D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了四个世界各地的最佳志愿者旅行项目，包括项目地点、价格、时长和具体活动内容。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据每个项目介绍中的价格信息可知，Rainforest and Coastal Conservation in Zanzibar项目一周的价格为565美元，Hospital & Clinic Support in Kenya项目两周的价格为1,695美元，即一周约为847.5美元，Environmental Conservation Project in Sri Lanka项目一周的价格为720美元，Women’s Empowerment and Community Volunteering in India项目两周的价格为1,566美元，即一周约为783美元。因此，Rainforest and Coastal Conservation in Zanzibar项目一周的价格最便宜。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Environmental Conservation Project in Sri Lanka部分中的“Volunteers will help reforest mangroves, take on beach and river cleanups, and educate the local communities on recycling. (志愿者将帮助重新种植红树林，清理海滩和河流，并向当地社区宣传回收利用。)”可知，在斯里兰卡的志愿者旅行中，志愿者就回收利用相关知识对当地人进行教育。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Women’s Empowerment and Community Volunteering in India部分中的“This project takes place in the afternoon, as most of these women have to complete their housework in the mornings. (这个项目在下午进行，因为这些女性中的大多数人必须在早上完成家务。)”可知，Women’s Empowerment and Community Volunteering项目在下午进行是因为大多数女性已经完成了家务。故选D项。 B NeSmith and Maxwell are long-time residents (居民) of Oglethorpe County, Georgia, and they have known each other for almost 50 years. In 2021, Maxwell called NeSmith to let him know that because of health problems, he would be closing his weekly newspaper, The Oglethorpe Echo. NeSmith decided to prevent the nearly 150-year-old local newspaper from being forgotten. NeSmith remembered waking up at 6 a. m. after that phone call, He jumped into his truck and drove to The Echo offices. Upon arriving, he suggested that his friend think of a new solution. “Well, what are we going to do?” Maxwell asked him. “Are you going to buy the newspaper?” NeSmith looked up, searching for an answer, Then, a sudden idea hit him. He would create an organization and Maxwell would donate The Echo to it. After leaving the office, NeSmith called Charles Davis, director of the University of Georgia’s Grady College. “I’ve got an idea,” NeSmith told him. “I want to turn The Echo into a real-life experience for students at Grady College who want to be reporters.” Davis loved the idea, and he and NeSmith developed a course with The Echo as its foundation. Students could experience a working newsroom which would act as a stepping stone into their careers. Of course, they needed someone to run the newspaper. Then Andy Johnston, who had been teaching at Grady for a month, appeared, “I believe in the project. We’ve heard about other newspapers closing, especially in rural counties,” Johnston said, “When that happens, it means their only source of news and the only thing that holds people together is closing. Johnston teamed up with Amanda Bright, who taught the course. Bright, a community reporter, helped create new digital platforms for The Echo, including an email newsletter and a website. The Echo also ran on a team of 12 volunteers that worked at the main office. The reason The Echo was able to continue is that everyone worked together — the students, Grady College, NeSmith, Maxwell, and the residents of Oglethorpe County. 4. For what purpose did Maxwell call NeSmith? A. To prevent his being forgotten. B. To keep him up to date on his health. C. To ask him to come and pay him a visit. D. To tell him about a decision he had made. 5. What may students at Grady College get from The Echo? A. Skills for running newspapers B. Work experience as a reporter. C. Donations to continue their education. D. Chances to study famous newspapers. 6. Why does Johnston place importance on The Echo? A. It has a long history. B. It offers fun to natives. C. It unites the local people. D. It is owned by his family. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Newspapers are dying B. A county saves a newspaper C. Friends help out a man in need D. A project breathes new life into a county 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了在乔治亚州奥格尔索普县，NeSmith和Maxwell为挽救当地有着近150年历史的报纸《The Oglethorpe Echo》所做出的努力，通过与乔治亚大学格雷迪学院的合作，使其成为学生实践的平台，并得以继续运营的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In 2021, Maxwell called NeSmith to let him know that because of health problems, he would be closing his weekly newspaper, The Oglethorpe Echo.(2021年，Maxwell打电话给NeSmith，告诉他因为健康问题，他将关闭他的周报《The Oglethorpe Echo》)”可知，Maxwell打电话给NeSmith是为了告诉他自己做出的一个决定，也就是因为健康问题要关闭周报。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Davis loved the idea, and he and NeSmith developed a course with The Echo as its foundation. Students could experience a working newsroom which would act as a stepping stone into their careers.(Davis很喜欢这个主意，他和NeSmith以《The Echo》为基础开发了一门课程。学生们可以体验一个真正的新闻编辑室，这将成为他们职业生涯的垫脚石)”可知，格雷迪学院的学生能从《The Echo》中获得作为记者的工作经验。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“When that happens, it means their only source of news and the only thing that holds people together is closing.(当这种情况发生时，就意味着他们唯一的新闻来源和唯一能把人们团结在一起的东西正在消失)”可知，Johnston认为《The Echo》很重要是因为它团结了当地居民。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了在乔治亚州奥格尔索普县，NeSmith和Maxwell为挽救当地有着近150年历史的报纸《The Oglethorpe Echo》所做出的努力，通过与乔治亚大学格雷迪学院的合作，使其成为学生实践的平台，并得以继续运营的故事，所以选项B“一个县挽救了一份报纸”符合文意，最能概括文章内容。故选B。 C In 1973, when Melissa Greene was in 6th grade, her parents bought the first flat on Hutchinson Island. The first time she ran down to the wild shore, she was shocked by the contrast to their earlier beach trips to Daytona, a people-packed spectacle of cars. On Hutchinson, the spectacle was the seashells (海贝). Today, on the same stretch of beach, she rarely finds large whole shells. Among the most amazing natural objects, seashells represent both the surprise and wonder still promised by a trip to the beach - and the major changes underway on our coasts. Many of the largest and best-known marine mollusks (海洋软体动物) - the animal architects that build seashells - have declined under fishing pressure. They are also harmed by rising ocean temperatures, and by pollution and runoff from the land. And they can be displaced by the severe erosion (侵蚀) caused by inlets - a growing problem on Hutchinson Island - as well as efforts to repair eroded beaches by recovering lost sand. Twenty-five years ago, Sanibel Island became the first city in the U. S. to ban (禁止) “live shelling”, the practice of collecting and killing mollusks for their shells. The move to protect the individual lives of soft-bodied mollusks seems almost strange given ocean warming and other “tough realities of the changing world,” acknowledges José H. Leal, science director at Sanibel’s Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum. But helping beach goers appreciate the animals inside the shell as much as the shiny exterior turns out to be a crucial step toward helping them understand what’s happening in the sea, Leal says. “If people understand the complexity of these animals and their importance, they will also realize the need to protect marine environments.” Delaware Seashore State Park is taking so-called low-impact beach combing (赶海) a step further: asking visitors to leave empty shells alone, too. At the park, signs advise visitors to leave shells where they lie or take a photo of a marine creature in the sand. After all, the point of enjoying nature is that it is in a natural state. 8. What impressed Melissa Greene on Hutchinson Island when she was young? A. The seashells. B. The tourists. C. The flats. D. The cars. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The dangers marine mollusks face. B. The changes seashells have experienced. C. The efforts made to save marine mollusks. D. The current situation of Hutchinson Island. 10. What does José H. Leal think of banning “live shelling”? A. It slows down ocean warming. B. It keeps people away from beaches. C. It popularizes the collecting of seashells. D. It raises people’s awareness of ocean protection. 11. What is the purpose of Delaware Seashore State Park’s advice? A. To provide habitat for small creatures. B. To protect visitors from being harmed. C. To attract marine creatures to the beach. D. To preserve the natural state of the beach. 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了海贝壳的现状及其面临的威胁，并探讨了保护海贝壳的重要性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The first time she ran down to the wild shore, she was shocked by the contrast to their earlier beach trips to Daytona, a people-packed spectacle of cars. On Hutchinson, the spectacle was the seashells (海贝). (当她第一次跑到荒凉的海岸时，她被与他们之前去代托纳海滩旅行的对比所震惊，那里挤满了人，到处都是汽车。在哈钦森岛上，最引人注目的是海贝。)”可知，当Melissa Greene第一次跑到哈钦森岛的野生海岸时，让她印象深刻的是那里的海贝。故选A项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Many of the largest and best-known marine mollusks (海洋软体动物) - the animal architects that build seashells - have declined under fishing pressure. They are also harmed by rising ocean temperatures, and by pollution and runoff from the land. And they can be displaced by the severe erosion (侵蚀) caused by inlets - a growing problem on Hutchinson Island - as well as efforts to repair eroded beaches by recovering lost sand. (许多最大和最著名的海洋软体动物——建造贝壳的动物建筑师——在捕捞压力下数量减少了。它们还受到海洋温度上升、污染和陆地径流的伤害。他们可能会因为进水口造成的严重侵蚀而流离失所——这是哈钦森岛日益严重的问题——以及通过回收流失的沙子来修复被侵蚀的海滩的努力。)”可知，许多大型且知名的海洋软体动物在捕鱼压力下数量减少，还受到海洋温度上升、陆地污染和径流的伤害，以及因海湾造成的严重侵蚀和修复侵蚀海滩的措施的影响，所以第三段主要讲的是海洋软体动物面临的危险（The dangers marine mollusks face）。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“But helping beach goers appreciate the animals inside the shell as much as the shiny exterior turns out to be a crucial step toward helping them understand what’s happening in the sea, Leal says. “If people understand the complexity of these animals and their importance, they will also realize the need to protect marine environments.” (但Leal说，帮助海滩游客欣赏贝壳里的动物，就像欣赏闪亮的外表一样，是帮助他们了解海洋中正在发生的事情的关键一步。“如果人们了解这些动物的复杂性和它们的重要性，他们也会意识到保护海洋环境的必要性。”)”可知，José H. Leal认为禁止 “活贝壳采集” 能帮助海滩游客像欣赏贝壳闪亮的外表一样欣赏里面的动物，这是帮助他们了解海洋中正在发生的事情的关键一步，如果人们了解这些动物的复杂性和重要性，他们就会意识到保护海洋环境的必要性，所以他认为禁止 “活贝壳采集” 能提高人们的海洋保护意识（It raises people’s awareness of ocean protection）。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Delaware Seashore State Park is taking so-called low-impact beach combing (赶海) a step further: asking visitors to leave empty shells alone, too. At the park, signs advise visitors to leave shells where they lie or take a photo of a marine creature in the sand. After all, the point of enjoying nature is that it is in a natural state. (特拉华海岸州立公园（Delaware Seashore State Park）正在对所谓的低影响海滩进行更深入的梳理：要求游客也不要碰空贝壳。在公园里，指示牌建议游客把贝壳留在原地，或者给沙滩上的海洋生物拍照。毕竟，享受自然的意义在于它处于一种自然的状态。)”可知，特拉华州海滨州立公园让游客留下空贝壳，建议游客让贝壳留在原地或给沙滩上的海洋生物拍照，因为享受自然的关键是它处于自然状态，所以该公园建议的目的是保护海滩的自然状态（To preserve the natural state of the beach）。故选D项。 D One year ago, in an art competition at the Colorado State Fair in the United States, an artwork created with help from artificial intelligence (AI) called “Théâtre D’opéra Spatial” won the first prize in the digital art category and sparked discussions online. Now, officials with the 151-year-old fair have revised the contest’s rules: Artists must claim whether they used AI to make their entries, reports the Denver Post’s John Wenzel. The saga (事件) began last August, when game designer Jason Allen won the top spot in the fair’s digital arts competition. When he shared his victory online, he mentioned that he’d used Midjourney — an AI