The three finalists in 2023 are shown below. You can read about our winners in 2022 at rd.com/nicest, where we are collecting suggestions for places we should consider in 2024. Coulterville, California Couterville is a tiny town in Northern California, about 1000 miles from Phoenix. It was named after George Coulter, one of the first whites to come to the gold camp already populated by Chinese and Mexican miners. The Chinese first appeared in 1850, creating a small settlement at the north end of what was to be Coulterville. The entire area is a heaven for rock and mineral collectors. Kingsport, Tennessee Kingsport is a city full of originals. Pal’s Sudden Service was born here, as was the recipe for the Original Long Island Iced Tea. The hand- carved carousel (旋转木马) is a beloved original too, which features 32 beautiful hand-carved wooden animals—each lovingly and painstakingly fashioned by a group of Kingsport workers. In the city of makers, more originals are soon on the way. Buchanan, Michigan Buchanan is a peaceful small town having a historic downtown and beautiful natural resources. When asked, “What’s the best thing about Buchanan? The residents declare, Pears Mill.” Pears Mill, a two-floor brick building fitted with machinery for pounding grain into flour, was constructed in 1857, listed on the Michigan Historical Register in 1987 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. 21. Which place best suits people who are interested in the Gold Rush? A. Coulterville. B. Kingsport. C. Buchanan. D. Phoenix. 22. What will visitors most probably do in Kingsport, Tennessee? A. Attend a fashion show. B. Dig up rock and mineral. C. Appreciate creative handiwork. D. Take a walk in the woods. 23. What do the three places have in common? A. They have unique historic building. B. They are being promoted at rd.com/nicest. C. They were named after the first white settlers. D. They are shortlisted for America’s Nicest Places. B Darwin’s Arch, a famed rock formation in the Galapagos Islands has taken on a new shape. The top of the Arch collapsed this week into the Pacific Ocean due to natural forces. “Obviously all the people from the Galapagos felt it was a shame because it’s something we’re familiar with since childhood, and to know that it has changed was a bit of a shock,” Washington Tapia said, “However, from a scientific point of view, it’s part of the natural process.It normally happens on our planet.” Darwin’s Arch,which is made of natural stone, at one point would have been part of the island. Named after famed naturalist Charles Darwin, it is not accessible by land. But the area around the islands is a popular diving spot, particularly to observe sharks and other sea species. “Unfortunately today, our guests of the Galapagos Aggressor III experienced a once in a lifetime event,” the travel company Agressor Adventures posted on Facebook. The group added, “This morning at 11:20 am local time, the world-famous Darwin’s Arch collapsed in front of their eyes. There are now only two pillars (柱子) remaining. Some in the dive & travel industry are already referring to this now as ‘The Pillars of Evolution (进化)’.” The post received nearly 200 comments including one person who wrote, “What a shame! Geologic (地质的) time is so much different from human time that we forget that it’s always going on. That’s why I like to spend a lot of time among the arches in Southern Utah. You never know when it could be the last time before geology does its work.” The Galapagos Islands are a UNESCO World Heritage Site that has been called a “living museum and showcase of evolution”. The islands are situated about 621 miles from the coast of Ecuador. They are home to many interesting animals including giant tortoises, marine iguanas, and many types of finches. 24.What does Tapia think of the collapse of Darwin’s Arch? A. It is a disastrous memory especially for kids. B. It is a little bit disappointing but acceptable. C. It is a rare natural phenomenon in the world. D. It is such a wonder hard to explain in science. 25.What do people coming to the Galapagos Islands like most? A. Diving to observe some sea species. B. Catching sharks around the islands. C. Climbing Darwin’s Arch carefully. D. Visiting the office of Charles Darwin. 26.What is the post from the Agressor Adventures on Facebook mainly about? A. The magical power of the geology. B. The novel description of the pillars. C. The witness of the fall of the Arch. D. The reason for the loss of the Arch. 27.What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. To advertise for Aggressor Adventures. B. To introduce the theory of evolution. C. To praise Darwin for his contribution. D. To add some background information. C AI, or artificial intelligence, has become increasingly popular in everyday life. Programmers code and “train” computers to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual recognition, artificial speech, and problem solving. AI algorithms(算法)work behind the scenes to customize ads and content online, and natural language processors interact and respond with users in a conversational manner. AI chatbots are now widely available and can be used for a variety of purposes . One example of an AI that may help protect individuals is “Take It Down”, a program developed by Meta to help