However, “Art feeds the soul but starves the body,” Mom always said. Her words kept coming to my mind and prevented me from making a decision. The watercolor brushes and the pre-medical application form on my desk seemed to gaze at me together. Then came the school career fair that changed everything. Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard asked us to list our “hidden skills”. My hand shook as I wrote “observing details”, something I’d learned from painting flowers. “That’s medical research’s most needed skill!” she said, sharing how a student turned science notes into textbook illustrations. For the first time, I realized that my two worlds didn’t feel so separate. The real surprise came during hospital volunteering. Watching surgeries, I noticed something — the steady hands of doctors reminded me of my brushwork. When a boy couldn’t explain his pain, I drew a fire-breathing dragon on his cast (石膏). “You made medicine speak,” the nurse said. Slowly, my drawing pads were filled with cells that looked like colored-glass art and X-rays arranged like abstract paintings. Mr. Dawson, our career counselor, helped me see the connection. On his whiteboard, my medical knowledge and art skills overlapped in a bright yellow circle labeled “Medical Illustration”. He showed me job listings I never knew about — people who draw pictures for science apps or 3D models of body parts for doctors to study. “Your ‘impractical’ skill makes you stand out,” he said, pointing to my dragon drawing now used in pain management workshops. From that day on, I had the answer in my heart about what I should be in the future. Today, my microscope and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that once hesitated between them now create 3D models of viruses for medical education. Sometimes I teach young patients to draw their feelings instead of describing them. My story isn’t about a choice between your heart or reality — it’s about how two passions can work together to make new possibilities. 24. Lora mother’s words ______. A. stopped Lora from making a living as an artist. B. had a bad impact on Lora’s class performance. C. made Lora hesitate between art and medicine. D. inspired Lora to choose medical illustration. 25. Dr. Eleanor Whitman helped Lora realize ______. A. hidden skills were hard to develop from painting. B. medical illustration required scientific knowledge. C. her flower paintings could be textbook illustrations. D. her art-related skills could be useful in medical research. 26. What led Lora to make a decision on job choice? A The nurse’s praise. B. Her mother’s warning. C. The boy patient’s needs. D. Mr. Dawson’s introduction. 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. Opportunities favor the prepared. B. Follow the beaten track to success. C. Combining talents creates new chances. D. Never place all your eggs in one basket. C There’s a reason for the phrase “the eyes are the window to the soul.” You don’t have to be a psychologist to know that the eyes communicate a lot of information. And a recent study reveals how humans use their eyes to communicate without words. In the future, this line of research could lead to a better understanding of how people with conditions that affect social skills. “We try to find the reason for why our brain engages with social information differently,” said Ristic, a professor of psychology at McGill University in Canada and the senior author of the study, which was published online in September. In the research, Ristic and her colleagues were interested in understanding whether people respond to intentional eye movements differently than they do to unintentional eye movements. First, they recorded people sitting in front of a screen and moving their eyes in response to prompts (提示词) on that screen. For instance, the individuals were sometimes prompted to move their eyes left or right—their choice—and other times, they were clearly directed to look one way or the other. Next, the researchers invited about 80 participants to watch these recordings, which were cut just before the people in the video actually moved their eyes. In each video clip, the participants were asked to predict which way each person would glance: left or right. “They were faster to make these decisions when the looks were intentional,” Ristic