Through her groundbreaking DOUG robot series, Lee transforms technical errors and unpredictable machine behavior into collaborative (合作的) artistry, proving AI can enhance — not replace — human creativity. Lee’s journey began in 2015, with DOUG 1, a robot designed to copy her brushstrokes. Instead of perfect copies, its shaky lines, uneven marks became celebrated features. “Poeticizing error taught me that mistakes can lighten new ideas,” she says. In 2017, DOUG 2 was trained on Lee’ s past artworks, and this AI-powered robot generated original paintings. At a London exhibit, Lee co-signed pieces as “Lee-DOUG2,” symbolizing joint authorship. Later, DOUG 3 used New York City street camera data, tracking traffic and crowds, to guide robot movements, turning city rhythms into dynamic pictures. By 2024, DOUG 4 translated Lee’ s brainwaves into brushstrokes. Relaxed states produced flowing patterns; focused moments created sharp digital lines. At Davos 2025, the six robotic arms painted live using her brain activity, painting the Swiss Alps with Chinese ink. Albert Hu, an architect at the City College of New York who has studied the ways that humans and machines influence each other’s actions and behaviors, sees Lee’ s work as offering a different story about human-machine interactions. “We often get stuck in this mindset of AI competing with humans, and which one’s better,” he says. “AI is often characterized in the media and movies as enemy to human — something that can replace us or, even worse, become destructive. In Lee’ s works, I think, it’s no longer about competition, but co-production.” As generative AI raises concerns about stolen artwork, Lee said, “Artificial intelligence relies on human data, shaped by human preference, and it impacts human experiences in turn. Behind these technologies, there’s a lot of work and stuff that goes into making them. Art is a place where we can look into and show who’s really in charge.” 4. What is the main focus of the text? A. Impact of generative AI on art. B. Cooperation of human and AI in art. C. Development of AI art creativity. D. Relationship between artists and robots. 5. What did Lee gain from DOUG 1? A. Its errors influenced her choice of art sources. B. Its movements inspired her enthusiasm for art. C. Its copies changed her way to train later robots. D. Its outcomes transformed her view of the robots’ role. 6. What does Albert Hu think of Lee’ s work? A. It restricts the traditional mindset of AI. B. It predicts the trend for co-work with AI. C. It challenges the previous view of AI and human. D. It confirms the direction of future art development. 7. What does Lee’s words imply in the last paragraph? A. AI remains human-driven. B. AI is a preferred partner. C. AI is essential for future art. D. AI works as a reliable tool. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了加拿大华裔艺术家Michelle Lee通过DOUG机器人系列展现人机合作的艺术创作。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“While many artists fear AI’s growing role in creative fields, Canadian-Chinese artist Michelle Lee sees it as a new way of reimagining art. Through her groundbreaking DOUG robot series, Lee transforms technical errors and unpredictable machine behavior into collaborative（合作的） artistry, proving AI can enhance — not replace — human creativity. (尽管许多艺术家担心人工智能在创意领域的作用日益增强，但加拿大华裔艺术家Michelle Lee却将其视为重新想象艺术的新方式。通过她开创性的DOUG机器人系列，Lee将技术错误和不可预测的机器行为转化为合作的艺术，证明了人工智能可以增强——而不是取代——人类的创造力。)”可知，文章主要聚焦于人机合作在艺术创作中的应用。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Lee’s journey began in 2015, with DOUG 1, a robot designed to copy her brushstrokes. Instead of perfect copies, its shaky lines, uneven marks became celebrated features. “Poeticizing error taught me that mistakes can lighten new ideas,” she says. (Lee的旅程始于2015年，她设计了一个名为DOUG 1的机器人，旨在模仿她的笔触。