备战2025年高考英语名校模拟真题速递(浙江专用) 第一期 专题10 阅读理解之新闻报道(高考真题+浙江名校模拟) （2024·新高考卷·高考真题）Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read? Yes, we all have our phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed. Well, there’s a kiosk (小亭) for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least. “You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit — known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.” It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works. Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says. “And as of right now, we’ve received about 120 submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.” Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short stories save transit? Trost thinks so. “At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says. And you’ll never be without something to read. 1．Why did BART start the kiosk program? A．To promote the local culture. B．To discourage phone use. C．To meet passengers’ needs. D．To reduce its running costs. 2．How are the stories categorized in the kiosk? A．By popularity. B．By length. C．By theme. D．By language. 3．What has Trost been doing recently? A．Organizing a story contest. B．Doing a survey of customers. C．Choosing a print publisher. D．Conducting interviews with artists. 4．What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future? A．It will close down. B．Its profits will decline. C．It will expand nationwide. D．Its ridership will increase. （2023·浙江·高考真题）A machine can now not only beat you at chess, it can also outperform you in debate. Last week, in a public debate in San Francisco, a software program called Project Debater beat its human opponents, including Noa Ovadia, Israel’s former national debating champion. Brilliant though it is, Project Debater has some weaknesses. It takes sentences from its library of documents and prebuilt arguments and strings them together. This can lead to the kinds of errors no human would make. Such wrinkles will no doubt be ironed out, yet they also point to a fundamental problem. As Kristian Hammond, professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Northwestern University, put it: “There’s never a stage at which the system knows what it’s talking about.” What Hammond is referring to is the question of meaning, and meaning is central to what distinguishes the least intelligent of humans from the most intelligent of machines. A computer works with symbols. Its program specifies a set of rules to transform one string of symbols into another. But it does not specify what those symbols mean. Indeed, to a computer, meaning is irrelevant. Humans, in thinking, talking, reading and writing, also work with symbols. But for humans, meaning is everything. When we communicate, we communicate meaning. What matters is not just the outside of a string of symbols, but the inside too, not just how they are arranged but what they mean. Meaning emerges through a process of social interaction, not of computation, interaction that shapes the content of the symbols in our heads. The rules that assign meaning lie not just inside our heads, but also outside, in society, in social memory, social conventions and social relations. It is this that distinguishes humans from machines. And that’s why, however astonishing Project Debater may seem, the tradition that began with Socrates and Confucius will not end with artificial intelligence. 5．Why does the author mention Noa Ovadia in the first paragraph? A．To explain the use of a software program. B．To show the cleverness of Project Debater. C．To introduce the designer of Project Debater. D．To emphasize the fairness of the competition. 6．What does the underlined word “wrinkles” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．Arguments. B．Doubts. C．Errors. D．Differences. 7．What is Project Debater unable to do according to Hammond? A．Create rules. B．Comprehend meaning. C．Talk fluently. D．Identify difficult words. 8．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Social interaction is key to understanding symbols. B．The human brain has potential yet to be developed. C．Ancient philosophers set good examples for debaters. D．Artificial intelligence ensures humans a bright future. （2024·浙江金华·三模）You’ve probably followed a few cute dogs and cats on social media. However, are you aware that AI-generated pets are also gaining popularity nowadays? They are just as adorable as real dogs and cats but also show human-like characteristics. Chai Dada, operates an AI-created dog account on Xiaohongshu, attracting over 10,000 followers. Her AI-generated pet Zhuangzhuang is a fluffy Shiba Inu with a big belly who likes to eat and work out. “Zhuangzhuang is actually a mirror of myself,” Chai said. “Its life and mood basically reflect my own.” In 2023, AI tools fascinated Chai. She used them to create animal characters behaving like humans, sharing them on Xiaohongshu for joy. Zhuangzhuang, the cutest and most representative, captured her heart. To bring Zhuangzhuang to life, Chai places it in various daily life scenarios. For instance, during the recent “hui nan tian” — the super humid (潮湿的) weather in southern China — Chai shared images of Zhuangzhuang mopping a wet floor, with the words, “It’s wet everywhere at home”, vividly capturing the mood. In the comments section, many have expressed sympathy for the poor dog. “Many scenes may seem ordinary, but when a very lifelike and adorable anthropomorphic (拟人化的) pet appears in these familiar scenes, it looks interesting.” Chai said. Since Zhuangzhuang closely is like a human in a dog’s body, many followers have come to believe in its real existence. This popularity has opened doors for Chai to cooperate with brands for product promotions. Aiming to expand her reach, Chai desires to explore deeper into AI to bring her AI pet to life in videos, not just photos. She has noticed a growing trend of AI pet bloggers, making the competition in this industry fierce. To attract more fans, bloggers are constantly learning more AI skills and brainstorming to create more interesting storylines. “I want to develop Zhuangzhuang into an intellectual property and create related cultural and creative products such as dolls and stickers,” said Chai. 9．What do we know about the AI pet Zhuangzhuang?

