When he was young, Kadur was fascinated by Jim Corbett’s tales of big cats. Inspired, he once cycled into the jungle with a friend to observe big cats at a watering hole. At night, they really saw a big cat. Bathed in moonlight, he realized his life’s goal: to capture and share nature’s wonders. At 12, he borrowed his father’s camera — a “magic box” that froze time. His father, an entomologist (昆虫学家), got him looking at the small things. So he began intentionally focusing his lens on small insects, trying to understand what he was looking at. He would develop the camera film weeks later, annotating (注释) the settings and reattempting the shots. As he grew older, his love for nature, however, conflicted with academics. Failing high school, he moved to Brownsville, Texas to study hotel management — a choice that unexpectedly refueled his love for storytelling. In Brownsville, Kadur explored Mexico’s cloud forests and landed a job as a jungle tour guide. There, he met filmmaker John Bax, who introduced him to documentary work. When they embarked on a documentary project together, Bax withdrew from it. Kadur, then 19 and untrained in film, pursued the project on his own. He spent three years filming India’s Western Ghats, capturing species like the “smoke cat” for the first time. His debut film, Sahyadris: Mountains of the Monsoon, brought the Western Ghats’ biodiversity into attention, aiding its 2012 UNESCO World Heritage status. Through visual storytelling, Kadur offers his audiences glimpses into a rarely-seen natural world, urging them to protect its delicate inhabitants. “Visual art has conveyed stories for millennia. Now we’re doing that with technology, and it will continue to advance,” said Kadur. “I think the impact of storytelling can last a lifetime. It can last generations.” 4. What sparked Kadur’s love for nature? A. Fondness of filming. B. Love for cycling. C. Curiosity about wildlife. D. Interest in cat-themed tales. 5. What stopped him from chasing his dream earlier? A. His father’s disapproval. B. His academic failure. C. A shifted passion. D. An equipment shortage. 6. Why did Kadur continue the documentary project alone after John Bax withdrew? A. He lacked other job opportunities then. B. He desired to prove his competence. C. He intended to be famous by shooting. D. He resolved to reveal the natural wonders. 7. According to Kadur, why is visual storytelling crucial for environmental protection? A. It has lasted for several generations. B. It is more engaging than other forms. C. It has improved a lot because of technology. D. It creates emotional bonds and inspires action. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了国家地理探险家桑德什·卡杜尔25年来记录珍稀野生动物、致力于保护地球脆弱生态系统的经历与贡献。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“When he was young, Kadur was fascinated by Jim Corbett’s tales of big cats. (年轻时，卡杜尔就被吉姆·科贝特关于大型猫科动物的故事深深吸引。)”可知，卡杜尔对猫科动物主题故事的喜爱激发了他对自然的热爱。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“As he grew older, his love for nature, however, conflicted with academics. Failing high school, he moved to Brownsville, Texas to study hotel management — a choice that unexpectedly refueled his love for storytelling. (然而，随着年龄的增长，他对自然的热爱与学业产生了冲突。高中没毕业，他搬到了德克萨斯州的布朗斯维尔学习酒店管理——这个选择意外地重新点燃了他对讲故事的热爱。)”可知，学业失败曾一度阻碍他追求梦想。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“When they embarked on a documentary project together, Bax withdrew from it. Kadur, then 19 and untrained in film, pursued the project on his own. He spent three years filming India’s Western Ghats, capturing species like the ‘smoke cat’ for the first time. His debut film, Sahyadris: Mountains of the Monsoon, brought the Western Ghats’ biodiversity into attention, aiding its 2012 UNESCO World Heritage status. (当他们一起着手一个纪录片项目时，巴克斯退出了。当时年仅19岁且未接受过电影制作培训的卡杜尔独自继续推进这个项目。他花了三年时间拍摄印度的西高止山脉，首次捕捉到了“smoke cat”等物种。他的处女作《萨亚德里：季风之山》使西高止山脉的生物多样性受到关注，并助力其于2012年被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产。)”可知，卡杜尔独自完成项目是为了展现自然奇观。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Through visual storytelling, Kadur offers his audiences glimpses into a rarely-seen natural world, urging them to protect its delicate inhabitants. “Visual art has conveyed stories for millennia. Now we’re doing that with technology, and it will continue to advance,” said Kadur. “I think the impact of storytelling can last a lifetime. It can last generations.” (通过视觉叙事，卡杜尔让观众得以一窥鲜为人知的自然世界，敦促他们保护其中脆弱的生物。