I’ve lived here long enough to appreciate famous landmarks! Fifth Avenue Fifth Avenue is one of the most famous streets in New York, and walking it always feels like you’re in a movie. I usually start around 59th Street, and head downtown towards the New York Public Library. Along the way, you pass major shopping landmarks like Saks, and the Apple Store, and some iconic spots like St. Patrick’s Cathedral and Rockefeller Center. Flatiron Building The Flatiron Building is one of NYC’s most iconic landmarks, and even though it’s currently under restoration, it still draws crowds every day. The shape is instantly recognizable, and I’ve never walked past it without seeing someone taking a photo. I usually grab a coffee from one of the nearby cafes and take a walk around the park to admire the view. Museum of Modern Art The Museum of Modern Art is one of the most famous museums in NYC. I still remember the first time I stood in front of Van Gogh’s Starry Night-it’s one of those moments you don’t forget. The museum is packed with modern and contemporary art from icons like Picasso, and Rothko. The layout is clean, with enough variety to keep teens, art lovers and first-time visitors all engaged. Lincoln Center Lincoln Center is one of the most iconic cultural landmarks in NYC, and it always feels like an event just to be there. I’ve come here for ballet, opera and live concerts. The architecture alone is worth seeing, especially at night when the plaza is shining and the fountain is lit. Even if you’re not catching a performance, you can take a guided tour, explore the nearby public art, or just sit by the fountain. 1. Where does the author usually begin the walk on Fifth Avenue? A. At 59th Street. B. At Rockefeller Center. C. Near St. Patrick’s Cathedral. D. In front of the New York Public Library. 2. What makes the Museum of Modern Art attractive to visitors? A. Its low entrance fee for visitors. B. Its large collection of ancient art. C The chance to have a cup of coffee. D. The clean layout and diverse artworks. 3. Why does the author think Lincoln Center always feels like an event? A. It is surrounded by famous shops. B. It offers a lot of cultural activities. C. It is close to the Flatiron Building. D. It has a fountain working all the time. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，介绍了纽约市最受欢迎的几个景点，包括第五大道、熨斗大厦、现代艺术博物馆和林肯中心，描述了每个景点的特色和游览亮点。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Fifth Avenue”部分第二句“I usually start around 59th Street, and head downtown towards the New York Public Library.(我通常从59街附近开始，然后朝市中心方向走向纽约公共图书馆)”可知，作者在第五大道的步行起点是59街，故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Museum of Modern Art”部分最后一句“The layout is clean, with enough variety to keep teens, art lovers and first-time visitors all engaged.(博物馆布局整洁，展品丰富多样，足以让青少年、艺术爱好者和初次参观者都保持兴趣)”可知，该博物馆吸引游客的原因是整洁的布局和多样的艺术品，故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Lincoln Center”部分第二句“I’ve come here for ballet, opera and live concerts.(我来这里看过芭蕾舞、歌剧和现场音乐会)”可知，作者在林肯中心看过芭蕾舞、歌剧和现场音乐会，可推理出作者认为这里 “总是像一个活动场所”是因为这里提供许多文化活动，故选B项。 One of my earliest memories is of my father sitting me down at our kitchen table with canvases paints, and brushes. He taught me how to blend colors and use different materials. Whenever we felt inspired, we set out all our materials and painted what our hearts desired. My father grew up in a small village in the Dominican Republic. Despite not having many materials available, he created art with whatever he had. My father saved his money to buy paints and colored pencils to draw on the walls around his home. When he was 15, he arrived in America alone and stayed with his aunt in Florida for a while before finishing high school in New York with another aunt. He studied very hard. Eventually, my father was able to obtain his citizenship. As I got older, he continued to give me lessons, teaching me different brush strokes and how to take care of my art supplies. He taught me to find beauty in everything and everyone around me. I grew to love drawing people, as I could highlight the physical features that make everyone unique and beautiful. It wasn’t until I began looking carefully into my father’s paintings and the work of popular artists on Instagram that I started to be more critical of my work. I started to worry that I could never live up to my father’s talent. My simple, two-dimensional (2D) drawings fell flat compared to his realistic