Pomodoro Time Tracker B When Joshua Coombes got off the bus in Washington, D.C. , on this past February, he didn’t set off the usual tourist attractions along the National Mall. Instead, the London-based hairdresser (理发师) headed for the marble fountain where homeless people gather outside. Most travelers walk by without a second glance. So what Coombes did next may well have surprise them: He chatted with them, pulled out his scissors and gave them haircuts, free of charge. Whether in London, New York or Washington, D.C. , homelessness can seem like a problem too huge and difficult to deal with. But Coombes realized that he didn’t have to solve all of everyone’s problems to make an impact. “Sometimes, a small luxury such as a haircut can go a long way in boosting someone’s dignity,” he told the local newspaper. Two years ago, he founded the campaign DoSomething for Nothing. His mission is to make a positive impact by giving haircuts to homeless people he meets on city streets, connecting with them on a human level and sharing their stories on social media. So far he has cut the hair of hundreds of homeless people, including a few women. For Coombes, the campaign is about the importance of human connections. He wants to bring people together, regardless of what their relations are. In an age when virtual interactions can replace a real sense of community, Coombes finds haircuts to be a simple but important way to connect with people. Coombes’s world travels are partially funded by companies. As he devotes more time to it, he has steadily decreased the hours he spends in the salon at home. His most recent trip to the US was sponsored by Leesa Sleeps, a Virginia-based mattress company. 4. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. The homeless people. B. The tour guides. C. The travelers. D. The hairdressers. 5. What is one of the purposes of Coombes’s founding the campaign? A. To make the homeless people more beautiful. B.

He goes away from home in order to travel around the country. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. A hairdresser travels with homeless people. B. Homeless people are connecting together. C. Companies work together to help homeless people. D. A hairdresser helps homeless people through haircuts C Claude Monet Pablo Picasso and Leonardo da Vinci. . . The art world has never lacked talent. And now, a new painter is ready to join the list, although this one isn’t even human. Next month, auction house (拍卖行) Christie’s Prints and Multiples will make history by offering the first painting created by artificial intelligence for sale. The painting is a portrait of a man called Edmond de Belamy, and is expected to be sold for up to $10,000. The work, which features a man with a mysterious look on his face. was created by software developed by the French art group Obvious. Laugero-Lasserre, an art collector from France, called the work “fantastic and amazing at the same time”. This isn’t the first example of AI-produced artwork, as AI has already been used to write poems and compose songs. However, many people doubt whether it should be called art at all. According to Russian writer Leo Tolstoy (1828~1910), art is about creating emotion. “It’s a means of joining people together in the same feelings, “he once said. So, if the emotion behind art is what makes it, the ability to create and use tools is what makes human beings different from other species. And as a tool itself, the AI technology used to create the portrait is the result of a lot of effort made by several designers. Together, they “fed” the AI with a huge collection of paintings from the 14th to the 18th centuries. until it was able to work out how to make similar paintings of its own. The introduction of AI art could be the beginning of a new artistic movement. However not everyone is ready to welcome these high-tech artists just yet. 8.

They put a lot of paintings in the AI. C. They let AI watch famous paintings. D. They let AI practice repeatedly. 11. What will the author most probably talk about in the paragraph that follows? A. Some different opinions about AI artworks. B. Some statements supporting AI artworks. C. Some famous artworks that AI has created. D. Some new artistic movements. D Blue light glasses gained popularity over the past few years with the idea that they protect our eyes against screen usage — but a new analysis shows a different result. “We found there may be no short-term advantages with using blue-light filtering spectacle lenses to reduce visual fatigue associated with computer use, compared to non-blue-light filtering lenses,” said Laura Downie. “It is also currently unclear whether these lenses affect vision quality or sleep-related outcomes, and no conclusions could be drawn about any potential effects on retinal (视网膜的) health in the longer term. People should be aware of these findings when deciding whether to purchase these spectacles.” The studies they reviewed ranged in size and length with a span of as few as five to as many as 156 participants assessed over different periods, from less than one day to five weeks. The authors said more research with longer follow-ups in more diverse populations are needed to better assess any potential effects. Blue light, like that emanating from (从……发出) computer screens and smartphones, does stimulate the eyes, something that can cause sleeping problems. Vision issues including eye strain can lead to headaches, frontal headaches, pain around the eyes and pain behind the eyes, as well as dry eyes and related problems. Earlier this year, Dr Robert Johnson said, “I would have patients coming in saying they just ordered blue-blocking glasses from the Internet for their daughter and what was my opinion. This blue-blocking situation has been bogus basically from the get-go... It’s one of the absurdities that come from advertising.” Instead of shelling out money for special shades, however, experts advise taking screen breaks. They recommend small breaks away from screens every 20 minutes. During that break, look into the distance at an object at least 20 feet away or farther, for 20 seconds or more. Also shut your eyes for 20 seconds during the break. Johnson also goes by the “20-20-20 rule”. “For every 20 minutes, look away in excess of 20 feet for 20 seconds,” he said. “That will relax your focusing mechanism that will give your eyes a break and that will make you more comfortable.” 12. What can we infer from Laura Downie’s words about the blue light glasses? A. It reduces visual fatigue greatly. B. It helps us get a good sleep at night. C. It has no effect on our eye health. D. It relaxes our eyes for the time being. 13. What’s Dr Robert Johnson’s attitude toward using blue-light filtering spectacle leans? A. Tolerant. B. Supportive. C. Disapproving. D. Neutral. 14. What is the core of the “20-20-20 rule”? A. Resting your eyes every 20 seconds. B. Keeping your eyes closed for a minute. C. Watching scenes at most 60 seconds. D. Making your eyes rest for a while. 15. What might be the best title for the text? A. Blue light comes from a variety of sources. B. Blue-light filtering spectacle lenses may not be useful. C. Blue-light filtering spectacle lenses are popular. D. Blue light is really good for your eyesight. 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 world of writing is changing.

