But fall is the best time to begin your love affair with the unique side of Canada! Churchill Churchill, in northern Manitoba, is known as the polar bear capital of the world, with nearly 1,000 bears in the area. Accessible only by plane or train(the line closes for winter in early November), the fall offers the best opportunities to observe them in the wild. And with luck, northern lights may dance across the sky while you’ re there. Jasper From the Atlantic coast in Kejimkujik National Park in Nova Scotia, to the plains of Grasslands National Park in Saskatchewan, and to the rocky mountains in Jasper, Alberta, these are places where the stars shine brightest. Each October, the Dark Sky Festival in Jasper celebrates the beauty of its clear skies with music performances, photography workshops, and related lectures. Carleton Provincial Park From coast to coast, the changing of the leaves each fall gives Canadians a new excuse to get out and enjoy their favourite places set ablaze in a sea of reds and golds. Join the locals and hike one of the four peaks in Carleton Provincial Park, New Brunswick, to stand above 10 million maple trees painted in warm colours and feel completely alone in enjoying their beauty. Prince Edward Island Prince Edward Island bills itself as “Canada’s Food Island”, and it certainly has all the right ingredients: an abundance of fresh seafood pulled from its shores, and varied produce harvested from the rich red soil. The five-week long Flavours Festival that runs through September to early October each year is a massive foodie celebration. 21. Where is the Dark Sky Festival held? A. In Alberta. B. In Nova Scotia. C. In Manitoba. D. In Saskatchewan. 22. What is recommended for visitors to see in Carleton Provincial Park? A. Polar bears. B. Dark skies. C. Maple trees. D. Northern lights. 23. When does the Flavours Festival end? A. In September. B. In early October. C. In early November. D. In December. B In any normal week, the launch of Europa Clipper on October 14 would be in the headlines all over the world. But it was shadowed by the successful test flight the previous day of the Starship developed by SpaceX. “SpaceX was founded to revolutionise (颠覆) space technology, with the goal of sending people to live on other planets,” says Elon Musk, SpaceX’s CEO. “In 2026, SpaceX will send five unmanned Starships to Mars. Crews will follow perhaps four years later. I hope hundreds of Starships and tens of thousands of people will be sent to Mars every year in the near future.” Mr Musk is extremely inaccurate when it comes to predicting when his companies will achieve his goals. Starship was meant to have been flying years ago. Fully self-driving (FSD) cars from Tesla, a car company which he runs, have often been postponed, too. And whenever the crewed missions start, potential settlers can expect a hard and possibly horrible time. Though Mars looks a bit like the American West, it is a place without liquid water and breathable air, let alone materials to be used for shelter or food. Efforts to set up new societies have failed even in much more suitable places on Earth. But Starships will open up the possibility of other previously impossible enterprises (项目). They will allow SpaceX to increase the capacity of its Starlink satellite-communications system beyond anything previously possible. Other companies may use Starship to launch space stations. One contract for a commercial Starship trip around the Moon has been canceled, but there will surely be others. Astronomers can dream of much bigger space telescopes now. Generals are already thinking dark thoughts about what might be dropped on whom, and how hard. Competitors in the world will try to surpass what SpaceX has done. In short, after Starship’s successful test flight, normal weeks in space may soon look very different. 24. Why is Europa Clipper mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To compare its design with another spaceship. B. To stress the significance of SpaceX’s test flight. C. To tell its competing relationship with SpaceX. D. To complain about the media’s unfair coverage. 25. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. Elon Musk’s ambition. B. SpaceX’s new test schedules. C. The significance of the test. D. The potentials of space technology. 