They visit kids who are sick or disabled, arriving with plenty of toys. In past years, Williams has dressed as various superheroes, while Smith dresses up as a Christmas fairy. Though Williams has been spreading joy this way for years, the stimulus came from a joyless place. In 2009, he lost his mother to cancer and fell into a five-year depression. But he dug himself out by honoring his mother’s memory through charitable acts, including collecting gifts for children with special needs. Williams launched his nonprofit, A Future SuperHero and Friends, in 2018. His goal is to bring smiles to children with health challenges, including those fighting life-threatening conditions. “He was the first person to put a smile on AJ’s face,” says Katrina Morris about her son, who was diagnosed with cancer at the age of two. “I will never forget that day.” Williams and Smith start their gift-giving journey by driving through the 48 states before flying to Alaska and Hawaii. Along the way, they stock up on toys, funded by donations through the Future SuperHero website. People nominate families for the pair to visit by filling out an online form, explaining why the family deserves a visit. But they often dip into Williams’s own savings as well. Even more important than the gifts they bring, Williams and Smith spend time with the people who need it most — and that’s not just the children. “The parents seem more excited than the kids sometimes,” Williams told KTVQ News after a visit to Billings, Montana, last year. The pair say they want to make sure families facing tough battles never feel alone. It’s what keeps them going, even when they barely get any sleep in the process. “Every day, I get to wake up and do what I love,” Smith says. “I can’t go wrong with that.” “I don’t look to get paid to do this,” Williams adds. “It’s just healing for me for losing my mother, just keeping her name alive by doing this.” 24. What motivated Willams to start his charitable work? A. The need of relieving his depression. B The wish to inspire others to volunteer. C. The desire for honoring his late mother. D. The hope of gaining support for his nonprofit. 25. What does the underlined word “nominate” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Favour. B. Invite. C. Register. D. Recommend. 26. Why do Williams and Smith spend time with families during visits? A. To deliver gifts to children. B. To make the families feel cared for. C. To understand the families’ struggles. D. To raise money for their organization. 27. How does Williams feel about his work? A. It is exhausting and brings him money. B. It is challenging and makes him social. C. It is comforting and gives him purpose. D. It is enjoyable and wins him friendship. C Polar bears have a hidden-in-plain-sight superpower that has long been known to Indigenous peoples of the Arctic, but only now has been noticed and studied by scientists. Bodil Holst at the University of Bergen in Norway is a physicist who studies the properties of surfaces. Her interest in polar bear fur began when, while watching a TV quiz programme, she saw that the bears hardly show upon infrared (红外线的) cameras because they are so well insulated (被隔热的). That means the temperature of their outer fur is below freezing, Holst realised, but she had never seen a polar bear in wildlife films that was coated with ice, even after swimming in sub-zero waters. “And then I thought, well, how come freezing is not a problem?” she says. This is, after all, a problem for many other land mammals in cold environments. Holst asked researchers at the Norwegian Polar Institute if they knew why polar bear fur doesn’t ice up. None did, but they decided to investigate together. Holst and her colleagues obtained samples of polar bear fur from the wild and compared them with human hair. They found that the force required to remove ice from polar bear hair was a quarter of what was needed for human hair. Washing polar bear fur removed its ice resistance, suggesting that the oily coating on the hairs, known as sebum (皮脂), is the key to its properties. This substance lacks squalene (角鲨烯) but contains some unusual fatty acids which could be unique to polar bears, but we need further studies to look at the composition of animal sebum, says Holst. Arctic peoples have traditionally used the fur in ways that make use of its ice-resistant properties. For instance, Inuit hunters in Greenland have placed small pieces of polar bear fur under the legs of the benches to stop them sticking to ice. They also strapped polar bear fur to the soles of boots while tracking animals, to avoid the noise made by ice-coated surfaces. Holst’s team is now exploring potential applications, such as creating environmentally friendly ski waxes that contain no long-lasting fluorocarbon (碳氟化合物) currently used to prevent icing. A hair wax based on polar bear sebum could also help people who work in cold environments. “I had not thought about that application, but absolutely, that should work,” says Holst. 28. What made Holst curious about polar bear fur? A. Polar bear’s low inner body temperature. B. Polar bear’s invisibility on infrared cameras. C. Polar bear’s resistance to sub-zero environments. D. Polar bear’s appearance in a TV quiz programme. 29. How did Holst and her colleagues carry out their research? A. By keeping track of polar bears in the Arctic. B. By contrasting polar bear fur with human hair. C. By removing polar bear fur’s warming function. D. By observing Arctic peoples using polar bear fur. 30. What contributes to the ice resistance of polar bear fur? A. Its physical properties. B. Its similarity to human hair. C. Its oily coating called sebum. D. Its unique squalene composition. 