These roles are highly sought after by those looking to break into the industry and are particularly valued by employers who recognize the importance of practical experience and a deep understanding of the travel sector. Essential skills & traits needed While everyone brings their own personality to the job, there are some basic qualities that all tour guides should have: •Energy and enthusiasm are an absolute must — when the day’s tour is done, a guide still needs to study commentary (解说) and confirm the next day’s activities, so you will often need to operate on very little sleep. •A friendly personality is needed when interacting with clients, tour operators and the general public. •An insight into a wide range of cultures helps a guide settle all kinds of issues, not only in the place being visited, but also among the people on the tour. •Familiarity with emergency procedures and the capacity to remain calm during critical situations are invaluable for any tour guide. Your assurance as a tour leader can positively influence the entire group. Be aware of the facts Tour guiding often demands extended periods away from home, with peak work times sometimes overlapping (重叠) with cherished family holidays. Burnout is a challenge to manage, yet it doesn’t necessarily signal the end of a journey in the travel sector. The industry frequently presents opportunities in product development and sales, where your guiding experience can serve as a solid foundation for success in these new roles. Visit our Centre for Further Education to get more information on how to receive a General Certificate in Guiding and start your career as at our guide. 1. What initial steps should one take to become a tour guide? A. Making friends with professional guides. B. Developing different detailed tour plans. C. Guiding tours in a familiar place for free. D. Earning a degree in tourism management. 2. Which of the following is necessary for a tour guide? A. Ability to work alone. B. Complete knowledge of finance. C. Proficiency in various languages. D. Quick reaction to unexpected situations. 3. What is suggested if one feels tired of working as a guide? A. Talking with loved ones. B. Taking formal training in sales. C. Taking a long vacation away from home. D. Seeking another career in the travel industry. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3.

For years, she had been collecting fossils on their land in Monroe County, unaware of significant scientific value. However, her teacher at the Alabama School of Math and Science, Dr. Andrew Gentry, a paleontologist himself, took an interest when she showed him her collection. “Upon examining the fossil shark teeth Lindsey presented, I quickly identified one and became eager to learn about its origin,” said Andrew. Lindsey guided her mentor through the rural area where she had unearthed various relics, including shark teeth. Before long, they encountered an especially significant find on the grounds: a large bone from a 34-million-year-old whale skeleton! This led the pair to launch the huge project of uncovering the rest of the bones. After two months of hard work, they’ve managed to find the animal’s skull. “Assuming the entire skeleton is present, it may require several years for us to have the entire animal back in the lab,” Andrew explained. Lindsey secured a research scholarship to persist in her fossil-digging expeditions alongside her instructor. Her enthusiasm for the project was at an all-time high, though she had never imagined a childhood pastime would lead her down this road. “We would go out and pick up shark teeth and fossil shells, but we never knew anyone that could tell us anything about them,” she recalled. “We just thought they were cool.” “The Research Fellows Program allows Lindsey to gain real-world experience in scientific research and even present that research at professional conferences,” Andrew said. “ It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a high school student to stand out when applying to college and maybe even discover a new career path.” 4. Why was Andrew fascinated by Lindsey’s finds? A. He had a personal interest in geography. B. He recognized the significance of one fossil. C. He wanted to start a paleontology club at school. D. He was hoping to make money from the discoveries. 5. What inspired Andrew and Lindsey to start a fossil uncovering project? A. Some shark teeth. B. Some fossil shells. C. An animal’s skull. D. A primitive whale’s bone. 6. Which of the following best describes Andrew and Lindsey’s project? A. Risky but romantic. B. Dangerous but interesting. C. Demanding but motivating. D. Boring but groundbreaking. 7. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The unexpected joy of discovering fossils. B. The additional benefits of applying to college. C. Lindsey’s potential to become a high school teacher. D. Lindsey’s unique opportunities for future development. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7.

