B Friends Yuri Williams and Rodney Smith Jr. spend the weeks leading up to Christmas crossing the country.They visit kids who are sick or disabled, arriving with plenty of toys. In past years, Williams has dressed as various superheroes, while Smith dresses up as a Christmas fairy. Though Williams has been spreading joy this way for years, the stimulus came from a joyless place. In 2009, he lost his mother to cancer and fell into a five-year depression. But he dug himself out by honoring his mother’s memory through charitable acts, including collecting gifts for children with special needs. Williams launched his nonprofit, A Future SuperHero and Friends, in 2018. His goal is to bring smiles to children with health challenges, including those fighting life-threatening conditions. “He was the first person to put a smile on AJ’s face,” says Katrina Morris about her son, who was diagnosed with cancer at the age of two. “I will never forget that day.” Williams and Smith start their gift-giving journey by driving through the 48 states before flying to Alaska and Hawaii. Along the way, they stock up on toys, funded by donations through the Future SuperHero website. People nominate families for the pair to visit by filling out an online form, explaining why the family deserves a visit. But they often dip into Williams’s own savings as well. Even more important than the gifts they bring, Williams and Smith spend time with the people who need it most — and that’s not just the children. “The parents seem more excited than the kids sometimes,” Williams told KTVQ News after a visit to Billings, Montana, last year. The pair say they want to make sure families facing tough battles never feel alone. It’s what keeps them going, even when they barely get any sleep in the process. “Every day, I get to wake up and do what I love,” Smith says. “I can’t go wrong with that.” “I don’t look to get paid to do this,” Williams adds. “It’s just healing for me for losing my mother, just keeping her name alive by doing this.” 24. What motivated Willams to start his charitable work? A. The need of relieving his depression. B The wish to inspire others to volunteer. C. The desire for honoring his late mother. D. The hope of gaining support for his nonprofit. 25. What does the underlined word “nominate” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Favour. B. Invite. C. Register. D. Recommend. 26. Why do Williams and Smith spend time with families during visits? A. To deliver gifts to children. B. To make the families feel cared for. C. To understand the families’ struggles. D. To raise money for their organization. 27. How does Williams feel about his work? A It is exhausting and brings him money. B. It is challenging and makes him social. C. It is comforting and gives him purpose. D. It is enjoyable and wins him friendship. C Polar bears have a hidden-in-plain-sight superpower that has long been known to Indigenous peoples of the Arctic, but only now has been noticed and studied by scientists. Bodil Holst at the University of Bergen in Norway is a physicist who studies the properties of surfaces. Her interest in polar bear fur began when, while watching a TV quiz programme, she saw that the bears hardly show upon infrared (红外线的) cameras because they are so well insulated (被隔热的). That means the temperature of their outer fur is below freezing, Holst realised, but she had never seen a polar bear in wildlife films that was coated with ice, even after swimming in sub-zero waters. “And then I thought, well, how come freezing is not a problem?” she says. This is, after all, a problem for many other land mammals in cold environments. Holst asked researchers at the Norwegian Polar Institute if they knew why polar bear fur doesn’t ice up. None did, but they decided to investigate together. Holst and her colleagues obtained samples of polar bear fur from the wild and compared them with human hair. They found that the force required to remove ice from polar bear hair was a quarter of what was needed for human hair. Washing polar bear fur removed its ice resistance, suggesting that the oily coating on the hairs, known as sebum (皮脂), is the key to its properties. This substance lacks squalene (角鲨烯) but contains some unusual fatty acids which could be unique to polar bears, but we need further studies to look at the composition of animal sebum, says Holst. Arctic peoples have traditionally used the fur in ways that make use of its ice-resistant properties. For instance, Inuit hunters in Greenland have placed small pieces of polar bear fur under the legs of the benches to stop them sticking to ice. They also strapped polar bear fur to the soles of boots while tracking animals, to avoid the noise made by ice-coated surfaces. Holst’s team is now exploring potential applications, such as creating environmentally friendly ski waxes that contain no long-lasting fluorocarbon (碳氟化合物) currently used to prevent icing. A hair wax based on polar bear sebum could also help people who work in cold environments. “I had not thought about that application, but absolutely, that should work,” says Holst. 