“But you will be a beautiful narrator，” she said.She encouraged and comforted me as usual，“You just haven’t been ready for the stage performance.” Seeing the sadness on my face soften a little，she added，“Why not take the narrator’s part as an opportunity to be familiar with the stage？” Her encouragement calmed me down gradually，and I began to accept that the narrator’s part was of vital significance.Soon it was the big day.
Backstage on the night of the performance，I felt nervous.But then I found a dandelion in my pocket.I knew my mom passed the flower to me，hoping it would be my lucky charm.After the play，I took home the flower.Mom carefully gazed at the dandelion，gently pressed it into the dictionary and grinned happily at me.Though decades passed，her smile and her words of wisdom have stayed with me and shaped me into who I am now！And this is perhaps the best gift that I’ve ever received in my life.2025年4月月考高二年级英语试卷

If you are crazy about paintings, you shouldn't miss the following four famous masterpieces which have stood the test of time.
The Arnolfini Portrait
Jan van Eyck's The Arnolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery, London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth century society, through van Eyck's heavy use of symbolism—while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.
The Starry Night
Vincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas (帆布), a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12 month stay at the mental hospital near Saint Rémy de Provence, France between 1889 and 1890. When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gogh's most famous works.
The Harvesters
The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.
Guernica
Guernica, a large black and white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title “Guernica” refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofaí in Madrid.

Zhao Yishen bends over，his eyes staring at the woodblock(木刻印版).Holding a chisel(凿子) in his right hand，he guides it forward carefully and exactly across the woodblock using his left hand.To carve the woodblocks，the young craftsman has to hold this position for six hours.He has been carving woodblocks since 2012.
“It feels good and looks beautiful when a Chinese character slowly appears on the woodblock under your chisel，” says Zhao.Zhao is now the only full-time carver working at the Zhuyu Shanfang studio，a workshop that focuses on creating woodblock-printed books in Beijing.Each carved woodblock has ink applied and goes on to print a text onto hundreds of pieces of paper.Zhao carves around 20 Chinese characters each day，which means it takes him one year or even a longer time to complete a set of woodblocks fit for a whole book.
As a teenager he loved to read ancient Chinese books in the library，and the curiosity of how the books were made led him to get a job at the Guangling Guji ancient books woodblock printing studio in Yangzhou，Jiangsu Province，in 2011 after graduating as a law major from college.
Block printing was listed as a UNESCO World Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2009.Zhao was introduced to one of the technique's masters，Chen Yishi，in 2012 and started to learn the skill from him.
In Zhao's mind，the inked woodblock is a work of art.After a year of learning from Chen，Zhao found a job at Zhuyu Shanfang in 2013，where he upgraded his carving skills.With his progress，his carved woodblocks have been used for more and more books over the past years.
“I have just learned the basic skills，but to master it，I still need years of practice，” says Zhao.“A good craftsman can carve an entire book with every single character lined evenly.”
4．What can we know about Zhao Yishen's work
A．It is a flexible part-time job.
B．It involves the printing work.
C．It needs much effort and time.
D．It includes creating characters.
5．What made Zhao Yishen become a carver

C．The difficulty of finding a proper job.
D．His interest in ancient Chinese books.
6．Which can best describe Zhao Yishen as a carver
A．Modest and hard-working.
B．Talented and knowledgeable.
C．Ambitious and clever.
D．Creative and confident.

C．A craftsman with a traditional skill.
D. The development of woodblock-printed books.

