He says the honor is due to more than just brains. Instead, it was determination that made him an accomplished pianist. He says his biggest natural talent was drawing and he also has a love of art. But it was math that attracted him and he wouldn’t let go. He was studying how math may help control the spread of diseases. “I would sleep on the couch next to the computer,” he said. “I saw a gap in epidemiological (流行病学的) research in the study of how diseases spread. I didn’t know at the time that it would become one of the most important topics in the world.” While his work is timely and important, there’s lots of competition. Eleven other finalists from this region of the country are also vying for the honor. They attend schools like MIT, Stanford and the University of Chicago. Mercier owes it to his school that he can have as good a chance as any of the others and he feels that USF has prepared him well. If he doesn’t win the honor and get to study expense-free at Oxford, he says he’ll have many options. “I will continue to do the work that I enjoy and that I think will benefit people,” he said. Some are surprised that USF hasn’t had a previous Rhodes Scholar. However, many schools haven’t had one. Only 32 are selected each year from across the nation. USF has only been in existence since 1956. By contrast, the first classes at Oxford were held in 1096. 4. Why did Mercier choose to major in mathematics and microbiology? A He saw its bright future. B. He has a passion for math. C. He wants to win the honor. D. He is talented in this field. 5. Which expression can best replace the underlined phrase “vying for”? A. Hunting for. B. Applying for. C. Allowing for. D. Competing for. 6. What can we infer about Mercier? A. He will study art at Oxford. B. He tries to become a pianist. C. He is grateful to his school. D. He studies how diseases exist. 7. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. A senior could be USF’s first Rhodes Scholar. B. 32 students are selected for Rhodes Scholar. C. Math may help control the spread of diseases. D. A senior found the most vital topics in the world. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了在USF大学，21岁的亚历山大•梅塞尔来自敖德萨，主修数学和微生物学，这使他开始了重要的研究，这可能使他成为该校的第一位罗兹奖学金获得者。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“But it was math that attracted him and he wouldn't let go. He was studying how math may help control the spread of diseases.（但吸引他的是数学，他不肯放手。他正在研究数学如何帮助控制疾病的传播。）”可知，梅塞尔选择主修数学和微生物学，因为他热爱数学。故选B。 【5题详解】 猜测词义题。根据文章第四段“While his work is timely and important，there's lots of competition.Eleven other finalists from this region of the country are also vying for the honor.They attend schools like MIT,Stanford and the University of Chicago.（虽然他的工作是及时和重要的，但有很多竞争。来自该地区的其他11名决赛选手也在争夺这一荣誉。他们就读于麻省理工学院、斯坦福大学和芝加哥大学。）”可知，vying for的意思是“争夺”。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“If he doesn't win the honor and get to study expense-free at Oxford, he says he'll have many options.‘I will continue to do the work that I enjoy and that I think will benefit people,’ he said.（他说，如果他不能赢得荣誉，在牛津大学免费学习，他会有很多选择。“我将继续做我喜欢的工作，我认为这将有益于人们，”他说。）”可知，他感激他的学校。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“At USF，21-year-old Alexander Mercier of Odessa，majored in mathematics and microbiology，which leads him to start important research that may make him the school's first Rhodes Scholar.（在USF大学，21岁的亚历山大•梅塞尔来自敖德萨，主修数学和微生物学，这使他开始了重要的研究，这可能使他成为该校的第一位罗兹奖学金获得者。）”可知，本文的最佳标题是A senior could be USF's first Rhodes Scholar.（一位高年级学生可能成为USF第一位罗兹奖学金获得者）。故选A。 