(营地的总费用为800美元。这包括住宿、膳食、所有活动材料以及营地期间的交通。但是，我们为能够证明自己以前从事环境志愿者工作的学生提供20%的折扣。)”可知，从事环境志愿者工作的学生有20%的折扣，所以计算可得：800 × (1-20%) = $640。故选A项。 B We don’t see many 17-year-olds who can list as many accomplishments as EduardoCaiado. Edu, as he likes to be called, lives in Andolils, Brazil. He’s always been driven to help others. In fact, when he was just 15, he was named one of the 50 Young Inspirers of the United Nations for his project on reusing rainwater to provide drinking water in a village. He also bought gifts for 52 people living in a local nursing home, using his own money. These are all totally natural for Edu, who said he’s been actively trying to help others for most of his life. But right now he centers on saving stray animals. Since he was 9, he’s dreamed of the day he could open a shelter for the many forgotten pets he’s seen. Less than ten years later, he made that dream a reality by starting the EduPacoca Institutel “The place where I live is cold, and many stray dogs were dying of extreme cold,” he said. The EduPacoca Institute depends on donations to help these animals in need. First, Edu rented a house; now, he’s using the money to cover food and their expenses. “I want these animals to know that even if they don’t have owners, they will be with me until they grow old and die,” he said. After years of feeding animals on the streets, Edu understands that while they’re not human, animals have feelings of their own. Each has their own habits, personality, and preferences, and Edu loves getting to know them. He’s already given about 30 dogs and cats a home, and the number keeps growing every day! His main regret is that he doesn’t have enough room or money to take in every stray animal. “The Institute is a dream, but at the same time a great challenge,” he said. “But it has been so good to sleep every day knowing that everyone is warm and safe.” 4. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By listing one’s amazing achievements. B. By making some survey. C. By providing one’s family background. D. By putting forward a concept. 5. What inspired Edu to start the EduPacoca Institute? A. The desire for fame. B. His inner quality. C. His skill with animals. D. The experience in childhood. 6. What is the biggest trouble to Edu? A. Poor physical conditions. B. Much pressure from his family. C. Lack of enough support. D. Too much time to put into. 7. What can we learn from the story? A He who laughs last laughs best. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. A good beginning makes a good ending. D. Nothing is impossible to a kind heart. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了17岁的Eduardo Caiado致力于帮助他人，尤其是救助流浪动物，他建立了EduPacoca研究所来为流浪动物提供庇护所，尽管面临资金和空间的限制，但他依然坚持自己的梦想，确保动物们温暖和安全。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“We don’t see many 17-year-olds who can list as many accomplishments as Eduardo Caiado. Edu, as he likes to be called, lives in Andolils, Brazil. He’s always been driven to help others. In fact, when he was just 15, he was named one of the 50 Young Inspirers of the United Nations for his project on reusing rainwater to provide drinking water in a village. He also bought gifts for 52 people living in a local nursing home, using his own money.(我们很少见到像Eduardo Caiado这样17岁就能列出如此多成就的人。Edu，他喜欢别人这样称呼他，住在巴西的Andolils。他总是乐于助人。事实上，当他只有15岁时，他就因为一个关于在村庄里重复利用雨水提供饮用水的项目而被联合国评为50位青年激励者之一。他还用自己的钱为住在当地养老院的52人买了礼物)”可知，作者通过列举Eduardo Caiado的惊人成就来引出文章的主题。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“These are all totally natural for Edu, who said he's been actively trying to help others for most of his life. But right now he centers on saving stray animals. Since he was 9, he’s dreamed of the day he could open a shelter for the many forgotten pets he's seen. Less than ten years later, he made that dream a reality by starting the EduPacoca Institutel（对Edu来说，这些都是很自然的，他说他一生中大部分时间都在积极尝试帮助别人。但现在他专注于拯救流浪动物。从9岁起，他就梦想着有一天能为那些他见过的被遗忘的宠物们开一个庇护所。不到十年后，他创办了EduPacoca研究所，使这个梦想成为了现实）”可知，Edu的内在品质，即乐于助人的精神，激发了他创办EduPacoca研究所的灵感。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“His main regret is that he doesn’t have enough room or money to take in every stray animal.(他主要的遗憾是没有足够的空间和钱来收容每一只流浪动物)”可知，Edu面临的最大问题是空间和资金不足，即没有足够的支持。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““The Institute is a dream, but at the same time a great challenge,” he said. “But it has been so good to sleep every day knowing that everyone is warm and safe.”