B In the port of Le Havre, the dawn light embraces the water; small boats move through the mist; tall factory chimneys (烟囱) mix their smoke with the fog — an image of beauty and harmony painted by Claude Monet in Impression, Sunrise, inviting you to step into the world of Impressionism. Painted at dawn on November 13, 1872, this oil painting pictures a harbor scene enveloped in morning mist, and reveals the beautiful view of daybreak through the interplay of light and motion. In this painting, Monet abandoned the mainstream academic art style of his time — distinct boundaries and colors. Instead, he focused on color relationships and the effects of outdoor light, capturing the delicate changes of colors through reflections on the water surface, breaking through the limits of the art world at the time. This artistic treasure not only showcases Monet’s unique insight into the interplay of light and color in nature but also mirrors his pioneering approach to artistic creation. Meanwhile, it describes a warm and peaceful life, representing people’s expectations for economic recovery and social stability. The industrial elements in the painting, such as the smoking chimneys, imply the development of society and economic boom at the time, suggesting the social changes and the mentality of people in late 19th century Europe. For a thorough appreciation of this artwork and its significance in art history, one should examine the primary colors featured in the painting, such as light purple, soft red, blue-gray, and orange-yellow, and figure out how they interact to bring up the atmosphere of a sunrise. It’s also important to figure out how Monet skillfully seized the instant through the contrast of light and shadow, along with his deliberate arrangement of the sun, boats, and chimneys. More importantly, the symbolic significance of the sunrise, or what it mint symbolize in terms of hope, rebirth, or societal transformation, is a theme that viewers should consider repeatedly. 4. What is the author’s purpose by describing the port at the beginning? A. To convey emotion. B. To invite people to visit. C. To arouse readers’ interest. D. To showcase literary talent. 5. Which were best defines Claude Monet according to the passage? A. Conservative. B. Innovative. C. Passive. D. Traditional. 6. Which of the following aspects is NOT analyzed in the text? A. The use of primary colors in the painting. B. The impact of industrial development on society. C. The influence of Monet’s painting on future generations. D Monet’s technique in capturing the interplay of light and color. 7. What can be the most appropriate title for the text? A. Monet: The Greatest Master of Art B. Monet: The Pioneer of Impressionism C. Impression, Sunrise Is an Artistic Revolution D. Impression, Sunrise Is a Mirror for the 19th Century Europe C Scientists at the Max Planck Institute in Germany have developed a four-legged robot named Morti that can autonomously learn to walk without struggling. Standing at half a meter tall, Morti can learn to walk within one hour, in roughly the same amount of time as a newborn horse, which is a remarkable achievement in the field of robotics. Designed by Felix Ruppert, Morti operates on an AI algorithm (算法) that copies the neural (神经系统的) networks found in the spinal cords (脊髓) of animals, which are responsible for controlling the rhythmic conduction of muscles during walking. Morti can follow the way a baby animal learns to move, as it also finds the most efficient way to use their muscles by trying and initially tripping. “Just by learning to use-legs properly, you basically get energy efficiency for free,” says Ruppert. This is a big step forward in the world of robotics, where energy efficiency is a key factor in the practical application of such technology. A common challenge for AI systems is their ability to adapt when the environment changes. Morti’s design, which relies on the continuous adjustment of its movements, could offer a solution to this challenge, potentially making it perform better in dynamic and changing environments. Hillel Chiel at Case Western Reserve University in Ohio says, “The brains of animals contain structures and knowledge that aid their learning. Some AIs can imitate animal-like learning, but their artificial nervous systems are generally not yet as complex”. Morti’s energy-efficient learning process and its capacity to adjust to its environment are indicative of the future possibilities in AI and robotics. This technology could pave the way for the development of more advanced and adaptable machines, revolutionizing the way we think about and interact with robotics. Morti is not just a robot, but a glance into a future where machines can learn and adapt with a level of efficiency and responsiveness that was once thought to be just for living things. 8 Why does the author mention “a newborn horse” in Paragraph 1? A. To show the speed at which Morti learns to walk. B. To illustrate the complexity of Morti’s AI algorithm. C. To compare the size of Morti to that of a newborn horse. D. To highlight the less efficiency of Morti’s learning process. 9. What can we learn about Morti’s AI algorithm from Paragraph 2? A. It integrates multiple AI techniques. B. It imitates the neural pathways in animal brains. C. It echoes the learning strategies of young animals. D. It clones the neural networks in the spinal cords of animals. 10. How does Monti cope with the challenge of environmental changes? A. By learning to use its legs. B. By adjusting its movements. C. By copying human’s behavior. D. By predicting environmental changes. 