B As China’s animated film Ne Zha 2 breaks box office records and receives critical praise, it has been revealed that the voice of its villain (反派) is China’s so-called coolest grandpa. Actor and model Wang Deshun, 89, who plays Wuliang Xianweng in the hit animated production, is seen by many as a perfect match for the character, who initially appears kind but is later revealed to be cruel and ambitious. Born in Shenyang, in northeastern China’s Liaoning Province, Wang worked as a tram conductor and factory worker before becoming a theatre actor aged 24. A quarter of a century later, he felt his acting career had hit a bottleneck, so he resigned and moved to Beijing with his wife and two children. He began working out so he could achieve accurate bodily expressions on the stage. At 65, Wang learned how to ride a horse. In 2015, at the age of 79, Wang walked the runaway shirtless during China Fashion Week, wowing many people online. When he reached 80, he received training from his daughter and became an amateur DJ. At 85, he became China’s oldest person to receive a pilot’s licence. Wang played roles in many classic Chinese films and TV dramas. Wang said it took him three days to dub (配音) the character Wuliang Xianweng in June 2022. The production team only provided the lines he needed to perform, and he dubbed the character without knowing any of the plot lines. Despite being the voice for the villain in Ne Zha 2, Wang was seen by some to be the main character Ne Zha. The brave and resilient character refused to submit to his fate, fighting stereotypes and injustice in the two films. Likewise, in real life, Wang has refused to be bound by social norms. “I do whatever I want to do. It is never too late,” he said. 24. Why is Wang Deshun called “China’s coolest grandpa”? A. Because he played the villain in Ne Zha 2 in an outstanding way. B. Because he kept challenging himself through various achievements. C. Because he walked the runaway shirtless during China Fashion Week. D. Because he became China’s oldest person to receive a pilot’s license. 25. Which of the following can best describe Wang Deshun’s personality? A Adventurous and special. B. Kind and stubborn. C. Cautious and disciplined. D. Cruel and pitiless. 26. Why is Wang compared to the character Ne Zha? A. Both show their ambition to break rules. B. Both are known for playing villain roles. C. Both determine to submit to social norms. D. Both refuse to accept various stereotypes. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Ne Zha 2: A Villain Voiced by an 89-Year-Old Actor B. A Legendary Life: From a Tram Conductor to a Theatre Actor C. Breaking Boundaries: The Unusual Journey of Wang Deshun D. Behind the Scenes: The Voice Acting Journey of Ne Zha 2 C The snow leopard is a big cat. It has developed to live in some of the most terrible conditions in the world, and is found in some of Central Asia’s high mountain ranges. Kazakhstan is now celebrating the revival of this endangered species within its borders. This follows the success of local conservation efforts, which have increased the number of these dwindling wonderful big cats, doubling them in the last thirty years. Since 2019, they’ve increased by over 26%. It is thought that there are between 152—189 of these big cats in the country. This is a significant achievement, as the snow leopard is listed in the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) Red List and the national Red Books of all 12countries within its range. However, human activity remains the greatest threat to the survival of this species. A good example of this threat is provided by the photo of a snow leopard, standing beside and not affected by a huge truck on a Kazakhstan road, which went popular in 2022. The animal was rescued by Almaty Zoo, but sadly died soon afterwards. Later a plastic bag was found inside its stomach. To protect them, Kazakhstan signed a deal with Kyrgyzstan in 2024. They’ll share knowledge, watch over the cats and their habitats, and raise public awareness. Snow leopards are at the top of the food chain, and their survival shows that the mountain ecosystem is healthy. Importantly, the harmony between people and nature is the central part of these efforts. Cooperations (合作) like these are very important, because these countries represent a cross-border region of traveling of snow leopards. A greater understanding of these mountain ecosystems will benefit local people who depend on them, as well as future protective efforts. In Kazakhstan, the snow leopard is not only a national symbol but also a mascot (吉祥物) for the Asian Winter Games. With continued efforts, these amazing animals will keep living in the mountains. 28. What does the underlined word “dwindling” in paragraph 2 mean? A Reduced. B. Unchanged. C. Temporary. D. Upset. 29. Why does the writer mention the death of a snow leopard in paragraph 3? A. To voice his/her thanks for the Zoo. B. To prove his/her point. C. To warn people against dropping litter. D. To remind people of careful driving. 30. What is the key factor for protecting snow leopards? A. Stopping illegal hunting of snow leopards. B. Providing food for snow leopards. C. Knowing the habits of snow leopards. D. Keeping the balance between humans and nature. 31. Which situation may arise in the future according to the text? A. Snow leopards will completely disappear from the Earth. B. There will be snow leopards race in Asian Winter Games. C. The population of snow leopards will continue increasing. D. Snow Leopards will be pets of every family in Kazakhstan. D Smartphones means that you can read the news, check the weather, and keep in touch with families and friends on social media. Being connected comes with a lot of benefits. But smartphones are not always good when they cause less family conversations or less attention in class. In January 2024, Brazil signed a bill to ban (禁止) smartphone use in schools, joining the trend (趋势) in the US and Europe. The law applies to public and private schools and isn't just limited to classrooms. Using smartphones in hallways is also not allowed. The law follows a growing ban against smartphone use in all of Brazil's states' schools including Rio de Janeiro. Almost two-thirds of schools in Brazil introduced limitations and 28 percent had complete bans. “Students were having trouble focusing,” a school's headmaster Meire Nocito said. “There was also the problem of social isolation (孤立). Many students who used technology too much would stay alone during breaks, only communicating through social media. Banning smartphone use has helped create a space for social interaction, developing relationships and teaching students to deal with disagreements and arguments, which are a normal part of human interactions. It has been very positive.” Brazilians have one of the highest smartphone use rates in the world. There are actually more phones than people in this South American country with 258 million devices for 203 million people. Brazilians spend over nine hours a day on their phones. This is a hard habit to break. Smartphones have been connected with physical and mental health issues. Mariana Waetge, a 13-year-old student, uses her smartphone to talk with friends and family and to find entertainment on Instagram. Now that she is forced to put her phone away at school, she has found new ways to interact with friends. Brazil, along with France and China, is limiting smartphone use in schools. This measure will not only improve students' academic performance but also make their mental health better. 32. What is not allowed since 2024 if you are a Brazilian student? A. Chat with classmates at breaks. B. Read online news outside classrooms. C. Use a phone to check the weather at home. D. Take photos with a smartphone in the park. 33. What does paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Measures to develop friendship. B. Ways of keeping focused in class. C. Reasons for banning smartphones. D. Advantages of smartphones. 34. Which is correct according to the text? A. Brazilians use their phones for only 9 hours every day. B. Each Brazilian owns a smartphone. C. Brazilians have a high rate of phone use. D. There are 258 million phones across South America. 35. What is the writer likely to talk about next? A. The ownership of smartphones in France and China. B. Advantages of current social media. C. Methods of balancing online entertainment and learning. D. Positive influences of no-phone school on students. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 Surviving the first shaking of an earthquake is just the beginning.

