A taste of The Sound of Music Guests staying at the Hotel Hyperion can have a three-course meal inspired by The Sound of Music — thanks to Michael Daus, the executive chef of Gaumenfreund, the hotel’s on-site restaurant. Part art, part sculpture, and part deconstruction, each component of the meal is a nod to the movie, Alpine culture, or the original Trapp family. Take a singing bicycle tour Ideal for a family, Maria’s Bicycles offers a 3. 5-hour singing bicycle tour through all the major movie locations. Photo stops include the Mozart Bridge (where Maria and the children point at their favorite sights), Mirabell Gardens (from the famous “Do-Re-Mi” song), and the Felsenreitschule — the theater where the family sings “So Long” after winning the 1938 Salzburg Summer Festival. Stay at Schloss Leopoldskron Fans can check into Schloss Leopoldskron where scenes were filmed, including when viewers see Baron von Trapp and Baroness Schraeder drink pink lemonade, Maria and the children fall out of their boat, and Maria return from the abbey. However, the Venetian ballroom, staircase, and main foyer were reproduced in Hollywood. Recreate a famous scene Visitors to Salzburg can also take the Mönchsberg elevator or walk three miles to the Winkler Terrace, located by the Modern Museum of Salzburg. Fans can recreate the “Do-Re-Mi” scene. The view of the Salzach River and the old city center make a perfect backdrop for an Instagram-worthy snapshot. 1. What can guests at the Hotel Hyperion experience? A. A guided tour of the film locations. B. A dining occasion themed on the movie. C. A live performance of the movie’s songs. D. Traditional Austrian dishes mentioned in the film. 2. What can we learn about Schloss Leopoldskron? A. Some of its scenes were recreated in Hollywood. B. It is now a museum belonging to the Trapp family. C. Some film sets are not accessible to the public for visit. D It was the only filming location for The Sound of Music. 3. Which website is this text most likely from? A. Http: //www. Art. com/music. B. Http: //www. Economy. com/film. C. Http: //www. Life. com/destination. D. Http: //www. Geography. com/Salzburg. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。本文介绍了奥地利萨尔茨堡（Salzburg）作为经典电影《音乐之声》（The Sound of Music）的故事起源地，为影迷提供的四大沉浸式体验活动，包括主题餐饮、骑行游览、电影取景地住宿和经典场景复刻，展现了当地如何通过电影文化吸引游客的旅游特色。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Guests staying at the Hotel Hyperion can have a three-course meal inspired by The Sound of Music.(入住Hyperion酒店的客人可以品尝到以《音乐之声》为灵感的三道菜。)”可知，在Hyperion酒店的客人可以体验到以电影为主题的用餐场合。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“However, the Venetian ballroom, staircase, and main foyer were reproduced in Hollywood.(然而，威尼斯舞厅、楼梯和主门厅是在好莱坞重现的。)”可知，利奥波德斯科伦城堡的一些场景在好莱坞被重现。故选A。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。本文介绍了奥地利萨尔茨堡（Salzburg）作为经典电影《音乐之声》（The Sound of Music）的故事起源地，为影迷提供的四大沉浸式体验活动，包括主题餐饮、骑行游览、电影取景地住宿和经典场景复刻，展现了当地如何通过电影文化吸引游客的旅游特色。由此可推知，文章最有可能来自一个与生活方式和旅游目的地相关的网站。故选C。 B I’m a child of traditional book reading. I used to go through one book continuously from beginning to end, taking notes and highlighting passages I like, not in one seating of course. Then on to the next book. It was a slow but deeper way to absorb a book. When I landed a job, most of my tasks involved reading a lot for projects. Evelyn Wood’s Speed Reading lessons helped me breeze through my reading requirements. But if a book really interested me, I would switch to my slow reading mode, but still one book at a time. Nowadays I have acquired this habit of multiple book reading, jumping from book to book without finishing one book first. Half an hour on one book, then another book in the next half. Three books at home, and another three in the office. I also have e-books. Have you seen Jumper, a movie where the hero has the ability to instantly transport himself to any place or time? So it’s like jumping between books without staying too long in one. You can move from world to world: Quantum physics now, renaissance time next. From person to person: Lawrence of Arab now, then Thomas More. You have in your hands the ability to change the scene on a whim (一时兴起), so you never get bored. It’s like a buffet in front of you. A variety and contrast of the food items on your plate awakens your taste buds and even results in new dish mixture. Multiple book reading helps “spice up things”. You can take a little from every plate of food and then nibble on each dish alternately. Sometimes, I unconsciously mix some of the dishes and the improvised mixing can create something surprisingly delicious. So far, I’ve kind of gotten the hang of juggling multiple books I can stop at any point and switch to slow mode if something really catches my interest. In fact, new research finds that “mixing it up”, a learning process called “Interlearning” that involves alternating between topics during one study session, produces dramatic and long-lasting learning benefits. If this is true, then my reading evolution has been in the right direction all along. 4. What was the author’s way of reading books in the past? A. skipping through books randomly. B. Reading one book straight through. C. Reading several books in one seating. D. Using speed-reading methods constantly. 