By August 1944, over two million soldiers had landed in northern France to fight the Germans. Their story is well-known. Much less well-known is the crucial role hundreds of thousands of women from all walks of life played in this epic military mission. 29-year-old Welsh nurse Iris Bower was one of the first British women to arrive in Normandy after the D-Day landings in June 1944. She faced down hostility before she’d even reached the beaches. “We don’t want any bloody women in this outfit,” one of the soldiers told her. But with the biggest invasion in history underway, women like Iris were vital to Allied victory. Not discouraged by male opponents, Iris was one of the two women from the Princess May’s Royal Air Force Nursing Service who crossed the Channel five days after the invasion began. Supplies were basic, sleeping in trenches (战壕), washing from a bucket (水桶), bombs exploding overhead. The nursing sisters worked tirelessly in a temporary field hospital, where over 1,000 wounded soldiers were treated in under a week. Back in Britain, 18-year-old Ruth Bourne was fighting the same war as Iris and the men on the beaches but from a north London outstation, part of the Bletchley Park code-breaking center. Ruth operated the giant, noisy machines used to break the German Enigma codes. In June 1944, her workload was particularly heavy. Thousands of women there translated and processed these coded enemy messages, yielding crucial intelligence for the army fighting across France. There were also other women found themselves far nearer the action. They operated radar, height finders, predictors and cutting-edge technology to plot the course of enemy aircraft. 24. Why does the author mention the film Saving Private Ryan? A. To show millions of people died in the war. B. To show there are many inspiring war films. C. To show D-Day Landings have raised people’s interest. D. To show men’s contribution in war is widely-recognized. 25. What was the soldier’s attitude towards Iris Bower before she arrived in Normandy? A. Respectful and welcoming B. Indifferent and uninterested C. Unfriendly and dismissive D. Grateful and admiring 26. What does the author want to stress in paragraph 3? A. The initial resistance from male colleagues. B. The timely treatment to the wounded soldiers. C. The support and encouragement from the military. D. The tough working conditions and heavy workload. 27. What was Ruth Bourne’s role during the war? A. She was a translator. B. She was a pilot. C. She was a code-breaker. D. She was a nurse. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了1944年“霸王行动”中，超200万士兵登陆法国，而数万女性也发挥关键作用，如护士Iris和破译员Ruth等。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Operation Overlord, the Allied campaign to liberate Europe and defeat the Nazis, has long been memorialized in Hollywood films like Saving Private Ryan. By August 1944, over two million soldiers had landed in northern France to fight the Germans. Their story is well-known. Much less well-known is the crucial role hundreds of thousands of women from all walks of life played in this epic military mission.(“霸王行动”是盟军为解放欧洲并击败纳粹而展开的战役，这一行动长期以来在好莱坞电影中得到了生动的呈现，比如《拯救大兵瑞恩》。到 1944 年 8 月，已有超过 200 万士兵在法国北部登陆，与德军展开战斗。他们的事迹广为人知。但鲜为人知的是，成千上万来自各行各业的女性在这场史诗般的军事行动中发挥了至关重要的作用)”可知，作者提及电影《拯救大兵瑞恩》是为了表明在战争中男性的贡献得到了广泛认可。故选D。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“29-year-old Welsh nurse Iris Bower was one of the first British women to arrive in Normandy after the D-Day landings in June 1944. She faced down hostility before she’d even reached the beaches. “We don’t want any bloody women in this outfit,” one of the soldiers told her.(29 岁的威尔士护士艾丽斯・鲍尔是 1944 年 6 月诺曼底登陆后首批抵达诺曼底的英国女性之一。甚至在还没到达海滩之前，她就遭遇了敌意。“我们这支队伍里不要该死的女人，” 一名士兵这样对她说。)”可知，在伊丽莎白·鲍尔抵达诺曼底之前，这名士兵对她不友好且不屑一顾。故选C。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Not discouraged by male opponents, Iris was one of the two women from the Princess May’s Royal Air Force Nursing Service who crossed the Channel five days after the invasion began. Supplies were basic, sleeping in trenches (战壕), washing from a bucket (水桶), bombs exploding overhead. The nursing sisters worked tirelessly in a temporary field hospital, where over 1,000 wounded soldiers were treated in under a week.