I always drew funny pictures on my homework. In high school, I realized art was the only career I wanted. This led me to study illustration at a design college in California. Though I knew I loved drawing, I wasn’t sure which art job to choose. But I had a professor in school who encouraged me to take up storyboarding, which is actually the closest we can get to comic-book drawing. And that’s how I started. I graduated, and then I landed my first job at Nickelodeon, a famous kids’ TV company. I didn’t really know much about animation (动画) until I entered college. I was taking painting classes, and figure drawing classes—things like that. But within the illustration major, we had different subcategories. One of them was entertainment and arts, and they’d teach everything about animation—like working in feature films, designing characters, and writing a story. I decided that I really liked drawing sequential (连环的) cartoons. I wanted to tell a story, and give life to my characters. At the beginning, it was pen and pencil on paper. But the more you enter professional life, the more you can realize that many people prefer drawing with the computer’s help. In my first job, I was actually a background painter. And this was a really special job, because we actually got to paint on traditional paper instead of on the computer. We got to paint with actual paintbrushes, inks and watercolors. Drawing characters is my favorite part. Changing faces to look silly or emotional makes cartoons lively. I enjoy showing feelings through small details like eye shapes or smiles. Before working, I thought cartoon artists worked alone, but Nickelodeon changed that idea. There, I met many friendly artists who loved cartoons as much as I did. We worked together, sharing ideas like “Maybe a darker blue sky would make this scene sadder.” I learned cartoon-making isn’t just about drawing skills. 4. What made the author choose his art job? A. His teacher’s advice. B. His childhood hobby. C. His major at college. D. His drawing skills. 5. What did the author find in college? A. His skill in feature films. B. His talent for figure drawing. C. His love for painting classes. D. His interest in animated storytelling. 6. How did the author like his first job? A. It was just a waste of time. B. It was a hands-on experience. C. It made him recognize cartoons. D. It taught computer-made animation. 7. What lesson did the author learn about cartoon-making at Nickelodeon? A. Teamwork also matters. B. Hard work always pays off. C. Hard time tests friendship. D. Details make the difference. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为记叙文，主要讲述作者自幼爱卡通，在教授建议下从事分镜脚本绘制绘制，于Nickelodeon工作时领悟到动画制作中团队合作的重要性。 4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But I had a professor in school who encouraged me to take up storyboarding, which is actually the closest we can get to comic-book drawing. And that’s how I started.(但我在学校里有一位教授，他鼓励我从事分镜脚本绘制工作，实际上这是与漫画绘制最为接近的领域了。我就是这样开启（这一事业）的。)”可知，作者选择艺术工作的直接原因是教授的建议。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I decided that I really liked drawing sequential (连环的) cartoons. I wanted to tell a story, and give life to my characters.(我认定自己真的很喜欢画连环漫画。我想讲述故事，赋予我笔下的角色以生命力)”可知，作者在大学中发现了自己对动画故事讲述的兴趣。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In my first job, I was actually a background painter. And this was a really special job, because we actually got to paint on traditional paper instead of on the computer. We got to paint with actual paintbrushes, inks and watercolors.(在我的第一份工作中，我实际上是一名背景画家。这是一项非常特殊的工作，因为我们实际上是在传统的纸上画画，而不是在电脑上。我们得用真正的画笔、墨水和水彩画画。)”可知，作者的第一份工作需要使用传统绘画工具，属于手工实践体验。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Before working, I thought cartoon artists worked alone, but Nickelodeon changed that idea. There, I met many friendly artists who loved cartoons as much as I did. We worked together, sharing ideas like “Maybe a darker blue sky would make this scene sadder.” I learned cartoon-making isn’t just about drawing skills.(在工作之前，我以为卡通艺术家是独自工作的，但 Nickelodeon改变了这种想法。在那里，我遇到了许多和我一样喜欢卡通的友好艺术家。我们一起工作，分享了这样的想法：“也许深蓝色的天空会让这一幕更悲伤”我学到了卡通制作不仅仅是绘画技巧。)”可知，作者在Nickelodeon学到了团队合作的重要性。故选A项。 