said. This difference in prediction speed was a matter of a few milliseconds, but it revealed that people process intentional and unintentional stares differently. The researchers analyzed their video recordings to figure out what participants might be seeing that would help them more quickly predict eye motion before a person intentionally shifted their stare. To the naked eye, it didn’t look like the recorded individuals were moving at all. But in a close analysis, the researchers found that there was more motion around the eye area before someone chose to move their stare versus when they were told which way to look. These tiny movements might have been a “tell”. “We guess based on this that these very subtle motion signals are communicated very quickly to indicate intentionally to others and that our system as the observer is very sensitive to that,” Ristic said. The next step in the research will be to use more precise eye-tracking techniques to understand these subtle signals. The team plans to conduct follow-up studies with participants who have a condition that affects social skills such as autism (自闭症). In these neurodevelopmental disorders, people may struggle to notice and interpret social signals. “This is one of the key questions in the autism world,” Ristic said. “Where is the system working differently, and in which aspects?” 28. Why did Ristic conduct the study? A. To prove that the eyes are the window to the soul. B. To find out why people can know intentions from stares. C. To explore why brains handle social information in different ways. D. To confirm that eyes are more sensitive in the communication system. 29. According to Paragraph 6, what might the tiny movements have told? A. People’s intentional stares. B. People’s video recordings. C. People’s social conditions. D. People’s naked eyes. 30. According to the passage, the study may ______. A. help understand social challenges in autism. B. improve communication efficiency. C. find signs of social skill disorders. D. perfect eye-tracking techniques. D “Woman reading book, under a night sky, dreamy atmosphere.” I type into Deep Dream Generator’s Text 2 Dream feature. In less than a minute, an image is returned to me showing what I’ve described. Welcome to the world of AI image generation (生成), where you can create what on the surface looks like top-rank artwork using just a few text prompts. But closer examination shows strangeness. The face of the woman in my image has very strange features, and appears to be holding various books. And, while I did feel excited at seeing an image appear, I didn’t have any creative satisfaction. AI image generation could impact everything from film to graphic novels and more. Children’s illustrators were quick to raise concerns about the technology. They say AI-generated art is the exact opposite of what art is believed to be. Basically, art is translating what you feel inside into something that exists outside. Whatever form it takes, true art is about the creative process much more than it’s about the final piece. And simply pressing a button to generate an image is not a creative process. Beyond creativity, there are deeper issues. To create images from prompts, AI generators rely on databases of already existing art and text. This could lead to the creation of images that purposely copy the style of other artists, without their agreement. There is an argument that AI generators work no differently to humans when it comes to being influenced by others’ work. However, a human artist is adding emotion and details into the mix. AI doesn’t do the same — it can only copy. The increasing use of AI will also lead to devaluation of the work of artists. People may think that their AI-generated “work” is as acceptable as that created by someone who has spent a career making art. It’s wrong, of course. The skills, effort, and vision of human artists shouldn’t be ignored. You can use your mobile phone to take a nice picture of your daughters, but it cannot compare with the work of professional photographers. 31. The author mentioned Deep Dream Generator to ______. A. introduce the topic of AI image generation B. share the author’s personal experience C. promote the latest AI image generator D. describe the author’s dream device 32. What can we learn from the passage? A. AI image generation lacks the true creative process of human art. B. AI image generators are unable to fulfill the complex prompts. C. Children’s illustrators are eager to adopt AI image generation. D. Human emotional input can be added in AI image generation. 