When the perfect storm brews (酝酿) over the boundless sea and lives are in danger, a crew of highly trained professionals embarks on a mission impossible to search for and rescue survivors from the rough waters. Wan Qiuwen is one of them. And, she’s a woman. The 36-year-old from Shanghai has broken the glass ceiling to become one of China’s first two female rescue helicopter pilots who respond to search and rescue missions involving cargo ship snags (货船遇险), vessel accidents, medical emergencies and special marine operations. The demanding nature of the profession had always favored male candidates until the rules were changed for the first and only time. She says, “Rescue at sea can be both challenging and terrifying. If you don’t think and act fast, people may die.” On Aug 20,2020, an oil tanker ferrying 3,000 metric tons of gasoline collided with a cargo ship loaded with sand and gravel about 1.5 nautical miles (2,778 meters) southeast of the Yangtze River estuary, sparking a fire on the deck of the oil tanker and causing the latter to sink. Wan was among the first respondents. She flew to the site from Gaodong helicopter airport, which is the country’s first-of-its-kind marine rescue launchpad (发射台). “The tanker was still burning and there was a thick envelope of smoke, reducing visibility to near zero.” she recalls. And yet, with her sea wisdom, Wan spotted a survivor and executed a successful rescue operation. She hovered above the troubled waters for a couple of minutes to estimate the best extraction point, and then threw down a rope and pulled up a seriously injured crew member. Now, a mother of a boy, when people ask her if she will continue to fly once her child grows up, Wan’s response is affirmative. “This profession is about saving lives and I am a rescue pilot, once and always.” 4. Which of the following best describe Wan Qiuwen? A. Courageous and Creative. B. Professional and Determined. C. Conservative and Hardworking. D. Responsible and Self-disciplined. 5. What can be learned from the accident happening on August 20,2020? A. It is visible for Wan to see clearly the site from the sky. B. Both the oil tanker and the cargo ship sank after collision. C. During the rescue, Wan threw down a rope without hesitation. D. Before taking rescue action Wan made a judgement on the situation. 6. What deeper societal meaning does Wan Qiuwen “breaking the glass ceiling” carry? A. She redefined technical standards for helicopter piloting. B. She overcame physical challenges during rescue missions. C. She prioritized personal ambition over professional norms. D. She challenged entrenched gender stereotypes in a male-dominated profession. 7. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To call on more people to be a sea-rescue pilot. B. To inform the risks of becoming a sea-rescue pilot. C. To introduce an exceptional woman sea-rescue pilot. D. To educate people the meaning of breaking through gender prejudice. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7.

But watching liquid rock spill out of a volcano on another planet would be amazing. That is close to what scientists have spotted on Venus: two vast, sinuous lava flows seeping from two different corners of Earth’s planetary neighbor. These findings suggest that Venus, long considered geologically dead, may still be volcanically active today — a revelation that could reshape our understanding of planetary evolution. “After you see something like this, the first reaction is ‘wow’,” said Davide Sulcanese, author of a study reporting the discovery in the journal Nature Astronomy. “This isn’t just about lava flows; it’s about unlocking the secrets of how rocky planets age differently.” Earth and Venus were forged at the same time. Both are made of the same primeval matter, and both are the same age and size. So why is Earth a paradise overflowing with water and life, while Venus is a scorched hellscape with acidic skies? The answer may lie in their volcanic histories. Volcanic eruptions change planet atmospheres. One theory holds that, long ago, massive eruptions set off a runaway greenhouse effect on Venus, turning it from a temperate, waterlogged world into a dry desert. If future missions confirm ongoing