B Two words can sum up the life of Dr. Catana Starks — determination and achievement. Now the story of one of her many accomplishments — she’s the first African-American woman in history to coach a male college sports team — is a movie! The story is about Starks, who was the golf coach at her alma mater (母校) Tennessee State University, a traditionally Black College in Nashville. Starks’ unique coaching style and her achievements in the face of many challenges in, her position and in life is what will leave audiences inspired. She had to drive the team bus, wash her players’ golf, clothes, and had to constantly find places for her team to practice. Starks credits her strength to one woman in her life — her mother. A native of Mobile, Alabama, Starks was diagnosed with severe asthma (哮喘). Doctors told her mother she could never participate in sports. “My mother, she had an almost mystical belief of not being limited by circumstances”, says Starks, “so I grew up with a basketball goal in the backyard.” Asthma wasn’t the only challenge; she grew up in the segregated (被隔离的) South of the 1940s, “I learned to swim. I had to walk four miles in Mobile to get to a Black pool”. After getting the men’s golf coach job, Starks couldn’t find golfers. None of the males on campus would play. “Originally that didn’t work out because I was female,” said Starks. She had to innovate by recruiting (招聘) internationally, via telephone. The calls attracted players from Sweden to South Africa. During nearly twenty years in her charge her former players have differentiated themselves throughout the world including: Sam Puryear, the former Michigan State University golf coach-the first African American in its history, and Robert Dinwiddie, an All-American golfer at TSU and a current member of the European Tour having achieved three continuous Top-10 finishes in South Africa. Starks’ determination really paid off when the T-State Tigers won the National Minority Golf Championship in 2005. And another specialty for her career, ninety percent of the players graduated! 4. Which of the following is NOT a challenge Starks faced in her career? A. Being the team bus driver. B. Doing the laundry for her players. C. Walking to the Black swimming pool. D. Finding places for team practice. 5 What did Starks learn from her mother? A. A positive attitude towards life. B. A strong will to overcome tough situations. C. A willingness to push the limits of her body. D. Her unique coaching style. 6. Starks had a rough start as a golf coach because ________. A. she was African American B. she was a woman coach C. she was suffering asthma D. she was short of experience 7. The achievements of Starks’ players are mentioned to illustrate ________. A. like teacher like student B. education is the key to success C. practice makes perfect D. equality is greater than division C While conducting a workshop on creativity, I gave each small group a small box of paper clips (回形针). I invited each group to record as many different uses for a paper clip as they could in five minutes. Obviously, these third-grade student groups were able to generate multiple responses and the quality of those responses was all over the map. Their creativity was in full swing. We often have this belief that when faced with a creative challenge, we need to generate a really good idea that will save the day. As a result, we focus on “the perfect idea” or “the best solution” without the necessity of generating lots of bad ones along the way. Yet producing unworkable, impractical, and worthless ideas is a necessary and essential part of the creative process. One of the classic books, one that goes against the grain of what most writing instruction books do, is the incomparable Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within by Natalie Goldberg. One of the finest pieces of advice in the book is for writers and anyone trying to generate creative thoughts to give themselves permission to create crappy (蹩脚的) ideas. Creativity is based on the concept of producing multiple ideas — ideas without any restrictions, definitions, or limitations. When we imagine the quality of an idea, we limit its effectiveness. When we pre-assess thoughts in advance of putting them into action, we reduce their worth or ultimate use. The impacts are shocking. There is an idea that a sustained focus on producing only “good” or “perfect” ideas forces us into a “don’t take any risks” mindset and significantly reduces our creative spirit. The solution when faced with a creative challenge: generate overmuch ideas without regard to their appropriateness or usefulness. Some of those ideas will be possibilities and some will be useless. That’s OK. Ultimately, know this: generating crappy ideas is an essential part of the creative process. It’s your brain with its “pedal (踏板) to the metal”. 8. What does the author believe about the creative process? A. It must avoid taking any risks. B. It requires some perfect ideas. C. It’s limited to practical solutions. D. It should involve producing crappy ideas. 9. Why does the author mention the book Writing Down the Bones in paragraph 3? A. To explain a rule. B. To present a fact. C. To prove an opinion. D. To make a prediction. 10. What impact does focusing on perfect ideas have on creativity? A. Enhancing risk-taking. B. Limiting logical thoughts. C. Destroying creative spirit. D. Encouraging diverse thinking. 