B The ability to walk is the sort of thing many people take for granted, but for Ella Weiske, it’s a monumental achievement. Ella was born with cerebral palsy (脑瘫) and requires a wheelchair to get around, yet she always dreamed of walking across the stage to collect her high school diploma on her own two feet. In spring of 2023, Ella finally got that chance! The teenager spent months before her graduation from Ripon High School in Wisconsin building strength and practicing walking on an innovative new device called a Trexo. All of her efforts were worth it when she stepped onto the stage to a standing ovation (起立鼓掌) from teachers and students. Walking on graduation day was important to Ella so her family raised $45,000 with an online fundraiser to buy the Trexo device, which is a wearable robot designed to help children walk. The device is controlled by a tablet, and it helps Ella gently move her legs. She can adjust how much support is needed, walk angles, and speed. Ella says just the feeling of her feet hitting the floor makes her happy, but it’s the independence the device offers that gets her really excited. She dreams of hanging around downtown, going to her brother’s baseball games, and opening up her world with help from her robotic legs. But first, graduation! On the big day, Ella was able to use her Trexo device to walk across the stage with the other members of the class of 2023. The entire school body was on their feet, cheering for her, as she collected her diploma with help from her sister, Liz Weiske. It was an emotional moment for the teachers and students who have rooted for Ella for the past 4 years. Just graduating is an achievement on its own, but Ella’s life-changing walk meant so much to her, and to everyone who knows and loves her. We’re so proud of Ella for working hard to accomplish her goals. 4. What words can best describe Ella Weiske? A. Caring and responsible. B. Honest and reliable. C. Ambitious and hardworking. D. Intelligent and creative. 5. What did Ella gain from the help of the Trexo device? A. A responsibility to help others. B. A sense of living independently. C. An ability to deliver a public speech. D. An opportunity for further education. 6. How did the school staff feel about Ella’s walking on the stage? A. Embarrassing. B. Doubtful. C. Inspiring. D. Romantic. 7. What lesson can we learn from Ella’s experience? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Many hands make light work. C. Misfortune may be an actual blessing. D. Everything is possible to a willing mind. C There’s been an enormous amount of progress in language-generating AI over the past couple of years. OpenAI’s GPT-3, for example, is a language generator that’s been trained on 570 GB of text, and is able to write convincing essays. Google, of course, is working on language generators too, and its latest one helps you write like a legendary poet. Google’s new AI tool, Verse by Verse, allows users to compose a poem using “suggestions” from classic American poets. The AI generates these suggestions based on what it’s collected from reading the poets’ respective oeuvres. That is the program uses machine-learning algorithms (算法) to identify the language patterns of a particular poet’s work, then applies those to text it as the suggestions. The tool works by allowing users to select from 22 American poets for the suggestions; including legends like Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, and Edgar Allen Poe. After a user has selected up to three poets, they then pick the type of poem they’d like to write. The program offers poetic forms including free verse and quatrain (四行诗), and even allows users to select the number of syllables per line. Users then give the program a first line, and AI generates the rest of the poem. The AI makes suggestions line by line, however, making it more interactive than other top language generators out there. As far as results, they’re interesting, but not nearly as impressive as GPT-3’s writings. According to Google engineer Dave Uthus, “The system was trained to have a general understanding of what lines of verse would best follow a previous line of verse. So even if you write on topics not commonly seen in classic poetry, the system will try its best to make lines that are relevant. The widely varying degrees of Verse by Verse output quality show that while good lyrical gems (宝石) may occasionally emerge, further work by the AI team remains to be done.” 8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To introduce a new AI tool for writing poetry. B. To compare different language-generating tools. C. To discuss the progress of language-generators. D. To analyze the latest essays of OpenAI’s GPT-3. 9. What does the underlined word “oeuvres” mean in paragraph 2? A. Suggestions. B. Works. C. Messages. D. Patterns. 10 What can the Verse by Verse tool do? A. Help users appreciate poems. B. Give the program starting lines. C. Generate different poetic forms. D. Compose as good poems as GPT-3. 