A few weeks earlier, her 33- year- old son had lost his battle with a long illness. Then the transmission (变速器) on her2007 car broke down. She had no means of paying for it to be fixed. “When it broke down, I broke down,” Lee told CNN. “Now I don’t have my baby, now I don’t have transportation. How am I supposed to stay active in my grandchildren’s lives?” Eliot Middleton, 38, the owner of a barbecue restaurant and former auto mechanic who, in his free time, repairs and gives away used cars. He’d heard about Lee’s difficulty from her nephew Frank McClary. On Christmas morning, Middleton showed up at Lee’s home with a gift: a white1993 Oldsmobile. “He handed me the keys and didn’t ask for anything.” said Lee. Once again, she’s able to pick up her granddaughters from school and take them to dance class. The idea for the used- car giveaway came to Middleton a year earlier during a food drive he’d organized. Many of those who’d lined up for a meal walked up to four miles because they didn’t have cars. Cars are a lifeline in this part of South Carolina, Middleton told CBS. “There’s no public transportation, no Ubers, no taxis to take people to job interviews, doctor appointments, even food shopping. So he posted on Facebook an offer to trade his restaurant’s specialty, barbecued ribs (烤排骨), for broken- down vehicles. Since then, friends and strangers have dropped off more than100 cars in various states of disrepair. “People think Eliot is an angel,” Mayor McClary told the Washington Post. “And I do too.” 4. What happened to Lee around Christmas 2020? A. Her car was lost. B. The Christmas upset her. C. Her son was seriously ill. D. She suffered misfortunes. 5. In what way did Middleton help Lee? A. He gave away a car to Lee. B. He sold a second- hand car to Lee. C He invited Lee to eat in his restaurant. D. He picked up Lee’s grandchildren from school. 6. How did Middleton get so many second- hand cars? A. By posting an offer for car donation. B. By exchanging his food with car owners. C. By cooking best- selling food in his restaurant. D. By buying abandoned cars and repairing them. 7. What can be the best title for this story? A. Kindness on Auto B. Trade Cars for Food C. Heartbreaker or Angel D. Freedom Guaranteed by Cars 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。本文主要报道的是烧烤店老板米德尔顿用他餐馆的特色菜烧烤排骨换来二手车，然后赠送给那些需要的人。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“CHRISTMAS 2020 was shaping up to be a heartbreaker for Melanie Lee. A few weeks earlier, her 33- year- old son had lost his battle with a long illness. Then the transmission(变速器)on her2007 car broke down. She had no means of paying for it to be fixed.(对梅兰妮·李来说，2020年圣诞节将是一个令人心碎的日子。几个星期前，她33岁的儿子在与长期疾病的斗争中失败了。然后，她2007年的那辆车的变速箱坏了。她没有钱请人修。)”可知，2020年圣诞节前后，李经历了失去儿子和汽车出故障等多种不幸。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句“On Christmas morning, Middleton showed up at Lee’s home with a gift: a white1993 Oldsmobile.(圣诞节的早晨，米德尔顿带着一份礼物出现在李的家中:一辆1993年的白色奥兹莫比尔。)”和第四段的句子““He handed me the keys and didn’t ask for anything.” said Lee. Once again, she’s able to pick up her granddaughters from school and take them to dance class.(“他把钥匙递给我，没有要求任何东西。”李说。再一次，她能够从学校接她的孙女，带她们去上舞蹈课。)”可知，米德尔顿赠送了一辆汽车给李。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段的句子“So he posted on Facebook an offer to trade his restaurant’s specialty, barbecued ribs, for broken-down vehicles. Since then, friends and strangers have dropped off more than100 cars in various states of disrepair.(因此，他在Facebook上发布了一条信息，提议用他餐馆的特色菜烧烤排骨来换坏掉的汽车。从那以后，朋友和陌生人送走了100多辆年久失修的汽车。)”可知，米德尔顿是用他餐馆的特色菜烧烤排骨换来的那么多二手车。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。本文主要报道的是烧烤店老板米德尔顿用他餐馆的特色菜烧烤排骨换来二手车，然后赠送给那些需要的人。所以用A项“Kindness on Auto(汽车上的善举)”作为本文的题目，与文章主题相符合。故选A项。 