It worried me. I reported the strange surface on the skin of the lizard to my husband and children the next morning. Seconds later, our lizard emerged from its tank with its old skin flowing behind it. I didn't think about it much until a morning last week when I knocked my favorite teapot off the table. It burst into hundreds of pieces. As I swept up the mess, I wondered why we had been breaking so many things over the months. The destruction started three months ago. It was my husband's birthday. He had just lost his job. The uncertainty was starting to wear on us so I wanted to do something special. “Let's make a cake for Dad!” I cried. My kids screamed with joy. We baked, iced and sprinkled for most of the day. Candles on the cake! Balloons on the walls! Flowers on the table! Two hours before my husband came back home from another job interview, my daughter climbed up to grab a glass vase from a high shelf. It fell and crashed beside the cake. Tiny pieces of glass were everywhere. She sobbed loudly as I threw the cake away. My husband had banana pudding for his birthday. Three days ago, the light in our living room suddenly went out. After several frustrating hours of unsuccessful attempts to fix it, my husband suggested watching the Michael Jordan documentary (纪录片)series The Last Dance. The poignancy (酸楚)of Jordan retiring from his beloved basketball to play baseball and what had pushed him to make such a tough decision took me by surprise. As I watched him take off his basketball uniform and replace it with a baseball uniform, I saw him leaving behind the layer that no longer served him, just as our lizard had. Neither of them chose the moment that had transformed them. But they had to live with who they were after everything was different. Just like us. I realized that we have to learn to leave the past behind. Humans do not shed skin (蜕皮)as easily as other animals. The beginning of change is upsetting. The process is tiring. Damage changes us before we are ready. I see our lizard, raw and nearly new. Jordan said that no matter how it ends, it starts with hope. With our tender, hopeful skin, that is where we begin. 24. What can we learn about the pet lizard from Paragraph 1 ? A. Its tank grew dirty. B. Its old skin came off. C. It got a skin disease. D. It went missing. 25. Why does the author mention The Last Dance in the passage? A. To prove a theory. B. To define a concept. C. To develop the theme. D. To provide the background. 26. The underlined part "leaving behind the layer" in Paragraph 8 can be understood as A. letting go of the past B. looking for a new job C. getting rid of a bad habit D. giving up an opportunity 27. What does the author most likely want to tell us? A. Love of family helps us survive great hardships. B. It's not the end of the world if we break things. C. We should move on no matter what happens. D. Past experiences should be treasured. C On paper, hydrogen（H2）looks like a dream fuel. Coal, oil, and natural gas produce carbon dioxide, which warms the earth when burned, Hydrogen produces pure water. Hydrogen packs more energy into less space than a battery（but certainly less than petrol）. Also, empty tanks（燃料箱）can be refilled with hydrogen much faster than refilling empty batteries with electricity. While in practice, things are trickier. Storing a meaningful amount of hydrogen gas requires pressing it several hundred-fold. Changing it into the liquid form is another option, but it should be cooled to-253C. Both processes require a heavy and strong tank. While a 700 bar tank is acceptable for a city bus or a truck, adapting it for use in small vehicles is very difficult because the pressure during refilling would be too great. The solution? Powerpaste. A German team of researchers, led by Marcus Vogt, have come up with an interesting "powerpaste", which can store hydrogen energy at atmospheric pressure, ready for release when needed. It is so named because it comes in tubes and looks like toothpaste（牙膏）, not in its traditional form of gas. The main ingredient（原料）of the paste is magnesium hydride, a substance that reacts with water to form hydrogen. The escaped hydrogen can then be directed into a fuel cell, where it reacts with oxygen from the air to produce electric power. Refueling is very simple, as instead of going to a filling station, drivers and riders can simply replace an empty tube with a new one and refill the water tank. Given that powerpaste only begins to break down at temperatures of around 250℃ it remains safe even when a vehicle stands in the baking sun for hours. However, we will have to be patient. Just because researchers have succeeded in developing a new fueling way does not mean that we can expect to see such vehicles on the road anytime soon. It will indeed be several years before this concept is turned into reality. 28. As a fuel, what is the advantage of hydrogen over oil? A. Refilling empty tanks will be more convenient. B. It is less likely to worsen global warming C. More energy can be packed in the same space. D. It will produce pure water for people to drink. 29. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The practical difficulties to use hydrogen as fuel in small vehicles. B. The detailed processes of adapting a strong tank in small vehicles. C. The differences in fueling between large vehicles and small ones. D. The tricks of building strong tanks in small vehicles. 