El Calafate, Argentina Every day, groups of buses depart El Calafate for the Perito Moreno glacier — an accessible icy sight, and one of the world’s few advancing glaciers. A series of boardwalks lead to various viewpoints that allow you to be amazed at this shining, blue-white wall of ice. Futaleufú, Chile Imagine it: you and the rest of the rafting crew are waiting for the signal from the rafting guide to row like your life depends on it. Huge river waves are hitting the boat and white-water spray showers you head to foot. You wipe the water out of your eyes and enjoy the sunshine when people in the Northern Hemisphere suffer from the freezing cold, and there are numerous guesthouses where you can base yourself. Cueva de las Manos, Argentina In a hidden canyon, reachable by tour or your own wheels, a boardwalk leads you past a vast overhanging rock face, decorated with ancient rock art. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the most famous rock art sites in South America, with over 800 outlines of human hands and feet of wildlife. Punta Tombo, Argentina You smell the penguins before you see them. The presence of nearly a million Magellanic penguins — some hiding underground, some going fishing in the sea, others standing around — is a powerful effect on your senses. The long, narrow peninsula also attracts gulls, flightless steamer ducks, and black oystercatchers. 1. What can you do in El Calafate, Argentina? A. Carve icy walls. B. Admire glaciers. C. Enjoy bus tours. D. Decorate boardwalks. 2. In which month can you take on the white-water rafting trips? A. January. B. May. C. August. D. October. 3. Where should you go if you are interested in observing live wildlife? A. Futaleufú, Chile B. El Calafate, Argentina C. Punta Tombo, Argentina D. Cueva de las Manos, Argentina B Brights Zoo in Limestone, Tennessee is celebrating the birth of a very unusual baby reticulated giraffe (网纹长颈鹿). Born perfectly healthy, it just doesn’t have any spots. The zoo is asking for help from the public to name the unique animal. Tall, long-necked giraffes are famous for their spots. The spots are believed to help the animals hide from predators. Just like no two humans have the same fingerprints, each giraffe has its own special pattern of spots. David Bright, who runs the zoo, told Newsweek, “This is beyond rare. The last time this happened was 1972 in Japan.” Currently, the young giraffe is believed to be the only spotless giraffe in the world. A giraffe’s pattern of spots is created when the animal is still growing inside its mother, which means that this giraffe will never have spots. Mr. Bright says that the new giraffe might not have survived if she had been born in the wild. “Being solid colored, she may not be able to hide quite as well,” said Mr. Bright. He also thought it was likely that the giraffe would be a “key target for poachers” because she’s so unusual. Reticulated giraffes are already struggling. In 2018, they were officially listed as “threatened”. Thirty-five years ago, there were 36,000 reticulated giraffes. Now, only about 16,000 reticulated giraffes remain. Brights Zoo is hoping to use the young spotless giraffe to raise awareness of giraffe protection and donate money for groups like Save Giraffes Now and the Giraffe Conservation Foundation. So far, hundreds of thousands of names have come up. All of the names are in Swahili, a language spoken in parts of Africa. The zoo will announce the winning name on September 4. 4. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. Giraffes are famous for long necks. B. Giraffes have the same spot patterns. C. The baby giraffe gets a special name. D. Brights Zoo welcomes a special baby giraffe. 5. What does David Bright say about the new-born giraffe? A. It’s easy to hide in the wild. B. It will generate spots in the future. C. It may spend its whole life in the zoo. D. It’s the first spotless giraffe in the world. 6. Why did the zoo call on the public to name the new-born giraffe? A. To protect the spotless giraffe. B. To call public attention to the zoo. C. To show the giraffes are going extinct. D. To raise fund for the giraffe protection groups. 7. What is the attitude of the public to the “naming activity”? A. Skeptical. B. Favorable. C. Indifferent. D. Cautious. C A newly-developed Android phone app is able to remotely estimate pressure in a person’s arteries (动脉) as there heart squeezes, providing potentially life-saving details on individual health without the need for specialized equipment. Rather than having to take a trip to the doctor or use a dedicated device, individuals might one day be able to make use of the phone in their pocket, making the innovation particularly important in underserved populations where access to medical care is limited. Developed by researchers from the University of Pittsburgh, the app works by taking a variety of readings from the accelerometer, camera, and touch sensors built into modern smartphones. What makes the app smart is the way it gets users to change the position of their hands to change blood flow, and apply a number of instructed touches to the phone screen to get the right pulse pressure readings.“Because of gravity, there’s a pressure change in your thumb when you raise your hands up above your heart, and using the phone’s accelerometer, you’re able to convert that into the relative change in pressure,” says biomedical engineer Vishaal Dhamotharan from the University of Pittsburgh. In tests on 24 people and cross-referencing with a larger database, the app method detected pulse pressure to a reasonably accurate level, within around 8 mm HG. As development continues, the app accuracy level will most likely improve on that even further. The researchers admit they’ll need to work on “changing the mindset” around using pulse pressure as a blood pressure indicator — but it’s the best solution we’ve seen yet for taking this crucial reading using a normal smartphone. “Development of a portable blood pressure measurement device that does not require any external calibration (外部校准) is unrealistic — such a device currently does not exist,” says biomedical engineer Sanjeev Shroff, from the University of Pittsburgh. “The research work reported in this publication is an important step in the right direction.” 8. Why is the newly-developed phone app particularly important? A. It’s much easier to access. B. It’s money-saving. C. It’s a specialized facility. D. It’s more accurate. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about the app? A The special function of it. B. The working principle of it. C The purpose of developing it. D. The inspiration for developing it. 10. What can we infer about the future of the app in smartphones? A. It will have a bright prospect. B. It will come into the market soon. C. It will be built in every smartphone. D. It will replace the traditional equipment. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To test an app. B. To improve an app. C. To advertise an app. D. To introduce an app. D Imagine an artificial intelligence model that can watch and understand moving images like you and me. Now, scientists have made this a reality by creating MovieNet: an innovative AI that processes videos much like how our brains interpret real-life scenes. This brain-inspired AI model can perceive moving scenes by simulating how neurons (神经元) make real-time sense of the world. While conventional AI excels at still image recognition, MovieNet is designed to understand complex, dynamic scenes, allowing it to recognize small changes over time. To create MovieNet, Hollis Cline, senior author of the study, examined how animals’ brains process real-world scenes. Specifically, he studied how tadpoles’ (蝌蚪的) neurons respond to moving stimuli. Tadpoles’ neurons process these visual inputs like solving puzzle pieces: each piece alone may not make sense, but together they form a complete image in motion. Different neurons process various “puzzle pieces” of a real-life moving image, which the brain then combines to form a continuous scene. Using this understanding, the researchers trained MovieNet to process video clips by identifying small visual signals, allowing it to distinguish between small changes in scenes. In testing, MovieNet achieved 82.3% accuracy, outperforming trained human observers by 18% and doing much better than existing AI models. Beyond its higher accuracy, MovieNet is more environment-friendly. Conventional AI requires vast amounts of data and energy, but MovieNet compresses (压缩) data like a zipped file, reducing environmental impact. “We’ve also made AI far less demanding,” says Cline. MovieNet could also transform medicine. It might help detect early signs of diseases by tracking small movement changes that are difficult for human eyes to detect. Looking ahead, the team plans to improve MovieNet’s ability to adapt to different environments and enhance its potential applications. “By designing models that think like living organisms (有机体), we can achieve efficiency levels that aren't possible with traditional AI,” says Cline, “Biology is a gold mine.” 12 What does the underlined word “simulating” mean in paragraph 2? A. Copying. B. Inspiring. C. Demonstrating. D. Recognizing. 13. MovieNet is trained ________. A. to integrate dynamic images B. to increase visual inputs C. to feed on information pieces D. to look into tadpoles’ neurons 14. According to paragraph 5, what is an advantage of MovieNet? A. Its powerful data storage. B. Its low energy consumption. C. Its control of medical diseases. D. Its improvement on drug effects. 15. What can be concluded from Cline’s words in the last paragraph? A. Biology brings us financial profits. B. Living organisms can outperform AI. C. AI can assist in biological development. D. Drawing inspiration from biology is promising. 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。 How to Determine the Best Time to Exercise Any time of the day you can commit to exercising is a good time for getting active. ____16____ Consider your lifestyle and exercise goals to help find the right time for you.

My mother had purchased a bar of it, and somehow, I couldn’t get it out of my mind. I was assisting my father on the farm. Just then, an idea struck me. I could cut off a chunk (厚块) of the chocolate. My mother would surely notice it, but before she discovered who had done it, I could admit that I had taken it. Probably, I might not even receive a spanking (打屁股). I waited until my mother went out to feed the chickens. Then, I told my father that I would go inside for some water. I took down the bar and was about to cut it when I heard my mother coming back. I reacted swiftly, slipping the chocolate into my pocket and running out. Before returning to help my father, I went to the barn and hid the chocolate there. On my way out, I calmed down a bit and could think more clearly. I told myself that I hadn’t actually stolen the entire bar of chocolate because I only intended to take a small piece. If I put the whole bar back, I wouldn’t have done anything wrong. I almost decided to put it all back. But just thinking about that chocolate made my tongue almost taste its smooth bitterness. I started thinking that if I sliced about half an inch off the end with a sharp knife, my mother might never notice it. Suddenly, I remembered what my father had said once — some of the family money was mine because I had helped earn it. Why wouldn’t it be okay to think that the bar of chocolate had been bought with my own money? That seemed to fix everything. 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。 That night I couldn’t sleep, wondering how I could make it secretly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By moonlight, just as I was about to cut it, my father said. “Son!” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 纳溪中学校高2023级高三年级上期第二次月考试题卷 英语 （考试时间：120分钟 全卷满分：150分） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上，听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。 1.

You can set aside some specific hours for football and focus on your studies during the rest of the time. This way, you can enjoy your hobby without sacrificing your academics. With a bit of time management, I’m sure you can make both your parents and teachers proud again. Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】Paragraph 1: That night I couldn’t sleep, wondering how I could make it secretly. Scared as I was, I still got up and slipped out into the yard secretly with a knife in my pocket. Then I worked up the courage to move into the barn and couldn’t wait to take out the chocolate immediately, with excitement in my eyes and nervousness. By the light of the moon, I cautiously opened the packing paper, the delicious smell entirely attracted me in it without noticing my father entering behind. Paragraph 2: By moonlight, just as I was about to cut it, my father said, “Son!” Afraid to be beaten out of breath, I grabbed up the bar of chocolate and hid it in my pocket before I turned around. I stood there motionlessly, head down in shame, wondering a spanking was probably unavoidable. Great to my surprise, my father came up to me, tapped my shoulder and said, “You could have had it if you’d asked for it.” A strong sense of guilt taking hold of me, I looked up in his eyes and nodded with agreement. I will never forget this valuable lesson that honesty is the best policy. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
