Then in 2011, she chanced upon a life-changing opportunity to volunteer with a research team led by Ma Ming, a professor at the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Huang spent several months engaging in fieldwork alongside the team, burying herself in bird observation and conservation efforts, and deepening her interest in environmental preservation. That brief experience helped shape her future career. “When the delicate golden eagle, raised under our care, spread its wings and flew into the sky, I felt a deep sense of responsibility to protect the ecological environment of my hometown and devote myself to preserving biodiversity,” recalled Huang, a native of Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. She is now a full-time wildlife conservationist and cofounder of a nature conservation and science popularization center in Saybag district in the regional capital Urumqi. The center is committed to heightening environmental consciousness and conservation efforts. Over the last decade, Huang and her colleagues have recorded more than 200 butterfly species and submitted their research findings to local forestry and grassland departments and research institutions, providing vital data for biodiversity conservation. They have also worked to raise awareness of biodiversity conservation among primary and secondary students across Xinjiang, helping guide them in understanding the importance of nature. “We tell the students how animals like butterflies, squirrels and snow leopards forage and set up homes. They listen with great interest,” she said. “I hope the children can realize that wildlife is our friend.” Currently, Huang is working on a book about butterfly conservation that integrates the traditional culture of the 24 Chinese solar terms. “I want to write about the habitats of 24 butterfly species and the corresponding ecological protection stories. My goal is to help more people understand the importance of harmony between humanity and nature, and encourage efforts in protecting nature and biodiversity,” she said. 24. What was the turning point in Huang Yahui’s career? A. Her childhood fascination with nature. B. Her participation in adventurous outdoor activities in her 20s. C. Her volunteer experience with a research team led by Ma Ming in 2011. D. Her work at the nature conservation and science popularization center. 25. What have Huang Yahui and her colleagues done over the last decade? A. They have organized large-scale wildlife conservation conferences. B. They have published numerous scientific findings on butterfly species. C. They have developed a few techniques for preserving butterfly species. D. They have recorded butterfly species and promoted environmental awareness. 26. Which of the following best describes Huang Yahui? A. Curious and energetic. B. Enthusiastic and devoted. C. Adventurous and sympathetic. D. Knowledgeable and influential. 27. What is the most likely content of Huang Yahui’s book he is working on recently? A. It may focus on the importance of harmony between humanity and nature. B. It may stress the 24 Chinese solar terms and their great effect on butterflies. C. It may document the personal stories and efforts of butterfly conservationists. D. It may detail butterfly species’ habitats and their ecological protection stories. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了40岁的黄亚慧从热爱自然到投身野生动物保护事业，成为全职保护工作者及科普中心创始人，通过记录蝴蝶物种、开展环保教育等工作推动生物多样性保护，并计划撰写相关书籍以传播生态保护理念。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Then in 2011, she chanced upon a life-changing opportunity to volunteer with a research team led by Ma Ming, a professor at the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Huang spent several months engaging in fieldwork alongside the team, burying herself in bird observation and conservation efforts, and deepening her interest in environmental preservation.

