Park courses look like large pools with ramps where athletes perform tricks during two run while street courses create rails and steps for athletes to complete timed runs and perform great tricks. There will also be a new “scoring refusal” rule. With this rule, skaters can now cancel a trick’s score. This way, competitors can tell the judges to ignore a previous attempt at a trick so they can do a better job and achieve a higher score. New format Do you think sport climbing is just about being faster? Not really. In the Olympics, it includes three disciplines: bouldering(攀石), speed and lead. Speed climbing is the only discipline where faster is better. Lead climbing requires athletes to climb walls over 15 metres high in six minutes, the higher the better. As for bouldering, athletes climb a 4.5-metre-high rock wall in a limited period of time and in the fewest attempts possible. In Tokyo, athletes competed in all three disciplines, with total scores reflecting combined performances. For Paris 2024, there will be two distinct Olympic climbing events. One will be a combined competition of bouldering and lead events, and the second will feature a speed event. New sport Breaking will make its Olympic debut at the Paris Olympic Games. It is a type of street dance that started in New York in the 1970s. It’s part of hip-pop culture and includes tough moves like spins and flips. It will feature 16 males and 16 females born by Dec 31, 2008. They will compete in one-on-one battles to music randomly chosen by a DJ. The participants will be judged on five aspects: musicality, performance, originality, technique and execution. 21. Why is a “scoring refusal” rule introduced in Olympic skateboarding? A. To perform more tricks. B. To change disciplines. C. To encourage better performance. D. To question judges. 22. In which event speed is the only judging standard? A. Bouldering climbing. B. Speed climbing. C. Lead Climbing. D. Park skateboarding. 23. Which of the following is the feature of breaking? A. It’s open to all age groups. B. It’s a traditional Olympic event. C. Athletes compete to specific music. D. It combines music, dance and strength. B There is an embroidered (刺绣的) saying that has hung on the wall in my parents’ house, declaring “I hope my children look back on today and see a parent who had time to play. There will be years for cleaning and cooking, but children grow up when we’re not looking.” The saying made me uneasy as a parent, particularly during the year I turned 38 with my own three daughters, since I could be both aware of the future — when my children will leave- and yet unable to appreciate every single moment. Parents admit that they are not always looking. Yet the mother in the embroidery is fully present with her children. She has left the housework at home and come out here to be with her three children, who are throwing red and gold leaves at her, like the photo my father took for us on a weekend outing. All of us are laughing heartily. My mother said she sewed the embroidery because she embraced the philosophy and spent time playing with her children. Yet I remember my mother driving me to the mall, the movies, the friends’ houses but I struggle to remember her playing with me. I once took my young children to the library story times, to the children’s museum and I dutifully followed them around. However, they recall none of it. All those years I invested in making my children feel loved and none of the memories have stayed with them. Then there are years for cleaning and cooking, and I do not always have time to play. Cleaning and cooking is part of being a parent, part of caretaking, part of how I show love. I remember my mother cleaning and cooking. When I think of all the meals she made for us and our clothes she washed, I know that’s a mother’s love language. I suppose that is why the embroidery exists. The embroidered saying is a mother’s love for her children, which is always looking. 24. Why did the saying on the wall disturb the author? A. Her children were ready to leave her. B. She was reminded of her childhood. C. Her mother wasn’t satisfied with her. D. She wasn’t always with her children. 25. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. Her mother’s false memory. B. The time wasted on the children. C. Her regrets about her life. D. A mother’s unremembered devotion. 26. How does the author view cleaning and cooking as a mother? A. A way to express her love and care for her family. B. Necessary tasks that she wishes she could avoid. C. Burdens that take away from time with her children. D. A source of happy memories from her childhood. 27. Which of the following is the best title of this text? A. She Is Always Looking B. An Inspiring Saying C. We Are Playing Together D. An Unforgettable Outing C For decades, scientists thought of the brain as the most valuable and consequently most closely guarded part of the body. Locked safely behind the blood-brain barrier, it was broadly free of the harm of viruses and the battles started by the immune system (免疫系统). Then, about 20 years ago, some researchers began to wonder: is the brain really so separated from the body? The answer, according to a growing body of evidence, is no. The list of brain conditions that have been associated with changes elsewhere in the body is long and growing. Changes in the makeup of the microorganisms in the digestive system have been linked to disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. There is also a theory that infection during pregnancy could lead to brain diseases in babies. The effect is two-way. There is a lengthening list of symptoms not typically viewed as disorders of the nervous system, but the brain plays a large part in them. For example, the development of a fever is influenced by a population of nerve cells that control body temperature and appetite. Evidence is mounting that cancers use nerves to grow and spread. The interconnection between the brain and body has promising implications for our ability to both understand and treat illnesses. If some brain disorders start outside the brain, then perhaps treatments for them could also reach in from outside. Treatments that take effect through the digestive system, the heart or other organs, would be much easier and less risky than those that must cross the blood-brain barrier. It also works in the opposite direction. Study shows mice have healthier hearts after receiving stimulation to a brain area involved in positive emotion and motivation. Activation of the brain reward centre — called the ventral tegmental area (VTA) — seems to cause immune changes that contribute to it. Working out how this happens could help to destroy cancers, enhance responses to vaccines and even re-evaluate physical diseases that, for centuries, have not been considered as being psychologically driven. 