Conference, four registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) share their journey, love for nutrition and their community impact. Jessica Crandall Snyder Snyder Jessica Crandall Snyder grew up in the mid-west and always had an interest in nutrition, which was inspired by her mother’s struggle with weight. She initially pursued a career in journalism, but her passion for the field continued to grow, leading her to switch to a career as an RDN. Today, she serves as a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Sharon Smalling Sharon Smalling has always been an athlete. In college, she discovered the crucial role of nutrition in peak performance, which inspired her to pursue a degree in Nutrition and Dietetics. Now, she works as an RDN to create nutrition education programs for inner-city children. She aims to enable children to make healthy choices. Christy Wilson Christy Wilson’s struggles with an eating disorder in college led her to pursue nutrition as a way to keep good physical condition. Her passion for the field led her to become an RDN and she now works as a dietitian for a treatment center that educates people with eating disorders on how to develop a healthy relationship with food. Sylvia Klinger Sylvia Klinger grew up in Colombia and had been exposed to a diverse range of fresh fruits and vegetables that led her to develop a deep passion for food and nutrition. After moving to the United States, she became an RDN and is now focused on educating the Latin (拉丁人) community about nutrition and healthy eating habits. Sylvia is committed to improving health outcomes. 1. Who was more influenced by another person’s experience to choose nutrition? A. Jessica Crandall Snyder. B. Sharon Smalling. C. Christy Wilson. D. Sylvia Klinger. 2. Why did Christy Wilson begin to pursue nutrition? A. To promote a new diet style. B. To help her maintain health. C. To conduct research on eating habits. D.

She was not interested in nutrition at first. D. She switched to a career related to higher education. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了四位注册营养师（RDNs）的职业旅程、对营养学的热爱以及他们对社区的影响。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Jessica Crandall Snyder部分“Snyder Jessica Crandall Snyder grew up in the mid-west and always had an interest in nutrition, which was inspired by her mother’s struggle with weight.(Jessica Crandall Snyder在中西部长大，一直对营养学有着浓厚的兴趣，这一兴趣源于她母亲与体重问题的斗争)”可知，Jessica Crandall Snyder是受他人经历影响而选择营养学的。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Christy Wilson部分“Christy Wilson’s struggles with an eating disorder in college led her to pursue nutrition as a way to keep good physical condition.(在大学期间曾饱受饮食失调的困扰，这一经历促使她投身于营养学领域，以保持良好的身体状态)”可知，Christy Wilson开始追求营养学是为了维持健康。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“After moving to the United States, she became an RDN and is now focused on educating the Latin (拉丁人) community about nutrition and healthy eating habits.(移居美国后，她成为了注册营养师，并且现在致力于向拉丁裔群体普及营养知识和健康饮食习惯)”可知，Sylvia Klinger现在为拉丁社区工作。故选B。 B “Living out of a suitcase” means you can fit your life into just a few bags and you don’t own or rent a long-term apartment. Essentially, you’re a nomad (流浪者). When I was fourteen years old, my mom had the idea of dropping everything to travel the world and create a closer connection between family members. Although I absolutely loved the idea, I couldn’t imagine leaving my friends, school, and all my “stuff” behind to travel the world full-time with my family. To my surprise, during the travel, we have learned the most important moments are when we live happy moments with our family and friends. As we travel, we barely carry anything with us except the essential things like clothes, a laptop, notebooks, and toiletries (洗漱用品). We each carry a backpack and all five of us share two suitcases for clothes. After buying new souvenirs or new clothes, we give some of our old outfits away to people in need and it makes us so happy to be able to give back wherever we can. At the beginning, it was