B At my first lesson in Chinese calligraphy, my teacher told me plainly: “Now I will teach you how to write your name. And to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. I was curious. Growing up in Singapore, I had an unusual relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”. When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and abandoned my Chinese name. When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought. In calligraphy, the idea is to copy the old masters’ techniques, thereby refining your own. Every week, though, my teacher would give uncomfortably on-the-nose assessments of my person. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Have confidence. Try to produce a bold stroke(笔画).” For years, I had prided myself on presenting an image of confidence, but my writing betrayed me. I was trying to make sense of this practice. You must visualize the word as it is to be written and leave a trace of yourself in it. As a bodily practice, calligraphy could go beyond its own cultural restrictions. Could it help me go beyond mine? My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is two-dimensional, it contains multitudes, conveying the force you’ve applied, the energy of your grip, the arch of your spine.” I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. Now I have sensed that the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully. During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.” 24. What did the author initially think of her name “Chen Yiwen”? A. It was lucky so she gladly accepted it. B. She felt proud of its symbolic meaning. C. She understood the intention but still disliked it. D. Its strange pronunciation made her embarrassed. 25. The author decided to learn calligraphy to ______. A. pick up a new hobby B. reconnect with her origin C. gain insights into a new culture D. fit in with local community 26. From the teacher’s words, the author learns that calligraphy ______. A. reflects the creator’s spirits B. comes from creative energy C. highlights the design of strokes D. depends on continuous practice 27. What does the author intend to tell us? A. Appreciate what our culture offers. B. Find beauty from your inner self. C. A great teacher leads you to truth. D. We are the sum of what we create. C Creativity is a product of the human mind. But why are some people more creative than others? Having a unique brain has been proposed as one possibility. Take Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s musical creativity. It has been suggested that he had Tourette’s syndrome a brain condition linked to a range of symptoms, which could have played a role. Other proposals link creativity to intelligence or even to the use of certain drugs. In the Creative Brain: Myths and Truths, scientist Anna Abraham examines these ideas and four more, describing them as myths (谬见) and each is discussed in a chapter. But rather than fully debunk them, Abraham’s precondition is that they all contain a truth. She researches into how these beliefs developed and spread — and why they are so hard to desert. Her focus is on how misinformation is often related to conflicting results in the scientific evidence that is supposed to back them up. Take the common idea that the brain’s right hemisphere (脑半球) is associated with creativity. Both behavioral and brain-based studies have explored this, but findings are hard to compare because the ways of measuring different aspects, such as the level of creativity, vary greatly. This means we can find evidence supporting both the right and left hemispheres being dominant in creative activities, as well as the joint involvement of the two. Such problems, says Abraham, originate in the fact that creativity typically involves many elements but the focus is often drawn to just one, the imagination needed to make something new. Other aspects — such as the drive to create, the hard work involved and the ability to produce something that sympathizes with an audience — are also crucial. Many explanations, she says, treat creativity too simplistically: for example, taking certain drugs can make someone more open, and thus better able to think creatively, but may not affect their motivation. Abraham provides a good summarization of the relationship between creativity and the brain, covering a lot of ground while doing so. She encourages readers to think more deeply about brain-based creativity theories, even if they seem backed up by evidence. How creativity originates in the brain is complex and probably can’t be explained by a simple narrative. Perhaps we need a new approach. 28. What does the word “debunk” underlined in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Charge. B. Deny. C. Approve. D. Clarify. 29. What can we learn about creativity from the passage? A. It helps to sympathize with an audience. B. It is dominated by the brain’s right hemisphere. C. It is a complex process involving many factors. D. It can be enhanced by hard work and motivation. 30. As for brain-based creativity theories, Abraham is ________. A. appreciative B. disapproving C. objective D. unconcerned 31. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explore the myths and truths about creativity and the brain. B. To prove that creativity is greatly linked with a unique brain. C. To argue that creativity is mainly determined by intelligence. D. To encourage the use of drugs to partly enhance creativity. D The 2024 Nobel Prizes honored both works relating to artificial intelligence and efforts by the group Nihon Hidankyo to end the nuclear (核) war. It was a striking juxtaposition. In the 20th century, the Nobel Committees awarded prizes in physics and chemistry for discoveries uncovering the structure of atoms, which enabled the development and subsequent use of nuclear weapons. Decades later, the Nobel committees awarded this year’s Peace Prize for work trying to counteract one-way nuclear science ended up being used. There are parallels between the development of nuclear weapons from basic physics research, and the risks posed by applications of AI emerging from work that began as fundamental research in computer science, including misinformation, job displacement, and supervision. Will the Nobel Committees be awarding a Peace Prize in the next century to the people cleaning up the mess AI scientists leave behind? About 80 years ago, hundreds of top scientists joined the Manhattan Project in a race to build an atomic weapon before the Nazis did. Yet after Germany surrendered, the project continued and only one scientist, Joseph Rotblat, left the project. After the war he returned to physics, focusing on medical uses of radiation, and became a leader in the nuclear antiproliferation (不扩散) movement. Looking back, Rotblat explained “You get yourself involved in a certain way and forget you are a human being. It becomes an addiction, and you just go on for the sake of producing a gadget without thinking about the consequences. And then, having done this, you find some justification for having produced it. Not the other way around.” Though written decades ago, these words are a frighteningly accurate description of the widespread spirit in AI research today. Now, as then, there are thoughtful, grounded individuals who stand out in the development of AI. Ed Newton-Rex resigned last year from his position leading the music team at Stability AI, over the company’s insistence on creating generative AI models trained on copyrighted data without paying for that use. In 2024 Suchir Balaji resigned as a researcher at OpenAI over similar concerns. When we look back on the nuclear era, we send a signal to scientists today about what we value. When the Nobel Prize Committees choose which people among those working on AI to award, they set a powerful incentive (激励) for the AI researchers of today and tomorrow. It is too late to change the events of the 20th century, but we can hope for better outcomes for AI. We can start by looking past those in machine learning focused on rapid development of capabilities, instead following the lead of those who insist on engaging with the context of their work and who have the capacity not only to evaluate but also respond to changing circumstances. As the nuclear era teaches us, right now is the time to carefully evaluate what applications of scientific discovery and whom among today’s scientists reflect the values not of the world in which we currently live but the one which we hope to inhabit. 32. According to Paragraph 1 and 2, what does the underlined word “juxtaposition” refer to? A. The continuous efforts of the Nobel Committees to promote peace. B. The direct link between AI research and nuclear weapons development. C. The comparison between the positive impacts of AI and nuclear technology. D. The contrast between scientific discoveries and their unintended harmful outcomes. 33. The author quotes Joseph Rotblat mainly to _____________. A. challenge an assumption B. suggest an alternative C. make a comparison D. illustrate a point 34. It is implied in the passage that_____________. A. cooperation among organizations is needed for responsible AI progress B. the Nobel Prize’s recognition is a warning for AI’s future development C. the Nobel Prize should stop awarding Al-related research D. AI researchers have lost control of their own creations 第二节（共5小题; 每小题2分, 共10分） We humans are comparison creatures. ____35____ This quality may have evolved as a means of helping us fit into the social hierarchy (等级) of the cultures we inhabited. Regardless of the reasons, social comparison plays a significant role in how we view and evaluate ourselves, and how we interact with our world. It used to be that our primary reference of comparison was our local communities, primarily neighbors and co-workers. Because we tend to gather around those similar to ourselves in terms of educational level, work income, and shared interests, the range of differences when we compared ourselves to others was fairly small. Unfortunately, with the emergence of the Internet, we can now compare ourselves to literally anyone in the world. ____36____ What had in previous generations been a small gap in our comparisons has now become so large and unattainable. ____37____ When so many people that are easily discoverable on the Internet seem to be so successful. famous, influential and beautiful, given our preference to compare, it is difficult not to have it influence how we view ourselves. Sadly, these comparisons usually result in our feeling inadequate and “less than”. These harmful comparisons also damage our emotional lives. When we feel lacking, we experience a variety of unpleasant and unhealthy emotions. We feel jealousy and envy for what others have and what we lack. ____38____ It’s one thing to realize that you compare yourself to others. It’s another thing to recognize that social comparison is often corrosive (逐步侵蚀的) to you in so many ways psychologically and emotionally. It’s an entirely other thing to stop yourself from comparing yourself to others. ____39____ A. We are constantly measuring ourselves against other people. B. Yet it is possible and it is worth the effort for your mental health. C. Thus, we are now exposed to groups that are quite different from us. D. We believe that there is something wrong with us compared to others. E. We can even feel bitterness and anger at others for the unfairness of it all. F. Comparing ourselves to others has the potential to increase our life experience. G. This new level of comparison has huge implications for our psychological lives. 第三部分语言运用（共三节, 37分） 第一节词汇运用（共10小题; 每小题0.5分, 共5分） 从方框中选择适当的词或短语, 用其正确形式完成下面句子。其中有两项为多余选项。 subjective interactive owe priority sympathy regardless of in conclusion 40. ________, we should always take our tine to make informed decisions. 41.

