He is following the path our human ancestors took out of Africa about 200,000 years ago. Salopek has named his journey the Out of Eden Walk. As he walks through different countries, landscapes, and cultures, Salopek is documenting what he sees and hears. And he isn't walking alone. During each part of his walk, Paul is joined by a local guide. Along the way, he meets people from small villages, cities, and country farms. Sometimes, they give him a place to stay for a night or two. Often, his hosts share a little bit about their lives with him. The Out of Eden Walk is well-named. Besides a few rides on boats or ships, Salopek is walking the entire way. No cars. He doesn’t even ride bikes, though he does use pack animals. An important part of Salopek’s mission is to tell the stories of ordinary people. Walking gives him more time to look around and to talk to the people he encounters. He has spoken to thousands of people since his walk began. As he puts it, “I am in a seven, eight, nine-year-long conversation with total strangers.” Following a story is not new for Paul Salopek. He is a journalist. He has written for The Atlantic, the Chicago Tribune, National Geographic, and other publications. His works have earned many awards, including two Pulitzer Prizes. As a journalist, Salopek would often fly into an area to cover a story and then quickly leave again. But he felt he was missing part of the story and wanted to dig deeper. The Out of Eden Walk was born from this desire. Salopek calls it slow journalism. The goal is to deeply explore some of the major news stories of our times by talking to ordinary people who are affected. As Salopek describes it, “It is about slowing down enough to actually inhabit the stories of the day and to get to know the people who are behind the headlines.” 24. What is the Out of Eden Walk? A. It is the latest penned work of Paul Salopek. B. It is a ship journey from Africa to the tip of South America. C. It is a toured long walk across the continents taken by Paul Salopek. D. It is a new fashionable way of travelling through different countries. 25. What does Salopek think of the conversation with strangers? A. Fruitful. B. Discouraging. C. Challenging. D. Time-wasted. 26. Why did Paul Salopek start the Out of Eden Walk? A. To finish his work for the Pulitzer Prizes. B. To explore the best headlines for the journalism. C. To unearth the deeper part of the major news stories. D. To interest the readers in the ancient ordinary people. 27. What do we know about slow journalism? A. Realistic and worthwhile. B. Influential but informal. C. Humorous and relaxing. D. Efficient and meaningful. C Comedian Sarah Silverman recently joined forces with bestselling writers Christopher Golden and Richard Kadrey against two unlikely opponents: ChatGPT’s creator OpenAI and Meta Platforms. The writers filed a copyright infringement (侵犯) case in early July in which they claim their copyrighted books were used without their permission as part of training dataset for ChatGPT and similar AI models. Here’s a critical point to remember: AIs like ChatGPT don’t parrot books word for word. They generate new content based on patterns learned from the training data. The specific words and sentences formed aren’t direct copies from copyrighted books, blurring the lines of traditional infringement. I have a vision there’s a slim chance this case will hold up, but the final call is in the hands of the courts. The cornerstone of human-learning is imitation (模仿). The nature of intelligence — whether biological or artificial rests on the ability to recognize patterns and apply them in innovative ways. AI, such as ChatGPT, operates similarly. It learns from its environment — in this case, the extensive datasets of text — and imitates patterns it finds. That’s how it can compose a strikingly human-like string of text despite having no consciousness or creativity. The current case challenges this understanding, claiming that AI’s method of learning breaks copyright law. Some publishers provide a compensation (补偿) strategy. But there are potential issues with this approach. First, its being in effect might pose enormous, even unovercome challenges. The large scale of data that AI models like ChatGPT take in for training thousands of books, millions of articles, and more makes it impractical to track down every single copyright holder and negotiate terms for use. This could result in high expenses for AI developers, potentially preventing innovation and destroying public models. But here’s an interesting paradox (悖论) to consider: The victory of writers against formal AI service providers may not end the issue. Far from it. The outcome of this unfolding drama could be more than a simple courtroom win or loss; it could fundamentally redefine the boundaries of artificial intelligence and copyright law. 28. What may be the result of the case in the author’s view? A. AI may get away with it. B. Writers may gain huge benefit. C. AI’s works may be banned. D. Meta platforms may be closed. 29. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The reliance of AI on humans. B. The application of AI’s imitation. C. The role of AI in human learning. D. The common feature of AI and human brain. 30. What will the compensation strategy bring about? A. The ceasing of AI development. B. Lack of sustainable quality data. C. The protests from the publishers. D. Financial burdens for AI developers. 31. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. To clarify his or her stand. B. To present an example. C. To make some comparison. D. To add background information. D Researchers have discovered that limiting a certain enzyme (酶) can have a dramatic impact in protecting against the effects of Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔兹海默症). The finding could lead to a new class of drugs that fight the disease. Much of the historical research into Alzheimer’s disease(AD) has focused on plaques (斑块) that form in the brain, which recently, though, have been found not likely to be the direct cause of it. In seeking another way forward, a group of British researchers turned to an Australian study which showed having the gene for the production of an enzyme known as PDE4B was identified as a risk factor for developing Alzheimer’s. With the intention of investigating how PDE4B might affect the brain, the UK team genetically modified (改造) mice with Alzheimer’s to reduce PDE4B activity. The results are astonishing. First, the mice with Alzheimer’s and normal PDE4B expression showed memory loss in the sense of direction, a distinctive characteristic of AD. But those who had the genetic modification to have less PDE4B activity showed no damage at all. The team also observed that inflammation (炎症), another hallmark of AD, decreased to some extent in the brains of mice with less PDE4B activity, compared to those with more of the enzyme. Because all of these effects were found in the mice that already had Alzheimer’s but had significant improvement in symptoms, the researchers say that further investigation into how to limit PDE4B in human patients with the condition could lead to new treatment pathways. “These results offer real hope for the development of new treatments that will benefit patients with Alzheimer’s disease in the future,” said Neil Dawson, a co- author of the study. “The next stage is to test whetherPDE4B- limiting drugs have similar beneficial effects in the AD mouse model, to test their potential effectiveness in human Alzheimer’s disease.” 32. How did the British researchers get the inspiration? A. By figuring out the direct cause of AD. B. By going over much historical research. C. By referring to a previous Australian study. D. By breaking down PDE4B in the AD mouse. 33. What can be learnt about PDE4B? A. Its activity promotes the sense of direction. B. It might bring about the development of AD. C. It is processed by a certain enzyme in the brain. D. It will be investigated to reduce mice brain activity. 34. What does the underlined word “hallmark” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Cause. B. Feature. C. Principle. D. Finding. 35. What do the last two paragraphs mainly talk about? A. The future research focus. B. The existing research background. C. The probable research limitation. D. The practical research application. 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。 Traffic Regulation and Accident Prevention We live in a remarkable time, and many of the once fatal diseases can now be cured with modern medicine and surgery. 36 Expectations of life have greatly increased. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the incredible killing of men, women and children on the roads. Man fights against the motor-car. It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. 37 Nothing can seriously increase your risk of potentially fatal car accidents other than speeding and failing to pay due attention to weather conditions. 38 There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man’s very worst qualities. Usually quiet and pleasant people, when they are behind the steering wheel, will become unrecognizable. They are impolite, aggressive, self-willed like two-year-old, completely selfish. All their hidden frustrations, disappointments, and jealousy seem to be caused by driving. 39 It’s all for his own convenience. Due to a serious tragedy, the city is almost uninhabitable and the huge parking lot makes the town ugly. The destruction of rural areas and the annual mass killings are just a statistic, easily forgotten. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are not strict and even the strictest are not strict enough. Traffic rules are for everyone to follow under any circumstances, and no one can make an exception unless you make a joke of your own life. Universally accepted standards can only have a significant beneficial on the incidence of accidents. Governments should develop safety codes for manufacturers. 40 These measures may sound cruel. However, if these measures result in a reduction in the loss of life every year, they should certainly not be considered serious. After all, the world belongs to humans, not cars. A. There are five reasons for the accident and you are guilty. B. Every year thousands of people are horribly killed, and we sit still and let it happen. C. Surprisingly, society should smile at the driver and forgive him. D. Someone has rightly said that when a person is sitting behind the steering wheel, his car becomes an extension of his personality. E. All advertisements that emphasize power and performance should be banned. F. It is time to develop a universal norm to reduce this senseless waste of human life. G. It is almost certain that one day a cure will be found for the rest of the diseases. 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。 Being good at something and having a passion for it are not enough. Success 41 fundamentally on our view of ourselves and of the events in our lives. When twelve-year-old John Wilson walked into his chemistry class on a rainy day in 1931, he had no 42 of knowing that his life was to change 43 .

When Wilson returned home from hospital two months later, his parents tried to find a way to deal with the catastrophe (灾难) that had 48 their lives. But Wilson did not regard the accident as catastrophic. He learned braille (盲文) quickly and continued his education at Worcester College for the Blind. There, he not only did well as a student but also became a (n) 49 public speaker. Later, he worked in Africa, where many people suffered from 50 for lack of proper treatment. For him, it was one thing to 51 his own fate of being blind and quite another to allow something to continue 52 it could be fixed so easily. This moved him to action. And tens of millions in Africa and Asia can see because of the commitment Wilson made to preventing the 53 . Wilson received several international 54 for his great contributions.

