Love Actually(2003) While this is not a personal favourite of mine,people in the UK absolutely love this film. It has many featuring actors and actresses.It might be a little difficult to follow as there are complex plots,so I recommend watching a.translated version.However.the heart-warming elements of the film make it worth watching.

"Generally,it's been such an incredible year for me,just learning so much."Furphy said."My first year as a professional has been a huge learning experience.After the finals, the new star will go on to play in the NBA's Summer League senes but hopes to manage a trip back to Melbourne,where he's looking forward to spending time with family.friends and his dogs. 24.What is the Indiana Pacers fighting for?

C Raccoons(浣熊)，often called“urash pandas"for searching rubbish bins,are changing as they live closer to humans.A study suggests these masked mammals are even starting to look “culer”,a result of living near us. Scientists examined nearly 20,000 photos.They found urban raccoons have a "clear reduction in snout()length"compared to rural ones:This physical change is like early domestication in pets,suggesting urban raccoons are becoming more comfortable and less fearful around people,adapting to our world Raffaela Lesch,a co-author,explained "urban domestication"often begins with human waste."Trash is really the kick-starter,she said."Wherever humans go,there's trashand animals love our trash.This easy food source draws raccoons into human areas,increasing interaction. Living near humans creates strong pressure.Raccoons less aggressive or afraid are more likely to find food,survive,and reproduce.Their genes for calmer behaviors and shorter snouts are passed on.This is consistent with "domestication syndrome",physical changes like smaller facinl bones,seen when animals adapt to humans.These traits are also seen in pets, like dogs from wolves. 【高二期中考试·英语卷第4页（共8页）】 6314B ▣ 1■ 扫描全能王创建 The study highiights that oniy animnls with "dampened flight responses"-less likely to ran away when[nghtened--thrive(条荣生存)in urban settings(successfully grow,develop, and flourish in city environments).This process is a clear example of naturol sclection.It reminds us that our daily lives and environments can lead to unexpected evolutionary() changes in the animal kingdom,showing the complex human-nature relationship. 28.What does urban raccoons'reduced snout length imply?

C.Ther improved sense of hearing. D.Their calmer.less fearful nature. 31.What can we conclude from this study? A.Masked mammals are adaptable species. B.Human presence drives animal evolution. C Animals will always avoid human contact. D.Urban environments pose risks for wildlife. D For years,we've been teaching a class on music and the mind.At the start of each semester,we've asked the students to complete a survey on their lavorite songs and artists. Students'favorite songs and artists get longer and more varied each year and their playlists barely overlap(重叠). Indeed.listening to music is a deeply private and personal experience nowadays and even more so with the introduction of the iPod and smartphones.When teenagers listen to music vin streaming,artificial intelligence (Al)and social media platforms team up to suggest personalized playlists for them. Some young people feel that Al-generated playlists make them exposed to something dull. Their playiists are populated with songs and artists they've never heard of before,yet they all sound similar.In the past,they might not have noticed such a situation.Their musical consumption was narrowly dominated by the "Top-40"artists.However.Al-generated playiists have changed this,since a wider range of music is available If they think ther Al- infloenced playlists are unappealing,they still have the ability to search for new music.Just because Al can suggest songs,it doesn't prevent them researching and discovering music on their own,or sharng playlists.Anything that exists,they can find.The store is always open. Music listening and preferences play an important role in young people's transition() from childhood to adulthood.two seemingly opposing but vital processes:forming a unique identity,whiie at the same time becoming part of a community.However.Al-generated playiists have the potential to challenge this transition.So does Al make it easier to differentiate the self.but harder to bond with others? Fears of new technologies are commonplace.For example,the decline of scheduled nerwork TV erased lots of common ground for discussion,so will 50 million Americans ever again tune in to watch the series ending of a TV show,as they did for Friend,in 2004? If AI is.indeed.contributing to the transformation of teenagers'shared listening experiences,then Al playlists are more than a convenient way to discover their next favorites, They are a revolution worth paying attention to. 【高二期中考试·英语卷第5页（共8页）】 6314B 32.What makes teenagers'music listening experiences more private? A.The extensive use of clectronic devices.B.The easy accass to musical instruments. C.The lack of interaction among teenagers.D.The popularization of music cducation. 33.What is parograph 3 mainly about concerning Al-generated playiists? A.Their accessibility. B.Their development. C.Their advantages. D.Ther limitations. 34.What challenge may Al-generated playiists present? A.They make identifying oneself impossible. B.They provide less for teens to communicate. C.They result in the decline of network TV. D.They prevent teens choosing similar songs. 35.Why does the author mention Friends in parngraph 5? A.To emphasize its popularity among Americans.