(他说：“该研究所是一个梦想，但同时也是一个巨大的挑战。”。“但知道每个人都很温暖和安全，每天睡觉都很好。”)”以及文章内容可知，Eduardo Caiado虽然年纪轻轻，但却有着非凡的成就和善良的心，他致力于帮助他人，尤其是救助流浪动物。尽管面临诸多困难，但他依然坚持自己的梦想，为流浪动物提供庇护所。由此可以推断出，这个故事告诉我们“Nothing is impossible to a kind heart.(心善者，无所不能)”故选D项。 C In recent years, the joining of the Internet and AI has made big improvements in the field of healthcare, significantly promoting the quality of human life. The Internet has become a huge repository of medical knowledge accessible to everyone. Patients can now research their symptoms, possible diseases, and treatment options online. Through medical information platforms, individuals even understand how different medications work. This helps patients talk better with their doctors, ask the right questions, and take part in their own treatment plans. AI has also made inroads into diagnostic (诊断) processes. Advanced calculating can analyze medical images such as X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans with astonishing accuracy. In some cases, AI can detect diseases at earlier stages than human doctors might. AI-powered software can identify patterns in lung X-rays that may indicate the presence of cancer, often spotting subtle signs that could be overlooked by the human eye. This early detection can greatly increase the chances of successful treatment. Moreover, the Internet has promoted telemedicine, which has become a key part of healthcare, especially during disease outbreaks. Patients can now consult with doctors remotely via video calls. This is particularly beneficial for those in rural areas or with limited mobility. They can receive medical advice, prescriptions (处方), and follow-up care without having to travel long distances to a hospital. Doctors can also monitor patients’ vital signs remotely using Internet-connected equipment, enabling them to track the progress of patients with chronic(慢性的) conditions more effectively. However, like any emerging technology, some worry that the over-reliance on AI in diagnosis may lead to misunderstanding, as AI systems are only as good as the data they are trained on. There are also privacy concerns regarding the sharing of medical information over the Internet. But despite these challenges, the overall impact of the Internet and AI on healthcare has been overwhelmingly positive. 8. What does the underlined word “repository” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Storage. B. Treatment. C. Process. D. Equipment. 9. What is the advantage of AI in medical imaging according to the passage? A. It can ensure disease treatment. B. It can fully replace doctors in scans. C. It can identify diseases earlier than doctors. D. It can offer more detailed medical diagnosis. 10. What does the author think of telemedicine? A. Harms rural patients. B. Reduces in-person visits. C. Limits healthcare access. D. Useless during outbreaks. 11. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The bright future of telemedicine. B. The problems in digital healthcare. C. The impact of Internet & AI on healthcare. D. The double-effects of the medical technology. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人工智能对于医疗行业的影响以及人工智能医疗的优点和局限性。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Patients can now research their symptoms, possible diseases, and treatment options online. Through medical information platforms, individuals even understand how different medications work.(患者现在可以在线研究他们的症状、可能的疾病和治疗方案。通过医疗信息平台，个人甚至可以了解不同药物的作用原理)”可知，互联网储存了大量的医学知识，让患者在线了解他们的健康情况。故划线词意思是“储存”。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In some cases, AI can detect diseases at earlier stages than human doctors might.(在某些情况下，人工智能可以在比人类医生更早的阶段检测到疾病)”可知，AI在医学成像中的优势是能比医生更早发现疾病。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“They can receive medical advice, prescriptions(处方), and follow-up care without having to travel long distances to a hospital.(他们可以得到医疗建议、处方和后续护理，而不必长途跋涉去医院)”可知，作者认为远程医疗可以减少亲自拜访。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第一段“In recent years, the joining of the Internet and AI has made big improvements in the field of healthcare, significantly promoting the quality of human life.(近年来，互联网和人工智能的结合使医疗保健领域有了很大的改善，极大地提高了人类的生活质量)”可知，这篇文章主要讲了互联网和人工智能对医疗保健的影响。故选C。 