B My good friend, George, was influenced by his parents, who are some of the best examples of giving, whether they get paid or not. When I was a little child, I joined George and his mom in going to Erin’s house, bringing food and daily supplies with us. Obviously, Erin’s family faced economic trouble and could hardly afford food. George and I took several bags of things to the door, rang the bell and ran off. Erin still doesn’t know to this day who did that. Since then, I’ve always given whatever I could afford to help the people in need. You never knew what my act would lead the people in need to do. A few years ago, I came across a homeless man begging for money to get bread at a bus stop. I could have ignored him, but I felt sorry for him and pulled out my wallet. I only had $20 in my hand. I was just a college student. However, I handed him the money, and he promised me that he’d find a job to make a living. When I got on the bus, he smiled at me and said, “I’ll remember you forever!” I also smiled. It totally made my day, and I would also never forget his face. Later, I lent my phone to one boy to call his family and managed to help his worried mother find a job online. Though an act of kindness toward anyone can seem like no big deal to me and cost me nearly nothing, I believe in the effects it can have on other people. Hopefully, they still have faith in humanity. It’s the kind of interaction that is more valuable than money. Since doing good is within our power, let’s help out more. 24. What made the author start helping others? A. The request from Erin. B. The request from George’s parents. C. His past experience of giving money to the homeless. D. His childhood experience of doing good with George. 25. How does the author develop paragraph 3? A. By giving reasons. B. By making suggestions. C. By making comparisons. D. By giving examples. 26. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph? A. To call on people to do good deeds. B. To explain doing good costs nothing. C. To advise people to remember others’ help. D. To show interaction is as valuable as money. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. The Power of Kindness B. Give to Get Paid C. Try to Make My Day D. A Big Deal with the Honest C A new study from a German research group says climate change will reduce everyone’s income (收入) by about 19 percent over the next 25 years. That would be about $38 trillion per year. But the report warns it could get worse between 25 and 75 years from now if nothing is done soon. Developed countries such as Germany, the United States and France would face smaller decreases. The researchers foresaw that people living in those countries would see 11 to 13 percent less income. The greatest economic effect will be felt by people in the least-developed nations. The researchers first estimated (估算) what the world’s economic growth would be without climate change. They then applied those values to the damage to economies if climate change continues at its present pace. There will still be economic growth but it will be 19 percent lower in most places once the damage of climate change is taken into consideration. Most at the research group have been centering on extreme weather events such as heat waves floods, typhoons, hurricanes and other large storms. However, the effects are still mainly driven by average warming or overall temperature increases. The average world temperature last year was a record. That number was 1.35 ℃ above the average during pre-industrial times, before modern technology. In the US, the southeastern and southwestern states such as New Mexico and Arizona are estimated to suffer the largest economic effects. In Europe, Spain and Italy are likely to feel the effects more than countries like Denmark and Germany. Areas that are usually cold for most of the year — Canada, Russia, Norway, Finland, and Sweden — will have good results from warming. Experts note that the world’s poorest countries are also the least prepared to adapt to climate change. Those countries are least responsible for the change, but they will agonize 60 percent more income loss than wealthy nations. 28. What does the new study mainly show? A. The causes of climate change. B. The process of climate change. C. The economic losses caused by climate change. D. The health problems caused by climate change. 29. What have most of the researchers been focusing on? A. Application value. B. Temperature decreases. C. Modern technology. D. Natural disasters. 30. Why is Canada less affected by climate change? A. It has a large area. B. It has cold weather. C. It is underdeveloped. D. It has a small population. 