To people who love seafood,oysters (can be a delicious treat.Others value them as a
source of precious pearls.But to Demi Johnson,a 15-year-old from Mississippi,US,oysters are
very useful for the environment.
"After learning that oyster reefs and gardens are endangered,I felt inspired to help the
environment and give back,"Johnson told WLOX,a news website.
The Mississippi Department of Marine Resources says that the number of oysters in
Mississippi's coastal waters has dropped a lot because of human-made and natural disasters.
Johnson argued that the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill,as well as the 2020 opening of the
Bonnet Carre Spillway,a flood control project,made the situation more severe."My solution is
to partner with educational institutions and teach others to grow their own off-farm oysters,"she
told How Africa News.
When Johnson started oyster gardening in 2022 at Schooner Pier on Biloxi Bay,she didn't
know anything about the subject.Today,she's something of an expert.Through oyster gardening,
she learned many things:a single oyster can clean up to 50 gallons of seawater a day,removing
algae and harmful organisms.Big groups of oysters form reefs,providing habitat for hundreds of
other sea creatures.
Now,Johnson has already raised more than 1,500 oysters,which will have a tremendous
ecological impact by releasing millions of larvae (into the environment.During oyster
gardening season,she and her mom go to Biloxi Bay to check her cages and remove algae and
predators such as snails and crabs.She also tries to encourage others to get involved."You don't
have to do a lot to take care of your oyster garden",she told Times for Kids,"but the impact it
has on the environment is great."
She was also a great supporter of ecological causes.Last year,after winning a National
Geographic award for her efforts to recover her state's oyster population,Johnson donated the
$1,000 cash prize to the Mississippi Oyster Gardening Program.

World Sleep Day fell on March 21 this year,and the problem of sleep deprivation (
among teenagers has come into focus.
Many teenagers feel sleepy during the day because of busy schedules filled with homework,
extracurricular activities and the temptation to use electronic devices.A report issued by the
Chinese Sleep Research Society on March 16 showed that more than half of young people born
after 2000 in China fall asleep after midnight,reported Shanghai Observer.In the US,77.3
percent of high school students do not get enough sleep,according to USAFacts.
Quality sleep is important for people of any age,but especially so for teenagers.They need
nine to ten hours of sleep each day to function at their best,said the US National Institutes of
Health.This is more than what they need both as children and later as adults because of the deep
mental,physical,social and emotional development that takes place during adolescence,said the
website Sleep Foundation.
For students,sleep plays a key role in school performance by improving attention,memory
and thinking skills.It helps sharpen the mind and facilitates (learning.Besides helping
with learning,sleep also supports teenagers'creative abilities.This link was first studied in the
late 20th century when researchers at Loughborough University in the UK compared creative
performance between sleep-deprived people and those who slept normally.The first group scored
lower on the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking.They often repeated the same mistakes and had
trouble coming up with new ideas.
More recently,in 2023,a team led by Kathleen Esfahany at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT)identified a stage of sleep called"sleep onset",which provides a special time
高一英语试题第5页共10页
for creativity.This phase happens when we are between being awake and asleep.The
MIT team found that when people are prompted (to dream about a certain topic
during sleep onset,they perform more creatively on related tasks after waking up,
reported MIT News
28.All of the following are factors resulting in teenagers'sleep deprivation EXCEPT
A.heavy homework load
B.late-night use of smartphones
C.early school start time
D.participation in after-school sports
29.How did sleep-deprived individuals perform based on the Loughborough University
study?
A.Higher scores but less creative
B.Poorer performance with repeated errors.
C.Average results yet innovative.
D.Unchanged creativity and declined memory.
30.What did the MIT team discover about the"sleep onset"stage?
A.It only occurs in teenagers.
B.It provides a chance for creativity
C.It is the deepest stage of sleep.
D.It helps people remember dreams better.
31.What is the text mainly about?
A.The causes and effects of teenagers'sleep deprivation.
B.The importance of sleep for academic performance.
C.The link between quality sleep and creativity.
D.The sleep patterns and stages of global teenagers.

AI image generation seems to be everywhere:on TikTok,the popular AI filter
)shows you what you look like in the cartoon style.There's no denying that they're
fun.
While there's an initial excitement at seeing an image appear,there's no creative
satisfaction.Children's illustrators (were quick to raise concerns about the
technology on social media.Among them is illustrator Rob Biddulph.Biddulph says,
"AI-generated art is the exact opposite of what I believe art to be.Basically,I have
always felt that art is all about translating something that you feel internally into
something that exists externally.True art is about the creative process much more than
the final piece.And simply pressing a button to generate an image is not a creative
process.”
Beyond creativity,there are deeper issues.To create images,AI generators rely on
databases of already existing art and text.Illustrator Anoosha Syed says,"AI can only
copy.AI doesn't create its own.It samples everyone's and then mashes it into
something else.This is essentially what AI art is doing."
高一英语试题第6页共10页
The blurring()of creative boundaries is leaving many artists raging against the AI
art generators.What's more,there's a more underlying danger:the ability to create images
that are potentially illegal.
The increasing use of Al,says illustrator Dapo Adeola,will also lead to a devaluing of
the work of artists.“For me,”he says,“there's already a negative bias(偏见)towards the
creative industry.Something like this strengthens an argument that what we do is easy and we
shouldn't be able to earn the money we command."
The influences of AI image generation are far-reaching and could impact everything from
films to graphic novels and more,but artists and illustrators firmly believe their fans won't be
convinced by AI art."Children's books are highly complex,various forms of communication,"
r
says illustrator Harry Woodgate."The kids who read them expect a great deal,not only from
:
月
the stories and illustrations,but from the people who make them."
32.What is Rob Biddulph's opinion of Al image generation?
典
A.It can translate something external.
B.It showcases a process of creativity.
C.It focuses more on the final work.
D.It can't create its works but copy.
33.What does the underlined word"raging"mean in Paragraph 4?
A.Angry.
B.Confused.
C.Serious.
D.Excited.
34.Which of the following does Dapo Adeola agree with?
柄
A.AI image generation is potentially illegal.
B.AI art has a significant effect on creativity
C.Artistic work lacks complexity and challenge
D.The popularity of AI reduces the value of the works.
35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
拟
.:
A.Artists and kids rarely communicate.
B.AI images have no effect on kids'books
C.Children expect AI images from books.
D.Artists doubt if AI images satisfy their fans.

