Here are some of these famous spots that are essential to understand the city’s complicated past. Eiffel Tower Presented as part of the 1889 World Exposition in Paris, the Eiffel Tower has become the city’s most famous attraction. It is accessible on Line 6 or Line 8 of the Paris Metro by Bir-Hakeim or Trocadéro stations. If possible, avoid visiting this spot at peak hours (10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.) or on weekends, so you can make the most of your visit to enjoy the views from the top. The best moments are right after it first opens on weekdays. Notre-Dame Cathedral Dating back to the 12th century, the Notre-Dame Cathedral has long towered alongside the banks of the Seine River. With its complicated Gothic (哥特式) architectural details, it represents Parisian religion and architecture. Unfortunately, a fire broke out on April 15, 2019, destroying part of it. Visitors are not allowed to enter now. Louvre Museum Louvre Museum is one of the most famous art museums in the world where you can witness the city’s rich painting history from the medieval (中世纪的) period to the present. It is easily accessible on Line 1 from the Palais Royal-Musée du Louvre station. It is closed on Tuesdays as well as January 1, May 1, and December 25 each year. Arc de Triomphe The Arc de Triomphe serves as a national symbol of France, which was built by Napoleon I in celebration of the victory at the Battle of Austerlitz. Take Line 1, 2, or 6 to Charles de Gaulle-Etoile station and you will see the Arc de Triomphe. Visitors can purchase tickets for a tour to the top to enjoy the views of the city. 1. Which is the best time to visit Eiffel Tower? A. At 2:00 p.m., Sunday. B. At 9:00 a.m., Monday. C. At 11:00 a.m., Tuesday. D. At 10:00 a.m., Saturday. 2. Where should visitors go if they are interested in art history? A. Eiffel Tower. B. Louvre Museum. C. Arc de Triomphe. D. Notre-Dame Cathedral. 3. What can be inferred from the listed attractions? A. They require tickets for a tour. B. They are easily accessible by subway. C. They allow visitors to enter on holidays. D. They are spots to show the history of Paris. 【答案】1. B 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了巴黎四个不同时期和建筑风格迥异的历史遗迹。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第三句“If possible, avoid visiting this spot at peak hours (10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.) or on weekends, so you can make the most of your visit to enjoy the views from the top. The best moments are right after it first opens on weekdays.(如果可能的话，避免在高峰时间(上午10点至下午5点)或周末参观这个地方，这样你就可以充分利用你的参观来欣赏顶部的景色。最好的时刻是在工作日刚开门的时候。)”可知，应避免在高峰期和周末参观Eiffel Tower，且最好的参观时间是在它刚开门的时候，因此“周一上午九点”是最好的游览时间。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Louvre Museum is one of the most famous art museums in the world where you can witness the city’s rich painting history from the medieval (中世纪的) period to the present. (卢浮宫博物馆是世界上最著名的艺术博物馆之一，在这里你可以见证这座城市从中世纪到现在丰富的绘画历史。)”可知，卢浮宫博物馆是了解从中世纪开始到现在的绘画历史的地方。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。通读全文，尤其根据第一段末句“Here are some of these famous spots that are essential to understand the city’s complicated past. (这里有一些著名的景点，对于了解这座城市复杂的过去是必不可少的。)”可知，本文展示了关于巴黎历史的一些景点。故选D。 B When my daughter was seven years old, she came home from soccer practice clearly downhearted. When asked, she told me what a teammate said: her teeth were too yellow. My heart broke for her. As parents, we try to keep our children safe, but we can’t always be there to protect our kids from unkind words. I tried to comfort my daughter. I told her that she has a beautiful smile with nice, strong, healthy teeth. I explained why she shouldn’t let someone else’s criticisms define her. On the inside, though, I worried. From my youth, I’ve struggled with the concept that my self-worth was directly related to my physical appearance. When I became a mom, I was terrified that this concept would take root in my daughter. I wanted to protect her little ears from unkind words that might influence her idea of self-worth. I wanted to shield her little eyes from unrealistic beauty standards promoted by magazines, television, and movies. I wanted to guard her little heart from being broken by the idea that she didn’t live up to the standards in