B When I applied for a part-time job at my local library, I had no idea that I’d be asked to sing and dance several times a week. I would have run. I thought I’d sit behind a desk and get reacquainted with some of my favorite childhood authors, while helping parents find books for their well-behaved children. My dream of it being a quiet desk job was destroyed the first time I co-hosted “Toddler Time” with 45 kids mostly going in 45 different directions. We took turns reading books, hosting a puppet show, and handing out crafts. Even though we wore microphones, the children could barely hear us above the noise. One day a woman approached me with her library card, asking about free zoo tickets that she heard were available through our card, mentioned on a Colorado radio station. I explained we were in Texas, under a different library system. When she asked what her card could get her here for free, I listed numerous resources and services — books, movies, games, clubs, classes, and more — but she seemed unimpressed. After a sigh, she walked away. Many of my days were spent guiding young readers through the library, alongside tasks like shelf-reading and removing damaged books. I also handled numerous questions from visitors unsure of what they wanted or who gave very vague (模糊的) clues about titles they sought, with some questions being particularly challenging to understand. A middle schooler once asked me, “Do you have any books on pH?” Thinking he had left several letters off his question, I responded with, “Huh?” He spoke more slowly as I looked in our catalog for two random letters and finally said, “No, sorry.” I was wrong. When I shared this request with my manager later, I received some wise advice. “Never say no or that you don’t know,” she said. “Always say, ‘Let’s find out.’” Lesson learned. Libraries today are about so much more than what’s on the shelves. They can be a place to get answers, to ask questions, or simply a friendly place to be alone. They can also be a place of attraction. Ah, that’s what makes a library so magical. 24. What did the author expect the library job to be? A. Busy and noisy. B. Quiet and relaxing. C. Boring and tiring. D. Challenging and fun. 25. Why does the author mention the woman in paragraph 3? A. To demonstrate the great challenges of the job. B. To illustrate the diverse resources of the library. C. To show the benefits of libraries in various states. D. To highlight the library’s wide range of free services. 26. What lesson did the author learn from the manager? A. Attempt to find a solution. B. Remember more book titles. C. Always be polite to readers. D. Ignore the demanding requests. 27. What major change can be inferred about libraries? A Reduced children’s activities. B. Limited book borrowing quantities. C. Abandoned traditional book lending. D. Increased community service functions. C A lonely dolphin swimming off Denmark’s cold coast is chirping and yelling into the vast nothingness, and no one is responding. The 17-year-old bottlenose Dolphin, which locals named“Delle”, was first spotted wandering the Svendborgsund channel around five years ago. That’s unusual because the area is far outside the region dolphins normally pass through. Odder still, Delle appeared all on his own, a rarity for a highly social species that almost always travels in groups. The researchers listened in on Delle with an underwater microphone for 69 days. Delle was quite vocal (发声的) during those days. In total, researchers said they detected 2,239 whistles, 5,487 low-frequency tonal sounds, 767 percussive sounds and 2,288 burst pulses. Those burst pulses, which sound like a rapid series of clicks, were particularly interesting because dolphins often articulate those sounds as a sign of violence towards others in their group. But Delle was all alone. Delle also produced three separate signature whistles. Bottlenose dolphins ordinarily have one unique whistle, which functions similar to a name they use to identify themselves to others. “I thought we might pick up a few distant whistles or something along those lines,” Olga Filatova said. “I certainly didn’t anticipate recording thousands of different sounds.” The researchers were unsure why Delle was so vocal. Initially, they imagined it might communicate with a nearby paddle boarder, but this was disproven when it vocalized without people present. Another theory was that it called for other dolphins, yet its long separation made this unlikely. Filatova suggested a more reasonable reason: Delle might make involuntary emotional sounds, like humans laughing privately. A more speculative (猜测的) idea is that, like humans engaging in “self-talk” when separated long-term, Delle might talk to itself due to a lack of social interaction. However, the researchers warned against over-interpreting, as human self- talk is not fully understood. There’s one other maybe deeper mystery though that the study does not fully answer. Why did Delle decide to go it alone in the cold Baltic Sea in the first place? Was he banned from his group? Did he somehow get lost off course? We will likely never know for sure. 28. What does the author describe in the first paragraph? A. A safe environment for marine life. B. A lost dolphin returning to his group. C. A dolphin behaving strangely alone. D. A wandering dolphin across the channel. 29. What does the underlined word “articulate” mean in paragraph 2? A. Absorb. B. Reflect. C. Transform. D. Release. 30. Which best describes the reasons behind Delle’s vocal behavior? A. Uncertain. B. Unusual. C. Evident. D. Authoritative. 