More than 2,000 years ago, ancient Chinese people created this overall framework to mark the annual passage of time based on observations of the surfs motion. In the international meteorological field (国际气象界), the 24 solar terms are honored as “the fifth great invention of China”. The 24 solar terms begins with Start of Spring, followed by Rain Water, Insects Awaken... and ends up with Minor Cold and Major Cold. Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice are two days of the year with the longest and shortest amount of daylight respectively, while Spring Equinox and Autumn Equinox are days with the most balanced amount of daytime and nighttime. Through these four parts, a year is divided into four parts: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. In ancient times this system not only guided agricultural production, instructing farmers to expect the changes in temperature, spring planting and autumn harvest, but also directed Chinese folk customs. For example, Winter Solstice was the first one set among 24 terms and later developed into a festival to worship Heaven and ancestors. Every year at Winter Solstice, emperors of Ming and Qing dynasties would go to the temple of Heaven to hold a ceremony to worship Heaven, for good weather for their crops, and peace and prosperity for the country. Nowadays, the 24 solar terms could not only be applied to farming, but also guide Chinese everyday life. They remind people to adapt to the changes in the seasons through suitable food and cultural rituals (文化仪式). Seasonal customs are still the rage, such as eating spring pancakes at Start of Spring, sweeping ancestors’ tombs at Qing Ming, gaining weight to keep warm at Start of Autumn and eating nutritious food to store energy at Start of Winter. They have actually became indispensable rituals in Chinese life. The 24 solar terms is a common cognitive system among Chinese. It reflects the emotional bond, the wisdom and creativity of Chinese, who respect and live in harmony with nature. 8. How were the 24 solar terms created in ancient China? A. They were set based on the movements of the sun. B. They were created according to the change of the weather. C. They were the results of learning from each other. D. They were gradually developed from the practical experience. 9 What is a common feature of Spring Equinox and Autumn Equinox? A. They were set only for guiding agricultural activities. B. They both play the role in dividing a day into day and night. C. They are the days on which the length of a day is longer than night. D. They both have the same amount of day and night time. 10. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Change. B. Fashion. C. Appreciation. D. Honor. 11. What’s the text mainly about? A. The reasons for the recognition of the 24 solar terms. B. The ways to handle the relationship between human and nature. C. The origin and influence of the 24 solar terms in China. D. The traditions and customs of the 24 solar terms in ancient China. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国二十四节气的来历，以及它从古至今对中国社会的深远影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段第二句“More than 2,000 years ago, ancient Chinese people created this overall framework to mark the annual passage of time based on observations of the surfs motion.”可知，在2000年前，中国古代祖先们通过观察太阳运动，创立了二十四节气这个完整的标记一年时间变化的框架体系。由此可知，在古代中国，二十四节气是基于太阳运动设置的。结合选项可知，选项A正确。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段第二句“Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice are two days of the year with the longest and shortest amount of daylight respectively, while Spring Equinox and Autumn Equinox are days with the most balanced amount of daytime and nighttime.”可知，夏至和冬至是一年中对应地白天最长和白天最短的两天，而春分和秋分是白天和夜晚时间最平衡的两天。由此可知，春分和秋分白天和夜晚的时间都是一样的。结合选项可知，选项D正确。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。由第四段第三句“Seasonal customs are still the rage, such as eating spring pancakes at Start of Spring, sweeping ancestors’ tombs at Qing Ming, gaining weight to keep warm at Start of Autumn and eating nutritious food to store energy at Start of Winter.”可知，季节性习俗也仍然流行，例如在立春吃春饼，在清明扫墓，在立秋贴秋膘，在立冬吃营养食物存储能量。由此可见，不同的节气会不同的习俗存在，所以画线单词的含义应该表达的是“依然存在，流行”的意思。结合选项可知，选项B正确。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。由全文内容可知，第一段第一句“The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms”，第二段第一句“The 24 solar terms begins with Start of Spring, followed by Rain Water, Insects Awaken... and ends up with Minor Cold and Major Cold.”，第三段第一句“In ancient times this system not only guided agricultural production, instructing farmers to expect the changes in temperature, spring planting and autumn harvest, but also directed Chinese folk customs.”以及第四段第一句“Nowadays, the 24 solar terms could not only be applied to farming, but also guide Chinese everyday life.”可知，中国传统的农历将一年划分为24节气，这24节气立春开始，紧接着是雨水，惊蛰……以小寒和大寒结束。在古代，这个系统不仅引导农业生产，指导农民们对气温变化的预测，指导春种和秋收，而且指导中国民俗。现在，这个24节气不仅应用于农业，而且也指导中国人的日常生活。由此可见，本文主要讲中国二十四节气的来历，以及它从古至今对中国社会的影响。结合选项可知，选项C正确。 