On that day, at only nine years old, Chris made the most important decision of his life: He was going to be an astronaut. There wasn’t even a training program in Canada to become an astronaut; but Chris was determined. He spent a great deal of time studying and fixing engines. After school he joined the Canadian army where he learned to fly many different types of planes. Chris did a lot of research for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in the United States and had special training. Finally, in 1995, he rode his first rocket into space. Chris became the first Canadian astronaut to walk in space, and went on a number of space missions throughout his career. The most memorable was his five-month stay on the International Space Station (ISS) as commander, between December 2012 and May 2013. He posted on social media thousands of photos of Earth and videos of himself explaining how things work in zero gravity. His followers could watch him sleeping, brushing his teeth, washing his hands, or preparing “space” snacks in zero gravity, which turned him into a social media phenomenon. Today, Chris travels the world giving talks about his work. He once said, “Decide in your heart of hearts what really excites and challenges you, and start moving your life in that direction. Every decision you make, from what you eat to what you do with your time tonight, turns you into who you are tomorrow. Look at who you want to be, and start sculpting yourself into that person. You may not get exactly where you thought you’d be, but you will be doing things that suit you in a profession you believe in. Don’t let life randomly kick you into the adult you don’t want to become.” 4. What led Chris to make up his mind to be an astronaut? A. The life on his parents’ farm. B. His ability to fly various planes. C. His passion for studying engines. D. Apollo 11’s landing on the Moon. 5. Which of the following was best worth remembering about Chris’ career? A. Serving in the Canadian army. B. Working as commander on the ISS. C. Receiving a lot of training from the NASA. D. Being the first Canadian astronaut to walk in space. 6. What made Chris popular in the media? A. The pictures and videos he posted online. B. The space tasks he conducted in his life. C. His strong determination to pursue his dream. D. His great contributions to Canada’s space industry. 7. What can we learn from Chris’ words in the last paragraph? A. Opportunities go hand in hand with challenges. B. The secret of success lies in the firm aim. C. From small beginnings come great endings. D. Courage is what it takes to overcome difficulties. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7.

But have you heard of Google's new camera? It is a small, smart device, called Clips. It comes with a case that has a clip (夹子), but it's not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photographs out of your hands so it can capture moments on its own. This roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera , with a three-hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness, is intended for candid moments, like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smart phone. Onboard the Clips device it uses machine learning algorithms (计算程序)to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. "Once it learns that there's a face you see frequently, it'll try to get nice photos of those faces. " said Juston Payne, the device's product manager. And they also want it to recognize facial expressions, which involved training it to know what happiness looks like. The Google team also trained it to recognize what not to shoot-like when a child's hand is over the camera, or if it is thrown in a dark purse. The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing. Did people think it was strange? Yes, but Payne said nobody need worry about safety. A green light on the front shows that the device is on. Besides, it is not connected to the Internet. "This product is only possible because technology has advanced." Payne said. It was only in the past year that they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size. "Going forward, we're likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps." He added. 8. Which is the most striking feature of Clips? A. It is pretty small and cute. B. It takes photos on its own. C. It has a longer battery life. D. It can be worn on your clothes. 9. Why does the author mention "child" in Para 2? A. To clarify a concept. B. To present a fact C. To explain a feeling. D. To make a comparison. 