B With arms outstretched, Shyanne Sellers smiled as her teammates surrounded her to celebrate her buzzer-beating three-pointer (压哨三分球) that led to the win over the Purdue University basketball team. Shyanne’s impressive basketball skills and confidence seem to come naturally—her dad, Brad Sellers, played alongside Michael Jordan on the Chicago Bulls. But the wallpaper on her phone suggests another story. The phrase “living strong, fighting long, till MS is gone” is to honor her mom, Kym Sellers, who’s battled multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化症) for decades. “It just made me work really hard, just knowing that anything’s possible if you put your mind to it,” she said of her mom’s fight. “People are like, ‘Oh, that’s so sad.’ but she doesn’t make you feel like it’s sad. She’s just grateful for everything she can do.” Growing up in Aurora, Ohio, as the youngest of four—all of whom played basketball—Shyanne could dribble (运球) nearly before she could walk, Kym says, and the family had to hold her back from rushing onto the court at her sisters’ games. And while Shyanne doesn’t remember a time when her mom could walk, she does recall Mom’s efforts to get her started in the sport. Kym signed Shyanne up for a 5-year-old rec league when she was 4. She was just so into it. The early introduction, as well as Kym’s encouragement to play in the Amateur Athletic Union, led Shyanne to become a professional player. Her family has been there throughout her journey, traveling to most games, home and away. “What I love about her parents is that they allow me to coach her hard, and through that, you can see that growth with Shyanne,” head coach Brenda Frese said. “It’s important to have those culture players within your program that want to leave their own mark.” As Shyanne looks to her future, she knows that her family’s love and support will continue to be crucial as she fights for greatness. 24．What does Shyanne think of her mother? A．Generous. B．Ambitious. C．Patient. D．Optimistic. 25．What can we learn about Shyanne as a baby from paragraph 3? A．She had a natural talent. B．She was discouraged from playing. C．She was taught basketball by her father. D．She didn’t enjoy playing with her sisters. 26．How did Shyanne start her basketball career? A．She was encouraged by her father. B．Her mother signed her up for a basketball league. C．She was coached by professionals from an early age. D．She started playing after watching a basketball game. 27．What does Brenda appreciate about Shyanne’s parents? A．They support Brenda’s coaching method. B．They let Shyanne make her own decisions. C．They allow Shyanne to play in more games. D．They encourage Shyanne to leave her mark. C Bacteria (细菌) know how to rough it out all over the earth. Ask most of them where they’d truly prefer to settle though, and a kitchen sponge (海绵) would probably top the list. Yes, it turns out that the very tool we use to clean our plates, which is warm, damp, and full of nutritious food pieces, is packed of tiny life. Lingchong You, a biologist at Duke University, along with his team, used computers to model the complex environment of a sponge for a 2022 study. He found that sponges featuring pockets of varying sizes are something that really matters for promoting bacterial growth. This holds significance as certain bacteria tend to grow independently while others demand the companionship of others. Within a sponge filled with holes and pockets, there exist such an abundance of diverse structures that everyone attains a state of satisfaction. Nevertheless, it does not necessarily follow that these tools present a health risk to us as well. Bacteria exist everywhere and not all are harmful; in fact, many perform vital jobs. The important question is, therefore, are the bacteria found in sponges even worth worrying about? In 2017, Jennifer Quinlan, a professor of food safety, and her colleagues, collected kitchen sponges from 100 homes, finding that only 1 – 2% of those sponges contained bacteria linked to food poisoning in humans and the ones that did contained only small amounts of harmful bacteria. “The vast majority of bacteria on sponges do not cause illness, and they’re just going to make them smell.” says Quinlan. “Having said that, there is a possibility that if you use a sponge to wipe up raw meat that you could have some of those disease-causing bacteria on there, and studies have found that those bacteria can be separated from kitchen sponges.” This is not the whole story yet. If dangerous bacteria happen to arrive on the scene, the sponge’s special make-up makes it an ideal place for them to grow and multiply. And there’s evidence this is the case. 28．What can we learn from the first paragraph? A．Sponges are perfect tools in the kitchen. B．Bacteria prefer to live in dry environment. C．Kitchen sponges are good home for bacteria. D．Bacteria affect kitchen sponges’ performance. 29．What did Lingchong You find in his study? A．How sponges are exactly structured. B．What encourages bacterial growth. C．How bacteria react to the environment. D．Why bacteria keep company with each other. 30．What does Quinlan think of bacteria on sponges? A．Relatively harmless. B．Poorly adaptive, C．Surprisingly unpleasant. D．Widely distributed. 31．What will be probably discussed in the following paragraph? A．Proofs of bacterial threat. B．The classification of bacteria. C．Methods to control bacterial growth. D．Research into applications of bacteria. D The rapid spread of AI has people wondering: Who’s most likely to embrace (接受) AI in their daily lives? Many assume it’s those who understand how AI works are most eager to adopt it. Surprisingly, our new research finds the opposite. People with less knowledge about AI are actually more open to using the technology. We call this difference in adoption tendency the “lower literacy-higher receptivity” link. AI now performs tasks we once thought only humans could do. When AI creates a piece of art, writes a heartfelt response, or plays a musical instrument, it can feel almost magical — like it’s crossing into human territory. Of course, AI doesn’t actually possess human qualities. A chatbot might generate an empathetic (同感的) response, but it doesn’t feel empathy. People with more technical knowledge about AI understand this. They know how algorithms (算法), training data, and computational models operate. This makes the technology less magical. On the other hand, those with less understanding may see AI as magical and awe-inspiring. We suggest this sense of magic makes them more open to using AI tools. Our studies show this link is strongest for using AI tools in areas where people associate with human characteristics, like