Here are the four best travel backpacks on the market. Amazon Basics 70L It’s much cheaper than many travel bags on the market and does not sacrifice any of the practical uses or space that comes with more expensive bags. The bag may not be as luxury as some of the more high-end bags, but its simple style lets you focus on the main thing you need to focus on when traveling: the moment. Eurohike Nepal 65L The Eurohike Backpack is a great choice because of how adaptable it is. Besides having a great amount of storage, it comes with an internal security pocket. It weighs just 1.38kg as opposed to other backpacks, which can weigh up to nearly 2kg. If you’re going to go hiking when you travel, then it is perfect. Mountain Warehouse Tor 65L First, its brand is one of the most trusted in the industry, so quality is guaranteed. Second, the backpack’s adjustable back allows you to change how the bag fits according to your needs. Available in both blue and green, this is a great choice if you want a bag that you can depend on. Osprey Europe Farpoint 70L Osprey is one of the best brands for backpacks. Its frame (框架) suspension, which can be adjusted to different needs, allows you to travel more comfortably. Whether you’re visiting Switzerland in a thick, wool coat or the south of France in shorts and a T-shirt, the bag will match your look. This bag does say it is marketed for men, but, of course, it can be unisex. 1 What is the selling point of the Amazon Basics? A. Its luxury style. B. Its fashionable design. C. Its huge space for use. D. Its good value for money. 2. What do Mountain Warehouse Tor 65L and Osprey Europe Farpoint 70L have in common? A. They are rich in color. B. They have the same capacity. C. They can be adjusted as needed. D. They are targeted for male customers. 3. Which will you choose if anti-theft function is a concern? A. Amazon Basics 70L. B. Eurohike Nepal 65L. C. Mountain Warehouse Tor 65L. D. Osprey Europe Farpoint 70L. B I started to imagine how I’d lead my own tour. Working as a guard at the Guggenheim, I first liked reading the wall text—the paragraph-long explanation on the wall beside many of the artworks. Occasionally it’s helpful, and for years I thought it was downright rude when museums and galleries didn’t label each work. But now, more often than not, I wanted to tear all the labels down. The wall text stays just to the side of art, like the answer key at the bottom of a word search, its definitive tone sending the message that there’s only one right answer to the art. I realized that art historians could be unreliable narrators (叙述者). The Richard Serra sculpture “Tearing Lead,” consisting of wrinkled lead (铅), took on a different look every time it was exhibited. Guards were given a board with the original photo of the sculpture and instructions “Please indicate where the piece was touched,” so an assistant could reposition the sculpture to match the picture. But an assistant I talked with told me that the sculpture was meant to have the metal pieces arranged haphazardly (杂乱地). The work looks different every time it’s shown —not that you’d know it from the wall text. Therefore, I insist that you don’t look at the little label beside each artwork. When I guarded a Brancusi sculpture, I tried to stand in front of the wall label so people couldn’t see it, and I heard their interpretations go wild. They saw a finger, a woman giving birth, a graph, a Kurosawa character, a dolphin, a nose, a fish. If I learned one thing as a guard, it’s that sometimes being forced to look at an artwork, even when you don’t want to, is life-changing. Fight the urge to see what you expect to be there; focus instead on what is there. I’m not concerned with whether you think it’s good. Just watch the thing in front of you. 4. What can we learn about the author from paragraph l? A. He is forming his own judgement. B. He likes traveling with his friends. C. He wants to make his voice heard. D. He writes explanations for artworks. 5. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning “Tearing Lead”? A. To introduce a special assistant. B. To prove that wall texts can be wrong. C. To call for protection of artworks on show. D. To show how art historians describe works. 6. Why did the author stand in front of the label on the wall? A. To prevent the visitors getting closer to the sculpture. B To make visitors have a better view of the sculpture. C. To push the visitors to appreciate on their own. D To interact with the visitors in a fun way. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. How I Rose from a Museum Guard to an Art Expert B. What Categories of Artworks Museums Like Showing C. How Working in a Museum Makes Me Have a Life Purpose D. What Being a Museum Guard Taught Me about Looking at Art C INTEGRATIVE ACUPUNCTURE IN CHINESE MEDICINE “I am not delusional,” declares Dr. Li Ming, after treating a patient with traditional Chinese acupuncture. “I am pioneering a new frontier.” Despite the skepticism from some peers, Dr. Li remains undeterred by their occasional ridicule. He stands among a select group of Chinese medical practitioners who are embracing an integrative approach to healing—melding the wisdom of ancient Chinese medicine with modern medical science. Dr. Li, an alumnus of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, initially pursued a more conventional path in his medical career. His journey towards alternative therapies began two decades ago when he was plagued by severe back pain. Conventional treatments offered him little respite. It was through acupuncture, an age-old Chinese medical technique, that he found remarkable improvement after just a few sessions. This personal experience inspired him to explore its potential for his patients. After years of dedicated study and practice, he started integrating these methods into his treatments. Consider the case of Zhang Wei's father, who suffered from chronic migraines. Zhang was at the brink of despair, ready to concede to the relentless pain, but Dr. Li’s integrative approach not only alleviated his symptoms but also significantly improved his quality of life. Similarly, Chen Yu recounts how her mother, after a stroke, regained mobility and speech function following a series of acupuncture sessions. Dr. Li is convinced that the integrative approach to acupuncture will gain broader acceptance, and historical trends seem to support his optimism: Since the establishment of the Chinese Association for Integrative Medicine in 1990, its membership has surged from a handful to thousands. “The profound effectiveness of this integrative practice sometimes astonishes even me,” Dr. Li admits. “I am committed to exploring every avenue to aid my patients. That is the essence of my vocation.” 