We were on vacation, just me, my husband, and our two kids, out for a nice, safe, socially distanced week away. We went to a popular place called Diana's Baths, where the water falls off a series of flat rocks up the mountain. The baths were full of families, so we made our way to one of the upper levels of rock to keep our distance. Both where we sat and down below, the water fell down and into small pools, where kids in swimsuits were playing water around. I was frightened as I saw my two boys jump between the smooth rocks. I told them to stay away from all those edges. But I soon relaxed, and we were all having fun, laughing in the pools. Suddenly, I turned and saw my son Wyatt sitting down between two rocks in fast-moving water. I shouted at him to get out. He called back something that I couldn't hear, and then he disappeared over the edge. All I remember from the moments after was screaming, over and over, like a prayer, “Somebody help my son!” I didn't even know what help he needed, because I couldn't force myself to look. My husband was already jumping down the rocks. I finally looked. Wyatt was sitting up-he was alive. My biggest fear was gone. As I held my younger son, Jed, close, I heard another woman scream. “That child just went over the waterfall!” she shouted at her husband. “We are leaving!” They walked away, never even looking back to see whether our child was OK. It was about 4 meters from the top of the waterfall to the pool below, which was filled with huge rocks. Wyatt had fallen on his back, straight onto the rocks. That's what Lisa told us. We didn't know her name was Lisa at that point. All we knew was that while everyone else looked on from a distance, too afraid or unbothered to help, Lisa didn't hesitate. 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。 Later, Lisa told me that she was a nurse.________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The rescue team finally came.________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！13 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… 此卷只装订不密封 ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… … 学校：______________姓名：_____________班级：_______________考号：______________________ 绝密★考试结束前 2024-2025学年高二英语上学期期中模拟卷 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 测试范围：选择性必修一Units 1~5（人教版2019） 4. 难度系数：0.65。 5. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 做题时，请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。 1.

He is following the path our human ancestors took out of Africa about 200,000 years ago. Salopek has named his journey the Out of Eden Walk. As he walks through different countries, landscapes, and cultures, Salopek is documenting what he sees and hears. And he isn't walking alone. During each part of his walk, Paul is joined by a local guide. Along the way, he meets people from small villages, cities, and country farms. Sometimes, they give him a place to stay for a night or two. Often, his hosts share a little bit about their lives with him. The Out of Eden Walk is well-named. Besides a few rides on boats or ships, Salopek is walking the entire way. No cars. He doesn’t even ride bikes, though he does use pack animals. An important part of Salopek’s mission is to tell the stories of ordinary people. Walking gives him more time to look around and to talk to the people he encounters. He has spoken to thousands of people since his walk began. As he puts it, “I am in a seven, eight, nine-year-long conversation with total strangers.” Following a story is not new for Paul Salopek. He is a journalist. He has written for The Atlantic, the Chicago Tribune, National Geographic, and other publications. His works have earned many awards, including two Pulitzer Prizes. As a journalist, Salopek would often fly into an area to cover a story and then quickly leave again. But he felt he was missing part of the story and wanted to dig deeper. The Out of Eden Walk was born from this desire. Salopek calls it slow journalism. The goal is to deeply explore some of the major news stories of our times by talking to ordinary people who are affected. As Salopek describes it, “It is about slowing down enough to actually inhabit the stories of the day and to get to know the people who are behind the headlines.” 24. What is the Out of Eden Walk? A. It is the latest penned work of Paul Salopek. B. It is a ship journey from Africa to the tip of South America. C. It is a toured long walk across the continents taken by Paul Salopek. D. It is a new fashionable way of travelling through different countries. 25. What does Salopek think of the conversation with strangers? A. Fruitful. B. Discouraging. C. Challenging. D. Time-wasted. 26. Why did Paul Salopek start the Out of Eden Walk? A. To finish his work for the Pulitzer Prizes. B. To explore the best headlines for the journalism. C. To unearth the deeper part of the major news stories. D. To interest the readers in the ancient ordinary people. 27. What do we know about slow journalism? A. Realistic and worthwhile. B. Influential but informal. C. Humorous and relaxing. D. Efficient and meaningful. C Comedian Sarah Silverman recently joined forces with bestselling writers Christopher Golden and Richard Kadrey against two unlikely opponents: ChatGPT’s creator OpenAI and Meta Platforms. The writers filed a copyright infringement (侵犯) case in early July in which they claim their copyrighted books were used without their permission as part of training dataset for ChatGPT and similar AI models. Here’s a critical point to remember: AIs like ChatGPT don’t parrot books word for word. They generate new content based on patterns learned from the training data. The specific words and sentences formed aren’t direct copies from copyrighted books, blurring the lines of traditional infringement. I have a vision there’s a slim chance this case will hold up, but the final call is in the hands of the courts. The cornerstone of human-learning is imitation (模仿). The nature of intelligence — whether biological or artificial rests on the ability to recognize patterns and apply them in innovative ways. AI, such as ChatGPT, operates similarly. It learns from its environment — in this case, the extensive datasets of text — and imitates patterns it finds. That’s how it can compose a strikingly human-like string of text despite having no consciousness or creativity. The current case challenges this understanding, claiming that AI’s method of learning breaks copyright law. Some publishers provide a compensation (补偿) strategy. But there are potential issues with this approach. First, its being in effect might pose enormous, even unovercome challenges. The large scale of data that AI models like ChatGPT take in for training thousands of books, millions of articles, and more makes it impractical to track down every single copyright holder and negotiate terms for use. This could result in high expenses for AI developers, potentially preventing innovation and destroying public models. But here’s an interesting paradox (悖论) to consider: The victory of writers against formal AI service providers may not end the issue. Far from it. The outcome of this unfolding drama could be more than a simple courtroom win or loss; it could fundamentally redefine the boundaries of artificial intelligence and copyright law. 28. What may be the result of the case in the author’s view? A. AI may get away with it. B. Writers may gain huge benefit. C. AI’s works may be banned. D. Meta platforms may be closed. 29. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The reliance of AI on humans. B. The application of AI’s imitation. C. The role of AI in human learning. D. The common feature of AI and human brain. 30. What will the compensation strategy bring about? A. The ceasing of AI development. B. Lack of sustainable quality data. C. The protests from the publishers. D. Financial burdens for AI developers. 31. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. To clarify his or her stand. B. To present an example. C. To make some comparison. D. To add background information. D Researchers have discovered that limiting a certain enzyme (酶) can have a dramatic impact in protecting against the effects of Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔兹海默症). The finding could lead to a new class of drugs that fight the disease. Much of the historical research into Alzheimer’s disease(AD) has focused on plaques (斑块) that form in the brain, which recently, though, have been found not likely to be the direct cause of it. In seeking another way forward, a group of British researchers turned to an Australian study which showed having the gene for the production of an enzyme known as PDE4B was identified as a risk factor for developing Alzheimer’s. With the intention of investigating how PDE4B might affect the brain, the UK team genetically modified (改造) mice with Alzheimer’s to reduce PDE4B activity. The results are astonishing. First, the mice with Alzheimer’s and normal PDE4B expression showed memory loss in the sense of direction, a distinctive characteristic of AD. But those who had the genetic modification to have less PDE4B activity showed no damage at all. The team also observed that inflammation (炎症), another hallmark of AD, decreased to some extent in the brains of mice with less PDE4B activity, compared to those with more of the enzyme. Because all of these effects were found in the mice that already had Alzheimer’s but had significant improvement in symptoms, the researchers say that further investigation into how to limit PDE4B in human patients with the condition could lead to new treatment pathways. “These results offer real hope for the development of new treatments that will benefit patients with Alzheimer’s disease in the future,” said Neil Dawson, a co- author of the study. “The next stage is to test whetherPDE4B- limiting drugs have similar beneficial effects in the AD mouse model, to test their potential effectiveness in human Alzheimer’s disease.” 32. How did the British researchers get the inspiration? A. By figuring out the direct cause of AD. B. By going over much historical research. C. By referring to a previous Australian study. D. By breaking down PDE4B in the AD mouse. 33. What can be learnt about PDE4B? A. Its activity promotes the sense of direction. B. It might bring about the development of AD. C. It is processed by a certain enzyme in the brain. D. It will be investigated to reduce mice brain activity. 34. What does the underlined word “hallmark” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Cause. B. Feature. C. Principle. D. Finding. 35. What do the last two paragraphs mainly talk about? A. The future research focus. B. The existing research background. C. The probable research limitation. D. The practical research application. 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。 Traffic Regulation and Accident Prevention We live in a remarkable time, and many of the once fatal diseases can now be cured with modern medicine and surgery. 36 Expectations of life have greatly increased. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the incredible killing of men, women and children on the roads. Man fights against the motor-car. It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. 37 Nothing can seriously increase your risk of potentially fatal car accidents other than speeding and failing to pay due attention to weather conditions. 38 There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man’s very worst qualities. Usually quiet and pleasant people, when they are behind the steering wheel, will become unrecognizable. They are impolite, aggressive, self-willed like two-year-old, completely selfish. All their hidden frustrations, disappointments, and jealousy seem to be caused by driving. 39 It’s all for his own convenience. Due to a serious tragedy, the city is almost uninhabitable and the huge parking lot makes the town ugly. The destruction of rural areas and the annual mass killings are just a statistic, easily forgotten. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are not strict and even the strictest are not strict enough. Traffic rules are for everyone to follow under any circumstances, and no one can make an exception unless you make a joke of your own life. Universally accepted standards can only have a significant beneficial on the incidence of accidents. Governments should develop safety codes for manufacturers. 40 These measures may sound cruel. However, if these measures result in a reduction in the loss of life every year, they should certainly not be considered serious. After all, the world belongs to humans, not cars. A. There are five reasons for the accident and you are guilty. B. Every year thousands of people are horribly killed, and we sit still and let it happen. C. Surprisingly, society should smile at the driver and forgive him. D. Someone has rightly said that when a person is sitting behind the steering wheel, his car becomes an extension of his personality. E. All advertisements that emphasize power and performance should be banned. F. It is time to develop a universal norm to reduce this senseless waste of human life. G. It is almost certain that one day a cure will be found for the rest of the diseases. 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。 Being good at something and having a passion for it are not enough.

