And it even gained the praise of Japanese animators when released in Japan in 2019.(人类对发展和城市化的贪婪以及这些行为的后果是这部奇幻冒险电影的一些主题。2019年在日本上映时，它甚至获得了日本动画师的赞誉)”以及“This film has a vivid style of flashy animation with great fight scenes, and lovable characters to follow. Besides, it delivers an amazing and heartwarming story of family, friendship, and coexistence that will teach the viewers so many important lessons in life.(这部电影有着生动的动画风格，有精彩的打斗场面，还有可爱的角色。此外，它还讲述了一个令人惊叹和温暖的家庭、友谊和共存的故事，这将教会观众生活中许多重要的教训)”可知，《罗小黑战记》这部电影包含冒险主题，教会观众许多重要的教训，是有意义和有影响的，文中没有提及电影是令人心碎的。故选C。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Here’s our list of Chinese animation movies that people should give a try and watch.(这是我们列出的人们应该尝试观看的中国动画电影)”可知，本文的目的是推荐人们去观看中国动画电影。故选D。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The Chinese animation is becoming more popular in recent years.

While Black families stayed together in one section, rarely venturing out alone, my grandmother stood out — confident and athletic while swimming, unlike the other women worried about their hair or suits. She would carry me on her back into the ocean, moving steadily along the tide. I followed my grandmother’s strong motions, thrilled by the wild sea and her fearlessness. I admired how she seemed born to the water, emerging like a queen — proud, radiant, and benevolent. Summer made our Black bodies more visible and vulnerable against narrow cultural ideals, but my grandmother never noticed. She focused on teaching me to swim — a skill that seemed unnecessary to some, as the popular media never portrayed the “great outdoors” as a welcoming place for Black people. It was seen as a space where we might feel uncomfortable or even threatened. But to me, those perceptions didn’t matter. When I finally learned to swim, it felt like I had unlocked a profound and personal secret of strength and freedom. I once wondered why enslaved Africans didn’t jump from ships near shore and swim to freedom. Later I learned that most coastal waters in West Africa were filled with poisonous fish, making swimming uncommon and dangerous. Now, whenever I enter the ocean, I remember my ancestors for whom the sea was a place of terror rather than freedom. Only after my grandmother’s death did I learn she wasn’t a strong swimmer herself. She had been brushing the ocean floor with her feet all along, keeping us afloat while teaching me rhythm and trust. Her quiet deception was not a lie but a profound act of bravery and courage. Though she hadn’t mastered it herself, my grandmother was determined to teach me to swim — not for the strokes, but for the strength and self-belief that would keep me afloat in life. 24. How was the grandmother different from other women at the beach? A. She stayed with Black families only. B. She avoided getting her hair and suits wet. C. She seemed to swim with ease and strength. D. She stood outside of the swimming section. 25. What does the author realize about African slaves? A. They were poisonous by sea creatures. B. They didn’t enjoy outdoor activities. C. They rarely swam due to natural dangers. D. They could have easily escaped by swimming. 26. Why did the grandmother teach the author to swim? A. To challenge her limits. B. To build her confidence. C. To prepare her for dangers at sea. D. To prove Black people could swim. 27. Which title best suits the passage? A. Overcoming Fears at Revere Beach B. A Summer That Changed My Childhood C. Breaking Self-Doubt and Cultural Bias D. Grandmother’s Empowering Lessons 【答案】24. C 25. C 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者回忆祖母教自己游泳的经历，以及这段经历对作者产生的深远影响。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“At nine years old, I didn’t realize how extraordinary it was for me and my grandmother to travel from our Black neighborhood to the mainly white Revere Beach. While Black families stayed together in one section, rarely venturing out alone, my grandmother stood out — confident and athletic while swimming, unlike the other women worried about their hair or suits. (九岁那年，我还没意识到，我和奶奶从我们居住的黑人社区，前往以白人为主的里维尔海滩，是一件多么不寻常的事。当时黑人家庭都聚在海滩的一个区域，很少有人单独外出，而奶奶却格外显眼 —— 她游泳时自信又矫健，不像其他女性那样顾虑头发或泳衣是否会乱。)”可知，祖母和其他女人不一样，她在游泳时自信且健壮，而其他女人担心自己的头发或衣服。因此，祖母与其他女人的不同之处在于她游泳时显得轻松而有力。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“I once wondered why enslaved Africans didn’t jump from ships near shore and swim to freedom. Later I learned that most coastal waters in West Africa were filled with poisonous fish, making swimming uncommon and dangerous. (我曾经想知道为什么被奴役的非洲人没有从靠近岸边的船上跳下来，游到自由的地方。后来我了解到，西非的大部分沿海水域都充满了有毒的鱼，这使得游泳变得不常见且危险。)”可知，作者后来了解到，西非的大部分沿海水域都充满了有毒的鱼，这使得游泳变得不常见且危险，所以非洲奴隶很少游泳是因为自然危险。