difficult for us to get used to never having a closet (衣橱), constantly changing hotel rooms, and never fully unpacking before we were back on the road. But over time we have learned to appreciate the value of having less — the freedom to live for experiences and the joy of traveling “light” in mind, body, and spirit. Many of the wonderful new friends we have made on our journey have opened our eyes to how lucky we are. We have met families in many parts of the world who live in small homes with no running water, yet they always have huge smiles and are willing to share with us. We now know that experiences and memories are the most valuable things in life and that they can only be acquired when we let go of our need for possessions and focus on what really matters in life — enjoying our lives each day with the people we love. 4. Why did the author’s mom decide to travel the world? A. To build stronger family bonds. B. To escape their current life. C. To enrich their travel experiences. D. To ease the work pressure. 5. What was the author’s initial feeling about the idea of traveling the world? A. Annoyed and fearful. B. Confused but hopeful. C. Pleased and excited. D. Interested but doubtful. 6. What did the family do with their old clothes after acquiring new ones? A. They directly threw them away. B. They kept them as souvenirs. C. They donated them to people in need. D. They exchanged them with local residents. 7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. We should let go of every single possession. B. Material wealth and possessions bring happiness. C. Material possessions should not be our ultimate goal. D. The family used to place too much emphasis on wealth. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者一家放弃固定住所，“拎包就走”环游世界的经历，在这个过程中作者一家学会了珍惜少物的价值，体验到了生活的自由和快乐，并意识到经历和回忆才是生活中最宝贵的东西。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“When I was fourteen years old, my mom had the idea of dropping everything to travel the world and create a closer connection between family members.(当我十四岁的时候，我妈妈有了放下一切去环游世界的想法，想让家庭成员之间建立更紧密的联系。)”可知，作者的妈妈决定环游世界是为了加强家庭成员之间的联系，即建立更牢固的家庭纽带。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“Although I absolutely loved the idea, I couldn’t imagine leaving my friends, school, and all my ‘stuff’ behind to travel the world full-time with my family.(虽然我非常喜欢这个想法，但我无法想象离开我的朋友、学校和我所有的‘东西’，和家人一起全职环游世界。)”可知，作者喜欢这个想法，但无法想象离开朋友、学校和所有的东西去环游世界，说明作者对环游世界的想法既感兴趣但又怀疑。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“After buying new souvenirs or new clothes, we give some of our old outfits away to people in need and it makes us so happy to be able to give back wherever we can.(买了新纪念品或新衣服后，我们会把一些旧衣服送给有需要的人，无论在哪里，我们都能回馈社会，这让我们感到非常高兴。)”可知，作者一家买了新衣服后，会把旧衣服送给有需要的人。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“We now know that experiences and memories are the most valuable things in life and that they can only be acquired when we let go of our need for possessions and focus on what really matters in life — enjoying our lives each day with the people we love.(我们现在知道，经历和回忆是生活中最宝贵的东西，只有当我们放下对物质的追求，专注于生活中真正重要的事情——与我们所爱的人一起享受每一天的生活时，才能获得它们。)”可知，作者一家现在知道经历和回忆是生活中最宝贵的东西，只有放下对物质的追求，专注于生活中真正重要的事情时，才能获得它们，由此可推知，物质财富不应该成为我们的最终目标。故选C项。 C The intersection of art and technology has always fascinated humanity. Nowhere is this more evident than in the world of poetry, where artificial intelligence (AI) is starting to make significant steps. AI poets are computer programs designed to generate poems, modeled after the style, rhythm, and even some emotional aspects of human works. AI has the ability to analyze vast databases of existing poems, identifying patterns in language, rhyme structures. Using machine-learning patterns, some AI poets can generate new lines of poetry. However, a fundamental question remains: can AI-generated poetry truly replace the creative wisdom of human-made poetry? Human poets draw on a lifetime of experiences, emotions, and cultural contexts to create their works. They use language not just as a means of communication but