C Plants are vital to human survival, even when there’s no sunlight. But keeping your houseplants alive in window-less rooms or in shadowy corners can be a challenge. Luckily, there are ways to help your plants stay energetic, even when their sunny source of energy is limited. Grow lights provide an easy and accessible energy increase in dim or black spaces. These specialized beams (光线) have different features, colors, and prices. LEDs, for instance, are the cheapest and most energy-efficient option. While most devices stick to a warm white light, plants respond differently to various illuminating colors. Scientist Levine has made two creative experiments. Under gravity, red light worked well for the slim flowering plants Arabidopsis (拟南芥). But in the weightless environment, they stretched into funny shapes until he started adding blue lights. He eventually found a middle ground and put the plants in green light. If electricity is a limiting factor, you can try to reflect light with mirrors. Even brightening up your space with white decorations, like a light-colored tablecloth, will cast a little glow over your plants. While it’s not comparable to using a grow light or the sun, it could offer plants extra power. Some plants, including tomatoes, need more light than those like Arabidopsis; new seedling s need less light than fully-grow n plants. As you choose your seeds and seedlings, research their native ranges to learn how much sunshine they’d naturally get. Plants are finally adaptable. They can stretch their stems toward available light sources or produce extra chlorophyll (叶绿素), which absorbs available cold light. Even though they may not be getting all the light that they would like for optimum (最适宜的) growth, they’ll still grow. With only a little extra help, you and your plants can overcome the darkness. 8. What is the purpose of using grow lights? A. To change the color of the plants. B. To provide an energy boost in dim spaces. C. To create a decorative effect in the room. D. To help plants grow in weightless environments. 9 What did Levine discover about the effect of different light colors in experiments? A. Plants grew best under red lights without gravity. B. Blue lights caused plants to grow funny shapes. C. Green lights were the best choice for plants without gravity. D. Plants preferred warm white lights in all situations. 10. How can you help plants get extra energy without using electricity? A. By putting the metal in the soil. B. By adding more fertilizer to their soil. C. By decorating some reflective objects. D. By pouring some chemical liquid. 11. Who is the passage written for? A. Plant scientists and researchers. B. Indoor decorators and designers. C Farmers planning to grow crops in low-light conditions. D. Individuals looking to improve their indoor gardening skills. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了在缺乏阳光的环境中如何帮助植物生长。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Grow lights provide an easy and accessible energy increase in dim or black spaces.(在昏暗或黑暗的空间里，植物生长灯提供了一种容易获得的能量增加)”可知，植物生长灯可以在昏暗的环境中增加能量。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But in the weightless environment, they stretched into funny shapes until he started adding blue lights. He eventually found a middle ground and put the plants in green light.(但在失重环境下，它们会伸展成有趣的形状，直到他开始添加蓝光。他最终找到了一个中间地带，把这些植物置于绿光下)”可知，莱文最终发现在失重环境下，绿光对植物的生长效果最佳。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Even brightening up your space with white decorations, like a light-colored tablecloth, will cast a little glow over your plants. While it’s not comparable to using a grow light or the sun, it could offer plants extra power.(即使用白色的装饰来照亮你的空间，比如浅色的桌布，也会给你的植物带来一点光芒。虽然它不能与使用生长灯或太阳相比，但它可以为植物提供额外的能量)”可知，在室内装饰一些反光的物品可以使植物获得额外的能量。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Luckily, there are ways to help your plants stay energetic, even when their sunny source of energy is limited.(幸运的是，有一些方法可以帮助你的植物保持活力，即使它们的阳光能量来源有限)”以及文章最后一句“With only a little extra help, you and your plants can overcome the darkness.(只需要一点额外的帮助，你和你的植物就能克服黑暗)”可知，本文主要介绍了在缺乏阳光的环境下如何帮助植物生长，旨在帮助那些想要提高自己的室内园艺种植技能的人。故选D项。 