B Zhang Yinhua, 56, has exhibited hundreds of films to thousands of local villagers. He has done this for more than a quarter century and is among the last generation of state-trained showmen in rural China, who travel through lonely villages, lighting outdoor screens with movies, for free, at nighttime public squares. “It was hard work. I used horses, and sometimes my own shoulders, to carry the equipment.” Zhang admits. “The roads here were bad. I got tired. But when I played the movies, the public was so happy and satisfied. This gave me encouragement.” Cinema helped build socialism in China. For decades, heroic movies were produced praising the ideals of the revolution. As early as 1950, nearly 2,000 projectionists (放映员) were trained to bring movies to villagers across the nation’s rural areas. Lu Xiaoning, a historian of Chinese cinema, notes that millions of rural Chinese from that time had never watched a film before. Since the reforms of the 1980s, the films Zhang showed have expanded from cultural and educational movies to lighter entertaining ones. Among the main features, Zhang shows public service videos about HIV-AIDS, forest fire prevention, and personal health. His favorite films are Legend of the White Serpent, a traditional story about love, and The Journey to the West, about devotion and friendship. Challenged by years of competition from television and smartphones, Zhang’s movie circuit (巡回表演) is more modest these days. Once a month, he visits only four villages in the surrounding Hengduan Mountains. And the appeal of free movies in village squares, under the stars, has been replaced by smartphone screens. Zhang has to take photos of the start, middle, and ending of each open-air film he shows, to prove to his government bosses that he’s still on the job. “Television came in in 1991, and that was the start of the end,” Zhang says. “I think outdoor movies may come back into fashion,” Zhang says. “People are tired of fighting over the remote control at home. They’re bored. They miss the sense of being together.” 24. From Zhang Yinhua’s description, we may infer that ________. A. he found his job rewarding even though it was tough. B. he often complained about the poor road conditions. C. the government showed little support for his efforts. D. he had a strong personal interest in watching films. 25. What can we learn from Para. 3 and Para. 4? A. Movies shown at that time were not so interesting. B. The audience’s taste in films has changed over time. C. Millions of Chinese in the 1950s never watched a film. D. Projectionists have played a role in the development of rural films 26. What did Zhang Yinhua probably mean by saying “that was the start of the end” in Para. 5? A. Outdoor movies might become less popular. B. He would no longer need to take photos as proof. C. Villagers would no longer be able to watch movies. D. Movies might not be free for villagers in the future. 27. What is Zhang Yinhua’s attitude towards outdoor movies? A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Concerned. D. Confused. C In schools and offices, mind wandering is often seen as a lack of focus. However, new research published in the Journal of Management suggests that it could be a powerful tool for solving tough problems. The study found that curious individuals who allow themselves to daydream about work challenges are more likely to experience epiphanies-sudden moments of deep insight. These flashes of understanding can spark innovative solutions and renew a sense of purpose in their careers. The research involved business students, graduates, and professionals. Participants joined workshops where they reflected on key life events and their desired contributions. Importantly, they were also given time to let their minds wander intentionally. Daydreaming was treated not as a loss of concentration, but as a useful part of the thinking process. The results showed that participants who daydreamed during challenges gained more meaningful insights. Those who were naturally curious and enjoyed complex problems benefited the most. For them, daydreaming was less about escape and more about discovering new pathways forward. “Mind wandering helps people look beyond existing solutions and think more imaginatively,” said Professor Markus Baer, one of the researchers. He described daydreaming as a more liberating approach compared to formal problem-solving methods. Erik Dane, who led the study, added that stepping back to see the bigger picture can lead to fresh ideas and a stronger sense of direction. The researchers suggest that organizations and schools should recognize the value of problem-solving daydreaming. By offering training in intentional reflection, they can help people develop this skill. For those seeking career growth or creative breakthroughs, looking inward through structured daydreaming might be the key. As Dane noted, such epiphanies can shape how people plan careers, build confidence, and lead others-proving that sometimes, the most productive thought occurs when the mind is free to explore. 28. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Daydreaming is a sign of poor concentration and is unproductive. B. Daydreaming is a skill that only benefits business professionals. C. Daydreaming is a valuable tool for insight and problem-solving. D. Daydreaming is a negative habit that should be strictly prohibited. 29. According to the research findings, which type of people would benefit LEAST from intentional daydreaming? A. People who lack natural curiosity in their work. B. People who use conventional methods for problems C. People who have difficulty focusing on complex tasks. D. People who prefer structured problem-solving methods. 30. In Para. 3, the underlined word “liberating” is used to describe the approach of daydreaming. What does it most likely mean? A. Traditional and formal. B. Restrictive and limiting. C. Freeing and unrestricting. D. Complicated and difficult. 