Making its world debut (首映式) right here in Philadelphia, the exhibition takes guests behind the scenes and puts them into the magic of Disney at what’s sure to be one of the must-see exhibitions of this year. When to Visit From February 18 to August 27. What to Expect The exhibition features 10 large, themed galleries that tell the history of Disney from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Strange World. What can guests expect? Items from the Walt Disney Archives (档案馆), as well as more than 250 of Disney’s “Crown Jewels”. That includes seldom seen original artworks and behind-the-scenes collection.

AmQkJAgLSoMBRAUKAxigRNAFIA=}#} B Healing the Whole Family For a long time, I didn’t know about depression and anxiety, and the adults around me never suspected, because it seemed that I had it all together: perfect SAT (美国学业能力倾向测验) score, ten AP (大学先修课程) tests passed successfully, national awards won, president of clubs, devoted volunteer, and founder of a nonprofit. When I burst into tears, my father would yell at me to stop crying. And when I shared my negative thoughts with my mother, she called me selfish. I felt unworthy of their love until I was perfect enough. I attended Yale University as a first-generation Japanese student supported through financial aid, worked at McKinsey, one of the world’s largest consulting firms, and received two master’s degrees from Stanford University. My fears of not being good enough seem groundless now, but perhaps were understandable given my upbringing. Raised by neglectful and abusive parents, my parents had scars they dared not uncover even for themselves to see. No one had taught them to address those traumas (创伤) and to avoid repeating them through anxiety-filled parenting. I cannot remember a time when my home was worry-free. I learned early that any moment without worry was idle. When my grandmother died in my freshman year of college, my mother chose to “get on with” her life, focusing on raising my brother. For years after, my brother struggled with his weight and schoolwork to the point of near expulsion (开除) from school. As my mother looked for ways to help my brother, she came across Virginia Satir’s family therapy. Satir saw every family as a system. Changing one part changes the whole thing. This made my mother start processing her own traumas. So did I. During college, I sought counseling and studied wellness. I began to keep a diary to overcome my past’s shadow. In my final year, I told my family I had seen a therapist, and that it had helped. My family was surprised to find out my mental health challenges were “bad enough” to lead me to seek help. It was hard on my parents, who are part of a generation focused on survival rather than wellness, to hear how their parenting had made a lasting impact on me. It took much time and effort for my parents to shift away from the mindset they had grown up with. Years into the journey, my mother now runs a nonprofit organization teaching thousands of Mandarin-speaking parents about conscious communication. At her recent workshop, heard my dad tell a parent, “I didn’t believe in therapy until my daughter told me that it’s like fixing a cavity (蛀牙洞) at the dentist, which makes a lot of sense to me now. Watching my family learn helped me see that I have room to grow, too.” 24． Why did the author mention all her achievements? A. To stress that achievements didn’t ensure emotional well-being. B. To prove that she was qualified to be critical about her family. C. To invite readers to rethink the definition of success. D. To show her parents played a role in her education. RAUKAxigRNAFIA=}#} 25． What is Paragraph 3 mainly talking about? A. The upbringing of the author’s parents. B. The root cause of the author’s anxieties. C. The terrible author-parental relationship. D. The common fixed images of Asian students. 26． What motivated the author’s mother to deal with her own traumas? A. The focus on her own wellness. B. The sorrow brought by the death of her own mother. C. The fact that her daughter was diagnosed with depression. D. The belief that changing herself might help address her son’s issues. 27． Which of the following best describes the purpose of the article? A. To analyze the generational differences in attitudes towards wellness. B. To record how the author came to understand and forgive her parents. C. To show the role of family interactions in mental health and trauma recovery. D. To describe the author’s personal struggles of overcoming depression and anxiety. C In the risky world of nuclear arms control, Princeton student Lepowsky is exploring how robots can make inspections (调查) more exact and acceptable to host nations worried about invasive (侵入 的) traditional methods. His latest research has led to a robot performing inspections without saving sensitive information. “The host nation likely won’t want a human inspector poking their nose around,” said Lepowsky. “But even a robot has memory and sensors acquiring data.” “The goal is to have high-confidence inspections without the robot saving information. For example, the robot would not save radiation (辐 射) measurements or create floor plans of sensitive areas.” The new prototype (样机) is built on an iRobot Create 3 platform, an educational robot. Compared with human inspectors, robots can tolerate higher radiation levels, cost less, and are more consistent. They also can be programmed to generate trust, such as not using cameras to avoid seeing unwanted details. According to Lepowsky’s adviser, Glaser, who was curious about creating a “forgetful robot”, the new prototype could perform highly accurate nuclear arms inspections but forget everything afterward. This led to an even more interesting idea: “Rather than forgetting, we’re not even remembering in the first place,” Lepowsky said. He believes this feature can reassure hosts concerned about privacy. Lepowsky likes the interdisciplinary nature of his work—using both his robotics and policy expertise—and he likes that it requires a wide range of knowledge, not just depth. He values that his research is grounded in real-life applications for global security and nuclear nonproliferation (防核扩散). Predicting when the robot might be used in the field is difficult. “It’s easy to say, today, it’s not very realistic, but you have to be ready for if and when it becomes possible,” said Lepowsky. Research into this problem is very active. Because arms control is changing, the specific objectives of future agreements are hard to predict. “But we can hope they will be positive, and we need to be ready, technically.” BRAUKAxigRNAFIA=}#} 28． In which aspect is Lepowsky’s robot different from human inspectors? A. Data security. B. Educational function. C. Social acceptance. D. User friendliness. 