8. What is the opinion of some of Dr. Li’s colleagues regarding his methods? A. They consider him unconventional. B. They perceive him as overly strict. C They admire his courage. D. They find him impolite. 9. What motivated Dr. Li to explore acupuncture for his patients? A. His academic training in acupuncture. B. The influence of a fellow practitioner. C. His personal benefits from acupuncture. D. A desire to reduce medical costs for patients. 10. What is the main focus of paragraph 3? A. The procedural details of acupuncture treatment. B. The intricacies involved in a medical practitioner’s work. C. The rarity of certain diseases in patients. D. The tangible benefits of integrative medicine. 11. Why does the author refer to the Chinese Association for Integrative Medicine? A. To validate Dr. Li’s perspective. B. To highlight the association’s significance. C. To commend the dedication of medical practitioners. D. To promote the cause of patient advocacy. D Teachers across America are struggling to decide whether to view artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT as friends or enemies in the classroom. Our study on whether AI affects student creativity shows that the answer isn’t always simple. In the study, we asked college students to brainstorm — without technology — all the ways a paper clip can be used. A month later, we asked them to do the same, but using ChatGPT. We found that AI can be a useful brainstorming tool, quickly generating ideas that can spark creative exploration. But there are also potential negative effects on students’ creative thinking skills and self-confidence. While students reported that it was helpful to “have another brain”, they also felt that using AI was “the easy way out” and didn’t allow them to think on their own. The results call for a thoughtful approach to using AI in classrooms and striking a balance that inspires students’ creativity while utilizing AI’s capabilities. The good news is that the students in our study generated more diverse and detailed ideas when using AI. They found that AI was useful for kick-starting brainstorming sessions. When it comes to brainstorming with AI, some students voiced concerns about over-reliance on the technology, fearing it might hurt their own thoughts and, consequently, confidence in their creative abilities. Some students reported a “fixation of the mind”, meaning that once they saw the AI’s ideas, they had a hard time coming up with their own. Some students also questioned the originality of ideas generated by AI. Our research noted that while using ChatGPT improved students’ creative output individually, the AI’s ideas tended to be repetitive overall. The study results indicate that allowing students to practice creativity independently first will strengthen their belief in themselves and their abilities. Once they complete this, AI can be useful in furthering their learning, much like teaching long division to students before introducing a calculator. That’s to say, teaching students to be creative thinkers rather than rely on AI for answers is the key to answering the question mentioned above. 12. Why were the students required to use ChatGPT after a month in the study? A. To clarify a concept. B. To make a comparison. C. To explain a definition. D. To present an argument. 13. What does the underlined word “utilizing” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Learning. B. Designing. C. Taking advantage of. D. Having control of. 14. What does paragraph 4 focus on concerning AI? A. Its negative aspects. B. Its limited creativity. C. Its reliable originality. D. Its potential development. 15. What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph? A. The future of AI use is uncertain. B. Traditional teaching still has a place. C. AI’s capabilities are unquestionable. D. Human creativity should come first. 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。 Who can imagine life today without an Automated Teller Machine (ATM)? They are available in considerable numbers throughout the world. The first ATM was the brainchild of an enterprising Turkish-American inventor Luther George Simjian. When the idea of an automated banking machine struck him, he registered 20 patents before any bank agreed to give it a trial run. It is easy to assume that the inventor of such a popular machine was laughing all the way to the bank. ____16____ Within six months of its operation in New York in 1939, the device was removed due to lack of customer acceptance. It was not until 1967, nearly 30 years later, that Barclays Bank, in a careful launch, rolled out a self-service machine in London, England, which proved successful. ____17____ The first cash machine relied on customers’ use of prepaid tokens (代币) to get envelopes with a fixed amount of cash inside. ____18____ The banks’ principle was seemingly customer service. But it would be foolish to minimize the many advantages that cash machines provided to the banks themselves. By the late 1970s, the highest fixed cost for the average large bank was its branches. The greatest variable cost and loss to profits were its staff. Bank accounts swiftly recognized that self-service operations could reduce bank branch staff cost by70 percent. Experts quickly determined that public acceptance of ATMs counted on convenience, simplicity, speed, security and trust. ____19____ For maximum efficiency, ATMs had to be located near public transport or in a shopping mall, not at a branch. The busier and more crowded the location, obviously, the better. Now, roughly 75 percent of all cash provided by banks to their customers comes from cash machines. ____20____. Public acceptance of deposits (存款) by machine was significantly slower than customers’ usage of ATMs for withdrawals. In general, it seems that customers sometimes still prefer and trust an over-the-counter transaction (交易) for deposits. A. Location, in particular, was a key factor. B. His cash machine, however, didn’t prove durable. C. The device was relatively primitive, at least by today’s standards. D. However, cash machines posed some interesting, unanswered questions. E. An interesting factor was the issue of bio-statistics for customer identification. F. Devices originally dismissed by the public are now recognized as essential institutions. G. Soon afterwards, many other banks became admittedly champions of the cash machine. 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分30分） 第一节（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Shane Porter knew clearly that he was dying of cancer when he one day came home with a rusty (生锈的) 1969 Jeepster Commando.

