B When I was a child I was often told what not to eat."You don't want to get fat"was repeated throughout my childhood.It really messed up my relationship with food something that took me years to overcome.Because of this,I'm careful not to connect what my kids weigh with their worth as people.I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often discourage her from a second dessert.But one day when I heard her saying "I think I'm too fat,"my heart sank.It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having an unintentionally negative impact. According to Charlotte Markey,a professor of psychology,food is one of the rare subjects where,as parents,saying less is more."There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through,but I don't think food is one of them,"she says."It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren't necessarily healthy." Instead,she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the“Division(分配)of Responsibility,”where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times,and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume-even if that means sometimes eating more cookies than carrots. Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their decisions."When your child says,'My stomach hurts,'you can say,'Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,""says Markey."Let them feel like they have some control over it." I've been trying out these strategies and I've found that when I'm less restrictive,they do make better decisions."Feeding is a long game,"says Markey."The food you have available makes a huge difference.Even if they don't eat it,they're seeing it.And then all of a sudden it clicks." 高一第二学期期末检测（英语）第4页共12页 24.What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A.She is worried about her kids'weight. B.She is interested in making food She is particular about what she eats D.She is critical of the way she was fed. 25.Which of the following would Markey disagree with? A.Allowing kids to eat cookies sometimes. B.Explaining to kids the risks of taking snacks. C.Talking with kids about school at mealtimes. D.Offering various foods to kids at fixed times. 26.What should kids do according to the"Division of Responsibility"? A.Eat up what is provided for them. B.Share their food with other kids. C.Make diet decisions on their own. D.Help their parents do the dishes. 27.What does the author think of the strategies she has been following? A.Expensive. B.Unbearable. C.Workable. D.Innovative. C Have you ever noticed how the email icon()on many computers and smartphones is of an envelope?Or how camera phones make the sound of a real camera clicking when you take a photo,even though there's no shutter to open or close?These are examples of skeuomorphs,which is when new things take on the appearance or sound of the object they've replaced. Why would new things want to lock like something old?It's all to do with human psychology ()Psychologist James Gibson says one of the ways people understand the world is through affordances-objects whose shape tells you how to use them.When creating new digital technologies,inventors like Steve Jobs of Apple used skeuomorphs so people would know how to use their products.By showing people an image of something they already knew how to use,it made using a cemputer or smartphone easier. 高一第二学期期宋检测（英语）第5页共12.页 However,as people became more familiar with modern technology,some designers argued that skeuomorphs were no longer necessary.Indeed,the younger generation don't need visual references to older items they've never used.This led to something called flat design,where computer desktops and smartphone home screens started to do away with skeuomorphism. Skeuomorphs made a comeback,though,with smart watches.Many smart watches took on the appearance of an old-fashioned watch,with a clock face.This was to encourage people who didn't like digital watches to consider buying a smart watch. While these are the ways skeuomorphs are used today,that doesn't mean it's only a modern phenomenon.In fact,the word was first used in 1899 by the archaeologist Henry Colley March,who realized that some ancient artefacts(人工制品)kept the appearance of older objects,even though there was no practical reason for them to do so.When ancient Greek builders moved from using wood to stone,they recreated some of the characteristics of wooden buildings.From ancient Greek architecture to 21s century technology, skeuomorphs have been a key feature of scientific progress.So,when you wonder about the objects of the future,take a look aiound.Chances are that they will look a lot like the objects of the past. 28.Which of the following is an example of skeuomorphs? A.Facebook B.Starbucks C.Flashlight D.Booking 29.How would people feel about skeuomorphs? A.User-friendly. B.Energy-saving. C.Safety-centered. D.Cost-effective. 30.Why did some designers think skeuomorphs unnecessary? A.Flat design began to take off throughout the world. B.Young people disliked traditional designs of common icons. C.The existing standards of skeuomorphism had been updated. D.Users developed a better understanding of modern technology. 31.What is the last paragraph mainly about? A.The prediction about future objects B.The key feature of scientific progress. C.The ever-lasting presence of skeuomorphs D.The design philosophies of skeuomorphism. 高一第二学期期末检测（英语） 第6页共12页 D On paper,hydrogen (looks like a dream fuel.In practice,things are trickier. Storing meaningful quantities of hydrogen gas requires compressing()it several hundred times.Transforming it into liquid state is another option,but one that requires cooling the stuff to-253C.Either process requires rugged tanks.Over time,hydrogen gas can pass slowly into metals,weakening them and potentially causing damage.Tanks must be built from special materials designed to avoid this breakdown. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute led by Marcus Vogt,think that supplying hydrogen as goop (offers a way around some of its limitations.They have been experimenting with a chemical compound that can be pumped into a container and then persuaded to give off its hydrogen on demand. Their invention,which they nickname "powerpaste",looks like toothpaste.Its main ingredient is magnesium hydride,a compound that when introduced to water,reacts with it to form hydrogen and magnesium hydroxide.The escaped hydrogen can then be redirected into a fuel container,where it reacts with oxygen from the air to generate electric power. The magnesium hydroxide waste is self-emptied from the reactor. Dr Vogt's invention offers several advantages over batteries,petrol and more traditional ways of handling hydrogen.One is the storage of energy that either batteries or petrol can manage.A-second is ease of refilling,which is simply a matter of replacing an empty container of paste with a full one,and topping up the water,which is stored in a separate tank.A third advantage is that,unlike a battery,the paste does not gradually lose its stored energy if it is left on the shelf.Moreover,the paste itself is harmless,and so are the reaction's by-products. But there are still more to work through.Magnesium hydride reacts only slowly with water.To address this,Dr Vogt and his team have found a chemical additive that greatly speeds up the reaction.They have also found a way to ensure that the reaction can be controlled to supply only as much hydrogen as is needed at any given moment. 32.Which of the following best explains"rugged"underlined in Paragraph 1? A.Creative. B.Delicate. C.Huge. D.Tough. 高一第二学期期末检测（英语）第7页共12页 33.What can we know about the invention according to Paragraph 3? A.Magnesium hydride mixed with water releases hydrogen. B.Water and electricity are necessary in the process C.Several chemical reactions occur in the same tank. D.The remaining waste needs removing with extra help. 34.How is Paragraph 4 mainly developed? A.By quoting sayings. B.By drawing comparisons. C.By providing examples. D.By explaining a theory. 35.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.New Clean Energy B.Dream Fuel:Hydrogen Gas C.Advantages of Hydrogen Goop D."Toothpaste"in Your Tank 第二节（共5题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 DeepSeek:A Rising Star in the AI Field In recent years,the field of artificial intelligence has seen great advancements,and one name that has been making waves is DeepSeek.v DeepSeek is an innovative AI technology developed by Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Co,Ltd.It stands out for its powerful language-processing abilities.3.