However, her teacher at the Alabama School of Math and Science, Dr. Andrew Gentry, a paleontologist himself, took an interest when she showed him her collection.”（多年来，她一直在他们位于门罗县的土地上收集化石，却没有意识到其重要的科学价值。然而，她在阿拉巴马州数学与科学学院的老师，古生物学家安德鲁·金特里博士，在她向他展示她的收藏时，引起了他的兴趣。）可推知，安德鲁对林赛的发现如此着迷是因为他认识到了一块化石的重要性。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Lindsey guided her mentor through the rural area where she had unearthed various relics, including shark teeth. Before long, they encountered an especially significant find on the grounds: a large bone from a 34-million-year-old whale skeleton! This led the pair to launch the huge project of uncovering the rest of the bones. After two months of hard work, they’ve managed to find the animal’s skull.”（林赛带着她的导师穿过农村地区，在那里她发现了各种文物，包括鲨鱼牙齿。不久之后，他们在地面上发现了一个特别重要的发现:一块来自3400万年前鲸鱼骨架的大骨头！这促使两人启动了发掘剩余骨头的庞大项目。经过两个月的艰苦工作，他们终于找到了这种动物的头骨。）可知，一块原始鲸鱼的骨头激发了安德鲁和林赛开始化石发掘项目。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““Assuming the entire skeleton is present, it may require several years for us to have the entire animal back in the lab,” Andrew explained.”（安德鲁解释说：“假设整个骨架都在，我们可能需要几年的时间才能把整个动物带回实验室。”）以及第五段“Lindsey secured a research scholarship to persist in her fossil-digging expeditions alongside her instructor. Her enthusiasm for the project was at an all-time high, though she had never imagined a childhood pastime would lead her down this road. “We would go out and pick up shark teeth and fossil shells, but we never knew anyone that could tell us anything about them,” she recalled. “We just thought they were cool.””（林赛获得了一项研究奖学金，坚持和她的导师一起进行化石挖掘探险。她对这个项目的热情达到了前所未有的高度，尽管她从未想到童年的消遣会让她走上这条路。“我们会出去捡鲨鱼牙齿和化石壳，但我们从来没有认识任何人能告诉我们任何关于它们的事情，”她回忆说。“我们只是觉得它们很酷。”）可推知，安德鲁和林赛的项目要求很高，但激励人心。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段““The Research Fellows Program allows Lindsey to gain real-world experience in scientific research and even present that research at professional conferences,” Andrew said. “ It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a high school student to stand out when applying to college and maybe even discover a new career path.””（安德鲁说：“研究人员计划使林赛能够获得科学研究的实际经验，甚至可以在专业会议上展示研究成果。”“对于高中生来说，这是一个千载难逢的机会，可以让他们在申请大学时脱颖而出，甚至可能找到一条新的职业道路。”）可知，最后一段主要讲的是林赛未来发展的独特机会。故选D项。 C Although Sir Isaac Newton did not employ his reflecting telescope to uncover novel astronomical phenomena, he did use it to completely transform how we view the world we live in and the universe as a whole. Reflecting telescopes use mirrors to bend light and enlarge images, distinguishing them from refractors (折射望远镜) that rely on lenses. Their simplicity in construction and ability to achieve much greater sizes than refractors have led to a transformation in our astronomical knowledge and our comprehension of the universe. As light passes through glass, various colors or bands are refracted at varying angles, leading to chromatic aberration (色差) and consequently, distorted images when viewed through a lens. In the time of Newton, the technology for producing glass and lenses was still very primitive, and the challenges associated with chromatic aberration had not been adequately addressed. Today we can make lenses that have almost no chromatic aberration but we can’t make them very large. As the size of a lens increases significantly, it becomes extremely heavy, causing its own weight to distort the lens and consequently ruin the image quality. Newton’s telescope solved these problems. A mirror doesn’t allow light to pass. It simply bounces all the light off the surface. This means there’s no chromatic aberration. Plus, because we only need to bounce light off the surface, we can support the entire mirror on a base, reducing its weight. This allows us to build much larger mirrors without any distortion. While Galileo is credited with the discovery of moons around Jupiter and Halley with predicting the comet’s orbit, what Newton did do was tie in mathematics, astronomy and our comprehension of the universe through the use of his telescope and his universal gravitation theory. The original telescope constructed by Newton is preserved and maintained by the Royal Society of London. It is showcased in London and occasionally embarks on international tours as an element of exhibitions. 