故选C。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Though she hadn’t mastered it herself, my grandmother was determined to teach me to swim — not for the strokes, but for the strength and self-belief that would keep me afloat in life. (虽然祖母自己并没有掌握游泳，但她决心教我游泳——不是为了划水，而是为了让我在生活中保持力量和自信。)”可知，祖母教作者游泳不是为了划水，而是为了让她在生活中保持力量和自信。因此，祖母教作者游泳是为了建立她的自信。故选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段中“Her quiet deception was not a lie but a profound act of bravery and courage. Though she hadn’t mastered it herself, my grandmother was determined to teach me to swim — not for the strokes, but for the strength and self-belief that would keep me afloat in life. (她安静的欺骗不是谎言，而是一种深刻的勇敢和勇气行为。虽然祖母自己并没有掌握游泳，但她决心教我游泳——不是为了划水，而是为了让我在生活中保持力量和自信。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者回忆祖母教自己游泳的经历，祖母虽然自己不会游泳，但仍然勇敢地教作者游泳，让她在生活中保持力量和自信，这段经历对作者产生了深远的影响，让她克服了自我怀疑和文化偏见。因此，D选项“Grandmother’s Empowering Lessons (祖母的赋能课)”最能概括文章的主旨。故选D。 C An exhibition of paintings of ancient Chinese characters was held on July 13 in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, with the aim of promoting people-to-people and cultural exchanges. Based on the classic I Ching or The Book of Changes (《易经》), the display brought together the art of Ethiopia’s Dawit Muluneh and famous calligrapher Wu Jiuyi, who produced examples of calligraphy on the spot. Speaking at the event, its organizer Gossa Oda says the exhibition was an opportunity to showcase cultural commonalities and shared knowledge between the two countries. “In organizing this exhibition, I wanted to communicate the ancient mystery of I Ching, which helps improve connectivity between Ethiopia and China and promote their shared future. A shared future starts from shared knowledge,” says Oda, who is also the owner of the Medemer Africa Art and Sculpture Space, where the 64 paintings are housed. Oda says such an exhibition would strengthen people-to-people ties and cultural exchanges, stressing the importance of knowledge and civilizations for human development. The paintings describe the 64 divinatory (占卜的) symbols found in I Ching, which represent the day-to-day interaction between man and nature. “They are meant to share knowledge and feelings with visitors, and descriptions are written in Chinese, English and Amharic.” says Muluneh, who painted all 64 paintings in a year. He says the exhibition can be considered a stepping stone to promote cultural exchange and create mutual situations for common development between the peoples of China and Ethiopia. “The backgrounds of the paintings make use of Ethiopian styles and express the ideas of heaven, harvest, and relief, among others,” says Muluneh, who drew similarities and absorbed essential parts from the traditional arts of both countries. In an interview, Wu says that he was taken by surprise when he saw an Ethiopian artist painting Chinese characters. The exhibition attracted members of the Chinese community in Addis Ababa, Ethiopian artists and painters, and school children. 28. What’s the main purpose of the exhibition held in Addis Ababa? A. To promote Ethiopian art globally. B. To introduce the I Ching to Ethiopians. C. To promote cultural exchanges between Ethiopia and China. D. To celebrate the cooperation between Dawit Muluneh and Wu Jiuyi. 29. What do the symbols in I Ching stand for? A. Different language signs. B. Human-nature connection. C. Daily exploration in nature. D. Shared knowledge of human. 30. What does the phrase “a stepping stone” in the context mean? A. A physical object used for walking. B. A metaphor for a difficult beginning. C. A special stone used in Ethiopian art. D. An initial effort leading to further progress. 31. What’s the best title for the text? A. China and Ethiopia Cooperate on I Ching B. Countries Are Drawn to Cultural Harmony C. Advocating the Cultural Diversity Is Beneficial D. An Exhibition in Ethiopia Featuring Chinese Characters 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了在埃塞俄比亚展出的中国古代汉字画及其意义。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“An exhibition of paintings of ancient Chinese characters was held on July 13 in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, with the aim of promoting people-to-people and cultural exchanges.(7月13日，中国古代汉字画展在埃塞俄比亚首都亚的斯亚贝巴举行，旨在促进民间和文化交流)”可知，展览的主要目的是促进两国之间的文化交流，故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The paintings describes the 64 divinatory (占卜的) symbols found in I Ching, which represent the day-to-day interaction between man and nature.(这些画作描述了《易经》中的64个占卜符号，这些符号代表了人与自然的日常互动)”可知，《易经》的符号象征了人与自然的联系，故选B。