In our childhood, how often did we turn a deaf ear to our parents’ advice? Very often! Thus, we landed ourselves in a situation where we greatly regretted our act of not having listened to the advice of the wise. Such an unforgettable experience I had at the age of 7 gave me an invaluable lesson, after which I deeply understood why my gentle mother was repeating the boring suggestions and I would try to take her suggestions seriously. In my childhood, I was so crazy about nature that even playing among the colorful flowers in our garden could make my day. Our house was next to the woods which had always stirred up(激起) great curiosity in me in wanting to find out what was within. Every time I saw fascinating butterflies dancing from the woods, my curiosity grew. But my mother didn’t like me wandering off on my own and always ensured that I was within her sight. Even if she allowed me to explore the surrounding area on my own, it was only to be somewhere near the house. Being as curious as the cat, I always desired to explore the woods. It seemed as if my mother had understood my desire, so she had warmed me on lots of occasions never to enter the woods alone. “Mom, can I go out and play in the garden?” I asked. “Sure,” she would reply each time. “Kate, you can play in the garden but you must promise me one thing—only when I’m with you can you go into the woods. There are no cases of animal attacks on humans, but it’s still dangerous for a little kid like you. It’s too easy to get lost in the woods.” “Sure, you’ve said that many times!” I answered without patience at her repeated reminders. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 However, curiosity got the better of me one morning. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Kate?” Behind the trees covered by the rays of the setting sun came my mother’s voice. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2024-2025学年莆田四中高二上学期期中考试 英语卷 第二部分阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Love it or hate it, we live in the digital age and there’s no going back.

And now, a new painter is ready to join the list, although this one isn’t even human.(克劳德·莫奈、巴勃罗·毕加索和列奥纳多·达·芬奇……。艺术界从不缺乏天才。而现在，一位新画家准备加入这个名单，尽管这位画家甚至不是人类。)”可知，作者先提及艺术界的知名人类画家，再引出“非人类”新画家，目的是引入人工智能画家这一新话题，激发读者兴趣。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Next month, auction house Christie’s Prints and Multiples will make history by offering the first painting created by artificial intelligence for sale.(下个月，佳士得版画与多作品拍卖行将创造历史，首次拍卖由人工智能创作的画作。)”可知，在此之前，人工智能从未创作过画作并用于拍卖，即这是人工智能首次创作画作并进入拍卖领域。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Together, they “fed” the AI with a huge collection of paintings from the 14th to the 18th centuries, until it was able to work out how to make similar paintings of its own.(他们一起给人工智能“输入”了大量14至18世纪的画作，直到人工智能能够弄明白如何自行创作类似的画作。)”可知，设计师们通过向人工智能输入大量画作，使其具备创作肖像画的能力。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However, not everyone is ready to welcome these high-tech artists just yet.(然而，并非所有人都准备好迎接这些高科技艺术家。)”可知，前文提及人工智能艺术可能开启新艺术运动，此处转折指出存在反对或质疑的声音，因此下文最可能围绕“人们对人工智能艺术品的不同看法”展开，进一步阐述反对者的观点或理由。故选A项。 D Blue light glasses gained popularity over the past few years with the idea that they protect our eyes against screen usage — but a new analysis shows a different result. “We found there may be no short-term advantages with using blue-light filtering spectacle lenses to reduce visual fatigue associated with computer use, compared to non-blue-light filtering lenses,” said Laura Downie. “It is also currently unclear whether these lenses affect vision quality or sleep-related outcomes, and no conclusions could be drawn about any potential effects on retinal (视网膜的) health in the longer term. People should be aware of these findings when deciding whether to purchase these spectacles.” The studies they reviewed ranged in size and length, with a span of as few as five to as many as 156 participants assessed over different periods, from less than one day to five weeks. The authors said more research with longer follow-ups in more diverse populations are needed to better assess any potential effects. Blue light, like that emanating from (从……发出) computer screens and smartphones, does stimulate the eyes, something that can cause sleeping problems. Vision issues including eye strain can lead to headaches, frontal headaches, pain around the eyes and pain behind the eyes, as well as dry eyes and related problems. Earlier this year, Dr Robert Johnson said, “I would have patients coming in saying they just ordered blue-blocking glasses from the Internet