Mount Kenya has three peaks-Batian,Nelion and Lenana,among which only Lenana can be reached by average trekkers(徒步者)and the other two only for technical climbers.."(可知肯尼亚山海拔5199米，是一座古老的 死火山。肯尼亚山有三个山峰-巴提安、尼利翁和莱纳纳，其中只有莱纳纳普通徒步者可以到达，另外两座 只有专业技术登山者才能到达。)可知普通徒步者可以选择挑战Lenana山峰。故C项正确。 22.D推理判断题。根据Mount Meru里的As Tanzania's second highest mountain,Mount Meru is often used by mountaineers for an adaptation training before trying to conquer Kilimanjaro.(作为坦桑尼亚第二高的山，梅鲁山 在试图征服乞力马扎罗山之前，经常被登山者用来进行适应训练。)再根据其他山的高度介绍和攀登的介 绍，可推知乞力马扎罗山这座非洲最高的山是登山者最想挑战的。 23.B细节理解题。根据最后一段“Unlike the hikes that require permits and the company of park rangers,itis casual,and easily accessible.”(不像需要许可证的徒步旅行和公园管理员的陪同的地方，它很随意，也很容 易到达。)可知这个地方可以不需要管理员陪同。故选B 24.C推理判断题。根据前两段可知：“当孟锦涛还是个孩子的时候，他家乡农村的停电激起了他的好奇心： 为什么我们不能定期存电，停电时使用呢？现年29岁的孟用他先进的铁基流储能系统，把这个童年的好 奇心变成了现实。该技术以其巨大的存储容量、较高的安全标准和长期的耐久性而闻名，它代表了能源存 储方面的一个重大进步。”可知，孟锦涛已经成功地找到了新的储能解决方案。故选C项。 25.B细节理解题。根据第四段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 hem fire-resistant and safer.(他选择铁是因为其成本效益和中国丰富的铁资源。铁基流式储能系统也更经 济，并使用水作为解决方案，使其防火和更安全。)可知B项的经济优势为正确选项。 26.D推理判断题。根据文章描述孟锦涛通过大学所学知识，通过不懈努力把儿时的好奇心和梦想实现，成 功开发了铁激流储能系统。可以推断出他是一个有能力有决心的人。 27.A标题概括题。本文是介绍孟锦涛通过大学所学知识，结合在工作中观察开发实验，最终成功开了铁激 流储能系统，实现了儿时因为停电，产生的一个好奇心想法：为什么我们不能定期储存电力，然后在停电 时使用呢。最终通过知识和努力把儿时的好奇心想法变成现实。故A选项《从好奇到创造：孟锦涛的储能 之旅》为最适合标题。 28.D细节理解题。根据第二段中“The researchers are now in the midst of the process to grow new roots from the cuttings.The reason:To clone the historie tree,store its DNA and plant potentially thousands of cloned trees across the Southeast.(研究人员目前正在从插枝上培育新根。原因是：为了克隆这棵历史悠久的树，储存它的 DNA,并在东南部种植数千棵克隆树)”可知，研究人员的目的是从原树中克隆一棵古树。故选D。 29.B推理判断题。根据第四段“The most common method is by rooted cuttings..In this method,a tip of a tree's 【高二期末·英语参考答案第2页（共4页）】 10061B branch is dipped (into hormones,placed into a foam plug (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(密封)it in a container and wait to see whether it will grow roots.(最常见的方法是生 根扦插。在这种方法中，将树枝的尖端浸入激素中，放人泡沫塞中，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，将其浸人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“if one comes at all(如果有的 话)”和“whether it will grow roots(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。 30.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。 3l.C推理判断题。根据最后一段Scott Merkle所说的话“He added that the age of historic trees makes them difficult to study.“I think it's a great thing that they're doing...I just don't know how realistic it is.”(他补充说， 古树的年龄使得研究它们变得困难。“我认为他们正在做的事情很棒…我只是不知道这有多现实。”)'” 可知，Scott Merkle对这一团队的工作表示赞美，同时他也表示了自己的担忧，由此可推知，他的态度是谨 慎的，故选C 32.D推理判断题。根据第一段中Shortly after ChatGPT was released,in early2023,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 Al.The problem is a culture that devalues human labor.(2O23年初，ChatGPT发布后不久，一位名叫杰森·科拉维托的作家在社交 媒体上发帖说，一台电脑正在用人工智能取代他.因为它可以免费编写内容。但他也被要求比他正常工资 少很多一去“重写”人工智能生成的文本。这并不是科技第一次削减工资而不是削减工作岗位，真正的 问题也不是人工智能。问题在于一种贬低人类劳动的文化。由此可以推出这位作家因为工资降低而对A 不满，他发帖在社交媒体上是抱怨，故选D。 33,A推理判断题。根据第三段中“For example，,automated checkout machines kept employees busy,because now they were assisting confused customers,troubleshooting machines.and taking on other tasks to ensure their smooth operation in the store.