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“He says the exhibition can be considered a stepping stone to promote cultural exchange and create mutual situations for common development between the peoples of China and Ethiopia.(他说，这次展览可以看作是促进中埃两国人民文化交流和共同发展的a stepping stone)”可知，提到展览作为促进文化交流的“stepping stone”，这表示取得进一步进展的初步努力。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“An exhibition of paintings of ancient Chinese characters was held on July 13 in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, with the aim of promoting people-to-people and cultural exchanges.(7月13日，中国古代汉字画展在埃塞俄比亚首都亚的斯亚贝巴举行，旨在促进民间和文化交流)”可知，通篇文章围绕埃塞俄比亚展出的中国古代汉字画及其意义展开。由此可知，“An Exhibition in Ethiopia Featuring Chinese Characters(在埃塞俄比亚举办的中国文字展览)”适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。 D（选择性必修一Unit 1 Relationships） Picture this, you win two tickets to a sold-out concert and eagerly text to ask your friends if they’d like to join. There comes their response “Maybe.” Your mood immediately turns, for you need to wait for their decisions before you can figure out your plans for the concert. If you’ve experienced anything like the above anecdote (趣闻), you’re not alone. People responding “maybe” to invitations is a common yet annoying aspect of social life. What goes on in people’s heads when they aren’t sure whether to accept an invitation? Social invitations can be a delicate dance. People often misread what someone extending an invitation wants to hear and overestimate an inviter’s likelihood of preferring a “maybe” over a “no.” Moreover, they fail to realize how much more disrespected people feel when they receive a “maybe” in response to their invitation. Naturally, we wanted to figure out why this awkward dynamic plays out. We found that it’s largely due to something called “motivated reasoning.” Motivated reasoning occurs when a person interprets information in a biased (有偏差的) way to suit their own wishes. In other words, invitees convince themselves that inviters want to hear “maybe” instead of “no” because a “maybe” is better for the invitees, allowing them to leave their options open. Besides, people tend to overestimate the negative consequences of saying “no” to invitations, thinking it will upset, anger and disappoint inviters. However, there were certain situations that made people more comfortable saying “no” to an invitation. When recipients of an invitation put themselves in the shoes of the person extending the invitation, they are more likely to realize that they’d probably prefer a definite answer. When the participants get invited to do something they didn’t want to do, they had no desire to keep their options open. The motivated reasoning then became irrelevant. While navigating social situations can be tricky, being direct and definite is sometimes best. It might reduce your options. But it’ll keep those who invite you from being left uncertain and maybe they will still think of you when the next concert comes to town. 32. Why is the concert anecdote mentioned at the beginning? A. To explain the background of the invitation. B. To stress the importance of quick replies. C. To encourage immediate decision- making. D. To introduce a common social situation. 33. What is the main reason for the response of “maybe” to an invitation? A. A biased interpretation of social cues. B. A desire for harmonious communication. C. An underestimation of refusal consequence. D. An understanding of the inviter’s expectation. 34. What is the author’s suggestion in the last paragraph? A. Keeping your options open for better plans. B. Accepting invitations to maintain friendships. C. Prioritizing clear response over open options. D. Thinking twice before refusing an invitation. 35. What’s the passage’s main purpose? A. To explore why people say “maybe” and advocate clear replies. B. To explain the hidden consequences of “maybe” in social invitations. C. To discuss the awkwardness of uncertain replies and share advice. D. To keep options open by changing replies from “no” to “maybe”. 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要讨论了人们收到邀请时回复“Maybe (可能)”这一常见社交现象，分析其背后原因及特定应对情况，并给出直接回应的建议。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段讲述演唱会门票邀请朋友得到“可能”回复的趣闻后，第二段紧接着指出“If you’ve experienced anything like the above anecdote (趣闻), you’re not alone. People responding ‘maybe’ to invitations is a common yet annoying aspect of social life. (如果你有过类似上述趣闻的经历，你并不孤单。人们对邀请回复‘可能’是社交生活中常见却令人困扰的一个方面。)” 由此可见，开篇的演唱会趣闻是为了引出“对邀请回复‘可能’”这一常见社交场景。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“We found that it’s largely due to something called “motivated reasoning.” Motivated reasoning occurs when a person interprets information in a biased (有偏差的) way to suit their own wishes. (我们发现，这在很大程度上是由一种叫做“动机性推理”的东西导致的。