His trip, part of attending the meeting — the Fourth Dialogue on Exchanges Among Civilizations, became an unforgettable cultural discovery. Beforehand, Woesler had learned Dunhuang’s role as a desert oasis (绿洲), a treasure house of art, and crossroads of Silk Road cultures. Yet seeing it firsthand amazed him. Standing in front of the Mogao Grottoes, he was attracted by the mixed cultures in Cave 285. There, Greek gods Apollo and Diana, Chinese stories about Fuxi and Nyuwa, Indian Buddhist flying figures, and Daoist immortal beings all appear together in frescoes (壁画). “Different traditions come together here to make a 1,000-year-old wonder,” he said, amazed by Dunhuang’s spirit of inclusiveness. Woesler’s journey with Chinese culture began 38 years ago in his hometown of Münster, Germany, when a Chinese poem at a poetry reading awakened his curiosity. He devoted himself to narrowing the cultural gap between China and Germany. Then he studied at Peking University and spent over thirty years in China. As a translator and educator, he launched workshops to promote Chinese literature in Germany, aiming to solve the imbalance in cultural translation — where far fewer Chinese works reach German readers compared to foreign ones in Chinese. Dunhuang’s experience also inspired his thoughts on digital-age dialogue. He believes technologies like digital protection and virtual (虚拟的) exhibitions can make ancient treasures accessible, helping people welcome differences with openness. “We can achieve win-win progress only by learning from each other,” he notes, stressing how Dunhuang’s age-old wisdom holds the key to modern global harmony. As his trip ended, Woesler carried away more than memories — he got renewed confidence in the power of civilizational dialogue. “Dunhuang is not just a place; it’s a lesson in how diversity can create something timeless,” he concludes, hoping its spirit will guide modern efforts to build a more connected world. 21. Why did Woesler visit Dunhuang? A. To explore the ancient Silk Road. B. To take part in a cultural exchange activity. C. To study the role of Dunhuang as a desert oasis. D. To launch cultural workshops on Chinese literature. 22. What impressed Woesler in Cave 285? A. The mystery of Chinese stories. B. The larger collection of foreign artworks. C. The peaceful coexistence of diverse cultures. D. The advanced digital protection technologies applied. 23. What did Woesler do to bridge China-German cultural divides? A. He translated German literature into Chinese. B. He promoted Chinese literature in Germany. C. He set up art workshops in Peking University. D. He teamed with educators to explore Chinese culture. 24. What can be the best title for the text? A. The History of the Silk Road Art Treasures B. Digital Technology: Renewing Ancient Dunhuang C. A Journey to Dunhuang: Discovering Cultural Mix D. Martin Woesler’s Lifelong Study of Chinese Culture B The festive season is upon us and Australians are turning to technology to make their Christmas shopping easier. A new study shows that nearly one-third of Australian shoppers are more open to using AI chatbots this year than last. Interestingly, this trend is not limited to younger generations; Australians aged 55 and over are also increasingly willing to use chatbots to find deals and simplify their Christmas shopping. AI chatbots are changing how we shop. From giving detailed gift recommendations to answering product questions in real time, chatbots are a powerful tool in the modern retail (零售) landscape. However, this rapid technological adoption raises concerns among many Australians, who fear the loss of personalized service and human communication in shopping. The key lies in using AI to make human service better, not replace it. By automating routine tasks like answering easy and repeat questions, workers are freed to deal with harder problems and talk with customers in a real way. Retailers must balance innovation with caring about people. Investing in both AI tools and high-quality human service is important to meet modern expectations. Studies show half of consumers now pick brands with excellent service, showing that service quality remains a decisive factor. As Australians welcome AI this Christmas, the message is clear: Technology is not the enemy of personalisation. Instead, it’s a tool that, when used thoughtfully, can make holiday shopping less stressful and more cheerful for everyone. 25. What does the new study find? A. More shoppers now like using chatbots. B. Old people like AI more than young people. C. Older Australians have difficulty using chatbots. D. More young people are shopping this year than last. 26. What is a concern among many Australians about chatbots? A. The high cost of using them. B. The replacement of their jobs. C. The drop of product quality. D. The loss of human touch. 27. How can retailers meet modern customers’ expectations according to the text? A. By using less AI. B. By speeding up response time. C. By centering on product design. D. By pairing AI with service teams. 28. What is the author’s attitude towards using AI in shopping? A. Uncaring. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. C Poet and Harvard Professor Henry Wadsworth Longfellow famously said, “Music is the universal language of mankind.” A new Harvard study suggests he may have been right. The study conducted by a research team found that people around the world could identify lullabies (摇篮曲), dance songs, and comforting songs — regardless of the songs’ cultural origin — after hearing just a 14-second clip. The finding suggests that not only is music deeply rooted in human nature, but that some types of songs break cultural boundaries. The findings are based on a wide-reaching experiment in which 750 online participants in 60 countries listened to brief clips of songs collected from nearly 90 small societies around the world, including hunter-gatherers and some special farmers. Participants then answered six questions, rating each clip according to whether they believed the song was used for dancing, calming a baby, treating illness, or expressing love. Two additional uses — mourning (哀悼) the dead and telling a story — were included as controls. The data showed that despite participants’ unfamiliarity with the cultures, the random sampling of each song, and the short duration of the samples, people were able to reliably infer the songs’ functions, and that their ratings were consistent across the world. The findings ran counter to expert expectations. The team had also asked professionals, including performers, composers, psychologists, and scientists about whether they believed people would be able to identify the song types. Their answer was no. And not only that, but they predicted that people’s responses will be inconsistent with one another. “That’s not what we found,” the researchers said. The researchers also wanted to know whether listeners were recognizing certain non-musical characteristics of the songs. To test that, the team conducted a second study. This time, they asked listeners about a number of contextual and musical characteristics, varying from the gender of the singers to the rhythm of the song. When data from the two studies were combined, the results showed that songs of the same function shared similar characteristics — lullabies, for example, tended to be slower and simpler than dance music — suggesting that something about musical characteristics crosses cultural boundaries. 