But it seems more difficult for the disabled or elderly, and those living in a low-income area or those without a smartphone or credit card. A 2023 U.S. study showed that white Americans have access to almost three times as many carshare locations and two times as many bikeshare locations within a half-mile area as African Americans. When getting rides from their home, African Americans also wait up to 22 percent longer for the ride to arrive. But even when efforts are made to expand services to underserved areas of a city, other hurdles persist. A fifth of low-income Americans still don’t have a smartphone and almost a quarter don’t have a bank account. A 2022 survey in Philadelphia, Chicago and Brooklyn showed that low-income people of color are just as interested in bikesharing as other groups, but less likely to use such a system. Thankfully, to tackle these ongoing issues, various initiatives and projects are finding creative solutions to reach underserved communities. Here are some examples. ·U.S. Low-Income Subsidy Programs: Launched by a handful of U.S. cities to boost shared mobility use and cut personal vehicle reliance among low-income groups. ·U.S. Bike & E-Scooter Share Adjustments: 70% of nearly 250 programs (2024 survey) adopted measures for underserved groups, including cash payment and non-smartphone options. ·Austria’s Graz Tim Carsharing: City-run service with app, email, and phone booking; added wheelchair-friendly vehicles and free on request child seats for women and families. ·Women-Centric Tweaks: Proposed by Mosshammer, including e-scooter handle designs for smaller hands, family accounts, cheaper fares for travel breaks, free helmets, and SOS buttons on bikes or e-scooters to address safety concerns. 1. What does the 2023 U.S. study indicate? A. Low-income areas possess more carshare locations. B. Inequalities exist in accessing shared mobility services. C. White American riders experience longer waiting times. D. Shared mobility services are now equal for all Americans. 2. What can we know about low-income Americans in the passage? A. They show no interest in bikesharing. B. They all use cash for shared services. C. They face barriers in using shared mobility. D. They mostly lack smartphones and bank accounts. 3. Which program is beneficial for people with children? A. Austria’s Graz Tim Carsharing. B. U.S. Low-Income Subsidy Programs. C. Mosshammer’s Women-Centric Tweaks. D. U. S. Bike & E-Scooter Share Adjustments. B Snakes are fascinating yet deadly creatures, with snakebites causing 80,000-100,000 deaths and 300,000 disabilities worldwide annually. About one-third of adults suffer from ophidiophobia — a fear of snakes. However, this widespread fear isn’t an issue for Tim Friede, who has spent two decades voluntarily letting hundreds of deadly poisonous snakes bite him. And like secret spies who build immunity to poisons through long-term exposure, Friede is now effectively immune to a variety of snakes. Recently, a new study published in Cell details an antivenom (抗蛇毒血清) developed from Friede’s unique antibodies. What was exciting about the donor was his once-in-a-lifetime unique immune history, Jacob Glanville, the lead author and the CEO of the biotech company Centivax, said in a news release. “Not only did he potentially create these broad antibodies, but this could give rise to a universal antivenom.” Friede’s process was systematic but risky: First, he extracts snake venom and injects it into his body, gradually increasing the dosage to allow his body to develop antitoxin antibodies. Once sufficiently immune, he lets snakes bite him directly to test his immunity. This didn’t always go according to plan, like the time when twin bites from an Egyptian cobra and a monocled cobra sent him to the hospital and left him unconscious for four days. “It’s always painful,” Friede told Science News. Was it a mistake? Yes. Stupid? Yes. But his “mistakes” may help millions. Scientists developed an antivenom cocktail that can decrease the deadly effects of some of the world’s most dangerous snakes from his antibodies mixed with a toxin-blocking drug. Tests on mice showed it fully protected against 13 snake species and partially against 6 more, offering hope for snakebite victims. The team plans to first test the treatment on dogs in Australia and expand to viper bites. “We’re now advancing reagents (试剂) through an repeated process to determine the minimum effective cocktail for broad protection against viper venom.” Peter Kwong, a lead author from Columbia University, said in a press statement. Snakes still broadly inspire fear in most of us, but with the help of brave ophiophilists like Friede, maybe the world can one day begin to also love the amazing creatures attached to those deadly bites. 4. How did Friede get unique antibodies? A. By receiving regular antivenom injections. B. By being bitten by deadly snakes intentionally. C. By taking poison- blocking medicine regularly. D. By extracting antibodies from other ophiophilists. 