Participants will team up to plant vegetables, maintain green spaces, and learn sustainable practices.(社区花园计划（CGP）通过动手活动让青少年参与环境保护，使他们成为具有环保意识的公民。参与者将组队种植蔬菜，维护绿地，并学习可持续发展的做法)”可知，CGP的重点是生态责任。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Requirements for Participation下的“-Tasks: Activities include soil preparation, composting (堆肥), planting native species, and organizing community workshops on sustainability.(-任务：活动包括准备土壤，堆肥，种植本地物种，组织可持续发展社区讲习班)”可知，CGP参与者需要组织可持续发展社区讲习班。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Registration Process下的“3. Confirmation: Participants receive a confirmation email with a unique ID after passing a brief environmental awareness quiz.(确认：参与者在通过一个简短的环保意识测试后，会收到一封带有唯一ID的确认邮件)”可知，接受与否取决于能否通过测试。故选B项。 B Dr. Emily Carter carefully spread a mixture made from Angelica sinensis (当归) on the injured leg of a racehorse named Thunder. “This is not just treatment; it puts old knowledge into practice,” she said. At first, her coworkers at the Kentucky Horse Hospital doubted her methods. However, Carter’s use of Chinese herbal treatments for horse injuries has shown remarkable results. Her interest in traditional medicine began in 2015 during a study program in Beijing. There, she saw Chinese veterinarians (兽医) using herbs like Huangqi (黄芪) to help farm animals recover faster. Inspired, Carter decided to combine Western medical tools with these ancient methods. A study she published in a veterinary journal showed that her patients recovered 30% faster than those treated only with standard methods. Despite her success, some experts argue that more long-term research is needed. They argue that herbs have varying effects on different animals and that clearer guidelines for their use are essential. In response to these concerns, Carter is now working with universities to develop safe and reliable herbal standards. She is confident that this partnership will not only enhance the effectiveness and safety of herbal treatments but also help traditional Chinese medicine gain wider acceptance in the global medical community. In the quiet corner of her clinic, where the scent of dried herbs mixes with the calm breaths of recovering horses, Carter’s work tells a story of its own — a story which reflects a growing trend: mixing Eastern and Western practices in animal care. Her hands, steady and sure, move from tending to a horse’s wound to explaining the delicate balance of nature’s treatments to its owner. “Respecting nature’s wisdom benefits both animals and humans,” she often says, her voice carrying the weight of belief. 4. How did Dr. Carter treat the horse’s injured leg? A. She tried traditional herbs. B. She conducted a surgery on it. C. She applied a new X-ray machine. D. She left the horse to recover by itself. 5. What initially motivated Dr. Carter to use Chinese herbal treatment? A. Peer recommendations. B. Her experience in Beijing. C. A racehorse’s severe injury. D. Laboratory research findings. 6. What is Dr. Carter doing with universities? A. Selling herbal products. B. Studying wild plant species. C. Training more veterinarians. D. Creating recognized herbal rules. 7. What does the last paragraph imply? A. The challenges in western medicine. B. The integration in medical practices. C. The limitations of herbal treatments. D. The importance of modern technology. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了艾米丽・卡特博士将中医草药用于马伤治疗获成效，推动东西方动物医疗实践融合。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Dr. Emily Carter carefully spread a mixture made from Angelica sinensis (当归) on the injured leg of a racehorse named Thunder. ‘This is not just treatment; it puts old knowledge into practice,’ she said.(艾米丽・卡特博士小心翼翼地将一种由当归制成的混合物涂抹在一匹名叫‘雷霆’的赛马受伤的腿上。‘这不仅仅是治疗；这是将古老的知识付诸实践，’ 她说)”可知，卡特博士用传统的草药来治疗马受伤的腿。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Her interest in traditional medicine began in 2015 during a study program in Beijing. There, she saw Chinese veterinarians (兽医) using herbs like Huangqi (黄芪) to help farm animals recover faster. Inspired, Carter decided to combine Western medical tools with these ancient methods.(她对传统医学的兴趣始于2015年在北京的一个学习项目期间。在那里，她看到中国兽医使用像黄芪这样的草药来帮助农场动物更快地康复。受到启发，卡特决定将西方医疗工具与这些古老的方法结合起来)”可知，最初激励卡特博士使用中草药治疗的是她在北京的经历。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In response to these concerns, Carter is now working with universities to develop safe and reliable herbal standards.(为了回应这些担忧，卡特现在正与各大学合作，制定安全可靠的草药标准)”可知，卡特博士正与大学一起创建公认的草药规则。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Carter’s work tells a story of its own — a story which reflects a growing trend: mixing Eastern and Western practices in animal care.