Students will love exploring while also gaining invaluable experience by designing and conducting experiments. Sunscreen Experiment Kids often don’t enjoy being told they need sunscreen, so showing its power through demonstration can help them see its value. This science fair project uses simple white beads (珠子) that change color when exposed to UV rays (紫外线) so children can compare the effectiveness of different sunscreen products. Start this experiment by applying some of each sunscreen type on paper and placing both pieces of paper in direct sunlight for several hours. Sundial (日晷) Experiment Using a sundial to tell time is a fascinating science activity that helps students gain knowledge of shadows and the movement of sunlight across the sky. Through this hands-on experiment, students gain an opportunity to see how people in previous times knew time without clocks or watches. Start this experiment by asking students to identify an outdoor spot that receives sunlight all day, placing a flat board there, tracing the shadows onto it and noting where the shadows will fall at certain points of the day. Mineral Experiment Students learn to identify rocks and minerals through this simple experiment. They use a plate to test the hardness of various common minerals. They also observe how these minerals form crystals (晶体) and how they break apart differently from others. This lesson helps students understand the characteristics and uses of different minerals. Students can even form “companies” and compete to mine different types of rocks with specific features. 1. What is the main purpose of using beads in the sunscreen experiment? A. To compare the prices of sunscreen. B. To show the effectiveness of sunscreen. C. To analyze the impact of sunscreen on skin. D. To demonstrate chemical reactions in sunscreen. 2. How do students begin the sundial experiment? A. By building a sundial from beginning. B. By comparing different types of sundials. C. By measuring the length of their shadows. D. By identifying a sunny spot and using a flat board. 3. What does the mineral experiment allow students to do? A. Observe crystal formation. B. Learn geological history. C. Sell rocks they mine. D. Form companies. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是应用文。文章介绍了几个适合学生做的科学实验。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Sunscreen Experiment下的“This science fair project uses simple white beads (珠子) that change color when exposed to UV rays (紫外线) so children can compare the effectiveness of different sunscreen products.(这个科学展览项目使用简单的白色珠子，当暴露在紫外线下时会改变颜色，这样孩子们就可以比较不同防晒产品的效果)”可知，在防晒实验中使用珠子的主要目的是来展示防晒霜的功效。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Sundial (日晷) Experiment下的“Start this experiment by asking students to identify an outdoor spot that receives sunlight all day, placing a flat board there, tracing the shadows onto it and noting where the shadows will fall at certain points of the day.(实验开始时，让学生们找出一个整天都能接受阳光的户外地点，在那里放一块平板，在上面画出阴影，并注意到阴影在一天中的特定时间会落在哪里)”可知，学生找一个阳光充足的地方，用一块平板来开始日晷实验。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Mineral Experiment下的“They also observe how these minerals form crystals (晶体) and how they break apart differently from others.(他们还观察这些矿物质是如何形成晶体的，以及它们是如何以不同的方式分裂的)”可知，Mineral Experiment允许学生观察晶体形成。故选A项。 B Nilas Corneliussen feels worried when a city turns quiet at night. “I much prefer to be in a dynamic city that never sleeps, and Bangkok gives me that,” said the Swedish-born chef of a Nordic-Asian restaurant in Thailand’s capital. While Thailand had long appealed to him, Corneliussen says he never imagined a career in cooking. Instead, he was drawn to Muay Thai (泰拳), or Thai boxing. On high school breaks, he even traveled solo to Thailand to join Muay Thai training camps. After sustaining a hand injury while boxing, he was forced to give up Muay Thai. However, he didn’t stop thinking about Thailand. The very day after graduating from high school in Sweden, Corneliussen booked a one-way ticket to Bangkok and applied for a study visa. It wasn’t until halfway through his studies that he was inspired by a fellow student and friend who ran small Thai restaurants. However, there was something inside of him that was drawn to culinary arts. “The atmosphere inside the kitchen fascinated me-everyone has to work together to make it happen.” Corneliussen recalled. At the time, the chef didn’t think he could pursue his new passion for cooking in Thailand. Instead, he thought it would be best to go back to his roots and understand the flavors he’d grown up with before cooking anything else, so he finished his studies and moved back to