B “I never could have imagined this is how my life could turn out,” says Melody Mnisi. “Now it’s my dream to introduce young people to nature and to inspire young African women like me to believe anything is possible.” Melody is a 23-year-old South African and has just qualified as a field guide. Despite growing up very close to Kruger National Park, a world-famous safari (游猎) destination, she never had the chance to see or enjoy its wildlife. “This was something for white people, not poor black people like me,” she says. “I always wondered what was on the other side of the fence.” But everything changed for Melody when she completed a Wild Shots Outreach (WSO) photography course, learning how to use a camera and going on her first-ever game drive. “I could not believe my eyes, seeing all this wildlife and capturing my memories and stories,” she says. “It is such an honor to be in nature.” WSO is the educational outreach arm of Wild Shots, a photography conference in Africa that ran for nine years prior to 2020. Its aim is to engage disadvantaged young Africans in wildlife conservation through photography and by providing an introduction to the natural world, helping to nurture (培育) the conservationists of tomorrow. The initiative came about in 2015 and was the passion project of Mike Kendrick, a life-science teacher and photographer. Moving to the Greater Kruger area to live in the bush, Mike was discouraged to see the lack of engagement between young South Africans and their natural environment. Not only that, in six years of helping to run Wild Shots, he did not come across a single wildlife, landscape or outdoor photographer of color in South Africa. 4 What can we learn about Melody Mnisi? A. She helped set up WSO. B. She was born a photographer. C. She was grateful to be a field guide. D. She shared photos of wildlife online. 5. What has changed Melody’s life? A. WSO photography course. B. Her willingness to help others. C. Mike Kendrick’s encouragement. D. Her curiosity about the safari destination. 6. Which is among the reasons why WSO is held? A. To raise money. B. To prevent illegal hunting. C. To stop wildlife trade. D. To nurture wildlife protectors. 7. What might be talked about following the last paragraph? A. Comments from Melody. B. The promotion of WSO. C. Poor life of South Africans. D. The details of photographs taking, C Many people view cities largely in negative terms — as crowded, dirty, unhealthy environments that are breeding (繁殖) grounds for disease and crime. People fear that as cities get bigger, living conditions will get worse. To a growing number of economists, urban planners, and environmentalists, urbanization is good news. Many planners now believe big cities offer a solution to dealing with the problem of Earth’s growing population. Harvard economist Edward Glaeser is one person who believes that cities bring largely positive benefits. Glaeser’s optimism is reflected in the title of his book The Triumph of the City. Glaeser argues that poor people flock to cities because that’s usually where the money is. Cities are productive because of “the absence of space between people”, which reduces the cost of transporting goods, people, and ideas. While the flow of goods has always been important to cities, what is most important today is the flow of ideas. Successful cities attract and reward smart people with higher wages, and they enable people to learn from one another. In the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange on Wall Street, employees work in one open, crowded space sharing information. “They value knowledge over space. That’s what the modern city is all about.” Another champion of urbanization is environmentalist Stewart Brand. From an ecological perspective, says Brand, moving people out of cities would be disastrous. Because cities are dense, they allow half of the world’s population to live on about four percent of the land, leaving more space for open country, such as farmland. People living in cities also have less impact per capita (人均) on the environment. Their roads, sewers (下水道) , and power lines are shorter and require fewer resources to build and operate. City apartments require less energy to heat, cool, and light than larger houses in suburbs and rural areas. Most importantly, people living in dense cities drive less. They can walk to many destinations, and public transportation is practical because enough people travel regularly to the same places. As a result, dense cities tend to produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions per person than scattered, sprawling suburbs. Despite the negative aspects such as pollution and serious problems like urban slums, it is a mistake to see urbanization as evil; instead, we should view it as an inevitable part of development. Rapid growth itself is not the real problem — the larger issue is how to manage the growth. 