Access to a master’s degree. 3. Where is this article most likely to come from? A. An advertisement. B. A scientific report. C. A magazine on workplace. D. An academic journal B English-language editions of two entertaining and insightful novels, Cat Country and Mr Ma and Son, written by one of China’s most accomplished novelists, Lao She, will soon be on bookshelves around the country. Cat Country, arguably China’s first venture into the field of science fiction, centers around a space traveler from China who crash-lands on an alien planet, where he discovers a country inhabited entirely by Cat People. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and literary critic Ian Johnson says in the book’s introduction, Lao She stretches himself further than ever, producing one of the most remarkable, complicated and insightful novels of modern China. The sarcastic humor and metaphorical writing are believed to be influenced by the author’s early experiences in London. Lao She taught Chinese at the University of London’s School of Oriental Studies from 1924 to 1929,a time when the British still viewed China and the Chinese with strong mixture of distrust, dismissiveness, guilt and fear after two opium wars and the Boxer Rebellion(1900). It was there that he began his career as a writer of patriotic but complex fictions about contemporary China, writes University of London’s senior Chinese literature lecturer Julia Lovell in the introduction of Mr. Ma and Son, who calls it “the first Chinese novel to face directly British racism toward China”. Based on Lao She’s London experiences, the novel displays the Mas’ attempts to deal with the deeply rooted cultural misconceptions by 1920s English society after they move there to run an antiques shop. As they go about building their new lives in London and striving to maintain a sense of cultural self, their own relationships are tested. “We felt that these two books offer a fascinating insight into how he works and thinks, exploring China’s place in the world and China’s self-image through evocative and beautiful writing that is as relevant today as it was when it was first written in the 1930s,” says Jo Lusby, managing director of Penguin China. 4. What does Cat Country stand as in China’s science fiction? A. A peak. B. A turning point. C. A pioneer. D. A miracle. 5. What did Lao She’s London experience contribute to? A. His teaching career at the University of London. B. His writing style. C. His sense of cultural misconceptions. D. The British distrust of Chinese people. 6. What message is mainly conveyed in Mr. Ma and Son according to the text? A. Business challenges. B. British racism toward China. C. Tight family bonds. D. Cross-cultural conflicts. 7. In Jo Lusby’s eyes, the two books ______. A. provide an angle to look into China’s identity B. establish Lao She’s status in literature C. deepen Lao She’s understanding of authoring D. highlight China’s social conflicts C We often find it hard to tear our eyes away from screens — an urge so intense that it messes with our focus and our cognitive health, which is known as “brain rot”. The Oxford Dictionary defines it as the degradation of mental state due to overconsumption of online content. It refers to the dull stuff on social media and its negative impact on brain health. “There’s an arms race to develop digital content and platforms that can grab people’s attention and compete in a digital market,” says Adam Leventhal, a professor at the University of Southern California. “Digital content and platforms that win the competition are increasingly addictive.” Dr. Leventhal adds, “They pull people into ‘digital addiction’ and expose consumers to unhealthy content.” Though not an official diagnosis “brain rot” can cause cognitive and emotional problems. “Too much screen time can negatively affect attention, concentration, learning, memory, emotional regulation, and social functioning,” Dr. Manwell says. “Brain rot” occurs as screen time replaces activities beneficial to the brain, such as exercise and socializing. Passive, rapid scrolling while multitasking or trying to work or study also contributes, resulting in reduced attentional resources and poorer learning and memory capabilities. Manwell says, “There are often also corresponding effects on the brain such as reduced gray matter and white matter, leading to damaged processing capacity and efficiency.” To fight against “brain rot”, changes can be made. Manwell suggests altering digital media habits, like taking screen breaks and limiting certain apps. There are apps to track screen time and guarantee digital detox. For long-term improvement, Manwell recommends replacing screen time with activities like meditation, exercise, and learning new skills. If screen use is work-related, find alternatives like printing materials or having in-person meetings. When on a screen, focus merely on the task to decline multitasking’s negative effects. Overall, being aware and making lifestyle adjustments can help prevent and reverse the impact of “brain rot”. 