some way. On social media, the battle became exceptionally greater. Every day we are bombarded (轰炸) with people living their “best life”, all told through filters (过滤器) which only highlight the “best” parts: best angles, best locations, best outfits, and best hair. Rarely do we get a glimpse of reality. On social media, outer beauty controls everything. How, then, can we teach our kids that they are much more than their appearance? We can start by modeling kindness, empathy, and self-acceptance in our own lives. Kids are incredible mimics (模仿者), so be mindful of what you say, even when you think your kids aren’t listening. If we are constantly putting ourselves down, our kids will follow suit. Instead, adopt a positive attitude when it comes to your own self-worth. Additionally, try to teach your children to see the inner beauty in themselves and in others. There’s beauty in strength, goodness, gentleness, perseverance, and kindness. Praise kids for their acts of kindness, like sharing with a friend or helping a family member without being asked, and talk to them about how it makes them feel. 4. How did the author react to her daughter’s trouble? A. Thrilled. B. Apologetic. C. Sorrowful. D. Curious. 5. What does the underlined word shield probably mean in paragraph 2? A. Cure. B. Fix. C. Broaden. D. Protect. 6. What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A. Everything in social media is not true. B. Social media reflects an unrealistic world. C. People like to share their privacy in social media. D. People attach more importance to their physical appearance. 7. What should parents do to their kids? A. Tell them to behave themselves. B. Praise their kids for their appearance. C. Set a positive example for their kids. D. Encourage their kids to ignore the outer beauty. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章通过女儿被队友的话语伤害这件事儿引发了对于孩子自我价值教育的思考。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“When asked, she told me what a teammate said: her teeth were too yellow. My heart broke for her.(当我问她时，她告诉我，一个队友说她牙齿黄。我为她感到心碎。)”可知，作者在听到女儿的苦恼后，作者心碎了，故作者是伤心的，故选C。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词shield前文内容“I wanted to protect her little ears from unkind words that might influence her idea of self-worth.(我想要保护她的耳朵，不去听到那些可能会影响她的自我价值的那些不友好的话语。)”可推知，此处划线词所在的句子与前文构成排比，故此处的划线词shield与前文内容中的protect意思相近，意为“保护她的眼镜不看到那些杂志、电视和电影呈现的不真实的美”，故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“On social media, the battle became exceptionally greater. Every day we are bombarded (轰炸) with people living their “best life”, all told through filters (过滤器) which only highlight the “best” parts: best angles, best locations, best outfits, and best hair. Rarely do we get a glimpse of reality.(在社交媒体上，这场战斗变得异常激烈。每天我们都那些被人们过着‘最好的生活’所轰炸，所有都是过滤后只突出‘最好’的那部分：最佳角度、最佳位置、最佳服装和最佳发型。我们很少能看到现实。)”可推知，媒体上呈现的都是过滤后的“最好”的东西，我们很少能看到现实的东西，故媒体上的东西并非都是现实的，故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Kids are incredible mimics (模仿者), so be mindful of what you say, even when you think your kids aren’t listening. If we are constantly putting ourselves down, our kids will follow suit. Instead, adopt a positive attitude when it comes to your own self-worth. Additionally, try to teach your children to see the inner beauty in themselves and in others.(孩子是令人难以置信的模仿者，因此要注意你的言语，即使当你在孩子没有在听的时候。如果我们不断地贬低自己，我们的孩子也会效仿。相反，当谈到自我价值时，要采取积极的态度。而且，努力教会你的孩子看到自己和他人的内在美。)”可知，孩子是一个模仿者，因此当谈到自我价值时，我们要积极面对，孩子才能效仿我们，也同样积极面对，因此我们应给孩子树立一个正确的榜样，故选C。 C French company Airseas, has promised to help cargo (货物) ships reduce their fuel consumption, and cut their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by an average of 20%. And they’re doing this with the Seawing—a 1,000 square meter kite that will fly 300 meters (984 feet) above the water’s surface. So the globul shipping industry is apparently rediscovering the joy and efficiency of sails. The large, ship-sized kite is currently being developed, and the company plans to open a factory to produce the Seawing in 2026. Once manufactured, Airseas has promised that launching and operating a Seawing on a cargo vessel will be automated, making it easy to use for crews. The kite and the equipment that launches it are mounted on a boat’s deck, and the crew can simply press some