Despite the unconventional path she has discovered deep contentment with working at a lice (虱子) clinic. Her role comes with a diverse set of responsibilities, from detecting and treating head lice using an officially approved device to scheduling appointments, selling products, collecting payments, and providing education to patients. Yet. Hawn’s primary focus is to assuage the fears of her patients. She takes enormous joy in helping mothers avoid panic attacks after long days, saving teenage girls from embarrassment at school, and bringing peace of mind to those who have been dealing with lice. For Hawn, seeing the positive impact she has on people’s lives makes a big difference. Working at the lice clinic has not only helped her develop career skills, but it has also confirmed her desire to work in healthcare. Through her experience, Hawn has realized that her true passion lies in helping others regain their confidence and peace of mind. Hawn has been working at the clinic for nearly five years. Despite the misconceptions people have about lice, she remains committed to her work. She even addresses the common myth that lice can fly or jump, explaining that lice only spread through direct head-to-head contact. Hawn takes precautions to ensure she doesn’t carry anything home after treatments. While balancing her work at the clinic with school is demanding, Hawn manages by taking weekend shifts. She is fortunate to have employers who accommodate her school schedule. Her primary goal throughout her education has been to graduate debt-free, and the lice clinic has provided her with the means to achieve this. Looking to the future, Hawn plans to focus on her current work after graduation but she is open to continuing part-time at the lice clinic. She has even considered opening her own clinic one day. Her work at the lice clinic has been a stepping stone toward a promising future in health care. 24. Hawn believes that working at the clinic can bring her a sense of ________. A. relief B. belonging C. satisfaction D. responsibility 25. What does the underlined word “assuage” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Tolerate. B. Record. C. Ease. D. Explain. 26. What can we know about Hawn from paragraph 4? A She finds that her job is quite challenging. B. She has to turn to her parents for the debt. C. She often fails to catch up with her schedule. D. She works to support herself through college. 27. What does Hawn probably intend to do after graduation? A. Devote herself to health care. B. Reconsider her initial work plan. C. Further her study on medicine. D. Get a full-time job at the lice clinic. C Humans have always been creating security systems to deal with the sorts of mistakes humans commonly make. Now, humanity is rapidly integrating a totally different kind of mistake-maker into society: artificial intelligence (AI). Technologies like large language models (LLMs) can perform many cognitive (认知的) tasks traditionally fulfilled by humans, but they make plenty of mistakes. Unlike human mistakes, AI errors lack patterns and usually show invisibility even when they are incorrect. This situation indicates two possible areas of research. The first is to engineer LLMs that make more human-like mistakes. The second is to build new mistake-correcting systems that deal with the specific sorts of mistakes that LLMs tend to make. We already have some tools to lead LLMs to act in more human-like ways and the tools perform far better than we expected. Many of these arise from the field of “alignment” research, which aims to make models act in accordance with the goals and motivations of their human developers. One example is the technique that was arguably responsible for the breakthrough success of an app: reinforcement (强化) learning with human feedback. In this method, an AI model is rewarded for producing responses that get a thumbs-up from human evaluators. When it comes to catching AI mistakes some of the systems that we use to prevent human mistakes will help. To an extent, forcing LLMs to double-check their own work can help prevent errors. But LLMs can also make up seemingly reasonable, but truly ridiculous explanations for their flights from reason. In addition, other mistake reduction systems for AI are also unlike anything we use for humans. Because machines can’t get tired or frustrated in the way that humans do, it can help to ask an LLM the same question repeatedly in slightly different ways and then combine its multiple responses. These differences highlight the need for new, custom-made correction mechanisms (机制) that match the unique nature of AI-ensuring these technologies can be safely and reliably integrated into human societies. 28. How are AI mistakes different from human mistakes? A. They are not easy to detect. B. They follow predictable patterns. C. They tend to be in larger numbers. D. They are not related to cognitive tasks. 29. What does the author want to stress about the tools for leading the behavior of LLMs? A. They have certain positive effects. B. Their application hasn’t been popular. C. They need further training for human evaluators’ rewards. D. Their goals have not met the original intentions of human developers. 30. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. AI mistakes are easier to fix than human errors. B. Humans require tailored solutions for AI errors. C. AI is able to copy any systems we use for humans. D. Systems for correcting human mistakes can prevent LLMs mistakes fully. 