Rising temperatures might boost crop production in cold regions but negatively impact production in warmer areas. Wheat and rice — which benefit from more CO2 in the atmosphere — could see growing output, while corn and sorghum (高粱) could see a decline with warmer temperatures. Farmers can adjust their practices to a warmer climate in four key ways: Farmers can change WHAT they plant. This could be an entirely different type of crop: corn instead of wheat. Or a different variety of a specific crop. FOUR KEY WAYS Farmers can change WHERE crops are planted. If temperatures rise in fall, crop production can shift north or southwards towards more suitable temperatures. Farmers can change HOW crops are managed. Giving crops the right amount of water, nutrition, and protection from insects and disease can help reduce some impacts of climate change. Farmers can change WHEN they plant. Farmers can plant earlier or later in the year, depending on when spring arrives. Adjusting planting dates requires no additional cost or work. A recent study by experts modeled three adaptation methods — changing WHAT, changing WHEN and changing both of them. The chart below shows their impact on the output of corn, rice, sorghum, soybean (大豆) and wheat. These three adaptation methods can already go some way to relieve climate pressures in some countries. But, of course, we don’t only care about crop production at the global level. If farmers in particular regions — especially those that are most food-insecure cannot adapt to climate change this is still a major problem. So there is more we can do in the future. 1. What should farmers change if they are short of money and labour? A. WHAT. B. WHERE. C. HOW. D. WHEN. 2. Which crop may benefit most if farmers plant improved varieties? A. Rice. B. Corn. C. Sorghum. D. Wheat. 3. What should be done in the future? A. To adopt the three methods. B. To help the farmers in need. C. To focus on crop production. D. To move to colder regions. B I used to believe that only words could catch the essence of the human soul. The literary works contained such distinct stories that they shaped the way we saw the world. Words were what composed the questions we sought to uncover and the answers to those questions themselves. Words were everything. That belief changed. In an ordinary math class, my teacher posed a simple question: What’s 0.99 rounded to the nearest whole number? Easy. When rounded to the nearest whole number, 0.99=1. Somehow, I thought even though 0.99 is only 0.01 away from 1, there’s still a 0.01 difference. That means even if two things are only a little different, they are still different, so doesn’t that make them completely different? My teacher answered my question by presenting another equation (等式):1=0.9, which could also be expressed as 1=0.999999… repeating itself without ever ending. There was something foreign but fascinating about the equation. The left side was unchangeable, objective: it contained a number that ended. On the right was something endless, a number repeating itself limitless times. Yet, somehow, these two opposed things were connected by an equal sign. Lying in bed, I thought about how much the equation paralleled our existence. The left side of the equation represents that sometimes life itself is so unchangeable and so clear. The concrete, whole number of the day when you were born and the day when you would die. But then there is that gap in between life and death. The right side means a time and space full of limitless possibilities, and endless opportunities into the open future. So that’s what life is. Objective but imaginative. Unchangeable but limitless. Life is an equation with two sides that balances itself out. Still, we can’t ever truly seem to put the perfect words to it. So possibly numbers can express ideas as equally well as words can. For now, let’s leave it at that:1=0.999999… and live a life like it. 4. What does the author emphasize about words in paragraph 1? A. Their wide variety. B. Their literary origins. C. Their distinct sounds. D. Their expressive power. 5. What made the author find the equation fascinating? A The repetition of a number. B. The way two different numbers are equal. C. The question the teacher raised. D. The difference between the two numbers. 6. What does the author think of “1=0.9”? A. They reveal the meaning of life. B. They are reliable in expressing ideas. C. They are useful in learning maths. D. They give limited possibilities. