Johannes Vermeer Known as“Master of Light'”due to the way he captured(捕捉)how natural light danced on the skin and surfaces of other objects,Johannes Vermeer(1632-1675)was devoted to exploring the everyday moments of the 17th century Dutch Golden Age.Girl with a Pearl Earring(1665)is a good example of this tradition.Although he was a relatively successful painter during his lifetime,there are only 34 paintings belonging to him in the world today. Raphael Sanzio The School of Athens(1509-1511)is one of the four wall paintings by Italian artist Raphael Sanzio(1483-1520)in a palace called the Stanza della Segnatura.It is considered a masterpiece that celebrates philosophy and classical thought,as it features great Greek minds like Aristotle,Plato,and Ptolemy.The other three wall paintings show the other main branches of knowledge,which include poetry,religion,and law. 【高二5月联考·英语第2页（共8页）】 25-X-732B Michelangelo Buonarroti Before Michelangelo Buonarroti(1475-1564)started to paint the Sistine Chapel ceiling, he only finished one painting,The Doni Tondo (1506),which celebrates the marriage of Agnolo Doni.The bright colors and sculptural modeling of the figures are typical of the Italian artist's painting style. Henri Matisse Considered the greatest colorist of the 20th century and a revolutionary artist who helped define modern art,French artist Henri Matisse(1869-1954)first emerged as a Post-Impressionist. Then,in 1904,he led the Fauvism movement,which is French for "wild beasts".The artists of this movement favored bright colors and expressive brushstrokes over realism. 21.Whose paintings are best-known for showing the effect of natural light? A.Henri Matisse's. B.Johannes Vermeer's. C.Raphael Sanzio's. D.Michelangelo Buonarroti's. 22.What is The School of Athens about? A.Poetry. B.Religion. C.Philosophy. D.Literature. 23.What do the last two artists have in common? A.They preferred bright colors. B.They enjoyed painting similar subjects. C.They came from the same country. D.They are well-known Post-Impressionists. B Shawn Lee,a primary school social studies teacher in Seattle,has made up his mind to bring media literacy()into his classroom.Lee's efforts are part of a growing movement of educators and researchers working to fight against online misinformation. New Jersey,Illinois and Texas are among states that have recently set standards for teaching media literacy in primary schools,a broad strategy that includes lessons about how Internet and social media work,along with a focus on how to spot misinformation by cross-checking multiple sources and staying away from highly emotional claims without context. In the US,media literacy lessons are often included in history,government or other social studies classes,and typically offered at the high school level,though experts say it's never too early-or late-to help people become better users of Internet. One recent report on media literacy efforts in Western countries placed Finland at the top.Canada ranked seventh,while the US came in at No.18.Finnish children begin to learn about the media in preschool as part of an anti-misinformation program that aims to make the people more sensitive to false online information. "The core is critical thinking that keeps asking,Who created this?How does it make me feel and why?'"Petri Honkonen,Finland's minister of science and culture,said in a recent interview."It is also the key element of media literacy." However,attempts to teach kids media literacy have run into opposition in the US from the public who consider it as thought control.Such concern prevents teachers from even trying. The driver's education has been brought up frequently during media literacy debates. "We need speed limits,we need well-designed roads and good regulations to ensure cars are safe.But we also teach people how to drive safely,"Lee said."Whatever regulators do, whatever online platforms do,content always ends up in front of an audience,and they need to have the tools to engage critically with it." 24.What can we learn about the new trend in media literacy education in the US? A.It is offered at the high school level. B.It is included in other related subjects. C.It focuses on how to spot misinformation. D.It stresses how Internet and social media work. 【高二5月联考·英语第3页（共8页）】 25-X-732B 25.What does the underlined word "core in paragraph 5 probably mean? A.The subject that has to be studied. B.The most important part of something. C.The central part of an object or building. D.The hard central part of a fruit such as an apple. 26.What is the public's attitude to teaching kids media literacy in the US? A.Disapproving. B.Tolerant. C.Favorable. D.Unclear. 