(Text 10) Dinosaurs are often considered as giant creatures,but new research adds to evidence that they started out small.The evidence comes from the remains of a creature found on Madagascar that lived some 237 million years ago and stood just 10cm tall.It may also help reveal origins of flying creatures that ruled the skies at the time of the dinosaurs.Christian Kammerer from the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences said that there's a general idea of dinosaurs as being giants,but this new animal is surprisingly small. The creature that was found,named Kongonaphon kely,was discovered in 1998 in Madagascar by a team of scientists from the American Museum of Natural History.Its origins,that is,early dinosaurs,however,are poorly known,as few early creatures of their type have been found.The shape of the Kongonaphon kely's teeth suggests it ate insects rather than leaves or grass.A shift to this kind of diet,which is associated with small body size,may have helped early creatures survive by being different from their mostly meat-eating relatives. 【高二期末考试·英语卷参考答案第4页（共4页）】 5279B毛坦厂中学期末考试试卷 高二英语 考生注意： 1.满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对 应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径Q.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题 区城内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 3.本卷命题范围：选择性必修第一册至选择性必修第二册Unt2。 第一部分听力（共两节，满分20分） 如 第一节（共5小题：每小题1分，满分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.How does Paul go to his office?

B After finishing my teaching for a school year,I thought that I should go back to Montreal,Quebec,my hometown,for a visit.My main goal was to relax in preparation for the challenges of my retirement in the coming year. Through my stay in Montreal,I.met lots of Chinese who were trying hard to succeed and then led a better life in Canada.Some travelled thousands of miles to get knowledge.When I spoke with some of them about the major barrier they had to face after they arrived in Canada, they all talked about the two official languages of Canada.But I was impressed by their ability to express their ideas while they were changing between English and French. Almost all of those people said they often felt homesick.They missed their families and friends.Though Montreal had lots of Chinese restaurants,they longed for a home-cooked meal, 【高二期末考试·英语卷第3页（共8页）】 5279B I met some tourists who were trying to realize their childhood dreams of experiencing the life in a developed country.When I asked them if Montreal had lived up to their expectations, they hesitated.They said that reality never agreed with fantasies.However,they were glad to have the opportunity to visit Montreal and didn't regret taking the trip. Not all the Chinese people I met were happy.I once met a young lady who met with a gentleman through the Internet.However,to her disappointment,he disappeared after he promised to marry her in Montreal. I was served by another Chinese person who could not deal with the challenges of studying in an English-speaking environment and ended up working in a restaurant with low pay. Exploring different parts of the world,without any doubt,is a rich experience. However,one should be realistic when it comes to leaving his hometown to start a new life in a foreign country.One should spend time examining the advantages and shortcomings of the adventure before he decides to chase()an uncertain dream of achieving.success or leading a better life. 24.Why did the author go back to his hometown?

A.Improving life skills in Canada B.Exploring different parts of Canada. C.Struggling for a better life in Canada. D.Going to Canada-your ideal destination. C At a recycling center,two team members spend all day pulling items from a conveyor belt covered in garbage ()One pulls out juice cartons and plastic bottles that can be reprocessed,while the other searches for pollutants in the stream of paper products.They are Al-powered robots that each look like a supercharged mechanical arm.Yes,even recycling has gotten involved in the AI revolution. In theory,materials recovery facilities(MRFs)gather the wastes,sort them out,and then sell the materials to companies that can reuse them.In practice,the MRFs aren't all that good.The issue is that it's long been too hard for recycling plants to sort materials with the level of specificity,needed to reuse them.The traditional recycling methods succeed in separating waste into broad categories of paper,glass,and metal.But finer layers of detail often go unnoticed,especially with plastic.It's hard for recyclers to determine whether,say, a container is a milk container or a pesticide(杀电剂)container.. AI stands to make a change,giving recycling plants a far more detailed view into packaging.The AI-powered recycling robots are "vision systems":In the same way ChatGPT is trained,they ingest lots of photographs of thrown-away items in various states of damage. The robots are then able to identify even tiny differences in a product's color,shape,texture, or logo.Recycling operators said that traditional systems tend to be 85 to 95 percent accurate, while robotics companies claim up to 99 percent accuracy. That is not to say that the turn to AI has already fixed recycling.The high-tech systems won't come cheap-an individual robot can cost as much as $300,000.Even if costs eventually reduce,recycling robots can't change the fact that recycling,even at its best,is 【高二期末考试·英语卷第4页（共8页）】 5279B just not a particularly efficient way of dealing with single-use products.From a perspective focused on plastic pollution,what's better than a recyclable single-use cup is not using one at all, 28.What is described in the first paragraph?