5. Why does the author enjoy multiple book reading? A. It offers the author variety and new insights. B. It meets the author’s job requirements better. C. It allows the author to change his ability at will. D. It enables in-depth understanding of each book. 6. Why is the new research mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To prove the benefits of multiple-book reading. B. To question the value of slow-reading practices. C. To show the academic advantages of “interlearning”. D. To persuade readers to adopt multiple-book reading. 7. What can be the best title for this passage? A. My Experience of Speed Reading. B. My Evolution As a Book Reader. C. Single vs Multiple: A Reader’s Dilemma. D. Depth vs Variety: A Reader’s Crossroads. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。这篇文章主要讲述了作者读书方式的演变，从过去的逐本精读，到后来结合快速阅读和慢读，再到如今的多本书同时阅读，并阐述了这种阅读方式的优势，还结合新研究说明其学习益处。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I’m a child of traditional book reading. I used to go through one book continuously from beginning to end, taking notes and highlighting passages I like, not in one seating of course.(我从小就习惯于传统的阅读方式。过去我常常会从头到尾持续读完一本书，还会做笔记并标出喜欢的段落，当然并不是一次就全部读完)”可知，作者过去是从头至尾连续读一本书。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“It’s like a buffet in front of you. A variety and contrast of the food items on your plate awakens your taste buds and even results in new dish mixture. Multiple book reading helps “spice up things”. You can take a little from every plate of food and then nibble on each dish alternately. Sometimes, I unconsciously mix some of the dishes and the improvised mixing can create something surprisingly delicious.(这就像摆在你面前的一场盛宴。盘中的各种各样的食物激发了你的味蕾，甚至还会让你创造出新的搭配组合。多次阅读书籍有助于“增添趣味”。你可以从每盘食物中取一点，然后依次品尝每道菜。有时，我会不自觉地将一些菜肴混合在一起，这种即兴的搭配可能会创造出令人惊喜的美味佳肴)”可知，多本书阅读能给作者带来多样性和新见解，避免无聊。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“So far, I’ve kind of gotten the hang of juggling multiple books I can stop at any point and switch to slow mode if something really catches my interest. In fact, new research finds that “mixing it up”, a learning process called “Interlearning” that involves alternating between topics during one study session, produces dramatic and long-lasting learning benefits. If this is true, then my reading evolution has been in the right direction all along.(到目前为止，我已经掌握了同时阅读多本书籍的技巧。在任何时刻我都可以停下来，切换到慢速阅读模式，如果有什么内容特别吸引我的话。事实上，新的研究发现，“混合学习”——一种被称为“交叉学习”的学习过程，即在一个学习时段内交替涉及不同的主题——会产生显著且持久的学习效果。如果这是真的，那么我的阅读进步方向一直都是正确的)”可知，提及该研究是为了证明多本书阅读的益处，故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“I’m a child of traditional book reading.(我从小就习惯于传统的阅读方式)”、第二段“When I landed a job, most of my tasks involved reading a lot for projects.(当我找到这份工作后，我的大部分工作内容就是为项目大量阅读资料)”、第三段“Nowadays I have acquired this habit of multiple book reading, jumping from book to book without finishing one book first.(如今我已经养成了这种边读多本书边不先读完一本书就直接跳到下一本的习惯)”以及文章围绕作者从传统读书方式到多本书阅读的演变展开，B选项“我作为读书人的成长历程”最符合文章标题，故选B。 C Olga Khazan, a writer at the Atlantic magazine, argues that what we think of as our personality is not something innate. In “Me, but Better”, Ms. Khazan records her attempts to change elements of her own personality by adjusting the so-called big-five qualities, such as openness and extroversion (外向). Ms. Khazan’s goal is to transform herself, over the course of one year, from a disagreeable introvert into a sunnier, livelier, more friendly extrovert. An enjoyable life seems well worth a bit of effort. She forces herself to take risks in improvisational comedy. She sets about throwing parties. She practices mindfulness. She feeds the homeless. While exploring “the science and promise of personality change”, the author is humorously open about her embarrassing efforts to break away from her familiar self. She admits joylessness and short-temper. Her openness has the effect of getting readers on her side. We’re supporting her and, to be honest, we’re supporting ourselves, too. Yet let’s say we can: Let’s say we manage to adjust our big-five personality qualities so that we enhance our positive parts and reduce our deficiencies. How would we even know? One of the difficulties that any self-reformer faces is in measuring how much change his or her efforts have achieved. Ms. Khazan gets around this problem by regularly assessing her personality via a particular academic website. She uses the site’s free questionnaire, takes the test again and tracks the changes regularly. There is a lot of common sense here. Fake it until you make it. Your emotions follow your actions. Also: Other people are paying less attention to you than you imagine. It should be admitted that Ms. Khazan’s stories, though rich in funny real-life examples, is pretty thin on science. But it’s an entertaining read — and encouraging too. 8. What does the underlined word “innate” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Naturally present at birth. B. Easily changed over time. C. Influenced by environment. D. Learned through experience. 9. What challenge do self-reformers commonly face? A. They need professional instructions to succeed. B. They always end up returning to their old habits. C. They feel unsure about the progress of their efforts. D. They find that personality is too hard to be changed. 