当一个人以偏见的方式解读信息以满足自己的愿望时，就会发生动机性推理。)” 可知，对邀请回复“可能”的主要原因是受邀者存在偏见性的信息解读，即对社交线索的偏见性理解。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While navigating social situations can be tricky, being direct and definite is sometimes best. It might reduce your options. But it’ll keep those who invite you from being left uncertain (虽然应对社交场合可能很棘手，但直接明确有时是最好的选择。这可能会减少你的选择，但它会让那些邀请你的人不会陷入不确定的境地)” 可知，作者建议优先选择明确的回复，而非保留选择余地。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。文章开篇引入“可能”回复的社交现象，第三段明确“We wanted to figure out why this awkward dynamic plays out. We found that it’s largely due to something called “motivated reasoning.” (我们想弄清楚这种尴尬的互动为什么会发生。我们发现，这在很大程度上是由一种叫做“动机性推理”的东西导致的)”，即核心部分在探索人们说“可能”的原因；最后一段则提出“being direct and definite is sometimes best (直接明确有时是最好的选择)”，由此可知，文章目的是倡导明确回复。故选A。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）（选择性必修二 U5 Education） 根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项是多余选项。 Over the last few years, there has been a trend to focus on gratitude. We can buy different kinds of gratitude journals, or download some apps to write down our blessings. ____36____ “We should also bear in mind that gratitude is free.” says Laurie Santos, who teaches a course on the science of well-being and happiness at Yale University. ____37____ Studies have found that keeping a gratitude journal can decrease materialism and enhance generosity among adolescents. Giving thanks can help people sleep better, lower stress and improve interpersonal relationships. ____38____ “It is one practice that really wins out from the field of positive psychology.” she says. Her students, in addition to keeping gratitude journals, are asked to write a thank-you letter and then read it out loud to the recipient (收信人). “They show measurable improvements in well-being even a month after they’ve done this.” she says. What works for some people may not work for others. There’s a lack of research on how gratitude exercises help people with anxiety or clinical depression. Indeed, for all the research on the broad benefits of expressing gratitude, it is not for everyone. ____39____ It can’t make injustice, loss or pain disappear. During really tough times, like when she suffers from poor health, Santos feels like she is reaching for reasons to be grateful. But she still tries to find some. “I’m grateful for the sun that’s shining or being able to wake up.” she says. ____40____ A. That is, it’s not a cure-all. B. So it does not feel pleasant. C.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章说明了感恩逐渐成为一种趋势及感恩的重要性。 【36题详解】 空前说“We can buy different kinds of gratitude journals, or download some apps to write down our blessings.(我们可以买各种各样的感恩日记，或者下载一些应用程序来记下我们的祝福。)”，空格处应该解释为什么要买这些东西，D选项“Those products just remind us to take time to be grateful.(这些产品只是提醒我们要花时间去感恩。)”说明了这些产品提醒我们要花时间去感恩，也就是解释了为什么要买这些东西，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选D。 【37题详解】 空后说“Studies have found that keeping a gratitude journal can decrease materialism and enhance generosity among adolescents. Giving thanks can help people sleep better, lower stress and improve interpersonal relationships.(研究发现，在青少年中，写感恩日记可以减少物质主义，增强慷慨。感恩可以帮助人们睡得更好，减轻压力，改善人际关系。)”，说明写感恩日记有很多好处，E选项“Noting down gratitude and expressing it seem to pay off.(记下感激之情并表达出来似乎是有回报的。)”说明了写感恩日记是有好处的，位于空格处可以引出下面具体的好处，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选E。 【38题详解】 空前说“Studies have found that keeping a gratitude journal can decrease materialism and enhance generosity among adolescents. Giving thanks can help people sleep better, lower stress and improve interpersonal relationships.(研究发现，在青少年中，写感恩日记可以减少物质主义，增强慷慨。感恩可以帮助人们睡得更好，减轻压力，改善人际关系。)”，说明的是写感恩日记的好处，空后说““It is one practice that really wins out from the field of positive psychology.” she says. Her students, in addition to keeping gratitude journals, are asked to write a thank-you letter and then read it out loud to the recipient (收信人). “They show measurable improvements in well-being even a month after they’ve done this.” she says.(“这是一个在积极心理学领域脱颖而出的实践”，她说。她的学生除了记感恩日记外，还被要求写一封感谢信，然后大声念给收信人听。“即使在这样做一个月后，他们的幸福感也有了明显的改善。”她说。)”，说明她很重视写感恩日记，G选项“That’s why gratitude features heavily in Santos’ happiness class.(这就是为什么感恩在Santos的幸福课上占据重要地位。)”说明了Santos在她的课上很重视感恩，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选G。 【39题详解】 空前说“There’s a lack of research on how gratitude exercises help people with anxiety or clinical depression. Indeed, for all the research on the broad benefits of expressing gratitude, it is not for everyone.