You can go to the open-air souvenir markets to shop for authentic Fijian crafts (工艺品) like wooden kava bowls and visit the Fiji Museum. You can also attend Fire walking ceremony, the traditional practice of fire walking, where men walk barefoot across hot stones. Best Time to Go There is no bad time for Fiji vacations. However, November to April is the wet season, when temperatures and humidity (湿度) are higher and there is a greater risk of hurricanes. August and October are some of the most popular months to visit Fiji’s islands, but this also means you will have to deal with high-season crowds and prices. Brave the heavy but short downpours in the wet season if you want to escape the crowds and get some great deals. Accommodation & Transport & Food Some restaurants are expensive and attract the world’s rich and famous, but you can find much cheaper options with equally beautiful locations. Budget hotels start at around $30 a night for a double room with sea views. If you don’t mind getting about on a bus, you will find this is a cheap and efficient form of transport. Traveling from Suva to Nadi, for example, costs around $25 for a four-hour trip. You can eat for as little as 5insmallrestaurants, and mid—range restaurants start at around 15 for a meal. Many accommodation options include meals, so you can take full advantage of this to save some money. All up, Fiji is a very reasonably priced destination with priceless experiences on offer. So, what are you waiting for? 1. What can tourists do in Fiji? A. Witness a special ceremony. B. Walk on hot stones with shoes. C. Shop in large indoor souvenir markets. D. Make wooden kava bowls by themselves. 2. In which month are people more likely to avoid crowds of tourists? A. May. B. July. C. September. D. December. 3. What can be learned about Fiji? A. It is friendly to budget tourists. B. It takes five hours to get there. C. It can be reached only by bus. D. It offers free meals in any hotel. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了斐济岛的美景和去斐济旅游的最佳时间以及住宿、交通和食物等方面的相关信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“You can also attend Fire walking ceremony, the traditional practice of fire walking, where men walk barefoot across hot stones. (你也可以参加火走仪式，传统的火走仪式，男人们赤脚走过热石头。)”可知，游客可以见证一个特别的仪式。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据 Best Time to Go 部分中“Brave the heavy but short downpours in the wet season if you want to escape the crowds and get some great deals. (如果你想避开拥挤的人群，买到便宜的东西，就勇敢地面对雨季的短时暴雨。)”可知，人们在雨季来斐济岛可以避开大批游客，再结合“However, November to April is the wet season, when temperatures and humidity (湿度) are higher and there is a greater risk of hurricanes. (然而，11月到4月是雨季，温度和湿度较高，飓风的风险也更大。)”可知，12月份属于雨季，此时旅行更有可能避开成群的游客。故选D。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Accommodation &Transport & Food 部分的介绍，特别是最后一段“All up, Fiji is a very reasonably priced destination with priceless experiences on offer. (总之，斐济是一个价格非常合理的目的地，提供无价的体验。)”可知，在斐济吃住行既有昂贵的也有便宜的选择，因此预算有限的游客也是可以支付得起的。故选A。 B Duncan Jurman became interested in butterflies when he was around 5 years old. He noticed a couple of caterpillars (毛虫) in his backyard and was attracted by the different ways that caterpillars can disguise (伪装) themselves to stay safe in potentially dangerous surroundings. From there, he started to learn more about caterpillars and butterflies. Jurman believes that butterflies play a vital role in our ecosystems. They’re very low on the food web, so they support a lot of different species that rely on them. They’re an indicator species for the health of the environment. Once they disappear, everything else is soon to follow. Jurman’s goal is to transform the landscape of Florida’s Broward County by turning a weedy suburb into a lively butterfly reserve at a time when insect populations are decreasing quickly worldwide. Jurman believes that every flower planted is a potential home and source of food for caterpillars and butterflies. He eventually developed a butterfly-friendly garden in his backyard by researching the different plants that butterflies prefer. He’s already raised and released more than 5, 000 butterflies from his garden. Jurman also launched the Bring Butterflies Back campaign to educate people about butterflies and invite them to join his cause of protecting butterflies. He said that a lot of people are surprised to learn that insects are declining