(例如，自动结帐机让员工很忙，因为现在他们要帮助困惑的顾客，排除机器故障，并承 担其他任务，以确保他们在商店顺利运作。)”可知，Mateescu和Eish发现人类仍然需要处理人工智能产生 的问题。故选A。 34.C细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“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.(需要理解的关键点是，目前 技能下降和劳动贬低并不是因为机器人来了。这是一个文化问题。)”可知，人们贬低劳动是因为文化因 素。故选C 35.B主旨大意题。本文主要论述的是人工智能对未来工作的影响，人工智能并不是来夺走我们的工作的，而 是改变了工作的性质。人工智能属于高科技，故选B。 36~40 EGBFC 41.C考查名词词义辨析。句意：并不是说我喜欢收到那些预先打印好的纸条，但至少当我收到一张纸条时， 我很确定是一个有血有肉的编辑放在信封里的。此处指的是作者收到一名编辑的来信。故选C。 42.D考查动词词义辨析。句意：我总是有可能在底部看到一个手写的句子，表明这篇文章几乎成功了。A: demanding要求；B.suspecting怀疑；C.arguing争论：D.indicating表明。根据前文“And there was always the chance I might see a handwritten sentence on the bottom”可知，编辑留下的句子表明这篇文章几乎快要成功 了。故选D。 43.D考查形容词词义辨析。句意：MeCl的一位编辑写道：“恐怕我不得不拒绝这篇特殊的文章，但请再试 一试另一篇，好吗？”A.boring无聊的：B.novel新颖的；C.lengthy冗长的；D.particular特殊的。根据下文“but try me again on another,would you?”可知，这是对于拒绝投稿的委婉的说法，赞扬文章很特别，但是不得不拒 绝。故选D 44.B考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这几乎让我感到激动，就好像她在说：“我们将要买它，这是给你的预付 款。”A.upsetting令人苦恼的；B.thrilling令人激动的；C.embarrassing令人尴尬的：D.amusing引人发笑的。 根据后文“We川 it and here is an advance for you..”可知，因为就像是提前支付预付款，所以激动。 故选B。 45.A考查动词词义辨析。句意：同上。A.buy买；B.reject拒绝接受：C.check检查，查看；D.substitute代替。 根据后文“here is an advance for you'”可知，此处表示将要购买。故选A。 46.D考查动词词义辨析。句意：大多数编辑并不觉得必须承认他们已经收到、阅读或考虑过你的作品，因为 【高二期末·英语参考答案第3页（共4页）】 10061B 他们每天都会收到如此多的投稿。A.prove证明；B.determine决定；C.explain解释；D.acknowledge承认 根据前文“Nowadays,rejection slips seem to have disappeared with the use of online submissions.”可知，如今，由 于网上投稿的使用，退稿单似乎已经消失了，大多数编辑并不觉得必须承认他们已经收到、阅读或考虑过你 的作品。故选D 47.C考查连词词义辨析。句意同上要选择因果关系的词。故选C 48.A考查名词词义辨析。句意：对我来说，被拒绝的痛苦有三个阶段。A.stages阶段；B.wonders奇迹：C meanings意义；D.rewards奖励。根据后文的“The first'”,“then”和“finally'”可知，此处指被拒绝后的痛苦有 三个阶段。故选A。 49.B考查名词词义辨析。句意：首先是在一张毫无特色的纸上发现一个“不”字所带来的挫败感，然后是愤 怒（他们怎么能拒绝一份明显比他们印刷的大多数东西都要好得多的作品），最后是重生：我将在另一天提 交一份新作品。A.relief宽慰；B.frustration受挫；C.anger生气；D.hesitation犹豫。根据后文“by finding a flat “o”可知，发现被拒绝首先应该感受到的是挫败感。故选B。 50.C考查形容词词义辨析。句意：同上。A.valueless没有价值的：B.expensive昂贵的：C.characterless无个性 的；D.shiny发光的。根据“because they receive so many each day..”可知，编辑每天收到很多投稿， 拒绝投稿的纸条应该是没有个性的，千篇一律的。故选C。 5l.C考查动词短语辨析。句意：同上。A.make up组成，编造；B.put away把…收起来；C.turn down拒绝； D.take over接管。根据前文“hen followed by anger'”可知，此处表示他们怎么能拒绝一份明显比他们印刷的 大多数东西都要好得多的作品，由此作者感到很生气。故选C。 52.B考查形容词词义辨析。句意：同上。A.easier更容易的；B.better更好的：C.shorter更短的：D.longer更长 的。根据后文“han most of the stuff they print'”可知，作者认为自己的投稿明显比他们印刷的大多数东西都 要好得多。故选B。 53.D考查动词词义辨析。句意：同上。A.print打印；B.revise修改；C.download下载：D.submit提交。根据后 文“a new piece another day'”可知，此处表示重新提交一份新的作品。故选D。 54.A考查动词词义辨析。句意：学会接受拒绝似乎是作家成长的一部分。A.accept接受；B.criticize批评：C. judge评判；D.evaluate评估。根据后文“seems like part of growing up as a writer”可知，作者认为学会接受拒 绝是作为作家成长的一部分。故选A。 55.D考查形容词词义辨析。句意：尽管我收到了很多（稿件的）录用通知书，但我的“值得注意的拒绝通知 书”文件夹比“值得注意的录取通知书”文件夹要厚得多，这告诉我一个事实：我还有很长的路要走。A thinner更瘦的：B.newer更新的；C.older更老的；D.fatter更厚的。根据后文“which indicates to me the fact:I still have some growing up to do.”可知，作者“值得注意的拒绝通知书”文件夹比“值得注意的录取通知书”文 件夹要厚得多。故选D。 56.guided 57.awareness 58.us 59.a 60.Dating 61.which 62.On 63.were given 64.meaningful 65.made 写作： One possible version: Dear Ms.Lu.