It is part of a project that he hopes will be a “game changer” in art education by making state school students realize art is not off limits. Art education in state schools is under threat, with its cost on per pupil in England falling by nearly 10% in real terms since 2009 and many institutions having to cut back on art lessons including fine art. A study by the Fabian Society in 2019 found that 68% of primary school teachers in England felt there was less art education then than in 2010, with under half believing the quality had decreased. Bowling’s son, Ben Bowling, helped organize the project. Proceeds from the sale of 100 signed prints will fund  “art package”, which include canvas (油画布), paint and six-lesson curriculum that could give about 30,000 primary school children an “alternative” introduction to art. He said, “Enabling children of all ages, irrespective of their family background or their means, to have access to art education and material is the goal.” The idea for the project came when Frank Bowling began to receive invitations from London schools whose pupils were using his work as inspiration. Together with his son, he started visiting schools and doing presentations to six- and seven-year-olds and realized there were things they needed. Ben noted, “Art schools in England have become the preserve of the elite (精英).” Frank Bowling said, “Artists will always do what they have to do and find ways of doing. Art finds a way, but young children need schools to be a place of artistic possibilities. It’s not just about making art; it’s about making sure they feel inspired to create, no matter what.” 13．What is threatening art education in state schools? A．The shortage of art schoolteachers. B．The increase in the cost of art lessons. C．The instability of art learning opportunities. D．The reduction in investment in art education. 14．What is the aim of Bowling’s project? A．To advocate abstract paintings. B．To raise fund for state schools. C．To make art accessible to more children. D．To change the way of art education. 15．What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A．Elites think highly of art education. B．Art is a stimulation to children’s creativity. C．Great changes will take place in art schools. D．Artists have found a way for artistic possibilities. 16．Which of the following best describes Frank Bowling? A．Generous and caring.

Besides appreciating the wisdom hidden in these historical volumes, she also focuses on how they are bound (装帧) and presented. “It’s more like a force of habit caused by my job,” said Song. This 34-year-old “book doctor” has been working in the restoration department for ancient books at the National Library of China in Beijing, since she finished her cultural relic protection studies course at Peking University in 2015. Up to now, she has been engaged in restoring more than 100 ancient cultural relies. At the moment, Song and her colleagues are working on restoring a copy of Yongle Dadian, an encyclopedia created in 1408. Unfortunately, most of its books that have survived until today have suffered damage to their original binding. “To rest ore them to their original form, we need to gather information from various sources, such as images and texts, before we can make sure their original binding style and repair them accordingly,” she explained. Moreover, the ancient encyclopedia’s silk texture and color have both grown inconsistent, which makes creating the necessary raw materials and matching the color difficult. In the past, restorers had to rely on their experience to determine the appropriate materials to use for a project. As technology has evolved, they are able to use a new method to finish the task through microscopes. However, technology can only help so much, as ancient books restoration still requires essential manual skills, including cutting and brushing paper and binding. Apart from this, the restoration also requires strong control when brushing the paper. “If the pressure is not properly controlled during the brushing process, the paper may tear, but if the touch is too light, the paper won’t adhere (黏附),” Song explained. Owing to the meaningful and complex process, the ancient books restoration technique of the national library was listed as a national-level intangible cultural heritage in 2008. “Hopefully, I can be of some help in inspiring more young people to find their lifelong passion in the field of cultural heritage preservation,” said Song. 21．Why is Song Jing called a “book doctor”? A．She works in the restoration department. B．She focuses on the binding of ancient books. C．She is devoted to the ancient books restoration. D．She enjoys checking out ancient books in a museum. 22．What is a challenge in the restoration of the encyclopedia?

