The hard work started before daybreak and lasted well into the blistering heat of the afternoon. To get out of there, she was going to get an education. Her parents tried to save some money to send her to college, but unexpected bills kept hitting the fund. Then a teacher announced that the state was going to give a college scholarship to the two top students from her year. Finally, West got the scholarship, allowing her to attend Virginia State College, a historically black university. West decided to major in mathematics because it was a well-respected subject. It was largely studied by men, but she didn’t take much notice of them as she knew deep in her heart that nothing was getting in her way. After graduating, she became a teacher. A few years later, she returned to the university and earned a master’s degree in mathematics. Then she was offered a job at a naval base in Dahlgren, Virginia. This made her only the second black woman to be hired to work as a programmer at the base. Despite her intellectual abilities and career success, West felt she was inferior. It was this feeling, deeply rooted and felt, by many African Americans that drove her to work as hard as she could. West determined to commit herself to her work, hoping that by doing it to the best of her ability, she could get recognition for her work. West did just that. In 1979, she became project manager for the Seasat project, the first satellite that could monitor the oceans. She programmed an IBM 7030 Stretch computer, providing faster calculations for an accurate Earthmodel. This detailed mathematical model of the shape of the Earth was a building block for what would become the GPS orbit. In 1998, aged 68, she intended to focus on her PhD after retirement. She eventually finished her graduation thesis and gained her PhD in public administration and policy affairs in 2000 at the age of 70. 4. What helps Gladys West to go to the university? A. Her teacher’s aiding her. B. Her parents’ paying for the expenses. C. Her family background. D. The scholarship from the government. 5 What can we infer from the text? A. West got all her degrees after retirement. B. Men dominated maths field in West’s days. C. Black women scientists ' talent was fully appreciated. D. When she began to work, West felt she was superior to others. 6. What does the underlined phrase “a building block” in paragraph 5 mean? A. A basic part. B. A detailed map. C. A building material. D. A major obstacle. 7. What kind of person is Gladys West? A. Helpful and serious. B. Honest and hardworking. C. Ambitious and committed. D. Considerate and devoted. C WASHINGTON (AP) — Two-thirds of animal and plant populations are declining in genetic diversity, which makes it harder to adapt to environmental changes, according to research published Wednesday. Long before a species goes extinct, the population becomes smaller and more scattered, shrinking (使减少) the number of potential mates and therefore genetic mixing. This leaves a species more at risk to future threats such as disease. “A surprising trend was that we saw genetic diversity declining even among many species that aren’t considered at risk,” said co-author Catherine Grueber, a conservation biologist at the University of Sydney. Researchers examined data for 628 species studied between 1985 and 2019. The greatest losses in genetic variation were seen in birds and mammals. Findings were published in the journal Nature. “When a species has different genetic solutions, it’s better able to deal with changes,” said David Nogués-Bravo at the University of Copenhagen, who was not involved in the study. If a new disease spreads through a population or climate change affects summer rainfall, some individuals will handle better than others, in part because of their genes. Higher genetic diversity also means there’s a greater chance of a species survival. Conservation efforts to connect separated populations-basically expanding the dating pool for a particular species can help maintain or even restore genetic diversity. Florida panthers (佛罗里达美洲狮) are an endangered species that have steadily lost habitat to freeways and urban expansion. By the mid-1990s, the remaining big cats in southern Florida showed clear signs of breeding between close relatives — with bent tails and low male fertility (生育能力). Biologists brought eight female panthers from Texas to Florida. Twenty years later, the number of Florida panthers in the wild has grown significantly and genetic diversity increased, “Isolated populations suffer,” said Duke University ecologist Stuart Pimm, who was not part of the research, “The solution is to reconnect them.” 8. Which is correct about genetic diversity according to the research? A. It remains stable across all species on earth. B. It undergoes a small change in species at risk. C. It experiences great losses in birds and mammals. D. It is declining sharply only in endangered species. 9. What strategy was used to increase the genetic diversity of Florida panthers? A Building more freeways to expand their habitat. B. Making efforts to reconnect isolated populations. C. Restricting unplanned urban growth in southern Florida. D. Conducting more research through conservation initiatives. 10. What is the author’s tone toward restoring genetic diversity? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Neutral. D. Indifferent. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Genetic Diversity Decline Threatens Species Survival B. Two-thirds of Species Gain Genetic Diversity C. Florida Panthers Recover Through Relocation D. Habitat Reconnection Harms Genetic Health D Artificial intelligence (AI ) has been increasingly good at fooling people. A series of photos showing former US president Donald Trump being aggressively arrested by police have caught people’s attention. They were fake but very convincing. Created by the AI program Midjourney, the photos were highly realistic, from the characters’ movements to the surroundings. However, many details can give away the fact that they are made by AI. The Washington Post’s technology writer Shira Ovide shared her tips. The main idea is to spot the problems anything that would look strange in a photo. AI software has a history of generating human hands incorrectly. It sometimes can create hands with more than five fingers. This is because AI isn’t sure what a “hand” exactly is, according to Popular Science. The data AI uses to learn often show hands and fingers in various gestures, which can be very confusing for AI. AI-generated images also usually contain details that are against reality. To spot this, focus on items like accessories. For example, people in an image may be missing earrings or one part of their sunglasses. If there’s text in an image, such as a newspaper or poster, it’s usually garbled (篡改), even though the text may look realistic from a distance. Another thing AI is terrible at handling is the background. If there’s a crowd in the image, people’s faces in the background are usually blurry - or they don’t have faces at all! The development of AI-generated art also raises alarm bells about how these fake images could be used to spread misinformation. “I think misinformation is going to hit an all-time high,” Jamie Cohen, a digital culture and AI expert in the US, told New York Post. Generating an AI artwork is to “create reality”, Cohen argued, adding that, being able to tell whether the work is real or not requires high media literacy(素养) skills. “The world may not be ready for how realistic the images have become,” Shane Kittelson, a US researcher, told The Washington Post. 12. Why are Donald Trump’s photos mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To draw more people’s attention. B. To make people convinced of the news. C. To show the AI-generated images were fake. D. To prove that it’s easy for AI to cheat people. 13. Why does AI generate human hands incorrectly according to the text? A. It is unable to recognize human hands. B. The data it uses to learn contain errors. C. It doesn’t fully understand human hands. D. It has insufficient data about human hands. 14. Which of the following will Jamie Cohen agree with? A. AI artworks may not be reflective of true creativity. B. It’s high time to address the risks posed by AI works. C. AI artworks will replace traditional art forms in the future. D. Detecting real art demands strong media literacy competence. 15. Where is the text probably from? A. A news report. B. A diary. C. A research paper. D. A science fiction. 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。 Does gardening leave you feeling happy and relaxed? Your brain might be telling you something! ____16____With all the digging, lifting, watering, planting and moving, it is clear how gardening can have many physical benefits. But research shows that these benefits can also affect our minds as well! In Japan, there is a growing trend called forest bathing, where people immerse themselves in the outdoors as a way to relax and improve concentration. Why has this caught on? ____17____Studies have shown that forest bathing forces people to disconnect from distractions and be more mindful of their immediate surroundings. This can also happen while gardening. If you’ve ever weeded a garden bed, you will know that it requires a high degree of focus in order to identify unwanted plants. ____18____ Another important aspect of gardening is getting your hands dirty, and research show that this can improve your mental health. Scientists have discovered that the mycobacterium (分枝杆菌) found in soil can improve brain function. The micro bacteria found in the soil increases serotonin produced in the brain (also known as the “happy” chemical). ____19____ There’s also the sentimental (情感的) attachment to your garden. Gardening takes effort and because of this, a natural responsibility for the survival of your plants starts to rise with you. Sometimes you see them from seed to plant. Other times you forget to water them and they die.____20____In addition, the hard work will provide you with delicious little vegetables. A. Because it is effective. B. Because you don’t have a backyard. C. You should look for areas to put planters. D. By getting your hands dirty, you are also making your brain happy. E. Gardening is a useful way of improving your physical and mental health. F. By noticing the smallest details, you are also improving your concentration. G. Regardless, caring for something other than yourself can be satisfying and purposeful. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A，B，C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 “When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.” As we live through life, we tend to get caught up in our individual world, our problems — our life. When we ____21____ our world to include others in a meaningful way, by making a positive difference in their life, we increase our experience at the same time. Think back on a time when someone made a difference in your life. Here is one of mine: I was going to college, working part-time, and just ____22____ getting by financially. Standing in line at a local supermarket, I observed a woman in the same line, thinking that she was not very attractive. As I was ____23____, I discovered that I did not have enough money to pay; without ____24____, that same woman I had been judging offered to make up the difference. It wasn’t ____25____, but what that person did made a lasting impression on me. She was a beautiful, caring soul who was willing to help a stranger in a (an) ____26____ situation. That happened over forty years ago and I remember it as ____27____ as if it was yesterday. Other examples are the numerous times I have had people smile at me, which ____28____ my day. I’ve often wondered if it was because I was smiling, which I ____29____ to do all the time, or because they were smiling to be ____30____, which encouraged me to smile as well. It has probably been some of both. In ____31____ case, that simple gesture (a smile) makes a difference in my day. There are ____32____ ways to make a significant difference in another’s life. The question is: Are we doing it? It does not ____33____ anything, but it does require some effort on our part. I have found that as I do this consistently, the returns go far beyond the energy required to do the deed. Looking for ways to brighten another person’s day raises our vibration (共鸣), and when we act on it, we assist the other person to raise their vibration as well — it is ____34____ to each other. Make a difference in someone’s life today, and ____35____ doing so every day. Today is a perfect time to start! If you are already doing so, bravo! 21. A. rebuild B. establish C. expand D. develop 22. A. thoroughly B. smoothly C. barely D. actually 23. A. hanging out B. checking out C. setting out D. working out 24. A. expectation B. hesitation C. assumption D. intention 25. A. much B. enough C. little D. awful 26. A. urgent B. absurd C. hopeless D. embarrassing 27.

Among the oldest of these treasures ____37____ (be) the 2,800-year-old bronze vessel (青铜器) known as Feng Xingshu Gui (丰邢叔簋). Returned in January 2024, the vessel came from the Western Zhou Dynasty (c.11th century — 771BC). It is composed of a large bowl ____38____ has double handles in the design of a coil-nose animal face. An inscription (铭文) cast inside the vessel reveals ____39____ (it) identity: it was made by a nobleman of the Feng state for his wife. In 1978, it was discovered and was later housed in a Shaanxi museum. However, thieves stole it in 1984. Decades later, Raymond King, ____40____ entrepreneur based in Oregon, US, found the relic in a New York apartment. After learning about its background, King and his mother agreed to return it to China.

I’d often tie his shoes or prepare another glass of water for him. My mom saw my larger size and strong body as a sign that I was to be a kind of guardian angel (守护天使) for Brian. However, that was not the case. One day our school sponsored a pumpkin-carving contest. First prize was $100 and I knew just how I would spend it. There was a brand-new game I was dying to own. So I decided the first place bonus definitely had to land in my pocket. When I had to carve the perfect pumpkin I’d picked out, it dawned on me that with my big clumsy fingers I’d surely screw it up (搞砸). I thought of Brian’s smaller, delicate hands and knew he was the man for the job. I immediately begged Brian. Unexpectedly, he asked for a cut. That was fifty-fifty. Quickly doing the math in my head, I figured out even if I split (分摊) the first prize, I’d still have enough cash for the game. So I gave in to Brian’s demands. With skillful hands Brian carved the perfect face, and now we had the best pumpkin ever. Then the unexpected happened: We came in second. Unfortunately, second prize was only $50, and I needed every penny of that to buy the game. The day of the awards ceremony, the principal handed over the money to me because Brian was home, sick with cold. If he really wanted to win, he would have been here today, I thought to myself, justifying stealing the cash from under poor Brian’s runny nose. With hardly a thought, I ran to the store and bought my dream game. That night when Brian asked if we had won, I denied, afraid to look into his eyes. The whole thing was never mentioned again until the day when Brian was packing for college. I played my usual role in helping him pack when I came across an old album filled with photos and one of them caught my eye. 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。 Paragraph 1: It was a picture of the pumpkin-carving contest ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “You actually knew and didn’t say anything?” I was shocked. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 陕西师大附中2024-2025学年度第二学期期中考试 高二年级英语试题 （考试时间：120分钟，试卷满分：150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。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。 例: How much is the shirt?

