He first became responsible for safeguarding his family’s cattle when he was just nine. But often, his valuable livestock (家畜) would be attacked suddenly by the lions, leaving him to count the losses. “I grew up hating lions very much,” says Richard. “They used to come at night and feed on our cattle when we were sleeping.” So, at the age of 11, Richard decided it was time to find a way of protecting his family’s cows, goats and sheep from being hunted by hungry lions. His light bulb moment came with one small observation. One day, when he was walking around, he discovered that the lions were scared of the moving light. He realized that lions dared not approach the farm when someone was walking around with a flashlight. He put his young mind to work and a few weeks later he came up with a creative, simple and low-cost system to scare them away. He fitted a series of flashing LED bulbs onto poles around the livestock enclosure (围墙), facing outward. The lights were wired to a box with switches and to an old car battery powered by a solar panel. They were designed to flash on and off constantly, thus tricking the lions into believing that someone was moving around carrying a flashlight. And it worked. Since Richard set up his “Lion Lights”, his family has not lost any livestock to the wild beasts, to the great delight of his father and astonishment of his neighbors. He then fitted the lights for his neighbors and six other homes in his community. From then on, the lights spread and are now being used all around Kenya. In Zambia and Tanzania his “Lion Lights” are being used, as well. What’s even more impressive is that Richard invented and installed (安装) the whole system by himself, without ever receiving any training in electronics or engineering. 4. Why did Richard Turere dislike lions when he was young? A. He was often attacked by lions. B. Lions often ate his family’s livestock. C. Lions always affected his sleep at night. D. He thought lions were dangerous to humans 5. How did Richard get the inspiration for his “Lion Lights”? A. He learned it from his neighbors. B. He got it from a scientific experiment. C. He noticed lions were afraid of moving light. D. He was impressed by a similar device he saw before. 6. What can we infer about Richard’s “Lion Lights”? A. They cost him a lot of money. B. They are installed by workers. C. They have been used in most African countries. D. They make lions think there are people around. 7. Which of the following can best describe Richard Turere? A. Generous and energetic. B. Talented and warmhearted. C. Intelligent and humorous. D. Productive and knowledgeable. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了生活在肯尼亚内罗毕国家公园边缘的Richard Turere，他因狮子经常袭击自家的牲畜而发明了“狮子灯”来保护牲畜的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But often, his valuable livestock would be attacked suddenly by the lions, leaving him to count the losses.(但他的宝贵牲畜经常会被狮子突然袭击，让他不得不计算损失)”和第二段““I grew up hating lions very much,” says Richard. “They used to come at night and feed on our cattle when we were sleeping.(“我从小就非常讨厌狮子，”Richard说，“它们经常在晚上来，趁我们睡觉的时候吃我们的牛。”)”可知，Richard Turere年轻时不喜欢狮子是因为狮子经常吃他家的牲畜。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“His light bulb moment came with one small observation. One day, when he was walking around, he discovered that the lions were scared of the moving light.(他的灵感来自一个小小的观察。有一天，当他四处走动时，他发现狮子害怕移动的光)”可知，Richard是通过注意到狮子害怕移动的光而获得他的“狮子灯”的灵感的。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“They were designed to flash on and off constantly, thus tricking the lions into believing that someone was moving around carrying a flashlight.(它们被设计成不断闪烁，从而欺骗狮子，让它们以为有人拿着手电筒在周围走动)”可知，Richard的“狮子灯”让狮子以为周围有人。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“He then fitted the lights for his neighbors and six other homes in his community. (然后，他为他的邻居以及社区里的另外六户人家安装了这些灯)”和最后一段“What’s even more impressive is that Richard invented and installed the whole system by himself, without ever receiving any training in electronics or engineering.(更令人印象深刻的是，Richard自己发明并安装了整个系统，从未接受过任何电子或工程方面的培训。)”可知，Richard Turere是一个有才华的人，另外，从他为邻居和其他家庭安装“狮子灯”可以看出他是一个热心的人。由此可知，选项B“有才华的和热心的”最能描述Richard Turere。故选B。 