11. What is Dave Uthus’s attitude to the capability of Verse by Verse tool? A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Puzzled. D. Confident. D Against huge odds, Shikuku Ooko is fighting to save the last remaining ancient forest. When he was in his early 20s, Shikuku Ooko was deeply taken with the Afro-Alpine forests of central Kenya. So much so that he decided to buy 15 acres of woods next to Mount Kenya National Park & Reserve. More than 30 years later Mr. Ooko’s home is one of the few plots still filled with native trees and plants. In contrast, much of the national park has been heavily logged. The Mount Kenya region is remote and delicate, which makes it difficult to safeguard. Though the Kenya Forest Service has made sustainably managing all public forest plantations its second priority, the burden of conservation has fallen on the shoulders of local individuals such as Mr. Ooko. In recent years, herders (牧民) have even built animal pens within legally protected areas. “It’s a bit of an annoying sight,” Mr. Ooko says, “when foreign visitors have to pay a high fee to enter the park but then come across huge herds of sheep and cattle in the delicate environment. The laws protecting that environment are in place, but they are insufficiently enforced because rangers (护林员) at each gate are limited.”. When he’s at home in Naro Moru, Mr. Ooko advocates for tree planting, particularly among kids. “It’s something I grew up doing,” he explains. “When I was young, my dad would give all of us 10young trees to plant and take care of. Somehow, he knew the connections between trees and climate changes.” It’s a practice Mr. Ooko has kept alive despite continuous challenges with climate and cattle; it is not uncommon for sheep and cattle to destroy the young trees that he and his young friends have planted. “We just keep going,” he says. “It’s something I value, and I think we should plant more.” 12. What can we know about Mr. Ooko’s woods? A. They were purchased 20 years ago. B. They suffer from heavy logging. C. They have conserved much wildlife. D. They have been well protected. 13. Why are the laws insufficiently enforced according to Mr. Ooko? A. Because herders need to save cattle. B. Because herders need wood for fire. C. Because there are too many visitors. D. Because there aren’t enough rangers. 14. What can we infer about Mr. Ooko according to the passage? A. He never raises sheep and cattle. B. He was influenced by his father. C. He donated his woods to the park. D. He has made a fortune by planting. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. The Challenges from Climate Changes B. The Introduction to Mount Kenya Park C. The Fight to Save Mount Kenya’s Forests D. The Connection between People and Nature 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项.

Her family had faced financial struggles since her father’s business went down, leaving them in debt. To make matters worse, Emily's mother had fallen ill, adding medical bills to their list of concerns. Despite these challenges, Emily refused to let adversity define her. She worked tirelessly after school to support her family and kept up with her studies, determined to secure a scholarship for college. One day, as she was browsing the internet for potential scholarship opportunities, Emily came across an article about a local charity event that offered a full scholarship to the winner of a talent competition. Without hesitation, she decided to enter the talent competition. Emily was an accomplished pianist, having practiced piano for hours every day throughout her childhood. She poured her heart into practicing for the competition, hoping it would be her ticket to a better future. On the day of the competition, Emily felt a mix of nerves and excitement. She watched as other contestants showcased their talents—some sang, others danced, and a few of the contestants played instruments. When it was her turn, Emily took a deep breath and began to play. Her fingers moved gracefully over the keys, and the melody filled the room. She was nearly absorbed in the pieces that she had practiced hundreds of times. As the last note echoed, the audience erupted in applause. The judges discussed for a while before finally announcing the winner. To Emily’s dismay, she didn’t win the scholarship. The judges praised her performance but said they were looking for something “different” this year. Emily left the event feeling defeated, wondering when she would ever escape her difficult circumstances. Despite not winning the scholarship, Emily realized that sometimes, when one door closes, another opens. Her perseverance and determination had led her to a path she never could have imagined. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As she walked home, lost in thought, a stranger approached her. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Emily was overjoyed and gratefully accepted the judge’s offer. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 辽宁高二 6 月联考 英 语 试 题 注意事项： 1.答卷前、考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 考试时间为120分钟，满分150分 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