31. Which of the following is the potential application of polar bear fur? A. Designing non-stick boots. B. Making noise-reducing coats. C. Creating heat-resistant benches. D. Developing ice-free hair products. D People have been using OpenAI’s GPT-4o to generate Ghibli-style illustrations, landscapes, portraits and even events from history and current affairs. While it may seem entertaining, it could be a key test for copyright (版权) 。 Unlike with some previous AI controversies, the company is not promising to add new controls to stop its generator from ripping off (窃取) an artistic style or to stop people from using controversial subjects. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s only concern seems to be the stress it’s putting on the company’s GPUs as the number of weekly active users rose by 11%. “It’s super fun seeing people love images in ChatGPT... But our GPUs are melting,” he wrote. Like some other companies, OpenAI applied restrictions in previous versions of its AI image generators to prevent imitations of the styles of living artists or the portraits of real people. but GPT-4o’s ability to clearly imitate the Ghibli style would appear to suggest OpenAI has cast such measures aside. In a technical paper, OpenAI claims that it’s still taking a “conservative approach” to image rights by including a refusal that activates “when a user attempts to generate an image in the style of a living artist”. But it seems it’s now only applying that to individual artists, not studios. So while GPT-4o should, in theory, refuse to generate an image if the prompt (提示词) asks for the style of Hiyao Mayazaki, it will accept a prompt that asks for the style of Studio Ghibli. The change is curious given that companies can also own copyright, and they’re more likely to have the resources to be able to take legal action. It may be that OpenAI believes that it would be more difficult for a studio to prove ownership over a style. Legal experts argue that a “style” cannot be copyrighted, so the question is whether GPT-4o images use elements of existing works of art. OpenAI now has license arrangements with some companies to allow it to use their content to train its AI models. There has been no statement from either OpenAI or Studio Ghibli about whether this is the case. 32. What is Sam Altman’s worry about GPT-4o? A. Its impact on copyright issues. B. Its GPU pressure from user growth. C. Its inability to control the art imitation. D. Its failure to block controversial topics. 33. What restriction does GPT-4o apply to images? A. It forbids copying studio styles. B. It bans imitating specific living artists. C. It limits the number of images per day. D. It prevents the artworks of real people. 34. Why is GPT-4o’s generation of Ghibli-style images allowed? A. Studio Ghibli can hardly prove its copyright. B. OpenAI has agreements with Studio Ghibli. C. Ghibli-style images boost user engagement. D. Studio Ghibli doesn’t take any legal action. 35. What is the passage mainly about? A. GPT-4o raises art copyright issues. B OpenAI faces tech challenges with GPT-4o. C. OpenAI removes all restrictions on AI imagery. D. AI-generated art is dominating the artistic world. 第二节（共5小题；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。 You choose to eat healthily.

One afternoon, he went to the pet store with his mother and two older brothers, Isaiah and Matt. Isaiah needed food for his bunny, and Matt was looking for a new toy for his bird. While they wandered through the aisles, Brandon stood still in front of a large glass tank. Inside, a red-and-blue-striped fish swam gracefully through the water, while tiny bubbles floated up to the surface. Brandon leaned closer to the glass and asked eagerly, “May I have a pet?” His brothers burst out laughing. “You’re too little,” they said. Even Mom smiled gently and explained that keeping a pet was a big responsibility. “It takes more than excitement,” she said. “You have to be gentle, neat, and dependable.” Brandon’s face fell for a moment, but then he stood straight. “I can be all those things,” he insisted. As soon as they returned home, Brandon set to work. The bedroom he shared with Matt was usually a mess. He picked up his blocks, parked his toy cars neatly, and stacked his books in order. He even folded his pajamas and made the bed. Proud of his effort, he whispered to himself, “I can be neat.” Later that day, Uncle Jay came over with his baby cousin Rubie. But Rubie was crying nonstop, her tiny face red and tear-streaked. Brandon knelt beside her blanket and softly hummed a tune. He hid his face with his hands. “Peekaboo,” Brandon said, lowering his hands. Rubie stopped crying. When Uncle Jay asked for her bottle, Brandon hurried to the kitchen, carefully checking the diaper bag. He returned, holding the bottle upright. Uncle Jay asked Brandon to feed Rubie. 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。 Brandon gently held Rubie and kept the bottle steady. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next afternoon, Brandon returned from school greeted by a big surprise. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024~2025学年度高二年级期末质量检测 英语 全卷满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1．答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2．选择题的作答：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。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3．非选择题的作答：用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4．考试结束后，请将本试卷和答题卡一并上交。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does the man want to do now?

