Released nationwide on July 1, 1921 tightly narrates a historical event, where the Communist Party of China held its first National Congress in Shanghai and Jiaxing, Zhejiang province, in the summer of 1921. As an attempt to seek a breakthrough, the patriotic (爱国的) tale creatively uses several different perspectives (视角) to retell the historical moments of CPC’s first national congress. Shanhe Suiyue. The 100-episode documentary Shanhe Suiyue serves as a reminder of the sacrifices and struggles of the Chinese people on the revolutionary path to glory. With a total length of more than 41 hours, it is the largest documentary production on the Chinese revolution, which selects 100 key scenes, highlight moments and typical characters, narrating 100 vivid stories. The Age of Awakening. The 43-episode TV series The Age of Awakening narrates how Chinese intellectuals (知识分子) and young people in the early 1900s, including key CPC founders Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao, tried hard to save a nation with corruption, foreign aggression, and other problems, to form a communist party against all odds. The Battle at Lake Changjin. Set during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-1953), the film centers on a heroic company of the Chinese People’s Volunteers (CPV) army. By Nov 24, its overall box office has reached 5.69 billion yuan, replacing Wolf Warrior 2 at the top of China’s all-time box office charts. 1. What can audiences see in 1921? A. CPC’s first national congress. B. People’s struggle in the early 1900s. C. The same perspective of historical moments. D. The national Congress held only in Shanghai. 2. What is special about Shanhe Suiyue? A. It shows how communist party was formed. B. It selects 100 stories of Chinese intellectuals. C. It has 43-episode series and a length of 41 hours. D. It is the largest documentary on the Chinese revolution. 3. Which production wins the champion of box office? A. Shanhe Suiyue. B. The Age of Awakening. C. Wolf Warrior 2. D. The Battle at Lake Changjin. B My wife always wanted a Vizsla, so when we got the house, the garden and everything sorted, we did some research and found a lovely breeder (饲养员) based in Scotland. He was in charge of everything, so a few months go by and the next thing I know, we’ve got a puppy! I’ve grown up with animals all my life, and I’m so glad I have. I love the fact that I was never afraid of any animals. Although you do obviously have to be careful when introducing children to a dog they don’t know, because you don’t know how it’s going to behave, it always saddens me when I see children scared when they walk past Pedro. I think it’s great for kids to learn how to look after an animal. And obviously for us, as a family, it’s brilliant because we take Pedro for so many walks. It’s a bit of a family bonding experience getting out in the fresh air; taking Pedro for a walk multiple times a day is just really lovely. Meanwhile, the most rewarding, I think, is just seeing how amazing he is with the kids. He is so calm, so protective, so loving, and we are his world. I think the most challenging aspects with Pedro were when he was a puppy (小狗). He was pretty hard work. He was never aggressive, but he was quite bitey as puppies are, constantly pulling out your clothes and putting holes in them, which is very annoying. He chewed the furniture-my sofas are barely standing up; their wooden legs are almost in pieces. Obviously, the dog training in the house was quite stressful and his jumping at strangers in the park and running off was always quite scary. As a new puppy owner you’re overloaded with advice from social media, magazines, other dog owners and friends, so finding a source of information you trust is so important and can be a real turning point. I know what it’s like to be bombarded with conflicting information, so I would have really welcomed Royal Canin’s “One in a Billion” platform as a new puppy owner. It’s a one-stop shop for new dog owners: a single source of credible information that is so helpful in navigating the early stages of your puppy’s life. 4. What do we know about the author? A. He is inexperienced in raising pets. B He is unsupportive of his wife’s desire. C. He feels it a pity that children shy away from pets. D. He thinks one should be cautious about raising pets. 5. What does the author think of Pedro? A. Dangerous but loyal. B. Playful and gentle. C. Adorable but troublesome. D. Annoying and fierce. 6. What can we infer according to paragraph 4? A. Dogs are man’s best friends. B. It is worthless to have a dog. C. Puppies are unfriendly to humans. D. It is challenging to train a puppy. 7. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To recommend a reliable platform. B. To share a fun experience. C. To offer evidence for an argument. D. To advertise a practical product. C We have more ways to access music than at any time in history and a whole world of unfamiliar styles to explore. The thrill of discovering new songs and new sounds can enrich people of all ages. Except, most of the time, it doesn’t. Our willingness to explore new, unfamiliar music declines with age. Academics have coined the term “open-earedness” to describe this phenomenon. Until around the age of 11, children are generally happy to engage with unfamiliar music. Early adolescence sees a reduction in open-earedness, but is accompanied by an intense increase in interest in music more generally. Open-earedness increases slightly during young adulthood, and then declines as we age. A major study involving more than 250,000 participants confirmed these changing behaviors. It also showed that the significance we give to music after adolescence declines, and the amount of music we listen to reduces from a high point of 20% of our waking time during adolescence, to 13% in