31. What might be the best title for the text? A. A Wandering Dolphin Gets Its Name B. Dolphins Whistle to Show Their Identity C. Lonely Delle Yells in Baltic Sea for Years D. Dolphins Self-talk to Get Rid of Loneliness D Stories define people — they shape our relationships, cultures and societies. Unlike other skills replaced by technology, storytelling has remained uniquely human, setting people apart from machines. But now, even storytelling is being challenged. AI, powered by vast datasets, can generate stories that sometimes compete, or even surpass (超越), those written by humans. Besides, AI’s ability to craft compelling, human-like stories also poses a societal risk: the spread of misinformation. Fake news, which once required significant effort, can now be produced with ease. This is especially concerning because decades of research have shown that people are often more influenced by stories than by clear arguments. Stories offer readers a transportation — the feeling of being transported to and fully engaged in an imagined world. You’ve likely experienced this while losing yourself in the magic world of Harry Potter or 19th-century English society in Pride and Prejudice. This kind of engagement lets you experience new places and understand others’ perspectives, often influencing how you view your own life afterward. When you’re transported by a story, you not only learn by observing, but your doubt is also reduced. You’re so absorbed in the storyline that you let your guard down, allowing the story to influence you without causing doubt in it or the feeling of being controlled. Given the great influence of stories can AI tell a good one? Our experiments tested if AI could create engaging stories. We had AI generate three narratives, which over 2,000 participants rated. Regardless of labeling, human-written stories were found more “transporting”. Participants questioned AI stories less and found AI-labeled stories less appealing and more doubtful. Analysis showed AI stories had longer paragraphs, while human stories displayed more stylistic diversity, enhancing engagement. AI writes fluently and believably but lacks creativity and real-life experience. It’s too early to come to a definitive conclusion about whether AI can eventually be used for high-quality storytelling. For now screenwriters and novelists aren’t at risk of losing their jobs. AI can tell stories, but they aren’t quite equal to the best human storytellers. Still, as AI continues to develop, we may see more compelling stories generated by machines, which could pose serious challenges. 32. What do we know about AI storytelling? A. It is unique and innovative. B. It is accurate and promising. C. It threatens human storytelling. D. It resists real-life experience. 33. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The influential power of stories. B. The historical context of novels. C. The emotional connection to fictional worlds. D. The importance of imagination in storytelling. 34. What is implied in the third paragraph? A. AI-written stories lack fluency and reliability. B. Diverse styles improve the reading experience. C. The variety in writing styles is AI’s strengths. D. Creativity means longer paragraphs and sentences. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards the stories by AI? A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Disapproving. D. Objective. 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。 Daily stress can pile up, leading to emotional burnout. ____36____ The good news is that there are many ways to dip into our ability for courage. See ourselves as courageous. If we describe ourselves as “courageous”, we are more likely to act courageously. We can take time to note all the courageous actions we have already taken in our lives. For example, when we consider how our childhood struggles inform our current relationships with others or how we’ve learned to deal with a health issue, we may be more likely to experience positive emotions and reconnect with personal values and beliefs. ____37____ Look for the heroes. If we are feeling anxious, it can be helpful to draw inspiration from others — whether near or far, real or fictional. The individuals we admire may represent some aspect of our ideal selves as they demonstrate moral courage through difficult times and a desire to do good in the world. ____38____ Studies suggest that seeing images of heroes may move us to sense greater meaning in our lives — and even increase our drive to help others. Keep trying. ____39____ As our fears lessen, we are more likely to persist in learning — to keep trying despite the obstacles ahead of us. And persistence, as a character strength, can also be modeled, observed and developed. In fact, when adults model persistence in working towards a goal, infants as young as 15 months tend to copy that behavior. ____40____ We can act on our values in community. We are finding courage in groups. We are participating in social and emotional communities of practice, circles of courage, and other “circles” practices to nurture a sense of belonging, find emotional support, and engage in collective action. Social groups like these promote interdependence, social identity, and cohesion and influence courageous behavior, too. A. Courage explores your strengths. B. Become part of a social force for courage. C. Courage at work also requires perseverance. D. Consider courage to be a foundational virtue. E. It can lead to a sense of disinterest in our work. F. They also inspire us to live more meaningful lives. G. These practices can inspire future courageous behaviors. 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。 The life of my son is filled with the demands of school, athletics, and his blooming social life.