C You have probably heard of Henry David Thoreau and his book Walden, even though his message of simplicity may sound outdated. Nowadays, smartphones flood us with text messages. Many consumers are buying the latest digital devices, from tablets and fitness trackers to commercial drones. Simple living seems to be a thing of the past. Thoreau would beg to differ. As a writer who advocated the value of simplicity almost two centuries ago, he was a contrarian for his time. He lived during the height of the Industrial Age, distinguished by the rise of large factories, expanding urban developments, and powerful machines. Turned off by the constant busyness of this time, Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods. He brought with him only the necessities of life and wrote about this adventure in his book Walden. In the book, Thoreau is basically making a philosophical statement. We are not living meaningful lives due to modern technology. We created powerful machines to make life more convenient. Unfortunately, these machines have done the opposite. In his words, “Men have become the tools of their tools.” That is to say, we are not the ones controlling technology. Technology is controlling us. Every few minutes, smartphones may distract us with messages. At least half of Americans check their phones several times an hour. Meanwhile, information overload from social media can weaken our concentration and heighten confusion. When technology causes that much distraction and confusion, it may be healthy to simplify life by reducing technology overuse. Personally, I’ve done so in two ways. First, I use very little data on my phone and keep the apps on it to a minimum. Most time, I only use my phone to call or text. Second, I quit most social media. Sure, those two things aren’t as extreme as Thoreau withdrawing into the woods. Nevertheless, they’re realistic moves I can make toward living a more meaningful life. 8. What does “contrarian” in paragraph 2 mean? A. A defender of a right. B. A supporter of an idea. C. An objector to a value. D. An advocate of a principle. 9. Why did Thoreau escape to the woods? A. He was abandoned by society. B. He tried to prove his independence. C. He enjoyed adventures in the forest. D. He was fed up with busy industrial life. 10. Why are smartphones and social media mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To discuss the effect of modernization. B. To illustrate men’s heavy reliance on tools. C. To highlight the extensive use of technology. D. To show the convenience of technological tools. 11. Which of the following might the author agree with? A. Quitting social media. B. Withdrawing into the woods. C. Using technology wisely. D. Living an extremely simple life. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文的体裁为议论文。本文通过引用Thoreau的观点和自己的生活体验，讨论了现代科技对人类生活的影响，并表达了对简化生活的看法。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第二段中的“As a writer who advocated the value of simplicity almost two centuries ago (作为一位近两个世纪前就倡导简约价值的作家)”和“He lived during the height of the Industrial Age, distinguished by the rise of large factories, expanding urban developments, and powerful machines. (他生活在工业时代的鼎盛时期，以大型工厂的兴起、不断扩大的城市发展和强大的机器为特征。)”可知，Henry David Thoreau是主张简单生活价值的作家，这在当时是一种与众不同的观点，因此他被称为contrarian，即“反对某种价值观的人”。A. A defender of a right权利的捍卫者；B. A supporter of an idea一个想法的支持者；C. An objector to a value反对某一价值观的人；D. An advocate of a principle原则的拥护者。故选C。 9题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中的“Turned off by the constant busyness of this time, Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods. (Thoreau厌倦了这段时间不断的忙碌，他退出了城市生活，独自一人住在树林里。)”可知，Thoreau厌倦了当时的繁忙城市生活，因此他逃到了树林里。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段“That is to say, we are not the ones controlling technology. Technology is controlling us. Every few minutes, smartphones may distract us with messages. At least half of Americans check their phones several times an hour. Meanwhile, information overload from social media can weaken our concentration and heighten confusion. (也就是说，我们并不是控制技术的人，而是技术在控制我们。每隔几分钟，智能手机就会用信息分散我们的注意力。至少有一半的美国人每小时查看手机好几次。同时，社交媒体的信息过载也会削弱我们的注意力并增加困惑。)”可知，第4段提到智能手机和社交媒体为的是说明人们对工具的严重依赖。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“When technology causes that much distraction and confusion, it may be healthy to simplify life by reducing technology overuse. Personally, I’ve done so in two ways. First, I use very little data on my phone and keep the apps on it to a minimum. Most time, I only use my phone to call or text. Second, I quit most social media. Sure, those two things aren’t as extreme as Thoreau withdrawing into the woods. Nevertheless, they’re realistic moves I can make toward living a more meaningful life. (当科技造成如此多的分心和混乱时，通过减少过度使用科技来简化生活可能是健康的。就我个人而言，我以两种方式做到这一点。首先，我在手机上使用很少的数据，并尽量减少手机上的应用程序。大多数时候，我只用手机打电话或发短信。