When my friends heard me say that, they were all shocked and confused, because I’m an absolute travel fanatic. It’s not that I dislike traveling itself; rather, I dislike the new definition that modern people have given to it, a fundamentally flawed understanding of tourism. What I hate most during every trip is hearing, “This place is perfect for photos, take a few for me.” It seems our travels have become nothing more than check-ins and photo sessions. Traveling is no longer about admiring scenery, marveling at the magnificent landscapes of our motherland, or experiencing new lifestyles. Instead, I see crowds of people snapping pictures and checking off locations, hardly anyone pausing to genuinely soak in the sights and experiences with their own eyes and hearts. The once poetic journey has transformed into the so-called modern travel trilogy: approach, photograph, leave. The sole purpose of traveling now seems to be posting on social media, showing off to everyone, and immersing oneself in a world constructed solely by one’s own posts. The goal of traveling has shifted to merely visiting check-in spots and completing the task of “checking in”. Travel has changed, and so have many aspects of our lives. We experience too little genuine joy within. I’ve asked my students why they study, and almost all of them answer that it’s to be admitted into a good university, seek a good job, and earn a lot of money. I don’t think these are wrong or even unnecessary aspirations, but where is our inner happiness and peace? When will we be able to travel for the sake of traveling, to learn for the sake of learning, to go shopping for the sake of going shopping and to preserve our authenticity? After all, we are human beings. How many of us are living day-to-day, going through the motions, turning life into a chore, a mere existence? We still have “poetry and distant horizons” to pursue. We must strive for what truly defines us as human, or we risk losing our humanity. 34. Which of the following word can best replace the underlined word “fanatic” in paragraph 1? A. Journalist. B. Psychologist. C. Enthusiast. D. Artist. 35. What is the author’s main reason for hating traveling nowadays? A. The inconvenience of modern transportation. B. The increasing cost of traveling. C. The overcrowding of tourist attractions. D. The shift in people’s perception of traveling. 36. What is the author’s attitude towards the “modern travel trilogy”? A. Favorable. B. Disapproving. C. Indifferent. D. Ambiguous. 37. What does the author imply in the passage? A The author regrets becoming a travel fanatic. B. Modern society has lost touch with genuine experiences. C. Traveling is no longer an enjoyable activity. D. The purpose of traveling has shifted to social media. C Moviegoers around the world are enthusiastic to return to Pandora on Dec.19, as Avatar: Fire and Ash hits theaters. It’s the third movie in the blockbuster franchise, continuing the adventure that began in 2009’s “Avatar” and picking up in the aftermath of 2022’s Avatar: The Way of Water. The original movie is the highest-grossing film of all time, while the sequel earned more than $2 billion worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo. In an interview for 20/20 director James Cameron pulled back the curtain on how Avatar: Fire and Ash brings the series into its most visually and emotionally daring territory yet. Cameron said his goal in creating the series, its blue-skinned Na’vi heroes and their home-world Pandora was to develop an imaginative, immersive universe for audiences. “What we set out to do with ‘Avatar’ is not just tell a good story, but to tell that story in terms that have a lot of impact on the audience,” Cameron said. “We try to create this world and invite you into it and let you live in it.” According to Cameron, he first had the idea for the “Avatar” universe when he was a teenager and dreamt of a bio-luminescent forest. “I was 19,” he said. “I woke up and I sketched it in color. And it had glowing trees and purple moss and these kind of trees that looked like bright fibers.” Avatar: Fire and Ash follows Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) and their Na’vi family as they continue to fight for survival while Pandora faces occupation by humans. They take on a familiar threat in human-turned-Na’vi Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang) and a new enemy in Varang (Oona Chaplin), the deadly leader of a volcano-dwelling Na’vi chief. Cameron told 20/20 that the plot of the movie and the plight of the Sully family intentionally mirrors some of the problems we face through its science fiction lens. “I think it’s important for films to examine real issues, real earthbound issues, and get into that and show the sympathy of the humanity,” he said. “Those of us, I think, that can foster that empathy will be the ones that are the hope of the future.” As the franchise continues to expand into the future, Cameron noted that his passion for the “Avatar” franchise hasn’t faded. “I’m aware of the fact that I’m 71 and I won’t be able to do this indefinitely. And yet I’m still as excited as I ever was creatively,” he said. 38. What does the passage primarily explore about Avatar: Fire and Ash? A. The technical evolution of film production. B. The balance between commercial and artistic aspects. C The relationship between character design and actor performances. D. The creative philosophy and social concerns behind the narrative. 