at such an alarming rate, largely because the decline has been so gradual. This phenomenon, known as the shifting baselines theory, helps to explain why people are unwilling to take meaningful action to save the environment. In 2018, Jurman helped to build a butterfly garden at his high school. The garden has had a regenerative effect on the surrounding environment — birds, native lizards, and other insects have returned in great numbers. Other schools have been inspired to start gardens. “I don’t know if we can ever reach the point that we were once at with butterflies, but I think that if everyone gets involved and starts their own garden, they can make their own impact,” Jurman said. 4. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. The significance of butterflies in nature. B. The potential danger to butterflies. C. The competition between species. D. The food web of insects. 5. Why did Jurman develop a butterfly-friendly garden? A. To research butterflies’ favorite plants. B. To boost the quantity of butterflies. C. To spread the knowledge about butterflies. D. To enhance the beauty of his backyard. 6. Which of the following illustrates the shifting baselines theory? A. The rapid decline of butterfly populations worldwide. B. People’s unawareness of gradual change in environment. C. The process of transforming natural landscapes into reserves. D. The impact of human activities on insect habitats. 7. What can be inferred from Jurman’s statement in the last paragraph? A. He is enthusiastic about gardening. B. He feels satisfied with his garden-building efforts. C. He will carry on despite an uncertain future. D. He holds a pessimistic attitude to the future of butterflies. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了Duncan Jurman对蝴蝶的热爱和他为保护蝴蝶所做的努力，包括立志将佛罗里达州布劳沃德县一个杂草丛生的郊区变为蝴蝶保护区、发起Bring Butterflies Back运动以及在自己的高中建立了蝴蝶花园，激励更多人加入到保护蝴蝶的行动中来。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Jurman believes that butterflies play a vital role in our ecosystems. They’re very low on the food web, so they support a lot of different species that rely on them. They’re an indicator species for the health of the environment. Once they disappear, everything else is soon to follow. (Jurman认为蝴蝶在我们的生态系统中扮演着至关重要的角色。它们在食物链中处于非常低的位置，因此支持着许多依赖它们的不同物种。它们是环境健康状况的指示物种。一旦它们消失，其他物种也将很快随之灭绝)”可知，第2段主要介绍蝴蝶在自然界中的重要性。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Jurman’s goal is to transform the landscape of Florida’s Broward County by turning a weedy suburb into a lively butterfly reserve at a time when insect populations are decreasing quickly worldwide. Jurman believes that every flower planted is a potential home and source of food for caterpillars and butterflies. He eventually developed a butterfly-friendly garden in his backyard by researching the different plants that butterflies prefer. He’s already raised and released more than 5, 000 butterflies from his garden. (Jurman的目标是改造佛罗里达州布劳沃德县的景观，将杂草丛生的郊区变成一个充满活力的蝴蝶保护区，而当前全球昆虫数量正在迅速减少。Jurman认为，每种植下的花都是毛毛虫和蝴蝶潜在的家园和食物来源。他通过研究蝴蝶偏爱的不同植物，最终在自家后院打造了一个对蝴蝶友好的花园。他已经从自己的花园中饲养并放飞了5000多只蝴蝶)”可知，Jurman建蝴蝶友好花园的目的是增加蝴蝶的数量。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“He said that a lot of people are surprised to learn that insects are declining at such an alarming rate, largely because the decline has been so gradual. This phenomenon, known as the shifting baselines theory, helps to explain why people are unwilling to take meaningful action to save the environment. (他说，很多人对昆虫以如此惊人的速度减少感到惊讶，这主要是因为这种减少是如此的缓慢和渐进。这种被称为“基准漂移理论”的现象有助于解释为什么人们不愿意采取有意义的行动来保护环境)”可知，基准漂移理论描述的是人们对环境的逐渐变化缺乏察觉，因此不能及时采取行动保护环境。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““I don’t know if we can ever reach the point that we were once at with butterflies, but I think that if everyone gets involved and starts their own garden, they can make their own impact,” Jurman said. (Jurman说：“我不知道我们是否还能恢复到曾经与蝴蝶共处的那种状态，但我认为，如果每个人都参与进来，开始建造自己的花园，他们就能产生自己的影响。”)”可知，尽管未来充满不确定性，Jurman仍将继续坚持下去。故选C。 