The branch looks much bigger than their bodies. But with their concerted effort, they can carry it. This scene powerfully illustrates how cooperation creates strength. Individually, ants appear small, but their unity allows them to tackle challenges far beyond their size. It mirrors human experiences: whether in workplaces or communities, collective effort often produces remarkable results. The ants’ orderly progress teaches us that shared goals and teamwork can turn even the tiniest contributions into meaningful achievements. True power, indeed, grows from collaboration. 第二节 读后续写（此范文仅供参考） During the afternoon hike, Ronnie tripped over a hidden root and hurt his ankle. As he cried in pain, the group gathered around, unsure of what to do. Despite a few metres away, I immediately rushed forward to help him. "Are you okay, Ronnie?" I asked, examining the injured ankle. Ronnie, shocked by my kindness, said hesitantly, "I think so, but I can't put any weight on it." I offered Ronnie a shoulder to lean on, helping him to his feet as the others watched in astonishment. Together, we made our way back to the campsite, supporting Ronnie every step. At the campsite, Ronnie turned to me, "Thanks, Tim. I... I didn't expect you to help me." "It's no big deal, Ronnie. We're classmates after all." I responded. Upon hearing what I had said, Ronnie was deeply moved and grabbed my hands tightly. Surprised at this sudden turn of events, I managed a smile. Ronnie was ashamed that it had taken him such a long time to realise the impact of his actions. From then on, Ronnie began standing up for me whenever others tried to belittle me. Meanwhile, I regained my confidence, feeling more at ease in class and social activities. As my self-confidence grew, so did our friendship. 英语参考答案详解 第二部分　阅读理解 第一节 A篇 【语篇解读】本篇是应用文，主题语境为人与社会。本文介绍了一则“人类命运共同体”国际漫画插画展2025征稿启事。 21.

There are two things that you should do before reading a passage. One is to consider your reason for reading. Are you reading only for the pleasure? Or are you reading to search for some facts? Your purpose should decide how you read. Secondly, you should think about what the passage will tell you. What do you already know about that topic? This will help you to have a better understanding of the passage you are preparing to read. When you are ready to read, you should begin by skimming the passage, that is, read quickly through the passage. In doing so, you should pay attention to the title and note the key words. While skimming, you should always make a note of the topic sentence of each paragraph. The topic sentence often contains the main idea of the paragraph. Once skimming is done, you should read through the passage in more detail. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$吕梁市2024-2025学年高二第二学期期末调研测试 英语试题 (本试题满分150分，考试时间120分钟。答案一律写在答题卡上) 注意事项： 1,答题前，考生务必用0.5毫米黑色签字笔填写好自已的姓名、班级、考号等信息。 2.考试作答时，请将答案正确地填写在答题卡上对应的答题区域内，答在本试卷上无效。 3.第一部分听力满分30分，不计入总分。 4.考试结束后，将容题卡交回。 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

B A few years back,I was leaving the animal shelter where I worked only to find a baby goat at the end of the driveway.The shelter's owners are known animal rescuers, and I figured someone had dropped him over the fence.The kid was visibly nervous but stood perfectly still as I approached. I'm an animal lover and I've brought home dogs,cats,horses,and chickens,but never a goat.The tiny kid was too adorable to resist.I named him Rocky,and with the help of some experienced friends,bottle-fed him in my bathroom. 高二英语第4页（共12页） Rocky proved to be quite intelligent.When he was about a week old,I knocked on the bathroom floor and said"lie down".I was astonished when he dropped down.I was even more amazed when he did it three times in a row. A quick study!Rocky learned to lie down,bow,and turn in a circle in no time.He is house-trained,jumps in the back of my car when I say "load up",and spends the day wandering with my dogs,whom he considers his fellow group.He knows the name of everything I feed him,and even joins us for trips to the dog park. I love to train animals and often take my dogs to shows where they can perform their tricks.Rocky did his first show when he was just six weeks old.He knew only a few tricks then,but he did them perfectly and never misbehaved or got nervous in front of the crowd. Now he has a whole inventory ()he'll come when called,walk on a string, wave,smile for the camera("Say cheese!"),and more.Rocky and my dogs perform regularly at schools,nursing homes,and charity events.Rocky can even "read"his tricks off cards,which always earns the most applause. It's hard to believe that the baby goat nobody wanted turned out to be one of the smartest and most good-natured animals I've ever had.He's by far the sharpest of my bunch-just don't tell the dogs! 24.How did the author acquire Rocky? A.He bought him from a pet store. B.He received him from a shelter owner. C.He saw him inside the shelter building. D.He found him abandoned near his workplace. 25.What first demonstrated Rocky's intelligence at one week old? A.Playing with the narrator's dogs. B.Jumping into the car on command. C.Recognizing different foods by name. D.Obeying the“lie down”command repeatedly. 