as a way to express the indescribable. In contrast, AI operates based on data and pattern. While it can produce technically perfect poems, it lacks the lived experiences and subjective feelings that give human poetry its quality of being true. Poetry critics often point out that the best poems are those that resonate (共鸣) with readers, challenging their perspectives and bringing strong feelings. AI-generated poems, despite their technical complexity, often fail to achieve this emotional reflection. For instance, a human poem about love may capture the pain and joy of romantic relationships while an AI-generated poem on the same topic may seem lacking individual personality and imagination. Supporters of AI poets claim that it can popularize the art form, making poetry creation accessible to anyone with a computer. AI could inspire a new generation of poets. Additionally, AI can introduce novel combinations of words and ideas, expanding the boundaries of what is considered poetry. As the debate continues, the AI in poetry forces us to re-evaluate our understanding of creativity, art, and the human experience and challenges us to consider what makes a poem truly great. 8. What is the primary function of AI poets according to the passage? A. To boost human poets’ creativity. B. To teach people how to write poetry. C. To analyze problems of existing poems. D. To create poems based on human poetry. 9. What is a major limitation of AI-generated poetry compared to human poetry? A. It cannot identify patterns in language. B. It cannot reach the real emotional depth. C. It cannot produce technically perfect poems. D. It cannot generate poems with correct rhymes. 10. What is the potential benefit of AI poets? A. It can analyze traditional poetry. B. It can ensure the quality of poetry. C. It can help more people create poetry. D. It can quickly evaluate human poetry. 11. What is the author’s overall attitude toward AI poets? A. Fairly objective. B. Entirely positive. C. Quite negative. D. Highly critical. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人工智能（AI）在诗歌创作领域的应用，以及AI诗歌与人类诗歌的对比和AI诗歌的潜在益处。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“AI poets are computer programs designed to generate poems, modeled after the style, rhythm, and even some emotional aspects of human works.(AI诗人是计算机程序，旨在模仿人类作品的风格、节奏甚至某些情感方面来创作诗歌)”可知，AI诗人的主要功能是根据人类诗歌创作诗歌。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“While it can produce technically perfect poems, it lacks the lived experiences and subjective feelings that give human poetry its quality of being true.(虽然它能创作出技术上完美的诗歌，但它缺乏人类诗歌所具有的真实品质的生活经验和主观感受)”以及第四段中“AI-generated poems, despite their technical complexity, often fail to achieve this emotional reflection.(尽管AI生成的诗歌在技术上很复杂，但往往无法达到这种情感反映)”可知，与人类诗歌相比，AI生成的诗歌的一个主要局限性是它无法达到真正的情感深度。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Supporters of AI poets claim that it can popularize the art form, making poetry creation accessible to anyone with a computer.(AI诗人的支持者声称，它可以普及这种艺术形式，让任何有电脑的人都能创作诗歌。)”可知，AI诗人的潜在益处是它可以帮助更多的人创作诗歌。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，文章介绍了AI诗人的主要功能，与人类诗歌相比AI生成的诗歌的局限性，AI诗人的潜在益处等，作者对AI诗人的态度是相当客观的。故选A。 D In case you haven’t heard the methane (甲烷) in cow burps (打嗝) is a major source of greenhouse gases. There may be a new way of addressing that problem, however, as a recent study shows that feeding cows clay (黏土) reduces their methane emissions by over 30%. Cows produce methane as a byproduct of digesting their high-fibre diet, and burp the gas out on a continuous basis. According to the United Nations Environment Programme, that burped-out methane — from cows and other animals kept on farms—makes up about 40% of total global methane emissions and can contribute about 25 times more to global warming than carbon dioxide. In order to reduce the methane in cow burps, scientists have experimented with cattle feed additives (a substance which is added in small amounts to foods) such as fish oil, seaweed, and even baby kangaroo poop. Now, clay is showing