8. According to the text, what do we know about “brain rot”? A. A kind of serious disease officially diagnosed by doctors. B. The decline of mental well-being due to overconsuming online materials. C. The negative impact of overusing digital devices on physical health. D. The loss of cognitive abilities caused by using digital platforms. 9. What can we infer from Adam Leventhal’s words? A. People reading digital content on the platforms are becoming unhealthy. B. Digital platforms are developed to help people improve their mental health. C. The digital content that wins the attention competition is usually less addictive. D. The competition among digital content and platforms leads to some negative effects. 10 Which of the following is NOT a way to fight against “brain rot” according to Manwell? A. Using apps for monitoring the screen time. B. Having intervals away from the screen and restrict the use of some apps. C. Focusing on multiple tasks to maximize efficiency when using screen. D. Looking for alternatives like holding face to face meetings in work. 11. What is the main idea of the text? A. The harms and solutions of “brain rot”. B. The effect of addictive digital platforms. C. The importance of socializing in daily life. D. The impact of “brain rot” on digital device. D In a drawing room in rural Oxfordshire, an artist slowly and deliberately puts pen to paper. Her arm moves across the canvas, the marks gradually integrating into a portrait of herself. It seems like a moment of creative expression. But this is no ordinary artist — she is the world’s first humanoid robot artist, Ai-Da. By design, her very existence brings into question how we define art, and who, or in this case, what, can create it. Will AI algorithms (算法) and robots like Ai-Da mean the end of human creativity and artistry, or can they strengthen our own creative potential? When Marcel Duchamp proposed that a urinal (小便池) be considered art, he flipped the art world on its head. In much the same way, AI-created artworks are changing the standards of the art world, because both were controversial and contain objects that haven’t technically been created by an “artist’s” hand. Someone argues that a humanoid artist like Ai-Da represents society’s current fears — the rise of job-stealing AI algorithms and potential robot domination. But technological revolutions like artificial intelligence don’t necessarily mean the “end of art” as many fear. Instead, they can help to kickstart an artistic transformation and move us towards different ways of seeing and creating. “AI might kick us into being creative again as humans,” says mathematician Du Sautoy, who sees it as a powerful partner in the pursuit of human creativity. However, questions of authorship haunt the artificial intelligence story. Artists Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst co-founded Spawning AI, which aimed at empowering human creators to prohibit AI from using their works. But there are also artists who see AI as a new outlet for their own creativity. Some artists are now even training algorithms in an attempt to push their own creative boundaries. It’s clear that AI algorithms and machines like Ai-Da are having an impact on the art world. Their works are exhibited alongside more traditional forms of art worldwide. Next year we’ll see the world’s first AI art gallery open its doors in LA. Eva Jäger, the creative AI lead, is also helping to bring AI art to the masses, with a programme of exhibitions leading to critical discussion about the impact of technology on art. She sees the cooperation between human and machine as a space for real creative potential. 12. What does the phrase “flipped the art world on its head” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Dominated the art world. B. Overturned the art standards. C. Broadened artists’ horizons. D. Recognized artists’ wisdom. 13. What influence will Ai-Da generate on the art world according to Du Sautoy? A. It will increase the commercial value. B. It will replace human artists soon. C. It may boost human creativity. D. It may cause fears in artists. 14. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. Spawning AI helps human artists use AI works. B. Some artists train AI to work for them. C. AI art gallery will win over more visitors. D. Eva Jäger looks favorably to the future of AI. 15. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To argue that AI will eventually outperform human artists. B. To promote the idea that artworks created by AI lack value. C. To explore the impact of AI on art definition and creativity. D. To record the history of art movements and their significance. 第二节 阅读七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 When communicating with others, we often focus on what we should say. ____16____ Listening well means not just understanding the words or the information being communicated, but also understanding the emotions the speaker is trying to convey.

Every school day, I climbed those concrete steps to reach math class or my locker. A naughty and misbehaved guy called Tom and some of his followers would sit on the staircase, rating others on a scale of 1 to 10 by appearance as they passed by and laughed very loud, impolite, arrogant (自大的) and rude. Every time I walked up or down those stairs their laughter echoed in my ears. “Just ignore them,” my mother advised. And I did. On the surface. But inside the painful message that I was “ugly” stuck deep in my soul. Quite often, the staircase would appear in my nightmares. Eventually, I graduated, got admitted to the college, earned a degree in Communications, launched a rewarding career as a writer and teacher, got married, and raised two amazing boys. But when I looked in the mirror, the doubts returned, bearing a deep hatred against Tom, his followers and even the school. When I received an invitation to my twentieth high school reunion, my mother was puzzled as I didn’t like high school. But I wanted to go back to confront those boys. I wanted to tell them how hurtful and unkind they were and that I had all the things they’d made me feel I wasn’t worthy of. I practiced my speech in my mind as I ran errands (出门办事), cooked dinner, and exercised outdoors. Soon, the big day arrived. I put on my favorite blouse, touched up my make-up, and steeled myself for the coming Friday night, ready for the “fight”. 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。 However, at the reunion, what I experienced made me feel I really needed to forgive. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At this moment, the organizer read a letter from Tom, who was absent from the gathering. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 郑州外国语学校2024-2025学年高二下期第一次月考1试卷 英语 (120分钟，150分) 第一部分 听力(共两节，每小题1.5分，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，并标在试卷的相应位置。听每段对话前，你将有时间阅读各个小题，每小题5秒钟;听完后，各小题将给出5秒钟的作答时间。每段对话读一遍。 1.

Cat Country, arguably China’s first venture into the field of science fiction, centers around a space traveler from China who crash-lands on an alien planet, where he discovers a country inhabited entirely by Cat People. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and literary critic Ian Johnson says in the book’s introduction, Lao She stretches himself further than ever, producing one of the most remarkable, complicated and insightful novels of modern China. The sarcastic humor and metaphorical writing are believed to be influenced by the author’s early experiences in London. Lao She taught Chinese at the University of London’s School of Oriental Studies from 1924 to 1929,a time when the British still viewed China and the Chinese with strong mixture of distrust, dismissiveness, guilt and fear after two opium wars and the Boxer Rebellion(1900). It was there that he began his career as a writer of patriotic but complex fictions about contemporary China, writes University of London’s senior Chinese literature lecturer Julia Lovell in the introduction of Mr. Ma and Son, who calls it “the first Chinese novel to face directly British racism toward China”. Based on Lao She’s London experiences, the novel displays the Mas’ attempts to deal with the deeply rooted cultural misconceptions by 1920s English society after they move there to run an antiques shop. As they go about building their new lives in London and striving to maintain a sense of cultural self, their own relationships are tested. “We felt that these two books offer a fascinating insight into how he works and thinks, exploring China’s place in the world and China’s self-image through evocative and beautiful writing that is as relevant today as it was when it was first written in the 1930s,” says Jo Lusby, managing director of Penguin China. 