eruptions, it would mean Venus is still geologically alive — and its destructive transformation might not be over yet. To better understand its volcanism, scientists hoped to catch a Venusian eruption in the act. But although the planet is known to be covered with volcanoes, a non-transparent atmosphere has prevented anyone from seeing an eruption directly. Advanced technology is now peeling back Venus’s thick clouds, offering glimpses of its fiery past — and present. In the 1990s, NASA used cloud-penetrating radar to survey most of the planet. But back then, the relatively low-resolution images made spotting fresh molten rock a troublesome task. By using modern software, scientists have now found two unambiguous lava flows, proving that Venus still has stories left to tell. 8. What is the main discovery mentioned in the passage? A. A new type of volcano on Venus. B. Evidence of recent volcanic activity on Venus. C. The first direct observation of a Venusian eruption. D. A comparison between Earth and Venus’s atmospheres. 9. According to the passage, why is Venus now extremely hot and dry? A. It lost its atmosphere due to solar winds. B. It never had water or life in the first place. C. It was always closer to the Sun than Earth. D. Massive volcanic emptions triggered a greenhouse effect. 10. What made it difficult for scientists to detect fresh lava flows on Venus in the past? A. The lack of advanced radar technology. B. The lava flows were too small to be seen. C. The planet’s thick and opaque atmosphere. D. The images from the 1990s had low resolution. 11. What is the most appropriate title for the passage? A. Hellish Transformation: Venus’s Climate Catastrophe B. Twin Planets: Why Earth and Venus Became Different C. Volcanic Awakening: Venus’s Hidden Activity Revealed D. Cloud-Piercing Breakthrough: Mapping Venus’s Volcanoes 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家在金星上发现了两处明显的熔岩流，这表明金星可能仍有火山活动，还探讨了金星与地球不同的原因及过去探测金星熔岩流的困难。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“That is close to what scientists have spotted on Venus: two vast, sinuous lava flows seeping from two different corners of Earth’s planetary neighbor. These findings suggest that Venus, long considered geologically dead, may still be volcanically active today — a revelation that could reshape our understanding of planetary evolution.(这与科学家在金星上的发现相近：从地球的行星邻居金星的两个不同角落渗出的两条巨大蜿蜒的熔岩流。这些发现表明，长期以来被认为地质活动已经停止的金星，如今可能仍有火山活动——这一发现可能会重塑我们对行星演化的理解)”可知，文章提到的主要发现是金星近期有火山活动的证据。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“One theory holds that, long ago, massive eruptions set off a runaway greenhouse effect on Venus, turning it from a temperate, waterlogged world into a dry desert.(有一种理论认为，很久以前，大规模的火山喷发在金星上引发了失控的温室效应，使它从一个气候温和、被水淹没的世界变成了一片干旱的沙漠)”可知，金星现在极其炎热干燥是因为大规模的火山喷发引发了温室效应。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“In the 1990s, NASA used cloud penetrating radar to survey most of the planet. But back then, the relatively low resolution images made spotting fresh molten rock a troublesome task.(20世纪90年代，美国国家航空航天局使用穿透云层的雷达对金星的大部分区域进行了勘测。但在那时，相对低分辨率的图像使得发现新鲜的熔岩变得十分困难)”可知，过去科学家难以在金星上探测到新鲜的熔岩流是因为20世纪90年代的图像分辨率低。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“These findings suggest that Venus, long considered geologically dead, may still be volcanically active today(这些发现表明，长期以来被认为地质活动已经停止的金星，如今可能仍有火山活动)”可知，文章主要围绕金星隐藏的火山活动被揭示展开。故C项“Volcanic Awakening: Venus’s Hidden Activity Revealed(火山觉醒：金星隐藏的活动被揭示)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选C项。 D A challenge of teaching mathematics rather than, say, history is that the homework is a lot harder to come up with. After all, “Was Henry VIII a good king?” is a reasonable question to ask either a classroom of nine-year-olds or a lecture theatre of postgraduates. But “Solve this quadratic equation (二次方程式)” would leave the classroom nonplussed and the lecture theatre unimpressed. Maths is learned by doing and designing a problem that is easy enough to be accessible, yet hard enough to be satisfying, is a big headache in itself. Partly for this reason, books that successfully communicate how mathematicians think, but are aimed at those not already in the field, are both valuable and rare. Now Sir David Spiegelhalter, professor