At www. tripinsiders. org, we aim to provide you with the best insider secrets in the travel business. And on this website, we also offer a state-of-the-art travel comparison tool to make planning easier than ever. Here are some insider tips that we'd like to share with you about flights. Look for Glitch (小故障) Fares Online booking systems for airfare don’t come without a pricing mistake every once in a while. Follow deal-minded travel sites and blogs to learn about pricing mistakes that work in your favor. This is the most useful if you live near a major airport and have a flexible schedule. Consider Alternate Airports Some major cities have more than one airport, so make sure to check them all for the cheapest fares. For example, if you’re planning to visit the Bay Area of California, check for rates in both San Francisco International Airport and Oakland International Airport. Cross the Border by Land Domestic flights are often cheaper than international ones, so if you live near a border and want to fly to a neighboring country, you can save by crossing the border by land and then catching a domestic flight. For example, Toronto residents may save by crossing the American border into Buffalo and then flying to another American city. Use a Digital Luggage Scale There’s nothing more frustrating than learning that your bag is too heavy to fly or that it’ll cost you extra when you arrive at the airport. Digital luggage scales are great for making sure that you’re not going over the baggage limit with your new souvenirs. 21. What is the main purpose of www.tripinsiders.org ? A. To recommend travel websites. B. To fund the travel business. C. To advertise a travel agency. D. To uncover travel business secrets. 22. What is advised for air travel? A. Selecting airports. B. Flying the border. C Carrying more baggage. D. Having a fixed schedule. 23. What do the four tips have in common? A. They cover all aspects of a trip. B. They help travelers save money. C. They merely apply to businessmen. D. They are only for Toronto residents. B Are your keys not in the spot you thought you left them? Can’t recall the title of a book? I’ve had those moments. Such instances of “brain freeze” remind us that we should do everything in our power to keep our brains sharp. A new study finds Tai Chi study can help slow cognitive (认知的) decline and protect against dementia (痴呆). The study included about 300 older adults, in their mid-70s on average, who had all reported that their memory was not as good as it used to be. As part of the study, all the participants took a 10-mirrute test called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. A normal score is 26-30. A person who scores between 18 and 25 is considered to have mild impairment (损害), which means they don’t have dementia but they’re not as sharp as they used to be and may need to work harder to maintain everyday activities. Once their score drops under 18, people experience quite a bit of impairment from memory loss and cognitive decline. The average score of participant s at the start of the study was 25. The study found that people who practiced a simplified form of Tai Chi twice a week for about six months improved their score by 1.5 points, meaning that they’re going to get three extra years before they hit that decline into dementia. Researchers also tested a more stricter type of Tai Chi, called Cognitively Enhanced Tai Chi, where they provided extra challenges. For example, participants were asked to spell a word, backward and forward, as they moved through a series of Tai Chi moves. The people who practice this type of cognitively enhanced Tai Chi improved their scores by about 3 points, meaning they are given six extra years of cognitive function. The theory on why Tai Chi is effective is that it combines the memorization of the movements, known as forms, almost like composing dancing moves. 24. Why are two questions raised in the first paragraph? A. To present the author’s doubts. B. To expect answers from readers. C. To analyze the causes of forgetfulness. D. To introduce the main topic of the text. 25. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. Cognitive assessment methods. B. The process of running the test. C Cognitive measurement criteria. D. The test results of the participants. 26. What does the pre-best average score of the participants imply? A. Most of them suffer from, dementia. B. They remain as quick-minded as before. C. Many of them have slight cognitive decline. D. They can protect themselves against dementia. 27. Why does Tai Chi have a positive impact? A. It helps resolve challenges. B. It involves mind-body movements. C. It puts off cognitive decline by three years. D. It improves the participants academic level. C Kids can boost their brainpower by cooking, gardening and cleaning around the house, according to new research. A study of 207 children found regular household tasks—like making meals and caring for plants — are associated with better planning, self-regulation and remembering instructions. Lead researcher Deanna Tepper said the results suggest housework could have benefits for children’s executive (执行的) functioning. Collected from children aged 5 to 13, the results show older children are more likely to do housework than younger ones and girls do more housework than boys. For example, only 49 percent of boys but 70 percent of girls make their own bed. Loading the dishwasher is a job for 55 percent of children, including 50 percent of boys and 61 percent of girls. Only 34 percent of five to seven-year-olds do this task, rising to 64 percent of those aged 11 to 13. “Parents may be able to use age- and ability-appropriate housework to assist with the development of executive functions,” Ms Tepper said. “Children who cook a family meal or weed the garden on a regular basis may be more likely to excel in other aspects of life — like schoolwork or problem solving.” Ms Tepper said making a meal or cooking for others is linked to better working memory and the ability to think before acting. “Typically, these skills begin to develop in early childhood and continue to develop into late adolescence (青春期) and early adulthood,” Ms Tepper said. “Damage or delays in executive functioning development can lead to difficulties in the ability to self-regulate, plan and problem-solve, having effects later in life on reading performance and mathematical ability, as well as overall academic achievement in later childhood.” The study was conducted during Covid lockdowns, with half of parents reporting that their child was doing the same amount of housework as before the pandemic (流行病) and 37 percent saying their child was doing more. 28. How can doing housework benefit children? A. By keeping their physical health. B. By helping them learn more skills. C. By making their parents love them more. D. By improving the power of their brain. 