26. Which statement will the author probably agree with? A. Tesla should focus on its FSD cars. B. Elon Musk is a very bad CEO. C. SpaceX should try to meet its goal. D. It is unlikely to settle on Mars. 27. What does the author imply in paragraph 4? A. Starships will become outdated soon. B. Policies should be made to prevent misuses. C. The test flight will have a big impact on the world. D. Space technology should be used to benefit humanity. C After moving to the US from Italy in the 1910s, Caesar Cardini opened a restaurant in Sacramento and later in San Diego. But to escape the 14-year experiment of Prohibition (禁酒令) that started in 1920, he went to Mexico and started his business in the border city Tijuana in 1927, where a lot of Americans went to the bars for drinks and meals throughout the 1920s and 1930s. According to Caesar’s daughter, Rosa, her father invented the famous dish, Caesar’ s Salad, on 4 July 1924 when the restaurant was doing such good business on American Independence Day that it was running short of supplies in the kitchen. So her father threw together what was left and the odd mixture turned out to be an immediate hit. Despite the salad’s name and Rosa Cardini’s famous story, it’s still unclear who actually invented the dish. In her book, The Essential Cuisines of Mexico, Mexican food authority Diana Kennedy suggests the salad was actually created by Caesar’s brother, Alex. According to Kennedy, Alex started working in the restaurant business at age 10 in Italy, before becoming a pilot in WWI and then moving to Tijuana in 1926 to open his own restaurant. “First called Aviator’s Salad, it was improved by Caesar and then became well-known. So I shall call it as it should be called: Alex-Caesar Cardini Salad,” Kennedy wrote. One of Caesar’s business partners, Paul Maggiora, also claimed that he was the first to make the salad. Still another version of the story credits a young employee at Caesar’s: Livio Santini. Also from Italy, Santini moved to Tijuana in 1924, landed a job cooking for Cardini and made the salad according to his mother’s recipe. We may never know the real story of whether Caesar, Alex, Livi o or Paul created the dish, but one thing is for certain: It’s a cross-cultural food — truly a mixed salad — and a dish worth crossing borders for. 28. When was Prohibition cancelled? A. In the 1910s. B. In the 1920s. C. In the 1930s. D. In the 1940s. 29. What did Rosa Cardini say about Caesar’s Salad? A. It was invented by joint efforts. B. It is a typical American dish. C. It is made from select materials. D. It was created with leftovers. 30. What is Diana Kennedy’s conclusion in her book? A. Caesar’s Salad is a cross-cultural food. B. Rosa Cardini’s father improved the salad. C. Caesar’s Salad is based on a stolen recipe. D. The salad should be called Aviator’s Salad. 31. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To study the origin of a dish. B. To advertise a Mexican restaurant. C. To introduce a new tasty salad. D. To show the food diversity in the US. D The Nobel prizes have always, in their way, honoured human intelligence. This year, for the first time, the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) has been recognised as well. That recognition began on October 8, 2024 when the physics prize was awarded to John Hopfield of Princeton University and Geoffrey Hinton of the University of Toronto for computer-science breakthroughs that are vital to the development of today’s most powerful AI models. Hinton and Hopfield did their crucial work in the early 1980s. Hopfield was responsible for what has become known as the Hopfield network—a type of artificial neural network that was loosely modeled on the way the networks of nerve cells or neurons are believed to work in human brains. Hinton’s contribution was to use an algorithm (算法) known as backpropagation to train neural networks. It is the activities of these two researchers that have made machine learning really sing. AI models can now not only learn, but create. Such tools have thus gone from being able to perform highly specific tasks, such as analyzing mountains of data, to writing essays for lazy students. The next day, the developers of two powerful AI models also received a call from the Nobel Prize committee. David Baker, a biochemist at the University of Washington, received one half of the chemistry prize for his computer-aided work designing new proteins. Using a computer program he had named Rosetta, Baker succeeded in designing a completely new protein in 2003. The program, now called Rosetta Commons, has become a software package used by protein chemists around the world. The prize’s other half went to Demis Hassabis and John Jumper from Google’ s DeepMind for their development of AlphaFold, a program capable of predicting 3D protein structure, a long-time challenge in biochemistry. Though many wonder if it is too soon for AlphaFold to be recognised, it has already had real impact: About 2 million scientists have already used it in their research. AlphaFold 3, released in May, goes beyond proteins to predict the structure of a host of other biomolecules, such as DNA. 32. What can be learned about the Hopfield network? A. It is a group of real nerve cells. B. It offers a way to train neural networks. C. It is one of the latest AI models. D. It provides a foundation for AI models. 33. What is David Baker’s contribution? A. He used AI to help create new proteins. B. He developed many powerful AI models. C. He found a new way to build neural networks. D. He upgraded Rosetta to predict DNA structures. 34. What is the author’s attitude to the prize for AlphaFold? A. Critical. B. Skeptical. C. Supportive. D. Unclear. 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Why Is the Physics Prize Awarded to AI? B. AI Wins Big at the Nobel Prizes This Year! C. New AI Models Have Received Recognition! D. Is It Too Soon for AI to Win the Nobel Prizes? 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。 If you’ve been planning to plant a tree, fall is a great time.

