Dear Chris, I’m thrilled you’re interested in our school’s first Campus Poetry Festival. Held last Saturday in the school hall, it aimed to let us enjoy poetry and show our creativity. During the festival, students recited classic poems with deep feeling. Some shared their original works, and there was even a poetry-writing competition. Teachers also gave a short talk on how to appreciate poetry. I had a great time! It not only made me love poetry more but also helped me make new friends who share the same interest. Yours, Li Hua 67. After dinner, Li Ming’s father remained upset. He sat alone on the sofa in the living room, flipping through Li Ming’s previous test papers with a frown. Li Ming felt uneasy and walked over cautiously. “Dad, I’m sorry for letting you down,” he said sincerely. “I think I didn’t fully understand some key points during revision.” His father looked up at him, his expression softening a little. “Tell me more about the exam and how you prepared for it,” he said in a calmer tone. The family gathered around the table, and they talked openly. Li Ming explained that he struggled with some difficult knowledge points and failed to manage his time well during the exam. His mother nodded and said, “Let’s sort out your mistake notebook together and make a targeted review plan.” His father added, “I also faced failures when I was young, but what matters is to learn from them.” Inspired by his parents’ support, Li Ming felt relieved and determined. He knew with his family’s help, he could make progress in the next exam. The warm atmosphere filled the room on that cold winter night. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $耒阳一中高二年级上学期第三次文化素质检测 英语试卷 本试卷总分150分，时量120分钟 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。每段对话仅 读一遍。 1.What made a mess on the table?

Help a local food bank Food banks always welcome donations and new volunteers.They provide perfect volunteering opportunities for those who are interested in helping the homeless.Your teen can do anything,from preparing meals to working behind the scenes to repackage donated food items, serving food,and carrying boxes. Help at a soup kitchen A soup kitchen is one of the places where the hungry can get free or cheap meals(usually soup and bread).Most soup kitchens run chiefly on donations and the generosity (of people. As a soup kitchen volunteer,teens may clean the tables and utensils ()help distribute food, cook food,etc. Volunteer for Meals on Wheels By volunteering for Meals on Wheels,your teen will deliver good meals to the elderly or the disabled.It's perfect for teens who have just received their driving license and love any reason to get behind the wheel of a car!They can make a massive impact in a short amount of time. 3 Alternatively,your teen can also volunteer in their kitchen and prepare meals for delivery.With a simple gesture,your teen can bring smiles to people's lives. Work with Habitat for Humanity Habitat for Humanity's task is to build or improve a place that someone could call home. Besides helping the community,your teen will learn valuable skills such as repairing,fundraising, painting,and building.You can sign them up for long-term projects or a one-time program 21.What do a local food bank and a soup kitchen have in common about food? A.The types of food. B.The tastes of food. C.The source of food. D.The prices of food. 22.Who would be the most suitable for Meais on Wheels? A.Lucy who likes singing. B.Jack who can drive a car. C.Linda who enjoys drawing. D.Peter who loves sports. 23.Which would you choose if you want to learn some skills? A.A local food bank. B.A local soup kitchen. C.Habitat for Humanity. D.Meals on Wheels. B There are stress-reduction techniques like yoga,exercise,and walks in nature.Another ancient but much-overlooked technique that can restore a general sense of happiness is the reading and writing of poetry. Poetry reconnects us with the beauty and kindness of the world,while it also points out the difficulties of the world.Rather than dismissing hardships,poetry calls them out and reminds us that others have also lost a loved one,experienced disappointments,lived with depression-they have suffered as we now suffer.Poetry allows us to identify our personal confusions,breaks our feeling of loneliness,and offer our sense of belonging.Poetry leads us toward wisdom and acceptance. Science agrees.The International Arts Mind Lab at Johns Hopkins University offers convincing evidence from studies that poetry is good for our health.A 2021 study at a hospital found that hospitalized children who read or wrote poetry experienced fewer negative emotions such as fear sadness,anger,and worry. 