The Poetry Pharmacy Situated in Oxford Street, the store sells books and poems as “prescriptions (处方)”. Their books are arranged on shelves covering different needs like “Comfort,” “Words of Love,” and “Calm”. It also has a set of amazing “medicine bottles” filled with capsules containing poetry related to a particular theme, like “Chill pills”, “Joy” and “Social Media Detox”. Visitors can receive poetry pill “prescriptions” based on how they’re feeling. Hatchards Hatchards, the oldest bookstore (Piccadilly) in London, was founded by John Hatchard in 1797, and today, it still stands as an amazing five-story bookshop. It contains most of the titles that any bookworm could possibly want, and even carries newly-signed first editions and special editions of different books. The store delivers nothing but exceptional quality through its collections — even the British royal family buy their books from it. Books for Cooks Lying in Notting Hill, Books for Cooks sells various delicious titles on food, and also has a test kitchen or café at the back of its shop, where customers can try the recipes inside the store’s books, made with care by its chefs. Every day, the team will choose different recipes from among the many books in the shop, cooking and serving them to customers. Daunt Books Established in the 1990s, the bookstore (Marylebone High Street) offers a diverse selection of books that they arrange by country or region, allowing guests to actually go on a worldwide adventure. It’s a space made for the adventurous at heart, allowing readers to discover new voices and experiences from different places. 21. Where is the bookstore providing emotional support through its “prescriptions”? A. In Piccadilly. B. In Oxford Street. C. In Notting Hill. D. In Marylebone High Street. 22. Which bookstore holds the longest history in London? A. Hatchards. B. Books for Cooks. C. Daunt Books. D. The Poetry Pharmacy. 23. What is a feature of Books for Cooks? A. It was founded in 1990. B. It arranges books by title. C. It offers cooking experiences. D. It is known for its famous chefs. B At thirteen, I was in my secondary school. I was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD注意缺陷多动障碍). It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not. In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write about it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.” She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are not different from your classmates, young man.” I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I got upset. I had to take it home. In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots (点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind. Wasn’t I the “blind” one in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts flowed and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others: I just needed a quieter place. Now that Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up? I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day—with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “See what you can do when you keep trying.” I was grateful to Mrs. Smith. It was she that made me realize that I didn’t lack anything. I am not different from others. 24. Why did the author fail to finish the reading in class? A. He had poor reading skills. B. He was tired of literature. C. He had ADHD. D. He wanted to take the task home. 25. What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage? A. He was nearsighted. B. He was well­-educated. C He was poor. D. He was very creative. 26. What was Mrs. Smith’s attitude to the author at the end of the story? A. Angry. B. Impatient. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent. 27. What does the passage mainly want to tell us? A. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts. B. Teachers can open up a new world to students. C. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges. D. The blind should be treated with respect. C A dropped bag of chips disturbed a cave ecosystem in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico. This cave is almost cut off from the outside world, so introducing anything foreign can be harmful. “Things in the damp cave get wet quickly,” says park guide Ashley. The snack attracts tiny organisms, causing unwanted growth. Soon, small animals like crickets and spiders came to eat, spreading the pollution. Rangers found the bag within hours. “But that can be all it takes,” says Ashley. “I’m sure some crickets got a bit of the snack.” Over 500 million people visit American public lands each year, creating many chances to harm wild places. “When you look at the numbers, it’s incredible,” says Watts, head of the Leave No Trace Center in Colorado, an organization aimed at minimizing human impact on nature. Food waste takes a long time to break down, especially in certain areas. “It takes much longer for an apple core to rot in a desert than in a forest,” says Blye, a teacher at the University of Utah. Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and changes their behavior with sometimes disastrous results. Bears who taste garbage and become a threat to humans may have to be put down. “Bears can get used to unnatural food in three weeks,” says Watts. “Everyone loses in this case.” Biological waste is also problematic. Dog waste brings new bacteria into the ecosystem and scares away deer. Meanwhile, human waste and toilet paper introduces dangerous bacteria into water sources. In national parks, trails (小路) are designed to avoid sensitive areas. Stepping off the trail, even for a quick photo, can scare wildlife away. Impacts from many visitors result in long-term damage to nature and wildlife. But people don’t think of that when they see the perfect photo opportunity. “It’s just such a hard thing to resist,” says Blye. The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn’t obvious. “It’s easy to think, oh, there’s wildflowers over there. I shouldn’t step on that,” says Blye, but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic organisms essential to desert life provide many benefits, including reducing the risk of erosion (侵蚀) and helping absorb rainfall, and can take hundreds of years to return to its original state. 28. What does Ashley mean by “But that can be all it takes.”