providing emotional support or counseling. When it comes to tasks that don’t cause the same sense of humanlike qualities — such as analyzing test results — the pattern flips. People with higher AI literacy are more receptive to these uses because they focus on AI’s efficiency, rather than any “magical” qualities. Efforts to boost AI literacy might unintentionally dampen people’s enthusiasm for using AI by making it seem less magical. This creates a tricky balance between helping people understand AI and keeping them open to its adoption. To make the most of AI’s potential, businesses, educators and policymakers need to strike this balance. By understanding how perceptions of “magicalness” shape people’s openness to AI, we can help develop new AI-based products and services that take the way people view AI into account, and help them understand the benefits and risks of AI. And ideally, this will happen without causing a loss of the admiration that inspires many people to embrace this new technology. 32．Why are less-informed people more open to AI? A．They trust its moral standards. B．They admire the ability of AI. C．They believe in its superior efficiency. D．They prefer its technical complexity. 33．What does the underlined word “flips” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Breaks down. B．Takes shape. C．Shows up. D．Turns over. 34．What is the tricky situation regarding AI literacy? A．Balancing morals and capability. B．Reducing fear while ensuring safety. C．Familiarizing without losing wonder. D．Prioritizing efficiency over magic. 35．What is the author’s attitude towards using AI? A．Objective. B．Worried. C．Skeptical. D．Dismissive. 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。 I was eleven years old when I spotted my neighbour, Julie, working in her garden. She asked me if I would help her cut back the hedge (树篱) overgrown over the pathway. I agreed and my brother Josh also came along to help us. We wheeled Julie’s garden bin (垃圾桶) down to the hedge. 36 We posted photos of our handiwork on “Our Malmesbury”, our local Facebook Group. The community reaction was amazing. A wheelchair user was so grateful that he didn’t have to go onto the road anymore to pass the hedge. 37 Many people raised their hands to volunteer and do more to keep our town tidy. 38 Before, it looked a bit run down, but now, the place looks cleaner and tidier. Residents comment how amazing the roses look when they flower and make the place brighter. To keep the projects going, I managed to sort funding through local businesses and associations. I used a website online that lists available grants (补助). 39 So Julie applied on our behalf. The funding has helped us obtain trees, plants and gardening equipment. When we first started, everything was done out of my parent’s garage. I started with nothing, just borrowing equipment we already had. But as time went on, donations came in from the local community. 40 It got so big that we had to move this all to Julie’s. Our Facebook Page currently sits at 669 members. I’m so pleased that six years later, the campaign is still in full swing. Our mission won’t stop. A．The whole town was inspired to follow our lead. B．When I first tried to apply, I wasn’t of legal age. C．All three of us tackled away at it until we reduced it. D．With many willing hands, our town has transformed. E．I even won a grant to fund the planting of Queen apple trees. F．This was the beginning of many community projects completed by volunteers. G．Your garage got filled up so quickly with brushes, gardening tools and leaf blowers. 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。 I was nervous when I stood up to compete for the lead role in the annual play. My hands shook, and I 41 wanted to go back into my seat and be invisible. After finishing reading my 42 , I rushed back to my seat. When the teacher called my name, I couldn’t 43 it. I was on the cast list! With a racing heart, I felt nearly faint, but incredibly happy. I was 44 to do my best and practiced every day. I 45 too hard. Then I started to have scary dreams about 46 my lines on stage. Finally, I told the teacher to let someone else take my 47 . She said, “You can do this. I’ll help you.” At rehearsal (排演), 48 went smoothly until the scene where I slipped on the ice, followed by loud laughter. I went out and started to 49 . “I can’t do it. Get someone else!” Suddenly, I heard voices and a gentle hand took mine. I 50 through my tears to see concerned faces. Four girls had come after me. “Please, don’t drop out. Our play will be a 51 without you!” they said. “Okay,” I said, giving them a shy smile. I dried my eyes and went back to the stage.

Though in her late 60s, Agnes still tries hard to take care of herself and run a small farm. However, she is finding herself struggling to maintain all this. One winter morning, as frost painted the windows with delicate designs, Agnes woke up to unsettling silence — The power was out, and so was the heating. “Another signal of struggling,” Agnes thought to herself. Feeling cold, she wrapped herself in a thick coat and decided to go to the local cafe for a cup of coffee and some warmth. As she stepped out into the biting cold, Agnes felt the pain inside her bones. The streets were unusually quiet, with only a few brave souls braving the elements. She made her way to the cafe, her breath visible in the frosty air. Upon entering, she was greeted by the good smell of fresh coffee. She ordered her usual and found a seat by the window. As she drank her coffee, Agnes noticed a young man shaking outside. He seemed to be debating whether to come in or not. The moment she saw his face, she recognized it was Charlie, who used to enjoy coffee in the cafe and pay for her coffee before they started a pleasant conversation. “There must be something wrong with him,” Agnes thought. She decided to buy Charlie a cup of coffee. Holding a steaming cup of coffee, Agnes approached Charlie and offered him the cup. “Here, this might help warm you up,” Agnes said gently. Charlie looked at Agnes with surprise and gratitude. “Thank you,” he stammered, his hands wrapping around the cup as if it were a lifeline. “I…I lost my job and home. I was trying to... find a job...” Agnes patted him on the arm and said softly, “We all have struggles, but there’s always hope.” 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。 With an idea in mind, Agnes invited Charlie into the cafe. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ During his stay with Agnes, Charlie tried to pay back. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 / 24 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．When does Mary’s party start?