Ella was born with cerebral palsy (脑瘫) and requires a wheelchair to get around, yet she always dreamed of walking across the stage to collect her high school diploma on her own two feet. In spring of 2023, Ella finally got that chance! The teenager spent months before her graduation from Ripon High School in Wisconsin building strength and practicing walking on an innovative new device called a Trexo. All of her efforts were worth it when she stepped onto the stage to a standing ovation (起立鼓掌) from teachers and students. Walking on graduation day was important to Ella so her family raised $45,000 with an online fundraiser to buy the Trexo device, which is a wearable robot designed to help children walk. The device is controlled by a tablet, and it helps Ella gently move her legs. She can adjust how much support is needed, walk angles, and speed. Ella says just the feeling of her feet hitting the floor makes her happy, but it’s the independence the device offers that gets her really excited. She dreams of hanging around downtown, going to her brother’s baseball games, and opening up her world with help from her robotic legs. But first, graduation! On the big day, Ella was able to use her Trexo device to walk across the stage with the other members of the class of 2023. The entire school body was on their feet, cheering for her, as she collected her diploma with help from her sister, Liz Weiske. It was an emotional moment for the teachers and students who have rooted for Ella for the past 4 years. Just graduating is an achievement on its own, but Ella’s life-changing walk meant so much to her, and to everyone who knows and loves her. We’re so proud of Ella for working hard to accomplish her goals. 4. What words can best describe Ella Weiske? A. Caring and responsible. B. Honest and reliable. C. Ambitious and hardworking. D. Intelligent and creative. 5. What did Ella gain from the help of the Trexo device? A. A responsibility to help others. B. A sense of living independently. C. An ability to deliver a public speech. D. An opportunity for further education. 6. How did the school staff feel about Ella’s walking on the stage? A. Embarrassing. B. Doubtful. C. Inspiring. D. Romantic. 7. What lesson can we learn from Ella’s experience? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Many hands make light work. C. Misfortune may be an actual blessing. D. Everything is possible to a willing mind. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述在Trexo设备的帮助下，患有脑瘫的Ella经过努力实现了走过舞台独自领取高中文凭的梦想。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“All of her efforts were worth it when she stepped onto the stage to a standing ovation (起立鼓掌) from teachers and students.(当她走上舞台时，老师和学生起立鼓掌，她所有的努力都是值得的。)”及第四段“She dreams of hanging around downtown, going to her brother’s baseball games, and opening up her world with help from her robotic legs.(她梦想着在市中心闲逛，去看哥哥的棒球比赛，在机器人腿的帮助下打开自己的世界。)” 可知，Ella Weiske很努力，也很有雄心壮志。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Ella says just the feeling of her feet hitting the floor makes her happy, but it’s the independence the device offers that gets her really excited.(Ella说，光是脚踩在地板上的感觉就让她很开心，但让她真正兴奋的是这个设备提供的独立性。)”可知，Trexo设备让Ella可以行走，她更高兴的是这种设备提供的独立性。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The entire school body was on their feet, cheering for her, as she collected her diploma with help from her sister, Liz Weiske.

OpenAI’s GPT-3, for example, is a language generator that’s been trained on 570 GB of text, and is able to write convincing essays. Google, of course, is working on language generators too, and its latest one helps you write like a legendary poet. Google’s new AI tool, Verse by Verse, allows users to compose a poem using “suggestions” from classic American poets. The AI generates these suggestions based on what it’s collected from reading the poets’ respective oeuvres. That is the program uses machine-learning algorithms (算法) to identify the language patterns of a particular poet’s work, then applies those to text it as the suggestions. The tool works by allowing users to select from 22 American poets for the suggestions; including legends like Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, and Edgar Allen Poe. After a user has selected up to three poets, they then pick the type of poem they’d like to write. The program offers poetic forms including free verse and quatrain (四行诗), and even allows users to select the number of syllables per line. Users then give the program a first line, and AI generates the rest of the poem. The AI makes suggestions line by line, however, making it more interactive than other top language generators out there. As far as results, they’re interesting, but not nearly as impressive as GPT-3’s writings. According to Google engineer Dave Uthus, “The system was trained to have a general understanding of what lines of verse would best follow a previous line of verse. So even if you write on topics not commonly seen in classic poetry, the system will try its best to make lines that are relevant. The widely varying degrees of Verse by Verse output quality show that while good lyrical gems (宝石) may occasionally emerge, further work by the AI team remains to be done.” 8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To introduce a new AI tool for writing poetry. B. To compare different language-generating tools. C. To discuss the progress of language-generators. D. To analyze the latest essays of OpenAI’s GPT-3. 9. What does the underlined word “oeuvres” mean in paragraph 2? A. Suggestions. B. Works. C. Messages. D. Patterns. 