K.’s National Health Service as it battles COVID-19. During the initial lockdown, Captain Sir Tom Moore, set out to walk 100 laps of his garden in Bedfordshire before his 100th birthday. His goal was to raise funds for the UK’s National Health Service (NHS). His original fundraising target was $1,250. His family said the fundraising site Just Giving had to stop the “Captain Tom Moore’s 100th Birthday Walk for the NHS” page from crashing, as more than 90,000 people tried to access it at one point. So far, more than 347,000 people have donated to Moore’s effort. Moore told the BBC the flood of donations was “completely out of this world.” Moore plans to continue fundraising, with another 100 laps in 10-lap daily increases. The money will go to NHS Charities Together, a collective that supports the medical staff, volunteers, facilities and patients of the NHS, Britain’s published healthcare system, which was created after the Second World War. Moore decided to use the fundraising challenge to thank NHS staff for helping him recover from a recent hip (髋关节) replacement and skin cancer. He was encouraged by his daughter, Hannah Ingram-Moore, who said she originally thought the $1,250 target was “a stretch”. Her father, who lives with her and her family, had been exercising in the back garden following the hip operation when the idea came about. “Life is all about purpose — we all need purpose,” Ingram-Moore told the BBC. “While he has had a life full of purpose, he did fall and break his hip and became much less independent than he had been for the previous 98 years.” Ingram-Moore said the British public and donors have given her father a new purpose late in life: “I think he’ll do this until everyone says, ‘Stop, don’t do this anymore.’” 4. Why did the fundraising page face technical problems? A. Moore kept changing his fundraising goal. B. Too many people tried to access it at once. C. NHS staff were using the site at the same time. D. The website was not designed for large donations. 5. What motivated Moore to start this fundraising campaign? A. His plan to set a new world record. B. His daughter’s idea to celebrate his 100th birthday. C. His need for more physical exercise after his operation. D. His wish to express thanks for the medical care he received. 6. What does Hannah mean by saying the target was “a stretch”? A. The goal was overly ambitious. B. They should increase the target. C. Her father needed to stretch more. D. The money had already been raised. 7. What of the following is the best title for the text? A. 100 Laps: A Birthday Challenge for Veterans. B. NHS Receives Millions from Generous Donors. C. WWII Veteran’s Recovery Inspires Medical Research. D. 99-Year-Old’s Walking Fundraiser Brings in Millions. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位99岁的英国二战老兵汤姆·穆尔上尉，为了感谢英国国家医疗服务体系（NHS）在他髋关节置换和皮肤癌治疗期间的帮助，决定在100岁生日前绕自家花园走100圈，以此为NHS筹集资金，最终筹集到了超过900万美元的捐款。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“His family said the fundraising site Just Giving had to stop the “Captain Tom Moore’s 100th Birthday Walk for the NHS” page from crashing, as more than 90,000 people tried to access it at one point. (他的家人表示，由于曾一度有超过9万人试图访问该页面，筹款平台“Just Giving”不得不采取措施防止“汤姆・穆尔上尉百岁生日为英国国民保健署（NHS）徒步筹款”页面崩溃。)”可知，募捐页面面临技术问题的原因是太多人试图同时访问它。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Moore decided to use the fundraising challenge to thank NHS staff for helping him recover from a recent hip replacement and skin cancer. (穆尔决定利用这次筹款挑战来感谢NHS工作人员帮助他从最近的髋关节置换和皮肤癌中康复。)”可知，促使穆尔发起这次筹款活动的是他想表达对他所接受的医疗护理的感谢。故选D。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“originally thought the $1,250 target was (最初目标1250美元)”，而最终筹集到“more than $9 million (超过 900 万美元)”可知，汉娜最初对该目标的态度是认为该目标有难度，由此可知，a stretch意为“难以实现的目标”。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A 99-year-old British World War II veteran has raised more than $9 million in donations for the U. K.’s National Health Service as it battles COVID-19. (一位99岁的英国二战老兵为英国国家医疗服务体系筹集了900多万美元的捐款，以抗击新冠肺炎。)”