The play was filmed in Dali, showing some main places such as Dali Ancient Town, Shaxi Ancient Town and Xizhou Town. During the Spring Festival holiday, Dali received several million tourists, marking a remarkable increase compared to the previous year. Jiangmen in Guangdong Province Thanks to the success of a hit show, Jiangmen in Guangdong Province became a famous tourism destination last year. As the hometown for many overseas Chinese, the city is well-known for its historical and cultural streets, featuring South Asian architecture and wide varieties of snacks, which attract tourists and TV fans. It recorded more than three million trips, and the trips created several billion yuan of tourism income for the city. Qingdao in Shandong Province One of the most popular films during last year’s Spring Festival was a science fiction film about the Earth. Interestingly, you may not know that 90 percent of the film was actually shot in Qingdao City of East China’s Shandong Province. For science fiction fans or film lovers, visiting Qingdao to explore the filming places has become popular. Taiyuan Ancient County in Shanxi Province A comedy film during last year’s Spring Festival shot in the Taiyuan Ancient County in Shanxi has caused a stir. The film was inspired by a famous poem and general in the Southern Song Dynasty (1127 — 1279). From January 21 to January 31, the county saw a flood of over 400,000 tourists, a great rise compared to about 180,000 visitors during the last Spring Festival holiday. 21. Where is the TV play mentioned in paragraph 1 mainly shot? A. In some ancient towns. B. In some historical counties. C. In southwest China’s cities. D. In south China’s provinces. 22. How is Jiangmen different from the other three destinations? A. It is a popular attraction. B. It was first built by overseas Chinese. C. It received the most tourists this year. D. It is the root of many Chinese living abroad. 23 Which of the following drives the popularity of the last two destinations? A. Poems. B. Films. C. A general. D. An explorer. B As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children. Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification (沙漠化). “Within10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification. Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable (可持续的) crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers (肥料) rather than chemicals. In 2012, Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.” By September2016, more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant l million trees by 2028. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco. 24. How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her? A. They fired her enthusiasm for helping others. B. They helped her better understand her father. C. They made her decide to leave the country. D. They destroyed her dream of being a teacher. 25. What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland? A. Cold weather. B. Soil pollution. C. Low rainfall. D. Forest damage. 26. Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia? A. To create job opportunities for young people. B. To promote the protection of their farmland. C. To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers. D. To help the children obtain a basic education. 27. Which of the following can be the best title to the text? A. Saving Water in Africa B. Fighting Poverty in North Africa C. Holding back the Sahara D. Planting Trees in Tunisia C Trying to imagine fat, white sheep jumping one by one over a fence, is a well-known treatment for sleeplessness. I’ve often wondered just who came up with such a silly suggestion. If the idea is to bore you to sleep, why not count backward? And who decided on sheep? Why not rabbits, horses, frogs or kangaroos? And does it really help you fall asleep? Search online, and you’ll soon find stories about a study on battling insomnia that put the concept to the test. “In reality, that wasn’t the point of the research,” said senior author Allison Harvey, who conducted the research. Their study wasn’t about counting sheep; it was just about using imagery to fight sleeplessness. In her research 50 people were divided into three groups. The first had no instructions on how to fall asleep, while members of the second were told to distract (分心) themselves from thoughts, worries and concerns in any way they wanted. The third group was instructed to perform an interesting and engaging imagery task, such as creating or remembering a waterfall, a holiday or a summer afternoon in the sun. Those who used imagery reported falling asleep much faster than either of the other two groups, and they rated their thoughts, worries and concerns to be less uncomfortable and painful than people in the distraction or no instruction group. As it happened, two of the study participants in the distraction group did count sheep as a way to fall asleep “and somehow people accepted that, I guess because they thought it was fun,” Harvey said. While she didn’t actually study counting sheep as a way of overcoming sleeplessness and isn’t aware of any other studies to do so, Harvey does have an opinion based on her years as a sleep specialist. “Something as ordinary as counting sheep usually does not do the trick,” she said. “As everyone is different and not one option is going to help every single time, we have worked out a menu of options with people.” 