When I was a little boy of about ten years old. I developed an interest in calligraphy. Back then we only had a TV channel with limited programs, One of the programs was about learning calligraphy. I was engaged and spent several years learning different calligraphy scripts (笔迹) in the Urdu language. After graduation, I came to Dubai, UAE. Falling in love with the architecture and high-rise buildings, I wanted to shoot the amazing beauty form different angles. So I bought a camera and learned photography, joined photography groups and attended workshops. After few years, I got bored of photographing landscapes and cityscapes. Seven years ago, while going through the photography blogs and looking through others’ works. I read the term called “light painting”. a photography technique that allows you to draw in space. I started experimenting with that and soon it hit me: why not bring back my passion for calligraphy using light painting technique? Since that day. I’ve been drawing light calligraphy. To achieve the best results. I decided to build the lights myself. The best part about my work is that they are not photoshopped. I prefer to get the results straight out of the camera. I don’t even turn over the images. To achieve that, I have to write in reverse (倒置) and that took a lot of practice to get it right. Currently, I’m working on the idea of bringing abandoned places back to life, including buildings which have lost their charm and are hidden in darkness. Through my photography, I try to employ light calligraphy by writing a word that attaches a deep meaning to those places and telling stories behind them. In this way, I hope people will revisit these places and appreciate the real reason for their construction. 4. What can be implied from the author’s experience in Quetta? A. He had access to plenty art resources. B. He was fond of calligraphy channels. C. He grasped scripts of many languages. D. He was willing to dig into calligraphy. 5. What made the author interested in taking pictures in Dubai? A Visual impacts of structures. B. Remarkable urban planning. C. Mysterious building stories. D. Odd angles of architecture. 6. How did the author enhance the effects of light calligraphy? A. By learning from others. B. By sticking to originality. C. By beautifying his photos. D. By drawing in open space. 7. What is the author’s role in practising his current idea? A. A writer putting down real thoughts. B. An educator spreading sound values. C. An artist regenerating forgotten sites. D. A historian looking for ignored areas. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从对书法感兴趣到在迪拜从事光绘书法摄影的经历和创作理念。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I was engaged and spent several years learning different calligraphy scripts (笔迹) in the Urdu language.(我全神贯注，花了好几年时间学习乌尔都语的不同书法笔迹。)”可知，作者愿意深入研究书法。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Falling in love with the architecture and high-rise buildings, I wanted to shoot the amazing beauty form different angles.(我爱上了这里的建筑和高楼大厦，想从不同的角度拍摄这令人惊叹的美。)”可知，建筑物的视觉冲击力让作者对在迪拜拍照产生了兴趣。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The best part about my work is that they are not photoshopped. I prefer to get the results straight out of the camera.(我工作的最好的部分是它们没有经过PS处理。我更喜欢直接从相机里得到结果。)”可知，作者通过坚持原创性来增强光绘书法的效果。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Currently, I’m working on the idea of bringing abandoned places back to life, including buildings which have lost their charm and are hidden in darkness. Through my photography, I try to employ light calligraphy by writing a word that attaches a deep meaning to those places and telling stories behind them.(目前，我正在研究如何让废弃的地方重现生机，包括那些失去魅力、隐藏在黑暗中的建筑。通过我的摄影，我尝试用光绘书法写下一个对这些地方有深刻意义的词，并讲述它们背后的故事。)”可知，作者目前所扮演的角色是让被遗忘的遗址重现生机的艺术家。故选C。 