He didn’t have any brothers or sisters. B. He was often left alone at home. C. He preferred reading to playing outside. 19. What does the speaker do in rainy days? A. Lying on the sand. B.

He doesn’t have any summer holidays any longer. 【答案】17. B 18. A 19. B 20. A 【解析】 【原文】The worst days in the summer for me are the rainy ones we spend all year looking forward to nice weather and long, hot days, all of winter, with its cloudy days and bitter cold. We dream of those endless days at the beach, lying on the sand and enjoying the bright and burning sun. And then summer comes and it rains. As a child, I would wake up to rainy summer days and come close to crying. On those rainy summer days, I had nothing fun to do and could only sit inside staring out at the rain like a bird in a cage. I was an only child, so there was no one else to play with. My father worked from home, so I was not truly alone, but he could not actively play with me since he was at work. It was those days that I would watch whatever was on television or read any books that I could find lying around. As an adult, though, my opinion of summer rain has changed. When you have to work every day, summer is not as exciting. Everything seems dull. Such a mindset makes you cheer for anything new or different. I spend the winter dreaming of summer and the summer dreaming of winter. When summer comes I hate how hot it is and then I look forward to the rain because the rain brings with it a cold front, which makes me comfortable. Rainy days are still the worst days of summer, but summer rain today means positively beautiful and considerably cooler weather tomorrow. 第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题; 每小题2. 5分, 满分37. 5分） 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A National Non-Fiction November is the perfect time to pick up a true life story.

(探索化石猎人先驱玛丽·安宁，她曾在悬崖和海岸寻找岩石和贝壳。)”可知，这本书讲的是Mary Anning的故事；Nina部分中“Meet Eunice, who sang before she could talk, and journey with her from the piano chair of her childhood to the huge concert halls where she performed as Nina Simone. (让我们来认识一下还不会说话就会唱歌的尤妮斯，带着她从童年时坐在钢琴椅上，一路走到她扮演Nina Simone的巨大音乐厅。)”可知，这本书讲的是Eunice的故事。这两本书都记录了真实的人物经历，故本题选B。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“National Non-Fiction November is the perfect time to pick up a true life story.

I loved the excitement I would feel when we went to watch these events, especially when the scores were close until the very end of the game. My meaningful attempt at sports began with T-ball at the age of three, progressed to the basketball court at six, and finally turned into a firm devotion to the game of baseball from the age of eight onward. One of my most memorable moments was at the World Series when I was eleven and played on the Texas Rattlers. The July heat was unbearable. It was the semi-final game. Sweating like a pig, we ran into the dugout for our last at-bat (上场击球); we were down one run now. I was the second hitter and captain of the team, and I was ready for this moment. In the next few seconds, I had the chance to show my strength as a hitter and my ability to be a leader under pressure by hitting a home run! We carried the day! As the team captain, I remember the time I had to give a speech to my team because we had lost an important game. I was nervous, but I knew it was my responsibility to cheer my team up when they were cast down. This experience has shaped my mind, making me become more independent, so I’m obtaining the ability to talk like a leader in front of my team and a group. Sports get it through my head that you can’t win at everything in life all the time. On and of the field, I am more iron-willed, disciplined (遵守纪律的) and respectful, and a better leader. I have had so many awesome experiences through sports, which have taught me much and prepared me for the future. The memories of all the trips and diverse experiences I have had will be with me for a lifetime. 24. What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph? A. He often switched sports. B.

