For example, Elon Musk’s dream of humans living on other planets was first inspired by Isaac Asimov’s Foundation book series. Let’s explore some of the technologies from science fiction that have been brought to life. ※Remote control Frank Herbert’s 1965 novel Dune features a small flying robot device that is piloted remotely, one of the earliest appearances of drones (无人机) in science fiction. With the first permit for commercial drone use in the US given in 2006, drones became a reality, and can now be found taking on multiple roles. They provide new angles for photography, help farmers maintain their crops and are used in the military. Jeff Bezos has even supported the use of drones to deliver packages for his company Amazon, unveiling(公开) a delivery drone back in 2019. ※From thin air Television show Star Trek, first appearing on screens in 1966, inspired science. One of the most unexpected examples may be the 3D printer. In 2019, researcher at the University of California, Berkeley, US, developed a 3D printer that shapes objects using rays (光线) of light. They have named the printer the “replicator”, the same name as the device in the program to show their inspiration. The device uses light to alter the density (密度) of resin (树脂), changing the material from a liquid to a solid in order to shape the desired object. ※Starting the heart One of the first sci-fi novels, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley has had a huge impact on science. Earl Bakken, the inventor of the pacemaker (起搏器), a device placed into the chest that helps the heart to pump blood using small electrical impulses (脉冲), was inspired by the 1931 movie adaptation of the book. “What intrigued me the most… was the creative spark of Dr Frankenstein’s electricity,” Bakken told the Atlantic. 21. Why does Jeff Bezos want to use drones? A. To transport packages. B. To guard military sites. C. To seed and water crops. D. To snap breathtaking pictures. 22. What do we know about the 3D printer? A. It came into use in 1966. B. It is used to print anything. C. It can change the density of a desired object. D. It has been named after a device in Star Trek. 23. What is the common feature of the technologies mentioned in the article? A. They are all based on electricity. B. They are all invented by famous CEOs. C. They are all brought to life from science fiction. D. They are all used for commercial and medical purposes. B For rescued dogs to get adopted, they need to stand out from the pack. One teenage boy, Darius Brown, has made it his mission to make sure they do — and he does it by providing these dogs with many adorable bow ties (领结) that he sews himself. Darius Brown’s sister, Dazhai, taught him to sew when he was 8. The youngster’s first project, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle-themed bow tie, proved popular with his peers. According to his mom, Joy, her son’s new passion was something of a godsend. Diagnosed at an early age with speech and fine-motor skill disorders, she noticed Darius’s abilities steadily improve as he painstakingly pursued his new craft. “He was so determined. He sat and watched Dazhai for months and took it all in,” Joy told The Washington Post. “He started out cutting fabric and pretty soon, he was running the sewing machine by himself.” When Darius learned about all the family pets left homeless by Hurricane Irma in 2017, he was inspired to use his emerging talent in helping them get adopted. He soon delivered his first batch of 25 rescue bow ties to New York City’s ASPCA animal shelter, which had become a refuge (避难所) for large numbers of dogs and cats displaced by Irma. “I saw how happy the people at the shelter were to get the bow ties and how much the dogs liked them, and I decided to make more,” he said. “I came up with a goal to give bow ties to an animal shelter in every state.” With a little help from his mom, Darius brought his Beaux and Paws brand to life on Facebook and Instagram. The Browns also set up a GoFundMe campaign to help pay for Darius’s sewing supplies. As demand for his “collarful” wares grew, Darius also broadened his operations by starting up his own entrepreneurial website, Sir Darius Brown. 24. How did Darius Brown’s sister help him learn to sew bow ties? A. By teaching him in person. B. By asking others to teach him. C. By gifting him a sewing book. D. By buying him a sewing machine. 25. Why did Darius Brown make bow ties for the animal shelter? A. To earn money. B. To realize his dream. C. To help homeless animals get adopted. D. To become a famous fashion designer. 26. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Darius had a talent for learning languages. B. Darius’ mother assisted him in establishing his brand. C. A GoFundMe campaign was set up to help the homeless dogs. D. The Browns built ASPCA animal shelters as a refuge for dogs and cats. 27. What would be the best title of this text? A. Animals Compete to Find an Owner. B. A Boy Brings New Lives to Homeless Dogs. C. A Family Adopt s Animals with Disabilities. D. Pets in Disasters Need an Animal Shelter to live. C Have you ever had the feeling that you can’t think when there is too much noise around? Did you ever think a fish could experience that feeling too? A recent paper published in Science titled “Soundscape (声景) of the Anthropocene Oceans”, combined over 10,000 scientific papers, confirming that undersea life knows that exact same feeling, more often than not. Anthropogenic (人为的) ocean noise, also known as underwater noise pollution, has created a dramatic impact on marine life due to “human-caused” activity within and neighboring our oceans. Disney Pixar’s animated film Finding Nemo educated us about the ocean, and specifically within the ordinary world of a clown fish. A fact many may not know is that clown fish spend the first part of their lives as larvae, drifting with the current of the ocean until they become strong enough to swim against it. Once they are powerful and strong, they head home in sheltered coral reefs. There is only one drawback — the fish can’t physically see the reef, but they can hear it. The only problem is, if they can’t hear it, will they ever make it home? Our anthropogenic ocean noise such as cargo ships, ship and boat propellers, surfing, deep sea mining, etc. are causing destruction of marine life. According to Time, sound is the sensory signal that travels the farthest through the ocean. Anthropogenic noise drowns out the natural soundscapes, putting marine life under immense stress. Altogether, this stress then affects their general health, disrupts their behavior, physiology, reproduction and, in extreme cases, causes death. Marine life can adapt to noise pollution, however, only if they can escape it. This only renders further complications of straying (使偏离) species from their traditional breeding regions or separating them from their families. Now, what if we told you there is already a solution? Multiple remedies, ideas and designs are currently in the works or already exist to eliminate and reverse the damage of anthropogenic ocean noise. As Time explains, from wind-powered ships to noise-reducing propellers, floating wind turbines and “bubble curtains” that muffle construction noise, the solutions are already available and in some cases, cost-effective. The authors of the paper hope it will catch the attention of policymakers, who historically speaking, have ignored the matter still to this day. Of all the challenges ocean creatures are battling, luckily sound pollution is the easiest compromise humans can make. Once the noise has decreased, marine life will be able to better manage everything else it is up against. 