While you must be excited about your new life here, it's only natural to feel a little overwhelmed by cultural differences. Many exchange students go through the exact same thing. If you ever feel awkward or confused because of cultural gaps, don't hesitate to open up about your true feelings. This will help others understand you better and ease your discomfort. You may also consider exploring the city center with friends on weekends. Taste local food or strike up conversations with locals. Most of them are warm-hearted and willing to answer your questions or listen to your stories. I believe you will gradually get used to the new environment. If you ever need support, just write to me. All the best, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） Paul looked up from his phone. He gave a start, but soon he calmed down. “Just a quick message,” he said with a casual shrug, as if testing how far he could go. A few students turned in their seats, sensing what might follow. I met his eyes and smiled, not unkindly. “Then you remember what we agreed on.” A ripple of laughter spread across the room. “Go on, Paul!” someone urged, and others joined in, their voices light but insistent. He hesitated for a moment, clearly weighing his options, but there was no graceful way out. Blushing, Paul dialed the number, hit the speaker button almost defensively, and set the phone down on his desk. Mr. Davis's voice came through on speakerphone, sounding quite surprised. “Aren't you supposed to be in class?” Embarrassed, Paul replied, “Yes, but I'm just calling to say I love you.” There was a brief silence before Mr. Davis continued, “I hope this isn't a joke... or is it a punishment?” The whole class erupted in laughter. Paul let out an awkward chuckle and quickly ended the call. For the rest of the period, every time I glanced at him I could see I had his full attention — and everyone else's, too. My approach had paid off, and I had a feeling that Mr. Davis would love it, too. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $这是2025学年第二学期杭州市高二年级教学质量检测英语科听力测试第一节。听下面五段录音，每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段录音播放两遍。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。Guess what?

This project works with organisations across the UK to help share masterpieces from the nation’s collection with communities beyond Trafalgar Square. It will be reaching all four nations of the UK, travelling to a total of 12 partners. The National Gallery offers up to 30 printed reproductions of masterpieces from its collection each time. The first exhibition started in Stoke-on-Trent on 4 June 2025. Fifteen printed masterpieces were installed in an outdoor exhibition in Bethesda Gardens, opposite The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery, as part of the city’s Centenary celebrations. Right now the free outdoor exhibition is running in Croydon, London. In each location, the local community has helped choose the paintings to be displayed. Croydon’s exhibition features 30 paintings. Caterina Loriggio, who works on cultural events in Croydon, said that they ran workshops with residents to choose the artworks. The workshops asked questions such as “Which painting reminds you of Croydon?”, and residents chose from different paintings for their answer. Loriggio said, “What was interesting was how many people chose the same things.” Every year, the National Gallery partners with organisations and audiences across the UK in a range of different and innovative ways. They want to ensure that everyone in the UK can engage with their national collection. Over the past years they have partnered with a number of organisations through a range of projects including their flagship Masterpiece Tour, contemporary Artist-in-Residence programme, National Treasures, Visits tour and Take One Picture programme. 21. Why did The National Gallery start the project? A. To inspire innovation. B. To seek potential partners. C. To build community pride. D. To popularize its collection. 22. How were the paintings for Croydon selected? A. By the painters. B. Through online voting. C. By art professionals. D. Through local workshops. 23. Where is this text most probably taken from? A. A museum newsletter. B. A travel handbook. C. An art research paper. D. A community notice. B Woodpeckers (啄木鸟) hopped into my life in an unexpected place. As a young boy of eight or nine, I peered impatiently through the kitchen window into the backyard, waiting for the rain to stop so I might escape my tame suburban home to a wilder place where I could watch more than American Robins (知更鸟). Suddenly, a bird caught my attention. As it bounced closer, the bright red mustache, and veins of orange on the tail and wings revealed it was a male woodpecker! With what seemed like an explosion of red feathers, he was gone. From that moment on, I read everything I could about woodpeckers. Instantly I became a woodpecker enthusiast. Since that day, the call of the woodpecker has led me on many journeys from my backyard to distant continents and inspired me to rise before the sun so that their syncopated (切分节奏的) drumming might allow me to find them, follow them, and learn about their mysterious lives before they disappear back into the trees. My fascination has only grown over the years as I noticed that no matter where I was in North America, as long as there were large trees and surrounding natural landscape, there was at least one species of woodpecker to trigger my wonder at the richness around me and the woodpecker’s role in enhancing it. My book Woodpecker contains an exploration of the lives of the forty-one species of woodpeckers in North America. In telling the stories of these woodpeckers, I focus my lens, narrative, and anecdotes on the species and behaviors that are most representative, while