Proud and confident. C. Unbearable and down. D. Surprised and energetic. 26. What was tough for the author according to paragraph 3? A. Leading his team to face failure. B. Giving a speech before the team. C. Improving his leadership qualities. D. Overcoming his own nervousness. 27. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Interesting Life of Sports B. Life Lessons from Sports C. Deep Affection for Sports D. Special Moments in Sports 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者通过体育运动获得的人生感悟。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In my childhood, my parents would take me to watch games. I loved the excitement I would feel when we went to watch these events, especially when the scores were close until the very end of the game. My meaningful attempt at sports began with T-ball at the age of three, progressed to the basketball court at six, and finally turned into a firm devotion to the game of baseball from the age of eight onward. (在我的童年时代，我的父母会带我去看比赛。我喜欢当我们去看这些比赛时所感受到的兴奋，尤其是当比分在最后关头仍然不相上下的时候。我三岁的时候，就开始有意义地尝试体育运动，从儿童棒球开始，六岁时开始打篮球，从八岁开始，我就对棒球产生了浓厚的兴趣。)”可推知，作者自幼就喜爱体育运动。故选D。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“One of my most memorable moments was at the World Series when I was eleven and played on the Texas Rattlers. The July heat was unbearable. It was the semi-final game. Sweating like a pig, we ran into the dugout for our last at-bat (上场击球); we were down one run now. I was the second hitter and captain of the team, and I was ready for this moment. In the next few seconds, I had the chance to show my strength as a hitter and my ability to be a leader under pressure by hitting a home run! We carried the day! (我最难忘的时刻之一，就是十一岁时我代表德克萨斯响尾蛇队参加世界大赛的时候。七月的酷热让人难以忍受。那是一场半决赛。我们像猪一样汗流浃背，冲进球员休息区进行最后一次击球；我们现在落后一分。我是队里的第二击球手和队长，我已经为这个时刻做好了准备。在接下来的几秒钟里，我有机会通过打出全垒打来展示我作为击球手的力量和在压力下作为领袖的能力！我们赢得了那天的比赛！)”可知，在作者难忘的一场半决赛中，在球队落后一分的情况下，他打出了本垒打，展示了他作为击球员的实力及球队队长的抗压能力，让球队赢得了比赛。通过这些描述，我们可以推断出，作者应是为此感到骄傲自豪的和自信的。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“As the team captain, I remember the time I had to give a speech to my team because we had lost an important game. I was nervous, but I knew it was my responsibility to cheer my team up when they were cast down. This experience has shaped my mind, making me become more independent, so I’m obtaining the ability to talk like a leader in front of my team and a group. Sports get it through my head that you can’t win at everything in life all the time. (作为队长，我记得有一次我不得不给我的球队演讲，因为我们输掉了一场重要的比赛。我很紧张，但我知道，当我的团队情绪低落时，我有责任让他们振作起来。这段经历塑造了我的思想，让我变得更加独立，所以我获得了在团队和团队面前像领导者一样说话的能力。体育运动让我明白，你不可能一直在生活中赢得一切。)”可知，作者认为困难的事是带领球队勇敢面对失败。故选A。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段介绍了作者从小就喜爱体育运动；第二段讲的是作者体育运动中的高光时刻；第三段讲的是体育运动教会作者接受失败；最后一段总结了体育运动教给作者很多东西，且这些经历和记忆将陪伴作者一生。由此可知，这篇文章主要讲述了作者通过体育运动获得的人生感悟，所以B项“Life Lessons from Sports (体育带给我们的人生感悟)”是本文最好的标题。故选B。 C Automation(自动化)is increasingly affecting many fields, causing debates like“Are Robots Coming for Your Job?” While many believe that creativity and artistic taste remain unique to human beings, advances in artificial intelligence(AI,人工智能)challenge this idea. For example, at Rutgers University's Art and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, AI has been developed to produce beautiful, original paintings. Similarly, Amper Music offers AI-driven music creation services. Users can choose the instruments, speed, and length of the piece, and the software produces an original piece that is also "performed"and "mixed"by AI. Amper's software is great at creating background music suitable for reality TV shows, online videos, and student films. It focuses on the market for ready-made music.These Al-created art and music are polished and attractive, but they raise important questions: What is the value of art when it can be produced in large quantities without human effort? Consider the Mona Lisa: its value comes partly from its scarcity — there is only one original. In contrast, Amper can create a new high-quality music piece every time you click, and Elgammal's AI painter can produce thousands of unique artworks rapidly. This situation creates a mixed world where art remains unique yet easily produced.It makes us wonder whether people should pay for such works and what their prices should be. This issue is real, not imaginary. Spotify recently attracted AI researcher Francois Pachet, who used to work at Sony, to develop tools for human composers(作曲家).However, there have been reports that Spotify's playlists included music from artists who don't actually exist, possibly allowing Spotify to avoid paying royalties (版税).While Spotify says the tracks were created by real people using fake(假的)names, there are still worries about whether AI could be used to produce free music,which could harm human musicians. As machines and technology start to replace many jobs, even creative fields like art and music are affected. This raises questions about the need for rules or groups to protect artists and whether society will continue to value human-made art more than machine-made creations. Ultimately, we must consider the effects of AI in art and music—who should get recognition when an AI-created piece wins awards like the Grammys? 