28. How does anthropogenic ocean noise affect clown fish? A. It improves their reproduction rates. B. It promotes their better development. C. It hinders them from finding their home. D. It causes them to give up their migration in the ocean. 29. What does the underlined word “renders” probably mean in paragraph 3? A. leads to B. decides on C. holds back D. results from 30. Which of the following solutions is already available according to paragraph 4? A. The application of relevant laws B. The use of noise control technology. C. The restriction of human activities. D. The attention of local policymakers. 31. What is the text mainly about? A. The beauty of marine ecosystems. B. The urgent need for ocean conservation. C The impact of climate change on ocean noise. D. The harmful effects of human-generated ocean noise. D Intelligence (AI) is showing promise in earthquake prediction, challenging the long-held belief that it is impossible. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, have developed an AI algorithm (算法) that correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week in advance during a trial in China and provided accurate strength calculations for the predicted earthquakes. The research team believes their method succeeded because they stuck with a relatively simple machine learning approach. 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 provided its prediction by listening for signs of incoming earthquakes within the background rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth. This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction. “You don’t see earthquakes coming,” explains Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior research scientist who leads the Texas Seismological Network Program (TexNet). “It’s a matter of milliseconds, and the only thing you can control is how prepared you are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and could help minimize economic and human losses and has the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.” While it is unknown whether the same approach will work at other locations, the researchers are confident that their AI algorithm could produce more accurate predictions if used in areas with reliable earthquake tracking networks. The next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau TexNet has 300 earthquake stations and over six years worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes. Eventually, the authors hope to combine the system with physics-based models. This strategy could prove especially important where data is poor or lacking. “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. 32 What can be concluded from the passage? A. AI can predict the earthquake entirely accurately. B. The researchers have used a complex machine learning approach. C. AI forecast earthquakes by analyzing background sounds in the Earth. D. The researchers have combined statistical features with physics-based models. 33. What does the follow-up research focus on? A. Applying the AI to other fields. B. Conducting tests in different locations C. Building more earthquake stations in Texas. D. Enlarging the database to train the calculation accuracy. 34. Which of the following best describe the earthquake-predicting technology? A. reliable but outdated. B. Effective but expensive. C. Potential and cost-effective. D. groundbreaking and promising. 35. What is the author’s purpose in writing this article? A. To discuss the limitations of the AI algorithm. B. To highlight the challenges of earthquake prediction. C. To promote the University of Texas’s research program. D. To inform the advancements in AI-driven earthquake forecasting. 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。 A few years ago, the scientists Claudia Townsend at the University of Miami and Suzanne Shu at UCLA Anderson School of Management conducted a simple investigation into how aesthetics (美学) influence our investment decisions. They randomly assigned 255 students to receive an annual corporate report. One of these reports was aesthetically pleasing — ____36____. The other report was far less attractive. After leafing through these two reports — both of which contained the exact same factual information — the subjects were asked to estimate the lowest acceptable selling price for shares of the company. ____37____. If investors were rational agents, then the look of the report shouldn’t have mattered —they should be responding only to its content. ____38____ Townsend and Shu found that subjects given the prettier document insisted on an average selling price of $327.01 per share. Those shown less pretty document, meanwhile, concluded that the company’s shares were worth only $162.41. This research suggests that the design of the annual report can significantly influence our sense of value. ____39____. In recent years, scientists have also looked at how aesthetics impacts our perceptions of trust. Do we find prettier Web sites more trustworthy? There’s no logical reason why that would be the case, of course, but the human mind is full of illogical peculiarity. So far, the evidence suggests that the look of a site is highly correlated with our ratings of trust, ____40____. In a paper, researchers showed that our first impressions of a Web site —they showed subjects screen shots for fifty milliseconds, which is too fast for conscious awareness —shaped our subsequent sense of trustworthiness. A. But it is not true. B. it had high-quality images and a clear layout. C. And this pattern doesn’t apply to other aspects. D. a phenomenon often referred to as “the halo effect”. (光环效应) E. When it comes to user assessments of design, function follow s form. F. While Townsend and Shu looked at paper reports, the same logic applies to Web sites. G. Actually, they are required to value the company based on the information in the annual report 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完型填空(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。 Every mountain has a peak.