33. What does the word “devaluation” underlined in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Improvement in quality. B. Decrease in worth. C. Drop in creativity. D. Change in style. 34. What is the author’s attitude towards AI image generation? A. Satisfied. B. Worried. C. Optimistic. D. Puzzled. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Exploration has always been a fundamental part of human nature. From the ancient voyages of discovery to modern space missions, our curiosity drives us to take risks into the unknown. ____35____ Whether they explore a dense forest, dive into the depths of the ocean, or hike across a vast desert, each expedition offers unique challenges and rewards. One of the primary benefits of exploration is the opportunity to learn about the world and its diverse ecosystems. ____36____ This hands-on experience can provide a deeper understanding of the natural world, leading to greater environmental awareness and conservation efforts. For example, underwater exploration reveals the beauty of coral reefs and the importance of protecting their habitats. ____37____ When coming into new territories, explorers often encounter different cultures, traditions, and ways of life. These encounters can lead to valuable cultural exchanges, which can broaden perspectives, break down stereotypes, and promote mutual understanding and respect among people from diverse backgrounds. Physical and mental resilience (抗逆力) are also developed through exploration. Explorers often face severe conditions and unexpected problems. Hiking through rugged areas, dealing with unpredictable weather, and navigating unfamiliar landscapes all require strength, endurance, and competence. ____38____ However, exploration is not without its risks. Navigating uncharted territories can expose explorers to various dangers, such as extreme weather conditions, wild animals, and physical injuries. ____39____ Thorough planning, proper training, and the use of appropriate safety equipment are essential to minimize risks and ensure a successful and safe exploration journey. A. Exploration also has significant cultural implications. B. It can also be a platform for scientific research and discovery. C. Therefore, it is important for explorers to make necessary preparations. D. As a result, exploration has become a popular activity for adventure seekers. E. It allows us to witness firsthand the wonders of nature and different habitats. F. In recent years, more people are turning to exploration to escape the unknown problems. G. Overcoming these challenges helps build confidence and improve skills to solve problems. 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 I’ll admit it — when someone asks me how I’m doing, the first word that usually comes out of my mouth is “busy”. It seems that “busy” has become the new normal. The desire to keep busy is an essential part of being human. People love feeling important and needed, which is what “busy” provides. So they make packed schedules to keep themselves busy. But are you really as busy as you think you are? Most career-driven people would probably guess they spend most of their time at work. But author Laura Vanderkam argues that that’s probably not the case. In her new book, I Know How She Does It, 143 mothers with six-figure jobs recorded what they did for every hour of one week. Surprisingly, these “busy” women worked only 44 hours a week on average and slept nearly eight hours a night, leaving 70 hours per week for other things. The result apparently reveals that people think they are busy, but in fact their time is not highly occupied by work. Why? The reason lies in the fact that negative events tend to stand out in the mind more than positive events. People overestimate (高估) the things they don’t want to do — work, housework — and underestimate the things they do want to do. Simply tracking how you spend your time is the first step in breaking free of the “busy” trap. It’s a lot harder to lie to ourselves when we see where the time goes, right there in black and white. It is also necessary to recognize that you’re responsible for your time management, and stop telling people how busy you are. Ask yourself: “Am I truly overworking?” Pause when someone asks “How are you?” — truly reflect instead of saying “busy”. 