28. What does the underlined word “insomnia” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Sleeplessness. B. Illness. C. Distraction. D. Laziness. 29. What can be learned about Allison Harvey’s research? A. Each group consisted of 50 participants. B The distraction group reported the most benefits. C. Its initial aim was to test the effectiveness of imagery. D. Every participant was given some instructions. 30. What does Allison Harvey think of counting sheep for sleep? A. Creative. B. Questionable. C. Practical. D. Traditional. 31. What will the text continue to talk about probably? A. Alternative methods for falling asleep. B. Various strategies to improve people’s health. C. Historical origins of counting sheep for sleep. D. Scientific theories behind counting sheep for sleep. D Since the start of the industrial revolution, there have been threats that new machines — from mechanized looms (织布机) to microchips would take human jobs. A March report from Goldman Sachs estimated that AI capable of content generation could do a quarter of all the work currently done by humans. Across the European Union and the US, the report further notes, 300 million jobs could be lost to automation. Thankfully, it’s not all bad news. The experts issue their warnings with a relief: there are still things AI isn’t capable of — tasks that involve distinctly human qualities, like emotional intelligence and outside-the-box thinking. “I think there are generally three categories that will remain unaffected in the coming future.” says Martin Ford, a related author. “The first would be jobs that are genuinely creative: you’re not engaged in repetitive work or just rearranging things, but you’re genuinely coming up with new ideas and building something new.” That doesn’t necessarily mean all jobs that are considered “creative” are safe. In fact, things like graphic design and visual art-related roles may be among the first to go. Basic algorithms can direct a robot to analyze millions of images, allowing AI to rapidly acquire a sense of beauty. “But there’s some security in other kinds of creativity, in science, and medicine and law people whose job is coming up with a new legal strategy or business strategy.” says Ford. “The second category,” he continues, “is jobs that require complicated interpersonal relationships.” He points to nurses, business consultants and investigative journalists. “These are jobs to interact in the kinds of ways that really build relationships.” he says. “The third safe zone is jobs that really require lots of mobility and problem-solving ability in unpredictable environments.” says Ford. Many trade jobs — think electricians, plumbers, engineers and where you need a very deep understanding of people. I think it’ll be a long time before AI has the ability the like — fall under this umbrella. “These are the kinds of jobs where you’re dealing with a new situation all the time.” he adds. In short seeking roles in dynamic, shifting environments that include unpredictable tasks is a good way to avoid job loss to AI, at least, for a while. 32. What has been a historical concern regarding new machines? A. The need for increased human skills. B. The possibility of human losing jobs. C. The fear of increased automation costs. D. The potential for machine malfunctions. 33. What can we know from the March report? A. AI is not capable of content generation. B. AI can imitate distinctly human qualities. C. AI poses no threat to human employment. D. AI has no outside-the-box thinking abilities. 34. Which of the following statement will Martin Ford disagree with? A. All creative jobs are not safe from AI. B. Graphic designers tend to be affected. C. Problem-solving jobs will remain unaffected. D. Jobs focusing on repetitive tasks will still have a place. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards the potential job loss caused by AI? A. Optimistic. B. Pessimistic. C. Indifferent. D. Uncertain. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Changing Landscape of the Music Business The music industry is in the process of a great change. In the past decades, artists made money through physical sales of records, CDs, and cassettes. While in recent years, downloading songs from services such as Amazon or iTunes has become the most common way for people to purchase music, and the whole idea of buying music to own may be falling. To take its place are Internet apps that stream music directly to listeners on their smartphones, tablets, or computers.____36____While this is great for fans, who now have access to millions of songs at the flick of a touchscreen, it has shattered the traditional model of how an artist manages his or her career. With music lovers increasingly moving away from making one-time purchases towards an all-you-can-listen-to service, what is a hard-working artist to do? The main problem facing many musicians is that payments-per-stream of a song are much lower than what an artist would receive from a download. ____37____In November of 2014, award-winning musician Taylor Swift pulled her entire music catalog from Spotify, a popular streaming app, claiming that their business model suggests that music does not hold much worth. ____38____They claim that it offers smaller artists a chance for their music to get heard by a wider audience. Brian Message, manager of the band Radiohead, has come out in support of streaming services. He sees them as a way for musicians and fans to interact. Regardless of what artists may think about this change in the music industry, there’s no arguing that they need to adapt in order to make money.____39____ Corporate sponsorship can be a risky option for musicians. A band can make much money by agreeing to promote a product or license its music for use in advertisements, but there are many ways that this can backfire. When bands work with businesses, they may lose the image they have worked to create.____40____Artists must develop an image that appeals to their fans in order to remain unique and authentic, or they risk striking .the wrong chord, which could leave them struggling to sustain careers in this new business landscape. A. Others have welcomed the idea of streaming music. B. However, those forms of media are quickly fading away. C. Some big-name artists have called attention to the issue. D. The rules could be different for smaller bands just starting out. E. Maintaining a fine image while working on a career is certainly tricky. F. One major shift is the growth in partnership between artists and businesses. G. These apps are available either as free versions or as monthly subscription services. 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节：完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） Alone But Not Lonely I walked into Panera and placed my order.

As a girl of shy and reserved nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the sophisticated city life. One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A buzz of excitement fed the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate. However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don’t have any special skills to share.” Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer. I couldn’t shake the upsetting feeling until one day, Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class. “How about singing together in the talent show?” She grinned, “I heard you singing a tune, along the way back home. I can’t help following you here.” Gosh, I couldn’t believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little talent. Since Emma had the world’s prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune. “You two? The talent show for the food bank?” My mum bent towards us and her face lit up. “A big occasion.” Then a light bulb seemed to go in her head. “Why not practise right now upstairs? I bet you’ll be a perfect match.” Winking at us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike. Emma and I embarked on rehearsing almost every single day after school. We brainstormed, exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the performance, Emma called that she had an acute stomachache and was not in any shape to perform. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: I was completely knocked out by the news. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Finally came the big moment. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 银川一中2025届高三年级第四次月考 英语试卷 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题的答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷及草稿纸上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 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。并标在试卷相应的位置。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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What will the weather be like next week?

