读后续写:
Alex stood in front of the class and judges, feeling nervous. He took a deep breath and began his presentation. “Today, I'd like to talk about my project on a solar-powered car. However, before coming here, an accident happened. My little brother broke a part of the solar panel. I was so shocked and disappointed at first. But then I realized that honesty is more important than winning. So, what you see now is a damaged model. But the knowledge and effort behind it are real.” He then went on to explain the theory and his process of building the car. The audience listened attentively, some nodding in understanding.
Later that day, Alex received an email from the science fair organization. His heart raced as he opened it. To his surprise, he had won an honorary mention. The email praised his honesty and his in-depth understanding of the project. It said that although his model was damaged, his integrity and the quality of his work impressed the judges. Alex felt a rush of joy and relief. He knew that his decision to be honest was the right one. This experience not only taught him the value of honesty but also made him more determined to pursue his love for science.

【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Every time AI drafts an e-mail or an image, the planet pays for it. Making two images can consume as much energy as charging a smartphone.

【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“It’s possible to squeeze more life out of servers, for instance, through regular maintenance and updates or by shifting worn-out devices to less-intensive applications.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要对睡前喝热牛奶是否对睡眠有用进行了解释。文章指出,热牛奶之所以对你睡眠有助一方面是因为它让你想起曾经给你热牛奶的人,这有一定缓解焦虑的作用;另一方面是因为热牛奶里的色氨酸也有促进睡眠的作用,但是实际情况来看,可能其效果有限。除此以外,牛奶的温度从某种程度上也能让你放松,从而睡个好觉。
【36题详解】
根据后文“The answer is varied.(这个答案是多种多样的。)”以及““One reason that warm milk makes people sleepy is that it reminds you of the person who was kind enough to give it to you when you were younger," said psychologist Michael.(心理学家迈克尔说:“热牛奶让人昏昏欲睡的一个原因是,它会让你想起那个在你年轻时好心给你热牛奶的人。”)”和“On the molecular level, the tryptophan(色氨酸)in milk has properties which can promote sleeping.(在分子水平上,色氨酸具有促进睡眠的特性。)”可知,后文是对选项所提出的一个问题进行回答,该问题跟后文所提到的内容相关,故选项应为一个疑问句。选项G中的“scientific evidence”对应后文中的“On the molecular level”,而选项中的make you sleepy在后文又被提到,两者互相照应。故选G项。
【37题详解】
根据前文“'One reason that warm milk makes people sleepy is that it reminds you of the person who was kind enough to give it to you when you were younger,' said psychologist Michael.(心理学家迈克尔说:“热牛奶让人昏昏欲睡的一个原因是,它会让你想起那个在你年轻时好心给你热牛奶的人。”)”可知,热牛奶让人想起曾经给自己温暖的人,使人内心感动,这种联系能减缓睡前焦虑。选项A中的“The calming association”对应前文的提到的“想起那个在你年轻时好心给你热牛奶的人”,这会产生令人镇静的作用,因此推断A项“这种镇静的联系可能有助于降低睡前焦虑。”符合语境。故选A项。
【38题详解】
根据后文“Our bodies use the tryptophan from food, along with other things, to produce the brain chemical serotonin, which is transformed into melatonin, a hormone that helps you sleep.(我们的身体利用食物中的色氨酸和其他物质来产生大脑化学物质血清素。血清素被转化为褪黑激素,这种激素有助于睡眠。) ”可知,色氨酸是从食物以及其他物质中获取的,我们身体本身不具有色氨酸。故E选项中的“get it from the diet”对应“use the tryptophan from food, along with other things”。因此推断E项“人体不能产生色氨酸,所以人们必须从饮食中获取色氨酸。”符合语境。故选E项。
【39题详解】
根据后文“That's because the body transforms it into hormones that enhance sleep. But in reality, it would take a lot of tryptophan to make a person feel sleepy.(这是因为身体将其转化为增强睡眠的激素。但事实上,需要大量的色氨酸才能让人感到困倦。)”可知,本段从理论和实际两个方面去论述到底色氨酸是否具有助眠的作用。选项B中的“In theory”与后文的“But in reality”相对应。因此推断B项“从理论上讲,食用富含色氨酸的食物会让我们感到困倦。”符合语境。故选B项。
【40题详解】
根据前文“As for the temperature of the milk, there aren't any studies that suggest milk has to be warm for any of its psychological or physical effects to kick in.( 至于牛奶的温度,没有任何研究表明牛奶必须是热的才能发挥其心理或生理作用。)”以及后文“It can in turn help to relax the body.(这反过来有助于放松身体。)”可知,本段讲述的是牛奶的温度可能也是一个影响助眠效果的因素。选项F中的“the warmth of the milk”对应前文的“the temperature of the milk”以及选项中的“raise our internal body temperatures”对应后文的“it”,故选项F“但牛奶的温度可能有助于提高我们体内的温度。”符合语境,具有承上启下的作用。故选F项。