? A. The rangers’ work is efficient. B. The damage has been done. C The cleanup takes a long time. D. The pollution has spread widely. 29. What is a result of foreign waste in public lands? A. A shift in animal behavior. B. A shortage of food supplies. C. A decline in bacterial species. D. An increase in conflicts between animals. 30. Why does the writer mention wildflowers in paragraph 5? A. To praise their benefits to desert life. B. To highlight our ignorance of wildlife. C. To stress their significance for photography. D. To show our unawareness of nature’s sensitivity. 31. It is conveyed in this passage that we should ________. A. encourage wildlife protection B. leave no trace in the wild C. promote national park tourism D. restore ecological damage D A new study in the journal Scientific Reports finds AI chatbots can imitate famous poets so effectively that they can fool many human readers, and non-experts often can’t reliably distinguish between poems written by William Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, T.S. Eliot or ChatGPT-3.5. The researchers conducted two experiments: the first asked participants to determine whether a poem was written by a human or AI, and the second assessed the quality of the poems. In both cases, the AI-generated poems either passed as human-written or even outperformed those by human writers. Participants, who were unaware of the true origins of the poems, rated the AI-generated poems higher on average, considering them more inspiring, meaningful, moving, and profound than the human-authored ones. So, how did this happen? Researchers believe the appeal of AI-generated poems lies in their simplicity and clarity. These poems better convey an image, mood, emotion, or theme to non-expert poetry readers. Consequently, participants might have misunderstood the complexity of human poetry as AI incoherence (不连贯性). Understanding human-authored poetry also requires deep and critical thinking. However, modern readers seem unwilling to engage in this kind of mental labor, preferring texts that offer “instant answers,” writes Andrew Dean, a literary scholar at Deakin University in Australia. Michele Elam, a senior fellow at Stanford’s Institute for Human-Centered AI, raised a key concern about how AI may shape people’s relationships with art. She argued that the issue isn’t whether AI-generated poetry can match or exceed human authenticity (真实性) but that we might lose sight of how art is connected to our lived experiences. “Literature, including poetry, is meaningful because it provides a way of naming and describing our realities,” Elam wrote in an email, “If we only see selected images and language in our social feeds, it could limit our ability to understand the world, remember the past, and imagine the future.” 32. What can we learn from the two experiments? A. Human poems are more creative than AI-generated poems. B. Many participants can distinguish AI-generated poems quickly. C. Only a small number of participants preferred AI-generated poems. D. AI-generated poems won higher praise than human poems on average. 33. Which of the following is a characteristic of AI-generated poems according to the passage? A. They are full of complex language. B. They are simple and clear in expression. C. They are hard to understand for non-experts. D. They demand a lot of critical thinking from readers. 34. The misunderstanding of human-authored poetry as AI-incoherence by participants may be due to ________. A. The inherent defects in human-authored poetry. B. The poor quality of the language used in human-authored poetry. C. The lack of proper education on appreciating poetry among participants. D. The participants’ habit of expecting simplicity, as AI-generated poems provided. 35. Which statement will Michele Elam probably agree with? A. AI is revolutionizing the way we appreciate literary works. B. AI-generated literature has challenged human writers’ abilities. C. AI-generated art helps enhance our understanding of the world. D. AI may lead to a disconnection between art and human experiences. 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。 How to Improve Your Memory​ Memory is an important part of our lives.

Every day after school, he would rush home to his favorite spot — a strong oak tree with a swing in the backyard to read. But today was different. He had a secret that made his heart race, but not in the good way. At school, during art class, Oliver accidentally spilled (泼洒) red paint on his friend Mia’s drawing. In panic, he lied, saying the paintbrush slipped. Deep down, he knew he had been careless, and the lie weighed heavily on him. Mia had been so excited about her drawing for the coming school art show. He worried he had ruined it. With a sigh, Oliver decided to take a walk to clear his mind. He wandered down the familiar path to Willow Creek Park. There, he saw Mr. Johnson, a retired headmaster. He had a kind smile that made Oliver feel at ease. “Hello, Oliver,” Mr. Johnson called, waving him over. “What brings you here on this fine day?” Oliver hesitated for a moment but then decided to share his burden. “I told a lie today,” he admitted everything to Mr. Johnson. “Honesty builds trust” Mr. Johnson advised gently, “while lies create walls between friends.” Oliver listened attentively, worrying that truth might hurt Mia. “Sometimes the truth may hurt, but it also solves the problem and makes things better,” Mr. Johnson added thoughtfully. “If you’re honest with Mia, you can work together to fix the drawing. Remember, friendship grows strong with trust.” Oliver nodded, feeling a spark of hope. Maybe telling the truth wouldn’t be as scary as he thought. The next day at school, the air was filled with excitement as the art show drew closer. Colorful banners decorated the halls, and students hurried to set up their displays. 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。 Paragraph 1: Oliver approached Mia, who was carefully improving her painting. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The day of the art show arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 河南省信阳高级中学北湖校区 2025-2026学年高二上期开学测试 英语试题 考生注意： 1.答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔分别填写在试题卷和答题纸规定的位置上。 2．答题时，请按照答题纸上“注意事项”的要求，在答题纸相应的位置上规范作答，在本试题卷上的作答一律无效。 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纸上。 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?