landscapes. Going through my sketchbooks and portfolios, I found fault in all my drawings. Art was my favorite thing in the world but I started to believe I wasn’t good at it. Instead of working toward improving, I decided to give up drawing. My father noticed that I had been drawing and painting less and told me, “Mia, you should audition for the school. I wish I’d had an opportunity to study art like this when I was a kid.” My father’s bravery and strength are things that I desire to have. So over the next few months, I worked on my portfolio. Looking back at my pictures, I can see how much I have improved since then. The school must have seen potential in my drawings because I got in! It was eye-opening to attend a college that specializes in the arts. I learned to embrace my individuality and my talent. I have become more open about sharing my artworks and receiving constructive criticism, which raises my self-belief in my art. 4. Why does the author introduce her father’s experience in paragraph 2? A. To prove that art is a way to fight poverty. B. To contrast her life with the difficulties her father experienced. C. To criticize the lack of educational chances in rural areas. D. To illustrate the roots of her father’s influence on her. 5. What do the underlined words “fell flat” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Outperformed other works. B. Lacked visual appeal. C. Had complex structures. D. Looked extremely realistic. 6. What kind of person is the author’s father? A. Brave and carefree. B. Ambitious but dependent. C. Hardworking and supportive. D. Creative but stubborn. 7. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Talent guarantees admission to art programs. B. Progress can be achieved through trial and error. C. Art is about following established rules. D. Confidence comes from accepting imperfection. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者从小受父亲的影响开始学习绘画，中间因觉得自己无法与父亲的天赋相比而一度放弃，但在父亲的鼓励下重新找回自信，最终被艺术学校录取并学会接受自己的独特性和才能的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“My father grew up in a small village in the Dominican Republic. Despite not having many materials available, he created art with whatever he had. My father saved his money to buy paints and colored pencils to draw on the walls around his home. When he was 15, he arrived in America alone and stayed with his aunt in Florida for a while before finishing high school in New York with another aunt. He studied very hard. Eventually, my father was able to obtain his citizenship.(我的父亲在多米尼加共和国的一个小村庄长大。尽管没有很多材料可用，他还是用他所有的东西创作艺术。我父亲攒钱买颜料和彩色铅笔，在家里的墙上画画。15岁时，他独自来到美国，先在佛罗里达州的姨妈家住了一段时间，然后在纽约和另一位阿姨一起完成了高中学业。他学习非常努力。最终，我父亲获得了公民身份。)”可知，这段话主要描述了作者父亲的成长经历和他在艺术方面的努力，作者介绍她父亲的经历，主要是为了展示父亲的艺术热情和坚持，以及这些特质是如何影响她自己的艺术道路的，即说明她父亲对她影响的根源。故选D。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“compared to his realistic landscapes(与他的现实主义风景画相比)”及“Going through my sketchbooks and portfolios, I found fault in all my drawings. Art was my favorite thing in the world but I started to believe I wasn’t good at it.(翻阅我的素描本和作品集，我发现我所有的画都有问题。艺术是我在这个世界上最喜欢的东西，但我开始相信我不擅长它。)”可推测出，作者认为自己的素描和作品不如父亲的风景画，并开始怀疑自己的能力，即，作者认为自己的画缺乏视觉吸引力，所以“fell flat”的意思是“缺乏视觉吸引力”。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“He studied very hard. Eventually, my father was able to obtain his citizenship.(他学习非常努力。最终，我的父亲获得了公民身份。)”可知，作者的父亲勤奋；根据最后一段“My father noticed that I had been drawing and painting less and told me, “Mia, you should audition for the school. I wish I’d had an opportunity to study art like this when I was a kid”.(我父亲注意到我画画越来越少，就对我说：“米娅，你应该去参加学校的试镜。我真希望我小时候能有机会这样学习艺术。”)”可知，作者的父亲支持作者追求自己的艺术梦想。由此可知，作者的父亲是一个勤奋且支持作者的人。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I learned to embrace my individuality and my talent. I have become more open about sharing my artworks and receiving constructive criticism, which raises my self-belief in my art.(我学会了接受自己的独特性和才能。我变得更加开放，愿意分享我的作品并接受建设性的批评，这增强了我对自己艺术的信心。)”可知，作者从自己的经历中学到了自信来自于接受自己的不完美，并勇于展示和分享自己的作品，同时接受他人的反馈。故选D。 