The camera shows a different view of the world to me by showing the true colors of when and how there will always be the good and bad in the world.It is important to me，because it helps bring back the history of the past.Next thing is that back then the camera helped show art by using photos to create feelings of nostalgia (怀旧) and purpose.If we had no photography，then there would be less knowledge about the history of the past. When I was a young girl，my family would take pictures to record the memories whether they were the good or bad.In our family，valuable photos are considered a treasure passed down from one generation to the next.My strong love for photography was from my uncle who was a photographer and I loved looking at his pictures.Later，I take pictures to show a meaning through the photos to follow in his footsteps. We are on a timeline，and photos can help freeze moments on the timeline.Today people are using photos to create a timeline for their future by putting them in a photo album(相册) or posting them on social media，which can help them remember what happened in the past. 　　【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了相机对作者生活的改变——让作者可以记录生活，帮助作者了解过去的生活。 24.How did the camera influence the author？ A.She developed strong interest in technology.

The sight of his uncle’s shaking the spoon so violently inspired Aarrav，17，from Bengaluru，south India，to turn to robotics.He locked himself in his room with microcontrollers，sensors，motors，and a 3D printer.What emerged was a prototype (原型) of a smart spoon that is now undergoing trials at the RV College of Physiotherapy in Bengaluru. The sensors in the battery-operated spoon detect shaking on one side and activate movement on the other，effectively cancelling out shaking to keep the spoon stable. “I’ve been fine tuning the design based on the college’s feedback—that it needs to be waterproof so that it can be washed without damaging all the electronics inside；that it must be removable so it can be cleaned and replaced by a fork，” Aarrav says. For Aarrav it is the peak of a 10-year interest in mechanics that began when his mother bought him a Lego set.He has now represented India at more than 20 robotics competitions across the world. When the blueprint for the smart spoon won first prize in the future innovators category at last year’s World Robot Olympiad in Germany，Aarrav felt encouraged to make the prototype. More than 7 million people in India are estimated to have Parkinson’s disease，a condition in which parts of the brain become progressively damaged and which mainly affects people over the age of 50.Symptoms (症状) include involuntary shaking and stiff muscles.As the disease progresses，eating can become more difficult，forcing people to rely on help from others. Aarrav’s ambition is that every family that has someone with Parkinson’s will have the smart spoon.He says his uncle Arjun’s words keep echoing (回响) in his mind：“Who would have thought such a small thing could mean the difference between dignity and indignity？” 　　【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Aarrav发明智能勺子的原因和过程。 28.What can Aarrav’s invention help people with Parkinson’s do？ A.Control their physical balance. B.Boost their mood and relieve stress. C.Maintain a good range of movement. D.Feed themselves more independently. 答案：D 解析：推理判断题。由文章第一段中“Arjun attempted to keep his dignity but the frustration forced him to give up and call his helper to feed him.”和第二段中“The sight of his uncle’s shaking the spoon so violently inspired Aarrav，17，from Bengaluru，south India，to turn to robotics.”以及最后一段中“He says his uncle Arjun’s words keep echoing (回响) in his mind：‘Who would have thought such a small thing could mean the difference between dignity and indignity？’”可知，Aarrav的发明能帮助帕金森氏症患者更独立地自己进食。故选D。 29.What does the underlined part “fine tuning” in Paragraph 4 mean？ A.Overturning. B.Reconsidering. C.Conducting a study of. D.Making minor changes to. 答案：D 解析：词义猜测题。由文章画线词后“the design based on the college’s feedback...so it can be cleaned and replaced by a fork”可知，Aarrav根据学院的反馈对智能勺子进行调整，所以画线词意为“调整”，与D项意思相近。故选D。 30.What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Parkinson’s in India？ A.To show prospects of Aarrav’s invention. B.To reveal the nation’s poor health situation. C.To popularize general knowledge of the disease. D.To convince people to volunteer for social causes. 答案：A 解析：推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段中“More than 7 million people...which mainly affects people over the age of 50.”可推知，作者提到印度帕金森氏症的目的是展示Aarrav发明的前景。故选A。 31.What can be learned about Aarrav from the text？ A.He enjoys being alone. B.He has an innovative mind. C.He used to be a health worker. D.He longed to be a businessman. 答案：B 解析：推理判断题。由文章第二段和第五段可知，Aarrav有创新的头脑。故选B。 