D Rise with the sun and rest at sunset — this was the way of life for our ancestors. Thanks to artificial light, which improves visibility at night, we can enjoy a much safer society and around-the-clock productivity. For wildlife, however, studies have shown it disturbs animals’ natural sleep cycles, affects amphibian (两栖的) reproduction and throws migrating birds off course. New research in Frontiers in Plant Science investigated how artificial light impacts plant-insect relationships. Researchers from Chinese Academy of Sciences noticed tree leaves in cities typically showed fewer signs of insect damage than those outside of cities, so they analyzed 5,500 leaf samples from two tree species throughout Beijing. Researchers found more artificial light in a given area meant tougher leaves. And the tougher the leaf, the less evidence of hungry insects. They don’t fully understand why, but assume that trees under artificial light at night might be extending their photosynthesis (光合作用) time. “Plants distribute their limited resources, such as nutrients, water and energy, among various functions like growth, reproduction and defense, depending on the environment. Light can affect how plants use resources,” says Ellen Cieraad, a plant ecologist from New Zealand. “Since plants use light for growth, artificial night light could be unnaturally increasing the time trees spend on photosynthesis, allocating more resources to chemical compounds that make leaves tougher.” “If the same applied to leaves of other species, this would be bad news for insects,” researchers said. Changes in plants, and in interactions between plants and animals, can significantly impact the entire urban ecosystem. Herbivorous insects, which rely on leaves for food, may struggle to survive, disrupting the food chain. Fewer herbivorous insects could lead to declines in predators like birds, affecting biodiversity. Insects also play vital roles as pollinators (传粉媒介) and eat decaying plants, helping to break down leaves and returning nutrients to soil. In cities, healthy soil and healthy plant life supported by insects are good for humans, as plants provide shade and reduce heat trapped in cities. Moving forward, researchers are committed to refining their discovery, aiming to guide people to take corresponding actions. 12. What influence does artificial light bring according to the text? A. It toughens tree leaves. B. It shortens animals’ sleep hours. C. It illuminates birds’ migrating routes. D. It increases amphibian reproduction rates. 13. Why is Ellen Cieraad quoted in paragraph 3? A. To raise a concern. B. To introduce a concept. C. To support an assumption. D. To clarify a misunderstanding. 14. Which of the following best summarizes the phenomenon in paragraph 4? A. Time heals all wounds. B. Nature always finds a way. C. A chain is as strong as its weakest link. D. A small move may affect the bigger picture. 15. What will the following research probably focus on? A. Approaches to enhancing soil quality. B. Ways of improving urban biodiversity. C. Standards for selecting plant species in cities. D. Solutions to reducing impacts of nighttime light. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人造光对人类有益，但会干扰野生动物的自然睡眠周期，新研究还发现它会使树叶变硬，影响城市生态系统。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Researchers found more artificial light in a given area meant tougher leaves. (研究人员发现，特定区域的人造光越多，树叶就越坚硬)”可知，人造光会使树叶变硬。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“They don’t fully understand why, but assume that trees under artificial light at night might be extending their photosynthesis (光合作用) time. (他们并不完全明白原因，但推测夜间处于人造光下的树木可能会延长它们的光合作用时间)”和第三段中引用Ellen Cieraad的话“Since plants use light for growth, artificial night light could be unnaturally increasing the time trees spend on photosynthesis, allocating more resources to chemical compounds that make leaves tougher. (由于植物利用光进行生长，夜间人造光可能会不自然地增加树木进行光合作用的时间，将更多的资源分配到使树叶更坚硬的化合物上)”可推知，引用Ellen Cieraad的话是为了支持第二段中研究人员的假设。故选C项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Changes in plants, and in interactions between plants and animals, can significantly impact the entire urban ecosystem. Herbivorous insects, which rely on leaves for food, may struggle to survive, disrupting the food chain. Fewer herbivorous insects could lead to declines in predators like birds, affecting biodiversity. (植物的变化以及植物与动物之间相互作用的变化，会对整个城市生态系统产生重大影响。