The air was thick and warm, and by the time my dad and I reached the cove, which we called a swimming palace, my clothes were damp and itchy on my skin. Dad swam nearby a cove, diving into a splash of front crawl, heading out toward the edge of our narrow bay. Overwhelmed, suddenly, with envy, I did what I hadn’t done in years: I held my breath and pulled my own head underwater. There, suspended beneath the glimmering surface, I remembered it all. My love of diving, swimming, rivers and lakes. I felt the cold ocean’s press on my cheeks and my eyelids, and knew what it was like again: to be free and fully present in my own skin. Though I’ve always loved the water, I had spent seven years prior to that day staying away from moments like this one. I was afraid. Struggling for a long time with chronic acne and unhelpful treatments, and the pressures of teenage girls’appearance, I had become entirely reliant on my makeup. I needed total control over how I looked, and going swimming meant washing this control away. My bare face and natural appearance were not something I identified with. I hated it, deeply, though I wished more than anything that I didn’t. But those 10 minutes of contentment I floated within — the muffled quiet of the underwater world—were fuel for the next chapter of my life. This would be my yardstick. Suddenly, it didn’t matter how I did it. Whether through medication or mental attitude, I would find a way to have the kind of life that allowed me to dive into the water whenever it called. That day was the beginning of a slow but determined journey back to my own body — a slow unlearning of my deep self-consciousness. Life didn’t change in a heartbeat: I returned to the shore with all the same fears, but I clothed myself in a new determination to change things. I felt the tide turn. Reflecting on this moment again today, it seems strange to think that going bare-faced on an empty beach was such a challenge. But this is exactly the perspective I had once dreamed of reaching. I do my best never to take for granted this freedom I have found. To pay attention, each time I sink under the surface of the water, embracing that swell of fear and joy and liberation. 24. What did the author realize during her underwater moment? A. She wanted to become a professional swimmer. B. She needed to find a way to control her appearance better. C. She missed the freedom and joy of diving and swimming. D. She decided to avoid swimming forever. 25. The author avoided swimming for seven years because ________. A. She had no access to the cove. B. She had to receive treatments. C. She hated to reapply her makeup. D. She felt insecure without makeup. 26. How did the author feel after she returned from the diving? A. Hesitant. B. Resolved. C. Proud. D. Joyful. 27. What can be inferred from Paragraph 5? A. You can’t judge a book by its cover. B. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. C. Self-acceptance is the greatest gift. D. Nothing is difficult to a willing heart. C Socrates declared that the unexamined life wasn’t worth living for a human being, implying that we should attempt to know ourselves, to think through our actions, choices, prejudices, and attitudes. But when it comes to thinking about our own happiness and what makes our lives go well, it really does seem that this reflective attitude can ruin our chances of finding what we seek. Perhaps it’s not surprising that we are better designed for engaging in other activities than reflecting on how best to achieve our own happiness and well-being. Doing things that enhance our growth in physical, social and intellectual areas tends to bring the reward of feeling good, and so stimulates us further to pursue those activities. Sitting around reflecting on what will make us happy is a lot less efficient than chasing the things that make us happy, and if we think too much, there is an opportunity cost — time that we could have spent in a worthwhile activity has gone while we were thinking deeply about the best way to develop. The philosopher David has written about the role of reflective thinking in sports. One of his observations is that while sportspeople need to think about the basic actions they are performing, it can be counterproductive to start thinking about the elements making up those actions. A footballer needs to think about kicking the ball low and hard to the left of the goalkeeper, but not to overthink the mechanics of the precise small movements of legs and feet that produce that outcome. If he or she does start this sort of thought process, it very often leads to a poorer shot. What’s needed is a kind of automatic response to the situation. Perhaps something similar is going on in our life. Those people who start detailed programs of self-development in various dimensions, focusing on diet, habits, exercise, mental activity, work output, and so on, are like the footballer thinking through the small muscle movements. Perhaps their well-meaning self-reflection on their own development and how they want to achieve it, is the very thing that will make a high level of development forever unobtainable for them. 28. What may cause an opportunity cost? A. Spending time on worthy activities. B. Joining in social meetings actively. C. Getting stuck in much self-reflection. D. Doing physical exercises efficiently. 