C Until now it has been impossible to understand the human mind, but new biometric (生物计量的) tools are changing this. Assuming people agree to let these technologies observe them, researchers can collect real-time facial expressions and eye movements with a camera, and therefore discern hidden information from people’s faces when they are engaged with different urban scenes. Our research group at Tufts University has conducted a number of facial analysis and eye-tracking studies, using iMotions facial coding software to track 51 participants’ real-time visual attention and facial expressions in response to images and videos of Memorial Drive in Cambridge. We captured similar images of the same road with and without cars and compared our participants’ emotional reactions to both types of images. The system records a person’s eye movements and facial expressions with a camera. Then the biometric software uses a method to score whether a participant displayed positive, negative or neutral (无倾向的) emotions based on slight movements in their facial muscles. In its results, although our participants expressed neutral emotions in response to the images 85 percent of the time, participants spent on average 0. 4 percent more time expressing positive emotions in response to car-free images and videos. The small difference is important because even a still image can tell us something worth considering. And after several researches, we did find that cars absorbed people naturally, but people’s emotional responses are more negative while looking at them. Scientists and urban planners globally are beginning to improve biometric tools to understand how people react to urban and architectural elements. Humans have developed to survive in dangerous environments, so every part of a space can make us feel safe or threatened. Natural elements like trees and bushes are less foreign to our brain than car-related things like roadways and traffic lights. Furthermore, natural design elements make it easier for humans to relax and enjoy their surroundings. Car-free spaces are important in community building. This new research is helping to demonstrate that and strengthen the case for more of them. 8. What does the underlined word “discern” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Recognize. B. Spread. C. Promote. D. Transport. 9. How does the biometric software tell participants’ emotions? A. By collecting facial expressions. B. By watching their body movements. C. By analyzing their facial muscle movements. D. By asking them to report their feelings. 10. What can be learned about the research from paragraph 3? A. Cars made participants feel happy and thrilled. B. A still image might produce more obvious results than videos. C. Most participants felt neutral about the research they engaged in. D. Participants were likely to be drawn to images and videos with cars. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Biometric tools help to track human emotions. B. Biometric tools are used to create car-free spaces. C. Biometrics help understand how people feel about city spaces D. Biometrics can tell the relations between cars and human mind. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了生物识别技术可帮助了解人们对城市元素的情绪反应，通过研究发现无车空间更易让人产生积极情绪，利于社区建设。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“researchers can collect real time facial expressions and eye movements with a camera, and therefore discern hidden information from people’s faces when they are engaged with different urban scenes. (研究人员可以用相机收集实时的面部表情和眼球运动，因此当人们接触不同的城市场景时，可以从他们的脸上……隐藏信息)”中“hidden information from people’s faces”可推知，研究人员借助相机收集的面部表情和眼球运动信息，应该是能够识别出隐藏信息。故划线词discern意为“识别”，与A项“Recognize”意思相近。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Then the biometric software uses a method to score whether a participant displayed positive, negative or neutral (无倾向的) emotions based on slight movements in their facial muscles. (然后生物识别软件使用一种方法，根据参与者面部肌肉的微小运动来评判他们表现出的是积极、消极还是无倾向的情绪)”可知，生物识别软件通过分析面部肌肉运动来判断参与者的情绪。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“And after several researches, we did find that cars absorbed people naturally, but people’s emotional responses are more negative while looking at them.(经过多次实验验证，我们确实发现：汽车会自然吸引人们的注意力，但人们在注视汽车时往往产生更为消极的情绪反应)”可知，参与者可能会被有汽车的图像和视频吸引。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“Until now it has been impossible to understand the human mind, but new biometric (生物计量的) tools are changing this. Assuming people agree to let these technologies observe them, researchers can collect real-time facial expressions and eye movements with a camera, and therefore discern hidden information from people’s faces when they are engaged with different urban scenes.