It was first proposed in 1857 by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, who won a design competition to create the park. Construction began in 1858 and was completed in 1873. The park is 843 acres and is home to numerous landmarks, including the Central Park Zoo, the Central Park Conservatory Garden, the Bethesda Fountain, the Delacorte Theater and the Central Park Mall. Brooklyn Bridge Brooklyn Bridge was built in 1883, which was designed by John A. Roebling, and its construction was led by his son, Washington Roebling. Before Brooklyn Bridge was built, Brooklyn was considered a separate city entirely, and not classified as part of New York City. The bridge was a crucial link in connecting the two cities, making it much easier for people to travel between the two. Grand Central Station Grand Central Station was a train station located in Midtown Manhattan. Its history dates back to the mid-19th century. By the turn of the 20th century, Grand Central Station was outdated and could no longer handle the growing number of travelers and trains. In 1978, it was designated (指定为)a National Historic Landmark. Now, it is a popular filming location for movies and TV shows and has been featured in numerous productions such as The Avengers, Men in Black, The God father and many more. The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) The American Museum of Natural History is a world-famous natural history museum located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. It was founded in 1869 and is one of the oldest and largest natural history museums in the world. Its permanent exhibits cover a wide range of topics, exploring the natural world and the universe. 1. How long did it take to build the Central Park? A. About 5 years. B. About 10 years. C. About 12 years. D. A bout 15 years. 2. Who designed Brooklyn Bridge? A. Calvert Vaux. B. John A．Roebling. C. Washington Roebling. D. Frederick Law Olmsted. 3. Which of the following appeared in the film The God father according to the text? A. Central Park. B. AMNH. C. Grand Central Station. D. Brooklyn Bridge. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了美国纽约四个必看的历史景点。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Central Park部分中“Construction began in 1858 and was completed in 1873.( 1858年开始建设，1873年完工)”可知，中央公园 1858 年开始建造，1873 年完工。建造时长为1873 - 1858 = 15年。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Brooklyn Bridge部分“Brooklyn Bridge was built in 1883, which was designed by John A. Roebling(布鲁克林大桥建于1883年，由约翰·罗布林设计)”可知，布鲁克林大桥是由约翰·罗布林设计的。故选B项。 3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Grand Central Station 部分“Now, it is a popular filming location for movies and TV shows and has been featured in numerous productions such as The Avengers, Men in Black, The Godfather and many more.( 现在，它是一个受欢迎的电影和电视节目的拍摄地点，并在许多作品中出现，如《复仇者联盟》、《黑衣人》、《教父》等等)”可知，中央车站出现在电影《教父》中。故选C项。 B Some of the classrooms at Taft Elementary in Santa Clara, California, have one disadvantage in common: They don’t have windows. That’s true for Logan Earnest’s fifth-grade classroom, and he felt it was affecting his students. “Most of the day,7/8 of the day, they’re inside,” Earnest said. “And they don’t really get to see any trees. They don’t get to see grass and the blue sky.” He said the white walls may affect the kids’ attention and even their attendance. Former school psychologist Ernesto Rodriguez said the lack of windows does affect kids, because research shows being in and around nature eases anxiety and has benefits for students. Rodriguez is no longer a practicing psychologist—but perhaps he knows now more than ever the impact nature has on mental health. He became a park ranger（护林员）on Southern California’s Catalina Island and began focusing on his passion, landscape photography. Rodriguez used his photography skills to take 360-degree shots of trees, and then he printed them and fit them onto the ceilings of the classrooms. So when students looked up, it felt like they were sitting under a tree. He revealed the picture to Earnest’s fifth-grade students. “Beautiful,” one student named Octavio said as he entered the classroom and saw the new addition. “It’s surprising and great to see that there are trees here.” Earnest said he thought there would be many positive effects on his students. “I think kids are going to want to come in here more frequently. And they are going to be happier,” he said. Rodriguez created a nonprofit called Nature in the Classroom and he’s put up the tree pictures in 10 schools so far. “This is a marriage of both my careers as a school psychologist and a photographer,” Rodriguez said. “And it is really motivating to be able to spend time out in nature creating imagery that I know is going to help people.” 