Everyone craves a delicious local meal during their journey, as it enriches the travel experience. But without prior consideration or research, you might either pay for a disappointing meal or end up at a generic fast-food place, missing out on the area’s unique dining options. Fortunately, there are handy tricks. Before your trip, utilize websites like Tripadvisor or Yelp. By checking star-ratings and reading customer reviews, you can assess a restaurant’s quality and service. However, sites like Justeat.ie mainly feature take-away joints, overlooking many great sit-down restaurants. When exploring Carlow on foot, venture beyond the main streets and shopping areas. Hidden culinary treasures often lurk (潜藏) in the surrounding lanes, away from the hustle of fast-food outlets. Don’t hesitate to ask the locals, such as hotel staff or those at the farmers market. Their insights can g guide you to the best local spots. The internet also offers local food blogs and individual restaurant websites for menu and gallery viewing. Be spontaneous with smartphone apps, and don’t forget to seek advice from friends who’ve visited before. Just be cautious of ‘positive spiralling’ on review sites. With these steps, you’ll be well-prepared to enjoy Carlow’s gastronomic delights. 1. For travelers new to Carlow, why is it difficult to choose a restaurant? A. There are too many expensive restaurants. B. They are unfamiliar with the area and lack research. C. The local people are not friendly enough to give advice. D. The food quality of all restaurants is similar. 2. Which website might not help you find good sit-down restaurants? A. Tripadvisor. B. Yelp. C. Justeat.ie. D. Local blogs. 3. What should you be careful about when looking for local food places? A. The local food blogs. B. The advice from hotel staff. C. The individual restaurant websites. D. The ‘positive spiralling’ on review sites. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章针对初到卡洛的游客不知如何选择餐厅的问题，给出了利用网站、询问当地人等挑选餐厅的建议。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“For travelers new to Carlow, deciding where to dine can be quite a challenge. Everyone craves a delicious local meal during their journey, as it enriches the travel experience. But without prior consideration or research, you might either pay for a disappointing meal or end up at a generic fast food place, missing out on the area’s unique dining options. (对于初到卡洛的游客来说，决定在哪里用餐可能是个不小的挑战。每个人都希望在旅途中品尝到美味的当地美食，因为这能丰富旅行体验。但如果没有事先考虑或做研究，你可能会花钱吃一顿令人失望的饭，或者最终去了一家普通的快餐店，错过该地区独特的用餐选择。)”可知，初到卡洛的游客难以选择餐厅是因为他们不熟悉这个地区且缺乏研究。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, sites like Justeat.ie mainly feature take away joints, overlooking many great sit down restaurants. (然而，像Justeat.ie这样的网站主要推荐外卖店，忽略了许多很棒的堂食餐厅。)”可知，Justeat.ie可能无法帮助你找到好的堂食餐厅。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Just be cautious of ‘positive spiralling’ on review sites. (只要留意评论网站上的‘正向螺旋’现象就行。)”可知，在寻找当地美食场所时，你应该小心评论网站上的“正向螺旋”现象。故选D项。 B Twelve-year-old Alyssa Faith Fallorina Dean of Prestatyn has spent the past year collecting discarded chip (薯条) bags which she then transforms into foil warming blankets. She donates them, along with toiletries (洗漱用品) and other essentials, to organizations that support people who are homeless throughout Wales and as far as Ukraine. So far, she’s turned over 10,000 chips bags into 200+ blankets! Alyssa told the BBC. “You wouldn’t think you could turn a crisp packet into something so helpful, but homeless people like the blankets because they’re really lightweight and waterproof.” As a budding environmentalist, Alyssa thinks there’s an added bonus to using chip bags. “Crisp packets are really hard to recycle, so this is a new way to stop them going in the bin,” she said. Alyssa’s mom helped her with her initial chip bag gleaning, but now that her story’s out, she’s getting donations from far and wide. For each bag, she starts by opening the packet and washing it (her least favorite part), then she places four packets on a piece of parchment paper (羊皮纸) and irons them so they fuse together. The last step is placing the packets between strips of clear plastic and ironing them to seal it all together. In addition to her environmental and social charity Alyssa is involved with scholarship and beauty pageants (选美比赛). She was recently crowned Miss Royal UK Pre-Teen for 2022/2023 and has exciting plans to attend the Royal International Pageants in Florida in July 2023. Her family is proud of her achievements and continues to encourage her in all her attempts. This young girl is truly making a difference, and her story is an inspiration to many. 4. What is an additional benefit of using chip bags to make blankets according to Alyssa? A. It is a new way to recycle chip bags. B. It can make homeless people happy. C. It helps her to win beauty pageants. D. It makes her popular on social media. 