auspicious results. In a study conducted by Dr. Bhaba Biswas and colleagues at Australia’s University of Newcastle, it was found that adding a highly-processed form of the natural clay to regular cattle feed reduced the animals’ methane emissions by more than 30% over a 24-hour period. According to Biswas, the clay limits the activity of gut microbes (肠道微生物) which produce the methane. The material appears to be harmless to the cattle — after all, they regularly take in soil when farming — and in fact could even have health benefits such as reduced the degree of containing acid in guts. It is ultimately passed with the wastes. The additives certainly don’t solve the whole problem. More research still needs to be conducted. But methane-cutting additives increasingly look like a promising way to solve a big part of a very big problem. It is hoped that the highly-processed clay could eventually be sold in the form of inexpensive feeding products. 12. Why is methane in cow burps considered a serious issue? A. It is as harmful as carbon dioxide. B. It is the only source of greenhouse gases. C. It is likely to speed up the global warming. D. It is hard to control the frequency of cow burps. 13. What does the underlined word “auspicious” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Opposite. B. Promising. C. Undesirable. D. Mixed. 14. How does the clay reduce the methane emissions in cattle? A. By improving the nutrition absorption. B. By replacing methane with other gases. C. By effectively killing more gut microbes. D. By lowering the activity of gut microbes. 15. What is the best title of the text? A. Clay Reduces Methane in Cow Burps B. The Environmental Impact of Cow Burps C. The Role of Methane in Global Warming D. Innovative Solutions for Livestock Farming 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了黏土可以减少奶牛打嗝产生的甲烷排放。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“According to the United Nations Environment Programme, that burped-out methane — from cows and other animals kept on farms—makes up about 40% of total global methane emissions and can contribute about 25 times more to global warming than carbon dioxide. (根据联合国环境规划署的数据，农场饲养的奶牛和其他动物打嗝产生的甲烷约占全球甲烷排放总量的40%，对全球变暖的贡献率是二氧化碳的25倍左右。)”可知，奶牛打嗝产生的甲烷被认为是一个严重的问题是因为它可能会加速全球变暖。故选C。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“In order to reduce the methane in cow burps, scientists have experimented with cattle feed additives (a substance which is added in small amounts to foods) such as fish oil, seaweed, and even baby kangaroo poop. Now, clay is showing auspicious results. (为了减少奶牛打嗝产生的甲烷，科学家们尝试在牛饲料中添加添加剂（一种少量添加到食物中的物质），如鱼油、海藻，甚至小袋鼠的粪便。现在，黏土显示出了auspicious结果。)”以及第四段“In a study conducted by Dr. Bhaba Biswas and colleagues at Australia’s University of Newcastle, it was found that adding a highly-processed form of the natural clay to regular cattle feed reduced the animals’ methane emissions by more than 30% over a 24-hour period. (在澳大利亚纽卡斯尔大学的巴巴・比斯瓦斯博士及其同事所进行的一项研究中，他们发现，在普通的牛饲料中添加一种经过高度加工的天然黏土，在 24 小时内，能使这些动物的甲烷排放量减少 30% 以上。)”可知，黏土在减少奶牛甲烷排放方面显示出了“令人乐观的，有希望的”结果，auspicious意为“令人乐观的，有希望的”。与Promising意思相符。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“According to Biswas, the clay limits the activity of gut microbes (肠道微生物) which produce the methane. (根据Biswas的说法，这种黏土会限制产生甲烷的肠道微生物的活动。)”可知，黏土通过降低肠道微生物的活性来减少奶牛的甲烷排放。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“In case you haven’t heard, the methane (甲烷) in cow burps (打嗝) is a major source of greenhouse gases. There may be a new way of addressing that problem, however, as a recent study shows that feeding cows clay (黏土) reduces their methane emissions by over 30%. (你可能还没听说过，奶牛打嗝产生的甲烷是温室气体的主要来源。然而，最近的一项研究表明，给奶牛喂食黏土可以减少30%以上的甲烷排放，这可能是一种解决这个问题的新方法。)”可知，文章主要说明了最近的一项研究表明，给奶牛喂食黏土可以减少30%以上的甲烷排放，介绍了其工作原理和前景。可知，A选项“Clay Reduces Methane in Cow Burps (黏土可以减少奶牛打嗝产生的甲烷)”最符合文章标题。故选A。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Studying abroad opens your horizons and allows you to stand out from the crowd when applying for jobs with future employers.