(迄今为止，人类心智始终是难以破解的谜题，但新兴生物识别技术正在颠覆这一认知。在获得被试者知情同意的前提下，研究人员可通过摄像设备实时采集面部微表情与眼动轨迹，进而从个体面对不同城市场景时的面部反应中解码潜在认知信息)”和后文对相关研究的介绍可知，本文主要讲的是生物识别技术有助于了解人们对城市空间的感受。故选C项。 D A new study suggests people might like chatbot-produced poems for their simple and straightforward images, emotions and themes. In a recent experiment, the researchers tasked OpenAI’s ChatGPT with generating poems in the styles of famous poets, then presented 1,634 participants with ten poems — five human-written and five chatbot-generated — and assessed how people rated the poems based on 14 qualities, including rhythm and originality. Interestingly, they tended to rate the AI-generated poems higher on average, suggesting a preference for their straightforwardness and clarity. Why readers seem to prefer AI-generated poetry is not entirely clear, but the researchers’ best guess is that the AI poems may be more appealing because they are relatively straightforward and simple to comprehend. “Emily Dickinson sometimes breaks the expected rhyme scheme (韵律) on purpose,” says Brian Porter, a researcher at the University of Pittsburgh, “But the AI-generated poems in her style never did that once.” Besides, modern readers don’t seem to want to bother themselves to read deep to think critically. Instead, they prefer texts giving them instant answers. “When readers say they prefer AI poetry, they would seem to be showing their frustration when faced with writing that does not yield to their attention,” he adds. While the findings raise concerns about AI potentially replacing human artists and putting them out of work one day, Dorothea Lasky, the only living poet whose writings were included in the experiments, says it’s not necessarily a bad thing that readers enjoyed the AI-generated poems. “Poetry will always be necessary,” Lasky says, “If they read AI poems and like that poem better than a human-generated poem, then that, to me, is beautiful. They have a good experience with a poem, and I don’t care who wrote it. I feel there is room for all poets — even robot poets.” This study provided a platform for the intersection of technology and creativity, prompting reflection on the future of poetry and artistic expression. 12. Why did the researchers conduct the experiment? A. To create a technique. B. To clarify a concept. C. To detail an example. D. To confirm a finding. 13. What does the example of Emily Dickinson imply? A. Robots are more complicated than humans. B. AI meets modern readers’ reading preference. C. Chatbot is trained to write in creative patterns. D. Classic poetry lacks unique charming features. 14. Which belief does Dorothea Lasky have about poetry? A. All flowers bloom together. B. No dish suits all tastes. C. It’s no use crying over spilt milk. D. Time and tide wait for no man. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Will Poets Be lost in AI Era? B. ChatGPT: a New Advancement C. Fake or Real — a Concern about AI D. ChatGPT or Dickinson, Who is better? 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究表明，人们可能会喜欢聊天机器人制作的诗歌，因为他们的简单明了的图像，情感和主题，为此科学家进行了一项研究。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A new study suggests people might like chatbot-produced poems for their simple and straightforward images, emotions and themes.(一项新的研究表明，人们可能会喜欢聊天机器人制作的诗歌，因为他们的简单明了的图像，情感和主题。)”和第二段“In a recent experiment, the researchers tasked OpenAI’s ChatGPT with generating poems in the styles of famous poets, then presented 1,634 participants with ten poems — five human-written and five chatbot-generated — and assessed how people rated the poems based on 14 qualities, including rhythm and originality.(在最近的一项实验中，研究人员让OpenAI的ChatGPT以著名诗人的风格生成诗歌，然后向1634名展示了十首诗——五首是人类写的，五首是聊天机器人生成的——并评估了人们对这些诗的14种品质的评分，节奏和原创性。)”可推知，研究人员进行这项实验的目的是确认一个发现——人们可能会喜欢聊天机器人制作的诗歌，故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Why readers seem to prefer AI-generated poetry is not entirely clear, but the researchers’ best guess is that the AI poems may be more appealing because they are relatively straightforward and simple to comprehend. “Emily Dickinson sometimes breaks the expected rhyme scheme (韵律) on purpose,” says Brian Porter, a researcher at the University of Pittsburgh, “But the AI-generated poems in her style never did that once.”