D In the vast and diverse world of nature, animals have evolved unique adaptations that have inspired human innovation and technology. One such example is the gecko, a small lizard known for its remarkable ability to climb smooth surfaces. Geckos have specialized toe pads covered with microscopic hairs called setae, which allow them to adhere(粘附)to surfaces. This natural adhesive mechanism has inspired the development of gecko-inspired adhesives that can be used in various applications, from medical bandages to industrial equipment. Another fascinating example is the lotus leaf, which exhibits a unique water-repellent property known as superhydrophobicity. The surface of the lotus leaf is covered with tiny wax crystals(蜡晶体)that create a barrier, preventing water from sticking. This natural phenomenon has led to the creation of self-cleaning materials and coatings that can repel dirt and water, reducing the need for cleaning and maintenance. Birds have also provided inspiration for human innovation, particularly in the field of aviation. The aerodynamic shape of a bird’s wing has been studied extensively to improve the design of aircraft wings. By mimicking the shape and movement of bird wings, engineers have been able to create more efficient and maneuverable aircraft. Finally, the structure of spider silk has inspired the development of strong and flexible materials. Spider silk is one of the strongest natural materials known, with a tensile strength greater than steel. Scientists have been working to replicate the properties of spider silk to create advanced materials for use in medicine, construction, and other industries. 12.

From the moment we welcomed him into our home till his final day, two things were clear: Jethro and I had a special connection, and he had extreme kindness and sympathy. Jethro never chased or scared little creatures. He just loved hanging out and observing the world around him. He was my perfect field assistant as I conducted research on various birds near my house. One day while I was sitting inside, I heard Jethro approach the front door from the outside. Unlike his usual gentle barking(吠)when he wanted to come in, he just sat there. Looking out, I noticed a small furry object in his mouth. My first thought was that he had killed a bird. However, when I opened the door, Jethro gently placed a baby rabbit, still alive, at my feet. I looked at the little rabbit and noticed she wasn’t injured, but I sensed she needed warmth, food and care. I guessed that the rabbit’s mother might have been killed by a fox around my house. Jethro looked up at me, wide-eyed, seemingly seeking praise. I did. He seemed so proud of himself. But as I picked up the rabbit, Jethro’s pride turned to concern. He tried to take her away from my hands but failed. Anxiously, he followed me around as I gathered a box, a blanket, some water and food. I carefully placed the rabbit in the box, named her Bunny and wrapped her in the blanket. I put some carrots near her, and she tried to eat. The whole time, Jethro was standing behind me, watching my every move. I thought he might go for Bunny or the food, but he simply stood there, attracted by the little ball of fur slowly exploring her new home. When I was going to leave the box, I called Jethro but he didn’t move. Normally, he would come to me instantly, but that day, he remained near the box. Hours passed, and nothing could take him away from his spot near Bunny. Eventually, I had to drag Jethro away for his night walk. 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。 When we returned, Jethro went straight up to the box. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jethro and I walked to the nearby woods and released Bunny. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】When we returned, Jethro went straight up to the box. He sniffed around it gently, then laid down beside it, keeping a watchful eye on Bunny. Over the next few days, Jethro became Bunny's self - appointed protector. He didn't leave her side much, always making sure she was safe. As Bunny grew stronger, Jethro would wag his tail happily whenever she moved around in the box. It was amazing to see this big dog being so gentle and caring towards the tiny rabbit. Jethro and I walked to the nearby woods and released Bunny. Jethro seemed to understand what was happening. He watched as Bunny hopped into the underbrush, disappearing from sight. He let out a soft whine, but there was also a sense of contentment. On the way back home, Jethro walked close to me, and I could tell that this experience had deepened our bond. He had shown his kind heart not only to me but also to a helpless little rabbit, and I was more proud of him than ever. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述作者的狗杰思罗性格温和友善，在野外捡到一只兔宝宝并带回给作者。作者照顾兔宝宝时，杰思罗一直守护着它。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我们回来时，杰思罗径直走向那个箱子。”可知，第一段可描写回家后杰思罗对兔宝宝的守护行为。接下来几天，杰思罗寸步不离兔宝宝，看着兔宝宝逐渐长大，突出杰思罗对兔宝宝的关爱。 ②由第二段首句内容“我和杰思罗走到附近的树林，放走了邦尼（兔宝宝）。”可知，第二段可描写带兔宝宝去树林放生的情景。杰思罗似乎明白要放生兔宝宝，看着兔宝宝离开发出低鸣，回家途中作者感受到与杰思罗的关系更加深厚，升华主题。 