(卡特的工作讲述了一个属于它自己的故事 —— 一个反映了一种日益增长的趋势的故事：在动物护理中融合东西方的实践)”以及“‘Respecting nature’s wisdom benefits both animals and humans,’she often says, her voice carrying the weight of belief.(‘尊重自然的智慧对动物和人类都有好处，’她常说，她的声音中充满了信念的分量)”可推知，最后一段暗示了在医疗实践中的融合。故选B项。 C Tristan Yates and her team have discovered something amazing about babies and memory. Even though most of us can’t remember being babies, their research shows that babies can actually form memories! This study, published in the journal Science, used a special brain-scanning machine called an fMRI to look at how babies’ brains work when they see new things. The researchers showed babies pictures of things they had never seen before, like a canyon or a dog toy. About a minute later, they showed the babies the same picture alongside a new one. If the baby remembered the first picture, they would look at it longer. At the same time, the fMRI machine took pictures of the babies’ brains, especially focusing on the hippocampus, a part of the brain that helps with memory. They found that when the hippocampus was more active, the babies were more likely to remember the picture later. Studying babies is formidable because they can’t follow instructions, get bored quickly, and need lots of comfort. To make it work, the researchers created a relaxing environment with toys, blankets, and even bottles to keep the babies happy. Parents were also nearby to help. This discovery is important because it shows that babies’ brains are busy learning and remembering, even if we can’t recall those memories as we grow older. “Even in their earliest months, babies are already absorbing vast amounts of information about the world around them,” said the lead researcher. During this critical period, babies learn essential skills like recognizing their parents, acquiring language, and mastering the basics of movement. The team emphasizes that understanding how babies’ brains work is not just academic — it has profound implications for how we view early development. “Early experiences shape who we become in ways we’re only beginning to understand,” Yates added. “Babies’ earliest memories, though often forgotten, may play a more significant role in their cognitive and emotional development than previously thought.” 8. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By testing biological samples. B. By using brain imaging technology. C. By assessing babies’ language ability. D. By observing babies’ long-term behaviors. 9. Why did the researchers show the babies the same picture? A. To test their memory ability. B. To study their eye movements. C. To attract their attention longer. D. To compare old and new objects. 10. What does the underlined word “formidable” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Immoral. B. Costly. C. Challenging. D. Rewarding. 11. What can we learn about the study from Yates’ words in the last paragraph? A. It proves babies gain all early memories. B. It advises limiting stimulation for babies. C. It claims language is babies’ primary learning focus. D. It emphasizes early experiences’ role in development. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了Tristan Yates及其团队关于婴儿记忆的研究成果。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“This study, published in the journal Science, used a special brain-scanning machine called an fMRI to look at how babies’ brains work when they see new things. (这项发表在《科学》杂志上的研究使用了一种叫做功能磁共振成像的特殊脑部扫描机器来观察婴儿在看到新事物时大脑是如何工作的。)”可知，研究人员通过使用脑成像技术来进行这项研究的。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The researchers showed babies pictures of things they had never seen before, like a canyon or a dog toy. About a minute later, they showed the babies the same picture alongside a new one. If the baby remembered the first picture, they would look at it longer. At the same time, the fMRI machine took pictures of the babies’ brains, especially focusing on the hippocampus, a part of the brain that helps with memory. They found that when the hippocampus was more active, the babies were more likely to remember the picture later. (研究人员向婴儿展示了他们以前从未见过的东西的图片，比如峡谷或狗玩具。大约一分钟后，他们向婴儿们展示了同一张照片和一张新照片。如果婴儿记得第一张图片，他们会看得更久。与此同时，fMRI机器拍摄了婴儿大脑的照片，特别关注海马体，这是大脑中帮助记忆的一部分。他们发现，当海马体更活跃时，婴儿更有可能在以后记住这张照片。)”可知，研究人员给婴儿看同样的照片是为了测试他们的记忆能力。故选A项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据后文“because they can’t follow instructions, get bored quickly, and need lots of comfort. To make it work, the researchers created a relaxing environment with toys, blankets, and even bottles to keep the babies happy. Parents were also nearby to help. (因为他们不能遵循指示，很快就会感到无聊，需要很多安慰。为了让它起作用，研究人员创造了一个放松的环境，用玩具、毯子甚至瓶子来让婴儿开心。家长们也在附近帮忙。)”