Before the peak summer crowds roll in, you can explore unique scenic spots with out the overwhelming rush of tourists. Several destinations around the globe are especially notable for their breathtaking spring offerings. Puebla This city in central Mexico attracts visitors with its UNESCO-recognized historic structures. Spring marks the final few months of Puebla's dry season and temperatures average around 21℃ — just right for wandering through the city's main square, or admiring baroque architecture like Capilla del Rosario. Machu Picchu Spring is a time of transition (过渡) at Machu Picchu. Tourists looking for ideal weather can book a trip in May, the beginning of this Peruvian heritage site’s dry season. No matter when you visit,you' ll be glad you have come as you set eyes on the 600-year-old Inca Citadel, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Yellowstone National Park As the snowfall starts to slow down, baby animals emerge in Yellowstone, making this national park an excellent place to spot wildlife in spring. Tourists can hike on the lower elevation (高度) trails that open in April and May, while those who love mammals can keep their eyes peeled forbears coming out of hibernation with their cubs. Arches National Park You’ll be comfortable while exploring the park’s 2,000 arches or biking along its scenic paved roads.If you’re willing to risk a cold front, you can avoid the crowds during a March trip. During the peak months of April and May, all park visitors will need a reservation to enter — an easy trade — off for perfect weather and seeing desert blooms sprout. 11. What is the advantage of travelling in spring? A. There are fewer crowds. B. Tourists will feel more secure. C. More tourist sites are available. D. It's fun to enjoy the last days of snow. 12. Which destination is suitable for animal lovers? A. Puebla. B. Machu Picchu. C. Yellowstone National Park. D. Arches National Park. 13. What are visitors expected to do when visiting Arches National Park in April? A. Trade tickets for blooms. B. Wear thick clothes. C. Secure an entry reservation. D. Cycle in cold weather. B Returning to a book you’ve read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend. There’s a welcome familiarity, but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time has changed you both, and thus the relationship. But books don’t change, people do. And that’s what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative. The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register. It’s true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings. But with reading, it’s all about the present. It’s about the now and what one contributes to the now, because reading is a give and take between author and reader. Each has to pull their own weight. There are three books I reread annually. The first, which I take to reading every spring, is Ernest Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, it’s his classic memoir of 1920s Paris. The language is almost intoxicating (令人陶醉的), an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time. Another is Annie Dillard’s Holy the Firm, her poetic 1975 ramble (随笔) about everything and nothing. The third book is Julio Cortazar’s Save Twilight: Selected Poems, as if a bottle of wine remaining more and more mellow as time flows. While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifts, which might add to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful and necessary, rereading an author’s work is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The best books are the ones that open further as time passes. But remember, it’s you that have to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends. 14. What does the author imply in the first paragraph? A. Drinking with old friends is quite beneficial. B. Either books or us are changeable along with time. C. Rereading requires a large amount of time and money. D. It is recommended to read one book over and over again. 15. What do you know about Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast? A. It’s a brief account of a trip. B. It’s a record of a historic event. C. It’s about Hemingway’s life as a young man. D It’s about Hemingway’s simple feast in Parıs. 16. What does the phrase “highest currency” in paragraph 4 mean? A. The greatest honor given to an author’s work. B. The best way to financially support poor authors. C. The most challenging task for dedicated readers. D. The quickest method to increase a book’s popularity. 17. How does the author emphasize the reader’s role in rereading? A. By urging readers to prioritize true friends over money. B. By stressing readers need to grow to unlock a book’s depth. C. By claiming readers must focus on the present instead of the past. D. By suggesting readers should attach more meaning to gifted books. C In a world where tech companies often compete to create the next productivity tool, a new device is breaking away from the pack. Meet Friend: a new wearable AI companion that you wear around your neck. The small device records your every word and interaction and responds accordingly by text. They cost $99 and are expected to ship out in early 2025. The device comes at a time when loneliness and social isolation (孤独) are at record highs. Studies indicate that 61% of young people in the U.S. suffer from serious loneliness, a statistic that reveals a growing mental health crisis. While AI reshapes all the ways we interact in jobs, healthcare and entertainment — more and more people report feeling socially isolated, Schiffmann, Meet Friend’s founder, sees it differently: the device isn’t a replacement for human relationships but rather a way to fill the gaps when human companionship is hard to come by. AI companionship is controversial (有争议的). While some people, like Schiffmann, argue that it can help people feel less isolated, others worry that AI relationships might displace real human connections, and thus make people feel more lonely. If you are someone who already struggles with human interactions, the thinking goes, why would you continue to subject yourself to them when you have an AI friend who's fun and uncomplicated, and doesn’t come with all the baggage of another person? But so far, the research doesn’t seem to support this fear. Drake-Maples at Stanford University surveyed more than 1,000 students who used the AI chatbot Replika, and investigated their feelings of loneliness and perceived social support. Roughly half of these users reported decreased anxiety, and a feeling of social support. Nearly a quarter of those surveyed said they are more able to handle stress in their current relationship because of Replika’s advice. It is still a new field though, and Drake-Maples says there needs to be guidelines. “I strongly believe that you do need to have ethical guidelines around AI companions pushing people back when appropriate, towards human relationships,” she says. These could be gentle reminders like “Hey, you should go chat with somebody about that” or “Go practice this now with a real human.” 