It’s a fantastic way to showcase the diversity of cooking traditions and offer a multi-sensory cultural experience. Rhythm of the Globe Get ready to move! If you’re looking for high-energy cultural fair ideas that will have everyone tapping their feet, a world music and dance performance is the perfect choice.

They gather their gardening tools, put on old clothes that can get dirty, and sometimes even bring a small notebook and pen. Then, I drive them to a community garden where they spend the whole day at a gardening club. When I initially enrolled them in this program, I was excited about the concept but had some concerns as a parent. Would they enjoy getting their hands dirty all day? Would they be able to focus for such a long time? But when I asked them if they ever felt bored, they looked at me strangely. They clearly didn’t understand my worry, which made me realize my concerns might be unfounded. In this club, kids have the freedom to choose what they want to grow, whether it’s colorful flowers or delicious vegetables. They aren’t told that their choices are wrong but are encouraged to experiment. Something my children love about the gardening club is that they aren’t rushed to finish one task and move on to the next. Instead, they can take their time and explore as much as their interest leads them. "Don’t they miss out on regular school activities?" worried parents have questioned me. Both of their teachers don’t see it as an issue, and more importantly, my kids are acquiring new skills that a traditional classroom can’t offer. They are learning to notice the small changes in plants and understand the growth cycle — a lesson that’s hard to teach in a classroom. They are making friends with people of different ages. They work together, sharing their ideas and efforts to make the garden beautiful. I’m grateful that the gardening club is influencing my children’s connection with nature. They are learning how to care for plants, how to be patient, and gaining knowledge that will make them appreciate nature more in the future. 24. What do the children take when going to the gardening club? A. Gardening books. B. Old clothes. C. Gardening hats. D. Watering cans. 25. The underlined word “unfounded” in the passage probably means _______. A. without a basis B. very serious C. easy to understand D. difficult to solve 26. We can infer from the passage that ______. A. The author was against the gardening club at first. B. The children have learned a lot from the gardening club. C. The gardening club is not popular among parents. D. The children don’t like the gardening club. 27. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The benefits of the gardening club for children. B. The activities in the gardening club. C. The author’s concerns about the gardening club. D. How children make friends in the gardening club. C When Madhvi Chittoor of Arvada, Colo., learned at the age of 6 that PFAS are found in all sorts of consumer products, she wanted to warn everyone. So she started with one person: Colorado state senator (参议员) Lisa Cutter, a strong advocate for the environment. Cutter agreed to meet, and in 2021 she sat down with Madhvi at a bakery — Panera. They talked about how PFAS, a group of manufactured chemicals used in consumer products since the 1940s, have made their way into drinking water, soil, food products, and the air. Studies have found that exposure to certain levels of PFAS can lead to negative developmental effects in children, increased risk of some cancers and reduced immune function. Cutter already knew a little about PFAS but not enough to push her toward drafting a bill about them. Madhvi, she says, “really planted the seed.” The following year, Cutter went on to sponsor a PFAS bill that bans “intentionally added” PFAS in a wide range of consumer goods. In order to have the bill passed, Madhvi testified (作证) at the state Capitol and spent months emailing with Governor Jared Polis. After the bill passed, Polis recognized Madhvi’s hard work, inviting her to the bill signing in 2022. It was not the first time that Cutter and Madhvi worked together. In 2021, after Cutter proposed a measure to ban single-use plastic bags in major retail stores and plastic-foam containers in restaurants, Madhvi advocated for that bill too — speaking with city leaders and businesses, and conducting a signature campaign. At the beginning of 2024, that measure finally took full effect. And Madhvi, now 13, isn’t resting on her laurels. “There’s still more that needs to be banned, like PFAS in toilet paper and cleaning products,” she says. She has kept up her advocacy locally and abroad. And on a recent vacation in her hometown, she found time to organize a beach cleanup and speak at schools about pollution. 28. Why did Madhvi want to meet Cutter? A. To explore ways to resolve the PFAS problem. B. To prevent her from purchasing PFAS products. C. To seek support for a bill against the use of PFAS. D To inform her of PFAS’ negative effects on children. 29. How did Madhvi contribute to the passing of the PFAS bill? A. By drafting it together with Cutter. B. By conducting a signature campaign. C. By speaking with influential businesses. D. By gaining support from the government. 