I’m excited to share that I recently created a short video titled “AI and Our Lives”, inspired by the rapid development of DeepSeek. The main goal was to explore how AI impacts daily life, from healthcare to education. The 3-minute video showcases real-life applications and future possibilities of AI, aiming to spark thoughtful discussions. It would mean a lot if you could watch it online and share your feedback. Your insights are always valuable! Eagerly looking forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节 (满分25分)   I wiped them, searching for a reason to avoid crossing the water. After putting them on again, Sam was still there. “I don’t want any juice!” I said. Sam nodded understandingly. “Fine!” he spoke pleasantly and stood waiting. Frustrated by my own weakness, I took a deep breath, preparing myself to jump across the water. Once again, fear overwhelmed me. I looked towards where the others sat. Much to my relief, they still had their backs turned; only Sam stood opposite me, looking straight into my eyes, patiently. Then I gathered my courage, took a step forward, and jumped lightly across the channel. A slight slip of my heel on a stone was quickly steadied by Sam’s strong forearm against my back. As I glanced up, I couldn’t help but notice Sam’s towering height — the tallest among us. “Well done, Jimmy!” he said, nodding in approval while praising me for my bravery. Meanwhile, he handed me a bottle of juice. While drinking it, I felt a sense of pride in myself and gratitude towards Sam for his kindness. 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$听力考试正式开始。Oh, john, this exhibition is amazing.

Its beautiful architecture, various shops and dining options, as well as its history, make the station a popular destination. History The construction of Union Station was completed in April 1908. Daniel Burnham designed the Beaux Arts building, which featured a jaw-dropping Main Hall. By the early 1940s,about 200,000 passengers would pass through the station daily, as railways were the most popular means of long-distance travel at the time. The station faced difficulties after the Second World War as plane travel became more popular. The facility was turned into a new National Visitor Center in 1976, but for only a short time due to poor funding and organization. Union Station reopened in 1988 with restored elements. Its next difficulty arose from an earthquake that shook DC in August of 2011. By the fall of 2016, the entire Main Hall of the station had been restored. Transportation Options at Union Station Numerous transportation modes are available, including rail options like Metro, MARC trains and the Virginia Railway Express. There is a taxi pick-up service at the Main Hall entrance that is open from 8 a. m. ~1 a. m. You can also catch a bus or rent a car. Parking is available at the Union Station Parking Garage at 30 Massachusetts Avenue NE. You can also book a sightseeing tour from Union Station through Old Town Trolley Tours. Shopping & Dining at Union Station The shopping options at Union Station are plentiful, including Walgreens, Warby Parker, Andrew’s Ties and more. There’s also a restaurant for every taste. Quick options like Cava, Chipotle, Potbelly, and Taco Bell are on site. You can enjoy a delicious cup of coffee from Blue Bottle Coffee. For bakery specialties, head to Cinnabon or grab a Chicago-style pizza at UNO Pizzeria &amp; Grill. 21．What challenge did Union Station face after World War Ⅱ? A．Airplane travel became more popular. B．It was closed for repairs for over 20 years. C．People wanted to turn it into a visitor center. D．It was destroyed by an earthquake in August of 2011. 22．What can visitors do at 30 Massachusetts Avenue NE? A．Take a subway. B．Hire a taxi. C．Park their cars. D．Book a tour. 23．Where can visitors buy delicious bread? A．From Warby Parker. B．From Chipotle. C．From Blue Bottle Coffee. D．From Cinnabon. B My husband, Haywood, reached retirement age after 37 years of teaching this summer. I am excited to have more time with the person I like best in the world. The only downside was his stuff. What does he do with all the books? Haywood brought home, all the books, to a house already piled up with the books passed down from our parents after they passed away. Every bookshelf in the house — and there are a lot of bookshelves in this house — was already stuffed beyond moving. People have been arguing that print is dead, or about to be dead. It is not dead in this house. We write in books. We fold pages and underline passages and draw little stars at the edges of the pages. Before the objections begin, let me say that I am 100 percent in favor of every kind of reading there is: e-books, audio books, Braille books, graphic books, you name it. Nevertheless. I will always prefer a book I can hold in my hand, the kind that smells of paper and glue. The material feel of it pleases me. For me, a book made of paper will always be a beautiful object that warms a room even as it expands (or entertains, or challenges, or informs, or comforts) a mind, and a bookcase will always represent time itself. I walk past one of our bookcases, and I can tell you exactly why a particular book is still there, never removed as space grew limited. When I reread a book from my own shelves, I meet my own younger self. I am what I have read far more surely than I am what I have eaten. By looking at our bookshelves, I can tell you who my husband was, too. Our books ensure that I am still surrounded by all the selves I have ever been, and all the selves my husband has been. I prefer the messy shelves, the folded pages, the notes written in a familiar hand. 24．What can be inferred about the Haywood family? A．They push reading broadly. B．They show off their books, C．They should limit their books. D．They have a reading tradition. 25．What is the author’s attitude towards e-books? A．Supportive. B．Grateful. C．Passionate. D．Curious. 26．Why can paper books warm a room according to the author? A．They calm people’s mind. B．They hold emotional memories. C．They decorate the room well. D．They improve the family relation. 27．What is the best title for the text? A．My Books, My Moods B．My Bookshelf, Myself C．My Tie to My Husband D．