11. What is the text mainly about? A The challenges AI faces. B. The development of a new algorithm. C. The similarities between Morti and living things. D. The creation and learning process of the robot Morti. D With hunters wiping out most fruit-eating birds in the forest of Lambir Hills National Park on western Borne o by the 1990s, the sky grew duller, and in a few years, so did the forest. Without birds to spread their seeds, the diversity of fruit-producing plants declined, highlighting the critical importance of seed dispersal for ecosystem health. Just as Jordi Bascompte, an ecologist at the University of Zurich, calls it “the glue that keeps ecological communities together”. Recently, a study in Science reveals that at least one-third of European plant species are endangered. This includes not just birds but also mammals, reptiles, and ants. Pedro Jordano, another ecologist, illustrated the study “brilliant and captivating” but also “alarming”, warning that the loss of seed dispersers could prevent plants expanding their ranges to adapt to climate change or recover from wildfires, especially in Europe’s highly disjointed landscape. Ruben Heleno, a community ecologist, said, “We should not be afraid of using the word crisis,” given the situation that plant species are facing. Sara Mendes, a Ph. D. student at the University of Coimbra, searched through thousands of studies in 26 languages, focusing on terms like seed dispersal and the more than 900 European animals likely to consume seeds. “The project requires a certain amount of craziness to be accomplished,” she said, adding that in all major biogeographical areas in Europe, more than one-third of seed-dispersing animal species are either threatened or decreasing. Furthermore, the study discloses that over 60% of plants have five or fewer seed dispersers, making them particularly susceptible to the decline or disappearance of any of these critical species. Nearly 80 “very high concern” interactions where both the plant and its disperser are threatened or declining, such as the European fan palm relying on the endangered rabbit, have been identified. Despite the extensive data, significant gaps remain. International Union for Conservation of Nature assessments are incomplete for 67% of the plant species, and the roles of various dispersers, especially for rare plants, are still unclear. Ecologists warn that similar crises may be unfolding on other continents, continents,including North America. 12. What’s the primary cause of the decline in fruit-producing plant diversity in Lambir Hills National Park? A. The disjointedness of the European landscape. B. The absence of birds to spread plant seeds. C. The impact of climate change on plant species. D. The removal of fruit-eating animals by hunters. 13. What is Ruben Heleno’s attitude towards the situation described in the passage? A. Concerned. B. Optimistic. C. Neutral. D. Indifferent. 14. What does the underlined word “susceptible” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Stable. B. Sensitive. C. Adaptable. D. Resistant. 15. How is the information organized in the article? A. Time order. B. Problem-solution format. C. Cause and effect structure. D. Comparison among different species. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Things to Remember When Booking a Group Tour When it comes to travelling abroad, many people opt to take part in a group tour to get the most out of their holiday.

The only idea I could come up with was to offer our services as gardeners, going door to door to propose weeding neighbors’ gardens for 2 dollars each. Our proposal was fair, yet unexpectedly, only Mrs. White, living three blocks from our house, accepted the offer. Maybe that was because no one would take children’s words seriously. We agreed on the weeding at 8:00 the next morning. Having the first client, Lucy and I couldn’t contain ourselves and felt as if we had achieved a monumental task, hearts swelling with pride. We were going to be gardeners! But the excitement of the moment was fleeting, and the next day, the attraction of play and the forgetfulness of childhood overtook us. We forgot about our commitment. Concerned about our absence, Mrs. White contacted our mother. As we walked into the kitchen through the back door at 11:00 a. m. , Mom had just hung up the phone. She asked about our little gardening business. Surprisingly, she wasn’t angry, instead, she found our initiative amusing. She explained that Mrs. White had called her, expressing disappointment over our broken promise. Faced with the mistake, we admitted our oversight and promised to make a sincere apology sometime. Instead of criticizing us, Mom busied herself with lunch preparations as if nothing had happened. We did feel a touch of guilt, but it was quickly overshadowed by what Mom said next. As we mouthed on sandwiches, Mom casually asked, “Would you was like to go to Disneyland this afternoon?” We sprang into action, bathing and dressing, which was like getting ready for a birthday party. We rushed outside, not wanting to miss the bus that would take us downtown. The sun was high in the sky as we stood outside, our bags packed and hearts full of anticipation. 注意： 1. 续写的词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 On the landing, Mom said, “Girls, we are not going to Disneyland today.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We knocked gently on Mrs. White’s door, heads down and hearts heavy. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1~5 ACBCB 6~10 ABABA 11~15 CACAB 16~20 CBBCC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 保山市2024～2025学年普通高中上学期期末质量监测 高三英语 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必用黑色碳素笔将自己的学校、班级、姓名、考场号、座位号、准考证号在答题卡上填写清楚。 2.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。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。在试题卷上作答无效。 3.考试结束后，请将答题卡交回。满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 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。 1.