5. What does the underlined word “gleaning” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Debt. B. Collection. C. Quality. D. Trouble. 6. What can we infer form Alyssa’s family? A. It supports her charitable activities. B. It only helps her because they want her to be famous. C. It is not supportive of her participation in beauty pageants. D. It discourages her from making blankets because it takes too much time. 7. What is the main idea of this text? A. To introduce a new way of recycling chip bags. B. To describe the process of making blankets from chip bags. C. To encourage more people to donate to homeless people. D. To introduce Alyssa’s good deeds and achievements. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了12岁女孩Alyssa收集薯条袋制作保暖毯捐赠给无家可归者，还介绍了她的其他成就，其家人为她感到骄傲并给予鼓励。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“As a budding environmentalist, Alyssa thinks there’s an added bonus to using chip bags. ‘Crisp packets are really hard to recycle, so this is a new way to stop them going in the bin,’ she said.(作为一名初露头角的环保主义者，Alyssa认为使用薯条袋还有一个额外的好处。她说：‘薯片包装袋很难回收，所以这是一种防止它们被扔进垃圾桶的新方法。’)”可知，用薯条袋制作毯子的一个额外好处是这是一种回收薯条袋的新方法。故选A项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Twelve year old Alyssa Faith Fallorina Dean of Prestatyn has spent the past year collecting discarded chip (薯条) bags which she then transforms into foil warming blankets.(普雷斯塔廷12岁的Alyssa Faith Fallorina Dean在过去一年里一直在收集丢弃的薯条袋，然后将它们变成铝箔保暖毯)”和划线词所在句“Alyssa’s mom helped her with her initial chip bag gleaning, but now that her story’s out, she’s getting donations from far and wide.(Alyssa的妈妈最初帮助她gleaning薯条袋，但现在她的故事传开了，她收到了来自四面八方的捐赠)”可推知，妈妈一直在帮助Alyssa做的事情是收集薯条袋，故事传开后就不用再收集了，因为得到了人们的捐赠。划线词“gleaning”意思是“收集”，与B项“Collection”同义。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Her family is proud of her achievements and continues to encourage her in all her attempts.(她的家人为她的成就感到骄傲，并继续鼓励她的所有尝试)”可知，Alyssa的家人为她的成就感到骄傲，并继续鼓励她的所有尝试，说明他们支持她的慈善活动。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“Twelve year old Alyssa Faith Fallorina Dean of Prestatyn has spent the past year collecting discarded chip (薯条) bags which she then transforms into foil warming blankets. She donates them, along with toiletries (洗漱用品) and other essentials, to organizations that support people who are homeless throughout Wales and as far as Ukraine.(普雷斯塔廷12岁的Alyssa Faith Fallorina Dean在过去一年里一直在收集丢弃的薯条袋，然后将它们变成铝箔保暖毯。她将这些毯子连同洗漱用品和其他必需品捐赠给支持威尔士乃至乌克兰无家可归者的组织)”和最后一段“In addition to her environmental and social charity, Alyssa is involved with scholarship and beauty pageants (选美比赛). She was recently crowned Miss Royal UK Pre Teen for 2022/2023 and has exciting plans to attend the Royal International Pageants in Florida in July 2023.(除了她的环保和社会慈善事业外，Alyssa还参加了奖学金项目和选美比赛。她最近被加冕为2022/2023年度英国皇家少女小姐，并计划于2023年7月参加在佛罗里达举行的皇家国际选美比赛)”可知，本文主要介绍了Alyssa的善举和成就。故选D项。 C Artificial intelligence is bringing revolutionary changes to the Chinese film industry, thoroughly transforming the movie-making process from the initial concept to the final post-production stage. A prime example is veteran director Yu Baimei’s short film. It gives a modern makeover to the well-known Chinese folklore hero Zhong Kui, who is traditionally pictured as a crimson-robed warrior battling evil. Yu, 49, said, “I’ve always been captivated by Zhong Kui’s humorous, heroic traits that are so familiar to us. But he’s never been presented on screen in a satisfying way.” With AI assistance, Yu crafted a two-minute short, “Bai Gui Wu Rao”. In it, Zhong Kui strides through a moonlit, misty forest, sword in hand, facing off against supernatural foes like a menacing, red-eyed rabbit. Then, the scene switches to a modern bedroom where a young man sleeps, phone notifications flickering. The forest fight turns out to be his dream, with Zhong Kui as his digital “guardian spirit”, and a witty message highlights the need for digital downtime. This and eight other directors’ AI shorts premiered in December 2024 at the China National Film Museum and were up to the permanent collection, signifying