B For four years, Tina Jones, a New Zealand interior-design business owner, has inspired others to join her in supporting community causes. She finds joy in volunteering, believing it benefits both recipients (接受者) and herself. Motivated by this, she now creates opportunities for others to contribute easily. Tina started a Facebook Messenger group, uniting 40 local women with the goal of helping those in need. When she identifies a cause — such as collecting Foodbank supplies, items for homeless shelters, or essentials for Women’s Refuge — she messages the group. Her home becomes a central collection point, making it easier for participants to contribute. “It’s about saying, ‘Here’s a chance to help — join if you can.’ People respond amazingly,” Tina explains. The approach removes barriers to giving, enabling others to contribute effortlessly without organizing efforts themselves. Tina admits that while her method is irregular, it suits her current schedule and lifts her spirits. “I don’t commit to ongoing volunteer roles yet, but short-term actions work well. As someone who enjoys communication, bringing people together feels natural,” she says. When her children were younger, school-linked projects kept her involved. After they grew up, Tina sought new ways to make a difference. Her flexible model has proven successful, promoting teamwork and positivity. “Together, we’re improving lives in small but meaningful ways — spreading kindness and building connections. It’s rewarding, especially during tough times,” she adds. Tina highlights that volunteering doesn’t have to involve strict schedules or long hours, a key reason, why her approach appeals to many. By simplifying generosity, she empowers busy individuals to participate in small, manageable acts of goodwill, creating collective impact while strengthening community bonds. 24. What inspired Tina to create opportunities for others to volunteer? A. Her experience as a designer. B. Her fondness for communication. C. Encouragement from community leaders. D. Happiness and benefits from volunteering. 25. How does Tina’s Facebook Messenger group work? A Tina organizes big events for members to join. B. Tina shares requests and uses her home as a drop-off point. C. Members must attend the weekly planning meeting. D. Members are required to meet a donation minimum. 26. Why does Tina’s volunteering approach appeal to so many people? A. It guarantees public recognition. B. It focuses on fundraising for schools. C. It demands strict schedules and long hours. D. It simplifies generosity through manageable acts. 27. What lesson can be learned from Tina’s experience? A. Not all that shines is gold. B. Rome wasn’t built in a day. C. Many hands make light work. D. The early bird catches the worm. C Artificial intelligence (AI) has outperformed humans in various tasks like chess, protein analysis, and complex financial data processing. Some claim that AI systems like DeepSeek approach human-level intelligence. However, such comparisons ignore their fundamental difference. A key distinction lies in learning efficiency. AI requires massive data and enormous energy to train, while humans learn efficiently with minimum information. A child recognizes birds after seeing just a few examples, whereas AI must analyze thousands of images. The human brain consumes energy equal to a light bulb (灯泡), yet achieves remarkable flexibility missing in AI. Memory systems further distinguish humans from artificial intelligence. Advanced AI suffers “catastrophic (灾难性的) forgetting”—new information erases previous knowledge unless engineers stop its learning process. Humans combine two memory types: semantic (语义的) memory for general knowledge and episodic memory for specific experiences. This allows continuous learning without losing core information. Although human memory is imperfect and occasionally unreliable, its selective nature promotes creative problem-solving in unpredictable situations. These differences arise from distinct design goals. AI focuses on finding precise patterns in huge datasets, unconcerned about energy limits. Human brains evolved (进化) for survival, prioritizing efficient learning and adaptable decision-making with limited resources. While AI masters tasks requiring strict rules like chess, humans outperform in imaginative thinking—composing poems or inventing tools by connecting personal experiences. Rather than viewing AI as an opponent, we should use it to enhance human capabilities. Machines handle data-heavy tasks like medical analysis, freeing humans for creative and social work requiring emotional intelligence. Human intelligence, shaped by evolution, remains irreplaceable in managing real-world uncertainties. Our imperfect memories, though sometimes causing errors, allow us to imagine future possibilities and learn from past mistakes. As technology advances, combining machine precision with human flexibility will boost progress better than seeking to replace either. 28. What can be known from Paragraph 2? A. AI recognizes patterns faster. B. AI lacks the flexibility of human learning. C. AI and humans learn at similar speeds. D. Humans learn by analyzing many cases. 29. What conclusion can be drawn about human memory? A. Its perfection makes humans superior to AI. B. It functions identically to AI memory systems. C. It causes humans to forget all past experiences. D. Its selective nature aids creative problem-solving. 30. What causes the differences between AI and human intelligence? A. Their separate design intentions. B. AI's lower energy consumption. C. AI's advantage in processing data. D. Humans' memory for general knowledge. 