The moment she set foot in China on August 29th, she was warmly greeted by people who put on traditional dance and singing performances for her arrival via Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. From Xinjiang, Cammarota embarked on a 15-month cultural journey across China and explored over 30 cities in 17 provinces and autonomous regions. Her journey will come to an end in Beijing to mark the 750th anniversary of Marco Polo’s arrival in China. Throughout her journey, Cammarota witnessed the transformation of the ancient Silk Road into a corridor of economic and cultural exchange, saying “I have seen the bridges. highways, and railways built under China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) , which connect countries in a way that echoes the Silk Road’ s historic role in facilitating trade and cultural exchange. ” Cammarota reached Tajikistan, where she visited the China-Tajikistan highway project. The infrastructure project, once completed, was expected to enhance regional connectivity and bring new opportunities. For Cammarota, this journey was more than retracing Marco Polo's footsteps. She hoped her travels would help people in Italy and the West see the true beauty and greatness of China. “This is a land filled with numerous UNESCO heritage sites, cutting-edge technology, and a harmonious balance between urban development and natural preservation, ” Cammarota said. Describing herself as an ambassador of cultural exchange and modern-day Marco Polo, Cammarota noted, “I want to know about Marco Polo and the Silk Road, but I also want to send a message to women of my age—it’s never too late to pursue your dreams. ” 4.

The Svalbard Global Seed Vault on Spitsbergen Island, buried so deep inside a mountain as to withstand nuclear war and other disasters, was constructed to reestablish plant life following a worldwide disaster. Opened in 2008, the Svalbard Vault serves as a backup for the world’s gene banks, which store the genetic codes of thousands of plant species. It remains naturally cold due to a surrounding layer of permafrost (永冻土层). “Climate change and conflict threaten infrastructure and impact food security for over 700 million people in more than 75 countries worldwide,” Stefan Schmitz, an organizer of the facility, said. “Gene banks are stepping up efforts to back up seed collections, and we are proud to support them by providing a safe place in Norway.” Recent deposits include seeds for vegetables and herbs from the Union of Agrioultural Work Committees in Palestine, seeds from farmers in Bolivia, and samples for 1,145 types of maize, rice, sesame, and sorghum from Chad, which are able to endure extreme heat and arid conditions and can be invaluable to countries impacted by global warming. While the seed bank could benefit the entire planet, it is being run and funded by the Norwegian government, in partnership with the Crop Trust and the Nordic Genetic Resource Center. The vault, which cost $ 8.8 million to build, is free to use for depositors wanting to store seeds that could be used to reestablish crop lines after their disappearance because of natural or unnatural disasters. Lise Lykke Steffensen, executive director of the Nordic Genetic Resource Center said, “Humanity depends on a wide diversity of genetic resources to meet future challenges. Therefore, it is comforting that many gene banks choose to be part of this seed deposit. The Svalbard Vault has an important purpose to secure these valuable collections, not least given the state of the world today.” 8. What is the purpose of establishing the Seed Vault? A. To provide seeds to plant on the islands. B. To endure nuclear war and other disasters. C. To store seeds for scientific research. D. To bring plant life back after a big catastrophe. 9. What can we learn from the seeds recently deposited? A. They’re all from developed countries. B. They’re grown only in cold climates. C. They’re valuable for medical purposes. D. They’re used to defend extreme weather. 10. Who can use the Seed Vault for free? A. Farmers from Palestine, Bolivia and Chad. B. Any organization interested in planting seeds. C. Organizations or individuals depositing seeds. D. The Union of Agricultural Work Committees. 