4. What does Cat Country stand as in China’s science fiction? A. A peak. B. A turning point. C. A pioneer. D. A miracle. 5. What did Lao She’s London experience contribute to? A. His teaching career at the University of London. B. His writing style. C. His sense of cultural misconceptions. D. The British distrust of Chinese people. 6. What message is mainly conveyed in Mr. Ma and Son according to the text? A. Business challenges. B. British racism toward China. C. Tight family bonds. D. Cross-cultural conflicts. 7. In Jo Lusby’s eyes, the two books ______. A. provide an angle to look into China’s identity B. establish Lao She’s status in literature C. deepen Lao She’s understanding of authoring D. highlight China’s social conflicts 【答案】4 C 5. B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了中国著名作家老舍的两部小说《猫城记》和《二马》的英文版即将在全国书店上架，并通过引用多位评论家的观点以及书籍内容概述，对这两部作品进行了深入的介绍和评价。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Cat Country, arguably China’s first venture into the field of science fiction, centers around a space traveler from China who crash-lands on an alien planet, where he discovers a country inhabited entirely by Cat People.(《猫城记》可以说是中国在科幻领域的首次尝试，讲述的是一位来自中国的太空旅行者迫降在一个外星星球上的故事。在这个星球上，他发现了一个完全由猫人居住的国家。)”可知，《猫城记》可以说是中国在科幻领域的首次尝试，这里的“first venture”表明它是中国科幻领域的先驱、开端，与选项C“A pioneer（先驱）”意思相符。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The sarcastic humor and metaphorical writing are believed to be influenced by the late author’s early experiences in London.(人们认为，书中讽刺性的幽默和隐喻式的写作手法受到了这位已故作家早年在伦敦经历的影响。)”可知，老舍在伦敦的经历对他作品中讽刺性的幽默和隐喻式的写作手法产生了影响，即影响了他的写作风格。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Based on Lao She’s London experiences, the novel displays the Mas’ attempts to deal with the deeply rooted cultural misconceptions by 1920s English society after they move there to run an antiques shop.(以老舍在伦敦的经历为基础，这部小说展现了马家父子搬到伦敦经营一家古玩店后，努力应对20世纪20年代英国社会根深蒂固的文化误解的过程。)”可知，《二马》这部小说以老舍在伦敦的经历为基础，展示了马家父子搬到伦敦后，努力应对20世纪20年代英国社会根深蒂固的文化误解的过程，这体现了跨文化冲突。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““We felt that these two books offer a fascinating insight into how he works and thinks, exploring China’s place in the world and China’s self-image through evocative and beautiful writing that is as relevant today as it was when it was first written in the 1930s,” says Jo Lusby, managing director of Penguin China.(企鹅中国的董事总经理Jo Lusby表示：“我们认为，这两本书让人们得以深入了解老舍的创作方式和思维方式。他通过富有感染力且优美的文字，探讨了中国在世界上的地位以及中国的自我形象。这些文字在今天和20世纪30年代首次创作时一样具有现实意义。”)”可知，Jo Lusby认为这两本书通过富有感染力且优美的文字，为探究老舍的创作方式和思维方式提供了一个有趣的视角，同时也探讨了中国在世界上的地位以及中国的自我形象。也就是说这两本书提供了一个看待中国身份的角度。故选A。 C We often find it hard to tear our eyes away from screens — an urge so intense that it messes with our focus and our cognitive health, which is known as “brain rot”. The Oxford Dictionary defines it as the degradation of mental state due to overconsumption of online content. It refers to the dull stuff on social media and its negative impact on brain health. “There’s an arms race to develop digital content and platforms that can grab people’s attention and compete in a digital market” says Adam Leventhal, a professor at the University of Southern California. “Digital content and platforms that win the competition are increasingly addictive.” Dr. Leventhal adds, “They pull people into ‘digital addiction’ and expose consumers to unhealthy content.” Though not an official diagnosis, “brain rot” can cause cognitive and emotional problems. “Too much screen time can negatively affect attention, concentration, learning, memory, emotional regulation, and social functioning,” Dr. Manwell says. “Brain rot” occurs as screen time replaces activities beneficial to the brain, such as exercise and socializing. Passive, rapid scrolling while multitasking or trying to work or study also contributes, resulting in reduced attentional resources and poorer learning and memory capabilities. Manwell says, “There are often also corresponding effects on the brain such as reduced gray matter and white matter, leading to damaged processing capacity and efficiency.” To fight against “brain rot”, changes can be made. Manwell suggests altering digital media habits, like taking screen breaks and limiting certain apps. There are apps to track screen time and guarantee digital detox. For long-term improvement, Manwell recommends replacing screen time with activities like meditation, exercise, and learning new skills. If screen use is work-related, find alternatives like printing materials or having in-person meetings. When on a screen, focus merely on the task to decline multitasking’s negative effects. Overall, being aware and making lifestyle adjustments can help prevent and reverse the impact of “brain rot”. 