C In summer the extreme heat often makes people sweaty and restless. While people are annoyed by it, experts suggest summer is the best season to discharge your body’s toxins (毒素) and recover your energy. One popular option is hot-stone treatment. Therapists (治疗师) use smooth and heated stones usually river rocks, to rub or press certain parts of the body, or place them on key points of the body. The warmth of the hot stones will improve blood circulation and also help relax muscles, while sweating is also believed to be good for discharging the body’s toxins. Another popular option is hot-stone baths. The hot-stone bath will help the body discharge toxins and humidity (湿气) that accumulated during the last winter. Summer is the best season to build a good body. Rather than use water or steam to heat and wash the body, people simply wear a coat or something comfortable, and then lie on heated stone tablets made of hot stones, which are warmed to around 45℃. The body will gradually warm up and blood circulation will also be improved. More sweat will come out quickly. The sweat is smooth and fresh, not smelly like that released after sports activities. Such baths bring a number of health benefits, such as anti-aging, improved blood circulation and stress relief. The slimming effect of dieting can even be promoted. Using hot stones for health benefits dates back to ancient times, but the modern renewal of hot-stone massage is generally credited to Mary Nelson, a native of Tucson, Arizona, America, whose trademark is “LaStone Therapy”. The therapy is gaining wide popularity with many people, especially those who have jobs in cool air-conditioned rooms. The hot-stone therapy can help cure many diseases, including back pain. 8. What does the hot-stone treatment can not do? A. Relax your muscle. B. Better your blood circulation. C. Improve your dieting. D. Discharge the toxins inside. 9. What will you do while taking hot-stone bath? A. Accumulate toxins during last winter. B. Bath in hot water or steam. C. Participate in sports activities before it. D. Lie on some hot flat stones. 10. What can be learned about the hot-stone therapy? A. It successfully cured many diseases by itself. B. Its popularity lies in its benefits on health. C. Its origin comes from modern concepts. D. It can help people sweat little in summer. 11. Which of the following could be the best title for the Text? A. Small hot stones, big healthy functions B. Summer, the best time to recover your energy C. Hot-stone therapy, a way to cure all diseases D. Sweating, the best way to release toxins 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，讲述了在夏季利用热石疗法改善身体健康。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The warmth of the hot stones will improve blood circulation and also help relax muscles, while sweating is also believed to be good for discharging the body’s toxins.(热石的温暖会促进血液循环，也有助于放松肌肉，而出汗也被认为有助于排出身体的毒素)”可知，热石有助于放松肌肉，促进血液循环和排出毒素，没有提到能改善饮食。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Rather than use water or steam to heat and wash the body, people simply wear a coat or something comfortable, and then lie on heated stone tablets made of hot stones, which are warmed to around 45℃.(人们不用水或蒸汽加热和清洗身体，只需穿上一件外套或一些舒适的东西，然后躺在由热石头制成的加热的石板上，这些石板被加热到45℃左右)”可知，洗热石浴的时候需要躺在一些热的扁平石头，即石板上。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The therapy is gaining wide popularity with many people, especially those who have jobs in cool air-conditioned rooms. The hot-stone therapy can help cure many diseases, including back pain.(这种疗法受到了许多人的广泛欢迎，尤其是那些在凉爽的空调房间工作的人。热石疗法可以帮助治愈许多疾病，包括背痛)”可知，热石疗法广受欢迎，由于它对健康有好处。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章全文内容及最后一段“The therapy is gaining wide popularity with many people, especially those who have jobs in cool air-conditioned rooms. The hot-stone therapy can help cure many diseases, including back pain.(这种疗法受到了许多人的广泛欢迎，尤其是那些在凉爽的空调房间工作的人。热石疗法可以帮助治愈许多疾病，包括背痛)”可知，本文介绍了热石疗法对身体有益，A选项“小热石，大养生功能”符合本文主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选A。 D Laughter comes in many forms, from a polite and quiet laugh to a great hearty laugh. Scientists are now developing an AI system to recreate different laughs in proper social contexts. The team behind the laughing robot Erica said that the system could improve natural conversations between people and an AI robot. “We think that one of the important functions of conversational AI is empathy (共情),” said Dr Koji Inoue, the lead author of the research. “So we decided that one way a robot can empathize with its users is to share their laughter.” The team have set out to teach their AI system the art of conversational laughter. They gathered training data from more than 80 daily dialogues between male subjects and the robot that was initially operated by four actresses