29. What does the new research data focus on in paragraph 2? A. Time and efficiency. B. Gender and age. C. Status and discipline. D. Mood and intelligence. 30 What does the underlined word “excel” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Be better. B. Be calmer. C. Be braver. D. Be lovelier. 31. What can executive functions bring for children? A. Rapid progress in acting. B. Quality of pitying others. C Wonderful achievements in school. D. Chance of challenging authorities. 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. 32. 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. 33. What does the underlined word “utilizing” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Learning. B. Designing. C. Taking advantage of. D. Having control of. 34. What does paragraph 4 focus on concerning AI? A. Its negative aspects. B. Its limited creativity. C. Its reliable originality. D. Its potential development. 35. 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。 It is the beginning of a new school year, but for many, it may be their last.

He was brought up by his dear grandma, who was now in her eighties and in poor health. David was so excellent at his studies that he was admitted into his ideal college. He developed friendship with Christ when they were seated next to each other on the first college day. They were like brothers. Whenever Christ was challenged with those difficult courses, David was always there to help Christ. Christ showed his thanks to David from the bottom of his heart, saying, “Without your help, I couldn’t get on well with my studies. I really don’t know how to repay your help.” David responded, “We are good friends. It’s natural for us to help each other.” It was the early morning of Saturday. David had a fever and couldn’t get out of bed. Christ took good care of him. He cooked David some soup and then gave him some medicine. He thought a sound sleep would help David get better. David felt comforted with the care of his friend. Then he fell asleep. David didn’t know how long it had been before he woke up. He saw some food which was newly cooked on the table and there was also a note, which read, “Take the food and you will get better. I need to be away for several days. Take good care of yourself. Christ.” He didn’t detail David about what he was going to do. Later someone told David that Christ bought a bus ticket to David’s hometown. David felt confused. But he thought that maybe Christ had something personal to attend to and it was not suitable to tell him. On Monday, David got better and went to classes. Obviously, Christ was not there. He missed the classes. 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。 In the evening, Christ came back and meanwhile David received a call from his grandma, requesting whether Christ had returned to the college safely. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On learning about this, David suddenly realized the truth. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 普集高中2024—2025学年度第一学期高 三年级第 1 次月考 （ 英语 ）试题（卷） 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分，满分5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What can we learn from the conversation?

W: And are you planning to leave your current job to study, or are you thinking about taking a year off? M: I’d like to do a course without quitting my job. W: So you don’t really want to do the full time course then. M: Not really. My office agrees to pay the cost of the course itself, but I have to take unpaid leave if I want to study full time, and I can’t afford to support myself with no salary for a whole year. W: OK, well then you can either do the part time course which lasts for two years, or what we call a modular course. You could do that in eighteen months if you want or longer. It’s quite flexible. M: The modular course sounds attractive. I’ll take that. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. What do we know about Camp Alison? A. It is the oldest day camp in the UK. B.

It was founded twenty years ago by British couple Susan and Mike dino. They had been employed in Australia and thought the idea would work well in the UK too. After five years of opening, Camp Allison has now operated on ten sites in the London area. Day camps are organized throughout the summer and are open to children and teenagers between six and sixteen. The camps are hosted at schools and colleges that would normally be closed in the summer. This allows camp Allison to have its day camps on sites that have excellent grounds and equipment, particularly for sport. Campers usually arrive at about 8:30 a. m. and spend the day doing a range of activities. Sporting, artistic and adventurous, the pick up time for parents is around 4:30 p. m.. The camp is based on a weekly program, but it is possible to have three day programs and even single day taster programs to see if young people like the experience. All the sites have sports halls and indoor swimming pools. If it is too wet or cold for the organized outdoor activities, camps have their own directors who plan everything and have a lot of experience. All camps are regularly inspected.