My Preference to Print Books C A honey bee’s life depends on it successfully harvesting from flowers to make honey. Deciding which flower is most likely to offer nectar (花蜜) is incredibly difficult. In new research published recently, our team reports how bees make these complex decisions. We challenged bees with a field of artificial flowers, each of which offered a tiny drop of sugar syrup. Different-colored “flowers” varied in their likelihood of offering sugar. We put tiny, harmless paint marks on the back of each bee, and filmed every visit a bee made to the flower array. We then used computer vision and machine learning to automatically draw and study the route on which bees flew through. From this information, we found bees very quickly learned to identify the most rewarding flowers. They quickly assessed whether to accept or reject a flower, but surprisingly they made correct decisions within 0.6 seconds while incorrect decisions took them 1.2 seconds on average. The results and what we expected are poles apart. Usually in animals, an accurate decision takes longer than an inaccurate decision. This is called the speed-accuracy trade off, which happens because determining whether a decision is right or wrong usually depends on how much evidence we have to make that decision. More evidence means a more accurate decision, but gathering evidence takes time. So accurate decisions are usually slow and inaccurate decisions are faster. But bees only accepted a flower if, at a glance, they were sure it was rewarding. If they had any uncertainty, they rejected it. They might have missed some rewarding flowers, but they successfully focused their efforts only on the flowers with the best chance and best evidence of providing them with sugar. The only other animals known to beat the speed-accuracy tradeoff are humans and primates. It’s indeed amazing that bees seemed to be breaking this boundary. 28．How did researchers get the result of the experiment? A．By observing bees in the wild. B．By analyzing bees’ flight paths. C．By testing bees in different colors. D．By comparing bees’ food preference. 29．What did the research find about bees? A．They could tell artificial flowers immediately. B．They performed better in certain colored flowers. C．They made right choices faster than the wrong ones. D．They made more correct decisions than other species. 30．What does the underlined phrase “poles apart” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Contrary. B．Reasonable. C．Essential. D．Confusing. 31．Why do bees beat the speed-accuracy tradeoff? A．They ignore uncertainties. B．They gather evidence very fast. C．They stay on the right track while flying. D．They adopt a special decision-making mechanism. D The sequel (续编) to the block extraordinary Chinese animation film, Ne Zha, was released on Chinese New Year’s day, that is, Jan 29. Like many other Chinese movies, Ne Zha 2 is also based on a Chinese mythological figure — protective deity (神) Ne Zha. The film’s script is based on a popular 17th century Chinese novel, the Investiture of the Gods, which is one of the first major literary works to feature “deities” and “demons” in Taoism and Buddhism. How come films based on Chinese mythology have become massive hits at the box office? Ne Zha 2symbolizes rebellion. The image of Ne Zha has been modified from the traditional tragic hero “returning to his father” to a modern rebel who “changes his destiny against God’s will”, which is in line with the spiritual aspirations of today’s youths and their determination to fight against labeling and pursue their goals. This kind of modification breaks the character’s “sacredness” myth, enabling it to resonate with the audience. The film is a fusion of cultural symbols. It combines punk style, modern colloquialism (俗话), names and other elements such as the “Sichuan-style Mandarin” accent of Master Taiyi who is the tutor of Ne Zha. This practice grafts traditional cultural symbols with popular culture, making the film appealing to the audience. At the same time, it fosters a unique cultural identity. Ne Zha 2 is a great innovation in visual aesthetics (美感). The movie drives Gen Next Internet of things with 5G and smart technology, with fascinatingly innovative art direction, especially the misty landscape, which enhances the experience of going to the theater. That Ne Zha has been created with utmost care is evident from the fact that the character on the screen maintains its oriental aesthetic mood. Indeed, Ne Zha could become a new cultural brand of China. The film also illustrates changing family ethics. By transforming NeZha’s parents, Mr and Mrs Li Jing, from traditional, strict parents to loving father and mother who “go against God’s will to protect their son”, the filmmaker reconstructs Chinese family relationships, echoing the younger generation’s pursuit of “family roots” and building a cross-generational emotional connection. The film demonstrates the technological heroism of Chinese animators, reflecting Chinese film makers’ cultural confidence. Furthermore, the production team has increased the character count threefold from the prequel (前篇), an accomplishment that seems to have impressed audiences. The number of special effects shots in Ne Zha 2 alone surpasses the total number of shots in Ne Zha 1, giving audiences a visually spectacular experience. This reflects a commitment to create a more immersive and awe-inspiring cinematic journey. 32．What is the main theme of the movie “Ne Zha 2 Demon Child Conquers the Sea”? A．A courageous tragic hero returning to his father. B．A contemporary rebel who does not submit to his given fate. C．A story about a deity who follows traditional values. D．A tale of a hero who adheres to societal norms. 33．What can we infer from paragraph 4? A．The film adopts classical Chinese literature exclusively. B．Modern cultural references are neglected in the film. C．Traditional mythological elements are solely focused on. D．The film gives full play to different elements like present-day dialects. 34．What technological advancement is employed in “Ne Zha 2”? A．The use of 2D animation techniques. B．The reliance on traditional hand-drawn animation. C．The blend of 5G and smart technology. D．The adoption of Chinese martial arts. 35．How does the film illustrate the concept of family relationships? A．By portraying Ne Zha’s parents as strict and traditional figures. B．By ignoring the role of family in Ne Zha’s lifetime. C．By representing Ne Zha’s parents as affectionate and protective characters. D．By unfolding Ne Zha as an orphan with no family ties. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Smart Shopping Strategies for the Holiday Season It’s season for spending, as we look ahead to the end-of-year holidays and start shelling out money for different necessities. This year will be especially tough on budgets due to the high prices on just about everything. 36 ● Do clean up during seasonal sales. Companies are all trying to attract us to shop at the end of the year. You can find a lot of good deals, but you’ll want to start with a plan. 37 And that will help you determine which are important to you. ● Don’t be blinded by big markdowns. 38 You need to confirm that it’s actually a good deal by checking prices online. If you find a lower price, ask at the register for a price match or load up your virtual cart.

