A notice board B For Wilson Bentley, the late-nineteenth-and-early-twentieth-century microphotographic innovator and genuine snowflake enthusiast, considering the dazzling array of kaleidoscopic (万花筒般的) snow-crystal formations was a recreation that never lost its lustre. Bentley was born in 1865 and raised on a farm in Jericho, Vermont. His father and brother spent their days tending to the property. Bentley was expected to pitch in, too, but he was more interested in studying the land than in working it. He first tried his hand at drawing the snowflakes, but found that they were too elaborate for him to reproduce with adequate precision. Eventually, he got the idea to capture them photographically instead, but he ran into a significant hurdle: the camera that he needed would cost a princely sum. After two years of waiting, he persuaded his parents to use part of an inheritance they’d received after the death of Bentley’s grandmother to gift him a view camera for his seventeenth birthday. When the standard camera lens could not focus as closely as Bentley needed, he devised an ingenious solution, jury-rigging his beloved microscope to the camera’s accordion-like bellows. His other tools, he later noted in a piece he wrote for the magazine Popular Mechanics, were humble: “a pair of thick mittens, microscope slides, a sharp pointed wood splint, a feather, and a turkey wing or similar duster.” Recently, the physicist Kenneth Libbrecht has been refining the art of the lab-grown snowflake, and has managed to expand Nakaya’s typology to thirty-five categories. Libbrecht’s snowflake photographs, also inspired by Bentley, were compiled in his book “Field Guide to Snowflakes,” and have been featured on stamps issued by the United States Postal Service. In the book, Libbrecht writes that you don’t have to be a scientist or a photographer to enjoy studying snowflakes. At the very least, “pulling out your magnifier (放大镜) is definitely a conversation starter.” 4. Why did Bentley abandon the method of hand-drawing snowflakes? A. He lacked proper drawing materials. B. An elaborate camera was unaffordable. C. He failed to persuade his parents two years ago. D. Snowflakes are too complex to reproduce accurately. 5. Which of the following can best describe Wilson Bentley? A. Curious and persistent. B. Impatient and reckless. C. Wealthy and dedicated. D. Humble and creative. 6. What does Kenneth Libbrecht imply? A. Using a magnifier is essential for professional scientific research. B. Studying snowflakes requires historical knowledge of Bentley’s work. C. Observing snowflakes is for anyone as long as you take action. D. Magnifiers are outdated tools compared to modern lab equipment. 7. Which can be the best title for this text? A. Wilson Bentley: Who Updated the Magnifier B. A Snowflake Obsessive: Who Captured the Unique Beauty of Snowflakes C. A Farmer’s Journey: How Wilson Bentley Changed Photography D. Snowflakes in Art: How Nature Inspires Creativity C We know that being physically and emotionally present for children is critical. New research from a team of behavioral scientists in the UK suggests that there is a direct, significant relationship between the way parents relate to food and their children’s food practices. In the studies, parents were assessed and sorted into four different types of food relationships: typical eating, greedy eating, emotional eating, and avoidant eating. The parents then provided information about the eating behaviors of their 3-to-6-year-old children. About 40% of the parents were typical eaters, without any severe or intense behaviors related to food. The greedy eaters—about 37%—were parents whose decision to eat was more heavily guided by cues from the environment and their emotions, rather than their own hunger cues. They scored low on satiety responsiveness(饱腹感反应)and slowness in eating measures. Almost 16% of the parents were emotional eaters, who ate in response to emotion more than any other cues and were more likely to engage in emotional overeating. The remaining parents(6%)were avoidant eaters who did not enjoy food as much as the others and were picky about food selections. Children tended to have a similar food relationship as their parents. The similarity in food relationship style was especially evident in those who had greedy or avoidant eating behaviors. Parents with an greedy or emotional style of food relationship tended to use food for emotional regulation more than parents with typical eating behaviors, which correlated with their children also having a greedy or emotional food relationship. These parents were also less likely to create a healthy, positive food environment at home. When the food environment was not healthy, children were more likely to have avoidant relationships with food. The findings from these data analyses provide insight into the tightly bound nature of parent and child food relationships, especially in regard to emotional regulation. Though behaviors can be changed at any point in life, it is arguably easier to move toward adulthood with healthy food behaviors that were established in childhood, rather than reconfigure those habits as an adult. Given the major influence of parental food relationships on children suggested by this research, perhaps more continued work in this field can function as a catalyst for parents to establish healthier food relationships—first for themselves, and then for their children. 