5. Which statement about the antivenom cocktail is supported by the passage? A. It offers full protection against 19 snake species. B. It depends only on natural antibodies to resist venom. C. It has been tested successfully on humans in Australia. D. It makes use of antibodies from a snake-immune volunteer. 6. What does the last paragraph suggest about human-snake relations? A. Attitude towards snakes may soften. B. Fear of snakes will never fade. C. Ophiophilists help fight snakebites. D. Coexistence with snakes is impossible. 7. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To compare various types of venomous snakes. B. To criticize Friede’s risky self- experimentation practices. C. To warn readers of the life-threatening risks of snakebites. D. To present a promising breakthrough in antivenom research. C You may have seen this: As an event begins, somebody takes the microphone and lists off the Native American tribes who once inhabited the place where the event is held. Such “land acknowledgments” have become common practice over the past decade, at university ceremonies, rock concerts, and even the Academy Awards. The idea is that recognizing these former inhabitants by name reminds us that they were here and helps to improve historical injustice. But are they a useful practice for society, or just empty signals? You can’t right a wrong until you admit it. Behind each land acknowledgement is a recognition that cities and towns across the United States occupy land that was once inhabited by other peoples. The troubled history of how this came to be so, and the often terrible implications for those who were here before, is implicit. Land acknowledgements encourage us to look back with empathy and reflection, sharing a societal narrative that is honest and bends toward justice. This simple practice, which costs nothing and requires no special training, can challenge us to think more critically about our own histories. It’s only fair that we practice seeing those events through the perspectives of all participants and understanding their experiences as well. And naming them makes that history more visible. However, land acknowledgements are as vain as they often feel. The lives we live today are built on the results of decisions made, actions taken, successes achieved and losses suffered by those who came before us. Even for those who don’t like the outcome, there is little we can do to change it. Furthermore, the practice offers no solutions. “A land acknowledgement is what you give when you have no intention of giving land,” Graeme Wood writes in The Atlantic. “It’s like a receipt provided by a highway robber, noting all the jewels and gold coins he has stolen.” In reality, land acknowledgements are a performative act more for the benefit of the speaker than for the peoples being spoken for. Specifically, land acknowledgements “become an excuse for folks to feel good and move on with their lives,” notes the Native Governance Center, without actually contributing anything to the community. 8. Why does the author describe the scene at the beginning of Paragraph 1? A. To illustrate the wide application of a practice. B. To show the high popularity of a social activity. C. To introduce the discussion about a social phenomenon. D. To stress the necessity of correcting historical mistakes. 9. What does the underlined word “implicit” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Stated. B. Forgetten. C. Unspoken. D. Complicated. 10. What is Graeme Wood’s attitude towards land acknowledges? A. Ironic (讽刺的) and critical. B. Supportive and approving. C. Cautious and objective. D. Doubtful and dismissive. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. A New Perspective on Native American Tribes B. Land Acknowledgments: Meaningful or Meaningless? C. The Historical Injustice behind Land Acknowledgments D. The Rise of Land Acknowledgments: From Oscars to Campuses D The tiny worm Caenorhabditis elegans has a brain just about the width of a human hair, yet it can coordinate and calculate complex movements as it hunts for food. Daniela Rus, a computer scientist at MIT, was so deeply impressed by the elegance and efficiency of this worm’s brain that she co-founded a company, Liquid AI, to build a new type of artificial intelligence. Many researchers including Rus think making traditional AI more brainlike could create flexible and perhaps smarter technology. “To improve AI truly, we need to absorb insights from neuroscience (神经科学),” says Kanaka Rajan, a computational neuroscientist at Harvard University. Mike Davies, who directs the Neuromorphic Computing Lab, notes such technology won’t fully replace ordinary computers or traditional AI models — instead, many systems will coexist in the future. Imitating brains is not