(伊丽莎白并未因男性对手的阻挠而气馁，她在入侵开始五天后便与另一位来自“梅公主皇家空军护理服务队”的女性一起渡过了英吉利海峡。当时物资匮乏，她们睡在战壕里，用水桶打水洗澡，头顶还时不时有炸弹爆炸的声音。这两位护理姐妹在临时搭建的野战医院里不知疲倦地工作着，在不到一周的时间里为超过 1000 名受伤士兵进行了治疗)”可知，作者在第三段想要强调的是艰苦的工作条件和繁重的工作任务。故选D。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Ruth operated the giant, noisy machines used to break the German Enigma codes.(鲁斯操作着那些巨大的、运转声嘈杂的机器，这些机器用于破解德国的恩格玛密码)”可知，鲁斯·伯恩在战争期间担任一名密码破译员。故选C。 C At first glance, a dead tree might seem to be little more than an empty, fading log. But look closer. From crawling ants to nesting bats, a whole community of creatures has settled in, their very survival often dependent on the tree’ s death. Dead trees are now becoming a major point of forest management. Recent decades have brought greater understanding of the vital function dead trees serve in supporting biodiversity and forest regeneration — and, with it, a growing movement to preserve them. The death of a tree is hardly the end. Instead, a rapid transformation begins, bringing new dynamism into the lifeless branches. Upon its death, the tree’ s tightly closed plumbing(管道系统), previously used to transport nutrients and water, becomes empty and permeable(可渗透的). These emptied-out structures, still standing upright, are also known as snags or wildlife trees. Because of their uprightness, snags can host a high diversity of species that varies from top to bottom. Fallen trees — often called logs — are also valuable habitats, though for a different group of smaller-scale species. From a climate perspective, letting trees putrefy is critical. Large trees in particular act as significant carbon sinks, and allowing them to decompose naturally extends the carbon storage process, reducing the amount of carbon dioxide — and, thus, heat — in the atmosphere. Whenever possible, forestry experts prefer to leave dead trees untouched. “In forested areas, we would typically recommend that standing trees be left that way,” says Kevin Rohling, a specialist in forest ecology. This advice marks a change of tune from previous generations when uncontrolled logging and forest clearing were common practice. Is there any benefit to keeping a dead tree in your backyard? The answer is not a one-size-fits-all guidance. For personal properties, it’s a little bit more complex. Trees infected by diseases like sudden oak death, for instance, can appear healthy despite growing progressively drier and structurally unsound. For people who live in wildfire-prone territory, such as the wildland urban interface, keeping a dead tree within your property — unless your property is very large — really represents a big risk. 28. Why are dead trees a focus in forest management? A. They are effortlessly removable. B. They may upset biodiversity. C. They are regarded as landmarks. D. They help maintain forest life. 29. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Factors leading to a tree’s death. B. The afterlife of a dead tree. C. Habitats for endangered species. D. The process of species change. 30. What does the underlined word “putrefy” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Break down. B. Root around. C. Grow stronger. D. Keep alive. 31. How should people handle dead trees according to the text? A. Preserve them wholeheartedly. B. Remove them without delay. C. Treat them based on conditions. D. Recycle them to the fullest. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了死树在森林生态中的重要性，包括其对生物多样性和森林再生的支持作用，以及林业管理中对死树的保护措施。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Recent decades have brought greater understanding of the vital function dead trees serve in supporting biodiversity and forest regeneration.(近几十年来，人们越来越认识到死树在支持生物多样性和森林再生方面的重要作用。)”可知，死树之所以成为森林管理的重点，是因为它们有助于维持森林生命。故选D。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The death of a tree is hardly the end. Instead, a rapid transformation begins, bringing new dynamism into the lifeless branches.(一棵树的死亡远不是终结。相反，一场快速的转变开始了，为无生命的树枝带来了新的活力。)”可知，第二段主要讲述的是死树死后的变化和作用，即死树死后的“来生”。故选B。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“Large trees in particular act as significant carbon sinks, and allowing them to decompose naturally extends the carbon storage process, reducing the amount of carbon dioxide—and, thus, heat—in the atmosphere.