8. How did researchers categorize these parents? A. By tracking long-term dietary changes. B. Through experiments on hunger cues. C. Via children’s feedback on family meals. D. By evaluating their eating behaviors. 9. Which one of the following is more likely to be a greedy eating parent? A. Jack, whose dietary decision is often affected by hunger cues. B. Mary who tends to overeat emotionally. C. Amy, who is sensitive to the surroundings and moods. D. John, who is very particular about his food choices. 10. What can we learn about the findings of this research? A. Avoidant-eating parents raise children who overeat emotionally. B. Children mirror parents’ eating styles, especially greedy and avoidant types. C. Typical-eating parents create unhealthy food environments for children. D. Emotional-eating parents prioritize children’s hunger cues. 11. What suggestion does the research give for parents? A. Improve their own food habits before guiding children. B. Strictly monitor children’s eating behaviors in their childhood. C. Isolate children from emotional eating triggers. D. Help children reconfigure their habits as they grow older. D Unlike the closed systems of major artificial intelligence companies in the United States, the Chinese startup sensation DeepSeek has embraced an opensource approach. That path is seen by some as fostering collaboration and experimentation that could lead to faster breakthroughs. Its web-based chat interface and mobile app are free to use. The strategy contrasts sharply with companies like OpenAI, which keep their models proprietary and charge monthly fees for access. DeepSeek’s approach has garnered strong support, with opensource advocates saying that the US could advance by embracing the cheaper, more accessible strategy. The company has demonstrated that AI breakthroughs can be achieved through innovation rather than sheer computing power, challenging the established paradigms of AI development and sending shock waves through Silicon Valley, Wall Street and Washington. DeepSeek, based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, has captured worldwide attention over the past two weeks with the release of two large language models that rival the performance of the dominant tools developed by US tech giants — but at a fraction(微量)of the cost and with far less computing power. The company achieved remarkable results with an investment of less than $6 million and approximately 2,000 less sophisticated chips. For comparison, Meta’s latest Llama 3.1 model required 16,000 of Nvidia’s advanced H100 chips for training — chips that are currently prohibited for use by Chinese companies under US export controls. Facing the constraint of high-performing chips, DeepSeek developed creative methods to train its models on less advanced chips through optimizations in model architecture, training procedures and hardware management. Rather than viewing DeepSeek as an adversary, US companies should see its breakthrough as an opportunity to pursue innovation in a different direction, experts say. Kat Duffy, senior fellow for digital and cyberspace policy at the Council on Foreign Relations, said that these innovative methods highlight a downside to the US’ approach to AI. “The focus in the American innovation environment on developing artificial general intelligence and building larger and larger models is not consistent with the needs of most countries around the world,” she said in an article published by her organization. “The more the United States pushes Chinese developers to build within a highly constrained environment, the more it risks positioning China as the global leader in developing cost-effective, energy-saving approaches to AI,” Duffy said. 12. What is mentioned as DeepSeek’s key advantage over US AI companies? A. Its models feature greater computing power at a low cost. B. It employs a proprietary strategy to ensure higher profits. C. It adopts an opensource strategy with significantly lower costs. D. It aims to foster collaboration and experimentation. 