When I am surfing the Web，I want to be drawn by articles on Europe’s political history，but I end up reading menus from Alcatraz prison.Why does that happen
Curiosity seems beyond your control，and trying to direct it sounds like forcing yourself to find a joke funny.But if you know what boosts curiosity，you may be able to understand it a little better.
During the evolution，curious animals were more likely to survive because they learned about their environments.Humans，too，will give up a known pay-off to investigate the unknown.Scientists did some experiments.In the first experiment，subjects were asked to choose one of four photos，each carrying some chance of a cash prize.Photos repeated，so subjects learned to pick the best.But when a new photo appeared，they chose it more often than the familiar ones.This preference for new one is，of course，the reason why producers regularly change product packaging.
Also，curiosity improves learning.In the second experiment，subjects read simple questions and rated how curious each made them feel.Later，they saw the questions again，each followed by a photo of a face，and judged whether that person looked as if he or she would know the answer.In a surprise final memory test for the faces，subjects better remembered those appearing after the questions that make them curious.
This function of curiosity—to heighten memory—is the key to understanding why we’re curious about some things instead of others.We feel most curious when exploration produces the most learning.Suppose I ask you，“What’s the most common type of star in the Milky Way？” You’ll obviously feel uninterested if you already know the answer.But you’ll also feel little curious if you know nothing about stars; if you learned the answer，you couldn’t connect it to other knowledge，so it would seem nearly meaningless.We’re maximally curious when we sense that the environment offers new information in the right part to complement what we already know.
32．Why does the author mention his own experience in paragraph 1
A．To present a fact.
B．To introduce a topic.
C．To make a prediction.
D．To explain a concept.
33．Why do producers change the packaging of the products frequently
A．To attract customers’ interest.
B．To follow the latest trend.
C．To represent companies’ creativity.
D．To show the new products.
34．What can we learn from the experiments in paragraphs 3 and 4
A．The questions in the second experiment were interesting.
B．In both experiments，subjects preferred to choose the new objects.
C．In the second experiment，curiosity contributed to the subjects’ better memory.
D．The new photos in the first experiment had higher possibilities of a cash prize.
35．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Satisfying curiosity makes us feel pleased.
B．A well-known topic makes us most curious.
C．People are most curious about totally unfamiliar topic.
D．People will be most curious when the unknown hugs the known.
D
Aerospace engineers are working on air vehicles—that will be used to drop packages on your doorsteps，transport people and goods over shorter distances and could even give people the ability to call air taxis—to fundamentally change how we see the sky.
What helps the engineers get ready for the change Batteries keep getting smaller.Materials to build the air vehicles are lighter than ever.Software is more sophisticated.A modern cockpit(驾驶舱) from 20 years ago can’t do half as much as the phone in your pocket.These modernizations have enabled a greater focus on electric technology in flying over the past 15 years.It’s changed the way they fly.
Maybe soon you will be walking down the street to a vertiport，where you’ll catch an air taxi.We’re likely to see one with a pilot，carrying boxes from one place to another.Then it will start flying with passengers and become pilotless.As the new plane becomes more common，the result could be something as simple as cutting down travel time within urban and suburban areas，making it slightly easier to get to the airport or from the suburbs to downtown.But the planes could also help get rid of “transportation deserts”，making it easier for a doctor to reach a patient in a rural area who has limited access to a hospital.
However，there are still a lot of outstanding questions.There are safety measures and requirements that need to be developed.There is pilot training and workforce development.There’s the cost.There’s figuring out who would use this type of transportation.There are still more advances in technology that need to happen if you want them to go farther than 150 miles and to be unmanned.But，according to Hackenberg of NASA，“About the future，it’s not an if; it’s a when.”
28．What does the underlined word “sophisticated” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Fashionable. B．Advanced.
C．Conventional. D．Flexible.
29．Why is “transportation deserts” mentioned in paragraph 3
A．To present a fact.
B．To explain a principle.
C．To highlight an advantage.
D．To make a prediction.
30．What does Hackenberg think of the practice
A．Promising. B．Challenging.
C．Simple. D．Creative.
31．What is the best title for the text
A．Air Taxis：Say “No” to Traffic Jam
B．Air Taxis：Private Flight for Business
C．Ready for Air Taxis
D．How Do Air Taxis Work