10. How can one see the photos taken by Clips? A. By connecting Clips to the Internet. B. By learning the machine algorithms. C. By linking Clips with your mobile phone. D By advancing science technology further. 11. What is Payne's attitude towards the application of AI into apps? A. Critical. B. Positive. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了谷歌的新发明——利用人工智能自己拍照的相机。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photographs out of your hands so it can capture moments on its own.”（最有趣的是，它使用人工智能从你的手中抓拍照片，这样它就可以自己捕捉瞬间）可知，Clips最显著的特点是可以自己拍照，故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“is intended for candid moments, like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smart phone.”（这款相机专为抓拍镜头设计，比如当一个孩子做了一些可爱的动作，你可能来不及拿出你的智能手机就会看到）可知，提到小孩就是为了阐明“抓拍”这一概念，故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing.”（查看照片的唯一方法是将相机与手机连接，因为它没有用于查看或编辑的屏幕）可知，将Clips与智能手机相连就可以查看Clips拍摄的照片，故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““This product is only possible because technology has advanced. " Payne said. It was only in the past year that they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size. “Going forward, we're likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps. " He added.”（“这种产品只有在技术进步的情况下才有可能。”佩恩说。直到过去的一年，他们才能够将这项技术压缩到这种尺寸的设备中。”今后，我们可能会从我们的应用程序中获得人工智能更多的帮助。”他补充道）可知，在佩恩看来，将人工智能应用到应用程序中已经有足够强大的技术支撑，并且人们还会从人工智能中获益，因此他对此持积极态度，故选B。 D As data and identity theft becomes more and more common, the market is growing biometric (生物识别) technologies — like fingerprint scans — to keep others out of private e-space present, these technologies are still expensive, though. Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device (装置) that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence (节奏) with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user’s typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people’s identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it’s connected to — regardless of whether someone gets the password right. It also doesn’t require a new type of technology that people aren’t already familiar with. Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently. In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word “touch” four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed, with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic-like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future. 12. Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard? A. To reduce pressure on keys. B. To improve accuracy in typing. C. To replace the password system. D. To cut the cost of e-space protection. 13. What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible? A. Computers are much easier to operate. B. Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast. C. Typing patterns vary from person to person. D. Data security measures are guaranteed. 14. What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard? A. It’ll be environment-friendly. B. It’ll reach consumers soon. C. It’ll be made of plastics. D. It’ll help speed up typing. 15. Where is this text most likely from? A. A personal diary. B. A travel guidebook C. A detective novel. D. A science magazine. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一款低成本智能键盘，它能通过识别打字模式确认用户身份，有望很快推向市场。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“As data and identity theft becomes more and more common, the market is growing biometric (生物测量) technologies — like fingerprint scans — to keep others out of private e-space present, these technologies are still expensive, though. (随着数据和身份盗窃变得越来越普遍，市场正在发展生物识别技术，如指纹扫描，以防止其他人进入私人电子空间。尽管如此，这些技术仍然很昂贵)”以及第二段“Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. (佐治亚理工学院的研究人员表示，他们研发出了一种低成本装置来解决这个问题：智能键盘)”可知，研究人员开发智能键盘是为了降低电子空间保护的成本。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people’s identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it’s connected to — regardless of whether someone gets the password right. (这些模式对每个人来说都是独一无二的。因此，键盘可以确定人们的身份，进而决定他们是否应该被授予访问其连接的计算机的权限——无论有人是否正确输入了密码)”可知，打字模式因人而异使得智能键盘的发明成为可能。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic-like parts. (研究人员表示，键盘应该很容易商业化，而且主要由廉价的塑料部件制成)”可知，研究人员期望智能键盘很快能面向消费者。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. (佐治亚理工学院的研究人员表示，他们研发出了一种低成本装置来解决这个问题：智能键盘)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍一款具有生物识别功能的新型智能键盘，属于科技发明类内容，个人日记、旅游指南和侦探小说均不符合这类内容的载体属性，科学杂志则适合刊登此类说明文。故选D项。 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。 Do you remember the last time you read a book, or a magazine?