a new idea. In the 1950s, Frank Rosenblatt created the perceptron, a highly simplified model of brain nerve cell communication with a single layer of connected artificial neurons. This basic design later helped inspire deep learning. Yet consuming vast amounts of data and energy, most today’s AI models are unable to adapt easily to new situations or learn from single experiences like a brain, and are criticized as “brute force and inefficient.” Currently, AI development has two paths — “scale-up” vs. “efficiency-focused” — with an uncertain future while brain-inspired neuromorphic computing progress hasn’t joined mainstream AI. Inspired by the worm, Rus worked with Ramin Hasani’s team to create liquid neural networks. Unlike traditional deep learning with fixed post-training settings, these networks are more flexible and can learn like living things. By copying worm neurons with mathematical formulas and solving computing problems, they can work in real time. Tests showed with just 34 artificial neurons a small liquid network worked better than a traditional AI with 250,000 settings in drone tasks. Liquid AI has worked with DARPA to test aircraft models and launched the 7-billion-setting LFM-7B, which performs better than similar traditional language models. Though needing much computing power and not necessarily more energy-saving, liquid neural networks are an important step toward realistic, brain-like AI. As Rus says, “I’m excited about Liquid AI because I believe it could change the future of AI and computing.” 12. What mainly inspired Daniela Rus to establish Liquid AI? A. The limitations of traditional AI models. B. The efficiency of the tiny worm’s brain. C. The worm’s cooperative food-hunting skills. D. The pursuit of more flexible and smarter technology. 13. What does Mike Davies suggest about future AI development? A. Brain-like technology has little practical value. B. Neuromorphic computing will dominate the AI field. C. Different AI systems may work together in the future. D. Traditional AI models will be completely abandoned. 14. What makes liquid neural networks special? A. They have fixed settings after training. B. They depend on few mathematical formulas. C. They work worse than traditional AI in tasks. D. They can learn flexibly like living creatures. 15. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. Liquid AI has both limits and value. B. Brain-like AI has been fully achieved. C. Traditional AI is more reliable than liquid AI. D. Liquid AI will definitely control the AI market. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 According to a landmark study published today in the journal Science, total butterfly abundance in the U. S. has declined by 22 percent across all species between 2000 and 2020. ___16___ People should be seeing this number and being very concerned, not just about butterflies, but about the state of insects in general. Across 35 monitoring programs, scientists and volunteers have identified 12.6 million butterflies from 554 species at 2,478 unique locations. Initially, researchers expected to see declines for many species, but that once all the data was scaled up to cover the entire nation, they also expected to see enough increases to wash out the bad news. ___17___ “It’s kind of an overwhelming amount of loss and decline,” one of the researchers said. This is a wake-up call. ___18___ It is found that more than 100 species saw drops greater than 50 percent over the twenty-year timespan and that 22 species have declined more than 90 percent. ___19___ Butterflies are not the only insects in danger, and their declines connect to bigger concerns. It could be broadly indicative of the overall biodiversity crisis. It is estimated that three billion birds have been lost in North America since 1970. While scientists say the butterfly losses can be attributed to many factors, including habitat loss, climate change, and pesticide use, there are some things individuals can do to help butterflies. ___20___ Because insects have short generation spans, even modest changes to the environment — such as planting native flowers or creating habitat-can have a huge impact on the increase in population. That’s one of the most optimistic things. Butterflies do have the ability to bounce back, if people put the effort into conservation actions. A. Unfortunately, that was not the case. B. Even common species are in trouble. C. Such findings are just the tip of the iceberg. D. The situation reflects a wider ecological disaster. E. The reality may be worse than the numbers suggest. F. That means about one in five butterflies have vanished. G. Creating insect-friendly environments can yield rapid benefits. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When Dr. Nick Mondek learned his cancer had returned this spring, he didn’t know that his10-year-old son Stephen would eventually become his lifesaving hero.