(关于感恩练习如何帮助焦虑或临床抑郁症患者的研究还很缺乏。事实上，尽管所有关于表达感激的广泛好处的研究都表明，这并不适用于所有人。)”，这说明感恩也不是适合每一个人，A选项“That is, it’s not a cure-all.(也就是说，它不是万灵药。)”说明感恩不是适合每一个人，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选A。 【40题详解】 空前说“During really tough times, like when she suffers from poor health, Santos feels like she is reaching for reasons to be grateful. But she still tries to find some. “I’m grateful for the sun that’s shining or being able to wake up.” she says.(在非常艰难的时期，比如她身体不好的时候，Santos觉得她在寻找感恩的理由。但她仍然试图找到一些。“我很感激太阳还在照耀，我还能醒来。”她说。)”说明她在身体不好时也试图找可感恩的事情，空格处应该说这种做法给她带来了什么好处，C选项“Gratitude allows her to remember what is going well.(感激之情让她记起顺利的事情。)”说明了感恩给她带来的好处，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选C。 第三部分 英语知识运用 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）（选择性必修一Unit 1 Relationships） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My year started with a plan.

With the drama festival approaching, the school’s drama club had released a notice for the dancer audition (试镜) for The Twelve Dancing Princesses. And of course I was the first one to sign up. As I left the stage after my audition at school, I could feel it. The power. The future. I knew that someday when dancers’ magazines wrote about me, they would say this moment was when my rise to a star began. My ballet slippers hurt my feet, but I figured that was helpful. In The Twelve Dancing Princesses, the princesses danced all night so they probably had foot pain, too. My performance was more genuine because of my pain. I needed to show my devotion even when I wasn’t on stage, so I approached Mr. Ellison, the drama club advisor. He told me that casting (角色分配) will be posted tomorrow.“ Thank you, sir,” I said, using the almost British pronunciation of Hollywood stars in the 1940s. I was so sure that Mr. Ellison would cast me as a princess. The next morning, I went to read the cast list. The twelve princesses were first, by number. I scanned from One to Twelve, but none by me. At the bottom of the casting list, my name finally appeared. My role was a really small one, an old woman who helped a soldier, not one of the princesses! I was desperately disappointed. Mr. Ellison must have made a mistake! No one else in the school had my skills or preparation!. I found him in his classroom, but he insisted there was no mistake and emphasized that every role in a play was important. Unable to accept the fact, I burst into tears. Mr. Ellison managed to calm me down and encouraged me to have a try in the rehearsal (排练). 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。 The next day, I dragged myself to the rehearsal. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the great day arrived and “the old woman” couldn’t wait to get on stage. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The next day, I dragged myself to the rehearsal, still feeling disheartened. As we began, I watched the princesses dance gracefully, a twinge of jealousy stirring within me. But then, as I started to act out my role, something shifted. Mr. Ellison’s words echoed in my mind, “Every role is important.” Gradually, I immersed myself in the character of the old woman. My lines flowed naturally, and I found a newfound respect for my role. To my surprise, my performance drew applause from my peers. This small role, I realized, could be a powerful one. Finally, the great day arrived, and “the old woman” couldn’t wait to get on stage. As the curtains opened, a rush of excitement filled me. I delivered my lines with conviction, feeling more alive on stage than I had ever been. The audience laughed at my humorous lines, and I felt a sense of accomplishment. When the final curtain fell, the applause was deafening. Mr. Ellison’s words had been right — every role was important. I had found my place in the spotlight, not as a princess, but as an old woman who helped a soldier. And it was enough. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了热爱舞蹈的女孩报名参加学校戏剧俱乐部的《十二个跳舞的公主》试镜，期望成为明星舞者。试镜后她自信将被选为公主，却最终被分配扮演帮助士兵的老妇人。女孩深感失望，顾问老师安慰并鼓励她尝试排练。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天，我拖着自己来到排练现场。”可知，第一段可描写女孩虽然失望但仍然参加排练，以及在排练过程中的心态转变和发现自身角色的价值。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，那个伟大的日子到来了，‘老妇人’迫不及待地想要登上舞台。”可知，第二段可描写女孩在正式演出时的表现和心路历程，以及演出结束后的感受和收获。 2. 续写线索：女孩失望参加排练——逐渐投入角色——发现角色价值——正式演出表现出色——获得认可和成就感 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①改变：shift/change ②投入：immerse/engage in ③发现：find/discover 情绪类 ①失望的：disheartened/disappointed ②嫉妒的：jealous/envious ③令我惊讶的是：to my surprise/to my amazement 【点睛】[高分句型1] As we began, I watched the princesses dance gracefully, a twinge of jealousy stirring within me.