(为什么读者似乎更喜欢AI生成的诗歌并不完全清楚，但是研究人员的最佳猜测是，AI诗可能更具吸引力，因为它们相对简单明了，简单地理解。匹兹堡大学的研究员布莱恩·波特（Brian Porter）说：“艾米丽·迪金森有时会故意打破预期的韵律。但是AI生成的她的风格的诗歌从未那样做过一次（打破预期的韵律）。)”可推知，艾米丽·迪金森（Emily Dickinson）的例子暗示了AI满足现代读者的阅读偏好——人们喜欢简单明了的内容。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“ “Poetry will always be necessary,” Lasky says, “If they read AI poems and like that poem better than a human-generated poem, then that, to me, is beautiful. They have a good experience with a poem, and I don’t care who wrote it. I feel there is room for all poets— even robot poets.”(“诗歌将永远是必要的，”拉斯基说，“如果他们阅读人工智能的诗，并且比人类创作的诗更喜欢那首诗，那么在我看来，这是美丽的。我不在乎是谁写的，只要他们有一段很好的诗歌体验。我觉得所有的诗人都有空间——即使是机器人诗人。”)”可知，Dorothea Lasky认为无论是机器人还是人写诗，只要写出好的诗歌便是好的，由此可推知，他认为诗歌写作应该是百花齐放，故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“A new study suggests people might like chatbot-produced poems for their simple and straightforward images, emotions and themes.(一项新的研究表明，人们可能会喜欢聊天机器人制作的诗歌，因为他们的简单明了的图像，情感和主题。)”可知，文章主要介绍了一项新的研究表明，人们可能会喜欢聊天机器人制作的诗歌，因为他们的简单明了的图像，情感和主题，为此科学家进行了一项研究，由此可知，文章主要探讨了人工智能作的诗和诗人写出的诗，哪个更受欢迎，D项“Chatgpt或Dickinson，谁更好？”能概括文章内容，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。 For most of us, it’s pretty easy to stand up for someone else. But when it’s about ourselves, we often struggle-thinking it’s selfish, rude, or unkind to speak up for our own needs. ____16____ So how do you shift from championing others to becoming your own advocate? Building self-worth is the foundation. Just as financial health depends on saving more than you spend, self-worth grows when we keep more of ourselves than we give away. This “currency of self” isn’t limitless-it’s earned, spent, and invested. ____17____ Giving them to things or people that drain you is bound to leave you running on empty. Boundaries are the guardrails of self-worth. They’re not threats but clear guidelines for what you’ll protect. Healthy boundaries start with honoring your limits-defining what’s sustainable so your resources aren’t exhausted. ____18____ Finally, stop the habit of pleasing people. People-pleasing does indeed please others. However, over time this habit over a long period of time can be harmful to your sense of self-worth. ____19____ Start valuing courage in yourself and others, and try to take small steps of courage in your relationships. ____20____ Speaking them-to yourself or others-is how you carve your place in the world. They shape your journey, guiding you toward a life of substance. Standing up for yourself isn’t selfish; it’s the act of tending to the very worth that lets you show up fully-for others and yourself. A. Then how can you raise self-worth? B. Your desires deserve attention, energy, and respect. C. Healthy boundaries will lead to broader social networks. D. To break it, start leaning toward courage and inner strength. E. To grow it, protect your time, energy, and emotional reserves. F. State them clearly, and others will understand how to respect you. G. Yet, dismissing your own needs weakens self-worth and invites disregard. 【答案】16. G 17. E 18. F 19. D 20.

When I was elected president of student union, campus officials congratulated me saying I was quite adequate for the job. Before long, we had built a community of people who liked climbing the mountain near our campus. We started out with a small group of hikers, and then the number of participants increased. One day on campus, I met a woman in a wheelchair called Grace. I asked her if she had ever been to the top of the mountain. She said she hadn’t and she would never. I told her to stay positive and not to give up admiring the beauty of the summit. Grace agreed to have a go. We all took turns grabbing a corner of her chair as we carried her 1. 