B Growing up in a least developed country, I was aware of the challenges facing my community and nation-poverty, inequality, and limited access to education and healthcare. These challenges fueled my determination to contribute to positive changes and reduce the suffering of others. In 2018, I came to China to study and actively participated in public welfare activities.During these events, local people often called me "Yang Lei Feng", meaning “foreign Lei Feng”. Curious, I looked him up online and discovered a young soldier known for his selflessness and dedication to helping others. The more I read, the more I saw how his values were consistent with the principles I held. He once said, “I will devote my finite (有限的) life to the infinite cause of serving the people." Inspired by his belief, I established the Lei Feng International Volunteer Association on Lei Feng Day in 2021. Its mission is to support children with special needs, assist the elderly, promote environmental awareness, empower through education, and promote cross-cultural understanding. In the modern world often focused on individual success, I believe Lei Feng's philosophy of selflessness and community service feels more relevant than ever. His life was not about grand gestures but rather a series of small acts of kindness that, when multiplied, can create a better world. On Lei Feng Day in 2023, I took a brave step to spread his spirit beyond China by launching the global "Learn from Lei Feng” initiative. We celebrated the day in five countries through discussions on his biography, charity programs, and community service activities. What began as a vision to promote Lei Feng's values internationally has since grown into a global movement, now covering 15 countries. Our efforts not only strengthen cross-cultural bonds but also contribute to building a more service-oriented world. 24. What do we know about the author from his growing experiences? A. He faced health challenges. B. He had sympathy for others. C. He was born in a poor family. D. He received limited education. 25. Why did the author establish the Volunteer Association? A. To explore the meaning of life. B. To get international support. C. To carry on Lei Feng's values. D. To study Lei Feng's quotes. 26. What does the author suggest people do in the present world? A. Devote to grand tasks. B. Learn related philosophy. C. Keep doing good deeds. D. Focus on personal success. 27. Which aspect of the author's charity work does the last paragraph focus on? 大湾区联考高二英语第2页(共8页) A. Origin. B. Methods.C. Goals. D. Impact. C We're familiar with the trappings of onscreen science fiction (sci-fi), many of which generously expand the possibilities of real science. But it is not just a place for imagination: it holds an important position in contemporary culture, and its influence can be seen in the direction of some real scientific and technological advances. Onscreen sci-fi is extremely popular, taking up four of the current top five box office hits. It's also central to the history of film: the move to narrative film making, which defined cinema as we know it today, is widely associated with the film 4 Trip to the Moon, made by Meliès who saw the potential for creating special effects. A film scholar includes this film among the “32 most significant moments in the history of film", stating it changed the way movies were produced. Science fiction serves as an inspiration for real life. Many common devices were imagined in sci-fi before entering the real world. The classic series Star Trek features several everyday technologies that seemed unbelievable in the 1960s: video calls, automatic sliding doors, and flip phones (翻盖手机). Among them, flip phones are already becoming a thing of the past, but the rise of foldable smartphones evokes the folding screens found in other popular science fiction such as Minority Report or Westworld. The influence of particular works of science fiction extends beyond technology 'and can even shape scientific investigations. In making the successful sci-fi movie Interstellar, Franklin, the visual effects supervisor, worked with a physicist, Thorne, to create better black hole images. This was no small task for either of them, so they worked tirelessly together. The result provided new insights on gravitational lensing (透镜效应)around black holes, which was published in two technical papers after the film's release. So, the influence of oniscreen sci-fi is not reserved for box-office takings, but can inspire real changes in science and society. Although we are not sure what inventions may emerge from the screen in future years, we anticipate that they continue to provide fantastic development for our life. 28. Why was A Trip to the Moon mentioned? A. To define the feature of current sci-fi films. B. To highlight talents of a sci-fi film director. C. To display the potential of film special effects. D. To show sci-fi films' role in film development. 29. What does the underlined word “evokes" mean in paragraph 3? A. Recalls. B. Inspires, C.Abandons. D.Updates. 30. What was the unexpected result of the cooperation between Franklin and Thorne? A. The discovery of a universal theory, B. The better pictures of black holes. C. The publication of scientific articles. D. The commercial success of a film. 31. What is the author's attitude towards sci-fi films? A. Positive. B. Unclear C. Objective D. Negative. 