From delicate lines to bold brushstrokes, the brush is the medium through which the artist’s emotions and techniques flow onto the paper, creating elegant works of art. The most famous brush, the “Huzhou Brush”, is produced in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province. Ink Traditional Chinese ink comes in solid sticks. To produce liquid ink, one grinds(磨)the inkstick against an inkstone with water. The act of grinding symbolizes patience and dedication highly valued in Chinese culture. High-quality ink, originally black but now available in various colors, is most famously produced in Huizhou, Anhui Province. Paper Chinese paper, especially the ancient rice paper, made from sandalwood bark and rice straw, absorbs ink smoothly without bleeding. The paper serves as a canvas for not only artistic efforts but also documentation, making it a vital component in the preservation of history and culture. “Xuan Paper”, the best paper for writing, is made in Xuanzhou, Anhui Province. Inkstones Inkstones, used for grinding ink, were originally simple pottery tools. Later, they became artistic objects carved from stone that reflect the taste and status of their owners. The choice of inkstone is crucial as it can affect the quality and texture of the ink, further enhancing the artistic expression in calligraphy and painting. The most famous inkstone, “Duan Inkstone”, is produced in Zhaoqing, Guangdong Province. With these treasures, Chinese people created unique styles of calligraphy and painting, establishing a distinctive expression system. Today, they continue to inspire artists worldwide, bridging tradition and modernity. 21. Why is grinding ink considered meaningful in Chinese culture? A. Because it is a difficult process. B. Because it produces ink in various colors. C. Because it requires a high-quality inkstone. D. Because it reflects valued morals in China. 22. What can we learn about the Four Treasures of the Study? A. The brush is made from bark. B. Ink is only produced in Huizhou. C. “Xuan Paper” is the best paper for writing. D. Inkstones were originally carved objects. 23. Which column in a paper might the passage come from? A. Technology. B. Travel. C. Lifestyle. D. Culture. B For over twenty years fried chicken had been my absolute favourite food. I would have it at least three times a week, whether it was from a fast-food joint, a local diner, or even homemade. I planned my outings around places that served delicious fried chicken. There were times when I tried to cut back on it, especially when I started to gain some weight, but I always ended up giving in to it within a few days. This year, a series of events changed my relationship with fried chicken forever. I began experiencing frequent stomachaches and indigestion (消化不良). Doctors couldn’t directly link these problems to fried chicken, but I noticed that every time I ate it, my discomfort worsened. Additionally, I started to realize that the once-mouthwatering smell and taste now left a heavy, greasy (油腻)feeling in my mouth that I couldn’t ignore. One evening, after finishing a large bucket of fried chicken, I felt so sick that I couldn’t sleep well all night. That was the turning point. I decided that enough was enough. Why was it so hard to let go before? Is there really something addictive in fried chicken? While there’s no official “fried chicken addiction” listed in medical books, experts point out factors that could contribute to its allure. Dr. Johnson from a nutrition research centre mentions two key reasons: the high-fat content and the combination of spices. The high-fat content makes the brain release “happy chemicals” (endorphins), making us feel good, while the unique spices excite our taste buds, making us want more. Now, I’m on Day 35 of my “fried-chicken-free” journey. The first week was tough. I had strong cravings (渴望)and even felt a bit down at times. But as the days passed, I started to feel better. My stomach problems became less frequent, and I even noticed that I had more energy. I’m really proud of myself for breaking this long-standing habit. If I can overcome (克服) my love for fried chicken, I believe I can overcome any other challenging habit in my life. 24. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A. Fried chicken was only a small part of the author’s diet. B. The author had a deep and long-lasting love for fried chicken. C. The author never worried about the health risks of eating fried chicken. D. The author successfully reduced the intake of fried chicken several times. 25. What caused the author to give up fried chicken? A. A doctor’s strict order. B. A friend’s advice on a healthier diet. C. A newfound dislike for the smell of chicken. D. Health problems and an unpleasant feeling after eating. 26. What does the underlined word “allure” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Harm. B. Cost. C. Attraction. D. Waste. 