8. Why does the author mention the New York Stock Exchange in Paragraph 2? A. To indicate the space there is valuable. B. To show how goods can be exchanged. C. To illustrate the importance of information flow. D. To describe what a modern city should look like. 9. The underlined word “champion” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to a person who ________. A. advocates something B. challenges something C. achieves something D. protects something 10. Stewart Brand believes that ________. A. urbanization would be more disastrous B. life in cities is more economical than in rural areas C. public transportation consumes more energy in cities D. people living in rural areas have less impact on the environment 11. How does the author support Stewart Brand’s idea in Paragraph 3? A. By quoting authorities. B. By making comparisons. C. By analysing the causes. D. By criticizing opposing views. D We used to write with a pen. Now we generally write on a computer with the help of keyboard. In this digital age, artificial intelligence has become a new type of “pen” which we use to analyze, write and present everything from an article, a thesis, a research paper to a company report, and things alike. Since writing is an essential part of academic life, and since students struggle to produce quality papers, AI powered writing is gaining popularity on campuses. AI is so powerful that it can help with idea development, research design, content development, literature review, data management, as well as help with editing and reviewing of books. AI-powered writing can improve the grammar, structure, and help with citation s and consistency to disciplinary standards. Therefore, AI tools can help students, teachers and researchers to overcome the challenges of academic writing, boost research productivity and improve efficiency. However, AI may seem human, but it is not. It may appear accurate, yet it isn’t. It may look intelligent, yet it is not. It may also seem to understand, but it can’t. An analysis done with the help of AI tools with seemingly high efficiency can be neither valid (有效的) nor reliable. Although AI can help write a seemingly nicely structured, grammatically correct and even precisely referenced paper, its research results can’t be accepted as authentic (真实的), because they cannot fully meet the real purpose of research or education as a whole. That is why many universities have been keeping students from using AI tools for academic writing, and have conducted rules limiting, if not altogether banning the use of Generative AI in academic writing. According to a survey of the world’s 100 top universities by Scriber on their attitude to AI writing tools, 18 percent have banned the use of ChatGPT, although individual instructors could allow its use, 27 percent have no clear guidance or policy, and 51 percent have left the decision on individual instructors. Only 4 percent of the universities allow the use of AI (with citation) unless instructors forbid it. 12. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about? A. The importance of academic writing. B The potential users of AI-powered writing. C. The challenges faced by researchers and scholars. D. The popularity of AI-powered writing on campuses. 13. What may be the author’s attitude towards a research report written by AI? A. Negative. B. Dismissive. C. Positive. D. Unclear. 14. Who have the right to decide the use of Al in academic writing in most universities? A. Fund sponsors. B. Individual instructors. C. Would-be graduates. D. Producers of AI tools. 15. Which idiom can best describe AI-powered writing? A. A wet blanket. B. A pie in the sky. C. A double-edged sword. D. A big fish in a small pond. 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。 How to Fall Back in Love with Reading Do you remember the last time you spent time reading books for pleasure?

Benched? Anxious, Devin sat in the back seat of the car. “I have so much energy!” he said. “Do I really have to sit and watch?” “It’s just for one more game.” Devin’s father said as he drove into the parking lot by the outdoor basketball court. “It’s better to stay on the safe side.” Devin sighed. “It’s been a week since I got injured,” he said. “It doesn’t hurt at all.” But it did hurt when he was in last week’s game. He twisted to avoid a defender and ended up spraining his ankle. “The doctor said 10 days,” his father reminded him. “No jumping. You can ease back into basketball next week.” Devin ran his fingers over the logo on his basketball uniform. He was ready for the game, but he knew he’d be spending it on the bench. The summer season was short — just eight games —and he’d already missed one. “I just want to help my team win,” he said as he got out of the car. “I can’t do that if I’m not on the court.” Devin loved hearing the thump (沉闷的撞击声), thump, thump of basketballs and the feeling of excitement before every game. Hip-hop music from the loudspeaker made him feel like dancing. The energy in the air would make it even harder for him not to participate. Before the game, Coach reminded the players to make smart passes and play tough defense. Without Devin’s leadership and skill, his team would need a huge effort. By halftime, Coach praised the players for their hard work. With Devin unable to play, the team had only one extra player, so no one was getting much rest. The game was fierce. The score stood at 47 to 49 with three minutes left in the game. Devin sat down and rubbed his hands together. “I’m a loser here on the bench. I can do nothing to help.” he thought. Coach called a timeout(比赛暂停) and gathered the players to give some advice. 注意： 1. 续写词数为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答. Suddenly, Coach turned to Devin. “Do you have anything to add?” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The game was over and his team had a two-point victory! ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 陆河外国语学校25届高三九月月考 英语 (考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：120分) 第一部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A If you’re interested in increasing your academic knowledge, consider taking an online college course.