buttons and a large kite will rise into the sky. That’s not to say that the cargo ships won’t use their engines at all, but the kite will take some pressure off of those engines and will reduce the need for fuel. The wind will move the ship, just like it did for hundreds of years in the old days before industrialization. Lowering emissions by 20% may not seem like a big deal, but moving vast amounts of goods back and forth on the high seas creates 3% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. That’s more than the airline industry, which produced about 2% of the world’s emissions in 2021, according to the International Energy Agency. Shipping is also a massive industry, and one worth focusing on for lowering emissions. About 90% of the world’s traded goods are moved around via shipping vessels (大船), according to the International Chamber of Shipping. Some companies are expecting this new version of sails. Japanese shipping company, “K” Line has placed orders for the Seawing kite, and the European Union has also invested more than $2 million in funding. 8. What is French company Airseas trying to do? A. Participate in kite-flying competitions. B. Make sea exploration easy and joyful. C. Produce big kites to be used for sailing D. Ship cargoes with low fuel consumption. 9. What’s the feature of the Seawing? A. It will completely replace engines. B. It will be a light-weight device. C. It will be easily operated by crews. D. It will follow the cargo vessel at sea. 10. Why is the airline industry mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To confirm a prediction. B. To make a comparison. C. To lead in a new topic. D. To analyze cause and effect. 11. What is the best title of the text? A. The shipping industry is getting popular again. B. The GHG emissions are being greatly reduced. C. Seawing factories are to be opened in Europe, D. Kites on boat are helping cut shipping emissions. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是法国Airseas公司正在研发一种大型风筝以帮助轮船减少油耗，降低温室气体排放。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“French company Airseas, has promised to help cargo (货物) ships reduce their fuel consumption, and cut their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by an average of 20%. And they’re doing this with the Seawing—a 1,000 square meter kite that will fly 300 meters (984 feet) above the water’s surface.(法国公司Airseas承诺帮助货船减少燃料消耗，并将其温室气体排放量平均减少20%。他们正在用一个1000平方米的风筝来做这件事，它将在水面以上300米（984英尺）的地方飞行。)”及第二段首句“The large, ship-sized kite is currently being developed, and the company plans to open a factory to produce the Seawing in 2026.(目前正在开发船舶大小的大型风筝，该公司计划在2026年开设生产Seawing的工厂。)”可知，法国航空公司想制作用于航海的大风筝，故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Once manufactured, Airseas has promised that launching and operating a Seawing on a cargo vessel will be automated, making it easy to use for crews. The kite and the equipment that launches it are mounted on a boat’s deck, and the crew can simply press some buttons and a large kite will rise into the sky.(一旦制造出来，Airseas承诺在货船上发射和操作Seawing将是自动化的，使其易于船员使用。风筝和发射它的设备安装在船的甲板上，船员只需按几个按钮，一个大风筝就会升上天空。)”可知，在货船上发射和操作 Seawing将是自动化，风等设备就在船的甲板上，船员按几个按钮风筝就能升空。简言之, Seawing 的特点就是容易操作。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Lowering emissions by 20% may not seem like a big deal, but moving vast amounts of goods back and forth on the high seas creates 3% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. That’s more than the airline industry, which produced about 2% of the world’s emissions in 2021(减少20%的排放量似乎不是什么大事，但在公海上来回运输大量货物产生的温室气体排放量占世界温室气体排放量的3%。这比航空业还要多，航空业在2021年的排放量约占全球的2%)”可知，将排放量减少20%似乎不是什么大不了的事，但在公海上来回运输大量货物造成了世界3%的温室气体排放，这比航空业还多，航空业在2021年的排放量约占世界的2%。由此推断，该段提到航空业是为了进行对比说明。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“French company Airseas, has promised to help cargo (货物) ships reduce their fuel consumption, and cut their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by an average of 20%. And they’re doing this with the Seawing—a 1,000 square meter kite that will fly 300 meters (984 feet) above the water’s surface.(法国公司Airseas承诺帮助货船减少燃料消耗，并将其温室气体排放量平均减少20%。他们正在用一个1000平方米的风筝来做这件事，它将在水面以上300米（984英尺）的地方飞行。)”可知，文章主要介绍法国Airseas公司正在研发一种在水面上方300米处飞行的1000平方米的风筝，可以帮助轮船降低20%的温室气体排放，因此最好的题目是D选项“Kites on boat are helping cut shipping emissions.