10. Which of the following can best describe Ms. Khazan’s writing style? A. Serious and logical. B. Formal and debatable. C. Academic and technical. D. Engaging and humorous. 11. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To clarify ways to be more outgoing. B. To review a book on personality change. C. To explain measurement of personal qualities. D. To summarize methods of personality change. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍奥尔加・卡赞的《Me, but Better》，讲述其改变性格的尝试及书的特点。 【8题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第一段“Olga Khazan, a writer at the Atlantic magazine, argues that what we think of as our personality is not something innate. In “Me, but Better”, Ms. Khazan records her attempts to change elements of her own personality by adjusting the so-called big-five qualities, such as openness and extroversion(外向)(奥尔加·卡赞（Olga Khazan）是《大西洋》（Atlantic）杂志的一名作家，她认为我们所认为的个性并非是innate的。在《更好的我》（Me, but Better）一书中，卡赞女士记录了她通过调整所谓的大五人格特质，如开放性和外向性，来改变自己个性要素的尝试)”可知，Khazan女士试图改变自己的性格特质，这表明她认为性格不是与生俱来的东西，可推理出“innate”的意思是“天生的”。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“One of the difficulties that any self - reformer faces is in measuring how much change his or her efforts have achieved(任何自我改革者面临的困难之一是衡量自己的努力取得了多少成果)”可知，自我改革者通常面临的挑战是不确定自己努力的进展情况。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“While exploring “the science and promise of personality change”, the author is humorously open about her embarrassing efforts to break away from her familiar self(在探索“人格改变的科学与前景”时，作者幽默地坦然面对自己为摆脱熟悉的自我所做的尴尬努力)”以及最后一段“It should be admitted that Ms. Khazan’s stories, though rich in funny real - life examples, is pretty thin on science. But it’s an entertaining read—and encouraging too(应该承认，卡赞女士的故事虽然有很多有趣的现实生活例子，但在科学依据方面比较薄弱。但这是一篇有趣的读物，也很鼓舞人心)”可知，Khazan女士在讲述自己改变性格的经历时很幽默，并且她的故事富有有趣的生活实例，读起来很有趣，可推理出她的写作风格是引人入胜且幽默的。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Olga Khazan, a writer at the Atlantic magazine, argues that what we think of as our personality is not something innate. In “Me, but Better”, Ms. Khazan records her attempts to change elements of her own personality by adjusting the so-called big-five qualities, such as openness and extroversion(外向)(奥尔加·卡赞（Olga Khazan）是《大西洋》（Atlantic）杂志的一名作家，她认为我们所认为的个性并非是innate的。在《更好的我》（Me, but Better）一书中，卡赞女士记录了她通过调整所谓的大五人格特质，如开放性和外向性，来改变自己个性要素的尝试)”、第三段“While exploring “the science and promise of personality change”, the author is humorously open about her embarrassing efforts to break away from her familiar self(在探索“人格改变的科学与前景”时，作者幽默地坦然面对自己为摆脱熟悉的自我所做的尴尬努力)”以及最后一段“It should be admitted that Ms. Khazan’s stories, though rich in funny real - life examples, is pretty thin on science. But it’s an entertaining read—and encouraging too(应该承认，卡赞女士的故事虽然有很多有趣的现实生活例子，但在科学依据方面比较薄弱。但这是一篇有趣的读物，也很鼓舞人心)”可知，文章主要介绍了Olga Khazan在《Me, but Better》一书中记录自己改变性格的尝试、面临的挑战、解决办法以及写作风格等内容，所以这篇文章的主要目的是回顾一本关于性格改变的书。故选B项。 D As bird numbers fall worldwide, scientists are using algorithm (算法)-powered apps to gather data about bird species. One such example is the owl project, where researchers placed more than 1,600 recorders to track where the endangered species spends its time. But that’s a lot for a human to sort through. “There’s no way we can listen to that— not even close, right?” says Connor Wood, a researcher leading the owl project. “We need flexible tools to identify as many bird species as possible.” In 2016, Connor Wood approached Stefan Kahl, a computer scientist at Chemnitz University, to help create an algorithm that processes bird sounds recorded in the wild. Two years later, the team launched the official BirdNET app, which allows people to upload their own recordings from various devices. The app converts a bird’s song into an image of soundwaves known as spectrogram (声谱图). Then, the image is fed into the app’s algorithm which can accurately show the unique frequency changes, timing, and amplitude (振幅) of a particular call. “These patterns that the algorithms find are much more subtle and fine-grained than what any human could do,” says Kahl. It turns out this team actually can process this flood of data—they just need a little help from BirdNET, an AI-powered system that can identify more than 6,000 species of birds just by their calls. Wood and his team recently used BirdNET to create the first ecosystem-wide assessment of spotted owl populations across the Sierra Nevada. This information shows owl population trends that can boost restoration and conservation efforts. Over the past decade, several apps have popped up that use AI to identify different bird sounds. However, like most AI-based technology, these apps aren’t without limitations. In 2023, ecologist Pérez-Granados found that BirdNET didn’t always register a bird’s song, and sometimes misidentified it as another species. There are some ways to lessen these risks, including accounting for uncertainty using statistical models or manually going through identifications to double check data. For a 2022 study, Wood and his team assessed the accuracy of BirdNET submissions, and found their data could successfully reproduce the known migratory routes of several North American and European birds. And more research shows AI can identify bird behaviors and distribution, which is critical for conservation. 