The hard work started before daybreak and lasted well into the blistering heat of the afternoon. To get out of there, she was going to get an education. Her parents tried to save some money to send her to college, but unexpected bills kept hitting the fund. Then a teacher announced that the state was going to give a college scholarship to the two top students from her year. Finally, West got the scholarship, allowing her to attend Virginia State College, a historically black university. West decided to major in mathematics because it was a well-respected subject. It was largely studied by men, but she didn’t take much notice of them as she knew deep in her heart that nothing was getting in her way. After graduating, she became a teacher. A few years later, she returned to the university and earned a master’s degree in mathematics. Then she was offered a job at a naval base in Dahlgren, Virginia. This made her only the second black woman to be hired to work as a programmer at the base. Despite her intellectual abilities and career success, West felt she was inferior. It was this feeling, deeply rooted and felt, by many African Americans that drove her to work as hard as she could. West determined to commit herself to her work, hoping that by doing it to the best of her ability, she could get recognition for her work. West did just that. In 1979, she became project manager for the Seasat project, the first satellite that could monitor the oceans. She programmed an IBM 7030 Stretch computer, providing faster calculations for an accurate Earthmodel. This detailed mathematical model of the shape of the Earth was a building block for what would become the GPS orbit. In 1998, aged 68, she intended to focus on her PhD after retirement. She eventually finished her graduation thesis and gained her PhD in public administration and policy affairs in 2000 at the age of 70. 4. What helps Gladys West to go to the university? A. Her teacher’s aiding her. B. Her parents’ paying for the expenses. C. Her family background. D. The scholarship from the government. 5. What can we infer from the text? A. West got all her degrees after retirement. B. Men dominated maths field in West’s days. C. Black women scientists ' talent was fully appreciated. D. When she began to work, West felt she was superior to others. 6. What does the underlined phrase “a building block” in paragraph 5 mean? A. A basic part. B. A detailed map. C. A building material. D. A major obstacle. 7. What kind of person is Gladys West? A. Helpful and serious. B. Honest and hardworking. C. Ambitious and committed. D. Considerate and devoted. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了出生农民家庭的West通过自己的不懈努力考进大学研究数学专业，最后成为一名优秀的女科学家并作出巨大贡献的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Finally, West got the scholarship, allowing her to attend Virginia State College, a historically black university.(最后，West获得了奖学金，使她得以进入弗吉尼亚州立大学，这是一所历史上的黑人大学。)”可知，是奖学金使得West能够进入大学。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“It was largely studied by men, but she didn’t take much notice of them as she knew deep in her heart that nothing was getting in her way.(这主要是由男性研究的，但她并没有太在意他们，因为她内心深处知道，没有什么能阻挡她。)”可知，在West那个时代里，男人主宰着数学领域。故选B项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。划线词句前文“She programmed an IBM 7030 Stretch computer, providing faster calculations for an accurate Earthmodel. (她编写了一台IBM 7030 Stretch计算机，为精确的地球模型提供了更快的计算。)”说明这个数学模型是GPS的基础，从而推知划线词句“(这个关于地球形状的详细数学模型是GPS轨道的a building block。)”其中划线短语应为“基石”的意思，与A项同义。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“West decided to major in mathematics because it was a well-respected subject. It was largely studied by men, but she didn’t take much notice of them as she knew deep in her heart that nothing was getting in her way. After graduating, she became a teacher. A few years later, she returned to the university and earned a master’s degree in mathematics. (West决定主修数学，因为这是一门受人尊敬的学科。这主要是由男性研究的，但她并没有太注意他们，因为她内心深处知道，没有什么能阻挡她。毕业后，她成为了一名教师。几年后，她回到大学，获得了数学硕士学位。)”以及第二段中“In 1998, aged 68, she intended to focus on her PhD after retirement. She eventually finished her graduation thesis and gained her PhD in public administration and policy affairs in 2000 at the age of 70. (1998年，68岁的她打算在退休后专心攻读博士学位。她最终完成了毕业论文，并于2000年以70岁高龄获得了公共行政政策博士学位。)”可知，West是一位有雄心抱负的人。根据第四段中“West determined to commit herself to her work, hoping that by doing it to the best of her ability, she could get recognition for her work. (West决定全身心地投入到自己的工作中，希望通过尽自己最大的努力，让自己的工作得到认可。)”