Meanwhile, my mother gave a list of groceries and my father asked me to take care of several pending chores, such as getting the car serviced. When I dropped my father off that morning, he said, “I will meet you here at 5: 00 p. m., and we will go home together. ” After hurriedly completing my chores, I went straight to the nearest movie theater. I got so engrossed that I forgot the time. By the time I ran to the garage and got the car and hurried to where my father was waiting for me, it was almost 6: 00 p. m. He anxiously asked me, “Why were you late?” I was so ashamed of telling him I was watching a movie that I said, “The car wasn’t ready, so I had to wait,” not realizing that he had already called the garage. When he caught me in the lie, he said, “There’s something wrong in the way I brought you up that didn’t give you the confidence to tell me the truth. In order to figure out where I went wrong with you, I’m going to walk home 18 miles and think about it.” So, dressed in his suit and dress shoes, he began to walk home in the dark on mostly unpaved, unlit roads. I couldn’t leave him, so for five-and-a-half hours I drove behind him, watching my father go through this agony for a stupid lie that I uttered. I decided then and there that I was never going to lie again. I often think about that episode and wonder, if he had punished me the way we punish our children, whether I would have learned a lesson at all. I don’t think so. I would have suffered the punishment and gone on doing the same thing. But this single action was so powerful that it is still as if it happened yesterday. 4. Why did the author drive to the town? A. To watch a hit movie. B. To buy some groceries. C. To give his father a lift. D. To get the car serviced. 5. What did the father decide to do after finding the author lying? A. Reflect on his parenting. B. Blame the author severely. C. Ignore the author’s behavior. D. Punish the author immediately. 6. How did the author feel when he drove behind his father? A. Relieved. B. Annoyed. C. Intolerable. D. Regretful. 7. What can we learn from the text? A. You don’t have to choose a day to lie. B. It’s better to lie than to admit a mistake. C. Do not do to others what you don’t like to do. D. Non-violence is powerful in teaching a lesson. C On September 9, 2024, Apple released its latest iPhone 16 series at an event called “It’s Glowtime”. At the event, Tim Cook, the company’s CEO, played up the promise of the phones’ AI features in a pre-recorded video. Indeed, the demonstration seemed impressive. When Cook pointed the camera at a restaurant, the AI assistant Siri could tell him what was on the menu. It also could answer his questions fairly well and learn about the users from their interactions with their devices. For instance, Siri could know if a user’s mother was calling and acted appropriately. Apple is one of many firms that want to take AI beyond huge data centres, known as the cloud, and run it on smaller devices, known as the edge. Samsung, Apple’s major competitor, launched its Galaxy S24 with some AI features earlier this year. So did Microsoft, which has launched Windows PCs designed for AI. But their efforts have shown that it is not easy to shift cloud-based AI models to the edge devices. At present, cloud-based AI models are mostly trained on graphics processing units (GPUs) that consume so much energy that it can take a nuclear-power plant to fuel them. They also need huge amounts of memory and data. All these can cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Even once they are trained, running these AI models is costly. According to one estimate, it costs OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, 36 cents every time someone asks its AI model a question. Companies are experimenting with various solutions to these problems. Apple will offer on-device AI to deal with the easiest tasks, but send trickier problems to the firm’s private cloud. The service will direct the most difficult requests to third-party models such as ChatGPT. But even such smaller on-device AI models require a lot of computing power to run, which puts huge stress on the edge devices’ batteries. “Making the technology work could not only start a supercycle in device sales, but also create new opportunities for apps and digital advertising,” says Neil Shah of Counterpoint, a research firm. “But for the moment, edge devices are barely ready for basic functions, let alone Glowtime.” 8. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The Glowtime event. B. iPhone 16’s AI features. C. Tim Cook’s performance. D. The future of AI phones. 9. Why are Samsung and Microsoft mentioned in the text? A. To tell readers how bad competition can be. B. To warn Apple of the potential consequences. C. To compare their newly released edge devices. D. To show how hard it is to apply AI to edge devices. 