Let’s take a closer look at these cultural elements and the real-life prototypes (原型) that inspired them. Seven-colored lotus In Ne Zha 2, the seven-colored lotus (莲花) plays a critical role in reconstructing the bodies of the heroes, Ne Zha and Ao Bing. This concept is inspired by the Boshan censer (香炉), a2,000-year-old bronze burner housed at the Hebei Museum. Barrier beasts If you’ve seen both Ne Zha films, you’re sure to remember the lovely and charming barrier beasts—funny creatures that serve as guardians. These creatures bear a striking similarity to ancient relics from the Sanxingdui culture. Tianyuan tripod The Tianyuan tripod in the film is a key tool in the Jade Xu Palace. Its design draws inspiration from the bronze tripods used during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. The tripod was a symbol of power and status in ancient China, often used in ceremonies. Jade Xu Palace When Ne Zha travels to the Jade Xu Palace, a group of birds fly in the sky, with two of them landing on the palace roof. This scene is inspired by the famous painting “Ruihe Tu” by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji painted this scene on silk, symbolizing his blessing for the country and its people. 1. What aspect of Ne Zha 2 is introduced in the text? A. Its plot. B. Its cultural sources. C. Its popularity. D. Its creative techniques. 2. What do we know about the barrier beasts in Ne Zha 2? A. They are similar to Sanxingdui relics. B. They are widely used in ceremonies. C. They are symbols of power and status. D. They are blessings from an emperor. 3. What is the inspiration of the scene in Jade Xu Palace? A. A bronze tool. B. A historical site. C. A romantic story. D. A famous artwork. B During my summer job in Tokyo last year, I discovered how easily body language can create misunderstandings across cultures. After doing well in my interview, I confidently entered the meeting room for my final presentation, eager to share my carefully prepared sales strategy. When the CEO asked about my approach, I sat back in my chair and crossed my arms — a posture (姿势) I considered thoughtful and professional in America. The atmosphere changed immediately. My boss’ smile froze, and the CEO’s clear disapproval appeared. I later learned that in Japan, crossed arms signal arrogance (傲慢) or disagreement — completely contrary to the professional image I wanted to convey. Despite my perfect PowerPoint presentation, I couldn’t undo that inappropriate behavior. While I didn’t recognize my cultural mistake at the moment, I could easily feel the tension mounting as I continued speaking. My Japanese colleague Rina quietly demonstrated to me the right way to behave during the Q&A session. She rested her hands on her lap and leaned forward slightly to show engagement. I immediately mirrored her posture. As I adapted my body language to Japanese ways, the manager visibly relaxed. This experience taught me that true cultural fluency extends far beyond language proficiency or technical expertise. Now, I make it a priority to research local customs before any international meeting. My studies have revealed fascinating cultural differences. Brazilians maintain smaller personal space during conversations. Germans value firm handshakes with sustained eye contact. And the French may exchange cheek kisses in business settings — but only after establishing close professional relationships. This journey has shown me that authentic professional competence requires mindfulness not just of our words, but of our physical presence across cultural contexts. The ability to “speak” through appropriate body language is just as crucial as verbal (言语的) communication in today’s global business environment, and sometimes even more important than spoken language. 4. What caused the sudden tension in the meeting? A. The author’s improper behavior. B. The assistant’s technical errors. C. The CEO’s unreasonable demand. D. The coworker’s sudden interruption. 5. How did Rina help the author during the Q&A session? A. By simplifying his slides. B. By correcting his grammar. C. By modeling proper postures. D. By translating the questions. 6. Why does the author mention different countries’ customs? A. To share his learning process. B. To prepare for his next journey. C. To appreciate uniqueness of culture. D. To show diversity of body language. 7. What lesson has the author learned in Tokyo? A. Good business is built on good language. B. Wisdom counts more than spoken language. C. A country’s language is as important as its culture. D. Body language is vital in cross-cultural communication. C Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a game-changer in education, offering both opportunities and challenges for learners. One significant advantage is the personalization of learning experiences. AI-powered platforms can assess individual students’ progress, identify knowledge gaps, and deliver tailored content to address specific needs. For instance, adaptive learning software adjusts question difficulty based on performance, allowing students to master concepts at their own pace. Moreover, AI provides instant support