“视觉艺术千百年来一直在讲述故事。现在我们用科技来实现这一点，而且它将继续进步，”卡杜尔说。“我认为讲故事的影响可以持续一生。它可以延续几代人。”)”可知，卡杜尔认为视觉叙事能建立情感纽带并激发行动，从而推动环境保护。故选D。 C The healthcare sector is undergoing a digital revolution, with artificial intelligence (AI) becoming an essential tool in clinical practice. The integration of AI into medical diagnosis has sparked heated debates among practitioners. The efficiency of AI is unquestionable. Recent studies reveal AI systems can process 10,000 patient records in 2.7 seconds, outperforming humans in detecting rare diseases. A 2022 Johns Hopkins study confirmed radiologists spend 15 minutes per scan analysis, while AI processes 100 scans in under 3 minutes. Johns Hopkins Hospital reported a 34% increase in early cancer detection rates after adopting AI-assisted imaging analysis. While supporters highlight its efficiency in analyzing complex data, critics warn of over-reliance on algorithmic (算法) judgment that may weaken human expertise. A 2024 Lancet survey found 62% of physicians feel pressured to follow AI recommendations even when contradicting their clinical experience. Beyond clinical pressures, ethical concerns emerge as AI algorithms mostly trained on Western medical data demonstrate 18% lower accuracy in diagnosing Asian and African populations. A 2021 Kenya Medical Research Institute study showed AI’s tuberculosis (a kind of lung disease) detection sensitivity was 9% lower for African patients versus Western cohorts. This “algorithmic bias” worsens healthcare inequality, particularly in developing nations. Still, the same technology helps rural clinics through telemedicine platforms, bridging urban-rural medical resource gaps. Governments and health groups now face the urgent task of establishing validation frameworks. The WHO’s 2025 draft guidelines propose “AI transparency protocols” requiring developers to reveal training data sources and decision-making logic. The EU’s 2024 AI Act mandates (授权) human override functions for medical AI, supporting these efforts. Finding this balance will determine whether AI becomes a trusted assistant or an uncontrollable force in global healthcare systems. 8. How does the author primarily illustrate the advantage of AI in medical area? A. By setting an example. B. By comparison. C. By listing figures. D. By giving a definition. 9. Why does the author mention the 2024 Lancet survey in paragraph 3? A. To prove the incapability of human doctors. B. To highlight doctors’ over-reliance on AI. C. To show the inaccuracy of AI diagnosis. D. To prove AI performs better than humans. 10. How does AI technology affect the medical healthcare of rural areas? A. It enlarges healthcare inequality. B. It narrows medical resource gap. C It causes moral-issue concerns. D. It has replaced human doctors. 11. What do the underlined words “this balance” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Effective supervision. B. Potential threat. C. Common ground. D. Underlying reason. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕人工智能在医疗诊断中的应用展开讨论，通过列举相关研究数据和实例，分析了人工智能在医疗领域应用的利弊，并指出政府和相关组织需要建立验证框架来平衡其发展。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Recent studies reveal AI systems can process 10,000 patient records in 2.7 seconds, outperforming humans in detecting rare diseases.(最近研究表明，人工智能系统可以在2.7秒内处理1万份患者记录，在检测罕见疾病方面优于人类。)”以及“Johns Hopkins Hospital reported a 34% increase in early cancer detection rates after adopting AI-assisted imaging analysis. (约翰霍普金斯医院报告说，采用人工智能辅助成像分析后，早期癌症检出率提高了34%。)”可推知，作者通过列数字的方法阐明AI在数据处理方面的优势。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“A 2024 Lancet survey found 62% of physicians feel pressured to follow AI recommendations even when contradicting their clinical experience. (2024年《柳叶刀》的一项调查发现，62%的医生在遵循人工智能的建议时感到有压力，即使这与他们的临床经验相矛盾。)”可知，医生在AI建议与临床经验相矛盾时去遵循AI的建议感到有压力。由此可推知，作者提到2024 Lancet survey是为了强调医生对AI的过度依赖。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Still, the same technology helps rural clinics through telemedicine platforms, bridging urban-rural medical resource gaps. (然而，同样的技术通过远程医疗平台帮助农村诊所，弥合城乡医疗资源差距。)”可知，AI技术通过远程医疗平台帮助农村诊所，缩小了城乡医疗资源的差距。故选B。 【11题详解】 词义猜测题。根据最后一段“Governments and health groups now face the urgent task of establishing validation frameworks. The WHO’s 2025 draft guidelines propose “AI transparency protocols” requiring developers to reveal training data sources and decision-making logic. (各国政府和卫生组织现在面临着建立验证框架的紧迫任务。世卫组织2025年指南草案提出了“人工智能透明度协议”，要求开发人员披露培训数据源和决策逻辑。)”