And to do this in a jungle environment, they had to clear rainforest areas for farming and even constructed large underground man-made lakes to store rainwater. M: Astonishing! Someday I’ll definitely visit the Maya ruins. I wonder how a civilization like theirs came to an end. W: That’s still a mystery. Around 900 BC, many Maya cities were abandoned, and scientists are still trying to uncover the reasons behind the collapse. Hey, you know what? I think I know what topic I should present to our classmates in Mr. Smith’s class next Tuesday — the great Maya civilization! 听下面一段较长对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 14.

According to a new study, three fifths to four fifths of the people surveyed have not been completely honest with their doctors about the information that could be relevant to their health. What’s more, more than a third of them didn’t speak up when they disagreed with their doctor’s recommendation. When those people explained why they weren’t straightforward, they said that they didn’t want to be lectured about how bad certain behaviors were. The study included two populations: the first group consisted of 2,011 participants who averaged 36 years old, and 2,499 participants who were 61 on average made up the second group. Scientists from four American universities carried out the study. In the study, the first author expressed her concern. “It’s surprising. If patients are withholding information about what they’re eating, or whether they are taking their medication, it can have significant results for their health. Especially if they have some illness,” she said. 第二部分：阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和 D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Ever thought about enjoying life in Nice with a part-time job?

They visit kids who are sick or disabled, arriving with plenty of toys. In past years, Williams has dressed as various superheroes, while Smith dresses up as a Christmas fairy. Though Williams has been spreading joy this way for years, the stimulus came from a joyless place. In 2009, he lost his mother to cancer and fell into a five-year depression. But he dug himself out by honoring his mother’s memory through charitable acts, including collecting gifts for children with special needs. Williams launched his nonprofit, A Future SuperHero and Friends, in 2018. His goal is to bring smiles to children with health challenges, including those fighting life-threatening conditions. “He was the first person to put a smile on AJ’s face,” says Katrina Morris about her son, who was diagnosed with cancer at the age of two. “I will never forget that day.” Williams and Smith start their gift-giving journey by driving through the 48 states before flying to Alaska and Hawaii. Along the way, they stock up on toys, funded by donations through the Future SuperHero website. People nominate families for the pair to visit by filling out an online form, explaining why the family deserves a visit. But they often dip into Williams’s own savings as well. Even more important than the gifts they bring, Williams and Smith spend time with the people who need it most — and that’s not just the children. “The parents seem more excited than the kids sometimes,” Williams told KTVQ News after a visit to Billings, Montana, last year. The pair say they want to make sure families facing tough battles never feel alone. It’s what keeps them going, even when they barely get any sleep in the process. “Every day, I get to wake up and do what I love,” Smith says. “I can’t go wrong with that.” “I don’t look to get paid to do this,” Williams adds. “It’s just healing for me for losing my mother, just keeping her name alive by doing this.” 24. What motivated Willams to start his charitable work? A. The need of relieving his depression. B. The wish to inspire others to volunteer. C. The desire for honoring his late mother. D. The hope of gaining support for his nonprofit. 