C Measles (麻疹) is a very dangerous disease that has troubled people for over a thousand years. Adam Ratner, a doctor in New York, has something to say about it. In his new book, Booster Shots, Ratner argues measles is the most infectious disease we know. When fewer people get vaccinated (接种疫苗), measles outbreaks happen first. Then, other diseases that can be prevented by vaccines might also start spreading. In February, there were small measles outbreaks in Texas, Georgia, and other states in America this year. In 2023, over 107,000 children died from measles worldwide, mostly kids under five who were not vaccinated. Last year, the U. S. had 284 measles cases, the highest number in five years. This is because vaccination rates for measles in kindergartens have dropped below the 95% needed to stop outbreaks. Before the measles vaccine was created in the early 1960s, it killed hundreds of children in the U. S. every year. Ratner thinks the success of vaccines has made some people underestimate measles. With vaccine hesitation on the rise, he says, “We tend to forget now, looking back, how bad measles was.” Ratner says the development of the measles vaccine was just one step in controlling the disease in the U. S. The other was public policy that made vaccination affordable and mandatory (强制的). Ratner gives an example in the book. In 1970, there was a big measles outbreak in Texarkana, a place that is located where Arkansas and Texas meet. Arkansas had a school vaccine mandate, but Texas didn’t. Most of the cases were in Texas, where kids weren’t vaccinated. Ratner says the most important conclusion from his book is that our public health successes are not assured. “We live in a society now where child deaths are rare, where diseases like measles are rare, and where when kids are born, you can expect that they will likely grow up happy and healthy,” he says. “That is not a certainty.” 8. What can be learnt about measles in paragraph 2? A. It’s the deadliest childhood disease. B. It spreads faster than other diseases. C. It makes a comeback in America. D. It can be controlled without vaccines. 9. What may Ratner suggest according to paragraph 3? A. Putting off the age of measles vaccination. B. Keeping the harm of measles in mind. C. Increasing vaccine research funds. D. Strengthening public health laws. 10. Why does Ratner mention the measles outbreak in Texarkana in his book? A. To prove the public policy is important. B. To compare state outbreak responses. C. To highlight vaccine effectiveness. D. To illustrate state cooperation is necessary. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To promote a new book. B. To discuss vaccine history. C. To explain health policies. D. To raise measles awareness. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章以Adam Ratner的新书《Booster Shots》为切入点，客观介绍了麻疹的危险性、当前在美国的流行现状、疫苗接种率下降的影响，以及公共政策在疾病防控中的作用。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In 2023, over 107,000 children died from measles worldwide, mostly kids under five who were not vaccinated. Last year, the U. S. had 284 measles cases, the highest number in five years.(2023年，全球有超过107000名儿童死于麻疹，其中大多数是未接种疫苗的五岁以下儿童。去年，美国有284例麻疹病例，是五年来的最高数字。)”可知，麻疹正在美国卷土重来。故选C项。 9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“With vaccine hesitation on the rise, he says, ‘We tend to forget now, looking back, how bad measles was.’(随着疫苗犹豫情绪上升，他说：‘如今我们往往忘记了麻疹曾有多可怕。’)”可推断，Ratner建议人们铭记麻疹的危害。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The other was public policy that made vaccination affordable and mandatory (强制的). Ratner gives an example in the book. In 1970, there was a big measles outbreak in Texarkana, a place that is located where Arkansas and Texas meet. Arkansas had a school vaccine mandate, but Texas didn’t. Most of the cases were in Texas, where kids weren’t vaccinated.(另一个是使疫苗接种变得负担得起和强制性的公共政策。拉特纳在书中举了一个例子。1970年，阿肯色州和得克萨斯州交界处的特克萨卡纳爆发了一场大规模的麻疹疫情。阿肯色州有学校疫苗强制令，但德克萨斯州没有。大多数病例发生在德克萨斯州，那里的孩子没有接种疫苗。)”可知，Ratner提及该案例是为了证明公共政策的重要性。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文特别是最后一段“Ratner says the most important conclusion from his book is that our public health successes are not assured. “We live in a society now where child deaths are rare, where diseases like measles are rare, and where when kids are born, you can expect that they will likely grow up happy and healthy,” he says. “That is not a certainty.”