10. What can the Verse by Verse tool do? A. Help users appreciate poems. B. Give the program starting lines. C. Generate different poetic forms. D. Compose as good poems as GPT-3. 11. What is Dave Uthus’s attitude to the capability of Verse by Verse tool? A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Puzzled. D. Confident. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为说明文，介绍谷歌的新人工智能工具可帮助人们像一位传奇诗人一样写诗。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Google, of course, is working on language generators too, and its latest one helps you write like a legendary poet.(当然，谷歌也在开发语言生成器，其最新的一个功能是帮助你像传奇诗人一样写作)”可知，首段的功能是引出文章话题——一种新的人工智能写诗工具，故选A。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“That is the program uses machine-learning algorithms (算法) to identify the language patterns of a particular poet’s work, then applies those to text it as the suggestions.(也就是说，该程序使用机器学习算法来识别特定诗人作品的语言模式，然后将其作为建议应用到文本中)”可知，人工智能根据从阅读诗人的作品中收集的信息生成这些建议，故划线词意思是“作品”。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The program offers poetic forms including free verse and quatrain (四行诗), and even allows users to select the number of syllables per line.(该程序提供了包括自由诗和四行诗在内的诗歌形式，甚至允许用户选择每行的音节数)”可知，该程序提供多种诗歌形式，甚至允许用户选择每行的音节数，故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The widely varying degrees of Verse by Verse output quality show that while good lyrical gems (宝石) may occasionally emerge, further work by the AI team remains to be done.(每句歌词的输出质量差异很大，这表明虽然偶尔会出现好的抒情诗歌，但人工智能团队的进一步工作仍有待完成)”可知，虽然好的抒情诗歌偶尔会出现，但人工智能团队的进一步工作仍有待完成，可推理出Dave Uthus的态度是客观的，故选B。 D Against huge odds, Shikuku Ooko is fighting to save the last remaining ancient forest. When he was in his early 20s, Shikuku Ooko was deeply taken with the Afro-Alpine forests of central Kenya. So much so that he decided to buy 15 acres of woods next to Mount Kenya National Park & Reserve. More than 30 years later Mr. Ooko’s home is one of the few plots still filled with native trees and plants. In contrast, much of the national park has been heavily logged. The Mount Kenya region is remote and delicate, which makes it difficult to safeguard. Though the Kenya Forest Service has made sustainably managing all public forest plantations its second priority, the burden of conservation has fallen on the shoulders of local individuals such as Mr. Ooko. In recent years, herders (牧民) have even built animal pens within legally protected areas. “It’s a bit of an annoying sight,” Mr. Ooko says, “when foreign visitors have to pay a high fee to enter the park but then come across huge herds of sheep and cattle in the delicate environment. The laws protecting that environment are in place, but they are insufficiently enforced because rangers (护林员) at each gate are limited.”. When he’s at home in Naro Moru, Mr. Ooko advocates for tree planting, particularly among kids. “It’s something I grew up doing,” he explains. “When I was young, my dad would give all of us 10young trees to plant and take care of. Somehow, he knew the connections between trees and climate changes.” It’s a practice Mr. Ooko has kept alive despite continuous challenges with climate and cattle; it is not uncommon for sheep and cattle to destroy the young trees that he and his young friends have planted. “We just keep going,” he says. “It’s something I value, and I think we should plant more.” 12. What can we know about Mr. Ooko’s woods? A. They were purchased 20 years ago. B. They suffer from heavy logging. C. They have conserved much wildlife. D. They have been well protected. 13. Why are the laws insufficiently enforced according to Mr. Ooko? A. Because herders need to save cattle. B. Because herders need wood for fire. C. Because there are too many visitors. D. Because there aren’t enough rangers. 14. What can we infer about Mr. Ooko according to the passage? A. He never raises sheep and cattle. B. He was influenced by his father. C. He donated his woods to the park. D. He has made a fortune by planting. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. The Challenges from Climate Changes B. The Introduction to Mount Kenya Park C. The Fight to Save Mount Kenya’s Forests D. The Connection between People and Nature 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了在巨大的困难下，Shikuku Ooko正在努力拯救仅存的古老森林。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“More than 30 years later Mr. Ooko’s home is one of the few plots still filled with native trees and plants.(30多年后，Ooko先生的家是为数不多的仍然种植着本地树木和植物的地块之一。)”可知，这片树林得到了很好的保护。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The laws protecting that environment are in place, but they are insufficiently enforced because rangers (护林员) at each gate are limited.(保护环境的法律已经到位，但执行力度不够，因为每个大门的护林员数量有限。)”可知，由于没有足够的护林员，这些法律的执行力度不够。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“When I was young, my dad would give all of us 10 young trees to plant and take care of.( 在我小的时候，我爸爸会给我们每人10棵小树，让我们去种植和照顾。)”可知，Mr. Ooko的行为深受父亲的影响。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Against huge odds, Shikuku Ooko is fighting to save the last remaining ancient forest.(在巨大的困难下，Shikuku Ooko正在努力拯救仅存的古老森林。)”可知，文章主要讲述了肯尼亚小伙子Shikuku Ooko拯救肯尼亚山森林的斗争。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项.