Moving to the Greater Kruger area to live in the bush, Mike was discouraged to see the lack of engagement between young South Africans and their natural environment. Not only that, in six years of helping to run Wild Shots, he did not come across a single wildlife, landscape or outdoor photographer of color in South Africa(这项倡议始于2015年，是生命科学教师兼摄影师Mike Kendrick的热情项目。搬到大克鲁格地区生活在灌木丛中，Mike看到年轻的南非人与自然环境之间缺乏互动感到沮丧。不仅如此，在帮助举办Wild Shots的六年里，他没有遇到一个来自南非的有色人种野生动物、风景或户外摄影师)”可知，文章介绍WSO的实质和目的，以及创立人发动WSO的最初动机，但是在南非却没有得到推广。由此可推知，接下来有可能谈论WSO的推广。故选B。 C Many people view cities largely in negative terms — as crowded, dirty, unhealthy environments that are breeding (繁殖) grounds for disease and crime.

B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文的体裁为议论文。文章围绕城市化这一主题展开，讨论了城市生活的正面与负面看法，并引用了经济学家Edward Glaeser和环保主义者Stewart Brand的观点来支持城市化带来的积极效益，包括促进信息流通、经济效益以及对环境的相对较小影响。文章旨在反驳将城市化视为纯粹负面现象的观点，提倡应视为发展进程中不可避免的一部分，并着重于如何有效管理城市增长的问题。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange on Wall Street, employees work in one open, crowded space sharing information. “They value knowledge over space. That’s what the modern city is all about.” (在华尔街纽约证券交易所的交易大厅里，员工们在一个开放、拥挤的空间里工作，分享信息。“他们认为知识比空间更重要。这就是现代城市的意义所在。”)”可知，在第二段中提到纽约证券交易所的例子，是为了说明人们在同一个开放、拥挤的空间内工作，促进了信息的共享，强调了现代城市重视知识交流而非物理空间的特点。故选C项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“From an ecological perspective, says Brand, moving people out of cities would be disastrous. (布兰德说，从生态的角度来看，将人们迁出城市将是灾难性的。)”可知，Stewart Brand是城市化的另一位支持者或倡导者。因此，champion在此处指的是“倡导或支持某事的人”。A. advocates something提倡某事；B. challenges something挑战某事；C. achieves something实现某事；D. protects something保护某事。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“From an ecological perspective, says Brand, moving people out of cities would be disastrous. Because cities are dense, they allow half of the world’s population to live on about four percent of the land, leaving more space for open country, such as farmland. People living in cities also have less impact per capita (人均) on the environment. Their roads, sewers (下水道) , and power lines are shorter and require fewer resources to build and operate. City apartments require less energy to heat, cool, and light than larger houses in suburbs and rural areas. Most importantly, people living in dense cities drive less. They can walk to many destinations, and public transportation is practical because enough people travel regularly to the same places. As a result, dense cities tend to produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions per person than scattered, sprawling suburbs. (布兰德说，从生态的角度来看，将人们迁出城市将是灾难性的。由于城市人口密集，世界上一半的人口可以居住在大约4%的土地上，从而为农田等开阔的乡村留出了更多的空间。城市居民对环境的人均影响也较小。他们的道路、下水道和电线更短，需要更少的资源来建造和运营。与郊区和农村地区的大房子相比，城市公寓在供暖、制冷和照明方面需要的能源更少。最重要的是，居住在人口密集城市的人开车少了。他们可以步行到许多目的地，公共交通工具是实用的，因为足够多的人经常去同一个地方。因此，人口密集的城市产生的人均温室气体排放量往往低于分散的郊区。)”可知，他认为将人们迁出城市将是灾难性的。城市密度使得人们占用的土地更少，对环境的人均影响更低，城市居民开车更少，使用公共交通更为实际，且城市公寓比郊区或农村的大型住宅更节能。这些都表明城市生活比乡村生活更经济高效。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“From an ecological perspective, says Brand, moving people out of cities would be disastrous.