40. Why do people like to keep themselves busy? __________________________________________________________________________________ 41. What does the result of the record show? __________________________________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ➢To break free of your “busy” trap, you should record how you spend your time, realize your responsibility in time management and stop overworking. __________________________________________________________________________________ 43. How will you manage your time for the coming summer holiday to avoid the “busy” trap?(In about 40 words) __________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节（20分） 44. 假设你是红星中学高一学生李华。你的英国好友Jim对科学探索感兴趣，发来邮件询问中国科学家的故事，请你分享你最敬佩的中国科学家的故事及敬佩原因。请你用英文给他回复，内容包括： 1. 该人物的身份和主要事迹； 2. 你敬佩该人物的主要原因。 注意：1. 词数100左右； 2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours Li Hua 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 房山区2024—2025学年度第二学期学业水平调研（二） 高一英语 本试卷共10页，满分100分，考试时长90分钟。考生务必将答案填涂或书写在答题卡上，在试卷上作答无效。考试结束后，将试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 知识运用（共两节，30分） 第一节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，共15分） 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 The incident happened near West 140th Street and Sacramento Avenue in Cleveland.

However, “Art feeds the soul but starves the body,” Mom always said. Her words kept coming to my mind and prevented me from making a decision. The watercolor brushes and the pre-medical application form on my desk seemed to gaze at me together. Then came the school career fair that changed everything. Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard asked us to list our “hidden skills”. My hand shook as I wrote “observing details”, something I’d learned from painting flowers. “That’s medical research’s most needed skill!” she said, sharing how a student turned science notes into textbook illustrations. For the first time, I realized that my two worlds didn’t feel so separate. The real surprise came during hospital volunteering. Watching surgeries, I noticed something — the steady hands of doctors reminded me of my brushwork. When a boy couldn’t explain his pain, I drew a fire-breathing dragon on his cast (石膏). “You made medicine speak,” the nurse said. Slowly, my drawing pads were filled with cells that looked like colored-glass art and X-rays arranged like abstract paintings. Mr. Dawson, our career counselor, helped me see the connection. On his whiteboard, my medical knowledge and art skills overlapped in a bright yellow circle labeled “Medical Illustration”. He showed me job listings I never knew about — people who draw pictures for science apps or 3D models of body parts for doctors to study. “Your ‘impractical’ skill makes you stand out,” he said, pointing to my dragon drawing now used in pain management workshops. From that day on, I had the answer in my heart about what I should be in the future. Today, my microscope and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that once hesitated between them now create 3D models of viruses for medical education. Sometimes I teach young patients to draw their feelings instead of describing them. My story isn’t about a choice between your heart or reality — it’s about how two passions can work together to make new possibilities. 24. Lora mother’s words ______. A. stopped Lora from making a living as an artist. B. had a bad impact on Lora’s class performance. C. made Lora hesitate between art and medicine. D. inspired Lora to choose medical illustration. 25. Dr. Eleanor Whitman helped Lora realize ______. A. hidden skills were hard to develop from painting. B. medical illustration required scientific knowledge. C. her flower paintings could be textbook illustrations. D. her art-related skills could be useful in medical research. 26. What led Lora to make a decision on job choice? A. The nurse’s praise. B. Her mother’s warning. C. The boy patient’s needs. D. Mr. Dawson’s introduction. 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. Opportunities favor the prepared. B. Follow the beaten track to success. C. Combining talents creates new chances. D. Never place all your eggs in one basket. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，本文讲述 Lora 在艺术与医学间纠结，妈妈的话使她难以抉择。学校职业招聘会及医院志愿服务让她发现两者联系，最后职业顾问道森先生点明医学插画领域将她的两种技能结合，让她明确方向，体现出结合才能可创造新机会。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Art feeds the soul but starves the body,” Mom always said. Her words kept coming to my mind and prevented me from making a decision. The watercolor brushes and the pre-medical application form on my desk seemed to gaze at me together.(妈妈总是说：“艺术滋养灵魂却难以维持生计”她的话不断在我脑海中浮现，让我无法做决定。我桌上的水彩画笔和医学预科申请表仿佛一起注视着我)”可知，洛拉妈妈的话让她在艺术和医学之间犹豫不决。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard asked us to list our “hidden skills”. My hand shook as I wrote “observing details”, something I’d learned from painting flowers. “That’s medical research’s most needed skill!” she said, sharing how a student turned science notes into textbook illustrations. For the first time, I realized that my two worlds didn’t feel so separate.(来自哈佛的埃莉诺·惠特曼博士让我们列出自己的“隐藏技能”。我颤抖着手写下“观察细节”，这是我从画花中学到的。她说：“这是医学研究最需要的技能！”她还分享了一个学生如何将科学笔记变成教科书插图。我第一次意识到，我这两个世界似乎没那么泾渭分明了)”可知，埃莉诺·惠特曼博士帮助洛拉意识到她与艺术相关的技能在医学研究中可能有用。故选D项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Mr. Dawson, our career counselor, helped me see the connection. On his whiteboard, my medical knowledge and art skills overlapped in a bright yellow circle labeled “Medical Illustration”. He showed me job listings I never knew about — people who draw pictures for science apps or 3D models of body parts for doctors to study. “Your ‘impractical’ skill makes you stand out,” he said, pointing to my dragon drawing now used in pain management workshops. From that day on, I had the answer in my heart about what I should be in the future.(我们的职业顾问道森先生帮助我看到了其中的联系。在他的白板上，我的医学知识和艺术技能在一个标有“医学插画”的亮黄色圆圈中重叠。他给我看了一些我从未知晓的工作岗位——为科学应用程序绘图或为医生绘制身体部位3D模型以供研究的人。他指着我现在用于疼痛管理研讨会的龙的画作说：“你看似‘不实用’的技能让你脱颖而出”从那天起，我心中就有了关于未来该从事什么职业的答案)”可知，是道森先生的介绍让洛拉在职业选择上做出了决定。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。文章围绕洛拉在艺术与医学之间的抉择展开，起初她因妈妈的话在两者间犹豫不决。在经历学校职业招聘会、医院志愿服务等事件后，她发现艺术技能如观察细节、绘画能力等能与医学研究、医疗工作产生联系。最后职业顾问道森先生指出医学插画领域将她的医学知识和艺术技能相结合，使她明确未来方向，创造了新的可能性。这表明将不同的才能结合起来，能够开创出全新的机会。故选C 项。 C There’s a reason for the phrase “the eyes are the window to the soul.” You don’t have to be a psychologist to know that the eyes communicate a lot of information. And a recent study reveals how humans use their eyes to communicate without words. In the future, this line of research could lead to a better understanding of how people with conditions that affect social skills. “We try to find the reason for why our brain engages with social information differently,” said Ristic, a professor of psychology at McGill University in Canada and the senior author of the study, which was published online in September. In the research, Ristic and her colleagues were interested in understanding whether people respond to intentional eye movements differently than they do to unintentional eye movements. First, they recorded people sitting in front of a screen and moving their eyes in response to prompts (提示词) on that screen. For instance, the individuals were sometimes prompted to move their eyes left or right—their choice—and other times, they were clearly directed to look one way or the other. Next, the researchers invited about 80 participants to watch these recordings, which were cut just before the people in the video actually moved their eyes. In each video clip, the participants were asked to predict which way each person would glance: left or right. “They were faster to make these decisions when the looks were intentional,” Ristic said. This difference in prediction speed was a matter of a few milliseconds, but it revealed that people process intentional and unintentional stares differently. The researchers analyzed their video recordings to figure out what participants might be seeing that would help them more quickly predict eye motion before a person intentionally shifted their stare. To the naked eye, it didn’t look like the recorded individuals were moving at all. But in a close analysis, the researchers found that there was more motion around the eye area before someone chose to move their stare versus when they were told which way to look. These tiny movements might have been a “tell”. “We guess based on this that these