remotely. The dialogue data was grouped into social laughs (where polite or embarrassed laughter isn’t involved) and laughter of joy. Based on the audio files, the algorithm (算法) learned the basic characteristics of social laughs, which tend to be softer, and merry laughs, with the aim of mirroring these inappropriate situations. “Our biggest obstructor in the work was identifying the actual cases of shared laughter because as you know, most laughter is actually not shared at all,” said Inoue. “We had to carefully decide exactly which laughs we could use for our analysis and we couldn’t just assume that any laugh can be responded to. It was really not easy work.” The team said laughter could help create robots with their own distinct character although it could take more than 20 years before it would be possible to have a casual chat with a robot like we would with a friend. “One of the things we’d keep in mind is that a laughing robot or algorithm will never be able to understand you or the meaning of laughter,” points out Prof. Sandra Wachter of the Oxford Internet Institute. “But with their development, they might get very good at tricking you into believing they understand what’s going on.” 12. Why did Inoue’s team develop the AI system? A. To better understand human empathy. B. To promote the social skills of robots. C. To explore the differences between laughs. D. To assist robots in identifying people's moods. 13. What can robot Erica probably do at present? A. Repeat the details of the 80 dialogues B. Distinguish people by hearing their laughs C. Recreate a scene played by the four actresses D. Master the features of laughs provided by data. 14. What does the underlined word “obstructor” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Potential. B. Barrier. C. Alternative. D. Division. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Are AI systems going beyond human ability? B. Can conversational AI really understand us? C. Laughing robots are round the conner. D. Robots become laughing masters. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍科学家正在研究的一款可以笑的机器人。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“Scientists are now developing an AI system to recreate different laughs in proper social contexts. The team said that the system could improve natural conversations between people and an AI robot.(科学家们现在正在开发一种人工智能系统，在适当的社交环境中重现不同的笑声。该团队表示，该系统可以提高人与人工智能机器人之间的自然对话)”可知，团队开发了人工智能系统是为了提高机器人的社交技能。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“The team have set out to teach their AI system the art of conversational laughter. They gathered training data from more than 80 daily dialogues between male subjects and the robot that was initially operated by four actresses remotely. The dialogue data was grouped into social laughs (where polite or embarrassed laughter isn’t involved) and laughter of joy. Based on the audio files, the algorithm(算法) learned the basic characteristics of social laughs, which tend to be softer, and merry laughs, with the aim of mirroring these inappropriate situations.(该团队已经开始教授他们的人工智能系统对话式大笑的艺术。他们从男性受试者和最初由四名女演员远程操作的机器人之间的80多次日常对话中收集了训练数据。对话数据被分为社交笑声（不涉及礼貌或尴尬的笑声）和欢乐的笑声。基于音频文件，该算法学习了社交笑声的基本特征，这些笑声往往更柔和、更快乐，目的是反映这些不恰当的情况)”可知，团队已经开始教授机器人笑的艺术，数据包括了笑的特征，因此推断机器人Erica可能掌握了目前数据提供的笑的特征。故选D项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第三段划线词后文“‘Our biggest obstructor in the work was identifying the actual cases of shared laughter because as you know, most laughter is actually not shared at all,’ said Inoue. ‘We had to carefully decide exactly which laughs we could use for our analysis and we couldn’t just assume that any laugh can be responded to. It was really not easy work.’(Inoue说：“我们在这项工作中最大的______是确定分享笑声的实际案例，因为正如你所知，大多数笑声实际上根本就不是分享的。我们必须仔细决定哪些笑声可以用于我们的分析，我们不能仅仅假设任何笑声都能得到回应。这真的不是一项容易的工作。”)”可知，现在确定分享笑声的实际案例不是一件容易的事情，这是研究人员工作中最大的“障碍”，所以推测obstructor 表示“障碍”。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第一段“Laughter comes in many forms, from a polite and quiet laugh to a great hearty laugh. Scientists are now developing an AI system to recreate different laughs in proper social contexts. (笑声有多种形式，从礼貌而安静的笑声到开怀大笑。科学家们现在正在开发一种人工智能系统，在适当的社交环境中重现不同的笑声)”以及下文内容可知，文章主要介绍科学家正在研究一款拥有可以笑的机器人。所以C项Laughing robots are round the corner.（会笑的机器人即将问世）为最佳标题。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。 Are you having a hard time sticking to your daily schedule?