There’re several ways you can use it to improve your English, because you can read, listen and write.I’m sure that before long, speak.Firstly, writing practice is excellent for your learning. On the Internet there’re two places where you can write—message boards and live chat rooms. Live chat rooms are great for improving your fluency, because you have to write quickly. People don’t want to wait too long to hear your response. A message board is good for both fluency and accuracy because you can think and prepare before you write.Also, the Internet is a good place to practice your listening. The Internet may be better than the radio as you can listen again and again. You should visit a good news site, such as the BBC. BBC radio is an incredible resource. The ability to listen repeatedly, and to pause, allows you to put into practice the advice I give in the reading and listening skills section. In order to improve your listening, you have to be an active listener: make notes, try to write down the main points, try to write down new vocabulary. Finally, visit the website for the textbook. There’re extra practice exercises and reading materials. It also offers learners special message boards. OK. That’s all for today. Thank you for listening. 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 Safari (狩猎) Adventure Tour: Explore Wildlife in Tanzania Are you passionate about wildlife and eager to witness Africa’s iconic animals in their natural habitat?

(与其他野生动物探险服务提供商不同，我们的专业导游是经过培训的生物学家，他们能提供有关动物行为和生态系统的深入知识)”可知，Safari Adventure Tour旅行团的导游是训练有素的生物学家，具备科学专业知识，这是让其脱颖而出的特点。故选C项。 22．细节理解题。根据“Tour Packages”部分中“3-Day Safari: $330/ person (Covers 2 nights in eco-lodges, all meals, and guided bush walks). (3天的野生探险之旅：每人330美元（包括在生态小屋住两晚、所有餐食和有导游带领的丛林徒步）)”可知，参加为期3天的游猎，每人330美元，一对夫妇则需支付330×2 = 660美元。故选C项。 23．细节理解题。根据“Special Features”部分中“*Flexible Customization: Tailor your tour with add-ons like photography workshops or night safari.

Shyanne’s impressive basketball skills and confidence seem to come naturally—her dad, Brad Sellers, played alongside Michael Jordan on the Chicago Bulls. But the wallpaper on her phone suggests another story. The phrase “living strong, fighting long, till MS is gone” is to honor her mom, Kym Sellers, who’s battled multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化症) for decades. “It just made me work really hard, just knowing that anything’s possible if you put your mind to it,” she said of her mom’s fight. “People are like, ‘Oh, that’s so sad.’ but she doesn’t make you feel like it’s sad. She’s just grateful for everything she can do.” Growing up in Aurora, Ohio, as the youngest of four—all of whom played basketball—Shyanne could dribble (运球) nearly before she could walk, Kym says, and the family had to hold her back from rushing onto the court at her sisters’ games. And while Shyanne doesn’t remember a time when her mom could walk, she does recall Mom’s efforts to get her started in the sport. Kym signed Shyanne up for a 5-year-old rec league when she was 4. She was just so into it. The early introduction, as well as Kym’s encouragement to play in the Amateur Athletic Union, led Shyanne to become a professional player. Her family has been there throughout her journey, traveling to most games, home and away. “What I love about her parents is that they allow me to coach her hard, and through that, you can see that growth with Shyanne,” head coach Brenda Frese said. “It’s important to have those culture players within your program that want to leave their own mark.” As Shyanne looks to her future, she knows that her family’s love and support will continue to be crucial as she fights for greatness. 24．What does Shyanne think of her mother? A．Generous. B．Ambitious. C．Patient. D．Optimistic. 25．What can we learn about Shyanne as a baby from paragraph 3? A．She had a natural talent. B．She was discouraged from playing. C．She was taught basketball by her father. D．She didn’t enjoy playing with her sisters. 26．How did Shyanne start her basketball career? A．She was encouraged by her father. B．Her mother signed her up for a basketball league. C．She was coached by professionals from an early age. D．She started playing after watching a basketball game. 27．What does Brenda appreciate about Shyanne’s parents? A．They support Brenda’s coaching method. B．They let Shyanne make her own decisions. C．They allow Shyanne to play in more games. D．They encourage Shyanne to leave her mark. 【答案】24．D 25．A 26．B 27．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了一位出色的篮球运动员Shyanne Sellers的成长经历。 24．推理判断题。根据第二段“She’s just grateful for everything she can do.(她只是对自己能做的一切心存感激’)”可知，她的母亲始终保持乐观。故选D项。 25．细节理解题。根据第三段“…Shyanne could dribble (运球) nearly before she could walk, Kym says, and the family had to hold her back from rushing onto the court at her sisters’ games.(Kym说，Shyanne几乎在学步前就会运球了，她的家人不得不阻止她冲到姐姐们的比赛球场上)”可知，她很小就展现出篮球方面的天赋。故选A项。 26．细节理解题。根据第四段“Kym signed Shyanne up for a 5-year-old rec league when she was 4. She was just so into it.(在Shyanne 4岁的时候，Kym为她报名了一个5岁年龄组的业余联盟。她很喜欢)”可知，是她的妈妈Kym帮她报名参加了一个篮球联盟，从而开始了她的篮球生涯。故选B项。 27．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段引用教练的话“What I love about her parents is that they allow me to coach her hard, and through that, you can see that growth with Shyanne(最让我欣赏的是，他们允许我努力训练她，通过这些训练，你可以看到Shyanne的成长)”可知，教练很感激她的父母支持自己的对Shyanne的训练方法。故选A项。 