of statistics at the University of Cambridge, has added to the category with The Art of Uncertainty. His new book will appeal to many more than just mathematicians, for its topic is universal: how to analyse chance, uncertainty and risk. If a new virus is running wild and the majority of deaths are among those who have received a newer vaccine (疫苗), is that evidence that the vaccination program is harmful? How much of top football teams’ performance comes down to luck rather than skill? Professor Spiegelhalter’s exploration of such questions is delightful. First, he uses them to illustrate broader ideas about how probability and statistics work. So a discussion of vaccine safety proceeds to Bayes’s theorem, a procedure for improving one’s judgment of probabilities as new evidence comes to light. The joy of Professor Spiegelhalter’s approach is that he reaches this deep truth through nothing more than some intuitive (直觉的) assumptions and very simple maths. Most important, though, is Professor Spiegelhalter’s skill at communicating these ideas. Much of probability and statistics can go against our intuition, and the maths behind it is often fearsome. But this is not a difficult book to read or understand. 12. What does the underlined word “nonplussed” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Impressed. B. Inspired. C. Confused. D. Amused. 13. What is the biggest selling point of The Art of Uncertainty according to the author? A. It casts light on math thoughts. B. It covers various topics. C It makes sense to ordinary people. D. It satisfies maths professionals. 14. Why does the author mention Bayes’s theorem in paragraph 3? A. To prove the reliability of intuition. B. To reveal the book’s academic nature. C. To underline the deep truth of judgement. D. To demonstrate Spiegelhalter’s writing approach. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. A master of math teaching. B. A book on intuitive assumptions. C. A discussion of risk management. D. A guide to understanding probability. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了一本名为《不确定性的艺术》的新书，该书通过直观假设和简单数学阐述了深刻真理，且文字通俗易懂，适合广大读者阅读。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“But ‘Solve this quadratic equation (二次方程式)’ would leave the classroom nonplussed and the lecture theatre unimpressed.(但是“解这个二次方程”会让教室里的学生感到……，让讲堂里的听众不感兴趣)”可知，and后并列的信息为“讲堂里的听众不感兴趣”，因此划线词信息应该与其保持一致，即对于让学生“解这个二次方程”的反应应该是感到困惑不解。因此，划线词意为“困惑的，不知所措的”与C选项“Confused.(感到困惑的)”为同义词。故选C项。 13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“His new book will appeal to many more than just mathematicians, for its topic is universal: how to analyse chance, uncertainty and risk.(他的新书将吸引更多的人，而不仅仅是数学家，因为它的主题是普遍的：如何分析机会，不确定性和风险。)”可知，因为该书主题的普遍性，他的新书不仅仅会吸引数学家，还会吸引更多人。由此可知，《不确定性的艺术》这本书最大的卖点是它对普通人来说很有意义。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“First, he uses them to illustrate broader ideas about how probability and statistics work. So a discussion of vaccine safety proceeds to Bayes’s theorem, a procedure for improving one’s judgment of probabilities as new evidence comes to light. (首先，斯皮格尔哈尔特教授用这些问题来阐述关于概率和统计如何工作的更广泛的思想。因此，关于疫苗安全性的讨论就涉及到了贝叶斯定理，这是一个随着新证据的出现而改进人们对概率判断的程序。)”以及“The joy of Professor Spiegelhalter’s approach is that he reaches this deep truth through nothing more than some intuitive (直觉的) assumptions and very simple maths.( 斯皮格尔哈尔特教授的方法的乐趣在于，他只是通过一些直觉假设和非常简单的数学就得出了这个深刻的真理。)”可知，作者在第三段中提到贝叶斯定理是为了证明斯皮格尔哈尔特的写作方法，即通过简单的直觉假设和数学得出深刻的真理。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中的“Now Sir David Spiegelhalter, professor of statistics at the University of Cambridge, has added to the category with The Art of Uncertainty. His new book will appeal to many more than just mathematicians, for its topic is universal: how to analyse chance, uncertainty and risk.( 现在，剑桥大学统计学教授大卫•斯皮格尔哈尔特(David Spiegelhalter)用《不确定性的艺术》(The Art of Uncertainty)一书为这个类别增添了新的内容。他的新书将吸引更多非数学家的人群，因为它的主题是普遍的：如何分析机会、不确定性和风险。)”可知，本文主要介绍了大卫•斯皮格尔哈尔特教授的新书《不确定性的艺术》，这本书的主题是关于如何分析机会、不确定性和风险的，即本文主要讲的是一本关于理解概率的指南。D选项“A guide to understanding probability.(理解概率的指南。)”符合文章主旨。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Emotional regulation has emerged as a critical skill for adolescents navigating the complex challenges of high school life.