Now we generally write on a computer with the help of keyboard. In this digital age, artificial intelligence has become a new type of “pen” which we use to analyze, write and present everything from an article, a thesis, a research paper to a company report, and things alike. Since writing is an essential part of academic life, and since students struggle to produce quality papers, AI powered writing is gaining popularity on campuses. AI is so powerful that it can help with idea development, research design, content development, literature review, data management, as well as help with editing and reviewing of books. AI-powered writing can improve the grammar, structure, and help with citation s and consistency to disciplinary standards. Therefore, AI tools can help students, teachers and researchers to overcome the challenges of academic writing, boost research productivity and improve efficiency. However, AI may seem human, but it is not. It may appear accurate, yet it isn’t. It may look intelligent, yet it is not. It may also seem to understand, but it can’t. An analysis done with the help of AI tools with seemingly high efficiency can be neither valid (有效的) nor reliable. Although AI can help write a seemingly nicely structured, grammatically correct and even precisely referenced paper, its research results can’t be accepted as authentic (真实的), because they cannot fully meet the real purpose of research or education as a whole. That is why many universities have been keeping students from using AI tools for academic writing, and have conducted rules limiting, if not altogether banning the use of Generative AI in academic writing. According to a survey of the world’s 100 top universities by Scriber on their attitude to AI writing tools, 18 percent have banned the use of ChatGPT, although individual instructors could allow its use, 27 percent have no clear guidance or policy, and 51 percent have left the decision on individual instructors. Only 4 percent of the universities allow the use of AI (with citation) unless instructors forbid it. 12. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about? A. The importance of academic writing. B. The potential users of AI-powered writing. C. The challenges faced by researchers and scholars. D. The popularity of AI-powered writing on campuses. 13. What may be the author’s attitude towards a research report written by AI? A. Negative. B. Dismissive. C. Positive. D. Unclear. 14. Who have the right to decide the use of Al in academic writing in most universities? A. Fund sponsors. B. Individual instructors. C. Would-be graduates. D. Producers of AI tools. 15. Which idiom can best describe AI-powered writing? A. A wet blanket. B. A pie in the sky. C. A double-edged sword. D. A big fish in a small pond. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。短文主要介绍了AI赋能学术写作在大学里的现状。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Since writing is an essential part of academic life, and since students struggle to produce quality papers, AI powered writing is gaining popularity on campuses.”（ 由于写作是学术生活的重要组成部分，而且学生们很难写出高质量的论文，因此人工智能写作在校园里越来越受欢迎。）以及“Therefore, AI tools can help students, teachers and researchers to overcome the challenges of academic writing, boost research productivity and improve efficiency.”（ 因此，人工智能工具可以帮助学生、教师和研究人员克服学术写作的挑战，提高研究生产力，提高效率。）可知，第二段主要讲述了AI写作在校园中的流行。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段内容，尤其是“Although AI can help write a seemingly nicely structured, grammatically correct and even precisely referenced paper, its research results can’t be accepted as authentic (真实的), because they cannot fully meet the real purpose of research or education as a whole.”（虽然人工智能可以帮助写出一篇看起来结构良好，语法正确，甚至引用准确的论文，但它的研究结果并不能被认为是真实的，因为它们不能完全满足研究或教育的真正目的。）可知，作者对AI写作的研究报告持否定态度。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“According to a survey of the world’s 100 top universities by Scriber on their attitude to AI writing tools, 18 percent have banned the use of ChatGPT, although individual instructors could allow its use, 27 percent have no clear guidance or policy, and 51 percent have left the decision on individual instructors.”（根据Scriber对全球100所顶尖大学对人工智能写作工具态度的调查，18%的大学禁止使用ChatGPT，尽管个别教师可以允许使用，27%的大学没有明确的指导或政策，51%的大学将决定权留给了个别教师。）可知，大多数大学由个别导师决定是否使用AI进行学术写作。故选B。 15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Since writing is an essential part of academic life, and since students struggle to produce quality papers, AI powered writing is gaining popularity on campuses. AI is so powerful that it can help with idea development, research design, content development, literature review, data management, as well as help with editing and reviewing of books. AI-powered writing can improve the grammar, structure, and help with citation s and consistency to disciplinary standards.”（由于写作是学术生活的重要组成部分，而且学生们很难写出高质量的论文，因此人工智能写作在校园里越来越受欢迎。人工智能是如此强大，它可以帮助思想发展，研究设计，内容开发，文献综述，数据管理，以及帮助编辑和评论书籍。人工智能写作可以改善语法、结构，并有助于引用和保持学科标准的一致性。）和第三段“However, AI may seem human, but it is not. It may appear accurate, yet it isn’t. It may look intelligent, yet it is not. It may also seem to understand, but it can’t. An analysis done with the help of AI tools with seemingly high efficiency can be neither valid (有效的) nor reliable.”（然而，人工智能可能看起来像人类，但它不是。它可能看起来很准确，但事实并非如此。它可能看起来很聪明，但其实不然。它似乎也能理解，但它不能。借助看似高效的人工智能工具完成的分析既不有效也不可靠。）可知，AI写作既有优点也有缺点，最能描述这种情况的成语是“双刃剑”。故选C。 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。 How to Fall Back in Love with Reading Do you remember the last time you spent time reading books for pleasure?

