Nestled in the heart of the British Museum’s Great Court, this magnificent structure,opened its doors in 1857. It has hosted numerous notable figures, including Karl Marx, SirArthur Conan Doyle, Oscar Wilde, Sylvia Pankhurst, Bram Stoker, Joseph Conrad, Lenin, andGeorge Orwell. (它是一个一个多世纪以来一直吸引着学者和游客的历史和建筑标志。它坐落于大英博物馆大中庭的心脏地带，这座宏伟的建筑于1857年对外开放。这里曾接待过众多知名人士，包括卡尔·马克思、亚瑟·柯南·道尔爵士、奥斯卡·王尔德、西尔维娅·潘克赫斯特、布拉姆·斯托克、约瑟夫·康拉德、列宁和乔治·奥威尔。)”可知，阅览室是一个历史和建筑的标志，一个多世纪以来吸引了学者和游客，包括许多名人。因此，它的特别之处在于一些名人曾经参观过。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据FAQ部分的“Can I take photos inside the Reading Room? Yes, photography is allowed, but please be respectful of other visitors.(我可以在阅览室里拍照吗？是的，允许拍照，但请尊重其他游客。)”可知，参观者被要求拍照时要尊重他人。故选C项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章的内容和结构，特别是“Tickets(票)”；“Visiting Hours(参观时间)”；“FAQ(常见问题)”等部分，以及最后一段“For more updates, follow us on social media and check out related posts on our website.( 更多信息，请在社交媒体上关注我们，并查看我们网站上的相关帖子。)”可知，这篇文章提供了关于大英博物馆阅览室参观的详细信息，包括门票、开放时间、常见问题等，且建议在社交媒体上关注以获取更多更新，因此这篇文章很可能出现在旅游指南网站上。故选D项。 B Not too long ago, I was at the grocery store with my husband, and an elderly man in front of us was using a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) card. The card reader kept rejecting his payment. He had apparently gone over his limit for the month. He was confused and more than a little distressed about the situation. While I was trying to decide if I would offer to step in and pay the difference, the young man checking him out said, “Sir, this happens all the time. It’s not a problem.” The line behind us was growing long, but the young man didn’t show an ounce of impatience or irritation. He confirmed that the man was, indeed, over his limit for the month.Turned out, he wasn’t over by much, so the checker helped the customer determine which two or three items that he could make do without until his account was topped up. “You’ ll definitely want to keep the milk and the butter and the eggs and the bread.” Then the clerk pulled out a jar of salsa, a bottle of juice and some crackers that he and his customer agreed could wait until the beginning of the new month. The young man assured his older customer, once again, that this was a common occurrence and not a problem at all. The man left with his dignity intact (完好无损的) and, no doubt, with a renewed sense of loyalty to that grocery-store chain. When it was my turn, I made note of the name on his nametag, and when I got home, I sent an e-mail to the manager of the store praising the employee for his kindness and customer service. I got a return e-mail that day with thanks from the manager, letting me know that my note would be included in the employee’ s file and noted each time he was up for a raise or promotion. While his act of kindness made a positive impact on the life of someone who was struggling that day, I hope my act of kindness at least had a positive effect on that young man’s career — and possibly his paycheck. 4. What happened when the elderly man was using his SNAP card? A. He forgot his PIN code. B. He was over his monthly budget. C. The card reader was broken. D. He got angry with the store’s service. 5. Which words can best describe the young man? A. Helpful and considerate. B. Clever and loyal. C. Generous and energetic. D. Brave and diligent. 6. What did the author do for the young man?. A. She praised him on the spot. B. She promoted him to be the manager. C. She gave him a pay raise. D. She informed the manager of his deed. 7. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To call on people to help each other. B. To show her gratitude to the young man. C. To share a story about the act of kindness. D. To express her sympathy for the elderly man. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者去商店购物，结账时遇到了一名年轻收银员非常耐心地帮助一位SNAP卡超出当月支付限额的老人。作者写信给商店经理，赞扬了这名收银员，希望能为他的事业带来积极的影响。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The card reader kept rejecting his payment. He had apparently gone over his limit for the month.(读卡器一直拒绝他付款，他显然已经超过了这个月的限额)”可知，在老人使用SNAP卡结账时，读卡器一直拒绝他付款，显然他超出了每月的支付预算。