以树叶为食的食草昆虫可能难以生存，从而破坏食物链。食草昆虫数量的减少可能会导致鸟类等捕食者数量的减少，影响生物多样性)”描述的现象可知，植物和动物间的小变化会影响整个城市生态系统，即小的变动可能会影响大局。故D项“A small move may affect the bigger picture.(一个小小的变动可能会影响大局)”能概括该段现象。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据前文提到人造光对生态系统的诸多影响和最后一段中“Moving forward, researchers are committed to refining their discovery, aiming to guide people to take corresponding actions. (未来，研究人员致力于完善他们的发现，旨在引导人们采取相应的行动)”可推断，后续研究可能会关注减少夜间人造光影响的解决方案。故选D项。 第二节：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) If you’re a hiker or outdoor person, you know how important it can be to bring a snack with you on a long outdoor adventure. ____16____ But when you’re done with your apple, you can just throw the core away, right? While your banana skin or apple core will degrade when exposed to nature, it is not necessarily safe for the environment for you to do so. Here’s why. ____17____ If you’ve ever had a compost heap (堆肥堆), you know that when you throw something in the compost, it takes some time to biodegrade and turn into rich, dark soil. Compost heaps are often the most ideal places for this organic matter to break down. ____18____ Next, leaving food waste could harm wildlife. If you leave an apple core near your favorite outdoor adventure spot, a deer may come along and decide to finish eating it for you. ____19____ However, feeding wildlife increases habituation. If an animal becomes habituated to finding apple cores along roadsides, for example, it increases the likelihood that it will be hurt or killed by passing traffic. Ultimately, the best practice when experiencing nature is to pack out everything that you pack in, even biodegradable food waste. Humans have systems in place for dealing with the quantity of organic food waste we produce. ____20____ A. The deer may be happy with the find. B. Do remember to bring your favorite snack. C. First, food waste might not degrade quickly. D. Finally, this might attract a group of wild deer. E. The ground near your favorite local hiking path is not. F. Nature, on the other hand, may have a harder time dealing with our waste. G. A banana, apple, or some other snack can make all the difference to how far you can go. 【答案】16. G 17. C 18. E 19. A 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要解释了为什么不能将果核、果皮等残渣扔在自然环境中。 16题详解】 根据空前“If you’re a hiker or outdoor person, you know how important it can be to bring a snack with you on a long outdoor adventure.(如果你是一个徒步旅行者或户外爱好者，你知道在漫长的户外探险中带零食有多重要)”和空后“But when you're done with your apple, you can just throw the core away, right?(但当你吃完苹果后，你可以直接扔掉果核，对吧？)”可知，空前提到了在漫长的户外探险中带零食的重要性，空后提出吃完苹果会将直接扔掉果核，故G项“一个香蕉、苹果或其他零食可以决定你能走多远”符合，承接前文，强调户外活动带零食的重要性，且引出后文关于仍苹果核的话题。故选G项。 【17题详解】 根据空后“If you’ve ever had a compost heap (堆肥堆) , you know that when you throw something in the compost, it takes some time to biodegrade and turn into rich, dark soil.(如果你曾经有过堆肥堆，你知道当你把东西扔进堆肥时，它需要一些时间来生物降解并变成肥沃的土壤)”可知，空后提到将垃圾扔进堆肥，需要花费一些时间来生物降解，故C项“首先，食物残渣可能不会快速降解”作为本段的主旨句，说明食物降解需要时间。故选C项。 【18题详解】 根据空前“Compost heaps are often the most ideal places for this organic matter to break down.(堆肥堆通常是这种有机物质分解的最理想场所)”可知，空前提到堆肥堆是有机物质分解的最理想的场所，故E项“你最喜欢的徒步路径附近的地面不是”与堆肥形成对比，说明自然环境不适合降解。故选E项。 【19题详解】 根据空前“If you leave an apple core near your favorite outdoor adventure spot, a deer may come along and decide to finish eating it for you.(如果你在你喜欢的户外探险地点附近留下一个苹果核，一只鹿可能会过来决定帮你吃掉它)”可知，空前提到鹿可能会吃掉你留下的食物残渣，故A项“鹿可能会对这个发现感到高兴”承接前文，并与后文“However, feeding wildlife increases habituation.(然而，喂养野生动物会增加它们的习惯化)”构成转折关系。故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据空前“Humans have systems in place for dealing with the quantity of organic food waste we produce.(人类有系统处理我们产生的大量有机食物残渣)”可知，前文提到人类有处理食物残渣的系统，故F项“另一方面，自然可能更难处理我们的垃圾”与人类系统形成对比，人类有处理食物残渣的系统，但自然很难处理我们的垃圾。故选F项。 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题；每题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A，B，C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Being honest at work can be incredibly beneficial and allows one to live life with a clear conscience (良心).