29． What is said about the robot in Paragraph 3? A. Its accurate system. B. Its privacy risks. C. Its design advantages. D. Its operational problems. 30． What does Lepowsky like about his work? A. Scientific research data. B. Real-time technical cooperation. C. In-depth theoretical studies. D. Integrated knowledge across fields. 31． Which would be the best title for this passage? A. “Curious” Robots: Ready for Radiation Detection? B. No-Memory Robots: The Future of Nuclear Checks? C. Nuclear Arms Control: Robots or Human Inspectors? D. “Forgetful” Robots: An Invasive Path to Acquire Data? D People pursuing perfection and those valuing being on time often don’t see eye to eye in the workplace. But according to a recent study, it is better to deliver a good-enough project on schedule rather than perfecting it through procrastination. Researchers surveyed thousands of people in the U.S. and U.K., including managers and others whose jobs included evaluating others. They presented participants with the same examples of work, and then asked them to rate it. But first, they mentioned whether it was either submitted (提交) early, right at the deadline or late. Respondents who were told it was late consistently rated the work as worse in quality than those who were told the same work was early or on time. The study also found there wasn’t much benefit to submitting work early since evaluators tended to rank work submitted before and at the deadline as the same quality. Furthermore, it didn’t matter how late the work was submitted, with one day or one week delays viewed just as negatively and that remained the case if the employee gave their manager advance warning. A field experiment was conducted in a high school in China that had students grade pieces of art in a staged contest. The art was on a piece of paper that also included the date it was submitted. Even though the kids were told to ignore all other details on the paper other than the art itself, the version submitted after the deadline received lower grades. That study made the broader point that it didn’t really matter who set the deadline. In the eyes of the evaluator, any miss was a meaningful miss. However, the reason behind the missed deadline mattered, researchers found. If it was due to forces beyond an employee’s control, evaluators didn’t end up with as negative a view of the work as they did when the reason was one within their control. “If the reason why you missed the deadline was beyond your control, you as the employee should let your manager know,” Maglio says. “That seems to be one of the few instances in which people cut you a break.” UKAxigRNAFIA=}# 32． What does the underlined word “procrastination” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Delay. B. Editing. C. Teamwork. D. Reviewing. 33． What can be concluded from the research result? A. Submitting work early means much in evaluations. B. Pre-communicated delays lead to positive evaluations. C. Minimal delays get better evaluations than long delays. D. Late work is judged more negatively than on-time submissions. 34． What does the author want to show by mentioning the field experiment in China? A. The art itself rather than other details counts. B. The research finding holds true across age and culture. C. A peer-to-peer evaluation can be an informative tool. D. Kids tend to judge submissions more objectively. 35． What can be implied from the last paragraph? A. Employees get unfair reviews. B. Bosses need to care about employees. C. Communication around deadlines is vital. D. A deadline is definite and unchangeable. 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Within weeks of chatbots’ launch, ChatGPT kicked off a new global race in artificial intelligence. The chatbots are part of a fresh wave of so-called generative AI—sophisticated systems that produce content from texts to images. However, one key lesson concerning AI chatbots is to change (or lower) our expectations. 36 Don’t use chatbots for factual answers Google and Wikipedia aren’t perfect, but they’re good enough for reliable factual information most of the time. 37 It might be correct or surprisingly wrong. And if the chatbot doesn’t know the answer, it might invent a reasonable-sounding answer. 38 When you are planning a birthday party, you can type into ChatGPT for help with the invitation. AI had sucked up a bunch of children’s party invitations from the internet. You can have a glimpse at what all those party-throwing parents had done before. Do know what chatbots are best at Chatbots can be amazing at explaining complicated topics like cryptocurrency (加密电子货币) as though you’re 5 years old. To understand this strength, it helps to know that the software has been fed data from Reddit, including a forum called “Explain Like I’m Five.” 39 That makes ChatGPT good at personalized recipe planning. Again, you should treat ChatGPT less as a reliable cookbook and more as a meal-planning brainstorming partner. UKAxigRNAFIA=}#} Don’t get frustrated and give up 40 The five minutes of travel planning with ChatGPT could have popped up some ideas for you to research further. A. Don’t ask a chatbot once and stop. B. Do use chatbots to help you brainstorm. C. Similarly, there are loads of recipes on the internet. D. ChatGPT is less like a Magic Ball and more like a brainstorming partner. E. While chatbots are far from perfect, they are worth an investment of your time. F. AI chatbots give you the average or typical response from information from lots of websites. G. ChatGPT can offer many ideas, some of which may be the start of a good one for you to develop. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分 45 分） 第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最 佳选项。 To adapt is to move ahead That was the afternoon when I knew I would never swim.