The intersection of art and technology has always fascinated humanity. Nowhere is this more evident than in the world of poetry, where artificial intelligence (AI) is starting to make significant steps. AI poets are computer programs designed to generate poems, modeled after the style, rhythm, and even some emotional aspects of human works. AI has the ability to analyze vast databases of existing poems, identifying patterns in language, rhyme structures. Using machine-learning patterns, some AI poets can generate new lines of poetry. However, a fundamental question remains: can AI-generated poetry truly replace the creative wisdom of human-made poetry? Human poets draw on a lifetime of experiences, emotions, and cultural contexts to create their works. They use language not just as a means of communication but as a way to express the indescribable. In contrast, AI operates based on data and pattern. While it can produce technically perfect poems, it lacks the lived experiences and subjective feelings that give human poetry its quality of being true. Poetry critics often point out that the best poems are those that resonate (共鸣) with readers, challenging their perspectives and bringing strong feelings. AI-generated poems, despite their technical complexity, often fail to achieve this emotional reflection. For instance, a human poem about love may capture the pain and joy of romantic relationships while an AI-generated poem on the same topic may seem lacking individual personality and imagination. Supporters of AI poets claim that it can popularize the art form, making poetry creation accessible to anyone with a computer. AI could inspire a new generation of poets. Additionally, AI can introduce novel combinations of words and ideas, expanding the boundaries of what is considered poetry. As the debate continues, the AI in poetry forces us to re-evaluate our understanding of creativity, art, and the human experience and challenges us to consider what makes a poem truly great. 8. What is the primary function of AI poets according to the passage? A. To boost human poets’ creativity. B. To teach people how to write poetry. C. To analyze problems of existing poems. D. To create poems based on human poetry. 9. What is a major limitation of AI-generated poetry compared to human poetry? A It cannot identify patterns in language. B. It cannot reach the real emotional depth. C. It cannot produce technically perfect poems. D. It cannot generate poems with correct rhymes. 10. What is the potential benefit of AI poets? A. It can analyze traditional poetry. B. It can ensure the quality of poetry. C. It can help more people create poetry. D. It can quickly evaluate human poetry. 11. What is the author’s overall attitude toward AI poets? A. Fairly objective. B. Entirely positive. C. Quite negative. D. Highly critical. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人工智能（AI）在诗歌创作领域的应用，以及AI诗歌与人类诗歌的对比和AI诗歌的潜在益处。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“AI poets are computer programs designed to generate poems, modeled after the style, rhythm, and even some emotional aspects of human works.(AI诗人是计算机程序，旨在模仿人类作品的风格、节奏甚至某些情感方面来创作诗歌)”可知，AI诗人的主要功能是根据人类诗歌创作诗歌。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“While it can produce technically perfect poems, it lacks the lived experiences and subjective feelings that give human poetry its quality of being true.(虽然它能创作出技术上完美的诗歌，但它缺乏人类诗歌所具有的真实品质的生活经验和主观感受)”以及第四段中“AI-generated poems, despite their technical complexity, often fail to achieve this emotional reflection.(尽管AI生成的诗歌在技术上很复杂，但往往无法达到这种情感反映)”可知，与人类诗歌相比，AI生成的诗歌的一个主要局限性是它无法达到真正的情感深度。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Supporters of AI poets claim that it can popularize the art form, making poetry creation accessible to anyone with a computer.(AI诗人的支持者声称，它可以普及这种艺术形式，让任何有电脑的人都能创作诗歌。)”可知，AI诗人的潜在益处是它可以帮助更多的人创作诗歌。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，文章介绍了AI诗人的主要功能，与人类诗歌相比AI生成的诗歌的局限性，AI诗人的潜在益处等，作者对AI诗人的态度是相当客观的。故选A。 A new study warns that extreme temperatures, mainly heat, could cause up to 2.3 million deaths in Europe by 2100 if nations fail to reduce carbon emissions (碳排放) and adapt to hotter climates. While cold weather currently causes more deaths in Europe, researchers from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine predict heat-related deaths will rise sharply as global warming speeds up. Using climate models and data from 854 cities, the study finds that as it warms, cold-related deaths decline slowly, but heat deaths rise rapidly. Southern Europe — including Italy, Spain and Greece — faces the highest risks. In contrast, Scandinavia and the UK may see fewer temperature-related deaths due to milder winters. However, even with strong emission cuts and improved adaptation efforts, overall temperature-related deaths will still increase as the planet warms. The Mediterranean region, described as a “climate hotspot”, is warming faster than other areas. Malta, for example, could see heat deaths rise by 269 per 100, 000 people by 2100, while Ireland’s rate might drop slightly. Wealthier Western European countries are in a better situation to adapt than Eastern Europe. Recent heatwaves have already caused thousands of deaths in Europe, such as the 2003 event that killed around 70, 000. Major southern cities like Barcelona, Rome and Naples could face hundreds of thousands of additional deaths this century. Without urgent action, the study estimates over 5. 