25. What does the underlined word “nominate” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Favour. B. Invite. C. Register. D. Recommend. 26. Why do Williams and Smith spend time with families during visits? A. To deliver gifts to children. B. To make the families feel cared for. C. To understand the families’ struggles. D. To raise money for their organization. 27. How does Williams feel about his work? A. It is exhausting and brings him money. B. It is challenging and makes him social. C. It is comforting and gives him purpose. D. It is enjoyable and wins him friendship. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了威廉姆斯和史密斯通过送礼物和陪伴，为患病儿童及其家庭带去欢乐与支持的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But he dug himself out by honoring his mother’s memory through charitable acts, including collecting gifts for children with special needs. (但他通过慈善行为来纪念母亲，包括为有特殊需要的儿童收集礼物，从而走出了困境)”可知，威廉姆斯开始慈善工作的动机是为了纪念他已故的母亲。故选C。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“People nominate families for the pair to visit by filling out an online form, explaining why the family deserves a visit. (人们通过填写在线表格来nominate这对搭档应该拜访的家庭，并解释为什么这个家庭值得拜访)”中的“filling out an online form”推知，人们通过填写在线表格来推荐这对搭档应该拜访的家庭，因此nominate在此处的意思是“推荐”。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The pair say they want to make sure families facing tough battles never feel alone. (这对搭档说，他们想确保面临艰难战斗的家庭永远不会感到孤独)”可知，威廉姆斯和史密斯在拜访期间花时间与家庭相处是为了让这些家庭感到被关心，不感到孤独。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““I don’t look to get paid to do this,” Williams adds. “It’s just healing for me for losing my mother, just keeping her name alive by doing this.” (“我并不指望靠这个赚钱，”威廉姆斯补充道。“这对我来说是一种治愈，因为我失去了母亲，这样做只是为了让她名字永存。”)”可知，威廉姆斯觉得他的工作是安慰性的，给了他目标。故选C。 C Polar bears have a hidden-in-plain-sight superpower that has long been known to Indigenous peoples of the Arctic, but only now has been noticed and studied by scientists. Bodil Holst at the University of Bergen in Norway is a physicist who studies the properties of surfaces. Her interest in polar bear fur began when, while watching a TV quiz programme, she saw that the bears hardly show upon infrared (红外线的) cameras because they are so well insulated (被隔热的). That means the temperature of their outer fur is below freezing, Holst realised, but she had never seen a polar bear in wildlife films that was coated with ice, even after swimming in sub-zero waters. “And then I thought, well, how come freezing is not a problem?” she says. This is, after all, a problem for many other land mammals in cold environments. Holst asked researchers at the Norwegian Polar Institute if they knew why polar bear fur doesn’t ice up. None did, but they decided to investigate together. Holst and her colleagues obtained samples of polar bear fur from the wild and compared them with human hair. They found that the force required to remove ice from polar bear hair was a quarter of what was needed for human hair. Washing polar bear fur removed its ice resistance, suggesting that the oily coating on the hairs, known as sebum (皮脂), is the key to its properties. This substance lacks squalene (角鲨烯) but contains some unusual fatty acids which could be unique to polar bears, but we need further studies to look at the composition of animal sebum, says Holst. Arctic peoples have traditionally used the fur in ways that make use of its ice-resistant properties. For instance, Inuit hunters in Greenland have placed small pieces of polar bear fur under the legs of the benches to stop them sticking to ice. They also strapped polar bear fur to the soles of boots while tracking animals, to avoid the noise made by ice-coated surfaces. Holst’s team is now exploring potential applications, such as creating environmentally friendly ski waxes that contain no long-lasting fluorocarbon (碳氟化合物) currently used to prevent icing. A hair wax based on polar bear sebum could also help people who work in cold environments. “I had not thought about that application, but absolutely, that should work,” says Holst. 