Bruno, a young boy from a privileged German family, moves to a new house when his father gets a promotion. Their new home is near a-concentration camp (集中营), which Bruno initially knows little about. Curious and lonely, Bruno explores the area and meets Shmuel, a boy of his age who lives on the other side of a barbed-wire fence—a Jewish prisoner. Despite their different backgrounds, the two boys form a secret friendship. This story resonates with young people in several ways. Firstly, it highlights the power of friendship. Bruno and Shmuel’s bond goes beyond the barriers of the harsh (残酷的) world around them, demonstrating that genuine friendship can flourish even in the most unlikely and difficult circumstances. This can teach young readers the value of looking beyond surface differences and finding common ground with others. Secondly, the novel explores the theme of innocence. Bruno’s naive perspective on the world contrasts with the harsh reality of the concentration camp. He is unaware of the true nature of Shmuel’s situation and the war, which can reflect how young people often have an innocent, pure view of the world. This innocence can be a powerful lens through which young readers understand the impact of prejudice and injustice. Additionally, the story illustrates the importance of empathy (共情). As Bruno learns more about Shmuel’s life, he starts to relate to him, despite initially not understanding the gravity of Shmuel’s miserable situations. This development can encourage young readers to develop empathy for others who are in different or difficult situations. Finally, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas provides a historical context that helps young people learn about the horrors of the Holocaust (大屠杀) in a way that is accessible. Through Bruno and Shmuel’s story, readers gain insight into a dark period of history, fostering an understanding of the consequences of hatred and intolerance. Overall, the novel offers important lessons about friendship, innocence, empathy, and historical awareness, making it relevant and impactful for young readers. 50. Who is Shmuel? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 51. What does the power of friendship between Bruno and Shmuel teach young people? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 52. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ▷Bruno lacks empathy for Shmuel even though he learns more about his life and understands the gravity of his miserable situations. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 53. In addition to the value of friendship between Bruno and Shmuel, what do you think is the significance of friendship to you?（In about 40 words） ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第三节 书面表达（20分） 54. 假设你是红星中学高二学生李华。你校将于5月29日举办“读者剧场”活动 (Readers’ Theater)，该活动围绕《穿条纹睡衣的男孩》开展。请你用英语给你的英国好友Jim写一封电子邮件，邀请他同步观看线上直播，内容包括： 1. 活动内容； 2. 活动意义； 3. 观看直播的相关事宜。 参考词汇: 直播 live stream 注意: 1. 词数100词左右； 2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数； Dear Jim, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 牛栏山一中2024-2025学年度第二学期期中考试 英语试卷 2025.5 本试卷共三部分, 满分100分, 考试时长90分钟。 考生务必将答案答在答题卡上, 在试卷上作答无效。 在答题卡上, 选择题用2B铅笔作答, 其他试题用黑色字迹签字笔作答。 第一部分知识运用（共二节, 25分） 第一节完形填空（共10小题; 每题1.5分, 共15分） 阅读下面的短文, 掌握其大意, 然后从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选择最佳选项。 I was 11 when I asked my mum for piano lessons.

And to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. I was curious. Growing up in Singapore, I had an unusual relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”. When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and abandoned my Chinese name. When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought. In calligraphy, the idea is to copy the old masters’ techniques, thereby refining your own. Every week, though, my teacher would give uncomfortably on-the-nose assessments of my person. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Have confidence. Try to produce a bold stroke(笔画).” For years, I had prided myself on presenting an image of confidence, but my writing betrayed me. I was trying to make sense of this practice. You must visualize the word as it is to be written and leave a trace of yourself in it. As a bodily practice, calligraphy could go beyond its own cultural restrictions. Could it help me go beyond mine? My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is two-dimensional, it contains multitudes, conveying the force you’ve applied, the energy of your grip, the arch of your spine.” I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. Now I have sensed that the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully. During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.” 24. What did the author initially think of her name “Chen Yiwen”? A. It was lucky so she gladly accepted it. B. She felt proud of its symbolic meaning. C. She understood the intention but still disliked it. D. Its strange pronunciation made her embarrassed. 