One impressive moment was making dumplings with my family. We sat around the table, chatting and laughing while shaping the dumplings. It was not just about the food, but also the warmth and togetherness, which made me truly understand the importance of reunion. It fills me with great pride that the Chinese Spring Festival is officially recognized as the Intangible Cultural Heritage. This achievement not only means global recognition but also proves the unique charm of Chinese culture. Let’s cherish and pass on the rich heritage of the Chinese Spring Festival. Thanks for your listening! A possible version 2 Dear judges, I’m extremely excited to share my experiences during the Chinese Spring Festival. One of the most unforgettable moments was watching Li Ziqi’s performance on the Spring Festival Gala. Her show was a visual feast, skillfully combining traditional Chinese elements and rural life scenes. It made me realize the Chinese Spring Festival is not just a festival but also a carrier of our diverse culture. I’m filled with boundless pride as it’s officially recognized as the Intangible Cultural Heritage. It’s a remarkable milestone, showing the long - lasting charm of our culture to the world. Let’s cherish and pass on the wonderful traditions of the Chinese Spring Festival. Thanks for your listening! 第二节 (满分 25 分) Anyway, Jack was determined to express his gratitude in person. The next day, he arrived at a charming cottage 高三英语试题答案 第 2 页 共 3 页 where Mr. Thompson now resided. Mr. Thompson was tending to his garden. On hearing Jack’s greeting ,Mr. Thompson turned, his face lighting up with recognition and warmth. “Jack, what a wonderful surprise!” He pulled Jack into a heartfelt embrace. “Mr. Thompson, I can’t thank you enough for the check. But I hesitate to accept your pity.”The old man shook his head. “This isn’t pity,” Mr. Thompson replied, “It’s trust. You’ll be the person you’re meant to be. ” Inspired by Mr. Thompson’s words, Jack knew what to do next. Returning to his city, he worked nights as a cleaner while studying computer science. Years later, as a successful app developer, he tried to repay the money. But Mr. Thompson refused, writing: “Help others who need it like you. An act of kindness can change lives in ways we never imagined.” Jack listened, tutoring kids for free and donating to community. Every time he helped someone, he remembered Mr. Thompson’s kindness—not just the money, but the lesson that generosity could create waves of kindness that kept spreading. 录音文稿 Text 1 W: I think this pair of gloves, which is six and a quarter inches, might be too large for me.

But last month, a song featuring what sounded like his and Bieber’s voices started spreading on TikTok, gaining millions of likes. Bad Bunny hadn’t lied, though: the song was created with AI. An artist named FlowGPT had used AI technology to recreate the voices of Bad Bunny, Bieber and Daddy Yankee. Bad Bunny himself hated it, discouraging his fans from listening. But many fans of all three stars loved it all the same. The song and the polarized reactions to it show how AI has stormed the music industry in a troublesome way. Over the past couple of years, advancements in machine learning have made it possible for anyone sitting in their homes to reproduce the sound of their favourite musicians. 第 4页/共 12页 Some boosters argue that these advancements will allow anyone with an idea to create music. But some artists have reacted with anger that something so personal as their voice or musical style could be commercialised for someone else’s gain. The push-and-pull between protecting artists, driving innovations, and determining the supportive roles for man and machine in music creation will be explored for years to come. The singer-songwriter Holly Herndon is among the artists trying to get ahead of these changes. She created an imitation of her own voice called Holly+, allowing anyone to transform their own voice into hers. The purpose of the project is not to force other artists to also surrender (让出) their voices, but to encourage them to also take on an active role in these larger conversations. “I think it’s an opportunity to rethink what the role of the artist is,” she tells TIME. “There’s a way to still have some control over the digital version of yourself, but be more playful and less strict.” 4. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By making a comparison. B. By presenting a survey. C. By citing an incident. D. By sharing a song. 5. What does the underlined phrase “The push-and-pull” in paragraph 3 mean? A. The competition. B. The responsibility. C. The equality. D. The balance. 6. What is the purpose of creating Holly+? A. To involve artists in AI discussions. B. To challenge artists’ traditional role. C. To commercially use the digital voice. D. To offer ideas for fans’ music creation. 7. What does the text mainly convey about AI music? A. Its popularity. B. Its controversy. C. Its feature. D. Its profit. C We take our speech abilities for granted. Most people do not stop to think of how other animals and insects communicate with each other. Ants are amazing creatures that have a tireless work pattern and complex social structure. To achieve this, they must have some ways of communicating with each other. Obviously, ants do not speak as we do, so how do they communicate? Ants communicate by releasing pheromones (信息素) that function outside of the body to send chemical messages to the ant that receives it and by touching their antennae (触角) to feel and smell each other. The best example that we can see very clearly is that ants find food sources and drop pheromones on their ways. By using 第 5页/共 12页 their antennae to detect pheromone trails and following a sweeping pattern, they encounter a trail. Once the pheromone trail is found, they follow it with one antenna on either side of the path, ensuring they keep on track. This allows other ants to follow the pheromones. The result of these pheromone paths is long lines of ants, marching one behind each other to collect food. The queen ant uses pheromones to signal. As the queen ages, she gives off pheromones that tell the ant colony that she is dying. They begin feeding and preparing a pupa (蛹) to be the new queen. When ants greet each other with their antennae, they can tell if they are friends or foes and what function each ant fulfills in the nest. Scientists know that this is possible, but they are still trying to identify which pheromones share this information. Ants also give off pheromones that identify the nest they belong to, their social status, and their maturity. The more researchers study ants, the more they discover about their ability to translate information to one another, learn, form collective memories and sound alarms. Ants are truly amazing communicators. 