28. What made Holst curious about polar bear fur? A. Polar bear’s low inner body temperature. B. Polar bear’s invisibility on infrared cameras. C. Polar bear’s resistance to sub-zero environments. D. Polar bear’s appearance in a TV quiz programme. 29. How did Holst and her colleagues carry out their research? A. By keeping track of polar bears in the Arctic. B. By contrasting polar bear fur with human hair. C. By removing polar bear fur’s warming function. D. By observing Arctic peoples using polar bear fur. 30. What contributes to the ice resistance of polar bear fur? A. Its physical properties. B. Its similarity to human hair. C. Its oily coating called sebum. D. Its unique squalene composition. 31. Which of the following is the potential application of polar bear fur? A. Designing non-stick boots. B. Making noise-reducing coats. C. Creating heat-resistant benches. D. Developing ice-free hair products. 【答案】28. B 29. B 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了北极熊毛发的抗冰特性及其潜在应用。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的句子“Bodil Holst at the University of Bergen in Norway is a physicist who studies the properties of surfaces. Her interest in polar bear fur began when, while watching a TV quiz programme, she saw that the bears hardly show upon infrared (红外线的) cameras because they are so well insulated (被隔热的). (挪威卑尔根大学的Bodil Holst是一位研究表面特性的物理学家。她对北极熊皮毛的兴趣始于一次电视智力竞赛节目，当时她看到北极熊在红外摄像机上几乎看不到，因为它们的绝缘性很好。)”可知，Holst对北极熊感兴趣的是北极熊在红外摄像机上的隐身性。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的句子“Holst and her colleagues obtained samples of polar bear fur from the wild and compared them with human hair. They found that the force required to remove ice from polar bear hair was a quarter of what was needed for human hair. (Holst和她的同事们从野外获得了北极熊的皮毛样本，并将它们与人类的头发进行了比较。他们发现，除去北极熊毛发上的冰所需的力是人类毛发所需力的四分之一。)”可知，Holst和她的同事们通过对比北极熊毛发和人类头发来开展研究。故选B项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的句子“Washing polar bear fur removed its ice resistance, suggesting that the oily coating on the hairs, known as sebum (皮脂), is the key to its properties. (清洗北极熊的皮毛可以去除其抗冰性，这表明毛发上的油性涂层，即皮脂，是其特性的关键。)”可知，北极熊毛发的抗冰性主要归功于其表面的油脂层——皮脂。故选C项。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中句子“Holst’s team is now exploring potential applications, such as creating environmentally friendly ski waxes that contain no long-lasting fluorocarbon (碳氟化合物) currently used to prevent icing. A hair wax based on polar bear sebum could also help people who work in cold environments. (Holst的团队目前正在探索潜在的应用，比如制造不含长效氟碳的环保型滑雪蜡，这种蜡目前用于防止结冰。一种基于北极熊皮脂的发蜡也可以帮助那些在寒冷环境中工作的人。)”可知，基于北极熊皮脂的发蜡可以帮助在寒冷环境中工作的人，所以，北极熊皮毛的潜在应用是研发防冰护发产品。故选D项。 D People have been using OpenAI’s GPT-4o to generate Ghibli-style illustrations, landscapes, portraits and even events from history and current affairs. While it may seem entertaining, it could be a key test for copyright (版权) 。 Unlike with some previous AI controversies, the company is not promising to add new controls to stop its generator from ripping off (窃取) an artistic style or to stop people from using controversial subjects. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s only concern seems to be the stress it’s putting on the company’s GPUs as the number of weekly active users rose by 11%. “It’s super fun seeing people love images in ChatGPT... But our GPUs are melting,” he wrote. Like some other companies, OpenAI applied restrictions in previous versions of its AI image generators to prevent imitations of the styles of living artists or the portraits of real people. but GPT-4o’s ability to clearly imitate the Ghibli style would appear to suggest OpenAI has cast such measures aside. In a technical paper, OpenAI claims that it’s still taking a “conservative approach” to image rights by including a refusal that activates “when a user attempts to generate an image in the style of a living artist”. But it seems it’s now only applying that to individual artists, not studios. So while GPT-4o should, in theory, refuse to generate an image if the prompt (提示词) asks for the style of Hiyao Mayazaki, it will accept a prompt that asks for the style of Studio Ghibli. The change is curious given that companies can also own copyright, and they’re more likely to have the resources to be able to take legal action. It may be that OpenAI believes that it would be more difficult for a studio to prove ownership over a style. Legal experts argue that a “style” cannot be copyrighted, so the question is whether GPT-4o images use elements of existing works of art. OpenAI now has license arrangements with some companies to allow it to use their content to train its AI models. There has been no statement from either OpenAI or Studio Ghibli about whether this is the case. 32. What is Sam Altman’s worry about GPT-4o? A. Its impact on copyright issues. B. Its GPU pressure from user growth. C. Its inability to control the art imitation. D. Its failure to block controversial topics. 33. What restriction does GPT-4o apply to images? A. It forbids copying studio styles. B. It bans imitating specific living artists. C. It limits the number of images per day. D. It prevents the artworks of real people. 34. Why is GPT-4o’s generation of Ghibli-style images allowed? A. Studio Ghibli can hardly prove its copyright. B. OpenAI has agreements with Studio Ghibli. C. Ghibli-style images boost user engagement. D. Studio Ghibli doesn’t take any legal action. 35. What is the passage mainly about? A. GPT-4o raises art copyright issues. B. OpenAI faces tech challenges with GPT-4o. C. OpenAI removes all restrictions on AI imagery. D. AI-generated art is dominating the artistic world. 【答案】32. B 33. B 34. A 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人们用OpenAI的GPT-4o生成吉卜力风格的插图等，这引发了版权问题，还介绍了OpenAI相关限制及GPT-4o能生成吉卜力风格图像的原因。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s only concern seems to be the stress it’s putting on the company’s GPUs as the number of weekly active users rose by 11%. ‘It’s super fun seeing people love images in ChatGPT... But our GPUs are melting,’ he wrote.(OpenAI首席执行官Sam Altman唯一担心的似乎是随着每周活跃用户数量增长了11%，它给公司的GPU带来的压力。他写道：“看到人们喜欢ChatGPT里的图片真是太有趣了……但我们的GPU要不堪重负了。”)”可知，Sam Altman担心的是GPT-4o因用户增长带来的GPU压力。故选B项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In a technical paper, OpenAI claims that it’s still taking a ‘conservative approach’ to image rights by including a refusal that activates ‘when a user attempts to generate an image in the style of a living artist’.(在一篇技术论文中，OpenAI声称，它仍然对图像版权采取“保守的方法”，即当用户试图生成一位在世艺术家风格的图像时，系统会拒绝)”可知，GPT-4o对图像的限制是禁止模仿特定在世艺术家。故选B项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“It may be that OpenAI believes that it would be more difficult for a studio to prove ownership over a style.(可能是OpenAI认为工作室更难证明对一种风格拥有所有权)”可知，GPT-4o被允许生成吉卜力风格的图像是因为吉卜力工作室很难证明其版权。故选A项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“People have been using OpenAI’s GPT-4o to generate Ghibli-style illustrations, landscapes, portraits and even events from history and current affairs. While it may seem entertaining, it could be a key test for copyright (版权).(人们一直在使用OpenAI的GPT-4o来生成吉卜力风格的插图、风景、肖像，甚至历史和时事事件。虽然这看起来可能很有趣，但它可能是对版权的一个关键考验)”可知，本文主要围绕GPT-4o引发艺术版权问题展开。故A项“GPT-4o引发艺术版权问题”能概括文章内容，是文章的主旨。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题；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。 You choose to eat healthily.