Painted at dawn on November 13, 1872, this oil painting pictures a harbor scene enveloped in morning mist, and reveals the beautiful view of daybreak through the interplay of light and motion. In this painting, Monet abandoned the mainstream academic art style of his time — distinct boundaries and colors. Instead, he focused on color relationships and the effects of outdoor light, capturing the delicate changes of colors through reflections on the water surface, breaking through the limits of the art world at the time. This artistic treasure not only showcases Monet’s unique insight into the interplay of light and color in nature but also mirrors his pioneering approach to artistic creation. Meanwhile, it describes a warm and peaceful life, representing people’s expectations for economic recovery and social stability. The industrial elements in the painting, such as the smoking chimneys, imply the development of society and economic boom at the time, suggesting the social changes and the mentality of people in late 19th century Europe. For a thorough appreciation of this artwork and its significance in art history, one should examine the primary colors featured in the painting, such as light purple, soft red, blue-gray, and orange-yellow, and figure out how they interact to bring up the atmosphere of a sunrise. It’s also important to figure out how Monet skillfully seized the instant through the contrast of light and shadow, along with his deliberate arrangement of the sun, boats, and chimneys. More importantly, the symbolic significance of the sunrise, or what it mint symbolize in terms of hope, rebirth, or societal transformation, is a theme that viewers should consider repeatedly. 4. What is the author’s purpose by describing the port at the beginning? A. To convey emotion. B. To invite people to visit. C. To arouse readers’ interest. D. To showcase literary talent. 5. Which were best defines Claude Monet according to the passage? A. Conservative. B. Innovative. C. Passive. D. Traditional. 6. Which of the following aspects is NOT analyzed in the text? A. The use of primary colors in the painting. B. The impact of industrial development on society. C. The influence of Monet’s painting on future generations. D. Monet’s technique in capturing the interplay of light and color. 7. What can be the most appropriate title for the text? A. Monet: The Greatest Master of Art B. Monet: The Pioneer of Impressionism C. Impression, Sunrise Is an Artistic Revolution D. Impression, Sunrise Is a Mirror for the 19th Century Europe 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。它通过对Claude Monet的《日出·印象》这幅画的详细描述和深入分析，探讨了画作的艺术特点、历史背景、象征意义以及在艺术史上的地位。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In the port of Le Havre, the dawn light embraces the water; small boats move through the mist; tall factory chimneys (烟囱) mix their smoke with the fog — an image of beauty and harmony painted by Claude Monet in Impression, Sunrise, inviting you to step into the world of Impressionism.(在勒阿弗尔港，晨光拥抱着水面；小船在雾中穿行；高大的工厂烟囱将烟与雾混合在一起——克劳德·莫奈在《日出·印象》中描绘的美丽和谐的画面，邀请你走进印象派的世界)”可知，文章开头通过详细描述勒阿弗尔港的黎明景色，使用了生动的视觉语言来吸引读者。这种描述手法的目的是抓住读者的注意力，使他们对文章的主题产生兴趣，并激发其继续阅读下去的欲望，故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“In this painting, Monet abandoned the mainstream academic art style of his time — distinct boundaries and colors. Instead, he focused on color relationships and the effects of outdoor light, capturing the delicate changes of colors through reflections on the water surface, breakıng through the limits of the art world at the time.(在这幅画中，莫奈抛弃了当时主流的学院派艺术风格——鲜明的边界和色彩。相反，他专注于色彩关系和室外光线的效果，通过水面的反射捕捉色彩的微妙变化，突破了当时艺术界的限制)”和第三段“This artistic treasure not only showcases Monet’s unique insight into the interplay of light and color in nature but also mirrors his pioneering approach to artistic creation. (这幅艺术珍品不仅展示了莫奈对自然中光与色相互作用的独特见解，也反映了他开创性的艺术创作方法)”可知，莫奈放弃了当时主流的学术艺术风格——明显的边界和颜色，而专注于色彩之间的关系和户外光线的效果，捕捉水面反射色彩的微妙变化，突破了当时艺术界的限制。这表明莫奈是一个创新的艺术家，故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“This artistic treasure not only showcases Monet’s unique insight into the interplay of light and color in nature but also mirrors his pioneering approach to artistic creation. Meanwhile, it describes a warm and peaceful life, representing people’s expectations for economic recovery and social stability.