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Turned out, he wasn’t over by much, so the checker helped the customer determine which two or three items that he could make do without until his account was topped up.(结果，他没有超支太多，所以这个收银员帮助这个顾客确定在他的账户充值之前，他可以不需要哪两三样物品)”和第五段“The young man assured his older customer, once again, that this was a common occurrence and not a problem at all. The man left with his dignity intact (完好无损的) and, no doubt, with a renewed sense of loyalty to that grocery-store chain.(年轻人再次向他的老顾客保证，这是经常发生的事，根本不是问题。这个人带着完整的尊严离开了，毫无疑问，他对这家连锁杂货店又有了一种忠诚感)”可知，这个年轻的收银员不仅帮助老人解决了问题，还非常体贴了保护了他的自尊心。由此推知，他既乐于助人，又体贴周到。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“When it was my turn, I made note of the name on his nametag, and when I got home, I sent an e-mail to the manager of the store praising the employee for his kindness and customer service.(轮到我的时候，我记下了他名牌上的名字。回到家后，我给店经理发了一封电子邮件，称赞他的善良和对顾客的服务)”可知，作者将这个收银员的行为告诉了经理。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While his act of kindness made a positive impact on the life of someone who was struggling that day, I hope my act of kindness at least had a positive effect on that young man’s career — and possibly his paycheck.(虽然他的善举对那个正在挣扎的人的生活产生了积极的影响，但我希望我的善举至少对那个年轻人的职业生涯产生了积极的影响——可能还有他的薪水)”和文章内容可推知，本文主要是为了分享一个关于善举的故事。故选C。 C Have you ever joyously stepped out to your backyard garden, freshly brewed coffee in hand, only to find your cared-for plants and herbs wilted (枯萎的) and dying? Was the soil too dry? Did pests find their way in? During times like these, some frustrated gardeners may wish their fickle ficus (榕树) would just tell them what it needs. A new Microsoft-partnered project in the UK is trying to see if that concept can be demonstrated in the real-world. Next year, the Royal Horticultural Society in England will show off an “intelligent garden” that uses an AI model to monitor the garden’s environment and inform gardeners when it needs care. Visitors can ask the AI-powered garden questions. The model could then respond with phrases like “I need a bit more water,” or “I could use a haircut” depending on data captured in the soil. The technical components of the garden are the product of a partnership between AIstart-up Avande and Microsoft. The garden relies on a network of sensors nestled throughout the garden measuring environmental factors like soil moisture, alkalinity (碱度), and nutrient levels as well as wind and projected rainfall. All of that data is then sent to a specially designed AI model at the back of the garden. The model, powered by Microsoft’s Azure Open AI Service, can then analyze those factors and inform gardeners on best feeding, watering, or trimming. In theory, insights provided by models like this one could help gardeners allocate resources efficiently and avoid over-watering plants before rainfall, both of which can aid in sustainability efforts. Those tools could be a welcome convenience for casual growers or businesses looking to reduce costs. It’s unclear, however, whether even the best models can account for something abnormal and individual plant tendencies with the same level of care as experienced gardeners. Several currently available apps also use AI to help gardeners identify unknown plants by comparing a photo of them against a large online database. But as past reporting has shown,simply trusting an AI to tell you whether a plant or fungi of unknown origin is safe to eat isn’t wise, and could have dangerous results. 8. What will AI be used to do in gardening according to the text? A. Look after the plants in place of gardeners. B. Help the gardeners interact with the plants. C. Improve the condition of soil in the garden. D. Design the environmentally-friendly gardens. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. How the intelligent garden works. B. Why the intelligent garden is popular. C. How the intelligent garden was invented. D. What advantages the intelligent garden has. 10. What does the underlined word insights mean in paragraph 4? A. Experience. B. Data. C. Methods. D. Tests. 11. What is the author’s attitude toward AI’s use in gardening? A. Unclear. B. Approving. C. Objective. D. Negative. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述英国皇家园艺学会将展示一个“智能花园”，该花园利用人工智能模型监测环境并在植物需要照顾时通知园丁。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Next year, the Royal Horticultural Society in England will show off an ‘intelligent garden’ that uses an AI model to monitor the garden’s environment and inform gardeners when it needs care. Visitors can ask the AI-powered garden questions. The model could then respond with phrases …(明年，英国皇家园艺学会将展示一个“智能花园”，它使用人工智能模型来监测花园的环境，并在需要护理时通知园丁。游客可以向人工智能花园提问。然后，模型可以用短语进行响应……)”可知，英国皇家园艺学会将展示一个使用人工智能模型监测花园环境并在需要时通知园丁的“智能花园”，游客还可以向这个由人工智能驱动的花园提问。因此，人工智能在园艺中将被用来帮助园丁与植物互动。故选B项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“The garden relies on a network of sensors nestled throughout the garden measuring environmental factors like soil moisture, alkalinity (碱度), and nutrient levels as well as wind and projected rainfall. All of that data is then sent to a specially designed AI model at the back of the garden. (花园依靠遍布花园的传感器网络来测量环境因素，如土壤湿度、碱度、营养水平以及风和预计降雨量。然后，所有这些数据被发送到花园后面一个特别设计的人工智能模型。)”以及“The model, powered by Microsoft’s Azure Open AI Service, can then analyze those factors and inform gardeners on best feeding, watering, or trimming.(该模型由微软的Azure开放人工智能服务提供支持，然后可以分析这些因素，并告知园丁最好的喂养、浇水或修剪。)”可知，本段主要介绍了智能花园的技术依靠遍布花园的传感器网络测量环境因素，并将所有这些数据发送到花园后部的一个专门设计的人工智能模型，该模型由微软的Azure提供支持，然后分析这些因素，并向园丁提供最佳施肥、浇水和修剪的建议。因此，本段主要讲述的是智能花园的工作原理。故选A项。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中“The garden relies on a network of sensors nestled throughout the garden measuring environmental factors like soil moisture, alkalinity (碱度), and nutrient levels as well as wind and projected rainfall. All of that data is then sent to a specially designed AI model at the back of the garden. (花园依靠遍布花园的传感器网络来测量环境因素，如土壤湿度、碱度、营养水平以及风和预计降雨量。然后，所有这些数据被发送到花园后面一个特别设计的人工智能模型。)”以及根据画线词后的内容“…provided by models like this one could help gardeners allocate resources efficiently and avoid over-watering plants before rainfall, both of which can aid in sustainability efforts(像这样的模型提供的……可以帮助园丁有效地分配资源，避免在降雨前过度浇水，这两者都有助于可持续发展)”可知，花园依靠遍布花园的传感器网络来测量环境因素，如土壤湿度、碱度、营养水平以及风和预计降雨量。然后，所有这些数据被发送到花园后面一个特别设计的人工智能模型；园丁高效地分配资源，避免在降雨前过度浇水，实现这两者的条件是该模型所提供的相关信息。由此可知，画线词意思为“信息，数据”与B选项“Data.(数据，信息)”为同义词。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“In theory, insights provided by models like this one could help gardeners allocate resources efficiently and avoid over-watering plants before rainfall, both of which can aid in sustainability efforts. Those tools could be a welcome convenience for casual growers or businesses looking to reduce costs. It’s unclear, however, whether even the best models can account for something abnormal and individual plant tendencies with the same level of care as experienced gardeners(从理论上讲，像这样的模型提供的见解可以帮助园丁有效地分配资源，避免在降雨前过度浇水，这两者都有助于可持续发展。这些工具对于临时种植者或希望降低成本的企业来说可能是一个受欢迎的便利。然而，目前尚不清楚的是，即使是最好的模型，是否也能以与经验丰富的园丁相同的护理水平来解释一些异常和个别植物的趋势)”可知，作者既提到了人工智能在园艺方面的积极作用，如帮助园丁高效地分配资源和避免在降雨前过度浇水，也指出了其局限性，即即使是最好的模型也不一定能像经验丰富的园丁那样照顾到异常情况和个体植物的习性。因此，作者对人工智能在园艺方面的使用持客观态度。故选C项。 D For a long time, psychologists believed in “catharsis theory,” or the idea that it’s better to release negative emotions than hold onto them. It can feel downright delicious to vent (发泄) to your loved ones about life’s annoyances, big and small. You may think it’s healthy to complain about that annoying work assignment or rude comment but research suggests otherwise. Venting “is the worst thing you can do” when you’ re mad, says Brad Bushman, a professor of communication at the Ohio State University who studies the topic. It’s “adding more fuel to the fire.” Bushman demonstrated in his study that when people expressed anger, such as by hitting a punching bag (沙袋), they only get more annoyed and aggressive. That’s not good, because research suggests anger is linked to a variety of mental and maybe even physical health problems. Discussing a frustrating conversation or social slight in details can cause rumination — the psychological term for focusing on negative thoughts and feelings — and blow out of proportion relatively minor annoyances. Neither is healthy. Indeed, venting was linked to poorer mental health, while methods like