D College and high-school teachers are expressing concern about ChatGPT, an AI program that allows people with limited writing skills to create high-quality texts. It calls into question how and why we teach writing at all. If AI can do a fairly good job at most writing tasks, why spend so much time learning writing in school? In fact, learning to write goes beyond just mastering grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure. It involves much more. For one thing, it’s about learning to turn a loose set of thoughts into a clear line of reasoning — a skill that is useful for everyone, not just those who enjoy writing or need to do a lot of it for work. Learning to write also trains your imagination to construct the person who will read your words. It puts you in relation to someone you may not know, someone who may even not exist. When you learn to write, you learn to meet their needs in an unfamiliar context. Even ordinary assignments teach students to predict what another person knows and expects. Writing is never simply self-expression. It’s expression to a specific audience for a specific purpose. In some cases, like a love letter, a writer knows their audience very well. In others, the audience is every bit a work of the imagination as a novel’s characters are. Writers, then, should give up trying to address the public at large, but should imagine that a friend, though not the closest friend, is listening to our talk. When this act of imagination is done well, a reader can feel deeply understood, as if a stranger has told them some previously unknown truth about themselves. That’s how I felt reading “Difference Maker” — an essay about parenthood. While our situations were unique, naming the problem provided a deeper understanding. It seems unavoidable that large-language models of AI will allow us to offload some of the writing tasks that students learn in school. But we can’t allow ourselves to lose the capacity to empathize (共情) with distant strangers at just the moment when we’re more able than ever to communicate with them. 12. What is teachers’ concern about ChatGPT? A. It’s a challenge to apply it to teaching. B. It’s hard to grade a paper written by it. C. It limits students’ imagination and creativity. D. It questions the necessity of teaching writing. 13. What does the author think of learning to write? A. It helps with logical thinking. B. It is a basic skill for everyone. C. It focuses on correct expression. D. It is closely related to social skills. 14. What makes writing effective according to the text? A. Expressing oneself. B. Targeting intended readers. C. Conveying imaginative ideas. D. Creating attractive characters. 15. What may be a suitable title for the text? A. What AI Can’t Teach the Writing Students B. ChatGPT Writing VS Traditional Writing C. Never Lose the Capacity for Empathy D. What Is the Future for AI Writing 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。虽然人工智能可以完成高水平的写作任务，但有些东西是它无法做到的，例如写作可以把一套松散的想法变成一条清晰的推理线，写作训练人们的想象力，针对不同的目标读者写作方式不同。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“If AI can do a fairly good job at most writing tasks, why spend so much time learning writing in school?(如果人工智能在大多数写作任务中都能做得相当好，那为什么要花那么多时间在学校学习写作呢？)”可知，关于ChatGPT，老师关注是它质疑教学写作的必要性。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“For one thing, it’s about learning to turn a loose set of thoughts into a clear line of reasoning — a skill that is useful for everyone, not just those who enjoy writing or need to do a lot of it for work.(首先，它是关于学习将一套松散的想法变成一条清晰的推理线——这是一项对每个人都有用的技能，而不仅仅是那些喜欢写作或需要为工作做很多事情的人)”可知，作者认为学习写作有助于逻辑思维。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Writing is never simply self-expression. It’s expression to a specific audience for a specific purpose.(写作从来不是简单的自我表达。它是为特定目的而对特定受众的表达)”可知，针对目标读者使写作有效。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第一段“College and high-school teachers are expressing concern about ChatGPT, an AI program that allows people with limited writing skills to create high-quality texts. It calls into question how and why we teach writing at all. If AI can do a fairly good job at most writing tasks, why spend so much time learning writing in school?