4 Consider The Guest House by Jalal al-Din Rumi,one of the most respected poets today. Written over eight hundred years ago,the poem invites us to view all of life's experiences and the feelings that arise from them as temporary(临时的)visitors in the“guest house'”of self.With patience and pity,Rumi advises us to recognize that even negative moods are precious teachers for our growth. To enter a poem is to escape the noise of the ordinary world.Painful experiences are reframed and given a new understanding by a poem.That's because poetry reflects a rich mix of the sweetness and bitterness that is life.It refreshes our physical minds and offers invented landscapes of imagery.Rumi is apart from us for centuries,yet he speaks to us,across time. For your own heaith and peace of mind,I encourage you to take up a friendship with poetry. 24.What is the function of poetry according to Paragraph 2? A.Poetry brings people wealth. B.Poetry dismisses difficulties in life. C.Poetry enables us to connect emotionally with others. D.Poetry ignores different kinds of sufferings of the world. 25.How does the author organize his idea in Paragraph 3? A.By definition. B.By comparison. C.By classification. D.By example. 26.What did Jalal al-Din Rumi suggest readers do in the Guest House? A.To learn from bad moods. B.To cherish our teachers. C.To view ourselves as guests. D.To take our growth seriously 27.Where is the passage most probably taken from? A.A poetry collection. B.A personal diary. C.A popular magazine. D.A science report. C This is a story about two kinds of intelligence:artificial intelligence and emotional intelligence.How often do we hear these two terms together? But now SoftBank,a Japanese company,is using Al to create a tool known as Soft Voice.This tool adjusts the voices of angry customers so that call center employees can avoid dealing with trouble. The new tool,SoftVoice,will monitor caller's voices in real time,detect if they become abusive and change their tone of voice to make it easier on the employee's ears.SoftBank insists it won't change the words that customers say,but instead will do things like lowering an angry voice to make it less grating. SoftVoice supposedly won't remove 100 percent of the angry tone,so that call center employees will know objectively that a customer is angry.But it will remove enough to remove any sign of abuse.As an added feature,the SoftVoice AI product will also detect if a customer's abuse has gone on too long,and play an automated message that says:"We regret to inform you that we are going to discontinue our service." Now,as much as this is an artificial intelligence development,it's also a great example of using AI to increase emotional intelligence.And that's what this AI product does:remove the expression of other people's unhelpful emotions,making it easier for employees to do their jobs. The possibilities seem endless-and I admit,potentially working. Imagine a future where many people in the saine conversation could use technology like SoftVoice in real time to change each other's emotions-or even their word choice.Or imagine people using AI to change the tone of what they say.The tone sometimes determines the content; would companies be on the hook(担负责任)for an employee'sAI-driven promise to a customer if it slightly changed the meaning?Still,at least it sounds like it's designed to improve people's lives. 28.What does the underlined word"grating"in paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Hurried. B.Pleasant. C.Understandable. D.Annoying. 29.How does SoftVoice work? A.By giving staff advice. B.By recording conversations. C.By changing wrong words automatically. D.By detecting abuse and lessening its effects. 30.What can be inferred from the last paragraph about the use of SoftVoice? A.It will break promises. B.It may cause potential problems later. C.It will mainly be used in call centers. D.It may completely remove customers'anger. 6 31.What is the main idea of the passage? A.Future risks of AI in daily communication. B.An AI tool and the concern it may cause. C.A new type of AI in managing emotions. D.How AI solves problems for angry customers. D Most people typically get between seven to nine hours of sleep each night.Now,studies show some luck灯y people have rare genetic mutations（基因突变）that enable them to feel well-rested after just four hours of sleep.Researchers have identified one of these mutations, called SIK3-N783Y,in a human super-sleeper.The team then studied the mutation in genetically modified mice and found that the mice carrying this mutation also got less sleep. Researchers tested the mutation by giving it to lab mice.They found that mice with the mutation slept around 31minutes less