The gap between their ____37____ (efficient) and human intuition is widening, raising moral concerns. A recent study found that AI-driven hiring tools reject qualified candidates simply because their resumes do not follow standard formats. Worse, such systems operate in secret: it is the lack of transparency ____38____ frustrates both applicants and regulators. Over the past decade, AI ____39____ (rise) to replace not only repetitive jobs but also complex decision-making roles. Many corporations continue to adopt unregulated AI tools, ____40____ the risks being well-documented. In contrast to human judgment, AI systems often fail to account for contextual nuances (细微差别). These limitations, ____41____ stem from rigid programming, are particularly dangerous in high-stakes fields. AI, ____42____ (lack) emotional intelligence, cannot comprehend subtle human cues in sensitive situations. Last month, a hospital in Zurich ____43____ (accident) discharged a patient due to an AI misdiagnosis, sparking outrage. ____44____ incident highlighted the urgent need for oversight. Meanwhile, ____45____ (critic) argue that holding machines accountable requires legal frameworks, not just technical fixes. The core issue lies in balancing automation with humanity. Only by addressing these challenges can we ensure AI serves society, not the other way around. 【答案】36. Were 37. efficiency 38. that 39. has risen 40. despite 41 which 42. lacking 43. accidentally 44. The 45. critics 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了在人工智能时代，算法对人类生活影响增大，指出完全依赖人工智能做决策后果可能很严重，强调要平衡自动化与人性。 【36题详解】 考查虚拟语气。句意：如果人类完全依靠人工智能来做关键决策，后果可能是灾难性的。根据解码句意，“(be) humans to fully rely on AI for critical decisions”是省略if的虚拟条件句，原句为“If humans were to fully rely on AI for critical decisions”，当虚拟条件句中有were, had, should时，可将其提前，省略if，此处表示对将来情况的虚拟，用“were + 主语 + to do”结构；句首单词首字母大写。故填Were。 【37题详解】 考查名词。句意：它们的效率和人类直觉之间的差距正在扩大，引发了道德方面的担忧。形容词性物主代词“their”后接名词，efficient的名词形式是efficiency，作宾语，意为“效率”，不可数名词。故填efficiency。 【38题详解】 考查强调句。句意：更糟糕的是，这样的系统在秘密运行：正是缺乏透明度让求职者和监管者都感到沮丧。此句是强调句结构“It is/was + 被强调部分 + that + 其他部分”，本句强调的是原句主语“the lack of transparency”，其他部分由that引出。故填that。 【39题详解】 考查时态主语和主谓一致。句意：在过去的十年里，人工智能不仅已经崛起取代重复性工作，还取代了复杂的决策角色。rise(提高，崛起)是谓语动词，与主语“AI”之间是主动有关系，结合时间状语“Over the past decade”可知，描述过去持续到现在的行为，用现在完成时的主动语态，主语是单数名词，谓语用单数形式。故填has risen。 【40题详解】 考查介词。句意：尽管风险已有充分记录，但许多公司仍在采用未受监管的人工智能工具。“Many corporations continue to adopt unregulated AI tools”和“the risks being well-documented”之间是让步状语，用介词despite构成介词短语作让步状语，意为“尽管”。故填despite。 【41题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：这些源于刻板编程的局限性，在高风险领域尤其危险。“____ stem from rigid programming”是非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词“These limitations”，指物，关系词将其代入从句中作主语，用关系代词which引导从句。故填which。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：人工智能缺乏情商，在敏感情况下无法理解微妙的人类暗示。“(lack) emotional intelligence”作后置定语，lack(缺乏)是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语“AI”之间是主动关系，用现在分词表主动。故填lacking。 【43题详解】 考查副词。句意：上个月，苏黎世的一家医院由于人工智能误诊意外地放走了一名病人，引发了公愤。提示词修饰动词“discharged”，用副词accidentally作状语，意为“意外地”。故填accidentally。 【44题详解】 考查冠词。句意：这一事件凸显了监管的迫切需要。此处特指上文提到的医院因人工智能误诊放走病人这一事件，用定冠词the限定；句首单词首字母大写。故填The。 【45题详解】 考查名词。句意：与此同时，批评者认为让机器负责需要法律框架，而不仅仅是技术修复。“argue”是谓语动词，前面缺少主语，可数名词critic意为“批评者”，这里泛指所有批评者，用复数形式。故填critics。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假设你是李华，作为校英文记者，你参加了你校上周举办的“非遗遇上科技”(Intangible Cultural Heritage Meets Technology)工作坊活动。请根据以下要点写一篇新闻报道： 写作内容要求： 1.活动基本信息(时间、地点、意义)； 2.活动主要内容及亮点； 3.活动反响。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“Intangible Cultural Heritage Meets Technology” Workshop Held Successfully Last week, our school hosted a remarkable workshop named “Intangible Cultural Heritage Meets Technology” in the school hall.

