Born in Michigan in 1959.Gizzi delayed going to college and instead joined a music community in New York.As someone who didn't grow up in a poetry-heavy background.Gizzi wasn't surprised by some criticism.Even his personal favorites are "outsider poets"."The poets that have influenced me are not totally unknown,but they're definitely not big award-winning poets like Louise Gluick,"said Gizzi. Poetry first came into Gizzi's life in heartbreaking circumstances when his father died in a plane crash.It was when his brother Michael,also a noted poet,wrote a piece called Requiem in March,that made Gizzi realize the possibilities of what poetry could do.He realized poetry was the way.A light came on and he has never stopped reading since then. Many of the poems in Fierce Elegy try to grasp at what might be beyond death.For Gizzi,the elegy )can be a tool that helps us to understand life in a deeper way.It also allows us to see the small joys that compose a life,and how those small joys are actually massive."Joy and sorrow share a very complex ecosystem.We can't have one without the other.As the world becomes constantly renewed,it's also constantly dying,"he says."I believe the elegy can take a broken heart in a fierce world and transform it into a fieree heart in a broken world." George Oppen,an American Objectivist poet,said:"I like all the little words:tree,house,hill.These are the words in which we live.Gizzi says more by saying less.Poems are as much about what's not there as what's there,right?" 赣州市2025年高三年级适应性考试英语试卷第3页（共8页） 24.What can we infer about Gizzi from paragraph 2? A.He admired the works of famous poets. B.He preferred the traditional way of poetry. C.He took an unconventional path into poetry. D.He followed professional advice to be a poet. 25.What caused Gizzi to realize the power of poetry? A.His father's death. B.The collection Fierce Elegy. C.His literary background. D.The poem Requiem in March. 26.How does Gizzi describe the relationship between joy and sorrow? A.They are closely connected. B.They are merely personal. C.They are constantly changing. D.They are often misunderstood. 27.What does George Oppen think of Gizzi's poems? A.Bright and energetic. B.Formal and emotional. C.Brief and meaningful. D.Dramatic and powerful. C Imagine this:Robin walks across a college campus and sees a man fall down on the ground,coughing and crying.Will Robin stop to help?You might think it depends on Robin's personality.However, psychologists Lee Ross and Richard Nisbett argue that the situation is more important than personality in predicting behavior. In their book The Person and the Situation.Ross and Nisbett suggest that our personalities are less important in predicting our behavior than we might think,and a powerful influence on what we do.often overlooked,is the situation.For example,in the early 1970s.psychologists John Darley and Daniel Batson conducted an experiment on 47 male students at Princeton.Each student was asked to give a speech in a nearby building and,on the way,encountered an actor who was in deep sorrow.The results showed that no personality trait (could predict whether a student stopped to help.The only significant factor was whether the student was in a hurry.Only 10 percent of those in a hurry stopped,while 73 percent of those with sufficient time did. This shows that the situation matters-a point worth remembering when we judge others.Similarly. it also applies to our own attempts at personal change.Many of us make resolutions to change our ways. But often,we fail,as we imagine changing ourselves as a person,rather than changing our situation.We tell ourselves to eat better food,drink less and exercise more.But perhaps it would be better if we told ourselves to sign up for a weekly vegetable-box delivery,and join a running club that meets on Friday evenings instead of going to the pub.If you don't want to be distracted by your phone,delete the most troublesome apps. In short,if we want to act differently,we should surround ourselves with things and people that encourage the desired behavior.By changing our situation,we might find it easier to achieve the real personal change. 28.Why does the author mention Robin in the first paragraph? A.To explain the difficulty of moral choices. B.To illustrate a feature of cautious behavior. C.To show the benefit of making resolutions. D.To introduce the topic of situational influence. 29.What matters most in predicting behavior according to the results? A.Time urgency. B.Personality traits. C.Academie background. D.Gender differences. 30.Which of the following can be a suggestion of the author? A.Promising a friend to eat healthily. B.Working with disciplined people. C.Repeating the goals aloud each night. D.Listing reasons to avoid social media. 31.What is the best title for the text? A.What Truly Shapes Our Personality B.What Really Drives Human Behavior C.How People Make Practical Resolutions D.How Values Conflict in Moral Dilemmas 赣州市2025年高三年级适应性考试英语试卷第4页（共8页） 0 Electric fish are interesting creatures that"see"their world and each other by sensing-and generating their own-electric fields.To Kanaka Rajan,a Harvard professor,these fish offer a new way to understand collective (intelligence,which means how individuals work together to achieve goals.She also believes that their special ability can inspire research in Neuro ()Al.a new area that studies how both living things and machines sense the world and process information. One species Rajan's team focuses on is the elephantnose fish,which uses electric pulses (to communicate and find its way.Despite the simplicity of their communication,these fish display cooperative behaviors,such as guiding others to food sources.By studying these interactions,researchers can better understand the nature of cooperation and competition.These insights are crucial for developing more adaptive artificial intelligence systems which can work together to solve complex