8. According to the text, what do we know about “brain rot”? A. A kind of serious disease officially diagnosed by doctors. B. The decline of mental well-being due to overconsuming online materials. C. The negative impact of overusing digital devices on physical health. D. The loss of cognitive abilities caused by using digital platforms. 9. What can we infer from Adam Leventhal’s words? A. People reading digital content on the platforms are becoming unhealthy. B. Digital platforms are developed to help people improve their mental health. C. The digital content that wins the attention competition is usually less addictive. D. The competition among digital content and platforms leads to some negative effects. 10. Which of the following is NOT a way to fight against “brain rot” according to Manwell? A. Using apps for monitoring the screen time. B. Having intervals away from the screen and restrict the use of some apps. C. Focusing on multiple tasks to maximize efficiency when using screen. D. Looking for alternatives like holding face to face meetings in work. 11. What is the main idea of the text? A. The harms and solutions of “brain rot”. B. The effect of addictive digital platforms. C. The importance of socializing in daily life. D. The impact of “brain rot” on digital device. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“脑腐烂”的危害和解决方法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“We often find it hard to tear our eyes away from screens—an urge so intense that it messes with our focus and our cognitive health, which is known as “brain rot”. The Oxford Dictionary defines it as the degradation of mental state due to overconsumption of online content. It refers to the dull stuff on social media and its negative impact on brain health. (我们经常发现很难把眼睛从屏幕上移开——这种冲动如此强烈，以至于扰乱了我们的注意力和认知健康，这被称为“脑腐烂”。牛津词典将其定义为由于过度消费网络内容而导致的精神状态退化。它指的是社交媒体上的无聊内容及其对大脑健康的负面影响。)”可知，脑腐烂是指由于过度消费网络内容而导致的精神状态退化。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““Digital content and platforms that win the competition are increasingly addictive.” Dr. Leventhal adds, “They pull people into ‘digital addiction’ and expose consumers to unhealthy content.” (“赢得竞争的数字内容和平台越来越令人上瘾。”利文塔尔博士补充说：“它们让人们对‘数字上瘾’，让消费者接触不健康的内容。”)”可知，数字内容和平台之间的竞争导致人们上瘾，让消费者接触不健康的内容，即数字内容和平台之间的竞争导致了一些负面影响。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“To fight against “brain rot”, changes can be made. Manwell suggests altering digital media habits, like taking screen breaks and limiting certain apps. There are apps to track screen time and guarantee digital detox. For long-term improvement, Manwell recommends replacing screen time with activities like meditation, exercise, and learning new skills. If screen use is work-related, find alternatives like printing materials or having in-person meetings. When on a screen, focus merely on the task to decline multitasking’s negative effects. (为了对抗“脑腐烂”，可以做出改变。曼威尔建议改变使用数字媒体的习惯，比如暂停使用屏幕，限制使用某些应用程序。有一些应用程序可以跟踪屏幕时间，保证戒掉数字瘾。为了长期改善，曼威尔建议用冥想、锻炼和学习新技能等活动取代屏幕时间。如果使用屏幕是与工作相关的，那就找一些替代方法，比如打印材料或进行面对面的会议。当你看屏幕时，把注意力集中在任务上，以减少多任务处理的负面影响。)”可知，为了对抗脑腐烂，Manwell的建议包括：使用一些程序监控追踪屏幕时间，限制屏幕时间、休息和限制使用某些应用程序、将面对面会议作为替代方案。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The Oxford Dictionary defines it as the degradation of mental state due to overconsumption of online content. It refers to the dull stuff on social media and its negative impact on brain health. (牛津词典将其定义为由于过度消费网络内容而导致的精神状态退化。它指的是社交媒体上的无聊内容及其对大脑健康的负面影响。)”，第二段““There’s an arms race to develop digital content and platforms that can grab people’s attention and compete in a digital market,” says Adam Leventhal, a professor at the University of Southern California. (南加州大学（University of Southern California）教授亚当•利文塔尔（Adam Leventhal）表示：“在开发能够吸引人们注意力的数字内容和平台，并在数字市场上展开竞争方面，存在着一场军备竞赛。)”，第三段“Though not an official diagnosis, “brain rot” can cause cognitive and emotional problems. “Too much screen time can negatively affect attention, concentration, learning, memory, emotional regulation, and social functioning, (虽然不是官方诊断，但“脑腐烂”会导致认知和情绪问题。“看屏幕时间过长会对注意力、注意力、学习、记忆、情绪调节和社交功能产生负面影响，”曼威尔博士说。)”，最后一段“To fight against “brain rot”, changes can be made. Manwell suggests altering digital media habits (为了对抗“脑腐烂”，可以做出改变。