But a new study in the journal Science Advances suggests that there is another group at risk,and one that gets less attention..“Young people are subject to heat disproportionately(不成比例)，”says Andrew Wilson,an author of the new analysis. The study,which focused on Mexico,found that people under 35 made up three-quarters of the country's deaths related to heat in recent decades,with risks concentrated amongst children under 4 years old and young adults from 18 to 35.That percentage is likely to increase in the future as human-caused climate change increases the number of sticky,humid heat days in the country. The warming climate will also drive a drop in deaths related to cold weather,the study finds,at the same time as heat-related deaths rise.The study predicts that overall,deaths influenced by temperatures will drop within Mexico.But who is dying will likely change.The study finds that in the past,temperature-related deaths have been concentrated among seniors and driven mostly by cold weather.In a hotter world,the burden of temperature-related deaths is likely to shift toward younger people. The result is "a really surprising inequality across age groups,"says Wilson."The results underline the complexity of temperature-related deaths in a changing climate,"says Tamma Carleton, an environmental economist,who was not involved with the study.In many mid-latitude and northern regions,the number of overall deaths from extreme temperatures is projected to drop.But in places that are already hot,deaths from heat are projected to rise. "In some places of the world we're going to see net increases under warming because those heat increases are going to overpower declines on the cold side,"she says."But it is a dance that can look very different in different regions of the world."And the impacts,Carleton says,are generally much greater in countries that have historically contributed the least to human-driven climate change. 28.What does the underlined phrase"homed in on"probably mean? A.Met accidentally. B.Overlooked easily. C.Focused on intently. D.Addressed successfully. 29.How are paragraph 3 and 4 developed? A.By stating the process. B.By listing examples. C.By analyzing the reasons. D.By making comparisons 30.Which one is true regarding temperature-related deaths? A.Fewer people may die of cold while heat-related deaths will increase. B.The total number of temperature-related deaths will increase globally. C.There will be a significant drop in overall deaths due to climate change. D.Younger people will be less affected by temperature changes than seniors. 31.What will probably be talked about in the following paragraph? A.The risks of cold weather to seniors. B.The reasons for the temperature change. C.The suggestions for the risk-related group. D.The impacts of extreme temperature on population. 高二英语试卷，第5页（共10页） 扫描全能王创建 D Now,artificial intelligence(Al)is coming for the most attractive and exciting jobs.Stars may worry that AI is stealing their work and giving less talented performers the skills to take away their audience.In fact,the famous individuals complaining the most loudly about the new technology are the ones who stand to benefit the most.Far from weakening star power,AI will make the biggest celebrities bigger than ever by allowing them to be in all markets,in all types of media,at all times. This isn't the first time that technology has changed the rules of the fame game.People started talking about stars in the 18th century when the widespread access to reading materials made it possible to be truly famous within your lifetime.Film and radio originally seemed like a threat to stars,who worried their live performances would be devalued.In fact,those technologies started the era of the superstar,a term that caught on in the 1920s.A similar worry greeted the invention of television.But again,the new tech made the famous even more so,bringing them into every living room. As AI-generated content floods into the entertainment business,artists and entertainment professionals are worrying once more that their fame will be reducedand again,the outcome is likely to be the opposite.These opportunities come with conditions attached.Artists are right to worry about copyright,which must be protected if AI is not to become a legalised form of piracy. Until these copyright concerns are addressed,AI will be a legal Wild West. The bigger question is how the age of the all-around superstar will appeal to audiences.The risk is boredom.AI is brilliant at remixing and repeating old material but less good at creating exciting content that,for now,remains a human specialty. Yet the entertainment market is highly self-correcting.Audiences have the power to tumn a hot hit into a has-been one in an instant,as stars are all too aware.While AI-powered entertainment grows, consumers still seem to enjoy human drama.Sport,perhaps the most Al-proof,real-life event there is,has seen its value to media companies rise in recent years. 32.What is the primary concemn of stars in paragraph 1? A.The inability to master Al. B.The low level of their acting skills. C.The decline in their popularity. D.The improvement of audience's taste. 33.Why does the author mention"Film,radio and television"? A.To show the difficulties facing the stars then. B.To prove the techno-panic is common in history. C.To confirm AI will surely come into every family. D.To predict the trend of the technological development. 34.How can superstars attract audience according to the text? A.By avoiding the use of AI. B.By cooperating with directors. C.By learning more advanced technologies. D.By improving content creation. 35.What is the text mainly about? A.The era of AI is around the comer. B.AI creates a brand-new entertainment industry. C.AI makes stars worried and audience demanding. D.AI is more of a helper than an imagined threat to stars. 高二英语试卷，第6页（共10页） 扫描全能王创建 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。 Kien Vuu,a longevity (doctor,thinks about how his childhood love for singing shaped his life.Despite becoming a doctor,he continues to make time for karaoke(OK),believing doing what he really loves is important for physical and mental health.36 It's'a point to be explored shortly. 37 Actually,nothing could be further from the truth.Nearly all hobbies can provide a lot of positive health benefits.The science backs this up.A 2023 meta-analysis found strong evidence that leisure (activities can protect against heart disease and age-related issues like pain and disability. Besides improving physical health,hobbies improve the ability of the brain's neural( networks to change,adapt and make new connections.38 This could be the cause of how hobbies make use of the brain's flexibility,fostering new neural connections that enhance abilities beyond the specific skill itself. Basically,humans seek meaning,something that gives them a sense of purpose.39 It provides direction and a sense of achievement.Engaging in hobbies,especially those done in groups, helps build community,establish connections and strengthen bonds,all contributing to a greater sense of purpose and belonging. While a hobby is anything you do in your leisure time,not all hobbies are equal in promoting health and happiness.Whether you seek physical activity,mental inspiration,or community,the key is to find activities that truly bring joy.Avoid passive pastimes,like too much screen time,which often leave you feeling worse.40 Now it's your turn:Go find the thing that lights you up and do more of it. A.Following your likes is key to satisfying this need. B.It also stresses the need to balance work and leisure. C.People who play a musical instrument often do better in math. D.A widespread myth is that engaging in hobbies is a waste of time. E.This supports the idea that hobbies can bring us benefits in many aspects. F.Rather,choose hobbies that challenge your physical strength and mental focus. G.Instead,aim for hobbies that offer both short-term pleasure and long-term benefits. 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The heating element on my clothes dryer broke down this week.It took several days before I could get it 41 so when I found myself carrying my wet clothes over to my daughter's house to dry each day,I would 42 thought of my Mom's old dyer.It was 43 powered.It was called a clothes line.