C 【解析】 【原文】M: I can hear 100 compliments and a single abuse, and what do I remember? The abuse. Unfortunately, the human brain always focuses on the negative. So how can we fight the brain’s negative bias? One of the best weapons is gratitude. So I started a project “Thanks a Thousand”. I learned dozens of lessons, but let me just focus on four today. Firstly, look up. I met a cashier Chung in a coffee shop. Chung said that the hardest part of her job is when customers don’t respect her at all. Because they’ll hand her their credit cards without looking up from their phones. So I’m going to take those two seconds, look at them and make eye contact when dealing with people. Alright, secondly, smell the roses and the dirt. I thanked this man Ed Kaufmann. Inspired by Ed, I decided to really let the coffee sit on my tongue for five seconds. Gratitude is about taking a moment and holding on to it as long as possible. Thirdly, find the hidden masterpieces all around you. Now, one of my favorite conversations was with the guy who invented my coffee cup lid, Doug Fleming. And finally, the last lesson I want to tell you is: practice six degrees of gratitude. My hope is that we use gratitude as a flame to action. Thank you a thousand for listening to my story. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Four Unique Bookstores in London worth Visiting If you are a reader planning a trip to London sometime soon, and are looking for a fresh view on books, here are four must-visit bookstores. The Poetry Pharmacy Situated in Oxford Street, the store sells books and poems as “prescriptions (处方)”. Their books are arranged on shelves covering different needs like “Comfort,” “Words of Love,” and “Calm”. It also has a set of amazing “medicine bottles” filled with capsules containing poetry related to a particular theme, like “Chill pills”, “Joy” and “Social Media Detox”. Visitors can receive poetry pill “prescriptions” based on how they’re feeling. Hatchards Hatchards, the oldest bookstore (Piccadilly) in London, was founded by John Hatchard in 1797, and today, it still stands as an amazing five-story bookshop. It contains most of the titles that any bookworm could possibly want, and even carries newly-signed first editions and special editions of different books. The store delivers nothing but exceptional quality through its collections — even the British royal family buy their books from it. Books for Cooks Lying in Notting Hill, Books for Cooks sells various delicious titles on food, and also has a test kitchen or café at the back of its shop, where customers can try the recipes inside the store’s books, made with care by its chefs. Every day, the team will choose different recipes from among the many books in the shop, cooking and serving them to customers. Daunt Books Established in the 1990s, the bookstore (Marylebone High Street) offers a diverse selection of books that they arrange by country or region, allowing guests to actually go on a worldwide adventure. It’s a space made for the adventurous at heart, allowing readers to discover new voices and experiences from different places. 21. Where is the bookstore providing emotional support through its “prescriptions”? A. In Piccadilly. B. In Oxford Street. C In Notting Hill. D. In Marylebone High Street. 22. Which bookstore holds the longest history in London? A. Hatchards. B. Books for Cooks. C. Daunt Books. D. The Poetry Pharmacy. 23. What is a feature of Books for Cooks? A. It was founded in 1990. B. It arranges books by title. C. It offers cooking experiences. D. It is known for its famous chefs. 【答案】21. B 22. A 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了伦敦四个独特的书店。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Poetry Pharmacy部分中的“Situated in Oxford Street, the store sells books and poems as “prescriptions (处方)”.(该书店位于牛津街，将书籍和诗歌当作“处方”出售。)”以及“Visitors can receive poetry pill “prescriptions” based on how they’re feeling. (访客可根据自身感受获得诗歌胶囊“处方”。)”可知，通过“处方”提供情感支持的书店是The Poetry Pharmacy，其位于牛津街。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Hatchards部分中的“Hatchards, the oldest bookstore (Piccadilly) in London, was founded by John Hatchard in 1797, and today, it still stands as an amazing five-story bookshop. (哈查兹书店是伦敦最古老的书店（位于皮卡迪利大街），由约翰·哈查德于1797年创立，如今，它仍是一家令人惊叹的五层楼高的书店。)”