Throughout my experience as an early childhood teacher,I noticed very quickly that
some children are highly competitive,eager to win,while others are concerned about losing.
The competitive children often have a harder time dealing with strong emotions when they
face defeat.It's clear that no one enjoys losing.36.
Approach disappointment from losing.
Although feeling disappointed is completely normal,37.Children react differently
some may be ready to jump back to play,while others might need a hug,time,music,or a
book to help them calm down.It's important to remind your children that there are various
ways to process disappointment.

Teach your children that even in moments of upset or disappointment,they can demonstrate
good sportsmanship by congratulating the winners.Discuss the emotions of those who didn't win,
encouraging your children to consider how they might be feeling and if they've experienced
something similar before.Recognizing others'feelings can often help children cope with their own
emotions
Talk about luck and chance.
Certain games take more on luck than skills.Talk with children about luck and chance and help
them understand that sometimes they draw cards that lead to victory,while other times they do not.
39
●Focus on effort.

Catherine and Gemma King must never have felt so separated.In this Saturday's race,one twin
Catherine,is rowing for Oxford,while the other,Gemma,is in the Cambridge boat.
Being a twin is a fascinating relationship."We've often been 41 ,Catherine says."And
that means we're always 42 each other to do better.We live with sisterly competition-but at
the same time we get on really well."Gemma adds,"We're best friends and we43 each
other.”
On Saturday,that will be put aside.The twins aren't actually in the same race,which may
disappoint them but also offer some 44.
The twins,who are now 24,grew up as two 45 sisters.They had an introductory session
on the 46 when they were 12."And we got 47,"Catherine says.In their school years,
they rowed in the same group and,48,as a pair.
After school they both went to Cambridge,where 49 they carried on rowing.And now
they're both studying for 50 degree,only at different universities.After 51 her
undergraduate degree at Cambridge,Catherine went to Oxford for a four-year PhD in cardiovascular
science.Gemma,meanwhile,stayed at Cambridge to study stem cell biology."Rowing is a52
from academic life,"Catherine says.
Both agree that part of the fascination of rowing is how a team 53 as a group of
individuals and gradually transforms into a united one.Gemma says,"People come from different
backgrounds and have a wide 54 of abilities.Now we work together to make it the fastest boat
possible.”

Reading Taipei People by Pai Hsien-yung felt like opening a window into the lives of my
Grandparents'generation.The book is 56
collection of short stories that show the
experiences of people who came to Taiwan from the Chinese mainland in 1949.
Although these characters live in Taipei,they are haunted by memories of their old lives in their
hometown Each story describes the 57(character)struggles with identity and a sense of
belonging.
58
struck me most is how these characters try to fit into society in Taiwan while
feeling
59
(disconnect)from it.In some ways,I see this lack of connection in today's
Taiwan too.While the book focuses on an older generation,the theme of searching for a place to
belong still
60(feel)relevant.As students,we also face pressure to figure out who we are
and how
61
(fit)in-a challenge when surrounded by both traditional Taiwan culture
and modern
62(globe)trends.
One story that particularly stood out to me was Glory's by Blossom Bridge,63
tells
of an aging woman holding tightly to her memories of wealth and position in Shanghai.It made me
reflect 64 how we too sometimes hold onto the past to avoid an unknowable future.
This book gave me a deeper understanding of the emotions of an older generation,
65
(make)me think about my sense of identity and how I fit into Taiwan's complex cultural
background.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Grace was unsure how the cruel rumor()had started,but it was rapidly spreading
throughout the school.Students whispered it as she walked through the halls.Some pointed
fingers,while others wrote notes in class.The rumor falsely claimed that"Grace gets good
grades because she cheats on her exams."This was entirely untrue.Grace dedicated herself to
her studies,spending countless hours after school reviewing her notes and preparing for tests.
She truly cared about her education and even missed a few friends'birthday parties to hit the
books.
Grace always actively participated in class discussions,ensured her homework was
completed on time,and never missed a lesson,even when exhaustion set in from her efforts.
Her commitment to her studies was a source of pride for her,so the rumor felt especially
hurtful.Despite trying to be kind and supportive to everyone around her,she couldn't
understand why this was happening.
One day in science class,the students were divided into groups for a lab experiment,and
Grace was paired with Joe,someone she wasn't enthusiastic about working with.Joe had
been unkind to her ever as Grace had missed her birthday party to study.Grace suspected that
Joe might have even been the one who started the rumor about her cheating.
Still,Grace decided to put her feelings aside for the sake of the project.She thought
about how important it was for their teamwork to succeed.As they began the experiment,she
focused on cooperation,though the tension between them was obvious.Grace hoped that if
she remained dedicated to the task,perhaps she could show Joe that hard work and honesty
truly mattered.
But Joe said all Grace cared about was being the best,and that was why she cheated.
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。
She couldn't understand why Joe was being so unfair.
They continued working on the experiment,and slowly,a sense of cooperation began to
develop.