25. The author decided to learn calligraphy to ______. A. pick up a new hobby B. reconnect with her origin C. gain insights into a new culture D. fit in with local community 26. From the teacher’s words, the author learns that calligraphy ______. A. reflects the creator’s spirits B. comes from creative energy C. highlights the design of strokes D. depends on continuous practice 27. What does the author intend to tell us? A. Appreciate what our culture offers. B. Find beauty from your inner self. C. A great teacher leads you to truth. D. We are the sum of what we create. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。这篇文章主要讲述了作者学习中国书法的经历和感悟，包括初次接触书法时的情景，名字的由来，在美国放弃中文名，回到香港学习书法的原因，老师对自己的评价，以及通过书法对自身的思考和认识等。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”.( 我的父母是华裔，所以他们请算命先生给我取名字，希望能给我带来最大的好运。于是，我给自己取了一个毫无意义又尴尬的名字：陈薏温，意思大致是“陈旧”、“薏米”、“温暖”)”可知， 作者认为自己的名字“Chen Yi wen”是无意义且令人尴尬的，虽然父母是为了追求最大的运气才取这个名字，但她还是不喜欢。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought.(当我在美国生活了14年后，于2021年搬到香港时，我决定学习书法。为什么不跟我的传统联系一下呢？我想)”可知，作者决定学习书法是为了重新接触自己的文化根源。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.”(在最近的一次课上，老师指着我刚完成的字对我说：“这个字好多了。我能看到你所做的选择，你的计算，你的心流。相信自己。这个词是你的。”他还不如说：“这个字就是你。”)”可推知，从老师的话中，作者了解到书法反映了创作者的精神。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，特别是根据最后一段“During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.”(在最近的一次课上，老师指着我刚完成的字对我说：“这个字好多了。我能看到你所做的选择，你的计算，你的心流。相信自己。这个词是你的。”他还不如说：“这个字就是你。”)”可知，作者最初学习书法是为了 “接触文化遗产（get back in touch with my heritage）”，但过程中逐渐意识到 “what I was really seeking was a return to myself（我真正寻求的是回归自我）”，最终感悟到 “the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully（书法带来的乐趣让我更全面地了解自己）”。老师最后评价她的字 “this word is yours（这个字是你的）”，暗指 “字如其人”，作者通过书法探索自我、发现内在的价值与美好。故选B。 C Creativity is a product of the human mind. But why are some people more creative than others? Having a unique brain has been proposed as one possibility. Take Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s musical creativity. It has been suggested that he had Tourette’s syndrome, a brain condition linked to a range of symptoms, which could have played a role. Other proposals link creativity to intelligence or even to the use of certain drugs. In the Creative Brain: Myths and Truths, scientist Anna Abraham examines these ideas and four more, describing them as myths (谬见) and each is discussed in a chapter. But rather than fully debunk them, Abraham’s precondition is that they all contain a truth. She researches into how these beliefs developed and spread — and why they are so hard to desert. Her focus is on how misinformation is often related to conflicting results in the scientific evidence that is supposed to back them up. Take the common idea that the brain’s right hemisphere (脑半球) is associated with creativity. Both behavioral and brain-based studies have explored this, but findings are hard to compare because the ways of measuring different aspects, such as the level of creativity, vary greatly. This means we can find evidence supporting both the right and left hemispheres being dominant in creative activities, as well as the joint involvement of the two. Such problems, says Abraham, originate in the fact that creativity typically involves many elements but the focus is often drawn to just one, the imagination needed to make something new. Other aspects — such as the drive to create, the hard work involved and the ability to produce something that sympathizes with an audience — are also crucial. Many explanations, she says, treat creativity too simplistically: for example, taking certain drugs can make someone more open, and thus better able to think creatively, but may not affect their motivation. Abraham provides a good summarization of the relationship between creativity and the brain, covering a lot of ground while doing so. She encourages readers to think more deeply about brain-based creativity theories, even if they seem backed up by evidence. How creativity originates in the brain is complex and probably can’t be explained by a simple narrative. Perhaps we need a new approach. 28. What does the word “debunk” underlined in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Charge. B. Deny. C. Approve. D. Clarify. 29 What can we learn about creativity from the passage? A. It helps to sympathize with an audience. B. It is dominated by the brain’s right hemisphere. C. It is a complex process involving many factors. D. It can be enhanced by hard work and motivation. 30. As for brain-based creativity theories, Abraham is ________. A. appreciative B. disapproving C. objective D. unconcerned 31. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explore the myths and truths about creativity and the brain. B. To prove that creativity is greatly linked with a unique brain. C. To argue that creativity is mainly determined by intelligence. D. To encourage the use of drugs to partly enhance creativity. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要通过科学家Anna Abraham的著作《创造性大脑：谬见与真相》探讨了创造力的来源及相关理论，指出这些理论虽不全面但包含部分真理，同时分析了科学证据的复杂性及创造力本质的多因素性。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词前的“In the Creative Brain: Myths and Truths, scientist Anna Abraham examines these ideas and four more, describing them as myths (谬见) and each is discussed in a chapter. (在《创造性大脑：谬见与真相》一书中，科学家安娜・亚伯拉罕审视了这些观点及另外四种观点，将它们统称为 ‘谬见’，并在每一章中对其展开讨论。)”可知，科学家安娜・亚伯拉罕在每一章中对其展开讨论称之为“谬见”的观点，结合“But rather than fully debunk them, Abraham’s precondition is that they all contain a truth.(但亚伯拉罕的前提是这些观点都包含一定真理，而非完全……它们。)”可知，此处阐明的是亚伯拉罕对这些观点的态度，她认为这些观点包含一定的真理，所以并非是完全“否定”他们，由此可知，划线单词的意思与“否定”含义相符。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Such problems, says Abraham, originate in the fact that creativity typically involves many elements but the focus is often drawn to just one, the imagination needed to make something new. Other aspects — such as the drive to create, the hard work involved and the ability to produce something that sympathizes with an audience — are also crucial. (亚伯拉罕指出，这类问题的根源在于：创造力通常涉及诸多要素，但人们往往只关注其中一个——创造新事物所需的想象力。而其他方面——例如创作的内驱力、所投入的努力，以及产出能引起受众共鸣的作品的能力 —— 同样至关重要。)”可知，亚伯拉罕认为创造力通常涉及诸多要素，不仅仅是创造新事物需要的想象力，其他方面同样至关重要；由此可知，创造力是一个涉及诸多因素的复杂过程。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But rather than fully debunk them, Abraham’s precondition is that they all contain a truth. (但亚伯拉罕并非完全否定这些观点，她的前提是：每个谬见都包含一定的真相。)”及最后一段“She encourages readers to think more deeply about brain-based creativity theories, even if they seem backed up by evidence.(她鼓励读者更深入地思考基于大脑的创造力理论，即使这些理论似乎有证据支持。)”可推知，亚伯拉罕对这些理论持客观态度，既承认其合理之处，也指出其局限性。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第三段中的“In the Creative Brain: Myths and Truths, scientist Anna Abraham examines these ideas and four more, describing them as myths and each is discussed in a chapter.(在《创造性大脑：谬见与真相》中，科学家安娜·亚伯拉罕研究了这些观点和另外四个观点，将它们描述为谬见，并在每一章中进行讨论。)”可知，文章主要目的是探讨关于创造力与大脑的常见谬见与真相。故选A项。 D The 2024 Nobel Prizes honored both works relating to artificial intelligence and efforts by the group Nihon Hidankyo to end the nuclear (核) war. It was a striking juxtaposition. In the 20th century, the Nobel Committees awarded prizes in physics and chemistry for discoveries uncovering the structure of atoms, which enabled the development and subsequent use of nuclear weapons. Decades later, the Nobel committees awarded this year’s Peace Prize for work trying to counteract one-way nuclear science ended up being used. There are parallels between the development of nuclear weapons from basic physics research, and the risks posed by applications of AI emerging from work that began as fundamental research in computer science, including misinformation, job displacement, and supervision. Will the Nobel Committees be awarding a Peace Prize in the next century to the people cleaning up the mess AI scientists leave behind? About 80 years ago, hundreds of top scientists joined the Manhattan Project in a race to build an atomic weapon before the Nazis did. Yet after Germany surrendered, the project continued and only one scientist, Joseph Rotblat, left the project. After the war he returned to physics, focusing on medical uses of radiation, and became a leader in the nuclear antiproliferation (不扩散) movement. Looking back, Rotblat explained “You get yourself involved in a certain way and forget you are a human being. It becomes an addiction, and you just go on for the sake of producing a gadget without thinking about the consequences. And then, having done this, you find some justification for having produced it. Not the other way around.” Though written decades ago, these words are a frighteningly accurate description of the widespread spirit in AI research today. Now, as then, there are thoughtful, grounded individuals who stand out in the development of AI. Ed Newton-Rex resigned last year from his position leading the music team at Stability AI, over the company’s insistence on creating generative AI models trained on copyrighted data without paying for that use. In 2024 Suchir Balaji resigned as a researcher at OpenAI over similar concerns. When we look back on the nuclear era, we send a signal to scientists today about what we value. When the Nobel Prize Committees choose which people among those working on AI to award, they set a powerful incentive (激励) for the AI researchers of today and tomorrow. It is too late to change the events of the 20th century but we can hope for better outcomes for AI. We can start by looking past those in machine learning focused on rapid development of capabilities, instead following the lead of those who insist on engaging with the context of their work and who have the capacity not only to evaluate but also respond to changing circumstances. As the nuclear era teaches us, right now is the time to carefully evaluate what applications of scientific discovery and whom among today’s scientists reflect the values not of the world in which we currently live but the one which we hope to inhabit. 