27.How is the last paragraph developed? A.By analyzing data. B.By conducting surveys. C.By listing examples. D.By making comparisons. :意王， C Have you ever listened to your old recordings and noticed how your voice has changed over time?This happens because our voices can change in pitch()and quality as we move through different stages of life.From the high-pitched voices of childhood to our deeper ones in adulthood,and finally to the slight shifts that come with aging.Understanding why our voices change can also help us protect our voices. If you've ever spent time around children,you've probably noticed that little boys and girls tend to have similar,high-pitched voices.That's because,before they grow up,their vocal cords()are about the same size.However,once they grow up,androgen and estrogen take over and cause major changes. In boys,an increase in androgen thickens and lengthens the vocal cords,which slows down their shaking movements and results in a much deeper voice.Girls'voices also change as they grow up,but to a lesser degree,since estrogen lowers their pitch slightly.These changes are permanent once they occur. While biology plays a key role in male and female voice pitch differences,social expectations also influence how voices develop.Research shows that in societies with strict gender roles, the gap between average male and female voice pitch is larger than in cultures with less strict gender roles.Even young children,before their vocal cords change biologically,tend to adjust their voices-raising or lowering their pitch-to meet social expectations. Just as our bodies change with age,so do our voices.Over time,a loss of muscle strength, more dryness,and decreased flexibility in the vocal cords can lead to a thinner,rough and unclear voice.Lung capacity can also decrease,making it harder to project the voice. The good news is that there are steps you can take to protect your voice at any age. Drinking enough water,avoiding smoking and alcohol,and giving your voice regular rest can help maintain vocal health.Like the rest of our bodies,our voices need care to stay strong. Actually,a little vocal love can go a long way. 28.What can androgen do to the vocal cords? A.Raise their pitch. B.Slow down their changes. C.Damage their muscles. D.Make them longer and thicker. T 29.What does the author want to stress in paragraph 4? A.Lung capacity. B.Social expectations. 阿，4平酒 C.Different cultures. D.Vocal cords'flexibility. h b Iaw 30.What should be avoided in order to protect our voice? A.Giving it regular rest. B.Drinking sufficient water. 月 C.Smoking and alcohol. D.Talking as little as possible. 10), 【高二5月联考·英语第4页（共8页）】 25-X-732B 31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.Why Do Our Voices Change With Time? B.What Is the Role of Androgen and Estrogen? C.How Can We Protect Our Kids'Voice Properly? D.When Do Boys and Girls Start Sounding Differently? D Burning oil,gas and coal-fuels that come from the remains of ancient plants and animals- releases carbon()into Earth's atmosphere,where it traps heat and changes the climate. That process has caused massive destruction and loss of life,and it will continue to do so.As a result,carbon is seen as a pollutant. However,Paul Hawken argues in his new book Carbon:The Book of Life that both the thinking and the message of the climate movement are wrong."Those who call carbon a pollutant should rethink what they are saying,"Hawken writes."Carbon is the building block of life.Without it,Earth would just be a lonely,dead rock." Hawken believes that treating carbon as a pollutant not only misses what has caused climate change in the first place,but also further separates people from the living world. "There is no climate crisis,but a crisis of human thinking and behavior that's damaging the soil,wiping out entire species,and changing the weather faster than people can adapt,"he argues."The warming atmosphere is a response,a teaching." Hawken's book is a lesson in what's sometimes called "unlearning",or letting go of old assumptions,like the idea that nature is something to fix or control.Instead,it explores ways to repair a broken relationship with the natural world by drawing inspiration from native cultures and new scientific discoveries. First of all,Hawken wants a change in how people talk about the natural world.He describes the word“biodiversity'”as“a bloodless term”.Even terms like“nature”are not proper for Hawken.He points out that such terms would only be needed if we are not a part of the living world. The goal of the book is not to map out a plan for saving Earth,but to rebuild the relationship with it."My community recently broke down a barrier under a bridge that had blocked the fish on their journey up the stream to give birth.The lesson from the project is about care,"Hawken writes."That's where we should start." 32.According to Paul Hawken,carbon should be treated as A.a polluting element B.the result of burning fuels C.a part of the living world D.the cause of climate change 33.What does Paul Hawken say about“biodiversity”and“nature'"? A.They are not based on the latest discoveries. B.They are helpful in fighting climate changes. C.They are not easy for the public to understand. D.They are misleading and should be abandoned. 34.What does Paul Hawken suggest people do in his new book? A.“Unlearn”to co-exist with nature. B.Find ways to control nature. C.Return to traditional ways of living. D.Fix the problems scientifically. 35.From which is the text probably taken? A.A new book. B.A book review. C.An advertisement. D.An environment report. 