C Imagine having a delicious coffee accompanied by a tasty dessert, and being served by someone with the affection of a grandparent... That’s Vollpension, a series of cozy cafés in Austria that are characterized by the fact that half of their employees are senior citizens. Some people may wonder why these seniors wouldn’t prefer to take it easy. However, the truth is that Vollpension has turned out to be a great opportunity for the elderly, not only economically but also emotionally. Because yes, while there are older people who may want to remain at home, there are others who would like to be able to continue working, but who experience labor discrimination (歧视). As this company explains on its website, the seemingly simple act of making a coffee or baking a cake can be freeing. It allows them to feel useful and helps them fight loneliness (one of the biggest problems today) because they interact with other people, both young and old. Lastly, the workers earn some extra money to make up for their often-insufficient pensions (养老金). So, as long as these people have the physical and mental ability to work and the desire to do so, there’s no reason to discriminate against them in the work environment. On social networks, it’s becoming increasingly common to find profiles of grandmothers who give cooking tips or sell food that they prepare. There are also examples of seniors who teach younger people how to repair things at home, or who even give life advice. Young people can help their elderly family members or neighbors who need technical support. As at the Vollpension cafés in Austria, when young and old work together the generation gap suddenly narrows, and the world becomes a more respectful, caring, and better place. And the advantages run both ways, because young people also have a lot to learn from older adults. Both generations can flourish (兴旺) when they help each other. 8. What makes Vollpension special? A. It mainly serves senior citizens. B. It has many older employees. C. It offers coffee with a unique taste. D. It provides emotional services. 9. Why do some senior people continue to work after retirement? A. To live their life to the full. B. To set an example for the young. C. To fill the labour shortage. D. To fight against age discrimination. 10. What can we learn from paragraph 4? A. There are more job opportunities for the elderly online. B. Seniors have more life skills than the younger generation. C. Many seniors are active in starting their business or service. D. Technology plays an important role in caring for the elderly. 11. What does the author stress in the last paragraph? A. The challenges faced by the elderly. B. The benefits of intergenerational help. C. The need for more cafés like Vollpension. D. The value of senior citizens in the workforce. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了奥地利的一系列温馨咖啡馆——Vollpension，这些咖啡馆的特别之处在于其员工中有一半是老年人，并探讨老年人继续工作的益处及代际互助的优势。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“That’s Vollpension, a series of cozy cafés in Austria that are characterized by the fact that half of their employees are senior citizens.(那就是Vollpension，奥地利一系列温馨的咖啡馆，其特点是其员工中有一半是老年人。)”可知，Vollpension的特别之处在于它有很多老年的员工。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“However, the truth is that Vollpension has turned out to be a great opportunity for the elderly, not only economically but also emotionally.(然而，事实是，Vollpension为老年人提供了一个绝佳的机会，不仅在经济上，而且在情感上。)”和第三段“It allows them to feel useful and helps them fight loneliness (one of the biggest problems today) because they interact with other people, both young and old.(这让他们感到自己很有用，并帮助他们对抗孤独感（这是当今最大的问题之一），因为他们与年轻人和老年人都有互动。)”可知，有些老年人在退休后继续工作是因为他们想充分享受生活，使自己在经济上和情感的需求得到满足。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“On social networks, it’s becoming increasingly common to find profiles of grandmothers who give cooking tips or sell food that they prepare. There are also examples of seniors who teach younger people how to repair things at home, or who even give life advice.(在社交网络上，越来越常见到这样的祖母个人主页：她们分享烹饪小贴士，或售卖自己制作的食物。也有老年人教年轻人如何在家修理东西，甚至提供人生建议的例子。)”可知，许多老年人积极创业或提供服务。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“As at the Vollpension cafés in Austria, when young and old work together the generation gap suddenly narrows, and the world becomes a more respectful, caring, and better place. And the advantages run both ways, because young people also have a lot to learn from older adults. Both generations can flourish when they help each other.(就像在奥地利的Vollpension咖啡馆一样，当年轻人和老年人一起工作时，代沟突然缩小了，世界变得更加尊重、更加关爱、更加美好。而且这种好处是双向的，因为年轻人也可以从老年人身上学到很多东西。当两代人互相帮助时，他们都能兴旺发达。)”可知，作者在最后一段强调了代际互助的好处。故选B。 