Now, select one of the composers listed on the chalkboard. And after class, find a tape containing the composition created by the composer. During the test, use the tape player to play the composition. When the music starts, imagine you are the conductor of an orchestra that performs the composer’s music.” And then she smiled, “You’ll receive the test in front of your classmates.” “What? A test in front of the classmates? It will kill me,” I said to myself. Although normally I performed well in music, and often have high marks, I am quite a shy girl. After a short while, I took a deep breath and scanned the list of names on the chalkboard. One name caught my attention. “Who’s that person?” I wondered. I didn’t know, but that was going to be my choice. Seated in the classroom, I fixed my eyes on that name anxiously, hoping no one would announce that name. Finally, it was my turn. I said without a second thought, “Johannes Brahms.” once I said the name, panic washed over me. I sighed, “How am I going to do this? I know nothing about the person and his composition. But I have to perform in front of my classmates and teacher.” Later in the day, I went to a store and bought a tape that contained Johannes Brahms’s compositions and its relevant music notation (乐谱). Back home, played the tape, and tried to get familiar with the composition. When listening to the composition and looking at the music score, I held a stick and moved my arms to and fro (来回地), pretending to be guiding an orchestra. During the following days, I kept practicing but didn’t perform quite well. The composition was indeed hard to me. When the big day came, I felt nervous as I slipped into my seat and waited for my turn to perform. Eventually, Mrs. Palin called my name, “Jill, it’s your turn.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Then, I forced myself to walk to the front of the classroom. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next day, Mrs. Palin handed each student a piece of paper with a score. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Then, I forced myself to walk to the front of the classroom. Standing in front of all the students made me very nervous, and my legs kept shaking. To make the matter worse, my brain went blank at that very moment, forgeting my previous practice. However, I tried to remind myself to be calm. After a few deep breaths, I felt much better and began to perform. Thinking my conduct must be terrible, I was even unwilling to think about the result. The next day, Mrs. Palin handed each student a piece of paper with a score. With my report card in hand, my heart pounded because I was afraid that I would be the one who got the lowest score. I closed my eyes and slowly opened my report card. To my surprise, I got a high score. When the teacher announced that I was the best in my class, I almost jumped with joy. I understood that only by working hard, can we get good results. 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇读后续写。文章以人物为线索展开，讲述作者的老师Palin女士打算给学生们做一次特殊的测试——每人选一个作家的曲子，用录音带播放，然后到教室前面指挥。作者选了一个不太熟悉的音乐家，因为天生害羞，所以他勤加练习。但测试那天，他依然非常紧张。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①根据段首句子“然后，我强迫自己走到教室前面”可知，接下来可以描写作者的紧张情绪，以及他如何克服。 ②根据段首句子“第二天，Plain女士发给每个学生一个成绩单”可知，接下来可以描写作者看到自己成绩的反应，以及感悟。 2. 续写线索：走到教室前面——紧张——克服紧张——完成表演——老师发成绩单——小心查看——表演是班上最好——感悟 3. 词类激活 动作类 ①颤抖：shake/tremble ②开始：begin/start ③获得：get/ gain 情绪类 ①紧张的：nervous/ tense ②惊讶：surprise/ astonishment ③快乐：joy/ pleasure 【点睛】[高分句型1] Thinking my conduct must be terrible, I was even unwilling to think about the result.（运用了现在分词作状语。） [高分句型2] With my report card in hand, my heart pounded because I was afraid that I would be the one who got the lowest score.（运用了because引导原因状语从句，that引导宾语从句，以及who引导定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 石家庄市第二十四中学 2025—2026学年度第一学期12月月考高二英语试题 本试卷有四部分组成。其中第一、二部分和第三部分的第一节为选择题。第三部分的第二部分和第四部分为非选择题。 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.选出每小题的答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应的题目答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。不能答在试卷上，否则无效。 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） 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。每段对话读两遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

On that day, at only nine years old, Chris made the most important decision of his life: He was going to be an astronaut. There wasn’t even a training program in Canada to become an astronaut; but Chris was determined. He spent a great deal of time studying and fixing engines. After school he joined the Canadian army where he learned to fly many different types of planes. Chris did a lot of research for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in the United States and had special training. Finally in 1995, he rode his first rocket into space. Chris became the first Canadian astronaut to walk in space, and went on a number of space missions throughout his career. The most memorable was his five-month stay on the International Space Station (ISS) as commander, between December 2012 and May 2013. He posted on social media thousands of photos of Earth and videos of himself explaining how things work in zero gravity. His followers could watch him sleeping, brushing his teeth, washing his hands, or preparing “space” snacks in zero gravity, which turned him into a social media phenomenon. Today, Chris travels the world giving talks about his work. He once said, “Decide in your heart of hearts what really excites and challenges you, and start moving your life in that direction. Every decision you make, from what you eat to what you do with your time tonight, turns you into who you are tomorrow. Look at who you want to be, and start sculpting yourself into that person. You may not get exactly where you thought you’d be, but you will be doing things that suit you in a profession you believe in. Don’t let life randomly kick you into the adult you don’t want to become.” 4. What led Chris to make up his mind to be an astronaut? A. The life on his parents’ farm. B. His ability to fly various planes. C. His passion for studying engines. D. Apollo 11’s landing on the Moon. 5. Which of the following was best worth remembering about Chris’ career? A. Serving in the Canadian army. B. Working as commander on the ISS. C. Receiving a lot of training from the NASA. D. Being the first Canadian astronaut to walk in space. 