The play was filmed in Dali, showing some main places such as Dali Ancient Town, Shaxi Ancient Town and Xizhou Town. During the Spring Festival holiday, Dali received several million tourists, marking a remarkable increase compared to the previous year. Jiangmen in Guangdong Province Thanks to the success of a hit show, Jiangmen in Guangdong Province became a famous tourism destination last year. As the hometown for many overseas Chinese, the city is well-known for its historical and cultural streets, featuring South Asian architecture and wide varieties of snacks, which attract tourists and TV fans. It recorded more than three million trips, and the trips created several billion yuan of tourism income for the city. Qingdao in Shandong Province One of the most popular films during last year’s Spring Festival was a science fiction film about the Earth. Interestingly, you may not know that 90 percent of the film was actually shot in Qingdao City of East China’s Shandong Province. For science fiction fans or film lovers, visiting Qingdao to explore the filming places has become popular. Taiyuan Ancient County in Shanxi Province A comedy film during last year’s Spring Festival shot in the Taiyuan Ancient County in Shanxi has caused a stir. The film was inspired by a famous poem and general in the Southern Song Dynasty (1127 — 1279). From January 21 to January 31, the county saw a flood of over 400,000 tourists, a great rise compared to about 180,000 visitors during the last Spring Festival holiday. 21. Where is the TV play mentioned in paragraph 1 mainly shot? A. In some ancient towns. B. In some historical counties. C. In southwest China’s cities. D. In south China’s provinces. 22. How is Jiangmen different from the other three destinations? A. It is a popular attraction. B. It was first built by overseas Chinese. C. It received the most tourists this year. D. It is the root of many Chinese living abroad. 23. Which of the following drives the popularity of the last two destinations? A. Poems. B. Films. C. A general. D. An explorer. 【答案】21. A 22. D 23. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了中国四个受欢迎的旅游目的地。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Dali in Yunnan Province部分中“The play was filmed in Dali, showing some main places such as Dali Ancient Town, Shaxi Ancient Town and Xizhou Town. (该剧在大理取景拍摄，拍摄了大理古镇、沙溪古镇、喜洲镇等主要景点)”可知，第一段提到的这部电视剧主要在一些古镇取景。故选A项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Jiangmen in Guangdong Province部分中“As the hometown for many overseas Chinese, the city is well-known for its historical and cultural streets, featuring South Asian architecture and wide varieties of snacks, which attract tourists and TV fans. (作为许多海外华人的故乡，这座城市以其历史和文化街道而闻名，以南亚建筑和各种小吃为特色，吸引了游客和电视迷)”可知，江门不同于其他三个目的地，因为它是许多海外华人的故乡。故选D项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Qingdao in Shandong Province部分中“Interestingly, you may not know that 90 percent of the film was actually shot in Qingdao City of East China’s Shandong Province. For science fiction fans or film lovers, visiting Qingdao to explore the filming places has become popular. (有趣的是，你可能不知道，这部电影90%的镜头实际上是在中国东部山东省青岛市拍摄的。对于科幻迷或电影爱好者来说，去青岛探索电影拍摄地已经成为一种流行)”和Taiyuan Ancient County in Shanxi Province部分中“A comedy film during last year’s Spring Festival shot in the Taiyuan Ancient County in Shanxi has caused a stir. (去年春节期间在山西太原古县城拍摄的一部喜剧电影引起了轰动)”可知，山东青岛和山西太原古县的受欢迎是电影推动的。故选B项。 B As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children. Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification (沙漠化). “Within10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification. Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable (可持续的) crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers (肥料) rather than chemicals. In 2012, Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.” By September2016, more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant l million trees by 2028. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco. 24. How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her? A. They fired her enthusiasm for helping others. B. They helped her better understand her father. C. They made her decide to leave the country. D. They destroyed her dream of being a teacher. 25. What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland? A. Cold weather. B. Soil pollution. C. Low rainfall. D. Forest damage. 26. Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia? A. To create job opportunities for young people. B. To promote the protection of their farmland. C. To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers. D. To help the children obtain a basic education. 27. Which of the following can be the best title to the text? A. Saving Water in Africa B. Fighting Poverty in North Africa C. Holding back the Sahara D. Planting Trees in Tunisia 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Sarah Toumi的成长经历及其为对抗沙漠化、保护突尼斯农田所做出的努力，包括成立Acacias for All项目，种植树木以维护生态平衡，同时也提及了她的个人愿景和项目的发展影响。