30. What can be inferred about Madhvi from the last paragraph? A. She is tired from her work. B. She feels proud of herself. C. She wants to achieve more. D. She cares little about fame. 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. Madhvi’s Environmental Campaigns B. Colorado’ s Bills on PFAS and Plastics C. A Teen’s Journey to Global Recognition D. A Young Voice against Environmental Damage D Every time we make a new video or send an email, or post a photo of our latest meal, it’s like turning on a small light bulb (灯泡) that’ ll never be turned off. This points to an uncomfortable and extremely modern question: To help save the planet, should we be using less data? Given how much of modern life depends on digital data, the answer could be a key aspect to living nobly in the AI age. Why do posts produce carbon at all? When you send a post on Moments, it goes along a chain of energy-burning electronics. Your Wi-Fi router sends the signal along wires to the local exchange — the box on the street corner — and from there to a telecoms company, and from there to huge data centers operated by the tech giants. Each of those runs on electricity, and it all adds up. Today, about 400 million homes worldwide have at least one “smart” device— curtains, electric cookers, refrigerators, and pads. By 2028, that figure is expected to nearly double. We are, in other words, being taken into a world where it’s harder to do anything without turning on a digital light bulb. This puts eco-conscious consumers in a bind. After all, who would like to be someone that can’t get their information properly because they’re too busy keeping the carbon footprint of their searches down? In the absence of systemic change, worrying over our individual data-usage decisions is “like trying to hold back a flood with a bucket and spade (铁铲).” Still, there’s something we can do. When we face a digital decision, the less data-thirsty option will often be the smarter one. Blocking third-party tracking when we’ re on the web, for example, not only reduces the power consumption of internet browsing; it’s also good for your privacy. More fundamentally, maybe we don’t need to turn everything into data. If I put down my phone the next time I’m on a train, it won’t save the planet. But I’ll be looking out the window with my own eyes, creating a memory that releases no carbon at all. 32. What does the author imply about data usage? A. It is energy-consuming. B. It is easy and convenient. C. Its negative effects are ignored. D. Its benefits are underestimated. 33. What is the function of paragraph 2? A To entertain. B. To inform. C. To persuade. D. To inspire. 34. What do the underlined words “in a bind” mean in paragraph 3? A. At risk. B. At a loss. C. At ease. D. At a disadvantage. 35. What does the author emphasize concerning carbon reduction in the last paragraph? A. The removal of digital data. B. The promotion of ecotourism. C. The value of personal contribution. D. The significance of systemic change. 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。选项有两项为多余选项。 Surviving each day requires a lot of effort on our part, so make sure that you are fully equipped physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually to meet the challenges ahead.

At the time, I did not consider this a luxury, although today, it certainly would be. My mother was a nurse. Though she didn’t talk much about her work in the hospital, I could tell she had her own plans and dreams in her career. She always wore a sweet smile and spoke gently when she was on the phone with her patients. But as a child, I took it for granted that mothers were the sandwich-makers, the finger-painting appreciators, the homework monitors, and housework doers in a child’s life. I never gave much thought to the fact that this ambitious, intelligent woman would spend almost every lunch hour throughout those years with me. For this, I am forever grateful. One lunchtime in particular will stay with me forever. I was in the third grade and two weeks earlier had been picked to be the princess in the spring play. Every lunch hour, my mother rehearsed (排练) my lines with me. But no matter how easily I delivered them at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher kindly asked me to switch to a narrator’s part in the play. I didn’t tell my mother that noon what had happened. But she seemed to sense my unease because she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard after lunch. It was a lovely spring day and the grass was becoming thick under our feet. Our rose vine on the fence was turning green. Throughout the grass, we could see yellow dandelions (蒲公英) in bunches, as if a painter had touched our landscape with drops of gold. “I think I’m going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, pulling a dandelion up by its roots. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I felt at once surprised and relieved that she had guessed my pain. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 邵阳市第二中学 2025 年 高二英语 第一次月考 满分：150 分 时间：120 分钟 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,并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后, 你都有 10 秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Where are the speakers?