其次，我退出了大多数社交媒体。当然，这两件事并不像Thoreau躲进树林那样极端。然而，这些都是我可以朝着更有意义的生活迈出的现实的一步。)”可知，作者采取了两种方式来简化生活：一是减少手机上的数据使用和应用程序，二是退出大多数社交媒体。可以推断出作者同意的是“明智地使用科技”，而不是完全放弃科技或极端地过简单生活。故选C。 D It’s the start of a new era of AI at Google, says CEO Sundar Pichai: the Gemini era. Gemini is Google’s latest large language model, which Pichai first mentioned at the I/O developer conference in June and is now releasing to the public. This significant advance in AI will ultimately impact almost all of Google’s products. Gemini is more than a single AI model. There’s a lighter version called Gemini Nano meant for offline Android devices, a more powerful version called Gemini Pro that will power many Google AI services, and an even more capable model called Gemini Ultra — the most powerful LLM (大语言模型) Google has yet created. It seems to be mostly designed for data centers and enterprise applications. OpenAI launched ChatGPT in 2022. Now Google is ready to fight back. “We’ve done a very thorough analysis of the systems side by side,” says CEO Sundar Pichai. Google ran 32 well- established criteria comparing the two models, from overall tests to the Python code generation. “I think we’re substantially (大量地) ahead on 30 out of 32 of those criteria.” he adds. Gemini’s clearest advantage comes from its ability to understand and interact with video and audio. This was by design: multi- modality has been part of the plan from the beginning. Google built one multi- sensory model from the beginning, unlike OpenAI’s separate models for images and voice. Right now, Gemini’s most basic models are text- based , but more advanced models like Gemini Ultra can work with images, video, and audio. “Over time,” Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis says, “Gemini will gain more senses, become more aware, accurate, and grounded. These models just sort of understand better about the world around them.” These models still have other problems, but Hassabis says they will improve as they learn more. 12. What is Gemini according to the text? A. A new language model in development. B. A light AI model designed for offline use. C. A new language model developed by Google. D. A light AI model created for specific enterprise applications. 13. What does Gemini Nano specialize in? A. Generating Python code. B. Running on offline Android devices. C. Powering Google AI services. D. Training separate models for images and voice. 14. What is a key advantage of Gemini over OpenAI’s ChatGPT? A. The ability to write Pyth on code. B. The ability to work with video and audio. C. The understanding and interaction with textual data. D. The ability to create separate models for images and voice. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Google will bring the most advanced models. B. Gemini models outperform OpenAI’s ChatGPT. C. Google will still work on the perfection of Gemini models. D. Gemini models are launched without even a slight imperfection. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了谷歌最新的大型语言模型Gemini，这是谷歌人工智能新时代的开始。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Gemini is Google’s latest large language model”（Gemini是谷歌最新的大型语言模型）可知，Gemini 是由 Google 开发的新语言模型，故答案是 C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“There’s a lighter version called Gemini Nano meant for offline Android devices,”（有一款名为Gemini Nano的轻量级版本，适用于离线安卓设备）可知，Gemini Nano 专门用于离线安卓设备，故答案是 B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Gemini’s clearest advantage comes from its ability to understand and interact with video and audio”（Gemini最明显的优势来自于他们理解视频和音频的能力。） 表明，Gemini 相比于 ChatGPT 的明显优势在于能够理解和交互视频及音频，故答案是 B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。最后一段提到“but Hassabis says they will improve as they learn more”（但哈萨比斯表示，随着他们学到更多，他们会进步的）可知，Google 还将继续完善 Gemini 模型，故答案是 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。 