B Li Ziqi, a beloved Chinese influencer, made a dramatic return to social media after a three-year gap, releasing her first videos and causing a hit. Her initial claim to fame was through videos showcasing her peaceful life in China’s Sichuan province countryside, where she cooked and crafted against a peaceful rural background. By 2021, Li had acquired millions of followers on Chinese social media and became the most popular Chinese-language influencer on YouTube. However, with a video posted on July 14, 2021, her online presence disappeared as she was reportedly involved in a contract dispute (纠纷) with her agency. On 12 Nov, Li ended her mysterious absence by posting three new videos unexpectedly on her channels. One video documents her creation of a lacquered wardrobe (漆柜) for her grandmother, while the others show her building a bamboo shed and making velvet flowers. The first video accumulated over 100 million views on Weibo within five hours of its release, and by Wednesday afternoon, the topic of Li’s return had obtained over 270 million views. Li’s popularity is the result of her description of rural life, attracting millennials and Gen Z, who find urban living less satisfactory over time, and her dedication to preserving traditional Chinese culture. Li’s return has been met with enthusiasm by fans who admire her courage to take a break from her peak popularity. She has remained largely silent about her life during her absence but has now expressed her desire to share more about her experiences and mindset over the past few years. In 2017, Li and her representatives established a company to manage her growing content empire. After a lawsuit (诉讼) with the agency, Li regained control over her content, with her agency’s shares reduced to 1%, and she owned the remaining 99%. Li appears to have been planning her comeback for some time, with her first video documenting a months-long effort to build a lacquered wardrobe. She named her handiwork “Ziqi Donglai,” which translates to “arrival of good fortune” and includes a homonym of her name, Ziqi, symbolizing “Ziqi from the East.” Li has announced her intention to continue promoting traditional Chinese culture through a series of videos developed by various craftsmen. She reflects on her time away from the spotlight, stating that being forgotten allowed her to focus on her passions without distractions. 4. Why did Li Ziqi disappear from social media? A. To learn new skills. B. To focus on personal life. C. To resolve a contract dispute. D. To recover from an illness. 5. Why are Li Ziqi’s videos attractive to millennials and Gen Z? A. They show the peaceful rural life busy urban youths desire. B. They document the rise of a new social media influencer. C They offer a glimpse into the fast-paced urban life. D. They focus on the latest trend rural residents like. 6. How did Li Ziqi regain control of her content? A. By purchasing more shares. B. By reducing her agency’s shares. C. By setting up a new company. D. By negotiating with her agency. 7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Li Ziqi’s Success Story in the Internet Era B. Li Ziqi’s Contract Dispute and Its Solution C. Li Ziqi: A great Chinese Influencer on Social Media D. Li Ziqi’s Return: A New Chapter of Cultural Promotion C This autumn, pupils in the Finnish town of Riihimaki headed back to school with backpacks full of books. This marks a change from recent years. For the past 10 years, the Finnish government has pushed laptops and other electronic devices in the classroom. Finland’s public education system is known for its good results and its readiness to try new teaching methods. Until recently many schools gave laptops for free to all pupils from as early as age 11. But Finnish parents and teachers have become increasingly worried about the influence of screens on children. Riihimaki, a town of about 30,000 people, which since 2018 had stopped using most books in middle schools, is trying something different this year: going back to pen and paper. “Young people are using phones and electronic devices so much these days that we don’t want school to be one of the places where children are only fixing their eyes on screens. The perturbation that comes with the use of electronic devices makes many children unable to give their full attention to learning,” said Maija Kaunonen, a local English teacher. She added, “Most students just did the exercises as quickly as they could so they could then move on to using social media. And it took them no time at all to change tabs in the browser. So when the teacher came round to them, they could say, ‘Yes, I was doing this exercise.’” Across Finland, children’s learning results have been slowly getting worse in recent years. In answer, the government plans new laws to ban the use of personal devices, such as phones, during school hours to cut down on screen time. Eighth-graders Miko Mantil a said her concentration has improved since books returned to the classrooms. “Reading is much easier and I can read much faster from books.” Minna Peltopuro, a psychologist working with the town on the change, said the total screen time should be cut because Finnish students now look at a screen for up to six hours each day on average. She added that too much use of electronic devices comes with both physical and mental risks, such as eye problems and growing anxiety, and the brain is at risk when trying to do more than one thing at a time. 8. What changes have occurred in Riihimiki’s schools recently? A. They have replaced laptops with textbooks. B. They have started using more electronic devices. C. They have introduced a different teaching method. D. They have adopted a new public education system. 9. What does the underlined word “perturbation” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Convenience. B. Disturbance. C. Challenge. D. Popularity. 