Just like any other boy of his age, he often lost his temper with his parents. Sometimes he obeyed what they said, but sometimes he would completely ignore them. For example, one day, Ridoy’s mom needed to go shopping for some ingredients for cooking and she asked Ridoy to help look after his one-year-old sister. But Ridoy just blurted “no way”, slapped the door and locked himself into his bedroom. There was another time when Ridoy’s dad urgently needed Ridoy to fetch a pair of fliers for him when he was fixing his bike. Ridoy just refused without thinking. But Ridoy’s parents did not worry a lot since this was very common in kids. It was an unexpected holiday announced by the school of Ridoy and he had a five-day holiday. For the first two days, he spent a good time with his mother. She took him for outings. They went to the beach and amusement parks, and had delicious dining. She cooked his favorite foods and played with him. Three days were left and Ridoy’s mother wanted to clean the house, which she intended to involve Ridoy in. To her surprise, he accepted without hesitation. With the help of Ridoy, the house instantly became very tidy and the floor shone like a mirror. Everything she asked him to do during the three days was done to perfection. Although she was astonished by his behavior, a delicious sweetness well up in Ridoy’s mom’s heart. While she was cooking the dinner meal on the fifth day, Ridoy gave her a piece of paper written by him. Since his mom was busy cooking, she asked him to place the paper on the dining table. After cooking the meals, she took the paper left by his son. The piece of paper contained the following list: Cutting grass in the garden -$2 Cleaning the house -$3; Taking care of my sister -$3; Removing the garbage -$ 2; … In total, you owe me $20 She was literally shocked, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The boy was in tears when reading the paper. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 景德镇市2024届高三第三次质检试题 英语 注意事项： 1.本试卷分为第一卷(选择题)和第二卷(非选择题)两部分。 2.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上并贴好条形码。 3.选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。答在试题卷上无效。 4.非选择题用0.5毫米黑色的签字笔或黑色墨水钢笔直接答在答题卡上相应的题号内。 5.考试结束，监考人员将答题卡收回。 第一节 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does Anna like doing?