(大学和高中教师对ChatGPT表达了担忧，这是一个人工智能程序，可以让写作技能有限的人创作高质量的文本。这引发了我们如何以及为什么要教写作的问题。如果人工智能在大多数写作任务中都能做得相当好，那为什么要花那么多时间在学校学习写作呢？)”可知，虽然人工智能可以完成高水平的写作任务，但有些东西是它无法做到的，例如写作可以把一套松散的想法变成一条清晰的推理线，写作训练人们的想象力，针对不同的目标读者写作方式不同。因此A选项“人工智能不能教给写作学生的东西”最符合文章标题。故选A。 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。 How to Start Your Research Group For those who live in the world of research, the notion (概念) of research as part of everyday life is a given. ____16____ If and when they decide to participate in research, the first question that is typically asked is “How do I get started?” With that, my research group offers some suggestions on how to get started with research. Don’t go solo (单干). ____17____ It can be even more challenging if you do not have an education or background in research methods. So why would one attempt to start alone? Combining energy and resources will help members get through the difficult periods. Talk about it. Once a partner or two have been brought together, it’s time to brainstorm. ____18____ Throw all ideas out and find common ground. Also, take note of each other’s skills and interests. For instance, when it comes time to assign responsibilities, it will be easy to identify who is better at taking the mimutes or who might like to try this task in the future. Follow up. Talk is all well and good, but in order to turn discussion items into action items, someone needs to make sure the group follows through. ____19____ They include a minute taker, an agenda creator, and a facilitator. ____20____ Do not be afraid to take an honest look at the characteristics of the team. A new team member may make progressing forward easier if they have a skill or expertise that others in the group do not possess. Add members to the group to share the load and responsibility, hopefully making the research process manageable and enjoyable. A. Do something. B. Invite diverse skill sets. C. This is precisely the ideal point. D. Thus, we recommend assigning roles at the beginning. E. Research can be discouraging at the mention of the word. F. Identify what each member may be interested in exploring. G. But for others, research is usually not included as part of their job duties. 【答案】16. G 17. E 18. F 19. D 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了如何开始研究小组的步骤和建议。 【16题详解】 根据上文“For those who live in the world of research, the notion of research as part of everyday life is a given.(对于那些生活在研究世界中的人来说，研究作为日常生活的一部分是理所当然的)”可知，选项与上文为转折关系，说明相反的一类人的情况。G选项“但是对于其他人来说，研究通常不包括在他们的工作职责中”切题。故选G。 【17题详解】 根据下文“It can be even more challenging if you do not have an education or background in research methods.(如果你没有研究方法的背景或教育背景，可能会更具挑战性)可知，选项与下文为递进关系说明有些时候研究令人沮丧。E选项“提到这个词时可研究能会让人感到沮丧”切题，Discouraging呼应challenging。故选E。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Once a partner or two have been brought together, it's time to brainstorm.(一旦一两个合作伙伴聚集在一起，就该进行头脑风暴了)”以及下文“Throw all ideas out and find common ground. Also, take note of each other’s skills and interests.(抛出所有的想法并找到共同点。同时，注意彼此的技能和兴趣)”可知，选项承接上下文说明要大家都感兴趣的内容。故F选项“确定每个成员可能有兴趣探索的内容”切题。故选F项。 【19题详解】 根据下文“They include a minute taker, an agenda creator, and a facilitator.(他们包括记录员、议程创建者和协调员)可知，下文在说明角色的内容，所以选项引起下文关于角色的分配问题。故D选项“因此，我们建议在一开始就分配角色”切题。故选D。 【20题详解】 根据下文“A new team member may make progressing forward easier if they have a skill or expertise that others in the group do not possess. Add members to the group to share the load and responsibility, hopefully making the research process manageable and enjoyable.(如果一个新成员拥有团队中其他人所不具备的技能或专业知识，他可能会使团队更容易前进。在小组中增加成员来分担负担和责任，希望能使研究过程易于管理和愉快)”可知，本段主要在说邀请多样化的技能组合。故B选项“邀请多样化的技能组合”切题，为本段的标题。故选B项。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（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和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Kashif Hoda was waiting for a train when a young man asked him for directions.

Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right. The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing.” Grandma nodded. I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market. Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer. However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent(有能力的)computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.” I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts(零件)for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century. 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。 Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I could be someone who was really competent. “I can definitely help with that! Where are the parts?” Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts. Rolling up my sleeves, I carefully connected everything. It was a piece of cake to me. “Done!” I announced confidently. After a few adjustments, the internet was up and running. Now it was time to sell the roses. I decided to start from my social media platform. I quickly uploaded photos, added descriptions, and set prices. Before long, notifications started showing up — people were noticing. My abilities made a difference!(96词) Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. “This is amazing, Jude!” Grandma cheered with joy as she began bustling about, packing flowers. Mr. Jackson chuckled warmly as he handed me another bunch to label. The energy was electric — everyone was on their feet, moving quickly to keep up with the growing orders. The farm felt alive, and so did I. To our surprise, the roses sold out in just half a day. “You’ve brought the farm into the twenty-first century, Jude,” Grandma hugged me tightly. I realized that being competent wasn’t about avoiding mistakes. It was about facing them head-on and making the most of my strengths.(100词) 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了暑假爸爸带Jude去奶奶的农场，但Jude去年在农场时因忘记锁门，导致山羊进了奶奶邻居Jackson先生的花田，最后毁了所有的玫瑰花，现在Jackson回到农场感到紧张，Jude在Jackson先生来找奶奶帮忙时试图躲避，Jackson却很高兴见到他并说去年只是一次意外，奶奶询问擅长电脑的Jude是否能帮忙在网上卖玫瑰花。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“也许我可以成为一个真正有能力的人。”可知，第一段可描写Jude组装电脑并开始在网上卖玫瑰花。 ②由第二段首句内容“几个小时内，订购玫瑰的订单如潮水般涌来。”可知，第二段可描写玫瑰花很快被卖完以及Jude的感悟。 2.续写线索：组装电脑——开始在网上售卖——接到大量订单——大家为订单忙碌——玫瑰花售空——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①宣布：announce/declare ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③意识到：realize/be aware 情绪类 ①喜悦：joy/delight/happiness ②惊讶：surprise/astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型1] Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts.（由关系副词where引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] Mr. Jackson chuckled warmly as he handed me another bunch to label.（由从属连词as引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 南宁二中2024-2025学年度下学期高一3月月考 英语 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。 例: How much is the shirt?

B TAMPA, Fla,—At USF, 21-year-old Alexander Mercier of Odessa, majored in mathematics and microbiology, which leads him to start important research that may make him the school’s first Rhodes Scholar. “I would say I am stubborn,” explained Mercier, who could hear as early as Saturday if he gets the honor. He says the honor is due to more than just brains. Instead, it was determination that made him an accomplished pianist. He says his biggest natural talent was drawing and he also has a love of art. But it was math that attracted him and he wouldn’t let go. He was studying how math may help control the spread of diseases. “I would sleep on the couch next to the computer,” he said. “I saw a gap in epidemiological (流行病学的) research in the study of how diseases spread. I didn’t know at the time that it would become one of the most important topics in the world.” While his work is timely and important, there’s lots of competition. Eleven other finalists from this region of the country are also vying for the honor. They attend schools like MIT, Stanford and the University of Chicago. Mercier owes it to his school that he can have as good a chance as any of the others and he feels that USF has prepared him well. If he doesn’t win the honor and get to study expense-free at Oxford, he says he’ll have many options. “I will continue to do the work that I enjoy and that I think will benefit people,” he said. Some are surprised that USF hasn’t had a previous Rhodes Scholar. However, many schools haven’t had one. Only 32 are selected each year from across the nation. USF has only been in existence since 1956. By contrast, the first classes at Oxford were held in 1096. 4. Why did Mercier choose to major in mathematics and microbiology? A. He saw its bright future. B. He has a passion for math. C. He wants to win the honor. D. He is talented in this field. 5. Which expression can best replace the underlined phrase “vying for”? A. Hunting for. B. Applying for. C. Allowing for. D. Competing for. 6. What can we infer about Mercier? A. He will study art at Oxford. B. He tries to become a pianist. C. He is grateful to his school. D. He studies how diseases exist. 7. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. A senior could be USF’s first Rhodes Scholar. B. 32 students are selected for Rhodes Scholar. C. Math may help control the spread of diseases. D. A senior found the most vital topics in the world. C Plants are vital to human survival, even when there’s no sunlight. But keeping your houseplants alive in window-less rooms or in shadowy corners can be a challenge. Luckily, there are ways to help your plants stay energetic, even when their sunny source of energy is limited. Grow lights provide an easy and accessible energy increase in dim or black spaces. These specialized beams (光线) have different features, colors, and prices. LEDs, for instance, are the cheapest and most energy-efficient option. While most devices stick to a warm white light, plants respond differently to various illuminating colors. Scientist Levine has made two creative experiments. Under gravity, red light worked well for the slim flowering plants Arabidopsis (拟南芥). But in the weightless environment, they stretched into funny shapes until he started adding blue lights. He eventually found a middle ground and put the plants in green light. If electricity is a limiting factor, you can try to reflect light with mirrors. Even brightening up your space with white decorations, like a light-colored tablecloth, will cast a little glow over your plants. While it’s not comparable to using a grow light or the sun, it could offer plants extra power. Some plants, including tomatoes, need more light than those like Arabidopsis; new seedling s need less light than fully-grow n plants. As you choose your seeds and seedlings, research their native ranges to learn how much sunshine they’d naturally get. Plants are finally adaptable. They can stretch their stems toward available light sources or produce extra chlorophyll (叶绿素), which absorbs available cold light. Even though they may not be getting all the light that they would like for optimum (最适宜的) growth, they’ll still grow. With only a little extra help, you and your plants can overcome the darkness. 8 What is the purpose of using grow lights? A. To change the color of the plants. B. To provide an energy boost in dim spaces. C. To create a decorative effect in the room. D. To help plants grow in weightless environments. 9. What did Levine discover about the effect of different light colors in experiments? A. Plants grew best under red lights without gravity. B. Blue lights caused plants to grow funny shapes. C. Green lights were the best choice for plants without gravity. D. Plants preferred warm white lights in all situations. 10. How can you help plants get extra energy without using electricity? A. By putting the metal in the soil. B. By adding more fertilizer to their soil. C. By decorating some reflective objects. D. By pouring some chemical liquid. 11. Who is the passage written for? A. Plant scientists and researchers. B. Indoor decorators and designers. C. Farmers planning to grow crops in low-light conditions. D. Individuals looking to improve their indoor gardening skills. D College and high-school teachers are expressing concern about ChatGPT, an AI program that allows people with limited writing skills to create high-quality texts. It calls into question how and why we teach writing at all. If AI can do a fairly good job at most writing tasks, why spend so much time learning writing in school? In fact, learning to write goes beyond just mastering grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure. It involves much more. For one thing, it’s about learning to turn a loose set of thoughts into a clear line of reasoning — a skill that is useful for everyone, not just those who enjoy writing or need to do a lot of it for work. Learning to write also trains your imagination to construct the person who will read your words. It puts you in relation to someone you may not know, someone who may even not exist. When you learn to write, you learn to meet their needs in an unfamiliar context. Even ordinary assignments teach students to predict what another person knows and expects. Writing is never simply self-expression. It’s expression to a specific audience for a specific purpose. In some cases, like a love letter, a writer knows their audience very well. In others, the audience is every bit a work of the imagination as a novel’s characters are. Writers, then, should give up trying to address the public at large, but should imagine that a friend, though not the closest friend, is listening to our talk. When this act of imagination is done well, a reader can feel deeply understood, as if a stranger has told them some previously unknown truth about themselves. That’s how I felt reading “Difference Maker” — an essay about parenthood. While our situations were unique, naming the problem provided a deeper understanding. It seems unavoidable that large-language models of AI will allow us to offload some of the writing tasks that students learn in school.

Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right. The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing.” Grandma nodded. I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market. Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer. However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent(有能力的)computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.” I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts(零件)for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century. 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。 Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