18. What is Meet Friend aimed at? A. Replacing human relationships. B. Boosting the productivity at work. C. Offering a new approach to connection. D. Detecting early symptoms of mental illness. 19. What does the underlined part “the thinking” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. AI helps avoid life’s stress. B. AI worsens feelings of loneliness. C. Human relationships are hard to keep. D. It's easy to communicate with an AI friend. 20. What is Drake-Maples’ attitude towards AI companionship? A. Cautious. B. Unclear. C. Supportive. D. Disapproving. 21. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A Can we trust an AI friend? B. Will AI change human nature? C. Can an AI friend make us less lonely? D. Will AI redefine mental health crisis? D Dreams have fascinated people for years, yet we struggle to understand their purpose. Some theories suggest dreams help us deal with emotions, solve problems or manage hidden desires. Others suggest they clean up brain waste or make memories stronger. David Eagleman, a neuroscientist at Stanford University, suggests another theory. It takes into account that the human brain has an ability called neuroplasticity (神经可塑性) - certain areas are able to take on new tasks. He argues the brain distributes its resources by “carrying out a do-or-die competition” for brain territory where sensory areas “gain or lose neural territory when inputs slow, stop or shift”. “For example, people who lose sight or hearing show heightened sensitivity in the remaining senses,” says Eagleman. When we sleep, we can smell, hear and feel, but visual information is absent - except during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. About 90 minutes after falling sleep, we enter REM sleep. It begins when neurons in your brain stem signal the beginning of two important tasks. Activity of these neurons, for one, paralyze motor nerves, hampering the sleeper’s acting out what is happening in the dream. Also, they send messages directly to the visual cortex (皮层), which starts the dreaming process. As long as the neurons in the visual cortex are actively performing their job, they won’t be taken over by nearby neurons that process other sensory information. Dreams are the brain’s way of fighting the takeover from other senses. Eagleman argues that the more plastic the brain is the more necessary REM sleep is for performing a defense. For babies to develop properly, they must sleep a lot, spending almost 50 percent of their time in REM sleep. But as people age, their brains become less flexible. At the same time, adults spend less time on REM sleep. Deirdre Leigh Barrett, a psychologist at Harvard University, says, “Eagleman’s theory is very convincing.” However, some dream researchers have different views. They think although the blind mole rat does not see, it still experiences REM sleep. Yet some evolutionary adaptations are features that were useful in the past but have become less significant as animals have evolved. So perhaps there was no pressure for blind mole rats to lose REM activity as they evolved without vision. 22. Why does Eagleman mention the example in paragraph 2? A. To show the brain is highly adaptive. B. To prove the neurons can repair themselves. C. To explain the significance of the five senses. D. To illustrate the unevenness of the brain resource. 23. What does the underlined word “hampering” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Conducting. B. Preventing. C. Spotting. D. Stimulating. 24. What can be inferred from Eagleman’s statements in paragraph 4? A. Brain plasticity increases as people get older. B. REM sleep and brain plasticity are interrelated. C. Adults need more sleep to keep fit than babies. D. People’s aging process has little effect on REM sleep. 25. What do some dream researchers think of Eagleman’s theory? A. It lacks credibility. B. Its theoretical basis is novel. C. Its application is limited. D. It agrees with evolutionary laws. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The less you spend, the more you save. It sounds simple in theory, but in practice, it’s much more complicated. Spending is built into our daily habits, which sometimes can get us addicted to buying stuff. ___26___ It’s kind of like a crash diet, but in a good way! ___27___ Despite the name, a no-spend challenge doesn’t mean you sit on your hands and spend no money whatsoever. After all, you don’t want to fall behind on your bills, and there are some necessities you simply can’t do without. The basic premise (前提) of a no-spend challenge is to cut out non-essential spending for a certain amount of time. It could be for a week, a month or even an entire year. What can you spend money on during a no-spend challenge? If you need to purchase something during your no-spend challenge, it should be something that’s necessary and you absolutely can’t do without. So groceries, yes. Candy bar in the checkout line, no. Also, no new iPhone, even if you’ve been dreaming about an upgrade. No new shoes, even if they’re on a huge sale. This is not the time to make excuses to buy stuff you don’t really need. ___28___ The goal of this challenge isn’t to make life harder on yourself by cutting out spending on essential expenses. The financial benefits of a no-spend challenge ___29___ You can use the extra money you normally would have spent to build up your emergency fund. Or you might want to put the money toward other financial goals, like saving for a new car or an upcoming vacation. While no-spend challenges are designed to be temporary, you can always extend your challenge. ___30___ A. Decide acceptable purchases. B. What is a no-spend challenge? C. There should be no quick-fix approach. D. When will you start your no-spend challenge? E. Why not treat it as more of a lifestyle change? F. Sometimes the best way is to go on a spending freeze. G. A no-spend challenge can be a boost to your financial situation. 三、完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When my dad planned out a trip to La Mina Falls in the El Yunque National Rainforest, I was not really into it, and I went along ___31___.