The type of rock climbing. B. The requirements for rock climbing. C. The popularity of rock climbing. 18. What do we know about rock climbing? A. Its safety factor is higher than people think. B. It’s the most popular outdoor sport in the world. C. It has very high requirements for participants. 19. Which type of climbing should a beginner choose? A. Free Soloing. B. Traditional climbing. C. Sports climbing. 20. Why is traditional climbing considered “green climbing”? A. The equipment it needs is environmentally friendly. B. It will not do harm to the natural rock wall. C. The climbers don’t use any equipment at all. 【答案】17. C 18. A 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【原文】As a sport, rock climbing does involve fewer people than popular sports like basketball and football, but now it is gradually moving towards the public. About 9 million people go rock climbing in the United States, and millions more take part in the sport around the world. When it comes to rock climbing, it seems that people’s first impression is dangerous. However, most rock climbing will improve safety through various equipment and protective measures. Rock climbing is a zero-risk sport as long as it is properly protected. Rock climbing requires participants to mobilize their body muscles and use their core strength to climb very high rocks or walls. There are several types of rock climbing, among which free climbing can be divided into sports climbing and traditional climbing. Sports climbing is climbing on a route where safety. Protection points have been set. This kind of climbing is very safe and easy to carry out. It is mainly used for competitive competitions, athlete training and beginner experience. Traditional climbing is climbing on the route without any protective measures in advance. Compared with other types. This kind of climbing is more dangerous and requires the climbers to have rich experience in using equipment and climbing. In principle, no equipment will be left behind during the entire climbing process and no rock wall surface will be damaged. Therefore, traditional climbing can be regarded as a green climbing way. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Sometimes it takes a work of art to give the inspiration for advances in science. For example, Elon Musk’s dream of humans living on other planets was first inspired by Isaac Asimov’s Foundation book series. Let’s explore some of the technologies from science fiction that have been brought to life. ※Remote control Frank Herbert’s 1965 novel Dune features a small flying robot device that is piloted remotely, one of the earliest appearances of drones (无人机) in science fiction. With the first permit for commercial drone use in the US given in 2006, drones became a reality, and can now be found taking on multiple roles. They provide new angles for photography, help farmers maintain their crops and are used in the military. Jeff Bezos has even supported the use of drones to deliver packages for his company Amazon, unveiling(公开) a delivery drone back in 2019. ※From thin air Television show Star Trek, first appearing on screens in 1966, inspired science. One of the most unexpected examples may be the 3D printer. In 2019, researcher at the University of California, Berkeley, US, developed a 3D printer that shapes objects using rays (光线) of light. They have named the printer the “replicator”, the same name as the device in the program to show their inspiration. The device uses light to alter the density (密度) of resin (树脂), changing the material from a liquid to a solid in order to shape the desired object. ※Starting the heart One of the first sci-fi novels, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley has had a huge impact on science. Earl Bakken, the inventor of the pacemaker (起搏器), a device placed into the chest that helps the heart to pump blood using small electrical impulses (脉冲), was inspired by the 1931 movie adaptation of the book. “What intrigued me the most… was the creative spark of Dr Frankenstein’s electricity,” Bakken told the Atlantic. 21. Why does Jeff Bezos want to use drones? A. To transport packages. B. To guard military sites. C. To seed and water crops. D. To snap breathtaking pictures. 22. What do we know about the 3D printer? A. It came into use in 1966. B. It is used to print anything. C. It can change the density of a desired object. D. It has been named after a device in Star Trek. 23. What is the common feature of the technologies mentioned in the article? A. They are all based on electricity. B They are all invented by famous CEOs. C. They are all brought to life from science fiction. D. They are all used for commercial and medical purposes. 【答案】21. A 22. D 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科幻作品中预见并启发现实科技发展的三个案例。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章※Remote control部分“Jeff Bezos has even supported the use of drones to deliver packages for his company Amazon, unveiling a delivery drone back in 2019.(杰夫·贝佐斯甚至支持使用无人机为他的公司亚马逊投递包裹，并在2019年展示了送货无人机)”可知，杰夫·贝佐斯想使用无人机来运送包裹。故选A项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章※From thin air部分“Television show Star Trek, first appearing on screens in 1966, inspired science. One of the most unexpected examples may be the 3D printer.