和文章其余部分详细描述了这位老兵的筹款活动可知，D项“99岁老人的步行筹款活动筹集了数百万美元”作为标题最符合文章主旨。故选D。 C The traditional image of the explorer, as taught in schools, is that of a brave individual sailing into the unknown or exploring deep jungles. Modern discovery, however, is mainly advanced by scientists. The nature of their work presents challenges that are fully comparable to the most celebrated quests from our past and our literary imagination. Exploration is science in its most basic form — asking questions of the natural world and using the answers for the betterment of everything on Earth. It has great value and the practical payoffs can be plenty. Scientists who spent decades exploring what was in the atmosphere found that over time the concentration of carbon dioxide was rising. Without that discovery, we humans would now be living like the frog in a pot of gradually heating water, unsure why the environment around us is changing, and slowly boiling to death. The human drive to overcome challenges is an essential aspect of the human drive to explore. As Robert Ballard, who discovered the sunken RMS Titanic in 1985, told us recently: “The ocean is an awe-inspiring place. I was almost killed several times. But the human spirit is indestructible.” Ballard turned 80 in June and in May spent two weeks on an expedition in the Pacific Ocean. And that drive to take on challenges often inspires the courageous, and the new inventions keep coming. Early human submarines (潜水艇) that reached the bottom of the deepest ocean trenches (沟) made the trip just once, stressed by the enormous pressures there. But eventually a more stress-resistant deep-diving vehicle, the Limiting Factor, allowed investor and undersea explorer Victor Vescovo to reach trench bottoms numerous times. Many commercial projects are involved in exploration. Maybe one day you’ll put on your virtual-reality glasses, connect with an online adventure company and rent a video-equipped remote vehicle that explorers the Great Barrier Reef from above for several hours at your direction. Captain James T. Kirk began each episode of the original Star Trek television series by saying, “Space, the final frontier.” Not necessarily. We still have plenty to discover right here on Earth, and we eagerly await surprises from the newest worlds we find. 8. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph? A. By giving examples. B. By making a contrast. C. By raising questions. D. By describing a scene. 9. What danger might stay hidden without the CO2 discovery? A. Delayed scientific progress. B. Gradual environmental threats. C. Reduced technological innovation. D. Weakened recognition of exploration. 10. What does Ballard’s statement imply about exploration? A. It carries on despite dangers. B. It relies on advanced tools. C. It mainly appeals to the youth. D. It outweighs personal safety. 11. What is the author’s view on “Space: the final frontier”? A. Space is more urgent than Earth. B. Earth still holds many discoveries. C. The quote about space is accurate. D. VR will dominate future exploration. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了现代探索与科学的关系，强调了探索在科学中的基础性作用及其带来的实际益处。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The traditional image of the explorer, as taught in schools, is that of a brave individual sailing into the unknown or exploring deep jungles. Modern discovery, however, is mainly advanced by scientists.(学校所教授的探险家传统形象，是勇敢的人驾驶船只驶入未知之地或探索茂密丛林。然而，现代发现主要由科学家推动。)”可知，作者在第一段通过对比传统探险家和现代科学家的探索方式来提出问题。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Scientists who spent decades exploring what was in the atmosphere found that over time the concentration of carbon dioxide was rising. Without that discovery, we humans would now be living like the frog in a pot of gradually heating water, unsure why the environment around us is changing, and slowly boiling to death.(科学家们花了数十年时间探索大气中的成分，发现随着时间的推移，二氧化碳的浓度在上升。