At www. tripinsiders. org, we aim to provide you with the best insider secrets in the travel business. And on this website, we also offer a state-of-the-art travel comparison tool to make planning easier than ever. Here are some insider tips that we'd like to share with you about flights. Look for Glitch (小故障) Fares Online booking systems for airfare don’t come without a pricing mistake every once in a while. Follow deal-minded travel sites and blogs to learn about pricing mistakes that work in your favor. This is the most useful if you live near a major airport and have a flexible schedule. Consider Alternate Airports Some major cities have more than one airport, so make sure to check them all for the cheapest fares. For example, if you’re planning to visit the Bay Area of California, check for rates in both San Francisco International Airport and Oakland International Airport. Cross the Border by Land Domestic flights are often cheaper than international ones, so if you live near a border and want to fly to a neighboring country, you can save by crossing the border by land and then catching a domestic flight. For example, Toronto residents may save by crossing the American border into Buffalo and then flying to another American city. Use a Digital Luggage Scale There’s nothing more frustrating than learning that your bag is too heavy to fly or that it’ll cost you extra when you arrive at the airport. Digital luggage scales are great for making sure that you’re not going over the baggage limit with your new souvenirs. 21. What is the main purpose of www.tripinsiders.org ? A. To recommend travel websites. B. To fund the travel business. C. To advertise a travel agency. D. To uncover travel business secrets. 22. What is advised for air travel? A. Selecting airports. B. Flying the border. C. Carrying more baggage. D. Having a fixed schedule. 23. What do the four tips have in common? A. They cover all aspects of a trip. B. They help travelers save money. C They merely apply to businessmen. D. They are only for Toronto residents. 【答案】21. D 22. A 23.

Digital luggage scales are great for making sure that you’re not going over the baggage limit with your new souvenirs.(没有什么比得知你的行李太重而不能飞行或者当你到达机场时需要额外支付费用更令人沮丧的了。电子行李秤可以很好地确保你携带的新纪念品不会超过行李限额)”可推知，四个贴士都与节约费用有关，都能帮助旅行者省钱。故选B。 B Are your keys not in the spot you thought you left them? Can’t recall the title of a book? I’ve had those moments. Such instances of “brain freeze” remind us that we should do everything in our power to keep our brains sharp. A new study finds Tai Chi study can help slow cognitive (认知的) decline and protect against dementia (痴呆). The study included about 300 older adults, in their mid-70s on average, who had all reported that their memory was not as good as it used to be. As part of the study, all the participants took a 10-mirrute test called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. A normal score is 26-30. A person who scores between 18 and 25 is considered to have mild impairment (损害), which means they don’t have dementia but they’re not as sharp as they used to be and may need to work harder to maintain everyday activities. Once their score drops under 18, people experience quite a bit of impairment from memory loss and cognitive decline. The average score of participant s at the start of the study was 25. The study found that people who practiced a simplified form of Tai Chi twice a week for about six months improved their score by 1.5 points, meaning that they’re going to get three extra years before they hit that decline into dementia. Researchers also tested a more stricter type of Tai Chi, called Cognitively Enhanced Tai Chi, where they provided extra challenges. For example, participants were asked to spell a word, backward and forward, as they moved through a series of Tai Chi moves. The people who practice this type of cognitively enhanced Tai Chi improved their scores by about 3 points, meaning they are given six extra years of cognitive function. The theory on why Tai Chi is effective is that it combines the memorization of the movements, known as forms, almost like composing dancing moves. 24. Why are two questions raised in the first paragraph? A. To present the author’s doubts. B. To expect answers from readers. C To analyze the causes of forgetfulness. D. To introduce the main topic of the text. 25. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. Cognitive assessment methods. B. The process of running the test. C. Cognitive measurement criteria. D. The test results of the participants. 26. What does the pre-best average score of the participants imply? A. Most of them suffer from, dementia. B. They remain as quick-minded as before. C. Many of them have slight cognitive decline. D. They can protect themselves against dementia. 27. Why does Tai Chi have a positive impact? A. It helps resolve challenges. B. It involves mind-body movements. C. It puts off cognitive decline by three years. D. It improves the participants academic level. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述练太极拳有助于减缓认知衰退和预防痴呆。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Such instances of “brain freeze” remind us that we should do everything in our power to keep our brains sharp.(这些“大脑冻结”的例子提醒我们，我们应该尽我们所能保持我们的大脑敏锐)”和第二段的“A new study finds Tai Chi can help slow cognitive (认知的) decline and protect against dementia (痴呆).(一项新研究发现太极拳有助于减缓认知衰退和预防痴呆)”可推知，文章开头的两个问题是为了引出“练太极拳有助于减缓认知衰退和预防痴呆”这个主题。故选D项。 【25题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“As part of the study, all the participants took a 10-mirrute test called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. A normal score is 26-30. A person who scores between 18 and 25 is considered to have mild impairment (损害), which means they don’t have dementia but they’re not as sharp as they used to be and may need to work harder to maintain everyday activities, Once their score drops under 18, people experience quite a bit of impairment from memory loss and cognitive decline.