program that turns text into images — to help create his piece, titled “Th éâtre D’opéra Spatial”. Allen maintained he was open about using AI from the beginning, though the judges said they didn’t know until after the fact. Either way, claim wasn’t necessary at the time, meaning Allen never broke any rules. His victory was controversial (有争议的) — and now, as a result, officials have decided to tweak the submission requirements. At this year’s fair, which took place in Pueblo between August 26 and September 4, artists needed to “tell if art or artwork was created using an Artificial Intelligence Generator,” according to this year’s requirements. Allen wasn’t happy about the new requirement, telling the Denver Post that it was essentially a “discriminatory mark” against AI artworks. Despite the change, he decided to submit once again to the digital arts category. The fair’s leaders say they plan to continue adapting as technology advances. As ScottStoller, the fair’s general manager, tells the Denver Post, the digital arts category itself has only been around for a few decades. In the future, officials may even decide to add a separate AI category, depending on how popular tools like Midjourney become. “That’s the beauty of art — that it’s always evolving,” says Stoller. “Art can be anything, and anything can be made into art.” 12. What can be learnt about Jason Allen? A. He developed an AI program. B. He revised the rules of an arts contest. C. He won first place in an art competition. D. He was the leader of the Colorado State Fair. 13. What does the underlined word “tweak” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Select. B. Revise. C. Continue. D. Create. 14. What can be inferred from the text? A. Allen broke the art competition rules. B. Some people thought Allen deserved the victory. C. Artists can’t use AI to make their entries. D. Th éâtre D’opéra Spatial was completely created by AI. 15. What’s Stoller’s attitude towards the AI artworks? A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Approving. D. Unconcerned. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了一年前，在美国科罗拉多州博览会的一项艺术竞赛中，一件由人工智能（AI）帮助创作的作品获得了数字艺术类别的一等奖，并在网上引发了讨论。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The saga (事件) began last August, when game designer Jason Allen won the top spot in the fair’s digital arts competition. (这个故事始于去年8月，当时游戏设计师杰森·艾伦赢得了博览会数字艺术竞赛的冠军)”可知，他在艺术比赛中获得第一名。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Now, officials with the 151-year-old fair have revised the contest’s rules: Artists must claim whether they used AI to make their entries, reports the Denver Post’s John Wenzel. (据《丹佛邮报》的约翰·温泽尔报道，现在，这个有着151年历史的博览会的官员修改了比赛规则：艺术家必须声明他们是否使用了人工智能来制作作品)”以及第四段中划线词前文“His victory was controversial (有争议的) (他的胜利引起了争议)”可知，他的成功引起了争议，因此，官员们决定修改提交作品的要求，从而推知划线词意思是“修改”。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Allen maintained he was open about using AI from the beginning, though the judges said they didn’t know until after the fact. Either way, claim wasn’t necessary at the time, meaning Allen never broke any rules. (艾伦坚持表示，他从一开始就公开使用人工智能，尽管评委们说他们直到事情发生后才得知。无论如何，当时并没有相关规定要求声明，这意味着艾伦并未违反任何规则)”及第四段中“His victory was controversial (有争议的) — and now, as a result, officials have decided to tweak the submission requirements. (他的胜利引发了争议——而现在，因此，官员们决定调整提交作品的要求)”可知，艾伦没有违反规则，他的胜利引发了争议，但并未明确说明有人反对他获奖，故可推测出有些人可能认为他的作品值得获奖，否则不会引发广泛的讨论。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““That’s the beauty of art — that it’s always evolving,” says Stoller. “Art can be anything, and anything can be made into art.”(斯托勒说：“这就是艺术的美——它总是在不断发展。”“艺术可以是任何东西，任何东西都可以变成艺术)”可知，斯托勒对人工智能艺术品的态度是赞成的。故选C项。 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。 Living with a roommate can be a mixed blessing. ____16____.