39. What does the passage imply about the origin of the world “Pandora”? A It stemmed from precise market demand analysis. B. It was a product of the director’s personal perception and artistic transformation. C. It originated from systematic integration of existing sci-fi systems. D. It was primarily driven by post-production technology rather than creative ideas. 40. How does Cameron emphasize films should approach real-world issues? A. By using fictional frameworks to evoke empathy and reflection. B. By simplifying them into entertaining genre narratives. C. By presenting them indirectly through subtle symbolism. D. By separating them completely from fantastical elements. 41. What does Cameron’s mention of his creative career reflect about his attitude? A. Anxiety about aging outweighing his creative passion. B. Treating the franchise as a purely commercial project to manage. C. Maintaining a strong creative drive despite temporal limitations. D. A tendency to delegate future works to a new generation of creators. D The news media has been described as a “time machine” because it is deliberately short-sighted. The news media could also be called a “novelty machine” due to its concentration on the new--a novel eruption, chaos, or interruption — that stands out due to its break from the familiar or routine. A random act of violence or a sharp fall in the corporate market share will demand more media space than a chronic issue that does society harm over the long term. “For this reason, society’s biggest problems do not routinely dominate media coverage,” writes Thomas E. Patterson, Bradlee Professor of Government and the Press at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government. Novel stories stimulate interest and curiosity, and news organizations, which operate under the economic urgency of fascinating and remaining a large audience for advertisers, rely on citizens’ “need to know” for survival, otherwise known as click-bait (诱饵). “The latest news abruptly replaces the old....Each day is a fresh start, a new reality. Novelty is emphasized, as is certainty. Journalists must have a story to tell, and it must be a different one than yesterday’s,” Patterson writes in Time and News: The Media’s Limitations as an Instrument of Democracy. Patterson argues that as political parties and representative institutions have weakened, the public increasingly expects the news media to take a pioneering role in setting the public agenda, and organizing public opinion and debate. But the news media are ill-suited to this role, he argues. News stories require a specific event to give the story a sense of immediacy, and policy matters are by their very nature drawn out affairs extending over months or many years. Few news stories manage to get repeat airtime, wiped out by more ‘pressing’ events — producing in the news media a chaotic inconsistency, much like a case of ADHD (多动症), where the immediate or urgent is given preference over sustained thinking. The news has become “an endless stream of emergencies,” argues critic James Fallows. Whereas chronic societal problems tend not to change much from day to day, and therefore barely receive media attention. Perhaps more concerning is the fantasy of ‘reality’ one gets from perusing the news. People feel as though news media gives them an insight into the broader economic and societal picture, but Patterson argues that this sense is largely misguided. He cites a Swedish study by Jorgen Westerstahl and Folke Johansson, which examined the media’s coverage of seven major policy areas, such as crime, the economy, and defence, and found that “in practically no case was there any link between the factual and the reported development”. It explains why economic shocks (property and real estate market crashes) almost catch investors off guard when, in actual fact, crashes are a result of an accumulative piling up of pressure over a period of time. The bigger picture is lost in a sea of ‘right now’ emergencies — the media being less a mirror of a society than a daily composition of the day’s most novel events. 42. The author describes the news media as a “time machine” and a “novelty machine” primarily to highlight which of its features? A. Its economically-driven focus on immediacy and newness. B. Its central role in facilitating democratic processes. C. Its capacity for in-depth analysis of historical trends. D. Its sustained attention and reflection on long-term social problems. 