Our first choice for a campsite on Mt. Defiance was crowded, so we redirected to nearby Bear Lake, a smaller, less popular location with only one established site. But when we reached the lake, we were disappointed. So we decided to leave our packs on the trail, go separate ways, and search out a prettier, more lonely spot. Of course, it wasn’t smart to leave our packs— map, compass, headlamp, water bottle, everything— behind, but who hasn’t done something like it before? Almost as soon as I left the trail, I got turned around in the thick forest at dusk. I should have called out to Joey, but I didn’t believe I could really be lost. Instead, I walked to a high point to relocate myself. As the last of the light faded, I beat a path back towards the trail. I was scanning for our packs when I stepped right off of a high rock and fell 50 feet into a narrow canyon. I heard a snapping sound as I landed legs-first on a pile of rocks, and in the brief moment before I passed out from the pain, I remember one thing: puzzlement. Over the following two days I endured unimaginable pain, using every possible means to survive. I ate various berries, avoiding white berries and seeking group-style berries like blackberries and raspberries. I tried eating insects and caterpillars, though these attempts were mostly unsuccessful. As darkness fell quickly in the valley, I piled dry grass over my body to stay warm when temperatures dropped to 40°F. I used pieces of clothing to keep my cut clean. Meanwhile, when Joey realized I was missing the next morning, he sprang into action. He first checked our signaling devices and extra supplies carefully, knowing their importance. He then retraced our steps as best he could, looking for any sign of me. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Unable to find me on his own, he made the crucial decision to seek help. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the third morning, I woke up to the sound of a helicopter. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025学年度上学期高三年级期末考试 英语 本卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号等填写在答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡的指定位置。考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B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。 3. 回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 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。 例： How much is the shirt?

But every college I went to — and there were three professors who accepted me — all said, “Forget art, get a camera, hit the button, crash, there’s your picture, so it’s not worth it.” W: And you believed them? M: I did. That was my biggest mistake. I haven’t picked up a paintbrush since. W: How did your father respond when you told him you weren’t going to the art college? M: His face was white with anger. W: What did he say? M: He said, “Alright, that’s it. I’ve got a perfectly good job for you on the factory floor. You start this week. Take it or leave it.” W: How did you react then?

W: Well, you need to know how to turn your first idea into clothes that are ready for someone to wear. It’s useful to know about materials like wool and cotton. The most significant thing though is a knowledge of the techniques used in creating clothes. M: And what about the current fashion scene? W: I feel that the main aim now is to make clothes easy for people to wear. And actually sports clothes are what make the most money for the fashion industry. But I’d like to see more of fashion as a kind of art. M: Do you find it easy to think of new designs? W: Oh yes. I often get my ideas from things I see when I’m out in streets and parks. I don’t get many ideas from clothes in museums, although I know other designers do. M: And are you working on any new projects at the moment? W: Well, my big ambition is to put on a fashion show in New York, but no luck yet! I’ve been asked to design the clothes for a film though, so I’m working on that.

Drop in to control the dome (穹顶) and choose which planets, moons and more to explore.(在这全新的天文馆体验中，开启一场宇宙自助游！走进这里，你就可以操控穹顶，选择你想要探索的行星、卫星等天体！)”可知，在Planetarium Pilots活动中，游客们可以自主控制穹顶、自由选择要探索的星球、卫星等天体。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Traditions of the Fall Sky: 11:00 am & 3:00 pm部分“Follow your star map and learn the Chinese names for planets, the Viking, Maya, Hindu, and Roman tales associated with the Sun and Moon(跟随你的星图，了解行星的中文名称，以及维京人、玛雅人、印度人和罗马人与太阳和月亮相关的传说)”可知，Traditions of the Fall Sky活动中涉及不同的文化。故选B。 