accepting, joking about, and positively analyzing the situation seemed to boost well-being. “You should generally act how you hope to feel,” Bushman says. For most people, that means trying to move past anger rather than getting stuck in it. When you feel yourself getting stuck in the situation of venting, look for healthier strategies. If yoga and meditation aren’t your thing, try a quick shift in perspective. Bushman recommends the “fly-on-the-wall” technique, which challenges angry people to imagine themselves as a third party observing the situation that made them anger. It’s healthier to look for broader meaning in an annoying situation (Think: “you can’t always get what you want”) than to focus on every last annoying detail. “And finally, don’t underestimate the impact of being hangry — that is, getting angry when you’ re hungry. It’s a real phenomenon. So next time you feel yourself gearing up for a venting session, think of grabbing a snack and taking a few deep breaths instead,” says Bushman. 12. Which of the following belongs to “catharsis theory”? A. Having a good sleep when feeling upset. B. Talking angrily about annoying situations. C. Forgetting about the anger and staying positive. D. Breathing deeply when facing rude behaviours. 13. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. Releasing anger is harmful to our health. B. Hitting a punching bag can lessen anger. C. Accepting isn’t a good way to avoid anger. D. Complaining can remove minor annoyances. 14. What is Bushman’s suggestion? A. See things differently. B. Be forgiving and tolerant. C. Keep in the state of hunger. D. Seek for professional advice. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. How Can We Deal with Life’s Annoyances? B. Why Not Run When Facing Annoying Situations? C. Is Venting Healthy, or Does It Make Things Worse? D. Which One Is Better, Being Active or Being Peaceful? 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究发现，长久以来心理学家所认为的 “宣泄理论” 存在误区，即发泄负面情绪并非有益健康，而是可能带来更糟的结果，文章还介绍了一些处理愤怒情绪的健康策略。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“For a long time, psychologists believed in “catharsis theory,” or the idea that it’s better to release negative emotions than hold onto them. It can feel downright delicious to vent ( 发泄 ) to your loved ones about life’s annoyances, big and small. You may think it’s healthy to complain about that annoying work assignment or rude comment but research suggests otherwise.(很长一段时间以来，心理学家都相信‘宣泄理论’，即释放负面情绪比压抑它们更好。向你爱的人发泄生活中的烦恼，无论大小，都是一种非常美味的感觉。你可能认为抱怨烦人的工作任务或粗鲁的评论是健康的，但研究表明并非如此。)”可知，“catharsis theory”（宣泄理论）指的是释放负面情绪比压抑它们更好的观点，这种宣泄负面情绪的方式包括向你爱的人发泄生活中的烦恼、抱怨烦人的工作任务、粗鲁的评论等。由此可知，选项B“愤怒地谈论恼人的情况”符合宣泄理论。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段 “Bushman demonstrated in his study that when people expressed anger, such as by hitting a punching bag (沙袋), they only get more annoyed and aggressive. That’s not good, because research suggests anger is linked to a variety of mental and maybe even physical health problems.(布什曼在他的研究中表明，当人们表达愤怒时，比如通过击打沙袋，他们只会变得更恼怒和更具攻击性。这是不好的，因为研究表明愤怒与多种心理甚至可能是身体健康问题有关)”可知，释放愤怒会让人更恼怒和有攻击性，且愤怒与多种心理甚至可能是身体健康问题相关，所以释放愤怒对我们的健康有害。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。倒数第二段“Bushman recommends the “fly-on-the-wall” technique, which challenges angry people to imagine themselves as a third party observing the situation that made them anger. It’s healthier to look for broader meaning in an annoying situation (Think: “you can’t always get what you want”) than to focus on every last annoying detail.(布什曼推荐 ‘置身事外的观察者’技巧，该技巧要求愤怒的人想象自己是第三方，在一旁观察令他们生气的情形。在令人烦恼的情形中寻找更广泛的意义，这样做更有益于健康。)”说明，Bushman推荐“置身事外的观察者”技巧，让愤怒的人从第三方视角看问题，在恼人情境中寻找更广泛意义，也就是从不同角度看事情。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意指出题。文章开篇提出长久以来心理学家都相信“catharsis theory”可能存在误区，研究这一课题的传播学教授Brad Bushman生气时发泄“是你能做的最糟糕的事情”，是“火上浇油”。接着第二段指出Bushman的研究表明宣泄愤怒（venting）可能会让情况更糟，不是健康的方式，最后两段介绍了一些比宣泄愤怒更健康的应对方式，所以 “Is Venting Healthy, or Does It Make Things Worse?(宣泄是健康的，还是会让事情变得更糟？)”能很好地概括文章主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选C项。 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Eating while doing something else can lead to unhealthy habits.