12. Why do researchers need flexible tools according to paragraph 2? A. Bird songs are hard to hear in recordings. B. There are too many recordings to process. C. Recordings have lots of background noise. D. Manual work often leads to more mistakes. 13. How does BirdNet identify bird species? A. By analyzing bird call patterns. B. By recording videos and sounds. C. By showing bird images and clips. D. By describing bird behavior details. 14. What do the findings of Cristian Pérez-Granados suggest? A. BirdNET detects bird species accurately. B. BirdNET helps protect endangered birds. C. Algorithms clearly underperform humans. D. AI-based tools may have certain problems. 15. What is suggested to improve BirdNET’s performance? A. Mapping global bird distribution patterns. B. Expanding the BirdNET’s recording range. C. Combining manual and technical methods. D. Improving the accuracy of the submissions. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，围绕“AI技术助力鸟类保护”展开，介绍了BirdNET应用程序的开发背景、工作原理，以及其在鸟类数据收集和种群评估中的作用，同时也提及该类AI工具的局限性及改进方法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“One such example is the owl project, where researchers placed more than 1,600 recorders to track where the endangered species spends its time. But that’s a lot for a human to sort through. “There’s no way we can listen to that— not even close, right?” says Connor Wood, a researcher leading the owl project. “We need flexible tools to identify as many bird species as possible.”(猫头鹰项目就是这样一个例子：研究人员放置了1600多台记录仪，追踪这种濒危物种的活动地点。但这些数据量太大，人类根本无法逐一处理。“我们不可能听完所有录音 —— 完全不可能，对吧？” 猫头鹰项目的负责人、研究员康纳・伍德说道，“我们需要灵活的工具，来识别尽可能多的鸟类物种”)”可知，研究人员需要灵活工具的核心原因是记录仪产生的录音数据过多，人力难以处理。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The app converts a bird’s song into an image of soundwaves known as spectrogram. Then, the image is fed into the app’s algorithm which can accurately show the unique frequency changes, timing, and amplitude of a particular call. (该应用将鸟鸣声转换为名为声谱图的声波图像。随后，这张图像会被输入应用的算法中，算法能准确识别特定鸣叫的独特频率变化、时长和振幅)”可知，BirdNET通过分析鸟鸣的频率、时长、振幅等模式来识别鸟类物种。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“However, like most AI-based technology, these apps aren’t without limitations. In 2023, ecologist Pérez-Granados found that BirdNET didn’t always register a bird’s song, and sometimes misidentified it as another species. (然而，和大多数AI技术一样，这些应用也并非没有局限性。2023年，生态学家佩雷斯-格拉纳多斯发现，BirdNET有时无法识别出鸟鸣声，有时还会将其误判为其他物种的声音)”可知，佩雷斯-格拉纳多斯的发现表明“基于AI的工具（如BirdNET）可能存在一定问题”。故选D项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中的“There are some ways to lessen these risks, including accounting for uncertainty using statistical models or manually going through identifications to double check data. (有一些方法可以降低这些风险，包括使用统计模型考虑不确定性，或通过人工逐一核对识别结果来复查数据)”可知，改进BirdNET性能的方法包括技术手段（统计模型）与人工手段结合”。故选C项。 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。 The Importance of Being Independent The capacity to become independent is not everyone possesses. ___16___ Learning to support yourself is essential for any success you ever hope to attain. At the end of the day, you only have yourself to fall back on, so it’s very important to deal with things on your own. People bank on others far more than it is necessary. People put their happiness in the hands of a significant person, thinking this will bring them satisfaction. ___17___ Should you always rely on someone else? Of course not. ___18___ Therefore, what you should learn is how to make decisions on your own. Some people fail to become independent for a variety of reasons, with fear the biggest: the fear of isolation, the fear of rejection and the fear of the prospect. On the contrary, there is no reason to base your life decisions on relationships with people. All relationships come to an end at some point or another. ___19___ The only thing you can do is to update your understanding of relationships. Instead of expecting them to bring you happiness and provide you with enjoyment, appreciate the time spent and enjoyment shared since you know it will be gone one day. ___20___ Don’t wait for others’ suggestions, decide yourself and learn from your own mistakes. Many people are afraid to think for themselves because that involves taking responsibility for their own lives. This is just one way people become gradually-dependent. We are born alone and we die alone, so we each have to take responsibility for our lives at every step along the way. A. You can not do anything to change or affect that. B. A great many people make this serious error these days. C. Make decisions by and for yourself, whatever they may be. D. However, you need to be independent in order to survive in the world. E. You can control your own life by making your own choices. F. In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is wait for the right time. G. Not only are you limiting yourself, you are also likely to become a burden to this person. 【答案】16. D 17. B 18. G 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了独立的重要性，强调自我支持和自主决策的必要性。 【16题详解】 由上文“The capacity to become independent is not everyone possesses.