28. What made Holst curious about polar bear fur? A. Polar bear’s low inner body temperature. B. Polar bear’s invisibility on infrared cameras. C. Polar bear’s resistance to sub-zero environments. D. Polar bear’s appearance in a TV quiz programme. 29. How did Holst and her colleagues carry out their research? A. By keeping track of polar bears in the Arctic. B By contrasting polar bear fur with human hair. C. By removing polar bear fur’s warming function. D. By observing Arctic peoples using polar bear fur. 30. What contributes to the ice resistance of polar bear fur? A. Its physical properties. B. Its similarity to human hair. C. Its oily coating called sebum. D. Its unique squalene composition. 31. Which of the following is the potential application of polar bear fur? A. Designing non-stick boots. B. Making noise-reducing coats. C. Creating heat-resistant benches. D. Developing ice-free hair products. D People have been using OpenAI’s GPT-4o to generate Ghibli-style illustrations, landscapes, portraits and even events from history and current affairs. While it may seem entertaining, it could be a key test for copyright (版权) . Unlike with some previous AI controversies, the company is not promising to add new controls to stop its generator from ripping off (窃取) an artistic style or to stop people from using controversial subjects. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s only concern seems to be the stress it’s putting on the company’s GPUs as the number of weekly active users rose by 11%. “It’s super fun seeing people love images in ChatGPT... But our GPUs are melting,” he wrote. Like some other companies, OpenAI applied restrictions in previous versions of its AI image generators to prevent imitations of the styles of living artists or the portraits of real people. but GPT-4o’s ability to clearly imitate the Ghibli style would appear to suggest OpenAI has cast such measures aside. In a technical paper, OpenAI claims that it’s still taking a “conservative approach” to image rights by including a refusal that activates “when a user attempts to generate an image in the style of a living artist”. But it seems it’s now only applying that to individual artists, not studios. So while GPT-4o should, in theory, refuse to generate an image if the prompt (提示词) asks for the style of Hiyao Mayazaki, it will accept a prompt that asks for the style of Studio Ghibli. The change is curious given that companies can also own copyright and they’re more likely to have the resources to be able to take legal action. It may be that OpenAI believes that it would be more difficult for a studio to prove ownership over a style. Legal experts argue that a “style” cannot be copyrighted, so the question is whether GPT-4o images use elements of existing works of art. OpenAI now has license arrangements with some companies to allow it to use their content to train its AI models. There has been no statement from either OpenAI or Studio Ghibli about whether this is the case. 32. What is Sam Altman’s worry about GPT-4o? A. Its impact on copyright issues. B. Its GPU pressure from user growth. C. Its inability to control the art imitation. D. Its failure to block controversial topics. 33. What restriction does GPT-4o apply to images? A. It forbids copying studio styles. B. It bans imitating specific living artists. C. It limits the number of images per day. D. It prevents the artworks of real people. 34. Why is GPT-4o’s generation of Ghibli-style images allowed? A. Studio Ghibli can hardly prove its copyright. B. OpenAI has agreements with Studio Ghibli. C. Ghibli-style images boost user engagement. D. Studio Ghibli doesn’t take any legal action. 35. What is the passage mainly about? A. GPT-4o raises art copyright issues. B. OpenAI faces tech challenges with GPT-4o. C. OpenAI removes all restrictions on AI imagery. D. AI-generated art is dominating the artistic world. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 You choose to eat healthily.