They woke up early that day, put on their favorite clothes, and headed straight for the car. The anticipation was killing them! As they drove into town, they could see flags waving in the air and hear music coming from every direction. “We’ re here!” Max shouted as they pulled into a parking spot. Mia’s eyes widened with amazement as she took in all of the sights around her. There were food stalls selling all kinds of yummy treats like cotton candy, popcorn, and ice cream.She couldn’t wait to try everything! Meanwhile, Max was already eyeing his first game booth (岗亭) where he could win a giant stuffed animal if he scored enough points throwing balls through hoops. They spent hours exploring different parts of the festival together: trying out games at carnival booths or enjoying exotic (异国风味的) dishes from food stands while hearing different types of music ranging from jazz bands to folk singers. But then something scary happened. Max turned around to ask his mom a question when he noticed that-she was no longer there. He looked around but couldn’t see her or his dad anywhere. Mia started to cry because she didn’t know what was going on. “Where did they go?” Max asked himself as he nervously scanned the crowd for any sign of his parents. Mia clung (紧抓) to Max’s hand tightly as they walked through the busy street filled with people. “We need to find them,” Max said calmly but firmly. “Let’s try calling out for them.” They shouted at the top of their lungs, hoping that somehow their voices would reach their parents over all of the noise at the festival. But still, no answer came back from anywhere in sight! As minutes stretched into what felt like hours, Max started getting really scared too — how could they ever find each other in such a huge sea of people? 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。 Just then, a kind lady approached them with a warm smile. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Turning around, they saw their parents rushing towards them. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Just then, a kind lady approached them with a warm smile. The kind lady, introducing herself as Ms. Johnson, gently asked if everything was alright. Feeling relieved that someone noticed them, Max nodded his head eagerly while Mia clung tightly to his hand. Ms. Johnson offered to help them find their parents. “Let’s go to the information booth, where we can make an announcement and your parents can find you more easily.” Ms. Johnson suggested. Max and Mia, still holding hands, followed her through the crowd. Along the way, Ms. Johnson constantly comforted them and assured that they would find their parents. As they were nearing the information booth, suddenly they heard familiar voices calling their names. Turning around, they saw their parents rushing towards them. “Max! Mia!” their mom exclaimed, pulling them into a tight hug. Their dad, equally relieved, knelt down to their level. “You two did the right thing by staying together and going to the information booth,” he said, his voice choked with emotion. Max told their parents how Ms. Johnson helped them. Their parents turned to her, and thanked her for helping keep an eye on their kids. Although it was scary to get separated from their parents in a crowded place like that, Max and Mia felt the warmth from the stranger and also learned a valuable lesson about staying safe when out in public places like city festivals. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Max和Mia兄妹二人随同父母一起去参加期盼已久的城市节日庆祝活动，到达目的地后，他们都兴奋地只顾看自己喜欢的摊位，却不幸与父母走失。最终一位善良的女士带他们去问询处，得以和父母团聚。他们一家人感受到了陌生人所给予的温暖，安全意识也有所提高。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在这时，一位和蔼的女士带着温暖的微笑向他们走来。”可知，第一段可描写这位女士带他们去问询处，帮助他们寻找父母。 ②由第二段首句内容“转过身来，他们看到父母向他们冲了过来。”可知，第二段可描写找到父母后的表现和感激之情，总结教训，点明主题。 2. 续写线索：女士出现——自我介绍、询问——提出帮助、去问询处——每个人的表现——听到父母声音——与父母相见——行为表现——感激——总结教训、点明主题 3. 词汇激活： 行为类： ①紧紧抓住：cling to/hold on to ②帮助某人干某事：help sb. do/aid sb. to do ③确保：assure/make sure ④呼喊、喊叫：exclaim/shout ⑤密切关注、照看：keep an eye on/watch over 情绪类： ①渴望地、急切地：eagerly/longingly ②恐怖的、吓人的：scary/frightening 【点睛】【高分句型1】Let’s go to the information booth, where we can make an announcement and your parents can find you more easily.（运用了以关系副词where引导的非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】Although it was scary to get separated from their parents in a crowded place like that, Max and Mia felt the warmth from the stranger and also learned a valuable lesson about staying safe when out in public places like city festivals.（运用了以连词although引导的让步状语从句和连词when引导的状语从句的省略句） 1 ~ 5 BCAAC 6 ~10 ACBCA 11~15 BCBAA 16~20 BCACB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 益阳市 2024年下学期普通高中期末质量检测 高 三 英 语 (试题卷) 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名，准考证号填写在本试卷相应的位置。 2.全部答案在答题卡上完成，答在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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?