11. What’s the Lise Lykke Steffensen’s attitude towards the seed deposit? A. Approving. B. Critical. C. Neutral. D. Indifferent. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了位于北冰洋的挪威一个偏远岛屿的“末日种子库”即Svalbard Global Seed Vault的功能及重要意义。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The Svalbard Global Seed Vault on Spitsbergen Island, buried so deep inside a mountain as to withstand nuclear war and other disasters, was constructed to reestablish plant life following a worldwide disaster.(Spitsbergen岛上的Svalbard Global Seed Vault深埋在一座山中，可以抵御核战争和其他灾难，是为了在一场全球性灾难后重建植物生命而建造的)”可知，这个种子库的主要目的是在全球灾难后能够重建植物生命。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Recent deposits include seeds for vegetables and herbs from the Union of Agrioultural Work Committees in Palestine, seeds from farmers in Bolivia, and samples for 1,145 types of maize, rice, sesame, and sorghum from Chad, which are able to endure extreme heat and arid conditions and can be invaluable to countries impacted by global warming.(最近的储备包括来自巴勒斯坦农业工作委员会联盟的蔬菜和草药种子，玻利维亚农民的种子，以及来自Chad的1145种玉米、大米、芝麻和高粱的样品，这些品种能够承受极端高温和干旱条件，对受全球变暖影响的国家来说是非常宝贵的)”可知，最近存放的种子能够抵御炎热、干燥的环境，对受全球变暖影响的国家非常有价值，故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The vault, which cost $8.8 million to build, is free to use for depositors wanting to store seeds that could be used to reestablish crop lines after their disappearance because of natural or unnatural disasters.(该种子库耗资880万美元，可供存款人免费使用，存款人希望储存种子，以便在因自然或非自然灾害而消失的作物品种恢复)”可知，储存种子的组织或个人可以免费使用种子库。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Therefore, it is comforting that many gene banks choose to be part of this seed deposit. The Svalbard Vault has an important purpose to secure these valuable collections, not least given the state of the world today.(因此，令人欣慰的是，许多基因库选择成为这个种子库的一部分。Svalbard Vault的重要目的是保护这些珍贵的收藏品，尤其是考虑到当今世界的状况)”可知，她认为许多基因库选择参与种子储存这件事让人欣慰，种子库肩负着保护这些珍贵收藏的重要使命。由此推知，Lise Lykke Steffensen对种子库的态度是赞成的。故选A。 D Have you ever felt so convinced you were right about something, that the thought of anyone challenging your belief could only mean they didn’t know as much as you did? If you have, you’re not alone. Here’s why: you don’t have all the facts, but believe that you do. So you may stand your ground during heated debates, according to a new study. “Most people on average do this,” said the study co-author Angus Fletcher, a professor at Ohio State University. In the experiment 1,261 adults were divided into three groups to read an article about a fictional school that lacked water. One group read an article that only gave reasons why the school should merge (合并) with another that had water; the second group’s article only gave reasons for staying separate and hoping for other solutions. The third control group read all the arguments for the schools merging and for staying separate. Fletcher’s findings showed that the two groups who received only half the facts-either just the pro-merging or the just the anti-merging arguments- -believed they had enough information to make a good decision. What Fletcher didn’t expect the most was that once everyone was given the other half of the argument, their opinions shifted to be equal to the control group who had both sets of facts from the beginning. Therefore, curiosity about all sides of an argument can help resolve conflicts naturally. “If you feel yourself being annoyed by someone, lake a step back and say, how much do I really know about this situation?” Fletcher says. What led to greater understanding between the different groups in the study was access to all of the facts. Once each group independently reviewed the new information, they were able to come to a general agreement more easily. He recommends that if you find yourself conflicting with a loved one or coworker, to pause and get curious about why they are thinking the way they are. “The odds are good that they’ll reveal something that would shift your perspective,” Fletcher says. 12. What do we tend to do during a heated debate according to the text? A. Stick to our opinion. B. Express our feelings. C. Hold back our emotions. D. Bring forth our thinking. 13. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning the experiment? A. Its process. B. Its outcome. C. Its theory. D. Its purpose. 