B I was born missing my left hand, yet I learned to adapt. One of my earliest memories is my father trying to teach me to tie my shoes. I gently pushed him aside and figured out a way to do it with one hand. My parents tried to make me feel ordinary, but the reality was inescapable. When I was 13, an age when kids are already very self-conscious, I remembered getting on the bus and one of the other kids stared just a little too long at my left arm. I felt a sudden urge to hide my hand. I had decided that if people knew about my missing hand, they would not want to be around me anymore. Making friends was challenging enough, but finding love was particularly discouraging. As I started dating,I made efforts to hide my difference. Eventually we’d reach a point in the relationship where I knew I had to tell the truth. I’d think over the “big reveal” and build it up in my mind for days. When I had gathered the courage, I let out my secret over the phone and hung up in a panic. Even when I received a call, I couldn’t face discussing it, relying on the answering machine. Everyone I shared this with — friend, co-worker or boyfriend — said kind things like, “You shouldn’t hide it.” or “It’s no big deal.” But their words didn’t matter to me. The only words that really mattered were the ones I was telling myself, that story of how I was unworthy of love. At 28, tired of hiding, I met someone special. For the first time, I allowed someone to really hold, look at, take pictures of, touch and love my limb— love me. That relationship ended after ten years, but I kept the self-love and compassion I learned from it. From that point on, I saw my difference as something unique and beautiful about me, something that should be shown, not hidden. 4. How did the author tie her shoes? A. By expecting quick success. B. By escaping from tying tries. C. By finding her own method. D. By benefiting from father’s aid. 5. How did the author feel after sharing her difference? A. Relieved. B. Unmoved. C. Unclear. D. Delighted. 6. What’s the author like after the ten-year relationship ended? A. She had a positive attitude. B. She hid her difference again. C. She became more dependent. D. She stopped making friends. 7. Which is the best title for the text? A. Dealing with Self-Consciousness B. The Role of Courage in Life C. Overcoming Social Prejudice D. The Acceptance of Uniqueness C Thirty years ago, while working on a right whale research project in the Bay of Fundy, Canada, I witnessed a remarkable sight. A male right whale with mud on its head, indicating it had been feeding at the bottom, came up to breathe and rest. Just before diving again, it let out a huge mass of poop(粪便). The water was filled with poop that looked like red floating bricks and had a strong, unpleasant smell. If it got on your clothes, you’d have to discard them as it couldn’t be washed out. This initial encounter later inspired me to conduct global search for whale poop, taking me from Iceland to Mexico, Alaska, and Hawaii. Right whale poop has a particularly strong and awful smell, but I’ve come to appreciate it. Whale poop provides valuable insights. It shows what whales eat, their hormones, if they’re ready to reproduce, how stressed they are, what’s in their gut(内脏), and their family tree. It also helps us assess the level of mercury and pollution in the ocean. This experience set the path for my research career. Two years after seeing whale poop for the first time, I took an ocean ecology class and learned about the biological pump. Phytoplankton(浮游植物)grows near the ocean surface and through the food chain, nutrients can sink to the deep sea. However, I realized that right whales, which feed at depth and poop at the surface, likely bring nutrients like iron and so on back up. This led to the concept of the “whale pump”, which does the opposite of the biological pump by pumping nutrients back to the surface. These nutrients can be absorbed by phytoplankton and flow through the ocean food chain. This is important because some people in Japan, Norway, and Iceland think whales eat “our fish” and cause fish numbers to drop. The whale pump shows that the relationship is more complex and that whales might actually increase fish populations. Whale poop not only helps us understand the present ocean but also gives us a look into the past when there were more whales. Restoring whales and their nutrient pathways could help make the ocean more diverse. 8. What does the underlined word “discard” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Abandon. B. Wash. C. Keep. D. Appreciate. 9. Why does the author appreciate whale poop? A. It provides a remarkable sight. B. It makes the author travel a lot. C. It looks like red floating bricks. D. It makes precious insights available. 10. What is the effect of the “whale pump”? A. Nutrients float to the surface. B. Fisheries experience a decline. C. The ocean food chain is threatened. D. The environment is polluted severely. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To describe the abnormal behavior of right whales. B. To explain the ecological importance of whale poop. C. To argue against the idea that whales harm fisheries. D. To discuss how we can understand the present ocean. D A Queensland University of Technology (QUT) research team has taken inspiration from the brains of insects and animals for more energy-efficient robotic navigation The research, led by Dr Hussaini, along with Professor Milford and Dr Fischer from the QUT Centre for Robotics, was published in IEEE Transactions on Robotics. They came up with a novel place recognition algorithm (算法) using Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs). “SNNs are artificial neural networks that imitate how biological brains process information using brief, separate signals, much like how neurons (神经元) in animal brains communicate,” Dr Hussaini said. “These networks are particularly well-suited for neuromorphic hardware — specialized computer hardware that copies biological neural system — enabling faster processing and significantly reduced energy consumption.” Modern robots still struggle to navigate and operate in complex, unknown environments. They also often rely on AI-based navigation systems that need a lot of computing power and energy for training. Dr Fischer said, “Animals are really good at getting around in large, dynamic environments. They do it efficiently and reliably.” He thinks this research is a step closer to making navigation systems inspired by biology. These systems might one day be better than today’s conventional approaches. The system developed by the QUT team uses small neural network parts to recognize specific places from images. These parts were put together to make a group of spiking networks to create a navigation system that can learn to move around in large environments. “Using a series of images instead of single pictures enabled an improvement of 41 percent in place recognition accuracy, allowing the system to adapt to appearance changes over time and across different seasons and weather conditions,” Professor Milford said. “This research can help make more efficient and reliable navigation systems for autonomous robots in energy-limited environments. It’s especially good for things like space exploration and disaster recovery, where using energy well and being quick to respond are critical,” Dr Hussaini said. 12. What does the QUT research focus on? A. Testing artificial intelligence systems. B. Imitating AI-based navigation systems. C. Managing existing robotic navigation systems. D. Creating bio-inspired robotic navigation systems. 13. What is a key advantage of SNNs? A. Requiring low energy. B. Conducting object detection. C. Producing suitable hardware. D. Processing separate information. 14. What can be inferred about neural network parts? A. They analyze environmental sounds. B. They assess conventional approaches. C. They enable accurate place recognition. D. They measure different weather conditions. 15. What’s the last paragraph mainly about? A. The significance of the research. B. The advantage of the system. C. The efficiency of the navigation. D. The performance of the application. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly popular in children’s lives, from voice-activated assistants like Alexa to AI-powered homework help tools. ___16___ To help children balance the benefits of AI without nurturing dependency, here are some practical strategies: Frame AI as a supportive partner, not a solution. ___17___ If they’re working on an assignment, ask them to first attempt it independently. Once they’ve done their best, they can use AI to check their work or get additional insights. This way, they see AI as an aid in refining their ideas rather than as a replacement for their effort. ___18___ Mindful technology use involves curiosity about where information comes from. Encourage your child to ask questions like, “How did this answer come to me?” or “Is this information proven?” This not only builds critical thinking but also teaches them to assess AI-generated content with a healthy level of skepticism. Encourage creativity over convenience. When kids are working on creative projects, such as writing or artwork, suggest they use AI as a brainstorming tool. ___19___ However, they need to shape those ideas in their unique style. This approach helps them see AI as a springboard for their creativity, not a substitute for their own ideas. Set boundaries on AI use. Just as you set limits on screen time, establish boundaries for AI use. For example, decide that AI can be used for initial research. ___20___ These guidelines highlight that while AI is a valuable tool, it should not replace the learning process or independent thinking. By encouraging your children to view AI as a helpful resource rather than a crutch (依靠), you’ll promote their independence, creativity and critical thinking. A. Model responsible AI use. B. Teach them to question the source. C. However, do not use it to complete assignments. D. Encourage kids to view AI as a helper, not a shortcut. E. AI can be a great educational tool if used responsibly. F. For example, if they’re writing a story, they can ask AI for topic ideas. G. While these technologies can be incredibly useful, over-reliance can lead to problems. 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The Art of Friendship David Andrew, an art teacher, had just moved to California this summer.