8. How could ants communicate according to the text? A. By attracting companions via sounds. B. By sending alarm signals to the queen. C. By identifying pheromones with antennae. D. By keeping on the same track. 9. What is the function of the pheromone trail? A. To spot enemies in the ant colony. B. To help companions find food sources. C. To keep the orders of the ant community. D. To enable ants to communicate with humans. 10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Ants have no collective memories. B. Ants’ alarm-sounding ability is unique. C. Researchers have identified the types of pheromones. D. More secrets on ants’ communication remain unknown. 11. Which can be the best title for the text? A. The Insight into Ants’ Communication. B. The Secret of Touching Antennae. C. The Research on Ants’ Memories. D. The Amazing World of Ants. D The emergence of de-inking printers represents an advancement of printing technology and paper recycling, addressing one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. For decades, conventional printing 第 6页/共 12页 processes have been linked to substantial paper waste, with millions of tons of paper being consumed annually-often used just once before being thrown away. The innovative de-inking printer operates through a combination of advanced technologies. Using an advanced sensor system, it first identifies the presence of ink on the surface of the paper. Subsequently, a high-intensity laser (激 光 ) is precisely directed to target and vaporize (汽 化 ) ink effectively, removing them without causing any damage to the paper fibers. One of the most remarkable advantages of this technology lies in its potential to reduce overall paper consumption. By enabling the reuse of printed materials through effective ink removal, it significantly reduces the demand for newly produced paper. This shift not only preserves natural resources but also plays a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions associated with the paper production. From an economic perspective (角 度 ), the adoption of de-inking printers presents long-term financial advantages. Although the initial investment in purchasing and installing the printer may be relatively high, the long-term savings from reduced paper and ink purchases can be substantial. However, the widespread adoption of de-inking printers is not without its challenges. The technology requires further improvements to enhance de-inking efficiency and ensure that the quality of recycled paper meets industry standards. Additionally, there exists a significant barrier in terms of user acceptance: many individuals and organizations remain accustomed to using new paper and may be reluctant to recycled alternatives, even when they are of comparable quality. In conclusion, the de-inking printer stands as a ray of hope for achieving a more sustainable future within the printing industry.

Despite the city’s promise of opportunities, he struggled with a low-paying job and high expenses. Every month felt like a battle to make ends meet. He missed the warmth of Mr. Thompson’s old house, where every tenant (租户) felt like family and Mr. Thompson treated each tenant with constant kindness. One cool autumn day, as Jack sorted through his mail, mostly consisting of bills and advertisements, a plain white envelope caught his eye. The return address belonged to Mr. Thompson. Heart pounding with curiosity, Jack tore it open. Inside, a check for $2,500 and a handwritten note fell into his hands. “Dear Jack, I hope this letter finds you well. I’ve recently sold the old house, and it felt only right to share a portion of the proceeds with those who made it a home. Over the years, watching young people like you grow and pursue their dreams has been my greatest reward. Your presence brought joy and warmth to our community. I wish you all the best. Warm regards, Thompson” Jack’s eyes welled up with tears of gratitude. This unexpected windfall was more than just money-it was a lifeline, a ray of hope in his struggles. The gesture reminded him of all the times Mr. Thompson had shown similar kindness to his tenants, from helping with repairs to offering wise advice during difficult times. The check trembled in Jack’s hand. It could fix everything, he thought-the unpaid rent, the empty fridge, and the endless fear. But his chest tightened. Memories of his father’s lectures echoed: “Never depend on others. Stand on your own.” Jack had promised to prove himself in the city, yet here he was, drowning. Mr. Thompson’s words warmed him, but doubt crept in. Was it a charity case? He needed answers-not from the money, but from the man who sent it. 第 11页/共 12页 Jack paced, the check glaring from the table. He imagined Mr. Thompson’s kind eyes. This isn’t pity, Jack reasoned. It’s... thanks. 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。 Anyway, Jack was determined to express his gratitude in person. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ Inspired by Mr. Thompson’s words, Jack knew what to do next. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ 第 12页/共 12页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
