Here are four of the craziest competitions in the world. Worm (幼虫) Charming Championship This competition involves contestants using a small area of grass and a number of different methods to try and attract as many worms as possible from the ground in a set amount of time. Participants use everything to make noise in the ground to try and drive the worms out. The current world record is held by 10-year-old Sophie Smith from England, who in 2009 collected 567 worms in 30 minutes. Toe (脚趾头) Wrestling Competition The wonderful sport of toe wrestling was first thought up in a pub in Wetton, England, in 1974. Four friends were angry at the fact that the UK never produced any world champions and so created a sport that they could succeed in. The competition has gained in popularity and there is a regular world championship held in Ashbourne, England, every year. It’s very similar to arm wrestling and sees competitors lock toes and wrestle until one of them “pins” the other’s foot for 3 seconds. World Beard and Moustache Championship The competition has been running since 1990. Competitors come from all over the world to see who can grow and style the best beard and moustache. The competition actually has 17 different categories, including Best Freestyle Moustache, Best Natural Goatee and the all-time classic: Best Natural Full Beard and Styled Moustache. Sauna (桑拿浴) Championship The World Sauna Championships were held in Heinola, Finland and ran from 1999 to 2010. The crazy competition saw contestants sit in a sauna for as long as possible, with the winner being the last person standing (or rather sitting and sweating). The starting temperature was 110 degrees and water would be poured onto the stove every 30 seconds. The competition came to an end in 2010, though, when tragedy struck and one of the contestants died during the event and another was severely injured. 1. What does the text say about Worm Charming Championship? A. It has no time limit. B. Its records are broken frequently. C. It has no requirement for tools used. D. Its participants are mainly teenagers. 2. Why was Toe Wrestling Competition created? A. To raise people’s interest in sports. B. To compete against arm wrestling. C. To demonstrate the creativity of the English. D. To give the English a chance to be world champions. 3. Which competition is no longer held? A Sauna Championship. B. Toe Wrestling Competition. C. Worm Charming Championship. D. World Beard and Moustache Championship. B An African penguin named Mr. Greedy died at Baltimore’s Maryland Zoo last week at the age of 33, surpassing his species’ median life expectancy of 18 years. His secret to longevity? Fathering lots of penguins, apparently. Zoo officials said Mr. Greedy helped rebuild the penguin population at zoos across North America. Doing his part to promote the survival of his endangered species, he left behind 230 descendants (子孙) and five generations of offspring as part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums African Penguin Species Survival Plan. Mr. Greedy was put to death painlessly following an age-related decline in his health. Jen Kottyan, leader of the survival program, said in a statement, “It’s tough to lose an animal who has been such a welcome presence at our zoo for three decades. This bird was incredibly important to the continued existence of African penguins throughout the world.” Mr. Greedy also left behind his lifelong mate, Mrs. Greedy. Both birds hatched in 1991 and arrived at the Zoo the following year. The pair had been together since 1994, when they hit reproductive age. Mrs. Greedy is now the Zoo’s oldest penguin. Mr. Greedy earned his name due to his stealing habit. He frequently stole nesting materials and food from others. Mrs. Greedy, who joined her partner in such behaviors, also lives up to her nickname. In the wake of the loss of her partner, zookeepers are monitoring Mrs. Greedy’s heath. “Her behavior will determine what happens next,” Kottyan said. “On condition that she shows interest, the Zoo will pair her with a single male in the colony (群体) as a companion.” The wild population of African penguins, native to South Africa and Namibia, has declined by75% over the past 20 years, according to the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, mostly due to the fact that they have great difficulty filling their stomachs. The species’ numbers, once in the millions, have also dropped because of overfishing, human disturbance of nesting grounds, pollution and climate change. 4. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. Mr. Greedy’s reproductive ability. B. Great contributions made by Mr. Greedy. C. The number of Mr. Greedy’s descendants. D. The African Penguin Species Survival Plan. 5. What will the Zoo do for Mrs. Greedy? A. Return her to the wild. B. Move her to another colony. C. Accompany her day and night. D. Find a partner for her if she likes. 