Now moved to early spring rather than September, this excellent show in the UK photography calendar will feature more than 250 exhibiting brands including top camera, lens (镜头) and accessory makers, and an impressive line-up of speakers and seminar (研讨会) leaders. Needless to say, AP will have a stand (K207) at this year’s show, featuring a gallery of AP Awards 2024 winners and vivid images from experienced music photographer Jill Furmanovsky. Visiting our stand is also a great opportunity to meet the AP team. Book online at photographyshow. com/welcome/get-tickets—you can get 20% off a standard entry ticket using the code AMPHOTPS24. ● All change for The Photography Show Next year’s Photography & Video Show is taking place at the ExCeL in east London rather than the Birmingham NEC. However, the show will be returning to the NEC in 2026, with the plan being to take turns between the two places every two years. Johnny Sullens, representing the show organizer Future, mentioned the changing needs of exhibitors as the reason for the move, along with the opportunity to attract new audiences. “This strategy helps us attract new visitors from London and the South East—areas which are usually hard to attract to the NEC, while still keeping our influence in the Midlands and Northern regions.” The opening of the Elizabeth Line (the name of a subway) means visitors from central London could get to the show in 15 minutes (30 minutes from Heathrow airport) and it is another attraction of the new venue. The Photography and Video Show will take place from 8-11 March in 2025. See www.photographyshow.com 1. What can be expected when visiting the AP stand at the show? A. Visiting a gallery of Jill Furmanovsky. B. Having the chance to meet the AP team. C. Attending seminars led by top camera and lens makers. D. Receiving discounted entry tickets in any case. 2. What changes will the photography show have in 2025? A. It will be held in a different show place. B. It will attract new visitors from other countries. C. It will take place from 8-11 September. D. Visitors will get to the show in 15 minutes. 3. Where can the text probably be found? A. A shopping brochure. B. A course plan. C An art magazine. D. A science report. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了摄影与视频展的相关信息，包括展览的时间、地点、亮点、购票优惠以及2025年展览地点的变化等内容。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The Photography Show returns — save money on tickets”部分第三段中的“Visiting our stand is also a great opportunity to meet the AP team.(参观我们的展位也是与AP团队会面的绝佳机会。)”可知，参观展会的AP展位时，有机会见到AP团队。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“All change for The Photography Show”部分第一段中的“Next year’s Photography & Video Show is taking place at the ExCeL in east London rather than the Birmingham NEC.(明年的摄影与视频展将在伦敦东部的ExCeL举行，而不是伯明翰的国家展览中心。)”以及这部分第三段“The Photography and Video Show will take place from 8 - 11 March in 2025.(2025年3月8日至11日将举行摄影与视频展。)”可知，2025年摄影展将在不同的展览场地举行。故选A项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一个标题“The Photography Show returns — save money on tickets(摄影展重磅回归——购票立享优惠)”以及“All change for The Photography Show(摄影展全面更新)”可知，文章主要围绕摄影展展开，摄影属于艺术范畴，所以这篇文章可能出自一本艺术杂志。故选C项。 B “You need to use your imagination,” says Otto Saumarez Smith, an architectural historian. The Oasis swimming pool and leisure centre in Swindon closed in 2020 and is now drawing graffiti (涂鸦) taggers and weeds. But when it opened, in 1976, it was a steamy tropical paradise with trees and slides under a bravura (精湛技艺) 45m-wide glazed dome. In 2021 the Oasis became the first leisure centre to be protected by Historic England, which noted the odd fact that a rock band from Manchester, more than 200km north, is named after it. A second 1970s leisure centre, in Bradford, was protected last year. The Twentieth Century Society, an architectural heritage charity, is campaigning to save ten other structures, including the dome in Britain’s first Center Parcs resort. The society hopes to repeat the success of its earlier campaign to save open-air swimming pools, known as lidos (公共露天游泳池). While both types of structures revolve