The town was famous for its beautiful beaches, but recently, it had been suffering from severe pollution due to the large amount of plastic waste washed up on the shore. On the first day of the camp, the instructor, Mr. Green, took them to the beach. What they saw was shocking. The once-clean sand was covered with all kinds of plastic items, from bottles and bags to broken toys. “This is the result of our inappropriate use of plastic,” Mr. Green said seriously. “Our goal this week is to clean up this beach and raise people’s awareness of environmental protection.” The students immediately got to work. They divided into several groups, each equipped with gloves and large trash bags. Lily and her group were responsible for the northern part of the beach. As they picked up the plastic waste, they were disappointed by the amount of it. “How could people be so irresponsible?” Lily complained angrily. Tom, who was in the same group, sighed, “It seems like an endless task, but we have to do something.” After hours of hard work, they managed to fill dozens of trash bags. However, they knew that this was just a solution for a short time, not permanent. They needed to find a more effective way to prevent the plastic pollution. That evening, they had a group discussion. Everyone shared their ideas. Jack suggested organizing a community-wide campaign to encourage people to reduce plastic use. Some students thought it was a good idea, but others were worried that it might not attract enough attention. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Just then, Lily had an inspiration. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The campaign turned out to be a huge success. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Just then, Lily had an inspiration. “Why not use social media?” she said passionately. “We can create short and eye-catching videos about the beach pollution and our cleaning efforts. Then post them on platforms like TikTok. With the power of the Internet, we can reach a much wider audience.” The others were immediately excited about the idea. They spent the next few days filming the videos and appealing to people to take action. Tom, who was good at video editing, worked day and night to make the videos as attractive as possible. The campaign turned out to be a huge success. Once the videos were uploaded, they went viral within a few days. Many people liked and shared them. The residents were deeply touched and decided to join the fight. Some businesses started to provide eco-friendly alternatives to plastic products. The students were overjoyed to see their small actions making such a big difference. They realized that with determination and creativity, they could contribute to protecting the environment. 【解析】 【导语】本文以事件发展为线索展开，讲述了一群高中生参加环保营地活动，在清理被塑料污染的海滩后，意识到需要寻找更有效的防止塑料污染的方法，进而引发了后续的讨论和行动。 【详解】段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在这时，莉莉有了一个灵感。”可知，第一段可描写莉莉提出利用社交媒体开展环保宣传活动的想法，以及大家围绕这个想法进行的具体行动。 ②由第二段首句内容“这次活动取得了巨大的成功。”可知，第二段可描写活动成功后带来的积极影响，包括居民和商家的改变，以及学生们的感受和收获。 续写线索：莉莉提出灵感 —— 利用社交媒体制作视频 —— 大家积极行动 —— 视频上传 —— 活动成功 —— 居民和商家响应 —— 学生收获感悟 词汇激活 行为类 使用：use /employ 制作：make /create 看见：see /catch sight of 情绪类 兴奋的：excited/thrilled 高兴的：overjoyed/delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1] With the power of the Internet, we can reach a much wider audience.（使用介词短语作伴随状语） [高分句型2] Tom, who was good at video editing, worked day and night to make the videos as attractive as possible.（使用了关系代词who引导的定语从句，先行词为Tom） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年高二下学期 英语期中考试试题 考生注意： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B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。 考试时间为120分钟，满分150分 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) 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.