adulthood. Researchers have different theories to account for these trends. One explanation for age-based reduction in music consumption simply assumes that responsibility-burdened adults may have less free time at their disposal (自由支配) to explore their musical interests than younger people. Some interpret the observed decline in music engagement in terms of psychosocial maturation. Adolescents use music as an identity marker and engage with it to navigate social circles. Adults have developed personalities and established social groups. As such, drivers to engage with new music are lessened. Some researchers argue that we shouldn’t use a person’s age to predict if their musical taste will stay the same, without first thinking about how we enjoy and use music at different stages of our lives. Teenagers tend to be very aware of what they are listening to. Adults who use music as motivation or accompaniment for activities such as exercise or household chores may be less conscious of the extent to which they actually do listen to new music. 8. What does the term “open-earedness” refer to in the passage? A. The ability to play music. B. The willingness to explore new music. C. The interest in music during adolescence. D. The significance of music in daily life. 9. According to the study, how does the amount of music listened to change as we age? A. It remains consistent throughout life. B. It increases from childhood to adulthood. C. It peaks during adolescence and then decreases. D It gradually declines from childhood to adulthood. 10 What factor is suggested as one cause for a reduced interest in new music as people age? A. An increase in hearing sharpness. B. Less spare time due to responsibilities. C. An intense decrease in interest in music. D. Changes in personality and social groups. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Music Consumption: A Lifelong Journey. B. Factors Influencing Music Engagement in Adults. C. Adolescents and Music: Identity and Exploration. D. Decline of Open-Earedness: Age Affects Music Exploration. D There are functioning steam railways in other countries: tourists in France can go for a ride in Brittany; so can visitors travelling to the Dandenong Ranges in Australia. But no other country has a heritage railway sector anywhere near as energetic as the UK’s, where more than 170 services cross around 600 miles of track and call at 460 stations. Just a few years after the first of these railways opened at Talyllyn in north Wales, in1951, a fictional Welsh steam engine became the main character in the children’s television serial Ivor the Engine. On lines originally built for slate quarries (石板采石场), north Wales still has the biggest group of steam railways, but they exist in all four nations of the UK, typically operating seasonal timetables in tourist areas. These railways are living museums with stations decorated in period style. Some staff wear costumes too. Up to 95% of the 18. 5m journeys on heritage railways each year are taken by domestic tourists. They owe their popularity to a combination of nostalgia (怀旧), enjoyment of the countryside and enthusiasm for the old engines. Railways are expensive to run, and the first steam preservation enthusiasts recognised that they would need volunteers to make their dream of a revival come true. This reliance on volunteers is partly due to cuts in budgets from local authorities and other funders. But heritage railways are a good example of what can be achieved by a combined paid and voluntary workforce. As well as the economic contribution that the railways make to rural areas, there is evidence that volunteering can have beneficial effects on people as well. The railways will need to respond, like the rest of the society, to environmental policies. The destructive impact of greenhouse gases is an obvious challenge to a sector that trades on an image of coal-powered transport. Electric railway engines are being used for maintenance, to bring emissions down, and some railways are active in wildlife conservation. There will need to be further adaptation down the line. That the railways don’t stand still has always been part of their appeal especially on rainy days in the summer holidays. 12. How are the UK’s steam railways different from other countries'? A. They are active across the countries. B. They serve as tourist attractions. C. They are mainly powered by steam. D. They use small amounts of energy. 13. Why does the author mention Ivor the Engine? A. To spread knowledge of the classic serial. B. To introduce the origin of steam engines. C. To show the popularity of steam railways. D. To share a childhood memory of travelling. 14. What can we infer from paragraph 4? A. Volunteers help to keep heritage railways alive. B. Economic growth depends on individual efforts. C. People can’t afford to travel by heritage railway. D. Local officials don’t use old means of transport. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards heritage railways? A. Indifferent. B. Doubtful. C. Appreciative. D. Negative. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读短文，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。 Many students want to learn a foreign language well, but what must they do?

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. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 江永三中2025年下学期高二年级期中考试 英语试卷 总分：150分 时间：120分钟 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用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，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 该部分分为第一、第二两节。注意，做题时，请先将答案画在试卷上，该部分录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。 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.

Yours, Li Hua 第二节 读后续写 (满分25分) 【47题答案】 【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. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