29. Why does the author mention David’s observations? A. To praise a wise philosopher. B. To teach readers football skills. C. To cite a case of overthinking. D. To argue for reflective thinking. 30. What does the author suggest readers do to achieve their goals? A. Make a comprehensive plan. B. Adopt a direct approach. C. Think carefully before action. D. Attach importance to details. 31. What is a suitable title for this text? A. The Risk of Overthinking B. The Key to Well-being C. The Way to Think Reflectively D. The Method to Develop Yourself D Tipping points, also known as critical transitions (转变), are mathematical cliff-edges influencing everything in our life. The financial crisis of 2007-09 is often described as one. So is the moment that covid-19 went global. Anyone can spot a tipping point after it’s been crossed. But it is extremely difficult to spot them before they happen. Computer scientists in China now show that artificial intelligence (AI) can help. In a recent study, the researchers accurately predicted the beginning of tipping points in complicated systems with the help of machine-learning algorithms (算法). It could help solve real-world problems, such as predicting floods and power failure. To simplify their calculations, the team reduced all such problems to ones taking place within a large network of interacting nodes (节点), the individual elements within a large system. In a financial system, for example, a node might represent a company. The team then designed two artificial neural (神经的) networks to analyze such systems. To train their model, the researchers firstly turned to simplified theoretical systems in which tipping points are known to occur. Once the model could predict these transitions, it was applied to the real-world problem of how tropical forests turn to savannah (稀树草原). This has happened many times on Earth, but the details remain mysterious. The researchers first analyzed the data from three central African regions in the past 20 years and identified the tipping points. They then wanted to see if training their algorithm on data from two of these regions could enable it to correctly predict a transition point in the third. It could. The team then asked the algorithm to identify the conditions that drove the shift. The answer was, as expected, down to annual rainfall. But the AI was able to go further. The AI detailed that a slight decrease in rainfall from 1, 800 mm to 1, 630 mm led to a minor 5% drop in tree cover, but a further decrease to 1, 620 mm caused a significant 30% drop. This would be a textbook critical transition. And by predicting it from the raw data, the researchers say they have broken new ground in this field. The team are now trying to discover what specific features the Al identifies to make these predictions, which could help better predict everything from infectious outbreaks to the next stock market crash. 32. How did the team simplify the calculations? A. By limiting the problems within a large network. B. By focusing on the individual elements in a network. C. By transforming the problems into ones in a network. D. By reducing the number of problems in each network. 33. Why was the algorithm trained on data from two central African regions? A. To improve its ability of prediction. B. To check its analysis of the data. C. To perfect its solutions to problems. D. To test the accuracy of its prediction. 34. What breakthrough did the AI make in the study? A. It revealed the idea that tipping points are predictable. B. It identified a critical transition point in the tree cover. C. It confirmed previous theories about rainfall and tree cover. D. It predicted the future expansion of savannahs in central Africa. 35. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage? A. The Analysis of Rainfall: AI and Tree Cover B. Spotting Tipping Points: A Big Challenge for AI C. Machine Learning: Predicting Critical Moment D. Critical Transitions: The Key to Making Predictions 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。 Boundaries are personal guidelines that define what is and isn’t okay in your interpersonal relationships. As everyone has different needs and comfort levels, they may appear different for each person. Having healthy boundaries may provide such benefits as avoiding burnout, boosting self-esteem and maintaining personal space. ____36____ After setting your boundaries, it’s helpful to review them on a regular basis to remain relevant to your life circumstances. ____37____ The way you set them reflects your attitude to taking responsibility in life.

Once you have identified your boundaries, it is important to communicate them effectively. ____38____ Express your ideas in an open and straightforward manner; speak up for yourself so that others can hear, understand and respect your needs. Additionally, take a step back if tensions arise during a conversation about setting boundaries. Allow yourself or the other person to cool down before restarting the conversation. ____39____ When learning how to set healthy boundaries, it is essential to learn how to say “no”. Saying “yes” to everything can lead to stress, burnout, and frustration. It is important to understand what you consider acceptable and unacceptable, setting limits that reflect those standards. ____40____ If the situation persists, remove yourself from it respectfully.