4. What do the first two paragraphs try to tell us? A. Outdoor activities can improve students’ concentration. B. The learning environment in some schools is superior. C. Some students are unwilling to open windows at school. D. A classroom with windows is more beneficial to students. 5. What is Octavio’s attitude toward the tree picture on the ceiling? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Unconcerned. 6. What effect does Earnest expect the tree picture to have on his students? A. They will help each other. B. They will plant more trees. C. Their attendance will go up. D. They will love drawing. 7. What do we know about Rodriguez? A. He has set up seven schools. B. He was satisfied with what he did. C. He has been married for ten years. D. He created a profitable organization. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了Rodriguez通过给教室的天花板张贴关于“树”的照片来改善学生的学习环境。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Some of the classrooms at Taft Elementary in Santa Clara, California, have one disadvantage in common: They don’t have windows.(加利福尼亚州圣克拉拉市塔夫脱小学的一些教室有一个共同的缺点：它们没有窗户。)”及第二段“Former school psychologist Ernesto Rodriguez said the lack of windows does affect kids, because research shows being in and around nature eases anxiety and has benefits for students.(前学校心理学家埃内斯托·罗德里格斯表示，没有窗户确实会影响孩子，因为研究表明，置身于大自然中可以缓解焦虑，对学生有益。)”可推断，这两段要告诉我们有窗户的教室对学生更有利。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““Beautiful,” one student named Octavio said as he entered the classroom and saw the new addition. “It’s surprising and great to see that there are trees here.”(“太棒了，”一位名叫Octavio的学生走进教室，看到新加入的学生时说。“看到这里有树，真是令人惊讶和高兴。”)”可推断，Octavio对于教室天花板上的照片态度是“肯定的”。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“He said the white walls may affect the kids’ attention and even their attendance.(他说，白色的墙壁可能会影响孩子们的注意力，甚至影响他们的出勤率。)”及第五段““I think kids are going to want to come in here more frequently. And they are going to be happier,” he said.(他说：“我认为孩子们会更频繁地来这里。他们会更快乐。”)”可知，Earnest期待他的学生上课出勤率会提高。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““This is a marriage of both my careers as a school psychologist and a photographer,” Rodriguez said. “And it is really motivating to be able to spend time out in nature creating imagery that I know is going to help people.”(Rodriguez说：“这是我作为学校心理学家和摄影师职业生涯的结合。”。“能够花时间在大自然中创造我知道会帮助人们的图像，真的很有动力。”)”可推断，Rodriguez对自己所做的事感到满意。故选B。 C The voice Alexis Bogan had before last summer was dynamic. She loved to sing out songs in the car. In high school, she was a singer in the chorus. Then that voice was gone. Last August, doctors removed a life-threatening tumor (肿瘤) near the back of her brain. When the breathing tube came out a month later, Bogan had trouble saying “hi” to her parents. After several months, she recovered from the illness. However, her speech was still damaged. Friends, strangers and her own family members struggled to understand what she was trying to tell them. In April, the 21-year-old got her old voice back — not the real one, but a voice clone generated by artificial intelligence (AI). Trained on a 15-second time capsule of her teenage voice — sourced from a cooking demonstration video she recorded for a high school project — her synthetic (合成的) but remarkably real-sounding AI voice can now say almost anything she wants. She types a few words or sentences into her phone and the app instantly reads it aloud. Experts have warned that rapidly improving AI voice-cloning technology can increase phone crimes, disturb elections and hurt