Sweden. Starting out in a restaurant in Stockholm, he practised his skills. In 2019, he won the silver in the Bocuse d’Or, a world-famous international cooking competition, as part of the Swedish team. Despite those successes, he knew he wanted to return to Asia to achieve his dream of culinary arts. In 2022, Corneliussen made the move to a high-end restaurant, which opened the same year, and where he showcased casual Nordic food with Asian influences. “In Thailand, I get this feeling of belonging and connection to the people, food and culture,” he said. 4. What is presented in the first paragraph? A. Corneliussen dislikes working at night. B. Corneliussen feels uneasy in a new city. C. Bangkok is home to Nordic restaurants. D. Bangkok gives Corneliussen the feeling he wants. 5. What mainly made Corneliussen choose cooking as a career? A. His injured hand. B. His inner passion. C. His friends’ support. D. His tiredness of study. 6. How did Corneliussen improve his cooking skills? A. By practising in his motherland. B. By improving diverse dishes in Thailand. C. By attending varieties of cooking competitions. D. By summarizing experience from other cooks. 7. Why did Corneliussen decide to return to Asia? A. To learn Muay Thai. B. To showcase Nordic food. C. To open a high-end restaurant. D. To achieve his dream of culinary arts. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了瑞典出生的厨师Nil as Corneliussen追求烹饪事业的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Nilas Corneliussen feels worried when a city turns quiet at night. “I much prefer to be in a dynamic city that never sleeps, and Bangkok gives me that,” said the Swedish-born chef of a Nordic-Asian restaurant in Thailand’s capital.(当一个城市在夜晚变得安静时，Nilas Corneliussen会感到担忧。“我更喜欢住在一个充满活力的不夜城，而曼谷给了我这种感觉，”这位瑞典出生的厨师说，他在泰国首都经营一家北欧餐厅)”可知，Corneliussen喜欢充满活力的不夜城，而曼谷正好给了他这种感觉。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“However, there was something inside of him that was drawn to culinary arts. “The atmosphere inside the kitchen fascinated me-everyone has to work together to make it happen.” Corneliussen recalled.(然而，他内心深处有一种东西被烹饪艺术所吸引。“厨房里气氛让我着迷——每个人都必须共同努力才能实现这一目标。”Corneliussen回忆道)”可知，主要是他内心对烹饪的喜爱促使他选择了烹饪作为职业。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“At the time, the chef didn’t think he could pursue his new passion for cooking in Thailand. Instead, he thought it would be best to go back to his roots and understand the flavors he’d grown up with before cooking anything else, so he finished his studies and moved back to Sweden. Starting out in a restaurant in Stockholm, he practised his skills. In 2019, he won the silver in the Bocuse d’Or, a world-famous international cooking competition, as part of the Swedish team.(当时，这位厨师认为他无法在泰国追求他对烹饪新热情。相反，他认为最好是回到自己的家乡，在烹饪其他东西之前，先了解一下他从小接触到的味道，所以他完成了学业，搬回了瑞典。从斯德哥尔摩的一家餐馆开始，他练习自己的技能。2019年，他作为瑞典团队的一员，在世界著名的国际烹饪比赛Bocuse d’Or中获得银牌)”可知，他是通过在祖国练习烹饪技能来提高自己的烹饪能力的。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Despite those successes, he knew he wanted to return to Asia to achieve his dream of culinary arts. In 2022, Corneliussen made the move to a high-end restaurant, which opened the same year, and where he showcased casual Nordic food with Asian influences.(尽管取得了这些成功，但他知道自己想回到亚洲，实现烹饪艺术的梦想。2022年，科尼利乌森搬到了一家高端餐厅，并于同年开业，在那里他展示了受亚洲影响的休闲北欧美食)”可知，尽管在瑞典取得了一些成功，但Corneliussen知道他想回到亚洲实现他的烹饪艺术梦想。故选D。 C A new attempt to predict earthquakes with the aid of artificial intelligence (AI) has raised hopes that the technology could one day be used to limit earthquakes’ impact on lives and economies. Developed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin, the AI algorithm correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week before they happened during a seven-month trial in China. The AI was trained to find unusual patterns in real-time seismic data that researchers had paired with the data of previous earthquakes. The outcome was a weekly forecast in which the AI successfully predicted 14 earthquakes within about 200 miles of where it estimated they would happen and at almost exactly the calculated strength. It missed one earthquake and gave eight false warnings. It’s not yet known if the same approach will work at other locations, but the effort is a significant achievement in research for AI-driven earthquake forecasting. “Predicting earthquakes is the ultimate goal,” said a professor, who is a member of the research team. “We’re not yet close to making predictions for anywhere in the world, but what we achieved tells us that what we thought was an impossible problem is solvable in principle.” The researchers said that their method had succeeded by