In fact, you probably do it every day. Here’s what Friedrich Nietzsche wrote: “It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth.” It’s not just great minds who made a case for it as a prime creativity booster. Researchers have traced numerous connections between walking and generating ideas. A Stanford University study found that participants were 81 percent more creative when walking as opposed to sitting. According to the study, for participants who walked and then sat down to do creative work, a walk could be a catalyst for having fresh insights into problems or projects. The movement aspect of walking is obviously key. You’ve probably heard the phrase “Exercise your creativity”, which refers to the brain as muscle. Our creative mindset is triggered by physical movement, which is exactly why walking feeds creative thinking. But the scenery is almost as important as the sweat. The National Human Activity Pattern Survey reveals that Americans spend 87 percent of their time indoors. Being inside, you’re more likely to stagnate (停滞), the opposite of energy. Without energy, you can’t wonder or create. Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your habitual surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities. Our brains work harder to process in different environments, so walking outside develops our ability to produce new ideas, to take in new sights, sounds, smells, and flavors. Research has shown that immersion in nature, and the corresponding disconnection from multimedia and technology, increased performance on a creative problem-solving task by a full 50 percent in a group of hikers. So turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to be present in the world, to hear conversations and natural sounds, to notice the way people move, the way the sun reflects in a puddle. 28. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic of walking . B. To describe the daily habits of great minds. C. To explain the scientific benefits of exercise. D. To criticize the lack of physical activity in modern life. 29. What does the underlined word in the second paragraph “catalyst” probably mean? A. A complex situation in issue-solving. B. The solution to a long-standing issue. C A substance that promotes a new process. D. An obstacle that blocks new understandings. 30. What are two key factors that contribute to creativity when walking outside? A. The physical movement and the change of scenery. B. The outside fresh air and the reduction of technology use. C. The improvement in mood and the increase in social interactions. D. The increase in physical exercise and the decrease in indoor activities. 31. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. The Science of Creative Thinking. B. The Power of Walking for Creativity. C. The Ways of Improving Your Creativity. D. The Benefits of Taking Outdoor Exercise. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了步行对创造力的促进作用，包括步行中身体运动和外界风景对创造力的影响，呼吁人们关掉手机多去户外步行以激发创造力。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“If a president, a legendary philosopher, and one of the bestselling authors of all time credited the same secret for their success, would you try to follow it too? In fact, you probably do it every day. Here’s what Friedrich Nietzsche wrote: “It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth.”(如果一位总统、一位传奇哲学家以及一位有史以来最畅销的作家之一，都把他们成功的秘诀归结为同一件事，你会试着也去遵循这个秘诀吗？事实上，你很可能每天都在这么做。弗里德里希・尼采曾写道：“只有在行走时获得的想法才有价值。”)”可知，本段先提出一个问题，然后引用尼采的话引出了步行这一话题，所以第一段的主要目的是引入步行这个话题。故选A。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句“According to the study, for participants who walked and then sat down to do creative work, a walk could be a catalyst for having fresh insights into problems or projects. (根据这项研究，对于那些先散步然后坐下来进行创造性工作的参与者来说，散步可以成为对问题或项目产生新见解的……)”可知，对于先散步然后坐下来进行创造性工作的参与者来说，散步能够让他们对问题或项目有新的见解。所以“catalyst”在这里的意思应该是促进新过程的事物。选项C“A substance that promotes a new process.(促进新过程的物质)”与此相符。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The movement aspect of walking is obviously key. You’ve probably heard the phrase “Exercise your creativity”, which refers to the brain as muscle. Our creative mindset is triggered by physical movement, which is exactly why walking feeds creative thinking.(散步中的运动方面显然是关键。你可能听过“锻炼你的创造力”这句话，它把大脑比作肌肉。我们的创造性思维是由身体运动激发的，这正是散步能够促进创造性思维的原因)”可知，散步中的运动方面是关键，身体运动能触发创造性思维。再根据文章第四段中“But the scenery is almost as important as the sweat.(但周围的风景几乎和汗水一样重要)”和第五段中“Our brains work harder to process in different environments, so walking outside develops our ability to produce new ideas, to take in new sights, sounds, smells, and flavors.(我们的大脑在不同的环境中会更加努力地进行信息处理，所以在户外散步能够提升我们产生新想法的能力，让我们去感受新的景象、声音、气味和味道)”则指出户外散步时周围的风景也很重要。由此推断，散步时的身体运动和风景的变化是促进创造力的两个关键因素。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章开篇通过尼采的话以及一些成功人士对散步的推崇引出散步这一话题，接着详细阐述了斯坦福大学的研究表明散步能提升创造力，还指出散步时的身体运动和户外风景是促进创造力的关键因素，并且在户外散步能让大脑更努力地处理信息，从而提高产生新想法的能力。选项B“The Power of Walking for Creativity.(散步对创造力的力量)”准确地概括了文章的核心内容，是文章的最佳标题。故选B。 