Seven-colored lotus In Ne Zha 2,the seven-colored lotus plays a critical role in reconstructing the bodies of the heroes, Ne Zha and Ao Bing.This concept is inspired by the Boshan censer ()a 2,000-year-old bronze burner housed at the Hebei Museum. Barrier beasts If you've seen both Ne Zha films,you're sure to remember the lovely and charming barrier 高二英语第2页（共8页） beasts-funny creatures that serve as guardians.These creaturcs bear a striking similarity to ancient relics from the Sanxingdui culture. Tianyuan tripod The Tianyuan tripod in the film is a key tool in the Jade Xu Palace.Its design draws inspiration from the bronze tripods used during the Shang and Zhou dynasties.The tripod was a symbol of power and status in ancient China,often used in ceremonies. Jade Xu Palace When Ne Zha travels to the Jade Xu Palace,a group of birds flies in the sky,with two of them landing on the palace roof.This scene is inspired by the famous painting"Ruihe Tu"by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty(Zhao Ji).Emperor Huizong painted this scene on silk,symbolizing his blessing for the country and its people. 21.What inspired the design of the seven-colored lotus in Ne Zha 2? A.The painting Ruihe Tu. B.Sanxingdui cultural relics. C.Bronze tripods in the Shang and Zhou dynasties D.The Boshan censer from the Hebei Museum. 22.What does the tripod represent in ancient China? A.Artistic creativity. B.Power and status. C.Religious beliefs D.Technological progress 23.Where is this passage most likely taken from? A.A book review. B.A history textbook. C.An entertainment magazine. D.A travel guide B Jennifer Keelan was a young girl who had dreams of one day attending college and living a satisfactory life.At age 2,Jennifer was diagnosed with cerebral palsy ()leaving her using a wheelchair.Jennifer was a bright and courageous girl,but when she attempted to attend school with her friends,she was sent to separate classes for students with disabilities,regardless of talent.She found herself unable to attend some school functions,use transit systems and access to government buildings.Jennifer accepted the limitations of her physical life,but not the limitations of the physical world around her. Jennifer became active in campaigning for the Americans with Disabilities Act.She engaged in peaceful protests and,at age 7,was arrested in Montreal,a moment in history that shocked North America At age 8,Jennifer traveled to Washington,D.C.The shy,yet determined little girl caught the attention of the country when she climbed up the Capitol steps.It worked.Jennifer met with Congress, and President George H.W.Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act into law. Jennifer remains an activist today,making sure all people with disabilities are treated fairly and have equal access to public places,schools and businesses.The only barriers that remain are those of view. Jennifer wants all of us to know that physical disabilities are not a barrier to friendship,career opportunities or love.She graduated from Arizona State University with a degree in family and human development.She is now 39 years old and still sharing the message of inclusivity ()For her,like all of us,making a difference begins one step at a time,no matter how hard it is.She remains a lifelong activist for the disability rights movement. 24.What prevented Jennifer studying with her friends?

A.A Girl Managed to Enter the Congress B.A Girl Struggles for the Rights of the Disabled C.A Girl Succeeded in Attending the College D.A Girl Makes a Difference to the Country C Sometimes a stranger can significantly improve our day.A pleasant encounter with someone we don't know,even a nonverbal exchange,can comfort us when no one else is around.It may get us out of our own heads-a proven mood booster-and help broaden our perspective. "People feel more connected when they talk to strangers,like they are part of something bigger," says Gillian Sandstrom,a psychologist and senior lecturer at the University of Essex who studies interactions between strangers. In research studies,Sandstrom has found that people's moods improve after they have a conversation with a stranger-say,a Starbucks barista,a volunteer at a museum,or the person next to them in line.Overall,people report that they are happier on days when they have more interactions with acquaintances they don't know well. And yet most of us resist talking to people we don't know or barely know.We feel upset about the mechanics of the conversation-how to start,maintain,or stop it.We think we will blather on and disclose too much,or not talk enough.We worry we will bore the other person. We're typically wrong.Sandstrom's research shows that people underestimate how much another person will like them when they talk for the first time.In a study in which she asked participants to talk to at least one stranger a day for five days,99 percent said they had found at least one of the exchanges pleasantly surprising,82 percent said they'd learned something from one of the strangers,43 percent had exchanged contact information,and 40 percent had communicated with one of the strangers again. Scientists believe there may be an ancient reason why humans are able to enjoy interacting with strangers.To survive as a species,we need to mate outside our own gene pool,so we may have evolved to have both the social skills and the motivation to be with people who are not in our tribe. You don't even have to talk to complete strangers to reap the benefits.Multiple studies show that people who interact regularly with passing acquaintances or who engage with others through community groups,religious gatherings,or volunteer opportunities have better emotional and physical health and live longer than those who do not. 28.According to the passage,most people are to talk with strangers. A.comfortable B.eager C.unwilling D.disappointed 29.The figures in paragraph 5 are meant to illustrate that A.people underestimate their ability to start a conversation with strangers B.people may disclose too much if they communicate with strangers C.people should leave a good impression while talking with strangers D.people feel better than expected after talking with strangers 高二英语第4页（共8页） 30.According to the passage,which statement are scientists most likely to agree with? A.Our social skills are declining with evolution. B.We enjoy interacting with strangers by nature. C.We prefer to communicate with strangers non-verbally. D.Our motivation to interact with strangers varies across cultures. 