如果没有这一发现，我们现在就会像一只在逐渐加热的水中的青蛙一样生活，不知道为什么我们周围的环境在变化，慢慢地被煮死。)”可知，如果没有二氧化碳的发现，可能会隐藏逐渐的环境威胁。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“As Robert Ballard, who discovered the sunken RMS Titanic in 1985, told us recently: “The ocean is an awe-inspiring place. I was almost killed several times. But the human spirit is indestructible.” Ballard turned 80 in June and in May spent two weeks on an expedition in the Pacific Ocean.( 1985年发现沉没的英国皇家邮轮 “泰坦尼克号” 的罗伯特・巴拉德最近表示：“海洋是一个令人敬畏的地方。我曾好几次险些丧命。但人类的精神是不可摧毁的。” 巴拉德于6月年满80岁，5月时还在太平洋进行了为期两周的探险。)”可知，巴拉德的陈述暗示了尽管有危险，探索仍在进行。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Captain James T. Kirk began each episode of the original Star Trek television series by saying, “Space, the final frontier.” Not necessarily. We still have plenty to discover right here on Earth, and we eagerly await surprises from the newest worlds we find.(詹姆斯・T・柯克船长在原版《星际迷航》电视剧每一集的开头都会说：“太空，最后的边疆。” 但情况未必如此。我们在地球上仍有许多东西有待发现，也热切期待着从新发现的世界中收获惊喜。)”可知，作者认为地球上仍有许多发现。故选B。 D The night sky is one of few things humanity has been able to rely on throughout the course of our history. But year by year, it is becoming harder to count on due to light pollution. Light pollution comes in many forms and most profound for our species, and for others, is what’s known as skyglow: the phenomenon by which the night sky itself grows brighter than its natural state. Unsurprisingly, it is worst over cities, where streetlamps and even office buildings stay shining brightly even after most residents have closed the blinds and gone to bed, making most people in cities only make out a handful or none of stars at night. Yet degraded views of the Milky Way are the least of the troubles light pollution causes our species and other species. Astronomers find themselves discouraged: They’re having trouble finding areas dark enough for their observatories. And when they do find them, rapidly increasing satellites can, effectively, photobomb their exposures by reflecting the light of the sun long after it has set. Bothered, too, are migratory birds trusting the light in the environment to tell them where to go and when to go there. Sometimes, they’re drawn away from their routes to cities and crash into windows because of tiredness. And all humans experience the harms of disturbance to our circadian rhythms (昼夜节律) -which happens when we’re exposed to blue light during the night instead of the day. Ever-brighter night skies might not feel like a crisis way down here. But a landmark survey discovered that the sky became 10 percent brighter per year over the past 10 or so years. That means a child growing from a baby to a young adult is likely, by the time they are ready to head off to college, to see two or three times fewer stars every night than they could as a child. The sharp rise in satellites flying through low Earth orbit, not to mention the debris (碎片) caused by their frequent collisions (碰撞), only worsens the problem. The good news is that humanity’s mistakes today leave much room for improvement. That starts with the satellites: Limiting debris, already urgent, will limit light pollution, too. Companies are also already experimenting, at the National Science Foundation’s request, with adding shades, coatings and more to satellites so that they become one with space rather than shine out against it. 12. According to the text, what is a most significant form of light pollution? A. Intense light from vehicles. B. Satellite-reflected sunlight. C. Unwanted light entering homes. D. Artificial brightening of the night sky. 13. Which of the following may be a challenge for astronomers? A. Migratory birds blocking telescopes. B. Too much blue light from office buildings. C. Shortage of instruments in observation sites. D. Satellites ruining images with reflected sunlight. 14. Why does the author mention a child’s experience in paragraph 4? A. To explain satellite collision mechanisms. B. To criticize educational failures in astronomy. C. To illustrate the impact of increasing sky brightness. D. To highlight generational differences in star observation. 15. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Prospects of space technology. B. Measures against light pollution. C. Humanity’s potential to correct errors. D. Scientific institutions’ role in innovation. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，介绍了光污染的相关情况。文章阐述了光污染的主要形式、多方面危害，并用数据说明其加剧趋势，最后给出了应对措施。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Light pollution comes in many forms and most profound for our species, and for others, is what’s known as skyglow: the phenomenon by which the night sky itself grows brighter than its natural state.(光污染有多种形式，其中对人类和其他物种影响最深远的是一种被称为“天空辉光”的现象：即夜空本身比其自然状态变得更亮的现象)”可知，光污染最显著的形式是“天空辉光”，即夜空本身由于人为原因变得更亮。选项D“Artificial brightening of the night sky.(夜间天空的人为增亮)”是对该描述的准确概括。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Astronomers find themselves discouraged: They’re having trouble finding areas dark enough for their observatories. And when they do find them, rapidly increasing satellites can, effectively, photobomb their exposures by reflecting the light of the sun long after it has set.(天文学家感到沮丧：他们很难找到足够黑暗的地区来建立天文台。而且，即使找到了这样的地区，迅速增加的卫星也可能通过反射太阳光（即使在太阳落山很久之后）来破坏他们的曝光成像)”可知，天文学家面临的挑战之一是卫星反射的阳光会破坏他们的观测图像。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“But a landmark survey discovered that the sky became 10 percent brighter per year over the past 10 or so years. That means a child growing from a baby to a young adult is likely, by the time they are ready to head off to college, to see two or three times fewer stars every night than they could as a child.(但一项具有里程碑意义的调查发现，在过去大约十年里，天空每年变亮10%。这意味着一个从婴儿成长到青年的孩子，到他们准备上大学时，每晚能看到的星星数量可能比他们小时候少两到三倍)”可知，作者以孩子成长过程中可见星星数量锐减为例，是为了具体说明天空亮度逐年增加所带来的实际影响和后果，即观星条件在短时间内急剧恶化。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章最后一段第一句“The good news is that humanity’s mistakes today leave much room for improvement.(好消息是，人类今天的错误留下了很大的改进空间)”引出了本段主题：改善的余地。接着，第二、三句“That starts with the satellites: Limiting debris, already urgent, will limit light pollution, too. Companies are also already experimenting, at the National Science Foundation’s request, with adding shades, coatings and more to satellites so that they become one with space rather than shine out against it.(这要从卫星开始：限制碎片已经刻不容缓，同时也会限制光污染。在国家科学基金会的要求下，公司已经开始试验为卫星添加遮光罩、涂层等，使它们与太空融为一体，而不是在太空中闪闪发光。)”具体介绍了限制卫星碎片和改造卫星设计这两种应对光污染的措施。因此，该段的主要内容是关于如何应对光污染的措施。选项B“Measures against light pollution.(应对光污染的措施)”概括了段落主旨。故选B项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The roll-out of 5G technology is set to transform not only the way we live but also the modes of work, promising innovative changes across societies. ____16____ It enables smooth 4K/8K video streaming, instant downloads of large files, and better online gaming experiences that redefine digital entertainment.

He required students to present their self-created works one by one, with scores given by Mr. Evan to determine the best! For weeks, everyone in class was working on their poems. You could hear people whispering lines, crossing out words, and starting over. Everyone was trying to write something real. Well, everyone except Maya. Maya didn’t get poetry. She liked things that made sense - like math problems or programming. You followed the steps, and you got an answer. But poetry? It was all feelings and unclear ideas. It made no sense. The night before the competition, Maya’s paper was still blank. Panic set in. In a moment of weakness, she went to a fancy AI writer. She typed in a few commands. In seconds, a perfect poem appeared on her screen. It used beautiful words. It was a million times better than anything she could write. Her stomach ached with guilt, but she copied it, put her name on top, and hit “print.” The next day in class, kids took turns sharing their work. Some voices shook. Some poems were a little awkward, but they felt honest. When Maya read her AI