10. What is the problem with cloud-based AI models? A. OpenAI charges too much money. B. All of them have to be trained on GPUs. C. It is too expensive to train and run them. D. They can only deal with the easiest tasks. 11. What does Neil Shah most probably imply? A. iPhone 16 is bound to disappoint its users. B. AI phones’ success will depend on new apps. C. Sales of AI phones will increase greatly soon. D. Tim Cook was not honest with the AI features. D Recent research indicates that Ice Age cave art, dating back as far as 40,000 years, may have been partially influenced by a visual psychological phenomenon still experienced by humans today. The research team, led by Dr. Izzy Wisher at Aarhus University, tested the theory that cave artists may have experienced pareidolia (空想性错视) — a psychological phenomenon where people see meaningful forms in random patterns, such as seeing faces in clouds. They investigated whether pareidolia may have influenced the artists who painted animals in the caves in Northern Spain. The research found that 71 percent of images studied in the caves showed a strong relationship to the natural features of the cave wall, suggesting pareidolia may have been a partial influence on the artists. Examples included where the curved edges of the cave wall were used to represent the backs of animals such as wild horses. The research also found the majority of the images lacked additional details such as eyes or hair, which correlates with the simplistic nature of imagery influenced by pareidolia. The research team, also investigated whether lighting conditions in the caves at the time the artwork was created might have contributed to the potential influence of pareidolia. To do this, Dr Wisher used a virtual reality gaming software called Unity to model the cave walls and the light sources used by the cave artists. The results showed that low and unstable lighting conditions did not have a strong connection to cave art that uses natural features. Dr. Wisher argues that the influence of pareidolia was evident in some, but not all, of the artwork, suggests that cave artists may also have been actively looking for shapes that reminded them of animals within the caves to incorporate into their drawings, as part of a dialogue between the artist’s personal creativity and the forms seen in the cave walls. The team believes their study offers the first systematic testing of this theory, and is the first to use simulated lighting conditions in virtual reality to achieve this. 12. What does the research focus on? A. How people survive Ice Age. B. Why psychology matters in life. C. When cave art came into being. D. What impacts Ice Age cave art. 13. What can we know about pareidolia? A. It promotes artistic creation. B. It is created to test art theories. C. It is an ancient painting technique. D. It causes big psychological problems. 14. What do the underlined words “correlates with” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Cooperates with. B. Agrees with. C. Brings up. D. Makes up. 15. What may Dr. Wisher think of their research? A. Ground-breaking. B. Good for nothing. C. Far from successful. D. Of great practical use. 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。 Creativity isn’t something that comes naturally to everyone.

They were driving with the windows down on the 1. 4- mile, two- lane Route 90 bridge, which crosses the shallow waters of the Assawoman Bay. Talking and laughing, the Bauers enjoyed their journey as they headed home. “Ava,” Bauer said, “you know what? I’ve gotten my boat stuck here a time or two. The water is too shallow!” He added that it was about the depth of 1. 3 meters. Before Ava was able to ask about more details of her father’s amusing experience, a crash disturbed everything. Not far ahead of them, a black pickup (轻型货车) was sliding from one lane to the other. To the Bauers’ horror, it was out of control, running into a concrete barrier, spinning like a top, and flipping over the SUV directly ahead of them. Eventually, it came to rest hanging over the railing of the bridge. Bauer hit the brakes in time to avoid the vehicles in his path and managed to pull up. “Ava, are you OK? ” he asked. She was shaken, but otherwise unhurt. Suddenly, a desperate scream came from the pickup. Having told Ava to stay where she was, Bauer got out of his car to check on the pickup. The driver’s door flung open and a man climbed out. He dropped to the ground and then pointed down, saying something in Spanish. Bauer ran up beside him and saw a car seat in the water. Next to it was a girl about two years old floating on her back. Thankfully, the girl was near the coast. However, matters quickly went from bad to frightening when the girl rolled over onto her stomach. Bauer waited for the pickup driver to do something, but he didn’t move. Maybe he was in shock. 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。 The girl was terrified, kicking and screaming. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Minutes later, an ambulance arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力 1—5 BABBC 6—10 CCBAA 11—15 BACAB 16—20 CACAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2024—2025学年高三年级期中考前模拟英语试题（二） 第Ⅰ卷 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） 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