D As urban populations grow, so does the demand for fresh, locally grown produce. In response, high-tech greenhouses equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) systems are becoming increasingly common in cities. In reality, AI-powered greenhouses are making their way into homes and community gardens. Despite what many believe, these systems aren’t overly sophisticated — many are designed for beginners with easy-to-use phone apps. People often think that maintaining a high-tech greenhouse requires constant monitoring and expert knowledge, but AI does most of the work itself, adjusting lighting, humidity, and nutrients in real time while telling you if something requires attention. Dr. Lisa Tanaka, a senior researcher at the MIT Urban Agriculture Lab, argues that this misunderstanding comes from the assumption that high-yield (高产量) farming needs more people to work on it. “With energy costs rising, smart greenhouses actually reduce waste by precisely controlling resources,” she explains. Recent studies from her lab show these systems use 30-40% less water than traditional farming while increasing yields by up to 25%. Plants depend on balanced conditions to grow healthily, and AI ensures they receive exactly what they need. Without proper light, growth slows, and yields drop. Dr. Tanaka compares forcing plants to grow in changing environments to “making emergency stop and speeding up at the same time while driving a car” — it confuses the plant, making it weaker and causing it to die sooner. This stress can make plants easier to catch diseases and reduce their nutritional value. To address this, smart greenhouses use LED grow lights paired with AI algorithms that adjust light color for different growth stages. These systems not only improve photosynthesis (光合作用) but also cut energy use by up to 50% compared to traditional setups. With this technology, city farmers can grow healthier plants with the least effort while reducing their carbon footprint. 12. What does the underlined word “sophisticated” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Modern. B. Expensive. C. Dependable. D. Complex. 13. What is a feature of smart greenhouses? A. Saving more energy. B. Depending on more farmers. C. Monitoring plant diseases. D. Calling for professional knowledge. 14. Why does the author mention car driving in paragraph 4? A. To provide details for his argument. B. To summarize the paragraphs above. C. To prove AI’s positive effect on plants. D. To compare the growth speed of plants. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. AI Powers Future Urban Farming. B. Smart Greenhouses Beautify Cities. C. AI Makes a Difference to the Communities. D. Community Gardens are Gaining Popularity. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了配备人工智能系统的高科技温室在城市农业中的应用及其优势。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Despite what many believe, these systems aren’t overly sophisticated — many are designed for beginners with easy-to-use phone apps.(尽管许多人认为这些系统过于sophisticated，但许多系统都是为初学者设计的，配有易于使用的手机应用程序)”可知，这里是在说这些系统并不是像人们想的那样“复杂”，而是很简单的，所以划线词“sophisticated”意为“复杂的”。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“With energy costs rising, smart greenhouses actually reduce waste by precisely controlling resources.(随着能源成本的上升，智能温室通过精确控制资源来减少浪费)”可知，智能温室的一个特点是节省更多的能源。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Plants depend on balanced conditions to grow healthily, and AI ensures they receive exactly what they need. Without proper light, growth slows, and yields drop. Dr. Tanaka compares forcing plants to grow in changing environments to “making emergency stop and speeding up at the same time while driving a car” — it confuses the plant, making it weaker and causing it to die sooner. This stress can make plants easier to catch diseases and reduce their nutritional value.(植物依靠平衡的条件来健康生长，而人工智能确保它们得到所需的一切。如果没有适当的光照，生长就会减慢，产量就会下降。Tanaka博士将迫使植物在不断变化的环境中生长比作“在开车时同时紧急刹车和加速”——这会让植物感到困惑，使其变得更弱，导致其更快死亡。这种压力会使植物更容易生病，并降低其营养价值)”可知，作者提到开车是为了说明植物在不平衡的环境下生长就像在开车时同时紧急刹车和加速一样，会对植物造成压力，从而证明人工智能通过提供平衡的生长条件对植物有积极影响。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第一段“As urban populations grow, so does the demand for fresh, locally grown produce. In response, high-tech greenhouses equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) systems are becoming increasingly common in cities.(随着城市人口的增长，对当地新鲜农产品的需求也在增加。作为回应，配备人工智能系统的高科技温室在城市中变得越来越普遍)”可知，本文主要讲述了人工智能在城市农业中的应用，特别是高科技温室如何通过人工智能系统提高农作物的产量和质量，同时减少资源浪费。因此，选项A“人工智能为未来城市农业提供动力”最能概括文章的主旨，是这篇文章最好的标题。故选A。 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。 A crocodile walk is a type of exercise that uses a person’s body as resistance (阻力). ___16___ He must then walk on all fours, just like a crocodile.