(船上的风筝有助于减少航运排放。)”。故选D。 D Interspecies was once a technical term used in science to describe how one species got along with another. Now it is a word of more consequence: it arouses the new connections between humans and non-humans that are being made possible by technology. In Ways of Being, James Bridle, a British artist and technology writer, explores what this means for understanding the many non-human intelligences on Earth. Mr Bridle makes clear that three kinds of minds are now interacting: human, non-human and machine. Using artificial intelligence (AI), machines will in future have the capability to interpose (使介入) themselves as translators between humans and other biological life forms. It is true that profit is the main motive for advances in AI; as yet nature does not get much of a look in, and non-human intelligences go unexplored outside zoology departments. Computing is as focused on humans as ever, even as climate change and biodiversity-loss suggest it should devote much greater attention to other species. The first step towards an interspecies future, Mr Bridle argues, is showing more appreciation for other forms of intelligence. To some extent, this is already happening. For example, through films and other initiatives many people now know that octopuses (章鱼) have an advanced and strange intelligence. The next step, Mr Bridle declares, is recognizing that people live in a “more than human” world. Other intelligences have developed from a common evolutionary base, and they overlap (重叠) in ways that science is just beginning to discover. Ways of Being would have benefited from sharper editing. Yet, in making clear the patience, imagination and humility required to better know and protect other forms of intelligence on Earth, he has made an admirable contribution to the dawning interspecies age. 12. Which of the following best illustrates the term “interspecies”? A. A wolf hunts a rabbit. B. A robot does housework. C. A lady walks her dog. D. A boy records a video for squirrels. 13. What does AI lay emphasis on nowadays? A. Biodiversity. B. Other species. C. Humans. D. Climate change. 14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The characteristics of species evolution. B. Expectations for the future development of AI. C. Suggestions on future exploration of interspecies. D. The importance of appreciation for other forms of intelligence. 15. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to Ways of Being? A. Skeptical. B. Favorable. C. Tolerant. D. Conservative. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能正在改变人们与其他生物之间的关系。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Interspecies was once a technical term used in science to describe how one species got along with another. Now it is a word of more consequence: it arouses the new connections between humans and non-humans that are being made possible by technology. (种间关系曾经是一个科学术语，用来描述一个物种如何与另一个物种相处。现在，它是一个更重要的词：它唤起了人类和非人类之间的新联系，而这种联系正因技术而成为可能)”可知，“种间关系”这个术语是指人类和非人类之间的新联系。由此推断，“一个男孩给松鼠录了一段视频”最能说明这个术语所表述的含义。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Computing is as focused on humans as ever, even as climate change and biodiversity-loss suggest it should devote much greater attention to other species. (尽管气候变化和生物多样性丧失表明计算机应该更多地关注其他物种，但它仍然一如既往地关注人类)”可知，现在人工智能的重点是人类。故选C。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“The first step towards an interspecies future, Mr Bridle argues, is showing more appreciation for other forms of intelligence. (布瑞德先生认为，迈向跨物种未来的第一步是对其他形式的智力表现出更多的欣赏)”可知，本段主要介绍对未来物种间探索的建议。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ways of Being would have benefited from sharper editing. Yet, in making clear the patience, imagination and humility required to better know and protect other forms of intelligence on Earth, he has made an admirable contribution to the dawning interspecies age. (《存在之道》本可以从更尖锐的剪辑中获益。然而，在阐明更好地了解和保护地球上其他形式的智能所需的耐心、想象力和谦逊方面，他为跨物种时代的到来做出了令人钦佩的贡献)”可推断，作者对《存在之道》的态度是赞同的。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How Laughing at Yourself Makes You Attractive Have you ever embarrassed yourself in public and were laughed at for it? ___16___ And it’s okay — we should even have a laugh about them.

