B When Meng Jintao was a child,power outages in his rural homctown sparked his curiosity:Why can't we store electricity during regular times and usc it when the power gocs out? Now 29,Meng has turned this childhood curiosity into reality with his advanced iron-based flow energy storage system.Distinguished by its massive storage cupacity,high safety stadards,d long- term endurance,this technology represents a major advancement in cnorgy storage. In 2013,Meng began his studies at llefci University of Teclmology in Anhui,East Chin, 【高二月考·英语第3页（共8）】 10092B majoring in new energy materials and devices.During his university years,he traveled to Qinghai and Gansu provinces in Northwest China for research,where he observed the initial successes of wind and solar power projects.However,he learned from power station staff that much of the energy generated by wind turbines was unstable and could not be effectively used.It was during this period that Meng recognized the urgent need for advanced storage solutions to stabilize energy supply and release it steadily to the grid,thereby increasing efficiency.This realization led him to develop the iron-based now energy storage system. "This system functions like a large power bank for cities,"he explained.According to Meng, while lithium (batteries are well-established,there is a growing need for a more affordable and safer storage solution.He chose iron for its cost-efficiency and the abundant availability of iron resources in China.Iron-based flow energy storage systems are also more economical and use water as a solution,making them fire-resistant and safer. In 2020,while pursuing his master's degree at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Meng achieved a significant milestone by successfully testing the first iron-based flow battery in his lab."Seeing the battery model start its charging and discharging cycles was a moment of endless pride,"he said,"with China announcing its double carbon goals,I wanted to transform my research into a langible product that could both benefit the country and make a difference. Through continuous adjustments,accurate research,and determined experimentation,Meng and his team completed their first kilowalt-level energy storage system in 2021,suitable for everyday use. "I want to keep improving the technology to make energy storage safer and more cost-effective,both in China and worldwide,"he said. 24.What can we know about Meng Jinglao?

