During this two-week program, participants will observe and engage in conversations with multiple graduate students in the chemistry department. With diverse research areas available, shadowing several researchers offers participants a broad understanding of scientific topics and techniques. This unique experience helps students explore various aspects of chemical research, including theoretical concepts, experimental methods, and practical applications. Participants will also gain insights into the daily work and challenges faced by researchers in the field. If your goal is to work on a specific research project, we recommend exploring other summer programs tailored to that objective.

Unlike peaches or apples, which are handed to you with confidence, zucchini is left anonymously—no note, no explanation, no one taking credit for it. It feels like the forgotten child of the vegetable kingdom. “Who should we thank for this gift?” I asked. “I don’t know,” Rachel replied. “You know how it is with zucchini.” Of course I did. Nobody grows it on purpose; it just grows uncontrollably, taking over gardens everywhere. The next morning, I cautiously stepped into my office, unsure of what might await me. On my desk sat a white box with a piece of bread inside. It smelled and tasted wonderful. “Who made the banana bread?” I asked. Rachel smiled and responded, “It’s zucchini bread.” I froze. “It’s delicious! But I don’t like zucchini.” “Neither do I,” Rachel admitted. “But years ago, I found a recipe for zucchini bread, and now I look forward to zucchini season.” I took another bite and wondered, “How can something so tasty come from something I don’t enjoy?” Rachel shrugged and said, “It’s life. With effort and creativity, you can turn almost anything around. Even zucchini.” Later that day, I thought about Rachel’s words. Life, like zucchini, often gives us things we don’t ask for—unexpected difficulties, disappointments, or even challenges. But with patience and clever thinking, we can turn those moments into something valuable, even enjoyable. As I finished the last bite of the bread, I realized that zucchini wasn’t just a vegetable; it was a reminder to stay strong and see things from a new angle. 41. What did the author discover in her office one morning? A. A handwritten note along with the zucchini. B. A loaf of banana bread on her desk. C. A zucchini placed on her office chair. D. A thoughtful gift from someone at work. 42. What does the underlined word “anonymously” probably mean in Paragraph 2? A. Without leaving any name. B. Without being noticed. C. Without hesitation. D. Without purpose. 43. What did the author think of the zucchini bread? A. Traditional. B. Wonderful. C. Unhealthy. D. Ordinary. 44. Why does Rachel look forward to zucchini season? A. She sells zucchini to her neighbors. B. She likes growing zucchini in her garden. C. She uses zucchini for many dishes. D. She enjoys making zucchini bread. 45. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To show readers a fine view of life. B. To share a story about zucchini bread. C. To teach readers how to grow zucchini. D. To encourage people to work hard. C The robots are coming! In science fiction that is usually a ominous warning. But in the real world, it is a prediction — and a welcome one. The field of robotics has made impressive progress in the past year, as researchers have applied advances in artificial intelligence (AI) to machines, which gives robots of all kinds a dramatic brain upgrade. The latest advances in robotics will bring real and substantial benefits. One is that new “multimoda” AI models combine understanding of language and vision with data from robotic sensors and actuators. This makes it possible to deal with robots using ordinary words. You can ask a robot what it is able to see or tell it to “pick up the yellow fruit”. Such models in effect give robots a degree of common sense — in this case, knowing that a nearby banana is a kind of yellow fruit. And like a chatbot, a robot can be told to change its behaviour simply by changing a text prompt, something that would previously have required complex reprogramming. Another benefit is that robots are getting better at learning quickly through imitation and at applying one skill to another. This opens the door for robots to move out of factories and storehouses. Several companies and research groups are using the latest AI models to build human-like robots, which could cook, clean, and care for the aged and the needy. Advanced economies will need more automation if they are to maintain their standards of living. South Korea, Japan and China are all in the top five countries with the most robots for each factory worker. It is no coincidence that they are also ageing rapidly. Without robots to help out, more people may have to work longer and retire later. In the coming years, attitudes could well change from fearing the arrival of robots to wishing that they would get here sooner. 