Conference four registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) share their journey, love for nutrition and their community impact. Jessica Crandall Snyder Snyder Jessica Crandall Snyder grew up in the mid-west and always had an interest in nutrition, which was inspired by her mother’s struggle with weight. She initially pursued a career in journalism, but her passion for the field continued to grow, leading her to switch to a career as an RDN. Today, she serves as a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Sharon Smalling Sharon Smalling has always been an athlete. In college, she discovered the crucial role of nutrition in peak performance, which inspired her to pursue a degree in Nutrition and Dietetics. Now, she works as an RDN to create nutrition education programs for inner-city children. She aims to enable children to make healthy choices. Christy Wilson Christy Wilson’s struggles with an eating disorder in college led her to pursue nutrition as a way to keep good physical condition. Her passion for the field led her to become an RDN and she now works as a dietitian for a treatment center that educates people with eating disorders on how to develop a healthy relationship with food. Sylvia Klinger Sylvia Klinger grew up in Colombia and had been exposed to a diverse range of fresh fruits and vegetables that led her to develop a deep passion for food and nutrition.

B “Living out of a suitcase” means you can fit your life into just a few bags and you don’t own or rent a long-term apartment. Essentially, you’re a nomad (流浪者). When I was fourteen years old, my mom had the idea of dropping everything to travel the world and create a closer connection between family members. Although I absolutely loved the idea, I couldn’t imagine leaving my friends, school, and all my “stuff” behind to travel the world full-time with my family. To my surprise, during the travel, we have learned the most important moments are when we live happy moments with our family and friends. As we travel, we barely carry anything with us except the essential things like clothes, a laptop, notebooks, and toiletries (洗漱用品). We each carry a backpack and all five of us share two suitcases for clothes. After buying new souvenirs or new clothes, we give some of our old outfits away to people in need and it makes us so happy to be able to give back wherever we can. At the beginning, it was difficult for us to get used to never having a closet (衣橱), constantly changing hotel rooms, and never fully unpacking before we were back on the road. But over time we have learned to appreciate the value of having less — the freedom to live for experiences and the joy of traveling “light” in mind, body, and spirit. Many of the wonderful new friends we have made on our journey have opened our eyes to how lucky we are. We have met families in many parts of the world who live in small homes with no running water, yet they always have huge smiles and are willing to share with us. We now know that experiences and memories are the most valuable things in life and that they can only be acquired when we let go of our need for possessions and focus on what really matters in life — enjoying our lives each day with the people we love. 4. Why did the author’s mom decide to travel the world? A. To build stronger family bonds. B. To escape their current life. C. To enrich their travel experiences. D. To ease the work pressure. 5. What was the author’s initial feeling about the idea of traveling the world? A. Annoyed and fearful. B. Confused but hopeful. C. Pleased and excited. D. Interested but doubtful. 6. What did the family do with their old clothes after acquiring new ones? A. They directly threw them away. B. They kept them as souvenirs. C. They donated them to people in need. D. They exchanged them with local residents. 7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. We should let go of every single possession. B. Material wealth and possessions bring happiness. C. Material possessions should not be our ultimate goal. D The family used to place too much emphasis on wealth. C The intersection of art and technology has always fascinated humanity. Nowhere is this more evident than in the world of poetry, where artificial intelligence (AI) is starting to make significant steps. AI poets are computer programs designed to generate poems, modeled after the style, rhythm, and even some emotional aspects of human works. AI has the ability to analyze vast databases of existing poems, identifying patterns in language, rhyme structures. Using machine-learning patterns, some AI poets can generate new lines of poetry. However, a fundamental question remains: can AI-generated poetry truly replace the creative wisdom of human-made poetry? Human poets draw on a lifetime of experiences, emotions, and cultural contexts to create their works. They use language not just as a means of communication but as a way to express the indescribable. In contrast, AI operates based on data and pattern. While it can produce technically perfect poems, it lacks the lived experiences and subjective feelings that give human poetry