B When I applied for a part-time job at my local library, I had no idea that I’d be asked to sing and dance several times a week. I would have run. I thought I’d sit behind a desk and get reacquainted with some of my favorite childhood authors, while helping parents find books for their well-behaved children. My dream of it being a quiet desk job was destroyed the first time I co-hosted “Toddler Time” with 45 kids mostly going in 45 different directions. We took turns reading books, hosting a puppet show, and handing out crafts. Even though we wore microphones, the children could barely hear us above the noise. One day a woman approached me with her library card, asking about free zoo tickets that she heard were available through our card, mentioned on a Colorado radio station. I explained we were in Texas, under a different library system. When she asked what her card could get her here for free, I listed numerous resources and services — books, movies, games, clubs, classes, and more — but she seemed unimpressed. After a sigh, she walked away. Many of my days were spent guiding young readers through the library, alongside tasks like shelf-reading and removing damaged books. I also handled numerous questions from visitors unsure of what they wanted or who gave very vague (模糊的) clues about titles they sought, with some questions being particularly challenging to understand. A middle schooler once asked me, “Do you have any books on pH?” Thinking he had left several letters off his question, I responded with, “Huh?” He spoke more slowly as I looked in our catalog for two random letters and finally said, “No, sorry.” I was wrong. When I shared this request with my manager later, I received some wise advice. “Never say no or that you don’t know,” she said. “Always say, ‘Let’s find out.’” Lesson learned. Libraries today are about so much more than what’s on the shelves. They can be a place to get answers, to ask questions, or simply a friendly place to be alone. They can also be a place of attraction. Ah, that’s what makes a library so magical. 24. What did the author expect the library job to be? A. Busy and noisy. B. Quiet and relaxing. C. Boring and tiring. D. Challenging and fun. 25. Why does the author mention the woman in paragraph 3? A. To demonstrate the great challenges of the job. B. To illustrate the diverse resources of the library. C. To show the benefits of libraries in various states. D. To highlight the library’s wide range of free services. 26. What lesson did the author learn from the manager? A. Attempt to find a solution. B. Remember more book titles. C. Always be polite to readers. D. Ignore the demanding requests. 27. What major change can be inferred about libraries? A. Reduced children’s activities. B. Limited book borrowing quantities. C. Abandoned traditional book lending. D. Increased community service functions. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在图书馆兼职的经历，揭示了现代图书馆已从传统的静谧读书场所转变为多功能的社区中心，不仅提供书籍借阅，还举办各种活动和服务，满足不同人群的需求。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I thought I’d sit behind a desk and get reacquainted with some of my favorite childhood authors, while helping parents find books for their well-behaved children.(我想我会坐在桌子后面，重新认识一些我最喜欢的童年作家，同时帮助父母为他们表现良好的孩子找书)”可知，作者原本期望的图书馆的工作是安静且轻松惬意的。故选B。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“One day a woman approached me with her library card, asking about free zoo tickets that she heard were available through our card, mentioned on a Colorado radio station. I explained we were in Texas, under a different library system. When she asked what her card could get her here for free, I listed numerous resources and services — books, movies, games, clubs, classes, and more — but she seemed unimpressed. After a sigh, she walked away.(一天，一位女士拿着她的借书证来找我，询问她听说通过我们的借书证可以买到免费的动物园票，这是科罗拉多一家广播电台提到的。我解释说我们在德克萨斯州，在不同的图书馆系统下。当她问我用卡可以在这里免费得到什么时，我列出了许多资源和服务——书籍、电影、游戏、俱乐部、课程等等——但她似乎无动于衷。她叹了口气，走开了)”可知，作者提到女人是为了说明客户的需求很难被满足，这间接表明了该项工作存在巨大的挑战。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“When I shared this request with my manager later, I received some wise advice. “Never say no or that you don’t know,” she said. “Always say, ‘Let’s find out.’” Lesson learned.(当我把这个请求告诉我的经理时，我得到了一些明智的建议。“永远不要说不，或者你不知道，”她说。“总是说，‘让我们来看看。’”我吸取了教训)”可知，当面对客户提出的问题时，不要直接说不知道或拒绝，而是要尝试去寻找解决方法。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Libraries today are about so much more than what’s on the shelves. They can be a place to get answers, to ask questions, or simply a friendly place to be alone. They can also be a place of attraction.(今天的图书馆不仅仅是书架上的东西。它们可以是一个获得答案、提问的地方，也可以只是一个独处的友好的地方。它们也可以是一个吸引人的地方)”可推知，图书馆如今增加了很多的社区服务功能，不再局限于传统的书架上的书籍借阅。故选D。 