Ms. Green’s red pen marks were like fresh wounds on the paper — 58/100. She bit her lip until it hurt, her father’s angry voice ringing in her ears, “If your grades don’t improve, you’ll quit the art club immediately!” A shadow fell across her desk. “May I?” Ms. Green’s gentle voice surprised her. Before Amelia could react, the math teacher had already settled into the nearby seat. “I notice you’ve been struggling since the parent-teacher meeting,” she said softly, her eyes fixed on the test paper’s crumpled (弄皱的) edge. “Want to tell me what’s really weighing on your heart?” Amelia’s tears fell freely as she told the story, especially speaking of her father’s words. Ms. Green listened quietly, her warm hand covering Amelia’s trembling fingers. “Math and art aren’t enemies,” she finally said, pulling colored markers from her bag. “Let me show you how math can dance.” For the next days, quadratic functions (二次方程式) were turned into blooming (盛开) flowers under Ms. Green’s guidance. X-axis became flower stems, parabolas (抛物线) curved into petals (花瓣), and each solution step blooming. Until one day when the school bell rang, Amelia breathed a sign of relief — she’d solved three practice problems easily! “Your mind works in colors, not numbers,” Ms. Green smiled, pressing a new set of study notes into Amelia’s hands. “We’ll find your unique way to bloom.” 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。 One month later, a math test arrived. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Amelia rushed to Ms. Green’s office happily. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One month later, a maths test arrived. Amelia felt a flutter of nerves at first, but as she opened the paper, her mind was filled with vivid images of Ms. Green’s colorful teachings. The quadratic functions were transformed into the petals of flowers in her mind, and the axes became stems supporting them. Her pen danced across the paper, effortlessly putting down solutions that once seemed like puzzles. When the bell rang, she handed in her paper with a newfound sense of pride and certainty. Soon the graded test paper was handed out and in bold letter on it was a perfect score 91/100. Amelia rushed to Ms. Green’s office happily. “Look!” she exclaimed, waving her test paper. “You showed me that I could blend my love for art with math,” Amelia said, her voice thick with gratitude. Ms. Green beamed, “You’ve blossomed in your own way.” Just then, Amelia’s father, who’d been secretly waiting outside, stepped in. His eyes widened in disbelief, then softened with pride. “I was wrong to doubt you,” he said, pulling Amelia into a hug. From that day on, Amelia continued to explore both math and art, her heart full of joy and confidence, all thanks to Ms. Green’s special guidance. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了阿梅莉亚数学考试成绩不理想，她父亲威胁若成绩不提高就必须退出艺术俱乐部，她因此心情沉重。格林老师注意到她的状态后，耐心倾听她的烦恼，并向她展示数学也可以像艺术一样美妙，在格林老师的指导下，阿梅莉亚找到了独特的学习方法，轻松解决了数学练习问题。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“一个月后，数学考试来了。”可知，第一段可描写阿梅莉亚完成数学考试的过程以及取得的成绩。 ②由第二段首句内容“阿米莉亚高兴地冲进格林老师的办公室。”可知，第二段可描写阿梅莉亚感谢格林老师的帮助以及父亲也为她感到骄傲。 2.续写线索：参加考试——成绩进步——感谢老师——父亲感到骄傲——继续探索数学和艺术 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①充满：be filled with/be full of ②把……转变成……：transform…into…/turn…into… ③上交：hand in/turn in ④展示：show/display 情绪类 ①感激：gratitude/appreciation ②快乐：joy/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1]Her pen danced across the paper, effortlessly putting down solutions that once seemed like puzzles.（运用了现在分词作状语，that引导定语从句） [高分句型2]When the bell rang, she handed in her paper with a newfound sense of pride and certainty.（运用了when引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024级高一下学期期中校际联合考试 英语 2025.05 本试卷共四部分，共12页。满分150分。考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的条形码粘贴在答题卡相应的位置。 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，先将答案标在试卷上。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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。 1.