D Imagine an artificial intelligence model that can watch and understand moving images like you and me. Now, scientists have made this a reality by creating MovieNet: an innovative AI that processes videos much like how our brains interpret real-life scenes. This brain-inspired AI model can perceive dynamic scenes by simulating (模拟) how neurons (神经元) make real-time sense of the world. While conventional AI excels at still image recognition, MovieNet is designed to understand complex, dynamic scenes, allowing it to recognize tiny changes over time. To create MovieNet, Hollis Cline, senior author of the study, examined how animals’ brains process real-world scenes. Specifically, he studied how tadpoles’ (蝌蚪的) neurons respond to moving stimuli. Tadpoles’ neurons process these visual inputs like solving puzzle pieces: each piece alone may not make sense, but together they form a complete image in motion. Different neurons process various “puzzle pieces” of a real-life moving image, which the brain then combines to form a continuous scene. Using this understanding, the researchers trained MovieNet to process video clips by identifying small visual signals, allowing it to distinguish between small changes in scenes. In testing, MovieNet achieved 82.3% accuracy, outperforming trained human observers by 18% and doing much better than existing AI models. Beyond its higher accuracy, MovieNet is more environment-friendly. Conventional AI requires vast amounts of data and energy, but MovieNet compresses (压缩) data like a zipped file, reducing environmental impact. “We’ve also made AI far less demanding,” says Cline. MovieNet could also transform medicine. It might help detect early signs of diseases by tracking small movement changes that are difficult for human eyes to detect. Looking ahead, the team plans to improve MovieNet’s ability to adapt to different environments and enhance its potential applications. “By designing models that think like living organisms (有机体), we can achieve efficiency levels that aren’t possible with traditional AI,” says Cline, “Biology is a gold mine.” 32. How is MovieNet differnet from conventional AI models ? A. It can spot small changes over time. B. It is better at recognizing still images. C It can interpret real-life scenes of the world. D. It can create videos with more complex images. 33. MovieNet is trained ________. A. to increase visual inputs. B. to integrate dynamic images. C. to feed on information pieces. D to look into tadpoles’ neurons. 34. According to paragraph 5, what is an advantage of MovieNet? A. Its powerful data storage. B. Its low energy consumption. C. Its control of medical diseases. D. Its improvement on drug effects. 35. What can be concluded from Cline’s words in the last paragraph? A. Biology brings us financial profits. B. Living organisms can outperform AI. C. AI can assist in biological development. D. Drawing inspiration from biology is promising. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家研发出名为MovieNet的人工智能模型，该模型受大脑启发，能像人类一样处理视频，理解复杂动态场景，其准确率高于人类观察者和现有AI模型，且更环保，还可能在医学领域发挥作用，未来团队计划提升其适应能力和应用潜力。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“While conventional AI excels at still image recognition, MovieNet is designed to understand complex, dynamic scenes, allowing it to recognize tiny changes over time.(虽然传统的人工智能在静态图像识别方面表现出色，但MovieNet旨在理解复杂的动态场景，使其能够识别随着时间推移而产生的细微变化)”可知，MovieNet与传统人工智能模型的不同之处在于它能发现随着时间推移的细微变化。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Different neurons process various “puzzle pieces” of a real-life moving image, which the brain then combines to form a continuous scene.(不同的神经元处理现实生活动态图像中的各种“拼图块”，然后大脑将这些“拼图块”组合起来形成一个连续的场景)”以及第四段中“Using this understanding, the researchers trained MovieNet to process video clips by identifying small visual signals, allowing it to distinguish between small changes in scenes.(基于这一认识，研究人员对MovieNet进行训练，使其通过识别微小的视觉信号来处理视频片段，从而能够区分场景中的细微变化)”可知，MovieNet被训练是为了整合动态图像，使其能够理解复杂的动态场景。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段中“Beyond its higher accuracy, MovieNet is more environment-friendly. Conventional AI requires vast amounts of data and energy, but MovieNet compresses (压缩) data like a zipped file, reducing environmental impact. “We’ve also made AI far less demanding,” says Cline.(除了具有更高的准确率，MovieNet还更加环保。传统的人工智能需要大量的数据和能源，而MovieNet则像压缩文件一样压缩数据，减少了对环境的影响。Cline说：“我们还让人工智能对资源的需求大大降低。”)”可知，MovieNet的优势是低能耗。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中““By designing models that think like living organisms (有机体), we can achieve efficiency levels that aren’t possible with traditional AI,” says Cline, “Biology is a gold mine.”(Cline说：“通过设计出像生物体一样思考的模型，我们能够达到传统人工智能无法企及的效率水平。生物学是一座金矿。”)”可推知，Cline在最后一段中表达的意思是，从生物学中汲取灵感是有前途的。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分 12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 How to express hurt feelings Expressing hurt feelings can be challenging, especially for teenagers. ____36____ Luckily, there are some simple techniques on how to effectively express your hurt feelings. ____37____ Before you approach someone to tell them that they’ve hurt your feelings, identify exactly why you feel hurt.