可知，Hatchards是伦敦历史最悠久的书店。故选A项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Books for Cooks部分中的“Lying in Notting Hill, Books for Cooks sells various delicious titles on food, and also has a test kitchen or café at the back of its shop, where customers can try the recipes inside the store’s books, made with care by its chefs. Every day, the team will choose different recipes from among the many books in the shop, cooking and serving them to customers. (烹饪书店位于诺丁山，出售各类与美食相关的精彩书籍，书店后方还设有一个实验厨房或咖啡馆，顾客可以在这里品尝到厨师精心制作的、出自店内书籍里的食谱美食。每天，团队都会从店内众多书籍中挑选不同的食谱，烹饪后提供给顾客。)”可知，Books for Cooks的特色是为顾客提供烹饪体验，即品尝书中食谱制作的美食。故选C项。 B At thirteen, I was in my secondary school. I was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD注意缺陷多动障碍). It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not. In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write about it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.” She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are not different from your classmates, young man.” I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I got upset. I had to take it home. In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots (点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind. Wasn’t I the “blind” one in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts flowed and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others: I just needed a quieter place. Now that Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up? I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day—with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “See what you can do when you keep trying.” I was grateful to Mrs. Smith. It was she that made me realize that I didn’t lack anything. I am not different from others. 24. Why did the author fail to finish the reading in class? A. He had poor reading skills. B. He was tired of literature. C. He had ADHD. D. He wanted to take the task home. 25. What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage? A. He was nearsighted. B. He was well­-educated. C. He was poor. D. He was very creative. 26. What was Mrs. Smith’s attitude to the author at the end of the story? A. Angry. B. Impatient. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent. 27. What does the passage mainly want to tell us? A. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts. B. Teachers can open up a new world to students. C. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges. D. The blind should be treated with respect. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者因患有注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）而在学校学习困难，但在一次文学课作业中，通过阅读盲人路易斯·布莱叶的故事受到启发，最终完成了作业并获得好评，从而意识到努力可以克服困难。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD注意缺陷多动障碍). It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.(我被诊断出患有注意缺陷多动障碍。这让我在学校的学习变得困难。当班上其他人都在专注于任务时，我却做不到。)”和第二段“Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.(史密斯老师，你看，医生说我注意力有问题。我可能做不到。)”可知，作者患有注意缺陷多动障碍，注意力无法集中，所以无法在课堂上完成阅读。故选C。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots (点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.(这是关于一个盲人路易斯·布莱叶的故事。他生活在一个盲人无法接受太多教育的时代。但路易斯没有放弃。相反，他发明了一种凸点阅读系统，为盲人打开了一个全新的知识世界。)”可知，路易斯·布莱叶虽然是个盲人，但他发明了布莱叶点字系统，为盲人打开了知识的大门，说明他很有创造力。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I was grateful to Mrs. Smith. It was she that made me realize that I didn’t lack anything. I am not different from others.(我很感激史密斯老师。是她让我意识到我并不缺少什么。我和其他人没有什么不同。)”和倒数第二段“At the bottom of the paper were these words: “See what you can do when you keep trying”.(在纸的底部写着：“看看你不断努力时能做什么”。)”可知，史密斯老师通过给作者的文章打A并写下鼓励的话语，表现出了对作者的支持和鼓励。故选C。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。文章讲述了作者因患有注意缺陷多动障碍而在学校学习困难，但在一次文学课作业中，通过阅读盲人路易斯·布莱叶的故事受到启发，意识到努力可以克服困难，最终完成了作业并获得好评的故事。文章最后一段提到“I was grateful to Mrs. Smith. It was she that made me realize that I didn’t lack anything. I am not different from others.(我很感激史密斯老师。是她让我意识到我并不缺少什么。我和其他人没有什么不同。)”可知，文章主要想告诉我们一个人可以通过努力找到克服困难的方法。故选A。 