(1966年首次出现在屏幕上的电视节目《星际迷航》启发了科学。最意想不到的例子之一可能是3D打印机)”及“They have named the printer the “replicator”, the same name as the device in the program to show their inspiration.(他们将这台打印机命名为“replicator”，与节目中的设备同名，以展示他们的灵感来源)”可知，3D打印机是以《星际迷航》中的一个设备命名的。故选D项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Let’s explore some of the technologies from science fiction that have been brought to life.(让我们探索一些从科幻小说中变为现实的技术)”可知，这些技术的共同特征是从科幻小说中得到灵感并被实现。故选C项。 B For rescued dogs to get adopted, they need to stand out from the pack. One teenage boy, Darius Brown, has made it his mission to make sure they do — and he does it by providing these dogs with many adorable bow ties (领结) that he sews himself. Darius Brown’s sister, Dazhai, taught him to sew when he was 8. The youngster’s first project, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle-themed bow tie, proved popular with his peers. According to his mom, Joy, her son’s new passion was something of a godsend. Diagnosed at an early age with speech and fine-motor skill disorders, she noticed Darius’s abilities steadily improve as he painstakingly pursued his new craft. “He was so determined. He sat and watched Dazhai for months and took it all in,” Joy told The Washington Post. “He started out cutting fabric and pretty soon, he was running the sewing machine by himself.” When Darius learned about all the family pets left homeless by Hurricane Irma in 2017, he was inspired to use his emerging talent in helping them get adopted. He soon delivered his first batch of 25 rescue bow ties to New York City’s ASPCA animal shelter, which had become a refuge (避难所) for large numbers of dogs and cats displaced by Irma. “I saw how happy the people at the shelter were to get the bow ties and how much the dogs liked them, and I decided to make more,” he said. “I came up with a goal to give bow ties to an animal shelter in every state.” With a little help from his mom, Darius brought his Beaux and Paws brand to life on Facebook and Instagram. The Browns also set up a GoFundMe campaign to help pay for Darius’s sewing supplies. As demand for his “collarful” wares grew, Darius also broadened his operations by starting up his own entrepreneurial website, Sir Darius Brown. 24. How did Darius Brown’s sister help him learn to sew bow ties? A. By teaching him in person. B. By asking others to teach him. C. By gifting him a sewing book. D. By buying him a sewing machine. 25. Why did Darius Brown make bow ties for the animal shelter? A. To earn money. B. To realize his dream. C. To help homeless animals get adopted. D. To become a famous fashion designer. 26. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Darius had a talent for learning languages. B. Darius’ mother assisted him in establishing his brand. C. A GoFundMe campaign was set up to help the homeless dogs. D. The Browns built ASPCA animal shelters as a refuge for dogs and cats. 27. What would be the best title of this text? A. Animals Compete to Find an Owner. B. A Boy Brings New Lives to Homeless Dogs. C. A Family Adopt s Animals with Disabilities. D. Pets in Disasters Need an Animal Shelter to live. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了一个名叫Darius Brown的少年，他通过自己缝制的领结帮助流浪狗获得领养，并且创立了自己的品牌。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Darius Brown’s sister, Dazhai, taught him to sew when he was 8.(Darius Brown的姐姐，Dazhai，在他8岁时教会了他缝纫。)”可知，他的首个项目是一个以忍者神龟为主题的领结，这在他的同龄人中非常受欢迎。故选A项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“When Darius learned about all the family pets left homeless by Hurricane Irma in 2017, he was inspired to use his emerging talent in helping them get adopted. (当达里乌斯了解到2017年飓风艾尔玛导致许多家庭宠物无家可归时，他受到启发，决定利用他日益增长的才能来帮助它们被领养。)”可知，他希望通过自己的技能帮助这些动物被领养。故选C项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“With a little help from his mom, Darius brought his Beaux and Paws brand to life on Facebook and Instagram.(在他妈妈的帮助下，Darius在Facebook和Instagram上让他的Beaux and Paws品牌活跃起来。)”以及“The Browns also set up a GoFundMe campaign to help pay for Darius’s sewing supplies.(布朗一家还设立了一个GoFundMe众筹活动来帮助支付Darius的缝纫材料费用。)”可知，他的妈妈给了他很多帮助，故选B项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“One teenage boy, Darius Brown, has made it his mission to make sure they do —and he does it by providing these dogs with many adorable bow ties (领结) that he sews himself. (一个名叫达里乌斯·布朗的少年，已经将确保这些流浪狗能够脱颖而出作为自己的使命——他通过自己缝制的许多可爱的领结来实现这一点。)”以及全文可知，文章讲述了Darius Brown如何通过缝制领结帮助无家可归的狗获得新生活，并且创立了自己的品牌。因此，最佳标题应该是B Boy Brings New Lives to Homeless Dogs(一个男孩为无家可归的狗带来新生活)。故选B项。 