然而，这个机器人画出的并不是完美的复制品，而是颤抖的线条和不均匀的痕迹，这些却成了备受赞誉的特点。她说：“将错误诗意化让我明白，错误可以激发新的想法。”)”可知，DOUG 1产生的不完美结果（如颤抖的线条、不均匀的痕迹）让李认识到技术误差的艺术价值，改变了她对机器人在创作中角色的认知，从单纯复制工具转变为能激发创意的合作伙伴。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Albert Hu, an architect at the City College of New York who has studied the ways that humans and machines influence each other’s actions and behaviors, sees Lee’ s work as offering a different story about human-machine interactions. “We often get stuck in this mindset of AI competing with humans, and which one’s better,” he says. “AI is often characterized in the media and movies as enemy to human — something that can replace us or, even worse, become destructive. In Lee’ s works, I think, it’s no longer about competition, but co-production.” (纽约城市学院建筑师Albert Hu研究了人类和机器如何相互影响彼此的行为，他认为Lee的作品为人机交互提供了不同的视角。他说：“我们常常陷入人工智能与人类竞争，以及谁更优秀的思维定势中。在媒体和电影中，人工智能常常被描绘成人类的敌人——能够取代我们，甚至更糟，变得具有破坏性。我认为，在Lee的作品中，这不再是竞争，而是共同创作。”)”可知，Albert Hu认为Lee的作品挑战了之前对人工智能和人类的看法。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“As generative AI raises concerns about stolen artwork, Lee said, “Artificial intelligence relies on human data, shaped by human preference, and it impacts human experiences in turn. Behind these technologies, there’s a lot of work and stuff that goes into making them. Art is a place where we can look into and show who’s really in charge.” (随着生成式人工智能引发了对艺术品被盗的担忧，Lee说：“人工智能依赖于人类数据，这些数据由人类偏好塑造，反过来又影响人类体验。在这些技术背后，有大量的工作和投入。艺术是一个我们可以探究并展示谁真正掌权的地方。”)”可知，Lee的话暗示了人工智能仍然是由人类驱动的。故选A。 C Have you ever tried relaxing on a sunny beach, but your brain’s still stuck worrying? That’s because our brain tends to focus on the bad stuff. This is called “negativity bias (偏见)”, which helped our ancestors handle potential threats but now often traps us in cycles of overthinking. Psychologist Rick Hampson offers a science-backed solution in his book called Hardwiring Happiness. He explains that positive moments rarely leave a lasting mark unless we deliberately engage with them. This is where neuroplasticity, which means our brain can change and adapt based on what we do and think, comes in. Hampson’s research, beginning in the mid-2000s, started exploring how to use brain science to create lasting positive changes in the brain. By noticing and holding onto good experiences, we can activate our brain’s reward centers and promote positive changes. Although the sample size was small and lacked a control group, participants reported statistically feeling better, with improvements lasting up to two months. Then the HEAL method (Have a good experience, Enrich it, Absorb it, Link it to other experiences) was finally developed. Research shows that practices like mindfulness meditation (冥想) can be linked to changes in brain structure and function. Meditation and other thoughtful practices can promote neuroplasticity. Hampson also points out that social connections and feeling safe can reduce stress. He suggests that when we slow down and take a moment to feel close to friends, we’re changing our brain for the better. The real proof of Hampson’s approach lies in daily practice. He encourages people to engage in “mental hygiene” practices, which can be motivated by understanding how these activities benefit the brain. By asking ourselves if we’re a little happier, wiser, and more loving at the end of the day, we can take control of our well-being. In short, Hardwiring Happiness syncretizes brain science and practical daily habits. For those interested in transforming their well-being through science-backed methods, Hampson’s book provides valuable insights and techniques that can be easily integrated into everyday routines. By exploring Hardwiring Happiness, you can discover more about the science of happiness and learn practical techniques to enhance well-being. 