E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了与室友同住有喜有忧及营造和谐居住环境的策略。 【16题详解】 由上文“Living with a roommate can be a mixed blessing.(和室友一起生活可能是福祸参半)”以及后文“On the other, it has its fair share of difficulties, especially when living with someone quite unlike you.(另一方面，它也有相当多的困难，尤其是和与你截然不同的人一起生活时)”可知，这里是在阐述和室友同住的两个方面，一方面有好处，另一方面有困难，所以本空应表达和室友同住有好处这一方面，故A选项“On one hand, it brings many benefits (一方面，它带来很多好处)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选A。 【17题详解】 由后文“Secondly, creating rules and guidelines together is an essential part of that communication.(其次，共同制定规则和准则是这种沟通的重要组成部分)”以及“Thirdly, sharing the load around the house is indeed a fundamental aspect of harmonious living.(第三，分担家务确实是和谐生活的一个基本方面)”以及“Finally, respecting each other is crucial for maintaining a peaceful coexistence.(最后，相互尊重对于维持和平共处至关重要)”可知，文章是从几个方面阐述与室友和谐相处的方法，所以本空应是第一个方面，且根据后文“When you truly know your roommate, you can be more flexible to meet their needs, and they’ll do the same for you.(当你真正了解你的室友时，你可以更灵活地满足他们的需求，他们也会为你做同样的事情)”可知，本空应与了解室友有关，故D选项“Firstly, getting to know your roommate is crucial (首先，了解你的室友至关重要)”能引出下文，符合题意。故选D。 【18题详解】 由上文“Secondly, creating rules and guidelines together is an essential part of that communication.(其次，共同制定规则和准则是这种沟通的重要组成部分)”可知，提到了共同制定规则和准则，由后文“They let each person clarify what matters most to them. Even though you won’t always see eye to eye on every matter, this environment opens the door to healthy negotiation.(它们让每个人都能阐明对自己最重要的事情。即使你们在每件事情上并不总是意见一致，这种环境也为健康的协商打开了大门)”可知，这里在说这些规则的作用，所以本空应与共同制定的规则的作用有关，故B选项“These jointly-made rules play significant roles (这些共同制定的规则起着重要作用)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选B。 【19题详解】 由上文“Thirdly, sharing the load around the house is indeed a fundamental aspect of harmonious living.(第三，分担家务确实是和谐生活的一个基本方面)”可知，提到了分担家务，由后文“they may feel overburdened. However, when everyone takes turns to clean the bathroom or take out the garbage, it makes life easier for everyone.(他们可能会感到负担过重。然而，当每个人轮流打扫浴室或倒垃圾时，这会让每个人的生活都更轻松)”可知，这里在说如果一个人总是负责打扫公共区域会怎样，所以本空应表达一个人总是负责打扫公共区域的情况，故G选项“If one person is always responsible for cleaning the common areas (如果一个人总是负责打扫公共区域)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选G。 【20题详解】 由上文“Finally, respecting each other is crucial for maintaining a peaceful coexistence. If you have a roommate who values their privacy and keeps their room organized in a certain way, avoid walking into their room without permission (最后，相互尊重对于维持和平共处至关重要。如果你有一个重视隐私并以某种方式整理自己房间的室友，未经允许不要走进他们的房间)”可知，这里在说尊重室友隐私的事情，所以本空应继续阐述尊重室友隐私的行为，故E选项“Don’t move or use their personal items without asking (未经询问不要移动或使用他们的个人物品)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选E。 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 As the son of the legendary Sito Pons, a two-time MotoGP winner, Axel Pons had high expectations to meet early in his racing career.

While others played video games or hung out with friends after school, Ethan spent his afternoons running a small lemonade (柠檬水) stand near the park where he lived with his mother Ethan’s mother worked hard, doing multiple jobs just to keep a roof over their heads. Their trailer (拖车) was old and worn, and while it provided shelter, Ethan dreamed of earning enough money to pay for his college tuition. He knew that getting a good education was the key to a bright future, and he was determined to attend college one day. One hot summer afternoon, while Ethan was manning his lemonade stand, a man in a black car pulled up. Dressed in a sharp suit, he stepped out and walked over to the stand. He seemed out of place in the run-down neighborhood, but his warm smile put Ethan at ease “Hot day,” the man said, reaching for his wallet. “I’ll take a lemonade.” “Sure thing,” Ethan replied, pouring a glass with his usual care. As the man drank the lemonade, he watched Ethan closely. “You’re quite the businessman,” the man commented. “How long have you been running this stand?” “About a year,” Ethan answered. “I’m saving up to pay for my college tuition one day.” The man was curious. “That’s an admirable goal for someone of your age. Tell me more.” Ethan hesitated for a moment, but something about the man’s kind behavior encouraged him to share. He told the man about his life, the struggles his mother faced, and his dream of earning money for college. When Ethan finished, the man reached into his wallet and handed Ethan a hundred-dollar ill. “Consider this an investment in your future.” Ethan’s eyes widened in shock. “I... I can’t take that.” “Sure you can,” the man insisted. “And that’s not all. I work for a big company, and we often need refreshments for our meetings. I think your lemonade could be a great addition. I’ll help you supply our company with lemonade, and you can make good money from it.” 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。 The man wasn’t just making empty promises. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Years passed, and Ethan’s hard work paid off. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The man wasn’t just making empty promises. The next week, he sent his assistant to Ethan’s stand, who signed a contract with Ethan to supply lemonade for their company’s weekly meetings. Every Monday, Ethan would prepare fresh lemonade, which was picked up by the assistant. This not only brought Ethan steady income but also taught him how to manage a small business, which he had never learned before. He even hired a few of his classmates to help him, which taught him the value of teamwork and responsibility. Years passed, and Ethan’s hard work paid off. He saved enough money to attend college, where he studied business management. During his studies, he often thought of the man who had helped him, realizing that kindness could change a person’s life. After graduation, Ethan started his own beverage company. He always remembered his roots and often selflessly helped kids from poor families, hoping that they could also chase their dreams like he did. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Ethan的成长经历为线索展开，讲述了一个13岁的男孩Ethan通过经营柠檬水摊位，努力攒钱以支付大学学费的故事。在一个炎热的夏日午后，一位穿着得体的男士被Ethan的坚持和梦想所打动，不仅给予了他经济上的帮助，还为他提供了商业机会。多年后，Ethan凭借自己的努力和这份善意的支持，实现了自己的梦想，并回馈社会。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这位男士并非空口承诺。”可知，第一段可描写男士兑现承诺，帮助Ethan的柠檬水生意起步，并给他带来稳定收入和宝贵经验的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“多年过去，Ethan 的努力得到了回报。”可知，第二段可描写Ethan多年努力后成功攒够学费上大学，并在毕业后创立自己的公司，回馈社会的情景。 2.续写线索：男士兑现承诺——签订合同——稳定收入——学习管理——攒够学费——上大学——创立公司——回馈社会 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①供应：supply/provide ②雇佣：hire/employ ③帮助：help/assist 品德类 ①好心：kindness/goodwill ②无私地：selflessly/with no regard for oneself/generously 【点睛】【高分句型1】The next week, he sent his assistant to Ethan’s stand, who signed a contract with Ethan to supply lemonade for their company’s weekly meetings.（运用了who引导的非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】During his studies, he often thought of the man who had helped him, realizing that kindness could change a person’s life.（运用了who引导的定语从句以及that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二年级期末考试试题 英语 考生注意： 1. 本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2. 答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3. 考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答、超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4. 本卷命题范围：人教版选择性必修第四册。 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.

In 2021, Maxwell called NeSmith to let him know that because of health problems, he would be closing his weekly newspaper, The Oglethorpe Echo. NeSmith decided to prevent the nearly 150-year-old local newspaper from being forgotten. NeSmith remembered waking up at 6 a. m. after that phone call, He jumped into his truck and drove to The Echo offices. Upon arriving, he suggested that his friend think of a new solution. “Well, what are we going to do?” Maxwell asked him. “Are you going to buy the newspaper?” NeSmith looked up, searching for an answer, Then, a sudden idea hit him. He would create an organization and Maxwell would donate The Echo to it. After leaving the office, NeSmith called Charles Davis, director of the University of Georgia’s Grady College. “I’ve got an idea,” NeSmith told him. “I want to turn The Echo into a real-life experience for students at Grady College who want to be reporters.” Davis loved the idea, and he and NeSmith developed a course with The Echo as its foundation. Students could experience a working newsroom which would act as a stepping stone into their careers. Of course, they needed someone to run the newspaper. Then Andy Johnston, who had been teaching at Grady for a month, appeared, “I believe in the project. We’ve heard about other newspapers closing, especially in rural counties,” Johnston said, “When that happens, it means their only source of news and the only thing that holds people together is closing. Johnston teamed up with Amanda Bright, who taught the course. Bright, a community reporter, helped create new digital platforms for The Echo, including an email newsletter and a website. The Echo also ran on a team of 12 volunteers that worked at the main office. The reason The Echo was able to continue is that everyone worked together — the students, Grady College, NeSmith, Maxwell, and the residents of Oglethorpe County. 4. For what purpose did Maxwell call NeSmith? A. To prevent his being forgotten. B. To keep him up to date on his health. C. To ask him to come and pay him a visit. D. To tell him about a decision he had made. 5. What may students at Grady College get from The Echo? A. Skills for running newspapers B. Work experience as a reporter. C. Donations to continue their education. D. Chances to study famous newspapers. 