Kimani's journey began in a small Kenyan village on the Aberdare Mountains.Witnessing firsthand the severe impact ofpests and diseases on their crops-and consequently,their income-she understood early how agricultural losses could mean unmet basic needs like school fees and healthcare. Despite these challenges,Kimani became the first girl from her village to attend university,studying computer science.It was there that she recognized the potential of technology to solve rural farmers' struggles,and that's how FLT was born. In Kenya alone,7.5 million smallholder farmers lose up to 50%of their yield (to pests and diseases annually-losses that could feed millions.Traditional solutions like hiring agricultural consultants or using drones (are extremely expensive.To solve this critical issue,she developed an AI-powered camera,which is set up on farms at no advance cost.It scans crops continuously and warns farmers through Short Message Service(SMS)for $3 per month the moment pests or diseases are detected. A key focus for Kimani is supporting women farmers,who make up 43%of the agricultural labor force in developing nations,but who often lack access to technology."Men in rural communities tend to have smartphones,while women rely on basic feature phones,"she notes."Through SMS,we ensure women aren't left behind." Kimani's innovation has already impacted thousands of farmers,78%of whom have reported a yield increase of over 36%.Her team aims to reach 200 thousand farms across the country within five years.For Kimani,success in 2030 means seeing 200 thousand smallholder farmers living with dignity-affording education,healthcare,and financial stability through improved yields.Kimani is not just building a company;she's reshaping the future of African agriculture. 24.Why did Kimani found FLP? A.To research crop types. B.To expand AI industry. C.To finance rural farmers. D.To address farming issues. 25.How does the AI-powered camera help farmers? A.By sending them timely warnings. B.By connecting them to consultants. C.By controlling drones to scan crops. D.By driving pests away automatically. 26.What is an advantage of Kimani's inovation? A.Zero cost. B.Tailored service.C.Easy maintenance. D.Equal access. 27.What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A.Kimani will pursue further education. B.Kimani's breakthrough powers the future. C.African agriculture will take the lead. D.Financial policies greatly affect agriculture. 高一英语第4页（共10页） C What do you do as spring sets in?Taking off your warm winter coat,and putting it away?For humans,taking off winter coats is a one-minute task.As it turns out,not all animals are so capable Snowshoe rabbits live in the mountain ranges of North America,and have a pure white coat during the wintertime to match the snowy surroundings and to help avoid being caught.And they take off winter coats for a darker brown fur colour to match the dirt and leaves after the snow melts in the spring. Sounds like a great way to escape from their natural enemies,right?However,concern begins when scientists begin looking at how the warming climate will impact the rabbits. There are more and more white rabbits in the middle of a brown habitat,where the snow has already melted away.This is a problem for them,as they are more easily seenby their natural enemies, giving them a"mismatch"problem.Snowshoe rabbits time the coat change in spring from white to brown based on the change in day length,not the temperature or the presence of snow in their habitat. Nowadays,the snow is melting a week on average before the change in day length signals the change in coat colour,leaving the rabbits exposed to their natural enemies. Some predictions put the rabbits in up to 8 weeks of a white coat in a brown,snowless habitat by the end of this century.This timeline could spell doom for their populations,as their natural enemies will have nearly two months of easily spotting them. Fortunately,scientists have found areas with snowshoe rabbits in colour from white to brown in the same place,meaning the timing of the coat change can be influenced by the environment.Snowshoe rabbits reproduce quickly,and if the colour change timing is passed down then it is possible for rabbits to change coats accordingly.By protecting areas with variable ones,we can give snowshoe rabbits the opportunity to adapt to the changing climate. 28.Why does the author mention humans'taking off winter coats? A.To imply the cleverness of humans. B.To stress the influence of climate change. C.To lead to the problem of snowshoe rabbits.D.To show the bond between humans and animals. 29.What has made scientists worry about snowshee rabbits? A.They are active in freezing winter. B.They keep white fur when snow melts. C.They fail to keep their white colour. D.They are easily caught on snowy days. 30.