very subtle motion signals are communicated very quickly to indicate intentionally to others and that our system as the observer is very sensitive to that,” Ristic said. The next step in the research will be to use more precise eye-tracking techniques to understand these subtle signals. The team plans to conduct follow-up studies with participants who have a condition that affects social skills, such as autism (自闭症). In these neurodevelopmental disorders, people may struggle to notice and interpret social signals. “This is one of the key questions in the autism world,” Ristic said. “Where is the system working differently, and in which aspects?” 28. Why did Ristic conduct the study? A. To prove that the eyes are the window to the soul. B. To find out why people can know intentions from stares. C. To explore why brains handle social information in different ways. D. To confirm that eyes are more sensitive in the communication system. 29. According to Paragraph 6, what might the tiny movements have told? A. People’s intentional stares. B. People’s video recordings. C. People’s social conditions. D. People’s naked eyes. 30. According to the passage the study may ______. A. help understand social challenges in autism. B. improve communication efficiency. C. find signs of social skill disorders. D. perfect eye-tracking techniques. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了加拿大麦吉尔大学心理学教授Ristic主导的一项研究。该研究旨在探索大脑处理社会信息方式不同的原因，通过对比人们对有意和无意眼球运动的反应发现，人们预测有意注视的速度更快，且有意注视前眼部区域的微小运动可作为信号。后续研究将采用更精确眼动追踪技术，针对自闭症等影响社交技能的病症展开，有望助力理解此类病症中的社交挑战。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“We try to find the reason for why our brain engages with social information differently,” said Ristic,(里斯蒂奇说：“我们试图找出我们的大脑以不同方式处理社会信息的原因”)”可知，里斯蒂奇进行这项研究是为了探索为什么大脑以不同方式处理社会信息。故选C项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“The researchers analyzed their video recordings to figure out what participants might be seeing that would help them more quickly predict eye motion before a person intentionally shifted their stare. To the naked eye, it didn’t look like the recorded individuals were moving at all. But in a close analysis, the researchers found that there was more motion around the eye area before someone chose to move their stare versus when they were told which way to look. These tiny movements might have been a “tell”.(研究人员分析了他们的视频记录，试图弄清楚参与者可能看到了什么，使得他们能在他人有意转移视线之前，更快地预测其眼部动作。肉眼看上去，被记录的人似乎根本没有动。但经过仔细分析，研究人员发现，与被指示看向某个方向相比，当人们自主选择转移视线之前，其眼部周围的动作更多。这些微小动作可能就是一种 “信号”。）”以及第七段“ “We guess based on this that these very subtle motion signals are communicated very quickly to indicate intentionally to others and that our system as the observer is very sensitive to that,” Ristic said.”(里斯蒂奇说：“基于此，我们猜测这些非常微妙的运动信号会非常迅速地传达出去，有意地向他人表明，而我们作为观察者的系统对此非常敏感。”)”可知，这些微小的运动可能表明人们的有意注视。故选A项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The team plans to conduct follow-up studies with participants who have a condition that affects social skills, such as autism (自闭症). In these neurodevelopmental disorders, people may struggle to notice and interpret social signals. “This is one of the key questions in the autism world,” Ristic said. “Where is the system working differently, and in which aspects?”(研究团队计划针对患有影响社交技能病症（比如自闭症）的参与者开展后续研究。在这些神经发育障碍疾病中，患者可能难以察觉和解读社交信号。“这是自闭症领域的关键问题之一，” 里斯蒂奇说道，“该系统在哪些方面运作不同，又是在哪些环节出现差异呢？”)”可知，这项研究可能有助于理解自闭症中的社交挑战。故选A项。 D “Woman reading book, under a night sky, dreamy atmosphere.” I type into Deep Dream Generator’s Text 2 Dream feature. In less than a minute, an image is returned to me showing what I’ve described. Welcome to the world of AI image generation (生成), where you can create what on the surface looks like top-rank artwork using just a few text prompts. But closer examination shows strangeness. The face of the woman in my image has very strange features, and appears to be holding various books. And, while I did feel excited at seeing an image appear, I didn’t have any creative satisfaction. AI image generation could impact everything from film to graphic novels and more. Children’s illustrators were quick to raise concerns about the technology. They say AI-generated art is the exact opposite of what art is believed to be. Basically, art is translating what you feel inside into something that exists outside. Whatever form it takes, true art is about the creative