We had never been cat owners before, and I feared it would be a challenge for our aging Lacy, but she became their best friend right from the start. She let them drink from her water bowl, sleep on her dog bed, and I even watched her licking cat food from their fur a time or two. The three companions formed quite a bond. As Lacy continued to age, her cat friends stayed close. When we drove up our long driveway coming home from work, Lacy would limp to greet us, trailing by the cats, even when her joint pain made it hard for her to get off the porch. As her condition worsened, we spent much time at the vet’s office seeking the right medication to ease her pain. On one visit, I questioned the doctor: “There are times now when our dog seems confused. I know she has suffered some hearing loss, but there seems to be more to her behavior than just that. Am I imagining things?” “No, you’re not.” Her reply was unexpected. “Dogs can suffer from a kind of mental confusion in their old age,” she continued. “It’s hard to know if that’s happening, but I suggest keeping her in mostly. She could wander off and forget how to come home, especially with all that land around your house.” I asked my three teenagers to keep an eye on Lacy. With a house full of teenagers, things tended to get chaotic, but I encouraged them: “We can’t let Lacy go outside unless somebody goes with her.” They agreed and kept watch until one bustling Thursday night. The house was full of their friends, who stayed until Youth Group started at church later. Kids came and went from every door. As the last kid left, I realized Lacy was nowhere in the house. It was dark, so my husband and I grabbed flashlights and searched the hillside, calling for her for hours — though I doubted she could hear us. We didn’t see the cats either, but figured they were on their nightly wander around the property. At midnight we gave up, deciding we’d have better chances in daylight. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next morning the entire family joined in the search. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I went out to start the car, I couldn’t believe my eyes. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 临沂市高三教学质量检测考试 英语 2025.11 本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将试卷和答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30 分） 第一节（共5 小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

But it seems more difficult for the disabled or elderly, and those living in a low-income area or those without a smartphone or credit card. A 2023 U.S. study showed that white Americans have access to almost three times as many carshare locations and two times as many bikeshare locations within a half-mile area as African Americans. When getting rides from their home, African Americans also wait up to 22 percent longer for the ride to arrive. But even when efforts are made to expand services to underserved areas of a city, other hurdles persist. A fifth of low-income Americans still don’t have a smartphone and almost a quarter don’t have a bank account. A 2022 survey in Philadelphia, Chicago and Brooklyn showed that low-income people of color are just as interested in bikesharing as other groups, but less likely to use such a system. Thankfully, to tackle these ongoing issues, various initiatives and projects are finding creative solutions to reach underserved communities. Here are some examples. ·U.S. Low-Income Subsidy Programs: Launched by a handful of U.S. cities to boost shared mobility use and cut personal vehicle reliance among low-income groups. ·U.S. Bike & E-Scooter Share Adjustments: 70% of nearly 250 programs (2024 survey) adopted measures for underserved groups, including cash payment and non-smartphone options. ·Austria’s Graz Tim Carsharing: City-run service with app, email, and phone booking; added wheelchair-friendly vehicles and free on request child seats for women and families. ·Women-Centric Tweaks: Proposed by Mosshammer, including e-scooter handle designs for smaller hands, family accounts, cheaper fares for travel breaks, free helmets, and SOS buttons on bikes or e-scooters to address safety concerns. 1. What does the 2023 U.S. study indicate? A. Low-income areas possess more carshare locations. B. Inequalities exist in accessing shared mobility services. C. White American riders experience longer waiting times. D. Shared mobility services are now equal for all Americans. 2. What can we know about low-income Americans in the passage? A. They show no interest in bikesharing. B. They all use cash for shared services. C. They face barriers in using shared mobility. D. They mostly lack smartphones and bank accounts. 3. Which program is beneficial for people with children? A. Austria’s Graz Tim Carsharing. B. U.S. Low-Income Subsidy Programs. C. Mosshammer’s Women-Centric Tweaks. D. U. S. Bike & E-Scooter Share Adjustments. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3.