31. What is the purpose of the author in writing this text? A. To warn people of the potential threat of AI to humans. B. To prove that human intelligence is the best in the world. C. To advocate the combination of AI and human intelligence. D. To encourage people to develop more advanced AI systems. D Air-breathing marine animals like whales, sea turtles, and penguins have developed smart ways to save energy during long journeys, according to a new study. These animals swim at specific depths to reduce water resistance and save energy for survival and reproduction. Researchers gathered detailed swim-depth data from penguins and turtles. They combined the data with satellite-tracked depth records and published studies on whales during their long migrations. The analysis revealed a striking pattern: They all adopted similar relative swimming depths when traveling long distances. They swim at depths about three times their body’s thickness from back to chest. This depth helps them avoid creating waves at the surface, which wastes energy. This sweet spot for energy efficiency has long been established in physics. According to physics experiments, wave resistance drops sharply when objects stay at this depth. For example, small penguins (30 cm long) and large whales (20 m long) both follow this rule. By swimming just deep enough to avoid waves but staying close to the surface, they save energy while still breathing efficiently. Though they sometimes dive deeper to find food or escape danger, they stick to this energy-saving depth during migrations or daily travels. The discovery is of significant importance because it applies to many different animals. Furthermore, it also helps protect these species. Knowing where and at what depths the animals swim can reduce accidents, such as boats hitting whales, which is a major threat to them, or turtles getting caught in fishing nets. Tracking animals to find out where they live and travel has become a key part of designing effective conservation measures. For example, setting up protected areas in specific water layers or adjusting the depth of fishing equipment can reduce harm to marine life. In conclusion, simple changes in human activities can make a big difference in saving these animals. 32. Why do marine animals swim at specific depths during long journeys? A. To hunt for food efficiently. B. To avoid threats in deeper waters. C. To communicate with other animals. D. To lessen water resistance and conserve energy. 33. What does the underlined phrase “sweet spot” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Perfect position. B. Delicious taste. C. Special method. D. Pleasant smell. 34. How does the discovery help people protect marine animals? A. Banning all fishing activities. B. Relocating animals to safer areas. C. Reducing harmful human activities. D. Advancing tracking technology. 35. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. The Mysterious Life of Marine Animals B. The Existing Threats to Marine Animals C. How Marine Animals Efficiently Find Food D How Marine Animals Save Energy During Long Journeys 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。 In a world that’s awake 24/7, a lot of us have pretty messed up sleeping schedules.

Dark clouds covered the sky like a heavy blanket, occasionally lit by flashes of lightning. The radio had just issued a tornado warning when powerful winds began lifting the truck’s wheels off the ground. Rain poured down like waterfalls, making the road hard to see. The strong winds shook their truck violently. Suddenly, the tornado lifted their vehicle completely off the ground, spinning (旋转) it through the air before throwing it against a tall tree with terrible force. Glass exploded inward as both front windows shattered (破碎), covering the parents with sharp pieces that mixed with the pouring rain. The impact left the parents seriously injured their backs and necks were broken, and Lindy had a punctured lung (肺刺伤) that made breathing difficult. In the back seat, however, their 9-year-old son Branson remained completely unharmed. His seat belt had held firm during the violent spinning. When the truck finally stopped moving, young Branson quickly realized the seriousness of the situation. His parents were trapped in their seats, unable to move. Branson tried to reach for his parents’ phones, only to find they were crushed beyond use. The brave boy made a difficult decision. “Mom, Dad, please don’t die — I’ll be back,” he promised, his voice shaking but determined. Carefully climbing out through the broken window, Branson found himself alone in the dark night surrounded by fallen trees and broken electrical wires. The fourth grader began running toward the nearest help he could remember a family friend’s house about one mile away. Branson jumped over broken branches and moved around dangerous electrical wires hanging low from broken poles. Sharp rocks cut his feet through his shoes, and cold rain made the ground slippery, but he kept repeating his parents’ names to stay focused. After what felt like hours, he finally reached the friend’s house and pounded on the door desperately. 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。 In no time, Mr. Thompson rushed to answer the door. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A month later, Branson sat by his parents’ hospital beds. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2024—2025学年下学期期末考试 高二英语 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的学校、班级、姓名及考号填写在答题卡上。 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。 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?

The tornado threw our truck.” Without hesitation, Mr. Thompson grabbed a flashlight and his phone, instructed his wife to call 911, and drove Branson to the crash site in his truck. When they arrived, the rescue team had already arrived. Rescuers used specialized tools to free Branson’s parents from the truck, both unconscious but still breathing. As ambulances sped away, Branson finally breathed a sigh of relief. A month later, Branson sat by his parents’ hospital beds. Both Wayne and Lindy were on the mend. Their faces lit up with pride as they looked at their son. “You saved our lives, Branson,” Lindy said, her voice full of emotion. Branson smiled shyly, holding his parents’ hands tightly.