6. What’s the leading cause of the decline of wild African penguins? A. Rising sea levels. B. Insufficient food supply. C. Shortage of nesting grounds. D. Worsening weather conditions. 7. What can be known about Mr. Greedy from the text? A. He died a natural death. B. He used to commit thefts alone. C. He was born and raised in the Zoo. D. He was thought highly of by Kottyan. C For many, travel isn’t just about the destination — it’s about making the most of the journey. However, for a lot of people, the journey is often ruined by an uncomfortable experience often accompanied by vomiting (呕吐), known as motion sickness. If you’ve ever felt the unwelcome urge to vomit while reading or using your device in a moving vehicle, you’re not alone. Recognizing this common issue, Apple has stepped up to offer a solution: the Vehicle Motion Cues feature (功能) for iPhones and iPads. Motion sickness occurs when there is a disconnect between what your eyes see and what your body feels. When you’re in a moving vehicle, your body senses motion through its vestibular system (the inner ear), but if your eyes are focused on a still screen that doesn’t reflect this movement, the brain receives mixed signals. This sensory (感官的) conflict can lead to dizziness (头晕), nausea, and overall discomfort — symptoms (症状) all too familiar to motion sickness sufferers. Apple’s new Vehicle Motion Cues feature is designed to bridge this gap and bring relief to those likely to experience motion sickness. This feature works by showing animated (动画的) dots around your screen, which move at the same time and speed as the motion of your vehicle. These moving cues help keep the motion your body feels in agreement with what your eyes see, effectively reducing the sensory mismatch that causes motion sickness. By matching the visual input with the physical sensations of motion, your brain is less likely to experience the confusion that leads to sickness. Early reports and user feedback (反馈) indicate that Vehicle Motion Cues is receiving high praise for its effectiveness. So next time you embark on a journey, whether short or long, remember that Apple’s got your back — or rather, your brain - helping you make the most of every mile with ease and comfort. 8. Which type of people can be interested in Vehicle Motion Cues? A. Frequent travelers. B. Book lovers. C. Vehicle operators. D. Sport scientists. 9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The principle of Apple’s new design. B. The cause of motion sickness. C. The functions of Apples new design. D. The symptoms of motion sickness. 10. By displaying animated dots around the screen, Apple's Vehicle Motion Cues is able to _____. A. ease sensory conflicts in the brain B tell the mismatched physical sensations C. balance the movement of our eyes and body D. increase the effectiveness of vehicle motion 11. Which can be the best title of the passage? A. Make the Most of Your Journey: Apple Bridges the. Gap B. Find the Magic of a Moving Vehicle: Apple’s Got! Your Back C. Enjoy Your Reading: Apple Offers a Revolutionary Solution D. Say Goodbye to Motion Sickness: Apple Introduces Its New Design D A few days ago, I watched a video of myself talking in perfect Chinese. I’ve been studying the language on and off for only a few years, and I’m far from fluent. But there I was, pronouncing each character just as a native speaker would. “My favorite food is sushi,” I said — wo zui xihuan de shiwu shi shousi. I’d created the video using software from a Los Angeles-based artificial-intelligence start-up called HeyGen. The technology, which only needs a single selfie and a script to generate deepfake videos of real people “saying” almost anything, is a testament (证明) to the advancements in AI language tools. This got me thinking about the declining interest in language learning with fewer students enrolling in foreign language courses and the decrease of English proficiency among young people in some places. AI translation, integrated into social media and messaging platforms, seems to be everywhere. Even language-learning apps are using AI-generated content in their marketing. However, language translation is an art rather than a science. Something enormous will be lost in exchange for that convenience. As Anne, a Chinese translator said, “Building a ladder between widely different languages, such as Chinese and English, is sometimes as difficult as a doctor building a bridge in a patient’s heart,” Language learning fosters cultural competency, a skill that AI cannot simply copy. Learning a different way to speak, read, and write helps people discover new ways to see the world. No machine can replace such a profound human