14. What surprised Fletcher about the findings? A. Perspectives of control groups remained unchanged. B. Participants sought the opposite groups’ information. C. All three groups were good at making wise decisions. D. Views of half-informed groups changed with full facts. 15. What can be a suitable title of the text? A. Argument: to be resolved or not B. Knowledge: the more, the better C. Agreement: to convince all sides D. Curiosity: the key to “no conflict” 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是研究发现人们在辩论中倾向于坚持自己的观点，而全面了解信息和保持好奇心能够有效帮助解决冲突，促进相互理解。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Here’s why: you don’t have all the facts, but believe that you do. So you may stand your ground during heated debates, according to a new study.(原因如下：你并没有掌握所有的事实，但你认为自己掌握了。因此，根据一项新的研究，在激烈的辩论中你可能会坚守自己的立场。)”可知，在激烈的辩论中，即使没有掌握全部事实，人们也倾向于坚持自己的观点。故选A项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“In the experiment, 1,261 adults were divided into three groups to read an article about a fictional school that lacked water.(在实验中，1261名成年人被分成三组，阅读一篇关于一所缺水的虚构学校的文章。)”以及下文介绍的将参与者分成三组，每组阅读不同版本的文章可知，第三段主要介绍的是研究的过程。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“What Fletcher didn’t expect the most was that once everyone was given the other half of the argument, their opinions shifted to be equal to the control group who had both sets of facts from the beginning.(Fletcher最没想到的是，一旦每个人都获得了另一半的论点，他们的观点就会发生变化，与从一开始就拥有全部事实的控制组持平。)”可知，那些只了解了一半信息的小组，在获得另一半信息后，他们的观点发生了变化。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文以及文章介绍的一项关于人们在辩论中倾向于固守自己观点的现象的研究，并通过一项实验说明了全面了解信息的重要性和倒数第二段中的“Therefore, curiosity about all sides of an argument can help resolve conflicts naturally.(因此，对争论各方的好奇心可以帮助自然地解决冲突。)”以及尾段中的“He recommends that if you find yourself conflicting with a loved one or coworker, to pause and get curious about why they are thinking the way they are.(他建议，如果你发现自己与亲人或同事发生冲突时，暂停一下并对他们的想法产生好奇。)”可知，通过研究结果表明，好奇心可以帮助自然地解决冲突，并建议在与他人发生冲突时，暂停并好奇对方的想法可能会改变你的视角，这表明好奇心是解决冲突的关键因素，所以题目“好奇心：解决“冲突”的关键”可以概括文章的主题，适合作为最佳标题。故选D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。 Online shopping often involves endless options and dizzying discounts. A single search for running shoes can produce hundreds of results. ____16____ What if there is a tool capable of hunting for the best prices and making sure your purchases arrive on time? The new innovation in artificial intelligence is AI agents. They are capable of autonomous reasoning and multistep problem-solving. ____17____ Imagine this: You remind AI to find a winter coat under $200 that’s highly rated and will arrive by Sunday. In seconds, it scans websites, compares prices, checks reviews, confirms availability and places the order, all while you go about your day. Unlike traditional recommendation engines, AI agents learn your preferences and handle tasks autonomously. The agents are built with machine learning and natural language processing. They can learn from their interactions with users and become smarter. Looking ahead, AI agents are likely to not only master personal shopping needs but also negotiate directly with corporate AI systems. ____18____ Consumers today are focused on value, looking for deals and comparing prices across platforms. ____19____ But can AI truly learn your preferences? A recent study using the GPT-4.0 model achieved 85% accuracy in copying the thoughts and behaviors of over 1,000 people after they interacted with the AI for just two hours, which is really a breakthrough. ____20____ AI systems require extensive access to personal data, shopping history and financial information. This level of access increases the risk of misuse and unauthorized sharing. A. They can make purchases without being instructed. B. However, there’s also a risk of being addicted to AI agents. C. The process results in tired eyes and decision-making challenges. D. They not only suggest what you might like, but also act on your behalf. E. Having an assistant perform these tasks could be a remarkable time saver. F. While offering significant benefits, AI agents also raise critical privacy concerns. G. They will be able to book tailored experiences and handle payments across platforms. 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. G 19. E 20.