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. Why the equation exists everywhere? B. Which equation is important for people? C. How numbers can express ideas like words? D. When numbers can easily make up equations? C Second place is just the first loser. While the competitive spirit may be as natural as breathing air, it doesn’t always lead to human flourishing and can create misery. Fortunately, there is a formula to solve this problem: instead of always going for gold, shoot for the bronze. Though second place may be the first loser, third place can be the real winner regarding happiness and longevity. In a 1995 study, scholars systematically coded the emotional reactions of silver and bronze medalists in the 1992 Summer Olympic Games. Using slow-motion footage captured both immediately after their events and later on the awards podium (领奖台), researchers found the bronze winners appeared consistently happier on average than the silver medalists. Over 80% of bronze medalists exhibited genuine smiles, a figure that was nearly double that observed among silver medalists. Moreover, every bronze medalist’s smile lasted longer than the average smile observed among the silver medalists. More recent research has looked at the life span of all three medalist categories. A 2018 study found that the athlete whose best performance was silver lived to 72. Gold medalists beat this by four years, living to 76. But first prize in longevity went to the bronze medalists, who lived to 78. The study had a handy explanation for this discrepancy: “Unsatisfactory competition outcomes may adversely affect health.” In other words, silver medalists see themselves as the first loser because they look up to the top step and compare themselves only with the gold medalists, whereas the bronze winners compare themselves favorably with all the others who never made it onto the podium at all. This theory shows the difference between upward and downward social comparison. The worldly happiness strategy of striving for gold every day is foolish. It tends to lower the intrinsic motivation, and thus enjoyment that people obtain from their activities. The principle at work here is trying to improve your own past performance and the only person to whom you will have to compare yourself is you. 8. What can be learned from the 1995 study? A. Bronze winners appeared happier than silver medalists. B. Silver medalists smiled as frequently as bronze medalists. C. Bronze medalists’ smile lasted longer than every silver medalist’s. D. Both medalists’ emotions were unchanged from the events to the podium. 9. What is the cause of the difference in medalists’ life span? A. The stress from downward social comparison. B. The motivation from upward social comparison. C. The effect of different types of social comparison. D. The failure to look up to the top after the competition. 10. What does the writer advise us to do to achieve happiness? A. Learn from the top performers. B. Strengthen our achievement motivation. C. Try to be the best in every field. D. Commit to our consistent personal growth. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A The Triumph of Coming in Third B. The Problem of Human Competition C. The Mechanism of Social Comparison D. The Psychology of the Olympic Medalists D Doctor Dolittle, the well-known, fictional naturalist who famously possesses the ability to converse with animals and understand their languages has now inspired a high-paying science prize aimed at cracking the challenge of interspecies communication. A grand prize of $500,000, awaits whichever research team can make real progress: not just decoding the language of another species but using it to draw a reply from an animal. Last week, an initial $100,000 went to a US team studying dolphin whistles — after decades of recording bottlenose dolphins in Florida, they identified around 20 distinct messaging whistles. The Coller Dolittle Challenge financed by Jeremy Coller, a vegan and animal lover, is unashamedly modelled on the Turing test (图灵测试). That 20th-century test promotes efforts to design a machine capable of imitating human conversation, and became a touchstone in the evolution of AI. It also became a focus for concerns about machines tricking, even taking over, humans. The ability to commune with other species is likely to raise similar, unsettling questions as research progresses. If we were able to decode animal chatter, should this knowledge change how we treat them, whether as pets, labour or food? The prize presents a moral challenge and it forces us to reconsider our relationships with other species. Philosopher Jonathan Birch, also a judge of the Jeremy Coller Centre, stressed that the Challenge is looking beyond the interspecies communication we have with pets, or that a farmer has with a sheepdog. Those relationships involve signalling and behavioural responses, Birch explains, “but that’s not telling us how animals communicate with each other... this prize is about understanding it so well that we can start to join the conversation.” While Coller hopes his charity will reshape our attitude to animals, the truth is that even groundbreaking research has largely failed to move the dial on their welfare. Recent work on cephalopod’s (头足类动物) intelligence has not stopped plans to farm the creatures. We might one day be able to understand what animals are saying — but there is no guarantee we will listen. 12. Why is Turing test mentioned in the passage? A. To stress its role and value in AI progress. B. To show its difference from the Challenge. C. To warn of concerns the Challenge may face. D. To show its use in interspecies communication. 