及最后一句“Finding this balance will determine whether AI becomes a trusted assistant or an uncontrollable force in global healthcare systems.(能否找到这种平衡，将决定人工智能在全球医疗系统中会成为值得信赖的助手，还是一股难以控制的力量。)”可推知，“这种平衡”指在利用AI技术的同时，如何通过有效的监管和验证框架来避免其潜在的负面影响。所以画线短语this balance指的是“有效的监管”。故选A。 D Glass might soon meet a surprising competitor: bamboo. Scientists in China have transformed regular bamboo into a see-through material that keeps out fire and water and reduces smoke, providing an environmentally friendly replacement for traditional glass made from sand. While glass is still widely used in buildings for its clearness, its tendency to break easily, heavy weight and environmental impact have pushed researchers to look for other materials like clear wood — and now bamboo. Clear wood, made by removing a natural substance called lignin (木质素) and adding plastic-like materials, has been seen as a good renewable option. It is lighter than glass and better at keeping heat out. However, its tendency to catch fire and the slow growth rate of trees make it hard to produce in large amounts: To solve this, researchers at Central South University of Forestry and Technology focused on bamboo, which grows fully in 4-7 years and produces four times more material per farm area compared to trees. The team applied the methods developed for making wood see-through to bamboo, which has a similar chemical makeup. Specifically, by removing linger, which makes plants look solid, and filling the bamboo fibers with a glass-like liquid called sodium silicate, they changed how light passes through the material, achieving 71.6% clearness. A final water-blocking treatment created three layers: a protective outer coating, a middle layer of silicon dioxide (a common glass ingredient), and a base layer of sodium silicate. The final material showed impressive strength, outshining many common plastics. Importantly, the clear bamboo showed special fire safety features. Unlike wood-based materials, it didn’t catch fire easily, blocked water, and stopped dangerous smoke and gases from spreading — key benefits for building use. When tested as a base for advanced solar cells, it helped control light better, increasing energy production by 15.29%. This double role suggests it could be used in smart buildings that use sunlight for lighting while creating clean energy. While making this material in large amounts still needs work, this discovery supports environmental goals. 12. Which of the following is one of the reasons for researchers to replace the current widely used glass? A. It’s not clear enough. B. It harms the environment. C. Its cost is too high. D. It catches fair easily. 13. What features of bamboo makes it a suitable choice for making clear glass? A. Its lighter weight. B. Its clearness. C. Its tall height. D. Its high yield. 14. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The production process of the new material. B. The superb advantages of the new material. C. The outstanding features of bamboo. D. The biological construction of bamboo. 15. What can be inferred about the clear bamboo from the last paragraph? A. It has a bright future in smart buildings. B. It has been produced in large amounts. C. It may serve as a kind of clean energy. D. It can clear off the poisonous smoke. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国科学家研发的一种透明竹材料，该材料具有防火防水、减少烟雾等特性，有望成为传统玻璃的环保替代品。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“While glass is still widely used in buildings for its clearness, its tendency to break easily, heavy weight and environmental impact have pushed researchers to look for other materials like clear wood — and now bamboo. (虽然玻璃因其清洁性仍被广泛用于建筑中，但它容易破碎、重量大以及对环境的影响促使研究人员寻找其他材料，比如透明木材——现在是竹子。)”可知，传统玻璃存在易碎、重量大和环境危害等问题。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“To solve this, researchers at Central South University of Forestry and Technology focused on bamboo, which grows fully in 4-7 years and produces four times more material per farm area compared to trees. (为了解决这个问题，中南林业科技大学的研究人员把重点放在竹子上，竹子在4-7年内生长完全，每个农场生产的材料是树木的四倍。)”可知，竹子生长周期短且单位面积产量高，所以适合作为制作透明玻璃的理想材料。故选D。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Specifically, by removing linger, which makes plants look solid, and filling the bamboo fibers with a glass-like liquid called sodium silicate, they changed how light passes through the material, achieving 71.6% clearness. A final water-blocking treatment created three layers: a protective outer coating, a middle layer of silicon dioxide (a common glass ingredient), and a base layer of sodium silicate. (具体来说，通过去除使植物看起来坚硬的黏液，并在竹纤维中填充一种叫做硅酸钠的玻璃状液体，他们改变了光线通过材料的方式，达到了71.6%的清晰度。