We were seven hours past sun-up,but you never would have known that on
Thursday afternoon as the roosters--adult male chickens began to crow.The noise
started just after 2 p.m.and by the timne it stopped,the dozen or so roosters would
stretch open their mouths,extend their necks and cry out more than 100 times
collectively in this event,which is one of the oldest contests at the Kentucky State Fair.
Kentuckians,young and old,bring their roosters to the fair to see who can crow the
most in a 15-minute stretch.The winning rooster's owner takes home a bag of chicken
feed.
It was about half an hour until the crow-off began when I settled into a seat across
from a small stage full of cages.That's where I met John Ball,the fair's crowing
organizer,who talked excitedly about the whole affair to come."The only real rules are
you have to bring a rooster and that you can't egg it on during its 15 minutes in the
spotlight,.”he said.
I wondered how a rooster was trained to crow in the afternoon,and fortunately,
nine-year-old Ben Miller had some insight to share.When I introduced myself to him,
he was already covering his rooster's eyes gently with his hand.Now,it thinks it's
dark,"Ben told me.Part of the trick was to make his rooster believe the sun hadn't
risen yet.That way,it would be ready to cry out as soon as it saw the light.
As I looked around,I saw that a few other roosters had joined us.One by one they
were placed in the cages in front of the audience.The crowing continued for the full 15
minutes.After Ball's timer went off,Sam Lamb,15,and his rooster won the contest.
It'd crowed 37 times,just a little more than half of the 67 crows from a few years
before.
24.What can we say about the contest?
A.It centers around six roosters.
B.It lasts for a total of half an hour
C.It is organized on a weekend afternoon.
D.It is a tradition at the Kentucky State Fair.
25.What did John mean by saying"you can't egg it on'"in paragraph 2?
A.You can't leave it on an egg.
B.You can't motivate it to crow.
C.You can't stop it from crowing.
D.You can't interrupt it with an egg.
26.What was Ben's trick with his rooster?
A.He made it confused about the time.
B.He showed it some chicken feed.
C.He trained it to react to the timer.
D.He left it alone in a dark room.
27.What can be a suitable title for the text?

If Confucius (were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28
birthday with a big cake.there would be a lot of candles.He'd need a fanr or a strong
wind to help him put them out.
While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day,few
westemers will give him a passing thought.It's nothing personal.Most westerners
don't even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
But this doesn't mean that westerners don't care about Confucius.In many ways
he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper
understanding of China.
In the past two decades,the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity
in western universities.More recently;the Chinese government has set up Confucius
Institutes(孔子学院)in more than80 countries.These schools teach both Chinese
language and culture.The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art,
history and philosophy.Some social scientists suggest that westerners should take
advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks (of
westerners'philosophy.Students in the wester countries,at the same time,are racing
to learn Chinese.So they will be ready for the life in a world where China is an equal
power with the western countries.Businessmen who hope to make money in China are
reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers
So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and popular.
Today China attracts the West more than'ever,and it will need more teachers to
introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.
As for the old thinker,he will not soon be forgotten by the people in the West.
28.The first paragraph is written to
A.provide some key facts about Confucius
B.attract the readers'interest in the subject
C.show great respect for the ancient thinker
D.prove the popularity of birthday celebrations
29.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Westerners don't care about celebrating Confucius'birthday at all.
B.Confucius Institutes are set up in all countries.
C.Western students fight for a chance to learn Chinese.
D.Businessmen from the west are reading about Confucius to pass the exams.
30.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Chinese Culture for Westerners B.Old Thinker with A Big Future
高二年英语期中考试卷第5页共11页
C.Forgotten Wisdom in the WestD.Huge Fans of the Chinese Language
31.The passage is likely to be taken from