(然而，当同一个号码再次拨打时，理查德接听了。)”可知，理查德第一次接到这个电话时，没有接听，即忽视了这次来电。故选B项。 【43题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：他确实养了一只名叫咪咪的猫，已经走失十年了。A. lost丢失；B. hidden隐藏；C. forgotten忘记；D. abandoned抛弃。根据后文倒数第二段倒数第二句的内容“and get lost (并且迷路了)”可知，理查德的宠物猫迷路失踪了。故选A项。 【44题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：事故发生在2012年，也就是理查德收养她的两年后。A. chose选择；B. gifted赋予；C. adopted收养；D. purchased购买。根据后文“When Richard first saw Mimi at an adoption center in 2010 (2010年，当理查德第一次在收养中心看到咪咪时)”可知，理查德是在收养中心收养的这只小猫。故选C项。 【45题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：经过一年多的徒劳寻找，他独自退休后搬到了西班牙，脑海中经常浮现出对咪咪的思念。A. effective有效的；B. urgent紧急的；C. effortless毫不费力的；D. fruitless无果的，徒然的。根据本句空后的“he moved to Spain after retirement alone, with thoughts of Mimi often coming into his mind (他独自退休后搬到了西班牙，脑海中经常浮现出对咪咪的思念)”可知，理查德没有找到走失的小猫，故寻找是无果的。故选D项。 【46题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：2022年，有人把咪咪带到了一个动物收容所，那里的工作人员通过她身上的微芯片找到了她的主人。A. investigated调查；B. identified辨别，找到，发现；C. remembered记住；D. accused控告。根据句中“through a microchip on her (通过她身上的微芯片)”可知，这是走失的猫身上有一个芯片，根据常识宠物身上的芯片一般是关于它的身份的，其中可能包含主人的相关信息，故可推测出通过这个芯片，收容所找到了猫主人的信息，即找出了主人是谁。故选B项。 【47题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：他们给理查德打了电话，促成了这场期待已久的重聚。A. emailed发邮件；B. texted发信息；C. phoned打电话；D. visited拜访。根据前文第一段第三句“However, when the same number called again, Richard answered. (然而，当同一个号码再次拨打时，理查德接听了。)”可知，理查德是通过接电话的方式得知自己走失已久的宠物猫在收容所，故可推测收容所给他打了电话。故选C项。 【48题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：他们给理查德打了电话，促成了这场期待已久的重聚。A. introduction介绍；B. departure启程；C. interaction相互作用；D. reunion团圆。根据后文最后一段第一句“In 2022, Mimi travelled to Spain with Richard. (2022年，咪咪与理查德一同去了西班牙。)”可知，理查德和它的宠物猫在收容所的帮助下重聚，重新生活在一起了。故选D项。 【49题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：2010年，当理查德第一次在收养中心看到咪咪时，他对这只下巴下有白色皮毛的黑猫感到惊讶，说她“美得无与伦比”。A. frightened害怕的；B. amazed惊讶的；C. shocked惊愕的；D. inspired受到启发的。根据后文“saying she was “beautiful…(说她‘美得…’)”可知，理查德觉得这只小猫很美，可推测他惊讶（惊喜）于这只猫咪的美貌，选项C的shocked一词也有“惊讶的”之意，但侧重于描述不太开心的事情。故选B项。 【50题详解】 考查介词短语辨析。句意：2010年，当理查德第一次在收养中心看到咪咪时，他对这只下巴下有白色皮毛的黑猫感到惊讶，说她“美得无与伦比”。A. beyond compare无与伦比；B. to an extent在一定程度上；C. in moderation适中地；D. on average平均而言。根据前文第二段第二句“…he moved to Spain after retirement alone, with thoughts of Mimi often coming into his mind (…他独自退休后搬到了西班牙，脑海中经常浮现出对咪咪的思念)”可知，丢失小猫之后，理查德一直思念她，可推测它有过人之处，故可推测此空特意描述它的美，应该是一种无与伦比的美。故选A项。 【51题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：2012年，他把咪咪留给了一个家人，家人不小心开着门没有关上，咪咪悄悄地溜进了外面的灌木丛里，迷路了。A. unwillingly不情愿地；B. occasionally偶尔地；C. deliberately故意地；D. accidentally意外地。根据本句“get lost (迷路了)”可知，句中提及的开着门这一动作导致小猫走失，肯定不是故意为之，即应该是不小心的意外之举。故选D项。 【52题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：2012年，他把咪咪留给了一个家人，他不小心把门开着，咪咪悄悄地溜进了外面的灌木丛里，迷路了。A. flew飞；B. fell掉落；C. slipped溜；D. skipped跳过。根据本句“left the door open (把门开着)”可知，门处于开着的状态，宠物在门开着的状态下可能会乘着人们不注意的时候，偷溜出家门。故选C项。 【53题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：沮丧的理查德发起了搜索，在周围张贴传单，参观了该地区的每个动物收容所，但徒劳无功。A. posting张贴；B. hanging悬挂；C. sharing分享；D. delivering递送。根据本句“leaflets (传单)”可知，在小猫走失之后，理查德想找到它，制作了传单，而发传单的方式之一就是把传单贴在走失地的墙壁，张贴栏中。故选A项。 【54题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：虽然最初很疏远，但她很快就适应了新家，在阳台上享受夜晚，睡在主人旁边。A. distant疏远的；B. naughty淘气的；C. quiet安静的；D. weak虚弱的。根据句中“she soon settled into her new home (但她很快就适应了新家)”可知，小猫和理查德团聚之后，有一个重新适应的过程，可推测最初团聚是有一点不习惯，即有一种疏离感，关系并不十分亲密。故选A项。 【55题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：理查德说：“如果你十年来一直抱着一线希望，你心爱的东西就会回来。”A. passed on传递；B. let go of舍弃；C. held on to坚持；D. given out分发。根据前文第二段第二句中“…he moved to Spain after retirement alone, with thoughts of Mimi often coming into his mind (…他独自退休后搬到了西班牙，脑海中经常浮现出对咪咪的思念)”可知，理查德一直都想着自己走失的小猫，可推测他一直希望小猫能重回自己身边，即他一直坚持着，充满希望。故选C项。 第二节（共10题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。 The Inner Mongolia autonomous region, a vast territory in northern China, has recently gained global ____56____ (recognize) for its ecological restoration efforts, particularly in the Kubuqi Desert.