C A dropped bag of chips disturbed a cave ecosystem in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico. This cave is almost cut off from the outside world, so introducing anything foreign can be harmful. “Things in the damp cave get wet quickly,” says park guide Ashley. The snack attracts tiny organisms, causing unwanted growth. Soon, small animals like crickets and spiders came to eat, spreading the pollution. Rangers found the bag within hours. “But that can be all it takes,” says Ashley. “I’m sure some crickets got a bit of the snack.” Over 500 million people visit American public lands each year, creating many chances to harm wild places. “When you look at the numbers, it’s incredible,” says Watts, head of the Leave No Trace Center in Colorado, an organization aimed at minimizing human impact on nature. Food waste takes a long time to break down, especially in certain areas. “It takes much longer for an apple core to rot in a desert than in a forest,” says Blye, a teacher at the University of Utah. Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and changes their behavior with sometimes disastrous results. Bears who taste garbage and become a threat to humans may have to be put down. “Bears can get used to unnatural food in three weeks,” says Watts. “Everyone loses in this case.” Biological waste is also problematic. Dog waste brings new bacteria into the ecosystem and scares away deer. Meanwhile, human waste and toilet paper introduces dangerous bacteria into water sources. In national parks, trails (小路) are designed to avoid sensitive areas. Stepping off the trail, even for a quick photo, can scare wildlife away. Impacts from many visitors result in long-term damage to nature and wildlife. But people don’t think of that when they see the perfect photo opportunity. “It’s just such a hard thing to resist,” says Blye. The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn’t obvious. “It’s easy to think, oh, there’s wildflowers over there. I shouldn’t step on that,” says Blye, but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic organisms essential to desert life provide many benefits, including reducing the risk of erosion (侵蚀) and helping absorb rainfall, and can take hundreds of years to return to its original state. 28. What does Ashley mean by “But that can be all it takes.”? A. The rangers’ work is efficient. B. The damage has been done. C. The cleanup takes a long time. D. The pollution has spread widely. 29. What is a result of foreign waste in public lands? A. A shift in animal behavior. B. A shortage of food supplies. C. A decline in bacterial species. D. An increase in conflicts between animals. 30. Why does the writer mention wildflowers in paragraph 5? A. To praise their benefits to desert life. B. To highlight our ignorance of wildlife. C. To stress their significance for photography. D. To show our unawareness of nature’s sensitivity. 31. It is conveyed in this passage that we should ________. A. encourage wildlife protection B. leave no trace in the wild C. promote national park tourism D. restore ecological damage 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人类活动，特别是游客在自然保护区的不当行为，对自然环境造成的负面影响。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A dropped bag of chips disturbed a cave ecosystem in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico. This cave is almost cut off from the outside world, so introducing anything foreign can be harmful. (在新墨西哥州的卡尔斯巴德洞穴国家公园，一袋掉落的薯片扰乱了洞穴生态系统。这个洞穴几乎与外界隔绝，因此引入任何外来物质都可能带来危害。)”和“The snack attracts tiny organisms, causing unwanted growth. Soon, small animals like crickets and spiders came to eat, spreading the pollution. Rangers found the bag within hours. (这种零食会吸引微小生物，导致不必要的生长。很快，蟋蟀和蜘蛛等小动物前来觅食，从而传播了污染。公园管理员在几小时内就发现了这个袋子。)”可知，一袋薯片掉落在洞穴里，虽然护林员在几小时内就发现了薯片，但是在此之前薯片已经吸引了微小生物，导致了不必要的生物生长，蟋蟀和蜘蛛等小动物也跑来觅食并扩散了污染。所以Ashley说“But that can be all it takes.”意思是损害已经造成了。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and changes their behavior with sometimes disastrous results. Bears who taste garbage and become a threat to humans may have to be put down. “Bears can get used to unnatural food in three weeks,” says Watts. “Everyone loses in this case.” (留下垃圾会让动物接触到非自然的食物，并改变它们的行为，有时甚至会带来灾难性的后果。尝到过垃圾味道并对人类构成威胁的熊可能不得不被杀死。“熊能在三周内习惯非自然的食物，”Watts说。“在这种情况下，大家都输了。”)”可知，在公共土地上留下的外来垃圾会让动物接触到非自然的食物，进而改变它们的行为，有时还会带来灾难性的后果，比如尝到垃圾味道的熊会对人类构成威胁。