可知，因为婴儿不能遵循指示，不能自主配合研究员完成研究，所以研究婴儿是一项艰巨的任务，推知formidable意为“有挑战性的”，和C项意思相近。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Early experiences shape who we become in ways we’re only beginning to understand,” Yates added. “Babies’ earliest memories, though often forgotten, may play a more significant role in their cognitive and emotional development than previously thought.” (Yates补充说：“早期的经历以我们才刚刚开始理解的方式塑造了我们。”“婴儿最早的记忆虽然经常被遗忘，但可能在他们的认知和情感发展中发挥的作用比之前认为的更重要。”)”可知，Yates的话强调早期经历在发展中的作用。故选D项。 D The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) into healthcare has been regarded as a breakthrough for its potential to enhance diagnostic (诊断) speed and accuracy. However, a groundbreaking 2024 MIT study exposes a troubling reality: AI systems designed to detect diseases like cancer may accidentally cause health care inequalities due to biased (有偏见的) training data. Dr. Elena Torres, the study’s lead researcher, emphasizes that AI algorithms (算法) trained on datasets from urban, high-income hospitals often fail to account for the diversity of different groups of people. “For example,” she notes, “skin cancer detection models achieve 95% accuracy for light-skinned patients but drop to 62% for darker skin tones. This difference comes from training images not including enough diverse groups of people — less than 10% of skin databases have diverse data of different groups of people.” To quantify this bias Torres’s team analyzed 4.3 million medical records and imaging datasets from 32 countries, spanning 2010–2023. Their findings revealed clear imbalances: 82% of data originated from North America and Europe, while African and South Asian regions contributed only 6%. Consequently, AI models struggled to recognize tropical diseases like cutaneous leishmaniasis, which mainly affect low-income populations. The study further identified “diagnostic prioritization bias.” Algorithms trained on Western data overly flagged common conditions (c. g., breast cancer) but failed to notice rare genetic disorders found in specific communities. In one trial, an AI system misdiagnosed 30% of sickle cell anemia cases in rural Kenyan clinics due to insufficient training examples. The MIT team suggests three steps to solve the problem: sharing data worldwide to make training materials more diverse, checking for bias during AI development, and creating algorithms that can adapt to local health trends. As Torres concludes, “Fair AI is not only right — it’s medically necessary.” 12. What is the central issue discussed in the study? A. High expenses of rural health care. B. Doctors’ resistance to AI adoption. C. Technical limitations of AI hardware. D. Unfair data causing diagnostic errors. 13. What contributes to the difference in AI algorithms’ accuracy rates? A. The lack of diverse training data. B. The complexity of AI algorithms. C. The focus on urban populations in research. D. Public bias towards urban high-income hospitals. 14. The term “diagnostic prioritization bias” in paragraph 4 refers to ______ . A. overemphasizing rare diseases B. traditional diagnosis methods C. relying too much on genetic testing D. overlooking region-specific illnesses 15. What does the MIT team advise in the last paragraph? A. How to improve the overall efficiency of AI systems. B. How to address the challenges of biased AI in health care. C. Ways of ensuring the proper use of AI in medical applications. D. Ways of promoting global cooperation in data science research. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是新闻报道。报道了麻省理工学院（MIT）2024年的一项关于人工智能在医疗领域应用的研究，该研究揭示的人工智能系统因训练数据存在偏见而可能加剧医疗不平等的问题。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“However, a groundbreaking 2024 MIT study exposes a troubling reality: AI systems designed to detect diseases like cancer may accidentally cause health care inequalities due to biased (有偏见的) training data.(然而，麻省理工学院2024年的一项突破性研究揭示了一个令人不安的现实：设计用于检测癌症等疾病的人工智能系统可能会由于有偏见的训练数据而意外导致医疗保健不平等)”可知，研究中讨论的中心问题是不公平的数据导致诊断错误。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Dr. Elena Torres, the study’s lead researcher, emphasizes that AI algorithms (算法) trained on datasets from urban, high-income hospitals often fail to account for the diversity of different groups of people. “For example,” she notes, “skin cancer detection models achieve 95% accuracy for light-skinned patients but drop to 62% for darker skin tones. This difference comes from training images not including enough diverse groups of people — less than 10% of skin databases have diverse data of different groups of people.”(该研究的首席研究员Elena Torres博士强调，在城市高收入医院的数据集上训练的人工智能算法往往无法考虑到不同人群的多样性。“例如，”她指出，“皮肤癌检测模型对浅肤色患者的准确率为95%，但对深肤色患者的准确率则降至62%。