31. What is the the best title for the text? A. Why Is AI Always Right? B. When Do Human Errors Increase? C. Adapting to AI Error Patterns D. Making AI Mistakes Manageable D For decades, recursion (递归) — the ability to create patterns within patterns, like boxes fitting inside each other — was seen as a skill only humans used in language. This tool lets us build endless sentences from simple words, such as “The monkey watches the bird following the butterfly that eats flowers”. However, a new study on wild orangutans (红毛猩猩) questions this idea, suggesting this ability might have existed much earlier in our shared evolutionary history. Researchers from the University of Warwick studied over 1,000 alarm calls from female Sumatran orangutans. They found a surprising three-level repeating pattern in their sounds. First, single sounds formed small groups, which then combined into longer sequences, and finally repeated in even larger series — all keeping a steady rhythm at each level. This musical-like layering showed complexity never seen before in animals outside humans. Importantly, the orangutans changed their calls based on danger. When real hunters like tigers appeared, their sounds became faster and sharper. For false threats, the calls slowed down and lost their regular beat. This flexibility proved their sounds were not accidental but carried clear messages about different dangers. Dr. Chiara De Gregorio, lead author of the study, stated, “Discovering such advanced sound patterns in orangutans makes us rethink what makes human language special. Recursion likely didn’t appear suddenly in humans but developed slowly in our ancient ancestors.” The findings suggest this key language feature might have existed over 10 million years ago, long before humans spoke complex words. By comparing orangutan communication to human language, scientists now better understand how evolution shaped our ability to share ideas. These results also reveal the impressive mental abilities of great apes (类人猿), pushing us to reconsider the line between animal calls and human speech. As Dr. De Gregorio says, “Every sound in an orangutan’s call may hold secrets about how our own language began.” 32. What did researchers discover about orangutans’ alarm calls? A. They model after humans’ speech rhythms. B. Their calls are identical across all situations. C. They use unique words to identify different threats. D. Their sounds follow a structured pattern with multiple layers. 33. How did orangutans adjust their calls when facing real dangers? A. Their calls became quicker and higher. B. They produced deeper sounds. C. They completely stopped voice. D. Their sounds change with a fast-paced rhythm. 34. What does the study imply about the origin of recursion in language? A. It evolved separately in humans and orangutans. B. It is a modern skill unrelated to evolutionary history. C. It only exists in animals with advanced social systems. D. It might have developed gradually in early human ancestors. 35. What is the text? A. A news article. B. A scientific study. C. A historical account. D. A scientific guide. 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。 A travel blog is more than a place to share stories. It’s also a space for memories.

Maya had always dreamed of becoming a writer. However, Maya lacked confidence in herself. Despite her self-doubt, Maya’s parents were her pillars of support. They encouraged her to follow her dreams and assured her that she had the potential to make a career out of her passion for writing. With their unwavering support, Maya continued to pursue her dream of becoming a writer. One day, while looking through the Internet, Maya found a writing competition. The prize was getting to go to a writing class with famous writers. This chance really spoke to her and made her excited, even though she still felt unsure about herself. She knew this could be a big moment, a way to realize her dreams and move closer to being a writer. With her parents support, Maya dedicated herself to perfecting her writing skills. It wasn’t always easy, as she faced numerous rejections and setbacks along the way. Doubts and fear would occasionally creep in, but Maya refused to give up. At last, Maya received an email that changed everything. She had won the writing competition and was invited to the workshop she had dreamed about. Excitement coursed through her veins as she couldn’t wait to meet the famous writers. At the workshop, Maya met aspiring writers from all walks of life. She learned from experienced authors, listened to their stories of struggles and success, and soaked up their wisdom. The workshop not only enhanced her writing skills but also ignited a fire within her to share her unique voice with the world. Filled with newfound confidence, Maya returned home and continued to write with enthusiasm. She submitted her work to various publishing houses. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 However, her submissions were often met with rejection letters. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Maya’s blog gained more followers, the online readers became a source of unwavering support. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 汉中市普通高中二年级期末质量检测考试 英语 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 (共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5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。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。 例：How much is the shirt?

To illustrate this point, let me share my English learning journey. Once, with poor spoken English, I feared communicating with others. But instead of shrinking back, I joined an English corner, where my broken sentences and awkward pronunciation often made me misunderstood. However, I kept practicing with great determination, corrected my mistakes, and gradually became fluent in speaking English. Difficulties are not obstacles but stepping-stones. Embracing them helps us become “skillful mariners” in our own lives. A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner. 第二节 (满分25分) 【67题答案】 【答案】参考范文： However, her submissions were often met with rejection letters. But Maya was determined not to let them define her. She decided to take a different approach. Instead of submitting to the usual publishing houses, she began to explore online platforms that could like her unique voice. She then started a blog, sharing her stories and connecting with readers directly. To her surprise, her blog posts began to gain popularity, and she received heartfelt comments from readers who appreciated with her words. This newfound audience gave her encouragement, and slowly but surely, her confidence grew stronger. As Maya’s blog gained more followers, the online readers became a source of unwavering support. They shared her posts with friends, and left encouraging comments. Even one reader wrote to her, saying that her words had inspired him to pursue his own dreams despite the obstacles he faced. This outpouring of support from her online community not only boosted Maya’s morale but also reminded her of the power of storytelling. She realized that her journey, filled with both huge success and setbacks, had the ability to connect people and inspire change. Through it all, Maya knew that she had made the right choice in following her passion for writing. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