When getting rides from their home, African Americans also wait up to 22 percent longer for the ride to arrive.(美国2023年的一项研究显示，在半英里范围内，白人可以使用的共享汽车地点几乎是非洲裔美国人的三倍，自行车地点是非洲裔美国人的两倍。当从家里坐车时，非裔美国人的等待时间最长可达22%)”可知，这项研究表明在获取共享出行服务方面存在不平等现象，故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“A 2022 survey in Philadelphia, Chicago and Brooklyn showed that low-income people of color are just as interested in bikesharing as other groups, but less likely to use such a system.(2022年在费城、芝加哥和布鲁克林进行的一项调查显示，低收入有色人种和其他群体一样对共享单车感兴趣，但使用这种系统的可能性更小)”可知，美国低收入人群在使用共享交通工具方面面临障碍，故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Austria’s Graz Tim Carsharing: City-run service with app, email, and phone booking; added wheelchair-friendly vehicles and free on Request child seats for women and families.(奥地利的格拉茨Tim Carsharing：城市运营的应用程序、电子邮件和电话预订服务；增加了轮椅友好型车辆，并为妇女和家庭按需免费提供儿童座椅)”可知，该项目提供了“按需免费儿童座椅”，这对有孩子的家庭直接有益。故选A。 B Snakes are fascinating yet deadly creatures, with snakebites causing 80,000-100,000 deaths and 300,000 disabilities worldwide annually. About one-third of adults suffer from ophidiophobia — a fear of snakes. However, this widespread fear isn’t an issue for Tim Friede, who has spent two decades voluntarily letting hundreds of deadly poisonous snakes bite him. And like secret spies who build immunity to poisons through long-term exposure, Friede is now effectively immune to a variety of snakes. Recently, a new study published in Cell details an antivenom (抗蛇毒血清) developed from Friede’s unique antibodies. What was exciting about the donor was his once-in-a-lifetime unique immune history, Jacob Glanville, the lead author and the CEO of the biotech company Centivax, said in a news release. “Not only did he potentially create these broad antibodies, but this could give rise to a universal antivenom.” Friede’s process was systematic but risky: First, he extracts snake venom and injects it into his body, gradually increasing the dosage to allow his body to develop antitoxin antibodies. Once sufficiently immune, he lets snakes bite him directly to test his immunity. This didn’t always go according to plan, like the time when twin bites from an Egyptian cobra and a monocled cobra sent him to the hospital and left him unconscious for four days. “It’s always painful,” Friede told Science News. Was it a mistake? Yes. Stupid? Yes. But his “mistakes” may help millions. Scientists developed an antivenom cocktail that can decrease the deadly effects of some of the world’s most dangerous snakes from his antibodies mixed with a toxin-blocking drug. Tests on mice showed it fully protected against 13 snake species and partially against 6 more, offering hope for snakebite victims. The team plans to first test the treatment on dogs in Australia and expand to viper bites. “We’re now advancing reagents (试剂) through an repeated process to determine the minimum effective cocktail for broad protection against viper venom.” Peter Kwong, a lead author from Columbia University, said in a press statement. Snakes still broadly inspire fear in most of us, but with the help of brave ophiophilists like Friede, maybe the world can one day begin to also love the amazing creatures attached to those deadly bites. 4. How did Friede get unique antibodies? A. By receiving regular antivenom injections. B. By being bitten by deadly snakes intentionally. C. By taking poison- blocking medicine regularly. D. By extracting antibodies from other ophiophilists. 5. Which statement about the antivenom cocktail is supported by the passage? A. It offers full protection against 19 snake species. B. It depends only on natural antibodies to resist venom. C. It has been tested successfully on humans in Australia. D. It makes use of antibodies from a snake-immune volunteer. 6. What does the last paragraph suggest about human-snake relations? A. Attitude towards snakes may soften. B. Fear of snakes will never fade. C. Ophiophilists help fight snakebites. D. Coexistence with snakes is impossible. 7. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To compare various types of venomous snakes. B. To criticize Friede’s risky self- experimentation practices. C. To warn readers of the life-threatening risks of snakebites. D. To present a promising breakthrough in antivenom research. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7.