(特别是大树，它们是重要的碳汇，让它们自然分解可以延长碳储存过程，从而减少大气中的二氧化碳含量，进而降低大气温度)”可知，让大树自然分解可以延长碳储存过程，减少大气中的二氧化碳含量。由此推知，画线词意思是“分解”。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Is there any benefit to keeping a dead tree in your backyard? The answer is not a one-size-fits-all guidance. For personal properties, it’s a little bit more complex.(后院里保留一棵死树有好处吗？答案不是一概而论的指导。对于私人财产来说，这要复杂一些。)”可知，对于死树的处理，不应一概而论，如果涉及到私人财产，情况可能要复杂一些，由此可推理出，本文认为对于死树的处理应该根据情况而定。故选C。 D Deepfake: synthetic (合成的) media, including images, videos, and audio, is generated by Al technology to show something that does not exist or events that have never occurred. Examples of deepfakes have been widely spread, including a video of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg giving a speech about his company’s plan, and a video of Elon Musk dancing and talking about the power of dreams, etc. It’s easy for AI to produce such deepfakes using two different deep-learning algorithms (算法): one that creates the best possible clone based on a real image or video and another that detects whether the copy is fake (伪造的) and, if it is, reports on the differences between it and the original. The first algorithm produces a synthetic image and receives feedback on it from the second algorithm and then adjusts it to make it appear more real; the loop is repeated as many times as it takes until the second algorithm does not detect any false imagery. Deepfakers often have evil motives, including creating misinformation and generating confusion. They tend to demean, terrify, and annoy, and have targeted not only celebrities but ordinary citizens as well. Most of the academic research surrounding deepfakes focuses on the detection of huge amount of deepfake videos emerging online. One detection approach is to use algorithms to identify inconsistencies in deepfake videos. For example, an automatic system can examine videos for errors such as irregular blinking patterns of lighting. However, these approaches have been criticized because deepfake detection is characterized by a “moving goal post” where the production of deepfakes is changing and improving while detection tools are always on the way of catching them up. However, education and medicine are two of the fields that may benefit from deepfake technology. In the classroom, historical speeches could be deepfaked to offer immersive and engaging lessons. In health care, it can improve the accuracy of which tumors (肿瘤) are spotted, making them easier to treat. Its use also permits using synthesized data instead of that from real patients to avoid privacy concerns. 32. How does AI create a deepfake video according to the passage? A. By copying and combining the fake images. B. By constantly teaching itself to perfect the output. C. By acquiring feedback from multiple sources. D. By repeatedly generating realistic images from scratch. 33. What is the challenge of detecting deepfake videos? A. Ever-evolving deepfake techniques. B. Insufficient academic basis on detection solutions. C. A massive number of false videos online. D. Limited availability of detection tools. 34. What is the author’s attitude toward deepfake? A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Objective. D. Unconcerned. 35. What is probably the best title for the passage? A. Potential threats: AI’s new playground B. Deepfake: Human’s another helping hand C. Artificial Intelligence: A piece of fake D. Detecting deepfake: An ongoing battle 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者客观地对deepfake进行了客观事实阐述：AI是能轻易地制造出假视频的。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“It’s easy for AI to produce such deepfakes using two different deep-learning algorithms (算法): one that creates the best possible clone based on a real image or video and another that detects whether the copy is fake (伪造的) and, if it is, reports on the differences between it and the original. (人工智能很容易使用两种不同的深度学习算法来产生这种深度伪造：一种算法根据真实图像或视频创建尽可能最好的克隆，另一种算法检测副本是否为假，如果是假的，则报告它与原件之间的差异。)”可知，人工智通过不断地自我训练来完善输出创建深度假视频。