On the third morning, we left our camp for a hike. We picked our way along a stream in a park. There were six of us. Tall and strong, Sam led the way. After a while, we found a small waterfall and some smaller kids playing in the pool below together with their camp leaders. Forked ribbons of water (分叉的带状水流) leapt about three meters into the pool. We settled ourselves on a large stone above the waterfall. We unpacked our bags and spread out food, eating and laughing. Minutes later, the others carried all the food and attempted to jump across the stream above the waterfall. Soon, they crossed the first narrow ribbon of water and were now standing on the rocks that bordered the second channel. To me, the second channel looked so wide! Scared, I decided to stay right where I was. But they yelled back, “Come on over here! If you want any juice, that is!” I was thirsty. Slowly, I picked my way across a group of rocks till I reached a flat stone opposite where they were grouped. All had their backs to me; they were now busy aiming small stones at a fallen tree on the bank. I glanced down. The very cold water was running past the stone, inches away from my feet. I looked across the belt of water towards the tempting fruit juice! This sight inspired me to take action. I bent down, tensed myself to leap, and then glanced towards the left side. Barely two meters away was the waterfall. Although it was small and there were adults below, I still feared. My knees trembled; I drew back a couple of paces, staring at the running water. “Come along, Jimmy!” Sam said in a gentle voice. I looked up. Sam stood on the other side, barely four feet away from me. He must have seen me hesitating on the edge of the stone and sensed my terror at jumping across this little stream! Embarrassed, I took off my glasses. 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。 I wiped them, searching for a reason to avoid crossing the water. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then I gathered my courage, took a step forward, and jumped lightly across the channel. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 10 / 12 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 绝密★考试结束前 2024-2025学年高二下学期期中模拟卷 英语 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．难度系数：0.65。 4．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 做题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．What are the speakers mainly talking about?

Its beautiful architecture, various shops and dining options, as well as its history, make the station a popular destination. History The construction of Union Station was completed in April 1908. Daniel Burnham designed the Beaux Arts building, which featured a jaw-dropping Main Hall. By the early 1940s,about 200,000 passengers would pass through the station daily, as railways were the most popular means of long-distance travel at the time. The station faced difficulties after the Second World War as plane travel became more popular. The facility was turned into a new National Visitor Center in 1976, but for only a short time due to poor funding and organization. Union Station reopened in 1988 with restored elements. Its next difficulty arose from an earthquake that shook DC in August of 2011. By the fall of 2016, the entire Main Hall of the station had been restored. Transportation Options at Union Station Numerous transportation modes are available, including rail options like Metro, MARC trains and the Virginia Railway Express. There is a taxi pick-up service at the Main Hall entrance that is open from 8 a. m. ~1 a. m. You can also catch a bus or rent a car. Parking is available at the Union Station Parking Garage at 30 Massachusetts Avenue NE. You can also book a sightseeing tour from Union Station through Old Town Trolley Tours. Shopping & Dining at Union Station The shopping options at Union Station are plentiful, including Walgreens, Warby Parker, Andrew’s Ties and more. There’s also a restaurant for every taste. Quick options like Cava, Chipotle, Potbelly, and Taco Bell are on site. You can enjoy a delicious cup of coffee from Blue Bottle Coffee. For bakery specialties, head to Cinnabon or grab a Chicago-style pizza at UNO Pizzeria &amp; Grill. 21．What challenge did Union Station face after World War Ⅱ? A．Airplane travel became more popular. B．It was closed for repairs for over 20 years. C．People wanted to turn it into a visitor center. D．It was destroyed by an earthquake in August of 2011. 22．What can visitors do at 30 Massachusetts Avenue NE? A．Take a subway. B．Hire a taxi. C．Park their cars. D．Book a tour. 23．Where can visitors buy delicious bread? A．From Warby Parker. B．From Chipotle. C．From Blue Bottle Coffee. D．From Cinnabon. 【答案】21．A 22．C 23．D 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章讲述华盛顿联合车站是历史悠久的交通枢纽，经多次挑战修复，现提供多元交通、购物和餐饮服务。 21．细节理解题。根据第三段“The station faced difficulties after the Second World War as plane travel became more popular. (第二次世界大战后，随着飞机旅行的普及，该站面临着困难。)”可知，第二次世界大战后联合车站面临的挑战是飞机旅行变得更普及，即更受欢迎。故选A。 22．细节理解题。根据第四段“Parking is available at the Union Station Parking Garage at 30 Massachusetts Avenue NE. (位于马萨诸塞大道30号的联合车站停车场提供停车位。)”可知，游客在马萨诸塞大道30号可以停车。故选C。 23．细节理解题。根据最后一段“For bakery specialties, head to Cinnabon or grab a Chicago-style pizza at UNO Pizzeria &amp; Grill. (对于烘焙制品，前往Cinnabon或在UNO披萨店和烧烤抢一个芝加哥风格的披萨。)”可知，游客在Cinnabon可以买到美味的面包。故选D。 B My husband, Haywood, reached retirement age after 37 years of teaching this summer. I am excited to have more time with the person I like best in the world. The only downside was his stuff. What does he do with all the books? Haywood brought home, all the books, to a house already piled up with the books passed down from our parents after they passed away. Every bookshelf in the house — and there are a lot of bookshelves in this house — was already stuffed beyond moving. People have been arguing that print is dead, or about to be dead. It is not dead in this house. We write in books. We fold pages and underline passages and draw little stars at the edges of the pages. Before the objections begin, let me say that I am 100 percent in favor of every kind of reading there is: e-books, audio books, Braille books, graphic books, you name it. Nevertheless. I will always prefer a book I can hold in my hand, the kind that smells of paper and glue. The material feel of it pleases me. For me, a book made of paper will always be a beautiful object that warms a room even as it expands (or entertains, or challenges, or informs, or comforts) a mind, and a bookcase will always represent time itself. I walk past one of our bookcases, and I can tell you exactly why a particular book is still there, never removed as space grew limited. When I reread a book from my own shelves, I meet my own younger self. I am what I have read far more surely than I am what I have eaten. By looking at our bookshelves, I can tell you who my husband was, too. Our books ensure that I am still surrounded by all the selves I have ever been, and all the selves my husband has been. I prefer the messy shelves, the folded pages, the notes written in a familiar hand. 24．