the dignity of people — living or dead — who never agreed to have their voice recreated to say things they never spoke. But Bogan and a team of doctors at Rhode Island’s Lifespan hospital group believe they’ve found a use that justifies the risks. Bogan is one of the first people who have been able to recreate a lost voice with OpenAI’s new Voice Engine. Some other AI providers, such as the startup ElevenLabs, have tested similar technology for people with speech barriers and loss — including a lawyer who now uses her voice clone in the courtroom. Jeff Harris, OpenAI’s lead on the product, said OpenAI’s next step involves developing a secure “voice authentication (认证)” tool so that users can copy only their own voice. “That might be limiting for a patient like Alexis, who had a sudden loss of her speech capabilities,” he said. “So we do think that we’ll need to have high-trust relationships, especially with medical providers, to give a little bit more unrestricted access to the technology.” 8. What is described about Alexis in paragraph 2? A. What she suffered. B. What she tried to tell others. C. How she developed the disease. D. How she performed in the chorus. 9. What can be learned about AI voice-cloning technology in paragraph 4? A. Experts speak highly of it. B. Improper use of it can cause harm. C. It helps to reduce phone crimes. D. It may protect the dignity of people. 10. What does the author want to indicate by mentioning “a lawyer” in the text? A. The rules on using AI. B. How the technology can help patients. C. The risks of cloning voices. D. What AI providers refuse to do. 11. What will OpenAI do next? A. Fund hospitals. B. Make a speech. C. Record more voices. D. Set a limit on its product. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能帮助失声病人“恢复”声音。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Last August, doctors removed a life-threatening tumor near the back of her brain. When the breathing tube came out a month later, Bogan had trouble saying “hi” to her parents. After several months, she recovered from the illness. However, her speech was still damaged. Friends, strangers and her own family members struggled to understand what she was trying to tell them.(去年8月，医生从她大脑后部附近切除了一个危及生命的肿瘤。一个月后，当呼吸管被取出时，Bogan很难对父母说“你好”。几个月后，她从疾病中康复了。然而，她的语言能力仍然受损。朋友、陌生人甚至她自己的家人都很难理解她想说什么。)”可知，第二段描述了Alexis Bogan因脑部肿瘤失去声音后所遭遇的困难和挑战。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Experts have warned that rapidly improving AI voice-cloning technology can increase phone crimes, disturb elections and hurt the dignity of people — living or dead — who never agreed to have their voice recreated to say things they never spoke.(专家警告说，迅速发展的AI语音克隆技术可能会增加电话犯罪，干扰选举，并伤害那些从未同意用自己的声音说出从未说过的话的人——无论是活人还是死人——的尊严。)”可知，第四段明确指出了AI语音克隆技术不当使用可能带来的危害。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Some other AI providers, such as the startup ElevenLabs, have tested similar technology for people with speech barriers and loss — including a lawyer who now uses her voice clone in the courtroom.(其他一些AI供应商，如初创公司ElevenLabs，已经为有语言障碍和语言丧失的人测试了类似的技术，包括一位现在在法庭上使用她的声音克隆的律师。)”可知，作者提及“一名律师”是为了表明人工智能语音克隆技术对病人的帮助。故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“OpenAI’s next step involves developing a secure “voice authentication” tool so that users can copy only their own voice. “That might be limiting for a patient like Alexis, who had a sudden loss of her speech capabilities,” he said.(OpenAI的下一步包括开发一个安全的“语音认证”工具，这样用户就只能复制自己的声音。他说：“对于像亚历克西斯这样突然丧失语言能力的患者来说，这可能是一种限制。”)”可知，OpenAI下一步的计划是为其产品设定限制。故选D。 