32. According to Paragraph 1 and 2, what does the underlined word “juxtaposition” refer to? A. The continuous efforts of the Nobel Committees to promote peace. B. The direct link between AI research and nuclear weapons development. C. The comparison between the positive impacts of AI and nuclear technology. D. The contrast between scientific discoveries and their unintended harmful outcomes. 33. The author quotes Joseph Rotblat mainly to _____________. A. challenge an assumption B. suggest an alternative C. make a comparison D. illustrate a point 34. It is implied in the passage that_____________. A. cooperation among organizations is needed for responsible AI progress B. the Nobel Prize’s recognition is a warning for AI’s future development C. the Nobel Prize should stop awarding Al-related research D. AI researchers have lost control of their own creations 【答案】32. D 33. D 34. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述2024年诺贝尔奖同时表彰人工智能（AI）相关工作和反核战争组织Nihon Hidankyo的努力，通过比较核武器发展的历史教训与AI研究的现状，强调科学发现可能带来意外危害的伦理问题，并呼吁在AI发展中重视负责任的研究。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“The 2024 Nobel Prizes honored both works relating to artificial intelligence and efforts by the group Nihon Hidankyo to end the nuclear (核) war.(2024 年的诺贝尔奖表彰了与人工智能相关的两项成果，以及日本和平促进会为结束核战争所做出的努力)”以及第二段“Decades later, the Nobel committees awarded this year’s Peace Prize for work trying to counteract one-way nuclear science ended up being used.(数十年后，诺贝尔委员会授予了今年的和平奖，以表彰那些致力于对抗核科学单向发展所带来的危害的那些人)”可知，“juxtaposition”指的是诺贝尔奖表彰的这两个方面形成的对比：科学发现（如AI和核物理）与其意外有害后果（如核战争）之间的反差，而非直接比较技术本身。故划线词指的是“科学发现与其意外产生的不良后果之间的对比”。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“You get yourself involved in a certain way and forget you are a human being. It becomes an addiction, and you just go on for the sake of producing a gadget without thinking about the consequences. And then, having done this, you find some justification for having produced it. Not the other way around.(你会以某种方式让自己陷入其中，从而忘记了自己还是一个正常的人。这会变成一种瘾，你只是为了制造出一个产品而一味地坚持下去，根本不考虑其后果。然后，做完这一切后，你会为自己的行为找些借口。而不是反过来，先找理由再去做这件事)”以及第五段“Though written decades ago, these words are a frighteningly accurate description of the widespread spirit in AI research today.(尽管这些话是几十年前写下的，但它们却极其准确地描述了当今人工智能研究领域普遍存在的那种精神状态)”可知，作者引用约瑟夫·罗特布拉特的观点主要是为了阐明一个观点——科学家沉迷于生产而不考虑后果。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“When the Nobel Prize Committees choose which people among those working on AI to award, they set a powerful incentive (激励) for the AI researchers of today and tomorrow.(当诺贝尔奖委员会决定将奖项授予哪些从事人工智能研究的人员时，他们实际上为当今及未来的人工智能研究人员树立了一个强大的激励标准)”以及最后一段“As the nuclear era teaches us, right now is the time to carefully evaluate what applications of scientific discovery and whom among today’s scientists reflect the values not of the world in which we currently live but the one which we hope to inhabit.(正如核时代所告诉我们的那样，现在正是仔细评估科学发现的应用以及哪些当今科学家能够体现我们所希望居住的那个世界的价值观而非我们当前所处世界的价值观的时候了)”可知，联合国诺贝尔奖的授予是对人工智能未来发展的一种警示。故选B。 第二节（共5小题; 每小题2分, 共10分） We humans are comparison creatures. ____35____ This quality may have evolved as a means of helping us fit into the social hierarchy (等级) of the cultures we inhabited. Regardless of the reasons, social comparison plays a significant role in how we view and evaluate ourselves, and how we interact with our world. It used to be that our primary reference of comparison was our local communities, primarily neighbors and co-workers. Because we tend to gather around those similar to ourselves in terms of educational level, work income, and shared interests, the range of differences when we compared ourselves to others was fairly small. Unfortunately, with the emergence of the Internet, we can now compare ourselves to literally anyone in the world. ____36____ What had in previous generations been a small gap in our comparisons has now become so large and unattainable. ____37____ When so many people that are easily discoverable on the Internet seem to be so successful. famous, influential and beautiful, given our preference to compare, it is difficult not to have it influence how we view ourselves. Sadly, these comparisons usually result in our feeling inadequate and “less than”. These harmful comparisons also damage our emotional lives. When we feel lacking, we experience a variety of unpleasant and unhealthy emotions. We feel jealousy and envy for what others have and what we lack. ____38____ It’s one thing to realize that you compare yourself to others. It’s another thing to recognize that social comparison is often corrosive (逐步侵蚀的) to you in so many ways psychologically and emotionally. It’s an entirely other thing to stop yourself from comparing yourself to others. ____39____ A. We are constantly measuring ourselves against other people. B. Yet it is possible, and it is worth the effort for your mental health. C. Thus, we are now exposed to groups that are quite different from us. D. We believe that there is something wrong with us compared to others. E. We can even feel bitterness and anger at others for the unfairness of it all. F. Comparing ourselves to others has the potential to increase our life experience. G. This new level of comparison has huge implications for our psychological lives. 