11. What would be the best title for this text? A. How We Overcome Creative Blocks B. Why It’s Good to Have Crappy Ideas C. The Ways of Generating Rich Creativity D. The Importance of Increasing Writing Art D 2024 was the hottest year on record, yet it might also be one of the coolest years of the rest of your life due to a phenomenon known as shifting baseline syndrome (基线漂移综合征). This mind trick causes people to grow used to the environmental conditions they currently experience, leading to a gradual decrease in societal environmental standards. It can act as a powerful barrier by reducing social recognition of the problem. For instance, younger generations often perceive current environmental conditions as unexceptional, even when older generations see them as significant declines. “The last two years have been kind of supercharged,” says Gavin Schmidt, a climate scientist. Temperatures have been climbing at a quicker pace, and “2023 and 2024 stand out.” In part, this is due to a recent El Nino, an event in which warming in the tropical (热带的) Pacific Ocean causes knock-on weather effects. But Schmidt says it could also indicate a rise in human-driven global warming resulting from the fact that “we keep putting our foot on the speeding device of greenhouse gases.” Along with the rise, scientists expect we’ll see an increase in climate-related disasters like wildfires. In principle, shifting baseline syndrome is relevant to a wide range of environmental challenges. In a recent review paper, scientists found many studies of shifting baselines indicate people struggle to notice gradual changes in climate, especially younger individuals. Most of these studies were conducted in low-income countries, and many focused on farmers. Scientists suspect people in wealthier countries are likely to be more impacted by shifting baselines because they tend to be less directly exposed to the impacts of climate change. “Even in places where many people are aware of the crisis,” says Adam Aron, a professor at the University of California, “people aren’t necessarily taking action or demanding that officials do.” If we want people to change, Aron believes “non-analytic” approaches are needed. “Non-analytic routes are standards of behavior that are accepted within society,” he says. “My neighbors have all put up solar panels and electrified their homes. I’m going to do it, too.” 12. What does shifting baseline syndrome lead to? A. Doubt about historical climate patterns. B. Inattention to the environmental decline. C. Acceptance of new societal standards. D. Concern about extreme weather events. 13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The increase of climate disasters. B. The effect of global warming. C. Consequences of human activities. D. Causes of the rising temperatures. 14. Why were the studies of shifting baselines conducted in low-income countries? A. They can avoid shifting baseline syndrome. B. They rarely notice changing climate patterns. C. They’re more affected by climate change. D They’re adaptable to environmental problems. 15. What does Adam Aron suggest? A. Promoting green energy initiatives. B. Using social norms to drive action, C. Strengthening government regulations. D. Developing more protective approaches. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) When you log into social media, does an algorithm (算法) govern your feed? When shopping online, do you often focus on top-listed, AI-suggested items? If you answer “Yes”, most of the time, you go along with what the algorithm recommends. ___16___ As the name suggests, the term refers to our growing tendency to outsource decisions to systems designed to predict and control our behavior. Now, there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with accepting algorithmic suggestions. ___17___ But like water slowly carving stone, repeated reliance on AI recommendations can weaken our capacity for independent judgement and even our sense of self. Over time, such reliance not only affects the quality of our choices but also undermines our ability to trust our own judgements. ___18___ It is the capacity to make intentional choices and take purposeful action. Exercising it requires that we actively shape ourselves through thoughtful choices, rather than being passively shaped by algorithms, social norms, or external pressures. To achieve this, practicing intentional pauses proves workable. That is, before accepting a recommendation, pause and ask, “Would I have made this choice on my own?” ___19___ For example, when you’re on YouTube, autoplay goes to another video. Instead of watching mindlessly, you pause and realize you’re not truly interested. You close the app and go for a walk instead, following your inner voice over automation. To be human is to choose. It is to exercise the human capacity for intentional action, the ability we have been given to be the authors of our own lives. As AI becomes more integrated in our lives, we must actively preserve our decision-making capacities. ___20___ A. That is how we remain human. B. So, it’s time to reclaim human agency. C. In many cases they save us considerable time. D. The aim of this question is to stay open to algorithm. E. This short reflection brings awareness to your decisions. F. Psychologists term this common practice “algorithmic dependence”. G. An algorithm is a set of defined rules you follow to get a specific result. 第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，共15分) I hated writing growing up.