She especially did not want to go on a long hike in the mountains that led to a tiny cabin (小木屋) with no electricity and no running water. She wanted to stay home reading a book instead while wrapped in a warm blanket. “Ready?” Mom asked cheerfully after breakfast. Edun looked out the window and only saw rain, lots of it. “We should go another day,” Edun suggested. “Maybe a hundred years from now.” She worried she would get tired on the hike. She worried about getting bored at the dark cabin. Mom said it was time to stop worrying and get into the car. Edun’s brother, Will, was waiting in the garage, who wore a camera around his neck. Will was four years older than Edun and had climbed many more mountains. He’d started hiking when he was two and loved it. Because it was raining, Edun had to wear her rain pants, her rain hat, her rain jacket, and her waterproof boots. Her jacket had a rough material on the inside. She didn’t like how it felt against her skin. After about half an hour’s drive, they parked at a trailhead (登山口). The rain had stopped but the ground was still dripping(滴下) wet. “We’ll be there by afternoon!” Mom promised. The afternoon sounded far away. Will identified a bird sitting on a nearby branch—“Fox sparrow!”—then he raced down the trail and was soon out of sight. Edun rested under a pine tree. “You can’t force me to walk,” Edun said. “You’re right,” said her mom smilingly, standing under the tree, too, “But you will never know what may lie ahead and amaze us.” 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好; Paragraph 1: Thinking Mom was right, Edun followed her down the trail. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Twenty minutes later, they saw the cabin. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Thinking Mom was right, Edun followed her down the trail. They passed a waterfall, tiny yet clear. The trickling of water made Edun feel better. To her amazement, as they walked on, there was always something to look for in the wet green woods: animal tracks, wildflowers, little creeks. Soon they caught up with Will, who eagerly showed them the photos he took of the Fox sparrow resting on a branch. Together they went on, strolling past scratchy bushes, climbing over gray rocks and hiking through dwarf trees. Edun loomed above those little trees, exclaiming, “Look, Mom, I’m a giant.” Unknowingly they had already done most of the climb. Paragraph 2: Twenty minutes later, they saw the cabin. Edun and Will started racing up the hill. Finally, there they were in the small but cozy cabin. Through its window, Edun saw faraway meadows and lakes, and many more mountains, a whole new world emerging before her eyes. That night, everybody stayed up late to see the stars. So many stars clustering up there, Edun proposed, “I need to take a picture of them.” “Click!” The camera froze the moment. Radiant with a smile, Edun approached Mom and hugged her, whispering, “Mom, thank you for having me come!” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了艾顿不想去山里远足，但还是和家人一起出发了，由于下雨而不得不穿上的雨衣使得艾顿感觉不舒适。半小时后，他们到达了登山口，威尔沿着小路去追小鸟，艾顿想要停下休息，妈妈告诉艾顿，如果不继续走，就永远不会知道前方有什么能使他们惊讶。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“艾顿认为妈妈是对的，就跟着她走了。”可知，第一段可描写艾顿继续前行，看到了美丽的风景，不知不觉间，已经完成了大部分攀登。 ②由第二段首句内容“二十分钟后，他们看到了小屋。”可知，第二段可描写他们来到小屋，晚上看星星，艾顿感谢妈妈邀请自己来。 2.续写线索：继续前行——美丽的风景——完成大部分攀登——到达小屋——看星星——感激 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①寻找：look for/search for/seek ②继续前行：go on/move on/keep on moving ③拥抱：hug/embrace/hold in one’s arms 情绪类 ①舒适的：cozy/comfortable ②面带微笑：radiant with a smile/with a smiling face 【点睛】【高分句型1】To her amazement, as they walked on, there was always something to look for in the wet green woods: animal tracks, wildflowers, little creeks.(由连接词as引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】Soon they caught up with Will, who eagerly showed them the photos he took of the Fox sparrow resting on a branch.(由关系代词who引导的非限制性定语从句，省略的关系代词that引导的限制性定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 市县高中23级高二期末联考 英语试题卷 （满分150分，考试用时120分钟） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。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.