B Not too long ago, I was at the grocery store with my husband, and an elderly man in front of us was using a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) card. The card reader kept rejecting his payment. He had apparently gone over his limit for the month. He was confused and more than a little distressed about the situation. While I was trying to decide if I would offer to step in and pay the difference, the young man checking him out said, “Sir, this happens all the time. It’s not a problem.” The line behind us was growing long, but the young man didn’t show an ounce of impatience or irritation. He confirmed that the man was, indeed, over his limit for the month.Turned out, he wasn’t over by much, so the checker helped the customer determine which two or three items that he could make do without until his account was topped up. “You’ ll definitely want to keep the milk and the butter and the eggs and the bread.” Then the clerk pulled out a jar of salsa, a bottle of juice and some crackers that he and his customer agreed could wait until the beginning of the new month. The young man assured his older customer, once again, that this was a common occurrence and not a problem at all. The man left with his dignity intact (完好无损的) and, no doubt, with a renewed sense of loyalty to that grocery-store chain. When it was my turn, I made note of the name on his nametag, and when I got home, I sent an e-mail to the manager of the store praising the employee for his kindness and customer service. I got a return e-mail that day with thanks from the manager, letting me know that my note would be included in the employee’ s file and noted each time he was up for a raise or promotion. While his act of kindness made a positive impact on the life of someone who was struggling that day, I hope my act of kindness at least had a positive effect on that young man’s career — and possibly his paycheck. 4.

C Have you ever joyously stepped out to your backyard garden, freshly brewed coffee in hand, only to find your cared-for plants and herbs wilted (枯萎的) and dying? Was the soil too dry? Did pests find their way in? During times like these, some frustrated gardeners may wish their fickle ficus (榕树) would just tell them what it needs. A new Microsoft-partnered project in the UK is trying to see if that concept can be demonstrated in the real-world. Next year, the Royal Horticultural Society in England will show off an “intelligent garden” that uses an AI model to monitor the garden’s environment and inform gardeners when it needs care. Visitors can ask the AI-powered garden questions. The model could then respond with phrases like “I need a bit more water,” or “I could use a haircut” depending on data captured in the soil. The technical components of the garden are the product of a partnership between AIstart-up Avande and Microsoft. The garden relies on a network of sensors nestled throughout the garden measuring environmental factors like soil moisture, alkalinity (碱度), and nutrient levels as well as wind and projected rainfall. All of that data is then sent to a specially designed AI model at the back of the garden. The model, powered by Microsoft’s Azure Open AI Service, can then analyze those factors and inform gardeners on best feeding, watering, or trimming. In theory, insights provided by models like this one could help gardeners allocate resources efficiently and avoid over-watering plants before rainfall, both of which can aid in sustainability efforts. Those tools could be a welcome convenience for casual growers or businesses looking to reduce costs. It’s unclear, however, whether even the best models can account for something abnormal and individual plant tendencies with the same level of care as experienced gardeners. Several currently available apps also use AI to help gardeners identify unknown plants by comparing a photo of them against a large online database. But as past reporting has shownsimply trusting an AI to tell you whether a plant or fungi of unknown origin is safe to eat isn’t wise, and could have dangerous results. 8. What will AI be used to do in gardening according to the text? A. Look after the plants in place of gardeners. B. Help the gardeners interact with the plants. C. Improve the condition of soil in the garden. D. Design the environmentally-friendly gardens. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. How the intelligent garden works. B. Why the intelligent garden is popular. C. How the intelligent garden was invented. D. What advantages the intelligent garden has. 10. What does the underlined word insights mean in paragraph 4? A. Experience. B. Data. C. Methods. D. Tests. 