13. The underlined word “constraint” in the passage is closest in meaning to_________. A. availability B. restriction C. demand D. emergence 14. What can be inferred from Kat Duffy’s words about the US approach to AI development? A. The US should prioritize building even larger AI models to maintain dominance. B. The US strategy meets the practical demands of most nations effectively. C. Most countries urgently require advanced artificial general intelligence. D. US restrictions may unintentionally strengthen China’s leadership in practical AI solutions. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. China’s AI innovation challenges US dominance. B. Deepseek’s open-source strategy boosts global cooperation. C. Computing power determines AI development. D. US needs to change the focus of its innovation environment. 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.

For five exhausting days everything had gone wrong. Our hotels were “tourist traps”; our rented car broke down; we were all restless in the crowded car. On Christmas Eve, when we checked into a dim hotel in Nice, there was no Christmas spirit in our hearts. It was raining and cold when we went out to eat. We found a restaurant with little decoration for the holiday. Only three tables in the restaurant were occupied. A German family, a French couple, and an American sailor, alone. In the corner a piano player lazily played Christmas music. Tired and miserable, I looked around and noticed that the other customers were eating in stony silence. The only person who seemed happy was the American sailor. While eating, he was writing a letter, and a half-smile lighted his face. My wife ordered our meal in French. The waiter brought us the wrong thing. I scolded my wife for being stupid. Her eyes were filled with tears. The boys defended her, and I felt even worse. On the left, the German father slapped one of his children for some minor fault, and the boy began to cry. On our right, the French wife began complaining to her husband. Just then, through the front door came an old French flower woman. She wore a dripping overcoat, and dragged her legs in on worn-out shoes. Carrying her basket of flowers, she went from one table to the other. “Flowers, monsieur? Only one franc.” No one bought any. Exhausted, she sat down at a table. To the waiter she said, “A bowl of soup. I haven’t sold a flower all afternoon.” To the piano player she said, “Can you imagine, Joseph, soup on Christmas Eve?” Joseph pointed to his empty “tipping plate”. 注意： 1. 续写的词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Before long, the young sailor finished his meal and walked over to the flower woman’s table. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A few seconds later, Christmas exploded throughout the restaurant like a bomb. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 绝密★考试结束前 浙江省金兰教育合作组织2024学年第二学期期中考试 高二年级英语学科试题 考生须知: 1. 本卷共10页满分150分, 考试时间120分钟。 2. 答题前, 在答题卷指定区域填写班级、姓名、考场号、座位号及准考证号并填涂相应数字。 3. 所有答案必须写在答题纸上, 写在试卷上无效。 4. 考试结束后, 只需上交答题纸. 选择题部分 第一部分听力(共两节, 满分30分) 第一节(共5小题; 每小题1.5分, 满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题, 从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项, 并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后, 你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Bentley was born in 1865 and raised on a farm in Jericho, Vermont. His father and brother spent their days tending to the property. Bentley was expected to pitch in, too, but he was more interested in studying the land than in working it. He first tried his hand at drawing the snowflakes, but found that they were too elaborate for him to reproduce with adequate precision. Eventually, he got the idea to capture them photographically instead, but he ran into a significant hurdle: the camera that he needed would cost a princely sum. After two years of waiting, he persuaded his parents to use part of an inheritance they’d received after the death of Bentley’s grandmother to gift him a view camera for his seventeenth birthday. When the standard camera lens could not focus as closely as Bentley needed, he devised an ingenious solution, jury-rigging his beloved microscope to the camera’s accordion-like bellows. His other tools, he later noted in a piece he wrote for the magazine Popular Mechanics, were humble: “a pair of thick mittens, microscope slides, a sharp pointed wood splint, a feather, and a turkey wing or similar duster.” Recently, the physicist Kenneth Libbrecht has been refining the art of the lab-grown snowflake, and has managed to expand Nakaya’s typology to thirty-five categories. Libbrecht’s snowflake photographs, also inspired by Bentley, were compiled in his book “Field Guide to Snowflakes,” and have been featured on stamps issued by the United States Postal Service. In the book, Libbrecht writes that you don’t have to be a scientist or a photographer to enjoy studying snowflakes. At the very least, “pulling out your magnifier (放大镜) is definitely a conversation starter.” 