My understanding of farming mostly came from what I had learned in books. I was a hard-working person, always eager for a chance to explore agriculture. Finally, the opportunity I had been longing for arrived. Earth Day in the second year of my high school, my class organized a visit to a local farm to learn about farming. I was thrilled about the idea and couldn’t wait to share the exciting news with my parents. The next day, I went shopping for tools with my father, such as trowels, watering cans, gloves, and other necessary items. On the day of the event, my classmates and I gathered at the meeting spot early in the morning. The weather was perfect, and everyone seemed particularly happy. Armed with our tools, we got into the car and headed off to our destination. Upon reaching the farm, we were split into several groups by our teacher. One group was in charge of planting the seeds, one for watering the plots, and one for weeding and maintaining the farm. At the teacher’s signal, we all sprang into action. However, it was the first time that many of us had participated in farming, so we were unsure where to begin. I was among them. Fortunately, our teacher was a knowledgeable woman with experience in farming. To guide us, the teacher began planting vegetables herself. After observing her method, we all joined in and got our hands dirty. In no time, we had planted a variety of vegetables. I paid close attention, keen on absorbing every detail. Eventually, I learned the skills of planting vegetables. The experience was not just about learning how to plant; it was also about understanding the importance of sustainable living and the role each one of us can play in protecting our environment. It was a hands-on lesson that made a significant impact on me. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Inspired by the experience on the farm, I decided to put my knowledge to good use. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the harvest season approached, there were many vegetables in the backyard. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Inspired by the experience on the farm, I decided to put my knowledge to good use. I started a small garden in my backyard, where I planted the same variety of vegetables I had planted on the farm. With each passing day, I carefully watered the plants and weeded out the unwanted growth. My parents were surprised and proud to see how dedicated I was to this newfound hobby. My little garden not only provided us with fresh vegetables but also taught me valuable lessons about patience and perseverance. As the harvest season approached, there were many vegetables in the backyard. The sight of my hard work coming to fruition filled me with joy. I invited my classmates and teachers over to my house to share the bounty of my garden. We harvested the vegetables together, laughing and chatting as we did so. It was a moment of celebration, not just for the bounty we had gathered, but also for the knowledge and friendship we had gained from our experience on the farm. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者作为一名高中生，在缺乏农业活动机会的城市环境中，通过一次学校组织的农场参观活动，深刻体验并学习了农业知识，理解了可持续生活的重要性，并受到启发在自己家的后院开辟了一个小菜园。随着收获季节的到来，作者的小菜园硕果累累，不仅为他们家提供了新鲜蔬菜，还教给了作者耐心和毅力的价值。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“从农场的经历中得到启发，我决定好好利用我的知识。”可知，第一段可描写作者充分利用自己的知识，在后院开辟了自己的一个小花园，作者对其悉心照料，小花园既给作者带来了蔬菜的收获，也教会了作者毅力和耐心。 ②由第二段首句内容“随着收获季节的临近，后院种了许多蔬菜。看到我的辛勤工作取得成果，我满心欢喜。”可知，第二段可描写作者作者邀请同学和老师们前来观园，分享心得，一起谈笑风生，以及描写作者的感悟。 2.续写线索： 开辟花园——悉心照料——收获蔬菜——懂得耐心和毅力——丰收季节的到来——邀请同学和老师观园——分享心得，谈笑风生——最终感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①开始：start/ begin ②提供：provide/offer ③获得：gain/get 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprised/amazed ②愉快地：with joy/with delight 【点睛】[高分句型1].  I started a small garden in my backyard, where I planted the same variety of vegetables I had planted on the farm.（句中含有where引导的非限制性定语从句结构） [高分句型2].