(Ratner说，他书中最重要的结论是，我们的公共卫生成功没有保证。他说：‘我们现在生活在一个儿童死亡罕见、麻疹等疾病罕见的社会，当孩子出生时，你可以期待他们可能会快乐健康地成长。这不是肯定的。’)”可知，全文通过引用Ratner的书和数据，强调麻疹的危险性、疫苗接种的重要性及公众忽视的风险，核心目的是提高对麻疹的认知。故选D项。 D Over 6,000 artists are objecting to Christie’s upcoming AI art auction (拍卖) titled Augmented Intelligence. The auction claims to explore “human agency in the age of AI,” but critics argue it supports tools that steal from human creativity. In an open letter, artists say AI companies are wrong to train models on copyrighted (版权) artwork without permission or payment, creating products that compete with human creators. The letter warns Christie’s that auctioning AI art “rewards mass theft” and demands the event’s cancellation if the auction house respects artists’ rights However, participating artists defend their work. Refik Anadol, a Turkish-American artist, doesn’t agree with critics. His piece ISS Dreams, which is expected to fetch between $150,000 and $200,000 at the auction, is the result of AI trained on 1.2 million images from the International Space Station. The images are all part of publicly accessible NASA datasets that have been used widely by artists for many decades. Christie’s art director Nicole Sales Giles states AI improves human creativity but isn’t a replacement for it, calling the auction an exploration of “what’s possible beyond human limits alone.” Critics highlight ethical (伦理) concerns. Ed Newton-Rex, CEO of nonprofit Fairly Trained, estimates most auction works likely use AI trained on unauthorized art. He questions why Christie’s profits from sales that make artists poor after stealing works from them, asking them to expunge works with unfair data sources. The debate reflects broader tensions. While AI art dates to the 1960s with Harold Cohen’s AARON program, modern tools like Midjourney intensify concerns about originality. British artist Mat Dryhurst argues the focus should be on controlling companies, not blaming artists experimenting with new tools. As AI art enters high-value auctions, this brings up urgent questions: Can machines really work together with humans, or are they taking advantage of creators? Can ethical rules safeguard artists and still enable innovation? The event held by Christie’s has turned into a critical point in this worldwide consideration of art’s future. 12. What does the open letter want to do? A Back AI companies’ growth. B. Stop the auction event. C Promote human creativity. D. Reward artistic innovation. 13. What do we know about ISS Dreams? A. It uses unauthorized artwork. B. It comes from private datasets. C. It avoids NASA’s public data. D. It relies on open-source images. 14. What does the underlined word “expunge” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Remove. B. Improve. C. Protect. D. Replace. 15. What’s the best title for the text? A. AI Art’s Rapid Technical Growth. B. Art Auctions: A Historical Overview. C. AI Art: Ethics and Creative Progress. D. NASA’s Role in Modern Creativity. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了针对佳士得即将举办的名为“增强智能”的人工智能艺术拍卖会的争议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The letter warns Christie’s that auctioning AI art "rewards mass theft" and demands the event’s cancellation if the auction house respects artists’ rights (公开信警告佳士得拍卖人工智能艺术品是 “奖励大规模盗窃”，并要求如果拍卖行尊重艺术家的权利，就取消该活动)”可知，这封公开信的目的是阻止这次拍卖活动。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段 ““His piece ISS Dreams, which is expected to fetch between $150,000 and $200,000 at the auction, is the result of AI trained on 1.2 million images from the International Space Station. The images are all part of publicly accessible NASA datasets that have been used widely by artists for many decades.”(他的作品《国际空间站之梦》预计在拍卖会上能拍出 15 万至 20 万美元的价格，它是人工智能对来自国际空间站的 120 万张图像进行训练的结果。这些图像都是美国国家航空航天局（NASA）公开可获取的数据集的一部分，几十年来一直被艺术家们广泛使用)”可知，《国际空间站之梦》依赖于开源图像。故选D。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段“Ed Newton-Rex, CEO of nonprofit Fairly Trained, estimates most auction works likely use AI trained on unauthorized art. He questions why Christie’s profits from sales that make artists poor after stealing works from them, asking them to expunge works with unfair data sources.(非营利组织 “公平训练” 的首席执行官埃德・牛顿 - 雷克斯估计，大多数拍卖作品可能使用了基于未经授权的艺术作品训练的人工智能。