He carried a secret burden: a stutter (口吃) that often brought about laughter from his classmates. This made him very upset. Shy and reserved. Jack chose to fade into the background rather than draw attention to himself. He felt like an outsider, never quite fitting in. Jack was eager to exchange ideas with his classmates, but afraid of getting into trouble. Jack's science teacher, Katherine, a warm and caring woman often wearing a smile, noticed Jack's stutter and shyness. She observed how Jack struggled to express himself in class and how he would shy away when called upon to speak. Determined to lend a hand, Katherine took Jack under her wing, encouraging him to embrace bravery and believe in his own abilities. Subsequently, Katherine adopted a set of systematic methods to help him. She was glad to find the potential in him, the intelligence and creativity that lay hidden beneath his stutter. Whenever possible, Katherine was always ready to praise his efforts, always declaring, "You are so great!” Whenever Jack stumbled over his words, Katherine always smiled at him encouragingly, providing him with the strength to continue. Day by day, Jack found himself speaking with greater confidence and fluency. One day, Katherine announced that each student should give a presentation of a science project in front of the class. Jack's heart sank, the familiar fear and anxiety wrapping around him. How could he possibly stand before his classmates to give his ideas clearly, knowing that they would laugh at him? As the presentation drew near, Jack's anxiety mounted. Then came the big day. He watched his classmates take turns to walk up to the front. They gave their presentation with confidence and backed to their seats with satisfaction. However, while Jack was waiting for his turn, his heart beat so violently that he felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: It was finally his turn. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When Jack finished his presentation, the room erupted into applause. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 武汉六中2024-2025学年度高一下学期第1次月考 英语试题 考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，请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。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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Why are the oranges cheap?

His famous customers didn’t know John’s secret but they notice he rarely answered the phone. That’s because if he did, he might need to check the appointment book or write something down. And that was a problem because John was unable to read. John grew up in a poor area. At school he was in the worst class. He tried to hide his reading problem as well as he could. At 16, he took a job at a hair shop. He went to school in the evenings to learn how to cut hair and he won prizes for his skill later. Then he was offered a job at a high class shop and there he met his wife Heather. She became one of the few people who knew John’s secret. She helped him when reading was required. Aged 25, John successfully open the shop where he would stay for 35 years, but he still has the reading problem. At restaurants, he couldn’t read the menu 8 years ago. John’s wife died after 50 years of marriage. Without her help, John decided to try again to learn. He joined a group that uses volunteers to teach adults. John now reads newspapers like Daily Mirror and Daily Mail, because the Times is too difficult. John says there’s a shortage of volunteers to teach reading. How does he know? He read it in a newspaper. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分 第一节（共15小题；每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Welcome to our guide of the Best Movies of 2024, featuring every Certified Fresh movie as they come in week by week!

The air was thick and warm, and by the time my dad and I reached the cove, which we called a swimming palace, my clothes were damp and itchy on my skin. Dad swam nearby a cove, diving into a splash of front crawl, heading out toward the edge of our narrow bay. Overwhelmed, suddenly, with envy, I did what I hadn’t done in years: I held my breath and pulled my own head underwater. There suspended beneath the glimmering surface, I remembered it all. My love of diving, swimming, rivers and lakes. I felt the cold ocean’s press on my cheeks and my eyelids, and knew what it was like again: to be free and fully present in my own skin. Though I’ve always loved the water, I had spent seven years prior to that day staying away from moments like this one. I was afraid. Struggling for a long time with chronic acne and unhelpful treatments, and the pressures of teenage girls’appearance, I had become entirely reliant on my makeup. I needed total control over how I looked, and going swimming meant washing this control away. My bare face and natural appearance were not something I identified with. I hated it, deeply, though I wished more than anything that I didn’t. But those 10 minutes of contentment I floated within — the muffled quiet of the underwater world—were fuel for the next chapter of my life. This would be my yardstick. Suddenly, it didn’t matter how I did it. Whether through