We were on vacation, just me, my husband, and our two kids, out for a nice, safe, socially distanced week away. We went to a popular place called Diana's Baths, where the water falls off a series of flat rocks up the mountain. The baths were full of families, so we made our way to one of the upper levels of rock to keep our distance. Both where we sat and down below, the water fell down and into small pools, where kids in swimsuits were playing water around. I was frightened as I saw my two boys jump between the smooth rocks. I told them to stay away from all those edges. But I soon relaxed, and we were all having fun, laughing in the pools. Suddenly, I turned and saw my son Wyatt sitting down between two rocks in fast-moving water. I shouted at him to get out. He called back something that I couldn't hear, and then he disappeared over the edge. All I remember from the moments after was screaming, over and over, like a prayer, “Somebody help my son!” I didn't even know what help he needed, because I couldn't force myself to look. My husband was already jumping down the rocks. I finally looked. Wyatt was sitting up-he was alive. My biggest fear was gone. As I held my younger son, Jed, close, I heard another woman scream. “That child just went over the waterfall!” she shouted at her husband. “We are leaving!” They walked away, never even looking back to see whether our child was OK. It was about 4 meters from the top of the waterfall to the pool below, which was filled with huge rocks. Wyatt had fallen on his back, straight onto the rocks. That's what Lisa told us. We didn't know her name was Lisa at that point. All we knew was that while everyone else looked on from a distance, too afraid or unbothered to help, Lisa didn't hesitate. 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。 Later, Lisa told me that she was a nurse.______________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The rescue team finally came._______________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第7页（共10页） 试题 第8页（共10页） 试题 第1页（共12页） 试题 第2页（共12页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 绝密★考试结束前 2024-2025学年高二英语上学期期中模拟卷 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 测试范围：选择性必修一Units 1~5（人教版2019） 4. 难度系数：0.65。 5. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 做题时，请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。 1.

As he walks through different countries, landscapes, and cultures, Salopek is documenting what he sees and hears. And he isn't walking alone. During each part of his walk, Paul is joined by a local guide. Along the way, he meets people from small villages, cities, and country farms. Sometimes, they give him a place to stay for a night or two. Often, his hosts share a little bit about their lives with him. The Out of Eden Walk is well-named. Besides a few rides on boats or ships, Salopek is walking the entire way. No cars. He doesn’t even ride bikes, though he does use pack animals. An important part of Salopek’s mission is to tell the stories of ordinary people. Walking gives him more time to look around and to talk to the people he encounters. He has spoken to thousands of people since his walk began. As he puts it, “I am in a seven, eight, nine-year-long conversation with total strangers.” Following a story is not new for Paul Salopek. He is a journalist. He has written for The Atlantic, the Chicago Tribune, National Geographic, and other publications. His works have earned many awards, including two Pulitzer Prizes. As a journalist, Salopek would often fly into an area to cover a story and then quickly leave again. But he felt he was missing part of the story and wanted to dig deeper. The Out of Eden Walk was born from this desire. Salopek calls it slow journalism. The goal is to deeply explore some of the major news stories of our times by talking to ordinary people who are affected. As Salopek describes it, “It is about slowing down enough to actually inhabit the stories of the day and to get to know the people who are behind the headlines.” 24. What is the Out of Eden Walk? A. It is the latest penned work of Paul Salopek. B. It is a ship journey from Africa to the tip of South America. C. It is a toured long walk across the continents taken by Paul Salopek. D. It is a new fashionable way of travelling through different countries. 25. What does Salopek think of the conversation with strangers? A. Fruitful. B. Discouraging. C. Challenging. D. Time-wasted. 26. Why did Paul Salopek start the Out of Eden Walk? A. To finish his work for the Pulitzer Prizes. B. To explore the best headlines for the journalism. C. To unearth the deeper part of the major news stories. D. To interest the readers in the ancient ordinary people. 27. What do we know about slow journalism? A. Realistic and worthwhile. B. Influential but informal. C. Humorous and relaxing. D. Efficient and meaningful. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. C 27. A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了国家地理探险家Paul Salopek的徒步旅程，他从非洲出发，重走人类祖先迁徙至南美洲的路线，并记录沿途所见所闻，分享普通人的故事。 24. 推理判断题。根据第一段“National Geographic Explorer Paul Salopek is walking from Africa to the tip of South America.(国家地理探险家保罗·萨洛佩克正在从非洲步行到南美洲的顶端。)”和第二段“Salopek has named his journey the Out of Eden Walk. (萨洛佩克将他的旅程命名为“走出伊甸园之旅”。)”可推知, “走出伊甸园之旅”是保罗·萨洛佩克在各大洲进行的一次巡回徒步旅行。故选C项。 25. 推理判断题。根据第二段“As he walks through different countries, landscapes, and cultures, Salopek is documenting what he sees and hears. (当他走过不同的国家、风景和文化时，萨洛佩克正在记录他所看到和听到的东西。)”和第三段“He has spoken to thousands of people since his walk began. As he puts it, ‘I am in a seven, eight, nine-year-long conversation with total strangers.’(自从他开始步行以来，他已经与数千人交谈过。正如他所说，‘我与完全陌生的人进行了长达七、八、九年的对话。’)”可知，萨洛佩克记录他自己一路的所见所闻, 故可推知其与陌生人的谈话是有收获的。故选A项。 26. 细节理解题。