13. Which research would Birch approve of to win the prize? A. People communicating with their pets. B. People directing sheepdogs during work. C Researchers recording how cattle communicate. D. Researchers interacting with birds using whistles. 14. What does the “move the dial” mean in the last paragraph? A. Make a change. B. Win the prize. C. Slow the process. D. Continue the research. 15. What’s the author’s attitude toward the practical effect of the research? A. Optimistic. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Dismissive. 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。 Many adults are proud to share their fascinations with what others would label as kids’ toys. Mini Brands mystery packs or other blind boxes have become a phenomenon as collectibles for some adults. ____16____ For others, Legos are on their wishlist encouraged by the brand’s growing number of grown-up sets. ____17____ Seeking and sparking child-like joy may be part of the appeal, said behavioral therapist Maddy Ellberger. “When something reminds us of a positive memory, we are likely to engage with it because the association recalls those memories.” ____18____ Clothing brands are also cashing in on nostalgia (怀旧情怀) — from Crocs creating a Lizzie McGuire clog to Lululemon’s Disney collection making a full comeback that includes adults. Barbie isn’t just for kids clothes now either, thanks to the recent film and “Barbie-core” fashion trend. In addition to the trendy appeal, all these revivals can also touch on a feeling of connection during a time of increased division. But whether that desire for connection is satisfied depends on if you can translate the excitement into real, in-person connection. ____19____ But having or wearing the same thing is not the actual steps of forming shared identity,” Ellberger said. “And I feel like that’s some of what gets lost, and it isn’t impossible.” Ellberger has a great idea for this. “You are into a certain trend, like toys. There’s a good chance you’ll find others who are into the same trend. ____20____ If it was part of everyone’s secret Santa or white elephant — that’s a really cute way of connecting over this,” she said. A. The craze goes beyond toys. B. So, what’s with the fascination? C. It’s a great way to form community. D. Then give these toys to them as holiday gifts. E. Social media fuels the trend by creating shared experiences. F. Even stuffed animals are making their way into adults’ homes. G Childhood favorites have instead become relevant to adults again. 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Just ahead on the narrow road, the light from Kim’s torch (手电筒) flashed towards me.

I’ve been around fora long time, and I’ve had my heart broken by many things. “Mom, please,” my son, Mark, said on the phone. “I need you to consider moving. Just come and get closer to us — the kids will love having you here.” Reluctantly (勉强地), I had to give in. At seventy years old, and although I felt absolutely fine and healthy, I didn’t know if living by myself, so far away from Mark, was a good idea. “Fine,” I said. “You can start looking for a house, and I’ll start sorting things out here.” When William passed away, a part of me did, too. I appreciated that I might lose something. The world was suddenly less energetic, and the days seemed longer. I spent evenings in the kitchen, making fresh cookies — more than I could eat, prompting me to send them over to my neighbors. We were all extremely close, and William and I often threw parties in our backyard. The truth was that William and I had been quite popular in Virginia. Our barbecue restaurant was a beacon (灯塔) for all enthusiasts from across the state. We also had a range of spices which sold well in supermarkets. William always tested our new products on our neighbors during our dinners. “Mom, I found the perfect house,” Mark said. “I’ve viewed it, and I think you’ll love it.” The next thing I knew, I was packing up my life and heading to California for a new adventure. A few weeks into my new community, California presented a challenge I had not anticipated. I knew I didn’t fit into the neighborhood. While those families were incredibly friendly to each other, they seemed to cast me aside. My attempts at conversation were often met with cold shoulders. I watched everyone glance at my house from the sidewalk. Desperate and alone, I missed everything in Virginia. I thought moving here would get rid of my loneliness, but this was just loneliness in a different guise (形式). “Maybe I need to do something,” I whispered. 注意： (1) 续写词数为150左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 The next day, Mark came to see me, and I talked to him about it. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Neighbors arrived, drawn by the promise of a meal. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 芷兰2025年下学期高二第二次月考 英 语 试 题 时量：120分钟 满分：150分 祝考试顺利! 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上，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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。 1 What will Maria do tonight?

