Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory “I loved it for two reasons. First, it showed a wonderful, loving extended family. I was fascinated by their kitchen setting and the little corner where the boy Charlie slept. Second, inside the chocolate factory was what all children dreamed of. The whole movie transported me from my childhood worries into a fairyland world.” — Margaret McKee Dumbo “For a kid who often felt like he didn’t fit in, and wasn’t good at anything, it was magical to see Dumbo discover his talent and become loved and celebrated.” — Lorraine Cormack “I loved Dumbo as it showed those who are bullied can win if they believe they can.” — Mary Madigan The Never Ending Story “It has to be the most magical movie from my era. The story has everything a young kid can expect: a great story, a mythical flying dog and an interesting ending.” — Aaron Elliott The Sound of Music “When I was young, movies were a treat, with lollies, friends and a canvas seat. There was a special one that I did adore, and many times I’ve gone back for more. The songs, the scenery and the storyline always transport me to another time. It is such a classic that my memories of it are so fantastic.” — Joanne Carter 1. What does “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory” concern? A. An adventurous trip. B. A fantastic world. C. A mysterious friend. D. An unexpected incident. 2. Which movie may appeal to a child lacking confidence? A. Dumbo. B. The Never Ending Story. C. The Sound of Music. D. Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. 3. What does Aaron Elliott think of “The Never Ending Story”? A. It is full of unrealistic things. B. It meets all his expectations. C. It influences people of all ages. D. It is the most meaningful movie. “I’ve never picked the jobs I’ve done in my life,” says Mark Sadler, who spent 20 years working at the London underground. But when he retired, he became a lifeguard. Three years ago, Sadler was giving blood when he felt chest pain. He says, “The doctor asked: ‘Do you drink?’ Yeah, probably too much. ‘Do you smoke?’ Yes. They could see by my size that I ate too much.” Then Sadler stopped smoking and drinking. “I’ve always had to earn as much as I can to provide for my family,” Sadler says. At the underground, he looked after the engineering fleet (工程车队). He worked 10-to 12-hour days, and often returned to visit the tunnels at night. “If I got the call at 1, I’d be on the go at1: 15.” He regards his wife and two daughters as “always the most important thing in my life”, but while he worked, “they were wrapped in clingfilm (保鲜膜)”. He means he could see them, but they were in a separate world. That’s why Sadler made his daughters, by then adults, an offer. “I told them: ‘If you have a child, I will become a full-time grandparent.’” For the past couple of years, he has combined caring for his granddaughter with lifeguarding very well. Being a grandparent, he says, has shown “how much I missed” as a father. Now he is part of a community. “In my old job, I used to say to everyone: ‘Every day you’re learning.’ I feel that even more now that I’ve got to 60. I’m doing something that I chose. I can balance my job with my wife and family. It is everything I want.” 4. What made Sadler change his lifestyle? A. A health problem. B. Pursuit of an ideal job. C. An accident at the underground. D. Financial pressures from his family. 5. What was Sadler’s experience like while working at the underground? A. It offered him flexibility. B. It was physically dangerous. C. It was associated with stress. D. It allowed him to travel the world. 6. Why did Sadler decide to become a full-time grandparent? A. To escape job-related burnout. B. To enjoy his retirement. C. To challenge himself. D. To focus on family. 7. How does Sadler feel about his career shift? A. Regretful. B. Nervous. C. Relieved. D. Satisfied. C Dolphins and parrots are known to address each other by imitating the sounds they hear other members of their species make, but only humans are known to address each other using names they make up. However, this might not be the case. Wild elephants respond to individual names in the same way as humans, according to new research published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution. Intending to find out whether elephants might be using made-up names too, Michael Pardo, a behavioral ecologist at Colorado State University, and his colleagues first identified 469 calls or “rumbles” made by wild African elephants living in Amboseli National Park and Samburu and Buffalo Springs National Reserves in Kenya. Each of the vocalizations (发声) had a known caller and a known receiver, and an algorithm (算法) was used to predict which of these sounds were potential names and which elephant they were likely to describe. Next the researchers played recordings of these “names” to different elephants and found that elephants responded more enthusiastically to their own name than they did to the names of others. When they heard their names, they approached the speaker more quickly and responded more vocally. The findings suggest that elephants have specific vocalizations or names for each other, and that they can recognize these names, even when they occur out of context. Name-calling was more common when animals were communicating over long distances, the authors found, and also when adults were talking to their babies. The young were less likely than adults to use names, suggesting that the ability to design and use names is a skill that takes years to learn. Elephants are intelligent creatures that live in complex social groups. They use sound, sight, scent and touch to communicate with each other, and their calls are known to communicate a rich stream of information, including details about age, sex, emotion and behavioral intention. The ability to design and link a sound with the identity of another animal suggests that elephants have a previously unappreciated depth of cognitive ability—they may be capable of abstract thought. 