Here are some of these famous spots that are essential to understand the city’s complicated past. Eiffel Tower Presented as part of the 1889 World Exposition in Paris, the Eiffel Tower has become the city’s most famous attraction. It is accessible on Line 6 or Line 8 of the Paris Metro by Bir-Hakeim or Trocadéro stations. If possible, avoid visiting this spot at peak hours (10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.) or on weekends, so you can make the most of your visit to enjoy the views from the top. The best moments are right after it first opens on weekdays. Notre-Dame Cathedral Dating back to the 12th century, the Notre-Dame Cathedral has long towered alongside the banks of the Seine River. With its complicated Gothic (哥特式的) architectural details, it represents Parisian religion and architecture. Unfortunately, a fire broke out on April 15, 2019, destroying part of it. Visitors are not allowed to enter now. Louvre Museum Louvre Museum is one of the most famous art museums in the world where you can witness the city’s rich painting history from the medieval (中世纪的) period to the present. It is easily accessible on Line 1 from the Palais Royal-Musée du Louvre station. It is closed on Tuesdays as well as January 1, May 1, and December 25 each year. Arc de Triomphe The Arc de Triomphe serves as a national symbol of France, which was built by Napoleon I in celebration of the victory at the Battle of Austerlitz. Take Line 1, 2, or 6 to Charles de Gaulle-Etoile station and you will see the Arc de Triomphe. Visitors can purchase tickets for a tour to the top to enjoy the views of the city. 1. Which is the best time to visit Eiffel Tower? A. At 2:00 p.m., Sunday. B. At 9:00 a.m., Monday. C. At 11:00 a.m., Tuesday. D. At 10:00 a.m., Saturday. 2 Where should visitors go if they are interested in art history? A. Eiffel Tower. B. Louvre Museum. C. Arc de Triomphe. D. Notre-Dame Cathedral. 3. What can be inferred from the listed attractions? A. They require tickets for a tour. B. They are easily accessible by subway. C. They allow visitors to enter on holidays. D. They are spots to show the history of Paris. B When my daughter was seven years old, she came home from soccer practice clearly downhearted. When asked, she told me what a teammate said: her teeth were too yellow. My heart broke for her. As parents, we try to keep our children safe, but we can’t always be there to protect our kids from unkind words. I tried to comfort my daughter. I told her that she has a beautiful smile with nice, strong, healthy teeth. I explained why she shouldn’t let someone else’s criticisms define her. On the inside, though, I worried. From my youth, I’ve struggled with the concept that my self-worth was directly related to my physical appearance. When I became a mom, I was terrified that this concept would take root in my daughter. I wanted to protect her little ears from unkind words that might influence her idea of self-worth. I wanted to shield her little eyes from unrealistic beauty standards promoted by magazines, television, and movies. I wanted to guard her little heart from being broken by the idea that she didn’t live up to the standards in some way. On social media, the battle became exceptionally greater. Every day we are bombarded (轰炸) with people living their “best life”, all told through filters (过滤器) which only highlight the “best” parts: best angles, best locations, best outfits, and best hair. Rarely do we get a glimpse of reality. On social media, outer beauty controls everything. How, then, can we teach our kids that they are much more than their appearance? We can start by modeling kindness, empathy, and self-acceptance in our own lives. Kids are incredible mimics (模仿者), so be mindful of what you say, even when you think your kids aren’t listening. If we are constantly putting ourselves down, our kids will follow suit. Instead, adopt a positive attitude when it comes to your own self-worth. Additionally, try to teach your children to see the inner beauty in themselves and in others. There’s beauty in strength, goodness, gentleness, perseverance, and kindness. Praise kids for their acts of kindness, like sharing with a friend or helping a family member without being asked, and talk to them about how it makes them feel. 4. How did the author react to her daughter’s trouble? A. Thrilled. B. Apologetic. C. Sorrowful. D. Curious. 5. What does the underlined word shield probably mean in paragraph 2? A. Cure. B. Fix. C. Broaden. D. Protect. 6. What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A. Everything in social media is not true. B. Social media reflects an unrealistic world. C. People like to share their privacy in social media. D. People attach more importance to their physical appearance. 7. What should parents do to their kids? A. Tell them to behave themselves. B. Praise their kids for their appearance. C. Set a positive example for their kids. D. Encourage their kids to ignore the outer beauty. C French company Airseas, has promised to help cargo (货物) ships reduce their fuel consumption, and cut their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by an average of 20%. And they’re doing this with the Seawing—a 1,000 square meter kite that will fly 300 meters (984 feet) above the water’s surface. So the globul shipping industry is apparently rediscovering the joy and efficiency of sails. The large, ship-sized kite is currently being developed, and the company plans to open a factory to produce the Seawing in 2026. Once manufactured, Airseas has promised that launching and operating a Seawing on a cargo vessel will be automated, making it easy to use for crews. The kite and the equipment that launches it are mounted on a boat’s deck, and the crew can simply press some buttons and a large kite will rise into the sky. That’s not to say that the cargo ships won’t use their engines at all, but the kite will take some pressure off of those engines and will reduce the need for fuel. The wind will move the ship, just like it did for hundreds of years in the old days before industrialization. Lowering emissions by 20% may not seem like a big deal, but moving vast amounts of goods back and forth on the high seas creates 3% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. That’s more than the airline industry, which produced about 2% of the world’s emissions in 2021, according to the International Energy Agency. Shipping is also a massive industry, and one worth focusing on for lowering emissions. About 90% of the world’s traded goods are moved around via shipping vessels (大船), according to the International Chamber of Shipping. Some companies are expecting this new version of sails. Japanese shipping company, “K” Line has placed orders for the Seawing kite, and the European Union has also invested more than $2 million in funding. 