他质疑为什么佳士得在从艺术家那里窃取作品后，还能从让艺术家陷入贫困的销售中获利，并要求他们expunge那些使用不公平数据源的作品)”可知，因为这些作品使用了不公平数据源，所以牛顿 - 雷克斯要求佳士得把这些作品清除掉，“expunge” 意思是 “Remove（去除；清除）”。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。主要讲述了针对佳士得即将举办的名为 “增强智能” 的人工智能艺术拍卖会，超6000名艺术家表示反对，他们认为人工智能公司在未经许可或未支付报酬的情况下使用受版权保护的艺术品来训练模型，而佳士得拍卖人工智能艺术品是在 “奖励大规模盗窃”，同时文章也介绍了参与拍卖的艺术家和佳士得方面的观点，以及该事件所引发的关于人工智能艺术的伦理和创新的广泛讨论。结合最后一段“As AI art enters high-value auctions, this brings up urgent questions: Can machines really work together with humans, or are they taking advantage of creators? Can ethical rules safeguard artists and still enable innovation? The event held by Christie’s has turned into a critical point in this worldwide consideration of art’s future.(随着人工智能艺术品进入高价值拍卖市场，这带来了一个紧迫的问题：机器真的能与人类合作吗，还是它们在利用创造者？道德规则能在保护艺术家的同时还能促进创新吗？佳士得举办的这次活动已经成为全球对艺术未来思考的一个关键点)”可知，短文的最佳标题文“人工智能艺术：伦理与创作进步”。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There’s an old saying about receiving a gift: It’s the thought that counts. That means that even if you don’t like what someone has given you, it’s best to focus on the fact that they thought of you and took the time to find you a present. ____16____ Maybe it’s a book you’ve read. Or it’s a sweater that has a strange pattern or the wrong size for you. It’s definitely not your style. ____17____ It will take up space in your home. Some people think it’s OK for you to pass the gift to someone who will appreciate it. ____18____ But others say that’s rude. They think the original giver might feel bad if they find it out. What do you think? Is it bad manners to regift a present? ____19____ It shows little thought or care. And there’s always a chance that the person who gave it to you in the first place will ask if you like it or want to see it. What will you do if you give it away? If you tell the truth, you’re being unkind. And if you don’t, you’ll have to lie. On the other hand, if it’s truly the thought that counts when it comes to gifts, then it doesn’t matter what happens to the item itself. It’s still special, whether it stays in your closet or gets rewrapped and given to someone else. ____20____ It could be really great for another person, like a friend, family member, or child who wouldn’t otherwise receive a present. A. If you keep it, it will just go to waste. B. Is it worse than keeping an unwanted gift? C. Regifting misses the true purpose of giving a present. D. They say it is better to let the gift be useful to someone. E. A meaningful regifting is incomplete without a heartfelt message. F. But after you’ve thanked them, what do you do with the gift itself? G. You may not want or need what you received, but it can still be valuable. 【答案】16. F 17. A 18. D 19. C 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章探讨收到不喜欢的礼物是否该转送，阐述两种观点，即转送可能失礼或让礼物更有价值。 【16题详解】 由上文“There’s an old saying about receiving a gift: It’s the thought that counts. That means that even if you don’t like what someone has given you, it’s best to focus on the fact that they thought of you and took the time to find you a present.(有一句关于收到礼物的古老谚语：心意最重要。这意味着即使你不喜欢别人给你的礼物，最好关注他们想到你并花时间为你找礼物的事实。)”可知，此处需从“强调送礼物的心意”过渡到“礼物的实际处理问题”。F项But after you’ve thanked them, what do you do with the gift itself?(但在你感谢他们之后，你会如何处理礼物本身呢？)通过“But”转折，以疑问句引出核心话题，其中“thanked them”呼应上文“focus on the thought”，“what do you do with the gift”则自然衔接下文“不喜欢的礼物如何处置”，形成“情感层面→实际操作”的逻辑递进。故选F项。 【17题详解】 由上文“Maybe it’s a book you’ve read. Or it’s a sweater that has a strange pattern or the wrong size for you. It’s definitely not your style.(也许是一本你读过书，或者是一件图案奇怪、尺码不合适的毛衣，绝对不是你的风格。)”及下文“It will take up space in your home.(它会占用你家里的空间。)”可知，此处需说明“保留不喜欢的礼物”的双重弊端。A项If you keep it, it will just go to waste.(如果你保留它，它只会被浪费。)中的“keep it”对应“保留礼物”的行为，“go to waste”既承接“非个人风格”（无法使用），又引出“占用空间”的后果，通过条件句强化“保留 = 浪费”的逻辑，为后文“转送礼物”的讨论做铺垫。故选A项。 【18题详解】 由上文“Some people think it’s OK for you to pass the gift to someone who will appreciate it.(有些人认为你把礼物送给会欣赏它的人是可以的。)”可知，此处需进一步解释该观点的合理性。D项They say it is better to let the gift be useful to someone.(他们说让礼物对某人有用更好。) 中的“They say”明确指代前文“some people”，“useful to someone”将“转送”的行为转化为“实现礼物价值”的逻辑，与后文“others say that’s rude”形成对立观点，通过对比突出讨论的争议性。故选D项。 【19题详解】 由下文“It shows little thought or care. And there’s always a chance that the person who gave it to you in the first place will ask if you like it or want to see it.