(学会养活自己是你希望获得的任何成功的基础。)”强调了学会独立的重要性，由此可知，设空处应说明独立的重要性，与上文构成转折关系。D选项“However, you need to be independent in order to survive in the world. (然而，为了在这个世界上生存，你需要独立。)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选D。 【17题详解】 由上文“People bank on others far more than it is necessary. People put their happiness in the hands of a significant person, thinking this will bring them satisfaction. (人们过于依赖他人。人们把自己的幸福寄托在一个重要的人身上，认为这会给他们带来满足感。)”可知，人们过于依赖他人，把幸福寄托在他人身上，本空应指出很多人都在犯过度依赖他人的错误。B选项“A great many people make this serious error these days. (如今，很多人都犯了这个严重的错误。)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选B。 【18题详解】 由上文“Should you always rely on someone else? Of course not. (你应该总是依赖别人吗?当然不是。)”可知，不应该依赖别人，下文“Therefore, what you should learn is how to make decisions on your own. (因此，你应该学习的是如何自己做决定。)”说明应该学会自己做决定，由此可知，设空处应指出这种做法的弊端。G选项“Not only are you limiting yourself, you are also likely to become a burden to this person. (你不仅限制了自己，还很可能成为这个人的负担。)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选G。 【19题详解】 由上文“On the contrary, there is no reason to base your life decisions on relationships with people. All relationships come to an end at some point or another. (相反，没有理由把你的生活决定建立在与他人的关系上。所有的关系在某个时刻都会结束。)”可知，人际关系总有一天会结束，下文“The only thing you can do is to update your understanding of relationships. (你唯一能做的就是更新你对关系的理解。)”说明我们能做的就是更新对关系的理解，由此可知，设空处应说明人际关系结束，我们无法改变。A选项“You can not do anything to change or affect that. (你无法改变或影响这一点。)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选A。 【20题详解】 由下文“Don’t wait for others’ suggestions, decide yourself and learn from your own mistakes.

Historically 41. its 42. as 43 to 44. collection 45. conveying 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了2025年北京嘉德艺术中心举办“感知微笑”艺术展览，该展览展示了青州及其周边地区的古代佛教雕塑，阐述了青州在古代的重要地位、青州博物馆的情况以及“青州微笑”雕塑的特点。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：2025年1月19日至3月12日，北京嘉德艺术中心举办的艺术展览“感知微笑”展出了近50件来自青州及其周边地区的古代佛教雕塑。句中已有谓语动词“featured”，所以“hold”要用非谓语形式。“hold”与“an art exhibition”之间是被动关系，即展览是被嘉德艺术中心举办的，所以用过去分词held作后置定语。故填held。 【37题详解】 考查冠词。句意：这些雕塑是中国古代雕塑艺术的见证，展现出一种独特的艺术表达，自1996年从青州龙兴寺遗址出土以来，这种表达就被称为“青州微笑”。此处表示泛指“一种独特的艺术表达”，“unique”虽以元音字母“u”开头，但发音以辅音音素 /juː/ 开头，所以用不定冠词a。故填a。 【38题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：这些雕塑是中国古代雕塑艺术的见证，展现出一种独特的艺术表达，自1996年从青州龙兴寺遗址出土以来，这种表达就被称为“青州微笑”。根据时间状语“since they were unearthed in 1996”可知，此处强调从过去某一时间开始一直持续到现在的动作，应用现在完成时。又因为“expression”与“refer to... as...”（把……称作……）之间是被动关系，即这种艺术表达被称作“青州微笑”，所以要用现在完成时的被动语态，其结构为“have/has been +过去分词”，主语“expression”是单数，所以用has been referred。故填has been referred。 【39题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：青州位于北京东南460公里处，如今是一个小县级市，但在古代却有着显著的地位。“____4____ is a small county-level city now”是非限制性定语从句，先行词是“Qingzhou”，指物，在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which引导，that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。 【40题详解】 考查副词。句意：从历史角度看，青州曾涵盖从渤海以南到泰山以北的大片区域。此处需要一个副词来修饰整个句子，表示“从历史上来说”，historic的副词形式是historically，句首首字母大写。故填Historically。 【41题详解】 考查代词。句意：凭借其肥沃的土壤，它曾是中国东部的政治、经济和文化中心。此处修饰名词“fertile soil”，应用形容词性物主代词，it的形容词性物主代词是its，表示“它的”。故填its。 【42题详解】 考查连词。句意：然而，随着时间的推移，青州的重要性逐渐减弱，沦为一个小县城。“as time passed”是常见表达，意为“随着时间的流逝”，as引导时间状语从句，强调两个动作同时进行，符合语境。故填as。 【43题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：尽管如此，青州拥有一个著名的文化机构——青州博物馆，它被列为国家一级博物馆。“be home to...”是固定短语，意为“是……的所在地，有……”，所以此处填to。故填to。 【44题详解】 考查名词。句意：作为唯一获此高等级的县级博物馆，青州博物馆拥有超过5万件文物的丰富藏品，其中包括3000多件珍贵文物。根据空前的形容词“extensive”可知，此处需要填名词，collect的名词形式是collection，意为“收藏品，藏品”，前面有不定冠词an修饰，所以用单数形式。故填collection。 【45题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：其中最著名珍宝是所谓的“青州微笑”。这些雕像以其温柔安详的表情为特征，每一张雕刻的脸庞都传达出一种温暖与宁静，反映了独特的青州佛教艺术风格。“with each sculpted face ____10____ (convey) a sense of warmth and serenity”是“with +宾语+宾语补足语”的结构，在句中作状语。“each sculpted face”与“convey”之间是主动关系，即脸庞主动传达出某种感觉，所以用现在分词conveying作宾语补足语。故填conveying。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假定你是新华中学学生会主席李华。你校拟于下月举办主题为“劳动创造美好未来(Labor Creates a Bright Future)”的英语演讲比赛。请你给外教Mr. Smith写一封邮件，邀请他担任评委。 内容包括： 1.活动时间和地点； 2.活动意义。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Mr. Smith, I’m Li Hua, president of the Students’ Union at Xinhua Middle School. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Mr. Smith, I’m Li Hua, president of the Students’ Union at Xinhua Middle School.