可知，她是一位尽心尽力的人。故选C项。 C WASHINGTON (AP) — Two-thirds of animal and plant populations are declining in genetic diversity, which makes it harder to adapt to environmental changes, according to research published Wednesday. Long before a species goes extinct, the population becomes smaller and more scattered, shrinking (使减少) the number of potential mates and therefore genetic mixing. This leaves a species more at risk to future threats such as disease. “A surprising trend was that we saw genetic diversity declining even among many species that aren’t considered at risk,” said co-author Catherine Grueber, a conservation biologist at the University of Sydney. Researchers examined data for 628 species studied between 1985 and 2019. The greatest losses in genetic variation were seen in birds and mammals. Findings were published in the journal Nature. “When a species has different genetic solutions, it’s better able to deal with changes,” said David Nogués-Bravo at the University of Copenhagen, who was not involved in the study. If a new disease spreads through a population or climate change affects summer rainfall, some individuals will handle better than others, in part because of their genes. Higher genetic diversity also means there’s a greater chance of a species survival. Conservation efforts to connect separated populations-basically expanding the dating pool for a particular species can help maintain or even restore genetic diversity. Florida panthers (佛罗里达美洲狮) are an endangered species that have steadily lost habitat to freeways and urban expansion. By the mid-1990s, the remaining big cats in southern Florida showed clear signs of breeding between close relatives — with bent tails and low male fertility (生育能力). Biologists brought eight female panthers from Texas to Florida. Twenty years later, the number of Florida panthers in the wild has grown significantly and genetic diversity increased, “Isolated populations suffer,” said Duke University ecologist Stuart Pimm, who was not part of the research, “The solution is to reconnect them.” 8. Which is correct about genetic diversity according to the research? A. It remains stable across all species on earth. B. It undergoes a small change in species at risk. C. It experiences great losses in birds and mammals. D. It is declining sharply only in endangered species. 9. What strategy was used to increase the genetic diversity of Florida panthers? A. Building more freeways to expand their habitat. B. Making efforts to reconnect isolated populations. C. Restricting unplanned urban growth in southern Florida. D. Conducting more research through conservation initiatives. 10. What is the author’s tone toward restoring genetic diversity? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Neutral. D. Indifferent. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Genetic Diversity Decline Threatens Species Survival B. Two-thirds of Species Gain Genetic Diversity C. Florida Panthers Recover Through Relocation D. Habitat Reconnection Harms Genetic Health 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了动植物遗传多样性下降威胁物种生存。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The greatest losses in genetic variation were seen in birds and mammals.(鸟类和哺乳动物的遗传变异损失最大)”可知，鸟类和哺乳动物的遗传多样性损失巨大，C正确。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Conservation efforts to connect separated populations-basically expanding the dating pool for a particular species can help maintain or even restore genetic diversity. (将分离的种群连接起来的保护工作——基本上是为特定物种扩大交配范围——可以帮助维持甚至恢复遗传多样性)”以及“Biologists brought eight female panthers from Texas to Florida. Twenty years later, the number of Florida panthers in the wild has grown significantly and genetic diversity increased, “Isolated populations suffer,” said Duke University ecologist Stuart Pimm, who was not part of the research, “The solution is to reconnect them.”(生物学家从德克萨斯州带来了八只雌性美洲狮到佛罗里达州。二十年后，佛罗里达州野外美洲狮的数量显著增加，遗传多样性也增加了，“孤立种群会遭受困境”，并未参与该研究的杜克大学生态学家斯图尔特·皮姆说道，“解决办法就是重新将它们连接起来”)”可知，通过努力重新连接孤立的种群来增加佛罗里达美洲狮的遗传多样性。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Conservation efforts to connect separated populations-basically expanding the dating pool for a particular species can help maintain or even restore genetic diversity. (将分离的种群连接起来的保护工作——基本上是为特定物种扩大交配范围——可以帮助维持甚至恢复遗传多样性。)”以及“Biologists brought eight female panthers from Texas to Florida.