8 million heat-related deaths linked to climate change, though colder regions might see 3.5 million fewer cold-related deaths. Experts emphasize the need for adaptation strategies, such as air conditioning, green spaces and cooling centers, especially in aging populations and older cities with limited facilities. Southern Europe’s combination of extreme heat, older housing and low air conditioning use makes it highly endangered. “Temperatures in cities like Rome already reach dangerous levels,” says Dr. Courtney Howard, a climate health expert. “This poses severe risks for older adults and those without cooling options.” The study highlights the urgent need for global emission reductions and local climate planning to protect communities from rising heat threats. 12. What can be learned about the changes in temperature-related deaths in Europe? A. Both types of deaths increase equally. B. Cold deaths will grow considerably by 2100. C. Cold-related deaths disappear completely. D. Heat deaths rise faster than the decline in cold deaths. 13. What makes Eastern Europe less adaptable than Western Europe to rising heat? A. Warmer climate. B. Limited financial resources. C. Aging populations. D. Relaxed emission policies. 14. What does the reference to the 2003 heatwave illustrate? A. Benefits of green spaces. B. Success of cooling centers. C. Deadly impact of extreme heat. D. Historic decrease in cold deaths. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Air Conditioning Can Save Scandinavia B. Southern Europe’s Serious Housing Crisis C. Climate Change Threatens Millions in Europe D. Urban Heat Islands and Their Policy Solutions 【答案】12 D 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了气候变化导致欧洲高温死亡人数激增，威胁数百万人生命。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“the study finds that as it warms, cold-related deaths decline slowly, but heat deaths rise rapidly.(研究发现，随着气候变暖，与寒冷相关的死亡人数下降缓慢，但与高温相关的死亡人数迅速上升)”可知，与高温相关的死亡上升速度快于与寒冷相关的死亡下降速度。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Wealthier Western European countries are in a better situation to adapt than Eastern Europe.(富裕的西欧国家比东欧国家更有能力适应气候变化)”可推知，东欧在适应不断升高的气温方面适应性不如西欧，是因为东欧国家经济实力不如西欧国家，即东欧国家财政资源有限。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Recent heatwaves have already caused thousands of deaths in Europe, such as the 2003 event that killed around 70, 000.(最近的热浪已经在欧洲造成了数千人死亡，例如2003年的热浪造成了约7万人死亡)”可知，此处以2003年的热浪为例，是为了说明极端高温的致命影响。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文及第一段“A new study warns that extreme temperatures, mainly heat, could cause up to 2.3 million deaths in Europe by 2100 if nations fail to reduce carbon emissions and adapt to hotter climates.(一项新的研究警告说，如果各国不能减少碳排放并适应更热的气候，到2100年，极端高温可能会导致欧洲多达230万人死亡)”可知，本文主要介绍了气候变化导致欧洲高温死亡人数激增，威胁数百万人生命，C选项“气候变化威胁着数百万欧洲人”适合作为文章的标题。故选C。 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。 Quick stress management techniques for immediate relief How do you manage stress at work?

Her worn coat offered little warmth, and the weight of her mother’s medical bills pressed heavily on her mind. Turning a corner, she noticed an elderly man struggling to lift a fallen delivery box near a grocery store. Without hesitation, she rushed to help. “Thank you, young lady,” the man wheezed, adjusting his glasses. His hands trembled slightly, and Lily spotted a fresh cut on his palm. “You’re hurt!” she exclaimed, pulling a handkerchief from her bag. As she bandaged his hand, the man introduced himself as Mr. Thompson, the owner of the store. “Wait here,” he said, disappearing inside. He returned with a thermos of hot chocolate and a thick scarf. “For your kindness,” he insisted, memories of being helped flashing through his mind. Touched, Lily accepted the gifts, her eyes stinging. While reorganizing the scarf, she discovered a handwritten note tucked in its folds: “To the girl with a heart of gold — check the bookstore’s bulletin board tomorrow.” Puzzled, she arrived early the next morning to find a job offer posted: “Wanted: Assistant Manager. Priority is given to those who’ve shown exceptional sympathy.” Her hands shook as she entered Mr. Thompson’s office. He smiled warmly, “The position is yours if you want it.” Overwhelmed, Lily whispered, “But why me?” 