Her family had faced financial struggles since her father’s business went down, leaving them in debt. To make matters worse, Emily's mother had fallen ill, adding medical bills to their list of concerns. Despite these challenges, Emily refused to let adversity define her. She worked tirelessly after school to support her family and kept up with her studies, determined to secure a scholarship for college. One day, as she was browsing the internet for potential scholarship opportunities, Emily came across an article about a local charity event that offered a full scholarship to the winner of a talent competition. Without hesitation, she decided to enter the talent competition. Emily was an accomplished pianist, having practiced piano for hours every day throughout her childhood. She poured her heart into practicing for the competition, hoping it would be her ticket to a better future. On the day of the competition, Emily felt a mix of nerves and excitement. She watched as other contestants showcased their talents—some sang, others danced, and a few of the contestants played instruments. When it was her turn, Emily took a deep breath and began to play. Her fingers moved gracefully over the keys, and the melody filled the room. She was nearly absorbed in the pieces that she had practiced hundreds of times. As the last note echoed, the audience erupted in applause. The judges discussed for a while before finally announcing the winner. To Emily’s dismay, she didn’t win the scholarship. The judges praised her performance but said they were looking for something “different” this year. Emily left the event feeling defeated, wondering when she would ever escape her difficult circumstances. Despite not winning the scholarship, Emily realized that sometimes, when one door closes, another opens. Her perseverance and determination had led her to a path she never could have imagined. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As she walked home, lost in thought, a stranger approached her. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Emily was overjoyed and gratefully accepted the judge’s offer. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As she walked home, lost in thought, a stranger approached her. Emily’s heart raced as she tried to figure out what the stranger wanted. The man introduced himself as Mr. Thompson, one of the judges at the competition. He told Emily that although she hadn’t won, her performance had deeply moved him. Mr. Thompson owned a music school and offered Emily a part-time job teaching piano to children. He believed in her talent and wanted to help her pursue her dream. Emily was overjoyed and gratefully accepted the judge's offer. She began teaching at the music school, where she discovered a passion for mentoring young musicians. In time, Emily’s reputation grew, and more students sought her out. With the income from her new job and the money she saved from winning various local competitions, Emily was able to help her family pay off their debts and cover her mother’s medical expenses. Emily always remembered the lessons she learned during those challenging times—that sometimes, the greatest victory comes from the most difficult battle. 【解析】 【导语】本文以故事发展的顺序为线索展开，讲述了17岁少女艾米丽，因为家境贫困和母亲生病，她努力工作支持家庭，同时积极学习，期望能获得大学奖学金。她得知一场本地慈善活动举办的才艺比赛有奖学金，便决定参加，然而最终未能获得奖学金，尽管非常失望，但艾米丽并没有放弃的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当她走回家陷入沉思时，一个陌生人走近了她。”可知，第一段可描写“这个人自我介绍是比赛的评委之一，艾米丽的表演打动了他，他拥有一所音乐学校，想为艾米丽提供一份兼职工作”的相关细节。 ②由第二段首句内容“艾米丽喜出望外，感激地接受了评委的提议。”可知，第二段可描写“艾米丽开始在音乐学校教书，慢慢地名气越来越大，收入也增加了，她帮助家人还清债务并支付她母亲的医疗费用”的相关细节。 2.续写线索：艾米丽想知道他是谁——陌生人自我介绍——他被艾米丽的表演打动——他为艾米丽提供了一份兼职工作——艾米丽接受帮助——全身心投入工作——出名并赚更多的钱——还清债务并支付医疗费用——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①给某人提供某物：offer sb sth/supply sb with sth/provide sb with sth ②帮助： help/assist 情绪类 ①使感动：move/touch ②感激地：gratefully/thankfully 【点睛】【高分句型1】Emily’s heart raced as she tried to figure out what the stranger wanted.(使用了as引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】With the income from her new job and the money she saved from winning various local competitions, Emily was able to help her family pay off their debts and cover her mother’s medical expenses.  (使用了with的复合结构和定语从句修饰先行词money) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