What can be inferred about the Haywood family? A．They push reading broadly. B．They show off their books, C．They should limit their books. D．They have a reading tradition. 25．What is the author’s attitude towards e-books? A．Supportive. B．Grateful. C．Passionate. D．Curious. 26．Why can paper books warm a room according to the author? A．They calm people’s mind. B．They hold emotional memories. C．They decorate the room well. D．They improve the family relation. 27．What is the best title for the text? A．My Books, My Moods B．My Bookshelf, Myself C．My Tie to My Husband D．My Preference to Print Books 【答案】24．D 25．A 26．B 27．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者对纸质书的深厚情感与偏爱。作者丈夫退休后，家中书籍堆积如山，但这并未让作者感到困扰，反而让她倍感亲切。书架上的书籍见证了作者和丈夫的历程，是时间的见证者。因此，作者坚称纸质书在她心中有着不可替代的地位。 24．推理判断题。根据第二段“Haywood brought home, all the books, to a house already piled up with the books passed down from our parents after they passed away. Every bookshelf in the house — and there are a lot of bookshelves in this house — was already stuffed beyond moving.(海伍德把所有的书都带回家，我们的家里已经堆满了父母去世后留下的书。房子里的每个书架——这个房子里有很多书架——都已经塞得无法移动了)”可知，海伍德家族有阅读的传统。故选D。 25．推理判断题。根据第四段“Before the objections begin, let me say that I am 100 percent in favor of every kind of reading there is: e-books, audio books, Braille books, graphic books, you name it.(在反对开始之前，我想说，我百分之百地支持所有的阅读方式：电子书、有声书、盲文书、图文书，应有尽有)”可知，作者对电子书的态度是支持。故选A。 26．细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“For me, a book made of paper will always be a beautiful object that warms a room even as it expands (or entertains, or challenges, or informs, or comforts) a mind, and a bookcase will always represent time itself. I walk past one of our bookcases, and I can tell you exactly why a particular book is still there, never removed as space grew limited.(对我来说，一本纸做的书永远是一件美丽的东西，它温暖了一个房间，即使它扩展了（或娱乐，或挑战，或告知，或安慰）一个心灵，书柜永远代表着时间本身。当我走过我们的一个书柜时，我可以确切地告诉你为什么某本书还在那里，因为空间变得有限而从未移走)”可知，纸书可以温暖房间是因为它们拥有情感记忆。故选B。 27．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Our books ensure that I am still surrounded by all the selves I have ever been, and all the selves my husband has been. I prefer the messy shelves, the folded pages, the notes written in a familiar hand.(我们的书确保我仍然被我曾经的自己和我丈夫曾经的自己所包围。我更喜欢凌乱的书架，折叠的书页，用熟悉的笔迹写的笔记)”以及本文讲述了作者对纸质书的深厚情感与偏爱。作者丈夫退休后，家中书籍堆积如山，但这并未让作者感到困扰，反而让她倍感亲切，书架上的书籍见证了作者和丈夫的历程，是时间的见证者，因此，作者坚称纸质书在她心中有着不可替代的地位，可知，B选项“我的书架和我自己”最符合文章标题。故选B。 C A honey bee’s life depends on it successfully harvesting from flowers to make honey. Deciding which flower is most likely to offer nectar (花蜜) is incredibly difficult. In new research published recently, our team reports how bees make these complex decisions. We challenged bees with a field of artificial flowers, each of which offered a tiny drop of sugar syrup. Different-colored “flowers” varied in their likelihood of offering sugar. We put tiny, harmless paint marks on the back of each bee, and filmed every visit a bee made to the flower array. We then used computer vision and machine learning to automatically draw and study the route on which bees flew through. From this information, we found bees very quickly learned to identify the most rewarding flowers. They quickly assessed whether to accept or reject a flower, but surprisingly they made correct decisions within 0.6 seconds while incorrect decisions took them 1.2 seconds on average. The results and what we expected are poles apart. Usually in animals, an accurate decision takes longer than an inaccurate decision. This is called the speed-accuracy trade off, which happens because determining whether a decision is right or wrong usually depends on how much evidence we have to make that decision. More evidence means a more accurate decision, but gathering evidence takes time. So accurate decisions are usually slow and inaccurate decisions are faster. But bees only accepted a flower if, at a glance, they were sure it was rewarding. If they had any uncertainty, they rejected it. They might have missed some rewarding flowers, but they successfully focused their efforts only on the flowers with the best chance and best evidence of providing them with sugar. The only other animals known to beat the speed-accuracy tradeoff are humans and primates. It’s indeed amazing that bees seemed to be breaking this boundary. 28．How did researchers get the result of the experiment? A．By observing bees in the wild. B．By analyzing bees’ flight paths. C．By testing bees in different colors. D．By comparing bees’ food preference. 29．What did the research find about bees? A．They could tell artificial flowers immediately. B．They performed better in certain colored flowers. C．They made right choices faster than the wrong ones. D．They made more correct decisions than other species. 30．What does the underlined phrase “poles apart” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Contrary. B．Reasonable. C．Essential. D．Confusing. 31．Why do bees beat the speed-accuracy tradeoff? A．They ignore uncertainties. B．They gather evidence very fast. C．They stay on the right track while flying. D．They adopt a special decision-making mechanism. 【答案】28．B 29．C 30．A 31．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究团队通过用人工花对蜜蜂进行实验，研究蜜蜂如何做出采蜜决策，发现蜜蜂打破了速度-准确性权衡这一现象。 28．细节理解题。根据第二段中“We then used computer vision and machine learning to automatically draw and study the route on which bees flew through. From this information, we found bees very quickly learned to identify the most rewarding flowers. (然后，我们使用计算机视觉和机器学习自动绘制并研究蜜蜂飞行的路线。从这些信息中，我们发现蜜蜂很快就学会了识别最有价值的花朵。)”可知，研究人员是通过分析蜜蜂的飞行路径来获取实验结果的。故选B项。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段中“They quickly assessed whether to accept or reject a flower, but surprisingly they made correct decisions within 0.6 seconds while incorrect decisions took them 1.2 seconds on average. (它们迅速评估是否接受或拒绝一朵花，但令人惊讶的是，它们在0.6秒内做出正确的决定，而错误的决定平均需要1.2秒。)”可知，研究发现蜜蜂做出正确选择的速度比做出错误选择的速度要快。