G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些关于坚持日程安排的建议。 【16题详解】 前文“An anchor habit is something you do at a particular time of day that you’re not at risk of skipping. It will help shape and structure your day. It doesn’t matter what the habit is, but it should be easy for you to do. (锚点习惯是你每天在特定时间做的事情，你不会有跳过的风险。这将有助于塑造和组织你的一天。习惯是什么并不重要，但它应该是你容易做到的)”解释锚点习惯的含义，指出该习惯要容易做到，后文“Don’t choose something you struggle to get done as an anchor habit. (不要选择一些你很难完成的事情作为锚点习惯)”指出应避免选择困难的事作为该习惯，因此D项“For example, reading a few pages of a book every night before bed. (例如，每晚睡前读几页书)”符合语境，是对这种习惯的举例说明，承前启后。故选D。 【17题详解】 前文“A daily schedule is a series of behaviors. Behaviors only become automatic if you keep how, when, and where you do them consistently for about three months. (每日计划是一系列行为。如果你坚持三个月的行为方式、时间和地点，它们才会变得自动)”指出行为要持续约三个月才能自动形成，因此E项“Once they become more automatic, they will take less effort to keep. (一旦它们变得更自动，保持起来就会不那么费力)”符合语境，说明行为自动形成后的好处，承接前文。故选E。 【18题详解】 前文“Structure rewards around daily tasks, such as watching a video after a period of study and scheduling walks as enjoyable motivations. (围绕日常任务安排奖励，比如在学习一段时间后看个视频，安排散步作为愉快的动机)”建议做完日常任务后实施奖励，后文“What do you want to do as a reward either during or after the daily behavior you’re trying to maintain? (在你试图维持的日常行为期间或之后，你想做什么作为奖励)”提到思考奖励的问题，因此B项“Get to know yourself and what works for you. (了解你自己，知道什么适合你)”符合语境，建议了解适合自己的东西，承前启后。故选B。 【19题详解】 后文“Equipment can help you maintain a schedule. Kitchen equipment might help support a cooking schedule. Hiking equipment might help support an outdoor activity schedule.