8. What is the original function of “negativity bias”? A. To help humans to survive. B. To promote social connections. C. To remind people of bad things. D. To prevent people overthinking. 9. How does HEAL method work according to Hampson? A. By activating brain’s control centers. B. By strengthening positive experiences. C. By fighting against brain’s negativity bias. D. By removing negativity through meditation. 10. What does the underlined word “syncretizes” mean in the last paragraph? A. Bridges. B. Balances. C. Guides. D. Facilitates. 11. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage? A. To display a bias. B. To introduce a concept. C. To recommend a new book. D. To promote a new lifestyle. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了心理学家Rick Hampson在《硬连线幸福》中提出通过科学方法提升幸福感并介绍了相关方法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“That’s because our brain tends to focus on the bad stuff. This is called “negativity bias (偏见)”, which helped our ancestors handle potential threats but now often traps us in cycles of overthinking. (这是因为我们的大脑倾向于关注不好的事情。这被称为“消极偏见”，它帮助我们的祖先应对潜在的威胁，但现在却常常让我们陷入过度思考的循环中)”可知，“消极偏见”的原始功能是帮助人类生存。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“By noticing and holding onto good experiences, we can activate our brain’s reward centers and promote positive changes. (通过注意并抓住美好的经历，我们可以激活大脑的奖励中心，促进积极的改变)”以及“Then the HEAL method (Have a good experience, Enrich it, Absorb it, Link it to other experiences) was finally developed. (然后，HEAL方法（拥有美好的体验，丰富它，吸收它，将它与其他体验联系起来）最终被开发出来)”可知，HEAL方法是通过加强积极的体验来起作用的。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“In short, Hardwiring Happiness syncretizes brain science and practical daily habits. For those interested in transforming their well-being through science-backed methods, Hampson’s book provides valuable insights and techniques that can be easily integrated into everyday routines. (简而言之，《硬连线幸福》将脑科学与日常实践习惯syncretizes。对于想通过科学方法改善福祉的人而言，汉普森的书提供了宝贵洞见和技巧，这些都能轻松融入日常生活)”可知，对于想通过科学方法改善福祉的人而言，汉普森的书提供了宝贵洞见和技巧，这些都能轻松融入日常生活。由此可知，这本书将科学和日常生活结合在了一起，故syncretizes意思是“结合”。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“In short, Hardwiring Happiness syncretizes brain science and practical daily habits. For those interested in transforming their well-being through science-backed methods, Hampson’s book provides valuable insights and techniques that can be easily integrated into everyday routines. By exploring Hardwiring Happiness, you can discover more about the science of happiness and learn practical techniques to enhance well-being. (简而言之，《硬连线幸福》将脑科学与日常实践习惯相结合。对于想通过科学方法改善福祉的人而言，汉普森的书提供了宝贵洞见和技巧，这些都能轻松融入日常生活。探索《硬连线幸福》，你将发现更多关于幸福的科学，并学会提升福祉的实用技巧)”可知，文章主要介绍了心理学家Rick Hampson在书中提出通过科学方法提升幸福感并介绍了相关方法。可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是推荐一本新书。故选C。 D Deep underneath the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean lies beautiful reefs colored by its algae (藻类). However, in the early 1980s, an El Niño heatwave led to mass-bleaching, which turned more than 90 percent of these corals a pale, lifeless white. When stronger El Niño events struck the area again in 2015–2016, biologist Tina Palacio observed a surprising phenomenon: some corals resisted bleaching or showed recovery. Her team later discoveryed that Pocillopora — the region’s primary reef-building coral — had gotten rid of their original algae and adopted heat-tolerant species. Corals typically provide nitrogen (氮气) to their resident algae and receive carbon in return for energy. “To maintain the algae’s survival and provide the nutrients required by the host, there’s a really delicate and very complex nutritional relationship between the two,” Palacio says. Under heat stress, corals produce more nitrogen, which causes the algae to grow rapidly and divide more, storing the carbon and keeping it from their hosts. Palacio discovered that baby corals has