Rooted in realistic themes, they strike a chord in everyone’s heart. Below are four outstanding films that shone on the big screen. Successor Douban Rating: 7.1 Successor uses dark humor to explore family bonds, education, and personal growth. It follows Ma Chenggang, who adopts an extreme “poverty training” method to prepare his son for inheriting the family business. Labeled an “educational horror film”, it not only raises questions about problematic teaching approaches but also makes viewers reflect on how education shapes children’s lives. Her Story Douban Rating: 9.1 Her Story weaves together the life journeys of three women at different stages. It portrays warm daily interactions between urban men and women while emphasizing the importance of self-love. Directed, written, and edited by Shao Yihui, the film earned over 200 million yuan in just four days, gaining both huge box office success and positive word-of-mouth. Article 20 Douban Rating: 7.5 Article 20, directed by renowned filmmakers Zhang Yimou, is a comedy inspired by Article 20 of China’s Criminal Law (on self-defense). Starring Lei Jiayin and Ma Li, it tells the story of prosecutor (检察官) Han Min, who deals with a controversial case while sorting out his own family troubles. The film offers a thought-provoking look at legal principles and real-life social issues in modern China. Like a Rolling Stone Douban Rating: 8.8 Like a Rolling Stone, directed by Yin Lichuan and starring Yong Mei, focuses on women’s self-awareness and growth. It follows Li Hong, a housewife who sets off on a solo journey amid (在……之中) the dullness of middle age, rediscovering her self-worth. Its metaphorical (比喻性的) title — rich in cultural and philosophical meaning — has sparked wide discussions, making it deeply relatable, especially to female viewers. 1. Which film got the highest score on Douban? A. Successor. B. Her Story. C. Article 20. D. Like a Rolling Stone. 2. What can you know about Like a Rolling Stone? A. It appeals to female viewers. B. It focuses on family conflicts. C. It gains high box office returns. D. It reflects on parents’ education. 3. Where is the passage probably taken from? A. A historic book. B. An academic article. C. An entertainment magazine. D. A science report. B It’s common to see a barista (咖啡师) create coffee art, but it’s a whole different ballgame doing the same thing with tea. Han Zheming has managed to perfect the skill, creating tea art in cups, or dian cha in Chinese, which used to be a ritual (仪式) during the Song Dynasty. Over the past six years, he has used tea and spoons to create nearly 200 patterns based on ancient paintings. “It’s like adding bells and whistles to tea and giving people a stronger sense of occasion, so drinking tea is more fun,” Han says. It’s also his intention to bring the old ritual back to modern life and have more people appreciate its charm. Chinese tea culture started to enjoy popularity during the Tang Dynasty and flourished (繁荣) throughout the Song Dynasty, when tea had become a necessity for almost everyone, from nobles and scholars to common people, just like other necessary items, such as rice, oil and salt. In the Song Dynasty, the popular way of having tea was through dian cha. The process begins with hot water being poured over fine powdered tea, creating a paste. Then more hot water is slowly added as the tea is constantly whisked (搅动) by hand with a bamboo stick. This action of pouring hot water is called dian, hence the name dian cha, which was listed as an intangible cultural heritage of Runzhou District, Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province. Han has been fascinated by the culture and art of the Song Dynasty. “My mother loves traditional culture and I have been leaning toward it under her influence,” Han says. After graduating in 2006, he took great delight in drinking tea gradually. This led him to learn about traditional tea culture and buy ceramic tea sets, especially those made in the style of the Song Dynasty. While studying the history and trying to figure out the reasons behind the use of tea sets, he came across the art of dian cha. “I was amazed by this wonderful way of drinking tea,” Han says. 4. How does the writer introduce the topic of dian cha in the first paragraph? A. By raising a question. B. By defining a concept. C. By making a comparison. D. By giving examples. 5. Why did Han Zheming commit himself to dian cha? A. To show off his skill in making tea. B. To revive the old ritual in modern life. C. To boost tea sales and increase his income. D. To help his mother promote traditional culture. 6. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The specific process of making dian cha. B. Han Zheming's experience of growing tea. C. The differences between dian cha and other tea ceremonies. D. Application procedures for intangible cultural heritage registration. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. A History of Chinese Tea Sets B. A Tea Art Reborn from History C. The Interesting Procedures for Making Tea D. The Different Tea Culture Through Dynasties C By scanning a QR code at a service station, Li Xinpeng had his parcels delivered by an unmanned vehicle, thanks to the launch of the first rural drone delivery route in Wuhan, Hubei Province. The drone is capable of flying at a speed of 70 kilometers per hour and cruising (巡航) at an altitude of 120 meters. Operated by skilled professionals, the payload hexacopter drone boasts an impressive one-hour flight endurance (耐力) and can carry as many as 300 to 500 parcels at a time. “Sometimes a delivery journey would have taken me over 40 minutes on my motorcycle,” remarked Liu Jianying, a postman from the Xinzhou branch of China Post Group (CPG), adding that drone deliveries are not hindered by traffic jams or other road conditions. “The drones will significantly reduce transport time and enhance the efficiency of parcel distribution,” he said. In collaboration with CPG, the local government in Xinzhou pioneered Wuhan's first rural drone delivery route, which is currently undergoing test flights across three pilot villages. It is predicted to officially launch flight operations in early December, with plans to expand to 13 villages within the region upon the successful completion of the trial phase. Xinzhou district is located in the remote Dabie Mountains, featuring vast mountains and forests. Most of the villages are quite far apart in this area, leading to a dispersed (分散的) population. As online shopping experiences significant growth and the demand for delivery continues to rise, this drone delivery route is expected to become an important supplement. “During the initial stages, the purchase, maintenance and operation costs of drones might be relatively high. But in the long term, as drones become widely used, the unit costs will decrease, effectively addressing issues related to labor shortages and high logistics costs,” Zhang Dawei, a professor from the institute of urban and rural governance at Central China Normal University, was quoted by Hubei Daily as saying. 8. What do we know about the drone? A. It can cruise at an altitude of 300m. B. It can only take off in rural regions. C. It can fly at a speed of 120 km/h. D. It can carry hundreds of parcels at once. 9 What does the underlined word “hindered” mean in paragraph 3? A. Reduced. B. Lost. C. Blocked. D. Misled. 10. Why does the writer mention the location of Xinzhou District? A. To emphasize its national status. B. To advocate regional protection. C. To introduce the natural scenery. D. To explain reasons for using drones. 11. What is the future of drone delivery according to Professor Zhang Dawei? A. Promising. B. Tough. C. Alarming. D. Uncertain. D In the past thirty years, bee numbers in the United Kingdom have fallen by nearly a third. The main reasons are climate change and the loss of natural habitats. These changes make it hard for bees to find enough pollen (花粉) and nectar (花蜜). Pollen is very important because it gives bees proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Without these nutrients, bees cannot stay healthy. Beekeepers sometimes give bees extra food, but these supplements do not have all the nutrients bees need. As a result, the lack of good food has become a serious problem for the survival of honeybees. To solve this problem, scientists led by Professor Geraldine Wright from the University of Oxford worked to design a better food. The challenge was that bees need special nutrients called sterols, which are not easy to make. The team first studied which sterols bees need, and then found a way to produce them. They created a type of yeast (酵母) that can make all six sterols needed by bees. The next step was to prepare the food in a form that bees would accept. Since bees are picky eaters, the team made a soft ‌“cookie-dough” mixture with bee-friendly ingredients. The scientists tested the new food in glasshouses. The results were impressive. Colonies that ate the superfood produced up to fifteen times more young bees than colonies that did not eat it. These young bees also grew into healthy adults. The bees with the new diet lived longer, took better care of their young, and were stronger against diseases. This showed that the superfood could greatly improve bees’ growth and survival. Wright called this new food ‌“a huge breakthrough for the species”. The study has important significance for both bees and people. With this new food, bees will not need to fight so much for wildflowers. This can help bee populations recover and become stronger. Since bees are key pollinators (授粉者) for many crops, protecting them also helps protect human food supplies. If the superfood is used on a larger scale, it could be a big step toward saving bees and supporting global food security. 