B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了气候变化对全球粮食生产的影响以及农民应对气候变暖的四种主要方式。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中WHEN部分“Adjusting planting dates requires no additional cost or work. (调整种植日期无需额外投入成本或增加工作量。)”可知，如果农民资金和劳动力短缺，可选择调整种植时间。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Wheat and rice — which benefit from more CO2 in the atmosphere — could see growing output, while corn and sorghum (高粱) could see a decline with warmer temperatures. (小麦和水稻——得益于大气中二氧化碳含量的增加 —— 产量可能会有所提升，而玉米和高粱则会因气温升高导致产量下降。)”和灰色柱状图中的最高数值是Rice的15%可知，在仅改变作物品种的情况下，稻米（Rice）的产量增幅是最大的。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“If farmers in particular regions — especially those that are most food-insecure — cannot adapt to climate change, this is still a major problem. So there is more we can do in the future.(如果特定地区的农民——特别是那些粮食最不安全的地区——无法适应气候变化，这仍然是一个主要问题。因此，未来我们还可以做更多。)”可知，未来应该帮助有需要的农民，特别是那些粮食最不安全的地区的农民。故选B。 B I used to believe that only words could catch the essence of the human soul.

The concrete, whole number of the day when you were born and the day when you would die. But then there is that gap in between life and death. The right side means a time and space full of limitless possibilities, and endless opportunities into the open future. So that’s what life is. Objective but imaginative. Unchangeable but limitless. Life is an equation with two sides that balances itself out. Still, we can’t ever truly seem to put the perfect words to it. So possibly numbers can express ideas as equally well as words can. For now, let’s leave it at that:1=0.999999… and live a life like it. 4. What does the author emphasize about words in paragraph 1? A. Their wide variety. B. Their literary origins. C. Their distinct sounds. D. Their expressive power. 5. What made the author find the equation fascinating? A. The repetition of a number. B. The way two different numbers are equal. C. The question the teacher raised. D. The difference between the two numbers. 6. What does the author think of “1=0.9”? A. They reveal the meaning of life. B. They are reliable in expressing ideas. C. They are useful in learning maths. D. They give limited possibilities. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. Why the equation exists everywhere? B. Which equation is important for people? C. How numbers can express ideas like words? D. When numbers can easily make up equations? 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者通过数学等式“1=0.999...”的思想实验，讲述了自己认知的转变：从坚信只有文字能捕捉灵魂的本质，到领悟数字同样拥有强大而诗意的表达力，并能揭示人生的哲理。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The literary works contained such distinct stories that they shaped the way we saw the world. Words were what composed the questions we sought to uncover and the answers to those questions themselves. Words were everything.(文学作品包含了如此独特的故事，以至于它们塑造了我们看待世界的方式。文字构成了我们试图揭示的问题，也构成了这些问题本身的答案。文字就是一切。)”可知，作者在本段强调的是文字具有塑造认知、构成问题与答案的强大能力，即其表达力。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“There was something foreign but fascinating about the equation. The left side was unchangeable, objective: it contained a number that ended. On the right was something endless, a number repeating itself limitless times. Yet, somehow, these two opposed things were connected by an equal sign.(这个等式有点奇怪，但很吸引人。左边是不变的、客观的：里面有一个有尽头的数字。右边是一个无穷无尽的东西，一个重复无数次的数字。然而，不知怎么的，这两个相反的东西被一个等号连接起来了。)”可知，令作者着迷的核心在于两个看似截然不同、甚至“对立”的数字通过等号相连而相等这一矛盾又统一的事实。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“Lying in bed, I thought about how much the equation paralleled our existence. The left side of the equation represents that sometimes life itself is so unchangeable and so clear. The concrete, whole number of the day when you were born and the day when you would die. But then there is that gap in between life and death. The right side means a time and space full of limitless possibilities, and endless opportunities into the open future.(躺在床上，我思考着这个等式与我们的存在是多么相似。等式的左边代表着：有时生命本身是如此不可更改，如此清晰明了——就像你出生那天和终将逝去那天那般具体而确切的整数。然而，在生与死之间存在着那段间隔。等式的右边则意味着一个充满无限可能性的时空，以及面向开放未来的无尽机遇。)”可知，作者将等式两边分别比喻为生命中确定的东西(如出生和死亡的日期)和充满无限可能的部分，由此可推知，作者认为这个等式揭示了生命的意义。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是文章开头“I used to believe that only words could catch the essence of the human soul.