8. Why are humans mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To bring up the topic. B. To tell readers the ability of humans. C. To provide the background information. D. To prove humans are distinct from some animals. 9. What can be inferred from the elephants’ response to these “names”? A. Elephants are active and enthusiastic animals. B. Elephants react differently when being called. C. Elephants are good at making up their own names. D Elephants can recognize others’ calling their names. 10. What does the author suggest in paragraph 4? A. Young elephants dislike using names. B. Long distance makes it a must to use name-calling. C. Elephants’ ability to use names can improve as they grow. D. People tend to call their children’s names when talking to them. 11. What is the passage mainly about? A. Research showing elephants may have abstract thought ability. B. Research showing wild elephants can use and recognize made-up names. C. Research showing African elephants live in highly complex social groups. D. Research showing dolphins and parrots imitate species’ sounds to communicate. With the development of modern technology, drones are being applied to various fields. Drone light shows are becoming especially popular in the West. By now, if you live on the U. S. East or West Coasts, you’ve probably been troubled by wildfire smoke. The fires are increasing in frequency and intensity as climate change worsens. And fireworks, as you can guess from their name, cause fires—more than you might think. That’s what caused a handful of California towns to quit fireworks and turn to drones last year. Sydney, Australia, known for its massive fireworks display, is considering doing the same due to the risk of wildfires. And fire danger is now top of mind for many U. S. cities as the Independence Day, or the American national day, nears. In addition to reducing the risk of fires, drone light shows present a safer alternative for the folks behind the curtain. Fireworks injured more than 10,000 people last year because they can accidentally erupt while on the ground. Drones won’t. And since light shows are required to keep the ground below the show clear, there’s no risk of a drone falling from the sky into the crowd. Drones are also less disturbing, creating only a light buzzing noise. Fireworks, on the other hand, can burst your eardrum if you’re standing close enough. That’s a nuisance for some families with animals, small children, or other people who are sensitive to noise. But perhaps the biggest reason for the switch to drones is that they’re thought to be more eco-friendly. Apart from starting fires firework smoke leaves behind a trail of harmful chemicals and is considered a pollutant. Drones are also a reusable option, capable of flying potentially hundreds of shows before they even require maintenance. That’s a huge benefit to the environment—and to the companies paying to put on these performances. At the end of the day, though, some cities are likely switching to drones simply because they’re cooler. That’s not to say that fireworks aren’t cool. But drones allow for more creativity, with the ability to synchronize(同步) lights to music and recreate complex images in the sky. Nevertheless, it’s still too early to rush to the conclusion that drones will completely take the place of fireworks in the near future. 12. What are the reasons why some cities give up fireworks? A. They are too expensive. B. They are not cool any more. C. They speed up climate change. D. They may pose fire risks. 13. What method does the author use to demonstrate the advantages of drones in paragraph 3? A. By referring to data from previous studies. B. By analyzing causes and effects. C. By making a comparison. D. By giving a definition. 14. What does the underlined word “nuisance” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Reward. B. Attraction. C. Annoyance. D. Instance. 15. What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows? A. The similarities shared by drones and fireworks. B. The potential challenges drones will face. C. The importance of drones in promoting economy. D. The strong competition from companies in different industries. 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。 How to Build “Zero-waste Cities” To carry out the 2026 Action Plan for Comprehensive Solid Waste Management, building “zero-waste cities” has become a key task, and cracking down on illegal waste dumping (倾倒) is another important task.