Since he was so tall and strong, few of his victims dared to fight back. Mike, one of the victims, hated the idea that Frank could always avoid punishment for his wrongdoing. Yet like most kids, he just took it quietly, almost every day. This morning, Mike saw the trouble coming again. There standing in the hallway was Frank. So he stepped aside for the unpleasant guy to pass. Frank walked up and looked at the books in Mike’s arms. “Hey, let me see those books!” Frank said. Frank picked a book, looked inside for a second and then threw it back into Mike’s arms, knocking all the other books to the floor. With his cheeks turning red, Mike tried to kick the fallen books after Frank was out of sight. “You need to find a way to end this,” a friendly voice said. It was from Ramon, the most athletic boy in the high school. Mike couldn’t believe that Ramon was stopping to help him since they barely spoke. “Thanks!” Mike sighed. “But how?” “Whenever I had a problem with someone, my mother would say, ‘You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar (醋),’” Ramon said. “What does that mean?” Mike asked. “It means kindness may be more effective than anger” Ramon explained. “Can you just tell Frank to stop picking on me?” Mike suggested. “That’s vinegar,” Ramon laughed as he walked away. “Try honey, instead.” Ramon’s words left Mike thinking. Then the unexpected thing happened. Frank returned with a basketball in his arms. Mike didn’t know what Frank intended to, but he felt sure he was about to make fun of him again. Just as he was thinking how he should respond, he heard a loud “bang” — Frank slipped and fell down. The classmates burst into laughter, and someone even whispered, “Thank God!” 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。 Seeing Frank’s awkward situation, Mike was ready to join in the laughter. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Frank said “Thanks!” in a very low voice before he walked away. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 萍乡市2024-2025学年度第一学期期中考试 高三英语 考生注意： 1. 本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2. 答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3. 考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4. 本卷命题范围：高考范围。 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。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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Which film does the woman want to see?

What did Harry Nuriev’s first project aim to do in 2019? A. Seek financial support. B. Promote his new products. C. Criticize the fast fashion industry. 19. How much furniture is thrown away each year? A. About 7.2 million tons. B. About 9 million tons. C. About 16.2 million tons. 20. What did Katie Treggiden suggest furniture companies do? A. Reduce the costs. B. Use safer materials. C. Lengthen products’ life cycle. 【答案】17. B 18. C 19. B 20. C 【解析】 【原文】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. 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 With barely-populated places, long coastlines and incredible mountains, Canada offers visitors a wide range of experiences all year round. But fall is the best time to begin your love affair with the unique side of Canada! Churchill Churchill, in northern Manitoba, is known as the polar bear capital of the world, with nearly 1,000 bears in the area. Accessible only by plane or train(the line closes for winter in early November), the fall offers the best opportunities to observe them in the wild. And with luck, northern lights may dance across the sky while you’ re there. Jasper From the Atlantic coast in Kejimkujik National Park in Nova Scotia, to the plains of Grasslands National Park in Saskatchewan, and to the rocky mountains in Jasper, Alberta, these are places where the stars shine brightest. Each October, the Dark Sky Festival in Jasper celebrates the beauty of its clear skies with music performances, photography workshops, and related lectures. Carleton Provincial Park From coast to coast, the changing of the leaves each fall gives Canadians a new excuse to get out and enjoy their favourite places set ablaze in a sea of reds and golds. Join the locals and hike one of the four peaks in Carleton Provincial Park, New Brunswick, to stand above 10 million maple trees painted in warm colours and feel completely alone in enjoying their beauty. Prince Edward Island Prince Edward Island bills itself as “Canada’s Food Island”, and it certainly has all the right ingredients: an abundance of fresh seafood pulled from its shores, and varied produce harvested from the rich red soil. The five-week long Flavours Festival that runs through September to early October each year is a massive foodie celebration. 