30. The author mentions the refueling process to show that powerpaste is______________. A inexpensive B. powerful C. convenient D. environment-friendly 31. Why does the author call on the readers to be patient? A. Powerpaste-driven vehicles sometimes move very slowly on the road. B. Practical use of powerpaste-driven vehicles will not come very soon. C. Powerpaste-driven vehicles can only work after being in the sun for hours D. It will be years before the researchers work out the concept of powerpaste. D Scientists have developed a virtual brain network that can predict the behavior of individual neurons (神经元) in a living brain. This model is based on the visual system of a fruit fly, allowing scientists to quickly test ideas on a computer before conducting time-consuming experiments with actual flies or other lab animals. Srini Turaga, a group leader at the Janelia Research Campus, part of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), explained, “Now, we can begin with an assumption about how the fruit fly brain might function before taking experimental measurements.” Published in the journal Nature, this research also suggests that energy-intensive artificial intelligence (AI) systems could consume significantly less power by adopting computational strategies found in living brains. The fruit fly brain, with only around 100,000 neurons, is “small and energy-efficient”, according to study co-author Jakob Macke, a professor at the University of Tübingen. Despite its size, the fruit fly can perform a range of complex tasks, including flying, walking, detecting predators (捕食者), and mating. In contrast, modern AI systems often rely on computers with billions of transistors (晶体管) and consume as much energy as a small country. Ben Cowley, a computational neuroscientist at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, believes that borrowing computational methods from the fruit fly brain could make AI systems more power-efficient. This virtual brain network was made possible by more than a decade of research on the structure of the fruit fly brain, largely supported by HHMI. Using detailed maps of the brain’s neurons and connections, the research team created a model imitating the fruit fly’s visual system. The virtual network, composed of 64 types of neurons, analyzed video clips of different types of movement, and an AI system was used to study the neuron responses. This model accurately predicted the activity of neurons in both the virtual and real fruit fly brains, offering a valuable tool for both neuroscience and AI research. Future versions of the model could extend beyond the visual system to include more complex tasks. 32. What is the basis of the virtual brain network model? A. The human nervous system. B. The fruit fly’s visual system. C. Lab animal’s behavior. D. An advanced AI system. 33. Why is the fruit fly brain described as energy-efficient? A. It controls visual processes. B. It uses billions of transistors. C. It functions without consuming energy. D. It performs complex tasks with fewer neurons. 34. What can AI learn from the fruit fly brain? A. Increasing AI energy consumption. B. Predicting AI responses. C. Making AI systems more efficient. D. Improving AI accuracy. 35. What can be inferred about the future of the model? A. It may be expanded to additional tasks. B. It will require more energy to operate. C. It will be limited to visual tasks. D. It will replace actual fruit fly in research settings. 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。 Self-esteem (自尊) is the ruling view you have of yourself. This includes your beliefs about your inner qualities and how you think others see you. Self-esteem is not always rooted in reality, though. ____36____. Having a healthy self-esteem means seeing yourself in a positive way. ____37____. Self-esteem does not equal arrogance. Arrogance, on the other hand, refers to being overly confident about your qualities (regardless of their actual quality). It is actually more commonly associated with someone having low self-esteem. They will tell you how much everyone loves them, what a great job they do at work, and how amazing they are at pretty everything under the sun even though they really wonder if it’s true. ____38____. Surround yourself with people who love themselves. Set small, attainable goals to accomplish. Write a list of your talents, skills, and achievements. Remember that people are not perfect and what’s most important is that you’re trying. Keep houseplants or a small garden so you can see success and how valuable you are overtime (as they grow, so does your confidence). With practice and perseverance, you will win this internal struggle to see yourself-worth. In serious cases of low self-esteem, you may call in a professional who can help people understand their thought patterns and how those patterns are contributing to problems. ____39____. This process, overtime, can help you develop a deeper sense of your own capabilities (outside previously limited beliefs). Your past doesn’t seal your future. While it’s true that your painful past can change the way you see yourself, it’s just as much the case that your mind can be changed again. You have the power to shape a new self-perception. It will take some work but your entire life will be touched with the power that only comes from someone believing in themselves. ____40____, you can improve yourself-esteem and see how everything else changes as a result. A. With some lifestyle changes and support B. The real test is whether they can learn from their mistakes C. Some ideas to build yourself-esteem may include as follows D. You see your faults first when thinking about things you've done E. It’s about having a stable sense of your capabilities and a deep trust in yourself F. He helps to treatment al problems and relieve symptoms of low self-esteem G. Understanding self-esteem better might be the key to unlocking your own self-worth. 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) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 At around 11 p. m. last July 26, an emergency message on the Facebook page caught Clemens’ eye: a tiny black puppy was___41___ hurrying across a road in the neighborhood where she lives.