D (2025·福建省龙岩市高二上学期期中) 　　The maker of ChatGPT recently announced its next move into generative artificial intelligence.San Francisco-based OpenAI’s new text-to-video generator，called Sora，is a tool that instantly makes short videos based on written commands，called prompts. Sora is not the first of its kind.Google，Meta and Runway are among the other companies to have developed similar technology.But the high quality of videos displayed by OpenAI—some released after CEO Sam Altman asked social media users to send in ideas for written prompts surprised observers. A photographer from New Hampshire posted one suggestion，or prompt，on social media.The prompt gave details about a kind of food to be cooked，gnocchi (意大利团子)，as well as the setting，an old Italian country kitchen.The prompt said，“An instructional cooking session for home-made gnocchi，hosted by a grandmother，a social media influencer，set in a rustic (土气的) Tuscan country kitchen.” Altman answered a short time later with a realistic video that showed what the prompt described. The tool is not yet publicly available.OpenAI has given limited information about how it was built.The company also has not stated what imagery and video sources were used to train Sora.At the same time，the video results led to fears about the possible moral and social effects. The New York Times and some writers have taken legal actions against OpenAI for its use of copyrighted works of writing to train ChatGPT.And OpenAI pays a fee to The Associated Press，the source of this report，to license its text news file.OpenAI said in a blog post that it is communicating with artists，policymakers and others before releasing the new tool to the public. The company added that it is working with “red teamers”，people who try to find problems and give helpful suggestions，to develop Sora.“We are working with red teamers—express in areas like misinformation and hateful content—who will be adversarially (对抗地) testing the model，” the company said.“We’re also building tools to help detect misleading content such as a detection classifier that can tell when a video was generated by Sora.” 　　【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了OpenAI新推出了一款名为Sora的文生视频模型，并介绍了其特点以及其争议。 32.What makes Sora impressive？ A.Its rapid development. B.Its remarkable video quality. C.Its moral and social influence. D.Its written commands and prompts. 答案：B 解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But the high quality of videos displayed by OpenAI—some released after CEO Sam Altman asked social media users to send in ideas for written prompts surprised observers.”可知，Sora让人印象深刻的是其非凡的视频质量，故选B。 33.What’s the writing purpose of Paragraph 3？ A.To give a definition.

He says that，in Britain，walking for fun “wasn’t really a thing” until the 1780s.　37　，and some people associated it with criminal activity.But for Charles Dickens，the famous English 19th Century author，marching through London streets and walking around the countryside was a big part of the creative process；a time to absorb what was going on around him. But if speed-walking isn’t your thing，perhaps you can take inspiration from another big-thinking wanderer.　38　.He said that he could not preserve his health and spirits unless he spent four hours a day walking at least. 　39　，but has pedestrian etiquette (行人礼仪) remained the same？ A 1780 article for the London Magazine advised pedestrians to avoid things such as walking in conversation and preventing people behind you.Nowadays，we could probably add distracted phone-users to that list. In this modern age，when many of us are tied to our desks and to our screens，the simple act of stepping out onto the city pavements，or getting lost in nature，may make all the difference to our wellbeing.　40　？ A.Is it safe to walk the streets alone at night B.By doing so，they help them strengthen their capacities　 C.This idea of taking a walk to clear your head has survived through to the 21st Century D.That’s because it’s beneficial for both physical and mental health E.Before that，it was just something people did out of necessity F.Whether you see yourself more as a casual or a purposeful walker，why not build a habit out of it G.19th Century American writer Henry David Thoreau took a slower approach 　　【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了散步的起源以及它如何演变成为现代人的一项重要日常活动。 36.答案：D 解析：根据上文“As we all know，‘Going for a walk’ is a popular pastime among older and younger generations.”可知，空处承接上文说明其原因。故D项“这是因为它对身心健康都有好处”符合语境。故选D。 37.答案：E 解析：根据上文“He says that，in Britain，walking for fun ‘wasn’t really a thing’ until the 1780s.”可知，空处说明18世纪80年代之前关于散步的情况。E项“在此之前，这只是人们出于需要而做的事情”符合语境。故选E。 38.答案：G 解析：根据上文“But if speed-walking isn’t your thing，perhaps you can take inspiration from another big-thinking wanderer.”可知，空处承接上文说明这个有远见的步行者是谁以及他的举措。G项“19世纪美国作家亨利·大卫·梭罗采取了一种较为缓慢的方法”符合语境。故选G。 39.答案：C 解析：根据下文“but has pedestrian etiquette (行人礼仪) remained the same？”可知，空处与下文为转折关系，说明步行随着时间而延续到了现在。C项“通过散步来清醒头脑的想法一直延续到21世纪”符合语境。故选C。 40.答案：F 解析：根据上文“In this modern age，when many of us are tied to our desks and to our screens，the simple act of stepping out onto the city pavements，or getting lost in nature，may make all the difference to our wellbeing.”可知，空处总结上文且发出号召，鼓励人们散步。F项“无论你认为自己是一个随意的还是有目的的步行者，为什么不养成一种习惯呢”符合语境。故选F项。 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。 (2025·福建省高二上学期期中) 　　I lean back on the wooden bench and the day’s stresses are gone.It seems perfectly placed for this spot，a place of my 　41　 and growth.It has really 　42　 me to a world I’ve never imagined.

