B At the end of 2019,I learned that Here After AI, whose goal is to let the living communicate with the dead, was looking for applicants of its new AI project. Interested in what it was promising, I applied to experiment the software on my very-much-alive parents. At first, I thought it would be just a fun project to see what was technologically possible. Then their health condition added some urgency to the experiment. I was frightened that my parents might die since my father had been diagnosed with cancer and my mother was recently developing symptoms of early Alzheimer’s disease, and that with the distance between us, I might never have the chance to say goodbye. The first step was an interview. My parents were asked questions by a techician for hours-about everything from their earliest memories to what they believe will happen after they die. Whether through illness-generated concerns or a willingness to humor their daughter, my parents put up zero resistance. The company then took their responses and started to create the voice assistants. A few months later, my virtual parents arrived via email attachment. When I communicated with them through the app on my phone, my hands were shaking. I hadn’t seen my actual, real parents for six months. They told me personal stories I’d never heard. They gave me life advice and told me things about their childhoods, as well as my own. It was mesmerizing. Personally, I have mixed feelings about my experiment. I’m glad to have my virtual parents. They’ve enabled me to learn new things about my parents, and it’s comforting to think that those softwares will be there even when my parents aren’t. On the other hand, I can’t help but find it sad that it took a stranger interviewing my parents for me to properly appreciate the complex people they are. But I feel lucky to have had the chance to grasp that-and to still have the precious opportunity to spend more time with them and learn more about them, face to face, no technology involved. 4. Why did the author initially join the AI project? A. To test out the new technology. B. To preserve her parents’ voice. C. To learn more about her parents’ life. D. To remove the worry about her parents’ health. 5. What can we learn about the author’s parents? A. They liked talking a lot. B. They died from the illnesses. C. They opposed joining the project at first. D. They provided data for the project. 6. What does the underlined word “mesmerizing" mean in paragraph 4? A. Alarming. B. Fascinating. C. Inspiring. D. Disgusting. 7. What does the author realize at last? A. AI means never saying goodbye to our parents. B. The advances in AI technology have pros and cons. C. The real connection with our parents matters most. D. AI allows us to learn more about our virtual parents. C Adults who continuously played organized sports through their youth have fewer symptoms of anxiety and depression than those who never played or those who dropped out, a new study finds. “And those who dropped out of sports had poorer mental health than those who never played at all. But many more people drop out of youth sports than play continuously until they are 18.” said Chris Knoester, professor of sociology at The Ohio State University. “If you play and stick with sports, it’s a positive for your mental health, but if you play and drop out it seems to be negative — and most kids drop out,” Knoester said. The study showed that most people dropped out of sports because they weren’t having fun or felt they weren’t good enough. “That suggests ways youth sports can be improved to help kids,” said study lead author Laura Upenieks. “Our findings about why kids drop out of organized sports suggest that the current environment is less than ideal for everyone, and that the barriers to participation need to be given greater attention,” Upenieks said. “It is easy to see why sports can be good for those who are able to continue with it to adulthood,” Upenieks said. “The longer that youth are exposed to a positive and encouraging sporting environment, the more likely they are to develop habits that are conducive to longterm mental well-being, such as a commitment to regular exercise and collaborating with others as part of a team. The fact that so many kids quit shows that organized sports often don’t provide a positive environment. But there are steps adults can take to improve that environment. For one, sports should be safe for kids. The researchers said the fact that 8% said they were abused by coaches is particularly alarming. “And the finding that nearly half of kids quit because they weren’t having fun and about a third dropped out because they felt they weren’t good enough should also be a wake-up call,” Knoester said. “We need to improve youth sports so that it supports positive experiences for everyone and makes it more enjoyable,” he said. 8. What can we say about dropping out of sports? A. It has no impact on physical health. B. It’s beneficial to mental health. C. It keeps players playing into adulthood. D. It is worse for mental health than never playing. 9. What is one of the main reasons for kids dropping out of sports? A. They don’t get joy from exercise. B. They prefer individual activities. C. They are not physically fit enough. D. They are not academically related. 10. What is key to improving the youth sports environment? A. Reducing the number of coaches. B. Adding fun to youth sports. C. Changing the rules of sports. D. Providing more training partners. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. The Reason Why Kids Quit Sports B. The Benefits and Drawbacks of Playing Youth Sports C. The Impact of Youth Sports on Long-Term Mental Health D. Challenges and Solutions for Improving Youth Sports Programs D Ancient builders across the world created structures that are still standing today, thousands of years later. Roman engineers built thick concrete sea barriers, for example. And Chinese builders raised walls against invaders. But there are many recent structures that are already starting to fail. The concrete that makes up much of our modern world lasts around 50 to 100 years. A growing number of scientists have been studying materials from long ago. They are breaking apart pieces of buildings and reading historical texts hoping to learn how they have stood for thousands of years. The research has turned up a surprising list of materials that were mixed into old buildings. They include tree bark, volcanic ash, rice, beer and even urine (尿液). These unexpected materials could have the ability to get stronger over time and “heal” cracks when they form. Figuring out how to copy these features could have real impacts today. While our modern concrete has the strength to hold up very tall skyscrapers (摩天大楼) and heavy infrastructure (基础结构), it cannot compete with the endurance of these ancient materials. With the rising threats of climate change, there is a growing call to make construction more sustainable. A recent UN report estimates that the built environment is responsible for more than a third of carbon dioxide emissions worldwide. Cement (水泥) production alone makes up more than 7 percent of those emissions. Is ancient Roman concrete better? In places where seawater has been hitting structures for ages, you will find concrete “basically the way it was when it was poured 2,000 years ago,” said John Oleson, an archaeologist at the University of Victoria in Canada. Most modern concrete starts with Portland cement, a powder made by heating limestone (石灰岩) and clay to super-high temperatures and breaking them up. That cement is mixed with water to create a paste. Then, materials like rock and gravel are added. Records from ancient builders show the Roman process was similar. The ancient builders mixed materials like burnt limestone and volcanic sand with water and rocks, creating chemical reactions to tie everything together. Now, scientists think they have found an important reason why some Roman concrete has held up structures for thousands of years. The ancient material has an unusual power to repair itself. Exactly how is not yet clear, so scientists are starting to find reasons why. 12. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By making a comparison. B. By using a metaphor. C. By listing statistics. D. By telling stories. 13. Which aspect of ancient Roman building materials surprises scientists? A. Their high-end technology. B. Their processing procedure. C. Their amazing flexibility. D. Their necessary ingredients. 14. Which might be the impact of studying ancient building materials? A Reducing the greenhouse effects. B. Innovating the construction process. C. Increasing the mass production of cement. D. Removing the threats of the climate change. 15. What does the author intend to tell us? A. The urgency of tackling the environmental crisis. B. The secrets of long-standing ancient Roman buildings. C. The similarities between modern and Roman concrete. D. The breakthrough in repairing ancient Roman architecture. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Speak in Public Many people have a fear of public speaking.

He dreamed of becoming a city champion of the annual Teenager Windsurfing Race. To achieve it, he barely missed a single game or practice whatever the weather. After months of intense training, the big day finally arrived! The beach was crowded with the excited audience, including reporters and photographers. The speaker system was announcing the names of the windsurfers, calling them to get ready for the race. And there was David, in a line with other windsurfers, all of them moving nervously up and down on the waves behind an imaginary starting line. They were all fighting for the best position to start and were tense as a result, ignoring the vast sea they were on. The moment the starter’s signal sounded, David was off, so natural and quick. He pulled hard at his sail to race just ahead of the group. As he picked up speed, gliding (滑行) over the waves, he felt the familiar joy and freedom that windsurfing always gave him. What he loved was simply being out at sea. He could hardly stop himself from shouting out in excitement, rushing to the finishing line for the first. “Go! David!” The wind carried over a familiar voice. He looked around and spotted his elder sister Jessica on her speedboat upwind of him cheering for him. She waved at David and he nodded his head in acknowledgement, even though he knew she was too far away to see him. Just as he turned away, however, out of the comer of his eye, he saw smoke behind the speedboat, on the shore. Knowing that the smoke could tell him the direction the wind was blowing, he decided to study it for a moment out of habit. Just as he was getting a better sense of how to use the wind to his advantage, he saw it. 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。 Not just the smoke but a big fire! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The other windsurfers were far ahead of him at that time. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 长泰二中2025届高三上学期月考三英语试卷 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?

It occurred to him that it was from a restaurant where he once did a part-time job and that all the staff might be among the audience. He looked back at the beach, where all of the audience were too attentive to the race to be conscious of the fire. It was then that he made a resolution to turn around, passing by the other windsurfers and racing towards the shore, rather than the finishing line. The other windsurfers were far ahead of him at that time. Apparently, this promising teenager had withdrawn the Race. Many confused people who noticed his strange behavior also spotted the shocking smoke and fire on the shore. The teenager rushed towards the fire, followed by many adults, including the staff. More hands made light work. They put out the fire before it was too late, minimizing the losses. Due to his contribution, the organizing committee awarded David the sportsmanship Award. All the audience applauded him for his acceptance speech: “I don’t regret losing the chance of becoming a champion to help others.” 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