(作为研究的一部分，所有参与者都参加了一个名为蒙特利尔认知评估的10分钟测试。正常的分数是26-30。得分在18到25分之间的人被认为有轻度损伤，这意味着他们没有痴呆症，但他们不像以前那么敏锐，可能需要更加努力地来维持日常活动，一旦他们的得分降至18分以下，人们经历相当多的记忆丧失和认知能力下降的损害)”可知，本段主要内容是认知测量标准。故选C项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“The average score of participants at the start of the study was 25.(研究开始时，参与者的平均得分是25分)”以及第三段“A person who scores between 18 and 25 is considered to have mild impairment (损害), which means they don’t have dementia but they’re not as sharp as they used to be and may need to work harder to maintain everyday activities.(得分在18到25分之间的人被认为有轻度损伤，这意味着他们没有痴呆症，但他们不像以前那么敏捷，可能需要更加努力地维持日常活动)”可知，他们中的许多人有轻微的认知能力下降。故选C项。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The theory on why Tai Chi is effective is that it combines the memorization of the movements, known as forms, almost like composing dancing moves.(为什么太极拳有效的理论是，它结合了动作的记忆，几乎像编排舞蹈动作)”可知，太极之所以起到积极作用是因为它涉及身心运动。故选B项。 C Kids can boost their brainpower by cooking, gardening and cleaning around the house, according to new research. A study of 207 children found regular household tasks—like making meals and caring for plants — are associated with better planning, self-regulation and remembering instructions. Lead researcher Deanna Tepper said the results suggest housework could have benefits for children’s executive (执行的) functioning. Collected from children aged 5 to 13, the results show older children are more likely to do housework than younger ones and girls do more housework than boys. For example, only 49 percent of boys but 70 percent of girls make their own bed. Loading the dishwasher is a job for 55 percent of children, including 50 percent of boys and 61 percent of girls. Only 34 percent of five to seven-year-olds do this task, rising to 64 percent of those aged 11 to 13. “Parents may be able to use age- and ability-appropriate housework to assist with the development of executive functions,” Ms Tepper said. “Children who cook a family meal or weed the garden on a regular basis may be more likely to excel in other aspects of life — like schoolwork or problem solving.” Ms Tepper said making a meal or cooking for others is linked to better working memory and the ability to think before acting. “Typically, these skills begin to develop in early childhood and continue to develop into late adolescence (青春期) and early adulthood,” Ms Tepper said. “Damage or delays in executive functioning development can lead to difficulties in the ability to self-regulate, plan and problem-solve, having effects later in life on reading performance and mathematical ability, as well as overall academic achievement in later childhood.” The study was conducted during Covid lockdowns, with half of parents reporting that their child was doing the same amount of housework as before the pandemic (流行病) and 37 percent saying their child was doing more. 28. How can doing housework benefit children? A. By keeping their physical health. B. By helping them learn more skills. C. By making their parents love them more. D. By improving the power of their brain. 29. What does the new research data focus on in paragraph 2? A. Time and efficiency. B. Gender and age. C. Status and discipline. D. Mood and intelligence. 30. What does the underlined word “excel” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Be better. B. Be calmer. C. Be braver. D. Be lovelier. 31. What can executive functions bring for children? A. Rapid progress in acting. B. Quality of pitying others. C. Wonderful achievements in school. D. Chance of challenging authorities. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于做家务的研究：孩子们可以通过做饭、园艺和打扫房间来提高他们的智力。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Kids can boost their brainpower by cooking, gardening and cleaning around the house, according to new research. (一项新研究表明，孩子们可以通过做饭、园艺和打扫房间来提高他们的智力。)”可知，做家务可以提高孩子们的智力。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Collected from children aged 5 to 13, the results show older children are more likely to do housework than younger ones and girls do more housework than boys. (调查对象是5至13岁的孩子，结果显示，年龄较大的孩子比年龄较小的孩子更有可能做家务，女孩比男孩做家务更多。)”可知，该研究主要涉及的是孩子的年龄和性别。故选B。 【30题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第三段“Ms Tepper said making a meal or cooking for others is linked to better working memory and the ability to think before acting. (泰珀女士说，为别人做饭或做饭与更好的工作记忆和行动前思考的能力有关。)”可知，画线的单词的意思指的是在其他的方面更好。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“ Children who cook a family meal or weed the garden on a regular basis may be more likely to excel in other aspects of life—like schoolwork or problem solving. (经常为家人做饭或在花园里除草的孩子可能更有可能在生活的其他方面表现出色，比如学业或解决问题的能力。)”经常为家人做饭或在花园除草的孩子也可能在生活的其他方面表现出色，如学业或就业，可知，执行力能够给孩子带来学业上出色的表现。故选C。 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. 32. 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. 33. What does the underlined word “utilizing” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Learning. B. Designing. C Taking advantage of. D. Having control of. 34. What does paragraph 4 focus on concerning AI? A. Its negative aspects. B. Its limited creativity. C. Its reliable originality. D. Its potential development. 35. 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】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. 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。 【32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。 【33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。 【34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。 【35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。 It is the beginning of a new school year, but for many, it may be their last.