its quality of being true. Poetry critics often point out that the best poems are those that resonate (共鸣) with readers, challenging their perspectives and bringing strong feelings. AI-generated poems, despite their technical complexity, often fail to achieve this emotional reflection. For instance, a human poem about love may capture the pain and joy of romantic relationships while an AI-generated poem on the same topic may seem lacking individual personality and imagination. Supporters of AI poets claim that it can popularize the art form, making poetry creation accessible to anyone with a computer. AI could inspire a new generation of poets. Additionally, AI can introduce novel combinations of words and ideas, expanding the boundaries of what is considered poetry. As the debate continues, the AI in poetry forces us to re-evaluate our understanding of creativity, art, and the human experience and challenges us to consider what makes a poem truly great. 8. What is the primary function of AI poets according to the passage? A. To boost human poets’ creativity. B. To teach people how to write poetry. C. To analyze problems of existing poems. D. To create poems based on human poetry. 9. What is a major limitation of AI-generated poetry compared to human poetry? A. It cannot identify patterns in language. B. It cannot reach the real emotional depth. C. It cannot produce technically perfect poems. D. It cannot generate poems with correct rhymes. 10. What is the potential benefit of AI poets? A. It can analyze traditional poetry. B. It can ensure the quality of poetry. C. It can help more people create poetry. D. It can quickly evaluate human poetry. 11. What is the author’s overall attitude toward AI poets? A. Fairly objective. B. Entirely positive. C. Quite negative. D. Highly critical. D In case you haven’t heard, the methane (甲烷) in cow burps (打嗝) is a major source of greenhouse gases. There may be a new way of addressing that problem, however, as a recent study shows that feeding cows clay (黏土) reduces their methane emissions by over 30%. Cows produce methane as a byproduct of digesting their high-fibre diet, and burp the gas out on a continuous basis. According to the United Nations Environment Programme, that burped-out methane — from cows and other animals kept on farms—makes up about 40% of total global methane emissions and can contribute about 25 times more to global warming than carbon dioxide. In order to reduce the methane in cow burps, scientists have experimented with cattle feed additives (a substance which is added in small amounts to foods) such as fish oil, seaweed, and even baby kangaroo poop. Now, clay is showing auspicious results. In a study conducted by Dr. Bhaba Biswas and colleagues at Australia’s University of Newcastle, it was found that adding a highly-processed form of the natural clay to regular cattle feed reduced the animals’ methane emissions by more than 30% over a 24-hour period. According to Biswas, the clay limits the activity of gut microbes (肠道微生物) which produce the methane. The material appears to be harmless to the cattle — after all, they regularly take in soil when farming — and in fact could even have health benefits such as reduced the degree of containing acid in guts. It is ultimately passed with the wastes. The additives certainly don’t solve the whole problem. More research still needs to be conducted.

The town was famous for its beautiful beaches, but recently, it had been suffering from severe pollution due to the large amount of plastic waste washed up on the shore. On the first day of the camp, the instructor, Mr. Green, took them to the beach. What they saw was shocking. The once-clean sand was covered with all kinds of plastic items, from bottles and bags to broken toys. “This is the result of our inappropriate use of plastic,” Mr. Green said seriously. “Our goal this week is to clean up this beach and raise people’s awareness of environmental protection.” The students immediately got to work. They divided into several groups, each equipped with gloves and large trash bags. Lily and her group were responsible for the northern part of the beach. As they picked up the plastic waste, they were disappointed by the amount of it. “How could people be so irresponsible?” Lily complained angrily. Tom, who was in the same group, sighed, “It seems like an endless task, but we have to do something.” After hours of hard work, they managed to fill dozens of trash bags. However, they knew that this was just a solution for a short time, not permanent. They needed to find a more effective way to prevent the plastic pollution. That evening, they had a group discussion. Everyone shared their ideas. Jack suggested organizing a community-wide campaign to encourage people to reduce plastic use. Some students thought it was a good idea, but others were worried that it might not attract enough attention. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just then, Lily had an inspiration. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The campaign turned out to be a huge success. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