At the event, Tim Cook, the company’s CEO, played up the promise of the phones’ AI features in a pre-recorded video. Indeed, the demonstration seemed impressive. When Cook pointed the camera at a restaurant, the AI assistant Siri could tell him what was on the menu. It also could answer his questions fairly well and learn about the users from their interactions with their devices. For instance, Siri could know if a user’s mother was calling and acted appropriately. Apple is one of many firms that want to take AI beyond huge data centres, known as the cloud, and run it on smaller devices, known as the edge. Samsung, Apple’s major competitor, launched its Galaxy S24 with some AI features earlier this year. So did Microsoft, which has launched Windows PCs designed for AI. But their efforts have shown that it is not easy to shift cloud-based AI models to the edge devices. At present, cloud-based AI models are mostly trained on graphics processing units (GPUs) that consume so much energy that it can take a nuclear-power plant to fuel them. They also need huge amounts of memory and data. All these can cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Even once they are trained, running these AI models is costly. According to one estimate, it costs OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, 36 cents every time someone asks its AI model a question. Companies are experimenting with various solutions to these problems. Apple will offer on-device AI to deal with the easiest tasks, but send trickier problems to the firm’s private cloud. The service will direct the most difficult requests to third-party models such as ChatGPT. But even such smaller on-device AI models require a lot of computing power to run, which puts huge stress on the edge devices’ batteries. “Making the technology work could not only start a supercycle in device sales, but also create new opportunities for apps and digital advertising,” says Neil Shah of Counterpoint, a research firm. “But for the moment, edge devices are barely ready for basic functions, let alone Glowtime.” 8. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The Glowtime event. B. iPhone 16’s AI features. C. Tim Cook’s performance. D. The future of AI phones. 9. Why are Samsung and Microsoft mentioned in the text? A. To tell readers how bad competition can be. B. To warn Apple of the potential consequences. C. To compare their newly released edge devices. D. To show how hard it is to apply AI to edge devices. 10. What is the problem with cloud-based AI models? A. OpenAI charges too much money. B. All of them have to be trained on GPUs. C. It is too expensive to train and run them. D. They can only deal with the easiest tasks. 11. What does Neil Shah most probably imply? A. iPhone 16 is bound to disappoint its users. B. AI phones’ success will depend on new apps. C. Sales of AI phones will increase greatly soon. D. Tim Cook was not honest with the AI features. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要分析了iPhone 16存在的技术问题。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“When Cook pointed the camera at a restaurant, the AI assistant Siri could tell him what was on the menu. It also could answer his questions fairly well and learn about the users from their interactions with their devices. For instance, Siri could know if a user’s mother was calling and acted appropriately.(当库克将摄像头对准一家餐厅时，人工智能助手Siri可以告诉他菜单上有什么。它还可以很好地回答他的问题，并从用户与设备的互动中了解用户。例如，Siri可以知道用户的母亲是否在打电话，并做出适当的反应)”可知，本段主要介绍了iPhone已经具备的AI功能。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Samsung, Apple’s major competitor, launched its Galaxy S24 with some AI features earlier this year. So did Microsoft, which has launched Windows PCs designed for AI. But their efforts have shown that it is not easy to shift cloud-based AI models to the edge devices.(今年早些时候，苹果的主要竞争对手三星推出了带有一些人工智能功能的Galaxy S24。微软（Microsoft）也是如此，它推出了专为人工智能设计的Windows PCs。但它们的努力表明，将基于云的人工智能模型转移到边缘设备并不容易)”可知，文章提及三星和微软是为了展示将人工智能应用于边缘设备有多么困难。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“All these can cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Even once they are trained, running these AI models is costly.(所有这些都可能耗资数亿美元。即使训练有素，运行这些人工智能模型也是昂贵的)”可知，培训和运行基于云的人工智能模型价格昂贵，这是一个问题。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But for the moment, edge devices are barely ready for basic functions, let alone Glowtime.(但就目前而言，边缘设备的基本功能还不完善，更不用说Glowtime了)”及第一段“On September 9, 2024, Apple released its latest iPhone 16 series at an event called “It’s Glowtime”. At the event, Tim Cook, the company’s CEO, played up the promise of the phones’ AI features in a pre- recorded video.