In 1998.I headed from a small town in South Wales to Sheffield University.Sheffield,the UK's fourth biggest city,had it all-clubsy bars,and theaters.It was a huge contrast to my hometown,which hadn't had a cinema until 1997.Sheffield had various choices-I thought I'd love it.But I missed the Wye Valley occasionally. Over time,I settled.Now I've.lived in Sheffield longer than in my hometown.Yet no matter how happy I am in my adopted city,there's always a desire to retum to Wales.The simple answer is that the idea of home doesn't necessarily relate to time spent in a place- instead,it is about a special connection and a feeling of safety. "Homesickness usually comes from being somewhere that doesn't quite feel like home," says psychologist Wendy Dignan."As humans,we create a safe zone ()Some people may not be particularly attached to a place,so they always feel safe.However,others'safe zone might be a particular place,a home,or a familiar person,the absence of which may lead to homesickness.”. There are things you can help yourself if you are struggling with homesickness.Dignan .suggests going to the same coffee shopor gym at a certain time to build a patter of familiarity because,it is a usefultoo for overcoming homesickness and building that all-important safe When souhiniveisdtispsh 【2024205学年第一学期开学调研考试高二年级英语试增第3页共10页】 ['mn fortunate to have a loving family,supportive friends,and a comfortable home in.

Welcome to the world of AI image generation,where you can create what on the surface looks like top-rank artwork using just a few text prompts().But closer examination shows oddities.The face of the woman in my image has very odd features,and appears to be holding multiple books.And,while there's an initial thrill at seeing an image appcar,there's no creative satisfaction AI image gencration could infuece everything from film to graphic novels and more. Children's illustrators were quick to raise concems about the technology.They say Al-generated art is the exact opposite of what art is believed to be.Fundamentally,art is all about translating something that you feel intemally into something that exists extemally.Whatever form it takes, true art is about the creative process much more than it's about the final piece.And simply pressing a button to generate an image is not a creative process. 【20242025学年第-学期开学调研考试.高二年级英语试卷第4页共10页 Beyond creativity,there are deeper isses.To create images from prompts,AI generators rely on databases of already existing art and text.This could lead to the creation of images that are intentionally meant to imitate the style of other artists,without their agreement.There is an argument that AI generators work no differently to humans when it comes to being influenced by others'work.However,a human artist is also adding emotion and slight difference into the mix.AI doesn't do the same-it can only copy. The increasing use of AI will also lead to a devaluing of the work of artists.There's already a negative prejudice towards the crcative industry.People will begin to think that their "work"is as excellent as that created by someone who has spent a career making art.It's nonsense,of course.You can use your mobil phone to take a nice picture of your daughter,but you are no match for professionals. 12.What does the writer think of his image creation? A.Exciting. B.Concemned. C.Unsatisfying. D.Shocking. 13.What do children's illustrators value most about art? A.The final art work. B.Exteral expressions in art. C.The opposite of reality D.The joumey to creation. 14.What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about? AThe ethical concems in AI art imitation. B.Human artists'influence on Al generators. C.The superiority of human artworks. D.The over-reliance of human on technology. 15.Which of the following best summarizes the last paragraph? A.Art is the mirror of life. B.Rome is not built in a day. C.No man can do two things at once. D.Don't judge a book by its cover. 第二节（共5小题：每小题25分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多 余选项。 Whenever we make a choice,whether it's as big as getting married or as small as an arument with a friend,we are driven by our values.Values tend to be single-word ideas like 【2024一2025条年第一学期开学谒研考试高二年级英语试卷第5页共10页】 freedom,equality,selflessness,honesty.16They're a kind of moral GPS we can use to navigate through life.If you know your values,you have dircctions that point you toward the people and actions and habits that are best for you. One way to recognize the values by which you live is look at how you spend your money. 17Do you really spend your money wisely?we often have a strange perspective on what's"worth it",which doesn't quite make sense if you reflect on it later. Pay attention to who you talk to,what you watch.and what you do with your time. _18If you're just going from one day to the next without questioning your values,you'll be swayed by what everyone else-from your family to marketing professionals-wants you to think.A thought comes into my mind and I ask myself:Does this fit my chosen values or those that others have selected for me? 19If you're an overworked parent who wants to make your kids your priority,make friends with other parents who hold the same idea,so you can exchange support and advice. Values make it casier for you to surround yourself with the right people,make tough career choices,and focus your attention where it really matters to you.20 A.All of these push values and beliefs. B.Is your precious time wasted or well spent? C.Your bills actually reflect what matters most to you. D.That might sound rather abstract,but these values are really practical. E.Who you surround yourself with helps you stick to your values and achieve your goals. F.Without them we are swept away by outside voice instead of following our inner voice. G.When we drive through a new area,we wander aimlessly if we don't know the directions. 第二都分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第-节（共15小题：每小翘1分，满分15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。 "Thank you for your participation.But I'm sorry to tell you that you21the interview."I received the email two weeks after interviewing for a position.When I read it,I felt upset because I'd spent hours making22 before the interview and in the end,I didn't even know why I didn't get through."How can I23 my job search approach if I didn't even know what was wrong?"I thought.