Many high school students often turned to her for guidance and as her neighbor, me included. One afternoon, feeling troubled and uncertain about my future after a disappointing exam,I decided to knock on Mrs. Thompson’s door. “I don’t know what I’m doing with my life,” I admitted, my eyes fixed on the floor.“It feels like everyone else has it all figured out, and I’m just stuck.“ My voice trembled with sadness and a hint of fear. I had bombed my last math test, and it felt like that failure stayed in every corner of my mind, increasing my anxiety about college examination and what I might want to pursue. While my friends seemed to advance effortlessly through their studies, I was struggling to stay afloat.The feeling that I was falling behind only deepened my sense of hopelessness. Mrs. Thompson listened carefully, her face a picture of calm and understanding. Without saying much， she handed me a small tomato seedling (苗) in a pot. The tiny plant，with its delicate green leaves, seemed to symbolize a slight sign of hope. ”Let’s plant this in the garden,“ she said gently. “Water it every day and make sure it gets enough sunlight. But for a whole week, don’t focus on its progress. Just trust that it’s growing.” Every day, I faithfully watered the little seedling, as if I was putting my own hopes into it.I carefully ensured it got the right amount of sunlight, positioning it just so under the sun’s rays.With great self-control, I resisted the urge to examine it too closely. As the days went by, I felt a mix of eagerness and impatience, like a child waiting for a long-promised gift,longing to see some sign that my efforts were making a difference. 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。 Paragraph one: “Let’s go to check on the plant,” Mrs. Thompson said to me a week later. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph two: One day,as I bent down to water it, a tiny yellow flower caught my eye. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 深圳外国语学校2024-2025学年度高二第二学期期中考试 英语试题 试卷共8页，满分130分，考试时长120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、班级、准考证号码等信息填写在答题卡上。 2.作答时，务必将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷及草稿纸上无效。 3.考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 一、单项选择（共10小题；每小题0.5分，满分5分） 在每小题给出的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 1. They booked tickets months in advance, only _______ the concert was rescheduled due to unforeseen circumstances. A. being told B. to be told C. telling D. to tell 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：他们提前几个月预订了票，结果却被告知音乐会因意外情况而重新安排了时间。此处为不定式作结果状语，根据语意可知，这里表示出乎预料的结果，应用不定式形式，且they和tell之间为被动关系，即“他们被告知”，因此要用不定式的被动式。故选B项。 2. Clearly and thoughtfully _______, the book _______ next month inspires confidence in students who wish to seek their own answers. A. written; to be published B. written; published C. writing; to publish D. writing; to publishing 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：这本书写得清晰且有深度，下个月即将出版，它激发了那些希望自己寻找答案的学生的信心。主句中已有谓语动词inspires，从句中已有谓语动词wish，因此动词write和publish均需使用非谓语动词形式；第一空，为非谓语动词作状语，the book与write之间是被动关系，即书是被写的，所以要用过去分词形式来表示被动和完成的状态；第二空，为非谓语动词作定语，根据next month可知，应用不定式表将来，publish与the book之间是被动关系，所以要用动词不定式的被动形式。故选A项。 3.

A. laughing at B. to be laughed at C. being laughed at D. been laughed at 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：每个人都喜欢开别人的玩笑，但没人喜欢被嘲笑，尤其是在公共场合。此处为动名词作宾语，enjoy doing sth.是固定搭配，意为“喜欢做某事”，所以这里要用动名词形式；laugh at意为“嘲笑”，no one和laugh at之间是被动关系，所以要用动名词的被动语态。故选C项。 4. Tom looked at Jenny, tears _______ his eyes, and shouted the words _______ in his heart for years. A. to fill; hidden B. filled; hiding C. filling; hidden D. full; being hidden 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：汤姆看着珍妮，泪水充满双眼，喊出了藏在心里多年的话。句中已有谓语动词looked at，因此动词fill和hide均需使用非谓语动词形式；第一空为独立主格结构，tears与fill之间是主动关系，即“眼泪充满眼睛”，所以应用现在分词；第二空为非谓语动词作定语，words与hide之间是被动关系，即“话被藏在心里”，所以应用过去分词作后置定语。故选C项。 5. _____ for a long time, most of the crops in this area died from lacking water. A. Being no rain B. There was no rain C. To be no rain D. There being no rain 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查独立主格结构。句意：很长一段时间没有下雨，这个地区大部分农作物都因缺水而死亡。分析句子可知，这不是复合句，这是一个单句，因为没有连接词。There being no rain为 there be句型的独立主格形式。所以其中一个句子需要用到独立主格结构，没有雨可以用it being no rain，it 作形式主语或者there being 存在结构。故选D。 6. April 28 is the day _______ which you must hand in your paper. A. by B. on C. at D. from 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查介词词义辨析。句意：4月28日是你必须交论文的日子。A. by在哪天之前；B. on在哪天；C. at在几点；D. from从哪天。分析句意可知，此空填写介词与关系代词which连用，引导定语从句修饰先行词day“一天”，by在句中表示四月二十八日之前就需要上交论文，符合语境。故选A项。 7.