Here’s our list of Chinese animation movies that people should give a try and watch. Big Fish and Begonia This fantasy Chinese animated film was released in 2016. It succeeds in various elements in its story such as the cycle of life, death, and what’s beyond; the natural order, unconditional love, the yin and yang, the actions and the results, and a beautiful tale of family, love, and friendship. Beyond these remarkable themes is a breathtaking animation with vivid visuals that made watching the whole film a magical and dramatic experience. The Legend of Hei Humanity’s greed for development and urbanization and what are the consequences of these actions are some of the main themes in this fantastic adventure film. And it even gained the praise of Japanese animators when released in Japan in 2019. This film has a vivid style of flashy animation with great fight scenes, and lovable characters to follow. Besides, it delivers an amazing and heartwarming story of family, friendship, and coexistence that will teach the viewers so many important lessons in life. Jiang Ziya: The Legend of Deification Jiang Ziya or The Legend of Deification is the second installment of the Chinese mythology series after Nezha: The Demon’s Rebirth.

B（必修一 U1 Life Choices） At nine years old, I didn’t realize how extraordinary it was for me and my grandmother to travel from our Black neighborhood to the mainly white Revere Beach. While Black families stayed together in one section, rarely venturing out alone, my grandmother stood out — confident and athletic while swimming, unlike the other women worried about their hair or suits. She would carry me on her back into the ocean, moving steadily along the tide. I followed my grandmother’s strong motions, thrilled by the wild sea and her fearlessness. I admired how she seemed born to the water, emerging like a queen — proud, radiant, and benevolent. Summer made our Black bodies more visible and vulnerable against narrow cultural ideals, but my grandmother never noticed. She focused on teaching me to swim — a skill that seemed unnecessary to some, as the popular media never portrayed the “great outdoors” as a welcoming place for Black people. It was seen as a space where we might feel uncomfortable or even threatened. But to me, those perceptions didn’t matter. When I finally learned to swim, it felt like I had unlocked a profound and personal secret of strength and freedom. I once wondered why enslaved Africans didn’t jump from ships near shore and swim to freedom. Later I learned that most coastal waters in West Africa were filled with poisonous fish, making swimming uncommon and dangerous. Now, whenever I enter the ocean, I remember my ancestors for whom the sea was a place of terror rather than freedom. Only after my grandmother’s death did I learn she wasn’t a strong swimmer herself. She had been brushing the ocean floor with her feet all along, keeping us afloat while teaching me rhythm and trust. Her quiet deception was not a lie but a profound act of bravery and courage. Though she hadn’t mastered it herself, my grandmother was determined to teach me to swim — not for the strokes, but for the strength and self-belief that would keep me afloat in life. 24. How was the grandmother different from other women at the beach? A. She stayed with Black families only. B. She avoided getting her hair and suits wet. C. She seemed to swim with ease and strength. D. She stood outside of the swimming section. 25. What does the author realize about African slaves? A. They were poisonous by sea creatures. B. They didn’t enjoy outdoor activities. C. They rarely swam due to natural dangers. D. They could have easily escaped by swimming. 26. Why did the grandmother teach the author to swim? A. To challenge her limits. B. To build her confidence. C. To prepare her for dangers at sea. D. To prove Black people could swim. 27. Which title best suits the passage? A. Overcoming Fears at Revere Beach B. A Summer That Changed My Childhood C. Breaking Self-Doubt and Cultural Bias D. Grandmother’s Empowering Lessons C An exhibition of paintings of ancient Chinese characters was held on July 13 in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, with the aim of promoting people-to-people and cultural exchanges. Based on the classic I Ching or The Book of Changes (《易经》), the display brought together the art of Ethiopia’s Dawit Muluneh and famous calligrapher Wu Jiuyi, who produced examples of calligraphy on the spot. Speaking at the event, its organizer Gossa Oda says the exhibition was an opportunity to showcase cultural commonalities and shared knowledge between the two countries. “In organizing this exhibition, I wanted to communicate the ancient mystery of I Ching, which helps improve connectivity between Ethiopia and China and promote their shared future. A