Contacting the local sales team B During the Spring Festival, Ne Zha 2 has become a phenomenon-level animated film, with cinema attendance rate reaching over 90%. When Ne Zha and Ao Bing had a fierce battle with Infinite Immortal, the vivid sound effects made me feel as if I were right there on the scene. Suddenly, a question popped into my mind: How were these impressive sounds created? Out of curiosity, I started searching back home and then entered the mysterious world of Foley artists. The term Foley was coined in memory of Jack Foley and his contribution to the art of sound effects. When sound effects were first added into movies, he innovated a unique way of creating sound effects, recording sounds onto a single track of audio and adding them to actions happening on the screen accordingly. Foley artists are like magicians of sound, adding vitality to films. In general, attention to detail is fundamental to successful Foley artists. They also need to have the ability to recreate sounds themselves, which requires creativity and imagination. Getting the perfect sound requires trial and error, which is why patience and persistence are equally important. Even though Foley artists often work behind the scenes, their cooperation with actors is crucial to capturing the essence of a film. “You have to act the scene…You have to be the actors and get into the spirit of the story the same as the actors did, on the set. It makes a big difference,” Jack Foley once stressed. As I was digging deep, titles like “Fewer than 100 Foley Artists Remain Active Worldwide” indeed struck me hard. I stumbled upon the sad truth that while Foley work is an incredible addition to movies, the small number of working artists today may put it on the path to becoming a dying art. However, Foley work, to my relief, may change as virtual reality develops. Next time you’re watching a movie, remember those subtle sounds. They are like secret messages from Foley artists, reminding us they’re always there. 4. What contribution did Jack Foley make to the film industry? A. He invented recording equipment. B. He pioneered sound effect creation. C. He advanced live recording methods. D. He improved background music. 5. What did Jack Foley value most? A. Being sensitive to details. B. Practising trial and error. C. Stimulating active imagination. D. Being at one with actors. 6. What does the last paragraph imply? A. Foley work may be redefined in the future. B. Foley artists may soon be replaced by virtual reality. C. Modern audiences are well aware of Foley work. D. Foley work is no longer a must as technology develops. 7. What is the writing purpose of the text? A. To explore the reasons for Ne Zha 2’s success. B. To persuade readers to engage in Foley work. C. To discuss the challenges Foley work will face. D. To introduce Foley work and its significance. C Dancing lowers the depression associated with Parkinson’s disease, and the benefits can be seen in multiple ways, a new study shows. “It was very cool to see dance had a positive effect on the mood circuits in the brain, which we could see in the imaging from MRI brain scans (扫描),” says Joseph DeSouza, author of the study. “These improvements were also reported by the participants via survey. Our study is the first to demonstrate these benefits across these two detection methods.” The study followed 23 participants with Parkinson’s disease from the Sharing Dance Parkinson’s program at Canada’s National Ballet School, along with family members or caregivers. Participants took weekly dance classes for 8 months, progressing from simple leg and foot work to more complex movements like waltzes and more. The research team focused on the subcallosal cingulate gyrus (SCG), a brain region linked to depression. They measured mood and depression before and after each class using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (老年抑郁量表) and conducted regular MRI scans. The researchers found that after each dance class, reported depression rates dropped, and the effect was increasing from class to class, with significant improvements after 8 months. “We showed that SCG’s BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) signal decreases while dancing, which means the SCG was not functioning as fast as it would if you had depression,” says DeSouza. “Parkinson’s disease is often accompanied by depression long before motor symptoms (症状) appear.” Dance is thought to have a double benefit, with music activating the brain’s reward centers, and the movement acting on sensory and motor circuits. DeSouza, dancing with participants for 14 years, says that while dancing is not a treatment for Parkinson’s disease by itself, the benefits are clear. “We’re not trying to cure it with dance,” he says. “What we’re trying to do is to have people live a better quality of life. This goes for both the patients, and their families that take care of them.” 8. What do we know about the results of the two detection methods? A. They fall short of expectations. B. They are more accurate than before. C. They are distinct from each other. D. They show consistent conclusions. 9. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By referring to previous studies. B. By making pre-post comparisons. C. By employing computer modeling. D. By conducting drug experiments. 10. What did the researchers find about the SCG? A. It is in charge of motor system. B It can be measured by the GDS. C. Dancing slows down its functioning. D. Depression weakens its BOLD signal. 11. What is the best title of the text? A. Dancing Away Parkinson’s Blues B. Dancing: Multiple Benefits To Be Seen C. Dancing With Your Mood Circuits D. Dancing: A Journey To Mental Well-being D Imagine an artificial intelligence model that can watch and understand moving images like you and me. Now, scientists have made this a reality by creating MovieNet: an innovative AI that processes videos much like how our brains interpret real-life scenes. This brain-inspired AI model can perceive moving scenes by simulating how neurons (神经元) make real-time sense of the world. While conventional AI excels at still image recognition, MovieNet is designed to understand complex, dynamic scenes, allowing it to recognize small changes over time. To create MovieNet, Hollis Cline, senior author of the study, examined how animals’ brains process real-world scenes. Specifically, he studied how tadpoles’ (蝌蚪的) neurons respond to moving stimuli. Tadpoles’ neurons process these visual inputs like solving puzzle pieces: each piece alone may not make sense, but together they form a complete image in motion. Different neurons process various “puzzle pieces” of a real-life moving image, which the brain then combines to form a continuous scene. Using this understanding, the researchers trained MovieNet to process video clips by identifying small visual signals, allowing it to distinguish between small changes in scenes. In testing, MovieNet achieved 82.3% accuracy, outperforming trained human observers by 18% and doing much better than existing AI models. Beyond its higher accuracy, MovieNet is more environment-friendly. Conventional AI requires vast amounts of data and energy, but MovieNet compresses (压缩) data like a zipped file, reducing environmental impact. “We’ve also made AI far less demanding,” says Cline. MovieNet could also transform medicine. It might help detect early signs of diseases by tracking small movement changes that are difficult for human eyes to detect. Looking ahead, the team plans to improve MovieNet’s ability to adapt to different environments and enhance its potential applications. “By designing models that think like living organisms (有机体), we can achieve efficiency levels that aren't possible with traditional AI,” says Cline, “Biology is a gold mine.” 12. What does the underlined word “simulating” mean in paragraph 2? A. Copying. B. Inspiring. C. Demonstrating. D. Recognizing. 