C Have you ever had the feeling that you can’t think when there is too much noise around? Did you ever think a fish could experience that feeling too? A recent paper published in Science titled “Soundscape (声景) of the Anthropocene Oceans”, combined over 10,000 scientific papers, confirming that undersea life knows that exact same feeling, more often than not. Anthropogenic (人为的) ocean noise, also known as underwater noise pollution, has created a dramatic impact on marine life due to “human-caused” activity within and neighboring our oceans. Disney Pixar’s animated film Finding Nemo educated us about the ocean, and specifically within the ordinary world of a clown fish. A fact many may not know is that clown fish spend the first part of their lives as larvae, drifting with the current of the ocean until they become strong enough to swim against it. Once they are powerful and strong, they head home in sheltered coral reefs. There is only one drawback — the fish can’t physically see the reef, but they can hear it. The only problem is, if they can’t hear it, will they ever make it home? Our anthropogenic ocean noise, such as cargo ships, ship and boat propellers, surfing, deep sea mining, etc. are causing destruction of marine life. According to Time, sound is the sensory signal that travels the farthest through the ocean. Anthropogenic noise drowns out the natural soundscapes, putting marine life under immense stress. Altogether, this stress then affects their general health, disrupts their behavior, physiology, reproduction and, in extreme cases, causes death. Marine life can adapt to noise pollution, however, only if they can escape it. This only renders further complications of straying (使偏离) species from their traditional breeding regions or separating them from their families. Now, what if we told you there is already a solution? Multiple remedies, ideas and designs are currently in the works or already exist to eliminate and reverse the damage of anthropogenic ocean noise. As Time explains, from wind-powered ships to noise-reducing propellers, floating wind turbines and “bubble curtains” that muffle construction noise, the solutions are already available and in some cases, cost-effective. The authors of the paper hope it will catch the attention of policymakers, who historically speaking, have ignored the matter still to this day. Of all the challenges ocean creatures are battling, luckily sound pollution is the easiest compromise humans can make. Once the noise has decreased, marine life will be able to better manage everything else it is up against. 28. How does anthropogenic ocean noise affect clown fish? A. It improves their reproduction rates. B. It promotes their better development. C. It hinders them from finding their home. D. It causes them to give up their migration in the ocean. 29. What does the underlined word “renders” probably mean in paragraph 3? A. leads to B. decides on C. holds back D. results from 30. Which of the following solutions is already available according to paragraph 4? A. The application of relevant laws B. The use of noise control technology. C. The restriction of human activities. D. The attention of local policymakers. 31. What is the text mainly about? A. The beauty of marine ecosystems. B. The urgent need for ocean conservation. C. The impact of climate change on ocean noise. D. The harmful effects of human-generated ocean noise. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了人为海洋噪音对海洋生物造成的影响，以及目前存在的解决方案和对未来政策制定者的呼吁。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“There is only one drawback —the fish can’t physically see the reef, but they can hear it. The only problem is, if they can’t hear it, will they ever make it home?（只有一个缺点——鱼不能看到珊瑚礁，但它们可以听到它。唯一的问题是，如果他们听不到，他们还能回家吗？）”可知，人为的海洋噪音会阻碍小丑鱼找到回家的路。故选 C 项。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Marine life can adapt to noise pollution, however, only if they can escape it. This only renders further complications of straying (使偏离) species from their traditional breeding regions or separating them from their families.（然而，海洋生物只有在能够逃脱噪音污染的情况下才能适应它。这只会导致物种偏离传统繁殖区域或与家人分离的进一步复杂化。）”可知，海洋生物会因为噪音污染而偏离传统繁殖区域或与家人分离，这是噪音污染带来的结果。由此可推知，划线单词“renders”的意思是“导致”，与选项 A 意思接近。故选 A 项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“As Time explains, from wind-powered ships to noise-reducing propellers, floating wind turbines and “bubble curtains” that muffle construction noise, the solutions are already available and in some cases, cost-effective.（正如《时代》杂志所解释的那样，从风力驱动的船只到降低噪音的螺旋桨、漂浮的风力涡轮机和抑制建筑噪音的“气泡窗帘”，这些解决方案已经有了，而且在某些情况下，还很划算。）”可知，已经有一些噪音控制技术可以用来减少人为的海洋噪音。故选 B 项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段“Anthropogenic (人为的) ocean noise, also known as underwater noise pollution, has created a dramatic impact on marine life due to “human-caused” activity within and neighboring our oceans.（人为的海洋噪音，也被称为水下噪音污染，由于在我们的海洋内部和邻近海域的“人为”活动，已经对海洋生物造成了巨大的影响。）”指出了人为的海洋噪音对海洋生物的影响。文章第二段至第四段通过讲述小丑鱼的例子和海洋生物对噪音的适应性，进一步说明了噪音污染对海洋生物的危害。文章最后一段提出了一些已经存在的解决方案。由此可知，文章主要讲述的是人为产生的海洋噪音的有害影响。故选 D 项。 D Intelligence (AI) is showing promise in earthquake prediction, challenging the long-held belief that it is impossible. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, have developed an AI algorithm (算法) that correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week in advance during a trial in China and provided accurate strength calculations for the predicted earthquakes. The research team believes their method succeeded because they stuck with a relatively simple machine learning approach. 