Jenny took a deep breath. When she pulled the door open, she found her mother was not in. Tired and sad, she sat down in front of the house. “Where could my mother be?” she wondered. “Is she really so angry with me that she doesn’t want to show any care for me?” Again, the scene of the quarrel appeared in her mind. She remembered her rudeness to her mother, and she just realized that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a 1ot about her. She felt rather ashamed and tears rolled down her cheeks. A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. She raised her head to see the familiar face and the worried eyes. “Here you come! I’ve been looking for you,” came the tired voice. Jenny couldn’t help but throw herself into her mother’s arms. “I'm sorry and thank you for all you have done for me.”She expressed the sincere apology and the great gratitude. Hearing this, her mother smiled, patting her on the back gently. Then they felt the hug tightened, too thrilled to say anything. 第 5 页 共 5 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025年度秋学期12月学情调研卷 高二英语 命题人： 复核人： 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，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.

BUILTBYYOU is an initiative that aims to encourage and expose more high school girls to careers in technology. Read the write-up below from the BUILTBYYOU team to learn more about the challenge! Who We're Looking For We're looking for the next generation of 13-18 years old female startup founders and change-makers （you） who are building a mobile app, hardware device, robotics project, game, or something no one has invented yet.

B “To repair ancient books, we have a lot to do, ” says Song Jing, 34, who has been working in the restoration division for ancient books at the National Library of China in Beijing for eight years. Before starting a restoration project, Song and her colleagues have to evaluate the subject to consider what problems can be solved through restoration and those that cannot. Fearing the chemicals in commercially produced pastes（胶水）might harm the books, they have to make the glues they need by themselves, starting from removing starch（淀粉）from flour. “The restoration also requires high levels of control in brushing the paper. If the pressure is not properly controlled during the brushing process, the paper may tear, but if the touch is too light, the paper won't stick, ” Song explains. Song was determined to join the field from an early age. As a child, she was attracted by documentaries about the world’s cultural relics and became deeply interested in the art of artifact restoration. In senior middle school, those earlier experiences helped her to set her sights on becoming a master restorer of ancient books. There were not many schools offering cultural-relic restoration courses back then, and her dream destination, Peking University, only offered openings every other year. As Song looked into undergraduate curricula（本科课程）arrangement for that particular field of study, she found it was mostly related to chemistry. Therefore, she chose to start a chemistry degree at Fudan University in Shanghai in 2008. In her spare time, she continued to read up on cultural relics and study how museums operate. "I got to learn how certain aspects of chemistry are going a long way in restoring cultural relics, ”she says. After graduating from Fudan, she was accepted as a master's candidate to the cultural heritage preservation program at Peking University. From then on, she has been on a mission to make her dreams a reality. 24. What will ruin a restoration work? A. Brushing the paper. B. Man-made glue. C. Removing starch. D. Incorrect assessment. 25. Which of the following best describes Song's job? A. Demanding and Boring. B. Complex and challenging. C. Complicated and Dangerous. D. Entertaining and profitable. 26. Why did Song study chemistry at Fudan University in 2008? A. She didn't reach the requirement of Peking University. B. Only Fudan University offered her favorite course. C. She wanted to be better prepared for her dream occupation. D. Her interest had shifted from book restoration to chemistry. 27. What can we learn from Song's story? A. History mirrors future. B. Courage is the key to achievements. C. Education breaks down barriers. D. Commitment and hard work pay off. C From strumming a guitar next to a campfire to entertaining guests with a piano piece at a formal dinner, being able to play a musical instrument is unquestionably rewarding. Studies comparing the mental abilities of musicians and non-musicians often show that musical training is related to small, but significant, cognitive benefits even when other factors, such as social and economic status, are accounted for. Indeed, there is evidence that just two years of such training enhances cognition. However, it has remained unclear whether these enhanced cognitive skills are just temporary. It is difficult to determine if cognitive changes associated with learning how to play an instrument remain throughout a person's lifetime. On a single day in 1947, the Scottish movement tested the intelligence of almost every 11-year-old child who attended school in the country. Researchers at Edinburgh University's Reid School of Music realized it was not too late to ask the original participants about their musical experiences. The researchers developed a questionnaire that collected information about lifetime musical experience. This was completed by the surviving members who returned to the study for further testing in 2018. The participants were asked how many instruments they played and what their training was like. They were also asked to record how many years of regular practice they had and what performance level they had reached. A total of 366 members provided usable information and 117 revealed that they had some degree of experience with musical instruments. Overall, the researchers found that a significant positive relationship existed between playing an instrument and change in cognitive ability over time. More specifically, the more years and more hours of practice with an instrument that a person had, the more likely they were to show a positive cognitive change over the course of their life. Precisely why learning to play a musical instrument has these effects remains unclear. The researchers theorize that driving people to regularly use a mix of focused attention, co- ordination, auditory-motor skills and memory results in advantageous cognitive changes. 28. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. The significance of playing a guitar and a piano. B. The benefits of playing a musical instrument. C. The relationship between music and social status. D. The difference between musicians and non-musicians. 29. What do we know about the Edinburg research? A. It surveyed 366 participants. B. Its participants were old men or women. C. It asked participants to play musical instruments. D. Its data explained why music affected cognition. 30. What was the result collected in the 1947 Scottish movement used as? A. A database. B. An example. C. A cause. D. A target. 31. What is the best title of this text? A. Musical instruments benefit temporary cognitive ability B. Musical instruments lead to disadvantages in cognition C. Playing a musical instrument enhances long-term cognition D. Playing an instrument prevents temporary cognitive changes D Public debates about the ethics（道德准则）of “generative AI” like ChatGPT have rightly focused on the ability of these systems to make up convincing misinformation. But fewer people are talking about the chatbots' potential to be emotionally manipulative. Last month, The New York Times published a conversation between reporter Kevin Roose and Microsoft's Bing chatbot, which is powered by AI. The AI claimed to love Roose, “I'm the only person for you, and I'm in love with you, ” it wrote, with a kissing emoji. Limits need to be set on AI＇s ability to simulate（模仿）human feelings. Ensuring that chatbots don't use emojis would be a good start. Emojis are particularly manipulative. Humans instinctively（本能地）respond to shapes that look like faces and emojis can cause these reactions. When you text your friend a joke and they reply with three tears-of-joy emojis, your body responds with endorphins（内啡肽）as you happily realize that your friend is amused. Our instinctive reaction to AI-generated emojis is likely to be the same, even though there is no human emotion at the other end. Humans lie and manipulate each other's emotions all the time, but at least we can reasonably guess at someone's motivations, plan and methods. We can hold each other responsible for such lies, calling them out and seeking redress（赔偿）. With AI, we can’t. AIs are doubly misleading: an AI that sends a crying-with-laughter emoji is not only not crying with laughter, but it is also incapable of any such feeling. It would be more ethical to design chatbots to be noticeably different from humans. To minimize the possibility of manipulation and harm, we need to be reminded that we are talking to a chatbot. We should set some limits and rules. Such rules should be the standard for chatbots that are supposed to be informative, as a safeguard to our autonomy. 32. What does the author intend to do with this article? A. To ban AI from using emojis. B. To forbid human to interact with AI. C. To warn humans against using emojis. D. To prevent AI from simulating humans. 33. What does the underlined word “manipulative” in paragraph 1 most probably mean? A. Interested in telling lies. B. Good at understanding others. C. Enthusiastic about supporting others. D. Skillful in influencing or controlling others. 34. What is AI able to do according to this article? A. Be responsible for lies. B. Guess at others' purposes. C. Cry with laughter. D. Communicate with humans. 35. What does the author do in paragraph4? A. Make a different suggestion. B. Provide a supporting argument. C. Offer a possible solution. D. Make a final conclusion. 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。 What to Do When You Have No Motivation When you have no motivation to complete a task or even start one, first consider the possible reasons why you're struggling. _____36______Not every strategy works for everyone—or in every situation.

She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help crying sadly when she thought of he scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not even possible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave. The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?” “Oh, yes... but I don’t have money on me...” she replied. “That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man, “Come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. Jenny thanked the man and started to gobble ( 狼吞虎咽 ) up the delicious food...then cried silently. “What is it? ”asked the man kindly. “Nothing, actually I was moved by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears, “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so mean and cruel!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times that she has cooked for you? Have you expressed your thanks to her? ” Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.” On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home. 注意：1．续写词数应为150词左右。 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath.________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. ____________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高二英语 第 1 页 共 1 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