(这显示出很少的思考或关心，而且送你礼物的人总有可能问你是否喜欢或想看看它。)”可知，此处需总述“转送礼物”的负面评价。C项Regifting misses the true purpose of giving a present.(转送礼物错过了送礼物的真正目的。)中的“Regifting”直接点明话题，“misses the true purpose”统领后文“缺乏思考”和“可能暴露谎言”的具体弊端，从“送礼物的初衷是表达心意”的角度批判转送行为，形成“论点→论据”的论证结构。故选C项。 【20题详解】 由上文“On the other hand, if it’s truly the thought that counts when it comes to gifts, then it doesn’t matter what happens to the item itself. It’s still special, whether it stays in your closet or gets rewrapped and given to someone else.(另一方面，如果说到礼物真的是心意最重要，那么物品本身发生了什么并不重要。无论它待在你的衣柜里还是被重新包装送给别人，它仍然很特别。)”及下文 “It could be really great for another person, like a friend, family member, or child who wouldn’t otherwise receive a present.(它可能对另一个人来说真的很棒，比如朋友、家人或 otherwise 不会收到礼物的孩子。)”可知，此处需衔接“礼物心意不变”与“转送他人的价值”。G项You may not want or need what you received, but it can still be valuable.(你可能不想要或不需要你收到的东西，但它仍然有价值。) 通过“but”转折，前半句承认“个人不需要”，后半句以“valuable”强调礼物对他人的实用性，既呼应上文“the thought counts(心意让礼物有价值)”，又引出下文“对他人有帮助”的具体阐述，形成“让步→转折→递进”的逻辑链条。故选G项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Kenzie McAllister is a stay-at-home mom from Boise, Idaho.

His parents had gone to a family reunion, and his older sister was at a friend’s house. Jake was only 9, but his parents trusted him to take care of himself for a few hours. He was sitting on the sofa, watching TV, when he heard a strange noise coming from the kitchen. Jake listened carefully. It sounded like someone was moving around in the kitchen. His heart started to race. He thought about calling his parents, but they were one hour away. He didn’t know what to do, but he knew he had to be brave. Jake quietly walked to the kitchen, trying to see if he could discover what was going on. He saw the back door was slightly open. That was strange because he remembered closing it before his parents left. He slowly opened the door and saw a small creature running around the kitchen. It was a raccoon (浣熊)! Jake’s heart missed a beat. He had never seen a raccoon up close before. He had heard that raccoons could misbehave and sometimes even be dangerous. But this one looked scared and confused. It had probably come in through the back door and couldn’t find its way out. Jake felt a mixture of fear and sympathy (怜悯). He knew he had to do something to help it, but he wasn’t sure how. He decided to try and guide the raccoon out of the house. He opened the back door wide and started making gentle noises to encourage the raccoon to leave. “Shhh, it’s okay. Go outside,” he whispered hoping the raccoon would understand. But the raccoon just stared at him with its big, curious eyes and didn’t move. And then, it climbed up onto the kitchen counter and started searching through a drawer, probably looking for food. Jake’s heart raced even faster. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 He didn’t want the raccoon to make a mess or get hurt. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, Jake saw a can of cat food on the kitchen shelf and had an idea. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 He didn’t want the raccoon to make a mess or get hurt. Jake knew he needed to act quickly. He tried to approach the raccoon slowly, not wanting to startle it. As he got closer, the raccoon hissed slightly, showing its teeth. Jake froze in his tracks, his heart pounding in his chest. But he reminded himself that the raccoon was just scared. He needed to find a way to calm it down. Suddenly, Jake saw a can of cat food on the kitchen shelf and had an idea. He quietly grabbed the can and opened it, the smell of the food filling the air. The raccoon’s nose twitched, and it turned to look at Jake. Jake slowly placed the open can of cat food near the back door. Then he stepped back, watching closely. The raccoon cautiously climbed down from the counter and moved towards the food. As it ate, Jake gently shooed it towards the open door. Finally, the raccoon finished the food and slipped out of the door, disappearing into the backyard. Jake let out a sigh of relief. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述一个周六上午，9 岁的Jake独自在家时听到厨房传来奇怪声响，发现一只浣熊从开着的后门进入厨房。Jake既害怕又同情浣熊，试图引导它出门，但浣熊不听从。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他不希望这只浣熊把东西弄得乱七八糟，也不希望它受伤。”可知，第一段可描写Jake 担心浣熊捣乱或受伤后采取的行动。他慢慢靠近浣熊，却遭浣熊威胁，此时他意识到要让浣熊冷静下来，突出Jake 的勇敢及面临的困难。 ②由第二段首句内容“突然，杰克看到厨房架子上有一罐猫食，然后想出了一个主意。”可知，第二段可描写Jake看到猫食罐头后的做法。他用猫食吸引浣熊靠近后门，浣熊吃完离开，Jake松了口气，体现Jake 成功解决问题。 2.续写线索：Jake 靠近浣熊受阻 —— 看到猫食罐头 —— 用猫食吸引浣熊 —— 浣熊吃完离开 ——Jake松气 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①靠近：approach /get close to ②打开：open /unlatch ③消失：disappear /vanish 情绪类： ①害怕的：scared /frightened ②松气： sigh of relief /relieved /relaxed 【点睛】【高分句型 1】As he got closer, the raccoon hissed slightly, showing its teeth.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句和现在分词短语 showing its teeth 作伴随状语 ） 【高分句型 2】As it ate, Jake gently shooed it towards the open door.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句 ） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025学年海南高二年级阶段性教学检测（三） 英语 本试卷满分150分，测试时间120分钟，共8页。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

I always drew funny pictures on my homework. In high school, I realized art was the only career I wanted. This led me to study illustration at a design college in California. Though I knew I loved drawing, I wasn’t sure which art job to choose. But I had a professor in school who encouraged me to take up storyboarding, which is actually the closest we can get to comic-book drawing. And that’s how I started. I graduated, and then I landed my first job at Nickelodeon, a famous kids’ TV company. I didn’t really know much about animation (动画) until I entered college. I was taking painting classes, and figure drawing classes—things like that. But within the illustration major, we had different subcategories. One of them was entertainment and arts, and they’d teach everything about animation—like working in feature films, designing characters, and writing a story. I decided that I really liked drawing sequential (连环的) cartoons. I wanted to tell a story, and give life to my characters. At the beginning, it was pen and pencil on paper. But the more you enter professional life, the more you can realize that many people prefer drawing with the computer’s help. In my first job, I was actually a background painter. And this was a really special job, because we actually got to paint on traditional paper instead of on the computer. We got to paint with actual paintbrushes, inks and watercolors. Drawing characters is my favorite part. Changing faces to look silly or emotional makes cartoons lively. I enjoy showing feelings through small details like eye shapes or smiles. Before working, I thought cartoon artists worked alone, but Nickelodeon changed that idea. There, I met many friendly artists who loved cartoons as much as I did. We worked together, sharing ideas like “Maybe a darker blue sky would make this scene sadder.” I learned cartoon-making isn’t just about drawing skills. 4. What made the author choose his art job? A. His teacher’s advice. B. His childhood hobby. C. His major at college. D. His drawing skills. 5. What did the author find in college? A. His skill in feature films. B. His talent for figure drawing. C. His love for painting classes. D. His interest in animated storytelling. 6. How did the author like his first job? A. It was just a waste of time. B. It was a hands-on experience. C. It made him recognize cartoons. D. It taught computer-made animation. 7. What lesson did the author learn about cartoon-making at Nickelodeon? A. Teamwork also matters. B. Hard work always pays off. C. Hard time tests friendship. D. Details make the difference. C Measles (麻疹) is a very dangerous disease that has troubled people for over a thousand years. Adam Ratner, a doctor in New York, has something to say about it. In his new book, Booster Shots, Ratner argues measles is the most infectious disease we know. When fewer people get vaccinated (接种疫苗), measles outbreaks happen first. Then, other diseases that can be prevented by vaccines might also start spreading. In February, there were small measles outbreaks in Texas, Georgia, and other states in America this year. In 2023, over 107,000 children died from measles worldwide, mostly kids under five who were not vaccinated. Last year, the U. S. had 284 measles cases, the highest number in five years. This is because vaccination rates for measles in kindergartens have dropped below the 95% needed to stop outbreaks. Before the measles vaccine was created in the early 