6. What made Chris popular in the media? A. The pictures and videos he posted online. B. The space tasks he conducted in his life. C. His strong determination to pursue his dream. D. His great contributions to Canada’s space industry. 7. What can we learn from Chris’ words in the last paragraph? A. Opportunities go hand in hand with challenges. B. The secret of success lies in the firm aim. C. From small beginnings come great endings. D. Courage is what it takes to overcome difficulties. C We all know cameras. But have you heard of Google's new camera? It is a small, smart device, called Clips. It comes with a case that has a clip (夹子), but it's not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photographs out of your hands so it can capture moments on its own. This roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera , with a three-hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness, is intended for candid moments, like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smart phone. Onboard the Clips device, it uses machine learning algorithms (计算程序)to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. "Once it learns that there's a face you see frequently, it'll try to get nice photos of those faces. " said Juston Payne, the device's product manager. And they also want it to recognize facial expressions, which involved training it to know what happiness looks like. The Google team also trained it to recognize what not to shoot-like when a child's hand is over the camera, or if it is thrown in a dark purse. The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing. Did people think it was strange? Yes, but Payne said nobody need worry about safety. A green light on the front shows that the device is on. Besides, it is not connected to the Internet. "This product is only possible because technology has advanced." Payne said. It was only in the past year that they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size. "Going forward, we're likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps." He added. 8. Which is the most striking feature of Clips? A. It is pretty small and cute. B. It takes photos on its own. C. It has a longer battery life. D. It can be worn on your clothes. 9. Why does the author mention "child" in Para 2? A To clarify a concept. B. To present a fact C. To explain a feeling. D. To make a comparison. 10. How can one see the photos taken by Clips? A. By connecting Clips to the Internet. B. By learning the machine algorithms. C By linking Clips with your mobile phone. D. By advancing science technology further. 11. What is Payne's attitude towards the application of AI into apps? A. Critical. B. Positive. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful. D As data and identity theft becomes more and more common, the market is growing biometric (生物识别) technologies — like fingerprint scans — to keep others out of private e-space present, these technologies are still expensive, though. Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device (装置) that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence (节奏) with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user’s typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people’s identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it’s connected to — regardless of whether someone gets the password right. It also doesn’t require a new type of technology that people aren’t already familiar with. Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently. In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word “touch” four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed, with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic-like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future. 12. Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard? A. To reduce pressure on keys. B. To improve accuracy in typing. C. To replace the password system. D. To cut the cost of e-space protection. 13. What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible? A. Computers are much easier to operate. B. Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast. C. Typing patterns vary from person to person. D. Data security measures are guaranteed. 14. What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard? A. It’ll be environment-friendly. B. It’ll reach consumers soon. C. It’ll be made of plastics. D. It’ll help speed up typing. 15. Where is this text most likely from? A. A personal diary. B.

Now, select one of the composers listed on the chalkboard. And after class, find a tape containing the composition created by the composer. During the test, use the tape player to play the composition. When the music starts, imagine you are the conductor of an orchestra that performs the composer’s music.” And then she smiled, “You’ll receive the test in front of your classmates.” “What? A test in front of the classmates? It will kill me,” I said to myself. Although normally I performed well in music, and often have high marks, I am quite a shy girl. After a short while, I took a deep breath and scanned the list of names on the chalkboard. One name caught my attention. “Who’s that person?” I wondered. I didn’t know, but that was going to be my choice. Seated in the classroom, I fixed my eyes on that name anxiously, hoping no one would announce that name. Finally, it was my turn. I said without a second thought, “Johannes Brahms.” once I said the name, panic washed over me. I sighed, “How am I going to do this? I know nothing about the person and his composition. But I have to perform in front of my classmates and teacher.” Later in the day, I went to a store and bought a tape that contained Johannes Brahms’s compositions and its relevant music notation (乐谱). Back home, played the tape, and tried to get familiar with the composition. When listening to the composition and looking at the music score, I held a stick and moved my arms to and fro (来回地), pretending to be guiding an orchestra. During the following days, I kept practicing but didn’t perform quite well. The composition was indeed hard to me. When the big day came, I felt nervous as I slipped into my seat and waited for my turn to perform. Eventually, Mrs. Palin called my name, “Jill, it’s your turn.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Then, I forced myself to walk to the front of the classroom. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next day, Mrs. Palin handed each student a piece of paper with a score. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