28. What challenges the idea that creativity and artistic taste are unique to human beings? A. Robots doing physical tasks. B. AI making progress. C. Robots learning to debate. D. AI knowing painting. 29 What does the underlined word"scarcity"in paragraph 4 mean? A. Having high quality. B. Being extremely hard to get. C. Having natural beauty. D. Being impossible to copy 30. What does Francois Pachet do at Spotify? A. Creating playlists. B. Producing free music. C. Paying royalties. D. Creating tools to help musicians. 31. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. Confidence of humans'artistic ability B. Ways to promote AI-created art. C. Concerns about using AI in creative fields. D. The need for AI with human feelings. 【答案】28. B 29. B 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇探讨自动化尤其是人工智能在艺术和音乐领域影响的说明文。文章指出随着人工智能的发展，其在艺术创作方面取得进展，这对人类独有的创造力和艺术品味观念构成挑战，并引发了关于艺术价值、版权以及人类与机器创作作品受重视程度等诸多问题的讨论。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“While many believe that creativity and artistic taste remain unique to human beings, advances in artificial intelligence(AI,人工智能)challenge this idea.(虽然许多人认为创造力和艺术品味仍然是人类独有的，但人工智能（AI）的进步挑战了这一观点)”可知，是人工智能的进步对 “创造力和艺术品味是人类独有的” 这一观点构成挑战。故选B项。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Consider the Mona Lisa: its value comes partly from its scarcity —there is only one original.(以《蒙娜丽莎》为例：它的价值部分来自于它的scarcity—— 原作只有一幅)”可知，“原作只有一幅” ，可以推断出，这里 “scarcity” 指的是极其难以获得，因为数量极少。故选 B项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Spotify recently attracted AI researcher Francois Pachet, who used to work at Sony, to develop tools for human composers (作曲家).( Spotify 最近吸引了曾在索尼工作的人工智能研究员Francois Pachet，让他为人类作曲家开发工具)”可知，Francois Pachet 在 Spotify 的工作是为作曲家开发工具。故选D项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“As machines and technology start to replace many jobs, even creative fields like art and music are affected. This raises questions about the need for rules or groups to protect artists and whether society will continue to value human-made art more than machine-made creations. Ultimately, we must consider the effects of AI in art and music—who should get recognition when an AI-created piece wins awards like the Grammys?( 随着机器和技术开始取代众多工作岗位，就连艺术和音乐这类创造性领域也受到了影响。这引发了一系列问题，比如是否需要制定规则或成立组织来保护艺术家，以及社会是否会一如既往地更看重人类创作的艺术，而非机器创作的作品。归根结底，我们必须考虑人工智能在艺术和音乐领域所产生的影响 —— 当一件由人工智能创作的作品荣获格莱美奖这类奖项时，究竟该认可谁的成就)”可知，整段围绕着人工智能在创意领域（艺术和音乐）应用所引发的一系列担忧展开，如对艺术家的保护、人类与机器创作作品受重视程度以及奖项认可等问题。故选C项。 D Teens are now less likely to do part-time jobs, drink alcohol or go out without their parents than teens 10 or 20 years ago. This generation of teens is delaying (推迟) the responsibilities and pleasures of adulthood. Some people think that today’s teens are more responsible. Others have suggested that today’s teens aren’t working because they are simply lazy. To figure out what’s really going on, we should look at these trends (趋势) with “life history theory” taken into consideration. A “fast life method” was the most common parenting approach in the mid-20th century, when fewer high technology devices were available and the average woman had four children. The parents needed to focus on day-to-day survival. As a result, kids needed to take care of themselves sooner. A “slow life method” on the other hand is more common in times and places where families have fewer children and spend more time on each child’s growth and development. When an average family has two children, preparing for college can begin as early as primary schools. There is a clear difference between the two methods. The two methods are adaptations to a particular cultural background, so each isn’t naturally “good”or “bad”. Delaying exposure (接触) to alcohol, then, could make young adults less prepared to deal with drinking in college. One study found teens who rapidly increased their binge-drinking (酗酒) were more at risk of alcohol dependence than those who learned to drink over a longer period of time. The same might be true for teens who don’t work, drive or go out much in high school. College teachers describe students who can’t do anything without calling their parents. However, the “slow-life method” is also likely beneficial as teens are spending more time developing socially and emotionally before they drive, drink alcohol and work for pay. The key is to make sure that teens eventually get the opportunity to develop the skills they will need as adults: independence, along with social and decision making skills. For parents, this might mean pushing their teenagers out of the house more. 32. Compared with teens nowadays, which can best describe teens in the past? A. Believable. B. Outgoing. C. Intelligent. D. Independent. 