experience. Deborah Cohn, a language professor, emphasizes that language learning is actually about understanding and connecting with different cultures; Instead of abandoning language courses in favor of AI, some educators advocate for emphasizing the intercultural aspects of language learning. Paula Krebs of the MLA points out that even with a “universal translator”, sometimes, the greater meaning of people’s utterance (言辞) remains a mystery. In essence, while AI language tools offer convenience, they lack the depth and cultural insight that comes from human language learning. The challenge and beauty of learning a language are in understanding the cultural tapestry (织锦) that weaves through words, something AI has yet to achieve. 12. Why does the author give the example in paragraph 1? A. To promote the language software. B. To show off his Chinese language skills. C. To prove learning a language is a wasted effort. D. To encourage critical thinking about AI language tools. 13. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. AI translation deserves more attention. B. Language apps play a key role in marketing. C. Language translation is far beyond technology. D. Learning a different language is an uphill battle. 14. What is the key benefit of learning a language according to the passage? A. Better digital literacy. B. Improved translation skills. C. Deeper cultural confidence. D. Effective intercultural interaction. 15. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. AI language tools offer convenience. B. AI facilitates language learning in terms of culture. C. AI is far from perfect in helping language understanding. D. AI has achieved success in the development of language learning tools. 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。 Your mental health influences how you think, feel, and behave in daily life. It also affects your ability to deal with stress, overcome challenges, build relationships, and recover from life’s setbacks and hardships. Having solid mental health doesn’t mean that you never go through bad times or experience emotional problems. We all go through disappointments, loss and change. These are normal parts of life. ___16___ Just as physically healthy people are better able to bounce back from illness or injury, people with strong mental health are better able to bounce back from adversity （逆境）, and stress. This ability is called resilience （适应力）. People who are emotionally and mentally resilient have the tools for dealing with difficult situations and maintaining a positive outlook. ___17___ Their resilience also makes them less afraid of new experiences and an uncertain future. Even when they don’t immediately know how a problem will be solved, they’re hopeful that a solution will eventually be found. Anyone can suffer from mental or emotional health problems over a lifetime; most of us will. Therefore, mental health problems are quite common. ___18___ We ignore the emotional messages that tell us something is wrong and try toughing it out by distracting （使分心） ourselves. We bottle up our problems in the hope that others won’t notice. ___19___ Or we simply give up—telling ourselves this is “just the way we are.” ___20___ There are practices you can adopt to lift your mood become more resilient, and enjoy life more. But just as it requires effort to build and maintain physical health, so it does with mental health. We have to work harder these days to ensure strong mental health, simply because there are so many ways that life has a bad effect on our emotional well-being. A. The good news is that you don’t have to feel bad. B. Besides, developing mental strength is a lifelong journey. C. However, they can still cause sadness, anxiety, and stress. D.

His father said, “All set, boy?” and Jeremy nodded, picking up his gun with awkward gloved hands. His father pushed open the door and they went out into the freezing dawn together. Ordinarily Jeremy would take out his camera to record the scenery, but not this morning. This was the morning, particularly sacred, when 14-year-old Jeremy would go duck hunting for the first time. However, he hated it, and had hated the whole idea since his father bought him a gun. But he was determined to go through with it. He loved his father, and wanted his approval more than anything in the world. They came to a narrow and hidden place facing the bay. Jeremy sat down nervously and waited. To reduce fear, he took a picture of his father against the clean water. Then he put the camera hurriedly on the grass and picked up his gun. Jeremy got his gun ready. “I'll let you shoot first,” his father said, loading his own gun. “You know, I've been waiting for a long time for this day. Just the two of us..."He broke off, bending forward, eyes narrowed. “There's a small