medication or mental attitude, I would find a way to have the kind of life that allowed me to dive into the water whenever it called. That day was the beginning of a slow but determined journey back to my own body — a slow unlearning of my deep self-consciousness. Life didn’t change in a heartbeat: I returned to the shore with all the same fears, but I clothed myself in a new determination to change things. I felt the tide turn. Reflecting on this moment again today, it seems strange to think that going bare-faced on an empty beach was such a challenge. But this is exactly the perspective I had once dreamed of reaching. I do my best never to take for granted this freedom I have found. To pay attention, each time I sink under the surface of the water, embracing that swell of fear and joy and liberation. 24. What did the author realize during her underwater moment? A. She wanted to become a professional swimmer. B. She needed to find a way to control her appearance better. C. She missed the freedom and joy of diving and swimming. D. She decided to avoid swimming forever. 25. The author avoided swimming for seven years because ________. A. She had no access to the cove. B. She had to receive treatments. C. She hated to reapply her makeup. D. She felt insecure without makeup. 26. How did the author feel after she returned from the diving? A. Hesitant. B. Resolved. C. Proud. D. Joyful. 27. What can be inferred from Paragraph 5? A. You can’t judge a book by its cover. B. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. C. Self-acceptance is the greatest gift. D. Nothing is difficult to a willing heart. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位女性因青少年时期的容貌焦虑而多年避免游泳，直到某次海边潜水的经历让她重拾对水的喜爱，并开始逐步克服自我意识过强的问题，学会接受真实的自己。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“There, suspended beneath the glimmering surface, I remembered it all. My love of diving, swimming, rivers and lakes. I felt the cold ocean’s press on my cheeks and my eyelids, and knew what it was like again: to be free and fully present in my own skin.(在那里，悬浮在波光粼粼的水面下，我想起了这一切。我对潜水、游泳、河流和湖泊的热爱。我感觉到冰冷的海水压在我的脸颊和眼睑上，又一次知道了那种感觉：自由自在，完全沉浸在自己的身体里。)”可知，作者在水下时意识到她怀念潜水和游泳带来的自由和快乐。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Though I’ve always loved the water, I had spent seven years prior to that day staying away from moments like this one. I was afraid. Struggling for a long time with chronic acne and unhelpful treatments, and the pressures of teenage girls’ appearance, I had become entirely reliant on my makeup. I needed total control over how I looked, and going swimming meant washing this control away. My bare face and natural appearance were not something I identified with. I hated it, deeply, though I wished more than anything that I didn’t.(虽然我一直热爱水，但在那一天之前的七年里，我一直远离这样的时刻。我很害怕。长期以来，我一直在与慢性痤疮和无效的治疗作斗争，以及承受着少女对外表的压力，我完全依赖于我的化妆品。我需要完全控制自己的外表，而游泳意味着洗掉这种控制。我不认同自己素颜和自然的样子。我深深地讨厌它，尽管我比任何事情都希望自己不讨厌。)”可知，作者七年不游泳是因为没有化妆让她感到没有安全感。故选D项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Life didn’t change in a heartbeat: I returned to the shore with all the same fears, but I clothed myself in a new determination to change things. I felt the tide turn.(生活不会在一瞬间改变：我带着同样的恐惧回到岸边，但我给自己披上了一种新的决心，要改变现状。我感觉到了转机。)”可知，作者潜水回来后是有决心的。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“That day was the beginning of a slow but determined journey back to my own body—a slow unlearning of my deep self-consciousness. Life didn’t change in a heartbeat: I returned to the shore with all the same fears, but I clothed myself in a new determination to change things. I felt the tide turn.(那一天是我缓慢但坚定地回归自我身体的开始 —— 慢慢摆脱我深深的自我意识。生活不会在一瞬间改变：我带着同样的恐惧回到岸边，但我给自己披上了一种新的决心，要改变现状。我感觉到了转机。)”可知，作者开始接受自己，意识到自我接纳是很重要的，这是她最大的收获。故选C项。 C Socrates declared that the unexamined life wasn’t worth living for a human being, implying that we should attempt to know ourselves, to think through our actions, choices, prejudices, and attitudes. But when it comes to thinking about our own happiness and what makes our lives go well, it really does seem that this reflective attitude can ruin our chances of finding what we seek. Perhaps it’s not surprising that we are better designed for engaging in other activities than reflecting on how best to achieve our own happiness and well-being. Doing things that enhance our growth in physical, social and intellectual areas tends to bring the reward of feeling good, and so stimulates us further to pursue those activities. Sitting around reflecting on what will make us happy is a lot less efficient than chasing the things that make us happy, and if we think too much, there is an opportunity cost — time that we could have spent in a worthwhile activity has gone while we were thinking deeply about the best way to develop. The philosopher David has written about the role of reflective thinking in sports. One of his observations is that while sportspeople need to think about the basic actions they are performing, it can be counterproductive to start thinking about the elements making up those actions. A footballer needs to think about kicking the ball low and hard to the left of the goalkeeper, but not to overthink the mechanics of the precise small movements of legs