D In a groundbreaking discovery by Queen Mary scientists, bumblebees have been shown to possess a previously unseen level of cognitive complexity. The new study, published in Nature, reveals that these bees can learn complex, multi-step tasks through social interaction, even if they cannot figure them out on their own. Led by Dr Alice Bridges and Lars Chittka, Professor of Sensory and Behavioural Ecology at Queen Mary University of London, the research team designed a two-step puzzle box requiring bumblebees to perform two distinct actions in sequence (顺序) to access a sweet reward in the end. Training bees to do this was no easy task, and bees had to be helped along by the addition of an extra reward along the way. This reward was eventually taken away, and these demonstrator bees subsequently had to open the whole box before getting their treat. Dr Bridges emphasises the novelty of this study, “Other bees learned the whole sequence from social observation of these trained demonstrator bees, even without ever experiencing the first step’s reward. But when we let other bees attempt to open the box without a trained bee to demonstrate the solution, they didn’t manage to open any at all.” This study demonstrates that bumblebees possess a level of social learning previously thought to be exclusive to humans. They can share and acquire behaviours that are beyond their individual cognitive capabilities: an ability thought to form the expansive, complex nature of human culture. This research opens a new approach to understanding animal intelligence and the evolution (进化) of social learning. It challenges longstanding assumptions and paves the way for further exploration of the cognitive wonders hidden within the insect world, even suggesting the exciting possibility of cumulative (累积的) culture, the gradual accumulation of knowledge and skills over generations, among seemingly simple creatures. 12. How did researchers train the demonstrator bees? A. By teaching them to share sweets. B. By opening the box for them. C. By offering temporary rewards. D. By giving them easy tasks. 13. What does the underlined word “exclusive” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Unique. B. Dangerous. C. Useful. D. Unknown. 14 What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The finding of the study. B. The abilities of animals. C. The meaning of the study. D. The importance of social learning. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Origin of Human Cumulative Culture B. Bumblebees Master Complex Tasks on Their Own C. Social Interaction Is Critical for Mental Health D. Bumblebees Surprise Scientists with Social Learning Skills 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了大黄蜂通过社会互动完成复杂的任务，其社交学习技能给科学家们带来惊喜。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Training bees to do this was no easy task, and bees had to be helped along by the addition of an extra reward along the way. This reward was eventually taken away, and these demonstrator bees subsequently had to open the whole box before getting their treat.(训练蜜蜂做到这一点绝非易事，蜜蜂必须在训练过程中获得额外的奖励。这个奖励最终被拿走了，这些示范蜜蜂随后不得不打开整个盒子才能得到奖励。)”可知，研究者通过提供暂时的奖励来训练示范蜜蜂。故选C。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“In a groundbreaking discovery by Queen Mary scientists, bumblebees have been shown to possess a previously unseen level of cognitive complexity.(玛丽女王号科学家的一项突破性发现表明，大黄蜂具有一种前所未有的认知复杂性。)”以及第四段“This study demonstrates that bumblebees possess a level of social learning previously thought to be exclusive to humans. They can share and acquire behaviours that are beyond their individual cognitive capabilities: an ability thought to form the expansive, complex nature of human culture.(这项研究表明，大黄蜂具有一种以前被认为是exclusive人类社会学习水平。它们可以分享和获得超出个人认知能力的行为：这种能力被认为形成了人类文化的广阔、复杂的本质。)”可推断，大黄蜂具有一种前所未有的认知复杂性，它们的认知能力形成了独特的人类社会学习水平，所以，画线词的意思和“独特的”意义接近。故选A。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。通读最后一段“This research opens a new approach to understanding animal intelligence and the evolution (进化) of social learning. It challenges longstanding assumptions and paves the way for further exploration of the cognitive wonders hidden within the insect world, even suggesting the exciting possibility of cumulative (累积的) culture, the gradual accumulation of knowledge and skills over generations, among seemingly simple creatures.(这项研究为理解动物智力和社会学习的进化开辟了一条新途径。它挑战了长期以来的假设，并为进一步探索昆虫世界中隐藏的认知奇迹铺平了道路，甚至暗示了在看似简单的生物中积累文化、几代人逐步积累知识和技能的令人兴奋的可能性。)”可知，本段主要介绍了此次研究的意义。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段和第三段可知，本文主要介绍了大黄蜂的社交学习技能让科学家们大吃一惊。D“大黄蜂的社交学习技能给科学家们带来惊喜”符合主题，适合用作标题。故选D。 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。 Overcoming Fear of Failure Have you ever been so afraid of failing at something that you decided not to try at all?