flight heading this way now. Keep your head down. I'll give you the word.” The sun came out. Jeremy could see everything clearly: his father's face, tense and eager; the white frost on the gun. His heart was beating wildly. He prayed, “Don't let them come, please!” But they kept coming. "Four black,” his father said. “One mallard.” High above, Jeremy heard the pulsing whistle of wings as the flight began to circle. The mallard was leading, his feet dropping down, reaching for the silver-colored water. Closer, closer... “Get set,” his father whispered. “Now!” cried Jeremy's father. “Take them!” Jeremy felt his body obey. He stood up, holding the gun. In the same instant, the wild ducks saw the gunners and flew. “Shoot!” said something sharply in Jeremy's brain. But up went the mallard higher still, until suddenly he caught the full force of the wind and flew away, out of range. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； Paragraph 1: His father asked in a controlled voice, “Why didn't you shoot?” __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: To Jeremy's surprise, his father was handing the camera to him. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 福州铜盘中学2024-2025学年第一学期高三12月月考 英语试卷 (考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分) 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) 做题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了世界上最疯狂的四个比赛的相关信息。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据Worm (幼虫) Charming Championship部分“The wonderful sport of toe wrestling was first thought up in a pub in Wetton, England, in 1974. Four friends were angry at the fact that the UK never produced any world champions and so created a sport that they could succeed in. The competition has gained in popularity and there is a regular world championship held in Ashbourne, England, every year. It’s very similar to arm wrestling and sees competitors lock toes and wrestle until one of them “pins” the other’s foot for 3 seconds. (这项比赛要求参赛者使用一小块草地和许多不同的方法，试图在规定的时间内从地面吸引尽可能多的蠕虫。参与者用各种方法在地上制造噪音，试图把蠕虫赶出去。目前的世界纪录是由来自英国的10岁的索菲·史密斯保持的，她在2009年30分钟内收集了567只蠕虫。)”可知，Worm Charming Championship对使用的工具没有要求。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Toe (脚趾头) Wrestling Competition部分中“The wonderful sport of toe wrestling was first thought up in a pub in Wetton, England, in 1974. Four friends were angry at the fact that the UK never produced any world champions and so created a sport that they could succeed in. (1974年，在英国威顿一家酒吧里，人们第一次想到了足尖摔跤这项精彩的运动。四个朋友对英国从未产生过世界冠军感到愤怒，因此创造了一项他们可以成功的运动。)”可知，创建脚趾摔跤比赛的初衷是给英国人一个成为世界冠军的机会。故选D。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Sauna (桑拿浴) Championship部分中“The competition came to an end in 2010, though, when tragedy struck and one of the contestants died during the event and another was severely injured. (然而，比赛在2010年结束，当时悲剧发生，一名选手在比赛中死亡，另一名选手严重受伤。)”可知，Sauna Championship因为发生悲剧而不再举办。故选A。 B An African penguin named Mr. Greedy died at Baltimore’s Maryland Zoo last week at the age of 33, surpassing his species’ median life expectancy of 18 years. His secret to longevity? Fathering lots of penguins, apparently. Zoo officials said Mr. Greedy helped rebuild the penguin population at zoos across North America. Doing his part to promote the survival of his endangered species, he left behind 230 descendants (子孙) and five generations of offspring as part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums African Penguin Species Survival Plan. Mr. Greedy was put to death painlessly following an age-related decline in his health. Jen Kottyan, leader of the survival program, said in a statement, “It’s tough to lose an animal who has been such a welcome presence at our zoo for three decades. This bird was incredibly important to the continued existence of African penguins throughout the world.” Mr. Greedy also left behind his lifelong mate, Mrs. Greedy. Both birds hatched in 1991 and arrived at the Zoo the following year. The pair had been together since 1994, when they hit reproductive age. Mrs. Greedy is now the Zoo’s oldest penguin. Mr. Greedy earned his name due to his stealing habit. He frequently stole nesting materials and food from others. Mrs. Greedy, who joined her partner in such behaviors, also lives up to her nickname. In the wake of the loss of her partner, zookeepers are monitoring Mrs. Greedy’s heath. “Her behavior will determine what happens next,” Kottyan said. “On condition that she shows interest, the Zoo will pair her with a single male in the colony (群体) as a companion.” The wild population of African penguins, native to South Africa and Namibia, has declined by75% over the past 20 years, according to the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, mostly due to the fact that they have great difficulty filling their stomachs. The species’ numbers, once in the millions, have also dropped because of overfishing, human disturbance of nesting grounds, pollution and climate change. 4. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. Mr. Greedy’s reproductive ability. B. Great contributions made by Mr. Greedy. C. The number of Mr. Greedy’s descendants. D. The African Penguin Species Survival Plan. 5. What will the Zoo do for Mrs. Greedy? A. Return her to the wild. B. Move her to another colony. C. Accompany her day and night. D. Find a partner for her if she likes. 6. What’s the leading cause of the decline of wild African penguins? A. Rising sea levels. B. Insufficient food supply. C. Shortage of nesting grounds. D. Worsening weather conditions. 7. What can be known about Mr. Greedy from the text? A. He died a natural death. B. He used to commit thefts alone. C. He was born and raised in the Zoo. D. He was thought highly of by Kottyan. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了巴尔的摩马里兰动物园的一只33岁的雄性企鹅上周去世，远超企鹅的平均预期寿命中位数——18岁，他长寿的秘诀就是繁衍后代。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Zoo officials said Mr. Greedy helped rebuild the penguin population at zoos across North America. Doing his part to promote the survival of his endangered species, he left behind 230 descendants (子孙) and five generations of offspring as part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums African Penguin Species Survival Plan.(动物园的官员们说，Mr. Greedy帮助重建了整个北美动物园的企鹅种群。为了尽他所能促进濒危物种的生存，他留下了5代后代，共230个子孙，作为美国动物协会非洲企鹅物种生存计划的一部分)”可知，本段主要讲述Mr. Greedy所做出的贡献。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段中Kottyan所说的“On condition that she shows interest, the Zoo will pair her with a single male in the colony (群体) as a companion.(在她表现出兴趣的条件下，动物园会将她与群体中的一只雄性配对作为伴侣)”可知，如果Mrs. Greedy愿意，马里兰动物园会为她找一个伴侣。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“The wild population of African penguins, native to South Africa and Namibia, has declined by 75% over the past 20 years, according to the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, mostly due to the fact that they have great difficulty filling their stomachs.(据动物园和水族馆协会称，非洲企鹅原产于南非和纳米比亚，在过去的20年里，非洲企鹅的野生种群数量下降了75%，主要原因是它们很难填饱肚子)”可知，原产于南非和纳米比亚的非洲企鹅的野生种群在过去的20年里减少了75%，主要是因为食物供应不足。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中Kottyan所说的“It’s tough to lose an animal who has been such a welcome presence at our zoo for three decades. This bird was incredibly important to the continued existence of African penguins throughout the world.(失去一只在我们动物园如此受欢迎了三十年的动物，我们很难过。这种鸟对非洲企鹅在世界各地的生存至关重要)”可知，Kottyan认为失去一只在该动物园受欢迎了三十年的动物是很痛苦的，这只鸟对非洲企鹅在世界各地的生存至关重要。由此可以推断，Kottyan对Mr. Greedy的评价很高。故选D项。 C For many travel isn’t just about the destination — it’s about making the most of the journey. However, for a lot of people, the journey is often ruined by an uncomfortable experience often accompanied by vomiting (呕吐), known as motion sickness. If you’ve ever felt the unwelcome urge to vomit while reading or using your device in a moving vehicle, you’re not alone. Recognizing this common issue, Apple has stepped up to offer a solution: the Vehicle Motion Cues feature (功能) for iPhones and iPads. Motion sickness occurs when there is a disconnect between what your eyes see and what your body feels. When you’re in a moving vehicle, your body senses motion through its vestibular system (the inner ear), but if your eyes are focused on a still screen that doesn’t reflect this movement, the brain receives mixed signals. This sensory (感官的) conflict can lead to dizziness (头晕), nausea, and overall discomfort — symptoms (症状) all too familiar to motion sickness sufferers. Apple’s new Vehicle Motion Cues feature is designed to bridge this gap and bring relief to those likely to experience motion sickness. This feature works by showing animated (动画的) dots around your screen, which move at the same time and speed as the motion of your vehicle. These moving cues help keep the motion your body feels in agreement with what your eyes see, effectively reducing the sensory mismatch that causes motion sickness. By matching the visual input with the physical sensations of motion, your brain is less likely to experience the confusion that leads to sickness. Early reports and user feedback (反馈) indicate that Vehicle Motion Cues is receiving high praise for its effectiveness. So next time you embark on a journey, whether short or long, remember that Apple’s got your back — or rather, your brain - helping you make the most of every mile with ease and comfort. 8. Which type of people can be interested in Vehicle Motion Cues? A. Frequent travelers. B. Book lovers. C. Vehicle operators. D. Sport scientists. 9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The principle of Apple’s new design. B. The cause of motion sickness. C. The functions of Apples new design. D. The symptoms of motion sickness. 