8 What do we know about Newton’s reflecting telescope? A. It has a complex structure. B. It relies on mirrors instead of lenses. C. It can make the image smaller than a refractor. D. It helped Newton uncover novel astronomical phenomena. 9. What does the underlined word “distorted” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Confused. B. Twisted. C. Evident. D. Vivid. 10. What problems did Newton’s telescope manage to solve? A. Issues with image quality. B. Restrictions on the size. C. Challenges of lens making. D. Limits of light passing angles. 11. What is the author’s purpose of mentioning Galileo and Halley? A. To state a fact. B. To raise a point. C. To explain a concept. D. To make a comparison. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了牛顿发明反射望远镜使用镜面而非透镜来聚焦光线，避免了由于色差导致的图像失真问题，提高了望远镜的性能，使我们的天文学知识和对宇宙的理解发生了转变。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Reflecting telescopes use mirrors to bend light and enlarge images, distinguishing them from refractors (折射望远镜) that rely on lenses. (反射望远镜使用镜面来让光线转弯并放大图像，将其与依靠透镜的折射望远镜区别开来)”可知，牛顿的反射望远镜依靠镜子而不是透镜来工作。故选B项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“As light passes through glass, various colors or bands are refracted at varying angles, leading to chromatic aberration (色差) (当光线穿过玻璃时，各种颜色或波段以不同的角度折射，导致色差)”和下文“images when viewed through a lens (通过镜头观看的图像)”可推知，色差会让图像扭曲失真，画线词意思应该是“扭曲的”，与Twisted意思相近。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Newton’s telescope solved these problems. A mirror doesn’t allow light to pass. It simply bounces all the light off the surface. This means there’s no chromatic aberration. Plus, because we only need to bounce light off the surface, we can support the entire mirror on a base, reducing its weight. This allows us to build much larger mirrors without any distortion. (牛顿的望远镜解决了这些问题。镜子不允许光线通过。它只是把所有的光从表面反射回来。这意味着没有色差。另外，因为我们只需要将光线从表面反射出去，我们可以将整个镜子支撑在一个底座上，从而减轻了它的重量。这使我们能够建立更大的镜子没有任何失真)”可知，牛顿的望远镜成功解决了图像因色差以及重量问题而质量不佳的问题。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“While Galileo is credited with the discovery of moons around Jupiter and Halley with predicting the comet’s orbit, what Newton did do was tie in mathematics, astronomy and our comprehension of the universe through the use of his telescope and his universal gravitation theory. (伽利略发现了木星周围的卫星，哈雷预测了彗星的轨道，而牛顿所做的是通过使用他的望远镜和万有引力理论，将数学、天文学和我们对宇宙的理解联系在一起)”可知，与伽利略、哈雷相比，牛顿虽然没有发现新的天文学现象，但是却做到了将数学、天文学和人们对宇宙的理解联系在一起。由此推知，作者提到伽利略、哈雷的目的是做比较。故选D项。 D Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are indicating that accurate quake forecasting may be attainable, thereby casting doubt on the conventional wisdom that such an accomplishment is beyond our capabilities. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, created an AI model that, during a test run in China, correctly forecasted approximately 70 percent of earthquakes with a one-week warning and offered reliable assessments of their potential intensity. The researchers attribute their technique’s effectiveness to its reliance on a straightforward machine leaning framework. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI offered predictions by detecting early indicators of quakes hidden within the planet’s low-frequency rumbles (隆隆声). The project marks a substantial breakthrough in the exploration of AI for anticipating seismic (地震) events. According to Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior researcher heading the Texas Seismological Network, “Seismic occurrences strike without warning, often in the blink of an eye. Your readiness is all you can influence. Achieving a 70% prediction rate is a considerable achievement that could significantly restrict the impact of