C 【解析】 【原文】W: A heartbroken image captures a young polar bear sleeping on the melting pieces of a tiny iceberg. British part time photographer Nima Sarikhani captured the scene in Svalbard, which sits deep inside the Arctic circle, around 500 miles from the North Pole. The image was crowned the winner of this year’s wild life photographer of the year, People’s Choice award. After three days of desperately searching for polar bears through thick fog, Sarikhani finally spotted two polar bears, a younger male and an older male, just before midnight. As the ship got close to the bears, the younger one climbed on a small iceberg and carved out a bed with his paws before falling asleep. Sarikhani said this photograph has caused strong emotions in many of those who have seen it. An estimated 26,000 polar bears remain in the wild, and they are at the risk of dying out as rising temperatures melt away the sea ice these animals depend on. Director of the natural history museum said the heartbreaking image allows us to see the beauty and fragility of our planet. This thought-provoking image is a striking reminder of the essential bond between an animal and its habitat. And serves as a visual representation of the harmful impacts of climate warming and habitat loss. Sarikhani said he hoped his photograph could inspire hope. He added there is still time to fix the mess we have caused. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分 50 分) 第一节(共 15 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Cultural Fair Ideas to Wow Your Audience Currently, cultural fair ideas are more popular than ever, as communities seek engaging ways to celebrate diversity and promote cross-cultural understanding.

They gather their gardening tools, put on old clothes that can get dirty, and sometimes even bring a small notebook and pen. Then, I drive them to a community garden where they spend the whole day at a gardening club. When I initially enrolled them in this program, I was excited about the concept but had some concerns as a parent. Would they enjoy getting their hands dirty all day? Would they be able to focus for such a long time? But when I asked them if they ever felt bored, they looked at me strangely. They clearly didn’t understand my worry, which made me realize my concerns might be unfounded. In this club, kids have the freedom to choose what they want to grow, whether it’s colorful flowers or delicious vegetables. They aren’t told that their choices are wrong but are encouraged to experiment. Something my children love about the gardening club is that they aren’t rushed to finish one task and move on to the next. Instead, they can take their time and explore as much as their interest leads them. "Don’t they miss out on regular school activities?" worried parents have questioned me. Both of their teachers don’t see it as an issue, and more importantly, my kids are acquiring new skills that a traditional classroom can’t offer. They are learning to notice the small changes in plants and understand the growth cycle — a lesson that’s hard to teach in a classroom. They are making friends with people of different ages. They work together, sharing their ideas and efforts to make the garden beautiful. I’m grateful that the gardening club is influencing my children’s connection with nature. They are learning how to care for plants, how to be patient, and gaining knowledge that will make them appreciate nature more in the future. 24. What do the children take when going to the gardening club? A. Gardening books. B. Old clothes. C. Gardening hats. D. Watering cans. 25. The underlined word “unfounded” in the passage probably means _______. A. without a basis B. very serious C. easy to understand D. difficult to solve 26. We can infer from the passage that ______. A. The author was against the gardening club at first. B. The children have learned a lot from the gardening club. C. The gardening club is not popular among parents. D. The children don’t like the gardening club. 27. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The benefits of the gardening club for children. B. The activities in the gardening club. C. The author’s concerns about the gardening club. D. How children make friends in the gardening club. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的孩子们参加园艺俱乐部的经历以及园艺俱乐部对孩子们的影响。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“They gather their gardening tools, put on old clothes that can get dirty, and sometimes even bring a small notebook and pen.(他们收集园艺工具，穿上可能弄脏的旧衣服，有时甚至带上一个小笔记本和一支笔)”可知，孩子们去园艺俱乐部时会带旧衣服。故选B项。 【25题详解】 词ju 猜测题。根据第二段中“Would they be able to focus for such a long time? But when I asked them if they ever felt bored, they looked at me strangely. They clearly didn’t understand my worry…(他们能专注这么长时间吗？但当我问他们是否感到无聊时，他们奇怪地看着我。他们显然不理解我的担心……)”可知，这让我意识到我的担心可能是没有根据的。故可猜测划线单词unfounded为“没有根据的”意思，与A项without a basis“没有根据”意思一致。故选A项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“They are learning how to care for plants, how to be patient, and gaining knowledge that will make them appreciate nature more in the future.( 他们正在学习如何照顾植物，如何有耐心，并获得知识，使他们在未来更加欣赏自然)”可推知，孩子们从园艺俱乐部学到了很多东西。故选B项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“I’m grateful that the gardening club is influencing my children’s connection with nature. They are learning how to care for plants, how to be patient, and gaining knowledge that will make them appreciate nature more in the future.( 我很感激园艺俱乐部正在影响我的孩子与大自然的联系。他们正在学习如何照顾植物，如何有耐心，并获得知识，使他们在未来更加欣赏自然)”可知，文章主要讲的是儿童园艺俱乐部对孩子产生的积极影响以及它的好处。故选A项。 C When Madhvi Chittoor of Arvada, Colo., learned at the age of 6 that PFAS are found in all sorts of consumer products, she wanted to warn everyone. So she started with one person: Colorado state senator (参议员) Lisa Cutter, a strong advocate for the environment. Cutter agreed to meet, and in 2021 she sat down with Madhvi at a bakery — Panera. They talked about how PFAS, a group of manufactured chemicals used in consumer products since the 1940s, have made their way into drinking water, soil, food products, and the air. Studies have found that exposure to certain levels of PFAS can lead to negative developmental effects in children, increased risk of some cancers and reduced immune function. Cutter already knew a little about PFAS but not enough to push her toward drafting a bill about them. Madhvi, she says, “really planted the seed.” The following year, Cutter went on to sponsor a PFAS bill that bans “intentionally added” PFAS in a wide range of consumer goods. In order to have the bill passed, Madhvi testified (作证) at the state Capitol and spent months emailing with Governor Jared Polis. After the bill passed, Polis recognized Madhvi’s hard work, inviting her to the bill signing in 2022. It was not the first time that Cutter and Madhvi worked together. In 2021, after Cutter proposed a measure to ban single-use plastic bags in major retail stores and plastic-foam containers in restaurants, Madhvi advocated for that bill too — speaking with city leaders and businesses, and conducting a signature campaign. At the beginning of 2024, that measure finally took full effect. And Madhvi, now 13, isn’t resting on her laurels. “There’s still more that needs to be banned, like PFAS in toilet paper and cleaning products,” she says. She has kept up her advocacy locally and abroad. And on a recent vacation in her hometown, she found time to organize a beach cleanup and speak at schools about pollution. 28. Why did Madhvi want to meet Cutter? A. To explore ways to resolve the PFAS problem. B. To prevent her from purchasing PFAS products. C. To seek support for a bill against the use of PFAS. D. To inform her of PFAS’ negative effects on children. 29. How did Madhvi contribute to the passing of the PFAS bill? A. By drafting it together with Cutter. B. By conducting a signature campaign. C. By speaking with influential businesses. D. By gaining support from the government. 30. What can be inferred about Madhvi from the last paragraph? A. She is tired from her work. B. She feels proud of herself. C. She wants to achieve more. D. She cares little about fame. 