The temperature was below zero so I rushed into the subway station, hoping to get warm. Warmth came to my body as I settled onto a bench with a cup of hot coffee. Now I was ready to relax and do some serious people-watching. I noticed a homeless man seated nearby. The pleasant smell of delicious food from the subway food court(美食广场) was attracting me to consider an early dinner. From the longing look in my neighbor’s eyes, it was obvious that he, too, noticed the good smell. I wondered how long it had been since he had eaten anything, expecting he would approach me for some food. But he never did. My head and heart were battling it out: the former telling me to mind my own business, and the latter urging me to make an immediate trip to the food court for him. While this inner debate was fierce, a well-dressed young couple suddenly approached. “Excuse me, sir,” began the husband. “We just finished eating and our appetite wasn’t as big as we thought. We hate to waste food. Can you help us out and put this to good use?” The kind stranger handed a large container with food. “Thank you.” came the grateful reply. Feeling good about what I had seen, but disappointed by my own lack of action, I observed my neighbor’s response to his sudden good fortune. He lifted the soup, cupping his hands around the steaming bowl. It was obvious that he was going to enjoy this miracle meal. He opened mouth and suddenly, he stopped. The reason for this unexpected behavior soon became clear. Entering the hall was a new arrival, in his seventies, without a hat and gloves. His lightweight jacket was a poor protection against cold. His face and hands were red and damaged. People around focused on him with pity and whispered at this sad sight. 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。 My neighbor was the only one taking action ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went to buy food from the food court with tears welling up in my eyes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 福州三中2024-2025学年高三第十二次质量检测 英语试卷 试卷满分：150分 考试时间：120分钟 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分20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。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，你将有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.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章推荐了四个适合冬季避寒的旅游目的地，分别介绍了墨西哥、南非、葡萄牙和智利的冬季特色与景点。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据South Africa部分的“South Africa is another great winter escape, especially if you’re open to enduring a longer flight away from home. The Western Cape, in particular, is known for its beautiful beaches and mild temperatures.(南非是另一个冬季逃避寒冷的好去处，尤其是如果你不介意忍受较长的飞行时间离开家。特别是西开普省，以其美丽的海滩和温和的温度而闻名)”可知，西开普省的优势在于美丽的海滩和温和的气候，故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Mexico部分的“Mexico is a great destination for winter sun.(墨西哥是冬季阳光旅行的绝佳目的地)”、South Africa部分的“South Africa is another great winter escape, especially if you’re open to enduring a longer flight away from home. The Western Cape, in particular, is known for its beautiful beaches and mild temperatures(南非是另一个冬季逃避寒冷的好去处，尤其是如果你不介意忍受较长的飞行时间离开家。特别是西开普省，以其美丽的海滩和温和的温度而闻名)”、Portugal部分“This country has so much to offer travelers in the colder months, from beautiful mountain ranges to sunny days on the beach (在寒冷的月份，这个国家（葡萄牙）为旅行者提供了丰富的选择，从美丽的山脉到阳光明媚的海滩)”以及Chile部分的“December to March is summer in the Southern Hemisphere(半球), and Chile is bathing in sunshine!(在南半球，12月到3月是夏季，而智利正沐浴在阳光下)”可知，四个目的地都是本文推荐的冬季旅行的目的地，且气候温暖。故选C项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“If you dislike cold weather, don’t worry. Here are some recommended destinations.( 如果你不喜欢寒冷的天气，别担心。这里有一些推荐的目的地)”以及“Mexico”部分的“Mexico is a great destination for winter sun(墨西哥是冬季阳光旅行的绝佳目的地)”、“South Africa”部分的“South Africa is another great winter escape, especially if you’re open to enduring a longer flight away from home. The Western Cape, in particular, is known for its beautiful beaches and mild temperatures(南非是另一个冬季逃避寒冷的好去处，尤其是如果你不介意忍受较长的飞行时间离开家。特别是西开普省，以其美丽的海滩和温和的温度而闻名)”等，可知文章围绕冬季旅游目的地推荐展开，包含景点特色、气候等信息，主要介绍了四个适合冬季前往的旅游目的地及其特色，所以很可能出自旅游杂志，故选C项。 B I was born missing my left hand, yet I learned to adapt.

The only words that really mattered were the ones I was telling myself, that story of how I was unworthy of love. At 28, tired of hiding, I met someone special. For the first time, I allowed someone to really hold, look at, take pictures of, touch and love my limb— love me. That relationship ended after ten years, but I kept the self-love and compassion I learned from it. From that point on, I saw my difference as something unique and beautiful about me, something that should be shown, not hidden. 4. How did the author tie her shoes? A. By expecting quick success. B. By escaping from tying tries. C. By finding her own method. D. By benefiting from father’s aid. 5. How did the author feel after sharing her difference? A. Relieved. B. Unmoved. C. Unclear. D. Delighted. 6. What’s the author like after the ten-year relationship ended? A. She had a positive attitude. B. She hid her difference again. C. She became more dependent. D. She stopped making friends. 7. Which is the best title for the text? A. Dealing with Self-Consciousness B. The Role of Courage in Life C. Overcoming Social Prejudice D.