and feet that produce that outcome. If he or she does start this sort of thought process, it very often leads to a poorer shot. What’s needed is a kind of automatic response to the situation. Perhaps something similar is going on in our life. Those people who start detailed programs of self-development in various dimensions, focusing on diet, habits, exercise, mental activity, work output, and so on, are like the footballer thinking through the small muscle movements. Perhaps their well-meaning self-reflection on their own development and how they want to achieve it, is the very thing that will make a high level of development forever unobtainable for them. 28. What may cause an opportunity cost? A. Spending time on worthy activities. B. Joining in social meetings actively. C. Getting stuck in much self-reflection. D. Doing physical exercises efficiently. 29. Why does the author mention David’s observations? A. To praise a wise philosopher. B. To teach readers football skills. C. To cite a case of overthinking. D. To argue for reflective thinking. 30. What does the author suggest readers do to achieve their goals? A. Make a comprehensive plan. B. Adopt a direct approach. C. Think carefully before action. D. Attach importance to details. 31. What is a suitable title for this text? A. The Risk of Overthinking B. The Key to Well-being C. The Way to Think Reflectively D. The Method to Develop Yourself 【答案】28. C 29. C 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了过度思考带来的种种弊端，告诫我们不要过度思考。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Sitting around reflecting on what will make us happy is a lot less efficient than chasing the things that make us happy, and if we think too much, there is an opportunity cost — time that we could have spent in a worthwhile activity has gone while we were thinking deeply about the best way to develop. (坐下来思考什么能让我们快乐比追求让我们快乐的事情效率低得多，如果我们想得太多，就会有机会成本——我们本可以花在有价值的活动上的时间，而我们却在深入思考最好的发展方式)”可知，困于过度的自我反思会导致机会成本，故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“One of his observations is that while sportspeople need to think about the basic actions they are performing, it can be counterproductive to start thinking about the elements making up those actions. (他的一个观察是，虽然运动员需要思考他们正在执行的基本动作，但开始思考构成这些动作的元素可能会适得其反)”可推知，作者提到David的观察是为了举例说明过度思考的劣势。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段 “What’s needed is a kind of automatic response to the situation. (我们需要的是一种对情况的自动响应)”可知，作者建议读者采取一个直接的方法来达成目标。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段的“But when it comes to thinking about our own happiness and what makes our lives go well, it really does seem that this reflective attitude can ruin our chances of finding what we seek.(但是，当我们思考自己的幸福以及是什么让我们的生活变得美好时，这种反思的态度似乎真的会破坏我们找到我们所寻求的东西的机会)”以及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了过度思考带来的种种弊端，告诫我们不要过度思考。由此可知，A项“过度思考的风险”适合作为文章的标题。故选A。 D Tipping points, also known as critical transitions (转变), are mathematical cliff-edges influencing everything in our life. The financial crisis of 2007-09 is often described as one. So is the moment that covid-19 went global. Anyone can spot a tipping point after it’s been crossed. But it is extremely difficult to spot them before they happen. Computer scientists in China now show that artificial intelligence (AI) can help. In a recent study, the researchers accurately predicted the beginning of tipping points in complicated systems with the help of machine-learning algorithms (算法). It could help solve real-world problems, such as predicting floods and power failure. To simplify their calculations, the team reduced all such problems to ones taking place within a large network of interacting nodes (节点), the individual elements within a large system. In a financial system, for example, a node might represent a company. The team then designed two artificial neural (神经的) networks to analyze such systems. To train their model, the researchers firstly turned to simplified theoretical systems in which tipping points are known to occur. Once the model could predict these transitions, it was applied to the real-world problem of how tropical forests turn to savannah (稀树草原). This has happened many times on Earth, but the details remain mysterious. The researchers first analyzed the data from three central African regions in the past 20 years and identified the tipping points. They then wanted to see if training their algorithm on data from two of these regions could enable it to correctly predict a transition point in the third. It could. The team then asked the algorithm to identify the conditions that drove the shift. The answer was, as expected, down to annual rainfall. But the AI was able to go further. The AI detailed that a slight decrease in rainfall from 1, 800 mm to 1, 630 mm led to a minor 5% drop in tree cover, but a further decrease to 1, 620 mm caused a significant 30% drop. This would be a textbook critical transition. And by predicting it from the raw data, the researchers say they have broken new ground in this field. The team are now trying to discover what specific features the Al identifies to make these predictions which could help better predict everything from infectious outbreaks to the next stock market crash. 