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children. (作为一个在法国长大的年轻女孩，Sarah Toumi梦想成为一名能够让世界变得更美好的领导者。从九岁起，她就在假期陪伴Tunisian父亲前往他在该国东部的出生地，这唤醒了她帮助他人的热情。在那里，她为孩子们组织了家庭作业俱乐部和活动。)”可知，Toumi在Tunisian的假期旅行激发了她帮助他人的热情。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification. (平均降雨量的减少和干旱严重程度的增加导致突尼斯大约75%的农业用地受到荒漠化的威胁。)”可知，导致突尼斯农田沙漠化的主因是降水量减少。故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“In 2012, Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.” (2012年，Toumi继续她与沙漠作战的梦想。她搬到了突尼斯，建立了一个名为“Acacias for All”的项目，将她的可持续农业理念付诸行动。“我想向农村地区的年轻人展示，他们可以在自己所在的地方创造机会。没有人比那些生活在没有水的地方的人更能理解荒漠化和气候变化的影响。”)”和第五段中“Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. (Toumi估计需要大约300万棵金合欢树来保护Tunisia的农田。)”可知，Toumi建立Acacias for All的目的是为了推广保护他们农田的行动。故选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第二段“Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification (沙漠化). “Within10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification. (图米亲眼目睹了沙漠化的破坏性影响。“在10年内，富裕的农民变得更穷，再过10年，他们将变穷。我想阻止撒哈拉沙漠的发展。”平均降雨量的减少和干旱严重程度的增加导致突尼斯大约75%的农业用地受到荒漠化的威胁。)”可知，文章主要讲述了Sarah Toumi为阻止沙漠化进程所做的努力，包括改变农业实践、种植金合欢树等，旨在保护突尼斯的农田免受沙漠化威胁。因此，“Holding back the Sahara (阻挡Sahara)”最能概括文章主题。故选C。 C Trying to imagine fat, white sheep jumping one by one over a fence, is a well-known treatment for sleeplessness. I’ve often wondered just who came up with such a silly suggestion. If the idea is to bore you to sleep, why not count backward? And who decided on sheep? Why not rabbits, horses, frogs or kangaroos? And does it really help you fall asleep? Search online, and you’ll soon find stories about a study on battling insomnia that put the concept to the test. “In reality, that wasn’t the point of the research,” said senior author Allison Harvey, who conducted the research. Their study wasn’t about counting sheep; it was just about using imagery to fight sleeplessness. In her research 50 people were divided into three groups. The first had no instructions on how to fall asleep, while members of the second were told to distract (分心) themselves from thoughts, worries and concerns in any way they wanted. The third group was instructed to perform an interesting and engaging imagery task, such as creating or remembering a waterfall, a holiday or a summer afternoon in the sun. Those who used imagery reported falling asleep much faster than either of the other two groups, and they rated their thoughts, worries and concerns to be less uncomfortable and painful than people in the distraction or no instruction group. As it happened, two of the study participants in the distraction group did count sheep as a way to fall asleep “and somehow people accepted that, I guess because they thought it was fun,” Harvey said. While she didn’t actually study counting sheep as a way of overcoming sleeplessness and isn’t aware of any other studies to do so, Harvey does have an opinion based on her years as a sleep specialist. “Something as ordinary as counting sheep usually does not do the trick,” she said. “As everyone is different and not one option is going to help every single time, we have worked out a menu of options with people.” 28. What does the underlined word “insomnia” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Sleeplessness. B. Illness. C. Distraction. D. Laziness. 29. What can be learned about Allison Harvey’s research? A. Each group consisted of 50 participants. B. The distraction group reported the most benefits. C. Its initial aim was to test the effectiveness of imagery. D. Every participant was given some instructions. 30. What does Allison Harvey think of counting sheep for sleep? A. Creative. B. Questionable. C. Practical. D. Traditional. 31. What will the text continue to talk about probably? A. Alternative methods for falling asleep. B. Various strategies to improve people’s health. C. Historical origins of counting sheep for sleep. D. Scientific theories behind counting sheep for sleep. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨的是失眠解决方法，特别是对比数羊和使用想象力的效果，并强调个体化的治疗方案的重要性。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Trying to imagine fat, white sheep jumping one by one over a fence, is a well- known treatment for sleeplessness.(试着想象胖胖的白羊一只接一只地跳过篱笆，这是一种众所周知的治疗失眠的方法)”；“If the idea is to bore you to sleep, why not count backward? And who decided on sheep? Why not rabbits, horses, frogs or kangaroos? And does it really help you fall asleep?( 如果这个想法是为了让你无聊到睡着，为什么不倒着数呢？谁决定养羊的？为什么不是兔子、马、青蛙或袋鼠呢？它真的能帮助你入睡吗？)”以及划线词上文“you’ll soon find stories about a study on battling”和后文“the concept to the test(验证这一概念)”可知，上文提到了数羊来治疗失眠，而有研究对此进行了验证。故划线词意思是“失眠”。