曼威尔建议改变使用数字媒体的习惯)”可知，文章在第一段提出脑腐烂这一现象，第二段分析脑腐烂产生的原因，第三段分析脑腐烂产生的负面影响，最后一段提出对抗脑腐烂的建议，由此可知，这篇文章的主旨是讲述“脑腐烂”的危害和解决方法。故选A。 D In a drawing room in rural Oxfordshire, an artist slowly and deliberately puts pen to paper. Her arm moves across the canvas, the marks gradually integrating into a portrait of herself. It seems like a moment of creative expression. But this is no ordinary artist — she is the world’s first humanoid robot artist, Ai-Da. By design, her very existence brings into question how we define art, and who, or in this case, what, can create it. Will AI algorithms (算法) and robots like Ai-Da mean the end of human creativity and artistry, or can they strengthen our own creative potential? When Marcel Duchamp proposed that a urinal (小便池) be considered art, he flipped the art world on its head. In much the same way, AI-created artworks are changing the standards of the art world, because both were controversial and contain objects that haven’t technically been created by an “artist’s” hand. Someone argues that a humanoid artist like Ai-Da represents society’s current fears — the rise of job-stealing AI algorithms and potential robot domination. But technological revolutions like artificial intelligence don’t necessarily mean the “end of art” as many fear. Instead, they can help to kickstart an artistic transformation and move us towards different ways of seeing and creating. “AI might kick us into being creative again as humans,” says mathematician Du Sautoy, who sees it as a powerful partner in the pursuit of human creativity. However, questions of authorship haunt the artificial intelligence story. Artists Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst co-founded Spawning AI, which aimed at empowering human creators to prohibit AI from using their works. But there are also artists who see AI as a new outlet for their own creativity. Some artists are now even training algorithms in an attempt to push their own creative boundaries. It’s clear that AI algorithms and machines like Ai-Da are having an impact on the art world. Their works are exhibited alongside more traditional forms of art worldwide. Next year we’ll see the world’s first AI art gallery open its doors in LA. Eva Jäger, the creative AI lead, is also helping to bring AI art to the masses, with a programme of exhibitions leading to critical discussion about the impact of technology on art. She sees the cooperation between human and machine as a space for real creative potential. 12. What does the phrase “flipped the art world on its head” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Dominated the art world. B. Overturned the art standards. C. Broadened artists’ horizons. D. Recognized artists’ wisdom. 13. What influence will Ai-Da generate on the art world according to Du Sautoy? A. It will increase the commercial value. B. It will replace human artists soon. C. It may boost human creativity. D. It may cause fears in artists. 14 What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. Spawning AI helps human artists use AI works. B. Some artists train AI to work for them. C. AI art gallery will win over more visitors. D. Eva Jäger looks favorably to the future of AI. 15. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To argue that AI will eventually outperform human artists. B. To promote the idea that artworks created by AI lack value. C. To explore the impact of AI on art definition and creativity. D. To record the history of art movements and their significance. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍的是AI机器人艺术家Ai-Da对艺术界的影响及引发的关于创造力的新思考。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“In much the same way, AI-created artworks are changing the standards of the art world, because both were controversial and contain objects that haven’t technically been created by an“ artist’s” hand. (同样，人工智能创作的艺术品正在改变艺术界的标准，因为它们都是有争议的，而且包含的物品在技术上并不是由“艺术家”的手创作的)”可知，人工智能创作的艺术品正在改变艺术界的标准，结合“In much the same way”可知，此处指的是当马塞尔·杜尚提出将小便池视为艺术时，他彻底改变了艺术的标准，所以划线部分意思是“彻底改变了艺术的标准”符合语境。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Instead, they can help to kickstart an artistic transformation and move us towards different ways of seeing and creating. “AI might kick us into being creative again as humans,” says mathematician Du Sautoy, who sees it as a powerful partner in the pursuit of human creativity (相反，它们可以帮助启动艺术变革，推动我们走向不同的观看和创作方式。数学家杜·索托伊表示：“人工智能可能会让我们重新像人类一样具有创造力。”他认为人工智能是人类追求创造力的有力伙伴)”可知，Ai-Da可能会促进人类的创造力。