Why dogs chase their tails? There are some answers to this question, which might surprise you. While tail chasing can be a harmless behavior, sometimes it can indicate a potential issue requiring a vet visit. Below are some common meanings behind your dog chasing its tail. ____16____ It might look like a strange activity to humans, but tail- chasing is a simple way for dogs to let loose and have a little fun. ____17____ Just keep in mind that a constantly bored or stressed dog might be feeling left out, so make sure its basic needs are being met, including exercise and socialization. Your dog is feeling stressed. On the other hand, uncontrollable tail- chasing behavior could be a warning sign that your dog is anxious or stressed. ____18____ By the way, this fruitless and frustrating behavior is what led to the saying “like a dog chasing its tail”. Your dog wants your attention. Tail- chasing is actually a go- to behavior for young dogs who are playing and learning about their bodies. And it’s hard not to smile when you see this happening, especially in puppies, because it’s funny and adorable. But this type of response can cause your pup to keep doing it. Try not to encourage this behavior. ____19____ Your dog may have intestinal parasites (肠道寄生虫). This is another common reason why dogs chase their tails. It’s also a reason why dogs chew their tails, too. Infections are generally common in young dogs and can even be deadly in some puppies if left untreated. ____20____ If your dog is chasing their tail a lot, it’s best to rule out any medical issues first, so always get in touch with your vet who will be able to examine them and find the root of the problem. A. Your dog wants exercise. B. Your dog is expressing its emotion. C. Your pup will form the habit of tail chasing. D. Instead, provide a distraction by giving your dog a new toy or going on a walk. E. Find out what’s at the root of your dog’s anxiety and then address that problem. F. Common types of parasites include tapeworms, roundworms, hookworms and so on. G. If a dog doesn’t have anything or anyone to play with, it might need to entertain itself. 【答案】16. B 17. G 18. E 19. D 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了狗追尾巴的几种原因和相应的建议。 【16题详解】 空格处是该部分的主题句，根据下文的句子“It might look like a strange activity to humans, but tail- chasing is a simple way for dogs to let loose and have a little fun.(这对人类来说可能是一种奇怪的活动，但对狗来说，追尾巴是一种简单的放松和娱乐的方式。)”和“Just keep in mind that a constantly bored or stressed dog might be feeling left out, so make sure its basic needs are being met, including exercise and socialization.(只要记住，一只经常感到无聊或压力大的狗可能会感到被冷落，所以要确保它的基本需求得到满足，包括锻炼和社交。)”可知，追尾巴是狗表达情感的一种方式。所以，B项“Your dog is expressing its emotion.(你的狗在表达它的情感。)”填入空格处，可以作为该部分的主题句，符合语境。故选B项。 【17题详解】 根据空格前的句子“It might look like a strange activity to humans, but tail- chasing is a simple way for dogs to let loose and have a little fun.(这对人类来说可能是一种奇怪的活动，但对狗来说，追尾巴是一种简单的放松和娱乐的方式。)”可知， 追尾巴是狗的一种娱乐方式，为什么它们会采取这种娱乐方式呢？G项“If a dog doesn’t have anything or anyone to play with, it might need to entertain itself.(如果一只狗没有任何东西或任何人可以玩，它可能需要娱乐自己。)”解释了这其中的原因：狗没有任何东西或任何人可以玩。所以G项填入空格处符合语境。故选G项。 【18题详解】 根据空格前的句子“On the other hand, uncontrollable tail- chasing behavior could be a warning sign that your dog is anxious or stressed.(另一方面，无法控制的追尾行为可能是你的狗焦虑或有压力的警告信号。)”可知，追尾巴表明你的狗可能焦虑或有压力，这种情况下应该怎样做呢？E项“Find out what’s at the root of your dog’s anxiety and then address that problem.(找出你的狗焦虑的根源，然后解决这个问题。)”给出了建议。所以，E项填入空格处，符合语境，上文的anxious和E项中的anxiety是关键词。故选E项。 【19题详解】 根据空格前的句子“And it’s hard not to smile when you see this happening, especially in puppies, because it’s funny and adorable. But this type of response can cause your pup to keep doing it. Try not to encourage this behavior.(当你看到这种情况发生时，很难不微笑，尤其是在小狗身上，因为这很有趣，也很可爱。 但是这种类型的反应会导致你的狗狗继续这样做。 尽量不要鼓励这种行为。)”可知，作者建议不要用微笑这样的行为鼓励狗的追尾巴行为，那么见到狗追尾巴应该怎样做呢？D项“Instead, provide a distraction by giving your dog a new toy or going on a walk.(相反，给你的狗一个新玩具或散散步来分散注意力。)”给出了建议，所以，D项填入空格处，符合语境。故选D项。 【20题详解】 根据该部分的主题句“Your dog may have intestinal parasites(你的狗可能有肠道寄生虫)”和空格前的句子“This is another common reason why dogs chase their tails. It’s also a reason why dogs chew their tails, too. Infections are generally common in young dogs and can even be deadly in some puppies if left untreated.(这是狗追逐尾巴的另一个常见原因。这也是狗咬尾巴的原因之一。感染在幼犬中很常见，如果不及时治疗，一些幼犬甚至可能致命。)”可知，空格处的句子应该涉及到狗可能会感染的寄生虫，所以，F项“Common types of parasites include tapeworms, roundworms, hookworms and so on.(常见的寄生虫有绦虫、蛔虫、钩虫等。)”填入空格处，符合语境。故选F项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题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。 When it comes to helping overcome a mental health condition, an extreme sport like BMX (Bicycle Motocross) may not be the first choice.