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Those who used imagery reported falling asleep much faster than either of the other two groups, and they rated their thoughts, worries and concerns to be less uncomfortable and painful than people in the distraction or no instruction group.(那些使用图像的人入睡的速度比其他两组快得多，他们认为自己的想法、担忧和担忧比分心组或无指导组的人更不舒服和痛苦)”可知，艾莉森·哈维研究的最初目的是测试意象的有效性。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““Something as ordinary as counting sheep usually does not do the trick,” she said. (“像数羊这样普通的事情通常不会奏效，”她说)”可知，艾莉森·哈维认为数羊睡觉有问题。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“As everyone is different and not one option is going to help every single time, we have worked out a menu of options with people.(由于每个人都是不同的，没有一种选择每次都能奏效，我们和人们一起制定了一份选择菜单)”可知，这篇文章可能会继续讨论入睡的其他方法。故选A。 D Since the start of the industrial revolution, there have been threats that new machines — from mechanized looms (织布机) to microchips would take human jobs. A March report from Goldman Sachs estimated that AI capable of content generation could do a quarter of all the work currently done by humans. Across the European Union and the US, the report further notes, 300 million jobs could be lost to automation. Thankfully, it’s not all bad news. The experts issue their warnings with a relief: there are still things AI isn’t capable of — tasks that involve distinctly human qualities, like emotional intelligence and outside-the-box thinking. “I think there are generally three categories that will remain unaffected in the coming future.” says Martin Ford, a related author. “The first would be jobs that are genuinely creative: you’re not engaged in repetitive work or just rearranging things, but you’re genuinely coming up with new ideas and building something new.” That doesn’t necessarily mean all jobs that are considered “creative” are safe. In fact, things like graphic design and visual art-related roles may be among the first to go. Basic algorithms can direct a robot to analyze millions of images, allowing AI to rapidly acquire a sense of beauty. “But there’s some security in other kinds of creativity, in science, and medicine and law people whose job is coming up with a new legal strategy or business strategy.” says Ford. “The second category,” he continues, “is jobs that require complicated interpersonal relationships.” He points to nurses, business consultants and investigative journalists. “These are jobs to interact in the kinds of ways that really build relationships.” he says. “The third safe zone is jobs that really require lots of mobility and problem-solving ability in unpredictable environments.” says Ford. Many trade jobs — think electricians, plumbers, engineers and where you need a very deep understanding of people. I think it’ll be a long time before AI has the ability the like — fall under this umbrella. “These are the kinds of jobs where you’re dealing with a new situation all the time.” he adds. In short, seeking roles in dynamic, shifting environments that include unpredictable tasks is a good way to avoid job loss to AI, at least, for a while. 32. What has been a historical concern regarding new machines? A. The need for increased human skills. B. The possibility of human losing jobs. C. The fear of increased automation costs. D. The potential for machine malfunctions. 33. What can we know from the March report? A. AI is not capable of content generation. B. AI can imitate distinctly human qualities. C. AI poses no threat to human employment. D. AI has no outside-the-box thinking abilities. 34. Which of the following statement will Martin Ford disagree with? A. All creative jobs are not safe from AI. B. Graphic designers tend to be affected. C. Problem-solving jobs will remain unaffected. D. Jobs focusing on repetitive tasks will still have a place. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards the potential job loss caused by AI? A. Optimistic. B. Pessimistic. C. Indifferent. D. Uncertain. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。高盛3月份的一份报告估计，能够生成内容的人工智能可以完成目前人类所做工作的四分之一。报告进一步指出，在整个欧盟和美国，自动化可能会导致3亿个工作岗位流失。但是人工智能仍有一些事情是无法胜任的——那些涉及明显人类品质的任务，比如情商和创新思维。文章对此进行了介绍。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Since the start of the industrial revolution, there have been threats that new machines — from mechanized looms (织布机) to microchips would take human jobs.(自从工业革命开始以来，新机器——从机械化织布机到微芯片——就一直威胁着人类的工作。)”可知，对于新机器的传统担忧是人类失去工作的可能性。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“The experts issue their warnings with a relief: there are still things AI isn’t capable of — tasks that involve distinctly human qualities, like emotional intelligence and outside-the-box thinking.(专家们在发出警告时也给出了安慰：人工智能仍有一些事情是无法胜任的——那些涉及明显人类品质的任务，比如情商和创新思维。)”可知，人工智能没有创新思维。