following a relatively simple machine learning approach. The AI was given a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, then told to train itself on a five-year database of seismic recordings. Once trained, the AI gave its forecast by listening for signs of incoming earthquakes among the background rumblings in the Earth. “Our future goal is to combine both physics and data-driven methods to create a generalized system that we can apply anywhere in the world,” said the AI’s lead developer. “The new research is an important step towards achieving that goal.” 8. What do we say about AI predicting earthquakes? A. The rate of accuracy is high. B. It has got proven worldwide. C. The prediction is completely random. D. Earthquakes can be controlled by scientists. 9. Which can best explain the underlined word “seismic” in paragraph 2? A. Related to weather patterns. B. Related to earthquakes. C. Related to volcanic activities. D. Related to ocean currents. 10. What is researchers’ attitude towards AI predicting earthquakes? A. Doubtful. B. Uncertain. C. Optimistic. D. Unfavorable. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. The Development Of Earthquake B. AI’s Role in Predicting Earthquakes C. AI’s Forecast about Natural Disasters D. The Understanding of Earthquake Physics 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了利用人工智能预测地震的新尝试及其取得的成果。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Developed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin, the AI algorithm correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week before they happened during a seven-month trial in China. (由德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的研究人员开发的人工智能算法在中国进行了为期7个月的试验，在地震发生前一周正确预测了70%的地震)”和第二段中“The outcome was a weekly forecast in which the AI successfully predicted 14 earthquakes within about 200 miles of where it estimated they would happen and at almost exactly the calculated strength. (结果是每周一次的预测，人工智能成功地预测了14次地震，地震发生地点在它估计的200英里范围内，强度几乎与计算的完全一致)”可知，人工智能算法成功预测了70%的地震，且能相当准确地预测地震的位置和强度。因此，人工智能预测地震的准确率很高。故选A项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“The AI was trained to find unusual patterns (人工智能被训练来发现不寻常的模式)”和下文“that researchers had paired with the data of previous earthquakes (研究人员将其与之前地震的数据进行了配对)”可推知，人工智能是将实时地震数据与先前地震数据配对，从而发现异常。因此，seismic意为“与地震相关的”。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中研究人员所说的话“Predicting earthquakes is the ultimate goal (预测地震是最终目标)”和“We’re not yet close to making predictions for anywhere in the world, but what we achieved tells us that what we thought was an impossible problem is solvable in principle. (我们还不能预测世界上的任何地方，但我们所取得的成就告诉我们，我们认为不可能解决的问题在原则上是可以解决的)”可知，研究人员认为在全球范围内进行预测虽然曾被认为不可能解决，但现在原则上是可以解决的。因此，研究人员对人工智能预测地震持乐观态度。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“A new attempt to predict earthquakes with the aid of artificial intelligence (AI) has raised hopes that the technology could one day be used to limit earthquakes’ impact on lives and economies. (一项借助人工智能(AI)预测地震的新尝试让人们燃起了希望，这项技术有朝一日可能被用来限制地震对生命和经济的影响)”可知，本文介绍了利用人工智能预测地震的新尝试及其取得的成果。因此，B项“人工智能在预测地震中的作用”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 D Plants have been important to humans since ancient times. They give us food, clothes and shelter. Their beauty brings us happiness, and many plants can also cure us. Recently, scientists found a plant that can better clean polluted air. Scientists at a research institution in the UK studied how well plants can capture (捕获) pollution from cars. Car exhaust fumes (汽车尾气), as well as tire and brake particles, cause many health problems. Since previous research has shown that trees help remove air pollution, researchers decided to test three types of plants: hawthorn, western red cedar, and franchet’s cotoneaster (西南枸子). Researchers found that franchet’s cotoneaster was the best at capturing pollution. This is because of its hairy and complex leaf structure. They also discovered that thick barriers over six feet high were the best at reducing pollution. In areas with heavy traffic, franchet’s cotoneaster absorbed 20% more pollution than the other plants. A co-author of the study said, “We know that in just seven days, a 1-meter length of well-managed thick barrier will capture the same amount of pollution that a car emits (排放) over a 500-mile drive.” The researchers recommend planting franchet’s cotoneaster along busy roads. This is great news for city planners, landscapers, and gardeners. Originally from China, franchet’s cotoneaster is a hardy evergreen that can survive temperatures as low as -23℃. It grows well in the UK and can also grow well in places like California, the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia, and around the Great Lakes. Thanks to this study, franchet’s cotoneaster has shown to be very useful. It allows gardeners and landscapers to help the environment. When these super plants are grown in urban gardens, on streets, and along highways, they will clean the air and add beauty to the surroundings. 