B On a sunny afternoon during my trip to Singapore,a simple yet impactful event unfolded that has left a lasting impression on me.I was enjoying a stroll through the bustling streets, sipping on a refreshing milk drink.As I finished the last drop,I looked around for a trash bin to dispose of the empty carton.Spotting a row of bins,I casually tossed the carton into one, assuming it was the right placc for it. However,my action was not as environmentally conscious as I had thought.A local Singaporean,noticing my mistake,approached with a polite smile.He bent down,retrieved the carton I had discarded,and placed it into a different bin.I stood there,slightly embarrassed, as he explained with a kind gesture that I had mistakenly thrown it into the bin for non-recyclable waste. This small act was a powerful lesson in environmental awareness and the importance of following local recycling practices.It was a humbling moment,realizing that in a city-state known for its cleanliness and order,every individual plays a.part in maintaining its pristine environment.The man's action was not a scolding but a quiet demonstration of civic responsibility and respect for the environment.

C Robot guide dogs may soon become available to the 17 million visually impaired pcople in China thanks to researchers from Northwestern Polytechnical University,who achicved a breakthrough using an artificial intelligence language model. The AI guide dog can provide assistance in life such as crossing streets,using elevators and guiding indoor spaces without having to be connected to the internet.It is a big step in exploring the application of involved intelligence-an intelligent machine with a physical form that can interact with the environment in real-time using sensors to conduct instructions or make decisions.The research makes it possible to provide better guidance services for visually impaired people,especially for emotional companionship. “Though in recent years there have been some clectronic navigation aids(导航助手)，such as clectronic navigation helmets,navigation canes,and electronic guide dogs,they cannot engage in conversations with people or fully understand human instructions,said Sun Zhe,an associate professor at the university's School of Artificial Intelligence,Optics and Electronics, "They can only perform tasks according to pre-designed programs.They are just_cold machines.That's not cnough.Visually impaired people face numerous challenges in daily life, including navigation difficulties and possible dangers,but smart guide dogs using the language model can offer them more convenient and safer guidance,effectively improving their life quality.”Sun said. The research team began developing the smart guide dog based on the AI model at the end of last month.Its findings have been published in the Communications of the Chinese Compufer Society."The current results prove the possibility of this approach,but there is still some way to go before it can be put into practical application,"Sun said."We will put more effort into it and make it available for those in need as soon as possible." 28.What assistance can Al-guide dogs provide? A.Provide real-time guidance in daily life. B.Make emotional facial expressions. C.Offer suggestions based on the internet. D.Replace you to make big decisions. 高二英语 第4页共8页 29.What does the phrasecold machines'refer to in the article? y为1相t A.Machines that are not physically warm. B.Machines that are outdated and ineffective. C.Machines that are used in cold environments. D.Machines that lack emotional understanding and interaction. 30.What can we learn from the last paragraph? A.The team has developed Al-guide dogs for a long time. B.AI-guide dogs have not been put into production yet. C.Many scientists doubt the team's research achievements. D.There is a lack of funding for the project's research. 31.What is the main focus of the article? A.The limitations of current navigation aids for the visually impaired. B.The development of AI guide dogs for visually impaired individuals. C.The emotional challenges faced by visually impaired people. D.The advancements in artificial intelligence technology. D New research has found a link between the height of ceilings in exam halls and the performance of students.While the shape of a room can't make you smarter,the environments we're in have an effect on us.The authors of the study suggest that big and open rooms,with high ceilings,make it harder for students to focus on what's in front of them. A previous study from some of the same researchers,making use of brain mapping technology and virtual reality,had found a relationship between cognitive ability and the perceived size of a person's surroundings.Here,the team wanted to do some real-world testing. "We were curious to apply our lab findings to a real-world dataset and see if being in a large space while having to concentrate on an important task would result in a poorer performance,"says Isabella Bower. The study analyzed exam results from 15,400 students over eight years and across three campuses referencing their scores against what was expected based on the coursework they'd previously submitted. In exam rooms with high ceilings,students tended to underperform compared to those taking exams in rooms with a"standard"ceiling height,even after accounting for age,gender, time,subject and prior exam experience-other factors potentially affecting the results. "The key point is that large rooms with high ceilings seem to disadvantage students and we need to understand what brain mechanisms()are at play,and whether this affects all students to the same degree,says Bower. Those are questions that future research can find out.It's clear that environment matters -and that we might not give students the best chance for success by holding exams in rooms that aren't custom-built for the purpose. "Examinations have been a key part of our education system for over 1,300 years,shaping students career paths and lives,"says Jaclyn Broadbent."It's crucial to recognize the potential impact of the physical environment on student performance and make necessary adjustments to ensure all students have an equal opportunity to succeed." 