7 miles to the top. This was probably one of the most magical and deeply meaningful things I did in college. With the support of my community and hikers, no one was surprised that I had won the election. The first thing I did as president was hang a sign outside the Associated Students office that read, “Under New Management!” I was proud of my coming accomplishment. Absolute power changed me absolutely. My ego, my arrogance and my pride were out of control. I began speaking down to people, demanding they listen to me because I thought I knew what was best. Seldom did I join the hikers to climb the mountain, arguing it was a waste of time. My friends and supporters tried to communicate to me that I had changed, that I was abusing my position, but I wasn’t listening. A public conflict with the female vice president about where to build a coffeehouse opened the floodgates for others who were upset with me. They claimed that I had made wrong decisions and that I was unqualified for the job. “Resign! Resign!” the posters of their requests would soon be everywhere on campus. My whole world collapsed. I couldn’t figure out why a wonderfully enriching experience as president suddenly turned into one of my worst nightmares. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150 左右 2. 段落开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: Several days later, I caught sight of a familiar figure in the wheelchair, peering at my poster. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I went to the campus lawn, began to admit my mistakes in public and promised that I had learned my lesson. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Several days later, I caught sight of a familiar figure in the wheelchair, peering at my poster. Feeling a warm blush burning my cheeks, I bowed my head, trying to escape her attention. But after a brief hesitation, I collected myself and edged toward her. When our eyes met, a faint smile flashed across her lips as if to comfort me. It was Grace who broke the silence, saying, firmly and affectionately, “Stay positive and never forget you are not alone.” Her words were like a warm stream flowing into my heart. Greatly inspired, I promised her I would cheer myself up and do everything I can to win back the students’ trust and respect as president. I went to the campus lawn, began to admit my mistakes in public and promised that I had learned my lesson. Afterwards, I sprinted back to my community and sincerely apologized to them for my arrogance and dictatorial manner before. Then, the following few weeks witnessed me cooperating with my fellows, extensively seeking advice and listening patiently to their opinions. With joint efforts, not only was the coffeehouse successfully set up, but my job as president also went smoothly. It dawned on me that only by being a humble and inclusive listener can we achieve great success. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。讲述了热爱爬山和远足的作者在同学们的支持下成功当选学生会主席后，组织了很多有意义的活动，甚至还帮助残疾同学Grace建立自信，登上山顶。但随着时间的推移，作者越来越傲慢，变得目中无人，独断专行，最终引发了大家的抨击，最后在Grace的开导下，作者意识到了自己的错误，并向大家公开道歉。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几天后，我看到一个熟悉的身影坐在轮椅上，凝视着我的海报。”可知，第一段可描写Grace对作者的鼓励及作者的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“我走到校园草坪上，开始在公众面前承认我的错误，并保证我已经吸取了教训。”可知，第二段可描写作者公开致歉及感悟。 2.续写线索：接受鼓励——道歉——重获信任——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①低下我的头：bow my head/lower my head ②逐渐靠近：edge toward/approach toward/get close to ③鼓舞：inspire/encourage 情绪类 ①保持积极：stay positive/act positively/remain positive ②真诚地：sincerely/honestly/genuinely 【点睛】[高分句型1] It was Grace who broke the silence, saying, firmly and affectionately, “Stay positive and never forget you are not alone.”（运用了it was...who的强调句及现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] It dawned on me that only by being a humble and inclusive listener can we achieve great success.（运用了it作形式主语及“only+状语”提前的部分倒装句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年第一学期10月单元过关考试 高三英语 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

MinorMynas, Hillary Yip At 10 years old, after years of struggling to learn Chinese, Hillary’s parents decided to send her and her brother to a summer program in Hong Kong, and with no other option but to speak Chinese, they learned it almost overnight. At this point she came up with her best idea yet: a video-sharing platform for kids to learn languages as a community. MinorMynas came to life one year later. Today, the app is moving toward a way for kids to learn anything from languages to math. Maya’s Ideas, Maya Penn In 2007 Maya Penn, aged 7, joined Etsy, which inspired her to plan her own shop.