poem, her voice was shaky too-but for a different reason. Her poem sounded like it belonged in a fancy book. When she finished, the room was quiet for a second, then everyone clapped. They were impressed. But Mr. Evans didn’t clap. He just looked at her with a quiet, knowing look. After class, he asked her to stay. Her heart was pounding. Was she in trouble? He held up her poem. “You know, Maya,” he said, not angry, just thoughtful. “This poem is… perfect. The words are all in the right place. But it doesn’t sound like you.” He pointed to a line. “A real person would have tripped up here. They would have used a simpler word, maybe. That’s where the real stuff is. This… this feels like a perfect robot.” 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。 Hearing Mr. Evans’ words, Maya’s face went hot. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Determined to create a work of her own, Maya returned to her desk. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Hearing Mr. Evans’ words, Maya’s face went hot. She felt a rush of shame flooding over her. Head down, she admitted in a trembling voice, “Mr. Evans, I didn't write this poem. I used an AI writer because I didn't know how to write a poem myself.” To her surprise, Mr. Evans smiled gently. “It takes courage to admit a mistake. Now, why don't you give it a real try?” His words made Maya determined to prove herself. Determined to create a work of her own, Maya returned to her desk. She thought about her life, her love for math and programming. Slowly, words began to form in her mind. She wrote about the beauty of numbers and codes, pouring her true feelings onto the paper. Line by line, her poem took shape. It wasn't perfect, but it was real - a reflection of herself. When she finally finished, a sense of pride welled up in her. She couldn't wait to show Mr. Evans her real creation. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了埃文斯先生的班级举办诗歌比赛，要求学生展示自创诗歌，通过他打分来决出最佳作品。同学们都在努力创作，而玛雅不理解诗歌，比赛前一晚用人工智能写了一首完美的诗。第二天在课堂上朗读时，埃文斯先生发现这首诗虽然完美但不像她的风格，并点明了问题所在。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“听到埃文斯先生的话，玛雅的脸一下子红了。”可知，第一段可应围绕玛雅承认错误以及老师的反应展开。 ②由第二段首句内容“玛雅决心要创作一件属于自己的作品，于是她回到了办公桌前。”可知，第二段可围绕玛雅创作的过程、创作的内容以及完成后的感受展开。 2.续写线索：感到羞愧——向老师坦白——老师鼓励——玛雅完成创作——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①承认：admit /confess ②完成：finish/fulfill ③微笑：smile/beam 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②温柔地：gently/softly 【点睛】 【高分句型 1】I used an AI writer because I didn't know how to write a poem myself.”（运用了 because 引导的原因状语从句） 【高分句型 2】She wrote about the beauty of numbers and codes, pouring her true feelings onto the paper.（运用现在分词短语作伴随状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年度第一学期期中考试 高二英语 2025.11 (考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分) 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，本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案划在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

Here are the best deals, discounts, and sales you can find right now. The Marshall Major V are $60 off Stylish, long battery life, and booming (浑厚的) low end: That’s what you can expect from the Marshall Major V headphones, currently $99.99 (originally $159.99). While you’ll find other headphones with more features on this list, these ably cover all the basics, and offer a comfortable fit and a classic 80s look. The Beats Studio Pro are 51% off Beats headphones are known for their style and being a good match with Apple devices. Both of these points hold true for their flagship headphones, the Beats Studio Pro, which are currently more than half off, at $139. 99 (originally $349.99). Anker Space A40 are 44% off You can still get very good Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) earbuds even if you’re not willing to spend a fortune. The Soundcore by Anker Space A40 are $44.99 (originally $99.99) and give you as many features and even better ANC than some high-end pairs, without a high price.