"But I can't!" Amy said, her heart beating quickly inside. "I can't go any faster! Her husband encouraged her. "Yes, you can! You're making progress every day.” To help Amy stay healthy, her husband had been running with her for over two years. Several years ago, Amy could barely walk down the stairs of her apartment building due to fatness caused by eating disorders. She realized the problem after a failed job interview and began walking to improve her ability to move. At first, she could walk for only 15 minutes at a time. But she pushed herself every day, walking 5 minutes longer than she did the day before until she walked for an hour and eventually two. For three years, Amy kept her walking habit, slowly and painstakingly building her body shape. Then she changed her walking shoes to running shoes about two years ago and became an excellent runner. In March 2001, an advertisement invited people to nominate（提名）an ordinary person who inspired them to bring the Olympic flame to Salt Lake City as torch bearers（火炬手）or support runners.（Support runners serve as “guardians of the flame" and run with torch bearers along the journey.）Amy's experiences touched her husband, so he nominated her to be a torch bearer. The possibility to be selected was low, but Amy wanted to try. Running taught Amy the importance of training for a race. She pictured herself running a race and crossing the finish line. For months, she ran through her neighborhood carrying a broken-off broom handle, feeling the weight of the torch. She waved at her neighbors, pretending they were cheering crowds. She also printed a picture of a torch bearer wearing the white uniform, replaced the face with a picture of hers, and put it onto her refrigerator door. Every day, Amy imagined herself as a torch bearer. She was training for a historic running event. On September 26th, while on her daily run through her neighborhood, an express package arrived. 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。 Paragraph 1: Amy opened it and found a letter and a book on the Olympics. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: "One of today's torch bearers can't run her part, " announced the relay organizer. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 武汉六中2024-2025学年度高一上学期第3次月考 英语试题 考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分 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。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】 Why did the woman stop playing the piano?

The boys here have worked hard in order to be a part of this ceremony. Recognition of achievement can make us push ourselves and reach our full potential. The prizewinners are a true representation of everything that we value here at Hampton School. I have every confidence that you young men will be precisely the kind of young people who will make a positive difference to the country and the world. Your success will be built on being true to yourself. You should recognize your problems and doubts as well as your positive qualities. I remember listening to an interview with Andy Murray, one of the top tennis players in the world. After he was defeated in the first round of a tournament by a much lower ranked player, the media went crazy. However, Murray was straightforward and wise. “Nobody died here,” he said, “I only lost a tennis match, nothing more.” We are proud of our prizewinners today. They should be proud of themselves. But let’s be clear, if you link motivation to winning prizes in life, you set yourself up for disappointment. The greatest prize of all is that you can look yourself in the eye and say, “I tried my absolute best.” 第二部分：阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节: (共15小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Things to Do in London This Weekend Now, some of the most cherished London venues have opened their doors again. Take a look at our lists of exactly what is opening up in London. Columbia Road Flower Market The Columbia Road Flower Market is reopening this weekend, but it will be quite different. Stands will be spread out. Nearby roads will be closed and there will be a limit on the number of people who can enter the market. The statement is also calling on locals to support the market but advises people not to visit frequently in order to avoid overcrowding. Lambeth Country Show The festival of countryside won' t be held in its usual home of Brock well Park this year. However, it is being taken online instead. All your favourite aspects of the fair will be part of the virtual edition this weekend, including the highly popular Vegetable Sculpture Competition and other usual lower show competitions, local-themed talks, craft market and virtual music performances. Walthamstow Garden Party The free two-day festival in E17 is going online this year. Over the weekend you can tune in to music and take part in online workshops from crafting to Tai Chi. Don't miss the highlight of the weekend: East London Radio' s first-ever live show taking place across the weekend with behind-the-scenes chats with local artists, live music from St Mary's Church and much more. Brixton Courtyard A new beer garden is opening in Brixton with D sets, wine tastings and more in a safe environment.

