B Duncan Jurman became interested in butterflies when he was around 5 years old.He noticed a couple of caterpillars()in his backyard and was attracted by the different ways that caterpillars can disguise( themselves to stay safe in potentially dangerous surroundings.From there,he started to learn more about caterpillars and butterflies. Jurman believes that butterflies play a vital role in our ecosystems.They're very low on the food web,so 高二年级上学期期末测试·英语第3页（共8页）省十联考 CS扫描全能王 3亿人套直用的归指Ap明 they support a lot of different species that rely on them.They're an indicator species for the health of the environment.Once they disappear,everything else is soon to follow. Jurman's goal is to transform the landscape of Florida's Broward County by turning a weedy suburb into a lively butterfly reserve at a time when insect populations are decreasing quickly worldwide.Jurman believes that every flower planted is a potential home and source of food for caterpillars and butterfies.He eventually developed a butterfy-friendly garden in his backyard by researching the different plants that butterflies prefer. He's already raised and released more than 5,000 butterflies from his garden. Jurman also launched the Bring Butterflies Back campaign to educate people about butterflies and invite them to join his cause of protecting butterflies.He said that a lot of people are surprised to leamn that insects are declining at such an alarming rate,largely because the decline has been so gradual.This phenomenon,known as the shifting baselines theory,helps to explain why people are unwilling to take meaningful action to save the environment. In 2018,Jurman helped to build a butterfly garden at his high school.The garden has had a regenerative effect on the surrounding environment-birds,native lizards,and other insects have returned in great numbers. Other schools have been inspired to start gardens."I don't know if we can ever reach the point that we were once at with butterflies,but I think that if everyone gets involved and starts their own garden,they can make their own impact,"Jurman said. 24.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A.The significance of butterflies in nature. B.The potential danger to butterflies. C.The competition between species. D.The food web of insects. 25.Why did Jurman develop a butterfly-friendly garden? A.To research butterflies'favorite plants. B.To boost the quantity of butterflies. C.To spread the knowledge about butterflies. D.To enhance the beauty of his backyard. 26. Which of the following illustrates the shifting baselines theory? A.The rapid decline of butterfly populations worldwide. B.People's unawareness of gradual change in environment. C.The process of transforming natural landscapes into reserves. D.The impact of human activities on insect habitats. 27.What can be inferred from Jurman's statement in the last paragraph? A.He is enthusiastic about gardening. B.He feels satisfied with his garden-building efforts. C.He will carry on despite an uncertain future. D.He holds a pessimistic attitude to the future of butterflies. C It is a common view that"Necessity is the mother of invention."That is,inventions supposedly arise when a society has an unfulfilled need.Quite a few inventions do fit in this category.For example,in 1794 Eli Whitney invented cotton gins (to replace laborious hand cleaning of cotton grown in the U.S.South. Such familiar examples fool us into assuming that other major inventions were also responses to perceived needs.In fact,most inventions were developed by people driven by curiosity or by a love of tinkering () Once a device had been invented,the inventor then had to find an application for it.Only after it had been in use for a considerable time did consumers come to feel that they"needed"it.Thus,invention is often the mother of necessity,rather than vice versa. A good example is the history of the motor vehicle which was not invented in response to any demand. When Nikolaus Otto built his first gas engine in 1866,it was weak,heavy,and seven feet tall.Thirty years later, he built the first truck.But it was a time when horse wagons and steam-powered railroads dominated transportation.Public contentment with these two means remained high until World War I when the armies concluded that they really did need trucks,which eventually made those vehicles a substitute for horse-drawn wagons in industrialized countries. 高二年级上学期期末测试·英语第4页（共8页）省十联考 C③扫描全能王 3亿人套直用的日指Ap印 Inventors often have to insist on their tinkering for a long time in the absence of public demand,because early models perform too poorly to be useful.For instance,the first cameras,typewriters,and television sets were as awful as Otto's seven-foot-tall gas engine.That makes it difficult for an inventor to foresee whether his or her awful prototype might eventually find a use and thus invest more time and expense to develop it.Even inventions that meet the need for which they were initially designed may later prove more valuable at meeting unforeseen needs.While James Watt designed his steam engine to pump water from mines,it soon was supplying power to cotton mills,then(with much greater profit)driving trains and boats. 28.Why is Eli Whitney mentioned by the writer in the first paragraph? A.To introduce the topic. B.To deny a statement. C.To clarify a doubt. D.To illustrate a view. 29.What led to the wide use of motor vehicles according to the text? A.The improvement of engine performance. B.The end of World War I. C.The need of the military during war time. D.The decline of horse-drawn wagons. 30.What does the underlined word"That"refer to in the last paragraph? A.Absence of public demand. B.Bad performance of early models. C.A lack of time and expense. D.Awful looks of previous inventions. 31.