C Bacteria (细菌) know how to rough it out all over the earth. Ask most of them where they’d truly prefer to settle though, and a kitchen sponge (海绵) would probably top the list. Yes, it turns out that the very tool we use to clean our plates, which is warm, damp, and full of nutritious food pieces, is packed of tiny life. Lingchong You, a biologist at Duke University, along with his team, used computers to model the complex environment of a sponge for a 2022 study. He found that sponges featuring pockets of varying sizes are something that really matters for promoting bacterial growth. This holds significance as certain bacteria tend to grow independently while others demand the companionship of others. Within a sponge filled with holes and pockets, there exist such an abundance of diverse structures that everyone attains a state of satisfaction. Nevertheless, it does not necessarily follow that these tools present a health risk to us as well. Bacteria exist everywhere and not all are harmful; in fact, many perform vital jobs. The important question is, therefore, are the bacteria found in sponges even worth worrying about? In 2017, Jennifer Quinlan, a professor of food safety, and her colleagues, collected kitchen sponges from 100 homes, finding that only 1 – 2% of those sponges contained bacteria linked to food poisoning in humans and the ones that did contained only small amounts of harmful bacteria. “The vast majority of bacteria on sponges do not cause illness, and they’re just going to make them smell.” says Quinlan. “Having said that, there is a possibility that if you use a sponge to wipe up raw meat that you could have some of those disease-causing bacteria on there, and studies have found that those bacteria can be separated from kitchen sponges.” This is not the whole story yet. If dangerous bacteria happen to arrive on the scene, the sponge’s special make-up makes it an ideal place for them to grow and multiply. And there’s evidence this is the case. 28．What can we learn from the first paragraph? A．Sponges are perfect tools in the kitchen. B．Bacteria prefer to live in dry environment. C．Kitchen sponges are good home for bacteria. D．Bacteria affect kitchen sponges’ performance. 29．What did Lingchong You find in his study? A．How sponges are exactly structured. B．What encourages bacterial growth. C．How bacteria react to the environment. D．Why bacteria keep company with each other. 30．What does Quinlan think of bacteria on sponges? A．Relatively harmless. B．Poorly adaptive, C．Surprisingly unpleasant. D．Widely distributed. 31．What will be probably discussed in the following paragraph? A．Proofs of bacterial threat. B．The classification of bacteria. C．Methods to control bacterial growth. D．Research into applications of bacteria. 【答案】28．C 29．B 30．A 31．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了细菌在厨房海绵中的生存情况，包括细菌的生长环境、种类、对人类的潜在影响以及海绵的特殊结构如何成为细菌生长的理想场所。 28．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Bacteria (细菌) know how to rough it out all over the earth. Ask most of them where they’d truly prefer to settle though, and a kitchen sponge (海绵) would probably top the list. Yes, it turns out that the very tool we use to clean our plates, which is warm, damp, and full of nutritious food pieces, is packed of tiny life.(细菌知道在严苛环境中的生存之道。不过，要是问它们最想在哪里定居，厨房海绵可能会高居榜首。没错，事实证明，我们用来清洗盘子的这个工具，温暖、潮湿，还满是富有营养的食物碎屑，其实充斥着微生命。)”可知，厨房海绵是细菌的理想栖息地。故选C。 29．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“He found that sponges featuring pockets of varying sizes are something that really matters for promoting bacterial growth.(他发现，海绵上那些大小各异的孔隙对于促进细菌生长至关重要。)”可知，Lingchong You的研究解释了孔隙结构差异与细菌增殖的关联性。故选B。 30．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“... finding that only 1 – 2% of those sponges contained bacteria linked to food poisoning in humans and the ones that did contained only small amounts of harmful bacteria. “The vast majority of bacteria on sponges do not cause illness, and they’re just going to make them smell.” says Quinlan.(...发现这些海绵中只有1%到2%含有与人类食物中毒相关的细菌，而且确实含有有害细菌的海绵中，有害细菌的含量也很少。Quinlan说：“海绵上绝大多数细菌不会致病，它们只是会让海绵产生异味。)”可知，Quinlan 认为海绵上绝大多数细菌不会引发疾病，只有极少数海绵含有与人类食物中毒有关的细菌，而且这些细菌的含量也很少，所以她认为海绵上的细菌相对无害。故选A。 31．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“This is not the whole story yet. If dangerous bacteria happen to arrive on the scene, the sponge’s special make-up makes it an ideal place for them to grow and multiply. And there’s evidence this is the case.(事情还不止如此。如果危险的细菌碰巧来到了海绵上，海绵特殊的构造会使它成为这些细菌生长和繁殖的理想场所。而且有证据表明情况确实如此。)”可知，由于最后一段提到有证据表明危险细菌会在海绵上生长繁殖，所以接下来很可能会讨论细菌威胁的证据具体是什么。故选A。 D The rapid spread of AI has people wondering: Who’s most likely to embrace (接受) AI in their daily lives? Many assume it’s those who understand how AI works are most eager to adopt it. Surprisingly, our new research finds the opposite. People with less knowledge about AI are actually more open to using the technology. We call this difference in adoption tendency the “lower literacy-higher receptivity” link. AI now performs tasks we once thought only humans could do. When AI creates a piece of art, writes a heartfelt response, or plays a musical instrument, it can feel almost magical — like it’s crossing into human territory. Of course, AI doesn’t actually possess human qualities. A chatbot might generate an empathetic (同感的) response, but it doesn’t feel empathy. People with more technical knowledge about AI understand this. They know how algorithms (算法), training data, and computational models operate. This makes the technology less magical. On the other hand, those with less understanding may see AI as magical and awe-inspiring. We suggest this sense of magic makes them