1960s, it killed hundreds of children in the U. S. every year. Ratner thinks the success of vaccines has made some people underestimate measles. With vaccine hesitation on the rise, he says, “We tend to forget now, looking back, how bad measles was.” Ratner says the development of the measles vaccine was just one step in controlling the disease in the U. S. The other was public policy that made vaccination affordable and mandatory (强制的). Ratner gives an example in the book. In 1970, there was a big measles outbreak in Texarkana, a place that is located where Arkansas and Texas meet. Arkansas had a school vaccine mandate, but Texas didn’t. Most of the cases were in Texas, where kids weren’t vaccinated. Ratner says the most important conclusion from his book is that our public health successes are not assured. “We live in a society now where child deaths are rare, where diseases like measles are rare, and where when kids are born, you can expect that they will likely grow up happy and healthy,” he says. “That is not a certainty.” 8. What can be learnt about measles in paragraph 2? A. It’s the deadliest childhood disease. B. It spreads faster than other diseases. C. It makes a comeback in America. D. It can be controlled without vaccines. 9. What may Ratner suggest according to paragraph 3? A. Putting off the age of measles vaccination. B. Keeping the harm of measles in mind. C. Increasing vaccine research funds. D. Strengthening public health laws. 10. Why does Ratner mention the measles outbreak in Texarkana in his book? A. To prove the public policy is important. B. To compare state outbreak responses. C. To highlight vaccine effectiveness. D. To illustrate state cooperation is necessary. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To promote a new book. B. To discuss vaccine history. C. To explain health policies. D. To raise measles awareness. D Over 6,000 artists are objecting to Christie’s upcoming AI art auction (拍卖) titled Augmented Intelligence. The auction claims to explore “human agency in the age of AI,” but critics argue it supports tools that steal from human creativity. In an open letter, artists say AI companies are wrong to train models on copyrighted (版权) artwork without permission or payment, creating products that compete with human creators. The letter warns Christie’s that auctioning AI art “rewards mass theft” and demands the event’s cancellation if the auction house respects artists’ rights However, participating artists defend their work. Refik Anadol, a Turkish-American artist, doesn’t agree with critics. His piece ISS Dreams, which is expected to fetch between $150,000 and $200,000 at the auction, is the result of AI trained on 1.2 million images from the International Space Station. The images are all part of publicly accessible NASA datasets that have been used widely by artists for many decades. Christie’s art director Nicole Sales Giles states AI improves human creativity but isn’t a replacement for it, calling the auction an exploration of “what’s possible beyond human limits alone.” Critics highlight ethical (伦理) concerns. Ed Newton-Rex, CEO of nonprofit Fairly Trained, estimates most auction works likely use AI trained on unauthorized art. He questions why Christie’s profits from sales that make artists poor after stealing works from them, asking them to expunge works with unfair data sources. The debate reflects broader tensions. While AI art dates to the 1960s with Harold Cohen’s AARON program, modern tools like Midjourney intensify concerns about originality. British artist Mat Dryhurst argues the focus should be on controlling companies, not blaming artists experimenting with new tools. As AI art enters high-value auctions, this brings up urgent questions: Can machines really work together with humans, or are they taking advantage of creators? Can ethical rules safeguard artists and still enable innovation? The event held by Christie’s has turned into a critical point in this worldwide consideration of art’s future. 12. What does the open letter want to do? A. Back AI companies’ growth. B. Stop the auction event. C. Promote human creativity. D. Reward artistic innovation. 13. What do we know about ISS Dreams? A. It uses unauthorized artwork. B. It comes from private datasets. C. It avoids NASA’s public data. D. It relies on open-source images. 