It has emotional value. So the car sat there—until last May, when Bob Mauger, a close family friend, noticed it and saw an opportunity. “This would be a good project for my students to complete,” Mauger thought, an automotive technology teacher. He shared the idea with his class, and the students were ___24___ on board. The restoration (整修) of the vehicle was the class’ most significant project because of the meaning behind it. It also proved more ___25___ than the students had expected with engine parts missing and cooling system issues. It took 15 months to ___26___ all the problems. Many students spent their free time on the project and some even continued ___27___ the project after they graduated. Eventually, the car ___28___. It became drivable and safe. The students presented the revived Jeepster to the family, causing tears of gratitude and emotion. “I know they’ll have that car for a long time. It feels ___29___.” Judah Castillo, a student, said. For the Porters, the revived car is more than just a vehicle; it is the ____30____ of Shane Porter’s life and the students’ devotion. 21. A. bonding B. training C. uplifting D. wide- ranging 22. A. expanded B. monitored C. postponed D. conducted 23. A. getting hold of B. getting rid of C. getting ready for D. getting used to 24. A. unwillingly B. thankfully C. enthusiastically D. obviously 25. A. complicated B. changeable C. technical D. practical 26. A. record B. schedule C. address D. question 27.

In those days, if you didn’t have a friend, you would end up either starving, ____33____ (eat) or killed. Nowadays, friendship isn’t exactly a matter of life and death.

It is in these hard times ____36____ they find out who their true friends are. ____37____ the old saying goes, in times of success, friends will be plenty; in times of ____38____ (suffer), not one in twenty.

The temperature was below zero so I rushed into the subway station, hoping to get warm. Warmth came to my body as I settled onto a bench with a cup of hot coffee. Now I was ready to relax and do some serious people-watching. I noticed a homeless man seated nearby. The pleasant smell of delicious food from the subway food court(美食广场) was attracting me to consider an early dinner. From the longing look in my neighbor’s eyes, it was obvious that he, too, noticed the good smell. I wondered how long it had been since he had eaten anything, expecting he would approach me for some food. But he never did. My head and heart were battling it out: the former telling me to mind my own business, and the latter urging me to make an immediate trip to the food court for him. While this inner debate was fierce, a well-dressed young couple suddenly approached. “Excuse me, sir,” began the husband. “We just finished eating and our appetite wasn’t as big as we thought. We hate to waste food. Can you help us out and put this to good use?” The kind stranger handed a large container with food. “Thank you.” came the grateful reply. Feeling good about what I had seen, but disappointed by my own lack of action, I observed my neighbor’s response to his sudden good fortune. He lifted the soup, cupping his hands around the steaming bowl. It was obvious that he was going to enjoy this miracle meal. He opened mouth and suddenly, he stopped. The reason for this unexpected behavior soon became clear. Entering the hall was a new arrival, in his seventies, without a hat and gloves. His lightweight jacket was a poor protection against cold. His face and hands were red and damaged. People around focused on him with pity and whispered at this sad sight. 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。 My neighbor was the only one taking action. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went to buy food from the food court, with tears welling up in my eyes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 徐州三中2025届高三上第一次质量调研 英语学科试卷 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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。 1.