10. What is Minna Peltopuro’s attitude to the average screen time for Finnish students? A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Unconcerned. D. Supportive. 11. What is the purpose of writing this text? A. To discuss the future of Finnish education. B. To persuade schools to stop using electronic devices. C. To inform readers about the changes in Finnish education. D. To compare the traditional education method with the modern one. D The human brain is made up of billions of cells called neurons (神经元), which are connected by vast “neural networks” that allow us to learn about the world. Neurons are like small pieces of snow: they look the same from a distance but on further inspection it’s clear that no two are exactly alike. By contrast, each cell in an artificial neural network — the technology on which artificial intelligence (AI) is based — is identical, with only their connectivity varying. Despite the speed at which AI technology is advancing, their neural networks do not learn as accurately or quickly as the human brain. Researchers set out to study whether simulating (模拟) the brain by varying neural network cell properties could improve learning in AI. They found that the variability (可变量) in the cells improved their learning and reduced energy consumption. When they changed the amount of variability in the simulated networks, they found that the ones that performed best matched the amount of variability seen in the brain, suggesting that the brain may have evolved to have just the right amount of variability for best possible learning. Dr. Dan Goodman said, “Evolution has given us incredible brain functions, most of which we are only just beginning to understand. Our research suggests that we can learn vital lessons from our own biology to make AI work better for us.” To carry out the study the researchers focused on adjusting the “time constant” (时间常数) — that is, how quickly each cell decides what it wants to do based on what the cells connected to it are doing. After varying the cells’ time constants, they gave the network jobs: to classify images of clothing and handwritten digits, to recognize human gestures, and to identify spoken digits and commands. The results show that by allowing the network to combine slow and fast information, it was better able to solve tasks in more complicated, real-world settings. Current AI systems are far from achieving the level of energy efficiency that the researchers find in biological systems. Next, they will be interested in looking at how to reduce the energy consumption of these networks to get AI networks closer to performing as efficiently as the brain. 12. What can be learned about neurons from paragraph 1? A. The neurons allow us to learn about the world. B. The human brain is made up of billions of neurons. C. The human brain is made to learn quickly by neurons. D. The neurons are like small pieces of snow in the shape. 13. What can be inferred about learning in AI? A. It is as effective as biological systems. B. It is more efficient than the human brain. C. It consumes less energy than the human brain. D. It performs best with the right amount of variability. 14. Why did researchers adjust the “time constant”? A. To simplify the complicated real-world tasks. B. To record the networks’ energy consumption. C. To help the network process slow and fast information. D. To enhance the networks’ performance in complex tasks. 15. What will the researchers focus on in the near future? A. The values of AI networks. B. The functions of human brains. C. The efficiency of AI networks. D. The evolution of human brains. 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。 A recent study suggests that challenging, fun and engaging hobbies have the power to make people happier and healthier. But where do you start? ___16___ Ask yourself how you want to feel Hobbies present an escape — they can help you get out of your head and calm down. Ask yourself how you want an activity to make you feel. ___17___ There’s no such thing as one perfect hobby, thus it’s appropriate to recognize you have different needs at different moments. ___18___ Don’t invest a ton of time and money in a new hobby immediately. You can figure out gradually if it’s right for you or you can do it more later. If you’re wondering if bowling might be a good fit, join an outing or two with a local Meetup group. Be open It’s significant to keep an open mind to potential hobbies. Katina went hiking and someone handed her a book about how to plant. Instead of throwing it away, she paid attention, and now she has a new hobby. ___19___ However, we often forget that in a very burned-out world. So seize the opportunity, or you won’t guess what you’d love. Remove guilt A mental health counselor helps those who feel guilty about spending time on leisure. “Give yourself permission to do something that you like,” he suggests, “and keep in mind that if a hobby makes you healthier and happier, everyone around you will benefit. ___20___ It’s certain that it will make you a better person in every aspect of your life. A. Start small B. Keep a list C. We’re excited as humans to be curious and open. D. Hobbies live in the pleasure world, not necessarily the mastery world. E. Experts give the advice on how to discover the hobbies you don’t yet know you’ll love. F. It’s also helpful to consider what your life is missing, like creativity or physical activity. G. Think of discovering a new hobby that will add fulfilling new dimensions to your life. 