a milestone for Chinese cinema. This mirrors the wider trend of AI’s growing footprint in filmmaking. Renowned director Zhang Yimou, while adapting “The Three-Body Problem”, set up an AI team, seeing it as a learning curve. Big studios and platforms like Bona Film Group and Yangshipin are also exploiting AI for creative works. However, there’s ongoing discussion. French filmmaker Luc Besson called AI a “valuable tool” with limits. Chinese filmmakers concur that human creativity is irreplaceable yet stress the need to quickly master AI. Hollywood, too, is on a similar path, with Lionsgate partnering with an AI startup and James Cameron joining an AI board. According to a 2024 report, 16.4% of Chinese were using generative AI products by June. “AI will soon be part of daily life,” said Yu. These directors have set a precedent, suggesting that future filmmaking could be more accessible, not just for professionals. 8. What did Yu Baimei think about the previous portrayals of Zhong Kui on screen? A. They were too humorous. B. They didn’t do Zhong Kui justice. C. They were very innovative. D. They focused too much on his heroic traits. 9. The fact that Zhang Yimou set up an AI team while adapting “The Three-Body Problem” implies _______. A. he didn’t trust his own creative ability. B. he was forced to do so by the film studio. C. he recognized the potential of AI in film production. D. he wanted to rely completely on AI for the adaptation. 10. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. The trend of using AI in filmmaking is spreading globally. B. Hollywood is more advanced in using AI in filmmaking. C. Hollywood is just following China’s lead in AI filmmaking. D. Only big names in Hollywood are interested in AI filmmaking. 11. What is the author’s overall attitude towards the development of AI in the Chinese film industry? A. Indifferent. B. Pessimistic. C. Skeptical. D. Optimistic. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章以人工智能（AI）对中国电影行业的影响为核心，通过导演余白眉的 AI短片案例、张艺谋等行业人士的实践，以及全球范围内的AI应用趋势，客观阐述了AI在电影制作中的发展现状、具体应用及未来潜力，旨在说明AI给电影行业带来的革命性变化。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Yu, 49, said, ‘I’ve always been captivated by Zhong Kui’s humorous, heroic traits that are so familiar to us. But he’s never been presented on screen in a satisfying way.’(49岁的余说：“我一直被我们熟知的钟馗幽默、英雄的特质所吸引，但他从未在银幕上得到令人满意的呈现。”)”可知，余白眉认为此前银幕上的钟馗形象未能充分展现其魅力，即“未公正对待他”。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Renowned director Zhang Yimou, while adapting ‘The Three-Body Problem’, set up an AI team, seeing it as a learning curve.(著名导演张艺谋在改编《三体》时成立了AI团队，将其视为一个学习过程。)”可知，张艺谋组建AI团队，表明他认可AI在电影制作中的潜力。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段提到“French filmmaker Luc Besson called AI a ‘valuable tool’ with limits.(法国电影制作人吕克·贝松称人工智能是一种有局限性的“有价值的工具”。)”和“ Chinese filmmakers concur that human creativity is irreplaceable yet stress the need to quickly master AI. Hollywood, too, is on a similar path, with Lionsgate partnering with an AI startup and James Cameron joining an AI board.(中国电影制作人一致认为，人类的创造力是不可替代的，但他们强调需要快速掌握人工智能。好莱坞也走上了类似的道路，狮门影业与一家人工智能初创公司合作，詹姆斯·卡梅隆加入了人工智能董事会。)”可推断，全球范围内电影制作中使用AI的趋势正在蔓延。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，全文以余白眉的AI短片为例，强调AI对中国电影行业的革命性改变，并提到AI短片被国家电影博物馆永久收藏、张艺谋等导演积极探索AI应用，最后一段引用报告数据及导演观点，指出“AI 将很快成为日常生活的一部分”和“未来电影制作可能更普及”。作者始终以积极视角描述AI在电影中的发展，故态度为乐观的。故选D项。 D In the United States alone, over 100 million cell-phones are thrown away each year. Cell-phones are part of a growing mountain of electronic waste like computers and personal digital assistants. The electronic waste stream is increasing three times faster than traditional garbage as a whole. Electronic devices contain valuable metals such as gold and silver. A Swiss study reported that while the weight of electronic goods represented by precious metals was relatively small in comparison to total waste, the concentration (含量) of gold and other precious metals was higher in so-called e-waste than in naturally occurring minerals. Electronic wastes also contain many poisonous metals. Even when the machines are recycled and the harmful metals removed the recycling process often is carried out in poor countries, in practically uncontrolled ways which allow many poisonous substances to escape into the environment. Creating products out of raw materials creates much more waste material, up to 100 times more, than the material contained in the finished products. Consider again the cell-phone ,and imagine the mines that produced those metals, the factories needed to make the box and packaging (包装) it came in. Many wastes produced in the producing process are harmful as well. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes that most waste is dangerous in that “the production, distribution, and use of products — as well as management of the resulting waste — all result in greenhouse gas release.” Individuals can reduce their contribution by creating less waste at the start -for instance, buying reusable products and recycling. In many countries the concept of extended producer responsibility is being considered or has been put in place as an incentive (动机) for reducing waste. If producers are required to take back packaging they use to sell their products, would they reduce the packaging in the first place? Governments’ incentive to require producers to take responsibility for the packaging they produce is usually based on money. Why, they ask, should cities or towns be responsible for paying to deal with the bubble wrap (气泡垫) that encased your television? From the governments’ point of view, a primary goal of laws requiring extended producer responsibility is to transfer both the costs and the physical responsibility of waste management from the government and tax-payers back to the producers. 12. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph? A. to show the wastefulness of Americans. B. to draw attention to the e-waste problem. C. to highlight the importance of recycling cell-phones. D. to compare the amount of e-waste with that of traditional garbage. 13. What can we infer from the passage? A. Poor countries should stop recycling e-waste. B. Recycling e-waste is completely harmless to the environment. C. The current recycling methods of e-waste need to be improved. D. E-waste is not worth recycling because of its harmful substances. 14. The concept of extended producer responsibility is mainly to make producers . A. pay more taxes to the government B. reduce the production of electronic products C. produce more environmentally friendly products D. take more responsibility for waste management 15. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The various types of e-waste. B. The importance of recycling e-waste. C. The problems and solutions of e-waste. D. The process of producing e-waste. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出电子垃圾问题日益严重，阐述了其危害，也介绍了如让生产者承担更多责任等解决办法。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“In the United States alone, over 100 million cell phones are thrown away each year. Cell phones are part of a growing mountain of electronic waste like computers and personal digital assistants. The electronic waste stream is increasing three times faster than traditional garbage as a whole.(仅在美国，每年就有超过1亿部手机被扔掉。手机是像电脑和个人数字助理等日益增多的电子垃圾的一部分。整个电子垃圾的增长速度是传统垃圾的三倍)”和后文内容可知，第一段通过列举美国手机丢弃数量以及电子垃圾增长速度等数据，目的是引起人们对电子垃圾问题的关注，进而引出下文对于电子垃圾问题的讨论。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Even when the machines are recycled and the harmful metals removed, the recycling process often is carried out in poor countries, in practically uncontrolled ways which allow many poisonous substances to escape into the environment.(即使机器被回收并去除了有害金属，回收过程通常在贫穷国家进行，而且几乎是不受控制的，这使得许多有毒物质排放到环境中)”可知，当前电子垃圾的回收方式存在让有毒物质进入环境的问题，由此可推断，目前电子垃圾的回收方法需要改进。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“From the governments’ point of view, a primary goal of laws requiring extended producer responsibility is to transfer both the costs and the physical responsibility of waste management from the government and tax payers back to the producers.(从政府的角度来看，要求生产者承担更多责任的法律的一个主要目标是将废物管理的成本和实际责任从政府和纳税人转移回生产者)”可知，生产者责任延伸概念主要是让生产者对废物管理承担更多责任。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第三段中“Electronic wastes also contain many poisonous metals.(电子垃圾还含有许多有毒金属)”、第五段中“Individuals can reduce their contribution by creating less waste at the start for instance, buying reusable products and recycling.(个人可以从一开始就减少产生的垃圾，比如购买可重复使用的产品和进行回收利用，来减少对环境的影响)”和第六段中“In many countries the concept of extended producer responsibility is being considered or has been put in place as an incentive (动机) for reducing waste.(在许多国家，扩大生产者责任的概念正在考虑或已付诸实施，作为减少废物的一种激励措施)”等内容可知，文章既提到了电子垃圾带来的问题，也给出了一些解决办法。所以本文主要讨论了电子垃圾的问题和解决办法。故选C项。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Tips to Limit Phone Use During the Holidays Holidays are a time to come together and make memories.