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段第二句“The first would be jobs that are genuinely creative: you’re not engaged in repetitive work or just rearranging things, but you’re genuinely coming up with new ideas and building something new.(第一种是真正具有创造性的工作：你不是在从事重复性的工作，也不是在重新安排东西，而是在真正地提出新想法，创造新东西。)”可知，马丁·福特会不认同“专注于重复性任务的工作仍将有一席之地”的观点。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In short, seeking roles in dynamic, shifting environments that include unpredictable tasks is a good way to avoid job loss to AI, at least, for a while.(简而言之，在包括不可预测任务在内的动态、不断变化的环境中寻找职位，是避免被人工智能抢走工作的好方法，至少在一段时间内是这样。)”可知，作者对人工智能可能造成的失业持乐观态度。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Changing Landscape of the Music Business The music industry is in the process of a great change. In the past decades, artists made money through physical sales of records, CDs, and cassettes. While in recent years, downloading songs from services such as Amazon or iTunes has become the most common way for people to purchase music, and the whole idea of buying music to own may be falling. To take its place are Internet apps that stream music directly to listeners on their smartphones, tablets, or computers.____36____While this is great for fans, who now have access to millions of songs at the flick of a touchscreen, it has shattered the traditional model of how an artist manages his or her career. With music lovers increasingly moving away from making one-time purchases towards an all-you-can-listen-to service, what is a hard-working artist to do? The main problem facing many musicians is that payments-per-stream of a song are much lower than what an artist would receive from a download. ____37____In November of 2014, award-winning musician Taylor Swift pulled her entire music catalog from Spotify, a popular streaming app, claiming that their business model suggests that music does not hold much worth. ____38____They claim that it offers smaller artists a chance for their music to get heard by a wider audience. Brian Message, manager of the band Radiohead, has come out in support of streaming services. He sees them as a way for musicians and fans to interact. Regardless of what artists may think about this change in the music industry, there’s no arguing that they need to adapt in order to make money.____39____ Corporate sponsorship can be a risky option for musicians. A band can make much money by agreeing to promote a product or license its music for use in advertisements, but there are many ways that this can backfire. When bands work with businesses, they may lose the image they have worked to create.____40____Artists must develop an image that appeals to their fans in order to remain unique and authentic, or they risk striking .the wrong chord, which could leave them struggling to sustain careers in this new business landscape. A. Others have welcomed the idea of streaming music. B. However, those forms of media are quickly fading away. C. Some big-name artists have called attention to the issue. D. The rules could be different for smaller bands just starting out. E. Maintaining a fine image while working on a career is certainly tricky. F. One major shift is the growth in partnership between artists and businesses. G. These apps are available either as free versions or as monthly subscription services. 【答案】36. G 37. C 38. A 39. F 40. E 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章描写了流媒体的发展对于现如今音乐人的影响。 【36题详解】 根据后文“While this is great for fans, who now have access to millions of songs at the flick of a touchscreen, it has shattered the traditional model of how an artist manages his or her career.（虽然这对歌迷来说是件好事，他们现在只需轻触触摸屏就可以访问数百万首歌曲，但它打破了艺术家管理自己职业生涯的传统模式。）”可猜测，划线句可描写这些应用程序的功能特点是如何打破艺术家管理自己职业生涯的传统模式的。G选项“These apps are available either as free versions or as monthly subscription services.”（这些应用程序要么提供免费版本，要么提供月度订阅服务。）符合题意，且选项中的these apps呼应上文的Internet apps。故选G项。 【37题详解】 根据前文“The main problem facing many musicians is that payments-per-stream of a song are much lower than what an artist would receive from a download.（许多音乐家面临的主要问题是，每流歌曲的付费远远低于艺术家从下载中获得的费用。）”以及下文“In November of 2014, award-winning musician Taylor Swift pulled her entire music catalog from Spotify, a popular streaming app, claiming that their business model suggests that music does not hold much worth.”（2014年11月，获奖音乐家泰勒·斯威夫特(Taylor Swift)从流行流媒体应用Spotify下架了她的全部音乐目录，声称Spotify的商业模式表明音乐没有多少价值。）可猜测，有些音乐家已经针对这个问题采取行动。C选项“Some big-name artists have called attention to the issue.”（一些大牌艺术家已经引起了人们对这个问题的关注。）符合题意，下文提到的Taylor Swift就是big-name artists中的一个。故选C项。 【38题详解】 根据下文“They claim that it offers smaller artists a chance for their music to get heard by a wider audience.（他们声称这为小艺术家提供了一个机会，让他们的音乐被更广泛的观众听到。）”可知，也有其他人赞同流媒体的发展。A选项“Others have welcomed the idea of streaming music.”（其他人则对流媒体音乐的想法表示欢迎。）符合题意，故选A项。