B In Sichuan Province,long-time resident French artist Vincent Cazeneuve,is integrating traditional Chinese lacquerware (skills with techniques taken from Western modern art into his creations. Born in Toulouse,Vincent has been living in southwest China for more than a decade.With the influence of French artists Jean Dunand and Gaston Suisse,his journey to unravel the secrets of Chinese lacquerware and his fascination for lacquer art started."I studied their artworks and often wondered why they used Chinese lacquer.In those days,lacquer could not be found in France."said the artist. Native to Asia,lacquer trees are planted and tapped for their liquid.It is almost impossible to find lacquer trees in Europe.So,instead of continually transporting lacquer back to France,Vincent chose to send himself to China. Having explored his connections with lacquer over the years,the artist also learned a range of techniques,which he integrated into his own artworks.To dive deep into the art of lacquerware, Vincent traveled to Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province,where lacquer craftsmanship is famous.In fact,he actually met two lacquerware craftsmen,who taught him almost everything they knew. "I used to know about lacquerware of Yi just by looking at it.But I had never seen the Yi people before.I have never heard their language.I've never seen their villages.It's only when I came here that I felt the power of their culture."said Vincent. This field trip gave the artist new inspiration for his exhibition.After seeing Vincent's exhibition, Liu Guanzhong,a professor at the School of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University said,"What he presents is China in his eyes.Vincent has explored a path:the ideas of a modern artist,but rooting the ancient skills in modern life.He finds new soil for an old seed to bloom into a new flower." 汕头市2024一2025学年度普通高中毕业班教学质量监测高三英语第2页（共8页） 24.What is Vincent devoted to according to the text?

D.It explored the root of art. C When you're bored,do you start scanning through short videos?That might not ease your boredom.According to a recent study,switching between videos or fast-forwarding through them can bore you even more. Boredom is an uncomfortable emotion which can develop when a situation lacks newness or meaning.But it serves a purpose.Boredom signals that there is something more pleasurable to do. This can motivate people to explore their environment and stop investing time in an activity that has little to offer. Katy Y.Y.Tam,from the University of Toronto Scarborough in Canada,is a scientist and phychologist.In 2021,Tam developed a theory called the "Boredom Feedback Model",stating that boredom happens when your attention shifts from one thing to another.This type of boredom can happen when people start watching one online video,then,fast-forward or skip to the next one. Tam ran experiments with more than 1,200 people,and showed that people switched to new videos when they were bored.These people believed switching videos would make them less bored. But the result was just the opposite. In one experiment,people watched a single video for 10 minutes.Next,scientists asked them to watch seven shorter videos,with the ability to skip to the next.On average,people skipped eight times.When skipping around,people reported feeling more bored,less satisfied,and less engaged than when they fully watched a single video. Growing evidence shows that boredom is on the rise.Bored people often turn to their phones, but report being more bored.Psychology professor Michael Inzlicht,who worked on the study with Tam,said he had been fascinated by rising boredom in recent years.He thought it could be due to a lack of concentration."When you're absorbed,you don't feel bored.When your attention is spread, you're almost by definition not satisfied,"Inzlicht said. 28.What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A.Signals of boredom. B.A positive aspect of boredom. C.The purpose of the experiments. D.Motivations of the experiments. 汕头市2024一2025学年度普通高中毕业班教学质量监测高三英语第3页（共8页) 29.According to the "Boredom Feedback Model",what causes boredom? A.Mind-engaging tasks. B.Changing focus constantly. C.Watching online videos D.Time-consuming activities 30.What would people generally expect when skipping videos? A.Boredom would be killed B.Self-satisfaction would be achieved. C.Attention would be enhanced. D.More information would be obtained. 