When he began his current job as foreman on a site opposite a children’s hospital, this awesome dad and hobby artist had a brilliant idea. Haney noticed that many of the sick kids at the Memorial Children’s Hospital in South Bend could not go outside, and his construction site was the only view from their hospital rooms. So together with his teenage daughter, Haney built a 2.5 meter tall plywood (胶合板) cut out of Waldo from the famous Where’s Waldo? books. Every day, the workers hide Waldo in a different spot on the construction site, giving the children a new challenge. As soon as Haney finds out that the kids have found Waldo, the cutout gets moved to a new secret hiding spot and the game begins again. Heidi Prescott, a spokeswoman for Beacon Health System, which runs the hospital, said the project began one winter when the workers put up an inflatable (可充气的) snowman for the children. The kids loved the idea and from there it quickly developed into the Waldo cutout. “It didn’t take long to catch on, the kids whether they are in the rooms or in a play area, they look across as soon as they get to the window,” Prescott told ABC News. “They will look all over the building, point and exclaim (惊叫) ‘I found him!’” Haney, meanwhile, simply enjoys knowing that he can brighten the children’s day and make them forget that they are in hospital for a few minutes. Jason has said over and over again, “All I did this for was to make the kids smile.” Haney even created a Facebook group where he leaves clues as to where Waldo might be hiding and the children can post photos of their findings. The project has been a huge success, with hundreds of people sharing photos of Waldo and happy parents thanking Haney for making an otherwise difficult visit to the hospital just that little bit more enjoyable. 4. Why did Jason Haney create the Waldo cutout? A. To bring joy to sick kids in the nearby hospital. B. To make his construction site more famous. C. To practice his hobby of art with his daughter. D. To attract more attention to the hospital’s work. 5. What can we learn about the Waldo game from paragraph 3? A. The kids need to find Waldo once a week. B. The game ends when all kids find Waldo. C. The game is kept going by moving Waldo regularly. D. The workers hide Waldo in the same place every day. 6. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. Parents think the Waldo project makes hospital stays easier for kids. B. Haney’s next project will be more successful than the Waldo one. C. The Facebook group is only used to share hints about Waldo’s location. D. Haney posted photos online to encourage the ill kids. 7. Which of the following words can best describe Jason Haney? A. Selfless and humorous. B. Kind-hearted and creative. C. Shy and quiet. D. Considerate and serious. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述印第安纳州建筑工人杰森・哈尼为医院里无法外出的患病儿童打造“寻找沃尔多”游戏，通过移动沃尔多纸板、创建社交群组等方式为孩子带来欢乐的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Haney noticed that many of the sick kids at the Memorial Children’s Hospital in South Bend could not go outside, and his construction site was the only view from their hospital rooms.

As soon as Haney finds out that the kids have found Waldo, the cutout gets moved to a new secret hiding spot and the game begins again.(每天，工人们把沃尔多藏在建筑工地的不同地方，给孩子们带来了新的挑战。一旦哈尼发现孩子们找到了沃尔多，剪纸就会被转移到一个新的秘密隐藏点，游戏又开始了)”以及最后一段中“Haney even created a Facebook group where he leaves clues as to where Waldo might be hiding and the children can post photos of their findings.(哈尼甚至创建了一个Facebook群组，在里面留下沃尔多可能藏身处的线索，孩子们也可以发布找到沃尔多的照片)”可知，他通过设计“寻找沃尔多”的互动游戏、创建社交群组拓展活动形式，体现了创造力。故选B。 C Strangers are more likely to become friends if their brains respond similarly to movie clips, suggesting neural (神经的) activity can predict relationships. Across cultures, humans seek like-minded people — a phenomenon called homophily — which explains past findings of neural similarities among friends. But researchers didn’t know if this comes from friends growing alike over time or people being drawn to similar thought processes. Carolyn Parkinson at the University of California, Los Angeles and her colleagues collected brain scans from 41 students before they began a graduate programme. During the scans, participants watched a series of 14 movie clips spanning a range of styles such as documentary or comedy, and various topics including food, sports and science. The researchers then analysed the neural activity of each participant across 214 brain regions. The participants — along with the 246 other students in their programme — completed a survey two months afterwards and again after an additional