33. What plays a key role in the trend of teens growing up more slowly? A. Social comments. B. Cultural changes. C. Educational development. D. Methods of education. 34. What does the author advise parents to do? A. Spend less time in taking care of their children. B. Force their children to leave home at an early age. C. Encourage their children to take part in social activities. D. Help their children to get to adulthood as soon as possible. 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. How teens develop skills they need in future B. Teens take no responsibility for what they do C. Why today’s teens aren’t in any hurry to grow up D. Nowadays teens can’t make decisions by themselves 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了现在的青少年不再像10年或20年前的青少年那样急着去做兼职、喝酒或在没有父母陪同的情况下外出，并探讨了背后的原因。 32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A “fast life method” was the most common parenting approach in the mid-20th century, when fewer high technology devices were available and the average woman had four children. (20世纪中叶，高科技设备较少，普通女性生育四个孩子，“快速生活方式”是最常见的育儿方式。父母需要关注日常生存，因此孩子们需要更早地照顾自己。)”可知，与现在的青少年相比，过去的青少年更独立。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The two methods are adaptations to a particular cultural background, so each isn’t naturally “good”or “bad”. (这两种方式有明显区别，它们都是对特定文化背景的适应，因此本身没有自然的“好”或“坏”之分。)”可知，文化变化在青少年成长缓慢的趋势中起着关键作用。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The key is to make sure that teens eventually get the opportunity to develop the skills they will need as adults: independence, along with social and decision making skills. For parents, this might mean pushing their teenagers out of the house more. (关键是确保青少年最终有机会培养他们成年后所需的技能：独立，以及社交和决策技能。对父母来说，这可能意味着要多把孩子赶出家门。)”可知，作者建议父母鼓励他们的孩子参加社交活动。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“Teens are now less likely to do part-time jobs, drink alcohol or go out without their parents than teens 10 or 20 years ago. This generation of teens is delaying (推迟) the responsibilities and pleasures of adulthood. (现在的青少年不再像10年或20年前的青少年那样急着去做兼职、喝酒或在没有父母陪同的情况下外出。这一代青少年推迟了成年人的责任和乐趣。)”可知，文章主要讲述了现在的青少年推迟了成年人的责任和乐趣，分析了背后的原因，并建议父母鼓励他们的孩子参加社交活动，所以C选项“Why today’s teens aren’t in any hurry to grow up. (为什么现在的青少年不急着长大。)”最符合文章标题。故选C。 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 What makes great storytelling for film? There are some tips for filmmakers about the art of it. One of the most important elements of great storytelling for film is how the story is told. Great movies can throw curveballs (曲线球) that you don’t see coming. ___36___ The standard structure for any kind of storytelling is to introduce your characters, setting and genre at the start. Any problems should be encountered somewhere in the middle of the story. ___37___ If you’ve got a brilliant story, think about what would happen if you began your film with the ending. Try experimenting with the timing of events, and how the order can impact the audience’s view. With a clear structure, you should consider how to grab the audience’s attention quickly. ___38___ Your story may be wonderful, but if it takes too long to get into, you might lose your audience before you’ve got going.

Joe had 4 grandchildren and they used to visit him during their holidays. And it was the vacation time and Joe was eagerly waiting for his grandchildren. He was making preparations for their arrival, cleaning the house, mowing (修剪) the lawn, rearranging the household items and buying snacks and dresses for the children, etc. However, in the busy arrangements, he lost his favorite watch, which was given by his late wife when their first child was born. Joe treasured the watch and it became his only companion (伴侣) after his wife’s death. He didn’t realize that he had lost the watch and received the kids happily at home. It was only the next day when he was about to take a bath that he remembered the watch was missing. He was shocked and very upset. His grandchildren asked him why he was so sad and what troubled him. Joe said, “Dear children, I lost the most precious watch I have ever had in my life. It was gifted by your grandma and I lost it while cleaning the house. I feel like I’m missing my heart.” Joe was in tears and the children promised him that they would find the watch for him. One granddaughter, Mary, asked, “Grandpa, do you remember when you saw the watch last before you lost it?” Joe said, “I guess when I was cleaning the barn.” The children immediately began to search for the watch in the barn. The barn was full of waste materials, books, broken furniture, etc. They searched for more than three hours with the help of Joe, but failed. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 After a fruitless search for the watch, Joe gave up. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mary stayed alone in the barn for about 10 minutes quietly and then rushed to her grandfather. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: After a fruitless search for the watch, Joe gave up.