As children of the lab scientists, Mary and Tom often observed the emperor penguins that were studied to understand how they adapted to extreme temperatures —insights that could aid human survival. “We’re thirteen, Tom. It’s time to grow up and stop playing with the lab penguins,” said Mary as she started cleaning. “They’re research animals, not pets.” “But the birds listen to me.” insisted Tom, his breath forming a cloud in the freezing air. “You’re just trying to be a penguin whisperer again,” Mary replied, shaking her head with a gentle smile. The penguins seemed playful as they walked, dove, swam and chased their live fish for sport before eating. Suddenly , an alarm rang out and red lights flashed , signaling a problem. The kids rushed over to look into it. “It’s colder than before —there’s ice forming on the water,” noted Tom. Though always cold, Mary had never seen ice here before. She checked the habitat monitor and found that the temperature had gone down a lot. “The heater must be broken!” Mary quickly sent a message to their parents’ research team, who were conducting outdoor studies. With the adults away, the kids would have to deal with the freezing conditions until help arrived. Time dragged as Mary and Tom anxiously waited. The increasing cold caused them to shake. “I wonder what emperor penguins do in extreme cold, since they stay in the Pole all winter instead of going somewhere warmer,” asked Mary. “They huddle (挤作一团), ” Tom answered. “They huddle together tightly so that the birds in the middle will be warm enough.” “What about the ones on the edge?” Mary asked. “They push their way towards the center, and then move back out to the edge, and struggle back again. Scientists in the early 21st century recorded it.” He replied as he stared at the large crowd of the penguins in the lab. 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。 ”I have an idea to stay warm1" Tom shouted excitedly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two and a half hours later , the parents returned with help. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“I have an idea to stay warm!” Tom shouted excitedly. Spreading his arms, he suggested joining the penguin huddles. Worried that the penguins wouldn’t let them, Mary hesitated but was soon persuaded by Tom’s assuring grin. He slowly approached the crowded penguins, crouching down. Gently stroking them with care, he whispered softly. Though startled at first, the penguins recognized Tom and let him into their group. Mary quickly followed. The children squeezed into the huddle’s edge with the penguins. Just as the birds did, they moved toward the middle and back out as the group shifted. Two and a half hours later, the parents returned with help. Rushing in calling for the kids, they were surprised. The children were safely surrounded by Emperors in a large bundle. When asked how they stayed warm, the kids looked at each other proudly. “We used what the Emperor Penguins do,” they told their parents. Mary patted Tom’s shoulder with admiration, calling him a penguin whisperer. With a big smile, Tom gave credit to the penguins who taught them a lot. Their teamwork had seen them through the difficult cold with the penguins’ aid. 【解析】 【导语】本文以动物为线索展开，讲述了一个关于爱护动物以及通过学习帝企鹅的保暖方式度过严寒的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我有一个保暖的主意!”Tom兴奋地喊道。”以及第二段首句内容“两个半小时后，父母带着救援人员回来了。”可知，第一段可描写Tom想到可以向帝企鹅学习度过严寒。 ②由第二段首句内容“两个半小时后，父母带着救援人员回来了。”可知，第二段可描写父母惊讶地发现孩子们和帝企鹅团在一起从而保持温暖活了下来。 2.续写线索：Tom和Mary一起在南极企鹅研究实验室观察帝企鹅——他们从小就研究帝企鹅，非常熟悉这些动物——突然Mary发现实验室的加热器坏了——Mary向父母求救，但是父母在户外进行研究——实验室越来越冷，孩子们开始想办法保暖——Tom突然想起帝企鹅在严寒中是如何保暖的——于是，两个孩子加入了实验室的企鹅群，和企鹅们团在了一起——父母回来后，惊讶地发现帝企鹅正围着孩子们，孩子也安然无恙 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①建议：suggest/advise ②靠近：approach/come close to ③称赞：give credit to/praise 情绪类 ①担忧的：worried/concerned/anxious ②惊讶的：surprised/amazed/astonished 【点睛】【高分句型1】When asked how they stayed warm, the kids looked at each other proudly.（运用了how引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】With a big smile, Tom gave credit to the penguins who taught them a lot.（运用了who引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 运城市2024-2025学年高三摸底调研测试 英语试题 2024.9 本试题满分150分，考试时间120分钟。答案一律写在答题卡上。 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上，认真核对条形码上的姓名、准考证号，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡的指定位置上。 2. 答题时使用0.5毫米的黑色中性(签字)笔或碳素笔书写，字体工整、笔迹清楚。 3. 请按照题号在各题的答题区域(黑色线框)内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效。 4. 保持卡面清洁，不折叠，不破损。 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1.5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。 例: How much is the shirt?