six months asking who they enjoyed spending their free time with. People who were friends at the eight-month mark had more similar responses in a portion of the left orbitofrontal cortex (眼窝前额皮质), a brain region involved in processing subjective value, than those who were furthest apart in the social network. This effect remained significant even after accounting for similarities in taste based on how much people rated their own enjoyment or interest in the movie clips. Two months into the programme, friends and non-friends had no neural difference, suggesting people may initially form friendships based on proximity (距离) before finding closer friends over time. Supporting this, when friendships changed between the two surveys, participants who grew closer had significantly greater similarities in the activity of 42 brain regions than those who drifted apart. The link remained significant even after accounting for factors such as age, gender and hometown. Dunbar, who wasn’t involved with the research, doesn’t find these results surprising. Rather, they confirm what many have long suspected — “that like attracts like, rather than people thrown together by accidents draw closer in their traits”, he says. “In other words, close friends are born, not made.” 8. What is the key question the research aims to solve? A. How long it takes for strangers to become close friends. B. Whether neural similarities come from shared traits or experiences. C. Why the left orbitofrontal cortex affects friendship formation. D. How movie clips influence people’s neural activity. 9. What do we know about the research process? A. Participants were asked some questions before watching movie clips. B. Participants did surveys on their favorite movies. C. Brain data was collected before tracking changes in friendships. D. The surveys focused on participants’ opinions about friendship. 10. What is Dunbar’s attitude towards the research results? A. Approving. B. Skeptical. C. Critical. D. Neutral. 11. Which saying best matches the research’s main conclusion? A. Not an enemy, not a couple. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed. C. Distance makes the heart grow fonder. D. Birds of a feather flock together. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了神经活动可以预测人际关系，陌生人如果对电影片段的神经反应相似，更有可能成为朋友。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But researchers didn’t know if this comes from friends growing alike over time or people being drawn to similar thought processes.(但研究人员不知道这是由于朋友随着时间的推移变得相似，还是人们被相似的思维过程所吸引。)”可知，这项研究旨在解决的关键问题是神经相似性是否来自共同的特征或经历。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Carolyn Parkinson at the University of California, Los Angeles and her colleagues collected brain scans from 41 students before they began a graduate program.(加州大学洛杉矶分校的卡罗琳·帕金森和她的同事在41名学生开始研究生课程之前收集了他们的大脑扫描数据。)”和第四段“The participants — along with the 246 other students in their programme — completed a survey two months afterwards and again after an additional six months asking who they enjoyed spending their free time with.(两个月后，参与者以及他们项目中的其他246名学生完成了一项调查，并在又过了六个月后再次完成了一项调查，询问他们喜欢和谁一起度过空闲时间。)”可知，研究过程是在追踪友谊变化之前收集了大脑数据。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dunbar, who wasn’t involved with the research, doesn’t find these results surprising. Rather, they confirm what many have long suspected — “that like attracts like, rather than people thrown together by accidents draw closer in their traits”, he says. “In other words, close friends are born, not made.”(没有参与这项研究的邓巴对这些结果并不感到惊讶。相反，这些结果证实了许多人长期以来的怀疑——“物以类聚，而不是偶然聚在一起的人在性格上更接近”，他说。“换句话说，亲密的朋友是天生的，而不是后天培养的。”)”可知，邓巴对研究结果持赞成的态度。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。短文主要讲述了神经活动可以预测人际关系，陌生人如果对电影片段的神经反应相似，更有可能成为朋友，这表明神经活动可以预测人际关系。根据最后一段“Rather, they confirm what many have long suspected — “that like attracts like, rather than people thrown together by accidents draw closer in their traits”, he says. “In other words, close friends are born, not made.”(相反，这些结果证实了许多人长期以来的怀疑——“物以类聚，而不是偶然聚在一起的人在性格上更接近”，他说。“换句话说，亲密的朋友是天生的，而不是后天培养的。”)”可知，研究的主要结论是物以类聚。故选D。 