Jake was brilliant but sometimes seemed absent-minded. As his best friend since kindergarten, it somehow became my job to keep him on track. People even joked that I was his personal assistant — always the one carrying backup pens and reminding him of due dates. But in most cases, I was shy, and my heart beat fast and my palms sweated when I spoke in public. Jake’s creativity, however, was amazing. One time, he came up with the idea of building a mini solar-powered car. His eyes sparkled with excitement as he sketched out the design on a piece of paper, his pencil moving so fast that I could barely keep up. I watched in amazement as he carefully assembled the parts, his fingers skillfully connecting wires and attaching tiny motors. When the car finally moved under the sunlight, his face lit up with pride. His success was a mix of pure joy and a bit of disbelief — he had never imagined his unique ideas could be so well-received. His idea won him special innovation awards and honors at school, and he was featured in the local newspaper. Despite his forgetfulness in daily life, his mind was always buzzing with brilliant ideas that had the potential to change things. When our school announced the science fair, I knew right away we had to join. Jake had the creative ideas, and I could make sure everything actually got done. We decided to build a smart alarm clock — Jake would design the app, and I would take care of the building. Weeks passed, and Jake kept coming up with cool new features to add. Meanwhile, I spent every afternoon in the garage, putting pieces together, and double-checking our model. The night before the fair, just as I was testing the final version, Jake texted: “Forgot to tell you: I’ve got invited to an art camp tomorrow. You can present without me, right? ” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 My hands froze. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Taking the gold medal from the principal, I instantly realized Jake’s original intention. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 My hands froze. I stared at the screen, not sure whether to be angry or disappointed — maybe both. After everything we’d done together, how could he just leave? The next morning, I carried our project to school alone, stomach tight with nerves. I stood by our model, trying to sound confident while explaining the design to the judges. To my surprise, we won. In the end, the principal walked towards me with a first prize medal in hand and a smile on his face. (82words) Taking the gold medal from the principal, I instantly realized Jake’s original intention. He hadn’t merely forgotten the science fair. He deliberately stepped back, allowing me to take center stage and shine brightly so that I could overcome my self-doubt speaking in public. Then I felt a mix of gratitude and admiration for him. Not only was our friendship about me keeping him on track, but also about us supporting each other in different ways. Jake’s brilliance and my reliability were a perfect team, and I realized that true friendship is about selflessness and mutual understanding. (83 words) 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和其朋友Jake之间的友谊与合作。作者一直是他们友谊中负责的一方，而Jake虽然聪明但有时显得心不在焉。Jake具有惊人的创造力，曾提出建造迷你太阳能汽车的想法并成功实现，赢得了学校的创新奖项和荣誉。当学校宣布举办科学展览时，他们决定合作建造一个智能闹钟，Jake负责设计应用程序，作者负责实际建造。然而，在展览前一天，Jake因被邀请参加艺术营而无法出席，留下作者独自完成展览的准备。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“我的手僵住了。”可知，第一段可描写作者因Jake在科学展前缺席而愤怒失望，却不得不独自带项目参赛，过程中紧张不安，最终项目意外获奖，校长为作者颁发一等奖奖章。 ②由第二段首句内容“从校长手中接过金牌时，我立刻明白了Jake的初衷。”可知，第二段可描写领悟到Jake缺席科学展是故意让作者突破自我、克服当众发言的自卑，由此对他心生感激与钦佩，进而感悟到真正的友谊是彼此以不同方式互相支持。 2.续写线索：感到愤怒和失望——独自参赛——感到紧张不安——意外获奖——领悟倒Jake的用意——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①盯着：stare at/fix one’s eyes on ②尝试做某事：try to do sth/attempt to do sth ③解释：explain/account for ④克服：overcome/get over 情绪类 ①令某人惊讶的是：to one’s surprise/to one’s amazement ②生气的：angry/cross 【点睛】[高分句型1]He deliberately stepped back, allowing me to take center stage and shine brightly so that I could overcome my self-doubt speaking in public.（运用了现在分词作状语，so that引导目的状语从句） [高分句型2]Jake’s brilliance and my reliability were a perfect team, and I realized that true friendship is about selflessness and mutual understanding.（运用了that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 三台中学2023级高三第二次月考试卷英语 本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 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) 请听下面5段对话，选出最佳选项。 1.