故选C项。 30．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“From this information, we found bees very quickly learned to identify the most rewarding flowers. They quickly assessed whether to accept or reject a flower, but surprisingly they made correct decisions within 0.6 seconds while incorrect decisions took them 1.2 seconds on average. (从这些信息中，我们发现蜜蜂很快就学会了识别最有价值的花朵。它们迅速评估是否接受或拒绝一朵花，但令人惊讶的是，它们在0.6秒内做出正确的决定，而不正确的决定平均需要1.2秒。)”和第三段中“Usually in animals, an accurate decision takes longer than an inaccurate decision. This is called the speed-accuracy trade off, which happens because determining whether a decision is right or wrong usually depends on how much evidence we have to make that decision. More evidence means a more accurate decision, but gathering evidence takes time. So accurate decisions are usually slow and inaccurate decisions are faster. (通常在动物中，准确的决策比不准确的决策花费的时间更长。这被称为速度-准确性权衡，之所以会这样，是因为判断一个决策是否正确通常取决于我们做出该决策所拥有的证据量。更多的证据意味着更准确的决策，但收集证据需要时间。所以准确的决策通常较慢，而不准确的决策则较快。)”可知，通常在动物中，准确的决策比不准确的决策花费的时间更长，但蜜蜂的情况相反，它们做出正确的决定的时间更短。所以“The results and what we expected are poles apart.”表示结果和我们预期的完全相反，“poles apart”意思是“相反的”，与“Contrary”意思相近。故选A项。 31．细节理解题。根据第三段中“But bees only accepted a flower if, at a glance, they were sure it was rewarding. If they had any uncertainty, they rejected it. They might have missed some rewarding flowers, but they successfully focused their efforts only on the flowers with the best chance and best evidence of providing them with sugar. (但蜜蜂只有在一眼就确定一朵花有价值时才会接受它。如果它们有任何不确定，就会拒绝它。它们可能错过了一些有价值的花朵，但它们成功地将精力只集中在最有可能、最有证据能为它们提供糖分的花朵上。)”可知，蜜蜂采用了一种特殊的决策机制，即只接受一眼确定有价值的花，有不确定就拒绝，这使得它们打破了速度-准确性权衡。故选D项。 D The sequel (续编) to the block extraordinary Chinese animation film, Ne Zha, was released on Chinese New Year’s day, that is, Jan 29. Like many other Chinese movies, Ne Zha 2 is also based on a Chinese mythological figure — protective deity (神) Ne Zha. The film’s script is based on a popular 17th century Chinese novel, the Investiture of the Gods, which is one of the first major literary works to feature “deities” and “demons” in Taoism and Buddhism. How come films based on Chinese mythology have become massive hits at the box office? Ne Zha 2symbolizes rebellion. The image of Ne Zha has been modified from the traditional tragic hero “returning to his father” to a modern rebel who “changes his destiny against God’s will”, which is in line with the spiritual aspirations of today’s youths and their determination to fight against labeling and pursue their goals. This kind of modification breaks the character’s “sacredness” myth, enabling it to resonate with the audience. The film is a fusion of cultural symbols. It combines punk style, modern colloquialism (俗话), names and other elements such as the “Sichuan-style Mandarin” accent of Master Taiyi who is the tutor of Ne Zha. This practice grafts traditional cultural symbols with popular culture, making the film appealing to the audience. At the same time, it fosters a unique cultural identity. Ne Zha 2 is a great innovation in visual aesthetics (美感). The movie drives Gen Next Internet of things with 5G and smart technology, with fascinatingly innovative art direction, especially the misty landscape, which enhances the experience of going to the theater. That Ne Zha has been created with utmost care is evident from the fact that the character on the screen maintains its oriental aesthetic mood. Indeed, Ne Zha could become a new cultural brand of China. The film also illustrates changing family ethics. By transforming NeZha’s parents, Mr and Mrs Li Jing, from traditional, strict parents to loving father and mother who “go against God’s will to protect their son”, the filmmaker reconstructs Chinese family relationships, echoing the younger generation’s pursuit of “family roots” and building a cross-generational emotional connection. The film demonstrates the technological heroism of Chinese animators, reflecting Chinese film makers’ cultural confidence. Furthermore, the production team has increased the character count threefold from the prequel (前篇), an accomplishment that seems to have impressed audiences. The number of special effects shots in Ne Zha 2 alone surpasses the total number of shots in Ne Zha 1, giving audiences a visually spectacular experience. This reflects a commitment to create a more immersive and awe-inspiring cinematic journey. 32．What is the main theme of the movie “Ne Zha 2 Demon Child Conquers the Sea”? A．A courageous tragic hero returning to his father. B．A contemporary rebel who does not submit to his given fate. C．A story about a deity who follows traditional values. D．A tale of a hero who adheres to societal norms. 33．What can we infer from paragraph 4? A．The film adopts classical Chinese literature exclusively. B．Modern cultural references are neglected in the film. C．Traditional mythological elements are solely focused on. D．The film gives full play to different elements like present-day dialects. 34．What technological advancement is employed in “Ne Zha 2”? A．The use of 2D animation techniques. B．The reliance on traditional hand-drawn animation. C．The blend of 5G and smart technology. D．The adoption of Chinese martial arts. 35．How does the film illustrate the concept of family relationships? A．By portraying Ne Zha’s parents as strict and traditional figures. B．By ignoring the role of family in Ne Zha’s lifetime. C．By representing Ne Zha’s parents as affectionate and protective characters. D．By unfolding Ne Zha as an orphan with no family ties. 【答案】32．B 33．D 34．C 35．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文简单介绍了中国动画电影《哪吒2：魔童闹海》的主要内容、文化融合、视觉美学创新、家庭伦理变化以及技术成就等方面。影片还通过改变哪吒父母形象来阐释家庭关系的概念，展现了中国动画师的技术英雄主义和中国电影制作者的文化自信。 32．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The image of Ne Zha has been modified from the traditional tragic hero ‘returning to his father’ to a modern rebel who ‘changes his destiny against God’s will’, which is in line with the spiritual aspirations of today’s youths and their determination to fight against labeling and pursue their goals.(哪吒的形象已经从传统的悲剧英雄“回归父亲”转变为现代的叛逆者“逆天改命”，这符合当今青年的精神追求和他们反对标签、追求目标的决心)”可知，《哪吒2：魔童闹海》这部电影的主要主题是“一个不顺从命运的当代叛逆者”。故选B项。 33．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The film is a fusion of cultural symbols. It combines punk style, modern colloquialism (俗话), names and other elements such as the ‘Sichuan-style Mandarin’ accent of Master Taiyi who is the tutor of Ne Zha.(这部电影是文化符号的融合。它结合了朋克风格、现代俗语、名字等元素，以及哪吒师父太乙真人的“四川话”口音)”可知，这部电影充分发挥了当代方言等不同元素。