第三部分 语言运用 （共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 There is one patient that Sarah Rose Black still thinks about. Back in 2019, the nursing team at a cancer centre in Toronto asked if she could ___21___ to a patient who had been there for about a week. The man seemed to be ___22___ and was unwilling to engage with staff or be part of any activities. “They told me, ‘He is unsocial and ___23___, and we wonder if you might have a talk with him.’” Black isn’t a doctor or a nurse. She’s the on-staff music therapist (治疗师). On any given day, she might see one person who is ___24___ about an upcoming procedure. Another who is ___25___ pain and in need of relief. Or she might ___26___ someone, like the man in the center, who doesn’t yet know he needs her. On a wintry Wednesday afternoon, Black ___27___ the patient and introduced herself. She asked if she could play some music. After some ___28___ urging, the 70-something man, who had a severe disease, told her a few classical composers he liked and then ___29___ to look out of the window. But as she started to play one of his favorites, he turned towards her and started to cry with his arms unfolded. “It was as if the ____30____ went places that nothing else could,” ____31____ Black. “He shared with me afterward that he had ____32____ himself so much and had been unable to talk about anything, but the music showed up at a moment when it felt like a(n) ____33____.” Music can have a profound effect on helping sick people. Finding those meaningful moments is the therapist’s role, but as Sarah Rose Black notes, people have been ____34____ with music for their whole lives — she is just helping them ____35____ it again at a time when they need it most. “We have a heartbeat, so we have a drum inside us; we are wired to be musical people,” Black says. 21.

At first glance it may seem ___36___ (significant), but to those who know its history, Liuchi Alley in Tongcheng symbolizes much more than its initial appearance would suggest. It was so named because of its ___37___ (wide). In the early Qing Dynasty (1644 -1911) it ___38___ (serve) as the boundary between the households of two eminent (杰出的) families. But the two families quarreled. The source of their dispute was the boundary between their two properties and which family had the right to build a wall on the ___39___ (divide) line. After trying, and failing, to appeal ___40___ a regional official for mediation (调解), the Zhangs wrote to Zhang Ying, their most eminent family member and a trusted top official in the emperor’s court. His response, which is still celebrated in the form of a poem, did not provide the support for ___41___ his family had hoped. Instead, he called for his relatives to step back 1 meter from the boundary — ___42___ suggestion that so moved the disputing parties, the story goes, that both did ___43___ (exact) that. Thus the alley was born. The alley has often been cited in connection with thoughts on tolerance, morality, social order and the ___44___ (quality) that define a good official. The local government has made great efforts ____45____ (restore) the area to its original glory. It was reopened to visitors last year. 第四部分 写作 （共两节，满分40分） 第一节 （满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，你校英文报正在开展以“How to Identify Fake News”为主题的征文活动。请你写一篇英语短文参赛，阐述你认为可行的鉴别虚假新闻的方法。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 How to Identify Fake News ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节 （满分25分） 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Like many others, I had the burning dream of becoming a sportsman. However, due to my middle-class family background, buying sports equipment was just a luxury I couldn’t afford. But I was determined not to give up and continued to pursue my dream. One day, while I was practicing athletics, a sudden sharp pain shot through my knee. I fell to the ground, clutching my knee tightly. That severe knee injury crushed my dream of becoming a good athlete. The doctor advised me firmly not to play sports anymore. My parents gently comforted me, “We know how much you love sports, but your health comes first,” their eyes filled with worry and concern. I hung my head in despair, tears welling up in my eyes. I knew I had no choice but to sacrifice it for my health. Although I never played sports again, that dream still lingered in my heart like a flickering flame. Another incident that changed my life was when my father had a severe heart stroke. I remember that day vividly. I was at home when I heard a strange noise from my father’s room. I rushed in and saw him lying on the bed, struggling to breathe. Without hesitation, I called the ambulance, my hands shaking uncontrollably as I dialed the number. Fortunately, he was safe after getting timely treatment. But when the doctor said to me, “You brought him in time. Otherwise, things would be very different.” Hearing this, I fell into a deep dilemma. Looking at my weak father I thought about my long-cherished dream of going abroad for higher studies. Finally, I gave up my dream and decided to stay with them, feeling a complex mixture of sadness and determination. I knew it was a difficult choice, but I also knew it was the right thing to do. Moreover, my sister’s troubled marriage had a profound impact on our family. There were constant quarrels in her house and ours, the sound of angry shouts and sobs filling the air, which made my parents mentally disturbed for 5 years. To take care of them, I gave up the opportunity to relocate for higher studies and better job opportunities. I couldn’t abandon my parents in their time of need. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Luckily, now I can feel a glimmer of happiness after these sacrifices. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My family’s journey has witnessed the power of love and sacrifice. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 黄山市2024—2025学年度第一学期期末质量检测 高三英语试题 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用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。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 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.