A male right whale with mud on its head, indicating it had been feeding at the bottom, came up to breathe and rest. Just before diving again, it let out a huge mass of poop(粪便). The water was filled with poop that looked like red floating bricks and had a strong, unpleasant smell. If it got on your clothes, you’d have to discard them as it couldn’t be washed out. This initial encounter later inspired me to conduct global search for whale poop, taking me from Iceland to Mexico, Alaska, and Hawaii. Right whale poop has a particularly strong and awful smell, but I’ve come to appreciate it. Whale poop provides valuable insights. It shows what whales eat, their hormones, if they’re ready to reproduce, how stressed they are, what’s in their gut(内脏), and their family tree. It also helps us assess the level of mercury and pollution in the ocean. This experience set the path for my research career. Two years after seeing whale poop for the first time, I took an ocean ecology class and learned about the biological pump. Phytoplankton(浮游植物)grows near the ocean surface and through the food chain, nutrients can sink to the deep sea. However, I realized that right whales, which feed at depth and poop at the surface, likely bring nutrients like iron and so on back up. This led to the concept of the “whale pump”, which does the opposite of the biological pump by pumping nutrients back to the surface. These nutrients can be absorbed by phytoplankton and flow through the ocean food chain. This is important because some people in Japan, Norway, and Iceland think whales eat “our fish” and cause fish numbers to drop. The whale pump shows that the relationship is more complex and that whales might actually increase fish populations. Whale poop not only helps us understand the present ocean but also gives us a look into the past when there were more whales. Restoring whales and their nutrient pathways could help make the ocean more diverse. 8. What does the underlined word “discard” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Abandon. B. Wash. C. Keep. D. Appreciate. 9. Why does the author appreciate whale poop? A. It provides a remarkable sight. B. It makes the author travel a lot. C. It looks like red floating bricks. D. It makes precious insights available. 10. What is the effect of the “whale pump”? A. Nutrients float to the surface. B. Fisheries experience a decline. C. The ocean food chain is threatened. D. The environment is polluted severely. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To describe the abnormal behavior of right whales. B. To explain the ecological importance of whale poop. C. To argue against the idea that whales harm fisheries. D. To discuss how we can understand the present ocean. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11.

The research, led by Dr Hussaini, along with Professor Milford and Dr Fischer from the QUT Centre for Robotics, was published in IEEE Transactions on Robotics. They came up with a novel place recognition algorithm (算法) using Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs). “SNNs are artificial neural networks that imitate how biological brains process information using brief, separate signals, much like how neurons (神经元) in animal brains communicate,” Dr Hussaini said. “These networks are particularly well-suited for neuromorphic hardware — specialized computer hardware that copies biological neural system — enabling faster processing and significantly reduced energy consumption.” Modern robots still struggle to navigate and operate in complex, unknown environments. They also often rely on AI-based navigation systems that need a lot of computing power and energy for training. Dr Fischer said, “Animals are really good at getting around in large, dynamic environments. They do it efficiently and reliably.” He thinks this research is a step closer to making navigation systems inspired by biology. These systems might one day be better than today’s conventional approaches. The system developed by the QUT team uses small neural network parts to recognize specific places from images. These parts were put together to make a group of spiking networks to create a navigation system that can learn to move around in large environments. “Using a series of images instead of single pictures enabled an improvement of 41 percent in place recognition accuracy, allowing the system to adapt to appearance changes over time and across different seasons and weather conditions,” Professor Milford said. “This research can help make more efficient and reliable navigation systems for autonomous robots in energy-limited environments. It’s especially good for things like space exploration and disaster recovery, where using energy well and being quick to respond are critical,” Dr Hussaini said. 12. What does the QUT research focus on? A. Testing artificial intelligence systems. B. Imitating AI-based navigation systems. C. Managing existing robotic navigation systems. D. Creating bio-inspired robotic navigation systems. 13. What is a key advantage of SNNs? A. Requiring low energy. B. Conducting object detection. C. Producing suitable hardware. D. Processing separate information. 14. What can be inferred about neural network parts? A. They analyze environmental sounds. B. They assess conventional approaches. C. They enable accurate place recognition. D. They measure different weather conditions. 15. What’s the last paragraph mainly about? A. The significance of the research. B. The advantage of the system. C. The efficiency of the navigation. D. The performance of the application. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15.