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. Madhvi’s Environmental Campaigns B. Colorado’ s Bills on PFAS and Plastics C. A Teen’s Journey to Global Recognition D. A Young Voice against Environmental Damage 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了13岁女孩Madhvi Chittoor推动PFAS禁令，与参议员合作促成环保法案通过，并持续倡导环保的故事。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。文章在第一段“When Madhvi Chittoor of Arvada, Colo., learned at the age of 6 that PFAS are found in all sorts of consumer products, she wanted to warn everyone.(当科罗拉多州阿瓦达的Madhvi Chittoor在6岁时得知各种消费品中都含有PFAS时，她想警告所有人)”以及第二段“They talked about how PFAS, a group of manufactured chemicals used in consumer products since the 1940s, have made their way into drinking water, soil, food products, and the air.(他们谈到了PFAS是如何进入饮用水、土壤、食品和空气的。PFAS是一组自20世纪40年代以来用于消费品的化学制品)”和“Cutter already knew a little about PFAS but not enough to push her toward drafting a bill about them.(卡特已经对PFAS有了一些了解，但还不足以促使她起草一项有关PFAS的法案)”可推知，Madhvi想与参议员Cuter会面的目的是要探索解决PFAS向题的解决办法。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。从文章第三段“In order to have the bill passed, Madhvi testified (作证) at the state Capitol and spent months emailing with Governor Jared Polis.(为了让法案获得通过，马德维在州议会作证，并花了几个月的时间与州长贾里德·波利斯（Jared Polis）发电子邮件)”可知，Madhvi在推动PFAS禁令通过中做出的贡献是获得了政府部门的支持。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。从最后一段“And Madhvi, now 13, isn’t resting on her laurels. “There’s still more that needs to be banned, like PFAS in toilet paper and cleaning products,” she says.(现年13岁的Madhvi并没有满足于她的荣誉。“还有更多的东西需要被禁止，比如卫生纸和清洁产品中的PFAS，”她说)”可推知，Madhvi想为继续推动环保做出更多。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通过第一段的“When Madhvi Chittoor of Arvada, Colo., learned at the age of 6 that PFAS are found in all sorts of consumer products, she wanted to warn everyone.(当科罗拉多州阿瓦达的Madhvi Chittoor在6岁时得知各种消费品中都含有PFAS时，她想警告所有人)”和整篇文章的脉络结构，Madhvi在6岁时就向参议员普及PFAS知识并通过努力促进PFAS相关法案的通过，13岁的时候Madhvi不满足现状继续她的环保倡导。由此可知，本文主要讲了一个反对环境破坏的年轻人的故事。故选D。 D Every time we make a new video or send an email, or post a photo of our latest meal, it’s like turning on a small light bulb (灯泡) that’ ll never be turned off. This points to an uncomfortable and extremely modern question: To help save the planet, should we be using less data? Given how much of modern life depends on digital data, the answer could be a key aspect to living nobly in the AI age. Why do posts produce carbon at all? When you send a post on Moments, it goes along a chain of energy-burning electronics. Your Wi-Fi router sends the signal along wires to the local exchange — the box on the street corner — and from there to a telecoms company, and from there to huge data centers operated by the tech giants. Each of those runs on electricity, and it all adds up. Today, about 400 million homes worldwide have at least one “smart” device— curtains, electric cookers, refrigerators, and pads. By 2028, that figure is expected to nearly double. We are, in other words, being taken into a world where it’s harder to do anything without turning on a digital light bulb. This puts eco-conscious consumers in a bind. After all, who would like to be someone that can’t get their information properly because they’re too busy keeping the carbon footprint of their searches down? In the absence of systemic change, worrying over our individual data-usage decisions is “like trying to hold back a flood with a bucket and spade (铁铲).” Still, there’s something we can do. When we face a digital decision, the less data-thirsty option will often be the smarter one. Blocking third-party tracking when we’ re on the web, for example, not only reduces the power consumption of internet browsing; it’s also good for your privacy. More fundamentally, maybe we don’t need to turn everything into data. If I put down my phone the next time I’m on a train, it won’t save the planet. But I’ll be looking out the window with my own eyes, creating a memory that releases no carbon at all. 32. What does the author imply about data usage? A. It is energy-consuming. B. It is easy and convenient. C. Its negative effects are ignored. D. Its benefits are underestimated. 