(本周三公布的一项研究表明，三分之二的动植物种群的遗传多样性正在下降，这使得它们更难适应环境变化)”可知，文章主要说明了动植物遗传多样性下降威胁物种生存，故A选项“遗传多样性下降威胁物种生存”适合作为文章的标题。故选A。 D Artificial intelligence (AI ) has been increasingly good at fooling people. A series of photos showing former US president Donald Trump being aggressively arrested by police have caught people’s attention. They were fake but very convincing. Created by the AI program Midjourney, the photos were highly realistic, from the characters’ movements to the surroundings. However, many details can give away the fact that they are made by AI. The Washington Post’s technology writer Shira Ovide shared her tips. The main idea is to spot the problems anything that would look strange in a photo. AI software has a history of generating human hands incorrectly. It sometimes can create hands with more than five fingers. This is because AI isn’t sure what a “hand” exactly is, according to Popular Science. The data AI uses to learn often show hands and fingers in various gestures, which can be very confusing for AI. AI-generated images also usually contain details that are against reality. To spot this, focus on items like accessories. For example, people in an image may be missing earrings or one part of their sunglasses. If there’s text in an image, such as a newspaper or poster, it’s usually garbled (篡改), even though the text may look realistic from a distance. Another thing AI is terrible at handling is the background. If there’s a crowd in the image, people’s faces in the background are usually blurry - or they don’t have faces at all! The development of AI-generated art also raises alarm bells about how these fake images could be used to spread misinformation. “I think misinformation is going to hit an all-time high,” Jamie Cohen, a digital culture and AI expert in the US, told New York Post. Generating an AI artwork is to “create reality”, Cohen argued, adding that, being able to tell whether the work is real or not requires high media literacy(素养) skills. “The world may not be ready for how realistic the images have become,” Shane Kittelson, a US researcher, told The Washington Post. 12. Why are Donald Trump’s photos mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To draw more people’s attention. B. To make people convinced of the news. C. To show the AI-generated images were fake. D. To prove that it’s easy for AI to cheat people. 13. Why does AI generate human hands incorrectly according to the text? A It is unable to recognize human hands. B. The data it uses to learn contain errors. C. It doesn’t fully understand human hands. D. It has insufficient data about human hands. 14. Which of the following will Jamie Cohen agree with? A. AI artworks may not be reflective of true creativity. B. It’s high time to address the risks posed by AI works. C. AI artworks will replace traditional art forms in the future. D. Detecting real art demands strong media literacy competence. 15. Where is the text probably from? A. A news report. B. A diary. C. A research paper. D. A science fiction. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了人工智能(AI)的负面影响，会生成与现实不符的虚假图像，传播错误信息。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Artificial intelligence (AI ) has been increasingly good at fooling people. A series of photos showing former US president Donald Trump being aggressively arrested by police have caught people’s attention. They were fake but very convincing. (人工智能(AI)越来越擅长愚弄人们。近日，美国前总统唐纳德·特朗普被警方强行逮捕的一系列照片引起了人们的关注。它们是假的，但很有说服力。)”可知，第一段提到特朗普的照片，是为了证明人工智能很容易欺骗人们。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“This is because AI isn’t sure what a “hand” exactly is, according to Popular Science. The data AI uses to learn often show hands and fingers in various gestures, which can be very confusing for AI.(据《大众科学》报道，这是因为人工智能不确定“手”到底是什么。人工智能用来学习的数据经常会以各种手势显示手和手指，这可能会让人工智能感到非常困惑。)”可知，人工智能不能完全理解人类的手。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‘I think misinformation is going to hit an all-time high, ’ Jamie Cohen, a digital culture and AI expert in the US, told New York Post. Generating an AI artwork is to ‘create reality’, Cohen argued, adding that, being able to tell whether the work is real or not requires high media literacy(素养) skills. (美国数字文化和人工智能专家Jamie Cohen在接受《纽约邮报》采访时表示：‘我认为错误信息将达到历史新高，’Cohen认为，生成人工智能艺术品就是‘创造现实’，并补充说，能够判断作品是否真实需要很高的媒体素养技能。)”可知，Cohen认为发现真正的艺术需要很强的媒介素养。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The Washington Post’s technology writer Shira Ovide shared her tips.(《华盛顿邮报》的科技作家希拉·奥维德分享了她的建议。)”以及第三段中“This is because AI isn’t sure what a ‘hand’ exactly is, according to Popular Science.(据《大众科学》报道，这是因为人工智能不确定‘手’到底是什么。)”还有最后一段中“I think misinformation is going to hit an all-time high, Jamie Cohen, a digital culture and AI expert in the US, told New York Post. (美国数字文化和人工智能专家Jamie Cohen在接受《纽约邮报》采访时表示：‘我认为错误信息将达到历史新高。’)”可知，文章引用大量采访，结合例子阐释来人工智能(AI)的负面影响，符合新闻报道的特点。故选A项。 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。 Does gardening leave you feeling happy and relaxed?