The family planted in spring, and harvested the crops in autumn. They set aside enough for the whole year, and sold the extra in the market. With the money, the family could buy necessities and prepare seeds and fertilizer(肥料)for the next year. Look, the farmer was making his land ready for his next session of farming. The only issue faced by him was an in sufficient amount of water for the fields. After discussing with his family, the farmer came to a conclusion to dig a well nearby his land. This idea could not only solve the present problem of lacking water, but also improve the watering system once and for all. After managing to get all the materials prepared, he went to visit an expert to ask for advice about where he should dig one. Under the guidance, he started the project at the edge of the land with great expectation. He worked very hard to dig day and night. Several days passed, and there was no water coming out, but he had confidence and further dug the well even without his lunch or dinner. Three days later, he became discouraged as nothing changed though he dug deeper and deeper. His hard work was not rewarded. The whole family boosted his confidence and advised him not to lose hope. He didn’t want to disappoint anyone, especially himself, and began his project again. Another two days went by, and there was not a single drop of water coming from the well. He was completely tired, lost patience and went home thinking that everything was a waste of time. Although his family still believed they were able to find water there, the result made them accept the failure. In case passers-by fell into the hole by mistake, they put a piece of wood which was the size of five fingers long near the unfinished well. Since then, the family didn’t talk about the well any more. 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 night, a villager walked beside the well and hit his leg on that wood by mistake. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Water sprang up from the well as soon as the wood was hit down and rose to a certain level. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Paragraph 1: One night, a villager walked beside the well and hit his leg on that wood by mistake. His leg really hurt as the piece of wood was very solid. It took him a long time to recover from the pain. This man became so annoyed that with all his frustration and anger he lifted the piece of wood, and with full energy threw the wood inside the well. The moment the man threw the wood, it went and hard hit the ground nearly three fingers deep. Paragraph 2: Water sprang up from the well as soon as the wood was hit down and rose to a certain level. When the farmer heard about this, he rushed to his well. Seeing water rising up from the well that he dug, he was too choked with emotion to speak. His eyes filled with tears as his hard work eventually paid off. After inquiring the villager about what happened, he knew if he had a little more patience he would have succeeded earlier. He was delighted that it helped him realize one requires more patience in any task being accomplished. 【解析】 【分析】本文以一口井为线索，讲述了一个农民为了解决农田缺水的问题，而且可以从根本上改善灌溉系统，决定在自家土地的边缘挖一口井，结果经过自己多天的努力没有成功，自己就放弃了，在井边放了一块五指大小的木头。偶然间有个村民被木头伤到，很气愤地扔下了木头，结果井就出水了。农夫才知道如果他有多一点耐心，他早就成功了。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“一天晚上，一个村民走在井边，不小心把腿撞到了木头上。”可知，第一段可描写村民撞到木头上发生了什么事，造成了什么伤害，以及村民采取了什么行动。 ②由第二段首句内容“木头一被撞倒，水就从井里涌了出来，上升到一定的高度。”可知第二段可描写农民知道出水了之后的表现以及反思。 2.续写线索：村民误撞到木头——井里出水 ——懊悔不已——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①走到井边：walk beside the well/ wander around the well ②从疼痛中恢复过来：recover from the pain/get well from the pain ③把木头扔进井里：throw the wood inside the well/cast the wood into the well ④从井里涌出： spring up from the well / rise up from the well / pour out from the well 情绪类 ①生气：annoyed/angry/mad ②激动的：choked/excited/emotional ③高兴d：delighted/happy/pleased/cheerful 【点睛】d [高分句型1] This man became so annoyed that with all his frustration and anger he lifted the piece of wood, and with full energy threw the wood inside the well.（使用了so…that引导的结果状语从句） [高分句型2] The moment the man threw the wood, it went and hard hit the ground nearly three fingers deep.（the moment引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型3] Seeing water rising up from the well that he dug, he was too choked with emotion to speak.（非谓语作状语的使用） [高分句型4] After inquiring the villager about what happened, he knew if he had a little more patience he would have succeeded earlier.（after引导时间状语从句，虚拟语气的使用） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025学年度下学期期中考试高二年级 英语科试卷 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

