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 努 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 学 find a job online. Though an act of kindness toward anyone can seem like no big deal to me and cost me 游 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. 幅 C.His childhood experience of doing good with George. D.His past experience of giving money to the homeless. 醉 25.How does the author develop paragraph 3? A.By giving reasons. B.By giving examples. 閣 C.By making suggestions.

A.Give to Get Paid B.Try to Make My Day C.A Big Deal with the Honest D.The Power of Kindness C A new study from a German research group says climate change will reduce everyone's income (A)by about 19 percent over the next 25 years.That would be about $38 trillion 【高一英语第4页（共10页]】 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 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 鼠 temperature last year was a record.That number was 1.35'C above the average during pre- industrial times,before modern technology. 地 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 螂 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 长 from warming. Experts note that the world's poorest countries are also the least prepared to adapt to 区 climate change.Those countries are least responsible for the change,but they will agonize 60 percent more income loss than wealthy nations. 都 28.What does the new study mainly show? A.The causes of climate change. 杯 B.The process of climate change. C.The economic losses caused by climate change. 游 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.Suffer. B.Research. C.Avoid. D.Reduce. 0 Inside a recording room at Queen Mary University of London,several researchers are working with new artificial intelligence (Al)tools.Their aim is to develop what they call the 【高一英语第5页（共10页）】 “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 (added to it.The sensors can read his movements to create drum-like sounds that accompany (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 includes a 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 HITar? A.To provide backing music. B.To control the language system. C.To improve the singer's voice qualities. D.To monitor the guitarist's movements. 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. 【高一英语第6页（共10页）】 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 How to Stop Falling Asleep in Class Start Feeling Well-rested Are you having trouble staying awake at school or during an online class?Whether you were up late with friends or cramming for a test,there are lots of easy ways to get more energy and focus throughout the school day.

Max sat on a bench near the back of the nursing home,relaxing after work.The elderly 8 were sleeping when a man,tall and dressed in a sharp black suit,walked in.