28.What do the researchers focus on about the brain? A．Its protecting system. B．Its exposure to diseases. C．Its controlling function. D．Its connection to the body. 29. How does the author support his idea in paragraph 2? A．By explaining a theory. B．By providing examples. C．By making comparisons. D．By presenting cause and effect. 30. Which best describes treatments that do not cross the blood-brain barrier? A．Cheaper. B．More specific. C．Safer. D．More direct. 31. What does the study suggest in the last paragraph? A．Brain health depends on immune changes. B．Brain stimulation leads to negative emotions. C．The brain can help enhance psychological health. D．The brain may be key to treating physical diseases. D Artificial intelligence models can trick each other into disobeying their creators and providing banned instructions for making drugs, or even building a bomb, suggesting that preventing such AI “jailbreaks” is more difficult than it seems. Many publicly available large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, have hard-coded rules that aim to prevent them from exhibiting racial or sexual discrimination, or answering questions with illegal or problematic answers—things they have learned from humans via training data. But that hasn’t stopped people from finding carefully designed instructions that block these protections, known as “jailbreaks”, making AI models disobey the rules. Now, Arush Tagade at Leap Laboratories and his co-workers have found a process of jailbreaks. They found that they could simply instruct one LLM to convince other models to adopt a persona (角色), which is able to answer questions the base model has been programmed to refuse. This process is called “persona modulation (调节)”. Tagade says this approach works because much of the training data consumed by large models comes from online conversations, and the models learn to act in certain ways in response to different inputs. By having the right conversation with a model, it is possible to make it adopt a particular persona, causing it to act differently. There is also an idea in AI circles, one yet to be proven, that creating lots of rules for an AI to prevent it displaying unwanted behaviour can accidentally create a blueprint for a model to act that way. This potentially leaves the AI easy to be tricked into taking on an evil persona. “If you’re forcing your model to be good persona, it somewhat understands what a bad persona is,” says Tagade. Yinzhen Li at Imperial College London says it is worrying how current models can be misused, but developers need to weigh such risks with the potential benefits of LLMs. “Like drugs, they also have side effects that need to be controlled,” she says. 32. What does the AI jailbreak refer to? A. The technique to break restrictions of AI models. B. The initiative to set hard-coded rules for AI models. C. The capability of AI models improving themselves. D. The process of AI models learning new information. 33. What can we know about the persona modulation? A. It can help AI models understand emotions. B. It prevents AI learning via online conversations. C. It forces AI models to follow only good personas. D. It can make AI models adopt a particular persona. 34. What may the author suggest by saying the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? A. The risks of LLMs cannot be ignored. B. We need to control the side effects of drugs. C. It’s worthwhile to explore LLMs’ potential benefits. D. We should restrict the development of LLMs. 35. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. LLMs: Illegal Learning Models B. LLMs: The Latest Advancement C. AI Jailbreaks: A New Challenge D. AI Jailbreaks: A Perfect Approach 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to give effective feedback（反馈） In the ever-evolving landscape of personal and professional growth, feedback serves as a compass（指南针） guiding our journey towards improvement.________36________ Constructive feedback should follow several principles. 37 It＇s not unusual to tell someone about something that upset or pleased you six months later. It＇s also easy for people to start from the point of view of ＂everything you do is rubbish＂,especially when things are not going well. But don＇t. Think about exact and precise occasions and behavior that are still fresh in both the giver＇s and receiver＇s minds. Lay stress on behavior, not personality. Your feedback should target how they act, what effects it has on you or how it makes you feel. Remember that you are making no comment on what type of person they are, or what they believe or value.38 Focus on improvement rather than criticism. It is expressed in a manner that encourages growth and avoids being negative. To take it a step further, it also provides suggestions for change.39 It involves putting constructive criticism between positive or encouraging comments. For example, when discussing a project with an employee, tart by praising their hard work, then add the areas for improvement, and conclude with encouragement. Offering effective feedback to others is a win-win act.40 Both of you get a slice of personal development. To develop better feedback skills, you need to keep practicing and make it a habit. Anyway, practice makes perfect！ A. Be timely and specific. B. Adopt a tolerant attitude. C. It’s just like sharing a pizza with a friend. D. So giving feedback is like making sandwiches. E. But you can get better at it after reading the principles. F. However, it can be difficult to give feedback effectively. G. This reduces the risk of making the receiver feel attacked. 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,从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A couple weeks ago, I ventured down to Charlotte, NC, to meet Cole Rosenberger, who had a serious passion for protecting forests.