also highlighting interesting exceptions and contrasts. I hope that by sharing intimate images and stories from the more secreted moments of their life histories, I can motivate people to better appreciate their critical role in enhancing our natural world and perhaps inspire the long-term protection of these birds and the habitats that they rely upon. 24. What do we know about the author from paragraph 1? A. He was bored of bird-watching. B. He hated leaving his suburban home. C. He longed to see more varied wildlife. D. He loved American Robins very much. 25. The author’s fascination with woodpeckers began with ______. A. his determination to make a change B. a single, unexpected childhood sighting C. some research on their beautiful feathers D. books that introduced him to woodpeckers 26. Why has the author’s love for woodpeckers grown? A. They lead him to many different places. B. Their distinctive sounds have amazed him. C. They enable him to uncover the world’s mysteries. D. Their widespread presence helps him see nature’s richness. 27. What is the key strength of the author’s book? A. It centers on rare woodpecker species. B. It covers all woodpecker species in detail. C. It reveals the threats to woodpeckers’ survival. D. It features typical species and interesting exceptions. C According to YouGov, 88% of Americans have positive feelings about French fries. In short: People love them. However, this delicious side dish is also clearly not-so-great for you. But hold on, fry lovers — researchers may have found a potential solution. Instead of asking people to give up fries altogether, some scientists are exploring whether the way they’re cooked could make a meaningful difference. In 2025, researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign published their findings on creating a better-for-you French fry, using a technique called “microwave frying”. It helps to first understand what happens to fries when they’re prepared the traditional way. As the potato heats up, the water inside it begins to evaporate (蒸发). This, however, leaves behind tiny pockets, which then create a force pulling the oil inside. Think about a straw in a drink. If you suck on the straw, the liquid moves upward. Now, imagine food materials have lots of tiny straws. When there is positive pressure, the oil stays out. But if there is negative pressure, the oil starts moving in. As much as 90% of the frying process occurs under this negative pressure. But microwaving may be able to assist in this particular part of the process. When we heat something in a conventional oven, the heat moves from outside to inside. But a microwave oven heats from the inside out. The higher pressure in microwaves helps reduce oil penetration (渗透). But microwaving alone won’t cook the fries the way we know and love. “If you just use microwave frying, your food turns out too soft.” Takhar said. “To obtain crispiness (松脆), you need conventional heating. Therefore, we propose combining the two approaches in the same unit. Conventional heating maintains the crispiness, while microwave heating lowers the oil intake.” The best news is that restaurants may not need new equipment. Existing large commercial fryers can be upgraded with affordable, widely available microwave generators. 28. What are scientists trying to improve about fries? A. Their taste. B. Their kitchen popularity. C. Their health effects. D. Their cooking equipment. 29. Which is the correct order of the traditional frying process? ① Oil entry. ② Water loss. ③ Negative pressure. ④ Pocket formation. A. ① → ③ → ② → ④ B. ② → ④ → ③ → ① C. ② → ① → ④ → ③ D. ③ → ④ → ② → ① 30. How do microwaves reduce oil intake? A. By increasing pressure. B. By drying water faster. C. By creating holes within. D. By heating from outside in. 31. What can be inferred about the new method? A. It is a two-in-one method. B. It remains hard to test. C. It needs costly equipment. D. It has been widely used. D Slop is a new way to describe mass-produced, low-quality content. The term comes from artificial intelligence. Developer Simon Willison shared the concept: “Not all AI-generated content is slop. But if it’s mindlessly generated and forced upon someone who didn’t ask for it, slop is the perfect term.” Today slop’s critical tone is increasingly aimed at all things AI, treating it as a cultural pollutant. But by unthinkingly dismissing all of it, we risk missing out on the minority of creations that are keepers. Mass-produced culture has a long, messy history. One notable slop moment came after Johannes Gutenberg invented the movable-type printing press in Europe. The device — the ChatGPT of the 1450s — allowed the mass production of cheap printed material. Some of this material was nonsense, but much of it entertained and educated the masses. In the early 1700s, a growing reading public created steady demand for text, giving rise to Grub Street — the slop generator of its time. People laughed at Grub Street even as its writers built the first modern freelance (自由职业) economy and mass-print culture. The 20th-century cinema boom followed a similar pattern. Production demands produced a lot of rubbish, but this effort also developed the motion-picture industry’s foundation. In all of these situations, the point wasn’t to create masterpieces; it was to create rapidly and cheaply. But the production of new types of slop allows more people to participate. The current wave of AI-generated slop raises the risks because the cost for those making slop has collapsed to near zero, while the cost for other people is high in terms of cognitive burden. So we must identify and take advantage of what stands out so that we can better discourage what doesn’t. The word “slop” helps us do that when it is used correctly. Calling everything worthless is a misguided attempt to dam the flood rather than channel it. If “culture is ordinary,” then the ordinary act of making on a large scale will always include waste. But it’ll also produce the seeds of the next thing we’ll decide to keep. 32. According to paragraph 1, which of the following is an example of “slop”? A. A novel written by ChatGPT upon request. B. A historical essay printed by a modern publisher. C. A low-budget film made by a famous filmmaker. D. An AI-generated poem that pops up on your phone. 