(我曾经相信，只有语言才能捕捉到人类灵魂的本质。)”提到作者曾相信只有文字能捕捉人类灵魂的本质，后来通过一个等式的启发，作者最终得出结论“So possibly numbers can express ideas as equally well as words can.(所以，也许数字能和文字一样好地表达思想。)”由此可知，文章主要探讨的是数字如何能像文字一样表达思想。故选C。 C Second place is just the first loser. While the competitive spirit may be as natural as breathing air, it doesn’t always lead to human flourishing and can create misery. Fortunately, there is a formula to solve this problem: instead of always going for gold, shoot for the bronze. Though second place may be the first loser, third place can be the real winner regarding happiness and longevity. In a 1995 study, scholars systematically coded the emotional reactions of silver and bronze medalists in the 1992 Summer Olympic Games. Using slow-motion footage captured both immediately after their events and later on the awards podium (领奖台), researchers found the bronze winners appeared consistently happier on average than the silver medalists. Over 80% of bronze medalists exhibited genuine smiles, a figure that was nearly double that observed among silver medalists. Moreover, every bronze medalist’s smile lasted longer than the average smile observed among the silver medalists. More recent research has looked at the life span of all three medalist categories. A 2018 study found that the athlete whose best performance was silver lived to 72. Gold medalists beat this by four years, living to 76. But first prize in longevity went to the bronze medalists, who lived to 78. The study had a handy explanation for this discrepancy: “Unsatisfactory competition outcomes may adversely affect health.” In other words, silver medalists see themselves as the first loser because they look up to the top step and compare themselves only with the gold medalists, whereas the bronze winners compare themselves favorably with all the others who never made it onto the podium at all. This theory shows the difference between upward and downward social comparison. The worldly happiness strategy of striving for gold every day is foolish. It tends to lower the intrinsic motivation, and thus enjoyment that people obtain from their activities. The principle at work here is trying to improve your own past performance and the only person to whom you will have to compare yourself is you. 8. What can be learned from the 1995 study? A. Bronze winners appeared happier than silver medalists. B. Silver medalists smiled as frequently as bronze medalists. C. Bronze medalists’ smile lasted longer than every silver medalist’s. D. Both medalists’ emotions were unchanged from the events to the podium. 9. What is the cause of the difference in medalists’ life span? A. The stress from downward social comparison. B. The motivation from upward social comparison. C. The effect of different types of social comparison. D. The failure to look up to the top after the competition. 10. What does the writer advise us to do to achieve happiness? A. Learn from the top performers. B. Strengthen our achievement motivation. C. Try to be the best in every field. D. Commit to our consistent personal growth. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Triumph of Coming in Third B. The Problem of Human Competition C. The Mechanism of Social Comparison D. The Psychology of the Olympic Medalists 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过研究奥运会银牌和铜牌得主的情绪反应与寿命差异，提出“追求铜牌（而非金牌）反而能收获更多幸福感”的观点，倡导人们以自我提升为目标，而非盲目与顶尖者比较。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第2段中“Using slow-motion footage captured both immediately after their events and later on the awards podium, researchers found the bronze winners appeared consistently happier on average than the silver medalists.(通过使用在比赛结束后和随后在领奖台上捕捉到的慢镜头，研究人员发现，平均而言，铜牌得主表现得一直比银牌得主更快乐。)”可知，研究发现铜牌得主看起来比银牌得主更快乐。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第4段中“The study had a handy explanation for this discrepancy: ‘Unsatisfactory competition outcomes may adversely affect health.’ In other words, silver medalists see themselves as the first loser because they look up to the top step and compare themselves only with the gold medalists, whereas the bronze winners compare themselves favorably with all the others who never made it onto the podium at all. This theory shows the difference between upward and downward social comparison.