4. Why did Bentley abandon the method of hand-drawing snowflakes? A. He lacked proper drawing materials. B. An elaborate camera was unaffordable. C. He failed to persuade his parents two years ago. D. Snowflakes are too complex to reproduce accurately. 5. Which of the following can best describe Wilson Bentley? A. Curious and persistent. B. Impatient and reckless. C. Wealthy and dedicated. D. Humble and creative. 6. What does Kenneth Libbrecht imply? A. Using a magnifier is essential for professional scientific research. B. Studying snowflakes requires historical knowledge of Bentley’s work. C. Observing snowflakes is for anyone as long as you take action. D. Magnifiers are outdated tools compared to modern lab equipment. 7. Which can be the best title for this text? A. Wilson Bentley: Who Updated the Magnifier B. A Snowflake Obsessive: Who Captured the Unique Beauty of Snowflakes C. A Farmer’s Journey: How Wilson Bentley Changed Photography D. Snowflakes in Art: How Nature Inspires Creativity 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了威尔逊·本特利发明了缩微摄影来记录雪花的美。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“He first tried his hand at drawing the snowflakes, but found that they were too elaborate for him to reproduce with adequate precision.(他首先试着画雪花，但发现它们太复杂了，他无法精确地再现)”可知，Bentley放弃手绘雪花的方法是因为雪花太复杂了，无法准确地复制。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Bentley was expected to pitch in, too, but he was more interested in studying the land than in working it.(Bentley也被期望参与进来，但他对研究土地比对照料土地更感兴趣)”以及“After two years of waiting, he persuaded his parents to use part of an inheritance they’d received after the death of Bentley’s grandmother to gift him a view camera for his seventeenth birthday.(经过两年的等待，他终于说服父母拿出他们从本特利祖母去世后继承来的部分遗产，为他购置了一台观景相机作为他十七岁生日的礼物)”可知，Wilson Bentley对土地充满好奇心，且愿意等待两年说明他执着。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In the book, Libbrecht writes that you don’t have to be a scientist or a photographer to enjoy studying snowflakes. At the very least, “pulling out your magnifier (放大镜) is definitely a conversation starter.”(在书中，Libbrecht写道，你不必是科学家或摄影师，也能享受研究雪花的乐趣。至少，“拿出你的放大镜绝对是一个对话的开始。”)”可知，Kenneth Libbrecht的意思是只要你采取行动，任何人都可以观察雪花。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“For Wilson Bentley, the late-nineteenth-and-early-twentieth-century microphotographic innovator and genuine snowflake enthusiast, considering the dazzling array of kaleidoscopic (万花筒般的) snow-crystal formations was a recreation that never lost its lustre.(对于威尔逊·本特利，这位19世纪末20世纪初的缩微摄影创新者和真正的雪花爱好者来说，考虑到万花筒般令人眼花缭乱的雪晶结构是一种从未失去光泽的娱乐)”结合文章主要介绍了威尔逊·本特利发明了缩微摄影来记录雪花的美。可知，B选项“一个雪花迷：捕捉到了雪花的独特之美”最符合文章标题。故选B。 C We know that being physically and emotionally present for children is critical. New research from a team of behavioral scientists in the UK suggests that there is a direct, significant relationship between the way parents relate to food and their children’s food practices. In the studies, parents were assessed and sorted into four different types of food relationships: typical eating, greedy eating, emotional eating, and avoidant eating. The parents then provided information about the eating behaviors of their 3-to-6-year-old children. About 40% of the parents were typical eaters, without any severe or intense behaviors related to food. The greedy eaters—about 37%—were parents whose decision to eat was more heavily guided by cues from the environment and their emotions, rather than their own hunger cues. They scored low on satiety responsiveness(饱腹感反应)and slowness in eating measures. Almost 16% of the parents were emotional eaters, who ate in response to emotion more than any other cues and were more likely to engage in emotional overeating. The remaining parents(6%)were avoidant eaters who did not enjoy food as much as the others and were picky about food selections. Children tended to have a similar food relationship as their parents. The similarity in food relationship style was especially evident in those who had greedy or avoidant eating behaviors. Parents with an greedy or emotional style of food relationship tended to use food for emotional regulation more than parents with typical eating behaviors, which correlated with their children also having a greedy or emotional food relationship. These parents were also less likely to create a healthy, positive food environment at home. When the food environment was not healthy, children were more likely to have avoidant relationships with food. The findings from these data analyses provide insight into the tightly bound nature of parent and child food relationships, especially in regard to emotional regulation. Though behaviors can be changed at any point in life, it is arguably easier to move toward adulthood with healthy food behaviors that were established in childhood, rather than reconfigure those habits as an adult. Given the major influence of parental food relationships on children suggested by this research, perhaps more continued work in this field can function as a catalyst for parents to establish healthier food relationships—first for themselves, and then for their children. 