Every time AI drafts an e-mail or an image,the planet pays for it.Making two
images can consume as much energy as charging a smartphone.By 2027,the global AI
industry could annually consume as much electricity as the Netherlands.And a new
study identifies another concem:generative AI applications alone could add 1.2million
to five million tons of harmful trash to the planet by 2030.
Such a contribution would add to the tens of millions of tons of electronic products
the globe abandons annually.Cell phones,computers and other digital products often
contain mercury ()lead or other poisons.When improperly disposed of,they can
pollute air,water and soil.In 2022,about 78%of the world's e-waste end up in
landfills or at unofficial recycling sites,where laborers risk their health to clean up rare
metals.
The AI boom rapidly consumes data storage devices and high-performance
components,which are usually replaced when new versions are available.To calculate
the e-waste contribution,researchers examined hardware use,lifespan,and the
industry's growth rate.Their prediction is an estimate that could change based on
various factors.
This study's biggest value comes from its attention to AI's broad environmental
impacts,says Shaolei Ren,a researcher at the University of California,Riverside."We
might want AI companies to slow down a bit,"he says.
Few countries mandate (the proper disposal of e-waste,and those that do
often fail to carry out their existing laws on it.Twenty-five U.S.states have e-waste
management policies,but there is no federal law that requires electronics recycling.
Thankfully,some companies claim to be taking independent action.Microsoft and
Google have committed to reaching net zero waste and net zero emissions respectively
by 2030.They have many options to limit e-waste.It's possible to squeeze more life
out of servers,for instance,through regular maintenance and updates or by shifting
worn-out devices to less-intensive applications.These strategies are vital to reduce
e-waste and benefit society,the study authors estimate.
32.What can be inferred from Paragraph 1?
A.The Netherlands consumes too much electricity
B.The disadvantages of AI outweigh the advantages.
C.AI's energy-related issues largely result from image-making
D.The environmental footprint of AI is alarmingly extensive.
高二年英语期中考试卷第6页共11页
33.What is Shaolei Ren's attitude toward the growth of AI companies?
A.Indifferent.B.Cautious.
C.Positive.
D.Ambiguous
34.What is the key 'to reducing c-waste?
A.Adjusting AI application frequency.
B.Prioritizing smartphone recycling
C.Banning the overuse of AI completely.
D.Adopting device-lifespan-extending measures.
35.What is the best title for the text?
A.AI May Worsen the E-waste Crisis.
B.E-waste Calls for Proper Use of AI.
C.E-waste Problems Mostly Blame on AI.
D.AI and E-waste Always Go Hand in Hand.

When heading to bed,people often do some things to promote sleep,such as
drinking a cup of warm milk.36The answer is varied.
"One reason that warm milk makes people sleepy is that it reminds you of the
person who was kind enough to.give it to you when you were younger,"said
psychologist Michael,37
On the molecular level,the tryptophan (in milk has properties which can
promote sleeping.38 Our bodies use the tryptophan from food,along with
other things,to produce the brain chemical serotonin,which is transformed into
melatonin,a hormone that helps you sleep.
39That's because the body transforms it into hormones that enhance sleep
But in reality,it would take a lot of tryptophan to make a person feel sleepy.Even if a
person drinks that much milk,it's unclear whether the high amount of tryptophan
would be enough to make him or her.feel sleepy.Milk,after all,contains many other
materials that compete to enter our brain through the blood.Thus,the sleep-promoting
effect of milk is limited.
As for the temperature of the milk,there aren't any studies that suggest milk has to
be warm for any of its psychological or physical effects to kick in.40
It can in
turn help to relax the body.
A.The calming association may help to lower pre-sleep anxiety.
B.In theory,taking food rich in tryptophan can make us feel sleepy.
C.The body needs the tryptophan in the milk to calm ourselves down.
D.Can the temperature of the milk accelerate the speed of our sleeping?
E.The body cannot produce tryptophan,so people must get it from the diet.

F.But the warmth of the milk may help raise our internal body temperatures
G.But is there any scientific evidence that drinking warm milk will make you sleepy?