27. How does the author feel about giving up fried chicken? A. Uncertain. B. Confused. C. Satisfied. D. Regretful. C Last month, a series of wildfires broke out in southern California, killing dozens of people. The clouds of smoke can even be seen from space. People of many fire-prone (容易起火的) areas as well as those far downwind have grown familiar with the thick, orange smoke. Such smoke can contain an unpredictable chemicals linked with heart and lung diseases and even cancer. Here’s what makes wild-fire smoke so dangerous. When organic matter like trees burns, it releases CO2, water, heat and, depending on the available fuel, various chemicals and particles (颗粒) . Those tiny particles, which float in the air, can include metals, dust and more. If they’re smaller than 2.5 micrometers in diameter (直径), they can get through our body’s natural defenses when breathed in and go deep into the lungs, causing many health problems. Such particles, called PM2.5, is a common pollutant. It’s also created by motor vehicles and industrial plants. But the type present in wildfire smoke can be much more harmful to the human body. When a fire breaks out in an urban area, it destroys homes, offices, cars and other facilities. In other words, more stuff is burned. Paints, metals and more can release many kinds of harmful chemicals. A 2023 study found that the quantity of harmful chemicals released during urban wildfires was more than 1,000 times larger than that in fires happening in woodland areas. What’s worse, over time, the smoke is exposed to sunlight. The radiation can cause a set of reactions that usually result in other pollutants. Then, as smoke containing these chemicals travels and settles over other cities, it can mix with even more local pollution. Research also suggests that those chemicals and particles, both possibly harmful, can combine to make their respective health risks even worse. 28. What is the main topic of the text? A. The causes of wildfires. B. Climate change impact. C. Preventing urban wildfires. D. Health risks of wildfire smoke. 29. Why is PM2.5 from wildfire smoke dangerous? A. It enters the lungs. B. It travels far. C. It’s larger in size. D. It’s only from fires. 30. What’s a key difference between urban and woodland wildfires? A. Urban fires affect more trees. B. Urban fires burn less material. C. Urban fires release more pollutants. D. Urban fires produce less smoke. 31. What will probably happen when wildfire smoke is exposed to sunlight? A. It changes color. B. It becomes harmless. C. It quickly disappears. D. It forms other pollutants. D Traditionally, older people struggle with new tech, but this doesn’t have to be the case. With proper design, even the most hesitant user can unlock its significant benefits. A primary barrier (阻碍) is a lack of understanding of technology and its advantages, along with difficulty in using high-tech tools, such as smart phones or computers. This often causes them to hesitate to adopt new technology. This is a mistake. Older people themselves must decide whether they want to accept new technology or miss out on its advantages. Indeed, technology — particularly through platforms like social media — offers seniors invaluable opportunities: connecting with new friends, staying in touch with old ones and learning new skills. When seniors do adopt technology, the reasons are typically twofold: they’re forced to do so and they want to make their lives easier. Understanding these motivations is important for anyone aiming to encourage tech adoption among older adults. Despite the increasing necessity of technology in modern life, some seniors resist (抵抗), arguing, “I managed before without technology. Why do I need it now?” Furthermore, frustration (沮丧) is common. “It’s not working.” is a complaint co-author Lucia heard many times from her late father, especially when it came to his cell phone, and he used technology well for the most part. Specific issues, such as struggling with tiny keypads or reading small text message fonts (字体), were constant sources of difficulty. Addressing these issues requires better technology design made for seniors. Older users prefer simple and clear web pages. A previous study showed that many seniors like a website to be user-friendly with a simple interface (界面). As the study showed, “A simpler and more uniformly designed Internet would help to break down the psychological barriers faced by older users.” Although the study was conducted years ago, the problem with web design for senior users remains unresolved today, showing the ongoing need for age-friendly technological solutions. 32. Why do older people hesitate to accept new techs? A. They have limited access to digital devices. B. They find hi-tech products challenging to operate. C. They have a negative attitude towards all new technologies. D. They lack the basic knowledge to maintain digital tools. 33. What can we learn from the example of Lucia’s father? A. Seniors can’t understand the text messages they receive. B. Seniors refuse to use the small keypad on their phone. C. Seniors often feel upset when using new technologies. D. Seniors always face the breakdown of smart phones. 34. What might be discussed in the next paragraph? A. Psychological barriers of seniors to adopt new technologies. B. User-friendly solutions for fixing various computer problems. C. Further studies related to seniors’ dissatisfaction with hi-techs. D. Effective ways for web designers to simplify website interfaces. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Bridging the Tech Gap: Designing Senior-Friendly Technology. B. To Say Yes to the Smart Phone: A Beautiful Mistake. C. To Use or Not to Use: A Technological Barrier. D. Unlocking Benefits: Why Seniors Need Technology? 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。 If you struggle to meet new people or join in a conversation at social events, it might be that your body language is sending the message to others to stay away.