around water, their philosophies diverged sharply. Lidos, often unheated and functionally designed, championed discipline and exercise. In contrast, the indoor leisure centres built from the 1970s to 1980s were conceived as spaces of leisure and family fun, offering a warm, playful escape. Yet as Britons began flocking to the actual Mediterranean for holidays, the allure of these domestic substitutes started to fade. A combination of shifting leisure habits, prolonged austerity (拮据), and the final blow dealt by the COVID-19 pandemic led to the decline and closure of many such centres. They are tricky buildings, admits Mr Saumarez Smith. In environmentally conscious times it is harder to justify heating a giant glazed bubble. Whereas only the roof of the leisure centre in Bradford is protected, in Swindon the pool is too, so it could probably only be used as its architects intended. Neil Robinson, who led the campaign to protect the Oasis, dearly hopes it will reopen. 4. What was the Oasis swimming pool like in 1976? A. It remains popular for its large dome. B. It was designed with a tropical environment. C. It became overgrown and graffiti-covered. D. It won protection for its unique architecture. 5. What led to the downfall of these centres? A. High costs and functional limits. B. Competition from modern facilities. C. Insufficient preservation and public interest. D. New holiday trends, financial pressures, and the pandemic. 6. What does the underlined word “allure” in paragraph 4 mean？ A. Structure. B. Function. C. Attraction. D. Cost. 7. What is Otto Saumarez Smith’s attitude towards such leisure centres? A. Practical. B. Critical. C. Optimistic. D. Indifferent. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了英国20世纪70至80年代建造的室内休闲中心，特别是以斯温登的Oasis游泳池和休闲中心为例，介绍了其曾经的辉煌、现状以及面临的挑战。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But when it opened, in 1976, it was a steamy tropical paradise with trees and slides under a bravura 45m-wide glazed dome.(但当它在1976年开放时，它是一个热气腾腾的热带天堂，在一个45米宽的华丽玻璃穹顶下有树木和滑梯。)”可知，1976年的Oasis游泳池被设计成热带环境。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Yet as Britons began flocking to the actual Mediterranean for holidays, the allure of these domestic substitutes started to fade. A combination of shifting leisure habits, prolonged austerity, and the final blow dealt by the COVID-19 pandemic led to the decline and closure of many such centres.(然而，随着英国人开始涌向真正的地中海度假，这些国内替代品的吸引力开始减弱。休闲习惯的改变、长期的拮据以及新冠疫情的最后一击，导致许多这样的中心衰落和关闭。)”可知，新的度假趋势、经济压力和疫情导致了这些中心的衰落。故选D。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据上文“Yet as Britons began flocking to the actual Mediterranean for holidays(然而，当英国人开始涌向真正的地中海度假时)”可知，随着英国人开始去真实的地中海度假，这些国内替代品的吸引力开始消退。由此可知，allure意为“吸引力”，选项C“Attraction(吸引力)”符合题意。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“They are tricky buildings, admits Mr Saumarez Smith. In environmentally conscious times it is harder to justify heating a giant glazed bubble. Whereas only the roof of the leisure centre in Bradford is protected, in Swindon the pool is too, so it could probably only be used as its architects intended.(Saumarez Smith先生承认，这些建筑很棘手。在环保意识增强的时代，很难证明加热一个巨大的玻璃泡泡是合理的。布拉德福德的休闲中心只有屋顶受到保护，而在斯温登，游泳池也受到保护，所以它可能只能按照建筑师的初衷使用。)”可知，Otto Saumarez Smith认为这些建筑很棘手，在环保意识增强的时代，很难证明加热一个巨大的玻璃泡泡是合理的，所以他对这些休闲中心的态度是务实的。故选A。 C The unceasing spread of buildings and roads turns urban areas into heat islands, discomforting residents and worsening dangerous heatwaves, which are in any case likely to become more frequent as the planet warms. A possible answer to the problem of heat is trees. To cool an area effectively, though, trees must be planted in quantity. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin find that American cities need 40% tree coverage to cut urban heat back meaningfully. Unfortunately, not all cities — and especially not those now springing up in the world’s poor and middle-income countries — are blessed with parks, private gardens or even street trees in sufficient numbers. Japanese botanist Miyawaki Akira has developed a way to rapidly grow miniature (微型的) natural forests for urban areas. His insight is to deconstruct and rebuild the process of forest growth, making bare land develop naturally into mature forest. Normally, the first arrival is grass. Shrubs sprout later, followed by small trees and, finally, larger ones. Miyawaki’s method skips some early stages, directly planting the kinds of species found in mature forests. When starting a Miyawaki forest, gardeners first analyse and improve the soil with suitable fertilisers. They then select 100 or so local plant species. Using a wide mix of species, not all of them trees, is important. Trees, shrubs and ground-covering herbs all coexist in natural forests, developing lots of positive ecological relations, where vines rely on trees for support, trees shade shrubs, and roots interact with fungi (真菌) for nutrient exchange, which encourages the plants to grow faster. After selecting species, the gardeners gather seeds and plant them randomly and densely, rather than in rows. The seedlings therefore have to fight for sunlight, so only the fastest-growing survive. The gardeners tend the forest for three years before it is left to mature on its own. A couple of decades later the forest reaches maturity. Dr. Miyawaki has supervised the planting of more than 1,500 miniature forests, starting in Japan and extending to other parts of Asia. India is particularly keen. Miyawaki forests are becoming popular and can be found outside Asia, in Europe and Latin America. 8. What might be a solution to the problem of urban heat? A. Developing poor cities. B. Establishing substantial tree cover. C. Promoting more eco-friendly parks. D. Adjusting the layout of trees. 9. What is unique about Miyawaki’s method? A. It accelerates forest maturity. B. It starts with large trees. C. It transforms bare land into forests. D. It introduces all plant species. 10. What can we learn from the process of building a Miyawaki forest? A. Soil preparation matters little. B. Biodiversity alone ensures success. C. Dense planting drives natural selection. D. Human intervention is continuous. 11. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To show the negative effects of urban development. B. To describe the specific steps of growing natural forests. C. To introduce an approach to solving urban heat islands. D. To encourage urban planners to plant a variety of trees. 【答案】8 B 9. A 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了Miyawaki方法解决城市热岛问题的途径。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A possible answer to the problem of heat is trees. To cool an area effectively, though, trees must be planted in quantity. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin find that American cities need 40% tree coverage to cut urban heat back meaningfully. (解决高温问题的一个可行办法是植树。然而，要有效为区域降温，必须大量种植树木。威斯康星大学的研究人员发现，美国城市需要达到40%的树木覆盖率，才能显著缓解城市高温问题)”可知，解决城市热岛问题的关键在于种植大量树木，形成足够的树木覆盖率。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“His insight is to deconstruct and rebuild the process of forest growth, making bare land develop naturally into mature forest. Normally, the first arrival is grass. Shrubs sprout later, followed by small trees and, finally, larger ones. Miyawaki’s method skips some early stages, directly planting the kinds of species found in mature forests. (他的见解在于解构并重建森林生长的过程，使裸地自然演变成成熟森林。通常，最先到来的是草类，随后灌木发芽，接着是小树，最后才是大型树木。Miyawaki的方法跳过了某些早期阶段，直接种植在成熟森林中发现的各类树种)”可知，Miyawaki的方法独特之处在于它跳过自然森林生长的早期阶段，从而加速森林的成熟过程。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“After selecting species, the gardeners gather seeds and plant them randomly and densely, rather than in rows. The seedlings therefore have to fight for sunlight, so only the fastest-growing survive. (选择物种后，园丁们会收集种子并进行随机密植，而非成行栽种。因此，幼苗必须争夺阳光，最终只有生长最快的才能存活下来)”可知，密集种植使幼苗竞争阳光，从而自然筛选出生长最快的植株，这体现了“密集种植推动自然选择”。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章开篇指出城市热岛效应的问题，随后重点介绍Miyawaki的方法通过快速构建微型森林来缓解城市热岛效应，包括其原理、步骤及应用情况。由此推断文章的主要目的是介绍一种解决城市热岛问题的方法。故选C。 D Artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT and Midjourney have become well known for creating text and visuals according to our direct commands. Next up: reconstructing our thoughts. In a study published in May 2023 in Nature Neuroscience a team of researchers from the University of Texas at Austin showed that an AI decoder (解码器) could translate the words people heard while listening to podcasts (播客) and the images people saw while watching silent movies. Matching specific patterns of brain activity to specific phrases, the AI was trained on three people as they consumed 16 hours of storytelling. From that learning, the technology could decode the thoughts of someone “imagining a story in their head,” says neuroscientist and senior study author Alexander Huth, though its accuracy was greatly reduced for individuals who were not involved in its training. According to the team, the AI could one day be used to assist stroke patients and others who have lost the ability to speak, by decoding their brain activity into words. And the team’s decoder isn’t alone in its mind-reading applications. In March, researchers from Osaka University reported that they’d developed a similar model, Stable Diffusion, that reconstructs images from fMRI (Functional magnetic resonance imaging) scans. If it feels invasive (侵入的), researchers stress that it’s unlikely AI will be able to read your minds without your consent anytime soon. “The current technology is still very far removed from a general-purpose (通用的) mind-reading device,” says Iris Groen, a neuroscientist at the Informatics Institute at the University of Amsterdam. Both approaches require participants to spend hours in fMRI scanners, and the University of Texas AI can make mistakes, sending out gibberish if a person thinks unrelated thoughts. And researchers are still prioritizing the privacy of our internal imaginings, given the pace of AI’s progress. “The brain contains extremely sensitive personal information,” says Yu Takagi, a neuroscientist involved in the Stable Diffusion project. “It should not be subjected to any form of analysis without informed consent.” 12. What can we learn about an AI decoder from the text? A. It can create images of films. B. It can read mind to some extent. C. It can train people for storytelling. D. It can decode the imagination of anyone. 13. What does the word “consent” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Suggestion. B. Participation. C. Application. D. Permission. 14. According to the text, which of the following is true about current AI technology in mind-reading? A. It’s used as a universal mind-reading device. B. It remains in an immature stage. C. It can accurately read people’s thoughts. D. It can be used to regulate people’s thoughts. 15. What should be taken into consideration according to Yu Takagi? A. We should keep up with the pace of AI’s development. B. We should respect people’s privacy when doing research. C. We should avoid making mistakes when doing analyses. D. We should prioritize progress rather than personal feelings. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了AI解码器能在一定程度上读取人类思维，当前AI读心技术尚不成熟以及研究人员对隐私保护的重视等内容。 【12题详解】 细节理解题​。根据第二段“Matching specific patterns of brain activity to specific phrases, the AI was trained on three people as they consumed 16 hours of storytelling. From that learning, the technology could decode the thoughts of someone “imagining a story in their head,” says neuroscientist and senior study author Alexander Huth, though its accuracy was greatly reduced for individuals who were not involved in its training.(将特定的大脑活动模式与特定的短语相匹配，该AI在三个人身上进行了16个小时的讲故事训练。神经科学家、资深研究作者Alexander Huth说，通过这种学习，这项技术可以破译某人“在脑海中想象一个故事”的想法，尽管对于没有参与训练的人来说，它的准确性大大降低。)”可知，AI解码器能在一定程度上读取思维。故选B。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“If it feels invasive (侵扰的), researchers stress that it’s unlikely AI will be able to read your mind without your consent anytime soon.(如果感觉有侵犯性，研究人员强调，AI不太可能在未经你 consent 的情况下读取你的思想 )”以及最后一段“It should not be subjected to any form of analysis without informed consent.(未经知情consent，它不应受到任何形式的分析。)”并结合语境可推断，AI不太可能在未经你同意的情况下读取你的思想。consent意为“同意，许可”，与 permission 意思相近。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题​。