I developed an interest in calligraphy. Back then we only had a TV channel with limited programs, One of the programs was about learning calligraphy. I was engaged and spent several years learning different calligraphy scripts (笔迹) in the Urdu language. After graduation, I came to Dubai, UAE. Falling in love with the architecture and high-rise buildings, I wanted to shoot the amazing beauty form different angles. So I bought a camera and learned photography, joined photography groups and attended workshops. After few years, I got bored of photographing landscapes and cityscapes. Seven years ago, while going through the photography blogs and looking through others’ works. I read the term called “light painting”. a photography technique that allows you to draw in space. I started experimenting with that and soon it hit me: why not bring back my passion for calligraphy using light painting technique? Since that day. I’ve been drawing light calligraphy. To achieve the best results. I decided to build the lights myself. The best part about my work is that they are not photoshopped. I prefer to get the results straight out of the camera. I don’t even turn over the images. To achieve that, I have to write in reverse (倒置) and that took a lot of practice to get it right. Currently, I’m working on the idea of bringing abandoned places back to life, including buildings which have lost their charm and are hidden in darkness. Through my photography, I try to employ light calligraphy by writing a word that attaches a deep meaning to those places and telling stories behind them. In this way, I hope people will revisit these places and appreciate the real reason for their construction. 4. What can be implied from the author’s experience in Quetta? A. He had access to plenty art resources. B. He was fond of calligraphy channels. C. He grasped scripts of many languages. D. He was willing to dig into calligraphy. 5 What made the author interested in taking pictures in Dubai? A. Visual impacts of structures. B. Remarkable urban planning. C. Mysterious building stories. D. Odd angles of architecture. 6. How did the author enhance the effects of light calligraphy? A. By learning from others. B. By sticking to originality. C. By beautifying his photos. D. By drawing in open space. 7. What is the author’s role in practising his current idea? A. A writer putting down real thoughts. B. An educator spreading sound values. C. An artist regenerating forgotten sites. D. A historian looking for ignored areas. C Until now it has been impossible to understand the human mind, but new biometric (生物计量的) tools are changing this. Assuming people agree to let these technologies observe them, researchers can collect real-time facial expressions and eye movements with a camera, and therefore discern hidden information from people’s faces when they are engaged with different urban scenes. Our research group at Tufts University has conducted a number of facial analysis and eye-tracking studies, using iMotions facial coding software to track 51 participants’ real-time visual attention and facial expressions in response to images and videos of Memorial Drive in Cambridge. We captured similar images of the same road with and without cars and compared our participants’ emotional reactions to both types of images. The system records a person’s eye movements and facial expressions with a camera. Then the biometric software uses a method to score whether a participant displayed positive, negative or neutral (无倾向的) emotions based on slight movements in their facial muscles. In its results, although our participants expressed neutral emotions in response to the images 85 percent of the time, participants spent on average 0. 4 percent more time expressing positive emotions in response to car-free images and videos. The small difference is important because even a still image can tell us something worth considering. And after several researches, we did find that cars absorbed people naturally, but people’s emotional responses are more negative while looking at them. Scientists and urban planners globally are beginning to improve biometric tools to understand how people react to urban and architectural elements. Humans have developed to survive in dangerous environments, so every part of a space can make us feel safe or threatened. Natural elements like trees and bushes are less foreign to our brain than car-related things like roadways and traffic lights. Furthermore, natural design elements make it easier for humans to relax and enjoy their surroundings. Car-free spaces are important in community building. This new research is helping to demonstrate that and strengthen the case for more of them. 8. What does the underlined word “discern” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Recognize. B. Spread. C. Promote. D. Transport. 9. How does the biometric software tell participants’ emotions? A. By collecting facial expressions. B. By watching their body movements. C. By analyzing their facial muscle movements. D. By asking them to report their feelings. 10. What can be learned about the research from paragraph 3? A. Cars made participants feel happy and thrilled. B. A still image might produce more obvious results than videos. C. Most participants felt neutral about the research they engaged in. D. Participants were likely to be drawn to images and videos with cars. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Biometric tools help to track human emotions. B. Biometric tools are used to create car-free spaces. C. Biometrics help understand how people feel about city spaces D. Biometrics can tell the relations between cars and human mind. D A new study suggests people might like chatbot-produced poems for their simple and straightforward images, emotions and themes. In a recent experiment, the researchers tasked OpenAI’s ChatGPT with generating poems in the styles of famous poets, then presented 1,634 participants with ten poems — five human-written and five chatbot-generated — and assessed how people rated the poems based on 14 qualities, including rhythm and originality. Interestingly, they tended to rate the AI-generated poems higher on average, suggesting a preference for their straightforwardness and clarity. Why readers seem to prefer AI-generated poetry is not entirely clear, but the researchers’ best guess is that the AI poems may be more appealing because they are relatively straightforward and simple to comprehend. “Emily Dickinson sometimes breaks the expected rhyme scheme (韵律) on purpose,” says Brian Porter, a researcher at the University of Pittsburgh, “But the AI-generated poems in her style never did that once.” Besides, modern readers don’t seem to want to bother themselves to read deep to think critically. Instead, they prefer texts giving them instant answers. “When readers say they prefer AI poetry, they would seem to be showing their frustration when faced with writing that does not yield to their attention,” he adds. While the findings raise concerns about AI potentially replacing human artists and putting them out of work one day, Dorothea Lasky, the only living poet whose writings were included in the experiments, says it’s not necessarily a bad thing that readers enjoyed the AI-generated poems. “Poetry will always be necessary,” Lasky says, “If they read AI poems and like that poem better than a human-generated poem, then that, to me, is beautiful. They have a good experience with a poem, and I don’t care who wrote it. I feel there is room for all poets — even robot poets.” This study provided a platform for the intersection of technology and creativity, prompting reflection on the future of poetry and artistic expression. 12 Why did the researchers conduct the experiment? A. To create a technique. B. To clarify a concept. C. To detail an example. D. To confirm a finding. 13. What does the example of Emily Dickinson imply? A. Robots are more complicated than humans. B.