B One of China’s first female sea-rescue pilots looks back in pride at 300-plus missions and promises to save more lives. When the perfect storm brews (酝酿) over the boundless sea and lives are in danger, a crew of highly trained professionals embarks on a mission impossible to search for and rescue survivors from the rough waters. Wan Qiuwen is one of them. And, she’s a woman. The 36-year-old from Shanghai has broken the glass ceiling to become one of China’s first two female rescue helicopter pilots who respond to search and rescue missions involving cargo ship snags (货船遇险), vessel accidents, medical emergencies and special marine operations. The demanding nature of the profession had always favored male candidates until the rules were changed for the first and only time. She says, “Rescue at sea can be both challenging and terrifying. If you don’t think and act fast, people may die.” On Aug 20,2020, an oil tanker ferrying 3,000 metric tons of gasoline collided with a cargo ship loaded with sand and gravel about 1.5 nautical miles (2,778 meters) southeast of the Yangtze River estuary, sparking a fire on the deck of the oil tanker and causing the latter to sink. Wan was among the first respondents. She flew to the site from Gaodong helicopter airport, which is the country’s first-of-its-kind marine rescue launchpad (发射台). “The tanker was still burning and there was a thick envelope of smoke, reducing visibility to near zero.” she recalls. And yet, with her sea wisdom, Wan spotted a survivor and executed a successful rescue operation. She hovered above the troubled waters for a couple of minutes to estimate the best extraction point, and then threw down a rope and pulled up a seriously injured crew member. Now, a mother of a boy, when people ask her if she will continue to fly once her child grows up, Wan’s response is affirmative. “This profession is about saving lives and I am a rescue pilot, once and always.” 4. Which of the following best describe Wan Qiuwen? A. Courageous and Creative. B. Professional and Determined. C. Conservative and Hardworking. D. Responsible and Self-disciplined. 5. What can be learned from the accident happening on August 20,2020? A. It is visible for Wan to see clearly the site from the sky. B. Both the oil tanker and the cargo ship sank after collision. C. During the rescue, Wan threw down a rope without hesitation. D. Before taking rescue action Wan made a judgement on the situation. 6. What deeper societal meaning does Wan Qiuwen “breaking the glass ceiling” carry? A. She redefined technical standards for helicopter piloting. B. She overcame physical challenges during rescue missions. C. She prioritized personal ambition over professional norms. D. She challenged entrenched gender stereotypes in a male-dominated profession. 7. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To call on more people to be a sea-rescue pilot. B. To inform the risks of becoming a sea-rescue pilot. C. To introduce an exceptional woman sea-rescue pilot. D. To educate people the meaning of breaking through gender prejudice. C Witnessing the blood-red fires of a volcanic eruption on Earth is memorable. But watching liquid rock spill out of a volcano on another planet would be amazing. That is close to what scientists have spotted on Venus: two vast, sinuous lava flows seeping from two different corners of Earth’s planetary neighbor. These findings suggest that Venus, long considered geologically dead, may still be volcanically active today — a revelation that could reshape our understanding of planetary evolution. “After you see something like this, the first reaction is ‘wow’,” said Davide Sulcanese, author of a study reporting the discovery in the journal Nature Astronomy. “This isn’t just about lava flows; it’s about unlocking the secrets of how rocky planets age differently.” Earth and Venus were forged at the same time. Both are made of the same primeval matter, and both are the same age and size. So why is Earth a paradise overflowing with water and life, while Venus is a scorched hellscape with acidic skies? The answer may lie in their volcanic histories. Volcanic eruptions change planet atmospheres. One theory holds that, long ago, massive eruptions set off a runaway greenhouse effect on Venus, turning it from a temperate, waterlogged world into a dry desert. If future missions confirm ongoing eruptions, it would mean Venus is still geologically alive — and its destructive transformation might not be over yet. To better understand its volcanism, scientists hoped to catch a Venusian eruption in the act. But although the planet is known to be covered with volcanoes, a non-transparent atmosphere has prevented anyone from seeing an eruption directly. Advanced technology is now peeling back Venus’s thick clouds, offering glimpses of its fiery past — and present. In the 1990s, NASA used cloud-penetrating radar to survey most of the planet. But back then, the relatively low-resolution images made spotting fresh molten rock a troublesome task. By using modern software, scientists have now found two unambiguous lava flows, proving that Venus still has stories left to tell. 8. What is the main discovery mentioned in the passage? A. A new type of volcano on Venus. B. Evidence of recent volcanic activity on Venus. C. The first direct observation of a Venusian eruption. D. A comparison between Earth and Venus’s atmospheres. 9. According to the passage, why is Venus now extremely hot and dry? A It lost its atmosphere due to solar winds. B. It never had water or life in the first place. C. It was always closer to the Sun than Earth. D. Massive volcanic emptions triggered a greenhouse effect. 10. What made it difficult for scientists to detect fresh lava flows on Venus in the past? A. The lack of advanced radar technology. B. The lava flows were too small to be seen. C. The planet’s thick and opaque atmosphere. D. The images from the 1990s had low resolution. 