这种差异来自于训练图像没有包括足够多的不同人群——不到10%的皮肤数据库拥有不同人群的不同数据。”)”可知，因为缺乏多样化的训练数据，所以导致了人工智能算法准确率的差异。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Algorithms trained on Western data overly flagged common conditions (c. g., breast cancer) but failed to notice rare genetic disorders found in specific communities. In one trial, an AI system misdiagnosed 30%of sickle cell anemia cases in rural Kenyan clinics due to insufficient training examples.(基于西方数据训练的算法过度标记了常见疾病（如乳腺癌），但未能注意到特定社区中发现的罕见遗传疾病。在一项试验中，由于训练样本不足，人工智能系统误诊了肯尼亚农村诊所30%的镰状细胞性贫血病例)”可知，“diagnostic prioritization bias”指忽视特定区域疾病。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The MIT team suggests three steps to solve the problem: sharing data worldwide to make training materials more diverse, checking for bias during AI development, and creating algorithms that can adapt to local health trends. As Torres concludes, “Fair AI is not only right — it’s medically necessary.”(麻省理工学院的研究小组提出了解决问题的三个步骤：在全球范围内共享数据，使培训材料更加多样化，在人工智能开发过程中检查偏见，以及创建能够适应当地健康趋势的算法。正如Torres总结的那样，“公平的AI不仅是正确的，而且在医学上是必要的。”)”可知，麻省理工团队在最后一段给出了关于如何应对医疗保健中有偏见的人工智能带来的挑战的建议。故选B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。 Collapsed on the sofa, eyes half-closed, one part of your brain screams that you should be sleeping, but the other is whispering just one more episode, one more level on that game. ____16____ As defined by researchers Kroese, it is the habit of needlessly and voluntarily delaying going to bed, despite foreseeably being worse off as a result. Why do we keep stuck in the cycle of bedtime procrastination (拖延)? The answer, it turns out, is a mix of digital distractions and our own psychological tendencies. ____17____ Besides, when we’re dealing with negative emotions, it’s appealing to drown them out with some entertainment until we’re too tired to feel anything. How can we break the bad cycle and get back our good night’s sleep? Here are some practical strategies. Establish a consistent bedtime routine. Think back to your childhood. Many of us had bedtime routines that included a set sleep time, a story, or perhaps a bedtime song. As adults, we can benefit from the same consistency. ____18____ Manage digital distractions. ____19____ They entertain, educate, and connect us, but they also distract and keep us awake. Try to make special tech-free times or zones in the bedroom. Use apps or tools that limit screen time or switch your device to nighttime mode to reduce blue light exposure. ____20____ When those negative emotions keep us up, we need to address them directly. Relaxation exercises, such as deep breathing, yoga, or meditation, can help calm our minds and prepare us for sleep. Above all, breaking the cycle of bedtime procrastination won’t happen overnight, but every effort you make, every new habit you form, is a step in the right direction. A. Our smart devices are double-edged swords. B. So what exactly is this bedtime procrastination? C. Identify the causes of it and start making changes. D. Master stress and anxiety management techniques. E. We can set a regular sleep schedule and try to stick to it. F. As life goes tech-driven we spend more time on screens. G. What distracts us when we’re supposed to be concentrating? 【答案】16. B 17. F 18. E 19. A 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章围绕“睡前拖延症”展开，先对睡前拖延症进行了定义，接着分析了导致睡前拖延症的原因，最后针对如何打破睡前拖延的恶性循环、恢复良好睡眠给出了一些切实可行的策略。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Collapsed on the sofa, eyes half-closed, one part of your brain screams that you should be sleeping, but the other is whispering just one more episode, one more level on that game.(瘫倒在沙发上，眼睛半闭着，你大脑一部分尖叫着说你应该睡觉了，但另一部分却在低语，只是再多上一集，再上一关)”以及后文“As defined by researchers Kroese, it is the habit of needlessly and voluntarily delaying going to bed, despite foreseeably being worse off as a result.(根据研究人员克罗斯的定义，这是一种不必要的、自愿推迟上床睡觉的习惯，尽管可以预见结果会更糟)”可知，后文在下定义，所以空处应是提出一个相关概念，B项“So what exactly is this bedtime procrastination?(那么睡前拖延症到底是什么呢？)”承接上文，下文则是对此问的回答。故选B项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Why do we keep stuck in the cycle of bedtime procrastination (拖延)? The answer, it turns out, is a mix of digital distractions and our own psychological tendencies.(为什么我们总是陷入睡前拖延症的怪圈？事实证明，答案是数字干扰和我们自己的心理倾向的结合)”可知，本段解释了为什么我们总是陷入睡前拖延症的怪圈，是因为数字干扰，所以F项“As life goes tech-driven, we spend more time on screens.(随着生活越来越受科技驱动，我们花在屏幕上的时间越来越多)”是对前文提到的数字干扰的详细解释，而后文“Besides, when we’re dealing with negative emotions, it’s appealing to drown them out with some entertainment until we’re too tired to feel anything.(此外，当我们处理负面情绪时，用一些娱乐来淹没它们是很有吸引力的，直到我们太累了，感觉不到任何东西)”则是对心理倾向的详细解释。故选F。 