【答案】35. A 36. C 37. G 38. E 39. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人类生来喜爱比较，但互联网让人们比较的范围变得更大，对人们的生活也产生了一定影响。 【35题详解】 根据上文“We humans are comparison creatures.(我们人类是比较动物)”以及后文“This quality may have evolved as a means of helping us fit into the social hierarchy (等级) of the cultures we inhabited.(这种品质可能是作为一种帮助我们融入我们所居住的文化的社会等级制度的手段而进化的)”可知，上文提到了人类是比较动物，且后文提到比较这种品质，可知本句主要对比较动物进行展开说明，说明人类爱和别人比较。故A选项“我们总是拿自己和别人比较”符合语境，故选A。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Unfortunately, with the emergence of the Internet, we can now compare ourselves to literally anyone in the world.(不幸的是，随着互联网的出现，我们现在可以将自己与世界上的任何人进行比较)”以及后文“What had in previous generations been a small gap in our comparisons has now become so large and unattainable.(在我们的比较中，前几代人的小差距现在变得如此之大，难以企及)”可知，上文提到了互联网让我们可以和世界上的任何人进行比较，且后文提到了前几代人的小差距现在变得如此之大，说明互联网导致比较的群体发生了变化，C选项“因此，我们现在接触到的群体与我们完全不同”符合语境，故选C。 【37题详解】 根据后文内容“When so many people that are easily discoverable on the Internet seem to be so successful. famous, influential and beautiful, given our preference to compare, it is difficult not to have it influence how we view ourselves. Sadly, these comparisons usually result in our feeling inadequate and “less than”.(当这么多在互联网上很容易被发现的人看起来很成功的时候。名气、影响力和美貌，考虑到我们喜欢攀比，很难不影响我们对自己的看法。可悲的是，这些比较通常会导致我们感觉不足和“不如”)”可知，后文提到了互联网的比较影响了我们对自己的看法，导致我们感觉不足和“不如”，说明这种比较对我们的心理产生了影响。故G选项“这种新的比较水平对我们的心理生活有着巨大的影响”符合语境，故选G。 【38题详解】 根据上文“These harmful comparisons also damage our emotional lives. When we feel lacking, we experience a variety of unpleasant and unhealthy emotions. We feel jealousy and envy for what others have and what we lack.(这些有害的比较也会损害我们的情感生活。当我们感到匮乏时，我们会经历各种不愉快和不健康的情绪。我们对别人所拥有的和我们所缺乏的感到嫉妒和羡慕)”可知，本段的主旨是有害的比较会损害情感生活，本句为本段最后一句，故承接上文，主要说明对别人的比较产生的一些负面情绪。故E选项“我们甚至会对别人的不公平感到痛苦和愤怒”符合语境，故选E。 【39题详解】 根据上文“It’s one thing to realize that you compare yourself to others. It’s another thing to recognize that social comparison is often corrosive (逐步侵蚀的) to you in so many ways psychologically and emotionally. It’s an entirely other thing to stop yourself from comparing yourself to others.(意识到你和别人比较是一回事。认识到社会比较通常在心理和情感上对你有多方面的腐蚀性是另一回事。阻止自己和别人比较完全是另一回事)”可知，上文提到了阻止自己和别人进行比较是另一回事，本句为本段最后一句，故说明阻止自己和别人比较所带来的影响，故B选项“但这是可能的，而且为了你的心理健康，这是值得的”符合语境，故选B。 第三部分语言运用（共三节, 37分） 第一节词汇运用（共10小题; 每小题0.5分, 共5分） 从方框中选择适当的词或短语, 用其正确形式完成下面句子。其中有两项为多余选项。 subjective interactive owe priority sympathy regardless of in conclusion 40. ________ we should always take our tine to make informed decisions. 41.

Bruno, a young boy from a privileged German family, moves to a new house when his father gets a promotion. Their new home is near a-concentration camp (集中营), which Bruno initially knows little about. Curious and lonely, Bruno explores the area and meets Shmuel, a boy of his age who lives on the other side of a barbed-wire fence—a Jewish prisoner. Despite their different backgrounds, the two boys form a secret friendship. This story resonates with young people in several ways. Firstly, it highlights the power of friendship. Bruno and Shmuel’s bond goes beyond the barriers of the harsh (残酷的) world around them, demonstrating that genuine friendship can flourish even in the most unlikely and difficult circumstances. This can teach young readers the value of looking beyond surface differences and finding common ground with others. Secondly, the novel explores the theme of innocence. Bruno’s naive perspective on the world contrasts with the harsh reality of the concentration camp. He is unaware of the true nature of Shmuel’s situation and the war, which can reflect how young people often have an innocent, pure view of the world. This innocence can be a powerful lens through which young readers understand the impact of prejudice and injustice. Additionally, the story illustrates the importance of empathy (共情). As Bruno learns more about Shmuel’s life, he starts to relate to him, despite initially not understanding the gravity of Shmuel’s miserable situations. This development can encourage young readers to develop empathy for others who are in different or difficult situations. Finally, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas provides a historical context that helps young people learn about the horrors of the Holocaust (大屠杀) in a way that is accessible. Through Bruno and Shmuel’s story, readers gain insight into a dark period of history, fostering an understanding of the consequences of hatred and intolerance. Overall, the novel offers important lessons about friendship, innocence, empathy, and historical awareness, making it relevant and impactful for young readers. 50.

Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ▷Bruno lacks empathy for Shmuel even though he learns more about his life and understands the gravity of his miserable situations. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 53. In addition to the value of friendship between Bruno and Shmuel, what do you think is the significance of friendship to you?（In about 40 words） ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】50. He is a boy of Bruno’s age who lives on the other side of a barbed-wire fence—a Jewish prisoner. 51. This can teach young readers the value of looking beyond surface differences and finding common ground with others. 52. Bruno lacks empathy for Shmuel. As Bruno learns more about Shmuel’s life, he starts to relate to him. 53. Friendship is significant as it fosters understanding and empathy. It helps us see beyond differences, offering support and companionship in both good times and bad, enriching our lives with shared experiences and emotional bonds. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了在二战背景下，德国小男孩布鲁诺与集中营中的犹太男孩施穆尔之间的一段纯真友谊，并从多个角度探讨了这部作品对年轻读者的重要意义，包括友情的力量、纯真的视角、共情能力以及历史认知等方面。 【50题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第二段“Curious and lonely, Bruno explores the area and meets Shmuel, a boy of his age who lives on the other side of a barbed-wire fence—a Jewish prisoner.(出于好奇和孤独，布鲁诺探索这一带时遇到了施穆尔，一个年龄相仿、住在铁丝网另一边的男孩——一位犹太囚犯)”可知，Shmuel是一名犹太囚犯，年龄与布鲁诺相仿，住在铁丝网的另一边。故答案为He is a boy of Bruno’s age who lives on the other side of a barbed-wire fence—a Jewish prisoner。 【51题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第三段“This can teach young readers the value of looking beyond surface differences and finding common ground with others.(这可以教会年轻读者超越表面差异，寻找与他人共同点的价值)”可知，布鲁诺与施穆尔之间的友情向年轻读者展示了即使存在巨大差异，也能建立深厚的友谊。故答案为This can teach young readers the value of looking beyond surface differences and finding common ground with others。 【52题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第四段“As Bruno learns more about Shmuel's life, he starts to relate to him.(随着布鲁诺更多地了解施穆尔的生活，他开始对他产生共鸣)”可知布鲁诺并非缺乏共情，而是逐渐建立起对施穆尔的理解和同情，所以题干陈述中错误部分是“Bruno lacks empathy for Shmuel”，应改正为“As Bruno learns more about Shmuel’s life, he starts to relate to him”，故答案为Bruno lacks empathy for Shmuel. As Bruno learns more about Shmuel’s life, he starts to relate to him。 【53题详解】 开放性问题。根据文章第二段“Curious and lonely, Bruno explores the area and meets Shmuel, a boy of his age who lives on the other side of a barbed-wire fence—a Jewish prisoner.(出于好奇和孤独，布鲁诺探索这一带时遇到了施穆尔，一个年龄相仿、住在铁丝网另一边的男孩——一位犹太囚犯)”、第三段“This can teach young readers the value of looking beyond surface differences and finding common ground with others.(这可以教会年轻读者超越表面差异，寻找与他人共同点的价值)”、第四段“As Bruno learns more about Shmuel's life, he starts to relate to him.(随着布鲁诺更多地了解施穆尔的生活，他开始对他产生共鸣)”、倒数第二段“Finally, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas provides a historical context that helps young people learn about the horrors of the Holocaust (大屠杀)in a way that is accessible. Through Bruno and Shmuel's story, readers gain insight into a dark period of history, fostering an understanding of the consequences of hatred and intolerance(最后，《穿条纹睡衣的男孩》提供了一个历史背景，以通俗易懂的方式帮助年轻人了解大屠杀的恐怖。通过布鲁诺和施穆尔的故事，读者得以洞察这段黑暗的历史时期，从而加深对仇恨与不容忍后果的理解)”以及最后一段“Overall, the novel offers important lessons about friendship, innocence, empathy, and historical awareness, making it relevant and impactful for young readers(总体而言，这部小说传达了关于友谊、纯真、共情和历史认知的重要启示，使其对年轻读者具有深刻的意义和影响力)”可知，友谊的意义在于它能够促进理解和共情。它帮助我们超越差异，无论在顺境还是逆境中都能给予支持与陪伴，通过共同的经历和情感纽带丰富我们的生活，故答案为Friendship is significant as it fosters understanding and empathy. It helps us see beyond differences, offering support and companionship in both good times and bad, enriching our lives with shared experiences and emotional bonds. 第三节 书面表达（20分） 54. 假设你是红星中学高二学生李华。你校将于5月29日举办“读者剧场”活动 (Readers’ Theater)，该活动围绕《穿条纹睡衣的男孩》开展。请你用英语给你的英国好友Jim写一封电子邮件，邀请他同步观看线上直播，内容包括： 1. 活动内容； 2. 活动意义； 3. 观看直播的相关事宜。 参考词汇: 直播 live stream 注意: 1. 词数100词左右； 2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数； Dear Jim, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】 Dear Jim, How’s everything going?