problems. To further explore these ideas,Rajan's team uses artificial models that act like elephantnose fish.These models allow them to experiment with different factors,like food availability,to see how cooperative and competing behaviors emerge in different contexts.Their research suggests that the availability of food influences how the fish interact with one another.Less reliable food sources lead to more competitive behaviors.Cooperation and competition aren't hardwired into these artificial models.Rather,these behaviors slowly appear over many generations as the models are tested and changed. Rajan's research bridges biology and technology,showing how natural systems can inspire new advances in artificial intelligence.Principles of collective intelligence may play an important role in how individual AI systems interact and communicate.When these systems work together as a team,they show promise for faster, more complex,and more adaptable problem-solving in tech.Only time will tell if such AI systems prove useful,but in the meantime,foundational work of this kind is casting light on how both biological and artificial systems can produce collective intelligence. 32.What is the main purpose of Rajan's research? A.To study group cooperation ways. B.To solve AI network problems. C.To compare animals with Al systems. D.To create electric fields for robots. 33.What do we know about the elephantnose fish? A.It competes to control food sources. B.It adjusts pulses for speed control. C.It uses electric signals for teamwork. D.It finds its way through visual systems. 34.What does the underlined word"hardwired"in paragraph 3 mean? A.Sent by signals. B.Fixed by design. C.Changed by surroundings. D.Programmed by computers. 35.How could Rajan's research influence future AI systems? A.By strengthening Al sensory input systems. B.By enhancing individual Al processing speeds. C.By developing Al models with natural selection. D.By enabling AI teams to solve problems together. 赣州市2025年高三年级适应性考试英语试卷第5页（共8页） 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We all agree that critical thinking is important.36Some believe critical thinking can be applied across different contexts and taught in a general way.Others argue it can only be taught within a specific subject.There are also those who think certain skills are general,while others are specific. In schools,critical thinking is treated as a general skill taught in a broad way rather than tailored to specific subjects.The academic workload makes it challenging to be included into the curriculum,especially subject-specific skills.However,even when students learn these general critical thinking skills,research shows that they often struggle to apply them in different contexts.37 So.does that mean we can't teach it as a general skill?According to professor Tim Van Gelder,this belief is not entirely accurate.He argues that students improve their critical thinking skills faster when they leamn to present their arguments in maps.38 This approach is effective because it helps leamers to understand the structure of arguments,making it easier for them to analyze and evaluate reasoning in various contexts. Personally,I believe thinking critically is not natural.Critical thinking is something that can be learned with life experiences and examples from the world around us.39 Moreover,I believe that it is necessary to have knowledge about something before we can think critically about it. 40 Focus on common sense,open-mindedness,logic,generalization,correlation,causality- anything that can help students to develop critical thinking skills.Students should reflect on how their opinions form and build arguments by linking assumptions,objections,and facts.Finally,being aware of biases (is essential because they can affect how we see things,make decisions,and stay fair. A.Students need examples to support their arguments. B.However,there is no agreement on how to teach it. C.And,we need to have discipline to integrate it into our lives. D.Quick thinking is natural,but critical thinking takes more effort. E.So use visuals to link ideas,reasons,assumptions,and disagreements. F.Key elements of critical thinking should be included to teach this skill. G.It indicates different skills may be needed for different knowledge areas. 第三部分语言知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Antonia Murphy has always loved water.Although "not a great swimmer",she is a 41 one.So when moving to Edinburgh after her retirement,she 42 checked out the public leisure centre.

One afternoon,we met in the science lab to sce how far we had come.Despite weeks of hard work,a lot of problems remained.The biggest one was whether our robot could successfully go through a maze. "We've come a long way,"I said,"but we can't relax now.We need to work harder,help each other,and stay focused."With strong determination,we focused on the robot's navigation (system.It was our weak point,but it was also the key to winning. During one of our test runs,the robot managed to finish the maze on its own.We cheered,but Rascal quickly raised a question:"What if something goes wrong during the real competition?"His words made us realize that success in one test wasn't enough.So we sat down and talked about every possible problem that could happen.I knew it was my job to keep everyone encouraged and on task.Benny was calm and careful with tools,Rosie was quick with finding coding bugs(编码错误)，and Rascal was full of creative ideas.. Talking things through like this gave us greater confidence in our teamwork. As the city-wide science fair got closer,everyone in school was getting ready.For our group,although we had passed the robot test,we were still worried about its navigation system.We felt a lot of pressure,but we were also very determined.No matter what happened,we were ready to face it together. 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。 Finally,the science fair arrived.