However, it is being taken online instead.”（今年的乡村音乐节不会在布洛克威尔公园举行。然而，它被放到了网上。）和第四自然段中“The free two-day festival in E17 is going online this year.”（今年，E17两天免费的音乐节将在网上直播。）可知Lambeth Country Show 和the festival in E17都将转到网络上。故选A项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中第五自然段中“A new beer garden is opening in Brixton with D sets, wine tastings and more in a safe environment.”（一个新的啤酒花园在布里克斯顿开放，你可以在这个安全的环境里品尝葡萄酒和做一些其它事情。）可知在Brixton Courtyard可以品尝葡萄酒，如果有人想喝一杯，你会推荐Brixton Courtyard。故选D项。 B About five weeks ago, I noticed the skin of our pet lizard (蜥蜴)was growing dusty. It worried me. I reported the strange surface on the skin of the lizard to my husband and children the next morning. Seconds later, our lizard emerged from its tank with its old skin flowing behind it. I didn't think about it much until a morning last week when I knocked my favorite teapot off the table. It burst into hundreds of pieces. As I swept up the mess, I wondered why we had been breaking so many things over the months. The destruction started three months ago. It was my husband's birthday. He had just lost his job. The uncertainty was starting to wear on us, so I wanted to do something special. “Let's make a cake for Dad!” I cried. My kids screamed with joy. We baked, iced and sprinkled for most of the day. Candles on the cake! Balloons on the walls! Flowers on the table! Two hours before my husband came back home from another job interview, my daughter climbed up to grab a glass vase from a high shelf. It fell and crashed beside the cake. Tiny pieces of glass were everywhere. She sobbed loudly as I threw the cake away. My husband had banana pudding for his birthday. Three days ago, the light in our living room suddenly went out. After several frustrating hours of unsuccessful attempts to fix it, my husband suggested watching the Michael Jordan documentary (纪录片)series The Last Dance. The poignancy (酸楚)of Jordan retiring from his beloved basketball to play baseball and what had pushed him to make such a tough decision took me by surprise. As I watched him take off his basketball uniform and replace it with a baseball uniform, I saw him leaving behind the layer that no longer served him, just as our lizard had. Neither of them chose the moment that had transformed them. But they had to live with who they were after everything was different. Just like us. I realized that we have to learn to leave the past behind. Humans do not shed skin (蜕皮)as easily as other animals. The beginning of change is upsetting. The process is tiring. Damage changes us before we are ready. I see our lizard, raw and nearly new. Jordan said that no matter how it ends, it starts with hope. With our tender, hopeful skin, that is where we begin. 24. What can we learn about the pet lizard from Paragraph 1 ? A. Its tank grew dirty. B. Its old skin came off. C. It got a skin disease. D. It went missing. 25. Why does the author mention The Last Dance in the passage? A. To prove a theory. B. To define a concept. C. To develop the theme. D. To provide the background. 26. The underlined part "leaving behind the layer" in Paragraph 8 can be understood as A. letting go of the past B. looking for a new job C. getting rid of a bad habit D. giving up an opportunity 27. What does the author most likely want to tell us? A. Love of family helps us survive great hardships. B. It's not the end of the world if we break things. C. We should move on no matter what happens. D. Past experiences should be treasured. 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。讲述了作者的丈夫刚刚丢了工作，这种不确定性开始影响到家人，直到作者看到家里的宠物蜥蜴换皮和观看了Michael Jordan的纪录片《最后的舞蹈》后，领悟到我们必须学会把过去抛在脑后，像蜥蜴一样，用我们柔嫩、充满希望的皮肤作为人生的起点。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I reported the strange surface on the skin of the lizard to my husband and children the next morning. Seconds later, our lizard emerged from its tank with its old skin flowing behind it.(第二天早上，我向丈夫和孩子们报告了蜥蜴皮肤上奇怪的表面。几秒钟后，我们的蜥蜴从水箱里出来，旧皮肤蜕了下来)”可知，宠物蜥蜴旧的皮肤脱落了。故选B。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“The poignancy of Jordan retiring from his beloved basketball to play baseball and what had pushed him to make such a tough decision took me by surprise. As I watched him take off his basketball uniform and replace it with a baseball uniform, I saw him leaving behind the layer that no longer served him, just as our lizard had. Neither of them chose the moment that had transformed them. But they had to live with who they were after everything was different. Just like us. I realized that we have to learn to leave the past behind.