Such “land acknowledgments” have become common practice over the past decade, at university ceremonies, rock concerts, and even the Academy Awards. The idea is that recognizing these former inhabitants by name reminds us that they were here and helps to improve historical injustice. But are they a useful practice for society, or just empty signals? You can’t right a wrong until you admit it. Behind each land acknowledgement is a recognition that cities and towns across the United States occupy land that was once inhabited by other peoples. The troubled history of how this came to be so, and the often terrible implications for those who were here before, is implicit. Land acknowledgements encourage us to look back with empathy and reflection, sharing a societal narrative that is honest and bends toward justice. This simple practice, which costs nothing and requires no special training, can challenge us to think more critically about our own histories. It’s only fair that we practice seeing those events through the perspectives of all participants and understanding their experiences as well. And naming them makes that history more visible. However, land acknowledgements are as vain as they often feel. The lives we live today are built on the results of decisions made, actions taken, successes achieved and losses suffered by those who came before us. Even for those who don’t like the outcome, there is little we can do to change it. Furthermore, the practice offers no solutions. “A land acknowledgement is what you give when you have no intention of giving land,” Graeme Wood writes in The Atlantic. “It’s like a receipt provided by a highway robber, noting all the jewels and gold coins he has stolen.” In reality, land acknowledgements are a performative act more for the benefit of the speaker than for the peoples being spoken for. Specifically, land acknowledgements “become an excuse for folks to feel good and move on with their lives,” notes the Native Governance Center, without actually contributing anything to the community. 8. Why does the author describe the scene at the beginning of Paragraph 1? A. To illustrate the wide application of a practice. B. To show the high popularity of a social activity. C. To introduce the discussion about a social phenomenon. D. To stress the necessity of correcting historical mistakes. 9. What does the underlined word “implicit” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Stated. B. Forgetten. C. Unspoken. D. Complicated. 10. What is Graeme Wood’s attitude towards land acknowledges? A. Ironic (讽刺的) and critical. B. Supportive and approving. C. Cautious and objective. D. Doubtful and dismissive. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. A New Perspective on Native American Tribes B. Land Acknowledgments: Meaningful or Meaningless? C. The Historical Injustice behind Land Acknowledgments D. The Rise of Land Acknowledgments: From Oscars to Campuses 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要讨论了“土地致谢”在各类活动中日益普遍，有人认为其能促使人们反思历史不公、彰显历史，也有人批评它空洞无实、无实际解决方案，仅为表演性行为。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Such “land acknowledgments” have become common practice over the past decade, at university ceremonies, rock concerts, and even the Academy Awards. The idea is that recognizing these former inhabitants by name reminds us that they were here and helps to improve historical injustice. But are they a useful practice for society, or just empty signals?( 在过去的十年中，这样的“土地致谢”已经成为一种普遍的做法，在大学典礼、摇滚音乐会，甚至是奥斯卡颁奖典礼上。我们的想法是，通过名字来认识这些前居民，提醒我们他们曾经在这里，并有助于改善历史上的不公正。但它们对社会是有益的实践，还是只是空洞的信号？)”可知，开篇描述“活动开场时提及原住民部落”的场景，随后点明这是“土地致谢”实践，紧接着提出核心疑问 “这一做法对社会有用，还是仅为空洞信号”。由此可推知，作者描述第一段开头的场景是为了引入关于一种社会现象的讨论。故选C项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“You can’t right a wrong until you admit it. Behind each land acknowledgement is a recognition that cities and towns across the United States occupy land that was once inhabited by other peoples.( 除非你承认错误，否则你无法纠正错误。在每一个“土地致谢”的背后，都是承认美国各地的城镇占据了曾经被其他民族居住的土地。)”以及划线单词句中“The troubled history of how this came to be so, and the often terrible implications for those who were here before, is….( 关于这种情况如何发生的混乱历史，以及对之前在这里的人的可怕影响，都是……。)”可知，虽然土地致谢背后表达了对“土地曾属于他人”的认可，但并未承认错误，这段历史的“问题本质及对原住民的可怕影响”并未直接说出，是“隐含的”。由此可知，划线单词implicit为“隐含的”的意思，和C选项Unspoken“不言而喻的”意思相近。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中““A land acknowledgement is what you give when you have no intention of giving land,” Graeme Wood writes in The Atlantic. “It’s like a receipt provided by a highway robber, noting all the jewels and gold coins he has stolen.”(格雷姆·伍德（Graeme Wood）在《大西洋月刊》（The Atlantic）上写道：“当你无意出让土地时，你就会给予承认。”“这就像公路抢劫犯提供的收据，上面写着他偷了多少珠宝和金币。”)”可推知，格雷姆·伍德将土地致谢比作“强盗提供的收据”，暗指其“只承认侵占，却不归还土地”，用讽刺的比喻表达强烈批判态度。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“The idea is that recognizing these former inhabitants by name reminds us that they were here and helps to improve historical injustice. But are they a useful practice for society, or just empty signals?( 我们的想法是，通过名字来认识这些前居民，提醒我们他们曾经在这里，并有助于改善历史上的不公正。但它们对社会是有益的实践，还是只是空洞的信号？)”可知，文章开篇引入“土地致谢”现象，随后分别阐述支持方（有意义，促进反思、承认历史）和反对方（无意义，空洞、无实际行动）的观点，核心围绕“该做法是否有价值”展开。由此可知，文章的最佳标题是“土地致谢：有意义还是没有意义？”。故选B项。 