He first became responsible for safeguarding his family’s cattle when he was just nine. But often, his valuable livestock (家畜) would be attacked suddenly by the lions, leaving him to count the losses. “I grew up hating lions very much,” says Richard. “They used to come at night and feed on our cattle when we were sleeping.” So, at the age of 11, Richard decided it was time to find a way of protecting his family’s cows, goats and sheep from being hunted by hungry lions. His light bulb moment came with one small observation. One day, when he was walking around, he discovered that the lions were scared of the moving light. He realized that lions dared not approach the farm when someone was walking around with a flashlight. He put his young mind to work and a few weeks later he came up with a creative, simple and low-cost system to scare them away. He fitted a series of flashing LED bulbs onto poles around the livestock enclosure (围墙), facing outward. The lights were wired to a box with switches and to an old car battery powered by a solar panel. They were designed to flash on and off constantly, thus tricking the lions into believing that someone was moving around carrying a flashlight. And it worked. Since Richard set up his “Lion Lights”, his family has not lost any livestock to the wild beasts, to the great delight of his father and astonishment of his neighbors. He then fitted the lights for his neighbors and six other homes in his community. From then on, the lights spread and are now being used all around Kenya. In Zambia and Tanzania his “Lion Lights” are being used, as well. What’s even more impressive is that Richard invented and installed (安装) the whole system by himself, without ever receiving any training in electronics or engineering. 4. Why did Richard Turere dislike lions when he was young? A. He was often attacked by lions. B. Lions often ate his family’s livestock. C. Lions always affected his sleep at night. D. He thought lions were dangerous to humans 5. How did Richard get the inspiration for his “Lion Lights”? A. He learned it from his neighbors. B He got it from a scientific experiment. C. He noticed lions were afraid of moving light. D. He was impressed by a similar device he saw before. 6. What can we infer about Richard’s “Lion Lights”? A. They cost him a lot of money. B They are installed by workers. C. They have been used in most African countries. D. They make lions think there are people around. 7. Which of the following can best describe Richard Turere? A. Generous and energetic. B. Talented and warmhearted. C. Intelligent and humorous. D. Productive and knowledgeable. C Imagine having a delicious coffee accompanied by a tasty dessert, and being served by someone with the affection of a grandparent... That’s Vollpension, a series of cozy cafés in Austria that are characterized by the fact that half of their employees are senior citizens. Some people may wonder why these seniors wouldn’t prefer to take it easy. However, the truth is that Vollpension has turned out to be a great opportunity for the elderly, not only economically but also emotionally. Because yes, while there are older people who may want to remain at home, there are others who would like to be able to continue working, but who experience labor discrimination (歧视). As this company explains on its website, the seemingly simple act of making a coffee or baking a cake can be freeing. It allows them to feel useful and helps them fight loneliness (one of the biggest problems today) because they interact with other people, both young and old. Lastly, the workers earn some extra money to make up for their often-insufficient pensions (养老金). So, as long as these people have the physical and mental ability to work and the desire to do so, there’s no reason to discriminate against them in the work environment. On social networks, it’s becoming increasingly common to find profiles of grandmothers who give cooking tips or sell food that they prepare. There are also examples of seniors who teach younger people how to repair things at home, or who even give life advice. Young people can help their elderly family members or neighbors who need technical support. As at the Vollpension cafés in Austria, when young and old work together the generation gap suddenly narrows, and the world becomes a more respectful, caring, and better place. And the advantages run both ways, because young people also have a lot to learn from older adults. Both generations can flourish (兴旺) when they help each other. 8. What makes Vollpension special? A. It mainly serves senior citizens. B. It has many older employees. C. It offers coffee with a unique taste. D. It provides emotional services. 9. Why do some senior people continue to work after retirement? A. To live their life to the full. B. To set an example for the young. C. To fill the labour shortage. D. To fight against age discrimination. 