Through the years, Sienna tried her best not to burden her mother. She rarely asked for anything besides what she truly needed and even took part-time jobs to help pay the bills. Every time she received a paycheck from her part-time job, she would save a part of it for one thing she had always dreamt about since she became a senior high student—her prom (毕业舞会)night. As she walked home from school every day, Sienna would pass by a clothes store. She had set her mind to get her dream prom dress from the store and even had drawings of the dress posted on her bedroom wall to motivate her to work hard. The dress Sienna wanted was worth $1500. Sienna would often talk about the dress to her classmate Emily. Emily and Sienna found common ground when they discovered their fathers had left their mothers when they were younger. They related to one another a lot and, since then, have been inseparable. Sienna often went to Emily’s house to do homework together, and Emily’s mother was very kind to her, cooking nice food for them although they were not rich. The morning before the senior prom, Sienna was able to save up enough money to buy the dress finally. Sienna and Emily decided to meet at the school gate to buy the dress together. Sienna was about to leave for school when Emily suddenly called her, crying, “I’m so sorry, Sienna, I know you’ve been looking forward to the prom, but I can’t make it today. My mom was just rushed to the hospital, and I was told she has a couple of days left before she needs to go through surgery. But I’m still $1500 short of her surgery. I have no idea what to do.” Sienna was in front of the mirror when she answered the call, and she had just imagined herself wearing the dress. Then, quickly, her focus shifted towards Emily, who was still crying on the other end of the line. “Don’t worry, Emily, we’ll figure out how to get money for your mom’s surgery, alright? Stay strong for her,” she assured Emily. 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。 After hanging up the phone, Sienna was lost in thought. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Emily and her mom were very grateful to Sienna. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 After hanging up the phone, Sienna was lost in thought. She remembered that Emily and her mom were always nice to her. At the moment, Emily needed her support although it meant she would miss the prom and the dress she had been dreaming of. But life is more important than anything. Finally, Sienna rushed to be by Emily’s side at the hospital. She gave all her money to Emily so that she could contribute to her mom’s treatment. They stayed there for two days until Emily’s mom picked up. Emily and her mom were very grateful to Sienna. But they felt terrible that they had nothing to offer her in return. Sienna assured them that they didn’t need to pay her back. She told them, “You and Emily have been nothing but kind to me. We’re family, and families help each other out during difficult times.” After the surgery, Emily’s mom was able to make a full recovery. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述16岁的Sienna由单亲妈妈抚养长大，为了梦想中的毕业舞会礼服，她努力做兼职攒钱。在毕业舞会前一天，好友Emily打来电话，称妈妈被紧急送往医院，手术费还差 1500 美元，而这笔钱正好是Sienna 攒下买礼服的钱。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“挂断电话后，Sienna陷入了沉思。”可知，第一段可描写Sienna 挂断电话后的思考及行动——决定把自己攒的钱给Emily以救治其母亲。 ②由第二段首句内容“Emil和她妈妈对Sienna感激不尽。”可知，第二段可描写Emily 母女对 Sienna 的感激以及 Sienna 的回应。 2.续写线索：Sienna 思考—— 决定帮助 Emily——赶到医院给钱——陪伴至情况好转 ——Emily母女感激——Sienna 回应——Emily 妈妈康复 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①回忆：remember /recall ②赶到：rush to /hurry to ③提供：offer /provide 情绪类： ①善良的： kind /kind-hearted /benevolent 【点睛】【高分句型 1】She remembered that Emily and her mom were always nice to her.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型 2】She gave all her money to Emily so that she could contribute to her mom’s treatment.（运用了so that引导的目的状语从句 ） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025年春高二年级第二次质量调研 英语试题 考生注意： 1．本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2．答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3．考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4．本卷命题范围：人教版选择性必修第三册～选择性必修第四册Unit1。 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 is the man doing?

It was first proposed in 1857 by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, who won a design competition to create the park. Construction began in 1858 and was completed in 1873. The park is 843 acres and is home to numerous landmarks, including the Central Park Zoo, the Central Park Conservatory Garden, the Bethesda Fountain, the Delacorte Theater and the Central Park Mall. Brooklyn Bridge Brooklyn Bridge was built in 1883, which was designed by John A. Roebling, and its construction was led by his son, Washington Roebling. Before Brooklyn Bridge was built, Brooklyn was considered a separate city entirely, and not classified as part of New York City. The bridge was a crucial link in connecting the two cities, making it much easier for people to travel between the two. Grand Central Station Grand Central Station was a train station located in Midtown Manhattan. Its history dates back to the mid-19th century. By the turn of the 20th century, Grand Central Station was outdated and could no longer handle the growing number of travelers and trains. In 1978, it was designated (指定为)a National Historic Landmark. Now, it is a popular filming location for movies and TV shows and has been featured in numerous productions such as The Avengers, Men in Black, The God father and many more. The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) The American Museum of Natural History is a world-famous natural history museum located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. It was founded in 1869 and is one of the oldest and largest natural history museums in the world. Its permanent exhibits cover a wide range of topics, exploring the natural world and the universe. 