C A lonely dolphin swimming off Denmark’s cold coast is chirping and yelling into the vast nothingness, and no one is responding. The 17-year-old bottlenose Dolphin, which locals named“Delle”, was first spotted wandering the Svendborgsund channel around five years ago. That’s unusual because the area is far outside the region dolphins normally pass through. Odder still, Delle appeared all on his own, a rarity for a highly social species that almost always travels in groups. The researchers listened in on Delle with an underwater microphone for 69 days. Delle was quite vocal (发声的) during those days. In total, researchers said they detected 2,239 whistles, 5,487 low-frequency tonal sounds, 767 percussive sounds and 2,288 burst pulses. Those burst pulses, which sound like a rapid series of clicks, were particularly interesting because dolphins often articulate those sounds as a sign of violence towards others in their group. But Delle was all alone. Delle also produced three separate signature whistles. Bottlenose dolphins ordinarily have one unique whistle, which functions similar to a name they use to identify themselves to others. “I thought we might pick up a few distant whistles or something along those lines,” Olga Filatova said. “I certainly didn’t anticipate recording thousands of different sounds.” The researchers were unsure why Delle was so vocal. Initially, they imagined it might communicate with a nearby paddle boarder, but this was disproven when it vocalized without people present. Another theory was that it called for other dolphins, yet its long separation made this unlikely. Filatova suggested a more reasonable reason: Delle might make involuntary emotional sounds, like humans laughing privately. A more speculative (猜测的) idea is that, like humans engaging in “self-talk” when separated long-term, Delle might talk to itself due to a lack of social interaction. However, the researchers warned against over-interpreting, as human self- talk is not fully understood. There’s one other maybe deeper mystery though that the study does not fully answer. Why did Delle decide to go it alone in the cold Baltic Sea in the first place? Was he banned from his group? Did he somehow get lost off course? We will likely never know for sure. 28. What does the author describe in the first paragraph? A. A safe environment for marine life. B. A lost dolphin returning to his group. C. A dolphin behaving strangely alone. D. A wandering dolphin across the channel. 29. What does the underlined word “articulate” mean in paragraph 2? A. Absorb. B. Reflect. C. Transform. D. Release. 30. Which best describes the reasons behind Delle’s vocal behavior? A. Uncertain. B. Unusual. C. Evident. D. Authoritative. 31. What might be the best title for the text? A. A Wandering Dolphin Gets Its Name B. Dolphins Whistle to Show Their Identity C. Lonely Delle Yells in Baltic Sea for Years D. Dolphins Self-talk to Get Rid of Loneliness 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在丹麦寒冷的海岸边独自游弋的17岁宽吻海豚Delle。研究人员对其活动进行了大量的研究，但它为何独自来到波罗的海仍然是个谜。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The 17-year-old bottlenose Dolphin, which locals named“Delle”, was first spotted wandering the Svendborgsund channel around five years ago. That’s unusual because the area is far outside the region dolphins normally pass through. Odder still, Delle appeared all on his own, a rarity for a highly social species that almost always travels in groups.( 这只17岁的宽吻海豚，当地人叫它“Delle”，大约五年前，人们第一次发现它在斯文堡松海峡游荡。这是不寻常的，因为该地区远远超出了海豚通常经过的区域。更奇怪的是，Delle是独自出现的，这对于一个高度社会化的物种来说是罕见的，因为它几乎总是成群结队地旅行。)”可知，作者在第一段描述了一只独自行为怪异的海豚。故选C项。 【29题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“…those sounds as a sign of violence towards others in their group.( ……这些声音作为对群体中其他动物暴力的标志。)”可知，那些脉冲声是作为对群体中其他成员攻击的一种信号，而声音是发出的，所以此处应表示海豚经常发出那些声音。画线词应意为“发出、释放”，与Release“释放”意思相近。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The researchers were unsure why Delle was so vocal. Initially, they imagined it might communicate with a nearby paddle boarder, but this was disproven when it vocalized without people present. Another theory was that it called for other dolphins, yet its long separation made this unlikely. Filatova suggested a more reasonable reason: Delle might make involuntary emotional sounds, like humans laughing privately. A more speculative (猜测的) idea is that, like humans engaging in “self-talk” when separated long-term, Delle might talk to itself due to a lack of social interaction. However, the researchers warned against over-interpreting, as human self- talk is not fully understood.( 研究人员不确定Delle为何如此发声。最初，他们认为它可能会与附近的桨板交流，但当它在没有人在场的情况下发声时，这种想法被证明是错误的。另一种理论是，它需要其他海豚，但它的长期分离使这种可能性不大。Filatova提出了一个更合理的原因：Delle可能会发出无意识的情感声音，就像人类私下里的笑声一样。一个更具推测性的想法是，就像人类在长期分离时进行“自言自语”一样，Delle可能会因为缺乏社交互动而自言自语。然而，研究人员警告不要过度解读，因为人类的自我对话并没有被完全理解。)”可知，研究人员先是表明不确定Delle为何如此发声，接着列举了多种不成立的猜测：它是在与附近桨板划手交流；它在呼唤其他海豚；它像人类一样发出情绪性声音、像人类一样自言自语，最后，研究人员警告不要过度解读其背后的原因，可推知，本段主要是对Delle发声行为背后的原因进行了各种猜测，但真正的原因尚未表明。故选A项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要是围绕一只独自在波罗海活动的海豚Delle展开，讲述了其独自活动且爱发声的情况以及研究人员对其发声原因等方面的探究，原文中多处体现了这只海豚在波罗的海独自“呼喊”等关键内容。