outside classroom hours. Intelligent tutoring (辅导) systems and chatbots, robots that can communicate with human beings, can answer questions, explain difficult topics, and even assist with homework at any time. This round-the-clock accessibility helps bridge the gap when teachers are unavailable, making learning more flexible and convenient. However, overreliance on AI poses risks. Some students use AI tools to generate essays or solve math problems without engaging in the actual learning process. This habit may weaken their ability to think independently and develop problem-solving skills. Studies suggest that students who depend too much on AI for assignments often perform poorly in exams that require original thought. What’s worse, when it comes to assignments concerning critical thinking, like art design or constructive plans, they will fail to produce satisfactory results. Another limitation is AI’s inability to replace real teachers and guides. While AI excels at delivering information and grading assignments, it lacks the emotional intelligence that teachers possess. Teachers do more than share knowledge — they make students curious, teach right from wrong, and help them learn how to work with others. Ultimately, in education, AI should serve as an assistant rather than a replacement for traditional learning. By striking a balance between technological assistance and active human engagement, students can exploit Al’s benefits while preserving the irreplaceable value of teacher-student interaction. 8. How does AI personalize learning? A. By replacing teachers with chatbots. B. By reducing homework assignments. C. By organizing group discussions online. D. By changing content to fit individual needs. 9. What does the underlined word “overreliance” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Trying sometimes. B. Depending too much. C. Using in a smart way. D. Saying no completely. 10. What can be inferred about AI’s role in education from the last paragraph? A. A helper. B. A ruler. C. A tutor. D. A replacement. 11. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To promote the use of AI tutors in schools. B. To criticize students’ dependence on robots. C. To discuss the pros and cons of AI in education. D. To compare AI and traditional teaching methods. D Native to southwest China, pandas are famous for their love of bamboo, spending up to 16hours a day consuming this fast-growing plant. Pandas have puzzled biologists for decades with their bamboo-only diet. Despite having digestive systems typical of meat-consuming animals, pandas have adapted to a diet that is almost entirely plant-based. A recent study published in the journal Frontiers by researchers from China West Normal University demonstrates how this is possible. The study reveals that bamboo contains microRNA (miRNA), a genetic material that pandas absorb into their bloodstream. This miRNA plays a crucial role in regulating gene expression, influencing pandas’ growth, behavior and immune (免疫) responses. Dr. Li Feng, a senior author of the study, explains in a statement that miRNA also affects pandas’ sense of smell, taste, and dopamine (多巴胺) pathways, all of which are closely linked to their feeding habits. The researchers believe that by the time a baby panda grows up,it will develop the ability to pick the freshest and most nutritious bamboo, which enables them to adapt to a plant-based diet. The research team analyzed blood samples from six pandas, identifying 57 kinds of miRNAs likely coming from bamboo. These findings suggest that miRNA is key to pandas’ adaptation to their unique diet. The study also highlights the potential broader implications of this discovery. By understanding how plant miRNA affects animals, scientists may be able to develop new treatments or preventive measures for diseases. The panda’s diet consists almost entirely of bamboo leaves, stems and shoots. And only about 1% of their food comes from other plants, according to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). This research not only deepens our understanding of pandas but also opens new ways for exploring the interactions between plant and animal biology. 12. What aspect of pandas is focused on in the research? A. Physical growth. B. Social behavior. C. Hunting strategies. D. Genetic adaptation. 13. How do pandas adapt to their plant-based diet over time? A. By learning to select bamboo. B. By increasing their consumption. C. By reducing their reliance on plants. D. By developing stronger digestive systems. 14. What may be the positive impact of the finding in the future? A. Increasing the panda population. B. Developing new medical treatments. C. Changing pandas’ digestive systems. D. Improving bamboo planting techniques. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the outcome of the study? A. Curious. B. Critical. C. Optimistic. D. Doubtful. 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。 