When we ____21____ our world to include others in a meaningful way, by making a positive difference in their life, we increase our experience at the same time. Think back on a time when someone made a difference in your life. Here is one of mine: I was going to college, working part-time, and just ____22____ getting by financially. Standing in line at a local supermarket, I observed a woman in the same line, thinking that she was not very attractive. As I was ____23____, I discovered that I did not have enough money to pay; without ____24____, that same woman I had been judging offered to make up the difference. It wasn’t ____25____, but what that person did made a lasting impression on me. She was a beautiful, caring soul who was willing to help a stranger in a (an) ____26____ situation. That happened over forty years ago and I remember it as ____27____ as if it was yesterday. Other examples are the numerous times I have had people smile at me, which ____28____ my day. I’ve often wondered if it was because I was smiling, which I ____29____ to do all the time, or because they were smiling to be ____30____, which encouraged me to smile as well. It has probably been some of both. In ____31____ case, that simple gesture (a smile) makes a difference in my day. There are ____32____ ways to make a significant difference in another’s life.

I’d often tie his shoes or prepare another glass of water for him. My mom saw my larger size and strong body as a sign that I was to be a kind of guardian angel (守护天使) for Brian. However, that was not the case. One day our school sponsored a pumpkin-carving contest. First prize was $100, and I knew just how I would spend it. There was a brand-new game I was dying to own. So I decided the first place bonus definitely had to land in my pocket. When I had to carve the perfect pumpkin I’d picked out, it dawned on me that with my big clumsy fingers I’d surely screw it up (搞砸). I thought of Brian’s smaller, delicate hands and knew he was the man for the job. I immediately begged Brian. Unexpectedly, he asked for a cut. That was fifty-fifty. Quickly doing the math in my head, I figured out even if I split (分摊) the first prize, I’d still have enough cash for the game. So I gave in to Brian’s demands. With skillful hands Brian carved the perfect face, and now we had the best pumpkin ever. Then the unexpected happened: We came in second. Unfortunately, second prize was only $50, and I needed every penny of that to buy the game. The day of the awards ceremony, the principal handed over the money to me because Brian was home, sick with cold. If he really wanted to win, he would have been here today, I thought to myself, justifying stealing the cash from under poor Brian’s runny nose. With hardly a thought, I ran to the store and bought my dream game. That night when Brian asked if we had won, I denied, afraid to look into his eyes. The whole thing was never mentioned again until the day when Brian was packing for college. I played my usual role in helping him pack when I came across an old album filled with photos and one of them caught my eye. 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。 Paragraph 1: It was a picture of the pumpkin-carving contest. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “You actually knew and didn’t say anything?” I was shocked. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Paragraph 1: It was a picture of the pumpkin-carving contest. In the photo, we stood proudly beside our perfectly carved pumpkin. Brian’s face was glowing with excitement, and mine was filled with a sense of accomplishment. But then I noticed something I had never seen before — a small note written on the back of the photo. It read, “We did it together. I hope you’re happy.” My heart sank as I realized the weight of my actions all those years ago. I had been so focused on getting what I wanted that I had completely disregarded Brian’s feelings. Thus I apologized to him for my selfishness years ago. Paragraph 2: “You actually knew and didn’t say anything?” I was shocked. Brian had always been the quiet one, but now he looked at me with a mix of disappointment and curiosity. I took a deep breath and decided it was time to come clean. “Brian, I’m so sorry. I was wrong. I should have told you the truth back then.” I handed him the photo and explained everything — how I had taken the money without telling him and how I had lied about the contest results. To my surprise, Brian didn’t seem angry. Instead, he smiled gently and said, “It’s okay, bro. We were kids. What matters is that we’re still here for each other.” His words were like a balm to my conscience, and I realized that true family bonds are stronger than any mistake. 【解析】 【导语】本文以南瓜雕刻比赛为线索展开，主要讲述了作者在南瓜雕刻比赛中让体弱的哥哥Brian帮忙，却独吞奖金，多年后帮哥哥收拾行李，看到了南瓜雕刻比赛的照片。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这是一张南瓜雕刻比赛的照片。”可知，第一段可描写作者看到照片回忆起当年比赛场景，以及发现照片背后哥哥写的话，内心感到愧疚。 ②由第二段首句内容““你其实知道却没说什么？”我很震惊。”可知，第二段可描写作者向哥哥坦白当年自私行为，哥哥原谅作者，作者感悟到亲情的力量。 2. 续写线索：看到照片——回忆比赛——发现留言——感到愧疚——坦白错误——获得原谅——感悟亲情 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①发光：glow/shine ②不理会：disregard/ignore ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①激动：excitement/thrill ②吃惊：surprise/astonishment 【点睛】【高分句型1】My heart sank as I realized the weight of my actions all those years ago.