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段““It’s just such a hard thing to resist,” says Blye. The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn’t obvious. “It’s easy to think, oh, there’s wildflowers over there. I shouldn’t step on that,” says Blye, but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic organisms essential to desert life provide many benefits, including reducing the risk of erosion (侵蚀) and helping absorb rainfall, and can take hundreds of years to return to its original state. (“这真的很难抗拒，”Blye说。敏感生态系统面临的风险并不明显。“人们很容易想，哦，那边有野花。我不应该踩到它们，”Blye说，但这些充满对沙漠生活至关重要的微生物的微小生态系统提供了许多好处，包括减少侵蚀的风险和帮助吸收降雨，而且可能需要数百年才能恢复到原始状态。)”可知，作者提到野花是为了举例说明：人们可能知道不应该踩踏野花，但却没意识到野花所在的微小生态系统对沙漠至关重要，且恢复难度极大，即突出人们对自然敏感性的无知。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A dropped bag of chips disturbed a cave ecosystem in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico. (在新墨西哥州的卡尔斯巴德洞穴国家公园，一袋掉落的薯片扰乱了洞穴生态系统。)”、第二段“Over 500 million people visit American public lands each year, creating many chances to harm wild places. (每年有超过5亿人参观美国的公共土地，这为破坏野生环境提供了许多机会。)”和第三段“Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and changes their behavior with sometimes disastrous results. (留下垃圾会让动物接触到非自然的食物，并改变它们的行为，有时甚至会带来灾难性的后果。)”以及第五段“The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn’t obvious. (敏感生态系统面临的风险并不明显。)”可知，文章开篇以一袋薯片扰乱洞穴生态系统为例，接着讲述了食物垃圾、生物垃圾等人类在公共土地上留下的废弃物对生态系统的危害，如改变动物行为、引入有害细菌等，还提到游客踏出小径拍照等行为对自然和野生动物造成长期损害，强调了人类活动对自然环境的不良影响。所以文章传达的是我们应该在野外不留下痕迹。故选B。 D A new study in the journal Scientific Reports finds AI chatbots can imitate famous poets so effectively that they can fool many human readers, and non-experts often can’t reliably distinguish between poems written by William Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, T.S. Eliot or ChatGPT-3.5. The researchers conducted two experiments: the first asked participants to determine whether a poem was written by a human or AI, and the second assessed the quality of the poems. In both cases, the AI-generated poems either passed as human-written or even outperformed those by human writers. Participants, who were unaware of the true origins of the poems, rated the AI-generated poems higher on average, considering them more inspiring, meaningful, moving, and profound than the human-authored ones. So, how did this happen? Researchers believe the appeal of AI-generated poems lies in their simplicity and clarity. These poems better convey an image, mood, emotion, or theme to non-expert poetry readers. Consequently, participants might have misunderstood the complexity of human poetry as AI incoherence (不连贯性). Understanding human-authored poetry also requires deep and critical thinking. However, modern readers seem unwilling to engage in this kind of mental labor, preferring texts that offer “instant answers,” writes Andrew Dean, a literary scholar at Deakin University in Australia. Michele Elam, a senior fellow at Stanford’s Institute for Human-Centered AI, raised a key concern about how AI may shape people’s relationships with art. She argued that the issue isn’t whether AI-generated poetry can match or exceed human authenticity (真实性) but that we might lose sight of how art is connected to our lived experiences. “Literature, including poetry, is meaningful because it provides a way of naming and describing our realities,” Elam wrote in an email, “If we only see selected images and language in our social feeds, it could limit our ability to understand the world, remember the past, and imagine the future.” 32. What can we learn from the two experiments? A. Human poems are more creative than AI-generated poems. B. Many participants can distinguish AI-generated poems quickly. C. Only a small number of participants preferred AI-generated poems. D. AI-generated poems won higher praise than human poems on average. 33. Which of the following is a characteristic of AI-generated poems according to the passage? A. They are full of complex language. B. They are simple and clear in expression. C. They are hard to understand for non-experts. D. They demand a lot of critical thinking from readers. 