故选D项。 34．细节理解题。根据文章第五段“The movie drives Gen Next Internet of things with 5G and smart technology(这部电影以5G和智能技术驱动下一代物联网)”可知，《哪吒2》采用了5G和智能技术的结合。故选C项。 35．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“By transforming NeZha’s parents, Mr and Mrs Li Jing, from traditional, strict parents to loving father and mother who ‘go against God’s will to protect their son’, the filmmaker reconstructs Chinese family relationships(通过把哪吒的父母李靖夫妇从传统严厉的父母转变为“逆天护子”的慈爱父母，电影制作人重构了中国家庭关系)”可知，这部电影通过将哪吒的父母描绘成充满爱和保护欲的角色来阐释家庭关系的概念。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Smart Shopping Strategies for the Holiday Season It’s season for spending, as we look ahead to the end-of-year holidays and start shelling out money for different necessities. This year will be especially tough on budgets due to the high prices on just about everything. 36 ● Do clean up during seasonal sales. Companies are all trying to attract us to shop at the end of the year. You can find a lot of good deals, but you’ll want to start with a plan. 37 And that will help you determine which are important to you. ● Don’t be blinded by big markdowns. 38 You need to confirm that it’s actually a good deal by checking prices online. If you find a lower price, ask at the register for a price match or load up your virtual cart. Some stores will match their online prices and the prices of selected competitors. ● 39 Tools such as Price Tracker can help you purchase when prices hit rock bottom or close to it. And you can set up email alerts to be notified when prices drop. Also remember that policies vary by different retailers during the holiday shopping season. ● Don’t trust Ads on social media. 40 If you see something you want to buy in a post, check to make sure the company has a website with contact information, a physical address and a return policy. Also, search for reviews and complaints online and check the Better Business Bureau atBBB．org. A．Do buy low. B．Do use price trackers. C．Commercials could contain cheating descriptions. D．The sign of “50% off ” doesn’t mean it’s a bargain. E．Make a list, including models and features you want. F．To save more of your money, follow these dos and don’ts. G．Set aside some money in a bank account for emergency repairs. 【答案】36．F 37．E 38．D 39．A 40．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些明智的假日购物策略。 36．根据上文“It’s season for spending, as we look ahead to the end-of-year holidays and start shelling out money for different necessities.

If you find a lower price, ask at the register for a price match or load up your virtual cart. Some stores will match their online prices and the prices of selected competitors.(你需要在网上查看价格来确认这确实是一笔好买卖。如果你发现一个更低的价格，在收银台询问价格匹配或加载你的虚拟购物车。一些商店会将他们的网上价格与选定的竞争对手的价格相匹配)”可知，上文提到小心大减价，本句承接上文说明原因是减价并一定真的便宜，可能还会发现更低价。故D选项“‘五折’的标志并不意味着是便宜货”符合语境，故选D。 39．根据后文“Tools such as Price Tracker can help you purchase when prices hit rock bottom or close to it. And you can set up email alerts to be notified when prices drop. Also remember that policies vary by different retailers during the holiday shopping season.(价格追踪器等工具可以帮助你在价格触底或接近底部时购买。你还可以设置电子邮件提醒，以便在价格下跌时收到通知。还要记住，在假日购物季，不同的零售商的政策是不同的)”可知，本段的主旨是利用工具在价格低的时候买入，A选项buy low对应后文prices hit rock bottom。故A选项“一定要逢低买进”符合语境，故选A。 40．根据上文“● Don’t trust Ads on social media.(●不要相信社交媒体上的广告)”以及后文“If you see something you want to buy in a post, check to make sure the company has a website with contact information, a physical address and a return policy.

On the third morning, we left our camp for a hike. We picked our way along a stream in a park. There were six of us. Tall and strong, Sam led the way. After a while, we found a small waterfall and some smaller kids playing in the pool below together with their camp leaders. Forked ribbons of water (分叉的带状水流) leapt about three meters into the pool. We settled ourselves on a large stone above the waterfall. We unpacked our bags and spread out food, eating and laughing. Minutes later, the others carried all the food and attempted to jump across the stream above the waterfall. Soon, they crossed the first narrow ribbon of water and were now standing on the rocks that bordered the second channel. To me, the second channel looked so wide! Scared, I decided to stay right where I was. But they yelled back, “Come on over here! If you want any juice, that is!” I was thirsty. Slowly, I picked my way across a group of rocks till I reached a flat stone opposite where they were grouped. All had their backs to me; they were now busy aiming small stones at a fallen tree on the bank. I glanced down. The very cold water was running past the stone, inches away from my feet. I looked across the belt of water towards the tempting fruit juice! This sight inspired me to take action. I bent down, tensed myself to leap, and then glanced towards the left side. Barely two meters away was the waterfall. Although it was small and there were adults below, I still feared. My knees trembled; I drew back a couple of paces, staring at the running water. “Come along, Jimmy!” Sam said in a gentle voice. I looked up. Sam stood on the other side, barely four feet away from me. He must have seen me hesitating on the edge of the stone and sensed my terror at jumping across this little stream! Embarrassed, I took off my glasses. 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。 I wiped them, searching for a reason to avoid crossing the water. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then I gathered my courage, took a step forward, and jumped lightly across the channel. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】     I wiped them, searching for a reason to avoid crossing the water. After putting them on again, Sam was still there. “I don’t want any juice!” I said. Sam nodded understandingly. “Fine!” he spoke pleasantly and stood waiting. Frustrated by my own weakness, I took a deep breath, preparing myself to jump across the water. Once again, fear overwhelmed me. I looked towards where the others sat. Much to my relief, they still had their backs turned; only Sam stood opposite me, looking straight into my eyes, patiently. Then I gathered my courage, took a step forward, and jumped lightly across the channel. A slight slip of my heel on a stone was quickly steadied by Sam’s strong forearm against my back. As I glanced up, I couldn’t help but notice Sam’s towering height — the tallest among us. “Well done, Jimmy!” he said, nodding in approval while praising me for my bravery.