(这项研究对这种差异有一个简单的解释：‘不满意的竞争结果可能会对健康产生负面影响’。换句话说，银牌获得者认为自己是头号失败者，因为他们仰望着最高的台阶，只把自己和金牌获得者比较，而铜牌获得者则把自己和其他从未登上领奖台的人比较。这个理论显示了向上和向下的社会比较之间的区别。)”可知，奖牌得主寿命差异的原因是不同类型的社会比较带来的影响。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The principle at work here is trying to improve your own past performance and the only person to whom you will have to compare yourself is you.(这里起作用的原则是努力提升你自己过去的成绩，而你必须与之比较的唯一对象就是你自己。)”可知，作者建议我们通过致力于持续的个人成长来获得幸福。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第2段“researchers found the bronze winners appeared consistently happier on average than the silver medalists.(研究人员发现，平均而言，铜牌得主看起来总是比银牌得主更快乐。)”、第3段“But first prize in longevity went to the bronze medalists, who lived to 78.(但在长寿这一项上拔得头筹的是铜牌得主，他们的寿命达到了78岁。)”以及最后一段“The worldly happiness strategy of striving for gold every day is foolish.(那种每天都追求金牌的世俗幸福策略是不明智的。)”可知，全文围绕铜牌得主在幸福感和寿命上的优势展开，核心观点是“第三名反而能成为真正的赢家”，A项“The Triumph of Coming in Third(第三名的胜利)”符合题意。故选A。 D Doctor Dolittle, the well-known, fictional naturalist who famously possesses the ability to converse with animals and understand their languages has now inspired a high-paying science prize aimed at cracking the challenge of interspecies communication. A grand prize of $500,000, awaits whichever research team can make real progress: not just decoding the language of another species but using it to draw a reply from an animal. Last week, an initial $100,000 went to a US team studying dolphin whistles — after decades of recording bottlenose dolphins in Florida, they identified around 20 distinct messaging whistles. The Coller Dolittle Challenge financed by Jeremy Coller, a vegan and animal lover, is unashamedly modelled on the Turing test (图灵测试). That 20th-century test promotes efforts to design a machine capable of imitating human conversation, and became a touchstone in the evolution of AI. It also became a focus for concerns about machines tricking, even taking over, humans. The ability to commune with other species is likely to raise similar, unsettling questions as research progresses. If we were able to decode animal chatter, should this knowledge change how we treat them, whether as pets, labour or food? The prize presents a moral challenge and it forces us to reconsider our relationships with other species. Philosopher Jonathan Birch, also a judge of the Jeremy Coller Centre, stressed that the Challenge is looking beyond the interspecies communication we have with pets, or that a farmer has with a sheepdog. Those relationships involve signalling and behavioural responses, Birch explains, “but that’s not telling us how animals communicate with each other... this prize is about understanding it so well that we can start to join the conversation.” While Coller hopes his charity will reshape our attitude to animals, the truth is that even groundbreaking research has largely failed to move the dial on their welfare. Recent work on cephalopod’s (头足类动物) intelligence has not stopped plans to farm the creatures. We might one day be able to understand what animals are saying — but there is no guarantee we will listen. 12. Why is Turing test mentioned in the passage? A. To stress its role and value in AI progress. B. To show its difference from the Challenge. C. To warn of concerns the Challenge may face. D. To show its use in interspecies communication. 13. Which research would Birch approve of to win the prize? A. People communicating with their pets. B. People directing sheepdogs during work. C. Researchers recording how cattle communicate. D. Researchers interacting with birds using whistles. 14. What does the “move the dial” mean in the last paragraph? A. Make a change. B. Win the prize. C. Slow the process. D. Continue the research. 15. What’s the author’s attitude toward the practical effect of the research? A. Optimistic. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Dismissive. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍以杜立德医生为灵感设立的科勒·杜立德挑战奖，旨在推动跨物种交流研究，同时探讨该研究面临的道德问题与实际效果争议。