earthquakes, reducing both the financial burden and loss of life, and the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.” Although the effectiveness of this method in different regions remains uncertain, the researchers believe that their AI model has the potential to enhance prediction accuracy when carried out in regions equipped with dependable seismic monitoring facilities. Their next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, where the University of Texas’s TexNet operates a network of 300 earthquake stations and over six years’ worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes. Ultimately, the authors aim to combine the system with physics-based models. This approach could be particularly valuable in areas characterized by limited or inadequate data. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director. 12. How does the AI predict seismic events? A. It identifies data from the satellites. B. It analyzes background sounds in the Earth. C. It models data based on earthquake recordings. D. It monitors changes in the Earth’s magnetic field. 13. What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show in paragraph 3? A. The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes. B. The importance of preparing for earthquakes. C. The significance of developing the AI prediction. D. The restrictions of AI-based methods in earthquake prediction. 14. What does the subsequent research focus on? A. Conducting tests in different locations. B. Applying the AI approach to other fields. C. Building more earthquake stations in Texas. D. Enlarging the database to train the calculation accuracy. 15 Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology? A. Stable but outdated. B. Effective but costly. C. Potential and economical. D. Pioneering and promising. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人工智能可以给出准确的地震预测，介绍了其工作原理以及意义。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Once trained, the AI offered predictions by detecting early indicators of quakes hidden within the planet’s low-frequency rumbles (隆隆声).(经过训练后，人工智能通过探测隐藏在地球低频隆隆声中的早期地震指标来提供预测)”可知，人工智能分析地球上的背景声音预测地震事件。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The project marks a substantial breakthrough in the exploration of AI for anticipating seismic (地震) events. According to Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior researcher heading the Texas Seismological Network, “Seismic occurrences strike without warning, often in the blink of an eye. Your readiness is all you can influence. Achieving a 70% prediction rate is a considerable achievement that could significantly restrict the impact of earthquakes, reducing both the financial burden and loss of life, and the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.”(该项目标志着人工智能在预测地震事件方面的探索取得了重大突破。德克萨斯地震网的高级研究员Alexandros Savvaidis说：“地震发生在没有预警的情况下，经常在眨眼之间发生。你能影响的只有你的准备程度。达到70%的预测率是一项相当大的成就，可以显著限制地震的影响，减少经济负担和生命损失，并有可能显著改善全球的地震准备工作。”)”可知，亚历山德罗斯·萨瓦伊迪斯想在第3段说明发展人工智能预测的意义。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Their next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, where the University of Texas’s TexNet operates a network of 300 earthquake stations and over six years’ worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes.(他们的下一步是在德克萨斯州测试人工智能，德克萨斯大学的TexNet运营着一个由300个地震站组成的网络，拥有超过六年的连续记录，使其成为进行这些研究的理想地点)”可知，接下来的研究重点是在不同地点进行测试。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are indicating that accurate quake forecasting may be attainable, thereby casting doubt on the conventional wisdom that such an accomplishment is beyond our capabilities.(人工智能(AI)的进步表明，准确的地震预测可能是可以实现的，从而对传统智慧产生了质疑，即这种成就超出了我们的能力)”以及最后一段““That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director.(“这可能还有很长的路要走，但许多像这样的进步，综合起来，是推动科学向前发展的动力，”该局局长斯科特·廷克总结道)”可推知，地震预测技术具有开创性和前景。故选D。 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。 As high school graduates step into a new chapter of their lives, they often encounter challenges and stress.