D A chatbot (聊天机器人) might not break a sweat every time you ask it to make your shopping list or come up with its best dad jokes. But over time, the planet might. As generative AI such as large language models, or LLMs, becomes everywhere, we now face crucial questions. For every interaction with AI, how much energy is used — and how much carbon dioxide is emitted (排放)? In June, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman claimed that an average ChatGPT ask uses as much energy as an oven does in a little over one second. AI research firm Epoch AI previously calculated a similar estimate. However, some experts say the claim lacks key context, like what an “average” ask even is. “If you wanted to be thorough about it, you would have to give a range,” says Sasha Luccioni, an AI researcher at the AI firm Hugging Face. “You can’t just throw a number out there.” Major players including OpenAI and Anthropic have the data, but they’re not sharing. Instead, researchers can only piece together limited clues from open-source LLMs. One study in Frontiers in Communication examined 14 such models, including those from Meta and DeepSeek, and found that some models produce up to 70 times as much CO₂ emissions as others. But even these numbers offer an incomplete picture. Things get more dire after factoring in model training, manufacturing and maintaining hardware, and how widely generative AI is expected to spread into our daily lives. LLMs are energy-hungry, in part because of their large number of parameters (参数) — the internal settings a model adjusts during training to improve performance. The more parameters, the more capacity the model has to learn patterns and relationships in data. GPT-4 is estimated to have over a trillion parameters. These models are housed in massive data centers across the world and loaded on servers containing powerful chips called graphics processing units. GPUs do the computations needed to generate helpful outputs. The more parameters, typically the more chips that are needed. And that requires a lot of energy. Already, 4.4 percent of all energy in the United States goes toward data centers. By 2028, this number is projected to grow to up to 12 percent. 12. How does the author introduce? A. By making a contrast. B. By presenting alarming statistics. C. By quoting a leading expert in the field. D. By defining key technical terms. 13. What do some experts think of Sam Altman’s claim? A. They think it properly accounts for complex asks. B. They consider it an oversimplification. C. They argue the claim is based on outdated or inaccurate data. D. They believe it underestimates the energy used per ask. 14. What does the underlined word “dire” in paragraph 6 probably mean? A. Insignificant. B. Direct and straightforward. C. Extremely serious. D. Dirty or polluted. 15. What is the major message of this text? A. Reducing parameters is the key to environment-friendly generative AI. B. The financial cost of AI hardware is the main barrier to its development. C The benefits of generative AI justify its substantial energy consumption. D. Generative AI’s growth is creating a severe energy consumption crisis. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨生成式人工智能在普及过程中产生的能源消耗与碳排放问题，以及相关数据的不透明性和未来能源需求的严峻趋势。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A chatbot might not break a sweat every time you ask it to make your shopping list or come up with its best dad jokes. But over time, the planet might.(让聊天机器人帮你列购物清单或讲几个拿手的老爸笑话，它可能毫不费力。但长此以往，地球或许会因此 吃不消。)”可知，作者通过“聊天机器人的轻松”与“地球的负担”形成对比，引出话题。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, some experts say the claim lacks key context, like what an “average” ask even is.(然而，一些专家表示，这一说法缺乏关键背景信息，比如所谓的“平均”请求究竟指什么)”及第四段中“You can’t just throw a number out there.(你不能就这么随便抛出一个数字)”可知，专家认为山姆・奥特曼的说法过于简化，未考虑复杂背景。故选B。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第六段“But even these numbers offer an incomplete picture. Things get more dire after factoring in model training, manufacturing and maintaining hardware, and how widely generative AI is expected to spread into our daily lives.(但即便这些数据也不够全面。当把模型训练、硬件制造与维护，以及生成式人工智能预计在日常生活中的普及程度都考虑进去后，情况会变得更加dire)”可知，前文提到数据不完整，后文补充更多消耗因素，说明情况会“更加严重”，由此猜测dire的意思是“非常严重的”。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第二段“As generative AI such as large language models, or LLMs, becomes everywhere, we now face crucial questions. For every interaction with AI, how much energy is used — and how much carbon dioxide is emitted (排放)?(随着大型语言模型等生成式人工智能变得无处不在，我们现在面临着关键问题。每一次与人工智能的互动，使用了多少能源，排放了多少二氧化碳？)”以及第六段“But even these numbers offer an incomplete picture. Things get more dire after factoring in model training, manufacturing and maintaining hardware, and how widely generative AI is expected to spread into our daily lives.(但即便这些数据也不够全面。当把模型训练、硬件制造与维护，以及生成式人工智能预计在日常生活中的普及程度都考虑进去后，情况会变得更加严重)”可知，文章主要探讨生成式人工智能在普及过程中产生的能源消耗与碳排放问题，并通过数据指出它们的发展正在造成严重的能源消耗危机。故选D。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5 分,满分 12.5 分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Four Things People Get Wrong About Memory Our memories of experiences, feelings and emotions play a huge role in our future behaviours. ____16____. We’re here to explain why some common assumptions about memory are incorrect. 