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The Coller Dolittle Challenge financed by Jeremy Coller, a vegan and animal lover, is unashamedly modelled on the Turing test (图灵测试). That 20th-century test promotes efforts to design a machine capable of imitating human conversation, and became a touchstone in the evolution of AI. It also became a focus for concerns about machines tricking, even taking over, humans. The ability to commune with other species is likely to raise similar, unsettling questions as research progresses. (由素食主义者兼动物爱好者杰里米·科勒资助的“科勒·杜立德挑战奖”，毫不避讳地以图灵测试为蓝本。这项诞生于20世纪的测试，推动了人们研发能够模仿人类对话的机器，成为人工智能发展史上的一块试金石。它同时也引发了人们的担忧——担心机器会欺骗甚至掌控人类。而随着研究的推进，与其他物种进行交流的能力，也可能引发类似的、令人不安的问题)”可知，提及图灵测试是为了指出该挑战奖可能面临与图灵测试类似的担忧。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Philosopher Jonathan Birch, also a judge of the Jeremy Coller Centre, stressed that the Challenge is looking beyond the interspecies communication we have with pets, or that a farmer has with a sheepdog. Those relationships involve signalling and behavioural responses, Birch explains, “but that’s not telling us how animals communicate with each other... this prize is about understanding it so well that we can start to join the conversation.”(哲学家乔纳森·伯奇同时也是杰里米·科勒中心的评委，他强调，该挑战关注的跨物种交流，远不止我们与宠物之间、或是农民与牧羊犬之间的那种交流。伯奇解释道：“那些关系涉及信号传递和行为反应，但这并不能让我们了解动物之间是如何交流的……这个奖项的目的，是要充分理解动物间的交流方式，从而让我们能够参与到这种交流之中。”)”可知，伯奇认可的获奖研究应是能让人类参与到动物交流中的研究，“研究人员用口哨与鸟类互动”符合“参与交流”的特点。故选D项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中的“While Coller hopes his charity will reshape our attitude to animals, the truth is that even groundbreaking research has largely failed to move the dial on their welfare. Recent work on cephalopod’s intelligence has not stopped plans to farm the creatures.(虽然科勒希望他的慈善项目能改变我们对动物的态度，但事实是，即使是突破性的研究，在很大程度上也未能move the dial动物的福利状况。最近关于头足类动物智力的研究，也未能阻止养殖这类动物的计划)”可知，“头足类动物智力研究未能阻止其养殖计划”是对“未能move the dial on their welfare”的举例说明，由此可推测“move the dial”意为“产生改变、带来影响”。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“While Coller hopes his charity will reshape our attitude to animals, the truth is that even groundbreaking research has largely failed to move the dial on their welfare. Recent work on cephalopod’s (头足类动物) intelligence has not stopped plans to farm the creatures. We might one day be able to understand what animals are saying — but there is no guarantee we will listen. (虽然科勒希望他的慈善项目能改变我们对动物的态度，但事实是，即便具有突破性的研究，在很大程度上也未能改变动物的福利状况。最近关于头足类动物智力的研究，并未阻止人们养殖这类动物的计划。也许有一天我们能理解动物在说什么——但无法保证我们会听从它们的声音)”可知，作者指出研究在改善动物福利方面效果有限，对研究的实际效果持怀疑态度。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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many adults are proud to share their fascinations with what others would label as kids’ toys. Mini Brands mystery packs or other blind boxes have become a phenomenon as collectibles for some adults. ____16____ For others, Legos are on their wishlist encouraged by the brand’s growing number of grown-up sets. ____17____ Seeking and sparking child-like joy may be part of the appeal, said behavioral therapist Maddy Ellberger. “When something reminds us of a positive memory, we are likely to engage with it because the association recalls those memories.” ____18____ Clothing brands are also cashing in on nostalgia (怀旧情怀) — from Crocs creating a Lizzie McGuire clog to Lululemon’s Disney collection making a full comeback that includes adults. Barbie isn’t just for kids clothes now either, thanks to the recent film and “Barbie-core” fashion trend. In addition to the trendy appeal, all these revivals can also touch on a feeling of connection during a time of increased division. But whether that desire for connection is satisfied depends on if you can translate the excitement into real, in-person connection. ____19____ But having or wearing the same thing is not the actual steps of forming shared identity,” Ellberger said. “And I feel like that’s some of what gets lost, and it isn’t impossible.” Ellberger has a great idea for this. “You are into a certain trend, like toys. There’s a good chance you’ll find others who are into the same trend. ____20____ If it was part of everyone’s secret Santa or white elephant — that’s a really cute way of connecting over this,” she said. A. The craze goes beyond toys. B. So, what’s with the fascination? C It’s a great way to form community. D. Then give these toys to them as holiday gifts. E. Social media fuels the trend by creating shared experiences. F. Even stuffed animals are making their way into adults’ homes. G.

