B When Rachel Ratelle saw a news video of a burned koala trying to climb a tree to safety in fire-ravaged (火灾肆虐的) Australia, she decided to do something about it. She looked up wildlife rescue and relief agencies in Australia to find out what they needed most. Besides donations, many organizations asked for hand-sewn (手缝) and knitted pouches (袋子) and wraps for koalas and other animals that were burned or had lost their homes and parents in the fires. This idea attracted Ratelle but there was just one problem. “I’d never sewn in my life,” said Ratelle, 17, a senior at Rancho Buena Vista High School in Vista, US. “Giving money seemed like something too simple. But I wanted to directly help these animals by doing something myself, so I decided to learn how to sew.” Over the next few months, Ratelle bought her own sewing machine and taught herself how to sew via videos online. Then she purchased 18 yards of fabric and sewed 25 pouches of different sizes and shipped them off to For Australian Wildlife Needing Aid (FAWNA), one of several relief organizations that have rushed to rescue koalas, kangaroos and other species suffering from burns. A week later, she received a photo from FAWNA with a young joey (幼兽) in one of her larger pouches. “It made me feel like I contributed to the world and it showed how a simple act of kindness can go a long way,” said Ratelle, who hopes to study biology for a future career as a nurse practitioner. “I plan to use my new sewing skills to help animals and people devastated (蹂躏) by natural disasters,” she said. According to the World Wildlife Fund, it estimated that 1.2 billion animals have died, as a result of the bushfires, which have burned more than 26 million acres in Australia. Several craft guild (手工业行会) websites around the world have mobilized (动员) for Australian relief by making the animal pouches. Karen Newberry and her two daughters Madison, 12 and Rochelle, 8, from San Diego also offered their help in such a way. For Newberry, “it was a big push that made we crafters, sewers to realize there’s something more we can do than just make things for ourselves,” she said. 4. What do the first two paragraphs mainly talk about? A. What inspired Ratelle to learn to sew. B. What is needed to save koalas and other species. C. The poor living conditions of wild animals in Australia. D. Different ways to help koalas and other animals in Australia. 5. How did Ratelle feel when she received a photo from FAWNA according to the text? A. Proud. B. Calm. C. Surprised. D. Disappointed. 6. The statistics (统计数字) in Paragraph 8 are used to show ______. A. how frequent the bushfires are in Australia B. how harmful the bushfires are in Australia C. the great varieties of wild animals in Australia D. the difficulties facing relief organizations in Australia 7. What do Newberry’s words in the last paragraph suggest? A. People should stay united through difficult times. B. Life is not easy for crafters and sewers in Australia. C. It is challenging for crafters and sewers to do relief work. D. Crafters and sewers can do more to help animals. C While conquering the world’s swimming pools in the late 1990s and the 2000s, Amanda Beard had already included breathing exercises in her training. Several years after the end of her athletic career, she discovered walking meditation. Today the seven-time US Olympic medalist practices walking meditation in nature, around the house, or while walking the dog. It’s a daily practice with the focused mindfulness of meditation that contributes positively to every aspect of her life, she says. You don’t need equipment or a designated space to start. The idea of a walking meditation is to pay attention to the way your body feels, noticing things like the sky, trees, tuning into all of your senses. This means you can meditate “on the go” in the countryside, in the city, in your backyard, and virtually anywhere. A simple, 10-minute walking meditation for beginners requires that you just start at ease. Consider what you hear, smell and see. Think about how your feet touch the ground. Fully focus on these feelings. A report in Health Promotion Perspectives also found that walking meditation can improve your balance, adjust your heart rate, boost your mental focus, and help you battle anxiety and depression. “The benefits of meditation are many,” says Dr. Schramm, a board-certified family physician and meditation teacher. “When we do this over and over again, we train the brain to focus on only one thing at a time and this increases both our blood flow and actual neuronal (神经元) changes within our brains.” “The magic of meditation is to be able to help you connect with yourself; meditation shouldn’t feel a certain way,” says Tara Stiles, a yoga and wellness expert. It’s a common mistake in meditation: People fear a wandering mind. “A wandering mind is completely normal,” Stiles says. “Even experienced meditators aren’t sitting there never having a thought, but when they have the thought they choose to guide themselves back to their breath instead of getting frustrated. 8. What is walking meditation? A. Plain walking. B. Mindful walking. C. A competitive sport. D. Deep thought while stationary. 9. Which of the following is recommended to a beginner starting walking meditation? A. A familiar environment. B. A 10-minute walking time. C. A relaxed but observant state. D. A piece of special equipment. 10. What is the brain’s reaction to walking meditation according to Dr. Schramm? A. Enhancing the blood flow. B. Undergoing balance training. C. Having more active thoughts. D. Decreasing neuronal changes. 