Whether it's for a promising job interview, first date, or chance meeting, making a good impression is important in just about every situation. __36__
Arrive Early. Actor Billy Porter said it in his book Unprotected: A Memoir, “Fifteen minutes early is on time, on time is late, and late is unacceptable.” __37__ If you're giving a presentation, arriving early gives you a moment to test the equipment you're using. If you're early to a job interview, you'll have time to go over your elevator pitch to yourself, adjust your tie, or make sure your hair isn't out of place.
Actively listen. Active listening is giving the speaker your undivided attention and paying attention to what's said and the intention behind it. __38__ Asking the right questions shows you're engaged, but just don't ask something the speaker already answered.
__39__ When you're meeting someone for the first time, don't try to be someone you're not. If you don't know the answer to something they ask, don't fake it. The ability to learn into your weaknesses shows that you are self aware. However, don't overemphasize your shortcomings, either.
Know your audience. __40__ If your meeting is planned in advance, you should know plenty about the person or business you're meeting with before arriving. Google the people you'll meet, the company founders/co founders, their history, their competition, their main products, and any other relevant information before you walk into the room.
A．Be authentic.
B．Do your research.
C．Emphasize your advantages.
D．Listen for opportunities to ask questions concerning the discussion.
E. There are some simple steps to succeed in the first business meeting.
F．We can help you put your best foot forward no matter where you are.
G．Arriving in advance for a meeting gives you a little more time to ensure everything is in place.

Before __41__ photos on the social network, many women use photo beatification apps to not only smoothen and whiten their skin but enlarge their eyes __42__. It's common for __43__ young women to have their freckles removed by laser, or to enlarge their eyes and shave their facial bones with plastic surgeries.
Fair, spotless skin is often connected with being elegant, pure and even __44__. Freckles, meanwhile, are considered as dirty, ugly and a sign of ill health. One of the “funny” comments I've heard, from someone promoting traditional Chinese medicines, was that freckles “are a(n) __45__ of a disease.”
This singular definition of beauty can create __46__ for those who don't fit within it. I grew up thinking my freckles were __47__ by most people. It was not until in college that my attitude changed, and it took another few years __48__ I learned to truly love my freckles. I believe they make me __49__ and beautiful.
The idea of having a single beauty standard is especially strange for a country as diverse as China. With 56 officially __50__ ethnic groups, beauty here is rich and varied. Thankfully, the __51__ definition of beauty is slowly improving. The state run newspaper China Daily took a firm stand and offered its support, with an article calling on people to be culturally confident and __52__ what we have naturally.

Lessons from Headmaster Zhang Guimei's Inspiring Journey
第二节　(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One lunchtime when I was in the third grade will stay with me always.I had been picked to be the princess in the school play，and for weeks my mother had spared no effort to practise my lines with me.But no matter how easily I delivered them at home，every word disappeared from my head as soon as I stepped onstage.
Finally，my teacher took me aside.She explained that she had written a narrator’s part to the play，and asked me to switch roles.Her words，kindly delivered，still stung especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
I didn’t tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day.But she sensed my unease，and instead of suggesting we practice my lines，she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard.
It was a lovely spring day and the rose vine on the shelf was turning green.Under the huge elm trees，we could see yellow dandelions(蒲公英) popping through the grass in bunches.
I watched my mother casually bend down by one of the flowers.“I think I’m going to dig up all these weeds，” she said，pulling a flower up by its roots.“From now on，we’ll have only roses in this garden.”
“But I like dandelions，” I protested.“All flowers are beautiful，even dandelions.” My mother looked at me seriously.“Yes，every flower gives pleasure in its own way，doesn’t it？” she asked thoughtfully.I nodded，pleased that I had won her over.“And that is true of people too，” she added.“Not everyone can be a princess，so there is no shame in that.”
Relieved that she had guessed my pain，I started to cry as I told her what had happened.She listened and smiled reassuringly.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
“But you will be a beautiful narrator，” she said.

harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a
merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.

Zhao Yishen bends over，his eyes staring at the woodblock(木刻印版).Holding a chisel(凿子) in his right hand，
he guides it forward carefully and exactly across the woodblock using his left hand.To carve the woodblocks， the
young craftsman has to hold this position for six hours.He has been carving woodblocks since 2012.
“It feels good and looks beautiful when a Chinese character slowly appears on the woodblock under your
chisel，” says Zhao.Zhao is now the only full time carver working at the Zhuyu Shanfang studio，a workshop
that focuses on creating woodblock printed books in Beijing.Each carved woodblock has ink applied and goes on
to print a text onto hundreds of pieces of paper.Zhao carves around 20 Chinese characters each day，which means
it takes him one year or even a longer time to complete a set of woodblocks fit for a whole book.
As a teenager he loved to read ancient Chinese books in the library，and the curiosity of how the books were
made led him to get a job at the Guangling Guji ancient books woodblock printing studio in Yangzhou，Jiangsu
Province，in 2011 after graduating as a law major from college.
Block printing was listed as a UNESCO World Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2009.Zhao was introduced to
one of the technique's masters，Chen Yishi，in 2012 and started to learn the skill from him.
In Zhao's mind，the inked woodblock is a work of art.After a year of learning from Chen，Zhao found a job
at Zhuyu Shanfang in 2013，where he upgraded his carving skills.With his progress，his carved woodblocks have
been used for more and more books over the past years.
“I have just learned the basic skills，but to master it，I still need years of practice，” says Zhao.“A good
craftsman can carve an entire book with every single character lined evenly.” 4．What can we know about Zhao