A taste of The Sound of Music Guests staying at the Hotel Hyperion can have a three-course meal inspired by The Sound of Music — thanks to Michael Daus, the executive chef of Gaumenfreund, the hotel’s on-site restaurant. Part art, part sculpture, and part deconstruction, each component of the meal is a nod to the movie, Alpine culture, or the original Trapp family. Take a singing bicycle tour Ideal for a family, Maria’s Bicycles offers a 3. 5-hour singing bicycle tour through all the major movie locations. Photo stops include the Mozart Bridge (where Maria and the children point at their favorite sights), Mirabell Gardens (from the famous “Do-Re-Mi” song), and the Felsenreitschule — the theater where the family sings “So Long” after winning the 1938 Salzburg Summer Festival. Stay at Schloss Leopoldskron Fans can check into Schloss Leopoldskron where scenes were filmed, including when viewers see Baron von Trapp and Baroness Schraeder drink pink lemonade, Maria and the children fall out of their boat, and Maria return from the abbey. However, the Venetian ballroom, staircase, and main foyer were reproduced in Hollywood. Recreate a famous scene Visitors to Salzburg can also take the Mönchsberg elevator or walk three miles to the Winkler Terrace, located by the Modern Museum of Salzburg. Fans can recreate the “Do-Re-Mi” scene. The view of the Salzach River and the old city center make a perfect backdrop for an Instagram-worthy snapshot. 1. What can guests at the Hotel Hyperion experience? A. A guided tour of the film locations. B. A dining occasion themed on the movie. C. A live performance of the movie’s songs. D. Traditional Austrian dishes mentioned in the film. 2. What can we learn about Schloss Leopoldskron? A. Some of its scenes were recreated in Hollywood. B. It is now a museum belonging to the Trapp family. C. Some film sets are not accessible to the public for visit. D. It was the only filming location for The Sound of Music. 3. Which website is this text most likely from? A. Http: //www. Art. com/music. B. Http: //www. Economy. com/film. C. Http: //www. Life. com/destination. D. Http: //www. Geography. com/Salzburg. B I’m a child of traditional book reading. I used to go through one book continuously from beginning to end, taking notes and highlighting passages I like, not in one seating of course. Then on to the next book. It was a slow but deeper way to absorb a book. When I landed a job, most of my tasks involved reading a lot for projects. Evelyn Wood’s Speed Reading lessons helped me breeze through my reading requirements. But if a book really interested me, I would switch to my slow reading mode, but still one book at a time. Nowadays I have acquired this habit of multiple book reading jumping from book to book without finishing one book first. Half an hour on one book, then another book in the next half. Three books at home, and another three in the office. I also have e-books. Have you seen Jumper, a movie where the hero has the ability to instantly transport himself to any place or time? So it’s like jumping between books without staying too long in one. You can move from world to world: Quantum physics now, renaissance time next. From person to person: Lawrence of Arab now, then Thomas More. You have in your hands the ability to change the scene on a whim (一时兴起), so you never get bored. It’s like a buffet in front of you. A variety and contrast of the food items on your plate awakens your taste buds and even results in new dish mixture. Multiple book reading helps “spice up things”. You can take a little from every plate of food and then nibble on each dish alternately. Sometimes, I unconsciously mix some of the dishes and the improvised mixing can create something surprisingly delicious. So far, I’ve kind of gotten the hang of juggling multiple books I can stop at any point and switch to slow mode if something really catches my interest. In fact, new research finds that “mixing it up”, a learning process called “Interlearning” that involves alternating between topics during one study session, produces dramatic and long-lasting learning benefits. If this is true, then my reading evolution has been in the right direction all along. 4. What was the author’s way of reading books in the past? A. skipping through books randomly. B. Reading one book straight through. C. Reading several books in one seating. D. Using speed-reading methods constantly. 5. Why does the author enjoy multiple book reading? A. It offers the author variety and new insights. B. It meets the author’s job requirements better. C. It allows the author to change his ability at will. D. It enables in-depth understanding of each book. 6. Why is the new research mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To prove the benefits of multiple-book reading. B. To question the value of slow-reading practices. C. To show the academic advantages of “interlearning”. D. To persuade readers to adopt multiple-book reading. 7 What can be the best title for this passage? A. My Experience of Speed Reading. B. My Evolution As a Book Reader. C. Single vs Multiple: A Reader’s Dilemma. D. Depth vs Variety: A Reader’s Crossroads. C Olga Khazan, a writer at the Atlantic magazine, argues that what we think of as our personality is not something innate. In “Me, but Better”, Ms. Khazan records her attempts to change elements of her own personality by adjusting the so-called big-five qualities, such as openness and extroversion (外向). Ms. Khazan’s goal is to transform herself, over the course of one year, from a disagreeable introvert into a sunnier, livelier, more friendly extrovert. An enjoyable life seems well worth a bit of effort. She forces herself to take risks in improvisational comedy. She sets about throwing parties. She practices mindfulness. She feeds the homeless. While exploring “the science and promise of personality change”, the author is humorously open about her embarrassing efforts to break away from her familiar self. She admits joylessness and short-temper. Her openness has the effect of getting readers on her side. We’re supporting her and, to be honest, we’re supporting ourselves, too. Yet let’s say we can: Let’s say we manage to adjust our big-five personality qualities so that we enhance our positive parts and reduce our deficiencies. How would we even know? One of the difficulties that any self-reformer faces is in measuring how much change his or her efforts have achieved. Ms. Khazan gets around this problem by regularly assessing her personality via a particular academic website. She uses the site’s free questionnaire, takes the test again and tracks the changes regularly. There is a lot of common sense here. Fake it until you make it. Your emotions follow your actions. Also: Other people are paying less attention to you than you imagine. It should be admitted that Ms. Khazan’s stories, though rich in funny real-life examples, is pretty thin on science. But it’s an entertaining read — and encouraging too. 8. What does the underlined word “innate” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Naturally present at birth. B. Easily changed over time. C.