Her initial claim to fame was through videos showcasing her peaceful life in China’s Sichuan province countryside, where she cooked and crafted against a peaceful rural background. By 2021, Li had acquired millions of followers on Chinese social media and became the most popular Chinese-language influencer on YouTube. However, with a video posted on July 14, 2021, her online presence disappeared as she was reportedly involved in a contract dispute (纠纷) with her agency. On 12 Nov, Li ended her mysterious absence by posting three new videos unexpectedly on her channels. One video documents her creation of a lacquered wardrobe (漆柜) for her grandmother, while the others show her building a bamboo shed and making velvet flowers. The first video accumulated over 100 million views on Weibo within five hours of its release, and by Wednesday afternoon, the topic of Li’s return had obtained over 270 million views. Li’s popularity is the result of her description of rural life, attracting millennials and Gen Z, who find urban living less satisfactory over time, and her dedication to preserving traditional Chinese culture. Li’s return has been met with enthusiasm by fans who admire her courage to take a break from her peak popularity. She has remained largely silent about her life during her absence but has now expressed her desire to share more about her experiences and mindset over the past few years. In 2017, Li and her representatives established a company to manage her growing content empire. After a lawsuit (诉讼) with the agency, Li regained control over her content, with her agency’s shares reduced to 1%, and she owned the remaining 99%. Li appears to have been planning her comeback for some time, with her first video documenting a months-long effort to build a lacquered wardrobe. She named her handiwork “Ziqi Donglai,” which translates to “arrival of good fortune” and includes a homonym of her name, Ziqi, symbolizing “Ziqi from the East.” Li has announced her intention to continue promoting traditional Chinese culture through a series of videos developed by various craftsmen. She reflects on her time away from the spotlight, stating that being forgotten allowed her to focus on her passions without distractions. 4. Why did Li Ziqi disappear from social media? A.

This marks a change from recent years. For the past 10 years, the Finnish government has pushed laptops and other electronic devices in the classroom. Finland’s public education system is known for its good results and its readiness to try new teaching methods. Until recently many schools gave laptops for free to all pupils from as early as age 11. But Finnish parents and teachers have become increasingly worried about the influence of screens on children. Riihimaki, a town of about 30,000 people, which since 2018 had stopped using most books in middle schools, is trying something different this year: going back to pen and paper. “Young people are using phones and electronic devices so much these days that we don’t want school to be one of the places where children are only fixing their eyes on screens. The perturbation that comes with the use of electronic devices makes many children unable to give their full attention to learning,” said Maija Kaunonen, a local English teacher. She added, “Most students just did the exercises as quickly as they could so they could then move on to using social media. And it took them no time at all to change tabs in the browser. So when the teacher came round to them, they could say, ‘Yes, I was doing this exercise.’” Across Finland, children’s learning results have been slowly getting worse in recent years. In answer, the government plans new laws to ban the use of personal devices, such as phones, during school hours to cut down on screen time. Eighth-graders Miko Mantil a said her concentration has improved since books returned to the classrooms. “Reading is much easier and I can read much faster from books.” Minna Peltopuro, a psychologist working with the town on the change, said the total screen time should be cut because Finnish students now look at a screen for up to six hours each day on average. She added that too much use of electronic devices comes with both physical and mental risks, such as eye problems and growing anxiety, and the brain is at risk when trying to do more than one thing at a time. 8. What changes have occurred in Riihimiki’s schools recently? A. They have replaced laptops with textbooks. B. They have started using more electronic devices. C. They have introduced a different teaching method. D. They have adopted a new public education system. 9. What does the underlined word “perturbation” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Convenience. B. Disturbance. C. Challenge. D. Popularity. 10. What is Minna Peltopuro’s attitude to the average screen time for Finnish students? A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Unconcerned. D. Supportive. 