K.’s National Health Service as it battles COVID-19. During the initial lockdown, Captain Sir Tom Moore, set out to walk 100 laps of his garden in Bedfordshire before his 100th birthday. His goal was to raise funds for the UK’s National Health Service (NHS). His original fundraising target was $1,250. His family said the fundraising site Just Giving had to stop the “Captain Tom Moore’s 100th Birthday Walk for the NHS” page from crashing, as more than 90,000 people tried to access it at one point. So far, more than 347,000 people have donated to Moore’s effort. Moore told the BBC the flood of donations was “completely out of this world.” Moore plans to continue fundraising, with another 100 laps in 10-lap daily increases. The money will go to NHS Charities Together, a collective that supports the medical staff, volunteers, facilities and patients of the NHS, Britain’s published healthcare system, which was created after the Second World War. Moore decided to use the fundraising challenge to thank NHS staff for helping him recover from a recent hip (髋关节) replacement and skin cancer. He was encouraged by his daughter, Hannah Ingram-Moore, who said she originally thought the $1,250 target was “a stretch”. Her father, who lives with her and her family, had been exercising in the back garden following the hip operation when the idea came about. “Life is all about purpose — we all need purpose,” Ingram-Moore told the BBC. “While he has had a life full of purpose, he did fall and break his hip and became much less independent than he had been for the previous 98 years.” Ingram-Moore said the British public and donors have given her father a new purpose late in life: “I think he’ll do this until everyone says, ‘Stop, don’t do this anymore.’” 4. Why did the fundraising page face technical problems? A. Moore kept changing his fundraising goal. B. Too many people tried to access it at once. C. NHS staff were using the site at the same time. D. The website was not designed for large donations. 5. What motivated Moore to start this fundraising campaign? A. His plan to set a new world record. B. His daughter’s idea to celebrate his 100th birthday. C. His need for more physical exercise after his operation. D. His wish to express thanks for the medical care he received. 6. What does Hannah mean by saying the target was “a stretch”? A. The goal was overly ambitious. B. They should increase the target. C. Her father needed to stretch more. D. The money had already been raised. 7. What of the following is the best title for the text? A. 100 Laps: A Birthday Challenge for Veterans. B. NHS Receives Millions from Generous Donors. C. WWII Veteran’s Recovery Inspires Medical Research. D. 99-Year-Old’s Walking Fundraiser Brings in Millions. C The traditional image of the explorer, as taught in schools, is that of a brave individual sailing into the unknown or exploring deep jungles. Modern discovery, however, is mainly advanced by scientists. The nature of their work presents challenges that are fully comparable to the most celebrated quests from our past and our literary imagination. Exploration is science in its most basic form — asking questions of the natural world and using the answers for the betterment of everything on Earth. It has great value and the practical payoffs can be plenty. Scientists who spent decades exploring what was in the atmosphere found that over time the concentration of carbon dioxide was rising. Without that discovery, we humans would now be living like the frog in a pot of gradually heating water, unsure why the environment around us is changing, and slowly boiling to death. The human drive to overcome challenges is an essential aspect of the human drive to explore. As Robert Ballard, who discovered the sunken RMS Titanic in 1985, told us recently: “The ocean is an awe-inspiring place. I was almost killed several times. But the human spirit is indestructible.” Ballard turned 80 in June and in May spent two weeks on an expedition in the Pacific Ocean. And that drive to take on challenges often inspires the courageous, and the new inventions keep coming. Early human submarines (潜水艇) that reached the bottom of the deepest ocean trenches (沟) made the trip just once, stressed by the enormous pressures there. But eventually a more stress-resistant deep-diving vehicle, the Limiting Factor, allowed investor and undersea explorer Victor Vescovo to reach trench bottoms numerous times. Many commercial projects are involved in exploration. Maybe one day you’ll put on your virtual-reality glasses, connect with an online adventure company and rent a video-equipped remote vehicle that explorers the Great Barrier Reef from above for several hours at your direction. Captain James T. Kirk began each episode of the original Star Trek television series by saying, “Space, the final frontier.” Not necessarily. We still have plenty to discover right here on Earth, and we eagerly await surprises from the newest worlds we find. 8. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph? A.