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“However, these approaches have been criticized because deepfake detection is characterized by a “moving goal post” where the production of deepfakes is changing and improving while detection tools are always on the way of catching them up. (然而，这些方法受到了批评，因为深度伪造检测的特点是“移动的门柱”，深度伪造的生产在不断变化和改进，而检测工具总是在追赶它们。)”可知，检测深度假视频的挑战是不断发展的深度造假技术。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。作者在文章中阐述了deepfake技术的概念、应用案例、原理，动机，也提到了其在不同应用领域的好处和坏处，可推知作者对它的态度是客观的。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Deepfake: synthetic (合成的) media, including images, videos, and audio, is generated by Al technology to show something that does not exist or events that have never occurred. (Deepfake；人工智能技术生成的合成媒体，包括图像、视频和音频，用来展示不存在的东西或从未发生过的事件。)”结合作者客观地对deepfake进行了客观事实阐述：AI是能轻易地制造出假视频的。故C选项“人工智能：一块假货”最符合文义。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每题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。 During puberty (青春期), your body goes through many changes, and you start forming a body image — how you see, think, and feel about your body’s size, shape, and weight, or specific features like your nose. ____36____ For instance, you may believe your nose is too big or too small, even though it looks perfectly normal. ____37____ One major influence is peer (同龄人) pressure. Your friends might make casual jokes about your appearance, or you might compare yourself to them and feel they look better. Such experiences can harm the way you view yourself. Another powerful influence is the media, which often promotes a narrow, ideal body type. For example, if fair skin is portrayed as beautiful, you may feel insecure if you don’t match that ideal. Developing a negative body image can lead to unhealthy behaviors, such as extreme dieting, overexercising, or even risky plastic surgeries. ___38___ When you focus too much on appearance, you may forget to appreciate other great things about yourself, such as your talents and personality. To build a positive body image, it’s essential to remember that no perfect body exists, as beauty standards are always changing. Models and celebrities may appear flawless in the media, but much of their appearance is due to makeup, angles, lighting, and editing. _____39_____ Rather than focusing on appearances, value people for their true selves. By surrounding yourself with positive influences and avoiding comments on looks, you can redirect your attention from self-criticism. ____40____ Over time, you’ll build inner confidence and develop a healthier, more accepting relationship with your body. A. Many factors shape your body image. B. It also lowers your overall life satisfaction. C. However, your true beauty lies within your heart. D. External judgement can be a double-edged sword. E. Without these tricks, they are just as “imperfect” as everyone else. F. Surprisingly, body image is shaped more by your thoughts than by reality. G. This shift enables you to recognize and celebrate your talents and strengths. 【答案】36. F 37. A 38. B 39. E 40.

For example, if fair skin is portrayed as beautiful, you may feel insecure if you don’t match that ideal.(一个主要的影响因素是同伴的压力。你的朋友可能会随便拿你的外表开玩笑，或者你可能会拿自己和他们比较，觉得他们看起来更好。这样的经历会损害你看待自己的方式。另一个强大的影响是媒体，它经常宣传一个狭窄的、理想的体型。例如，如果白皙的皮肤被描述为美丽，如果你不符合理想，你可能会感到不安全)”可知，下文描述了影响身体意象形成的因素，本空位于句首，应概括本段主旨，强调影响身体意象形成有很多的因素。A选项“许多因素塑造了你的身体意象”可作为总起句，引出下文对影响因素的具体介绍，符合语境。故选A。 【38题详解】 由上文“Developing a negative body image can lead to unhealthy behaviors, such as extreme dieting, overexercising, or even risky plastic surgeries.(形成负面的身体意象会导致不健康的行为，如极端节食、过度锻炼，甚至是有风险的整形手术)”及下文“When you focus too much on appearance, you may forget to appreciate other great things about yourself, such as your talents and personality.(当你过于关注外表时，你可能会忘记欣赏自己其他很棒的方面，比如你的才能和个性)”可知，本空应强调负面身体意象的不良影响。B选项“它也会降低你的总体生活满意度”进一步阐述了负面身体意象的不良后果，also表明是对上文不良影响的补充，能起到承上启下的作用，符合题意。故选B。 【39题详解】 由上文“Models and celebrities may appear flawless in the media, but much of their appearance is due to makeup, angles, lighting, and editing.(模特和名人在媒体上可能看起来完美无瑕，但他们的外表很大程度上要归功于化妆、角度、灯光和编辑)”可知，本空应进一步说明没有这些因素时他们的真实情况。E选项“没有这些技巧，他们就和其他所有人一样“不完美””能承接上文对模特和名人外表的描述，说明没有那些手段他们也不完美，符合题意。故选E。 【40题详解】 由上文“Rather than focusing on appearances, value people for their true selves.