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Next year we’ll see the world’s first AI art gallery open its doors in LA. Eva Jäger, the creative AI lead, is also helping to bring AI art to the masses, with a programme of exhibitions leading to critical discussion about the impact of technology on art. She sees the cooperation between human and machine as a space for real creative potential. (明年，我们将在洛杉矶见证世界上第一家AI艺术馆开馆。创意AI负责人伊娃·贾格尔正通过一系列展览将AI艺术带给大众，这些展览引发了关于技术对艺术影响的深刻讨论。她认为，人类与机器的合作是释放真正创造力的潜在空间)”可知，她觉得人与机器之间的合作是释放真正创造力的潜在空间。由此可知，Eva对AI的未来持积极态度。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“By design, her very existence brings into question how we define art, and who, or in this case, what, can create it. (通过设计，她的存在本身就引发了我们如何定义艺术以及谁，或者在这种情况下，什么可以创造艺术的问题)”以及下文介绍的AI在艺术领域的应用及其对艺术世界的影响可推知，作者写作的目的是探讨AI对艺术定义和创造力的影响。故选C。 第二节 阅读七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 When communicating with others, we often focus on what we should say. ____16____ Listening well means not just understanding the words or the information being communicated, but also understanding the emotions the speaker is trying to convey. The following are tips for becoming an active listener. Focus fully on the speaker. You can’t listen in an active way if you’re constantly checking your phone. ____17____ You need to stay focused on the moment-to-moment experience in order to pick up the important nonverbal cues in a conversation. If you find it hard to concentrate on some speakers, try repeating their words over in your head-it’ll reinforce their message and help you stay focused. Display your interest in what’s being said by using body language. Nod occasionally, smile at the person, and make sure your posture is open and inviting. ____18____ Avoid interrupting or trying to redirect the conversation to your concerns by saying something like, “you think that’s bad, let me tell you what happened to me.” ____19____ You can’t concentrate on what someone’s saying if you’re forming what you’re going to say next. Often, the speaker can read your facial expressions and know that your mind’s elsewhere. _____20_____ In order to communicate effectively with someone, you don’t have to like them or agree with their ideas, values or opinions. However, you do need to set aside your judgement and hold back blame and criticism in order to fully understand them. The most difficult communication, when successfully performed, can often lead to an unlikely connection with someone. A. Try to set aside judgement. B. Be aware of individual differences. C. It will make you feel more self-confident. D. Listening is not the same as waiting for your turn to talk. E. Encourage the speaker to continue with “yes”or “uh huh”. F. Thinking about something else also implies you are not an active listener. G. However, effective communication is less about talking and more about listening. 【答案】16. G 17. F 18. E 19. D 20. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍成为积极倾听者的一些技巧。 【16题详解】 由上文“When communicating with others, we often focus on what we should say. (在与他人交流时，我们经常把注意力集中在应该说什么上)”可知，交流时通常我们主要注重说，而G项However, effective communication is less about talking and more about listening.(然而，有效的沟通不是谈论，而是倾听)符合语境，其中However与上文形成转折关系，less about talking and more about listening与上文focus on what we should say形成对比。故选G项。 【17题详解】 由上文“Focus fully on the speaker. You can’t listen in an active way if you’re constantly checking your phone. (把注意力完全集中在说话者身上。如果你一直在检查手机，你就无法以积极的方式收听)”可知，这里主要讲看手机会让你无法集中注意力听说话者说什么。而F项Thinking about something else also implies you are not an active listener.(思考其它事情也意味着你不是一个积极的倾听者)符合语境，其中also有承上作用，本句说明另一种不是一个积极的倾听者的情况。故选F项。 【18题详解】 由上文“Display your interest in what’s being said by using body language. Nod occasionally, smile at the person, and make sure your posture is open and inviting. (用肢体语言表达你对所说内容的兴趣。偶尔点头，对对方微笑，并确保你的姿势是开放的和有吸引力的)”可知，这里主要讲用肢体语言表示对所说内容的兴趣，而E项Encourage the speaker to continue with “yes” or “uh huh”.(鼓励说话者继续说“是”或“嗯哼”)符合语境，其中with “yes” or “uh huh”与上文Display your interest对应，有承上作用。故选E项。 【19题详解】 由下文“You can’t concentrate on what someone’s saying if you’re forming what you’re going to say next. (如果你正在形成下一步要说话，你就无法集中精力听别人说什么)”可知，在听别人讲话时需要专心，不应该想接下来你要说话的内容。而D项Listening is not the same as waiting for your turn to talk.(倾听和等待轮到你说话是不一样的)符合语境，其中Listening与下文what someone’s saying对应， your turn to talk与下文what you’re going to say next对应。故选D项。 【20题详解】 由下文“In order to communicate effectively with someone, you don’t have to like them or agree with their ideas, values or opinions. However, you do need to set aside your judgement and hold back blame and criticism in order to fully understand them. The most difficult communication, when successfully performed, can often lead to an unlikely connection with someone.(为了与某人有效沟通，你不必喜欢他们，也不必认同他们的想法、价值观或观点。然而，你确实需要抛开你的判断，克制指责和批评，以便充分理解他们。最困难的沟通，如果成功地进行，往往会导致与某人建立不太可能的联系)”可知，这里主要讲沟通时需要抛开你的判断，克制指责和批评，以便充分理解他们。而A项Try to set aside judgement.(试着把判断放在一边)符合语境，对下文有总括作用，且set aside judgement与下文set aside your judgement对应。故选A项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Joy is a naturalist’s assistant at the Audubon Center, a non-profit organization connecting people with nature.