Before the peak summer crowds roll in, you can explore unique scenic spots with out the overwhelming rush of tourists. Several destinations around the globe are especially notable for their breathtaking spring offerings. Puebla This city in central Mexico attracts visitors with its UNESCO-recognized historic structures. Spring marks the final few months of Puebla's dry season and temperatures average around 21℃ — just right for wandering through the city's main square, or admiring baroque architecture like Capilla del Rosario. Machu Picchu Spring is a time of transition (过渡) at Machu Picchu. Tourists looking for ideal weather can book a trip in May, the beginning of this Peruvian heritage site’s dry season. No matter when you visit,you' ll be glad you have come as you set eyes on the 600-year-old Inca Citadel, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Yellowstone National Park As the snowfall starts to slow down, baby animals emerge in Yellowstone, making this national park an excellent place to spot wildlife in spring. Tourists can hike on the lower elevation (高度) trails that open in April and May, while those who love mammals can keep their eyes peeled forbears coming out of hibernation with their cubs. Arches National Park You’ll be comfortable while exploring the park’s 2,000 arches or biking along its scenic paved roads.If you’re willing to risk a cold front, you can avoid the crowds during a March trip. During the peak months of April and May, all park visitors will need a reservation to enter — an easy trade — off for perfect weather and seeing desert blooms sprout. 11 What is the advantage of travelling in spring? A. There are fewer crowds. B. Tourists will feel more secure. C. More tourist sites are available. D. It's fun to enjoy the last days of snow. 12. Which destination is suitable for animal lovers? A. Puebla. B. Machu Picchu. C. Yellowstone National Park. D. Arches National Park. 13. What are visitors expected to do when visiting Arches National Park in April? A. Trade tickets for blooms. B. Wear thick clothes. C. Secure an entry reservation. D. Cycle in cold weather. 【答案】11. A 12. C 13. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了全球几个以其令人惊叹的春季美食而闻名的目的地。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段中“As the snow begins to melt away into a distant memory, be sure to head outdoors this spring. Before the peak summer crowds roll in, you can explore unique scenic spots with out the overwhelming rush of tourists.(随着雪开始融化成遥远的记忆，今年春天一定要去户外。在夏季高峰期人群涌入之前，你可以在没有巨大的游客量涌入的情况下探索独特的景点)”可知，春天旅行的好处在于游客较少。故选A项。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由Yellowstone National Park中“As the snowfall starts to slow down, baby animals emerge in Yellowstone, making this national park an excellent place to spot wildlife in spring.(随着降雪开始放缓，黄石公园出现了小动物，使这个国家公园成为春季观赏野生动物的好地方)”可知，Yellowstone National Park适合动物爱好者。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由Arches National Park中“During the peak months of April and May, all park visitors will need a reservation to enter — an easy trade — off for perfect weather and seeing desert blooms sprout.(在4月和5月的高峰期，所有公园游客都需要预订才能进入——这是一个很容易的交易——以获得完美的天气和看到沙漠花朵发芽)”可知，游客在四月参观Arches National Park时应该提前预订。故选C项。 B Returning to a book you’ve read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend. There’s a welcome familiarity, but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time has changed you both, and thus the relationship. But books don’t change, people do. And that’s what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative. The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register. It’s true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings. But with reading, it’s all about the present. It’s about the now and what one contributes to the now, because reading is a give and take between author and reader. Each has to pull their own weight. There are three books I reread annually. The first, which I take to reading every spring, is Ernest Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, it’s his classic memoir of 1920s Paris. The language is almost intoxicating (令人陶醉的), an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time. Another is Annie Dillard’s Holy the Firm, her poetic 1975 ramble (随笔) about everything and nothing. The third book is Julio Cortazar’s Save Twilight: Selected Poems, as if a bottle of wine remaining more and more mellow as time flows. While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifts, which might add to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful and necessary, rereading an author’s work is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The best books are the ones that open further as time passes. But remember, it’s you that have to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends. 14. What does the author imply in the first paragraph? A. Drinking with old friends is quite beneficial. B. Either books or us are changeable along with time. C. Rereading requires a large amount of time and money. D. It is recommended to read one book over and over again. 15. What do you know about Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast? A. It’s a brief account of a trip. B. It’s a record of a historic event. C. It’s about Hemingway’s life as a young man. D. It’s about Hemingway’s simple feast in Parıs. 16. What does the phrase “highest currency” in paragraph 4 mean? A. The greatest honor given to an author’s work. B. The best way to financially support poor authors. C. The most challenging task for dedicated readers. D. The quickest method to increase a book’s popularity. 