Its beautiful architecture, various shops and dining options, as well as its history, make the station a popular destination. History The construction of Union Station was completed in April 1908. Daniel Burnham designed the Beaux Arts building, which featured a jaw-dropping Main Hall. By the early 1940s,about 200,000 passengers would pass through the station daily, as railways were the most popular means of long-distance travel at the time. The station faced difficulties after the Second World War as plane travel became more popular. The facility was turned into a new National Visitor Center in 1976, but for only a short time due to poor funding and organization. Union Station reopened in 1988 with restored elements. Its next difficulty arose from an earthquake that shook DC in August of 2011. By the fall of 2016, the entire Main Hall of the station had been restored. Transportation Options at Union Station Numerous transportation modes are available, including rail options like Metro, MARC trains and the Virginia Railway Express. There is a taxi pick-up service at the Main Hall entrance that is open from 8 a. m. ~1 a. m. You can also catch a bus or rent a car. Parking is available at the Union Station Parking Garage at 30 Massachusetts Avenue NE. You can also book a sightseeing tour from Union Station through Old Town Trolley Tours. Shopping & Dining at Union Station The shopping options at Union Station are plentiful, including Walgreens, Warby Parker, Andrew’s Ties and more. There’s also a restaurant for every taste. Quick options like Cava, Chipotle, Potbelly, and Taco Bell are on site. You can enjoy a delicious cup of coffee from Blue Bottle Coffee. For bakery specialties, head to Cinnabon or grab a Chicago-style pizza at UNO Pizzeria &amp; Grill. 21．What challenge did Union Station face after World War Ⅱ? A．Airplane travel became more popular.

B My husband, Haywood, reached retirement age after 37 years of teaching this summer. I am excited to have more time with the person I like best in the world. The only downside was his stuff. What does he do with all the books? Haywood brought home, all the books, to a house already piled up with the books passed down from our parents after they passed away. Every bookshelf in the house — and there are a lot of bookshelves in this house — was already stuffed beyond moving. People have been arguing that print is dead, or about to be dead. It is not dead in this house. We write in books. We fold pages and underline passages and draw little stars at the edges of the pages. Before the objections begin, let me say that I am 100 percent in favor of every kind of reading there is: e-books, audio books, Braille books, graphic books, you name it. Nevertheless. I will always prefer a book I can hold in my hand, the kind that smells of paper and glue. The material feel of it pleases me. For me, a book made of paper will always be a beautiful object that warms a room even as it expands (or entertains, or challenges, or informs, or comforts) a mind, and a bookcase will always represent time itself. I walk past one of our bookcases, and I can tell you exactly why a particular book is still there, never removed as space grew limited. When I reread a book from my own shelves, I meet my own younger self. I am what I have read far more surely than I am what I have eaten. By looking at our bookshelves, I can tell you who my husband was, too. Our books ensure that I am still surrounded by all the selves I have ever been, and all the selves my husband has been. I prefer the messy shelves, the folded pages, the notes written in a familiar hand. 24．What can be inferred about the Haywood family? A．They push reading broadly. B．They show off their books, C．They should limit their books. D．They have a reading tradition. 25．What is the author’s attitude towards e-books? A．Supportive. B．Grateful. C．Passionate. D．Curious. 26．Why can paper books warm a room according to the author? A．They calm people’s mind. B．They hold emotional memories. C．They decorate the room well. D．They improve the family relation. 27．What is the best title for the text? A．My Books, My Moods B．My Bookshelf, Myself C．My Tie to My Husband D．My Preference to Print Books C A honey bee’s life depends on it successfully harvesting from flowers to make honey. Deciding which flower is most likely to offer nectar (花蜜) is incredibly difficult. In new research published recently, our team reports how bees make these complex decisions. We challenged bees with a field of artificial flowers, each of which offered a tiny drop of sugar syrup. Different-colored “flowers” varied in their likelihood of offering sugar. We put tiny, harmless paint marks on the back of each bee, and filmed every visit a bee made to the flower array. We then used computer vision and machine learning to automatically draw and study the route on which bees flew through. From this information, we found bees very quickly learned to identify the most rewarding flowers. They quickly assessed whether to accept or reject a flower, but surprisingly they made correct decisions within 0.6 seconds while incorrect decisions took them 1.2 seconds on average. The results and what we expected are poles apart. Usually in animals, an accurate decision takes longer than an inaccurate decision. This is called the speed-accuracy trade off, which happens because determining whether a decision is right or wrong usually depends on how much evidence we have to make that decision. More evidence means a more accurate decision, but gathering evidence takes time. So accurate decisions are usually slow and inaccurate decisions are faster. But bees only accepted a flower if, at a glance, they were sure it was rewarding. If they had any uncertainty, they rejected it. They might have missed some rewarding flowers, but they successfully focused their efforts only on the flowers with the best chance and best evidence of providing them with sugar. The only other animals known to beat the speed-accuracy tradeoff are humans and primates. It’s indeed amazing that bees seemed to be breaking this boundary. 28．How did researchers get the result of the experiment? A．By observing bees in the wild. B．By analyzing bees’ flight paths. C．By testing bees in different colors. D．By comparing bees’ food preference. 29．What did the research find about bees? A．They could tell artificial flowers immediately. B．They performed better in certain colored flowers. C．They made right choices faster than the wrong ones. D．They made more correct decisions than other species. 30．