B Huang Yahui, 40, has been fascinated by nature since childhood, a passion she developed in her 20s by engaging in adventurous outdoor activities. Then in 2011, she chanced upon a life-changing opportunity to volunteer with a research team led by Ma Ming, a professor at the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Huang spent several months engaging in fieldwork alongside the team, burying herself in bird observation and conservation efforts, and deepening her interest in environmental preservation. That brief experience helped shape her future career. “When the delicate golden eagle, raised under our care, spread its wings and flew into the sky, I felt a deep sense of responsibility to protect the ecological environment of my hometown and devote myself to preserving biodiversity,” recalled Huang, a native of Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. She is now a full-time wildlife conservationist and cofounder of a nature conservation and science popularization center in Saybag district in the regional capital Urumqi. The center is committed to heightening environmental consciousness and conservation efforts. Over the last decade, Huang and her colleagues have recorded more than 200 butterfly species and submitted their research findings to local forestry and grassland departments and research institutions, providing vital data for biodiversity conservation. They have also worked to raise awareness of biodiversity conservation among primary and secondary students across Xinjiang, helping guide them in understanding the importance of nature. “We tell the students how animals like butterflies, squirrels and snow leopards forage and set up homes. They listen with great interest,” she said. “I hope the children can realize that wildlife is our friend.” Currently, Huang is working on a book about butterfly conservation that integrates the traditional culture of the 24 Chinese solar terms. “I want to write about the habitats of 24 butterfly species and the corresponding ecological protection stories. My goal is to help more people understand the importance of harmony between humanity and nature, and encourage efforts in protecting nature and biodiversity,” she said. 24. What was the turning point in Huang Yahui’s career? A. Her childhood fascination with nature. B. Her participation in adventurous outdoor activities in her 20s. C. Her volunteer experience with a research team led by Ma Ming in 2011. D. Her work at the nature conservation and science popularization center. 25. What have Huang Yahui and her colleagues done over the last decade? A. They have organized large-scale wildlife conservation conferences. B. They have published numerous scientific findings on butterfly species. C. They have developed a few techniques for preserving butterfly species. D. They have recorded butterfly species and promoted environmental awareness. 26. Which of the following best describes Huang Yahui? A. Curious and energetic. B. Enthusiastic and devoted. C. Adventurous and sympathetic. D. Knowledgeable and influential. 27. What is the most likely content of Huang Yahui’s book he is working on recently? A. It may focus on the importance of harmony between humanity and nature. B. It may stress the 24 Chinese solar terms and their great effect on butterflies. C. It may document the personal stories and efforts of butterfly conservationists. D It may detail butterfly species’ habitats and their ecological protection stories. C If a president, a legendary philosopher, and one of the bestselling authors of all time credited the same secret for their success, would you try to follow it too? In fact, you probably do it every day. Here’s what Friedrich Nietzsche wrote: “It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth.” It’s not just great minds who made a case for it as a prime creativity booster. Researchers have traced numerous connections between walking and generating ideas. A Stanford University study found that participants were 81 percent more creative when walking as opposed to sitting. According to the study, for participants who walked and then sat down to do creative work, a walk could be a catalyst for having fresh insights into problems or projects. The movement aspect of walking is obviously key. You’ve probably heard the phrase “Exercise your creativity”, which refers to the brain as muscle. Our creative mindset is triggered by physical movement, which is exactly why walking feeds creative thinking. But the scenery is almost as important as the sweat. The National Human Activity Pattern Survey reveals that Americans spend 87 percent of their time indoors. Being inside, you’re more likely to stagnate (停滞), the opposite of energy. Without energy, you can’t wonder or create. Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your habitual surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities. Our brains work harder to process in different environments, so walking outside develops our ability to produce new ideas, to take in new sights, sounds, smells, and flavors. Research has shown that immersion in nature, and the corresponding disconnection from multimedia and technology, increased performance on a creative problem-solving task by a full 50 percent in a group of hikers. So turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to be present in the world, to hear conversations and natural sounds, to notice the way people move, the way the sun reflects in a puddle. 28. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic of walking . B. To describe the daily habits of great minds. C. To explain the scientific benefits of exercise. D. To criticize the lack of physical activity in modern life. 29. What does the underlined word in the second paragraph “catalyst” probably mean? A. A complex situation in issue-solving. B. The solution to a long-standing issue. C. A substance that promotes a new process. D. An obstacle that blocks new understandings. 