I had to find other ways to connect with the water and my loss. Swimming is now 52 , but I still take 53 from seeing my family and friends in the water. Swimming was the first big physical 54 in my life, and I know there will be others. Everyday tasks, such as cleaning my teeth or feeding myself, may become too difficult as the years pass. I’ve learned it’s OK to 55 what my body could do before and find ways to adapt and enjoy what I can do now. kJAgLSoMBRAUKAxigRNAFIA=}#} 41． A. gave way B. took place C. gained ground D. kept control 42． A. appearance B. voice C. body D. soul 43． A. pain B. shortage C. depression D. weakness 44． A. aimless B. weightless C. restless D. helpless 45． A. proved B. meant C. offered D. left 46． A. increasingly B. barely C. slightly D. fortunately 47． A. appeal B. dream C. request D. attempt 48． A. boring B. encouraging C. stressful D. pleasant 49． A. acceptance B. embarrassment C. comfort D. regret 50． A. forgive B. entertain C. push D. defend 51． A.

This is Mary speaking. I’m organizing a little party for my birthday this Saturday. It’s nothing very big. We’re going to have it at my house. I’d love to see you. M: Thanks for having me, but I have another appointment. Text 2 W: Tom, my Chinese friend invites me to celebrate the Lantern Festival with her. Do you know when it began? M: Yes. It has a long history. During the Han Dynasty, more than 2,000 years ago, Emperor Wen ordered that the 15th day of the first lunar month be dedicated to the festival. Text 3 M: I’m going to start learning how to play the guitar. I’m sure it will only take me a month to learn. W: You definitely have your head in the clouds! You’re going to need much longer than two months! Text 4 M: Sara, would you like to join me to the shopping center? W: That sounds good! Are we going to buy my Christmas gift in advance? M: We threw a birthday party for you yesterday, and Christmas is 3 months away. I think I’d better drive there myself. Text 5 W: Spring is coming soon. I want to do some exercise outside. I’ve made a list of the exercise for my weekly plan. M: Cycling on Saturday morning as usual? W: Other than that, I will also join friends for a game of softball on Monday evening. And I am running laps around the lake on Thursday afternoon. Text 6 M: What plans do you have for the summer break, Emily? W: I’m planning a vacation for my family. I have thought about visiting Miami, Florida again, and I really enjoyed the beach there last year. M: Yes. Miami is a beautiful city that really deserves a second time. W: But this year they want to visit the mountains. They are thinking about Colorado. M: How do you get there? W: Robert wants to take the family to go on a road trip, but I want to travel by plane from our home in Atlanta, because our sons, Brandon and Brent, prefer to experience the thrill of taking off into the air, traveling above the clouds, and looking down on the landscapes. M: It couldn’t be better! Text 7 M: Susan, shall we go to watch Sesame Street directed by Jonathan Krisel? It has good word of mouth. W: Who stars in the movie? M: I’d like to keep it a secret for the time being. W: All right. Could you tell me something about the story? M: Big Bird and his friends are forced to leave Sesame Street, ending up in Manhattan. They join a TV host trying to prove Sesame Street exists, but the Mayor wants to keep it hidden. That’s all for now. I don’t want to ruin your fun for watching it. W: I’m excited to learn about what happens to them in the end. When will the movie start? M: At 7:30 p.m. Let’s meet at the gate of the cinema half an hour before that. W: How about one hour earlier? If so, we can have dinner nearby. It’s on me. M: That would be great. Text 8 M: May I help you? W: Yes. I want to buy some shoes to replace the ones I’m wearing. They are a little shabby. I like wearing them very much, though they are not a popular brand. M: Oh, it seems that you’ve worn them for a long time. Would you like the same color more or less? W: Yes. And something a little less casual. M: How about this light brown pair? They are similar to what you have, but a little bit dressier. Please try them on. W: They certainly look charming, but they