12. Which aspect of plants is mainly mentioned in paragraph 1? A. Varieties of plants. B. Living environment. C. Benefits of plants. D. Medical properties. 13. Why is franchet’s cotoneaster effective in capturing pollution? A. It requires less water. B. It is taller than other plants. C. It grows faster than other plants. D. It has hair y and complex leaf structures. 14. What can we infer about franchet’s cotoneaster from paragraph 5? A. They will be planted less by gardeners. B. They will be imported more from China. C. They can adjust to the cold temperature. D. They should be planted in correct places. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph? A. To highlight the environmental benefits of franchet’s cotoneaster. B. To describe the appearance of franchet’s cotoneaster. C. To compare franchet’s cotoneaster with other plants. D. To explain how to plant franchet’s cotoneaster. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了科学家发现西南枸子能更高地清洁被污染的空气。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Plants have been important to humans since ancient times.

One day, she decided to make soup on the stove. As the soup gently cooked on the stove, Fumie went to check on it. In a moment of distraction, she accidentally knocked the pot over, causing the boiling soup to splash onto her hand. The pain was immediate and unbearable, and she quickly realized she had severely burned her skin. Her classmate, who was nearby, saw the accident and quickly called for an ambulance. Within minutes, the ambulance arrived, and an EMT (急救医疗医生), wearing a mask, began to assist her. The EMT helped Fumie stay calm during the 45-minute drive to the hospital, despite her continuously asking for some alleviation of her pain. “Could you do something to ease my pain, please? Could I have a cold pack?” Fumie asked repeatedly. The EMT explained gently but firmly that he couldn’t give her a cold pack because extreme cold might cause further damage to her already injured skin. She had to tolerate the pain until they reached the burn unit. At the hospital, the doctor treating her took a compassionate (有同情心的) approach. He talked to her throughout the treatment process to help distract her from the pain. They chatted about various topics, including her part-time job at a factory, which helped to take her mind off her injuries. Most importantly, the doctor made her know that she was going to be okay. “He had an amazing voice, and just was so calm. He made sure that I got the right treatment,” Fumie remembered. The doctor’s professional and empathetic demeanor made a significant difference in her experience. Fumie was in hospital for four and a half days, receiving excellent care. Two months later, fully recovered, she returned to her part-time job as a receptionist at the factory. However, the story didn’t stop here. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One day, while working at the reception desk, a man approached her. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “I just really wanted to come check on you,” said the EMT. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： One day, while workıng at the reception desk, a man approached her. “Do you remember me?” he asked. Fume looked at him, puzzled, and replied, “No, I’m sorry I don’t.” The man then suggested, “Why don t you look into my eyes and listen to my voice for a bit? Maybe you’ll remember.” Fumie looked at the man’s eyes and listened. Suddenly, she recognized him. He was the EMT from the ambulance ride. Shocked and grateful, she nodded, her heart swelling with appreciation for this stranger who had shown her such kindness in a moment of crisis. “I just really wanted to come check on you,” said the EMT. She expressed her gratitude, saying, “My skin was so painful. You made me feel like it was going to be okay. You made me feel less pain. For that, I am forever grateful.” The EMT smiled warmly, glad to see her well on the road to recovery. He waved goodbye and left, leaving Fumie with a renewed sense of resilience. She realized that even in life’s darkest moments, there are always rays of light and kindness to guide us through. 【解析】 【导语】本文人物为线索展开，讲述了2005年夏，大学生凯瑟琳·福米在住处学做饭时，不慎打翻一锅热汤，严重烫伤手部。同学见状立即呼叫救护车。途中，急救医疗医生虽无法缓解其疼痛，但保持其冷静。