46. What does the underlined word “ominous” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Global. B. Early. C. Obvious. D. Threatening. 47. What do new “multimodal” AI models enable robots to do? A. Perform complex reprogramming. B. Have a conversation with humans. C. Respond to everyday language. D. Correct text instructions. 48. What does the author stress about robots in paragraph 3? A. They will play a key role in factories. B. They will take on more human tasks. C. They will require less human monitoring. D. They will benefit the aged more than others. 49. Why are South Korea, Japan and China mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To show they have many robots. B. To explain the role of robots in ageing societies. C. To share their experience with robots. D. To discuss why their populations are ageing. 50. What is the author’s attitude to advances in robotics? A. Favourable. B. Unclear. C. Concerned. D. Flexible. 第Ⅱ卷 第四部分：写作（共两节；满分30分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下列短文并回答问题。 This is a true story. One winter morning near Oxford, Maryland, a friend of mine set the breakfast table beside a large window with a view of the Tred Avon River. Across the river, beyond the dock, the snow covered the edge of the shore in white. For a moment, she stood quietly, looking at what the night’s storm had created. Suddenly, she leaned forward and peered through the icy window, trying to examine what she had seen more carefully. “It really is true,” she cried out loud. “There is a goose out there.” She saw a large Canadian goose, very still, its wings held tightly to its sides, and its feet stuck to the ice. From the dark skies, a group of swans (天鹅) appeared, flying in a straight line. They moved gracefully, bravely, and freely. Suddenly, they came down from the sky and surrounded the frozen goose. Seeing this, my friend feared the swans might hurt the goose with their strong beaks (鸟喙). Instead, their beaks began to break the ice around the goose. Eventually, the goose was surrounded by a small area of ice instead of being stuck in the frozen river. The swans flew up again, circling above, waiting to see if their work had helped. The goose lifted its head, pulled its body free, and stood on the ice. Four swans came down again, cleaning the goose’s wings with their beaks and removing the ice stuck to its feathers. The goose stretched its wings as far as it could. When its wings were fully open, the swans flew back up and continued their journey. Behind them, the goose rose into the sky with joy and joined the end of the elegant line. My friend was moved to tears. Even birds help those in trouble. I often think of this story and remind myself, “If birds can do this, why can’t humans?” 51. What does the underlined word “peered” mean in the first paragraph? (no more than 2 words) __________________________________________________________________________________ 52. What was wrong with the goose? (no more than 10 words) __________________________________________________________________________________ 53. What did the swans do when they surrounded the goose? (no more than 15 words) __________________________________________________________________________________ 54. How did the swans help the goose after it stood up? (no more than 15 words) __________________________________________________________________________________ 55. What lesson does the story of the goose teach you for the future? (no more than 20 words) __________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节：书面表达（满分20分） 56. 假如你是李津，你校英语角下周举办以“我最喜欢的中国诗人”为主题的英语演讲比赛，请你用英语写一篇演讲稿，内容包括：(1)人物简介；(2)喜欢的理由。 1.短文内容不少于100词； 2.开头和结尾已为你写好，不计入词数； 3.可适当发挥，以使行文连贯。 Good afternoon, everyone! ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you for listening! 2024~2025学年度第二学期________学校学习质量检测 高二英语试卷 本试卷由第Ⅰ卷和第Ⅱ卷组成，共120分，考试用时100分钟。 第Ⅰ卷 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分15分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

Today, I would like to talk about my favorite Chinese poet, Li Bai. Li Bai was a famous poet from the Tang Dynasty, known for his creative and beautiful poems. His works often focus on nature, freedom, and life, and they remain popular today. I admire Li Bai for his ability to express deep feelings with simple words. For example, in his poem “Quiet Night Thoughts,” he uses images of moonlight and frost to show his homesickness. His poems are touching and easy to understand, which makes them unforgettable. I also admire his bold and free spirit. Li Bai followed his dreams and lived an adventurous life. His passion for poetry inspires me to pursue my own dreams and enjoy life to the fullest.