11. What is the author’s attitude toward AI’s use in gardening? A. Unclear. B. Approving. C. Objective. D. Negative. D For a long time, psychologists believed in “catharsis theory,” or the idea that it’s better to release negative emotions than hold onto them. It can feel downright delicious to vent (发泄) to your loved ones about life’s annoyances, big and small. You may think it’s healthy to complain about that annoying work assignment or rude comment but research suggests otherwise. Venting “is the worst thing you can do” when you’ re mad, says Brad Bushman, a professor of communication at the Ohio State University who studies the topic. It’s “adding more fuel to the fire.” Bushman demonstrated in his study that when people expressed anger, such as by hitting a punching bag (沙袋), they only get more annoyed and aggressive. That’s not good, because research suggests anger is linked to a variety of mental and maybe even physical health problems. Discussing a frustrating conversation or social slight in details can cause rumination — the psychological term for focusing on negative thoughts and feelings — and blow out of proportion relatively minor annoyances. Neither is healthy. Indeed, venting was linked to poorer mental health, while methods like accepting, joking about, and positively analyzing the situation seemed to boost well-being. “You should generally act how you hope to feel,” Bushman says. For most people, that means trying to move past anger rather than getting stuck in it. When you feel yourself getting stuck in the situation of venting, look for healthier strategies. If yoga and meditation aren’t your thing, try a quick shift in perspective. Bushman recommends the “fly-on-the-wall” technique, which challenges angry people to imagine themselves as a third party observing the situation that made them anger. It’s healthier to look for broader meaning in an annoying situation (Think: “you can’t always get what you want”) than to focus on every last annoying detail. “And finally, don’t underestimate the impact of being hangry — that is, getting angry when you’ re hungry. It’s a real phenomenon. So next time you feel yourself gearing up for a venting session, think of grabbing a snack and taking a few deep breaths instead,” says Bushman. 12. Which of the following belongs to “catharsis theory”? A. Having a good sleep when feeling upset. B. Talking angrily about annoying situations. C. Forgetting about the anger and staying positive. D. Breathing deeply when facing rude behaviours. 13. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. Releasing anger is harmful to our health. B. Hitting a punching bag can lessen anger. C. Accepting isn’t a good way to avoid anger. D. Complaining can remove minor annoyances. 14. What is Bushman’s suggestion? A. See things differently. B. Be forgiving and tolerant. C. Keep in the state of hunger. D. Seek for professional advice. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. How Can We Deal with Life’s Annoyances? B. Why Not Run When Facing Annoying Situations? C. Is Venting Healthy, or Does It Make Things Worse? D. Which One Is Better, Being Active or Being Peaceful? 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Eating while doing something else can lead to unhealthy habits.

They woke up early that day, put on their favorite clothes, and headed straight for the car. The anticipation was killing them! As they drove into town, they could see flags waving in the air and hear music coming from every direction. “We’ re here!” Max shouted as they pulled into a parking spot. Mia’s eyes widened with amazement as she took in all of the sights around her. There were food stalls selling all kinds of yummy treats like cotton candy, popcorn, and ice cream.She couldn’t wait to try everything! Meanwhile, Max was already eyeing his first game booth (岗亭) where he could win a giant stuffed animal if he scored enough points throwing balls through hoops. They spent hours exploring different parts of the festival together: trying out games at carnival booths or enjoying exotic (异国风味的) dishes from food stands while hearing different types of music ranging from jazz bands to folk singers. But then something scary happened. Max turned around to ask his mom a question when he noticed that-she was no longer there. He looked around but couldn’t see her or his dad anywhere. Mia started to cry because she didn’t know what was going on. “Where did they go?” Max asked himself as he nervously scanned the crowd for any sign of his parents. Mia clung (紧抓) to Max’s hand tightly as they walked through the busy street filled with people. “We need to find them,” Max said calmly but firmly. “Let’s try calling out for them.” They shouted at the top of their lungs, hoping that somehow their voices would reach their parents over all of the noise at the festival. But still, no answer came back from anywhere in sight! As minutes stretched into what felt like hours, Max started getting really scared too — how could they ever find each other in such a huge sea of people? 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。 Just then, a kind lady approached them with a warm smile. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Turning around, they saw their parents rushing towards them. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 ~ 5 BCAAC 6 ~10 ACBCA 11~15 BCBAA 16~20 BCACB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