(2024年9月9日，苹果在名为“It 's Glowtime”的活动上发布了最新的iPhone 16系列。在发布会上，苹果首席执行官蒂姆•库克（Tim Cook）在一段预先录制的视频中强调了这款手机的人工智能功能)”可知，Neil Shah认为苹果16的人工智能技术还不完善，所以苹果16用户会失望。故选A。 D Recent research indicates that Ice Age cave art, dating back as far as 40,000 years, may have been partially influenced by a visual psychological phenomenon still experienced by humans today. The research team, led by Dr. Izzy Wisher at Aarhus University, tested the theory that cave artists may have experienced pareidolia (空想性错视) — a psychological phenomenon where people see meaningful forms in random patterns, such as seeing faces in clouds. They investigated whether pareidolia may have influenced the artists who painted animals in the caves in Northern Spain. The research found that 71 percent of images studied in the caves showed a strong relationship to the natural features of the cave wall, suggesting pareidolia may have been a partial influence on the artists. Examples included where the curved edges of the cave wall were used to represent the backs of animals such as wild horses. The research also found the majority of the images lacked additional details such as eyes or hair, which correlates with the simplistic nature of imagery influenced by pareidolia. The research team, also investigated whether lighting conditions in the caves at the time the artwork was created might have contributed to the potential influence of pareidolia. To do this, Dr Wisher used a virtual reality gaming software called Unity to model the cave walls and the light sources used by the cave artists. The results showed that low and unstable lighting conditions did not have a strong connection to cave art that uses natural features. Dr. Wisher argues that the influence of pareidolia was evident in some, but not all, of the artwork, suggests that cave artists may also have been actively looking for shapes that reminded them of animals within the caves to incorporate into their drawings, as part of a dialogue between the artist’s personal creativity and the forms seen in the cave walls. The team believes their study offers the first systematic testing of this theory, and is the first to use simulated lighting conditions in virtual reality to achieve this. 12. What does the research focus on? A. How people survive Ice Age. B. Why psychology matters in life. C. When cave art came into being. D. What impacts Ice Age cave art. 13. What can we know about pareidolia? A. It promotes artistic creation. B. It is created to test art theories. C. It is an ancient painting technique. D. It causes big psychological problems. 14. What do the underlined words “correlates with” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Cooperates with. B. Agrees with. C. Brings up. D. Makes up. 15. What may Dr. Wisher think of their research? A. Ground-breaking. B. Good for nothing. C. Far from successful. D. Of great practical use. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要通过对冰河时代洞穴艺术的研究，探讨其可能受到的影响因素。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Recent research indicates that Ice Age cave art, dating back as far as 40,000 years, may have been partially influenced by a visual psychological phenomenon still experienced by humans today. (最近的研究表明，冰河时代的洞穴艺术可以追溯到40,000年前，可能部分受到当今人类仍在经历的视觉心理现象的影响。)”及第二段“The research team, led by Dr. Izzy Wisher at Aarhus University, tested the theory that cave artists may have experienced pareidolia — a psychological phenomenon where people see meaningful forms in random patterns, such as seeing faces in clouds. They investigated whether pareidolia may have influenced the artists who painted animals in the caves in Northern Spain. (由奥胡斯大学的伊兹·威舍博士（Dr. Izzy Wisher）领导的研究团队对洞穴艺术家可能经历过空想性错视这一理论进行了测试。空想性错视是一种心理现象，即人们在随机图案中看到有意义的形状，比如在云朵中看到人脸。他们调查了空想性错视是否可能影响了在西班牙北部洞穴中绘制动物的艺术家。)”可知，研究重点是探讨冰河时代洞穴艺术可能受到的影响，故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The research found that 71 percent of images studied in the caves showed a strong relationship to the natural features of the cave wall, suggesting pareidolia may have been a partial influence on the artists. (研究发现，在洞穴中研究的图像中，有71%的图像与洞壁的自然特征密切相关，这表明空想性错视可能对艺术家产生了部分影响。)”可知，空想性错视可能对洞穴艺术家产生了影响，从而促进了艺术创作。故选A项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“The research also found the majority of the images lacked additional details such as eyes or hair, which correlates with the simplistic nature of imagery influenced by pareidolia. (研究还发现，大多数图像缺乏额外的细节，例如眼睛或头发，这与受空想性错视影响的图像的简单性质……。)”可知，大多数图像缺乏眼睛或毛发等额外细节，与受空想性错视影响的图像的简单性质相符合。correlates with在句中意为“与…… 相符、一致”，故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The team believes their study offers the first systematic testing of this theory, and is the first to use simulated lighting conditions in virtual reality to achieve this. (该团队认为他们的研究首次对这一理论进行了系统测试，并且是第一个使用虚拟现实中的模拟光照条件来实现这一目标的。)”可推断Dr. Wisher认为他们的研究是开创性的，故选A项。 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。 Creativity isn’t something that comes naturally to everyone.