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。 Mr. Thompson leaned forward, lost in his memory. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One day in the bookstore, Lily saw a poor boy who couldn’t afford books. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Mr. Thompson leaned forward, lost in his memory. “Thirty years ago,” he began softly, “I was a struggling student like you, shivering outside this very store. An old lady gave me a job and a warm meal.” His eyes glistened. “She taught me that kindness is the only investment that never fails. When I saw you helping without hesitation, I recognized that same spirit.” Lily listened, understanding dawning. This wasn’t just a job offer — it was the passing of a torch. Mr. Thompson added, “Your compassion is rarer than any qualification.” One day in the bookstore, Lily saw a poor boy who couldn’t afford books. His fingers lingered on a worn science textbook, eyes filled with longing. Remembering her own struggles, Lily quietly purchased it with her employee discount. When she handed him the book, his astonished smile mirrored hers when she’d received Mr. Thompson’s scarf. Later, she found a thank-you note tucked in the register: “You’re my miracle.” Lily smiled — this chain of kindness, started by a stranger’s hot chocolate, would continue growing. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了12月一个寒冷的晚上，17岁的莉莉下班路上帮助了一个老人搬箱子。事后得知老人是商店老板，老板最后提供了一份工作给她，而莉莉也将这份善良传递给了一个买不起书的男孩。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“汤普森先生身体前倾，沉浸在回忆中。”可知，第一段可描写汤普森先生说明雇佣莉莉的原因。 ②由第二段首句内容“一天，莉莉在书店里看到一个穷男孩，他买不起书。”可知，第二段可描写莉莉传递善良给男孩，将善举扩大。 2.续写线索：汤普森先生说明理由——莉莉接受工作——莉莉帮助男孩——男孩惊讶——善举扩大 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看到：see/spot ②发现：find/discover ③购买：purchase/buy 情绪类 ①渴望：longing/eagerness ②同情：compassion/sympathy 【点睛】[高分句型1] When I saw you helping without hesitation, I recognized that same spirit.(运用了when引导时间状语从句) [高分句型2] She taught me that kindness is the only investment that never fails.(运用了that引导宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二年级质量检测四 英语学科 全卷满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 非选择题的作答：用签字笔直接写在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4. 考试结束后，请将本试题卷和答题卡一并上交。 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。 1.

I’ve lived here long enough to appreciate famous landmarks! Fifth Avenue Fifth Avenue is one of the most famous streets in New York, and walking it always feels like you’re in a movie. I usually start around 59th Street, and head downtown towards the New York Public Library. Along the way, you pass major shopping landmarks like Saks, and the Apple Store, and some iconic spots like St. Patrick’s Cathedral and Rockefeller Center. Flatiron Building The Flatiron Building is one of NYC’s most iconic landmarks, and even though it’s currently under restoration, it still draws crowds every day. The shape is instantly recognizable, and I’ve never walked past it without seeing someone taking a photo. I usually grab a coffee from one of the nearby cafes and take a walk around the park to admire the view. Museum of Modern Art The Museum of Modern Art is one of the most famous museums in NYC. I still remember the first time I stood in front of Van Gogh’s Starry Night-it’s one of those moments you don’t forget. The museum is packed with modern and contemporary art from icons like Picasso, and Rothko. The layout is clean, with enough variety to keep teens, art lovers and first-time visitors all engaged. Lincoln Center Lincoln Center is one of the most iconic cultural landmarks in NYC, and it always feels like an event just to be there. I’ve come here for ballet, opera and live concerts. The architecture alone is worth seeing, especially at night when the plaza is shining and the fountain is lit. Even if you’re not catching a performance, you can take a guided tour, explore the nearby public art, or just sit by the fountain. 1. Where does the author usually begin the walk on Fifth Avenue? A. At 59th Street. B. At Rockefeller Center. C. Near St. Patrick’s Cathedral. D. In front of the New York Public Library. 