shared future starts from shared knowledge,” says Oda, who is also the owner of the Medemer Africa Art and Sculpture Space, where the 64 paintings are housed. Oda says such an exhibition would strengthen people-to-people ties and cultural exchanges, stressing the importance of knowledge and civilizations for human development. The paintings describe the 64 divinatory (占卜的) symbols found in I Ching, which represent the day-to-day interaction between man and nature. “They are meant to share knowledge and feelings with visitors, and descriptions are written in Chinese, English and Amharic.” says Muluneh, who painted all 64 paintings in a year. He says the exhibition can be considered a stepping stone to promote cultural exchange and create mutual situations for common development between the peoples of China and Ethiopia. “The backgrounds of the paintings make use of Ethiopian styles and express the ideas of heaven, harvest, and relief, among others,” says Muluneh, who drew similarities and absorbed essential parts from the traditional arts of both countries. In an interview, Wu says that he was taken by surprise when he saw an Ethiopian artist painting Chinese characters. The exhibition attracted members of the Chinese community in Addis Ababa, Ethiopian artists and painters, and school children. 28. What’s the main purpose of the exhibition held in Addis Ababa? A. To promote Ethiopian art globally. B. To introduce the I Ching to Ethiopians. C. To promote cultural exchanges between Ethiopia and China. D. To celebrate the cooperation between Dawit Muluneh and Wu Jiuyi. 29. What do the symbols in I Ching stand for? A. Different language signs. B. Human-nature connection. C. Daily exploration in nature. D. Shared knowledge of human. 30. What does the phrase “a stepping stone” in the context mean? A. A physical object used for walking. B. A metaphor for a difficult beginning. C. A special stone used in Ethiopian art. D. An initial effort leading to further progress. 31. What’s the best title for the text? A. China and Ethiopia Cooperate on I Ching B. Countries Are Drawn to Cultural Harmony C. Advocating the Cultural Diversity Is Beneficial D. An Exhibition in Ethiopia Featuring Chinese Characters D（选择性必修一Unit 1 Relationships） Picture this, you win two tickets to a sold-out concert and eagerly text to ask your friends if they’d like to join. There comes their response “Maybe.” Your mood immediately turns, for you need to wait for their decisions before you can figure out your plans for the concert. If you’ve experienced anything like the above anecdote (趣闻), you’re not alone. People responding “maybe” to invitations is a common yet annoying aspect of social life. What goes on in people’s heads when they aren’t sure whether to accept an invitation? Social invitations can be a delicate dance. People often misread what someone extending an invitation wants to hear and overestimate an inviter’s likelihood of preferring a “maybe” over a “no.” Moreover, they fail to realize how much more disrespected people feel when they receive a “maybe” in response to their invitation. Naturally, we wanted to figure out why this awkward dynamic plays out. We found that it’s largely due to something called “motivated reasoning.” Motivated reasoning occurs when a person interprets information in a biased (有偏差的) way to suit their own wishes. In other words, invitees convince themselves that inviters want to hear “maybe” instead of “no” because a “maybe” is better for the invitees, allowing them to leave their options open. Besides, people tend to overestimate the negative consequences of saying “no” to invitations, thinking it will upset, anger and disappoint inviters. However, there were certain situations that made people more comfortable saying “no” to an invitation. When recipients of an invitation put themselves in the shoes of the person extending the invitation, they are more likely to realize that they’d probably prefer a definite answer. When the participants get invited to do something they didn’t want to do, they had no desire to keep their options open. The motivated reasoning then became irrelevant. While navigating social situations can be tricky, being direct and definite is sometimes best. It might reduce your options. But it’ll keep those who invite you from being left uncertain and maybe they will still think of you when the next concert comes to town. 32. Why is the concert anecdote mentioned at the beginning? A. To explain the background of the invitation. B. To stress the importance of quick replies. C. To encourage immediate decision- making. D. To introduce a common social situation. 33. What is the main reason for the response of “maybe” to an invitation? A. A biased interpretation of social cues. B. A desire for harmonious communication. C. An underestimation of refusal consequence. D. An understanding of the inviter’s expectation. 