In class, even when I knew the answer perfectly, I would lower my head, afraid to catch the teacher’s eye. Group discussions were a living nightmare (噩梦), as I was convinced that my ideas were never good enough. This lack of confidence had deeply affected my life in various aspects. One day, my English teacher, Mr. Smith, announced a school-wide English speech contest. Everyone was encouraged to take part. I was filled with fear at the thought of standing on stage in front of so many people. But Mr. Smith, with his sharp eye, seemed to have noticed my hesitation. He came to me after class and said sincerely, “Tom, I think you have great potential. This could be a chance for you to shine.” His words gently planted a small seed of hope in my heart. I decided to give it a try. I spent days writing my speech, carefully choosing every single word. Then came the practice. When I stood in front of the mirror, my hands would shake. But I didn’t give up. I practiced day and night, each time a little more bravely. Finally, the day of the contest arrived. As I stepped onto the stage, my heart was pounding so hard that I could hear it in my ears. The audience seemed like a vast ocean of eyes, all staring at me. For a moment, I froze, my mind going blank. But then, I remembered Mr. Smith's words and all the hard work I had put in. I took a deep breath and began to speak. At first, my voice was soft, but as I gradually got into the rhythm (节奏) of my speech, it grew stronger and more confident. I poured my heart and soul into every sentence, sharing my story sincerely. When I finished, there was a moment of silence, and then thunderous applause (雷鸣般的掌声) filled the hall. I had done it! 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 The host finally announced, “The first-prize winner is Tom!” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I walked up to the stage on shaky legs to receive my award. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “皖南八校”2024—2025学年高一第二学期期中考试 英语 考生注意： 1.本试卷由四个部分组成。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 3.本卷命题范围：北师大版必修第一册~必修第二册。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。 例: How much is the shirt?

Glancing at Mr. Smith, I saw him beaming, his eyes bright with pride. This wasn’t just a win — it was proof that my endless hours of practice and newfound courage had paid off. The fear that once haunted me melted away, replaced by a sense of accomplishment I’d never known. I walked up to the stage on shaky legs to receive my award. As I grasped the trophy, its weight grounded me in reality. “Thank you,” I managed, my voice steady despite the trembling. Turning to face the audience, I spoke from the heart: “Once, I was too afraid to speak up. But Mr. Smith’s belief and my own determination changed that.” The applause swelled again, and I realized confidence isn’t born overnight — it’s forged through challenges.

I lived with a local family in a small village there. Getting clean water was a big problem. Every day, every morning, I went with the women and children on a two hour walk to the nearest well. This daily trip taught me a lot about how people in the community help each other and stay strong. Even though life was tough, people shared what they had and supported one another. I was especially touched by a group of teenage girls. They came up with a plan to help the old neighbours get water. Moved by their good idea, I worked with local students to start a project to collect rainwater for their school. We put in simple collection tools and things to make the water clean. This provided clean water during the rainy season. The project not only helped the school, but also became a place where other villages could learn. This experience made me understand that small actions can bring big changes.