10. By displaying animated dots around the screen, Apple's Vehicle Motion Cues is able to _____. A. ease sensory conflicts in the brain B. tell the mismatched physical sensations C. balance the movement of our eyes and body D. increase the effectiveness of vehicle motion 11. Which can be the best title of the passage? A. Make the Most of Your Journey: Apple Bridges the. Gap B. Find the Magic of a Moving Vehicle: Apple’s Got! Your Back C. Enjoy Your Reading: Apple Offers a Revolutionary Solution D. Say Goodbye to Motion Sickness: Apple Introduces Its New Design 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了晕车的现象、原因以及苹果公司针对这一问题在iPhone和iPad上推出的“车辆运动提示”功能，旨在解释这一新功能的工作原理及其对用户的益处。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Apple’s new Vehicle Motion Cues feature is designed to bridge this gap and bring relief to those likely to experience motion sickness.(苹果公司新推出的车辆运动提示功能旨在弥合这一差距，为那些容易晕车的人带来缓解。)”可知，苹果公司为解决晕车问题推出的车辆运动提示功能。对于经常旅行的人来说，他们在旅途中更容易受到晕车的困扰，而这个功能可以帮助他们缓解晕车症状，让旅途更加舒适，所以频繁旅行者会对该功能感兴趣。故选A。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Motion sickness occurs when there is a disconnect between what your eyes see and what your body feels. When you’re in a moving vehicle, your body senses motion through its vestibular system (the inner ear), but if your eyes are focused on a still screen that doesn’t reflect this movement, the brain receives mixed signals. This sensory (感官的) conflict can lead to dizziness (头晕), nausea, and overall discomfort — symptoms (症状) all too familiar to motion sickness sufferers.(当你的眼睛所看到的与身体所感觉到的不一致时，就会产生晕车现象。当你身处移动的交通工具中时，你的身体会通过前庭系统感知运动，但如果你的眼睛聚焦在一个静止的屏幕上，而这个屏幕并未反映出这种运动，大脑就会接收到混杂的信号。这种感官上的冲突会导致头晕、恶心以及全身不适——这些都是晕车患者再熟悉不过的症状了。)”可知，第二段开头提到什么情况下会产生晕车现象。随后详细解释了在移动的交通工具中，身体通过前庭系统感知运动，而眼睛聚焦静止屏幕会使大脑接收混杂信号，从而引发晕车的过程。所以这一段主要是在讲述晕车的原因。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“This feature works by showing animated(动画的) dots around your screen, which move at the same time and speed as the motion of your vehicle. These moving cues help keep the motion your body feels in agreement with what your eyes see, effectively reducing the sensory mismatch that causes motion sickness.(该功能的工作原理是在屏幕周围显示一些动画小圆点，这些小圆点会与你所在交通工具的运动同时且同速移动。这些移动的提示有助于让身体感觉到的运动与眼睛看到的保持一致，从而有效减少导致晕车的感官上的不一致情况。)”可知，通过在屏幕周围显示动画小圆点，能够减少大脑中导致晕车的感官冲突。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章开篇指出晕车问题会破坏旅途体验这一常见现象，接着介绍了晕车产生的原因，随后重点阐述了苹果公司针对晕车问题推出的车辆运动提示功能，包括其工作原理以及早期反馈显示的有效性等内容，整体都是围绕苹果公司推出的新设计来帮助人们告别晕车展开的。选项D“Say Goodbye to Motion Sickness: Apple Introduces Its New Design(告别晕车：苹果推出其新设计)”与此相符。故选D。 D A few days ago, I watched a video of myself talking in perfect Chinese. I’ve been studying the language on and off for only a few years, and I’m far from fluent. But there I was, pronouncing each character just as a native speaker would. “My favorite food is sushi,” I said — wo zui xihuan de shiwu shi shousi. I’d created the video using software from a Los Angeles-based artificial-intelligence start-up called HeyGen. The technology, which only needs a single selfie and a script to generate deepfake videos of real people “saying” almost anything, is a testament (证明) to the advancements in AI language tools. This got me thinking about the declining interest in language learning with fewer students enrolling in foreign language courses and the decrease of English proficiency among young people in some places. AI translation, integrated into social media and messaging platforms, seems to be everywhere. Even language-learning apps are using AI-generated content in their marketing. However, language translation is an art rather than a science. Something enormous will be lost in exchange for that convenience. As Anne, a Chinese translator said, “Building a ladder between widely different languages, such as Chinese and English, is sometimes as difficult as a doctor building a bridge in a patient’s heart,” Language learning fosters cultural competency, a skill that AI cannot simply copy. Learning a different way to speak, read, and write helps people discover new ways to see the world. No machine can replace such a profound human experience. Deborah Cohn, a language professor, emphasizes that language learning is actually about understanding and connecting with different cultures; Instead of abandoning language courses in favor of AI, some educators advocate for emphasizing the intercultural aspects of language learning. Paula Krebs of the MLA points out that even with a “universal translator”, sometimes, the greater meaning of people’s utterance (言辞) remains a mystery. In essence, while AI language tools offer convenience, they lack the depth and cultural insight that comes from human language learning. The challenge and beauty of learning a language are in understanding the cultural tapestry (织锦) that weaves through words, something AI has yet to achieve. 