43. According to Patterson, why is the news media poorly suited to the role of setting the public agenda and organizing debate? A. Because it lacks the financial resources necessary for investigative journalism. B. Because its independence is compromised by control from political parties. C. Because its event-driven nature conflicts with the prolonged timeline of policy issues. D. Because public trust in media institutions has been continuously declining. 44. The Swedish study on media coverage of seven major policy areas is cited to illustrate what phenomenon? A. Swedish media demonstrates higher professional standards than other nations. B. There is a widespread disconnect between media reports and factual developments. C. Media reports provide early warnings and predictive analysis for economic crises. D. The public can accurately grasp long-term societal trends through news media. 45. What is the implied meaning of comparing the media to “a daily composition of the day’s most novel events” at the end of the passage? A. The media’s preference for chasing emergencies holds back its reflection of structural realities. B. The media can systematically integrate component to present a complete societal picture. C. The media enhances the appeal of news through artistic presentation. D. The media is replacing traditional art forms as the dominant cultural medium. 阅读表达（每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Whenever I heard strangers singing out loud, whether it was in the supermarket or on the street, I used to think how annoying it was. That was until a few months ago. Recently, my daughter Zoe started her second year of middle school with a new sense of awareness, asking me to fix the “little girl” pattern on her wheel-chair seat. Not wanting her to stand out at school, I spent hours filling in pale yellow stars with a black marker, eager to erase whatever childish signs I could. Shortly after, Zoe got really sick and had to miss 20 days of school. This meant our days were filled with rushing between hospital appointments and meetings with the school, as we tried to make sure she didn’t fall behind on her schoolwork. I felt pulled back to a time when she was little and her sickness was a huge part of her life. Back then, it seemed like Zoe lived in hospitals, as she spent so much time in them. No matter how sick she got, however, she always had a positive attitude. But this was different: Zoe was no longer singing like she normally did. Zoe usually sang all the time, whether she was playing, riding in the car, or just doing her homework. There was no need for a radio in our house; Zoe provided the music for us. Consumed (被折磨) with my motherly worries, it was more concerning to me than her sickness. One day, however, I heard her beautiful voice as I was cooking dinner. I stopped what I was doing and just smiled. “Pure delight,” I thought to myself. Her voice slowly grew stronger, and soon, both the car and the house were filled with her music once more. How had I not noticed her singing had completely stopped, weeks and weeks ago? Now, thankfully, she’s back in school, smiling and singing, and I’m thankful for each and every song she sings. These days, whenever I hear a stranger singing a song to themselves, I don’t get mad. Instead, I smile, as I know that by singing out loud, they’re simply sharing their happiness with the world. 46. How did the author use to feel when she heard strangers singing? (no more than 5 words) 47. What do you think Zoe was like? (no more than 10 words) 48. What does “it” in Paragraph 6 refer to? (no more than 10 words) 49. Why did the author say “There was no need for a radio in our house”? (no more than 15 words) 50. What does singing mean to people, according to the author? (no more than 15 words) 66.写作 （满分15分） 51. 假设你是中学生李华，你的英国朋友Chris在最近的一封邮件中提到，他想改掉每天长时间玩网络游戏的习惯，做更好的自己。请按以下提示写封回信： (1)你也打算改掉的一个习惯(或缺点，不足)； (2)它给你的学习或生活带来的影响； (3)你的计划和决心。 注意： (1)词数不少于 80字； (2)可适当加入细节，使内容充实，行文连贯。 Dear Chris， ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 天津市双菱中学2025-2026学年高二英语12月份统练 第一部分：听力 （共两节，满分15分） 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1分，满分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，你将有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.

Inspired by your plan, I am determined to get rid of my bad habit of staying up late. Without enough sleep, I can’t concentrate on class. As a result, I do poorly in most of my subjects and it’s hard for me to keep up with my classmates. What makes it worse is that insufficient sleep has affected my health. I intend to develop a sleeping habit of going to bed before 11 pm every day. It will be of great benefit to my future study and health. Let’s try our best to improve ourselves together.