Takata, better known as “Find-It Frankie” due to my exceptional tracking abilities. I will say that there’s nothing out there I can’t find. I am fortunate to have a loyal and skilled partner, Munchy, by my side. He was selected especially for me from an animal shelter by my parents on the occasion of my fifth birthday. One Thursday afternoon, Munchy and I were playing in the garden when Mom revealed that her cherished diamond ring had disappeared, entrusting us with the task of locating it. Had I known how tricky the case would be, I might have thought twice. But I said then as I’d say today, “I assure you that there’s nothing we can’t locate” Whenever an item disappears, my initial inquiry to Mom is, “Do you recall the last place you saw it?” “I was occupied making cookies in the kitchen,” Mom replied, “when I removed my ring and set it on the counter. However, after taking a call from your aunt, I returned to discover the ring missing!” “Hmm. Well, it couldn’t have disappeared all by itself,” I said. “Munchy, let’s go take a closer look.” Munchy led the way to the kitchen. The counter bore no indication of the ring’s whereabouts(下落); however, the flour betrayed faint paw prints, which pointed toward the criminal’s identity. “The cat” I said. “Mr. Jingles must have been playing with the ring, causing it to drop to the ground!” Crawling on the floor, I searched high and low for the ring. My efforts were in vain. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: “Munchy, you’re up! Go find Mr. Jingles.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I was about to give up when I took a bite of the warm cookie Mom handed me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “Munchy, you’re up! Go find Mr. Jingles.” Munchy’s ears popped up. He never passed up a chance to make the cat angry. Munchy must have realized how bad it would be for business if we didn’t find the ring, because he located the cat asleep on the sofa at once. I lifted up an angry Mr. Jingles while Munchy searched the living room. But the ring wasn’t there. Munchy and I returned to the kitchen. I was about to give up when I took a bite of the cookie Mom handed me. Feeling something hard, I stopped. “Found it!” I said, with bits of cookie falling out of my mouth. I pulled the ring from my mouth. “Now I see what happened,” I said. “The cat knocked the ring into the dough. And then it was accidentally baked into a cookie!” I handed the ring back to Mom. She smiled as she cleaned the ring. “I know who to ask next time I lose something!” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和和他的狗Munchy帮助妈妈找回丢失的钻石戒指，发现可能是家里的猫弄丢了他，结果最终在妈妈做的饼干中找到了戒指的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““Munchy，该你了！”去找Mr. Jingles。””可知，第一段可描写作者和Munchy一起找Jingles的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“我刚要放弃，就咬了一口妈妈递给我的饼干。”可知，第二段可描写作者终于在妈妈做的饼干中找到了戒指的经过。 2.续写线索：和Munchy一起找Jingles——在客厅没有发现戒指——咬了一口妈妈递给我的饼干——在饼干中发现戒指——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize /be aware of ②找到：located /found ③递还给：handed back /gave back 情绪类 ①生气的：angry /upset ②难受的：hard/ painful 【点睛】[高分句型1] Munchy must have realized how bad it would be for business if we didn’t find the ring, because he located the cat asleep on the sofa at once.（运用了连接副词how引导的宾语从句以及连词because引导的原因状语从句。） [高分句型2] Feeling something hard, I stopped.（运用了非谓语动词中的现在分词作状语。） 听力答案：1-5 CABBA 6-10 BABCB 11-15 AACAA 16-20 ACBBA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 开封市2024届高三年级第三次质量检测 英 语 本试卷分第I卷(选择题)和第II卷(非选择题)两部分, 考生作答时, 将答案答在答题卡上(答题注意事项见答题卡), 在本试题卷上作答无效。考试结束后, 将本试题卷和答题卡一并交回。 注意事项: 1. 本考试设试题卷和答题卡两部分, 所有答题必须用2B 铅笔涂(选择题)或用黑色签字笔写(非选择题)在答题卡上, 做在试卷上一律不得分。 2. 答卷前, 务必用黑色中性笔在答题卡正面清楚地填写姓名、准考证号。 3. 考试时间120分钟。试卷满分150分。 第Ⅰ卷 第一部分 听力(共两节, 满分30分) 第一节(共 5 小题; 每小题 1.5 分, 满分 7.5 分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题, 从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项, 听完每段对话后, 你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

These roles are highly sought after by those looking to break into the industry and are particularly valued by employers who recognize the importance of practical experience and a deep understanding of the travel sector. Essential skills & traits needed While everyone brings their own personality to the job, there are some basic qualities that all tour guides should have: •Energy and enthusiasm are an absolute must — when the day’s tour is done, a guide still needs to study commentary (解说) and confirm the next day’s activities, so you will often need to operate on very little sleep. •A friendly personality is needed when interacting with clients, tour operators and the general public. •An insight into a wide range of cultures helps a guide settle all kinds of issues, not only in the place being visited, but also among the people on the tour. •Familiarity with emergency procedures and the capacity to remain calm during critical situations are invaluable for any tour guide. Your assurance as a tour leader can positively influence the entire group. Be aware of the facts Tour guiding often demands extended periods away from home, with peak work times sometimes overlapping (重叠) with cherished family holidays. Burnout is a challenge to manage, yet it doesn’t necessarily signal the end of a journey in the travel sector. The industry frequently presents opportunities in product development and sales, where your guiding experience can serve as a solid foundation for success in these new roles. Visit our Centre for Further Education to get more information on how to receive a General Certificate in Guiding and start your career as at our guide. 