____16____ “Screens can be a barrier to true connection during the holidays,” says Hansa Bhargava, MD, an Atlanta-based pediatrician and spokesperson for the Center for Excellence in Media and Mental Health at the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Brooklyn had run away from its temporary caretaker and was trapped on the frozen lake. The puppy’s owner, upon learning that Brooklyn was lost and trapped on the icy lake, rushed to the scene in great anxiety. His heart was gripped tightly, and his mind was filled with all kinds of terrifying images: Brooklyn falling into an ice hole, struggling in the freezing lake water, or freezing due to being exposed to the cold for a long time... He looked at the tiny figure on the lake with a face full of worry, his eyes filled with self-blame and anxiety, and he kept shouting Brooklyn’s name, hoping for a response. The police tried to lure Brooklyn back to the shore with chicken, but the little guy wasn’t biting. At that moment, Kishan Patel, who lived by the lake and was also a dog owner, saw the situation. Seeing the police’s efforts to get Brooklyn back safely, he wondered if he could help. Patel thought of using his drone(无人机) to scare the puppy off the ice. He said in a statement, “I know my dog is afraid of drones, so I thought I could use it to scare this dog off the ice.” However, Brooklyn wasn’t scared by the drone. Patel said that a police officer suggested tying a piece of chicken to the drone to lure the puppy. Brooklyn was indeed attracted, but when it saw the people around, it ran back to the center of the lake. As night fell, WABC reported that Patel had located the puppy using his drone. The police then used weights to test the thickness of the ice. After ensuring it was safe, a police officer successfully brought Brooklyn back to land. 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。 Paragraph 1: Brooklyn was finally rescued and brought ashore. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Ensuring the puppy was out of danger, the dog’s owner turned to the police and Patel. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Brooklyn was finally rescued and brought ashore. It was wet all over, still shivering slightly, and its eyes showed fear and uneasiness. The puppy’s owner immediately rushed forward and scooped Brooklyn into his arms, murmuring, “Baby, it’s so good that you’re okay.” His voice choked, and his eyes glistened with tears. At this moment, the owner felt as if a huge stone had been lifted from his heart. Brooklyn, in the owner’s arms, seemed to sense the familiar scent and gradually stopped shivering, nuzzling the owner’s face with its wet nose and wagging its tail gently, as if telling its grievances. Ensuring the puppy was out of danger, the dog’s owner turned to the police and Patel. His eyes were filled with tears of gratitude that glistened in the dim light. With a trembling voice, he said, “I don’t know how to express my thanks. Brooklyn is like my family, and when I saw it on the ice, I was terrified. You all risked your safety to save him. You are true heroes.” The owner then bent down and gently placed Brooklyn on the ground. The little dog, now much calmer, wagged its tail and walked over to the police and Patel, sniffing at their feet as if it too was showing its gratitude. The owner watched this scene with a warm smile on his face, relieved and overjoyed that his beloved pet was safe and sound, thanks to these kind-hearted strangers. 【解析】 【导语】本文以事件发展为线索，讲述了牧羊犬布鲁克林在结冰湖面被困，主人焦急万分，警方尝试用鸡肉引诱失败后，居民帕特尔利用无人机协助，最终警方确认冰面安全后成功营救布鲁克林的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“布鲁克林终于获救并被带到岸上。”可知，第一段可描写布鲁克林获救后的状态、主人的激动反应及人与犬之间的情感互动。 ②由第二段首句内容“确保小狗脱离危险后，狗的主人转向警察和帕特尔。”可知，第二段可描写主人对救援者的感激之情，通过语言、动作等细节展现感谢场景，以及小狗的“致谢”表现。 2. 续写线索：获救上岸——主人安抚——情感互动——感谢警察与帕特尔——小狗“致谢”——温馨收尾 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①抱入怀中：scoop into arms/hug tightly/cuddle in arms ②表达感谢：express thanks/show gratitude/offer appreciation ③俯身：bend down/lean over/crouch down 情绪类 ①感激：grateful/thankful/appreciative ②安心：relieved/at ease/peace of mind 【点睛】【高分句型1】The owner watched this scene with a warm smile on his face, relieved and overjoyed that his beloved pet was safe and sound, thanks to these kind-hearted strangers.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】His eyes were filled with tears of gratitude that glistened in the dim light.（运用了that引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025学年度下学期期末质量检测 高二英语 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将本人的姓名、准考证号等考生信息填写在答题卡上，并将条形码准确粘贴在条形码区域内。 2.选择题答案使用2B铅笔填涂，如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号;非选择题答案使用0.5毫米的黑色墨水签字笔书写，字体工整、笔迹清楚。 3.请按照题号在各题的答题区域(黑色线框)内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效。 4.保持卡面清洁，不折叠，不破损。 5.考试结束，将答题卡交回。 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，你都有十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.