根据第四段“The current technology is still very far removed from a general - purpose mind-reading device(目前的技术距离通用的读心设备还很远)”以及第五段“Both approaches require participants to spend hours in fMRI scanners, and the University of Texas AI can make mistakes, sending out gibberish if a person thinks unrelated thoughts.(这两种方法都要求参与者在功能磁共振成像扫描仪中花费数小时，而且德克萨斯大学的人工智能可能会出错，如果一个人想到不相关的想法，它就会输出胡言乱语 )”可知，当前AI读心技术还不成熟。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““The brain contains extremely sensitive personal information,” says Yu Takagi, a neuroscientist involved in the Stable Diffusion project. “It should not be subjected to any form of analysis without informed consent.(参与Stable Diffusion项目的神经科学家Yu Takagi说：“大脑包含极其敏感的个人信息。未经知情同意，它不应受到任何形式的分析。”)”可知，Yu Takagi认为做研究时应尊重人们的隐私。故选B。 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。 How to Stay Motivated in Class Do you have those days when you say to yourself, “I don’t need school,” or when you just can’t find the motivation to pay attention in school or get your homework done? ____16____ We’re here to share all the best tips to keep yourself motivated in school so that you can succeed and achieve your goals. ● Set concrete academic goals.

I was the village bad boy because I had no interest in school or studies. Mud on my knees, dirty words on my tongue and a pack of restless troublemakers at my heels, I was the boy mothers warned their sons about. School? A prison. Books? Useless weight. The only lessons I cared about were what the fields taught: how to climb a cashew tree without being hurt, how to tell when the fruit was sweetest, how to outrun the teacher catching me skipping school again. No one thought I would do anything worthwhile with my life. “Why waste time on him?” they’d tease, watching me whistling through the lanes. “He’ll end up back on the farms anyway. Some boys are just weeds, amounting to nothing.” Even the cashew trees seemed to whisper it when the wind blew. It seemed the village had already written my fate. But my mother, uneducated, visualised a different future, refusing to let the world bury me alive. Every time I collapsed onto the bed intending to skip school, she seized my arm and beat me until I got dressed. “You will not rot here!” she shouted, marching me to the classroom door and watching me enter, her shadow like a stubborn cashew tree. This bad boy image troubled me. I didn’t believe I was a bad boy and never wanted to be one. These thoughts lingered in my mind, like mosquitos buzzing around our cashew apples. For years, I had been torn by this contradiction. Then, one evening, as I sat on the farm’s edge watching the sun bleed into the cashew fields, the truth bit harder than any insect: I was becoming exactly what they said—a boy with nothing. No respect. No future. 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。 It hit me that education was my only way out. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I put in some cashew seeds when packing and headed for the university. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 It hit me that education was my only way out. Since then, I said goodbye to my bed to be the early bird every morning in my class and even stayed late at school after everyone left, my fingers marked with pen ink instead of dirt. While my old friends were stealing fruit, I was stealing time to study under the dim light of our oil lamp. I struggled for exams like hell and my grades inched up gradually until the day the university’s admission letter arrived. Clutching the letter, I dashed home excitedly and eagerly told my mom the great news. But as the rush of joy faded, I knew this paper was just the first step toward what awaited me in university life. I put in some cashew seeds when packing and headed for the university. It was an eye-opener: lecture halls humming with debates, library shelves cradling with knowledge. When I mentioned the cashew trees of my hometown during my presentation, the blank yet fascinated expressions drew my thoughts back to the cashew seeds in my backpack, sparking my determination to research on this. Years later, my research received global recognition, but better than that was the proud moment when my mother, that same stubborn figure, held my papers up high to the neighbors. The former “bad boy” finally blossomed — not with mud, but with the seeds of perseverance. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了 “我” 作为村庄里众人眼中的“坏男孩”，对学习毫无兴趣，被大家认定没有未来。但母亲始终坚信“我”能改变命运，在她的坚持下，“我”开始反思自己，最终意识到教育是改变命运的唯一出路，并通过努力获得了上大学的机会，开启新征程的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我突然意识到教育是我唯一的出路。”可知，第一段可描写“我”意识到教育的重要性后，努力学习的过程，包括学习时间的投入、学习状态的转变，以及最终取得的成果——收到大学录取通知书。 ②由第二段首句内容“我在收拾行李去大学的时候放了一些腰果籽。”可知，第二段可描写“我”进入大学后的经历，如见识到丰富的学习资源，在大学的学习和研究过程中，家乡的腰果成为研究契机，最后取得研究成果，实现人生转变。 2.续写线索：意识到教育重要性 —— 努力学习 —— 收到录取通知书 —— 进入大学学习 —— 以腰果为研究契机 —— 取得成果实现转变 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①学习：study/learn ②奔跑：dash/rush ③研究：research/investigate 情绪类 ①兴奋：excited/thrilled ②自豪：proud/glorious ③坚定：determination/resolution 【点睛】[高分句型 1] I struggled for exams like hell and my grades inched up gradually until the day the university’s admission letter arrived.

Now moved to early spring rather than September, this excellent show in the UK photography calendar will feature more than 250 exhibiting brands including top camera, lens (镜头) and accessory makers, and an impressive line-up of speakers and seminar (研讨会) leaders. Needless to say, AP will have a stand (K207) at this year’s show, featuring a gallery of AP Awards 2024 winners and vivid images from experienced music photographer Jill Furmanovsky. Visiting our stand is also a great opportunity to meet the AP team. Book online at photographyshow. com/welcome/get-tickets—you can get 20% off a standard entry ticket using the code AMPHOTPS24. ● All change for The Photography Show Next year’s Photography & Video Show is taking place at the ExCeL in east London rather than the Birmingham NEC. However, the show will be returning to the NEC in 2026, with the plan being to take turns between the two places every two years. Johnny Sullens, representing the show organizer Future, mentioned the changing needs of exhibitors as the reason for the move, along with the opportunity to attract new audiences. “This strategy helps us attract new visitors from London and the South East—areas which are usually hard to attract to the NEC, while still keeping our influence in the Midlands and Northern regions.” The opening of the Elizabeth Line (the name of a subway) means visitors from central London could get to the show in 15 minutes (30 minutes from Heathrow airport) and it is another attraction of the new venue. The Photography and Video Show will take place from 8-11 March in 2025. See www.photographyshow.com 1. What can be expected when visiting the AP stand at the show? A. Visiting a gallery of Jill Furmanovsky. B. Having the chance to meet the AP team. C. Attending seminars led by top camera and lens makers. D. Receiving discounted entry tickets in any case. 2. What changes will the photography show have in 2025? A. It will be held in a different show place. B. It will attract new visitors from other countries. C. It will take place from 8-11 September. D. Visitors will get to the show in 15 minutes. 3. Where can the text probably be found? A. A shopping brochure. B. A course plan. C. An art magazine. D. A science report. B “You need to use your imagination,” says Otto Saumarez Smith, an architectural historian. The Oasis swimming pool and leisure centre in Swindon closed in 2020 and is now drawing graffiti (涂鸦) taggers and weeds. But when it opened, in 1976, it was a steamy tropical paradise with trees and slides under a bravura (精湛技艺) 45m-wide glazed dome. In 2021 the Oasis became the first leisure centre to be protected by Historic England which noted the odd fact that a rock band from Manchester, more than 200km north, is named after it. A second 1970s leisure centre, in Bradford, was protected last year. The Twentieth Century Society, an architectural heritage charity, is campaigning to save ten other structures, including the dome in Britain’s first Center Parcs resort. The society hopes to repeat the success of its earlier campaign to save open-air