14. What does the underlined word “expunge” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Remove. B. Improve. C. Protect. D. Replace. 15. What’s the best title for the text? A. AI Art’s Rapid Technical Growth. B. Art Auctions: A Historical Overview. C. AI Art: Ethics and Creative Progress. D. NASA’s Role in Modern Creativity. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There’s an old saying about receiving a gift: It’s the thought that counts. That means that even if you don’t like what someone has given you, it’s best to focus on the fact that they thought of you and took the time to find you a present. ____16____ Maybe it’s a book you’ve read. Or it’s a sweater that has a strange pattern or the wrong size for you. It’s definitely not your style. ____17____ It will take up space in your home. Some people think it’s OK for you to pass the gift to someone who will appreciate it. ____18____ But others say that’s rude. They think the original giver might feel bad if they find it out. What do you think? Is it bad manners to regift a present? ____19____ It shows little thought or care. And there’s always a chance that the person who gave it to you in the first place will ask if you like it or want to see it. What will you do if you give it away? If you tell the truth, you’re being unkind. And if you don’t, you’ll have to lie. On the other hand, if it’s truly the thought that counts when it comes to gifts, then it doesn’t matter what happens to the item itself. It’s still special, whether it stays in your closet or gets rewrapped and given to someone else. ____20____ It could be really great for another person, like a friend, family member, or child who wouldn’t otherwise receive a present. A. If you keep it, it will just go to waste. B. Is it worse than keeping an unwanted gift? C. Regifting misses the true purpose of giving a present. D. They say it is better to let the gift be useful to someone. E. A meaningful regifting is incomplete without a heartfelt message. F. But after you’ve thanked them, what do you do with the gift itself? G. You may not want or need what you received, but it can still be valuable. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Kenzie McAllister is a stay-at-home mom from Boise, Idaho.

His parents had gone to a family reunion, and his older sister was at a friend’s house. Jake was only 9, but his parents trusted him to take care of himself for a few hours. He was sitting on the sofa, watching TV, when he heard a strange noise coming from the kitchen. Jake listened carefully. It sounded like someone was moving around in the kitchen. His heart started to race. He thought about calling his parents, but they were one hour away. He didn’t know what to do, but he knew he had to be brave. Jake quietly walked to the kitchen, trying to see if he could discover what was going on. He saw the back door was slightly open. That was strange because he remembered closing it before his parents left. He slowly opened the door and saw a small creature running around the kitchen. It was a raccoon (浣熊)! Jake’s heart missed a beat. He had never seen a raccoon up close before. He had heard that raccoons could misbehave and sometimes even be dangerous. But this one looked scared and confused. It had probably come in through the back door and couldn’t find its way out. Jake felt a mixture of fear and sympathy (怜悯). He knew he had to do something to help it, but he wasn’t sure how. He decided to try and guide the raccoon out of the house. He opened the back door wide and started making gentle noises to encourage the raccoon to leave. “Shhh, it’s okay. Go outside,” he whispered hoping the raccoon would understand. But the raccoon just stared at him with its big, curious eyes and didn’t move. And then, it climbed up onto the kitchen counter and started searching through a drawer, probably looking for food. Jake’s heart raced even faster. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 He didn’t want the raccoon to make a mess or get hurt. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, Jake saw a can of cat food on the kitchen shelf and had an idea. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