33. What is the function of paragraph 2? A. To entertain. B. To inform. C. To persuade. D. To inspire. 34. What do the underlined words “in a bind” mean in paragraph 3? A. At risk. B. At a loss. C. At ease. D. At a disadvantage. 35. What does the author emphasize concerning carbon reduction in the last paragraph? A. The removal of digital data. B. The promotion of ecotourism. C. The value of personal contribution. D. The significance of systemic change. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要探讨了数字数据使用对环境的影响，强调了在AI时代减少碳排放的必要性。文章通过分析数据传输过程中的碳排放问题，指出随着智能设备的普及，数据使用对环境的影响日益显著。尽管系统性变革是关键，但个人在数据使用上的选择也能对环保产生积极影响。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Every time we make a new video or send an email, or post a photo of our latest meal, it’s like turning on a small light bulb (灯泡) that’ll never be turned off. This points to an uncomfortable and extremely modern question: To help save the planet, should we be using less data? Given how much of modern life depends on digital data, the answer could be a key aspect to living nobly in the AI age.(每次我们制作一个新视频、发一封电子邮件、发布一张我们最近吃的饭的照片，就像打开了一个永远关不掉的小灯泡。这就引出了一个让人不舒服但又非常现代的问题：为了拯救地球，我们应该减少数据的使用吗？考虑到现代生活在很大程度上依赖于数字数据，这个问题的答案可能是在人工智能时代高尚生活的一个关键方面。)”和第二段的“When you send a post on Moments, it goes along a chain of energy-burning electronics. Your Wi-Fi router sends the signal along wires to the local exchange — the box on the street corner — and from there to a telecoms company, and from there to huge data centers operated by the tech giants. Each of those runs on electricity, and it all adds up.(当你在朋友圈发一条帖子时，它会通过一系列耗能的电子设备。你的Wi-Fi路由器通过电线将信号发送到本地交换机——街角的盒子——然后从那里发送到电信公司，再从那里发送到由科技巨头运营的大型数据中心。每一个都是用电运行的，这些都加起来了。)”可知，作者指出每一次发送信总、发布照片等行为都会产生碳排放，因为这些行为都依赖于一系列耗电的电了设备。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段内容“Why do posts produce carbon at all? When you send a post on Moments, it goes along a chain of energy-burning electronics. Your Wi-Fi router sends the signal along wires to the local exchange — the box on the street corner — and from there to a telecoms company, and from there to huge data centers operated by the tech giants. Each of those runs on electricity, and it all adds up.( 为什么帖子会产生碳呢？当你在朋友圈发一条帖子时，它会通过一系列耗能的电子设备。你的Wi-Fi路由器通过电线将信号发送到本地交换机——街角的盒子——然后从那里发送到电信公司，再从那里发送到由科技巨头运营的大型数据中心。每一个都是用电运行的，这些都加起来了。)”详细解释了数据发布过程小能源消耗的具体环节，包括数据从用户设备传输到数据中心的路径及共对电力的依赖。因此推断这一段的主要目的是向读者传递信息，解释数据使用为何会产生碳排放。故选B。 【34题详解】 词义猎测题。根据下文“After all, who would like to be someone that can’t get their information properly because they’re too busy keeping the carbon footprint of their searches down?(毕竟，谁愿意成为一个因为忙于降低搜索的碳足迹而无法正确获取信息的人呢？)”和作者提到“This puts eco-conscious consumers in a bind.（这让有环保意识的消费者陷入了困境。)”环保意识的消费者会in a bind可推断，他们既希望减少碳足迹，又不想错过获取信息的机会。因此，“in a bind”可以理解为“陷入困境”。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。最后一段“Still, there’s something we can do. When we face a digital decision, the less data-thirsty option will often be the smarter one. Blocking third-party tracking when we’ re on the web, for example, not only reduces the power consumption of internet browsing; it’s also good for your privacy. More fundamentally, maybe we don’t need to turn everything into data. If I put down my phone the next time I’m on a train, it won’t save the planet. But I’ll be looking out the window with my own eyes, creating a memory that releases no carbon at all.(不过，我们还是有办法的。当我们面临数字化决策时，对数据需求较少的选择往往是更明智的选择。例如，当我们上网时阻止第三方跟踪，不仅减少了互联网浏览的功耗；这对你的隐私也有好处。更根本的是，也许我们不需要把所有东西都变成数据。如果我下次在火车上放下手机，那也不能拯救地球。但我会用自己的眼睛看着窗外，创造一段完全不释放碳的记忆。)”提到，尽管个人行为对整体环境影响有限，们我们仍可以在口常生活小做出更环保的选择，例如减少数据使用或关闭第一方追踪。因此推断作者强调即使个人页献微小，也有价值。故选C。 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。选项有两项为多余选项。 Surviving each day requires a lot of effort on our part, so make sure that you are fully equipped physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually to meet the challenges ahead.