( Jordan从心爱的篮球退役，转而打棒球，这是多么令人痛心的事情，是什么促使他做出如此艰难的决定，让我感到惊讶。当我看着他脱下篮球服，换上棒球服时，我看到他脱下了那层不再适合他的衣服，就像我们的蜥蜴一样。他们都没有选择那个改变了他们的时刻。但他们必须和自己生活在一起，因为一切都变了。就像我们一样。我意识到我们必须学会把过去抛在脑后)”以及最后一段“Jordan said that no matter how it ends, it starts with hope. With our tender, hopeful skin, that is where we begin.( Jordan说，不管结局如何，都是以希望开始的。用我们柔嫩、充满希望的皮肤那是我们的起点)”可推知，作者在文章中提到The Last Dance是为了展开文章关于放手过去，重新开始的主题。故选C。 【26题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“Neither of them chose the moment that had transformed them. But they had to live with who they were after everything was different. Just like us. I realized that we have to learn to leave the past behind.(他们都没有选择那个改变了他们的时刻。但他们必须和自己生活在一起，因为一切都变了。就像我们一样。我意识到我们必须学会把过去抛在脑后)”可知，作者看着乔丹脱下篮球服，换上棒球服时，意识到看到他放下了过去，把过去抛在脑后了。即画线词意思是“放下过去”，与A项letting go of the past同义。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Humans do not shed skin as easily as other animals. The beginning of change is upsetting. The process is tiring. Damage changes us before we are ready. I see our lizard, raw and nearly new.(人类不像其他动物那样容易蜕皮。改变的开始令人不安。这个过程很累人。伤害在我们准备好之前就改变了我们。我看到了我们生嫩的、几乎是全新的蜥蜴)”以及最后一段“Jordan said that no matter how it ends, it starts with hope. With our tender, hopeful skin, that is where we begin.( Jordan说，不管结局如何，都是以希望开始的。用我们柔嫩、充满希望的皮肤，那是我们的起点)”可推知，作者最有可能想告诉我们无论发生什么，我们都应该继续前进。故选C。 C On paper, hydrogen（H2）looks like a dream fuel. Coal, oil, and natural gas produce carbon dioxide, which warms the earth when burned, Hydrogen produces pure water. Hydrogen packs more energy into less space than a battery（but certainly less than petrol）. Also, empty tanks（燃料箱）can be refilled with hydrogen much faster than refilling empty batteries with electricity. While in practice, things are trickier. Storing a meaningful amount of hydrogen gas requires pressing it several hundred-fold. Changing it into the liquid form is another option, but it should be cooled to-253C. Both processes require a heavy and strong tank. While a 700 bar tank is acceptable for a city bus or a truck, adapting it for use in small vehicles is very difficult because the pressure during refilling would be too great. The solution? Powerpaste. A German team of researchers, led by Marcus Vogt, have come up with an interesting "powerpaste", which can store hydrogen energy at atmospheric pressure, ready for release when needed. It is so named because it comes in tubes and looks like toothpaste（牙膏）, not in its traditional form of gas. The main ingredient（原料）of the paste is magnesium hydride, a substance that reacts with water to form hydrogen. The escaped hydrogen can then be directed into a fuel cell, where it reacts with oxygen from the air to produce electric power. Refueling is very simple, as instead of going to a filling station, drivers and riders can simply replace an empty tube with a new one and refill the water tank. Given that powerpaste only begins to break down at temperatures of around 250℃ it remains safe even when a vehicle stands in the baking sun for hours. However, we will have to be patient. Just because researchers have succeeded in developing a new fueling way does not mean that we can expect to see such vehicles on the road anytime soon. It will indeed be several years before this concept is turned into reality. 28. As a fuel, what is the advantage of hydrogen over oil? A. Refilling empty tanks will be more convenient. B. It is less likely to worsen global warming C. More energy can be packed in the same space. D. It will produce pure water for people to drink. 29. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The practical difficulties to use hydrogen as fuel in small vehicles. B. The detailed processes of adapting a strong tank in small vehicles. C. The differences in fueling between large vehicles and small ones. D. The tricks of building strong tanks in small vehicles. 30. The author mentions the refueling process to show that powerpaste is______________. A. inexpensive B. powerful C. convenient D. environment-friendly 31. Why does the author call on the readers to be patient? A. Powerpaste-driven vehicles sometimes move very slowly on the road. B. Practical use of powerpaste-driven vehicles will not come very soon. C. Powerpaste-driven vehicles can only work after being in the sun for hours D. It will be years before the researchers work out the concept of powerpaste. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了氢是一种理想的燃料，它与煤、石油和天然气相比所具有的优势以及它取代煤、石油和天然气所面临的困难和解决办法。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二句“Coal, oil, and natural gas produce carbon dioxide, which warms the earth when burned, Hydrogen produces pure water.”(煤、石油和天然气产生二氧化碳，燃烧时会使地球变暖，而氢产生纯水。)可知，作为燃料，氢比石油具有的优点是它不太可能加剧全球变暖。故选B项。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段第一句“While in practice, things are trickier.”(而在实践中，情况就复杂多了。)及第二段最后一句“While a 700 bar tank is acceptable for a city bus or a truck, adapting it for use in small vehicles is very difficult because the pressure during refilling would be too great.”(虽然700巴的油箱可以用在城市公共汽车或卡车上，但要把它改装成适用于小型车辆却非常困难，因为加注过程中的压力太大了。)可知，第二段主要讲的是在小型车辆中使用氢作为燃料的实际困难。故选A项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段 “Refueling is very simple, as instead of going to a filling station, drivers and riders can simply replace an empty tube with a new one and refill the water tank.”(加油很简单，司机和乘客不需要去加油站，只需用一个新管子替换空管子，然后给水箱加水。)可知，作者提到了加油过程，说明给车辆加膏状氢燃料是很方便的。故选C项。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段最后两句“Just because researchers have succeeded in developing a new fueling way does not mean that we can expect to see such vehicles on the road anytime soon. It will indeed be several years before this concept is turned into reality.”(仅仅是因为研究人员成功地开发出了一种新的加油方式并不意味着我们可以期待在短期内看到这样的车辆上路。实际上，这一概念要成为现实还需要数年的时间。)可知，作者呼吁读者要有耐心是因为这种新动力驱动的汽车的实际应用尚需时日，不会很快到来。故选B项。 D Scientists have developed a virtual brain network that can predict the behavior of individual neurons (神经元) in a living brain. This model is based on the visual system of a fruit fly, allowing scientists to quickly test ideas on a computer before conducting time-consuming experiments with actual flies or other lab animals. Srini Turaga, a group leader at the Janelia Research Campus, part of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), explained, “Now, we can begin with an assumption about how the fruit fly brain might function before taking experimental measurements.” Published in the journal Nature, this research also suggests that energy-intensive artificial intelligence (AI) systems could consume significantly less power by adopting computational strategies found in living brains. The fruit fly brain, with only around 100,000 neurons, is “small and energy-efficient”, according to study co-author Jakob Macke, a professor at the University of Tübingen. Despite its size, the fruit fly can perform a range of complex tasks, including flying, walking, detecting predators (捕食者), and mating. In contrast, modern AI systems often rely on computers with billions of transistors (晶体管) and consume as much energy as a small country. Ben Cowley, a computational neuroscientist at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, believes that borrowing computational methods from the fruit fly brain could make AI systems more power-efficient. This virtual brain network was made possible by more than a decade of research on the structure of the fruit fly brain, largely supported by HHMI. Using detailed maps of the brain’s neurons and connections, the research team created a model imitating the fruit fly’s visual system. The virtual network, composed of 64 types of neurons, analyzed video clips of different types of movement, and an AI system was used to study the neuron responses. This model accurately predicted the activity of neurons in both the virtual and real fruit fly brains, offering a valuable tool for both neuroscience and AI research. Future versions of the model could extend beyond the visual system to include more complex tasks. 32. What is the basis of the virtual brain network model? A. The human nervous system. B. The fruit fly’s visual system. C. Lab animal’s behavior. D. An advanced AI system. 33. Why is the fruit fly brain described as energy-efficient? A. It controls visual processes. B. It uses billions of transistors. C. It functions without consuming energy. D. It performs complex tasks with fewer neurons. 34. What can AI learn from the fruit fly brain? A. Increasing AI energy consumption. B. Predicting AI responses. C. Making AI systems more efficient. D. Improving AI accuracy. 