12. What main problem do UK bees face? A. Lack of food supplements. B. Spreading of serious diseases. C. Shortage of pollen and nectar. D. Decline of activity and strength. 13. How did scientists address the problem? A. By offering special nutrients to bees. B. By testing natural pollen sources. C. By planting diverse wildflowers. D. By changing bees’ living environment. 14. What effect did the superfood bring to bees? A. They became virus-resistant. B. Their colonies reduced in size. C. Their young had longer lives. D. They stopped being picky eaters. 15. What broader value does the study show? A. It promotes scientific progress. B. It strengthens stable food supply. C. It increases sales of flower seeds. D. It quickens world trade in crops. 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 Silk Road was a network of ancient trade routes across Asia to the Mediterranean Sea, a key bridge for East-West cultural and commercial exchanges.

Shell Isle Store, a floating beach-supplies shop, had been torn from its moorings (停泊处) on Shell Island (off Florida’s northern Gulf Coast) by a night storm and floated 3 miles to Panama City. Jordan, a boat repairman, called the store’s owner — his friend Chris Bourque — and offered to bring back the pink one-room shop. He borrowed a motorboat, while Bourque took a less powerful one. They reached the store with Jordan’s friend Tamara Chagnon and Bourque's wife Sarah under clear skies and light wind. But minutes later, their phones rang and they were warned that an unexpected thunderstorm was coming. They dropped a second anchor (锚) as a storm cloud appeared; it was mid-morning, yet the sky behind the cloud was as dark as midnight. Wind jumped from 10 to 50 mph in two minutes, and a full-on storm hit. The anchors proved useless in 85 mph gusts (一阵狂风) and 6-foot waves. Shell Isle Store was on the move again. The two women went inside the store seeking shelter. The two men remained on their respective boats, trying to hold the floating store steady with lines and more anchors. Then came one sudden, destructive gust, and the shop was overturned, trapping the women inside. The only way out was a sliding glass door that had been jammed in the chaos. Chris Bourque climbed onto the broken roof that had partially torn off and cried to his wife and friend inside, “I don’t know how to get you out!” With winds blowing hard, rain pouring down and waves rising high, Jordan jumped off the motorboat into the water a few yards from the damaged store. “He didn’t even think,” Chris recalls. “He just reacted.” 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。 Jordan climbed up and pulled on the sliding door. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ They reached into the store and pulled the women carefully through the door. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2026届“皖南八校”高三第二次大联考 英语 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。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。每段对话读两遍。 1.

I hold a cautious attitude towards building a chemical factory at the foot of the scenic mountain near our school. On one hand, the factory can boost local economy and create jobs, which will improve the living standards of nearby residents. On the other hand, it may pollute the air and water, ruining the beautiful scenery and threatening students’ health. Thus, I hope the government can conduct a thorough environmental assessment and make strict pollution control rules before making the final decision.

He shouted to Chris who was on the boat for help, and Chris quickly threw him a strong rope. The two women inside were so frightened that they kept calling for help. Jordan tied the rope to the door handle and pulled with all his strength, while Chris pulled the other end from the boat. Using all his strength, they pulled the door open just enough to reach inside. They reached into the store and pulled the women carefully through the door. The storm that had been so fierce started to die down, which was a great relief to everyone. Sarah and Tamara thanked Jordan and Chris repeatedly, saying that they would never forget the day when they were saved. Finally, the four of them returned to the shore safely in the motorboat. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