Working as a guard at the Guggenheim, I first liked reading the wall text—the paragraph-long explanation on the wall beside many of the artworks. Occasionally it’s helpful, and for years I thought it was downright rude when museums and galleries didn’t label each work. But now, more often than not, I wanted to tear all the labels down. The wall text stays just to the side of art, like the answer key at the bottom of a word search, its definitive tone sending the message that there’s only one right answer to the art. I realized that art historians could be unreliable narrators (叙述者). The Richard Serra sculpture “Tearing Lead,” consisting of wrinkled lead (铅), took on a different look every time it was exhibited. Guards were given a board with the original photo of the sculpture and instructions “Please indicate where the piece was touched,” so an assistant could reposition the sculpture to match the picture. But an assistant I talked with told me that the sculpture was meant to have the metal pieces arranged haphazardly (杂乱地). The work looks different every time it’s shown —not that you’d know it from the wall text. Therefore, I insist that you don’t look at the little label beside each artwork. When I guarded a Brancusi sculpture, I tried to stand in front of the wall label so people couldn’t see it, and I heard their interpretations go wild. They saw a finger, a woman giving birth, a graph, a Kurosawa character, a dolphin, a nose, a fish. If I learned one thing as a guard, it’s that sometimes being forced to look at an artwork, even when you don’t want to, is life-changing. Fight the urge to see what you expect to be there; focus instead on what is there. I’m not concerned with whether you think it’s good. Just watch the thing in front of you. 4. What can we learn about the author from paragraph l? A. He is forming his own judgement. B. He likes traveling with his friends. C. He wants to make his voice heard. D. He writes explanations for artworks. 5. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning “Tearing Lead”? A. To introduce a special assistant. B. To prove that wall texts can be wrong. C. To call for protection of artworks on show. D. To show how art historians describe works. 6. Why did the author stand in front of the label on the wall? A. To prevent the visitors getting closer to the sculpture. B. To make visitors have a better view of the sculpture. C. To push the visitors to appreciate on their own. D. To interact with the visitors in a fun way. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. How I Rose from a Museum Guard to an Art Expert B. What Categories of Artworks Museums Like Showing C. How Working in a Museum Makes Me Have a Life Purpose D. What Being a Museum Guard Taught Me about Looking at Art 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位在古根海姆博物馆工作的保安对艺术品标签的反思，以及鼓励观众摆脱预设观念，直接感受艺术品本身。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“But now, more often than not, I wanted to tear all the labels down. The wall text stays just to the side of art, like the answer key at the bottom of a word search, its definitive tone sending the message that there’s only one right answer to the art.(但现在，我常常想撕掉所有的标签。墙上的文字只停留在艺术的一边，就像单词搜索底部的答案键一样，它明确的语气传达了一个信息，即艺术只有一个正确的答案)”可知，作者开始质疑并希望去除艺术品旁的标签说明，认为它们限制了人们对艺术的多角度理解，表明他在形成自己的判断。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“I realized that art historians could be unreliable narrators.(我意识到艺术历史学家可能是不可靠的叙述者)”及“The work looks different every time it’s shown —not that you’d know it from the wall text.(作品每次展示时看起来都不一样——并不是说你从墙上的文字中就能知道)”可知，通过介绍“Tearing Lead”雕塑的例子，指出助理告诉作者雕塑本应随意排列金属片，而墙上的文字说明并未反映这一信息，说明墙上的解说并不总是准确的，甚至可能是误导的。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“When I guarded a Brancusi sculpture, I tried to stand in front of the wall label so people couldn’t see it, and I heard their interpretations go wild.(当我守卫一座布朗库西雕塑时，我试图站在墙上的标签前，让人们看不到它，我听到他们的解释变得疯狂)”可知，作者站在墙上的标签前，是为了让访客在没有预设解释的情况下自由地欣赏和解读雕塑，促使他们自己进行欣赏。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容及最后一段“If I learned one thing as a guard, it’s that sometimes being forced to look at an artwork, even when you don’t want to, is life-changing. Fight the urge to see what you expect to be there; focus instead on what is there.(如果说我作为一名警卫学到了一件事，那就是有时被迫看艺术品，即使你不想看，也会改变生活。抵制住想要看到你预期内容的冲动；相反，要专注于眼前的事物)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者作为博物馆警卫的体验，如何从这个角色中学到了不依赖于墙上的解说，而是鼓励人们自主观察和理解艺术，因此D项“当博物馆警卫教会我的观看艺术之道”最能概括全文主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选D。 