35. What can be inferred about the future of the model? A. It may be expanded to additional tasks. B. It will require more energy to operate. C. It will be limited to visual tasks. D. It will replace actual fruit fly in research settings. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是科学家基于果蝇的视觉系统开发了一个虚拟脑网络模型，该模型能够预测活体大脑中单个神经元的行为。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“This model is based on the visual system of a fruit fly, allowing scientists to quickly test ideas on a computer before conducting time-consuming experiments with actual flies or other lab animals.(该模型以果蝇的视觉系统为基础，使科学家能够在计算机上快速测试想法，而无需在真实的果蝇或其他实验动物身上进行耗时的实验。)”可知，虚拟脑网络模型的基础是果蝇的视觉系统。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The fruit fly brain, with only around 100, 000 neurons, is “small and energy-efficient”, according to study co-author Jakob Macke, a professor at the University of Tübingen. Despite its size, the fruit fly can perform a range of complex tasks, including flying, walking, detecting predators (捕食者), and mating.(根据研究合著者、Tübingen大学教授Jakob Macke的说法，果蝇的大脑虽然只有大约10万个神经元，但“小巧且节能”。尽管体积小，但果蝇能够执行一系列复杂的任务，包括飞行、行走、探测捕食者以及交配。)”可知，果蝇的大脑被描述为节能是因为它用更少的神经元完成复杂的任务。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Ben Cowley, a computational neuroscientist at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, believes that borrowing computational methods from the fruit fly brain could make AI systems more power-efficient.(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory的计算神经科学家Ben Cowley认为，借鉴果蝇大脑的计算方法可以使人工智能系统更高效。)”可知，人工智能通过从果蝇大脑中学习而变得更高效，故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Future versions of the model could extend beyond the visual system to include more complex tasks.(该模型的未来版本可以扩展到视觉系统之外，包括更复杂的任务。)”可知，该模型未来可能会被扩展到其他任务中。故选A。 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。 Self-esteem (自尊) is the ruling view you have of yourself. This includes your beliefs about your inner qualities and how you think others see you. Self-esteem is not always rooted in reality though. ____36____. Having a healthy self-esteem means seeing yourself in a positive way. ____37____. Self-esteem does not equal arrogance. Arrogance, on the other hand, refers to being overly confident about your qualities (regardless of their actual quality). It is actually more commonly associated with someone having low self-esteem. They will tell you how much everyone loves them, what a great job they do at work, and how amazing they are at pretty everything under the sun even though they really wonder if it’s true. ____38____. Surround yourself with people who love themselves. Set small, attainable goals to accomplish. Write a list of your talents, skills, and achievements. Remember that people are not perfect and what’s most important is that you’re trying. Keep houseplants or a small garden so you can see success and how valuable you are overtime (as they grow, so does your confidence). With practice and perseverance, you will win this internal struggle to see yourself-worth. In serious cases of low self-esteem, you may call in a professional who can help people understand their thought patterns and how those patterns are contributing to problems. ____39____. This process, overtime, can help you develop a deeper sense of your own capabilities (outside previously limited beliefs). Your past doesn’t seal your future. While it’s true that your painful past can change the way you see yourself, it’s just as much the case that your mind can be changed again. You have the power to shape a new self-perception. It will take some work but your entire life will be touched with the power that only comes from someone believing in themselves. ____40____, you can improve yourself-esteem and see how everything else changes as a result. A. With some lifestyle changes and support B. The real test is whether they can learn from their mistakes C. Some ideas to build yourself-esteem may include as follows D. You see your faults first when thinking about things you've done E. It’s about having a stable sense of your capabilities and a deep trust in yourself F. He helps to treatment al problems and relieve symptoms of low self-esteem G. Understanding self-esteem better might be the key to unlocking your own self-worth. 【答案】36. G 37. E 38. C 39. F 40.