It was a much-anticipated event, attracting participants of all ages. I remember being particularly fascinated by the way those colorful kites danced in the sky, seemingly free from the control of the earth. This year, something about the competition called out to me in a way it never had before. Perhaps it was the stories I had heard of perseverance, or maybe it was the dream of seeing my own kite flying higher than all else. Regardless of the reason, I decided that this would be the year I took part. The road to the competition was not easy. My first difficulty was convincing my parents to let me participate. They were concerned about my studies and how I would manage my time. After much discussion, they agreed, but with the condition that I would not let it influence my academics. With their permission came a newfound determination within me. Next, I needed to build my kite. I had no idea where to start, but luckily, my grandfather was an expert kite maker. He showed me the ropes, teaching me everything from selecting the right materials to balancing the kite for the best flight. We spent hours in his workshop, cutting, pasting, and discussing strategies. His belief in me strengthened my resolve. However, the flying practices were far from successful at first. My kite barely left the ground, let alone flew. Each failed attempt weighed heavily on me, making me question if all this effort was worth it. The taunts (挑衅) of other children who saw my struggles did not help either. But then I remembered why I started this journey — the thrill of seeing my kite fly high and the sense of accomplishment it would bring. I returned to my practice with renewed courage, analyzing what went wrong each time and making adjustments. Gradually, my kite began to rise higher and stay up longer. This progress filled me with pride and hope. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Finally, the day of the competition arrived. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Though I didn’t win first place, I wasn’t disappointed. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Finally, the day of the competition arrived. The sky was a perfect blue, ideal for kite flying. My heart was beating with anticipation as I joined the other contestants, each holding their colorful creations. When it was my turn, I took a deep breath, steadying my nerves. Holding tightly on the string, I launched my kite into the air. To my delight, it rose gracefully, dancing on the winds, reaching heights I had only dreamed of. The crowd erupted in applause, and I felt an overwhelming sense of achievement washing over me. Though I didn’t win first place, I wasn’t disappointed. The night spent designing my kite and early mornings practicing were unforgettable. Each failed attempt, whether it was a broken string or a kite wouldn’t stay in the air during flight, had been a lesson but the journey had taught me more than victory ever could. I learned the value of perseverance, the importance of hard work, and most importantly, how to believe in myself even when the pressure seemed hard on me. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者因对风筝比赛着迷而参赛，过程中克服父母阻碍、学习制筝，在失败中坚持练习，最终取得进步的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“终于，比赛的日子到了。”可知，第一段可描写比赛当天作者的表现和风筝的飞行情况。 ②由第二段首句内容“虽然我没有赢得第一名，但我并不失望。”可知，第二段可描写作者虽未获第一名，但收获了比胜利更重要的东西。 2.续写线索： 比赛到来——作者放飞风筝——风筝飞得高——观众鼓掌——作者未获第一——作者感悟收获 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①深呼吸：took a deep breath/breathed deeply ②紧紧抓住：holding tightly/gripping firmly ③ 爆发：erupted/broke out/burst out 情绪类 ① 高兴：delight/joy/pleasure ② 失望的：disappointed/frustrated 【点睛】【高分句型1】My heart was beating with anticipation as I joined the other contestants, each holding their colorful creations. (运用了as引导的状语从句) 【高分句型2】When it was my turn, I took a deep breath, steadying my nerves.(运用了When引导的状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 河北武邑中学2024-2025学年下学期高二年级第二次月考英语试题 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。 1.What color is the woman’s hair now?

You can go to the open-air souvenir markets to shop for authentic Fijian crafts (工艺品) like wooden kava bowls and visit the Fiji Museum. You can also attend Fire walking ceremony, the traditional practice of fire walking, where men walk barefoot across hot stones. Best Time to Go There is no bad time for Fiji vacations. However, November to April is the wet season, when temperatures and humidity (湿度) are higher and there is a greater risk of hurricanes. August and October are some of the most popular months to visit Fiji’s islands, but this also means you will have to deal with high-season crowds and prices. Brave the heavy but short downpours in the wet season if you want to escape the crowds and get some great deals. Accommodation & Transport & Food Some restaurants are expensive and attract the world’s rich and famous, but you can find much cheaper options with equally beautiful locations. Budget hotels start at around $30 a night for a double room with sea views. If you don’t mind getting about on a bus, you will find this is a cheap and efficient form of transport. Traveling from Suva to Nadi, for example, costs around $25 for a four-hour trip. You can eat for as little as 5insmallrestaurants, and mid—range restaurants start at around 15 for a meal. Many accommodation options include meals, so you can take full advantage of this to save some money. All up, Fiji is a very reasonably priced destination with priceless experiences on offer. So, what are you waiting for? 1. What can tourists do in Fiji? A. Witness a special ceremony. B. Walk on hot stones with shoes. C. Shop in large indoor souvenir markets. D. Make wooden kava bowls by themselves. 2. In which month are people more likely to avoid crowds of tourists? A. May. B. July. C. September. D. December. 3. What can be learned about Fiji? A.