A few weeks earlier, her 33- year- old son had lost his battle with a long illness. Then the transmission (变速器) on her2007 car broke down. She had no means of paying for it to be fixed. “When it broke down, I broke down,” Lee told CNN. “Now I don’t have my baby, now I don’t have transportation. How am I supposed to stay active in my grandchildren’s lives?” Eliot Middleton, 38, the owner of a barbecue restaurant and former auto mechanic who, in his free time, repairs and gives away used cars. He’d heard about Lee’s difficulty from her nephew Frank McClary. On Christmas morning, Middleton showed up at Lee’s home with a gift: a white1993 Oldsmobile. “He handed me the keys and didn’t ask for anything.” said Lee. Once again, she’s able to pick up her granddaughters from school and take them to dance class. The idea for the used- car giveaway came to Middleton a year earlier during a food drive he’d organized. Many of those who’d lined up for a meal walked up to four miles because they didn’t have cars. Cars are a lifeline in this part of South Carolina, Middleton told CBS. “There’s no public transportation, no Ubers, no taxis to take people to job interviews, doctor appointments, even food shopping. So he posted on Facebook an offer to trade his restaurant’s specialty, barbecued ribs (烤排骨), for broken- down vehicles. Since then, friends and strangers have dropped off more than100 cars in various states of disrepair. “People think Eliot is an angel,” Mayor McClary told the Washington Post. “And I do too.” 4. What happened to Lee around Christmas 2020? A. Her car was lost. B. The Christmas upset her. C. Her son was seriously ill. D. She suffered misfortunes. 5. In what way did Middleton help Lee? A. He gave away a car to Lee. B. He sold a second- hand car to Lee. C. He invited Lee to eat in his restaurant. D. He picked up Lee’s grandchildren from school. 6. How did Middleton get so many second- hand cars? A. By posting an offer for car donation. B. By exchanging his food with car owners. C. By cooking best- selling food in his restaurant. D. By buying abandoned cars and repairing them. 7. What can be the best title for this story? A. Kindness on Auto B. Trade Cars for Food C. Heartbreaker or Angel D. Freedom Guaranteed by Cars C You have probably heard of Henry David Thoreau and his book Walden, even though his message of simplicity may sound outdated. Nowadays, smartphones flood us with text messages. Many consumers are buying the latest digital devices, from tablets and fitness trackers to commercial drones. Simple living seems to be a thing of the past. Thoreau would beg to differ. As a writer who advocated the value of simplicity almost two centuries ago, he was a contrarian for his time. He lived during the height of the Industrial Age, distinguished by the rise of large factories, expanding urban developments, and powerful machines. Turned off by the constant busyness of this time, Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods. He brought with him only the necessities of life and wrote about this adventure in his book Walden. In the book, Thoreau is basically making a philosophical statement. We are not living meaningful lives due to modern technology. We created powerful machines to make life more convenient. Unfortunately, these machines have done the opposite. In his words, “Men have become the tools of their tools.” That is to say, we are not the ones controlling technology. Technology is controlling us. Every few minutes, smartphones may distract us with messages. At least half of Americans check their phones several times an hour. Meanwhile, information overload from social media can weaken our concentration and heighten confusion. When technology causes that much distraction and confusion, it may be healthy to simplify life by reducing technology overuse. Personally, I’ve done so in two ways. First, I use very little data on my phone and keep the apps on it to a minimum. Most time, I only use my phone to call or text. Second, I quit most social media. Sure, those two things aren’t as extreme as Thoreau withdrawing into the woods. Nevertheless, they’re realistic moves I can make toward living a more meaningful life. 8. What does “contrarian” in paragraph 2 mean? A. A defender of a right. B. A supporter of an idea. C. An objector to a value. D. An advocate of a principle. 