formed. Jack was among the first to come, and this time he asked sincerely, "Could you teach me properly " Seeing their genuine curiosity rather than mockery, I felt a warmth rising in my heart. The uncomfortable feeling that had troubled me for so long began to fade away.I started to patiently explain how to hold chopsticks and what they symbolize. I told them that chopsticks embody the Chinese philosophy of balance and harmony—two sticks working together in perfect cooperation, just like people in a community. I showed them the proper grip, the movement of the upper stick while the lower stays still, and the importance of patience and practice. My classmates listened with great interest and tried again and again. When Jack finally picked up a peanut successfully, everyone cheered. At that moment, I realised that cultural differences are not barriers but bridges. Chopsticks are not a "prop" or a "label"—they are a proud part of who I am, and sharing them with an open heart turned my anxiety into connection. 展开更多...... 收起↑ 资源列表 云南省凤庆县第一中学2025-2026学年高二下学期期中考试英语试卷.docx 云南省凤庆县第一中学2025-2026学年高二下学期期中考试英语试卷听力.mp3