more open to using AI tools. Our studies show this link is strongest for using AI tools in areas where people associate with human characteristics, like providing emotional support or counseling. When it comes to tasks that don’t cause the same sense of humanlike qualities — such as analyzing test results — the pattern flips. People with higher AI literacy are more receptive to these uses because they focus on AI’s efficiency, rather than any “magical” qualities. Efforts to boost AI literacy might unintentionally dampen people’s enthusiasm for using AI by making it seem less magical. This creates a tricky balance between helping people understand AI and keeping them open to its adoption. To make the most of AI’s potential, businesses, educators and policymakers need to strike this balance. By understanding how perceptions of “magicalness” shape people’s openness to AI, we can help develop new AI-based products and services that take the way people view AI into account, and help them understand the benefits and risks of AI. And ideally, this will happen without causing a loss of the admiration that inspires many people to embrace this new technology. 32．Why are less-informed people more open to AI? A．They trust its moral standards. B．They admire the ability of AI. C．They believe in its superior efficiency. D．They prefer its technical complexity. 33．What does the underlined word “flips” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Breaks down. B．Takes shape. C．Shows up. D．Turns over. 34．What is the tricky situation regarding AI literacy? A．Balancing morals and capability. B．Reducing fear while ensuring safety. C．Familiarizing without losing wonder. D．Prioritizing efficiency over magic. 35．What is the author’s attitude towards using AI? A．Objective. B．Worried. C．Skeptical. D．Dismissive. 【答案】32．B 33．D 34．C 35．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了人们对AI技术的接受度差异，指出对AI了解较少的人更容易接受AI技术，而对AI技术了解较多的人则更关注其效率和实用性。 32．细节理解题。根据第二段中的内容“On the other hand, those with less understanding may see AI as magical and awe-inspiring. We suggest this sense of magic makes them more open to using AI tools.(另一方面，那些不太了解人工智能的人可能会认为人工智能很神奇且令人敬畏。我们认为这种神奇的感觉使他们更愿意使用人工智能工具)”可知，一些人更容易接受AI是因为他们对AI的能力感到钦佩。故选B项。 33．词句猜测题。根据上文的句子“Our studies show this link is strongest for using AI tools in areas where people associate with human characteristics, like providing emotional support or counseling. When it comes to tasks that don’t cause the same sense of humanlike qualities—such as analyzing test results(我们的研究表明，在人们认为具有人类特征的领域，如提供情感支持或咨询，使用人工智能工具时，这种联系最为强烈。当涉及不会产生相同的人类特征感的任务时——如分析测试结果——这种模式会flip。)”可知，此处对比了“具有人类特征的领域”和“不会引起同样的人类品质感的任务时”两种情况，因为后者不涉及引起人类品质感的任务，所以与前者相比情况会出现反转，划线单词flip的意义为“改变；反转”，与turn over意义相近。故选D项。 34．推理判断题。根据第四段中的内容“Efforts to boost AI literacy might unintentionally dampen people’s enthusiasm for using AI by making it seem less magical. (提高AI素养的努力可能会无意中削弱人们对使用AI的热情，因为它会让AI显得不那么神奇)”可知，关于人工智能素养，关键在于在提高AI素养的同时保持人们对AI的“神奇感”。故选C项。 35．推理判断题。根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段中的内容“By understanding how perceptions of ‘magicalness’ shape people’s openness to AI, we can help develop new AI-based products and services that take the way people view AI into account, and help them understand the benefits and risks of AI. (通过理解‘神奇感’如何影响人们对AI的接受度，我们可以帮助开发新的基于AI的产品和服务，同时考虑到人们对AI的看法，并帮助他们理解AI的好处和风险)”可知，作者对AI的态度是客观的，既看到了其潜力，也关注了其风险和挑战。故选A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。 I was eleven years old when I spotted my neighbour, Julie, working in her garden. She asked me if I would help her cut back the hedge (树篱) overgrown over the pathway. I agreed and my brother Josh also came along to help us. We wheeled Julie’s garden bin (垃圾桶) down to the hedge. 36 We posted photos of our handiwork on “Our Malmesbury”, our local Facebook Group. The community reaction was amazing. A wheelchair user was so grateful that he didn’t have to go onto the road anymore to pass the hedge. 37 Many people raised their hands to volunteer and do more to keep our town tidy. 38 Before, it looked a bit run down, but now, the place looks cleaner and tidier. Residents comment how amazing the roses look when they flower and make the place brighter. To keep the projects going, I managed to sort funding through local businesses and associations. I used a website online that lists available grants (补助). 39 So Julie applied on our behalf. The funding has helped us obtain trees, plants and gardening equipment. When we first started, everything was done out of my parent’s garage. I started with nothing, just borrowing equipment we already had. But as time went on, donations came in from the local community. 40 It got so big that we had to move this all to Julie’s. Our Facebook Page currently sits at 669 members. I’m so pleased that six years later, the campaign is still in full swing. Our mission won’t stop. A．The whole town was inspired to follow our lead. B．When I first tried to apply, I wasn’t of legal age. C．All three of us tackled away at it until we reduced it. D．With many willing hands, our town has transformed. E．I even won a grant to fund the planting of Queen apple trees. F．This was the beginning of many community projects completed by volunteers. G．Your garage got filled up so quickly with brushes, gardening tools and leaf blowers. 【答案】36．C 37．A 38．D 39．B 40．G 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和邻居Julie及兄弟Josh修剪树篱，激发社区参与，并通过申请补助推动更多美化项目的经历。 36．由上文“I was eleven years old when I spotted my neighbour, Julie, working in her garden.