最后的阻水处理形成了三层：外层保护层、中间层二氧化硅（一种常见的玻璃成分）和底层硅酸钠。)”可推知，本段主要介绍了透明竹材的制作过程。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“This double role suggests it could be used in smart buildings that use sunlight for lighting while creating clean energy. (这种双重作用表明，它可以用于智能建筑，在使用阳光照明的同时创造清洁能源。)”可推知，透明竹材在智能建筑中具有应用潜力。故选A。 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。 Wealth starts with a goal of saving a dollar at a time. ____16____ There are lessons in that time-honored coin-savings container. ____17____ If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion, to collect the $15,000 cost, you have to save $3.93 a day. If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1,434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after-tax, you will have your trip money. When I was a child, my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that, if I wanted something, I should save money to buy it. We associate piggy banks with children, but in many countries, the little containers are also popular with adults. Around the world, many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year’s Day brings good luck and financial success. ____18____ Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving? ____19____ In medieval Europe people stored coins in simple jars made from “pygg”, a cheap orange clay. The word sounded like “pigge” (Middle English for pig). Over centuries, as the clay’s name faded, potters began shaping the jars like pigs. This clever wordplay created the beloved piggy bank — turning a practical savings tool into a charming tradition that endures today. The original piggy bank taught a powerful lesson — you had to break it to get your money out. ____20____ While piggy banks teach kids the value of saving, many adults need to remember these simple lessons. Just like dropping coins into a piggy bank, every big financial goal starts with small, regular steps. Whether it’s for education, a house, or your dream vacation — saving just 10% of what you earn is how you turn maybe someday into reality. A. Call it the piggy bank strategy. B. Saving money is equal to earning money. C. Ah, yes, but you have to put something in it. D. This made saving feel serious and important. E. Why people all over the world like pigs so much? F. Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps. G. Why not an elephant bank, which is bigger and holds more coins? 【答案】16. A 17. F 18. C 19. G 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了财富始于每次存一美元的目标，即存钱罐策略。 【16题详解】 上文提到“Wealth starts with a goal of saving a dollar at a time.(财富始于一次节省一美元的目标。)”，后文又提到“There are lessons in that time-honored coin-savings container. (在这个历史悠久的储蓄罐里有很多教训。)”，A选项“Call it the piggy bank strategy.(可以称之为“存钱罐策略”。)”中的“it”指代上文的储蓄策略，且引出了下文关于存钱罐的内容，起到了承上启下的作用。故选A。 【17题详解】 根据下文“If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion, to collect the $15,000cost, you have to save $3.93 a day. (如果你想在10年后的一个特殊场合进行一次真正美好的旅行，为了收集15,000美元的费用，你必须每天节省3.93美元。)”可知，是将一个大的目标（旅行费用）分解成每天的小步骤（每天存$3.93），F选项“Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps.(任何艰巨的任务在被分解成小步时似乎都更容易。)”表达了将大任务分解成小步骤会更容易的意思，与下文内容相符。故选F。 【18题详解】 上文提到“Around the world, many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year’s Day brings good luck and financial success. (在世界各地，许多人相信在新年第一天收到储蓄罐的礼物会带来好运和经济上的成功。)”，C选项“Ah, yes, but you have to put something in it.(啊，是的，但是你必须在里面放些东西。)”在肯定上文观点的同时，指出要往存钱罐里放东西，进一步说明了存钱罐带来好运和成功的前提，逻辑连贯。故选C。 【19题详解】 上文“Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving? (为什么猪被用作拯救的象征？)”是在问为什么猪被用作储蓄的象征，G选项“Why not an elephant bank, which is bigger and holds more coins?(为什么不造一个更大、存放更多硬币的大象储钱罐呢？)”通过反问，进一步探讨储蓄象征的问题，与上文形成呼应。故选G。 【20题详解】 上文提到“The original piggy bank taught a powerful lesson — you had to break it to get your money out. (最初的储蓄罐给我们上了一堂强有力的课——你必须打碎它才能把钱取出来。)”，D选项“This made saving feel serious and important.(这使得储蓄变得严肃和重要。)”中的“This”指代上文打破存钱罐才能取出钱这一行为，说明了这种方式让储蓄显得严肃和重要，与上文逻辑一致。故选D。 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Jane operates a busy clinic.