C INTEGRATIVE ACUPUNCTURE IN CHINESE MEDICINE “I am not delusional,” declares Dr. Li Ming, after treating a patient with traditional Chinese acupuncture. “I am pioneering a new frontier.” Despite the skepticism from some peers, Dr. Li remains undeterred by their occasional ridicule. He stands among a select group of Chinese medical practitioners who are embracing an integrative approach to healing—melding the wisdom of ancient Chinese medicine with modern medical science. Dr. Li, an alumnus of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, initially pursued a more conventional path in his medical career. His journey towards alternative therapies began two decades ago when he was plagued by severe back pain. Conventional treatments offered him little respite. It was through acupuncture, an age-old Chinese medical technique, that he found remarkable improvement after just a few sessions. This personal experience inspired him to explore its potential for his patients. After years of dedicated study and practice, he started integrating these methods into his treatments. Consider the case of Zhang Wei's father who suffered from chronic migraines. Zhang was at the brink of despair, ready to concede to the relentless pain, but Dr. Li’s integrative approach not only alleviated his symptoms but also significantly improved his quality of life. Similarly, Chen Yu recounts how her mother, after a stroke, regained mobility and speech function following a series of acupuncture sessions. Dr. Li is convinced that the integrative approach to acupuncture will gain broader acceptance, and historical trends seem to support his optimism: Since the establishment of the Chinese Association for Integrative Medicine in 1990, its membership has surged from a handful to thousands. “The profound effectiveness of this integrative practice sometimes astonishes even me,” Dr. Li admits. “I am committed to exploring every avenue to aid my patients. That is the essence of my vocation.” 8. What is the opinion of some of Dr. Li’s colleagues regarding his methods? A. They consider him unconventional. B. They perceive him as overly strict. C. They admire his courage. D. They find him impolite. 9. What motivated Dr. Li to explore acupuncture for his patients? A. His academic training in acupuncture. B. The influence of a fellow practitioner. C. His personal benefits from acupuncture. D. A desire to reduce medical costs for patients. 10. What is the main focus of paragraph 3? A. The procedural details of acupuncture treatment. B. The intricacies involved in a medical practitioner’s work. C. The rarity of certain diseases in patients. D. The tangible benefits of integrative medicine. 11. Why does the author refer to the Chinese Association for Integrative Medicine? A To validate Dr. Li’s perspective. B. To highlight the association’s significance. C. To commend the dedication of medical practitioners. D. To promote the cause of patient advocacy. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了李明医生如何将传统中医针灸与现代医学科学相结合，治疗病人并取得显著效果。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Despite the skepticism from some peers, Dr. Li remains undeterred by their occasional ridicule.(尽管一些同行持怀疑态度，但李博士仍然没有被他们偶尔的嘲笑吓倒)”可知，一些同行对李明医生的方法持怀疑态度，并且偶尔会嘲笑他，这表明他们认为他的方法非传统。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It was through acupuncture, an age-old Chinese medical technique, that he found remarkable improvement after just a few sessions.(正是通过针灸，一种古老的中国医学技术，他在几次治疗后就发现了显著的改善。)”可知，李明医生通过针灸这种古老的中医技术，在几次治疗后就显著改善了自己的严重背痛，个人从针灸中受益是他探索针灸用于病人的动机。故选C项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Consider the case of Zhang Wei's father, who suffered from chronic migraines. Zhang was at the brink of despair, ready to concede to the relentless pain, but Dr. Li's integrative approach not only alleviated his symptoms but also significantly improved his quality of life. Similarly, Chen Yu recounts how her mother, after a stroke, regained mobility and speech function following a series of acupuncture sessions.(以张伟的父亲为例，他患有慢性偏头痛。张处于绝望的边缘，准备向无情的痛苦让步，但李医生的综合方法不仅减轻了他的症状，而且显著提高了他的生活质量。同样，陈宇讲述了她的母亲如何在中风后，通过一系列针灸治疗恢复了行动能力和语言功能。)”可知，第三段主要讲述了通过整合医学的实践，李明医生不仅缓解了患者的症状，还显著提高了他们的生活质量，这体现了整合医学的具体益处。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Since the establishment of the Chinese Association for Integrative Medicine in 1990, its membership has surged from a handful to thousands.(这表明自1990年成立以来，中国整合医学协会的会员数量从少数激增到数千人)”可知，作者引用此协会是为了证实李明医生的观点，即整合医学方法将获得更广泛的接受。故选A项。 D Teachers across America are struggling to decide whether to view artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT as friends or enemies in the classroom. Our study on whether AI affects student creativity shows that the answer isn’t always simple. In the study, we asked college students to brainstorm — without technology — all the ways a paper clip can be used. A month later, we asked them to do the same, but using ChatGPT. We found that AI can be a useful brainstorming tool, quickly generating ideas that can spark creative exploration. But there are also potential negative effects on students’ creative thinking skills and self-confidence. While students reported that it was helpful to “have another brain”, they also felt that using AI was “the easy way out” and didn’t allow them to think on their own. The