B Duncan Jurman became interested in butterflies when he was around 5 years old. He noticed a couple of caterpillars (毛虫) in his backyard and was attracted by the different ways that caterpillars can disguise (伪装) themselves to stay safe in potentially dangerous surroundings. From there, he started to learn more about caterpillars and butterflies. Jurman believes that butterflies play a vital role in our ecosystems. They’re very low on the food web, so they support a lot of different species that rely on them. They’re an indicator species for the health of the environment. Once they disappear, everything else is soon to follow. Jurman’s goal is to transform the landscape of Florida’s Broward County by turning a weedy suburb into a lively butterfly reserve at a time when insect populations are decreasing quickly worldwide. Jurman believes that every flower planted is a potential home and source of food for caterpillars and butterflies. He eventually developed a butterfly-friendly garden in his backyard by researching the different plants that butterflies prefer. He’s already raised and released more than 5, 000 butterflies from his garden. Jurman also launched the Bring Butterflies Back campaign to educate people about butterflies and invite them to join his cause of protecting butterflies. He said that a lot of people are surprised to learn that insects are declining at such an alarming rate, largely because the decline has been so gradual. This phenomenon, known as the shifting baselines theory, helps to explain why people are unwilling to take meaningful action to save the environment. In 2018 Jurman helped to build a butterfly garden at his high school. The garden has had a regenerative effect on the surrounding environment — birds, native lizards, and other insects have returned in great numbers. Other schools have been inspired to start gardens. “I don’t know if we can ever reach the point that we were once at with butterflies, but I think that if everyone gets involved and starts their own garden, they can make their own impact,” Jurman said. 4. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. The significance of butterflies in nature. B. The potential danger to butterflies. C. The competition between species. D. The food web of insects. 5. Why did Jurman develop a butterfly-friendly garden? A. To research butterflies’ favorite plants. B. To boost the quantity of butterflies. C. To spread the knowledge about butterflies. D. To enhance the beauty of his backyard. 6. Which of the following illustrates the shifting baselines theory? A. The rapid decline of butterfly populations worldwide. B. People’s unawareness of gradual change in environment. C. The process of transforming natural landscapes into reserves. D. The impact of human activities on insect habitats. 7. What can be inferred from Jurman’s statement in the last paragraph? A. He is enthusiastic about gardening. B. He feels satisfied with his garden-building efforts. C. He will carry on despite an uncertain future. D. He holds a pessimistic attitude to the future of butterflies. C In summer the extreme heat often makes people sweaty and restless. While people are annoyed by it, experts suggest summer is the best season to discharge your body’s toxins (毒素) and recover your energy. One popular option is hot-stone treatment. Therapists (治疗师) use smooth and heated stones, usually river rocks, to rub or press certain parts of the body, or place them on key points of the body. The warmth of the hot stones will improve blood circulation and also help relax muscles, while sweating is also believed to be good for discharging the body’s toxins. Another popular option is hot-stone baths. The hot-stone bath will help the body discharge toxins and humidity (湿气) that accumulated during the last winter. Summer is the best season to build a good body. Rather than use water or steam to heat and wash the body, people simply wear a coat or something comfortable, and then lie on heated stone tablets made of hot stones, which are warmed to around 45℃. The body will gradually warm up and blood circulation will also be improved. More sweat will come out quickly. The sweat is smooth and fresh, not smelly like that released after sports activities. Such baths bring a number of health benefits, such as anti-aging, improved blood circulation and stress relief. The slimming effect of dieting can even be promoted. Using hot stones for health benefits dates back to ancient times, but the modern renewal of hot-stone massage is generally credited to Mary Nelson, a native of Tucson, Arizona, America, whose trademark is “LaStone Therapy”. The therapy is gaining wide popularity with many people, especially those who have jobs in cool air-conditioned rooms. The hot-stone therapy can help cure many diseases, including back pain. 8. What does the hot-stone treatment can not do? A. Relax your muscle. B. Better your blood circulation. C. Improve your dieting. D. Discharge the toxins inside. 9. What will you do while taking hot-stone bath? A. Accumulate toxins during last winter. B. Bath in hot water or steam. C. Participate in sports activities before it. D. Lie on some hot flat stones. 