The shop owner replied, “For anything between $30 and $50.” The little boy reached in his pocket and pulled out some change from it. “I have $2. 37 on me,” he said in a low voice. “Can I please look at them?” The shop owner smiled and whistled. Out of the doghouse came the mother dog, who ran down the passage of his shop, followed by five tiny ball of fur. One puppy was moving slowly and fell behind. In no time the little boy picked out the slow puppy and asked, “What’s wrong with that little dog?” The shop owner explained that the vet had examined the little puppy and had discovered that one of his back legs was injured. He would always walk slowly and with difficulty. He would be lame (瘸的). Hearing what the shop owner had said, the little boy became excited, “That is the little puppy I want to buy.” The shop owner said, “No, you don’t want to buy that little dog. If you really want him, I’ll just give him to you.” The little boy got quite upset. He looked straight into the shop owner’s eyes and said, “I don’t want you to give him to me. That little dog is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs and I’ll pay full price. As a matter of fact, I’ll give you $2. 37 right now, and 50 cents a month until I have him paid for.” 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。 The shop owner shook his head and declined the little boy. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All of a sudden, the little boy reached down and rolled up one leg of his pants. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The shop owner shook his head and declined the little boy. He said, “You really don’t need to buy this little dog. He is never going to be able to run, jump and play with you like the other puppies.” The little boy stood his ground, determined to pay for the limping puppy. He looked at the store owner with unwavering confidence and replied, “He may not be perfect, but that doesn’t make him any less deserving of a loving home.” All of a sudden, the little boy reached down and rolled up one leg of his pants. A badly twisted, crippled left leg supported by a big metal brace came into sight. The boy looked up at the shop owner and softly replied, “Well, I don’t run so well myself, and the little puppy will need someone who understands!” Tears sparkling in eyes, the owner handed over the lame puppy to the boy. It always feels so great to have someone who understands you and cares for you heart and soul. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了小男孩到一家卖小狗的店里买狗，却看中了一只后腿受伤走路一瘸一拐的小狗，店主说可以把狗送给他，虽然小男孩钱不够，但是他坚持要分期付款。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“店主摇了摇头，拒绝了小男孩。”可知，第一段可描写店主描述反对的原因以及小男孩说明自己坚持付钱的原因。 ②由第二段首句内容“突然，小男孩伸手卷起一条裤腿。”可知，第二段可描写小男孩展示自己腿上的残疾，店主深受感动，把狗交给小男孩。 2.续写线索：店主解释——小男孩坚持付钱并说明原因——小男孩展示残疾——店主流泪——店主把狗交给小男孩 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①购买：buy/purchase ②回答：reply/answer ③映入眼帘：come into sight/come into view 情绪类 ①流泪：tears sparkling in eyes/tears welling up in the eyes ②关心：care for/be concerned about 【点睛】[高分句型1]Tears sparkling in eyes, the owner handed over the lame puppy to the boy. （运用了独立主格结构） [高分句型2] It always feels so great to have someone who understands you and cares for you heart and soul. （由关系代词who引导定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 石嘴山三中2024-2025学年第二学期高二年级月考英语试题 (考试时间:120分钟 满分 150分) 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B We don’t see many 17-year-olds who can list as many accomplishments as EduardoCaiado. Edu, as he likes to be called, lives in Andolils, Brazil. He’s always been driven to help others. In fact, when he was just 15, he was named one of the 50 Young Inspirers of the United Nations for his project on reusing rainwater to provide drinking water in a village. He also bought gifts for 52 people living in a local nursing home, using his own money. These are all totally natural for Edu, who said he’s been actively trying to help others for most of his life. But right now he centers on saving stray animals. Since he was 9, he’s dreamed of the day he could open a shelter for the many forgotten pets he’s seen. Less than ten years later, he made that dream a reality by starting the EduPacoca Institutel “The place where I live is cold, and many stray dogs were dying of extreme cold,” he said. The EduPacoca Institute depends on donations to help these animals in need. First, Edu rented a house; now, he’s using the money to cover food and their expenses. “I want these animals to know that even if they don’t have owners, they will be with me until they grow old and die,” he said. After years of feeding animals on the streets, Edu understands that while they’re not human, animals have feelings of their own. Each has their own habits, personality, and preferences, and Edu loves getting to know them. He’s already given about 30 dogs and cats a home, and the number keeps growing every day! His main regret is that he doesn’t have enough room or money to take in every stray animal. “The Institute is a dream but at the same time a great challenge,” he said. “But it has been so good to sleep every day knowing that everyone is warm and safe.” 4. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By listing one’s amazing achievements. B. By making some survey. C. By providing one’s family background. D. By putting forward a concept. 5 What inspired Edu to start the EduPacoca Institute? A. The desire for fame. B. His inner quality. C. His skill with animals. D. The experience in childhood. 6. What is the biggest trouble to Edu? A. Poor physical conditions. B. Much pressure from his family. C. Lack of enough support. D. Too much time to put into. 7. What can we learn from the story? A. He who laughs last laughs best. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. A good beginning makes a good ending. D. Nothing is impossible to a kind heart. C In recent years, the joining of the Internet and AI has made big improvements in the field of healthcare, significantly promoting the quality of human life. The Internet has become a huge repository of medical knowledge accessible to everyone. Patients can now research their symptoms, possible diseases, and treatment options online. Through medical information platforms, individuals even understand how different medications work. This helps patients talk better with their doctors, ask the right questions, and take part in their own treatment plans. AI has also made inroads into diagnostic (诊断) processes. Advanced calculating can analyze medical images such as X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans with astonishing accuracy. In some cases, AI can detect diseases at earlier stages than human doctors might. AI-powered software can identify patterns in lung X-rays that may indicate the presence of cancer, often spotting subtle signs that could be overlooked by the human eye. This early detection can greatly increase the chances of successful treatment. Moreover, the Internet has promoted telemedicine, which has become a key part of healthcare, especially during disease outbreaks. Patients can now consult with doctors remotely via video calls. This is particularly beneficial for those in rural areas or with limited mobility. They can receive medical advice, prescriptions (处方), and follow-up care without having to travel long distances to a hospital. Doctors can also monitor patients’ vital signs remotely using Internet-connected equipment, enabling them to track the progress of patients with chronic(慢性) conditions more effectively. However, like any emerging technology, some worry that the over-reliance on AI in diagnosis may lead to misunderstanding, as AI systems are only as good as the data they are trained on. There are also privacy concerns regarding the sharing of medical information over the Internet. But despite these challenges, the overall impact of the Internet and AI on healthcare has been overwhelmingly positive. 8. What does the underlined word “repository” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Storage. B. Treatment. C. Process. D. Equipment. 9. What is the advantage of AI in medical imaging according to the passage? A. It can ensure disease treatment. B. It can fully replace doctors in scans. C. It can identify diseases earlier than doctors. D. It can offer more detailed medical diagnosis. 10. What does the author think of telemedicine? A. Harms rural patients. B. Reduces in-person visits. C. Limits healthcare access. D. Useless during outbreaks. 11. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The bright future of telemedicine. B. The problems in digital healthcare. C. The impact of Internet & AI on healthcare. D. The double-effects of the medical technology. D Rise with the sun and rest at sunset — this was the way of life for our ancestors. Thanks to artificial light, which improves visibility at night, we can enjoy a much safer society and around-the-clock productivity. For wildlife, however, studies have shown it disturbs animals’ natural sleep cycles, affects amphibian (两栖的) reproduction and throws migrating birds off course. New research in Frontiers in Plant Science investigated how artificial light impacts plant-insect relationships. Researchers from Chinese Academy of Sciences noticed tree leaves in cities typically showed fewer signs of insect damage than those outside of cities, so they analyzed 5,500 leaf samples from two tree species throughout Beijing. Researchers found more artificial light in a given area meant tougher leaves. And the tougher the leaf, the less evidence of hungry insects. They don’t fully understand why, but assume that trees under artificial light at night might be extending their photosynthesis (光合作用) time. “Plants distribute their limited resources, such as nutrients, water and energy, among various functions like growth, reproduction and defense, depending on the environment. Light can affect how plants use resources,” says Ellen Cieraad, a plant ecologist from New Zealand. “Since plants use light for growth, artificial night light could be unnaturally increasing the time trees spend on photosynthesis, allocating more resources to chemical compounds that make leaves tougher.” “If the same applied to leaves of other species, this would be bad news for insects,” researchers said. Changes in plants, and in interactions between plants and animals, can significantly impact the entire urban ecosystem. Herbivorous insects, which rely on leaves for food, may struggle to survive, disrupting the food chain. Fewer herbivorous insects could lead to declines in predators like birds, affecting biodiversity. Insects also play vital roles as pollinators (传粉媒介) and eat decaying plants, helping to break down leaves and returning nutrients to soil. In cities, healthy soil and healthy plant life supported by insects are good for humans, as plants provide shade and reduce heat trapped in cities. Moving forward, researchers are committed to refining their discovery, aiming to guide people to take corresponding actions. 12. What influence does artificial light bring according to the text? A. It toughens tree leaves. B. It shortens animals’ sleep hours. C. It illuminates birds’ migrating routes. D. It increases amphibian reproduction rates. 13. Why is Ellen Cieraad quoted in paragraph 3? A. To raise a concern. B. To introduce a concept. C. To support an assumption. D. To clarify a misunderstanding. 14. Which of the following best summarizes the phenomenon in paragraph 4?

While your banana skin or apple core will degrade when exposed to nature, it is not necessarily safe for the environment for you to do so. Here’s why. ____17____ If you’ve ever had a compost heap (堆肥堆), you know that when you throw something in the compost, it takes some time to biodegrade and turn into rich, dark soil. Compost heaps are often the most ideal places for this organic matter to break down. ____18____ Next, leaving food waste could harm wildlife. If you leave an apple core near your favorite outdoor adventure spot, a deer may come along and decide to finish eating it for you. ____19____ However, feeding wildlife increases habituation. If an animal becomes habituated to finding apple cores along roadsides, for example, it increases the likelihood that it will be hurt or killed by passing traffic. Ultimately, the best practice when experiencing nature is to pack out everything that you pack in, even biodegradable food waste. Humans have systems in place for dealing with the quantity of organic food waste we produce. ____20____ A. The deer may be happy with the find. B. Do remember to bring your favorite snack. C. First, food waste might not degrade quickly. D. Finally, this might attract a group of wild deer. E. The ground near your favorite local hiking path is not. F. Nature, on the other hand, may have a harder time dealing with our waste. G. A banana, apple, or some other snack can make all the difference to how far you can go. 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题；每题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A，B，C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Being honest at work can be incredibly beneficial and allows one to live life with a clear conscience (良心).