One such example is the owl project, where researchers placed more than 1,600 recorders to track where the endangered species spends its time. But that’s a lot for a human to sort through. “There’s no way we can listen to that— not even close, right?” says Connor Wood, a researcher leading the owl project. “We need flexible tools to identify as many bird species as possible.” In 2016, Connor Wood approached Stefan Kahl, a computer scientist at Chemnitz University, to help create an algorithm that processes bird sounds recorded in the wild. Two years later, the team launched the official BirdNET app, which allows people to upload their own recordings from various devices. The app converts a bird’s song into an image of soundwaves known as spectrogram (声谱图). Then, the image is fed into the app’s algorithm which can accurately show the unique frequency changes, timing, and amplitude (振幅) of a particular call. “These patterns that the algorithms find are much more subtle and fine-grained than what any human could do,” says Kahl. It turns out this team actually can process this flood of data—they just need a little help from BirdNET, an AI-powered system that can identify more than 6,000 species of birds just by their calls. Wood and his team recently used BirdNET to create the first ecosystem-wide assessment of spotted owl populations across the Sierra Nevada. This information shows owl population trends that can boost restoration and conservation efforts. Over the past decade, several apps have popped up that use AI to identify different bird sounds. However, like most AI-based technology, these apps aren’t without limitations. In 2023, ecologist Pérez-Granados found that BirdNET didn’t always register a bird’s song, and sometimes misidentified it as another species. There are some ways to lessen these risks, including accounting for uncertainty using statistical models or manually going through identifications to double check data. For a 2022 study, Wood and his team assessed the accuracy of BirdNET submissions, and found their data could successfully reproduce the known migratory routes of several North American and European birds. And more research shows AI can identify bird behaviors and distribution, which is critical for conservation. 12. Why do researchers need flexible tools according to paragraph 2? A. Bird songs are hard to hear in recordings. B. There are too many recordings to process. C. Recordings have lots of background noise. D. Manual work often leads to more mistakes. 13. How does BirdNet identify bird species? A. By analyzing bird call patterns. B. By recording videos and sounds. C. By showing bird images and clips. D. By describing bird behavior details. 14. What do the findings of Cristian Pérez-Granados suggest? A. BirdNET detects bird species accurately. B. BirdNET helps protect endangered birds. C. Algorithms clearly underperform humans. D. AI-based tools may have certain problems. 15. What is suggested to improve BirdNET’s performance? A. Mapping global bird distribution patterns. B. Expanding the BirdNET’s recording range. C. Combining manual and technical methods. D. Improving the accuracy of the submissions. 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。 The Importance of Being Independent The capacity to become independent is not everyone possesses. ___16___ Learning to support yourself is essential for any success you ever hope to attain.

Jake was brilliant but sometimes seemed absent-minded. As his best friend since kindergarten, it somehow became my job to keep him on track. People even joked that I was his personal assistant — always the one carrying backup pens and reminding him of due dates. But in most cases, I was shy, and my heart beat fast and my palms sweated when I spoke in public. Jake’s creativity, however, was amazing. One time, he came up with the idea of building a mini solar-powered car. His eyes sparkled with excitement as he sketched out the design on a piece of paper, his pencil moving so fast that I could barely keep up. I watched in amazement as he carefully assembled the parts, his fingers skillfully connecting wires and attaching tiny motors. When the car finally moved under the sunlight, his face lit up with pride. His success was a mix of pure joy and a bit of disbelief — he had never imagined his unique ideas could be so well-received. His idea won him special innovation awards and honors at school, and he was featured in the local newspaper. Despite his forgetfulness in daily life, his mind was always buzzing with brilliant ideas that had the potential to change things. When our school announced the science fair, I knew right away we had to join. Jake had the creative ideas, and I could make sure everything actually got done. We decided to build a smart alarm clock — Jake would design the app, and I would take care of the building. Weeks passed, and Jake kept coming up with cool new features to add. Meanwhile, I spent every afternoon in the garage, putting pieces together, and double-checking our model. The night before the fair, just as I was testing the final version, Jake texted: “Forgot to tell you: I’ve got invited to an art camp tomorrow. You can present without me, right? ” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 My hands froze. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Taking the gold medal from the principal, I instantly realized Jake’s original intention. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