C项“孤独的Delle在波罗的海呼喊多年”概括全文，适合作文章的标题。故选C项。 D Stories define people — they shape our relationships, cultures and societies. Unlike other skills replaced by technology, storytelling has remained uniquely human, setting people apart from machines. But now, even storytelling is being challenged. AI, powered by vast datasets, can generate stories that sometimes compete, or even surpass (超越), those written by humans. Besides, AI’s ability to craft compelling, human-like stories also poses a societal risk: the spread of misinformation. Fake news, which once required significant effort, can now be produced with ease. This is especially concerning because decades of research have shown that people are often more influenced by stories than by clear arguments. Stories offer readers a transportation — the feeling of being transported to and fully engaged in an imagined world. You’ve likely experienced this while losing yourself in the magic world of Harry Potter or 19th-century English society in Pride and Prejudice. This kind of engagement lets you experience new places and understand others’ perspectives, often influencing how you view your own life afterward. When you’re transported by a story, you not only learn by observing, but your doubt is also reduced. You’re so absorbed in the storyline that you let your guard down, allowing the story to influence you without causing doubt in it or the feeling of being controlled. Given the great influence of stories, can AI tell a good one? Our experiments tested if AI could create engaging stories. We had AI generate three narratives, which over 2,000 participants rated. Regardless of labeling, human-written stories were found more “transporting”. Participants questioned AI stories less and found AI-labeled stories less appealing and more doubtful. Analysis showed AI stories had longer paragraphs, while human stories displayed more stylistic diversity, enhancing engagement. AI writes fluently and believably but lacks creativity and real-life experience. It’s too early to come to a definitive conclusion about whether AI can eventually be used for high-quality storytelling. For now, screenwriters and novelists aren’t at risk of losing their jobs. AI can tell stories, but they aren’t quite equal to the best human storytellers. Still, as AI continues to develop, we may see more compelling stories generated by machines, which could pose serious challenges. 32. What do we know about AI storytelling? A. It is unique and innovative. B. It is accurate and promising. C. It threatens human storytelling. D. It resists real-life experience. 33. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The influential power of stories. B. The historical context of novels. C. The emotional connection to fictional worlds. D The importance of imagination in storytelling. 34. What is implied in the third paragraph? A. AI-written stories lack fluency and reliability. B. Diverse styles improve the reading experience. C. The variety in writing styles is AI’s strengths. D. Creativity means longer paragraphs and sentences. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards the stories by AI? A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Disapproving. D. Objective. 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了AI讲故事的现状及其对人类讲故事的影响。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段中“AI, powered by vast datasets, can generate stories that sometimes compete, or even surpass (超越), those written by humans. Besides, AI’s ability to craft compelling, human-like stories also poses a societal risk: the spread of misinformation. (由庞大数据集驱动的AI能够生成故事，有时这些故事能与人类创作的故事相媲美，甚至超越它们。此外，AI创作引人入胜、类似人类故事的能力也带来了社会风险：即误传信息的传播)”可知，AI讲故事对人类讲故事构成了威胁。故选C。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。通读第二段，尤其是由第二段第一句“Stories offer readers a transportation — the feeling of being transported to and fully engaged in an imagined world. (故事为读者提供了一种沉浸感——仿佛被带入并完全沉浸在一个想象中的世界中的感觉)”可知，第二段主要讲述的是故事对读者的影响力。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段中“Analysis showed AI stories had longer paragraphs, while human stories displayed more stylistic diversity, enhancing engagement. (分析显示，AI创作的故事段落更长，而人类创作的故事在风格上更加多样，增强了沉浸感)”可知，多样化的风格可以改善阅读体验。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“It’s too early to come to a definitive conclusion about whether AI can eventually be used for high-quality storytelling. For now, screenwriters and novelists aren’t at risk of losing their jobs.AI can tell stories, but they aren’t quite equal to the best human storytellers. Still, as AI continues to develop, we may see more compelling stories generated by machines, which could pose serious challenges. (现在对于AI是否最终能用于高质量的故事讲述还没有定论，编剧和小说家的工作也不会马上被取代，AI可以讲故事，但还不能与最好的人类故事讲述者相提并论。然而，随着AI的不断发展，我们可能会看到更多由机器生成的引人入胜的故事，这可能会带来严峻的挑战)”可知，作者既看到了AI讲故事的潜力，也看到了其局限性，对AI讲故事的态度是客观的。