A.From Curiosity to Creation:Meng Jintao's Journey in Energy Storage B.Meng Jintao:Leading Figure in Power Generation Technology C.Lithium vs.Iron:The Ongoing Battle for Better Energy Storage Solution D.The Future of Renewable Energy:Strengths and Weaknesses C Shortly after ChatGPT was released,in early 2023,a writer named Jason Colavito posted on social media that a computer was replacing him with Al,because it could write content for free.But he is also wanted-at a small amount of his normal rate-to 'rewrite'the Al-generated text.This is not the first time that technology has slashed salaries instead of jobs,and the real problem is not AI. The problem is a culture that devalues human labor. With the release of new AI applications discussions about the future of work are back in full force.A recent study looked at professions in the United States,from poets to financial managers, predicting the 19 percent will soon lose 50 percent of their tasks to AI.But our precious experience with suggests it's much more complicated than technology simply replacing human work. In 2019,an independent research organization Data Society studied how automation is being integrated in farm management and grocery stores.Counter to the popular belief that the technology 【高二月考·英语第4页（共8页）】 10092B was reducing the need for human labor,researchers Alexandra Mateescu and Madeleine Clare Elish discovered that introducing new devices was mostly changing the nature of the work.For example, automated checkout machines kept employees busy,because now they were assisting confused customers,troubleshooting machines,and laking on other lasks to ensure their smooth operation in the store.Most importantly,Mateescu and Elish discovered that the new tasks,which helped accommodate and employ the automated'technology,were often undervalued or even invisible. The important thing to understand is that the current deskilling and devaluing of labor isn't because the robots are coming for us.It's a cultural problem.As jobs get disrupted (and people's livelihoods are threatened,it's easy to point fingers at technology as the unavoidable reason, whether you're an expert or an employer.But what is actually to blame is a sociely that is willing to lel workers be mistreated.It's a big thing to change,but it's not set in stone.And that's the real 'robots and jobs'conversation we need to be having. 28.Why did a writer named Jason Colavito post on social media about Al? A.To share his life. B.To finish tasks. C.To support the AI. D.To complain about Al. 29.What can be inferred from Mateescu and Elish's findings? A.Humans are still needed to deal with Al-generated problems. B.Humans cannot understand the real value of their own jobs. C.New advanced devices are being integrated in varicus jobs. D.Automated technology is taking away almost all jobs. 30.Why do people devalue labor? A.Living pressure. B.Technological advances. C.Cultural factors. D.Unemployment issues. 31.In which part of a newspaper may you read this passage? A.Travel. B.Technology. C.Health. D.Medicine. D "Big Tree,"an old southern live oak,sits in a park just outside Orlando's business district.It's been struck by lightning at least three times and has survived many hurricanes-and it grew from a seed around the same time Juan Ponce de Leon's ship first landed on Florida's eastern coast. Over 400 years old,the tree is so impressive that members of a Michigan-based nonprofit llew to Orlando in February to climb the tree and cut branches and leaves.The researchers are now in the midst of the process to grow new roots from the cuttings.The reason:To clone the historic tree,store its DNA and plant potentially thousands of cloned trees across the Southeast. In order to clone an ancient tree,researchers must climb it to find a piece of live tissue.The freshly cut branches and leaves are taken to the group's lab in Michigan,where,in climate-controlled rooms,researchers work to promote growth from the cuttings. The most common method is by rooted cuttings.In this method,a tip of a tree's branch is dipped (施)into hormones,placed into a foam plug(泡沫塞)and set inside a mist room.Then,the waiting begins.A sign of life can take several months to a year to show,if one comes at all.In another method called tissue culture,researchers take a quarter-inch of branch,dip it into a mixture made up of a dozen hormones and other chemicals,seal (it in a container and wait to see whether it will grow roots. Experis lauded the group for its creative methods and reproduction in large numbers,but they doubt whether the clones will grow as the originals do.Scolt Merkle,a professor of forest biology at the University of Georgia,said,"There are so many variables that there's no certainty that they will be able to survive and perform better than other trees that you plant on the same land".He added that the age of historic trees makes them difficult to study."I think it's a great thing that they're doing... 【高二月考·英语第5页（共8页）】 10092B I just don't know how realistic it is. 32.According to the passage,what do the researchers aim to do? A.To study the reason for the survival of "Big Tree". B.To save thousands of trees across the Southeast. C.To analyse the effects of climate on tree growth. D.To clone an ancient tree from its original. 33.What do we know about the two methods mentioned in paragraph 4? A.Tissue culture is the most frequently used method. B.There is a chance that the branch will fail to grow roots. C.In the first method the live tissue is sealed in a container. D.A mixture of hormones and other chemicals is needed in both methods. 34.What does the underlined word "lauded"in paragraph 5 mean? A.Praised. B.Met. C.Joined. D.Contacted. 35.What's Scott Merkle's attitude to the group's work? A.Doubtful. B.Positive. C.Cautious. D.Unclear. 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。 Tidying your desk,watering your plants or folding laundry-these household chores are hardly the height of pleasure.But we often find ourselves seeking pleasure and comfort in small repetitive tasks.Psychologists suggest there are many potential mechanisms (that might explain the perfect pleasure of puttering(慢条斯理地做)._36 Pleasant distractions On the surface level,puttering may be useful because it occupies the mind,so that we give fewer resources to the things that are worrying us.37 People completing these small tasks often report a significantly belter mood.This included reduced nervousness and even a sense of "inspiration",as if the immersion in the simple activity had refreshed their minds. 38 Unlike other distracting activities-such as playing computer games or watching trashy TV- puttering also has the advantage of being positive and useful,increasing our "perceived control". When we feel anxious,a sense of helplessness can heighten the physiological stress response, increasing levels of hormones.39 But research suggests we can gain a perception of control from activities that may have little effect on the situation that's bothering us. Tidy room,focused mind 40.If your puttering takes the form of organizing and decluttering ()you may find that the tidier environment is itself a form of comfort.To summarize,if we see order outside,it helps us to feel a bit less chaotic inside.It is comforting because it makes life easier to manage and more predictable. A.Being careful B.A feeling of control C.The benefits do not end there. D.We will feel great anxiety in our mind. E.They may well encourage you to engage in it more often. F.Ideally,we would deal directly with the upsetting situation itself. G.For instance,we may find household tasks can help us focus on the present moment. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）】 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下而短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I hate heights.I 41 when a hotel clerk places me higher than the third floor.On sightseeing 【高二月考·英语第6页（共8页）】 10092B trips,I need a lot of gentle 42 from my companions before stepping onto the observation decks.

I think here in New Jersey, you need to get a permit in order to plant bamboo. It's probably because of how difficult it is to control. (Text 10) Hello everyone, and welcome to Bangkok, Thailand.

In another method called tissue culture, researchers take a quarter-inch of branch, dip it into a mixture made up of a dozen hormones and other chemicals, seal(密封) it in a container and wait to see whether it will grow roots.(最常见的方法是生 根托插。在这种方法中,将树枝的尖端浸入激素中,放入泡沫塞中,并放置在雾室中。然后,等待就开始 了。如果有的话,生命迹象可能需要几个月到一年的时间才会显现。在另一种称为组织培养的方法中,研 究人员取四分之一英寸长的树枝,将其浸入由十几种激素和其他化学物质组成的混合物中,将其密封在容 器中,然后等待看它是否会生根。)”可知,在描述这两种方法时,作者用了“ifonecomesatall(如果有的 话)”和“whether itwillgrowroots(是否会生根)”等字眼,由此可推知,这两种方法都有可能导致树枝无法 生根。故选B 34.A 词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句子“Experts lauded the group for its creative methods and reproduction in large numbers,but they doubt whether the clones will grow as the originals do.(专家们对该组织的创新方法和 大量繁殖表示lauded,但他们怀疑克隆体是否会像原代植物那样生长。)”中的but可知,前后是转折关系 虽然专家们对克隆体是否会像原代植物那样生长表示怀疑,但是他们对该组织的创新方法和大量繁殖表 示称赞,划线单词表示“称赞”,与A项“Praised.(赞美)”意思相近,故选A。 35.