(在许多乐于助人的帮助下，我们的小镇已经发生了转变。)”既呼应前文集体参与，同时引出下文小镇变得更加整洁的具体描述，符合语境。故选D。 39．由下文“So Julie applied on our behalf. (所以朱莉代表我们申请了。)”可知，下文描述别人代替申请，本空应描述不能申请补助的原因。B选项 “When I first tried to apply, I wasn’t of legal age. (当我第一次尝试申请时，我还未到法定年龄。)”解释为什么是朱莉代表申请，符合语境。故选B。 40．由下文“It got so big that we had to move this all to Julie’s. (东西变得如此之多，以至于我们不得不把所有这些搬到朱莉家去。)”可知，该空应描述捐赠的东西过多放不下了。G选项 “Your garage got filled up so quickly with brushes, gardening tools and leaf blowers. (你的车库很快就被刷子、园艺工具和吹叶机填满了。)”符合语境，描述了捐赠的物品使车库填满，后来不得不搬到朱莉家。故选G。 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。 I was nervous when I stood up to compete for the lead role in the annual play.

Though in her late 60s, Agnes still tries hard to take care of herself and run a small farm. However, she is finding herself struggling to maintain all this. One winter morning, as frost painted the windows with delicate designs, Agnes woke up to unsettling silence — The power was out, and so was the heating. “Another signal of struggling,” Agnes thought to herself. Feeling cold, she wrapped herself in a thick coat and decided to go to the local cafe for a cup of coffee and some warmth. As she stepped out into the biting cold, Agnes felt the pain inside her bones. The streets were unusually quiet, with only a few brave souls braving the elements. She made her way to the cafe, her breath visible in the frosty air. Upon entering, she was greeted by the good smell of fresh coffee. She ordered her usual and found a seat by the window. As she drank her coffee, Agnes noticed a young man shaking outside. He seemed to be debating whether to come in or not. The moment she saw his face, she recognized it was Charlie, who used to enjoy coffee in the cafe and pay for her coffee before they started a pleasant conversation. “There must be something wrong with him,” Agnes thought. She decided to buy Charlie a cup of coffee. Holding a steaming cup of coffee, Agnes approached Charlie and offered him the cup. “Here, this might help warm you up,” Agnes said gently. Charlie looked at Agnes with surprise and gratitude. “Thank you,” he stammered, his hands wrapping around the cup as if it were a lifeline. “I…I lost my job and home. I was trying to... find a job...” Agnes patted him on the arm and said softly, “We all have struggles, but there’s always hope.” 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。 With an idea in mind, Agnes invited Charlie into the cafe. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ During his stay with Agnes, Charlie tried to pay back. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 With an idea in mind, Agnes invited Charlie into the cafe. They found a quiet corner and sat down. Agnes listened intently as Charlie shared his story. He had been laid off a month ago and had been struggling to make ends meet ever since. Agnes, seeing herself in his struggle, offered him a place to stay for a few days. “I have an extra room that no one uses,” she said with a warm smile. “You can stay there while you get back on your feet.” During his stay with Agnes, Charlie tried to pay back. He began by helping out around the farm. Each day, he would wake up early and assist Agnes with her chores, feeding the animals, repairing fences, and even chopping wood for the fireplace. Slowly but surely, the farm began to look better and Agnes felt less burdened. Charlie also lined up job interviews and finally landed a job at a local grocery store. The day he moved into his own place, he and Agnes shared a heartfelt goodbye. “You have no idea how much you’ve helped me,” Charlie said, tears in his eyes. Agnes, hugging him tightly, replied, “We both helped each other. Remember, there’s always hope.” 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。在一个小镇上，60多岁的阿格尼斯独自生活并经营着一个小农场，但渐渐感到力不从心。一个寒冬的早晨，停电让她的家失去了暖气，阿格尼斯决定去当地的咖啡馆取暖。在咖啡馆里，她遇到了曾经熟悉的年轻人查理，他因失业和无家可归而彷徨。阿格尼斯为他买了一杯咖啡，并安慰他说，尽管生活艰难，但总有希望。查理感动不已，感受到了一丝温暖与鼓励。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“带着一个想法，阿格尼斯邀请查理走进咖啡馆。”可知，第一段可以描写阿格尼斯了解查理的情况后对于查理的帮助。 ②由第二段句首内容“在与阿格尼斯相处期间，查理试图偿还。”可知，第二段可以描写查理为了偿还采取的行动，和查理的感激之情。 2.续写线索：邀请走进咖啡馆—了解查理的情况—邀请到家—查理试图偿还—农场帮忙—感谢 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①专心听：listen intently/ listen attentively ②解雇：lay off/fire ③帮助：assist/help 情绪类 ①感激：gratitude/appreciation ②泪水盈眶：tears in one’s eyes/tears filling one’s eyes 【点睛】【高分句型1】Agnes, seeing herself in his struggle, offered him a place to stay for a few days.