31.According to Michael Inzlicht,which of the following behavior would help avoid boredom? A.Limiting the time of screen use. B.Aimlessly adopting different activities. C.Engaging in attention-demanding tasks. D.Frequently shifting learning subjects in a short time. D Artificial intelligence can help accurately map and track penguin colonies in Antarctica by analysing tourist photos."Right now,everyone has a camera in their pocket,and so the amount of data being collected around the world is incredible,"says Heather Lynch at Stony Brook University in New York. Haoyu Wu at Stony Brook University and his colleagues,including Lynch,used an AI tool to highlight Adelie penguins in photographs taken by tourists or scientists on the ground.With guidance from a human expert,the AI tool was able to automatically identify and outline entire colonies in photos.This semi-automated method is much faster than doing everything manually ( because the AI tool takes just 5 to 10 seconds per image,compared with a person taking I to 2 minutes.The team also created a 3D digital model of the Antarctic landscape using satellite imagery and data.By identifying landscape details in the tourist pictures,the researchers could place the photographer,then the penguin colony,accurately within the 3D model. This transformation of ground photos into a bird's-eye view allows researchers to track how penguin colonies change in location and population size over time,which could prove especially helpful in remote regions of the world.Such tracking is important because Adelie penguins are considered a sentinel species,meaning shifts in their population are an indicator of climate change. The Al-assisted technique can also employ historical imagery to track phenomena such as glacier changes that"occur very slowly and may only be evident by looking across decades of time",says Lynch. But researchers remain divided over the impacts of Antarctic tourism-the two large Adelie penguin groups evaluated by the researchers are often visited by tour ships."Some are worried that, by encouraging tourists to do citizen science,we are justifying their trips,which will be used by the cruise(游轮)companies to sell more tickets,”says Fretwell.. 32.Where did the research data come from? A.Expert data base. B.Maps marked by AI. C.3D digital model. D.Images shot by tourists 汕头市2024一2025学年度普通高中毕业班教学质量监测高三英语第4页（共8页） 33.What role did AI play in highlighting Adelie penguins? A.It served as an assistant. B.It acted as a predictor. C.It replaced the human experts. D.It conducted the entire research. 34.Why did the reseachers track the changes of Adelie penguin colonies? A.To gather data on tourism B.To monitor penguin behaviors. C.To examine the effects of Al. D.To further study the climate change. 35 Which of the following best describes researchers'attitudes towards Antarctic tourism? A.Unclear. B.Controversial. C.Indifferent. D.Supportive. 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。 Beating Your Test Anxiety It's that time of year again for high school students.36 It's safe to say that,while no one looks forward to testing,those who suffer from test anxiety can feel overwhelmed by this pressure-filled schedule.To help manage this anxiety,let's start with some strategies Firstly,remind yourself that some level of anxiety is normal,and feeling a little stressed can actually improve your performance.Encourage yourself with self-statements like"I can handle this." _37 Use positive imagery to visualize yourself successfully completing the exam.Furthermore, being well-prepared is the key,so organize your study material and take time over several days,or even weeks,to review it.Avoid cramming right before the exam,as this can heighten anxiety. 38 Get good sleep,not just the night before the exam.It can help you strengthen the memories you created during study time. 39 Budget your time and pace yourself so you have adequate time to finish the test.

When I started to feel really tired,I told myself I just needed to work harder and get more organized.But something was wrong.I was very tired and my body hurt all over.My smart watch kept buzzing(嗡嗡声)，telling me my heart was beating too fast.I had tried hard to be healthy一I stopped drinking,changed my diet,and lost weight.I thought things would get better,but they didn't. Finally,I went to a doctor."How's your stress?"the doctor asked.I didn't think I was very stressed,but tests showed I had a disease called Graves'disease,which can get worse because of stress. The next day,I ran into an old friend,Cindy.We hadn't seen each other for a while,and Cindy looked at me with concern."You look tired.I don't know how you are doing,but you seems to be wearing out..” "Things have been a bit crazy lately,"I admitted. "Maybe it's time to take a break,"Cindy suggested.As we said goodbye,she added,"It was good to see you.You've lost weight;make sure you take care of yourself."She waved and left. Reflecting on my previous behavior,I realized I had been missing the simple pleasures in life- the little but meaningful things that help me relax and recharge,like bonding with my family, engaging in community activities to help those in need,interacting with friends and visiting my favorite bookstore. Days later,Cindy called and asked,"There's a charity event dedicated to helping the left-behind children and elderly people who live alone in our community this weekend.Would you like to go with me and offer your help?" 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I was hesitant at first,but I decided to give it a try.