swimming pools, known as lidos (公共露天游泳池). While both types of structures revolve around water, their philosophies diverged sharply. Lidos, often unheated and functionally designed, championed discipline and exercise. In contrast, the indoor leisure centres built from the 1970s to 1980s were conceived as spaces of leisure and family fun, offering a warm, playful escape. Yet as Britons began flocking to the actual Mediterranean for holidays, the allure of these domestic substitutes started to fade. A combination of shifting leisure habits, prolonged austerity (拮据), and the final blow dealt by the COVID-19 pandemic led to the decline and closure of many such centres. They are tricky buildings, admits Mr Saumarez Smith. In environmentally conscious times it is harder to justify heating a giant glazed bubble. Whereas only the roof of the leisure centre in Bradford is protected, in Swindon the pool is too, so it could probably only be used as its architects intended. Neil Robinson, who led the campaign to protect the Oasis, dearly hopes it will reopen. 4. What was the Oasis swimming pool like in 1976? A. It remains popular for its large dome. B. It was designed with a tropical environment. C. It became overgrown and graffiti-covered. D. It won protection for its unique architecture. 5. What led to the downfall of these centres? A. High costs and functional limits. B. Competition from modern facilities. C. Insufficient preservation and public interest. D. New holiday trends, financial pressures, and the pandemic. 6. What does the underlined word “allure” in paragraph 4 mean？ A. Structure. B. Function. C. Attraction. D. Cost. 7. What is Otto Saumarez Smith’s attitude towards such leisure centres? A. Practical. B. Critical. C. Optimistic. D. Indifferent. C The unceasing spread of buildings and roads turns urban areas into heat islands, discomforting residents and worsening dangerous heatwaves, which are in any case likely to become more frequent as the planet warms. A possible answer to the problem of heat is trees. To cool an area effectively, though, trees must be planted in quantity. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin find that American cities need 40% tree coverage to cut urban heat back meaningfully. Unfortunately, not all cities — and especially not those now springing up in the world’s poor and middle-income countries — are blessed with parks, private gardens or even street trees in sufficient numbers. Japanese botanist Miyawaki Akira has developed a way to rapidly grow miniature (微型的) natural forests for urban areas. His insight is to deconstruct and rebuild the process of forest growth, making bare land develop naturally into mature forest. Normally, the first arrival is grass. Shrubs sprout later, followed by small trees and, finally, larger ones. Miyawaki’s method skips some early stages, directly planting the kinds of species found in mature forests. When starting a Miyawaki forest, gardeners first analyse and improve the soil with suitable fertilisers. They then select 100 or so local plant species. Using a wide mix of species, not all of them trees, is important. Trees, shrubs and ground-covering herbs all coexist in natural forests, developing lots of positive ecological relations, where vines rely on trees for support, trees shade shrubs, and roots interact with fungi (真菌) for nutrient exchange, which encourages the plants to grow faster. After selecting species, the gardeners gather seeds and plant them randomly and densely, rather than in rows. The seedlings therefore have to fight for sunlight, so only the fastest-growing survive. The gardeners tend the forest for three years before it is left to mature on its own. A couple of decades later the forest reaches maturity. Dr. Miyawaki has supervised the planting of more than 1,500 miniature forests, starting in Japan and extending to other parts of Asia. India is particularly keen. Miyawaki forests are becoming popular and can be found outside Asia, in Europe and Latin America. 8. What might be a solution to the problem of urban heat? A. Developing poor cities. B.