His parents were illiterate and he had little interest in school. Labeled as the “bad boy of the village”, he spent his days playing in the fields and helping his parents with their cashew farm. The rich smell of cashew apples filled the air, and he would often sit with his grandmother in the evenings, roasting cashew kernels over a fire. Despite the beauty of his surroundings, Parashram’s future seemed gloomy: most of the villagers believed he would end up like countless others, working the land with no future beyond farming. But Parashram’s mother had other hopes. Knowing that education was the key to a better life, she forced him to go to school every day. Her persistence eventually paid off. When he reached class 12, Parashram had a moment of realisation. He saw the disappointment in his parents’ eyes and the lack of respect he received from others. He knew he had to change. Parashram worked hard to complete his high school classes. Despite his poor grades and financial difficulties, he decided to apply for higher studies in a university. The odds were against him, but he took a chance. Weeks went by with no news and he almost gave up hope. Then, on the last day of admission, he made one last visit to the university to see for himself. To his surprise, he found his name on the list. He had been accepted, but he still had to pay his fees. With no money and no one to turn to, he was on the verge of tears when an office boy noticed him and encouraged him to speak to the head of the department. Dr. Patil, the head of the department, listened to Parashram’s story. When he heard that Parashram was from Gudewadi, he immediately understood the challenges he had faced, for Dr. Patil himself was also from the same area. He paid Parashram’s admission fee on the spot, an act of kindness that changed Parashram’s life forever. 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。 At university, surrounded by ambitious peers, he embraced learning and decided to pursue a PhD. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now Parashram’s research on cashew receives global recognition. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】At university, surrounded by ambitious peers, he embraced learning and decided to pursue a PhD. He chose to focus his research on cashew farming, a subject close to his heart. He always remembered sitting with his grandmother roasting cashew nuts. Cashew farming was the main source of income for the villagers, but cashew farmers faced many difficulties. He wanted to improve their lives and find better solutions for production. He put all his energy into it. After facing countless challenges, from financial hardship to failed experiments, his persistent research eventually led to breakthroughs. Now Parashram’s research on cashew receives global recognition. His work has not only brought him personal success, but has also helped the farmers in his village. When he shared his achievements with his parents, their pride was immense. The boy once labeled a “bad boy” had become a symbol of hope and determination. Reflecting on his journey, Parashram can’t help but express great respect and gratitude to his mother and Dr. Patil, without whose perseverance and generous help he would not be where he is today. His story is also a testament to the power of education and perseverance in the face of adversity. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Parashram Patil从被贴上“坏孩子”标签的农村少年，到通过教育逆袭成为全球认可的科研工作者的励志历程。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在大学里，周围都是雄心勃勃的同学，Parashram全身心投入学习，并决定攻读博士学位。”以及第二段首句内容“如今，Parashram在腰果方面的研究获得了全球认可。”可知，第一段可描写Parashram决定研究腰果种植，并取得了突破。 ②由第二段首句内容“如今，Parashram在腰果方面的研究获得了全球认可。”可知，第二段可描写Parashram成为了全村的骄傲，而Parashram也明白了教育的力量。 2.续写线索：Parashram决定全身心投入学习——他将研究重点放在了腰果的种植上——因为腰果种植是村民们的主要收入来源，然而村民们却面临着许多困难——Parashram坚持不懈的努力终于取得了突破——如今，Parashram的研究获得了全球认可——他的研究不仅为他个人带来了成功，也帮助了村里的农民——所有人都为他感到自豪——回忆过往，Parashram明白了教育的力量和在逆境中坚持不懈的意义 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①专注于：focus on/concentrate on ②选择：choose/make a choice ③提高：improve/enhance 情绪类 ①坚持：perseverance/ persistence ②感激：gratitude/thankfulness 【点睛】【高分句型1】When he shared his achievements with his parents, their pride was immense.（运用了when引导的状语从句） 【高分句型2】Reflecting on his journey, Parashram can’t help but express great respect and gratitude to his mother and Dr. Patil, without whose perseverance and generous help he would not be where he is today.（运用了whose引导的定语从句和where引导的表语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025年春季学期高二年级学业水平检测试卷 英语 全卷满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答题前，先将自己的姓名、考号等填写在试题卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 选择题的作答：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，写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 非选择题的作答：用签字笔直接写在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4. 考试结束后，请将本试题卷和答题卡一并上交。 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。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.