When we feel threatened or stressed, our brain produces chemicals which raise energy and sharpen focus, helping us react quickly to danger. ____16____ For example, the pressure of an upcoming performance might motivate you to practice harder. Studies also show that mild stress can improve memory by activating parts of the brain involved in learning. ____17____ Normally when we experience a stressful event, stress hormones (激素) are released for about 15 to 30 minutes. But if we face multiple or persistent stress day after day, we will suffer from problems like sleeplessness, brain fog, digestive issues, and even heart disease. So how much stress is too much stress? ____18____ Different factors like your genetics, environment, and even your age, can influence the way your body responds. But no matter what your situation is, there are tools that can make dealing with stress a bit easier. Physical activity is a powerful stress reducer. Exercise creates new brain cells, making it easier to recover. A run through the park or a basketball game with friends can be a great distraction (分心事) from whatever is stressing you out. ____19____ Interacting with friends or family can lower stress hormone levels. Simple mindfulness practices, like deep breathing or journaling, build awareness of our emotions and keep us focused on the present. While we can't avoid life's challenges, understanding our stress response and using these tools can help us face them more calmly and effectively. By managing stress wisely, we can turn it from an enemy into a friend. ____20____ A. Social connection also helps. B. Small amounts of stress can even be helpful. C. It may help us grow stronger and live healthier. D. However, problems arise when stress becomes constant. E. Today, though, we initiate this response in many situations. F. Doctors recommend regular check-ups to monitor stress levels. G. It's difficult to say, as not everyone experiences stress in the same way. 第二部分 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Ma Jun is the youngest winner of this year’s Junma Awards for Ethnic Literature.

My twin brother Thomas turned to me suddenly while we were doing our homework at the dining table and proposed eagerly, “We have to do something special for them!” Forgetting my work on hand, I immediately put down my pen and we launched into a lengthy discussion on what to do for our parents. Thomas wanted to buy a cake, while I insisted on handmade gifts. After some debate, we reached an agreement. “Let’s prepare a breakfast-in-bed for them — home-made toast, soft-boiled eggs and coffee!” Thomas announced in excitement. “It’s their all-time favorite,” I nodded enthusiastically. Father and Mother often took us to their favorite coffee shop for breakfast during the weekends whenever possible. “For the gift, we'll fold paper hearts and cranes (鹤)?” I suggested eagerly. Thomas’ eyes widened, and a big smile spread across his face — a clear sign of agreement. Secretly, we worked late that night, ignoring our unfinished homework. When Mom checked on us, we pretended to study, hiding the colored paper under our books. She frowned (皱眉) but left without a word, perhaps suspecting something. However, the next day, our father was angry when he learned from our teacher that we hadn’t finished our homework. He asked us why we failed to hand in homework. Thomas and I exchanged guilty glances and mumbled (咕哝) an apology. But we kept silent about the plan. “We won’t do it again,” Thomas finally said, raising his head with determination. I nodded seriously to follow him. Father’s anger seemed to disappear as he walked away silently. We trusted that he believed in us and we were determined to make our parents’ anniversary truly special. We worked even harder on our surprise, balancing our studies with our secret preparations. 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。 That Saturday, Thomas and I woke up before Father and Mother did. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In excitement, we knocked at the door of our parents’ bedroom. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2024—2025学年度高二年级4月联考 英语试题 本试题卷共8页。全卷满分120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 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A 【1~3题答案】 【答案】1.

We tiptoed into the kitchen and got to work. While the water was boiling, we toasted the bread. When the water boiled, Thomas immersed the eggs into the hot water and covered the container. Then, he proceeded to prepare coffee. Meanwhile, I spread butter onto the hot bread. When the nice fragrance of the freshly brewed coffee began to fill the air, the breakfast was ready to be served. Thomas carefully placed the breakfast on a tray and I rushed back to fetch the box of paper hearts and cranes. In excitement, we knocked at the door of our parents’ bedroom. “Come in,” Father’s sleepy voice called. We entered carefully, carrying the breakfast tray and the box of paper hearts and cranes. “Happy anniversary!” we cheered. Mother gasped in delight at the sight of breakfast and the box. “So this was your secret project,” she whispered. Thomas and I nodded. “Best presents ever,” Father smiled. We all laughed and Father gave us a bear hug. At that moment, the secret late-night and early morning efforts felt utterly worth it. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