D The tiny worm Caenorhabditis elegans has a brain just about the width of a human hair, yet it can coordinate and calculate complex movements as it hunts for food. Daniela Rus, a computer scientist at MIT, was so deeply impressed by the elegance and efficiency of this worm’s brain that she co-founded a company, Liquid AI, to build a new type of artificial intelligence. Many researchers including Rus think making traditional AI more brainlike could create flexible and perhaps smarter technology. “To improve AI truly, we need to absorb insights from neuroscience (神经科学),” says Kanaka Rajan, a computational neuroscientist at Harvard University. Mike Davies, who directs the Neuromorphic Computing Lab, notes such technology won’t fully replace ordinary computers or traditional AI models — instead, many systems will coexist in the future. Imitating brains is not a new idea. In the 1950s, Frank Rosenblatt created the perceptron, a highly simplified model of brain nerve cell communication with a single layer of connected artificial neurons. This basic design later helped inspire deep learning. Yet consuming vast amounts of data and energy, most today’s AI models are unable to adapt easily to new situations or learn from single experiences like a brain, and are criticized as “brute force and inefficient.” Currently, AI development has two paths — “scale-up” vs. “efficiency-focused” — with an uncertain future while brain-inspired neuromorphic computing progress hasn’t joined mainstream AI. Inspired by the worm, Rus worked with Ramin Hasani’s team to create liquid neural networks. Unlike traditional deep learning with fixed post-training settings, these networks are more flexible and can learn like living things. By copying worm neurons with mathematical formulas and solving computing problems, they can work in real time. Tests showed with just 34 artificial neurons a small liquid network worked better than a traditional AI with 250,000 settings in drone tasks. Liquid AI has worked with DARPA to test aircraft models and launched the 7-billion-setting LFM-7B, which performs better than similar traditional language models. Though needing much computing power and not necessarily more energy-saving, liquid neural networks are an important step toward realistic, brain-like AI. As Rus says, “I’m excited about Liquid AI because I believe it could change the future of AI and computing.” 12. What mainly inspired Daniela Rus to establish Liquid AI? A. The limitations of traditional AI models. B. The efficiency of the tiny worm’s brain. C. The worm’s cooperative food-hunting skills. D. The pursuit of more flexible and smarter technology. 13. What does Mike Davies suggest about future AI development? A. Brain-like technology has little practical value. B. Neuromorphic computing will dominate the AI field. C. Different AI systems may work together in the future. D. Traditional AI models will be completely abandoned. 14. What makes liquid neural networks special? A. They have fixed settings after training. B. They depend on few mathematical formulas. C. They work worse than traditional AI in tasks. D. They can learn flexibly like living creatures. 15. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. Liquid AI has both limits and value. B. Brain-like AI has been fully achieved. C. Traditional AI is more reliable than liquid AI. D. Liquid AI will definitely control the AI market. 【答案】12. B 13.

S. has declined by 22 percent across all species between 2000 and 2020. ___16___ People should be seeing this number and being very concerned, not just about butterflies, but about the state of insects in general. Across 35 monitoring programs, scientists and volunteers have identified 12.6 million butterflies from 554 species at 2,478 unique locations. Initially, researchers expected to see declines for many species, but that once all the data was scaled up to cover the entire nation, they also expected to see enough increases to wash out the bad news. ___17___ “It’s kind of an overwhelming amount of loss and decline,” one of the researchers said. This is a wake-up call. ___18___ It is found that more than 100 species saw drops greater than 50 percent over the twenty-year timespan and that 22 species have declined more than 90 percent. ___19___ Butterflies are not the only insects in danger, and their declines connect to bigger concerns. It could be broadly indicative of the overall biodiversity crisis. It is estimated that three billion birds have been lost in North America since 1970. While scientists say the butterfly losses can be attributed to many factors, including habitat loss, climate change, and pesticide use, there are some things individuals can do to help butterflies. ___20___ Because insects have short generation spans, even modest changes to the environment — such as planting native flowers or creating habitat-can have a huge impact on the increase in population. That’s one of the most optimistic things. Butterflies do have the ability to bounce back, if people put the effort into conservation actions. A. Unfortunately, that was not the case. B. Even common species are in trouble. C. Such findings are just the tip of the iceberg. D. The situation reflects a wider ecological disaster. E. The reality may be worse than the numbers suggest. F. That means about one in five butterflies have vanished. G. Creating insect-friendly environments can yield rapid benefits. 【答案】16. F 17. A 18. C 19. D 20.