26.What does Rocky's view of the dogs as"his fellow group"imply? A.He sees them as his protective family group. B.He increasingly dominates the dogs. C.He competes with them for food. D.He fears them and avoids interaction. 高二英语第5页（共12页） 27.Which receives"the most applause"during performances? A.Smiling for the camera. B.Waving at the audience. C.Walking perfectly on a string. D.Performing tricks by reading cards. C Even if you don't worry that artificial intelligence(AI)will destroy the human race, you might concern that its fearsome appetite for electricity will destroy the environment. Asking ChatGPT a question means using ten times more energy than an old-fashioned search inquiry.Google's greenhouse-gas emissions()rose by nearly half between 2019 and 2023,as the AI boom took off;Microsoft's have been up by almost 30%since 2020.With huge investments in new data centres planned,more rises seem to happen. But the spread of such pessimistic sentiments(悲观情绪)is inappropriate.In absolute terms,AI may be less energy-hungry than many people assume.Better still,AI can help remove carbon from the industries that have proved hardest to clean up. Consider AI's appetite for energy first.The International Energy Agency(IEA) thinks that electricity consumption by data centres could as much as triple()in the next five years.Even if energy usage soars,though,the base is still low.Data centres today account for about 1.5%of the world's electricity consumption-and the vast majority of that is due to streaming,social media and online shopping,not Al. Moreover,some of AI's electricity use will help with greening the economy.As we explain in this week's Science technology section,AI excels at identifying complex patterns,processing giant data sets and upgrading systems,all of which can help reduce emissions.AI is already helping improve the efficiency of electrical networks,cut fuel use in shipping and spot otherwise invisible leaks of methane,a powerful greenhouse gas. The task for policymakers and industry bosses is to maximize such benefits while minimizing the climate impacts.The most elegant solution would be for governments to impose a proper price on carbon and leave the market to do its work. 28.What is the author's main argument regarding AI's energy consumption? A.Governments must immediately stop AI development. B.AI will cause environmental disaster to the human race. C.Current concerns about AI's energy impact are overstated. D.Streaming services and social media pose greater threats than Al. 29.What does the underlined word"soars"in paragraph 2 most probably mean? A.Increases quickly. B.Looks normal. C.Falls sharply. D.Comes easily. 高二英语第6页（共12页）》 30.How does AI help to reduce emissions? A.By shutting down high-pollution factories. B.By developing new carbon capture technologies. C.By completely replacing traditional energy sources. D.By conducting AI-powered data and system operations 31.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.Data Centres:Powering the Future B.Google and Microsoft's Carbon Crisis C.AI:Energy Consumer or Climate Rescuer D.AI:Environmental Threat or Economic Booster D Around 1745,Chinese emperor and poet Qianlong was sailing on the Yangtze River toward Zhenjiang when he encountered a breathtaking sight:a group of Yangtze finless porpoises()emerged from the water's surface.He wrote a poem about it. "Porpoises chased moonlight on silvered tides,as dragons summoned storm-clouds loom in sight..” Almost 300 years later,scientists wanted to chart the historical range of this critically endangered animal,so they searched hundreds of ancient Chinese poems to seek mentions of it,hoping to map its historical distribution()and thus better understand threats to this species.The Yangtze finless porpoises,the world's only freshwater porpoises,are found in China's Yangtze River.About 1,250 individuals are left in the wild. "Having access to past data allows us to detect when declines began and relate those changes to potential threats like habitat destruction,climate change,overhunting, disease or the introduction of invasive species,"says Yaoyao Zhang,an ecologist at the Institute of Hydrobiology,Chinese Academy of Sciences.Zhang and her team turned to ancient poems because official records rarely mentioned these animals."Using an online database of Chinese literature,we searched for various historical names of the Yangtze finless porpoise across dynastic poetry,confirming each mention to ensure it referred to the porpoise and not other animals,"Zhang says. The research,published on Monday in Current Biology,revealed 724 poems that mentioned the porpoises.Half contained information about where they were seen.This window into the past revealed that the porpoises'range has decreased by around 65 percent over 1,400 years,with a rapid decline in the past century.Poems from the distant 高二英语第7页（共12页） past mentioned these animals living in tributaries()and lakes along the Yangtze, but in more recent poems,these references dramatically decreased.