than those without it and 54 minutes less following a period of sleep deprivation(睡眠剥夺).Mice normally sleep for around 1.2 hours per day,which is significantly longer than humans.Therefore,this new mutation-linked sleep reduction of up to 54 minutes is less than observed in human subjects with naturally short sleep patterns.The researchers noted that this could be due to mice usually experiencing more fragmented(碎片化的) sleep than humans. There are a variety of negative effects associated with not getting enough sleep,from feeling tired and being more forgetful to an increased risk of heart problems.Study co-author Dr. Ying-Hui Fu suggests that the bodies of these natural short sleepers might simply be more efficient at the restorative processes that occur during sleep."Our bodies continue to work when we go to bed,detoxifying themselves and repairing damage,"she said,"All these functions our bodies are doing while we are sleeping,these people can perform at a higher level." For the rest of us who need our solid eight hours,understanding the genetics of naturally short sleepers could have important significance.Scientists hope that by investigating these genetic mechanisms,they can develop better treatments for the millions who struggle with sleep disorders."These findings advance our understanding of the genetic basis of sleep and provide further support for potential therapeutic strategies to enhance sleep efficiency,"the team noted. 32.How do people with SIK3-N783Y differ from most people? A.They feel a bit more energetic. B.They require much less sleep. C.They have better sleep quality. D.They fall into.deep sleep faster. 33.What can we infer about SIK3-N783Y from the experiment on mice? A.It has the same effect on humans'sleep as on mice's. B.It makes mice's sleep patterns as continuous as humans'. C.It enables mice to-sleep 4 hours a day like human super-sleepers. D.It reduces mice's sleep more remarkably after sleep deprivation. 34.What does Dr.Ying-Hui Fu intend to state in paragraph 3? A.The outcomes of lacking enough sleep. B.The significance of having longer sleep. C.The reasons for short sleepers'less sleep. D.The challenges of being a super-sleeper. 35.What do scientists hope to achieve with this research? A.Explore solutions to sleep disorders B.Improve humans sleep efficiency. C.Adjust human sleep patterns scientifically. D.Analyze the impact of other genes on sleep. 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Have you ever wondered why it feels so satisfying to sing in the shower?You are alone.You are warm.The air is moist,making your throat feel wet.36.You're at once relaxed and pleasantly energized by the water.Little can take you away from the simple tasks at hand.You control the speed and pitch.And the bathroom provides wonderful resonance Now imagine singing while driving.You are sitting,stuck by a tight seat belt that limits airflow.Without any warm-up,you probably start right in with the first song you hear.The air is drier.And to stay awake,you may be drinking coffee,which can make you thirsty.37. While singing along to the radio,your voice may get lost in the noise of the song and the car. From my personal experience,I realize the importance of not only focusing but also setting the right conditions during practice.38.This is why some argue against baseball players practising hitting before a game.Nervousness in unfamiliar environments may worsen a player's mechanics and lead to a lower batting average during the game itself. 8 39.To warm up,I practise deep breathing exercises and relax my tongue with "blah blah blahs".Brightening my face,helps make my sound more energetic.My voice becomes richer and stronger when I practise opening up my mouth by yawning,imagining the back of my mouth expanding like a frog's.I also adjust the way I stand.40. A.Practice makes perfect. B.You are standing up straight. C.You are loudly clearing your throat. D.Incorrect training may lead to negative outcomes. E.The stress of driving and staying safe keeps you tense. F.To ensure effective practice,I recreate my singing in the shower.

When Chinese people cook food or pick it up,a pair of chopsticks always comes for use. So how did chopsticks come into being?It's said that a leader of ancient China,Dayu,57 helped his people fight floods,invented them.In those days,people 58(eat)only with their hands.But Dayu was busy preparing for flood control work and often had his meals in the wild.In the summer59particular,he hurried to deal with unexpected accidents and didn't want to wait to eat.The meat60 (cook)in the pot was too hot to pick up with his hands.So one day Dayu picked up some twigs (61 (help)himself hold the meat. 10