Tucker sat absent-minded in one of the library chairs. Most of the students wanted to hear about the writer’s work. Tucker did not. “Why bother?” Tucker thought to himself. He always received low marks on his writing assignments, no matter how hard he worked on them. He could never think of anything interesting to write about. “Does anyone have any questions?” Mrs Flippen asked her class. Tucker raised his hand, “How do you know what to write about?” “Well, sometimes I don’t,” the author replied. “It takes a lot of hard work to come up with ideas.” She reached down and pulled a worn-looking book from a cloth bag on the floor. “I find making a scrapbook(剪贴簿) helps.” Tucker sat up a little straighter in his seat. “What’s in the book?” he asked. “I fill it with pictures, stories, and notes about things that interest me.” The writer opened the scrapbook on her knee. “When I need an idea, I look through the book instead of staring at a blank page.” Tucker thought about the author’s scrapbook as he walked home. He thought about staring at a blank page each time he tried to write a story. Digging in his bookcase, Tucker found an old binder(活页夹). He filled the binder with notepaper from his desk. After supper, Tucker cut some pictures out of the newspaper. Then he drew some pictures of his own. He cut and pasted stories from his old magazines. Then he looked up the words he did not know and wrote down their meanings. In the days and weeks that followed, Tucker collected more ideas. He found that the more he collected, the easier it became to find things to collect. Tucker’s book of ideas grew fatter and fatter. 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。 One morning, Mrs Flippen told the class about a story writing competition.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then came the day when the headmaster announced the result.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 福州屏东中学2024-2025学年11月适应性练习 高三英语参考答案： 听力 1-5 CCABA 6-10 CCBCA 11-15 BBABC 16-20 ABABC 阅读21-23 CBD 24-27 DDAA 28-31 DBCD 32-3532-35 ADCC 36-40FAGDC 完型41-45 DBCDC，46-50DAABA，51-55 DCCAB 语法填空： 56. protective; 57. are situated; 58. in; 59. has been prohibited; 60. to restore; 61.

All works were made by us students, which were created from waste and used materials. I made a shopping bag from a pair of worn-out jeans, spending countless minutes designing, decorating and perfecting it. My works has received lots of likes. I find it enjoyable and meaningful to make handmade works from recyclables. And I've developed my innovative ability as well. Yours, Li Hua One morning, Mrs Flippen told the class about a story writing competition. Upon hearing the news, a wave of excitement surged through the students as they eagerly discussed ideas of their stories. As for Tucker, mingled with a sense of hesitation was a spark of inspiration, partly due to previous low marks on writing assignments. However, his fatter and fatter book of ideas infused a wave of determination into his heart, igniting/sparkling his passion for writing. In the following days, countless nights saw him flipping through his binder of collected ideas. With the help of it, it didn't take long time before he composed his own creative story. Then came the day when the headmaster announced the result. The entire school gathered in the assembly hall, hearts pounding with anticipation. Nervously, Tucker sat among his classmates, with his fingers crossed and palms sweating. When the headmaster finally announced his own name, never in his wildest dream did Tucker expect that his entry would win. Shock and joy surging through his body, Tucker was invited by the headmaster to share his experience. Striding onto the stage, he said, “Without the local author’s advice, he wouldn’t have won the prize.” It was daily collection and perseverance that transformed him from a boy who doubted his abilities into an enthusiastic writer. 听力原文 TEXT 1 W: What’s on at the movies, John?

TEXT 5 M: Open your mouth wide, Sarah. I’ll have your teeth checked. W: I hate any operation. Can you just give me some medicine for the pain? M: No worries. Nothing serious. Medicine will do. But do keep in mind that too many sugary foods are bad for your teeth. TEXT 6 M: Mom, I’m ringing to tell you I’m at Tim’s house. Football practice finished early, so we walked here together.