A．dedicated and careful B．unselfish and cautious C．diligent and ambitious D．determined and creative 24．What’s the purpose of the text? A．To relate a story B．To introduce a “book doctor” C．To share a passion D．To protect the cultural heritage （2024·浙江杭州·一模）Google recently announced that it has begun using carbon-free electricity from a geothermal (地热能) project to power data centers in the state of Nevada. Tim Latimer is chief and co-founder of Fervo Energy based in Houston, Texas. His company is working with Google on its geothermal project. Latimer said that getting electricity on the grid from geothermal resources is an event many new energy companies never reach. He added that he believes geothermal energy will become more well-known than in the past. The International Energy Agency(IEA) has long suggested geothermal could be an answer to climate change. The IEA said in a 2011 document that geothermal could reach 3.5 percent of global electricity production each year by 2050. The Paris-based international group says geothermal energy could prevent almost 800 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year. Fervo Energy is using this first test to launch other projects that will provide more electricity to the grid. The company is currently completing some work in southwest Utah for a 400-megawatt project. Google and Fervo Energy started working together in 2021 to develop geothermal power. The plant near Winnemucca, Nevada, is now operating and is sending about 3.5 megawatts to the grid. Google announced in 2020 that it would use what it calls “carbon-free” energy every hour of every day, wherever it operates, by 2030. Many energy experts believe huge companies like Google can play a part in increasing the use of clean energy. Terrell noted the company was also an early supporter of wind and solar projects, helping those markets grow to where they are today. “It’s a very similar situation. Now that we’ve set a goal to be 24/7 carbon-free energy, we have found it will take more than just wind, solar and storage,” Terrell said. The United States leads the world in using heat from the Earth for electricity production. U. S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said earlier this year that advances in new geothermal systems will help introduce this form of energy to areas where it has been thought to be impossible. This makes it possible to find energy in more places. 25．What is Tim Latimer’s attitude to working with Google? A．Supportive. B．Disapproving. C．Concerned. D．Indifferent. 26．What can we learn from the text? A．Fervo Energy has launched many geothermal projects before. B．Geothermal energy will take the place of solar energy. C．Getting electricity from geothermal resources has been widely used. D．Geothermal energy has the potential to tackle environmental problems. 27．What will most energy experts agree with? A．CO2 emission is to blame for climate change. B．Carbon-free electricity only exists in our dream. C．Google is setting a good example in environmental protection. D．Wind and solar projects are more important than geothermal project. 28．What would be the best title for the text? A．Geothermal: an answer to climate change B．Google: a company launching a new project C．IEA: an organization contributing to global warming D．CO2: the leading factor to global warming （2024·浙江·三模）MyHeritage has announced the release of two new AI features which it promises will ‘revolutionise genealogy (系谱学)’ research, similar to how ChatGPT revolutionised searching the Internet.

During a friendly match between Australia and Argentina in the Workers’ Stadium in the city’s Chaoyang district on Thursday, the fan, whose surname is Di, ran onto the field, giving a hug to his favorite footballer Messi. He was run after by security guards but he managed to flee and high-five Argentina goalkeeper Emi Martinez before being caught. The match was only interrupted by Di’s act for a short period. On the field, Argentina triumphed over Australia with a 2-0 win eventually, although the game was likely to be remembered for other reasons. In a series of videos posted online after the game the fan apologized to his hero for his “bad behavior”. “Messi, I’m sorry... I’m really sorry to meet you this way. I really wanted your signature , but they were running after me, so I didn’t ask for it,” he said. The police said on Friday that Di, 18, has been given an administrative custody , with a ban of watching similar matches in stadiums within the next 12 months. The police did not tell clearly how many days Di will be detained, but under the Chinese law, punishment for such an offence is no more than 10 days. If the situation is serious, it could be expanded to 15days at most. The police said, “There are rules of games. Players who break the rules will be punished by judges, or even get yellow or red card. Soccer fans watching games also have rules to follow. Acts that cross the lines will also be punished according to the law.” A Chinese state media said while the fan’s passion was understandable, it did not support his behavior, adding that it would interrupt the game and end anger public safety. Most people expressed their admiration for the fan’s courage because he did what they had wanted to do but dared not to.