21. Where is the Dark Sky Festival held? A. In Alberta. B. In Nova Scotia. C. In Manitoba. D. In Saskatchewan. 22. What is recommended for visitors to see in Carleton Provincial Park? A. Polar bears. B. Dark skies. C. Maple trees. D. Northern lights. 23. When does the Flavours Festival end? A. In September. B. In early October. C. In early November. D. In December. 【答案】21. A 22. C 23. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了加拿大的几处秋景。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Jasper部分“From the Atlantic coast in Kejimkujik National Park in Nova Scotia, to the plains of Grasslands National Park in Saskatchewan, and to the rocky mountains in Jasper, Alberta, these are places where the stars shine brightest. Each October, the Dark Sky Festival in Jasper celebrates the beauty of its clear skies with music performances, photography workshops, and related lectures.(从Kejimkujik国家公园的大西洋海岸，到Saskatchewan省Grasslands National Park的平原，再到Jasper Alberta的落基山脉，这些都是星星闪耀最明亮的地方。每年十月，在Jasper的Dark Sky Festival庆祝美丽晴朗的天空与音乐表演，摄影工作坊，和相关的讲座。)”可知，Alberta是Dark Sky Festival的举办地。故选A项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Carleton Provincial Park部分“Join the locals and hike one of the four peaks in Carleton Provincial Park, New Brunswick, to stand above 10 million maple trees painted in warm colours and feel completely alone in enjoying their beauty.(加入当地人的行列，在Carleton Provincial Park的四座山峰之一徒步旅行，站在1000万棵漆成暖色调的枫树之上，独自享受它们的美丽。)”可知，该公园以枫叶著称。故选C项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Prince Edward Island部分“The five-week long Flavours Festival that runs through September to early October each year is a massive foodie celebration.(每年9月至10月初持续5周的美食节是一场盛大的美食庆典。)”可知美食节在10月初结束。故选B项。 B In any normal week, the launch of Europa Clipper on October 14 would be in the headlines all over the world. But it was shadowed by the successful test flight the previous day of the Starship developed by SpaceX. “SpaceX was founded to revolutionise (颠覆) space technology, with the goal of sending people to live on other planets,” says Elon Musk, SpaceX’s CEO. “In 2026, SpaceX will send five unmanned Starships to Mars. Crews will follow perhaps four years later. I hope hundreds of Starships and tens of thousands of people will be sent to Mars every year in the near future.” Mr Musk is extremely inaccurate when it comes to predicting when his companies will achieve his goals. Starship was meant to have been flying years ago. Fully self-driving (FSD) cars from Tesla, a car company which he runs, have often been postponed, too. And whenever the crewed missions start, potential settlers can expect a hard and possibly horrible time. Though Mars looks a bit like the American West, it is a place without liquid water and breathable air, let alone materials to be used for shelter or food. Efforts to set up new societies have failed even in much more suitable places on Earth. But Starships will open up the possibility of other previously impossible enterprises (项目). They will allow SpaceX to increase the capacity of its Starlink satellite-communications system beyond anything previously possible. Other companies may use Starship to launch space stations. One contract for a commercial Starship trip around the Moon has been canceled, but there will surely be others. Astronomers can dream of much bigger space telescopes now. Generals are already thinking dark thoughts about what might be dropped on whom, and how hard. Competitors in the world will try to surpass what SpaceX has done. In short, after Starship’s successful test flight, normal weeks in space may soon look very different. 24. Why is Europa Clipper mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To compare its design with another spaceship. B. To stress the significance of SpaceX’s test flight. C. To tell its competing relationship with SpaceX. D. To complain about the media’s unfair coverage. 25. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. Elon Musk’s ambition. B. SpaceX’s new test schedules. C. The significance of the test. D. The potentials of space technology. 26. Which statement will the author probably agree with? A. Tesla should focus on its FSD cars. B. Elon Musk is a very bad CEO. C. SpaceX should try to meet its goal. D. It is unlikely to settle on Mars. 27. What does the author imply in paragraph 4? A. Starships will become outdated soon. B. Policies should be made to prevent misuses. C. The test flight will have a big impact on the world. D. Space technology should be used to benefit humanity. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了Starship成功试飞及其影响。