D The night sky is one of few things humanity has been able to rely on throughout the course of our history. But year by year, it is becoming harder to count on due to light pollution. Light pollution comes in many forms and most profound for our species, and for others, is what’s known as skyglow: the phenomenon by which the night sky itself grows brighter than its natural state. Unsurprisingly, it is worst over cities, where streetlamps and even office buildings stay shining brightly even after most residents have closed the blinds and gone to bed, making most people in cities only make out a handful or none of stars at night. Yet degraded views of the Milky Way are the least of the troubles light pollution causes our species and other species. Astronomers find themselves discouraged: They’re having trouble finding areas dark enough for their observatories. And when they do find them, rapidly increasing satellites can, effectively, photobomb their exposures by reflecting the light of the sun long after it has set. Bothered, too, are migratory birds trusting the light in the environment to tell them where to go and when to go there. Sometimes, they’re drawn away from their routes to cities and crash into windows because of tiredness. And all humans experience the harms of disturbance to our circadian rhythms (昼夜节律) -which happens when we’re exposed to blue light during the night instead of the day. Ever-brighter night skies might not feel like a crisis way down here. But a landmark survey discovered that the sky became 10 percent brighter per year over the past 10 or so years. That means a child growing from a baby to a young adult is likely, by the time they are ready to head off to college, to see two or three times fewer stars every night than they could as a child. The sharp rise in satellites flying through low Earth orbit, not to mention the debris (碎片) caused by their frequent collisions (碰撞), only worsens the problem. The good news is that humanity’s mistakes today leave much room for improvement. That starts with the satellites: Limiting debris, already urgent, will limit light pollution, too. Companies are also already experimenting, at the National Science Foundation’s request, with adding shades, coatings and more to satellites so that they become one with space rather than shine out against it. 12. According to the text, what is a most significant form of light pollution? A. Intense light from vehicles. B. Satellite-reflected sunlight. C. Unwanted light entering homes. D. Artificial brightening of the night sky. 13. Which of the following may be a challenge for astronomers? A. Migratory birds blocking telescopes. B. Too much blue light from office buildings. C. Shortage of instruments in observation sites. D. Satellites ruining images with reflected sunlight. 14. Why does the author mention a child’s experience in paragraph 4? A. To explain satellite collision mechanisms. B. To criticize educational failures in astronomy. C. To illustrate the impact of increasing sky brightness. D. To highlight generational differences in star observation. 15. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Prospects of space technology. B. Measures against light pollution. C. Humanity’s potential to correct errors. D. Scientific institutions’ role in innovation. 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。 The roll-out of 5G technology is set to transform not only the way we live but also the modes of work, promising innovative changes across societies. ____16____ It enables smooth 4K/8K video streaming, instant downloads of large files, and better online gaming experiences that redefine digital entertainment.

He required students to present their self-created works one by one, with scores given by Mr. Evan to determine the best! For weeks, everyone in class was working on their poems. You could hear people whispering lines, crossing out words, and starting over. Everyone was trying to write something real. Well, everyone except Maya. Maya didn’t get poetry. She liked things that made sense - like math problems or programming. You followed the steps, and you got an answer. But poetry? It was all feelings and unclear ideas. It made no sense. The night before the competition, Maya’s paper was still blank. Panic set in. In a moment of weakness, she went to a fancy AI writer. She typed in a few commands. In seconds, a perfect poem appeared on her screen. It used beautiful words. It was a million times better than anything she could write. Her stomach ached with guilt, but she copied it, put her name on top, and hit “print.” The next day in class, kids took turns sharing their work. Some voices shook. Some poems were a little awkward, but they felt honest. When Maya read her AI poem, her voice was shaky too-but for a different reason. Her poem sounded like it belonged in a fancy book. When she finished, the room was quiet for a second, then everyone clapped. They were impressed. But Mr. Evans didn’t clap. He just looked at her with a quiet, knowing look. After class, he asked her to stay. Her heart was pounding. Was she in trouble? He held up her poem. “You know, Maya,” he said, not angry, just thoughtful. “This poem is… perfect. The words are all in the right place. But it doesn’t sound like you.” He pointed to a line. “A real person would have tripped up here. They would have used a simpler word, maybe. That’s where the real stuff is. This… this feels like a perfect robot.” 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。 Hearing Mr. Evans’ words, Maya’s face went hot. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Determined to create a work of her own, Maya returned to her desk. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
