B Ever since my daughter Gabi was just a young child,she has been curious about the world around her,always ready to ask "why"and "how"questions.I thought it eould be fun to talk to my daughter about female scientists.I discovered there was a scientist,Ada Lovelace.She had a love for mathematics and a belief that computers can be used to finish many tasks humans do.I told Gabi about Lovelace's contributions to the field and the impact she had on me as a scientist and mathematician. Today,computers are such an essential part of our daily lives:;we can't imagine living without them.The idea that computers can go beyond just calculating numbers and perform any abstract operation is the phenomenon of our technology.However,not everyone knows that this idea dates back to long before the first programmable,general-purpose digital computer was introduced in the 1940s.This concept goes back to the 1800s,thanks to Lovelace,a pioneer in mathematics and computing,who was recognized as the first computer programmer. Lovelace also held her belief that while computers had endless potential,they could not be truly intelligent.She argued that Al can't create anything original without learning from human input.This is still true today as AI becomes increasingly common in our everyday lives.While ChatGPT and similar AI tools may seem to have a"mind"of their own,those tools are simply parroting human-generated content on the internet. Lovelace was an incredibly intelligent woman,who contributed so much to mathematics and computer science.Her enthusiasm and determination led her to look further and search deeper.I hope Loyelace will inspire my daughter and other young girls to consider following in her footsteps 24.What can be learned about Gabi? A.She has great admiration for Lovelace. B.She has a dream of becoming a scientist C.She shows strong curiosity about the world. D.She believes computers are as smart as humans. 25.What does the author stress in paragraph 2? A.The invention of computers. B.Lovelace's contribution to science. C.The development of technology. D.Lovelace's education background. 26.What does the underlined word "parroting"in paragraph 3 mean? A.Repeating. B.Creating. C.Appreciating. D.Imagining. 永州市2024年下期高二期末质量监测试卷·英语第4页（共10页） 27.What's the author's purpose of writing the text? A.To show her interest in science. B.To explain the significance of computers. C.To provide an example for girls to follow. D.To demonstrate the disadvantage of computers. c In rural Pakistan,a new project,called Improving Access to Sustainable Energy in Rural Pakistan Using Food and Fiber Agro-Waste as a Renewable Fuel(SAFER),aims to turn banana waste into a reliable source of electricity for off-gid(远离电网t的)communities.. Every year,Pakistan generates 80 million metric tons of agricultural waste from growing bananas.Academics from Northumbria University,in partnership with UK and Pakistani organizations,have developed an innovative two-part system that will make use of this waste product and provide benefits for local people at the same time.The first part will use new technology to turn the banana waste into textile fibers(纺织纤维)，and the second part takes the waste generated from that process and uses it to produce renewable(可再生的)energy. This will not only reduce the environmental impact of Pakistan's textile industry,but also bring cleaner electricity to the 50%of people living in rural areas of the country who currently rely on fossil (fuels for energy.The process has the potential to be applied to almost any form of agricultural waste,benefiting communities and the environment worldwide through the supply of renewable textiles and energy. Dr.Jibran Khalig,of Northumbria University,is a material scientist who researches turning waste energy."Pakistan's textile department is responsible for significant environmental impacts, including greenhouse gas emissions ()and microplastics,"said Dr.Khaliq in a statement. He revealed that his partners have developed a technology to turn banana waste into textile fibers,but the lack of electricity in rural Sindh,where the majority of the bananas are grown,has prevented this innovation from being scaled-up until now. "Over the next year we will be working to develop a new waste-to-energy technology.The technology will benefit the textile industry and local communities,improving soil fertility ( and food production through the generation of biofertilizers(生物肥料)，”he added. 28.What is SAFER intended to do? A.To reduce textile waste. B.To promote banana planting. C.To increase agricultural production. -D.To generate electricity from banana waste. 29.How does the author present the two-part system in detail? A.By giving a definition. B.By giving an example. C.By making a comparison. D.By making an explanation.. 永州市2024年下期高二期末质量监测试卷·英语第5页（共10页） + 30.What has prevented the wide application of the technology in rural Sindh? A.Lack of labor force. B.Electricity shortage. C.Insufficient funding. D.High cost of the technology. 31.What is a potential benefit of the new waste-to-energy technology? A.Developing agriculture. B.Decreasing soil fertility. C.Increasing use of fossil fuel. D.Promoting the sale of textile. D Glaciers (are enormous masses of ice created by snow that has become packed over many years.Hidden inside some of them are dramatic and beautiful caves called glacier caves(),which are made entirely of ice. How do they form?Ice caves,usually lying within or beneath glaciers,are formed by the meltwater of the glacier that flows through the ice during periods of rainfall or during the warmer months when the glacier ice is melting ()Where the melted water flows through cracks( in the ice,the cracks get bigger and bigger over time.Eventually,a glacier cave is formed. Glacier caves are valuable to glaciologists,scientists who study glaciers.Usually, glaciologists can study the surface of a glacier,but these caves let them see the underside and inside.Studying a glacier from the inside helps scientists learn about the way a glacier moves and slides. As the climate changes,glaciers are melting quickly,leading to rising sea levels.Glacier caves are changing quickly too.From one visit to the next,people might find that some rooms in a cave have disappeared while others have formed.Ice may have thickened or thinned as more air enters through places where the ice has melted through.Because of this,the volume has to be re-mapped every few weeks."It's very different from a rock cave,which never changes,"said Cartaya,a 46-year-old Forest Service worker and EMT in Bend,Oregon."Once you survey a rock cave,it's done.With these,every week it's changing." Glaciologists and other scientists measure these changes.The information can help them figure out what is happening with our sea levels and our planet.In recent years,data collected from the cave system has unlocked an important clue in tracking glacial loss.They hope to provide critical new information for understanding the impact of glacial loss on water resources and global sea level rise. 32.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A.The effects of glacier caves. B.The changes of glacier caves. C.The formation of glacier caves. D.The definition of glacier caves. 33.Why does the author mention Cartaya's words in paragraph 4? A.To prove a point. B.To introduce a topic. C.To draw a conclusion. D.To attract readers'interest. 求州市2024年下期高二期末质量监测试卷·英语第6页（共10页） 34.What can we leam from the text? A.Glacier caves change slowly. B.Glacier caves are made partly of ice. C.Meltwater flows through the ice cracks in colder weather. D.Glacier caves help figure out how glaciers move and slide.- 35.What do scientists think of the current research? A.Satisfying. B.Disappointing. C.Shocking. D.Confusing. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。 In a fast-paced world,mental tiredness is all too common.But it's more than just being a little tired-it can make you get into trouble,mess with your productivity,and even affect your well-being negatively.36,the good news is that there are steps you can take to lift that mental fog and regain clarity. Take a rest.Give yourself permission to step back and take a mental health break.Working non-stop or living on your worries endlessly will only further your tiredness.37,do something that mentally disconnects you from your stressors.