I mean, lots of people think nowadays a hero has to be someone like those in films. But I think there are plenty of ordinary people around doing great things. W: Mmm, I guess so. Those people can be heroes too. M: That’s a bit like my granddad, then. He’s done all sorts of things to lend other people a hand. To do this, he even left a large company and gave up a high-paying job. He’s surely my hero. W: He sounds like one of those motivating heroes you find in storybooks. M: Yeah, he is. And a storybook is one place where you do need proper heroes. W: I’m with you there. I have read loads of storybooks which are close to reality and I surely wouldn’t get to the end if they didn’t have heroes. Too boring. M: Great writers can really help you to love reading. I mean, I wasn’t fond of reading until I found my favorite. Still, it’s unusual to find writers that can do that—for me, anyway. W: That’s right. TEXT 10 M: Russian designer Harry Nuriev’s latest sofa is made from a pile of waste bags. He wants it to draw attention to waste things and how we use them. The piece was based on an idea he first explored at a fair in 2019, when he presented a sofa made from old clothes. The project commented on the fashion industry’s waste problem, which is mainly generated by cheap, trend-responsive “fast fashion”. The project also drew a direct line between the waste problem and the furniture industry. It’s estimated that 9 million tons of furniture are thrown away every single year, and over 80% of it ends up in landfill. Add to that the carbon releases caused by producing and shipping it, and the furniture industry looks like another threat to the global climate. With so much waste furniture, brands that make typically “fast” furniture are announcing efforts to change. Some companies commit to using only renewable or recyclable materials to cut carbon release. Katie Treggiden, design expert and author of Wasted: When Trash Becomes Treasure, said that having a long life has been a key selling message among responsible furniture companies for a long time. She added they also need to offer repair and take-back service to give their products a second life. 部分详解： 21. 根据第三段With this rule, skaters can now cancel a trick’s score.

(在我父母家的墙上挂着一句刺绣的谚语，“我希望我的孩子回顾今天，看到一个有时间玩耍的父母。”)”以及文章第二段“The saying made me uneasy as a parent, particularly during the year I turned 38 with my own three daughters, since I could be both aware of the future — when my children will leave- and yet unable to appreciate every single moment.(这句话让身为父母的我感到不安，尤其是在我满38岁、有三个女儿的那一年，因为我既能意识到未来——我的孩子们什么时候会离开——又不能珍惜每一刻)”可知，因为作者能意识到自己的孩子们会离开却又不能珍惜每一刻，即作者并不总是和孩子们在一起。故选D。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Yet I remember my mother driving me to the mall, the movies, the friends’ houses but I struggle to remember her playing with me. I once took my young children to the library storytimes, to the children’s museum and I dutifully followed them around. However, they recall none of it. All those years I invested in making my children feel loved and none of the memories have stayed with them.(我记得妈妈开车带我去购物中心、看电影、朋友家，但我很难记得她和我一起玩。我曾经带着年幼的孩子去图书馆看故事，去儿童博物馆，我尽职尽责地跟着他们。然而，他们什么也记不起来。这么多年来，我一直在努力让我的孩子感受到被爱，但这些记忆没有一个留在他们身边)”可知，母亲的奉献都被孩子们遗忘了。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Cleaning and cooking is part of being a parent, part of caretaking, part of how I show love. I remember my mother cleaning and cooking. When I think of all the meals she made for us and our clothes she washed, I know that’s a mother’s love language. (打扫卫生和做饭是为人父母的一部分，是照顾孩子的一部分，是我表达爱的一部分。我记得我妈妈打扫和做饭。当我想到她为我们做饭，为我们洗衣服时，我知道这是母亲爱的语言)”可知，作者认为清洁和做饭是母亲表达对家庭的爱和关心的一种方式。故选A。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“There is an embroidered (刺绣的) saying that has hung on the wall in my parents’ house, declaring I hope my children look back on today and see a parent who had time to play. (在我父母家的墙上挂着一句刺绣的谚语，“我希望我的孩子回顾今天，看到一个有时间玩耍的父母。”)”和文章最后一段“I suppose that is why the embroidery exists. The embroidered saying is a mother’s love for her children, which is always looking.(我想这就是刺绣存在的原因。绣着的这句话是母亲对孩子的爱，永远在看)”以及全文可知，文章主要讲述了作者对妈妈的爱的领悟，A项：She Is Always Looking(她一直在关注)合乎题意。故选A。 28.根据第一段结尾Then, about 20 years ago, some researchers began to wonder: is the brain really so separated from the body?