2.续写线索：回家杰思罗守护兔宝宝——兔宝宝长大——带兔宝宝去树林放生—— 杰思罗看着兔宝宝离开——回家关系加深 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①守护：keep a watchful eye on /guard ②明白：understand /comprehend ③发生：happen /take place 情绪类： ①开心地：happily /delightedly ②满足：satisfaction /contentment 【点睛】【高分句型 1】He didn't leave her side much, always making sure she was safe.（运用了现在分词作状语和省略引导词that的宾语从句作make sure的宾语） 【高分句型 2】He watched as Bunny hopped into the underbrush, disappearing from sight.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句以及现在分词短语作状语 ） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 河池市2025年春季学期高二期末学业水平质量检测 英语 (本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟) 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，用橡皮擦干净后，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。 例: How much is the shirt?

B AI Development: From Past to Present Artificial Intelligence (AI) has evolved significantly over the decades, transforming from a theoretical concept into a practical tool that influences nearly every aspect of modern life. The journey of AI began in the 1950s, with early researchers exploring the possibility of machines that could perform tasks requiring human intelligence. The 1950s to the 1980s marked the symbolic AI era, where experts focused on logic-based systems and rule-based reasoning. The 1990s and 2000s saw the rise of machine learning, particularly supervised learning, which enabled computers to learn from data rather than rely only on pre-programmed rules. This period also witnessed the development of neural networks, which became foundational for modern AI. The 2010s brought a new wave of deep learning, with breakthroughs in convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs), leading to significant advancements in computer vision, natural language processing, and autonomous vehicles. In recent years, AI has entered a new phase characterized by large-scale pre-trained models such as BERT, GPT-3, and GPT4, which have revolutionized text generation, translation, and content creation. These models are not only powerful in language but also in multimodal understanding, enabling them to process and generate text, images, and even video. Today, AI is no longer just a research topic; it is a commercial and industrial force. Companies like Google, Apple, and Microsoft are integrating AI into their products, from voice assistants to smartphones and smart homes. The integration of AI into hardware, such as Tensor chips and A-series processors, marks a shift from software-only AI to hardware-AI synergy (协同). As AI continues to evolve it presents both opportunities and challenges. While it enhances productivity and innovation, it also raises ethical and social concerns. The future of AI will depend on how we balance its potential with responsible development and regulation. 4. What was the main focus of AI research during the 1950s to the 1980s? A. Deep learning. B. Symbolic AI. C. Machine learning. D. Neural networks. 5. Which of the following is NOT a type of AI model mentioned in the article? A. BERT. B. GPT-3. C. TensorFlow. D. GPT-4. 6. What is the current trend in AI development according to the article? A. Integration of AI into hardware. B. Focus on traditional expert systems. C. Return to symbolic AI. D. Reduction in AI applications. 7. What is the author’s attitude toward the future of AI? A. Doubtful. B. Indifferent. C. Subjective. D. Objective. C The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. More than 2,000 years ago, ancient Chinese people created this overall framework to mark the annual passage of time based on observations of the surfs motion. In the international meteorological field (国际气象界), the 24 solar terms are honored as “the fifth great invention of China”. The 24 solar terms begins with Start of Spring, followed by Rain Water, Insects Awaken... and ends up with Minor Cold and Major Cold. Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice are two days of the year with the longest and shortest amount of daylight respectively, while Spring Equinox and Autumn Equinox are days with the most balanced amount of daytime and nighttime. Through these four parts, a year is divided into four parts: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. In ancient times this system not only guided agricultural production, instructing farmers to expect the changes in temperature, spring planting and autumn harvest, but also directed Chinese folk customs. For example, Winter Solstice was the first one set among 24 terms and later developed into a festival to worship Heaven and ancestors. Every year at Winter Solstice, emperors of Ming and Qing dynasties would go to the temple of Heaven to hold a ceremony to worship Heaven, for good weather for their crops, and peace and prosperity for the country. Nowadays, the 24 solar terms could not only be applied to farming, but also guide Chinese everyday life. They remind people to adapt to the changes in the seasons through suitable food and cultural rituals (文化仪式). Seasonal customs are still the rage, such as eating spring pancakes at Start of Spring, sweeping ancestors’ tombs at Qing Ming, gaining weight to keep warm at Start of Autumn and eating nutritious food to store energy at Start of Winter. They have actually became indispensable rituals in Chinese life. The 24 solar terms is a common cognitive system among Chinese. It reflects the emotional bond, the wisdom and creativity of Chinese, who respect and live in harmony with nature. 