32. How did the team simplify the calculations? A. By limiting the problems within a large network. B. By focusing on the individual elements in a network. C. By transforming the problems into ones in a network. D. By reducing the number of problems in each network. 33. Why was the algorithm trained on data from two central African regions? A. To improve its ability of prediction. B. To check its analysis of the data. C. To perfect its solutions to problems. D. To test the accuracy of its prediction. 34. What breakthrough did the AI make in the study? A It revealed the idea that tipping points are predictable. B. It identified a critical transition point in the tree cover. C. It confirmed previous theories about rainfall and tree cover. D. It predicted the future expansion of savannahs in central Africa. 35. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage? A. The Analysis of Rainfall: AI and Tree Cover B. Spotting Tipping Points: A Big Challenge for AI C. Machine Learning: Predicting Critical Moment D. Critical Transitions: The Key to Making Predictions 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是中国计算机科学家如何利用人工智能技术（AI）来预测复杂系统中的临界点（或称为关键转折点），这些临界点对我们的生活有着重大影响。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“To simplify their calculations, the team reduced all such problems to ones taking place within a large network of interacting nodes (节点), the individual elements within a large system.(为了简化他们的计算，该团队将所有这些问题简化为发生在一个大型网络中相互作用的节点，即一个大系统中的单个元素。)”可知，研究小组通过将问题转化为网络中的问题来简化计算。故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The researchers first analyzed the data from three central African regions in the past 20 years and identified the tipping points. They then wanted to see if training their algorithm on data from two of these regions could enable it to correctly predict a transition point in the third. It could.(研究人员首先分析了过去20年中非三个地区的数据，并确定了引爆点。然后，他们想看看在其中两个区域的数据上训练他们的算法是否能使其正确预测第三个区域的过渡点。它可以。)”可知，算法要在两个中非地区的数据上进行训练是为了测试它预测的准确性。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The AI detailed that a slight decrease in rainfall from 1,800 mm to 1,630 mm led to a minor 5% drop in tree cover, but a further decrease to 1,620 mm caused a significant 30% drop. This would be a textbook critical transition.(人工智能详细说明，降雨量从1800毫米轻微减少到1630毫米，导致树木覆盖面积轻微下降5%，但进一步减少到1620毫米，导致树木覆盖面积显著下降30%。这将是一个教科书式的关键转变。)”可知，人工智能在研究中取得的突破是确定了树木覆盖的一个关键转折点。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“In a recent study, the researchers accurately predicted the beginning of tipping points in complicated systems with the help of machine-learning algorithms (算法).(在最近的一项研究中，研究人员在机器学习算法的帮助下，准确地预测了复杂系统中临界点的开始。)”可知，本文主要讲的是中国计算机科学家如何利用人工智能技术（AI）来预测复杂系统中的临界点（或称为关键转折点），这些临界点对我们的生活有着重大影响，因此最好的题目是C选项“Machine Learning: Predicting Critical Moment(机器学习：预测关键时刻)”。故选C。 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。 Boundaries are personal guidelines that define what is and isn’t okay in your interpersonal relationships. As everyone has different needs and comfort levels, they may appear different for each person. Having healthy boundaries may provide such benefits as avoiding burnout, boosting self-esteem and maintaining personal space. ____36____ After setting your boundaries, it’s helpful to review them on a regular basis to remain relevant to your life circumstances. ____37____ The way you set them reflects your attitude to taking responsibility in life. Taking the time to think about your wants and needs in different situations will help you understand how your values influence boundary-setting. Once you have made the list of your values, needs, and wants, use that knowledge to establish clear boundaries that respect yourself and those around you. Once you have identified your boundaries, it is important to communicate them effectively. ____38____ Express your ideas in an open and straightforward manner; speak up for yourself so that others can hear, understand and respect your needs. Additionally, take a step back if tensions arise during a conversation about setting boundaries. Allow yourself or the other person to cool down before restarting the conversation. ____39____ When learning how to set healthy boundaries, it is essential to learn how to say “no”. Saying “yes” to everything can lead to stress, burnout, and frustration. It is important to understand what you consider acceptable and unacceptable, setting limits that reflect those standards. ____40____ If the situation persists, remove yourself from it respectfully. You deserve more than surrounding yourself with people who don’t value your values. A. Honesty and respect play an essential key role in the process. B. Initially, you are supposed to identify your personal boundaries. C. When you feel that someone has crossed your boundaries, remind them. D. Therefore, setting healthy boundaries is of vital importance in social activities. E. Keep saying “no” to things you disapprove of helps to understand yourself better. F. This contributes to finding possible solutions to issues regarding boundary-setting. G. Pick up the conversation unless there appears another argument needed to be settled. 【答案】36. D 37. B 38. A 39.