They were driving with the windows down on the 1. 4- mile, two- lane Route 90 bridge, which crosses the shallow waters of the Assawoman Bay. Talking and laughing, the Bauers enjoyed their journey as they headed home. “Ava,” Bauer said, “you know what? I’ve gotten my boat stuck here a time or two. The water is too shallow!” He added that it was about the depth of 1. 3 meters. Before Ava was able to ask about more details of her father’s amusing experience, a crash disturbed everything. Not far ahead of them, a black pickup (轻型货车) was sliding from one lane to the other. To the Bauers’ horror, it was out of control, running into a concrete barrier, spinning like a top, and flipping over the SUV directly ahead of them. Eventually, it came to rest hanging over the railing of the bridge. Bauer hit the brakes in time to avoid the vehicles in his path and managed to pull up. “Ava, are you OK? ” he asked. She was shaken, but otherwise unhurt. Suddenly, a desperate scream came from the pickup. Having told Ava to stay where she was, Bauer got out of his car to check on the pickup. The driver’s door flung open and a man climbed out. He dropped to the ground and then pointed down, saying something in Spanish. Bauer ran up beside him and saw a car seat in the water. Next to it was a girl about two years old floating on her back. Thankfully, the girl was near the coast. However, matters quickly went from bad to frightening when the girl rolled over onto her stomach. Bauer waited for the pickup driver to do something, but he didn’t move. Maybe he was in shock. 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。 The girl was terrified, kicking and screaming. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Minutes later, an ambulance arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The girl was terrified, kicking and screaming. Bauer knew too well about the danger of jumping into such shallow water, but he had no alternative. He couldn’t give up the girl. After a deep breath, he climbed onto the railing and took a leap of faith. Fortunately, he didn’t hurt himself. Without hesitation, he made his way to the girl, lifted her out of the water, and carried her onto the coast. Meanwhile, the pickup driver engaged in the rescue and called the emergency services. Minutes later, an ambulance arrived. When the girl was given a medical exam on the spot, Bauer breathed a sigh of relief. Despite the fact that she fainted from extreme panic, the girl was not severely injured and came to herself soon. So grateful was the pickup driver that he gave firm handshakes and hugs to Bauer with tears streaming down his face. If it hadn’t been for Bauer, this accident would be a lifelong nightmare to him. It was Bauer’s kindness that made all the difference. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个明媚的春天下午，51岁的乔纳森.鲍尔和他13岁的女儿艾娃正在开车通过桥回家时，突然轮胎的巨响打破了平静。一辆轻型货车撞上了一个混凝土障碍物，一个大约两岁的女孩掉进海里的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由续写第一段首句“女孩吓坏了，又踢又叫。”可以预测续写第一段主要内容：鲍尔跳进海里救小女孩。 ②由第二段首句“几分钟后，救护车来了。”可以预测续写第二段主要内容：小女孩被检查，发现没有大碍，货车司机感谢鲍尔。 2.续写线索：鲍尔跳进海里——救起女孩——货车司机拨打急救电话——救护车到来对女孩检查——女孩身体无大碍——货车司机感谢鲍尔 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.举起：lift/hold up/raise ②.参与：engage in /get involved in/participate in ③.受伤：be injured/get hurt/be wounded 情绪类 ①.惊恐：panic/shock/terror ②.感激的：grateful /thankful /appreciative 【点睛】[高分句型1].