到医院后，医生以富有同情心的态度为她治疗，使她感到安心。福米住院四天半后康复，两个月后重返工作岗位。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一天，当她在接待处工作时，一个男人走近她。”可知，第一段可描写陌生人突然到访，福米最终认出是救护车上的急救医生，心中感激不已。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘我真的很想过来看看你，’急救医生说。”可知，第二段可描写医生说明来意并带给福米希望。 2.续写线索：陌生人突然到访——认出急救医生——心中充满了感激——医生说明来意——福米重新振作起来 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①回答：reply/answer ②建议：suggest/advise/propose ③认出：recognize/identify 情绪类 ①困惑的：puzzled/confused ②震惊的：shocked/startled 【点睛】[高分句型1] Shocked and grateful, she nodded, her heart swelling with appreciation for this stranger who had shown her such kindness in a moment of crisis.(运用了形容词作状语和关系代词who引导的限制性定语从句) [高分句型2] He waved goodbye and left, leaving Fumie with a renewed sense of resilience.(运用了现在分词作伴随状语) [高分句型3] She realized that even in life’s darkest moments, there are always rays of light and kindness to guide us through.(运用了连接词that引导宾语从句) 听力：1-5 ABACA 6-10 BCBCA 11-15 BABBC 16-20 BCAAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 黔东南州2023—2024 学年度第二学期期末教学质量检测 高二英语试卷 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 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。 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。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。 例：How much is the shirt?

Students will love exploring while also gaining invaluable experience by designing and conducting experiments. Sunscreen Experiment Kids often don’t enjoy being told they need sunscreen, so showing its power through demonstration can help them see its value. This science fair project uses simple white beads (珠子) that change color when exposed to UV rays (紫外线) so children can compare the effectiveness of different sunscreen products. Start this experiment by applying some of each sunscreen type on paper and placing both pieces of paper in direct sunlight for several hours. Sundial (日晷) Experiment Using a sundial to tell time is a fascinating science activity that helps students gain knowledge of shadows and the movement of sunlight across the sky. Through this hands-on experiment, students gain an opportunity to see how people in previous times knew time without clocks or watches. Start this experiment by asking students to identify an outdoor spot that receives sunlight all day, placing a flat board there, tracing the shadows onto it and noting where the shadows will fall at certain points of the day. Mineral Experiment Students learn to identify rocks and minerals through this simple experiment. They use a plate to test the hardness of various common minerals. They also observe how these minerals form crystals (晶体) and how they break apart differently from others. This lesson helps students understand the characteristics and uses of different minerals. Students can even form “companies” and compete to mine different types of rocks with specific features. 1. What is the main purpose of using beads in the sunscreen experiment? A. To compare the prices of sunscreen. B To show the effectiveness of sunscreen. C. To analyze the impact of sunscreen on skin. D. To demonstrate chemical reactions in sunscreen. 2. How do students begin the sundial experiment? A. By building a sundial from beginning. B. By comparing different types of sundials. C. By measuring the length of their shadows. D. By identifying a sunny spot and using a flat board. 3. What does the mineral experiment allow students to do? A. Observe crystal formation. B. Learn geological history. C. Sell rocks they mine. D. Form companies. B Nilas Corneliussen feels worried when a city turns quiet at night. “I much prefer to be in a dynamic city that never sleeps, and Bangkok gives me that,” said the Swedish-born chef of a Nordic-Asian restaurant in Thailand’s capital. While Thailand had long appealed to him, Corneliussen says he never imagined a career in cooking. Instead, he was drawn to Muay Thai (泰拳), or Thai boxing. On high school breaks, he even traveled solo to Thailand to join Muay Thai training camps. After sustaining a hand injury while boxing, he was forced to give up Muay Thai. However, he didn’t stop thinking about Thailand. The very day after graduating from high school in Sweden, Corneliussen booked a one-way ticket to Bangkok and applied for a study visa. It wasn’t until halfway through his studies that he was inspired by a fellow student and friend who ran small Thai restaurants. However, there was something inside of him that was drawn to culinary arts. “The atmosphere inside the kitchen fascinated me-everyone has to work together to make it happen.” Corneliussen recalled. At the time, the chef didn’t think he could pursue his new