learned not to overshare nitrogen with the algae. This way, they can live together harmoniously. And baby corals aren’t stuck in one place — they float freely in the ocean before settling down. This helps the species move to better waters or spread genes that let them handle heat. Researchers also found corals can act on their own. They have tiny hair-like structures called cilia that work like a cooling system, beating fast to make tiny whirlpools (漩涡) in the water and moving extra oxygen to areas that need it. These whirlpools stop oxygen from building up harmfully in one place. Although corals are adapting, they can’t outpace climate threats alone. It’s hard to go back after a bleaching event and see them dead. That gives us the motivation to use whatever skill is, whatever our passion is, to try to help. 12. Why does the author mention El Niño heatwaves twice? A. To stress the urgency of ocean conservation. B. To show the corals’ adaptation to heatwaves. C. To indicate the impact of climate change on corals. D. To highlight the relationship between corals and algae. 13. What do baby corals do to live with their algae? A. Sharing more carbon. B. Removing more algae. C. Moving to cooler areas. D. Reserving extra nitrogen. 14. How do coral cilia function? A. By storing extra oxygen. B. By redistributing oxygen. C. By releasing oxygen quickly. D. By changing oxygen into nitrogen. 15. What message does the author want to convey? A. Coral bleaching calls for human protection. B. Humans need more passion to protect ocean species. C. Coral protection is our duty despite its self-adjustment. D. Coral adaptation is unavoidable in spite of humans’ help. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了珊瑚在面对厄尔尼诺热浪时展现出适应能力，但仍需人类保护以应对气候威胁。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“However, in the early 1980s, an El Niño heatwave led to mass-bleaching, which turned more than 90 percent of these corals a pale, lifeless white. (然而，在20世纪80年代初，一次厄尔尼诺热浪导致了大规模的白化，使超过90%的珊瑚变成了苍白无生气的白色。)”和第二段中“When stronger El Niño events struck the area again in 2015–2016, biologist Tina Palacio observed a surprising phenomenon: some corals resisted bleaching or showed recovery. (当更强的厄尔尼诺事件在2015-2016年再次袭击该地区时，生物学家蒂娜·帕拉西奥观察到一个令人惊讶的现象：一些珊瑚抵抗了白化或显示出恢复的迹象。)”可知，作者两次提到厄尔尼诺热浪是为了展示珊瑚对热浪的适应。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Under heat stress, corals produce more nitrogen, which causes the algae to grow rapidly and divide more, storing the carbon and keeping it from their hosts. Palacio discovered that baby corals has learned not to overshare nitrogen with the algae. This way, they can live together harmoniously. (在热应激下，珊瑚会产生更多氮，这会导致藻类快速生长和分裂，储存碳并阻止其流向宿主。帕拉西奥发现，珊瑚幼体已学会不与藻类过度分享氮。这样一来，它们就能和谐共生。)”可知，幼珊瑚通过保留多余的氮来与藻类和谐共处。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“They have tiny hair-like structures called cilia that work like a cooling system, beating fast to make tiny whirlpools in the water and moving extra oxygen to areas that need it. These whirlpools stop oxygen from building up harmfully in one place. (它们有微小的毛发状结构，称为纤毛，其工作原理类似于冷却系统，快速拍打以在水流中产生微小的漩涡，并将多余的氧气输送到需要的地方。这些漩涡阻止氧气在一个地方有害地积聚。)”可知，珊瑚纤毛通过重新分配氧气来发挥作用。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although corals are adapting, they can’t outpace climate threats alone. It’s hard to go back after a bleaching event and see them dead. That gives us the motivation to use whatever skill is, whatever our passion is, to try to help. (尽管珊瑚正在适应，但它们无法单独应对气候威胁。在珊瑚白化事件发生后，很难再看到它们死去。这给了我们动力，无论我们有什么技能，无论我们有什么激情，都要尽力去帮助它们。)”可知，作者想传达的信息是尽管珊瑚有自我调节的能力，但保护珊瑚仍是我们的责任。故选C。 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。 In the depths of a forest in Northland, New Zealand, an architectural exploration is underway. ____16____ Architect Brett Hulley and his wife Rose, driven by this vision, began their home-building journey.