1 Memories are accurate Our memory is not perfect. How we remember things is shaped by our environment, beliefs, and interpretation of an event. The brain is not a video recorder, accurately and constantly recording events around us. ____17____. Our memories are shaped by our own thoughts and feelings, making them not always reflective of what actually happened. 2 ____18____ It is a common belief that once formed, a memory remains constant for life. However, this is not true. Memory formation is a complex process involving many parts of the brain, creating both emotional and factual records. Over time, recalling a memory from a new perspective can reshape it into a new version. What’s more, when we tell a story many times, we might add or invent extra details, which over time become part of the memory. 3 Doing puzzles will improve your memory Puzzles can help, but only within a specific context. ____19____. While they are a good way to keep the brain active, they do not significantly boost your overall memory. For broader benefits, activities like exercise are far more effective. Exercise requires learning movement sequences and increases blood flow to the brain, both of which enhance memory function. 4 Constant study improves performance When studying for a test or presentation, the typical strategy is to spend long hours intensely reviewing material. While repetition has its place, it is incorrect to assume that more time always leads to better results. ____20____. You will often find that you recall information more effectively after a proper break than during the intense study session itself. A. Memories don’t change B. But they can often be misunderstood C. Forgetting is always a sign of memory failure D. Memories can be both conscious and unconscious E. Your brain requires undisturbed rest to lock in information F. We’re not able to rewind the tape to replay things we’ve seen G. Doing crosswords, for example, will make you better at crosswords 【答案】16. B 17. F 18. A 19. G 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要指出人们对记忆存在的四个常见误解，并逐一解释这些误解为何不正确，帮助读者建立对记忆的正确认知。 【16题详解】 上文“Our memories of experiences, feelings and emotions play a huge role in our future behaviours.(我们对经历、感受和情绪的记忆在未来行为中起着重要作用)”说明了记忆的重要性，而下文“We’re here to explain why some common assumptions about memory are incorrect.(我们来解释一下为什么一些关于记忆的常见看法是错误的)”则转折到纠正记忆误解的主题，中间需要过渡句体现“记忆虽重要，但存在误解”的逻辑。选项B“但它们（记忆）常常会被误解”符合语境，承上启下。故选B。 【17题详解】 上文“The brain is not a video recorder, accurately and constantly recording events around us.(大脑并非录像机，不能精准、持续地记录我们周围发生的事情)”将大脑与录像机作对比，强调大脑不会像录像机一样记录事件。选项F“我们无法倒带重放见过的事情”延续“大脑不是录像机”的比喻，进一步说明大脑记忆无法像录像带一样倒放，与上文表述一致，衔接自然。故选F。 【18题详解】 本空是第二个误解的标题，需概括该段核心内容。下文“It is a common belief that once formed, a memory remains constant for life. However, this is not true.(人们普遍认为，记忆一旦形成，就会终身不变。但事实并非如此)”围绕“记忆会变化”展开，由此可知，第二个错误的观点是“记忆不会改变”。选项A“记忆不会改变”符合段落结构（先提出误解，再进行解释）。故选A。 【19题详解】 上文“Puzzles can help, but only within a specific context.(解谜有帮助，但只在特定范围内)”指出解谜的帮助具有局限性，下文“While they are a good way to keep the brain active, they do not significantly boost your overall memory.(虽然它们能让大脑保持活跃，但无法显著提升整体记忆力)”进一步说明其作用有限。选项G“例如，做填字游戏只会让你更擅长做填字游戏”通过填字游戏的例子，类比解释解谜的局限性。故选G。 【20题详解】 上文“While repetition has its place, it is incorrect to assume that more time always leads to better results.(虽然重复有一定作用，但认为花更多时间就一定能有更好结果的想法是错误的)”否定“时间长效果就更好”的观点，下文“You will often find that you recall information more effectively after a proper break than during the intense study session itself.(你会发现，适当休息后回忆信息的效果往往比高强度学习时更好)”强调“休息”的重要性。选项E“你的大脑需要不受干扰的休息来巩固信息”解释了“休息后记忆效果更好”的原因，承接上文“长时间学习无效”，引出下文“休息的作用”，衔接紧密。故选E。 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) Kneeling on the shoulder of a highway ramp (匝道) somewhere outside Nashville, I ran my thumb over the black mark my Subaru had just made on a late-model Audi. “Do you have ____21____?” the driver, dressed in a striped polo golf shirt, asked as he looked down at me. With my wild curls, torn jeans and ____22____ face, I was sure I was dead meat in his eyes — ____23____ in the eyes of our auto insurer. This would be the second at-fault ____24____ for my husband, Paul, and me within two ____25____ weeks of moving into our new Nashville house. Mr. Golf Shirt cleared his throat. Then came the most ___26___ words I’d heard in my lifetime: “You know, forget it. Just remember, love is all around!” Then he ____27____ his car, and took off.