My whole family, minus one of my sisters, would be going. On the day we left I was excited to go on the trip. As soon as we got there, I unpacked all the things I had in the bedroom. My bedroom was small and had two bunk beds on either side of the room. The room made me feel like I was in someone’s grandma’s house. It was late by the time we got to the house, so I went to bed quickly. The next morning I got up and my dad said that we would board the boat for just something to do. As we were in the car, I noticed that it was raining pretty hard outside. Just then another boat approached us. A man with heavy beard shouted at us, claiming that it was not a good day for boating. He warned us to go back, but we thought nothing of it. The boat was pretty nice. It had a covering over the front side of the boat and seats in the back. We got out to the water, and the waves started to pick up a little. As we got out to the water a little farther I thought to myself, “Wouldn’t it be funny if the boat starts sinking?” Apparently, my thought was starting to come into reality, as the waves started picking up even more. I looked at my sister with a worried look on my face. She also looked worried. The boat started tipping more as the waves spilled into the boat. My sister and I started screaming. I looked at my dad and he had a worried look on his face too. That was how I knew that things were getting worse. My dad usually never gets worried about these sorts of things. The water was about knee high on my sister and me. The boat kept rocking from side to side. 注意1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My sister was now crying and my mom was yelling at us to put our life jackets on. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I thought I was going to die. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: My sister was now crying and my mom was yelling at us to put our life jackets on. I almost cried myself but I knew that crying and panicking wouldn’t help. My dad had my sister sit closer to the front of the boat so she would be the safest. I clung to my mom the whole time while she took a bucket and tried scooping the water out of the boat. We started to head back to the docks before the boat sank. It was getting hard to breathe. I thought I was going to die. The waves wouldn’t calm down. The rain was still pouring down on us. Desperate as we were, we had no choice but to stay put, sinking with the boat. Just then, I felt someone grabbed my arm out of the water. Clearing the water on my face, I could see the man with heavy beard came to our rescue. As soon as the boat got back to the dock, my sister and I jumped out of the boat, after extending our gratitude to the man for his kindness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和家人一起去钓鱼。第二天早上，虽然一个胡子浓密的人说当天不适合登船，作者和家人还是去划船了。海浪越来越大，船开始倾斜，作者和妹妹非常害怕，开始尖叫，父亲的脸上也带着担忧的表情。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我妹妹哭了，我妈妈朝我们大喊，让我们穿上救生衣。”可知，第一段可描写作者和家人想办法自救，争取在船沉没之前返回码头，但是呼吸变得困难了。 ②由第二段首句内容“我以为我快要死了。”可知，第二段可描写作者和家人感觉绝望，这时那个胡子浓密的人赶来救人，作者和家人得救，向其表达了感激。 2.续写线索：穿上救生衣——从船里舀水出去——呼吸变得困难——作者感觉绝望——有人来救作者一家——得救后表示感激 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①抓紧：cling/hold tightly ②抓住：grab/seize ③清理：clear/clean 情绪类 ①绝望的：desperate/hopeless ②感激：gratitude/thankfulness 【点睛】【高分句型1】I almost cried myself but I knew that crying and panicking wouldn’t help.(由连接词that引导宾语从句) 【高分句型2】I clung to my mom the whole time while she took a bucket and tried scooping the water out of the boat.(由连接词while引导时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年度第二学期扬州市树人高级中学期中考试 高二英语 2025. 4 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分20分） 做题时，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分，满分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.

B On April 26th, 2022, Italian traveler Vienna Cammarota set off from Venice, the hometown of the encouraging explorer Marco Polo, with the ambition of retracing his route to China along the ancient Silk Road on foot. With a simple backpack and two trekking poles, 74-year-old Cammarota covered over 20, 000 km and passed through dozens of countries. The moment she set foot in China on August 29th, she was warmly greeted by people who put on traditional dance and singing performances for her arrival via Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. From Xinjiang, Cammarota embarked on a 15-month cultural journey across China and explored over 30 cities in 17 provinces and autonomous regions. Her journey will come to an end in Beijing to mark the 750th anniversary of Marco Polo’s arrival in China. Throughout her journey, Cammarota witnessed the transformation of the ancient Silk Road into a corridor of economic and cultural exchange, saying “I have seen the bridges. highways, and railways built under China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) , which connect countries in a way that echoes the Silk Road’ s historic role in facilitating trade and cultural exchange. ” Cammarota reached Tajikistan, where she visited the China-Tajikistan highway project. The infrastructure project, once completed, was expected to enhance regional connectivity and bring new opportunities. For Cammarota, this journey was more than retracing Marco Polo's footsteps. She hoped her travels would help people in Italy and the West see the true beauty and greatness of China. “This is a land filled with numerous UNESCO heritage sites, cutting-edge technology, and a harmonious balance between urban development and natural preservation, ” Cammarota said. Describing herself as an ambassador of cultural exchange and modern-day Marco Polo, Cammarota noted, “I want to know about Marco Polo and the Silk Road, but I also want to send a message to women of my age—it’s never too late to pursue your dreams. ” 4. What encouraged Cammarota to walk along the Silk Road? A. Marco Polo’s travelling experience. B. The transformation of the Silk Road. C. Her love for adventure and exploration. D. Her desire to promote cultural exchange. 5. What does the underlined phrase “embarked on” mean in paragraph 2? A. Changed. B. Started. C. Accomplished. D. Continued. 6.