process much more than it’s about the final piece. And simply pressing a button to generate an image is not a creative process. Beyond creativity, there are deeper issues. To create images from prompts, AI generators rely on databases of already existing art and text. This could lead to the creation of images that purposely copy the style of other artists, without their agreement. There is an argument that AI generators work no differently to humans when it comes to being influenced by others’ work. However, a human artist is adding emotion and details into the mix. AI doesn’t do the same — it can only copy. The increasing use of AI will also lead to devaluation of the work of artists. People may think that their AI-generated “work” is as acceptable as that created by someone who has spent a career making art. It’s wrong, of course. The skills, effort, and vision of human artists shouldn’t be ignored. You can use your mobile phone to take a nice picture of your daughters, but it cannot compare with the work of professional photographers. 31. The author mentioned Deep Dream Generator to ______. A. introduce the topic of AI image generation B. share the author’s personal experience C. promote the latest AI image generator D. describe the author’s dream device 32. What can we learn from the passage? A. AI image generation lacks the true creative process of human art. B. AI image generators are unable to fulfill the complex prompts. C. Children’s illustrators are eager to adopt AI image generation. D. Human emotional input can be added in AI image generation. 33. What does the word “devaluation” underlined in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Improvement in quality. B. Decrease in worth. C. Drop in creativity. D. Change in style. 34. What is the author’s attitude towards AI image generation? A. Satisfied. B. Worried. C. Optimistic. D. Puzzled. 【答案】31. A 32. A 33. B 34. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了AI图像生成技术的兴起、AI技术对人类艺术创造力的影响、潜在的问题以及对艺术家作品价值的冲击，作者对此表示了担忧。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段““Woman reading book, under a night sky, dreamy atmosphere.” I type into Deep Dream Generator’s Text 2 Dream feature. In less than a minute, an image is returned to me showing what I’ve described. (“夜空下，女人读书，梦幻的氛围。”我在Deep Dream Generator的Text 2 Dream功能中输入。不到一分钟，系统就返回给我一张显示我所描述内容的图片)”以及第二段“Welcome to the world of AI image generation (生成), where you can create what on the surface looks like top-rank artwork using just a few text prompts.(欢迎来到AI图像生成的世界，在这里，你只需几个文本提示就能创作出表面上看似一流的艺术作品)”可知，作者提到自己用Deep Dream Generator创作图片是为了引出下文将要讨论的AI图像生成这一主题。故选A项。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Basically, art is translating what you feel inside into something that exists outside. Whatever form it takes, true art is about the creative process much more than it’s about the final piece. And simply pressing a button to generate an image is not a creative process.(从本质上讲，艺术是将你内心的感受转化为外在存在的东西。无论它采取什么形式，真正的艺术更多的是关于创作过程，而不是最终的作品。而简单地按下一个按钮来生成图像并不是一个创作过程)”可知，AI图像生成缺乏人类艺术真正的创作过程。故选A项。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“People may think that their AI-generated “work” is as acceptable as that created by someone who has spent a career making art.(人们可能认为他们AI生成的“作品”和那些花了一辈子时间创作艺术的人的作品一样可以被接受)”可知，人们可能会认为AI生成的作品和人类艺术家的作品一样有价值，结合常识可推知，既然AI生成的作品和人类艺术家的作品一样有价值，那么AI的广泛使用就会导致艺术家作品的价值降低，故“devaluation”意为“价值的降低”，与B项“Decrease in worth.”意思一致。故选B项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“And simply pressing a button to generate an image is not a creative process.(而简单地按下一个按钮来生成图像并不是一个创作过程)”、第四段“Beyond creativity, there are deeper issues.(除了创造力之外，还有更深层次的问题)”以及最后一段“The increasing use of AI will also lead to devaluation of the work of artists.(AI的日益使用也将导致艺术家作品的贬值)”可推知，作者对AI图像生成持担忧态度。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Exploration has always been a fundamental part of human nature.