8. How did researchers categorize these parents? A. By tracking long-term dietary changes. B. Through experiments on hunger cues. C. Via children’s feedback on family meals. D. By evaluating their eating behaviors. 9. Which one of the following is more likely to be a greedy eating parent? A. Jack, whose dietary decision is often affected by hunger cues. B. Mary, who tends to overeat emotionally. C. Amy, who is sensitive to the surroundings and moods. D. John, who is very particular about his food choices. 10. What can we learn about the findings of this research? A. Avoidant-eating parents raise children who overeat emotionally. B. Children mirror parents’ eating styles, especially greedy and avoidant types. C. Typical-eating parents create unhealthy food environments for children. D. Emotional-eating parents prioritize children’s hunger cues. 11. What suggestion does the research give for parents? A. Improve their own food habits before guiding children. B. Strictly monitor children’s eating behaviors in their childhood. C. Isolate children from emotional eating triggers. D. Help children reconfigure their habits as they grow older. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了英国的一组行为科学家的新研究表明，父母与食物的关系方式和孩子的饮食行为之间存在直接且显著的关系。研究人员通过评估父母的饮食行为将其分为四种类型，并发现孩子的饮食关系往往与父母相似，最后提出研究建议父母先建立健康的饮食关系，进而影响孩子 。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In the studies, parents were assessed and sorted into four different types of food relationships: typical eating, greedy eating, emotional eating, and avoidant eating.(在研究中，父母被评估并分为四种不同的食物关系类型：典型饮食、贪婪饮食、情绪化饮食和回避饮食)”可知，研究人员是通过评估父母的饮食行为来对他们进行分类的。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段 “The greedy eaters—about 37%—were parents whose decision to eat was more heavily guided by cues from the environment and their emotions, rather than their own hunger cues.(约 37% 的贪婪饮食者，他们的饮食决定更多地受环境和自身情绪的影响，而非自身的饥饿信号)”可知，对周围环境和情绪敏感的父母更可能是贪婪饮食者。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Children tended to have a similar food relationship as their parents. The similarity in food relationship style was especially evident in those who had greedy or avoidant eating behaviors.(孩子们往往与父母有着相似的食物关系。这种食物关系风格的相似性在那些有贪婪或回避饮食行为的人身上尤为明显)”可知，孩子会反映出父母的饮食风格，尤其是贪婪型和回避型。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段 “Given the major influence of parental food relationships on children suggested by this research, perhaps more continued work in this field can function as a catalyst for parents to establish healthier food relationships—first for themselves, and then for their children.(鉴于这项研究表明父母的食物关系对孩子有重大影响，或许在这个领域更多持续的研究可以促使父母先为自己，然后为孩子建立更健康的食物关系)”可推知，该研究建议父母在引导孩子之前先改善自己的饮食习惯。故选A。 D Unlike the closed systems of major artificial intelligence companies in the United States, the Chinese startup sensation DeepSeek has embraced an opensource approach. That path is seen by some as fostering collaboration and experimentation that could lead to faster breakthroughs. Its web-based chat interface and mobile app are free to use. The strategy contrasts sharply with companies like OpenAI, which keep their models proprietary and charge monthly fees for access. DeepSeek’s approach has garnered strong support, with opensource advocates saying that the US could advance by embracing the cheaper, more accessible strategy. The company has demonstrated that AI breakthroughs can be achieved through innovation rather than sheer computing power, challenging the established paradigms of AI development and sending shock waves through Silicon Valley, Wall Street and Washington. DeepSeek, based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, has captured worldwide attention over the past two weeks with the release of two large language models that rival the performance of the dominant tools developed by US tech giants — but at a fraction(微量)of the cost and with far less computing power. The company achieved remarkable results with an investment of less than $6 million and approximately 2,000 less sophisticated chips. For comparison, Meta’s latest Llama 3.1 model required 16,000 of Nvidia’s advanced H100 chips for training — chips that are currently prohibited for use by Chinese companies under US export controls. Facing the constraint of high-performing chips, DeepSeek developed creative methods to train its models on less advanced chips through optimizations in model architecture, training procedures and hardware management. Rather than viewing DeepSeek as