32.Why did the researchers conduct the study? A.To prove that large rooms have no effect on exam performance. B.To apply lab findings to a real-world dataset and see the impact. C.To show that standard ceiling height is the best for exam rooms. D.To demonstrate that the physical environment has no influence on students. 高二英语：第5页共8页 33.What is future research expected to find out? A.Whether exam rooms with high ceilings will disadvantage students. B.Whether other factors could potentially affect the results of the study. C.Whether students are equally affected in exam rooms with high ceilings. D.Whether brain mechanisms affect students in exam rooms with high ceilings 34.What is the author's view on the importance of the physical environment in exams? A.It is crucial and can impact student performance significantly. B.It is important but only affects a few students. C.It is not important as it docs not affect exam performance. D.It is important but only in the context of large,open rooms. 35.Which of the following can be the best title for this passage? A.The Impact of Room Shape on Intelligence B.The Role of Physical Environment in Education C.The Effect of Ceiling Height on Exam Performance D.The Importance of Brain Mechanisms in Exam Rooms 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。选项有项为多余选项。 Making good eye contact is a quite difficult but significant part of good communication skills.If you want to improve your ability to look people in the eye,you can practice making eye contact on your own to give the right impression in conversations.36 Try to relax as much as possible.The more you think about what you're doing,the more awkward you'll feel.Your nervousness can then be misinterpreted as dishonesty.37 If you're going into an important meeting or interview,do some breathing exercises.A few big, full,deep breaths can do a lot to calm you down. 38 It's actually physically somewhat difficult to keep your eyes locked on both of another person's eyes.It's more common to focus on one,or on a spot on the face,rather than trying to look at both eyes at once.If it helps,try moving back and forth between the two eyes. Break your gaze to make other gestures while listening.39 This looks natural as well as providing you with a needed break if necessary. Try to keep your eyes focused while you talk as well as listen.It's one thing to look while you're listening.40Don't be afraid if you have to break your gaze occasionally,but try to keep your face and eyes forward and up as you're talking. A.Focus on one eye. B.Practice other good listening skills. C.But it's more difficult to keep cye contact while you're also trying to say something. D.Try to keep your eyes open as much as possible. E.It's good to break eye contact when you're laughing,or to nod and smile. F.Doing so can make you a better listener and a more effective speaker. G.So staying relaxed is of particular importance. 第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节完形填空（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的 最佳选项。 SPACE,the final frontier,the stuff of dreams.Yet,in reality,a place that is filled with 41 and sometimes tragedy.This time,its legendary tale is42 by British astronaut Tim Peake in his book Space:The human story.

Looking back,I realize what Mom went through sending us kids to school.Every morning she would put a new piece of cardboard in our shoes,because our soles were worn out. Constant moving was typical for my family in these times.Rent was twenty-five dollars a month,but Mom couldn't pay it.These were hard and sad years,but we never complained. Christmas was approaching,and we were entitled to a twenty-five dollar Christmas fund for social assistance.Mom said that instead of buying food,she would use the money to pay back rent.She told us then there would be nothing for Christmas. Unknown to Mom,I had been selling Christmas trees to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots.Boots with no cardboard in the soles.I knew exactly which boots I wanted.They had a price of twenty-three dollars. Well,the big day came on the afternoon of Christmas Eve.I was very excited,as I hurried up the road to catch the bus.It was only half a mile walk,but on the way I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations.It was then that I realized that at our house,we had nothing for Christmas.I knew then that we would have no turkey or ham for Christmas,and I felt sad. Suddenly,I was feeling a strange sense of guilt.Here I was going to buy a new pair of boots while Mom was home in tears.She would be trying to explain to us why there were no presents.I stopped.The bus drove off without me,and I stood alone,but feeling as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.I changed my mind and I realized what I had to do. 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。 Paragraph 1:Across the street was a big grocery store called the Piggly Wiggley.