These were the socks her grandma had made for her tenth birthday. She pulled them up to her knees before her first middle school basketball game and she made the winning shot. From then on she thought these socks could bring her good luck. After that, Lila only wore this pair of socks to games. She even skipped washing them because she thought washing would take away the luck. The team won many games, and Lila was good at passing and shooting. She joked about her “lucky socks,” but deep down, she really believed they helped. As the championship games got closer, Lila’s socks were getting old: the colors were fading, there was a hole near her heel, and they smelled a bit funny. Still, she didn’t want to change them. The first problem came in the semi-final. Lila’s foot slipped in her shoe during a layup (上篮), making her team suffer a loss because of her missing shot. She blamed her shoes, not the socks. In the final, the hole in her sock caught on a blister, leading to a fall. The other team stole the ball and sealed the victory. Lila sat on the bench, crying, as she stared at her socks. That night, Grandma came in with a new pair of socks, the same blue and white. “Real magic comes from practice, not from luck,” she said gently. Lila nodded. She knew the old socks had become a problem, not a help. Over the summer, Lila trained hard: running, passing the ball, lifting weights, and practicing shots.She wore the new socks, but they were just socks — comfortable and supportive. When the new season started, she felt stronger. The final championship game of this season came and Lila’s team faced a tough competitor. Lila tried her best to catch the ball and run toward the basket, moving fast. Time kicked fast and there were 10 seconds left in the game. Lila’s team was one point behind. Her teammate passed the ball to her. Lila glanced at her socks, a reminder from her grandma. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Back home, Grandma hugged her and took out the old socks. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Lila glanced at her socks, a reminder from her grandma. She remembered what Grandma had said: “Real magic comes from practice, not from luck.” With that in mind, she dribbled the ball quickly, dodged two defenders, and jumped high. The ball flew through the air and swished into the basket just as the buzzer rang. Her teammates rushed over, cheering loudly. Lila looked down at her new socks and smiled, knowing that it was her hard work, not luck, that had won the game. Back home, Grandma hugged her and took out the old socks. “I kept these because they remind us of how far you’ve come,” Grandma said gently. Lila touched the hole in the heel and realized that the old socks had taught her a valuable lesson: what truly matters is the effort we put in, not any imaginary luck. She decided to keep the old socks as a memory, while continuing to train hard with her new ones. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Lila的“幸运袜”为线索展开，讲述了Lila一直认为奶奶在她十岁生日时送她的蓝白相间的袜子能给她带来好运，所以她只在比赛时穿这双袜子，甚至不洗，然而在关键的比赛里，这双袜子却给她带来了麻烦，导致比赛失利。经历失败后在奶奶引导下明白实力的重要性，通过努力训练，最终在决赛中获胜的故事。 【详解】段落续写： ① 由第一段首句“Lila瞥了一眼她的袜子，这是奶奶给她的提醒。”可知，第一段可描写Lila想起奶奶的话，摒弃对运气的依赖，凭借训练成果完成关键一投的过程。 ② 由第二段首句“回到家，奶奶拥抱了她，拿出旧袜子。”可知，第二段可描写奶奶与Lila关于旧袜子的对话，进一步点明实力比运气重要的道理。 续写线索：瞥袜子——想起奶奶的话——努力比赛——赢得比赛——奶奶拿出旧袜子——谈话 —— 感悟道理 词汇激活： 行为类 ① 匆忙赶去：rush over/dash over ② 重要：matter/count ③ 决定：decide to do/determine to do 情绪类 ① 大声欢呼：cheer loudly/erupt in cheers/roar with excitement ② 温和地：gently/tenderly/mildly 【点睛】【高分句型1】She remembered what Grandma had said: “Real magic comes from practice, not from luck.”(运用了what引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】Lila looked down at her new socks and smiled, knowing that it was her hard work, not luck, that had won the game.(运用了现在分词作状语，that引导的宾语从句和强调句式) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024学年第二学期期末教学质量监测 高二英语（试题） 本试卷共10页，卷面满分130分，考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必在答题卡上用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔填写学校、班级、姓名、试室号、座位号及准考证号，并用2B 铅笔填涂准考证号。因笔试不考听力，选择题从第二部分的“阅读”开始，试题序号从“21”开始。 2.作答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔在答题卡上将对应题目选项的答案信息点涂黑；如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案。答案不能答在试卷上。 3.非选择题必须用黑色字迹的笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区内相应位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新答案；不准使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答无效。 4.考生必须保证答题卡的整洁。考试结束后，将试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Do you love outdoor adventures?