for their daughter and what was my opinion. This blue-blocking situation has been bogus basically from the get-go... It’s one of the absurdities that come from advertising.” Instead of shelling out money for special shades, however, experts advise taking screen breaks. They recommend small breaks away from screens every 20 minutes. During that break, look into the distance at an object at least 20 feet away or farther, for 20 seconds or more. Also shut your eyes for 20 seconds during the break. Johnson also goes by the “20-20-20 rule”. “For every 20 minutes, look away in excess of 20 feet for 20 seconds,” he said. “That will relax your focusing mechanism that will give your eyes a break and that will make you more comfortable.” 12. What can we infer from Laura Downie’s words about the blue light glasses? A. It reduces visual fatigue greatly. B. It helps us get a good sleep at night. C. It has no effect on our eye health. D. It relaxes our eyes for the time being. 13. What’s Dr Robert Johnson’s attitude toward using blue-light filtering spectacle leans? A. Tolerant. B. Supportive. C. Disapproving. D. Neutral. 14. What is the core of the “20-20-20 rule”? A. Resting your eyes every 20 seconds. B. Keeping your eyes closed for a minute. C. Watching scenes at most 60 seconds. D. Making your eyes rest for a while. 15. What might be the best title for the text? A. Blue light comes from a variety of sources. B. Blue-light filtering spectacle lenses may not be useful. C. Blue-light filtering spectacle lenses are popular. D. Blue light is really good for your eyesight. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了蓝光眼镜对眼健康的潜在影响及专家观点，建议采取有效的眼部休息措施。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段““We found there may be no short-term advantages with using blue-light filtering spectacle lenses to reduce visual fatigue associated with computer use, compared to non-blue-light filtering lenses,” said Laura Downie. (Laura Downie说：“我们发现，与非蓝光过滤镜片相比，使用蓝光过滤镜片在减少因使用电脑而引起的视觉疲劳方面可能没有短期优势。”)”可知，Laura Downie认为蓝光过滤眼镜在短期内对减少电脑使用引起的视觉疲劳没有明显的好处，即它对我们的眼睛健康没有影响。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第五段“This blue-blocking situation has been bogus basically from the get-go... It’s one of the absurdities that come from advertising. (这个防蓝光的情况基本上从一开始就是假的……这是广告中的一个荒谬之处。)”可知，Dr Robert Johnson对蓝光过滤镜片的态度是不赞同的，认为这种做法从一开始就存在误导。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第六段中“Johnson also goes by the “20-20-20 rule”. “For every 20 minutes, look away in excess of 20 feet for 20 seconds,” he said. “That will relax your focusing mechanism that will give your eyes a break and that will make you more comfortable.” (Johnson也遵循“20-20-20规则”。他说：“每20分钟，看超过20英尺的地方20秒，”“这将放松你的聚焦机制，给眼睛一个休息的机会，这会让你感觉更舒适。”)”可知，该规则的核心是为了让眼睛休息一会儿。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“Blue light glasses gained popularity over the past few years with the idea that they protect our eyes against screen usage — but a new analysis shows a different result. (在过去的几年里，蓝光眼镜越来越受欢迎，人们认为蓝光眼镜可以保护我们的眼睛不受屏幕的影响，但一项新的分析显示了不同的结果。)”可知，文主要讨论了蓝光过滤眼镜可能并不像之前认为的那样对保护视力有显著好处，尤其是基于最新的分析结果。选项B“Blue-light filtering spectacle lenses may not be useful (蓝光过滤眼镜镜片可能没有用)”最适合作为本文的标题。故选B。 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 world of writing is changing. Things have moved very quickly from keyboards and predictive text. The rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI) means robots can now write human-quality text without having hands at all. Recent improvements in speech-to-text software mean even human “writers” do not need to touch a keyboard, let alone a pen. And with help from AI, text can even be generated by decoders that read brain activity through non-invasive scanning. ____16____, without having to lift a finger. The word “writer” may come to mean something very different, as people compose text in multiple ways in an increasingly digital world. However, learning to handwrite is still a key component of the literacy curriculum in primary schools. ____17____. But there are a number of important reasons why handwriting will still be taught in schools. ● It helps you remember Handwriting has important cognitive benefits, including for memory. Research suggests traditional pen-and-paper notes are remembered better, due to the greater complexity of the handwriting process. ____18____ In many cases, students become better readers through practicing writing. ____19____ Handwriting does not need electricity, devices, batteries, software, subscriptions, a fast Internet connection, a keyboard, charging time or the many other things on which digital