When ____63____ (question) about the meaning of “DeepSeek,” its latest R1 chatbot replied, “The name reflects the company’s mission to deeply explore____64____advance the foundational technologies of AI, aiming _____65_____ (push) the boundaries of AI innovation and application.” 【答案】56. was founded 57. innovative 58. has undergone 59. which 60. Unlike 61. itself 62. efficiency 63. questioned 64. and 65. to push 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲DeepSeek公司2023年成立，通过创新技术推出模型，凭强化学习脱颖而出，阐述公司使命与名字含义。 【56题详解】 考查动词的时态和语态。句意：这家公司正式名称为DeepSeek人工智能基础技术研究有限公司，于 2023 年 7 月成立。此处为谓语动词作定语，主语the firm与found之间是被动关系，且时间状语是in July 2023，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，主语为第三人称单数。故填was founded。 【57题详解】 考查形容词。句意：作为一家创新型科技初创公司，DeepSeek致力于开发前沿的大语言模型（LLMs）及相关技术。此处为形容词作定语修饰名词technology startup，innovate的形容词形式是innovative，表示“创新的”。故填innovative。 【58题详解】 考查动词的时态。句意：自从去年1月其首个模型“DeepSeek大语言模型”发布以来，该公司已经经历了多轮迭代。空处为主句谓语动词，主语the company与undergo为主动关系，since引导的时间状语从句用了一般过去时，主句要用现在完成时，主语the company是第三人称单数，所以用has undergone。故填has undergone。 【59题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：据美国媒体报道，去年12月，这家初创公司推出了其开源大语言模型“V3”，它超越了Meta 的所有开源大语言模型，可与OpenAI的闭源GPT4-o相媲美。这是一个非限制性定语从句，先行词是open-source LLM “V3”，指物，在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which引导。故填which。 【60题详解】 考查介词。句意：与思维链（CoT）和监督微调（SFT）等传统方法不同，DeepSeek通过采用强化学习（RL）作为核心训练方法在人工智能行业中脱颖而出。根据上下文提到的采用了不同的方法，这里表达“与……不同”的意思，介词unlike符合，且句首时首字母应大写。故填Unlike。 【61题详解】 考查反身代词。句意：与思维链（CoT）和监督微调（SFT）等传统方法不同，DeepSeek通过采用强化学习（RL）作为核心训练方法在人工智能行业中脱颖而出。主语是DeepSeek，这里表示“使它自己与众不同”，应用反身代词itself。故填itself。 【62题详解】 考查名词。句意：强化学习的采用使DeepSeek提高了其模型的推理能力、适应性和效率，使其成为该领域的领先者。and 连接并列名词，根据前面的reasoning 和adaptability 可知，这里需要用efficient的名词形式efficiency，表示“效率”，为不可数名词，作宾语。故填efficiency。 【63题详解】 考查状语从句的省略。句意：当被问及“DeepSeek”的含义时，其最新的R1聊天机器人回答道：“这个名字反映了公司深入探索和推进人工智能基础技术的使命，旨在突破人工智能创新和应用的界限。”此处为时间状语从句的省略，question与主语its latest R1 chatbot之间是被动关系，所以应用过去分词，这里把从句的主语和be动词省略掉了，把从句补充完整相当于When its latest R1 chatbot was questioned about the meaning of “DeepSeek,”。故填questioned。 【64题详解】 考查连词。句意：当被问及“DeepSeek” 的含义时，其最新的R1聊天机器人回答道：“这个名字反映了公司深入探索和推进人工智能基础技术的使命，旨在突破人工智能创新和应用的界限。”结合句意可知，explore和advance是并列关系，所以用连词and连接。故填and。 【65题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：当被问及“DeepSeek” 的含义时，其最新的 R1 聊天机器人回答道：“这个名字反映了公司深入探索和推进人工智能基础技术的使命，旨在突破人工智能创新和应用的界限。”此处为aim to do sth.意为“旨在做某事”符合句意，所以使用动词不定式形式作宾语。故填to push。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分 40 分) 第一节(满分 15 分) 66. 假定你是李华，你校将举办第12届科技作品展览节，开幕日期为2月7日。请你向英国交换生Mike写一封邮件，内容包括： 1. 介绍活动；2. 邀请参加。 参考词汇：科技展览节 Science and Technology Works Exhibition 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80个左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Dear Mike How have you been doing recently? _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Mike, How have you been doing recently?