He carried a secret burden: a stutter (口吃) that often brought about laughter from his classmates. This made him very upset. Shy and reserved. Jack chose to fade into the background rather than draw attention to himself. He felt like an outsider, never quite fitting in. Jack was eager to exchange ideas with his classmates, but afraid of getting into trouble. Jack's science teacher, Katherine, a warm and caring woman often wearing a smile, noticed Jack's stutter and shyness. She observed how Jack struggled to express himself in class and how he would shy away when called upon to speak. Determined to lend a hand, Katherine took Jack under her wing, encouraging him to embrace bravery and believe in his own abilities. Subsequently, Katherine adopted a set of systematic methods to help him. She was glad to find the potential in him, the intelligence and creativity that lay hidden beneath his stutter. Whenever possible, Katherine was always ready to praise his efforts, always declaring, "You are so great!” Whenever Jack stumbled over his words, Katherine always smiled at him encouragingly, providing him with the strength to continue. Day by day, Jack found himself speaking with greater confidence and fluency. One day, Katherine announced that each student should give a presentation of a science project in front of the class. Jack's heart sank, the familiar fear and anxiety wrapping around him. How could he possibly stand before his classmates to give his ideas clearly, knowing that they would laugh at him? As the presentation drew near, Jack's anxiety mounted. Then came the big day. He watched his classmates take turns to walk up to the front. They gave their presentation with confidence and backed to their seats with satisfaction. However, while Jack was waiting for his turn, his heart beat so violently that he felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: It was finally his turn _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When Jack finished his presentation, the room erupted into applause. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】It was finally his turn. Jack stood up slowly and edged towards the front, his hands trembling. His classmates looked on, ready to see what was in store for Jack. He stood there tongue-tied with his face turning pale. When he looked around the classroom, Katherine was just smiling at him encouragingly. So Jack took a deep breath and concentrated on his presentation. Words flowed from his lips, despite some pauses and repetitions. He even added gestures to better express himself. It seemed that confidence had found him. When Jack finished his presentation, the room erupted into applause. The applause washed over Jack, and with it came a wave of confidence. His grateful eyes met Katherine's, her smile now a symbol of his journey to self-assurance. No longer defined by his stutter, Jack felt a sense of belonging. His presentation wasn't just an assignment; it was a testament to his ability to overcome personal obstacles. As the room quieted, Jack returned to his seat, his heart lighter, knowing that he had made a lasting impression on his classmates and himself. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jack和他的科学老师Katherine之间的互动，以及Jack如何逐渐克服口吃、提升自信并赢得同学们掌声的过程。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“终于轮到他了。”以及第二段首句内容“Jack做完报告后，全场爆发出热烈的掌声。”可知，第一段可描写Jack克服内心的恐惧，完成了自己的科学报告。 ②由第二段首句内容“Jack做完报告后，全场爆发出热烈的掌声。”可知，第二段可描写Jack非常感激老师的鼓励，也克服了对口吃的恐惧。 2.续写线索：Jack是一名新生，他内心藏着一个秘密，那就是他口吃——为了不被同学们嘲笑，他将自己隐没起来——他的老师Katherine注意到了Jack，于是她经常帮助Jack鼓励Jack——随着时间的推移，Jack发现自己说话越来越有信心——一天，Katherine说所有学生都要在全体同学面前做一个科学项目的报告——Jack非常紧张，如坐针毡——终于轮到Jack，他鼓起勇气，开始了自己的科学汇报，当他看到自己的老师时，他信心倍增——Jack成功地完成了回报，得到了所有同学的称赞 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①专注于：concentrate on/focus on ②克服：overcome/get over ③返回：return/go back to 情绪类 ①鼓励地：encouragingly/ in an encouraging manner ②感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】【高分句型1】His classmates looked on, ready to see what was in store for Jack.（运用了what引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】When he looked around the classroom, Katherine was just smiling at him encouragingly.（运用了when引导的状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$2024学年第一学期浙南名校联盟高30月份联考第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。These oranges are so cheap.