34. The misunderstanding of human-authored poetry as AI-incoherence by participants may be due to ________. A. The inherent defects in human-authored poetry. B. The poor quality of the language used in human-authored poetry. C. The lack of proper education on appreciating poetry among participants. D. The participants’ habit of expecting simplicity, as AI-generated poems provided. 35. Which statement will Michele Elam probably agree with? A. AI is revolutionizing the way we appreciate literary works. B. AI-generated literature has challenged human writers’ abilities. C. AI-generated art helps enhance our understanding of the world. D. AI may lead to a disconnection between art and human experiences. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. D 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一项关于人工智能聊天机器人模仿著名诗人创作诗歌的研究，包括研究的实验过程、结果以及相关学者对此的观点和担忧。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Participants, who were unaware of the true origins of the poems, rated the AI-generated poems higher on average, considering them more inspiring, meaningful, moving, and profound than the human-authored ones. (参与者并不知道这些诗歌的真正来源，他们对人工智能生成的诗歌的平均评分更高，认为它们比人类创作的诗歌更具启发性、更有意义、更动人、更深刻。)”从实验结果可知，人工智能生成的诗歌平均获得了比人类诗歌更高的评价。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“Researchers believe the appeal of AI-generated poems lies in their simplicity and clarity. (研究人员认为，人工智能生成的诗歌的吸引力在于其简洁明了。)”可知，人工智能生成的诗歌的特点是表达简洁明了。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Consequently, participants might have misunderstood the complexity of human poetry as AI incoherence (不连贯性). Understanding human-authored poetry also requires deep and critical thinking. However, modern readers seem unwilling to engage in this kind of mental labor, preferring texts that offer “instant answers,” writes Andrew Dean, a literary scholar at Deakin University in Australia. (因此，参与者可能将人类诗歌的复杂性误解为人工智能的不连贯性。理解人类创作的诗歌也需要深入和批判性的思考。然而，澳大利亚迪肯大学的文学学者安德鲁・迪恩写道，现代读者似乎不愿意进行这种脑力劳动，更喜欢提供“即时答案”的文本。)”可知，参与者将人类诗歌误解为人工智能的不连贯性，可能是因为他们习惯了人工智能诗歌提供的简洁，而不愿意花脑力理解人类诗歌的复杂性。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段第二句“She argued that the issue isn’t whether AI-generated poetry can match or exceed human authenticity but that we might lose sight of how art is connected to our lived experiences. (她认为，问题不在于人工智能生成的诗歌是否能达到或超越人类的真实性，而在于我们可能会忽视艺术与我们生活体验之间的联系。)”可知，Michele Elam认为人工智能可能会导致艺术与人类体验之间的脱节。故选D。 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。 How to Improve Your Memory​ Memory is an important part of our lives.

Despite 64. absence 65. latest 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍了断更三年的中国网红李子柒复出，发布了两个视频，引发网友广泛关注。 【56题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：她在抖音、新浪微博和YouTube等社交媒体平台上分享了这些视频。share作本句谓语，根据句意以及空后的by可知，此处用被动语态，描述已发生的事，用一般过去时，主语为复数。故填were shared。 【57题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：最近上传的一段视频展示了她如何将木棚变成林地衣帽间，另一段视频展示了她使用非物质文化遗产中国漆器技术的工艺。空处引导宾语从句，从句结构完整，用连接副词，根据句意，表达“如何将木棚变成林地衣帽间”，用how连接。故填how。 【58题详解】 考查连词。句意：最近上传的一段视频展示了她如何将木棚变成林地衣帽间，另一段视频展示了她使用非物质文化遗产中国漆器技术的工艺。根据句意，前后文为并列关系，用and连接。故填and。 【59题详解】 考查冠词。句意：在发布后的五个半小时内，这段漆器视频在新浪微博上获得了1亿次观看，包括分享、评论和点赞在内的160万次互动。此处是固定搭配a total of意为“总数为”。故填a。 【60题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：从那以后，许多网友在评论区留言支持她，并表达了他们对她的内容的怀念。flood作本句谓语，根据时间状语since then可知，用现在完成时，主语为复数。故填have flooded。 【61题详解】 考查形容词。句意：YouTube上的一位粉丝评论道：“我真的很想念你的视频，你和你的祖母。每当我看你的视频，我都觉得很放松，”她的许多粉丝都有同样的感受。空前是系动词，所以空处应填形容词作表语，relax的形容词relaxed意为“放松的”符合句意。故填relaxed。 【62题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：2016年，李开始在新浪微博上发布短视频，以农村生活、传统烹饪技术和文化习俗的诗意描绘为特色。本句已有谓语动词，所以feature用非谓语形式，和逻辑主语short videos之间是主动关系，用现在分词形式。故填featuring。 63题详解】 考查介词。句意：尽管自2021年7月14日以来，她就没有更新过自己的内容，但她的粉丝却在增加，粉丝们也在她不在的时候要求她更新视频。根据句意，此处表达“尽管”之意，应用介词despite引导让步状语，位于句首，首字母应大写。故填Despite。 【64题详解】 考查名词。句意：尽管自2021年7月14日以来，她就没有更新过自己的内容，但她的粉丝却在增加，粉丝们也在她不在的时候要求她更新视频。空前是形容词性物主代词，所以空处应填名词作宾语，absent的名词形式是absence。故填absence。 【65题详解】 考查形容词。句意：在她最新的微博中，她写道：“等我忙完之后，我会赶上大家的。想念你们!”空后是名词，所以空处应填形容词作定语，根据句意，表达“最新的”之意，用最高级形式。故填latest。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分) 第一节（满分15分) 66. 假定你是李华，你校英语社将与爱心社联合举办主题为“关爱残疾人”的活动。请你用英语写一封倡议书发表在英语社刊上。内容包括： 1.关爱残疾人的意义； 2.如何关爱残疾人； 3.呼吁大家参与此次活动。 注意：1.写作词数应为80词左右； 2.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear fellow students, Our school will organize an event themed “Care for the Disabled” in December, aiming to draw attention to the importance of showing love and respect to our disabled friends.