根据最后一段“As a journalist, Salopek would often fly into an area to cover a story and then quickly leave again. But he felt he was missing part of the story and wanted to dig deeper. The Out of Eden Walk was born from this desire. (作为一名记者，萨洛佩克经常飞到一个地区报道一个故事，然后很快又离开了。但他觉得自己错过了故事的一部分，想更深入地挖掘。走出伊甸园之旅就是从这个愿望中诞生的。)”可知, 保罗·萨洛佩克开始“走出伊甸园之旅”，是为了挖掘重要新闻故事中更深层的部分。故选C项。 27. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The goal is to deeply explore some of the major news stories of our times by talking to ordinary people who are affected. 目标是通过与受影响的普通人交谈，深入探索我们这个时代的一些重大新闻故事），可知慢速新闻报道要与普通人交谈，因此是务实的、实事求是的(realistic）; 根据 “It is about slowing down enough to actually inhabit the stories of the day and to get to know the people who are behind the headlines.”(这是关于放慢速度，真正融入当天的故事，了解头条新闻背后的人。)”可知, 慢速新闻报道是有意义的（worthwhile）。故选 A项。 C Comedian Sarah Silverman recently joined forces with bestselling writers Christopher Golden and Richard Kadrey against two unlikely opponents: ChatGPT’s creator OpenAI and Meta Platforms. The writers filed a copyright infringement (侵犯) case in early July in which they claim their copyrighted books were used without their permission as part of training dataset for ChatGPT and similar AI models. Here’s a critical point to remember: AIs like ChatGPT don’t parrot books word for word. They generate new content based on patterns learned from the training data. The specific words and sentences formed aren’t direct copies from copyrighted books, blurring the lines of traditional infringement. I have a vision there’s a slim chance this case will hold up, but the final call is in the hands of the courts. The cornerstone of human-learning is imitation (模仿). The nature of intelligence — whether biological or artificial rests on the ability to recognize patterns and apply them in innovative ways. AI, such as ChatGPT, operates similarly. It learns from its environment — in this case, the extensive datasets of text — and imitates patterns it finds. That’s how it can compose a strikingly human-like string of text despite having no consciousness or creativity. The current case challenges this understanding, claiming that AI’s method of learning breaks copyright law. Some publishers provide a compensation (补偿) strategy. But there are potential issues with this approach. First, its being in effect might pose enormous, even unovercome challenges. The large scale of data that AI models like ChatGPT take in for training thousands of books, millions of articles, and more makes it impractical to track down every single copyright holder and negotiate terms for use. This could result in high expenses for AI developers, potentially preventing innovation and destroying public models. But here’s an interesting paradox (悖论) to consider: The victory of writers against formal AI service providers may not end the issue. Far from it. The outcome of this unfolding drama could be more than a simple courtroom win or loss; it could fundamentally redefine the boundaries of artificial intelligence and copyright law. 28. What may be the result of the case in the author’s view? A. AI may get away with it. B. Writers may gain huge benefit. C. AI’s works may be banned. D. Meta platforms may be closed. 29. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The reliance of AI on humans. B. The application of AI’s imitation. C. The role of AI in human learning. D. The common feature of AI and human brain. 30. What will the compensation strategy bring about? A. The ceasing of AI development. B. Lack of sustainable quality data. C. The protests from the publishers. D. Financial burdens for AI developers. 31. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. To clarify his or her stand. B. To present an example. C. To make some comparison. D. To add background information. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. D 31. A 【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要讨论了Sara Silverman、Christopher Golden和Richard Kadrey对OpenAI和Meta的版权侵权诉讼，分析了AI学习模式与版权法之间的冲突，以及可能的法律和行业影响，提出了补偿策略实施的难题，并探讨了案件结果可能带来的AI和版权法界线的根本性改变。 28. 细节理解题。根据第一段“Comedian Sarah Silverman recently joined forces with bestselling writers Christopher Golden and Richard Kadrey against two unlikely opponents: ChatGPT’s creator OpenAI and Meta Platforms. (喜剧演员萨拉·丝沃曼最近与畅销书作家克里斯托弗·戈登和理查德·凯德里联手对抗两个不太可能的对手：ChatGPT的创作者OpenAI和Meta Platforms。)”以及第二段“I have a vision there’s a slim chance this case will hold up, but the final call is in the hands of the courts. (我有一个想象，这个案子维持下去的可能性很小，但最终决定权在法院手中。)”可知，作者认为这个案件胜诉的可能性很小，案件的结果是人工智能可能会逃脱惩罚。故选A项。 29. 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The cornerstone of human-learning is imitation (模仿).(人类学习的基石是模仿。) AI, such as ChatGPT, operates similarly.(人工智能，如ChatGPT，也有类似的运作方式。)”可知，人工智能有和人脑类似的运行方式，本段主要介绍了人工智能与人脑的共同特征。故选D项。 30. 细节理解题。根据第五段“This could result in high expenses for AI developers, potentially preventing innovation and destroying public models. (这可能会导致人工智能开发者的高昂支出，可能会阻碍创新并破坏公共模型。)”可知，补偿策略可能会导致人工智能开发者的高昂支出，即造成人工智能开发者的财务负担。故选D项。 31. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But here’s an interesting paradox (悖论) to consider: The victory of writers against formal AI service providers may not end the issue. Far from it. The outcome of this unfolding drama could be more than a simple courtroom win or loss; it could fundamentally redefine the boundaries of artificial intelligence and copyright law. (但这里有一个有趣的悖论需要考虑：作家战胜正式的人工智能服务提供商可能不会结束这个问题。远非如此。这场正在上演的戏剧的结果可能不仅仅是一场简单的法庭输赢；它可以从根本上重新定义人工智能和版权法的界限。)”可知，作者提出一种悖论，即作家们即使赢得了官司，问题也可能远未解决，这可能从根本上重新定义人工智能和版权法的界限。作者在本段澄清自己的立场，即这场官司的影响可能远远超出法庭上的胜负。故选A项。 