29. What did the participants do in the first study? A. They distinguished functions of the songs. B. They identified the cultural origins of the songs. C. They recognized the non-musical characteristics of the songs. D. They sorted the songs according to the gender of the singers. 30. What does the underlined part “ran counter to” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. were equal to. B. were similar to. C. were superior to. D. were opposite to. 31. Why did the researchers carry out the second study? A. To test the musical knowledge of a wider audience. B. To collect more diverse songs from various cultures. C. To confirm the surprising results from the first one. D. To explore the underlying reasons behind the findings. 32. What can we learn from the two studies? A. Listeners recognize music by its rhythm. B. Something about music might be universal. C. Dance music is usually slower and simpler. D. Cultural similarities lead to similar musical characteristics. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10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。 A friendship doesn’t begin with the hope that it will end. We invest time and energy, not believing that our efforts could eventually be fruitless. 33 When things said or done cause a breakdown in trust or closeness, you can reconnect with a friend you’ve grown apart from by starting a conversation. 34 So take time to reflect on what exactly happened between you and your friend. When knowing what went wrong in the relationship, you are often better equipped with an understanding of what you could say to make things right again. If you and your friend need to have a serious heart-to-heart conversation, it’s a good idea to select the right time and place to talk. Choose a time when you both have some open availability. Don’t try to jam in a heavy conversation in a half-hour lunch break on a workday. 35 A public place is generally not the best place to have a serious and emotional conversation with a friend. There may be moments in the conversation when you feel yourself tense up, want to shut down or explode in anger. 36 Otherwise, they can become roadblocks that make it impossible to have a productive conversation. When feeling like interrupting or talking over your friend, take a deep breath and keep calm. Friendships take time to rebuild especially if trust has been broken. Don’t expect things to go right back to normal once you and your friend talk through things. 37 A. Also, find a setting that’s private. B. You can’t fix a problem you don’t make out. C. However, friendships aren’t always forever. D. Try to notice these urges without acting on them. E. Whatever the reason, don’t hesitate to take action. F. Instead, go slowly and gradually reestablish closeness. G. You both have a say on how to strengthen bonds with the other. 第三部分 英语知识运用（满分15分） 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When it came time to put new clothes in the closets (衣柜), there were too many old clothes from past years still in them.

Sometimes, I would become very confused. Math problems that seemed to be impossible to solve, puzzling grammar in English, and difficult historical events all made me feel at a loss. I didn’t know where to start or how to improve. Moreover, the fierce competition among classmates also added to my anxiety. Seeing others doing well, I couldn’t help but question myself, wondering if I was working hard enough. This sense of uncertainty made me doubt my abilities and future. I was losing patience and drive. One sunny day, as I was sitting in the classroom feeling a bit bored, my teacher came in and announced that we would have a special project — to plant a tree in the schoolyard. I was excited at the thought of getting outside and doing something different. I went outside and started digging the hole for the tree. I worked hard, feeling the dirt on my hands and the sweat on my forehead. As I was working, a classmate, Mary, came over and said, “Hey, you’re really putting a lot of effort into this!” I smiled and replied, “Yeah, I want this tree to grow strong. It feels like we’re doing something meaningful.” Mary nodded in agreement. “Definitely. And it’s amazing to think about how we’re all part of this process of growth.” As the weeks passed, I would visit the tree often, observing the little tree as it faced many challenges, including harsh weather and strong winds. But each time, it overcame them and continued to grow taller and stronger, providing shade and shelter for us. Its journey in the wind and rain was a test of its perseverance (坚持) and growth. It made me wonder whether I could be like the tree, growing and changing. 注意事项： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 One day, as I stood by a tree lost in thought, my teacher approached me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Reflecting on it now, I realize this conversation was a turning point in my life. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 宝鸡中学 2025 级高一第二学期期中考试英语 参考答案 第一部分 听力（30 分） 1.C 2.

She gently asked what I was thinking about. I told her I felt worried about my studies and doubted myself. She smiled and pointed at the tree, saying that growth takes time and difficulties are just like wind and rain—they make us stronger. She told me to keep trying and be patient with progress. Reflecting on it now, I realize this conversation was a turning point in my life. I stopped being anxious and began to face challenges calmly. Just like the tree, I kept growing little by little. I learned that perseverance beats perfection and that every effort pays off. This lesson has encouraged me to move forward bravely in my study and life. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