11. What is the most appropriate title for the passage? A. Hellish Transformation: Venus’s Climate Catastrophe B. Twin Planets: Why Earth and Venus Became Different C. Volcanic Awakening: Venus’s Hidden Activity Revealed D. Cloud-Piercing Breakthrough: Mapping Venus’s Volcanoes D A challenge of teaching mathematics rather than, say, history is that the homework is a lot harder to come up with. After all, “Was Henry VIII a good king?” is a reasonable question to ask either a classroom of nine-year-olds or a lecture theatre of postgraduates. But “Solve this quadratic equation (二次方程式)” would leave the classroom nonplussed and the lecture theatre unimpressed. Maths is learned by doing and designing a problem that is easy enough to be accessible, yet hard enough to be satisfying, is a big headache in itself. Partly for this reason, books that successfully communicate how mathematicians think, but are aimed at those not already in the field, are both valuable and rare. Now Sir David Spiegelhalter, professor of statistics at the University of Cambridge, has added to the category with The Art of Uncertainty. His new book will appeal to many more than just mathematicians, for its topic is universal: how to analyse chance, uncertainty and risk. If a new virus is running wild and the majority of deaths are among those who have received a newer vaccine (疫苗), is that evidence that the vaccination program is harmful? How much of top football teams’ performance comes down to luck rather than skill? Professor Spiegelhalter’s exploration of such questions is delightful. First, he uses them to illustrate broader ideas about how probability and statistics work. So a discussion of vaccine safety proceeds to Bayes’s theorem, a procedure for improving one’s judgment of probabilities as new evidence comes to light. The joy of Professor Spiegelhalter’s approach is that he reaches this deep truth through nothing more than some intuitive (直觉的) assumptions and very simple maths. Most important, though, is Professor Spiegelhalter’s skill at communicating these ideas. Much of probability and statistics can go against our intuition, and the maths behind it is often fearsome. But this is not a difficult book to read or understand. 12. What does the underlined word “nonplussed” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Impressed. B. Inspired. C. Confused. D. Amused. 13. What is the biggest selling point of The Art of Uncertainty according to the author? A. It casts light on math thoughts. B It covers various topics. C. It makes sense to ordinary people. D. It satisfies maths professionals. 14. Why does the author mention Bayes’s theorem in paragraph 3? A To prove the reliability of intuition. B. To reveal the book’s academic nature. C. To underline the deep truth of judgement. D. To demonstrate Spiegelhalter’s writing approach. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. A master of math teaching. B. A book on intuitive assumptions. C. A discussion of risk management. D. A guide to understanding probability. 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。 Emotional regulation has emerged as a critical skill for adolescents navigating the complex challenges of high school life.

The family planted in spring, and harvested the crops in autumn. They set aside enough for the whole year, and sold the extra in the market. With the money, the family could buy necessities and prepare seeds and fertilizer(肥料)for the next year. Look, the farmer was making his land ready for his next session of farming. The only issue faced by him was an in sufficient amount of water for the fields. After discussing with his family, the farmer came to a conclusion to dig a well nearby his land. This idea could not only solve the present problem of lacking water, but also improve the watering system once and for all. After managing to get all the materials prepared, he went to visit an expert to ask for advice about where he should dig one. Under the guidance, he started the project at the edge of the land with great expectation. He worked very hard to dig day and night. Several days passed, and there was no water coming out, but he had confidence and further dug the well even without his lunch or dinner. Three days later, he became discouraged as nothing changed though he dug deeper and deeper. His hard work was not rewarded. The whole family boosted his confidence and advised him not to lose hope. He didn’t want to disappoint anyone, especially himself, and began his project again. Another two days went by, and there was not a single drop of water coming from the well. He was completely tired, lost patience and went home thinking that everything was a waste of time. Although his family still believed they were able to find water there, the result made them accept the failure. In case passers-by fell into the hole by mistake, they put a piece of wood which was the size of five fingers long near the unfinished well. Since then, the family didn’t talk about the well any more. 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 night, a villager walked beside the well and hit his leg on that wood by mistake. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Water sprang up from the well as soon as the wood was hit down and rose to a certain level. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