17. How does the author emphasize the reader’s role in rereading? A. By urging readers to prioritize true friends over money. B. By stressing readers need to grow to unlock a book’s depth. C. By claiming readers must focus on the present instead of the past. D. By suggesting readers should attach more meaning to gifted books. 【答案】14. D 15. C 16. A 17. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过作者对重读旧书的感悟，探讨了阅读与成长的关系，强调读者在重读中的主动性和成长的重要性。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“But books don’t change, people do. And that’s what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative. (但书不会变，人会变。这正是重读如此丰富和具有转变力的原因)”可推知，作者在第一段暗示重读一本书是值得推荐的。故选D。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The first, which I take to reading every spring, is Ernest Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, it’s his classic memoir of 1920s Paris. The language is almost intoxicating (令人陶醉的), an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time. ”（第一本我每年春天都会读的是海明威的《流动的盛宴》。它出版于1964年，是海明威回忆1920年代巴黎生活的经典之作。语言几乎令人陶醉，一位年迈的作家回顾了一个雄心勃勃却又简单的时代)”可知，这本书是海明威关于他在年轻时期在巴黎生活的真实记录。故选C。 【16题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful and necessary, rereading an author’s work is the  highest currency a reader can pay them. The best books are the ones that open further as time passes.(但我想，虽然金钱确实是美好和必要的，但重读作者的作品是读者能支付给他们的highest currency。最好的书是那些随着时间推移而愈发深入的书)”可知，作者认为重读作者的作品是读者能给予他们的最高荣誉，因为最好的书是那些随着时间推移而愈发深入的书。由此可知，划线词组意思是“给予作者作品的最大荣誉”。故选A。 【17题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But remember, it’s you that have to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends. (但请记住，为了更好地理解你的朋友，你必须成长、阅读和重读)”可推知，作者通过强调读者需要成长才能解锁一本书的深度来强调读者在重读中的作用。故选B。 C In a world where tech companies often compete to create the next productivity tool, a new device is breaking away from the pack. Meet Friend: a new wearable AI companion that you wear around your neck. The small device records your every word and interaction and responds accordingly by text. They cost $99 and are expected to ship out in early 2025. The device comes at a time when loneliness and social isolation (孤独) are at record highs. Studies indicate that 61% of young people in the U.S. suffer from serious loneliness a statistic that reveals a growing mental health crisis. While AI reshapes all the ways we interact in jobs, healthcare and entertainment — more and more people report feeling socially isolated, Schiffmann, Meet Friend’s founder, sees it differently: the device isn’t a replacement for human relationships but rather a way to fill the gaps when human companionship is hard to come by. AI companionship is controversial (有争议的). While some people, like Schiffmann, argue that it can help people feel less isolated, others worry that AI relationships might displace real human connections, and thus make people feel more lonely. If you are someone who already struggles with human interactions, the thinking goes, why would you continue to subject yourself to them when you have an AI friend who's fun and uncomplicated, and doesn’t come with all the baggage of another person? But so far, the research doesn’t seem to support this fear. Drake-Maples at Stanford University surveyed more than 1,000 students who used the AI chatbot Replika, and investigated their feelings of loneliness and perceived social support. Roughly half of these users reported decreased anxiety, and a feeling of social support. Nearly a quarter of those surveyed said they are more able to handle stress in their current relationship because of Replika’s advice. It is still a new field though, and Drake-Maples says there needs to be guidelines. “I strongly believe that you do need to have ethical guidelines around AI companions pushing people back when appropriate, towards human relationships,” she says. These could be gentle reminders like “Hey, you should go chat with somebody about that” or “Go practice this now with a real human.” 18. What is Meet Friend aimed at? A. Replacing human relationships. B. Boosting the productivity at work. C. Offering a new approach to connection. D. Detecting early symptoms of mental illness. 19. What does the underlined part “the thinking” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. AI helps avoid life’s stress. B. AI worsens feelings of loneliness. C. Human relationships are hard to keep. D. It's easy to communicate with an AI friend. 20. What is Drake-Maples’ attitude towards AI companionship? A. Cautious. B. Unclear. C. Supportive. D. Disapproving. 21. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Can we trust an AI friend? B. Will AI change human nature? C. Can an AI friend make us less lonely? D. Will AI redefine mental health crisis? 【答案】18. C 19. B 20. A 21. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一款新型人工智能设备（Meet Friend），既有研究支持其积极作用，也探讨争议（可能加剧孤独），最终还是要对AI能否缓解孤独持谨慎态度。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中“Schiffmann, Meet Friend’s founder, sees it differently: the device isn’t a replacement for human relationships but rather a way to fill the gaps when human companionship is hard to come by. (Meet Friend的创始人Schiffmann对此有不同的看法：该设备不是人际关系的替代品，而是在难以获得人类陪伴时填补空白的一种方式)”可知，Meet Friend的创始人强调该设备并非替代人际关系，而是在人际陪伴稀缺时填补空白，其目标是提供一种新的连接方式。故选C项。 【19题详解】 词句猜测题。