The morning sun hung low but fierce, baking the pavement until it shimmered (发微光) with a hazy heat. My job was to follow behind the runners in an ambulance in case any of them needed medical attention. The driver and I were in an air-conditioned ambulance behind approximately one hundred athletes waiting to hear the sharp crack of the starting gun. “We’re supposed to stay behind the last runner, so take it slowly,” I said to the driver, Doug, as we began to edge forward. “Let’s just hope the last runner is fast!” He laughed. As they began to pace themselves, the front runners started to disappear. It was then that my eyes were drawn to the woman in blue silk running shorts and a baggy white T-shirt. “Doug, look!” We knew we were already watching our “last runner”. Her feet were turned in, almost pigeon-toed, yet her left knee was turned out. Her legs were so crippled (跛腿的) and bent that it seemed impossible for her to be able to walk, let alone run a marathon. With each step, her body swayed (摇摆) slightly, and her arms pumped in a determined, almost desperate rhythm to push herself forward. Doug and I watched in silence as she slowly moved forward. We didn’t say a thing. We would move forward a little bit, then stop and wait for her to gain some distance. Then we’d slowly move forward a little bit more. As I watched her struggle to put one foot in front of the other, I found myself breathing for her and urging her forward. My heart ached for her effort, and a part of me wanted her to stop, to rest, to save herself from the obvious pain. Yet another part, deeper and more stubborn, prayed she wouldn’t — not yet. Finally, she was the only runner left in sight. Tears streamed down my face as I sat on the edge of my seat and watched with awe, amazement and even great respect as she pushed forward with absolute determination through the last miles. 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。 Suddenly, she lost her balance and fell down. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We decided to wait for her at the finishing line as the cheering crowds had long left. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Suddenly, she lost her balance and fell down. Her body hit the hot pavement with a soft thud, and for a second, she lay there motionless. Doug and I held our breath, half wanting to rush over but knowing we shouldn’t disturb her choice. Slowly, she propped herself up on her elbows, her face glistening with sweat and dust. She didn’t look up or sigh — she just brushed off her T-shirt, adjusted her posture, and stood up again. With a deep breath, she took her first shaky step forward, then another, her rhythm slower but no less determined. Doug and I exchanged a quiet look, both of us even more moved than before. We decided to wait for her at the finishing line as the cheering crowds had long left. The sun was setting, painting the sky in warm oranges and pinks, and the pavement had cooled a little. We stood there, leaning against the ambulance, watching her tiny figure get closer bit by bit. When she finally rounded the last corner and saw the finish line, her steps faltered for a second — then she smiled, a small but bright one. She crossed the line with a final push, and Doug and I clapped loudly, our hands stinging. She turned to us, breathless but beaming, and said, “I did it.” I nodded, too choked up to speak — knowing we’d just witnessed something far more powerful than a marathon win. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述小镇年度马拉松常遇热浪，作者和司机道格开救护车跟在选手后待命。比赛中，我们注意到一位腿部残疾的女子落在最后，她步履艰难却意志坚定。作者既心疼她的痛苦，又敬佩她的坚持，看着她在最后几英里仍奋力前进，“我”满是敬畏与感动。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①根据第一段首句“突然，她失去平衡，跌倒了。”可知，接下来可描写她跌倒后是如何靠自己站起来并继续比赛的，以及“我们”的感动。 ②根据第二段首句“我们决定在终点线等她，因为欢呼的人群早就离开了。”可知，接下来可描写日落余晖时她终于出现在终点线附近，笑容灿烂，作者与司机也为之高兴。 2.续写线索：她突然跌倒——作者与司机想上前帮忙——她靠自己的力量站起来并继续跑——作者与司机感动决定在终点线等她——她终于接近终点线，笑容灿烂——感悟 3.词类激活 行为类 ①擦去：brush off/wipe off ②冲：rush/dash ③慢下来：slower/slow down 情绪类 ①笑容满面：beam/grin ②哽咽地说不出话来：choke up/overcome with emotion 【点睛】【高分句型1】Slowly, she propped herself up on her elbows, her face glistening with sweat and dust. （运用了独立主格结构） 【高分句型2】 When she finally rounded the last corner and saw the finish line, her steps faltered for a second — then she smiled, a small but bright one. （运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 石家庄实验中学2026高三年级教学质量摸底检测 英语试卷 注意事项: 1.答卷前,考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号填写在本试卷和答题卡的相应位置上。 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。写在本试卷上无效。 3.回答非选择题时,将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 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) 1.