1. How long did it take to build the Central Park? A. About 5 years. B. About 10 years. C. About 12 years. D. A bout 15 years. 2. Who designed Brooklyn Bridge? A. Calvert Vaux. B. John A．Roebling. C. Washington Roebling. D. Frederick Law Olmsted. 3. Which of the following appeared in the film The God father according to the text? A. Central Park. B. AMNH. C. Grand Central Station. D. Brooklyn Bridge. B Some of the classrooms at Taft Elementary in Santa Clara, California, have one disadvantage in common: They don’t have windows. That’s true for Logan Earnest’s fifth-grade classroom, and he felt it was affecting his students. “Most of the day,7/8 of the day, they’re inside,” Earnest said. “And they don’t really get to see any trees. They don’t get to see grass and the blue sky.” He said the white walls may affect the kids’ attention and even their attendance. Former school psychologist Ernesto Rodriguez said the lack of windows does affect kids, because research shows being in and around nature eases anxiety and has benefits for students. Rodriguez is no longer a practicing psychologist—but perhaps he knows now more than ever the impact nature has on mental health. He became a park ranger（护林员）on Southern California’s Catalina Island and began focusing on his passion, landscape photography. Rodriguez used his photography skills to take 360-degree shots of trees, and then he printed them and fit them onto the ceilings of the classrooms. So when students looked up, it felt like they were sitting under a tree. He revealed the picture to Earnest’s fifth-grade students. “Beautiful,” one student named Octavio said as he entered the classroom and saw the new addition. “It’s surprising and great to see that there are trees here.” Earnest said he thought there would be many positive effects on his students. “I think kids are going to want to come in here more frequently. And they are going to be happier,” he said. Rodriguez created a nonprofit called Nature in the Classroom and he’s put up the tree pictures in 10 schools so far. “This is a marriage of both my careers as a school psychologist and a photographer,” Rodriguez said. “And it is really motivating to be able to spend time out in nature creating imagery that I know is going to help people.” 4. What do the first two paragraphs try to tell us? A. Outdoor activities can improve students’ concentration. B. The learning environment in some schools is superior. C. Some students are unwilling to open windows at school. D. A classroom with windows is more beneficial to students. 5. What is Octavio’s attitude toward the tree picture on the ceiling? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Unconcerned. 6. What effect does Earnest expect the tree picture to have on his students? A. They will help each other. B. They will plant more trees. C. Their attendance will go up. D. They will love drawing. 7. What do we know about Rodriguez? A. He has set up seven schools. B. He was satisfied with what he did. C. He has been married for ten years. D. He created a profitable organization. C The voice Alexis Bogan had before last summer was dynamic. She loved to sing out songs in the car. In high school, she was a singer in the chorus. Then that voice was gone. Last August, doctors removed a life-threatening tumor (肿瘤) near the back of her brain. When the breathing tube came out a month later, Bogan had trouble saying “hi” to her parents. After several months, she recovered from the illness. However, her speech was still damaged. Friends, strangers and her own family members struggled to understand what she was trying to tell them. In April, the 21-year-old got her old voice back — not the real one, but a voice clone generated by artificial intelligence (AI). Trained on a 15-second time capsule of her teenage voice — sourced from a cooking demonstration video she recorded for a high school project — her synthetic (合成的) but remarkably real-sounding AI voice can now say almost anything she wants. She types a few words or sentences into her phone and the app instantly reads it aloud. Experts have warned that rapidly improving AI voice-cloning technology can increase phone crimes, disturb elections and hurt the dignity of people — living or dead — who never agreed to have their voice recreated to say things they never spoke. But Bogan and a team of doctors at Rhode Island’s Lifespan hospital group believe they’ve found a use that justifies the risks. Bogan is one of the first people who have been able to recreate a lost voice with OpenAI’s new Voice Engine. Some other AI providers, such as the startup ElevenLabs, have tested similar technology for people with speech barriers and loss — including a lawyer who now uses her voice clone in the courtroom. Jeff Harris OpenAI’s lead on the product, said OpenAI’s next step involves developing a secure “voice authentication (认证)” tool so that users can copy only their own voice. “That might be limiting for a patient like Alexis, who had a sudden loss of her speech capabilities,” he said. “So we do think that we’ll need to have high-trust relationships, especially with medical providers, to give a little bit more unrestricted access to the technology.” 8. What is described about Alexis in paragraph 2? A. What she suffered. B. What she tried to tell others. C. How she developed the disease. D. How she performed in the chorus. 