A group of Grade One students signed up for this meaningful event. Among them were Lucy and her classmate, David. Both of them were excited about the chance to contribute to the community and make a difference in the lives of others. On the day of the activity, they arrived at the nursing home bright and early in the morning. The elderly residents greeted them with warm smiles and kind eyes. Lucy and David were assigned to take care of an elderly couple, Mr. and Mrs. Brown. The couple welcomed them into their cozy room, and they spent the whole morning engaged in lively conversations. Mr. Brown, in particular, was extremely talkative. He shared numerous interesting anecdotes (轶事) from his youth, like the time he participated in a thrilling sports event in his hometown and the unforgettable adventures he had while traveling. Lucy and David listened attentively, captivated by his stories. After a delicious lunch prepared by the nursing home staff, the volunteers decided to organize a small but heartwarming performance for the residents. Lucy planned to sing some classic old-fashioned songs. David, who was good at playing the guitar, would accompany her. The other volunteers also got creative and prepared various performances, such as astonishing magic tricks and humorous short plays. As they were busy setting up the small stage in the common area of the nursing home, they noticed that Mr. Brown seemed a bit down. His usually bright eyes were dimmed (暗淡), and he was sitting quietly in a corner. Concerned, Lucy and David walked over to him. Mr. Brown then revealed that he used to be a famous singer in his prime. He had performed on many stages, attracting audiences with his powerful voice. But now, due to his age and health issues, his voice had weakened, and he could no longer sing as well as he used to. Lucy and David felt a pang of sadness for him. They were determined to do something to lift his spirits. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 3.请在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Lucy decided to take the initiative and proposed a special plan for Mr. Brown. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When the moment of the performance arrived, Mr. Brown stepped onto the stage with a combination of nerves and excitement. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Lucy decided to take the initiative and proposed a special plan for Mr. Brown. She suggested he could lead the opening song of their performance. Mr. Brown was shocked and refused at first, fearing he’d let everyone down. But Lucy and David persisted, assuring him that his past experience and emotions were more important. Eventually, Mr. Brown agreed. They started practicing the song together. As they sang, Mr. Brown’s eyes gradually regained their sparkle. Memories of his past performances flooded back, and his confidence slowly returned. The closer the performance time got, the more excited he became.​ When the moment of the performance arrived, Mr. Brown stepped onto the stage with a combination of nerves and excitement. Lucy and David gave him an encouraging nod. David started playing the guitar, and Mr. Brown began to sing. His voice was initially shaky, but as the song progressed, it grew stronger. The residents watched in admiration. When the song ended, the audience erupted into applause. Mr. Brown’s face lit up with joy. After the show, he hugged Lucy and David, expressing his gratitude.

B Operation Overlord, the Allied campaign to liberate Europe and defeat the Nazis, has long been memorialized in Hollywood films like Saving Private Ryan. By August 1944, over two million soldiers had landed in northern France to fight the Germans. Their story is well-known. Much less well-known is the crucial role hundreds of thousands of women from all walks of life played in this epic military mission. 29-year-old Welsh nurse Iris Bower was one of the first British women to arrive in Normandy after the D-Day landings in June 1944. She faced down hostility before she’d even reached the beaches. “We don’t want any bloody women in this outfit,” one of the soldiers told her. But with the biggest invasion in history underway, women like Iris were vital to Allied victory. Not discouraged by male opponents, Iris was one of the two women from the Princess May’s Royal Air Force Nursing Service who crossed the Channel five days after the invasion began. Supplies were basic, sleeping in trenches (战壕), washing from a bucket (水桶), bombs exploding overhead. The nursing sisters worked tirelessly in a temporary field hospital, where over 1,000 wounded soldiers were treated in under a week. Back in Britain, 18-year-old Ruth Bourne was fighting the same war as Iris and the men on the beaches but from a north London outstation, part of the Bletchley Park code-breaking center. Ruth operated the giant, noisy machines used to break the German Enigma codes. In June 1944, her workload was particularly heavy. Thousands of women there translated and processed these coded enemy messages, yielding crucial intelligence for the army fighting across France. There were also other women found themselves far nearer the action. They operated radar, height finders, predictors and cutting-edge technology to plot the course of enemy aircraft. 24 Why does the author mention the film Saving Private Ryan? A. To show millions of people died in the war. B. To show there are many inspiring war films. C. To show D-Day Landings have raised people’s interest. D. To show men’s contribution in war is widely-recognized. 