Standing at half a meter tall, Morti can learn to walk within one hour, in roughly the same amount of time as a newborn horse, which is a remarkable achievement in the field of robotics. Designed by Felix Ruppert, Morti operates on an AI algorithm (算法) that copies the neural (神经系统的) networks found in the spinal cords (脊髓) of animals, which are responsible for controlling the rhythmic conduction of muscles during walking. Morti can follow the way a baby animal learns to move, as it also finds the most efficient way to use their muscles by trying and initially tripping. “Just by learning to use-legs properly, you basically get energy efficiency for free,” says Ruppert. This is a big step forward in the world of robotics, where energy efficiency is a key factor in the practical application of such technology. A common challenge for AI systems is their ability to adapt when the environment changes. Morti’s design, which relies on the continuous adjustment of its movements, could offer a solution to this challenge, potentially making it perform better in dynamic and changing environments. Hillel Chiel at Case Western Reserve University in Ohio says, “The brains of animals contain structures and knowledge that aid their learning. Some AIs can imitate animal-like learning, but their artificial nervous systems are generally not yet as complex”. Morti’s energy-efficient learning process and its capacity to adjust to its environment are indicative of the future possibilities in AI and robotics. This technology could pave the way for the development of more advanced and adaptable machines, revolutionizing the way we think about and interact with robotics. Morti is not just a robot, but a glance into a future where machines can learn and adapt with a level of efficiency and responsiveness that was once thought to be just for living things. 8. Why does the author mention “a newborn horse” in Paragraph 1? A. To show the speed at which Morti learns to walk. B. To illustrate the complexity of Morti’s AI algorithm. C. To compare the size of Morti to that of a newborn horse. D. To highlight the less efficiency of Morti’s learning process. 9. What can we learn about Morti’s AI algorithm from Paragraph 2? A. It integrates multiple AI techniques. B. It imitates the neural pathways in animal brains. C. It echoes the learning strategies of young animals. D It clones the neural networks in the spinal cords of animals. 10. How does Monti cope with the challenge of environmental changes? A. By learning to use its legs. B. By adjusting its movements. C. By copying human’s behavior. D. By predicting environmental changes. 11 What is the text mainly about? A. The challenges AI faces. B. The development of a new algorithm. C. The similarities between Morti and living things. D. The creation and learning process of the robot Morti. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11.

Without birds to spread their seeds, the diversity of fruit-producing plants declined, highlighting the critical importance of seed dispersal for ecosystem health. Just as Jordi Bascompte, an ecologist at the University of Zurich, calls it “the glue that keeps ecological communities together”. Recently, a study in Science reveals that at least one-third of European plant species are endangered. This includes not just birds but also mammals, reptiles, and ants. Pedro Jordano, another ecologist, illustrated the study “brilliant and captivating” but also “alarming”, warning that the loss of seed dispersers could prevent plants expanding their ranges to adapt to climate change or recover from wildfires, especially in Europe’s highly disjointed landscape. Ruben Heleno, a community ecologist, said, “We should not be afraid of using the word crisis,” given the situation that plant species are facing. Sara Mendes, a Ph. D. student at the University of Coimbra, searched through thousands of studies in 26 languages, focusing on terms like seed dispersal and the more than 900 European animals likely to consume seeds. “The project requires a certain amount of craziness to be accomplished,” she said, adding that in all major biogeographical areas in Europe, more than one-third of seed-dispersing animal species are either threatened or decreasing. Furthermore, the study discloses that over 60% of plants have five or fewer seed dispersers, making them particularly susceptible to the decline or disappearance of any of these critical species. Nearly 80 “very high concern” interactions where both the plant and its disperser are threatened or declining, such as the European fan palm relying on the endangered rabbit, have been identified. Despite the extensive data, significant gaps remain. International Union for Conservation of Nature assessments are incomplete for 67% of the plant species, and the roles of various dispersers, especially for rare plants, are still unclear. Ecologists warn that similar crises may be unfolding on other continents, continents,including North America. 12. What’s the primary cause of the decline in fruit-producing plant diversity in Lambir Hills National Park? A. The disjointedness of the European landscape. B. The absence of birds to spread plant seeds. C. The impact of climate change on plant species. D. The removal of fruit-eating animals by hunters. 13. What is Ruben Heleno’s attitude towards the situation described in the passage? A. Concerned. B. Optimistic. C. Neutral. D. Indifferent. 14. What does the underlined word “susceptible” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Stable. B. Sensitive. C. Adaptable. D. Resistant. 15. How is the information organized in the article? A. Time order. B. Problem-solution format. C. Cause and effect structure. D. Comparison among different species. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15.