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In any normal week, the launch of Europa Clipper on October 14 would be in the headlines all over the world. But it was shadowed by the successful test flight the previous day of the Starship developed by SpaceX.( 在任何正常的一周里，10月14日欧罗巴快船的发射都会成为全世界的头条新闻。但是它前一天被SpaceX公司开发的星舰成功试飞所掩盖)”可知，作者提到 Europa Clipper的目的是为了强调SpaceX试飞的重要性。故选B项。 【25题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段““SpaceX was founded to revolutionise(颠覆) space technology, with the goal of sending people to live on other planets,” says Elon Musk, SpaceX’s CEO. “In 2026, SpaceX will send five unmanned Starships to Mars. Crews will follow perhaps four years later. I hope hundreds of Starships and tens of thousands of people will be sent to Mars every year in the near future.( SpaceX的首席执行官埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）表示：“SpaceX的成立是为了彻底改变太空技术，目标是将人类送到其他星球上生活。”2026年，SpaceX将向火星发射5艘无人飞船。机组人员可能会在四年后跟进。我希望在不久的将来，每年都有数百艘星际飞船和数万人被送往火星)”可知，这一段主要是介绍 Elon Musk 雄心勃勃的火星计划。故选A项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Though Mars looks a bit like the American West, it is a place without liquid water and breathable air, let alone materials to be used for shelter or food. Efforts to set up new societies have failed even in much more suitable places on Earth.(虽然火星看起来有点像美国西部，但它是一个没有液态水和可呼吸空气的地方，更不用说用于住所或食物的材料了。即使在地球上更适合的地方，建立新社会的努力也失败了)”可推断，作者认为火星移民是不太现实的。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“But Starships will open up the possibility of other previously impossible enterprises(项目).(但星际飞船将开启其他以前不可能的事业的可能性)”及后面的场景可推断，作者认为 Starships的成功试飞将产生深远的影响。故选C项。 C After moving to the US from Italy in the 1910s, Caesar Cardini opened a restaurant in Sacramento and later in San Diego. But to escape the 14-year experiment of Prohibition (禁酒令) that started in 1920, he went to Mexico and started his business in the border city Tijuana in 1927, where a lot of Americans went to the bars for drinks and meals throughout the 1920s and 1930s. According to Caesar’s daughter, Rosa, her father invented the famous dish, Caesar’ s Salad, on 4 July 1924 when the restaurant was doing such good business on American Independence Day that it was running short of supplies in the kitchen. So her father threw together what was left and the odd mixture turned out to be an immediate hit. Despite the salad’s name and Rosa Cardini’s famous story, it’s still unclear who actually invented the dish. In her book, The Essential Cuisines of Mexico, Mexican food authority Diana Kennedy suggests the salad was actually created by Caesar’s brother, Alex. According to Kennedy, Alex started working in the restaurant business at age 10 in Italy, before becoming a pilot in WWI and then moving to Tijuana in 1926 to open his own restaurant. “First called Aviator’s Salad, it was improved by Caesar and then became well-known. So I shall call it as it should be called: Alex-Caesar Cardini Salad,” Kennedy wrote. One of Caesar’s business partners, Paul Maggiora, also claimed that he was the first to make the salad. Still another version of the story credits a young employee at Caesar’s: Livio Santini. Also from Italy, Santini moved to Tijuana in 1924, landed a job cooking for Cardini and made the salad according to his mother’s recipe. We may never know the real story of whether Caesar, Alex, Livi o or Paul created the dish, but one thing is for certain: It’s a cross-cultural food — truly a mixed salad — and a dish worth crossing borders for. 28. When was Prohibition cancelled? A. In the 1910s. B. In the 1920s. C. In the 1930s. D. In the 1940s. 29. What did Rosa Cardini say about Caesar’s Salad? A. It was invented by joint efforts. B. It is a typical American dish. C. It is made from select materials. D. It was created with leftovers. 30. What is Diana Kennedy’s conclusion in her book? A. Caesar’s Salad is a cross-cultural food. B. Rosa Cardini’s father improved the salad. C. Caesar’s Salad is based on a stolen recipe. D. The salad should be called Aviator’s Salad. 31. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To study the origin of a dish. B. To advertise a Mexican restaurant. C. To introduce a new tasty salad. D. To show the food diversity in the US. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍并探讨了Caesar’s Salad是谁发明的这一问题。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的句子“But to escape the 14-year experiment of Prohibition (禁酒令) that started in 1920, he went to Mexico and started his business in the border city Tijuana in 1927, where a lot of Americans went to the bars for drinks and meals throughout the 1920s and 1930s.(但为了逃避1920年开始的长达14年的禁酒令，他于1927年前往墨西哥，在边境城市蒂华纳开始了自己的生意，在整个20世纪20年代和30年代，很多美国人都去那里的酒吧喝酒和吃饭。)”可知，禁酒令是1920年开始的，持续了14年，所以在1935年左右取消的。