It seems that “busy” has become the new normal. The desire to keep busy is an essential part of being human. People love feeling important and needed, which is what “busy” provides. So they make packed schedules to keep themselves busy. But are you really as busy as you think you are? Most career-driven people would probably guess they spend most of their time at work. But author Laura Vanderkam argues that that’s probably not the case. In her new book, I Know How She Does It, 143 mothers with six-figure jobs recorded what they did for every hour of one week. Surprisingly, these “busy” women worked only 44 hours a week on average and slept nearly eight hours a night, leaving 70 hours per week for other things. The result apparently reveals that people think they are busy, but in fact their time is not highly occupied by work. Why? The reason lies in the fact that negative events tend to stand out in the mind more than positive events. People overestimate (高估) the things they don’t want to do — work, housework — and underestimate the things they do want to do. Simply tracking how you spend your time is the first step in breaking free of the “busy” trap. It’s a lot harder to lie to ourselves when we see where the time goes, right there in black and white. It is also necessary to recognize that you’re responsible for your time management, and stop telling people how busy you are. Ask yourself: “Am I truly overworking?” Pause when someone asks “How are you?” — truly reflect instead of saying “busy”. 40.

How will you manage your time for the coming summer holiday to avoid the “busy” trap?(In about 40 words) __________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】40. Because they love feeling important and needed. 41. The “busy” women didn’t spend as much time on work as they thought, with 44 hours of work per week on average and 70 hours left for other things. 42. 错误部分：“stop overworking”。解释：文章强调的是要正确认识自己的时间分配，并非停止过度工作，而是要反思自己是否真的过度工作，合理安排时间。 43. 示例：I’ll make a detailed schedule for the summer holiday, including study, exercise and entertainment time, and stick to it to avoid being too busy. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人们为何总感觉自己很忙，并通过研究揭示了人们实际的时间分配情况，最后提出了如何摆脱“忙碌”陷阱的建议。 【40题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段中“The desire to keep busy is an essential part of being human. People love feeling important and needed, which is what “busy” provides.(保持忙碌的欲望是人类本质的一部分。人们喜欢感觉自己很重要，被需要，而“忙碌”正能提供这种感觉)”可知，人们喜欢让自己忙碌是因为他们喜欢感觉自己很重要，被需要。故答案为：Because they love feeling important and needed. 【41题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段中“In her new book, I Know How She Does It, 143 mothers with six-figure jobs recorded what they did for every hour of one week. Surprisingly, these “busy” women worked only 44 hours a week on average and slept nearly eight hours a night, leaving 70 hours per week for other things.(在她的新书《我知道她是怎么做到的》中，143位年薪六位数的母亲记录了一周中每个小时的活动。令人惊讶的是，这些“忙碌”的女性平均每周只工作44小时，每晚睡近8小时，每周剩下70小时做其他事情)”可知，记录结果显示这些“忙碌”的女性并没有像她们想象的那样把大部分时间花在工作上，而是平均每周只工作44小时，每晚睡近8小时，每周剩下70小时做其他事情。故答案为：The “busy” women didn’t spend as much time on work as they thought, with 44 hours of work per week on average and 70 hours left for other things. 【42题详解】 考查细节理解。根据最后一段中“Simply tracking how you spend your time is the first step in breaking free of the “busy” trap. (简单地追踪你如何分配时间是摆脱“忙碌”陷阱的第一步)”和“It is also necessary to recognize that you’re responsible for your time management, and stop telling people how busy you are. Ask yourself: “Am I truly overworking?”(同样有必要认识到，你要对自己的时间管理负责，并且不要告诉别人你有多忙。问问自己：“我真的工作过度了吗？”)”可知，摆脱“忙碌”陷阱的第一步是追踪你如何分配时间，认识到你要对自己的时间管理负责，并且不要告诉别人你有多忙，反思自己是否真的工作过度了，而不是停止过度工作，即“stop overworking”。故答案为：错误部分：“stop overworking”。解释：文章强调的是要正确认识自己的时间分配，并非停止过度工作，而是要反思自己是否真的过度工作，合理安排时间。 【43题详解】 考查推理判断。根据最后一段中“Simply tracking how you spend your time is the first step in breaking free of the “busy” trap. It’s a lot harder to lie to ourselves when we see where the time goes, right there in black and white. It is also necessary to recognize that you’re responsible for your time management, and stop telling people how busy you are. Ask yourself: “Am I truly overworking?”(简单地追踪你如何分配时间是摆脱“忙碌”陷阱的第一步。当我们看到时间都花在了哪里，明明白白地摆在那里时，我们就很难对自己撒谎了。同样有必要认识到，你要对自己的时间管理负责，并且不要告诉别人你有多忙。问问自己：“我真的工作过度了吗？”)”可推知，为了摆脱“忙碌”陷阱，我们应该制定一个详细的时间表，包括学习、锻炼和娱乐时间，并坚持下去。故答案为：I’ll make a detailed schedule for the summer holiday, including study, exercise and entertainment time, and stick to it to avoid being too busy. 第二节（20分） 44. 假设你是红星中学高一学生李华。你的英国好友Jim对科学探索感兴趣，发来邮件询问中国科学家的故事，请你分享你最敬佩的中国科学家的故事及敬佩原因。请你用英文给他回复，内容包括： 1. 该人物的身份和主要事迹； 2. 你敬佩该人物的主要原因。 注意：1. 词数100左右； 2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jim, I’m glad to share with you the story of Yuan Longping, a great Chinese scientist known as the “Father of Hybrid Rice”.