VaakEye, an AI software developed by Japanese startup Vaak, can detect shoplifting before it occurs by analyzing separate suspicious movements and behaviors of people caught in the camera’s field of view, from a person’s face, clothes, movement, overall behavior, to macro-data like crime incidence in the area the shop is located in, or current weather conditions. If the analysis infers that there is a high-enough probability of a person shoplifting, it sends an alert via a smartphone app so the crime can be prevented. VaakEye first made news headlines back in December 2018 when it picked up on previously undetected shopping activity at a convenience store in Yokohama. The suspect, an 80-year-old man, was arrested a few days later after stealing a hat. Today, Vaak is currently testing its software in a few dozen stores in the Tokyo area, but plans to have it installed in 100,000 stores across Japan in the next three years. This new shoplifting-prevention software has reportedly helped detect at least 7 shoplifters in tests performed as of December 12th last year, and is credited with reducing shopping cases by 75%, according to IT Media. Theoretically, shop staff can approach suspicious subjects after receiving an alert from the software and ask if they need some help. This should discourage suspected shoplifters from going ahead with their plans. While Vaak is currently focusing on shopping prevention, they also have plans to enhance the software’s functionality. Tanaka told it could also be used to analyze the way consumers interact with various products, thus helping businesses better display their goods, and also in public spaces and train platforms to detect suspicious behavior and prevent suicide attempts. “We’re still just discovering all the market potential,” Tanaka said. “We want to keep expanding the scope of the company.” 37．How does VaakEye detect shoplifting? A．By installing high-tech tracking devices. B．By guessing the probability of shoplifters. C．By following the suspects through technology. D．By analyzing data collected through the camera. 38．What will shop staff probably do when receiving an alert about shopping? A．They will arrest the suspects. B．They will pretend to ask the suspects. C．They will search the suspects, D．They will directly discourage the suspects. 39．What can we learn about VaakEye? A．It helps prevent suicide attempts. B．It gets rid of all shopping cases. C．It can potentially be applied to various fields. D．It has been widely used in preventing shopping. 40．What is Tanaka’s attitude towards the prospect of VaakEye? A．Positive. B．Objective. C．Uncertain. D．Critical. 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 参考答案： 1．C 2．B 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了旧金山湾区捷运系统(BART)推出自动售货亭提供短篇故事打印服务，旨在满足乘客阅读需求，提升出行体验，Trost认为此举措能吸引更多乘客，对BART的未来持乐观态度，预期乘客量将会增长。 1．推理判断题。根据第三段““You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit - known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.”(旧金山湾区捷运系统（BART）首席通讯官Alicia Trost表示：“你进入检票口，会看到一个亮着灯的信息亭，它告诉你可以得到一分钟、三分钟或五分钟的报道。你可以选择你想要的长度，它会给你一个类似收据的短篇故事。”)”可知，BART启动信息亭是为了满足乘客在乘车过程中的阅读需求，为他们提供不同长度的短篇故事或诗歌来打发时间。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.(你可以选择你想要的长度，它会给你一个类似收据的短篇故事)”可知，信息亭中的故事按长度分类，乘客可以根据自己的需求选择不同长度的故事。故选B项。 3．细节理解题。根据第五段“We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,(我们想做一些事情，呼吁湾区的艺术家为比赛提交故事)”以及第六段“The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.(获奖故事会进入我们的书报亭，然后你就会成为一名出版艺术家)”可知，Trost最近在组织一个故事竞赛，向湾区的艺术家征集故事，获胜作品将被放入书报亭供乘客阅读。故选A项。 4．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience.