We had never been cat owners before, and I feared it would be a challenge for our aging Lacy, but she became their best friend right from the start. She let them drink from her water bowl, sleep on her dog bed, and I even watched her licking cat food from their fur a time or two. The three companions formed quite a bond. As Lacy continued to age, her cat friends stayed close. When we drove up our long driveway coming home from work, Lacy would limp to greet us, trailing by the cats, even when her joint pain made it hard for her to get off the porch. As her condition worsened, we spent much time at the vet’s office seeking the right medication to ease her pain. On one visit, I questioned the doctor: “There are times now when our dog seems confused. I know she has suffered some hearing loss, but there seems to be more to her behavior than just that. Am I imagining things?” “No, you’re not.” Her reply was unexpected. “Dogs can suffer from a kind of mental confusion in their old age,” she continued. “It’s hard to know if that’s happening, but I suggest keeping her in mostly. She could wander off and forget how to come home, especially with all that land around your house.” I asked my three teenagers to keep an eye on Lacy. With a house full of teenagers, things tended to get chaotic, but I encouraged them: “We can’t let Lacy go outside unless somebody goes with her.” They agreed and kept watch until one bustling Thursday night. The house was full of their friends, who stayed until Youth Group started at church later. Kids came and went from every door. As the last kid left, I realized Lacy was nowhere in the house. It was dark, so my husband and I grabbed flashlights and searched the hillside, calling for her for hours — though I doubted she could hear us. We didn’t see the cats either, but figured they were on their nightly wander around the property. At midnight we gave up, deciding we’d have better chances in daylight. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next morning the entire family joined in the search. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I went out to start the car, I couldn’t believe my eyes. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 The next morning the entire family joined in the search. My husband and the kids spread out, calling Lacy’s name anxiously across the hillside and woods surrounding our property. We checked every possible hiding spot she might have crawled into, under bushes and near the creek, our hearts sinking with each passing hour. By late morning, exhaustion and despair began to set in. We feared the worst — that Lacy, confused and frail, had wandered too far and couldn’t find her way back. As I went out to start the car, I couldn’t believe my eyes. There, nestled in the tall grass near the driveway, were Nosey and Quincy! And right between them, curled up and looking weary but safe, was Lacy! Relief washed over me like a wave. It appeared the cats hadn’t been on their nightly wander alone; they must have found their lost friend during the night and stayed faithfully by her side, guarding her until dawn. This incredible display of loyalty and care among our unlikely companions was truly heartwarming, proving their bond was far stronger than we had imagined. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和家人搬到偏远山区后收养了两只流浪猫诺西和昆西，它们与家里年迈的狗莱西很快成为亲密伙伴。随着莱西日渐衰老且出现老年认知混乱，他们格外留意它的安全。一个周四晚上，莱西趁家里喧闹走失，全家搜寻无果。次日清晨，他们竟发现它蜷缩在车道旁的草丛中，诺西和昆西忠诚地守在它身边，这场跨越物种的守护彰显了它们深厚的情谊。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上，全家人都加入了搜寻队伍。”可知，第一段可描写莱西趁家里喧闹走失，全家搜寻无果。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我出去发动汽车时，我简直不敢相信自己的眼睛。”可知，第二段可描写次日清晨，他们竟发现它蜷缩在车道旁的草丛中，诺西和昆西忠诚地守在它身边，这场跨越物种的守护彰显了它们深厚的情谊。 2.续写线索：搜寻宠物——搜寻失败——心情沉重——第二天发现莱西——诺西和昆西守卫莱西——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①证明：prove/certify ②席卷：wash over/flood over ③呼唤：call/summon 情绪类 ①困惑的：confused/puzzled ②难以置信的：incredible/unbelievable 【点睛】[高分句型1] My husband and the kids spread out, calling Lacy’s name anxiously across the hillside and woods surrounding our property.(运用了现在分词作状语) [高分句型2] We checked every possible hiding spot she might have crawled into, under bushes and near the creek, our hearts sinking with each passing hour.(运用了省略关系词的定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