2. What makes the Museum of Modern Art attractive to visitors? A. Its low entrance fee for visitors. B. Its large collection of ancient art. C. The chance to have a cup of coffee. D. The clean layout and diverse artworks. 3. Why does the author think Lincoln Center always feels like an event? A. It is surrounded by famous shops. B. It offers a lot of cultural activities. C. It is close to the Flatiron Building. D. It has a fountain working all the time. One of my earliest memories is of my father sitting me down at our kitchen table with canvases, paints, and brushes. He taught me how to blend colors and use different materials. Whenever we felt inspired, we set out all our materials and painted what our hearts desired. My father grew up in a small village in the Dominican Republic. Despite not having many materials available, he created art with whatever he had. My father saved his money to buy paints and colored pencils to draw on the walls around his home. When he was 15, he arrived in America alone and stayed with his aunt in Florida for a while before finishing high school in New York with another aunt. He studied very hard. Eventually, my father was able to obtain his citizenship. As I got older, he continued to give me lessons, teaching me different brush strokes and how to take care of my art supplies. He taught me to find beauty in everything and everyone around me. I grew to love drawing people, as I could highlight the physical features that make everyone unique and beautiful. It wasn’t until I began looking carefully into my father’s paintings and the work of popular artists on Instagram that I started to be more critical of my work. I started to worry that I could never live up to my father’s talent. My simple, two-dimensional (2D) drawings fell flat compared to his realistic landscapes. Going through my sketchbooks and portfolios, I found fault in all my drawings. Art was my favorite thing in the world but I started to believe I wasn’t good at it. Instead of working toward improving, I decided to give up drawing. My father noticed that I had been drawing and painting less and told me, “Mia, you should audition for the school. I wish I’d had an opportunity to study art like this when I was a kid.” My father’s bravery and strength are things that I desire to have. So over the next few months, I worked on my portfolio. Looking back at my pictures, I can see how much I have improved since then. The school must have seen potential in my drawings because I got in! It was eye-opening to attend a college that specializes in the arts. I learned to embrace my individuality and my talent. I have become more open about sharing my artworks and receiving constructive criticism, which raises my self-belief in my art. 4. Why does the author introduce her father’s experience in paragraph 2? A. To prove that art is a way to fight poverty. B. To contrast her life with the difficulties her father experienced. C. To criticize the lack of educational chances in rural areas. D. To illustrate the roots of her father’s influence on her. 5. What do the underlined words “fell flat” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Outperformed other works. B. Lacked visual appeal. C. Had complex structures. D. Looked extremely realistic. 6. What kind of person is the author’s father? A. Brave and carefree. B. Ambitious but dependent. C. Hardworking and supportive. D. Creative but stubborn. 7. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A Talent guarantees admission to art programs. B. Progress can be achieved through trial and error. C. Art is about following established rules. D. Confidence comes from accepting imperfection. The intersection of art and technology has always fascinated humanity. Nowhere is this more evident than in the world of poetry, where artificial intelligence (AI) is starting to make significant steps. AI poets are computer programs designed to generate poems, modeled after the style, rhythm, and even some emotional aspects of human works. AI has the ability to analyze vast databases of existing poems, identifying patterns in language, rhyme structures. Using machine-learning patterns, some AI poets can generate new lines of poetry. However, a fundamental question remains: can AI-generated poetry truly replace the creative wisdom of human-made poetry? Human