an adversary, US companies should see its breakthrough as an opportunity to pursue innovation in a different direction, experts say. Kat Duffy, senior fellow for digital and cyberspace policy at the Council on Foreign Relations, said that these innovative methods highlight a downside to the US’ approach to AI. “The focus in the American innovation environment on developing artificial general intelligence and building larger and larger models is not consistent with the needs of most countries around the world,” she said in an article published by her organization. “The more the United States pushes Chinese developers to build within a highly constrained environment, the more it risks positioning China as the global leader in developing cost-effective, energy-saving approaches to AI,” Duffy said. 12. What is mentioned as DeepSeek’s key advantage over US AI companies? A. Its models feature greater computing power at a low cost. B. It employs a proprietary strategy to ensure higher profits. C. It adopts an opensource strategy with significantly lower costs. D. It aims to foster collaboration and experimentation. 13. The underlined word “constraint” in the passage is closest in meaning to_________. A. availability B. restriction C. demand D. emergence 14. What can be inferred from Kat Duffy’s words about the US approach to AI development? A. The US should prioritize building even larger AI models to maintain dominance. B. The US strategy meets the practical demands of most nations effectively. C. Most countries urgently require advanced artificial general intelligence. D. US restrictions may unintentionally strengthen China’s leadership in practical AI solutions. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. China’s AI innovation challenges US dominance. B. Deepseek’s open-source strategy boosts global cooperation. C. Computing power determines AI development. D. US needs to change the focus of its innovation environment. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国人工智能初创公司DeepSeek与美国主要人工智能公司不同，采用开源策略，免费提供网络聊天界面和移动应用。DeepSeek以较低成本和较少计算能力开发出可与美国科技巨头相媲美的语言模型，挑战了人工智能发展的现有范式。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段 “Unlike the closed systems of major artificial intelligence companies in the United States, the Chinese startup sensation DeepSeek has embraced an open source approach. Its web-based chat interface and mobile app are free to use.(与美国主要人工智能公司的封闭系统不同，中国令人瞩目的初创公司DeepSeek采用了开源方法。其基于网络的聊天界面和移动应用程序是免费使用的)”以及第二段“The strategy contrasts sharply with companies like OpenAI, which keep their models proprietary and charge monthly fees for access. DeepSeek’s approach has garnered strong support, with open source advocates saying that the US could advance by embracing the cheaper, more accessible strategy.(这种策略与OpenAI等公司形成鲜明对比，这些公司将其模型专有化，并收取每月的使用费用。DeepSeek的方法获得了大力支持，开源倡导者表示，美国可以通过采用更便宜、更易获得的策略来取得进展)”可知，DeepSeek相对于美国人工智能公司的关键优势是它采用开源策略且成本显著更低。故选C。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段 “For comparison, Meta’s latest Llama 3.1 model required 16,000 of Nvidia’s advanced H100 chips for training — chips that are currently prohibited for use by Chinese companies under US export controls. Facing the constraint of high-performing chips, DeepSeek developed creative methods to train its models on less advanced chips through optimizations in model architecture, training procedures and hardware management.(相比之下，Meta 最新的 Llama 3.1模型需要16000个英伟达的先进H100 芯片进行训练 —— 这些芯片目前根据美国的出口管制，禁止中国公司使用。面对高性能芯片的constraint，DeepSeek通过在模型架构、训练程序和硬件管理方面的优化，开发出了在较不先进的芯片上训练其模型的创新方法)”可知，因为美国的出口管制，中国公司不能使用高性能芯片，所以 DeepSeek面临高性能芯片的 “限制”。由此可知，划线词constraint与restriction“限制”意思一致。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段 “Kat Duffy, senior fellow for digital and cyberspace policy at the Council on Foreign Relations, said that these innovative methods highlight a downside to the US’ approach to AI. “The focus in the American innovation environment on developing artificial general intelligence and building larger and larger models is not consistent with the needs of most countries around the world,” she said in an article published by her organization. “The more the United States pushes Chinese developers to build within a highly constrained environment, the more it risks positioning China as the global leader in developing cost-effective, energy-saving approaches to AI,” Duffy said.(美国对外关系委员会数字与网络空间政策高级研究员凯特・达菲表示，这些创新方法凸显了美国人工智能发展方式的一个弊端。她在其所在组织发表的一篇文章中称：“美国创新环境中对开发通用人工智能和构建越来越大的模型的关注，与世界上大多数国家的需求不一致。” “美国越是推动中国开发者在高度受限的环境中发展，就越有可能使中国在开发具有成本效益、节能的人工智能方法方面成为全球领导者，”达菲说)”可推知，美国的限制可能会无意中增强中国在实际人工智能解决方案方面的领导地位。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题题。根据文章内容，尤其是第二段 “The company has demonstrated that AI breakthroughs can be achieved through innovation rather than sheer computing power, challenging the established paradigms of AI development and sending shock waves through Silicon Valley, Wall Street and Washington.(该公司已经证明，人工智能的突破可以通过创新而不是单纯的计算能力来实现，这挑战了人工智能发展的既定范式，并在硅谷、华尔街和华盛顿引起了震动)”以及最后一段中关于美国对中国人工智能发展限制可能产生的影响的描述，可知文章主要讲的是中国的人工智能创新对美国在该领域主导地位的挑战。故选A。 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.