8. What is French company Airseas trying to do? A. Participate in kite-flying competitions. B. Make sea exploration easy and joyful. C. Produce big kites to be used for sailing D. Ship cargoes with low fuel consumption. 9. What’s the feature of the Seawing? A. It will completely replace engines. B. It will be a light-weight device. C. It will be easily operated by crews. D. It will follow the cargo vessel at sea. 10. Why is the airline industry mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To confirm a prediction. B. To make a comparison. C. To lead in a new topic. D. To analyze cause and effect. 11. What is the best title of the text? A. The shipping industry is getting popular again. B The GHG emissions are being greatly reduced. C. Seawing factories are to be opened in Europe, D. Kites on boat are helping cut shipping emissions. D Interspecies was once a technical term used in science to describe how one species got along with another. Now it is a word of more consequence: it arouses the new connections between humans and non-humans that are being made possible by technology. In Ways of Being, James Bridle, a British artist and technology writer, explores what this means for understanding the many non-human intelligences on Earth. Mr Bridle makes clear that three kinds of minds are now interacting: human, non-human and machine. Using artificial intelligence (AI), machines will in future have the capability to interpose (使介入) themselves as translators between humans and other biological life forms. It is true that profit is the main motive for advances in AI; as yet nature does not get much of a look in, and non-human intelligences go unexplored outside zoology departments. Computing is as focused on humans as ever, even as climate change and biodiversity-loss suggest it should devote much greater attention to other species. The first step towards an interspecies future, Mr Bridle argues, is showing more appreciation for other forms of intelligence. To some extent, this is already happening. For example, through films and other initiatives many people now know that octopuses (章鱼) have an advanced and strange intelligence. The next step, Mr Bridle declares, is recognizing that people live in a “more than human” world. Other intelligences have developed from a common evolutionary base, and they overlap (重叠) in ways that science is just beginning to discover. Ways of Being would have benefited from sharper editing. Yet, in making clear the patience, imagination and humility required to better know and protect other forms of intelligence on Earth, he has made an admirable contribution to the dawning interspecies age. 12. Which of the following best illustrates the term “interspecies”? A. A wolf hunts a rabbit. B. A robot does housework. C. A lady walks her dog. D. A boy records a video for squirrels. 13. What does AI lay emphasis on nowadays? A. Biodiversity. B. Other species. C. Humans. D. Climate change. 14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The characteristics of species evolution. B. Expectations for the future development of AI. C. Suggestions on future exploration of interspecies. D. The importance of appreciation for other forms of intelligence. 15 Which word best describes the author’s attitude to Ways of Being? A. Skeptical. B. Favorable. C. Tolerant. D. Conservative. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How Laughing at Yourself Makes You Attractive Have you ever embarrassed yourself in public and were laughed at for it? ___16___ And it’s okay — we should even have a laugh about them.

She especially did not want to go on a long hike in the mountains that led to a tiny cabin (小木屋) with no electricity and no running water. She wanted to stay home reading a book instead while wrapped in a warm blanket. “Ready?” Mom asked cheerfully after breakfast. Edun looked out the window and only saw rain, lots of it. “We should go another day,” Edun suggested. “Maybe a hundred years from now.” She worried she would get tired on the hike. She worried about getting bored at the dark cabin. Mom said it was time to stop worrying and get into the car. Edun’s brother, Will, was waiting in the garage, who wore a camera around his neck. Will was four years older than Edun and had climbed many more mountains. He’d started hiking when he was two and loved it. Because it was raining, Edun had to wear her rain pants, her rain hat, her rain jacket, and her waterproof boots. Her jacket had a rough material on the inside. She didn’t like how it felt against her skin. After about half an hour’s drive, they parked at a trailhead (登山口). The rain had stopped but the ground was still dripping(滴下) wet. “We’ll be there by afternoon!” Mom promised. The afternoon sounded far away. Will identified a bird sitting on a nearby branch—“Fox sparrow!”—then he raced down the trail and was soon out of sight. Edun rested under a pine tree. “You can’t force me to walk,” Edun said. “You’re right,” said her mom smilingly, standing under the tree, too, “But you will never know what may lie ahead and amaze us.” 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好; Paragraph 1: Thinking Mom was right, Edun followed her down the trail. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Twenty minutes later, they saw the cabin. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