10. What can be learned about the hot-stone therapy? A. It successfully cured many diseases by itself. B. Its popularity lies in its benefits on health. C. Its origin comes from modern concepts. D. It can help people sweat little in summer. 11. Which of the following could be the best title for the Text? A. Small hot stones, big healthy functions B. Summer, the best time to recover your energy C. Hot-stone therapy, a way to cure all diseases D. Sweating, the best way to release toxins D Laughter comes in many forms, from a polite and quiet laugh to a great hearty laugh. Scientists are now developing an AI system to recreate different laughs in proper social contexts. The team behind the laughing robot Erica said that the system could improve natural conversations between people and an AI robot. “We think that one of the important functions of conversational AI is empathy (共情),” said Dr Koji Inoue, the lead author of the research. “So we decided that one way a robot can empathize with its users is to share their laughter.” The team have set out to teach their AI system the art of conversational laughter. They gathered training data from more than 80 daily dialogues between male subjects and the robot that was initially operated by four actresses remotely. The dialogue data was grouped into social laughs (where polite or embarrassed laughter isn’t involved) and laughter of joy. Based on the audio files, the algorithm (算法) learned the basic characteristics of social laughs, which tend to be softer, and merry laughs, with the aim of mirroring these inappropriate situations. “Our biggest obstructor in the work was identifying the actual cases of shared laughter because as you know, most laughter is actually not shared at all,” said Inoue. “We had to carefully decide exactly which laughs we could use for our analysis and we couldn’t just assume that any laugh can be responded to. It was really not easy work.” The team said laughter could help create robots with their own distinct character although it could take more than 20 years before it would be possible to have a casual chat with a robot like we would with a friend. “One of the things we’d keep in mind is that a laughing robot or algorithm will never be able to understand you or the meaning of laughter,” points out Prof. Sandra Wachter of the Oxford Internet Institute. “But with their development, they might get very good at tricking you into believing they understand what’s going on.” 12. Why did Inoue’s team develop the AI system? A. To better understand human empathy. B. To promote the social skills of robots. C. To explore the differences between laughs. D To assist robots in identifying people's moods. 13. What can robot Erica probably do at present? A. Repeat the details of the 80 dialogues B. Distinguish people by hearing their laughs C. Recreate a scene played by the four actresses D. Master the features of laughs provided by data. 14. What does the underlined word “obstructor” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Potential. B. Barrier. C.

It was a much-anticipated event, attracting participants of all ages. I remember being particularly fascinated by the way those colorful kites danced in the sky, seemingly free from the control of the earth. This year, something about the competition called out to me in a way it never had before. Perhaps it was the stories I had heard of perseverance, or maybe it was the dream of seeing my own kite flying higher than all else. Regardless of the reason, I decided that this would be the year I took part. The road to the competition was not easy. My first difficulty was convincing my parents to let me participate. They were concerned about my studies and how I would manage my time. After much discussion, they agreed, but with the condition that I would not let it influence my academics. With their permission came a newfound determination within me. Next, I needed to build my kite. I had no idea where to start, but luckily, my grandfather was an expert kite maker. He showed me the ropes, teaching me everything from selecting the right materials to balancing the kite for the best flight. We spent hours in his workshop, cutting, pasting, and discussing strategies. His belief in me strengthened my resolve. However, the flying practices were far from successful at first. My kite barely left the ground, let alone flew. Each failed attempt weighed heavily on me, making me question if all this effort was worth it. The taunts (挑衅) of other children who saw my struggles did not help either. But then I remembered why I started this journey — the thrill of seeing my kite fly high and the sense of accomplishment it would bring. I returned to my practice with renewed courage, analyzing what went wrong each time and making adjustments. Gradually, my kite began to rise higher and stay up longer. This progress filled me with pride and hope. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Finally, the day of the competition arrived. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Though I didn’t win first place, I wasn’t disappointed. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