Each day, he would wake up early and assist Agnes with her chores, feeding the animals, repairing fences, and even chopping wood for the fireplace. Slowly but surely, the farm began to look better and Agnes felt less burdened. Charlie also lined up job interviews and finally landed a job at a local grocery store. The day he moved into his own place, he and Agnes shared a heartfelt goodbye. “You have no idea how much you’ve helped me,” Charlie said, tears in his eyes. Agnes, hugging him tightly, replied, “We both helped each other. Remember, there’s always hope.” 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ ( ………………○……………… 外 ………………○……………… 装 ………………○……………… 订 ………………○……………… 线 ………………○……………… ) ( ………………○……………… 内 ………………○……………… 装 ………………○……………… 订 ………………○……………… 线 ………………○……………… ) ( 此卷只装订 不密封 ) ( ………………○……………… 内 ………………○……………… 装 ………………○……………… 订 ………………○……………… 线 ………………○……………… ………………○……………… 外 ………………○……………… 装 ………………○……………… 订 ………………○……………… 线 ………………○……………… … 学校： ______________ 姓名： _____________ 班级： _______________ 考号： ______________________ ) 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．When does Mary’s party start?

B With arms outstretched, Shyanne Sellers smiled as her teammates surrounded her to celebrate her buzzer-beating three-pointer (压哨三分球) that led to the win over the Purdue University basketball team. Shyanne’s impressive basketball skills and confidence seem to come naturally—her dad, Brad Sellers, played alongside Michael Jordan on the Chicago Bulls. But the wallpaper on her phone suggests another story. The phrase “living strong, fighting long, till MS is gone” is to honor her mom, Kym Sellers, who’s battled multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化症) for decades. “It just made me work really hard, just knowing that anything’s possible if you put your mind to it,” she said of her mom’s fight. “People are like, ‘Oh, that’s so sad.’ but she doesn’t make you feel like it’s sad. She’s just grateful for everything she can do.” Growing up in Aurora, Ohio, as the youngest of four—all of whom played basketball—Shyanne could dribble (运球) nearly before she could walk, Kym says, and the family had to hold her back from rushing onto the court at her sisters’ games. And while Shyanne doesn’t remember a time when her mom could walk, she does recall Mom’s efforts to get her started in the sport. Kym signed Shyanne up for a 5-year-old rec league when she was 4. She was just so into it. The early introduction, as well as Kym’s encouragement to play in the Amateur Athletic Union, led Shyanne to become a professional player. Her family has been there throughout her journey, traveling to most games, home and away. “What I love about her parents is that they allow me to coach her hard, and through that, you can see that growth with Shyanne,” head coach Brenda Frese said. “It’s important to have those culture players within your program that want to leave their own mark.” As Shyanne looks to her future, she knows that her family’s love and support will continue to be crucial as she fights for greatness. 24．What does Shyanne think of her mother? A．Generous. B．Ambitious. C．Patient. D．Optimistic. 25．What can we learn about Shyanne as a baby from paragraph 3? A．She had a natural talent. B．She was discouraged from playing. C．She was taught basketball by her father. D．She didn’t enjoy playing with her sisters. 26．How did Shyanne start her basketball career? A．She was encouraged by her father. B．Her mother signed her up for a basketball league. C．She was coached by professionals from an early age. D．She started playing after watching a basketball game. 27．What does Brenda appreciate about Shyanne’s parents? A．They support Brenda’s coaching method. B．They let Shyanne make her own decisions. C．They allow Shyanne to play in more games. D．They encourage Shyanne to leave her mark. C Bacteria (细菌) know how to rough it out all over the earth. Ask most of them where they’d truly prefer to settle though, and a kitchen sponge (海绵) would probably top the list. Yes, it turns out that the very tool we use to clean our plates, which is warm, damp, and full of nutritious food pieces, is packed of tiny life. Lingchong You, a biologist at Duke University, along with his team, used computers to model the complex environment of a sponge for a 2022 study. He found that sponges featuring pockets of varying sizes are something that really matters for promoting bacterial growth. This holds significance as certain bacteria tend to grow independently while others demand the companionship of others. Within a sponge filled with holes and pockets, there exist such an abundance of diverse structures that everyone attains a state of satisfaction. Nevertheless, it does not necessarily follow that these tools present a health risk to us as well. Bacteria exist everywhere and not all are harmful; in fact, many perform vital jobs. The important question is, therefore, are the bacteria found in sponges even worth worrying about? In 2017, Jennifer Quinlan, a professor of food safety, and her colleagues, collected kitchen sponges from 100 homes, finding that only 1 – 2% of those sponges contained bacteria linked to food poisoning in humans and the ones that did contained only small amounts of harmful bacteria. “The vast majority of bacteria on sponges do not cause illness, and they’re just going to make them smell.” says Quinlan. “Having said that, there is a possibility that if you use a sponge to wipe up raw meat that you could have some of those disease-causing bacteria on there, and studies have found that those bacteria can be separated from kitchen sponges.” This is not the whole story yet. If dangerous bacteria happen to arrive on the scene, the sponge’s special make-up makes it an ideal place for them to grow and multiply. And there’s evidence this is the case. 28．What can we learn from the first paragraph? A．Sponges are perfect tools in the kitchen. B．Bacteria prefer to live in dry environment. C．Kitchen sponges are good home for bacteria. D．Bacteria affect kitchen sponges’ performance. 29．What did Lingchong You find in his study? A．How sponges are exactly structured. B．What encourages bacterial growth. C．How bacteria react to the environment. D．Why bacteria keep company with each other. 30．What does Quinlan think of bacteria on sponges? A．Relatively harmless. B．Poorly adaptive, C．Surprisingly unpleasant. D．Widely distributed. 31．What will be probably discussed in the following paragraph? A．Proofs of bacterial threat. B．The classification of bacteria. C．Methods to control bacterial growth. D．