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean? A.More rabbits will be killed. B.Rabbits'enemies are stronger. C.The rabbit population will explode. D.The rabbits may die out soon. 31.Which can be a suitable title for the text? A.Snowshoe Rabbits:Masters of Coat Change. B.Snowshoe Rabbits:Survivors of Illegal Hunting. C.Snowshoe Rabbits:Victims of Climate Mismatch. D.Snowshoe Rabbits:Witnesses of Natural Selection 高一英语第5页（共10页） D If you're digitally skilled,it has likely been a while since you spent much time writing by hand. The laborious process of outlining our thoughts,letter by letter,on the page is becoming a thing of the past in our screen-dominated world,where text messages and-thumb-typed grocery lists have replaced handwritten letters and sticky notes.To keep up,many schools are introducing computers as early as preschool,meaning some kids may leam the basics of typing before writing by hand.Although electronic keyboards offer obvious efficiency benefits,giving up handwriting may come at a significant cost. Typing pays no attention to the form of the letters-only involving relatively simple and uniform movements.By contrast,handwriting is a complex task Motor system has to finely adjust the pressure that each finger applies on the pen to recreate each letter.Adding to the complexity,your visual system must continuously process that letter as it's formed,with your brain making adjustments to fingers in real time to create the letters'shapes "This process lets you make your body and what you are seeing mesh(匹配)，”says Robert Wiley,,a cognitive(认知的)psychologist at the University of North Carolina, adding"such complexity is vital to mental development." Screens and keyboards replacing pen and paper might affect kids'ability to learn letters,which is actually an important predictor of later reading and math achievement.If young children are not receiving any handwriting training,their brains simply won't reach their full potential.For adults,typing often results in failing to actually process information.During a lecture,it's possible to type what they're hearing word for word.But often,they're just typing blindly,failing to make information their own.On the other hand,taking notes by hand forces them to write only key words and use drawings or arrows to work through ideas. Actually,we don't have to drop digital tools,like graphics tablets and smart pens,to take advantage of the power of handwriting.Recent research suggests that writing on a screen activates the same brain pathways as writing on paper.It's the movement that counts,not its final form. 32.What does the author mainly convey in paragraph 1? A.Abandoning handwriting is unwise. B Handwritten communication is out of date. C.Digital literacy is ignored nowadays. D.Computer courses are unusual in preschools. 33.Why is handwriting considered a complex task? A.It demands high creativity in designing each letter. B.It involves precise finger pressure and visual adjustment. C.It relies entirely on visual processing to shape the letters. D.It requires consistent pressure from the fingers to form letters. 高一英语第6页（共10页） 34.What can be iferred from paragraph 3? A.Blind typing contributes to brain development. B.Kids have a preference for screens and keyboards. C.Handwritten markers are good for getting ideas linked. D.Adults have the ability to memorize complex information. 35.What is the author's attitude towards using digital pens? A.Cautious. B.Unconcerned.C.Critical. B Favourable. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 How to Quiet a Complainer Have you ever suffered your mother's complaints about her aches and pains?Lengthy complaints will ruin the quality of your time together.36 Actually there are some ways to get a complainer to stop without starting an argument. Change the subject.Some complainers will switch topics if you shift the conversation in a direction that interests them.If your neighbor is complaining about the phone company,tell her about an unexpected call you received from an old friend.If your coworker is complaining about your boss,ask whether he met the new employee.37 Summarize the complaint.If your complainer keeps repeating himself,he may stop if you show that you're listening.38 Using"I"statements rather than"You"statements shows that you're interested rather than trying to shut the person down.Avoid saying the word"complaining".Saying you hear their dissatisfaction gets the pomts across. Try to be honest.When you have things to do,tell the complainer that you must cut the conversation short.39 You can simply be honest,even saying you need to move on so the conversation doesn't bring you down-especially if it's someone who's complained to you many times before. 40 When it's someone very close to you-your partner,sibling,or best friend-who stresses you out with a lot of negativity,it's important to talk about the problem with an open heart. Otherwise,if you bottle up your feelings and continue listening to repeated complaints,you may grow angry or start avoiding the person. A.Have a heart-to-heart talk. B.Avoid mentioning something negative. C.But you may not be brave enough to stop her. D.Just get them off the focus that they're currently on. E.The problems start when complaining becomes a habit. F.You don't need excuses such as a work deadline or a dentist appointment. G.Ask something like,"Can I tell you what I've heard and I understand how you feel?" 高一英语第7页（共10页） 第三部分语言知识运用（共三节，满分45分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最 佳选项。 A surprising new hobby taught me there's more than one way to be flexible.