31. What would the researchers most likely recommend to schools and companies? A. Punish daydreaming during work or study hours. B. Ignore mind wandering as an unproductive behavior. C. Focus solely on traditional problem-solving methods. D. Offer training to develop intentional daydreaming skills. D Artificial Intelligence is no longer a futuristic concept but a present-day reality, especially in education. Tools like AI tutors and automated writing assistants are becoming common in classrooms worldwide. While many educators welcome these changes for their efficiency, a growing debate concerns the potential downsides of over-reliance on this technology. Supporters argue that AI offers personalization without equal. It can analyze a student’s performance in real-time, identify knowledge gaps, and provide tailored exercises, effectively acting as a private tutor for every learner. This can free up teachers from routine grading, allowing them to focus on more meaningful interactions and fostering critical thinking skills. Furthermore, AI can make learning more engaging through interactive simulations and provide access to vast resources, providing equal access to education for students in remote areas. However, critics warn of significant risks. The most pressing concern is the obstacle to the development of independent thinking. If students constantly turn to AI for instant answers and polished essays, they may skip the essential, though often frustrating, process of struggle and discovery. This struggle is where deep learning, problem-solving skills, and intellectual ability to recover are developed. Over-dependence on AI could lead to a generation that is skilled at using tools but lacks the fundamental ability to analyze and create by themselves. Moreover, an over-reliance on algorithmic (算法的) recommendations might create an “intellectual bubble,” limiting students’ exposure to diverse perspectives and challenging viewpoints. The human element of a teacher-mentoring, inspiring, and understanding a student’s emotional state is something AI cannot imitate. In conclusion AI is a powerful tool, but it should serve as an aid, not a replacement for the human core of education. The challenge for educators and students is to strike a balance. We must learn to take advantage of AI’s strengths for efficiency and personalization while consciously defending the space for critical thought, creativity, and the invaluable human connection that truly drives learning forward. 32. What is the main argument of the passage regarding AI in education? A. It should entirely replace traditional teaching for greater efficiency B. It is a transformative tool that needs careful management to avoid harm. C. It enhances personalized learning but overlooks potential risks. D. It mainly threatens teachers’ job security all around the world. 33. According to Para. 3, what is the main criticism of over-using AI? A. It is too expensive for schools to implement. B. It makes learning less interesting for students. C. It gives out wrong or misleading information. D. It prevents the growth of independent thinking 34 The phrase “intellectual bubble” in Para. 4 most likely refers to a situation where students . A. only care about AI-related subjects. B. see only algorithm-suggested content. C. grow less smart without a teacher’s help. D. face too many conflicting views and ideas. 35. Which is the best title of the text? A. AI in Education: A Double-Edged Sword Requiring Balance B. The Intellectual Bubble: A Risk of Over-Reliance on Algorithms C. AI’s Role in Education: Enhancing Efficiency and Personalization D. AI Tutoring Systems: Delivering Customized Educational Experiences 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。 The high school years are a period of significant psychological growth and change. A recent study published in the Journal of Adolescent Health has shed light on some key aspects of teenage mental health. ____36____ One interesting finding is about decision-making. This is because the prefrontal cortex (前额皮层), the part of the brain responsible for decision-making and impulse control, is not fully developed until early adulthood. ____37____ As a result, teenagers often make decisions based on emotional responses rather than critical thinking. Another important aspect is social media use. Spending too much time comparing oneself to others online can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem. ____38____ It can provide opportunities for social connection and support, especially for those who feel lonely in real life. ____39____ Academic pressures, extracurricular activities, and relationship issues can all contribute to high levels of stress. Techniques such as mindfulness meditation, regular exercise, and maintaining a balanced schedule can help reduce stress and improve overall well-being. Finally, the research highlighted the role of family support. ____40____ When parents and siblings provide open communication, trust, and emotional support, teenagers are better able to navigate the challenges of adolescence and build resilience. A. This underdevelopment affects their ability to think critically about long-term consequences. B. However, controlled use of social media can have positive effects. C. These aspects include decision-making, social media use, stress management, and family support. D. Stress management is also crucial for high school students. E. Strong family bonds are associated with lower rates of mental health problems in teenagers. F. This is because it offers a sense of belonging and a platform to share experiences. G. Therefore experts recommend limiting screen time and focusing on in-person interactions to protect one’s mental well-being. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 When Susan Maushart looked around her house, she saw electronics everywhere.