25. What was the soldier’s attitude towards Iris Bower before she arrived in Normandy? A. Respectful and welcoming B. Indifferent and uninterested C. Unfriendly and dismissive D. Grateful and admiring 26. What does the author want to stress in paragraph 3? A. The initial resistance from male colleagues. B. The timely treatment to the wounded soldiers. C. The support and encouragement from the military. D. The tough working conditions and heavy workload. 27. What was Ruth Bourne’s role during the war? A. She was a translator. B. She was a pilot. C She was a code-breaker. D. She was a nurse. C At first glance, a dead tree might seem to be little more than an empty, fading log. But look closer. From crawling ants to nesting bats, a whole community of creatures has settled in, their very survival often dependent on the tree’ s death. Dead trees are now becoming a major point of forest management. Recent decades have brought greater understanding of the vital function dead trees serve in supporting biodiversity and forest regeneration — and, with it, a growing movement to preserve them. The death of a tree is hardly the end. Instead, a rapid transformation begins, bringing new dynamism into the lifeless branches. Upon its death, the tree’ s tightly closed plumbing(管道系统), previously used to transport nutrients and water, becomes empty and permeable(可渗透的). These emptied-out structures, still standing upright, are also known as snags or wildlife trees. Because of their uprightness, snags can host a high diversity of species that varies from top to bottom. Fallen trees — often called logs — are also valuable habitats, though for a different group of smaller-scale species. From a climate perspective, letting trees putrefy is critical. Large trees in particular act as significant carbon sinks, and allowing them to decompose naturally extends the carbon storage process, reducing the amount of carbon dioxide — and, thus, heat — in the atmosphere. Whenever possible, forestry experts prefer to leave dead trees untouched. “In forested areas, we would typically recommend that standing trees be left that way,” says Kevin Rohling, a specialist in forest ecology. This advice marks a change of tune from previous generations when uncontrolled logging and forest clearing were common practice. Is there any benefit to keeping a dead tree in your backyard? The answer is not a one-size-fits-all guidance. For personal properties, it’s a little bit more complex. Trees infected by diseases like sudden oak death, for instance, can appear healthy despite growing progressively drier and structurally unsound. For people who live in wildfire-prone territory, such as the wildland urban interface, keeping a dead tree within your property — unless your property is very large — really represents a big risk. 28. Why are dead trees a focus in forest management? A. They are effortlessly removable. B. They may upset biodiversity. C. They are regarded as landmarks. D. They help maintain forest life. 29. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Factors leading to a tree’s death. B. The afterlife of a dead tree. C. Habitats for endangered species. D. The process of species change. 30. What does the underlined word “putrefy” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Break down. B. Root around. C. Grow stronger. D. Keep alive. 31. How should people handle dead trees according to the text? A. Preserve them wholeheartedly. B. Remove them without delay. C. Treat them based on conditions. D. Recycle them to the fullest. D Deepfake: synthetic (合成的) media, including images, videos, and audio, is generated by Al technology to show something that does not exist or events that have never occurred. Examples of deepfakes have been widely spread, including a video of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg giving a speech about his company’s plan, and a video of Elon Musk dancing and talking about the power of dreams, etc. It’s easy for AI to produce such deepfakes using two different deep-learning algorithms (算法): one that creates the best possible clone based on a real image or video and another that detects whether the copy is fake (伪造的) and, if it is, reports on the differences between it and the original. The first algorithm produces a synthetic image and receives feedback on it from the second algorithm and then adjusts it to make it appear more real; the loop is repeated as many times as it takes until the second algorithm does not detect any false imagery. Deepfakers often have evil motives, including creating misinformation and generating confusion. They tend to demean, terrify, and annoy, and have targeted not only celebrities but ordinary citizens as well. Most of the academic research surrounding deepfakes focuses on the detection of huge amount of deepfake videos emerging online. One detection approach is to use algorithms to identify inconsistencies in deepfake videos. For example, an automatic system can examine videos for errors such as irregular blinking patterns of lighting. However, these approaches have been criticized because deepfake detection is characterized by a “moving goal post” where the production of deepfakes is changing and improving while detection tools are always on the way of catching them up. However, education and medicine are two of the fields that may benefit from deepfake technology. In the classroom, historical speeches could be deepfaked to offer immersive and engaging lessons. In health care, it can improve the accuracy of which tumors (肿瘤) are spotted, making them easier to treat. Its use also permits using synthesized data instead of that from real patients to avoid privacy concerns. 