B Sandesh Kadur a National Geographic explorer, has spent 25 years documenting rare wildlife, transforming his childhood passion into a mission to protect Earth’s fragile ecosystems. When he was young, Kadur was fascinated by Jim Corbett’s tales of big cats. Inspired, he once cycled into the jungle with a friend to observe big cats at a watering hole. At night, they really saw a big cat. Bathed in moonlight, he realized his life’s goal: to capture and share nature’s wonders. At 12, he borrowed his father’s camera — a “magic box” that froze time. His father, an entomologist (昆虫学家), got him looking at the small things. So he began intentionally focusing his lens on small insects, trying to understand what he was looking at. He would develop the camera film weeks later, annotating (注释) the settings and reattempting the shots. As he grew older, his love for nature, however, conflicted with academics. Failing high school, he moved to Brownsville, Texas to study hotel management — a choice that unexpectedly refueled his love for storytelling. In Brownsville, Kadur explored Mexico’s cloud forests and landed a job as a jungle tour guide. There, he met filmmaker John Bax, who introduced him to documentary work. When they embarked on a documentary project together, Bax withdrew from it. Kadur, then 19 and untrained in film, pursued the project on his own. He spent three years filming India’s Western Ghats, capturing species like the “smoke cat” for the first time. His debut film, Sahyadris: Mountains of the Monsoon, brought the Western Ghats’ biodiversity into attention, aiding its 2012 UNESCO World Heritage status. Through visual storytelling, Kadur offers his audiences glimpses into a rarely-seen natural world, urging them to protect its delicate inhabitants. “Visual art has conveyed stories for millennia. Now we’re doing that with technology, and it will continue to advance,” said Kadur. “I think the impact of storytelling can last a lifetime. It can last generations.” 4. What sparked Kadur’s love for nature? A. Fondness of filming. B. Love for cycling. C. Curiosity about wildlife. D. Interest in cat-themed tales. 5 What stopped him from chasing his dream earlier? A. His father’s disapproval. B. His academic failure. C. A shifted passion. D. An equipment shortage. 6. Why did Kadur continue the documentary project alone after John Bax withdrew? A. He lacked other job opportunities then. B. He desired to prove his competence. C. He intended to be famous by shooting. D. He resolved to reveal the natural wonders. 7. According to Kadur, why is visual storytelling crucial for environmental protection? A. It has lasted for several generations. B. It is more engaging than other forms. C. It has improved a lot because of technology. D. It creates emotional bonds and inspires action. C The healthcare sector is undergoing a digital revolution, with artificial intelligence (AI) becoming an essential tool in clinical practice. The integration of AI into medical diagnosis has sparked heated debates among practitioners. The efficiency of AI is unquestionable. Recent studies reveal AI systems can process 10,000 patient records in 2.7 seconds, outperforming humans in detecting rare diseases. A 2022 Johns Hopkins study confirmed radiologists spend 15 minutes per scan analysis, while AI processes 100 scans in under 3 minutes. Johns Hopkins Hospital reported a 34% increase in early cancer detection rates after adopting AI-assisted imaging analysis. While supporters highlight its efficiency in analyzing complex data, critics warn of over-reliance on algorithmic (算法) judgment that may weaken human expertise. A 2024 Lancet survey found 62% of physicians feel pressured to follow AI recommendations even when contradicting their clinical experience. Beyond clinical pressures, ethical concerns emerge as AI algorithms mostly trained on Western medical data demonstrate 18% lower accuracy in diagnosing Asian and African populations. A 2021 Kenya Medical Research Institute study showed AI’s tuberculosis (a kind of lung disease) detection sensitivity was 9% lower for African patients versus Western