But he stayed on.This was where he was rooted.He was born here and he knew the country.It was starting to get dark and light snow flurries were coming down.He’d better get a move on.Suddenly，he noticed an old lady stuck beside her Mercedes，seemingly in trouble.Despite the dim light，he could sense her need for help.He pulled up，his Pontiac making a sputtering sound.The old lady was visibly alert as no one had stopped to assist her for quite a while.She might have thought he looked a bit shabby and untrustworthy.But he reassured her with a warm smile and introduced himself as Bryan. It turned out that she had a flat tire.Bryan got down under the car to find a suitable spot for the jack (千斤顶)，getting his hands dirty and even scraping his knuckles.After some efforts，he managed to change the tire.While he was tightening the parts，the old lady started a conversation，revealing that she was from St.Louis and only just passing through.She was extremely grateful，asking，“How much do I owe you？” Bryan，however，regarded this not as a job but an act of kindness，so he replied patiently，“If you really want to repay me，the next time you see someone in need，you can offer a helping hand and remember me.” A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe.She was longing to grab a bite to eat，and take the chill off before she made the last leg of her trip home.It was a run-down looking restaurant，outside which were two old gas pumps.The whole scene was unfamiliar to her，making her hesitant. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 　　However，upon stepping inside，a nearly eight-month-pregnant waitress greeted her with a warm smile.____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 　　Wondering where the lady could be，the waitress noticed something written on a napkin and 4 more $100 bills underneath.______________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ 参考范文 　　However，upon stepping inside，a nearly eight-month-pregnant waitress greeted her with a warm smile.That single act of kindness instantly put her at ease and made her feel welcome in this otherwise strange and run-down place.After seating her at a cozy corner table，the waitress served a hot cup of tea and a bowl of chicken soup，wearing a smile despite pregnancy difficulties.The warmth from the soup spread through her cold and tired body.Throughout the meal，the old lady felt a sense of comfort and gratitude，remembering Bryan’s act of kindness.After the meal，as the waitress fetched change for a hundred，the lady slipped away unnoticed. 　　Wondering where the lady could be，the waitress noticed something written on a napkin and 4 more $100 bills underneath.The note said that the waitress didn’t owe her anything because someone had once helped the old lady in a similar way.It urged her not to let the chain of love break.Tears streamed down her cheeks when she read what the lady wrote.With a baby due next month，the family were facing financial hardships.But the kind act of the old lady gave her hope.After a long and tiring day at work，when she got home，she lay in bed beside her sleeping husband and kissed him gently，whispering almost to herself，“Everything will be okay.I love you，Bryan.” 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了布莱恩帮助了一位轮胎爆胎的老妇人，没有接受老妇人的钱，而是告诉她当看到有需要的人时，可以伸出援手，传递善意。 【详解】 1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，一进门，一位怀孕近八个月的女服务员热情地微笑着迎接她。”可知，第一段可描写老妇人与女服务员的互动以及老妇人决定回报女服务员的善意。 ②由第二段首句内容“在想这位女士在哪里时，女服务员注意到餐巾上写着什么，下面还有4张100美元的钞票。”可知，第二段可描写女服务员发现老妇人留下的字条和小费后的反应。 2.续写线索：老妇人与女服务员的互动——老妇人留下慷慨的小费——女服务员发现小费和字条——女服务员的感激与决心 学生用书⬇第51页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