12. Why does the author give the example in paragraph 1? A. To promote the language software. B. To show off his Chinese language skills. C. To prove learning a language is a wasted effort. D. To encourage critical thinking about AI language tools. 13. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. AI translation deserves more attention. B. Language apps play a key role in marketing. C. Language translation is far beyond technology. D. Learning a different language is an uphill battle. 14. What is the key benefit of learning a language according to the passage? A. Better digital literacy. B. Improved translation skills. C. Deeper cultural confidence. D. Effective intercultural interaction. 15. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. AI language tools offer convenience. B. AI facilitates language learning in terms of culture. C. AI is far from perfect in helping language understanding. D. AI has achieved success in the development of language learning tools. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人工智能语言工具的便利性与语言学习的文化深度之间的差异，作者引导我们对人工智能语言工具进行批判性思考然后得出结论：人工智能在帮助语言理解方面远非完美。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“A few days ago, I watched a video of myself talking in perfect Chinese. I’ve been studying the language on and off for only a few years, and I’m far from fluent. But there I was, pronouncing each character just as a native speaker would. ‘My favorite food is sushi,’ I said — wo zui xihuan de shiwu shi shousi.(几天前，我看了一段我自己说一口流利汉语的视频。我断断续续地学习这门语言才几年，还远谈不上流利。但我就这样，每个字的发音就像母语人士一样。‘我最喜欢的食物是寿司，’我说——我最喜欢吃寿司。)”以及下文，尤其是最后一段中“In essence, while AI language tools offer convenience, they lack the depth and cultural insight that comes from human language learning.(从本质上讲，虽然人工智能语言工具提供了便利，但它们缺乏人类语言学习所带来的深度和文化洞察力。)”可知，文章第一段以作者自己的体验引出AI语言工具，然后鼓励对AI语言工具进行批判性思考。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段中“However, language translation is an art rather than a science. Something enormous will be lost in exchange for that convenience.(然而，语言翻译是一门艺术，而不是一门科学。为了换取这种便利，将失去一些巨大的东西。)”以及“Building a ladder between widely different languages, such as Chinese and English, is sometimes as difficult as a doctor building a bridge in a patient’s heart,(在广泛不同的语言（如中文和英文）之间建立一个阶梯，有时就像医生在病人心中架起一座桥梁一样困难，)”可知，语言翻译并不是技术能解决的问题，它远远超出了技术范畴。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段中“Deborah Cohn, a language professor, emphasizes that language learning is actually about understanding and connecting with different cultures; Instead of abandoning language courses in favor of Al, some educators advocate for emphasizing the intercultural aspects of language learning. (语言教授黛博拉·科恩强调，语言学习实际上是关于理解和联系不同的文化；一些教育工作者主张强调语言学习的跨文化方面，而不是放弃语言课程而选择人工智能。)”可知，学习语言的主要好处是有效的跨文化互动。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“In essence, while AI language tools offer convenience, they lack the depth and cultural insight that comes from human language learning. The challenge and beauty of learning a language are in understanding the cultural tapestry(织锦)that weaves through words, something AI has yet to achieve.(本质上，虽然人工智能语言工具提供了便利，但它们缺乏人类语言学习的深度和文化洞察力。学习一门语言的挑战和美妙之处在于理解通过单词编织的文化挂毯，这是人工智能尚未实现的。)”可知，作者在最后一段表明人工智能在帮助语言理解方面远非完美，因为人工智能语言工具缺乏人类语言学习的深度和文化洞察力。故选C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。 Your mental health influences how you think, feel, and behave in daily life. It also affects your ability to deal with stress, overcome challenges, build relationships, and recover from life’s setbacks and hardships. Having solid mental health doesn’t mean that you never go through bad times or experience emotional problems. We all go through disappointments, loss and change. These are normal parts of life. ___16___ Just as physically healthy people are better able to bounce back from illness or injury, people with strong mental health are better able to bounce back from adversity （逆境）, and stress. This ability is called resilience （适应力）. People who are emotionally and mentally resilient have the tools for dealing with difficult situations and maintaining a positive outlook. ___17___ Their resilience also makes them less afraid of new experiences and an uncertain future. Even when they don’t immediately know how a problem will be solved, they’re hopeful that a solution will eventually be found. Anyone can suffer from mental or emotional health problems over a lifetime; most of us will. Therefore, mental health problems are quite common. ___18___ We ignore the emotional messages that tell us something is wrong and try toughing it out by distracting （使分心） ourselves. We bottle up our problems in the hope that others won’t notice. ___19___ Or we simply give up—telling ourselves this is “just the way we are.” ___20___ There are practices you can adopt to lift your mood, become more resilient, and enjoy life more. But just as it requires effort to build and maintain physical health, so it does with mental health. We have to work harder these days to ensure strong mental health, simply because there are so many ways that life has a bad effect on our emotional well-being. A. The good news is that you don’t have to feel bad. B. Besides, developing mental strength is a lifelong journey. C. However, they can still cause sadness, anxiety, and stress. D. We hope our situation will eventually improve on its own. E. However, many of us make no effort to improve our situation. F. Strong mental health isn’t just the absence of mental health problems. G.