11. What is the purpose of writing this text? A. To discuss the future of Finnish education. B. To persuade schools to stop using electronic devices. C. To inform readers about the changes in Finnish education. D. To compare the traditional education method with the modern one. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要说明了芬兰的Riihimaki镇今年开始重新使用纸质的教科书，取代了笔记本电脑。文章解释了这一举措背后的原因。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Riihimaki, a town of about 30,000 people, which since 2018 had stopped using most books in middle schools, is trying something different this year: going back to pen and paper.( Riihimaki是一个约有3万人口的小镇，自2018年以来，该镇已经停止在中学使用大多数书籍，今年正在尝试一些不同的东西：回到纸和笔)”可知，Riihimiki的学校最近用教科书取代了电脑，故选A。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“comes with the use of electronic devices makes many children unable to give their full attention to learning(随着电子设备的使用，许多孩子不能把全部注意力放在学习上)”可知，随着电子设备的使用，许多孩子不能把全部注意力放在学习上，即电子设备带来了干扰。故划线词意思是“干扰”。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Minna Peltopuro, a psychologist working with the town on the change, said the total screen time should be cut because Finnish students now look at a screen for up to six hours each day on average. She added that too much use of electronic devices comes with both physical and mental risks, such as eye problems and growing anxiety, and the brain is at risk when trying to do more than one thing at a time.(与该镇一起研究这一变化的心理学家Minna Peltopuro说，总屏幕时间应该减少，因为芬兰学生现在平均每天看屏幕的时间长达6个小时。她补充说，过度使用电子设备会带来身体和精神上的风险，比如眼睛问题和日益加剧的焦虑，而且当一次尝试做多件事时，大脑也会面临风险)”可知，Minna Peltopuro对芬兰学生的平均屏幕时间担心态度。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“This autumn, pupils in the Finnish town of Riihimaki headed back to school with backpacks full of books. This marks a change from recent years.(今年秋天，芬兰Riihimaki镇的学生们背着装满书的书包返校。这标志着近年来的变化)”以及文章主要说明了芬兰的Riihimaki镇今年开始重新使用纸质的教科书，取代了笔记本电脑。文章解释了这一举措背后的原因。可知，写这篇文章的目的是告知读者芬兰教育的变化。故选C。 D The human brain is made up of billions of cells called neurons (神经元), which are connected by vast “neural networks” that allow us to learn about the world. Neurons are like small pieces of snow: they look the same from a distance but on further inspection it’s clear that no two are exactly alike. By contrast, each cell in an artificial neural network — the technology on which artificial intelligence (AI) is based — is identical, with only their connectivity varying. Despite the speed at which AI technology is advancing, their neural networks do not learn as accurately or quickly as the human brain. Researchers set out to study whether simulating (模拟) the brain by varying neural network cell properties could improve learning in AI. They found that the variability (可变量) in the cells improved their learning and reduced energy consumption. When they changed the amount of variability in the simulated networks, they found that the ones that performed best matched the amount of variability seen in the brain, suggesting that the brain may have evolved to have just the right amount of variability for best possible learning. Dr. Dan Goodman said, “Evolution has given us incredible brain functions, most of which we are only just beginning to understand. Our research suggests that we can learn vital lessons from our own biology to make AI work better for us.” To carry out the study, the researchers focused on adjusting the “time constant” (时间常数) — that is, how quickly each cell decides what it wants to do based on what the cells connected to it are doing. After varying the cells’ time constants, they gave the network jobs: to classify images of clothing and handwritten digits, to recognize human gestures, and to identify spoken digits and commands. The results show that by allowing the network to combine slow and fast information, it was better able to solve tasks in more complicated, real-world settings. Current AI systems are far from achieving the level of energy efficiency that the researchers find in biological systems. Next, they will be interested in looking at how to reduce the energy consumption of these networks to get AI networks closer to performing as efficiently as the brain. 12. What can be learned about neurons from paragraph 1? A. The neurons allow us to learn about the world. B. The human brain is made up of billions of neurons. C. The human brain is made to learn quickly by neurons. D. The neurons are like small pieces of snow in the shape. 13. What can be inferred about learning in AI? A. It is as effective as biological systems. B. It is more efficient than the human brain. C. It consumes less energy than the human brain. D. It performs best with the right amount of variability. 14. Why did researchers adjust the “time constant”? A. To simplify the complicated real-world tasks. B. To record the networks’ energy consumption. C To help the network process slow and fast information. D. To enhance the networks’ performance in complex tasks. 15. What will the researchers focus on in the near future? A. The values of AI networks. B. The functions of human brains. C. The efficiency of AI networks. D. The evolution of human brains. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究人员开始研究通过改变神经网络细胞特性来模拟大脑是否可以提高人工智能的学习能力。解释了研究开展的经过以及发现。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The human brain is made up of billions of cells called neurons (神经元), which are connected by vast “neural networks” that allow us to learn about the world.(人类的大脑由数十亿个被称为神经元的细胞组成，这些细胞通过庞大的“神经网络”连接起来，使我们能够了解世界)”可知，人类的大脑由数十亿个神经元组成。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“When they changed the amount of variability in the simulated networks, they found that the ones that performed best matched the amount of variability seen in the brain, suggesting that the brain may have evolved to have just the right amount of variability for best possible learning.(当他们改变模拟网络中可变性的数量时，他们发现表现最好的网络与大脑中看到的可变性数量相匹配，这表明大脑可能已经进化到具有最佳学习能力的适当数量的可变性)”可知，在适当的可变性下，人工智能的学习表现得最好。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“After varying the cells’ time constants, they gave the network jobs: to classify images of clothing and handwritten digits, to recognize human gestures, and to identify spoken digits and commands. The results show that by allowing the network to combine slow and fast information, it was better able to solve tasks in more complicated, real-world settings.(在改变细胞的时间常数后，他们给网络分配了一些任务：对衣服和手写数字的图像进行分类，识别人类的手势，识别语音数字和命令。结果表明，通过允许网络结合慢速和快速信息，它能够更好地解决更复杂的现实环境中的任务)”可知，研究人员要调整“时间常数”是为了提高神经网络在复杂任务中的表现。故选D。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Next, they will be interested in looking at how to reduce the energy consumption of these networks to get AI networks closer to performing as efficiently as the brain.(接下来，他们将有兴趣研究如何减少这些网络的能量消耗，使人工智能网络更接近于像大脑一样高效地运行)”可知，研究人员接下来将关注如何降低这些网络的能量消耗，使 AI 网络更接近大脑的高效运行，即关注 AI 网络的效率，故选C。 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。 A recent study suggests that challenging, fun and engaging hobbies have the power to make people happier and healthier.

By being vigilant and using these methods, we can better spot fake news. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。题目要求学生以李华的身份，参加校英文报开展的征文活动，详细阐述一些鉴别虚假新闻的可行方法。 【详解】1. 词汇积累 必要的：essential→necessary, vital 调查：examine→investigate, look into 缺少：lack→be short of, be deficient in 目标是做某事：aim to do→be designed to do, be meant to do 2. 句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：In the digital age, fake news spreads like wildfire, making it essential for us to know how to identify it. 拓展句：In the digital age, fake news spreads like wildfire, which makes it essential for us to know how to identify it. 【点睛】[高分句型1] If a news article is from an unfamiliar or untrustworthy website whose reputation is dubious, it should raise red flags.

However, due to my middle-class family background, buying sports equipment was just a luxury I couldn’t afford. But I was determined not to give up and continued to pursue my dream. One day, while I was practicing athletics, a sudden sharp pain shot through my knee. I fell to the ground, clutching my knee tightly. That severe knee injury crushed my dream of becoming a good athlete. The doctor advised me firmly not to play sports anymore. My parents gently comforted me, “We know how much you love sports, but your health comes first,” their eyes filled with worry and concern. I hung my head in despair, tears welling up in my eyes. I knew I had no choice but to sacrifice it for my health. Although I never played sports again, that dream still lingered in my heart like a flickering flame. Another incident that changed my life was when my father had a severe heart stroke. I remember that day vividly. I was at home when I heard a strange noise from my father’s room. I rushed in and saw him lying on the bed struggling to breathe. Without hesitation, I called the ambulance, my hands shaking uncontrollably as I dialed the number. Fortunately, he was safe after getting timely treatment. But when the doctor said to me, “You brought him in time. Otherwise, things would be very different.” Hearing this, I fell into a deep dilemma. Looking at my weak father I thought about my long-cherished dream of going abroad for higher studies. Finally, I gave up my dream and decided to stay with them, feeling a complex mixture of sadness and determination. I knew it was a difficult choice, but I also knew it was the right thing to do. Moreover, my sister’s troubled marriage had a profound impact on our family. There were constant quarrels in her house and ours, the sound of angry shouts and sobs filling the air, which made my parents mentally disturbed for 5 years. To take care of them, I gave up the opportunity to relocate for higher studies and better job opportunities. I couldn’t abandon my parents in their time of need. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Luckily, now I can feel a glimmer of happiness after these sacrifices. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My family’s journey has witnessed the power of love and sacrifice. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Luckily, now I can feel a glimmer of happiness after these sacrifices.
