2025一2026学年度高二学科素养周测评（十三） 英语·选择性必修三Unit4 (本试卷总分100分，考试时间40分钟。) 第一部分阅读（共两节；满分70分） 第一节（共8小题；每小题5分，满分40分）》 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A team of AI researchers at Microsoft,working with colleagues from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL),has used AI to develop a battery that uses less lithium(锂). Lithium batteries have become the industry standard for electronic devices and electric vehicles and are expected to play a major role in the change to green power.But lithium is expensive,which has led multiple teams across the globe to look for alternatives.In this new effort,the research team looked for ways to reduce the amount of lithium used in batteries. This would normally take a long time because of the detailed approach required.To reduce the workload and the time needed to process millions of alternatives,the researchers turned to Al.Noting that AI applications are good at using massive amounts of data to learn how to do things,the researchers designed one that could study millions of materials that might be added to a lithium battery to replace some amount of the lithium and test the results for factors such as stability and how a battery using a given material would behave. Using this approach,the research team reduced the list of possible alternatives to just a few hundred possibilities.They then turned to materials scientists at PNNL for advice on how to reduce the possibilities even further.The scientists suggested adding more specific screening criteria and more testing rounds.After adopting that advice,the team arrived at a promising alternative and an approach that involved replacing approximately half of the lithium atoms in a battery with sodium (atoms. After using the new approach to build a working battery,the researchers found it had lower conductivity(导电性)than needed-一but they also believe that there is room for improvement.They plan to continue working on the approach and the process they used to find their solution,which they suggest could eventually solve other types of material processing problems. 1.Why did the research team want to develop a battery that uses less lithium? A.To reduce carbon emissions. B.To meet the industry standard. C.To decrease the cost of a battery. D.To generate electricity efficiently. 高二学科素养周测评（十三）英语第1页（共4页） 真题 Strive daily,shine always. asaEssaeEesasesaas 2.What do the underlined words "this approach"in Paragraph 4 refer to? 班级 A.Using AI to find possible materials. B.Adding other materials to a battery. C.Developing an application to collect data. 姓名 D.Replacing lithium in a battery with sodium. 3.How did the research team finally find a promising alternative? A.By asking experts for advice. 得分 B.By seeking funding from PNNL. C.By turning to Microsoft for help. D.By cooperating with other scientists. 4.What is the existing challenge with the new approach? A.It occupies too much room. B.It processes at a lower speed. C.It is less effective than expected. D.It costs too much time and money. 分 With the development of artificial intelligence (Al),it does much for people.But can you imagine the UK government is considering the use of AI in the justice system? Supporters claim it can simplify legal tasks,cut down mistakes,and speed up cases. They suggest AI should help analyze documents,forecast case results using past data, and even assist in drafting legal papers,easing lawyers'workload.Youmna Hashem from the Alan Turing Institute and her team have said that 84%of the UK's one billion yearly- interactions between citizens and the government could be done by Al. However,Vinija Jain and his team evaluated how AI judges ethically ( ambiguous actions,like stealing food due to hunger.Unlike humans,these AI systems lack understanding and sympathy,often finding people guilty in such cases,which could have negative effects on legal situations. Jain remarks that a human judge can announce "This is wrong,but given the current situation,it is forgivable."But it is not something we can realistically envision for an AI judge. To address these concerns,the government is exploring an approach that AI supports rather than replacing human judgment.This would involve tight testing of AI systems before they are applied to legal practices or in courtrooms.Additionally,there is a push for being continuously monitored by legal experts to ensure that AI recommendations are sound and ethically correspond with the principles of justice. The debate over AI in the justice system is ongoing with both sides presenting heated arguments.While the potential benefits of increasing efficiency and consistency are undeniable,the importance of preserving the human element in legal decision-making still cannot be ignored.As the UK government moves forward with its considerations,it will be crucial to strike a balance that takes advantage of the strengths of aI while safeguarding the fairness of the justice system. 密卷 高二学科素养周测评（十三）英语第2页（共4页） WY 5.What is a significant worry about AI in the justice system? A.AI is not open-minded. B.AI is not logical. C.AI is not tender-hearted. D.AI is not intelligent. 6.What does the underlined word "envision"in Paragraph 4 refer to? A.Participate. B.Expect.

C.To employ AI with strict management. D.To protect legal decision-making against AI. 8.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.AI's Role in Legal Systems B.AI's Limitations in Crime and Justice C.The Pros and Cons of AI in Justice system D.Automating Government Services with AI 第二节（共5小题；每小题6分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。 The Impact of AI on Smart Homes Artificial Intelligence (AI)is surely changing the way we live and work,and smart homes are no exception.With AI,smart homes will become even more automated and responsive.9 Personalized Experience Smart homes can learn about the people living in it.With special sensors and AI,the home can see which rooms people are in.Then the home can change things like the temperature,lights and other things in that room to make people comfortable.10 For example,when people enter a room,the lights will automatically turn on. Energy Efficiency Smart homes can save energy and help the environment.With Al,the home can sense when people are not using things like lights.Then the lights will turn off by themselves to conserve power.11 Smart thermostats()and window shades work together to keep the home cool without using much air conditioning. Security and Safety AI has improved home safety a lot.It uses motion sensors and cameras around the home to watch out for things automatically.Security systems with AI can tell if something strange is happening.It will send alarms to owners on their phones.12 Smoke and gas detectors use AI to detect dangers early,which makes homes much safer.