8. How were the 24 solar terms created in ancient China? A. They were set based on the movements of the sun. B. They were created according to the change of the weather. C. They were the results of learning from each other. D. They were gradually developed from the practical experience. 9. What is a common feature of Spring Equinox and Autumn Equinox? A. They were set only for guiding agricultural activities. B. They both play the role in dividing a day into day and night. C. They are the days on which the length of a day is longer than night. D. They both have the same amount of day and night time. 10. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Change. B. Fashion. C Appreciation. D. Honor. 11. What’s the text mainly about? A. The reasons for the recognition of the 24 solar terms. B. The ways to handle the relationship between human and nature. C. The origin and influence of the 24 solar terms in China. D. The traditions and customs of the 24 solar terms in ancient China. D In the vast and diverse world of nature, animals have evolved unique adaptations that have inspired human innovation and technology. One such example is the gecko, a small lizard known for its remarkable ability to climb smooth surfaces. Geckos have specialized toe pads covered with microscopic hairs called setae, which allow them to adhere(粘附)to surfaces. This natural adhesive mechanism has inspired the development of gecko-inspired adhesives that can be used in various applications, from medical bandages to industrial equipment. Another fascinating example is the lotus leaf, which exhibits a unique water-repellent property known as superhydrophobicity. The surface of the lotus leaf is covered with tiny wax crystals(蜡晶体)that create a barrier, preventing water from sticking. This natural phenomenon has led to the creation of self-cleaning materials and coatings that can repel dirt and water, reducing the need for cleaning and maintenance. Birds have also provided inspiration for human innovation, particularly in the field of aviation. The aerodynamic shape of a bird’s wing has been studied extensively to improve the design of aircraft wings. By mimicking the shape and movement of bird wings, engineers have been able to create more efficient and maneuverable aircraft. Finally, the structure of spider silk has inspired the development of strong and flexible materials.

From the moment we welcomed him into our home till his final day, two things were clear: Jethro and I had a special connection, and he had extreme kindness and sympathy. Jethro never chased or scared little creatures. He just loved hanging out and observing the world around him. He was my perfect field assistant as I conducted research on various birds near my house. One day while I was sitting inside, I heard Jethro approach the front door from the outside. Unlike his usual gentle barking(吠)when he wanted to come in, he just sat there. Looking out, I noticed a small furry object in his mouth. My first thought was that he had killed a bird. However, when I opened the door, Jethro gently placed a baby rabbit, still alive, at my feet. I looked at the little rabbit and noticed she wasn’t injured, but I sensed she needed warmth, food and care. I guessed that the rabbit’s mother might have been killed by a fox around my house. Jethro looked up at me, wide-eyed, seemingly seeking praise. I did. He seemed so proud of himself. But as I picked up the rabbit, Jethro’s pride turned to concern. He tried to take her away from my hands but failed. Anxiously, he followed me around as I gathered a box, a blanket, some water and food. I carefully placed the rabbit in the box, named her Bunny and wrapped her in the blanket. I put some carrots near her, and she tried to eat. The whole time, Jethro was standing behind me, watching my every move. I thought he might go for Bunny or the food, but he simply stood there, attracted by the little ball of fur slowly exploring her new home. When I was going to leave the box, I called Jethro but he didn’t move. Normally, he would come to me instantly, but that day, he remained near the box. Hours passed, and nothing could take him away from his spot near Bunny. Eventually, I had to drag Jethro away for his night walk. 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。 When we returned, Jethro went straight up to the box. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jethro and I walked to the nearby woods and released Bunny. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