Anxious, Devin sat in the back seat of the car. “I have so much energy!” he said. “Do I really have to sit and watch?” “It’s just for one more game.” Devin’s father said as he drove into the parking lot by the outdoor basketball court. “It’s better to stay on the safe side.” Devin sighed. “It’s been a week since I got injured,” he said. “It doesn’t hurt at all.” But it did hurt when he was in last week’s game. He twisted to avoid a defender and ended up spraining his ankle. “The doctor said 10 days,” his father reminded him. “No jumping. You can ease back into basketball next week.” Devin ran his fingers over the logo on his basketball uniform. He was ready for the game, but he knew he’d be spending it on the bench. The summer season was short — just eight games —and he’d already missed one. “I just want to help my team win,” he said as he got out of the car. “I can’t do that if I’m not on the court.” Devin loved hearing the thump (沉闷的撞击声), thump, thump of basketballs and the feeling of excitement before every game. Hip-hop music from the loudspeaker made him feel like dancing. The energy in the air would make it even harder for him not to participate. Before the game Coach reminded the players to make smart passes and play tough defense. Without Devin’s leadership and skill, his team would need a huge effort. By halftime, Coach praised the players for their hard work. With Devin unable to play, the team had only one extra player, so no one was getting much rest. The game was fierce. The score stood at 47 to 49 with three minutes left in the game. Devin sat down and rubbed his hands together. “I’m a loser here on the bench. I can do nothing to help.” he thought. Coach called a timeout(比赛暂停) and gathered the players to give some advice. 注意： 1. 续写词数为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答.

He didn’t expect to be asked for advice. “Without you, we couldn’t have any chance to win!” Coach said. With all his teammates looking at him hopefully, he suddenly realized he could do something even on the bench. As an experienced player, he knew much about the opponents. Therefore, he offered some practical suggestions from his angle. Supported by Coach and Devin, the team pushed themselves to their limit and fueled by the desire to win. The game was over and his team had a two-point victory! The team hugged each other to celebrate the hard-won victory excitedly. Devin congratulated his teammates. “Great game! Wish I could have been part of it.” Punching Devin lightly in the shoulder, one teammate comforted him, saying, “You have always been a huge part of it.” Devin realized that being part of the team did not necessarily mean being part on the court. Even if on the bench, he could also play his part and help the team win by making full use of his experience. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了德文因为受伤无法上场比赛，只能在替补席上坐着。球队只有一名额外的球员，所以没有人得到太多的休息。虽然德文只能在场外，但是他提出的建议最终帮球队取得了胜利。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然，教练转向德文。‘你还有什么要补充的吗？’”可知，第一段可描写德文提出自己的建议，在教练和德文的支持下，球队把自己推向了极限，并被胜利的欲望所激励。 ②由第二段首句内容“比赛结束了，他的球队赢了两分！”可知，第二段可描写球队获胜以及德文的感悟。 2.续写线索：询问建议——德文给出建议——球队被激励——取得胜利——相互祝贺——德文感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拥抱：hug/embrace ②提供：offer/provide ③激励：fuel/stimulate 情绪类 ①困惑：confused /puzzled ②激动：excitedly/with thrill 【点睛】[高分句型1] Supported by Coach and Devin, the team pushed themselves to their limit and fueled by the desire to win.