Now 29 , Meng has turned this childhood curiosity into reality with his advanced iron-based flow energy storage system, Distinguished by its massive storage capacity, high safety standards, and long-term endurance, this technology represents a major advancement in energy storage. In 2013, Meng began his studies at Hefei University of Technology in Anhui, East China, 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 flow energy storage system. “This system functions like a large power bank for cities ,”he explained. According to Meng. While lithium (锂) 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 tangible 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 kilowatt-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 from the first two paragraphs?

Meng Jintao: Leading Figure in Power Generation Technology C.Lithium vs. lron: The Ongoing Battle for Better Energy Storage Solution D. The Future of Renewable Energy: Strengths and Weaknesses C “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 León'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 flew 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 cone 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(蘸) 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(密封) it in a container and wait to see whether it will grow roots. 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. Scott 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... I just don't know how realistic it is.” 28.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. 29. 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. 30.What does the underlined word “ lauded" in paragraph 5 mean? A.Praised. B. Met. C. Joined. D.Contacted. 31. What's Scott Merkle's attitude to the group's work? A.Doubtful. B.Positive. C. Cautious. D.Unclear. D Shortly after ChatGPT was released, in early 2023, a writer named Jason Colavito posted on social media that a computer was replacing him with AI, because it could write content for free But he is also wanted--at a small amount of his normal rate-to 'rewrite' the AI-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 was reducing the need for human labor, researchers Alexandr Vateescu and Madeleine Clare Elish discovered that introducing new device was most changing the nature of the work. For example, automated checkout machines keep employees busy, because now they were assisting confused customers, troubleshooting machines, and taking on other tasks to ensure their smooth operation in the store. Most importantly, Mateescu and Flish 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(乱) 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 society that is willing to let 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. 32. 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 that AI has replaced his most of work. 33.What can be inferred from Mateescu and Elish's findings? A.Humans are still needed to deal with A[-generated problems B.Humans cannot understand the real value of their own jobs. C.New advanced devices are being integrated in various jobs. D.Automated technology is taking away almost all jobs. 34. Why do people devalue labor? A. Living pressure. B.Technological advances C.Cultural factors. D.Unemployment issues. 35. In which part of a newspaper may you read this passage? A.Travel. B.Technology. C.Health. D.Medicine 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人空白处的最佳选项。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 hedonism(享乐主义). Yet 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 better mood.

But from that day on, I could write how my home, in her determined way, saved our elderly neighbor. The event that stands out in my memory happened one morning when I was only 10 years old. I was doing my homework when I heard raised voices. At first I thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below our flat often became loud, but I soon realized this time it was different “ Quick! Quick! Remove the motorcycles from the shop,"someone yelled. Then a thick burning smell filled the air. When I opened the front door of our flat to have a look outside, a thick cloud of smoke, billowing(涌出) up from the ground floor, greeted me. It hit me that the motorcycle shop had caught fire. My mom, who bad been working in the kitchen, hurried to the living room.We rushed out of the door and along the corridor(走廊) through the smoke. We were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Mom stopped I and thought for a while. She turned around and headed back the way we came. Puzzled but having no idea what she was doing. I followed her. It became clear soon that Mom had remembered the lady in her 70s living next door to us, whom we called Jane. Mom began banging on the door, but got no answer, As the smoke thickened around us, I could see many of our neighbors-some still in their pyjamas (衣)--running for safety. The thought of fear crossed my mind. “She must have already run for safety like everyone else! Let's rush downstairs!” I begged. But Mom refused to give up. “I know Jane's still inside." She said she was familiar with Jane's daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping. 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 noticed the flame was reaching up.___________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Luckily, some neighbors passing by stopped and offered help._______________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