cohorts. This “algorithmic bias” worsens healthcare inequality, particularly in developing nations. Still, the same technology helps rural clinics through telemedicine platforms, bridging urban-rural medical resource gaps. Governments and health groups now face the urgent task of establishing validation frameworks. The WHO’s 2025 draft guidelines propose “AI transparency protocols” requiring developers to reveal training data sources and decision-making logic. The EU’s 2024 AI Act mandates (授权) human override functions for medical AI, supporting these efforts. Finding this balance will determine whether AI becomes a trusted assistant or an uncontrollable force in global healthcare systems. 8. How does the author primarily illustrate the advantage of AI in medical area? A. By setting an example. B. By comparison. C. By listing figures. D. By giving a definition. 9. Why does the author mention the 2024 Lancet survey in paragraph 3? A. To prove the incapability of human doctors. B. To highlight doctors’ over-reliance on AI. C. To show the inaccuracy of AI diagnosis. D. To prove AI performs better than humans. 10. How does AI technology affect the medical healthcare of rural areas? A. It enlarges healthcare inequality. B. It narrows medical resource gap. C. It causes moral-issue concerns. D. It has replaced human doctors. 11. What do the underlined words “this balance” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Effective supervision. B. Potential threat. C. Common ground. D. Underlying reason. D Glass might soon meet a surprising competitor: bamboo. Scientists in China have transformed regular bamboo into a see-through material that keeps out fire and water and reduces smoke, providing an environmentally friendly replacement for traditional glass made from sand. While glass is still widely used in buildings for its clearness, its tendency to break easily, heavy weight and environmental impact have pushed researchers to look for other materials like clear wood — and now bamboo. Clear wood, made by removing a natural substance called lignin (木质素) and adding plastic-like materials, has been seen as a good renewable option. It is lighter than glass and better at keeping heat out. However, its tendency to catch fire and the slow growth rate of trees make it hard to produce in large amounts: To solve this, researchers at Central South University of Forestry and Technology focused on bamboo, which grows fully in 4-7 years and produces four times more material per farm area compared to trees. The team applied the methods developed for making wood see-through to bamboo, which has a similar chemical makeup. Specifically, by removing linger, which makes plants look solid, and filling the bamboo fibers with a glass-like liquid called sodium silicate, they changed how light passes through the material, achieving 71.6% clearness. A final water-blocking treatment created three layers: a protective outer coating, a middle layer of silicon dioxide (a common glass ingredient), and a base layer of sodium silicate. The final material showed impressive strength, outshining many common plastics. Importantly, the clear bamboo showed special fire safety features. Unlike wood-based materials, it didn’t catch fire easily, blocked water, and stopped dangerous smoke and gases from spreading — key benefits for building use. When tested as a base for advanced solar cells, it helped control light better, increasing energy production by 15.29%. This double role suggests it could be used in smart buildings that use sunlight for lighting while creating clean energy. While making this material in large amounts still needs work, this discovery supports environmental goals. 12. Which of the following is one of the reasons for researchers to replace the current widely used glass? A. It’s not clear enough. B. It harms the environment. C. Its cost is too high. D. It catches fair easily. 13. What features of bamboo makes it a suitable choice for making clear glass? A. Its lighter weight. B. Its clearness. C. Its tall height. D. Its high yield. 14. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The production process of the new material. B. The superb advantages of the new material. C. The outstanding features of bamboo. D. The biological construction of bamboo. 15. What can be inferred about the clear bamboo from the last paragraph? A. It has a bright future in smart buildings. B. It has been produced in large amounts. C. It may serve as a kind of clean energy. D. It can clear off the poisonous smoke. 