What does the underlined phrase “poles apart” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Contrary. B．Reasonable. C．Essential. D．Confusing. 31．Why do bees beat the speed-accuracy tradeoff? A．They ignore uncertainties. B．They gather evidence very fast. C．They stay on the right track while flying. D．They adopt a special decision-making mechanism. D The sequel (续编) to the block extraordinary Chinese animation film, Ne Zha, was released on Chinese New Year’s day, that is, Jan 29. Like many other Chinese movies, Ne Zha 2 is also based on a Chinese mythological figure — protective deity (神) Ne Zha. The film’s script is based on a popular 17th century Chinese novel, the Investiture of the Gods, which is one of the first major literary works to feature “deities” and “demons” in Taoism and Buddhism. How come films based on Chinese mythology have become massive hits at the box office? Ne Zha 2symbolizes rebellion. The image of Ne Zha has been modified from the traditional tragic hero “returning to his father” to a modern rebel who “changes his destiny against God’s will”, which is in line with the spiritual aspirations of today’s youths and their determination to fight against labeling and pursue their goals. This kind of modification breaks the character’s “sacredness” myth, enabling it to resonate with the audience. The film is a fusion of cultural symbols. It combines punk style, modern colloquialism (俗话), names and other elements such as the “Sichuan-style Mandarin” accent of Master Taiyi who is the tutor of Ne Zha. This practice grafts traditional cultural symbols with popular culture, making the film appealing to the audience. At the same time, it fosters a unique cultural identity. Ne Zha 2 is a great innovation in visual aesthetics (美感). The movie drives Gen Next Internet of things with 5G and smart technology, with fascinatingly innovative art direction, especially the misty landscape, which enhances the experience of going to the theater. That Ne Zha has been created with utmost care is evident from the fact that the character on the screen maintains its oriental aesthetic mood. Indeed, Ne Zha could become a new cultural brand of China. The film also illustrates changing family ethics. By transforming NeZha’s parents, Mr and Mrs Li Jing, from traditional, strict parents to loving father and mother who “go against God’s will to protect their son”, the filmmaker reconstructs Chinese family relationships, echoing the younger generation’s pursuit of “family roots” and building a cross-generational emotional connection. The film demonstrates the technological heroism of Chinese animators, reflecting Chinese film makers’ cultural confidence. Furthermore, the production team has increased the character count threefold from the prequel (前篇), an accomplishment that seems to have impressed audiences. The number of special effects shots in Ne Zha 2 alone surpasses the total number of shots in Ne Zha 1, giving audiences a visually spectacular experience. This reflects a commitment to create a more immersive and awe-inspiring cinematic journey. 32．What is the main theme of the movie “Ne Zha 2 Demon Child Conquers the Sea”? A．A courageous tragic hero returning to his father. B．A contemporary rebel who does not submit to his given fate. C．A story about a deity who follows traditional values. D．A tale of a hero who adheres to societal norms. 33．What can we infer from paragraph 4? A．The film adopts classical Chinese literature exclusively. B．Modern cultural references are neglected in the film. C．Traditional mythological elements are solely focused on. D．The film gives full play to different elements like present-day dialects. 34．What technological advancement is employed in “Ne Zha 2”? A．The use of 2D animation techniques. B．The reliance on traditional hand-drawn animation. C．The blend of 5G and smart technology. D．The adoption of Chinese martial arts. 35．How does the film illustrate the concept of family relationships? A．By portraying Ne Zha’s parents as strict and traditional figures. B．By ignoring the role of family in Ne Zha’s lifetime. C．By representing Ne Zha’s parents as affectionate and protective characters. D．By unfolding Ne Zha as an orphan with no family ties. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Smart Shopping Strategies for the Holiday Season It’s season for spending, as we look ahead to the end-of-year holidays and start shelling out money for different necessities.

On the third morning, we left our camp for a hike. We picked our way along a stream in a park. There were six of us. Tall and strong, Sam led the way. After a while, we found a small waterfall and some smaller kids playing in the pool below together with their camp leaders. Forked ribbons of water (分叉的带状水流) leapt about three meters into the pool. We settled ourselves on a large stone above the waterfall. We unpacked our bags and spread out food, eating and laughing. Minutes later, the others carried all the food and attempted to jump across the stream above the waterfall. Soon, they crossed the first narrow ribbon of water and were now standing on the rocks that bordered the second channel. To me, the second channel looked so wide! Scared, I decided to stay right where I was. But they yelled back, “Come on over here! If you want any juice, that is!” I was thirsty. Slowly, I picked my way across a group of rocks till I reached a flat stone opposite where they were grouped. All had their backs to me; they were now busy aiming small stones at a fallen tree on the bank. I glanced down. The very cold water was running past the stone, inches away from my feet. I looked across the belt of water towards the tempting fruit juice! This sight inspired me to take action. I bent down, tensed myself to leap, and then glanced towards the left side. Barely two meters away was the waterfall. Although it was small and there were adults below, I still feared. My knees trembled; I drew back a couple of paces, staring at the running water. “Come along, Jimmy!” Sam said in a gentle voice. I looked up. Sam stood on the other side, barely four feet away from me. He must have seen me hesitating on the edge of the stone and sensed my terror at jumping across this little stream! Embarrassed, I took off my glasses. 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。 I wiped them, searching for a reason to avoid crossing the water. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then I gathered my courage, took a step forward, and jumped lightly across the channel. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第7页（共8页） 试题 第8页（共8页） 试题 第5页（共8页） 试题 第6页（共8页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