When I am surfing the Web，I want to be drawn by articles on Europe’s political history，but I end up
reading menus from Alcatraz prison.Why does that happen
Curiosity seems beyond your control ， and trying to direct it sounds like forcing yourself to find a joke
funny.But if you know what boosts curiosity，you may be able to understand it a little better.
During the evolution ， curious animals were more likely to survive because they learned about their
environments.Humans ， too ， will give up a known pay off to investigate the unknown.Scientists did some
experiments.In the first experiment，subjects were asked to choose one of four photos，each carrying some chance
of a cash prize.Photos repeated，so subjects learned to pick the best.But when a new photo appeared，they chose
it more often than the familiar ones.This preference for new one is，of course，the reason why producers regularly
change product packaging.
Also，curiosity improves learning.In the second experiment，subjects read simple questions and rated how
curious each made them feel.Later，they saw the questions again，each followed by a photo of a face，and judged
whether that person looked as if he or she would know the answer.In a surprise final memory test for the faces，
subjects better remembered those appearing after the questions that make them curious.
This function of curiosity—to heighten memory—is the key to understanding why we’re curious about some
things instead of others.We feel most curious when exploration produces the most learning.Suppose I ask you，
“What’s the most common type of star in the Milky Way？” You’ll obviously feel uninterested if you already
know the answer.But you’ll also feel little curious if you know nothing about stars; if you learned the answer，
you couldn’t connect it to other knowledge，so it would seem nearly meaningless.We’re maximally curious
when we sense that the environment offers new information in the right part to complement what we already know.
32．Why does the author mention his own experience in paragraph 1
A．To present a fact.
B．To introduce a topic.
C．To make a prediction.
D．To explain a concept.
33．Why do producers change the packaging of the products frequently
A．To attract customers’ interest.
B．To follow the latest trend.
C．To represent companies’ creativity.
D．To show the new products.
34．What can we learn from the experiments in paragraphs 3 and 4
A．The questions in the second experiment were interesting.
B．In both experiments，subjects preferred to choose the new objects.
C．In the second experiment，curiosity contributed to the subjects’ better memory.
D．The new photos in the first experiment had higher possibilities of a cash prize.
35．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Satisfying curiosity makes us feel pleased.
B．A well known topic makes us most curious.
C．People are most curious about totally unfamiliar topic.
D．People will be most curious when the unknown hugs the known.
D
Aerospace engineers are working on air vehicles—that will be used to drop packages on your doorsteps，
transport people and goods over shorter distances and could even give people the ability to call air taxis—to
fundamentally change how we see the sky.
What helps the engineers get ready for the change Batteries keep getting smaller.Materials to build the air
vehicles are lighter than ever.Software is more sophisticated.A modern cockpit(驾驶舱) from 20 years ago can’t
do half as much as the phone in your pocket.These modernizations have enabled a greater focus on electric
technology in flying over the past 15 years.It’s changed the way they fly.
Maybe soon you will be walking down the street to a vertiport，where you’ll catch an air taxi.We’re likely
to see one with a pilot，carrying boxes from one place to another.Then it will start flying with passengers and
become pilotless.As the new plane becomes more common，the result could be something as simple as cutting
down travel time within urban and suburban areas ， making it slightly easier to get to the airport or from the
suburbs to downtown.But the planes could also help get rid of “transportation deserts”，making it easier for a
doctor to reach a patient in a rural area who has limited access to a hospital.
However，there are still a lot of outstanding questions.There are safety measures and requirements that need
to be developed.There is pilot training and workforce development.There’s the cost.There’s figuring out who
would use this type of transportation.There are still more advances in technology that need to happen if you want
them to go farther than 150 miles and to be unmanned.But，according to Hackenberg of NASA，“About the
future，it’s not an if; it’s a when.”
28．What does the underlined word “sophisticated” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Fashionable. B．Advanced.
C．Conventional. D．Flexible.
29．Why is “transportation deserts” mentioned in paragraph 3
A．To present a fact.
B．To explain a principle.
C．To highlight an advantage.
D．To make a prediction.
30．What does Hackenberg think of the practice
A．Promising. B．Challenging.
C．Simple. D．Creative.
31．What is the best title for the text
A．Air Taxis：Say “No” to Traffic Jam
B．Air Taxis：Private Flight for Business C．Ready
for Air Taxis
D．How Do Air Taxis Work