His face showed pain as he rested his injured ankle on some soft moss (苔藓) Even with the bandage, it still hurt badly. This trip was supposed to be his dream-to show me the Idaho mountains where he worked as a young smokechaser (森林消防员). But now, in just one moment, it had turned into a nightmare. “Kirk,” Granddad said, looking at me calmly but seriously. “I need you to help me get back to the fire tower...” Me? Was he joking? I didn’t know anything about mountains. I was just a city kid. Earlier, I had been shouting and running down the rocky slope. I didn’t realize then that my actions made some rocks fall. Maybe that was why Granddad lost his balance and hurt his weak left ankle. That morning, the weather was warm and sunny. We left the fire tower to hike to a small lake that Granddad remembered from his youth. He once worked in that tower and loved living in these mountains. But one summer, he had to quit his job after he broke his left ankle-not while working, but while playing volleyball. “Just playing,” Granddad said with a sigh. Just playing. Like what I was doing-carelessly running down the mountain without thinking. I felt a lump in my throat. “Granddad, I’m really sorry...” “It’s not your fault,” he said, as if he could read my mind. “But now, I need you to be my legs. Go back to the fire tower and call my friend Ken. His number is next to the phone.” He would stay here alone? And I had to go back by myself? What if I got lost? Granddad saw the worry in my eyes and smiled gently. “No storms for now. It might rain later. Just walk uphill. When you reach the path, turn left and look up-far up. You’ll see the tower. You can’t miss it. I’ll be okay here.” I knew he was right. His calm voice gave me courage. I took a deep breath, turned around, and started walking. 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。 Paragraph 1: With the sky darkening and thundering, the steep slope ahead seemed like an impossible challenge. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I woke up at dawn, wanting news of Granddad, but the phone was silent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 绝密★考试结束前 2025学年第一学期钱塘联盟期中联考 高二年级英语学科试题 考生须知： 1. 本卷共10页，满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2. 答题前，在答题卷指定区域填写班级、姓名、考场号、座位号及准考证号并填涂相应数字。 3. 所有答案必须写在答题纸上，写在试卷上无效。 4. 考试结束后，只需上交答题纸。 选择题部分 第I卷（选择题部分，共95分） 第一部分 听力（共两节，共20题，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。 【1题答案】 【答案】A 【2题答案】 【答案】C 【3题答案】 【答案】B 【4题答案】 【答案】C 【5题答案】 【答案】B 第二节（共15小题；每小题1.5分，满分22.5分） 听下面5段对话或独白。每段对话或独白后有几个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听每段对话或独白前，你将有时间阅读各个小题，每小题5秒钟；听完后，各小题将给出5秒钟的作答时间。每段对话或独白读两遍。 【6~7题答案】 【答案】6.

Yet I pressed on without any hesitation, clawing myself up the loose rocks that chinked hollowly with each step. Soon I reached the narrow hiking trail, only to be engulfed by the shadows of angry black clouds that unleashed downpour and even grape-sized hail. Frightened as I was, I persevered to dash along the trail, then into a meadow. There! The door of the fire tower! Puffing in the thin mountain air, with blurred vision, I stumbled through the door and reached for the phone. So exhausted was I that I collapsed into sleep after finishing the phone call. I woke up at dawn, wanting news of Granddad, but the phone was silent. Opening the fire tower door, Sunshine reappeared, warm and radiant. However, thinking of Granddad alone, my heart ached greatly. Every attempt to temporarily distract my mind failed as worries incessantly gripped my pounding heart. Fortunately, the phone finally rang. I rushed to it and it was Granddad’s voice, calm as ever. “Ankle will be fine. Ken’s driving me to you tomorrow. You are all right, son?” A flood of relief and warmth surged through me. “I’m just fine,” I replied, with tears brimming my eyes. Maybe the mountains suited me, after all. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