But when it’s about ourselves, we often struggle-thinking it’s selfish, rude, or unkind to speak up for our own needs. ____16____ So how do you shift from championing others to becoming your own advocate? Building self-worth is the foundation. Just as financial health depends on saving more than you spend, self-worth grows when we keep more of ourselves than we give away. This “currency of self” isn’t limitless-it’s earned, spent, and invested. ____17____ Giving them to things or people that drain you is bound to leave you running on empty. Boundaries are the guardrails of self-worth. They’re not threats but clear guidelines for what you’ll protect. Healthy boundaries start with honoring your limits-defining what’s sustainable so your resources aren’t exhausted. ____18____ Finally, stop the habit of pleasing people. People-pleasing does indeed please others. However, over time this habit over a long period of time can be harmful to your sense of self-worth. ____19____ Start valuing courage in yourself and others, and try to take small steps of courage in your relationships. ____20____ Speaking them-to yourself or others-is how you carve your place in the world. They shape your journey, guiding you toward a life of substance. Standing up for yourself isn’t selfish; it’s the act of tending to the very worth that lets you show up fully-for others and yourself. A. Then how can you raise self-worth? B. Your desires deserve attention, energy, and respect. C. Healthy boundaries will lead to broader social networks. D. To break it, start leaning toward courage and inner strength. E. To grow it, protect your time, energy, and emotional reserves. F. State them clearly, and others will understand how to respect you. G. Yet, dismissing your own needs weakens self-worth and invites disregard. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） One of my friends Bob was a research and development director in a large company.

When I was elected president of student union, campus officials congratulated me saying I was quite adequate for the job. Before long, we had built a community of people who liked climbing the mountain near our campus. We started out with a small group of hikers, and then the number of participants increased. One day on campus, I met a woman in a wheelchair called Grace. I asked her if she had ever been to the top of the mountain. She said she hadn’t and she would never. I told her to stay positive and not to give up admiring the beauty of the summit. Grace agreed to have a go. We all took turns grabbing a corner of her chair as we carried her 1. 7 miles to the top. This was probably one of the most magical and deeply meaningful things I did in college. With the support of my community and hikers, no one was surprised that I had won the election. The first thing I did as president was hang a sign outside the Associated Students office that read, “Under New Management!” I was proud of my coming accomplishment. Absolute power changed me absolutely. My ego, my arrogance and my pride were out of control. I began speaking down to people, demanding they listen to me because I thought I knew what was best. Seldom did I join the hikers to climb the mountain, arguing it was a waste of time. My friends and supporters tried to communicate to me that I had changed, that I was abusing my position, but I wasn’t listening. A public conflict with the female vice president about where to build a coffeehouse opened the floodgates for others who were upset with me. They claimed that I had made wrong decisions and that I was unqualified for the job. “Resign! Resign!” the posters of their requests would soon be everywhere on campus. My whole world collapsed. I couldn’t figure out why a wonderfully enriching experience as president suddenly turned into one of my worst nightmares. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150 左右 2. 段落开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: Several days later, I caught sight of a familiar figure in the wheelchair, peering at my poster. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I went to the campus lawn, began to admit my mistakes in public and promised that I had learned my lesson. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