【18题详解】 设空位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“Establish a consistent bedtime routine. Think back to your childhood. Many of us had bedtime routines that included a set sleep time, a story, or perhaps a bedtime song. As adults, we can benefit from the same consistency.(建立一个固定的就寝时间。回想一下你的童年。我们中的许多人都有睡前习惯，包括固定的睡觉时间，听故事，或者听睡前歌。作为成年人，我们可以从同样的一致性中受益)”可知，本段主要讲述建立一个固定的就寝时间，所以E项“We can set a regular sleep schedule and try to stick to it.(我们可以制定一个有规律的睡眠时间表，并尽量坚持下去)”符合本段主题，是对前文的总结。故选E项。 【19题详解】 根据前文“Manage digital distractions.(管理数字干扰)”以及后文“They entertain, educate, and connect us, but they also distract and keep us awake.(它们娱乐、教育和连接我们，但它们也会分散我们的注意力，让我们保持清醒)”可知，后文讲述电子产品有好处也有坏处，所以A项“Our smart devices are double-edged swords.(我们的智能设备是一把双刃剑)”符合本段主题，下文是对本句的解释。故选A项。 【20题详解】 设空位于段首，为本段中心句，根据后文“When those negative emotions keep us up, we need to address them directly. Relaxation exercises, such as deep breathing, yoga, or meditation, can help calm our minds and prepare us for sleep.(当这些负面情绪困扰我们时，我们需要直接解决它们。放松练习，如深呼吸、瑜伽或冥想，可以帮助我们平静头脑，为睡觉做准备)”可知，本段讲述怎么处理负面情绪，所以D项“Master stress and anxiety management techniques.(掌握压力和焦虑管理技巧)”符合本段主题，为中心句。故选D项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I moved from London to a hilly area of rural France in 2017, I brought my bike with me.

The once-perfect setup for her bean plant experiment now lay in chaos. That was what she was going to exhibit at the school science fair next week. For weeks, she had closely observed her bean plants in natural light, carefully noting how their leaves reached for the sun and their stems gradually bent towards the warmth. She filled her notebook with details of the bean plants’ growth and daily weather impacts. She also took many pictures to show their growth process. The disaster struck during her evening check. As she reached to adjust one bean plant which was leaning to one side, her elbow hit the glass wall. Suddenly, the terrarium tipped over. Soil and equipment fell to the floor. “Only ten days left for the science fair! The time is killing me. There’s no way I can finish this in such a short time!” she murmured in a desperate tonc, with tears welling up in her eyes. The next day, Emma came to school early and sat sobbing (啜泣) softly in the classroom. That’s where her best friend Lily found her. Hearing what happened, she hugged Emma and comforted her. “We’ll fix this,” she said firmly, wiping away Emma’s tears. “Remember in bio class when we learned red light can speed up plant growth? Let’s try that!” Just then, Mr. Carter, their biology teacher, walked into the classroom and overheard their conversation. “You’re right,” he said, joining them. “Red light can accelerate growth, but it needs constant monitoring. I’ve got extra grow lamps in the storage room. I’ll bring them to help.” He brought over lamps together with a new terrarium and give them detailed instructions on setup. “Check the plants daily for the soil conditions and signs of growth. If you have any issues, let me know right away. Good luck!” Mr. Carter added before leaving. 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。 Immediately, the two girls began their new experiment. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the day for the science fair arrived. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Immediately, the two girls began their new experiment. They carefully replanted the surviving bean sprouts in the new terrarium, positioning the red grow lamps precisely according to Mr. Carter’s instructions. Lily helped record data while Emma adjusted the light exposure duration daily. Though anxious, they maintained strict schedules, even staying after school to monitor soil moisture. To their relief, tiny leaves started unfurling faster than expected by the fifth day. “Look! The stems are bending toward the light again!” Emma exclaimed, comparing current growth photos with earlier records. Their teamwork transformed despair into determination, with progress visible each morning. Finally, the day for the science fair arrived. Emma’s display showcased her original research notes alongside dramatic before-and-after photos of the revived plants. The terrarium now held vigorous bean plants with pronounced phototropic curves. Visitors marveled at her detailed documentation of accelerated growth under red light. When judges praised her scientific approach in overcoming accidents, Emma gratefully acknowledged Lily and Mr. Carter’s assistance. Though her experiment had taken an unexpected turn, it ultimately demonstrated both plant resilience and the power of collaborative problem-solving. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Emma是一个热爱科学实验的学生，她精心培育豆苗准备参加学校的科学展览，但在调整实验装置时不小心打碎了生物育养箱，导致实验面临失败。