31.What conclusion can be drawn from the passage? A.Random interactions can be meaningful. B.Strangers are kinder than we think. C.We should be careful when talking with strangers. D.Interactions with acquaintances may not benefit us. D Plants are not only living things;researchers say they also possess a form of intelligence.New research shows plants like goldenrods(麒a麟草)are“smart enough”to detect other nearby plants without ever making contact.They are also smart enough to adapt to threatening situations,such as herbivores （草食动物)eating them. Some people try to define intelligence as having a central nervous system,where electrical signals pass along messages to other nerves to process information.Plants do not have a brain like humans.Now, the study authors propose a new definition of intelligence.Instead of focusing on signs of electrical signaling in a plant,the team.focused on how that signaling helps a plant process environmental cues.Specifically,the team looked for evidence of problem-solving as a sign of intelligence. Goldenrods were the plants researchers chose to observe in this study.The team previously looked at how goldenrods responded when eaten by pests like the leaf beetle larvae.To protect themselves from being eaten,goldenrods release a chemical that tricks the insect into thinking the plant is damaged and would not make a good meal.The chemical compounds are also picked up by nearby goldenrod plants, allowing them to mount their defenses against the herbivore.While some goldenrods might have some damage,this quick thinking reduces the risk of being completely eaten alive.Instead,goldenrods distribute the damage by tricking the beetle larvae into moving on to another plant. Previous research has shown that neighboring plants that detect goldenrods eaten by herbivores adapt to the situation by growing faster and making more defensive compounds to fight off pests.When there are no neighbors nearby to warn them of a potential threat,the plants do not engage in accelerated growth, and the chemical response they send out is different.Additionally,goldenrods detect chemicals released from pests and use them as cues for a threat that could potentially attack them. 32.Which question must the study authors answer to figure out whether a plant is intelligent? A.Is it able to solve a problem? B.Does it have a nervous system? C.Can it send electrical signals? D.Has it drawn people's attention? 33.How do goldenrods protect themselves from being eaten? A.By growing taller than other plants B.By producing poisonous fruits right away. C.By sending out chemicals to cheat herbivores. D.By turning to the surrounding plants. 34.How is the last paragraph mainly developed? A.By making a conclusion. B.By making a comparison. C.By explaining two professional processes. D.By stating small weaknesses of previous studies. 高二英语第5页（共8页） 35.What can be the best title for the text? A.Some plants might be intelligent B.Approaches to improve the health of plants C.Plants'reactions to artificial elements D.Studies on plants'resistance of illnesses 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 travel to nearly any Chinese city in the summertime,you will see people,mostly men wearing T-shirts,sitting out on the sidewalks on low chairs in the shade,playing a game with large round disks of wood.36 Xiangqi dates back as early as the Warring States period.While experts have different opinions as to who created Xiangqi and how it is linked to Western chess,there is no doubt that by the Tang Dynasty Xiangqi was a popular game in China. 37 And in the 20th century both Sun Yat-sen and Zhou Enlai were big fans of the game. And,though it may look quite a bit different from Western chess,Xiangqi is actually quite similar in what the pieces can do and how the game is played.Like Western chess,the object of the game is to capture the other player's"king".Actually,in Xiangqi he is just a general. 38 Another big difference between Western chess and Xiangqi is that there is a large empty space in the middle of the board,which the elephants cannot cross.39 This space refers to an area in China where Liu Bang and Xiang Yu had a life-or-death war.The war was so influential that"the Chu River and the Han Boundary"has become a metaphor()referring to any boundary between two opposing armies.When the Chinese people today see this name on the board,the battle scenes come to their mind,as though they are surrounded by thick smoke,able to hear the beating of war drums.40. A.Unlike Western chess,the pieces are placed on the intersections of lines,not in squares B.During the Qing Dynasty its popularity grew. C.It is called"the Chu River and the Han Boundary". D.The game is called Xiangqi,a game of ordinary people. E.There are many differences between Xianggi and Western chess F.An intense battle is about to take place on this small chessboard. G.Several sayings related to Xiangqi are in common use in China today. 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最 佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 In a small village nestled at the foot of a towering mountain lived a young woman named Maya.She had always been fascinated by the mountain's 41 beauty.Every day,she would look up at the peak, imagining what it would be like to stand at the top and see the world from that 42 One day,Maya decided that it was time to make her dream a reality.She 43 a small bag with essentials and 44 on her journey.As she climbed,the 45 became steeper and more challenging,but Maya didn't 46 Halfway up the mountain,Maya encountered a group of climbers descending(下来)“Turn back,” they 47."The climb is too difficult,and the weather is 48."For a moment,49 crept into Maya's mind.She felt tired,cold,and unsure if she could continue.

Suddenly,Harry jumped up from his spot on the kitchen floor."Bird!"he shouted,rushing to our courtyard.Sure enough,there was a white dove (seated in a rubber tree.It sat there for a few moments,and then flew away.Strange,I'd never seen one in our neighborhood before. When I dragged myself to the kitchen the next morning,the dove was back.This time it was with a mate carrying sticks."Look,Harry,"I said,pointing to the tree."They're going to make a nest."The doves flew in and out of the courtyard all week,building on top of the rubber tree. Harry could hardly contain his excitement.Every morning,he'd run into the kitchen and take his spot by the sliding glass door,talking to the birds while they worked.His happiness was influential.As much as I was sad,I couldn't help but look forward to the doves'visits too. Then it all went wrong.The courtyard was safe enough for a nest,but the rubber tree's thin leaves were far from stable.One night,a strong wind blew,throwing the doves'nest to the ground.I heard the twigs(细枝)break apart. I surveyed the damage.Nothing.good ever lasted.I wouldn't blame the doves if they never came back.But they returned.And they paid no attention to the pile of sticks that had once been their nest.They started again from the beginning.Again,though,the wind destroyed all their hard work.The next day,and the next,they started again,as if nothing had happened. 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。 paragraph 1: Moved by their perseverance,I decided to build a new nest for the doves.