The only idea I could come up with was to offer our services as gardeners, going door to door to propose weeding neighbors’ gardens for 2 dollars each. Our proposal was fair, yet unexpectedly, only Mrs. White, living three blocks from our house, accepted the offer. Maybe that was because no one would take children’s words seriously. We agreed on the weeding at 8:00 the next morning. Having the first client, Lucy and I couldn’t contain ourselves and felt as if we had achieved a monumental task, hearts swelling with pride. We were going to be gardeners! But the excitement of the moment was fleeting, and the next day, the attraction of play and the forgetfulness of childhood overtook us. We forgot about our commitment. Concerned about our absence, Mrs. White contacted our mother. As we walked into the kitchen through the back door at 11:00 a. m. , Mom had just hung up the phone. She asked about our little gardening business. Surprisingly, she wasn’t angry, instead, she found our initiative amusing. She explained that Mrs. White had called her, expressing disappointment over our broken promise. Faced with the mistake, we admitted our oversight and promised to make a sincere apology sometime. Instead of criticizing us, Mom busied herself with lunch preparations as if nothing had happened. We did feel a touch of guilt, but it was quickly overshadowed by what Mom said next. As we mouthed on sandwiches, Mom casually asked, “Would you was like to go to Disneyland this afternoon?” We sprang into action, bathing and dressing, which was like getting ready for a birthday party. We rushed outside, not wanting to miss the bus that would take us downtown. The sun was high in the sky as we stood outside, our bags packed and hearts full of anticipation. 注意： 1. 续写的词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 On the landing, Mom said, “Girls, we are not going to Disneyland today.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We knocked gently on Mrs. White’s door, heads down and hearts heavy. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 On the landing, Mom said, “Girls, we are not going to Disneyland today.” Lucy’s eyes widened in disbelief. Our excitement gave way to disappointment. “But Mom, you just promised!” I exclaimed, confusion clouding my thoughts. She looked at us seriously and explained, “I didn’t keep my promise either, and now you know how it hurts. You need to learn that actions have consequences. Disneyland can await, but learning to be responsible and trustworthy can’t.” Mom’s words hit us hard, the white lie making us realize the gravity of our mistake. Instead of moving to Disneyland, we had to go back to confront our responsibilities and make things right． We knocked gently on Mrs. White’s door, heads down and hearts heavy. When she opened it, we saw a hint of surprise in her eyes. We quickly apologized for not keeping our promise and for letting her down. Mrs. White smiled warmly and forgave us, saying that she understood how easily children could forget. Together, we worked hard to remove the weeds. Mom taught us a true lesson which would stay with us forever. It was a lesson about the importance of keeping our word and the impact our action could have on others. That day, we not only weeded Mrs. White’s garden but also planted the seeds of responsibility and integrity within ourselves． 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者七岁那年，和妹妹迫切地想要独立，于是开始了一项园艺生意，为邻居们除草来赚取费用。令她们惊讶的是，只有怀特夫人接受了她们的提议。然而，第二天她们却忘记了她们的约定，导致怀特夫人联系上了她们的母亲。面对她们的错误，她们感到内疚，但很快就被母亲提出的惊喜提议所分散了注意力——她打算那天下午带她们去迪士尼乐园。但是临出门时母亲又说不去了，母亲用不去迪士尼乐园的策略让孩子们意识到他们的错误。接下来，通过道歉和实际行动，孩子们挽回了失信的过失，学会了履行承诺的价值。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“在楼梯平台上，妈妈说：“孩子们，我们今天不去迪斯尼乐园了。””可知，第一段描述母亲通过实际行为告诉作者和妹妹被食言的感受。 ②由第二段句首内容“我们轻轻地敲了敲怀特太太的门，低着头，心情沉重。”可知，第二段可描写作者和妹妹去帮助怀特太太的花园除草，履行自己的承诺。 2. 续写线索：妈妈食言——伤心——教导——明白自己的错误——道歉——完成承诺——感悟。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①大喊：exclaim/shout out ②意识到：realize/aware of ③信守诺言：keep one’s word/keep one’s promise 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitement/enthusiasm ②惊讶：surprise/amazement 【点睛】【高分句型1】You need to learn that actions have consequences.