He was brought up by his dear grandma, who was now in her eighties and in poor health. David was so excellent at his studies that he was admitted into his ideal college. He developed friendship with Christ when they were seated next to each other on the first college day. They were like brothers. Whenever Christ was challenged with those difficult courses, David was always there to help Christ. Christ showed his thanks to David from the bottom of his heart, saying, “Without your help, I couldn’t get on well with my studies. I really don’t know how to repay your help.” David responded, “We are good friends. It’s natural for us to help each other.” It was the early morning of Saturday. David had a fever and couldn’t get out of bed. Christ took good care of him. He cooked David some soup and then gave him some medicine. He thought a sound sleep would help David get better. David felt comforted with the care of his friend. Then he fell asleep. David didn’t know how long it had been before he woke up. He saw some food which was newly cooked on the table and there was also a note, which read, “Take the food and you will get better. I need to be away for several days. Take good care of yourself. Christ.” He didn’t detail David about what he was going to do. Later someone told David that Christ bought a bus ticket to David’s hometown. David felt confused. But he thought that maybe Christ had something personal to attend to and it was not suitable to tell him. On Monday, David got better and went to classes. Obviously, Christ was not there. He missed the classes. 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。 In the evening, Christ came back and meanwhile David received a call from his grandma, requesting whether Christ had returned to the college safely. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On learning about this, David suddenly realized the truth. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 In the evening, Christ came back and meanwhile David received a call from his grandma, requesting whether Christ had returned to the college safely. David was surprised to hear his grandma’s voice, as she rarely called him during the week. He assured her that Christ was fine and had just stepped out for a bit. However, the concern in her tone made David uneasy. He decided to wait for Christ to return and get to the bottom of the matter. On learning about this, David suddenly realized the truth. He remembered the note Christ had left, the bus ticket to his hometown, and the absence of his friend during the days he was sick. David’s heart sank as he pieced together the puzzle. Christ had gone to his hometown to take care of his ailing grandmother. David’s mind raced with gratitude and guilt. He had been so focused on his own recovery that he hadn’t considered the possibility of Christ’s sacrifice. David quickly dialed Christ’s number, eager to apologize for not understanding sooner. The two friends shared a moment of profound understanding, their bond strengthened by the selfless act of care and the mutual respect it represented. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物关系为线索展开，讲述了David父母双亡，由奶奶抚养长大，大学时他和Christ之间建立了深厚的友谊，David帮助Christ学习，Christ在David生病时照顾他，后来Christ突然离开，有人告诉David，Christ买了一张去David家乡的汽车票，David感到困惑，后来David痊愈去上课时依然没有见到Christ。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“晚上，Christ回来了，同时David接到了他奶奶的一个电话，询问Christ是否安全返回大学。”可知，第一段可描写David对奶奶这个电话的疑惑以及决定等Christ回来问清楚。 ②由第二段首句内容“了解到这件事后，David突然意识到了真相。”可知，第二段可描写David明白Christ是去照顾自己奶奶了，内心充满感动和愧疚。 2.续写线索：接电话——疑惑——等待——明白真相——感动愧疚——联系Christ 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①决定：decide/determine ②照顾：take care of/look after ③道歉：apologize/make an apology 情绪类 ①惊讶：be surprised/be astonished ②感激： gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型 1] David received a call from his grandma, requesting whether Christ had returned to the college safely.（使用了现在分词短语作状语和whether引导的宾语从句） [高分句型 2] David was surprised to hear his grandma’s voice, as she rarely called him during the week.（使用了as引导的原因状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