His father said, “All set, boy?” and Jeremy nodded, picking up his gun with awkward gloved hands. His father pushed open the door and they went out into the freezing dawn together. Ordinarily Jeremy would take out his camera to record the scenery, but not this morning. This was the morning, particularly sacred, when 14-year-old Jeremy would go duck hunting for the first time. However, he hated it, and had hated the whole idea since his father bought him a gun. But he was determined to go through with it. He loved his father, and wanted his approval more than anything in the world. They came to a narrow and hidden place facing the bay. Jeremy sat down nervously and waited. To reduce fear, he took a picture of his father against the clean water. Then he put the camera hurriedly on the grass and picked up his gun. Jeremy got his gun ready. “I'll let you shoot first,” his father said, loading his own gun. “You know, I've been waiting for a long time for this day. Just the two of us..."He broke off, bending forward, eyes narrowed. “There's a small flight heading this way now. Keep your head down. I'll give you the word.” The sun came out. Jeremy could see everything clearly: his father's face, tense and eager; the white frost on the gun. His heart was beating wildly. He prayed, “Don't let them come, please!” But they kept coming. "Four black,” his father said. “One mallard.” High above, Jeremy heard the pulsing whistle of wings as the flight began to circle. The mallard was leading, his feet dropping down, reaching for the silver-colored water. Closer, closer... “Get set,” his father whispered. “Now!” cried Jeremy's father. “Take them!” Jeremy felt his body obey. He stood up, holding the gun. In the same instant, the wild ducks saw the gunners and flew. “Shoot!” said something sharply in Jeremy's brain. But up went the mallard higher still, until suddenly he caught the full force of the wind and flew away, out of range. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； Paragraph 1: His father asked in a controlled voice, “Why didn't you shoot?” __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: To Jeremy's surprise his father was handing the camera to him. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: His father asked in a controlled voice, “Why didn't you shoot?” Judging from his expression , it was evident that he was about to explode . Jeremy dropped his head down, tense and speechless. At the thought of losing his father’s approval, a sense of failure overcome him and surged through him , tears falling onto the silent ground. “ Son , tell me what’s the matter?” murmured the father , gathering Jeremy into his arms “You like duck hunting, don’t you?” . Jeremy explained that he didn’t like hunting at all and how exciting it was to stroll with him and take photos as usual, then up went the boy’s head ,through his misty eyes , he witnessed his father turning and leaving. Paragraph 2: To Jeremy's surprise, his father was handing the camera to him. “Sorry, I thought you were fond of hunting just like me.” apologized the father, putting the camera on the boy’s palms. Eyes glinting and lips curving into a big smile, the boy was jumping with joy, taking a picture of his father and the charming scenery. Having taking away the gun , the father bathed in the warm glow of radiant sunshine. He could hear the chirps of the birds and laughter from his son. It suddenly dawned on him that he was full of himself in showing his love to his son. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了14岁的Jeremy第一次去猎鸭，但是Jeremy讨厌打猎，喜欢摄影。为了不让父亲失望，Jeremy还是去了，但是不忍心开枪。最终Jeremy向父亲坦白自己喜欢摄影，父亲也理解了Jeremy。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他的父亲控制着声音问道：‘你为什么不开枪？’”可知，第一段可描写面对父亲的责备，Jeremy的反应，Jeremy选择向父亲坦白自己喜欢摄影。 ②由第二段首句内容“令Jeremy吃惊的是，他的父亲正把相机递给他。”可知，第二段可描写父亲理解了Jeremy，支持他摄影。 2.续写线索：父亲责备——Jeremy坦白——父亲理解——Jeremy高兴地摄影——父亲感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 淹没：overcome / overwhelm 看见：witness/ see 充满：be full of / be filled with 情绪类 显然：evident /obvious 以……为骄傲：be fond of / take pride in 【点睛】[高分句型1] Judging from his expression, it was evident that he was about to explode.