teenagers remove unauthorized photos from the internet. While there are concerns about AI programs collecting data and invading privacy, AI automation can save time and improve efficiency in many areas, including this task that would otherwise take hours to perform manually. The current generation of AI chatbots still face limitations in fully simulating human emotions and attending to subtle variations of language cues in human conversations. The problems result from AI developers’ preference of language choices. They must continue to work on improving AI processing and linguistics for a more humanized approach. AI may also change how we approach education and tutoring. AI tutoring programs and AI-assisted mental health services could provide 24/7 accessibility for students and personalized assessments for academic, behavioral, and mental health issues. However, concerns remain over the potential misuse of AI technology for cheating and plagiarism in academic settings. Despite concerns about privacy and the sci-fi idea of AI robots taking over, AI will continue to open up new discoveries in all aspects of life. This technology carries both risks and benefits, but if used with care, it can bring positive developments while avoiding risks to livelihoods and privacy. 28.What is the main purpose of “Take It Down”? A. To perform tasks automatically. B. To protect individuals’ privacy. C. To improve work efficiency. D. To collect personal information. 29.AI technology can do the following EXCEPT A. providing mental health services. B. customizing ads and content online. C. fully simulating human emotions. D. assessing academic achievements. 30.What does the underlined word “plagiarism” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Copying. B. Writing. C. Improving. D. Protecting. 31.What is the author’s attitude to the popularization of artificial intelligence? A. Neutral. B. Tolerant. C. Negative. D. Favorable. D In the midst of an already record-breaking heat wave, Phoenix, Arizona, set a particularly eye-popping record: the temperature only dropped to 97 degrees Fahrenheit overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday, setting an all-time record high for a nighttime low. When temperatures stay high overnight, they place a particularly heavy burden on the body, raising the risk of heat illness and death. The U.S. —and the world—has seen a spate of extreme heat so far this year, including the planet’s hottest-ever June and hottest week on record during the first week of July. Rising global temperatures from burning fossil fuels are the main driver of more frequent and more intense heat waves. And an El Niño event is also boosting global temperatures this year. A heat dome has been in place for weeks over the U.S. Southwest and Texas, and it has fueled many heat records. Phoenix has now seen 20 days in a row with a daytime high of 110 degrees F or higher, a record that is likely to continue for several more days. A heat dome is an area of high pressure that parks over a region. High-pressure ridges, as they are also called, feature sinking air, which compresses and heats up. These ridges’ typical clear skies also allow the sun’s rays to beat down on the ground, further raising temperatures. Prolonged heat extremes pose a major public health threat because heat is the number-one weather-related killer in the U.S.; it causes more human deaths than hurricanes, tornadoes and floods combined. Heat can cause dehydration, which leads the blood to thicken and makes the heart pump harder. That organ and others can be damaged by too much exposure to heat. The soaring, triple-digit high daily temperatures grab the headlines, and they definitely are a concern—but when temperatures only drop into the 80s and 90s at night, the body doesn’t get a chance to cool down. This is particularly a concern for those who lack air-conditioning, including unhoused populations. And heat is especially a health risk for the very young, the elderly and those with preexisting health conditions such as asthma and heart disease. 32.What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs? A. Extreme temperatures can cause damage to our hearts. B. Burning fossil fuels contributes to the hottest-ever June and July. C. El Nino is the dominant cause of soaring global temperature. D. The temperature at night has reached a record high in Phoenix, Arizona. 33.What is a heat dome according to the passage? A. It’s a weather phenomenon that contributes to high temperatures. B. It’s a peak that the low pressure should reach. C. It’s the damage caused by too much exposure to heat. D. It’s the extra heat trapped in the sinking air. 34.According to the passage, what’s the influence high overnight temperature has on humans? A. It is the top one killer in America. B. Exposure to heat contributes to heart diseases. C. Human organs might be impaired. D. People accommodate to 80s and 90s Fahrenheit at night. 35.What’s the passage mainly talking about? A. Soaring temperatures are hitting the headlines. B. Hot overnight temperatures threaten human health. C. A new eye popping overnight low record is set. D. Global heat waves are causing concerns. 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。 It is the beginning of a new school year, but for many, it may be their last.