1. What initial steps should one take to become a tour guide? A. Making friends with professional guides. B. Developing different detailed tour plans. C. Guiding tours in a familiar place for free. D. Earning a degree in tourism management. 2. Which of the following is necessary for a tour guide? A. Ability to work alone. B. Complete knowledge of finance. C. Proficiency in various languages. D. Quick reaction to unexpected situations. 3. What is suggested if one feels tired of working as a guide? A. Talking with loved ones. B. Taking formal training in sales. C. Taking a long vacation away from home. D. Seeking another career in the travel industry. B Lindsey Stallworth, a high school student from Alabama, is on her way to a promising career in paleontology (古生物学) due to an unexpected discovery on family property. For years, she had been collecting fossils on their land in Monroe County, unaware of significant scientific value. However, her teacher at the Alabama School of Math and Science, Dr. Andrew Gentry, a paleontologist himself, took an interest when she showed him her collection. “Upon examining the fossil shark teeth Lindsey presented, I quickly identified one and became eager to learn about its origin,” said Andrew. Lindsey guided her mentor through the rural area where she had unearthed various relics, including shark teeth. Before long, they encountered an especially significant find on the grounds: a large bone from a 34-million-year-old whale skeleton! This led the pair to launch the huge project of uncovering the rest of the bones. After two months of hard work, they’ve managed to find the animal’s skull. “Assuming the entire skeleton is present, it may require several years for us to have the entire animal back in the lab,” Andrew explained. Lindsey secured a research scholarship to persist in her fossil-digging expeditions alongside her instructor. Her enthusiasm for the project was at an all-time high, though she had never imagined a childhood pastime would lead her down this road. “We would go out and pick up shark teeth and fossil shells, but we never knew anyone that could tell us anything about them,” she recalled. “We just thought they were cool.” “The Research Fellows Program allows Lindsey to gain real-world experience in scientific research and even present that research at professional conferences” Andrew said. “ It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a high school student to stand out when applying to college and maybe even discover a new career path.” 4. Why was Andrew fascinated by Lindsey’s finds? A. He had a personal interest in geography. B. He recognized the significance of one fossil. C. He wanted to start a paleontology club at school. D. He was hoping to make money from the discoveries. 5. What inspired Andrew and Lindsey to start a fossil uncovering project? A. Some shark teeth. B. Some fossil shells. C. An animal’s skull. D. A primitive whale’s bone. 6. Which of the following best describes Andrew and Lindsey’s project? A. Risky but romantic. B. Dangerous but interesting. C. Demanding but motivating. D. Boring but groundbreaking. 7. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The unexpected joy of discovering fossils. B. The additional benefits of applying to college. C. Lindsey’s potential to become a high school teacher. D. Lindsey’s unique opportunities for future development. C Although Sir Isaac Newton did not employ his reflecting telescope to uncover novel astronomical phenomena, he did use it to completely transform how we view the world we live in and the universe as a whole. Reflecting telescopes use mirrors to bend light and enlarge images, distinguishing them from refractors (折射望远镜) that rely on lenses. Their simplicity in construction and ability to achieve much greater sizes than refractors have led to a transformation in our astronomical knowledge and our comprehension of the universe. As light passes through glass, various colors or bands are refracted at varying angles, leading to chromatic aberration (色差) and consequently, distorted images when viewed through a lens. In the time of Newton, the technology for producing glass and lenses was still very primitive, and the challenges associated with chromatic aberration had not been adequately addressed. Today we can make lenses that have almost no chromatic aberration but we can’t make them very large. As the size of a lens increases significantly, it becomes extremely heavy, causing its own weight to distort the lens and consequently ruin the image quality. Newton’s telescope solved these problems. A mirror doesn’t allow light to pass. It simply bounces all the light off the surface. This means there’s no chromatic aberration. Plus, because we only need to bounce light off the surface, we can support the entire mirror on a base, reducing its weight. This allows us to build much larger mirrors without any distortion. While Galileo is credited with the discovery of moons around Jupiter and Halley with predicting the comet’s orbit, what Newton did do was tie in mathematics, astronomy and our comprehension of the universe through the use of his telescope and his universal gravitation theory. The original telescope constructed by Newton is preserved and maintained by the Royal Society of London. It is showcased in London and occasionally embarks on international tours as an element of exhibitions. 8. What do we know about Newton’s reflecting telescope? A. It has a complex structure. B.

D Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are indicating that accurate quake forecasting may be attainable, thereby casting doubt on the conventional wisdom that such an accomplishment is beyond our capabilities. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, created an AI model that, during a test run in China, correctly forecasted approximately 70 percent of earthquakes with a one-week warning and offered reliable assessments of their potential intensity. The researchers attribute their technique’s effectiveness to its reliance on a straightforward machine leaning framework. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI offered predictions by detecting early indicators of quakes hidden within the planet’s low-frequency rumbles (隆隆声). The project marks a substantial breakthrough in the exploration of AI for anticipating seismic (地震) events. According to Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior researcher heading the Texas Seismological Network, “Seismic occurrences strike without warning, often in the blink of an eye. Your readiness is all you can influence. Achieving a 70% prediction rate is a considerable achievement that could significantly restrict the impact of earthquakes, reducing both the financial burden and loss of life, and the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.” Although the effectiveness of this method in different regions remains uncertain, the researchers believe that their AI model has the potential to enhance prediction accuracy when carried out in regions equipped with dependable seismic monitoring facilities. Their next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, where the University of Texas’s TexNet operates a network of 300 earthquake stations and over six years’ worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes. Ultimately, the authors aim to combine the system with physics-based models. This approach could be particularly valuable in areas characterized by limited or inadequate data. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director. 12. How does the AI predict seismic events? A. It identifies data from the satellites. B. It analyzes background sounds in the Earth. C. It models data based on earthquake recordings. D. It monitors changes in the Earth’s magnetic field. 13. What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show in paragraph 3? A. The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes. B. The importance of preparing for earthquakes. C. The significance of developing the AI prediction. D. The restrictions of AI-based methods in earthquake prediction. 14. What does the subsequent research focus on? A. Conducting tests in different locations. B. Applying the AI approach to other fields. C. Building more earthquake stations in Texas. D. Enlarging the database to train the calculation accuracy. 15. Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology? A. Stable but outdated. B. Effective but costly. C. Potential and economical. D. Pioneering and promising. 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。 As high school graduates step into a new chapter of their lives, they often encounter challenges and stress.

Takata, better known as “Find-It Frankie” due to my exceptional tracking abilities. I will say that there’s nothing out there I can’t find. I am fortunate to have a loyal and skilled partner, Munchy, by my side. He was selected especially for me from an animal shelter by my parents on the occasion of my fifth birthday. One Thursday afternoon Munchy and I were playing in the garden when Mom revealed that her cherished diamond ring had disappeared, entrusting us with the task of locating it. Had I known how tricky the case would be, I might have thought twice. But I said then as I’d say today, “I assure you that there’s nothing we can’t locate” Whenever an item disappears, my initial inquiry to Mom is, “Do you recall the last place you saw it?” “I was occupied making cookies in the kitchen,” Mom replied, “when I removed my ring and set it on the counter. However, after taking a call from your aunt, I returned to discover the ring missing!” “Hmm. Well, it couldn’t have disappeared all by itself,” I said. “Munchy, let’s go take a closer look.” Munchy led the way to the kitchen. The counter bore no indication of the ring’s whereabouts(下落); however, the flour betrayed faint paw prints, which pointed toward the criminal’s identity. “The cat” I said. “Mr. Jingles must have been playing with the ring, causing it to drop to the ground!” Crawling on the floor, I searched high and low for the ring. My efforts were in vain. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: “Munchy, you’re up!
