He was a master of street photography and he came up with the idea “The Decisive Moment”. Even now, many people who write news stories want to be as good as him. Ansel Adams — probably one of the most famous photographers in the nature and landscape genre. You’ve likely seen his images whether you knew the maker or not. His black and white photographs of Yosemite Valley CA are well spread in galleries, on posters and in books. A search for “Ansel Adams” on Amazon yields over 5,600 results! He also created The Zone System with Fred Archer（a complex system for creating the correct exposure using black and white films and papers）. Edward Muybridge — known for his pioneering work in motion photographic studies and motion pictures. He is often credited with having created the first movie projector. He also studied animals and motion. And through his images, he discovered the horse’s gait（步态）includes all four feet off the ground at the same time. Dorothea Lange — documentary photographer and photojournalist known for her images of the Great Depression humanizing the plight（困境）of the workers and those most affected by the depression. Her iconic image Migrant Mother was taken in 1936 at a migrant farm workers camp. 1. What is Henri Cartier-Bresson best known for? A. Studying animals and motion. B. Pioneering motion photography. C. Documenting the Great Depression. D. Taking pictures of people in real life. 2. What significant contribution did Edward Muybridge make to the field of motion studies? A. He discovered the horse’s gait. B. He created the first movie projector. C. He developed a system for color photography. D. He was the first to photograph a moving animal. 3. Which photographer took the photo Migrant Mother? A. Henri Cartier-Bresson. B. Ansel Adams. C. Edward Muybridge. D. Dorothea Lange. B To watch movies was one of the most popular forms of entertainment in rural areas in China in the 1970s and 1980s. However, there were no cinemas in many villages at that time. Movies were displayed in the open air, mostly on a big yard in front of a temple. The minute the simple screen was set up, people gathered around, waiting for the film projectionist to turn on the two-hour magical journey of the motion pictures. Villages and towns across China established movie teams, each equipped with two or three projectionists. In 1984, Tang Dingde acquired his projectionist certificate and began his career as a film projectionist. Tang was appointed to screen films benefiting local villagers. As a projectionist, Tang was responsible for the operation and maintenance (维护) of projection equipment. His primary role was to ensure that the audience experienced high-quality screenings. In addition to managing the projection equipment, he also checked and tackled technical issues that arose during screenings, such as film jams or equipment breakdowns. As transportation conditions were tough in townships and rural areas, Tang often took lots of time to get to remote villages to screen the films despite difficulties. Over the past four decades, Tang has organized tens of thousands of films for villagers. Tang’s son Xiaowei inherits the career as a film projectionist. As the film industry has transitioned to digital technology, Xiaowei and other projectionists now often work with computer-based systems, ensuring the proper setup and adjustment of digital projectors. It is much more convenient and easier for film projectionists to travel to the destinations and conduct their tasks nowadays. However, Xiaowei’s thought to deliver a perfect and enjoyable experience for audiences is still challenging. Attention to detail, technical proficiency, and the ability to work efficiently under pressure are crucial qualities for projectionists. 4. What function does the first paragraph serve? A. It explains scene setting. B. It sets the tone of the text. C. It provides supporting details. D. It offers background information. 5. Which word can best describe Tang’s work as a projectionist? A. Innovative. B. Productive. C. Demanding. D. Competitive. 6. What additional quality should a projectionist have in modern days? A. Determination to serve. B. Concentration on details. C. Skills at digital technology. D. Adaptability to the new surroundings. 7. Which column of a magazine may the text be taken from? A. Good Old Days. B. All Walks of Life. C. New Technology New Life. D. Internet Facilitates Entertainment. C If you could travel in time, where would you go? Perhaps you would watch an original performance of a Shakespeare’s play in Elizabethan England. What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period? Or maybe you’d voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds. The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing. Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best known example is the science-fiction novel The Time Machine, which was written by H. G. Wells and published in 1895 for the first time. It was made into movies, TV shows, and comics. It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term “time machine”, coined by Wells, is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transporting people into the far future. But could time travel actually be possible? Some scientists say “yes”, in theory. They propose using cracks in time and space called “wormholes”, which could be used as shortcuts to other periods. Einstein’s theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances. And British physicist Stephen Hawking said you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship— going at nearly the speed of light. Though building such a spaceship would of course be not a simple task. Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the “grandfather paradox（悖论）”. It asks what would happen if a time traveller were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being born. If the time traveller wasn’t born, how would he travel back in time? And would you really like to visit the future? In the book, the main character time-travels to a future beach with giant crabs and later to a world with only a tentacled（有触角的）creature. 8. The novel The Time Machine mentioned in paragraph 2 aims to show _______. A. people’s interest in time travel B. the long history of time travel C. the distinct features of the book D. the achievements of H. G. Wells 9. How did the author argue for the possibility of time travel? A. By giving definitions about time travel. B. By analyzing statistics of researches. C. By quoting the theories of scientists. D By listing examples of time travel. 