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.Social Need:the Inner Drive for Invention B.Great Invention:the Force of Society's Progress C.Beyond Necessity:the Curious Pursuit of Invention D.General Application:the Final Purpose of Invention D The robots are coming!In science fiction that is usually a terrible warning.Even if we know robots are not literally the murderous machines of films in which the inventor loses control of his creation,they can inspire fear.In the real world,they are able to kill off well-paid jobs in factories and warehouses.Nevertheless,the latest advances in robotics will bring real and fundamental benefits. New "multimodal"AI models combine understanding of language and vision with data.This makes it possible to deal with robots using ordinary words.You can ask a robot what it is able to see or tell it to "pick up the yellow fruit".Such models in effect allow robots a degree of common sense-in this case,knowing that a nearby banana is a kind of yellow fruit.You can tell a robot to adjust its behaviour simply by changing an instruction,something that would previously have required complicated reprogramming. The new models enable robots to explain the reasoning behind their actions.That is useful when they behave in unexpected or unwelcome ways.So long as robots'brains are not confusing black boxes, programming and debugging()them is fairly straightforward.The new models are also less likely to make things up,as the way they perceive things is rooted in observations of the world,and they aim to ensure that cognitive and physical reality match. Labour markets across the rich world are tight-and getting tighter as societies age.Advanced economies will need more automation if they are to maintain their standards of living as they are aging rapidly.Without robots to help out,more people may have to work longer and retire later.In the coming years,attitudes could well change from fearing the arrival of robots to wishing that they would get here sooner. 32.Why are people concerned about robots? A.They can raise unemployment rates. B.They are replacing low-paid labor. C.They might become killers. D.They are hard to control. 33.What is the strength of new"multimodal"AI models? A.Interacting with other robots. B.Replacing human workers completely. C.Being free from reprogramming. D.Comprehending spoken commands. 34.What causes the new models to be more reliable? A.Their logic reasoning. B.Their debugging ability. C.Their reality-based perception. D.Their detailed observation. 高二年级上学期期末测试·英语第5页（共8页）省十联考 CS扫描全能王 3亿人套直用的归指AP的 35.What does the author think of robots in an aging society? A.They benefit the elderly most. B.They contribute to social harmony. C.They speed technological innovation. D.They sustain labor productivity. 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。 Are you having a hard time sticking to your daily schedule?That's a problem many people have.Here are some tips that might help you. Start with anchor habits.An anchor habit is something you do at a particular time of day that you're not at risk of skipping.It will help shape and structure your day.It doesn't matter what the habit is,but it should be easy for you to do.36Don't choose something you struggle to get done as an anchor habit. Be very consistent for about three months.A daily schedule is a series of behaviors.Behaviors only become automatic if you keep how,when,and where you do them consistently for about three months.37 Plan your rewards.Plan rewards and link them to the schedule you're trying to keep up with in natural ways.Structure rewards around daily tasks,such as watching a video after a period of study and scheduling walks as enjoyable motivations.38 What do you want to do as a reward either during or after the daily behavior you're trying to maintain? 39 Equipment can help you maintain a schedule.Kitchen equipment might help support a cooking schedule.Hiking equipment might help support an outdoor activity schedule.However,keep in mind that these tools don't magically do the work for you. Find and join a community.40Therefore,find a community where the schedule or behaviors you're trying to maintain are normal and join it. A.Use tools to support you. B.Get to know yourself and what works for you. C.You can invite the people around you together. D.For example,reading a few pages of a book every night before bed. E.Once they become more automatic,they will take less effort to keep. F.It's normal that you have no motivation to maintain a daily schedule. G.It's much harder to maintain any behavior if it isn't common for the people around you. 第三部分语言运用（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。 Not long after I started my journalism career,I realized I was desiring some slow,little adventure-the kind that required minimal planning,no stress,and plenty of 41 time.It was the kind of time I rarely found in a 42 That's when I 43 a secret:Washington,D.C.,the city where I live,is full of hidden fossils ) In my busy,overstimulated life,I began to 44 fossils.Many of these sites lie within 80 miles south of the capital along the Potomac River,so fossil hunting 45 takes me away from the city.It's a pursuit that requires 46 and focus.Finding different shapes in the earth feels like piecing together a broken 47 in the sediment )Is it a tooth,a bone,or a shell?I'm looking for the 48 end pieces.

As I stared aimlessly,a wrinkled old man walked past me,pushing an overloaded cart of junk.He paused a few feet away,scanning the area,before sitting down cross-legged on the floor near me.His clothes were muddy,and his hands looked roughened by years of hard work.I watched as he reached into his cart and pulled out a harmonica(),pressing it to his lips.The first note was shaky,but soon a simple,beautiful melody )filled the air.Strangely,the chaotic station grew quieter,as though his music had worked magic. At first,I felt confused-why here,and why now?But as I watched him play,I noticed something remarkable.His face lit up,not with joy exactly,but with a deep contentment that seemed out of place in his circumstances.People started slowing down to listen.A young girl tugged at her mother's coat,wanting to stay. A businessman,hurriedly checking his phone,paused to drop a coin in the old man's hat.It struck me how a man with so little could share so much. 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。 With a hesitant step,I approached the old man,wanting to understand the source of his contentment.