32. How does AI create a deepfake video according to the passage? A. By copying and combining the fake images. B. By constantly teaching itself to perfect the output. C. By acquiring feedback from multiple sources. D. By repeatedly generating realistic images from scratch. 33. What is the challenge of detecting deepfake videos? A. Ever-evolving deepfake techniques. B. Insufficient academic basis on detection solutions. C. A massive number of false videos online. D. Limited availability of detection tools. 34. What is the author’s attitude toward deepfake? A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Objective. D. Unconcerned. 35. What is probably the best title for the passage? A. Potential threats: AI’s new playground B. Deepfake: Human’s another helping hand C. Artificial Intelligence: A piece of fake D. Detecting deepfake: An ongoing battle 第二节(共5小题;每题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。 During puberty (青春期), your body goes through many changes, and you start forming a body image — how you see, think, and feel about your body’s size, shape, and weight, or specific features like your nose. ____36____ For instance, you may believe your nose is too big or too small, even though it looks perfectly normal. ____37____ One major influence is peer (同龄人) pressure. Your friends might make casual jokes about your appearance, or you might compare yourself to them and feel they look better. Such experiences can harm the way you view yourself. Another powerful influence is the media, which often promotes a narrow, ideal body type. For example, if fair skin is portrayed as beautiful, you may feel insecure if you don’t match that ideal. Developing a negative body image can lead to unhealthy behaviors, such as extreme dieting, overexercising, or even risky plastic surgeries. ___38___ When you focus too much on appearance, you may forget to appreciate other great things about yourself, such as your talents and personality. To build a positive body image, it’s essential to remember that no perfect body exists, as beauty standards are always changing. Models and celebrities may appear flawless in the media, but much of their appearance is due to makeup, angles, lighting, and editing. _____39_____ Rather than focusing on appearances, value people for their true selves. By surrounding yourself with positive influences and avoiding comments on looks, you can redirect your attention from self-criticism. ____40____ Over time, you’ll build inner confidence and develop a healthier, more accepting relationship with your body. A. Many factors shape your body image. B. It also lowers your overall life satisfaction. C. However, your true beauty lies within your heart. D. External judgement can be a double-edged sword. E. Without these tricks, they are just as “imperfect” as everyone else. F. Surprisingly, body image is shaped more by your thoughts than by reality. G. This shift enables you to recognize and celebrate your talents and strengths. 第三部分 语言运用(共三节，满分45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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 No one is willing to fall ill, especially in a foreign country alone. ____41____, such was exactly what happened to me.

A group of Grade One students signed up for this meaningful event. Among them were Lucy and her classmate, David. Both of them were excited about the chance to contribute to the community and make a difference in the lives of others. On the day of the activity, they arrived at the nursing home bright and early in the morning. The elderly residents greeted them with warm smiles and kind eyes. Lucy and David were assigned to take care of an elderly couple, Mr. and Mrs. Brown. The couple welcomed them into their cozy room, and they spent the whole morning engaged in lively conversations. Mr. Brown, in particular, was extremely talkative. He shared numerous interesting anecdotes (轶事) from his youth, like the time he participated in a thrilling sports event in his hometown and the unforgettable adventures he had while traveling. Lucy and David listened attentively, captivated by his stories. After a delicious lunch prepared by the nursing home staff, the volunteers decided to organize a small but heartwarming performance for the residents. Lucy planned to sing some classic old-fashioned songs. David, who was good at playing the guitar, would accompany her. The other volunteers also got creative and prepared various performances, such as astonishing magic tricks and humorous short plays. As they were busy setting up the small stage in the common area of the nursing home, they noticed that Mr. Brown seemed a bit down. His usually bright eyes were dimmed (暗淡), and he was sitting quietly in a corner. Concerned, Lucy and David walked over to him. Mr. Brown then revealed that he used to be a famous singer in his prime. He had performed on many stages, attracting audiences with his powerful voice. But now, due to his age and health issues, his voice had weakened, and he could no longer sing as well as he used to. Lucy and David felt a pang of sadness for him. They were determined to do something to lift his spirits. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 3.请在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Lucy decided to take the initiative and proposed a special plan for Mr. Brown. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When the moment of the performance arrived, Mr. Brown stepped onto the stage with a combination of nerves and excitement. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
