A Book Worth Reading
Good morning, everyone. Today I want to recommend a book titled Coming Home to you. The book was written by a young girl Sun Yue and dictated by her father Sun Haiyang. It mainly tells Sun Haiyang’s life experience before and after the loss of his son Sun Zhuo. The writing is delicate and smooth. While reading the book, you can feel the hardships Sun Haiyang has gone through. The purpose of the book is not to make readers cry but to bring power to those who have similar experiences as Sun Haiyang’s family. It is such a moving story that it is worth reading again and again.
That’s all. Thanks for your listening!2025-2026学年安徽省淮南第二中学高二上学期阶段教学检测英语试题

Last spring, my neighbor Donna and I, both in our seventies, spent several hours in the glorious sunshine enjoying the new season. When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage (车库), and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket (桶). It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors.
However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench. After dismissing unsuitable options from local stores, she found a perfect one online. The next day it arrived. Excitedly, she opened the box and started putting it together. We proudly high-fived each other as the pieces joined up and the bench started to look like one. After a few minutes’ assistance from a neighbour, it was complete. What’s more, it was the perfect fit for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats.
Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench ” Quick-thinking Donna called back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved—after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating (冥想) ”, adding yet another name.
Last fall, with the temperature falling, we came to the end of sitting outdoors. We were faced with one dilemma-what to do about it in the winter Well, we sat down and thought and meditated and decided to put it in Donna’s garage for the winter.
When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives.
4. Donna decided to replace the chair and bucket to _________.
A. lighten the carrying load B. attract more neighbours
C. get better seating for chats D. adapt to warmer weather
5. How did the bench get its various names
A. From items placed on it. B. From seasonal discussions.
C. From users’ activities on it. D. From Donna’s creative ideas.
6. Why are pots and boxes mentioned in the last paragraph
A. To suggest the flowers would soon be planted. B. To show the bench was not serving its purpose.
C. To describe the bench’s practical use in winter. D. To explain why the bench needed winter storage.
7. What does “The Bench” represent by the story’s end
A. A symbol of community bonds. B. A solution to the aging problem.
C. A reminder of the past summer. D. A memory of a valued online order.
C
The weakening of the human connection to nature might be good for economic growth but is bad for people. A tipping point was reached in 2020 when human-made materials — such as steel, concrete and plastic — were found to weigh more than all life on Earth. Continuing to grow concrete forests rather than real ones is shortsighted. Simply being in the nearest wood has such health benefits that the Woodland Trust successfully lobbied for (游说) it to be prescribed by doctors.
Yet slipping from popular culture is the wonder and beauty of the natural world. For every three nature-related words in hit songs of the 1950s, researchers found, there was only slightly more than one 50 years later. It is not a moment too soon that teenagers will be able to take a natural history test, given that for decades children have been able to name more video game characters than wildlife species.
Part of treating this social disease would be for parliament to pass a “right to grow” law, allowing anyone to turn underused public spaces into vegetable and fruit gardens. The idea is for people to get back in touch with the soil-while producing food sustainably.
Vegetable planting has a respectable tradition. In April 1649, locals responded to high prices and food shortages by cultivating vegetables on common land in Southern England. The practice of throwing seed bombs to turn vacant plots of land green took off in 1970s New York, and has been revived by green-thumbed social media influencers who disobey local U. S. regulations in a war on ugly spots in cities.
Apart from the urgent task of providing more healthy nutrients to those who increasingly can’t afford them, publicly accessible fruit and vegetable gardens connect what we eat to where it comes from-the means of production, if you will. They can make unlovely spaces lovely, and marry use and beauty as well as help promote a sense of community. Plants are also, of course, our first defense against species loss and climate change. Such planting is a small step for humanity-in the right direction.
8. According to the first paragraph, which statement is true
A. Human-made materials are harmful to life on Earth.
B. Economic growth benefits people little in the long run.
C. The year 2020 was a big turning point in human history.
D. Being in the nearest wood has been recognized as a therapy.
9. Why does the author mention the hit songs and video games in paragraph 2
A. To illustrate the development of popular culture.
B. To appeal to the public to preserve wildlife species.
C. To prove the decreased human connection to nature.
D. To justify the necessity of introducing natural history tests.
10. What can we learn from the passage about vegetable planting on common land
A. It is currently protected by the“right to grow”law.
B. It was carried out in England by throwing seed bombs.
C. It has been popularized worldwide by social media influencers.
D. It has been used to increase food supply and improve urban landscape.
11. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. City Farming: Combating Global Food Shortages
B. Green Spaces: Curing the Social Disease of Urbanization
C. Concrete Jungles: Corrupting the Spirit of Popular Culture
D. Urban Gardening: Reweaving Humanity’s Bond with Nature
D
Genetic testing companies have a long history of creative attempts to reach the mainstream. An early example was the sequencing (测序) of rock star Ozzy Osbourne’s genes in 2010.
Lately, such projects have taken on a new, highly commercialized tendency. In 2017, we got the “Marmite (马麦酱) gene project,” run by London-based genetic testing start-up DNAfit. It claims to show that love or hate for Marmite was in our genes. The project turned into a full-blown marketing campaign, and even sold Marmite-branded DNA testing tools. DNAfit is now working with Mercedes-Benz to find out whether specific genetic traits are associated with business wisdom. AncestryDNA, the world’s largest consumer genetic testing company, last year teamed up with Spotify to promote “music tailored to your DNA”. Just a few weeks ago, 23 and Me, the second largest, announced a partnership with Airbnb to provide genetically tailored travel experiences, also inspired by ancestral DNA.
I have skin in this game. I run a genetic-testing start-up that connects people who want their genome sequenced with researchers who want data to improve their understanding of genetic disease. I believe that broadening access to DNA testing can be a powerful force for good, providing safer, more effective medicines and giving people more power over their healthcare. But these campaigns risk discrediting the industry, by giving a misleading impression of what genetics can and can’t say and its role in determining behaviors and personal preferences.
Take the Marmite study. It covered 261 people - tiny, by the standards of the field. It was published not in a journal, but online on bioRxiv, a server where scientists typically put results before peer-review. Shortly after, researchers looked at the genetic data of more than 500 times as many people in the UK Biobank and found no such correlation. A large peer-reviewed study in 2013 found no significant link between genes and business common sense.
We need to inform the public about what this is all about: that is, the gathering of large amounts of genetic data. We need better regulation to ensure that consumers are clear that this may happen with this sensitive personal information. A checkbox on a 20-page web document full of legal terms should not be enough. Scientists too, need to start asking hard questions about whether the information they are using has been sourced ethically. DNA testing has a great future, but we can’t build this future with data acquired by any means.
12. Why does the author mention DNAfit, AncestryDNA and 23andMe in paragraph 2
A. To highlight the problems facing genetic testing.
B. To illustrate the commercial applications of DNA.
C. To compare what progress the companies have made.
D. To reveal the link between DNA and a person’s character.
13. What can we learn about the author from “I have skin in this game” in paragraph 3
A. He is challenging the available treatment for skin disease.
B. He has a personal investment in the genetic-testing business.
C. He hopes to remove people’s misunderstanding of the game rules.
D. He believes that every individual should have access to DNA testing.
14. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The disadvantages of genetic testing. B. The scientific value of genetic testing.
C. The legal system genetic testing needs. D. The essentials for proper genetic testing.
15. What is the main idea of the passage
A. DNA testing has become a booming. B. Genetic testing campaigns are illegal.
C. DNA is anything but a marketing tool. D. Creative marketing is key to genetic testing.