I’ve been around fora long time, and I’ve had my heart broken by many things. “Mom, please,” my son, Mark, said on the phone. “I need you to consider moving. Just come and get closer to us — the kids will love having you here.” Reluctantly (勉强地), I had to give in. At seventy years old, and although I felt absolutely fine and healthy, I didn’t know if living by myself, so far away from Mark, was a good idea. “Fine,” I said. “You can start looking for a house, and I’ll start sorting things out here.” When William passed away, a part of me did, too. I appreciated that I might lose something. The world was suddenly less energetic, and the days seemed longer. I spent evenings in the kitchen, making fresh cookies — more than I could eat, prompting me to send them over to my neighbors. We were all extremely close, and William and I often threw parties in our backyard. The truth was that William and I had been quite popular in Virginia. Our barbecue restaurant was a beacon (灯塔) for all enthusiasts from across the state. We also had a range of spices which sold well in supermarkets. William always tested our new products on our neighbors during our dinners. “Mom, I found the perfect house,” Mark said. “I’ve viewed it, and I think you’ll love it.” The next thing I knew, I was packing up my life and heading to California for a new adventure. A few weeks into my new community, California presented a challenge I had not anticipated. I knew I didn’t fit into the neighborhood. While those families were incredibly friendly to each other, they seemed to cast me aside. My attempts at conversation were often met with cold shoulders. I watched everyone glance at my house from the sidewalk. Desperate and alone, I missed everything in Virginia. I thought moving here would get rid of my loneliness, but this was just loneliness in a different guise (形式). “Maybe I need to do something,” I whispered. 注意： (1) 续写词数为150左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 The next day, Mark came to see me, and I talked to him about it. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Neighbors arrived, drawn by the promise of a meal. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible version: The next day, Mark came to see me, and I talked to him about it. I told him I would like to hold a barbecue party and bring the neighbors together for a meal. Understanding dawned in Mark’s eyes. He took me to the nearby supermarket, and we got everything we needed—including our spices. Over the next few days, with Mark and his family’s help, my backyard was transformed into a temporary barbecue restaurant. Then we sent out invitations door-to-door. As the first wisps of smoke rose into the air, carrying with them the mouthwatering scent of cooking meats, curiosity replaced the indifference I had grown accustomed to. Neighbors arrived, drawn by the promise of a meal. I greeted them as my guests arrived, their expressions a mix of surprise and excitement. As the day went on, my backyard filled with laughter. Mark, his wife and their children moved around our guests, serving, chatting, and breaking down the invisible barriers that had once seemed impossible to overcome. “It can only get better from here, Mum.” Mark smiled. Gradually, I found a sense of belonging in the new community, and the feeling of loneliness faded away. I discovered that as long as I opened my heart and bravely embraced new challenges, life would still be filled with hope and beauty. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，丈夫William去世后，作者独自住在弗吉尼亚的大房子里，在儿子Mark的劝说下，勉强同意搬家靠近他们。之后作者开始打包前往加利福尼亚开启新生活。但在新社区的几周里，作者面临挑战，感觉不被邻居接纳，十分孤独，本以为搬家能消除孤独，没想到只是换了一种形式，作者觉得或许需要做点什么来改变现状。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天，马克来看我，我和他谈起了这件事。”可知，第一段可描写作者和Mark商量打算邀请邻居们举办一个烧烤派对，Mark恍然大悟，去超市购买了所需的一切，并将后院布置成了一个临时的烧烤餐厅，然后挨家挨户去邀请邻居，等待着邻居们的到来。 ②由第二段首句内容“邻居们被一顿饭的承诺吸引而来。”可知，第二段可描写邻居们到来，惊讶又兴奋，后院充满了欢声笑语，打破了无法逾越的障碍，作者在新社区中有了归属感。 2.续写线索：烧烤派对——恍然大悟——购物——帮助——邀请——吸引——到达——欢声笑语——打破障碍——归属感 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①告诉：told /said /informed /related ②送出：sent out /distributed /dispatched 情绪类 ①冷漠：indifference /apathy /coldness /unconcern ②孤独：loneliness /solitude /isolation /lonesomeness 【点睛】[高分句型1] As the first wisps of smoke rose into the air, carrying with them the mouthwatering scent of cooking meats, curiosity replaced the indifference I had grown accustomed to.