Mary stayed alone in the barn for about 10 minutes quietly and then rushed to her grandfather. Yes, she got the watch and happily gave it to Joe. Seeing his watch again, Joe was so surprised and asked how she was able to find it. The little girl replied, “I sat there without making a noise and the barn was so silent. After a few minutes, I heard the ‘tick tick’ sound and found the watch.” Joe hugged her tightly and thanked the little girl again and again. 【解析】 【导语】本文以事件发展为线索展开，讲述了乔为迎接孩子们来度暑假而忙碌，却把妻子赠送给自己的手表丢失，当孩子们得知以后帮忙寻找却没有找到。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在找表无果后，乔放弃了。”可知，第一段可描写乔放弃寻找并让孩子们休息，但是玛丽进入谷仓要求大家都离开并保持安静，大家很困惑，但是还是听话照做。 ②由第二段首句内容“玛丽独自一人在谷仓里安静地呆了大约10分钟，然后冲向她的祖父。”可知，第二段可描写玛丽找到表以后还给了祖父，并告知她在谷仓里安静地听见了手走时的声音，找到了手表，祖父很高兴。 2.续写线索：放弃寻找——让孩子们休息——玛丽到达——大家安静离开——十分钟后找到表——在安静的情况下听到了表的走时声音——祖父很感激——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①停止：stop/bring…to an end ②放弃：give up /abandon ③看见：spot/catch sight of 情绪类 ①高兴地：happily/joyfully ②垂头丧气的：be disappointed / be frustrated 【点睛】[高分句型1]While the others were a little confused, they still followed what she said.（运用while引导让步状语从句及what引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2]Seeing his watch again, Joe was so surprised and asked how she was able to find it.（运用现在分词短语作状语及how引导的宾语从句） 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 高一英语试题 本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题) 两部分，共12页。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 第Ⅰ卷 第一部分听力理解（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，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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is the probable relationship between the speakers?

B In my childhood, my parents would take me to watch games. I loved the excitement I would feel when we went to watch these events, especially when the scores were close until the very end of the game. My meaningful attempt at sports began with T-ball at the age of three, progressed to the basketball court at six, and finally turned into a firm devotion to the game of baseball from the age of eight onward. One of my most memorable moments was at the World Series when I was eleven and played on the Texas Rattlers. The July heat was unbearable. It was the semi-final game. Sweating like a pig, we ran into the dugout for our last at-bat (上场击球); we were down one run now. I was the second hitter and captain of the team, and I was ready for this moment. In the next few seconds, I had the chance to show my strength as a hitter and my ability to be a leader under pressure by hitting a home run! We carried the day! As the team captain, I remember the time I had to give a speech to my team because we had lost an important game. I was nervous, but I knew it was my responsibility to cheer my team up when they were cast down. This experience has shaped my mind, making me become more independent, so I’m obtaining the ability to talk like a leader in front of my team and a group. Sports get it through my head that you can’t win at everything in life all the time. On and of the field, I am more iron-willed, disciplined (遵守纪律的) and respectful, and a better leader. I have had so many awesome experiences through sports, which have taught me much and prepared me for the future. The memories of all the trips and diverse experiences I have had will be with me for a lifetime. 24. What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph? A. He often switched sports. B. He was a gifted child in sports. C. He had a busy childhood. D. He was fond of sports from childhood. 25. How did the author feel during the semi-final at the World Series? A. Stressed and tired. B. Proud and confident. C. Unbearable and down. D. Surprised and energetic. 26. What was tough for the author according to paragraph 3? A. Leading his team to face failure. B. Giving a speech before the team. C. Improving his leadership qualities. D. Overcoming his own nervousness. 27. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Interesting Life of Sports B. Life Lessons from Sports C Deep Affection for Sports D. Special Moments in Sports C Automation(自动化)is increasingly affecting many fields, causing debates like“Are Robots Coming for Your Job?” While many believe that creativity and artistic taste remain unique to human beings, advances in artificial intelligence(AI,人工智能)challenge this idea. For example, at Rutgers University's Art and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, AI has been developed to produce beautiful, original paintings. Similarly, Amper Music offers AI-driven music creation services. Users can choose the instruments, speed, and length of the piece, and the software produces an original piece that is also "performed"and "mixed"by AI. Amper's software is great at creating background music suitable for reality TV shows, online videos, and student films. It focuses on the market for ready-made music.These Al-created art and music are polished and attractive, but they raise important questions: What is the value of art when it can be produced in large quantities without human effort? Consider the Mona Lisa: its value comes partly from its scarcity — there is only one original. In contrast, Amper can create a new high-quality music piece every time you click, and Elgammal's