Every school day, I climbed those concrete steps to reach math class or my locker. A naughty and misbehaved guy called Tom and some of his followers would sit on the staircase, rating others on a scale of 1 to 10 by appearance as they passed by and laughed very loud, impolite, arrogant (自大的) and rude. Every time I walked up or down those stairs, their laughter echoed in my ears. “Just ignore them,” my mother advised. And I did. On the surface. But inside the painful message that I was “ugly” stuck deep in my soul. Quite often, the staircase would appear in my nightmares. Eventually, I graduated, got admitted to the college, earned a degree in Communications, launched a rewarding career as a writer and teacher, got married, and raised two amazing boys. But when I looked in the mirror, the doubts returned, bearing a deep hatred against Tom, his followers and even the school. When I received an invitation to my twentieth high school reunion, my mother was puzzled as I didn’t like high school. But I wanted to go back to confront those boys. I wanted to tell them how hurtful and unkind they were and that I had all the things they’d made me feel I wasn’t worthy of. I practiced my speech in my mind as I ran errands (出门办事), cooked dinner, and exercised outdoors. Soon, the big day arrived. I put on my favorite blouse, touched up my make-up, and steeled myself for the coming Friday night, ready for the “fight”. 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。 However, at the reunion, what I experienced made me feel I really needed to forgive. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At this moment, the organizer read a letter from Tom, who was absent from the gathering. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】However, at the reunion, what I experienced made me feel I really needed to forgive. People present greeted me with warm smiles and kind words. They complimented my achievements and how well I was doing. I looked around, trying to find Tom and his group. But most faces were unfamiliar, and the ones who ever laughed at me together with Tom didn’t seem to have the same arrogance as before. They asked about each other’s updates, including mine. I started chatting with some of them. They also shared stories about their struggles and growth over the years. I realized that everyone had changed, and holding onto the past grudges was only weighing me down. My planned speech wilted (枯萎) on my lips. “But how about Tom?” I was wondering. At this moment, the organizer read a letter from Tom, who was absent from the gathering. In the letter, Tom wrote, “I’m deeply sorry for my past behavior. I said things that were hurtful and acted like a jerk. I was immature and thoughtless. If you remember me that way, please forgive me.” Reading those words, a wave of relief washed over me. I let go of all the pain and anger that had been with me for so long. I knew that forgiving was not for them, but for myself. From that moment on, I felt free, ready to embrace life with a lighter heart and a more open mind. I felt happier, more self-confident and attractive and the staircase appearing in my nightmares was nowhere to be seen. 【解析】 【导语】本文人物为线索展开，讲述主人公高中时总被Tom及其追随者在楼梯上以貌打分嘲笑，这给其留下痛苦回忆。二十年后收到高中同学聚会邀请，主人公想回去“算账”。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，在聚会上，我的经历让我觉得自己真的需要原谅。”可知，第一段可描写聚会上大家热情友好，曾经嘲笑自己的人也有了改变，自己意识到不应再执着于过去的怨恨。 ②由第二段首句内容“这时，组织者宣读了缺席聚会的Tom的一封信。”可知，第二段可描写Tom在信中道歉，自己因此放下了长久以来的痛苦和愤怒，获得解脱。 2. 续写线索：聚会氛围友好——意识到应放下怨恨——Tom写信道歉——自己放下痛苦与愤怒 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①称赞：compliment/praise ②与……聊天：chat with/talk with ③放下：let go of/put down 情绪类 ①友好的：kind/friendly ②愤怒：anger/rage 【点睛】[高分句型1] I realized that everyone had changed, and holding onto the past grudges was only weighing me down.(运用了连词that引导宾语从句) [高分句型2] I said things that were hurtful and acted like a jerk.(运用了关系代词that引导限制性定语从句) [高分句型3] Reading those words, a wave of relief washed over me.(运用了现在分词作时间状语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