由第三段中“While some people, like Schiffmann, argue that it can help people feel less isolated, others worry that AI relationships might displace real human connections, and thus make people feel more lonely. If you are someone who already struggles with human interactions, the thinking goes (虽然有些人，比如Schiffmann，认为它可以帮助人们减少孤立感，但其他人担心人工智能关系可能会取代真正的人际关系，从而使人们感到更加孤独。如果你是一个已经在与人类互动方面苦苦挣扎的人，the thinking是)”可知，划线的the thinking指代前文争议观点：若人们依赖轻松有趣的AI朋友，可能逃避现实中复杂的人际互动，进而加剧孤独感。故选B项。 【20题详解】 推理判断题。由第四段中“Roughly half of these users reported decreased anxiety, and a feeling of social support. Nearly a quarter of those surveyed said they are more able to handle stress in their current relationship because of Replika’s advice. (这些用户中大约有一半报告说焦虑减轻，并有一种社会支持的感觉。近四分之一的受访者表示，由于Replika的建议，他们更能应对当前关系中的压力)”和最后一段中“It is still a new field though, and Drake-Maples says there needs to be guidelines. “I strongly believe that you do need to have ethical guidelines around AI companions pushing people back when appropriate, towards human relationships,” she says. (然而，这仍然是一个新领域，Drake Maples表示需要制定指导方针。她说：“我坚信，你确实需要制定关于人工智能伴侣的道德准则，在适当的时候将人们推回人际关系。”)”可知，Drake Maples虽提到AI对部分用户有积极作用，但强调需制定伦理指南，并推动AI提醒用户回归真实关系，体现其谨慎态度。故选A项。 【21题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，全文围绕“AI能否缓解孤独”展开：既有研究支持其积极作用，也探讨争议（可能加剧孤独），最终还是要对AI能否缓解孤独持谨慎态度，C项“人工智能朋友能让我们不那么孤独吗”。故选C项。 D Dreams have fascinated people for years, yet we struggle to understand their purpose. Some theories suggest dreams help us deal with emotions, solve problems or manage hidden desires. Others suggest they clean up brain waste or make memories stronger. David Eagleman, a neuroscientist at Stanford University, suggests another theory. It takes into account that the human brain has an ability called neuroplasticity (神经可塑性) - certain areas are able to take on new tasks. He argues the brain distributes its resources by “carrying out a do-or-die competition” for brain territory where sensory areas “gain or lose neural territory when inputs slow, stop or shift”. “For example, people who lose sight or hearing show heightened sensitivity in the remaining senses,” says Eagleman. When we sleep, we can smell, hear and feel, but visual information is absent - except during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. About 90 minutes after falling sleep, we enter REM sleep. It begins when neurons in your brain stem signal the beginning of two important tasks. Activity of these neurons, for one, paralyze motor nerves, hampering the sleeper’s acting out what is happening in the dream. Also, they send messages directly to the visual cortex (皮层), which starts the dreaming process. As long as the neurons in the visual cortex are actively performing their job, they won’t be taken over by nearby neurons that process other sensory information. Dreams are the brain’s way of fighting the takeover from other senses. Eagleman argues that the more plastic the brain is, the more necessary REM sleep is for performing a defense. For babies to develop properly, they must sleep a lot, spending almost 50 percent of their time in REM sleep. But as people age, their brains become less flexible. At the same time, adults spend less time on REM sleep. Deirdre Leigh Barrett, a psychologist at Harvard University, says, “Eagleman’s theory is very convincing.” However, some dream researchers have different views. They think although the blind mole rat does not see, it still experiences REM sleep. Yet some evolutionary adaptations are features that were useful in the past but have become less significant as animals have evolved. So perhaps there was no pressure for blind mole rats to lose REM activity as they evolved without vision. 22. Why does Eagleman mention the example in paragraph 2? A. To show the brain is highly adaptive. B. To prove the neurons can repair themselves. C. To explain the significance of the five senses. D. To illustrate the unevenness of the brain resource. 23. What does the underlined word “hampering” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Conducting. B. Preventing. C. Spotting. D. Stimulating. 24. What can be inferred from Eagleman’s statements in paragraph 4? A. Brain plasticity increases as people get older. B. REM sleep and brain plasticity are interrelated. C. Adults need more sleep to keep fit than babies. D. People’s aging process has little effect on REM sleep. 25. What do some dream researchers think of Eagleman’s theory? A. It lacks credibility. B. Its theoretical basis is novel. C. Its application is limited. D. It agrees with evolutionary laws. 【答案】22. A 23. B 24. B 25. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了斯坦福大学神经科学家David Eagleman关于梦的新理论——梦是大脑抵抗其他感官接管的方式，快速眼动睡眠对于执行这种防御是必要的，大脑的可塑性和快速眼动睡眠是相互关联的。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“David Eagleman, a neuroscientist at Stanford University, suggests another theory. It takes into account that the human brain has an ability called neuroplasticity (神经可塑性) - certain areas are able to take on new tasks. He argues the brain distributes its resources by ‘carrying out a do-or-die competition’ for brain territory where sensory areas ‘gain or lose neural territory when inputs slow, stop or shift’. (斯坦福大学的神经学家David Eagleman提出了另一种理论。它考虑到人类大脑有一种被称为神经可塑性的能力——某些区域能够承担新的任务。他认为，大脑通过“一场你死我活的竞争”来分配资源，当输入变慢、停止或转移时，感觉区域会“获得或失去神经区域”。)”可知，Eagleman提出了人类大脑有一种被称为神经可塑性的能力，即能够承担新的任务。然后通过举例“For example, people who lose sight or hearing show heightened sensitivity in the remaining senses (例如，失去视力或听力的人在其余感官上表现出更高的敏感性)”来说明大脑在资源分配过程中，当某一感官输入信息改变时，其他感官能够进行调整，展示了大脑具有高度的可塑性和适应性。故选A项。 【23题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Activity of these neurons, for one, paralyze motor nerves, hampering the sleeper’s acting out what is happening in the dream. (一方面，这些神经元的活动会使运动神经麻痹，hampering睡眠者将梦中发生的事情付诸行动。)” 