results call for a thoughtful approach to using AI in classrooms and striking a balance that inspires students’ creativity while utilizing AI’s capabilities. The good news is that the students in our study generated more diverse and detailed ideas when using AI. They found that AI was useful for kick-starting brainstorming sessions. When it comes to brainstorming with AI, some students voiced concerns about over-reliance on the technology, fearing it might hurt their own thoughts and, consequently, confidence in their creative abilities. Some students reported a “fixation of the mind”, meaning that once they saw the AI’s ideas, they had a hard time coming up with their own. Some students also questioned the originality of ideas generated by AI. Our research noted that while using ChatGPT improved students’ creative output individually, the AI’s ideas tended to be repetitive overall. The study results indicate that allowing students to practice creativity independently first will strengthen their belief in themselves and their abilities. Once they complete this, AI can be useful in furthering their learning, much like teaching long division to students before introducing a calculator. That’s to say, teaching students to be creative thinkers rather than rely on AI for answers is the key to answering the question mentioned above. 12. Why were the students required to use ChatGPT after a month in the study? A. To clarify a concept. B. To make a comparison. C. To explain a definition. D. To present an argument. 13. What does the underlined word “utilizing” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Learning. B. Designing. C. Taking advantage of. D. Having control of. 14. What does paragraph 4 focus on concerning AI? A. Its negative aspects. B. Its limited creativity. C. Its reliable originality. D. Its potential development. 15. What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph? A. The future of AI use is uncertain. B. Traditional teaching still has a place. C. AI’s capabilities are unquestionable. D. Human creativity should come first. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要讨论了将ChatGPT等人工智能引入课堂的利弊。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“In the study, we asked college students to brainstorm — without technology — all the ways a paper clip can be used. A month later, we asked them to do the same, but using ChatGPT. We found that AI can be a useful brainstorming tool, quickly generating ideas that can spark creative exploration. But there are also potential negative effects on students’ creative thinking skills and self-confidence.”（在这项研究中，我们要求大学生在没有技术的情况下进行头脑风暴，思考回形针的所有使用方法。一个月后，我们要求他们做同样的事情，但使用ChatGPT。我们发现人工智能可以成为一个有用的头脑风暴工具，快速产生可以激发创造性探索的想法。但这对学生的创造性思维能力和自信心也有潜在的负面影响。）可知，在研究中，让学生们在一个月之后使用ChatGPT来思考回形针的所有使用方法，是为了对比一个月之前的研究结果，从而探讨ChatGPT的利弊。故选B项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“The results call for a thoughtful approach to using AI in classrooms and striking a balance that inspires students’ creativity while utilizing AI’s capabilities. The good news is that the students in our study generated more diverse and detailed ideas when using AI.”（研究结果要求在课堂上使用人工智能，并在激发学生创造力和utilizing人工智能能力之间取得平衡。好消息是，我们研究中的学生在使用人工智能时产生了更多样化和详细的想法。）可知，“utilizing 人工智能能力”应与激发学生的创造力之间取得平衡，根据前文“using AI in classrooms”及后文“using AI”可知，此处“utilizing”应与“using”同义，表示在激发学生创造力和使用人工智能能力之间取得平衡。C项“Taking advantage of”表示“利用”与“utilizing”同义。故选C项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“When it comes to brainstorming with AI, some students voiced concerns about over-reliance on the technology, fearing it might hurt their own thoughts and, consequently, confidence in their creative abilities. Some students reported a “fixation of the mind”, meaning that once they saw the AI’s ideas, they had a hard time coming up with their own. Some students also questioned the originality of ideas generated by AI. Our research noted that while using ChatGPT improved students’ creative output individually, the AI’s ideas tended to be repetitive overall.”（当谈到与人工智能进行头脑风暴时，一些学生表达了对过度依赖技术的担忧，担心这可能会损害他们自己的想法，从而损害他们对自己创造能力的信心。一些学生提到“思维固定”，这意味着一旦他们看到人工智能的想法，他们就很难想出自己的想法。一些学生还质疑人工智能产生的创意的原创性。我们的研究指出，虽然使用ChatGPT提高了学生个人的创造性产出，但人工智能的想法往往是重复的。）可知，本段主要介绍了学生们对人工智能参与头脑风暴的各种担忧，即人工智能的负面作用。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“The study results indicate that allowing students to practice creativity independently first will strengthen their belief in themselves and their abilities.”（研究结果表明，首先让学生独立实践创造力，可以增强他们对自己的信心和能力。）及最后一句“That’s to say, teaching students to be creative thinkers rather than rely on AI for answers is the key to answering the question mentioned above.”（也就是说，教育学生成为创造性的思考者，而不是依靠人工智能来获得答案，这是回答上述问题的关键。）可知，作者想告诉我们，要拥有独立的创造力，而不是依赖人工智能的答案。故人类的创造力应该放在第一位。