When David passed them, he heard the woman yell. “How stupid you are! You’re good at nothing.” David stopped and looked at the little boy. The boy said nothing. He just stood there, looking upset. David was reminded of his English teacher Mrs Brown in middle school. After he entered a middle school, David lacked self-confidence because he was often made fun of by others. He was often told that he was good at nothing, which David behaved. But one day it all changed. One day, in an English writing class, Mrs Brown asked them to read a novel. They were asked to write a new chapter of the novel after they finished reading it. A few days later, David handed in his story. He didn’t give it much thought. But the next day, to his surprise, the comment “well done” from Mrs Brown came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written. When David read that, he almost burst into tears. He never expected to be praised one day. He suddenly gained some self-confidence. That day after he returned home, he wrote a short story and gave it to Mrs Brown the next morning. And again he was praised. David became very interested in writing. He often wrote short stories and asked Mrs Brown to read them improve writing skills. One year later, David joined the school newspaper and became an editor of it. He was no longer that boy who lacked self-confidence. He gained his confidence, and was hopeful about his future. He succeeded in entering a college and kept writing. Several years after graduating from college, he had his first book published. With some more books coming out, he became famous as a writer in his country. And he owed his success to Mrs Brown’s encouragement. Without her encouragement, his life might be very different now. 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。 Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The mother was ashamed when she heard that. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2025-2026学年度第一学期期终高中二年级教学质量测试 英语科试题 本试题共8页，满分130分，考试时间120分钟 说明：1.答题前，考生务必用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上，并用2B铅笔在“考场号”、“座位号”栏内填涂考场号、座位号。 2.选择题每小题选出答案后，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，再选涂其它答案；答案不能答在试题卷上。 3.非选择题必须用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡上各题目指定区域内的相应位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案；不准使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答的答案无效。 4.考生必须保持答题卡整洁，考试结束后，将答题卡交回，试题卷自己保存。 第一部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 【1~3题答案】 【答案】1.

Although AI can bring benefits, I think the disadvantages for students are greater. To begin with, relying too much on AI can lead to laziness and prevent students from developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Another important factor to consider is the fact that using AI tools for homework might promote dishonesty, as students may present AI-generated content as their own work. A final point to consider is that if one depends too much on AI, they may lack confidence in their own abilities. To sum up, one cannot deny the fact that constant use of AI for homework has its disadvantages, so when you think about using AI, you should consider these many factors. Should We Use AI When Doing Homework Is using AI for homework good or bad? There are certainly many disadvantages, but in my opinion, the advantages are much greater. The first advantage of using AI for homework is its efficiency. Al can quickly gather the needed information, which allows students to analyze the data rather than spending hours searching online. Another advantage is that students can better understand the learning difficulties with the help of AI. For example, with AI breaking down the steps of a solution, students will find it easier to grasp the problem. Finally, AI can provide instant feedback to language-related homework. A few seconds are needed for AI to identify and correct the grammar mistakes in a long article. In summary, AI can be a useful tool for homework when used as an aid for learning. 第二节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】范文： Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy. He went to the woman, who immediately recognized him because she had read his books and seen his pictures. David started to chat with her. He told her that what she said to her boy was not appropriate. Then he told her about the encouragement he once got from Mrs. Brown. In the end, he said, “I couldn’t have become a writer if I had believed I was good at nothing.” The mother was ashamed when she heard that. She realized that she shouldn’t have called her son stupid, which would make him lose confidence in himself. So she said, “Thank you for your advice. I’ll never say such things to him again. Instead, I’ll find out what he’s good at and encourage him.” The woman then left with the boy. Looking at the back of the boy, David felt relieved, hoping his action could make a difference to the boy. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