B Jason Haney is a construction worker from Indiana. When he began his current job as foreman on a site opposite a children’s hospital, this awesome dad and hobby artist had a brilliant idea. Haney noticed that many of the sick kids at the Memorial Children’s Hospital in South Bend could not go outside, and his construction site was the only view from their hospital rooms. So together with his teenage daughter, Haney built a 2.5 meter tall plywood (胶合板) cut out of Waldo from the famous Where’s Waldo? books. Every day, the workers hide Waldo in a different spot on the construction site, giving the children a new challenge. As soon as Haney finds out that the kids have found Waldo, the cutout gets moved to a new secret hiding spot and the game begins again. Heidi Prescott, a spokeswoman for Beacon Health System, which runs the hospital, said the project began one winter when the workers put up an inflatable (可充气的) snowman for the children. The kids loved the idea and from there it quickly developed into the Waldo cutout. “It didn’t take long to catch on, the kids whether they are in the rooms or in a play area, they look across as soon as they get to the window,” Prescott told ABC News. “They will look all over the building, point and exclaim (惊叫) ‘I found him!’” Haney, meanwhile, simply enjoys knowing that he can brighten the children’s day and make them forget that they are in hospital for a few minutes. Jason has said over and over again, “All I did this for was to make the kids smile.” Haney even created a Facebook group where he leaves clues as to where Waldo might be hiding and the children can post photos of their findings. The project has been a huge success, with hundreds of people sharing photos of Waldo and happy parents thanking Haney for making an otherwise difficult visit to the hospital just that little bit more enjoyable. 4. Why did Jason Haney create the Waldo cutout? A. To bring joy to sick kids in the nearby hospital. B. To make his construction site more famous. C. To practice his hobby of art with his daughter. D. To attract more attention to the hospital’s work. 5. What can we learn about the Waldo game from paragraph 3? A. The kids need to find Waldo once a week. B. The game ends when all kids find Waldo. C. The game is kept going by moving Waldo regularly. D The workers hide Waldo in the same place every day. 6. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. Parents think the Waldo project makes hospital stays easier for kids. B. Haney’s next project will be more successful than the Waldo one. C. The Facebook group is only used to share hints about Waldo’s location. D. Haney posted photos online to encourage the ill kids. 7. Which of the following words can best describe Jason Haney? A. Selfless and humorous. B. Kind-hearted and creative. C. Shy and quiet. D. Considerate and serious. C Strangers are more likely to become friends if their brains respond similarly to movie clips, suggesting neural (神经的) activity can predict relationships. Across cultures, humans seek like-minded people — a phenomenon called homophily — which explains past findings of neural similarities among friends. But researchers didn’t know if this comes from friends growing alike over time or people being drawn to similar thought processes. Carolyn Parkinson at the University of California, Los Angeles and her colleagues collected brain scans from 41 students before they began a graduate programme. During the scans, participants watched a series of 14 movie clips spanning a range of styles such as documentary or comedy, and various topics including food, sports and science. The researchers then analysed the neural activity of each participant across 214 brain regions. The participants — along with the 246 other students in their programme — completed a survey two months afterwards and again after an additional six months asking who they enjoyed spending their free time with. People who were friends at the eight-month mark had more similar responses in a portion of the left orbitofrontal cortex (眼窝前额皮质), a brain region involved in processing subjective value, than those who were furthest apart in the social network. This effect remained significant even after accounting for similarities in taste based on how much people rated their own enjoyment or interest in the movie clips. Two months into the programme, friends and non-friends had no neural difference, suggesting people may initially form friendships based on proximity (距离) before finding closer friends over time. Supporting this, when friendships changed between the two surveys, participants who grew closer had significantly greater similarities in the activity of 42 brain regions than those who drifted apart. The link remained significant even after accounting for factors such as age, gender and hometown. Dunbar, who wasn’t involved with the research, doesn’t find these results surprising. Rather, they confirm what many have long suspected — “that like attracts like, rather than people thrown together by accidents draw closer in their traits”, he says. “In other words, close friends are born, not made.” 8. What is the key question the research aims to solve? A. How long it takes for strangers to become close friends. B. Whether neural similarities come from shared traits or experiences. C. Why the left orbitofrontal cortex affects friendship formation. D. How movie clips influence people’s neural activity. 