9. What can be learned about AI voice-cloning technology in paragraph 4? A. Experts speak highly of it. B. Improper use of it can cause harm. C. It helps to reduce phone crimes. D. It may protect the dignity of people. 10. What does the author want to indicate by mentioning “a lawyer” in the text? A. The rules on using AI. B. How the technology can help patients. C. The risks of cloning voices. D. What AI providers refuse to do. 11 What will OpenAI do next? A. Fund hospitals. B. Make a speech. C. Record more voices. D. Set a limit on its product. D In a groundbreaking discovery by Queen Mary scientists, bumblebees have been shown to possess a previously unseen level of cognitive complexity. The new study, published in Nature, reveals that these bees can learn complex, multi-step tasks through social interaction, even if they cannot figure them out on their own. Led by Dr Alice Bridges and Lars Chittka, Professor of Sensory and Behavioural Ecology at Queen Mary University of London, the research team designed a two-step puzzle box requiring bumblebees to perform two distinct actions in sequence (顺序) to access a sweet reward in the end. Training bees to do this was no easy task, and bees had to be helped along by the addition of an extra reward along the way. This reward was eventually taken away, and these demonstrator bees subsequently had to open the whole box before getting their treat. Dr Bridges emphasises the novelty of this study, “Other bees learned the whole sequence from social observation of these trained demonstrator bees, even without ever experiencing the first step’s reward. But when we let other bees attempt to open the box without a trained bee to demonstrate the solution, they didn’t manage to open any at all.” This study demonstrates that bumblebees possess a level of social learning previously thought to be exclusive to humans. They can share and acquire behaviours that are beyond their individual cognitive capabilities: an ability thought to form the expansive, complex nature of human culture. This research opens a new approach to understanding animal intelligence and the evolution (进化) of social learning. It challenges longstanding assumptions and paves the way for further exploration of the cognitive wonders hidden within the insect world, even suggesting the exciting possibility of cumulative (累积的) culture, the gradual accumulation of knowledge and skills over generations, among seemingly simple creatures. 12. How did researchers train the demonstrator bees? A. By teaching them to share sweets. B. By opening the box for them. C. By offering temporary rewards. D. By giving them easy tasks. 13. What does the underlined word “exclusive” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Unique. B. Dangerous. C. Useful. D. Unknown. 14. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The finding of the study. B. The abilities of animals. C. The meaning of the study. D. The importance of social learning. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Origin of Human Cumulative Culture B. Bumblebees Master Complex Tasks on Their Own C. Social Interaction Is Critical for Mental Health D. Bumblebees Surprise Scientists with Social Learning Skills 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。 Overcoming Fear of Failure Have you ever been so afraid of failing at something that you decided not to try at all?

Through the years, Sienna tried her best not to burden her mother. She rarely asked for anything besides what she truly needed and even took part-time jobs to help pay the bills. Every time she received a paycheck from her part-time job, she would save a part of it for one thing she had always dreamt about since she became a senior high student—her prom (毕业舞会)night. As she walked home from school every day, Sienna would pass by a clothes store. She had set her mind to get her dream prom dress from the store and even had drawings of the dress posted on her bedroom wall to motivate her to work hard. The dress Sienna wanted was worth $1500. Sienna would often talk about the dress to her classmate Emily. Emily and Sienna found common ground when they discovered their fathers had left their mothers when they were younger. They related to one another a lot and, since then, have been inseparable. Sienna often went to Emily’s house to do homework together, and Emily’s mother was very kind to her, cooking nice food for them although they were not rich. The morning before the senior prom, Sienna was able to save up enough money to buy the dress finally. Sienna and Emily decided to meet at the school gate to buy the dress together. Sienna was about to leave for school when Emily suddenly called her, crying, “I’m so sorry, Sienna, I know you’ve been looking forward to the prom, but I can’t make it today. My mom was just rushed to the hospital, and I was told she has a couple of days left before she needs to go through surgery. But I’m still $1500 short of her surgery. I have no idea what to do.” Sienna was in front of the mirror when she answered the call, and she had just imagined herself wearing the dress. Then, quickly, her focus shifted towards Emily, who was still crying on the other end of the line. “Don’t worry, Emily, we’ll figure out how to get money for your mom’s surgery, alright? Stay strong for her,” she assured Emily. 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。 After hanging up the phone, Sienna was lost in thought. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Emily and her mom were very grateful to Sienna. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