【高二5月联考·英语第5页（共8页）】 25-X-732B 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 If you follow these easy tips,you'll be surprised by how big a difference you can make with relatively little effort in maintaining a sustainable lifestyle. 36.Whenever possible,let the appliance(do all the work.Running a full dishwasher uses an average of 60 percent less energy than handwashing.If you don't have a dishwasher,fill the sink once instead of running the water the whole time.That way,you'll use about a fifth of the water. Measure yourself.It may seem smart to order multiple sizes when shopping for clothes online,planning to return those that don't fit.But the unfortunate reality is that many returned articles-even unopened ones-are thrown away,not resold.37. Buy the imperfect.About a third of all the produce in supermarkets is wasted just because they don't appear good-looking.38.It's easy to hide them in jams and soups,for example.Don't shy away from these foods at the store,or do sign up to have them delivered straight to your door through services such as Imperfect Foods and Hungry Harvest.39. Don't get fooled.Because of the consumer trend toward more eco-friendly products, many companies make false claims about their own efforts.For example,a brand might say that its products are free of a certain chemical,even though that chemical has been banned for decades.40.Avoid falling victim to it by looking for certifications()such as "Fair Trade Certified"or "Rainforest Alliance Certified."If a brand took the time to be evaluated by a third party,it's likely sincere about sustainability. A.Run the dishwasher or use the sink B.Such misleading practices are called "greenwashing" C.But the ugly fruit and vegetables are usually tasty to eat D.They offer imperfect-looking produce at discounted prices E.Doing right things to protect the planet is easier than you think F.So,take your measurements and rely on customer reviews instead G.Newer machines also use far less water,saving you money on both bills 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四个选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。 Preston Martin was sure that the blue car he slept in for a year during college was destroyed by the Palisades Wildfire.So he was 41 to find that the vehicle survived.Not only that,a photo of the car taken by a photographer was spreading 42 on television and online,giving viewers a measure of joy.

Scholars can't say for certain where the character of Sun Wukong came from,but this 16th-century classic likely borrowed it from existing myths and legends.They believe that some possible 60 (source)of inspiration for the character include Wuzhiqi,a monkey-like figure in Chinese mythology,and Hanuman,a Hindu god with a monkey's face. Sun Wukong has many of the characteristics 61 (close)related to superheroes.He is always ready to fight against the authorities and help the underdogs.He goes even so far to declare 62 (him)the Jade Emperor's equal. Sun Wukong spends parts of Journey to the West searching 63 immortality(), and he has eventually found it in the real world:in literature and pop culture.In this rich afterlife,Sun Wukong has inspired toys,books,plays,films and TV series across both the East and the West.Most recently,his story has led to a video game 64(call)Black Myth:Wukong.This hugely successful 65(adapt)ensures that the beloved superhero will continue his new adventures with future generations. 第四部分写作（共两节，满分40分】 第一节（满分15分） 你班将在下周英语课上进行题为“How to Use AI Tools Wisely in Our English Study”的 讨论活动。请你准备一篇发言稿，内容包括： 1,AI工具的使用现状； 2.你的观点。 【高二5月联考·英语第7页（共8页）】 25-X-732B 注意：1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear fellow students, Good morning!

Upon arriving,however,Lily noticed her cousin Tom seemed unusually quiet.When she asked why,he admitted that he had been struggling with his studies and was anxious about the upcoming college entrance exam.But he was afraid to tell his parents the truth.Determined to change his mind without embarrassing him,Lily decided to keep him company before the dinner. It was a very cold snowy day.The wind was blowing violently outside and the snow was piling up rapidly.The adults busied themselves preparing the dinner in the kitchen,leaving Lily and Tom with nothing to do. The two teenagers wandered into their grandparents'little study.As Lily was looking for some interesting books to read,she suddenly heard Tom calling out from behind the bookshelf, "Lily,come and look at this!" Rushing over,she found him holding a small,dust-covered wooden box.Together,they opened the box and found a diary hidden at the bottom.As they read through the yellowed pages they discovered that it belonged to their grandfather.The diary was filled with stories of his youth. One story in particular caught Lily's attention.It was about how their grandfather had faced a difficult time when he was still in senior high school.However,he never gave up,and with the help of his family and teachers,he was eventually admitted into his dream university. As she read on,she was deeply impressed by their grandfather's story.Just then,Lily realized this was exactly what Tom should learn more about. 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。 At dinner,Lily excitedly shared the discovery with the family.