passion for cooking in Thailand. Instead, he thought it would be best to go back to his roots and understand the flavors he’d grown up with before cooking anything else, so he finished his studies and moved back to Sweden. Starting out in a restaurant in Stockholm, he practised his skills. In 2019, he won the silver in the Bocuse d’Or, a world-famous international cooking competition, as part of the Swedish team. Despite those successes, he knew he wanted to return to Asia to achieve his dream of culinary arts. In 2022, Corneliussen made the move to a high-end restaurant, which opened the same year, and where he showcased casual Nordic food with Asian influences. “In Thailand, I get this feeling of belonging and connection to the people, food and culture,” he said. 4. What is presented in the first paragraph? A. Corneliussen dislikes working at night. B. Corneliussen feels uneasy in a new city. C. Bangkok is home to Nordic restaurants. D. Bangkok gives Corneliussen the feeling he wants. 5. What mainly made Corneliussen choose cooking as a career? A. His injured hand. B. His inner passion. C. His friends’ support. D. His tiredness of study. 6. How did Corneliussen improve his cooking skills? A. By practising in his motherland. B. By improving diverse dishes in Thailand. C. By attending varieties of cooking competitions. D. By summarizing experience from other cooks. 7. Why did Corneliussen decide to return to Asia? A. To learn Muay Thai. B. To showcase Nordic food. C. To open a high-end restaurant. D. To achieve his dream of culinary arts. C A new attempt to predict earthquakes with the aid of artificial intelligence (AI) has raised hopes that the technology could one day be used to limit earthquakes’ impact on lives and economies. Developed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin, the AI algorithm correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week before they happened during a seven-month trial in China. The AI was trained to find unusual patterns in real-time seismic data that researchers had paired with the data of previous earthquakes. The outcome was a weekly forecast in which the AI successfully predicted 14 earthquakes within about 200 miles of where it estimated they would happen and at almost exactly the calculated strength. It missed one earthquake and gave eight false warnings. It’s not yet known if the same approach will work at other locations, but the effort is a significant achievement in research for AI-driven earthquake forecasting. “Predicting earthquakes is the ultimate goal,” said a professor, who is a member of the research team. “We’re not yet close to making predictions for anywhere in the world, but what we achieved tells us that what we thought was an impossible problem is solvable in principle.” The researchers said that their method had succeeded by following a relatively simple machine learning approach. The AI was given a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, then told to train itself on a five-year database of seismic recordings. Once trained, the AI gave its forecast by listening for signs of incoming earthquakes among the background rumblings in the Earth. “Our future goal is to combine both physics and data-driven methods to create a generalized system that we can apply anywhere in the world,” said the AI’s lead developer. “The new research is an important step towards achieving that goal.” 8. What do we say about AI predicting earthquakes? A. The rate of accuracy is high. B. It has got proven worldwide. C. The prediction is completely random. D. Earthquakes can be controlled by scientists. 9. Which can best explain the underlined word “seismic” in paragraph 2? A. Related to weather patterns. B. Related to earthquakes. C. Related to volcanic activities. D. Related to ocean currents. 10. What is researchers’ attitude towards AI predicting earthquakes? A. Doubtful. B. Uncertain. C. Optimistic. D. Unfavorable. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. The Development Of Earthquake B. AI’s Role in Predicting Earthquakes C. AI’s Forecast about Natural Disasters D. The Understanding of Earthquake Physics D Plants have been important to humans since ancient times. They give us food, clothes and shelter. Their beauty brings us happiness, and many plants can also cure us. Recently, scientists found a plant that can better clean polluted air. Scientists at a research institution in the UK studied how well plants can capture (捕获) pollution from cars. Car exhaust fumes (汽车尾气), as well as tire and brake particles, cause many health problems. Since previous research has shown that trees help remove air pollution, researchers decided to test three types of plants: hawthorn, western red cedar, and franchet’s cotoneaster (西南枸子). Researchers found that franchet’s cotoneaster was the best at capturing pollution. This is because of its hairy and complex leaf structure. They also discovered that thick barriers over six feet high were the best at reducing pollution. In areas with heavy traffic, franchet’s cotoneaster absorbed 20% more pollution than the other plants. A co-author of the study said, “We know that in just seven days, a 1-meter length of well-managed thick barrier will capture the same amount of pollution that a car emits (排放) over a 500-mile drive.” The researchers recommend planting franchet’s cotoneaster along busy roads. This is great news for city planners, landscapers, and gardeners. Originally from China, franchet’s cotoneaster is a hardy evergreen that can survive temperatures as low as -23℃. It grows well in the UK and can also grow well in places like California, the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia, and around the Great Lakes. Thanks to this study, franchet’s cotoneaster has shown to be very useful. It allows gardeners and landscapers to help the environment. When these super plants are grown in urban gardens, on streets, and along highways, they will clean the air and add beauty to the surroundings. 12. Which aspect of plants is mainly mentioned in paragraph 1? A. Varieties of plants. B. Living environment. C. Benefits of plants. D. Medical properties. 13. Why is franchet’s cotoneaster effective in capturing pollution? A. It requires less water. B. It is taller than other plants. C. It grows faster than other plants. D. It has hair y and complex leaf structures. 14. What can we infer about franchet’s cotoneaster from paragraph 5? A. They will be planted less by gardeners. B. They will be imported more from China. C. They can adjust to the cold temperature. D. They should be planted in correct places. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph? A To highlight the environmental benefits of franchet’s cotoneaster. B. To describe the appearance of franchet’s cotoneaster. C To compare franchet’s cotoneaster with other plants. D. To explain how to plant franchet’s cotoneaster. 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。 Research shows that when people do not get enough sleep, they have slower response times, worse decision-making, difficulty paying attention, and poorer memory. ____16____.

One day, she decided to make soup on the stove. As the soup gently cooked on the stove, Fumie went to check on it. In a moment of distraction, she accidentally knocked the pot over, causing the boiling soup to splash onto her hand. The pain was immediate and unbearable, and she quickly realized she had severely burned her skin. Her classmate, who was nearby, saw the accident and quickly called for an ambulance. Within minutes, the ambulance arrived, and an EMT (急救医疗医生), wearing a mask, began to assist her. The EMT helped Fumie stay calm during the 45-minute drive to the hospital, despite her continuously asking for some alleviation of her pain. “Could you do something to ease my pain, please? Could I have a cold pack?” Fumie asked repeatedly. The EMT explained gently but firmly that he couldn’t give her a cold pack because extreme cold might cause further damage to her already injured skin. She had to tolerate the pain until they reached the burn unit. At the hospital, the doctor treating her took a compassionate (有同情心的) approach. He talked to her throughout the treatment process to help distract her from the pain. They chatted about various topics, including her part-time job at a factory, which helped to take her mind off her injuries. Most importantly, the doctor made her know that she was going to be okay. “He had an amazing voice, and just was so calm. He made sure that I got the right treatment,” Fumie remembered. The doctor’s professional and empathetic demeanor made a significant difference in her experience. Fumie was in hospital for four and a half days, receiving excellent care. Two months later, fully recovered, she returned to her part-time job as a receptionist at the factory. However, the story didn’t stop here. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One day, while working at the reception desk, a man approached her. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “I just really wanted to come check on you,” said the EMT. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力：1-5 ABACA 6-10 BCBCA 11-15 BABBC 16-20 BCAAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