Through her groundbreaking DOUG robot series, Lee transforms technical errors and unpredictable machine behavior into collaborative (合作的) artistry, proving AI can enhance — not replace — human creativity. Lee’s journey began in 2015, with DOUG 1, a robot designed to copy her brushstrokes. Instead of perfect copies, its shaky lines, uneven marks became celebrated features. “Poeticizing error taught me that mistakes can lighten new ideas,” she says. In 2017, DOUG 2 was trained on Lee’ s past artworks, and this AI-powered robot generated original paintings. At a London exhibit, Lee co-signed pieces as “Lee-DOUG2,” symbolizing joint authorship. Later, DOUG 3 used New York City street camera data, tracking traffic and crowds, to guide robot movements, turning city rhythms into dynamic pictures. By 2024, DOUG 4 translated Lee’ s brainwaves into brushstrokes. Relaxed states produced flowing patterns; focused moments created sharp digital lines. At Davos 2025, the six robotic arms painted live using her brain activity, painting the Swiss Alps with Chinese ink. Albert Hu, an architect at the City College of New York who has studied the ways that humans and machines influence each other’s actions and behaviors, sees Lee’ s work as offering a different story about human-machine interactions. “We often get stuck in this mindset of AI competing with humans, and which one’s better,” he says. “AI is often characterized in the media and movies as enemy to human — something that can replace us or, even worse, become destructive. In Lee’ s works, I think, it’s no longer about competition, but co-production.” As generative AI raises concerns about stolen artwork, Lee said, “Artificial intelligence relies on human data, shaped by human preference, and it impacts human experiences in turn. Behind these technologies, there’s a lot of work and stuff that goes into making them. Art is a place where we can look into and show who’s really in charge.” 4. What is the main focus of the text? A. Impact of generative AI on art. B. Cooperation of human and AI in art. C. Development of AI art creativity. D. Relationship between artists and robots. 5. What did Lee gain from DOUG 1? A. Its errors influenced her choice of art sources. B. Its movements inspired her enthusiasm for art. C. Its copies changed her way to train later robots. D. Its outcomes transformed her view of the robots’ role. 6. What does Albert Hu think of Lee’ s work? A. It restricts the traditional mindset of AI. B. It predicts the trend for co-work with AI. C. It challenges the previous view of AI and human. D. It confirms the direction of future art development. 7. What does Lee’s words imply in the last paragraph? A. AI remains human-driven. B. AI is a preferred partner. C. AI is essential for future art. D. AI works as a reliable tool. C Have you ever tried relaxing on a sunny beach, but your brain’s still stuck worrying? That’s because our brain tends to focus on the bad stuff. This is called “negativity bias (偏见)”, which helped our ancestors handle potential threats but now often traps us in cycles of overthinking. Psychologist Rick Hampson offers a science-backed solution in his book called Hardwiring Happiness. He explains that positive moments rarely leave a lasting mark unless we deliberately engage with them. This is where neuroplasticity, which means our brain can change and adapt based on what we do and think, comes in. Hampson’s research, beginning in the mid-2000s, started exploring how to use brain science to create lasting positive changes in the brain. By noticing and holding onto good experiences, we can activate our brain’s reward centers and promote positive changes. Although the sample size was small and lacked a control group, participants reported statistically feeling better, with improvements lasting up to two months. Then the HEAL method (Have a good experience, Enrich it, Absorb it, Link it to other experiences) was finally developed. Research shows that practices like mindfulness meditation (冥想) can be linked to changes in brain structure and function. Meditation and other thoughtful practices can promote neuroplasticity. Hampson also points out that social connections and feeling safe can reduce stress. He suggests that when we slow down and take a moment to feel close to friends, we’re changing our brain for the better. The real proof of Hampson’s approach lies in daily practice. He encourages people to engage in “mental hygiene” practices, which can be motivated by understanding how these activities benefit the brain. By asking ourselves if we’re a little happier, wiser, and more loving at the end of the day, we can take control of our well-being. In short, Hardwiring Happiness syncretizes brain science and practical daily habits. For those interested in transforming their well-being through science-backed methods, Hampson’s book provides valuable insights and techniques that can be easily integrated into everyday routines. By exploring Hardwiring Happiness, you can discover more about the science of happiness and learn practical techniques to enhance well-being. 8. What is the original function of “negativity bias”? A. To help humans to survive. B. To promote social connections. C. To remind people of bad things. D. To prevent people overthinking. 9. How does HEAL method work according to Hampson? A. By activating brain’s control centers. B By strengthening positive experiences. C. By fighting against brain’s negativity bias. D. By removing negativity through meditation. 