But like many middle schoolers, she’ d started to become more cautious and less willing to make mistakes. My husband and I always said to our fearless daughter, “Honey, why not put yourself out there?” Her brother Ben, then 15, looked up from his phone. “Well, you know, you should try out for JV. You definitely won’t make the team if you don’t have a try,” he said. “Are you out of your mind?” Emily asked. “If I take the challenge, what if I fail?” “If you don’t take the challenge, what if you regret?” he responded. We encouraged her to take risks, to own her goals, to learn from failure and to bounce back from disappointment. Finally, she was determined to tell the coach to have a try. The night before JV tryouts, the coach emailed the player and explained the process. Each day, the girls could challenge the person directly above them on the ladder. At the end of the week, the top 12 players would make the team. Emily came downstairs to show me the email, highlighting one data point in particular. “I told you,” she said. “I really am ranked the lowest. Number 25 out of 25 players.” “Look on the bright side.” I said. “You’ve got nowhere to go but up.” The next morning, she seemed a little nervous, and I patted her gently as encouragement. I drove her to the school playground, comforting “Come on, you have the whole week to find the result.” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 When I picked her up that afternoon, she was noticeably calmer. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One week later, Emily, landing at Number 15, was cut from the tryout. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 府谷中学2025年秋高二年级第二次学情调研检测卷 英语 （试卷满分：150分，考试时间：120分钟） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号；回答非选择题时，用0.5mm的黑色字迹签字笔将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，请将答题卡上交。 4. 本卷主要命题范围：选择性必修第一册~选择性必修第二册U2. 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。 例: How much is the shirt?

Just as its name shows, the driverless bus is a bus controlled by a computer system instead of a human driver. The driverless bus has many advantages. First, it can reduce the danger of exposing the driver to tired driving. Thus, it is safer than a normal bus driven by a human. Second, it is more punctual because it is controlled by a computer. Third, the cost of hiring a driver is also saved. In my opinion, with so many advantages, the driverless bus will surely become more popular in the near future. 第二节（满分25分） 【67题答案】 【答案】参考范文 When I picked her up that afternoon, she was noticeably calmer. She said she beat Number 24. “How did you make it?” I asked with curiosity. “I encouraged myself to look on the bright side instead of focusing on the final result.” she poured out her delight with her eyes filled with light and hope. Over the course of the week, she continued to challenge up, Number 22, Number 19... Obviously, the other girls were all technically better, but she spared no efforts to fight for every strike. To our relief, she didn’t give up halfway, but moved forward bravely with the tryout proceeding. One week later, Emily, landing at Number 15, was cut from the tryout. I searched my mind for any possible word to comfort her, but in vain. However, she said with a determined look, “That’s OK. I have push myself out there.” What she really cared about was no longer the result itself but the fighting process. She accomplished more than what she had expected. Number 15, for her, was a sign to show a brand - new herself, overcoming her fear and stepping out of her comfort zone. Emily’s experience, for us, is a reminder: Learn to take risks, have the courage to fail and go down fighting. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $现在是听力试音时间。Hello. international friends club, can I help you?

In fact, the first man made plastic was made over a hundred years ago. IT was discovered both by an englishman and an american in the same year. But IT was the american who first developed IT on a large scale during the eighteen sixties. Everybody was excited by this new material because I was so cheap. Poor workers were able to buy plastic colors. These plastic colors were hard and uncomfortable, but they were easy to wash. The poor workers could clean them every evening with just soap water. Poor mothers who had not been able to afford toys for their children are now able to buy inexpensive ones made of plastic. However, plastic has one serious fault. Some kinds of plastic can catch fire very easily. And when they do, a poisonous gas is produced. What's worse, plastic takes a very long time to break down. So IT causes serious pollution. We now use the term White pollution to refer to plastic pollution. This history of plastic is no longer than you might expect. In fact, the first man made plastic was made over a hundred years ago.