Every day after school, he would rush home to his favorite spot — a strong oak tree with a swing in the backyard to read. But today was different. He had a secret that made his heart race, but not in the good way. At school, during art class, Oliver accidentally spilled (泼洒) red paint on his friend Mia’s drawing. In panic, he lied, saying the paintbrush slipped. Deep down, he knew he had been careless, and the lie weighed heavily on him. Mia had been so excited about her drawing for the coming school art show. He worried he had ruined it. With a sigh, Oliver decided to take a walk to clear his mind. He wandered down the familiar path to Willow Creek Park. There, he saw Mr. Johnson, a retired headmaster. He had a kind smile that made Oliver feel at ease. “Hello, Oliver,” Mr. Johnson called, waving him over. “What brings you here on this fine day?” Oliver hesitated for a moment but then decided to share his burden. “I told a lie today” he admitted everything to Mr. Johnson. “Honesty builds trust,” Mr. Johnson advised gently, “while lies create walls between friends.” Oliver listened attentively, worrying that truth might hurt Mia. “Sometimes the truth may hurt, but it also solves the problem and makes things better,” Mr. Johnson added thoughtfully. “If you’re honest with Mia, you can work together to fix the drawing. Remember, friendship grows strong with trust.” Oliver nodded, feeling a spark of hope. Maybe telling the truth wouldn’t be as scary as he thought. The next day at school, the air was filled with excitement as the art show drew closer. Colorful banners decorated the halls, and students hurried to set up their displays. 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。 Paragraph 1: Oliver approached Mia, who was carefully improving her painting. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The day of the art show arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Oliver approached Mia, who was carefully improving her painting. Oliver took a deep breath and admitted his lie about the paint spill. For a moment, Mia’s expression was readable, making Oliver’s stomach twist with anxiety. But then her face softened, and she simply nodded, accepting his apology. “Let’s fix it together,” Mia grinned. With a shared look of determination, they got to work. Transforming the red spots into blooming flowers, they added green leaves and a vivid blue sky. Their silent teamwork was efficient, turning the ruined drawing into a vibrant garden scene. Paragraph 2: The day of the art show arrived. Oliver and Mia stood nervously beside their artwork, palms sweating. As people began to gather around their piece, whispers of praise filled the air. Mr. Johnson, invited as a guest, gave them an approving thumbs-up. Oliver felt a sense of relief and pride wash over him. Not only did honesty save his friendship but also led to a beautiful creation. At that moment, Oliver knew that as long as he embraced honesty and nurtured the friendships he cherished, every day would be an adventure filled with color, joy, and the true essence of life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了奥利弗不小心将红色颜料泼洒在朋友米娅的画作上，因害怕而撒谎，内心备受煎熬，后在公园偶遇退休校长Mr. Johnson，在Mr. Johnson的鼓励下，奥利弗决定向米娅坦白。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“奥利弗走近米娅，她正在仔细地修改她的画。”可知，第一段可描写奥利弗向米娅坦白并道歉，两人一起修复画作的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“艺术展的日子到了。”可知，第二段可描写艺术展上，他们的画作受到好评，奥利弗意识到诚实和友谊的重要性。 2. 续写线索：坦白道歉——接受道歉——一起修复画作——艺术展到来——画作受到好评——意识到诚实和友谊的重要性 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①承认：admit/confess ②修理：fix/repair ③促成、导致：lead to/contribute to 情绪类 ①焦虑：anxiety/nervousness ②放松：relief/ease/relaxation 【点睛】【高分句型1】Oliver and Mia stood nervously beside their artwork, palms sweating.