Over the years, the little boy had gone through a total of five corrective surgeries. Justin could no longer walk and was limited to a wheelchair. But this did not stop him from living a normal life thanks to his mother’ S love and others’ help. After entering high school, Justin got interested in playing the trumpet (小号) and joined the school’s band. He served as one of the band’s trumpeters and developed a strong friendship with his partner Tom. As Thanksgiving Day approached, the band intended to perform in the Thanksgiving Day Parade and every member had the chance to join in, including Justin. However, there was one obvious problem. Justin could not control his wheelchair and play the trumpet at the same time. The band director put forward an idea of one student pushing Justin during his marches. Tom immediately volunteered even though it meant he had to give up the opportunity to play his own instrument during the parade.“I do it just to make sure Justin knows that he always has a place in the band, and he always will,“ Tom said to their director secretly. From then on, the two practiced together, one playing the instrument and the other pushing the wheelchair with the rhythm of the music. To help Justin, Tom sacrificed (牺牲) far beyond expectation. Apart from losing the chance to perform, he needed to spare more time to take care of Justin and even missed his football training several times. All of these were seen by Justin and the burden of guilt weighed heavily on his mind.“I can’t meet my own needs at the sacrifice of Tom’s chance. It is time to find a solution.” Justin thought to himself as his mother pushed him on the way home. His mother lowered her head and said,“Justin, play me your new tune.” Justin took out his trumpet and was about to play when an excellent idea came to him. 注意: 1.续写司数立カ150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 He turned around to ask his mother for help. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thanksgiving finally came, as did Justin and mom’s performance. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024--2025学年邵阳市第二中学高三年级8月月考 A A A A A A A A A A A A A A D D D D D A A A A A A A A A A B B B B B C C C C C C C C C C B B B B B B B B B C C C C A A A A A B B B B B B C C C C C D D D D A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D B B B B B A A A A A C C C C C D D D D D B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C B B B B B C C C C C B B B B E G E F E E G F G G F F E G F A D C B Dear Henry, He turned around to ask his mother for help.

The three finalists in 2023 are shown below.(在过去的七年里，我们的读者在寻找美国最好的地方的过程中，给我们带来了一些非常特别的地方。2023年的三个最终入选名单如下所示。)”可知，这三个地方的共同之处是都入选为美国最美之地。故选D。 B 【语篇导读】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述由于自然侵蚀，加拉帕戈斯群岛知名景观“达尔文拱门”已坍塌。 24.【答案】B 【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段“‘Obviously all the people from the Galapagos felt it was a shame because it’s something we’re familiar with since childhood, and to know that it has changed was a bit of a shock,’(‘显然，所有来自加拉帕戈斯群岛的人都觉得这是一种耻辱，因为这是我们从小就熟悉的东西，知道它已经改变了，这有点令人震惊。’)”及第四段“Washington Tapia said, ‘However, from a scientific point of view, it’s part of the natural process.’(Washington Tapia说：‘然而，从科学的角度来看，这是自然过程的一部分。’)”可知，Tapia认为“达尔文拱门”的坍塌令人惋惜，但认同这是自然过程的一部分，故选B。 25.【答案】A 【解析】细节理解题。根据第六段中“But the area around the islands is a popular diving spot, particularly to observe sharks and other sea species.(但岛屿周围地区是一个受欢迎的潜水地点，特别是观察鲨鱼和其他海洋物种)”可知，人们去加拉帕戈斯群岛最喜欢潜水观察海洋物种，故选A。 26.【答案】C 【解析】推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“This morning at 11:20 am local time, the world-famous Darwin’s Arch collapsed in front of their eyes. There are now only two pillars(柱子) remaining.(当地时间今天上午11点20分，举世闻名的‘达尔文拱门’在他们眼前倒塌了。现在只剩下两个柱子了)”可知，Agressor Adventures旅游公司在Facebook上发的帖子主要是关于目睹拱门倒塌，故选C。 27.【答案】D 【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段“The Galapagos Islands are a UNESCO World Heritage Site that has been called a ‘living museum and showcase of evolution’. The islands are situated about 621 miles from the coast of Ecuador.