Whether it's for a promising job interview, first date, or chance meeting, making a good impression is important
in just about every situation. __36__
Arrive Early. Actor Billy Porter said it in his book Unprotected: A Memoir,“Fifteen minutes early is on time,
on time is late, and late is unacceptable.” __37__ If you're giving a presentation, arriving early gives you a
moment to test the equipment you're using. If you're early to a job interview, you'll have time to go over your
elevator pitch to yourself, adjust your tie, or make sure your hair isn't out of place.
Actively listen. Active listening is giving the speaker your undivided attention and paying attention to what's
said and the intention behind it. __38__ Asking the right questions shows you're engaged, but just don't ask
something the speaker already answered.
__39__ When you're meeting someone for the first time, don't try to be someone you're not. If you don't
know the answer to something they ask, don't fake it. The ability to learn into your weaknesses shows that you are
self aware. However, don't overemphasize your shortcomings, either.
Know your audience. __40__ If your meeting is planned in advance, you should know plenty about the
person or business you're meeting with before arriving. Google the people you'll meet, the company
founders/cofounders, their history, their competition, their main products, and any other relevant information
before you walk into the room.
A．Be authentic.
B．Do your research.
C．Emphasize your advantages.

freckles removed by laser, or to enlarge their eyes and shave their facial bones with plastic surgeries.
Fair, spotless skin is often connected with being elegant, pure and even __44__. Freckles, meanwhile, are
considered as dirty, ugly and a sign of ill health. One of the “funny” comments I've heard, from someone
promoting traditional Chinese medicines, was that freckles “are a(n) __45__ of a disease.”
This singular definition of beauty can create __46__ for those who don't fit within it. I grew up thinking my
freckles were __47__ by most people. It was not until in college that my attitude changed, and it took another few
years __48__ I learned to truly love my freckles. I believe they make me __49__ and beautiful.
The idea of having a single beauty standard is especially strange for a country as diverse as China. With 56

Lessons from Headmaster Zhang Guimei's Inspiring Journey
第二节 (满分 25 分) 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短
文。
One lunchtime when I was in the third grade will stay with me always.I had been picked to be the princess in
the school play，and for weeks my mother had spared no effort to practise my lines with me.But no matter how
easily I delivered them at home，every word disappeared from my head as soon as I stepped onstage.
Finally，my teacher took me aside.She explained that she had written a narrator’s part to the play，and asked
me to switch roles.Her words，kindly delivered，still stung especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
I didn’t tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day.But she sensed my unease，
and instead of suggesting we practice my lines，she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard.
It was a lovely spring day and the rose vine on the shelf was turning green.Under the huge elm trees，we could
see yellow dandelions(蒲公英) popping through the grass in bunches.
I watched my mother casually bend down by one of the flowers.“I think I’m going to dig up all these
weeds，” she said，pulling a flower up by its roots.“From now on，we’ll have only roses in this garden.”
“But I like dandelions，” I protested.“All flowers are beautiful，even dandelions.” My mother looked at
me seriously.“Yes，every flower gives pleasure in its own way，doesn’t it？” she asked thoughtfully.I
nodded， pleased that I had won her over.“And that is true of people too，” she added.“Not everyone can be a
princess， so there is no shame in that.”
Relieved that she had guessed my pain，I started to cry as I told her what had happened.She listened and smiled
reassuringly.
注意：续写词数应为 150 左右。
“But you will be a beautiful narrator，” she said.