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Who can imagine life today without an Automated Teller Machine (ATM)? They are available in considerable numbers throughout the world. The first ATM was the brainchild of an enterprising Turkish-American inventor Luther George Simjian. When the idea of an automated banking machine struck him, he registered 20 patents before any bank agreed to give it a trial run. It is easy to assume that the inventor of such a popular machine was laughing all the way to the bank. ____16____ Within six months of its operation in New York in 1939, the device was removed due to lack of customer acceptance. It was not until 1967, nearly 30 years later, that Barclays Bank, in a careful launch, rolled out a self-service machine in London, England, which proved successful. ____17____ The first cash machine relied on customers’ use of prepaid tokens (代币) to get envelopes with a fixed amount of cash inside. ____18____ The banks’ principle was seemingly customer service. But it would be foolish to minimize the many advantages that cash machines provided to the banks themselves. By the late 1970s, the highest fixed cost for the average large bank was its branches. The greatest variable cost and loss to profits were its staff. Bank accounts swiftly recognized that self-service operations could reduce bank branch staff cost by70 percent. Experts quickly determined that public acceptance of ATMs counted on convenience, simplicity, speed, security and trust. ____19____ For maximum efficiency, ATMs had to be located near public transport or in a shopping mall, not at a branch. The busier and more crowded the location, obviously, the better. Now, roughly 75 percent of all cash provided by banks to their customers comes from cash machines. ____20____. Public acceptance of deposits (存款) by machine was significantly slower than customers’ usage of ATMs for withdrawals. In general, it seems that customers sometimes still prefer and trust an over-the-counter transaction (交易) for deposits. A. Location, in particular, was a key factor. B. His cash machine, however, didn’t prove durable. C. The device was relatively primitive, at least by today’s standards. D. However, cash machines posed some interesting, unanswered questions. E. An interesting factor was the issue of bio-statistics for customer identification. F. Devices originally dismissed by the public are now recognized as essential institutions. G. Soon afterwards, many other banks became admittedly champions of the cash machine. 【答案】16. B 17. C 18. G 19. A 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了自动取款机(ATM)的发展历程和其在现代生活中的重要性。 【16题详解】 根据上文“It is easy to assume that the inventor of such a popular machine was laughing all the way to the bank.(人们很容易认为，这样一台受欢迎机器的发明者一定赚得盆满钵满)”和下文“Within six months of its operation in New York in 1939, the device was removed due to lack of customer acceptance.(1939年，该设备在纽约运行了六个月后，由于缺乏客户接受，该设备被拆除)”可知，上下文有转折关系，B项“His cash machine, however, didn’t prove durable.(然而，他的取款机并没有经受住时间的考验)”承上启下，说明设想和现实有差距，引出下文第一台取款机的真实命运，上下文语意连贯。故选B项。 【17题详解】 下文“The first cash machine relied on customers’ use of prepaid tokens (代币) to get envelopes with a fixed amount of cash inside.(第一台自动取款机依靠顾客使用预付代币来获得装有固定数量现金的信封)”介绍了第一台自动取款机的工作原理：用预付代币来换取现金信封，是对C项“The device was relatively primitive, at least by today’s standards.(这个装置相对来说比较原始，至少以今天的标准来看是这样)”的说明，说明第一台自动取款机比较原始的工作原理，上下文语意连贯。故选C项。 【18题详解】 下文“The banks’ principle was seemingly customer service. But it would be foolish to minimize the many advantages that cash machines provided to the banks themselves. By the late 1970s, the highest fixed cost for the average large bank was its branches. The greatest variable cost and loss to profits were its staff. Bank accounts swiftly recognized that self-service operations could reduce bank branch staff cost by70 percent.(银行的原则似乎是客户服务。但是，低估自动取款机给银行自身带来的诸多好处是愚蠢的。到20世纪70年代末，大型银行的平均固定成本最高的是其分支机构。最大的可变成本和利润损失是它的员工。银行账户很快意识到，自助服务可以将银行分行的员工成本降低70%)”说明了自动取款机给银行带来的诸多好处，解释了G项“Soon afterwards, many other banks became admittedly champions of the cash machine.(不久之后，许多其他银行成为公认的自动提款机的拥护者)”中描述的这一现象，许多银行为了获益开始使用自动提款机，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。 【19题详解】 下文“For maximum efficiency, ATMs had to be located near public transport or in a shopping mall, not at a branch. The busier and more crowded the location, obviously, the better.(为了最大限度地提高效率，自动取款机必须设在公共交通附近或购物中心，而不是在分行。显然，地点越繁忙、越拥挤越好)”指出自动取款机需要设在公共交通附近或购物中心，是对A项“Location, in particular, was a key factor.(尤其是地理位置，是一个关键因素)”的举例说明，说明地理位置的重要作用。故选A项。 【20题详解】 上文“Now, roughly 75 percent of all cash provided by banks to their customers comes from cash machines.(现在，银行提供给客户的现金中，大约75%来自自动取款机)”谈及自动取款机的普及和广泛使用，F项“Devices originally dismissed by the public are now recognized as essential institutions.(最初被公众忽视的设备现在被认为是不可或缺的设施)”承接上文，总结自动取款机命运的变化，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分30分） 第一节（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Shane Porter knew clearly that he was dying of cancer when he one day came home with a rusty (生锈的) 1969 Jeepster Commando.