his favorite highlight but his NBA debut()was definitely a 'pinch me'moment-it didn't really feel real sometimes..”,并结合上文Furphy从高中生迅速成为NBA球员的经历可知，Furphy的NBA首秀是让他觉 得难以置信的(Unbelievable)时刻。

55.Bbut表转折，下文“它们往往最能塑造你”强调积极意义，故上文需先承认其消极的方面，challenging(有 挑战性的)符合语境。 语法填空（共10小题：每小题1.5分，满分15分） 56.physicists考查名词复数。“one of-十the十形容词最高级十名词复数”是固定结构，意为“最…的…之 一”。因此，此处应填physicist的复数形式physicists。 57.remarkable考查形容词。此处用形容词remarkable修饰名词contributions,意为“非凡的”。 58.was raised考查动词的时态和语态。主语Yang与动词raise(抚养)之间是被动关系，且事情发生在过去 (1922年出生)，故应用一般过去时的被动语态：was raised。 59.receiving考查非谓语动词。介词“After”后应接名词或动名词形式。动词“receive”与其逻辑主语“he”是主 动关系，故应用其动名词形式receiving。 60.an考查冠词。achievement(成就)是可数名词单数，且在此处首次提及，表示泛指，其发音以元音音素开 头，故应用不定冠词an. 【高二期中考试·英语卷参考答案第2页（共4页）】 6314B 61.won考查动词时态。主语是“The theory”,讲述的是过去发生的具体事件(1957年获奖)，故谓语动词应用 一般过去时won。 62.that考查主语从句。“It is believed that...”是一个固定句型，其中“it”作形式主语，真正的主语是后面的 从句，连接词“that”只起连接作用，无实际词义，且不能省略。 63.innovation考查名词。根据上文of可知，此处用名词形式innovation,意为“创新”，此处为不可数名词。 64.to think考查非谓语动词。encourage sb..to do sth..是固定搭配，意为“鼓励某人做某事”。 65.with/and考查固定搭配。动词combine的固定搭配为“combine A with/andB(将A与B结合起来)”。故 此处应用with/and。 应用文写作（满分15分） 参考范文 Dear Sir/Madam, I'm Li Hua.I'm delighted to learn that volunteer students are wanted for a Chinese painting exhibition to be held in the local art gallery.Now I'm

I'd appreciate it if you could take my application into consideration.Looking forward to your reply! Yours: Li Hua 读后续写（满分25分） 参考范文 I really wanted those sneakers,yet I knew Mrs.Thompson was in a tough spot.Alex kept looking at me with begging eyes.I felt so torn,my mind full of a mix of guilt and longing.The picture of the cool sneakers kept appearing in my head,but so did Mrs.Thompson's sad expression.After what seemed like a really long time of struggling inside myself,I took a deep breath and nodded at Alex.We quickly figured out how much money we could give without using up all our savings. With hearts beating fast,we walked up to Mrs.Thompson with some savings.When we held out the money to her,her eyes opened wide in shock.We told her it was the least we could do and we hoped she could soon go through the hard time.Her thankfulness was really strong,and she gave us both a big hug.In that moment,I realized that the happiness of helping her was much greater than the short-lived excitement of getting those sneakers.The experience taught me that real value isn't in things we own but in the relationships we make and the kindness we show. 附听力材料 (Text 1) W:Well,how about going swimming this afternoon?