9. What do we know about the research process? A. Participants were asked some questions before watching movie clips. B. Participants did surveys on their favorite movies. C. Brain data was collected before tracking changes in friendships. D. The surveys focused on participants’ opinions about friendship. 10. What is Dunbar’s attitude towards the research results? A. Approving. B. Skeptical. C. Critical. D. Neutral. 11. Which saying best matches the research’s main conclusion? A. Not an enemy, not a couple. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed. C. Distance makes the heart grow fonder. D. Birds of a feather flock together. D A chatbot (聊天机器人) might not break a sweat every time you ask it to make your shopping list or come up with its best dad jokes. But over time, the planet might. As generative AI such as large language models, or LLMs, becomes everywhere, we now face crucial questions. For every interaction with AI, how much energy is used — and how much carbon dioxide is emitted (排放)? In June, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman claimed that an average ChatGPT ask uses as much energy as an oven does in a little over one second. AI research firm Epoch AI previously calculated a similar estimate. However, some experts say the claim lacks key context, like what an “average” ask even is. “If you wanted to be thorough about it, you would have to give a range,” says Sasha Luccioni, an AI researcher at the AI firm Hugging Face. “You can’t just throw a number out there.” Major players including OpenAI and Anthropic have the data, but they’re not sharing. Instead, researchers can only piece together limited clues from open-source LLMs. One study in Frontiers in Communication examined 14 such models, including those from Meta and DeepSeek, and found that some models produce up to 70 times as much CO₂ emissions as others. But even these numbers offer an incomplete picture. Things get more dire after factoring in model training, manufacturing and maintaining hardware, and how widely generative AI is expected to spread into our daily lives. LLMs are energy-hungry, in part because of their large number of parameters (参数) — the internal settings a model adjusts during training to improve performance. The more parameters, the more capacity the model has to learn patterns and relationships in data. GPT-4 is estimated to have over a trillion parameters. These models are housed in massive data centers across the world and loaded on servers containing powerful chips called graphics processing units. GPUs do the computations needed to generate helpful outputs. The more parameters, typically the more chips that are needed. And that requires a lot of energy. Already, 4.4 percent of all energy in the United States goes toward data centers. By 2028, this number is projected to grow to up to 12 percent. 12. How does the author introduce? A. By making a contrast. B. By presenting alarming statistics. C. By quoting a leading expert in the field. D. By defining key technical terms. 13. What do some experts think of Sam Altman’s claim? A. They think it properly accounts for complex asks. B. They consider it an oversimplification. C. They argue the claim is based on outdated or inaccurate data. D. They believe it underestimates the energy used per ask. 14. What does the underlined word “dire” in paragraph 6 probably mean? A. Insignificant. B. Direct and straightforward. C. Extremely serious. D. Dirty or polluted. 15 What is the major message of this text? A. Reducing parameters is the key to environment-friendly generative AI. B. The financial cost of AI hardware is the main barrier to its development. C. The benefits of generative AI justify its substantial energy consumption. D. Generative AI’s growth is creating a severe energy consumption crisis. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5 分,满分 12.5 分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Four Things People Get Wrong About Memory Our memories of experiences, feelings and emotions play a huge role in our future behaviours. ____16____. We’re here to explain why some common assumptions about memory are incorrect. 1 Memories are accurate Our memory is not perfect. How we remember things is shaped by our environment, beliefs, and interpretation of an event. The brain is not a video recorder, accurately and constantly recording events around us. ____17____. Our memories are shaped by our own thoughts and feelings, making them not always reflective of what actually happened. 2 ____18____ It is a common belief that once formed, a memory remains constant for life. However, this is not true. Memory formation is a complex process involving many parts of the brain, creating both emotional and factual records. Over time, recalling a memory from a new perspective can reshape it into a new version. What’s more, when we tell a story many times, we might add or invent extra details, which over time become part of the memory. 3 Doing puzzles will improve your memory Puzzles can help, but only within a specific context. ____19____. While they are a good way to keep the brain active, they do not significantly boost your overall memory. For broader benefits, activities like exercise are far more effective. Exercise requires learning movement sequences and increases blood flow to the brain, both of which enhance memory function. 4 Constant study improves performance When studying for a test or presentation, the typical strategy is to spend long hours intensely reviewing material. While repetition has its place, it is incorrect to assume that more time always leads to better results. ____20____. You will often find that you recall information more effectively after a proper break than during the intense study session itself. A. Memories don’t change B. But they can often be misunderstood C. Forgetting is always a sign of memory failure D. Memories can be both conscious and unconscious E. Your brain requires undisturbed rest to lock in information F. We’re not able to rewind the tape to replay things we’ve seen G. Doing crosswords, for example, will make you better at crosswords 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) Kneeling on the shoulder of a highway ramp (匝道) somewhere outside Nashville, I ran my thumb over the black mark my Subaru had just made on a late-model Audi. “Do you have ____21____?” the driver, dressed in a striped polo golf shirt, asked as he looked down at me.

The morning sun hung low but fierce, baking the pavement until it shimmered (发微光) with a hazy heat. My job was to follow behind the runners in an ambulance in case any of them needed medical attention. The driver and I were in an air-conditioned ambulance behind approximately one hundred athletes waiting to hear the sharp crack of the starting gun. “We’re supposed to stay behind the last runner, so take it slowly,” I said to the driver, Doug, as we began to edge forward. “Let’s just hope the last runner is fast!” He laughed. As they began to pace themselves, the front runners started to disappear. It was then that my eyes were drawn to the woman in blue silk running shorts and a baggy white T-shirt. “Doug, look!” We knew we were already watching our “last runner”. Her feet were turned in, almost pigeon-toed, yet her left knee was turned out. Her legs were so crippled (跛腿的) and bent that it seemed impossible for her to be able to walk, let alone run a marathon. With each step, her body swayed (摇摆) slightly, and her arms pumped in a determined, almost desperate rhythm to push herself forward. Doug and I watched in silence as she slowly moved forward. We didn’t say a thing. We would move forward a little bit, then stop and wait for her to gain some distance. Then we’d slowly move forward a little bit more. As I watched her struggle to put one foot in front of the other, I found myself breathing for her and urging her forward. My heart ached for her effort, and a part of me wanted her to stop, to rest, to save herself from the obvious pain. Yet another part, deeper and more stubborn, prayed she wouldn’t — not yet. Finally, she was the only runner left in sight. Tears streamed down my face as I sat on the edge of my seat and watched with awe, amazement and even great respect as she pushed forward with absolute determination through the last miles. 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。 Suddenly, she lost her balance and fell down. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We decided to wait for her at the finishing line as the cheering crowds had long left. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