9. Why did Thoreau escape to the woods? A. He was abandoned by society. B. He tried to prove his independence. C. He enjoyed adventures in the forest. D. He was fed up with busy industrial life. 10. Why are smartphones and social media mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To discuss the effect of modernization. B. To illustrate men’s heavy reliance on tools. C. To highlight the extensive use of technology. D. To show the convenience of technological tools. 11. Which of the following might the author agree with? A. Quitting social media. B. Withdrawing into the woods. C. Using technology wisely. D. Living an extremely simple life. D It’s the start of a new era of AI at Google, says CEO Sundar Pichai: the Gemini era. Gemini is Google’s latest large language model, which Pichai first mentioned at the I/O developer conference in June and is now releasing to the public. This significant advance in AI will ultimately impact almost all of Google’s products. Gemini is more than a single AI model. There’s a lighter version called Gemini Nano meant for offline Android devices, a more powerful version called Gemini Pro that will power many Google AI services, and an even more capable model called Gemini Ultra — the most powerful LLM (大语言模型) Google has yet created. It seems to be mostly designed for data centers and enterprise applications. OpenAI launched ChatGPT in 2022. Now Google is ready to fight back. “We’ve done a very thorough analysis of the systems side by side,” says CEO Sundar Pichai. Google ran 32 well- established criteria comparing the two models, from overall tests to the Python code generation. “I think we’re substantially (大量地) ahead on 30 out of 32 of those criteria.” he adds. Gemini’s clearest advantage comes from its ability to understand and interact with video and audio. This was by design: multi- modality has been part of the plan from the beginning.

As children of the lab scientists, Mary and Tom often observed the emperor penguins that were studied to understand how they adapted to extreme temperatures —insights that could aid human survival. “We’re thirteen, Tom. It’s time to grow up and stop playing with the lab penguins,” said Mary as she started cleaning. “They’re research animals, not pets.” “But the birds listen to me.” insisted Tom, his breath forming a cloud in the freezing air. “You’re just trying to be a penguin whisperer again,” Mary replied, shaking her head with a gentle smile. The penguins seemed playful as they walked, dove, swam and chased their live fish for sport before eating. Suddenly , an alarm rang out and red lights flashed , signaling a problem. The kids rushed over to look into it. “It’s colder than before —there’s ice forming on the water,” noted Tom. Though always cold, Mary had never seen ice here before. She checked the habitat monitor and found that the temperature had gone down a lot. “The heater must be broken!” Mary quickly sent a message to their parents’ research team, who were conducting outdoor studies. With the adults away, the kids would have to deal with the freezing conditions until help arrived. Time dragged as Mary and Tom anxiously waited. The increasing cold caused them to shake. “I wonder what emperor penguins do in extreme cold, since they stay in the Pole all winter instead of going somewhere warmer,” asked Mary. “They huddle (挤作一团), ” Tom answered. “They huddle together tightly so that the birds in the middle will be warm enough.” “What about the ones on the edge?” Mary asked. “They push their way towards the center, and then move back out to the edge, and struggle back again. Scientists in the early 21st century recorded it.” He replied as he stared at the large crowd of the penguins in the lab. 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。 ”I have an idea to stay warm1" Tom shouted excitedly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two and a half hours later the parents returned with help. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