故选D。 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。 Daily stress can pile up, leading to emotional burnout. ____36____ The good news is that there are many ways to dip into our ability for courage. See ourselves as courageous. If we describe ourselves as “courageous”, we are more likely to act courageously. We can take time to note all the courageous actions we have already taken in our lives. For example, when we consider how our childhood struggles inform our current relationships with others or how we’ve learned to deal with a health issue, we may be more likely to experience positive emotions and reconnect with personal values and beliefs. ____37____ Look for the heroes. If we are feeling anxious, it can be helpful to draw inspiration from others — whether near or far, real or fictional. The individuals we admire may represent some aspect of our ideal selves as they demonstrate moral courage through difficult times and a desire to do good in the world. ____38____ Studies suggest that seeing images of heroes may move us to sense greater meaning in our lives — and even increase our drive to help others. Keep trying. ____39____ As our fears lessen, we are more likely to persist in learning — to keep trying despite the obstacles ahead of us. And persistence, as a character strength, can also be modeled, observed and developed. In fact, when adults model persistence in working towards a goal, infants as young as 15 months tend to copy that behavior. ____40____ We can act on our values in community. We are finding courage in groups. We are participating in social and emotional communities of practice, circles of courage, and other “circles” practices to nurture a sense of belonging, find emotional support, and engage in collective action. Social groups like these promote interdependence, social identity, and cohesion and influence courageous behavior, too. A. Courage explores your strengths. B. Become part of a social force for courage. C. Courage at work also requires perseverance. D. Consider courage to be a foundational virtue. E. It can lead to a sense of disinterest in our work. F. They also inspire us to live more meaningful lives. G. These practices can inspire future courageous behaviors. 【答案】36. E 37. G 38. F 39. C 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在面对日常压力和情绪耗竭时培养勇气的方法。 【36题详解】 由上文“Daily stress can pile up, leading to emotional burnout. (日常压力会不断累积，导致情感耗竭。)”及下文“The good news is that there are many ways to dip into our ability for courage. (好消息是，有很多方法可以激发我们的勇气。)”关于日常压力导致情感耗竭及激发勇气的方法可知，本空应进一步说明日常压力带来的负面影响，引出下文关于激发勇气的方法。E选项“It can lead to a sense of disinterest in our work. (它会导致我们对工作失去兴趣。)”中的it指代上文提到的日常压力导致的情感耗竭，且能引出下文关于激发勇气的方法，符合题意。故选E。 【37题详解】 由上文“We can take time to note all the courageous actions we have already taken in our lives. For example, when we consider how our childhood struggles inform our current relationships with others or how we’ve learned to deal with a health issue, we may be more likely to experience positive emotions and reconnect with personal values and beliefs. (我们可以花时间记录下我们生活中已经采取的所有勇敢的行动。例如，当我们思考童年的挣扎是如何影响我们当前与他人的关系，或者我们是如何学会处理健康问题的，我们可能更容易体验到积极的情绪，并与个人价值观和信仰重新建立联系。)”关于记录勇敢行为及积极影响的描述可知，本空应总结上文提到的记录勇敢行为对未来勇敢行为的影响。G选项“These practices can inspire future courageous behaviors. (这些做法可以激发未来的勇敢行为。)”中的These practices指代上文提到的记录勇敢行为，且能总结上文，符合题意。故选G。 【38题详解】 由上文“The individuals we admire may represent some aspect of our ideal selves as they demonstrate moral courage through difficult times and a desire to do good in the world. (我们钦佩人可能代表了我们理想自我的某些方面，因为他们在困难时期表现出了道德勇气，并渴望为世界做好事。)”关于我们钦佩的人代表理想自我及道德勇气的描述可知，本空应进一步说明他们对我们生活的影响。F选项“They also inspire us to live more meaningful lives. (他们也激励我们过上更有意义的生活。)”中的they指代上文提到的我们钦佩的人，且能进一步说明他们对我们生活的影响，符合题意。故选F。 【39题详解】 由上文“Keep trying (继续努力。)”可知，本空需要强调勇气与坚持的关系。C选项“Courage at work also requires perseverance. (工作中的勇气也需要毅力。)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选C。 【40题详解】 由下文“We can act on our values in community. We are finding courage in groups. We are participating in social and emotional communities of practice, circles of courage, and other “circles” practices to nurture a sense of belonging, find emotional support, and engage in collective action. Social groups like these promote interdependence, social identity, and cohesion and influence courageous behavior, too. (我们可以在社区中按照自己的价值观行事。我们在群体中寻找勇气。我们正在参与社会和情感实践社区、勇气圈和其他“圈”的实践，以培养归属感，找到情感支持，并参与集体行动。像这样的社会团体也促进相互依赖、社会认同和凝聚力，并影响勇敢的行为。)”关于在群体中寻找勇气及社会团体对勇敢行为的影响可知，这里需要一个句子来概括下文的主题，即成为勇敢的社会力量的一部分。B选项“Become part of a social force for courage. (成为勇敢的社会力量的一部分。)”能概括下文的主题，符合题意。故选B。 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。 The life of my son is filled with the demands of school, athletics, and his blooming social life.