绝望之际，她的好友Lily用生物学知识提出用红光加速植物生长的方案，而生物老师Mr. Carter也及时提供了设备支持和技术指导。最终，在朋友和老师的帮助下，Emma重拾信心，尝试用科学方法挽救实验。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“两个女孩立即开始了她们的新实验。”可知，第一段可描写Emma和Lily实验的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“终于，科学博览会的日子到了。”可知，第二段可描写Emma和Lily的成果，在科学博览会上获得大家的赞赏，以及Emma对Lily和Mr. Carter的感谢。 2. 续写线索：重新开始实验——Lily帮助记录数据——尽管焦虑，但是耐心等待——进展顺利——科学博览会的日子到了——获得赞赏——感谢。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①监测：monitor/observe ②呼喊：exclaim/yell ③展示：showcase/display 情绪类 ①焦虑：anxious/apprehensive ②感激地：gratefully/thankfully 【点睛】[高分句型1]When judges praised her scientific approach in overcoming accidents, Emma gratefully acknowledged Lily and Mr. Carter’s assistance.(运用了when引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型2]Though her experiment had taken an unexpected turn, it ultimately demonstrated both plant resilience and the power of collaborative problem-solving.(运用了 though引导的让步状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2024—2025学年度第二学期期中考试 高二英语 2025.04 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案划在试卷上。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1.5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?

B Dr. Emily Carter carefully spread a mixture made from Angelica sinensis (当归) on the injured leg of a racehorse named Thunder. “This is not just treatment; it puts old knowledge into practice,” she said. At first, her coworkers at the Kentucky Horse Hospital doubted her methods. However, Carter’s use of Chinese herbal treatments for horse injuries has shown remarkable results. Her interest in traditional medicine began in 2015 during a study program in Beijing. There, she saw Chinese veterinarians (兽医) using herbs like Huangqi (黄芪) to help farm animals recover faster. Inspired, Carter decided to combine Western medical tools with these ancient methods. A study she published in a veterinary journal showed that her patients recovered 30% faster than those treated only with standard methods. Despite her success, some experts argue that more long-term research is needed. They argue that herbs have varying effects on different animals and that clearer guidelines for their use are essential. In response to these concerns, Carter is now working with universities to develop safe and reliable herbal standards. She is confident that this partnership will not only enhance the effectiveness and safety of herbal treatments but also help traditional Chinese medicine gain wider acceptance in the global medical community. In the quiet corner of her clinic, where the scent of dried herbs mixes with the calm breaths of recovering horses, Carter’s work tells a story of its own — a story which reflects a growing trend: mixing Eastern and Western practices in animal care. Her hands, steady and sure, move from tending to a horse’s wound to explaining the delicate balance of nature’s treatments to its owner. “Respecting nature’s wisdom benefits both animals and humans,” she often says, her voice carrying the weight of belief. 4. How did Dr. Carter treat the horse’s injured leg? A. She tried traditional herbs. B. She conducted a surgery on it. C. She applied a new X-ray machine. D. She left the horse to recover by itself. 5. What initially motivated Dr. Carter to use Chinese herbal treatment? A. Peer recommendations. B. Her experience in Beijing. C. A racehorse’s severe injury. D. Laboratory research findings. 6. What is Dr. Carter doing with universities? A. Selling herbal products. B. Studying wild plant species. C. Training more veterinarians. D. Creating recognized herbal rules. 7. What does the last paragraph imply? A. The challenges in western medicine. B. The integration in medical practices. C The limitations of herbal treatments. D. The importance of modern technology. C Tristan Yates and her team have discovered something amazing about babies and memory. Even though most of us can’t remember being babies, their research shows that babies can actually form memories! This study, published in the journal Science, used a special brain-scanning machine called an fMRI to look at how babies’ brains work when they see new things. The researchers showed babies pictures of things they had never seen before, like a canyon or a dog toy. About a minute later, they showed the babies the same picture alongside a new one. If the baby remembered the first picture, they would look at it longer. At the same time, the fMRI machine took pictures of the babies’ brains, especially focusing on the hippocampus, a part of the brain that helps with memory. They found that when the hippocampus was more