故选C项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“According to Caesar’s daughter, Rosa, her father invented the famous dish, Caesar’ s Salad, on 4 July 1924 when the restaurant was doing such good business on American Independence Day that it was running short of supplies in the kitchen. So her father threw together what was left and the odd mixture turned out to be an immediate hit.(据凯撒的女儿罗莎说，她的父亲在1924年7月4日发明了这道著名的菜——Caesar’s Salad，当时这家餐馆在美国独立日那天生意很好，以至于厨房里的食物都短缺了。于是，她的父亲把剩下的东西揉在一起，这个奇怪的混合物立刻受到了欢迎。)”可知，罗莎说Caesar’s Salad是用剩菜做成的。故选D项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“In her book, The Essential Cuisines of Mexico, Mexican food authority Diana Kennedy suggests the salad was actually created by Caesar’s brother, Alex. According to Kennedy, Alex started working in the restaurant business at age 10 in Italy, before becoming a pilot in WWI and then moving to Tijuana in 1926 to open his own restaurant. “First called Aviator’s Salad, it was improved by Caesar and then became well-known. So I shall call it as it should be called: Alex-Caesar Cardini Salad,” Kennedy wrote.(墨西哥食品权威人士戴安娜·肯尼迪在她的书《墨西哥的基本美食》中指出，这种沙拉实际上是凯撒的兄弟亚历克斯发明的。据肯尼迪说，亚历克斯10岁时在意大利开始从事餐饮业，后来在第一次世界大战中成为一名飞行员，然后在1926年搬到提华纳开了自己的餐馆。这道菜最初被称为“飞行员沙拉”，经过恺撒的改良，后来变得家喻户晓。所以我应该把它叫做：亚历克斯-凯撒卡迪尼沙拉，”肯尼迪写道。)”可知，戴安娜·肯尼迪在她书中的结论是罗莎·卡迪尼的父亲改良了沙拉。故选B项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，根据最后一段“We may never know the real story of whether Caesar, Alex, Livi o or Paul created the dish, but one thing is for certain: It’s a cross-cultural food — truly a mixed salad — and a dish worth crossing borders for.(我们可能永远不会知道到底是凯撒、亚历克斯、利维奥还是保罗创造了这道菜，但有一件事是肯定的：这是一种跨文化的食物——真正的混合沙拉——值得跨越国界。)”可知，作者主要介绍并探讨Caesar’s Salad是谁发明的，也就是它的起源。故选A项。 D The Nobel prizes have always, in their way, honoured human intelligence. This year, for the first time, the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) has been recognised as well. That recognition began on October 8, 2024 when the physics prize was awarded to John Hopfield of Princeton University and Geoffrey Hinton of the University of Toronto for computer-science breakthroughs that are vital to the development of today’s most powerful AI models. Hinton and Hopfield did their crucial work in the early 1980s. Hopfield was responsible for what has become known as the Hopfield network—a type of artificial neural network that was loosely modeled on the way the networks of nerve cells or neurons are believed to work in human brains. Hinton’s contribution was to use an algorithm (算法) known as backpropagation to train neural networks. It is the activities of these two researchers that have made machine learning really sing. AI models can now not only learn, but create. Such tools have thus gone from being able to perform highly specific tasks, such as analyzing mountains of data, to writing essays for lazy students. The next day, the developers of two powerful AI models also received a call from the Nobel Prize committee. David Baker, a biochemist at the University of Washington, received one half of the chemistry prize for his computer-aided work designing new proteins. Using a computer program he had named Rosetta, Baker succeeded in designing a completely new protein in 2003. The program, now called Rosetta Commons, has become a software package used by protein chemists around the world. The prize’s other half went to Demis Hassabis and John Jumper from Google’ s DeepMind for their development of AlphaFold, a program capable of predicting 3D protein structure, a long-time challenge in biochemistry. Though many wonder if it is too soon for AlphaFold to be recognised, it has already had real impact: About 2 million scientists have already used it in their research. AlphaFold 3, released in May, goes beyond proteins to predict the structure of a host of other biomolecules, such as DNA. 32. What can be learned about the Hopfield network? A. It is a group of real nerve cells. B. It offers a way to train neural networks. C. It is one of the latest AI models. D. It provides a foundation for AI models. 33. What is David Baker’s contribution? A. He used AI to help create new proteins. B. He developed many powerful AI models. C. He found a new way to build neural networks. D. He upgraded Rosetta to predict DNA structures. 34. What is the author’s attitude to the prize for AlphaFold? A. Critical. B. Skeptical. C. Supportive. D. Unclear. 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Why Is the Physics Prize Awarded to AI? B. AI Wins Big at the Nobel Prizes This Year! C. New AI Models Have Received Recognition! D. Is It Too Soon for AI to Win the Nobel Prizes? 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲的是人工智能在2024年的诺贝尔奖上大获全胜的情况。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“That recognition began on October 8, 2024 when the physics prize was awarded to John Hopfield of Princeton University and Geoffrey Hinton of the University of Toronto for computer-science breakthroughs that are vital to the development of today’s most powerful AI models.(这种认识始于2024年10月8日，普林斯顿大学的约翰·霍普菲尔德(John Hopfield)和多伦多大学的杰弗里·辛顿(Geoffrey Hinton)获得了物理学奖，以表彰他们在计算机科学方面的突破，这些突破对当今最强大的人工智能模型的发展至关重要。)”