10. Why would the author mention “grandfather paradox” in paragraph 4? A. To show his disapproval of space travel. B. To stress the complexities of space travel. C. To prove the accessibility of space travel. D. To show the reasonableness of Wells’ work. 11. What is the best title of the text? A. Time Travel: Yes or No B. Time Travel: Dreams and Dilemmas C. Time Travel: Humans’ Forever Dream D. Time Travel: From Impossible to Possible D As concerns about the environmental impact of food production continue to grow researchers and policymakers are exploring novel ways to produce protein more sustainably. One option that has been gaining attention in recent years is the use of insects as a food source. The idea of eating crickets (蟋蟀) or mealworms doesn’t give many Western consumers a good appetite. A new study, presented at this year’s European Congress on Obesity (ECO) in Venice, Italy, surveyed 603 UK adults about their attitudes towards consuming insects and revealed that only 13% of respondents were willing to regularly eat insects, while 47 percent said they would not be willing to do so. However, it suggests that mixing insect-based ingredients (配料) with familiar foods could be key to overcoming the biggest barrier and making this eco-friendly protein source more palatable. So, what makes insects such a promising alternative to traditional livestock, such as cows and sheep? Some insect proteins, such as ground crickets or freeze-dried mealworms, are cheaper and often have a lower fat content. Additionally, insect farming requires less land, water, and feed than traditional livestock and has less environmental impact. The biggest factor is that they are a rich source of protein and micro-nutrients, making them a potentially valuable tool in preventing people from both being too fat and under nutrition. The study found that ideas about insects’ taste or sensory properties were generally unfavorable, with participants anticipating lower levels of enjoyment, liking, or sweetness and higher levels of saltiness and bitterness. However, the researchers note that attitudes towards eating insects can change over time, pointing to the example of lobster (龙虾) . Once considered a poor man’s food, these are now considered a delicacy in many parts of the world despite their insect-like appearance. To help change attitudes towards insect-based foods, the researchers suggest that more needs to be done to let consumers be well-informed of the nutritional and environmental benefits of eating insects. 12. What does the underlined word “palatable” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Profitable. B. Authoritative. C. Affordable D. Delicious. 13. What can be the main cause of insects’ likely replacing traditional livestock? A. The raising costs. B. The rich nutrition. C. The low fat content. D. The eco-friendly features 14. Why do the researchers mention lobsters? A. To make a comparison. B. To highlight a problem. C. To prove their prediction. D. To criticize an argument. 15. What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph? A. How to raise insects effectively. B. Varieties of insect-based foods. C. How to make insects more appealing D. Education of consumers eating insects. 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。 I was just about to walk back into my room when I heard my mother shouted out, “Siani, mail came for you!”____16____ It was from my pen pal, Beth, in Chicago.

It was another cold, gray day. He still remembered his stomach chilling into a frozen knot as he approached the locker room last month. He had read the team list posted on the locker room door, hoping, searching anxiously for his name. It hadn’t been there. It was missing. He had felt suddenly as if he had ceased to exist. Become invisible. It wasn’t easy starting a new school, especially for Roderick because he had been a star athlete in all sports at elementary school. Now, it seemed, he was nothing. The bus came to a stop. A very pregnant woman hung onto the silver handrail and slowly pulled herself onto the bus. As she fell backward into the seat behind the bus driver, her feet kicked up, and Roderick saw that she wasn’t wearing any shoes. The bus driver yelled over his shoulder, “Where are your shoes, lady? It is freezing out there.” “I can’t afford shoes,” the woman answered. “I got on the bus just to get my feet warm,” the woman continued. “If you don’t mind, I’ll just ride around with you for a bit.” Some of the boys at the back exchanged glances and rolled their eyes. The driver scratched his head and shouted, “Now just tell me how come you can’t afford shoes?” “I got eight kids. They all got shoes. There’s not enough left for me.” Roderick looked down at his new Nike basketball shoes. His feet were warm and cozy. And then he looked back at the woman. Her socks were torn. Her coat, missing buttons, hung open around her stomach, as swollen as a basketball. Roderick didn’t hear anything around him after that. The word “invisible” popped into his mind again. An invisible person forgotten by society, but for a different reason, he thought. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 But the cold was not invisible. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Roderick then hurried to the door. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2025届卓恒教育集团高三年级11月份联考 英语学科试题 全卷满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 非选择题的作答：用签字笔直接写在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4. 考试结束后，请将本试题卷和答题卡一并上交。 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） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Each team starts with an equal number of water balloons. Players can only throw balloons at opponents within the designated area. Once a player is hit by a water balloon, they must exit the game. The last team with players remaining will be declared the winner. I believe it will be a highlight of the carnival! Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】One possible version： But the cold was not invisible. Under his seat, Roderick pried the toe of one shoe into the heel of the other and slipped it off, then the other shoe. Yes, he would be walking in the snow with bare feet! When the bus stopped at the end of the line, Roderick waited until everyone else had got off. Then he reached under his seat and picked up his basketball shoes. He walked quickly up to the woman and handed them to her, looking down and saying, “Here, lady, you need these more than I do.” Roderick then hurried to the door. “Wait,” the woman exclaimed, “Thank you, young man.” The driver was calling, “Hey, come back here, kid! What’s your name?” Roderick turned around to face him, his cheeks burning. “Roderick Daily,” he answered quietly. “Well, Roderick,” said the driver, “I’ve never seen anything like this in the 20 years I’ve been driving this bus.” The woman was crying. “Thank you. I felt people like me were ‘invisible’,” she said. Roderick smiled at the woman, mumbling, “It’s no big deal.” He hurried off. On his way home, he hardly felt the cold beneath his feet at all. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