writing depends. It only needs a pen and paper and can be done anywhere. Sometimes handwriting is the easiest and best option. ●It is about thinking Most importantly, learning to write and learning to think are closely connected. ____20____. They are developed and organized as they are composed. Thinking is too important to be outsourced to robots! Teaching writing is about giving students a toolkit of multiple writing strategies. Handwriting will remain an important component of this toolkit for the foreseeable future. A. It is very accessible B. Ideas are formed as students write C. It has become part of your daily routine D. Writers of the future will be talkers and thinkers E. And learning to read and handwrite are closely linked F. Good handwriting can help you make a good first impression G. Parents may be wondering whether learning to handwrite is worth the trouble 【答案】16. D 17. G 18. E 19. A 20.

In our childhood, how often did we turn a deaf ear to our parents’ advice? Very often! Thus, we landed ourselves in a situation where we greatly regretted our act of not having listened to the advice of the wise. Such an unforgettable experience I had at the age of 7 gave me an invaluable lesson, after which I deeply understood why my gentle mother was repeating the boring suggestions and I would try to take her suggestions seriously. In my childhood, I was so crazy about nature that even playing among the colorful flowers in our garden could make my day. Our house was next to the woods which had always stirred up(激起) great curiosity in me in wanting to find out what was within. Every time I saw fascinating butterflies dancing from the woods, my curiosity grew. But my mother didn’t like me wandering off on my own and always ensured that I was within her sight. Even if she allowed me to explore the surrounding area on my own it was only to be somewhere near the house. Being as curious as the cat, I always desired to explore the woods. It seemed as if my mother had understood my desire, so she had warmed me on lots of occasions never to enter the woods alone. “Mom, can I go out and play in the garden?” I asked. “Sure,” she would reply each time. “Kate, you can play in the garden but you must promise me one thing—only when I’m with you can you go into the woods. There are no cases of animal attacks on humans, but it’s still dangerous for a little kid like you. It’s too easy to get lost in the woods.” “Sure, you’ve said that many times!” I answered without patience at her repeated reminders. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 However, curiosity got the better of me one morning. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Kate?” Behind the trees covered by the rays of the setting sun came my mother’s voice. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 1 However, curiosity got the better of me one morning. Ignoring my mother’s reminder, I slid into the forbidden world. How fascinating! Among various colorful flowers danced butterflies. With excitement, I chased after the graceful creatures, running deeper into the woods. Suddenly they flew over trees and disappeared. What’s worse, I got lost! I rushed around, crying for help, frightened and helpless, but in vain. I repeated the useless efforts until sunset. “If only I followed Mom’s reminder!” I curled up under a tree, in bitter regret and cried again. “Kate?” Behind the trees covered by the rays of the setting sun came my mother’s voice. “Mom! I’m here!” Wild with joy, I rushed towards where the voice came from. Behind a tree appeared my mother. She dashed up, hugged me tight and checked whether I got hurt. “I’m so sorry! I should have appreciated your suggestion!” I burst into tears. Wiping tears from my muddy face, she repeated the reminders, which weren’t boring any more, but wise and affectionate, and were implanted in my life forever. 参考范文 2 However, curiosity got the better of me one morning. I summoned up my courage and decided to take a chance. Hardly had I entered the woods when I was totally attracted by the sight. The wandering clouds, the blooming flowers and the vigorous trees all kept me spellbound. At the sight of a beautiful butterfly, I tiptoed along the path, bent over, cupped my hands gently and danced with it down the track. Time flew and before I knew it, I was deep in the woods, unable to find the way out. With a feeling of horror totally holding me in its power, I squatted down under a tree, tears rolling down my cheeks. “Kate?” Behind the trees covered by the rays of the setting sun came my mother’s voice.