active, the babies were more likely to remember the picture later. Studying babies is formidable because they can’t follow instructions, get bored quickly, and need lots of comfort. To make it work, the researchers created a relaxing environment with toys, blankets, and even bottles to keep the babies happy. Parents were also nearby to help. This discovery is important because it shows that babies’ brains are busy learning and remembering, even if we can’t recall those memories as we grow older. “Even in their earliest months, babies are already absorbing vast amounts of information about the world around them,” said the lead researcher. During this critical period, babies learn essential skills like recognizing their parents, acquiring language, and mastering the basics of movement. The team emphasizes that understanding how babies’ brains work is not just academic — it has profound implications for how we view early development. “Early experiences shape who we become in ways we’re only beginning to understand,” Yates added. “Babies’ earliest memories, though often forgotten, may play a more significant role in their cognitive and emotional development than previously thought.” 8. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By testing biological samples. B. By using brain imaging technology. C. By assessing babies’ language ability. D. By observing babies’ long-term behaviors. 9. Why did the researchers show the babies the same picture? A. To test their memory ability. B. To study their eye movements. C. To attract their attention longer. D. To compare old and new objects. 10. What does the underlined word “formidable” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Immoral. B. Costly. C. Challenging. D. Rewarding. 11. What can we learn about the study from Yates’ words in the last paragraph? A. It proves babies gain all early memories. B. It advises limiting stimulation for babies. C. It claims language is babies’ primary learning focus. D. It emphasizes early experiences’ role in development. D The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) into healthcare has been regarded as a breakthrough for its potential to enhance diagnostic (诊断) speed and accuracy. However, a groundbreaking 2024 MIT study exposes a troubling reality: AI systems designed to detect diseases like cancer may accidentally cause health care inequalities due to biased (有偏见的) training data. Dr. Elena Torres, the study’s lead researcher, emphasizes that AI algorithms (算法) trained on datasets from urban, high-income hospitals often fail to account for the diversity of different groups of people. “For example,” she notes, “skin cancer detection models achieve 95% accuracy for light-skinned patients but drop to 62% for darker skin tones. This difference comes from training images not including enough diverse groups of people — less than 10% of skin databases have diverse data of different groups of people.” To quantify this bias, Torres’s team analyzed 4.3 million medical records and imaging datasets from 32 countries, spanning 2010–2023. Their findings revealed clear imbalances: 82% of data originated from North America and Europe, while African and South Asian regions contributed only 6%. Consequently, AI models struggled to recognize tropical diseases like cutaneous leishmaniasis, which mainly affect low-income populations. The study further identified “diagnostic prioritization bias.” Algorithms trained on Western data overly flagged common conditions (c. g., breast cancer) but failed to notice rare genetic disorders found in specific communities. In one trial, an AI system misdiagnosed 30% of sickle cell anemia cases in rural Kenyan clinics due to insufficient training examples. The MIT team suggests three steps to solve the problem: sharing data worldwide to make training materials more diverse, checking for bias during AI development, and creating algorithms that can adapt to local health trends. As Torres concludes, “Fair AI is not only right — it’s medically necessary.” 12. What is the central issue discussed in the study? A. High expenses of rural health care. B. Doctors’ resistance to AI adoption. C. Technical limitations of AI hardware. D. Unfair data causing diagnostic errors. 13. What contributes to the difference in AI algorithms’ accuracy rates? A. The lack of diverse training data. B. The complexity of AI algorithms. C. The focus on urban populations in research. D. Public bias towards urban high-income hospitals. 