D Researchers have discovered that limiting a certain enzyme (酶) can have a dramatic impact in protecting against the effects of Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔兹海默症). The finding could lead to a new class of drugs that fight the disease. Much of the historical research into Alzheimer’s disease(AD) has focused on plaques (斑块) that form in the brain, which recently, though, have been found not likely to be the direct cause of it. In seeking another way forward, a group of British researchers turned to an Australian study which showed having the gene for the production of an enzyme known as PDE4B was identified as a risk factor for developing Alzheimer’s. With the intention of investigating how PDE4B might affect the brain, the UK team genetically modified (改造) mice with Alzheimer’s to reduce PDE4B activity. The results are astonishing. First, the mice with Alzheimer’s and normal PDE4B expression showed memory loss in the sense of direction, a distinctive characteristic of AD. But those who had the genetic modification to have less PDE4B activity showed no damage at all. The team also observed that inflammation (炎症), another hallmark of AD, decreased to some extent in the brains of mice with less PDE4B activity, compared to those with more of the enzyme. Because all of these effects were found in the mice that already had Alzheimer’s but had significant improvement in symptoms, the researchers say that further investigation into how to limit PDE4B in human patients with the condition could lead to new treatment pathways. “These results offer real hope for the development of new treatments that will benefit patients with Alzheimer’s disease in the future,” said Neil Dawson, a co- author of the study. “The next stage is to test whetherPDE4B- limiting drugs have similar beneficial effects in the AD mouse model, to test their potential effectiveness in human Alzheimer’s disease.” 32. How did the British researchers get the inspiration? A. By figuring out the direct cause of AD. B. By going over much historical research. C. By referring to a previous Australian study. D. By breaking down PDE4B in the AD mouse. 33. What can be learnt about PDE4B? A. Its activity promotes the sense of direction. B. It might bring about the development of AD. C. It is processed by a certain enzyme in the brain. D. It will be investigated to reduce mice brain activity. 34. What does the underlined word “hallmark” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Cause. B. Feature. C. Principle. D. Finding. 35. What do the last two paragraphs mainly talk about? A. The future research focus. B. The existing research background. C. The probable research limitation. D. The practical research application. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. B 35. A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了限制PDE4B酶对阿尔兹海默症的影响及其研究前景。 32. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“a group of British researchers turned to an Australian study which showed having the gene for the production of an enzyme known as PDE4B was identified as a risk factor for developing Alzheimer’s (一组英国研究人员参考了一项澳大利亚研究，该研究表明，拥有生产一种名为PDE4B的酶的基因被确定为患阿尔兹海默症的风险因素。)”可知，英国研究人员是通过参考之前的澳大利亚研究获得灵感的。故选C。 33. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“a group of British researchers turned to an Australian study which showed having the gene for the production of an enzyme known as PDE4B was identified as a risk factor for developing Alzheimer’s (一组英国研究人员参考了一项澳大利亚研究，该研究表明，拥有生产一种名为PDE4B的酶的基因被确定为患阿尔兹海默症的风险因素。)”可知，PDE4B可能会导致阿尔兹海默症的发展。故选B。 34. 词句猜测题。根据文章第四段中的“a distinctive characteristic of AD.(阿尔兹海默症的一个显著特征)”“The team also observed that inflammation (炎症), another hallmark of AD (研究团队还观察到，炎症是阿尔兹海默症的另一个标志)”可知，hallmark与characteristic同义，意为“特征”。故选B。 35. 主旨大意题。根据第四段“the researchers say that further investigation into how to limit PDE4B in human patients with the condition could lead to new treatment pathways.

But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the incredible killing of men, women and children on the roads. Man fights against the motor-car. It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. 37 Nothing can seriously increase your risk of potentially fatal car accidents other than speeding and failing to pay due attention to weather conditions. 38 There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man’s very worst qualities. Usually quiet and pleasant people, when they are behind the steering wheel, will become unrecognizable. They are impolite, aggressive, self-willed like two-year-old, completely selfish. All their hidden frustrations, disappointments, and jealousy seem to be caused by driving. 39 It’s all for his own convenience. Due to a serious tragedy, the city is almost uninhabitable and the huge parking lot makes the town ugly. The destruction of rural areas and the annual mass killings are just a statistic, easily forgotten. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are not strict and even the strictest are not strict enough. Traffic rules are for everyone to follow under any circumstances, and no one can make an exception unless you make a joke of your own life. Universally accepted standards can only have a significant beneficial on the incidence of accidents. Governments should develop safety codes for manufacturers. 40 These measures may sound cruel. However, if these measures result in a reduction in the loss of life every year, they should certainly not be considered serious. After all, the world belongs to humans, not cars. A. There are five reasons for the accident and you are guilty. B. Every year thousands of people are horribly killed, and we sit still and let it happen. C. Surprisingly, society should smile at the driver and forgive him. D. Someone has rightly said that when a person is sitting behind the steering wheel, his car becomes an extension of his personality. E. All advertisements that emphasize power and performance should be banned. F. It is time to develop a universal norm to reduce this senseless waste of human life. G. It is almost certain that one day a cure will be found for the rest of the diseases. 【答案】36. G 37. B 38. D 39. C 40.