6. Why does Johnston place importance on The Echo? A. It has a long history. B. It offers fun to natives. C. It unites the local people. D. It is owned by his family. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Newspapers are dying B. A county saves a newspaper C. Friends help out a man in need D. A project breathes new life into a county C In 1973, when Melissa Greene was in 6th grade, her parents bought the first flat on Hutchinson Island. The first time she ran down to the wild shore, she was shocked by the contrast to their earlier beach trips to Daytona, a people-packed spectacle of cars. On Hutchinson, the spectacle was the seashells (海贝). Today, on the same stretch of beach, she rarely finds large whole shells. Among the most amazing natural objects, seashells represent both the surprise and wonder still promised by a trip to the beach - and the major changes underway on our coasts. Many of the largest and best-known marine mollusks (海洋软体动物) - the animal architects that build seashells - have declined under fishing pressure. They are also harmed by rising ocean temperatures, and by pollution and runoff from the land. And they can be displaced by the severe erosion (侵蚀) caused by inlets - a growing problem on Hutchinson Island - as well as efforts to repair eroded beaches by recovering lost sand. Twenty-five years ago Sanibel Island became the first city in the U. S. to ban (禁止) “live shelling”, the practice of collecting and killing mollusks for their shells. The move to protect the individual lives of soft-bodied mollusks seems almost strange given ocean warming and other “tough realities of the changing world,” acknowledges José H. Leal, science director at Sanibel’s Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum. But helping beach goers appreciate the animals inside the shell as much as the shiny exterior turns out to be a crucial step toward helping them understand what’s happening in the sea, Leal says. “If people understand the complexity of these animals and their importance, they will also realize the need to protect marine environments.” Delaware Seashore State Park is taking so-called low-impact beach combing (赶海) a step further: asking visitors to leave empty shells alone, too. At the park, signs advise visitors to leave shells where they lie or take a photo of a marine creature in the sand. After all, the point of enjoying nature is that it is in a natural state. 8. What impressed Melissa Greene on Hutchinson Island when she was young? A. The seashells. B. The tourists. C. The flats. D. The cars. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The dangers marine mollusks face. B. The changes seashells have experienced. C. The efforts made to save marine mollusks. D. The current situation of Hutchinson Island. 10. What does José H. Leal think of banning “live shelling”? A. It slows down ocean warming. B. It keeps people away from beaches. C. It popularizes the collecting of seashells. D. It raises people’s awareness of ocean protection. 11. What is the purpose of Delaware Seashore State Park’s advice? A. To provide habitat for small creatures. B. To protect visitors from being harmed. C. To attract marine creatures to the beach. D. To preserve the natural state of the beach. D One year ago, in an art competition at the Colorado State Fair in the United States, an artwork created with help from artificial intelligence (AI) called “Théâtre D’opéra Spatial” won the first prize in the digital art category and sparked discussions online. Now, officials with the 151-year-old fair have revised the contest’s rules: Artists must claim whether they used AI to make their entries, reports the Denver Post’s John Wenzel. The saga (事件) began last August, when game designer Jason Allen won the top spot in the fair’s digital arts competition. When he shared his victory online, he mentioned that he’d used Midjourney — an AI program that turns text into images — to help create his piece, titled “Th éâtre D’opéra Spatial”. Allen maintained he was open about using AI from the beginning, though the judges said they didn’t know until after the fact. Either way, claim wasn’t necessary at the time, meaning Allen never broke any rules. His victory was controversial (有争议的) — and now, as a result, officials have decided to tweak the submission requirements. At this year’s fair, which took place in Pueblo between August 26 and September 4, artists needed to “tell if art or artwork was created using an Artificial Intelligence Generator,” according to this year’s requirements. Allen wasn’t happy about the new requirement, telling the Denver Post that it was essentially a “discriminatory mark” against AI artworks.

I can’t take that.” “Sure you can,” the man insisted. “And that’s not all. I work for a big company, and we often need refreshments for our meetings. I think your lemonade could be a great addition.