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Regardless of what artists may think about this change in the music industry, there’s no arguing that they need to adapt in order to make money.（不管艺术家们对音乐行业这种变化有什么看法，毫无疑问，为了赚钱，他们需要适应。）”以及下文“Corporate sponsorship can be a risky option for musicians.（对音乐家来说，企业赞助可能是一个冒险的选择。）”可知，这个变化与音乐家和企业赞助有关系。F选项“One major shift is the growth in partnership between artists and businesses.”（一个主要的变化是艺术家和企业之间的合作关系的增长。）符合题意，故选F项。 【40题详解】 根据下文“Artists must develop an image that appeals to their fans in order to remain unique and authentic, or they risk striking the wrong chord, which could leave them struggling to sustain careers in this new business landscape.（为了保持独特和真实，艺术家们必须塑造出能吸引粉丝的形象，否则他们就有可能引起错误的共鸣，这可能会让他们在新的商业环境下难以维持职业生涯。）”可知，保持良好形象很重要也很困难。E选项“Maintaining a fine image while working on a career is certainly tricky.”（在事业上保持良好的形象当然是很棘手的。）符合题意，故选E项。 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节：完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） Alone But Not Lonely I walked into Panera and placed my order.

As a girl of shy and reserved nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the sophisticated city life. One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A buzz of excitement fed the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate. However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don’t have any special skills to share.” Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer. I couldn’t shake the upsetting feeling until one day, Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class. “How about singing together in the talent show?” She grinned, “I heard you singing a tune, along the way back home. I can’t help following you here.” Gosh, I couldn’t believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little talent. Since Emma had the world’s prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune. “You two? The talent show for the food bank?” My mum bent towards us and her face lit up. “A big occasion.” Then a light bulb seemed to go in her head. “Why not practise right now upstairs? I bet you’ll be a perfect match.” Winking at us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike. Emma and I embarked on rehearsing almost every single day after school. We brainstormed, exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the performance, Emma called that she had an acute stomachache and was not in any shape to perform. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: I was completely knocked out by the news. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Finally came the big moment. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I was completely knocked out by the news. What should I do? Having prepared for such a long time, I didn’t think of that coming up. Feeling at a loss, I was brainstorming as hard as I could to think of a solution, when a gentle touch on my back brought me back to reality. It was my mum, who looked at me with care and concern. “You have prepared for it enough. You can do it by yourself.” She said after my stumbled explanation. I looked back at her eyes, and a sense of confidence and warmness swelled up in my heart. Yes, I could do it myself. Finally came the big moment. Looking around the audience, I stepped onto the stage, with butterflies in my stomach. My voice trembled at first, but with the melodies flew around, the nervousness was gone with the wind. Emotions filled in my song, I performed as naturally as I spoke every day. I saw my mum, who was looking at me with reassurance and care. It turned out to be a good performance, which helped me conquer my fears and turned me into a new person. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇读后续写。文章讲述了作者自小性格内向，不爱交际。偶然一次机会，学校组织学生参加才艺表演，同学Emma盛情邀请作者一同参加，这使得作者备受鼓舞。然而在演出前夕，Emma却因急性胃疼不能上台，面对紧急情况，作者只能自己独立完成表演。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①根据第一段首句“我被这个消息所震惊了。”可知，作者在收到Emma不能参演的消息时一时手足无措，再根据第四段妈妈的表现可知，此时妈妈一定会及时出现，安慰作者并给作者勇气，让作者能独立完成表演。 ②根据第二段首句“重大时刻终于到来了。”可知，作者坚持独立上台表演了。可想而知作者刚登上舞台还是会紧张，但是作者天生有副好嗓子，随着表演深入，这种紧张感会消失，并且精彩完成表演。 2. 续写线索：手足无措——妈妈安慰并打气——决定独立上台——克服紧张，表演完成——升华 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ① 表演：perform/make a performance/show one’s talents ② 做准备：prepare for/make preparations for ③ 参加：participate in/join in/take part in/be involved in ④ 笑：grin/smile/laugh/giggle/chuckle 情绪类 ① 害羞内向的：shy/reserved/introverted ② 好奇的：curious/be full of curiosity ③ 开心的：delighted/overjoyed/content ④ 担忧的：concerned/worried/butterflies in one’s stomach 【点睛】[高分句型1] Having prepared for such a long time, I didn’t think of that coming up.（运用了现在分词作时间状语） [高分句型2] Emotions filled in my song, I performed as naturally as I spoke every day.（运用了独立主格结构） [高分句型3] I saw my mum, who was looking at me with reassurance and care.（运用了who引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