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 provided its prediction by listening for signs of incoming earthquakes within the background rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth. This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction. “You don’t see earthquakes coming,” explains Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior research scientist who leads the Texas Seismological Network Program (TexNet). “It’s a matter of milliseconds, and the only thing you can control is how prepared you are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and could help minimize economic and human losses and has the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.” While it is unknown whether the same approach will work at other locations, the researchers are confident that their AI algorithm could produce more accurate predictions if used in areas with reliable earthquake tracking networks. The next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau TexNet has 300 earthquake stations and over six years worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes. Eventually, the authors hope to combine the system with physics-based models. This strategy could prove especially important where data is poor or lacking. “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. 32. What can be concluded from the passage? A. AI can predict the earthquake entirely accurately. B. The researchers have used a complex machine learning approach. C. AI forecast earthquakes by analyzing background sounds in the Earth. D. The researchers have combined statistical features with physics-based models. 33. What does the follow-up research focus on? A. Applying the AI to other fields. B. Conducting tests in different locations C. Building more earthquake stations in Texas. D. Enlarging the database to train the calculation accuracy. 34. Which of the following best describe the earthquake-predicting technology? A. reliable but outdated. B. Effective but expensive. C. Potential and cost-effective. D. groundbreaking and promising. 35. What is the author’s purpose in writing this article? A. To discuss the limitations of the AI algorithm. B. To highlight the challenges of earthquake prediction. C. To promote the University of Texas’s research program. D. To inform the advancements in AI-driven earthquake forecasting. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的研究人员开发的一种人工智能算法，这种算法在中国的一次试验中成功预测了70%的地震，并能提前一周准确计算出预测地震的强度。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Once trained, the AI provided its prediction by listening for signs of incoming earthquakes within the background rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth.（一旦经过训练，人工智能就会通过监听地球背景隆隆声中即将到来的地震迹象来提供预测。）”可知，人工智能通过分析地球背景声音中的迹象来预测地震。C选项“AI forecast earthquakes by analyzing background sounds in the Earth.”符合文章内容。故选C项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau TexNet has 300 earthquake stations and over six years worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes.（下一步是在德克萨斯州测试人工智能，因为德州大学的 Bureau TexNet 拥有 300 个地震台站和超过 6 年的连续记录，使其成为进行这些测试的理想地点。）”可知，后续研究的重点是在不同的地点进行测试。B选项“Conducting tests in different locations”符合文章内容。故选B项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段第一句“This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction.（这项工作显然是人工智能驱动地震预测研究的一个里程碑。）”和最后一句“Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and could help minimize economic and human losses and has the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.（即使准确率只有 70%，这也是一个巨大的结果，有助于将经济和人员损失降到最低，并有可能显著改善全球的地震准备工作。）”可知，作者认为地震预测技术具有突破性和发展前景。D选项“groundbreaking and promising”符合文章内容。故选D项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段第一句“Intelligence (AI) is showing promise in earthquake prediction, challenging the long-held belief that it is impossible.（人工智能在地震预测方面显示出了前景，挑战了长期以来认为这是不可能的信念。）”和第三段第一句“This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction.（这项工作显然是人工智能驱动地震预测研究的一个里程碑。）”可知，作者的目的是介绍人工智能在地震预测方面的发展和前景，让读者了解相关信息。D选项“To inform the advancements in AI-driven earthquake forecasting.”符合文章内容。故选D项。 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。 A few years ago, the scientists Claudia Townsend at the University of Miami and Suzanne Shu at UCLA Anderson School of Management conducted a simple investigation into how aesthetics (美学) influence our investment decisions. They randomly assigned 255 students to receive an annual corporate report. One of these reports was aesthetically pleasing — ____36____. The other report was far less attractive. After leafing through these two reports — both of which contained the exact same factual information — the subjects were asked to estimate the lowest acceptable selling price for shares of the company. ____37____. If investors were rational agents, then the look of the report shouldn’t have mattered —they should be responding only to its content. ____38____ Townsend and Shu found that subjects given the prettier document insisted on an average selling price of $327.01 per share. Those shown less pretty document, meanwhile, concluded that the company’s shares were worth only $162.41. This research suggests that the design of the annual report can significantly influence our sense of value. ____39____. In recent years, scientists have also looked at how aesthetics impacts our perceptions of trust. Do we find prettier Web sites more trustworthy? There’s no logical reason why that would be the case, of course, but the human mind is full of illogical peculiarity. So