poets draw on a lifetime of experiences, emotions, and cultural contexts to create their works. They use language not just as a means of communication but as a way to express the indescribable. In contrast, AI operates based on data and pattern. While it can produce technically perfect poems, it lacks the lived experiences and subjective feelings that give human poetry its quality of being true. Poetry critics often point out that the best poems are those that resonate (共鸣) with readers, challenging their perspectives and bringing strong feelings. AI-generated poems, despite their technical complexity, often fail to achieve this emotional reflection. For instance, a human poem about love may capture the pain and joy of romantic relationships while an AI-generated poem on the same topic may seem lacking individual personality and imagination. Supporters of AI poets claim that it can popularize the art form, making poetry creation accessible to anyone with a computer. AI could inspire a new generation of poets. Additionally, AI can introduce novel combinations of words and ideas, expanding the boundaries of what is considered poetry. As the debate continues, the AI in poetry forces us to re-evaluate our understanding of creativity, art, and the human experience and challenges us to consider what makes a poem truly great. 8. What is the primary function of AI poets according to the passage? A. To boost human poets’ creativity. B. To teach people how to write poetry. C. To analyze problems of existing poems. D. To create poems based on human poetry. 9. What is a major limitation of AI-generated poetry compared to human poetry? A. It cannot identify patterns in language. B. It cannot reach the real emotional depth. C. It cannot produce technically perfect poems. D. It cannot generate poems with correct rhymes. 10. What is the potential benefit of AI poets? A. It can analyze traditional poetry. B. It can ensure the quality of poetry. C. It can help more people create poetry. D. It can quickly evaluate human poetry. 11. What is the author’s overall attitude toward AI poets? A. Fairly objective. B. Entirely positive. C. Quite negative. D. Highly critical. A new study warns that extreme temperatures, mainly heat, could cause up to 2.3 million deaths in Europe by 2100 if nations fail to reduce carbon emissions (碳排放) and adapt to hotter climates. While cold weather currently causes more deaths in Europe, researchers from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine predict heat-related deaths will rise sharply as global warming speeds up. Using climate models and data from 854 cities, the study finds that as it warms, cold-related deaths decline slowly, but heat deaths rise rapidly. Southern Europe — including Italy, Spain and Greece — faces the highest risks. In contrast, Scandinavia and the UK may see fewer temperature-related deaths due to milder winters. However, even with strong emission cuts and improved adaptation efforts, overall temperature-related deaths will still increase as the planet warms. The Mediterranean region, described as a “climate hotspot”, is warming faster than other areas. Malta, for example, could see heat deaths rise by 269 per 100, 000 people by 2100, while Ireland’s rate might drop slightly. Wealthier Western European countries are in a better situation to adapt than Eastern Europe. Recent heatwaves have already caused thousands of deaths in Europe, such as the 2003 event that killed around 70, 000. Major southern cities like Barcelona, Rome and Naples could face hundreds of thousands of additional deaths this century. Without urgent action, the study estimates over 5. 8 million heat-related deaths linked to climate change, though colder regions might see 3.5 million fewer cold-related deaths. Experts emphasize the need for adaptation strategies, such as air conditioning, green spaces and cooling centers, especially in aging populations and older cities with limited facilities. Southern Europe’s combination of extreme heat, older housing and low air conditioning use makes it highly endangered. “Temperatures in cities like Rome already reach dangerous levels,” says Dr. Courtney Howard, a climate health expert. “This poses severe risks for older adults and those without cooling options.” The study highlights the urgent need for global emission reductions and local climate planning to protect communities from rising heat threats. 12.