Everyone craves a delicious local meal during their journey, as it enriches the travel experience. But without prior consideration or research, you might either pay for a disappointing meal or end up at a generic fast-food place, missing out on the area’s unique dining options. Fortunately, there are handy tricks. Before your trip, utilize websites like Tripadvisor or Yelp. By checking star-ratings and reading customer reviews, you can assess a restaurant’s quality and service. However, sites like Justeat.ie mainly feature take-away joints, overlooking many great sit-down restaurants. When exploring Carlow on foot, venture beyond the main streets and shopping areas. Hidden culinary treasures often lurk (潜藏) in the surrounding lanes, away from the hustle of fast-food outlets. Don’t hesitate to ask the locals, such as hotel staff or those at the farmers market. Their insights can g guide you to the best local spots. The internet also offers local food blogs and individual restaurant websites for menu and gallery viewing. Be spontaneous with smartphone apps, and don’t forget to seek advice from friends who’ve visited before. Just be cautious of ‘positive spiralling’ on review sites. With these steps, you’ll be well-prepared to enjoy Carlow’s gastronomic delights. 1. For travelers new to Carlow, why is it difficult to choose a restaurant? A. There are too many expensive restaurants. B. They are unfamiliar with the area and lack research. C. The local people are not friendly enough to give advice. D. The food quality of all restaurants is similar. 2. Which website might not help you find good sit-down restaurants? A. Tripadvisor. B. Yelp. C. Justeat.ie. D. Local blogs. 3. What should you be careful about when looking for local food places? A. The local food blogs. B. The advice from hotel staff. C. The individual restaurant websites. D. The ‘positive spiralling’ on review sites. B Twelve-year-old Alyssa Faith Fallorina Dean of Prestatyn has spent the past year collecting discarded chip (薯条) bags which she then transforms into foil warming blankets. She donates them, along with toiletries (洗漱用品) and other essentials, to organizations that support people who are homeless throughout Wales and as far as Ukraine. So far, she’s turned over 10,000 chips bags into 200+ blankets! Alyssa told the BBC. “You wouldn’t think you could turn a crisp packet into something so helpful, but homeless people like the blankets because they’re really lightweight and waterproof.” As a budding environmentalist, Alyssa thinks there’s an added bonus to using chip bags. “Crisp packets are really hard to recycle, so this is a new way to stop them going in the bin,” she said. Alyssa’s mom helped her with her initial chip bag gleaning, but now that her story’s out, she’s getting donations from far and wide. For each bag, she starts by opening the packet and washing it (her least favorite part), then she places four packets on a piece of parchment paper (羊皮纸) and irons them so they fuse together. The last step is placing the packets between strips of clear plastic and ironing them to seal it all together. In addition to her environmental and social charity, Alyssa is involved with scholarship and beauty pageants (选美比赛). She was recently crowned Miss Royal UK Pre-Teen for 2022/2023 and has exciting plans to attend the Royal International Pageants in Florida in July 2023. Her family is proud of her achievements and continues to encourage her in all her attempts. This young girl is truly making a difference, and her story is an inspiration to many. 4. What is an additional benefit of using chip bags to make blankets according to Alyssa? A. It is a new way to recycle chip bags. B. It can make homeless people happy. C. It helps her to win beauty pageants. D. It makes her popular on social media. 5. What does the underlined word “gleaning” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Debt. B. Collection. C. Quality. D. Trouble. 