10. What can we learn from paragraph 4? A. There are more job opportunities for the elderly online. B. Seniors have more life skills than the younger generation. C. Many seniors are active in starting their business or service. D. Technology plays an important role in caring for the elderly. 11. What does the author stress in the last paragraph? A. The challenges faced by the elderly. B. The benefits of intergenerational help. C. The need for more cafés like Vollpension. D. The value of senior citizens in the workforce. D As urban populations grow, so does the demand for fresh, locally grown produce. In response, high-tech greenhouses equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) systems are becoming increasingly common in cities. In reality, AI-powered greenhouses are making their way into homes and community gardens. Despite what many believe, these systems aren’t overly sophisticated — many are designed for beginners with easy-to-use phone apps. People often think that maintaining a high-tech greenhouse requires constant monitoring and expert knowledge, but AI does most of the work itself, adjusting lighting, humidity, and nutrients in real time while telling you if something requires attention. Dr. Lisa Tanaka, a senior researcher at the MIT Urban Agriculture Lab, argues that this misunderstanding comes from the assumption that high-yield (高产量) farming needs more people to work on it. “With energy costs rising, smart greenhouses actually reduce waste by precisely controlling resources,” she explains. Recent studies from her lab show these systems use 30-40% less water than traditional farming while increasing yields by up to 25%. Plants depend on balanced conditions to grow healthily, and AI ensures they receive exactly what they need. Without proper light, growth slows, and yields drop. Dr. Tanaka compares forcing plants to grow in changing environments to “making emergency stop and speeding up at the same time while driving a car” — it confuses the plant, making it weaker and causing it to die sooner. This stress can make plants easier to catch diseases and reduce their nutritional value. To address this, smart greenhouses use LED grow lights paired with AI algorithms that adjust light color for different growth stages. These systems not only improve photosynthesis (光合作用) but also cut energy use by up to 50% compared to traditional setups. With this technology, city farmers can grow healthier plants with the least effort while reducing their carbon footprint. 12 What does the underlined word “sophisticated” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Modern. B. Expensive. C. Dependable. D. Complex. 13. What is a feature of smart greenhouses? A. Saving more energy. B. Depending on more farmers. C. Monitoring plant diseases. D. Calling for professional knowledge. 14. Why does the author mention car driving in paragraph 4? A. To provide details for his argument. B. To summarize the paragraphs above. C. To prove AI’s positive effect on plants. D. To compare the growth speed of plants. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. AI Powers Future Urban Farming. B. Smart Greenhouses Beautify Cities. C. AI Makes a Difference to the Communities. D.

Ms. Green’s red pen marks were like fresh wounds on the paper — 58/100. She bit her lip until it hurt, her father’s angry voice ringing in her ears, “If your grades don’t improve, you’ll quit the art club immediately!” A shadow fell across her desk. “May I?” Ms. Green’s gentle voice surprised her. Before Amelia could react, the math teacher had already settled into the nearby seat. “I notice you’ve been struggling since the parent-teacher meeting,” she said softly, her eyes fixed on the test paper’s crumpled (弄皱的) edge. “Want to tell me what’s really weighing on your heart?” Amelia’s tears fell freely as she told the story, especially speaking of her father’s words. Ms. Green listened quietly, her warm hand covering Amelia’s trembling fingers. “Math and art aren’t enemies,” she finally said, pulling colored markers from her bag. “Let me show you how math can dance.” For the next days, quadratic functions (二次方程式) were turned into blooming (盛开) flowers under Ms. Green’s guidance. X-axis became flower stems, parabolas (抛物线) curved into petals (花瓣), and each solution step blooming. Until one day when the school bell rang, Amelia breathed a sign of relief — she’d solved three practice problems easily! “Your mind works in colors, not numbers,” Ms. Green smiled, pressing a new set of study notes into Amelia’s hands. “We’ll find your unique way to bloom.” 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。 One month later, a math test arrived. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Amelia rushed to Ms. Green’s office happily. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