中“paralyze motor nerves”可推知，运动神经麻痹就会“阻止”睡眠者把梦中的行为表现出来 ，所以hampering意思是“阻止”，与Preventing同义。故选B项。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Eagleman argues that the more plastic the brain is, the more necessary REM sleep is for performing a defense. For babies to develop properly, they must sleep a lot, spending almost 50 percent of their time in REM sleep. But as people age, their brains become less flexible. At the same time, adults spend less time on REM sleep. (伊格曼认为，大脑的可塑性越强，快速眼动睡眠对于进行防御就越有必要。为了让婴儿正常发育，他们必须大量睡眠，几乎 50% 的时间都处于快速眼动睡眠状态。但随着人们年龄的增长，他们的大脑变得不那么灵活。与此同时，成年人在快速眼动睡眠上花费的时间更少。)” 可知，大脑可塑性和快速眼动睡眠之间存在关联，大脑可塑性越强，快速眼动睡眠越必要。故选B项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However, some dream researchers have different views. They think although the blind mole rat does not see, it still experiences REM sleep. (然而，一些梦境研究者有不同的看法。他们认为，尽管鼹鼠看不见，但它仍然会经历快速眼动睡眠。)”可知，一些梦境研究者发现尽管鼹鼠看不见，但它们仍然会经历快速眼动睡眠，这与Eagleman的理论相矛盾。由此推知，一些梦境研究者认为Eagleman的理论缺乏可信度。故选A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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The less you spend, the more you save. It sounds simple in theory, but in practice, it’s much more complicated. Spending is built into our daily habits, which sometimes can get us addicted to buying stuff. ___26___ It’s kind of like a crash diet, but in a good way! ___27___ Despite the name, a no-spend challenge doesn’t mean you sit on your hands and spend no money whatsoever. After all, you don’t want to fall behind on your bills, and there are some necessities you simply can’t do without. The basic premise (前提) of a no-spend challenge is to cut out non-essential spending for a certain amount of time. It could be for a week, a month or even an entire year. What can you spend money on during a no-spend challenge? If you need to purchase something during your no-spend challenge, it should be something that’s necessary and you absolutely can’t do without. So groceries, yes. Candy bar in the checkout line, no. Also, no new iPhone, even if you’ve been dreaming about an upgrade. No new shoes, even if they’re on a huge sale. This is not the time to make excuses to buy stuff you don’t really need. ___28___ The goal of this challenge isn’t to make life harder on yourself by cutting out spending on essential expenses. The financial benefits of a no-spend challenge ___29___ You can use the extra money you normally would have spent to build up your emergency fund. Or you might want to put the money toward other financial goals, like saving for a new car or an upcoming vacation. While no-spend challenges are designed to be temporary, you can always extend your challenge. ___30___ A. Decide acceptable purchases. B. What is a no-spend challenge? C. There should be no quick-fix approach. D. When will you start your no-spend challenge? E. Why not treat it as more of a lifestyle change? F. Sometimes the best way is to go on a spending freeze. G. A no-spend challenge can be a boost to your financial situation. 【答案】26. F 27. B 28. A 29. G 30. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何通过不花钱的挑战来省钱。 【26题详解】 根据上文“The less you spend, the more you save. It sounds simple in theory, but in practice, it’s much more complicated. Spending is built into our daily habits, which sometimes can get us addicted to buying stuff.(你花的越少，存的就越多。理论上听起来很简单，但实际上要复杂得多。花钱是我们的日常习惯，有时会让我们沉迷于购买东西)”以及下文“It’s kind of like a crash diet, but in a good way! (这有点像速成减肥法，不过是以一种好的方式！)”可知，上文提到了存钱实际上复杂得多，因为花钱是习惯，推测本句主要说明了省钱的另一种方式，故F选项“有时候最好的办法是冻结开支”符合语境，故选F。 27题详解】 根据本段内容“Despite the name, a no-spend challenge doesn’t mean you sit on your hands and spend no money whatsoever. After all, you don’t want to fall behind on your bills, and there are some necessities you simply can’t do without. The basic premise (前提) of a no-spend challenge is to cut out non-essential spending for a certain amount of time. It could be for a week, a month or even an entire year.(尽管名字叫“不花钱挑战”，但这并不意味着你坐在那里不花钱。毕竟，你不想在账单上落后，而且有些必需品是你不能没有的。不花钱挑战的基本前提是在一定时间内减少不必要的支出。可能是一个星期，一个月，甚至一整年)”可知，本段主要解释了什么是“不花钱挑战”，即“不花钱挑战”的定义。故B选项“什么是不花钱的挑战？”符合语境，故选B。 【28题详解】 根据上文“If you need to purchase something during your no-spend challenge, it should be something that’s necessary and you absolutely can’t do without. So groceries, yes. Candy bar in the checkout line, no. Also, no new iPhone, even if you’ve been dreaming about an upgrade. No new shoes, even if they’re on a huge sale. This is not the time to make excuses to buy stuff you don’t really need.(如果你在“零消费挑战”中需要购买某些东西，那就必须是你必须购买的东西。所以食品杂货，是的。在收银台排队时候买糖果，不行。而且，没有新iPhone，即使你一直梦想着升级。不买新鞋，即使它们在大减价。这不是找借口买你不需要的东西的时候)”以及下文“The goal of this challenge isn’t to make life harder on yourself by cutting out spending on essential expenses.(这个挑战的目标不是通过削减基本开支来让自己的生活变得更艰难)”可知，上文主要说明了基本的开支是可以接受的，但是额外的开支不可以，故A选项“决定可接受的采购”符合语境，故选A。 【29题详解】 根据下文“You can use the extra money you normally would have spent to build up your emergency fund.(你可以用平时会花的额外的钱来建立应急基金)”可知，下文提到了节约下来的钱可以建立应急基金，推测不花钱挑战带来的经济状况的改善。故G选项“不花钱的挑战可以促进你的财务状况。”符合语境，故选G。 【30题详解】 根据上文“While no-spend challenges are designed to be temporary, you can always extend your challenge.( 虽然不花钱的挑战是暂时的，但你可以扩展挑战)”可知，上文说明了不花钱挑战的好处，本句为本段最后一句，推测是建议采取这种生活方式，来进行省钱。故E选项“为什么不把它看作是生活方式的改变呢？”符合语境，故选E。 三、完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When my dad planned out a trip to La Mina Falls in the El Yunque National Rainforest, I was not really into it, and I went along ___31___.

