It is good for the upper respiratory (呼吸的) system and the legs. It helps us control our weight and blood sugar. Walking is also a good way to help you make more friends, bringing chances to see new things and meet new people. Personally, I try to walk at least 5 miles daily. As well as walking, I also cycle around Xiamen. Cycling is great for weight loss and helps to build stamina, which allows you to cycle for hours without getting tired. However, cycling does not allow for the same level of social contact as walking. It is for this reason that I would strongly suggest that you try long-distance walking if you want to be physically healthy. I originally started walking around Xiamen because I didn’t have a car, but I soon started to enjoy the walking for its own sake. I have also made many friends during my walks. It’s not uncommon for my 5-mile walk to sometimes take as long as 2 or 3 hours, because I stop to chat with different shop owners along my route. These days, if I skip my walk for even one day, the people in the shops may want to know why I didn’t come. I’ll never forget the first time some people followed me when I was walking, and asked if it was okay for them to walk with me. I really didn’t know what to say, so I just replied that I didn’t mind. I have been invited for lunch, dinner, and sometimes just to sit and drink tea with total strangers. There is nothing more pleasant than walking past a schoolyard and hearing all the kids say hello to me. 4. What are walking’s physical benefits mentioned in the passage? A. Helping weight loss and stretching legs. B. Doing good to legs and controlling weight. C. Strengthening muscles and building bones. D. Controlling blood sugar and relaxing nerves. 5. What does the underlined word “stamina” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Mental focus. B. Short-term power. C. Quick reaction speed. D. Long-lasting energy. 6. Why does the author talk about his walking experiences? A. To criticize strangers. B. To introduce ways to walk. C. To show us the joy of walking. D. To teach us communication methods. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Cycling for Weight Loss B. Building Social Connections C. Exploring Urban Exercise Trends D Walking for Health and Social Contact C A few years ago, Casey Harrell was diagnosed with a serious brain disease that left him paralyzed (瘫痪的) and unable to speak. Last year, some scientists put tiny electrodes (电极) into the speech center of his brain. They pick up brainwaves that a computer can convert into words. Today, the 46-year-old man can get his “voice” back. Using recordings of his voice before his disease, the scientists were able to train an artificial intelligence model. With its model, Harrell now “speaks” through an electronic voice synthesizer (合成器). And thanks to that AI, it sounds similar to the natural voice he once had. “One of the things that people with my disease suffer from is loneliness,” Harrell says. These individuals don’t feel like they matter anymore. But thanks to this tech, he and others like him might be able to actively participate in society again. This new technology offers “by far the most accurate speech-decoding (语音解码) ever developed,” says David Brandman, one of the scientists who implanted the devices in Harrell’s brain. “This technology isn’t a mind reader. It can’t listen to someone’s secret thoughts. It only works when the user wants it to.” Electrical signals from the brain travel along neurons to control the muscles for every movement in the body. Different parts of the brain turn on each time you wave your hand, run or smile. Those electrical signals travel down paths to activate the muscles you want to use. But injury or disease can damage parts of those neural (神经的) paths. This can keep the electrical signals from reaching the muscles needed to move or speak. Since 2021, Brandman’s team has been working to restore speech through technology known as brain-computer interfaces (接口) or BCIs. BCIs use devices to access brain signals. A computer learns to interpret what the brain signals mean. Later, it can translate those signals into machine movement. 8. What was Harrell’s condition before treatment? A. He was sad about being blind. B. He was unable to walk and speak. C. He had muscle and hearing problems. D. He suffered from serious memory loss. 9. What is the technology’s effect in helping individuals like Casey Harrell? A. Making them feel lonelier. B. Replacing their traditional treatment. C. Enabling them to regain social participation. D. Allowing them to communicate through writing. 10. What can be learned about the new technology from Paragraph 4? A. It is reliable. B. It is destructive. C. It is inaccurate. D. It is uncontrollable. 11. How does Brandman’s team restore speech? A. By using devices to record words. B. By using machines to observe mouths. C. By applying hi-tech to handle brain signals. D. By applying computers to interpret languages. 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。 The term “self-reliance” is often used to describe a person who is able to look after themselves without help from others.

We assumed it probably saw a squirrel or something. After school the next day, I was practising the piano when Boomerang started barking again. (No, my piano playing isn’t that bad!) Anyway, it never used to bark when I practiced. Ten minutes later, it was still barking. Jumping up, I decided to play detective instead of the piano. The Pinellis’ trees were small, and I didn’t spot anything that disturbed it in them. The curtains were open, but I couldn’t see Boomerang looking out. I wondered if something was wrong. After thinking it over, I called Ms. Pinelli at work and told her Boomerang was barking nonstop again. Ms. Pinelli returned immediately and put it into her car and drove off. Later, after dinner, she dropped by my house and told me that the vet (兽医) had checked it out. Boomerang was fine but it probably missed Leo, Ms. Pinelli’s son. He used to be its playmate but started college in the fall. During our conversation, I knew how Boomerang got its name. It was like a boomerang (飞镖) when playing fetch, running off and then returning with a ball with Leo. To tell the truth, I missed Leo too because he had taught me how to throw a ball in the yard. We felt bad for the dog and were eager to find a way to help it cope with Leo’s absence. Ms. Pinelli mentioned that she would leave the TV on the next day, hoping that the noise would distract it. The following day, when I got off the bus, I could hear Boomerang’s barking loud and clear. I rushed to have a check, finding Boomerang pacing back and forth restlessly. Ms. Pinelli was busy with her computer work. She asked me whether I could do her a favor to keep an eye on it for a while. I gladly said, “Yes!” 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。 Then I approached Boomerang. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, its name reminded me how it played with Leo. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 桂林市2024～2025学年度下学期期未质量检测 高一英语 （考试用时120分钟，满分150分） 注意事项： 1. 答题前、务必将自己的姓名、学校、班级、准考证号填写在答题卡规定的位置上。 2. 答选择题时，必须使用2B铅笔将答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦净后，再选涂其它答案标号。 3. 答非选择题时，必须使用0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔，将答案书写在答题卡规定的位置上。 4. 所有题目必须在答题卡上作答，在试题卷上答题无效。 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.

Aimed at promoting Chinese culture, the event featured screenings of three award-winning films, including The Wandering Earth and Ne Zha, followed by a lecture on Chinese cinema’s development. I was thrilled to see how traditional stories merged with modern technology in these movies. The post-screening discussion was insightful too — we explored themes like family, heroism, and cultural heritage. The festival sparked my interest in Chinese filmmaking and made me proud of our cultural richness. How I wish you could’ve been there! I’m looking forward to your early reply. Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 【53题答案】 【答案】Then I approached Boomerang. It was pacing around the yard, its eyes darting around an xiously. I knelt down and tried to calm it by petting its head and speaking softly. Its tail wagged slightly in response, but its barks continued. I knew that it was missing Leo deeply and the TV noise wasn't enough to distract it. Suddenly, its name reminded me how it played with Leo .I remembered the joy on both their faces as they played fetch together, Bomerang always returning the ball with a triumphant bark. A plan formed in my mind. I quickly ran into my house and grabbed a ball. I threw it into the yard and called Boomerang's name. It immediately stopped barking and sprinted towards the ball, bringing it back to me with a happy bark. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