They walked to school arm in arm, whispered secrets at midnight during countless sleepovers, and faced every challenge of high school together. Sophia, with her quiet creativity, poured her soul into a blue leather-bound notebook filled with poems, stories, and letters to her late mother. Jessica, bright and mischievous, was the one who could always make her laugh, even on the hardest days. Then, one morning, the notebook vanished (消失) without a trace. Sophia distinctly remembered placing it carefully between textbooks in her locker the previous afternoon. But when she opened the metal door the next day, the space where it should have been sat empty. A cold dread washed over her-that notebook contained her most private thoughts, words too personal to share with anyone else. Jessica, ever the optimist, tried to reassure her. “Maybe you’re careless enough to leave it behind in the library reading room. After all, you always stay there. Don’t worry. It’ll turn up,” she said with a playful grin, nudging Sophia’s shoulder. “Maybe I stole it. Wouldn’t that be funny?” Sophia managed a weak smile but the casual remark planted an uneasy seed in her mind. Days passed, and the notebook didn’t reappear. Sophia retraced her steps, checked lost-and-found bins, even asked teachers if anyone had turned it in. Nothing. Meanwhile, All the while, Jessica’s usual jokes began sounding less comforting and more unsettling. That offhand comment about taking it kept echoing in Sophia’s thoughts. Why would she say that? She started noticing little things — the way Jessica sometimes lingered near her locker, the way her gaze flicked away when Sophia mentioned the notebook. A seed of doubt took root, spreading like ivy, wrapping around their friendship. Sophia stopped waiting for Jessica after class. She ate lunch alone, burying herself in books to avoid conversation. Jessica couldn’t miss the growing distance. Her usual spark dimmed, her cheerful chatter replaced by hesitant silences. One afternoon in the library, she slid into the chair beside Sophia. “You don’t actually think I’d do that, do you?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Sophia kept her eyes fixed on her book, the silence between them heavier than any words could be. Mr. Thompson, the English teacher, walked in holding a familiar blue notebook. ____________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ The bell rang, and students streamed out of the classroom. _____________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 英语试题答案8月6日 听力1-5 BACBC 6-10 BCAAC 11-15 CABAB 16-20 ABBCA A篇 21-23 ABC B篇24-27 CDBC C篇28-31BBCD D篇32-35BBAA 七选五36-40 CAFDE 完型 41-45 DBACD 46-50 BCDBA 51-55 DCAAC 填词 56. recognition 57. as 58. are used 59. renewable 60. achieving 61. which 62. what 63. an 64. completed 65. annually 应用文 Dear Mike, I hope this email finds you well. Thank you for sharing me with your worries about using AI for English essays. After careful consideration, here is what I think. While AI boosts efficiency and language skills, relying too heavily on it risks slowing your growth. For one thing, writing isn’t just creating text—it’s a journey to develop critical thinking, creativity, and self-expression. For another, letting AI draft essays for you takes away chances to promote your ability to improve vocabulary and polish sentences. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you should organize your ideas first, and then turn to AI for grammar checks or inspiration, which enables you to develop skills while using tech’s benefits. Never forget: AI amplifies your potential but can’t replace your originality. Stay curious, and trust your potential! Feel free to discuss it further. Yours, Li Hua Mr. Thompson, the English teacher, walked in holding a familiar blue notebook. His eyes sparkled with excitement behind his round glasses as he held it up and announced, “This was found in the library reading room.” Sophia’s heart skipped a beat — it was her journal, filled with months of heartfelt writing. She reached out and took the precious notebook, running her fingers over the slightly worn cover before flipping through the pages of perfectly preserved poems and stories. Each entry transported her back to the moment she had written it. When her eyes met Jessica’s, she quickly looked down, overcome with guilt. The bell rang, and students streamed out of the classroom. Sophia spotted Jessica already halfway down the hallway, walking faster than usual. Without hesitation, she rushed forward and wrapped her arms around her friend. Jessica stiffened for a moment before relaxing into the embrace. “I’m sorry,” Sophia whispered into her shoulder. Jessica pulled back, her eyes glistening, and gave Sophia a light punch on the arm. “Just don’t be so impulsive next time,” she teased. Arm in arm, they stepped into the crisp autumn afternoon, their laughter mingling with the rustling leaves, their friendship restored. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