Research into applications of bacteria. D The rapid spread of AI has people wondering: Who’s most likely to embrace (接受) AI in their daily lives? Many assume it’s those who understand how AI works are most eager to adopt it. Surprisingly, our new research finds the opposite. People with less knowledge about AI are actually more open to using the technology. We call this difference in adoption tendency the “lower literacy-higher receptivity” link. AI now performs tasks we once thought only humans could do. When AI creates a piece of art, writes a heartfelt response, or plays a musical instrument, it can feel almost magical — like it’s crossing into human territory. Of course, AI doesn’t actually possess human qualities. A chatbot might generate an empathetic (同感的) response, but it doesn’t feel empathy. People with more technical knowledge about AI understand this. They know how algorithms (算法), training data, and computational models operate. This makes the technology less magical. On the other hand, those with less understanding may see AI as magical and awe-inspiring. We suggest this sense of magic makes them more open to using AI tools. Our studies show this link is strongest for using AI tools in areas where people associate with human characteristics, like providing emotional support or counseling. When it comes to tasks that don’t cause the same sense of humanlike qualities — such as analyzing test results — the pattern flips. People with higher AI literacy are more receptive to these uses because they focus on AI’s efficiency, rather than any “magical” qualities. Efforts to boost AI literacy might unintentionally dampen people’s enthusiasm for using AI by making it seem less magical. This creates a tricky balance between helping people understand AI and keeping them open to its adoption. To make the most of AI’s potential, businesses, educators and policymakers need to strike this balance. By understanding how perceptions of “magicalness” shape people’s openness to AI, we can help develop new AI-based products and services that take the way people view AI into account, and help them understand the benefits and risks of AI. And ideally, this will happen without causing a loss of the admiration that inspires many people to embrace this new technology. 32．Why are less-informed people more open to AI? A．They trust its moral standards. B．They admire the ability of AI. C．They believe in its superior efficiency. D．They prefer its technical complexity. 33．What does the underlined word “flips” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Breaks down. B．Takes shape. C．Shows up. D．Turns over. 34．What is the tricky situation regarding AI literacy? A．Balancing morals and capability. B．Reducing fear while ensuring safety. C．Familiarizing without losing wonder. D．Prioritizing efficiency over magic. 35．What is the author’s attitude towards using AI? A．Objective. B．Worried. C．Skeptical. D．Dismissive. 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。 I was eleven years old when I spotted my neighbour, Julie, working in her garden. She asked me if I would help her cut back the hedge (树篱) overgrown over the pathway. I agreed and my brother Josh also came along to help us. We wheeled Julie’s garden bin (垃圾桶) down to the hedge. 36 We posted photos of our handiwork on “Our Malmesbury”, our local Facebook Group. The community reaction was amazing. A wheelchair user was so grateful that he didn’t have to go onto the road anymore to pass the hedge. 37 Many people raised their hands to volunteer and do more to keep our town tidy. 38 Before, it looked a bit run down, but now, the place looks cleaner and tidier. Residents comment how amazing the roses look when they flower and make the place brighter. To keep the projects going, I managed to sort funding through local businesses and associations. I used a website online that lists available grants (补助). 39 So Julie applied on our behalf. The funding has helped us obtain trees, plants and gardening equipment. When we first started, everything was done out of my parent’s garage. I started with nothing, just borrowing equipment we already had. But as time went on, donations came in from the local community. 40 It got so big that we had to move this all to Julie’s. Our Facebook Page currently sits at 669 members. I’m so pleased that six years later, the campaign is still in full swing. Our mission won’t stop. A．The whole town was inspired to follow our lead. B．When I first tried to apply, I wasn’t of legal age. C．All three of us tackled away at it until we reduced it. D．With many willing hands, our town has transformed. E．I even won a grant to fund the planting of Queen apple trees. F．This was the beginning of many community projects completed by volunteers. G．Your garage got filled up so quickly with brushes, gardening tools and leaf blowers. 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。 I was nervous when I stood up to compete for the lead role in the annual play.

Though in her late 60s, Agnes still tries hard to take care of herself and run a small farm. However, she is finding herself struggling to maintain all this. One winter morning, as frost painted the windows with delicate designs, Agnes woke up to unsettling silence — The power was out, and so was the heating. “Another signal of struggling,” Agnes thought to herself. Feeling cold, she wrapped herself in a thick coat and decided to go to the local cafe for a cup of coffee and some warmth. As she stepped out into the biting cold, Agnes felt the pain inside her bones. The streets were unusually quiet, with only a few brave souls braving the elements. She made her way to the cafe, her breath visible in the frosty air. Upon entering, she was greeted by the good smell of fresh coffee. She ordered her usual and found a seat by the window. As she drank her coffee, Agnes noticed a young man shaking outside. He seemed to be debating whether to come in or not. The moment she saw his face, she recognized it was Charlie, who used to enjoy coffee in the cafe and pay for her coffee before they started a pleasant conversation. “There must be something wrong with him,” Agnes thought. She decided to buy Charlie a cup of coffee. Holding a steaming cup of coffee, Agnes approached Charlie and offered him the cup. “Here, this might help warm you up,” Agnes said gently. Charlie looked at Agnes with surprise and gratitude. “Thank you,” he stammered, his hands wrapping around the cup as if it were a lifeline. “I…I lost my job and home. I was trying to... find a job...” Agnes patted him on the arm and said softly, “We all have struggles, but there’s always hope.” 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。 With an idea in mind, Agnes invited Charlie into the cafe. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ During his stay with Agnes, Charlie tried to pay back. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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 $$