可知Hopfield network为AI模型的发展提供了基础。故选D项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“David Baker, a biochemist at the University of Washington, received one half of the chemistry prize for his computer-aided work designing new proteins. (华盛顿大学的生物化学家David Baker因在计算机辅助下设计新蛋白质的工作获得了化学奖的一半。)”可知David Bake利用人工智能的帮助创造新的蛋白质。故选A项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“a program capable of predicting 3D protein structure, a long-time challenge in biochemistry.Though many wonder if it is too soon for AlphaFold to be recognised, it has already had real impact: About 2 million scientists have already used it in their research. (一个能够预测三维蛋白质结构的程序，这是生物化学领域的一个长期挑战。尽管许多人怀疑AlphaFold被认可是否为时过早，但它已经产生了真正的影响：大约200万科学家已经在他们的研究中使用了它。)”可知，作者认为AlphaFold获得诺奖是实至名归，由此可以推测作者对AlphaFold获奖的态度是支持的。故选C项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段“This year, for the first time, the potential of artificial intelligence(AI)has been recognised as well.(今年，人工智能的潜力也首次得到了认可。)”提出话题——人工智能在2024年的诺贝尔奖上大获全胜，文章第二、三、四段集中介绍了Hinton and Hopfield的研究情况，第五段介绍了Hinton and Hopfield以及生物化学家David Baker的获奖情况，最后一段介绍了Demis Hassabis and John Jumper 的获奖情况，纵观全文可知，文章主要在围绕着AI在2024年诺贝尔奖中不但实现了零的突破，而且所占的比重很大来展开，所以B项“AI Wins Big at the Nobel Prizes This Year!(人工智能在今年的诺贝尔奖上大获全胜！)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选B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。 If you’ve been planning to plant a tree, fall is a great time. The season’s cooling temperatures and still-warm soil mean less stress on the newly planted tree. ____36____. First of all, choose the right tree. Yes, this means selecting a tree that will make you happy. It also means taking soil type, sunlight exposure and natural moisture levels into consideration. ____37____. Otherwise, it will damage overhead electrical wires or other overhangs. When digging a hole, make it twice as wide as the tree’s root ball and exactly as deep. Then remove the tree from its container and place it in the center of the hole. Be sure that it should land level with the ground around it and all the roots are covered with soil. ____38____. If it’s too low, add more soil to the bottom of the hole and check again. Finally backfill the hole with soil, periodically pressing it down to get rid of air pockets. Never mound soil up against the trunk. Thoroughly make the soil slightly wet with a slow flow of water. Allow the surface to dry for a day or so, then add 2 inches of dried grasses or wood chips over the soil, extending at least as far as the branches extend overhead. Push those materials 4 inches away from the trunk. ____39____. They slowly kill the tree. ____40____. It is important to do so during hot and dry time. Familiarize yourself with the species’ requirements. Some tree types will need watering throughout their lives, but others will not. A. Confirm the tree is straight B. The tree’s mature size is important, too C. Water your new tree regularly during the first few months D. Never mound soil, grasses or wood chips up against the trunk E. They allows them to direct less energy into growing strong roots F. Since planting a tree is a long-term investment, it’s important to do it right G. If the top of the root ball is too high above the ground, remove the tree and dig the hole deeper 【答案】36. F 37. B 38. G 39. D 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了植树时应该注意的问题。 【36题详解】 根据上文“If you’ve been planning to plant a tree, fall is a great time. The season’s cooling temperatures and still-warm soil mean less stress on the newly planted tree.(如果你一直计划种树，秋天是个好时机。这个季节凉爽的气温和温暖的土壤意味着新种植的树木承受的压力较小)”可知，空前谈到了秋天植树的好处，下文则是需要注意的问题，故F项“因为植树需要长期投入，因此不能犯错”正好起到了承前启后的作用。故选F。 【37题详解】 根据上文“First of all, choose the right tree. Yes, this means selecting a tree that will make you happy. It also means taking soil type, sunlight exposure and natural moisture levels into consideration.(首先，选择正确的树。是的，这意味着选择一棵让你快乐的树。这也意味着要考虑土壤类型、阳光照射和自然湿度)”可知，此处谈到的两个需要注意的问题及空后“Otherwise, it will damage overhead electrical wires or other overhangs.(否则会损坏架空电线或其他悬垂物)”可知，植树时还需要考虑到树长大后的高度，故B项“树的成熟尺寸也很重要”符合语境。故选B。 【38题详解】 根据上文“When digging a hole, make it twice as wide as the tree’s root ball and exactly as deep. Then remove the tree from its container and place it in the center of the hole. Be sure that it should land level with the ground around it and all the roots are covered with soil.(挖洞时，要使它的宽度是树根球的两倍，深度也是树根球的两倍。然后将树从容器中取出，放在洞的中心。确保它与周围的地面保持水平，所有的根都被土壤覆盖)”可知，空前谈到树根要和周围的地面平行，如果坑太浅了就需要加深。反之，如果坑太深了就得先填土，故G项“如果根球的顶部离地面太高，就把树移走，再把洞挖深一点”符合。故选G。 【39题详解】 根据空前“Push those materials 4 inches away from the trunk.(把这些东西推到离树干4英寸远地方)”及空后“They slowly kill the tree.(它们会慢慢杀死树木)”可知，本句是在说明导致树木死亡的物体。故D项“不要把土、草及木屑堆靠树干”符合语境。故选D。 【40题详解】 根据后文“It is important to do so during hot and dry time. Familiarize yourself with the species’ requirements. Some tree types will need watering throughout their lives, but others will not.