34. What is the author’s suggestion in the last paragraph? A. Keeping your options open for better plans. B. Accepting invitations to maintain friendships. C. Prioritizing clear response over open options. D. Thinking twice before refusing an invitation. 35. What’s the passage’s main purpose? A. To explore why people say “maybe” and advocate clear replies. B. To explain the hidden consequences of “maybe” in social invitations. C. To discuss the awkwardness of uncertain replies and share advice. D. To keep options open by changing replies from “no” to “maybe”. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）（选择性必修二 U5 Education） 根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项是多余选项。 Over the last few years, there has been a trend to focus on gratitude. We can buy different kinds of gratitude journals, or download some apps to write down our blessings. ____36____ “We should also bear in mind that gratitude is free.” says Laurie Santos, who teaches a course on the science of well-being and happiness at Yale University. ____37____ Studies have found that keeping a gratitude journal can decrease materialism and enhance generosity among adolescents. Giving thanks can help people sleep better, lower stress and improve interpersonal relationships. ____38____ “It is one practice that really wins out from the field of positive psychology.” she says. Her students, in addition to keeping gratitude journals, are asked to write a thank-you letter and then read it out loud to the recipient (收信人). “They show measurable improvements in well-being even a month after they’ve done this.” she says. What works for some people may not work for others. There’s a lack of research on how gratitude exercises help people with anxiety or clinical depression. Indeed, for all the research on the broad benefits of expressing gratitude, it is not for everyone. ____39____ It can’t make injustice, loss or pain disappear. During really tough times, like when she suffers from poor health, Santos feels like she is reaching for reasons to be grateful. But she still tries to find some. “I’m grateful for the sun that’s shining or being able to wake up.” she says. ____40____ A. That is, it’s not a cure-all. B. So it does not feel pleasant. C. Gratitude allows her to remember what is going well. D. Those products just remind us to take time to be grateful. E. Noting down gratitude and expressing it seem to pay off. F. Practicing too much gratitude may have undesired effects. G. That’s why gratitude features heavily in Santos’ happiness class. 第三部分 英语知识运用 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）（选择性必修一Unit 1 Relationships） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My year started with a plan.

With the drama festival approaching, the school’s drama club had released a notice for the dancer audition (试镜) for The Twelve Dancing Princesses. And of course I was the first one to sign up. As I left the stage after my audition at school, I could feel it. The power. The future. I knew that someday when dancers’ magazines wrote about me, they would say this moment was when my rise to a star began. My ballet slippers hurt my feet, but I figured that was helpful. In The Twelve Dancing Princesses, the princesses danced all night so they probably had foot pain, too. My performance was more genuine because of my pain. I needed to show my devotion even when I wasn’t on stage, so I approached Mr. Ellison, the drama club advisor. He told me that casting (角色分配) will be posted tomorrow.“ Thank you, sir,” I said, using the almost British pronunciation of Hollywood stars in the 1940s. I was so sure that Mr. Ellison would cast me as a princess. The next morning, I went to read the cast list. The twelve princesses were first, by number. I scanned from One to Twelve, but none by me. At the bottom of the casting list, my name finally appeared. My role was a really small one, an old woman who helped a soldier, not one of the princesses! I was desperately disappointed. Mr. Ellison must have made a mistake! No one else in the school had my skills or preparation!. I found him in his classroom, but he insisted there was no mistake and emphasized that every role in a play was important. Unable to accept the fact, I burst into tears. Mr. Ellison managed to calm me down and encouraged me to have a try in the rehearsal (排练). 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。 The next day, I dragged myself to the rehearsal. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the great day arrived and “the old woman” couldn’t wait to get on stage. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $请看听力部分第一节，第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。例如现在你有5秒钟的时间看试卷上的例题。你将听到以下内容。excuse me, can you tell me how much . the shirt is?