Our first choice for a campsite on Mt. Defiance was crowded, so we redirected to nearby Bear Lake, a smaller, less popular location with only one established site. But when we reached the lake, we were disappointed. So we decided to leave our packs on the trail, go separate ways, and search out a prettier, more lonely spot. Of course, it wasn’t smart to leave our packs— map, compass, headlamp, water bottle, everything— behind, but who hasn’t done something like it before? Almost as soon as I left the trail, I got turned around in the thick forest at dusk. I should have called out to Joey, but I didn’t believe I could really be lost. Instead, I walked to a high point to relocate myself. As the last of the light faded, I beat a path back towards the trail. I was scanning for our packs when I stepped right off of a high rock and fell 50 feet into a narrow canyon. I heard a snapping sound as I landed legs-first on a pile of rocks, and in the brief moment before I passed out from the pain, I remember one thing: puzzlement. Over the following two days, I endured unimaginable pain, using every possible means to survive. I ate various berries, avoiding white berries and seeking group-style berries like blackberries and raspberries. I tried eating insects and caterpillars, though these attempts were mostly unsuccessful. As darkness fell quickly in the valley, I piled dry grass over my body to stay warm when temperatures dropped to 40°F. I used pieces of clothing to keep my cut clean. Meanwhile, when Joey realized I was missing the next morning, he sprang into action. He first checked our signaling devices and extra supplies carefully, knowing their importance. He then retraced our steps as best he could, looking for any sign of me. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Unable to find me on his own, he made the crucial decision to seek help. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the third morning, I woke up to the sound of a helicopter. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Unable to find me on his own, he made the crucial decision to seek help. He hurried to the nearest point where he could contact local authorities, explaining the situation clearly and providing detailed information about our planned route and the last location he had seen me. He accompanied them on their search in a helicopter, guiding them to the areas we had been in, using his memory and any markings he could recall. His quick thinking and decisive actions were essential in setting the search and rescue operation in motion and giving me a better chance of being found and rescued. On the third morning, I woke up to the sound of a helicopter. With the last of my strength, I waved a sock to signal for help. Rescue teams, guided by Joey’s detailed information and firm efforts, spotted me. Rescuers reached my location. They provided immediate medical assistance and airlifted me to safety. Joey had worked tirelessly with authorities, retracing our steps and providing crucial details that hastened my rescue. I realized how fragile life is and how Joey’s loyalty and quick actions had saved me. I was filled with gratitude, promising never to take such risks again. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和朋友Joey在俄勒冈州的一次露营探险经历，详细描绘了作者在迷路、受伤、求生以及最终被救援的全过程。 详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“靠自己找不到我后，他做出了一个关键的决定，那就是寻求帮助。”以及第二段首句内容“第三天早上，我被直升机的声音吵醒。”可知，第一段可描写Joey找到当地当局寻求帮助。 ②由第二段首句内容“第三天早上，我被直升机的声音吵醒。”可知，第二段可描写作者听到直升飞机的声音后，积极自救，并最终成功获救。 2.续写线索：Joey找不到作者后，做了一个明智的决定——他找到当地当局寻求帮助——他详细说明了情况后，和救援小组一起搜寻作者——正因为Joey的快速思维和果断行动才让作者有机会获救——第三天早上，作者被直升机的声音吵醒——作者用尽全力进行自救——救援人员也发现了作者，并用直升机将作者送到安全地带——通过这件事，作者非常感激Joey，同时也发誓不再冒险 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①紧急赶往：hurry to/rush to ②提供：provide/offer ③陪伴：accompany/keep sb. company 情绪类 ①忠诚：loyalty/allegiance/faithfulness ②感激：gratitude/thankfulness 【点睛】【高分句型1】He hurried to the nearest point where he could contact local authorities, explaining the situation clearly and providing detailed information about our planned route and the last location he had seen me.(运用了where引导的定语从句和省略关系词的定语从句) 【高分句型2】I realized how fragile life is and how Joey’s loyalty and quick actions had saved me.(运用了how引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