At the time, I did not consider this a luxury, although today, it certainly would be. My mother was a nurse. Though she didn’t talk much about her work in the hospital, I could tell she had her own plans and dreams in her career. She always wore a sweet smile and spoke gently when she was on the phone with her patients. But as a child, I took it for granted that mothers were the sandwich-makers, the finger-painting appreciators, the homework monitors, and housework doers in a child’s life. I never gave much thought to the fact that this ambitious, intelligent woman would spend almost every lunch hour throughout those years with me. For this, I am forever grateful. One lunchtime in particular will stay with me forever. I was in the third grade and two weeks earlier had been picked to be the princess in the spring play. Every lunch hour, my mother rehearsed (排练) my lines with me. But no matter how easily I delivered them at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher kindly asked me to switch to a narrator’s part in the play. I didn’t tell my mother that noon what had happened. But she seemed to sense my unease because she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard after lunch. It was a lovely spring day and the grass was becoming thick under our feet. Our rose vine on the fence was turning green. Throughout the grass, we could see yellow dandelions (蒲公英) in bunches, as if a painter had touched our landscape with drops of gold. “I think I’m going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, pulling a dandelion up by its roots. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I felt at once surprised and relieved that she had guessed my pain. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: “I think I’m going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, pulling a dandelion up by its roots. I protested, “But they’re so pretty! Look at how bright and golden they are.” She paused, holding the dandelion gently in her hand, and smiled. “You’re right,” she said. “They are beautiful in their own way. Just like people — everyone has their own unique charm, even if they don’t fit into what others expect.” She looked at me intently, her eyes filled with understanding and concern. “I can see something’s been bothering you,” she added softly. I felt at once surprised and relieved that she had guessed my pain. I hesitated for a moment, and then confessed about losing the princess role in the play. She listened quietly. When I finished in sadness, she said, “Sometimes, the roles we don’t expect turn out to be the most meaningful. Being the narrator might not feel glamorous, but it’s just also important. You have a chance to tell the story in your own way.” Her words comforted me, and I realized she was right. Her wisdom and unconditional support became my guiding light, and I carried that lesson with me long after the play ended. 【解析】 【导语】本文以妈妈的陪伴和关爱为线索展开，讲述了作者小时候，妈妈作为一名护士，每天中午都会陪伴她，尽管作者当时觉得理所当然，但长大后意识到这是一种奢侈。三年级时，作者因紧张忘词，剧中的公主角色被换为旁白，她感到失落。妈妈察觉到她的情绪，带她散步并用蒲公英的比喻告诉她，每个人都有独特的魅力，鼓励她接受新角色，强调重要的是如何用心完成。妈妈的安慰让作者释然，学会了成长。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘我想我要把这些杂草都挖出来，’她说着，把一株蒲公英连根拔起”可知，第一段可描写作者反驳妈妈所说的话，赞美蒲公英的美丽，妈妈借此说明人和植物一样有自己的美，希望作者说出心里的烦恼。 ②由第二段首句内容“她猜到了我的痛苦，我感到既惊讶又宽慰”可知，第二段可描写作者讲述了自己的遭遇，妈妈安慰作者，建议做好旁白的工作，作者意识到妈妈是对的，一直记得妈妈的教导。 2. 续写线索：妈妈说要除掉蒲公英——作者反驳——妈妈借此开导作者——妈妈猜到作者的痛苦——作者说出心事，妈妈安慰——作者释然，铭记妈妈的教导 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①反对：protest/object ②承认：confess/admit/acknowledge ③结束：finish/end ④意识到：realize/recognize 情绪类 ①担忧：concern/worry ②悲伤：sadness/sorrow/unhappiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] Just like people — everyone has their own unique charm, even if they don’t fit into what others expect.