10. What does the underlined word “syncretizes” mean in the last paragraph? A. Bridges. B. Balances. C. Guides. D. Facilitates. 11. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage? A. To display a bias. B. To introduce a concept. C. To recommend a new book. D. To promote a new lifestyle. D Deep underneath the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean lies beautiful reefs colored by its algae (藻类). However, in the early 1980s, an El Niño heatwave led to mass-bleaching, which turned more than 90 percent of these corals a pale, lifeless white. When stronger El Niño events struck the area again in 2015–2016, biologist Tina Palacio observed a surprising phenomenon: some corals resisted bleaching or showed recovery. Her team later discoveryed that Pocillopora — the region’s primary reef-building coral — had gotten rid of their original algae and adopted heat-tolerant species. Corals typically provide nitrogen (氮气) to their resident algae and receive carbon in return for energy. “To maintain the algae’s survival and provide the nutrients required by the host, there’s a really delicate and very complex nutritional relationship between the two,” Palacio says. Under heat stress, corals produce more nitrogen, which causes the algae to grow rapidly and divide more, storing the carbon and keeping it from their hosts. Palacio discovered that baby corals has learned not to overshare nitrogen with the algae. This way, they can live together harmoniously. And baby corals aren’t stuck in one place — they float freely in the ocean before settling down. This helps the species move to better waters or spread genes that let them handle heat. Researchers also found corals can act on their own. They have tiny hair-like structures called cilia that work like a cooling system, beating fast to make tiny whirlpools (漩涡) in the water and moving extra oxygen to areas that need it. These whirlpools stop oxygen from building up harmfully in one place. Although corals are adapting, they can’t outpace climate threats alone. It’s hard to go back after a bleaching event and see them dead. That gives us the motivation to use whatever skill is, whatever our passion is, to try to help. 12. Why does the author mention El Niño heatwaves twice? A. To stress the urgency of ocean conservation. B. To show the corals’ adaptation to heatwaves. C. To indicate the impact of climate change on corals. D. To highlight the relationship between corals and algae. 13. What do baby corals do to live with their algae? A. Sharing more carbon. B. Removing more algae. C. Moving to cooler areas. D. Reserving extra nitrogen. 14. How do coral cilia function? A. By storing extra oxygen. B. By redistributing oxygen. C. By releasing oxygen quickly. D. By changing oxygen into nitrogen. 15 What message does the author want to convey? A. Coral bleaching calls for human protection. B. Humans need more passion to protect ocean species. C. Coral protection is our duty despite its self-adjustment. D. Coral adaptation is unavoidable in spite of humans’ help. 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。 In the depths of a forest in Northland, New Zealand, an architectural exploration is underway. ____16____ Architect Brett Hulley and his wife Rose, driven by this vision, began their home-building journey.

These were the socks her grandma had made for her tenth birthday. She pulled them up to her knees before her first middle school basketball game and she made the winning shot. From then on, she thought these socks could bring her good luck. After that, Lila only wore this pair of socks to games. She even skipped washing them because she thought washing would take away the luck. The team won many games, and Lila was good at passing and shooting. She joked about her “lucky socks,” but deep down, she really believed they helped. As the championship games got closer, Lila’s socks were getting old: the colors were fading, there was a hole near her heel, and they smelled a bit funny. Still, she didn’t want to change them. The first problem came in the semi-final. Lila’s foot slipped in her shoe during a layup (上篮), making her team suffer a loss because of her missing shot. She blamed her shoes, not the socks. In the final, the hole in her sock caught on a blister, leading to a fall. The other team stole the ball and sealed the victory. Lila sat on the bench, crying, as she stared at her socks. That night, Grandma came in with a new pair of socks, the same blue and white. “Real magic comes from practice, not from luck,” she said gently. Lila nodded. She knew the old socks had become a problem, not a help. Over the summer, Lila trained hard: running, passing the ball, lifting weights, and practicing shots.She wore the new socks, but they were just socks — comfortable and supportive. When the new season started, she felt stronger. The final championship game of this season came and Lila’s team faced a tough competitor. Lila tried her best to catch the ball and run toward the basket, moving fast. Time kicked fast and there were 10 seconds left in the game. Lila’s team was one point behind. Her teammate passed the ball to her. Lila glanced at her socks, a reminder from her grandma. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Back home, Grandma hugged her and took out the old socks. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