The temperature was below zero so I rushed into the subway station, hoping to get warm. Warmth came to my body as I settled onto a bench with a cup of hot coffee. Now I was ready to relax and do some serious people-watching. I noticed a homeless man seated nearby. The pleasant smell of delicious food from the subway food court(美食广场) was attracting me to consider an early dinner. From the longing look in my neighbor’s eyes, it was obvious that he, too, noticed the good smell. I wondered how long it had been since he had eaten anything, expecting he would approach me for some food. But he never did. My head and heart were battling it out: the former telling me to mind my own business, and the latter urging me to make an immediate trip to the food court for him. While this inner debate was fierce, a well-dressed young couple suddenly approached. “Excuse me, sir,” began the husband. “We just finished eating and our appetite wasn’t as big as we thought. We hate to waste food. Can you help us out and put this to good use?” The kind stranger handed a large container with food. “Thank you.” came the grateful reply. Feeling good about what I had seen, but disappointed by my own lack of action, I observed my neighbor’s response to his sudden good fortune. He lifted the soup, cupping his hands around the steaming bowl. It was obvious that he was going to enjoy this miracle meal. He opened mouth and suddenly, he stopped. The reason for this unexpected behavior soon became clear. Entering the hall was a new arrival, in his seventies, without a hat and gloves. His lightweight jacket was a poor protection against cold. His face and hands were red and damaged. People around focused on him with pity and whispered at this sad sight. 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。 My neighbor was the only one taking action. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went to buy food from the food court, with tears welling up in my eyes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】My neighbor was the only one taking action. Quickly putting aside his miracle meal, my neighbour stood up and guided the elderly man to share his seat. Hardly had he seated himself when my neighbour tenderly put his jacket over the elderly man’s shoulders. He said with a smile, “Can you help out?”, passing the meal and placing the steaming cup of soup in his hands. The old man obviously was astonished, but he accepted it with gratitude. Seeing this, I was so ashamed of myself. At the moment, my head and heart stopped battling, determined to buy a meal for my neighbour. I went to buy food from the food court, with tears welling up in my eyes. What my neighbour said exactly spoke my mind. Despite a sense of guilt in my heart, I felt it was my job to do the same. After a while, I came back with steaming soup and a sandwich. I approached my neighbour respectfully, “Can you help me out?” I asked. “Why not?” He responded jokingly. People around cast admiring look on me, which made me relieved. It wasn’t until that day that I truly understand the meaning of sharing. I left the subway station, feeling warmer, even if the bitter cold wind filled the air. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在地铁站喝咖啡取暖时，注意到身边的流浪汉期待作者能施舍食物给他，但是作者很矛盾，感觉自己应该少管闲事，但又想帮助流浪汉，带他去美食广场。这时，一对年轻夫妇给了这位流浪汉热气腾腾的食物。流浪汉准备享受大餐，但突然他停了下来，因为他看到了一个七十多岁的看起来更可怜的人。 【详解】段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我旁边的人是唯一一个采取行动的人。”可知，第一段可描写流浪汉引导老人坐在座位上，并将自己的衣服和热汤给老人，作者停止挣扎，做出了决定。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我去美食广场买食物时，泪水模糊了我的视线。”可知，第二段可描写作者买了热汤和三明治给流浪汉和老人，流浪汉邀请作者一起吃三明治，作者学会了分享的意义，感受到温暖。 2.续写线索： 流浪汉引导老人坐下——流浪汉让老人穿上羽绒服，喝热汤——作者做出决定——作者买热汤和三明治——与流浪汉分享——作者学会分享的意义 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①放置：place/put ②决定：determine/decide ③接近：approach/draw near 情绪类 ①惊讶的：astonished/surprised ②感激：gratitude /appreciation 【点睛】【高分句型1】Seeing this, I was so ashamed of myself.（运用了现在分词作状语） 【高分句型2】People around cast admiring look on me, which made me relieved.（运用了强which引导的非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