The infrastructures built under the BRI. 7. Which of the following can best describe Cammarota? A. Cautious and persistent. B. Courageous and intelligent. C. Generous and adaptable. D. Adventurous and ambitious. C Fears about climate change and global conflict destroying plant species and changing the face of the planet have prompted environmentalists and researchers to send 30,000 new seed samples to a “doomsday vault (末日种子库)” on a remote Norwegian island in the Arctic Ocean. The Svalbard Global Seed Vault on Spitsbergen Island, buried so deep inside a mountain as to withstand nuclear war and other disasters, was constructed to reestablish plant life following a worldwide disaster. Opened in 2008, the Svalbard Vault serves as a backup for the world’s gene banks, which store the genetic codes of thousands of plant species. It remains naturally cold due to a surrounding layer of permafrost (永冻土层). “Climate change and conflict threaten infrastructure and impact food security for over 700 million people in more than 75 countries worldwide,” Stefan Schmitz, an organizer of the facility, said. “Gene banks are stepping up efforts to back up seed collections, and we are proud to support them by providing a safe place in Norway.” Recent deposits include seeds for vegetables and herbs from the Union of Agrioultural Work Committees in Palestine, seeds from farmers in Bolivia, and samples for 1,145 types of maize, rice, sesame, and sorghum from Chad, which are able to endure extreme heat and arid conditions and can be invaluable to countries impacted by global warming. While the seed bank could benefit the entire planet, it is being run and funded by the Norwegian government, in partnership with the Crop Trust and the Nordic Genetic Resource Center. The vault, which cost $ 8.8 million to build, is free to use for depositors wanting to store seeds that could be used to reestablish crop lines after their disappearance because of natural or unnatural disasters. Lise Lykke Steffensen, executive director of the Nordic Genetic Resource Center said, “Humanity depends on a wide diversity of genetic resources to meet future challenges. Therefore, it is comforting that many gene banks choose to be part of this seed deposit. The Svalbard Vault has an important purpose to secure these valuable collections, not least given the state of the world today.” 8. What is the purpose of establishing the Seed Vault? A. To provide seeds to plant on the islands. B. To endure nuclear war and other disasters. C. To store seeds for scientific research. D. To bring plant life back after a big catastrophe. 9. What can we learn from the seeds recently deposited? A. They’re all from developed countries. B. They’re grown only in cold climates. C. They’re valuable for medical purposes. D. They’re used to defend extreme weather. 10. Who can use the Seed Vault for free? A. Farmers from Palestine, Bolivia and Chad. B. Any organization interested in planting seeds. C. Organizations or individuals depositing seeds. D. The Union of Agricultural Work Committees. 11. What’s the Lise Lykke Steffensen’s attitude towards the seed deposit? A. Approving. B. Critical. C. Neutral. D. Indifferent. D Have you ever felt so convinced you were right about something, that the thought of anyone challenging your belief could only mean they didn’t know as much as you did? If you have, you’re not alone. Here’s why: you don’t have all the facts, but believe that you do. So you may stand your ground during heated debates, according to a new study. “Most people on average do this,” said the study co-author Angus Fletcher, a professor at Ohio State University. In the experiment, 1,261 adults were divided into three groups to read an article about a fictional school that lacked water. One group read an article that only gave reasons why the school should merge (合并) with another that had water; the second group’s article only gave reasons for staying separate and hoping for other solutions. The third control group read all the arguments for the schools merging and for staying separate. Fletcher’s findings showed that the two groups who received only half the facts-either just the pro-merging or the just the anti-merging arguments- -believed they had enough information to make a good decision. What Fletcher didn’t expect the most was that once everyone was given the other half of the argument, their opinions shifted to be equal to the control group who had both sets of facts from the beginning. Therefore, curiosity about all sides of an argument can help resolve conflicts naturally. “If you feel yourself being annoyed by someone, lake a step back and say, how much do I really know about this situation?” Fletcher says. What led to greater understanding between the different groups in the study was access to all of the facts. Once each group independently reviewed the new information, they were able to come to a general agreement more easily. He recommends that if you find yourself conflicting with a loved one or coworker, to pause and get curious about why they are thinking the way they are. “The odds are good that they’ll reveal something that would shift your perspective,” Fletcher says. 12. What do we tend to do during a heated debate according to the text? A. Stick to our opinion. B. Express our feelings. C. Hold back our emotions. D. Bring forth our thinking. 13. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning the experiment? A. Its process. B. Its outcome. C. Its theory. D. Its purpose. 14. What surprised Fletcher about the findings? A. Perspectives of control groups remained unchanged. B. Participants sought the opposite groups’ information. C. All three groups were good at making wise decisions. D. Views of half-informed groups changed with full facts. 15. What can be a suitable title of the text? A. Argument: to be resolved or not B. Knowledge: the more, the better C. Agreement: to convince all sides D. Curiosity: the key to “no conflict” 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。 Online shopping often involves endless options and dizzying discounts. A single search for running shoes can produce hundreds of results. ____16____ What if there is a tool capable of hunting for the best prices and making sure your purchases arrive on time? The new innovation in artificial intelligence is AI agents. They are capable of autonomous reasoning and multistep problem-solving. ____17____ Imagine this: You remind AI to find a winter coat under $200 that’s highly rated and will arrive by Sunday. In seconds, it scans websites, compares prices, checks reviews, confirms availability and places the order, all while you go about your day. Unlike traditional recommendation engines, AI agents learn your preferences and handle tasks autonomously. The agents are built with machine learning and natural language processing. They can learn from their interactions with users and become smarter. Looking ahead, AI agents are likely to not only master personal shopping needs but also negotiate directly with corporate AI systems. ____18____ Consumers today are focused on value, looking for deals and comparing prices across platforms. ____19____ But can AI truly learn your preferences? A recent study using the GPT-4.0 model achieved 85% accuracy in copying the thoughts and behaviors of over 1,000 people after they interacted with the AI for just two hours, which is really a breakthrough. ____20____ AI systems require extensive access to personal data, shopping history and financial information. This level of access increases the risk of misuse and unauthorized sharing. A. They can make purchases without being instructed. B. However, there’s also a risk of being addicted to AI agents. C. The process results in tired eyes and decision-making challenges. D. They not only suggest what you might like, but also act on your behalf. E.

I said yes. My whole family, minus one of my sisters, would be going. On the day we left I was excited to go on the trip. As soon as we got there, I unpacked all the things I had in the bedroom. My bedroom was small and had two bunk beds on either side of the room. The room made me feel like I was in someone’s grandma’s house. It was late by the time we got to the house, so I went to bed quickly. The next morning I got up and my dad said that we would board the boat for just something to do. As we were in the car, I noticed that it was raining pretty hard outside. Just then another boat approached us. A man with heavy beard shouted at us, claiming that it was not a good day for boating. He warned us to go back, but we thought nothing of it. The boat was pretty nice. It had a covering over the front side of the boat and seats in the back. We got out to the water, and the waves started to pick up a little. As we got out to the water a little farther I thought to myself, “Wouldn’t it be funny if the boat starts sinking?” Apparently, my thought was starting to come into reality, as the waves started picking up even more. I looked at my sister with a worried look on my face. She also looked worried. The boat started tipping more as the waves spilled into the boat. My sister and I started screaming. I looked at my dad and he had a worried look on his face too. That was how I knew that things were getting worse. My dad usually never gets worried about these sorts of things. The water was about knee high on my sister and me. The boat kept rocking from side to side. 注意1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My sister was now crying and my mom was yelling at us to put our life jackets on. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I thought I was going to die. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