AI painter can produce thousands of unique artworks rapidly. This situation creates a mixed world where art remains unique yet easily produced.It makes us wonder whether people should pay for such works and what their prices should be. This issue is real, not imaginary. Spotify recently attracted AI researcher Francois Pachet, who used to work at Sony, to develop tools for human composers(作曲家).However, there have been reports that Spotify's playlists included music from artists who don't actually exist, possibly allowing Spotify to avoid paying royalties (版税).While Spotify says the tracks were created by real people using fake(假的)names, there are still worries about whether AI could be used to produce free music,which could harm human musicians. As machines and technology start to replace many jobs, even creative fields like art and music are affected. This raises questions about the need for rules or groups to protect artists and whether society will continue to value human-made art more than machine-made creations. Ultimately, we must consider the effects of AI in art and music—who should get recognition when an AI-created piece wins awards like the Grammys? 28. What challenges the idea that creativity and artistic taste are unique to human beings? A. Robots doing physical tasks. B. AI making progress. C. Robots learning to debate. D. AI knowing painting. 29. What does the underlined word"scarcity"in paragraph 4 mean? A. Having high quality. B. Being extremely hard to get. C. Having natural beauty. D. Being impossible to copy 30. What does Francois Pachet do at Spotify? A. Creating playlists. B. Producing free music. C. Paying royalties. D. Creating tools to help musicians. 31. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. Confidence of humans'artistic ability B. Ways to promote AI-created art. C. Concerns about using AI in creative fields. D. The need for AI with human feelings. D Teens are now less likely to do part-time jobs, drink alcohol or go out without their parents than teens 10 or 20 years ago. This generation of teens is delaying (推迟) the responsibilities and pleasures of adulthood. Some people think that today’s teens are more responsible. Others have suggested that today’s teens aren’t working because they are simply lazy. To figure out what’s really going on, we should look at these trends (趋势) with “life history theory” taken into consideration. A “fast life method” was the most common parenting approach in the mid-20th century, when fewer high technology devices were available and the average woman had four children. The parents needed to focus on day-to-day survival. As a result, kids needed to take care of themselves sooner. A “slow life method” on the other hand is more common in times and places where families have fewer children and spend more time on each child’s growth and development. When an average family has two children, preparing for college can begin as early as primary schools. There is a clear difference between the two methods. The two methods are adaptations to a particular cultural background, so each isn’t naturally “good”or “bad”. Delaying exposure (接触) to alcohol, then, could make young adults less prepared to deal with drinking in college. One study found teens who rapidly increased their binge-drinking (酗酒) were more at risk of alcohol dependence than those who learned to drink over a longer period of time. The same might be true for teens who don’t work, drive or go out much in high school. College teachers describe students who can’t do anything without calling their parents. However, the “slow-life method” is also likely beneficial as teens are spending more time developing socially and emotionally before they drive, drink alcohol and work for pay. The key is to make sure that teens eventually get the opportunity to develop the skills they will need as adults: independence, along with social and decision making skills. For parents, this might mean pushing their teenagers out of the house more. 32. Compared with teens nowadays, which can best describe teens in the past? A. Believable. B. Outgoing. C. Intelligent. D. Independent. 33. What plays a key role in the trend of teens growing up more slowly? A. Social comments. B. Cultural changes. C. Educational development. D. Methods of education. 34. What does the author advise parents to do? A. Spend less time in taking care of their children. B. Force their children to leave home at an early age. C. Encourage their children to take part in social activities. D. Help their children to get to adulthood as soon as possible. 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. How teens develop skills they need in future B. Teens take no responsibility for what they do C. Why today’s teens aren’t in any hurry to grow up D. Nowadays teens can’t make decisions by themselves 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 What makes great storytelling for film?

Who will want to watch this movie? What do they like doing and what interests them? ___40___ That can make it more attractive to the target audience. See if you can gather some statistics from any films that are in any way similar to the same genre. From this, you can judge who usually enjoys the genre, and who you can tailor your screenplay to.