In a ____30____, I asked a graduate in my lab for help. When asking him for ____31____ , I soon found the paper covered with red marks. Before I could back off in defeat, though, the graduate ____32____ that red didn’t mean I was a poor writer. Writing isn’t a one-and-done thing. All papers require ____33____, often several times. ____34____ it occurred to me, “Hadn’t I done the same thing while designing the inductor?” From then on, writing has become one favorite part of research.

It connected me to my roots, as my father and grandfather had all graduated from here. So, when our teacher Mr. Dow announced a group project to create a brochure (小册子) about our school for its 100th anniversary, I was thrilled. The best three brochures would be displayed in the school library, which was a chance to show the new students how wonderful our school was. I was paired with two classmates: Jake. who loved photography, and Lily who had a gift for writing. Working with others could be fun, right? But my enthusiasm quickly faded. Our first meeting was a disaster. When we discussed which part of the school we should focus on, Jake kept talking about cameras and photos. I turned to Lily, hoping for some support. But she simply shrugged and said, “I’m not really into this. It sounds boring.” Jake nodded in agreement. The project seemed to be harder than I thought. At our next meeting, I tried to lead the conversation back to the project. I shared some interesting facts I had researched about the school. However, neither of them seemed interested. Jake had promised to gather materials from the library, but instead he showed us photos taken on the weekend. Lily hadn’t started her part of the research either, claiming she had been too busy. I felt like I was the only one who cared. Back home, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I stayed up late that night, trying to create the brochure by myself. But no matter how hard I tried, the result was far from satisfactory. I was exhausted and disheartened. My mom noticed I was upset. “You can’t do this alone,” she gently reminded me. “Jake and Lily have talents that can make this project shine. You just need to find a way to get them involved.” 注意： 1.续写词数为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With only three days left, I knew I had to act. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the final day, we presented our brochure in class. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 镇江市实验高中2024-2025学年第二学期期末模拟监测 高一英语试卷 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) 1 What did the man want to do?

We visited a nursing home and patiently taught the seniors how to use apps like WeChat for video calls and online shopping. We also helped them set up payment functions safely. I felt really fulfilled. Seeing the elderly’s big smiles and their newfound digital skills, I realized that a little help can make a big difference in their lives. It’s our responsibility to help them keep up with the times. 第二节 读后续写(25分) 【47题答案】 【答案】With only three days left, I knew I had to act. After brainstorming some ideas, I invited Jake and Lily to my house. Opening my grandfather’s diary, I pointed at the faded photo of his class. “Your camera can save the moment for the future,” I told Jake, whose eyes suddenly sparkled. Then I suggested he photograph every corner of the school like “time travelers”. Meanwhile, Lily was engaged in my grandfather’s love letter, eager to bring hidden stories back to life. I was busy organizing layouts, combining historical accuracy with creativity. The clock was ticking, but our laughter replaced earlier frustration. (94词) On the final day, we presented our brochure in class. We stood by the blackboard as everyone went through the pages. They examined the brochure carefully, with their fingers tracing the photos, narratives and timelines which connected three generations of graduates. Noticing surprise on every face, we couldn’t wait to hear Mr. Dow’s announcement of the winner. “This work isn’t just about the school anniversary,” he finally said, tapping the cover where our three names shone, “it’s about how its spirit lives through students’ cooperation.” That afternoon in the library, seeing our brochure on display, we realized our combined talents had created what none could alone.