6. What can we infer form Alyssa’s family? A. It supports her charitable activities. B. It only helps her because they want her to be famous. C. It is not supportive of her participation in beauty pageants. D. It discourages her from making blankets because it takes too much time. 7. What is the main idea of this text? A. To introduce a new way of recycling chip bags. B. To describe the process of making blankets from chip bags. C. To encourage more people to donate to homeless people. D. To introduce Alyssa’s good deeds and achievements. C Artificial intelligence is bringing revolutionary changes to the Chinese film industry, thoroughly transforming the movie-making process from the initial concept to the final post-production stage. A prime example is veteran director Yu Baimei’s short film. It gives a modern makeover to the well-known Chinese folklore hero Zhong Kui, who is traditionally pictured as a crimson-robed warrior battling evil. Yu, 49, said, “I’ve always been captivated by Zhong Kui’s humorous, heroic traits that are so familiar to us. But he’s never been presented on screen in a satisfying way.” With AI assistance, Yu crafted a two-minute short, “Bai Gui Wu Rao”. In it, Zhong Kui strides through a moonlit, misty forest, sword in hand, facing off against supernatural foes like a menacing, red-eyed rabbit. Then, the scene switches to a modern bedroom where a young man sleeps, phone notifications flickering. The forest fight turns out to be his dream, with Zhong Kui as his digital “guardian spirit”, and a witty message highlights the need for digital downtime. This and eight other directors’ AI shorts premiered in December 2024 at the China National Film Museum and were up to the permanent collection, signifying a milestone for Chinese cinema. This mirrors the wider trend of AI’s growing footprint in filmmaking. Renowned director Zhang Yimou, while adapting “The Three-Body Problem”, set up an AI team, seeing it as a learning curve. Big studios and platforms like Bona Film Group and Yangshipin are also exploiting AI for creative works. However, there’s ongoing discussion. French filmmaker Luc Besson called AI a “valuable tool” with limits. Chinese filmmakers concur that human creativity is irreplaceable yet stress the need to quickly master AI. Hollywood, too, is on a similar path, with Lionsgate partnering with an AI startup and James Cameron joining an AI board. According to a 2024 report, 16.4% of Chinese were using generative AI products by June. “AI will soon be part of daily life,” said Yu. These directors have set a precedent, suggesting that future filmmaking could be more accessible, not just for professionals. 8. What did Yu Baimei think about the previous portrayals of Zhong Kui on screen? A. They were too humorous. B. They didn’t do Zhong Kui justice. C. They were very innovative. D. They focused too much on his heroic traits. 9. The fact that Zhang Yimou set up an AI team while adapting “The Three-Body Problem” implies _______. A. he didn’t trust his own creative ability. B. he was forced to do so by the film studio. C. he recognized the potential of AI in film production. D. he wanted to rely completely on AI for the adaptation. 10.

D In the United States alone, over 100 million cell-phones are thrown away each year. Cell-phones are part of a growing mountain of electronic waste like computers and personal digital assistants. The electronic waste stream is increasing three times faster than traditional garbage as a whole. Electronic devices contain valuable metals such as gold and silver. A Swiss study reported that while the weight of electronic goods represented by precious metals was relatively small in comparison to total waste, the concentration (含量) of gold and other precious metals was higher in so-called e-waste than in naturally occurring minerals. Electronic wastes also contain many poisonous metals. Even when the machines are recycled and the harmful metals removed, the recycling process often is carried out in poor countries, in practically uncontrolled ways which allow many poisonous substances to escape into the environment. Creating products out of raw materials creates much more waste material, up to 100 times more, than the material contained in the finished products. Consider again the cell-phone ,and imagine the mines that produced those metals, the factories needed to make the box and packaging (包装) it came in. Many wastes produced in the producing process are harmful as well. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes that most waste is dangerous in that “the production, distribution, and use of products — as well as management of the resulting waste — all result in greenhouse gas release.” Individuals can reduce their contribution by creating less waste at the start -for instance, buying reusable products and recycling. In many countries the concept of extended producer responsibility is being considered or has been put in place as an incentive (动机) for reducing waste. If producers are required to take back packaging they use to sell their products, would they reduce the packaging in the first place? Governments’ incentive to require producers to take responsibility for the packaging they produce is usually based on money. Why, they ask, should cities or towns be responsible for paying to deal with the bubble wrap (气泡垫) that encased your television? From the governments’ point of view, a primary goal of laws requiring extended producer responsibility is to transfer both the costs and the physical responsibility of waste management from the government and tax-payers back to the producers. 12. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph? A to show the wastefulness of Americans. B. to draw attention to the e-waste problem. C. to highlight the importance of recycling cell-phones. D. to compare the amount of e-waste with that of traditional garbage. 13. What can we infer from the passage? A. Poor countries should stop recycling e-waste. B. Recycling e-waste is completely harmless to the environment. C. The current recycling methods of e-waste need to be improved. D. E-waste is not worth recycling because of its harmful substances. 14. The concept of extended producer responsibility is mainly to make producers . A. pay more taxes to the government B. reduce the production of electronic products C. produce more environmentally friendly products D. take more responsibility for waste management 15 What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The various types of e-waste. B. The importance of recycling e-waste. C. The problems and solutions of e-waste. D. The process of producing e-waste. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Tips to Limit Phone Use During the Holidays Holidays are a time to come together and make memories.____16____ “Screens can be a barrier to true connection during the holidays,” says Hansa Bhargava, MD, an Atlanta-based pediatrician and spokesperson for the Center for Excellence in Media and Mental Health at the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Brooklyn had run away from its temporary caretaker and was trapped on the frozen lake. The puppy’s owner, upon learning that Brooklyn was lost and trapped on the icy lake, rushed to the scene in great anxiety. His heart was gripped tightly, and his mind was filled with all kinds of terrifying images: Brooklyn falling into an ice hole, struggling in the freezing lake water, or freezing due to being exposed to the cold for a long time... He looked at the tiny figure on the lake with a face full of worry, his eyes filled with self-blame and anxiety, and he kept shouting Brooklyn’s name, hoping for a response. The police tried to lure Brooklyn back to the shore with chicken, but the little guy wasn’t biting. At that moment, Kishan Patel, who lived by the lake and was also a dog owner, saw the situation. Seeing the police’s efforts to get Brooklyn back safely, he wondered if he could help. Patel thought of using his drone(无人机) to scare the puppy off the ice. He said in a statement, “I know my dog is afraid of drones, so I thought I could use it to scare this dog off the ice.” However, Brooklyn wasn’t scared by the drone. Patel said that a police officer suggested tying a piece of chicken to the drone to lure the puppy. Brooklyn was indeed attracted, but when it saw the people around, it ran back to the center of the lake. As night fell, WABC reported that Patel had located the puppy using his drone. The police then used weights to test the thickness of the ice. After ensuring it was safe, a police officer successfully brought Brooklyn back to land. 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。 Paragraph 1: Brooklyn was finally rescued and brought ashore. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Ensuring the puppy was out of danger, the dog’s owner turned to the police and Patel. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