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。 Wealth starts with a goal of saving a dollar at a time. ____16____ There are lessons in that time-honored coin-savings container. ____17____ If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion, to collect the $15,000 cost, you have to save $3.93 a day. If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1,434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after-tax, you will have your trip money. When I was a child, my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that, if I wanted something, I should save money to buy it. We associate piggy banks with children, but in many countries, the little containers are also popular with adults. Around the world, many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year’s Day brings good luck and financial success. ____18____ Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving? ____19____ In medieval Europe, people stored coins in simple jars made from “pygg”, a cheap orange clay. The word sounded like “pigge” (Middle English for pig). Over centuries, as the clay’s name faded, potters began shaping the jars like pigs. This clever wordplay created the beloved piggy bank — turning a practical savings tool into a charming tradition that endures today. The original piggy bank taught a powerful lesson — you had to break it to get your money out. ____20____ While piggy banks teach kids the value of saving, many adults need to remember these simple lessons. Just like dropping coins into a piggy bank, every big financial goal starts with small, regular steps. Whether it’s for education, a house, or your dream vacation — saving just 10% of what you earn is how you turn maybe someday into reality. A. Call it the piggy bank strategy. B. Saving money is equal to earning money. C. Ah, yes, but you have to put something in it. D. This made saving feel serious and important. E. Why people all over the world like pigs so much? F. Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps. G. Why not an elephant bank, which is bigger and holds more coins? 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Jane operates a busy clinic.

His parents were illiterate and he had little interest in school. Labeled as the “bad boy of the village”, he spent his days playing in the fields and helping his parents with their cashew farm. The rich smell of cashew apples filled the air, and he would often sit with his grandmother in the evenings, roasting cashew kernels over a fire. Despite the beauty of his surroundings, Parashram’s future seemed gloomy: most of the villagers believed he would end up like countless others, working the land with no future beyond farming. But Parashram’s mother had other hopes. Knowing that education was the key to a better life, she forced him to go to school every day. Her persistence eventually paid off. When he reached class 12, Parashram had a moment of realisation. He saw the disappointment in his parents’ eyes and the lack of respect he received from others. He knew he had to change. Parashram worked hard to complete his high school classes. Despite his poor grades and financial difficulties, he decided to apply for higher studies in a university. The odds were against him, but he took a chance. Weeks went by with no news and he almost gave up hope. Then, on the last day of admission, he made one last visit to the university to see for himself. To his surprise, he found his name on the list. He had been accepted, but he still had to pay his fees. With no money and no one to turn to, he was on the verge of tears when an office boy noticed him and encouraged him to speak to the head of the department. Dr. Patil, the head of the department, listened to Parashram’s story. When he heard that Parashram was from Gudewadi, he immediately understood the challenges he had faced, for Dr. Patil himself was also from the same area. He paid Parashram’s admission fee on the spot, an act of kindness that changed Parashram’s life forever. 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。 At university, surrounded by ambitious peers, he embraced learning and decided to pursue a PhD. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now Parashram’s research on cashew receives global recognition. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