With the theme of reducing food loss and food waste and promoting 57 (globe) food security, the three-day event 58 (hold) both online and offline attracted more than 300 participants. The current world grain production is about 2.8 billion tons a year. Therefore, the loss of only one percentage 59 (be) equal to the loss of 28 million tons of food. This can feed about 70 million people. In recent years, China 60 (make) great progress in controlling loss and waste in food, with main efforts including upgrading facilities and 61 (equip). In Shandong Province, China’s major grain producer, the Sinograin (中粮集团) grain storage site is equipped with 4,500 high-definition cameras and 280,000 temperature sensors 62 (ensure) that the stock (储备) is in the best condition.

(运用了what引导主语从句、that引导限制性定语从句) [高分句型2] The companion robot is supposed to be a friend for people living alone, which also provides people with a lot of comfort and enrich their lives. (运用了which引导非限制性定语从句) 第二节（满分25分） 67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 It was last August. We were on vacation, just me, my husband, and our two kids, out for a nice, safe, socially distanced week away. We went to a popular place called Diana's Baths, where the water falls off a series of flat rocks up the mountain. The baths were full of families, so we made our way to one of the upper levels of rock to keep our distance. Both where we sat and down below, the water fell down and into small pools, where kids in swimsuits were playing water around. I was frightened as I saw my two boys jump between the smooth rocks. I told them to stay away from all those edges. But I soon relaxed, and we were all having fun, laughing in the pools. Suddenly, I turned and saw my son Wyatt sitting down between two rocks in fast-moving water. I shouted at him to get out. He called back something that I couldn't hear, and then he disappeared over the edge. All I remember from the moments after was screaming, over and over, like a prayer, “Somebody help my son!” I didn't even know what help he needed, because I couldn't force myself to look. My husband was already jumping down the rocks. I finally looked. Wyatt was sitting up-he was alive. My biggest fear was gone. As I held my younger son, Jed, close, I heard another woman scream. “That child just went over the waterfall!” she shouted at her husband. “We are leaving!” They walked away, never even looking back to see whether our child was OK. It was about 4 meters from the top of the waterfall to the pool below, which was filled with huge rocks. Wyatt had fallen on his back, straight onto the rocks. That's what Lisa told us. We didn't know her name was Lisa at that point. All we knew was that while everyone else looked on from a distance, too afraid or unbothered to help, Lisa didn't hesitate. 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。 Later, Lisa told me that she was a nurse.________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The rescue team finally came.________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】Later, Lisa told me that she was a nurse. In fact, by the time I climbed down the rocks and my husband pulled Wyatt out of the water, she had already called 911. She put a red, white, and blue towel under Wyatt's head. She told us to keep him still and on his back in case he had injured his bones. I finally had time to ask her name. “Lisa,” she said. “And I'm not leaving you.” The rescue team finally came. They took Wyatt out of the park to the nearest hospital. Wyatt had three broken bones and a wound in lung—injuries that sound terrible but recover on their own. No sooner had I known that Wyatt was going to be OK, than my thoughts fell to Lisa. If she had not stepped up, would someone else have done so? Perhaps. But it was her. She was the one who went toward the unthinkable instead of turning away. 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了去年8月，作者一家在Diana's Baths度假时孩子遇险被救的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写：①由第一段首句内容“后来，Lisa 告诉我她是一名护士。”可知，第一段可描写当作者对丈夫把孩子救上岸之后Lisa 的做法。 ②由第二段首句内容“救援队终于来了。”可知，第二段可描写作者的儿子被送进医院救治，得知儿子没事以后，作者对Lisa行为的感激。 2.续写线索：Wyatt 被救上岸——Lisa帮忙救助 ——送进医院治疗——回想起Lisa——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.站出来：step up/come forward②.转身离去：turn away/turn around to leave 情绪类 可怕： terrible /horrible 【点睛】[高分句型1]. No sooner had I known that Wyatt was going to be OK, than my thoughts fell to Lisa. (运用了no sooner...than的倒装结构) [高分句型2]. If she had not stepped up, would someone else have done so?（运用了if引导的虚拟语气） 试卷第1页，共3页 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年高二英语上学期期中模拟卷 参考答案 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 1—5 BAACB 第二节（共15小题；每小题1.5分，满分22.5分） 6—10 BACBC 11—15 ACBAC 16—20 ABACB 第二部分 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） 21.