pinch my toes. They are uncomfortable to wear. M: Then try on this black pair in the similar style but by a different manufacturer. W: These are better fit. Do you have them in white? M: Yes. Would you like both pairs? W: Yes. If they won’t cost too much. M: The first pair costs $180, and you can get the second pair at half price. Shall I put them both in the box for you? W: Just the white and the old ones. I’ll wear the new black pair home. Text 9 W: Mr. Geffroy, it’s my pleasure to meet you and it’s hard to believe that we are kind of on the side of a hill in the forest. M: I feel greatly honored to have a conversation with you here. We have a spectacular view of Mount Fuji on the other side of the valley. W: Oh, I did some sightseeing in Mount Fuji last fall. How long have you been here? M: Almost a decade. I’m currently teaching an intensive English course up here at the campus. W: Oh, nice. Do you enjoy being here? M: Sure. It is pleasant to walk in the woods. Walking in the forest, I can’t help but notice the smell of the pine trees, the sunlight falling on the rocks, and the sound of birds singing in the branches above. As I walk, my body creates endorphins that may have a positive effect on how I feel and reduce anxiety. W: OK, great! What’s the best thing about being in nature? M: Well, for me it’s the stress relief that it provides, especially living in Tokyo which is of course one of the world’s largest and most chaotic cities. It’s nice to just hear the insects which obviously we can hear very clearly right now, as well as some birds and you know it’s just nice to get back out into nature. W: I agree. OK. Thanks a lot, Mr. Geffroy. M: You’re welcome. Text 10 W: I don’t often lose things and I’m especially careful with money, so it was unbelievable to me when I reached for my wallet to pay for my dinner and it wasn’t there. At first, I thought that I could have left it in the bank after I made a withdrawal. Then I remembered taking it out to pay for the taxi before I walked into the restaurant. I wondered if it was possible that it could have slipped out of my pocket while I was sitting at the table, so I turned and walked back there. Several other people were sitting at the table at that time, so I explained to a waiter that my wallet had fallen out of my pocket a few minutes earlier. While he was looking for it, the manager came up to me and asked me if anything was wrong. I told the manager what had happened. He had me describe the wallet to him, and then he insisted that I report it to the police. I explained to him there was nothing important in the wallet except money. My biggest worry at the moment was how I was going to pay for the meal because I had an appointment to receive a medical treatment half an hour later. I didn’t want to get the police and other people involved in it. I really appreciated that he told me not to worry about that and he asked me to leave my email address and check the bill later. 西南大学附中2024―2025学年度下期期中考试 高一英语试题参考答案 听力：1-5BACCA 6-10BACAB 11-15ABCBA 16-20BBACB 阅读：21-23BDA 24-27 ABDC 28-31 ACDB 32-35 ADBC 七选五：DFBCE 完形：41-45ACDBB 46-50ADCAC 51-55BDBCB 单句：56. had assumed 57. surrounding 58. achievable 59. generosity 60. is being treated 61. removal 62. be established 63. inconvenient 64. whose 65. charged 66. repetition 67. gradually 68. to be forgiven 69.

With its black-tiled roofs, winding cobblestone streets, and a crystal-clear river flowing under ancient bridges, the town looks like a peaceful painting. Last weekend, I visited this magical place. Walking through its quiet alleys, I breathed in the scent of sweet flowers in the air. Elderly locals sat by doorways, smiling warmly as I passed, while children giggled beside bubbling streams. An old woman even shared her homemade rice cakes, telling me stories about the town’s past. As the sun set, golden light touched the old walls, and small boats on the river glowed like fireflies. This town, where nature and humanity harmonize, left an unforgettable mark on my soul. Its timeless beauty and genuine warmth are treasures I’ll cherish forever. I can’t wait to return and explore more of its hidden poetry. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