14. The term “diagnostic prioritization bias” in paragraph 4 refers to ______ . A. overemphasizing rare diseases B. traditional diagnosis methods C. relying too much on genetic testing D. overlooking region-specific illnesses 15. What does the MIT team advise in the last paragraph? A. How to improve the overall efficiency of AI systems. B. How to address the challenges of biased AI in health care. C. Ways of ensuring the proper use of AI in medical applications. D. Ways of promoting global cooperation in data science research. 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。 Collapsed on the sofa, eyes half-closed, one part of your brain screams that you should be sleeping, but the other is whispering just one more episode, one more level on that game. ____16____ As defined by researchers Kroese, it is the habit of needlessly and voluntarily delaying going to bed, despite foreseeably being worse off as a result. Why do we keep stuck in the cycle of bedtime procrastination (拖延)? The answer, it turns out, is a mix of digital distractions and our own psychological tendencies. ____17____ Besides, when we’re dealing with negative emotions, it’s appealing to drown them out with some entertainment until we’re too tired to feel anything. How can we break the bad cycle and get back our good night’s sleep? Here are some practical strategies. Establish a consistent bedtime routine. Think back to your childhood. Many of us had bedtime routines that included a set sleep time, a story, or perhaps a bedtime song. As adults, we can benefit from the same consistency. ____18____ Manage digital distractions. ____19____ They entertain, educate, and connect us, but they also distract and keep us awake. Try to make special tech-free times or zones in the bedroom. Use apps or tools that limit screen time or switch your device to nighttime mode to reduce blue light exposure. ____20____ When those negative emotions keep us up, we need to address them directly. Relaxation exercises, such as deep breathing, yoga, or meditation, can help calm our minds and prepare us for sleep. Above all, breaking the cycle of bedtime procrastination won’t happen overnight, but every effort you make, every new habit you form, is a step in the right direction. A. Our smart devices are double-edged swords. B. So what exactly is this bedtime procrastination? C. Identify the causes of it and start making changes. D. Master stress and anxiety management techniques. E. We can set a regular sleep schedule and try to stick to it. F. As life goes tech-driven, we spend more time on screens. G What distracts us when we’re supposed to be concentrating? 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I moved from London to a hilly area of rural France in 2017, I brought my bike with me.

The once-perfect setup for her bean plant experiment now lay in chaos. That was what she was going to exhibit at the school science fair next week. For weeks, she had closely observed her bean plants in natural light, carefully noting how their leaves reached for the sun and their stems gradually bent towards the warmth. She filled her notebook with details of the bean plants’ growth and daily weather impacts. She also took many pictures to show their growth process. The disaster struck during her evening check. As she reached to adjust one bean plant which was leaning to one side, her elbow hit the glass wall. Suddenly, the terrarium tipped over. Soil and equipment fell to the floor. “Only ten days left for the science fair! The time is killing me. There’s no way I can finish this in such a short time!” she murmured in a desperate tonc, with tears welling up in her eyes. The next day, Emma came to school early and sat sobbing (啜泣) softly in the classroom. That’s where her best friend Lily found her. Hearing what happened, she hugged Emma and comforted her. “We’ll fix this,” she said firmly, wiping away Emma’s tears. “Remember in bio class when we learned red light can speed up plant growth? Let’s try that!” Just then, Mr. Carter, their biology teacher, walked into the classroom and overheard their conversation. “You’re right,” he said, joining them. “Red light can accelerate growth, but it needs constant monitoring. I’ve got extra grow lamps in the storage room. I’ll bring them to help.” He brought over lamps together with a new terrarium and give them detailed instructions on setup. “Check the plants daily for the soil conditions and signs of growth. If you have any issues, let me know right away. Good luck!” Mr. Carter added before leaving. 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。 Immediately, the two girls began their new experiment. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the day for the science fair arrived. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