11. What is Tara Stiles’ attitude towards distractions? A Carefree. B. Frustrated. C. Concerned. D. Positive. D For most ordinary purposes, machine translation (MT) has got a lot better in the past years. The biggest source of improvement has been the adoption of “deep learning” in training translating systems. But improvement has also come about through the expansion of clever companies solving individual tasks. Some have created specialist dictionaries so that important terms can be translated accurately and consistently. Other inventions combine MT with a human translator’s editing tools, which means translators spend most of their time checking and perfecting MT output, rather than doing the work of the translating themselves. For some translators, being a machine’s editor may sound depressing. This can be seen the other way around, however. A human repeatedly translating identical formulae can get bored. Allowing the machine to do these boring jobs frees the translator to apply specialized knowledge, solving more intellectually satisfying problems. What are those problems? One Madrid-based translator for a big law firm describes a recent task. It involved making a critical distinction in a legal document: a Spanish word (dolo) that’s properly translated as “wilful misconduct” was translated only as “misconduct” by software. Since the law requires considerably severer punishment when the misconduct is “wilful”, the omission (省略) was potentially disastrous. Today, many translation firms are proud of using MT, not as a crutch (依赖) but as a means to cut costs and turnaround times. Part of their job becomes knowing what can be automated and what cannot. Instruction manuals can be left to MT while others like a novel legal argument cannot. The bad news for some translators is that a tap of repeatable, easy work is being turned off. The good news is that what remains will be brain-challenging stuff for people who know a language and something else. Tales of artificial intelligence usually test humans against machines. But the translators of the future will be neither entirely human nor machine. They will be human beings with mechanical enhancements. 12. What can we learn about machine translation from paragraph 1? A. It has been mostly used by specialists. B. Lots of efforts have been made to improve it. C. Some clever companies have made a fortune from it. D. It has replaced human translators in some simple tasks. 13. What can be inferred from the case mentioned by the Madrid-based translator? A. Experienced translators are hard to find. B. Machine translation can be inaccurate. C. Machine translation has led to many misjudgments. D. It is difficult for translators to tell“wilful misconduct”from“misconduct”. 14. What is many translation firms’ attitude towards using machine translation today? A. Positive. B. Critical. C. Uninterested. D. Doubtful. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Technology contributes to productive translators B. Translation is faced with a great technical challenge C. The translator of the future is a human-machine hybrid D. Career opportunities in the field of translation are increasing 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。 Bing, also known as a Chinese pancake, is a traditional Chinese recipe, similar to pancakes.

Besides keeping the school clean, he was always ready to help teachers carry books from the library to the classroom. Anyone who needed help in school knew they could count on David. Decades ago, his wife suddenly passed away soon after their marriage, and since then, David had been living alone. After returning home from work, David often read cooking magazines because of his passion for baking (烘焙). He would bring freshly baked cookies and bread to school every week and serve them to the teachers. “Wow! They’re so delicious, David!” Samantha, the English teacher, told him. She was one of the teachers that enjoyed David’s love and praised his efforts. David felt he was losing his strength as he turned old. He’d turn 75 in a week. He thought he should retire (退休). He told Samantha and other teachers what he had been thinking, “I’m planning to retire. I think there must be someone else who might need this job to make a living.” “Oh! David! We’ll miss you if that happens,” the teachers cried. “We don’t want you to leave!” David smiled and told them, “You know I don’t have a wife to look after or kids to raise, so money isn’t what has kept me going all these years. Your care and praise have encouraged me to work hard.” The next day, David went into the headmaster’s (校长) office and told him about his decision. “Are you sure, David? You’re an excellent member of our school, and letting you go isn’t easy for us,” the headmaster said. “Thank you, Sir,” David said. “But I feel I’m getting weaker, and it’s become difficult for me to keep the school clean. So my decision is final.” The headmaster agreed eventually. 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。 The day before David’s 75th birthday was his last day at work. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day after work, Samantha, with other teachers, went to see David with a big cake. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2024-2025学年自治区普通高考适应性检测月考试卷 英语测试卷(二) (考试时间：120分钟 满分：120分) 第一部分 听力(略) 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) 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 【1~3题答案】 【答案】1.

Yours, Li Hua 第二节(满分25分) 【47题答案】 【答案】参考范文： The day before David’s 75th birthday was his last day at work. Before leaving the school that day, he said goodbye to all the teachers and gifted them baked cookies. “Thank you for your hard work and delicious cookies, David!” Samantha and other teachers said. Later that day, Samantha suddenly realized it was David’s birthday the next day. Every year, they would celebrate his birthday in school by buying a cake for him. “We need to celebrate his birthday!” Samantha told the other teachers. “We should visit David’s house tomorrow.” “Good idea!” they all agreed. The next day after work, Samantha, with other teachers, went to see David with a big cake. They drove to David’s house and knocked on his door. Seeing the teachers standing on his doorstep, he covered his mouth with his hands, “What a pleasant surprise! Please come in!” David was so happy to see all the teachers in his house. “Happy birthday to you...” the teachers sang the song to David, who was touched greatly. After learning old David felt lonely, Samantha and other teachers promised to come to see him every Saturday. They thought it was time to return love to him now. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