31. What does the underlined word “agonize” in the last paragraph mean? A Research. B. Suffer. C. Avoid. D. Reduce. D Inside a recording room at Queen Mary University of London, several researchers are working with new artificial intelligence (AI) tools. Their aim is to develop what they call the“new virtual (虚拟的) worlds” of music. Andrea Martonelli and Max Graf are among more than 30 doctoral students working with Mathieu Barthet, a senior lecturer in Digital Media. They are exploring the possibilities of computational creativity and generative AI to build these virtual worlds. Generative AI is a term that describes technology tools designed to operate at human levels. Together, the researchers have set up a future studio where music meets most advanced technology. Martonelli played a HITar, a guitar with AI sensors (传感器) added to it. The sensors can read his movements to create drum-like sounds that accompany(伴随) the guitar music. These sounds cannot be made with a normal guitar. Generative AI grew in popularity last year thanks to a robotic language system. Generative AI can create new sounds, words for music or entire songs on its own. But artists usually use simpler AI to add to their sounds. Musicians worry that the technology could go too far. Amy plays in an English rock group. She said she is not in support of the music that includes artificially made voices of actual artists. She said she felt the same way about using dead artists’ voices in songs. In November, the rock group released a song. It is considered the group’s last song and includesa musician’s voice, who died in 1980. His sounds were taken from an old recording and recreated with AI. A famous singer said, “I think AI can have its place in the music production chain.” But he added, “This is only possible if the technology is guided in the right way and if there are rules in place to make sure that musicians keep some amount of control.” 32. What are the doctoral students working on? A. The history of traditional music. B. The influence of AI on human creativity. C The development of musical instruments. D. The creation of virtual music environments. 33. What is the function of the sensors added to the HI Tar? A. To provide backing music. B. To control the language system. C. To monitor the guitarist’s movements. D. To improve the singer’s voice qualities. 34. What is Amy’s attitude to the music made by AI? A. Curious. B. Unfavorable. C. Uncaring. D. Thankful. 35. What does the famous singer in the last paragraph say about AI? A. It is a possible way to make music rules. B. It should be stopped in music production. C It should be used wisely for creating music. D. It is the only way to make dead artists’ voices alive. 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。 Get Ready for the School Year While it’s hard to say goodbye to summer, it’s also great fun and exciting to go back to school.

And he would often end up having meals with them. Later, he had an idea of helping those people in need by offering them kindness cards with words of encouragement on them. With his parents’ help, the Kindness Card Program finally started. Last week, Jimmy was invited to speak at a charity event, and the audience gave him a wallet containing a lot of money. They said, “We are deeply touched by what you have done, and we just want you to have a bike to be able to help and feed more people in a more organized way in your travels.” Hearing that, Jimmy was very happy. After finishing that speech, he gained a helpful friend - a new bike. With the bike, Jimmy could travel to more places in his free time, and more people became part of the Kindness Card Program. To make the program more open to the public, Jimmy’s parents offered to post the stories of the people he had helped online. Soon, people from the Internet started to respond. And Jimmy also won more chances to speak in public over the next months. Many people would come up to Jimmy and give him gift cards with their words of encouragement on the back. One day, Jimmy was walking in the park nearby when he saw a homeless man playing the violin with his head down. The music from the violin sounded very sad. It was heartbreaking. Obviously, the homeless man felt hopeless. Jimmy tried to talk to him, “Hello, is there anything I can do for you?” The homeless man wouldn’t even look at Jimmy. Jimmy kept asking, “Hey, young man, it is cold outside. Why not come to my home and have a meal?” Then Jimmy handed him a kindness card with the words “Keep your head up”. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Looking at the card, the homeless man looked up and opened up. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Years later, the homeless man, a famous violinist now, came to Jimmy’s home. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 福建省部分达标学校2024—2025学年第一学期期中 高一英语质量监测 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用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．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，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?

Yours, Li Hua 第二节 (满分25分) 【67题答案】 【答案】Looking at the card, the homeless man looked up and opened up. “I lost my job. I love playing the violin, but I can’t afford to learn it anymore. I feel terrible for being like this. I’m sorry for being unfriendly to you.” Jimmy patted him gently and said, “It is okay. You still have the possibility of having a brand-new life, and if you really like music, you should never give it up.” Hearing Jimmy’s words, the man was lost in thought. Then Jimmy invited him to his home for dinner. When he left, he gave Jimmy a victory sign. Years later, the homeless man, a famous violinist now, came to Jimmy’s home. As Jimmy opened the door, the violinist took out the kindness card he had treasured for years and said, “Without your kindness card, I couldn’t have made it. So I can’t thank you enough.” Holding his hands, Jimmy smiled and said gratefully, “It was you who helped yourself; it was you who rediscovered your love for music; it was you who found a renewed sense of purpose. I did nothing.” Then they walked into Jimmy’s house and had a long and deep conversation like old friends. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