大湾区联考高二英语第3页(共8页) D A strange sound named “biotwang" was first heard bouncing around the Mariana Islands 10 years ago, and scientists have finally figured out where it comes from. Confirming which creature makes a particular unusual noise isn't easy: it requires a person to see and identify the source at exactly the same time the sound is heard. That's how Allen, an ocean scientist, and her team finally solved the biotwang mystery. While surveying whales off the Mariana Islands, researchers saw a Bryde's whale 10 times. These rarely observed whales have a vast range across much of the ocean, making them hard to study. On nine of the occasions when Bryde's whales turned up, the researchers also heard the biotwang. “Once, it's a coincidence,” Allen says. “Twice is happenstance (偶然). Nine times, it's definitely a Bryde's whale.” After identifying the source, the scientists reviewed years' worth of audio(音频)data to figure out where this specific whale sound had previously been heard. But the database had more than 200,000 hours of such recordings, making it simply impossible to analyze. Then Allen turned to data scientists who adopted AI tools to speed up the analysis by transforming audio data into an image and then training algorithms (算法) to look for certain frequencies using image recognition. The data suggest that as climate change worsens, the location of the whales’ food shifts. So these whales have to travel farther and work harder to find food. The data-processing technology isn't perfect as these algorithms can only search for a frequency while whale sounds change over time. But because the tools are open source, other scientists can use them to discover more about whale language. “We seem to be so distant from, or have no access to, this amazing underwater world of sound," Allen says. “I think it's about time that we changed that.” 32. How did Allen's team figure out the source of the biotwang? A. By analyzing population statistics. B. By observing species and habitats. C. By expanding the range of surveys. D. By matching sightings and sounds. 33. Why were AI tools applied to the research? A. To predict results. B. To boost efficiency. C. To develop systems. D. To transform images. 34. What will improve our knowledge of underwater sounds according to the last paragraph? A. Accessible creature, B. Shortened distance, C. Scientific cooperation. D. Perfect technology. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. The solution of a sound mystery. B. The role of AI in marine sound study. C. The discovery of a marine species. D. The strange world of underwater sounds. 大湾区联考高二英语第4页(共8页) 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。 Spider plants (吊兰) are interesting, charming and undemanding, making them great houseplants. If there's a better species than a spider plant for a hanging basket plant, then I have yet to discover it. 36 They develop cute baby plants on long, flexible stalks (茎) hanging down from all sides. You can cut off the little spider plants once their roots are large enough and plant them in their own containers. There is a variety of spider plants, including an all-green one and ones with white or yellow lines in the middle or down the edge. Whatever the variety is, their grass-like leaves grow long enough to arch down to form very attractive hanging plants 37 Spider plants are extremely easy to maintain in top condition as long as you follow these tips. Plant your hanging spider plant in average potting soil 38 Although the plant is known to be very tolerant, it will not grow well in wet soil. Spider plants tolerate some drought 39 Ideally, take the plants outside and hang them up, then water them until the excess runs out of the holes. Don't fertilize spider plants very often, if at all. Too much fertilizer can burn the roots. Generous fertilizer also seems to limit the number of babies. Don't change pots unless roots come out of the soil 40 They have more babies when they are tight in their containers. A. Spider plants are fun to keep. B. You can water the roots more often. C. Spider plants like to be a little crowded. D. Spider plants are restricted by baby plants. E. Use a hanging pot with holes at the bottom. F. But it is important to water the plants when the top soil dry out. G. They actually change an ordinary room into a vivid and elegant space. 大湾区联考高二英语第5页(共8页) 第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Every year, Bannister climbs a hill near her home with friends.

Sharing the same passion for music, Eddie formed a band, The Stars, with his childhood friends Luis and Ruben. One day, they received a letter inviting them to a local music festival a month away. Excited, they decided to practise separately every day and then together once a week. But deep down, Eddie worried about their show because of Ruben, the guitarist. Although Ruben was a quick learner, he didn't like to practise on his own at home. As a result, he often made a lot of mistakes due to lack of practice. This was a big problem for the band. One week later, as scheduled, they gathered at the drummer Luis's house for group practice. But they had only played a few lines when Ruben started making mistakes. “Sorry. I ... I just ...” Ruben tried to make an excuse. “You just haven't been practising again. You are always like this! We need to practise more; we are running out of time.” Luis's face turned red with anger. Ruben also shouted back. Both boys stood locking eyes, full of tension. Eddie broke up the argument and calmed them down. He turned to Ruben, asking why he didn't play at home. “I don't like to play music on my own,” Ruben confessed(坦白). “My guitar sounds lonely by itself. You know I have trouble focusing on things." That night, Eddie's father asked how band practice was going. Letting out a frustrated sigh, Eddie told him what had happened, saying they were considering replacing Ruben. His dad listened quietly, and then offered a simple suggestion, “Instead of practising the same song alone, why not figure out what helps Ruben focus?"Not wanting to lose Ruben as a band member or as a friend, Eddie began to think about it. 注意: (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Suddenly an idea struck Eddie. The day of the music festival finally arrived. 大湾区联考高二英语第8页(共8页) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