(在炎热干燥的时候这样做是很重要的。熟悉这个物种的要求。有些树一生都需要浇水，而有些树则不需要)”可知，本段主要是谈如何浇水的问题，故C项“在最初的几个月里，定期给新树浇水”符合语境。故选C。 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。 When Hurricane Milton hit the neighborhood and their home was flooded, Kat and her husband ____41____ a late-night text message to their neighbors two doors down: “Hey, we’re coming, again.” Taking their 8-year-old daughter with them, the ____42____ struggled through the flooded street to the shelter built by Kara and her husband on ____43____ ground. The two families ____44____ years earlier when their children became playmates. So when hurricanes Helene and Milton ____45____ the neighborhood within two weeks of each other, they helped each other as one big family. Kat, a teacher, ____46____ the children during the extended period without school. Kara and her husband ____47____ their vehicles when their garage were flooded. So they drove Kat’s car whenever they had to go out. “Since that night Hurricane Helene hit, we have been ____48____ our children and cleaning out our ____49____ homes in turns,” Kat said. “Working as a group has made life seem far less _____50_____.” Kat also found _____51_____ and laughter from Kara’s advice about recovery: “How do you eat an elephant?

Mike, one of the victims, hated the idea that Frank could always avoid punishment for his wrongdoing. Yet like most kids, he just took it quietly, almost every day. This morning, Mike saw the trouble coming again. There standing in the hallway was Frank. So he stepped aside for the unpleasant guy to pass. Frank walked up and looked at the books in Mike’s arms. “Hey, let me see those books!” Frank said. Frank picked a book, looked inside for a second and then threw it back into Mike’s arms, knocking all the other books to the floor. With his cheeks turning red, Mike tried to kick the fallen books after Frank was out of sight. “You need to find a way to end this,” a friendly voice said. It was from Ramon, the most athletic boy in the high school. Mike couldn’t believe that Ramon was stopping to help him since they barely spoke. “Thanks!” Mike sighed. “But how?” “Whenever I had a problem with someone, my mother would say, ‘You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar (醋),’” Ramon said. “What does that mean?” Mike asked. “It means kindness may be more effective than anger,” Ramon explained. “Can you just tell Frank to stop picking on me?” Mike suggested. “That’s vinegar,” Ramon laughed as he walked away. “Try honey, instead.” Ramon’s words left Mike thinking Then the unexpected thing happened. Frank returned with a basketball in his arms. Mike didn’t know what Frank intended to, but he felt sure he was about to make fun of him again. Just as he was thinking how he should respond, he heard a loud “bang” — Frank slipped and fell down. The classmates burst into laughter, and someone even whispered, “Thank God!” 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。 Seeing Frank’s awkward situation, Mike was ready to join in the laughter. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Frank said “Thanks!” in a very low voice before he walked away. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Seeing Frank’s awkward situation, Mike was ready to join in the laughter. But at that moment, he remembered Ramon’s words, “You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.” So, he made a decision that surprised everyone. Mike ran after Frank’s basketball. When he handed it back to Frank, he saw the shock in Frank’s eyes. His classmates also instantly quieted down, stopping their laughter at Frank. A former victim even joined Mike to help Frank. Frank said “Thanks!” in a very low voice before he walked away. Since then, Frank didn’t pick on Mike as he had done before. Nor did he make fun of the other classmates. Although Frank did not apologize for his previous behavior, Mike knew that Ramon was right. On occasions, kindness is indeed much more effective than anger. Sometimes, we do need to use honey to deal with “flies” like Frank. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Mike通过Ramone的建议学会用善意来回应欺凌者Frank的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“看到Frank那尴尬的情景，Mike本已准备好加入到嘲笑的人群中去。”可知，第一段可描写Mike原本准备嘲笑Frank摔倒的尴尬情况，但突然想起Ramon的话，决定用善意的方式对待Frank。描述Mike如何采取行动帮助Frank，以及这一行为对周围环境的影响。 ②由第二段首句内容“Frank在走开前用很低的声音说了声“谢谢”。”可知，第二段可描写Frank接受Mike的帮助后产生的变化，包括他对Mike和其他同学的态度转变。强调Mike的行为如何影响了Frank，以及这个故事给读者带来的启示。 2.续写线索：Mike遭遇欺凌——Ramon给出建议——Mike决定尝试——Mike帮助Frank——Frank态度转变——故事寓意与反思。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①取笑：make fun of/laugh at ②因……而道歉：apologize for/say sorry for ③处理，应对：deal with/cope with/handle 情绪类 ①震惊：shock/astonishment ②愤怒：anger/rage 【点睛】【高分句型1】So, he made a decision that surprised everyone.(运用了that引导的定语从句) 【高分句型2】Although Frank did not apologize for his previous behavior, Mike knew that Ramon was right.(运用了although引导的让步状语从句和that引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