far, the evidence suggests that the look of a site is highly correlated with our ratings of trust, ____40____. In a paper, researchers showed that our first impressions of a Web site —they showed subjects screen shots for fifty milliseconds, which is too fast for conscious awareness —shaped our subsequent sense of trustworthiness. A. But it is not true. B. it had high-quality images and a clear layout. C. And this pattern doesn’t apply to other aspects. D a phenomenon often referred to as “the halo effect”. (光环效应) E. When it comes to user assessments of design, function follow s form. F. While Townsend and Shu looked at paper reports, the same logic applies to Web sites. G. Actually, they are required to value the company based on the information in the annual report 【答案】36. B 37. G 38. A 39. F 40. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究者发现美学影响我们的投资决策，公司年度报告的外观会影响受试者对公司股价的估计，相同的逻辑也适用于网页。 【36题详解】 根据前文“They randomly assigned 255 students to receive an annual corporate report. One of these reports was aesthetically pleasing(他们随机分配了255名学生，让他们听取公司的年度报告。其中一份报告很美观)”和下文“The other report was far less attractive.( 另一份报告远没有那么吸引人。)”可知，这份报告很美观，有吸引力，因此推断B项“它有高质量的图像和清晰的布局。”符合语境，解释了有吸引力的原因，故选B。 【37题详解】 根据前文“the subjects were asked to estimate the lowest acceptable selling price for shares of the company(受试者被要求估计该公司股票的最低可接受售价)”可知，此处是指对公司股票的估价，所以选项G“实际上，他们被要求根据年报中的信息对公司进行估值。”承接上文，符合语境。故选G。 【38题详解】 根据前文“If investors were rational agents, then the look of the report shouldn’t have mattered — they should be responding only to its content.(如果投资者是理性的代理人，那么报告的外观就不重要了——他们应该只对报告的内容做出回应。)”和后文“Townsend and Shu found that subjects given the prettier document insisted on an average selling price of $327.01 per share. Those shown less pretty document, meanwhile, concluded that the company’s shares were worth only $162.41. This research suggests that the design of the annual report can significantly influence our sense of value. (Townsend和Shu发现，给了更漂亮文件的受试者坚持每股327.01美元的平均售价。与此同时，那些显示的文件并不那么漂亮，他们得出的结论是，该公司的股票价值仅为162.41美元。这项研究表明，年度报告的设计可以显著影响我们的价值感。)”可知，此处是指事实并不像前文中提到的那样，所以选项A“但事实并非如此。”切合文意。故选A。 【39题详解】 根据后文“In recent years, scientists have also looked at how aesthetics impacts our perceptions of trust. Do we find prettier Web sites more trustworthy?(近年来，科学家还研究了美学如何影响我们的信任感。我们是否发现更漂亮的网站更值得信赖？)”可知，此处是指相同的逻辑也适用于网页，所以选项F“尽管汤森和舒研究的是纸质报告，同样的逻辑也适用于网站。”切合文意。故选F。 【40题详解】 根据前文“So far, the evidence suggests that the look of a site is highly correlated with our ratings of trust(到目前为止，有证据表明，网站的外观与我们的信任度高度相关)”和后文“In a paper, researchers showed that our first impressions of a Web site — they showed subjects screen shots for fifty milliseconds, which is too fast for conscious awareness — shaped our subsequent sense of trustworthiness.(在一篇论文中，研究人员表明，我们对网站的第一印象——他们向受试者展示了50毫秒的屏幕截图，这对于有意识的意识来说太快了——塑造了我们随后的可信度。)”可知，到目前为止，有证据表明，网站的外观与我们的信任度高度相关，我们对网站的第一印象塑造了我们随后的可信度。选项D“这一现象通常被称为“光环效应”。”符合语境。故选D。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完型填空(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。 Every mountain has a peak.

Just like any other boy of his age, he often lost his temper with his parents. Sometimes he obeyed what they said, but sometimes he would completely ignore them. For example, one day, Ridoy’s mom needed to go shopping for some ingredients for cooking and she asked Ridoy to help look after his one-year-old sister. But Ridoy just blurted “no way”, slapped the door and locked himself into his bedroom. There was another time when Ridoy’s dad urgently needed Ridoy to fetch a pair of fliers for him when he was fixing his bike. Ridoy just refused without thinking. But Ridoy’s parents did not worry a lot since this was very common in kids. It was an unexpected holiday announced by the school of Ridoy and he had a five-day holiday. For the first two days, he spent a good time with his mother. She took him for outings. They went to the beach and amusement parks, and had delicious dining. She cooked his favorite foods and played with him. Three days were left and Ridoy’s mother wanted to clean the house, which she intended to involve Ridoy in. To her surprise, he accepted without hesitation. With the help of Ridoy, the house instantly became very tidy and the floor shone like a mirror. Everything she asked him to do during the three days was done to perfection. Although she was astonished by his behavior, a delicious sweetness well up in Ridoy’s mom’s heart. While she was cooking the dinner meal on the fifth day, Ridoy gave her a piece of paper written by him. Since his mom was busy cooking, she asked him to place the paper on the dining table. After cooking the meals, she took the paper left by his son.

Whenever you were down, I did what I can to cheer you up. For so many years, I have been caring for you like a precious gift. So, my dear son, how much do you owe me? The boy was in tears when reading the paper. How ridiculous he was to charge his mom for doing such tiny things. He rushed to his mom and gave a tight hug that he had never done before. Ridoy murmured, “Mom, I’m sorry for everything!” She took him in her arm and kissed him on the forehead, a warm smile spreading across her face. That day, Ridoy learned his mom’s unconditional love for him.