For five exhausting days everything had gone wrong. Our hotels were “tourist traps”; our rented car broke down; we were all restless in the crowded car. On Christmas Eve, when we checked into a dim hotel in Nice, there was no Christmas spirit in our hearts. It was raining and cold when we went out to eat. We found a restaurant with little decoration for the holiday. Only three tables in the restaurant were occupied. A German family, a French couple, and an American sailor, alone. In the corner a piano player lazily played Christmas music. Tired and miserable, I looked around and noticed that the other customers were eating in stony silence. The only person who seemed happy was the American sailor. While eating, he was writing a letter, and a half-smile lighted his face. My wife ordered our meal in French. The waiter brought us the wrong thing. I scolded my wife for being stupid. Her eyes were filled with tears. The boys defended her, and I felt even worse. On the left, the German father slapped one of his children for some minor fault, and the boy began to cry. On our right, the French wife began complaining to her husband. Just then, through the front door came an old French flower woman. She wore a dripping overcoat, and dragged her legs in on worn-out shoes. Carrying her basket of flowers, she went from one table to the other. “Flowers, monsieur? Only one franc.” No one bought any. Exhausted, she sat down at a table. To the waiter she said, “A bowl of soup. I haven’t sold a flower all afternoon.” To the piano player she said, “Can you imagine, Joseph, soup on Christmas Eve?” Joseph pointed to his empty “tipping plate”. 注意： 1. 续写的词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Before long, the young sailor finished his meal and walked over to the flower woman’s table. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A few seconds later, Christmas exploded throughout the restaurant like a bomb. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Before long, the young sailor finished his meal and walked over to the flower woman’s table. Smiling warmly, he selected two blossoms, his eyes sparkling with compassion. “Merry Christmas,” he greeted, pressing one flower into his letter before handing her a twenty-franc note. When she stammered about lacking change, he leaned closer and whispered, “My gift for you.” Turning swiftly, he approached our table, the remaining flower held aloft like a torch in the gloom. “Sir,” he addressed me sincerely, “May I honor your wife with this?” He presented the flower to her, his gesture dissolving the tension that had choked the room. As he exited, a collective breath held, every eye followed him, the clinking of cutlery silenced by this unexpected act of grace. Paragraph 2: A few seconds later, Christmas exploded throughout the restaurant like a bomb. Not only did the flower woman leap to her feet, but Joseph, the pianist, whose fingers flying across the keys as if compelled by divine inspiration. My wife, her tears replaced by radiant laughter, swayed with the flower, her voice joining the carol filling the air. So infectious was the joy that the German father, who had previously scolded his son, drummed a bottle rhythmically. Even the French couple, their quarrels forgotten, clapped in unison. Had it not been for the sailor’s selfless act, that shabby restaurant might have remained a prison of misery. Yet it was he, a stranger bearing two francs’ worth of hope, who unlocked the chains of gloom, proving that Christmas resides not in perfection, but in shared humanity. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者一家去旅游，结果遇到旅游陷阱，租的车也坏了，心情非常糟糕，并且入住了一家昏暗的酒店，并且那天是平安夜，却感受不到任何圣诞的气氛。作者一家后来出去吃饭，餐厅也很冷清，只有一名水手脸上露着笑容，店里的气氛也十分凝重。这时门前来了一个卖花的老太太，水手买了两束花，送给了作者的妻子，消除了使房间窒息的紧张气氛。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“没过多久，年轻的水手吃完饭，走到卖花女人的桌子旁。”可知，第一段可描写水手买花并且送花，缓解了店里的紧张气氛。 ②由第二段首句内容“几秒钟后，圣诞节就像炸弹一样在整个餐厅爆炸了。”可知，第二段可描写店里充满圣诞节的喜悦气氛以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：水手买花——送花——气氛缓解——店里充满喜悦——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①靠近：approach/get close to ②取代：replace/take place of ③鼓掌：clap/applaud 情绪类 ①同情：compassion/sympathy ②快乐：joy/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1] Smiling warmly, he selected two blossoms, his eyes sparkling with compassion.（运用了独立主格结构） [高分句型2] Not only did the flower woman leap to her feet, but Joseph, the pianist, whose fingers flying across the keys as if compelled by divine inspiration.（运用部分倒装句和whose引导非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