It is unbelievable that Mr Lucas leads a simple life________his great wealth. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】despite 【解析】 【详解】考查介词。句意：令人难以置信的是，卢卡斯先生虽然很富有，却过着简朴的生活。设空处使用介词与后文构成介词短语作状语。表示“尽管”用despite。故填despite。 44. ________(equip) with new scientific farming methods, they have been able to use less farmland to produce more. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】Equipped 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：由于配备了新的科学耕作方式，他们可以用更少的土地生产更多的粮食产品。根据句意和句子结构可知，此处应用equip的过去分词作状语，表示原因，动词equip和主语之间是被动关系。句首字母大写，故填Equipped。 45.

The temperature was below zero so I rushed into the subway station, hoping to get warm. Warmth came to my body as I settled onto a bench with a cup of hot coffee. Now I was ready to relax and do some serious people-watching. I noticed a homeless man seated nearby. The pleasant smell of delicious food from the subway food court(美食广场) was attracting me to consider an early dinner. From the longing look in my neighbor’s eyes, it was obvious that he, too, noticed the good smell. I wondered how long it had been since he had eaten anything, expecting he would approach me for some food. But he never did. My head and heart were battling it out: the former telling me to mind my own business, and the latter urging me to make an immediate trip to the food court for him. While this inner debate was fierce, a well-dressed young couple suddenly approached. “Excuse me, sir,” began the husband. “We just finished eating and our appetite wasn’t as big as we thought. We hate to waste food. Can you help us out and put this to good use?” The kind stranger handed a large container with food. “Thank you.” came the grateful reply. Feeling good about what I had seen, but disappointed by my own lack of action, I observed my neighbor’s response to his sudden good fortune. He lifted the soup, cupping his hands around the steaming bowl. It was obvious that he was going to enjoy this miracle meal. He opened mouth and suddenly, he stopped. The reason for this unexpected behavior soon became clear. Entering the hall was a new arrival, in his seventies, without a hat and gloves. His lightweight jacket was a poor protection against cold. His face and hands were red and damaged. People around focused on him with pity and whispered at this sad sight. 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。 My neighbor was the only one taking action. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went to buy food from the food court, with tears welling up in my eyes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】My neighbor was the only one taking action. Quickly putting aside his miracle meal, my neighbour stood up and guided the elderly man to share his seat. Hardly had he seated himself when my neighbour tenderly put his jacket over the elderly man’s shoulders. He said with a smile, “Can you help out?”, passing the meal and placing the steaming cup of soup in his hands. The old man obviously was astonished, but he accepted it with gratitude. Seeing this, I was so ashamed of myself. At the moment, my head and heart stopped battling, determined to buy a meal for my neighbour. I went to buy food from the food court, with tears welling up in my eyes. What my neighbour said exactly spoke my mind. Despite a sense of guilt in my heart, I felt it was my job to do the same. After a while, I came back with steaming soup and a sandwich. I approached my neighbour respectfully, “Can you help me out?” I asked. “Why not?” He responded jokingly. People around cast admiring look on me, which made me relieved. It wasn’t until that day that I truly understand the meaning of sharing. I left the subway station, feeling warmer, even if the bitter cold wind filled the air. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在地铁站喝咖啡取暖时，注意到身边的流浪汉期待作者能施舍食物给他，但是作者很矛盾，感觉自己应该少管闲事，但又想帮助流浪汉，带他去美食广场。这时，一对年轻夫妇给了这位流浪汉热气腾腾的食物。流浪汉准备享受大餐，但突然他停了下来，因为他看到了一个七十多岁的看起来更可怜的人。 【详解】段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我旁边的人是唯一一个采取行动的人。”可知，第一段可描写流浪汉引导老人坐在座位上，并将自己的衣服和热汤给老人，作者停止挣扎，做出了决定。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我去美食广场买食物时，泪水模糊了我的视线。”可知，第二段可描写作者买了热汤和三明治给流浪汉和老人，流浪汉邀请作者一起吃三明治，作者学会了分享的意义，感受到温暖。 2.续写线索： 流浪汉引导老人坐下——流浪汉让老人穿上羽绒服，喝热汤——作者做出决定——作者买热汤和三明治——与流浪汉分享——作者学会分享的意义 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①放置：place/put ②决定：determine/decide ③接近：approach/draw near 情绪类 ①惊讶的：astonished/surprised ②感激：gratitude /appreciation 【点睛】【高分句型1】Seeing this, I was so ashamed of myself.（运用了现在分词作状语） 【高分句型2】People around cast admiring look on me, which made me relieved.（运用了强which引导的非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