"But I can't!" Amy said, her heart beating quickly inside. "I can't go any faster! Her husband encouraged her. "Yes, you can! You're making progress every day.” To help Amy stay healthy, her husband had been running with her for over two years. Several years ago, Amy could barely walk down the stairs of her apartment building due to fatness caused by eating disorders. She realized the problem after a failed job interview and began walking to improve her ability to move. At first, she could walk for only 15 minutes at a time. But she pushed herself every day, walking 5 minutes longer than she did the day before until she walked for an hour and eventually two. For three years, Amy kept her walking habit, slowly and painstakingly building her body shape. Then she changed her walking shoes to running shoes about two years ago and became an excellent runner. In March 2001, an advertisement invited people to nominate（提名）an ordinary person who inspired them to bring the Olympic flame to Salt Lake City as torch bearers（火炬手）or support runners.（Support runners serve as “guardians of the flame" and run with torch bearers along the journey.）Amy's experiences touched her husband, so he nominated her to be a torch bearer. The possibility to be selected was low, but Amy wanted to try. Running taught Amy the importance of training for a race. She pictured herself running a race and crossing the finish line. For months, she ran through her neighborhood carrying a broken-off broom handle, feeling the weight of the torch. She waved at her neighbors, pretending they were cheering crowds. She also printed a picture of a torch bearer wearing the white uniform, replaced the face with a picture of hers, and put it onto her refrigerator door. Every day, Amy imagined herself as a torch bearer. She was training for a historic running event. On September 26th, while on her daily run through her neighborhood, an express package arrived. 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。 Paragraph 1: Amy opened it and found a letter and a book on the Olympics. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: "One of today's torch bearers can't run her part, " announced the relay organizer. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Amy opened it and found a letter and a book on the Olympics. The letter read, "Congratulations! You've been selected as a support runner for the Olympic Torch Relay..." Although she wouldn't be wearing the white uniform, she wasn't disappointed. She completed the required physical examination, delivered the forms, and waited. Months later, another package arrived. It contained her official blue support runner uniform along with instructions for her part of the relay. Then on a cold day, Amy and her husband stood outside the Torch Relay collection point. Paragraph 2: "One of today's torch bearers can't run her part," announced the relay organizer. Then he said, "One lucky support runner will become a torch bearer. Select a person now." Luckily, Amy became the torch bearer. Holding it tight, she ran down the street filled with people waving flags. The Olympic theme song was broadcast. Amy smiled and waved to the crowds, knowing that she was carrying not only the torch, but also the Olympic spirit. 【解析】 【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。 【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，几年前，艾米由于饮食失调导致肥胖，几乎走不下公寓楼的楼梯。在丈夫的帮助下，慢慢地恢复身材，并成为一名优秀的跑步运动员。在看了一则广告后，丈夫鼓励艾米去竞选奥运火炬手。为此，艾米把自己想象成火炬手，一直为此训练，直到有一天，一个快递包裹到达。 续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：艾米打开它，发现了一封信和一本关于奥运会的书。本段应该写艾米看到信上写着自己被选为奥运火炬接力的助跑员。她完成体检几个月后，又来了一个包裹，里面是正式的蓝色助跑服，还有她那部分接力的说明，终于到了火炬接力的那一天。第二段开头是：“今天的火炬手中有一个不能胜任她的角色，”接力组织者宣布。本段应该写艾米在挥舞着旗帜的人们中，跑去接过火炬，奥运主题曲播出了，艾米微笑着向人群挥手致意，她传递的不仅是火炬，还有奥林匹克精神。 续写时要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右，按要求完成写作任务。 【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：be selected as，run down，fill with等高级词汇；Although she wouldn't be wearing the white uniform, she wasn't disappointed. 让步状语从句的运用；Amy smiled and waved to the crowds, knowing that she was carrying not only the torch, but also the Olympic spirit.宾语从句的运用等高级句式。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