One afternoon, he went to the pet store with his mother and two older brothers, Isaiah and Matt. Isaiah needed food for his bunny, and Matt was looking for a new toy for his bird. While they wandered through the aisles, Brandon stood still in front of a large glass tank. Inside, a red-and-blue-striped fish swam gracefully through the water, while tiny bubbles floated up to the surface. Brandon leaned closer to the glass and asked eagerly, “May I have a pet?” His brothers burst out laughing. “You’re too little,” they said. Even Mom smiled gently and explained that keeping a pet was a big responsibility. “It takes more than excitement,” she said. “You have to be gentle, neat, and dependable.” Brandon’s face fell for a moment, but then he stood straight. “I can be all those things,” he insisted. As soon as they returned home, Brandon set to work. The bedroom he shared with Matt was usually a mess. He picked up his blocks, parked his toy cars neatly, and stacked his books in order. He even folded his pajamas and made the bed. Proud of his effort, he whispered to himself, “I can be neat.” Later that day, Uncle Jay came over with his baby cousin Rubie. But Rubie was crying nonstop, her tiny face red and tear-streaked. Brandon knelt beside her blanket and softly hummed a tune. He hid his face with his hands. “Peekaboo,” Brandon said, lowering his hands. Rubie stopped crying. When Uncle Jay asked for her bottle, Brandon hurried to the kitchen, carefully checking the diaper bag. He returned, holding the bottle upright. Uncle Jay asked Brandon to feed Rubie. 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。 Brandon gently held Rubie and kept the bottle steady. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next afternoon, Brandon returned from school greeted by a big surprise. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Brandon gently held Rubie and kept the bottle steady. Rubie drank quietly, her eyes locked on his face. “You’re so gentle with her,” Mom whispered, watching from the doorway. Brandon smiled, staring at the tiny white bubbles floating in Rubie’s bottle, remembering his wish and her words about being “dependable.” When Rubie finished, he patted her softly, earning a nod of approval from Uncle Jay. As he handed Rubie back, Mom added, “You’ve proven something today.” Her tone hinted at a secret, making Brandon’s heart race. The next afternoon, Brandon returned from school greeted by a big surprise. Waiting on the table was a small fish tank, bubbling softly. “Happy early birthday,” Dad said. “You’ve shown us you’re ready.” Brandon’s eyes widened with joy. He knew exactly which fish he wanted — the red-and-blue-striped one. The next day, they brought it home. Every morning, he fed it and checked the water carefully. Looking at the rising bubbles, Brandon smiled. He had earned more than a pet — he had earned trust, and taken his first real step toward growing up. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。Brandon是家中最小孩子，渴望被当作大人。他去宠物店想养宠物遭拒，回家后努力整理房间，又通过哄哭不停的表妹Rubie并喂她喝奶，展现温柔可靠。 【详解】1.段落续写 ① 由第一段首句“Brandon轻轻地抱着Rubie，稳住瓶子。”可知，第一段可以描写Brandon温柔照料Rubie，并获得妈妈的称赞和叔叔的认可。 ② 由第二段首句“第二天下午，Brandon放学回家，迎接他的是一个巨大的惊喜。”可知，第二段可以描写Brandon收到生日礼物（小鱼缸）的惊喜场景，他选择小鱼的过程以及他照顾小鱼的认真态度，最后总结他通过自己的努力赢得了信任，迈出了成长的第一步。 2.续写线索：温柔照料Rubie—— 展现可靠品质 —— 妈妈的神秘暗示 —— 收到鱼缸惊喜 —— 选择心仪小鱼 —— 通过照料感悟成长与信任 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①低声说：whisper/say in a low voice/murmur ②盯着：stare at/fix one’s eyes on ③喂：feed/give food to 情绪类 ①快乐的：happy/delighted ②喜悦：joy/delight/happiness 【点睛】【高分句型1】Mom whispered, watching from the doorway. (运用了现在分词watching作状语) 【高分句型2】When Rubie finished, he patted her softly, earning a nod of approval from Uncle Jay.

According to a new study, three fifth to four fifths of the people people surveyed have not been completely honest with their doctors about the information that could be relevant to their health. What's more, more than a third of them didn't speak up when they disagreed with their doctor's recommendation. When those people explained why they weren't straightforward, they said that they didn't want to be lectured about how bad certain behaviors were. The study included two populations. The first group consisted of two thousand and eleven participants who average thirty six years old, and two thousand four hundred and ninety nine participants who were sixty one on average, made up the second group. Scientists from four american universities Carried out the study. In this study, the first author expressed her concern. It's surprising if patients are withholding information about what they're eating or whether they are taking their medication. They can have significant results for their health, especially if they have some illness, he said.
