The funds will be used for projects like adding sand to broken beaches,protecting coral reefs,and removing wildfire-fueling grasses.Josh Green,who supports the bill,believes that the tax will help prevent future disasters like the Maui wildfire,which caused a 13 billion loss and claimed 102 lives.He argues that Hawaii's 10 million annual visitors should contribute to protecting the environment. Jerry Gibson,president of the Hawaii Hotel Alliance,said the hotel industry was pleased Hawaii didn't adopt a higher increase that was initially suggested."I don't think that there's anybody in the tourism industry that says,'Well,let's go out and tax more.'No one wants to see that,"Gibson said."But our home needs money to beautify Hawaii's environment,and it will be worth it..” Hawaii has long struggled to pay for the vast environmental and conservation needs. Hawaii had previously considered requiring tourists to pay for a license to visit it,but this idea was rejected.Boosting this tax is their compromise (solution,one made more urgent by the Maui wildfires. There is a $561 million shortfall in Hawaii's conservation funding needs.The tax increase won't fully cover the gap,but Hawaii plans to issue bonds to ensure sufficient funds. Kawika Riley,an officer of Hawaii,pointed to the Hawaiian saying,"A stranger only for a day,"to explain the new tax.It means that a visitor should help with the work after the first day of being a guest."Nobody is saying that literally our visitors have to come here and start working for us.But what we are saying is that it's crucial to be part of the solution,Riley said. 28.What is the purpose of Hawaii's plan to increase tax on accommodation? A.To boost tourism income. B.To punish illegal tourists. C.To address environmental challenges. D.To solve people's livelihood problems. 【高二英语第5页（共10页）】 29.How does the hotel industry respond to the increasing tax? A.Unsure of the long-term benefits. B.Relieved by the current tax increase. C.Eager for the arrival of the tax increase. D.Concerned about the tourism impact. 30.What makes the tax increase more urgent? A.The impact of the natural disaster. B.The rejection of the license idea. C.The decline in national support. D.The increase in local tourism. 31.What is Riley's attitude to the tax increase? A.Intolerant. B.Approving. C.Skeptical. D.Objective. D Sleep is one of the most fundamental building blocks of life.All animals sleep,from dogs to humans.It has long been known that sleep also plays a significant role in physical and emotional health.But nobody might think that memory and learning are acquired while one is sleeping.However,in fact,the researchers from the University of South Australia have recently found that just the reverse is true. The researchers conducted an experiment with 35 native English speakers.These 35 participants were in the process of learning a mini-language called Mini Pinyan.Half of the students learned the language in the morning and then went on with their days,while the other half studied in the evening and then slept at the lab so that the researchers could record their brainwaves.Both groups were tested on their knowledge of Mini Pinyan in the morning, and the group that had slept soon after they studied performed significantly better than those who had not. According to previous research,there are two phases that the brain cycles through when sleeping.The first is called REM sleep.During this phase,which usually takes place about an hour and a half after a person has fallen asleep,brain activity peaks and shows levels similar to when that person is awake.This is when dreams occur.In non-REM sleep,brain activity is low. "Sleep is not just restful;it's an active,transformative state for the brain,"Dr.Scott Cousins,a researcher of the study,said.They found that the improvements were linked to two types of brainwaves-slow oscillations and sleep spindles,which become coupled during non-REM sleep.The coupling of these brainwaves appears to help the transfer of information from the hippocampus to the cortex(大脑皮层)，which is where long-term memory is stored. This is no doubt good news for anyone who wants to study a foreign language.What's more,the implications of this study could also help improve the lives of those with language- related impairments.Now there is one more reason to get a good night's sleep 32.What does the underlined word"reverse"in paragraph 1 mean? A.Descriptive. B.Opposite. C.Innovative. D.Prospective. 【高二英语第6页（共10页）】 33.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A.The setup and result of the experiment. B.Health benefits of sleeping in the evening. C.The relationship between brainwaves and memory. D.Differences between morning and evening learning styles. 34.What is a key characteristic of REM sleep? A.Absence of dreams. B.Enhancing of memory. C.High brain activity. D.Frequent information communication. 35.Why did the participants studying before sleeping perform better? A.Morning study was faced with more distractions. B.Their cortex stored memories more efficiently while asleep. C.Physical rest gained from sleep provided them with more energy. D.Non-REM sleep brainwaves helped strengthen long-term memory. 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Confidence is essentially a belief in your own abilities,qualities,and judgment.

They were both passionate about the environment and believed that a well-made video could inspire their neighbors to take more eco-friendly actions.At first,the project seemed full of promise.They spent days brainstorming ideas,researching environmental issues relevant to their area,and looking for locations for filming.However,as they delved ( deeper into the actual planning of the video,they encountered a major roadblock. The disagreement started when it came to the style of the video.Emma,who had a gift for drama and storytelling,wanted to create a narrative-driven video.She created a story about a family gradually changing their habits to become more environmentally conscious( 环保意识的).She believed that a relatable story would touch people's heartstrings and make them more likely to pay attention.Sophia,on the other hand,was more data-oriented 据为导向的).She thought that a documentary--style video,filled with hard facts and statistics about local pollution and waste,would be more effective in getting the message across.She argued that people needed to be shocked into action by the realities. As the discussion heated up,their once-harmonious relationship became strained.Their voices rose,and the air between them grew tense.They both felt strongly about their ideas and were unwilling to change.Eventually,they parted ways,each frustrated and disappointed in the other. For the next few days,Emma and Sophia went about their lives feeling a sense of emptiness.Emma found herself constantly thinking about the project and Sophia.She missed their long conversations and the excitement they had at the beginning.She started to question whether her idea was really the only way.Similarly,Sophia was also feeling down.She missed Emma's creativity and the way they used to bounce ideas off each other. 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。 It was Emma's mother who first noticed the change in her daughter. Emma took her mother's advice. 【高二英语第10页（共10页）】 2024—2025学年山西省高二下学期期末考试 英语参考答案 1—5　BCCAA　6—10　CBAAB　11—15　ABBCC　16—20　BCBAA 21—23　DBA　24—27　DCDC　28—31　CBAB　32—35　BACD　36—40　DEBGC 41—45　DCCDA　46—50　ABCAB　51—55　BADCB 56.finds　57.was created　58.uniquely　59.identical　60.diversity 61.painted　62.which　63.a　64.making　65.as 写作 第一节 参考范文: Let􀆳s take action for a greener future Good morning, everyone.

One evening, Emma sat on the sofa, staring at the floor with her face filled with frustration. Sensing her upset, her mother sat beside her and softly asked what was wrong. With a heavy sigh, Emma poured out the entire story—her argument with Sophia, their disagreement over the project, and how neither of them was willing to give in. Her mother listened patiently, then smiled and said, “Friends don􀆳t always agree, but that doesn􀆳t mean they can􀆳t work together. Try to put yourself in Sophia􀆳s shoes—maybe there􀆳s a middle path.” Emma took her mother􀆳s advice. The next day, she visited Sophia, awkward at first but soon realizing they shared the same thought—combining facts with storytelling. With their friendship restored, they created a video that opened with striking environmental statistics, followed by a fictional family􀆳s changing habits. As they worked, Emma felt excitement and gratitude, while Sophia discovered the strength in their differences. Their teamwork not only strengthened their friendship but also taught them the value of finding a balance, making their project meaningful and impactful. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