33. What do the examples in paragraph 2 illustrate? A. History is sometimes unreliable. B. Mass culture received wide criticism. C. Mass culture has long been a complex issue. D. Technological advances underwent a difficult process. 34. What has fueled today’s slop boom? A. Lower production costs. B. Better digital access. C. Faster information flow. D. Public demand for AI. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Slop in AI: A Growing Problem B. Mass Production: Past and Future C. Slop in History: An Art Phenomenon D. The Slop Cycle: Trash or Treasure 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。 Touching movies, stressful events at home or work, and even good news like a wedding or a baby might bring on the waterworks. 36 But you might not know that crying can have a big effect on your body and mind — here’s how. ● Crying relieves stress. Humans are the only species to weep from emotions, but scientists still don’t know exactly how the physical act of crying is connected to our feelings. 37 Maybe it helps relieve the physical tension of feeling upset. In other words, crying occurs as our body returns from an aroused “fight or flight” state to a calm “rest and digest” state. ● 38 You might think that crying would make you feel better if it means your stress is relieved — it does, sometimes. “In surveys about two-thirds of people generally report feeling better after crying,” says Jonathan Rottenberg, a professor at the University of South Florida. In many cases, however, the better mood after having cried is the consequence of receiving emotional support and comfort. ● Crying strengthens bonds. When we communicate with others through tears, we are revealing our own vulnerability (脆弱). “With supportive people, it can create an increased feeling of bonding and connection,” Dr. Orloff says. “You trust the person enough to cry around them.” 39 And this can promote an empathetic response and an emotional connection. ● Crying helps us get what we want. Tears can be a way to cause a specific reaction that works in our favor. 40 Even if we don’t mean to control others, our crying may have the result of easing anger and making others feel guilty or more willing to bend to our will. A. Crying boosts mood. B. Crying lets you release emotions in private. C. Sometimes, you just need to let the tears flow. D. Why do we cry when we’re sad (and sometimes happy)? E. Crying is, therefore, a signal that we feel close to someone. F. So, it may take a while before crying makes you feel better. G. Anyone who’s ever cried after getting pulled over for speeding knows that. 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。 As chief economist at the Bank of England, Andy Haldane knew that data and models could never provide the depth of 41 he needed for important decisions. So he made a point of 42 the streets of the City of London, seeking conversations quite different from those 43 at the bank. Hanging out with community workers and faith groups 44 what he would never have had at his desk. “Trying to make sense of what I saw and heard, I found myself relying more on 45 than statistics,” he says. The wealth of 46 from hanging out encouraged Haldane to 47 , bringing many different 48 into the Bank of England. Bringing in such diverse 49 as Tamara Rojo from the English National Ballet and artist Grayson Perry sparked very different conversations.

That is how 53 begins,” Andy says. But why are these habits of mind not taken more 54 ? Because they may not look or feel like work at all.

I know I can’t change what the world has become. But as a college teacher, I can shape my classroom. When it comes to cellphones, I’ve learned that one cannot be tough on students using them in class. I once had a colleague who tried this, threatening punishment for violators. The rest of her semester was, in a word, unhappy. But neither do I think it productive to take a hands-off (放手不管的) attitude toward students who are texting friends while the poor teacher labors, ignored, at the blackboard. I knew a math professor who tried this approach. One day, I asked some of his students who their math teacher was. Their response: “Some guy.” Both examples suggested that there must be a middle way. So I came up with one. On the first day of class, I struck a friendly but purposeful tone, telling my students, “If I catch you looking at your phone during the class discussion, you must call your parents right then and there on speakerphone (免提) and tell them that you love them.” I delivered this with a twinkle in my eye, and my students chuckled good-naturedly. Then I followed up with my end of the bargain: “This means whenever you speak to me, I promise to give you my full attention.” When delivered in a caring but serious way, my students are on board. Well, mostly. There’s always an exception. His name was Paul Davis. He liked to test the waters of classroom norms (准则), like coming to class in his pajama bottoms and slippers. One day, during a lively class discussion, I caught Paul typing on his phone. “Excuse me,” I interrupted. “Are you texting?” 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paul looked up from his phone. Mr. Davis’s voice came through on speakerphone, sounding quite surprised. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