C.The application of AI tools in recycling.D.A display of difficulties in waste sorting. 29.What is the challenge faced by recycling plants? A.The accuracy of waste sorting. B.The efficiency of waste management. C.The low profit from selling reusable materials. D.The unnoticed danger in collecting waste materials. 30.What does the underlined word "ingest"in paragraph 3 mean? A.Edit. B.Absorb. C.Copy. D.Download. 31.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.Single-use products should be limited. B.Costs of high-tech systems will increase. C.Recyclable products should be advocated. D.AI will be the.final frontier of recycling. D Curiosity-the strong wish to know,to discover,to learn.Inspired by curiosity,humans are found everywhere on our planet,and beyond it in space.Yet according to human behaviourist and author of Curious,Ian Leslie,although we are all born curious,not all of us bring this into adulthood,and we can lose out as a result. As Leslie explains,curiosity shapes us from the start.By trying new things,we build knowledge,and want to know more."We are born aware that we don't know stuff-we want to experience and discover.However,the contrast between childhood and adulthood is clear. "We ask 40,000 questions a year between the ages of two and five,"says Leslie-around 110 each day;adults,in comparison,ask just 20. As we get older,we may feel hesitant about asking questions,believing this reveals gaps in our knowledge.We can become scared to share unconventional ideas for fear of criticism or misunderstanding.We can also be a victim of our success,as Leslie explains."Once you've worked out how to do your job,then you don't feel curious anymore.The need to learn goes away-in a way,curiosity has done its job.But that doesn't mean you shouldn't cultivate it." Leslie's tips for cultivating curiosity begin with spending time with the experts- children."Talk to your kids,and try to answer those weird,difficult questions they have- like'What is air?'This makes you think about things you've taken for granted-it reawakens your curiosity in what's around us and how we perceive the world. So does finding what Leslie calls-an "informal mentor",through work or other circles, who is happy to share their expertise,from a skill,technology,to a field of learning."Try to think of people the way children think of adults-as sources of secret knowledge,a great store of learning you can tap into,"says Leslie. Leslie also suggests creating a "spark file"-a digital or physical notebook in which you collect interesting thoughts."Fill it with facts you've come across,sentences you like, insights that strike you.Let it be random.And let it build.Over time you'll build up a rich source of inspiration,and you'll think,'Oh that's interesting.That relates to this...'And suddenly your mind starts firing away with new ideas and ways of thinking." 32.According to Leslie,what happens as we get older? A.We are less aware of our knowledge gaps. B.We gradually lose our natural curiosity. C.We are unwilling to let others benefit from our ideas. D.We may think asking questions makes people foolish. 【高二期末考试·英语卷第5页（共8页）】 5279B 33.Which of the following sayings might Leslie agree with? A.A day's planning is best done at daybreak. B.In the eyes of a lover,Xi Shi will appear. C.When three people walk together,one can surely be my teacher. D.A master can lead you to the door,but the rest is up to you. 34.Which of the following is a characteristic of a "spark file"? A.It is carefully organized. B.It can help people connect ideas. C.It only contains complete sentences. D.It can help people improve their memory. 35.What is the author's aim in this text? A.To prove Ian Leslie's argument. B.To question Ian Leslie's conclusion.