30. What are two key factors that contribute to creativity when walking outside? A. The physical movement and the change of scenery. B. The outside fresh air and the reduction of technology use. C. The improvement in mood and the increase in social interactions. D. The increase in physical exercise and the decrease in indoor activities. 31. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. The Science of Creative Thinking. B. The Power of Walking for Creativity. C. The Ways of Improving Your Creativity. D. The Benefits of Taking Outdoor Exercise. D Imagine an artificial intelligence model that can watch and understand moving images like you and me. Now, scientists have made this a reality by creating MovieNet: an innovative AI that processes videos much like how our brains interpret real-life scenes. This brain-inspired AI model can perceive dynamic scenes by simulating (模拟) how neurons (神经元) make real-time sense of the world. While conventional AI excels at still image recognition, MovieNet is designed to understand complex, dynamic scenes, allowing it to recognize tiny changes over time. To create MovieNet, Hollis Cline, senior author of the study, examined how animals’ brains process real-world scenes. Specifically, he studied how tadpoles’ (蝌蚪的) neurons respond to moving stimuli. Tadpoles’ neurons process these visual inputs like solving puzzle pieces: each piece alone may not make sense, but together they form a complete image in motion. Different neurons process various “puzzle pieces” of a real-life moving image, which the brain then combines to form a continuous scene. Using this understanding, the researchers trained MovieNet to process video clips by identifying small visual signals, allowing it to distinguish between small changes in scenes. In testing, MovieNet achieved 82.3% accuracy, outperforming trained human observers by 18% and doing much better than existing AI models. Beyond its higher accuracy, MovieNet is more environment-friendly. Conventional AI requires vast amounts of data and energy, but MovieNet compresses (压缩) data like a zipped file, reducing environmental impact. “We’ve also made AI far less demanding,” says Cline. MovieNet could also transform medicine. It might help detect early signs of diseases by tracking small movement changes that are difficult for human eyes to detect. Looking ahead, the team plans to improve MovieNet’s ability to adapt to different environments and enhance its potential applications. “By designing models that think like living organisms (有机体), we can achieve efficiency levels that aren’t possible with traditional AI,” says Cline, “Biology is a gold mine.” 32. How is MovieNet differnet from conventional AI models ? A. It can spot small changes over time. B. It is better at recognizing still images. C. It can interpret real-life scenes of the world. D. It can create videos with more complex images. 33. MovieNet is trained ________. A. to increase visual inputs. B. to integrate dynamic images. C. to feed on information pieces. D. to look into tadpoles’ neurons. 34. According to paragraph 5, what is an advantage of MovieNet? A. Its powerful data storage. B. Its low energy consumption. C. Its control of medical diseases. D. Its improvement on drug effects. 35. What can be concluded from Cline’s words in the last paragraph? A. Biology brings us financial profits. B. Living organisms can outperform AI. C. AI can assist in biological development. D. Drawing inspiration from biology is promising. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分 12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 How to express hurt feelings Expressing hurt feelings can be challenging, especially for teenagers. ____36____ Luckily, there are some simple techniques on how to effectively express your hurt feelings. ____37____ Before you approach someone to tell them that they’ve hurt your feelings, identify exactly why you feel hurt.

My understanding of farming mostly came from what I had learned in books. I was a hard-working person, always eager for a chance to explore agriculture. Finally, the opportunity I had been longing for arrived. Earth Day in the second year of my high school, my class organized a visit to a local farm to learn about farming. I was thrilled about the idea and couldn’t wait to share the exciting news with my parents. The next day, I went shopping for tools with my father, such as trowels, watering cans, gloves, and other necessary items. On the day of the event, my classmates and I gathered at the meeting spot early in the morning. The weather was perfect, and everyone seemed particularly happy. Armed with our tools, we got into the car and headed off to our destination. Upon reaching the farm, we were split into several groups by our teacher. One group was in charge of planting the seeds, one for watering the plots, and one for weeding and maintaining the farm. At the teacher’s signal, we all sprang into action. However, it was the first time that many of us had participated in farming, so we were unsure where to begin. I was among them. Fortunately, our teacher was a knowledgeable woman with experience in farming. To guide us, the teacher began planting vegetables herself. After observing her method, we all joined in and got our hands dirty. In no time, we had planted a variety of vegetables. I paid close attention, keen on absorbing every detail. Eventually, I learned the skills of planting vegetables. The experience was not just about learning how to plant; it was also about understanding the importance of sustainable living and the role each one of us can play in protecting our environment. It was a hands-on lesson that made a significant impact on me. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Inspired by the experience on the farm, I decided to put my knowledge to good use. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the harvest season approached, there were many vegetables in the backyard. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