When I was younger, I struggled with expressing myself.

Many high school students often turned to her for guidance and as her neighbor, me included. One afternoon, feeling troubled and uncertain about my future after a disappointing exam,I decided to knock on Mrs. Thompson’s door. “I don’t know what I’m doing with my life,” I admitted, my eyes fixed on the floor.“It feels like everyone else has it all figured out, and I’m just stuck.“ My voice trembled with sadness and a hint of fear. I had bombed my last math test, and it felt like that failure stayed in every corner of my mind, increasing my anxiety about college examination and what I might want to pursue. While my friends seemed to advance effortlessly through their studies, I was struggling to stay afloat.The feeling that I was falling behind only deepened my sense of hopelessness. Mrs. Thompson listened carefully, her face a picture of calm and understanding. Without saying much， she handed me a small tomato seedling (苗) in a pot. The tiny plant，with its delicate green leaves, seemed to symbolize a slight sign of hope. ”Let’s plant this in the garden,“ she said gently. “Water it every day and make sure it gets enough sunlight. But for a whole week, don’t focus on its progress. Just trust that it’s growing.” Every day, I faithfully watered the little seedling, as if I was putting my own hopes into it.I carefully ensured it got the right amount of sunlight, positioning it just so under the sun’s rays.With great self-control, I resisted the urge to examine it too closely. As the days went by, I felt a mix of eagerness and impatience, like a child waiting for a long-promised gift,longing to see some sign that my efforts were making a difference. 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。 Paragraph one: “Let’s go to check on the plant,” Mrs. Thompson said to me a week later. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph two: One day,as I bent down to water it, a tiny yellow flower caught my eye. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“Let’s go to check on the plant,” Mrs. Thompson said to me a week later. With a heart full of anticipation, I followed her to the garden. When we reached the spot where we’d planted the seedling, I was amazed. The once - tiny plant had grown significantly. Its leaves were greener and more robust, and it stood taller, reaching towards the sky. Mrs. Thompson looked at me and smiled, “You see, just like this seedling, growth doesn’t always happen at a speed we can immediately notice. Your efforts in studying are like the care you gave this plant. They’re working, even if you can’t see the results right away.” One day, as I bent down to water it, a tiny yellow flower caught my eye. A sense of joy and accomplishment washed over me. That little flower was a symbol of hope and proof that my care had paid off. It made me realize that just as the seedling needed time and consistent care to bloom, so did I in my studies. I no longer felt as lost or hopeless. From then on, I faced my study challenges with newfound confidence, knowing that with perseverance, my efforts would surely lead to beautiful “blooms” in my future. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在考试失利后向Thompson夫人求助的经历。Thompson夫人让作者种植番茄幼苗让作者明白成长和努力的成果不会立即显现，就如同照顾幼苗一样，学习上的努力也会在未来开花结果。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““我们去看看那株植物吧。”一周后，Thompson夫人对我说。”以及第二段首句内容“有一天，当我弯腰给它浇水时，一朵小小的黄色花朵引起了我的注意。”可知，第一段可描写作者发现西红柿苗长势喜人，Thompson夫人告诉作者努力终会有回报。 ②由第二段首句内容“有一天，当我弯腰给它浇水时，一朵小小的黄色花朵引起了我的注意。”可知，第二段可描写作者深有感触，明白了学习需要坚持，才会有好的结果。 2.续写线索：Thompson夫人建议作者一起看看番茄苗——作者看到番茄苗的时候惊呆了，小小的植物已经变大了，更茁壮了——Thompson夫人告诉作者，成长总是在不经意间发生，只要有努力，就会有回报——有一天，作者给番茄苗浇水时，突然发现了一朵小黄花——作者心中涌起一种喜悦和成就感——作者意识到，就像番茄苗需要时间和持续的照料才能开花一样，自己学习上也需要这样——作者不再迷茫和绝望，因为作者相信，只要坚持，终有回报 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①充满：(be) full of/ (be) filled with ②注意到：notice/ spot ③带来、导致：lead to/ contribute to 情绪类 ①惊讶的：amazed/ surprised ②成就感：a sense of accomplishment/ a sense of achievement 【点睛】【高分句型1】When we reached the spot where we’d planted the seedling, I was amazed.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句和where引导的定语从句） 【高分句型2】Your efforts in studying are like the care you gave this plant.（运用了省略关系代词的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