In a study published in May 2023 in Nature Neuroscience, a team of researchers from the University of Texas at Austin showed that an AI decoder (解码器) could translate the words people heard while listening to podcasts (播客) and the images people saw while watching silent movies. Matching specific patterns of brain activity to specific phrases, the AI was trained on three people as they consumed 16 hours of storytelling. From that learning, the technology could decode the thoughts of someone “imagining a story in their head,” says neuroscientist and senior study author Alexander Huth, though its accuracy was greatly reduced for individuals who were not involved in its training. According to the team, the AI could one day be used to assist stroke patients and others who have lost the ability to speak, by decoding their brain activity into words. And the team’s decoder isn’t alone in its mind-reading applications. In March, researchers from Osaka University reported that they’d developed a similar model, Stable Diffusion, that reconstructs images from fMRI (Functional magnetic resonance imaging) scans. If it feels invasive (侵入的), researchers stress that it’s unlikely AI will be able to read your minds without your consent anytime soon. “The current technology is still very far removed from a general-purpose (通用的) mind-reading device,” says Iris Groen, a neuroscientist at the Informatics Institute at the University of Amsterdam. Both approaches require participants to spend hours in fMRI scanners, and the University of Texas AI can make mistakes, sending out gibberish if a person thinks unrelated thoughts. And researchers are still prioritizing the privacy of our internal imaginings, given the pace of AI’s progress. “The brain contains extremely sensitive personal information,” says Yu Takagi, a neuroscientist involved in the Stable Diffusion project. “It should not be subjected to any form of analysis without informed consent.” 12. What can we learn about an AI decoder from the text? A. It can create images of films. B. It can read mind to some extent. C. It can train people for storytelling. D. It can decode the imagination of anyone. 13. What does the word “consent” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Suggestion. B. Participation. C. Application. D. Permission. 14. According to the text, which of the following is true about current AI technology in mind-reading? A. It’s used as a universal mind-reading device. B. It remains in an immature stage. C. It can accurately read people’s thoughts. D It can be used to regulate people’s thoughts. 15. What should be taken into consideration according to Yu Takagi? A. We should keep up with the pace of AI’s development. B. We should respect people’s privacy when doing research. C. We should avoid making mistakes when doing analyses. D. We should prioritize progress rather than personal feelings. 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。 How to Stay Motivated in Class Do you have those days when you say to yourself, “I don’t need school,” or when you just can’t find the motivation to pay attention in school or get your homework done? ____16____ We’re here to share all the best tips to keep yourself motivated in school so that you can succeed and achieve your goals. ● Set concrete academic goals.

I was the village bad boy because I had no interest in school or studies. Mud on my knees, dirty words on my tongue and a pack of restless troublemakers at my heels, I was the boy mothers warned their sons about. School? A prison. Books? Useless weight. The only lessons I cared about were what the fields taught: how to climb a cashew tree without being hurt, how to tell when the fruit was sweetest, how to outrun the teacher catching me skipping school again. No one thought I would do anything worthwhile with my life. “Why waste time on him?” they’d tease, watching me whistling through the lanes. “He’ll end up back on the farms anyway. Some boys are just weeds, amounting to nothing.” Even the cashew trees seemed to whisper it when the wind blew. It seemed the village had already written my fate. But my mother, uneducated, visualised a different future, refusing to let the world bury me alive. Every time I collapsed onto the bed intending to skip school, she seized my arm and beat me until I got dressed. “You will not rot here!” she shouted, marching me to the classroom door and watching me enter, her shadow like a stubborn cashew tree. This bad boy image troubled me. I didn’t believe I was a bad boy and never wanted to be one. These thoughts lingered in my mind, like mosquitos buzzing around our cashew apples. For years, I had been torn by this contradiction. Then, one evening, as I sat on the farm’s edge watching the sun bleed into the cashew fields, the truth bit harder than any insect: I was becoming exactly what they said—a boy with nothing. No respect. No future. 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。 It hit me that education was my only way out. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I put in some cashew seeds when packing and headed for the university. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