13. MovieNet is trained ________. A. to integrate dynamic images B. to increase visual inputs C. to feed on information pieces D. to look into tadpoles’ neurons 14. According to paragraph 5, what is an advantage of MovieNet? A. Its powerful data storage. B. Its low energy consumption. C. Its control of medical diseases. D. Its improvement on drug effects. 15. What can be concluded from Cline’s words in the last paragraph? A. Biology brings us financial profits. B. Living organisms can outperform AI. C. AI can assist in biological development. D. Drawing inspiration from biology is promising. 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。 Body Language in the Virtual World As social beings, we naturally interpret body language as an expression of mood or intention in real life. ___16___ Here are four body language considerations that will result in your bigger digital impact in video calls. Make a positive and lasting impression. The way you hold yourself affects how others perceive you. ___17___ Similarly, slumping on the sofa conveys unwillingness to take the task seriously. Maintaining a proper posture by sitting up straight is the key to making a positive impression from the beginning. ___18___ In video calls, you need to be aware that less is more. Too many hand movements can be distracting in a small screen — people need time to take in what they are hearing. And when you are listening to others, glancing at your palms and drumming your fingers could also indicate to others that you are either bored or frustrated. Guard against “resting bored face” syndrome (综合征). Our facial expressions are visible on screen, so demonstrating an objective response to whatever you see and hear is a must-have. But communicating that you are mindful at all times is challenging during a video meeting when “resting bored face” syndrome can set in — a facial expression that others register as boredom. ___19___ Be present and active — don’t multitask. Don’t check your email or tackle other work tasks when you join a video call. ___20___ While you may be confident that you can successfully do two or more things at once, and not lose track of what’s being discussed, the non-verbal clues you are sending other participants will say otherwise. A. Master the art of employing gestures. B. Use fewer hand movements to avoid conflicts. C. Even if you are silent, others can see what you are up to. D. For instance, crossed arms can imply defensiveness or annoyance. E. This also applies to our virtual workplace with common video calls. F. To avoid this, remember to nod, smile and lean forward occasionally. G. Therefore, it’s effective to straighten up to leave a positive impression. 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 After a recent business trip, I was heading back to my home in Northern California.

Midweek, no one was around here. The nearby protected wetlands ran along the shore. Songbirds, ducks, and Canada geese slid by on the breeze, touching down briefly on the water’s surface before flapping (拍打)and quacking their way back up into the sky. Standing at the lake’s edge, I cast my fishing line onto the smooth-as-glass water. Down the shoreline was Isaiah, who liked to fish alone, away from noise and other people. Out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of a few great northern loons (潜鸟) crowded together not far from the shoreline. Loons usually travel alone, but here were five of them in a group. One loon, making painful sounds, swam away from the group, toward me. It seemed like it was trying to get my attention. ”Isaiah! Come here!” Isaiah pressed his finger against his lips, pointed to where he had cast his line, and shook his head gently. “Just get over here. Now!” I yelled. He laid his fishing pole down and dragged his feet, moving toward me at a snail’s pace. “Come here!” I yelled again. “Take a look at that loon. It keeps getting closer and closer!” On hearing this, Isaiah fastened his pace. The loon stopped in the shallow water near shore, not ten feet away from us. It was so close that we could see its red eyes. Oddly, the bird’s wings were held tight against its spotted black-and-white body. Though scared of its sharp beak (喙), we stepped into the water cautiously. As we approached the loon, we both saw something around its neck. Reaching down, I touched its head, my heart racing. I could see there was a shiny red-hook deeply stuck in its body, and fishing line was wrapped tightly around its neck. Left like this, the loon couldn’t fly or fish or survive. It was asking us to help! 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Isaiah rushed to grab the scissors from the toolbox and came back. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With a sigh of relief I set the loon down on the water. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 沈阳市第120中学2024-2025学年度高二下学期 第二次质量监测 科目：英语 满分：150分 时间：120分钟 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.

There will also be a display of traditional Chinese food and snacks, allowing us to taste the flavors of the season. I do hope you can join us and experience this cultural celebration firsthand. Yours, Li Hua 第二节(满分25分) 【47题答案】 【答案】 Isaiah rushed to grab the scissors from the toolbox and came back. While turning back to the spot, he shouted and asked me to grab the poor loon. Realizing the fact that he wanted to help free the loon from the deadly fishing line and hook, I did as he required. Upon arrival, he knelt down and cut the fishing line first, carefully but quickly, in case the scissor hurt the loon. Then, he unfolded the red-hook that stuck in its body.At the moment, the loon sounded pleasantly.(76) With a sigh of relief, I set the loon down on the water. The poor creature flapped its wings happily, quacking its way in the lake. Then, it swam toward us again. Using its head, it touched our hands, seemingly saying that we were to be thanked. We felt greatly moved and excited. We clearly knew that what we had done to the creature was what we should do in our daily life. We are all masters of our environment, just like living things. We should live in peace with them. (78) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
